Vil ministeren overveje, om det ikke kunne være en fremgangsmåde, at begge parter fik en periode, hvor de kunne besinde sig, evt. i forbindelse med en form for uafhængig voldgift?
Mrs Dury tells us. And so, appealing to the European spirit of the French presidency (she knows how lo get around us), she is asking France to take the initiative in putting an end to this derogation.
Finder Rådet det ikke stærkt foruroligende, at Den Europæiske Union sakker agterud på området ethanolbrændsel?
This is one of the many problems encountered by frontier workers at the Franco­Belgian border, but which also arise, I must admit, at the Franco­German and Franco­Spanish bord­ers.
At optrappe konflikten vil ikke føre til noget positivt, hverken på den ene eller på den anden side af Atlanterhavet.
1 would particularly like to say to Parliament that the presiden­cy intends to press ahead with the discussions on this matter, in order to arrive at a balanced solution capable of satisfying the various interests involved.
Der er brug for en periode med ro og eftertanke, og vi må erkende, at denne sag har bragt mange lidenskaber i kog, både i Canada og i Spanien.
This month, it will call logether a group of experts on financial questions, with a view to conducting a study at the Ecofin Council of 22 May and. naturally, we will be sure to inform Parliament of the results obtained.
Dels forårsager luftforureningens indvirkning på helbredet et uhørt antal hospitalsindlæggelser på grund af luftvejssygdomme, og dels er det i De Forenede Stater i forbin delse med gennemførelsen af »Clean Air Aet« bevist, at der gennem tilsætning af 2% ilt (5-6% ethanol) opnås en reduktion på mellem 10 og 15% af COi-emissionerne og på mellem 5 og 10% af emissioner fra uforbrændte carbonhydrider.
How shall 1 explain il? The objective of the Regulations cited is not the harmonization of social security regulations, but the coordination of social security systems applicable to employed and self­employed persons and members of their families moving within the Community.
Er det under disse omstændigheder ikke på tide, at Den Europæiske Union endelig træffer foran staltninger til afskaffelse af afgifter på ethanol?
These texts lay down the following principle: it is where one works that one is insured. Therefore, one insures where one works.
Lamassoure. — (FR) Naturligvis er hr. Balfes bemærkning en fornuftig bemærkning.
Galland (ELDR). ­ (FR) Mr President, thank you for your reply which certainly does have the merit of being clear.
Den Europæiske Union var således berettiget til at acceptere, at dens fiskefartøjer fortsatte fiskeriet på de betingelser, der tidligere var fastsat.
Can you make an additional commitment? Can you again put the reduced rales of excise duties on biofuels to a vote by lhe Council?
Det er Canada, der har sat sig uden for den internationale ret, og så snart Canada fåren sammenhængende holdning, der respekterer den internationale ret, kan vi igen begynde dialogen på et fornuftigt grundlag. Vi ønsker at kunne gøre det, som De har nævnt.
Can you guarantee to Parliament the transparency of this vote and of the reasons why this or that country in the Union should oppose reduced rates of excise duty?
Vil udvidelsens positive virkninger, eftersom Sverige og Finland er meget længere fremme på dette område end Unionens øvrige lande, endelig give mulighed for at bremse den negative indflydelse fra visse olieselskaber (bl.a.
In this context, it is provided in particular, for France, that certain family benefits linked to the number of children — for example, family allowances as such — are paid to French
Izquierdo Rojo (PSE). — (ES) Hr. rådsformand, vi er taknemmelige for Rådets og Kommissionens enstemmige støtte til den spanske regering i denne konflikt.
Lamassoure. — (FR) My reply is yes. both times.
Rådsformanden har klart og tydeligt taget afstand fra Canadas åbenlyst ulovlige handlinger. Hele miseren bunder i, hr. Balfe, at Canada forsøger at udvide dets eksklusive økonomiske zone ud over de 200 sømil og
On 22 May. the Ecofin Council will again study the mechanism as a whole, including the reduced rates of excise duties, which also means, in principle, a new vote.
Jeg kan svare lige så præcist: Jo, det gør i hvert fald formandskabet.
It is the case with allowances for the physically handicapped.
325 af 10.12.1992, om de sociale sikringsordninger inde holder faktisk en undtagelsesbestemmelse for Frankrig, som ikke er forpligtet til at betale familieydelser til personer, der ikke er bosat på fransk territorium.
I should also like to take the opportunity provided by her question to stress how struck I am by the number of practical problems encountered by frontier workers, whether it be as regards social law. employment law. tax law or civil law. And I realize that, in these various fields.
