Informationssamfundet og de små virksomheder i de perifere områder er også spørgsmål, der ligger os på sinde.
Does he not believe that it would be better if we tried to be more coherent and draw those reports together and also to tackle the possibilities that exist for horizontal work as well as vertical work and vertical pro grammes?
Men hvad læser man i Deres forslag?
I should like to speak briefly on three areas.
Vil hr. Santer venligst kommentere forslaget om at etablere et kapitalmarked. EASDAQ. på samme måde som det velfunge-
In very practical terms, it is my view that this means we should consider tightening up Article 13 of the Financial Regulation in terms of reducing monthly instalment payments to Member States which are in default, or withholding them if fraud or misuse of Union funds has taken place.
Vi bør have et kapitalmarked (or vore små virksomheder.
It is absolutely vital that the Commission should regain the initiative in these two major policy areas.
foranstaltninger til en kulturlandskabsfond. og vi skal. hvad der er helt specielt vigtigt, udvikle en tiltrædelsesforberedelsesstrategi for de lande, der ønsker oplagel.se i den nærmeste fremtid.
Not only does the Commission's political credibility depend to a very large extent on its mastery of these two areas, but this is the only means of getting Europe out of the rut it is in. restoring the confidence of Europe's citizens, and laying down reliable markers for the people of Central and Eastern Europe.
Til sidst vil jeg gerne minde formanden om hans forpligtelser i henhold til traktaten.
In connection with budgetary policy, I would recall the comment on the Christodoulou report on legal bases and maximum amounts.
Der er vigtige områder såsom konvergenskriteriet, valg af monetære mål og centralbanken, hvor Parlamentet skal informeres og høres.
What is required here too is joint action to implement the report, in order to eliminate what might be termed extra-legal areas in the budgetary decisionmaking process of the institutions.
Endelig takker jeg formanden for hans meget positive svar her til morgen på mit brev vedrørende brochuren om en fælles valuta.
We also consider it important to secure better management of the funding for PHARE, TACIS and MEDA, based on new structures and an enhanced role for Parliament.
Goerens (ELDR). - (FR) Hr. formand, ved læsning af forslagene til beslutning fra de forskellige grupper kommer man uundgåeligt til at tænke på de breve, som vores børn på nuværende tidspunkt sender lil julemanden.
Our experiences with the financial agreements on MEDA which were reached at Cannes, and also with the sluggish way that funding flowed to Mostar, demonstrate clearly where interaction between the institutions has failed.
Prioriteter og ønsker er meget forskellige, og det vidner ubestrideligt om vores institutions vitalitet.
I also see it as important that the Commission should stand up for its rights in the formulation of external policy or aid programmes.
Böge (PPE). — (DE) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, også Kommissionen kan og skal med forelæggelsen af arbejdsprogrammet ikke opfinde hjulet på ny.
Lastly, I should like to make a comment on agriculture policy.
Her drejer det sig imidlertid slet og ret om at gøre Den Europæiske Union fit til udfordringen i de kommende år.
Obviously, here too we need to discuss strategy.
Også jeg går ind for princippet: Mindre i lovgivningen er undertiden mere.
But we do not need to issue offers in advance of the next WTO round. There will be time enough for that.
Men denne opfordring henvender sig ikke kun til Kommissionen, men er lige så meget møntet på aktiviteterne her i Parlamentet.
In my view, therefore, we like everyone else should be discussing how to go on the offensive and exploit the GATT framework to the full.
Det må vi meget selvkritisk bemærke.
We need an integrated policy for the development of the countryside.
Det drejer sig ikke kun om at udfylde borgernærhed, transparens og subsidiaritet med liv i positiv forstand, men også om. og det er vigtigt for mig, at sætte udviklingen af visioner — ud over den rene institutionsdebat — på dagsordenen.
We need to restructure the so-called flanking measures in this area to create a fund for cultivated land and, crucially, we must develop a strategy to help those countries which wish to join the European Union in the near future to prepare for accession.
Mere alvorligt forventer vi. at Kommissionens lovgivningsprogram bibringer et passende svar på de udfordringer, der venter Unionen.
van Velzen, Wim (PSE). — (NL) Mr President, in your introduction, Mr Santer, you rightly devoted much attention to employment, focusing largely on the priorities established at Essen.
Den. der siger passende svar på udfordringerne, forudsætter også. at der er en skarpsynet analyse af indsatsen og arten af udfordringerne.
