Denne initiativbetænkning synes derfor at være den naturlige følge af en proces, hvor integreringen af socialpagten i traktaten begrunder det yderligere.
It therefore has a very important role in providing employment, a very important social role, but also a very important political role.
Men det drejer sig ikke om en betænkning, der dukker op isolereret.
The possibility of recognizing, promoting, finding various ways for citizens to participate in the collective good - because that is what we are talking about - in relation to the tradition of the organizations of political parties and trade unions plays a major role in in volving citizens in Europe's construction.
Den ledsager og ledsages af an dre initiativer og andre betænkninger, der udgør en pakke, som vækker bekymring hos dem, der mener, at fagforeningerne skal have andre funktioner og opgaver endblot at deltage i en social dialog udelukkende til forsvar for de økonomiske interesser på et marked, hvor arbejdskraften er en ren vare.
This civil dialogue, as we have called it, was promoted by the Euro pean institutions throughout the Intergovernmental Con ference debate and there is no doubt that the voluntary sector is a new way to resume building a legitimate relationship of trust and participation between citizens and the institutions.
Til sidst vil jeg godt understrege, at de vigtigste aktører blandt arbejdsmarkedets parter er dem, som skal fast lægge de tværnationale faglige rettigheder.
It is for this reason that we greatly appreciate this communication and I would indeed like us to use this debate as well to urge the Council to arrive at an agreement on the legal basis before the first reading on 17 July, otherwise we demonstrate an inability to act for and to have faith in Europe's citizens, in that we make statements and then, by and large, behave quite differently - even if it does not depend on us but on the Council; in short, the European institutions say one thing and then do another.
Theonas (GUE/NGL). - (EL) Hr. formand, jeg vil sige, at jeg er meget bekymret over situationen, hvad angår ar bejdstagernes sociale og fagforeningsmæssige rettigheder i Den Europæiske Union.
Ghilardotti (PSE), rapporteur. - (IT) Mr President, to day we are dealing with quite an important Commission communication, and the debate in the House comes at a rather delicate moment, because, as everyone knows, or ganizations, associations and foundations are faced with the problem of how to finance their activities because of the decision of the Court of Justice.
På den anden side kan anerkendelsen af den faglige organisationsret på fællesskabsniveau, som er nødvendig, have den perverse konsekvens at bidrage til, at fagforeningerne mister den karakter af klasseorganisation, som de også stadig må og skal have, ikke mindst på nationalt niveau.
The Court ruled that the Commission had to stop all funding until a Council decision defines a legal basis for this financing.
Det forekommer os, at dette initiativ ikke afslutter en debat, men snarere åbner den eller gør den aktuel.
I will re turn to this later, but certainly it is strange to talk about promoting associations and foundations, the voluntary world, the third sector - to which we give particular importance in Parliament's communication and work - and at the same time observe that the activity of these organizations is paralysed.
Når Fællesskabet griber ind i grundlæggende arbejdsretlige spørgsmål, er formålet, især i dag, at undergrave og kuldkaste alt, hvad den europæiske fagbevægelse har op nået gennem tiden.
I therefore believe that today's de bate can be an incentive for the Council to reach an inter institutional agreement, as the Parliament has been proposing for some time, that can effectively solve the problem, not just for the 1998 budget but also for the future. ture.
Pinheiro, medlem af Kommissionen. - (PT) Hr. formand, først vil jeg gerne lykønske fru Oomen-Ruijten og Udvalget om Beskæftigelse og Sociale Anliggender for det ud tømmende arbejde, som de har udført vedrørende tværnationale fagforeningsrettigheder i Den Europæiske Union.
The communication that we are talking about today is the result of more than ten years of work based on an own-initiative report of the European Parliament in 1987, a re port that prompted the European Commission to set up a 'social economy' unit at Directorate-General XXIII.
Som bekendt er organisationsretten med henblik på at danne faglige organisationer eller fagforeninger, sådan som det garanteres ved den europæiske konvention til beskyttelse af menneskerettigheder, anerkendt i Amsterdam-traktatens artikel 6, stk. 2 som et generelt princip for fællesskabsretten.
The Commission did a tremendous amount of work, proposing two actions for legislation and the drafting of a White Paper.
Desværre går den betænkning, vi drøfter, stort set i samme retning.
However, all these initiatives encountered difficulties in the Council and in the Commission itself and went no further than a few measures.