Kunne det franske formandskab ikke for at leve op til den europæiske ånd, som det bekræfter i sit program, lægge pres på den franske regering for at få standset denne forskelsbehandling, som er så oplagt uretfærdig?
And yet. the bilateral agreements which our States conclude with one another lag a long way behind the concrete situations which people find themselves in in their everyday lives.
Rådet fik faktisk i 1992 forelagt et forslag til direktiv om reducerede punktafgiftssatser for motorbrændstoffer fremstillet af landbrugsprodukter.
So, in the case in the question asked by Mrs Dury, the 'non-exportable' nature, if I can put it like that, of the parental education allowance means that the person in question cannot receive it.
Europa-Parlamentet støttede princippet i et sådant direktiv og bibragte samtidig nogle tekniske ændringer.
On the other hand, she is entitled to all the types of assistance to families which there may be in Belgium, in application of Belgian law.
Derefter accepterede Kommissionen at revidere sit første forslag for at tage højde for visse krav fra Parlamentet.
I think that we should therefore try to think about how we could better solve this type of problem concretely.
Det arbejde, der er udført i Rådet med hensyn til denne tekst, har desværre ikke i øjeblikket givet mulighed for den nødvendige consensus til en endelig beslutning.
In this regard, we can wonder if the European Ombudsman (when Parliament has appointed him) will be able to help settle problems of this type, bringing them to the attention of the States concerned with the help of the Council and Parliament, in order to settle them.
Men dette flertal er endnu ikke tilstrækkeligt.
I note in any case that there are more and more problems of this kind and that we have apparently great difficulty in solving them.
Som De ved, kræves der enstemmighed i skattesager.
Be that as it may. in the case mentioned by Mrs Dury. we will do everything we can to succeed in doing so.
Lamassoure, formand for Rådet. — (FR) Fru Dury rejser et frygteligt problem.
This being so, we are aware that this situation creates a problem and can give rise to injustices.
Fru Dury har fået forelagt et tilfælde med en mor, der venter sit tredje barn.
This is why we have encouraged the Commission to make a proposal to amend and improve the Regulations in question.
Det drejer sig om en fransk kvinde, der bor i Belgien, men som arbejder i Frankrig.
We hope, on the basis of these proposals, to be able to succeed in improving the circumstances of people who are in the situation described by Mrs Dury.
I Rådets forordninger nr. 1408/74 og 574/72 om de sociale sikringsordninger, fortæller fru Dury, er der en undtagelse til fordel for Frankrig.
What will the Council do to ensure that the French authorities issue the carte de séjour to people who want to take advantage of Regulation 1071?
Jeg vil gerne sige til Parlamentet, at formandskabet har til hensigt at fortsætte diskussionerne herom for at nå frem til en afbalanceret løsning, der kan tilfredsstille de forskellige implicerede interesser.
Dury (PSE). — (FR) First of all, I should like to congratulate you, and your department, on having understood my question — which was not easy, given the many references to the numbering of Regulations. But you have grasped the problem really well.
Formandskabet vil i denne måned indkalde en gruppe eksperter i økonomiske spørgsmål med henblik på en undersøgelse på økonomi- og finansministernes møde den 22. maj, og naturligvis vil vi ikke undlade at informere Parlamentet om de opnåede resultater.
So this has to do with a French lady working in France, who succumbed to the charm of a Belgian man and is thus expecting her third child. If she were living in France, she would be entitled to what is called the parental allowance, which would enable her to stop working in order to raise her child.
Det drejer sig om et af de mange problemer, som grænsearbejderne møder ved den fransk-belgiske grænse, men som også forekommer, må jeg erkende, ved den fransk-tyske eller den fransk-spanske grænse.
Will the Council take measures to ensure that cases such as that of my constituent are expedited in future and that people will be able to take full advantage of the internal market and of the allowances to which they are entitled?
Kan De påtage Dem endnu en forpligtelse?
Personally, I don't share this concept of family policy.
Kan De igen forelægge de reducerede punktafgiftssatser for biobrændsel til afstemning i Rådet? Kan De garantere Parlamentet gennemsigtighed af denne afstemning og af årsagerne til, at et eller andet land i Unionen modsætter sig de reducerede punktafgiftssatser? Ville disse lande kunne være dem, som jeg i mit spørgsmål udpeger med hensyn til lobbyvirksomhed?
But what I would like would be for there to be no discrimination against this mother because, whether she lives in France or ten kilometres away from the French border, in Belgium, for her, the situation is the same.