What struck me was that unlike on previous occasions. ' rather less attention was given to what we call the European social model, which in my opinion it is still important to link to the employment issue.
Men man må i den forbindelse konstatere en vis vaklen, for ikke at sige et vist dødvande, på flere områder af største betydning, der ikke vil undlade al kræve øjeblikkelig interesse i det kommende år og videre frem.
One of the most important conclusions of the Delors White Paper and one of the agreements at Essen was that a good deal of reorganization and change is required in the field of employment if we are to ensure that work is distributed more fairly.
Det er navnlig tilfældet med udvidelsen og den monetære union.
People who think that this can be done without decent, proper social protection have got the wrong idea altogether.
I de to tilfælde må man absolut undgå, at meldingerne går ud over det. der er fornuftigt og i sidste ende hindrer gennemførelsen al' disse viglige mål.
In my country, the Netherlands, the practice of reducing working hours is already quite advanced, and we have seen that it is only possible if you continue to provide adequate social protection for those who are working less.
Man må modvirke udenomssnak, der lægger vægt på de negative følgevirkninger, og som her og der prædiker en forsigtig fordybelse i sig selv og afkald på enhver blot nogenlunde ambitiøs vision.
That is why I would like to see our European social model defined in rather more specific terms than it has been in our debate on employment this evening.
Lad os derimod i siedel opmuntre og praktisere en positiv tale. der betoner omkostningerne ved ligegyldighed, omkostninger ne ved tøven, som ikke-gennemførelsen af ØMUen eller udsættelsen på ubestemt tid af udvidelsen uundgåeligt ville medføre.
Goerens (ELDR). — (FR) Mr President, the various motions for resolutions tabled by the different political groups bring to mind the letters that children send to Father Christmas at this time of year.
Men offentligheden er mere og mere desillusioneret og lader sig mere og mere forføre af lette løsninger og genveje lil øjeblikkets problemer.
They each contain different priorities and wishes, and this undoubtedly bears witness to the vitality of our institution.
Jeg vil ganske kort komme ind på tre områder.
The new programme also includes considerably less work on legislation, including in the social field.
Hr. formand Santer, i betragtning af den for nylig her diskuterede årsberetning fra Revisionsretten for regnskabsåret 1994. holder vi netop på området budgetkontrol fast ved et detaljeret handlingsprogram for bekæmpelse af bedrageri og inddrivelse af restancer.
I hope that this is not in response to the Molitor report, which calls for drastic cuts in legislation.
Vi holder desuden fast ved en styrkelse af retsbeskyttelsen af Fællesskabets finansielle interesser.
I think that what we really need is not less, but different legislation.
Disse ting er så vigtige, hr. formand Santer, fordi hvis vi ikke kommer ud af den megen negative presseomtale i spørgsmålet om budgetkontrol — og dér kan Kommissionen være nok så god på andre områder — kan vi ikke tilstrækkeligt forankre mange andre gode ting i borgernes bevidsthed.
There are a lot of changes that need to be made, such as in connection with developments in the information society, which in my opinion call for amendments to existing regulations and probably new legislation too.
Kan man med god samvittighed i dag sige. at strategien forud for tiltrædelse, der blev defineret på topmødet i Essen, stadig er på skinner?
On a more serious note, we expect the Commission's legislative programme to provide an adequate response to the challenges facing the European Union.
Og hvad skal man mene om alle disse udgydelser og den verbale obstruktion, der dagligt skæmmer forberedel sen af den monetære union?
In this respect, I am obliged to note a certain amount of drift, not to say stagnation, in a number of areas of the utmost importance which are bound to dominate events in the coming year and beyond.
Det er absolut nødvendigt, at Kommissionen overlager initiativet med hensyn til disse to store sager.
In these two cases, it is absolutely vital to ensure that the bidding does not go beyond what is reasonable and, ultimately, impede the achievement of these fundamental objectives.
Ikke alene afhænger dens politiske status i et meget stort omfang al' styringen af disse sager, men det er også den eneste måde. man kan fa Europa ud af den gamle skure på og give dets borgere tillid igen samt fastsætte nogle troværdige holdepunkter for befolkningerne i Central- og Østeuropa.
We must counter the prevailing arguments, which highlight the negative consequences and advocate a timid withdrawal into ourselves and the abandonment of any vision which is in the least ambitious.
