Over for tredjelande findes der ganske givet en mulighed for at forhindre en unfair konkurrence som følge af placeringen i form af indførelse af en social klausul, f.eks. i handelsaftaler, og i gennemførelsen af antidumpingforanstaltninger, f.eks. på Uruguay-rundens område.
On the one hand, the transnational programmes for place ments in industry for students and for students who have completed their basic training gave rise to 102 projects, which will benefit 5, 175 persons; 44 of these projects were submitted by university-industry training partnerships, 33 by universities and 9 by chambers of commerce.

Om: Virksomhedsflytninger
This is the justification for the fact that certain structural funds are allocated in the first place.
Den bedste sikring mod virksomhedsflytninger er efter min opfattelse uddannelse og kvalificering af arbejdstagere, forskning og udvikling for at øge konkurrenceevnen og at sikre tilstedeværelsen af firmaer på vækstmarkederne, en aktiv arbejdsmarkedspolitik for at identificere beskæftigel-
The question raised in the question of the Renault factory in Setúbal - which we have repeatedly discussed in the European Parliament - was to know whether or not, in cases where an undertaking fails to respect its commit ments and relocates a production unit having benefitted from Community aid, the Commission has any plans for specific monitoring measures, i.e. measures to block this violation by an undertaking which has directly or indirectly benefitted from Community funds, in other words disrespect for its set of obligations.
Wulf-Mathies sesmuligheder, således f.eks. inden for servicesektoren, samt lokale beskæftigelsesinitiativer, som fremmer det regionale udviklingspotentiale, lokale produkter og tjene steydelser og ikke udelukkende er rettet mod den internationale konkurrence.
The response rate by organizations in these new Member States to calls for proposals published in 1995 was gener­ally significant.
Dette er dog kun nogle foranstaltninger, det er ganske givet ikke. noget fuldstændigt katalog over foranstaltninger til at forhindre en unfair konkurrence som følge af placeringen.
Only Austrian companies, research centres and universities do not seem to show an interest which reflects the country's scientific and technical potential.
Wolf (V). - (DE) Fru kommissær, jeg er meget tilfreds med, at De afstod fra forsøget på at overbevise mig om, at man ikke kunne præsentere et så vanskeligt spørgsmål for plenum.
addition, 70 technological innovation transfer projects were accepted under university­enterprise continuous train­ing partnerships; 24 of these projects were submitted by university­industry partnerships, 15 by universities and 5 by chambers of commerce.
Man meddelte mig forinden, at dette spørgsmål var så komplekst, at man ikke kunne behandle det under spørgetidert. Mange tak, fru kommissær, fordi De alligevel har behandlet det.
University­industry training partnerships, already very much in evidence under the COMETT programme, have therefore achieved a very high level of participation under the LEONARDO programme.
Jeg er faktisk også enig med hende i, at konkurrence efter al sandsynlighed føres bedre på kvalitet end på europæiske subsidier.
The participation rates of Swedish, Finnish and Austrian organizations, as a proportion of total partici­pations in 1995, were 4.6 %, 2.9 % and 1.9 % respectively.
Hun har mere end ret, når hún siger, at mange rygter om såkaldte virksomhedsflytninger inden for rammerne af lønkonkurrence er grebet ud af den blå luft, efter al sandsynlighed også affødt lidt af misundelse.
We also see a good level of participation by eligible bodies in these three new Member States in the field of education and training, due in particular to the experience acquired in the framework of the EEA.
Wulf-Mathies. - (DE) De tager her et problem op, hvor det falder mig vanskeligt at sige, at det bør vi gøre.
Kerr (PSE). ­ I thank the Commissioner for her response; perhaps she would send it to me in writing as well as my speed writing is not quite up to keeping up with her oral answer.
I grunden er strukturpolitik nemlig en ulempeudligning, som også bevidst diskriminerer, idet den yder støtte til regioner, der er svagere, for at der er nogen, der etablerer sig der. Man kan naturligvis ikke generelt udelukke, at denne positive diskriminering også undertiden forfordeler nogen.
This is true for SOCRATES for example: for the 1995­1996 academic year, and on the basis of forecasts drawn up by the national agencies, the number of Austrian, Finnish and Swedish students due to study in other Member States is 11, 644, with 10, 691 Community students set to study in the three new Member States.
