Så jeg opfordrer ham til at skride for sigtigt frem. Ja, vi må sikre, at der gøres noget ved disse ting, men lad os ikke tillade, at de bliver brugt af politiske partier, der er blottet for demokratisk sindelag, som en undskyldning for at skyde på indvandrerbefolkningen.
Henderson. - There were a number of issues raised by the honourable Member, most of which were returning to the debates, which took place in the early 1990s and have been covered in the past by the Presidency, and positions adopted.
Jeg kan blot sige til ham, at jeg ved, at der er én ting, vi ikke vil diskutere næste gang, vi spiser middag sammen, hvis det kan forårsage en så voldsom splid blandt gode kolleger.
In particular we will support their efforts to prepare plans and policies for sound management of their natural resources and national strategies for sustainable development.
For det første vil forbrugergarantidirektivet give grund læggende rettigheder til forbrugere, der står over for utilfredsstillende varer.
As far as I am aware, there was no link in the decision be tween the change in the regulations on dutyfree and any consideration of taxation.
Folk har behov for at kunne for stå deres rettigheder, hvis de skal gøre brug af dem.
So I do not think that argument can be put.
For brugerne bør således kunne drage fuld nytte af det indre marked på samme måde, som virksomhederne kan det.
That is not to say that the issue of different levels of tax ation should not be examined as an issue worthy of some consideration - but not linked to this particular issue.
I nogle lande vil forbrugerrettighederne blive forbedret ved hjælp af direktivet.
Different Member States within the European Union will have different views on those taxation questions.
I de resterende lande vil de eksisterende høje beskyttelsesniveauer fortsat eksistere.
It would be open to any government within the European Union to raise the issue in Ecofin or at the General Affairs Council if they were so minded.
Vi af venter Europa-Parlamentets førstebehandling af direktivet og sigter mod en fælles holdning ved rådsmødet om forbrugerspørgsmål i april.
It would be up to the other Members of whichever Council it was to make whatever response was appropriate at that time and in the circumstances of how the issue was being raised. But un
Henderson bejdspladser i en samlet størrelsesorden på 50 000 i hele EU.
Henderson the Council and the European Parliament on the impact of the third package of air transport liberalization measures (COM(96)0514 - C4-0602/96).
Kan Rådet f.eks. gøre en indsats for, at salg af afgiftsfrie varer på færger får dispensation, eller hvad der er endnu bedre, kan Rådet gøre en indsats for, at hele beslutningen ta ges op til fornyet overvejelse?
This provides for the mainstreaming of environmental con cerns in project and programme preparation, as well as at the strategy and policy levels.
Der er ikke nogen grund til at have forbrugerbeskyttelsesregler, hvis de ikke gennemføres og håndhæves ordentligt.
Seal (PSE), rapporteur. - Mr President, as rapporteur for this report, I have to say that it is a disappointing report; not in the way it is written - because that is very good -but because as rapporteur I cannot examine the success or failure of air transport liberalization fully without examining the social consequences.
Vi ønsker rådsmødet om forbrugerspørgsmål i april til at se nærmere på dette på grundlag af en rapport fra Kommissionen.
The Commission promised to publish results of a study they commissioned last October. I understand it has just been issued this week.
For at nævne et eksempel skulle mekanismer, hvormed medlemsstaterne kan udveksle oplysninger om bedste praksis, gøre det nemmere at tage skridt til bekæmpelse af handelsfiduser og identificere usikre produkter.
So I ask the House to review the results of this report, to review the apparent results of liberalization, bearing in mind that the social effects of that liberalization have still to be taken into account.
Spørgsmål nr. 17 af Jan Andersson (H-0062/98): Om: Afgiftsfrit salg
The rest of liberalization in the air transport industry is a bit like the curate's egg: it is good in parts.
Der er dog ikke blevet gennemført no gen konsekvensanalyse.
We have some increased competition; we have some new air lines coming forward; but we have a decline in safety and we have some frightening alliances on the horizon.
Vores tredje mål er at forbedre det europæiske hjem- og fritidsulykkeovervågningssystem.
Sandbæk (I-EDN). - (DA) In that case, I would like to repeat the last part of my question: 'What means would it propose to achieve this improved environmental quality, in light of the existing fundamental lack of capacity within the Commission?'
Det anvendes til at ind samle data, som man kan lægge til grund for en sundhedsog sikkerhedspolitik.
After all, it is not we who can not agree whether the programmes should be designed like this so that the environment forms an integral part of them - along with many other fine ideas.
