The Court ruled that in the case of Francovich and Bonifaci against Italy, the plaintiffs were entitled to redress according to national law in respect of compensation following the bankruptcy of their employer as provided for under EC directive 80/987, even though the directive in question had not been implemented by the Italian government.

committee were giving evidence on Wednesday, 17 February to the foreign affairs committee of the House of Commons for its inquiry on Europe after Maastricht. It was the first time that a select committee of the Commons had received a multi-national delegation of MEPs.
Spil ikke regionerne ud mod hinanden, men skab fælles regler for arbejdernes grundlæg­gende rettigheder i EF, sagde han.
British members David Martin (Lothians, Soc) and Derek Prag (Hertfordshire, EPP) were joined by the chairman of the committee, Marcelino Oreja (Soc) from Spain, Karel de Gucht (LDR) from Holland and Klaus Hänsch (Soc) from Germany.
»Vi må sørge for, at der igen kommer en tættere sammen­hæng mellem rentesatser og inflationsrater og genskabe betydningen af realøkonomisk aktivitet.
Another area for concern is the time lag between agreement on a directive by the Council of Ministers and its transposition into national laws.
Desværre er det pen­geudlånerne, som styrer templet. Det lader ikke til, vi har en Mes­sias, som vil jage dem ud.«
The most direct form is through a regulation, which is. directly applicable in all the member states.
Som en afhjælper på situationen krævede Parlamentet, at direktiv­forslaget om europæiske bedriftsud­valg, virksomhedssammenslutnin­ger samt information og høring af arbejdstagere, vedtages straks.
While British Ministers argued this would wreck the Treaty and force all the other member states to go through the ratification process again, the situation is far from clear.
Kommissæren for konkurrence­politik, belgieren Karen Van Miert medgav Parlamentet, at overflytning af virksomheder er en alvor sag for dårligt stillede regioner, specielt i en tid med høj arbejdsløshed.
If passed, it would almost certainly delay the ratification process beyond the autumn, with the Government trying to retrieve the situation in the House of Lords.
­ Der er sket en renationalisering af den økonomiske politik, mente Klaus Riskær Pedersen, da han talte på vegne af Den Liberale Gruppe.
It is, therefore, perhaps hardly surprising to find the member states reluctant to embark on new areas of legislation bearing in mind the consequences.
Han forklarede den lave økonomiske vækst med, at med­lemslandene ikke har villet leve op til de økonomiske kriterier, der er sat i forbindelse med Den Økono­miske Monetære Union. ­ Man regnede med, alt nok gik, som det skulle, og derfor undlod man at foretage de nødvendige til­pasninger, sagde han.
That is why, when there is a failure to agree, Ministers often agree a resolution or a declaration which theoretically commits them to some kind of action whether in the field of, for example, energy policy or education without the threat of legal proceedings, should nothing materialise.
På tværs af de politiske grupper var der enighed om, at et fuldt rea­liseret indre marked vil gøre det nemmere at holde Fællesskaberne
But here again, the Court has ruled that declarations do, in fact, constitute a form of Community law.
­ Men det er medlemslandene selv, der skal bane vejen for at få realrenten ned.
Instead, a broader based directive is employed, with the member states left to implement it or fill in the details according to different national legal traditions, which is fine in principle but can lead to different interpretations according to country.
Det kan blandt andet gøres ved at få bedre styr på de offentlige finanser og ved at lave overenskomster, der bærer præg af ansvarsfuldhed, fastslog han.
The number of reasoned opinions almost doubled from 251 in 1990 to 412 in 1991, since there were more instances where the member states failed to respond to an initial warning.
Christophersen afsluttede med en appel til Europa­Parlamentet om at lægge pres på ECOFIN­Rådet, om at træffe de nødvendige foran­staltninger.
However, the number of cases actually going to Court only amounted to 64, and Commissioner Henning Christophersen believes this shows the threat of legal proceedings does produce results.
Det er altså Kom­missionens fremmeste pligt omgående at tage alle skridt for at virkeliggøre den fri bevæge­lighed for personer, som uden tvivl er et central emne i den europæiske samling.«
While the situation with regard to the single market has certainly improved, with the result that by the beginning of 1993 about threequarters of directives had been implemented at a national level, the situation is far from satisfactory.

The Danish sensitivity over citizenship is another example of the unwillingness by some member states to cede a superior or hierarchical role to the Community.

For while Denmark is willing to accept the right of citizens from other EC states to vote in local and European Parliamentary elections, it is anxious to emphasise it does not accept the concept of European citizenship taking precedence over national rights.

