He was however, concerned about the lack of liberalisation in, for example, the energy markets in some countries such as France.
(18/5) Parlamentet godkendte et forslag om ekstra ordinær finansiel bistand på 20 mio. euro til Montenegro, bl.a. under forudsætning af, at Kommissionen inden udbetaling af anden rate aflægger beretning til Parlamentet om gennem førelsen af bistandens første rate.
Replying for the Commission, Pedro SOLBES MIRA underlined that, however, increasing growth was still the main aim of the guidelines, in tandem with the Lisbon Summit commitment to substantially increase employment. He was confident that this could be achieved, especially through more flexibility on the labour markets to create a better balance between supply and demand and an improvement in investment.
De månedlige forhøjelser på korn bør efter ord­førerens menig bibeholdes på det nuværende niveau.
The resolution also acknowledges the importance of tackling the problem of an increasingly ageing population.
På det punkt er hun uenig med Kom­missionen, der mener, at tilskuddet skal nedsættes.
It supports sound public finances and the restructuring of government spending towards R & D and job creation while at the same time warning against using public finance to manage demand in the economy.
Ordføreren mener, at priserne skal bevares, fordi landmændenes indtægter er blevet alvorligt ramt af den seneste udvikling og navnlig de stigende rentesatser i medlemslandene.
There is also support for "reasonable attitudes" in wage negotiations and speeding up the single market in electricity, gas, telecommunications and financial services.
Samtidig finder hun, at undtagelserne for grænsen for det maksimale vandindhold i korn bør ændres, fordi det vil have betydning for en række medlemslande.
At the same time, there is backing for a full range of environmentally friendly policies to achieve the objectives of the Kyoto Protocol.
(15/5) Kommissionen har udarbejdet et forslag til fastlæggelse af priser på en række landbrugs­produkter.
Support for stability and convergence programmes but concern over inflation rate and debt levels in Greece (A5-0108/2000 - Pomes Ruiz)
Kommissionen foreslår at videreføre den flerårige løsningsmodel, der blev anvendt for Agenda 2000 og de foregående reformer.
The programmes are key elements in forging a closer economic and monetary policy and Mr Pomèz Ruiz' report notes that although all member states at present have a deficit below 3 percent of GDP, only Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Sweden and the UK meet the requirement of a budget close to balance or in surplus.
Det har den fordel, at landmændene får mere stabile rammer til at gennemføre en langsigtet planlægning af deres produktion.
In the longterm Mr Pomèz Ruiz noted that programmes would have to take account of population growth and indeed an ageing population as well as the upward trend in interest rates.
Størrelsen af de månedlige forhøjelser fastsættes uden tidsbegrænsning. Dette udelukker dog ikke fremtidige ændringer, som måtte vise sig påkrævede.
Reform of the labour market and further liberalisation of industries such as télécoms and energy was also important, he said, before pointing out that subsidiarity also meant that national parliaments should take an interest in European issues.
Med hensyn til sukker foreslår Kommissionen en uændret videreførelse af den nuværende produk­tionskvoteordning, der ellers udløber ved udgangen af produktionsåret 2000/2001.
On behalf of the EPP/ED, Othmar KARAS (GR), too underlined the importance of the Stability and Grown Pact in ensuring confidence in the economy but he addressed most of his remarks to Greece's application for membership of the single currency and here he expressed concern about Greece's ability to sustain its present improvements in meeting the convergence criteria especially as far as inflation and public debt was concerned.
Ordføreren fremhævede, at udvalget er imod Kom­missionens forslag om at reducere kornsubsidierne ad to omgange for derefter at fastfryse dem. Desuden ønsker udvalget en mere fleksibel fast­sættelse af vandindholdet i korn.
As to Greece's application, she noted that it had indeed met the criteria and that it should not be treated any differently from countries such as Belgium and Italy who also had high public debt levels.
Elisabeth JEGGLE udtrykte ligeledes utilfredshed med forslaget om at reducere landbrugsbudgettet med 300 mill, euro, der skal bruges til at støtte Kosovo. Ordføreren finder det urimeligt at lade landbruget betale.
Expressing his satisfaction with the achievements of the member states set out in the programmes Carles-Alfred GASÒLIBA I BÖHM (E), speaking for the Liberals, underlined the importance of continuing to reduce public debt so that budgets could be in balance.
Uanset hvordan de 300 mill, bliver fratrukket landbrugsbudgettet, vil det ske på bekostning af landmændene, mente hun. Land­
It was also important for there to be closer cooperation in the economic policy area between the member states if a genuine EMU at European level was to be achieved.