Arbejderbevægelsen udsættes i dag for et uhørt angreb på sine rettigheder, og Europa-Parlamentet bør sørge for at støtte dens kamp i stedet for at deltage i forsøget på at undergrave den.
In any event, these problems remain completely unsolved, and we think that to day's debate and the approval of this report and the Com mission's communication can break the deadlock so that the planned legislative activity can continue.
I denne sammenhæng er det vigtigt at understrege, at Amsterdam-traktaten for første gang giver Domstolen kom petence vedrørende institutionernes forhold til menneskerettighederne og de grundlæggende frihedsrettigheder, herunder organisationsretten.
Cot (PSE), draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Citizens ' Rights. - (FR) Mr President, I have two observations to make in my two minutes.
Jeg vil imidlertid gerne tydeligt understrege, at Kommissionen, eftersom organisationsret og strejkeret er undtaget fra bestemmelserne i artikel 137, ikke har til hensigt at foreslå lovgivning på disse områder.
The first, on procedure: I still do not understand the headlong rush of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs in this matter.
Malone (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, inden for de seneste par uger har ILO vedtaget en ny konvention om globale arbejdsmarkedsmæssige standarder, der omfatter retten til at slutte sig til fagforeninger og indgå kollektive aftaler.
The deadlines given to the Committee on Legal Affairs and Citizens' Rights for delivering its opinion has prevented it from paying serious attention to the daytoday legal problems raised by the communication, and with which the associations are very familiar.
Irland er medlem af ILO, og dog giver den irske for fatning, sådan som den fortolkes af vores domstole, ar bejdsgiverne ret til at nægte at anerkende fagforeninger.
The problems in question include those of definition, mutual recognition, responsibility and taxation.
Det seneste og mest outrerede eksempel på dette var til fældet med et luftfartsselskab, Ryanair, hvor dette selskabs ledelse nægtede at forhandle med fagforeningen, SIPTU, vedrørende en gruppe unge, meget dårligt betalte bagagearbejderes arbejdsforhold.
I fear that such precipitate action by.our colleagues might also have prevented Parliament from giving a proper hearing to the voluntary associations and from studying their problems in depth.
Det er absolut vigtigt, at vi inkorporerer retten til fagforeningsmedlemskab og retten til kollektive forhandlinger i europæisk lovgivning.
Even if the communication is an instrument that is a little weaker than what Parliament wanted and what the unit at DG XXIII planned to do, I believe, as does the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, that it is nonetheless of great importance because it defines two elements in what is broadly speaking the social economy, that is associations and foundations, and it defines the characteristics and recognition at European level.
Partnerskab på arbejdspladsen må være baseret på det faste grundlag, at fagforeningerne er
It is an important op eration because it serves to pool the various experiences
Kommissionen mener imidlertid, hr. formand, at spørgsmålet om de grundlæggende sociale rettigheder fordrer en mere omfattende og dybtgående diskussion på Unionsniveau. I denne sammenhæng behandlede en af sessionerne på det europæiske forum for socialpolitik afholdt i sidste uge netop spørgsmålet om, hvorledes debatten om de
I feel, in this matter, that Parliament has wasted an opportunity to make its contribution to this debate, and I fear that this indifference, coming on top of the catastrophically negative signals given by the Court of Justice, the Commission and by the Council with regard to legal bases, will only serve to create a huge gulf between our selves and these very important groups, as Mrs Ghilardotti has reminded us.
Pinheiro grundlæggende rettigheder kan udvides og uddybes.
Cot last few years.
Der udover er der også blevet nedsat en ekspertgruppe, der skal analysere de fremskridt på dette område, som Amsterdam-traktaten har medført, identificere eventuelle mangler og foreslå fremtidige indgrebslinjer.
In our modern, differentiated and individualized societies it is necessary to establish a clear social coherence, and in this context the various associations are a key factor.
Det er hen sigten, at betænkningen skal være færdiggjort inden årets udgang.
The second observation, Mr President, concerns the fundamental issues at stake here.
Jeg er sikker på, at min kollega Padraig Flynn vil holde Parlamentet passende underrettet om resultaterne af de igangværende overvejelser og om de indgrebslinjer, som Kommissionen agter at foreslå.
I would simply like to draw attention to the danger that all this could end up as some kind of pointless intellectual exercise, if it does not result in any concrete proposals, and we are awaiting these proposals.
