ikke er tilstrækkeligt, vurderede Helveg Petersen. - Der er tegn på, at den økonomiske krise har nået bunden, sagde komissær Henning Christophersen; men han advarede om, at de bedre vækstudsigter i 1994 alligevel må forventes at føre til en forøgelse af arbejdsløsheden.
A decision on closer links with the Eastern European countries leading to eventual membership is also expected at Copenhagen.

Han begrundede det bl.a. med, at investeringerne i Europa foretages for at øge produktiviteten og dermed reducere arbejdskraftbehovet.
'It is once more a nice feeling to be a Dane', said Marie Jepsen (Dk, EPP) who saw the 'Yes' vote as a sign of optimism for the future.
Det er nødvendigt at skabe muligheder for vækst, fordi det i det længere løb vil give en bedre beskæftigelse. Men det er også nødvendigt med en mere arbejdskraftorienteret vækst og investering, sagde Henning Christophersen.
But an opponent of Maastricht, Jens­Peter Bonde (Dk, RBW) gave notice that he would be putting together an anti­EC coalition for next year's European election.
Et andet vigtigt element er at nedbringe den sker at se resultater, og det tættere samarbejde vil føre til flere arbejdspladser, forventede hun. Europa-Parlamentet anbefaler, at der på topmødet i København bliver arbejdet videre med de vækstinitiativer, som blev vedtaget i Edinburgh.
what was happening in view of apparently conflicting statements by Commissioner Sir Leon Brittan, who has been quoted as complaining about the burden of social legislation and other costs on Europe's businesses when compared to those in Japan or the USA, and replies at question time by Commissioner Bruce Millan, who said there were no plans to question welfare benefits as such.

Looking to the forthcoming Copenhagen Summit, Council President­in­Office Niels Helveg Petersen emphased that tackling unemployment and building on the Edinburgh growth initiative would be the main priority. Economic Commissioner Henning Christophersen warned that with a forecast growth rate across Europe of just 2%, it would not be enough to stem the tide of rising unemployment which, he said, was not expected to come down before 1995 or 1996.
Vi bør overveje EF's politiske effektivitet og beslutningssystemet, foreslog han.
The truth was, said Mr Christophersen, that European economies were less efficient than Japanese or American in creating new jobs.
Delors mente, at man bør drøfte både forpligtelser og fordele for de enkelte medlemslande i et EF omfattende betydelig flere lande end i dag.
This point was taken up by Commission President Jacques Delors, who drew attention to the 20 million jobs created in the USA and the 11 million in Japan between 1970 and 1990, against a figure of just 8.8 million for the Community.
- Vi håber, at der fra København kan blive udsendt et klart signal til de lande i Central- og Østeuropa, som EF har lavet samarbejdsaftaler med, sagde Helveg Petersen.

Især de unge kvinder, der får en bedre uddannelse, ønsker at blive på arbejdsmarkedet, og det skal vi støtte, sagde den danske socialdemokrat Joanna Rønn.
As a result of a 1992 EC regulation to phase out production of harmful CFCs, which are used in standard laundry equipment, new machines will have to be installed by the end of next year.
Men det er uacceptabelt, at antallet af arbejdsløse kvinder er dobbelt så stort som inden for mændenes rækker.
It will affect some 1,700 family businesses in the UK, many of which, Mr Harrison thinks, will be unable to afford the new equipment and be forced to close without assistance.
Derfor er der hårdt brug for en ekstra indsats, der styrker kvindernes jobmuligheder, efterlyste Joanna Rønn.

Mr Vandemeulebroucke intends to report his findings to Parliament's social affairs and employment committee after the summer.
Irlænderen Mark Killilea fra Europæiske Demokratisk Alliance var en varm fortaler for øget støtte til lokale beskæftigelsesinitiativer.
In addition, the international community through the G­24, committed 53bn ECU to the countries concerned between 1990 and the end of 1992.
Det er hjælp til selvhjælp.
However, although the agreements with Poland and Hungary were signed in December 1991 they have still not been ratified by all the member states.

Recent tension between Hungary and the Community over trade and the delay in ratification of the association agreement are of concern to Hungarian MPs.
»Jeg kan ikke lade være med at kommentere hr. Bondes bemærkning om, at der i København vil blive holdt et alternativt anti-Maastrichttopmøde.
But future Hungarian participation in a strong European Union continues to enjoy all­party support among the committee's members.
Jeg kan forsikre hr. Bonde om, at jeg i hvert fald med meget stor op mærksomhed vil følge, hvad hr. Bonde kan blive enige med fru Thatcher, hr. Le Pen og de tyske højrekræfter om.
The prospect of EC membership is a driving force for economic reform, internal stability and a healthy democratic system in Hungary.
Jeg er sikker på, at hr. Bonde også vil med dele sine kolleger i Europa-Parlamentet, hvad man er blevet enige om af store nye tiltag, som skal løse de problemer, vi står over for.
Given regional instability, EC membership is also vital for Hungary's security. Hungarian expectations are such that anything less than a clear signal from the Copenhagen Summit on a perspective for future membership will be a bitter disappointment.

It is an open secret that EC aid programmes have been bedevilled by delays and the choice of suitable projects, while the early rush to invest in newly privatised companies may have been a boon for financial consultants and bankers but has cost some western companies dear.