Jeg svarer således to gange ja.
President. — Question No 17 by Mr Brian Crowley (H0173/95)
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 15 er trukket tilbage.
Subject: New opportunities for SMEs to improve trade links with China
Hvordan kan man forklare det? Formålet med de omtalte forordninger er ikke en harmonisering af reglerne om social sikring, men en samordning af de gældende sociale sikringsordninger for arbejdstagere, selvstændige erhvervsdrivende og deres familiemedlemmer, som flytter inden for Fællesskabet.
Does the Council have any plans to establish a programme for expanding trade links with China particularly with regard lo small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs) and very small enterprises (VSEs) aclive in the training, new technology and communications sectors?
Men i betragtning af de specielle nationale forhold blev der vedtaget et vist antal tillæg til disse tekster, til forordning nr. 1408/74, der fastsætter nationale undtagelsesmuligheder.
That said, like you, I consider that this is not a problem of harmonization, but far more one of coordination.
I den forbindelse er det især for Frankrig bestemt, at visse familieydelser forbundet med antallet af børn udbetales til fransk mænd, der bor i udlandet såvel som til franskmænd, der bor i Frankrig.
It so happens that in Belgium we also have a 'career break", although the philosophy behind it is, nevertheless, different from that in France.
Til gengæld ved De, at den franske familiepolitik omfatter yderst forskellige tilskud, en meget bred vifte af tilskud.
What is involved here is, I would say. a way of taking a number of people out of the unemployment system, or even reducing unemployment figures, so that the career-break benefit is a matter for the unemployment department and not the family benefit department.
Blandt disse tilskud gælder de ydelser, der på grund af deres art er forbundet med bopæl i Frankrig, ikke i udlandet.
Thus in France, therefore, the parental allowance comes under family benefits, like family allowances, whereas in Belgium the career break is connected to unemployment benefit.
Det er tilfældet med boligtilskud, fordi det franske boligtilskudssystem er specifikt i forhold til de udenlandske systemer.
For my part, I am glad to hear you say that you are going to ask the Commission to make a proposal to abolish this derogation.
Det er tilfældet med ydelser til fysisk handicappede.
I would like to point out. however, that there will have to be unanimity in the Council.
Det er også tilfældet med den familieydelse, som der her er tale om.
But if France indicates that it agrees to abolish a derogation for itself, there should be no difficulty.
I tilfældet i det spørgsmål, der er stillet af fru Dury, gør familieydelsens »ikke eksportegnede« karakter, om jeg så må sige, at den pågældende person ikke kan få den.
In the meantime, the child will have been bom and it will perhaps be two or three years old already.
Til gengæld har hun ret til alle de familieydelser, der måtte findes i Belgien, i medfør af den belgiske lov.
I hope, all the same, to be able to give hope to other mothers with families.
Spørgsmål nr. 16 af Raymonde Dury (H-0169/95):
Lamassoure, President-in-Office of the Council. — (FR) I shall speed up. because I wouldn't like to deprive some Members of an answer.
Om: Forskelsbehandling i forbindelse med anvendelsen af socialsikringsordningerne
Mr Crowley is asking the Council about trade relations with China and what can be done to encourage our small and mediumsized enterprises to trade with China.
Under de omstændigheder er vi bevidste om, at denne situation skaber et problem og kan fremkalde uretfærdigheder.
1 shall reply to Mr Crowley that he is right to regard China as a very promising market which is growing very quickly.
Derfor har vi opfordret Kommissionen til at fremsætte et forslag til at ændre og forbedre de pågældende regler. Vi håber ud fra disse forslag at kunne nå frem til at forbedre situationen for de personer, der er i den situation, som fru Dury omtaler.
Up to now. this market has been explored chiefly by our large enterprises.
Rådets forordninger (EØF) nr. 1408/71 af 14. juni 1971 (') og nr. 574/72 af 21. marts 1972 (:), suppleret med et kommissionsforslag KOM(88)0027 (') den 5. februar 1988 og offentliggjort i en konsolideret udgave i EFT C
The Union's relations with China come under a trade and economic cooperation agreement which was signed in 1985
Dury (PSE). — (FR) Aller først vil jeg gerne takke Dem og Deres tjenester for at have forstået mit spørgsmål, hvilket ikke var tydeligt med de mange nummererede henvisninger til forordninger m.m. Men De har virkelig fået fat i problemet.
Lamassoure. — (FR) I should simply like to thank Mrs Dury for her clarifications and the comments which accompanied them.
