Nummer 6. hvorefter programmets effektivitet skal evalueres på grundlag af antallet af skabte arbejdspladser. Nummer 9 gentager samme synspunkt som det, der kom til udtryk i ændringsforslag 5.
How will the Commission ensure that, when regional free-trade areas are set up, new discriminatory obstacles to third countries are not set up, and that free-trade areas do not generally dilute the process of liberalization and thus undermine the aims of the WTO?
Jeg vil gerne her sige følgende helt klart: Det drejer sig ikke kun om bogen, den blev bare dråben, der fik bægeret til at flyde over.
I wish to make one thing quite clear: it is not just a question of the book — that was merely the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Fru Bjerregaard har en kedelig fortid.
Mrs Bjerregaard has a murky past.
Lad os være ærlige: Hun havde vanskeligheder som minister, fordi hun brugte for mange penge.
Let us be frank: she had problems as a minister, because she spent too much money.
Hun havde af de samme grunde — interesse for at drive gæk og for penge — problemer som gruppeformand.
She had problems as a party chairman for the same reasons — a taste for gambling and money.
Så blev hun sendt til os, fordi man åbenbart ville af med hende hjemme.
Then she was sent to us. because they obviously wanted to get rid of her at home.
Jeg vil gerne spørge endnu en gang, hvorledes man kan byde os en sådan kommissær. Ville det ikke være bedre, at man henstiller til hende, således som hr. de Vries i sin tid foreslog, at hun træder tilbage?
Brittan, Sir Leon, Vice-President of the Commission. — Mr President, if I were not flexible enough to deal with that question, I think I would be in a bad way!
Sir Leon Brittan. — (EN) Det ærede medlem forventer selvfølgelig ikke af mig, at jeg kommenterer nogen af mine kollegers fortid i detaljer.
I would just like to ask how we can be expected to accept such a Commissioner.
For så vidt angår overholdelsen af traktatbestemmelserne, er jeg sikker på, at de vil blive overholdt, og vi er alle fast besluttede på, at den normale kollegialitet i Kommissionen vil blive bibeholdt.
Would it not be better to put it to her, as Mr de Vries once suggested, that she should resign?
Følgende ændringer kan godkendes for så vidt angår hensigten, der svarer til de synspunkter, som allerede kommer til udtryk i Kommissionens forslag: Nummer 3, som lægger øget vægt på samarbejdsmulighederne og virkningerne af samspil let mellem de nationale initiativer. Nummer 4, der drejer sig om, hvor godt forslaget supplerer de foranstaltninger, der træffes af medlemsstaterne.
Since its entry into force in 1948, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade has recognized the desirability of increasing freedom of trade by the development of customs unions and free trade areas.
Nummer 24 om samarbejde med erhvervsrepræsentanter, lige muligheder for kvinder og mænd samt samarbejde mellem uddannelsescentrene og dem. der har udarbejdet uddannelsesmodulerne.
Brittan, Sir Leon. — The honourable gentleman would obviously not expect me to comment on the detailed history of any of my colleagues.
Afslutningsvis kan Kommissionen dog ikke, af institutionelle grunde, acceptere ændring nr. 17.
As far as the observance of the rules of the Treaty is concerned.
Kommissionen vil naturligvis løbende orientere Parlamentet om, hvilke projekter, de finansieres inden for programmets rammer.
I am sure that they will be observed and we are all determined that the normal collegiality of the Commission will be maintained.
Formanden. — Forhandlingen er afsluttet.
This element is further specified in Article 24(5).
Krarup (EDN). — Jeg vil gerne tage afstand fra spørgerens personlige angreb på Ritt Bjerregaard, og til forskel fra spørgeren anser jeg det for et prisværdigt politisk initiativ, og jeg har sympati for den tanke, at man går ind bag den anonyme Kommission.
Krarup (EDN). — (DA) Mr President, I should like to distance myself from the questioner's personal attack on Mrs Bjerregaard. Unlike him, I see this as a commendable political initiative, and I have some sympathy for the idea of exposing the anonymous Commission.
Men der er et principielt spørgsmål, som jeg synes står tilbage.
However, I think there is a question of principle which remains.
Jeg kan oplyse, at bogen er solgt i en halv million eksemplarer på en uge, hvilket er meget efter dansk målestok — det er vist nok til Guiness Rekordbog for Danmarks vedkommende.
I can tell the House that this book has sold half a million copies in a week, which is a great many by Danish standards — certainly enough to make the Guinness Book of Records, as far as Denmark is concerned.
