med at tilnærme de forskellige medlemsstaters beskyttelsessituation og -niveau, så kontrollen ved grænserne kan afskaffes.
In the future, the only controls remaining in this area should be those at the production and marketing sites, regardless of the product's origin.
Kommissionen vedgår, at den ikke er uden ansvar for det forsømte på dette område.
The Commission recognizes that it is not without responsibility for the delays in this field.
D En anden lige så vanskelig sag drejer sig om »Borgernes Europa«: den frie bevægelighed for personer over grænserne.
Π The second difficult point involves the people's Europe: it is the free movement of persons at borders.
Medlemsstaterne har udvist ringe interesse for den forenkling af grænsekontrollen, der efter Kommissionens mening kun skulle være en overgangsordning frem mod den endelige afskaffelse af grænsekontrollen med udgangen af 1992.
Member States have shown little interest in simplifying border controls, something which in the Commission's view was only a temporary measure to prepare for the abolition of controls at the end of 1992.
Nødvendigheden af at bekæmpe den illegale indvandring, terrorismen og våben- og narkotikasmuglingen fremføres som argument.
The need to combat illegal immigration, terrorism, arms- and drugs-dealing are, of course, cited in this connection.
Men den nuværende, systematiske kontrol viser sig helt ineffektiv og er til stor gene for størstedelen af borgerne, selv om en politiindsats naturligvis fortsat kan være nyttig og mulig ved grænserne som alle andre steder.
However, while police action can always be useful — and will remain possible, in border areas as elsewhere — where there are legitimate grounds for suspicion, the systematic controls currently in effect have shown themselves to be both tragically ineffective and a cause of annoyance to the great majority of people.
I forlængelse af stats- og regeringschefernes vedtagelse arbejder Europa-Kommissionen fortsat for en fri bevægelighed for personer, og den støtter det mellemstatslige samarbejde i bekæmpelsen af kriminalitet.
In line with the undertakings given by the Heads of State and/or Government, the European Commission continues to plead in favour of the free movement of persons and it supports the cooperation which is developing among governments in the fight against crime.
Efter Kommissionens mening vil en styrkelse af dette samarbejde, bedre kontrol ved EF's ydre grænser og en fælles holdning til visum- og immigrationspolitik, asylret, våbenhandel osv. gøre det muligt både at afskaffe grænsekontrollen mellem medlemsstaterne og at styrke europæernes sikkerhed.
According to the Commission, the strengthening of this cooperation, along with more stringent controls at the Community's external borders and the definition of a common approach in areas such as visa policy and immigration, the right of asylum, the sale of arms, etc. will enable intra-Community border controls to be abolished while offering better protection to the people.
Kompetencen er meget spredt på disse områder, og Det Europæiske Råds beslutning sidst i 1988 om national koordination af den frie bevægelighed bør give Kommissionen mulighed for at fremme dette arbejde.
Because responsibilities in these areas are widely dispersed, the designation of national coordinators competent in the matter of free movement (decided on by the European Council at the end of 1988) should finally provide the Commission with interlocutors who can help it to make progress in the matter.
D Endelig udgør spørgsmålet om den indirekte beskatning stadig et stort problem på vejen frem mod det indre marked og den frie bevægelighed for personer.
D The third issue is the problem of indirect taxation, which has always been a formidable stumbling block on the way to the large market and the free movement of persons.
Afskaffelsen af de fysiske forhindringer og den interne grænsekontrol kan ikke gennemføres uden en afskaffelse af de afgiftsmæssige begrundelser for en sådan kontrol. Der findes store niveauforskelle mellem afgifter på varer og tjenesteydelser og omkring andre punktafgifter, der giver anledning til frygt for forvridning af samhandelen og afgiftsindkomst.
The elimination of physical barriers and controls at internal borders cannot be achieved without the abolition of the fiscal reasons for these barriers: significant differences in the levels of VAT on goods and services and in excise duties on certain products, fears about loss of trade and of tax revenue.
