Og jeg kan ikke forstå, at man på baggrund af så mager en dagsorden ikke, som så mange medlemmer har fremsat ønske om, udvider dagsordenen, således at man kan begrunde denne yderligere mødeperiode i Bruxelles.
In any event I give you firm notice that I shall not need violence to be used to force me to leave the building this evening.
FORMANDEN. - Hr. Prag, som mangeårigt medlem af denne forsamling har De et præcist kendskab til forretningsordenen og til Parlamentets praksis.
PRAG (PPE). - Mr President, I rise as Chairman of the Intergroup on Disablement to support Mr McMahon.
Ingen har fremsat et forslag om, at der opføres et sådant punkt på dagsordenen.
This hémicycle is the only large debating chamber in Europe which is totally accessible to disabled people.
Og det blev heller ikke anført, at sagen var uopsættelig, hvorfor vi ikke behøver at afgøre noget her i dag.
It is no use offering them either the Luxembourg or the Strasbourg hémicycles, because both are quite inaccessible to disabled people in wheelchairs.
Der er sikkert mange kolleger, som er rede til at tage ordet til dette spørgsmål, men vi bliver nødt til at gøre vort arbejde færdigt.
Moreover, some parliaments keep their debating chambers exclusively for their own use, but by no means all of them.
Det sagde hr. De Vries helt rigtigt.
I have taken part in a meeting in the chamber of the Bundestag in Bonn which had nothing to do with the parliament.
Hvis De ønsker det, kan De med henblik på næste plenarmøde fremsætte et forslag, som skal foreligge skriftligt en time før mødets begyndelse.
PRESIDENT. - Mr Wijsenbeek, I am going to contact the Commission and the Commission must, of course, get in touch with Mr Van den Broek and see if this is possible.
Europadagen for handicappede finder sted i december.
It is looking for ways of making a statement tomorrow morning and I will let you know as soon as possible whether this can be done.
Jeg vil gerne give Dem en redegørelse for den aktuelle situation med hensyn til GATT.
I am sure a number of Members would be only too willing to speak on this subject but we must get on with our agenda.
et eneste land om genforhandling af aftalen.
We are talking about something which is planned for December.
Rådet udarbejdede ikke et nyt mandat til Kommissionen, hvilket havde været nødvendigt, hvis der havde været tale om en genforhandling.
It also considered the important question of agriculture as well as the other issues at stake for the European Community in the negotiations.
Det var på det grundlag, jeg i mandags tog til Washington og mødtes, ikke blot med hr. Kantor, men også med finansminister Bentsen, for at drøfte hele emnerækken for GATT-forhandlingerne.
BRITTAN, Sir Leon, Vice-President of the Commission. - Mr President, it is fitting that the important subject of GATT should be the first substantial subject to be discussed in this splendid new chamber that Parliament is inaugurating today.
Jeg er nu kommet for at fortælle Dem om udfaldet af disse drøftelser.
I would like to give you the latest situation as far as GATT is concerned.
Det ville ikke blot give europæisk økonomi en fornyet på fremtiden tro på et tidspunkt, hvor der er hårdt brug for det.
Not only will this bring a boost of confidence to the European economy at a time when it is badly needed.
Det ville også skabe mulighed for en forøgelse af Det Europæiske Fællesskabs eksport fra sidste del af 1995.
It will also lead to the opportunity of greater exports from the European Community from the later period of 1995.
Det ville bremse ensidig magtanvendelse for at løse handelskonflikter.
It will constrain the use of unilateral power to handle trade disputes.
Det ville føre til, at GATT blev afløst af et stærkere organ, en multilateral handelsorganisation, der langt mere effektivt ville kunne overvåge og kontrollere den måde, hvorpå konflikter håndteres. Men det ville frem for alt sikre den fortsatte beståen af Det Europæiske Fællesskabs politikker vedrørende tekstilvarer, kultur, landbrug, Airbus'en og stål; på alle disse områder er det nødvendigt at beskytte vore politikker, som i øjeblikket, med de eksisterende GATT-regler, er sårbare over for angreb.
It will replace the GATT with a stronger body, a multilateral trade organization, able to police and to control the handling of disputes in a far more effective way.
Sådan er den udfordring, vi står over for, og vi har gjort væsentlige fremskridt hen mod en løsning af problemer ne og mod en fuldførelse af GATT-runden.
It is on that basis that I went and met not only Mr Kantor but also Secretary Bentsen to discuss the whole range of the GATT negotiations in Washington last Monday.
