Denne fjerde prioritet sigter dels mod en styrkelse af Parlamentets rolle, dels mod en ef fektiv beslutningsproces i Rådet og en forbedring af samrådsproceduren, alt sammen forslag, som allerede findes i meddelelsen af 7. oktober 1981 ')· Det er på disse betingelser, at tilendebringelsen af forhandlingerne om udvidelse af Fællesskabet med Spanien og Portugal — som er det femte prioriterede mål — får betydning og er udtryk for EFs og medlemsstaternes fornyede opsving.
This fourth priority includes a stronger role for Parliament, progress to wards an effective decision-making process within the Council and a better legislative conciliation procedure, all proposals and suggestions already contained in the com munication of 7 October 1981.1If these conditions are met, the completion of the en largement negotiations with Spain and Portugal—the fifth priority objective—will as sume its full meaning and reflect the new found spirit of the Community and its Member States.
Gennemførelse af en energistrategi for Fællesskabet
Implementation of an energy strategy for the Community

I sin meddelelse af 30. september 1981 om » Udvikling af en energistrategi for Fælles skabet«1) afstak Kommissionen en handlingsramme, der skal gøre det muligt for EF at løse energiproblemerne mere effektivt. I fortsættelse af denne meddelelse sendte Kommissionen den 10. februar Rådet fire meddelelser om investeringer i rationel energiudnyttelse, kernekrafts og kuls rolle i energipolitikken samt sikkerheden i naturgasforsyningen.
The Commission's communication of 30 September 1981 on the development of an energy strategy for the Community outlined a framework for action allowing the Community to respond more effectively to the challenge of the energy problem.1On 10 February the Commission followed it up by sending the Council four further com munications—on investment in the rational use of energy; on the nuclear aspects of the energy policy; on the role for coal; and on the security of natural gas supplies.

The Member States' policies stressed the need for the Community and the Member States to ensure that investment in energy, and particularly in its rational use, proceeds at a fast pace and a high level in the years to come.
Der findes i medlemsstaterne store potentielle energibesparelser, som i industrien som helhed anslås til 1520% af det nuværende for brug og i de energitunge industrigrene til 5-10%.
There is wide scope for saving energy in the Member States; 15 to 20% of general industry's present energy consumption could be saved, and between 5 and 10% in the major energy-consuming industries.
Det anslås, at der kan opnås besparelser på 1520% af forbruget i byggesektoren og i transport sektoren kan der spares ca. 15%.
Savings of between 15 and 20% could be achieved in the building industries.
Investeringernes afgørende betydning og nødvendigheden af at fremme dem
Savings of between 15 and 20% could be achieved in the building industry and about 15% in transport.
Vanskeligheder og forhindringer
Difficulties and obstacles
7.2.J. Kommissionens udgangspunkt er, at til trods for den nedgang i energiimporten, der er konstateret i de seneste år, er EFs økonomi fortsat stærkt afhængig af importeret olie.
The Commission bases its arguments on the fact that, in spite of the downturn in energy imports over the last few years, the Community's economy is still heavily dependent on oil.
Den finder, at selv et beskedent opsving i den økonomiske aktivitet i industrilandene hurtigt vil blive bremset, endog standset, af de økonomiske virkninger af olieefterspørgslen på et marked, der fortsat vil være spændt.
It feels that even a modest economic upturn in the industrialized countries would soon be curbed, if not halted, by the effects of increased demand for oil in a market which is likely to remain tight.
Energipolitikken må derfor hurtigt fremme de nødvendige strukturtilpasninger, bl.a. for at åbne mulighed for en ef fektiv styring af efterspørgslen.
Energy policies must therefore seek to promote the rapid structural adjustment required to ensure effective demand management in par ticular.
Disse tilpasninger kan kun finde sted ved et højt investeringsniveau inden for rationel energiudnyttelse.
Adjustments of this type can be achieved only by substantial investment in the rational use of energy.
I øvrigt er der særlige vanskeligheder inden for en række sektorer, f.eks. i industrigrene med et højt energiforbrug, i byggesektoren og i små og mellemstore virksomheder.
Over and above this, sectors such as the ma jor energy-consuming industries, the building industry and small and medium-sized firms face special problems of their own.
Forslag til foranstaltninger, der må gennemføres eller overvejes
Measures which could be taken or stepped up
De første vurderinger viser, at det samlede energiinvesteringsniveau i Fællesskabet til trods for den ambitiøse indsats, der er gjort i visse lande, ikke er højere end i tresserne.