Dury og at borgerne får mulighed for at drage fuld fordel af det indre marked og af de ydelser, som de er berettiget til?
Lamassoure, President-in-Office of the Council. — (FR) Mr Theonas is asking the Council about the problems encountered in the textile sector in Greece — problems which, in his view, give reason to fear that this sector of the Greek economy is at risk of disappearing.
Personligt er jeg ikke enig i denne opfattelse af familiepolitik ken.
and which we hope to improve, in particular when China becomes a member of the World Trade Organization.
Men det, jeg ønsker, er, at der ikke er nogen diskriminering over for denne mor, for uanset om hun bor i Frankrig eller ti kilometer fra den franske grænse i Belgien er situationen for hende den samme.
If the European Commission puts proposals to us for programmes to support the efforts of European SMEs in exploring the Chinese market, lhe Council will consider these proposals with the keenest interest.
Lamassoure. — (FR) Det forekommer mig, at det er et andet spørgsmål. Jeg er ikke i stand til at svare på det, men hvis hr. McMahon vil være venlig at stille mig det skriftligt, forpligter jeg mig til at svare ham hurtigst muligt.
I should like to say to Mr Theonas that the Council has expressed its concern at the transformations which the European textile industry is having to undergo, in particular in the Mediterranean countries, and especially in Greece.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 17 af Brian Crowley (H0173/95):
Crowley (RDE). — I thank the President-in-Office for his answer.
Om: Nye muligheder for små og mellemstore virksomheder for at forbedre handelsforbindelserne med Kina
Just as a supplementary to that I should like to emphasize not only in the context of increasing trade with China but also for employment prospects within the European Union as targeted in the White Paper on growth and employ ment, that the SME is lhe vital sector within which we can achieve that growth and employment.
Har Rådet planer om at udforme et program til udbygning af handelsforbindelserne med Kina, især hvad angår små og mellemstore virksomheder (SMV) og meget små virksomheder, som beskæftiger sig med uddannelse, ny teknologi og kommunikation?
Therefore I would ask for urgency and initiative to be given from the Council to boost the Commission into action on that point.
Jeg vil svare hr. Crowley, at han har ret i at betragte Kina som et meget lovende marked, der er i stærk vækst.
I confirm that the Council shares Mr Crowley's concerns.
Indtil videre har dette marked især været bearbejdet af vores store virksomheder.
A new element has arisen since: this is the customs union agreement signed with Turkey, which will be in force from I January next, subject to ratification by the European Parliament.
Det er ønskeligt, at de små og mellemstore virksomheder gør det samme.
I shall not go back over the debate we had on this subject this afternoon.
Unionens forbindelser med Kina hører under en økonomisk og handelsmæssig samarbejdsaftale, der blev indgået i 1985, og som vi håber at forbedre, især når Kina bliver medlem af Verdenshandelsorganisation.
von Habsburg (PPE). — (FR) Where trade with China is concerned, is it not time to become aware of a basic fact, and lhat is China's expansion in South-East Asia, in particular in the direction of Burma and Kampuchea?
Hvis Europa-Kommissionen stil ler os nogle forslag til programmer til at støtte de europæiske små og mellemstore virksomheders bestræbelser på at bearbejde det kinesiske marked, vil Rådet betragte disse forslag med meget stor interesse.
Would it not be in our interests to deal now. on the trade and political levels, with this expansion of Chinese influence which we cannot stop, and which I believe it would be better for us to integrate into the framework of our relations with this country, knowing that these relations are of the utmost importance?
Jeg vil også gerne med tanke på det spørgsmål, hun stiller, understrege, hvor forbavset jeg er over antallet af praktiske problemer, som grænsearbejderne møder med hensyn til socialret, arbejdsret, skatteret eller borgerlig ret.
On that occasion, the Council stressed that precautions would have to be taken regarding the consequences of this agreement for the Greek textile industry.
Og jeg er klar over, at på disse forskellige områder er fællesskabsindgreb ikke altid mulige — især på grund af, at det ofte drejer sig om personer, der ikke hører under Unionens kompetence — og heller ikke altid effektive.
I now quote the conclusions of the 'General Affairs' Council of 6 March: 'Further to the Greek memorandum on textiles, the Council and Commission have agreed that the Commission will, as soon as possible, and in collaboration with the Greek government, study the difficulties raised by the new conditions of international competition in the textile and clothing sector in Greece, together with the adaptation efforts to be made by enterprises in ihis sector in order to strengthen its competitiveness.
