Aftalen foreskriver desuden tydeligt, at der navnlig for Chaebol er nogle minimumskrav for dette selskabs standarder, regnskab, normer og regnskabsår.
So it is in the Chinese government's interest to strengthen the confidence both of its own savers, that is, its own citizens, and foreign investors.
Men også her følger vi situationen på tæt hold, og det er særligt en af de følsomme sektorer, som vi koncentrerer vores undersøgelser om i øjeblikket.
As I said in my opening speech, it seems to me that there is one country in which confidence has not yet been re stored, and that is Indonesia.
Med hensyn til Deres analyse af situationen, så er det klart, at Kommissionen er rede til at deltage i alle opgaver.
For the rest, I looked at the markets again this morning and a large part of last year's fall in prices has been regained or stabilized.
Jeg kan navnlig fortælle Dem, at der i marts måned vil blive afholdt en konference i Verdensbanken med hen blik på at undersøge alle programmerne for teknisk bistand for netop at forbedre og følge de igangværende saneringsopgaver i de lande, man betegner som nødstedte.
The facts that have come in over the last 48 hours as regards the stock market and exchange markets are more encouraging and move more in the direction of those who think that we are now beginning to manage the crisis. For all that, I do not want to make ambitious plans.
Vi skal nemlig yde den indsats, der er nødvendig, og vi skal sørge for, at man med hensyn til fastlæggelsen af IMF's programmer tager mest muligt højde for denne menneskelige dimension.
President. - Mr Commissioner, we thank you for the an swers you have given to our colleagues' questions. The debate is now closed.
Dette skal i endnu højere grad være tilfældet i fremtiden, og de andre internationale in stitutioner skal naturligvis i lighed med Fællesskabet in tegrere denne dimension i forbindelse med disse programmer. grammer.
President. - The next item is a declaration from the Com mission on the compatibility of political mandate and the office of Commissioner.
Donnelly A (PSE). - (EN) Fru formand, det, der fremgår tydeligst her i eftermiddag, er, at Kommissionen i det store og hele er en uengageret observatør.
Donnelly A (PSE). - Madam President, the one thing that has come across this afternoon is how the Commission is largely a disinterested observer.
Kommissær de Silguys bidrag har været meget overfladisk. Jeg vil gerne . stille ham en række spørgsmål.
We have had a very cosmetic exercise by Commissioner de Silguy.I would like to ask him several questions.
Er der risiko for dumping i den europæiske økonomi som følge af devalueringen af disse valutaer i Det Fjerne Østen? Er bestemte industrier, f.eks. mikroelektronikindustrien eller mikrochipindustrien, truet?
Is there any risk of dumping in the European economy from the devaluation of these cur rencies in the Far East?
Har bestemte industrier henvendt sig til Kommissionen angående devalueringen?
Has there been any representation made to the Commission by any specific European industry about the devaluation?
Har Europa-Kommissionen henvendt sig til kineserne angående devalueringen af deres valuta, som startede denne krise?
Has the European Commission made any representation to the Chinese regarding the devaluation of their currency which sparked this crisis?
Er der risiko for yderligere devaluering?
Is there a risk of a further devaluation?
Nøjagtigt hvilke særlige forholdsregler træffer Europa-Kommissionen og Den Europæiske Union med henblik på at kunne reagere hurtigt, hvis der skulle opstå en dominoeffekt på de amerikanske markeder og især på de europæiske markeder?
Exactly what special arrangements are the European Commission and the Euro pean Union making to act quickly in the event of a domino effect in the US markets and indeed in the European markets?
de Silguy, medlem af Kommissionen. - (FR) Først vil jeg gerne sige til hr. Donnelly, at for det første har jeg ikke ind trykket af at være en observatør, og for det andet kan man heller ikke forlange at få indflydelse på tingenes gang, når man ikke har de institutionelle instrumenter, der er nødvendige til dette formål.
de Silguy, Member of the Commission. - (FR) Let me firstly say to Mr Donnelly that I do not consider myself an observer and secondly, you cannot hope to influence the course of events if you do not have the necessary institutional instruments with which to do so. Nevertheless, to respond precisely to your question, eight sectors seem, at first glance, more affected because they have referred the matter to us.
For at svare præcist på Deres spørgs-
They are those which our analyses have specified and which we are following more closely. These
Det er de sektorer, som vores analyser har identificeret, og som vi følger med særlig opmærksom hed.
