Jeg vil gerne udtrykkeligt give min kollega, hr. Donelly, ret: Stabilitetspagt ja, men i retning af budgetstabilitet i de enkelte medlemsstater, i retning af beskæftigelsespolitik og på ingen måde i form af Waigels spændetrøje.
Dublin II is fast approaching, to be preceded as we have heard by an Ecofin Council next Monday in Brussels. Our belief is that there is a clear political and a financial market expectation that Dublin II will deliver the Eurostatute, ERM II and the stability pact.
Det vil jeg også gerne udtrykke klart på vores gruppes vegne.
Indeed, if Dublin II does not resolve these issues, why are we rushing them through this Parliament, in this debate, so as to accommodate the other institutions?
Der er nogle, der forsøger at sukre den bitre pille lidt, at dæmpe befolkningernes utilfredshed og protester ved at fremme enkelte forbedringer af den fælles valutapolitiske mekanisme, der er fastlagt i Maastrichttraktaten og i de kompetente EU-institutioners efterfølgende beslutninger.
The total indifference regarding the consequences that proceeding with EMU will have for workers and employ ment in the real, wider, economy stands out very starkly.
De ser de blindgyder, vi føres ind i på grund af de valg, der træffes i forbindelse med ØMU, og forsøger, uden at tage afstand fra hele projektet, at rejse bestemte problemstillinger og give udtryk for deres bekymringer ved at stille fortolkningskrav til kriterierne.
The reports speak of the need for implementation of EMU, but nowhere does one find any mention of the millions of jobs that will be lost, of the disintegration that will be caused in the countries with diverging economies, of the collapse of labour relations, of the casting-aside of the social model that has been a feature of Europe in the recent decades as a result of the struggles engaged in by the labour movement.
Spørgsmålet om, i hvor høj grad en sådan overholdelse rent faktisk er nødvendig, har i mellemtiden været genstand for en heftig diskussion, for de politiske indrømmelser til Maastricht-modstanderne i form af en snæver fortolkning og streng overholdelse har gjort, at de fiskale konvergenskriterier har vundet i betydning, som ikke har noget som helst traktatfæstet fundament og heller ikke kan begrundes økonomisk.
On the outstanding areas of disagreement on the stability pact, what constitutes temporary and exceptional circumstances and the automaticity of fines for errant States, the ELDR supports the room for manoeuvre and judgment indicated by the Commission's proposal.
Det drejer sig snarere om den herved fastsatte retning, de enkelte medlemsstaters budgetpolitik skal bevæge sig i.
Excessive zeal for technical, quantitative definitions runs the economic risk of turning the stability pact into a straight-jacket.
Netop her skal det iagttages overalt, at budgetterne konsolideres, og at for stor statsgæld nedbringes.
It runs the political risk of making the best the enemy of the good and it runs the Summit risk of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Allerede i dag er spredningen mellem underskudskvoterne mellem EU-staterne blevet tydeligt mindre, og det skal også gå i den retning.
The Commission should hold its line and if Ecofin and the Commission hold that line we will wholeheartedly support them.
Hr. Mettens forsøg er forståeligt, men ændrer ikke væsentligt ved tingene.
Mr President, the tolerance of working people is running out.
Jeg vil til sidst gerne sige, at en hvorvidt-debat i forbindelse med Den Monetære Union står i vejen for den nuværende udvikling, nemlig omstillingen i bankerne, i de små og mellemstore virksomheder, og at jeg glæder mig meget over den måde, diskussionen føres på her i dag!
We serve notice yet again that there is big trouble ahead if the warnings sent by the growing mobilization of the peoples of Europe against the theft of their incomes and of their other hard won rights are not heeded pretty quickly.
Der er en iøjnefaldende, total ligegyldighed over for de konsekvenser, som ØMU'ens gennemførelse har for arbejdstagerne og beskæftigelsen i det virkelige erhvervsliv.
Theonas (GUE/NGL). - (EL) Mr President, today's de bate is a further indication of the haste with which the European Union is moving ahead on all of the issues pertaining to admission to the third stage of economic and monetary union.
Betænkningerne tilslutter sig behovet for ØMU'ens gen nemførelse, men desværre nævnes ingenting om de millioner af arbejdspladser, der vil gå tabt, den strukturelle opløsning, der vil opstå i de lande, hvor der i forvejen er
Following on from the stubborn refusal to put the subject on the agenda at the intergovernmental conference, which would allow account to be taken of the
Hvor mange år skal vi have overvågningsforpligtelsen om årlig rapportering?
