Investeringsfriheden bliver imidlertid begrænset af' den kendsgerning, at spillereglerne ikke er ensartede.
In accordance with the slogan, 'Free passage for free capital', they want to siphon off maximum profits regardless of any other considerations.
Det er derfor logisk, al der stræbes efter hurtigst muligt at råde over el multilateralt system med ensartede regler for direkte investeringer.
They want national treatment, they want no fiscal disadvantages, either because a country wants to set its own priorities or because it wants to produce independently and protect its workers and its environment.
Udviklingen af den internationale økonomi og åbningen af nye markeder såsom telekommunikationsmarkedet far betydningen af en ordning til at øges.
All these barriers are to be abolished in the name of free trade, economic growth and globalization.
Det er af væsentlig betydning, at der er samme adgang til markedet for indenlandske og udenlandske investorer. Endvidere er del vigligt. at reglerne er ens. gennemsigtige og lydelige for enhver.
Not only in the industrial countries, but also, and especially, in the developing countries, in other words in those countries which had already, during the colonial era, been brought to economic ruin at the whim of their colonial masters.
Endelig er det vigtigt, at en procedure for bilæggelse af tvister er til rådighed. Del vigtigste er imidlertid, at de tekster, som indeholder de nævnte spilleregler, ikke giver nogen mulighed for protektionisme eller skjult protektionisme.
It is precisely for this reason that the European Union wants to forestall the OECD initiative that is due to be finalized in 1997, and to establish an even more comprehensive agreement within the WTO, thereby extending the powers of these completely nontransparent and undemocratic organizations, with serious consequences.
I udvalgsbehandlingen var der nogenlunde overensstemmelse om del mål. der skal nås. Desværre var der en meningsforskel om den vej. der bør følges for al nå delle mål.
And this, not from the point of view of human beings, but from the point of view of the unrestricted worldwide operation of the multinationals.
Novo (GUE/NGL). — (PT) Mine damer og herrer, hvis ændringsforslag nr. 3.
Novo (GUE/NGL). - (PT) Ladies and gentlemen, if Amend ments Nos 3.
5 og 6 til fru Randzio-Plaths betænkning blev vedtaget, ville betænkningens liberalistiske tendens blive mærkbart ændret, og der ville være grund til at nære nogle mindsteforventninger om indførelse af demokratiske regler for udenlandske investeringer og frie kapitalbevægelser.
5 and 6 to the Randzio-Plath report were approved, the liberal meaning of the same report would be markedly changed and minimal expectations raised for establishing democratic rules in terms of foreign investment and the movement of capital.
Jeg tvivler imidlertid stærkt på, at der kan opnås flertal i Parlamentet til støtte for stålernes, navnlig de økonomisk mindre udviklede staters ret til at føre deres egen økonomiske politik, som er uløseligt forbundet med udstedelsen af love og andre bestemmelser vedrørende udenlandske investeringer, sådan som det understreges i ændringsforslag nr. 3.
I still harbour many doubts that this House as a majority backs the right of states, especially the less economically developed states, to define their own policies aimed at adopting laws and other provisions relating to foreign investment, such as set out in Amendment No 3.1 also have my doubts that the European Parliament approves that the economically weaker contracting parties should not be submitted to the impositions of immediate liberalisation proposed, thereby allowing the strengthening of those economies, as proposed in Amendment No 5.
Endelig tvivler jeg meget stærkt på, at Parlamentet vil acceptere, at nationale og internationale finansielle institutioner pålægges en skat på spekulationstransaktioner. og at kapitalbevægelser kan gøres skattepligtige på nationalt plan, som det foreslås i ændringsforslag nr. 6.
Finally I have huge doubts that the European Parliament accepts that national and international financial institutions can create a tax on speculative transactions and accept the national control of capital movements, as proposed in Amendment No 6.
WTO råder ikke i øjeblikket over denne mulighed.
If the present proposal is adopted, then the gap between rich and poor will widen still further.
Udvalget om Eksterne Økonomiske Forbindelser har godkendt mine ændringsforslag med henblik herpå.
Harmonization is therefore nothing more or less than colonialization by other means.
I den nuværende lekst finder jeg imidlertid endnu en uklarhed, når jeg sammen ligner del. der siges i punkt 12. med del. der siges i punkt 15.