Derfor er det indlysende nødvendigt at tilnærme medlemsstaternes indirekte beskatning, sådan som også 30 års erfaring og en studie gennemført af økonomi- og finansministrenes personlige repræsentanter viser.
Hence the clear need, proven by 30 years of experience and by a recent study conducted by personal representatives of the economics and finance ministers, for a marked approximation of the systems of indirect taxation in the Member States.
Selv om sådanne skridt kan skabe problemer for visse medlemsstater, der måske skal ændre andre beskatningssatser for at kunne opretholde balancen mellem indtægter og udgifter, er hurtige fremskridt nødvendige for at gøre det muligt at afskaffe de indre grænser med udgangen af 1992.
In spite of the problems which this may cause for certain governments — who will have to modify the levels of some other taxes in order to maintain a balance between revenue and expenditure — rapid progress is required, in order to make possible the gradual implementation of new measures to abolish internal frontiers at the end of 1992.
De allerede opnåede resultater viser, at europæerne har al mulig interesse i at øge de menneskelige og økonomiske midler, der kan samles på denne måde.
Further developments are desirable in a range of Community policies which, though they pursue their individual objectives, also contribute to the completion and effective operation of the internal market.
D På området for forbruger­ og miljøbeskyttelse må der omkring virkeliggørelsen af det indre marked ikke herske den mindste usikkerhed.
□ Technological research and development. Community programmes such as Esprit and RACE, and intergovernmental programmes like Eureka, should help Europe to draw full advantage from the large market and to respond to the challenge of external competition.1 Results already achieved testify to this and Europeans should have every interest in increasing the volume of the human and financial resources jointly deployed.
Forbrugerne må kunne være sikre på fuld beskyttelse af deres interesser. Beskyttelseskravene for

) og for miljøet
D Energy.
□ På energiområdet er særlige liberaliseringstiltag for samhandelen nødvendige med henblik på 1992­situationen, idet europæernes samlede bestræbelser skal sigte mod at garantere forsyningssikkerheden og forbedre den europæiske industris konkurrenceevne4).
In this sector, where European countries work together to ensure security of supply and improve the competitiveness of their industry, particular trade liberalization measures are required in order to be ready for 1992.4
D På transportområdet skal liberaliseringen af den frie vareudveksling følges op af en forbedring af forbindelsesvejene.
D Transport. The liberalization of trade in the context of the large market must be complemented by improvements in European transport links.
Skabelsen af den nødvendige overordnede infrastruktur vil kunne lettes gennem nye EF­investeringer.
New Community financing could help to carry out the major infrastructure! work required.
D Det indre markeds Europa skal styrke den økonomiske og sociale sammenhæng og stimulere udviklingen af tilbagestående regioner og regioner i forfald, hvis stormarkedet skal kunne fungere godt5). Derfor er EF's strukturfonde netop blevet revideret.
D Regional development. To operate soundly, in the interest of all its constituent parts, the Community of the large market must strengthen its economic and social cohesion and must, in particular, promote the development of less­developed regions and regions in decline.5 The Community's structural Funds have recently been amended for this purpose.
Disse strukturfonde, hvis midler skal fordobles mellem 1987 og 1993, samordner ud fra en præcis prioritering deres interventioner til støtte for udviklingsprogrammer, hvis indhold og gennemførelse baseres på et partnerskab med nationale og regionale ansvarshavende.
Now allocated resources which are to double in size between 1987 and 1993, aid from the Funds will be coordinated so as to support, according to clearly defined priorities, develop­ment programmes drawn up and implemented in conjunction with national and regional authorities.
På disse to områder bidrager Den Europæiske Socialfond med en række fornyende nationalprogrammer. Det indre markeds sociale dimension skal ligeledes udvikles, således at enhver EF­borger begunstiges i overensstemmelse med EF's sociale målsætning6).
Economic and social cohesion is also dependent on a better participation of young people in the labour market and on a determined fight against long­term unemployment ­ two objectives which the European Social Fund assists by supporting a series of innovatory national programmes.

