Hr. Lomas, når jeg har sagt dette, så har De med denne af klaring højst 60 sekunder.
It may well be that, although there is pain for the Greek economy in the short term, as the economy begins to restructure itself the benefits accrue in a longer-term perspective.
Det er naturligvis ikke det eneste røvertogt, som har fundet sted.
The Council has been very conscious of the need to ensure a social dimension to its work.
Således har franskmændene under Napoleon taget det første mosasaurerhoved med, og dette er nu i Paris.
The policy changes which preparation for the euro has re quired make sense in their own right and will benefit workers.
På nuværende tidspunkt har franskmændene endnu intet ladet høre fra sig.
In many parts of the Un ion we are seeking the benefits of those policies now.
Kan rådsformanden og hans ef terfølgere måske i fremtiden hjælpe hermed?
These benefits have not been bought at the expense of workers in other parts of the Union.
Men jeg håber også, at friserne fra Parthenon i hvert fald kommer til bage.
Growth across the Union is in the interests of citizens of all our countries.
Mener Rådet ikke, at eftersom disse skulpturer blev fjernet fra Grækenland under den tyrkiske besættelse, er de ikke no get isoleret som et maleri, men en del af Parthenon, en bygning, og at de derfor bør vende tilbage dertil?
I single out here the British economy and the UK. Would he not agree that the situation in Britain is that not being part of the euro is damaging British industry?
Ligeledes i lyset af den overvældende og massive støtte i Det Forenede Kongerige, hvilket er kommet til udtryk i undersøgelser, heriblandt en tv-undersøgelse, hvor man re gistrerede, at 94 % ønskede, at de skulle vende tilbage, kan Rådet da udtale sig om, hvorvidt dette vil være en praktisk og rigtig ting at gøre, eftersom det kommenterer sager overalt i verden, som det ikke har den fjerneste ind flydelse på?
We are see ing high interest rates in the UK, which are having a detrimental effect; we are seeing an overvalued pound, which is likely to lose a hundred thousand jobs in the UK economy next year.
Henderson. - (EN) Som nævnt er den konstitutionelle holdning, at Rådet ikke har nogen kompetence i denne sag.
Would it not be better for the President-in-Office to advise the British government that the best way it can bring about stability in Europe and stability in Britain is to declare an early entry into the ERM and an early date for joining the euro?
Hvis hr. Lomas ønsker at tage spørgsmålet op over
Perhaps he ought to tell Mr Blair to stand up to Mr Murdoch and the Sun and de clare in favour of that.
Henderson, formand for Rådet. - (EN) Jeg vil gerne sige til hr. Bertens, at nogle af disse spørgsmål blev drøftet i teorien, da vi behandlede Amsterdamtraktaten. Rådet har klare kompetencer i henhold til tidligere traktater.
Theonas (GUE/NGL). - (EL) Mr President, I would like to thank the President-in-Office, but he gave me a very general answer and I would like to help him with certain specific facts, so that we can see what reactions are being caused.
Der findes også kompetencer i Amsterdamtraktaten.
That entry was ac companied by a 14 % devaluation of the national cur rency.
Gillis (PPE). - (EN) Jeg er temmelig skuffet over rådsformandens svar, men det kan meget vel ligge uden for EU's kompetence, som han sagde.
However, I am here to respond on behalf of the Council and the Council has acknowledged the coherence in the British Government's approach to the euro.
Jeg stillede imidlertid et lidt andet spørgsmål, og jeg tror, at måske er muligt at få svar på det.
For those who seek to enter, the question of convergence and preparation is of vital importance to their economies.
Er Rådet enigt i, at der skal eller bør tages hensyn til de europæiske befolkningers følelser i forbindelse med EU's kulturpolitik?
But even if a country within the Union did not seek to ac cede to the euro at a later stage, clearly businesses within their economy would probably want to link their calculations to euro calculations.
Jeg mener, at det er et lidt anderledes spørgsmål end dem, De har besvaret.
Indeed, there is already evidence that this is the case.
Henderson. - (EN) Jeg takker hr. Gillis for hans tilføjelse, men han forsøger blot at sige det samme som hr. Ber tens bare set fra et andet synspunkt.
The Council has acknowledged that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, speaking in the House of Commons, indicated that between November 1997 and a time after the next general election a convergence process could take place and the British Government could then decide whether or not it was in the economic interests ofthat country to seek membership of the euro at that date.
Spørgsmålet om kul turelle standarder og kulturpolitik i Den Europæiske Union er hovedsagelig et anliggende for medlemsstaterne.