Of course we need rules by which to operate, but the kind of rules we need are not the kind that guarantee sustained profits for companies, but the kind that guarantee a sustained economy.
Jeg vi) gerne bede ordføreren om at give sin mening om den modsætning, som man kunne læse i disse tekster, og jeg vil gerne spørge hende og kommissæren om. hvilke rammer vi vil bruge: OECD-regi eller WTO-regi eller begge i rækkefølgen OECD-WTO?
Among those rules, and one of the most important of them, is the prevention of investments for purely speculative purposes.
Til sidst vil jeg takke fru Randzio-Plath for hendes vigtige arbejde, som er udført inden for rammerne af dette emne. og jeg ønsker Kommissionen held og lykke med sine aktiviteter med henblik på at nå frem lil regler i international sammen hæng.
A tax on speculative transactions, the so-called Tobin tax, accompanied by further measures, would be a suitable instrument for this purpose, and we have emphasized this point in our amendments.
De kræfter i Parlamentet, der har foreslået og godkendt fremskyndelsen af processen hen imod indførelse af den fælles valuta, og de. der ønsker at bruge store offentlige midler til rene og skære propagandakampagner til fordel for denne fælles valuta, vil ganske givet ikke være interesseret i at støtte ændringsforslag, som går ud på at hindre, at staternes beføjelser med hensyn til fastlæggelse af investeringspolitikker betragtes som anakronistiske og vil ganske givet heller ikke støtte ændringsforslag, som går ud på at hindre, at arbejdstagerne bliver betragtet som almindelige varer uden sociale og arbejdsmarkedsmæssige rettigheder.
Whoever has proposed and approved the speeding up of the process of entry into force of the single currency, whoever in this House is concerned with wasting rivers of public money on mere propaganda campaigns to defend the single currency will definitely not be interested in backing amendments that seek to prevent state authorities in this field from defining investment policies that are now considered out of date, and certainly will not back amendments that seek to prevent workers from being turned into mere merchandise, without social or labour rights.
De fremherskende ultraliberalistiske tendenser her i Parlamentet vil ikke kunne godtage sådanne ændringsforslag, ligesom de har meget svært ved at høre og endnu sværere ved at forstå de højlydte protester mod disse retningslinjer og følgerne heraf, som vi i de seneste dage har oplevet med de landsdækkende demonstrationer i Frankrig.
The ultra-liberal orientations which predominate in this House will definitely not allow such amendments and they have enormous difficulty in hearing or listening to the shout of protests against those same orientations and their consequences, which today and over recent days have made themselves felt throughout France.
Selv om vi som altid påskønner fru Randzio-Plaths arbejdsindsats, nærer vi intet håb om, at disse ændringsforslag vil blive vedtaget, og derfor ser vi ikke anden mulighed end at stemme imod den foreliggende betænkning og dermed symbolsk deltage i den enorme protestbølge, der ruller hen over Frankrig. rig.
Despite appreciating the usual high standards of work carried out by Mrs Randzio-Plath. we have no hope that these amendments will be accepted and therefore we see no alternative but to vote against the report in question and symbolically take the side of those whose great shout of protest is being heard throughout France at the moment.
De Clercq (ELDR). — (NL) Hr. formand, allerførst vil jeg gerne over for vor ordfører, fru Randzio-Plath. udtrykke min glæde over hendes betænkning.
Nußbaumer (NI). — (DE) Mr President, the volume of international trade has risen greatly, mainly in the last two decades, and has led to a tremendous increase in investment flows.
Kreissl-Dörfler (V). — (DE) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, hvorfor tager Europa-Kommissionen på dette tidspunkt et initiativ til international harmonisering af direkte investeringer for at gennemføre et internationalt gældende system af regler for behandling af kapital investeret i udlandet? Svaret ligger
Without the creation of harmonized and, in competition terms, neutral legal frameworks, there will be increased
Kreissl-Dörfler betragtning af frygten for udnyttelse af de udenlandske engagementer i form af misbrug.
Nußbaumer investment risks and uncertainties for companies that operate on an international scale.
Virksomheder arbejder internationalt, kapital vandrer på tiendedele af sekunder randt om jorden.
I do not believe that there is a contradiction between Amendments Nos 12 and 15.
Finanssektoren blæser kunstigt sig selv mere og mere op og foregøgler blomstring.
I agree with Mrs Randzio-Plath and will explain why that is so in a moment.