Vi tog et stort spring fremad i juli måned i Japan, hvor vi ikke alene nåede til enighed om fuldstændig toldfrihed på en række områder, men også om en ramme for de resterende forhandlinger.
We made a big step forward in Japan last July when we reached agreement on a number of areas where there would be no tariffs at all and where we also reached agreement on a framework for the remainder of the negotiations.
Jeg vil først koncentrere mig om alle de ikke-landbrugs-mæssige aspekter af forhandlingerne.
I will deal first of all with the non-agricultural aspects of the negotiations.
Jeg blev overrasket over, hvor hastende, hr. Kantor anså opgaven for at være.
I was struck by the urgency with which Mr Kantor approached the task.
Han understregede over for mig, at vi kun havde 79 dage at gøre forhandlingerne færdige i.
He stressed to me that we only had 79 days to complete the negotiations.
I dag er kun 77 dage tilbage at gøre forhandlingerne færdige i.
Today we only have 77 days to complete the negotiations.
Vi var begge enige om, at der kun var få udestående spørgsmål. Der var store vanskeligheder forbundet med at løse dem, men det var politiske vanskeligheder.
We both agreed that the number of outstanding issues was small.
Kunne vi nå frem en politisk løsning på vanskelighederne, ville der være tid nok til at gøre runden færdig.
If we achieved a political resolution of those difficulties we had the time to com plete the round.
Vi drøftede, i alle aspekter, hvert enkelt udestående punkt, spørgsmålet om marked sadgang for varer og spørgsmålet om markedsadgang for tjenesteydelser.
And we discussed each one of the outstanding points, the question of market access in goods, the question of market access in services, in all their aspects.
Rådet har siden drøftet spørgsmålet på en udvidet samling den 20. september.
Since then the Council has considered the matter at a jumbo Council on 20 September.
Lad mig erindre forsamlingen om de afgørelser, Rådet traf.
Let me remind the House of the decisions the Council took.
For det første bekræftede Rådet selv betydningen af, at man nåede til en afslutning på GATT-runden.
First of all, the Council itself reaffirmed the importance of reaching a conclusion to the GATT round.
For det andet godkendte det datoen den 15. december som det tidspunkt, hvor forhandlingerne skulle være ført til ende.
Secondly, the Council accepted 15 December as being the date by which those negotiations should be completed.
Jeg vil gerne understrege over for Parlamentet, at vi ikke dermed accepterede en amerikansk deadline. Vi var selv med til at foreslå den 15. december som frist.
In doing so, let me remind the House that we were not accepting an American deadline.
Ja, vi bad faktisk amerikanerne om at gå med til en tidligere frist.
Indeed if anything we asked the Americans to accept an earlier deadline.
Ydermere kan jeg forsikre Parlamentet, at dette ikke kun er et spørgsmål om Det Europæiske Fællesskab og USA.
Moreover, I can assure the House that it is not just a question of the European Community and the United States.
Vi har brug for en samlet GATT-aftale.
') and motions for resolutions
Lad mig gøre det helt klart. Det blev antydet, at Blair House-aftalen er uforenelig med reformen af den fælles landbrugspolitik.
It is time for you to come forward with your offers, or your improved offers, and to join in those negotiations active ly.
Rådet vedtog ikke en afgørelse med det indhold.
The progress that we have made is sufficient to justify
Dernæst kom vi til landbrugsspørgsmålet.
Deadline for tabling amendments Speaking time: see Minutes
Sir Leon BRITTAN res uden en formel genforhandling af Blair House aftalen.
BRITTAN, Sir Leon threat in GATT and elsewhere almost as long as it has existed.
Og det var ikke kun drøftelserne i Rådet, men også det, der ved adskillige lejligheder er blevet sagt i Europa-Parlamentet, der gjorde det muligt for mig at forstå de forskellige idéers varierende betydning og de udtrykte bekymringers art. De blev alle fremført energisk over for hr. Kantor.
I found, for example, for the first time in the United States not a solution to the problem of culture but at least an understanding that culture is not the same as ordinary physical goods, that there is a specificity about this sector that has to be recognized in the outcome of the negotia tions.
Vi holder næste møde med hr. Kantor her i Bruxelles den 13. oktober.
So Mr Kantor said that he could give no assurances whatsoever.
Før da vil eksperter fra begge sider mødes for at drøfte en række spørgsmål.
He insisted that the Blair House Agreement could not be renegotiated.
Når vi mødes den 13. oktober, vil vi fortsætte drøftelserne, om såvel landbrug som andre emner.