Fru Bjerregaard udtalte i et inter-
In an interview on 2 October 1994, Mrs Bjerregaard told the major Danish newspaper 'Politiken' that her duties as a
Dagsorden — Aktuel og uopsættelig debat {foreslåede emner): se protokol len.
1 ) Agenda — Topical and urgent debate t list of subjects selected): see Minutes
Denne nye bestemmelse skulle styrke vor interne evaluering af forslag om regionale handelsområder og sikre, at de fortsat går hånd i hånd med det multilaterale system.
This new mie should reinforce our internal evaluation of regional trade area proposals and ensure that they continue to go hand-in-hand with the multilateral system.
view til det store danske dagblad, Politiken, den 2. oktober 1994, at hendes hverv som kommissær var foreneligt med fortsat deltagelse i den politiske debat, og det er for mig det principielle spørgsmål.
Brittan, Sir Leon. — If the facts as suggested were to be established, the Commission could raise the matter either in the specific dialogue on human rights or in the more global political dialogue which would also cover the issue of human rights.
Kan man på én gang fungere med fuld personlig ytringsfrihed og deltage i den magtudøvelse, som foregår i en principielt anonym og kollegial Kommission?
So those are the arenas in which the issue could be raised.
Hvor går grænserne for den enkelte kommissærs politiske selvstændige ytringsfrihed?
I do not know why the honourable lady thinks it is wrong for us to be looking into the facts, which is what we are doing.
Kan han eller hun deltage frit i den politiske debat i sit hjemland?
I think it is unwise to take action on the basis of a television documentary, however reputable, without looking into the facts ourselves.
Sir Leon Brittan. — (EN) Hvis der var noget problem med, at en kommissær deltager i den offentlige debat i sit hjemland, ville jeg få problemer, fordi jeg i går sagde til det britiske industriråd, at det ville være meget ødelæggende for Storbritannien at vælge ikke at deltage i Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union. Jeg mener, at det ville være en skam.
Finally, at the quadrilateral meeting in Ripley on 20-21 October 1995, it was accepted that greater transparency of regional trade initiatives is desirable and that it would be helpful to seek agreement in the WTO to create a single committee that could both enable the WTO to devote more attention to the ongoing and forthcoming reviews of free trade zones and customs unions and to accession to such zones and von Habsburg (PPE). — (DE) Mr President, I would simply like to ask, in this connection, whether you have noticed that China is currently being attacked by all kinds of propaganda and from all sides?
Spørgsmålet om adfærden i kollegiet og over for ens kolleger er et helt andet spørgsmål.
We should therefore first establish whether any of the accusations which have been made are true, since nothing can distort the facts better than a film.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 52 af Karin Riis-Jørgensen (H-0787/95):
(Heckling from Mr Schulz: 'Ridiculous, ridiculous!')
Riis-Jørgensen (ELDR). — Tak for Deres uddybende svar.
Riis-Jørgensen (ELDR). — (DA) Thank you for that detailed answer.
Det lyder meget oprigtigt det, De siger, og jeg stoler også på. at det er rigtigt, hvad De siger.
What you say sounds very frank, and I am sure it is correct.
Jeg håber bare. at vi her i Parlamentet kan blive løbende informeret om det arbejde, der skal ske i det særlige udvalg i WTO. for jeg finder, at det er meget vigtigt, at vi har opmærksomheden henledt på, at der ikke opstår nye handelshindringer.
I only hope that we in Parliament can be kept informed of the work that is to be done by the special WTO committee, because I feel it is very important for us to focus on the fact that no new barriers to trade should be created.
Jeg håber, at jeg kan få accept af, at De vil komme her og orientere os løbende om det arbejde, der sker i WTO.
I hope you can confirm that you will come to the House and keep us up to date on the work of the WTO.
Inden for de seneste år er der blevet oprettet et stigende antal regionale frihandelsområder.
If we operated on the basis that we leap into action every time that there is a film, we would make some big mistakes.
I den sammenhæng har WTO taget initiativ til at undersøge regionale frihandel sområders indflydelse på verdenshandlen (»Quadrilateral group« mødet i Ripley den 21.-22. oktober 1995).
The fact of the matter is that we have a certain influence in China — a limited influence.
Kan Kommissionen be- eller afkræfte, hvorvidt virksomheder fra et regionalt frihandelsområde har konkurrence mæssige fordele fremfor virksomheder uden for dette regionale frihandelsområde.
That influence can be best exercised if we use it carefully, with discretion and restraint, in the right way. at the right time and on the right issue.
Sir Leon Brittan. — (EN) Det er mig altid en meget stor glæde at holde Parlamentet orienteret om alle vigtige udviklingstendenser på handelsområdet, og dette vil absolut være en af dem.
