Konklusionen på disse tre undersøgelser er, at der kan spares op til 2.000 liv om året, og at man kan undgå 20.000 tilfælde af alvorlig legemsbeskadigelse ved at vedtage dette nye direktiv om at gøre biler mere sikre for fodgængere og cyklister.
When does the Commission expect to come forward with the proposal for a Directive requiring safer car fronts for pedestrians and cyclists which is anticipated for introduction in 1998 in the Commission's Second Action Programme for Road Safety?
Man kan naturligvis gå endnu videre, for en sådan nummerviser kan føre til, at abonnenterne principielt ikke vil tage telefonen, hvis de ikke kender den, der ringer op.
According to available figures, malicious telephone calls are on the increase across Europe. Telecom Eir-
Bangemann uden at den opkaldendes telefonnummer videregives, kan man - hvis man ønsker det - automatisk afvise et sådant opkald.
President eann last year dealt with some 30 000 formal com plaints from customers.
Jeg mener, at det i princippet skulle yde en god beskyttelse mod sådanne telefonopringninger.
In Ireland such calls are con sidered as a criminal offence with fines and/or prison sentences available for malicious calls.
Den ret, som findes i Tyskland, må vel ud fra en lighedsbetragtning også gælde for Sverige.
If Sweden chooses to stay outside EU exchange rate cooperation, would it still be able to join in the single currency?
Spørgsmål til hr. de Silguy
I should like to welcome Mr de Silguy and ask him to re ply to Mr Sjöstedt's question. '
Formanden. - Spørgsmål nr. 59 af Jonas Sjöstedt (H-0734/98):
I give the floor to Mr Bangemann to answer Mr An drews's question.
Om: EU-medlemskab og ØMU de Silguy. - (FR) Nej, jeg vil gerne gøre det helt klart, at traktaten er yderst eksplicit.
de Silguy, Member of the Commission. - (FR) Sweden, like any Member State, has undertaken to satisfy the con ditions for entry to economic and monetary union.
For to lande, nemlig Dan mark og Det Forenede Kongerige, findes der den mulig hed, man kalder opting out, det vil sige, at selvom betingelserne for overgangen til euroen er til stede, kan og skal disse lande oplyse om, hvorvidt de ønsker at deltage i Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union.
The Treaty states that a Member State which fails to fulfil the conditions for entry to the third stage of economic and monetary union will be granted exemption.
Deltagelsen er en rettighed i Unionen, og der findes ingen diskrimination mellem medlemsstaterne.
Bangemann, Member of the Commission. - (DE) Mr President, we have a legal basis to prevent such telephone calls in so far as is possible.
I denne henseende er traktaten klar: Den er blev vedtaget punktligt og enstemmigt af samtlige stats-og regeringschefer den 2. maj.
This is Directive 97/66/EC of 15 December 1997, on the processing of personal data and protection of privacy in telecommunications.
I et interview i de svenske medier udtalte den svenske nationalbankdirektør, Urban Bäckström, sig for nylig om en mulig svensk deltagelse i ØMU'ens tredje fase.
In its report on convergence of 25 March 1998, the Com mission recalled that the Swedish currency has never par ticipated in the exchange rate mechanism.
Ifølge Bäckström kan Sverige i fremtiden blive tvunget til at vælge enten at deltage fuldt ud i ØMU'en el ler at forlade EU.
In the course of the two years under review, the Danish krone fluctuated against the currencies participating in the exchange rate mechanism, reflecting, among other things, the non-existence of a target exchange rate.
Formanden. - Spørgsmål nr. 60 af Esko Seppänen (H-0735/98):
The Commission therefore rightly concluded that Sweden did not satisfy the convergence criteria referred to in the third indent of Article 109j(l) of the Treaty.
Om: Koordinering af EU-landenes økonomiske poli tik
On 2 May last, the European Council accepted this Commission recommendation. ommendation.
Har EU nogen muligheder for at udelukke et land, som ikke ønsker den fælles valuta?
While we are on the subject, in the recently adopted directive on voice telephony, Member States are asked for the dates on which calling line identification will be introduced.
Hvis Sverige også i fremtiden ønsker at stå uden for EU's valutakurssamarbejde, har landet da nogen mulighed til trods for dette at deltage i den fælles valuta?
This will enable users, before they pick up the receiver, to see from the number displayed whether the caller is someone they know, and whether they wish to take the call.
Det fastsættes i traktaten, at en medlemsstat, som ikke opfylder tiltrædelsesbetingelserne i tredje fase af Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union, kan opnå dispensation.
If the caller were to withhold their telephone number, then in accordance with the directive, it should be possible for the subscriber to de cline the call automatically.
