Planen er centreret omkring en række områder af særlig betydning for SMV'er som f.eks. almen og faglig uddannelse og arbejdspladsen, finansieringsmuligheder og adgang til innovation samt offentlig styring. SMV'erne udgør mere end 99 % af samtli­ge europæiske virksomheder, og foranstaltningerne i hand­lingsplanen vil derfor også medvirke til at styrke den euro­pæiske økonomis konkurrenceevne som helhed.
The plan focuses on certain areas that are particularly important for SMEs, such as education, training and the workplace, access to finance and innovation, and public administration.
Forud for disse tiltag ligger et grundigt og veltilrettelagt forarbejde. Hensigten har været at finde frem til de inter­ventionsområder, hvor Kommissionen vil kunne bidrage til udviklingen og styrke handelssektorens konkurrenceevne.
Readers of Euroinfo will no doubt be interested in the back­ground to this action, which has been conducted painsta­kingly with a view to identifying the various areas in which the Commission can promote the development and compe­titiveness of the commercial sector while taking account of the objectives of the European Union - in particular the maintenance and development of employment, the quality of life and economic and social cohesion.
Det skal ske inden for rammerne af Den Europæiske Unions målsætninger om bl.a. at bevare arbejdspladser og skabe nye job, sikre livskvaliteten og skabe større økonomisk og social samhørighed.
The Commission adopted the White Paper on 27 January 1999 asa followup to the Green Paper on Commerce adop­ted on 20 November 1996, which had in turn been a followup to a major action set out in the Commission Communication of 11 March 1991 entitled 'Towards a single market In distributive trade'.
Kommissionen vedtog hvidbogen den 27. januar 1999 i for­længelse af grønbogen om handel, der blev vedtaget den 20. november 1996.
Mr Christos Papoutsis, the Commissioner responsible for business policy, stressed that although much has already been achieved, the harder part was yet to come.
Og grønbogen var igen et led i et vig­tigt tiltag fra Kommissionens meddelelse af 11. marts 1991 med titlen »På vej mod et enhedsmarked inden for distribu­tion«.
At the Council meeting of the Ministers for Industry, he said that we must now put into practice what we have undertaken to do in the action plan by making all the necessary resources available.
Hvidbogen er blevet drøftet af de faglige organisationer i handelssektoren, der forholdt sig meget positivt til den.
The Commission and the Member States must also discuss how to agree on performance indicators to be used to assess progress on improving the business environ­ment.
Den er også blevet drøftet i et udvalg under Europa­Parlamentet og af Det Økonomiske og Sociale Udvalg, som tilsluttede sig
The establishment of these indicators should help to improve transparency and promote better services for busi­nesses and improved performance from public administra­tions, in line with one of the key recommendations of the BEST Task Force.
Christos Papoutsis, som er kommissær med ansvar for erhvervspolitik, understregede på rådsmødet, at der ganske vist var sket fremskridt, men at den vanskeligste del af arbejdet stadig lå forude.
The action plan contains a timetable for the various activi­ties, but leaves the Member States some flexibility as regards the precise form the measures will take. This is in
Han udtalte følgende: »Nu skal vi i gang med det arbejde, vi har forpligtet os til i handlings­planen, og stille de midler til rådighed, der er brug for.
The White Paper has been discussed and warmly welcomed by the trade organisations.
Kommissionen og medlemsstaterne må sætte sig sammen og nå til enighed om, hvilke indikatorer der skal bruges til at måle, hvor langt man er nået med at forbedre ehvervsli­vets vilkår.
It has also been discussed by a European Parliament committee and the Economic and Social Committee, which supported the Commission's pro­posals.
Foranstaltningerne i hvidbogen ligger primært inden for de overordnede rammer for erhvervspolitikken. Formålet er at skabe en sammenhængende strategi, der kan stimulere han delssektoren i de kommende år.
All the activities provided for in the White Paper come main­ly under the general heading of business policy and are aimed at establishing a consistent strategy for promoting the sector in coming years.
— tilskyndelse til europæisering og internationalisering.
SMEs are particularly hard hit by late payment.
De er mere sårbare over for udsving i deres likviditet og ofte afhængige af et begrænset antal kunder. De er ofte leverandører til store virksomheder, der er mere kendt for ikke at betale til tiden end de mindre kunder.
They are more vulnerable to variations in cash flow, they often rely on a limited number of customers, and they are frequently suppliers of large firms who are known to delay payments to a far greater extent than smaller customers do.
En britisk undersøgelse viser, at SMV'erne har dobbelt så meget til gode hos de store virksomheder, som de selv skylder.
