Wolf (V). — (DE) Hr. formand, jeg tillader mig den bemærkning, at ved en fuldstændig privatisering ville brevet muligvis slet ikke være kommet frem.
Similarly, with regard to human resources it seems axiomatic and self-evident that we need to invest in the human resources of our own working population, and that as much money as possible needs to be diverted — not just money, but effort and commitment — into developing the human resources of our workers and the skills base in the European Union to assist the development of this industrial competitiveness policy.
— Forslag til beslutning om det tidligere Jugoslavien
I should like to stress right away that the Commission has a problem here.
Den europæiske industris konkurrenceevne
Having industrial policy ambitions in this field and, at the same time, rigorously pursuing a competitiveness policy in the way it is often viewed by civil servants implies difficult choices and compromises will sometimes be necessary.
Kristoffersen (PPE), skriftlig. — Som det med rette understreges i det fælles beslutningsforslag om det tidligere Jugoslavien, vil genopbygningen af de krigshærgede områder afhænge af både retlige, forfatningsmæssige, politiske, sociale og økonomiske betingelser, som skal opfyldes af republikkerne i det tidligere Jugoslavien.
I would like the Commission to bear in mind this important development. It is not an easy matter as there is no global authority to settle these questions of global concentrations, but as it is a global market efforts must be made in this area.
Formanden. — Næste punkt på dagsordenen er betænkning (A4-0248/95) af Kuckelkorn for Udvalget om Økonomi, Valutaspørgsmål og Industripolitik om forslag til Rådets afgørelse om et EF-handlingsprogram til forbedring af den europæiske industris konkurrenceevne (KOM(95)0087 — C4-0404/95-95/008 l(CNS)).
I am delighted that amendments have been made to this document which should draw the Commission's attention to the important role of small- and mediumsized companies for a true industrial competitiveness policy in the European Union, in particular the vocational training and education of business administration in small- and mediumsized companies.
Men de retlige og materielle rammer udgør ikke den eneste forudsætning for genopbygningen.
Each year in the Euro pean Union one in three small- and mediumsized companies that have no management training go to the wall — actually close down.
De psykologiske forudsætninger er lige så vigtige — ja, endog altafgørende.
And yet where management training exists, that figure plummets to only one in ten.
Ét er at medvirke til at forebygge fornyede voldelige konfrontationer.
Together with a number of my colleagues, I should like to stress the importance of staff training and improving the quality of management.
Noget andet er at medvirke til, at befolkningerne i regionen kan leve ved siden af hinanden, og da helst med hinanden.
Our natural resources are not extensive and our principal wealth is the human factor which must certainly be used to the full.
For at kunne bidrage hertil må vi gå meget diplomatisk til værks.
But we have the feeling that this is not always the case.
Det gælder altså om at have en vis »Fingerspitzengefühl«.
A major effort remains to be made in terms of retraining and management training; the Commission may perhaps find the material to supplement what is already being done in the Member States.
Kuckelkorn (PSE), ordfører. — (DE) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, det er glædeligt, at Europa-Kommissionen nu har fulgt sin meddelelse om en politik til forbedring af industriens konkurrenceevne i Den Europæiske Union op med et forslag til Rådets afgørelse om iværksættelse af et EF-handlingsprogram.
I also want to draw attention to the importance of deregulation, of addressing the administrative burden for small- and mediumsized companies. This is a contentious issue but one that all of us in this House, the Commission and the Council must grasp.
Det har en betydning, der ikke må undervurderes, især fordi den industrielle sektors konkurrenceevne som nationaløkonomiens rygrad ikke mere kun kan styrkes ved nationale programmer, men derimod kræver fælles initiativer i Den Europæiske Union.
We must accept that the administrative burden on small companies is disproportionate to that shouldered by large companies. We need a balanced, sensible and realistic approach in addressing this subject.
Al fremtidig forebyggelse af kriser og voldelige konflikter i dette nuancerede og facetterede Europa nødvendiggør altså brug af både politisk-økonomiske og diplomatisk-psykologi-ske midler.
Finally, on small- and mediumsized companies, I am very pleased that ample reference has been made in the amendments to the Commission's document on the information society.
Det gælder om at håndhæve respekten for de enkelte landes og befolkningers identitet og kultur og ikke om det modsatte, nemlig at påtvinge naboen sin egen kultur og identitet — ja, kort sagt om at fremme evnen til at leve med hinanden trods de kulturelle forskelle.