This question is clearly for the future, while at present the pendulum is swinging in the direction of the member states as the subsidiarity principle takes over.

Pedro Bofill Abeilhe (S, Soc), for the economic affairs committee, calls for EC legislation to force the banks to publish their charges, stop the practice of double charging customers at both ends, introduce a four-day settlement period for cross-border payments and provide clients with a proper means of redress for complaints.

Private borgere har ofte ikke ressourcer til at lægge arm med EF-retten.
Commissioner Raniero Vanni d'Archirafi made a spirited defence.
Derfor mener Parlamentet, at borgerne må sikres en passende retshjælp, så de sikres den ret, de har.
While confirming he was operating a "softly softly" approach based on gentle persuasion, he did say that some improvements had occurred and he was optimistic about further progress during the year.
I det fælles beslutningsforslag, der var kommet i stand som et kom promis mellem socialisterne, kristdemokraterne og de liberale, var der to formuleringer af nøglepunktet: tillid til Kommissionen og dens program.
Other new commissioner's include Ireland's Padraig Flynn, responsible for social affairs, employment and immigration, loannis Paleokrassas from Greece with the portfolio for environmental policy, nuclear safety and fisheries, with Antonio Ruberti from Italy taking over research and development.
I den ene formulering godkendte man Kommissionens program - i den anden var der foreslået, at Parlamentet og Kommissionen i de kommende uger skulle tale om hvilke ændringer, der var nødvendige, for at Parlamentet kun ne stemme for et tillidsvotum.
Existing commissioners retaining their portfolios include Britain's other Commissioner Bruce Millan responsible for regional policy, Germany's Peter Schmidhuber for the budget, Denmark's Henning Christophersen for economic affairs and Spain's Manuel Marin for development policy .

EMS crisis — answers sought
Desuden bør den danske regering, Rådet og Kommissionen lave en kompensationsordning for de lande, der er ramt af ulykken.
No such help was forthcoming for the Irish punt, he complained, despite the efforts made by Ireland to meet the Maastricht criteria for economic and monetary union.
I sin tale til Europa-Parlamentet sag de formanden for Kommissionen, Jacques Delors, at den nye Kom mission kun skal fungere i to år; men at disse to år kan blive afgørende for EF's fremtid.
THE devaluation of the Irish punt and continuing tensions within the European Monetary System led to MEPs demanding an explanation from the Commission for the reasons behind the recent crisis.
Nogle, ¡sær medlemslandenes regeringer, mener, at Kommissionen skal føre en forsigtig politik, mens bl.a. man ge Euro-parlamentarikere ønsker en mere aktiv indsats fra Kommissionens side. Delors mente, at en af grundene til den generelle utilfredshed er de virkninger, den ver densøkonomiske krise har haft for EF.
AGAINST the background of attacks on Belgian meat in spectors and the attempted bombing of the house belonging to Belgian MEP Jaak Vandemeulebroucke (RBW), who has spoken out against the "hormone mafia" in Belgium, MEPs expressed dissatisfaction that the Commission was not coming down hard enough on users of illegal hormones in beef production.

Indeed coming to the bank's defence, Karl von Wogau (G, EPP) wondered why it was blamed for the crisis.
Bonde opfordrede den nye Kom missionen til at rydde op i lovene og administrationen, før man starter opbygningen af nye generaldirektorater i Bruxelles.

- Mange danske offentlige ansatte er bange for EF; men det behøver de ikke være, sagde den danske socialdemokrat Joanna Rønn under en debat om det indre marked og den offentlige sektor. Joanna Rønn forklarede angsten med, at skatte- og afgiftsharmoniseringer kunne gøre det svært at holde det høje serviceniveau, som man kender i Danmark.
It also enables the Commission categorically to reject calls from MEPs for EC legislation with the argument that there are alternative ways of proceeding.

This declaration was accepted by the Twelve at the Edinburgh Summit.
Han opfordrede til solidaritet og understregede, at devalueringer ikke giver nogen løsning på problemerne.
This, of course, misses the point that there are effective means for individual citizens to take action when they suspect an infringement of EC law, which is not the case with international conventions.
Delors lagde videre vægt på at få gennemført Det Sociale Charter. Han forsikrede, at Kom missionen vil lægge pres på Rådet for at få flere sager igennem.
In order to avoid future misunderstandings and recriminations, Parliament would like to pin governments down through agreement on an annual legislative programme, signed at the beginning of the year by the three institutions, but the member states are reluctant to commit themselves.