Udvalget om Landbrug og Udvikling af Land­distrikter med Elisabeth JEGGLE (PPE­DE, D) som ordfører hilser Kommissionens forslag vel­kommen. Det er i overensstemmelse med reformerne i Agenda 2000.
Commenting on the situation in Austria, Wolfgang ILGENFRITZ (IND, A) noted that, while his country had not achieved the objectives as could be seen in other member states, successful policy could only be achieved by reducing taxation.
Princippet om en fast, flerårig ordning giver de enkelte landmænd mulighed for at få mere stabile rammer til at planlægge produktionen på lang sigt, vurderes det. Ordføreren giver udtryk for, at priserne fremover
He felt it was a mistake to take the view that higher taxes were needed to pay for higher social welfare benefits and indeed pointed out that tax and social security levels, in the Euro zone, accounted for some 46 percent of GDP as against a figure
Landbrug og Udvikling af Landdistrikter brugssektoren har selv rigeligt brug for de omtalte midler, understregede hun.
of 30 percent in the US and Japan (the figure for the UK is 40 percent).
Kommissæren afviste, at de 300 mill, euro til genopbygningen i Kosovo skal finansieres via sukkersubsidierne, som hævdet af udvalget.
By recognising the need to comply with the Stability and Growth Pact, Giorgos KATIFORIS (PES, GR) felt that the programmes were concentrating on too narrow an area aimed at just reducing taxation.
Ordføreren foreslog, at der bliver givet støtte til skovrejsning til de skove, der blev skadet i forbindelse med vinterens voldsomme storme.
It was necessary to take into account the "spirit" of the pact in promoting benefits throughout the economy and here he felt it was necessary to acknowledge there would always be a role for the state, for example, in investment.
De nødvendige midler kan i givet falde overføres fra andre bugetposter.
Greece had made the necessary sacrifices to qualify for membership of the single currency, he added.
Han kunne ikke tiltræde forslaget om at flytte midler fra en budgetpost til en anden for at afhjælpe de akutte problemer, der opstod i forbindelse med vinterens voldsomme storme.
Replying for the Commission, Pedro SOLBES MIRA emphasised that greater coordination of policies was needed and the Commission needed more detailed information on such factors as income and expenditure while in the long-term, figures on demography and an ageing population would help with forecasts and decisionmaking.
I den forbindelse henviste han til, at Parlamentet selv tidligere har modsat sig denne fremgangsmåde.
It was also important to examine closely the ways in which a reduction in debt had been achieved by the member states and to ensure that this was sustainable in the future.
Afslutningsvis nævnte kommissær FISCHLER, at Kommissionen er i gang med at færdiggøre en undersøgelse af vilkårene for produktion og handel med frugt og grønt, herunder tomater.
As to Greece's application, he pointed out that it had met the convergence criteria and, he felt, concerns over sustainability were exaggerated.
(16/5) Parlamentet godkendte forslaget med ud valgets ændringsforslag.
The latest data showed inflation coming down from 2.8 percent in March to 2.1 percent in April.
Kommissær Franz FISCHLER glædede sig over, at Europa-Parlamentet tilslutter sig de centrale aspekter i Kommissionens forslag til fastsættelse af landbrugspriserne.
Thursday 18 May - In approving the resolution expressing satisfaction that the budgetary objectives set out in the Stability and Convergence programmes by 397 votes to 95 with 10 abstentions, Parliament adopted a number of amendments relating to Greece's application to join the single currency.
I den forbindelse gav han ord føreren ret i, at diskussionen om landbrugspriserne ikke længere giver anledning til en ophedet debat.
The resolution now welcomes Greece's successful participation in the EMS since May 1998 but emphasises that the Maastricht Treaty criteria must apply to all applicant countries.
Den langsigtede prisfastsættelse, som er et resultat af Agenda 2000, er en afgørende faktor for denne udvikling, mente han.
The resolution shares the concern of the ECB that Greece has fulfilled the inflation criteria only within the last few months.
Han henledte opmærksom heden på, at det i visse tilfælde er muligt at skride ind for at ændre priserne, når det skønnes nødvendigt. vendigt.
The resolution also calls on the Greek government to make further efforts to reduce indebtedness.
Sukker er undtaget fra forslaget vedrørende nye landbrugspriser.
It also wants to see liberalisation in the telecom and energy markets speeded up.
Grunden hertil er, at ordningen udløber i 2001. Derfor foreslår Kommissionen at forsætte den nuværende ordning med et år, frem til år 2001.
