Brinkhorst (ELDR). - (EN) Fru formand, det klare budskab fra Moorhouse-betænkningen er, som mange talere har understreget, at forbindelserne mellem Den Europæiske Union og Japan har udviklet sig væsentligt i løbet af de sidste ti år.
In the same fashion, nothing is said of the way Japan clings to protecting her agricultural and livestock re­sources: agricultural products, processed agricultural prod­ucts, fish produce.
Vi er nu engageret på mange flere områder end for 10 eller 50 år siden. Samtidig synes jeg, at der åbenbart stadig er en vis afstand kulturelt og politisk mellem Europa og Japan.
How can it be that this net exporter of goods, services and investments can manage to protect its achievements in the area of production and agricultural prices, thus escaping the alignment of its agriculture with world prices and maintaining the uniqueness of Japanese agriculture?
Selvom USA, Japan og Europa ofte beskrives som de tre sider af trekanten, opfatter japanerne tydeligvis forbindelserne mellem Europa og Japan som »yngre«, sammenlignet med forbindelserne mellem Europa og USA og mellem USA og Japan.
Can Japan develop an agricultural model suited to its needs whilst we are unable to develop one suited to ours?
Der er bestemt ingen grund til at læne sig tilbage.
In this respect, will Japan be a model to follow?
Vi må ikke tage det for givet, at forbindelserne mellem Japan og Europa vil udvikle sig til at blive lige så tætte som mellem Europa og USA eller mellem USA og Japan.
Mr President, I would have liked to see, in an otherwise relevant report on many points, some substantial development of these important questions.
Betænkningen viser netop, at Kommissionen skal være mere opmærksom på konsekvenserne af bilateralisme, som anvendes i stor stil af USA, der i øvrigt også er en varm tilhænger af multilateralisme, i forhold til Japan, for således at undgå en potentiel diskriminering af vores virksomheder på det japanske marked i forhold til deres
The Commission must today, therefore, make a precise evaluation of relations between the Union and Japan, taking into account all aspects including the monetary and provide a forecast on the subject to Parliament. Clear and precise measures must be proposed so that European products free themselves from the 'keretsu' and so that the Japanese authorities are convinced of the procedures for testing and international agreement.
Desuden er vi ved at opbygge stadig tættere forbindelser med andre lande i Asien.
Madam President, bilateral negotiations continue and will continue long after playing their role on an international business level.
Forbindelserne med Kina er »unge« ligesom det overordnede forhold på sikkerheds-
Brinkhorst (ELDR). ­ Madam President, the clear mes­sage from the Moorhouse report, as many speakers have stressed, is that in the last ten years there have been significant developments in relations between the Euro­
Brinkhorst området mellem Japan og USA.
At the same time I think it is clear that there is still a certain distance in cultural and political terms between Europe and Japan.
For dette land er vi et fast holdepunkt, et element, som ofte bliver overset i Europa.
For that country, we remain the fundamental anchor. That element is very often overlooked in Europe.
Vi efterlyser nøjagtig samme behandling.
We are appealing for exactly the same kind of treatment.
en støne udvikling af politik, fremskridt og holdninger, end i forbindelserne mellem Europa og Japan, selvom denne udvikling dog ikke har været den mest dramatiske.
It is no exaggeration to say that of all the developments in external affairs, in the years I have been involved, the evolution of policy, progress and attitudes to relations between Europe and Japan has been the most substantial if not the most dramatic.
Den har ikke været den mest dramatiske, fordi den ikke skete i ét spring eller ved én aftale, og den har været den største, fordi vi har bevæget os fra en tid, hvor, som tidligere nævnt, forbindelserne - hovedsagelig handelsforbindelserne - var et stridsspørgsmål til en tid, hvor handelsforbindelserne har forbedret sig væsentligt og nu dækker et bredere område, der omfatter både politiske og økonomiske aktiviteter.
It has not been dramatic because it has not been achieved by any single leap or single agreement but it has been the most substantial because we have moved from a time when, as has been said, relations - largely trade relations - have been contentious to a time when trade relations have greatly improved and when relations have been considerably broadened to cover political activities as well as economic activities.
Jeg vil gerne spørge Sir Leon, om det ikke er på tide, vi får en bredere og mere strategisk målsætning for forbindelserne mellem landene.
The question I would like to put to Sir Leon is whether the time has not come to look for a broader, more strategic objective in our relationship.