Provisional estimates suggest that, despite the ambitious efforts which some countries have already made, the overall level of energy investment within the Community is still no higher than in the 1960s.
Medlemsstaternes planlagte programmer ventes at udgøre ca. 2% af BNP, hvoraf kun 0,4% afsættes til investeringer i rationel energiudnyttelse.
In all, the na tional programmes amount to some 2% of the Member States' GDP, only 0.4% of which is for investment in the rational use of energy.
Dette tal burde efter Kommissionens opfattelse være 0,7% i 1985 og ca. 1 % ved udgangen af dette tiår.
The Commission believes that the figure should be raised to 0.7% by 1985 and to approximately 1% by the end of the decade.
Med en sådan indsats vil man på relativt kort sigt kunne forbedre virksomhedernes internationale konkurrenceevne ved at øge den energimæssige virkningsgrad.
Within a relatively short time, investment on this scale would help firms to become more competitive on international markets by en hancing their energy efficiency.
Hermed vil det i øvrigt være muligt at åbne markeder i industrien.
It would also open up new markets for industry in general.
På længere sigt vil den belastning, som uligevægten på betalingsbalancen udgør for økonomisk vækst, blive betydeligt begrænset.
In the long term, it would significantly ease the constraints on growth which arise from balance-of-payments problems.
Disse fordele vil tilsammen kunne gøre det muligt at skabe 300 000-500 000 nye arbejdspladser i EF inden 1985, men det afhænger af, om med lemsstaternes programmer på dette område gen nemføres »samordnet« eller ej, og om de koordineres i tidsmæssig henseende.
(i) improving the financial channels and financing arrangements; (ii) reducing price uncertainty; (iii) a major effort to provide better training and information, to prevent partitioning

Energy strategy power in the Community context, by regularly publishing illustrative programmes; of the market and to decentralize decision making;
• fremskyndet tilvejebringelse af den nødvendige kapacitet til midlertidig oplagring og oparbejdning af bestrålet brændsel
(ii) the Community should adopt a new approach to the problem of supplying users in the Community with nuclear fuel as an at tempt to overcome the difficulties which it is having in implementing Chapter VI of the Euratom Treaty;
• videreudvikling af gennemførelsesbestemmelserne for sikkerhedskontrollen i medlemsstater ne
(ii) steps must be taken to speed up the in stallation of facilities for the interim storage and reprocessing of irradiated fuel;
• i øvrigt har Kommisionen peget på en række investeringer, der er af særlig interesse med hen syn til gennemførelsen af EFs energimålsætning, og som berettiger en særlig indsats fra de offentlige myndigheders side. Der bør navnlig investeres i produktion af varme til fjernvarmenet på basis af industriel spildvarme, energimæssig ud nyttelse af visse former for hus-, landbrugs- og industriaffald og omstilling fra oliefyring til kul fyring i industrien.
(iv) finally, the Commission has singled out categories of investment which are particularly important if the Community's energy targets are to be met and therefore warrant a specific effort on the part of the authorities; the list includes investment in raising heat for remote heating systems from pro cess waste heat, in extracting energy from certain types of urban, agricultural and in dustrial waste and in the conversion of oilfired industrial boilers to coal.
• en øget fællesskabsindsats inden for F & U, der med hensyn til kernefission allerede næsten udelukkende er koncentreret om sikkerhed, sundhedsbeskyttelse, sikkerhedskontrol samt forvaltning og oplagring af radioaktivt affald. Kommissionen har til hensigt navnlig at sætte ind på sidstnævnte område og udnytte forskningsresultaterne gennem samarbejde med andre store industrilande, såsom USA og Japan • et større bidrag fra EF til den vigtige opgave, der består i at sikre en objektiv information af offentligheden om alle aspekter i forbindelse med kernekraft.
(iv) the rules for the application of the Euratom safeguards system by the Member States must be finalized; (v) there must be more Community R & D; this, where nuclear fission is concerned, already concentrates almost exclusively on health and safety, safeguards, and the man agement and storage of radioactive wastes; the Commission intends to step up its efforts in the last-mentioned of these fields in par ticular and to capitalize on it by cooperating with other leading industrialized countries such as the United States and Japan; (vi) the Community must make a greater contribution towards the essential task of supplying the public with objective information on all facets of nuclear energy.
Ved samme vægt er dets brændværdi kun 50-75% af oliens.
Coal in the Community energy strategy
I sin meddelelse om nuklear energi er indrer Kommissionen om det bidrag, denne energikilde allerede yder, og senere vil kunne yde til at øge EFs energiforsyningssikkerhed.
