Derfor skal alt sættes ind på at få medlemsstaterne til at anvende struktur fondene og de egnede fællesskabsinitiativer for at bibe holde detailhandelsen i land- og byområderne.
This is a capacity which has special importance for Portugal, as the border areas - in the interior, with Spain, are the most backward areas and, symptomatically, only have more favourable indicators in the towns on the traditional main connections with Spain.
For at forstå handelens betydning for den europæiske udvikling skal den ses som et gensidigt afhængigt element, så at sige som bindeled mellem landbruget, handelen, industrien og turismen.
This is an advantage which will increase greatly when the Euro comes into circulation and eliminates the costs and limitations currently involved in changing money.
Og alligevel er der planer om at åbne et supermarked i vores by.
It seems that the motto of Descartes: 'I think, therefore I am' has been transformed into 'I spend, therefore I am'.
Nogle af de fonetningsdrivende hilser dette velkommen.
When buying and selling lead the way as policy objectives, you encourage consumerism and mate rialism.
De siger, at deres fonetninger alligevel er ved at dø.
The interests of the environment are then pushed into the background.
Før projektet iværksættes, vil vi udføre en analyse af de økonomiske og transportmæssige virkninger. Dette er ikke desto mindre et vigtigt eksempel, for det samme sker rundt omkring i hele Storbritannien og vil før eller senere ske rundt omkring i hele Unionen.
Of course I support the Commission in its efforts to achieve more environmentaUy-friendly products and packaging.
Jeg håber, at Kom missionen vil følge anbefalingerne i betænkningen og inden for to år udarbejde en hvidbog, der anerkender de små virksomheders betydning samt anerkender, at de har bug for vores hjælp.
It is only today, as we see the economic effects of the develop ments in our society in terms of distribution and consumption, that we recognize how important small businesses have been, particularly in the commercial sector.
Blokland (I-EDN). - (NL) Hr. formand, Kommissionens grønbog om handel giver en god analyse af den situation, som den europæiske handel i øjeblikket befinder sig i.
We certainly need more study of this and of the effects of the growing concentration of large businesses.
For det første går Kommissionen uden videre ud fra, at den nationale lovgivning er den vigtigste hindring for grænseoverskridende handel.
Lukas (NI). - (DE) Mr President, this report and debate are very important because trade is important to European economic and employment policy, not because of its size - and the impressive figures prove that.
Det er rigtigt, at det indre marked ikke fungerer problemfrit. Men årsagen fjernes ikke med ensartede eller harmoniserede regler.
Commerce also a cultural and socio-political dimension in a local area.
Det ville vidne om mere realitetssans, hvis vi respekterer de kulturelle skikke, der ofte har dybe rødder.
It is often the centre of local life and also has great importance-for tourism.
Jeg tør slet ikke forestille mig, at diversiteten i markedsstrukturen og regionernes variationer skulle byttes med en endimensional, kedelig monokultur.
The recreation of a better balance between small and large shops must be, therefore, an important purpose of Member States and also the Commission
Jeg vil gerne udvikle nogle argumenter og tilføje nogle nye.
I should like to quote as an example the town in which I live.
Særlig vigtig er de muligheder, der ligger i de små og mellemstore virksomheder, som mod virkning til tendensen til at forlade byområderne og for at tilfredsstille en lang række behov.
It is a small town in the southwest of England, called Langport.
Anden bemærkning, Kommissionen ønsker, at det går godt med handelen.
It is 17 miles from the nearest large town and 12 miles from a town that can even vaguely be described as large.
Det ønsker jeg også.
We have a number of shops.
Men er mere handel bedre?
We are fortunate.
Det er slående, at behagelige indkøbsforhold nævnes som instrumenter til at øge omsætningen med .
We have three newsagents, five hairdressers and two butchers.
Her fremgår det, at Descartes udtalelse: »Je pense, donc je suis« er ændret til: »Je dépense, donc je suis«.
And yet there are proposals to open a supermarket in our town.
Miljø spørgsmålet kommer i anden række.
They say that their businesses are dying anyway.
Selvfølgelig støtter jeg Kommissionens bestræbelser på at opnå miljøvenlige produkter og emballager.
Others say that the introduction of a supermarket, not limited - as has been the trend in Britain until now - to selling food, but selling many kinds of things, would kill all other trade in the town.
