I NTRO DU C T ION

Between 1981 and 1982 the Group of the European Peopte's Party (CD Group) was invoLved in a series of compLex and decisive issues: the entargement of the

Communi ty to incLude Spain and Portugat brith aLL its poLiticaL and economic

'i mpLications, the battLe against the econonri c crisis, the broadening and strenqthening of reIations with Th.i rd t,lorLd countries, the lvlandate of 30 May and econotiri c alignment and the tong hard road towards European poI iticaL union.

The Christian-Democratic Group responded to the chalLenges with a determjned and consistent poLiticaL activity, emerging incidentaLty as the most united and homogeneous among the parliamentary groups- This unity is the resuLt of cLose and fruitful poLiticaI debate within the Group which not only made our poLiticat action dynamic and imaginative but atso coherent and .incisive.

In Strasbourg, on 25 March 1982, the European MP's sotemnLy commemorated the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome and recaLLed the achievements of the founding fathers of Europe : the men who, in the aftermath of a war which deeply ravaged Europe, undertook the difficutt and courageous task of overcoming narro91 nationaL interests and proposed instead a spirit of coope rat i on.

over these 25 years the Community has made impressive progress towards an even closer union among the peoptes of Europe, thereby achieving one of the fundamentaI aims envisaged by the Treaty of Rome.

An even more notabLe deveLopment has been the enlargement of the European

Economic Community with the accession of Ir eland, Denmark, the United Kingdom and, more recentLy, Greece; the Europe of the Ten today is the major l,'lorLd economi c power with a gross domest ic product higher even than that of the USA-

But, beyond these positive aspects, Furope must now face a series of problems which threaten it !,ith progressive paralysis; these inctude the dis- tressing and persistent economi c crisis and its attendant sociaI repercussions, the monetary disorder and aLso a revivat of outdated, but above atL steriLe anc harmfu I nationatistic attitudes-

In view of these circumstances the European ParIiament, having been direct[y etected by the citizens of Europe, has not only the right but primari Ly the duty to 4, and by exercising its oh,n initiative to stimutate us out of our present stagnation.

The Christian-Democrat ic Group has devoted a speciaL effort to materiaL[y strengthening Europe and overcoming those obstactes which hinder the smooth funct ion ing of the Community.

over the past year Partiament has given much attention to the questions of the common agriculturaL poLicy and of the customs union which were both at the core of a Lively and methodicat debate to uhich the EPP Group made a partjc- uIarty informed contribution.

The common agriculturaI poIicy L,as also re-examined in the context of the

Mandate of 30 May drawn up for the purpose of a review of the various Community poticies within the frameuork of the Community's budget -

Parliamentrs attitude to the common customs union was undeniabLy highLy criticaL, especiatly as regards the fact that,25 years after the aboIition of tariff barri ers, major obstactes to trarCe between the Member States stitL remain in the form of non-tariff barriers, customs format ities, technicaI and administrative obstructions, fiscaI positions, etc- whi ch together hinder the proper functioning of Community trade.

These probLems !,ere at the centre of a report drawn up on the initiative of the Christian-Denocrats which succeeded in pressurizing the Commission into present ing new proposaLs on these issues, now being considered by Partiament-

one of the Community,s majon achievements in recent years - eSsent'i aL to the creation of a united Europe - has been the invotvement of the Member States in foreign poLicy, with speciat regard to potitical cooperat ion. Here the EPP has reguIarLy played a key rote in determining ParLiament's approach as, for exampte, in the debates on the MiddLe East, Potand, Afghanistan, and in its relations with Japan and the USA.

The EPP is convinced that Europe can and must pLay an active role on the 'internationaL scene, encouraging a comprehensive approach which ranges from a pol.icy of deterrence or at Ieast restraint of Soviet aggression, through upholding the right of atL peoples to Life and Iiberty as procLained in the United Natjons Declaration, att the way to the search for a batance between the conditions necessary fOr free trade and those for stabLe and harmonious economi c growth.

These pr.inciptes appl-y not on[y to the industriaIjzed wortd but atso to the deveLoping countries; the European PeopIes' Party has expressed its serious concern over the steadiLy worsening worLd food situation and has strongLy (ACP) urged the EEC and the African, Caribbean and Pac'if ic States within the

framework of the Lom6 convent ion, to direct their efforts towards a new and fairer system of internationaI retations and aro for devetopment.

Internal[y, Europe is facing a severe economic crisis uith a heavy tott of 10 miLl.ion unempIoyed. The CommunitystliLL has onty Limited powers in the sphere

of employment pol"icy, responsibiLjty remaining to a Large extent with the nation-

al governments; nonethetess, practicaI measures have been suggested at Community

IeveI to aLLeviate the probLem of unempLoyment, the most significant of which are the proposaLs on voLuntary part-time work, the retirement age, vocat ionaL training, and others concerning particuIar di sadvantaged sociaL groups which are more directty vutnerab[e to the economi c crisis, ie women, young peopte ancl migrant workers. Partiament has aLso made specific efforts to ensure greater participation by emptoyees in the management of enterprises, a matter of particutar importance in times of economi c recession.

The EPP is concerned that our efforts to orotect the envi ronment shouLd not be curtai Led because of financiaL difficuLties. The Christian-Democrat ic Group has given its support to the proposal for a directive from the Commission of the European Communities for controtLing various forms of pottution; to the same domain belong the initiatives firmLy pursued by our Group for the protection of certain animat species threatened with extinction.

The Community is cons idered in man./ quarters as a pureLy economi c body set up tntith the aim of increasing the voLume of trade and industr.iaL output-

It is true that its name indicates that it is founded on an economic agreement, but the pot.iticaI aspect remains of vitaL importance.

The uttimate aim of the fore'runnens of European unification has aLways been to establish close economic Links as the sine qua non of a future politicaL un i on.

Significant in this respect are the words of one of the f i rst Pres.i dents of the EEC, !JaLter HatIstein, when he stated that we are not in fact deaI ing with trade but wjth poLitics. t'Je Christ ian-Democrats are convinced of the need to proceed decisiveLy and resoluteLy atong the road of poLiticaI unity and we see the European Union as an indispensabte instrument for the consoLidation of freedom, democracy and peace, and the well-being of our peopLes.

This politicat evoLution obviousLy implies perfecting the

Community Institutions; in this context the resuLts of the initiaI phase of the wonk carried out by the committee set up by the European ParLiament to draw up a nelr draft of the Treaty -which concluded when the motjon for a resotution on European union was voted - have been positive-

But the wor.k of the Committee on InstituiionaI Affairs on the proposed amendments to the Treaties wouLd remain fruitLess without the contribution of the generaL public and of the nationaI parLiaments.

1ale Christian-Democratic members of the European ParLiament beIieve that our cot Leagues in the nationaL parLiaments must be invoLved from the outset, for without their support and without the consensus of the peopIes, the work of the

Committee on InstitutionaL Affairs and the European Par"Liament's proposaLs wouLd be mereIy academic or narcissistic.

There is sti[[ a tong way to go and the EPP Group pledges to alL European citizens that it witL foLLow the road with vigour, consistency and determination-

A TENTATIVE APPRAISAL

II 4Z 'Why are t.le not ab[e to join together in the eLaboration and firm imptementation of a Communi ty anti-crisis poticy? I think it is above atL because we do not have a Community organ suitabte for democratic decision in this area. For this reason, within this body itsetf - the CounciL - the members tend more towards the defence of their own particuIar interests than towards the discussion and deLiberation of general interests. Neverthe- Iess, particuIalinterests are substantiatty dependent on the generat ones: whether we wi t L or no, the t r,,lo groups f orm an integrated who[e. ' (PaoLo BARBI, chairman of the EPP Group, in the debate at the end of the Betgian presidency on 15 June 1982 before the European Partiament.)

'0f course the modern tendency of poLiticians is to t,,ant more spending on their own particular interests in their own country.' (Prime Minister Margaret THATCHER on 16 December 1981 before the European Partiament.)

'ALready so much has been proposed, and come to nothing, so that - uith or uithout hetp from wise men - scepticism has grown increasingty.' (Foreign Minister Leo TINDEMANS in the European ParIiament debate at the start of the Be[gian presidency of the Councit on 21 Januany 1982.)

7'l'l of the citizens of the Community are in favour of European unification but onLy 522 think that their country's membership of the Community is a good thing, according to the resuLts of the Euro-barometer opinion poLL in Apri L 1982.

This discrepancy betueen pubLic perception of the objective of European integr-ation and their identificatjon with the present state of the Community 'is disturbing. After a[1, one in every three pro-Europeans obviousty feeIs that the Community does not conform to his ideat.

One institution which suffers particutarLy as a resutt of this state of affairs is the Eunopean ParLiament. At the beginning of 1982 it compteted the first haLf of its eLectoraL period; during the second haLf its efforts wiLL have to be directed more than ever towards getting the European eLectorate to use its vote in the second direct eLections to confer democratic Legitimacy on Parliament and to give it a mandate for the next five years. But hot.t is this to be done when according to the same opinion pol1, only 4 out of 10 of those questioned in the NetherLands, the FederaL RepubLic of Germany, Italy and Luxembourg and less than 2 out of 10 in Greece and

13 the United Kingdom, consider themselvras weLL enough informed about the Community I s activities.

In its resotution on the Commission's response to the ttlandate of 30 May 1980, ParLiament catts for a Commission study to assess a[[ the non- budgetary advantages and disadvantage:; for each Member State of membership of the Community. In a nationaI context it goes uithout saying that persons 'i n pubIic authority are accountabLe to the pubtic about their duties and the way they perform them; no-one etse !,ri [[ reLieve them of this responsibitity of forming their own image. That this is not done with sufficient cLarity, honesty and etoquence in a Language which everyone understands at European IeveL is therefore a serious faiLing. There are too many taboos, there is the fear of injuring national- sensibitities, the concept of strict propontionaLity at European teveI has got out of hand, the CounciI takes decisions behind ctosed doors and, as a resutt, no-one is specificaLLy accountabte for the achievements or faitings of European poLitics.

The purpose of the Group's activity report, which is notr something of a traditionaL exercise, is to fiLL in some of the gaps- In addition to the many, necessarity technicat, dertaiIs its aim is to put across a basic message, name[y that the majority in the European Partiament, and the EPP Group which forms that majolity in imprortant areas, are hotding high the European hope. There is no such thing as defeat: it exists onty in the mind. The reaI chaItenge in Europe is not primari[y an economi c one but one of state of mind-

Under RuLe 16 0f the 1981 RuLes of Procedure the term of office,of the officers of ParI iament (Presidents, Vice-Presidents, Quaestors) is 22 Years; the rutes of procedure of the EPP Group stipulate the same term of office for its governing bodies.

under these provisions mid-term etections fetI due in the first directty- e[ected Partiament at ParIiament and Group levet. The Group used this opportunity to carry out a restructuring exercise, which distributed poIitical' responsibi Lity and partiamentary duties on a broader basis to take account inter atia of the increase in numbers to 117 members and nine nationaLities foLLow.ing the accession of the eight members of the Greek party Nea Dimokratia on 23 December 1981 .

The qlgUp-gUreau was expanded to inctude, in addition to the previous officers, the working party chairmen, EPP chairmen of committees and the chairman of the ACP/EEC Joint Committee-

Thus, of the Greek Members, Efstratios PAPAEFSTRATIOU became chairman of the SociaI Affairs Committee and Konstantinos KALOYANNIS vice-chairman of the Committee on Transport; Bouke BEUMER (NL) uas appointed chairman of the Committee on Youth, Culture, Information, Education and Sport.

,0f aLL the difficuLt situations, the hardest to bear are those t,Jhich invoLve discrimination against the opinions and views of those who ho[d office...,'

,h,et[ said, Mr commissioner!' one is tempted to say. But woutd it not make even more sense if this maxim were appLied in generaL to the Counci['s and Commission's re[ations with the European Partiament, which moreover holds its office by courtesy of the sovereign pol,er, name[y the electorate.

White one cannot cLaim that the Commission ftouts ParIiament's decisions, nor can it be sa.id on the other hand that the Commission Labours with particutar enthusiasm to impLement them. First there is the fact that ParLiament has repeatedLy cal-Led on the commission to reorganize i!9-I9!g!19!S-!1!h-Bel!ieEg!! w.ithin the framework of a (biLate|aL) institutionaL agreement. The European ParLiament has aLready expLained in sufficient detaiL its views on such an agreement, which wouLd incLude the reguLar submission of a programme to be approved by Par[.iament, the reform of the consultation pnocedure and consideration of amendments requested by Partiament. The Commission has not submitted any proposaLs to this end-

is In the bgdgg!-SgSlgg it is not always obvious that the Commission on the same side as partiament. It uatered down considerab[y ParIiamentrs viewpoint that !b9-9n!y-1n-!!9-bCdS9! of non-computsory appropriations gio-v-i-d-qd--1-s-11f-f-1c-i-ent--t-"-e-a!!-ls-rl for spending them. ln the budgetary controL fietd, Partiament's demands for betten Ee!esgEC!!-91-glpgr!-relcnd9 lSf-eeffSC!!CIa!--pI9dC9!9 (in particu[ar for exports to state-tradins countries) have been onLy partiaLLy met. This is one reason why Part iament has stiLt not given the discharge for the 1980 budget'

How is it that, in spite of undertakings not to undermine the American embargo because of Afshanistan bv t!9tgq9tos-esll-9c!!cre!-erpgl!9-!9-!!s us!!, the volume of community exports to the USSR increased four-fold duning the per.iod of the embargo? This has not been satisfactoriLy explained by the Commi ss i on.

19 ParLiament did not make things erasy for itseLf in the debate on the Eelgglg_Igpgllg; on turo occasions (17'November 1981 and 19 ApriL 19gZ), interim reports submitted to Partiament t.lere referred back to the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, which was the committee resoons.ibte. This was because the counc'i Irs Mandate of 30 May 19g0 which stipulated that

'the examination wiLt concern the deveLopment of community poLicies, without catIing into quest ion the common financiaL responsibiIity for these poticies which are financed from the community's own resources, or the basic principles of the common agricutturaI poLicy. Tak.ing account of the situations and interests of aIL Member States, this examination wiLI aim to prevent the recurrence of unacceptabl-e situations for any of them'

was interpreted by the commission - arrd commendably so and with the support of ParLiament - in the broadest possibLe manner from the outset. The commission construed it not as a mandiate to seek a new batance in the flow of funds between community and Member States but as an opportunity to formu[ate a gtobaI concept of Community poticier; taking into account current requi rements and const raints.

In the discussion of the proposals submitted by the Commission it became appanent that this approach has not been thought out rigorousLy or coherent [y enough.

Let us took first at the egligg!LClg!_!e!!9t: - The commission's first report of 24 June 19g1 (cOM (g1 ) 300) in resoonse to the mandateof 30 May 1980with respect to agricuLturaI poLicywas unanimousty rejected by Par'Iiament, since it referred onIy to possibLe improvements 'in the common aglicutturaL poLicy (CAP) and because the few soIutions proposecl in the report !{ere vague in the extreme. The proposaI to use the reLationsh.ip betueen a Membef Staters share of the Community's gross nationaL product and the proportion it obtains of EAGGF-Guarantee section expenditure as a kind of corrective mechanism amounts to a re-nationat izat'ion of the CAp and a violation of the principle of community preference. The tinkage of the United Kingdom's contribution with the reform of the agricutturaL poticy must be considered irreIevant.

- In response to ParLiament's harsh criticism the Commission subsequent Iy produced on 10 November 1981 a neu, memorandum on the same topic; entitLed 'GuideLines for European agricutture, (COM (81 ) 6013 finaL);

20 of - The primary aims of its very detai ted proposats which deatt with most the oroducts coverecl by market organizations, uere a reaI reduction in wheat orices and a restriction of expenditure on the miLk market organization through greater financiaL participation by producers' a more active trade poticy* and a strengthening of structuraL measures (aid f or" smatL producers);

- Because of the inabiLity of the counci ts of AgricuLture Ministers and Foreign Ministers to reach agreement on the mandate papef - in particular because of the controversies caused by the cAP proposaLs - the commission's proposa ts h,ere ' forgotten';

put - SimiLarLy, the farm price proposaLs for 198?183 which ought to have had its way, some of the mandate proposaIs into effect, had the commission bore no reLation to the mandate paper, except for the smaLI price increase for whea t;

2L A case in point is g!gtgy_p9!i9y for which parLiament long ago estabtished the foltowing order of priority:

1. Energy sav i ng, 2. New energy sou r ces, 3- Indigenous resources and 4. Nuc lear ene rgy .

quote A from the opinion by Hanna r,JALz on behaLf of the committee on Energy dispenses with any further comment on the commission's posit.ion:

'coordination of nationaI resources and greater use of community 'instruments ane proposed as a means of impr.ementing this por.icy.

The committee on Energy and Research agrees u,,ith this anatysis but points out that the description of the community's energy probLems and the proposaLs for soLving them are much the same as the statements made by the commission over the Iast ten years. 'Ihe por.icy hitherto pursued cannot be described as a community energy poL.i cy. It is therefore difficult to betieve that the por.icy proposed in the report wil-t be a geruine poLi cy. The Counci I has often been criticized by the Commission f ori ts Lack of constructive action. The committee feets that the same criticism can now justif .i abLy be made of the commission: its report does not propose any specific action in respect of the energy poticy, meret.y vague dectarations of intent-

UnLike the commission, the comm.i ttee feeLs that on[y action programmes granted financiaI aid from the budget can be regarded as community polic.ies even though they may be fragmentary.'

Overatt, the faiture of the operation condemns the good intentions behind it. One must fear that the mandate papers wilL suffer the same fate as so nany other attempts to materiat[y reform Community poticy, i.e., to be quoted when the occasion suits but otherwise to remain a dead Letter.

The reasons for this - ie., the inherent contradict.ion between the mandate and the lack of a constructive response from the commi ss.ion - were already summed up by paolo BARBI on 1Z February 19g2:

'To correct, but not destroy, the only community poticy - the agr.i cuLturat policy propose - to new poticies and stilL not go beyond the ceil-inq of

22 1Z is impossib[e, rbecause of the contradiction which does not altow it'l as Dante wouLd sayt.

There being no Commission proposaI on the UK_Sgltf:bCt i on, ParIiament had no opportunity to format[y express its opinion. Since this centrat ( ) part of the mandate of 30 May Has not considered, the probtem of the united Kingdom's contribution t'las simpty left to the horse- trading within the Counci [, which ended in May 1982 with a decision to extend the arrangement for one year; s,e can therefore rest assured that matters wi[[ not end there.

The Commission virtuat[y stood and h,atched whi[e Member States pocketed the bqdgg!g!y_99y1!9Sz instead of using them to buiLd up other European poticies or to constitute a reserve, aLthough it shouLd be said in its defence that Partiament did not object toudty enough. The situation has changed in 1982, with savings from the Guarantee Section of the EAGGF being used to supptement structuraI poticies. However, the Councit refuses to adopt the necessary supplementary budget.

In the e9g9g!i9!-ngS9!lg!i9!g tith PortugaL and Spain the Commission's proposaLs for the agricutturaI sector are stitL ar.laited, which bodes 'i Lt for the accession date of 1 January 1984. ParIiament atready caIted on the Commission to submit to it a comprehensive report on the progress of the accession negotiations in its resolution of 19 November 1981 and again 'in its resoLution of 9 JuLY.

The Court of Auditors' criticism, taken up by Partiament in its report on the implementat'ion of lood-aid, shows up organizationat shortcomings in the commission- The report drawn up by Victor MICHEL (EPP-B) adopted in the June part-session on measures folLowing the resoLution of September 1980 on the ge4p919!-eS9l.n9!-bCtSgl-1!-!b9-!91!q. white acknow- Ledging the subsequent efforts made by the Councit and Commission, criticizes the fact that they feIt short of ParIiament's demands-

If Part iament decides for instance that the Commission ought to take proceedings against a Member State because of its poL'i cy of gCQgfdtZtng hgflfggllgfg-glqgl-Slggg (December and March part-sessions) or catts on it to withdraw a proposaI for a regu Lation because it contains provisions which infringe ParIiamentrs budgetary po]Jers (regutations on 9!9lgy: SgyilS and gglg!:llell9n_plgiggts at the ApriL part-session), no action is taken.

ZJ At .its March part-session Partiarent adopted a resotution on the basis of a highLy commended report by Johanna MAIJ-WEGGEN (EPP-NL) which cat[s on the Commission to submit a proposaI for a regutation !qq4j1g-1[pSl!9-91-!hg-- :!rnC_Sl_befp_9!d_hgqded-See!-pCp9; to date the Commission has not responded to this reouest.

The repeated assertions from the highest authority (Commission President THORN), that the Commission is not the CounciIrs secretariat (sic) but atso not Partiament's (hear, hearl) and the ctaim to represent 'second generat ion Europet (what is different about that?) shoutd cause one to stop and think-

This woutd not matter so much were it not for the fact that peopte forget if it were that the Commission is subject to Partiament's controI as Conrad SCHON (D) pointed out 'in the debate on the discharge: 'That is what ParIiaments h,ere invented for and that llas even why this ParLiament was direct[y etected, so that it might have a Legitimate right to perform 'its contr^oI function. That is not a question of institutionaL confIict but of what ue understand by democracy. You wiLI simpLy have to put up wi th it.'

The Eunopean Councit met on 26127 November 1981 in London, 29130 March and 28/29 June 1982 in Brussels.

Three wortd economic summits were atso held: from 20 to 26 JuLy 1991 in 0ttavla, 22/23 }ctobe r 1981 on the Mexican isLand of canc[rn (North-south relations, 14 devetoping countries took part ) and from 4 to 6 June 1982

'in Versai l- [es.

The frequency of these conferences confirms the Iink discovered by John Kenneth Ga[braith between worsening economi c probLems and the growth in the number of internationaL conferences. There is no sign of any sotutions at L!!gl0q!lg!g!_!Cy9! to the problems of hunger, indebtedness and unempLoyment, or at lommunjly Level for strengthening sotidarity and a more determined common approach to these very probtems.

The Eqtgpge!_!SCnSf!_SI_?8/?Z_NSyenb91 1981 , as was conceded by .its President, Mrs Thatcher, provided no answers to the mandate of 30 May proposaLs because foun basic issues remained unresoLved: the miLk market organi zation, Mediterranean agricuLture, expenditure on agri cutture as a proportion of overatI budgetary expenditure and budgetary measures to atleviate the 'unacceptabte situation' (financiat ouroen on a parti cuLar Member State).

ALthough the economic and sociaI situation uas discussed, no new European measures to combat unemployment or reduce production cosrs Here proposed.

No progress was made on dismantIing technicaL barriers to trade in orden to create a free internaI market: 29 proposaLs for directives, under which type approva[ (e.9., for motor vehicLes) by one nationaL authority woutd be considered sufficient for approvaI in the Community as a whote (instead of the current requi rement for approvat in the nine other frlember States), were not adopted by the Council.

An overaLL agreement on li9!9ljeg_p9!jgy, which woutd have ended the Long-running dispute once and for aLL, faiLed to materiatize.

25 The tradit.ion started by Mrs THATCHER, whereby the Head of Government of the country hotding the presidency of the Counci L reports personat[y to part.iament on the outcome of the European counci [, was continued on 21 ApriL by the BeLgian Prime Minister, h,itfried MARTENS. In his speech he focussed attent ion again to the probLems of investment (not enough of it) and empIoyment.

The European counci I gave the foItowing undertaking on youth unemptoyment : 'as a first step, the Member States woutd strive to ensure over the next five years that aLt young persons entering the labour market for the first time r,loutd receive vocationat training olinitiat work experience with.in the framework of speciaI youth schemes or contnacts of emptoyment.'

The demands for joint action, in the form of specific measures, as set out in the CASSANMAGNAGO-CERRETTI resolution of October 1981 on lSg]e! p9!i9y -pl19lt!t9! and in the BROK reso[ution of ApriL 1982 on yqg!! Ulg4plgy4gq!, are no nearer becoming reatity than they teere then.

Even the ECfSpeen-9ggD9!!-U-J.U!C-12q? produced no tangibte resu[ts: some terse comnents on employment, no word on ne!, Community poticies, no mention of a reorganization of agricutturaI poticy, sheLving of the GENSCHER/ COLOtvlBo Act on Eunopean Union. The dispute with the United States, panticutar[y ovef the naturaI gas pipetine deat with the USSR, raises not Least the quest ion of what the European Counci L did to minimize the damage bglgfg this deaI uas conc luded.

The BeLgian presidency of the Counci L from January to June 1982, in which tuo former Group members - Leo TINDEMANS as Foreign Minister and PauI de KEERSMAEKER as AgriculturaI Minister - played a prom'inent note, ach'ieved by far the best marks 'in Parliamentrs debate on the outcome of the p res i dency.

Not onty were the problems of agricutturaI pnices and the United Kingdom contlibut ion (atbeit onIy temporari [y) so[ved, the VersaiItes world economic summit conctuded with an agreement in principte to 'improve the coordination of economi c poIicy and an interinstitutionaI agreement neached on the ctassification of the budget and on controversiaI issues of procedure. frlore importantty, decisions were reached through the intettigent and courageous use of majority voting, as in th,. case of the agri cutturat

26 price pnoposals, the decisions on Poland and Argentina and the steet sector.

The fact rema ins, however, that atI this effort and endeavour has mereLy served to mainta'in Community business as usuaI wi thout ach.ieving any major breakthroughs. A major br^eakthrough, for instance, wouLd have been the adoption of measures to bring about the convergence of the economies, to strengthen the European Monetary System, to initiate financiaI reform, or to estabLish a genuine[y common energy, research and transport poIicy or the adoption of a European cata[ogue of measures to combat unemptoyment.

PaoLo BARBI rightly pointed out 'in the debate that six parity reatignments in three years were the r.esutt of the lack of a Community poticy vis-a-vis the doLLar, and that the Soviet Union was abLe to play off the Member States against each othen and the Community as a whote against the United States in the fietd of trade po[icy, because thene was no common Eurooean economic poticy.

Egan KLEPSCH described as inexcusabLe the reckLess manner .in which relations with the USA had been jeopardized and caLted for the setting up of a coordinated consuttation procedure, a demand which was endorsed by the BeLgian presidency.

Looking back over the year of Counci t meetings, the onLy real progress t.las the estabIishment of the Eunopean Foundation, but this was based on the TINDEMANS proposaI of 1975l At that nate, when wiLt parLiament'is demands on matters of cunrent importance be reatized?

It is not the beginning of summer-time but the end of summer-time which is different; in the United Kingdom and Iretand it ends in 0ctober and in the other Member states in September, and according to the counci I directive shoutd remain that way at least unti[ 1985.

As a compromi se ParLiament proposed the second Sunday in October, if onLy to satisfy one Labour member who had spoken of a 'fiendish olot, to steaI three weeks of EngLish summer-time.

27 The UK - quoting toosely from Jean MONNET - is a loyal partner, if it sits on the same side of the tabLe. You get the reputation of being a dif f icul,t partner if you negotiate for your own account and after your own fashion-

European poLiticat cooperation has achieved significant resuIts; in this case the partners are undoubtedly on the same side of the tabte, aLthough one might sometimes wonder - as in the case of the Fatk[ands - who has pull-ed whom on to their side.

As regards strictty European affairs - in spite of years of internaI wrangLing, in sp.ite of the referendum and regardLess of the current government majority - the United Kingdom stiLL seems to be uncLear whether it is working with or against the other membens of the Community.

one can appreciate to a certain eXtent the reason for its resistance to the proposed U!!1914-9!99!gfe!-pfS99!g19; majori tv voting is a tradition in the United Kingdom and the change to a proportionat system wouLd provoke a dramatic shift in the poLiticaI baIance.

Like Greece, the uK is not a member of the European Monetary system. It took a Brit.i sh conservative Member, Mr PURVIS, to demonstrate to his own country in a bril-Liant report on the Ert,ls* (debated in February 1982), the benefits being missed by the uK and by the other Member states as a resutt of its not jo.ining a zone of reLative monetary stabitity; better trading position, Iouer risk and costt; in forward currency deaLing, greater stabiLity of interest rates, advantages for British fishermen and farmers.

In this report Partiament catled for the setting up of an ]!dgpg!dgn! ECIgpCe!-qglI9!9y-AClhSIil.y with the fottowing tasks: (a) to issue and manage a European Currency Unit (ECU); (b) to prov.ide a means of sett Lement and a store of vatue for internationaL trade and i nve stment; (c) to maintain the stabiIity and good name, credibitity and creditworthiness of the ECU in its own right; (d) to foster the economi c grouth of European and the wett-being of its peopte; (e) to soonsor the voluntary adoption of the ECU by governments, businesses and .indiv.iduats, with the aim of it achieving uLtimatety LegaL tender status in atl Member States-

28 It arouses indignat ion that the British pursue a hard poLicy of nationat interest under cover of the unanimous voting system .in the counciL and agree to decisions with a European objective only as part of a package dea[. In the haggLing over the United K.ingdom's'contributionr (the word rcontribution' is a mi snomer, since the payments are actua[[y diverted from Community funds) the UKrs own desire for a rebate was tied to a stonewaLL- ing policy on agricutturaI prices - this happened in 19g1 and woutd aLso have happened in 1982 had the Betgian presidency, supported by a partiament resotution, not pushed through a ma jor.i ty decisjon.

The tone with which British demands are sometimes presented must aLso arouse indignation.

when the British rapporteur on the 1983 budget teLLs his Head of Government 'in an open Letter pubtished in The Times to 'take the FatkLands and BrusseLs tooli, it is scanda[ous that a community dispute shouLd be equated so readi Ly with an armed confLict, a war.

The aim of the community should be to seek common solutions designed to foster the weIL-being of the greatest number, instead of one Member state trying to wring maximum concessions from the others by force.

The objections of the British bureaucracy to measures which have Long since received generaL approvaI are whol,ty incomprehensibLe: the British authorities objected initiaLl.y to a uniform European passport, because they fe[t it t.las two miLIimeters too Laroe!

Now that it has finaIty been 'adopted, howeven, the Member States are aLtowing themsetves p[enty of time: it wi u. not be introduced untiL 19g5- CouLd this be a way of avoiding compIications for the next Eufooean elections? If the European passport is no more effective at internaI frontiers than the existing identity cards and passports, then it is a farce.

Part of the British media is atso doing its utmost to whip up anti- market feeting and does not shrink from making maLicious statements to achieve its purpose. For" instance, in a tel-ev.i sion fiLm and in newspapen artictes the European ParLiament has been depicted as a crowd of peopte who are interested onLy in lavish eating and drinking and pocketing huge amounts of taxpayers money. The British nespect for democratic institutions cLearLy does not incLude Europe. The famous British 'fair ptayr ought at least to exclude hitting betoh, the be[t.

Any sel.ection of specific items from ParIiament's activities during the year under consideration must inevitabLy be arbitrary. This industrious ParLiament has dealt uith a weal-th of topics, which are discussed in detaiL in the f ottowin'] sectoraL reports, and in putting down some 306 oral- questions, motions for resoLutions and entries in the register, (not counting amendments) the Group has made its poLiticaI objectives ctear-

The adoption of the sEITLINGER report (EPP/F) on a Qqql!-g!11918-9!99!9!g! plggggglg can certainly be counted a major success. The EPP and the Liberals aLt voted fot the resoLution; the EDP wouLd have preferred a simpLe proportionat voting system; of the Sociatists, the Labour Members voted against as did the majority of the Conservatives; the Communists abstained.

The resutt of the vote - 158 to 77 with 27 abstentions, shows that a person- aLized system of proport ionaI representat ion with muLti-member constituencies and adequate scope for enabting eLectorat LeEisLation in the Member States - uas the best that couLd be achieved. If the United Kingdom btocks this etectoraI system in the CounciL, (which is not untikeLy) it wiLL stitL be possibte to implement partiament's draft by having it incorporated directLy into the etectora[ [egis- lation of the other nine Member States.

In its debate of 6 Jul.y 1982 on the !919!q-91-!!9-II99!1.99 and the achievement gj_Egl9p9e!_Ul!gl, .in which over 40 speakers took part/ Partiament estabIished a starting point for the Community to deveLop into a stronger, more efficient entity and to move forward to a more advanced stage of integration; it adopted the resolution tabted by its Committee on Inst'i tutionaL Affairs by a resounding majority of 257 to 37 with 21 abstentions. Unfortunatety, the guestion of whether its reform proposaIs uritL become reaIity does not depend on Part iament aLone.

parliament .i s not a constituent assembty, it is not planning a revoLutionary act Like the French Nationat Assenbty af 1789. 0n the other hand, it is deter- m.ined to uphotd its right to propose a blueprint for a new Community constitut ionr attuned to the present state of advancement of the Community, commensurate with its chaLl-enges and opportunit ies, which uil-t do away with internaI contradictiorrs and arguments over powers, and pave the way for making the most of the Communit)" s pot ent iat.

30 But wiLL aLl- the Member States wish to take this oath? tJhat can be done if they do not?

An indication of the ansh,er to this question is given in the resotution tabLed by Sjouke J0NKER (NL) on behaLf of the Group during the institutionaI debate. Taking up a catL by the Group chairman, Mr BARBI, and recatLing simiLar statements by the Pnesidents of the Partiament, CounciI and Commission, this resotution caLts for the conveninS_91_9_!9!_U9991!9_99!19l9!99_!9_q9_h9!d_9!_!!e 9!d gl_1291 (the process of setting up the European Economi c Communi ty began at Messina after the faiture of the projected European Defence Community). The purpose of this conference ulou[d be to ascertain the extent of the Member Statesr commitment to European Union as it r,,,iLt have been defined by then by a majority of the European Parliament. Shoutd it become apparent in the process that one or more Member States are not in agreement, this woutd be reveated to aLl". The outcome ulould be not so much a 'two-tier Europer as an inner and an gglgl_ggqlgllly with differing degrees of integration and differing spheres of competence (aLthough European poLiticaI cooperation wouLd naturatty remain a responsibi tity common to atL) and the inner Community wou[d speak with one voice to the outer. The institut'ionat problems which this woutd raise shouLd not be insolubte. In the long run there is no point in tr"ying to force those who cannot be convinced to wear an integration rcorsetr when, aLthough they acknowtedge its beneficiaL effect they cannot get used to the way it pinches. 0n the other hand, the 'mini-integrationists' have no right either to prevent those who are ready to make progress from doing so-

The qlel!_Eglgpgg!_49! tabLed before ParLiament by Foreign Ministers GENSCHER and C0L0MB0 on 19 November 1981 has as its centraI objective the revitatisation of European poLiticat cooperat ion and the inctusion of security poticy. It is intended not as a draft treaty but as an intergovernmentat agreement. Further Counci Ls of Ministers are to be estabt ished as oant of the extension of the Community's powers, atthough their terms of reference are not specified. The proposats to Limit recourse to the 'Luxembourg compromiser (i.e. where a Member State prevents a decision by invoking its'vitaL interests') is to be weIcomed, but is not far reaching enough. Apart from the extension of the conciliation procedure to legaI acts which have no financiaL impIications (for which a Commission proposaL has aIready been submitted in any case), the proposaIs for increasing ParIiament's powers fa[[ short of their objective.

The working party set up under the BeLgian presidency of the Counci [, chaired by Mr de Schoutheete, has not yet compteted its work and so the fate of the GENSCHER-C0L0MB0 proposaI is sti[[ uncertain.

31 The proposaI for a draft treatv for the Ii!9!-9!gg9-9!-!!9-gl9g!igq-gl then Egrggsgn_lnion (Doc. 1-940181) tabted by the EPP Group in January 1982 and referred to the Committee on Institutionat Affairs goes much further than the GENSCHER-COLOMBo in.i tiative in both form and content. It is intended to be the draft of a partial gg!!!]!C!!9!, based on the following eLements:

- Iefqe!-Sfge!i9!-9l-Egl9g99!-q!19!, with the tesaI status of a fourth Communitv and a poLiticat umbreLta status covering the other Community Treaties (ArticLes 1 and 2)

- ConsoLidation of the position of the Eyfgpggn-lgg4ci! (Art'i cLe 3)

- Creation of !9!_9lp!Igl!-99!919 for the Union (Artictes 4 and 5)

- Prssedurc fsr-er!e!dtnS-!!9-p9!9I9-q1-!!9-Utign (Ar"ticLes 6 and 7). Since the nature of the powers of the European Union is stitI vague and as yet not precisety defined, there is room for an extension of the terms of re fe renc e of the Union under which powers may be tnansferred to the Union on a fede ra t basis in appropriate cases and according to the principLe of subsidiary !l!! rs-qviIr!e-!!9-9ppr9ve!-eJ-c!!-!!e-Ie!!er-!!s!ee

Provisions for extending the legisLative powers of the European Partiament (Artictes 16 to 18). Instead of calling for the European Parliament to be given a dominant roIe immediate[y in the LegisIative sphere, the dnaft treaty di stingui shes three phases:

An area in which ParIiament exercises precisety def -ined legistative pot/ers after consu[ting the Counci L, Artic[e 16 (the purpose of this measure is to reverse the existing procedure);

An anea in which something tike the present conciIiation procedure is appI ied, but where the CounciL has the finaI decision (Articte 17);

An area in which ParLiament may enact Legistation in ptace of the other organs in the event of their faiLure to act (Artic[e 18).

Procedures for harmonizing the Treaties r,lith a view to their uLtimate amatga- mation (Art ic le 21 ),

pLus provision for incorporating in them a set of financiaL ruLes.

32 The under[ying idea is to provide the ner^r Committee on InstitutionaL Affairs with a document which has a chance of being ratified before the end of the etectoraL period (a ratification procedure is necessary in any case for the forthcoming accession of Spain and portugal) and which may serve as a basic constitutionaL framework for the European union. rn its JuLy resoLution the Committee on Institutional Affairs expticit[y acknowtedged that a graduaI approach wwou[d be considered if a comprehensive draft were to prove unworkabte.

rhe motion on prtgtt!tss-19r-!!9_9999!g_bg!l_9I_!!s_g!99!9re!_p9rt9q initiated by Jochen van AERSSEN (EVP/D) and tabLed by the Gnoup in May 1982 pursued another objective. This is a programme of projects coordinated with Christian- Democratic groups in nationaI parLiaments which the t'roup is determined to see carried out by the end of the present partiament. A framework of this kind is both necessary and beneficia[; the time when the community made the greatest progress was when the programme taid down by the Treaties for the 12 year trans- itionaL period had to be carried out. Fitting progress towards potiticaL integration into a timetab[e provides the incentive needed for decision-making and a yardstick against which to measure success or faiture.

One institutionaI prob[em has been swept under the carpet: on 23 February 1982 the Community decreased in size, when a lg!glg!dC4_l!_glgg!!g!d resuLted in a majority in favour of Ieaving the Community. Admittedl-y, the potiticaI retations between Denmark and GreenLand are a special case. But if this exampte sets a trend, what is there to stop anothen region of a Member state deciding to with- drau from the community if it fee[s so inclined and how ought the community to react?

The growing number of internationat fLashpoints in 1981 /82 made it more important than ever for ParLiament to debate matters invotving European potiticat cooperation: Potand, the Fatklands, Turkey, Afghanistan and the MiddLe East being the main areas discussed.

Not surprisingLy it was precise[y these subjects which Led to the strongest .i aLtercations with the Left in ParLiament. 0nty with great dif f cuLty was a common position reached with the Sociatists- condemning the imposition of martiaL Lau in Poland (Decenber part-session); certal- 3t.!.r j:t speakers in the debate wouLd not accept the Soviet Uniont s responsibi L.ity for these events, exto[led the virtues of d,6tente and confusing cause and effect cLaimed that Partiamentrs interference was contributinq to the CoLd blar.

33 TheextremetyobjectivereportonlgllgzbyKai-UwevonHASSEL(EPP/D) which balanced on the one hand the ci rcumstances teading up to the mititary takeover (poLiticat terrori sn, 5,200 dead, fai[ure of the poLitical parties), and, on the other hand, the continuing restriction of human rights, the per- secution of trade unionists and poLiticians, and which conveyed a grave warning to the Turkish trans'itionaI government, was not radical enough for the Left' consequentLy it was adopted onty by 105 to 100 votes. The Left woutd obviousty have oreferred to terminate the Community's association agreement l{ith Turkey, thereby putting an end to att hopes of a return to democracy with the Community's assistance.