We need to take a proactive role in ensuring that our small companies benefit from the information society and can actually help us develop the sort of competitiveness policies that will give us an industrial edge in the 21st century.
Med det nu foreliggende handlingsprogram, som betænkningen belyser kritisk, betræder Fællesskabets femten stater den nye vej for en europæisk industripolitik. Industripolitik i Europa skal naturligvis ikke længere forstås som statsinterventionisme med det mål at beskytte etablerede strukturer, men har som primært mål at forbedre den europæiske industris konkurrenceevne.
We know that the huge investments to be made in this field must be able to pay for themselves and yield a profit, and that demand cannot always be relied upon.
Alligevel skal dette mål ikke forfølges ensidigt, men nødvendiggør, selvom dette ikke eksplicit er bestemt i Maastrichttraktaten, øget beskæftigelse som med bestemmende komponent inklusive den af denne politik forårsagede samfundsmæssige omvæltning under hensyn til det økologiske livsgrundlag.
The new information technologies have the potential to produce major results in the health and education fields, but the necessary stimulation has not occurred and that is an initiative which the Commission could envisage.
Det er lykkedes i det dansk-tyske grænseland, der i dag udgør et forbillede for hele Europa.
These are the comments I wished to make in support of Mr Kuckelkorn's report.
Dog må det ikke glemmes, at forsoningen mellem befolkningerne i dette grænseland har taget lang tid og krævet megen tålmodighed og reel vilje til at leve med hinanden.
Teverson (ELDR). — Mr President, I welcome this action plan. It has specific objectives and deadlines, and in this world that usually means that we get results.
Jeg takker tolkene for deres tålmodighed.
I hope that together we can forge an industrial competitiveness policy that will take us forward in the 1990s and into the 21st century.
(Mødet udsat kl. 13.15 og genoptaget kl. 15.00)
Herman (PPE). — (FR) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to join with all those who have congratulated Mr
Der var det håb, og det er også prioriteret i den foreliggende betænkning, at Kommissionen ville udnytte chancen for i sit handlingsprogram at forene social- og beskæftigelsespolitiske målsætninger med bestræbelserne på at øge konkurrenceevnen.
and needs, and also to the need to promote good relations between small businesses and corporations, I do not see any mention anywhere in the document of slowed payments of business debt.
Men betragter man kommissionsprogrammets svagt dokumenterede aktionsprioriteter nøjere, må man med skuffelse konstatere, at beskæftigelse og intensivering af den allerede praktiserede sociale dialog kun spiller en underordnet rolle i forhold til en mindre specificeret deregulering.
I know there are legislative proposals elsewhere in the Commission, but they need to be included in this document as well.
Betænkningen forsøger heroverfor at sætte nye beskæftigelses- og socialpolitiske mål.
Even that legislation elsewhere is too weak, and it does not feature in this document.
mellemstore virksomheder markerer sig endnu en gang ugunstigt dér.
Most of Mr Kuckelkorn's amendments are positive.
For i Nederlandene er det for eksempel sådan, at kun 5% af forsknings- og udviklingsmidlerne bruges af SMV. I fremtiden skal der også gøres en større indsats for, at industrien på europæisk plan i højere grad gøres opmærksom på resultaterne af tidligere udførte F & U-anstrengelser. På det område spildes der unødigt mange penge.
However, we want to stress the attention that should be paid in connection with the development of new possibilities offered by the information society for the forms in which labour is organized, as pointed out by the rapporteur, and more particularly to the teleworking that is expected to become common within the framework of the information society, which in our opinion will prove a means of dislocating labour relations and social conscience.
Agitation mod statslige monopoler er ganske vist populær, men tit ikke gennemtænkt, for den, der generelt gør statslige monopoler ansvarlige for høje omkostninger og dårlig kvalitet, generaliserer for meget og glemmer bevidst, at managementfejlbeslutninger i industrien betyder øgede omkostninger og tab af arbejdspladser.
It must therefore cease to be regarded as an obstacle, and be fostered in such a way that it becomes a basic focus for the development and safeguarding of public services, taking account of national requirements and special features and of the broader needs of the people and the workers.
Et tredje ændringsforslag fra vort udvalg vedrører fremme af informationssamfundet, igen blandt andet i små og mellemstore virksomheder.