Investorerne ønsker sikkerhed.
Amendment No 9 has that effect and there is a great deal to be said for it.
En international aftale er imidlertid til enhver tid bedre end de nuværende ca. 600 bilaterale investeringsaftaler, der ikke blot er kendetegnet ved manglende iransparens, men som først og fremmest tjener protektionistiske formål.
However, this motion for worldwide harmonization of the provisions governing direct investments will come to nothing unless harmonization is also achieved in the area of competition policy, not only within the European Member States but also, and above all, in the member countries of the WTO.
Derfor skal dette initiativ ledsages af gennemførelse af aftalen om beskyttelse af intellektuel ejendomsret, international gennem førelse af konkurrencepolitikken, en sammenkædning al' ver denshandelsordenen og den internationale valutapoltik saml indførelse al' en mekanisme til bilæggelse af tvister, der også fastlægger den frie kapitalbevægelse.
Otherwise, there is a real danger of social and environmental dumping, increased protectionism and, with it, increasing concern on the part of working people, arising from, amongst other things, the fear of an abusive exploitation of commit ments abroad.
Efter mottoet »Fri hastighed for fri kapital« ønsker de hensynsløst at høste det størst mulige udbytte.
I am pleased that all-in-all you can approve the tenor and operational conclusions adopted by the Commission.
Ikke kun i industrilandene, men også og netop i udviklingslandene.
Of course, as Mr Pex pointed out, rules are needed, but non-protectionist rules.
Altså i de lande, der allerede i kolonitiden blev lagt i økonomisk ruin ene og alene på grund af' koloniherrernes skalten og välten.
This accompanying factor does nothing to alter the fact that companies must be able to proceed with their foreign invest ments in order, on the one hand, to remain competitive on the national market and, on the other hand, by increasing access to markets, to expand their business activities.
Netop af denne grund ønsker Den Europæiske Union at foregribe det initiativ fra OECD's side. der skal gennemføres i 1997, og lægge granden til en endnu mere omfattende aftale i WTO.
The passage of events has shown that the net effect of foreign direct investment is beneficial both to the countries from which it emanates and for those who receive it.
Dermed bliver disse fuldstændig uigennemsigtige og udemokratiske organisationers kompetence udvidet skæbne svangert.
But there have to be proper rules both to ensure that there is not abuse, but also to encourage the investment to take place.
Randzio-Plath (PSE). - (DE) Hr. formand, jeg vil ikke lade min kollega, hr. Pcx' spørgsmål stå ubesvaret.
Randzio-Plath (PSE). - (DE) Mr President, I should not like to leave Mr Pex's question unanswered.
Jeg ser ikke nogen modsætning mellem nr. 12 og nr. 15 og ville også være taknemmelig, hvis kommissæren ville tage dette op. fordi jeg mener, at drøftelserne inden for OECD kunne være en værdifuld forberedelse.
I do not see any conflict between Nos 12 and 15, and I should be grateful if the Commissioner would examine this question, because I believe that the consultations in the OECD area would be a valuable preparation.
Men de må ikke indeholde nogen foregribelse af WTO's posilion, fordi det under GATT-forhandlingerne efter min opfattelse har vist sig. hvor uheldigt det kan være. og hvor meget forhandlingerne kan blive vanskeliggjort, hvis udviklingslandene først bliver inddraget i forhandlingerne i sidsle minut, især når det drejer sig om meget vigtige udviklingslande, der har spille! en rolle i denne forbindelse.
However, they should not anticipate the position of the WTO, because in my opinion it has been shown, in the context of the GATT negotiations, just how carelessly this can be done, and how much it may make the conducting of the negotiations more difficult, if developing countries are not involved in the negotiations until the last minute, especially in the case of the very important developing countries that have played a role in this connection.
Indkomstfordeling, sociale og økologiske betænkeligheder blæses der på med det foreliggende initiativ.
Mr De Clercq, Mr Kreissl-Dörfler and Mr Nußbaumer all put emphasis on the importance of the parallel development of multilateral environmental, social and competition rules governing international trade.
Allerede på nuværende tidspunkt ejer f.eks. 5,5% af befolkningen i For bundsrepublikken 30,5% af den faste ejendom.
I agree: rules for foreign direct investment cannot be seen in isolation from the other new WTO issues.
