Gode forbindelser tro og mistillid i fiskerikredse og mellem de nationale administrationer til, hvordan den fælles fiskeripolitik administreres og håndhæves.
This month in Belfast the Commission president launched the second phase of the Special Support Programme for Peace and Recognition in Northern Ireland and the Border Counties of Ireland.
Det sagde briten Robert Teverson (Det Europæiske Liberale og Demokratiske Partis Gruppe).
Jacques Santer announced that the programme would receive Ecu 100m on top of the initial EU allocation of Ecu300m.
Han var ordfører for Parlamentets Fiskeriudvalg under en debat om kontrollen af den fælles fiskeripolitik. tik.
The total funding, including the British and Irish government contributions, amounts to Ecu 542m of which 80 per cent goes to Northern Ireland and the remainder to the Border Counties.
- Jeg håber, at sportsarrangørerne fremover vil samarbejde med Kommissionen, så vi kan finde frem til en mere rimelig fordeling af billetterne, sagde kommissær Van Miert.
The European Parliament will shortly be organising writ­ten and oral competitions with a view to the recruitment of graduate English language administrators, including law graduates.
Det er bedre at forebygge, så man undgår en sag, hvor Kommissionen først kan gribe ind, når det allerede er gået galt.

Kommissionen har meget begrænsede ressourcer til rådighed - 22 inspektører helt nøjagtigt.
MEPs want to see the introduc­tion of single easy mechanisms for dealing with complaints with, for example, companies operating across Europe providing a contact address in each country.
De må ikke foretage inspektioner på eget initiativ - ledelsen skal altid ligge hos de nationale myndigheder i følge de gældende regler, oplyste hun.
Phillip Whitehead (Staffordshire East and Derby, PES) pointed out that research showed more than 50 per cent of consumers citing the possibility of obtaining a defective product, especially in the area of electrical goods as a reason for not shopping abroad, which, on price grounds, is likely to increase with the introduction of the euro.

IN the wake of the BSE crisis, and mounting concerns over food standards, MEPs this month called for improvements to EU food safety laws.
- Det er urimeligt, når man kun kan få billetter, hvis man er med lem af en sportsklub eller har gode forbindelser til en sponsor, sagde kommissær Karel Van Miert, der er ansvarlig for EU's konkurrenceregler.
MEPs were also critical of the Commission for dragging its feet in putting into effect new leg­islation providing for labelling of genetically modified foods.

Kommissionen har i de seneste år offentliggjort beretninger om kontrollen med den fælles fiskeri politik.
THE British minister for trade and industry, Margaret Beckett, came before the House to underline the commitment of the British presidency to improving industrial competi­tiveness and the environment for creating jobs and raising liv­ing standards.

The single mar­ket, she said, had already increased GDP in the EU by 1.1 per cent to 1.5 per cent, cre­ated 900,000 jobs and lowered inflation by one per cent.
En samling tabeller og statistiske oplysninger garneret med generelle bemærkninger skaber hverken et tillidsklima blandt fiskerne eller tiltro blandt medlemslandene til kontrollen, be klagede Robert Teverson.
The challenge now was to build on this and strengthen competi­tiveness, especially in industries facing liberalisation such as télécoms and energy.

Tyskeren Brigitte Langenhagen (Det Europæiske Folkepartis Gruppe) konstaterede, der sættes spørgsmålstegn ved hele systemets troværdighed, når regler bliver overtrådt og hverken bliver håndhævet eller kontrolleret.
Mrs Beckett recognised that greater strides had been made in the US on the job creation and growth fronts and felt that Europe could benefit from a reduction in the burdens on business of excessive red tape.
Vi kan kun forhindre overfiskning, hvis overvågningen bliver til strækkelig finmasket, og der bliver muligheder for at træffe passende sanktioner, mente hun.

