I miljøprogrammet begrænser Kommissionen sig til forureningsbekæmpelse a posteriori, nemlig gennem affald.
There should be a change in the current situation whereby individual States deal with violations of Community regulations in the fight against fraud.
I adskillige en stemmige udtalelser, som Kommissionen overhovedet ikke synes at have taget hensyn til, har Det økonomiske og sociale Udvalg op fordret den til at foreslå forebyggende foranstaltninger :
Recently, one of the biggest importers of wines and spirits in Benelux, Geens-De Thorens, was found guilty of fraud for the seventh time (use of prohibited substances, incorrect labelling, fraudulent practices, etc).
- lidet forurenende teknikker - produkter, som kan genanvendes eller genbruges - foranstaltninger med henblik på større holdbarhed af varer,
The differences in penalties from one country to another can only lead to discrimination based on the way in which the regulations are applied.
I forbindelse med bekæmpelsen af spild er der også problemet om kring det undertiden alt for store udvalg af forbrugsgoder og tjenesteydelser, der tilbydes forbrugeren : et stort antal tankstationer eller bankfilialer på samme gadehjørne og en handelsmæssig udørk andre steder.
Sundry other points are mentioned below, although we cannot discuss them in detail here for lack of space:
Dette stemmer overens med overvejelserne vedrørende di stributionsapparatets undertiden alt for voldsomme udbygning, som frem føres senere.
- selectivity of the economic policy, which can be linked to other policies;
På den anden side medfører for korte produktionsserier højere udgifter, og også omkostninger til oplagring og mai— kedsføring (navnlig reklame) vokser som funktion af varernes eller tjenesteydelsernes antal - i sær hvis disse ligner hinanden.
- problem of "no-blame" liability (e.g. motor véhicule insurance);
Det store udbud forhøjer omkostningerne til det offentliges og forbrugerorganisationernes kontrol med priser, kvalitet og farlighed.
- problems connected with certain specific sectors (funeral services, correspondence courses, organized tours, etc.);
Det medfører større udgifter til at undervise og opdrage forbrugerne, komplicerer standardbestræbelserne og fører til, at varerne sælges på grund af deres sekundære egenskaber.
- advisability of introducing a "consumer" dimension into transport and research policies;
Forbrugerne har regelmæssigt lejlighed til at drøfte landbrugspriserne,men ikke de øvrige sædvanlige husholdningsudgifter.
In view of the importance of this question, the rapporteur decided not to devote his report solely to those topics but to mention this point at the end of his report.
I Kommissionens rapport om kon kurrencen finder man iøvrigt intet spor af "forbrugerbeskyttelse" og langt mindre af en økonomi, der i højere grad rettes mod "fremme af forbrugernes interesser".
Following discussions with the following European organizations: European Trade Union Confederation, EBCU, EUROCOOP,COFACE, he would propose the creation:
Inden for visse sektorer såsom olie, detergenter eller kosmetik hersker formelt en streng kon kurrence, og EF har så at sige ikke grebet ind.
- of a technical institute acting as a joint consultancy bureau for the organizations listed above and responsible mainly for examining Community law (technical barriers, etc.);
De første forholdsregler burde være :
- financed by the Community;
- regelmæssige møder mellem de ansvarlige for priserne i medlems staterne;
- with the four organizations listed above having an equal share in its management;
- oprettelse af et rådgivende udvalg vedrørende prisregulering, med deltagelse af Kommissionen, producenterne og forbrugerne, og som navnlig skulle undersøge årsagerne til de store prisforskelle for identiske produkter på de europæiske markeder;
- not replacing the organizations listed above (no direct contact with the public or the mass media, no publications);
- fortsættelsen på Ma Idague-rapporten.
The institute could also support the research work undertaken by the Commission itself.
- prisforhøjelser på fødevarer p.g.a. de høje omkostninger I TV-reklarner;
MR. J. SEMLER-COLLERY Consumer Information and Education
- skal børn overalt anvendes som pressionsmiddel mod forældre, hvis de da ikke blot betragtes under synsvinklen lommepenge, som der skal fås fat i ?
Consumer information and education are the subject of widespread discussion and heated debate in all the Member States of the Community.
