ECB's beslutning i sidste uge om at fastholde renten medvirker til bl.a. at sikre beskæftigelsen, sagde hun.
Restructuring of firms (B5-0185/0186/0192/0195/0196/0199/99)
Han delte Parlamentets ønske om hurtigt at få indført et fælles europæisk betalingssystem.
Wednesday 27 October - Commissioner Anna DIAMANTOPOULOU came before the House against a background of the restructuring of Michelin which has recently announced its intention to cut up to 7,500 jobs.
ECB har i september opstillet en række målsætninger, der forventes at ville medføre væsentlige forbedringer på dette område.
The Commissioner said that there were lots of reasons behind restructuring, such as globalisation and technological change.
En forudsætning herfor er, at bankerne indfører fælles tekniske løsninger for grænseoverskridende betalingsoverførsler og desuden forbedrer deres interne procedurer betydeligt.
She regretted the loss of jobs and considered that the process must be carried out in a manner that minimised the potential harm.
ECB håber, at dette mål kan nås samtidigt med indførslen af eurosedler og -mønter den 1. januar 2002, sluttede Wim DUISENBERG.
She stressed the importance of ensuring that those made redundant were employable elsewhere and also of consulting workers in such circumstances.
Caries-AIfred GASÒLIBA I BÖHM (ELDR, E) støttede betænkningen og kravet om større åbenhed.
Referring to current EU legislation on redundancies she stated that the "company concerned" did not appear to have contravened the rules.
Han gik ind for et forslag om at give ECB en overgangsperiode på to år, hvorefter der skal være krav om offentliggørelse af referater fra møder i Styrelsesrådet samt af de økonometriske modeller, der anvendes i Styrelsesrådets beslutningsprocesser.
Mrs Diamantopoulou argued for an Observatory for SMEs which would enable those concerned to see in advance what would happen She stressed that the EU should follow the social model and that although restructuring would always hurt the damage should be limited.
Han gav udtryk for sin gruppes bekymring i anledning af rygterne om rentestigninger, der kan skade beskæftigelsen og miljøinvesteringerne.
Cooperation between the social partners was essential, she said, and she would be having a meeting with them early next month.
Derer imidlertid behov for mere åbenhed i ECB's beslutningsproces, understregede han.
Bartho PRONK (EPP/ED, NL) for the EPP was not prepared to discuss a specific decision by a single company.
Han henviste til, at andre centralbanker i den seneste tid har bevæget sig i retning af betydeligt større åbenhed.
If the French government that was made up of "Communists, Greens and Socialists" was not going to intervene it was clearly not the responsibility of the European Parliament.
Han efterlyste specielt referater af møder i Styrelsesrådet, 6-8 måneders prognoser for den økonomiske udvikling samt regelmæssige analyser af den økonomiske udvikling i de enkelte eurolande.
Elly PLOOIJ-VAN GORSEL (ELDR, NL) stressed that companies needed to become as competitive as possible.
ECB bør være mere aktiv som en af hovedaktørerne i det monetære system og lægge pres på de medlemsstater, der i for høj grad baserer sig på kortsigtet gæld, hvilket gør dem sårbare i en krisesituation, sagde han. Desuden bør ECB aktivt medvirke til at nedbringe omkostningerne for grænseoverskridende betalingsoverførsler, sluttede Christopher HUHNE (ELDR, UK).
The Commission and Parliament did not have the right to intervene in these matters, she said, although she recognised that company restructuring needed to take place in good time and with adequate information for employees.
ECB har misforstået begrebet demokratisk kontrol, når den traktatlige forpligtelse til at forelægge en årsberetning for Parlamentet opfattes som en samarbejdsordning, sagde Sylvia-Yvonne KAUFMANN (GUE/NGL, D).
Roger HELMER (EPP/ED, East Midlands) argued that the issue of redundancies announced by one company in one member state was not an appropriate matter for the European Parliament.
Parlamentet er stedet, hvor ECB skal begrunde sine afgørelser og i givet fald modtage kritik, understregede hun.
He did not think that jobs could be kept "on life support" as this would damage competitivity.
I modsætning til ECB-formanden gik hun ind for, at ECB gennem pengepolitikken aktivt skal bidrage til at sikre beskæftigelsen.
He applauded the "Anglo-Saxon model of flexible labour markets", considering that the European social model resulted in a struggle to keep workers employed in failing businesses.
Denne første årsberetning ser tilbage på 1998, og vores behandling heraf kan ikke være den endegyldige metode for samarbejdet mellem
Businesses created jobs, he said, not governments or the EU.
William ABITBOL (UEN, F) sagde, at ECB synes at have fået tildelt såvel den verdslige som den åndelige magt i EU.
Gérard CAUDRON (PES, F) struck a very different note, arguing that it was not acceptable for a company which had just announced a 17% increase in profits to then shed 7,500 jobs.
