I Kommissionens hvidbog gennemgås først baggrunden for den nuværende situation i relation til styringen af lufttrafikken i Europa og manglerne ved de nuværende ordninger; derefter beskrives et »fælles ATM-system for Europa«, og endelig redegøres der for Kommissionens mening om, hvilke institutionelle ordninger der vil være de mest hensigtsmæssige fremover.
The Committee also feels that the Green Paper's objective of achieving a fair and efficient transport pricing system can only be one of the means of achieving a common transport policy based on market-economy principles, and that it should be accompanied by arrangements to use prices to control demand and to improve supply.
ØSU er generelt enig i Kommissionens beskrivelse af manglerne i det nuværende system for lufttrafikstyring (ATM) i Europa og tilslutter sig uforbeholdent, at der er behov for at forbedre ATM-systemet for at nedbringe antallet af forsinkelser, for at øge luftfartssikkerheden og for at sikre konsistente nationale trafikstyringssystemer.
Any projected reform of transport taxes and prices must form part of an integrated strategy to set the 'right' price relationships between the different modes of transport.
Efter ØSU's opfattelse stiller situationen krav om en multinational løsning, og ØSU er enig i Kommissionens konklusion om, at Eurocontrol bør »omdannes«, så dets regeludstedende beføjelser styrkes.
At the same time, the other modes must be able to absorb without difficulty any additional burden ensuing from a transfer.
Kommissionen bør dog give mere detaljerede oplysninger om sin holdning til forskellene mellem regeludstedende og operationelle funktioner og den rolle, de respektive ansvarlige organer skal spille.
Lastly, the Green Paper should also be assessed with reference to the goals of development of the economically weaker peripheral countries, cohesion in Europe and the integration of central and east European countries.
Efter ØSU's mening bør den centrale lufttrafikregulering påhvile det »omdannede« Eurocontrol, mens alle andre operationelle tjenester leveres af de nationale myndigheder.
Because of productivity problems, these countries will not be able to share in the economic progress and growth of the European single market until their accessibility is guaranteed and their ability to sell their products is not impaired by their distance from the market.
Det er ØSU's opfattelse, at Eurocontrol's geografiske kompetenceområde bør omfatte alle europæiske lande.
Air carrier liability in case of air accidents (Rapporteur: Mr Moreland)
Kommissionens forslag om, at EU bliver medlem af det »omdannede« Eurocontrol, rejser efter ØSU's mening en række spørgsmål, der nødvendigvis må besvares.
The Committee welcomed the Commission's proposal to improve passenger compensation in the event of air accidents, by establishing a certain number of principles at Community level.
Det drejer sig f.eks. om Kommissionens rolle og mandatets indhold, stemmevægtningen mellem EU og tredjelande samt den regeludstedende kompetence i forbindelse med det militære luftrum.
It did, however, feel that the Commission's approach needed to be amended, particularly to deal with:
Inden for søtransport og transport ad indre vandveje har ØSU's indsats været præget af en række forslag, der sigter mod at forbedre udstyrets og passagerernes sikkerhed.
— legal interpretations of the words 'domicile' and 'permanent residence';
Disse forslag har fået ØSU's uforbeholdne støtte.
— possible effects of higher costs on smaller airlines;
Den store vægt, ØSU tillægger sikkerhedsaspekterne, fremgår klart af udtalelserne om »Sikkerhedsregler for passagerskibe« (ordfører: Eduardo
The Committee feels that these problems must be settled in such a way that the final regulation is able to act as a catalyst for a new, more appropriate world-wide system for the benefit of the travelling public.
ØSU har endvidere udtalt sig om en vigtig meddelelse om short sea shipping. I udtalelsen lægger ØSU vægt på, at short sea shipping skal integreres i de transeuropæiske net, at standarden i de små havne skal højnes, så de kan aflaste de store havne og hovedfærdselsårerne, at short sea shipping branchens image skal forbedres, at sektorens sociale dimension ikke må overses, at man fortsat bør støtte aktiviteterne i gruppen »Short Sea Panel« under De Maritime Industriers Forum (MIF), som ØSU deltager officielt i, og at man ligeledes bør videreføre dialogen med denne gruppe.
The Commission White Paper examines the background to the current situation in air traffic management in Europe and the shortcomings of the present arrangements, before defining a 'single ATM system for Europe' and, finally, outlining the Commission's views on the best institutional arrangements for the future.