Vi havde jo en række tilfælde, hvor vi konkret havde anledning til at gøre os den tanke, om der ikke bør sættes en stopper for den situation, der består i, at der ikke findes nogen koordinering, således at man kan forhindre en unfair konkurrence som følge af placeringen og en behændig udnyttelse af denne fra virksomhedernes side, netop når de flytter deres arbejdspladser frem og tilbage.
Hawlicek (PSE). ­ (DE) ■ Commissioner, even when I tabled the question, I was aware that it would perhaps have been better to put it to you in writing.
Jeg kan heller ikke sige nøjagtigt, hvad hvem der har besluttet og hvorfor.
Could I ask you for a further written reply, providing a comparison with the other 12 Member States?
Det er nemlig komplekse beslutninger,.og der bliver undertiden sagt én ting, gjort noget andet, og en tredje ting er den virkelige grund.
The breakdown by programme already gives some indication, but I would like to have more details, both percentages and absolute figures, particularly as regards research, where I am understandably disappointed at my country's low level of involvement.
Mit spørgsmål til Kommissionen lyder: Er Kommissionen rede til at gøre sig nærmere overvejelser om, hvorvidt det ville være muligt at sørge for, at støtteprogrammerne ikke utilsigtet bidrager til en unfair konkurrence som følge af placeringen?
In reply to Mr Kerr's question about Leonardo, you said that an evaluation was needed. I would ask you to carry out such an evaluation ­ at a later stage, of course, since it is not feasible after only a year.
Principielt er denne form for diskriminering tilsigtet og heller ikke unfair, fordi den nemlig udgør en ulempeudligning for de svagere regioner, selv om dette så medfører, at den næstsvageste ligeledes pludselig føler sig forfordelt og siger: »Jeg har også brug for støtte.« Dvs. vi vil her altid have at gøre med en vanskelig grænsekonkurrencezone, hvor vi kun på baggrund af et klogt og målrettet valg af projekter kan forsøge at undgå, at det resulterer i en sådan udvikling i uheldig retning.
I raised this matter because I was approached by constitu­ents of mine ­ from the University of Hertfordshire in particular, but also a number of regional organizations ­concerning the ARTISTE and TARGET programmes.
Vi skal dog være ærlige og indrømme, at vi ikke generelt kan forhindre det.
Their experience with the first round of LEONARDO is not as successful as Mrs Cresson suggests.
Wulf-Mathies. - (DE) Principielt vil jeg gerne besvare Deres spørgsmål med ja.
In particular, they make the point that many of the regional infrastructures which have been built up under the previous programmes, particularly COMETT, have not been successfully re­funded.
I det mindste to af de eksempler, De nævnte, har jeg også personligt undersøgt nærmere, nemlig den berømte Lufthansa-sag og Renault Setúbal.
Therefore, previous European money which was spent setting up regional networks, which were doing precisely the work which LEONARDO was meant to encompass and organizing student placements and linking business and universities and so on, has been lost because of unsuccessful applications.
Hvad angår sagen i forbindelse med Renault Setúbal, opfordrede vi dengang den portugisiske regering til at undersøge sagen mere indgående.
It may be that the Commission officials are not quite up to speed yet in terms of incorporating the new programme from the old.
For så vidt angår Lufthansa Berlin, har vi med hensyn til de irske forhold intet fundet, der havde kunnet begrunde, om man vil, et indgreb fra EUKommissionens side på grund af tilsidesættelse af strukturpolitiske principper.
Cresson. ­ (FR) Madam, the Commission does not issue statistics on funds allocated to companies, research centres and universities on the basis of their geographical distribu­tion within the Union.
Barros Moura (PSE). - (PT) Jeg takker kommissæren for den utvetydige tilkendegivelse af, at formålet med strukturfondene netop er at afhjælpe skævheder og uligheder mellem lande og regioner.
Cresson. ­ (FR) I can assure the honourable Member that this problem has not escaped our notice.
Det er selve grundlaget for tildelingen af visse strukturfondsmidler.
As is the case every time a new programme is set up, difficulties arise, especially when it follows a previous action of the same nature.
Dette var problemet i forbindelse med Renault i Setúbal, men det glæder mig, at kommissæren udtrykkeligt har bekræftet legitimiteten af positiv forskelsbehandling til fordel for regioner og lande med strukturelle efterslæb.
We are therefore in the process of assessing the situation and I will soon be able to present you with our findings.
Wulf-Mathies. - (DE) Vi undersøger naturligvis, om grundlagene og betingelserne for at yde støtte med rette foreligger eller ej.