As to the question of whether the changes - not renegotiation - that I put forward were acceptable to the United States, he made it clear that he could give no opinion instantly.
Jeg er sikker på, at vi til sidst kommer igennem med, at alle disse problemer må løses, hvis GATT-runden skal føre til et positivt resultat.
If we are serious about this matter it is an answer that one would expect.
Jeg har indtrængende henstillet til dem, at de i egen og den internationale handels interesse udviser den fleksibilitet, der skal til for at nå til et positivt resultat.
You could not expect one member of the United States Administration, however distinguished, hearing these proposals in detail for the first time, to give an instant answer.
Og et splittet og svækket Europæisk Fællesskab er ikke i USA's interesse, fordi USA har brug for os i dette samarbejde på globalt plan.
I think that we see the glimmerings of the beginning of a solution to that problem, even though there is much negotiating still to be done.
(Bifald)
So we left it at that.
Han understregede naturligvis USA's problemer.
I happened to mention the audiovisual area, but there are many others as well.
Parlamentet må forstå, at Blair House-aftalen i USA - ikke kun i USA, men også i Cairns-gruppens og Rio-gruppens lande - betragtes som noget, der er til gavn for Fællesskabet, og ikke som en stor amerikansk gevinst.
And of course the handling of all these issues has to be done together on a global basis and urgently because, as I have said, we only have 77 days left.
De gik i alt væsentligt ind for Blair House-kompromiset, men krævede samtidig nærmere oplysninger og de nødvendige tilføjelser.
I put forward every single one of the suggestions that had been made by our agricultural community for ways of improving the agricultural settlement without formally renegotiating the Blair House Agreement.
I sidste ende fulgte Rådet denne kloge løsning, der gjorde det muligt at undgå splittelse af EF.
There was no proposal, large or small, which I did not put forward, some with variations, some quite simply.
Jeg er sikker på, at den også vil muliggøre gennemførelse af Uruguay-Runden. Sir Leon Brittan har netop redegjort for sine drøftelser med Mickey Kantor.
And the debate in the Council and also what has been said on numerous occasions in Parliament enabled me to appreciate the varying weight attached to the different ideas, and the kind of concerns expressed.
Nu skal Kommissionen, forhåbentlig med Europa-Parlamentets støtte, afslutte drøftelserne med amerikanerne.
All of those were put forward vigorously to Mr Kantor.
Jeg vil imidlertid gerne ganske kort uddybe den ånd, hvori jeg ser Kommissionens skridt for landbrugets vedkommende.
We will be having the next meeting with Mr Kantor here in Brussels on 13 October.
Jeg vil begynde med et par ord om den meget omtalte Blair Houseaftale.
Before then the experts on both sides will be meeting to discuss a number of issues.
Den har affødt mange kommentarer og en del kritik for ikke at sige polemik.
When we meet on 13 October we will continue the discussions, both on agriculture and on these other issues.
I realiteten er Blair House-aftalen resultatet af lange og vanskelige forhandlinger, der indebærer ret væsentlige forbedringer af Dunkels forslag til slutakt, der udgjorde forhandlingsgrundlaget.
I am sure that we will be able eventually to make it quite clear that we must resolve all these issues if we are to have a successful conclusion to the GATT round.
Hr. Kantor sagde, at han ikke kunne give nogen tilsagn overhovedet.
I cannot tell you exactly how it will all end.
Han fastholdt, at Blair House-aftalen ikke kunne genforhandles. Med hensyn til, om USA kunne acceptere de ændringer - ikke genforhandling - som jeg forelagde, sagde han, at han ikke kunne udtale sig umiddelbart.
I have urged them, in their interests and in the interests of the world trading com munity, to show the necessary flexibility to reach a successful conclusion.
Det er, ud fra en seriøs betragtning, det svar, man kunne forvente.
Cooperation between the United States and the European Community is important in areas going beyond trade: in handling the Middle East, in handling Russia and in handling many other problems, even perhaps in the future the problems of Yugoslavia after the war.
Man havde ikke kunnet forvente, at et medlem af USA's regering, der hørte disse forslag for første gang, uanset hvor fremtrædende han var, skulle svare med det samme.
And a divided and weakened European Community is not in the United States' interest because it needs us for this process of cooperation in the world.
Jeg vil gerne gentage, at disse forbedringer i alt væsentligt omfatter fire punkter: For det første indeholder den foreløbige aftale en fredsklausul. For det andet fritager den landbrugsreformens støtteordninger for alle forpligtelser til nedskæring af intern støtte.
