Hvis det nye GATT da er så positivt, som det altid påstås, hvorfor kan vi så ikke få tilstrækkelig tid til at gå aftalerne efter i sømmene?
But I am obliged, in a personal capacity - I involve only myself in saying this - to conclude that the GATT system, as it stands today, cannot be accepted.
Dét gad jeg vide!
There are two reasons for this.
Moorhouse (PPE). - (EN) Hr. formand, indledningsvis vil jeg gerne lykønske kommissæren, Sir Leon Brittan, med det, som både jeg og andre betragter som en fornem triumf, nemlig at have ført hvad der har været en langtrukken og ambitiøs forhandlingsrunde til afslutning.
When it comes to the enlargement of the Union to include countries from Central and Eastern Europe, although the preliminary conditions for setting under way negotiations will be quite difficult to establish, we shall have -specifically prior to that enlargement - to clarify a number of points.
Jeg vil også gerne, som andre, lykønske vor ordfører, fru Randzio-Plath med at have færdiggjort sin betænkning på en så dygtig måde inden for så kort en tidsfrist.
It will be necessary then, first and foremost, to identify forms of aid to agriculture that respect the ceiling on overall support permitted under the GATT and avoid calling into question the level of support that the Union is permitted to accord its agricultural sector.
Berès (PSE). - (FR) Hr. formand, den franske socialistiske delegation er naturligvis positiv over for samhandelsudviklingen, over for definitionen af reglerne for den internationale handel og urolig over for enhver form for tilbagevenden til protektionisme.
The first reason is that the GATT system, as it now operates, enshrines American hegemony, both in content - and if I had a little time we could go through every chapter, industrial, agricultural and the rest - and procedurally.
Af den grund er oprettelsen af Verdenshandelsorganisationen en god ting. Den skal muliggøre den retfærdige organisation af verdens handelen ved at undgå enhver magtstilling og ved at begunstige de fattigste lande.
I am thinking in particular - other speakers have highlighted this - of the right the Americans have reserved to themselves to impose unilateral sanctions by virtue of article 301 of their trade law, not counting what we heard during the debate in the United States Congress over the last few days.
Jeg ville ønske, jeg kunne tale i venligere tone om hr. Goldsmith, som har valgt at udveksle fornærmelser med medlemmerne af Udvalget om Eksterne Økonomiske Forbindelser, og som synes at mene, at det kan træde i stedet for argumenter.
Finally, we shall have to find appropriate solutions to the economic and monetary policies of those countries to enable us to deal with a possible climate of monetary instability in those countries.
Jeg bliver nødt til at oplyse Dem om, at hr. Goldsmith særdeles ofte har været fraværende fra REX-Udvalgets møder om både dette og alle mulige andre emner.
So the first reason is that the GATT agreements, such as they are, enshrine the hegemony and the economic, banking and industrial domination of multinationals, principally under American management.
Men den internationale handel har ikke nogen kraft i sig selv, hvis den ikke kan skabe arbejdspladser og sikre en afbalanceret og varig vækst. Vi mener, at den aftale, som vi i dag bliver bedt om at godkende, er en dårlig aftale.
The commitment entered into in relation to those countries must, however, avoid focusing all of the political and economic attention of the Member States of the Union on support for that region alone, but provide a sound basis for improved partnership with the countries of the Mediterranean Basin also, and indeed the House has already resolved to pay particular attention to them.
Det er ikke et godt skridt på vejen til en mere retfærdig økonomisk verdensorden. Årsagerne til denne bedømmelse finder vi i fru Radzio-Plaths fremragende betænkning. ning.
We have, above all to avoid - in line with what was suggested in the White Paper - slowing down progress in the measures undertaken so far to remove monetary, administrative and cultural obstacles and which will make globalization and integration of markets a real possibility.
Den sociale klausul: De ministre, der var samlet i Marrakech, accepterede ikke optagelse af mindstenormer for social beskyttelse.
Let me conclude, Mr President, by saying that, on the basis of those arguments, the Forza Europa Group will be voting for the resolution.
Nu hvor dette er sagt, mener jeg, at det ikke alene, for en stor del, skyldes kommissæren, at aftalen kom i stand, men også det faktum, at vi er en Europæisk Union, der kunne forhandle på lige fod med USA og, naturligvis, resten af verden.
The second reason, which is perhaps much more important and to which the American people may also fall victim, is that the GATT agreements enshrine a style of economic and social development that is unfair and destructive.