Parliament also wants to see more details from the Commission on the budget position of each member state and widespread consultation on the programmes including debates in national Parliaments.

Euro - Yes to Greece (A5-00/2000 - Goebbels)
(15/5) Kommissionens forslag om ændring af forordning om indførelse af en støtteordning for producenter af visse markafgrøder for at medtage hør og hamp bestemt til fiberproduktion er koncentreret om tre punkter:
Wednesday 17 May - Recommending approval of the Commission proposal for Greece to adopt the single currency as from 1 January 2001, Robert GOEBBELS (PES, L) said Greece was fully qualified for membership and to join the eurozone with the introduction of the single currency in January 2002.
Kommissæren mente ikke, at nedskæringerne i kornstøtten er i strid med beslutningerne i Berlin.
There had, he said, been genuine convergence with inflation falling from 20 percent in 1990 to 2.6 percent in 1999.
Arealbetalingerne for hør og hamp bestemt til fiberproduktion skal i tre faser reduceres til det støtteniveau, der er fastsat for korn.
The public sector was no longer characterised by mis-management and Greece could no longer be considered "the sick man of Europe".
Yderligere forvaltnings- og kontrolmekanismer, som forpligtelsen til en kontrakt om køb af hørog hampstrå mellem producenten og den godkendte første forarbejdningsvirksomhed, er forudsætningen for at få arealbetaling.
Indeed, eminent international bodies such as the IMF, OECD, ECB as well as the European Commission had now issued favourable comments on the efforts made by the Greek government, although he admitted the situation was far from perfect.
Kommissær FISCHLER understregede, at der i forbindelse med prisfastsættelsen skal lægges vægt på forskellige kvalitetskriterier.
There was a need to consolidate the gains that had been made to pursue counter-inflationary policies.
Han var således uenig med udvalget i spørgsmålet om vandindholdet i korn.
This depended on the cooperation of the social partners and the people as a whole.
Han gjorde opmærksom på, at vandindholdet er fastsat til 14,5%, og det kan der ikke ændres ved.
There was also a need to step up the pace of reforms especially with regard to privatisation.
Det ville i givet fald skabe problemer med afregningsprisen blandt andet i forbindelse med tørring af kornafgrøderne.
Indeed, he could endorse the application to join and was able to say that it would not cause any political risk.
Endelig er forslaget om en fleksibel procentsats for vandindholdet i korn ikke i overensstemmelse med de gældende internationale aftaler, påpegede han.
As to economic risk, he admitted, however, that this would be for Greece itself rather than the rest of the eurozone.
Støtten i form af støtte pr. ton til forarbejdning af hør- og hampstrå skal ydes, idet der skelnes mellem lange hørfibre og korte hør- og
Turning to the question of the other EU countries not yet members, he looked forward to a successful outcome in the Danish and Swedish
Landbrug og Udvikling af Landdistrikter i:':": :': ■■■ '
Greferendums before expressing the hope that the UK too could join in the future.
Støtten skal udbetales til den godkendte forarbejdende virksomhed i overens­stemmelse med produktionen af fibre med visse kendetegn.
As to its present level against the dollar, he emphasised that the foreign currency markets had always been characterised by volatility and indeed this was the case with the D-mark in the past.
Med denne mængdeafhængige støtte skal en dyrkning udelukkende med henblik på præmie forhindres.
He contended that Europe's economies were much healthier than in previous decades, even if unemployment was still too high.
I forslaget fastsættes en ordning til stabilisering af de budgetmidler, som anvendes til forarbejd­ningspræmien, da der ikke er fastsat grænse­værdier for dyrkningsarealer for hørfibre og hampfibre, og da de dyrkede arealer i de senere år er steget enormt.
For the PES, Christa RANDZIO-PLATH (D) too welcomed the efforts made by the Greek government to reduce inflation and meet the convergence criteria.
I 1995 udgjorde udgifterne 74 mio. euro og vil i 2000 stige til 173 mio. euro.
She noted that high debt levels as to be seen in Greece were also experienced by Belgium and Italy.
Af denne grund fastsættes en maksimal garantimængde for lange hørfibre og en fælles maksimal garantimængde for korte hørfibre og hampfibre.
As to the euro itself she, too, took the view that low inflation at 1.9 percent in the eurozone was clear signal that the currency had been successfully launched and was achieving its prime goal of achieving internal stability.