The parameters that characterize industrial reality in Europe are at the levels they were at the start of the 1980s.
I den forbindelse er det sagt, at der ud over opmærksomhed på SMV er andre ting, der ikke er medtaget i handlingsprogrammet.
The aim of development and competitiveness is the central objective set by the European Union.
Således rettes der kun lidt opmærksom hed mod den stadig vigtigere underholdningsindustri.
Wolf (V). — (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I too should like to congratulate Mr Kuckelkorn very specifically on this well-balanced report.
For at styrkelsen af konkurrenceevnen i fremtiden bliver så omfattende som mulig, bør foranstaltningerne ikke begrænses til de teknologiske virksomheder alene.
However, I should like to begin by endorsing it in a manner which robs it somewhat of its almost Aristotelian equilibrium and makes it more radical and unequivocal, perhaps even thereby altering its direction.
Det glæder mig da også, at Parlamentet her til formiddag har vedtaget et af mig stillet ændringsforslag til budgettet for 1996 om at stille 40 millioner ecu til rådighed for Info 2000-programmet.
Allow me to come back to a concept mentioned in the report but not taken up again in Mr Kuckelkorn's speech; I refer to the concept of innovative regulation.
Der, hvor der er behov for tidsmæssigt vidtrækkende innovationer, hvor der findes omkostningsstrukturer med en ekstrem høj andel af faste omkostninger, har et statskontrolleret udbud absolut sin eksistensberettigelse.
That is really a key concept, which is intended to show us how the problem of the future production of public commodities can be solved.
Således skal også deregulering iværksættes på mange områder med sund fornuft.
The one-sided option currently in vogue, aimed at privatizing the production of public commodities in capital ist enterprises, is quite unconvincing when considered in a somewhat wider empirical and historical context.
Det offentlige må ikke, uden at der sættes noget i stedet, trække sig tilbage fra de områder, som bliver vigtigere og vigtigere i fremtiden: Telekommunikationen, informationssamfundet, bortskaffelsen af affald.
Of course state enterprises are inefficient, but between state enterprises and outright privatization lie a host of other options.
Netop her er det fornuftigt, hvis staten bibeholder en regulerende funktion for at undgå negative indvirkninger på miljøressourcer, personlige rettigheder osv.
We must give them far more careful thought; this is an area in which the European Union has clearly underinvested its intellectual resources.
Plooij-Van Gorsel (ELDR), ordfører for udtalelsen fra Udvalget om Forskning, Teknologisk Udvikling og Energi. — (NL) Hr. formand, det foreliggende program gør et solidt indtryk på Udvalget om Forskning, Teknologisk Udvikling og Energi.
The choices made by the dominant powers in the European Union today, as set out in the White Paper, undermine the very things it claims to promote and propel us towards societies of the Far East type.
Man gør i tilstrækkelig grad opmærksom på de fastlagte prioriteringer så som udvikling af det indre marked, etablering af informationssamfundet og forbedring af formidling og udnyttelse af forskningsresultater.
Without the support and development of human resources, which are the driving force of industry and of the productive process as a whole, not only can there be no development, but in the long term any prospect of competitive ness will be denied.
Det var en opfordring til erhvervs livet om at investere mere og mere effektivt, og det blev også allerede dengang konstateret, at vi skulle bevæge os i retning af udbredelse af teknologisk fornyelse og teknologipolitik, men last but not least var evnen til at udvikle de menneskelige færdigheder, som er nødvendige for at klare de teknologiske ændringer og nye måder at organisere arbejdet på, prioriteret højt i programmet i den meddelelse.
We categorically oppose the concerted effort by the European Union and the Member States to use the crisis and unemployment as excuses for the distortion of labour relations and social welfare systems, or to call into question concepts that have been the cornerstone of postwar development, such as those of solidarity and contribution by both companies and working people to the financing of social welfare.
Man må konstatere, hr. formand, og det har hr. Kuckelhorn også konstateret, at industrien stadig ikke udviser nogen beskæftigelsesesmæssig stigning. Mit spørgsmål lyder da også: »Har Unionens politik i de forløbne år mon været tilstrækkelig?«
In any case, the measures implemented to limit or abolish employers' contributions for certain categories of workers not only failed to solve the problem, but on the contrary, have proved a means to enhance the profits of major capital still further, while being accompanied by higher taxation in the context of the famous alternative financing of social welfare.
