Det er klart, at tvangsarbejde og børneslaveri med eller uden officiel regeringsopbakning er fremherskende i visse tredjeverdenslande.
I think there are more than 170 countries represented in the ILO which provides an ideal forum and an ideal framework within which this social clause can be discussed by the partners around the table. I feel strongly.
Ferruccio Pisoni (PPE). - (IT) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, jeg har bedt om ordet under forhandlingen om betænkningen aflir. Sainjon. hvis holdning jeg deler, for at kommentere ændringsforslag nr. 10 stilici på vegne af Det Europæiske Folkepartis Gruppe.
I think he is right and that the authors of the two reports are very right in what they have said here today: that Parliament perhaps cheered at GATT and the successful conclusion of the GATT talks, but I think a major problem has been thrown up and that it is most apposite that we should now ask ourselves what is the lowest acceptable price of labour anywhere in the world.
Jeg glæder mig over forslaget med mere omfattende inspektion al' fabriksforholdene ved uafhængige instruktører i Brasilien. Nepal og Pakistan.
Very nearly a half of all the developing countries with which we trade would in practice run out of control or would withdraw from any ties if we were to demand the reintegration of political prisoners or schooling for certain elements of the population.
Tvungent børnearbejde er et onde. der må udryddes.
If they forfeit these they will cease their trade with us.
Den vestlige verden kan ikke vende det blinde øje til udnyttelsen al'misbruget af børn.
We have always upheld the view that it is better to trade with one another and talk than to let them withdraw from our control and our sphere of influence.
Men den må heller ikke vende det blinde øje til sin egen baghave, for i mange tilfælde foregår der udnyttelse af børns arbejdskraft inden for vor egen Union, og der findes arbejdsbetingelser, der er uværdige i forhold til det. der bør være målet for Parlamentet.
Regarded from the point of view of the developing countries, we have only protectionist measures in mind here and are trying to keep certain countries, together with their exports, at arm's length.
Det nytter ikke. al vi skæven i andres øje, når vi haren bjælke i vort eget.
We ought therefore to try to collaborate in the international organizations instead of doling out unrealistic adages, because by doing that we lose our credibility.
Liberalisering og konkurrencedygtighed på verdensniveau kan ikke bygge på manglende respekt for de sociale klausuler og udnyttelse al' mindreårige eller indsatte og kan heller ikke bygge på mere eller mindre total mangel på et minimum af social sikkerhed.
I think it is obvious that a social clause must now be introduced - a number of groups have been calling for one for some time, the experts are calling for one.
Jeg tilslutter mig forsøget på at la Fællesskabet til at gøre mere på et meget vigtigt og vitalt område. Jeg ser i særdeleshed frem til at høre fra kommissæren, hvordan han vil nå målene for disse betænkninger.
And as I understand it - I am rapporteur on the GATT talks for the Committee on Development and Cooperation - the final signatures are about to be given.
Torres Couto (PSE). - (PT) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, jeg vil starte med at komplimentere ordførerne.
Belo (PSE). - (PT) Mr President, allow me also to congratulate the two rapporteurs; I shall focus mainly on the report by Mr Coates which has my full support.
Sainjon og Coates for det glimrende arbejde, de har udført under udarbejdelsen af deres betænkninger.
The way in which he uses two concrete examples - which are obviously not exclusive ones, but clearly illustrate what is happening in other countries - is exemplary and gives real bite to this report.
Ingen kan pålægge udviklingslandene social sikkerhed på vore niveauer med de dermed forbundne omkostninger: men man kan forlange, at konkurrencedygtighed ikke blot bygger på udnyttelse. Dette kunne føre til et angreb også på vore sociale sikkerhedssystemer og videreføre udnyttelsen.
That is why I proposed an amendment in committee to forward this resolution to the countries mentioned in it: it would enable us to maintain the increased pressure we have been exerting on China regarding human rights and. for the other countries, provide governments with further leverage for change in their own countries.
Verdenshandelen bør faktisk være en al" de privilegerede veje til at udbrede social innovation, så man laren større respekt for menneskerettighederne i arbejdet, hvilket beklageligvis ikke blev sikret i GATT-aftalen, hvor grundlæggerne privilegerede anerkendelsen af de kom parative fordele på bekostning af den nødvendige og faste intervention inden for retfærdige arbejdsregler.
