Frem til udgangen af 1992 vil de resterende (endnu talrige) hindringer blive ryddet af vejen.
It is preparing to take another step by abolishing, between now and 1992, the last—but numerous— obstacles to the creation of a vast internal market.
Samtidig vil Fællesskabet styrke den økonomiske og sociale sammenhæng gennem en tættere samordning af medlemsstaternes økonomiske politik omkring store vækstog beskæftigelsesmål.
At the same time, the Community will reinforce its economic and social cohesion through increased coordination of the economic policies of its Member States, especially as regards growth and employment.
Ligeledes skal Fællesskabets bidrag til udviklingen af ubegunstigede regioner og til bekæmpelsen af arbejdsiøshed forstærkes hen imod skabelsen af den sociale dimension i det indre marked.
It will be contributing more to the development of the Community's disadvantaged regions and the fight against unemployment, and finally developing the social dimensions of the single market.
HVORDAN STYRES FÆLLESSKABET?
HOW THE COMMUNITY IS GOVERNED
Hver minister • overvejer fordele og ulemper, og i vigtige sager skal de alle give tilslutning, for at forslaget kan vedtages.
It represents the views of the people and contains politicians of the many different European political parties.
I disse tilfælde står ■ Europa-Parlamentet tættere I ved afgørelserne.
in the case of the more important matters, they all have to agree before it can become law.
en udtalelse fra Europa-Parlamentet. Det består af 518 medlemmer, som vælges for fem år (således i 1989) ad gangen af Fællesskabets befolkning.
In order to strengthen the Community's effectiveness, the number of cases where decisions can be taken on a majority vote has just been increased.
Parlamentet repræsenterer folket, og politikere fra de mangfoldige europæiske partier har sæde i det.
In such cases the European Parliament is more closely associated in general with the decisions.
Europa-Parlamentet skal konsulteres om alle Kommissionens forslag.
The Commission takes part in Council debates, which are often animated, with ministers defending national viewpoints, so that the Commission is asked to mediate.
Endvidere skal Det Økonomiske og Sociale Udvalg afgive udtalelse.
Second, the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee has to be sought.
Dette udvalg er sammensat af 189 repræsentanter for henholdsvis fagforeningerne, arbejdsgiverne og forbrugerorganisationerne fra hele Fællesskabet.
This is a 189-member committee of representatives from such bodies as trade unions, employers' associations and consumer groups throughout the Community.
Når et forslag er vedtaget og trådt i kraft, skal det overholdes i alle medlemsstaterne.
The headquarters of the Commission is in Brussels, the capital of Belgium.
Hvis nogen overtræder loven, kan den pågældende blive indbragt enten for en domstol i sit eget land eller for De Europæiske Fællesskabers Domstol i Luxembourg.
The Commission is a body of seventeen people, two each from the Federal Republic of Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom and one each from Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Portugal.
Kommissionens hovedsæde ligger i Bruxelles, Belgiens hovedstad.
Each commissioner, as he or she is known, serves for four-year renewable periods.
Kommissionen består af sytten medlemmer, to fra hvert af de store medlemslande og ét fra hvert af de små.
On appointment, they cease to act as Germans or Frenchmen or Britons and try to act only in the common Community interest.
Kommissionens medlemmer udpeges for fire år ad gangen, men der er mulighed for genudnævnelse.
The Commission proposes new policies and laws based on the Treaties and other objectives agreed by Member States.
Med udnævnelsen til kommissær følger, at den pågældende ikke længere er at betragte som franskmand, tysker eller dansker, men nu forventes at handle udelukkende i Fællesskabets interesse.
It also has the job of ensuring that these laws, when passed, are properly enforced in the Member States.
Kommissionens opgave er, på basis af Traktaterne, af fremsætte forslag til nye politiske målsætninger og til nye love.
However, the laws themselves are made by the Council of Ministers, but only after two other bodies have been consulted.
Når sådanne love én gang er vedtaget, skal Kommissionen overvåge, at de bliver overholdt i samtlige medlemslande. Men den har ikke selv lovgivende myndighed.
Once their opinions have been obtained, the proposal then passes to the Council of Ministers, who decides whether it should become Community policy or law.
Det tilkommer alene Ministerrådet at vedtage love.
Anyone breaking it may be taken either before their own national courts or before the Community's Court of Justice in Luxembourg.
Det skal først rådføre sig med to andre institutioner, og det kan i øvrige kun træffe beslutning på grundlag af, hvad Kommissionen er villig til at foreslå.