Men aftalen kommer ikke kun til at gavne Den Europæiske Union; udviklingslandene har været inddraget i højere grad i disse forhandlinger end på noget andet tidspunkt.
These agreements are destructive of the autonomy of countries, destructive of economic balance, in particular through the abandonment of the countryside -what is happening in Chiapas at this moment is not entirely alien to that - and by urban hyperconcentration, with its trail of unemployment, misery, drugs and insecurity.
Over gangsperioder og andre former for differentieret behandling bør kunne hjælpe dem med at konkurrere.
I also note that the protective clauses on the environment and the social clause have not been retained or guaranteed.
Det er således med stor glæde, jeg i dag stemmer for denne betænkning.
Briefly, we are in the presence of a kind of mirage.
Anden årsag: Miljøet.
This is not the case with the proposed agreements.
Valuta: Jeg er sikker på at prædike for de overbeviste ved at sige, at alle de smukkeste konstruktioner i verden med hensyn til toldafgifter kan fejes væk i en håndevending af konkurrerende devalueringer.
Eekhoff, President-in-Office of the Council. - (DE) Mr President, it is both sensible and necessary to weigh up the various arguments for and against this agreement.
Men den aftale, som vi har fået foreslået, nævner intet om dette emne.
But in my view there is no doubt that we need a division of labour and its basis is trade.
Det er dog et centralt element, hvis man ønsker, at aftalen skal fungere godt, og hvis man ønsker at få midler til effektivt at bekæmpe arbejdsløsheden.
Nor do I think there is any doubt that the countries eager to join the European Union want to do so because they would like a large market and because they are trading countries.
Fjerde årsag: Denne aftale vil formindske afsætningsmulighederne og beskyttelsen af den europæiske ar bejdskraft.
I can only emphasize once again that both the European Council and the individual Member States have decided in favour of signing this GATT agreement, in a spirit of great responsibility for their people, their citizens.
Er det tidspunktet?
I earnestly request you to do so for the sake of our citizens.
I den nuværende internationale handelsstruktur, hvor forholdene er baseret på magt og styrke, og hvor forholdet mellem arbejdsgiver og arbejdstager ikke er reguleret, kan frihandelsprincipperne kun være skadelige, navnlig for landene i den tredje verden, i modsætning til, hvad der sker i fæstningen Europa.
De Luca (FE). - (IT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to begin by complimenting Mr Santini who has managed, in a very short time, to draft an opinion which was unanimously approved in the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development despite the difficult and controversial nature of the subject-matter.
Femte årsag: Den aftale, vi har fået foreslået, fastholder audiovisuel udelukkelse.
On the decision-making procedure: I have made a few statements on that.
Nogle siger: »Kultur er ikke GATT. Det er en succes«.
I believe the Commission has also
Og til slut, hvad angår landbruget, vil jeg i forbindelse med ændringerne inden for de fælles markedsorganisationer råde Dem, kære kolleger, til at udvise større forsigtighed, når Traktaten skal ratificeres.
Brittan, Sir Leon, Member of the Commission. - Mr President, I shall not attempt to deal with every point that has been made - you would not wish me to do that - but there are some themes that I think need taking up.
Vi ser mere fornuft og ret færdighed i visse udviklingstiltag på landbrugsområdet, som kan sikre konkurrenceevne og modernisering i en ny social og miljømæssig sammenhæng, som er hoved grundlaget for samfundsmæssig velfærd.
We will only win that debate if we persuade the developing countries that we are not, as one of the speakers in this debate said, trying to introduce protection by the back door but are legitimately trying to help them raise their own standards and also if, as another speaker said, we make it clear that what we are doing, in advancing social and environmental protection, is doing that on a multilateral basis, on the basis of a consensus.
De forslag, som vi derfor tillader os at lægge frem til videre behandling, har tre mål: intensivere og i højere grad målrette de strukturpolitiske foranstaltninger; udjævne udligningsbeløbene for at skaffe nye instrumenter til en forbedring af produktkvaliteten; endelig afkræve tredjelande - især udviklingslandene - en garanti for, at de indfører et minimum af social og miljømæssig beskyttelse. telse.
One of the main features of the Uruguay Round which is beneficial, I believe, is the creation of the World Trade Organization and a step forward for multilateralism, the creation of an organization able to enforce the mies of trade and not a unilateral approach towards the problems of world trade and the resolution of disputes. putes.