Ændringsforslagene 21 og 22, som er stillet af Udvalget om Forskning, Teknologisk Udvikling og Energi vedrører de små og mellemstore virksomheder.
Secondly, a good few points were also made on the location debate, the debate about globalization.
De små og mellemstore virksomheders økonomiske betydning kræver, at myndighederne i Den Europæiske Union er mere opmærksomme på faktorer, som er af stor betydning foren styrkelse af SMV's konkurrenceevne. Det skal ske i stedet for at rette opmærksomheden mod de store industriers konkurrenceevne.
It is interesting to observe the way in which a central concept of social criticism, the concept of globalization introduced by the neo-Marxist Harry Magdoff, has been whittled away, so to speak, in the course of time into a quite everyday term which is used by people to say something they have always wanted to express, something that involves cutting pay, watering down regula tions and otherwise dismantling the complex safety net of the welfare state.
De små og mellemstore virksomheder synes stadig at være utilstrækkeligt orienterede om det indre markeds principper og om harmonisering. Det er bestemt ikke udelukkende SMV's skyld.
That cannot be what competitiveness means, and I believe that many debates about competitiveness are based on a misinterpretation of the export-based success story of the German Federal Republic.
Vi finder, at Kommissionen og medlemsstaterne skal reagere på det på fyldestgørende vis ved at skabe retfærdige regler for nye arbejdsformer og positive former for fleksibilisering. Vi finder også, at arbejdsomkostninger er en faktor, vi fortsat skal se ganske alvorligt på.
Objectives such as cost-cutting must be promoted by productive investment in both traditional and peak branches, which will work in parallel to reduce unemployment and provide for lifelong professional education and training for working people.
Naturligvis vil jeg på vort udvalgs vegne bede om, at man er opmærksom på human resources og uddannelse.
A prerequisite for the prevention of social dumping, which will intensify more and more if policies of complete liberalization and uncontrolled competition continue to be promoted, must be the upward harmonization of working
Europa gør for lidt ved forskning og udvikling.
The idea of mutual benefit must be paramount.
Sammenlignet med Japan og De Forenede Stater udfører vi halvt så megen forskning.
Sustained competitiveness always means the ability to be useful to others.
Det er ikke godt for vores konkurrenceevne og afgjort ikke på langt sigt.
If cutthroat competition is the order of the day, there will be nobody left to buy from anyone else, and the whole approach will be doomed to failure.
I formiddags forøgede vi budgettet til LEONARDO, men jeg har på fornemmelsen, at det LEONARDO-budget allerede er
The Commission's approach, Mr Kuckelkorn, gives a few vague pointers in that direction, but a far clearer line would be welcomed.
Jeg vil også gerne gøre opmærksom på vigtigheden af liberalisering, af at mindske den administrative byrde for små og mellemstore virksomheder.
We must beware of seeking the way out of the present impasse solely in the direction of capital intensive sectors.
Det er et omstridt emne, men vi bør alle, både her i Parlamentet, i Kommissionen og i Rådet, forstå dets vigtighed.
In the light of the unemployment situation in Europe it is better to seek the way through labour-intensive SMUs and the services sector.
Vi skal forstå, at de små virksomheders administrative byrde er forholdsmæssigt meget større end de store virksomheders.
Our concern for the competitive capacity of European industry should not blind us to the necessary transfer of technology to developing countries.
Vi har brug for en afbalanceret, fornuftig og realistisk løsning på dette problem.
It is precisely in building up industry in those countries that the need for sustainable growth must be respected.
givet ud omkring seks gange, fordi der i praksis ikke eksisterer noget handlingsprogram fra Kommissionen, hvori man giver udtryk for, at det handlingsprogram skal nå en række mål.
Mr Kuckelkorn and all the others have already referred to the aspect of a European industrial policy — and let me say explicitly that I. even agree with Mr Herman on this point.
Mit spørgsmål til Kommissionen lyder da også: »Er der her tale om a task force, hvordan vil man afstemme alting indbyrdes, og hvordan vil man reelt nå sine mål?« Jeg vil her endnu en gang henvise til det, Budgetudvalget har konstateret.
Public demand can indeed play a central role in the establish ment of strategic innovations.
Hvordan forholder det sig reelt med budgetposterne?
The important thing here, though, is to identify the industries of the future.