A European Council, which is made up of the Heads of State or Government of the Twelve and the Commission President, meets at least twice a year in order to set i broad guidelines for the Community.
Det er her afgørelsen træffes om, hvorvidt forslaget skal vedtages og blive til fællesskabslov.
First, the opinion on a proposed law has to be sought from the European Parliament, the 518-member parliament of the Community
Rådet er sammensat af tolv ministre, én fra hver medlemsstat.
The Council is composed of twelve ministers, one from each Member State, and, unlike the commissioners, these ministers act very much as representatives of their own country.
Til forskel fra
Each one weighs up the proposal and,
Fællesskabet består af tolv lande.
The Community is composed of twelve member countries.
I mange henseender er de helt uafhængige og suveræne stater i forhold til hinanden.
In most matters these countries still govern themselves quite independently of each other.
Men på visse områder træffes beslutningerne på fællesskabsplan, og på disse områder fastlægges politikken inden for EF og regeringerne vedtager her love, der gælder i alle medlemslandene. I det følgende beskrives, hvordan det foregår.
However, certain matters are decided at Community level and the Community makes policies and laws which apply in all its member countries.
FÆLLESSKABETS GEOGRAFI
COMMUNITY EUROPE:
Denne udvikling er typisk for alle højtindustrialiserede områder.
This means therefore that the Community's population accounts for just over 6.5% of the world's population.
I de kommende år vil der langs grænserne til det nordamerikanske fastland, Japan og Vesteuropa opstå et kraftigt befolkningsmæssigt tryk fra henholdsvis Sydamerika, Sydøstasien og den arabiske verden. Der er altså i EF tale om en
Other areas of the globe account for far more—a fact which will become even more apparent in the future as the populations of Latin America, South-East Asia and the Arab World continue to grow at a faster rate than Europe's.
— i forhold til den øvrige verden — stadig mindre og stadig ældre befolkning.
An ageing population
Den længste flod, Rhinen, er som en bæk sammenlignet med de store floder i andre verdensdele.
Community Europe has a certain homogeneity as a geographical area.
Alperne er langt mere tilgængelige end Andesbjergene og Himalaya. Der findes hverken ørkener eller jungler og kun få insekter og andre dyr, der er farlige for mennesker.
Its climate, even in the northernmost regions, is temperate thanks to the influence of sea currents, while the physical movement of people and goods across the continent is easy thanks to the absence of difficult natural features such as impassable rivers and mountains.
Med et areal på ca. 2,26 millioner km2 — ca. en fjerdedel af De Forenede Stater, en tiendedel af Sovjetunionen — er Fællesskabet et lille område.
Community Europe's longest river, the Rhine, is a mere stream compared to the rivers of other continents and the Alps, cut by glacial valleys, are more open to human exploration than the Andes or the Himalayas.
Der er gode kommunikationsmuligheder og gode erhvervsbetingelser.
There are no deserts or jungles and few insects or animals hostile to man.
De ældre udgør en stadig større del af den samlede befolkning. Kvinder kan i gennemsnit regne med at leve i 78,2 år og mænd i 71,6 år.
As a result of advances in medicine as well as other improvements in our standard of living, life expectancy has now greatly increased.
Bestræbelserne for at forlænge levealderen har tydeligvis båret frugt, selv om sygdomme som kræft og hjertesygdomme endnu ikke er bekæmpet.
On average, a woman can now expect to live to the age of 78.2 and a man to 71.6 despite the fact that certain diseases such as heart disease and cancer have still to be conquered.
Fødselstallet er dalet en smule overalt.
On the other hand, the birth rate has dropped everywhere.
— så befolkningen i gennemsnit bliver ældre og ældre.
It is, thus, a small and compact area offering easy communication and favouring economic activity.
I de tolv EF-lande lever ca. 324 millioner mennesker — ud af en verdensbefolkning på godt og vel 5 000 millioner.
The consequence of this is that the percentage of old people in the Community's population is rising while the percentage of young people is falling.
Det vil sige, at befolkningen i EF kun udgør lidt over 6,5 procent af jordens befolkning.
The result is an ageing population.
Et tæt befolket område
THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY
Bortset fra Japan er Europa et af de tættest befolkede områder i verden, og det hører også med til billedet, at befolkningen hovedsagelig består af byboere.
Another feature of the Community is that it has a dense, largely urban population.
Denne kendsgerning vil blive endnu mere fremtrædende, efterhånden som afvandringen fra landet fortsætter, og endnu flere bosætter sig i byer, storbyer og forstæder.