At the same time I must point to a dilemma: if we introduce the social clause, and we are all in favour of it. we must remain realistic, not demanding more than the developing countries can deliver at a given moment.
Ændringsforslag nr. 10 kræver, at Kommissionen i for valtningen af GSP anmoder udviklingslandene om at øremærke en senere fastlagt del af' prisen på de eksporterede produkter til oprettelsen eller forbedringen al' et internt socialt sikkerhedssystem.
Because we cannot of course insist that a minimum wage in Belgium or the Netherlands - I am thinking here of what the previous speaker said - should from one day to the next become the wage payable in China.
Kun en universel aftale kan sikre, at det vil være muligt at forlange overholdelse af ILO-konventionerne. men også sikre at konkurrence dygtighed ikke gøres til et instrument til udnyttelse al' mennesker eller ødelæggelse al' miljøet.
That is impossible. So we must be reasonable and look at what is feasible, and in the long term wc must aim at a single level, but in the long term.
GATT's underskriverne og parterne i verdenshandelen glemte eksistensen af millioner af børn i hele verden, der behandles som slaver, og fremstiller varer til latterligt lave priser.
A year and a half ago I was in Brazil, Mr President, and the slave labour I saw there, despite the government's attempts to abolish it. is hard to eradicate because of the violence, corruption and threats of the corrupt against judges, teachers and anyone on the side of justice.
De glemte også den systematiske krænkelse af' menne skerettighederne og ILO-konventioncrne. de talrige ste der, hvor der arbejdes ulovligt, navnlig inden for tekstilsektoren, og hvor arbejdsbetingelserne er elendige, uden social sikring, uden rettigheder og til en sulteløn.
I would conclude, therefore, by asking the Commission to be mindful of the promises made by Commissioner Marin to the effect that legal training in these countries will be one of the priority actions of the European Union.
Måske er forholdene endnu ikke modne til at opnå del. man forlanger; men det er helt sikkert nødvendigt at skynde sig.
One thing which clearly needs tackling - and Mr Coates and Mr Sainjon quite rightly came down on it hard - is child labour.
Den er under alle omstændigheder ikke protektionistisk, fordi den i hvert tilfælde delvis fordeler omkostningerne.
I would remind the House of" the declaration by 67 Nobel prize winners who urged the world on 1 January in Amsterdam to stop child labour.
De tog heller ikke hensyn til de millioner af mennesker i fangenskab i Asien. Afrika, Mellem- og Sydamerika, der er underkastet strafarbejde som et pressionsmiddel eller et middel til politisk indoktrinering som sanktioner over for personer, der udtrykker bestemte politiske meninger, der er i opposition til den etablerede politiske, sociale
Braun-Moser (PPE). - (DE) Mr President, in contrast to many of' those who have already spoken, I wonder
Tongue (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, i de seneste måneder er mere end 220 arbejdstagere blevet dræbt ved brande og eksplosioner i fire kinesiske fabrikker. I Latinamerika
Flynn, Member of the Commission. - Mr President, I welcome the initiative taken by Mr Sainjon to present a report on the social clauses in the international trade system.
Det bliver altså mere og mere tydeligt, at der også må optages sociale minimumsnormer i det internationale handelssystem. Det er udgangspunktet.
Indeed, the new World Trade Organization would appear to be a particularly appropriate forum in which to discuss the link between trade and social rights.
De sociale klausuler må altså indbringes som et pressionsmiddel, når det handler om gøre handelsfordele. finansiel bistand og udviklingssamarbejde alhængig af pålægning af sociale normer.
This possibility has to be explored in greater detail at Community level and with third countries, both developed and developing in the GATT.
Men lad os komme tættere på os selv.
It is important to be clear in our minds as to the exact nature of the issues which we are addressing.
I Det Forenede Kongerige er der blevet forbud mod fagforeninger i GCHQ. og mange arbejdstagere er blevet nægtet deres fundamentale ret til at tilslutte sig fagforeninger og til. at disse fagforeninger kan anerkendes af arbejdsgivere.
We are all lightly concerned about abuses of human rights and social rights, about the denial of human dignity, about callous exploitation of child labour. We should seek to eliminate such abuses and to promote improved social standards worldwide.
I Det Forenede Kongerige har arbejdstagerne ikke nogen beskyttelse i form af en minimumsløn, og alligevel foregiver vi, at vi tror på rimelig konkurrence og social retfærdighed.