Men hensynet til miljøet kræver
We will conduct an economic impact assessment
Vi må imidlertid være klar over, at det indre marked med dets øgede mobilitet og konkurrence stiller nye udfordringer og giver voldsomme problemer, især for detailhandelen.
The shopping experience must not be allowed to disappear from villages by the closing of the last shop.
I lyset af de mange forskellige funktioner, handelen udfører, ikke kun som distributionskanal, vil dette nødven diggøre, at man ved udarbejdelsen af de politikker, der
Everything possible must be done, therefore, to persuade Member States to use the structural funds and suitable common

der den nærmende indføring af euroen og informationssamfundets oprykning.
initiatives for the maintenance of retaU outlets in rural and urban areas.
Også den fælles mønt medfører, som ordføreren og andre kolleger allerede har nævnt, nye vigtige udfordringer, da distributionssektoren sammen med banksektoren vil være i forreste række som det led, der har den første kontakt med forbrugerne.
In order to understand the importance of trade for Euro pean development one must look upon it as a network., a sort of link between agriculture, commerce, industry and tourism.
Uanset det indre marked må vi ikke glemme, at en stor del af detailhandelen begrænser sine aktiviteter til det lokale marked og skal overleve der gennem samarbejde.
President. - I am sorry but those in the public gallery have not yet been informed that they are not allowed to make any comments.
Men forhold som planlægning af kommercielle områder, åbningstider og lignende må efter vores mening gerne overlades til medlemsstaterne.
They may applaud or not applaud an intervention, but without extraneous comments. I would be very grateful if it did not happen again.
Kommissionen bør fremme sådanne initiativer ved i det mindste at organisere en udveksling af de bedste initiativer og frem for alt ved ikke blindt at ville regulere i spørgsmål om byplanlægning og etablering af handel.
Having said that, I believe it is clear that the Group of the European People's Party is fully in agreement with the report by Mr Garosci, whom we thank for his dedication in producing a report which we fully support.
For det første bør disse politikker føre til en klar forbedring af de sammenhænge, handelen opererer i fra et bureaukratisk, lovgivningsmæssigt og skattemæssigt synspunkt.
Thyssen (PPE). - (NL) Mr President, commerce is a sector with many SMEs that do not always get the attention they deserve and the sector is almost the largest employer and makes an important contribution to the economic and social well-being of many Europeans.
For det tredje mener jeg, at der bør indføres et system med ekstern økonomisk støtte til opstart og overlevelse af handelsvirksomheder, især af mindre dimensioner, navnlig med henblik på, som allerede nævnt, de store byers randomåder, de små byer og situationen i landdistrikterne.
There is increasing competition as a result of the operation of the internal market which has resulted in an enormous trend towards concentration. There are also considerable urban and rural shifts in the retail trade.
Hr. formand, at Kommissionen i sin grønbog skænker detailhandlens rolle ved indføringen af euroen stor op mærksomhed er en god ting.
I would like to support some of the concepts already discussed and add some others.
Ordføreren og andre kolleger har forklaret hvorfor. Der bør derfor også tages tilstrækkeligt hensyn til denne sektors bekymringer, bl.a. hvor det drejer sig om prismærkning og fastsættelse af start- og slutdatoen for overgangsperioden.
I would like to stress the fact that commerce canies out a fundamentally important role, not only for the economy and employment, but also from the social point of view, in that it guarantees a plurality of functions in urban and rural centres, as many colleagues have said.
Tillad mig at komme med et sidste forslag. Vi venter naturligvis med interesse, ja næsten utålmodigt, på den kommende hvidbog om to år, når den er udarbejdet.
Still, we must keep in mind that the single market, with increased mobUity and competition, will bring particularly important chaUenges and problems, given that the distribution sector will be in the front line together with the banking system in the interface with consumers.
Men vi mener, og jeg er sikker på, at kommissæren allerede har planlagt et initiativ i denne forbindelse, at det emne, vi forhandler om her til aften, også bør fremmes og have en central rolle at spille under beskæftigelseskonferencen på topmødet den 21.-22 november.
So they must not only deal with the costs of adapting to the new reality, but fulfil a training role in order to overcome the problems connected with the use of the Euro rapidly.
Endvidere er der informationssamfundet, der kommer til at vende op ned på handelen, og som vil ændre forholdet mellem både forbrugeren og bankvæsenet.