He says it represents three things for Europe today.
Jeg er fuldstændig enig i alt det, hr. Donnelly sagde, og især i hans bøn om ikke at falde i fælden med den af Tyskland foreslåede spændetrøje.
It will help to consolidate peace in our continent and among our peoples, of course any government moving in the right direction should be able to join, and we must watch that we do not overvalue the euro and so destroy a lot of our aims.
beærer os med sin tilstedeværelse under forhandlinger om økonomiske anliggender, ja sådan set om hvad som helst, under stor mediedækning har sagt, at Europa går i søvne -ind i ØMU'en.
Soltwedel-Schäfer (V). - (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I am very pleased that our debate on monetary union today is not about 'if' but about 'how', and that this applies to all groups.
Det betragter jeg som en grov fornærmelse af Parlamentet, alle ordførere, Udvalget om Økonomi, Valutaspørgsmål og Industripolitik, formanden for ØKOFIN, hr. Santer og Kommissionen.
We have been talking today about the legislative requirements for the independence of the na tional central banks, the institutional imbalance of the European central banks, public acceptance and the third stage of economic and monetary union.
Jeg vil gerne lykønske Irland med, at det har den førende økonomi i Europa og nu opfylder kriterierne.
He also points out that an arithmetical application of the criteria is not possible, and if applied there would not be a sufficient number.
Min gruppe og mit parti i Skotland er tilhængere af ØMU'en. Vi mener, det er absurd at have et indre marked uden en fælles valuta.
In his explanatory statement he points out we could either do this with a big bang or we could do it in the way we are, converging first and then creating the Union.
Jeg vil gerne lykønske hr. Herman med hans lidenskabelige indlæg og hans behov for at informere, forberede og forsikre.
I should like to endorse, very clearly and positively, what Mr Donnelly said.
Er det ikke beklageligt, at der i den medlemsstat, jeg hører ind under, næsten ikke gøres noget forsøg på at informere?
Let us have a stability pact by all means, but one geared to the budgetary stability of the individual nations, to employment policy, and absolutely not in the form of the Waigel-style strait-jacket.
Den forpligtelse er de åbenbart undtaget fra.
I would like to make that absolutely clear on behalf of our group.
Jeg mener og klynger mig til tanken om, at den ene side af sedlen og mønten skal være magen til de sedler, der udstedes af bankerne.
For instance, Denmark, which meets the criteria, has an interest rate 1 % higher than some states that do not meet the criteria.
Det vil i vid udstrækning få befolkningen til at føle, at dette virkelig er deres valuta.
So it looks as if we still have some questions to be answered with regard to exactly what flexibility means.
Jeg har hr. Sainjons taletid, da han er blevet syg, og jeg har accepteret at sige et par ord på hans vegne.
When is a decline in deficit substantial?
Han ønsker en fælles valuta, der arbejder for at skabe arbejdspladser, og Europa bør koncentrere sig om at opfylde dette mål.
When is a debt sufficiently diminishing?
Euroen skal opfattes som en drivkraft bag økonomiske og sociale fremskridt.
What is a satisfactory pace?
Han siger, at den betyder tre ting for Europa i dag.
Is there any limit to flexibility?
Den vil bidrage til at konsolidere freden på vort kontinent og i vore befolkninger; alle regeringer, der går i den rigtige retning, skal naturligvis kunne komme med, og vi må sikre, at vi ikke overvurderer euroen og dermed ødelægger noget for os selv.
If we take Belgium's debt as being twice the permitted or suggested amount, would there ever be any limit to be imposed or are we just going to say if we are moving consistently and continuously in the right direction the state can qualify? Is there any threat to the date of 1 January?
I Hoppenstedt-betænkningen, der følger efter Metten-betænkningen, gentager han mange af anmodningerne og beklager nogle af de udtalelser, der er fremkommet om, at medlemsstaterne skal indføre besparelser på grund af Maastricht, at det europæiske ideal er blevet undermineret.
The extent to which any such compliance is actually necessary has now developed into a subject of heated debate, because the political concessions made to the opponents of Maastricht, in the form of narrow interpretation and strict compliance, have given added importance to the fiscal convergence criteria - an importance for which there is no basis whatever in the Treaty and no economic justification.
Hr. Harrison har gjort udmærket rede for sin betænkning i dag.
Even today, the gap between the highest and lowest deficits among the EU States has become significantly narrower, and that trend must continue.