Santer cluding but not only their own Member State of origin and now, of course, the candidates for accession.
Det drejer sig om beklædning, lædervarer, sko, radio og tv, kommunikationsudstyr, såsom GSM, ure, møbler, værkstøjsmaskiner, edb-udstyr og elektrisk udstyr. Hertil kunne man lægge teknisk udstyr, som for eksempel skibsværfterne, stålindustrien, den kemiske industri og bilindustrien.
You could moreover imagine that, in a Community extended to 21 Member States or even more, the work load of the Com missioners would be even greater, regardless of the size of the College.
Det bliver alligevel til mange sektorer, som kunne blive berørt på det ene eller det andet plan.
In conclusion, Madam President, I am of the opinion that the exercise of an elected mandate, even at local level, risks harming the independence and availability of our Commissioners.
Hr. Yves Thibault de Silguy har derefter offentliggjort sin beslutning om ikke at stille op til dette valg.
(Applause) tany. Since then, Mr Yves Thibault de Silguy has made public his decision not to stand in those elections.
Denne beslutning tjener ham til ære. Han vil nemlig således kunne hel lige al sin energi og alle sine kræfter de sidste etaper af euroens indførelse.
This de cision is all credit to him, and he will thus be able to de vote all his energies and all his strength to the final stages of the implementation of the euro.
Jeg minder om, at Kina har en yderst streng valutakontrol og en kontrol af sin valutas paritet.
Your Conference of Presidents has requested this, and I will therefore speak on the problem as a whole.
For det andet har de kinesiske myndigheder altid sagt, at de ikke ville devaluere.
Is there an incompatibility between the role of Member of the Commission and the exercise of a political mandate in a Member State?
En devaluering er ingen fordel for Kina, idet hovedparten af den kinesiske vækst skyldes investeringerne og ikke den interne efterspørgsel.
It seems that the benefit is two-fold, both for the Commission - which can thus be more attentive to any developments in opinion regarding the policies it is following - and for the European project, which the Com missioner can contribute to through explaining and de fending it in the place where he has a natural audience.
Det er således i den kinesiske regerings interesse at styrke både sine egne investorers tillid, det vil sige sine egne borgeres tillid, og de udenlandske investorers til lid.
The question that then arises is whether these political ties may be made concrete through an elected mandate.
Og det er ikke ved at devaluere, at man vinder deres til lid.
The situation is clear regarding responsibilities and national mandates.
Dernæst er der det politiske problem med Kinas placering i forhold til Japan i en geopolitisk sammenhæng, del tager sig sådan ud, at jeg ikke kan se, hvilken interesse Ja pan på kort eller mellemlangt sigt skulle have i at devaluere.
Article 157 of the Treaty states that Members of the Commission exercise their functions completely independently, in the overall interest of the Community, and the exercise of a political role at national level would clearly damage this independence and would give rise to situations of conflict of interest.
Der er ikke nogen særlig risiko for dette, men også her følger vi situationen på nært hold.
Regarding local mandates, the Commission has traditionally been more ambiguous.
Med hensyn til en dominoeffekt, så vil jeg ikke fremsætte nogen katastrofeteorier, da dette er meningsløst.
In my reply to a question raised by Mr Fernand Herman on 1 February 1995,1 re minded you of the traditional position of the Commission, according to which there was, in principle, no incompatibility between the role of a Member of the Commission and that of a local councillor.
Forhandlingerne med bankerne om en ratevis indfrielse af den private gæld er i gang.
Re garding independence, the Commission's fields of activity are so varied that the risk of a conflict of interests, at one time or another, in the case of the holding of several mandates concurrently, seems to me almost inherent to the task.
Jeg fortalte Dem i mit indledende indlæg, at det forekom mig, at der var et land, som endnu ikke havde fået til liden igen, nemlig Indonesien.
It is difficult to imagine a Commissioner with re sponsibility for fishing also being the Mayor of a fishing port, be it small or large.
Hvad resten angår, så kiggede jeg på markederne igen her til morgen, og en stor del af sidste års fald er nu aftaget eller har stabiliseret sig.
The reality of the way in which the College works therefore dictates that the risk of con flict is interpreted more widely, for the Commission is a collegiate body and as such all the Commissioners participate in the debates and the decisions to be taken, in all fields.