Forhandlingen er afsluttet.
We have not yet succeeded in creating a common legal basis for associations, mutual societies and foundations, and this is re grettable.
Afstemningen finder sted kl. 11.00.
Yet the Commission's communication is to be welcomed.
Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er betænkning (A4-0203/98) af Ghilardotti for Udvalget om Beskæftigelse og Sociale Anliggender om meddelelse fra Kommissionens om fremme af foreninger og fonde i Europa (KOM(97)0241 - C4-0546/97).
Papakyriazis (PSE). - (EL) Mr President, I think that this report by the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs as this was, and I stress this, drawn up in committee following the marvellous work of Mrs Ghilardotti, is a responsible political position at which the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs has arrived and which it is presenting for debate during this sitting.
Selvom meddelelsen er et lidt svagt instrument i forhold til det, som Parlamentet ønskede, og som GD XXII's kontor havde til hensigt at gøre, så er den dog efter min mening og efter Udvalget om Beskæftigelse og Sociale An liggenders mening meget vigtig, fordi den definerer to elementer inden for samfundsøkonomien i bred forstand, nemlig foreninger og fonde, samt disses karakteristika og anerkendelse på europæisk plan.
The Commission communication is undoubtedly a significant piece of work, which brings to the forefront the important topical issue of the promotion of voluntary organizations and foundations.
Dette er vigtigt, da det gør det muligt for de forskellige medlemsstater at få kendskab til de forskellige erfaringer og situationer.
However, this work of the Eu ropean Commission cannot surely be regarded, I am afraid to say, as having provided a bold and effective so lution to this big problem.
Desuden anerkender og fremmer meddelelsen foreningernes og fondenes roller i forskellige henseender, f.eks. ud fra et beskæftigelsesmæssigt synspunkt.
Glase (PPE). - (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we have already heard quite a bit about the importance of charitable associations and foundations.
Den tredje sektor spiller således en meget vigtig beskæftigelsesmæssig og social rolle, men den spiller også en meget vigtig politisk rolle.
They have important functions in socio-political and employment terms.
Mulig heden for at anerkende, fremme og nå frem til nogle for mer for deltagelse i borgernes fælles velfærd - for det er, hvad det drejer sig om - ved hjælp af forskellige metoder, alt efter traditionerne hos partiernes og fagforeningernes organisationer, er meget vigtig for borgernes deltagelse i konstruktionen af Europa.
The rapporteur has taken this on board, and I can only praise her for her commitment in this area. Unfortunately, she was less than cooperative during the debate in committee and she did not take into account any ideas which were further-reaching or tried to go into more depth.
De europæiske institutioner har fremmet denne civile dialog, som vi har valgt at kalde den, under alle forhandlingerne på regeringskonferencen, og der er ingen tvivl om, at foreningsverdenen udgør en ny måde, hvorpå man kan begynde at skabe anerkendelse, deltagelse og tillid mellem borgerne og institutionerne.
I only want to look at the most important of these again: it must be clear that we do not want to create a new network of national agencies to manage and coordinate this sector, but rather that this network should grow from the existing agencies through cooperation.
Vi sætter derfor stor pris på denne meddelelse, og jeg håber, at vi også vil benytte os af denne debat til at rette en kraftig opfordring til Rådet om at nå frem til en aftale om det juridiske grundlag inden førstebehandlingen, det vil sige inden den 17. juli, ellers viser vi nemlig hverken vores evner eller vores tillid over for borgerne.
So the report, the long preparation, the assessment of experiences, which has resulted from the work in the Com mittee on Employment and Social Affairs (and at this juncture I must say that I cannot understand Mr Cot's po sition), accurately underlines the importance of this issue in the European Union today and gives it the fillip it needs.
Hermed mener jeg, at vi erklærer nogle ting, men at vi foretager os noget helt andet - selvom det ikke afhænger af os, men af Rådet.
Today, in view of overall progress, of the problem of employment and the problem of unemployment, of proof that local initiative and the exploitation of local human potential as well as of natural resources, can pay off in this global society, this report indeed makes a significant contribution.
De europæiske institutioner siger med andre ord én ting og gør noget andet.
I believe that it must be regarded in this way, as a point of contact with the society of citizens and an activation, a recognition, of the role that it can play.