Despite the internal market, we should not forget that a large part of the retail trade limits its activity to the local market and has to survive there by means of cooperation.
Elektronisk handel, nye oversættelsesteknikker, flere kolleger har alle rede berørt dette, vil kun vinde frem, hvis der er tillid til disse nye ting, og hvis de kan anvendes på en betalbar måde. Også her er der nok at tage fat på.
As European employers we must regulate in a European way those areas that need European rules, but we must also leave room for the locally-orientated entrepreneurs who are active in the regions that differ from each other in their structural, cultural and demographic characteristics and therefore cannot aU tolerate a centralized approach.
Formanden. - Jeg beklager, men de unge europæere på tilhørerpladserne har vist ikke fået at vide, at tilkendegivelser fra tilhørerpladserne ikke er tilladt. De kan bifalde eller tage afstand fra et indlæg, men det skal ske uden ydre tilkendegivelser.
I think European policy and national and local policies on the principle of subsidiarity should look more carefully at the potential of this sector and establish innovative lines of intervention.
Jeg vil bede om, at dette ikke gentager sig.
I have some suggestions to make.
Til sidst lige en bemærkning om Udvalget om Handel og Distribution.
A second matter concerns urban and rural shifts.
Dette udvalg skal naturligvis være repræsentativt for den heterogene sektor, det repræsenterer.
In rural areas there is an exodus from the local shop and the arrival of shopping centres on the edge of towns and ugly rows of shops along major roads which has led to the decline of town centres.
Endvidere bør det overvejes ikke kun at lade de erhvervsdrivende, men også deres repræsentative organisationer del tage helt i arbejdet.
The Commission rightly states that commerce can be an efficient means against the marginalization of certain groups of the population and that an integrated policy is necessary with regard to the towns.
Hos SMV'erne, hr. kommissær, er der et reelt behov, og jeg vil derfor gerne høre Deres konkrete mening herom.
In Randers, the authorities have made funds available for commercial centres in the town centres.
Thyssen (PPE). - (NL) Hr. formand, handelen er en sektor med mange SMV'er, der ikke altid får den opmærksomhed, som de har fortjent, uanset at de næsten er den største arbejdsgiver og leverer et vigtigt bidrag til mange europæeres økonomiske og sociale velfærd.
First, these policies should distinctly improve the operational context of the sector from the bureaucratic, regulatory and fiscal viewpoints.
Hr. formand, jeg spændt på de reaktioner, der kommer fra anden side på grønbogen. Jeg håber i hvert fald, at Kommissionen vil tage hensyn til Parlamentets beslutning.
Mr President, the fact that in its Green Paper the Commission gives a lot of space to the role of the retail trade on the introduction of the Euro is a good thing.
Thyssen der vidner om en velovervejet politik over for handelssektoren. toren.
Thyssen companies create to give employment to highly paid executives.
Cassidy (PPE). - (EN) Hr. formand, det er en fornøjelse at tale, når tilhørerpladserne er fyldt.
Smaller firms, on the other hand, particularly small retail firms, cannot afford such specialists.
Det er bare en skam, at pladserne i Parlamentet ikke er lige så fuldt besat som tilhørerpladserne.
The job is done by the boss and either the boss's wife or husband.
Hvis tilhørerne ønsker at klappe efter min tale, måske endda med stående bifald, vil det glæde mig meget.
We cannot go on adding burdens of this kind on the small enterprises which are the great creators of jobs.
lesskab alt for ofte bliver brugt som syndebuk eller endda som figenblad. Som eksempel kan nævnes en pub i min valgkreds, som havde frokostretter på menuen.
teur and other colleagues have explained why.
Pubbestyreren - forpagteren af pubben - fik at vide af sin lokale miljøsundhedsinspektør, at han ikke længere måtte servere oksekød, der ikke var gennemstegt.
But ad equate account must be taken of the concern of this sector, among other things, with regard to prices and determining the beginning and end dates of the transitional period.
I parentes bemærket skete dette længe før BSE-krisen.
The Commission should also not forget the increased price transparency through the use of the euro, that will make the call for the harmonization of VAT rates even louder, Mrs Peijs refened to this in more detail.
Han fik at vide, at han ikke længere mate servere utilstrækkeligt stegt oksekød, for det havde Bruxelles forbudt.
Furthermore, there is the'information society which wUl thoroughly shake up commerce and the relationship with both the consumer and the banks will change.