De oplysninger, som vi har om de sidste 48 timer med hensyn til børserne og valutamarkedet, er ret opmuntrende, og de peger nærmest i samme retning som dem, der mener, at vi i dag til en vis grad er i stand til at styre krisen.
Regarding availability, my concept of the role of Commissioner is that it is a full-time job.
Jeg vil dog ikke af den grund bygge luftkasteller.
I have enough ambition to hope that its members will use their mandate to the full, both in their relations with Parliament and the Council and in their contacts with our Member States, in
Formanden. - Hr. kommissær, vi takker Dem for de svar, som De har givet på kollegernes spørgsmål.
Green (PSE). - Madam President, on behalf of the So cialist Group, I would like to make a very clear political statement that in our view it is completely incompatible for a Member of the Commission to hold any party political post whichever part of the political spectrum a particular Commissioner may come from.
For handlingen om dette punkt er afsluttet.
That is our position.
Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er redegørelsen fra Kommissionen om forenelighed mellem ud øvelse af et politisk mandat og hvervet som medlem at Kommissionen.
We do not deny and fully understand that the Commission has an eminently political role.
Vi kan så undersøge problemet uden at skulle tage hensyn til nogen individuelle spørgsmål.
We believe however that it is entirely incompatible with the impartiality with which we expect Commissioners to carry out their functions that they should take part in party political campaigns for per sonal election.
Det var i øvrigt, hvad Deres Formandskonference ønskede, og jeg vil således tale om problematikken i sin helhed.
Since we requested this statement, the specific issue which caused all of us in this House great con cern has been solved.
Er der uforenelighed mellem hvervet som medlem af Kommissionen og ud øvelsen af et politisk mandat i en medlemsstat?
We welcome the fact that Commis sioner de Silguy has withdrawn as a potential candidate from the French regional elections.
Jeg vil gerne fjerne al uklarhed med det samme: Kommissærerne har fået et politisk mandat, og i den forbindelse forekom mer det mig at være vigtigt, at de ikke afskærer sig fra den politiske virkelighed, hvad enten denne er europæisk, national eller lokal.
We believe that it is entirely right and we hope that in so doing he has enabled the Commission to deal with this very sensitive and im portant issue once and for all.
Det er således helt naturligt, at kommissærerne bevarer ikke blot deres tilknytning til de politiske partier, men ligeledes tilknytningen til deres lokale rødder.
In that context I welcome very much President Santer's statement on behalf of the Commission today.
Jeg mener, at der er en dobbelt fordel ved dette, både for Kommissionen - som på denne måde bliver mere op mærksom på den ene eller den anden udvikling i den of fentlige mening med hensyn til de politikker, Kommissionen fører - og for den europæiske idé, som kommissæren kan bidrage til at forklare og forsvare dér, hvor han har en naturlig tilhørerkreds.
It demonstrates at least some ambiguity in the concept of independence which we all expect from the Commission that any Commissioner should have considered it possible to stand for election in this way.
Spørgsmålet er så, om denne politiske tilknytning kan tage form af et valgmandat.
I hope President Santer that you will use this incident to get complete agreement within the College of Commissioners.
Situationen er klar med hensyn til nationalt ansvar og nationale mandater.
We are looking for a code of conduct along the lines of your interpretation.
Det ville være i modstrid med traktaten både at være medlem af Kommissionen og medlem af en national regering eller et nationalt parlament.
Certainly the interpretation that you have expressed here today is com pletely in tune with the great majority of this House.
I artikel 157 i traktaten står der, at medlemmerne af Kommissionen udøver de res hverv i fuldkommen uafhængighed og i Fællesskabets almene interesse, og udøvelsen af et politisk hverv på nationalt plan ville helt klart gå ud over denne uafhængighed og give anledning til situationer med interessekonflikter.
I must say that in this Parliament we have learned an im portant lesson that perhaps we could have well done with when we had the public hearing before we ratified this Commission.
Med hensyn til de lokale mandater har Kommissionen traditionelt været mere nuanceret.
Certainly we have learned important lessons for the public hearing before the ratification of the next Commission.
Når det er sagt, så mener vi, at der er to parametre, som man skal tage hensyn til for at kunne afgøre en sådan situation in concreto.
We will all be asking very important questions of all Commissioners when they come before us for ratification next time around.
