Kestelijn-Sierens (ELDR), ordfører for udtalelse fra Udvalget om Økonomi, Valutaspørgsmål og Industripolitik. - (NL) Hr. formand, hr. kommissær, kolleger, det foreliggende forslag til direktiv er virkelig et miniforslag.
This proposal for a directive contains only some initial steps - as several speakers have indicated - towards a common approach to supplementary schemes.
Det tilpasser kun princippet om lige behandling af personer, der flytter inden for Fællesskabet. Særligt kan det ikke være rigtigt, at en arbejdstager, der i løbet af sin karriere har gjort brug af sin ret til fri bevægelighed, og som har betalt bidrag i forskellige medlemsstater til supplerende pensionsordninger, ved slutningen af sin karriere kun i begrænset omfang har ret til supplerende pension.
I would prioritize their urgency and the need for them as follows: firstly, protection of entitlement already acquired from company or supplementary pension schemes: secondly, transnational payments of pensions from company pen sion schemes, in other words, exportability of benefits as envisaged in Regulation No 1408; thirdly, the establish ment of special arrangements for short-term employment postings to other Member States.
For tiden arbejder ca. 300 000 mænd og kvinder i EU's medlemsstater i et andet land end det, de tidligere har boet i.
At the moment, around 300 000 men and women are working within the Member States of the EU in a different country from the one they previously lived in.
Det er faktisk færre, end vi engang troede, og siden det indre markeds start er vi egentlig gået ud fra, at antallet ville stige.
Actually, this figure is much less than we once thought, and we have assumed from the beginning of the internal market that it would increase.
Der er mange grunde til det, sikkert også per sonlige grunde, men der er også politiske grunde til det.
There are many reasons for this, certainly some individual, but also some political ones.
Disse politiske grunde bliver vi nødt til at se på.
It is our task to look at the political reasons.
Grundene dertil er et tema, vi har beskæftiget os indgående med i de sidste måneder, navnlig i Udvalget om Sociale Anliggender og Beskæftigelse, men også i Udvalget om Retlige Anliggender og Borgernes Rettigheder, i Udvalget om Økonomi, Valutaspørgsmål og Industripolitik og tillige i Udvalget om Kvinders Rettigheder.
They are an is sue which we have covered in great depth in recent months, especially in the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, the Committee on Legal Affairs and Citizens' Rights, the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy and the Committee on Women's Rights.
Dette tema er som helhed blevet drøftet indgående i Parlamentet i de sidste måneder, og vi har igen og igen konstateret, at de nationale regler, de nationale bestemmelser bevirker en usandsynlig strøm af hindringer, jeg vil næsten sige chikanerier.
The issue has been debated in detail in recent months in Parliament, and we are becoming ever more aware that national regulations and provisions raise an incredible number of obstructions; I would almost go so far as to say they amount to harassment.
Det er en af de politiske grunde.
This is one of the political reasons for the situation.
Økonomiudvalget har i sin udtalelse fremsat seks ændringsforslag.
The directive contains some of' the measures proposed in the Green Paper on supplementary pensions.
På den anden side har udvalget forelagt en ny definition af begrebet udstationeret arbejdstager fra en medlemsstat og af oprindelsesmedlemsstat. lemsstat.
In my view, profit-sharing from property ownership for employees is an important way forward, if not as a second pillar alongside statutory pensions, then as supplementary income in old age.
Forslaget til direktiv har ikke til hensigt at løse alle problemer.
However, a small step has been taken and it is a good one.
Det er et første skridt vedrørende supplerende pensionsordninger.
In any case, it will ensure that employees in Eu rope will not be worse off if they make use of the freedom of movement which they have been guaranteed.
Gruppen under ledelse af fru Veil gik ind for, at EU skulle indskrænke sig til anvendelsen af princippet om lige behandling af arbejdstagere, der flytter inden for Fællesskabet.
Of the three pillars of pension provision, the company supplementary pension scheme is still relatively small, especially in my country; in Germany it makes up less than 57 % of contracts.
Men det ændrer ikke noget ved, at debatten om de øvrige hindringer, f.eks. de lange venteti
But we know that in future these supplementary schemes will have a more important role than they had in the past.
Den anden grund er også Jeg siger det helt åbent, hr. kom missær Flynn, at også Kommissionen tidligere har be skæftiget sig ret så tøvende og sendrægtigt med dette tema og dér, hvor den har arbejdet med det, har Rådet - som al tid, det ved vi jo - blokeret.