Han har tillid til, at der i den tredje fase er tilstrækkeligt mange kvalificerede medlemsstater.
That was not always the attitude when I lodged amendments to that effect a year ago, but the groups seem to have come round to that.
Han påpeger også, at det ikke er muligt at anvende kriterierne bogstaveligt, og hvis det sker, er der ikke tilstrækkelig mange stater, der opfylder kriterierne. I begrundelsen påpeger han, at vi enten kan gøre det med brask og bram, eller vi kan gøre det som nu, hvor vi først sikrer konvergensen og så skaber Unionen.
In conclusion, I should like to say that a debate on whether to have monetary union would run counter to the present trend of a changeover among banks and small- and mediumsized enterprises, and that I greatly welcome the way today's debate is being conducted!
Det har de sagt så tit, at det næsten er blevet til en sandhed.
Are they going to make proposals for the surveillance of the 'outs'?
Medierne i Storbritannien siger det hele tiden.
Are we going to treat Britain with an opt-out in the same way as other 'outs' who want to get in?
En taler nævnte behovet for uddannelse.
If Britain does not want to get in and uses the opt-out, which I deplore, are they in the same position?
Der bliver behov for tilpasning til edb, og især i begyndelsen bliver der sikkert tale om flere job.
How many years will the surveillance obligation to report annually continue?
Så jeg synes, vi skal tilbagevise denne kritik.
I agree with Mr Donnelly's speech in its entirety and particularly his plea that we do fall into the trap of the proposed German strait-jacket.
For eksportørerne, og mit land Skotland eksporterer seks gange mere pr. indbygger end de fleste andre lande, bliver det lettere at vurdere og sammenligne markederne, turisterne kommer til at nyde godt af det, og vi fjerner vekselgebyrerne, der udgør 25 mia. ECU.
Ewing (ARE). - Mr President, I would like to remark that one Member of this House, Mr Goldsmith, who rarely favours us with his presence in debates on economic matters or indeed any matters at all, has said with huge media coverage that Europe is sleep-walking into EMU.
Her er der forskelle.
Is it not deplorable that in the State I belong to there is almost no attempt to inform?
Så det ser ud til, at flere spørgsmål stadig er ubesvarede, blandt andet spørgsmålet om, hvad fleksibilitet betyder.
I suggest and cling to the idea that one side of the note and coin should be similar to the existing issuing notes that are issued by banks.
Hvornår er der tale om et betragteligt fald i underskuddet?
That would go a long way to make the public feel that this was their currency.
Hvad er en tilfredsstillende hastighed?
I would like to congratulate Ireland on having become the tiger economy of Europe and of being able to qualify.
Er der grænser for fleksibiliteten?
Now my Group and my party in Scotland is in favour of EMU.
Jeg vil gerne lykønske hr. Christodoulou med, at han behandler de økonomiske aspekter og ønsket om jobskabelse.
I have the speaking time of Mr Sainjon who was taken ill, and I have agreed to say one or two things on his behalf.
Det var ikke holdningen, da jeg fremsatte ændringsforslag i den retning for et år siden, men det er gruppen åbenbart kommet overens med.
He wants to see a single currency working to create employ ment, and Europe must concentrate its efforts on meeting this objective.
Aftalekontinuiteten er for os et helt vigtigt signal.
The euro must be regarded as the engine
Vedrørende stabilitetspagten har jeg et spørgsmål til Kom missionen. Vil den stille forslag om at overvåge dem, der er omfattet af undtagelsesbestemmelsen?
In Hoppenstedt, which follows on Metten, he repeats many of the demands and expresses his regrets at some of the statements that are being made that States have to make savings because of Maastricht, that the European ideal has been undermined.
Jeg vil gerne med hensyn til de europæiske pengelove, hvis jeg da må kalde dem sådan, påpege, at de vil være et vigtigt instrument til også at overbevise borgerne og de økonomi ske aktører om, at Den Monetære Union kommer.
On the doom-and-gloom side of loss of jobs, I wish the people who talk about the loss of jobs would tell us how exactly the jobs are going to be lost.
Jeg anser det for meget vigtigt, at det står klart.
They say this so often as if it is a fact.
Vi har brug for Den Monetære Union, men hvad angår den oplysning, at priserne ikke forhøjes, skal vi også lade borgerne tilegne sig en ny prisfornemmelse, en vanskelig psykologisk proces, der er nødvendig for Den Monetære Unions succes.