That is the state of play as it stands, but you can rest assured that the Commission will - not only in the area of agriculture but in all other areas - continue the negotia tions, seeking a positive conclusion not only with the United States but with all our trading partners in the interests of world trade, in the interests of European industry and agriculture, in order to achieve that boost of confidence and that impetus to the European economy which we so desperately need and which we can certainly attain.
For det tredje reducerer den nedskæringen af subventioneret eksport fra 24 til 21 %, og endelig indeholder den en høringsklausul i tilfælde af stigende import af kornerstatningsprodukter.
STEICHEN, Member of the Commission. - (FR) Mr President, I should like to thank Parliament for giving the Commission the opportunity today to deal with the question of the Uruguay Round and particularly the agricultural section following the conclusions of the recent Jumbo Council.
Vi lod det derfor blive ved det.
In any event a GATT round that was jeopardized by a dispute of this kind was not in the interests of the United States from a trade point of view either.
Han er selvfølgelig klar over og forstår, at vi forventer et svar inden for en passende frist, ligesom vi også forventer et svar vedrørende alle de øvrige områder, hvor europæisk erhvervsliv har bekymringer, både med hensyn til varer og tjeneste ydelser.
So I urged him to show the necessary flexibility to be able to respond to the concerns of the European Community, to complete the negotiations on other matters but to respond on agricul ture as well.
Jeg nævnte tilfældigvis det audiovisuelle område, men derer mange andre.
As you will expect, since I was putting the proposals in detail to Mr Kantor for the first time, he was not in a position to respond.
Og alle disse spørgsmål skal selvfølgelig behandles samtidig, på et samlet grundlag og som en hastesag, eftersom der, som sagt, kun er 77 dage tilbage.
He of course underlined the difficulties for the United States. The House must under stand that in the United States - and not only in the United States but also in the countries of the Cairns Group, in the countries of the Rio Group, and in most other parts of the world - the Blair House deal is regarded as something that is beneficial to the Community and not a great success for the United States.
Kommissionen vil bestræbe sig på at udforske alle de anførte veje i den faste hensigt ikke at begrænse spørgsmålene til landbrugsaspektet alene.
I think in particular of the willing ness, unanimously expressed, not to call in question by means of the Uruguay Round the main principles on which the common agricultural policy is based, that is, its permanent nature, or Community preference, or our place on the world market.
Uden en samlet opfattelse af forhandlingerne vil ethvert håb om fremskridt i den af Rådet ønskede retning være forgæves.
The Commission is entirely in favour of it and it is in this spirit that I see our discussions with the Americans in the coming months.
synspunkter mellem Sir Leon Brittan og Mickey Kantor, kan efter Kommissionens opfattelse ikke drage de af mig netop nævnte forbedringer i tvivl.
But perhaps I may say a little more about the spirit in which I understand the Commission's steps as regards the agricultural sector.
Jeg gentager, at genoptagelse af sagen risikerer at føre til et ringere resultat end det, Kommissionen opnåede i Blair House.
In fact Blair House is the result of long and difficult negotiations making fairly substantial improvements to Mr Dunkel's draft final act, which was the basis of the negotiations.
Vi ønsker også endnu en gang at benytte denne forhandling til at give de to kommissærer denne støtte i et forsøg på inden årets udgang at nå frem til en faktisk afslutning.
To reject our requests straight away would amount to taking responsibility for the failure of trade negotiations, whereas it must be possible to find a way to allay the fears of some of our Member States.
Vi ved, hvor vanskeligt det er, og også hvor vanskeligt det har været i den forløbne tid, men al den støtte, som kommissærerne har brug for, må de forvente i Europa-Parlamentet.
I do not think the Americans are out to obstruct things, or that that would be in their interests, but they clearly need a little time to evaluate the questions we have put to them, which are mentioned in the conclusions of the Jumbo Council.
Det er min gruppes udgangspunkt i denne forhandling: At give støtte til vore forhandlere i den vanskelige periode, at give støtte så de kan nå frem til en positiv afslutning, og vi står 100% bag de ord, kommissærerne har udtalt med hensyn til den betydning, som en positiv afslutning af GATT-runden har for os.
The talks which the Council has asked the Commission to continue with the Americans in the agricultural sphere, and the first exchange of views on which took place at Monday's meeting between Sir Leon and Mickey Kantor cannot, in the Commission's view, call in question the improvements I have just mentioned.
Forhandlingerne minder ofte om en, jeg vil næsten sige ægte natprocession.