In the debate of 17 June 1982 on the {!dQte-Eg9! it ||las not the condemnation of IsraeLi intervention in Lebanon which caused controversy but the interpretation of the factors l-eading up to it: the undermining of the Lebanese State through external pressure and the existence of the PLO as a state within a state. The motion tabted by the SociaLists (not adopted) referred not to the withdrawaL of aLt non-Lebanese forces, but onLy of the IsraeIi forces.

The SociaIist InternationaL singl.ed out the 9clycdgrgn christian-Democratic poLitician, NapoLeaon DUARTE, and his party as the targets for their accusations of r.ight-wing Fascism, despite the fact that the Iand reform and other economi c poticy measures introduced by him prove the contrary. The eLections of 28 March 1982 were described by their Pnesident BRANDT (Soc/D) as a'farce'and subsequentty aS rsham etections', atthough three-quarters of the voting popuL- ation turned out to vote in spite of intimidation and use of force by Left-wing revotutionary gueri Ll-as. The Sociatist Party in EL SaLvador must bear part of the b[ame for the death totl there, since it withdrew from the at[iance with the Chr-istian Democrats and did not stand for eLection, thereby abandoning a possibIe chance for peacefuL reform in coLIaboration with the Christian Democrats.

Parliament adopted resoLutions on the Eg!!!gnd: conftict on 22 Apri L and 12 nay 1982. In both texts Partiament based its position on UN Resotution No. 502, caLLing for an end to hostiLities and the immediate withdrawaL of atL Argentinian troops from the Fatkl-and IsLands and approving the embargo on imports from Argent ina and the ban on exports of arms to Argentina (untit these demands had been met).

The May resoLution was adopted despite opposition from the Left (131 votes to 97, with 11 abstentions), because the Sociatist 6roup had proposed a text which catLed for an immediate cease-fire and an internationaI negotiated solut ic,n invotving supervision and a United Nations peace pLan,

34 One is bound to mention that even in the EPP Group there wefe those who feLt that the British Government in stepping up hostitities had ptaced too great a strain on community sol,idarity. Andr6 DILIGENT (EPPIF) drew the onty possib[e conCLusion from this in an articte: 'Europe needs a common externaL poL.i cy. Every initiative which invotves the soLidarity of the other States requi res the prior approval of a Community body.'

ParLiament took a stand on the situation in {lg!g4!9!g! on 16 June 1982, adopt ing a resotution which ptedged support to the Afghan peop[e in its struggLe for Ijberation and proposed poLiticaI and economic sanctions against both the government in KabuL and the USSR. The majority of the sociaLists voted against; the German SociaList HANSCH justified this in an exp[anation of vote saying that there trras no proof of the use of chemicat L,eaoons and that one shou[d not interfere with the organization of Afghan resi stance.

0n 18 November 1981 Parliament adopted the DILIGENT report on the el9!99!]9! gl-:!fpgilg-I9g!g!, against opposition from the Left- The report proposes coordinated European action to protect vitaL European suppLy Iines from Africa and the Persian Gutf - The German SociaIist HANSCH justified his Group's vote against the motion by, among other things, the aLmost LaughabLe ctaim that the majority voting for the reoort wanted to rebui Ld a fteet as a means of aLLeviating the steeI crisis.

In the fieLd of lgrc:gn_clIcirs the growing tension between the community and the United States gives cause for concern.

In princip[e one shouLd not hoLd it against the Americans if they exert economic pressure to achieve their potiticaI goa[s, as Long as they do so by Iegitimate means .

It was predictabLe that the g3:-P1p9!1!9-99!!Ig9!9 between certain Member States of the Community and the USSR woutd come under fire from America. A deaL with such economic and poLitical repencussions woutd have been easier to justify had it been concl,uded by the Community and not by individual Member States; at the same time this couLd have formed the starting point for a genuinety common energy supP[Y PoticY. Since this was not the case, it seems Hrong to attempt not,|l to provoke a bloc reaction from the Community. The Community shoutd not be the wh ipping-boy suffering for the resu[ts of individuat poIicies by the Member States-

35 The Levying of countervaiLing duties on iEpgI!:-91_g!99!_lISI_Egl9p9 by the Americans r.ras also predictabLe. As earty as February 1982 there was a debate in ParLiament after which it was announced that American steeL producers had fiLed dumping suits. Once again the Community is in a difficuLt position because it has been unabLe to monitor the mass of nationaL subsidies for steeL producers, Let aLone to aboIish them. The Americans have used these nationaI subsidies as a stick to beat the Europeans, considering them as merely parts of a common European steeL policy. The accusations of American protectionism L,ou[d be easier to justify if the Europeans themseIves had a c Iearer conscience.

The weak-kneed reaction by the CounciI on the question of ggpegl!_Ig! 4gglfSgn_ggglgl]g_gglgllons against the USSR because of the imposit'ion of martiaI Law in Poland did not improve matters. Apart from the general issue of the use- futness of externaL economic measures in achieving foreign poticy objectives, such reactions onty have any point if they can be seen to have been taken in earnest. The Iist of banned imports adopted by the Counci L was certainty not appropriate, since it inctuded onty tuxury goods and represented onty a minute percentage of imports from the USSR.

It may be true that the current difficutties with the USA are simply a 'famiLy squabb[e'. But soLidarity is not a one-way street and therefore the undertying discord must be anatysed very carefuL[y and the opportunity taken to bring about a change - by the Community itsetf. It is not exactty an advertise- ment for progress tor,rards European unification to start a fight with oners best friends. rhe adoption of the lillb_qttgS!ive (on the g1,ggg1,g19_91_!h9_!r!l!Cd_99ppe!y e!d_!be_p9!Cll_etd_9b!tSe!i9lq_91_t!g_9lSqn!) shouLd be stressed as the cuLmination of a ten-year period of consuttation in the Legal Affairs Committee of the oLd, directLy etected Partiament. Since this concerned basic aspects of poLicy on the European company and company Iaw - empLoyee participation, structure of the board of management, etc. - to become binding under nationaL LegisLation exhaustive treatment was futLy justified. (For detaiIs see the comprehens ive account in Section III - LegaL Affairs Committee).

The soLution adopted aims at equatity of treatment rather than fuIt harmonization: fortunatety, the Commission shares ParIiament's standpoint aLmost 'in its entirety. Coordinat.ion of provisions for the protection of companies

36 or third parties under nationaL company Law is an eLementary precondition for the openation of the Common lvlarket and the sociaI gearing of economi c l-if e. The matter is atL the more pressing in that the Seventh Directive on the 99n99!1de!9d bglqlge_gfeet (J976 proposa[), the Eighth Directive on the q4nle!-eggggn!9 (1978 proposat) and the Statute of the EUfepgen-lsmpany (1970 proposal) have stilL not been adopted by the Counci L.

The efforts to !199_!!9_l.n!9!ng!_qglket from the strangle-hol-d of fiscaI and administrative red tape, to faciLitate the freedom of movement of individuals, to do away with the endLess queues at internat frontiers and the increase in the cost of goods just because of the formaIities at border crossing points, which is estimated at 5 to 7% (a marvetLous bonus vis-6,-vis the comoetiton on the other side of the border and sanctioned by the authorities too!) at tast seem to be bearing some fruit. The Commission has f inall-y made good its promise in the mandate of 30 May papers and submitted a communication in Jul-y 1982 concerning the strengthening of the internat market based on f ive proposats for decisions, reguLations or directives. These provide for the abotition of identity checks, simplification of customs formaIities and in particuLar the deferred payment of the turnoven tax payable on imports so that it can be decLared in the normal way in the periodic tax returns.

31 Even the Community man-in-the-street reatizes how important it is to retieve economi c and commerciat deaIings of the burden of frontier bureaucracy. The experiences which a normaL individuaL sometimes has to endure are epitom- ized in the foItowing true story:

Miche[, a citizen of the Community, decides that he t"louLd tike to paint his brown garden fence sky-btue and he knows that some 7 ki Lometeres ab,ay in the neighbouring state (which is friendly because it is a member of the Community) there is a factory which setIs good quatity paint of every hue, and (more important[y) it is 10% cheaper there. He sets off happi Ly in his car and buys the paint which, because of the tength of the fence, amounts to slightLy more than the duty-free amount of 180 EUA. This is a probtem because, after al[, he cannot simpty make the fence shorter. He sets out for home and arrives at 6.15 p.m. at the border. The customs officer sees straight away with his eag[e eye that here is a situation which cat[s for officiat action and he asks for the import papens. Our naive friend was not aware that import papers !'tere necessary- He is to[d he must obtain the forms (in 8 copies) from a customs agency. NaturaLty, the Iatter has to be paid for its services, r,rhi ch probabIy canceIs out any saving he may have made by buying the cheaper product. In fact atl our MicheI needs are the forms and the customs' tariff number and dutiabte vaLue; the rest he is abLe to comptete himseIf. However, the customs officer wiLl not give him these tr"ro necessary pieces of information. f4ichet admits defeat and decides to caLI upon the services of the agency, which by nour is ctosed. The customs officer consotes him: even if it b,ere open the goods coutd not be cLeared through customs, because the retevant office has aLso ctosed in the meantime. He rejects with indignation the suggestion that Michet shoutd be given transit papers so that the remaining fornratities may be compteted back home. The goods cannot cross the border untiL the import tax has been paid. Michet asks timidty whether the paint can be teft there untiI the next day but the customs have no storage facitities for that purpose. His offer to paint the exterior of the customs buiLding (since he is unab[e to do anything eLse with the paint,) is noted as incitement to deface public property. Hot.l citizen Michel, managed to extricate himseLf from this diLemma is not knoun, It is highty Likety that his fence has sti[[ not been painted sky-btue and that he has turned into a stone monument at the border as a warning to others.

< l,t 0n 6 May 1982 the EPP Group hetd a demonstrat ion in Aachen-vaals, the meeting point of the French, German and Nethertands borders, under the motto 'Eglggg-gilhgg!-hell]g!9', in which weIt over 1,000 Dutch, BeLgians, Luxembourgers and Germans took part. This massive pubLic support can and witI win the day over the costLy and pointless anachronism of internat frontiers - this is a cause supported by the entire Group and inctudes among its indefatigabte champ ions Karl von [,0GAU, 0tto von HABSBURG, Konlad SCHoN' Lambert CRoUX, Harry NoTENBo0M, N.i coIas ESTGEN, Kurt I|IALANGRE, otmar FRANZ and many others (see atso the report of the Committee for Economi c and Monetary Affairs).

Convincing proof of the need for and the effectiveness of parIiamentary controI of administration and of the importance of meeting responsibilities to the European taxpayer isprovided in the work of the !900i!!eg-9n-9Cd99!ery-Contle! under its cha irman, He inri ch AIGNER (EPP/D) -

- In the dgffy_pgglSl the stricter and more market-oriented budgetary management recommended by the Committee on Budgetary ControI has resuLted in savings to the consumer running into miLIions. The committee's efforts have aIso produced positive resutts in other areas such as food aid, research poLicy, and the organi zat i on of internaI controts.

- Both the discharge procedure and the use of ad hoc checks have enabled the committee to correct irregularities and abuses. It has taken systematic steps to improve measures to gg[bq!_llgg! against the EEC budget. There have been numerous cases of ef f ect ive savi ngs.

- Hhen in November 1980 the Commission announced O-bLghCl-Ie!9-91-clpgl!-IgJund! JSI-bg!!gf, a transaction by the French exporter Doumeng, specuIating on saLes of 25,000 tonnes of butter to the uSSR, was hatted at the instigation of the committee- The resultant savings were put at 'l 2 miLtion EUA'

- ParLiamentary controt of the lspfg-Eg:gqfgh-!9nll9 has had a positive effect on budgetary managements. one such effect has been quite spectacuLar: Commissioner DAVIGNON has reduced the number of officiat cars in Ispra by one third' The committee has atso ensured that a much more carefuI attitude to representation and mission aItowances no$, prevaiLs in the Commission and in ParIiament itsetf.

39 CONCLUS IONS

The Commun ity is stitL far from having exploited its fulI potential.

Instead of giving t.ray to the tendency to tatk of crises in general and in particutar - the crisis of the atomic threat, the danger of war, cris.i s in the Middte East, crisis in the FatkIands, worLd economic crisis, unemptoyment crisis,, crisis in economi c retations t.lith the USA, crisis of protectionism, financiat crises in the Third and Fourth trJor[ds, crisis on the internationaI capitaI markets, monetary crises, energy crisis, environment cri sis, raw materiats crisir; and so on - fJestern Europeans should remember the courage which has given them their setf-confidence. The fact that European unification is marking time is due to a mutual loss of confidence, that is the ggg!_g1!gig and the only one. It can be ascribed to a Loss of setf-confidence, despite the fact that the Community enjoys a hitherto unequaIted standard of Livinq.

Just imagine the immense dynamic force which the Commun.ity .is capabl_e of unteashing by cneating a genuinety free intefnaI market, by establishing a Community currency which etiminates exchange losses in internaL trade, through an externaI monetary poLicy which wou[d give the Community the same standing in internationat monetary affairs as the uSA, by pooting nat'ionaI research and development policies or by supporting the industries of the future on a Community' basis.

The community shoutd see its vocation not so much as one of adding new European bureaucratic hurdles to the existing nationaI ones, but rather one of making unnecessary nat'ionaI bureaucracies obsotete: an approach which has atready been embarked upon with admirabte tenacity by the European court of Justice.

The recipe for combating unemployment is not to take money from the tess uett-off Member states and un[oad it on those which are harder hit under the auspices of dubious empIoyment schemes (usuaLty the money is Left at the Finance Ministerrs door, which is then ctosed to keep out the inquisit.ive gaze of those who wonder how it is to be used). This is tantamount to redistribut.ing unemployment from one Member" State to another and is a caricature of the efforts to achieve European convergence.

No. what is needed is to cLear away the waste that is bureaucraticaLty enshrined in the wetfare state, to open the botttes f.i rml-y sealed by the state

40 r,lhich contain the unactivated ingredients for Europe's prosperity of tomorrow, to reduce the rewards for conformism and faint-heartedness and to orovide greater opportunities for Eunopean taLent_

A European reawakening aLso needs a new [anguage. If European fai r.ings are be to debated in the open then the btame for them has to be put at someone,s door- There is no point in not naming the Member states and the individuals concerned when they have something to be reproached for - this appr.ies equar_ty partiament, to the debates of commission and councit. Less speechifying and more action is caIted for.

In the Last ana[ysis what matters is that we put fLesh on the bare frame of new a idea[ u,ith which a[t can identify and be proud to say ,civis Europeus sumr.

46 A third major subjecg for which an EPP Member was appoinied rapPorEeur, the situation in the l4iddle EasE, r.ras blought up on several occasions by !1r PENDERS (I) in the Political Affairs Committee. Mr PENDERS felt thaE Europe should provide a logical follow-up to the Camp Davio Agreements in the lliddle East. In his view the PLo should recognize lhe exrstence of lhe State ot Israel. and Israel should recognize Ehe PLO as the sPokesman for the Pales- t.inians.

AE the initiatrve of Mr SCMLL, represenEatives of the EPP Group, the European Democratic Group, the Liberals, and less frequently members of other groups, have met informally as a security inEergroup during each part- session in SErasbourg. The purpose of these meetings is Eo provide muEual informaEion on group initiatives on security matEers, Eo discuss relations to be established with the WIIU Assembly in Paris and Eo follow developments in the drafting of the general rePort to be submitt.ed Eo the Political Affairs commiltee by I1r IIAAGERUP (Lib'-DK) on aII these matters' The Political Affairs Committee has t.wice heard defence exPerEs: in London, in December 1981, specialisEs from the International InsEitute for StraEegrc Studies (IISS) and in Brusselis, in April L982, a rePresentative from Ehe Norwegian lnstitute for straEegic Studies (srPRr) PresenEed widely differing views.

The argumen! as to wnether the European Parli-arnenE is compeEent or noE for ma!Eers of defence reached its climax in I9El when the l-tiJ-rgent rePorc on surveillance and protecEion of shippints rouEes for suPPlies of energy and strategic materials for Ehe countries of Ehe ComnuniEy(2) was discussed.

The motion for a resolution tabled by Mr KLEPSCH on behalf of Ehe EPP, Ehe chrisEian-Democratic, Liberal and Italian Communists groups(1) aE Ehe siccing of 19 Novernber l98l clarified the EPP polit.ical supporC for the accession negoEiaEions under way. t"lr LUCKIIR (Epp-D) and Mr LIGIOS (EPP-I) puE the group's point of view, which was EhaE Ehe CommuniEy snould make a special effort to provide the best conditions for the accession of the Eiro counEries, but should not underestimate Ehe cosEs of Ehis thi-rd enlargement, which should noE be to Ehe detrimenC of the southern regions of che CommuniLy. The sub3ecE cropped up again aE lhe July 198'2 part-session: following an oral question by Mr DIANa (EPP-f) to the Commission and a resolution( 2), the EPP called for the Ewo accession deadlines Eo be met buE expressed concern EhaE unless EerriEorial exEension of the CommuniEy were accompanied by a corresponding sErengEhening of ius functioning and policies of solidaricy, the Communityts homogeneity and effecliveness could be endangered.

The PoliEical Affairs Committee also had the oPPorEunity to deal with Che subjecr of conscienrious objecLors (4) (opinion drafted by l{r VAN DEN HEUVEL)' Ehe scope of which v/as so resEricted by Ehe amendment tabled by Mrs LENZ and others Ehat the rapporCeur finalLy withdreqt his reporE.

In a desire to increase awareness by exEending the number of European symbols, Parliament adopted a reporE by !1r FERGUSSON (I) at it.s July 1982 parE-session calling for a synbolic empEy seaE in tne European Parliament to represent the fact that free Europe would welcome the eventual accession of European peoples under Soviet dominat ion.

IV. InsEituEional mat Eers

The work of the Political Af fai.rs Cornmitf ee and its subcommitree on institutional problerns chaired by I"1r DILIGENT was reflect.ed in Ewo reporEs adopted at the part-sessions of December 1981 and February 1982 respecrively. the report by Mr ANTONIOZZL on the role of the l;"rope"n parfi relations with Ehe E"ropg=.@il (2) and the report by Mr BLUMENFELD on t.he role of the European ParlianenE in the negotiaEions and ratification of Treaties of accession and of oEher Treaties and agreements becween lhe European Community and third countries (3).

These tr4to documents complete Ehe series of inter-institutional resolutions aimed at furthering the construcEron of lhe CoNnunity in accordance with the Treaties. ParliamenE thus has a detailed programme for negot.iating with the Council and Ehe Commission various amendments that will improve the functioning of the Corutrunity and sErengthen Ehe role of the European parliament. IE should be borne in mind that t.he CommiEtee on Institucional Affairs \ras see up in January 1982 (see separate chapter) to dra$r up proposals that came outside the scope of the existi-ng treaEies. The approach by Ehe PoliEical Affarrs Commitlee is different but complemenfary. It believes that considerable progress can be rnade by exploiting the ext.ensive unrecognized potential of the Treaties. Thus on 20 ocEober l98l it decided to exEend the Eerms of reference of irs subcommittee on inscitutional problems and call it the subcommittee on the application of the instituEional provisions of the TreaEies, following the report by its chairman, llr DILIGENT(4). The subcornmittee, on which EPP

52 members Mr ANTONIoZZI, l'1r IIAPSBURG, Mr CROUX (EPP-B) and I'1r ESTGEN (EPP-L) have seags, met on 22 l4arch 1982, 19 May 1982 and 21 June 1982' The subcommitlee has sEudied a moEion for a resolution t.abled by Mr ANTONIOZZI on the implenenEaEion of Ehe resoluEions on instiEutional matEers adopted by Ehe Political Affairs Cornmigtee and !he-!'rre Parliament (l) and adoPted four drafE conventions drawn up on the basis of Ehe ins!ituEional resoluEions already adopted by ParliamenE thaE can form lhe basis for negotiation vtiEh the council and the commission. I"1r ANDRIESSIiN, Chris E ian-DemocraE ic commissioner responsible for insti-tucional mat.ters, has addressed the subcommittee. In other words, Ehe subcommiEtee has been insErucced by the PoIi!ical Affairs Committee Eo ensure EhaE instituEional resolutions adopted by ParlianenE do not become a dead leEter buE are the subject of continuing consultation between Ehe ins E r Eut ions .

olicical cooperation, i.e. the search for and applicacion of a of collunon foreign policy was strengEhened on 12 october 198,1 when the council Foreign l"linisters adopEed ihe London rePort' In a desire Eo involve parliamenE in Ehe creaEion of this rnechanism, Mr KLEPSCH on behalf of the EPP tabled an oral question (2) on 18 November l98l asking for further infonnaEion had on the scope of Ehe London Agreements. At rhe s arne sicling Members also Ehe opporEunity fo hear Uhe tr'/o auEhors of a proposal for a revival of the European union, Mr }lans Dietrich GENSoHER, Minisrer of Foreign Affairs of FRG, and !1r Ernilio coLoMBo (cD), ltinisrer of Foreign Affairs for Italy, explaining Ehe gist of their iniciarive. As Ehis iniuiarive cannoE be allowed to remain at Che level of inter-goverrunenEa I drscussion, Parliament decided Eo ask ics PoliEical Affairs commitgee Eo draw uP a rePor! on the subjecE. on 24 June 1982 the Conmittee appoinEed Mr CROUX raPPorEeur' The EPP Ehus has sErategic levers in the ParliamenE Lhrough which ic can exPress rEs insLicut.ional convictions aE Ehree levels of discussion: - Mr RWOR, chairman of lhe PoliEical Affairs ConmiEEee, and l,1r DILIGENT, chairman of ghe subcommittee on the applicaEion of the ins g i Eut iona I provisions of the Treaties, are working towards furEhering

ins c i uut. iona I re IaE rons under t.he TreaEres. - Mr CROUX has been insEructed Eo dra\,/ up proposals expLaining Parliament' s poinE ol view on EuroPean union.

To rhis short outline, which demonstrates Ehe chri s E ian-Democ raE ic cormnitmenE to the political and democraEic work of parliamen! beEneen septenber 1981 and July 1982, should be added Ehe appoinrment of Mr pENDERS bv the working Party on Human Rights as rapporteur for Ehe annual reporE on human rights in the signaEory counEries of Ehe convention of Lom6, and that of l4rs LENZ as rapporEeur within the same working party for the Middle East and African countries which are not signnatory countries.

Lastly' as Belgium held the presidency of the commission for the first half of 1982, the Political Affairs committee had che opporEunrty to hear Mr Leo TINDEMANS (Cl) Uinister of Foreign Affairs and Presidenr-in-Office of PoliEical cooperalion on t.hree occasions: on 27 January L9g2 and 26 ltay L9g2 as part of rhe diplomaLic colloquiums, and on 23 March l9g2 at his request on topical international matters such as Turkey, poland and central America. I"1r TINDEMANS also provided valuable information on the Falklands crisis, on which ParliarnenE adopEed a position during its April l9g2 parr-session and condemned Argentinian intervenEion.

f4 COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTI'RE

The European ParliamenEts CommiEtee on Agriculfure can claim to have had a reasonably successful year beEween July 198l and July 1982.

Some significant achievements have been made in furthering Ehe development of Ehe conrmon Agricultural Policy (CAP). In particular tne committeers CD members can cite a number of important. decisions Eaken by Parliamenf which began as initiatives. It has also been possible, thanks agaln partly to the efforts of the EPP Group, to dispel the ldea Ehat the CAP is a drain on lhe Cornmunity's resources which is holding uP Ehe develoPment of other policies.

The successes of last year do not, however, Justify any self-congratula!ion. The problems still outstanding, Particularly with regard to Lhe Communi-tyrs future southern expansion, are in such urgent need Of a soluEron that the commitEee cannot afford to rest on its laurels.

1. Chanees in orsanizational sEructure

Last year saw some changes in organization and in membership which affected boEh the Cornmittee on Agriculture and the Group'

The reappointment of coumitEees half-way through this Parliarnent brought some advantage to .the CD Group as far as lhe CommigEee on Agriculture was concerned. This 45-rneniber committee now has 13 Christian-Democratic MEPs as full members and 11 as substitutes. The EPP has resPected Ehe balance of interests between individual membel countries on farmi.ng matters. With the excepEion of Luxembourg, and Ieaving aside the United Kingdom which does not have any EPP MEPS, all the l"lember staEes are rePresenEed by members of our group in the comni!tee.

The election of the new chairman has, however, to be greeted with cautious optimisrn. The successor to Sir Henry PLtn'lB (ED/GB) is a member from the same group : David CurrY (ED/GB) He was elect.ed chainnan of the CorunitEee on AgriculEure only in che second round and wiEhout obEaining an absoluEe majority, which shows Ehat the former Financial Times journalist who presents himself as a rzealous reformer of European farm policy along British linesr may nor alEogeEher be represenEaEive of the najoricy of Ehe cornmitcee. IE is thus all the more impor:Eant for work on agriculcural policy tha! Ehe cwo Christian-Democracic vice-chairmen, Isidor FRiiH (EPP/D) ancl Arnaldo COLLESELLI (EPP/I), were confirrned in office.

1.2 Changes in the working group and the working party

Day-to-day work is considerably more affecEed by sEruccural and membership changes in the working party and lhe working group.

The representatives of Ehe lhree conniEEees - budgers, budget.ary conlrol and agriculture - rnaking up Working Party C are in a good posicion to see hort work is progressing. The Working Part.y witn chairman Horsr LANGES (EPP/D) and vice-chairman Teun TOLI'IAN (EPP/NL) was able co submj.E some well-prepared proposals to the Group, r.riEh a view !o Ehe debaEes on Ehe budge! and agriculEural prices.

Joachirn DALSASS (EPP/I) was appointed as Ehe new chairman of the Working Group on AgriculLure. Coming from the South Tyrol, he is well able to bring together Ehe int.erescs of the norchern parE of Ehe Communily with Ehose of ils I"lediterranean member counEries.

2. CommuniE ricul Eural budgec f9E2( I and su lemenEa budgeE f98f(2)

The debate on agriculEural expenditure in Ehe 1982 budget Eook pLace under very special circumstances.

The quesEion of rising agriculEural expendiEure is always raised at lhis time, buE on Ehis occasion Ehe speakers from lhe Committee on Agriculture were able Eo say tha! Ehe requirement set in Ehis budget for a relaEively lower increase in Guarantee Fund expendiEure in lhe guaranEeed fund as compared wiEh the rise in Ehe total budgeE had been me!.

( 1)Doc. 1-826/8r; r-860/81 (z)Doc. r-827 /8t|' r-857l8I

56 The appropriations necessary for the agricultural sector were defended with vehemence by the cD spokesmen on farm Policy: Isidor FRiiH, Paul DE KEERSMAEKER (EppiB), Alfredo DIANA (EPP/I), Olivier D'ORI'IESSON (EPP/F) and l4ark CLINTON (EPP/IRL). They poinCed ouE thaE Ehe apParent toP-heavy nature of agriculEural expenditure was in fact a demonstration of a Political inabiliEy to develoP other pol ic ies.

ghis The two supplementarY budge t s for 198I were quoEed as proof of since they had become necessary because of the considerable savings nade in the

EAGGF Guarantee Sec E ion.

The greater part of these savings were not used for oEher policies. AE Ehe end of Ehe year they were made available to the llember states to finance Eheir budgetary def icits.

one significant example \{as the co-responsibility levy on miIk. only half of the farmerst levy, which had been earmarked for specific PurPoses' was in fact used for measures to exPand Ehe market' A number of CD members of the be commitEee on Agriculture therefore demanded Ehat Ehe unused resources carried over to 1982.

A similar trend is becoming apparenL in Ehe current financial year 1982. The supplernent.ary budget 1982(r) is based on a 500 miltion ECU saving in the Guarantee Fund. The first debate on this subject in the plenary - the rePorE

par!-session in Strasbourg. riculEure on the Priorities for the 1983 bud et(3) pointed Eo PosiEive vtith development.s which seemed Eo jusEify c aut ious opEimism for lhe future regard !o future f luc tuac lons in world market prices and the dollar crisis.

3. Price poI icY

Because the Commission rras late in making its subrnission, the debate on the asricultural price prolo!e1!-lelf2-9!|!l(4 ) did not really get under way uncil February L982.

(1) coM(82) 330 - DE (2) Doc. L-477/82 (3) PE 77.736 (4) Doc. 1-1033/8r (coM(82) r0) 51 A cornprehensive working documen! on the agricultural price proposals for f982l83(1) was submitEed by the rapporteu! appointed by the CommiEEee on AgriculEure, David CURRY. He did not succeed in gaining the suppolE of the Committee on Agriculture for his proposal for an average price increase of l0Z. The majority came ouE in favour of the 14% increase proposed by llark CLINTON. AfEer the adopEion of a number of furcher amendment.s puE forward by CD members in the CommitEee on Agriculture, a motion for a resolution(2) on the agriculEural price proposals was submiEEed to Ehe House on behalf of ghe CommiEtee on AgriculLure which to a large extent. followed Chris t ian-Democ raE ic agriculcural po l icy.

The debaEe in che House (24-26 March 1982) was similiarly successful from the EPP Group's point of view. The European Parliaroent endorsed Ehe CornmitLee on AgriculEurets proposals concerning the average price increase and the most import.ant accompanying measures. The agriculEural representaLive and CD Group spokesman, Teun TOLMAN, rnade it clear thaE the EPP fully supporced the commit.Lee proposal to take measures Eo counEeracE the fall in farmersr incomes. An increase in prices of. 14% offered a fair compromise beEween Ehe demand by the professional organizaEions (16.3%) and t'he 9Z proposed by Ehe Commission, which was worried by the size of agricultural expendiEure. The compromise package, which consisted of a lower price increase in Ehe cereal sector, a cut ardfor a differentiaEion in the co-responsibilicy Ievy in Ehe case of milk produced by farnil-y businesses and a relatively higher price increase for Mediterranean products, should noE encounEer any insuperable problems in Ehe budget.

The agriculfural price proposals and Lhe debate need Eo be seen in relaEion Eo Ehe decision on Ehe Commissionrs proposals on Ehe rMandate of 30 May 1980r. During the negoEiations, and while Che Council of Ministers was finding it impossible co Eake a decision, discussion of the Mandate was increasingly pushed to one si-de. This subjecc is dealE wich in a separaEe chapEer in chis reporg.

(r) PE 77.L40 (2) Doc. L-30/82

58 No account of Ehe voEe on Ehe agriculfural price proposals f.or 1982183 should overlook fhe posifive coopera!ion which Eook place beCween the EPP Group and Ehe LiberaLs and Ehe EPD Group. This cooperation had begun with a joint conference organized by Ehe Brussels branch of the Konrad Adenauer FoundaEion for Ehe members of the CouuniEtee on Agriculture belonging Eo the three political groups ot 2/3 December 1983 on the subjecc of 'ConcerEed action on adjusEmenEs t.o Ehe Common Agricultural Policy'.

NotwiEhsganding fhe European ParliamenE's opinion, which had been

delivered within Ehe E iroe limits, some furEher political efforts were necessary before Ehe new agricultural prices wiEh an average increase of 10.4% were inEroduced.

The rnajority decision taken by Ehe Council of l{inisters should be seen as a success for Che Ehen Presideng-in-Qffice and our former Group colleague, Paul DE KEERSMAEKER. Incensive contacCs with him, and also the resolution tab led Joachim DALSASS on behalf of the EPP gg on the failure to take a decision on agriculEural prices(1), which r.tas adoPted with a large majority Lll t,he House, prepared Che vray for chis significanE rnajority decision for Lhe CAP.

4. Policies in individual sectors

In addition to a number of iurporEanE decisions on llediterranean Producls which are dealE with in a separat.e reporE, one rePorE which should be menEioned here is the one on aid for hoP producers drawn up by Reinhold BOCKLET (EPP/D)(2). The rapporEeur, who is well acquainted wiEh che probleos of the hop markeE, considered that Ehis sysEem of aids for Ehe l98l harvest, Eogether wiEh some support for conEract culEivaEion, does offer a means of stabilizing hop producerst incomes.

(r) Doc. L-236182 Q) Doc. I-413/82 59 4.2 Animal sec E ors

Th" r"pott Uy f."" fO for the protection of laying hens kept in battery cages(l) rouseo strong feelings for a time and gave rise to long debates in the House. The harmonization of cage sizes has to take accounE not only of the differing condiEions pertaining in the member counEries but also farmerst economic interests and the demands made by ecologisEs which are diametrically opposed. Meinolf MERTENS (EPP/D), as a member of both the Committee on Ehe Environment and the CorruniEtee on AgriculEure, played a conciliatory role both inside and outside the Group.

The rapporteur finally succeeded in bringing t.his emotive discussion back to the facEs and in finding a majoriry in the House for his second reporl in April, 1982.

These two reports, which can sEand for all the other reports in Ehis area show how important it can sometimes be for Members of the European ParliamenE to deal with questions of derail in order Eo get nearer to Lhe objective whicl: the EPP has always pursued, that of gradual harmonization wherever Ehis is clearly shown !o be beneficial to the Common Market.

Cornmunity directives require CommuniLy supervision. The report by Paul MARCK (EPP/B) on the strengthening of controls on the application of Communit:f rules on agricultural products(2) is therefore extremely important. This report on Ehe Cornmission proposal which has so far been adopted by a large majority in cornmitlee, has Eo be seen as a first step in the right direction. The main point in the repor! is a demand Ehat Community-appo inted officers should be able to carry out checks in the individual- member countries.

Further information on supervision in the agricultural field is given in the report on the Committ.ee on Budgetary Control.

60 5. Fisheries PoI icy

The European ParliamenE has been looking for a final breakEhrough on a corutroo fisheries policy for Che len member countries. Al1 Ehe resoluEi-ons adopEed by Parliament should be seen againsE this background. Progress in questions of detail- will, it is hoped, gradually bring the fisheries policy on to a communiEy basis. This musE be borne in mind in connecEion !/iEh the reDorE bv Wilhelm HELIIS (EPP/D) on Eechnical measures for the conservation of fisheries resources and the laying down of calch requirernenlq(I). The amending of the exis!ing regulaEions which Ehe rePort deals with should make i! easier to take account of local condit.ions. Independent naEiooal measures will only be allowed in Ehe fisheries secEor provided they comply with the framework laid down by Ehe Community.

The European Parliament adopted a number of reports at its parE-sessron rn November 1981 which are prirnarily concerned $tiEh Ehe Eechnical aspec!s of fisheries policy. The reporLs by Joyce qUIN (ED/GB) (EoEal cagch Possibili- (3) ties)(2), (Frirz GAUTIER (SOC/D) (conservarion of fishery resources) (ED/DK) (ConununiEy's of fi"h GB) Kent KIRK stt.t. "tock" (rnanagemenE of fishery resources)(5) and Roberc BATTERSBY (ED/GB) (cacch quotas for NoE gy,eng_lirege (6) had been given chorough consideraLion in Ehe Subconmittee on Fisheries. lE was then possible to put them to the voEe in Ehe ComniLtee on Agriculture wiEhout discussion. The CD Group's main spokesmen on fisheries policy were Mark CLINTON, Wilhelm HELMS and, on MediEerranean Chis fisheries, Vincenzo G IUMMARM (EPP/I). One should also not overlook in connecEion the reDorts olivier DtoRMESSoN on a fisheries emen! wiEh Senegal(7), by Wilheln HELMS on technical measures for the conservatlon ot fishery resources(8) and by Mark CLINTON on a fishery agreemenE nith Sweden(9). These resolutions were supporced by a large rnajority in the House during the May 1982 part-session.

(1) Doc. L-263/81 (2) Doc. L-76318L (3) ooc. r-6br/61 (4) Doc. L-732/8L (5) Doc. L-699/8L (6) ooc. L-693/8L (7) ooc. L-82/82 (8) Doc. L-L87/82 (9) loc. 1-r88/82 6l It will be seen from the large number of reports on fisheries matters hor.t necessary and also how difficult it is to esEablish a conmon fisheries policy"

Despice the adoption of these reports, iE remains unfortunately Erue thaE the Council has made no real progress towards a cosrmon fisheries policy. The CD group and especially ics rnembers in the Working Party on Fisheries will continue to do everylhing in their power Eo have acEion Eaken which goes above and beyond sinple matters of detail. In view of the Corununityrs forEhcoming expansion towards the Southr l"ledi t.erranean fisheries policy will have to be given high prioriEy.

6. Structural policy

In recent years structural policy has come increasingly co the fore, with emphasis being given to the incorporacion of agricultural sEructural policy in integrated progranmes dealing with infrastrucEures and the economy as a whole.

Menbers of the CD Group were quick to poinE to lhe need Eo look at change:i in agricultural structures within the wider contexE of the creation of jobs irr the countryside. Only in this way can structural change take place in agriculture on a voluntary basis $/ithouE crea!ing hardship.

Because of the high budgeE deficits in all member countries there will be an even greater Lendency for Couununity expenditure to be channelled fowards progranmea in favour of genuinely disadvanEaged areas. One example of this isr the reporE by CoistanEinos MLOYANNIS (EPP/GR) on the acceleration of agricultural developnent in certain regions of Greece(t) wtrictr was adopted by Parliament at iEs July 1982 parr-session. This will be dealt with in grearer detail in the section on l'lediterranean agriculture.

Another topic which will acqui.re even greater importance over Che next year is Ehe repo!! by Joachirn DALSASS on changes Eo the struc directives(2). Directives 72/I59 (modernization of farms), 72/L6O (measures to encourage the cessation of farming) and 72/L6L (socioeconomic guidance)

( 1) Doc . t-4LL/82 (2) Doc. L-L84182

62 have been extended beyond their ten year period of application Eo December 1983. The rapporteur t.ook the opPortunity in his resolution Eo set down some guidelines for the new arrangemen!s which will come into effect after 1983.

The main poinEs of Ehese tguidelinest are that structural imProvemenEs should be concentrated to a greater degree on the mountain and less-favoured areas, thag more attenEion should be paid to the improvemenE of vocational training and further training for the heads of farm businesses and Ehat the developmenc EargeE in ics presenE form should be abolished as a crilerion for assessing Ehe developnent capaciEy of individual undertakings. This lasr point was of particular coficern to cD menbers Reinhold BO0KLET and Isidor FRiiH, since the development target has repeatedly and deservedly come under heavy criticisrn in the Federal Republic.

The members of Ehe CD group on the Committee on AgriculEure will be following wiCh particular aEEention over !he nexE year Che Commissionts drafting of new proposals for the sEructural directives and will urge that due account be taken of the motion for a resolution adopted with a large majority by the European Parliament.

7. ProsPects

I.thilst the beginning of this teview of the European Parliarnentrs agri- culEural policy over the Past year from the viewpoint of Ehe CD Group described it as being a relatively successful year' one should not dran the conclusion t.hat solu!ions have been found to most of the problens affecting agriculture.

The problems of the cAP are far too complex and Eoo Buch bound up wich problerns in other areas, e.g., divergenE rates of inflation and their effect on currencies, for this to happen.

The CD Group's duty must therefore be to identify areas which require attenlion and to deal with them as a metter of priority in its future activiEies.

63 The Working Group on Agriculcure under Joachin DALSASS will have three main subjects to work on:

The amending of Ehe direcEives on agricultural strucEures:

The direcEives which Ehe Commission has Eo draw up for the period afEer 1983 wifl be examined wiEh part.icular care, The members of our Group on Ehe ConmitEee on Agriculture will press for Lhem to be submiCted at Ehe proper time so Ehat they can be discussed seriously and unhurriedly by the Group, Ehe comniltee and finally by the whole House.

Greater export incencives for agriculEural produc t s :

The CommuniEyrs balance of trade and other factors make it necessary Eo discuss export incenlives for agricultural producEs by means of long-term conEracEs. It is parEicularly imporEant to come Eo an arrangement hriEh Ehe US on these naLters.