Ved at gøre dette på EU-plan får man et større befolkningsunderlag og mere brugbare data.
But I do not think that I was given any actual indication at all of how to remedy the situation, given the Commission's lack of capacity at present.
Vi er forpligtede til at sikre systemets fortsættelse og for bedre det på basis af den for nærværende bedste praksis. Jeg håber på, at vi kan regne med Europa-Parlamentets støtte til at nå disse mål.
In a nutshell, how can we ensure that priority will be given to integrating the environment in implementing the EU's overseas aid programmes and, in view of this, will there be incentives which will be sufficiently effective to ensure that integration also takes place in practice?
Agter Rådet at sørge for, at den lovede konsekvens analyse bliver gennemført, inden afgørelsen om det afgiftsfrie salgs ophør træder i kraft?
Henderson. - I thank the honourable Member for her question, but I can only refer her to my previous answer which is that there are a number of different ways in which improvement can be brought about.
Om: Tab af arbejdspladser på grund af stigende indirekte skatter
These, however, are mostly based around the United Kingdom.
Kan De konkretisere hvilke specifikke foranstaltninger det britiske formandskab på tænker at træffe til fordel for forbrugerne?
That is why we need to examine the social effects of liberalization. eralization.
Repræsentanter for arbejdstagerne inden for den af gifts- og skattefrie handel påstår, at et betragteligt an tal arbejdspladser, ca. 140 000, er i fare, hvis den i øje blikket planlagte afskaffelse af denne handel bliver en realitet, og de gjorde medlemmerne af Europa-Parlamentet opmærksomme på deres foruroligelse under en demonstration i Bruxelles i december 1997.
All of us have an opportunity, when we begin to renegotiate the Lomé mandate, to include a consideration of the important matters which she raises.
Henderson. - (EN) Jeg er taknemmelig for spørgsmålet fra den ærede herre, men jeg må sige, at jeg ikke kan er klære mig skyldig i hans beskyldning. Der er en meget positiv dagsorden.
President. - Since the time allocated to questions to the Council has now expired, Questions Nos 20 to 59 will be dealt with in writing. (')
Der er i sandhed en meget omfattende dagsorden for rådsmødet om forbrugerspørgsmål i april.
(The sitting was suspended at 7.00 p.m. and resumed at 9.00p.m.)
Den overordnede idé bag alle forslagene er, at der bør være minimumsstandarder.
There is still an unbelievable complexity of fares.
Det forhindrer ikke medlems staterne i at beslutte, at de ønsker at have bedre standarder.
We have got PEX, superPEX, Euro-fares, economy, full economy, business class, and so it goes on.
Der bør være skønsomhed omkring nogle af disse spørgsmål.
Buy ing an airline ticket should be simple; it should be straightforward.
Det er et meget vigtigt princip, og jeg mener, at det er et princip, der vil blive støttet bredt af forbrugere og borgere over hele Den Europæiske Union.
Even though we have got air traffic increasing globally by 7.9 % a year, most people flying are having more difficulty getting the right fares.
Formanden. - Da følgende spørgsmål vedrører samme emne, vil vi under ét behandle spørgsmål nr. 16,17 og 18.
IN THE CHAIR: MR AVGERINOS Vice-President
Henderson, formand for Rådet. - (EN) Som det ærede medlem vil vide, besluttede Rådet, da det vedtog direktiver, der skulle ophæve de fiskale grænser fra 1. januar 1993, at sætte en stopper for det afgifts- og toldfri salg for passagerer, der rejser inden for Det Europæiske Fælles skab, idet en bevarelse af et sådant salg ville være uforeneligt med et indre marked uden grænser.
President. - The next item is the report (A4-0015/98) by Mr Seal, on behalf of the Committee on Transport and Tourism, on the communication from the Commission to
Om: Ophør med salg af afgiftsfrie varer og beskæftigelsen gelsen
Safety must be assured. If we look at some of the examples: British Airways removed safety doors from some of its planes to put in more seats.
Salg af afgiftsfrie varer i forbindelse med rejser mellem EU's medlemsstater skal ophøre i 1999. En analyse har vist, at dette resulterer i et stort bortfald af ar
This was not a good move in terms of safety and it was a disastrous move for them as far as PR is concerned.
Nogle skøn overdriver formentlig virkningen.
This is the unacceptable face of liberalization.
Hvad arten end må blive af den
') For questions not taken see Annex 'Question Time'.
Henderson efterfølgende ordning, vil operatørerne stadig være i stand til at sælge varer, hvor told og afgifter er betalt.