The Council has ac knowledged that the other partners in the European Union and industry and commerce in Britain and elsewhere -and, indeed, the workers and their organizations in those countries - have a better understanding of the British po sition.
Når det er et anliggende for Rådet, findes det klart angivet i traktaterne, og dette er til en vis grad ændret i Amsterdam-traktaten. Men som jeg sagde til hr. Bertens: hvis min tolkning er korrekt, mener jeg ikke, at Amsterdam traktaten vil give Rådet kompetence i en sag som denne.
The stability brought to the British economy by this relationship to the European economy and the euro has been acknowledged.
Henderson. - (EN) Jeg er glad for, at fru Ewing haf rejst spørgsmålet på vegne af byen i hendes valgkreds, som har samme navn som den diplomat, statuerne er opkaldt efter.
In the context of the Euro-Mediterranean process of cooperation with Algeria, what practical form is the wish for partnership expressed by the Council actually taking?
Hun ved det ikke, men jeg var valgtilforordnet i hendes valgkreds i 1970, hvor jeg var blevet sendt derop af La bour i Glasgow for at hjælpe.
What programmes and projects have been launched in the past two years?
Så jeg kender Elgin-folke-nes syn på disse vigtige spørgsmål.
What is the outlook for the immediate future?
Miranda (GUE/NGL). - (PT) Hr. formand Jeg skal fatte mig meget kort. Det drejer sig om en situation, der involverer to medlemsstater, og det konkrete spørgsmål, som jeg stiller formanden for Rådet, er følgende: Er det påkrævet med politisk vilje til at løse dette spørgsmål, der involverer disse to medlemsstater? Har det britiske formand skab politisk vilje til at bidrage til, at dette spørgsmål bli ver endegyldigt løst?
To what degree do young Algerians benefit from the EU?
Formanden. - Da det drejer sig om lignende sager, vil spørgsmål nr. 11 og 12 blive besvaret under ét.
Will measures and programmes be introduced to combat corruption? tion?
Henderson. - (EN) Igen vil jeg sige til hr. Miranda: jeg er ikke her for at udtrykke den britiske regerings syns punkter, jeg er her for at udtrykke synspunkter på Rådets vegne, og hvis han ønsker at stille et spørgsmål til den britiske regering, som jeg allerede har sagt til to af hans kolleger, er jeg sikker på, at den ansvarlige minister kan give ham svar på det.
Henderson, President-in-Office of the Council. - The European Union is developing cooperation with all 12 Mediterranean partners, including Algeria, within the Euro/Mediterranean process launched in Barcelona in November 1995.
Om: Virkningerne af afskaffelsen af det afgiftsfrie salg
A wide range of initiatives have taken place in fields as diverse as the environment, investment, cultural heritage and industry.
Castellina (GUE/NGL). - (IT) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne minde den engelske rådsformand om, at Amsterdam-traktaten i et vist omfang har udvidet Den Europæiske Unions beføjelser på det kulturelle område i en artikel, hvori det siges, at kulturen bør være en dimension, der er til stede i alle aspekter af Unionens politikker.
The needs of women and young people, as well as the necessity of combatting corruption, are taken into account when drawing up initia tives under the process which is supported by ECU 4.7 b in European Community financial assistance for economic transition under the MEDA programme.
Hvilke foranstaltninger vil medlemsstaterne træffe for at afhjælpe de sociale og økonomiske følger af afskaffelsen af det told- og afgiftsfrie salg inden for EU i overensstemmelse med 13. betragtning i præamblen til direktiv 91/680/EØF (') betragtning i præamblen til direktiv 92/12/EØF(2)?
Given Mr Theonas' question, is it not the case that those weaker economies need to make sure that they have prepared fully for the single currency, so that their small and mediumsized enterprises can take full advan tage of the stable and very large euro area that will be created next year?
Spørgsmål nr. 12 af Pat Gallagher (H-0368/98):
The Presidency hopes that good progress can be made in these negotiations during the course of the year.
Om: Rådets (transport) anmodning om en undersøgel se af de sociale konsekvenser af afskaffelsen af salget af afgiftsfri varer
Izquierdo Rojo (PSE). - (ES) The President-in-Office of the Council has answered the question without saying an ything concrete.
Mener De derfor ikke, at Amsterdamtraktaten har indført en ny situation også fra dette synspunkt?
Please give me a more concrete answer, because you have told us absolutely nothing apart from vague remarks.
På baggrund af, at Rådet (transport) på sit møde den 17.
There is a strong view, which the Council has acknowledged, that the establishment of the euro will be a major contribution to achieving that.
