Subject: Proposed abolition of dutyfree concessions in 1999 there is no evidence of an emerging consensus within ECOFIN for any reconsideration of the decision taken unanimously in 1991.
Jeg vil gerne have kommissæren til at bekræfte, at denne opfyldelse ikke er tilstrækkelig.
Is the Commission aware that the proposed abolition of dutyfree sales in 1999 is estimated to result in the loss of 9 000 jobs in Kent in the United Kingdom, and a total loss of 140 000 jobs across the EU?
Simpson (PSE). - (EN) Som tillægsspørgsmål vil jeg gerne spørge kommissæren, om det, han siger, dybest set er, at Kommissionen ikke vil gøre noget som helst, hvis Star Alliance begynder at forringe arbejdsvilkårene og -kontrakterne inden for denne særlige alliance?
In the light of these independent forecasts, will it at least agree to a full study being carried out urgently to examine the social and economic impact that ending dutyfree would cause?
Jeg er især urolig for de fjernøstlige medlemmer af Star Alliance, som synes at have dårligere lønog tjenestetidsvilkår end deres partnere i EU.
Could it also elaborate on its proposals to cushion the impact of abolition?
Flynn. - (EN) På nuværende tidspunkt omfatter Star Al liance kun fællesskab i relation til ordningerne for hyppige flyrejsende - det ved De formentlig - det vil sige fælles brug af opholdsrum, indcheckningsfaciliteter og en bedre koordinering af flyveplanerne.
In relation to the other two points, I can say that if we compare the solution and the problems sometimes aired by the categories concerned to the solutions provided for other professions affected by internal market legislation, customs freight forwarders, for example, did receive funds for reconversion of about ECU 30 million.
Aftalen er ikke bindende, og under alle omstændigheder falder den ikke ind under forordning nr. 397/87, der finder anvendelse på internati onal transport uden for EU.
A seven year period allowing for an annual turnover of about ECU 6.5 billion does not appear, if I may say so, to be disadvantageous treatment.
Flynn. - (EN) Jeg tror, at det må understreges, at forskel lige direktiver undertiden har forskellige mål.
Monti, Member of the Commission. - (IT) In recent months, I have set out the Commission's position on dutyfree sales within the Community on numerous occasions.
Med andre ord skal man være meget forsigtig med at analysere sammenhængen for det særlige direktiv, der er tale om.
In particular, I was able to explain this position at the public hearing held on 27 October 1997 and at the sit ting in November 1997.
Vi kan ikke træffe en beslutning, før vi har alle de tilgængelige oplysninger vedrørende gennemførelsen.
Today, I am taking the opportunity given to me by Mr Watts to confirm that the position has not changed.
Da spørgeren ikke er til stede, bortfalder spørgsmål nr. 56.
The deadline agreed back in 1991 by the Council for all those involved in the dutyfree sales sector to adapt to the requirements of the single market was an exceptional measure.
Spørgsmål nr. 57 af Bernd Posselt (H-0319/98):
Ladies and gentlemen, it is now 7.00 p.m., the time at which Question Time was supposed to finish.
Da spørgeren ikke er til stede, bortfalder spørgsmål nr. 54.
However, in view of the fact that we lost several minutes on points of order, I have asked Parliament's services if they would be kind enough to allow us to extend Question Time by ten minutes.
Om: Styrkelse af familien .
So we will finish at 7.10 p.m..
Spørgsmål nr. 55 af Brian Simpson (H-0296/98):
Mr Monti, I have two supplementary questions on the question we have just heard.
Er den nye Star Alliance inden for luftfartssektoren omfattet af direktiverne om europæiske samarbejdsudvalg? udvalg?
Watts (PSE). -1 thank the Commissioner for his answer, but unfortunately he did not address the particular point regarding the proposals to ameliorate the impact of abolition which he put to the public hearing that he earlier re ferred to earlier. Perhaps he could answer that particular point.
Hvilke foranstaltninger foreslår Kommissionen i lyset af EU's seneste demografiske rapport og de deri inde holdte alarmerende kendsgerninger med henblik på at styrke familien som fundament for enhver effektiv socialpolitik?
Corbett (PSE). - Does the Commissioner agree that a study might be useful for a purpose other than that for which many have been asking it for, namely, to reassure the public that some of the wilder claims of job losses that will result from the loss of dutyfree are in fact perhaps an exaggeration? A study would certainly help to clarify that.
Mener den, at den får tilstrækkelig støtte fra Rådet og medlemsstaterne i dette forehavende?
A study might also identity the areas of specific problems that the Commissioner mentioned in his answer to the previous question.