Brittan, Sir Leon. — I am always very happy to keep Parliament informed about all important developments in the trade field and that would certainly be one of them.
Dette skyldes ikke kun, at Parlamentet har ret til at få kendskab hertil, men også at jeg har fundet ud af under forhandlingerne, at Parlamentets aktive inddragelse og støtte på det rette tidspunkt har været til fordel for Europa og ikke omvendt.
The reason for that is not only because Parliament has the right to know, but because I have found, in the conduct of negotiations, that the active involvement and support of Parliament at the appropriate stage has been a benefit for Europe and not the reverse.
For så vidt angår dette udvalg, er det ikke blevet oprettet, selv om handelspartnerne fra Den Europæiske Union. Canada, Japan og De Forenede Stater har besluttet at gå ind for et sådant udvalg.
As far as this committee is concerned, it has not been set up, although the trading partners of the European Union, Canada, Japan and the United States have decided to favour such a committee.
Der er således ikke meget at fortælle på nuværende tidspunkt, men ved siden af alle andre betydelige udvikling stendenser på handelsområdet er det mig en stor glæde at holde Parlamentet informeret om dette.
So there is not much to report on at this stage but alongside all other major developments in the trade area I am very happy to keep Parliament informed.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 50 af Manuela Frutos Gama (H-0767/95):
President. — Question No 50 by Manuela Frutos Gama (H-0767/95)
Om: Børnehjem i Kina
Subject: Orphanages in China
Visse audiovisuelle kommunikationsmidler i Den Europæiske Union har for nyligt vist en hårrejsende dokumentarudsendelse om »børnehjem« i Republikken Kina. hvor man tilsyneladende afleverer små piger, som deres familier ikke vil vide af på grund af deres køn.
A chilling television documentary was recently broadcast in some EU Member States on 'orphanages' in China which take in infant girls rejected by their families on account of being female.
Ifølge reportagens ophavsmænd overlades de små piger til sig selv på disse hjem, indtil de dør.
The reporters claim that the little girls are neglected in these establishments and left to die.
Men dem, der deltager, har forpligtelse til at afskaffe afgifter og andre restriktive bestemmelser for handelen i henseende til stort set hele samhandelen mellem medlemmer ne.
And the answer which we would like to receive from the Commissioner is that the Commission's representatives in the People's Republic of China are investigating this matter and will be raising with the Chinese authorities, in a constructive manner, the question of how to resolve the specific problem of the babies abandoned in these orphanages. That is the kind of answer which we would like to hear, Commissioner.
Artikel 24, stk. 4, præciserer imidlertid, at formålet med en toldunion eller et frihandelsområde skal være at gøre samhandelen lettere mellem medlemmerne og ikke skabe handelshindringer for andre parter.
Does the Commission have corroboration of the allegations made in the documentary? If so, does it believe that the European Union can keep silent in the face of such a major violation of the basic human rights of a human being and a child?
Dette element specificeres yderligere i artikel 24, stk. 5.
Does it intend to take any steps in respect of its relations with the People's Republic of China?
Har Kommissionen fået denne dokumentarudsendelse bekræftet?
The Commission is not yet in a position to confirm what has been shown on television.
Mener Kommissionen i givet fald, at Den Europæiske Union kan undlade at reagere på dette ekstreme overgreb mod børns grundlæggende menneskerettigheder?
Brittan, Sir Leon, Vice-President of the Commission. — I have heard about the existence of the documentary mentioned by the honourable Member showing the conditions in orphanages where mainly female children are abandoned and badly treated.
Påtænker Kommissionen at træffe nogen foran staltninger med hensyn til forbindelserne med Republikken Kina?
If the facts are confirmed this issue will be raised without delay in the dialogue between the European Union and the Republic of China.
Rapporten fra WTO's sekretariat om regionalisme og verdens handelssystemet, som spørgsmålet henviser til, har konkluderet, at i et meget større omfang, end det ofte erkendes, er regionale og multilaterale integrationsinitiativer snarere supplementer end alternativer til en åben handel.
Following Commissioner Brittan's call to the World Trade Organization members to make labour standards a top priority for future international trade negotiations, does he now acknowledge the need for a labour clause in trading agreements between the EU and third countries?
I EF konkludere de Rådet den 22. juni 1995, at inden der tages nogen skridt til at
Furthermore, would he agree that in order to avoid charges of hypocrisy the EU, including the UK, must be seen to support good labour practices such as those promoted by the Social Protocol?
