Denne udvikling er blevet en integreret del af den politiske og økonomiske virkelighed, den øver indflydelse på erhvervslivets strategier, og den påvirker resten af verdens opfattelse af Europa.
It has become an undeniable fact of political and economic life, influencing our industrial strategies and altering the way in which Europe is perceived by the world outside.
Men spørgsmålet er, om den europæiske borger er klar over, hvordan hans eller hendes dagligdag og muligheder for per­sonlig udfoldelse er blevet ændret af dette Fællesskab, der af nogle opfattes som teknokratisk, fordi de glemmer dets filosofiske og moralske grundlag?
But are ordinary Europeans fully aware of the changes being wrought in their day-to-day lives and their prospects of per sonal fulfilment? Anyone who thinks that European integration is a purely technocratic process lias failed to appreciate its underlying philosophy and moral foundation.
Denne brochure henvender sig til den europæiske borger og forsøger at give svar på de spørgsmål, som han eller hun måtte have omkring det Fællesskab, som allerede nu er en del af vor dagligdag.
This booklet has been written for you as a European citizen in an attempt to answer some of the questions you may have about the European dimension that is now a part of everyday life.
BORGERNE OG DET INDRE MARKED
THE CITIZENS AND THE SINGLE MARKET
Efter syv års anstrengelser er det lykkedes at rydde de fleste af de endnu eksisterende økonomiske barrierer mellem medlemsstaterne af vejen. En gammel drøm er gået i opfyldelse med gennemførelsen af det indre marked — og ikke kun for industri-, handels- og bankfolk.
τ he European Community has achieved one of its most im­ portant goals after seven years' work: it has succeeded in dismantling most of the remaining economic barriers be­tween the Member States.
Også de 340 millioner forbrugere i EF får på mange måder fordel af, at grænserne forsvinder.
The completion of the single market is not just an old dream come true for industrialists, businessmen and bankers; 340 million consumers also benefit in a number of ways from the opening-up of borders.
Derfor har stats- og regeringscheferne i EF talt om et »historisk øjeblik«.
The Community's Heads of State or Government have spoken of a 'historic moment'.
Maastricht-traktaten skal gøre det muligt at komme videre i in tegrationsprocessen.
They see completion of a common market with no internal borders as one stage in the process of European unification.
Den indeholder også bestemmelserne om, hvornår Den Europæiske Valutaunion skal gennemføres, og den har skabt grund laget for et snævrere samarbejde på det udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitiske område.
The integration process should be given a further boost by the Maastricht Treaty which contains plans for European economic and monetary union and lays the foundations for closer cooperation on foreign and security policy.
Allerede grundlæggerne af EF havde sat sig det mål at sikre, at man, inden man skabte en økonomisk integration, fik en politisk union i Europa. Men for 35 år siden var det en udbredt forestilling, at toldog handelskvoter først og fremmest sku I le afskaffes.
The objective of furthering political unity as well as economic integration is one which the founding fathers set themselves at the Community's inception, 35 years ago.
I realiteten opstod der flere og flere hindringer for personers, varers, kapitals og tjenesteydelsers frie bevægelighed.
However, it was widely believed then that once customs bar­riers and quantitative trade restrictions had been eliminated, the greater part of the work would have been done.
I midten af 80'eme tog EF tilløb igen.
In actual fact, new obstacles to the free movement of people, goods, capital and services kept on springing up.
Ved udgangen af 1992 kunne de fleste af de knap 300 nødvendige retsakter vedtages.
In the mid-1980s, the Community made a fresh assault on them and by the end of 1992 most of the required legislation (almost 300 items) had been adopted.
De fire grundlæggende rettigheder i det indre marked
Fundamental freedoms in the single market
• for varer
• goods
• for tjenesteydelser
• services
Alle EF-borgere har fra starten af dette år ret til frit at rejse ind i andre medlemslande.
All EC citizens have had the right since the beginning of 1993 to travel freely to other Member States.