Further developmenE of the agricult.ural policy in connection lrith the CornrnuniEyrs expansion E.or./ards Ehe souEh:

The Working Group on AgriculEure would like a reporE from Ehe Coumri s s ion on Ehe present sEate of negotiations wich Spain and Porlugal on lhe subject of che Common AgriculEural policy. This report would then form the basis for furEher sEeDs in Ehis area.

The experience of the chri s t ian-DemocraL ic Members of parliament on che Commi!tee on Agriculture is thaE only Ehe consi.stent developnent of Ehe comnon agriculEural policy, disregarding Ehe many day-to-day poliEical events which run counter Eo its objecLives, will produce resulEs; this should also serve as an example for christian-DemocraEic agriculEural policy wiuhin a uniEed Europe.

INIBq!U!]IQ!

Since May 1980, an attempt to reform Europe's agricuLturat policy has been under way in response to two very different hopes: first the hope of reducing agricuIturaL expenditure which constitutes the most important item in the Community budget; secondty, that of bringing about the most favourabte conditions for the accession of Spain and Portugat.

In response to the Mandate of 30 fvlay 1980 and the question of Spanish accession, the EEC Commission has produced two documents of particu[ar relevance to Mediterranean agri cu Itura t output.

- In the first document ('GuideIines for European Agriculture'), there are tt"lo basic elements: to aim for 'production objectives' so that, once specific 'basic quantitiesr have been exceeded, guaranteed prices woutd be reduced; and then to inpLement a poLicy of progressive aIignment of Community prices u,ith the prices of the Community's major competitors. (Attached to the report was a brief communication on Integrated trlediterranean Programmes which outIined in broad terms a programme that had two aims: first, to give equaI support to Uedilqllqngen-plSdCce and that grown eLsewhere in the Community and to prepare the southern areas of the Community for the impact of enlargement . In June 1982, a draft proposal on this matter uas ppoduced by the Commission but uas not officia[[y forwarded to ParLiament.)

- The second document - drawn up uith regard to the 'area of argument with Spain' - dea!S_SS!C!y_Ui!h_!b9_899!_1CIp9l!e!!-U9df!Crfeneqn-plgdggg: wine, fruit and vesetabtes and o[ive oiL. (No specific consideration is given to produce such as tobacco, sheep- meat and cotton, which pLay an important rote in the economies of the southern regions of the Community).

There h,ene tuo plgpggqlg for improving market organization in the wine sector and the fruit, vegetabte and citrus fruit sector and a 'communication' on the otive oit sector urhich subsequent[y became a proposat in March 1982.

Such is the background to ParIiament's work in the past year on the Community's Mediterranean poLicy. The extreme compLexity of the prob[ems, from the technica[,

65 economic and potiticaI points of view has obviousty resulted in the stow pce of progress which does not a[!,ays meet everyoner s wishes. However, a remark shoutd be made and emphasized in this introduction, before r,te go on to consider specific aspects: whether in discussion within the Committee on Agnicutture, at plenary sittings, or in the European ParIiament/Spanish and Portuguese Assemb[y Joint Committees, the EPP has remained soLidly united in achieving progress on Mediterranean issues and has atways avoided sptits such as have occurned, and continue to occur, on the same issues in other major groups.

0n the one hand, the Commission's proposats needed to be considered with particutar attention because the price fixing this year was tinked to a revision of the regutations on uine, fruit and vegetables and olive oiL. 0n the other, the rapporteur (David CURRY, European Democrat - GB) had total-Ly ignored the basic f acl: that for ftlediterranean produce, such decisions woutd have had not onty short term, but above atI medium and tong-term effects too (regardLess of Spanish and Portuguese ac cess i on) .

In the Comm'ittee on AgricuIture, the report was 'putted to pieces' (in the riord: of its rapporteur); in fact, it was vastty improved by a series of atmost exctusive[y T0RMESSON EPP amendments (and speeches) by Al,f redo DIANA (I),0[ivier D (F), Giovanni BARBAGLI (I), Konstantinos KAL0YANNIS (GR), G'iosui LIGI0S (I), Roberto C0STANZO (I) and Efstratios PAPAEFSTRATIOU (GR). This improvement r,ras achieved both in the generaI shape of the amended resotution - which was made much clearer on the situation of ltlediterranean agriculture and on regionaL imbalances between North and South - and nith regard to specific sectors. The Christian Democrats were abte to persuade their cotteagues to demand onty that the increases for produce from the south of the Community shoutd be more than the average. This uas tantamount to rejecting the approvat which meant, basicaIty, that Mediterranean produce shouLd pay the price o1'a 'neu common agricutturaI poLicy' twice over: first, through an immediate pri ce-frereze (to keep the budget down) and secondLy, by bearing atl the burden of Spanish and

Portuguese ac cessi on.

66 In Strasbourg, David CURRY' in the |'engthy exptanation of his report, did not even refer to the probtems of Mediterranean produce. Konstantinos KALoYANNIS, however' Vincenzo GIUMARRA (PPE - I), ALfredo DIANA and Efstratios PAPAEFSTRATIoU, helped to clarify the various aspects of the issue to ParIiament. Konstantinos pointing out hoH that KALOYANNIS, in particutar, expLained the situation in Greece, country's very high rate of inftation made the commission's price proposats unacceptabte. He atso voiced his concern at the guidel'ines chosen to reform the CAP: products with those of sLower grouth of production; aL ignment of the prices of certain Section other oroducer countries; reduced the rate of increase of the EAGGF Guarantee function' at a time when the EAGGF Guidance Section has al,L but ceased to

He caLLed for (1 ) more substantiaL price increases, measures earty ensufe strict appLication of community preference, and (3) a firm promise of proposaIs to secure equitabte treatment for Med'iterranean products.

LastLy, Alfredo DIANA deaLt with two essentiaL aspects of the Mediterranean (2) probtem: (1) the need to strengthen market regutations, and the need for specific complementary measures for the benefit of producers in countries trith high inftation rates because, as he said, the harmonious progress of European integrat ion is various production incomoatib[e 1n1ith the persistence of such great imbaLances betueen the sectors and reg.ions. He paid tribute to the Commission for proposing higher than inadequate' average increases for Mediterranean produce, but stressed that these Here stitI lhich They wece, neverthel-ess, a first step touards the recovery of compet it iveness for pointed out the counci L of Fore.ign wlinisters had catled tast January. Atfredo DIANA atso t"'ent that the proposed increase for common uheat - Lou-yie[d crop in short suppty - against the Councit's instructions, just I'ike the proposaL for durum wheat '

67 He appeaLed again to the Commissjon to consider additionaI measures to support agricuIturaL incomes in countries hlith the highest rates of inf Lat.ion.

I.,IINE SECTOR

This was the centre-piece of the battIe over Mediterranean produce. Both in tfe

committee on Agri cutture and in pLenary sittings, our group made the running c,n this vitaI issue. The first report by Arnaldo C0LLESELLI (Epp - I) on the situation in the community's wine-growing sector was adopted by a Iarge majority at the ptenary sitting of 9 Apli L 1981 ' and it was acknowledged as the futtest document and most detaiLed anatysis of the sector. The fact that scant attention was paid to this report and even that on[y after considerabte delay, ted a few months tater, in the summer of 19g1, both to the resunption of the wine war between the two major producer countr.ies and to an equaLty grave dispute between the producer countries and some northern consumer countries; in particuLar Great Brita.in, which btocked wine imports and boycotted disti Ltation in order to protect its own synthet.i c atcohoL.

- In September 1981, as part of their effort to put an end to the resumed hostiLitiesin theabsurd wine war between ItaLy and France (actuatty, bethreen the Mezzogiorno and the Midi), Giosua Lrcros (Epp - I) tabted a motion for a resolution- - the onty one to be voted by partiament - on the urgent .imptementation of the series of neasures aIready proposed for restoring equiLibrium in the wine sector. He stressed two points in particutar: (1) onLy an extremely smaLI part of the measures proposed by the Comm.ission and ParLiament (and adopted by the counciL) had been impIemented. Th.is was why .i1: was impossibLe to achieve a Lasting equilibrium in the sector. (2) Eurooean pubLic opinion shouLd not fatl. into the error of beLieving that the wi6e cris;is shouLd be attributed solety to a confLict between the Mezzogiorno and the Micli. Quite the opposite - it !,as a probLem which invoLved the whote conmunity and onLy by effective cooperation bet!,,een aLI countries coutd it be resoLved. - In November 1981 , the wine question was again raised in plenary sitting. Partiament adopted a report5 by ArnaLdo coLLEsELLI on a series of changes .in which it had not been possible to incLude the fundamentaI unison of the Regulation carried out in 1980. It was essentiaLty a technical report, but it touched on important points and generaILy cLarif .ied various parts of the Regutation. In the rapporteur's opinion, indeed, it was vitaL and urgent to bring att the ruLes together definitivety in a comprehens.ive and cLear summary

when, in october .its 1982, the commission forwarded proposats for wine and fruit and vegetabIes to Partiament and the counci t, it attached a simpLe ,communication, on oIive oi[, since it had found it impossibte to resolve the contentious issue of community olive versus oiL duty-free imported seed oits. From the moment these proposaIs were submitted, Roberto cosrANzo (Epp - I), Ar.f redo DIANA (EPP - I) and Giovanni BARBAGLI (Epp - I) asked conmissioner Dalsager for further detai Ls and requested that a more substantiar_ document than the 'communication' be submitted on otive oi L. Atfredo DIANA took up the question again more fulLy when he submitted his reoort on the speciaI measures in respect of or,ive producers' ? oit organizationsZ and Roberto cosrANzo-, in January 19g2, tabr.ed a motion for a resoLution in which he asked principatr.y, that 'in r"ine with the provisions for the fruit and vegetabr.e and wine sectors within the context of the proposats to revie!| the community patrimony,' the community ruLes governing the otive oiI sector be .immediateLy adjusted, too.

7I In a report for the Joint committee on Spain, Hans August L0CKER (Epp-D) pointed out the deticate situation of Spanish agriculturel, which showed a marked shortage of Northern European products but was highl-y protected against Southern European produce, such as olive oiL, of which the Spanish output was very Large and wou[d inevitabLy give rise to surpLuses after spain.s accession to the EEc. The issue of agriculture was taken up again and ana[yzed in its various aspects by Atfredo DIANA before the cortes in Madrid in June 1982 and proved to be a not inconsiderabte stumbting bLock" At Strasbourg, in a question to the commission, subsequent Ly changed into a motion for a resolution with a view to a resumption of detai led discussion on the matter this autunn, ALfredo DIANA requested information on the stage feached in negotiat.ions with Spain, especiatty those concerning agriculture. In a Long and exhaustive rep[y, the vi ce-pres.ident of the EEC commission, Lorenzo NataIi, who is aIso responsibLe for the entargement portfotio, pointed out that negotiations were conducted neither^ by the commiss.ion nor by the counci [, b.t by the Member states. He said that the reform of the reguLations concerning wine, f ru.it and vegetabLes and oLive oiL on the one hand and the rlntegrated Programmes' on the other were means to boosting the communityrs llediterranean agricutture (and the economy of its Mediterranean regions)2.

More specif portugat, ica[|y with regard to par-ticu[ar attention was again paid to the agriculturaL sector. Giosud LIGIos (EPP-I) submitted two reports. The f .irst was an in-depth anaLysis of Pontuguese agricuLture on the eve of accession and the second, a suppIement to the first, considered necent proposats by the EEC commission on Medite.ranean products and their possibte effects on the Portuguese econony. These are its conctusions: The accession of portugal shouLd be viewed primarily as a poLitical move and as such there are no obstacles in the way of its ach.ievement. More expr.icitLy, the poLiticaL argument undeniabLy causes the delay oven the economic argument and the matter is beyond dispute. But this does not mean that the objective difficuLties 6f accession, the consequences of which woutd be serious for the community and even more so for portugat, should be underestimated.

The process of 'readjustment' for the Commun.i ty's Mediterranean produce has on[y just begun. Of the three major dossiers, two, one on wine and the other on fruit and vegetabLes, have atready been adopted by Parliament, whi Le the third+, tess 1-- ' Doc. 72-908 ? PF 72, q7< ' olive oi I

The counciL had bLockecr the European poricy and this uas a faiLing parLiament coutd not fuLty redress- It wour,d, however, have to make it quite clear at the first reading that was it better and more efficient to have a European poLicy than a range of nationat poLicies for ten Member states.

He expressed the partiament h/ish that concentrate on certain aspects. In doing so, .i t must not overLook probLem the of hunger in the wor I d.

0n 3 November 19g1 parLiament considered the dfgf!_bCdge!_jqr 19gz at J-ut!-resdils. Harry NorENBooM (N[)4 did not accept the view that the European budget should be as frugaI as the nationar budgets. r,Je shou[d not maKe compari sons between the turo. The European .i Community was n thg Brocess of devetopment and if we n,ere not abte to maintain certain forms of po.icy the resutt woutd be regression, dectine and a coLlapse and that we coutd not accept.

l'te !,ere therefore caLLing for the European budget to provide a substitute poLicy, taking over what Here nationar- poIicies ar present on the Lines of the Eur^opean agr.icutturaI pot_icy.

tdhen deciding what shouId and h,hat shour-d not be Europeanized, t.le must consider the question of retevance and aLso the need for a rationaI division between what nuas rightfutty the task of the constituent parts (the Member states) and what was the task of the whoLe (the Community). Here much cou[d be learned from the examo[e of existing feder"at states. rn this regard he atso saw the opportunity of adopt ing amendments resuIting in a higher totar, than was penmissibr.e under Articr'e 203 regarding the maximum percentage. He pointed out that Articr.e 203 provided the opportunity to estabLish a new percentage increase by agreement with the Counci L and he urged the CounciI to support this endeavour. Harry NoIENBooM aLso commented that the Grouo attached great importance to deveLopment and cooperation poLicy_ This poticy was particuIarr.y suitab[e for Europeanization, which wouLd enable devetopment aid to be decided much more efficientty, particutarLy as it woutd aLso tead to the poritical advantage of enabling the ten Member States to address the Third Wor[d with one voice.

3 Debates of the European ParIiament, 15 September ,l9g1 page 76 4 , 46 Debates of the European Part.iament, 3 November 19g1, page 33 0n regionaI policy, he pointed out that the quatity of the Reg'ionaL Fund must be improved. This was why it was proposed to freeze part of the fund in Chapter 100, with the aim of unfreezing this amount once the Commission and Counci L had agreed on a ctear improvement with regard to part of RegionaL Fund expenditure; for a greater part shoutd be reserved for genuine Community projects on behatf of the poorest negions of the Communi ty.

0n the Social Fund, he cautioned against creating the ittusion in the pubLic mind that the SociaI Fund was capabLe of a fundamentaL attack on unemployment. In view of the size of the fund this was not possibLe. It couId, however, encourage a Community approach to the fight against unempLoyment among young peop te.

Konrad SCHON (D)5 commented that the Counci['s reference to the Member states' financiaI difficuLties was not particu[arly heLpfut for European poIicy. It Has certainLy true that there was a reciprocaL reIationship, but he reiterated Harry NOTENBOOM's point that, first[y, the European Community r,ras sti[[ under devetopment, and secondly, that the financiat problems of the Member States had on[y a Iimited impact on the Community budget: there was a ceiting on the spending side and expenditure and revenue had to be in balance. In any case we needed to bear in mind that what the Community did couLd not relieve the pnessure on the nationaI budgets whiLe the CounciL continued to btock Community'poIicies. ConsequentLy any poticy that was LikeLy to be more advantageous and effective at European Leve[, as we[[ as getting cLoser to the generat pubIic, must be promoted at Community level.

5 o"bra", of the European ParLiament, 3 November 1981 , page 46 5t o"brr". of the Europan ParIiament, 3 Itbvember 1981 , page 30 77 Efstratios PAPAEFSTRATIOU (Gr) said that the budget shouId as far as possibLe fuLfiL not just economi c objectives but atso sociaI and . generat potit'i cat requi rements,

For this reason certain improvements and additions shou[d be made to the draft budget. This appt'ied particuIarly to the appropriations for the SociaI Fund. An increase was needed here to combat the desperate probtem of youth unemp Loyment.

Pietro ADONNINO (I)6 again cail.ed attention in the debate to the fundamentaI issue of the 'tegaI basis'. This was the question of whether items of non-compuIsory expenditure in the budget requi red an additionaI decision by the Counci I in the form of a regulat ion before the expenditure could be carried out by the Commission. The Councit, and atso the Commission on frequent occasions, took the view that in most instances the budget t.las not on its own a sufficient legat basis for effecting expenditure. Pietro ADoNNiN0 stated that Partiament thought that an additionaL Iegat basis was on[y requi red in exceptionaI cases. Other- wise what had become of the European Partiament's budgetary powers to have the last word on the margin for noncompulsory expenditure ? If that last word had been rendered nugatory by the Counci t's requirement that a reguLation must first be adopted by the Counci[, Partiamentrs budgetary pouers had been reduced to nothing. This had never been the aim of the Treaty. He therefore contested the CounciIrs vieu that the European budget shoutd disptay the same economy as the national budgets. In his view the Community budget ought to be in a position to att€Miate the burden on nationaI budgets by financing poLicies in the Community budget which. if they were included in the nationaI budgets of atI ten Member States, woutd be much more expensive (Community poLicy for .ene.1gy, research, agri culturaI and dvelopment h,as much more efficient than ten separate ones).

He accordingty urged the Commission once more to expedite implementation of the Mandate of 30 llay. Its proposa[s had been awaited for too Long. He therefore argued in favour of freezing large parts of the Sociat and RegionaI Funds by transferrirg them to the reserv€ in Chapter 100 untiI the Commission had submitted genuine proposa[s for the rest ructuri ng of the budget.

78 Horst LANGES (D)7 criticized the comment by lvln THORN, President of the Commission, to the effect that he uroutd short[y be producing detaiIs of the amounts paid by the European countries to the Community. He urged Mr THORN f ina[l,y to put an end to the debate on the 'net pa yments'. lnt s debate had given rise to a great deaI of nonsense, particutar[y in the FederaL RepubL.i c of Germany, He wouLd Like to seea papef by tte commission expressty stating that we didhave common customs tariffs and levies, ond a common trade policy, and for this reason it was no tonger possibte to estabLish whether a country was paying too Iittte or too much to the Community budget. To such as the Brit'i sh it shoutd be made clear that their trade with the other Member States had ri sen fron 17 to 432 since accession. This increase in the sate of British products coutd not be weighed against the United Kingdom's net contributions. Such an overatI assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of the Community woutd be most [ikeLy to show Britain as a net beneficiary. But Horst LANGES did not want an assessment of this sort either: 'hle are first and foremost a poLiticat Community, and trying to catcutate everything down to the tast unit of account is not what we are about'. For this neason he coutd do r"rithout the ridiculous tabtes produced by the Commission.

Leon'idas BOURNIAS (eR)8 shared the viet"r that the effectiveness of the common agricutturaI poticy depended on controtting the surpLuses. He cal. l.ed for extra support for the regions in Greece which had suffered great damage as a result of the earthquakes of February and March 1981 - He pointed out that hitL country and problem areas accounted for 467. of the Land and that th'i s shou[d be taken into account when aLlocating food aid in the fonm of mi[k and other products to the populat ion in the regions of Greece cut off by snow and flooding in the winter.

Eurooean Investment Bank "

Gero PFENNIG (D)10 reserved his remarks to the need for a review of the Commissionrs information poLicy. He noted that the information pamphtets produced by the Commission and by ParIiament, on gLossy paper, h,ere totatLy incomprehensible to the average citizen and pLayed around with figures to show urhich Member State had paid how much for what, and what it was getting out of it. The man in the street didn't care a scrao for information of this sort. What interested him was what Europe coutd offer him personaIty. He suggested that the information which the Commi ssion shou[d pr"ovide, in brief, succinct and straight forward language, was the fact that any citizen, wherever he came from, coutd obtain unempLoyment benefit in certain conditions in any Member State and that any citizen, in whichever Member State he had worked, couLd add the years of work to his nationaL pension rights. There were no tegibLe pamphlets on this. Nor were there any on hopes of aboLishing frontier checks or on the introduction of a reasonabLe thi rd party scheme for motor" vehicLes- Questions of this kind affected the citizen direct[y and the Commission shoutd therefone concentrate its inf or.mation on thi s a rea.

Luigi MACARIO (I)llthought that the budget couLd be characterized as a fLight from the respons i b i I i t i es which Europe should be expected to accept in view of the many chattenges which it coutd not ignore.

BO This particuLarIy appt.ied to tr{o aspects, the economic crisis, which was extremeLy seli ous and unempLoyment.

12 Isidor FR0H (D) '' regretted that agricutture took the targest share of the budget, confirming once again that the budget r,las a policy in figures' It was proof that we had an agriculturaI poticy in Europe. Unfortunately, 'it was the onty poLicy we had. He coutd imagine a situation in which agriculturat poticy, integrated into other poticies, woutd on[y take a smaLL percentage of the budget. In that evert sg|i culturat poIicy wouLd cease to be so top heavy and open to criticism. He therefore argued that there ||tas an urgent need to create new poticies. If we succeeded in creating a nel|, and better agr.icuLturat pol,icy - and none would tl\,ish to object to this - there would be more funds for other poLicies, which everyone in ParLiament wouLd appLaud and seek to support. No one shoutd beLieve however, that continued pruning of the agriculturaL poticy woutd retease adequate funds for other poticies in Europe; that wouLd be to draur the wrong conctusions. For that wouLd destroy the agricutturaL poIicy since it wouLd invotve nationaL support measures and subsidies and there L,aS not enough cash to go round. There r,las onLy one t,lay to a bitanced budget: funds must be transferred from the nationaL budgets to the Community budget to ensure that nationat poticies such as those on energy research and devetopment aid foLLowed the same pattern as agricutture and were rep[aced by one European poticy.

PauL DE KEERSMAEKER (B)13 drew attention to the introduction of a coresponsibi Lity tevy in the oiLs and fats sector. The same apptied to a corespons.ibi L.ity Ievy for protein products and cereats substitutes. In his opinion, the argument that the development of other policies had been impeded by the s.ize of agricuLturaI expenditure had poved a myth. since it was ctear from the amended budget for 1981 , and the budget for 1982, that it was poss.ibLe for availabte funds to be channetted back to the Member states, it was obviousLy not the common agricutturat poticy, but the tack of poL.itical wiLL that exp[ained why we had not achieved a futt-scaIe pol,icy in sectors other than agricuIture and horticuIture.

81 A[fredo DIANA (I)14 shared this view. The management of agricuttural- expenditure by the Eunopean Commission shouId certain[y be improved, but movements on the wortd markets had shown how chancy and unwise it rras to make expenditure forecasts at the beginning of the year, to declare that matters uene bound to proceed in a certain manner and that agricutturaL nrarkets were almost atways bound to be surplus markets with low prices.

0tivier d'ORMESSON (F)15 pointed out that the Community must have a budget which woutd enabte it to meet its obl.igations deriving from the Treaties and agreements between the llember States. For this reason monetary compensatory amounts coutd not be abotished under the budget procedure. It woutd take more than that; the regu[ations wou[d have to be changed and the desired resuLt - complete abolition - uoutd not be achieved untiL stabLe exchange rates uere completety restored. He also pointed out that the Guarantee Section represented 60.9% of the Community budget, or 1.8'l of the sum of Members states' budgets and 0-552 of the gross domest ic product of the Community. If the poLicies which were not reatty connected with the agricuLturaL poLicy, such as food aid, and imports of New ZeaLand butter and sugar from ther associated countries, uere deducted, the Guarantee Section onty accounted for 49.81 of the budget.

Mark CLINT0N (tr)16 thought that the urge to save money seemed to have become an obsession. when in the circumstances we shou[d be seek.ing ways to invest so as to get maximum returns by way of increased emptoyment in produc ing goods and services that woutd be competitive on the export markets. He criticized the commission for showing very Littte imagination in its rGuideIines for Agri cutturei. This document spoke gLibLy about a rprudent price poLicy' which was another way of. saying , reduce support and cut farmers, i ncomes t .

82 European poLicy with inadequate nationat instruments. The foLtowing figures spoke for themseLves. Our leveI of investment in 1980 was 10% betow that of Japan; our energy investment - an item of great importance in reIieving the strain on our balance of payments - was barely a third of that of the United States. When we taIked of the stagnating emptoyment situation, ue must proceed from the facts. lt was true that internationaI demand had fatLen dramaticalLy from 82 in the 1960s and 6% in the 1970s to 1.5% now. Houever, the European Community's share of internationat demand had aIso fa[[en faster than that of other important industriaI countries. It was precisety in the future-ori entated industries tike teLematics and biochemistry that we had thrown away, or done too tittLe to exploit, promising opportunities. The main reason for this t/,,a s the fragmentat ion of our market and protectionism. The Community was Like a tug-of-war team with different Member States taking the strain at different times rather than puL['ing in unison. He criticized the Counci I in this connection for obstructing severat viabte projects in the fieLd of advanced technoIogy industry.

Bert cRoUX (B)18 commented that there r.ras no Link whatever beth,een the sotemn dec[arations made by the Counci I and Commission on priorities - and in particutar the high priority aspect of energy poticy - and the amount a[located to energy in the Community budget. If the figures for 1981 and 1982 were compared we couLd see that comrrlitment appropriations had faLten from 109 m EUA to 25 m EUA.

In the case of research the situation uas somelrhat betten, but there were ctearty cases of waste and duplication as a resutt of the tack of a Community poLicy. Nor was there a smooth fLow through to product deveLopment, industr"iaL innovation and renewat. This was a major cha[lenge to the Member States, which were undoubtedLy setting their sights too lou in this respect.

Giovanni BARBAGLI (I)19 drew attention to the great probtem of youth

18D.b.a". of the European ParIiament, 4 November 1981 , 9.86 190"b"r". of the European ParLiament, 4 November, 1981 ; p. 90

83 unempLoyment. There had been a sharp rise in unemployment and the probtems posed by the entry of young peopte on to the labour market, urith a resultant increase in the scaLe of aid from theSociaL Fund. There shou[d be a series of short-term measures aimed at reducing unemptoyment among young peopte, so that aLI young peopte coutd be given adequate preparation for emp[oyment whether or not they were formaILy ctassified as unemployed. Everyone was now aware of the need for technoLogicat development in the fietds of e[ectronics, data processing and tetematics. It Has therefore essentiaL to Iink schooL education with vocational training, and to try to resoLve the probtem of aLternating school and work so that there woutd be no break between finishing schooL education and finaLLy taking up a job. In view of this the Sociat Fund should advocate a tonger-term poIicy for offeri ng an integnated range of opportunities for job training and experience at the end of compulsory

schoo L i ng.

Nicolas ESTGEN (t-)20 said it was high time for us in the Community to get back to basics where economi cs and sociat field r,lere concerned. The very reaI and harsh crisis should not be taken as an excuse for rejecting Community measures where they Here most needed, which was in the sociaL f iel,d. The European PeopLets Party wanted nothing to do with an aIt-out sociaL poticy which took no accounts of facts and their economi c repercussions.

We did not wish, by taking rash and irresponsibte sociaI measures, to kiLL the goose that laid the goLden egg, especiaLLy since it had Laid fewer and fewer of them- This meant that our social pol-icy must be placed within

the framework of a poIicy of competitivity and economi c profitabitity. We were ah,are that we had reached a !,,atershed and that we must react.

SaIvatone LIMA (I)21 , speaking on regionaI poIicy, said that the gap between rich and poor regions in the Community had increased inexorab[y. In Less than 10 years the ratio gap between the average gross product per capita had risen from 1 :3 to 1 :5. The Community average unemployment rate L,as 7.1%, whi [e it was '13% in Sicity and 19 -1% in Campania. This meant that

ZoD.b"t". of the European ParLiament, 4 November 1981 . p.93 21 D"but", of the European Pa r ['iament, 4 November 1981 . p.97

84 urgent acts of community sotidarity were required- He therefore set great store by the amendments to the reguLation governing the European RegionaL DeveLopment Fund, on which the commiss'ion t|las not, working. Reaffirming the system of nationaL quotas for Less-favoured regions, improving the efficiency promoted of communi ty programmes by deveLoping suitabte integrated schemes, by means of the ,ex-quota section' which could be markedty strengthened, guaranteeing the additionaLity of Community intervention, which cou[d be obtained by drawing up contracts for schemes to be decided !|lith the Member states/ deveLoping direct retations between the commission and locaI authorities; aLL these were factors which wouLd undoubtedLy strengthen the operationat capacity of the RegionaI Fund.

ELise B00T (NL)22 agreed with the Committee on Budgets that part of the RegionaI Fund should be frozen in chapter 100, in order to put pressure on the Commission and CounciI to speed up the review of the Fund and to attocate a greater amount to the non-quota section. she hoped that the Fund wouLd be aLLowed to run concurrent Ly with the fifth programme for medium-term economi c poticy. This wou[d introduce more c[arity into .the community's economi c poLicy of rehich regionaI poLicy r.las an integraI part'

UrsuLa SSHLEISHER (o)23 spoke on behatf of the European PeopLe's Party on the environment, the consumer and pubtic health. Most of the aLready very smalL budget |i,as devoted to the environment, she pointed out. She was' crit'i caL of the fact that reports approved by Parliament had not been adopted by the Counci L because of opposition from certain Member States and because the CounciI was not prepared to take a decision' t'Jhy teas the Counci I incapabte of reaching a compromise? She also criticized the Counci L for adopting certain directives unanimously and then at a Later stage refusing to provide the necessary funds for Community activities.

'in Mario pEDINI (t)24 thought that the Community shouLd take action the

85 f iel.ds of education and cutture. It must be considered whether the enormous problem of youth unemptoyment was not the result of an education uhich - a shortcoming which was common to atL our countries - p[aced most emphasis on the traditionaI profess ions and quaIifications, whi[st faiIing to take account of the fact that new techno[ogies were about to make their presence feLt in our economies and that anyone in Europe uho wanted to take on wor[d- wide responsibi Lities must tearn to see history and cuLture in a new tight. That was why unemptoyment Has another reason why we must take steps to coordinate our schooLing.

Angelo NARDUCCI (r)25 said there Has a 9ap, a break, a Lack of batance and cohesion between Partiament, Commission and CounciL which Has not just the resuIt of the normaI interchange of ideas between Institutions but was something rather more. This was a Partiament which took decisions on deveLopment poticy and on the other poticies which he thought ought to make up the backbone of a new European structure. It t.,as a Partiament Uhich gave its views on these broad [ines whiLst the Counci L aimed at discrediting a[[ the neu and valid things which they were trying to bui[d up.

The second reading ot 1982 budget took ptace on 15 Decenber 1981 . The debate focused Largety on the probtem of ctassifying compuLsory and non- computsory expenditure. This was not a neu, probLem and for some time Partiament had been urging the Commission and CounciI to agree on a uniform interpretation. Despite Parliament's endeavours no resutt had been achieved; even the tatks with the other Institutions on the subject, part.i cuLarLy !,ith the Counci [, had made IittLe progress. For this reason at the second reading parLiament maintained its interpretation, uhich was that atl expenditure r,lhich was not regarded by aLL three Institutions as computsory was deemed non-compuIsory. Thus if the counci I regarded expenditure on food aid and the funds in chapter 100 as compuIsory, but ParIiament did not share th.i s view, such expend.iture should in ParIiament's view be considered non-compuLsory. Another way of defining ParIiamentrs attitude wouId be to say that onLy expenditure regarded by atl, three Institutions as compuLsory shoutd be so taken, the rest

250"b.r", of the European parLiament, 4 November 1981 , p. 114

86 beLonging in ParLiament's view to non-compulsory expenditure. This classification was very important to ParIiament since it detenmined the scope of Partiament's margin fgr manoeuvre, on which Partiament has the tast word.

Harny NOTENBO0M (NL)26 observed that as in the two previous years, once again proceduraI differences and disagreements 1,1ere hanging over us. He regretted that the counci L had not taken up ParLiament's past offers to discuss the question of classification. He certainty accepted the CounciL's recent proposat to discuss this question earty in the New Year, but the fact budget remained that I,l e had to vote on amendments to the budget no1, and the r.,ouLd have to be adopted by ParLiamentrs President. For this purpose there h,as a need for a specific interpretation of the Treaty; ParLiament now had its own .interpretat ion of classification and shoutd keep to that for the 1982 budget, but urouLd be witIing to discuss it r.rith the Counci I and Committee for the future. For this reason b,e were now supporting the Committee on Budgets; the Christian-Democratic Group woutd vote in favour of the amendments and support its interpretation of the marg'in.

Horst LANGES (D)27 stressed that the European community was unique in budgetary terms since expenditure under the budget never exceed revenue, as al-t the textbooks and economi c and especia[[y nationaI economi cs requi red. The European Community had no debts and did not pay interest. The other side of the coin, hotJever, meant that, atthough the Treaties attos,ed us 1% of VAT as the Communityrs ohrn revenue, this revenue !,as determined by expenditure- This was a reversal of normaL practice. lf the European Community had more of its own revenue, but expenditure had previousty been reduced by the Counci L, resources were suddenly ava'i Lab[e urhich did not - aS Some countries such as the FederaI RepubIic maintained - flow back: it was simp[y unused revenue which had been contributed by the citizens or consumers and aIt at once found its way into the national coffers. That was the way it was under the Treaties, but we f el.t that the Treaties must be changed so that if revenue had been too high, the surpLus wou[d have to be carried over to the foL[owing year'

Giovann.i BARBAGLI {I)28, as the rapporteun for the committee on sociaI Affairs, endorsed the interpretation of ParIiament's margin and was wiLl-ing

26o"b.a of the European Partiament, 15 December 1 981 p.48 ". , 27o.bua of the European Partiament, 15 December 1981 , p.59 ", 28 Partiament, 15 December 1 981 , p.43 87 D"bra ". of the European to respcnd to the points made by the Committee on Budgets, accepting a Lower increase of expenditure under the SociaI Fund, as he thought it important to win the argument within the context of the margin as given.

Victo MICHEL (B)29 criticized the Counci t I s attitude in rejecting practica[[y aLI the amendments on food aid introduced by Partiament at second reading- He therefore supponted the position of the Committee on Budgets in retabting atI the 'important amendments within the context of ParIiament's margin for manoeuvre.

Konstantinos KALLIAS (GR)30 thought that equat protection for the North and South t"tas a prerequisite for the success of the agricuLturat poLicy, as wetL as being a fundamentaI requi rement of sociat justice in the commun.ity, particutarty for Mediterranean products, which aIso inctuded Greek products. He pointed out that the ag|i culturaI industry in the south of the community emptoyed a much larger proportion of the working poputation and was aLso more labour-intensive than the North in reLation to the amount of goods produced.

Paoto BARBI (I)31 turned to the d.i spute on the c[assification of expenditure, noting that the counci L knew it was in the ti,rong on this quest.ion but L,as at Least proposing to initiate negotiations between the three Institutions prion to the beginning of the 1983 budget procedure. For the present budget, however, it woutd not renounce its own un.i LateraL evatuation and was reducing to practicatty nothing the margin for manoeuvre reserved for Partiament and estimated by par'Iiament at 445 m ECU. He feLt that parLiament must therefore reject the counciI attitude, not fon the sake of the sum itseLf but in order to defend its own budgetary power and avoid coming to the proposecl negotiations for next year in a weakened position. 0n the possibiLity that the counci I might have recourse to the court of Justice, he thought that ParIiament need not fear the evaluation of its pos.ition in the Light of cl,ear and objective interpretation of the Treaties. He therefore agreed with the proposaI of the committee on Budgets, particu[arly as it was proposing to

BB re.instate onLy 355 m of 445 m ECU and was therefore welt under the max imum Limit.

7? Pierre DESCHAMPS (B)-' referred to the amendment on food aid for PoIand. He urged the CounciL to accept the amendment so that the food suppties coutd be transoorted to PoIand before the winter.

Efstratios PAPEFSTRATIOU (GR)33 drer"l attention to the 'imbaLance between the more devetoped countries of the North and the less developed countries of the South, which had increased rather than diminished in recent years. This uras another reason for increasing the share of VAT to 1%'in the first instance and, if the situation of unemployment and infLation did not .improve .in future, we must have the courage to aim at an even higher figure, probabLy in the region o't 1.57..

Gero pFENNING (D)34 thought that ue shouLd ensune that the Commission put forr.rard proposaLs on financing in the areas we considered important and for a reform of the structure of the budget, so that the Counci t u,as constant Ly compelLed to take decisions that revitaIized and reformed the European Community. 0nty if Ue !'rere consistent in the use of our limited resources would ure create a new potitical dimension and so ultimately achieve a budget that b,as poIiticaIty satisfactory.

Bert CROUX (B)35 stressed the high priolity the Group gave to proposaLs and amendments in the area of energy and research. ALL the Institutions had stated that they attached the utmost importance to energy and research, as had been evident the previous ueek in London where the Counci L had discussed new forms of poticy with reference to energy, research and industriaI deveLopment. Unfortunatety this L,as not reflected in the draft budget -

89 Mario PEDINI (I)36 protested that the Counci L had rejected most of the amendments concerning cutture and educat'ion. This uas a ludicrous act considering that the education amendments were for very smatl amounts, at a time when there was a need to coordinate at Community Level the educationaI activities intended to pnepare for innovation by faciIitating the transition of young people from school to work and thus reducing youth unemployment.

Horst LANGES (D)37, wound up the debate by po'inting out that Parliament was trying to equip the new poLic'ies on which we uished to place the emphasis 'in Europe with appropriate finances by increasing resources by some 550 m ECU. Att that t.las realty being done in some cases t,tas to take very smaLL steps in the right direction; but one sma[[ though extremety important item concerned the entry of 10 m ECU for transport.- This was not intended for construction of ordinary roads or motorways but for things which woutd create transfrontier links between Europe and other countries or bring the countri es in the European Community closer together. This 10 m ECU represented an initiaL contribution to the construction of the tunnet between EngLand and France and atso the buiLding of a motorway through Austria, the Pyhrn motorway, seen as a connecting link between Greece and ltaty. It lras a drop in the ocean, but it stressed that the European ParLiament wanted a European transport poIicy.

0n 16 November the European parliament voted on the amendments. The fottowing sums Here fina[[y adopted: 259,069,00O ECU in commitment appropriat ions and 224,103,169 ECU in payment appropriat.ions.

The Counci I stated that it could not yet agree to these f .igures because a new maximum percentage was requi red in its view and it r.las impossibte to say whether the Counci ! woutd agree to this.

In the opinion of Parliament, houever, no new maximum percentage was requi red because ParLiament had kept within its margin for manoeuvre under the terms of its own interpretation of the ctassification of expenditure.

90 The Counc.i t stated that it uoutd notify Partiament of its definitive vieu as soon as possibl-e. FoLl.oning this communication, the President of Parliament postponed the adoption of the budget. By 31 December 19E1 no satisfactory answer had been received from the Councit. The President of partiament nevertheIess adopted the 1982 budget in accordance with ParIiament's dec tared intention.

- more extensive coordination of the Member states, monetary and budgetary poIicies, - a common poticy towards the interest rate differentiaI betleen the USA and the Community,

- further devetopment of the EMS, uhj ch in turn requires further devetoDment of Community poL.i ticaI structures, - consideration of unemployment as one of the centrat problems, uith thought being given to measures over and above reductions in working hours or redistribution of work, - greater Communi ty competitiveness, - cLose industriaI cooperation bet|,,leen the rrtember states part.i cur_arIy in relation to the restructuring of crisis-ridden bnanches of the economy, and

- educationat, technica[, financiaL and budgetary measures by the community to encourage innovation and new technotogies.