In its communication on nuclear energy the Commission recalled the contribution which the atom can make, and is already making, to the security of the Com munity's energy supplies.
Den understreger også de konkurrencemæssige ulemper for de energitunge industrigrene i de lande, der går imod indførelse af kernekraft, eller som kun vil indføre den i begrænset omfang.
It also stressed that the major energy-consuming industries in countries which reject the nuclear option or give it only limited acceptance would be at a competitive disadvantage.
Kilowatt-prisen for olie ligger faktisk tre gange højere end kilowatt-prisen for kernekraft, medens kilowatt-prisen for kul ligger midt mellem de to (3090% dyrere end kernekraft).
After all, each oilfired kilowatt-hour is three times as expensive as its nuclear equivalent, with electricity from coal-fired stations occupying the mid dle ground (30 to 90% more expensive than nuclear electricity).
Desuden kan en udbygning af kernekraften i langt højere grad end kul og olie give EF økonomiske fordele.
Another point is that the development of nuclear energy is based far more on the concept of 'value added' in the Community than is oil or coal.
Med hensyn til kernekraft er investeringsomkostningerne ganske vist høje, men brændstof priserne er lave.
Although there is no denying that the capital cost of nuclear energy is high, its fuel costs are low.
Med hensyn til elektricitet på basis af kul eller olie fordeler energiproduktionsomkostningerne sig med en tredjedel til investeringer og to tredjedele til brændstof, ved elektricitet på basis af kernekraft er forholdet omvendt.
Whereas investment accounts for one third of the price of electricity generated by coal or oilfired plant, and fuel for the other two thirds, the figures are reversed in the case of nuclear electricity.
Endvidere indebærer kernekraft ikke ubetydelige fordele for beskæftigelsen (en betydelig økonomisk fordel i Europa) og betalingsbalancen (lavere udgifter til importeret brændstof)-
Over and above that, nuclear power brings considerable benefits both in terms of jobs—with high value-added in Europe—and for the balance of pay ments, because of the lower costs of im ported fuel.
Kommissionen undersøger derfor, hvilke foranstaltninger der kan gennemføres med henblik på at løse de vigtigste problemer, der hæmmer ef terspørgslen, og sikrer en økonomisk og stabil forsyning.
Despite the obvious need, coal consumption has not increased since the 1973 crisis.
• En øget indsats fra Kommissionens side med hensyn til analyse af økonomiske aspekter ved kernekraft, som skal placeres i en fællesskabssammenhæng (regelmæssig offentliggørelse af vejledende programmer)
This lack of progress is due partly to the in trinsic nature of coal itself—weight for weight its calorific value is only 50 to 75% that of oil—and partly to the uncertainty about future price developments, the security of supplies and the role which coal will play in the energy policies of the Member States.
Forbedring af perspektiverne for anvendelse af kul
Consequently, the Commission feels that Community action should be along the following lines:
• en ny fremgangsmåde for EF i spørgsmål vedrørende forsyning af Fællesskabets brugere med nukleart brændstof i et forsøg på at løse
(i) the Commission should step up its ef forts to analyse the economics of nuclear
• at skabe prisgennemsigtighed, således at der opnås bedre kendskab til de nuværende pristendenser i EF
Enhancing the prospects for growth in coal use
• at understrege betydningen af forskning, ud vikling og demonstration for at skabe bedre ud sigter for anvendelse af kul.
(i) to improve coal price transparency in order to make it easier to understand the current price trends in the Community; (ii) to call on the Council to approve two draft recommendations aiming at encouraging investment in coal-fired equipment in general industry on the one hand and in public buildings and district heating systems on the other;
Med henblik herpå vil den undersøge mulighederne for at få afsat midler på Fællesskabets almindelige budget og ikke længere blot på EKSF-budgettet.
(iii) to stress the vital role which R & D and demonstration projects can play in widening the scope for coal use; with this in mind, it will look into ways of releasing funds from the Community's general budget and not just from the ECSC budget.
mellem disse og Fællesskabet.
The leading producers in the industrialized world will remain the main source of Community coal imports.
Med henblik på at hjælpe med til at forbedre den almindelige for ståelse af markedstendenser og mindske risikoen for unødvendig markedsspænding på tidspunkter med faktiske eller truende forsyningsmangler an ser Kommissionen det for ønskeligt, at europæiske virksomheder, som er involveret i kulforsyning, træffer passende foranstaltninger (f.eks. gennem oprettelse af en faglig sammenslutning) med henblik på regelmæssig udveksling af information om kortsigtede markedsudviklinger og langsigtede markedsudviklinger og langsigtede perspektiver, sansynlige problemer og mulige løsninger.