Kommissionen burde tage initiativ til direktiver, som indeholder forbud mod reklame for alkohol, tobak, våben og nedlægger forbud mod visse former for reklame, der forringer miljøet eller begrænser skattefradraget af reklameudgifter.
It would seem that the contribution which consumer organizations are expected to make to the broad-based and thorough discussion proposed by the Commission of the European Communities in this Symposium is primarily to make concrete suggestions and proposals which will enable Community bodies to take steps to implement the "preliminary programme for a consumer protection and information policy".
V I. Varekundskab
A. CONSUMER INFORMATION
Forbrugeren bør oplyses om egenskaber ved de varer, han køber : levnedsmidler, tekstiler, elektriske husholdningsartikler,...
Nowadays, consumer information is considered a subject of fundamental importance, for without comprehensive (i.e. thorough, objective and continuous) information consumers would not be able to make a free choice.
Til gengæld må man dybt beklage den løsning, der blev valgt for kosmetik, hvor udelukkende producenternes holdning blev rådende : selv forekomsten af visse stoffer, der er anerkendt som kræftfremkaldende (såsom chloroform i tandpasta) skal ikke nævnes. På andre områder er der ikke de nødvendige oplysninger til at kunne foretage fornuftige indkøb : margarine, fors i kr ingskontrakters nøjagtige rækkevidde, ...
However, even the principe of consumers' right to information, which consumer organizations consider fundamental and which was discussed as long ago as 1962 by President Kennedy and more recently by the Council of Europe, is still widely contested by business circles and, in some cases, by the authorities and the courts, as has become apparent from the numerous symposia on this subject in the Member States.
På energiområdet gennemlever hele verden for øjeblikket en ændringsperiode, som bl.a. fører til udvikling af kernekraftværker, uden at en række problemer er blevet løst :
Although information is now recognized as a right and, even, its provision recognized as an obligation on business parties concerned and on the authorities rather than a privilege bestowed on consumers, its exercise is all too often limited in practice if not in law.
- politisk og teknologisk afhængighed.
Point 34 : Principles
De nye energiformer, såsom solenergi, varmepumper, o.s.v., der ikke medfører nogen ulemper, er endnu ikke teknisk fuldførte eller rentable.
The Committee must, however, discuss the exact scope and objectives of consumer information as viewed by Community institutions.
Indførelsen af dem kan desuden muligvis støde på mod stand i form af veto fra de multinationale energiselskaber (indefrysning af patenter, o.s.v.).
Does it not fail to take account of the consumer, not simply as a purchaser, but also as a partner who wishes to influence the structures, pattern and methods of production and distribution, and the consumer as a citizen claim ing a right to participate in the working-out and supervision of economic policy ?
Generaldirektoratet for kon kurrence anmodes om at være særlig opmærksom herpå.
Individual information is necessary but must it not also make collective consumer action possible ?
Hvis der på forhånd fandtes en lovgivning med en præventiv strafferamme, ville behovet for a posteriori foranstaltninger formindskes kraftigt.
Does it think, in particular, that the principle of harmonizing on the most advanced national provisions on consumer information, with the same demanded for consumer protection ?
standardisering af visse typer emballage (flasker) for at lette genanvendelsen af dem, ja, endog mere tvingende foranstaltninger (forbud mod visse typer engangsemballage).
Can the right to information also be considered a right to know the negative characteristics of products or services, a point on which the Community programme is silent ?
Den nuværende situation, hvor det er medlemsstaterne alene, som det påhviler at bekæmpe overtrædelsen af fællesskabsretten, kan ikke længere opretholdes.
1) Exchange of information. Does the Committee think that there is at present a coordinated exchange of information and that a European data bank could be set up under the auspices of the Community ?
Et sådant misforhold mellem straffen fra det ene land til det andet kan kun føre til en dybtgående forskelsbehandling i den måde, hvorpå lovgivningen tages i anvendelse.
In a more general context and in the absence of a reference to this matter in the Community's programme , does the Committee think that standardization should enable a dialogue to be established between producers and consumers and that the Community should take its own particular measures in this direction ?
Vi vil gerne anføre endnu nogle forskellige punkter, men de kan på grund af pladsmangel ikke uddybes nærmere :
In what sectors does the Committee think the Community's surveys should be developed ?