Meddelelsen om short sea shipping, hvis konkrete resultater først vil vise sig i de kommende måneder, er blevet efterfulgt af en anden strategisk meddelelse »Mod en ny søfartsstrategi«, som ØSU også har udtalt sig om.
The Committee endorses, in general, the Commission's description of the shortcomings of the current air traffic management system in Europe and strongly supports the need for action to improve the system in the interest of reducing delays, air safety and in providing consistency of national management systems.
I udtalelsen støtter ØSU det nye initiativ fra Kommissionen, men beklager samtidig, at der siden 1989 ikke er gjort fremskridt i retning af en styrkelse af EU-skibsfartens konkurrenceevne.
The Commission does, however, need to provide more detailed information on its view of the differences between regulatory and operational functions and the role of the bodies responsible for their performance.
ØSU understreger, at følgerne af, at der ikke er truffet positive foranstaltninger, kan konstateres i den fortsatte nedgang i medlemsstaternes tonnage og i beskæftigelsen af EU-søfolk.
The Committee's view is that central flow management should be the responsibility of the 'reinvented' Eurocontrol with all other operational services being provided by national authorities.
Det er ØSU's opfattelse, at en konkurrencedygtig og effektiv skibsfartssektor er en nødvendig betingelse for EU-økonomiens overordnede konkurrence evne, ikke alene fordi økonomien er afhængig af, at industriens produkter og materialer kan transporteres ad søvejen, men også fordi hele spektret af sklbsfartsrelaterede aktiviteter bidrager til EU's økonomi som helhed.
In any event the Committee would welcome the membership of those EU Member States and other European States that are not currently members.
På denne baggrund bør der træffes foranstaltninger til at:
Indeed, the Committee believes that the jurisdiction of Eurocontrol should be comprehensive of all European countries.
— neutralisere den konkurrencemæssige fordel, som substandardoperatører, der presser omkostningerne til skibenes drift og besætninger i bund, nyder godt at, ved at der indføres sanktioner mod sådanne operatører
Finally, the Committee feels that the Commission's proposal — that the EU should be a party to the 'reinvented' Eurocontrol — raises questions that need to be answered such as 'what would be the role and mandate of the Commission?', 'what would be the voting balance of the European Union vis-à-vis other non-EU States?' and 'under which jurisdiction would military airspace fall?'
— lette de omkostningsbyrder, der pålægges EU's skibsfart (navnlig i form af skatter og sociale bidrag), og som deres konkurrenter ikke skal bære.
Work in the field of sea and inland waterway transport was dominated by a number of proposals designed to improve the safety of equipment and passengers, which the Committee supported unreservedly.
Endelig bemærker ØSU, at der på mange punkter er behov for en yderligere tydeliggørelse af Kommissionens forslag, ligesom der skal foretages en
The importance which the Committee attaches to safety has been highlighted in its opinions on the safety of passenger ships (Rapporteur: Mr Chagas), on the safety of fishing vessels (Rapporteur: Mr Chagas), and on marine equipment (Rapporteur: Mr Colombo).
Især bør Kommissionen præcist bestemme, hvilke kategorier af EU-skibsredere der skal kunne nyde godt af de foranstaltninger, den foreslår indført for at styrke konkurrenceevnen.
The Committee also adopted an opinion on the communication on short sea shipping, in which it emphasized the need to integrate short sea shipping in transEuropean networks; to upgrade the role of small and mediumsized ports to relieve congestion in large ports and main roads; to improve the image of short sea shipping as a commercially attractive alternative mode of transport; to concentrate on the social dimension of the short sea sector; and finally to continue support for and coordination with the MIF Short Sea Panel, of which the ESC is an official member.
Udvikling af jernbaner/Adgang til jernbaneinfrastrukturer (Ordfører: Giorgio Liverani)
Towards a new maritime strategy (Rapporteur: Mr Whitworth)
I sin udtalelse om Kommissionens forslag til Rådets direktiv om ændring af direktiv 91/440/EØF om udvikling af Fællesskabets jernbaner, erklærer ØSU sig ganske vist enig i, at forslaget er en logisk følge af den overordnede reformstrategi for det indre markeds transportsektor og behovet for at forbedre jernbanernes konkurrenceevne, men understreger samtidig, at det ville blive betydeligt lettere at nå de fastsatte mål, hvis medlemsstaternes omsætning til national ret af såvel de udstedte direktiver som dem, der afventer Rådets endelige vedtagelse, blev harmoniseret.