Økonomi og V almægtig, er det jo nærmest helligbrøde at kræve større åbenhed, sagde han.
even more distasteful, he said, as the redundancies had then been followed by a sharp rise in Michelin's stock exchange listing.
dels i månedsoversigten Der offentliggøres ikke afstemningsresultater, bl.a. fordi der næsten aldrig stemmes, sagde han.
He called for genuine information to go to employees and condemned the sacrifice of employees on "the altar of profit".
Beslutningerne træffes kollektivt, og selv om argumenter for og imod offeltliggøres efterfølgende, så star beslutningerne ved magt, understregede han.
Danielle AUROI (Greens/EFA, F), who lives in Clermont-Ferrard, condemned the Michelin decision, declaring that cynicism was the driving force behind the strategy ofmajor industrial companies.
ECB er ved at undersøge mulighederne for at udarbejde prognoser, der er egnet til offentliggørelse.
Francis WURTZ (EUL/NGL, F) also condemned the subordination of the interests of the workforce to share price and condemned the "greed" shown by Michelin.
Vi har ganske enkelt ikke de fornødne ressourcer og modeller på nuværende tidspunkt, sagde Wim DUISENBERG.
Total deregulation was not acceptable, he said, and he lamented the fact that there had been no new rules since the Vilvoorde redundancies.
ECB mener ikke, at der er grund til bekymring over det forskellige inflationsniveau i eurolandene, fordi der også er interne inflationsforskelle i USA, sagde Hans BLOKLAND (EDD, NL).
Stephen HUGHES (PES, North East) declared that he was not in the business of "shackling the decision-makers" but believed that a good company would not simply treat its workers as factors of production.
Han ønskede desuden at henlede ECB-formandens opmærksomhed på problemer vedrørende grænseoverskridende bankfusioner uden for euroområdet.
He was also unhappy that references to Michelin had been removed from the text of the resolution without his knowedge and he wanted the matter to be investigated.
Han understregede, at det i henhold til Amsterdamtraktaten er ECB's primære opgave at sikre prisstabilitet, og at han derfor måtte skuffe de medlemmer, der ønskede en mere aktiv rolle for ECB på områderne vækst og beskæftigelse.
Expressing his sympathy with the workers who had just been made redundant, Phillip BUSHILL-MATTHEWS (EPP/ED, West Midlands) recognised the strong feelings by those affected, explaining that he knew just what it was like, as he too had in the past lost his job.
Ligeledes beroligede han de medlemmer, der udtrykte frygt for konsekvenserne af en renteforhøjelse.
However, he did not feel it was up to Parliament to try and interfere with the running of companies, except for pushing for general improvements in the business environment such as a reduction in red tape and non-wage costs.
På nuværende tidspunkt vil en renteforhøjelse svarer til at man letter foden på speederen, mens man kører hurtigt på motorvejen, sagde han.
Restructuring was best undertaken when the company was successful, he contended.
Det er interessant, at ordføreren skriver i sin begrundelse, at Europa-Parlamentet er ansvarlig for at modtage og drøfte årsberetningen og kontrollere ECB, sagde Ole KRARUP (Folkebevægelsen mod EU), der talte på vegne af Gruppen for Demokratiernes og Mangfoldighedens Europa.
Replying to the debate, Anna DIAMANTOPOULOU recognised the concerns of the House and felt the challenge now was to try and find a balance between the needs of business and society and the people affected. While it was important to create the necessary climate to encourage enterprise, it was also important to take account of workers' concerns.
Det er der ikke noget grundlag for, idet hverken traktatens artikel 113 eller statuttens artikel 15 giver Parlamentet nogen som helst andre beføjelser end beføjelsen til at snakke, fastslog han.
The EU could contribute on the legislative front, as indeed it had done, with various regulations on collective redundancies and information for the workforce.
Bankkontrol er ikke ECB's opgave, men vi er stærkt involveret i den videre udvikling af regelsæt på området, ligesom vi nu deltager i alle relevante, internationale fora, sluttede Wim DUISENBERG.
It could also contribute in other ways by pushing for better training, a friendly tax environment and encouraging companies to adopt best practices from other member states.
(27/10) Parlamentet godkendte betænkningen med enkelte ændringsforslag.
Social dialogue was vital to overcome this challenge to Europe.
I denne forsamling tror man, at spørgsmålet om euroen og etableringen af ECB er et overstået kapitel og en succes, hvilket det ikke er, sagde han.
The House subsequently voted in favour of this resolution which deals with the general issue of the restructuring of firms.
Kursen er faldet siden etableringen af euroen, og hvis man ser på socialt ansvarlige kriterier såsom arbejdsløshed, så springer det jo i øjnene, at de tre nordeuropæiske lande, som står uden for, nemlig Danmark, Sverige og Storbritannien, har en væsentlig lavere arbejdsløshed end visse områder i EU, hvor den er katastrofalt høj, påpegede han.
