For at opmuntre virksomhederne til at se sig om efter nye markeder har man foretageten vis harmonisering af de nationale kvalitets- og sikkerhedsstandarder, og det er blevet lettere at byde på udbud om offentlige arbejder og indkøb i andre fællesskabslande.
To encourage businesses to look for new markets, national quality and safety standards have been more closely aligned and access to public works and supplies contracts in other Community countries improved.
Dyre toldbehandlingsprocedurer og moms på eksport er blevet afskaffet, selskabsretten er ved at blive harmoniseret, og banker og enkeltpersoner kan nu investere deres penge i den valuta og på de markeder, de ønsker, fordi restriktionerne på kapitalområdet er bortfaldet.
Costly customs clearance documents and the paying of VAT on exports have been abolished, company law is in the process of being brought more closely in line and banks and individuals are now able to invest their money in the currency and markets of their choice through the lifting on restrictions of capital.
Det blev oprettet af en lang række grunde, ikke mindst fordi man ønskede det som motor for Europas forsatte økono miske og politiske integration.
It was created for a number of reasons, not least as a motor for Europe's continued economic and political integration.
Herudover skulle det virke stimulerende på jobskabelsen, fremme investeringen i europæiske virksomheder og øge den økono miske vækst, ligesom det skulle blive til gavn for de europæiske forbrugere, efter hånden som omkostningerne og priser ne faldt.
In addition, the creation of an internal market would act as a catalyst for the creation of new jobs, for renewed investment in Europe's markets and businesses, stimulate economic growth and benefit Europe's consumers as costs and prices fell.
Mobiliteten er det indre markeds fundament.
Mobility is the cornerstone of the single market.
der i stort omfang satses på nye markeder.
transposing and enforcing the neces­sary legislation are also causing major difficulties.
Mange virksomheder siger, at det indre marked er en forudsætning for deres fremtidige succes.
Many businesses have said that the single market is funda­mental to their future success.
Det er Fællesskabets er klærede politik, at der kun kan være tale om et folkenes Europa, hvis retten til fri bevægelighed og retten til at arbejde og bo gælder for alle uden indskrænkninger.
It is the Commu­nity's declared intention that a true people's Europe can only exist when the freedom of movement and the rights to work and residence is univer­sal and unconditional.
Men helt så langt er vi ikke kommet endnu, selv om der er gjort fremskridt på en række områder, som f.eks. bopælsretten, gensidig anerkendelse af eksamensbeviser og retten til sociale sikringsydelser.
This remains only partially realized, although much progress has been made in a number of areas, such as the right of residence, the mutual recognition of qualifica­tions and access to social security benefits.
Der er endnu ikke fuldstændig enighed om helt at afskaffe kontrollen ved de indre grænser, navnlig fordi medlemsstaterne er bekymrede for følgerne heraf for den internationale ter rorisme, den illegale indvandring og narkotikahandelen. kotikahandelen.
Nevertheless the total remov­al of internal border controls remains contentious, mainly as Member States remain concerned about the implica­tions for international terrorism, illegal immigration and the drugs trade.
For det første er det indre marked stadig ved at blive opbygget, selv om det egentlig skulle have været afsluttet og fuldt udbygget den 1. januar 1993. Der er stadig huller, der skal fyldes ud.
Firstly, although the single market was at once supposedly 'completed' and 'established' on 1 January 1993, it is still in the process of being construct­ed and there are clear gaps that need filling.
For det andet er der en række problemer, der skyldes, at det endnu ikke er lykkedes de nationale regeringer at gennemføre den eksisterende fællesskabslovgivning eller at håndhæve den korrekt.
Secondly, there are a number of problems stemming from national governments' failure to either imple­ment existing Community law or to enforce it properly, resulting in bar­riers to trade continuing to stand.
For mens forbedringerne på standardiseringsområdet har gjort det meget lettere at eksportere, og der spares store udgifter til typegodkendelser og certificering, klager et stort antal virksomheder over, at procedurerne for gensidig anerken delse ikke fungerer på deres område, og hævder, at der stadig findes usynlige hindringer for handelen inden for mange sektorer.
For while the improvements in standardization have made export­ing much easier, and hefty costs have been saved fortype-approvals and certification, a large number of bus i nesses com ρ la i n that the mutual recognition procedures have not worked for them, and that 'invisible barriers to trade of this sort still exist in many areas.