Boogerd-Quaak (ELDR). - (NL) Mr President, this re port deals principally with the cross-frontier transferability of pensions, and it has been rightly pointed out by a number of' my colleagues that it is a first step and that the directive is in fact a rather limited one.
Men der er taget et lille skridt, og dette skridt er godt.
I was actually rather taken by what Mr Ferri said in his report on the free movement of workers, that this requires a completely different approach to the transferability of pensions.
Det sikres under alle omstændigheder, at arbejdstagere i Europa netop ikke stilles ringere, hvis de udnytter den fri bevægelighed, som jo er garanteret
I think we will have to sort this out when we are dealing with the Green Paper, as the entire issue will obviously come up
Men vi ved, at de supplerende ordninger helt bestemt vil blive prioriteret højere i fremtiden end hidtil.
This is just a start, a very small start, and it must be followed up in due course by further proposals.
For os må det være vigtigt, at...
In that context I should like to congratulate the rapporteur.
Jeg tror, at vi endnu en gang må kulegrave dette problem i grønbogen, fordi denne problematik vender til bage her. Ikke desto mindre har kollega Etti i sit skriftlige bidrag gjort opmærksom på problemer som f.eks. dobbelt beskatning og den lange pensionsopbygningsperiode i nogle lande, der bestemt burde høre fortiden til.
I thank all of you for the excellent work done here.
Man kan ikke på den ene side sige til arbejdstagerne, at de skal være mere fleksible og så på den anden side binde arbejdstagerne med meget lange pensionsopbygningsperioder, og her henvender jeg mig særligt til kollega Menrad.
You cannot tell workers that their behaviour should be more flexible on the one hand, and tie them down on the other - and I say this to Mrs Menrad in particular- with extremely long qualifying periods.
Jeg finder ærlig talt, at der er tale om en form for tyveri fra arbejdstagerne.
To be honest, I think this is a form of theft from the worker.
Det burde vi i EU have mod til at løse.
We should have the courage to re solve this from within Europe.
Menrad (PPE). - (DE) Hr. formand, hr. kommissær, på vegne af Det Europæiske Folkepartis Gruppe hilser jeg Kommissionens forslag velkommen.
A number of issues have been improved by this report, in particular with regard to the definition of posting, I be lieve good proposals have been made.
Samtidig gratulerer jeg hr. Etti med hans saglige og afbalancerede betænkning.
I hope the Com mission will want to adopt them.
Den beskriver meget nøje den problematik, at vand rende arbejdstagere i givet fald kun får reducerede krav på supplerende pensioner, når de arbejder i forskellige med lemsstater, hvilket har en negativ indflydelse på den fri bevægelighed og den ofte nødvendige mobilitet.
We are all allies in the task of" removing obstacles to free movement related to supplementary pensions and making progress towards achieving a fundamental principle of the Treaty.
Derfor er der i de forløbne år gentagne gange blevet rejst krav om, at de supplerende ordninger simpelthen lægges ind under forordning 1408, som hidtil kun har omfattet de lovbestemte pensionsordninger for vandrende arbejdstagere.
The purpose of this proposal for a Council directive on which your opinion is requested is to provide protection as regards supplementary pension schemes for the pension rights of workers and members of their families who move from one Member State of'the European Union to another.
Mangfoldigheden af de supplerende pensioner giver ikke nogen mulighed for en simpel sammenlægning af bidragsperioderne, som det sker i forbindelse med 1408.
This proposal takes into account the conclusions of the high level panel on free movement chaired by Mrs Weil.
En række forhold er blevet forbedret med denne betænkning.
It constitutes a first step in removing identified obstacles in this area.
Særligt med hensyn til definitionen af udstationering mener jeg, at der er fremsat gode forslag. Jeg håber, at Kommissionen vil overtage dem.
The proposal will have a positive affect on labour market mobility since workers will be less hindered from going to work in another Member State.
Jeg vil også gerne takke kollega Etti, og denne tak må nu overbringes af vores formand, hr. Hughes, for det gode samarbejde, fordi jeg finder, at samarbejdet har været meget fint i denne sag.
I would also like to thank Mr Etti sincerely for his admirable cooperation, and I hope our chairman. Mr Hughes, will pass this on. because I believe that the cooperation in this case has been excellent.-But, again, ladies and gentle men, Mr President.