Erika Mann (PSE). - (DE) Jeg finder denne alliance mellem kritikerne her særdeles underholdende!
First of all Mrs Randzio-Plath's specific point.
Det, der her foregår på højrefløjen og hos De Grønne og som man ellers ikke får noget at vide om og hvem der vil stemme for denne aftale - det er en enstående historisk situation.
If the WTO establishes new mies for international trade, as was done during the Umguay Round, will the Commission and the Council follow the same procedures as for the Umguay Round in terms of the association of the Euro pean Parliament?
Jeg vil gerne anmode Dem om at overveje, i hvilken funktion De egentlig sidder her. De er medlem af Europa-Parlamentet. Jeg ved ikke, om De er klar over, at De som medlem af Europa-Parlamentet er et led i internationale aftaler og internationale sammenhænge. De er ikke ansvarlige for Deres regioner eller f.eks. for en national protektionisme.
The legal base for cooperation between the Commission, Council and the European Parliament will be the same as in the Uruguay Round.
Kun hvis disse betingelser opfyldes, vil den samstemmende udtalelse, som vi giver i vores egenskab af Parlament, ikke samtidig være en dødsdom over landbruget i Syd-Europa.
In that context, as several speakers have said, what about the American announcement of the setting up of a panel of five judges to look at the dispute settlement procedure, and what about their threat, as it has been described, to withdraw from the Uruguay Round and the procedure that has been set up to do that?
Jeg ved ikke, om det allerede med denne klarhed er gået op for Dem, hvilket ansvar De her har.
Well, I think what has been said is completely misleading.
Det ønsker vi også.
The European Union has the same right.
De kan ikke få en globalisering, en internationalisering af de økonomiske og handelsmæssige forbindelser og samtidig kræve: Dér skal der værsgo ikke opstå arbejdspladser, de skal blive hos os!
The Americans have got no more rights than we have and, if I may say so, it is ridiculous to pretend that they do.
Campos (PSE). - (PT) Hr. formand, landbruget i EF vil som følge af klimatiske forhold, jordens beskaffenhed, landbrugsstrukturen og den eksisterende sociale dumping ikke kunne klare sig i fri konkurrence med de andre verdensdele.
To describe the Umguay Round as being some kind of surrender to the Americans may play well in national fora and on national television but carries no credibility for anyone who has been involved in the negotiations.
Da Fællesskabet anser landbruget for at være en strategisk sektor af allerstørste betydning for stabiliteten, har det forhandlet mekanismer til at forsvare det i GATT-aftalerne.
If I may say so, it does not carry much credibility for somebody to make an accusation of that kind and then to walk out before there is any reply.
Hvad er så egentlig hoved punktet i GATT?
It is nonsense.
Det er i første række dette forsøg, og det er først i anden række alt det, De kritiserer, nemlig et struktureringselement.
One of the themes that was raised was the question of agriculture and it was suggested that the Umguay Round was in some way going to be harmful as far as agriculture was concerned.
Der findes endnu et princip, og det er et meget vigtigt princip, som i øvrigt også gælder for Den Europæiske Union: Alle bliver nødt til at give noget og finde frem til et kompromis, for at der til slut kan blive mere.
Nothing could be further from the truth. The fact of the matter is that, sad as it is to relate, the reduction in the population engaged in agriculture is something that has been going on in the European Union for many years, the problems of the common agricultural policy are something that has been going on for many years and the necessity to take action to reform the common agricultural policy was something that was apparent long before the Umguay Round was concluded and action was taken in 1992.
For så vidt angår korn og kød, som er de nordeuropæiske landes vigtigste produktioner, trådte ovennævnte mekanismer i funktion, endog inden de respektive aftaler trådte i kraft.
Indeed, the action which has caused difficulties in the mral areas, in spite of the attempts to compensate the mral areas for the difficulties that they have been experiencing, is not caused by the Umguay Round but by our own internal problems.
På Jumbo-Rådets møde i 1993 blev der truffet aftale om identiske foranstaltninger til fordel for de vigtigste middelhavsproduktioner.
I believe that the 1992 reform of the common agricultural policy will not solve all the problems but it is certainly pointing in the right direction.
Der skal nu for handles fælles markedsordninger for vin, frugt og grønsager, som er de vigtigste middelhavsproduktioner.