Med hensyn til budgetpolitikken kommer jeg tilbage til bemærkningen til Christodoulou-betænkningen, hvori det drejer sig om retsgrundlag og maksimumsbeløb.
The rather modest proposals in the social field have sparked a great deal of negotiation between Parliament's Committee on Social Affairs and Commissioner Flynn, with the result that social policy has been considerably firmed up in eight areas.
Også her er en fælles omsættelse af denne betænkning nødvendig for at nedbryde så at sige retsløse områder i forbindelse med institutionernes budgetbeslutninger.
The agreement is to be discussed in January. I would actually have preferred to deal with it now. but there was no room on this week's agenda.
For os er det fortsat vigtigt, at vi sikrer en bedre forvaltning af bevillingerne til PHARE, TACIS og MEDA, vel at mærke på grundlag af nye strukturer og ved øget inddragelse af Parlamentet. De erfaringer, vi har gjort med finansaftalerne i Cannes i relation til MEDA, men også de meget seje bevillingsoverførsler til Mostar tydeliggør, hvor samspillet mellem institutionerne ikke har fungeret.
However, I would just like to point out that agreement has been reached and that it will mean that greater and more practical use is made of the social protocol, and that when important proposals on poverty, for instance, are blocked in the Council because Germany opposes the use of Article 235 as the legal basis, say, the Commission, the Economic and Social Committee and the European Parliament will cooperate to ensure that as much funding as possible is made available in order to ensure that the projects can go ahead.
Også med hensyn til de planlagte internationale hjælpeprogrammer til det tidligere Jugoslavien bør Parlamentet ikke konfronteres med fuldbyrdede kendsgerninger.
I would urge the Commission to be as active and open-handed as it can here, because the Commission and the European Parliament need each other more than ever.
Men vi har ikke brug for nogen tilbud om forudbetaling til næste WTO-runde. Den kommer tidligt nok.
In the eyes of the majority of us, the cost of non-Europe is increasingly unacceptable.
Vi har brug for en integreret politik med henblik på udvikling af landdistrikterne.
Clearly, we shall need a great deal of determination, if we wish to achieve the two major goals which Europe has set itself and silence the prophets of doom.
Wim van Velzen (PSE). - (NL) Hr. formand, hr. Santer. i Deres indlæg har De med rette lagt stor vægt på beskæftigelsen, og de koncentrerede Dem i den forbindelse stærkt om prioriteterne fra Essen.
Valverde López (PPE). — (ES) Mr President.
Hvad jeg lagde mærke til. er. at i modsætning til de forrige gange var den vægt. der blev lagt på. hvad man kalder den europæiske sociale model, noget under lavmålet.
I shall concentrate my remarks on a few specific points, so as to avoid repeating what previous speakers have already said.
Jeg tror. at det stadig er vigligl at fortsætte med al knytte den europæiske sociale model (il beskæftigelsen.
Logically, however, I shall begin with a few words concerning environ mental problems.
En al' de vigtige analyser i Delors' hvidbog, og en al' aftalerne fra Essen er. at vi på beskæftigelsesområdet skal reorganisere meget og også skal gøre meget for at sørge for. at arbejdet bliver mere ærligt fordelt. De mennesker, som tror. al del kan ske uden en ordentlig og en passende social beskyttelse har absolut fat i den gale ende. I mit land.
We agree that the number of rules and regulations cannot be increased each year, but we must remind the Commission that its legislative programmes for 1993, 1994 and 1995 provided for a series of measures in this field — measures which have since been forgotten or delayed.
Wim van Velzen for at få den anvendt på alle områder, og hertil vil Kommissionen få al vor støtte ved udformningen af sine forslag.
52 proposals planned in the 1995 work programme, only 24 were taken up by the Commission and submitted to Parliament.
Ligeledes er en streng kontrol med den allerede eksisterende lovgivning en absolut nødvendighed.
a question of producing more legislation, therefore, but of honouring commitments already made to Parliament in pre vious years.
Og, hr. kommissionsformand, når vi parlamentsmedlemmer retter spørgsmål til Kom missionen, når vi er bekymrede i anledning af den manglende effektive gennemførelse af en bestemt foranstaltning i et land, kan man ikke affærdige os med to linjer om, at disse foranstaltninger er blevet transformeret til national ret, fordi dette er det mindste man kan sige, men det er ikke tilstrækkeligt. ligt.