Underligt nok, og af alle lande i verden, har Den Europæiske Union ingen bilaterale aftaler med hverken USA eller Japan.
It is strange that of all the countries in the world, the European Union has no bilateral agreements with either the United States or Japan.
Vi har haft en aftale med Kina siden 1984, som klart giver grundlag for udvikling.
We have had an agreement with China since 1984 and this is certainly going to develop.
Vores forbindelser med USA er af en ganske anden karakter.
In the case of the United States, our links are of a quite different nature.
Derfor er spørgsmålet, om det ikke er klogt at arbejde hen imod en strategisk rammeaftale, der samler de forskellige forbindelser inden for det videnskabelige, økonomiske, kulturelle og miljømæssige område som et ud tryk for, at denne udvikling for os udgør et strategisk bånd til fremtiden.
The question therefore is whether it would be wise to work toward a strategic framework agreement, enveloping the various links which we have in the scientific, economic, political, cultural and environmental fields as a way of saying that this is the development which gives us a strategic link to the future.
I forbindelse med de politiske aktiviteter har bl.a. hr. Ford omtalt KEDO-sagen.
Reference has been made in relation to political activities, for example to the question of KEDO by Mr Ford.
Den er af afgørende betydning, da den viser Den Europæiske Unions vilje til at deltage i en ordning, der koster os lidt af forbindelserne med USA, Japan og Korea, og som er utroligt vigtig for regionens sikkerhed.
That is of fundamental importance because it shows that the European Union is prepared to participate in an arrange ment which costs us a bit with the United States, Japan and Korea of profound importance for the security of the region.
Den er et symbol på, at vi alt i alt er betydeligt mere interesserede.
It is a symbol of our much greater interest in the whole.
Van Dam (I-EDN). - (NL) Fru formand, betænkningen af kollega Moorhouse i Udvalget om Eksterne Økonomiske Forbindelser er omhyggeligt forberedt.
Van Dam (I-EDN). - (NL) Madam President, the report by Mr Moorhouse, on behalf of the Committee on External Economic Relations, has been carefully prepared.
Selvom jeg hidtil ikke har kunnet deltage, har jeg stor beundring for denne betænkning.
I was not able to participate in it myself, but I greatly appreciate it.
Kommissionen lægger i sin meddelelse til Rådet vægt på intensivering af de politiske relationer med Japan.
In its communication to the Council, the European Commission places the emphasis on intensify ing political relations with Japan.
Ordføreren konigerer med rette dette synspunkt.
The rapporteur rightly conects this approach.
Den Europæiske Unions politik skal først og fremmest stile mod en forbedring af handelsrelationerne med Japan.
The policy of the European Union must above all be geared to the improvement of trading relations with Japan.
Der blev også spurgt om, hvordan vi har nået de frem skridt, vi har, og hvilke yderligere fremskridt, der er mulige.
The question was also raised of how have, we come to make the progress we have made and what further progress is mere to be made.
Vi er nået så langt ved at have en holdning, der er væsentlig forskellig fra USA's og efter min mening bedre egnet til os og mindst lige så effektiv.
This has come about through adopting an approach that is significantiy different from the United States and certainly in my mind more suitable for us and at least as successful.
Det var ikke nogen blød holdning.
It has not been a soft approach.
Vi har ikke haft den holdning, at vi bare accepterede japanernes foranstaltninger uden videre.
It has not been an approach which simply says we will go along with whatever the Japanese do.
Vi har fordelt sol og vind lige.
We have been even-handed.
I forbindelserne med Japan har vi insisteret på, at der ikke skulle ske diskrimination mod os til fordel for USA.
We have insisted in our relations with Japan, that there should be no discrimination against us compared with the United States.
Europæiske virksomheder støder stadig på vanskeligheder med få adgang til det japanske marked.
European companies still experience problems in access ing the Japanese market.
Japans stadigt høje handelsoverskud i forhold til Unionen er en anvisning herom. De direkte investeringer er også langt fra i balance.
Japan's continuing high trade surplus vis-à-vis the European Union is an indication of this.
I meddelelsen og betænkningen nævnes forskellige han delshindringer.
In the communication and the report the various trade barriers are described.
Det må kunne forlanges, at Japan afgiver klare løfter om ophævelse heraf.
We may request that Japan make clear promises about the lifting of these barriers.