What we should not be seeking is to deny the developing countries their right to grow and develop and to benefit from the comparative advantage that stems from inevitably lower wage rates.
Det er derfor, vi i Den Europæiske Union har regler om konkurrence, og forhåbentlig snart tal stærkere sociale regler til at beskytte arbejdstagerne via det sociale kapitel - til trods for modstand fra Det Forenede Kongeriges regering.
After all, as experience has shown, economic development, which is stimulated by the expansion of' trade amongst other things, is the only way to bring a lasting and steady improvement of social standards.
Det kan kun opnås ved at forhandle sig frem til nogle sociale bestemmelser, et appendiks til GATT-aftalen, og ved at optage et forbud mod børnearbejde og bestemmelser om retten til at tilslutte sig en fagforening og deltage i kollektive lønforhandlinger i artikel 20 i GATT.
Finally, I would remind you that the Green Paper on European social policy also deals with this issue in the wider context of the internationalization and globalism of our economies.
Hr. Sainjons udmærkede betænkning forklarer, hvordan vi godt og meget praktisk kan gøre dette.
As you know, the Green Paper is at present under discussion in the Member States and here also in Parliament.
Et andet punkt, hr. formand, er. at Den Internationale Arbejdsorganisation faktisk allerede grupperer de vigtig ste partnere, der kan tale med hinanden om sådanne sociale klausuler, bl.a. arbejdsgiverorganisationer, ar bejdstagerorganisationer og regeringerne.
These important moral and social issues need to be addressed for their own sake. Solutions to the Community's own competitiveness problems cannot be found under the guise of action to promote social progress in developing countries.
Jeg anmoder indtrængende om, hr. formand, at Unionen som Europæisk Union tilslutter sig Den Internationale Arbejdsorganisation, og at vi via Unionen også presser på over for Den Interna tionale Arbejdsorganisation, således at den anvender alle de redskaber, vi har. til diskussionen om den sociale klausul.
The problem of job losses in Europe will not, however, be resolved by protectionism or just by addressing the question of global social standards, but rather by the kind of comprehensive approach set out in the Commission's White Paper on Growth, Competitiveness and Employment.
Van Putten (PSE). - (NL) Hr. formand, jeg tror. at jeg udmærket kan tilslutte mig den forrige taler, for vi taler ikke kun det samme sprog bogstaveligt, men også i overført betydning.
I now turn to Mr Coates' report. His excellent report raises the problem of the destination of goods produced in prisons or in conditions bordering on slavery and sold on international markets.
Det ville hjælpe med til at fordele handelsfordelene mere rimeligt inden for disse lande selv; det vil gavne deres egen vækst og sikre en udvidelse al' verdens handelen.
I want to pay tribute not only to Mr Sainjon, whose report clearly brings out what the real problem areas are, but also to the many people in the European and international trade union movement who are warning us clearly of the need to act.
Væksten af det helt frie marked uden regler udgør en trussel mod velfærden og den sociale stabilitet i hele verden.
Only on the basis of persuasion, not coercion, will we secure world wide progress.
Stærke multinationale institutioner som vi i Den Europæiske Union må regulere de sociale normer og således afbalancere de institutioner, forretningslivet har oprettet, og som fungerer på det frie markeds vilkår.
It is incumbent upon us, therefore, to reflect carefully on the means by which we can encourage and promote improvements in social standards.
Anvendelse af gode sociale normer ved handelsaftaler for hele verden, f.eks. støttet af os i Den Europæiske Union og De Forenede Staters regering, er den bedste vej frem.
To tackle these difficulties, the rapporteur suggests devising systems for surveillance and control of such practices in relations between the European Union and nonmember countries and asks the Commission to study and. where possible, to propose the adoption of trade legislation, taking its cue from legislation already in force in some Member States.
Jeg tror, at det er tydeligt, at en sådan social klausul skal defineres - forskellige grupper har længe anmodet om det, eksperter anmoder om det.
The draft resolutions and the report on which they are based set out the different tracks which should be followed: clarification of the issue, dialogue and cooperation with all our partners, especially the developing countries, and discussion at the multilateral level.
I debatterne er Punta del Este-erklæringen også overset, som dannede grundlag for disse forhandlinger, hvori der for eksempel er optaget en artikel, som omhandler effekterne af' GATT-aftalerne for udviklingslandene.