I can only repeat that reopening this subject would risk achieving a worse result than that obtained by the Commission at Blair House.
To skridt frem og et tilbage. Og undertiden ser det endog ud til, at vi i stedet for to skridt frem og et tilbage tager et skridt frem og to tilbage.
For its part, the Commission will set to work to explore all the avenues mentioned, with the firm intention of not restricting questions to the agricultural section alone.
Og vi befinder os så ofte atter ved udgangspunktet. tet.
Without a global view of the negotiations there can be no hope of making progress in the direction desired by the Council.
Som kommissær med landbruget som særligt ansvarsområde vil jeg for det andet også højtideligt erklære, at Kommissionen ikke kan tolerere, at den af os indledte afklaring på den ene eller anden måde går ud over landbrugsreformen.
In the second place, as the Commissioner responsible for agriculture, I should also like to state formally that the Commission could not accept any threat of any kind to the CAP reform from the clarification procedure upon which we have embarked.
Det er sagt for tit, at hypoteserne om forenelighed mellem Blair House-aftalen og den fælles landbrugspolitik skulle være grundlæggende ændret efter indgåelsen af den foreløbige aftale.
It has been too frequently suggested that ideas on the compatibility between Blair House and the CAP have fundamentally changed since the preliminary agreement was signed.
Det er det samme som at sige, at reformen er i færd med at svigte sine mål.
That amounts to saying that the reform is failing to meet its objectives.
Visse parametre synes snarere at udvikle sig henimod vore forudsigelser.
Some of the parameters actually seem to be moving more in the direction of our forecasts.
Således ligger de nytilsåede arealer til dette års høst under de ved reformens udarbejdelse opstillede overslag.
Thus the areas sown for this year's harvest are well within the forecasts made when the reform was worked out.
Kornhøsten kommer sandsynligvis også til at ligge under overslagene.
The cereals harvest itself will very probably be less than these forecasts.
Hvad lagerbeholdningerne angår, er situationen blevet væsentligt bedre inden for oksekødsektoren, hvor interventionsbidragene har kunnet holdes på et minimum.
As regards stocks, there has been a clear improvement in the beef and veal sector, where it has been possible to keep amounts taken into intervention to a minimum.
For korns vedkommende er lagerbeholdningerne ganske vist større nu end i november i fjor, hvor EF foretog en undersøgelse af reformens kompatibilitet med Blair Houseaftalen. Men man bør kun sammenligne det, der kan sammenlignes.
It is true that for cereals present stocks are higher than last November when the Commission made a study of the compatibility of the reform with Blair House.
Ved indeværende høstårs udløb skulle beholdningerne ligge omkring 34,1 mio tons, hvilket endda er lidt mindre end overslaget, der lå på 34,3 mio tons, da vi udarbejdede det foreløbige forslag til budget for 1994.
At the end of this marketing year stocks should be roughly 34.1 m tonnes, which is actually slightly less than forecasts, namely 34.3 m tonnes when we worked out the preliminary draft budget for 1994.
Men det problem hængerikke udelukkende sammen Uruguay-Runden, men også og måske frem for alt med budgettet og med reformens gennemførelse. Altså skal vi fortsat vise stor årvågenhed.
We wish to take the opportunity of this debate again to promise that support to both Commissioners in an attempt to reach an actual conclusion before the end of the year.
Sådan har jeg opfattet det, og jeg er også glad for disse ord.
We know how hard it is, and has been in the past, but the Commissioners may expect in the European Parliament all the support they need.
Jeg havde gerne set lidt flere konkrete løfter i den forstand, at denne optimisme ikke alene kun til udtryk i den generelle vurdering, men også i fremskridt på alle områder, men jeg forstår også, at man under denne forhandlingsproces handler med stor forsigtighed, for ellers ødelægger man hurtigt det hele igen, hvilket så igen fører til tilbageskridt i stedet for fremgang.
That is my Group's starting point in this debate, to give support to our negotiators in this difficult period, to give support so that they may round things off success fully, and we are 100% behind what the Commissioners have said about the importance for us of a successful conclusion to the GATT round.
Nu vil jeg sige et par ord om, hvad der skal ske efter Jumbo-Rådets konklusioner.
The negotiations often look like a real night-time procession I might almost say: two steps forward, one step back.
Det tilslutter Kommissionen sig fuldt ud, og det er i denne ånd, at jeg opfatter vore kommende forhandlinger med amerikanerne.
And sometimes it even seems that instead of two steps forward and one step back we are taking one step forward and two back, often getting right back to the beginning.