Whilst the Committee opinion endorses this new Commission initiative, it regrets the lack of progress towards enhancing the competitiveness of the EC shipping sector since 1989 and stresses that the consequence of the absence of positive measures is plain to see in the continued decline in the tonnage on Member State registers and in the employment of EC seafarers.
ØSU opfordrer Kommissionen til at søge en bredere dialog ved at høre arbejdsmarkedets parter med henblik på at vurdere, hvilken Indflydelse en hurtig vedtagelse af det ændrede direktiv ville have på beskæftigelsessituationen, og for at undgå de negative sociale følgevirkninger, der måtte opstå i kølvandet herpå, ved efter aftale med arbejdsmarkedets parter at iværksætte et støtteprogram på EU-plan.
The Committee believes that a competitive and efficient maritime transport sector is an indispensable element for the global competitiveness of the EC economy, not only because of the latter's dependence on such transport for the carriage of its industry's goods and materials, but also because of the contribution to the broader economy made by the whole range of shippingrelated activities.
I denne forbindelse opfordres Kommissionen endvidere til at fremskynde fremlæggelsen af meddelelsen om offentlig tjeneste.
Against this background steps should be taken to:
Endelig mener ØSU, at tiden kun er moden til en yderligere liberalisering af denne sektor, hvis der samtidig foretages et sammenhængende, harmoniseret politisk valg med hensyn til den overordnede reform af sektoren ud fra alle økonomiske, sociale og ledelsesmæssige aspekter.
— neutralize the competitive advantage enjoyed by lower cost substandard ship operation and manning by imposing sanctions on such operators;
Denne problemstilling er nu ¡gen aktuel, eftersom Kommissionen for nylig har udgivet en hvidbog om »A strategy for revitalising the Community's railways« (fornyet liv til de europæiske jernbaner) (ordfører: Claus-Benedict von der Decken), som ØSU vil udtale sig om i 1997.
— ensure that EC shipping operates in a free market and can compete for the carriage of cargo and passengers on equal terms;
ØSU har med stor interesse set på Kommissionens nye forslag om cabotagekørsel inden for personbefordring ad landevej og påskønner, at princippet om liberalisering af tjenesteydelser styrkes.
Finally, the Committee calls for further clarification and detail in many areas together with more precise facts and figures on which some of the assertions and arguments are based.
ØSU fremsætter en række bemærkninger til Kommissionens forslag og foreslår selv blandt andet:
operators should qualify for each of the benefits which it expects to result from its various proposals for positive measures for enhancing competitive ness.
— at det præciseres, på hvilke betingelser der kan udføres cabotage i den internationale rutekørsel, så man undgår at skabe en alt for voldsom konkurrence for den rent nationale rutekørsel, herunder bybussers rutekørsel.
In its opinion on the proposal for a Council directive amending Directive 91/440/EEC on the development of Community railways, the Economic and Social Committee, while endorsing and acknowledging its logical consistency with the overall approach to transport reform in the single market and with the need to increase the competitiveness of the rail sector, considers that harmonization among the Member States by national implementation of the directives already adopted and those still awaiting final adoption by the Council of Ministers would greatly facilitate achievement of the stated aims.
Endelig slår ØSU til lyd for, at reglerne vedrørende ansøgnings- og tilladelsesprocedurerne for cabotagekørsel afklares og harmoniseres, og at antallet af kontroldokumenter begrænses.
Moreover, the Committee calls upon the Commission to stimulate greater consultation of the social partners in order to quantify the impact on employment should the directive, thus amended, be rapidly adopted, and avoid likely negative social consequences through a Community support programme to be agreed with the social partners.
ØSU bifalder Kommissionens forslag, der sigter mod at videreføre den liberalisering af den internationale personbefordring med bus, som er indledt på EU-plan. ØSU peger dog på risikoen for, at en overdreven konkurrence som følge af liberalisering kan føre til prisfald og konkurser og dermed til øget arbejdsløshed.
Finally, the Committee believes that the time has come for further liberalization of the sector, but only if such liberalization is correlated with a consistent, harmonized political choice on the overall reform of the sector in all its aspects — economic, social and managerial.
— Det skønnes nødvendigt, at der fortsat kræves tilladelse til andre former for befordring for egen regning end den, der er defineret i forslaget, så man undgår en potentielt illoyal konkurrence med de transportvirksomheder, der udfører kørsel for fremmed regning.