I visse tilfælde forværres dette af en for krævende national lovgivning til gennemførelse af fællesskabsretten.
Sometimes this is made worse by excessive national legislation implementing Community law.
F.eks. siger mange virksomheder, at de takket være afskaffelsen af kontrollen ved grænserne har kunnet levere varer ne hurtigere, og at de har kunnet spare mange, undertiden op til 50%, af deres transportudgifter.
For instance, many firms say that the re­moval of border controls has helped them speed up the delivery of goods and cut transportation costs consider­ably, sometimes by up to 50%.
De fleste af de virksomheder, der handler over grænserne, har konstateret, at der har været mange penge at spare på grund af afskaffelsen af forskudsbetalingen af moms i forbindelse med import og afskaffelsen af udgifterne i forbindelse med toldformaliteterne, skønt det er klart, at nogle finder det administrative arbejde vanskeligt.
Most companies trading across borders have found that big savings are pos­sible through the abolition of the pre­payment of VAT on cross-border im­ports and the elimination of charges for customs formalities, although it is clear that some are finding the paper­work difficult.
Mange virksomheder har også kunnet vinde fodfæste på nye markeder, nu da de fleste offentlige arbejder og indkøb skal ud i udbud. Andre offentlige sektorer er dog stadig lukkede.
Many companies are also breaking into new markets since the opening up of public procurement contracts in works and supplies, al­though other public sectors remain closed off.
Samtidig melder visse virksomheder, at det stadig kan være tidsrøvende og i sidste ende skuffende at byde på offentlige kontrakter.
At the same time, companies report that fair competition in bidding for public contracts can still be timeconsuming and ultmately disappoint­ing.
Den tid, det tager i medlemsstaterne at gennemføre og håndhæve den nødvendige lovgivning, er også et stort problem.
Time delays in Member States
I juni 1995 lå den gennemsnitlige gennemførelsesprocent på over 92% for de 219 foranstaltninger, der var anført i Kommissionens hvidbog om det indre marked fra 1985, som var grundlaget for det indre marked.
In June 1995 the average level of implementation stood at over 92% for the 219 measures listed in the European Commission's 1 985 White Paper on the single market, from which the internal market has evolved.
På dette tidspunkt havde seks medlemsstater (Danmark, Luxembourg, Frankrig, Nederlandene, Spanien og Sverige) gennemført over 95% af direktiverne, mens tre medlemsstater (Tyskland, Grækenland og Finland) havde gennemført mindre end 90%.
At this stage six Member States (Denmark, Luxembourg, France, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden) exceeded 95%, while three Member States (Germany, Greece and Finland) had implemented less then 90%.
De områder, hvor medlemsstaterne har været langsomst til at gennemføre direktiverne, er offentlige udbud, forsikring, gensidig anerkendelse af erhvervsuddannelses- og skoleuddannelsesbeviser, bopælsret og direktiver om intellektuel og industriel ejendomsret.
Specific areas in which Member States have been slow to implement measures include public procurement, insurance, the mutual recognition of professional training and education qualifications, rights of residence and directives on intellectual and industrial property rights.
Man har længe været klar over, at det ville blive en relativt let opgave at etablere det indre marked, men at det ville blive langt sværere at få det til at fungere.
It has long been recognized that despite its complexity, setting-up the sin gle market would be a relatively easy task compared with actually running it.
Da det meste af lovgivningspakken for det indre marked bestod af direktiver, der gav medlemsstaterne betydelig fri hed til selv at bestemme, hvorledes de ville omsætte dem til national lov, er behovet for at kontrollere, om de er blevet korrekt gennemført, og om de håndhæves i praksis, nu den største udfordring for dem, der styrer det indre marked. ked.
As most of the single market legislation package took the form of directives, giving Member States considerable liberty in the way they implement them nationally, the need to ensure that these have been transposed correctly and really are being enforced is now the single biggest challenge facing those managing the single market.
Det er naturligvis fristende for de nationale myndigheder at lade være med at afskaffe nogle af disse hindringer, og det er klart, at nogle direktiver ikke er blevet korrekt gennemført, at nogle ikke er blevet fuldstændigt gennemført, og ganske få slet ikke er blevet gennemført.
It is of course tempting for national authorities to leave some of these barriers in place, and it is clear that some directives have been transposed incorrectly, others incompletely and a few not at all, creating barriers to trade contrary to the spirit of the internal market.