Også SPD, der traditionelt varetager arbejdstagernes sag. har klart nok trukket sig ud af kampen om omfordeling af kapital oppefra og nedefter og satser tilsyneladende kun på trylleordet »globalisering«. Men mens handelen vokser, stiger arbejdsløsheden og dermed fattigdommen i alle lande dramatisk.
With regard to foreign direct investment, I have for long supported the idea of having a code of conduct for the behaviour of multinational enterprises which are active abroad, quite apart from any specific multilateral agreements covering such matters.
1 øvrigt deler ikke blot jeg personligt, men alle medlemmer af Udvalgel om Eksterne Økonomiske Forbindelser egentlig hr. Kreissl-Dörflers opfattelse, nemlig at der ikke må opstå nye skel i verden, men al der tværtimod på europæisk eller internationalt plan skal etableres og udvikles en overordnet statslig ramme, der ikke længere er mulig på nationall niveau.
Quite apart from my personal views, all the members of the Committee on External Economic Relations share Mr Kreissl-Dörfler's concern, namely that no new disparities must be allowed to arise in the world, and that, on the contrary, a state regulatory framework, which is no longer possible at national level, must be created and established at European or international level.
Jeg mener, at det er svaret på den globalisering, som vi som Europa-Parlamenl må forholde os til ikke blot formell, men på en måde. der — ligesom på andre områder — bidrager til at skabe velstand og beskæftigelse.
I think that that is the answer to globalization, a question to which we, as the European Parliament, must find an answer which is not merely a formality but which, as in other areas, contributes towards creating prosperity and employment.
Jeg ville gerne kunne komme ind på alle de punkler. der er blevet rejst, men jeg håber, at man tilgiver, at jeg ikke går så vidt som til at kommeniere ejendomsret i Tyskland eller sociale retligheder i Frankrig.
I also fully share the conviction that we should develop multilateral investment rules in associating as closely as possible the developing countries and our partners in Central and Eastern Europe and the CIS as well as other non-OECD members.
Jeg vil dog gerne takke Parlamentets Udvalg om Eksterne Økonomiske Forbin delser og ordføreren for den fremragende betænkning, vi er ved al behandle.
Mrs Randzio-Plath pointed out very clearly that there has been a change in the pattern of investment and it is in those countries that most investment is taking place.
Udviklingslandene får frataget enhver mulighed for selv at bestemme over deres udvikling.
Free investment flows will benefit development and the restructuring of economies.
Intet land vil længere kunne beskytte sig mod udsalg. Harmoniseringen bliver dermed ikke andet end kolonialisering med andre midler.
I do not believe in the light of the emerging global economy that we can justify drawing up FDI rules for only a small number of countries.
Nußbaumer (NI). — (DE) Hr. formand, den internationale handel er især i de sidste to årtier steget kraftigt og har ført til en voldsom stigning i investeringsstrømmene.
Brittan, Sir Leon, Vice-President of the Commission. — Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, this has been a wide-ranging and important debate.
Hvis der ikke skabes el harmoniseret og konkurrenceneutralt system af regler, vil der for internationalt opererende virksomheders vedkommende blive tale om forøgede investeringsrisici og usikkerhed.
I would like to cover most of the points that have been raised, but I hope I will be forgiven for not going as far as to comment on property rights in Germany or social rights in France.
Jeg er ikke enig med hr. Falconer i. al Parlamentet ikke skal arbejde med vores meddelelse som udgangspunkt.
I do not agree with Mr Falconer that Parliament should not work on the basis of our communication.
Med hensyn lil de øvrige ændringsforslag vil jeg blot sige. al hr. Nussbaumer henviste til vigligheden af al beskylle den intellektuelle ejendomsret. Det sikres gennem ændringsforslag 9. og mange ling taler for dette.
If you believe in the transparency of what is being done, it is perfectly reasonable that the Commission should express its views in a communication, that it should enter into a dialogue with Parliament and
Ellers er der reel risiko for social- og miljødumping, forstærket protektionisme og dermed øget bekymring hos de arbejdende borgere, også i
The question essentially, therefore, is not even so much about what the content of such an international agreement should be. but how we go about attaining it.
Jeg er meget glad for. al udvalget deler Kommissionens overbevisning om. at fastlæggelsen af forsvarlige regler for
So let me outline the Commission's strategy on how to proceed on handling this issue in the light of the
Sir Leon Brittan direkte internationale investeringereret af de vigtigste punkter på den flersidede dagsorden.