Π Omkring den økonomiske og monetære union kræver de gjorte fremskridt for kapitalbevægelser og finansielle tjenesteydelser nye tiltag på vejen frem mod den monetære union.
D Economic and monetary union. As already indicated, progress made in the area of capital movements and financial services will require new steps to be taken on the road to monetary union.
Samtidig bliver behovet for økonomisk koordination stadig større.
At the same time, the need for coordination in regard to the economy will become even more pressing.
Kommissionen ønsker at styrke EF's enhed og at stimulere væksten og beskæftigelsen, hvorfor den gennem adskillige år har forsøgt at overbevise medlemsstaterne om den interesse, de har i at samordne deres økonomiske politik bedre.
Anxious to strengthen Community cohesion and to stimulate growth and employment, the European Commission has been endeavouring for several years to convince the Member States that it is in their interest to coordinate their economic policies more effectively.
Ydermere vil en sådan samordnet økonomisk politik mærkbart øge de forventede fordele af det indre marked omkring vækst og beskæftigelse.
Remember that the right economic policy will increase perceptibly the benefits expected from the large market in terms of growth and employment.
D Hvad angår den fælles handelspolitik, vil virkeliggørelsen af det indre marked og dets stimulering af væksten rumme store fordele for såvel europæerne som for deres ydre handelspartnere, som også vil begunstiges af fjernelsen af hindringerne for vareudveksling internt i EF.
Π Common commercial policy. The completion of the internal market and the stimulus it will give to growth will be of benefit both to the Community countries and to their external trading partners, whose companies will also benefit from the elimination of barriers to trade within the Community.
Det indre marked må ikke lukke sig inde i sig selv.
The large market cannot close in on itself.
Som verdens største handelsmagt har EF stor interesse i at fremme liberaliseringen af den internationale samhandel og at respektere indgåede aftaler på dette område ').
As the world's leading trading power, the Community has every interest in promoting the freedom of international trade and in respecting agreements concluded in this regard.2A balance in mutual advantages is naturally desirable.
Det er ønskeligt med en afbalancering af de fælles fordele, og på områder, hvor der endnu ikke er indgået internationale aftaler, kan Kommissionen blive foranlediget til at kræve lignende fordele aftredjelande, som de får af det indre marked, uden at det i øvrigt skal medføre en streng overensstemmelse sektor for sektor og helt ens koncessioner.
In areas not yet covered by international agreements, the Community could therefore ask third countries for benefits comparable to what they will gain from the large market - without this implying strict reciprocity sector-by-sector or identical concessions.
Som Det Europæi­ske Råd har understreget, ønsker EF i det indre marked at handle som partner på den internationale scene.
As the European Council affirmed, the Europe of 1992 intends to fulfil its role as a partner on the international stage.
Da Europa­Kommissionen i 1985 fremlagde handlingsprogrammet for det indre marked, tydede intet på en sådan succes, en sådan dynamik og sådanne resultater, som faktisk er opnået.
In 1985, when the European Commission launched the programme to complete the large market, it was impossible to predict the success of the venture, the dynamism which it has engendered and the progress it has already made possible.
Alligevel skal man tage sig i agt for at tegne et for idyllisk billede af tingenes tilstand.
However, it is important to guard against too idyllic a view of affairs.
Som stats­ og regeringscheferne i EF understregede det på deres Europæiske Råd på Rhodos i december 1988: »Gennemførelsen af det indre marked udgør en helhed, og hævdelsen af en global samordning er en af betingelserne for succes.
The Heads of State and/or Government, meeting in the European Council in Rhodes in December 1988, emphasized that 'the achievement of the large market forms a whole and the maintenance of a global approach is one of the conditions for
EF kan ikke tillade sig at omgå disse problemer, og EF kan ikke nedskrue ambitionsniveauet ved at udvande vendingen »et område uden indre grænser«.

kun fuldt nås, hvis grænsekontrollen helt afskaffes.