In particular, the granting of income aid and the encouragement of environmental measures and the assistance for mral areas as a whole has to be the right way to go.
I Kommissionens og Rådets papirer om ordningen for disse markeder siges der intet om hverken de omtalte aftaler eller den beslutning, der blev truffet på Jumbo-Rådets møde.
It may not be the end of the road but I do not think that it is at all reasonable to blame the Umguay Round for that.
Jeg vil gerne indtrængende anmode kritikerne om at overveje endnu en gang, hvilken række de som helhed placerer sig i.
In the course of the negotiations we were in close touch with all sections of the European economy, as well as the Member States directly, and all the concessions that we made were of a balanced kind.
På indeværende tidspunkt, hvor forhandlingen om ind gåelsen af GATT-aftalerne finder sted i Parlamentet, er det absolut nødvendigt at få garantier fra Rådet og Kommissionen vedrørende de tidligere indgåede forpligtelser. telser.
Indeed, if one looks at the nature of the Umguay Round as far as agriculture is concerned, apart from ensuring promises compatible with what the common agricultural policy reform involved, it does one thing that was of enormous importance.
Burtone (PPE). - (IT) Hr. formand, også vi er overbevist om, at GATT-aftalerne vil kunne blive afgørende for den fremtidige udvikling af verdenshandelen, idet vi dog samtidig nærer en vis bekymring med hensyn til de negative indvirkninger, som disse aftaler kunne få på produktionsstrukturen i en række unionsmedlemslande.
It guarantees the legitimacy of the common agricultural policy in international fora, something that was under constant challenge and now we have that in the Uruguay Round for the first time ever. I think it is quite extraordinary that those who speak for mral areas should make no mention of that at all when it is clearly a fundamental point.
Graden af Europas afhængighed af udlandet i frugt- og grønsags- sektoren er stigende.
All the people who mentioned particular sectors have not mentioned the sectors in which there were zero-for-zero agreements.
Det er meningsløst, at Fællesskabet drøm mer om en fælles forsvarspolitik, men undlader at beskytte sin uafhængighed på fødevareområdet.
In all those sectors the European Union was the trading area which had a surplus in trade, was able to be competitive and therefore stood to gain most. And it was not an accident.
Det er ikke Fællesskabets filosofi at diskriminere mellem medlems staterne.
It was because only in those sectors were we prepared to agree to a zero-for-zero.
Det er heller ikke anbefalelsesværdigt at indgå aftaler, som ikke overholdes.
And there were many other sectors which the Americans asked for and where they got nothing or got only a small proportion of what they wanted.
Især landbrugssektoren vil ved en større åbning af markedet være tvunget til at indføre tilpasningsordninger for at klare konkurrencen fra importen fra tredjelande.
As far as the social and environmental issues are concerned, I respect people's concern about that and I have indicated very clearly my own support.
Disse opererer nemlig med meget lave produktionsomkostninger i kraft af en ringere social beskyttelse af arbejdsstyrken og mindre strenge regler på miljøområdet.
But I think it is necessary, and it is important, to reflect the fact that for very understandable reasons the same people who have anxieties on that score and want us to maintain social and environmental concerns in the future are also the people
Men når dette beløb deles mellem alle jordens indbyggere, bliver det kun til 40 dollars pr. person.
I was under intense pressure to remove all protection.
Og udbyttet vil blive ulige fordelt, idet størsteparten vil gå til de dele af verden, som i forvejen er rige.
But because I knew that there were some sectors that were very sensitive we did not agree to do that.
Vinderne bliver de 35.000 multinationale selskaber, som kontrollerer handelen og distributionen i verden.
It is ridiculous to present this in a demagogic way as some kind of a surrender to the United States and multilateralism.
For første gang indlemmes handelen med landbrugsprodukter, både hvad angår import og eksport, i bestemmelser ne.
That is what the Uruguay Round is about.
Opmærksomheden skal imidlertid henledes på, at vi naturligvis har lov til at give udtryk for betænkeligheder i forbindelse med en så omfattende aftale, som resultatet af GATT-forhandlingerne er. Jeg er således enig med mine kolleger i, at Parlamentet skal med i disse principielle politiske afgørelser.
It is about giving breathing space and opportunities for the Euro pean economy to advance, whether it is for the new and prosperous and progressive sectors to make money for those working in them, or whether it is in order to earn the wealth to shield those who need shielding, to give social protection or to ease the pangs of transition.
