Ved at afgive sin udtalelse midt i året kan ØSU også orientere Udvalget for Økonomisk Politik og Rådets Koordinationsgruppe om sit syn på økonomisk politiske spørgsmål, inden disse organer afslutter de endelige forhandlinger om det foreløbige budget for det kommende år.
Action is needed in some Member States to bring down high unemployment levels and ensure that the resurgence of inflationary expectations does not jeopardize current growth, and in other Member States to reduce substantial divergences in inflation, current-account balances and net budgetary positions.
— Den skal være vejledende for Kommissionen med hensyn til arbejdsmarkedsparternes samlede syn på økonomiske spørgsmål, når denne udarbejder sin økonomiske årsberetning.
The ESC believes that the integration of East Germany into the Community presents opportunities to investors from all member countries. German investments in the eastern parts of Germany and in the countries further to the East are bound to alleviate the discrepancy between the positive
Sædvanen tro udarbejder Sektionen for Økonomiske Finansielle og Monetære Spørgsmål samtidig en rapport om den økonomiske situation i en bestemt medlemsstat — nemlig den medlemsstat, som på tidspunktet for udtalelsens fremsættelse har formandssædet i Ministerrådet: i dette tilfælde Irland.
It should be noted, in connection with economic and social cohesion, that although two problems (regional discrepancies and the possibility of more pronounced imbalances to come) are immediately obvious, the situation is particularly critical in the outlying regions of the Community located far from the main economic and political centres; consequently, transportation costs are higher and resources are allocated wastefully.
Efter en oversigt over verdensøkonomien i 1990 understreger ØSU først, at EF nu går ind i et nyt årti med stadigt forbedrede økonomiske nøgleindikatorer.
The 1990 structural reforms highlight the need for budgetary discipline and a review of the financial prospects up to 1992.
Dette afspejler en stigende erkendelse i medlemsstaterne af den økonomiske politiks betydning for, at den økonomiske, finansielle, monetære og sociale integration kan lykkes.
New issues will also provide cause for concern, as Community solidarity with the changes in Eastern Europe will most certainly require the Community to shoulder new responsibilities.
Dernæst gøres der opmærksom på, at bestræbelserne for at gennemføre en sådan integration udfoldes i en afgørende periode i EF's udvikling: En sådan integration er den mest effektive vej fremad, hvis man ønsker, at EF igen skal spille en afgørende rolle i verdensøkonomien ved begyndelsen af det 21. århundrede.
In a field where funds were always scarce and compromise not always easy, the necessary setting of priorities once again calls for careful thought and strategic planning.
Om de vigtigste økonomiske parametre i EF's økonomi siges det i Kommissionens Økonomiske Årsberetning 1989-1990, at EF's økonomiske politik bør være i stand til at tage to vigtige udfordringer op: nemlig konsolideringen af de økonomiske vækstfaktorer og større konvergens mellem medlemsstaternes økonomiske politik og budgetpolitik, med det mål at øge stabiliteten og beskæftigelsen.
The Committee feels that completion of the economic and monetary union (EMU) is already one of the keystones of the European edifice. With this in mind, the Committee urges that the utmost commitment be given to the various aspects of the first stage of economic and monetary union, soon to enter into force.
For at realisere disse målsætninger skal der træffes effektive foranstaltninger for at afværge risikoen for, at de seneste års ugunstige økonomiske parametre fortsat gør sig gældende eller endog forværres.
The multilateral surveillance mechanism for economic policies, recently set up by the Council, is one initiative which merits special attention, given the need for sustained progress towards convergence of Member States' economic performance.
I visse medlemsstater bør man sætte ind på at reducere de høje arbejdsløshedstal for at sikre, at de fornyede inflationsforventninger ikke bringer den nuværende vækst i fare.
In the same vein, liberalization of capital movements, further steps to strengthen the Euro pean Monetary System, and development of the ecu, a key issue, are all areas requiring well-planned study so that their economic and institutional implications can be fully understood.
Man bør ligeledes i visse medlemsstater gøre en indsats for at nedbringe de markante forskelle, der fortsat gør sig gældende inden for inflation, de løbende balancer og nettosaldi på budgetterne.
In more general terms, considerable thought will have to be put into preparation for the second and third stages of EMU, particularly the establishment of an independent European Central Bank charged with the maintenance of the value of money, if significant conclusions are to be reached at the intergovernmental conference to be held under the Italian Presidency in late 1990.