As the figures show, with the exception of Japan, Europe is one of the most densely populated areas in the world—a fact which has been accentuated by the continued movement of people away from country areas to live in towns and cities and their surrounding suburban areas.
Denne koncentration har en voldsom indflydelse på livets kvalitet i Fællesskabet.
This concentration has enormous implications for the quality of life of the people of the Community.
Det har f.eks. stor betydning for borgerne, hvor man placerer kernekraftværker og andre industrivirksomheder, og problemer som forurening, affald og trafikpropper skaber enorme komplikationer.
For instance, it matters a good deal where we locate nuclear power stations and industrial plants and it has important implications, too, for dealing with such issues as waste disposal and traffic congestion.
En anden følge af koncentrationen er mangel på jord og deraf følgende høje priser.
It also means that land is in short supply and has a high price.
Det berører alle, som gerne vil bo godt.
This affects all of us who want a decent home in which to live.
FÆLLESSKABETS KULTUR:
THE CIVILIZATION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY:
En fælles historie
A common history
Efter tur er de nyankomne faldet til ro i Europa og hurtigt blevet næsten mere europæiske end europæerne selv.
Europe has not lost its identity.
iværksætter programmer (COMETT, ERASMUS, Ungdom for Europa...) med det formål at stimulere udveksling af unge, studerende og videnskabsfolk.
between young people, students and scientists (Comett, Erasmus, Science, etc.).
Med udgangen af 1992 skal alle Fællesskabets borgere kunne arbejde, studere, bo, hvor de ønsker.
At the end of 1992 the Community's citizens will be able to work, study and reside where they like.
Der er ni officielle sprog, mange ikke-officielle sprog samt talrige lokale dialekter inden for Det Europæiske Fællesskab.
All the new arrivals have fitted into the European mould and have rapidly become some of the staunchest supporters of their new culture.
Man kan undertiden få indtryk af et sandt Babelstårn.
With its nine official—and numerous unofficial— languages, and its hundreds of dialects, the Community often appears to be a Tower of Babel.
Det glemmes dog alt for tit, at tværs gennem denne i øvrigt frugtbare mangfoldighed løber en grundlæggende fælles europæisk kultur, der er næsten tre tusinde år gammel og har sine rødder i de vigtigste gamle civilisationer.
What is frequently forgotten, however, is that this very diversity is an enriching factor and one that reflects the fundamental unity of the European culture that has grown up over the last three thousand years on the soil of Europe's ancient civilizations.
De store folkevandringer, invasioner og krige har skabt nye grænser, sat sig sproglige spor, ændret skik og brug og forandret det gamle kontinents ansigt. Men Europa har ikke mistet sin identitet af den grund.
The various migrations, invasions and wars have made havoc of frontiers, influenced the development of languages, changed customs and ways of life and have altered the face of the old continent, but for all this
Ligeledes kendte filosofi, litteratur, videnskab og kunst ikke til nationale grænser. En Erasmus fra Rotterdam, en Bacon eller en Dante var filosoffer og læremestre i såvel London som i Paris, Firenze eller Toledo.
For a long time philosophy, poetry, science and art had no nationality, and Erasmus of Rotterdam, Bacon and Dante could have been equally at home in London or Paris, Florence or Toledo.
Højborgene for denne fælles arv var de berømte universiteter i Heidelberg, Prag, Padova, Salamanca, Oxford, Uppsala, et univers hvori de samme mestre, »klerkene«, færdedes for at viderebringe til andre elever de samme kundskaber og den samme bevidsthed om at tilhøre en fælles verden. Dette sammen med købmandskaravanerne mellem Venedig, Brugge, Barcelona, Genova og Lübeck samt de fromme pilgrimsrejsende til Santiago de Compostela eller Rom var altsammen med til at binde Europa sammen.
The repositories of their common heritage were the great universities of Heidelberg, Prague, Paris, Padua, Salamanca, Oxford and Uppsala, a compact universe within which the same men of learning travelled around, imparting to other students the same knowledge and the same awareness of belonging to the same world.
Europas brogede kulturarv...
The diversity of the European cultural heritage...
LIGHEDER I MANGFOLDIGHEDEN
UNITY IN DIVERSITY
Sprogene: Forskellige facetter af en fælles arv
Languages: different facets of a common heritage
Europas historie er en fælles historie for alle de europæiske folk. At man udtrykker sig på forskellige sprog ændrer ikke ved denne kendsgerning.