0n behatf of the Epp Group, phi L.ipp von BISMARK (EpplD) pointed to the consequences for economi c poticy which had to be draun from this ) rThe report-: cruciaI word is growth. Every product fina[[y reaches saturation point or is overtaken by a better one. rf we do not introduce neu products on to the market then there is no growth. Mr Keynes does not produce any neH products. t,le depend upon the fact that neH products enter the market. The pre-conditions for this are research, devetopmenr, investment risk and daring entrepreneuriar- activities. Anyone ,,ho does not uant to see these 4 factors in ptay, Ui u. not produce any growth.

It is an unfortunate thing that there are stitl Members here rho cling to the theory of suppLy and demand. It is as dead as a doornait! Increased demand does not create more jobs. Investment and new p roduc t s T------Doc. 1-681 /81 -c0M(81 ) 596

94 create jobs. 0n the question of reducing working time, if one adopts a flexible and rationat approach. as has been the case in Gernany over the last 30 years, then work.ing time is reduced .i n any case. A very great deal can, and must, nohl be done in this area.

But the basic quest ion recurs, of whether r.le are distributing increased productivity correct[y. Are we dividing it up correctty between work.ing time, salaries and profits for the future? 0r are we sharing out a bigger cake than lre are producing? Th.i s has been done over the last few years in atI countries and is the main reason for unemptoyment, }Je have shared out our future and produced infLation. Anyone who shares out something that is not being produced, contributes tourards inftation, whether it be because he demands more from the state than the state can detiver or asks more in the way of pay than is reasonabte. Everyone hetps to produce inflation, and then hre ane faced with a di Lemma ca[|ed unemptoynent! Inftation eats away at everything, at the savings of the poorest amongst us, at jobs, at the future of our chi ldren, at security jn otd age and confidence in our weL t-be.ing. However when it comes to rooting out this eviI ue lack courage because Members of par"t.iament are afraid of their etectors.

95 Fernand HERMAN (EPP/B)1 commented as foLtows: '... There is, in fact, a totat Lack of convergence between the poLicies of the various Member states...There are those who beIieve in what I wou[d caLI the Keynesian gLobat theory of demand and there are others who rely on monetary poLicy' In practice, th.i s resuIts in measures that canceL each other out. t'lhen you have some countries which are deflating white others are infLating, the results are reduced to nothing ...

That is where we are caIting for greater convergence: the means chosen by any country to achieve the same resu[t shou[d be more closety coordinated to prevent this toss of efficiency. ['le beLieve - and numerous examptes bear this out - than in our situation the onLy way l,te can hope to expand our economy and thereby reduce unempLoyment is by pLacing greater emphasis both on investment and on exports.

Any other poLicy which reIies on first of atI stimutating domestic demand wiLL not have the desi red effect, because stimutating domestic economi c activity by maintaining the leveI of !',elfare transfens and purchasing power has the disastrous consequence of increasing production costs, reduces our share of the wortd market, and, as a resuLt, reduces the demand for investment.

It is only through a revival of the wor[d market and a revival in exports that lre can ever realty hope to expand our economy and reduce unemp Ioyment . '

In this debate PhiLipp von BISMARCK too cat[ed for greater .onu"rnun.u? '...'To Mrs Desouches I shoutd Iike to say that it is not that the free market economy is sociaL but that sociaL market economy makes for freedom It is the dogged reactionary attitude of the last century that prevents you fnom reatizing that these methods wiIL not bear fruit, and Mr tv|itterrand wiIL very soon show that that is the case.

The Commission proposes that there shoutd be a carefutly-batanced combination of measures to tackLe infLation and to promote an economi c poIicy geared to suppty. The report discusses the medium-term prospects for curbing infLation, strengthening monetary cooperation, stimuLating investment, intensifying research, pursuing an active emptoyment poticy and making a European contribution to developing the wor[d economy, white at the same time the European dimension needs to be given particutar attention in terms of creating a domestic market and imptement ing common poticies.

Fernand HERMAN commented3: ' ...

1. The second part of a speciatist conference on ra more effective Europe' organized by the EPP Group on 718 December 1981 in the Konrad Adenauer House in Bonn was taken up by a round-tabLe discussion on rregutat ive poLicy in the Europe of the 80,s,. The representatives of the Commission, the European Partiament and the West German Bundestag sought to discover what form of regutative poLicy shou[d determ.ine the future of the European Community.

Firstty it was observed that the Treaty of Rome gives as much emphasis to the - fundarnentat right to property - free access to markets

- freedom of cont ra c t - freedom to exercise a onofession as to the specific etements

- customs union uith the elimination of atI obstacles to trade and freedom of movement for the factors of product ion, - a European competitive system with fair and effective competition and the eIimination of aLI distortions, inctuding those caused by

state i nt e rvent i on, - harmonization and approximation of legis[ation to etiminate distortions of competition.

The market order based on and designed in accordance Hith these principtes, a sociat market economy therefore, is Iega[[y guaranteed by the Community as an institution.

The problem in future Community negu[ative poIicy is the division of powers between the Commission as the centraI guardian of competition on the one hand and the govefnments of the Member States on the other. Under Articte 103 of the EEC Treaty conjuncturaI poticy is ra matter of common concern' and in its dirCSt:Vg1-S!-LE-leECCelU-1221-9!-S!ebl.!i!y, Sg9!!h_gtq_!C!!_94p!9yq9n!_f!_!h9_99009!L!I, the counciI reaffirmed these objectives without, however, creating the instruments for centraI controt. The chai rman of the round-tabLe discussion, PhiLipp von BIS[{ARCK2, under-[ined the basic concept: 'One of the essentiat requi rements of an effective Europe

1 ' 71/ 121 I EEC 2 -PhiLipp von Bismarck, on 8.12.81

99 is a common view of regutative principLes supported by the majority to which our economi c and social poLicy can be geared. This is the reason why one of the main items of the agenda here in Bonn on 8 December is European regu- Lative poLicy in the 80's; because neither in ParLiament, nor in the Commission, nor in the Counci t is there a common, generaL[y-accepted view of which principLes of regulative poL.i cy are to appLy in the European community. Perhaps we shoul,d even say that the German concept of 'reguIative poticy' is barety usedr perhaps not even recognized, in other Member States-

In the market economy, the aim of regutative poLicy is to aLtow the citizens to take aS many decisions themseLves as possibte, to give them the necessary freedom and to transfer responsibitity ... -

Regulative poLicy therefore means that economic and sociaI poLicy must not simpty be atLowed to take the course determined by the outcome of the confLict between po!,ter groups within the body poLitic but must exert an infLuence in the manner fundamentaIty desired by the majoli ty.-.'-

Mr NATALI, Member of the Commission commented: 'Two years ago when the EMs was created, the aim Has to provide a certain amount of financiaL assistance to those countries who, by agreeing not to manipulate their exchange rates, had abandoned their last - aLbeit i Ltusot-y - weapon against the effects of inftation. Today the situation has not changed, and is possibty more serious, since the convergence of nationat economies and inflation rates seems even more remote. And at the ri sk of stating the obvious, how coutd it be otherwise when there is no common economic poticy-'

As far as the protection of workers in muttinationaL firms is concerned, the report refers to the IL0 Tripartite DecIaration of principtes concerning mu[tinationaI enterprises and sociaI poLicy and urges that every mu[tinationat company shoutd pubIish an annuaI neport broken down according to sectors and countries with detai Ls of: - invested, re-invested and transferred nesources, - origin and composition of existing and new capitaL, - totaL amount of tax paid, broken down according to type of tax and taxat i on authori ty, - various otheli nformation as requi red by government authorities etc.

This report contains various usefuI passages, particuLarLy as the resuLt of the incLusion of major eLements of the resotution tabLed by Mrs BEUMER/ Mr von BISMARCK and others on behatf of the EPP Group on the economic activities of firms and governments (Doc. 1-4/80).

Bouke BEUMER (EPP/NL) spoke in the debate and referred, as did the foLlowing speaker, PhiLipp von BISMARCK, to the parts of the report retating to co-determination based on information to emptoyees. The interest of the EPP Group in the ulhoLe issue of co-determination and co-responsibi lity is shoun by these contribut ions to the debate. Bouker BEUMER: '.-. my group regards a democraticaIl-y regutated market economy, a manket economy geared to meeting sociaL needs, as the most suitabLe form both for the functioning of industry and fon the improvement of Iiving standards. If gover"nment assumes the nesponsibi Lity of creating the requi red conditions, particularLy as regards the sociaI aspects in the broadest sense, it is commensurate in this assumption with the positive action the market can take, and the princip[e of freedom h,ith responsibitity and the productivity of this dynamic economic and sociaL system shou[d be combined with active soLidarity, the highest possibLe LeveL of invoLvement and responsibil-ity of atI the participants in the economy. Fr"om this stems the need for worker participation and invoLvement, the sharing of power rather than its concentration.'

r01 The same applies to the commenb by Phitipp von BISf{ARCK during the debate on the I9p9r!-br-Ur-gEUEISE!1 on the p!9p99e!:-1t9r-!h9-19[!i:srsl !e-!hc-qscner!-lsr-e-dirse!iye-e!-!bs-r!rcs!ure-el-eeCIpe!ies : '... co-determination coupted with co-responsibility is a postutate of Christian-Democratic moraI principIes. Fr"om this it fottows that we are auare of the responsibi Lity for atI aspects of this s'ignif icant institution of economic and sociaI policy in every discussion and every decision. .. The committee,, I am particutarly happy to say, has noted that the private sector does things without which, in a wor[d based on the division of labour, the majority and the most important of potiticaI objectives such as peace, freedom, sociat security, prosperity and futl employment coutd not be achieved, that the private sector can function in a market economy system as prescribed by our Treaties, in a market economy with sociat commitments, onty if the decision-making processes in the private sector continue to be oriented towards this basic structure, that its decision, uhich affect atI aspects of Life, particuIarty in the areas of increased productivity, investments and action to create jobs, must be optimaLLy attuned to the interests of society, that emptoyees are directty affected by dec'isions taken by the employers not onty as emptoyees but atso as fathers, as chitdren, as otd peopte.'

1. In order to develop the EMS further along the lines of eartier reports by the European Partiament (RUFFOLO, 1g8O), a tgpql!-bY-JShn-tUBVll-lEq/99)' proposes that an autonomous European monetary authority shou[d be set up to bring the ECU into circulation and administer its use as a means of payment and investment in wortd trade and internationaI institutions. In addition the votuntary use of the ECU by governments, business circles and individuats shoutd be encouraged so that, in the long term, the EcU is recognized as tegal. tender. PhiLipp von BISMARCK spoke in this debate2: 'As a means of exchange, money - seen from the outside, the currencies of the countries - is the most important service undertaking of a system of running a country that is based on the market economy, or freedom- It is the very heart of freedom. onty this means of exchange, money, reasonabty adjusted to the opportunities, in other words kept in short supply, can make it possibLe to achieve such important objectives as sociat redistribut'ion, protection against risks, provision for otd age and so on in a wortd based on the division of labour. ----our currencies are the nervous system of our freedom. I'that conctusions can we drau from this? First[y, a market economy urith sociaI obIigations, as prescribed by the Treaties of Rome, cannot exist without performing a funct ion that produces prosperity and soc'iaI justice. tr.l'ith the internationaI division of tabour we have, however, nothing can be achieved and nothing can be maintained without a sound, a genuine monetary system in which orice is a true indication of what is in short supply and Hhat is avaitable in abundance, and without a genuine monetary system that is able to stand its ground against pol.iticaI inf[uences. The European Union cannot be achieved uithout a sound monetary system, nor litI it resutt in prosperity and sociaI justice, which aIso inctudes regionaI justice.

That is why the devetopment of a European monetary system with above at[, as the essentiaL finaI objective, an autonomous authority responsibte for the stabiLity of the European currency, the ECU, is a task of the utmost importance for today and tomorrou. In it Iies the key to the freedom and prosperity of our Community, and woe betide us if we entrust this key entirely to the governments. r

t04 and expediting the flow of capitaL- Obstacles to the free ftow of capitat should be eliminated to ensure that the opt imum use is made of risk caoita[. The European capitat market shou[d therefore become a common market. There should no tonger be discrimination against stock exchange tfansactions in the form of indirect taxation. Easier access to stock exchanges shouLd benefit not onLy regionaI stock exchanges but aLso smatL and medium-sized undertakings. Francisque COLLOMB: rThe function of stock exchanges is to match suppLy and demand of capitaL to be invested in securities. However, before they can pLay their fuLt roIe in the Community, which it is in the interest as much of maintaining the generaL leveL of economic activity as ensuring a better distribution of resources that they shouLd, a number of conditions must be met which at present unfortunately are not. In its present state the European stock market is too compartmentatized and is governed by divergent fisca[ tules. The free movement of capita[, which is one of the objectives of the EEC Treaty, must become a reality.' and '...... shortage of risk capitaI is at the root of the Community's economic difficu[ties over the last severaI years. In a continuaLLy changing economic cLimate, faced with severe competition fnom outside, the Community has to become more competitive. 1t is necessary to invest, to raise risk capitaL to finance productive investment in the fieLd of advanced technotogies, energy and industriat restructuring.

Firstty, subsidies: ...... lJe must constantIy stress that subsidies and in particutar subsidies to protect decIining industries are one of the Horst enemies of compet ition and have led to many misgu.ided devetopments in Europe. subsidies impair the decision-making freedom of undertakings, efficiency and wittingness to take economic risks rhich are centraI features of the market economy. At the micro-economi c tevel- they reduce the adapta- biLity of undertakings. In macro-economic terms they are detrimentat to the mechani sms of control over the market economy and diminish economic productivity and etasticity., and rTo no less an extent than subsid.i es, trade barriers are an obstacte to competition in the European community. lde cannot futLy utitize the advantages of the European market untit ue ;------rooc. 1-195/81 -Doc- 1-689/81 ?

gggpglfl1SA and its centraI role in our sociaI market economy lJas houever not on[y an important theme in the debate on competition but sorted the sheep from the goats in many debates such as those concerned with nationatization in Fnance, 'sins against competition' such as in steeL poLicy, or other Community poLicies reLating to specific sectors and branches.

In the debate on the economic measures taken by France on 15 October 1981 Ingo FRIEDRICH (EPPlD) spoke as foLlows on the competitive situation and devatuation of the franc: '0f course, the nationaIizations being carried out today do not make France as yet a socialist country .... and it is not a sociaIist-pLanned economy which is being introduced, but the effects of this wiLl be fata[ even so. The economi c and psychoLogical warning light of Mr Mitterand's whoLe range of measures wiLI invo[untali ty, but I am afraid quite inevitab[y, mark the start of France's economic dectine.

Air transport cannot in pri nciple be excLuded from this, even if, and I repeat this, many of the conditions for fuLL competition in air transport, for instance the abotition of subsidies, stiLL have to be met. It wiLL not be easy but it wiLt not stop us demanding that the right action shoutd be taken.

The EPP Group therefore supports Mr Schwartzenberg's report.'

Fernand HERmAN also pointed out that certain agreements in the fieLd of air transport might tead to a better use of resources.

Mark CLINT0N (EPP/IRL) drew attention in his speech to the particu[ar regionaL and sociat policy aspects of air transport and stressed that the ideoLogy of pure competition shoutd not be taken too far.

110 E. Interna L market

As in the previous year, the EPP Group was part'i cutarty active and took the initiative in matters relating to the complete integration of the European domestic market which is a cruciat[y important area of European poLicy for the citizens of Europe.

Hans-Gert POTTERING (EPP/D) expressed this view on the achievement of the customs Union during the annuaI debate as followst1 'Aa we know, the customs union and the agricutturaI market are centraI to the European Community. lJe are famiLiar with the prob[ems in the agricutturat market, but in the case of the customs union we are in the process of destroying the foundations which have been taid. The ptans of the various nationat Governments invoLve aids and subsidies, and non-tariff obstacLes to trade are being used to prevent importers from exporting or importing their products into other countries of the Community.'

The Commission's programme for 1981 seems appropriate and feasibIe. The Member States must arrive at a common approach to imports from third countries and increase the scope for trade within the Community. There is a need for VAT rates and speciat duties on tobacco and a[cohol to be brought ctoser into Iine wjth each other and to reduce the compensatory amounts payabIe at borders.

In the debate in September 1981 , Kar[ von W0GAU said: 'Ladies and genttemen, it is my view that we are on the Hay to missing

Community transport procedures requi re guarantees to be furnished for customs duty which may become payabte tater. These guarantees may take the form of cash deposits or sureties. The guarantee arrangements ane to be made more fLexibte.

The report approves the Commission proposaL but points out that far more comprehensive proposaLs have been btocked by the Councit of Ministers and caL[s for the gr.aduaL abotition of guarantees and transit advice notes and caLls instead for a sing[e commerciaL document which can be used as an accompany ing document and as an invoice.

KarI von WOGAU commented": '... The Conmunity transit system, about which I am now to speak, is designed to speed up the clearance of lorries at frontiers. The queues of waiting [orries make it difficuLt to cross frontiers within the Community and are aLso costLy. According to information provided by the Commission, there are 31 mitLion frontier-crossings by Lorries every year. The ctearance of each takes an average of one hour and twenty minutes. If the cost per hour is taken to be DM 70, the total amounts to DM 2 000 m a Year.

The tegislation obstructing trade between the Member States shoutd be neduced to the absolute minimum needed to protect public heatth and those provisions extended uhich encourage homogenity of research work in the pharmaceuticaI f iel.d in the Member States and promote convergence of decisions by nat ionaI authori ties.

The motion for a resotution submitted by Kar[ von WOGAU, supports the amendments proposed by the Commission to the procedune for introducing new products to the market and expects that the new procedure wiLl - avoid delays in bringing goods on to the market, - encourage research and pnoduction in the pharmaceuticaI industry in an open ma rket, - enhance the feputation of European pharmaceuticaL products on the wortd market.

b. A second IgpSI! in this fieLd drawn up by gCllgyg-qEtEAll which was houever more concerned with aspects of paraItet imports rejected a drql!-dgeqlty9-pt9p999d-by-lbe-gegqiqgisnt pointins out that if the market were opened up for para[[et imports, pharmaceuticat research and the pharmaceuticaI industry wou[d suffer great harm, as uou[d u Ltimatety pubLi c heaLth.

In 0ctober 1981 the European partiament adopted both resolutions. Kar[ von WOGAU addressed the House as fotLows3: rIn the Comnunity the basic rule is for the free circulation of goods. The exception is based on Artic[e 36, according to which the frlember states may make exceptionat regutations in matters of security and heal.th. Thus the pharmaceuticaI market is stiLL today - more than tro decades after the signing of the Rome Treaties - the ctassic example which demonstrates that in certain areas the common market has stitL not taken the ptace of the national markets.l

114 In June 1982, a further debate took pLace reLated to the. internaI market, on the basis of a !9!i9!_!91_e_!9!S!C!l9n tab[ed by the Committee on Economic and fvlonetary Affairs on the progress achieved towards the reaLization of a European internaI market during the BeLgium presidencyl . One of its authors L,as Kart von WOGAU who compLained to the House of the damage caused by the fact that a large number of important initiatives and directives were being blocked by the CounciL of Ministers. He referred to the Counci I of Ministers in the foItowing terms: rThe ancient Romans had a proverbl senatofes boni viri, senatus autem mata bestia. tlith neference to the Counci [, I shoutd Like to say: membri consiIji boni viri, conciIium autem mata bestia. Many members of this body deserve our respect. Some of them may even be deserving of our admiration. But when they come togethef as the Counci t of Ministers, they are a hindrance to almost everything which coutd make a success of Europe and turn it into a finer and better p Lace. '

In addition to the exampLes cited above, the integration of the internal market in its various sectors formed the subject of numerous reports, such as those relating to the maximum permitted speed of agricultural forestry vehictes, the noise emission of heLicopters and domestic electricaI apptiances, the etectronics market and the market for buiLding machinery.

A working panty on matters relating to the internaL market chaired by Kar[ von !'IOGAU was the driving force behind initiatives to reduce technicaL, administrative and bureaucratic non-taliff obstacIes to trade and was aLuays wiLLing to dnaw attention to newLy-created barriers and p rotect ioni st measures.

rIt is quite cLear that we shatI not rega.in or retain our competitive position on internationat markets untiL the common Market becomes fuLLy operationat. we are not simp[y referring to the major issues in the community, we must aLso make progress in minor matters so that Lre can demonstrate tangible achievements to our citizens'. Taking that as its objective, the Working Party on Internat Frontiers drew up a resotution on the opening of the Community's intennaL frontiens. This was then entered in the register^ for signature by any Member- Within a few days it had been signed by more than one haLf of the Members of the Eurooean Partiament.

In the resotution, the European Partiament catled for the aboLition of checks on travetters and goods at the Communityrs internaI frontiers. 1 Doc. 1-345182 2 See ve rbat i m report of proceedings, 17 June 1982, I 115 Par L i ament caLLed specificaLly for: a substantiaL increase in duty free personaL atLowances for traveLLens, turnover taxes to be Levied when goods reached their destination instead of at the internaL frontier, and closer coooeration between the Member States when technicaI standards ane formu I ated.

The Eunopean ParLiament aLso wanted to see an end to the 'paper t,tarr at the Community's internaI frontiers which is particutarly enervating for smaLL and medium-sized undertakings. A uniform 'European trade document', restricted to essentiaL detai Ls, shouLd reptace the current five or six documents.

The European PeopLe's Party (Christian-Denocratic Group) took advantage of Europe Day in May 1982 to make the pubLic aware of its parl iamentany initiative. Despite the inctement weather, about one thousand persons, mainLy young peopLe attended a demonstration in Aachen, caLting for a 'Europe without banriers' at a ratLy organized by MEPs otmar FRANZ (EPP, Ger) and Kurt MALANGR' (EPD, Ger).

The Aachen 'AppeaI to Europe', which express[y urged the citizens of the Community to give a fresh impetus to efforts to achieve European unification, caLLed for: - unimpeded frontier crossings - without being stopped at the border. When Commun ity citizens cross an internat frontier, they shouId be aware that they ane Living in a singIe Community. We thenefore demand that passport controLs and customs checks be aboLished so that peopLe may cross frontiers without Let or hindrance; and - the free movement of goods - without any bureaucratic obstactes. It is essentiaI that the deLays and bureaucratic barriers hampering imports and exports be progressive[y reduced. We therefore demand rapid customs ctearance for goods in trans it. That entai ts spec ificaLLy the aboLition of technicaL barriers to trade and the ending of the ipaper warrat internaI frontiers. party FinaLLy, the working on InternaL Frontiers has atso considered a number of individuaI matters concerning improvements in the living and working conditions of peopte Living in areas close to the Community's internaI f rontier-s and fnont ier wo r ke rs.

This has resuIted to date in a substantiaL extension in the opening hours of one minor crossing point. The numerous frontier workers Living .in ALsace and working in the FederaL RepubLic of Germany have secured a notable improvement: they have now been given equaL status in sociaL secu|i ty matters t.,tith their coIleagues working in Alsace. Furthermore, they are now entitLed to a 90% reim- bursement in respect of their medicaI bit[s instead of 70y., as h,as the case previously.

Amendments tabLed in ptenary session estabtished a Iink between this report and the 1978 NOTENBOOM report, thus ensuring continuity. A working party on smaIL and medium-sized undertakings had been constituted in cooperation with members of the group of European Democrats and constantty monitored, and provided ass'i stance with, the preparation of this resotution on the situation of smatt and medium-sized undertakings in the Community. ;------'Doc. 1 -854/81 'oJ 1-280/87 1 "oJ 1-280/258, Sunday Telegraph 14 February 1982

117 One of the objectives of this wor"king party is the integration of SfvlU poLicy in aLI reLevant sectors. One exempte of this t.las the speech made by Fernand HERMAN during the debate on the retease of an initial tranche of 1,000 m ECU from the NCI faciLity to encourage investments': t... Energy saving, 'inf rastructure contributing to the devetopment of the regions, of smaLt and medium-sized firms are atso our priorities on condition, houever, that by infrastructure is aIso understood, for exampte, the tetematic network. ALso it goes without saying that aLL smatt and medium-sized firms shoutd not enjoy the same priori ty, It is not sufficient that they be smaL[, they must be weLL managed, financialty stabte and above aLL their activity and their investment must be forward looking, ie they must use new technologies or be situated in advanced technology sectors.r

SinitarLy KarI von woGAUz: 'If we want to safeguard and create jobs, ue must assure these firms of fair conditions of competition. If we want to eIiminate unempLoyment, we do not !,ant more civiI servants but more setf-enpLoyed peopLe. t'le need more young peop[e who are witIing, once they have completed their training, to take the risk of going it atone. There has been a shortage of such peopte in recent years.

Fo[lowing detai ted preparatory work by the working party on smaLt and medium-sized undertakings chaired by Jochen van AERSSEN (EPP/D) and Harry NOTENBOOM and the EMSU, the European SMU Union was formed on 7 May 1982 compli sing Christian-Democrats from smaLI and medium-sized business ci rctes in Itaty, IreIand, France, Luxembourg, Betgium, the NetherIands

118 The action progranme by PauI SCHNITKER (EPP/D) was adopted unanimousty and haiLed by the Assembly as'the Magna Charta of the SMUs'- Beginning with a review of the arguments for the importance of smalI and medium-sized undertak'ings for the viabiLity of a decentraIized market economy, for economi c stabitity, the safeguarding of employnrent, the achievement of necessary structuraI transformations and the so['id but f lex'ible underpinning of the nat.ionaI economy, this action programme creates the theoreticaI framework for an economi c pol,icy geared to maintaining freedom of competition and encouraging initiative ulhi te etiminating dirigiste approaches and bureaucratic constraints. More specificaL[y, the proposats in this document cover the areas of economic regulative poLicy, sociaI poticy, competition poIicy, financiaI poticy, cooperat ion htith the Third l|,ortd, enefgy probtems and matters retating to taxation and finance-

In cooperation with the European Association of smatI and Medium-sized Businessmen, the sMU work'ing party meets each month to draw up concrete proposats based on this document which are then discussed with the appropriate Commission officiats, Comrnissioner Narjes and representatives of the organisations concerned.

Plans are aLso go'ing ahead on this basis for 1985, the year of artisan trades and smaIL and medium-sized undertakings. PauI SCHNITKER who has been delegated as the EPP's representat ive on the 'Comit6 de Patronage' wiLI ensure that the events pLanned for 1983 fit within the framework of the action programme, lead to a coherent package of measures and do not evaporate in the ,heady air of the European Partiament'. The Gr"oup working party on sma[[ and medium-sized undertak ings wi[[ monitor and contribute actively to the work of Parliament, and report back to the Association.

119 Ersspsq!e-Isr-!!e-yecr-ebead-

It is safe to say that next year the work of the group wilt focus on broadLy similar aspects of economic poticy.

There are ptans for a new initiative in the sphere of conjuncturaL poLicy aimed at greater convergence on the basis of the stabitity di rect i ve.

In the fietd of reguLative policy, par[.iament wiLI once again have to debate the issue of codetermination.

A report on mergers which is to be presented by the Epp group wi[l be of cruciaI importance to regutat.ive and competition policy.

We hope to be abte to make even more progress towards the compLete integration of the internat market. The encouraging successes to date such as the increase in duty-free altowances must be foLtowed by more and more concrete measures. And we shatt continue to highl,ight the probIems associated with the obvious and disguised barriers at borders-

And the EPPis group's poLicy on smatL and medium-sized undertak ings witI become even more important in 1983 which has been designated by the European Parliament as the year of the artisan trades and sma[[ and medium-si zed undertak inqs.

120 COMMITTEE ON EXTERNAL ECONOMIC RELATIONS

A) ENERGY

Policy or strategy can be defined as the generaI principte which governs a body of decisions, subject to a variety of constraints and tending towards a stated objective.

A poLicy is not, thenefore, a cataLogue of decisions but a predeter- m.ined and exptic.i t framework of reasoning Uithin which decisions wi[[ be shaped. The formulation of a poIicy means defining f rom.the outset two posit.ions within the fietd of activity: the point of departure and the objective. The members of the EPP have frequent Ly recatLed in discussions and during the drafting of reports that a component part of any poLicy shoul-d be the indication of unacceptabte methods, the time-span and the means avaitabLe.

0n the spec.i fic question of an energy poIicy account must be taken of reality by defining the dimensions of the situation as it stands. At present the situation is as fotLows: - weLL-being depends on the fuLfiLment, so far unsatisfied, of the needs expressed by present patterns of consumption; - the fuLfi lment of these needs in the present state of technoLogy requires the use of energy, provided in large part today by oiL; - the wortd does not have sufficient quantities of oiL to satisfy [ong- range dema nds; - there are other sources of energy, not entirety devoid of harmfuI side-effects, which coutd serve as substitutes for oiL'

If this is the point of departure the objective, as we are att now at,are, must be to adapt the concept of weLl--being to dependabte forms of primary energy since instabitity is now the haL[mark of oiL'

BroadLy speak.ing, the methods avaitabLe for attaining this objective are ctearty timited. TheY are: - Modifying patterns of consumption,

- Modi fying production techniques, - substituting oiL with coat, gas and nucLear energy (nuclear fission reactors); L2L - Exptoiting other energy resources.

Obviousty atL these methods have their drawbacks and a[[ involve responsibi Iities, changes in out took and risks of one sort or another. In formutating an energy pol-icy ue must face up to reaLity, by deciding to act p9!i!iy9!y_qnd_fg!iggg!!y, with a view to minimizing yet accepting the inevitab[e sacrifices. Later on we shatt see how these ideas have been taken up by members of the EPP within the Committee on Ener.gy and Research.

The preceding remarks coutd serve as a generat preambte to an enengy policy for any nation or continent. The difference Iies in the preferentiaI emphasis each country p[aces on the a[ternative methods outIined above and particularty in the urgency which a country places on attaining its objective. WhiLe the oit crisis raises the same basic long-term obtigations for a[[, nonethetess in the short-term it invoIves different compromises, obstacLes and ueaknesses for. each country.

It fotlows that the energy poticy of the USA, for exampte, wi[[ d.i f i'er from that of the USSR, the Arab wor[d or Europe.

For the Arabs the scarcity of oiL represents an advantage and u[timatety a miLitary ueapon. The USSR is setf-sufficient in energy and a potentiaI exporten of its resources. The USA produces huge amountsi of energy but consumes even more vast amounts.

SeIf-sufficiency in energy cou[d become a conditioning factor in the internationaI policy of the United States, a weak point in.i ts strategic ptanning. For structuraI reasons, the European countries and Japan have to purchase energy suppties and as long as there is oiL on the market they witL be naturaI buyers. The United States has the capacity to become self-sufficient in energy in the short-term but these other countries do not.

l'le shatI now examine how the work of the Committee on Energy and Research fits into this context and more particutarty the contribution by members of the EPP.

In the past year, the Committee on Energy and Research (chaired by Mrs Hanna WALZ (EPP-D), an expert on energy poLicy r,lho was ne-etected during ',l982 as chairman of the committee) in addition to its advisory

r22 role has consistentLy and often vigorous[y urged the Counci I and the Commission, through its own-initiative reports and resotutions, to increase its efforts to drau up a common enengy poticy based on a Community out Iook.

The Commission undertook to expand its own ideas on the guidetines for an energy poLicy within the context of its work connected r,rith the Mandate of 30 May 1982. It came up with proposals which the committee has carefuLly considered.

In connection with the problems of an economic, potiticaI and strategic nature arising from the use of oi[, Mn M0LLER-HERMANN (EPP-D) has been particuLarty forcefuI in his efforts to draft an opinion on the creation of a European financiat instrument for the recycLing of petro-doLtars to increase and diversify worLd energy suppIies' and the opinion on the estabIishment of a Eunopean oit-purchasing aorp"nyt.

Mr M(JLLER-HERMANN (EPP-D) has drafted two reports which are widety acknowLedged as providing a lucid and weLl-resear"ched anatysis of some of the fundamenta L aspects of the oiI sector. Kart FUCHS (EPP-D) has been directty invoLved in anatyzing some of the probLems posed by the suppLy of petroteum products by drafting a mot ion for a resotution3 retating to directives on the minimum LeveI fon stocks of crude oiI and petroteum oroducts.

Mr K. FUCHS has stressed the need to calI on the Commission to formuLate a draft directive on the harmonization of measures for maintaining minimum st oc ks.

Stitt on the question of energy poLicy, Mr Gunter RINSCHE (EPP-D) gave a bri ILiant exposition of the report on the aspects and requi rements of coa t supp I i es fon the Eunooean Communities*.

According to Mn RINSCHE the expansion of the Community coaL sector is dependent on two factors: demand patterns and the tnend of coaL pri ces on both the worLd and Community markets. The main points of the report drawn

:------'Doc. 1 -779/80 'Doc. 1-496/81 ? 'Doc. 1-'1066/81 -Doc. 1-1 76180

123 up by Mr RINSCHE (D) are:

(a) recognition of pit-coaL as the Communityrs most i mpo rt ant source of

ene r gy,

(b) revivaI of the European coaL poIicy,

Mr RINSCHE atso had the opportuni ty to express his views on this subject during the discussion on the report on the importance of coaI in a Commun ity energy strategy'.

The objective which emerges fnom these reports and from other documents produced by the committee is to ensure a stabLe and lasting supp[y of enerrJy by concentrating on the expansion of Community resources (for exampLe through the exploitation of European coaL).

The Commission has aLso undertaken to encourage energy saving and to deveLop a tternat i ve energy sources.

The Committee on Energy and Research feeLs that priority shou[d be gir;en to a more rapid aLignment of nationaL energy policies in order to ensure continuity and to bridge effectivety many of the gaps. It atso feels thal: the success of a joint project shou[d not depend excLusivety on financing from the Community budget. Many of the objectives it Lays down can and shouLd be pursued through the improved coondination of nationat poticies and by harmonization of the tegislative procedures- The foLlowing are areas of operation which the committee feets shouLd be given priority Community aid:

Achievement of an adequate levet of investment for atternative energy resources and for the more rationaI use of energy. Mention was made earLien of the contribution by Mr RINSCHE; to this shou[d be added the decisive infLuence of the EPP Group in the discussion of the reports on Community energy strategyr nu.Ie".2, coaL3, energy sauing4.,

124 With regard to the nuclear sectof the speech made by Mr MihaiL PROTOPAPADAKIS (EPP-GR) during the part-session of June 1982 is, among other, worthy of note:

'I aLso support the Pintat report, because I beIieve that r.re need un- l-imited and abundant energy and that the use of nuctear energy is a vaLuable means of meeting this need. Without abundant energy' it t,liLL be impossibLe to maintain the cuLture which we in Europe have created, nor can ue entertain the hope that other countries can attain an equalLy high Living standard. Consequentty, there are sociaL and cutturaL, as weLl as economic, reasons for promot ing the use of nuctear energy. Indeed artists and phi losophers and those ecotogists who are opposed to nucLear energy use the very same energy to devetop thejr ideas and their artistic or phiLosophicaL tatents.

SCIENTlFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL RESEABEH

The committee,s work this year has centred on scientific research poticy. consideration of probLems in this fieLd has concentrated on both general and sectorat aspects of the individuaI areas of community action.

l ooc- 1-3?/81

L25 The quaLity of work within the committee has improved considerab[y compared with tast year thanks in particutar to the highty skilted contribution by members of the EPP.

Mario SASSANO (EPP-I) was rapponteur for the Community's muIti-annual nuctear fusion research programme'. Both in his report and during the discussions Mr SASSANO emphasized the importance of cont inuing research in this sector, ascribing to the Commission the responsibi Lity for coordinating the activities of the Member States. He fe[t that the Commission shouLd pLay a [arger part in the internationaI arena to ensure greater effectiveness in present and future operations.

He suggested that neu proposats be considered for the nuclear fusion sector and atso for a new tine of research which, in conjunction lrith current activities, cou[d hetp to reduce construction time for the first thermonuc tear fusion reactor.

Coming at a particuIarIy diff icul,t tine, this proposaL r.las, nonetheLess, favourabty received by the European Partiament. As Mar^io SASSAN0 requested, the Commission has now provided for the creation of a panel of experts to examine the feasibiLity and the scientific vatue of this Iine of research.

The report by Mr LINKOHR (S0C-D) on a European research policy provided the basis for a wider debate and the members of the EPP took an active part both in the discussions and in the finat drafting of the resotution.

The members of the EPP took the opportunity to stress that a pragmatic approach to the achievement of a stated socio-economic objective wou[d be inappropriate since it wouLd preclude utiLizing the whote range of Community financiaI and fiscal measures, regulations and aids for innovation.

The situation catts for the formulation of an ovenatI strategy, whose general outlook and guidelines woutd be subject to overatt agreement and which would create a context in which the objectives and options of Community uork on research and devetopment coutd be approved without disrupting work already in progress.

1ooc. 1-433/81

!zo The guiding princip[es behind a Community research poticy are:

- capitatizing on Community achievements by incorporating them into a gLobat st rat egy,

- exptoiting the advantages provided by the European dimension.

Within the energy sector there is a need to intensify research into energy saving and into alternative fuets, to strengthen the Iinks between envi ronmentaL research, energy research (e.9. coa[) and agricuIturaI research (e.9. agricutturaI waste-products) and to expand assistance to research and development in certain traditionat industries currentty faced lrith difficulties. It wil.! atso be necessary to draw futty on the achievements of modern biotogy, informati cs, communi cation science and automation.

Mrs ALphonsine PHLIX (EPP-B) who joined the committee in 1982, produced a report on the exptoitation of the sea-bedl in which she emphasized the advantages to be gained from a more decisive and united approach to the vast resources of the sea-bed.

Mr Atberto GHERGO (EPP-I) drafted a report on the new research programme in the sector of medicine and pubtic heaLth which the Community has proposed to the Councit for 1982/1986.

Finalty, mention should be made of the exceltent report by Mr Lambert CRoUX (EPP-B) on the research and deveLopment programme in the raul materiats sector (1982-1986)-.

Lzi 1ZB COMMITTEE ON EXTERNAL ECONOMIC RELATIONS

1. General preliminary remarks

lJork in the period of the report r{ra s overshadowed on the one hand by the general situation of world economic recession, and on the other by external political developments that included the Polish crisis, the Falklands crisis, and the measures Eaken co deal with Ehem' atiEh consequent adverse effect on exports and indusEry.

In spite of all exEernal and internal difficulties, the conunitEee succeeded in chalking up a number of successes in ics parliamentary work and in introducing a number of new, progressive developments: e.g.r as to relations rn'i Eh SouEh America, talks with Ehe ambassadors of the Latin American staEes; as to improvements i. @, .t orderly consultation procedure; as to the important and delicate ggge relations with Japan, a hearing wich a Japanese Government delegation; as to developmenEs in European supplies of agriculEural products from third countries, a hearing hrith the importerst organizations for the different agricultural producEs. Especially important rtere the ralks etith the Israeli Ambassador in connection with the prolongation and extension of protocols and treaties, but above all in connecEion with projeitions for a plan to reform and develop the Mediterranean economy, having regard in particular Eo the enlargement of the Cornmunity towards the South and the development of Ehe global Mediterranean policy of the EEc.

The Cormnittee on ExEernal Economic Relations was able to give important backing Lo other conunitEees, generally in the form of opinions on, for example, a number of discussions on conclusion of Ehe Convention on the taqr of the Sea, and its further development (for the Legal Affairs Cormnirtee), on che Poland embargo - in particular reactions as to trade and credit policy (for the Polirigal Affairs Connnittee), on the Falklands conflict (for the Political Affairs Comnittee and rhe EP-Latin American Delegation), on the problem of cereals substitutes(for the Committee on AgricuLture), and on the Afghanistan conflicE

r29 Economic disputes with the United States' where Ehe possibiLity of a trade war cannot be excluded, were discussed repeatedly. The main areas of interest were agricultural policy, simplification of export subsidies, problems of embargoes, developmenL aid policy (tapioca, manioc - for the Commitree on Agriculture), Ehe complaints of the US steeL indusEry (anti-durnping action - urgenE motions l-L002 /81 and 1-1010/81) and the natural gas conEracEs wich Ehe ussR (urgent moEions 1-1009/81 and 1-1018i81).

The commiEtee unanimously supported Ehe proposal put to it by the Pres ident-in-Office of the Council, Mr Tindemans, for regular consulEations to be set up beElreen the EEC and the United SEates.