Opgaven med at kontrollere dette påhviler Europa-Kommissionen, for det er dens ansvar at påse, at medlemsstaterne opfylder deres forpligtelser.
The European Commission plays a policing role in this respect, for it has the responsibility of making sure that Member States fulfil their obligations.
Kommissionen er dom meren i det indre marked.
T7ie Commission acts as a referee in the single market.
Den sorger for, at banen er kridtet op og spilleklar og sikrer fair play mellem medlemsstater og virksomheder.
It assures a level playing field and fair play among Member States and firms.
Begrebet gensidig anerkendelse af produkter stammer fra Europa-Domstolens dom om den franskproducerede likør »Cassis de Dijon«.
The concept of the mutual recognition of products stems from a European Court of Justice decision regarding French-produced 'Cassis de Dijon' liqueur.
Denne dom underkendte den tyske lovgivning, der forbød salget af traditionelle produkter fra andre lande med et lavere alkoholindhold, der blev solgt under betegnelsen likør.
This overruled German legislation ban ning the sale of traditional products from other countries with a lower alcohol content calling themselves liqueurs.
Som et resultat heraf kan ethvert produkt, der er lovligt fremstillet i en medlemsstat, også i princippet sælges i enhver anden medlemsstat. Det kan ikke forbydes, blot fordi det er lidt forskelligt fra de indenlandske produkter. dukter.
As a result any product lawfully produced in one Member State can also be sold, in principle, in every other, and can not be banned simply be cause they differ slightly from national products.
Det sidste skridt, Kommissionen tager, består i at lægge sag an mod en med lemsstat ved EF-Domstolen.
The ultimate sanction is for the Commission to open proceedings against a Member State in the European Court of Justice.
Men Kommissionen foretrækker at have god kontakt med de nationale regeringer og administrationer.
However, the Commission tries to rely on good communication with national governments and civil services so that the single market can function effectively.
Hvis der er problemer, og en medlemsstat har overtrådt fælles skabsretten, måske uden sit vidende, er det bedst at løse disse problemer uden straks at gå til Domstolen.
If problems arise, and Members are found to be infringing Community law, perhaps inadvertently, then these are best sorted out without having to go to the European Court of Justice.
Domstolens magt blev styrket i Maastricht-traktaten, idet den fik beføjelse til at ¡dømme regeringerne bøder, hvis de ikke efterkommer Domstolens domme.
The Court's own powers were strengthened under the Maastricht Treaty, giving it the right to impose financial penalties on governments which fail to comply with its rulings.
Har det indre marked ikke ført til mere bureaukrati og standardisering og harmonisering af mange produkter?
Has not the single market resulted in more bureaucracy and the standardization and harmonization of many products?
I nogle år troede man, at den bedste måde at afskaffe disse handelshindringer var at harmonisere de nationale standarder til en fælles standard, man var enig om.
For some years it was believed that the best approach to eliminating these trade barriers was through harmonizing national standards into an agreed single format.
Dette viste sig ofte at være en yderst kompleks procedure i de enkelte tilfælde.
This often proved to be a highly complex procedure for those trying to agree on a common standard in any one field.
For fabrikanterne var det meget svært at forudsige resultatet af disse bestræbelser og planlægge derefter.
Manufacturers found it very difficult to predict the outcome and plan ahead.
Derfor holdt man for nogen tid siden op med at har monisere produktspecifikationer og gik over til »gensidige anerkendelser« af produkter.
This harmonization of product specifications themselves stopped some time ago, and has been replaced by the mutual recognition of products.
Dette sikrer, at erhvert produkt kan sælges på de europæiske markeder, hvis det bare opfylder en række fælles væsentlige minimumskrav.
This ensures that any product can be sold on Europe's markets provided it meets these minimal common 'essential requirements'.
Nej, tværtimod.
In fact the exact opposite has happened.
Et virkeligt fælles marked kan ikke eksistere med vidt forskellige standarder.
A true single market cannot exist with widely differing standards in place.
De virker nemlig som tekniske handelshindringer og kan bruges af regeringerne til protektionistiske formål, dvs. til at beskytte deres egne virksomheder mod konkurrence udefra.
They act as technical barriers to trade, and can be used by governments for protectionist purposes, sheltering domestic companies from out side competition.