Østtysklands integration i Fællesskabet frembyder efter ØSU's mening muligheder for investorer fra alle medlemsstater.
The Community employment rate seems to have settled into steady growth (1989 was the third consecutive year in which employment rose, by 1.5% on average) and this was reflected in the unemployment figures (down from 10% in 1988 to 9% in 1989).
Hvad angår tyske investeringer i de østlige dele af Tyskland og i landene længere mod øst,
The discrepancies vis-à-vis our main partners' unemployment figures, however, remain considerable (5.2% in the United States, 2.3% in Japan, and an average of just over 2.5% in the EFTA countries).
Ikke desto mindre opstår der nye problemer, som kan volde bekymringer, eftersom EF's solidaritet over for begivenhederne i Østeuropa næsten uvægerligt vil føre til, at det må påtage sig nye ansvarsområder.
With regard to the new Commission approach, the Economic and Social Committee reaffirms the validity of the Opinions on excise duties delivered in 1988 whilst accepting that adjustments will have to be made because of the present situation.
På et område, hvor ressourcerne altid har været knappe, og det altid har været vanskeligt at indgå kompromis, stiller den nødvendige prioritering endnu engang krav om omtanke og strategisk planlægning.
The Commission's present communication requires substantial modifications before it can be approved.
ØSU opfatter på nuværende tidspunkt gennemførelsen af Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union (ØMU) som en afgørende faktor for den europæiske opbygning.
To be able to make an accurate and thorough assessment of the excise duty proposals, we would also need to be familiar with the proposals on the collection of duties, the movement of goods, controls, bonded warehouse regulations, the marking of individual products and all other relevant aspects.
Den multilaterale overvågningsmekanisme angående den økonomiske politik, som Rådet for nylig har oprettet, er et initiativ, der fortjener særlig opmærksomhed i lyset af behovet for konstante fremskridt i retning af konvergens mellem medlemsstaternes økonomiske præstationer.
Since significant changes in existing rates might cause problems for some Member States, convergence towards the new bands should be allowed to continue after the introduction of the single European market.
Det er med andre ord vigtigt at forberede anden og tredje fase af ØMU, specielt oprettelsen af en uafhængig Europæisk Centralbank, som skal have til opgave at opretholde pengenes værdi, hvis regeringskonferencen sidst i 1990 under det italienske formandskab skal nå frem til vægtige konklusioner.
The bands mentioned in the present Opinion should be consolidated at a lower level, especially in the case of certain products.
Beskæftigelsesstigningen i EF forekommer mærkbart stabiliseret (1989 var tredje år i træk med en beskæftigelsesstigning på gennemsnitligt 1,5% årligt).
The Committee has also delivered Opinions on individual proposals, providing more detailed and specific information.
Dette forhold genspejledes i ledighedstallene (et fald fra 10% i 1988 til 9% i 1989). Der er dog stadig store forskelle i forhold til vore vigtigste partneres arbejdsløshedstal (5,2% i USA, 2,3% i Japan og et gennemsnit på lidt over 2,5% i EFTA-landene).
In the Committee's view, the harmonization of the excise duties on mineral oils must take account of not only the effects on national budgets, the need to abolish frontier checks and the impact on competition but also the great
På den baggrund påpeger sektionen ligesom de foregående år, at man også skal øge stigningstakten inden for beskæftigelsen ved at føre en egnet politik på udbudssiden, så man opnår en bedre konvergens mellem udbud og efterspørgsel.
importance of assisting the establishment of a Community energy policy, and the protection of the environment.
Foranstaltninger, der tager sigte på at omlægge og nedsætte arbejdstiden under hensyntagen til produktiviteten må også tages i anvendelse for at forbedre beskræftigelsessituationen.
The main points of the Committee's Opinion on the previous Commission proposal (1987) should be summarized at this point:
Afgiftsharmonisering — Punktafgifter
(a) there would seem to be a case for harmonizing excise duties on mineral oils at the lowest possible level, bearing in mind Member States' budgetary requirements;
Kommissionens nye fremgangsmåde
(b) it would be advisable to abolish all excise duties on heavy fuel oils used purely for production purposes;
Hvad angår Kommissionens fremgangsmåde, bekræfter Det Økonomiske og Sociale Udvalg gyldigheden af de udtalelser, der blev afgivet om punktafgifter i 1988, ¡det visse tilpasninger dog har været nødvendige på baggrund af den aktuelle situation.