I benægtende fald, hvorfor ikke?
That would be particularly helpful.
Flynn, medlem af Kommissionen. - (EN) Kommissionen er bekendt med de aktuelle demografiske tendenser, og hvad de antyder i relation til ændringer i familiestrukturerne.
Thirdly, on the study, would Mr Monti confirm that, if ECOFIN vote for a study in May, as is possible and I think likely, he will enthusiastically implement that deci sion.
Nogle eller alle de selskaber, der er medlemmer af denne alliance, kan godt enkeltvis falde ind under direktivet om europæiske samarbejdsudvalg, hvis de opfylder de relevante krav.
Monti. - If I can start with the last point, I have every rea son to expect that the ECOFIN Council will not ask for the Commission to conduct a study.
Hvis dette er tilfældet, er det op til det enkelte selskab og dets ansatte at udvikle de informations- og konsultationsmekanismer, der er fastsat for dem heri.
As a matter of fact, the issue did come up at the ECOFIN Council on two occasions, in November 1996 and again in March 1998, and as the President-in-Office of the ECOFIN Council, Mr Gordon Brown, said publicly on a recent occasion,
Det næste møde vil finde sted den 16. og 17. april.
Monti. - A study would be counterproductive.
Et europæisk net værk om familie i arbejde, der blev etableret af Kommissionen i 1994, har også beskæftiget sig med at fremme familievenlige beskæftigelsespolitikker.
I believe this very sincerely because it might well give false expectations and delay further the adjustments that might well be needed.
Nyskabende projekter, undersøgelser og netværk i relation til familie venlige politikker har modtaget støtte fra strukturfondene,
In fact, a very long period was given for ad justments, and it would be rather paradoxical and counter productive if, when less than 15 months are left to the date
Flynn fortrinsvis under NOW-initiativet og fra handlingsprogrammerne vedrørende lige muligheder.
Monti of low cost airlines by 2003, a reduction of 5 million in expected passenger levels, as well as massive job losses.
Med hr. Posselts spørgsmål har vi opbrugt den tid, der var afsat til denne blok af spørgsmål.
of expiry of dutyfree on intra-Eu travel, we were to en gage in a study.
Samtidig anerkendes det klart, at dette må ledsages af familievenlige politikker, der kan forene arbejde med familieliv, og politikker, der letter tilbagevenden til lønarbejde efter fra vær.
It is regressive because the ordinary taxpayer is normally less well-off than those benefit ing from dutyfree purchases; and, to a large extent, it sus tains artificially and in a non-transparent manner the con sumption of alcohol and tobacco.
Er Kommissionen klar over, at den foreslåede afskaffelse af det afgiftsfrie salg i 1999 skønnes at ville med føre, at 9 000 arbejdspladser går tabt i Kent i Det For enede Kongerige, og at i alt 140 000 arbejdspladser vil gå tabt i hele EU?
McMahon (PSE). - In view of his last answer, would the Commissioner close down the dutyfree shop in the Com mission for Commission staff such as himself?
Vil den på baggrund af disse uafhængige skøn i det mindste være rede til hurtigt at gennemføre en under søgelse af de sociale og økonomiske konsekvenser af afskaffelsen af det afgiftsfrie salg?
Seriously though, my question is: what confidence will European citizens have in the Commission, given that Commissioner Scrivener promised away back in 1991 to carry out a study?
Vil den ligeledes være rede til at redegøre for, hvad den agter at foreslå for at mindske følgerne af afskaffelsen?
As the Commission has reneged on its promise, what confidence is this going to give the European Union in the Commission's honesty, integrity and determination to listen to elected representatives of the European population? lation?
Jeg vil gerne henvise især til 1992-direktivet om gravide arbejdstagere, 1996- direktivet om forældreorlov og 1997-direktivet om deltidsarbejde.
In any case, the tax benefit deriving from these sales is relatively small if it is compared with other data.
De er de væsentligste elementer af de lovgivningsmæssige rammer, som søger at forene familie- og arbejdsliv, der er skabt på europæisk plan.
One as pect that should be pointed out, in fact, is that air passenger transport has seen an increase of around 7 % and this increase certainly cannot be attributed to dutyfree sales, but to other causes such as the liberalization of air trans port as from 1 April 1997.
Parlamentet har været særlig hjælpsom med dets op retholdelse af budgetpost B3-4108, det vil sige foranstaltninger til fordel for familie og børn.
It is therefore presumed that this increase in passenger transport will continue and may give rise to broad compensation after the abolition of dutyfree sales.