President. ­ Question No 35 by Hilde Hawlicek (H­0041/ 96)
Også i den forbindelse er det dog undertiden vanskeligt, når en virksomhed siger: Vi skaber så og så mange arbejdspladser her eller der.
The Commission believes that such statistics threaten to encourage notions of equity.
Så kunne vi sige: Hvis I flytter nu, så overholder I i længden ikke denne forpligtelse. Hvis virksomheden imidlertid bibeholder et
Subject: Education and training programmes in the new Member States
Alligevel er jeg naturligvis klar over, at der altid findes en overflade og et eller andet under vandet, som man ikke kan se tilstrækkeligt klart.
To what extent did the new Member States (Finland, Austria and Sweden) participate in EU education and training programmes in their first year of accession, i.e. 1995?
Jeg kan egentlig kun love Dem, at vi, når som helst vi får oplysninger, vil forsøge at undersøge disse nærmere. Om det er en vellykket strategi, ved jeg ikke.
On the subject of statistics in general, the Commission would, however, like to draw Parliament's attention to the many tables included in the annual report which the Commission publishes on the European Union's research and technological development activities, in accordance with Article 130p of the Treaty.
Når som helst der byder sig en chance, vil vi forsøge at gribe dette spørgsmål mere systematisk an.
I should like to add that new Member States must start somewhere and I travelled to Vienna to launch the pro­
Men jeg ser i øjeblikket ikke nogen fornuftig og praktisk måde at gøre dette på.,
Cresson, Member of the Commission. ­ (FR) The new Member States participate substantially in the European Union's research programmes.
Wulf­Mathies bestemt antal arbejdspladser, f.eks. i Setúbal, men mener, at der for at erobre markedet χ eller y er behov for en fabrik det pågældende sted, så er det meget vanskeligt at sige: I har ikke overholdt forpligtelserne.
Cresson gramme on new materials, which met with a resounding success. Many industrialists and small and mediumsized enterprises in particular came to find out about the procedures to follow in replying to calls for proposals and in order to be included in consortiums.
overførsel af teknologiske nyskabelser inden for rammerne af et samarbejde mellem universitet og virksomhed vedrø­rende efterog videreuddannelse; 24 af disse projekter udgik fra partnerskaber mellem universiteter og virksomheder, 15 fra universiteter og 5 fra handelskamre.
Izquierdo Collado (PSE). - (ES) Commissioner, I am afraid our information differs. However, the main purpose of my question was to reveal the fact, here in the House, that a whole set of research projects on the environment and climate has been rejected by the group of experts responsible for their assessment.
De uddannelsespartnerskaber mellem universiteter og virk­somheder, som allerede deltog under programmet COMETT, har således nået et højt deltagelsesniveau inden for LEONARDO.
I believe that there is always a period of settling in, but I also believe that we can be optimistic for the future and that Austrian industry and research will ultimately participate in these programmes just as much as other Member States.
Et yderligere problem har vi naturligvis i forbindelse med enhver investeringsstøtte til virksomheder.
This is a serious matter, in my view, and I wish it to go on record in the House - just as it will go on record again, if decisions of this kind are repeated.
Dette problem må man også gøre sig klart.
Our figures differ, Commissioner.
Virksomheder kan operere på markedet og oprindeligt have gode hensigter om at skabe 500 eller 1.000 arbejdspladser. Men hvis de ikke kommer af med deres produkt, kan de netop også være tvunget til at træffe beslutninger, som er et résultat af markedets reak­tioner, og som i strukturpolitisk henseende er ubehagelige for os.
According to my information, 46 projects were submitted: 46 projects which, with five institutes on average involved in each project, gives a figure of 230 institutes throughout the European Union - research centres among the best in Europe - which are channelling their efforts in this direction and putting forward proposals.
Vedrørende partnerskaber bør man lægge mærke til, at der inden for rammerne af den første indkaldelse af forslag allerede er etableret 9 transnationale net på regionalt niveau og 25 på sektorniveau.
You will nevertheless understand the need to avoid any debate on equity and that if we set up consortiums, or rather if we encourage them to be set up, this is so that research centres, universities and companies in the various Member States can work together.
Ingen tvivl om, at bestræbelserne bør føres videre, men man må sige, at LEONARDO­programmet er kommet godt fra start.
We are not seeking to replace the research policy of Member States where there are already many loans to universities, research centres and companies.
Kerr (PSE). ­ (EN) Jeg takker kommissæren for hendes svar; måske vil hun også sende det til mig skriftligt, da jeg ikke kan skrive så hurtigt, at jeg kan følge med hendes mundtlige svar.