- problemer i forbindelse med visse specielle sektorer (bedemands forretninger, korrespondancekurser, selskabsrejser ...);
Does the Committee think that the means currently used by Community to publicize what it and Member States are doing (publications, films, exhibitions,
Spørgsmålet om oprettelse af en teknisk institution i forbrugernes tjeneste er blevet rejst gentagne gange.
Community measures six-monthly reports from the Consumers' Consultative Committee, radio, TV) are adequate ?
Dette spørgsmål blev ikke taget op i de 3 emner, som Kommissionen foreslog.
Could the creation of a European "consumer press"

agency, and Community directives on information provided by the press, radio and television be suggested ?
Efter kontakter mellem de europæiske organisationer :
Might it be suggested that the Community take steps, in its own interest and in that of the Member States, to ensure that the secrecy surrounding actual price forming is lifted ?
­ et teknisk institut, der fungerer som fælles ρ I anlægningskontor for ovennævnte organisationer, som bl. a. tager sig af at gen­nemgå fællesskabsretten (tekniske hindringer, o.s.v.);
This obligation, often ill defined by the law but gradually more clearly defined as precedents are set, applies before a contract is concluded (labelling, instructions, etc.) as well as in the contract itself (compulsory details).
­ finansieret af Fællesskabet;
Few comparative studies have been carried out into this aspect up to now.
­ styret med lige stor indflydelse af de 4 ovenn¿:vnte organ i sat ioner;
The Community could therefore encourage the development of such surveys or even make them a permanent institution and have them published in view of the increasing trend in this direction in all countries.
­ som ikke træder i stedet for ovennævnte organisatio­ner (ikke direkte kontakt med offentligheden eller massemedierne, ingen publikationer);
The information which is required by law and regulation is not com plete and is often ignored (secrecy in business, exemptions, inadequate checks, difficulty in seeking legal remedies, legal processes which are often slow and costly, etc.).
­ til tjeneste for organisationerne og deres repræsen­tanter i de forskellige europæiske rådgivende ud­valg, samt for forbrugerrepræsentanterne, der skulle designeres til C.E.N.
At the Community level, directives are often lax in respect of implementation deadlines, checks on compliance and penalties.
I denne forbindelse vil man konstatere, at Kommissionens store videnskabelige aktivitet på området sundheds­beskytte I se og mi I jø (symposier, o.s.v.) kan udvidestil at gælde andre områder, f. eks. ernæring.
Compulsory provision of information should be supplemented by voluntary supply of information under voluntary codes of conduct or by negotiation with qualified consumer representatives. In the private sector, the Community should of course actively encourage the drawing
Forbruge rop Iysn i ng og forbrugerunde rv i sn ing
Particularly in the conduct of com parative tests and publication of the results ?
Problemet vedrørende forbrugeroplysning og forbrugerundervisning giver i alle EF's medlemslande anledning til utallige drøftelser og store uoverensstemmelser.
In particular, should misleading criticism, which is an offence in some countries and is called for by advertisers in others, be made a general rule ?
Det ser ud til, at man i forbindelse med det udvidede og tilbundsgående samråd, som Kommissionen for De europæiske Fællesskaber har foreslået i anledning af disse mødedage, særlig for så vidt angår forbrugerorganisationerne, for venter konkrete forslag med henblik på at gøre det muligt for fællesskabsinstanserne at tage initiativer til gennemførelse af "det første program for en politik vedrørende forbrugerbeskyttelse og forbrugeroplysning".
Conversely, should the Community not take steps to ensure that the right of criticism which is vital to consumers, but whose principle, or practical applications, are all too often contested (naming brands, pharmaceuticals, information from consumers on points of sale, access to the mass media, etc.) can be exercised and is respected.
A. FORBRUGEROPLYSNING
Can Community legislation on the right of reply and criticism be envisaged ?
Forbrugeroplysning betragtes nu som en væsentlig sag, thi uden fuldstændig oplysning, dvs. nøjagtig, saglig og konkret oplysning, vil der ikke være nogen fri forbruger.
Could the principle of freedom of access to sources of information be introduced Community-wide in the public sector, since administrative secrecy more often than not has no legal foundation and is generally based on outdated habits ?