Samtidig er det dyrt og tidsrøvende for fabrikanterne at tilpasse varerne til de forskellige nationale markeder. Selv om der som metider kun var tale om mindre tilpasninger, var det vanskeligt at opnå stor driftsfordele.
At the same time, gearing products for national markets is expensive and timeconsuming for manufacturers, and although some times this was only a question of finetuning, ¡t makes economies of scale very difficult to achieve.
De nationale standarder bidrog således til, at de europæiske industrier blev udkonkurreret af uden landske konkurrenter, og de fungerede som skjulte tekniske handelshindringer.
National standards thus contributed to the steady undercutting of Europe's industries by foreign competitors, as well as forming invisible barriers to trade.
I 1994 foreslog Europa-Kommissionen 13 foranstaltninger vedrørende industriprodukter, specifikt med hensyn til bruger- og forbrugersikkerhed.
In 1994 the European Commission proposed 13 measures concerning industrial products on such is sues as safety of users and consumers.
I 325 af disse tilfælde greb Kommissionen ind og foreslog forenkling eller mindre omfattende foranstaltninger. ninger.
In 325 of these instances the Commission intervened in order to suggest simplification or less onerous measures.
Indførelsen af fælles minimumsstandarder for alle produkters sikkerhed, kvalitet og hygiejne er et andet eksempel.
The creation of common minimum standards for all products in terms of safety, quality or hygiene, is another.
Der har gået mange EU-skrækhistorier om harmonisering og standardisering.
Sections of the British press in particular have over the years warned their readers about the prospect of 'Euro-sausages', 'Eurobuses' and others.
Visse dele af ¡sær den britiske presse har i årenes løb advaret læserne om udsigten til europølser, eurobusser o.I. Historierne om EF-direk-tiver om bananers og agurkers krumning har levet hårdnakket videre i en række medlemsstater.
Stories about Community regulations on the curvature of bananas and cucumbers have proved more resilient, surfacing in a number of Member States.
Sandheden er, at de fleste af disse historier er noget vrøvl eller en misforståelse.
The truth is most of these are nonsenses, or result from misunderstandings.
De britiske og irske dobbeltdækkere skal nok overleve forhandlingerne om bus- og rutebilsikkerhed i Fællesskabet, trods gentagne rygter om at de skal afskaffes!
British and Irish double-decker buses will survive unharmed from a series of negotiations on bus and coach safety across the Community, despite repeated reports that they are to be banned!
Og kvalitetsstandarder for frugt og grøntsager sikrer ikke alene forbrugerne produkter af høj kvalitet, men gør også, at køberne kan handle pr. telefon uden nogensinde at have set varer ne.
And quality standards for fruit and vegetables ensure not just that the consumer gets a high quality product, but that buyers can deal over the phone, without even having seen the produce.
Faktisk havde de fleste medlemsstater tilsvarende standarder, før Fælles skabet fik sine. Og nogle var ligefrem strengere.
As it happens, most Member States or their industry associations had equivalent or nearly equivalent standards in place be fore the Community acted; some were even stricter.
Hovedelementerne i det indre marked var på plads i 1993, men der er stadig en række spørgsmål, Kommissionen og medlemsstaterne skal tage sig af.
The single market programme's key elements were implemented by 1993. However a number of issues still need action by the Commission and the Member States.
Hvilke dele af det indre marked mangler at blive færdiggjort? diggjort?
Which parts of the single market still need to be completed?
De vigtig ste områder, der mangler, er følgende:
Key areas where progress needs to be made include:
Fuldstændig fri bevægelighed for alle og øjeblikkelig og effektiv klageadgang for forbrugerne.
• Completing the single market for the citizen by achieving the full freedom of movement for all people and by making sure that effective redress is immediately available in terms of consumers' rights.
da det indre marked trådte i kraft i januar 1993.
Of all the financial services available, only banking sévices were fully liberalized by the single market deadline of January 1993.
Andre er nu ved at følge efter. Nu arbejdes der på at liberalisere nationale monopoler inden for telekommunikation, energidistribution, lufttransport og posttjeneste.
Others are now opening up.
I visse tilfælde som telekommunikation og luftfart er man kommet langt.
In some cases such as telecommunications and air transport, this process is already well underway.
Postvæsenet er vanskeligere, fordi det spiller en vigtig rolle i landdistrikterne i Fællesskabet.
Postal services are more delicate as they play such a key role in rural communities across the Community.