Seal not believe that the safety of passengers has been put at risk in any way by the liberalization of the air transport market.
Der findes uden tvivl bøger og atter bøger inden for finans- og er hvervsretten, der behandler disse definitioner.
All the accidents which have occurred have been outside the area of the European Community and not within it.
Wibe (PSE). - (SV) Jeg takker hr. Henderson for svaret.
Liberalization does have its merits but it is not defect-free.
Det er jo helt rigtigt, at afskaffelsen af taxfree-salget er et led i oprettelsen af det indre marked, men det indre marked oprettes jo for at opnå økonomiske fordele.
We need controlled liberalization. By that, I mean we need to put in place preventive measures to avoid the cut­throat competition that would lead to monopolies the way it did in the United States and in Australia.
Hvad vi end siger, er det alligevel sådan, at dette med taxfree-sal-gets være eller ikke være har utrolig lidt med økonomiske fordele at gøre.
Their services, consequently, deteriorated. We need a balanced liberali­zation that will benefit passengers, shareholders and workers in the industry.
Hvis vi afskaffer taxfree-salget, får vi for det første om kostninger i form af 50 000 til 100 000 tabte arbejdspladser. For det andet vil en række færgelinjer blive nedlagt, bl.a. en, der går mellem Finland og Sverige og som berører min hjemkommune, og som på sin side har konsekvenser for turismen i begge lande.
We need to encourage new en­trants and to ensure they are not wiped out by the larger companies before they can get going.
På indtægtssiden har vi så nogle abstrakte økonomiske gevinster, som måske beløber sig til en hundrededel eller en tusindedel procent af bruttonationalproduktet.
This is the subject of a sepa­rate report that has come into this House, but it needs solving if liberalization is to continue.
Gallagher (UPE). - (EN) Jeg vil gerne indlede med at sige, at jeg er yderst skuffet over rådsformandens svar, når han går videre til at sige, at sagen ikke vil blive taget op igen.
Of course, the Commission also offers us a glimpse into the areas which have not yet been dealt with, into tariffs, the limitation of capacity, the cost of flight services and access to the market.
Han må også huske på, at der er blevet givet tilsagn i årenes løb om, at der ville blive gennemført en undersøgelse. Det er ret så foruroligende, at rådsformanden ikke er i stand til at give os en klar opfattelse af, hvad virkningerne måtte blive.
But Commissioner, I believe that in the case of many routes which today are not even profitable for a single airline - particularly those in peripheral regions -we cannot expect competition, because nobody as it were wants to lose money.
Det forbavser mig ikke.
That is what we must realize.
For jeg tror ikke, at nogen politiker eller rådsformand vil være i stand til at gøre dette uden en undersøgelse.
In that respect, I believe that the Commission has come to the wrong conclusions.
Vi er blevet givet det tilsagn, og vi er forpligtede over for de europæiske borgere til at give dem den undersøgelse.
I believe that many internal routes are simply not profitable because of insufficient passenger numbers and will not attract competition.
Jeg ville gerne spørge hr. Henderson om følgende: Er det virkelig det værd, for denne lille gevinsts skyld, dels at sørge for at så mange mennesker bliver arbejdsløse, dels genere en stor del af Unionens befolkning?
We need to ensure that these alliances do not destroy our European airlines. Global arrange­ments must allow the European airlines to compete and passengers to enjoy the benefits of this competition, but not at the expense of their workforces.
Henderson. - (EN) Jeg takker hr. Wibe for hans spørgsmål, men der er egentligt ikke noget nyt i det, han har at anføre.
What I also agree with in Barry Seal's report is that the tariff structure is something over which the normal con­sumer can have no overview.
Disse spørgsmål blev drøftet tilbundsgående i be gyndelsen af 90'erne, da debatten fandt sted.
The various cheap and cheaper tariffs and special offers which the airlines offer are simply too difficult to understand.
Jeg kan egentlig ikke tilføje mere til debatten, end jeg erindrer at have hørt dengang, og som den ærede herre sikkert også hørte dengang.
For clever business people and people who have a good travel agent, maybe they can cope, but not normal citizens. That, I believe, must change.
Lad rådsformanden fortælle os, hvilke ordninger der er nødvendige, og hvilke ordninger, der vil blive indført med henblik på disse forandringer.
But we cannot - and I, as rapporteur, cannot - assess the impact of the third liberalization pack­age until we know the social consequences of this stage of liberalization.
Henderson. - (EN) Jeg kan godt forstå medlemmernes stærke følelser i relation til dette spørgsmål.