Dette er tilfældet for Sverige, men det betyder ikke, og herom er der ingen tvivl, at Sverige ikke forbliver medlem af Den Europæiske Union.
This means that if a telephone call were to come in and the number of the caller were not passed on, then it could automatically be refused, if that is what the subscriber wished to do.
Ansvaret for ØMU-landenes pengepolitik ligger hos Den Europæiske Centralbank (ECB), som ikke er underlagt nogen form for politisk kontrol eller ansvar.
Bonde (I-EDN). - (DA) I am deputising for Jonas Sjöstedt in putting his question.
Den har monopol på pengepolitikken.
I wish him luck in the Swedish elections, and the same to all good anti-Union candidates in Sweden.
Stabilitetspagten fra Dublin, som blev bekræftet i Bruxelles, overvåges derimod af Rådet, der har monopol på koordineringen af EU-landenes finanspolitik. EU's økonomiske politik synes dermed at ligge uden for Kom missionens ansvarsområde.
I want to ask whether it is not right that Sweden, regardless of the terms of the Treaty, should enjoy the same status as Germany following the Karlsruhe judgment, under which Germany acquired the right through a decision of the Bundestag to decide for itself whether it wanted to participate in the third stage of monetary union or not.
Hvilken rolle indtager Kommissionen i beslutningstagningen om EU's økonomiske politik, og hvad mener den, at der bør gøres for at rette op på det demokratiske underskud i penge politikken?
That right, enjoyed by Germany, should surely also apply to Sweden on the grounds of equal treatment.
Hr. kommissær, jeg beder Dem besvare hr. Seppänens spørgsmål.
President - Thank you, Mr Bangemann.
I løbet af referenceperioden fulgte den danske krone de valutaer, der deltager i valutakursmekanismen, hvilket bl.a. viser, at der ikke eksisterer et mål for valutakurs.
That brings us to the end of the questions to Mr Bangemann, whom I should like to thank for his replies.
Det Europæiske Råd godtog den 2. maj denne henstilling fra Kommissionen. sionen.
(FR) No, I would very clearly point out that the Treaty is extremely explicit.
Konklusionen er stadig gældende, dog vil Kommissionen gerne minde om, at tiltrædelsesbetingelserne til Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union vil være fuldstændig ens for lande, der deltager i anden fase og for de lande, der har vedtaget at indføre euroen fra 1. januar 1999.
For two countries, namely Denmark and the United Kingdom, there is what is known as an opt-out clause, which means that even if the conditions for switching to the euro are fulfilled, these countries can and must state whether or not they wish to participate in economic and monetary union.
Først og fremmest spiller Kommissionen en stor rolle i koordineringen af de økonomiske politikker også fra den 1. januar.
For all other European Union countries, the criteria apply as from the moment when the conditions are fulfilled.
Bonde (I-EDN). - Jeg har overtaget spørgsmålet for Jo nas Sjöstedt, som jeg gerne vil ønske et godt valg her ved
According to him, Sweden could in future be obliged to choose between full participation in EMU and leaving the EU.
Nr. 4-524/81 de Silguy miske politikker i Den Europæiske Union.
No 4-524/81
Dernæst sikrer Kommissionen fortsættelsen af den multilaterale over vågning, hvad enten det handler om udvikling af med lemsstaternes budgetmæssige situation eller gæld.
President - Question No 60 by Esko Seppänen (H-0735/98) cil on the same basis and, as is the case for the Commission, the General Council of the ECB.
I denne henseende kan proceduren om uforholdsmæssige store underskud, fastsat i artikel 104C i traktaten, ikke iværksættes uden en specifik henstilling fra Kommissionen. Og desuden minder jeg om, at stabilitets-og vækstpagten klart bekræfter denne essentielle bestemmelse i traktaten.
On the more specific subject of democratic control of economic and monetary union, a subject which has been frequently debated in this House - and rightly so - the Com mission has always considered that independence and di alogue not only can but must go together, and that an ongoing dialogue between the institutions, which respects their individual competences and tasks, is the only way to develop a mix of balanced, flourishing policies which are favourable to growth and employment.
For resten vil Kommissionen inden for rammerne af artikel 109 i traktaten leve op til hele sit ansvar, navnlig med hensyn til definitionen af Europas fælles holdninger og Europas repræsentation i internationale kredse.
The stability pact drawn up at Dublin and confirmed at Brussels is monitored by the Council, which has a monopoly of the coordination of the EU countries' finance policies. Thus the EU's economic policy appears to fall outside the area of the Commission's responsibility.