De intentioner, der blev udtalt af Japan på topkonferencen i Haag den 25 juni i år, giver i nogen grad håb herom.
The intentions expressed by Japan at the summit in the Hague on 25 June give some hope of this.
Her er jeg uenig med hr. Souchet, som nævnte halvledere.
Here I beg to differ from what Mr Souchet said.
Det er interessant, at vi kunne holde stand og endda forhale hele aftalen om informationsteknologi, hvilket grundlæggende var til vores fordel, medmindre og indtil vi nåede et punkt, hvor eksklusivitetsforholdene i aftalen mellem Japan og USA om halvledere blev ophævet, og vi blev fuldgyldige partnere i halvledenådet.
He mentioned semi-conductors. It is interesting that we were able to hold out and indeed to delay the whole of the information technology agreement, which was fundamentally in our interest, unless and until we reached a point when the exclusive features of the agreement between Japan and the United States with regard to semiconductors were brought to an end and we were brought into the semi-conductor council as full partners.
Verdenshandelsorganisationen er efter min mening det mest egnede middel til at åbne op for handelsrelationerne med Japan.
The World Trade Organization is, in my view, the appropriate forum in which to raise trading relations with Japan.
USA har valgt en unilateral aggressiv frem gangsmåde over for Japan, der ikke passer til Den Euro pæiske Union.
The United States have chosen an aggressive unilateral approach to Japan; that is not appropriate for the European Union.
Ikke blot er Den Europæiske Unions stilling en anden, men den amerikanske model har også kun givet begrænsede resultater.
Not only is the position of the European Union different, but the American approach has only achieved limited results.
Kommissionens og ordførerens strategi om vedvarende at kræve forandring, anser jeg for rigtig.
The strategy of the Commission and the rapporteur, of constant, broad insistence on change, is what I consider to
Det viser, hvordan vi gennem både multilaterale foran staltninger og bilateralt pres kan forsvare os mod det forkastelige, uanset om det kommer fra USA eller Japan eller begge lande.
That is an example of the way in which, through the use of multilateral measures as well as bilateral pressures, we are able to defend ourselves against that which was objectionable whether it came from the United States, or from Japan, or both.
Men vi har også haft friheden og viljen til at have den holdning, der passede. For eksempel, da Japan var truet af USA's foranstaltninger inden for bilsektoren, rejste USA børster, da vi sagde, at det, som USA truede med, var i modstrid med WTO's internationale regler.
But also we have been free and ready to take whatever line is appropriate.

Brittan, Sir Leon
Forsyningspligtydeher inden for telekommunikation
Universal telecommunications service
Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er forhandling om betænkning (A4-0270/97) af van Velzen for Udvalget om Økonomi, Valutaspørgsmål og Industripolitik om Kommissionens meddelelse om kriterier for vurdering af nationale ordninger til omkostningsberegning og finansiering af forsyningspligtydelser inden for telekommunikation og retningslinjer for .medlemsstaterne for driften af sådanne ordninger.
President. - The next item is the report (A4-0270/97) by Mr van Velzen, on behalf of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy, on the Com mission communication on assessment criteria for national schemes for the costing and financing of universal service in telecommunications and guidelines for Member States on operation of such schemes.
Samtrafikstakster faktureres af netværkoperatøren for brugen af hans faciliteter.
So we were able effectively to defend ourselves.
Access deficits fremkommer af en ubalanceret takststruktur.
As far as Japan is concerned, we did not hesitate to take action in the WTO when it came to discrimination in the taxation of spirits and we were successful.
I bilaget til meddelelsen står der, at ordningerne vedrørende access deficits er af midlertidig karakter og må løbe til 1. januar 2000.
I made it clear throughout to our Japanese friends that this was not being done in a hostile way but rather by using the international system to achieve the objectives which it was there for, namely the peaceful resolution of disputes.
(PPE), ordfører. - (NL) Fru formand, kommissær, kære kolleger, i Nederlandene vil den største teleoperatør som marketingstrick bringe et telefonkort på markedet med en »duft«.
(PPE), rapporteur. - (NL) Madam President, Mr Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, in the Netherlands the largest telecom operator is going to put on the market a telecom card with a smell as a marketing stunt.
Denne meddelelse fandtes i sidste uge i Nederlandenes største avis.
The largest newspaper in the Netherlands ran a report about it last week.