Jarzembowski (PPE), draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Indus­trial Policy. - (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, as draftsman of opinion of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, I agree with the basic statements in Mr Seal's report and I thank him sincerely for his report.
Men på det tekniske plan, hvad angår den måde, hvorpå forordningen vil blive indført, og som medlemsstaterne allerede har modtaget meddelelse om, vil det være muligt at få oplysninger om de nærmere enkeltheder fra dem snarere end fra mig.
In addition, even if, as he has rightly com­mented, the Commission knowingly, unknowingly, con­sciously, or unconsciously has concealed its report on the social consequences, his report is nevertheless a valuable one and I hold Mr Seal in very high esteem.
Skal det gøres i det land, der har højest skat eller i det land, der har lavest skat? Eller kan man til og med købe varer i et tredje land i EU og betale skat i det land, der har den laveste skat?
I do not completely share the view of my colleague, Barry Seal.
Hvis det er tilfældet, er der så ikke en risiko for skat temæssig dumping, og er det i så fald en ønskelig udvikling? ling?
I do share his view that we must be watchful that American partners do not drive our Euro­pean lines to the wall in these alliances, but we also can­not let the Directorate-General IV see the Single Market as a total area in which it will judge the competition situ­ation.
Formandskabet har ingen intentioner om at tage dette spørgsmål op igen.
We must look globally at the question of market re­striction, competition and cartel rights, because air traffic also takes place globally in alliances.
Der er i de seneste måneder blevet valgt en række nye regeringer over hele Den Europæiske Union.
You all know that the airlines make most profit on the North Atlantic route and not on internal European routes.
Det vil være muligt for enhver af disse nye rege ringer at rejse dette spørgsmål i Ministerrådet.
In this respect, we must ask the Commission - and Karel Van Miert will probably take this into account - to regard the alliances not only as a danger but also as an opportunity for the Eu­ropean airlines to join in global competition.
Det vil i så fald være op til Rådet at afgøre, hvilket svar der skal gives herpå.
I hope that Neil Kinnock will also say something on his view of the alliances.
Jeg lyttede til John Prescott i går. Han sagde, at han i egenskab af forhenværende sømand var urolig for konsekvenserne, når taxfree-salget skal afskaffes.
It is true that the air transport liberalization finalized in the past year has completely opened the Single Market to this field and all of us, the actual consumers, are gradually no­ticing the advantages.
I den anledning vil jeg gerne stille følgende spørgsmål: Er det ikke rimeligt, at man undersøger konsekvenserne på beskæftigelsesområdet og på skatteområdet, så man faktisk ved, hvad der sker, før beslutningen træder i kraft?
National air transport markets were opened up, competition is allowed, even if it is sometimes a little bit strange that an airline from country A has flown cabotage for years in country Β without covering its own costs, without making a profit and survives.
Sjöstedt (GUE/NGL). - (SV) For færgetrafikken mellem Sverige og Finland i Østersøen er taxfree-indtægterne af meget stor betydning. Nord for Stockholmsområdet -Stockholm ligger i det sydlige Sverige, kan man sige - er der kun en regulær færgeforbindelse.
Also, the number of routes serviced has risen, the number of operating airlines has risen, yet nevertheless the planes have to a large extent been filled.
Den går mellem den smukke by Umeå i Sverige og Vasa i Finland.
In that respect, I believe that liberalization has succeeded.
Det er me get usikkert, om denne færgetrafik vil overleve en fjernelse af taxfree-salget.
Finally, I would like to ask the Commission: when will we get the proposals for discussion and decision which are still outstanding?
Det ville da indebære, at den tunge lastbilstrafik, som går denne vej må køre hundredvis af ki-
I am not yet sure when the long-since announced package on the slots will be placed before us, Commis­sioner.
Henderson. - (EN) Hr. Andersson beder mig, ligesom hr. Wibe, om at revurdere de spørgsmål, der alle blev vendt grundigt, da de blev drøftet første gang i begyndelsen af 90'erne.
We should, Mr President, also discuss the question of flight management.
Rådet har ikke for nærværende til hensigt at tage disse spørgsmål op igen.
There are in fact still too many problems for the passengers and for the airlines, because air control in Europe is simply organ-
Thors (ELDR). - (SV) Vores kollega Sjöstedt tog en af de mest truede færgelinjer op og talte om den smukke by Umeå -jeg håber, du synes, at byen Vasa er lige så smuk.