The cofiunittee will draw up an ovm-initiaEive report on EEC-USA relations in the winter of 1982.

measure due etork expertise and These successes are in Large to the ' political commitment of commitEee members from the EPP group, reho were well served by their spokesman, Renzo FILIPPI (I) and Ehe cofinittee Vice-chairrnan, Jochen vAN AERSSEN (D). Sjouke JONKER (NL)' Erik BLUMENFELD (D) and J. VAN AERSSEN worked on Ehe furEher development of institutional matEers and the inEroduction of new consticuEional instruments to screngthen the European Cornrnuni ty (e.9. ratification of Erade treaties, improvements to the Luns-WesEerterp procedure, strengthening Ehe supervisory funcEions of Parliament vis-l-vis the Council and Ehe Conunission, inasmuch as these falt within the terms of reference of the ConrmitEee on External Economic Rel-ations. The basic sEandpoint of the EPP group is Eo keeP matEers of external econornic relaEions free as far as possible of ideology, emotion, irrelevanL poLitical exaggeration and demogogic argumenEs. The extraordinarily high export dependency of the EEC makes iE essential to deal with sensitive trade and economic problems r^riEh objecEivity, sober calculaEion and a responsible sense of reaLity. This basic approach of ehe EPP members has been largely responsible for the objecEive style of work of Ehe comnitEee.

130 2. Reports and questions discussed in plenary siEting

2.1 The accession of Greece to Ehe EEC made iE necessary, for legal and technical reasonsr to rnodify EEC proEocols, agreements and treaEies, in particular Ehose with third counEries. This was generally unproblemaEical from the poinE of view of content' but special consideraEion had to be given Eo certain Mediterranean agricultural products (wine, olive oil, citrus fruics) esPecially from Ehe point of view of the subsequent enlargemenE of Ehe European communi.ty to rhe south and in expectation of a framework plan for a global approach to economic development in the Mediterranean. These reporcs, including, for example:

- regulation concluding a protocol co the cooperaEion agreement betsteen the EEc and Ehe Kingdom of Morocco and the cooperation agreement between Ehe EEC and ehe Syrian Arab Republic consequent on the accession of the ltellenic Republic to Lhe Comnunity(l),

- conclusion of a protocol to the agreemenL between the EEC and the State of Israel consequent upon the accession of the l{ellenic Republic to che Community( 2 )

were closely followed-up by R. FILIPPI, Carlo STELLA (I), Antonio DEL DUCA (I) ANd E. BLIJMENFELD.

2.2 The improved Luns-WesEerterp procedure was implemented for Ehe firsE Eime in Ehe cormniEtee in the Presence of the Pres ident-in-of fice of che Council, Paul DE KEERSMAEKER, and the Conrnissioner, Etienne DAVIGNON, on 17 February 1982 in SErasbourg, on the occasion of the renewal of the Multifibre Arrangement (3) and Ehe role of the European ParliamenE in negotiaEioa and ratification of acEs of accession. On Ehe renewal of the Multifibre ArrangemenE the comrnitEee succeeded in reaching a general strategy with the Corrunission, so that the round of negotiations could be successfully concluded. The conuriEtee is aware Ehat our cenEral objective musE now be to complemenE Ehe framework agreement of Geneva bilaterally. This is a matter of exceptional importance for the

l_31 long-suffering textile industry and the addirional numbers of jobs thaE are at risk, but it al-so poses serious probLems for the developing countries and threshold countries (the latter group includes South Korea, Taiwan, Macao and Hongkong). This is a matLer of overriding interest, in that during the currency of the previous arrangement 700,000 to 800,000 jobs were lost in the textile industry in the Conrmunity; it is now a macEer of giving internal industries a breathing space. These argumenEs were outlined on behalf of the group by Raphael CHANTERIE (EPP/B) in one of the debales on the renewal of the Multifibre Arrangement (1), on an Oral Question by Michael WELSH (ED/UK), on behalf of the Cormnittee on ExEernal Econornic Relations. to the Council.

2.3 The report by Louise MOREAU (EPP/F) on the Cornmunityt s suppLies of mineral and vegetable raw materials (2) whictr provoked highly controversial discussion, initially in Ehe group working party and then on six occasions in connnittee, is one of the mosE important comnitEee reports ever produced, since it concerns the fundamental problerns of securing a future economic existence. The Christian Democrats thus scored a notable success on Ehis important matter against the resistance of the other parties, who could conceive of no other solution to this vital problem fhan one based on economic direction by the sfate. The maintenance of international markets in primary products and supply lines; by private initiative was strongly defended by Prince Casirnir of SAYN-WITTGENSTEIN (EPP/D) .

The report thus contains extensive documentation on such matters as European irnport dependency, the situaEion on the major raw materials markets, production and world trade, projects and reserves, prospected quantities, production quantiLies, world trade prices and price trends, and the EECIs self-supply rate. On the basis of these data, the report points to - Europe's need for and dependency on raw material supplies if it is to maintain economic activity so es to meet all its international comnitments and secure job prospects for its population,

I32 the possibility of a serious threaE Eo supplies Ehat could lie outside the EEC's tattgb of influence,

problems of relations between producer and consumer countries,

the fact Ehat most European governments cannot guarantee securiEy of supplies at the level of individual firms,

Ehe catasLrophic consequences of any breakdown of supplies,

the urgenE need for consolidated action at Conununicy level to provide early warnings of impending raw-material shortages,

the need Eo step up efforts to raise Lhe self-supply rate of the EEC.

2.4 SEAL ReporE (S/GB): Regulation on the conclusion of an agreement for connnercial and economic cooperaEion between the European Economic Cormnunitv and India (1) (oelate on 16 october 1981).

The Indian Ambassador was invited Eo discussion of rhis agreement. The great imporEance of EEC trade relaEions with India, especially for Ehe future, tras stressed with particular regard Eo Indiat s strong economic and population growEh, changes in Indian agriculture (irrigation) and fhe opportunities for new, complementary dynamic conunercial relaEions on the basis of comparable advantage and mutual benefit, $tithouc endangering assisEed secEors in Ehe Communicy. The agreement should enable economic and trade policy cooperation to be sErengthened and give an imPeEus to India's economic and social deveLopment. This highly significant agreemenE was monitored by Louse MOREAU (EPP/F) and C. SAYN-WITTCENSTEIN for our group.

(nebate 2.5 Jochen VAN AERSSEN (EPPID) tabled an g.ra 1 Que s.!i e! on GATT (2) on 13 May 1982) on the negotiations scheduled for November 1982, as a means of enabling Parliament to exert some influence on the Conrnission's preparations for Ehese negoEiations. Where treaties of such extensive and long-term imporEance are concerned the European Parliament cannot be excluded or be expected to act as a mere rubber sEamp. GATT raould be a

133 decisive watershed in trade policy, in particular as regards the critical situation of the European naEional economies and the danger of world- wide protectionism, which always tended to be seen as a cure-alL in times of economic recession. The conflict wich the USA (steel exporEs, gas- pipeline contracts, agriculture products ), Japan and Third CounEries (especially developing and Ehreshold countries) made Ehis an issue of vilal economic importance. It would be essential to use the GATT negotiaEions and treaties as a means of staving off an irnpending trade war, eliminating discriminatory measures and achieving optimum levels of free trade, quite apart from the danger of yeE more jobs being destroyed in Ehe Community. J. vAN AERSSEN provided the Comnittee on External Econornic Relations with its first in-depth assessment of trade relations between Japan and the EEC in the presence of the personal emissary of the Japanese Prime Minister Mr SUZUKI, Senator ESAKT, and the Conrnissioners Mr IIAFERI'"AMP, Mr NARJES and Mr ANDRIESSEN.

2.6 The report by l,tichael WELSH (ED/UK) on Connnunity anti-dumping measures (1), adopted unanimously in the connnittee, qras considered on 15 December 1981 in plenary sitting. The EPP group, under its shadow rapporteur, Gerd Ludwig LEMMER (EPP/D) had supported this report from the beginning. The report calls on the Commission to adopt a speedier and more effective procedure to regulate the dunping problems of European underEakings and citizens. These inc lude

provision of additional locations by the Conmission, sinplification and speeding up of procedures by the Conrnission, action on measures that darnage the market in the long term, and those that cause significant market disEortions in the short term, safeguards for the righEs of defendenEs, strict confident ia 1i ty, consequential strengthening of GATT rules, a new Cornrnit Eee of Experts of the Court of Justice.

J.Jq 2.7 The CARETT0NI RoMAGN0LI (coM/I) (1) report on the Situation in the foot"ea. f"a"stty i was supported by the shadow raPPorteur' Vincenzo GI0UMMARRA (EPP/I), who urged support for the vital interests of Ehe small and medium-sized Italian footwear undertakings. Members of the EPP group have always sought to strengthen the special key role of small and medium-sized firms in external economic policy, although this fundamenEal question has hitherto been neglected. It is particularly gratifying that all groups gave their supPorE to this fundamental concern of rhe Christian Democrets. In view of the critical situation of the European footwear indusEry - owing to newly introduced inPort quota restrictions and tariff quota systems in developed countries, a high level of protectionism in third countries, the comPlete opening of the Courmunity market, strong price variations on prirnary Product rnarkets and the predoDinantly small and medium-sized structure of the industry - the Commission is asked:

to open up access to markets in third countries, to secure sufficient supplies of raw materials on international markets, to negotiate the abolition of import restrictions in Japan, Canada and New Zealand, to impose appropriate restrictions on access for newly industrialized countries that have closed their markets' to improve production conditions for snal1 and medium-sized undertakings through various suPport measures, to negotiate appropriate transitional arrangements in accession negotiations with Spain.

It was no coincidence that the committee took this decision in Como, rhe centre of the European foocwear industry. It also availed itself of the opportunity to hold talks nith leading representatives of IEalian industry in the automobile (Agnel1i), ElecEronics (teng) and texEiles (paselli) industries, in preparation for forthcoming decisions.

135 3. Reporrs concluded in cormnittee buE not yer debated in plenary sitEing

3.1 A report of fundamental importance is Ehat by Hans-Joachim SEELER (S/D) (1) on the , in particular Lrade embargoes and boycotts, r,richin Ehe framework of EEC external relations. This is a central concern of the EPP group and was entrusted in particular to C. SAYN-WITTGENSTBIN. 0n the basis of Ehe EPP progranme, the latter urged a reporE free of ideology and unburdened by emotional considerations. The report shows, on the basis of historical developments, thar boycotts and trade sancEions, unless enforced by military means, are hardly ever, or only very parLially, effective, and Ehat the backlash (loss of exports and jobs, trade diversions, destruction of markets and economic structures) can often have very grievous consequences for the countries initiating the boycott. At best Ehe boycoEE may have a part Eo play in terms of irs psychological impact, having a possible deterrent effect on political oPPonents. Council and Cormnission are Lherefore urged noE Eo impose or associate themselves wiLh any generalized and unenforceable economic sanctions, and in cases where political considerations make these unavoidable, to Eake specific and pointed measures Ehat can be quickly implemenred. This means taking a good number of factors into consideration (e.g. ,tnreserved, consequential cooperaEion in solidarity wich all Member SEates, general exclusion of derogations, exclusion of measures based on racist or religious discrimination, equal distriburion of Ehe ensuing burden among all the Member States). This joint success of the Committee of ExEernal Economic

Relations can prepare the way for a progressive c ornmon embargo policy by the EEC, the United SEates, Japan and, above all, Ehe 0ECD countries.

f.2 The DE CLERCQ (2) report on relations between the European Community and the East European state-trading countries including COMECON was adopted on 23 June 1981 in committee with the help of EPP-Group votes. It covers Ehe state of relations betrnreen the EEC and Ehe EasL European staEe-trading countries and their institutional peculiarities, specific problems and future prospects, having regard to the fundamental importance of East-West trade and the inpact of the oil crisis on the COMECON countries.

136 Following Mr DE CLERCQ's departure from Ehe European Parliament, the report was brought up-to-date by Ulrich IRMER (L/D) (1) and was placed on the agenda of fhe plenary sitting of 16 September 1982. This report is of particular interest to the German members of the cornmilEee; the shadow rapporteur is Marlene LENZ (EPP/D) who is well versed in maEters of East-West t rade .

During the October 1981 part-session, Ortensio ZECCHINO (EPP, I) presented to Partiament the report he had drawn up on behalf of the Legat Affairs Committee on the proposat from the Commission to the CounciL for e-tcgetd-dirce!iv9-s9!qcMne-ingulq!9e-eeei!9!-siyr!-!Lebi!i!v-rn-legpeq! 9l-lhg-Cle-S!-qS!gC-ygbf9!98'. In presenting his report, the rapporteur outLined the main features of the new Commun ity legistation as fottows: 'The draft directive that ParIiament has to consider is intended to con- tjnue the harmonizat ion of the Iaws of fvlember States relating to insurance against civiL Liabitity for motor vehicIes. This is an area of particuLar soc.iaI importance, and aLso of especiaI significance in promoting trade --. As regards specific Community precedents, the directive draws on the directive of 24.4.1972 which, based on the existing rgreen card', aimed at an improvement in the harmonizat ion of LegisLation, provided for the aboLition of frontier checks bet!,teen Member States and introduced the possibitity of cLaims for damages caused by uninsured vehicles - naturaLty aLways in the context of computsory insurance. This draft directive is founded on this precedent- The directive consists of f ive articLes and has two fundamentaI objectives: the technicaL improvement of certain provisions in the 1972 dinective, and increased protection fop the victims of accidents. It thus extends computsory insurance to cover damage to property as weLL as personaI injuries, raising the ceiting and guaranteeing uniform minimum ceitings in Communi ty territory for personal injuries caused by unidentified vehictes, and inctuding the driverrs fami Ly among the insurance beneficiaries. A batance ought to be struck between these two goa[s set by the draft directive, and the LegaI Affairs Committee has worked in this direction whiLe emphasizing another necessity, that is, the containment of costs to the benefit of consumers --. ArticLe 1 of the directive stipuLates that the insurance contract shaLI be extended to cover damage to propenty. This provision is particuLarLy directed towards the United Kingdom where insurance cover for damage to property is sti tt not compuLsory. Articte 1 aIso provides for the estabLishment of guaranteed minimum ceilings in each Member State..- ArticLe 1(3) provides for compensation for damage to property or for personaL injuries caused by an unidentified or uninsured vehicLe. This is an issue wh.i ch the Legat Affai rs Committee has considered with great care. Consultation 1ooc. 1-427 181

139 t"tith a number of advisory groups, incLuding the Economic and SociaI committee, has Ied the committee to beIieve that it would be advisabte to timit the extension of cover to purely personaI injur.i es caused by an unidentified vehicIe. Articte 2 is designed to protect the injured party llhere individual tegislations a[[ow the existence of contractuaI provisions which would in some Hay exempt, the insurer from paying compensation. The Legal Affairs committee has in my opinion improved the text of the directive by expressIy providing for ctauses which Limit the insurerrs responsibitity - ctauses which, once adopted, cannot be used to deny compensation when the damage is caused by a vehicLe driven by persons without authorization or a vatid driver,s Licence, or when the vehicle is being driven in breach of technical tegaL regulations or safety standards- ArticLe 3 of the draft directive extends insurance cover to members of the driver's famiLy. The committee has debated whether to provide such cover on[y for personat injuries or to extend it to incLude damage to propertyr the committee has f inal,ty decided in favour of the excLusion of damage to property for the simpte and obvious reason that its inc[usion coutd potentia .y give rise to abuse. Artic[e 4 aims at the technical impnovement of the text of the 1972 directive. BasicalLy it amends the definition of 'tenritory' by adopt ing the criterion of the territory where the vehicLe is negistered rather than that of the Member state where rne vehicLe is most frequent[y driven. The LegaL Affairs comm.ittee has also decided in favour of an amendment, marginaI perhaps but meaning- ful, which specifies that the registration ptate must be property issued, in order to avoid abuses occasioned by a simpIe reference to the registration ptate. The committee has had to face a poLiticaLLy sensitive problem with regard to ArticLe 5. As was said before, there is a need to increase ceiLings; such increases woutd inevitabty provoke serious donestic consequences for the generaI economy - for inflation in particutar - in the Member States where much tower ceitings are currentLy permitted; Greece and Ita[y are a case in point. For these reasons the LegaI Affairs comrn ittee proposes a progressive 'imptementation of the new minimum cei Lings so that the Member states which at present have Iower ceiIings may approach the higher timits ca[led for in the directive by graduat stages. There is a series of amendments on this point which seek to extend the two-year deadLine estabtished by the LegaI Affairs committee for compIiance |rith the directive''.

140 shortLy before ParLiament proceeded to adopt the nepoft in question, Mr Tugendhat, expressing the position of the commiss.i on, declared: ,Three parLiamentary committees have examined the proposal- - particutarIy, of course/ the LegaI Affairs committee, whose rapporteur, Mr Zecchino, introduced the debate this afternoon. I wou[d Like to pay tribute to his report and to the speech he made and to say that we agree with the great bulk of t',hat he said, as i think wi LI become apparent',.

In the foLlowing December, it was James Janssen vAN RAAY (Epp, NL) who, on behaLf of the LegaI Affairs committee, pfesented to parLiament the report on !h9-pr9p9s9!-fu90-!!g-lsooiqersn-!9-!bc-q9u91!-lsr-e_drrcq- !tv9-!e!9ernt!s-!b9-crergttc-sl-!he-rtsh!_91_epp9q!_t!_re!p9q!_91_gu9!els qe!!g!!. Here, in his own words, the rapporteur exptains the nature of rThe the community initiative in question: report on the harmon.i zation of rights of appeal in customs matters is one of those smatt, essentiat steps, one of those smaLL etements which wiLt he[p to perfect the customs union. As you know, the customs union is oneof the most important pil.Lars of the common market. Despite the considerabLe progress that has been made, we have not yet perfected the customs union since the estabLishment of the European Economic community- Although the common market is one of th.i s communityrs two goaLs, we are stiLt working on.i t. !,Je of the LegaL Affairs committee - and r was also pleased to read the repont of the commrttee on Economi c and Monetary Affairs - particuIarly weLcome the fact that the commission has taken this step. I rea[ize, of course, that onLy a smatl group of peop[e are affected, but they are extremely important with regard to the comptetion of the common market and the customs union. It is, after att, they who are responsibte for traffic across frontiers, .i t.is they who are discriminated against as a r-esuLt of differences .in treatment that Lead to distortions of trade, trade that woutd be effected differentLy if we had a proper customs un.ion,z.

The rapporteur then stressed the neasons which had Led him to propose a singte, but important amendment to the commission proposaI to the LegaI Affairs committee - which agreed Hith him on this pojnt. The amendment is designed to extend the powers of the court of Justice to enable .i t to be given prior notice of cases pend.ing before nationaI criminaI courrs where the proceedings arise because of infri ngements of community customs

1Ooc. 1-665/81, expIanatory statement, III' point 13

t42 I. On 1l May 1982 the European parliament adopced a report by a large majority, which had been drawn up on behalf of lhe Legal Affairs commitEee by Aart GEURTSEN (LIB - NL) on Ehe proposal from Ehe Cornmission of the European Conmunities Eo the Council for a Fifrh Directive on the structure of soci6t6s anonYmes and the rs and obligqtions of their organs. A Little less than len years had passed since the council had forwarded this proposal t.o Ehe European Parliament in November L972 in accordance with Ehe consulEation procedure laid down in Arricle 54 of che IIEC Treatv which constiEutes the main Iegal basis for the proposal.

How is it thac the European parliamenE - usually so impatient h,ith the sluggishness experienced in some sectors which oughE Eo be underpinning community integration, due rnainly Eo the council of Ministerst inabiliry to reach decisions - should itself have Eaken so long to perform its own task which is uo be Ehe CommuniEyrs forum for political debate?

l.Je shall aEtempt Eo provide an ansr4rer fo this legitimate quesEion by following Ehe progress of the proposal for a Fifth DirecEive through ParliamenE.

rr. During the study Days organized by the chr i s t ian-Dernocra t. ic Group of Ehe 'oldf European Parliamen! in Namur in October L973, a paper was presented by

Peter BRUGGER (SVP - I) who r^'a s af that Eime the Legal Affairs Committee's rapporteur on the t SEalutes of the European Company'. These rstaEulesr, once adopEed by the Community, would have esEablished fhe possrbility of setting up IimiEed companies witn a uniform structure in any of che Merober Slates of rhe Comnunity which would in particular - !hrough che rsupervisory boardr borrowed from the tlro-tier system current in Che Federal Republic of Germany and the Netherlands and hence a necessary elemenE of these tStaEut.esr - ensure the participaEion of elecEed representatives of Ehe companyrs own hrorkers in ifs decision-making procedures. The folLowing quotations from Peter BRUGGERTs speech taken from the report on Lhe Study Days give a very good account of the situation at the ourset of the parliamenlary process which began hri.th these 'Statutesr but which was held up during the many years the Fifth Directive on socidtds anonymes - a subject. closely related to the tStatutest - continually appeared on Parliament's agenda and Parliamen! found itself unable to deliver a definicive opinion upon it.

143 ,.... IE should be clearly sEaEed at rhis point thau politically signifi- canE debaEes lrere Eo be expecEed on Chis maEEer because of the lively inleresE the SocialisE and CommunisE represenEaEives had shown in this proposed regulation on other occasions ... I! became increasingly cl-ear from Ehe discussions EhaE a conflict qras taking place beEween Ewo opposing but essentially socio-economic concePEs in Lhe evaluaEion of Che two facEors, capital and labour. The Socialist Group was no! conEent wiCh the esEablishment of a balance belween capital and labour but sought. the predominance of Ehe Iabour facEor which could mean a radical change in t.he exisEing economic might have in systen of the CommuniEy '^rith Ehe incalculable consequences thaE weakening enErepreneurial initiaCive ... The resulEs of Che discussions and voEing in connection with the finalizaEion and adoprion of Ehe regulation laying down stacutes for the European Company will no doubE have their repercussions on directives under Aruicles 54, 58 and 100 of Ehe EEc Treaty for Ehe approximagion of certain of lhe Member StaEest legal provisions ...t (r).

III. Pecer BRUGGER could not have been a better ProPhec' as ltas shown some years laEer by a surprise move made just before lhe direcc elections by the then rapporEeur on Ehe proposal for a Fifth DirecEive, Manfred SCHMIDT (SOC - D), afcer a period of some lethargy, during Ehe lasE meeting of the 'old' Parliamentrs Legal Affairs CourmiEtee which had been convened for an extra- ordinary meeting during the final part-session in April 1979. Supported by rabsEenEiont Ehe members of his Group and wiCh Che complacenE of the Cornmunists, Ehe raPPorteur managed Eo PuE through a series of amendments Eo Che Cornmission's proposal for a FifEh DirecEi.ve which radically alEered its scope in a number of areas and descroyed its credibility. without going inco details, the new plan cornpleCely lacked the flexibility which would enable it Eo be adopted by the council of l"linisters for applicaEion chroughouE Ehe Communicy and, on the naEEer of management, v/ent well beyond r,fha! was pracEised in t.he only two Member States - the Federal Republic of Germany and lhe Netherlands - in which the sysEem had been tried and was gradually being conso l idated.

Eo reter Ltre proposal back Eo c onni t lee.

rv. i.lhat are the moEives underlying Ehe more abstruse than extreme stand taken by the socialists in the European parliament with communist support on this measure' the mosE important effect of which would.be to give workers seats on the managemenr bodies of companies in whaE are now the ten Member States of the CommuniEv ?

These motives can be summarized as follows:

- rn view of the great division on lhe subject within the European Left in general, Ehe idea of community legislation ro encourage co-management in each and every Member State caused and still causes confusion and embarrassment in socialist and communisE ranks, parts of which renain firmly fixed to the traditional idea of class struggle and consequenEly regard the idea of workers sharing responsibility for operaEing the capitalist economy as an unaccep!able and degenerate ideological deviation.

- since iE was difficult, for general poritical reasons, to take up an openry hosEile attitude to the measure - a liberry possibry open only !o the French Communists - a cleverer and more useful alternative tacEic was found of demanding everything straighE away so as to undermine the graduar approach which is, in fact, the only one capable of making any headway at cornmunity leve 1 .

- rf this sErategy had succeeded in the House, it would have meant first of arl that the Menber staEes in which the greaEer part of the political and trade union Left were far from happy with the idea of workers sharing responsibility in company decision-making bodies would have been less likety Eo have to introduce their own imprementing legislation on the basis of Cornmunity 1aw.

V. To explain fully che background to Ehe referral ot Ehe proposal for a Fifth DirecEive by the ne$rly elecLed European ParliamenE back to Ehe Legal Affairs CommitLee, one should also menEion Ehe Liberalsr and Ehe matLer' conservaEivest ha lf-heartednes s about making any Progress on the Theirsl^IasnotavagueanEipathyforideologicalreasonsbutraEheraspecific opposiEion to the rigid strucEure ghich the Conmission had given to rEs proposal from the very beginning' One should remember Ehat' during aII the yearsEheFifthDirecEivehadbeenunderexaminat'ionatvariousgEagesbyEhe EuropeanParliamen!rEheCouncilofMinisEershadnoEgiventheleast Eo above' aEEenLion Eo the drafE tslalutes for ghe European Companyt referred ThiswasparElyforthereasonslhaEPeterBRUGGERhadlucidlyse!forEhat roldi was abouE the time che procedure for consulEacion with the ParliamenE ghe (the corning Eo an end, and parrly because - as I have said - drafr itself object of which, let me rePeaE' was sirnply Eo create a new 9g11!gg1! procedure for the seEEing up of a new EyPe of company within the EEC) contained the tsupervisory purpose of obligarion to seE up a boardr which, aPart from ics bringing in representatives of Ehe companyts workers, was in icself - as a separate organ wi.thin the cornpany - someEhing quice unheard of in Ehe I Member States which were Craditional ' bus ines s-or ienEaled legislaCion of the and used to a single rboard of directorst taking care of all the managemenE supervisory duties in a comPanY'

Nevertheless this unequivocal approach was adoPted once again by the CommissioainitsproposalforaFifthDirectivedespiteEhefactthatthe purpose of Ehis measure was a much mori: general one than that of Ehe draft which sEaEuEes sinCe it rras intended as a piece of framework legislation to all rhe privace companies in Ehe communiEy - newly-founded and exisEing ones would have co adjusc cheir internaL sEructures'

L46 One can Eherefore undersEand how poliEical parEies which are inclined to reflec6 the opinions of t.he business world, in view of Che naEure of at least part of Eheir elecEoraEe, could not fail to noEice thaE Ehe Commissionts company proposals, and in parEicular Ehe idea of a g!!g|S@ff. in boch Ehe tcompanyt, legal concepEs and industrial relaEions pract.ice associaEed with a shoul-d provoke in entrepreneurial circles - and, let it be ernphasized, in trade union ci.rcles too - such confusion and hostility EhaE Ehe proposal for a FifEh Directive as originally drafced by Ehe commission appeared to be' if not quiEe an academic exercise, t.hen aE leasE an iniCj.ative lacking widespread support and thus wiLhout any real chances of being puE into effect'

VI. If the firsE part of fhis account explaining Ehe conEext of the Political problem to vrhich Ehe nevrly elecEed European Parliament was called upon Eo f i-nd an effecEive soluEion, has so far made no reference Eo lhe GrouP of Ehe European People's Party (aparC, of course, from the forebodings expressed by PeEer BRUGGER some years beforehand during the old ParliamenC), this is noE simply an acciden! and can be easily explained. From whaE has been said before, one can quife easily imagine, by a process of elinination, to which of the political groups wiEhin Ehe ner,t European Parliament by virtue of Ehe facE Ehat it is above class, fell che task of ensuring lhat ParliamenE should live up Eo iEs responsibilities on Ehis subject'

Indeed, what other poLit.ical objective chan Ehat of resolving the conflict bethreen capital and labour within Ehe company could provide more scope for the ideological elemenE inspiring Christian DernocraEic acEion wighi"n Europe and beyond, in every social conEexE and at every inuernational' national and local

t4'7 of the need to safeguard the credibility of the rnstirution's political role and lhe importance for this of the subject under discussion, wnich would support the proposals which Ehe rapporteur appoinled by the Legal Affairs Committee had originally formulared and the further refinement of which would be compleEely in tune hrith Lhe process of searching for political unity in which Christian Democra!s have always taken the lead.

VII. Ler us now look at the major points of the report drawn up on behalf of Ehe Legal Affairs CommiEtee and adopted by a large majority in Parl iament icself by referring to the many speeches made by members of ehe Group of the European People's Party during the debate in rhe House (L).

rt ra'as James JANSSEN vAN }lAAy (Epp - NL), appointed coordinaEor by the Epp Group for its work within the Legal Affairs committee (2), who seE out the main conclusions which the Legal Affairs Commit.tee had arrived at with t.he aid of a considerable effort made by members of our own Group: t... The ingenuity ctisplayed in t.he TreaEy of Rone in inventing a new regal device hitherto unknown in consEiEutional law, namely the directive, is that rre can sketch ouE and attain cerEain objectives on a European level lrithout having Eo encounEer an unnecessary degree of opposition at naEional leveL .. .. Ithat has I'lr Geurtsen set out to do in his reporE? To ensure Ehat worker participation wirhin the encerprise is genuine par!icipat.ion.

r! \^ras never mean! ro be the righE ro speak for its own sake invariably followed by a managemenE decision taking no accounE of the workforcers reservations. Genuine parcicipaEion wichin the enterprise is an imporEant political objective which goes beyond a simple modification to the struccure of soci6t6s anonymes ... whaE is involved here, whaE does my Group wanE?

The report on the Fif th company law Directive was adopted by the committee on 25/II/I9BI (Doc. l,-862/8-

r48 that. of the Netherlands. It is in no way the direcEivers inEeqtion to cry Eo resolve an internal German debaEe nor indeed a Dutch debate as to whether we Dulch have aE lasE got Ehe quotienEsr (Ehe proportion of worker represen- taEives on a companyts supervisory board - Ed.) 'righc or whecher we should amend them. The aim of this directive is to make c o-de terminat ion acceptable Eo those Member Stages who have not yeE been acquainEed wit.h iE...... If we, t.he European Parliamenr., can give the directive a form acceptable Eo the social partners in all the l"lember SLates' Ehen Ehe debaEe taking place over Ehe nexE few days could be one of hiscorical momeot in the industrial relaEions annals, noE of Ehe Federal Republic of Germany, not of Ehe Netherlands, but of Europe. This is, I am sure' Ehe real significance of Ehis debaEe and cherein lies ttre ingenuity of the answers conEained in the GeurEsen report. One example springs imnediately Eo mind. To those countries already fanriliar wiEh a sysEem of a board of directors wifh a supervisory organ above ic, it is obvious EhaE employee parLicipaEion should take place in the supervisory boards provided for in Ehe sysEem. Only two of the Member StaEes of the Communicy are familiar wich this kind of company sEruclure. If we try Eo lhrust this sysEem upon our British, Greek and Luxembourg colleagues, we can be cerEain in advance thaE such a proposal will never have Ehe unanimous approval of che Council of Ministers.

What v/e ChrisEian DemocraEs approve of in rhe GeurEsen rePort is that he gives che ingended objecEive, co-de Eerminat ion, such a variety of forms Ehat even the Member SEates noE familiar wifh such an arrangemenE will be able to int.egrate iE into their own naEional syslem... ln reality the Geurtsen proposals achieve the same ends as lhose pursued by us in Germany and the Netherlands concerning supervisory boards without obliging Ehe eighE Member SEates unfaniliar with such a sysEem to change theirs, with Ehe enormous impacE such action would have for reasons quite unconnected wiLh worker part.icipation ... I,le consider Ehe aim of this direccive t.o be Eo set the principle of co-de r erminat ion as quickly as possible on a firm footing in each of Lhe Member SEates. That is our desire and EhaE is what Ehe GeurEsen rePort proposes . .. I fully agree with whaL !1r Geurtsen had Eo say aE Ehe beginning on the subjecE of human values, that the enterprise forms one big family, that there need no longer be any polarizaEion between managemen! and shareholders on the one hand, and employees on Lhe oEherr buE Ehat enEerprises should raEher be joinEly operated. For chis reason we can suPPort the Geurtsen proposal in ius toEalityr.

L49 Philip VON BISMARCK (EPP - D), speaking on behalf of Ehe CommiEtee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, had Ehis to say. r... Co-de t erminat ion coupled with co-responsibilicy is a postulaEe of Chri s E ian-Democra t ic moral principles. From this it follows tha! rre are ar4rare of lhe responsibiliEy for all aspects of Ehe significant insEitution of economic and social policy in every discussion and every decision. I therefore very much welcome the fact that Ehe ComrnitEee on Economic and MoneEary Affairs has borne in mind fhis principle of coupling co-de L ermina E ion and co-responsibility. IE has come Eo the conclusion Ehat accounc musE be taken of a number of fundamenEal truEhs in the decision-making process. Above aI1, Ehis means thac, as previous speakers have said, we must do our duty towards al} citizens, from Ehe young to Ehe elderly, including those hrho are not involved as employees or joint oqrners. We can only achieve fhis if r{re reJecE the MarxisE model of capital and labour or the class struggle and accepr the principles of partnership and cooperation. I! r,ra s our task to adopt a report which reflects these views ... What point would Ehere have been in proposing a model which the Council would have rejected because the parliamentaly majorities in the Member SEales or their very constilutions would noE have perrnirted it? This model is Eherefore Ehe best conceivable loday. I should like to express my great respecE for the rapporEeur and also to thank my olJn Group for making this compromise possible.'

The chairman of the Committee on SociaI Affairs, EfstraEios PAPAEFSTMTIOU (gpp - GR), had this to say: ' ... It musE be emphasized that legislation in favour of worker parEicipation in the decision-making process at all levels of the economy conscitutes undoubted progress, for boEh social and economic reasons. On this point, however, it musE be realized thaE one cannot. impose inflexible and universal organizational paEterns in view of Ehe facE tha! there are such large differences in structure beErdeen individual firms. I'rlorker participation in the management, supervision, rnformaEion and decision-making of companies can be achieved either hrith Ehe participation of worker representaEj-ves in a company's collective organs, or by frequent exchanges of views, in a spirit of responsibilicy and maEuriEy, bet$reen companies and Erade union representatives. The problem is how to establish the golden mean that will allow the hTorkers to be kept fully informed and to share in the control, granted that lhey certainly devote Ehemselves Eo the progress of Ehe company for which Ehey work and from which they gain their livelihood, hrithout at Ehe same time endangering Ehe interests of Lhe company,

150 in view of Ehe fact thae under the condilions of free economy obtaining in the

Member State s of lhe Community, compeEition is both a realiry and a de s irab le | feature .

Marc FISCHBACH (EPP - L)r t ... Employee participat.ion has been and will always remain a constanE preoccupation of ChrisEian Democracy. Christian Democrats are convinced that democracy can by no means be confined Eo Ehe policical sphere alone bu! must also be applied to social and economic relations ... The desire for a more humane and more democraEic working environment is noE a naEional phenomenon: iu is being voiced with growing insistence Ehroughout Europe. Furthermore, this desire lies at the very heart of Ehe greaE social encyclicals of Ehe Catholic Church, which have had a considerable influence on ChrisEian Democratsr econornic philosophy. Leo Xts tRerum Novarumt is one example I could quoEe' but I am convinced thac the principle of participation is seE fort.h with absolute clarity in the encyclical 'Mater eE MagisErat by Pope John XXIII. Let me quoEe you what is perhaps Ehe most relevanE passage. rlf the structures and the working of an economic sysEem are such as to be likely !o irnpair the human dignity of those involved in iE, to undermine lheir sense of responsibility and Eo deprive Ehem of all personal iniciative, we deem Ehem unjust' even if t.he wealth produced is abundant and is distributed according Eo the laws of justice and equityr. ... Here, as in many other areas' Christian Democrats have succeeded in finding a happy medium. Their philosophy can be illusErated by another passage from the encyclical 'l"later et l,lagisErar. tA human conception of the company must withouE a doubt safeguard lhe authority and effecciveness necessary for managemen! to be able Lo exercise iEs authority, but it cannot reduce its fellow workers Eo the level of silenE instruments unable to conEribuEe anything of themselves, passively accepEing the decisions which govern uheir activityt ... Parliamentrs Legal Affairs Committee does not recommend general application of the dualisE syElem. It considers, in fact, and with good reason, Ehat even in Ehe unitary sysLem, in which Ehere is only one adminisErative organ' lhe responsibiliEies of the Persons managing Ehe company are clearly demarcaEed so there is no need for any distribution of por4'ers or for these people to be divided inEo two bodies. The Legal Affairs CommiEtee also considers there is noEhing to suggesE thaE rhe uniEary system would hinder Ehe formation of soci€t6s anonymes by shareholders or groups of shareholders from different Member State€....

151 Given Ehese cwo considerations, ic is the conclusion of che Legal Affairs CommicEee that the inEroduction of Ehe dualist sysEem on an oPtional basis will be sufficienE. To coordinate everythitlg as far as possible whiLe sEill taking into accounE the individual experiences of Ehe various Member States, LhaC is the essence of Uhe proposals conEained in Lhe GeurEsen reporE on I{haC is undoubtedly a cricky and complex question, where clearly iE would be wrong t.o discounc che pluralisEic naEure of Ehe CommuniEy. l,ly GroupIs only hope now is thac l'1r Geurtsenrs excellenE report will be adopLed by Ehe largesL possible urajoricy in the House.'

Karl-Heinz HOFFMANN (EPP - D): t... If Parliament adopEs Mr GeurEsenr s moEion on Ehe Fifth DirecEive wigh any amendmenEs thaE are needed by a large majority, this will be a greaE day for Ehis House and for Europe. By raking such a step, the European Conmunicy will become a social communiLy. ... For myself and many of ny friends, co-de Eermj.nat ion is rhe first and most inporEanE goal Eo aEEain. I shaLl cherefore give my wholehearted suPPort Eo this Fifth Directive if Mr Beumerts amendmen! is carried by a large majoricy.

The aLtainmen! of c o-de terminaE ion is the very foundacion and cornerstone of this worEhwhile iniciarive. Without pariEy, the whole Ehing falls down. We $rere lherefore keen EhaE the Beumer amendmenE should be introduced and this objeccive defined. The Beumer amendmenE also leaves scope for oEher possibilicies to be explored on the road Eo attaining parity ... Let. us elloh, those counEries, lhose unions and Lhose finns which as yeE have no experience in Ehis field a chance Eo become accusEomed Eo co-de lerminaE ion and to adjust to a sysEem for which we have had Lo gain experience over more Ehan 30 years In 20 or 30 yearsr time, we shall be in a different siEuaEion and perhaps the whole issue can be re-examined, and rde may have gained new knowledge and found new ways of Iiving and working Eogether. Why cannot changes be made then which correspond Eo your poinE of view or ours, or which form Ehe basis of someEhing entirely new? ... But now lhe impoltant thing is to be flexible, noE to force on anyone, on any Member StaEe, governmenE, Erade union or company anyfhing which is alien to ic, which it' cannot accepE. We musE instead light a beacon for Europe by adopcing the Geurtsen reporE by a large majoriry wiEh Lhe inclusion of some imporLant amendments, such as parity in representaEion, Ehe parity option. Let us make Ehe first compromise here - for that is wha! co-de Ee rmina E ion is - and opE for worker participation on equal terms We can however create equal terms only by adopring the Beumer

L52 amendmenL. It musE therefore be carried. I believe that, if v/e do Lhis' we shall be t.aking an imporlant decision for Ehe people of Europe' for the workers, for the trade unions and for comPanies, which will help to bring abouE the social integration of the Community, a necessary extension of the EEC, leading ulEimaEely to the political union of Ehis Europe of ours.'