The Community cannot allow itself to evade these problems.
I modsat fald — og uanset de gode grunde og undskyldninger, der måtte være — vil den frie bevægelighed altid blive afbrudt, og faktisk er den et vedtaget og helligt mål i Den Fælles Akt.
Otherwise, whatever good reasons or pretexts might be given, freedom of movement could always be interfered with, even though it is an objective solemnly approved and enshrined in the Single European Act.
En sådan situation er så meget mere utilladelig, som EF­borgerne tilskyndes til at støtte anstrengelserne for at sikre programmets succes, der sigter mod en fri bevægelighed for varer, tjenesteydelser og kapital.
Such a situation is all the less acceptable in that Community citizens are being asked for efforts to ensure the success of a programme for the free movement of goods, services and capital.
EF­borgerne bør derfor også fremover kunne drage fordel af den samme mulighed med hensyn til deres egen mobilitet ■
They should enjoy the same free movement for themselves ■

M lidt sammenlignet med de godt 2 500 milliarder ecu, som de tolv nationalbudgetter samlet er på. På trods af den ringe størrelse har EF­budgettet været genstand for voldsomme uoverensstemmelser — ikke kun mellem Europa­Pariamentet og Mini­sterrådet, men ligeledes mellem medlemsstaterne.
States. This is a very small amount in comparison with the ECU 2 500 million which is the sum of the 12 national budgets.1Despite its modest size the Community budget has been the subject of fierce controversy, not only between the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers but also between the Member States.
Forholdene er imidlertid nu blevet ændret med den reform, som Det Europæiske Råd vedtog i februar 1988 i Bruxelles, og som er blevet stadfæstet i juni 1988 gennem en række beslutninger og en overenskomst indgået mellem EF­institutionerne om følgende hovedspørgsmål:
All of that was changed, however, by the reform decided at the Brussels European Council in February 1988, which was endorsed in June 1988 by a series of decisions and an agreement between the Community institutions. The principal elements of this budgetary reform:
Π EF vil bevilge yderligere ressourcer til imødekommelse af de krav, som Den Fælles Akt, der supplerer de europæiske Traktater, stiller i forbindelse med virkeliggørelsen af det indre marked i 1992.
□ The Community has been given additional resources to enable it to meet the obligations arising from the Single Act, which supplemented the European Treaties with a view to the establishment of the large market of 1992.
Π Til gengæld indgår fastlæggelsen af de store udgiftsområder i en aftale mellem de forskellige EF­institutioner, der på den ene side sikrer høj prioritering af en sammenhængende økonomisk og social politik (en gradvis fordobling af EF's strukturfonde: Socialfonden, Regionalfonden og Landbrugsfondens Udviklings­sektor) og på den anden side sikrer overholdelse af en budgetdisciplin til effektiv styring af udgifterne gennem indførelse af en række lofter for perioden 1988­1992.
D To counterbalance this, the planning of overall expenditure is the subject of an agreement between the Community's various institutions. This endorses, on the one hand, the priority given to policies for economic and social cohesion (including the gradual doubling of the European structural Funds — social, regional and agricultural) and, on the other hand, the introduction of a system of budgetary discipline which can effectively control expenditure, notably by providing for a series of ceilings for the 1988-92 period.
D Endelig gøres finansieringen af EF mere retfærdig.
D Finally, the burden of financing the Community has been more fairly spread.
EF's finanser er naturligvis underkastet demokratisk kontrol af dels Europa­Parlamentet og dels den offentlige mening.
The finances of the European Community are, quite rightly, subject to democratic control: by the European Parliament and, through it, by public opinion.
Alle EF­borgere har ret til at vide, hvordan Fællesskabet får sine midler, hvad de bruges til, og hvordan dette besluttes.
Each Community citizen has the right to know how this money is collected, what it is spent on and what procedures are involved.
Fællesskabet har sine egne indtægter.
The Community is financed by its own resources.