I overensstemmelse med traktaten vil den frem sætte de nødvendige forslag, så Rådet kan træffe afgørelse, og så Den Europæiske Union er repræsenteret og fremover effektivt og med den ønskede repræsentativitet kan forsvare sine interesser i store internationale, mone tære eller andre slags forhandlinger.
What is the Commission's role in decision-making on EU economic policy, and what does it think could be done to rectify the democratic deficit in monetary policy?
Formanden. - Spørgsmål nr. 61 af Paul Rübig (H-0737/98): Om: Eurosedlernes værdi
Seppänen (GUE/NGL). - (FI) Mr President, I would like to thank the Commissioner for a theoretical answer that was, to my mind, extremely comprehensive.
Endelig råder Kommissionen over en henstillingsbeføjelse med hensyn til valutapolitik i overensstemmelse med artikel 109 i traktaten.
de Silguy, Member of the Commission. - (FR) I thank Mr Seppänen for his question, which allows me to explain that, as in the case of the switch to the euro, the Commission's role in the management device for economic and monetary union is central.
Og jeg kan forsikre Dem for, at Kommissionen på samtlige punkter vil fortsætte med at leve op til det ansvar, den pålægges i traktaten.
The particular responsibilities of each institution, including those of the Commission, are defined in the Treaty.
I traktaten betros desuden Den Europæiske Centralbank ansvaret for at bestemme og føre den monetære politik, og den sikres total uafhængighed.
So we are ultimately unable to say at the outset whether the euro will be strong or weak compared to the dollar, as nobody in the world today is able to guarantee the stability of exchange rates.
Men uafhængighed betyder ikke isolation.
What is a country's budgetary policy?
Jeg kan forsikre Dem om, at jeg for mit ved kommende deltager i samtlige Styrelsesråd.
What is its monetary policy? What are the wage trends?
Spørgsmålet om euromønternes værdi blev behandlet udførligt under Europa-Parlamentets mødeperioder i november og december.
First of all, the Commission plays a major role in coordinating economic policy, and will continue to do so as from 1 January next year.
For mange brugere rejser der sig imidlertid spørgsmålet om de nye pengesedlers på lydende værdi.
I would remind you that this document constitutes the framework instrument for coordinating economic policy in the Union.
Næsten halvdelen af alle de østrigske pengesedler, der er i omløb, er 20- og 50- schillingsedler.
Subsequently, the Commission is responsible for multilateral follow-up and monitoring, whether of the developing budgetary situation or the debt of Member States.
Den mindste euroseddel (5 euro) svarer derimod til en værdi på ca. 70 schilling.
In this respect, the pro cedure in the event of excessive deficits, as laid down in Article 104c of the Treaty, cannot be implemented with out a specific recommendation from the Commission.
Heroverfor kan prægningerne »euro-cent« på den mindre valuta enhed føre til forvekslinger med euromønterne.
I would also draw your attention to the stability and growth pact, which clearly confirms this essential Treaty provision. sion.
Hvad mere præcist angår den demokratiske kontrol med Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union, der gentagne gange er blevet diskuteret her i Parlamentet, har Kommissionen altid ment, at uafhængighed og dialog ikke alene kan men skal følges ad, og at kun en vedvarende dialog mellem institutionerne i overensstemmelse med deres kompetencer og opgaver kan medføre udvikling i Europa, en udvikling, som består af en blanding af afbalancerede politikker, til gavn for vækst og beskæftigelse.
The important thing for the Commission is to ensure that the euro is a stable currency which can be used for most of our trading and which will therefore protect us against exchange rate fluctuations and make us less dependent on movements in the dollar. For the rest, pursuant to Article 109 of the Treaty, the Commission will assume its full responsibilities, especially when it comes to defining Europe's joint positions and its representation on interna tional bodies.
Hvis der dermed - som eksperter frygter - i realiteten sker en firedobling af den møntmængde, der i øjeblik ket er i omløb, rejser der sig det spørgsmål, om man ikke bør overveje senere at indføre pengesedler lydende på 1 og/eller 2 euro, og hvordan skal borgerne forberedes på denne situation? Hvordan ser Kommissionen på disse spørgsmål?
In accordance with the Treaty, it will make the necessary recommendations to ensure that the Council can take decisions and to ensure that, during major inter national negotiations, whether monetary or otherwise, the European Union is represented and able to defend its in terests as well and effectively as it would wish.
Hr. de Silguy, jeg beder Dem besvare hr. Riibigs spørgsmål. mål.
President - Question No 61 by Paul Rübig (H-0737/98) Subject: Denominating EURO banknotes
Jeg stiller et praktisk spørgsmål som tillægsspørgsmål: Hvordan bestemmes valutakurserne for euro og US dollar i denne beslutnings proces, og hvad er Kommissionens rolle i den sag?