Discussions on the problems which might hamper the development of the international coal trade should therefore be come a major item on the agenda at the regular consultations between those countries and the Community. In order to help im prove the general perception of market trends and to reduce the risk of unnecessary market tension in times of real or potential scarcity, the Commission feels that European coal suppliers should make appropriate arrangements (for example, establish a trade association) to hold regular exchanges of in formation about short-term market develop ments and the longer-term prospects, and about likely problems and possible solutions to them.
Problemer og perspektiver for Fællesskabets kulindustri
Problems and prospects of the Community's coal industry
I lyset af Fællesskabets voksende afhængighed af kulforsyninger fra tredjelande finder Kommissionen desuden, at det er nødvendigt i samråd med medlemsstaterne at undersøge den eksisterende lagerpolitik og metoder til afhjælpning af en alvorlig knaphed på kul.
It also feels that, given the Community's growing dependence on external supplies of coal, it is time to join the Member States in examining present stocks policy and the pro cedures for handling any serious coal short age.
Fællesskabets forsyning med naturgas
The Community's natural gas supplies 1.2.12.
For øjeblikket er 50-60 mio t (20-25%) af kulproduktionen i Fællesskabet rentable, 140150 mio t (60-65%) ikke rentable med de nuværende markedsvilkår, og 40 mio t (15%) langt fra konkurrencedygtige.
Today between 50 and 60 million tonnes (20 to 25%) of the Community's coal production capacity is profitable, between 140 and 150 million tonnes (60 to 65%) is unprofitable under current market conditions and 40 million tonnes (15%) is absolutely uncompetitive.
En sund EF-industri er både i forbrugernes og de pågældende arbejderes interesse.
A healthy Community industry is in the interests of consumers and mineworkers alike.
Der kan skabes bedre muligheder for kul industrien ved yderligere modernisering og rationalisering, ved efterhånden at lukke de miner, der er økonomisk urentable, og ved at oparbejde ny rentabel produktionskapacitet. Med dette for mål har Kommissionen til hensigt fortsat at yde den EF-støtte, der er mulighed for, til moderniserings- og rationaliseringsformål.
The situation of the coal industry could be improved by further modernization, by gradually closing down pits that are not economically viable and by opening up profitable new production capacity.
Den vil også fortsat opfylde sine forpligtelser med hensyn til omskoling af minearbejdere og rette fuld op mærksomhed mod ethvert nyt socialt problem, der måtte opstå. Industriens stilling på lang sigt kan forbedres ved at koncentrere nationale støtteforanstaltninger om fremme af strukturelle ændringer og forbedring af produktiviteten.
It will also continue to fulfil its responsibilities as regards the redeployment of mineworkers and to keep a vigilant watch for any new social problems which might arise.

Second, the negotiations between several Community countries and Algeria and the Soviet Union have culminated in new import contracts providing further evidence of the steady advance of imports from nonCommunity countries, which are ex pected to take their share from its present 28% of all the Community's supplies to about 36% in 1985 and beyond 45% by 1990.

• Fremme af yderligere prospektering efter na turgas med henblik på forøgelse af de kendte reserver og mulighederne for yderligere produktion inden for EF, under hensyntagen til udviklingen på lang sigt
Once further studies have been undertaken, with the cooperation of the Member States, the Commission will send the Council specific proposals concerning the measures needed to enhance the security of the Com munity's natural gas supplies.
Forbindelserne mellem Fællesskabet og USA af Kommissionens formand Gaston Thorn i hans tale til Europa-Parlamentet2), at der i be gyndelsen af februar fandt konsultationer sted på højt plan mellem Kommissionen og de amerikanske myndigheder.
The Community and the United States suits. As regards agriculture, the very foundations of the common agricultural policy are being questioned, with the American Ad ministration systematically challenging the export refund machinery.
Forbindelserne mellem Fællesskabet og USA prægedes i 1981 hovedsagelig af de vanskeligheder, som det høje amerikanske renteniveau skaber for Europa økonomisk og valutamæssigt.
The constraints placed on economic and monetary policy in Europe by the high level of interest rates in the United States were the determining factor in relations between the Community and the United States in 1981.
Hertil er der ved årets udgang kommet nye årsager til spænding hovedsagelig i forbindelse med stål og den fælles landbrugspolitik.
In addition, there were further sources of tension at the end of the year in volving steel and the common agricultural policy.