Hvad kan liberaliseringen af det europæiske telemarked dog ikke føre til, hr. kommissær! I december kommer der et kort på markedet, der vil komme til at dufte af gran, fresiaer, jordbær eller mynte.
Where will the deregulation of the European telecom market lead us next, Mr Commissioner?
Kommissær, jeg lover Dem, at jeg vil skænke Dem et sådant kort, når det kommer på markedet. Men nu til det alvorlige.
Mr Commissioner, I promise that I shall give you one of these cards as soon as they are on the market.
Udvalget om Økonomi, Valutaspørgsmål og Industripolitik er helt enig heri.
Above all, we have been able to show that our own experience in deregulation is valid for Japan.
Takstomstrukturering er således et essen tielt kendetegn for det frie marked og access deficits hører ikke herunder.
In addition, the term 'universal service' itself creates uncertainly because it is not always defined clearly.
Men dette bør netop tydeliggøres. Jeg har forstået på mine kontakter, at Kommissionen anser ONP-taletelefoni som det sted, hvor dette skal ordnes.
That is always the case and always will be.
Men jeg kan ikke finde det virkelig klart deri.
But we do so in a spirit of cooperation.
En tydeliggørelse af alt dette i en konektion til meddelelsen ville være en stor hjælp.
What has been said by many speakers in the course of this debate about science and technology and the further advances that can be made has great validity.
Omkostningsberegningen af forsyningspligtydelser er et meget teknisk, men vigtigt emne, fordi det drejer sig om mange penge.
I wish to speak of my extreme concern here. The Euro pean Institutions can make splendid EU legislation, but in the end it is up to the willingness to invest of new entrants on the market whether the liberalization will actually work.
Denne meddelelse giver med
I said that this morning when we were dealing with the other report by Mrs Read.
Og så er der det essentielle spørgsmål: Hvem må levere forsyningspligtydelsen, og hvordan fastsættes omkostningerne?
This combination of approaches has in the past decade proved to be the right one, as is shown by the fact that the Commission and all parts of the House have come together in an unusual display of very substantial unity in support of a policy which is in the interests of Europe.
For nu at begynde med det sidste, nettoomkostningerne: Ifølge Fællesskabets lovgivning skal nettoomkostningerne beregnes på objektiv, transparent og ikkediskriminerende basis.
In the short term, a technical review of the Commission's communication would be a step in the right direction, together with Amendment No 11 to Mrs Read's report that was adopted this morning.
Enhver indenfor sektoren ved, at på
That gives the operators clarity.
et liberaliseret marked er det nødvendigt med en fremtidsorienteret omkostningsberegning.
The second dilemma is also touched on in Mr van Velzen's report - although not direcdy highlighted in his contribution.
Alligevel nævnes de eksakte udgiftsposter og omkostningstyper, der skal beregnes, ikke i lovgivningen, og det har sektoren netop stort behov for.
We in this Parliament accept that the pressure to meet the deadline, indeed the commercial and industrial pressures of the progress of liberalization, make some cross-over almost inevitable.
Paragraf 17 i rettesnorene i denne meddelelse giver her gode tilknytningspunkter.
Clarification of all of this in a corrigendum to this communication would be very helpful.
Desvæne drejer det sig heller ikke her om lovgivning.
Unfortunately, though, there is no legislation here.
Det var ærgerligt, at vi ikke her til formiddag kunne høre en så fuldstændig beretning fra kommisssæren som vi gerne ville, om forslagene om taletelefoni.Jeg er dog meget glad for, at ændringsforslag om indførelse af halvårlig rapportering til Parlamentet fra Kommissionen blev vedtaget, og jeg håber stærkt, at Parlamentet og Kommissionen således kan finde sammen og konsolidere deres arbejde i et vist omfang.
It was unfortunate that this morning we were unable to hear from the Commissioner as fully as we would have liked on the proposals concerning voice telephony. How ever, I was very pleased that the amendment asking for a biennial report to this Parliament from the Commission was adopted, and I very much hope that Parliament and Commission together can use that to consolidate some of this work.
Jeg blev også glad for at se, at punkt 10 i betænkningen af van Velzen »understreger, at forsyningspligtydelser udgør et udviklingskoncept, som på længere sigt kan udbygges«.
I was also glad to see that paragraph 10 of Mr Van Velzen's report 'stresses that universal service is an evolving concept which can eventually be expanded'.