The Commission has been examining this question for some time now and is trying to elaborate a package of concrete steps which could be taken.
Ingen har tænkt mere på det. Det er på tide. at der bliver kigget på det.
Our ideas arc advancing steadily and the hearing on the subject which will be organized by Parliament in March of this year will give us an oppor tunity of discussing things in much greater detail.
Chanterie (PPE). - (NL) Hr. formand, for ti år siden kom jeg her i debatten om multilibcraftalernc ind på de sociale klausuler.
In the meantime I wish to stress that any practice leading to the exploitation of prisoners' and children's labour and, more generally, any modern form of slavery is roundly condemned.
Jeg glæder mig i dag over, at det ikke længere kun er et tema for tekstil og tekstilaftaler internationalt set. men at det også er blevet et tema for hele den internationale verdenshandel.
The observance, protection and promotion of human rights is a crucial element of the Community's political dialogue and relations with nonmember countries.
Jeg er begge ordførere taknemmelig for de betænkninger, som de har udarbejdet.
Indeed, it is at the very foundation of the European Union.
Det er blevet stadig tydeligere, at den økonomiske udvikling ikke automatisk går i spænd med forbedring af arbejdsomstændighederne.
Meanwhile, let us recall the three action fronts advocated by the White Paper on Growth, Competitiveness and Employment in relation to the social costs aspect of international competitiveness.
Samtidig vil jeg så også straks fremlægge et dilemma: hvis vi indfører den sociale klausul - og det er vi for - så må vi reelt forblive inden for de muligheder, som udviklingslandene på dette tidspunkt har.
In line with the responsibility incumbent on all members of the international community, simply and collectively the Union is helping to create the conditions that ensure that human rights are truly observed.
Fordi en minimum sløn i Belgien eller Nederlandene - og jeg tænker på den forrige taler - skal vi naturligvis ikke pålægge Kina i
Although its cooperation policy with its different partners is rooted in an open and constructive dialogue, it is also ready to take
Derfor vil jeg slutte mit indlæg med at anmode Kommissionen om ikke at glemme hr. Marin's løfte om. at juridisk uddannelse i disse lande bliver en al' Den Europæiske Unions vigtigste aktioner.
But besides these more than justified concerns, there remain some elements of hope, positive elements which I believe should not be overlooked.
En ting må være klar, og det er - hvad hr. Coates og Sainjon helt rigtigt har angrebet hårdt - børnearbejde.
firm action in the event of serious violations of human rights and to lend its support to the victims.
Jeg henviser også til erklæringen fra 67 Nobelprismodtagere, som den 1. januar i Amsterdam opfordrede verden til at stoppe børnearbejdet.
This is made possible by the insertion in the Association Agreements and in the economic and cooperation agreements of clauses relating to human rights.
Børnearbejde og slaveri er fuld stændigt utilladeligt, det kan vi begynde med.
These are two excellent reports and they will be given very careful consideration by the Commission.
Der er en hel række lande, hvor arbejdsvilkårene virkelig er dårlige, og da mange mennesker dér er fattige, er de villige til at arbejde, også selv om de kun får meget lidt for det.
I thank Commissioner Flynn for his explanations which, in some cases at least, seem to go in the right direction. I would like one clarification.
Derfor ville det jo være en meget ringe indsats fra vor side at indstille importen, hvorved disse mennesker overhovedet ikke ville have noget arbejde mere.
I do not think I heard the Commission undertake to bring up the principle of the introduc tion of the social clause at the 15 April meeting in Marrakesh, which would give a first impetus to the new international trade organization.
Vi er alle med rette bekymrede over overtrædelserne af menneske rettighederne og de sociale rettigheder, over at man fornægter menneskelig værdighed, over en brutal udnyttelse af børns arbejdskraft.
Flynn, Member of the Commission. - Mr President, that particular item is going to be considered in the very near future by the Commission and I take note of what the rapporteur says in that regard.
Vi må forsøge at afskaffe et sådant misbrug og at fremme forbedringen af de sociale normer i hele verden. Det. vi ikke bør gøre. er at nægte udviklingslandene ret til at vokse og udvikle sig og udnytte den fordel, de har af. at deres lønninger nødvendigvis er lavere.
Furthermore, and this is the second element, the informa tion which we have available indicates that, as regards the aim of removing border controls - the political core of measures by the Schengen countries - within a short time the other countries which have not so far taken part in this exercise may converge.