There is no need to list those proposed measures now, but I do wish to draw attention to a key area which is very important in terms of ensuring the effectiveness of the legislative system as a whole: the legislation governing the effective exercising of responsibilities in the environment sector. We believe that harmonization in this area is essential.
I det nye program kan man for øvrigt i sig selv se en betydelig formindskelse af del lovgivende arbejde også på det sociale område.
Similarly, over the last few years, it has become evident that one of the major issues in environment policy concerns the need for a comprehensive water policy which addresses the questions of quantity as well as quality.
Jeg håber, at dette ikke er en reaktion på Molitorrapporten. som i høj grad opfordrer lil meget mindre lovgivning.
There are proposals in this context on the table.
Vi bliver nødt til at ændre meget.
What is needed is an overall response.
Parlamentet kan yde meget i et samarbejde om den forpligtelse, som påhviler Kommissionen som vogter af traktaterne, om at gøre de foranstaltninger effektive, som vedtages her, gennem hele den »antenne« som Europa-Parlamentet udgør, idet hver enkelt af os kender de konkrete problemer i vore lande og vore regioner.
I consider it significant that in establishing economic priorities, employment issues have been put at the top of the list, and in particular that emphasis has been placed on strengthening solidarity, on encouraging and stepping up the social dialogue, with close cooperation between both sides of industry, and on equality of opportunity for men and women.
I denne sammenhæng mener jeg, at vi kan samarbejde i videre omfang, og at vi kan få en mere effektiv gennemførelse.
I consider it particularly important that priority is given in this context to general and vocational education.
Hr. formand, et sidste spørgsmål: Der mangler et administrativt reglement for selve Kommissionens funktion.
Mr Santer mentioned the white paper which the Commission has already drafted and which we are to discuss in the House.
Dette er meget alvorligt hul, fordi borgerne og institutionerne skal vide, hvilke direkte forbindelser med Kommissionen der findes.
Particular mention was made of the focus on effective job creation and the need to combat social exclusion.
Socialpolitikkens noget middelmådige karakter har ført til. at Parlamentets Udvalg om Sociale Anliggender og Beskæftigelse har haft mange forhandlinger med kommissær Flynn.
I do not wish to dwell on specific measures, since environment policy has ceased to be a separate policy area and become a dimension of all other policies, as the Commission recognizes in its work programme.
Tyskland modsætter sig artikel 235 som retsgrundlag, vil Kommissionen i samarbejde med Socialudvalget og Europa-Parlamentet stille alle finansielle midler til rådighed for alligevel at fortsætte disse aktioner.
And we must not just pay lip-service to this principle, but apply it to all measures — and the Commission will have our support in this respect when it comes to drawing up proposals.
Hawlicek (PSE). — (DE) Hr. formand, jeg hilser velkommen, at Kommissionen for første gang forelægger et arbejdsprogram på grund af forpligtelserne i fælleserklæringen.
Similarly, strict monitoring of the legislation which is already in force is absolutely vital.
Jeg vil gerne understrege, at lovgivningsprogrammet skal udarbejdes i snævert samarbejde med Parlamentets kompetente udvalg, og på vegne af min gruppe — PSE-Gruppen — minder jeg om, at det ved udarbejdelsen af den samlede beslutningsprocedure til lovgivningsprogrammet er vores mål, at der hersker enighed mellem Kommissionen, Parlamentet og Rådet, og jeg beklager, at Rådet ikke på tilfredsstillende vis har opfyldt denne opgave med hensyn til et ansvarsfuldt institutionelt samarbejde.
And, Mr President of the Commission, when the Members of this Parliament put questions to the Commission expressing their concern at the lack of effective implementation of a certain measure in a given country, they do not wish to receive a two-line answer stating that the measure in question has been transposed into national law — while that is the minimum which can be said, it is not enough.
I arbejdsprogrammet for 1996 — og det er allerede blevet fremhævet som positivt af nogle af de foregående talere — er der kun indeholdt 19 lovgivningsforslag.
After a year's experience as a new Member of this Parliament, it seems to me, as someone involved in education policy, that until now educational issues have received short shrift.
Det er også fornuftigt, når man tænker på. at i arbejdsprogrammet for 1995 var det kun 25 ud af de 52 planlagte forslag, der blev godkendt af Kommissionen og forelagt Europa-Parlamentet.
Equally little attention is paid to cultural issues; they get just two lines in the report on activity in 1995, noting that the RAPHAEL programme was implemented and the Communities' cultural dimension was deferred.