MEPs demand accountability for European
I sådanne situationer kan det være svært at finde hjælp, når man står i et fremmed land.
MEPs w this month sought for the president of the central bank to be invited by Parliament to contribute to the annual debate on economic policy mak­ing.
der kan medvirke til at forbedre turisternes sikkerhed: • oprettelse af en garantifond til sikring af turisterne mod konkursramte fly- og rejseselskaber, • bekæmpelse af sexturisme, • brug af voldgift til afgørelse af tvister, • indførelse af et enkelt nummer (112) for alarmopkald i hele EU, • bedre uddannelse af medarbej derne i turistbranchen.
bank to explain clearly the back ground to policy making and to do this in a way that would involve close contact with the European public and not through isolation. It should not be an ivory tower, he added, reassuring MEPs concerned that too hard a monetary policy could lead to increased unemployment, and that public deficits had never created productive jobs.
Kommissær Neil Kinnock sag de, at når flere end halvdelen af borgerne i EU rejste på ferie i 1997, er der naturligvis behov for at gøre noget for turisternes ret tigheder som forbrugere.
The bank would be producing an annual report to Parliament and would be engaging in close dialogue with MEPs. The publication of the bank's minutes would also contribute to transparency.
Der er derfor behov for at gøre noget ved turisternes forbrugerrettigheder i EU. Turisterne har krav på både fysisk, juridisk og økonomisk sikkerhed.
Thibault de Silguy recognised the importance of democratic accountability for what was "one of the greatest projects in Europe since the last war".
Det vil for bedre kvaliteten inden for turistsektoren og dermed forøge EU's konkurrenceevne på området. Det mener Europa-Parlamentet.
It was, there fore, vital for the success of the venture to be underpinned by public confidence.
Der var således bred tilslutning til den initiativbetænkning om sikkerheden, forbrugerrettighederne og handelsnormerne inden for turistsektoren, som Udvalget om Transport og Turisme havde udarbejdet. bejdet.
He said there was broad consensus in the Council that the bank's independence would never be challenged and this too was the position of France.
af de aktiviteter af økonomisk og kulturel karakter, der har de bedste perspektiver i øjeblikket og for fremtiden, mener Parlamentet. - Den manglende lovgivning på turistområdet er en brist i det indre marked, sagde spanieren Pedro Aparicio Sánchez fra De Europæiske Socialdemokraters Gruppe, der var ordfører for ud valgets betænkning. - Det er vigtigt at gøre turister nes rettigheder tydeligere og me re udbredte.
Its essential role was to use monetary policy to create price stability but this did not mean that it was responsible for all economic policy making.
Vi ønsker ikke at anfægte de nationale rettigheder til at udarbejde regler på dette om råde, men vi ønsker at skabe nogle generelle rammer.
It was, he continued, the duty of the to reassure Europe's citizens that the new European Central Bank to be based in Frankfurt, would be properly accountable and responsive to the concerns of the man in the street.
Det vil styrke turismen, idet sikkerhed har stor betydning for turistens valg af rejsemål, sagde Pedro Aparicio Sánchez.
As Alan Donnelly (PES, UK) put it, it was vital for the bank as a new body to establish credibility and win the confidence of the general public.
Han mente, at alle for brugere står svagt over for sælgeren, men at turisten er særlig sårbar, fordi han er uden for sit vante miljø og ofte ikke taler sproget. get.
Bearing in mind uncertainty across Europe about the whole EMU process, he felt this could best be achieved by full reporting to the European Parliament.
Parlamentet henviser til, at Kom missionen endnu ikke har udarbejdet en handlingsplan for turismen i Europa.
While he had no problem in defending the bank's independence he did say that it was important for it to be seen to be operating a monetary policy that was for the benefit of all citizens and not just for multinationals or financial institutions.
- Heldigvis kommer de fleste ikke ud for ubehagelige oplevelser, men sikkerhed må alligevel være et centralt emne, sagde han. - Kommissionen har været aktiv på turistområdet, og vi vil fortsætte med at udvikle det indre marked for turister gennem sikkerhed, gennemsigtighed og information.