Det drejer sig her i sidste instans om arbejdspladser og om ændringer også i vor økonomi.
I have every sympathy for those who are suffering from them.
EU's regeringschefer besluttede i denne uge i Essen at oprette et råd for global konkurrenceevne. Alle disse institutioner - WTO, rådet for global konkurrenceevne, EU-Domstolen og EU-traktaten - er oprettet med det formål at fratage de folkevalgte den demokratiske kontrol.
I say to this House in conclusion: the Uruguay Round is the way forward.
Manglen på et venstreorienteret alternativ skaber et vakuum, som bliver udfyldt af højrefløjen. I alle EU-lande er højrefløjen gået frem.
The alternative vision which some sitting behind me seek to project is one which has its attraction superficially.
I Frankrig fik et nyt højreparti, som appellerer til desillusionerede arbejderklassevælgere, og som blev dannet kun tre måneder før Europavalget, 13,5% af stemmerne.
It may be a good platform on which demagogues can build, but it offers no future for European industry and the European economy.
Der blev endvidere taget alt for lidt hensyn til hygiejnestandarder ne og de fytosanitære betingelser i GATT-forhandlingerne.
Goldsmith (EDN). - (FR) Mr President, I have been attacked three times: by Sir Leon Brittan, Mr Falconer and Mr Moorhouse.
Jeg vil kort omtale nogle områder inden for landbruget. get.
As what these three have in common is that they are English, I shall reply to them in English.
Jeg går ind for almen ejendomsret til kapital med henblik på at sikre, at kapitalressourcerne anvendes til gavn for hele verden, dens befolkninger og dens miljø.
As to the question of jobs, I agree with Mr Falconer to this extent: that growth is not a guarantee for employ ment.
Jeg finder intet af dette i GATT-aftalen.
Of course it is not a guarantee for employment.
Spørgsmålet om kvalitetsstandarden i forbindelse med import er overhovedet ikke løst.
It is a fallacy, and a dangerous fallacy, to believe that those fundamental structural problems can really be dealt with by refusing growth or refusing trade.
Således er det f.eks. i kødproduktionen i nogle lande tilladt at behandle dyrene med hormoner, medens det hos os er forbudt. Eller tag mælkemarkedet.
Many participants in this debate have stressed the percentage of people work ing in the European Union who gain their living through exports.
I USA er BST derimod tilladt, og vi har inden for rammerne af disse aftaler givet amerikanerne adgang til vort marked.
The fact of the matter is that the European Union is more dependent on exports than any other trading group or trading bloc.
Det er ting, man simpelt hen bliver nødt til at tage op i Europa-Parlamentet, da der ellers opstår konkurrenceforvridning.
Therefore it is absolute fantasy - if I may say so - to develop and expect people to believe this kind of idyllic myth of Community preference, the idyllic myth of happy peasants protected against all the world.
Dér har man gjort alt for store indrømmelser over for amerikanerne.
It could not exist. It would condemn us to penury if you tried to go down that road.
Ja til frihandel, men ikke for enhver pris. Lad os lykønske vores forhandlere, der på bedste måde har forsøgt at forsvare Europas interesser.
Sir Leon Brittan suggested that because I had got to know the world and worked in every continent of the world, somehow that made me less capable of understanding the economic effects of GATT.
Men jeg er nødt til, person ligt, - jeg forpligter kun mig selv ved at sige det - at konstatere, at GATT-systemet, som det er i dag, ikke kan accepteres. Og hovedsageligt af to årsager.
I can tell you now that my experience in the real world is incomparable to that of Sir Leon, who has lived in the world of lawyers and politicians and for whom the real world is a mystery.
Vi forbeholder os en afsluttende udtalelse om de enkelte produktområder inden for landbruget.
In so far as Mr Falconer and Mr Moorhouse are concerned, there are two ways in which I can do my business of trying to make people aware of what GATT is all about.
Første årsag: GATT-systemet, som det fungerer, fastslår det amerikanske overherredømme såvel på det indholdsmæssige plan - og vi burde, hvis jeg havde tid til det, se på hvert af kapitlerne om industri, landbrug m.m. - som på det proceduremæssige plan.
One way is by staying in the committee - the REX Committee - and listening to the most utter, absurd platitudes without question, listening to people unquestioningly accepting every single premise, acting, as I have said, as agents and lobbyists.