The history of Europe is common to all of its peoples, and this is not altered by the fact that they speak many different languages.
De nye civilisationer i Nordamerika og Latinamerika, som er udsprunget af vores, betragter på godt og ondt det gamle kontinent som en kulturel enhed.
On the contrary, the new civilizations that have emerged from ours, such as those of North America and Latin America, regard the old continent as one single cultural entity.
Når man i New York eller i Rio de Janeiro taler om os, siger man Europa og glemmer vores regionale grænser.
When people in New York or Rio de Janeiro talk of us, they talk of Europe and forget our regional boundaries.
Samtidig skal det være lettere for Fællesskabets indbyggere at forstå hinanden.
The linguistic diversity of the 12-nation Community should be safeguarded.
Undervisning i et andet fællesskabssprog fra de første skoleår kunne medvirke hertil.
At the same time the people who make up the Community should be helped to communicate with each other.
Fællesskabet har allerede taget initiativer på dette område.
.. is the wealth of our common civilization.
Det har foreslået alle medlemslandene, at undervisning i det mindste I ét af de andre fællesskabssprog bliver obligatorisk.
The teaching of a second European language right from the first years of school would make a major contribution here, and the Community has already taken a step in this direction by asking all the Member States to make the teaching of at least one European foreign language compulsory.
Desuden forberedes en fælles lærebog i Europas historie, som vil kunne foreslås anvendt ved undervisningen i alle skoler.
A standard school textbook on European history is also being prepared for all teachers who wish to use it.
FÆLLESSKABETS ERHVERVSLIV:
THE COMMUNITY ECONOMY:
Med særligt henblik herpå er oprettet Den Europæiske Fond for Regionaludvikling.
Rich region, poor region seen that the per capita income of the former is about three or four times that of the latter.
landbrugsbefolkning er et sikkert tegn på en tilbagestående økonomi.
The European Community has chosen economic integration as a means of achieving unity.
intet fortæller om forskellen i velstand fra land til land og fra region til region.
We should, therefore, pay particular attention to its economy.
Målet for Det Europæiske Fællesskab er at integrere landenes økonomier og erhvervsliv.
In the Community as a whole, eight workers out of every 100 work in farming.
Men hvad er i denne sammenhæng Europas styrke, og hvad er vor svaghed?
These figures confirm that the Community is, by and large, a highly developed area.
Velstanden i Fællesskabet
The wealth of the Community
Et andet sikkert mål for velstanden er den gennemsnitlige indkomst pr. indbygger målt i købekraft. I Fællesskabet var indkomsten pr. indbygger i 1987 118 885 kroner.
These comments, however, are based on average figures for the whole Community and they tell us very little about the differences in wealth between the various countries and regions of the Community.
Det er mindre end i USA (185 640 kroner), men meget mere end i Sydamerika og Afrika.
The Community is trying to reduce these differences by making numerous investments in the poorest regions.
Fællesskabet er rigt i forhold til store dele af verden.
In particular, it has set up a European Regional Development Fund.
Luxembourg ligger i toppen fulgt af Danmark, Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland, Frankrig, Storbritannien, Holland, Italien og Belgien i den nævnte rækkefølge.
Apart from the question of differences in wealth between regions and countries, there is another dramatic and far-reaching issue which involves all Community countries, namely unemployment.
Denne konklusion er imidlertid baseret på gennemsnitstal for hele Fællesskabet, som naturligvis
First of all, let us consider how people are employed, bearing in mind that if many people in a country work in agriculture, it usually indicates a backward economy.
Fællesskabet er et højt industrialiseret område og derfor langt rigere end mange andre dele af verden.
Another gauge of wealth is the income produced per inhabitant in terms of purchasing power. The income per capita for the Community in 1987 was about £6 864 (IR £8 763).
Kun 8 ud af hver 100 arbejder i landbruget, 33 arbejder i forarbejdningsindustrien og 59 i servicesektoren.
This was, however, less than that of the USA, £ 10 718 (IR £13 683), but much higher than that of Latin America or Africa.
Tallene siger ikke blot noget om udviklingsniveauet, men også om velstanden. En stor
In other words the Community is rich in a world of comparative poverty.
Forskellene inden for Fællesskabet træder endnu tydeligere frem, hvis man i stedet for at sammenligne landene sammenligner de enkelte regioner.
If we analyse the wealth produced by each member country, it will be seen that countries can roughly be divided into two categories.