A British sur­vey shows that SMEs are owed twice as much trade credit as they themselves owe to larger businesses.
Resultatet er, at SMV'erne — uanset om de vil det eller ej — reelt yder de store virksomheder rente frie lån.
The balance is an interest free loan, which SMEs grant ­ or rather are forced to grant ­ to larger businesses.
Handelssektorens konkurrenceevne skal styrkes gennem en række målrettede tiltag, der er nært knyttet til hinanden. Handelssektoren har derfor brug for en sammenhængende strategi, der bygger på velkoordinerede tiltag.
— improving commercial policy instruments; — improving the administrative, legislative and financial environment; — strengthening competitiveness and promoting entrepre­neurship; — encouraging a European and international approach.
Når vi ønsker at fremme handelsvirksomhedernes udvikling og hjælpe dem til at blive mere konkurrencedygtige og effektive, er der tale om ambitiøse mål.
The competitiveness of the commercial sector will be pro­moted by means of targeted but closely interdependent activities, and this is why the commercial sector needs a consistent strategy based on a set of coordinated activities.
Med Rådets accept ved vi imidlertid nu, at vi i hvidbogen har et solidt grundlag, som vi kan bruge til at forbedre konkurrenceevnen i denne vigtige sektor.
Promoting the development of commercial businesses and helping them become more competitive and efficient are ambitious aims, but now, with the Council's approval, we know that the White Paper provides us with a solid founda­tion on which to base our work on improving the competi­tiveness of this important sector.
Forskelle i betalingspraksis udgør på nuværende tidspunkt en alvorlig hindring for den frie udveksling af varer og tjenester.
There is at present a gap between the free circulation of goods and services on the one hand and the timely receipt of the corresponding payments on the other.
Dette problem bekræftes i en undersøgelse, der viser, at 21 % af samtlige virksomheder ville eksportere mere, hvis betalingsfristerne var kortere.
The existence of this gap is confirmed by a survey according to which 21 % of businesses would export more if payment delays were shorter.
Det afslører, at det indre marked ikke fungerer tilfredsstillende, hvilket Kommissionen ikke længere kan lukke øjnene for.
This indicates a serious malfunctioning of the inter­nal market which the Commission was no longer prepared to tolerate.
Formålet med Kommissionens forslag er at afhjælpe dette forhold og til byde sælgere og serviceudbydere en række hjælpemidler, der gør det muligt for dem at få deres penge hjem til tiden.
The Commission's proposal is designed to reme­dy the situation and to ensure that the sellers of goods and the providers of services will have a number of instruments at their disposal which permit them to obtain payment on time.
Eftersom problemet er nært knyttet til den frie udveksling af varer og tjenester, bygger direktivet på EF-traktatens artikel 95 (den tidligere artikel 100 A).
Due to the close link with the free circulation of goods and services, the directive is based on Article 95 (ex­100a) of the EC Treaty.
Ret til at kræve morarenter
INFO R Μ Α Τ Ι O N
Hermed er vejen banet for, at den fælles holdning kan vedtages for melt i slutningen af juni.
The main provisions deal with the consequences of late pay­ment.
Europa-Parlamentet vil herefter få forelagt forslaget til andenbehandling i efteråret, hvorefter direktivet vil kunne vedtages endeligt til næste forår.
In particular, the draft directive introduces a statuto­ry right to interest, which should be sufficiently high to com­pensate the creditor for the loss incurred.
Kommissionen havde som udgangspunkt foreslået en referencesats svarende til Den Europæiske Centralbanks udbudsrente + en margin på 8 %, hvilket ville have bragt den samlede rente op på 10,5 %.
The Commission originally proposed a level composed of the European Central Bank's rate for refinancing operations plus 8 per­centage points, which would have resulted in a level of 10.5 %.
De fleste med lemsstater gik dog ind for en margin på 6 %, hvilket betyder, at kreditorer herefter kan opkræve 8,5 % i morarente på forfaldne fordringer.
However, a majority of Member States favoured a mar­gin of 6 percentage points so that creditors will henceforth be able to claim 8.5 % interest on arrears.
Det må betragtes som et absolut minimum, i betragtning af at små virksomheder som hovedregel betaler 12-15 % i rente på deres kassekredit.
This should be considered an absolute minimum given that small enter­prises still pay 12 to 15 % interest on their overdraft credit.
Renterne påløber, når der er gået 30 kalenderdage efter fakturaens modtagelse, medmindre andet er fastsat i kontrakten.
At its meeting of 29 April 1999, the Council reached a poli­tical agreement on the common position concerning the directive combating late payment in commercial transac­tions.
Det er ikke nødvendigt at sende rykkerskrivelser for at kræve morarenter.