(c) it is questionable whether a specific tax on heating oil is acceptable and whether all energy sources should not be treated equally;
Man kan ikke støtte Kommissionens meddelelse i dens nuværende udformning.
(d) tax advantages already granted by Member States for some economic sectors or specific uses should be harmonized;
Det er nødvendigt, at den ændres på væsentlige punkter.
(e) the taxation of vehicle fuels cannot be dealt with in isolation.
For samtlige punktafgifter er det efter ØSU's mening nødvendigt, at der fastsættes minimums- og maksimumssatser, eller med andre ord et satsinterval med en obligatorisk nedre og øvre grænse.
Some derogations—albeit limited in time—could be provided for countries which run into serious difficulties because of their budgets or differences in the systems.
Da afgørende ændringer i de hidtil anvendte satser vil kunne skabe problemer i visse medlemsstater, bør tilpasningen af afgiftsniveauerne, så de kommer til at ligge inden for satsintervallerne, kunne ske i et langsommere tempo end det, der er fastsat for realiseringen af det indre marked.
The rates should be as low as possible, while making due allowance for general and ecological requirements.
Generelt er de mindstesatser og målsatser, Kommissionen foreslår, alt for høje.
The inflationary effect of price variations is a point to be borne in mind also.
Satsintervallerne bør, specielt for visse produkter, baseres på lavere værdier.
Alcoholic beverages and alcohol contained in other products
I de tre udtalelser, ØSU har afgivet om de forskellige produkter, kommer det mere præcist ind på, hvilke værdier man forestiller sig.
It also has to be recognized that there are certain parallels between beer and wine consumption, although competition and substitution between the two products are probably not a problem.
Ved harmonisering af punktafgifterne for mineralolier må der efter ØSU's mening ikke blot tages hensyn til konsekvenserne for de enkelte landes
This should not be subject to excise duty as it is an item of everyday consumption.
Som konklusion henvises til hovedpunkterne i ØSU's udtalelse (1987) om Kommissionens tidligere forslag:
The Committee rejects the Commission's argument in favour of a much higher rate of duty for sparkling wine than for still wine.
— Alle punktafgifter på tunge brændselsolier, som udelukkende anvendes til produktion, bør afskaffes.
The Commission advocates a very high rate of duty on potable alcohol. The obligatory minimum rate is to be 80% of the target rate (as against 50% for other products).
— Det er et spørgsmål, om en særlig afgift på fyringsolie kan accepteres, og om alle energikilder ikke bør behandles ens.
This is unacceptable to the Committee: liqueurs would be beyond the means of consumers in many countries, and the traditionally less expensive products (such as brandy) would be priced right out of the market.
— Der bør ske en harmonisering af medlemsstaternes indrømmelse af skattefordele til nogle økonomiske sektorer med særlige behov.
The Commission proposals are lacking in logic in that they do nothing to address present problems in the market arising from differences in taxation.
— Afgifter på motorbrændstof kan ikke behandles isoleret. Vejskat og andre afgifter, der pålægges for besiddelsen eller brugen af et koretoj, bør også tages i betragtning.
In brief, the ESC feels that the proposals to merely fix minimum rates and recommend target rates, without any obligation to converge, are not commensurate with the aim of harmonization, and refers to its earlier Opinion on this question.
Satsintervallerne bør for alle produkters vedkommende fastsættes med obligatoriske både minimums- og maksimumsværdier, som ligger tilstrækkelig tæt på hinanden.
Rules on customs warehouses, methods of collecting taxes, transport, monitoring and prevention of fraud and tax evasion are also extremely important.
Satserne bør være så lave som muligt, idet der dog tages generelle og økologiske hensyn.
It is very difficult to make a detailed assessment of the proposal without knowing the Commission's views on these questions.
Endelig er der grund til her at minde om prisbevægelsernes inflationsvirkning.
Lastly, the explanatory memorandum is inadequate, particularly as it fails to consider the implications for Member State budgets, consumption and inflation.
Alkoholholdige drikkevarer og alkohol
Tobacco and cigarettes
I övrigt må det erkendes, at forbruget af øl og vin har mange lighedspunkter, selv om de to produkter næppe er direkte konkurrerende eller substituerbare.