Varekontrollen ved EF's indre grænser og de heraf følgende lange ventetider hører nu fortiden til.
Checks on goods at the Community's internal borders and the attendant delays are now a thing of the past and checks on people are only carried out sporadically at most crossings.
Også personkontrol foretages nu kun sporadisk ved de fleste grænseovergange.
With the entry into force of the Schengen Agreement, such checks
dighedernes patruljer.
States (i.e. all the Community countries except Denmark, Ireland and the UK).
Derfor er finansministrene endelig nået til enighed om at give afkald på mængdebegrænsninger i forbindelse med private turistrejser.
no way of enforcing the old tax-free limits on goods brought in by travellers other than by having customs patrols carrying out spot checks in border areas, the finance ministers finally decided to lift restrictions on the amount of goods that could be taken across internal borders by private individuals.
Bagsiden af medaljen forudses at blive et ret stort fald i indtægterne fra skatter og afgifter. Derfor har man ind skrænket bestemmelserne om køb til personligt forbrug.
The disadvantage of this is that it will probably mean lower tax revenues, which is why the new rules apply only to goods for personal consumption. sumption.
Den største ændring for alle er den nu indførte mulighed for at købe meget billigere varer i nabolandene.
The most obvious change from which everyone will benefit was the introduction of rules enabling them to buy and take back home substantial quantities of goods sold at lower prices in neighbouring countries.
Man behøver nu ikke længere at gemme sig fortolderne, når man har været på indkøb i et andet land, og varerne skal heller ikke længere angives ved personkontrollen.
Travellers can now look customs officials straight in the eye without worrying when they return with a few purchases from abroad and they are no longer required to declare anything.
Det kan ¡sær være for delagtigt, hvis forbrugsafgifterne i et andet land er meget lavere på brændstof, tobaksvarer og alkoholholdige drikkevarer.
Travellers stand to gain most from this arrangement when there is a large difference between the consumption taxes charged on fuel, tobacco and alcohol.
Det »loft«, der ved stikprøver anvendes for, hvornår det skal bevises, at varerne er til privatforbrug, er 800 cigaretter, 90 liter vin, 110 liter øl og 10 liter spiritus.
For certain categories, therefore, travellers must provide proof that the goods are for their own personal consumption if they wish to bring back over a certain amount, e.g. 800 cigarettes, 90 litres of wine, 110 litres of beer or 10 litres of spirits.
Tager man til Danmark, må man dog indtil den 31. december 1996 kun ind føre følgende mængder: 300 cigaretter, 150 cerutter, 400 gram røg-tobak og 1,5 liter spritus.
The single market has opened up borders once and for all.
Danske statsborgere med bopæl i Danmark, der har opholdt sig under 36 timer i et andet land, må kun indføre 100 cigaretter og ingen spiritus.
The free movement of goods is a reality, making shopping in other Member States even easier.
Med det indre marked er grænserne nu endelig åbnet for fri bevægelighed for varer.
The following limits will continue to apply to travellers to Denmark until 31 December 1996: 300 cigarettes, 150 cigarillos, 400 grams tobacco, 1.5 litres spirits.
Pensioneret ved Costa Brava
Retiring to the Costa Brava
Anerkendelse af eksamensbeviser
Recognition of diplomas and degrees
KONKURRENCE KOMMER FORBRUGERNE TILGODE
COMPETITION IS GOOD NEWS FOR THE CONSUMER
Større udvalg presser priserne for postordreforretninger.
Greater choice, downward pressure on prices
Enhver EF-borger kan på ubestemt tid slå sig ned i et andet medlemsland. Og det behøver ikke være i forbindelse med et job. Pensionister og studerende skal imidlertid kunne godtgøre, at de kan klare sig økonomisk og ikke kommer til at ligge værtslandets socialforsorg til last.
Every EC citizen has the right to reside and,ifheorshe wishes, work i n another Member State for an unlimited period.
Tidligere stillede man kun krav om opholdstilladelse til borgere fra andre EF-lande, der ønskede at udøve er hvervsaktivitet.