And Lyndon Harrison (Cheshire West and Wirral, PES) underlined the fact that the gov­ernor shortly to be appointed would in fact be "Britain's future bank manager", since ECB poli­cies would have a direct effect on the exchange rate of the pound, UK interest rates and inflation.
Vi skal sætte forbrugernes rettigheder i højsædet gennem støtte af nationale initiativer, og så skal vi se nærmere på vore forbrugeroplysningskampagner for at se, om de er gode nok, sagde Neil Kinnock.
Replying to Hugh Kerr (Essex West and Hertfordshire East, Greens) who urged Britain to join as soon as possible to slow down the rise in the pound and secure the advantage of cheaper interest rates, Council President Douglas Henderson acknowl­edged Britain's close connection with the euro but did say there was understanding in Council for Britain's position of pursuing an economic management policy with a view to bringing the coun­try's economic cycle into line with that of other EU countries before taking a decision to join after the next election.

By giving MEPs the opportunity to question the bank governor and key officials at length in committee, and obliging the bank to publish minutes of meetings, it would be possible to understand the reasoning behind decisions taken, for example on interest rates.
Han håbede derfor, at de nye initiativer bliver ubureaukratiske og lette at gå til.

THE MONTH IN STRASBOURG AND BRUSSELS
Sundhed og uddannelse
Crackdown on dangerous drivers
Op til det særlige EU-topmøde om beskæftigelse, der blev afholdt i Luxembourg den 20.-21. november sidste år, havde Europa-Parlamentet givet forhåndstilsagn om flere penge på budgettet.
The figures are much worse when male youth unemployment is taken into account with the EU average, at 18.7 per cent, much higher and including rates as high as 33 per cent in Spain and 28 per cent in Italy.
Nu har Kommissionen fulgt op på sagen og har lavet et forslag om støtte til jobskabende små og mellemstore virksomheder.
BRITISH Ministers were very much in evidence in Strasbourg this month with Douglas
For treårsperioden 1998-2000 omfatter forslaget en samlet støtte på 420 millioner ecu (lidt over 3 milliarder kr.).
MEPs this month put the finishing touches to a three-year Ecu450m job creation programme voted by Parliament last year.
Pengene skal bruges på tre om råder, hvor væksten i særlig grad begrænses af manglen på kapital: • Oprettelse og hurtig udvikling af innovative små og mellemstore virksomheder ved at forbedre virksomhedernes adgang til egenkapital.
MEPs identified small firms, which account for 66 per cent of total employment as the engine for growth and the intention is to pro­vide risk capital for innovation and cross-border joint ventures by the small business sector.
Hertil skal bruges 40 % af EU-midleme. • Fremme af joint ventures mellem små og mellemstore virksomheder i EU især ved at fjerne nogle af de eksisterende hindringer.
The scheme reinforces the commit­ment of EU leaders to combatting unemployment taken at the 997 Luxembourg jobs summit and will pro­vide a capital start up of Ecul()0,()()() per project.
Der skal bruges 20% af midlerne til dette formål.
There will also be guaran­tees to cover lending to small compa­nies employing less than l()() employees and will cover training programmes.
• Bedre lånemuligheder for små og mellemstore virksomheder.