Indkomsten pr. indbygger er fire til fem gange større i de ti rigeste regioner inden for Fællesskabet end i de ti fattigste.
Spain, Ireland, Greece and Portugal constitute the second category with a per capita income of between £ 5 079 - £ 3 683 (IR £6 484-£4 702).
Fællesskabet arbejder imidlertid på at udligne forskellene.
These differences in wealth are even more marked if we compare regions instead of countries.
Man yder mange tilskud til investeringer i de dårligere stillede regioner.
If, for example, the ten wealthiest regions of the Community are compared with the ten poorest, it will be
Fællesskabet er et højt industrialiseret område i verden.
The Community is a highly industrialized region of the world.
VELSTAND OG FATTIGDOM
WEALTH AND POVERTY
STØTTE FRA DEN EUROPÆISKE FOND FOR REGIONALUDVIKLING 1981-1986
The Commission of the European Community has put forward several proposals with this in mind.
I november 1988 var der over 15.4 millioner arbejdsløse i EF-landene, og heraf var 33.5 procent under 25 år.
In November 1988, there were 15.4 million registered unemployed in the Community, of whom 33.5% were under 25 years of age.
Alle lande i Europa er ramt af arbejdsløshedens svøbe.
This is not simply an economic problem but one which also raises important political, social and moral issues and can only be solved by combined national and Community efforts.
Reformen af de europæiske strukturfonde og fordoblingen af deres midler frem til 1993 skal gøre det muligt for Fællesskabet af øge dets bidrag til udviklingen af ubegunstigede og problemfyldte regioner, til faglig uddannelse af de unge og til kampen mod langtidsledighed.
The reform of the Community's structural Funds, and the doubling of their budgets between now and 1993, should enable the Community to do much more to help regions which are either disadvantaged or in difficulties, to help young people find jobs and to fight long-term unemployment.
Og situationen kan kun forbedres, hvis der sker en fælles indsats fra medlemslandenes og Fællesskabets side. EF-Kommissionen har stillet mange forslag herom.
In many of the poor regions of the Community, there is little industry and agriculture is not very prosperous.
Paris-området er en al de rigeste egne i EF.
The Paris Basin is one of the Community's richer regions.
FÆLLESSKABETS ERHVERVSLIV:
THE COMMUNITY ECONOMY: compared with only 1.4% in the case of the United Kingdom.
Hvorfra stammer nu denne velstand, som — selv om den er skævt fordelt — alt i alt er større end i de fleste andre dele af verden?
We have seen in the previous section that Community Europe is comparatively rich despite the fact that there are marked differences in wealth between Member States and between the different regions of the Community. How is this wealth produced?
Et varieret erhvervsliv
A varied economy
Nogle arbejder i forarbejdningsindustrierne og producerer alt fra sardiner i olie til stålkonstruktioner og TV-computere. Andre arbejder i servicesektoren eller som læger, lærere og togførere, og endelig er altså 9 procent beskæftiget ved landbruget.
A prosperous Community agriculture is vital to the Community not only because of the large numbers of people employed but also because the Community needs its food production to eat and its industrial raw materials production for industry.
Fællesskabet er i færd med at forny sin landbrugspolitik.
Reform of the Community's agricultural policy is under way.
Hovedmålene er følgende: kontrol af produktionen og sanering af markederne, lettelse af landbrugets strukturtilpasning, fremme af landbrugets udvikling, begrænsning af de offentlige udgifter.
The main objectives are to bring production under control and stabilize markets; facilitate structural adjustments; promote rural development and contain public spending.
Landbruget er al vital betydning lor EF.
The Community's economy is very varied and people earn their living in many ways.
Formålet med den tælles landbrugspolitik er at garantere, at lorbrugerne til stadighed bliver forsynet til rimelige priser og at sikre landmændene en rimelig Indkomst.
Some people work in manufacturing industry, producing everything from iron and steel to watches and computer games; others work in professional and service jobs such as doctors, teachers and train drivers; while others work in agriculture.
Men hvor vigtig landbruget end er for Fællesskabet, er dets bidrag til velstanden dog kun lille sammenlignet med industriens.
But as important as agriculture is to the Community, its contribution to Community wealth is nevertheless small compared with that of industry.
Over for landbrugets bidrag på 3,4 procent i 1986 står industriens på 36,5 procent og servicesektorens på 60,1 procent.
Compared with agriculture's 3.4% in 1986, manufacturing industry contributed 36.5% and service industry 60.1 %.