Det kan godt være, at han og jeg er uenige om, hvor hurtigt udbyggelsen skal gå, men det er meget vigtigt, at det i dokumenter som dette anerkendes, at der kan være behov for at ændre vores definition i takt med den teknologiske udvikling og markedsudviklingen.
He and I might disagree on the pace of that expansion but it is very important for documents like this to acknowledge that there is a case for changing our definition as develop ments in technology and on the market move forward.
Og så spørgsmålet om leveringen af forsyningspligtydelsen.
And then there is the matter of supplying the universal service.
Man må, som Kommissionen angiver i denne meddelelse, ikke automatisk gå ud fra, at den nuværende udbyder af forsyningspligtydelsen på et frit marked skal for sætte med leveringen heraf.
As the Commission indicates in this communica tion, it may not automatically be assumed that the current provider of the universal service must continue to provide the service in a free market.
For forskellige regioner i et land, skal der kunne anvises forskellige leverandører.
It must also be possible to designate different suppliers for different regions of a country.
Det er et vigtigt spørgsmål, for jeg mener også, at den virksomhed, der er i stand til at levere forsyningspligtydelsen på de bedste vilkår og mest effektivt, også skal gøre det. Det passer på det liberaliserede marked.
That is an essential issue, because I also believe that the company that can supply a universal service under the best conditions and most efficiendy, must also do this.
Leveringen af ydelsen kan i øvrigt have vigtige kommercielle fordele og marketingsfordele for televirksomheden.
The supply of the service can, moreover, have considerable commercial and marketing advantages for the telecom company.
Ved beregningen af nettoomkostningerne bør der her også tages hensyn til den såkaldte pay or p/ay-metode.
In calculating the net costs, account should also be taken here of the 'pay or play' approach.
Men det finder man ikke noget om i den nuværende lovgivning.
But this is not to be found in the current legislation.
Jeg håber, at kommissæren vil overveje de punkter, der allerede er fremhævet, for her har vi et eksempel på, at Europas borgere, både hvad angår definitionen og finansieringen af forsyningspligtydelser, virkelig kan få en reel gevinst i deres hverdag, både i privat- og arbejdslivet, fra Den Europæiske Unions arbejde.
I hope that the Commissioner will give consideration to the points that have already been raised, because this is an example where, both in the definition and in the funding of universal service, the citizens of Europe can derive some very real value in their own personal, domestic and business lives from what is coming out of the European Union.
Jeg gør mig således bekymringer om den klarhed, som operatørerne i øjeblikket kan arbejde med, hvor det drejer sig om finansiering af forsyningspligtydelsen.
I am therefore worried about the clarity with which the operators can work at the moment with regard to the matter of financing a universal service.'
Jeg spørger indtrængende kommissæren, om han er villig til at frem lægge en teknisk revision af denne meddelelse.
I would ask the Commissioner urgently whether he is prepared to under take a technical review of this communication.
Read (PSE). - (EN) Fru formand, jeg vil gerne begynde med at lykønske ordføreren, hr. van Velzen, med hans grundige arbejde, som vi jo efterhånden forventer af ham.
Read (PSE). - Madam President, I wish to begin by congratulating the rapporteur, Mr van Velzen, on a thorough piece of work, as we have come to expect of him.
Ribeiro (GUE/NGL). - (PT) Fru formand, hr. kommissær, kære kolleger, denne betænkning er en del af en strategi for forandring, der går via privatisering af sektorer, der førhen var forbundet med offentlig service.
Ribeiro (GUE/NGL). - (PT) Madam President, Mr Com missioner, ladies and gentiemen, this report is part of a strategy for change working through the privatization of sectors of activity which are linked to a notion or concept of public service.
Selvom det er en EU-strategi, for ikke at sige en universel strategi, så varierer måden, som den føres ud i livet på, uundgåeligt nok meget mellem de forskellige medlemsstater og resulterer i en mangfoldighed af fortolkninger og i en forskellig implanteringsrytme, hvilket ordføreren til at begynde med understreger, idet han taler om store for skelle i fortolkning, i spredning, eftersom han jo især er optaget af det usikre investeringsklima og af konkunenceproblemer.
This being the Community, not to say the universal, strategy, it is inevitably taking shape in a very different way in the various Member States and giving rise to a variety of interpretations and rates of implementation, which the rapporteur begins by emphasizing, speaking, indeed, of great divergencies in interpre-