Ghilardotti (PSE), ordfører. - (IT) Hr. formand, vi behandler i dag en temmelig vigtig meddelelse fra Kommissionen.
I warmly welcome the proposal to improve access to Structural Funds for NGOs, but we must also be realistic about the allocation of these funds.
Debatten her i salen falder på et noget vanskeligt tidspunkt, for som vi alle ved, er der et problem i forbindelse med organisationernes, foreningernes og fondenes aktiviteter, og det er Domstolens afgørelse om, at alle finansieringsaktiviteter skal afbrydes.
Often very little is left over for those who really need it, especially in small projects, after the cost of administration in terms of both allocation and sponsorship.
Kommissionen bliver samtidig opfordret til ikke at fortsætte med finansieringsaktiviteterne, så længe Rådet ikke har fastlagt det juridiske grundlag.
Consultants and the sponsors themselves are financed from it. And this leads me on to my most important point.
Det vil jeg vende tilbage til om lidt, men det er naturligvis mærkeligt at tale om at fremme foreninger og fonde, der udfører frivilligt arbejde inden for den tredje sektor - som vi med meddelelsen og med Parlamentets arbejde tillægger en særlig vægt - og så samtidig at måtte konstatere, at disse organisationers aktiviteter lammes.
In point 14 of the conclusion, the rapporteur mentions that part of the funds for SMEs should be held back for third system SMEs.
Disse initiativer blev dog alle mødt af vanskelig heder enten i Rådet eller inden for Kommissionen selv, og de løb til en vis grad ud i sandet. Der er dog tale om spørgsmål, der står helt åbne, og som vi håber, at debatten her i dag samt godkendelsen af denne betænkning og af Kommissionens meddelelse vil kunne løse, så lovgivningsprocessen kan fortsætte.
In conclusion, I wish to stress that two topical issues, the promotion of national action programmes against unemployment and the reorganization of the Structural Funds for the regions are, taken together, I believe, an opportunity to link the issue we are debating with these major de velopments in the European Union.
Cot (PSE), ordfører for udtalelsen fra Udvalget om Ret lige Anliggender og Borgernes Rettigheder. - (FR) Hr. formand, to minutter, to bemærkninger. Den første om proceduren.
Wolf (V), draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy. -(DE) Mr President, I believe that the whole question of voluntary organizations and the third system is one whose full significance we have only begun to appreciate in the
Jeg forstår stadig ikke det ubegribelige hastværk, som Udvalget om Beskæftigelse og Sociale Anliggender har udvist i denne sag.
Secondly, the existing funds for the SME are currently so small that the charitable sector cannot also have a share of it.
De tidsfrister, som blev givet Udvalget om Retlige Anliggender og Borger nes Rettigheder til at ytre sig, har forhindret dem i grundigt at undersøge de daglige juridiske problemer, der om tales i meddelelsen, og som foreningerne udmærket ken der.
Thirdly, notwithstanding the euphoria about the effects on employment of the third system, we must differentiate between two things.
Det drejer sig f.eks. om spørgsmål om definition, om gensidig anerkendelse, om ansvar eller om skatteforhold.
This sector has an important role to play in reintegrating people into employment and in promoting enterprise.
Jeg frygter, at dette hastværk fra vores kollegers side også har forhindret Parlamentet i at lytte ordentligt til for eningsverdenen og nå til bunds i dens problemer.
Management in its truest sense is often carried out under the most difficult of conditions. How-
Wolf (V), ordfører for udtalelsen fra Udvalget om Økonomi, Valutaspørgsmål og Industripolitik. - (DE) Hr. for mandjeg tror, at spørgsmålet om de frivillige organisationer og dermed om den tredje sektor er et spørgsmål, hvis betydning vi i det hele taget først har forstået hele række vidden af i de sidste år.
Lindqvist (ELDR). - (SV) Mr President, there are many different voluntary organizations throughout Europe, such as in the environmental area, the social area, trade unions, peace movements and women's movements, which often have very active members and a lot of con tacts with their members in the respective Member States.
I vores moderne, differentierede, individualiserede samfund skal der udtrykkeligt etableres en samfundsmæssig sammenhæng, og her er de forskel ligartede foreninger en væsentlig faktor for den samfundsmæssige kohærens.
By supporting voluntary organizations you support the many people throughout Europe who have the energy to do something just like us in Parliament. Supporting voluntary organizations and foundations also creates under standing of our work here in Parliament, and shows that we do more than simply concern ourselves with trade and economics.