An amendment condemning the decision by Michelin to make over seven and a half thousand employees redundant was defeated by 229 votes to 210 with 5 abstentions.
Folkeafstemningerne i de nordiske lande vil måske bringe en anden dagsorden, sluttede Ole KRARUP.
Also rejected was a reference to Michelin in the text of the resolution.
Kommissær Pedro SOLBES MIRA understregede, at Kommissionens rolle i forbindelse med forelæggelsen af ECB's årsberetning indskrænker sig til at lytte.
Nuclear test-ban treaty B5-0198/0200/0201/0202/0203/99) /0202/0203/99)
Wim DUISENBERG afrundede debatten med at konstatere, at spørgsmålet om gennemsigtighed åbenbart var af større betydning, end han havde forventet.
Wednesday 27 October - Kimmo SASI summarised feeling in the House when he expressed his deep regret at the decision of the US Senate not to ratify the nuclear test-ban treaty.
Han definerede gennemsigtighed som at stille så mange oplysninger som muligt til rådighed vedrørende den økonomiske udvikling og Styrelsesrådets overvejelser.
It could, he said, jeopardise nuclear disarmament talks, emphasising the EU's support for the Treaty as a step-by-step approach to disarmament.
Han henviste til, at baggrunden for Styrelsesrådets beslutninger bliver offentliggjort, dels på det efterfølgende pressemøde.
At the same time, it was important to realise that President Clinton did in fact support ratification and had announced that the US would refrain from undertaking any more nuclear test explosions.
Nyt fra Parlamentet - Okt.-II 1999
At present, he told the House, some 155 states had signed the Treaty with 51 ratifying it.
Elektroniske signaturer nøglefaktorerne for udviklingen af det globale informationssamfund.
It would, he added, introduce a comprehensive verification procedure through global monitoring.
Der må tilvejebringes procedurer til forbedring af sikkerhedsstandarder og den juridiske anerkendelse af elektroniske signaturer og certificeringstjenester, sagde Kurt LECHNER (PPE/DE, D).
The decision of the US Senate, he said, was all the more regrettable, especially as it would only encourage other nuclear powers such as Russia, China, India and Pakistan to follow suit in not ratifying.
De er af væsentlig betydning for opretholdelsen af forbrugernes sikkerhed og tillid i forbindelse med elektronisk handel, sagde han.
Nevertheless, it was not the end of the road and it was all more important now for the EU to use its influence to try and persuade senators to change their mind.
Han understregede, at der med forslaget for første gang på europæisk plan vil blive tilvejebragt rammevilkår for autentifikationstjenester (autentifikation af kilden og dataintegritet), og den juridiske anerkendelse af elektroniske signaturer bliver sikret.
MEPs could play a role here as well, he added. On the issue of controlling nuclear power, this should be taken up in the enlargement negotiations and proper safeguards pursued through the PHARE and TACIS programmes, he added.
Forslaget har primært til formål at sikre, at en modtager af elektroniske data kan aflæse deres oprindelse (autentifikation af kilden) og kontrollere, om de er blevet ændret (dataintegritet).
For the PES group, Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (E) urged Parliament to put its views across with friends in the USA.
Et rent europæisk regelsæt vil ikke være tilstrækkeligt på grund af Internettets globale karakter, hvilket ikke mindst fremgår af de forskellige aktiviteter i internationale institutioner.
For the Liberals, Bertel HAARDER (DK) felt it was important to distinguish between the actions of the US Senate and the position of the US as a whole, which as a country had done much to contribute towards nuclear disarmament.
Ensartede regler på europæisk plan kan dog spille en vigtig pionerrolle for indgåelsen af verdensdækkende aftaler, sluttede Kurt LECHNER (PPE/DE, D).
He too felt it was now up to Europeans to speak to their friends in the Senate with a view to asking them to think again.
Direktivforslaget er teknologisk set neutralt og dermed åben for fremtidig udvikling inden for autentifikationsmetoder.
In describing the decision of the US Senate not to ratify the nuclear test-ban treaty as "deplorable", Patricia McKENNA (Greens/EFA, Dublin) too expressed her disappointment at the lack of support amongst Europeans for a proposal before the UN to strive for a nuclear-free world.
Det gælder for offentligt tilgængelige systemer, som f.eks Internettet, men ikke for lukkede systemer, såsom lokale netværk eller interne banksystemer.
She welcomed the recent decision by the Scottish court in favour of nuclear protestors and felt that the US Senate had shown contempt for international moves towards disarmament.
I forslaget fastlægges kravene til certificering, først og fremmest vedrørende leverandørgarantier og anvendelse af pålidelige systemer. Der fastsættes også minimumsregler for leverandørens ansvar for certificering.