Following the recent publication of the Commission White Paper on a strategy for revitalizing the Community's railways (Rapporteur: Mr von der Decken), which will be the subject of a Committee opinion in 1997, these issues are at the forefront once again.
Kommissionen opfordres til at holde sig dette for øje under vedtagelsen af det foreliggende forslag og udarbejdelsen af fremtidige tiltag inden for international personbefordring med bus.
It was with great interest that the Committee took note of the new proposal on cabotage in road passenger transport, and it welcomes the fact that the principle of the freedom to provide services has been extended.
I sit arbejde med telekommunikationsspørgsmål har ØSU primært behandlet en lang række forslag til lovgivningsforanstaltninger, der sigter mod at gennemføre den gradvise åbning af det europæiske telekommunikationsmarked, som blev indledt med Rådets direktiv 90/388, og som senere er blevet bekræftet i flere kommissionsmeddelelser og rådsresolutioner.
— that cabotage operations for special regular services should be governed by the same conditions as those for regular national services, referred to as other regular services in the proposal;
Ved flere lejligheder har ØSU understreget behovet for et EU-dækkende alment tjenesteudbud, der tager højde for udviklingen i det europæiske samfund.
— deferring the extension of cabotage operations for other regular services, so that the sector will have time to gear itself up for competition;
Dette har tilskyndet Kommissionen til at offentliggøre sin meddelelse om »Det almene tjenesteudbud for telekommunikation«, som ØSU også har udtalt sig om (ordfører: Alexander-Michael von Schwerin).
— that the proposal should give a clearer indication of the conditions under which cabotage operations for regular international services may be performed, in order to avoid an unwarranted surge in competition for regular services which are only operated nationally, including regular urban services.
I udtalelsen tilslutter ØSU sig, at begrebet alment tjenesteudbud skal udgøre en fast referenceramme for medlemsstaternes lovgivningsmæssige reformer vedrørende den fuldstændige liberalisering i den europæiske telekommunikationssektor.
Finally, the Committee calls for clarification and harmonization of the regulations governing the application procedure and granting of authorization for cabotage, and highlights the need for control documents to be kept to a minimum.
Oprettelse af et regulerende organ på europæisk plan, således som ØSU anbefalede i sin udtalelse om ONP-direktivet, skulle kunne bidrage til, at denne udvikling forløber harmonisk.
However, it points out that liberalization could result in cut-throat competition which could lead to a drop in prices, bankruptcy and hence increased unemployment.
ØSU støtter også Kommissionen i, at forbrugerne på både nationalt og europæisk plan skal inddrages mere aktivt i beslutninger om fastsættelse af kvalitetsmålsætninger og normer for samt omfanget af det almene tjeneste udbud.
— finds it necessary to retain an authorization procedure for own-account transport operations other than those defined in the proposal in order to avoid any unfair competition with carriers working for another party;
Derudover bifalder ØSU, at der oprettes et europæisk tilsynsudvalg, der skal repræsentere brugernes interesser.
— feels that some control should be maintained over the operation of additional vehicles;
Med henblik på informationssamfundets indførelse opfordres Kommissionen og medlemsstaterne til at træffe alle nødvendige foranstaltninger for at støtte ugunstigt stillede regioner, så etableringen af digitalnet kan fremskyndes i disse regioner, og de regionale skævheder inden for EU kan mindskes, således at målsætningen om at give alle borgere adgang til et omfattende udbud af almene tjenester af høj kvalitet kan opfyldes.
— points out that carriers will be hit by the fact that international occasional services will no longer be able to undertake local excursions.
På postområdet er ØSU blevet anmodet om at udtale sig om »Foranstaltninger til udvikling af Fællesskabets posttjenester« (ordfører: Johann Farn-
Lastly, the Committee is particularly aware of the importance of coach passenger safety, especially during international long-distance journeys, and urges the Commission to take this factor into account when amending the proposal and preparing future initiatives in the sphere of international carriage of passengers by road.
Samtidig slår ØSU til lyd for, at Kommissionen holder et vågent øje med de sociale følger. Det gælder ikke mindst de konsekvenser, som en øget liberalisering af posttjenesterne vil have for løn- og arbejdsvilkårene i denne sektor.