Previously, only those in gainful employment were entitled to a residence permit.
Regeringerne har længe nægtet at anerkende faglige kvalifikationsbeviser fra andre EF-lande.
The VAT on brand new cars must be paid in the country of registration, as before.
På denne måde har princippet om fri bevægelighed været kraftigt indskrænket.
There are also special rules relating to mail-order purchases.
I stedet for at holde fast ved en fuldstændig harmonisering af de historisk betingede forskelle i ud dannelsesordningerne går EF fremover ud fra, at de enkelte landes eksamensbeviser er ligeværdige.
In both cases, governments feared too great a disruption to existing trade patterns.
Der bør kun stilles krav om ekstra uddannelse og eksamener, hvis der er en begrundelse for det, eller hvis ansøgeren ikke har er hvervserfaring fra sit eget land.
It may still be worthwhile buying a car abroad, however, because there are sometimes large differences in the pre-tax prices and because a separate roadworthiness test in the country of registration is no longer required.
Afskaffer vi formaliteterne ved de indre grænser og skaffer vi de teknisk og af giftsmæssigt betingede handelshindringer af vejen, får vi en større åbning af markederne og bedre konkurrence.
Dispensing with border formalities within the Community and removing technical and tax-related trade barriers leads to more open markets and in creased competition, which benefits the consumer, usually in terms of a greater range of goods and lower prices, provided that the Community's competition rules are strictly applied and that consumers take full advantage of the extended market.
Det kommer forbrugerne ti I gode. De får generelt fordel af et større vareudbud og lavere priser.
Fora longtime, governments refused to recognize vocational qualifications awarded in other Member States, which severely restricted freedom of movement within the Community.
Det er selvfølgelig en for udsætning, at konkurrencebestemmelserne i EF anvendes korrekt, og at forbrugerne gør brug af de mul igheder, et større marked giver.
Instead of trying to eliminate the differences be tween national training structures, for which there are often historical reasons, the Community's approach is now based on the assumption that national diplomas and degrees are all of equal worth.
Takket være gensidig anerkendelse af eksamensbeviser åbnes Europas grænser for de unge, der har lyst til at prøve lykken i et andet land.
Mutual recognition of diplomas and degrees will give young people the freedom to venture abroad to make their living.
Efterhånden må man forvente, at det økonomiske pres for at få en omfattende udligning af de indirekte skatter bliver stort nok.
One way or another, it seems likely that the economic pressures acting to reduce the gap between indirect tax rates will increase.
Visse afgiftssatser er allerede inden den 1. januar 1993 blevet sænket på grund af det indre marked.
Some rates were reduced before 1 January 1993, in an ticipation of the single market.
De på EF-plan aftalte minimumssatser har sikret, at det ikke er kommet til en alt for voldsom stigning i grænsehandelen og til tab af afgifter.
The minimum rates, agreed at Community level, ensure that the disruption to trade flows and lost tax revenues are kept within acceptable limits.
Ved handel med industrivarer opkræves omsætningsafgiften endnu i en overgangsperiode i importlandet.
For a transitional period, taxes on commercial imports will continue to be paid in the country of destination.
Tidligst i 1997 skal der ikke længere betales afgifter i importlandet af billig import, hvis regeringerne inden da har kunnet enes om en klareringsordning, således at man undgår ind tægtstab.
This will not changeuntil 1997 at the earliest, provided that the governments have agreed on a clearing system to ensure that no revenue is lost.
EF-borgerne — også pensionister — kan selv vælge, i hvilket if-land de vil slå sig ned, på betingelse af at de kan bevise, at de kan forsørge sig selv.
The basic rule is that goods which are produced legally and sold in one Member State may be sold throughout the Community without any restrictions.
Generelt gælder den regel, at et produkt, som er fremstillet i et medlemsland i overensstemmelse med reglerne, og som må markedsføres, kan sælges i hele EF uden indskrænkninger.
All Community citizens, including pensioners, have the right to live in any Member State, provided they can prove that they have the means of subsistence.