Brittan, Sir Leon growing consensus as to its importance and the general objectives we should attain.
Jeg glæder mig over. at De i det store og hele kan acceptere de principper og operationelle konklusioner, som Kommissionen har vedtaget.
I think Mr van Velzen was entirely right — and it was only fair to do so — to point out the achievements so far, which have been considerable.
Hr. van Velzen kom med en glimrende beskrivelse af vildfarelserne vedrørende de negative følger af direkte internationale investeringer.
Secondly, we are currently seeking support in the WTO for the idea of starting discussions in the WTO through the setting-up of an informal working group.
Selvfølgelig er der brug for regler, som hr. Pex påpegede, men det skal være ikke-protektionisti-ske regler.
The first reactions that we have had from our WTO partners are promising.
Ministerrådet accepterede som sin første reaktion på vores meddelelse den 10. april 1995 vores to-trinsstrategi, som går ud på at indlede forhandlinger inden for OECD og samtidig gøde jorden for fremtidige forhandlinger inden for Verdens handelsorganisationen.
The Council of Ministers, in an initial reaction to our communication on 10 April 1995, has adopted our two-tack strategy which is to start negotiations in OECD and at the same time prepare the ground for future negotiations in the World Trade Organization.
Hvorfor er det den rigtige fremgangsmåde?
Why is this the right approach?
Ja, det er det rigtige at indlede forhandlinger i OECD, fordi der allerede er gjort et stort stykke arbejde der, og OECD er parat til at tage dette skridt — er faktisk allerede gået i gang og besidder en betydelig erfaring på området.
Well, it is right to start negotiations in OECD because so much work has already been done there and OECD is ready to get to that point — has, indeed, got to it already and has considerable expertise.
Hvorfor er det så samtidig rigtigt at forberede fremtidige forhandlinger inden for WTO?
Why is it right, therefore, at the same time to prepare the ground for future negotiations in the WTO?
Der bliver stadig større enighed om dette spørgsmål, for på et tidspunkt var man i de udviklede lande bange for. at investeringer i udlandet ville betyde tab af'arbejdspladser i deres egne lande, og der var også en følelse i de udviklede lande af. at direkte internationale investeringer kunne være mere lil skade end til gavn.
I am therefore confident that we shall, within a reasonable time frame, arrive at what motivated the Commission's communication in the first place — strong, truly multilateral rules for investment world-wide, which will encourage and facilitate investment while at the same time involving the active participation of those who may have concerns about unfettered investment and who may wish — understandably so — the other factors that have been referred to in the debate to be taken into account.
De to argumenter var naturligvis modstridende og var mere udtryk for mistro og frygt end for virkeligheden.
I believe that that is a balanced approach and I am grateful for the broad support that Parliament has given it.
Forskellige begivenheder har vist. at nettovirkningen af direkte internationale investeringer er positiv både for de lande, hvor investeringerne stammer fra. og de lande, der modtager investeringerne.
Falconer (PSE). — Mr President, on a point of order. The Commissioner has told us how the Commission is going to conduct its negotiations within the WTO, but he has not told us his reply to paragraph 19, which calls for that negotiating mandate to come to the appropriate REX committee, which I referred to when I spoke earlier.
Men der er behov for faste regler, både for at sikre, at der ikke sker misbrug, men også for al tilskynde investorerne til at investere.
Can the Commission assure the House that prior to any agreement being reached, it will bring the agreement in its finality to the committee?
Del er i virkeligheden det. der er tale om.
What steps is he going to take to negotiate with Parliament?
Årsagen er meget enkel: fordi vi må erkende, at verden har ændret sig i og med oprettelsen af Verdenshandelsorganisationen.
The reason is very simple: because we have to appreciate that the world has changed through the creation of the World Trade Organization.
Vi hverken kan eller skal længere forvente, at udviklingslandene blot venter på. at OECD udtaler sig, og derefter siger »mange tak, vi skal nok gøre, som I siger«.
We no longer can or should expect developing countries simply to wait for OECD to pronounce and then to say 'thank you, now we will do what we are told'.
Sådan ser verden ikke ud længere, og det er heller ikke negativt.
That is no longer the position in today's world, and it is no bad thing either.