Som erfaringen har vist. er det trods alt økonomisk udvikling, der blandt andet stimuleres og udvides at" handelen, der er den eneste vej til at bringe en varig og stabil forbedring af de sociale normer.
Even Austria has made a formal request to become an observer of the Schengen group and it seems likely that Denmark's position may also soon develop in the same direction.
Det er endvidere et spørgsmål, hvad .socialdumping er.
The vote will take place at 12 noon tomorrow. (')
Disse vigtige moralske os sociale spørgsmål må vi for vor egen skyld tage fat på.
President. - The next item is the statement by the Commission on the implementation of the Schengen agreements.
Problemer med tab al' arbejdspladser i Europa kan imidlertid ikke løses med protektionisme og ved bare at tage fat på spørgsmålet om globale sociale normer, men snarere ved et generelt iniatiativ som det, der er formuleret i Kommissionens hvidbog om vækst, konkurrencedygtighed og beskæftigelse.
I shall present, without further ado. the Commission's assessment of the current state of the Schengen agree ments, which are at the centre of this debate and the focus of the political groups' concerns.
Næsten halvdelen al' alle de udviklingslande, vi har samhandel med, ville dermed i praksis komme ud af kontrol eller de ville unddrage sig enhver form for integrering, dersom vi stillede krav om, at politiske fanger skal tilbage til samfundet og at bestemte dele af befolkningen skal have undervisning.
Already on other occasions I have stated before this House that, even if the Schengen countries were to rapidly achieve their objective - something which I hope they will be able to do - this would not mean that freedom of movement will have been accomplished within the Union.
Vi er altid gået ind for, at vi hellere skal drive samhandel og tale med hinanden end at tillade, at de unddrager sig vor kontrol og indflydelse.
I repeat what I have said at other times: at least 95'7( - if not 97% or 98% - of freedom of movement has been achieved.
Set ud fra udviklingslandenes synspunkt har vi her protektionistiske foranstaltninger i sinde og forsøger al holde visse lande og deres eksport på afstand. Vi bør derfor forsøge at arbejde med i de internationale forsamlinger i stedet for at komme med tom snak, for derved mister vi vor troværdighed. dighed.
There remains the removal of border control - and I think that this is the correct terminology to use from now on -which should also take into account, as Parliament knows, the solution of problems associated with security.
Belo (PSE).- (PT) Hr. formand, også jeg vil gerne komplimentere de to ordførere og i det følgende beskæftige mig specielt med hr. Coates' betænkning, som jeg støtter.
It seems to me that, in evaluating the consequences of the new delay in implementing the Schengen Convention, it is necessary above all to consider fairly the technical difficulties which this delay has caused, without attributing to them a political meaning which they do not have or only have to a very limited extent.
Den måde, hvorpå han griber to konkrete eksempler- som åbenbart ikke er enestående, men giveren klar ide om, hvad der foregår i adskillige lande - synes jeg er fortrinlig, og gør betænkningen skarpsindig os kritiserende. de.
Nevertheless, when these aims are achieved, the coun tries of the Schengen group will be able to make a considerable contribution in terms of political consensus, in the same way as the Maastricht Treaty has brought with it new legal instruments, also in terms of Community responsibilities.
De præcise foranstaltninger, der er brug for, må drøftes meget nøje, men det forekommer mig, at de områder, hvor det er mest nødvendigt at gøre noget, er slaveri, arbejde i fænglser og under tvang, udnyttelse af børns arbejdskraft og retten til kolletive aftaler og til organisering.
The recent presentation by the Commission of the proposal for a decision concerning the 'external borders' convention and of the procedure on visas show this body's determination to use the most opportune moment to take concrete initiatives on this subject.
Jeg vil gerne udtrykke min anerkendelse, ikke bare over for hr. Sainjon, hvis betænkning helt klart blotlægger de reelle problemområder, men også over for de mange mennesker i den europæiske og internationale fagbevægelse, der klart gør os opmærksom på. at det er nødvendigt at handle.
This Commission measure will proceed within a global and consistent framework of legislative initiatives, aimed at creating conditions to ensure that one of the main aims of the internal market is finally carried out.
Det påhviler os derfor nøje at overvåge de midler, hvorved vi kan støtte og fremme forbedringer af sociale normer.
At the same time, the accompanying measures which arc Community initiatives will be the subject of proposals within a short space of time.