My question is, therefore: have they not managed to submit viable projects, when potential users are eagerly waiting to exploit these applications?
Netop Portugal har naturligvis også på baggrund af et andet eksempel, nemlig Palmela, været noget, som absolut har givet mig anledning til bekymring.
I would just like to point out that for every Ecu provided by the Commission, there are seven others from various sources.
Her er der fortsat en vis usikker­hed, men generelt gælder det: Hvis betingelserne for støtte ikke opfyldes, har Kommissionen også sanktionsmulighe­der.
The Commission's research policy thus serves both to exercise a leverage effect and to bring together partners which often continue to work together, even outside the programmes financed by the Commission.
Formanden. ­ Hermed er første del af spørgetiden afslut­tet.
In my view, Commissioner, these mistakes must not be repeated - and this is not the first time that they have been made.
Anden del: Spørgsmål til bestemte kommissærer
President. - Question No 36 by Juan Izquierdo Collado (H-0046/96)
Formanden. ­ Spørgsmål nr. 34 af Hugh Kerr (H­0035/ 96):
Subject: Rejection of projects submitted to the Environment and Climate Programme
Om: Resultater af Leonardo­programmet
Cresson. - (FR) You are in fact asking me about the consequences on the use of funds of the decision not to accept the pilot projects submitted in response to the June 1996 call for proposals.
Kan Kommissionen kommentere de tidlige resultater af ansøgninger til Leonardo­programmet, navnlig de ansøgninger under afsnit II i Leonardo­programmet, som tidligere modtog støtte fra Còmett­programmet. Mener Kommissionen ikke også, at mange transnatio­nale partnerskaber og europæiske net er i fare, hvis ikke de modtager støtte fra Leonardo­programmet?
Can the Commissioner responsible for Research and Energy explain, on scientific or regulatory grounds, why all the projects submitted to the Environment and Climate Programme (Theme C: 'Space techniques applied to environmental monitoring and research', Area I: 'Methodological research and pilot projects', Sub-area 2: 'Pilot projects') have been rejected?
Jeg rejste dette spørgsmål, fordi nogle af mine vælgere ­navnlig fra University of Hertfordshire, men også en række regionale organisationer ­ henvendte sig til mig vedrø­rende ARTISTE­ og TARGET­programmerne.
I should like to give a number of details. The total amount of the call for proposals was estimated at ECU 15 million, to be shared equally between methodological research and pilot projects.
Deres erfa­ring med den første runde af LEONARDO er ikke så vellykkede, som fru Cresson siger.
Given the lack of quality pilot projects submitted following the call for proposals, only about ECU 12 million will be allocated, to methodological research.
De siger navnlig, at mange af de regionale infrastrukturer, som er blevet op­bygget som led i de tidligere programmer, navnlig COMETT, ikke er blevet refunderet tilfredsstillende.
The next call for proposals will consequently be principally aimed at pilot projects and will involve an amount of ECU 15 million.
Tid­ligere europæiske midler, som blev anvendt til at oprette regionale net, som gjorde nøjagtigt det, LEONARDO efter planen skulle gøre, samt til at arrangere formidlinger af studerende, bringe erhvervsliv og universiteter sammen osv., er derfor gået tabt som følge af forgæves ansøgninger.
Cresson, Member of the Commission. - (FR) The space techniques applied to environmental monitoring and re search are one of the themes of the specific environment and climate programme.
På baggrund af deres kontakter i nettene i hele Europa mener de, at der er et generelt problem her.
A call for proposals was published on 15 June 1995 for methodological research actions and pilot projects.
Det kan skyldes, at syv programmer kombineres til ét med LEO­NARDO.
You are perhaps wondering about the evaluation criteria applied by the experts and which were included in the information file which was made available to all the interested parties.
Jeg vil være taknemlig, hvis kommissæren vil se på det igen og måske foretage en undersøgelse og evaluering og snarest muligt give Parla­mentet en tilbagemelding herom.
In this particular case, two additional criteria apply: the involvement of users and compliance with the description of a pilot project.
Cresson. ­ (FR) Jeg kan forsikre det ærede medlem om, at vi er opmærksomme på dette problem.
The scientific and technical quality of most of these pilot projects was felt to be insufficient.
Som det altid sker, når et nyt program løber af stablen, dukker der problemer op, især når der allerede har været gennemført en lignende aktion.