De bilaterale aftaler, som vores medlemsstater indgår med hinanden, er dog meget bagud i forhold til de situationer, som folk konkret møder i deres daglige liv.
In this context, the Commission has undertaken to present proposals, this year, taking into account the competitive situation in this sector'.
Crowley (RDE). — (EN) Jeg takker rådsformanden for svaret.
Lamassoure. — (FR) I should like to say to Mr von Habsburg that he is quite right.
Jeg vil blot gerne, i tilknytning hertil, understrege SMV's store betydning, ikke alene i forbindelse med den stigende handel med Kina, men også for udsigterne for beskæftigelsen i Den Europæiske Union Jf. målsætningen i hvidbogen om vækst og beskæftigelse, idet SMV-sektoren er afgørende for, at man kan opnå den omtalte vækst og beskæftigelse.
That is why. within the framework of the dialogue between the European Union and the ASEAN countries, we have taken stock of relations with China and the problems raised and opportunities presented by Chinese political and economic dynamism in the region.
Jeg henstiller derfor til Rådet, at det hurtigst muligt tilskynder Kommissionen til at foretage sig noget på dette område.
I think that the guarantees thus solemnly given by the Council and the Commission should reassure the author of this question.
Desuden vil jeg gerne give udtryk for min store glæde over, at nogle af Unionens medlemsstater nu kan drage fordel af Den Europæiske Unions love og beskyttelse på områder, hvor de tidligere selv lod hånt om disse love, navnlig inden for fiskerisektoren.
This is also the reason why. during lhe French presidency, we are in the process of studying the possibility of holding a major Europe/Asia summit by the end of this year, or next year, the better to take into consideration the possibilities of these major Asian partners, and in particular the new problems raised by the dynamism of China.
Lamassoure. — (FR) Jeg bekræfter bare, at Rådet deler hr. Crowleys interesser.
Question No 19 by Mr Ioannis Theonas (H-0183/95) Subject: Risk of Greek textile industry disappearing
McMahon (PSE). — (EN) Det var med interesse jeg lyttede til hr. Lamassoures svar.
Theonas (GUE/NGL). - (EL) Mr President, I should like to thank the President-in-Office for the scope — at least — of his reply and note lhe following: the textile and clothing sectors are extremely important industries in Greece.
von Habsburg (PPE). — (FR) Hr. formand, er tiden ikke inde, hvad angår Kina, til at blive bevidst om en fundamental ting, nemlig Kinas ekspansion i det sydøstlige Asien og især i retning af Burma og Kampuchea?
In the last five years production in the Greek textiles industry has plummeted, factories have closed down and tens of thousands of workers have been made redundant.
Vil vi ikke have interesse i allerede nu på det kommercielle og politiske plan at beskæftige os med denne ekspansion af den kinesiske indflydelse, som vi ikke kan standse, og som jeg tror. at det er bedre at integrere i vores forbindelser med dette land, da vi ved, at disse forbin delser er meget betydningsfulde?
During this period alone, its capacity fell by more than 50%. a quantity replaced by imports onto the Greek market. The impact of the GATT agreement and the prospective customs union between Turkey and the EU will be a body blow to remaining activity in the industry, which plays a particularly important role in the Greek economy and Greek exports.
De franske myndigheder har ladet en af mine vælgere, Samantha David, som bor i Arrigas i Sydfrankrig, løbe fra det ene offentlige kontor til det andet det sidste års tid. Det er faktisk sådan, at hendes papirer blev sendt til Paris i april sidste år, men hun har endnu ikke fået noget svar.
Lamassoure. — (FR) The Council will lake steps, acting on a proposal from the Commission, if, in view of the developments in the situation, lhe Commission considers this necessary, as I indicated just now.
Vil Rådet træffe foranstaltninger til at sikre, at sager som den. der angår min vælger, bliver behandlet hurtigere i fremtiden,
What measures will the Council take to prevent the disappearance of the Greek textiles industry, to strengthen manufacturing and modernize the industry restrict the mass import of textiles from Turkey and abolish the Turkish market's protectionist measures?
Lamassoure. — (FR) Jeg vil gerne sige til hr. von Habsburg, at han har helt ret.
President. — Questions Nos 20 and 21 will receive written answers.
Lamassoure har redegjort for forbindelserne med Kina og de rejste problemer og for de muligheder, der findes i den kinesiske politiske og økonomiske dynamisme i regionen.
Questions to the Commission made here, with regard to membership of a religion or ethnic group.