Selvom denne budgetpost er ret beskeden, gør den det muligt for Kommissionen at samfinansiere fremme af familievenlig praksis og foranstaltninger såvel som komparative undersøgelser blandt medlemsstaterne.
In other words, we want to have and we have got the benefits of the creation of a single market and, in this case, that of air transport, and it is difficult to try and gain the benefits of the single market and maintain archaic structures, which are totally incompatible with the single market, as are dutyfree sales.
Inden for budgetposten foretager Kommissionen demografiske forskningsanalyser såsom den demografiske rapport, som gør det muligt for os at forbinde demografisk udvikling med forandringer i familiemønstrene. liemønstrene.
We also need to bear in mind that, at the moment, air transport benefits from an extremely favourable tax system, in terms of which the dutyfree benefits are marginal.
Monti, medlem af Kommissionen. — (IT) I de senere må neder har jeg ved talrige lejligheder haft mulighed for at udtrykke Kommissionens holdning til spørgsmål om told frit salg internt i Fællesskabet.
Monti. - I understand Mr McMahon's question but I would submit to you that the Commission and the Coun cil, following the Commission proposal in 1991, gave much more than a study.
Jeg har navnlig præciseret denne holdning under den offentlige høring den 29. oktober 1997 og under mødeperioden i november 1997.
It gave a more than seven-year adjustment period, something particularly long in terms of any adjustment.
Jeg skal derfor i dag benytte den lejlighed, som hr. Watts' spørgsmål giver mig, til at bekræfte, at denne holdning ikke har ændret sig siden.
I hardly dare touch on the subject of the confidence of European citizens in the Commission but I am sure that European citizens would hardly in crease their confidence in a Commission that was to pro pose the continuation of a sort of hidden regressive sub sidy at the expense of the general taxpayers in Europe go ing to a large extent into subsidizing forms of consumption that Community policies, if anything, tend to discourage.
Den frist, som Rådet i 1991 fastsatte for at give alle operatører inden for den toldfrie sektor lejlighed til at tilpasse sig det indre markeds krav udgjorde en undtagelsesforanstaltning.
In fact, total VAT exemption applies to all aircraft and the relevant equipment and intraCommunity passenger transport is not yet taxed; moreover, supplies on board are currently taxfree and, unlike other means of transport, aircraft fuel and kerosene are not subject to either VAT or excise.
Denne enstemmige afgørelse tog hensyn til de bekymringer af økonomisk art, som en række medlemmer på dét tidspunkt gav udtryk for.
To conclude on this point, the Commission is aware of the fact that air transport is the means of trans port which is growing fastest, and in which dutyfree sales play a very marginal role.
Dette er altså situationen, og Kommissionen har endvidere klart sagt, at den ikke har til hensigt at iværksætte en undersøgelse af de samfundsøkonomiske virkninger af ophøret af den overgangsordning, som Rådet gav tilladelse til, og den har dermed understreget den definitive karakter af Rådets afgørelse.
Any restructuring of the sector should therefore be considered within the framework of the strategies for achieving ever greater efficiency and profits and not just as a result of dutyfree sales.
De talte navnlig om erhvervsaktive kvinder.
Subject: Abolition of dutyfree sales in 1999
Watts (PSE). - (EN) Jeg takker kommissæren for hans svar, men desværre kom han ikke ind på det særlige punkt vedrørende forslagene om at mindske følgerne af afskaffelsen, som han forelagde for den offentlige høring, han refererede til tidligere. Måske ville han komme med et svar til dette særlige punkt.
Mr Michel Vanden Abeele, the Director-General of DG XXI recently commented, in a letter to one of my constituents, that the Commission's policy of liberalization within the single market had promoted the in creased competition that low cost carriers bring to the market.
Det gøres for det meste af nationale myndigheder, men der foregår en vis samordning af det, de gør og det, vi gør på kommissionsplan.
Today, I have to tell you, Commissioner, that I find you are totally out of touch with people.
Måske er der behov for at gå lidt videre med de punkter, De har anført.
In your an swer to me you say that the fiscal advantage to the air traveller will be very small.
Stena-selskabet og foreslå, hvilke særlige ansatte de skal afskedige, og hvilke skibe de skal tage ud af sejlads.
Respecting your request, I understand that the Commission is undertaking a report on commercial and retail ac tivities in US airports.
Det ville være særdeles hjælpsomt.
Will you there fore make available to us the study done about the US air ports?
En undersøgelse kunne også pege på de områder med særlige problemer, som kommissæren nævnte i sit svar på det foregående spørgsmål.
Could you please define these measures, pro vide an estimate of the total cost of them, specify how they could be applied and outline the criteria for the allocation of these yet undefined measures?