Selve princippet om forbrugernes ret til oplysning, der af for brugerorganisationerne hævdes at være grundlæggende, og som blev taget op i 1962 af præsident KENNEDY og senere af Europarådet, bestrides dog stadig i vid udstrækning af erhvervsfolk og i visse tilfælde af de offentlige myndigheder og domstolene, således som det fremgår af de utallige kollokvier, der er afholdt over dette emne i de forskellige fællesmarkedsI ande.
Consumer representatives must have time, the requisite ability, material means and energy in order to provide consumers with information. The Community might usefully devote its energies to drawing up and implementing a legal statute for the consumer providing protection for members of consumer organizations and ensuring that they receive adequate training (e.g. study leave) to enable them to inform the _BAR_general consumer public effectively.
Selv om oplysning fra at være en gunstbevisning er på vej til at blive en anerkendt ret, dvs. en pligt for erhvervsfolk og offentlige myndigheder, begrænses udøvelsen heraf alt for ofte praksis, ja endog retligt.
Limited knowledge means limited ability and, in the final analysis, the right to information would be useless without education, i.e. if the consumer were not in a position to understand the information he receives.
Er det tilstrækkeligt eller er det alt for be grænset blot an henvise til køberen af forbrugs-
Very few international studies have been carried out on consumer education and it is therefore gratifying to see that the Community has requested BEUC and EUROCOOP to carry out a number of studies which will enable current trends in the Member States to be more easily identified and guidelines for a consumer education policy under the Community programme to be drawn up.
Glemmer den ikke den deltagende forbruger, der ikke blot er køber, men som også ønsker indflydelse på produktionens og distributionens strukturer, retningslinjer og fremgangsmåder, og den samfundsbevidste forbruger, der forlanger at del tage i udarbejdelsen af og tilsynet med udøvelsen af den økonomiske politik ? Oplysning af den enkelte er afgjort nødvendig, men må den ikke og så give plads for forbrugernes fæl les indsats ?
These studies revealed that there is a growing awareness of the importance of consumer education in all the Member States but that the work undertaken by public and private bodies in this field is still very disjointed, often unknown and badly or not at all coordinated and that generally no work is undertaken jointly with other bodies, e.g. on vocational training.
Kan man navnlig fastholde princippet om harmo-n i sering på grundlag af det mest gennemarbejdede nationale oplysningsmateriale sideløbende med det samme krav vedrørende forbrugerbeskyttelse ?
The fairly general section of the Community programme on education defines two main objectives : that consumers should be able to make an informed choice and that they should be conscious of their rights and responsibilities.
Oplysning om forbrugsgoder og tjeneste- ydelser
It has also been noted that no mention is made of "priority action" in this chapter.
Går Kommissionen ind for, at der indføres en tvungen EF-varemærkning, eller at der blot foretages en harmonisering af medlemsstaternes lov givning ?
This could mean that international work on this subject is not very advanced and should be given strong encouragement, particularly by means of supplementary studies, before any guidelines for action are proposed.
Er det nødvendigt med udtømmende eller blot nyttige og praktiske oplysninger om be skaffenhed og egnethed ?
The Committee should reflect on the restraint and care with which the Community programme has been drafted which is doubtless due to the fact that the principle of permanent education means in practice that the whole of the education system in Europe would have to be changed.
Kan det tillades, at der bliver flere og flere undtagelsesbestemmelser i forbindelse med varemærkning af levnedsmidler ?
In the absence of directives or Community action the Committee will be able to study the matter more freely and submit concrete proposals to the Community institutions in Brussels.
Ville det ikke være bedre at forstærke bestræbelserne med henblik på at indføre varemærkning for andre varer end levnedsmidler og for tjene steydelser ?
The Community programme has shown exemplary discretion on the promotion of consumer education (point 43), simply underlining the need for studies to determine the methods and materials to be used.
Med hvilke praktiske midler kan EF tilskynde anvendelse og harmonisering af frivil-
The Committee might well examine the various aims and requisite stages of consumer education as well as the different levels of training since problems seem to vary considerably in the education of young or adult consumers.
lige systemer for oplysende varemærkning ?
But shouldn't we begin at the beginning by training the instructors themselves ?
Kan man gå med til, at retten til oplysning ligeledes er en ret til kendskab til negative egenskaber ved varer og tjenesteydelser, hvilket EØF­programmet i kke nævner noget om ?
Point 44 of the Community programme is more explicit on this point and calls expressly for the creation of special train ing centres with Community backing.