While some intervention instruments seek to help producers, taxation policy
Da vin indgår som et normalt led i den daglige kost, bør det ikke belægges med punktafgift.
tends to reduce consumption of Community tobacco without giving similar disincentives for the consumption of imported tobacco.
Kommissionen foreslår for disse vine en betydeligt højere afgift end for ikke-mousserende vine. ØSU kan ikke acceptere den begrundelse, der gives.
Competition problems are also aggravated by a reduction in consumer price differentials and the need to set price levels in advance.
I dette tilfælde finder Kommissionen det hensigtsmæssigt, at der fastsættes en meget høj sats.
The Commission proposal allows all rates above the minimum to remain unaltered indefinitely, while it requires major changes to be made in cases where the rates are currently low.
Den obligatoriske mindstesats fastsættes til 80% af målsatsen (for de øvrige produkters vedkommende er det 50%).
This in no way achieves the desired flexibility, and jeopardizes the goal of harmonization.
Der er ikke enighed om dette forslag, eftersom forbrugerne i mange lande ikke vil være i stand til at betale prisen for spirituosa, specielt da afgiften for spirituosa vil betyde, at hidtil mindre dyre produkter (akvavit, brandy) vil blive trængt ud af markedet.
The concern for consumer health which has led the Commission to propose consider ably higher target rates than in 1987 seems too generic, and does not form part of a general health policy. The Commission proposals penalize cheaper products.
Kommissionens forslag er ikke logiske, da de ikke bidrager til at løse de problemer, som de forskellige beskatningsforhold skaber på markedet.
This is unacceptable, not least because it would adversely affect Community tobacco-growing.
Forslagene kræver en fundamental revision, for så vidt angår konsumalkohol.
It does not seem fair to particularly penalize the less well-off consumers who currently purchase the cheaper brands.
Kort resumeret bemærker ØSU, at forslaget om kun at fastsætte obligatoriske mindsteafgiftsniveauer samt at operere med målsatser, uden at disse på nogen måde er bundet til en konvergensforpligtelse, forekommer at være ude af trit med harmoniseringsbestræbelserne.
Finally, in the light of the above considerations, the Committee's overall opinion of the Commission proposal cannot be a positive one.
ØSU henviser til sin tidligere udtalelse om det samme emne.
Transitional arrangements for taxation
Da Kommissionens holdning til disse aspekter ikke kendes, er det meget vanskeligt at foretage en tilbundsgående bedømmelse af forslaget.
The Opinion repeats that tax policy as a whole is an essential component of all economic policy.
Endelig er der mangler ved Kommissionens tilgang til problemstillingen, eftersom den ikke ser på problemer som afgifternes provenumæssige konsekvenser i medlemsstaterne, for brugseffekt og påvirkning af inflationen.
It is crucial to achieving economic and social cohesion in the Community, improving living conditions in a balanced way and ironing out regional disparities.
Tobaksvarer og cigaretter
The basic reasoning in the Opinions adopted by the Committee since 1988 on VAT and excise duties should also be kept in mind.
ØSU skal henvise til den udtalelse, det afgav om det tidligere forslag fra Kommissionen.
There is a clear need for a transitional period, as advocated by the Committee in its Opinion of 19 December 1989, during which sales of goods continue to be taxed in the country of destination.
der mangler oplysninger om de indvirkninger, forslaget vil have på tobaksindustriens struktur, beskæftigelsen, landbrugssektoren, det offentliges indtægter samt på husholdningernes forbrugsudgifter.
Member States' budget, economic and social policies, so as not to jeopardize the introduction of economic and monetary union in the Community. The Commission's efforts to persuade the Council to simultaneously approve the transitional phase and the definitive arrangements therefore deserve support.
Også konkurrenceproblemerne skærpes, fordi forbrugerprisforskellene ind snævres, og fordi det er nødvendigt forud at fastlægge prisniveauet.
The final arrangements are not therefore confined to indirect taxation: the whole system of taxation will have to be reformed if it is to be uniform and fair.
Kommissionens fremgangsmåde indebærer, at alle satser, som ligger over minimumsniveauet, kan fastholdes uændret på ubestemt tid, medens den stiller krav om betydelige ændringer i tilfælde, hvor satserne ligger under minimumsniveauet. Dette afspejler ingenlunde en fleksibel angrebsmåde og opfylder ej heller harmoniseringsmålsætningen.
Member States which are net importers from the Community may also experience budgetary difficulties during the transition period: the Commission and the Council should therefore take the necessary steps to deal with problems which may ensue.