Now that all the basic decisions for the introduction of the common currency have successfully been taken, it is now more important than ever to make sure that these decisions are properly implemented.
de Silguy, medlem af Kommissionen. - (FR) Dette er et meget praktisk spørgsmål, der berører borgerne direkte.
Finally, the Commission has the power of recommendation in the field of exchange rate policy, pursuant to Article 109 of the Treaty.
Aftalen tog på dette tidspunkt, det vil sige for tre år siden, den forudsigelige udvikling i betragtning indtil den effektive ikrafttrædelsesdato for mønterne og valutategnene.
I can assure you that on all these points the Commission will continue to fully discharge its tasks, as required by the Treaty.
Aftalen blev officielt godkendt af Rådet for Det Europæiske Monetære Institut, samt af Minister rådet, og den er ikke blevet diskuteret siden.
At the same time, the Treaty confers responsibility for deciding and implement ing monetary policy on the European Central Bank, and guarantees its independence.
Sagen er, at der i nogle lande findes sedler med en værdi, som er klart mindre end fem euro.
The issue of EURO coin denominations was thoroughly debated at Parliament's part-sessions of No vember and December.
vendigt, at alle mønterne, hvad enten de er fremstillet i Østrig, Frankrig eller Tyskland, er ens, at de accepteres overalt, at de har samme sikkerhed og accepteres i alle automater.
faced with the problem of the new banknote denominations. Almost half of all Austrian banknotes cur rently in circulation are 20- and 50- schilling notes.
Det er derfor en stor teknisk opgave, og det vigtigste er i dag at løse og fuldføre den.
On the other hand, the smallest EURO banknote (5 EURO) isTOughly equivalent in value to 70 schillings.
Desuden er det blevet besluttet ikke at have mønter og sedler med samme pålydende værdi for at undgå at tynge forvaltningen af seddel-og møntmassen.
If, as experts fear, there is a fourfold increase in the present coinage, should consideration should not be given to the subsequent introduction of 1 and/or 2EURO banknotes, and how might citizens be prepared for this situation?
Som De ved, har Kommissionen ikke bemyndigelse til at indtræde i Den Europæiske Centralbank og i Rådet i deres bedømmelse af situationen.
How does the Commission feel about these matters?
Den mener dog, at aftalen fra 1995 er vel afbalanceret set i lyset af de elementer, som jeg netop hurtigt har nævnt.
I give the floor to Mr de Silguy to answer Mr Rübig's question.
Til gengæld har De ret, hr. parlamentsmedlem, vi må gøre en indsats med hensyn til information og oplysning.
Rübig (PPE). - (DE) Mr President, at the moment I am giving a great many lectures on the euro, and I see that it is above all the small companies which are afraid that the circulation of coins is going to increase dramatically.
Det man har opnået, er således et kompromis mellem de for skellige medlemsstaters holdninger.
It is not only that we in Austria are going up from six coins to eight, but also that in the EU at present there are only two countries which have banknotes of a higher denomination.
Nu er det op til os i alle medlemsstaterne at forklare, hvad det er, der vil ændre sig.
The other countries are used to dealing in banknotes and do not have so much hard cash in day-to-day circulation.
Jeg mener, at de europæiske borgere er intelligente, udviklede og kultiverede nok til at forstå dette og til at tilpasse sig.
That is why the question arises of whether we should not consider introducing a one euro note in future.
Jeg mener faktisk, at for at overkomme den modstand, De nævnte, for at løse de reelle problemer, der kan opstå, er en usædvanlig indsats med hensyn til in formation nødvendig.
If one looks at America for instance, there they have a one dollar note without which life could not be imagined.
Dette har vi tre år til, og det berører efter min mening os alle.
This needs to be discussed.
Efter de første vurderinger der er foretaget af medlemstaterne, som jeg har bedt om en sammenfatning af med hen blik på at svare på Deres spørgsmål, ser det ud til, at der ikke er en stigning i antallet af mønter i cirkulation inden for eurozonen i forhold til den nuværende situation.
de Silguy, Member of the Commission. - (FR) Here is a very practical question, of direct concern to our citizens. In reply to Mr Rübig's question, I should first like to re mind you that the denominations of the euro coins and notes were decided in 1995 by common agreement be tween the Council of Ministers and the central banks.
Formanden. - Spørgsmål nr. 62 af Hans Lindqvist (H-0740/98):
de Silguy. - (FR) I should like to answer honourable Members very frankly.