This paves the way for a formal adoption of the com­mon position at the end of June.
Manglende betaling betragtes automatisk som en misligholdelse af kontrakten og kan derfor uden videre sanktioneres.
The European Parliament will then consider the text in the autumn and the final adop­tion of the directive could take place in the spring of 2000.
Baggrunden for Kommissionens forslag er, at den har konstateret, at kun et fåtal af medlemsstaterne har fulgt Kommissionens henstilling fra 1995.
The Commission had proposed this directive because it had found that most of the Member States had failed to heed its recommendation of 1995.
Der er derfor stadig store problemer med, at betalingsfristerne overskrides, og kreditorerne er fortsat meget svagt stillet over for debitorerne.
Thus, there had not been any reduction of payment delays nor any improvement of the position of creditors vis­à­vis their debtors.
Kommissionen har derfor fundet det nødvendigt at fremsætte et direktivforslag for at udvirke en væsentlig og holdbar forbedring af situationen.
The Commission therefore felt it was necessary to propose a directive in order to achieve a substantial and lasting improvement in the situation.
Europa-Parlamentet støttede forslaget og skærpede reglerne på visse punkter.
The European Parliament supported this pro­posal and reinforced a number of its provisions.
Resultatet blev Kommissionens ændrede forslag fra oktober 1998 (KOM(1998) 615, endelig udg.).
This was reflected in the Commission's amended proposal of October 1998 (Document COM(98) 615 final).
Den økonomiske baggrund for Kommissionens forslag er, at én ud af fire tilfælde af misligholdelse af kontrakter skyldes, at betalingsfristerne overskrides.
No remin­der will be necessary in order to collect interest on arrears since late payment constitutes in itself a breach of contract that should be automatically sanctioned.
Det problem fører til tab af 450 000 arbejdspladser hvert år og er dermed medvirkende til den høje arbejdsløshed i Europa. Udestående fordringer
However, if they choose to do so, they will have to prevent the parties from exceeding this delay, i.e. it will take precedence over contractual payment periods.
For visse kontrakttyper kan medlemsstaterne vedtage, at der først påløber morarenter efter 60 dage i stedet for 30.
Even if creditors may not have to use these in a majo­rity of cases, their availability and efficiency will determine whether the debtor resorts to delaying tactics or pays on time.
Når den løsning vælges, skal de dog samtidig forhindre parterne i at aftale længere frister.
The economic rationale behind the Commission's proposal lies in the fact that one out of four insolvencies is due to late payment.
Det sikres ved, at den frist, medlemsstaterne har fastlagt, tilsidesætter de betalingsfrister, der er fastsat i kontrakten.
In addition, receivables worth EUR 23 600 mil­lion are lost every year through the insolvencies caused by late payment.
Fordelen for medlemsstaterne er, at man så kan afskaffe de lange betalingsfrister, der er almindelige i visse brancher, bl.a. inden for engroshandelen, hvor de store supermarkedskæder forsøger at gennemtvinge betalingsfrister på 90-150 dage over for deres mindre leverandører.
This explains why the Community had to act in order to prevent the European economies from incurring these losses any longer.
Det kan på den baggrund konkluderes, at en effektiv EU­strategi skal baseres på øget viden. Det kræver velkoordine­rede samarbejdsrammer, der vil kunne anspore virksomhe­der, offentlige myndigheder og andre involverede parter til at udnytte eksisterende oplysninger bedre, erhverve og opbygge knowhow, udvikle nye processer og lære af den bedste praksis.
This analysis and the working party's conclusions and recommendations are regarded as a valuable foundation on which to base future work by indus­try, the Community and the Member States in this sector.
Debitorernes villighed til at betale afhænger i høj grad af, om der er mulighed for at inkassere pengene hurtigt.
provisions permitting speedy recovery.
Uden effek­tive metoder vil det gå ud over navnlig de små virksomhe­der, som ofte er ude af stand til at inkassere deres udes­tående fordringer gennem langvarige retsprocedurer, sim­pelthen fordi omkostningerne er større end det beløb, de har til gode.
Any lack of efficient implementing procedures would particularly harm small enterprises who are often unable to pursue their claims through lengthy court proceedings simply because the cost of these proceedings exceed the value of their claim.
Rådet har derfor lagt vægt på, at direktivfor­slaget skulle indeholde en bestemmelse om inkassoprocedu­rer for ubestridt gæld. Det vil pålægge medlemsstaterne at sikre, at kreditoren kan opnå en fuldbyrdelsesordre inden for 90 kaldenderdage.