De blev udvidet i 1988, men samtidig underkastet et globalt loft.
These were increased in 1988 and their future growth limited by a global ceiling.
Det Europæiske Kul­ og Stålfællesskab (EKSF), som blev oprettet ved Paris­Traktaten af 1951, har stadig sit eget budget (329 mio ecu i 1989).
The European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), founded in 1951 by the Treaty of Paris, has always had its own operational budget (ECU 329 million in 1989).
Det blev fra begyndelsen finansieret af en afgift (0,31 % i 1989) på produktionsværdien i de to sektorer.
From the beginning, it was financed by an early form of European tax, a levy (set at 0.31% in 1989) on the value of the production of coal and steel firms.
Derimod blev Det Europæiske Økonomiske Fællesskab (EØF) og Det Europæiske Atomenergifællesskab (Euratom), der oprettedes på grundlag af Rom­Traktaterne af 1957, i første omgang finansieret gennem bidrag fra medlems staterne.
In contrast, the European Economic Community (EEC) and the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom), founded by the Treaties of Rome in 1957, were financed at first by national contributions, based mainly on the gross domestic product of
1 ecu (europæisk valutaenhed) = 8,10kr. pr. medio maj 1989.

medlemsstaternes myndigheder, men som fuldt ud er Fællesskabets.
A decision to that effect was taken in 1970, making over resources which, though collected in the main by Member States, belong to the Community as of right.
I reformen fra 1988, der skal gøre finansieringen ved egne indtægter mere effektiv og mere retfærdig, skal disse indtægters størrelse respektere et globalt loft.
Since the reforms introduced in 1988 to rationalize, supplement and make fairer the system of own resources, a ceiling has been placed on their overall total.
Dette loft er således for hele virkningsperioden for beslutningen af 24. juni 1988 fastsat til 1,20 % af EF's totale bruttonationalprodukt.
A global ceiling of 1.2% of the Community's total gross national product (GNP) was set for as long as the decision of 24 June 1988 on own resources continues to apply.
Omkring betalingsbevillinger er der særligt fastsatetårligtloftpål,15%il988, 1,17 % i 1989, 1,18 % i 1990 og 1,19 %i 1991.
Applicable to payment appropriations, this financial ceiling is also broken down into intermediate annual ceilings: 1.15% in 1988, 1.17% in 1989, 1.18% in 1990, 1.19% in 1991.
Endvidere er der fastsat et globalt loft på 1,30 % af EF's totale bruttonationalprodukt for pligtige bevillinger.
In addition, a global ceiling of 1.3% of the total Community GNP is envisaged for commitment appropriations.
EF's indtægter omfatter først og fremmest:
Revenue for the Community's general budget includes:
□ Tolden på produkter, der indføres i Fællesskabet udefra.
D Customs duties on products imported from outside the Community.
Dette er en logisk følge af oprettelsen af toldunionen, afskaffelsen af tolden mellem medlemslandene og indførelsen af den fælles ydre told.
This follows logically from the abolition of customs duties between the Member States and the adoption of a common customs tariff vis-à-vis external countries.
Konsekvenserne heraf er, at importvarer indføres via den havn, lufthavn eller bane, der ligger mest hensigtsmæssig, uanset bestemmelsesland og uanset, om der er tale om færdigvarer eller forarbejdnings­varer.
Merchandise is imported throught the best­situated ports, railway depots, etc., even if it is destined for another Member State, whether in its original condition or following processing.
Men hvilket land burde i så fald have toldindtægterne?
To whom does the customs revenue from these imports rightly belong?
Manglende afklaring af dette problem og risikoen for forsøg på at dirigere indtægterne i den ene eller den anden statskasse førte til, at man tillagde Fællesskabet disse indtægter.
As the question could not be answered, it made sense to declare it common property.
Dette princip gennemførtes herefter i etaper i årene fra 1971 til 1975 for de seks oprindelige medlemslande.
This was done, in stages, by the six founding members of the Community between 1971 and 1975.