Marts 1998 besluttede at anmode finansministrene om at bede Kommissionen om at foretage en undersø gelse af de sociale konsekvenser af afskaffelsen af sal get af afgiftsfri varer, bedes formandskabet bekræfte, at dette spørgsmål vil blive sat på dagsordenen for det næste møde i ØKOFIN-Rådet?
A number of countries who will seek to join the euro at an early stage will recognize that they need to take further action to reinforce that decision so that they can get the best out of their economy in a com petitive sense.
Henderson. - (EN) Jeg vil gentage det for fru Castellina, at det er et fortolkningsspørgsmål, hvad der siges om dette i Amsterdamtraktaten. Min forståelse er, at det ikke vil ændre ved kompetencen i denne sag, og de ting, hun ønsker at drøfte i denne sag, bør hun tage op over for den britiske eller den græske regering.
Other economies who will choose not to join the euro or may not be eligible to join the euro at its inception will also recognize that they need to make changes in their economies as well, whether or not they enter the euro at a later stage.
Nr. 4-517/195 beskæftigelsesmuligheder.
No 4-517/195
Billetprisen vil stige med GBP 17 for de mange hårdtpressede borgere i hele Unio nen.
Izquierdo Rojo benefitting at all from the European Union, and neither are Algerian women.
Kan han bekræfte det over for mig?
projects which are very suspect from an environmental point of view.
Henderson, formand for Rådet. - (EN) I de direktiver, som hr. Cushnahan henviser til, er man i Rådet blevet enige om, at det toldfrie salg på rejser inden for Fællesskabet kan fortsætte i en overgangsperiode frem til 30Juni 1999.
I think the Council itself should take overall responsibility, since this affects the environmental situation in the applicant countries.
Hensigten var at mindske de sociale og regionale problemer, der kan opstå som følge af en afskaffelse, og give operatørerne tid til at tilpasse sig.
They expect major adjustments which could, for example, affect biodiversity which is also affected by these projects.
Det er op til de enkelte medlemsstater at beslutte, om der er behov for yderligere foranstaltninger for at håndtere særlige sociale eller økonomiske konsekvenser.
I think the Council itself should have an overall view about how the European In vestment Bank acts in eastern Europe, and about the fact that it has a significantly worse policy than, for example, the World Bank or the EBRD.
Der er endnu ikke taget nogen beslutning om, hvorvidt sa gen skal sættes på dagsordenen ved et senere møde i ØKOFIN.
Henderson. -1 cannot add a lot more to what I said in my original reply.
Det ville være interessant, hvis alle undersøgelser, der blev udarbejdet, rummede en.garanti for, at kendsgerningerne kom frem.
What I can say to Mrs Izquierdo Rojo is that there will be a conference of the Mediterranean coun tries and the EU in Palermo in June.
Der vil blive foretaget mange skøn over de mulige virkninger.
That will be a further opportunity to discuss many of those issues.
Det siger jeg, fordi der ligger en lufthavn i min valgkreds, og derfor har jeg en interesse i disse spørgsmål.
But it is the aim of the Union to seek to build links with Algeria.
Men der findes andre og mere overordnede overvejelser, som ØKOFIN-Rådet og Ministerrådet skal tage hensyn til.
Economic links are important and must be accompanied by a commitment to the other things that would be incorporated into any association agreement such as democratic procedures and human rights.
Det ville være nyttigt, hvis vi fik undersø gelsen foretaget hurtigst muligt, måske med et lidt mere åbent sind, for at se, om det er muligt at bevare den told frie handel.
I wonder whether you really do not see this as part of your responsibilities, since it is part of the Union's overall policy in the area of the environment in relation to the applicant countries.
De har slugt den toldfrie industris argumenter råt.
Subject: The EIB's information policy
Formanden for Rådet gør helt ret i at betvivle nogle af prognoserne for mistede arbejdspladser, som jeg stiller mig yderst skeptisk over for.
The European Investment Bank lends money to a series of projects both in the EU and in the applicant countries.
Men jeg blev lidt bekymret på grund af hans svar på et tidligere spørgsmål, som virkede noget mindre lige fremt og fast end sidste gang, han var i Parlamentet, hvor han gentog - og jeg støttede ham - at ØKOFIN ikke har planer om at vende tilbage til dette spørgsmål. Han for mulerede det ikke helt så fast denne gang.
Compared with other banks like the EBRD and the World Bank, which lend money to similar projects, the EIB provides very little information about the environmental impact of projects.
Kan vi få en be kræftelse af, at der ikke -jeg gentager ikke - er planer op at genoptage hele diskussionen?