Og for det tredje, vil hr. Monty mon, hvad undersøgelsen angår, bekræfte, om han, hvis ØKOFIN stemmer for en undersøgelse i maj, som det er muligt og - tror jeg - sand synligt, at det gør, entusiastisk vil implementere denne beslutning.
After what Mary O'Rourke our Transport Minister has achieved in the Transport Council, you should be more optimistic about the outcome of the Ecofin meeting. With the pressure on the various Member States from ordinary citizens, the Commission will just have to concede that a study will have to be done in this case.
Rent faktisk er dette spørgsmål ble vet drøftet ved to møder i ØKOFIN-Rådet, nemlig i no vember 1996 og igen i marts 1998, og som formanden for ØKOFIN-Rådet, Gordon Brown, offentligt udtalte for ny lig, er der ikke tegn på, at der er ved at fremkomme en samstemmende opfattelse i ØKOFIN om, at den afgørelse, der blev enstemmigt truffet i 1991, bør tages op til for nyet overvejelse.
Of course it holds a view that is different from that maintained by the dutyfree lobbies but there are, of course, numerous positions taken re cently by - may I say - broader representative institutions and the last one I have here is that of
Monti. - (EN) En undersøgelse ville virke imod hensigten.
(FR) COFACE, the Confederation of Family Organizations in the European Communities, notes that the current system is of virtually no interest for consumers.
Det er jeg meget overbevist om, eftersom den kunne give falske forhåbninger og yderligere udsætte den om stilling, der måtte være behov for.
Only a small percentage of consumers have the possibility of regularly buying from dutyfree stores.
Det er op til medlemsstaterne at angive over for Kommissionen, om de finder, at der på grundlag af under søgelser eller andre elementer, som de måtte være i besiddelse af, er behov for en særlig intervention.
Furthermore, with the exception possibly of tobacco products, the advan tages in price terms are often only apparent, as the com petitive advantages of exemption are not always passed on to the final consumer.
Hvad de to andre punkter angår, kan jeg sige, at hvis vi sammenligner løsningen og de problemer, der undertiden luftes af de berørte kategorier, med de løsninger, der er fundet for andre erhverv berørt af lovgivningen om det in dre marked, såsom speditører, så har de modtaget omstillingsstøtte til et beløb af omkring ECU 30 millioner.
(EN) And to the extent that the present dutyfree system contains an element of subsidy that enables transport fares to be lower than they would be otherwise, that is the best proof that the present dutyfree system implies a sub sidy which is hidden and regressive, as I hinted.
Den er skjult, fordi den påduttes den almindelige skatteyder, der knap nok er klar over, at han støtter andres toldfri forbrug.
We can look at those without any particular studies because they do open up encouraging possibilities for the former dutyfree industry in Europe.
Den er degressiv, fordi den almindelige skatteyder normalt ikke er så rig som dem, der nyder godt af toldfri køb.
Re search by consumer organisations has confirmed that the dutyfree prices for many goods are no more advantageous than in other shops.
Og endelig har jeg gentagne gange udtalt, at, medens Kommissionen helt bestemt ikke har i sinde at foreslå Rådet at tage afgørelsen fra 1991 op til fornyet overvejelse, hvis der skulle vise sig at opstå påviselige og særlige pro blemer i visse regioner eller på visse transportruter, der er forbundet med afskaffelsen af det toldfrie salg, så vil det derimod være muligt for medlemsstater i fuld åbenhed at overveje former for statsstøtte, som naturligvis vil skulle foreslås af medlemsstaterne og være i overensstemmelse med fællesskabsnormerne.
When we are working hard, with the support of this Parliament, to try and eliminate tax havens around Europe and promote employment, it would be illogical for me to crusade against tax havens and at the same time propose -or even consider - the continuation of localised tax havens connected with particular forms of transportation within the single market.
McMahon (PSE). - (EN) Vil kommissæren med henblik på hans sidste svar lukke den toldfrie forretning i Kom missionen for kommissionspersonale som ham selv?
Since the time allocated to questions to the Commission has now expired, Questions Nos 65 to 106 will be dealt with in writing. (')
Helt alvorligt er mit spørgsmål følgende: Hvilken tillid vil de europæiske borgere have til Kommissionen, når man be tænker, at kommissær Scrivener tilbage i 1991 lovede at lade foretage en undersøgelse?
In the case of transportation, as my colleague, Commissioner Kinnock, recently stated in response to one of the many letters on this point, no Member State subsidy in the form of continued taxfree sales would be possible.