In its opinions on this subject, namely interconnection and interoperability (Rapporteur: Mr Hernandez Bataller), satellite personal communications (Rapporteur: Mr Mobbs), competitive environment in telecommunications (Rapporteur: Mr von Schwerin), and authorizations and individual licences in the field of telecommunications services (Rapporteur Mr Hernandez Bataller), the Committee has been highly attentive to the social, economic and technical implications of liberalization, while recognizing its key importance for Europe's economic modernization.
ØSU henstiller, at spørgsmålet undersøges indgående.
On several occasions, it has stressed the need for a universal service which takes account of Europe's changing society.
ØSU henstiller, at Kommissionen indleder/tager de nødvendige skridt hertil i snævert samråd med ØSU og »det paritetiske udvalg for posttjenester«.
This most certainly spurred the Commission to issue its communication on the universal service for telecommunications, which was also the subject of a Committee opinion (Rapporteur: Mr von Schwerin).
Skulle direktivets vedtagelse trække i langdrag, går ØSU ind for, at der fastsættes en frist på fire år for afviklingen af prøveforløbet, og at der foretages en midtvejsevaluering i god tid, før der træffes yderligere beslutninger.
The Committee opinion maintains that the concept of universal service must form a firm anchor for the regulatory reforms under way at national level with a view to fully liberalizing the telecommunications sector in Europe.
ØSU ønsker også at blive hørt forud for beslutningstagningen.
The Committee considers it important to put pressure on Member States to introduce the universal service as quickly as possible.
ØSU ser en risiko for øget anvendelse af »remailing«, især fra tredjelande, og støtter opretholdelsen af visse restriktioner på omdelingen af indgående tværnational post.
Coordination of this work would be furthered by the establishment of a European regulatory body, which the Committee supported in its opinion on the open network provision (ONP).
Endelig finder ØSU det påkrævet, at den teknologiske udvikling og dens konsekvenser for den universelle posttjeneste til stadighed overvåges.
The Committee supports the Commission's view that consumers at both national and Community level should be involved more closely in decisions concerning the fixing of quality targets, standards and future scope of the universal service.
Information og høring af arbejdstagerne
The aim of providing all citizens with a broad high-quality universal service will thus be furthered.
Udtalelsen, der fik massiv opbakning, er et vidnesbyrd om den konstruktive rolle, Det Økonomiske og Sociale Udvalg og de tre grupper, det er sammensat af, kan spille jævnsides med og i foregribelse af aftaler indgået af arbejdsmarkedets parter.
As far as the postal sector is concerned, the Committee was consulted on the development of Community postal services (Rapporteur: Mr Farnleitner), which, given the high stakes involved, is once again on the Council agenda.
medbestemmelseslovgivning ikke må undermineres eller omgås ved hjælp af et europæisk retsinstrument.
The Committee opinion welcomes the creation of a universal service at affordable prices for all European citizens, and expects this to lead to higher quality standards which will benefit all users, consumers and firms.
Udtalelsen anbefaler endvidere, at der hurtigst muligt vedtages en separat EU-lovramme for den europæiske forening, det europæiske andelsselskab og det europæiske gensidige selskab, og der stilles krav om, at repræsentanter for disse organisationsformer inddrages i udarbejdelsen af den europæiske juridiske ramme.
At the same time, the Committee would suggest the Commission pays constant attention to the social effects, particularly the effects of an extensive liberalization of the postal services on income and working conditions in the sector, and calls for a thorough analysis of this question.
Fri bevægelighed
The Committee trusts it will also be consulted before the decision is taken.
Der er behandlet forslag om en omfattende revision af princippet om fri bevægelighed inden for Den Europæiske Union i form af afskaffelse af personkontrollen ved de indre grænser, gensidig anerkendelse af eksamensbeviser samt udvidelse af forordning (EØF)1408/71 til også at omfatte arbejdsledige og personer på førtidspension.
As regards certain more specific issues, the Committee welcomes the scheduled separation of operational and official tasks in the postal services sector; recommends the supervision of competition by an independent authority; expresses reservations about the increased use of 'remailing', especially from third countries; and supports the retention of certain restrictions on the distribution of inward crossborder mail.
Racisme, fremmedhad og antisemitisme
Worker information and consultation
Det anser uddannelse for det vigtigste middel til at bekæmpe racistiske fordomme og fremme antiracistiske holdninger.
A consensus was achieved on the most controversial of subjects in recent years — worker information and consultation.