For example, the EBRD -unlike the EIB - publishes an environmental impact assessment before decisions are taken on various projects.
Som sagt har transportministrene taget sagen op, men ØKOFIN har endnu ikke besluttet at sætte punktet på dagsordenen.
Does the Council consider the information provided by the EIB about the environmental impact of various projects to be adequate?
Beslutningen blev truffet for længe siden.
If not, what improvements does it feel that the EIB ought to make in this area?
Det vil kræve enstemmighed at ændre den. Det er op til Kommissionen af beslutte, hvorvidt den vil udarbejde en rapport.
In deed, in the Amsterdam Treaty which has not yet been ratified, of course, there is an additional Union obligation to give environmental considerations a higher priority.
Som jeg sagde under sidste mødeperiode, hvor jeg talte om samme emne, er der mange teorier om, hvilke konsekvenser afskaffelsen af den told frie handel inden for Den Europæiske Union vil få.
Currently, under existing Treaty provisions the EIB publishes an environmental policy statement which sets out its general approach.
Der er teorier om, at der vil komme færre arbejdspladser, og te orier om, at der vil komme flere arbejdspladser, teorier om, at forbrugerne vil blive de egentlige vindere og teorier om, at forbrugerne vil blive taberne.
In relation to the countries who wish to accede to the European Union, environmental matters are important matters for them and from my discussions with them they have all recognized that.
De enkelte med lemsstater er nødt til at lave deres egen beregninger. De har haft en lang periode til at foretage en vurdering.
One of the things which can be identified in the accession partnerships is the need to take action on the environment.
Gallagher (UPE). - (EN) Jeg er glad for, at Transportministerrådet har skrevet til ØKOFIN. Jeg håber virkelig, at ØKOFIN-ministrene vil respektere transportministrenes ønsker og bestille en undersøgelse.
Henderson, President-in-Office of the Council. - Since the European Investment Bank's task is to contribute to the balanced and steady development of the Community, it is bound to act in respect of the provisions of the Euro pean Community Treaty concerning the environment, in particular Article 130r which states that 'environmental protection requirements must be integrated into the definition and implementation of other Community policies'.
Henderson. - (EN) Hr. Cassidys bemærkninger viser, at der er mange synspunkter om dette emne, som går på tværs af det politiske spektrum i Parlamentet og uden tvivl også andre politiske institutioner i hele Den Europæiske Union.
I think all the countries who want to be on the negotiating line for membership of the European Union - at the moment there are six - recognize that they have to make many environmental changes before they will be able to accede, and that involves very many issues.
Er han enig i, at afskaffelsen af den toldfrie handel, der som han
In general this is for the Commission to judge and the Honourable Member may therefore want to direct his question to that source.
Gennem undersøgelser, som er gen nemført i mit land, har man påvist - ikke noget med teorier - at titusinder af arbejdspladser vil gå tabt i hele Unionen, uden at disse mennesker har alternative
This included proposals which were approved by Parliament today to introduce ethical rules into trade agreements, rules which move in the right direction with regard to social develop ment and child labour, but also with regard to environ-
Om: Ligestilling for bøsser og lesbiske
IIUU ment support these demands.
Vil Rådet ændre lovgivningen, så der indføres fuld ligestilling for bøsser og lesbiske, og der dermed sker en de factoophævelse af virkningerne af Domstolens diskriminerende dom i Lisa Grant-sagen?
I see the Council's answer as very positive and would just like to ask a supplementary question.
Men når Amsterdamtraktaten ratificeres, vil Kommissionen få et retsgrundlag for fremtidige foran staltninger.
You say that the rules are such that you cannot always fulfill our requests for environmental impact assessments.
Rådet vil fortsat samarbejde med Kommissionen om at udarbejde foranstaltninger, der er til gavn for alle borgere i Den Europæiske Union.
In that case, is the Council prepared to help change the rules for the EIB and other EU institutions in the right direction, so that environmental impact assessments can be made?
Barton (PSE). - (EN) Lige til det sidste, formanden for Rådet var inde på.
Hardstaff (PSE). -1 thank the President-in-Office for his reply.
Jeg tror, at han har besvaret punktet om, hvad ØKOFIN bør svare transportministrene: Der er behov for mere objektive undersøgelser. Er formanden klar over, at Parlamentet tidligere har haft sammenstød med Rådet og Kommissionen vedrørende et tilsvarende punkt, da vi insisterede på en objektiv undersøgelse af sikkerheden for brugere af store motorcykler.
It is a matter of great urgency and anxiety among the agricultural community in those countries which are not going to be in the first wave of EMU because they are subject, not merely to the vagaries of weather and climate and the changes in CAP reform, WTO and GATT, but will continue to have considerable anxieties about the vagaries of currency exchange.