Victor I1ICHEL (npp - B): '... Workers are quite capable of taking, carrying and assuming responsibiliEies, provided uhey are given the information they ask for and provided they can work in an atmosPhere of mutual trust .,. We have to recognize EhaE the srtuation varies from country Eo count.ry and thaL there is a fundamenEal difference of approach beEween Germanic and Latin iountries. In the Germanic counEries they have' for many years, decades even, been laying the foundaEions for a form of parEicipation based on joint responsibility. The same is lrue in che Netherlands. In the Latin countries, on the oEher hand, progress along lhese lines has been much slower and it is essential to underst.and that Che trade union organizations are noE yet ready Co sit around lhe boardroom table, preferring insEead to reinforce their presence on suPervisory comnitEees and works councils. It is therefore imporEant for these different situaLrons to be taken into accounE'.

Elmar BROK (gpp - D): '... I see \^rorker ParticiPation as whaE is known in MonEesquieurs philosophy as distribution of power in lhe SEate, namely the distribucion of povrer in the economy. This is Ehe only way to PrevenE the accumulaEion of power and iEs abuse. This is the i^7ay to Sreater freedom and social justice. I am happy Eo see Ehat this is the idea underlying che Geurtsen report. The various options contained in this report will also enable account Eo be Eaken of the differences in the exPerience and syst.ems of Lhe Member States of the European Community. I feel ... that no one can expect his ideology alone to be fully accepted in lhis area: we must find soluEions capable of being approved by a rnajoriEy in this House, of being incorporated by che Commission into iEs proposal and of being approved by a rnajority in the Councrl of f,linisters. Wanting to hang Ehe flags high and Ehen faking decisions that canno! be implemented would mean Ehat Ehere would uIEiTnalely be no worker parEicipaEion at European level, and lhat is why this House must shoti thaE it is capable of compromising. I believe this is the direction followed by Ehe Geurlsen report. We should also make it clear that it is open to appropriate development' to more worker participation. As

153 regards Mr Beumer's amendmenE, I should like co say EhaE, alEhough we wish t.o make Ehis openness clear, ic is our aj.m Eo have full pariry after a Eransitional period. This naEurally means Eha! ere seek to solve Ehe problems connecEed wich the outbreak of dispuEes and t.he final decision in Ehe way suggesEed by the Beumer anendmenE. I believe this is Ehe \tay to achieve worker participation $/iEhouc everyone setEing hinself up as Ehe keeper of Ehe Holy Grail that is his own idea. This is Ehe r.ray in which a great deal can be done for the rrorkers and democracy in Europe. I Paul SCHNITKER (EPP - D): ' . .. IE is frequently overlooked in this connecEion EhaE Europe has an abundance of small and medium-sized finns - over thirEeen million - for which the division beEween capical on one side and labour on Ehe ot.her simply does not apply. CapiEal and labour in these firms are merged. we musc be aware of this, if we are !o debate the Fifth DirecEive in a responsible manner ... The conclusion Eo be drawn from Ehis is lhat everyEhing must be done in our debaEe on the Fifth Directive to avoid giving Ehe impression Eha! it is t.he incenlion here to bring Ehe small and medium-sized finns inlo a straitjacket of legal and bureaucraLic measurea governing r,rorker parcicipaEion. The situagion in Ehese small and medium-sized firms creaLes an enEirely differenE climaEe. In t.hem' man is sEill at the centre of the process: Ehe machine serves as a tool for man, he is noE Ehere Eo serve Ehe machine. AlEogeEher, chis escablishes an enEirely different climaEe and to a large exlenE prevenEs che raising of barriers beEr4reen Ehe propriecor of the firm and, for example, the shoP-floor supervisor and his able workmen, unless such barriers have been broughE inEo the firm from ouEside Eo disrupt Lhe harnony exisEing beEween Ehose who work Ehere. In these firms, the shop-floor supervisor or Ehe proprieEor and his workers have equal responsibility for Ehe work in hand and for dealing wich

customers and ofEen r^re ar the same v/ork cloEhes. Everyching must be avoided which could creaEe Ehe impression EhaE the small and medium-sized firms which retain a sound structure are t,o be drawn inEo a rigid legal framework which could lead to conflicg or an atmosphere of constraintr(1).

fD-The Legal Affairs Coumibteers reporE pur the minimum number of workers in a company to rrhich Community legislaEion on co-management would apply aE 1000. (The present figure in the Federal Republic of Germany is 2000, which was laid down in che mosE recenE law on co-determinat ion enacued by Chancellor SchmidErs Federal Government in 1976 following an agreement between Socialists and Christian DemocraEs.) The number of 1000 adopted by Ehe European ParliamenE's Legal Affairs ConmiEtee is the compromise figure suggested in cormnirtee by Luigi MACARIO (npp - I) which Ehe couniEgee adooted unanimous 1v.

Vredeling DirecEi-ve on procedures for informing and consulting the employees of undertakings with complex sErucEures, in particular EransnaEional undertakings (l)

The Cornmissionts proposal for a direcEive, better known as the Vredeling proposal, has provoked widespread interesE and debate boEh in the countries of che European Comrnunity and overseas, particularly in the United ScaEes and Japan.

The proposal for a direcEive from Ehe EEC Commission lays down a whole series of clearly defined obligations for f irrns of a cerEain size concerning the regular provision of information to employees on the sEructure and manning of underEakings, the economic and financial situaEion, invesEment programmes and other mat.ters relaEing to producLion, sales and employmenE, including consultation of che employees themselves before any decision is adopEed relating to Ehe closure or transfer of a producEion unit, substanr.ial modifications wiEh regard Lo the activities and organizaEion of the underEaking and lhe signing or cessaEion of cooperaEion agreements wiEh other underEakings.

The proposaL for a directive complemenEs the direcEives of 17 February L975 and 14 February 1977 which lay down procedures for informing and consulting employees I representatives at t.he national level in Ehe event. of redundancies or collective transfers.

The airn of the directive is to haruronize legislation ent.itling workers in Ehe Conmunity to be informed on the acLivities of the firm in which they are employed and to be consulced before the adopEion of major decisions to ensure thaE in Ehe case of closure of an establishnenE Ehe \,/orkers are not Dresented wi!h an accomplished fact.

(l) noc. L-324/82/A

t-of Although in s orne countries of the CommuniEy the righE of employees to information and consullation on the activiEies of firms and on decisions which affect them is enshrined in che law, Ehe existing systems do no! correspond adequately Eo Ehe composice organiza!ional structure of modern undertakings.

For instance, the righE Eo inforroation has developed more widely under those legal systems which aclually provide for participation by the workers in decisions taken by enterpri8es. Thus, in the Federal Republic of Germany the Law of 15 January L972 on the social organization of enEerprises lays down Ehat the employer shall inform his eroployees of Ehe tasks and responsibililies assigned co Ehem as well as the type of acEivity to be carried out and how ir fits into the Picture of the concern as a who le.

The same information must also be provided by Ehe employer prior to any

change of func E ion.

It also lays down a colleclive ri.ght to inforrnation which requires the employer to inforur the workerst council in good tirne of Progranmes involving nehr constructions, urodificaEions and extensions to the local act.ivities of Ehe undert.aking, technical insEallaEions, manufacEuring and working meEhods and the employment situation.

The employer is obliged to supply Ehe workersr council in good rime with precise information, including relevant documents, on staffing policy and in parEicular on presen! and future requirements and on the measures planned in respect of the employees, as well as those concerning voca!ional training.

The proposal for a directive basically concerns two categories of undertaking: on the one hand undertakings wiEh several subsidiaries located in che same Member SEate as the dominant undercaking and which employ at leasE a hundred workers; on the other hand undertakings of a mult.inational character, whose decision-making centre is localed in another l'lember State or in a third country and whose subsidiaries operating within the Community employ at least a hundred workers.

166 The Directive lays down certain obligations which can be sumrned up as follows: to forward relevanE information every six months Eo employees, represenca- tives, giving a clear picEure of che activities of the dominanE undertakiog and its subsidiaries; Ehis infornation should include a whore series of elements, from structure and manning to procedures and plans liable co have a subsEantiel effect on employeesr interesCs; consulEations with employeesr representatives in cases where decisions proposed by the managenenE are rikely to have substantial effects on Lhe interests of the employees. This procedure provides for t.he possibility of reaching agreemen! on Ehe measures planned with regard to fhe employees concerned. For example, in the case of closure or transfer of an establishmen!, or of najor modificacions with regard to its activiEies and to its organization, the management of each subsidiary is required to communicate precise informaEion on lhe reasons for lhe decision, and on the legal, economic and social consequences of such decisions for the employees concerned.

Obviously, Ehe corollary of such a detailed system for providing informat.ion is respect for confidentiality on the par! of Ehose entitled to thi s infornat ion.

In view of the complexity of Ehe regulations and the binding nature of some of the measures laid down, the directive has been the objecE of much criEicism fron both indusEry snd the Erades unions concerning its possible economic and social i.mpl ic at ions.

Undertakings have complained t.hat the directive is likely !o discourage investment, reduce their compet it ivenes s , prejudice the confidentialify of company planning and penalize undertakings in Ehose countries whose Iegislation lags behind Ehe requirements of the Conununity instrumenE. Att this is liable to increase the difficulties of running enterprises and be detrimenEal to employment. No less criticism has come from the European Trade union confederation (ETUC) which has stressed in particular the lack of clarity in respect of the righf Eo inforrnation and consultaEion at the

167 out, hol.Tever thaE by opting for a multinalional level. It Points ' directive which is binding in naEure Ehe Member States will be obliged Lo amend where neces6ary national legislation in order to comPly 14'ith Communicy regulaEions.

AE irs rneering on I April 1982 the commiCCee on social Affairs adoPEed Che proposal for a direcEive with important amendments concerning Ehe number of workers employed in che subsidiaries to which Lhe directive applies, and the frequency of supplying, and procedure for requesting, informaEion.

WiEh regard Eo the number of employees, an amendment tabled by Mr R. C}IANTERIE (B), I"1r V I'IICHEL (B), MT }'1 A VANDEWIELE (B) ANd Mr L. MACARIO (I) proposes thaE infornaEion be disclosed Eo employees' represenEatives in all subsidiaries employing aE leasE 50 (insEead of 1O0) employees in che CommuniEy.

EPP Group by Mrs MAIJ-WEGGEN (NL) The amendmenE. tabled on behalf of the ' MrS CASSANMAGNAGO CERRNTTI (I), I'1T A. GHERGO (T), T"TT G. BARBAGLI (I)' Mr N. ESTGEN (L), Mr K. WAWRZIK (D), Mr E. BROK (D) and Mr J. A. MOI'$'IERSTEEG (NL) states thar Ehe informacion shall be forwarded at least once a year (insEead of every six rnonths) while the employees are authorized Eo request specific informaEioo aE any Eime.

Subsequencly, ot 27 May 1982, the Conmittee on Social Affairs adopced Ehe moEion for a resolution by l"1r Spencer, and almost all Ehe amendments tabled by Mrs MAIJ-WEGGEN (tlt ) on behalf of her group were adopEed.

For the reasons sEaEed above, in particular as regards Ehe legal conplexiEy of the direcEive, che danger of adverse effects on industrial relations and possible negative repercussions for enployees' the EPP decided t.o set up an ad hoc worki,ng group under Mr S. AIBER (D)r Vice-Chairman of che EPP Group. This working group' which had successfully embarked on discussions aimed a! correcting some of rhe shortcomings and weaknesses of a Eechnical legal nature in the directive and reaching a conmon solution Eo the problems, was obliged Lo suspend ils work due ro the sunmer recess of rhe European Parliament.

The voLe on Ehe proposal for a directive is planned for 14 September 1982 aE Ehe Dart-s ess ion. r68 Social debate on the roblems of nE (new technolosies and the ob market)(1)

The complex naEure of the problems, in particular with regard to employment, as a resulE of stagnating economies in most of Ehe Member States, gave rise to unanimous support. by Ehe European parliament at iEs part-session of September 198l for the pursuiE of a convergent sErategy for action to confron! Ehe economic crisis, inflacion and Ehe challenge of new Eechnology in order to prepare a comprehensive package of proposals and measures to enable the Comroission of the European Communities to drar^r up Ehe necessary insEruments of intervention in good time.

Consideration of specific report s r"ra s concentraEed in a general debaEe in view of the interdependence of the subjecEs and of the proposal puL forward concerning energy problems and Eechnological developments (2), the adaptation of working cime(3) and a Community employnent policy(4).

The following spoke in Ehe debate: Mrs CASSANI,IAGNAGO CERRETTI (I), stressed the need to identify the means of inEervenEion Lo avoid che danger of high unemployment rates resulting in proEectionist measures which would threaEen the uniEy of the EEC, and noEed Ehat the differences in inflation rates provoked disruptive tensions within the EMS. Hence it was necessary to use Eo the full the EEC financial instrumenEs such as Ehe EIB, the ESF, Ehe ERDF and Ehe so-called orEoli facility for recycliog

pe E rodo l lars.

The search for couron guidelines for acEion was a sound basis for the pracLical real-ization of a concrete prograNne. In Ehis context Ehe farnily, and participaEion in general, could play a role in shaping a harmonious presenE-day and fuEure society by avoiding individualism and i so la t ioni sm.

Mr BEIJMER (NL): 'Shortening working hours is no subs!itute for t.he creation of jobsr. It was important to keep the trend in cosEs under conrrol, bearing in urind the external competi!ive position of the EEC. fDlJffiT Journal No. 1-274 (2) Salisch Report (Doc.

Part-tine work should also be encouraged and nore closely linked Eo sLudy and training opportuniEies for young PeoPle. There was also a need for cooperaEion aE Ehe European leveL beEween the institu!ions and Ehe social partners on a framework agreemenu on an annual reduction in working hours, and Eo speed up Ehis process.

!1r BROK (D): ShorEer working hours should be linked to increased pro- ducuiviry. Europe must promote investmenEs in Ehe field of energy research Eo increase its competiEiveness in comparison with Ehe UniLed StaEes and Japan. Experience Eaught. EhaE develoPments in telematics and engineering could create new jobs.

Mr CROUX (n)l fducarion and vocaEional training should be Ewo primary objecEives which, Iinked Eo a ProPer development of Eechnology, could help solve the problern of unemploymenE among young people. It was therefore necessary Eo expand cenEres such ag Ehe Institute in Berlin, and galvanize both teachers and to Eeaching meEhods and programmes in order Eo adapt educaEion and craining Eo our worldrs new neede.

Finally, Mr PAPAEFSTMTIOU (GR) stressed t.he inPorEance of increasing sEaEe and privaEe investmenE in sectors which creaEe new jobs, of

developing collective services and social infras E ruc Eures , increasing purchasing power especially of those with lower incomes - holding down inflafion and increasing aid from Ehe European Social Fund.

rThe social policy should no longer simply correct the shortcomrngs in Ehe operation of the economic sysrem but should direc! social growth and encourage participation and sharing of responsibilityr .

Old people in the European Community (lr2)

The role of the elderly in society in Ehe European Community is the subject of a special report which aims boLh to draw atEention co this category in humanitarian, cultural and social terms and to ouEline in concrete Eerrns Ehe many important measures to be taken in particular at Comrnunity Ieve I.

Having declared her support for the report on behalf of the Epp Group, Mrs CASSANMAGNAGO-CERRITTI (I) enlarged on Lhe imporEance of the idea of acEive aging in the sense that Ehe elderly should not lack the conditions for the quality of being human as such.

As the reposiEories of curture and experience of life, the erderly shourd be helped to play a specific rore in society boEh through the mass media and by other educational means. A further effective measure aE community level was that of voluntary work which could instigaLe new and up-Eo-daEe schemes.

I'1r PEDINI (I) urged Ehe Conmission to inEervene with concreLe measures in

Mr PAPAEFSTMTfOU (GR) called for Ehe creation of more flexible arrangements with regard to pensions so Ehat old people should not be automaEically forced Eo give up work comPleEely.

The own-iniEiative report by Mrs CASSANMAGNAG0 CERRETTI (I) has Eaken the form of a moEion for a resolution offer an iniuial exchange of views within the ConmitEee on Social Affairs. The document considers several aspecEs of Ehe family: culEural, social, economic, occupaLional and secs ou! guidelines for a family policy to be inPlemented at Community Ievel Ehrough Ehe preparation of a comprehensive programme for acEion. These measures include Ehe development and strengthening of Che insEitu!ion of Ehe farnily as such, the reconciliaEion beEween the farnily and occupaEional commiEmen!s, Ehe creation of social services and a rnuleidisciplinary research progranme for measures to aid different caEegories wiEhin the family, children, the handicapped, the elderly. The reporE is to be the subjec! of furcher study and will possibly be expanded.

Youth unemp loyrnent (1,2)

The deLeriorating eurploymen! siEuaEion in Europe, affecting particularly young people, led !1r BROK (D) to table a motion for a resoluEion under

(r) PE 78.707 /tes. urgent procedure on youEh unemplo1rment, adopted on 22 April 1982, which sets out concrete proposals Eo combat the problem and plans for vocaEional training drawn up in collaboration with the economic sectors.

As a precaution against resolutions by the Parliament being consigned yeE again to oblivion he tabled an Oral Question on behalf of Ehe EPP GrouP Eo t.he Council obliging it to report regularly to the Parliament on Ehe decisions adopted and on the medium and short-terrn prograrunes.

l,1r McCARTIN (IRL) called for an increase in appropriacions from Ehe European Social Fund especially for lreland where Ehe problem of youch unemployment was particularly serious. Young people were tending to eni- grate not to Europe but to Canada, the United Slates and AusEralia. The principle of work-sharing should also be considered and applied to avoid the working half of the population having to suppor! the non-working half.

Mr VAN ROI'IPUY (B) catled for increased investmenc in firms which show possibiliries of growth and therefore of ernployment for young people. The inplementation of the strategy proposed in the Fifth Medium-term Progranrne was one of the first measures to be taken together wich greater emphasise on vocational rraining and re-training Eo be achieved through increased allocations for the Social Fund.

New ac!ion programme on the promoEion of equal oPPortuniEies for women ( 3,4, )

Mrs CASSANMGNAGO CERRETTI (I) has drawn up the opinion for the Cornrnictee of Enquiry into che Situation of Women in Europe.

The programme proposed by the Conunission, which is to span four years, sets out an inportant package of measures as a follow uP to lhe resolution of the of the European Parliament of 11 February 1981 on the situation of

The rapporteur who has linked the overall problem to Lhe Ehemes of women, peace and development, has criticized Ehe vagueness of the proposals contained in the programme which fails to outline direct and indirect measures for iEs effect.ive irnp lementat ion. It should have included addiEional measures - work-sharing and redistribution of work, Part-time work, mobiliry and flexibility - as measures for rationalizing Ehe flow of labour onto the job market.

Another idea discussed was thaL of a nel{r syslem of vocaEional training for the adaptation to ner.I technology and lhe sEabilization of female

emp Ioyment .

In her moEion for a resolution the raPPorLeur refers Eo Priorities for a social policy and stresses numerous concrete measures including vocational rraining and re-training for women, education, aEten!ion to the problems of female roigrant htorkers, and slrengthening the ESF through special subsidies Eo combat unemPloYmenE.

Reference is also made Eo the family and its problems, its new dimension and the role that it should play in a modern social conrext'

In response Eo Ehe Commissionts proposal for modesE increases in the appropriations of Ehe European Social Fund, llr BARBAGLI (l), draftsrnan of an opinion on behalf of the Corunictee on Social Affairs, Eabled a package of amendments which were unanimously approved by Ehe commiEtee.

During the plenary sitcing the rapporceur deEailed the overall spending capaciEy of the Social Fund and sEressed Ehe need for a longer-Eerm strategy for Ehe Fund for Ehe development of an integraEed series of training opportuniEies and work experience for young people.

tWith He said! regard !o employmeng, direct measures must be drarrn up Eo encourage Ehe hiring of workers, linked perhaps to courses for vocational Eraining, the creation of small commercial enEerprises and cooperatives as a means of solving all the problems related to the enlargement of the EECI.

t'lith regard to other measures concerning notably the sectors of agriculEure, Eex!iles, women, migranE workers and technical advance, request.s had been rnade with a view ro alleviauing unenployment and. creaEing new j obs.

with regard to other appropriaEions particular emphasis was laid on aids under an indusErial policy still to be formulated, on pilot projects to combat povert.y, and on welfare at sea wich particular reference to deep-sea fishing.

The increase in ECSC social measures in the wake of Ehe crisis in the sEeel indusEry was strongly and cogenEly supported.

Mr ESTGEN (L) sEressed lhe imporEance of vocational training as a means ro improve job opportunities for young people in a world of Eechnologies and he also raised other social problems including Ehe fanily, migranus and t.he handicapped, which called for strong solidarity on Ehe parc of ehe Communi tv .

TT) D-oc. l-60tr1/Annex rllAddendum r76 COMMITTEE ON REGIONAL POLICY AND REGIONAL PLANNING

Between JuLy 1981 and Juty 1982 the work of the Committee on Regional PoLicy and RegionaL PLanning moved ahead rapidLy. The nature of the motions for resoLutions, the subject matter of the reports and opinions, and the hearings amd meetings which were heLd outside BrusseIs gave fvlembers of ParLiament the opportunity to make a significant contribution.

The presence of members of the EPP, the thoroughness of their reports and their carefuI Ly-considered amendments had a decisive inftuence on the orientation of the r,lork of the commitee.

The pIan for the li'lediterranean countries and the second revieh, estabLishing the ERDF were the two majon topics at many of the committeers meetings. Certain motions for resolutions which had been the subject of reports were adopted in plenary sitting in the form of resotutions such as the 'contribution of ruraL deveLopment to the re-establishment of regionaL baIances in the Community' (Edgar FAURE L(F))1, 'the first periodic report on the sociaL and economic situation of the regions of the Community' (Fernand DELMOTTE S(B)-, the report 'instituting a specific action on behaLf of housing in ? Northern Irelandr (Yvette FUILLET, S (F)-, and the report on I hS_!! repeen Coastal Charter (David HARRIS, (ED) (GB)".

' Edgar FAURE feLt that the ruraL exodus had reache such proportions that rehoLe areas of the Community were threatened by depopuLation and that excessive concentration of peopte in smaIL areas wou[d produce harmfut economic effects and serious sociaI and human disadvantages. In his report he.caLIed for better coordinat ion bet!,een the Community, the Member States and the regionaL and tocaL authorities of the different structuraI aids. The rapporteur divided his motion fon a resoLution into two parts: 1. the contnibution of agricuLture and the agri-foodstuffs industry to rura I deve I opment; 2. measures reIating to non-agricuLturat activities as a whoLe. The shadow rapporteur of our group r,{as Robefto COSTANZO (I) with a favourabte opinion. Doc. 1-648/81 adopted on 16 February 1982.

- According to the resoIution this preliminary report supported the need for a regiona[ poticy to be based on sound, up-to-date information. It recommedned in particular that the Member States and the StatisticaI 0ffice concentrate panticutarly on regional statistics and on rapidLy

L11 Other reports which were adopted by the committee and which witL shortLy be presented in pLenary sitting inc[ude measunes to combat excessive urban concentration and to promote institutionaL potycentrism through regionaI pLanning at European [eve[ and the use of modern means of transport and communication (Edgar FAURE, L (F) on a motion for a resoLution tabLed by Pierre PFLIMLIN, EPP (F)) and the report on the Sixth annuaL report (1980) of the Commission of the European Communities on the European Regional Devetopment Fund and on the communication from the Commission to the Councit on categolies of infrastructure to which the European RegionaI DeveLopment Fund may contribute in the various regions aided by the Fund (rapporteur Robento COSTANZO, EPP (I)6.

bri ng ing them up-to-date. The shadow rapporteun of our group L,as Giovanni TRAVAGLINI (I), with a favourabLe opinion. Doc. 1-825/81 , adopted on 17 February 1982. The Committee on Reg ional- PoIicy approved the FUILLET report, the proposals by the Commission for the construction of 700 housing units in BeLfast. The shadow rapporteur of our group.was Tom 0' DONNELL (IRL), with a favourabLe opinion. Doc. 1-181 181 adopted on 14 l4ay 1982. It shou[d be stressed that the notion of integrated operations' impLies a coordinated programme of pubtic and private projects confined to

a specific geographicat zone to be impIemented with contr"ibutions - suppl-ied on a compLementary basis by the nationaL and LocaL authori ties of the Member States and by the Community. This draft Charter is not the work of the Commission but is the resutt of an initiative by the Conference of PeriphenaL Maritime Regions whose aim, endorsed by the Committee on RegionaI Policy, is to protect the coastal zones of Europe by drawing up a detaj Led programme of action in ctose Liaison with the Commission of the European Communities. The committee beIieves it is necessary to organize, administer, and deveLop the coastLine of the Memben States of the EEC and that particu[ar responsibiLity for this task faLts to the loca[, nationaL and Community authorities. The shadow rapponteur of our group was Leonidas BOURNIAS (GR), with a favourabLe opinion. Doc. 1-302/82, adopted on 17 June 198?. 5. Doc. 1-804/80, Doc. 1-295/82 6. The motion for a resoLution by Roberto CoSTANZo (I) is d.ivided into three parts:

178 Among the opinions adopted by the Comm'i ttee Here those by Robert cosTANzo (I) on the report by the commission on the mandate of 30 May 1980 and by El.ise B00T (NL) on the annual report by the Court of Auditors for the 1980 f inanc.iat year. Recentty, Tom 0'DoNNELL tabted an opinion on transport in the peripher.aI regions. The report by ELise B00T on stnengthening tr^ansf rontier cooperation wiLt be adopted within the next few months. FinaLLy, FiLotas KAZAZIS (GR) was appointed rapporteur for the Mediterranean programmes. It is worthwhi Le noting that the report by lllinifred EWING, DEP (GB) on housing probtems in the Less-favoured negions of the Community which r,las not approved by the EPP, was rejected'

year The comm.i ttee met in Liverpoo[ fron ?2-24 september 1981 and this Thessatonika has been chosen for the September meetings'

During the meetings of the committee on Regional PoLicy exchanges of views took pl-ace with Commissioner GioLitti on the proposats by the Commission for amending the reguLation estabLishing the ERDF, uith Mr LAMoNT, former president-in-office of the Counci L of Ministers, now responsibLe for regionaI affairs, on the devetopment of a Community regionaL poticy, with Mr N0E' Chairman of the Regionat PoLicy Committee, with the President of the European Investment Bank, Mr LE PORTZ, on the rote of the EIB as a bank for regional deveLopment, and with the detegates of the Conference of Eunoepan LocaI and Regional Authorities, which meets within the framework of the counciL of Europe, with a view to organizing a conference to take pLace in 1983.

After this brief summany of the activities of the committee on RegionaL poticy and Regional Planning we turn to a short presentation of the report by Hans-Gert PoTTERING (D) on the Mediterranean Plan for the benefit of Med iterranean countries betonging to the European Community and the appticant countries, Portugat and Spain, on the basis of a counci I regulation. This report was ora!/n up in response to a motion for a nesolution tabted by ELise BooT (NL) and others on 21 November 1980 pursuant to Rute 25 of the

I79 Rutes of Procedure. This motion for a resolution concerned the creation of a revotving fund for the benefit of Mediterranean countries betonging to the European community on the basis of a counci I reguLation. Hans-Gert PoTTERING (D) noted in his report that the community was very far from the goat of convergence of the nationaL econonies. The accession of Greece and the prospective accession of Spain and PortugaI and the regionaL imbaLances which have w idened over the last 20 years, woutd create a community divided into two economicaLLy and sociall,y distinct parts. There was thus a vitat need to drau up integrated regionaL development prognammes for the severety disadvantaged Mediterranean regions. The rapporteun catLed on the Commission to dra!, up proposats for the creation of a rdeveLopment fund for the Mediter- ranean regions of the commun ity and the appticant_countries' which shouLd become operat iona[ within a period of 6 - 8 yearsr. Financing of the fund wouLd be provided both from the resources of the community budget and from toans on the internationat capitaI market. community budget nesources woutd be used to finance interest subsidies which are vitaL in the industriaL and craft sectors in view of the current high cost of loans. Hans-Gert PoTTERING fett that the devetopment of the Mediterranean regions of the Community shoutd be based on the principLe of integrated devetopmenr programmes with priority being given to the creation of jobs LocaLty, creation of permanent jobs in the industria[, crafts and services sectors as we[[ as the necessary infrastructure through the promot ion of SMEs and sMIs. Priority shou[d atso be given to the structuraL reform of agr"icuLture, improvement of the vocationaI training of workers by setting up training centres and to encouraging occupat'ionaI mobitity through retrain.ing. Measures shou[d also be taken f or- the preparation and tr"ain.ing of quatified managers of farms and enterprises and, tastty, to improve functioning in the administrative sector. During the jo'int debate in ptenar-y sitting Giovanni TRAVAGLINI (I) stressed that it !,as no tonger simpLy a quest.ion of direct support for regionaI poLicies in the Member states but of a c[early- defined overaIL deveLopment programme through which Large [oans wouLd be availabLe for the promotion of production initiatives in the less-favoured regions of Mediterranean countries belonging to the European community.

7 oo.. 1-736/81 , adopted on 16 February 1982. The shadow rapporteur f or our Group was Tom 0'D0NNELL (IRL)

I80 Roberto C0STANZO (I) took part in the debate and Laid particuLar'stress on the devetopment of the countryside through a harmonious integration of agricutturaI activity with handicrafts and touri sm, especiaL[y those types of tourism which promoted the ruraL envjnonment, farms, locaI traditionaI and LocaI food produce characteristic of centain hiLL and mountain regionsS

Those members of our Group who sit on the Committee on Regional Poticy and others tabLed an oraI question with debate to the commission during the Juty part-session on action to be taken on the PoTTERING report'

Our brief report on reg.ionaL poIicy activities uoutd be incompLete b,.ithout a few L,ords about the report on the proposat from the commission s amendinq the requIation estabIishing the negrpna!-l,rnd-l!3!l)'' The Commissionrs proposaL contained three essentiaI points: one concerning specific aid to each region; another aiming to improve the coord'ination of national regionaI pol-icies and a third which divided the tess-favoured regions into tt.lo categolies: those with selious structuraL probtems (quota section, for which four countries quaLify) and those suffering as a resuLt of industriaL probtems (non-quota section). The committee on RegionaI PoL.icy accepted the Commission's proposats but fett that the increase from 5 to 2O% of the non-quota section shouLd not be considered as a simple transfer of resources. 0ther cr.iteria such as the nevivaL of production, job creation, the setting-up of tocat inst itutes for technotogicaI research, supervis ion of the .imptementation of projects under previously agreed conditions, the coordination of the RegionaL Fund uith other Community funds and instruments, and agreement on the operationat terms of refenence of the ERDF should be taken into cons i de rat i on.

Severat amendments were tabLed by our Group in particuLar by El,ise BO0T (NL), Hans-Gert PoTTERING (D), Fitotas KAZAZIS (GR), Tom 0TDoNNELL (IRL) and Reinhard BoCKLET (D) and were accepted 'in plenary sitting.

181 This is a brief out[ine of the work of the Committee on Regiona[ PoLicy and RegionaI DeveLopment. The participation by EPP members and the efficiency of Hans-Gert POTTERING (D), Chairman, have had a decisive and productive effect in heLping to reduce the major regionat imbalances.

In the'Qgngtq!_ltglgpgl!'sector the Committee on Transport became criticat of the inabiLity and unui tLingness of the Counci I of Transport Ministers to take action. This trend first emerged with the adoption of the report by Kar[-Heinz HOFFMANN (EPp - D) on the Commission document on the priorities for transport policy up to 1985. The next deveLopment came at the beginning of 1982 with a report on the state of the common transport poticy by A. Carossino (C - I) (Doc. 1-996181), which was fol[owed by the report by H. SeefeLd (S - D) on the institution of proceedings for failure to act on the common transport poLicy, in particutar because the resutts of the Counci I of Transport Ministers of 10 June 1982 were considered to be i nadequat e -

In the '4il_!!e!gpsrtr sector the EPP Transport group and the Economi c and Monetary Affairs group achieved a viabte compromise on tariffs for scheduted air transport and in comoetition IaH.

0n the'!gl!!14g-!Iq!gpg1!'sector James JANNSEN van RAAY (EPP - NL) submitted an opinion on competition rutes in malitirne transport, which was supported by the committee and the majority of the potiticaI groups.

In the other transoort sectors two further oun-initiative reports shoutd be mentioned, both submitted to the European Partiament during its Ju[y part-session by the rapporteur, Kart-Heinz H0FFmANN. one of these deatt with the use of forms of transport, in Comecon countries and the other with lraterways in Europe. Both reports contained ctear potiticaL options which were supported by the overwhetming majority of the European ParIiament.

In hi s report on the Comecon countries the rapporteur sketched out the fottowing objectives:

- enf o r cement of the plinc'ipl.e of reciprocity (to break up the monopoty position) in t ransport beth,een Comecon and the CommunitY;

estab I i shment of market observat ion systems;

sociat condit ions of transport industry empIoyees must be i mp roved;

IegaL protect ion for goods trains must be guaranteed. - the right of estabtishment of transport undertakings must be mutuaL[y guaranteed; -.in foreign trade agreements, transport provisions shou[d automaticaIty be inctuded.

191 The objective set out in the report on inland uaterways of creating a 'coherent netuork' for European intand shipping obtained the futI support of the House, with the need to cont inue work on extending the capacity of the Rhine-Main-Danube CanaI as rapidLy as possib[e gaining the support of the majority of ParIiament's potiticaI g roups .

192 COMMITTEE ON THE E}WIRONMENT, PUBLTC HEALTH AND CONSIIMER PROTECTTON

It is no exaggeration to state that the Group's parliamentary activities this year have been increasingty concerned r"iith environment protection and conservat ion, for on the one hand we have pressed ahead with the poLicy pursued in this field since 1979, and on the other we have held study days on the theme of'the conftict betu,een ideaLs and reaIity' with a view to cf-arifying and anaLysing every aspect of this poLicy, in order to integrate it more futIy into Community policies in generaL.

1. Thnee reports of the Envi ronment Comm'ittee were debated in ParLiament on 19 November 1981 : the centrat theme of this debate r..ras the need to impart an ecotogicaL dimension to a[[ the European Community's poticies, and the need for poticies to embrace every aspect of the envi ronment.

Siegbert ALBER (EPP-FRG), in his report on the state of the community .1 envi ronment' adopted on 26 May 1981 , provided an exhaustive account of the objectives and content of preventive Community action in this fieLd. Particutar emphasis has been ptaced on the deveLopment of non-pot Luting alternative technoIogies and energy sources, and, in the tong term, on reseanch into the reduction and recycLing of waste, marine poltution. noise potlution, pesticides and fertiIizers, and the estabLishment of appropriate consuLtatjon procedures (e.9. on industries in frontier areas).

MarceLl,e LENTZ-CORNETTE (EPP-L) stressed how greatLy the situation had changed over the last few years with regard to poLtution, which hras nor"r 'increasingty Like[y to have internationaI overtones. 0nLy by adopting a Community-wide approach and laying down Community norms woutd it be possibte to avoid distortions of competition.

Johannes VERROKEN (EPP:B), in his report on the conclusion of the Convention on the conservation of migratory species of wiLd animats<, supported the objectives of the Convent'ion, and considered that the List of such species ought to cover aIt migratory birds and aLI cetaceans. The rapporteur hoped, moreover, that the Commission woutd devetop a method of 'ecotogi caI cartography' .

Siegbert ALBER (EPP-FRG) congratutated the Commission on the speed h,ith t,hich it had drawn up and submitted to the Counci I the draft third action programme z. of the European Communities on the environment (1g82-'lg8 He was aLso pleased to note that the Commission had progressed f r"om a poticy geared to repairing dmaage to the env ironment to a policy based on prevention. He regnetted, however, the [ack of a prograrnme of concrete measures uith particuLar reference to transboundary poLLution, the problerns of urban areas, and the effects of modern aglicuLturaI methods on the envi ronment.

0n 18 February 1982, Par[iament heLd a debate on the harmonization of procedures fon the assessment of the 9!yil9!0e!!g!_e!1eS!S-el_gef!efn_ptlyqlg j and publ- jc projects-, a report which had been adopted and amended by ;il;;;-;;ililr ouf Group and supported by members of the European Democrati c Group and the Liberal and Democratic Group on 25 September 1981 ; in the course of this debate, the sociatist ideas put forward produced a sptit betueen those uho, for reasons of economic efticacy, rejected the principte of a Community directive laying down strict ruLes covering the impact of major projects on the environment, and those champions of the envinon- ment Lrho emphas ized the shortcomings of existing provisions, even in states uhere studjes of the envi ronmentat effects of projects are atready obtigatory. UrsuLa SCHLEICHER (EPP-FRG) warned that the directive coutd be used as a means of guiding investment into particutar channe[s or blocking certain proj ect s.

Siegbert ALBER feaned that the result might be excessivety cumbersome legaI procedures, and rejected the idea of participation by the LocaL poputation,, which he dismissed as attogether too vague a principLe.

L94 The second report on !9CICIunily-Ued9-l!-leq!-prqdug!9-bv 4 Johanna MAIJ-WEGGEN' on the other hand, achieved unparatIeIed success rn arousing pubLic interest. This report requested the commission to draul up a regulation prohib.i ting imports into the community of skins and other products derived from seaL pups, and intra-community trade in such products.

The rapporteur mentioned that 30-402 of the seal-pups were skinned a[.ive, and considered that in order to protect the interests of [ocaL peoptes ought to who L.i ve by seal--hunting, a Limited amount of hunting and trade be al-Lowed in controlLed conditions, even in the case of endangered species. used Al.berto GHERGO (EPP-I) pointed out that sea[-pup products were mainty for Luxury items, and argued in favour of Limiting and regulating commerciat seat-hunting and setting up reserves.

pLenary Meinotf MERTENS (Epp-FRG), presenting his report on ggid-celoz in session on 22 Apri l1982, congratutated the commission on having proposed exchanges of inf ormat ion on a'i r pottution beti,leen fvlember States. He drew particuLar attention to the probLem of acid rain, and requested that cons idera- tion shoutd be given to incLuding in the List of po[Lutants about which .information shoul-d be exchanged hydrochLoric acid gas, su[phur compounds and ox ides of nitrogen.

Mention should be made in this connection of the motion for a resotution on air ootLution tabLed by MeinoLf mERTENS and others in our Group (Doc. 1-?39182).

Speaking in the debate on the repont on chtorofLuorocatbons3, rover Ur.suta SCHLEICHER (EPP-FRG) said: the Iast two years the case against CFCs has been substantiaLLy weakened in that isoLated observations Led to cFCs being heLd responsibLe for a far greater degree of Long-term ozone depletion. Recentty, however, the scientists are mov'ing auay from isolated observations reLating to the CFCs a[one, and more to integrated mathematicaL modets, and there is one effect which we must recognize and take account of right away, i.e. the increasing teveIs of carbon-dioxide and nitrogen ox i des in the atmosphere.'.

r_95 2. Another important theme: pubI i c heatth in Eurooe.

0n 13 October 1981 there was a long debate on the report orawn up on the basis of a resolution tabled by ALberto GHERG0 (Epp - I) and others on the European !gg!l!-9glg and !99!!!-pe9gp9l!1. The rapporteur deptored the Lack of interest which the comrnunity had shourn hitherto .in heaLth matters. tnlhi[e supporting the European health card in principLe, he nevertheless opposed treating seriousLy iLI peopLe as a separate category within the community. The heatth card ought to be avaiLabl,e without discriminatiorr to anyone who want ed .i t .

ursuIa SCHLEICHER (Epp-FRG) criticised the fact that there had been no counci I of tteatth Ministers since 1928. she asked for fuLI inf ormat.ion on this subject from the Commission.

Drug problems dominated the debate on 13 May 1981 on the basis of the own-initiative report by Christiane SCRIVENER (LIB-F) on !he_!9Ebe!rns_el 9rggs-.

MarceLLe LENTZ-CORNETTE regarded drugs as an insidious eviL which shoul,d on no account be considered as a kind of eo.idemic.

Chri st i an Democrats woutd support att the initiatives contained in the report. She suggested that activities shoutd be coor.dinated by a centre for the combating of drug addiction. It uas pointLess to take measures against drug trafficking onty; it was necessary to tackLe production and transport as we[[ as deating in drugs.