Men, endnu en gang, kolleger, hr. for mand, hr. kommissær, dette er kun det første skridt i en sag om pensioner, som vi må have løst.
Commissioner, this is really only a first step on the way to solving an issue vvhich we have to solve with regard to pensions.
Hvis vi samarbejder, som vi nu gør i Parlamentet, så kan Kommissionen forvente både det ene og det andet fra vores side.
The Commission can ex pect a great deal from us if we are able to cooperate as we are doing in this Parliament at present.
For det an det grænseoverskridende udbetaling af pensionerne fra den virksomhedsrelaterede alderspension, det vil sige, at ydelserne i henhold til forordning 1408 skal kunne eksporteres.
I can surely say that I believe the pension system is some thing vvhich is being discussed in all Member States, in view, among other things, of the rising proportion of elderly, which means that more or less all pension systems need to be revised, especially state ones.
For det tredje er det nødvendigt at fastsætte sær lige bestemmelser for korttidsbeskæftigelse i et andet medlemsland i forbindelse med udstationering.
We are not discussing that here today, but these systems are the most important, and I would like to emphasize that for our citizens. izens.
Andersson (PSE). - (SV) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne takke Etti i hans fravær for en god betænkning.
Similarly, the proposal will make it easier for companies who wish to second workers within their organization to work in another Member State.
Helt generelt kan jeg vel sige, at jeg tror, at pensionssystememe er noget, som diskuteres i alle medlemslande, bl.a. med tanke på den stigende andel ældre, som indebærer, at der er behov for at revidere stort set alle pensionssystemer, især de statslige.
As emphasized in the 1997 Green Paper on supplementary pensions and the single market, supplementary pension schemes play an important role as a second pillar of' social security vvhich complements the protection provided by the statutory schemes.
Det er ikke det, vi behandler her i dag, men disse systemer er de allervigtigste, hvilket jeg gerne vil understrege over for vores borgere.
As more and more Union citizens turn to these supplementary pension schemes as a way of guaranteeing adequate income in their retirement, protection of the rights in these schemes becomes more important.
Ettl-betænkningen formulerer direktivets målsætninger bedre og erstatter unøjagtige definitioner.
It is the supplementary pensions that are being discussed here. As a previous speaker said, they are becoming in creasingly important.
Direktivet inde holder en del af de foranstaltninger til supplerende alderspension, der blev foreslået i grønbogen.
The problem with supplementary pensions is, above all, the difficulties with regard to the single market and the restrictions which exist in terms of the freedom of' movement.
I grønbogen lægges der derudover særlig vægt på at åbne mulighed for grænseoverskridende investeringer i pensionsfonde og således forbedre den fri bevægelighed.
This is discussed in part in the Commission's proposal, which says that workers who are sent abroad by their employer should be able to belong to the system vvhich they belonged to before.
Sådanne fonde spiller allerede nu en stor rolle i en række af EU's med lemslande.
Guarantees are also given that they will be informed of their right to a pension and the rules which exist in the EU when they move.
Arbejdstageres andel i overskuddet er efter min overbevisning et vigtigt fremstidsperspektiv, om ikke som den anden søjle ved siden af den lovbestemte pension, så dog som supplerende indtægt i alderdommen.
In particular, it addressed the question of long vesting periods, difficulties with transferability of vested pension rights and tax difficulties linked to acquiring pension rights in more than one Member State.
Ettl-betænkningen behandler naturligvis ikke dette perspektiv, den kon centrerer sig med rette om Kommissionens forslag til di
The proposal before us today, once adopted, should form the basis for renewed political effort to re move the remaining obstacles.
Her er det de supplerende pensioner, der tages op.
And that is the key point. This is the start.
Det er, som en tidligere taler sagde, nemlig sådan, at de bliver stadig vigtigere.
It must lead on to further efforts to re move the obstacles.
Problemet med hensyn til de supplerende pensioner er især problemerne vedrørende det indre marked og de begrænsninger, der findes for bevægeligheden.
I can accept eleven of your amend ments in the belief that this will enable the Commission proposal to go ahead and to be adopted by the Council.
Dette behandles delvis i Kommissionens forslag, hvor det tages op, at arbejdstagere, som udsendes af deres arbejdsgivere, skal kunne tilhøre det system, de tidligere har til hørt.
We hope this is going to happen in June under the United Kingdom presidency.
Der gives endvidere garantier for, at de skal informeres om deres ret til pension og de regler, der findes i EU, når de flytter.