Om: ØMU'en - »en ny Berlinmur«
We are not here to conceal the truth.
Den fælles valuta, euroen, risikerer at forårsage mange problemer i Europa, da landene ikke udgør et optimalt valutaområde.
I believe that we are engaged in a process in which decisions have been taken and in which we now have a considerable technological and industrial mechanism to implement.
Da ØMU'en er ensidigt kon centreret om prisstabilitet, risikerer den at øge ar bejdsløsheden og den regionale ubalance i ØMU-lan-dene.
For example; there must be around 75 billion coins to be minted in the European Union and some 10 billion notes to be printed.
ØMU'en skaber en politisk og økonomisk union, sam tidig med at mange ansøgerlande i Central-og Øst europa udelukkes fra inden for en overskuelig fremtid at blive medlem af EU/ØMU.
In certain countries there are notes which have a value of less than five euro.
Indebærer dette ikke en fare for, at ØMU-projektet re sulterer i skabelsen af nye mure i Europa?
In other countries there are also coins in circulation worth substantially more than two euro.
Hvilken strategi har Kommissionen for at modvirke en sådan uheldig udvikling?
That said, following an in-depth study, the Commission concluded that these notes and coins I have just men tioned have a relatively limited circulation.
Hr. kommissær, De bedes besvare hr. Lindqvists spørgsmål vedrørende bygning af mure i Europa.
As low value notes are not distributed in large quantities and high value coins are not generally accepted by vending machines, their practical use is limited.
Rübig (PPE). - (DE) Hr. formand Jeg holder for øjeblik ket mange foredrag om euroen og må konstatere, at navn lig de små virksomheder er bange for, at omløbet af penge vil øges drastisk.
It has also been decided not to have notes and coins with the same face value so as not to burden the management of the money supply.
Vi går jo ikke kun fra seks møntenheder til otte, i Den Europæiske Union er der for øjeblikket kun to lande, som har pengesedler med stort pålydende.
As you know, the Commission does not intend to speak for the European Central Bank and the Council, which must assess the situation.
Alle andre lande er vant til at have pengesedler og ikke så mange mønter i dagligt omløb.
However, it does consider the 1995 agreement to be fair, for the reasons I have just mentioned.
de Silguy, medlem af Kommissionen. - (FR) Jeg må sige, at jeg blev en smule overrasket. Næsten ti år efter Berlinmurens fald finder jeg faktisk hr. Lindqvists spørgsmål lidt Overraskende.
I do not believe it is either realistic or reasonable to call into question at this point the decisions taken by com mon agreement by governments three years ago and which, in technical terms, are designed to meet a real in dustrial challenge.
De anstrengelser, vi har gjort for at sanere vores økonomier, vores fi nanser i forbindelse med overgangen til euroen, begynder at bære frugt.
This is therefore a major technical undertaking and the priority now must be to successfully complete it.
Jég minder om, at statsunderskuddene gen nemsnitligt i Europa er faldet med 6,1 % af BNP i 1993 til 2,4 % i 1997, og at væksten, der var negativ i 1993, nem lig mindre end 1 %, er steget til 2,6 % sidste år, og vil stige til 2,8 % i år.
On the basis of the initial estimates of the Member States, a summary of which I requested in order to be able to an swer your question, it seems that there should be no in crease in the number of coins in circulation in the euro zone compared to the present time.
Samtidig forbedres beskæftigelsessituationen. 2,5 millioner nye jobs skal skabes i Europa fra nu af og til 1999, og alt dette er trods alt resultatet af de førte økonomiske politikker.
I would even say that, on the contrary, the development of modern alternative forms of payment, such as electronic payment - and especially for small amounts - should help reduce the number of coins in circulation in Europe.
F.eks. er der ca. 75 milliarder mønter, der skal præges i Den Europæiske Union, og omkring 10 milliarder sedler, der skal trykkes.
On the other hand, the honourable Member is right in saying that we have a great deal of information to pro vide and a lot of explaining to do.
Beslutningerne er truffet, og de skal nu føres ud i livet.
It is now up to us, in each of our Member States, to explain the changes.
I nogle lande er møntprægningen allerede begyndt, og trykningen af sedler starter i begyndelsen af næste år.
I believe that European citizens are sufficiently intelligent, developed and cultivated to understand and to adapt.
Jeg mener ikke, at det er realistisk eller fornuftigt at be tvivle de beslutninger, der er truffet ved en fælles aftale mellem regeringerne for tre år siden, og som rent teknisk er en sand udfordring for industrien. Således er det nød
I also believe it is true that there is a need for a great deal of information in order to over come the resistance of which you spoke and to resolve the real problems which that could pose.