Udvalget om Landbrug og Udvikling af Land­distrikter med Agnes SCHHÍRHUBER (PPE­DE, D) som ordfører er kritisk over for Kommissionens reformbestræbelser og afvises dem i deres fore­liggende form.
Christopher HUHNE (ELDR, South East) took issue with Euro-sceptics in the UK who represented the fall in the value of the euro against the dollar and the pound as a failure.
Det må betvivles, hvorvidt der med dette forslag sættes en stopper for produktionen udelukkende for præmiens skyld, og hvorvidt bevarelsen og fremme af små og mellemstore virksomheder ligeledes er sikret, mener udvalget.
This showed a misunderstanding of the aims of the single currency which, he said, was to achieve price stability as represented by an inflation rate of less than 2 percent and, indeed, he pointed that the projected growth level of over 3 percent was higher than in the UK.
Forslagene vil snarere skyde over målet og betyde den samlede sektors endeligt.
This had also enabled the eurozone to be protected from volatility between national currency.
Ordningens nyorien­tering må ske på en sådan måde, at de faktiske forhold tages i betragtning, og at markedet stabili­seres fremover, konkluderer udvalget.
Pointing to recent research based on the notational value of the single currency over the last twenty years, he said figures showed a fluctuation ranging from 0.69 to the dollar in February 1985 to 1.70 in December 1979 Historically, foreign exchange rates were characterised by such volatility that it was important to take this factor into account, he said.
Planen er, at den nye markedsorganisation og arealbetalingsordningen skal træde i kraft den 1. juli 2000.
While there was general support for the positive recommendation from other speakers in the debate, such as Mihail PAPAYANNAKIS (EUL/NGL, GR) and Marietta GIANNAKOU-KOUTSIKOU (EPP/ED, GR), Dimitrios KOULOURIANOS (EUL/NGL, GR) expressed reservations as he felt the criteria were too restrictive on the Greek economy and indeed could pose a threat to employment in the long term.
Da en så dybtgående reform kræver en vis indkøringsperiode m.h.t. gennemførelse og rådgivning, er denne dato urealistisk, vurderer udvalget.
Another view was expressed by Georges BERTHU (UEN, F) who, while accepting that it was not really his position to comment on the accession of another country to the single currency, felt the risk of further depreciation could possibly lead to such a destabilising effect that the single currency would be replaced by a common currency, which would enable the "outs" to participate.
Desuden mener udvalget, at markedsordningen for hør og hamp samt udbetalingen af en forabejd­ningspræmie principielt må bifaldes.
Gerard COLLINS (UEN, Munster), on the other hand, felt that the Stability and Growth Pact and sound public finances had contributed to the promotion of a successful European economy.
(16/5) Parlamentet besluttede at sende forslaget tilbage til fornyet udvalgsbehandling, da Kom­missionen ikke kunne acceptere udvalgets ændringsforslag.
The convergence programmes were excellent ways of monitoring progress and followed on as a logical step from the Maastricht Treaty. He welcomed Greece's application and those from central and eastern Europe as a sign that the euro was taking off.
Nyt fra Parlamentet-Maj-ll 2000
What was needed now he felt was a clear line from the ECB as to how it would bolster its value in the future.
Kommissionens foreløbige budgetforslag for 2001
Address by Mr Kucan, President of the Republic of Slovenia
(16/5) Kommissionens foreløbige budgetforslag for 2001 er udarbejdet i overensstemmelse med de overordnede økonomiske retningslinjer, der blev vedtaget på topmødet i Berlin.
Wednesday 17 May - The President, Nicole FONTAINE, welcomed the Slovenian President, Milan KUCAN to the European Parliament.
Det beløber sig til i alt 96,924 mia. euro i forpligtelser og 93,874 mia. euro i betalinger.
Mr Kucan began by stressing that co-existence was the only real alternative for the future of humanity.
Der er tale om en stigning på 3,9% for forpligtelser og 5% for betalinger, navnlig på grund af lovbundne udgifter på landbrugsområdet.
The solid foundations of this co-existence in the global world demanded a globalised politics of common responsibility or some kind of world-wide "domestic politics" to which all countries would be bound.
Budgetforslaget udgør 1,07% af EU's bruttonationalprodukt, hvilket udgør et mindre fald i forhold til 2000-budgettet (1,11%).
This would be based on the principles of democracy and human rights.
Støtten til Vestbalkan er en højt prioriteret opgave for EU, og bevillingerne hertil udgør derfor en væsentlig del af den samlede budgetramme for eksterne foranstaltninger.
Mr Kucan also stressed the principle of a "common responsibility" in Europe with the development of common European policies.