I) Udveksling af oplysninger. Mener Kommissionen, at man for øjeblikket kan tale om samordnet ud­veksling af oplysninger, og kan den forestille sig, at der oprettes en europæisk databank under protektion af EF ?
In this connection we should still be talking in terms of experiment and feeling our way rather than of institutionalized systems, which explains the parallel development of private initiatives aimed at filling the gap, or making up for total absence, in official teaching.
2) Fælles afprøvninger og ensartede metoder.
Programmes and methods also vary from country to country, even from school to school in some cases.
Hvilke initiativer kan EF tage med henblik på at fremme samarbejdet mellem de organer, der fo­retager sammenlignende afprøvninger, og hvilket bidrag kan den give til arbejdet i de bestående organer med henblik på at udforme ensartede stan­darder for afprøvningerne.
The urgent need for development and harmonization is beginning to be felt and here the EEC should not just stand aside.
Mener Kommissionen, at der skal udarbejdes særlige europæiske for­skrifter for sammenlignende afprøvninger, eller er det tilstrækkeligt at henvise til ISO's arbejde på dette område ?
Would the Commission be prepared to state that the education of the young consumer should be spread throughout the school cycle, a minimum amount being fixed for each year, depending on the age of the child and based on infant school activities designed to awaken his interest ?
Mener Kommissionen i bred almindelighed, og i mangel af henvisninger til dette problem i fæl­lesskabsprogrammet, at standardiseringen bør mu­liggøre, at der skabes bedre forståelse mellem producenter og forbrugere, og at EF bør tage særlige initiativer desangående ?
This education should take the form of: a) the gradual acquisition of basic concepts leading to the develop ment in the child of the ability to know and understand economic realities from the consumer's point of view; b) training his critical faculties; and c) preparing him, if appropriate, for taking on responsibility.
På hvilke områder mener Kommissionen, at det er nødvendigt at foretage EF­rundspørger ? Hvor­ledes kan EF fremme udvikling og harmonisering af rundspørgerne i de enkelte medlemslande for så vidt angår metoder, teknik og finansiering ?
Should not the consumer organizations and the technical bodies at their disposal be closely associated in the procedure of determining the objectives, programmes and means of this training ?
Oplysning om foranstaltnin­ ger på natio­ nalt plan og tæl I esskabs­ ρ I an ti I strækkel ige,for så vidt angår udbredelse af kendskab til EF's og medlemslandenes indsats (publikationer, film, udstillinger, halvårlige beretninger fra Den rådgivende Forbrugerkomité, radio, fjernsyn) ?
In some rare cases the initiative has been taken in secondary education; does the Commission feel that at this level of teaching, as in teaching for the professions or the teaching of social and family economics, courses on two levels, the one explanatory and the other giving greater specialist knowledge of consumer protection as associated with the practice of jobs in economics, business, law, administration or technical occupations, should be introduced ?
Kan man foreslå, at der op­rettes et europæisk "forbrugerpressebureau", og at der opsti I les fæl I esskabsretn i ngs I injer for oplysning gennem dagblade, radio og fjernsyn ?
Should it not be the role of the EEC to make recommendations to the Member States and ensure coordination between these various actions ?
Pkt. 40 og 41 : Mener Kommissionen, at den slags oplysning er væsentlig, og kan den være tilfreds med de oplys­Oplysning om ninger, der gives i EF's årsberetning eller gen­pri ser nem rundspørger om detailpriser ?
If we assume that consumer education has been properly tackled at school and considering the speed of technological advance and of changes in economic and social data which are challenging all our knowledge and consumer models, can the basic training given to a young consumer be regarded as adequate to allow him, when adult, to act as a knowledgeable buyer ?
Kan man fore­slå, at EF træffer foranstaltninger på egne og på medlemsstaternes vegne med henblik på at fjerne det hemmelighedskræmmeri, der almindeligvis om­giver problemet vedrørende den virkelige oplys­ning om priser ?
May we neglect the serious problems encountered particularly by the old, by immigrants and more generally by the least favoured social classes which for various reasons receive only partial schooling or none at all ?
Hvorledes forholder det sig med forbrugernes forslag om at lade EF nedsætte en europæisk priskomité ?
May we limit ourselves to preparing information without at the time enabling the consumer to understand, use and possibly criticise it ?