For exporters, and my country Scotland exports six times as much per head as most other countries, the markets will be more calculable and comparable the tourists will benefit and we will remove exchange costs of ECU 25 billion.
Formålet med Rådets forordninger om indførelsen af euroen er at skabe retssikkerhed for de økonomiske aktører, for så vidt angår finansielle og kommercielle transaktioner, såvel før som efter den 1. januar 1999 i forbindelse med indførelsen af euroen og den gradvise udskiftning af de nationale valutaer.
But now I come to a problem: I would certainly like all the projects to be adopted by the Dublin Council of European Heads of State and Government, but I would also like the stability pact to be adopted, as we in the European Parliament call for it to be adopted.
Rådets indfaldsvinkel hertil er efter vores mening korrekt.
Because one thing is clear: a European stability pact that is not concluded by all fifteen Member States, or a European stability council which is not a forum where all fifteen Member States can express an opinion, would be the monetary equivalent of Schengen, something which we in this House reject.
Den kan dog forbedres set fra et juridisk synspunkt, og vi støtter i den forbindelse de i hr. Hermans betænkning indeholdte ændringsforslag.
After all, we cannot demand a new European exchange rate mechanism to provide a link between the euro and the other currencies while, at the same time, trying to introduce the possibility of a new form of exclusion!
Dette er da uden tvivl også ånden og indholdet i de ændringsforslag, som stilles desangående i hr. Hermans betænkning, som vi tilslutter os.
Similarly, my view is that the German Government must unfailingly comply with the European Parliament's demand that no quantified deficit objectives should be written into the stability pact, because, as I see it, not only would that be politically senseless, not to say damaging, but it would also be economically dubious.
I forbindelse med gennemførelsen af Den Monetære Union kræves der optimal informering af borgerne.
There would also be a problem if the Maastricht Treaty were to be amended, and in my view that would not happen at all without the ratification procedure.
Betydningen af overgangen fra en national valuta til euro skal forklares så enkelt som muligt.
So I should be very glad if the Council and Commission felt able to adopt the ideas in the European Parliament's proposal regarding the stability pact.
Denne opgave er ikke løst med udstedelsen af nogle forordninger, hr. kommissær, den egentlige indsats starter først efter vedtagelsen af forordningerne og med alle medlemsstaternes samarbejde.
Randzio-Plath (PSE), chairman of the Subcommittee on Monetary Affairs. - (DE) Mr President, today's monetary debate once again emphasizes that this European Parliament not only insists upon the democratic accountability of monetary institutions and authorities but itself genuinely endeavours to adopt a position which furthers the implementation of monetary union.
Vi må ikke glemme, at der er tale om en ny valuta for alle borgerne, og at et samfunds holdning og adfærd ikke ændres med offentliggørelsen af en retsakt i den nationale lovtidende.
I should first mention the European Currency Act, where I am glad to say that both the Commission's drafts make it very apparent that we want the euro to have a clear legal status - more legal certainty and transparency.
Vi er vidende om, at Kommissionen agter at fremsætte forslag til et direktiv herom.
The continuity of the Treaties is a very important signal for us.
Men vi er langt fra sikre på, at et direktiv vil være tilstrækkeligt.
Most of all, I welcome the fact that the Commission has tackled these projects in good time, as it was called upon to do in Madrid, and indeed in the Green Paper before Madrid.
Vi må overveje en virkelig mobiliseringsplan, som Parlamentet ganske givet gerne vil drøfte med kommissæren.
We want the public, and the markets too, to be able to adjust to monetary union in good time because, of course, a badly prepared project is a bad project, while a good project must be in all our interests.
Lad mig også komme ind på de andre projekter.
It really would be a good thing if these regulations
Med rette gøres der i betænkningerne - for eksempel Hoppenstedt og Harrison - også opmærksom på nødvendigheden af at udvikle pengepolitiske koncepter, der er i overensstemmelse med vores andre mål og integreres i et forbedret policy mix. Her har jeg nu imidlertid et problem.
Consequently, it is the duty of the Commission and of this Parliament to guarantee the security and credibility of the path leading us to that Union and also its soundness and stability once achieved.
Jeg så gerne, at alle projekter vedtages i Dublin af Rådet i dets sammensætning af de europæiske stats- og regeringschefer, men jeg så også gerne, at stabilitetspagten besluttes således, som vi også kræver som Europa-Parlament. Én ting står nemlig klart: En europæisk stabilitetspagt, der ikke indgås mellem de femten medlemsstater, eller et europæisk stabilitetsråd, hvori ikke alle femten stater bestemmer og kan tale med, er et valuta-Schengen, som vi som Europa-Parlament afviser.