The amendments the Commission is willing to accept are as follows: Nos 2 and 3 in principle, part of' No 4 and Amendments Nos 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, 13, 14 and 17.
Dette er naturligvis, som flere andre siger, vigtige forslag.
The difficulties which Mr Etti has pointed out, the long earning periods, the problems of transferability and the question of double taxation are issues which must be raised in future and supplemented in future proposals from the Commission in order for freedom of movement to be realized.
De er dog ikke tilstrækkelige, men udgør derimod blot et første skridt.
Meanwhile, I am of course supporting this proposal, vvhich is a good one, but it is important to emphasize again that this is a first step.
Ændringsforslag nr. 1 skaber nogle tekniske og juridiske komplikationer, der kræver yderligere overvejelse. Kom missionen må derfor i dag forbeholde sig sin stilling til dette ændringsforslag.
Amendment No 1 raises some technical legal complications that require further consideration.
Vi må også forbeholde os vores stilling til ændringsforslag nr. 18, som jeg har set for før ste gang her i aften, og som ser ud til at kræve meget grundig overvejelse.
I must also reserve our position on Amendment No 18 which 1 have seen for the very first time tonight and which would seem to re quire some very careful consideration.
Flynn, medlem af Kommissionen. - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne takke alle dem, som har givet deres bidrag.
President. -The next item is the report (A4-0I31/98) by Mr Verde i Aldea, on behalf of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Citizens' Rights, on the draft Convention on jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement of judgements in matrimonial matters ( 13245/97 - C4-0063/98-97/0918 (CNS)).
I den forbindelse vil jeg gerne lykønske ordføreren. Han er ganske vist ikke til stede, men hr. Hughes har givet en fremragende præsentation på hans vegne.
Draftsman of the opinion: Mrs d'Ancona, on behalf of the Committee on Civil Liberties and Internal Affairs (Hughes Procedure).
Formålet med dette forslag til Rådets direktiv, som vi gerne vil høre Deres mening om, er at beskytte rettighederne til supplerende pension for arbejdstagere og deres familier, hvis de flytter fra én medlemsstat i Den Europæiske Union til en anden.
30 years ago the then European Economic Community re alized that increased international trade meant that the Member States ofthat Community had to reach a convention to determine competence and how to implement sen tences in contractual matters.
I dette forslag tages hensyn til de konklusioner, der er udarbejdet af ekspertgruppen på højt plan om fri bevægelighed under forsæde af Simone Veil. Det udgør et før ste skridt i retning af at fjerne de kendte hindringer på dette område.
Contracts were - and are in creasingly so today - international contracts, especially in the Union, and that convention was absolutely necessary, it was drawn up in the form of a convention because the Community had no competence in that area.
Jeg kan ikke godkende ændringsforslag nr. 10, 11, 12 og 15, da de begrænser forslagets anvendelsesområde.
I cannot accept Amendments Nos 10, 11, 12 or 15 be cause these restrict the scope of the proposal.
Ændringsforslag nr. 10, 11 og 12 medfører en begrænsning med hensyn til de personer, der er omfattet af direktivet.
Amend ments Nos 10, 11 and 12 restrict the personal scope of the directive.
Ændringsforslag nr. 15 medfører en begrænsning med hensyn til direktivets væsensindhold, da det betyder, at udstationerede arbejdstageres mulighed for tværnational tilknytning til en pensionsordning i medfør af artikel 6 kun skal begrænses i forbindelse med ordninger, som giver tilsvarende rettigheder i oprindelseslandet som i værtsmedlemsstaten.
Amendment No 15 restricts the material scope of the directive since the trans-border affiliation for posted workers provided for by Article 6 should be limited only in schemes of comparable entitlement in the host Member State and in the country of origin.
Hvad angår ændringsforslag nr. 16, kan det ikke godkendes på nuværende tidspunkt, da det er mere vidtgående end artikel 7, som det bygger på.
As far as Amendment No 16 is concerned, it cannot be accepted at this stage because it goes beyond the aim of Article 7 to which it refers.
De vil bemærke, at artikel 7 omhandler beskatningsaspekter i forbindelse med indbetaling af bidrag til en supplerende pensionordning fra eller på vegne af en udstationeret arbejdstager.
You will note that Article 7 deals with tax ation aspects of supplementary pensions contributions made on or behalf of a posted worker.
Dette er det mest følsomme aspekt af forslaget, og det vil under alle omstændigheder blive meget svært at opnå politisk enighed herom i Rådet.