Antonio DEL DUCA (Epp-I). present.ing his report on 7 lhg_ggqpg1S!_gSgilg!

1. Eduseltsn-ps!tsy

The education of migrant workers' chi Ldrenl L,as the subject of a European ParLiament debate in September 1981 . ln 1977 the CounciL of Ministers had adopted a directive requiring the Member States to take the necessary measures within a four-year period to integrate the chitdren of migrant wonkens into the respect ive nationaL education systems, at the same time providing for them to be taught in their mother tongue. Since the directive entered into force in 1981 , the repont unges Member States which have not yet futfiLled their obtigations to bring their statutor"y and administrative provisions into tine with Community requirements as soon as possibte.

0n behaLf of the EPP Group, Antonio DEL DUCA (I), Etmar BROK (D), Leonidas BoURNIAS (GR) and Konstantinos GoNTIKAS (GR) supported this as the first of a series of moves needed to do justice to the complex probLems of integrating migrant workers' children. tdith her own-initiative repont on a !9qqq4j!y_pl9Sle00C_l!_!be_11.9!d_9l_ gdCggllS!- PaoLa GAIOTTI DE BIASE (I), leader of the EPP Group's members on the Committee, laid dor,rn the basic principtes of education poLicy, for the first time. The report, which was adopted by the European Partiament in March, aims to examine the Community education programme adopted by the Councit of Ministers in'l 976 and to revive discussion on the subject. Referring to the unsatisfactory way in which the programme is being carried out, and to the inaction of the Counci t of Ministers in the past, the report caLLs for cooperation in the education sector to be stepped up, taking European PoliticaL Cooperat ion as an institutionaL mode L .

The CounciI and Commission are urged to initiate a joint approach in areas where cooperation can valuabLy contribute to support ing the Member States in tackting sociaL probLems which affected atL of the Community countries.

Konstantinos KALLIAS (6R) and Leon.idas BouRNIAs contributed to the debate on behatf of the EPP Group, ful-l,y supporting the aims set out in the report and stressing the need for a systematic joint approach in such areas as the transition from schooI to career, foreign tanguage teaching, the teaching of migrant workers' chitdren, part-time training, equaI opportunities for women and cooperation in higher education. They attached particutar importance to the mutuaI recognition of educationaI quaIifications - stiIt virtuatLy non-existent today - which is a condition for the free movement of workers guaranteed by the Treaties of Rome.

By adopting the report on measufes to Sgqbg!-illflgfggyl in May tne European ParIiament dreL, attention to the need for activ'ity in this area. In view of the rising rate of itLiteracy in the Community the Member States are asked to hel-p by providing funds and deveLoping suitabLe measures to combat iLl-iteracy. The Comm'i ssion is asked to support the devetopment of retevant programmes through the Regional and SociaL Funds, carry out piLot projects and draw up a study on the nature, scaLe and sources of i [[ iteracy in the CommunitY.

The EPP Group welcomed the fact that thought was now being g'i ven to a probtem that had Long received too LittLe attention in the education poticy of Member States. Speaking in the p[enary debate, WilheLm HAHN and Konstant inos KALLIAS pointed out that the causes of itLiteracy shou[d primariLy be sought in poor economic conditions, dyslexia and misguided school reforms, and caLled for these causes to be combated by the Memben States and the Community in an effective way.

The most press.ing probLem currentty facing the community is the question of gg4qqlilS-y9Clh-glCqplSynen!', and EImar BROK tabted a motion on this subject for urgent debate on behalf of the EPP 6roup which was adopted by the European Partiament in Apli L. Speaking for the EPP Group John MCCARTIN (IRL) and E|ic van ROMPUY (B) strongLy cr.iticized the commission and counci [, who t,ere stiIt making verbaL pronouncements and had yet to produce reaI proposats for community activity in this area. The EPP mot ion duLy contains a List of measures to be financed through the community, s RegionaI and Social- Funds. They inctude support for the estabLishment of firms offering a high degree of training and emptoyment in structuraLLy weak areas. The motion caL[s for the estabLishment of new forms of LiveLihood and measures to provjde economi c independence for young people. Firms which make availabLe training ptaces in excess of their own needs shouLd receive f inanc.iaI support. UnempLoyment among academics shouLd be countered by practicaL atternatives to study pnoviding professionaI quat ifications.

As a foltow-uo to this request for urgent debate Elmar BR0K witl be tabLing an oraI quest ion jn Partiament in September^, asking the Counci I to indicate which of the measures it intends to imptement in the immediate future, and by what means. The CounciL is asked to produce a regutar review of nationaL measures in this area, to faciLitate coordination.

The report was a first step aLong the road to the estabtishment of linguistic and cuLtural rights appticabLe 'i n aLL the European countries. In October 1981 the European ParLiament gave its assent to the Gr"eek project to provide a permanent home fon the glygplg-QgqCg' in Greece - in a motion tabled by Horst LANGES (D) on behaLf of the EPP Group. ELmar BRoK and Konstantinos GoNTIKAS spoke on behatf of the EPP Group in favour of this proposaL.

Since the Foundation was thus an instrument of inter-governmentaI cooper"ation and no provision had been made in the act of foundation for any pouers of control by ParLiament or for consultation of Partiament, Bouke BEUMER (NL), who had succeeded Mario PEDINI as committee chairman in January, put questions on the subject to the Counci t and Commission during the June pant-session ". These sought information on how the necessary poIiticaL controI coutd be exercised over the Foundation's pLans and programme, how the activities of the Foundation were to be prevented from dupticating those of the Community and Counci I of Europe, how the danger couLd be averted of the Foundation becoming directty empowered to take action, thereby cuntai Ling the responsibi Lities atready vested 'i n the Community and preventing their extension to net,r sectors.

Etmar BROK and Nicotas ESTGEN stressed that technicaL progress presented Europe h,ith a great opportunity, provided it was used for the object of European unification. One of the causes of dif f icul.ty in putting acnoss the European idea to the man in the street was the fact that tnere was at present no autonomous European broadcasting authority.

Transfrontier tetevision technotogy was an excetLent medium for intra-Community communication and couLd create a common European consciousness, thus becoming a decisive factor in the poLicy for European unification.

}liltem VERGEER (EPPINL), whose partiaI report on the devetopment of the agricuLturaI regions and the food sector in devetoping countri es is very highty considered, was expressing the views of the Group when he said that the campaign against wortd hunger couLd not be won either by a 'taissez faire' poLicy or by any singte action, however spectacu[ar, but onLy by a systemat ic approach aimed primarity at encouraging agriculturaL deveLopment in the countries concerned.

As the folLowing study shor.rs, the CounciI and the Comnission have now espoused these views, and taken the first cautious steps towards such an approach, aLthough they have not gone as far as Partiament wished.

Unfortunatety, due to staff sickness, b,e are unabLe to provide a comprehensive survey of the work of the Committee on Deve[opment and the ACP/EC Assembly. tde shatL confine ounsetves, therefore, to a note on work on the theme of 'worLd hunger', to which the EP has attached increasing importance since 1979.

The fo[[owing metaphor, borrowed from Vjctor MICHEL (EPP/B), shoes how right it is to make an issue of society's internationaL nesponsibiLities:

'If the reorLd were a vitLage with a poputation of one thousand, its inhabitants wouLd number 60 North Americans, 80 South Americans, 86 Africans, 210 Europeans (taking Europe 6s extending from the Atlantic to the Urats) and 564 Asians. 60 inhabitants of this viItage would take hatf its entire income, 240 woutd not have enough to eat, and 700 woutd be itLiterate.'

- 9!C_91_!hg_Eqln_!!gEgg of the EECrs devetopment cooperation poIicy, particutarty since 1981 , has been !h9_ge4pelgn_eSg!!l!_!91!d_!Cn9gf, uaged at every IeveI of intervention and emptoying aLt the existing instruments whereby cooperation can be strengthened or furthered-

Discussion of this vitaL subject began inside the European ParLiament in September 1979, and led to the adoption on'€ September 1980 of the resotution contained in the report by Mr FERRERO. This very detaiLed resoLution (of 57 paragraphs) aimed to provide the EEC with a comptete and consistent programme to combat worLd hunger on severaL teve[s.

209 The5TproposalsandopinionsoftheFERRERoresolutionfelIunderthe foL loui ng four main headings:

- the North-South dial.ogue and estabtishing a new relationship betueen the industri aLized and the [east-developed countries;

.inanciat - techn.i caL and f cooperation with the LDCs with a view to devetoping agricuIturaI regions and the food production sector;

- EEC food and energencY aid;

- internat'ionaI trade in agricutturaI and food products'

ParLiament sa11 to it that this debate on basic princip[es was fottowed up by appointing a raooorteur with that remit, Mr V. MICHEL (EPPIB), and thus constant pressure was appLied to the commission. EarLy in october 1981 , Commissioner PISANI presented a'plan of action to combat wor'td hunger', the generaL plincipLes of which uere approved by the Counc'i L on 3 November 1981 .

This pLan suggested a series of short-and longer-term measures for the benefit of countnies and regions with food shortages; these measures woutd be financed both by the EEC and by individuaL Member states, which woutd be requested to undertake to devote o.15% of their GNP to aid for the Least developed count ri es. They comprise:

(1) additiona[ 9pC91e!-199d-C].d: the end of 1981 40 miLLion ECU had been aLtocated, mainty to by ' buying 230,000 tonnes of cereaLs for the benefit of various LDCs and for the InternationaI Emengency Food Reserve;

Q) iern!-rn!srne!isoe!-cspp9!!-J9l-!!e-e!sbgleUe!-e!d-!qp!sE9!!e!1s!-91 ne!r.ene!-lesd-e!re!sgics . the aim of such strategies is to identify and take into account aIL the various aspects of the agli-food probtem, and to give an extra dimension to technicat agricuLturat deveLopment projects by considering the wider background against which they operate, incIuding Iand tenure systems, pricing poticies, aglicuLturaI credit machinery, product marketing, storage fac i Lities, transport systems' schooIs and further education, research and the use of food aid ...

2I0 If such strategies were defined and imp[emented, we coul_d dovetai L externat aid operations into more cons.i stent nat.ionaL ooIicies.

Since the administrative system of the LDCS are often fairLy etementary, the EEC woutd provide increased assistance in devising and impIementing these food strategies, and faciLitate coordination and flexibitity by means of speciaL 'task forces' grouping on the spot the authorities of the country seeking aid and representatives of the EEC, of the Member States concerned, and possib[y aLso of other aid donors.

fvlati, Kenya, Zanbia, Rwanda, Tanzania and Upper VoLta are atL countries v.,ith food deficits which have atready expressed interest in devetoping a futt-sca[e food stnategy; they are atso att associated states where the EEc is permanent Ly represented by an on-the-spot deLegation.

The possibiLity of non-assoc iated states - e.g. in centraL America - participating in such ventures shouLd not be ruled out, atthough ways witL have to be found of overcoming the problem of the absence of a locaL Commiss.ion office;

Hitherto, devetopment pfogrammes have p[aced the emphasis on agricuLturat product ion at the expense of the conservat ion and reptacement of naturat ; animaI or vegetabte - resources, and hence many LDCs, particurarty in Africa, ane threatened by excessive deforestation, soil erosion and prognessive deserti f i cation- 1

In the commission's opinion, operations with a specific theme of this kind should be used to encourage the rurat poputation to haLt danqerous trends and to change certain traditionaL practices. ; ------See the fottowing articles by Mr" Jacques GRALL in'Le Monde' of 10 and 11 August 19g2: 'The SaheI after the great drought: (1) The foresters of the desert; (2) when the dunes grow green again.,

In June 1982' the commission presented a !p99i9!-p!9sleE49-!9-994bc!-hcn99!-i! 184 mil'[ion ECI'J !bg_!gl!d, which extended the PISANI action pl.an and proposed that shouLd be al.tocated under the 1982 Supptementary and Amending Budget for emengency food aid for refugees in South East Asia, Afghanistan, CentraI America and Angota (100 which (35 m ECU), for operations in support of food poLicies m Ecu, 65'A of would be earmarked for CentraI America), and for the introduction of operations uith a specific theme, as outlined above (49 m ECU)'

These operat.ions in support of food pol-icies are an innovation since the 0ctober 1981 pl,an; they are intended for the [east-devetoped countries, in accordance with the concLusions of the Paris Conference,' and they aim to orov.ide such countries with those factors of production of which there is a chronic shortage and which are tikeIy to increase locaL productivity within a short period. These items incIude ferti Lisers, seeds, pest icides, Iivestock vaccines, agri cuIturaI imptements, fishing equipment, equipment for restoring Ltages' smal, l. irrigated areas and to provide storage faciLit'ies on farms and in vi mater.iaI for providing information on means of preventing Losses foItouing harvesting, etc.

1 Th. 'N., Substant i ve Action Programme for the '80s for the benefit of the L'D'C.'s' adopted in Paris in Seotember 1981

212 These factors of production shouLd be sotd on the spot, if possib[e, or via a system of Low-interest [oans, and the proceeds shou[d go towards financing longer-term projects such as the operations with specific themes. The Commission then Lists the 'specific themes' which it regards as essentiaL, and aIso stresses the need for action in the sphere of bqgLg_lleinins in rurat areas, since this is an essentiaL prerequisite for the success and further deveLopment of operat ions on specific themes.

The emphasis shouLd be pLaced more firm[y on human resources: the locaI peopLe must be given the means of taking responsibi Iity for their own future.

These actions couLd be used to support Literacy campa igns or educationaL reforms in ruraL areas (the Grouo of Latin Ameri can Ambassadors at the EEC asked for support of this kind in December 1981 ). They couLd a[so heLp to provide training to equip peopLe to run devetopment projects or manage cooperatives, and, most important of atL, they couLd heLp to educate peopLe on the various 'specific themes'. The Commission proposes to impLement this programme by increasing the funds availabte under the foLLowing existing budget headings:

- f inanc'iaL and technicaL cooperation with non-associated developing countries (+ 65 m ECU),

- Community contribution towards schemes concerning deveIoping countries carried out by non-governmenta L organizations (+ 8 m ECU),

- emergency aid to disaster victims (+ 35 m ECU); and atso by creating a new heading, 'speciat prognamme to combat hunger in the world' (+ 75 m Ecu).

The priority to be given to the problems of famine and malnutrition is also reftected in the chapter on l999gl9h expenditure at titLe 7 of the preLiminary draft budget of the EEC for 1983: the Commission proposes, in the context of the four-year (1982-1985) prosramme on g!,i9!99-end-!9qbn9!Sgy-1ef-deyg!gp!9!!1 , tuo major research areas:

0n Tuesday, 20 Apri | '1982, the following reports were debated in the EP:

- interim report by Flr KEY on the discharge decision in respect of the 1980 financiaI year embodying a draft motion for a resotution in accordance with the provisions of Articte E5 of the Financiat Regulation informing the Commission of the reasons for the postponement of the grant of discharge in respect of the implementation of the budget for the 1980 financiaI year (Doc. 1-1OO/8?);

The most important of these reports is that of Bryan KEY (S/GB) on the discharge in respect of the 1980 financiaI year. The Committee on Budgetary Contro[, under the chairmanship of Heinrich AIGNER (EPPID), decided to postpone granting the discharge because the Commission of the European Communities had faiLed to provide fu[[ answers to the questions raised by the Committee on Budgetary Controt when drauing up the decision with respect to the discharge.

The main issues invoLved were:

The Commission r,las criticized for faiting to enforce the 1980 embargo on sates of agri cu[turat products to the USSR calLed for by the CounciL and the European ParLiament folLowing the invasion of Afghanistan and the treatment of dissidents in the Soviet Union. Partiament,s wish to adopt a hard tine on this issue uas further demonstrated by the vote on the resotution on the embargo tabled by Heinrich AIGNER during the March part-session of the European Partiament. At a crowded sitting, the resotution was adopted by a majority of two ro one.

2. The European ParLiament did not agree with the Commission on the way .in which the system of provisionaI twetfths had been appLjed in 1960.

3. The European ParLiament caLled for a comprehensive written report on the question of the administrative bui lding of the Joint Research centre estabLishment at Ispra. Despite Partiament,s refusaI to attocate appropriations to this project, the commission had nonethetess managed to finance the construction of the bui tding by a targe number of transfers of appropriations. ExpLanations were caIted for before a decision cou[d be taken with respect to the discharge.

4. Simitar prob[ems had arisen in connection Hith the Jean Monnet bui Lding 'in Luxembourg where a fitness centre had been constructed in parts of the buitding earmarked for offices.

216 5. CLarification was aLso catted for regarding major dif f icul-ties that had arisen in imptementation of food aid; these probtems had been brought to tight by the Court of Auditors, which had devoted a separate report to the subj ect. trJhen these reports on the discharge were being drawn up, the Commission has provided a number of detai led answers oraLty. However, these were not yet satisfactory and in order to give the Comnission the opportunity to provide fuLLer teritten responses, it was necessary, for technicaL reasons, to postpone the discharge unti l- the foLlowing year, i.e. 1982. Nonethe[ess, the main purpose of the postponement llas to express pubtic criticism of the Commission for the way in which it had managed the Communityrs resources in 1980. Postponement need not necessari Ly mean refusaI to grant the discharge if the Commission was ab[e to come up with satisfactory answers in the meantime.

In presenting his report on the Guidance Section of the EAGGF to ParLiament 1 Renzo FILIPPI (I)' pointed out that in 1980 the Communityrs structuraI poLicy had not had the desired effect. In the case of direct intervention, Community action was extremety sLow and there were atso Long delays in carrying out subsidized projects. In the case of indirect action, it was unfortunatety ctear that such aid was concentrated atmost exctusiveLy in the areas whose agricutturat structures were !east in need of support. He also noted various instances of budget entries increased by transfers in the course of the financiaI year and then onty partiaL[y disbursed, giving rise to Large carryovers and canceLIations.

Mark CLINTON (EPPIIR)2 aLso criticized the Commission for detays in spending the appropriations provided by the Guidance Fund- He urged the Member States, and especiatLy the areas and regions that needed the appropriations most, to produce their accounts and the detaiLs necessary to get the money spent, as soon as poss i b Le.

2L1 Konrad SCH0N (EPP/D)ttook part in the debate as the EPP's spokesman and refuted the Commission's assertion that Partiament vlas using postponement of the discharge to bring about a solution of institutionaI probtems. There rlas no question of apportioning praise or btame to the Commission in a one-sided manner but of exerting an objective controt over the budget and its imptementation. Untike the controI exercised by the Court of Auditors, ParLiament's Has a poIiticat control. This meant that ParLiament could impose sanctions on the Commission, something that the Court of

Auditors couLd not do. fhis did not impLy that Partiament L, ished to subjugate the Commission poLiticatLy but it was a fact that the Commiss'ion was subject to the contro[ of the Partiament. The EPP Group uas therefore in favour of the discharge being postponed at this stage: a number of probtems first had to be sotved and more comprehensive answers provided by

the Commission. The criticism leveILed at the Comm.i ssion was therefore a potiticaL criticism of the way in which various sections of the budget had been inplemented whereby the potiticaI wiLl- of ParLiament had too often been bypassed by spending budgetary entries wrongty and/or otherwise than had been Laid down during the budgetary procedure or was intended under the provisionaL tweLfths systefl

Harry NOTENBOOM (EEP/NL)2 discrss"d the probtem of own resources. 1980 uas the first year in which VAT was Levieo as an ot,n resource in aLl the Member States. However, the proper colLection of VAT and the fixing of the VAT base was stitL causing probLems- An evaluation shouLd quickty be made to see if everything was being done as the teg.i sLaton and parliament i ntended.

During the debate aLI the speakers expressed regret that Heinrich AIGNER, chariman of the Committee on Budgetary Controt, who had made a major cont|ibut ion to the drawing up of the report, was unab[e to attend the debate or.ring to a short but serious iILness (he has since nesumed his functions). He t.ias highl-y praised for the way in which he had impelLed the commission to adopt a more accurate and fitting approach to documentation of the budqet.

218 COMMITTEE ON THE RT'LES OF PROCEDURE AI{D PETITIONS

A totaL of over 50 petitions were considered by the Committee on the Rutes of Procedure and Petitions from July 1981 to Juty 1982.

0f these, onty 10 wene decLared inadmissibte in that they did not faLL uithin the sphere of the activities of the Communities'.

Examination of a further 10 was carried out by the commi ttee uithout the need either for additionaL information from the Commission, aLthough this was requested in respect of 4 other petitions, or for the opinion of other parLiamentary committees 'i nto whose terms of reference the subjects of certain petitions might have faLLen. This Iatter procedure was necessary, however, for some 25 other petitions on which opinions were given by the PoIiticaI Affairs Committee, the Committee on SociaI Affairs, the Commi ttee on Youth and Cutture, the Committee on Devetopment, the LegaL Affairs Committee, etc. One petition was the subject of a uritten procedune fon a motion for a )7 resotution- and another Led to a repont by the Committee on the Envi ronment". As regards the RuLes of Procedure, at each of its meetings, the Committee on the RuLes of Procedure gave a certain number of authentic intenpretations of the sense and scope of various ruLes and paragraphs on which it had been requested to give an opinion pursuant to RuLe 111. In par"ticuLar connection with this area of activity was the committee's cLarification of Rute 33 of the RuLes of Procedure which provides for the possibitity that, in certajn matters, parIiamentary procedures can be compLeted at committee tevel, on the same Lines as a wetL-known procedune practised in the parliament of one Member State; it was incorporated into the RuLes of Procedure by the European ParLiament after dinect eLections in order to reduce as far as oossibte the size of the agenda of pLenary sittings4.

AdditionalLy, the Committee on the RuLes of Procedure examined some proposed amendments to the Rutes of Procedure which had been tabted under RuLe 112; on these, howeven, it did not see fit to take further act'ion. Giovanni PERISSINOTTO

219 220 COMMITTEE ON INSTITIITIO}AL AFFAIRS

In!rsdcs!isq

Six months after the Committee on InstitutionaI Affairs began its work, the EPP partiamentary Group adopted its oun strategy on this issue at a meeting in Luxembourg on 30 June 19E2.

In addition to members of the European Partiament the protfacted debate was attended by many members of the nationaL Parliaments who have been associated with the parI iamentary group's work with the aim of formutating a reaIistic atrategy that, once the new Treaty comes to be drafted, coutd not confIict Lrith the views of the nationaI parLiaments. For it witL be for their Parliaments to examine the draft Reform of the Treaties currentLy being drawn up by the European ParIiament.

The objective of the EPP is to achieve a European Federation by way of European Union. As Lambent CROUX (EPP - B), chairman of the working party on poIiticaI affairs, summarized it, the strategy catLs for action that is: 1. cont i nuous 2. como rehens i ve 3. target-oriented.

The continuity of the action is founded in the tegacy of Europe's founding fathers (Schuman, Adenauer, de Gasperi), and countries more recent acts (the Tindemans and Bertnand reoorts and others) and current efforts (!,,lithin the European Partiament, the Commission and the Council).

The action shoutd be comprehensive, i.e. take account of the retationship between institutionaL and poIiticaI probtems and the ne[ationship betu,een the Institutions (European Partiament, Commi ssion and Councit).

A target-oriented strategy impties action in two stages: f. in the short-term Goncerning the progress that can be made under

22r the terms of the existing Treaties); 2. in the medium/ tong-term (concerning the revision of the Treat'ies)

The EPP partiamentary Group is of course aware of the comptexity and ftexibiLity invoLved in such a strategyi it caL[s for a commitment by the group as a whote to seek to overcome nationa[ist opposition within the Member States and to promote the devetopment of the Community hrhich t,rith its present policies and existing resources has frequent cause to doubt its own future.

THE COMMITTEE'S WORK

0n 9 July 1981 the European ParIiament voted by a substantial' major.ity 'to create a permanent committee on institutionaI probtems as from the second hatf of the term of office of the European Partiament uhose task it uritt be to drau up amendments to the existing Treaties'.

The European Partiament, 'noting with anxiety that the dec tarat'ions of intent and the officiaL resotutions adopted on severaI occasions on the estabtishment of a European Union in 1980 by the progressive reform of the existing institutions have not atways been active[y pursued' and 'aware of its immense poLiticaL responsibitity', decided 'to take futt initiative in giving fresh impetus to the estabtishment of European Union''.

In these two highty significant paragraphs the European Partiament gave notice of its firm intention to set in motion the process of institutionaI reform - perhaps the only possibte way at present of breaking the deadtock affecting the Community institutions - by ctaiming a right of initiative in this fieLd.

As a resutt of this vote, the Committee on InstitutionaI Affairs was set up in January 1982.

The committee, conposed of 37 members, etected Mauro FERRI (SOC-I) chai rman and Sjouke JoNKER (PPF-NL) fi rst vice-chairman,

'0J No. C 234, 14.9.1981 , pp 48'49

222 At its first meet'ing the committee decided to appoint a coordinating rapporteur and a number of 'sectorati rapporteurs (tater fixed at six) on the main subjects fatIing within the terms of reference of the future European Uni on.

After a tong discussion the representatives of the various pol,itical, groups agreed on the foItowing subjects:

1. Economi c poticy (internat and externat aspects) ?. A poticy for society (socia[, regiona[, cutturaI and information poIicy) 3. PoIiticaI cooperation and security; devetopment aid 4. Finances of the European Union 5. Law of the European Union 6. Institutions of the Eurooean Union

The EPP nominated tb,o rapporteurs, Gero PFENNIG (PPE-D) for the report on the poIicy for society and Ortensio ZECCHINO (PPE-I) for the report on the Institutions of the Union.

The other main politicaL groups also nominated a rapporteur each. The EPP aIso nominated as shadou-rapporteurs: for subject 1: Erik BLU|4ENFELD (PPE-D) for subject 2: Joannes VERR0KEN (PPE-B) for subject 3: Paota GAI0TTI DE BIASE (PPE-I) for subject 4: Pietro AD0NNINO (PPE-I ) for subject 5: Jochen van AERSSEN (PPE-D) for subject 6: Konstantinos KALLIAS (PPE-G)

At the same time. the comm'ittee dreur up a timetable of work consisting of three stages:

't. Iirs!-s3esc-:--!s-Jc!y-199?

Laying doun generaL guidetines for the reform of the Tneaties and the attainment of European Union; preparat ion of a resotution for

223 discussion at the Juty 1982 part-session.

2. !essnd-s!egs:--!cp!eqber-12Q?-:-!pclns-1?9:

Drawing up of six reports on the tasks, terms of reference and institutionaL structures of the European Union. During this second stage the committee wil-L organize hearings of authorities and prominent figures from the Member States and appticant countries r.rhose activities have significantLy inftuenced the process of European i nt eg rat i on.

In addition, the committee wiLt take the most appropriate steps to attract the attention of nationaL pol-iticaI forces and the information media to its uork.

3. Ibird-s!cge-:--!prins-:-geseEbc!-1?qI

Preparation of a draft 'Const'itution Treaty' to be discussed in ParLiament between September and November 1983-

In January 1984 the text wiLt be sent to the national ParIiaments.

It hlas aLso thouEht ubefuL to prepare. a coILeciion of, the institutionaL documents of the.Community from 1950 to 1982. This coltection is an anthoLogy of officiaL documents and fundamentaI texts which form an ext reme[y usefuI working tooL.

The hearings scheduted as part of the second stage of the committee's working timetable began at the meeting of 28 and 29 ApriL at which Gasron Thorn, President of the Commission, and Leo Tindemans, President-in-0ffice of the Counci L of Ministers, addressed the committee.

This first encounter oroved to be of considerable interest and once again brought home to Members not onLy the difficuLties standing in the way of the committee's initiat'i ve for reform, but also the need for partiamentary action in the face of the current Community cr"isis.

224 After this first hearing the comittee heard at its June Meeting Mr CarIi, President of UNICE, Mr Roseingrave, President of the Economic and Sociat Committee, and Mr Debunne, President of the European Trade Union Confederation.

The committee's main work, however, has been the drawing up and discussion of the report on the European Partiament's position concerning the reform of the Treaties and the achievement of European Union, the first report by the Committee on InstitutionaI Affairsa.

The text submitted to Parliament was the outcome of a compromise, reached not without difficuLty and involving 90 amendments; it constitutes a coherent whote reflecting the pos'itions of aIl- the poLiticat forces.

Neverthe[ess, it should be borne in nind that this first report is a framework reference document which wiLI be devetoped further by the reports on speci fi c subjects.

The resotution sets out the objectives - both institutionaI and politicaL - of the process of revision of the Treaties with a vieu to achieving European Un ion.

As far as the institutionaI aspect is concerned, the report proposes that legistative pouer be vested jointLy on equat terms in the Counci I and the Eurooean Partiament and it cat[s for a cLearer definition of the executive powers to be exercised by the commission.

As far as policies are concerned, the report states that a nere institutionat structure shouLd evolve new poLicies capabte of deaIing more effectively with the Community's probLems (on the basis of the princip[e of additionatity), seeking to create an economic and potiticiaI who[e based on greater soIidarity between peoptes and abte to pLay a ro[e in internationaI af f ai rs.

tDoc. 1-305182 of 21 June 1982

225 The amendments to the draft report presented by the Chri stian Democrats at the committee stage introduced a number of vital options of importance for the future, notabty in the paragraph on the institutions.

In fact, the fundamentaI principle of this paragraph is that of the separation of powers - considered to be an essentiaI etement, as 0rtensio ZECCHIN0 (PPE-I) and Luigi tvlACARI0 (PPE-I) both stressed in speeches to the House - combined with a proper appLication of the system of majori ty voting within the Counci I as provided folin the Treaties, the absence of which, as Jean SEITLINGER (PPE-F) pointed out, had oroduced the current deadLock.

At the present time the Counci [, which operates as an intergovernmentaI institution, participates in both Iegistative and executive powelin such a way that neither Par"Iiament nor the Commission can futLy exercise either of these oowers-

Since the finaI wording of the text, the resu[t of a compromise Laborious[y worked out within the Groups, constitutes a coherent whote which it wou[d be preferrabLe not to aLter, the EPP Group has decided not to table any amendments in the House.

At its Juty 1982 part-session the European parliament devoted two days to the discussion of the resotution, in the course of which speeches were made by a large number of Members from all the political gnoups, who were eager to express ParLiamentrs atmost unanimous concern over the 'inst itut i ona I probtem.

It uas stressed in severaI quarters that t"te shouLd not confine the debate to the reform of the institutions, but shou[d strive to change their poLicies, powers and tasks, to enabLe us to place more convincing, but above aLL more concfete so[utions before the citizens of Eurooe in 1984.

Speaking on behatf of the Christian Democrat Group, the Chairman paoLo BARBI (PPE-I) said: tln fiese three years we Members of the European ParIiament, the first to be etected by the peopte of Europe, have been

226 given ampte proof of the fact that with'i ts existing institutions, the Community cannot advance; perhaps it cannot even survive for it is in danger of paratysis'. rThere lJas no doubtr, he went on, tthat, considering the institutionaI means avai Lab[e to us, t'le must look tlith concern on the functioning of a Community t,lhere the participating countries, 'instead of acting with rigour and decision, using Community means, persist in confrontation and confLict, hotding fast to the methods and mentatity of the national States, as if we were stitt in the nineteenth century, in the age of coaches and steam engines, of coLoniaL empires and gunboats. This is why we feet a strong and courageous politicaL imputse is necessary in order to bring the Community out of its paratysis and to suggest ne|,., !,ays and means.

The betief that the prevaiLing strong and stubborn nationaLism and shortsighted economic egoism can be overcome is penhaps a Utopian one, but equaL[y so is the conviction that the Community created twenty five years ago can be kept aLive solety with tre existing policies and the existing institutionaI machinery'3.

The Chainman of the EPP Group ctosed by saying; '|lJe Christian Democratic Members of the European Partiament, for our pant, are concerned that the on[y way to gain recognition for the democnatic Legitimacy that we hotd from direct popu[ar eLection is to correct the power retationships governing the Community institutions, that is, to enabte these institutions to function property, removing the obstactes which hinder" and paratyse them'4.

The debate in ParIiament was very productive and members of the Christian Democrat Group took part in Large numbers, exptaining the various possible approaches to a revision of the Treaties. The foItowing spoke in particutar: Mr van AERSSEN (PPE-D), Mr ANToNIoZZI (PPE-I), Mr BLUMENFELD (PPE-D), Mr CROUX (PPE-B), tvT JONKER (PPE-NL), IYT KALLIAS (PPE-G), |vT McCARTIN (PPE=IRL), Mr PFENNIG (PPE-D), Mr PFLIMLIN (PPE-F)-

227 The history of European integration in the Iast thirty years has been marked at every stage by christian Democratic initiatives and today once aga.i n, in the context of the work of the new committee, the partiamentary christian Democrat Group has been the first to take the initiative in organiz.ing a meeting with our col Leagues from the nationat Pantiaments, without whose agreement and poLiticat support this initiative would be futi[e and might prove to be no more than an academic exercise-

It shouLd also be noted that tt.ro motions for reso[utions tabted by Christian Democrat Members are current[y befone the Committee on Inst i tut i ona L Affa i rs.

These are the motion for a resotut ion by lYlr JoNKER, Mr van AERSSEN and others' on the draft Treaty on the first stage in the imp[ementation of European Union, and tle'motion for a resolution by Mr van AERSSEN, llr A BARBI and others" on the priorities for the second haLf of the current par['iamentary term.

These motions for resoIutions, which are evidence of the Christian Democrat Members' unfailing concern and determination to act in this fieLd,

In this resotut ion, fo[|owing confirmation by the European Partiament of the need to draft a new Treaty on European Union, the Members of the EPP parliamentary Group calt on the Presidents of the Counci L, the Commission and the European ParIiament to organize and convene a conference of nationaL governments before the end oI 1983-

I. In response Eo Ehe request rnade in July 1981 by 109 signalories, iE was decided Eo set up' Pursuant to Rule 95 of the Rules of Procedure, a CouunitEee of Inquiry inUo the Situation of Women in Europe, ltith the following terms of reference:

- to revier4' Eo what extenE and at what pace the EuroPean authorities have acted on the recommendaEions conEained in the resolution adopted by the European ParliamenE in FebruarY;

- to moniEor developmencs in the posicion of women in rhe countries of the European CoronuniEy, and in particular Ehe irnPlenentaEion of Comnunity

directives ;

- to report Eo the European ParliamenC on the conpletion of iUs work, and within one Year aE the latest.

on Monday, 12 October 1981, the European Parliament adoPted chis proposal(1). The cof,mittee was aet up on 15 OcEober l98l and is composed, in cormton accord beCween Ehe representatives of the political groups of l8 members. The first cha i.rman was Marie-Claude VAYSSADE (SOC - F) who was replaced, in January 1982, by Maria-Luisa CINCIARI RoDANo (coM - I).

In November f981(2), Ehe Committee of Inquiry decided Eo appoint raPPorteurs to consider 18 subjects, among which: Ehe implementation of Comnunity directives on equal pay and equal treatment, raPPorteur: Paola GAIOTTI DE BIASE (EPP - I); new technologies and Eheir effect on Ehe employment of womenl Ehe effect on !,lomen of projected EuroPean social Fund measures, rapporreurt Johanna MAIJ-WEGGEN (EPP - NL); problems encountered by women in farnily businessesl women in the Third world; ParenEal leave; the situation of women officials and other agenEs of the CorununiEy institutions, rapporteur: Marlene LENZ (EPP - D); and education, raPPorteur: Nicolas ESTGEN (EPP - L).

23L Frorn Lhe ouEseE, iE was proposed chat the couunitEeers tasks should consist in puEEing questions, organizing hearings and, possibly, organizing nissions.

2. Quite apart from Ehis own-initiative work, Ehe Commissionrs new Communicy action programme on Ehe promolion of equal opportunities for women has been referred Eo lhe Committee of Inquiry, which chus assumes lhe role of an ordinary parliarnenEary comriEuee carrying ouE the prepalaEory work for the European ParlianenE's consultaEive acEivity(3).

On 29 March 1981, Ehe comrnicEee unanimously adopced the motion for a resolution as a whole. This rNew Communily AcEion Prograrnrae I of the Commission, which it acknowledges Eo be largely inspired by che European ParliamenErs resolution of 11 February t981, begins by proposing Ehat equal EreaEmen! should be supplement.ed by the sErengEhening of individual righEs. In particular, Ehis involves Eracking down insEances of I indirecu discrininac ion' , improving legal redress procedures in respecc of equaL EreafmenE, ensuring thaE fiscal legislation does not. lead to indirect discrininacion against women workers, promoting policies for lhe reorganization of working hours and the more equal sharing of parental respons ibi lit ies.

Parliament considered Ehis repor! in sErasbourg(4) on wednesday, l2 May 198r. The drafEsman of an opinion for Ehe CornmitEee on Social Affairs, Maria-Louisa cAs SANMAGNAGo CERETTT (EpP - r), considered Ehat this acEion prograrutre did not come up to expecEations: Ehere was no sign of priority actions aimed aE achieving genuine parity between men and women. In her analysis, she also sEressed the need for a rearrangemenE of working hours, better facilities for training women in the use of new technologies and Ehe sharing of responsibilities in education; she also discussed Ehe special role which the social Fund should pray in promoting equality of opportunity, Ehe requisiLe adjustmenEs Eo pension systems and, not to be forgotEen, the problen of migrant women workers and women in the Third World.

According to Marlene LENZ, fhe Cornrnis s ion puts excessive trust in the Member States to irnplemenE the acEion progranme. The prograrune rdas Eoo vague about vocational craining and social security ma!ters. Moreover, the Comnission did noE have sufficient staf f.

Marlene LENZ was in favour of part-time work, but warned thaE it must noE be used as a means of squeezing women out of t.he employment market.

In conclusion, she spoke of the tax discriminaEions agains! women and recommended appropriate soluEions in the various Member SEaEes.

Johanna MAIJ-VIEGGEN congratulated fhe Commission on Ehe promptness with which it had presented its programme, but considered that iEs contents Lrere incompl ete .

She poinced to three areas where serious problems remained. In social security Ehe 1978 directive was incomplete because it did not cover the quesEion of pensions. Moreover, the Member States had found ingenious ways of rnisinEerpreting Ehe directives in question, which. led to indirect discrimination in their social security rules. Equal treaEment could no! be achieved while there was inequality in the maEEer of Eaxes. In conclusion, she referred Eo Ehe problem of the millions of European women farmers who had neither income nor professional status.

Belond feminist protesE

Although the Connissionrs acEion Programme was based on a very sound philosophy and proposed realisric and feasible measures, iE suffered, unforEunately, from a lack of precision, according to Nicolas ESTGEN. Ile also regretted thaE litEle had been said abour educaEion. In his view, 'everything begins hrith educationr l at home and at school. And, while iE was true that women must be prepared for working life, men musE also receive preParetion for household duties. Wha! proposals, he asked, had been put forward for women aged between 40 and 50 who, once their children had grown up, sometimes became societyrs 'displaced personst ?. He also called for promotion oPPorEunities for women occupying unskilled posEs' since this seemed Eo encounEer even greater resistance than the direct recruitmen! of women Eo senior Posts.

233 Alphonsine PHLIX (EPP - B) asked that professional accivity and duties should be held in equal esteem, r{rhe ther perforned by women or men. Both were enEitled to freedom of choice without suffering from a guilt complex.

ThaC same day, Ehe European Parliamen! adopEed, almosE unanimously, this report on Ehe new CommuniEy action prograrume.

In brief, Parliament called on the Commission Eo give ics ideas practical form by suburifting, in the very near future, the various legal irnplemenEing measures recommended in ies prograflrme and to ensure !hat, during Ehe transitional period of applicacion of the directive on equal treatment in social securiEy, Lhe Member SEaces refrained from Laking any measure liable Eo jeopardize the iroplemenEation of the principle of non-disc rimination or strengEhen existing discrininaEion. Aware Ehat certain means rrrere necessary to achieve Ehe desired end, ParliamenE urged Ehat Ehe necessary funds and extra staff should be made available.