Som noget positivt vil jeg også gerne nævne, at Rådet påtænker at reducere antallet af anmodninger om anvendelse uopsættelighedsproceduren. hvilket åbner mulighed for et grundigere arbejde i Parlamentet.
I should like to sound a warning note: the expectations of creative artists in the EU have been disappointed, not only by the amount of financial assistance for programmes, but also by the Council's boycotting of cultural programmes, the ARIANE programme for example.
Og jeg håber, at mottoet »Mindre er mere« vil vise sig at være rigtigt.
The fact that the European Council meeting in Essen called for improvement in education and training policy is a good thing.
Valverde López (PPE). — (ES) Hr. formand, mit indlæg vil dreje sig om nogle konkrete punkler for at undgå gentagelse af. hvad andre medlemmer allerede har sagt.
The European Parliament can assist the Commission greatly in fulfilling its obligation, as guardian of the Treaties, to ensure the effectiveness of the measures approved in this House, through the whole sensing mechanism of our institution, given that each of its Members is familiar with the problems of his or her own country and region.
Men logisk må jeg indlede med et par bemærkningerom miljøproblematikken.
In this context, I believe that there is scope for increased collaboration and more effective action.
Vi er enige i. at man ikke hvert år kan flerdoble reglerne, men vi skal erindre Kommissionen om. at den inden for rammerne af sine egne lovgivningsprogrammer for årene 1993.
Thyssen (PPE). — (NL) Mr President, following the speeches made by colleagues from my group and given the limited speaking time available, I shall focus on just one aspect of the work programme.
Derfor er der ikke tale om al lovgive yderligere, men at opfylde de forpligtelser, der allerede er indgået over for Europa-Parlamentet i de tidligere år.
One last point, Mr President: there is a need to draw up administrative rules of procedure for the functioning of the Commission itself.
Det er ufornødent at erindre om disse her. men jeg vil dog gøre opmærksom på et væsentligt og meget vigtigt punkt for at gøre hele lovgivningssystemet effektivt, nemlig den lovgivning, der regulerer effektiviteten af ansvaret på miljøområdet. Vi mener, at en harmonisering af denne sektor er væsentlig.
This is a very serious gap, since our citizens and the other Community institutions must know what form direct relations with the Commission take.
Ligeledes er del i de seneste år blevet klart, at en at' nøglefaktorerne eren samlet politik på vandområdet, ikke blot fra et kvalitativt, men tillige fra et kvantitativt synspunkt.
A little further on in its communication, it establishes a link between employment policy and social dialogue, and rightly so, because an effective social policy can be achieved more easily with the social partners than without them.
Der er midler til rådighed, men de er ikke tilstrækkelige. Der kræves en samlet løsning.
It also announces that it is to start consultations on developing the social dialogue in order to guarantee the social partners a greater degree of involvement in its work.
Jeg vil ikke opholde mig ved konkrete midler, fordi miljøet ikke længere er en sektorpolitik, der skal indpasses i de øvrige former for politik, og dette erkender Kommissionen i sit arbejdsprogram.
Hawlicek (PSE). - (DE) Mr President, I welcome the fact that for the first time, the Commission is submitting a programme of work on the basis of the commitments made in the joint declaration.
Men vi vil insistere på følgende: Man kan ikke i dette øjeblik føre nogen økonomisk politik, miljøpolitik, beskæftigelsespolitik, transportpolitik eller energipolitik uden virkelig al inddrage de miljømæssige aspekter.
I should like to emphasize that the intention is that the legislative programme should be worked out in close cooperation with the relevant committees of Parliament; on behalf of my group, the PSE Group, I would also remind the House that the whole decisionmaking procedure for the legislative programme has been put in place with the aim of securing agreement between the Commission, Parliament and the Council, and I regret that the Council has failed to engage in this responsible institutional cooperation in a satisfactory way.
Miljøkravene skal mediages ved udformningen af alle former for politik.
The work programme for 1996 contains only 19 legislative proposals, a fact that has been welcomed by several previous speakers.
Dette kan ikke fortsat være rent mundsvejr. men vi må sørge
It certainly makes sense when one reflects that of the
Det forekommer mig særlig vigtigt, at den almene uddannelse og erhvervsuddannelsen fremhæves i denne forbindelse.
What my group has been unable to find in this programme is the logical conclusion of these successive statements.