The Commission is determined to maintain a high standard of quality for activities under the framework programme for technological research and development.
Cresson, medlem af Kommissionen. ­ (FR) LEONARDO­programmet har i løbet af det første år efter dets iværksæt­telse fået stor respons i alle medlemsstater.
As a result, the Commission's services propose that none of the pilot projects received following this first call should be accepted.
Denne positive modtagelse har givet sig udtryk i fremlæggelsen af i alt 4.540 projekter, hvoraf 734 drejede sig om samarbejde mellem universiteter og virksomheder inden for rammerne af programmets afsnit II.
The Commission does, however, consider that the implementation of pilot projects is essential to the development of these new Earth observation techniques.
Antallet af projekter støttet under de to mål, der drejer sig om aktioner vedrørende samar­bejde mellem universiteter og virksomheder, udgjorde 172 og beløb sig til 25.296.471 ecu.
In order to guarantee the required level of quality at the next call for proposals, the Commission will be launching a promotional campaign aimed at potentially interested par ties.
Som følge heraf er vi i færd med at foretage en vurdering af situationen, og jeg vil i den nærmeste fremtid være i stand til at forelægge Dem resultatet.
In cooperation with the users of these techniques, it is at present looking at the central themes of this next call for proposals during the last quarter of 1996.
Formanden. ­ Spørgsmål nr. 35 af Hilde Hawlicek (H­0041/96):
I could perhaps redefine exactly what a pilot project is.
Om: Uddannelses­ og forskningsprogrammer i de nye . medlemsstater
The definition of a pilot project is, moreover, given in the annex to the work programme.
På den ene side har de transnationale programmer for studerendes og færdiguddannedes uddannelsesophold på virksomheder resulteret i 102 projekter, som 5.175 perso­ner har draget nytte af; 44 af disse projekter udgår fra uddannelsespartnerskaber mellem universiteter og virk­somheder, 33 fra universiteter og 9 fra handelskamre. På den anden side er der ydet støtte til 70 projekter af typen
Pilot projects are intended to test profitability in an operational environment of a selected application of demonstrated technical feasibility.
I hvilket omfang har de nye medlemsstater (Finland, Østrig, Sverige) deltaget i EU's uddannelses­ og forsk­ningsprogrammer i det første år, de har været medlem, dvs. i 1995?
They can include the following elements: analysis of the user's operational needs, identification of a data supply chain in order to obtain the necessary information, preparation of an implementation plan indicating the close cooperation of at least one user and the establishment of a pilot system.
') Se bilag »Spørgetid«.
They must also give rise to lasting applications.
Nr. 4­475/81 aktiviteter inden for forskning og teknologisk udvikling i Den Europæiske Union.
No 4-475/81
Jeg vil gerne tilføje med hensyn til nye medlemsstater, at det er helt normalt, at det kræver en del forarbejde, og jeg var selv i Wien for at igangsætte programmet om nye materialer, som fik stor succes. Der kom faktisk mange erhvervsfolk, navnlig fra små og mellemstore virksomhe­der, for at få oplysninger om den anvendte fremgangsmåde, når man vil reagere på indkaldelser af tilbud og deltage i konsortier.
I should like to add that, when it comes to issues relating to world trade and, in particular, to the World Trade Organisation, it is possible that the question of social clauses might be raised in the scope of the World Trade Organisation where, naturally and in the course of things, other aspects hinted at in the question put by the Member of the European Parliament might be covered.
Situationen vurderes naturligvis ud fra tallene for delta­gelse i forskningsprojekter støttet af Kommissionen.
Secondly, I am encouraged to hear that you will now begin to promote further bids for this project.
Hvad angår den samlede deltagelse i 1995 nåede tallene for svensk, finsk og østrigsk deltagelse op på henholdsvis 4, 6 %, 2,9 % og 1,9 %.
Will Parliament be informed when this promotion takes place and will we see the detail of the promotion which you intend to embark upon?
Under alle omstændigheder forstår De sikkert, at man bør undgå en debat om rimelig tilbagebetaling, og at. når vi opretter konsortier, eller rettere når vi tilskynder til opret­telsen af konsortier, er det for at vænne forskningscentre, universiteter og virksomheder i de forskellige medlemssta­ter til at arbejde sammen.
Barros Moura (PSE). - (PT) Mr President, Commissioner, I think that the reply which the Commission has just given me does confirm, on one hand, the importance which the European Union attaches to this meeting but it also confirms that this meeting might be the beginning of a new approach to the whole issue.