Først er der uafhængigheden, som har hjemmel i artikel 157, og hvortil jeg ville tilføje parameteret om at stå til rådighed.
We need to be absolutely sure that there is a commitment from them to ensure independence and impartiality in the performance of their work on behalf of European citizens.
Santer, formand for Kommissionen. - (FR) Fru formand, de damer og herrer parlamentsmedlemmer, jeg havde lo
In view of the with drawal of Mr de Silguy from potential candidature in the French regional elections and the statement by Mr Santer this afternoon, my group felt it important to say clearly that we have withdrawn the motion for a resolution which
Vi vil alle stille meget vigtige spørgsmål til alle kommissærerne, når de møder for os i forbindelse med næste godkendelse.
That is why, Mr Santer, your statement today about Commissioner de Silguy deciding not to participate in the French regional elections is good news for all of us who want the Commission to be consolidated as the future government of Europe.
Vi må være helt sikre på, at de forpligter sig til uafhængighed og upartisk hed i udførelsen af deres hverv på vegne af Europas bor gere.
we tabled and we give notice that we will not support any resolutions that come before the House tomorrow.
Vi sætter stor pris på Deres redegørelse, hr. Santer, og vi håber, at hele Kommissær kollegiet vil tilslutte sig den fortolkning, som De har præsenteret her i dag.
We very much value the statement you have made Mr Santer; we hope that there will be complete agreement from the College of Commissioners to the interpretation which you have put here today.
forestille sig en fiskerikommissær, der samtidig er borgmester for en større eller mindre havneby.
Pasty (UPE). - (FR) Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I totally approve of the terms of the declaration which the President of the Commission has just made.
Med hensyn til de res ståen til rådighed, så er min opfattelse af kommissærhvervet, at der er tale om et hverv på fuld tid.
I will thus limit myself to three brief observations and com ments.
Jeg har tilstrækkeligt med ambitioner på institutionens vegne til at ønske, at dens medlemmer udnytter deres man dat fuldt ud, såvel i forbindelserne med Parlamentet og Rå det som i deres kontakter med vores medlemsstater, herunder naturligvis også med ansøgerlandene, og ikke kun med det medlemsland, som de kommer fra.
My first observation: I would like to congratulate Mr de Silguy for his honourable decision not to stand in the local elections since, effectively, as President Santer has noted, no text formally obliges him to renounce this.
Man kunne i øvrigt forestille sig, at kommissærernes arbejdsbyrde ville være endnu større i et Fællesskab, der er udvidet til at omfatte 21 medlemmer eller endda flere, uafhængigt af Kollegiets størrelse.
Mr de Silguy has put his European responsibilities, and in particular the essential role he is currently playing in the implementation of the euro, before his political ambition.
Desuden er der i alle medlemsstaterne ved at blive en overvejende tendens til, at man ikke har flere mandater samtidig.
And I think we should pay special tribute to him for his behaviour.
Green (PSE). - (EN) Fru formand, på Den Socialdemokratiske Gruppes vegne vil jeg gerne komme med en me get konkret politisk erklæring, nemlig at det efter vores mening er komplet uforeneligt at være medlem af Kom missionen og samtidig beklæde en partipolitisk post, uanset hvilken del af det politiske spektrum den pågældende kommissær kommer fra.
Méndez de Vigo (PPE). - (ES) Mr President of the Com mission, the Treaty article you refer to talks about 'independence in the general interest of the Community', which seems to me to be a key issue.
Det er vores holdning. Hr. San ter fremførte i sin redegørelse, at kommissærerne har en politisk funktion, og heri er vi enige med ham.
In my group, the Group of the European People's Party, nobody questions Mr de Silguy's professional and political competence, or his honourableness.
Vi benægter ikke og forstår fuldt ud, at Kommissionen spiller en yderst politisk rolle.
Nor do we doubt the professional and political competence and honourableness of Mrs Cresson, who until very recently combined her position with an elected mandate.
Vi mener imidlertid, at det vil være fuldstændig uforeneligt med den upartiskhed, hvormed vi forventer, at kommissærerne udfører deres hverv, hvis de deltager i personlige, partipolitiske valgkampagner.
However, you should be able to say the same thing about a Commissioner as used to be said about Caesar's wife: not only should they be honest, but they should also be seen to be honest.