This is the most sensitive aspect of the proposal for vvhich a political agreement in the Council is going to be very difficult to achieve anyway.
Beskatningsaspekterne i forbindelse med supplerende pensionsordninger kræver en bredere fremgangsmåde, så vi kan finde egnede løsninger på de eksisterende problemer og undgå yderligere og samtidig dobbeltbeskatning af personer, der flytter inden for Den Europæiske Union.
The tax aspects of supplementary pen sions need a broader approach in order to find suitable so lutions to the existing problems and by avoiding additional and simultaneous double taxation for persons moving within the European Union.
Disse beskatningsaspekter drøftes i øjeblikket med alle involverede parter i forbindelse med grønbogen.
These tax aspects are under discussion with all involved parties in the context of the Green Paper.
Forslaget vil ligeledes gøre det lettere for virksomheder at udsende arbejdstagere i deres organisation til andre med lemsstater.
Thirty years later, we can say that that 1968 Brussels Convention, under the jurisdictional tutelage of the Court of' Justice, has progressed satisfactorily during that time.
Som det blev fremhævet i grønbogen om supplerende pensioner i det indre marked fra 1997, udgør supplerende pensionsordninger en vigtig del af de sociale ydelser som supplement til den beskyttelse, der ydes af de statslige ordninger. Efterhånden som flere og flere unionsborgere indtræder i disse supplerende pensionsordninger for at sikre sig en tilstrækkelig indkomst, efter at de er gået på pension, bliver det vigtigere at beskytte rettighederne under disse ordninger.
Having reached this point, the Member States have real ized that there is another area too - that of the freedom of movement of persons - vvhich has given rise to a situation of transfers and contacts between the different countries within the Union, vvhich has led to increasing numbers of' marriages between nationals of different Member States.
Jeg regner med, at vi på dette grundlag kan sige, at vi har opnået politisk enighed, og at Kommissionens forslag med de ændringer, som vedtages i Parlamentets udtalelse, kan gå videre til vedtagelse i Rådet.
I trust that on this basis we can consider that we have a po litical agreement and that the Commission proposal can go forward for adoption by the Council, as amended following the adoption of Parliament's opinion.
Jeg ser frem til at gøre yderligere fremskridt på dette område på et senere tids punkt.
I look for ward to making further advances on this matter at a later date.
I denne grønbog behandlede Kommissionen flere spørgsmål, hvoraf en række sigtede mod en mere detaljeret analyse af hindringerne af den frie bevægelighed og faldt uden for det foreliggende forslags rammer.
This Parliament is just acting in a consultative capacity as regards this convention presented by the Council. The Council is not here for this debate, so I do not have to make any very profound remarks to try to convince them of the value of our amendments.
Den beskæftigede sig navnlig med spørgsmålet om lange optjeningsperioder, problemerne i forbindelse med overførsel af erhvervede pensionsrettigheder og beskatningsprocenterne i forbindelse med erhvervelse af pensionsrettigheder i mere end en medlemsstat.
However, I will say that Parliament and the Committee on Legal Affairs and Citizens' Rights have been inclined to accept this convention. We know it has been debated at length in the Council be cause this question has given rise to tensions between Member States. - especially between the Nordic countries, vvhich also have a convention and have done so for a long time, and others.
Det forslag, som vi behandler i dag, skal, når det er vedtaget, danne grundlag for nye politiske bestræbelser på at fjerne de resterende hindringer.
The effect has been to make this an extremely delicate text, and any amendment could once again call into question the whole convention.
Og det er hovedformålet.
President. - I should explain.
Dette er en begyndelse.
So far during this debate, you are the Member who has gone furthest over the allotted speaking time.
Forslaget skal føre til en yderligere indsats for at fjerne hindringerne.
That is why I had to interrupt you, because you were already over your, time-limit by a third.
Jeg kan god kende 11 af ændringsforslagene ud fra den overbevisning,
We are probably both right, but that is what happened and I wanted to explain it to you.
Nr. 4-518/61 iske Union - har det fremsat et udkast til konvention om ægteskabssager.
No 4-518/61
Weiler (PSE). - (DE) Hr. formand, De har ledet mødet i aften på en meget fair måde.
Banotti (PPE). - Mr President, on behalf of my group I should like to thank Mr Verde i Aldea for this very important piece of' legislation, in particular as it relates to a very human issue and, one vvhich is increasing and poses problems for many of us.