På en anden og lidt finere restaurant i London fik jeg for nylig at vide, at man ikke længere ville servere Crêpes Suzettes, fordi man i Bruxelles havde udstedt bestemmelser om, at flammerne var farlige, så restauranten havde taget Crêpes Suzettes af menuen.
Electronic trade, new translation techniques, colleagues has it occuned to you, will only be able to be successful if there is confidence in these new things and if they can be used in an affordable way and so there is still work to be done.
Formanden. - Jeg plejer normalt ikke at sige dette, men det ville også glæde mig, hvis De fik stående bifald ved mødets afslutning.
Many smaU retailers are self-employed. But those six directives, when they became law in the United Kingdom, were extended to apply to the self-employed.
Hvad angår Deres bemærkning om, at der ikke er ret mange kolleger til stede i Parlamentet, så ved De jo udmærket godt, at kollegerne har arbejdet lige siden kl. 8 i morges, nøjagtig som De og jeg.
Not only were they extended to apply to the self-employed, they had added into them penalties, imprisonment, fines and other condemnations which would have made life difficult for these people.
Jeg kan jo ikke pålægge dem at blive i salen indtil nu.
All this was blamed on Brussels, on those wicked people in the European Commission, or in the European Parliament.
Cassidy (PPE). - (EN) Hr. formand, det forstår jeg godt.
FinaUy, I should like to say a word about the Committee on Commerce and Distribution.
De går ganske vist glip af en god tale, men det må de jo selv om.
This Committee must of course remain representative for the heterogeneous sector that it represents.
Emnet for aftenens betænkning af vores kollega hr. Garosci, en udmærket betænkning, er af største betydning, fordi handel, detail- og engrosdistribution samt detailydelser til offentligheden i al almindelighed udgør en' væsentlig kilde til beskæftigelse, som en række andre talere tidligere i debatten har påpeget.
Furthermore, consideration must be given to not only the entrepreneurs themselves but also their representative organizations to let them play a full part in the work, and especiaUy for the SME world, Mr Commissioner, the need is a real one and I should like to hear your particular opinion on this matter.
Et af de vigtige forhold, som jeg håber, Kommissionen vil tage til sig fra aftenens debat, er hvordan de nationale myndigheder - her har jeg nævnt britiske erfaringer, men efter at have talt med flere kolleger, forstår jeg, at det er lige så slemt i andre lande - bruger Bruxelles og Europa-Kommissionen som undskyldning.
In any case, I hope that the Commission will take account of the Pariiament's resolution.
Hvis vi kan opfordre kommissæren til at understrege dette, og til at protestere, når han møder denne handlemåde fra nationale regeringers side, har han helt sikkert vores fulde støtte, og min i særdeleshed.
I nevertheless congratulate the rapporteur on drawing it up and I await concrete proposals from the Commission that attest to a mature policy for the commercial sector.
Jeg vil gerne henlede opmærksomheden på punkt 10 og 11 i betænkningen af hr. Garosci.
I only regret that the benches of the House are not as full as the public gallery.
Papoutsis, medlem af Kommissionen. - (EL) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne takke Dem for den ekstra tolerance med hensyn til taletiden, som De har udvist her til aften, som gjorde det muligt at føre en vigtig forhandling med vigtige bidrag fra alle de, der havde ordet.
Again in my country - I am sorry to refer specifically to British experience - I regret to say that all too often Brussels, the European Commission, the European Com, munity, being used as a scapegoat or, indeed, as a fig-leaf. I can quote an example of a public house in my constituency which served lunches.
Jeg er sikker på, at handelens folk vil vide at værdsætte dette.
In parenthesis I would add that this was long before the BSE crisis occuned.
De store virksomheder har råd til at ansætte alle de eksperter, som kræves af den moderne lovgivning -sundhedsog sikkerhedsrepræsentanter, brandrepræsentanter, socialrådgivere - alle de stillinger, som store virksomheder opretter for at skabe jobs til højt betalte medarbejdere. dere.
In another restaurant in London, of a rather higher status, I was told recently that crêpes suzettes could no longer be served because Brussels had decreed that flames were dangerous and therefore crêpes suzettes were no longer on the menu.
Mindre virksomheder, især detailvirksomheder, har deri mod ikke råd til at ansætte sådanne specialister.
President. - Although I do not usually do so, may I say I would be very glad indeed if you received this ovation at the end of the meeting.