Siden vi anmodede om denne redegørelse, er det specifikke problem, der gav anledning til stor bekymring for alle her i Parlamentet, blevet løst.
So independence and a lack of conflict of interests is absolutely crucial when it comes to safeguarding the Commission's independence.
Vi mener, at det var den helt rigtige beslutning, og vi håber, at han med denne beslutning har givet Kommissionen mulighed for én gang for alle at behandle dette meget omtålelige og vigtige spørgsmål.
And we think great harm could be done by somebody casting doubt on some Commission decision because one or other of the Commissioners may have had some specific interest.
Han udtrykker med hensyn til den uafhængighed, som vi alle forventer af Kommissionen, i det mindste en vis tvivl om, hvorvidt en kommissær burde have anset det for muligt at opstille til et valg på denne måde.
At the moment, a supposed draft by the Agriculture Commis sioner, Mr Fischler, about the common organization of the market in olive oil has caused real social alarm, and also is not in the least bit consistent with Parliament's views.
Jeg håber, at De, hr. Santer, vil benytte denne anledning til at opnå fuld enighed i Kommissærkollegiet.
Can you imagine what would happen if, as well as being Commissioner, Mr Fischler was also the leader of the regional government of an oil-producing region?
I Det Europæiske Folkepartis Gruppe, som jeg tilhører, er ingen i tvivl om hr. de Silguys professionelle og politiske kompetence eller hans hæderlighed, ligesom vi heller ikke er tvivl om fru Cressons politiske og professionelle kompetence eller hæderlighed, da hun indtil videre har bestridt et valgmandat.
It is a step in the right direction for the European Union because the Commission is going to be able to continue being the guardian of the Treaties and defining the Community interest.
Men man må kunne sige om en kommissær, som man sagde om Cæsars kone, nemlig at hun ikke kun bør være ærlig, men også give udseende af at være det.
For those of us who believe the Commission's strength is growing all the time, and want that to happen, the decision you have an nounced to us today is also in the interests of the Commis sion itself because, due to the Commission's principle of shared responsibility, on a collegiate basis, doubts about the behaviour of any one Commissioner could besmirch the whole College.
Og derfor er uafhængighed og frihed for interessekonflikter absolut altafgørende, når Kommissionens uafhængighed skal sikres.
This is all the more so given that some people, previously, given the same choice, did not have the same attitude, nor the same honour.
Og vi finder det yderst skadeligt, hvis nogen kunne drage en kommissionsbeslutning i tvivl, fordi en bestemt kommissær havde særlige interesser.
The situation of another French Com missioner was earlier mentioned, who remained Mayor of Châtellerault, Councillor for the department of Vienne, which is extremely similar to that of the role of a regional councillor, a role which that Commissioner has just re signed from after a very short period of time.
Lad mig give Dem et eksempel fra mit eget land: I denne tid har et på stået udkast fra landbrugskommissær Fischler om den fælles markedsordning for olivenolie skabt virkelig social alarm, bl.a. fordi den ikke på nogen måde følger Parlamentets teser.
There is an other case, perhaps less well known, but which is even more worrying, which is that of your predecessor, Mr President of the Commission.
Kan De forestille Dem, hvad der ville ske, hvis hr. Fischler ud over at være kommissær også var præsident for en olieproducerende region? Revolution!
At a time when he was ex ercising the distinguished role which is today yours, he did not hesitate to head the list of candidates for the local elections of Clichy, which is an important town close to Paris, only to be elected Mayor.
Men det er altså det, som bør undgås.
But he was a candidate and he was heavily in volved in the electoral campaign, with all the power be stowed upon him through his role as President of the Commission.
Derfor glæder Det Europæiske Folkepartis Gruppe sig over Deres erklæring, hr. Santer, fordi den går i den rigtige retning.
I note that on this point I am in agreement with Mrs Green who considers that if Commissioners have the right to continue political activity, if they had it in the first place, they should not involve themselves too overtly in national and electoral campaigns.
Den går i den rigtige ret ning for Den Europæiske Union, fordi Kommissionen fortsat vil være traktaternes vogter og definere Fællesskabets interesser.
I note that, in fact, the behaviour I have just described is not in line with what we should expect. My third observation is that I am indeed happy that, following Mr de Silguy's gesture and this debate - although I would have liked to have had the same debate regarding the previous cases - we may now come up with a clear rule.