EF-traktaten gør det mul igt for medlemsstaterne at forbyde indførsler, men kun i de tilfælde, hvor ikke-økonomiske interesser som sundheds- og miljøbeskyttelse står på spil.
Under the Treaties setting up the Communities, a Member State may ban imports only if there is no other way of safeguarding vital non-economic in terests, e.g. the health of its citizens or the environment.
Det er ikke så meget lovgivningsiver som ønsket om at åbne grænserne, der f.eks. står bag den ofte kritiserede harmonisering af levnedsmiddellovgivningen.
Thus it was not so much an obsession with regulations as a desire to open up borders that lay behind the much criticized harmonization of food legislation.
Traktaten for pligter EF-Kommissionen til i sine for slag til harmonisering af lovgivningenat stille store krav. Er der af hensyn til det
The European Commission is required under the Treaties to provide for a high level of protection in its proposals for legislative
Detailspørgsmål overlades fortsat så vidt muligt til de europæiske nationale standardiseringsinstitutter.
However, to prevent people from evading VAT in the country where they consume the goods, certain goods are still subject to restrictions.
For at forhindre at grænsehandelen bliver brugt af privatpersoner til at slippe for at betale moms, der hvor varerne indføres, er der fastsat vejledende mængdeangivelser for en række forskellige
harmonization. If national regulations have to be approximated in order to make the single marketfunction properly, the Community usually lays down only the most important, general quality and safety requirements.
EF-borgerne kan til eget forbrug frit indføre:
The list below gives the quantities of restricted goods which travellers are allowed to take across internal borders, provided they are for personal consumption
Tager man til Danmark, må man dog indtil den 31. december 1996 kun indføre følgende mængder: 300 cigaretter, 150 cerutter, 400 gram røg-tobak og 1,5 liter spiritus.
The following limits will continue to apply to travellers to Denmark until 31 December 1996: 300 cigarettes, 150 cigarillos, 400 grams tobacco, 1.5 litres spirits.
Danske statsborgere med bopæl i Danmark, der har opholdt sig under 36 timer i et andet land, må kun indføre 100 cigaretter og ingen spiritus.
Danish residents who have been out of the country for less than 36 hours may import 100 cigarillos but no spirits.
Rejsende kan frit indføre følgende varemængder fra et andet EF-land (se detaljerede oplysninger i rammen).
Here are the quantities which a traveller or tourist is allowed to bring home from another Community country (see box for details).
Også pensionister og unge har nu fået denne rettighed, så de nu kan bosætte sig i et hvilket som helst EF-land.
The Community guarantees this right to young and old, irrespective of the Community country in which they wish to live.
Ved e alle former for grænseoverskridende betalinger i EF har brugeren ret til den bedst mulige serviceydelse:
'For all cross-border payments within the European Community the user should have the right to the best possible service. Specifically:
Det er målet at gøre dem lige så hurtige og pålidelige som nationale betalinger inden ØMU's tredje fase.
The objective is to achieve the same time delay and reliability as for domestic payments by Stage III of EMU.
Banksektoren har udarbejdet retningslinjer, der er knap så restriktive.
The banking sector has drawn up less restrictive guidelines.
Slut med protektionismen bortset fra få undtagelser afskaffet.
No more 'nepotism' movement of money and capital have been removed, with a few exceptions.
Også flytransport og landevejstransport på tværs af grænserne er nu blevet omfattende liberaliseret.
Air traffic and cross-border road traffic has also been liberalized.
Konkurrencens hårde vilkår rammer for fremtiden ikke kun det private erhvervsliv. Når det drejer sig om bygge-og ind købskontrakter af en vis størrelse må og så de statslige institutioner og virksomheder acceptere den frie konkurrence på det europæiske marked.
From now on, private companies will not be the only ones which have to face competition head on: public corporations and government bodies with a turnover exceeding a given limit will have to open up to European competition in their building and procurement contracts.