Per­haps you can also say something about this, Commis­sioner, since the free market can only be effective for en­vironmental protection and our citizens if the air space is used efficiently.
Desuden ville man bryde gamle historiske bånd mellem disse områder.
Imagine if one day we could fly at a set price per kilom­eter.
Endvidere er det sådan, at man får Interreg-støtte til samarbejde mellem disse områder i Sverige og Finland.
Imagine what would happen if we could just say we wanted to travel so and so many kilometres: it would cost χ times the number of kilometres.
Mit spørgsmål er: Har Rådet noget at indvende mod, at den svenske og den finske stat går ind og giver direkte statsstøtte for at bevare denne trafik, hvis den ikke kan overleve, når taxfree-salget afskaffes?
More and more frequently, we are seeing new companies being set up and struggling for a few years and then going under.
Jeg vil gerne spørge Rådet, om det stemmer, at der i Kom missionen findes en liste over de særlig ramte færgelinjer.
There are not many markets where acquiring mar­ket share is such a capital-intensive business as it is in avi­ation.
Er det blevet diskuteret, om Rådet vil kunne tage disse spørgsmål op?
But, in many cases - even if the new companies are not around for long - this is enough to worry the estab­lished ones.
Desuden vil jeg spørge rådsformanden, hvordan formandskabet stiller sig til at medvirke til en forlængelse, hvis det er sådan, at andre lande tager dette spørgsmål op i ØKOFIN-rådet?
Even if only a few of them survive, they are proof that the market is not completely closed.
F.eks. har den irske rege ring udtrykt ønske om at tage et sådant initiativ.
But there is still a need for regulation.
Jeg håber, at De bemærker, at situationen jo har ændret sig i forhold til situationen i 1991, særlig når det gælder arbejdsløsheden, hvilket Wibe også tog op.
Price agreements and alli­ances are very serious phenomena which need monitor­ing.
Henderson. - (EN) Jeg kan sige til det ærede medlem, at det vil være op til operatørerne at afgøre, om de mener, at det vil være nødvendigt med statsstøtte.
Sindal (PSE). - (DA) Mr President, Commissioner, la­dies and gentlemen, on behalf of the group I would like to thank the rapporteur, Barry Seal, for a good piece of work and a good report, even if it has been a long time coming.
Det vil derefter være op til de finske og svenske regeringer at afgøre, om de skal have statsstøtte, og endelig vil det være op til Kommissionen af afgøre, om denne statsstøtte er i over ensstemmelse med Den Europæiske Unions regler.
The report looks at all the main problems involved in de­regulation. For some years, deregulation has been the aim at global, national and European level.
Henderson. - (EN) Jeg kan sige til fru Thors, at jeg ikke kender til nogen liste, men vi har et gennemskueligt for mandskab, og hvis der er en liste, vil jeg være glad for at se den.
We have noticed this, it is happening in a whole host of sectors. But every­where we find that the problems are the same.
Vi sætter altid pris på at drøfte de spørgsmå, som ansvarlige medlemmer måtte ønske at rejse.
How can deregulation and improving services best be carried out without affecting jobs and employee security and without reducing the availability of public services, including transport?
Corbett (PSE). - (EN) Med henblik på det, formanden sagde tidligere, må jeg tilkendegive en interesse, idet jeg spiste middag med rådsformanden i går aftes.
And so, Commissioner, we come to allocating slots. I will be the rapporteur for the report on this: so it is important to us how the market develops in this area in future.
Jeg håber, at det betyder, at jeg får et endnu mere detaljeret svar.
But is it not precisely in the case of the major airports that the problem arises?
Carlsson (PPE). - (SV) Dette var rigtig sjovt!
It is not least in the field of air traffic that these problems are relevant.
Hjemme i Sverige elsker socialdemokraterne at forhøje skatten på både arbejde og alkohol.
This is highlighted in points 1 and 6 of the report.
Derfor er jeg lidt forbavset over den argumentation, som vi får at høre her.
It is just as important to realize the social and em­ployment effects of deregulation in a new competitive sit­uation.
Jeg vil bare sige: Stå fast fra Rådets side.
I understand that the investigations mentioned in the report are now under way.
Visse sektorer skal ikke have skattemæssige fordele, vi skal have konkurrence på lige vilkår.
We must assess these re­sults in terms of their implications for society, and I hope the discussion will be sensible rather than sharp.
Det kan ikke være sådan, at Europa forsøger at skabe nye jobs ved at folk skal drikke sig fulde på en masse færger.
It is es­sential that this new situation be dealt with in a sensible fashion.