Her er det chefen og chefens kone eller mand, der udfører disse funktioner.
As to your other remark that there are not many Members in the House, you know very well that colleagues have been working, just as you and I have been, since 8.00 a.m. today.
Vi kan ikke blive ved med at lægge sådanne nye byrder på de små virksomheder, som udgør en stor kilde til jobskabelse.
I really cannot obüge them to remain in the Chamber until now.
De positive reaktioner fra den offentlige dialog overgik i høj grad mine forventninger.
The Commissioner and you, Mr President are laughing.
Og jeg skal ikke skjule, at det glædede mig særlig meget, at Parlamentet besluttede at udarbejde en betænk ning om grønbogen.
I can assure you that people seeking crêpes suzettes or the people who used to earn their living making them in the United Kingdom are now out of a job and that Brussels is being blamed.
Dette viser nemlig, at Parlamentet tillægger grønbogen en stor betydning i denne for økonomien så vigtige sektor.
One of the important things which I would hope that the Commission will take away from our debate this evening is the way in which national administrations - I have talked about the British experience but, from comparing notes with other colleagues I understand it is just as bad in other countries - use Brussels and the European Commission as an excuse.
Tillad mig i denne forbindelse at takke ordføreren, hr. Garosci, for denne glimrende betænkning og den indgående analyse af grønbogen, som betænkningen indeholder.
If we can encourage the Commissioner to highlight this and to protest when he sees national governments act in this way, he will certainly have our wholehearted support and mine in particu lar.
Det grundlæggende mål for grønbogen er at skabe en så bred dialog som muligt om denne sektors fremtid i Europa. Parlamentets bidrag til denne dialog har haft og har stadig stor betydning for imødegåelsen og forståelsen af problemerne i sektoren, men også for udarbejdelsen af de grundlæggende europæiske politikker for handel.
The subject of the report this evening by our colleague, Mr Garosci, which is an excellent report, is a matter of profound importance because commerce, retail and whole sale distribution and retail services to the public in general are great creators of jobs, as has been pointed out by a number of other speakers in the debate so far.
I mit hjemland er situationen endnu væne.
President - The Commissioner, who has been listening patiently, may now reply.
Vi får jo EF-direktiver, og som et eksempel kan nævnes den berømte »pakke« af seks direktiver om sundhed og sikker hed, som vi vedtog i 1992.
I would like to concentrate attention on paragraphs 10 and II of Mr Garosci's report.
Selvstændige erhvervsdrivende var specifikt undtaget fra de seks direktiver.
Paragraph 10 states that the distributive trades, small and mediumsized enterprises, suffer disproportionately from over-regulation as a result both of European Community directives and of national regulations.
Mange små detailhandlere er selvstændige.
I would like to expand a little bit on that point.
Man sagde, at det hele var Bruxelles' skyld, alle de lede mennesker i Europa-Kommissionen eller i Europa-Parlamentet.
The world of commerce will be very grateful to you.
Igen i mit eget land - undskyld at jeg hele tiden specifikt omtaler britiske forhold - må jeg desvæne sige, at Bruxelles, Europa-Kommisssionen, Det Europæiske Fæl
Large companies can afford to employ all the experts that modern legislation requires: health and safety officers, fire officers, welfare officers - all those posts which large
Papoutsis bidrag i form af flere end 1000 bemærkninger og forslag er noget, som vi har tilstræbt: det var nemlig vores ønske at iværksætte en bred debat med åbne diskussioner på europæisk plan, som ville vise betydningen af denne sektor.
It must also be said that in many countries, in many Member States of the European Union, this idea of consolidation of businesses within associations or partnerships has proved to be particularly successful, more so indeed when this idea has been reinforced by state authorities, by national legislation and by the governments of the Member States.
vil også blive nyttiggjort i forbindelse med handlingsprogrammet for handelen.
the promotion of those issues that are examined in the Green Paper on commerce.
Vi regner med, at denne taskforce, hvis opgave det er at medvirke til et bedre og mildere erhvervsklima, vil være i stand til at forelægge en forberedende rapport til det ekstraordinære Europæiske Råd i Luxembourg om beskæftigelsen.
And I will not hide from you the fact that I was especially pleased that Pariiament decided on its own initiative to submit a report on the subject of the Green Paper. This shows that Parliament makes as much of this crucial sector of the economy as I do.