Sir Leon Brittan, næstformand i Kommissionen. — (EN) Jeg har hørt om eksistensen af den dokumentarudsendelse, det ærede medlem nævner, og som viste forholdene på børnehjem, hvor navnlig små piger overlades til sig selv og behandles dårligt.
Brittan, Sir Leon, Vice-President of the Commission. — In bilateral trading arrangements between the EU and third
Vi er for øjeblikket ved at se nærmere på oplysningerne
Frutos Gama (PSE). — (ES) I am not very satisfied with your answer, Commissioner.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 51 af Richard Howitt (H0786/95): i og nøjagtigheden af denne dokumentarudsendelse.
countries there is always a clause dealing with the respect for human rights and the current GSP scheme of the EU introduces the possibility of a social clause providing incentives.
Hvis oplysningerne bekræftes, vil dette spørgsmål ufortøvet blive taget op i dialogen mellem Den Europæiske Union og Republikken Kina.v'
The question of trade and internationally recognized labour standards is a possible issue for the agenda of the 1996 WTO ministerial conference in Singapore.
Om: Bestemmelser om arbejdskraft i aftaler mellem EU og tredjelande
Does he not agree that that is hypocrisy and will he extend that criticism to Member States who do choose to flout labour standards within the EU?
Kommissær Brittan har opfordret Verdenshandelsorganisationens medlemmer til at gøre arbejdskraftens standard til en af de vigtigste prioriteter i forbindelse med fremtidige internationale handelsforhandlinger.
My preference at this stage would be for the European Union to continue to work for discussion in the multilateral context instead of moving forward with bilateral actions which might jeopardize international dialogue on this controversial issue.
Anerkender han da nu behovet for, at der indsættes en bestemmelse om arbejdskraft i handelsaftaler mellem EU og tredjelande?
As a general rule, multilateral approaches based on the definition of generally accepted objective criteria are preferable to bilateral initiatives since they avoid the risk of protectionist abuses.
Jeg ønskede helt konkret at spørge Dem, om Kommissionen er ved at undersøge rigtigheden af disse forhold.
Brittan, Sir Leon. — I do not think there is a single word that the honourable gentleman said that I do agree with.
Og hvilken form for politisk pression vil efter Deres mening være den mest velegnede til at forhindre, at sådanne forhold finder sted i fremtiden?
President. - Question No 53 by Hugh Kerr (H-0806/95) Subject: EU framework agreement with Australia
Jeg ved ikke. hvorfor det ærede medlem mener, det er forkert, at vi se nærmere på oplysningerne, hvilket er det. vi gør.
Not all Member States are signatories of those ILO conventions but neither, in many cases, are other major trading partners such as the US.
Jeg finder det uklogt at gribe ind på grundlag af en tv-dokumentarudsendelse. uanset dens hæderlighed, uden selv at undersøge oplysningerne nærmere.
That is one aspect of the issue that will need to be tackled early on in any multilateral process.
Sir Leon Brittan, næstformand i Kommissionen. — (EN) I bilaterale handelsaftaler mellem EU og tredjelande er der altid en bestemmelse vedrørende overholdelse af menneskerettighederne, og EU's nuværende GSP-ordning indeholder muligheden for en social bestemmelse, som tilvejebringer incitamenter.
Brittan, Sir Leon, Vice-President of the Commission. — The idea of giving formal expression to the existing EU-Australia relationship, contained in a letter dated 21 April 1995 from Prime Minister Keating to President Santer, has led to exploratory discussions being held with Australia regarding the content and format of a framework instrument.
Spørgsmålet om handel og internationalt anerkendte standarder for arbejdskraften er et muligt emne på dagsordenen for WTO's ministerkonference i Singapore i 1996.
These discussions will permit the formulation of a request for a negotiating mandate from the Council, leading, it is hoped, to the conclusion of this framework instrument in the appropriate format during the course of 1996.
von Habsburg (PPE). — (DE) Hr. formand, jeg vil i denne sammenhæng blot stille det spørgsmål, om De ikke har lagt mærke til. at Kina for øjeblikket angribes på alle propagandistiske niveauer og fra alle sider. Det Kina er af interesse for Europa.
Schulz (PSE). - (DE) Mr President, I wish to ask you to consider whether the term used by Mr von Habsburg — 'Shut up', which in German is a very offensive expression intended to convey contempt for someone — is permitted.
Derfor bør vi først undersøge, om alt det, der påstås, overhovedet er rigtigt.
If not, I would ask you to examine the Rules of Procedure to see if this should be punished.
(Svar fra von Hubsburg: »Hold mund!«)
Kerr (PSE). — I wish to begin by welcoming you back to Parliament, Sir Leon.