Monti. - (EN) Jeg forstår godt hr. McMahons spørgsmål, men jeg vil fortælle Dem, at Kommissionen og Rådet ef ter kommissionsforslaget i 1991 gav meget mere end en undersøgelse. Den gav en mere end syvårig omstillingsperiode, hvilket er særdeles lang tid til omstilling.
Hardstaff (PSE). -1 would ask you if you could look into the procedure by which the questions are put into the or der they are on the order paper.
Corbétt (PSE). - (EN) Er kommissæren enig i, at en undersøgelse kunne være nyttig med henblik på et andet for mål end det, der ligger til grund for mange af anmodningerne herom, nemlig når det gælder om at berolige offentligheden om, at nogle af de mere vilde påstande om tab af arbejdspladser, der vil følge af afskaffelsen af det toldfri salg, måske rent faktisk er en overdrivelse? En undersø
Banotti (PPE). - Commissioner, it appears that you have set your face against the retention of dutyfree sales.
Monti slags skjult, degressiv støtte på bekostning af de almindelige skatteydere i Europa, der i høj grad går til at støtte forbrug, som fællesskabspolitikkerne, om noget, forsøger at begrænse.
Hardstaff quite a lot'of resentment among Members on this issue and I would ask that this be sorted out, so that questions appear in the order in which they are submitted and there is some fairness.
ten er den transportform, hvor væksten er højest, hvorfor det toldfrie salg spiller en meget marginal rolle.
mission has submitted proposals which reduce the extent and amount of subsidies, albeit a moderate reduction.
Formanden. - Spørgsmål nr. 64 af Bernie Malone (H0228/98):
To that extent, this is a reaction to the progress sought in pro ductivity.
Om: Afskaffelse af toldfrit salg i 1999
Thank you very much indeed.
Malone (PSE). - (EN) Jeg beskyldte kommissæren for at være genstridig og arrogant ved den offentlige høring, som Parlamentet afholdt.
President. - Mrs Hardstaff, I will make sure your com ment is taken into consideration.
I dag må jeg fortælle Dem, kommissær, at jeg finder, at De er fuldstændig ude af føling med folk.
However, I can tell you now that the first five questions are chosen by the President of Parliament, with priority being given to those con sidered to be most important.
I Deres svar til mig siger De, at den skatte mæssige fordel for den flyrejsende vil være meget lille.
In other words, the choice is of a discretional nature.
En undersøgelse udarbejdet i Irland for ganske nylig og udgivet i går af SIPTU, der er en faglig organisation, og IBEC, der repræsenterer erhvervsinteresser, viser ret så klart, at en flybillet vil blive mellem 15 og 17£ dyrere for en gennemsnitsrejsende.
The remaining questions should follow in order, as long as they relate to the specific Com missioners due to attend Question Time.
Det er mange penge for almindelige mennesker.
In any case, Mrs Hardstaff, I will give your comment some thought and let you know in due course.
I det samme brev, som jeg modtog fra min vælger, siger Deres kontor, at der er en lang række foranstaltninger, som Kommissionen råder over til at behandle en eventuel trussel mod beskæftigelsen.
It is not an honour for any Objective 1 region to be labelled as underdeveloped, but more help and some regulations are still needed in order to extricate ourselves from this situation.
Kunne De mon definere disse foranstaltninger, give erskøn over de samlede udgifter forbundet hermed, præcisere, hvordan de kunne anvendes og skitsere kriterierne for tildeling af disse endnu udefinerede foranstaltninger?
In this respect, I consider the proposal which has been submitted to be a good one.
Efter det, vores transportminister, Mary O'Rourke, har opnået i transportministerrådet, burde De være mere optimistisk med hensyn til resultatet af ØKOFIN-mødet.
All Members should examine critically the amendments tabled by the commit tees and other Members.
Med det pres, der hviler på medlemsstaterne fra almindelige borgere, må Kommissionen simpelt hen gå med til, at der bliver foretaget en undersøgelse i dette tilfælde.
I nevertheless request that some consideration be given to the fact that our East German shipbuilding industry still has difficulties, and my col league, Garcia Arias, will certainly also bring up the sub ject of Spanish industry.
Monti, medlem af Kommissionen. - (IT) Udviklingen i lufttransportsektoren har utvivlsomt fremmet udviklingen af lavprisflyvninger, der i lighed med de øvrige flyvninger vil kunne mærke ophøret af de toldfrie lettelser fra den 1. juli 1999.
President. - The next item is the continuation of the re port (A4-0101/98) by Mr Sindal, on aid to shipbuilding and a new policy on shipbuilding.