While recognising the fears over a danger of increased nuclear proliferation from this decision of the US Senate and supporting Parliament's right to criticise it, James ELLES (EPP/ED, South East) looked into the motivations of the Senators.
Joachim WUERMELING (PPE/DE,D) mente, at forslaget er et godt udtryk for den rette balance i europæisk lovgivning, idet der hermed fastsættes klare standarder for elektroniske signaturer på europæisk plan, mens det overlades til medlemsstaterne at bestemme, hvorvidt de vil lade elektroniske signaturer ligestille med håndskrevne underskrifter i retlig henseende.
He felt they were failing to take on board the globalisation of new technology and perhaps feared the deterioration of US nuclear arms stocks if testing was brought to a halt.
Ved førstebehandlingen godkendte Parlamentet forslaget med en del ændringsforslag, der i vid udstrækning er blevet accepteret af Rådet.
Another speaker to refer to the recent case in Scotland was Neil MacCORMICK (Greens/EFA, Scotland) who too welcomed the decision to acquit the protestors against nuclear weapons and in particular the Trident missiles.
Parlamentets Udvalg om Retlige Anliggender og Det Indre Marked anbefaler derfor med Kurt LECHNER (PPE/DE, D) som ordfører at godkende den fælles holdning med ganske få ændringer af teknisk karakter.
He put on record his opposition to the use of Scotland as a nuclear base, before adding his voice to those who deplored the US Senate decision.
Der er ligeledes fundet en god balance mellem ønsket om bedst mulig beskyttelse af forbrugerne og hensynet til erhvervslivets interesser, vurderede Joachim WUERMELING (PPE/DE.D).
Gary TITLEY (PES, North West) considered that the Senate vote sent out the wrong message to the "hawks in the Duma".
Foreløbigt skal disse rammer gælde internt i EU, men vi skal være åbne over for at løse problemerne vedrørende elektronisk handel på verdensplan, konkluderede han.
The stupid thing was, he said, that the Treaty would have ensured US nuclear superiority for ever.
Dette gælder navnlig den grænseoverskridende anerkendelse af signaturer og certifikater.
He stressed the need to have an effective CSFP so that the EU was not at the mercy of US domestic politics.
Maria BERGER (PSE, A) sagde, at der med forslaget er tilvejebragt en hurtig og rigtig løsning, der vil sikre beskyttelse af forbrugerne.
Replying for the Council, Kimmo SASI welcomed the anonymity achieved in the debate and stressed the need to concentrate the EU's efforts on the US Senate.
Hun ønskede at opfordre medlemsstaterne til hurtigst muligt at tilvejebringe det fornødne retsgrundlag for anerkendelse af elektroniske signaturer.
Commissioner PATTEN meanwhile also drew a distinction between the United States and the US administration on one side and the US Senate with its Republican majority on the other.
Astrid THORS (ELDR, FIN) understregede, at der er tale om et vigtigt forslag med betydelige, økonomiske implikationer. Der må ikke ske en
He noted that the Treaty had been defeated by 51 votes to 48 in the Senate.
Ordføreren for Forfatningsudvalget, Kurt LECHNER (PPE/DE, D), understregede, at den elektroniske handel på Internettet er en af
This meant that there was a long way to go as ratification would require a two-thirds majority.

Wednesday 27 October - Opening the debate for the Council, Kimmo SASI stressed the importance of having an effective EU strategy towards Russia.
Det er samtidigt af afgørende betydning, at medlemsstaternes systemer for anerkendelse af elektroniske signaturer også kan bruges på det internationale marked, sluttede hun.
He updated the House on his recent meeting with the Russian Prime Minister Putin, who had stated that the Russian economy was growing, helped by trade and improved tax collection.

No state of emergency would be declared as a result of the crisis in Chechnya and democratic elections would be held.

Mr Sasi stressed that the EU condemned the unwarranted use of force in the Caucasus and that this view had been conveyed to Mr Putin.

However, bilateral trade was not developing as well as the EU would like, he noted.
Kommissær Erkki LIIKANEN afrundede debatten med at takke Parlamentet for den hurtige og grundige behandling af direktivforslaget.
There needed to be a serious dialogue with Russia on the question of enlargement but there could be no special trilateral mechanism involving the EU, Russia and applicant countries.
Han meddelte, at Kommissionen kan acceptere de fleste af udvalgets ændringsforslag.
Mr Patten stressed that enlargement should not create a new dividing line in Europe and that President Prodi had stressed the benefits of the process to Moscow.
(27/10) Parlamentet godkendte forslaget med de fleste af udvalgets ændringsforslag.
Turning to the Northern Dimension, Mr Patten noted that Prime Minister Putin wanted large areas of north west Russia to be developed, and he drew particular attention to the "unique situation" of the Kaliningrad enclave.