3. In addiEion Eo the reporE menEioned previously on the promotion of equal opporcuniEies for women (1982-1985), Ehe committee delivered its opinion on the review of che Regional Deve l opment. Fund, the d irective on parE-Eime work and Ehe 19 83 budger.

At presenLr the conmitEee is conEinuing Eo consider che working documents (outlines) and reporEs drawn up by Ehe rapporteurs on the various subjeccs selected and is preparing for the hearing due to Eake place in AEhens on 22 and 23 September on the siEuation of women in Che new Member SEaEer Greece, this to be followed by a visic to a farming region of Greece, in order ro examine the situarion of women in specific regions.

- Japan: The ctassic (constant) features of relations between the Japanese and EP de[egations are stiLI most evident with regard to the diff icul-ties deriving from the fact that it is extremety difficutt to convince the Japanese that their market for EEC exports 'is f r"equentLy impenetr"abLe and presents a Iarge number of non-tariff barriers, even if many of these barriers are of a sociaL on psy- choLogicaL and not an administrative nature (see PE 75.200/BUR).

The areas in which the delegation sought to test the infLuence of both partiaments on thejr governments remained essentjatLy:

1. the eLimination of customs duties or restrictions on a ulhote range of Eunopean exports to Japan, such as footwear, tobacco, bi scui ts, confectionery. etc-i

?. the harmonization of European attitudes towards trade with Japan (in particuLar towards imports of motor vehictes), to make it easier for the Japanese to negotiate with the Community;

? greater hanmoni zation of standards;

4. common (or at least agreed) heatth and safety provisions, etc.;

greater recognition of the importance of European investments in Japan and improved terms for these investments;

6. converse Ly, greater tLingness on the part of the Japanese to invest in Europe on f ai r and acceptab[e terms;

7. proposaIs for specif ic areas of techni cat cooperat ion;

8. caLL for the conclusion of recipt"ocaI suppLementary agreements or joint agreements on more substant iaL deveLopment projects in the Third WorLd; z5 | f. improved terms for foreign insurance and banking institutes

'in J apan.

- China: has for a tong time been considered as a potential partner of the European Community. During the detegation's discussions the Chinese representatives, who t.,ere the hosts, referred constantly to rSoviet dominationt. 0n the other hand, China is [ange[y dependent on the modennization of agricuLture and aLso to a certain extent/ and this is feasibLe, on economic decentraIization with a vieh, to seIf-management.

China is making it increasingIy ctear that it is extremeIy interested in estabtishing a diaIogue r.lith the EC. It wouId tike to see cooperation in many fields, such as scientific cooperat'i on and

cuLturaL exchanges (PE 75.240/75.751) -

A basic descript ion of requi rements in the context of Partiamentrs retations h,ith the count|ies of Latin America, the United States and ASEAN uas contained in the annuaI reoort for 1980/81. These activities lrere, as expected, extended in 1981 /82 (see annuaL feport of the EPP Group of 1980/81 , p. 159-165; draftsman: Jan Christian Btohm, and p. 176-171, draftsman: H.U.

238 V. SI'MMARY OF DISCUSSIONS AT THE EPP STI'DY DAYS IN I{APLES AND I,IMERICK

239 2+O SUMMARY OF DISCUSSIONS AT THE EPP STUDY DAYS IN NAPLES AND IRELAND, 1981/82

I. NAPLES

The work of the group in Naptes (31 August - 4 September 1981 ) centred around the fo L Iowi ng topics: - Anatysis of the internationat situation - Aspects of Community en[argement and its repercussions in the Mediterranean - A European poticy in the fieLd of tetematics - Regionat ba tance - Emp[oyment policy

The anatysis of the internationaI situation confi rmed the basic fact of a generaL worsening of retations between East and West, North and South. The major geostrategic factors affecting Europe (new tJestern poticy of containment as a response to the policy pursued by the Soviet Union of pincer movements chiefLy in the form of a wortdulide naval presence) tangentiaIty impinge on European trade and security interests. This is particutarty noticeabLe in the Mediterranean. It therefore appeared desirabte to study aspects of Community entargement and its repercussions in the Mediterranean r"lith the resutt that the EPP has now ('l 982) been abte to present to the European Pantiament a proposaL for a Mediterranean pLan drawn up by Hans August TUECKER (EPP-D) (Doc. PE 77.222, initiated by Hans-Gert PoETTERING) (EPP-D) which owes a considerab[e amount to the conctusions reached at the study days in Naptes. This proposaI was endorsed by ParLiament. Further work in this fieLd took the form of a study of the essentia[ aspects of req'ionaI batance. The discussions were chiefty concerned with potiticaL and economic considerations re[ating to Community en[argement to the south and reIations with the states in the Southern Mediterranean, e.g. Israe[, in terms of their importance for the Community. Essentiatty, the areas of concern fatL within trade and security poticy.

Two topics received speciaL consideratie: l::'..tL l-:gh t of current devetopments: a) A European policy in the f ieLd of telematics. b) Emptoyment poticy. The revolution in the fiel"d of tel€oet.lls has widespread imptications of a programmatic, information and technicaI nature. It not onty affects the medi a : videotext, ind ividua I tete-information, eIectroni c information transfer, but is aIso revotutionizing conventionaI production structures. The opportunit ies offered by, and dangens inherent in, such systems were discussed. The basic theme was a discussion of the quest ion of tetematics and f reedom.

The EPP Group then went on to discuss the speciaI probtems of employment 4!!32'. This discussion was based on the assumption that there wi IL be a rise in the manpotrer avai tabte in most Member States untit the year 1990; thereafter it witL dectine, but with the tjketihood of high unemployment in the meantime. Unemployment among young people is a particutarLy serious aspect of this probtem. The entire issue caILs for measures which take account of a) the objectives of export incentives and b) the need to take steps against short and medium-term unemptoyment. The European Regionat and SociaL Funds shoutd encourage integration.

II. Limerick

The Grouprs work in Ireland (study days from 1-4 June 1982 in Limerick) focussed on the fotlowing themes:

the EPP in Africa: the major poI i cy options (Euro-African cooperation) 'inc ludi ng socia[, economic and fam i ty poticy; Southern Africa; enerov ooIi cv bet!,een ideatism and reaIity (inctuding an account of the Commission's proposats on envi ronmentaI policy, historicat and soci a L poticy aspects, generaL economi c and Iegat repercussions).

The opening remarks by the EPP gr-oup chairman in the European ParLiament PaoLo BARBI (EPP-I) to the effect that devetopment poIicy should be seen in"the context of its effect on peoptes' reaI situation brere taken up and further deveLoped by the ItaLian Foreign Minister EmiLio CoLombo: Mr Cotombo caIted on Europe to create the necessary conditions and faciLities to enabte the African states to fend for themseIves. The basic conditions consisted chiefLy of the battLe against hunger and guaranteeing the defense of hunan rights. Mr Colombo described stabiLity on the African continent as a cruciaL factor in maintaining wortd peace. The African contribution to world peace woutd be 'genuine non-aLignment'.

242 - Mr Colombo emphasized the lli[lingness to engage in a dj-eLqgg. between Eurooe and Africa. He emphasized that this diatogue must be conducted in a manner which respected each individuaL African country's right to an autonomous potiticaI deveLopment. - Mr Cotombo also recommended the European states to seek ways and means of hetping the African countries to present and c[arify their wishes, desires and needs in the appropriate internationaI bodies. - He discussed African security problems and catIed for the sovereignty of African states to be re soec t ed. The generat framework of the discussions ttas considerably inftuenced by the conclusions reached by the generaI rapporteur t'littem Vergeer (EPP-NL) on the development of Africa and cooperat ion between Europe and Africa. These propose, in relation to the resolution on the North-South dialogue (adopted in Mandetieu-La-Napoule on 13 July 1978) and the report by Giovanni BERSANI (EPP-I) on the presence and activities of Christian Democrats in Afri ca, contributions to initiatives to develop a comptetety independent Africa and thus to wortd peace, reaffirm institutionat commitment to European- Afri can cooperation and the strengthening and extension of the Lom6 poticy; caIt on the European Community, as a concrete funther steo to the debate in the Eunopean ParLiament in September 1980 on the contribution of the Community to combating hunger and malnutrition, and as part of the measures proposed by the Commission in October 1981 , to accord priority to the most under-privi Ieged African countries and to grant further loans to support strategies to safegurad the food supp[y of these countries; highLight the creation of the EPPrs African fgrnda!_g!; caLI for more account to be taken of the peoptes' basic needs; provide for sociaI and educationat 'i nfrastructure measures.

In the context of the debate on the reports by Jean PENDERS (EPP-L) and Kurt WAI'IRZIK (EPP-D), |,'|iLlem VERGEER makes the important point that EPP strategy shoutd consist in support ing the genuine nationaI forces in Africa seeking to estabLish true autonomy.

The basic assumpt ion in the discussion on @ ideal.ism and reatity was that the batt[e against the despoLiation of nature and the Living environment shouLd enjoy high priorjty among the

243 economi c and sociaI goats of the Community. Envi ronmentaI tegis- tation shouLd be inctuded within the f rameurork of the proposaLs for the common market (further harmonization of envi ronmentat legistation in the Member States). In his comments on the Commission proposaLs for envi ronmentat poticy in the near future, Commissioner NARJES pointed out that Community envi ronmentat poLicy and the Commission proposats in this fietd shouLd be based on, and designed for, the reaI situation, Ten years ago it wou[d have been regarded as Utopian that in 1982 the Community wou[d have a weIt-structured and effective - atbeit stiLI incomplete - environmentaL poLicy. This substantiat progress shoutd not be underestimated.

The visits by deLegations of Epp members reftect the main externaI relations poticy interests of the Group. The most important destinations for pol'iticaI contacts were Latin America, Africa, south ]Jest Africa and the Peop [e' s Repubtic of China.

t4Ii!_atESrga

The Grouprs re[ations uith Latin America and the Christian Democrat parties there continued to ptay an important rote in the year under revieu. centraI America was a major preoccupation. The Fatktands confLict between Argentina and Great Britain and the continuingty tense situation in uruguay uere a[so major f oca I po'ints.

1.-E!-!e!yeder

1-1 After the Group had sent a joint detegation, Hith the social,ist Group, on a 'fact-finding mission' to El- satvador, costa Rica and llexico in June 1gg1*, another detegation consisting of Horst LANGES (EPP-D) and Giosud LIGIOS (Epp-I) travet[ed to EI satvador in March 19ez to observe the etections.

The etections announced by president Napoleon Duarte earl.y in 19g.1 were hetd on 28 March 1982 to etect a constituent assembty uith the task of draring up neH a constitution and replacing the junta of civitians and m1 Litary personnel by an e[ected provisionaI government.

Right up to the [ast, controversy raged in the internationaI community - particutarty in Europe - as to uhether elections shoutd be hel.d in view of the continuing conftict in Et sal-vador, rhich had brought it to the brink of civil. uar. l'lhite Duarte was strongty supported by ail. the governnents of the 0AS (0rganization of American States) countries except Grenada, Cuba, lvlexico and Ni caragua, and its supporters atso inctuded the Latin American trade un.ion movement CLAT, the Organization of Latin American Christian Democrats (oDCA) and the episcopaI conference of Et saLvador, the etections r,lere rejected and opposed by the left-ring opposition Frente.Democratico Revolucionario (FDR) I'ed by the exiled Manuet ungo in Mexico and the FDR,s mil.itary uing, the [i'larxist gueri Ita organizat ion Frente Farabundo lvlarti Liberacion Nationat (FMLN) - This negative stance Has supported by some church group.ings, such as etements of Pax christi, by Amnesty InternationaL and by the majority of the European media, but chiefLy by the Sociatist Internationat (SI) under the teadership of tllitti Brandt. ihe great sociat-democratic parties of Venezueta

* see Et Salvador report (23.6 - 1.2.1981) Doc. 4lEZ

t4 I (Accion Democrat.i ca) and costa Rica (the governing Liberacion party) dissociated supported themsetves at an earLy stage from this united front, however; they and Duarters poLicy of graduaL progress towands democracy through eLections, rejected the sI,s description of the elections as'a mere farce'. the ALthough the Left boycotted the etections, candidates were fieLded by christ.ian Democrats and five opposition parties. The parties thought to have some chance of eIectoraI success, apart from the centre-[eft Christian Democrats, were ex-Major d,Aubuisson's radicat right-t'|ling Partido ALianza Repubt ican NacionaIista (ARENA) and the fonmer right-wing party of government, the Part'ido de Conci I iacion Naciona[ (PCN).

Duarte, who had been eLected president in 1972 but had been deprived of his victory by the machinations of the military, wanted the etections of 28 March 19g2 to be the first free etections in the history of the country. He therefore invited atI governments, internationat organizations, parties and sociat groups, and the press, to send officiaL obsenvers.

Th.i s invitation was accepted by, inter atia, the US, Canada, Great Britain, Spain, Austral,ia, New Zealand. Egyptr Israe[, lilorocco and atI the Latin American countries except Grenada, Cuba, Mexico and N'i caragua. Belgium instructed its ambassador in GuatemaLa to observe the eLections. DeLegations uere sent by CLAT, the 0AS, and the oDCA, and some 750 journal.ists aLso arrived. European Christian Democrats 1,1ere represented by parIiamentany deLegations of the Itatian Dc, the French cDs, the cDu/csu group of the German Bundestag and the ovP, uhi [e the christian Democrat Group of the counci t of Europe was represented by its chairman, Dr B[enk. These and other observers lrere kept constantty in touch uith devel.opments. The sI sent no offjciaL observers to the elections.

The EPP (CD) Gfoup detegation, like aLL the other observers, had compLete freddom to choose which districts to visit. It visited about 70 poLting stations in the capitat, San Satvador, and two adjacent provinces. After introductory talks with the nationaI eLection committee, the deLegation uas ab[e to gain a direct imoression of the conduct of the compLicated electoraL process and, tater, the counting of votes. Betueen them, the various delegations of observers covered the whoLe countny, apart from a few places in which the gueriL[as had succeeded in preventing the etections being heLd.

on the uho[e, however, the Left-wing extremists fajted in their attempts to disrupt the eLections by threats ('If you vote tomorrow you'[[ be dead by noon,) or violence (the destruction of means of transport and identity papers. sett.ing fire to potLing stations on election day)-

248 The size of the turn-out, which contrary to atI expectations, exceeded 802 and the wish of ordinary Satvadorans to put an end to viotence by means of the battot box, they toLd observers over and over again, refuted the FDR/FMLNrs claims that the peop[e were behind them. ElectoraL fraud was made almost 'imposs ibLe, as att the observers cou[d see for themsetves, by a very detai l-ed system of controts and the superv'is ion of the electorat procedure and the count by representatives of the parties taking part in the etection.

The Group detegation therefore agreed with the generaI consensus of the othen observers of the elections that: - the objective of hoLding free etections in the circumstances permitting in EI Salvador had been achieved; - the overwhelming majority of the peopte of EI Salvador had voted for peace and against v io tence; - the gueri lta movement had no grass-roots support and had faited in its various attempts to stop the etections. Further detaiLs are contained in the detegation's report (0bservation of ELections in EI Satvador, Doc. 6/8?, April" 1982).

1.2 The resutts of the eLections,in rlhich the Christian Democrats ulon aLmost 41% of the votes and 24 of the 60 seats, but their opponents, consisting of ARENA (approx. 29% and 19 seats), PCN (approx. 18%; 14 seats) and Accion Democratica (AD) (approx. 8'/"; 2 seats), obtained a majority in the assemb[y, produced a chaotic situation in the country. The gueritlas are active again, concentrating their efforts on the systematic destruct'ion of the country's communications and means of transport. The bLoody campaign against the PDC has been resumed, probab[y by right-wing rather than teft-u,ing eLements, with the murder of severaI Christian Democrat mayors.

ARENATs Leader, d'Aubuisson, has admittedLy not achieved his a'im of becoming President of the Republ. ic, but as President of the constituent assembLy he ptays a key roLe in the pouer strugg[e in EI Salvador.

The provisional government, Led by the former head of the national bank, Magana, who has no party affiIiations but incLines to the Christian Democrats, is made up of independents and members of the Christian Democrats, ARENA and the PCN. The Christian Democrats are represented by a vice-president, Chavez Mena, the foreign minister, as before, and the ministers of sociaI affairs, Labour and education, as ue[[ as, among others, the secretary of state 'in the ministry of agricutture. The army strong man, GeneraI Garcia,

249 remains minister of defence. Duante is the officiat PDC candidate for the presidentiat etections due to be heLd at the end of 1983 or early in 1984.

Four majn problems emerged from the delegationrs discussions uith Chavez Mena, the papal nuncio LasLo Kada, the generat secretary of the ODCA CaLvani, and Duarte (who also addressed the poLitical bureau of the EPP during a visit to Europe in June 1982): - the prospects of pursuing the reform programme (agrarian reform and nationaL- 'ization of banks and external trade), - the invotvement of the democratic Left in the process of democ rat i zat i on, and paci fication of the country, - continuing the process of democratization begun with the free elections, - a programme of economic reconstruct ion for El Sa[vador and CentraL America. In the opinion of Duarte and atI the other persona[ities invotved in these ta[ks, the future of the country depends to some extent on European Christian Democrats adopting an unequ ivocaL position touards it. After the faiture of the inter- nationaL anti-Et Satvador campaign, which had been in part a detiberate attempt at misinformation and uras nou being conducted onty as a reanguard action by the SI and some church movements, they are appeating for everyth ing to be done to achieve concerted internationaI action in cooperation with the US to safeguard the process of reform, and to bring together atI the democratic elements in the country to oppose vio[ence and the violation of human rights and to strengthen democracy. This atso caLLs for an integnated programme of econonic devetopment for Cent ra t America.

1.3 0n the initiative of Giosud LIGIOS and Horst LANGES, the European Partiament adopted in Juty 1982 a resotution on an extensive humanitarian emergency aid programme for the 'Caritasr of EI Satvador (-13E/82). Another resolution tabted by the two Members criticized a decision by the EC Cornmission in 1981 to cancet a project for school meals for needy chitdren under 12 years oLd.in EI Salvador because of vioLatjons of hunan rights in that country (Doc. 1-134/82).

3.-9cg!eqe!e

In connection with their visit to EI Salvador, Horst LANGES and GiosuA LIGI0S aIso had taLks with representatives of the Guatematan PDC, inctud.ing Rene de Leon, on the consequences of the coup of ?.3.1982. According to these sources the coup by Generat Rios Montt and 91 3 young officers offered a chance of graduatty restoring democracy by means of structuraI reforms. They warned that there shou[d be no irresponsibte ta[k of a 'right-uing coupr. The Christian

250 Democrats, rlith CaLvanirs support, had decided to cooperate uith the junta h,ithout formaL[y aLLying urith it, on condition that free etections under internationaI supervision woutd be he[d as soon as possible to open the way for democ ra cy.

L-Ntsgresua

0n the initiative of EPP (CD) Members Etmar BROK, Horst LANGES, Paoto BARBI, Siegbert ALBER/ NicoIas ESTGEN, Jean SEITLINGER and Ernst Majonica, the European ParIiament adopted an emergency resolution on the situation in Nicaragua (Doc. 1-332/82) in June 19E2.

This resolution condemned the restrictions ptaced on democratic and civit [iberties and the viotation of human rights, and demanded the restoration of independent trade unions and democratic institutions and the fixing of a date for free e lect i ons in Nicaragua.

The neaction from Nicaragua was swift. In Juty 1982, representatives of the potiticaL bureau of the ruting Frente Sandinista Liberacion Naciona[ (FSLN) and the Ni caraguan counci t of state exptained their countryis position on the EP resoLution to Etmar BR0K and Victor MICHEL. They btamed the USrs altegedly hostiLe attitude for the mi Iitari zation of the country, denied that there had been violations of human rights, prevaricated on the subject of free elections, and invited representatives of the European ParLiament or of the potiticat groups to visit Nicaragua and gain an objective vieu of the situation in that country on the spot.

The situation in Uruguay has deteriorated somewhat since the visit of a deLegation from the Group led by the vice-chairman lr.liLLen VERGEER (see report on Latin America 1? - 31 .1 .1981 III 2.b), and the resolution <1-974180) adopted in March 19E1 on the initiative of EPP members Mariano RUM0R, Egon KLEPSCH, Maria Luisa CASSANMAGNAGO-CERETTI and t.|iltem VERGEER. The ruLing junta's law on poLiticaL parties, uhich excludes the PDC and others from taking part in the efections ptanned for 1983, and the repeated imposition of bans lasting fot' severaL weeks on the opposition week[y 'Opcionr, give rise to concern over future deveLopments in the country. The Group has repeated[y protested at these measures and expressed its solidarity uith the PDC of Uruguay.

rn an emergency resolution tabled by the EPP group and debated during the fibrch 1982 part-session, the EP appealed to Uruguay to aLtou the existence of poLiticaI parties in accordance Hith the universaI democratic principles of non-discrimination, equaI opportunity and pLuraIism. 25L !.-9hi!e

The situation in Chite has not changed since the visit of the then chairman of the Group, Egon KLEPSCH, and his deputy ltlaria Luisa CASSANIIAG|{AG0-CERRETTI, in January 1981 (see report on Latin America 17 - 31 .1 .1981 , III 2(a)). The deportation of the former minister of justice and chairman of the Chi lean committee on human rights, Jaine Casti[[o, and the continuing exite of PDC teader Zatdivar, shoy that the government is not interested in restoring democratic and constitutionaI rights. The death o{ Eduardo Frei in January 1982 ras a severe b[oy to al. l. Christian Democrats, in Chite and etseyhere.

The Group's retations uith the governing COPEI in VenezueLa have traditional.ty been ctose, not teast because of the regutar visits to Europe by the generat secretary of 0DCA, Catvani. Venezueta, together rith lllexico, ptays an inrportant role in Centrat America. Venezuelars attitude to E[ Salvador - Supporting Duarte's poticy of reform and democratization - and to Nicaragua - maintaining good retations and continuing to provide materiat assistance. so long as there is stitl. a prospect of a pluratist system devetoping there - demonstrate the countryrs batanced foreign pol.icy.

In the course of the dispute betHeen Argentina and the UK over the Fal,kl.ands, atI our visitors from Latin America constantty took the opportunity of expressing their unaninrous support for the Argentinian ctaim to sovereignty over the lilatvinas and their disapprovat of the EC's sotidarity with the UK. A delegation of the CGT, Argentinars targest and predominantly Peronist trade union, was sent over for this express purpose, and exptained to tJil.tem VERGEER and Jean PENDERS their country's attitude. The trade unionists did, houever, total.ty reject the use of force by Gattieri, and dissociated thenrse[ves, [ike a[[ our visitors from Latin Ameri ca, from the military r6gime and its domestic poticies.

In conctusion it can be said that, through nunerous off icial. or private visits from Latin American Christian Democrats, and also from other parties and social gfoups, the Group maintains a regutar exchange of opinions and a satisfactory suppLy of i nformat ion. llans Ulrich REH

(Surnmary for the year 1981-1982)

1. At its study days in I'IANDELIEU-LA NAPOULE in Jul'y 1978' on the basis of a report by Giovanni BERSANI (EPP - I), the Christian- Democratic Group considered the roLe and action of Christian personatist thought in Africa and in conctusion reaffirmed its pol.iticat and institutionat commitment-to the Afri can continent, based on the Treaty of Rome and on the various association agreements uhich ted to the pol'icy of partnership enshrined in the tuo Conventions of Lom6-

Since then the group's African activities have been considerabty extended and properLy s t ructured.

2. Firstty, the llgigan-Eggndglign, a non-profit-rnaking association set up in Brussets on 10 .luLy 1980 nhose objective is to stimutate the various institutions nhich are interested in devetoping in Africa activities based on Christian-Democratic principtes and punsued in c[ose cooperation uith the potiticaL and sociaL-democratic forces in Africa, establ.ished its offices at 3, boulevard de L'Empereurr'1000 Brussets and in 1981-1982 extended its areas of activity and cooperation. Every month, on the tlednesday before the EP part-session, the Adrninistrative Board of the African Foundation met representatives of the EPP Group (EPP (HiLlem VERGEER (EPP - NL), Giovanni BERSANI, Victor f'lIcHEL - B), Kurt UAURZIK (EPP - D), Pierre DESCHAFIPS (EPP - B) and Flaria Luisa CASSANI'IAGNAGO CERRETTI (EPP - l), of the CDUU, the CDoA, sympathetic organizations (Konrad Adenauer Foundation, the Betgian non-prof i t-mak i ng association Cooperation and Sotidarity, etc), the African Committee for Devetopment, etc.

The African Foundation has thus become a permanent instrument for coordinating and assisting Christian-Democratic initJatives in Af rica.

The Foundation, which many members of the EPP group have joined, is set to be tinked to the group through a speciat financiat and technicat cooperation agreement which uitI in future enabte regular finance to be prov.ided for measures such as training Seminars, misSiOns tO establish contacts in various African countries, etc.

253 In addit'ion, the African Foundation 'i s coItecting documents on att natters of concern to Africa and retations uith the various African countries and intends shortty to pubtish a buItetin.

3. For their part, our African partners have independentty set up a body for cooperation rith the CDTJU and the EPP Group - the 4lllgg! !900i!3es-ler-!sye!epEs!!-!Ag! ) .

The first Afri can symposium of the CDtU !,as hel.d in Kigal.i (Rtanda) from 25 to 28 November 1980. Its main theme h,as training for community devetopment in Africa and most of the participants, sixty on so leaders of potitical., trade union, education and deveIopment cooperation organ'i za- tions from sixteen African countries hooed that an African committee voutd be set up to continue the uork of the symposium.

This is lhat happened at the meeting hetd from 19 to 24 October 1981 in NAIROBI (Kenya), when the African Committee of the CDIiU uas set up under the name African Committee for Development (ACD). The Epp Group xas represented at this Nairobi meeting by a detegation consisting of !,li Item VERGEER, vice-chai rman, and Kurt tr'lAtl|RzIK and Alain DE BROUUER (for the group's secretariat),

In its constituent statute the ACD is defined as fottows: rIn order to exptoit on the spot the various possibi Lities for cooperation 'in the f iel.d of socia[, economic and culturaI development between the partners of the ACP-EEC Convention of Lom6 and African non-gove rnmenta I organ'izations, the African Committee for DeveLopment, ACD, unites private individuats and NGOS interested in the devetopment of Africa on the basis of an open-ninded African-oriented sociaI humanismr.

The ACDrs objectives are to:

a) reJ Iect on and encourage reftection on development probtems in Africa; b) promote and he[p promote practicaI development measures; c) try to find the means needed to impIement these measures.

The ACD has thus becone the African partner of the CDtrlU and of the EPP 6roup of the European ParIiament.

254 The African Committee for DeveLopment etected its first Bureau in Nairobi consisting of the fotlowing:

- Chai rman: [vlrs Anne-ltlari e S0HAI lvlember of the NationaI Assemb[Y of SenegaI and Secretary-General of the Panafrican 0rganization for the Fami Ly (PAOF)

- V ice-chai rman: ltlr Pau[ SSEIIOGERERE Itlember of Partiament and Leader of the Democratic PartY of Uganda

- Sec retary-Genera [: Jtl r Err'rest f'lIHAmI ResponsibIe for the African section of the CDl.tU - First Deputy Secretary-General: ttlr Elwyn CHUTEL of the UDM (i s Iand of Mauritius) - Second Deputy Secretary-Genera[: Mr C6lestin LINGO of AIESD in Abidjan.

lrtil.Lem VERGEER'assured the new Bureau of the ACD of the support and cooperation of the EPP Group and a working meeting wiLl. be hetd in Brussels in 1982 to estabtish this cooperation and encourage the African NGOs to become invotved in our development poticies.

0n his return hl'i Ll.em VERGEER reported to a format group meeting in November 1981 on the outcome of the Nariobi meeting and the setting up of the AcD.

To enable the EFp Group to achieve its potiticat objectives and the African Foundation to achieve its practicaI objectives, t,l'i ILem VERGEER proposed in September '1981 the setting up of a body for consuttation rith the Christian-oemocratic Uor[d Union, the geg-g!9-up-:-9q!U-J.9i!! lSCIOjllgg. This committee, which is responsible for defining the broad outtines of our African policy, met for the first time in Brussels on 13 January 1982 and subsequentty in Strasbourg on 10 Harch 1982.

The group is represented on this joint committee by Giovanni BERSANI, Victor tt|ICHEL and tii tIem VERGEER.

5. The group decided to devote its g3g!y-9l9Ig-l!-!!UEEM (Irel'and) from 31 Hay to 4 June 19E? to the human 99P99!9-91-dgy9!9P89!!-j.!-Alljgg end-Ecre:Alrisen-ssepece!!eo -

255 The striking feature of these study days in Limerick is that they uere not simpl.y devoted to Africa but uere organized trith the direct invotvement of Africans active in the potiticat and sociat tife of their continent. The meetings uere chai red, and the various reports subnitted, jointty by Africans and Europeans.

Attention shoutd be draun to a number of important points for our future African activities contained in the conctusions reached at the study days:

reaffirrnation of the EPP Grouprs potiticat and institutional comnitrnent to €uro-African cooperation and to strengthening and extending the poticy of Lorli! (see points 2 and 3 of the conctusions);

direct support by the group for the African Foundation, its cooperation and exchange programnes and its permanent service in Brussel-s (see points 11 and 12);

cat[ for ctose cottaboration rith the African Comrnittee for Devetopment. ACD (see point 10);

approvaI of the setting up of the EPP Group - CDUU Joint Committce (see po{nt l3);

need for a fottov-up and reference to the rot6 of the Standing [orking Pafty on Devetopment in this connection, nith a vieu to obtaining the necessary cooperation rithin the EPP Group and uith the CDUU and our African partners (see point 17).

6. The African Committee for Devetopment, A€0, met in Brussets in the prernises of the EP, Boutevard de l.rEmpereur, fron 21 to 25June 1982 in order particutarty to estabLish contact rrith the ACp Group, but atso to increase its knorl.edge of the EEC, its poticy of cooperation yith the il60s as regards joint financing, its training policy, etc.

During this Erussets session ttlo neetings nere hetd uith representatives of the EPP Group'to discuss rays and means of cooperation, for exanp[e through the African Foundation, and a reception chaired by llr Eersani vas held 'in the Foundation's premises on boutevard de trEmpereur on 24 June.

256 At the end of the meeting the ACD made tuo proposats: a) as regards coordination, 'it suggests extending the existing EPP Group - CDTU Joint Committee to inctude the ACD' thus forming a tripartite cormittee; b) as regards the African Foundation, whose headquarters are in BrusseLs, its.objective las defined ('to seek out and channet the pubtic and private funds needed to imptement the progranmes draun up by the AcDr) and provision lras made for representatives of the ACD and of the EPP Group to becone statutocy nembers of the Foundationts Administrative Board.

FinatLy, the ACD confirmed the broad outtines of the training programme drafted at the Nariobi meeting: organization of tro seminars on the management of a development project (microprojects' etc.) one in a French- speaking country (in llest Africa), the othec in an Eng[ish-speaking country (East or Southern Africa). These tro seminars voutd conclude rith a generaI symposium on agricutture and rurat devetopnent in Africa.

7- lissions or vicits_lo_lhe_AgP_ssunlCleg yere carried out this Year by members of the Group. These CD missions rere in addition to those connected rith meetings of the ACP-EEC Joint Conmittee and provided an opportunity to obtain nrore information in the fieLd about the concern fett by our African partners.

In November 1981 a group detegation consisting of lliLlen VERGEER, vice-chairman, and Kurt IASIRZIK, together rith Al'ain DE BRoUIIER from the secretariat, visited the'island of ltauritius on the invitation of the UDil and observed on the spot the vital importance of the Sugar Protocot annexed to the first Convention of LomE for ACP countries such as llauritius, nhich are so targety dependent on their exports of cane sugar. rthe /qt the end of the visit Tit[em VERGEER stated that EEC guarantee to purchase fixed quotas at a price based on that offered to European sugarbeet producers enabtes llaurltius to protect its economy and to cope *ith the groring reguirements of itsgr.rtation and tJith the vitaI need to diversify its agricuLturat production, particutarty in the food crops sector r.

257 He declared that it was scandatous that the price of rar sugar shoutd be fixed on the basis of a uni taterat decision by the EEC Hithout genuine negotiations Hith the AcP statcs and that this year the Counci! had stiLl. faiLed to agree on an increase in the price of ACP sugar equal to the increase in the price of sugarbeetl, because of probtems which concerned onLy Briti sh refiners.

ftloreover, it t',as regrettabLe that the European Community had stiLL not acceded to the lnternationaI Sugar Agreement, r.thich made it impossibte to stabilize the l,or[d sugar market.

From 7 to 10 February 1982, a delegat.ion ted by Uittem VERGEER, vice-chai rman, and consisting of ltlarcet VANDET{IELE (Epp - B), Kohrad SCH0N (EPP - D) and Jean PENDERS (EPP - NL), together with Atain DE BROUI ER from the secretariat, visited Uganda and yas received by the President and the Vice-President of the Repubtic. At this reception President ttlitton 0B0TE emphasized his determination both to maintain a muLtiparty system and to oppose lommunist activities in his count ry.

Under the auspices of the Ugandan Partiament the group delegat.ion hetd taLks uith the principat teaders of the Uganda PeopIers Congress (UPC), the majority party, and of the Democnatic Party (DP), the opposition party affitiated to the CDWU. They atso hetd several meetings uith PaUL SSEM0GERERE, chairman of the DP and vice-chai rman of the African Committee for Development.

During these various taLks and meetings t{i u.em VERGEER stressed the importance of strengthening the democratic process nor under way and of promoting human rights, which rer.e the basis of atL genuine devetopment, as part of the reconstruction of uganda and the reconci Liation of its various constituent parts.

During its stay the detegation visited severaI projects invoLving the rehabi Iitation of infrastructure and of the countryrs industriaL potentiat uhich are being impLemented rith assistance from the European Devetopment Fund (EDF). rt uetcomed the fact that the EDF gave pr:iority to ruraL development, stock breeding and fisheries.

The EEC counciL did not succeed in overcoming British objections, by means of a number of compensatory measures, untit January 1982!

258 In addition, group chai rman Giovanni BERSANI visited Uganda from 13 to 15 February 198? at the invitation of Mr BUTAGIRA, co-chairman of the ACP-EEC Joint Committee and President of the Ugandan ParLiament-

Final.Ly, in November 1981 lt|r Ernest IIIHAMI, rho is responsibte for the Afnican section of the CDt'lU, visited ltladagascar and the IsLand of Mauritius and submitted a report to the group on his visits-

The group also received many African visitors to BrusseLs/ hrho stressed the importance of information and of direct and reguIar contacts.

After a ten-day fact-finding mission to SOUTH AFRICA involving daiLy tatks 11ith government rep resentat i ves, potiticians, scientists, trade union teaders and high-ranking mititary officers in Pretoria, Johannesbufg, Kra-Zu[utand and capetoun, three EPP members, t'lotfgang SCHALL (EPP-D)' James JANSSEN VAN RAAY (EPP-NL) and Jean PENDERS (EPP-NL), conducted a three-day fact-finding visit of inspection atong the border betueen Namibia and Angota-

The mititary sitqatlon:

By European standards, the South African troops stationed along the tong border uith AngoLa are an extremety sma[t defending force. Yet this force is quite targe enough to ensure miLitary superiority over the estimated 8-10 thousand-strong SUAP0 gueriIta force operating in Namibia and to secure the defence of Namibiars northern frontier.

It is a cr.ucial factor, houever, that the 1400km long border cannot be cornptetety seaLed to prevent incursions by smatt - sometimes extremety smatt - bands of SIJAP0 gueriLtas. SLfAPOTs methods are identical to those emptoyed in South Vietnam by the Vietcong and North Vietnamese commandoes: murders to intimidate the popuLation, planting Land mines, acts of sabotage, commandeering of food and incendiarism.

The potitiea! situalisn:

The process of achieving independence for Namibia as a democratic state seems at present to be a vicious cir6te offering no prospect of a potitical.ty viabLe solution in the near future, since: - The RepubLic of South Africa cannot, in the interests of its orn long term se tf-preservat i on, accept a Communist Nanibia, rhich voutd be direct[y or indireqtty dependent on and controLted by the ussR. The ring of Front Line states encircting South Africa routd thereby be comp[eted, and the country routd in effect be caught in a vice, particutarly trith regard to filozambique. In the tong term, any such development uoutd, in conjunction r.tith corresponding changes in the internationat situation' be unacceptabte on economic, strategic and geopotiticaI grounds not only to south Africa, but aLso, in consequencer to Europe and the tJestern democracies. - The free etections hel.d in Namibia have resutted in a democratic government yhich, regrettabty, is not recognized by the UN or the Uestern democracies because of the Comnunist SI{APo organizationrs refusat to take part in the

e [ect i ons.

26L The on[y hope of achieving a potiticaI sotution Iies in the eIirnination and comptete disarming of the mjtitant branch of the StlAPO organization based in AngoLa and operating over the border, This rou[d have to be accompanied by a redraw'ing of the frontier between Angola and Namibia.

The creation of a free and independent Namibia and the ending of the South African Protectorate can onty be achieved by the [iquidation of the nrilitant wing of SUAP0, the futL importance of uhich can be understood onty in the context of the uorld-ride conf[ict betreen East and l{est. (See report on the potiticat and mi[itary situation in South-tlest Africa/ Namibia, by llol.fgang SCHALL, EPP-D);

The information given by the abovementioned of f icial,s ras unaninous and obviousty conptetety in accordance rith the cteartlr-stated poticies of the present Chinese Governnent.

Thc Chinese Government is confronted by three great problems yhich are atmost insotubte in our present state of knowledge. These probtems ritt tax alt the resourees of the Chinese peopte over the n6xt tuo decadeg:

1. The geopolitical situation. This'is characterizqd by the huge size of china, the enornous distances, the compl.er and varied netqraL phenomena and the obstactes these pose to the development and improv{ment of the peop[ets standaids of living (extremes qf temperature, contr'lqsts betreen densel,y poputated areas and desert, steppe or mountain regions, annuaI ftoods and the threat to hundreds of thousands of peop[e from naturat catastrophes).

Attering this situation to anything approachilE European tiving stand€rds routd need nany decades, if not centuries.

262. 2. The second and most pressing cause for concern is chinars ever-increasing over-popuIation p rob Ien.

3. The third probLem is Chinars excessiveLy low econonic and industriat output rn comparison to the countryrs size and its 1.2 thousand mi tl.ion inhabitants. Here, too' severaI decades ril.L be needed to ach'ieve retativel.y satisfactory batance betleen agricutturaI and industriaL production. It is quite ctear that no significant improvement can be made in this situation in future unless china cooperates ctosely with the big industn'iaL firms of the us, the European Community and J apan.

Particu[ar importance is attached to ctose cooperation uith the partner states of the European comrnunity. At present close economic ties uith the Ec are regarded as an urgent priority.

!crther-ps!!!tee!-yietE :

- the opening up of the country to EC countries, the US and Japan; - the recognition and conviction that aggressive soviet imperiatism is the Ereatest danger nor facing the countries and peoptes of the yortd. The Societ strategy of extending its inf[uence in South-East Asis throughout the Far East, of obtaining controt of Africa and of encircLing the US by estabtishing Societ porer bases in central America, was clearLy anaLyzed and presented as just as inevitab[e as the USSRTs nediurn-term aim of sptitting the Uest European countnies fronr their attiance yith the US, crippting NAT0, neutrat.izing Europe and bringjng the continent under Soviet contro[. InterestingLy, the Chinese did not describe a third vorld rrar using nuclear ueapons as inevitabte; - the viegs expressed on the Repubtic of China (Taisan) rere those famitiar to us from the press. The Peopters Republ,ic of China ras ready to cooperate rith the Republ,ic of China at any time, and even to attoy the nationatist Chinese Government some poHer under the governm€nt of conmunist china, provided that Taiwan ras recognized as part of the Peopters Republ.ic of china, atbeit uith a futty independent locaI government and administration.