Sir Leon Brittan. — (EN) Jeg er fuldstændig enig med det ærede medlem.
President. — Let me explain the situation.
Hvis vi arbejdede på det grundlag, at vi farer til at gribe ind, hver gang der er en film, ville vi begå nogle store fejltagelser.
If Members do not come for a question which is on the agenda and would have been called, they do not receive an answer.
Kendsgerningen er, at vi har en vis indflydelse i Kina — en begrænset indflydelse.
If, however, their question is not reached, they do receive an answer.
Med hensyn til den europæiske socialpolitik mener Kommissionen, at de fælles standarder for arbejdskraften, der er udarbejdet på grundlag af EF-traktaten og aftalen om socialpolitikken, er vigtige, men de er ikke referencerammen for internationale standarder for arbejdskraften, som tilvejebringes gennem de aftalte ILO-standarder.
Your answer was a little bland. Perhaps you could expand on it a little, because this is certainly a measure which we discussed when I, as chairman of Parliament's Delegation for relations with Australia and New Zealand, was in Australia in May, and we hoped that progress would be rather quicker.
USA heller ikke.
Is there a hold-up in the Council?
Det er ét aspekt af spørgsmålet, som vil skulle klares tidligt i enhver multilateral proces.
Is there a problem in terms of content? Is there a problem with the Commission?
Schulz (PSE). — (DE) Hr. formand, jeg anmoder Dem om at undersøge, om hr. von Habsburgs ytring »hold mund«, som er en meget nedsættende bemærkning, der skal udtrykke foragt over for den, den stiles til, kan tillades. Hvis ikke, anmoder jeg Dem om ved hjælp af forretningsordenen at undersøge, om det bliver påtalt!
When can we expect to see some reasonable progress on this, because it was certainly the view of Parliament in Australia when I met with them — and indeed when they came to Strasbourg last month — that this would be an important sign of the strengthening of relationships between Europe and Australia at a time when perhaps they have been put under stress by French nuclear testing?
García Arias (PSE). — (ES) Hr. kommissær, det drejer sig ikke om at ødelægge handelsforbindelserne med Den Kinesiske Folkerepublik eller med noget andet land i verden, og jeg tror ikke. hr. von Habsburg har forstået spørgsmålet.
Elliott (PSE). — Mr President, obviously the mies are changing so fast that it is difficult to keep pace with them.
Der har været vist en dokumentarfilm, hvor man ser små kinesiske pigebørn — og det havde været det samme, hvis det havde været drengebørn — der er overladt til at dø.
Would it be possible for written answers to be provided, even when the questions are taken?
Og spørgsmålet er: Har Kommissionen undersøgt rigtigheden af dette?
Very often people like to have something in writing.
Det kan den gøre gennem fjernsynskanalerne.
If the Commissioner speaks in a language other than their own. it will be many months before they can get anything in their own language, which they could use for any purpose they may wish.
Det svar, vi gerne vil have fra kommissæren, er. at Kommissionens myndigheder i Den Kinesiske Folkerepublik er ved at undersøge sagen og på konstruktiv måde over for Den Kinesiske Folkerepublik vil rejse spørgsmålet om. hvordan man kan løse det konkrete problem med disse små pigebørn, som er blevet forladt på børnehjem.
If a written reply has been prepared — which obviously it has in many cases — I see no reason why that could not be provided even when the question is actually taken.
Det er det svar. vi gerne vil have fra kommissæren.
I am only talking about the reply of the Commission and not supplementaries, of course.
Elliott (PSE). — (EN) Hr. formand, vedrørende forretningsordenens bestemmelser for spørgetiden.
President. — No. Mr Elliott, that will not take place.
Hvis medlemmer stiller et spørgsmål og ikke er til stede, modtager de et skriftligt svar, så vidt jeg forstår.
The reason is that if Members cannot be bothered to turn up for their questions they do not deserve to have a reply.
Sir Leon Brittan. — (EN) Svaret på spørgsmålet er, at Kommissionen er ved at se nærmere på sagen.
Brittan, Sir Leon. — Thank you first of all for your good wishes. I am delighted to be here.
Formanden. — Lad mig gøre rede for situationen.
There is no hold-up or delay.
Hvis nogle medlemmer ikke kommer i forbindelse med et spørgsmål, der er opført på dagsordenen og ville være blevet behandlet, modtager de ikke noget svar.
I discussed the matter in some detail with Gareth Evans, the Australian Foreign Minister, only a matter of weeks ago.
Er det muligt at få skriftlige svar, selv når spørgsmålene behandles?
Brittan, Sir Leon to put to the Commission and then to the Council of Ministers.