This is why the Council agreed that the draft directive should contain a provision for recovery procedures for unchallenged claims that obliges Member States to ensure that the creditor can obtain an enforceable title within a period of 90 calendar days.
Denne regel vil forbedre kreditorer­nes muligheder for at indstævne debitorer over hele EU og få inddrevet deres fordringer både hurtigt og effektivt.
This provision will considerably improve the creditor's ability to pursue the debtor throughout the Community and to collect the receivables with speed and efficiency.
KOMMISSIONEN GØR NYT FREMS­TØD FOR AT SKABE JOB I TURI­STSEKTOREN
NEW COMMISSION ACTION GIVING FRESH IMPETUS TO THE TOURISM SECTOR AS A CREATOR OF JOBS
Kommissionens reaktion på arbejdsgruppens rapport skal ses som et positivt udspil til erhvervslivet om anerkendelse af turismens centrale rolle for skabelsen af nye arbejdspladser.
The third and fourth chapters concentrate on the main ele­ments that could improve the contribution of tourism to Europe's growth and employment strategy, particularly in specific areas of activity that could be better exploited by facilitating access to the various Community programmes and initiatives, many of which make a substantial contribu­tion to improving competitiveness in tourism.
Det er nu op til Rådet at give turistsektoren den politiske anerkendelse og få fastlagt bedre fællesskabsrammer for at øge kvaliteten og konkurrenceevnen inden for det euro­pæiske turisterhverv.
Building on past experience and the evaluation of previous action, the fifth chapter highlights the need for a balanced approach that is compatible with the resources available and able to guarantee sound and efficient financial mana­gement centred on the development of effective coopera­tion with the Member States and the other interested par­ties.
Meddelelsen er udgivet på samtlige officielle EU­sprog.
In its final remarks, the Commission stresses the relevance of the working party's conclusions and the need for a better Community-level framework to increase the effectiveness of Community activities in the field of tourism.
Bedre koordinering, effektivt samarbejde og øget synergi på alle niveauer for at udnytte turismens enorme potentiale for jobskabelse i Europa — det er de mål, Kommissionen har opstillet i en meddelelse, der blev vedtaget den 28. april 1998. EU­kommissær Papoutsis fremlagde dokumentet for Rådet (Industri) på et møde i Luxembourg den følgende dag.
Improved coordination, more effective cooperation and greater synergy at all levels in exploiting the enormous potential of tourism as a creator of jobs In Europe are the aims set out by the Commission in its communication adopted on 28 April and presented the fol­lowing day by Mr Papoutsis at the Council meeting of the Ministers for Industry in Luxembourg.
I denne meddelelse redegør Kommissionen for sin holdning til opfølgningen af den rapport, der er udarbejdet af Arbejdsgruppen på Højt Plan vedrørende Turisme og Beskæftigelse (oktober 1998) under ledelse af dr. Ralf Corsten.
In this communica­tion, the Commission describes its position regarding the followup to the report of the high-level working party on tourism and employment (October 1998), which was chaired by Dr Ralf Corsten.
Kommissionen udtrykte tilfredshed med de resultater, arbejdsgruppen er nået frem til. Gruppen peger bl.a. på, at der ud over de nuværende 9 millioner beskæftigede i turi­stsektoren med den rigtige udviklingspolitik og effektive initiativer vil kunne skabes 2,2­3,3 millioner nye arbejds­pladser inden for det kommende tiår.
In its communication, the Commission welcomes the results of the high-level working party, according to which an appropriate development policy and effective initiatives could, by the end of the next decade, facilitate the creation of between 2.2 million and 3.3 million jobs in addition to the 9 million already existing in the tourist sector.
For at det kan blive en realitet, skal der skabes et mere gunstigt investeringsmiljø og fastlægges rammer, der gør det lettere for alle parter, dvs. også arbejdsmarkedets parter, at samarbejde i retning af et fælles mål.
Achieving the higher figure would depend on the establishment of a favourable environment for investment and conditions in which all the partners, including employers and employees, could cooperate more effectively towards a common goal.
■^k M Formålet med Jev­programmet (Joint M ^L^F European Venture) er at støtte opret­V^ tnW teisen af tværnationale joint ventures mellem SMV'er i Den Europæiske Union og dermed sikre, at SMV'erne udnytter mulighederne i det indre marked bedre.
It is now up to the Council to play its part in the recognition of tourism at political level and to reach agreement on an improved Community framework for raising the quality and competitiveness of tourism in Europe.
Første kapitel i meddelelsen omhandler det forberedende arbejde og de vigtigste analyseresultater fra arbejdsgrup­pen på højt plan, der blev nedsat af Kommissionen i 1998 i samråd med medlemsstaterne.