Det påregnes at afsætte i alt 815 mio. euro til hele regionen.
However, he emphasised that all parts of Europe should be integrated and that no-one is excluded.
Heraf skal hovedparten anvendes til genopbygningen i Kosovo. Der er kun afsat et mindre beløb til Serbien.
He was particularly concerned at new divisions emerging in Europe.
Med henblik på at finansiere støtten til Balkan foreslås det at reducere forpligtelserne på næsten alle andre områder under eksterne foranstaltninger.
He argued that there were now four Europés: the first was made up of countries of the EU and NATO members; the second was made up of countries seeking to join the EU.
Der vil dog fortsat være en stigning i betalingerne til stort set alle beløbsmodtagere, navnlig på grund af uudnyttede bevillinger i de tidligere år.
The third was made up of countries of eastern Europe such as Ukraine, Croatia and Bosnia which wanted ultimately to join the EU.
Kommissionens administrative udgifter stiger med 2,3% (pensionsordninger ikke medregnet).
Finally, there was a group of countries that did not for the moment want to join the EU - most notably, Serbia.
Landbrugsbudgettet forøges med 7,6% som resultat af beslutninger i forbindelse med vedtagelsen af Agenda 2000.
Even within the first Europe, Mr Kucan recognised that there were problems such as xenophobia and racism.
Kommissær Michaele SCHREYER understregede, at budgetforslaget er udarbejdet på baggrund af drøftelser mellem Parlamentet, Rådet og Kommissionen.
There was also evidence of the emergence of two classes in society - the unemployed and socially-excluded on the one hand and the others with a relatively secure future.
For så vidt angår strukturforanstaltninger følger budgetforslaget den beløbsramme, der blev fastsat på topmødet i Berlin.
The President underlined the importance of respect for the free flow of ideas and tolerance - "the basic connective tissue of Europe".
Betalingerne fastfryses stort set på samme niveau som i år med henblik på at bidrage til en stram overholdelse af budgetdisciplinen. plinen.
He noted that the NATO intervention in Kosovo was the first step towards putting fundamental human rights above the value of state sovereignty.
Kommissionen har dog haft mulighed for at foretage en vis prioritering, der bl.a. også afspejler Parlamentets ønsker.
Human rights violations could not be treated simply as internal affairs.
Med hensyn til de interne politikker har Kommissionen ikke mange manøvremuligheder, fordi 80% af udgifterne hidrører fra de flerårige programmer, der er lovgivningsmæssigt fastsat.
Turning to enlargement, he argued that countries such as his own had demonstrated that they were able to take on the rules that had taken a relatively long time to become established in the EU.
Der foreslås bl.a. en mindre forøgelse af budgettet for det Femte EU-Rammeprogram for Forskning og Teknologisk Udvikling. I denne sammenhæng har budgetforslaget direkte relation til to af Kommissionens strategiske målsætninger for perioden 2000-2005, nemlig den nye økonomiske og sociale dagsorden samt forbedring af levevilkårene i EU.
Enlargement would be beneficial both for current member states and the applicant countries.
Forskningsbudgettet forøges med 8%, og der lægges særlig vægt på uddannelse og ungdommen gennem Sokrates- og Leonardo-programmerne.
Among applicant countries, there was the impression of a "moving target" and this was dampening the enthusiasm of the better prepared candidates as they felt they would have to wait for the less prepared candidates.
Der forudses også afset betydelige midler til udbygning af den sociale dialog, til kampen mod diskrimination og til styrkelse af Den Europæiske Flygtningefond. ningefond.
The EU should also not use the problems among the candidates countries as an excuse to delay its own reforms , while candidate countries should not use the difficulties of EU internal reform as an excuse for delaying their own reforms.
Michaele SCHREYER understregede betydningen af en stram budgetdisciplin. Hvis man ser bort fra de lovbundne udgifter på landbrugsområdet, er der tale om en beskeden stigning på i alt 1% i EU's samlede budget, sagde hun.
Mr Kucan was also concerned that enlargement could be slowed by bilateral demands, and was unhappy that, in the current negotiations, there was a tendency for demands to be made for restitution of property to those from whom it was appropriated following the Second World War.
Budgetudvalget er baseret på et positivt skøn vedrørende væksten i EU i det kommende år.
He expected negotiations to be concluded next year and outlined areas where Slovenia had made progress, particularly in the economic sphere.
instrumentet i forbindelse med en demokratisk udvikling i landet.
In conclusion, he underlined the importance of co-existence which involved an active acceptance of the future.