Den offentlige sektor er et stort marked, som tidligere næsten udelukkende var forbeholdt nationale virksomheder.
Public sector contracts constitute a significant market, which, until now, has been almost exclusively reserved for national companies.
Fri udveksling af tjenesteydelser
Freedom for the services sector
Afskaffelsen af de hidtidige hindringer for fri udveksling af tjenesteydelser betyder mindst lige så meget.
Just as much importance is attached to the elimination of the remaining obstacles to the free movement of services.
Mens banker og forsikringsselskaber tidligere kun kunneetablere sig i andre EF-lande, hvis de oprettede en filial, som var omfattet af udenlandsk lovgivning, fungerer ind registreringen i hjemlandet nu for fremtiden som en slags »EF-pas«.
In the past, banks and insurance companies could not operate in other Member States unless they had a registered office there, subject to local law.
Hindringer ne for udveksling af penge og kapital er
Now, registration in the home country acts as a kind of 'passport to Europe'.
Det indre marked fører også til en liberalisering af tjenesteydelser.
The single market also entails liberalization of the services sector: Europeans are free to take out insurance policies with companies based in other Community countries.
EF's borgere kan nu tegne kontrakter i forsikringsselskaber i andre EF-lande.
This will make for keener competition and improve services.
Med det indre marked får vi sikkerhed for høje kvalitets- og sikkerhedsnormer.
The single market will ensure high standards of quality and safety.
Den frie konkurrence tvinger ti I et større præstationsniveau og til nedbrydning af forældede økonomiskestrukturer. Således stimuleres de private investeringer, og der bliver bedre muligheder for oprettelse af nye arbejdspladser. bejdspladser.
The single market entails more than just the liberalization of trade, investment and services: free competition in creases productivity and leads to the dismantling of antiquated economic structures, thus stimulating private in vestment and helping to create jobs.
Hvis disse benytter besparelserne i den offentlige økonomi som følge af afskaffelsen af statsstøtte til at nedbringe ud landsgælden, kan bruttonationalproduktet på mellemlang sigt øges.
If, when they stop giving subsidies, governments use the money they save to pay off public debt, they could obtain a 4.5% increase in GNP in the medium term.

R oprettet i begyndelsen af 1950'erne underskrev dets tolv medlemsstater i Maastricht i midten af februar 1992 traktaten om Den Europæiske Union.
In mid-February 1992, some 40 years after the birth of the European Community in the early 1950s, the 12 Member States signed the Treaty on European Union in Maastricht.
Proceduren for ratifikation af traktaten afsluttedes først i oktober 1993, og traktaten trådte i kraft i november 1993.
It was only in October 1993 that ratification was completed, and the Treaty came into force in November 1993.
Med virkeliggørelsen af det indre marked med 345 mio. europæiske borgere i begyndelsen af 1993 blev der åbnet et nyt kapitel i Europas historie.
At the beginning of 1993 the integration process reached a new stage with the completion of the internal market for 345 million citizens.
Personer, varer, tjenesteydelser og kapital kan nu frit bevæge sig fra det ene EU-land ti I det andet.
Persons, goods, services and capital are now able to move freely within the Community, unobstructed by frontier controls.
»Europa skal igen blive sig selv, kulturelt, økonomisk og politisk . . . Hver enkelt af vore
The Treaty on European Union gives the Community new powers.
Traktaten om Den Europæiske Union giver Fæl lesskabet nye beføjelser, og den giver borgerne et såkaldt unionsborgerskab.
It provides benefits for the man in the street by introducing Union citizenship.
Europa-Parlamentet har fået flere beføjelser, og det demokratiske underskud er dermed blevet mindre.
The powers of the European Parliament are extended and the democratic deficit is reduced.
medlemsstater skal vide, at vi gennem fælles indsats, dvs. udbygningen af vor dialog og vort samarbejde, kan få nye kræfter og genfinde vores identitet.«
Each Member State must come to realize that the European area, thé web of dialogue and cooperation between us, will enable us to regain our strength and hence our identity.'