The Council is shortly to make a pronouncement on three aspects, which are still to be defined, which are fundamental elements of the credibility, security and stability of future Monetary Union.
Men vi kan ikke på den. ene side kræve, at der i en ny europæisk vekselkurs mekanisme er en forbindelse mellem euroen og de andre valutaer, og på den anden side forsøge at muliggøre en ny undtagelse !
- rather than just a subsequent regulation - were to make it completely clear that the transaction costs that monetary union is going to do away with are not suddenly going to crop up again in the form of conversion costs in the reality of the single European market - the reality of European monetary union.
Det må på ingen måde ske, og for så vidt skal det være meget tydeligt!
I think it is very important to be clear about that.
Jeg erindrer om, at stats- og regeringscheferne på Det Europæiske Råd i Firenze besluttede, at den vurdering, der er omtalt i traktatens artikel 109 J, ikke vil være nødvendig.
- we also need to enable people to learn a new price awareness, a difficult psychological process but one that is necessary for the success of monetary union.
Det ville også være et problem, hvis Maastrichttraktaten blev ændret, og det ville efter min bedømmelse netop ikke gå uden ratificeringsproceduren.
It is not my intention to speak about the first two aspects, since these have been discussed in previous interventions.
Derfor ville jeg hilse det velkommen, hvis Rådet og Kommissionen kunne overtage forslagene i Europa-Parlamentets forslag til stabilitetspagten. ten.
I shall restrict my contribution to the third aspect, which is the subject of Mr Herman's report which we are debating today.
Areito Toledo (PPE). - (ES) Hr. formand, den valuta union, som vil se dagens lys den 1. januar 1999, er et afgørende og uigenkaldeligt skridt i den europæiske integrationsproces.
Council regulations relating to the introduction of the euro have a single objective: to give legal security to operators in their financial and commercial operations throughout the process of introducing the euro and the progressive disappearance of national currencies both be fore and after 1 January 1999.
Der påhviler Kommissionen og Europa-Parlamentet et stort ansvar for at overvåge sikkerheden og troværdigheden i processen hen imod Den Monetære Union såvel som dennes soliditet og stabilitet, efter at den er etableret.
In this sense, we feel the approach is the right one. However, it could be improved in legal terms and we support the amendments Mr Herman proposes in this connection in his report, and we believe that it should be strengthened by a second objective - the objective of offering security and transparency of information to consumers and citizens to explain how their national currency converts into the euro.
Rådet må i nærmeste fremtid udtale sig om tre
This is undoubtedly the spirit and substance of the amendments proposed in the Herman report, which we support.
Giansily mens en mere afbalanceret fortolkning ville nedsætte risikoen for en deling af det indre marked og i samme forhold begrænse den alvorlige fare, som en overvurderet euro ville udgøre.
The change has to be explained and it has to be made easy. The changeover to the euro must not make anyone uncertain about continued purchasing power and everyone must be capable of understanding the need to offer and conduct transactions expressed both in euros and in their national currency for a certain period.
Kan rådsformanden bekræfte, at der på mødet i ØKOFIN på mandag ikke bliver truffet beslutninger, som det blev meddelt i Underhuset i går?
Among the Member States, the sticking point at present is defining those exceptional and temporary circumstances that would enable a State to escape the system of sanctions if its budget deficit were to exceed the imposed ceiling of 3 % of GDP.
Kan han også bekræfte, at artikel 103 udelukker enhver mulighed for at idømme bøder til medlemsstater, der ikke går med i tredje fase af Den Monetære Union?
Our group will, of course, lend its support to Mr Herman's report, but even so I think it worth recalling that it is the monetary law that will define the name of the Union currency, so that there is no need for us to dwell on that.
Kan kommissæren bekræfte, at medlemsstaternes politik ker for at opkræve fællesskabsbaserede afgifter såsom moms og told i deres jagt på at forbedre de offentlige finanser ikke er i strid med Traktatens krav om at behandle fællesskabsbaserede afgifter på samme måde som medlemsstatsbaserede afgifter.
We must not forget that this is a new currency for all citizens and that society's attitudes and behaviour are not modified by the mere publication of the Official Journal. We are well aware that the Commission intends to propose a directive on this subject but we believe that a directive will perhaps be insufficient.