Kommissionens forslag rammer produkter i den nedre ende af prisskalaen. Som følge heraf kan de ikke accepteres, hvortil kommer, at de også vil have en negativ effekt på Fællesskabets tobaksproduktion.
It should also be remembered that an appropriate offset system will have to operate when the definitive arrangements are in place, while priority should be given to minimizing the scope for fraud.
ØSU's overvejelser er ensbetydende med, at ØSU alt i alt ikke stiller sig positivt til Kommissionens forslag.
The proposal for transitional arrangements should, lastly, be closely linked with the proposal for administrative cooperation in the field of indirect taxation.
Overgangsordninger på momsområdet
Administrative cooperation in the field of indirect taxation
Da Kommissionens forslag i den aktuelle situation udgør et middel til at overvinde vanskelighederne i forbindelse med harmoniseringen af afgifter, er ØSU positiv over for det.
The Committee approves the content of a text which seeks to create a specific Community legal instrument for improving the effectiveness of administrative cooperation on indirect taxation (VAT and excise duties).
På den anden side er ØSU's positive holdning betinget af, at der tages hensyn til de overvejelser, det fremsætter i sin udtalelse.
The Committee's approval is nevertheless subject to the following pro visos: (a) the burden of formalities on firms must be reduced; (b) checks must be even-handed and not excessively meticulous; and (c) the legal basis and form of the Commission proposal must be revised.
Heri minder det om, at den samlede skattepolitik er en væsentlig komponent i enhver form for økonomisk politik.
The Committee argues for a directive rather than a regulation.
Desuden må de argumenter, der er blevet fremført under den politiske debat, hverken negligeres eller undervurderes, ligesom man skal minde
The Committee would stress that, in order to ensure the successful abolition of tax frontiers on 1 January 1993, there must be neither discussion nor deferred decision in the Council on the package of three measures relating respectively to the transitional VAT arrangements, administrative cooperation in the field of indirect taxation and statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States.
om de synspunkter, der ligger til grund for de udtalelser, ØSU har afgivet om moms og punktafgifter i tidsrummet fra 1988 og op til nu.
Assuming that Directive 79/1070/EEC of 6 December 1979, even if duly amended, will be unable to cope with the situation prevailing after 1 January 1993 (when there will be a system of ex post facto tax controls, following the abolition of checks on intraCommunity cross-border traffic), it is necessary and indeed essential to step up mutual assistance and administrative cooperation in the field of indirect taxation.
En overgangsperiode, hvorunder varerne beskattes i bestemmelseslandet, er en klar nødvendighed, hvilket ØSU da også påpegede i sin udtalelse af 19. december 1989. Overgangsperioden skal give medlemsstaterne den fornødne tid til at forberede sig tilstrækkeligt til den endelige ordning.
Subject to the above comments, the Committee therefore endorses the Commission's proposals on the assumption that definitive solutions will eventually be found in the fields of taxation, administrative cooperation and intraCommunity trade statistics, thus ensuring that tax revenue is justly and equitably allocated to the entitled parties, i.e. the Member State where the goods in question are finally consumed, without a complex, expensive compensatory mechanism on which the Committee expressed such strong reservations in its Opinion (CES 742/88) of 7 July 1988.
Ifølge ØSU har denne problematik betydelige konsekvenser for hele økonomien i de berørte lande og stiller i visse tilfælde krav om gennem gribende ændringer af skattesystemerne.
The Committee stresses the need for the new Intrastat system to be usable and for the reliability, quality and exhaustiveness of the statistics collected to be ensured in all respects.
Da nettoimportlandene vil kunne komme til at stå over for skærpede budgetmæssige problemer, også i overgangsperioden, er det nødvendigt, at Kommissionen og Rådet træffer alle de beslutninger, som en løsning af disse problemer tilsiger.
Nor is it possible to ignore the fears, expressed in various quarters, that the simplification of data collection and statistical back-up services will lead to the impoverishment and even deterioration and dismantling of a mechanism which should be available in the future to all sorts of users (be they economic operators or government departments) for all sorts of purposes.
Der skal også mindes om, at der, når den endelige ordning igangsættes, må være etableret et egnet clearingsystem, og det må være en prioriteret opgave at begrænse svigstilfældene til et minimum.
Users claim that, when the single market comes into force, the collection of detailed data will be not less but more necessary than ever before.