Det skal blandt andet ske ved at re ducere de krav til sikkerhed, der stilles af mange långivere. Hertil skal bruges 40 % af midlerne.
MEPs want the programme extended to job creation activities by the small business sector in service areas such as public health, education and culture and proper assessment of the results by an independent body with an analysis of the quality of jobs created.
99 % af alle virksomheder har færre end 250 ansatte, og de tegner sig for 66 % af den samlede beskæftigelse.
MEPs this month approved a convention that would enable the country where a driver was resident to withdraw his or her licence for offences committed in another EU state.
Det er derfor nød vendigt at styrke de små og mellemstore virksomheders muligheder for vækst og levedygtighed ved at lette deres adgang til kapital og ved at fremme dannelsen af joint ventures.
When ratified, it would be up to the state where the driver is resident to decide on the appropriate penalty in line with its own national law.
Det skriver Parlamentets ordfører i betænkningen om Kommissionens forslag.
The idea is that the state where the offence was committed will inform the appropriate authorities of the country where the driver resides of the offence.
Ordføreren for Udvalget om Beskæftigelse og Sociale Anliggender var hollænderen Bartho Pronk fra Det Europæiske Folkepartis Gruppe.
As Viviane Reding (L, EPP) pointed out, with 45,000 deaths on Europe's roads every year, this move represented a positive response by the EU to dangerous drivers across Europe.
Finnen Outi Ojala fra Den Europæiske Venstrefløjs Fællesgruppe håbede, at der kommer større fokus på små og mellemstore virksomheder inden for områder som sundhed og uddannelse.
Present rules meant that a driver disqualified in one country could exploit loopholes and obtain a licence in another.
Der er brug for en bred fortolkning af begrebet innovation, således at det ikke kun omfatter højteknologi.
Mrs Reding emphasised it was not a question of a centralised European bureaucracy taking the decision but rather allowing the member states the opportunity to adjust the punishment to fit the crime.
Omsorg er lige så vigtigt, og her kan de små og mellemstore virksomheder supplere den offentlige sektor.
Other MEPs such as Wilmya Zimmermann (D, PES) were concerned to sec that citizens' legal rights were maintained and that such a decision could only be taken on the understanding that the driver in question had been offered a proper legal defence.
Det er ofte kvinder, som skaber virksomheder inden for dette område, og da der er tale om meget arbejdsintensive områder, skaber det alt andet lige flere arbejdspladser, men der mangler kapital, sagde Ojala.
In view of the differences in, for example, driving alcohol levels across the EU, Mr Zimmermann underlined the need to take extra care with this policy. The procedure will not apply to minor offences.
- De små og mellemstore virksomheder har ofte likviditetsproblemer, fordi de får deres betalinger for sent, påpegede skotten Winifred Ewing fra Gruppen Europæisk Radikal Alliance. Hun opfordrede Kommissionen til at komme med et intøativ på dette område.
Clare Short outlined planned improvements to development policy as MEPs expressed dissatisfaction with the management of aid to Bosnia.
Iværksætterånden skal stimuleres, skriver Kommissionen i sit forslag.
She noted the case of a company in Skye, manufacturing scien­tific instruments that had started with two workers and now employed 30 top scientists.
De små og mellemstore virksomheder spiller en væsentlig rolle ved skabelsen af nye job.
She highlighted the difficul­ties faced by small firms, which were often caused by late payments.
Deres evne til at udvikle nye for retningsideer, opdage nichemarkeder samt udnytte innovationer og nye teknologier sikrer den fremtidige konkurrenceevne.
She wel­comed news that the Commission was bringing in a directive on a code for prompt payment and she noted that late payers were often big companies; local authorities and even EU institu­tions.
Men de mindre virksomheder står ofte over for betydelige proble
Jim Nicholson (Northern Ireland, I-EN) stressed the need for a minimum of red tape and warned that national governments often imposed further bureaucratic conditions on Commission proposals.
Der er mange arbejdspladser i de mindre virksomheder. (Foto: Eureka-Slide/Thonet)
Also, small companies in Northern Ireland were disadvantaged by the strength of sterling compared to the Irish punt.
Udvalget mener, at indsatsen bør koncentreres om virksomheder med mindre end 100 ansatte, og kræver, at Kommissionen se nest 24 måneder efter forslagets vedtagelse foretager en samlet vurdering af ordningens funktionsmåde og virkning.
Although the overall average EU employment rate dropped to 10.5 per cent at the end of 1997, this masks widespread differences in the member states, with the UK figure at 6.6 per cent - much lower than the 21 per cent in Spain and 12.3 per cent in France.
Nye elektroniske køreskiver, regler for frakendelse af kørekortet i et andet land og tekniske normer for busser skal bidrage til bedre færdselssikkerhed

"The problems posed by peripherality and insularity are easy to understand: distance and higher travelling costs place the Highlands and Islands at a competitive disadvantage," she says.
For at undgå sådanne ulykker er der regler om køre- og hviletider for chaufførerne i lastbiler og turistbusser.