Min anden bemærkning har at gøre med sagernes kerne. For mit eget vedkommende opfatter jeg meddelelsen som en interessant opgørelse over praksis og problemer.
With new technology and the availability of more financially rewarding opportunities for young people, let us not close our eyes to this real threat.
Jeg glæder mig over dette initiativ, hvor de ansvarlige i Kom missionen har foretaget en tur rundt i EU for at indlede forhandlinger med de ansvarlige i forskellige foreningers ngo'er, en indsats for bevidstgørelse, en informationsindsats, og også en indsats for mobilitet.
We cannot, however, turn the clock back but through carefully constructed training and educational programmes involving organizations such as CEJA, the European umbrella body for farm organizations and, in my own country, Macra Na Feirme, our young farmers' organization, we can create the economic and social infrastructure necessary to encourage and help more young people to pursue farming as a credible career.
Jeg vil blot påpege faren for, at alt dette bare munder ud i en frugtesløs intellektuel øvelse, såfremt der ikke kommer konkrete forslag ud af det, og vi afventer disse forslag.
We must take up that challenge in the context of Agenda 2000.
For mit vedkommende, ønsker jeg, at disse forslag klart indgår i selve idéen om enhedsmarkedet og i de økonomi ske aktiviteter, og at man ikke betragter dette foreningsmiljø som blotværende et sted for en slags velgørenhed, samt at man lægger vægt på de rigtige problemer, som man en dag vil stå over for.
Schorling (V). - (SV) Mr President, voluntary organizations, or the charitable sector, are an important sector of society as the bearer of values which we want to safe guard and which we want to encourage, that is, that citizens actively participate in and thereby also gain influence over the development of society.
Den Europæiske Union har her en noget kompliceret historie, det har ordføreren for Udvalget om Retlige Anliggender og Borgernes Rettigheder gjort klart.
I would like to emphasize three things. Firstly, increased support for voluntary organizations through the Structural Funds is positive.
Hidtil er det ikke lykkedes at skabe et fælles retsgrundlag for foreninger, gensidige selskaber og fonde.
One per cent of the European Social Funds is good. Secondly, voluntary organizations can create jobs.
Det er beklageligt.
It is possible to create jobs in a third sector.
Vi ønsker, at denne sektor udvikler sig stærkt.
Thirdly, and most importantly, we must make use of the expertise and commitment of voluntary organizations and foundations by in cluding them in our legislative work and other Parliamentary work in a natural way.
Vi ønsker, at denne sektor ikke længere betragtes med mistro fra myndighedernes side eller fra bestemte arbejdsmarkedsparters side, der anser sig selv for at være fremtrædende.
In Scandinavia we have a very good system of consultation which means that on important issues voluntary organizations and foundations are regularly given an opportunity to express themselves and their views are gathered.
Vi ønsker, at sektoren udvikler sig i hele sin mangfoldighed, og jeg mener, at det i den forbindelse er tvingende nødvendigt med undersøgelse, refleksion og rådgivning.
That is also a good way to improve understanding of the EU and the work of the Euro pean Parliament.
Derefter bør vi skridt for skridt fastlægge og udvikle muligheder for støtte, muligheder for en tilpasset lovgivningsmæssig ramme og også muligheder for udvik ling af det europæiske virke.
I would really like to support Mrs Ghilardotti's proposal to strengthen the charitable sector at the local level as far as the Structural Funds are concerned, so that they can be active partners in the planning and implementation of cofinanced measures.
Jeg mener, at Kommissionens meddelelse er et første og et godt skridt i den retning. I den forstand kan jeg bifalde meddelelsen.
We should not interfere with the internal work ings of foundations, such as who should be their representatives.
Kommissionens meddelelse er uden tvivl et betydningsfuldt stykke arbejde, som vil sætte fokus på det vigtige og aktuelle spørgsmål om fremme af foreningers og fondes rolle.
Furthermore, I would also like us to bear in mind that cooperatives can also be included in voluntary organizations and the charitable sector, even if their charter says they should promote the economic interests of their members.
Jeg er dog bange for, at man ikke kan sige, at Kom missionens arbejde kommer med en modig og frugtbar løsning på dette omfattende problem.
Those interests are restricted to keeping the activities go ing, so it is not about making a profit.