Hvordan går det med at reservere de bevillinger, Kommissionen sætter sig som mål?
What was done in the fifties, namely defining key industries simply on the basis of whether they were vital to the future pursuit of military power, we cannot do again.
Endelig er jeg i denne sammenhæng glad for, at der i ændringsforslagene ofte henvises til Kommissionens dokument om informationssamfundet.
In conclusion, industrial policy and competition policy are part of a specific social and international context.
Jeg vil sammen med Dem lige lade blikket glide tilbage til en række sager.
Democracy demands fiscal clarity, and the appropriate political decisions must be taken.
Hvordan håndterer vi for eksempel i medlemsstaterne pensioner, alle mulige former for arbejdskontrakter og éducation permanente.
Brittan, Sir Leon, Vice President of the Commission. — Mr President, I would like to thank Parliament for its very useful comments and observations on the draft decision so skilfully drafted by Mr Kuckelkorn.
Jeg er egentlig temmelig ræd for, at vi i sidste instans bliver ved at gå som katten om den varme grød, og at medlemsstaterne kun med mundsvejr tillader, at Den Europæiske Union her påtager sig koordination, og det vil jeg gerne have svar på.
The industrial policy adopted by the European Parliament, the Commission and the Council is an open and non-interventionist policy and I would very much agree with Mr Kuckelkorn's description of it as no longer concentrating on state intervention and subsidies but on the improvement of competitiveness with an environmental com ponent.
Jeg vil gerne lykønske hr. Kuckelkorn endnu en gang og anbefale Kommissionen det dokument, han har udarbejdet.
Blokland (EDN). — (NL) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen. Mr Kuckelkorn has presented an excellent report and I would like to congratulate him.
Jeg håber, at vi sammen kan udforme en politik for den europæiske industris konkurrenceevne, som kan føre os fra 1990'erne ind i det 21. århundrede.
He quite rightly explains that the European Union has biased views on competition policy.
Jeg kan forsikre Parlamentet om, at det netop er den slags initiativer, der ønskes af vore virksomheder og den arbejdende befolkning i min valgkreds, som i høj grad er afhængig af en vellykket, stærk industripolitik.
We must learn that competition policy is to be placed in a certain economic and social context. The elimination of distortions in the market should not be an aim in itself.
Herman (PPE). — (FR) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, jeg tilslutter mig alle, der har udtrykt påskønnelse af hr. Kuckelhorns betænkning, og jeg vil også gerne takke Kommissionen, der har taget et skridt i den rigtige retning.
The unhampered operation of the market mechanism does not in every case result in fair returns in society.
Murphy (PSE). — (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne lykønske hr. Kuckelkorn med hans fortrinlige betænkning og også takke Kommissionen, fordi den har taget initiativ til at fremlægge en politik for den europæiske industris konkurrenceevne.
The rapporteur says in his report that the Commission has put too many priorities into its paper rendering unclear which aims are the most important.
Derfor mener jeg, at det er særlig vigtigt, at jeg kommenterer denne sag.
Industrial and competition policy must be formulated around these two tracks.
I meget lang tid har alt, hvad der havde den fjerneste lighed med en industripolitik, været anset for noget uacceptabelt, et skråplan, som man ikke skulle slå ind på.
Mr Kuckelkorn was absolutely right to say that if deregulation has to be pursued, regulation also has a role and when, for example, privatization takes place, a regulatory framework is necessary and he mentioned telecommunications.
Det er i sig selv udmærket og efter min mening et fremskridt.
I hope that this Commission document also makes it clear what we should do.
Kommissionen skal indse, hvor vigtigt det er, at vi har et ægte socialt partnerskab, når vi nu skaber en politik for den europæiske industris konkurrenceevne.
Emphasis must therefore be on creating sustain able products and developing clean technologies, production processes which use as little energy and raw materials as possible.
Vi skal finde nye arbejdsmetoder, men det kan kun ske gennem høringer af arbejdsgivere og arbejdstagere.
We can prevent waste by constantly looking out for ways of reusing raw materials.
Vi skal have en positiv dialog, der åbent og varmt skal accepteres af alle her i Parlamentet.
The throw-away economy must be transformed into a lasting economy where things can be repaired.
Det er grundlaget for en vellykket politik for den europæiske industris konkurrenceevne.
That is the way to strengthen industry's competitive position.