I den situation blev Den Europæiske Unions - eller De Europæiske Fællesskabers, som det hed dengang - beslutning truffet gennem meget an derledes procedurer, som ikke omfattede fælles beslutningstagning.
I would urge that our agricultural communities be given this information as quickly as possible so that they can plan ahead knowing that at least one area will not be as uncertain as many others in the years ahead.
Erkender Rådet, at der kan være behov for at overveje, hvorvidt lovgivningen er tilfredsstillende, el ler om der blev truffet en forhastet beslutning under de gamle procedurer, og vil det acceptere, at en undersøgelse vil hjælpe os med at nå frem til en rigtig beslutning nu?
Henderson. -1 can give Mrs Hardstaff the commitment she is looking for: the Presidency recognizes the importance of this issue, and a speedy response will be given as soon as possible after the date to which I previously re ferred.
Sandbæk (I-EDN). - Jeg er selvfølgelig fuldt ud klar over, at Romtraktaten ikke giver disse beføjelser, men jeg er da meget glad for svaret og vil gerne sige tak for det.
Theonas (GUE/NGL). - (EL) Mr President, this is of in terest both to the countries within the single currency and to those which remain outside.
Men kunne De ikke uddybe det og gøre det en anelse mere specifikt? Deres svar gik ud på, at De ville forsøge at gøre noget.
Can Mr Henderson tell us whether there is a tendency to equalize the green ex change rates with the commercial exchange rates of the currencies?
Dette forekommer mig at være lidt for bredt formuleret.
Henderson. - Thank you for that further supplementary.
Jeg vil godt have at vide, hvad De konkret havde tænkt Dem at gøre.
That would be a matter that the Commission would need to consider, and the Council would liaise with the Com mission on that matter.
Henderson. - (EN) Jeg tror, at fru Sandbæk beder mig gøre det umulige.
I think in relation to agreements with third world countries one needs to strike a balance.
Hvis det ærede medlem havde ønsket at stille et specifikt spørgsmål, ville jeg have gjort mit bedste for at besvare det. Men jeg kan bestemt ikke forventes at kunne forudsige en række specifikke spørgsmål, som jeg måske vil skulle besvare.
One cannot expect poor third world countries to immediately meet environmental standards that one would expect to be applied in rich countries within the European Union, but that does not mean that one ignores environmental matters.
Henderson. - (EN) På overfladen er det altid tillokkende at hævde, at love, der er vedtaget tidligere under andre omstændigheder, ikke ville være blevet vedtaget, hvis de skulle forelægges en politisk institution i dag.
Rübig (PPE). - (DE) Mr President, I would be interested to know whether the best practice model would also be possible for the information policy of the EIB, because listing the most successful projects would have a considerable effect on the future of the other projects.
Jeg anfægter ikke hr. Bartons bemærkning generelt.
President - Thank you very much, Mr Henderson. I fear you want to leave us.
Men det betyder ikke, at vi kan ændre al den lovgivning, der er blevet indført tidligere.
When we started Question Time, I suggested extending it to 7.15 p.m. but you told me that your plane would not wait and you would have to leave at 7.00 p.m.
Det er ikke så længe siden, at man traf beslutning om dette, men det er stadig syv eller otte år siden, og det har givet de butikker, der nyder godt af den toldfrie handel, mulighed for at overveje virkningerne for deres forretning og træffe deres forholdsregler.
This Presidency greatly enjoys your company and the chance to listen to the answers you give to the honourable Members of this House, but I cannot keep you here against your will, when you really cannot stay.
Denne mulighed har været der hidtil. ØKOFIN har endnu ikke taget en beslutning.
Let us hope that in the future we can organize the work of this House better, so we can keep precisely to the time we have both agreed upon.
Mere kan jeg ikke sige i øjeblikket.
Thank you for your presence and your replies.
von Habsburg (PPE). - (DE) Hr. formand, jeg forstår fuldt ud, at det er vanskeligt for Dem at spå om fremtiden.
President - Question No 17 by Veronica Hardstaff (H0288/98)
Rent bortset fra, at de ville bidrage til, at vores del af verden langsomt uddør!
Questions Nos 18 to 40 will be dealt with in writing. (') That concludes Question Time.
Andersson (PSE). - (SV) Jeg tror ikke, at der er meget håb om, at finansministrene vil skifte mening.
(The sitting was suspended at 7.05 p.m. and resumed at 9.00p.m.)
Det burde altså være muligt at tilgodese dette.