Et mere effektivt indre marked for erhvervslivet, navnlig små og mellem store virksomheder.
• Providing a more effective single market for business, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises.
Den nye momsordning bliver snart indført, så virksomhederne får mindre bureaukrati.
The new VAT regime will soon be es tablished, enabling businesses to operate in a less bureaucratic atmosphere.
Det samme gælder de nationale bestemmelser om intellektuel og industriel ejendomsret.
Company law needs to be brought closer into line so that firms can move more freely within the sin
nationale og regionale myndigheder ikke giver ulovlig støtte til deres egne erhverv og dermed overtræder fælles skabslovgivningen.
Among the most important of these powers is the right to make sure that national and regional authorities are not unfairly subsidizing domestic industries in breach of the Community's competition rules.
Hvad er Fællesskabets kompetence i konkurrencespørgsmål?
What is the Community's competence ¡n competition matters?
Hvorledes bidrager elette til at regulere det indre marked?
How does this help regulate the single market?
En fælles konkurrencepolitik er derfor afgørende for det indre marked og er en af Fællesskabets hovedopgaver. Europa-Kommissionen, som har til opgave at føre tilsyn med konkurrencen, har en bred række beføjelser, der har hjemmel i traktatens bestemmelser.
A Community-wide competition policy is therefore an essential buttress to the single market, and is one of the Community's main, and exclusive tasks.
Kommissionen kan også undersøge virksomhedsfusioner over en bestemt størrelse for at kontrollere, at der ikke opstår monopoler, samt ophæve karteller og idømme de karteller bøder, der misbruger deres dominerende stilling på markedet.
The Commission can also look into business mergers above a particular size to make sure that monopolies are not in the making, and break-up and fine cartels abusing their dominant market positions.
I 1994 forbød Europa-Kommissionen tre store europæiske karteller, som havde indgået hemmelige aftaler om prisfastsættelse eller om en kunstig opdeling af markedet i Fællesskabet med det resultat, at konkurrencen reduceredes til et minimum, priserne steg, og forbrugerne intet valg havde. I et tilfælde
In 1994 the European Commission broke up and fined three major Europe-wide cartels where it discovered clandestine agreements between companies to fix prices or artificially divide the Community, the
fandt man ud af, at et stålbjælkekartel med 17 firmaer havde været i kraft siden 1984 og var drevet af Eurofer (Foreningen for De Europæiske Stålindustrier).
In one instance a steel beams cartel was found to have been operating since 1984, involving 17· companies, and implemented via Eurofer, the European steel industry as sociation.
De blev idømt bøder på i alt 104,4 mio. ECU.
Fines totalling ECU 104.4 million were imposed.
I et andet tilfælde blev 23 cementfabrikanter, otte nationale cementsammenslutninger og deres europæiske organisation idømt i alt 248 mio. ECU for at have aftalt ikke at sælge på hinandens hjemmemarkeder.
In another case 23 cement producers, eight national cement associations and their European equivalent were fined a total of ECU 248 million when they were discovered to be agreeing not to sell on each other's home markets.
Det indre marked er ikke kun for storkapitalen, selv om det med rimelighed kan hævdes, at det er erhvervslivet, der har presset på for at få det indre marked og stadig er med helt fremme i kampen for at få afskaffet handelshindringerne.
The single market is not just about big business, although it is fair to say that the business community put its weight firmly behind moves towards creating the single market, and in many cases remains at the forefront of attempts to break down the remaining barriers to trade.
Dette kan næppe overraske nogen, da erhvervslivet har meget at vinde ved fri handel. Og jo større virksomheden er, jo mere har den teoretisk set at vinde.
This is hardly surprising, given that business has much to gain from freer trade, and of course in theory, the bigger the company, the more it has to gain.
Men man må huske på, at det indre marked, således som det ser ud i dag, er baseret på fire grundlæggende friheder — fri bevægelighed for varer, tjenesteydelser, kapital og personer.
Nevertheless it is vital to appreciate that the single market as it is today rests on the pillars of four fundamental free doms — the free movement of goods, services, capital, and of people.
Selv om man i begyndelsen koncentrerede sig om kapital og arbejdskraft, er den fri bevægelighed siden blevet udstrakt til at omfatte næsten alle borgere.
Although capital and labour were initially concentrated upon, the freedom of movement has since been extended to cover nearly all citizens.
