Motion for a Resolution
by Ernest G1inne
according to article 25 of the Rules of Procedure
The European Parliament
- believing that the people of the Western Sahara has the right
to se1f~determination ;
- noting that Morocco, having occupied one part of the Western
Sahara, has now annexed Thiris e1 Gharbial (the part of Western
Sahara which was administered by Mauritania and which, as a
consequence of the Algiers Peace Treaty of 5 August 1979 has
been transfered to the Polisario Front)
- believing that this action transgresses the UN Resolution of
20 July 1979 :
Calls upon the governments of the Nine to vote in favour of
the resolutions introduced at the United Nations, which claim
the right of self-determination for the Sahroui people, disapprove
of the Moroccan occupation of the Western Sahara and plead for
a peaceful and lasting solution of the problem.
JUSTIFICATION
The above resolution, whose content is sufficiently explicit,
is an accurate translation of the resolution unanimously passed
by the Dutch First Chamber on 13 November 1979 .

Reduction of working hours is the only means of achieving a fair
distribution of work. TO enable women to participate in the economic life
~t society daily working hours must be reduced. This should eventually
result in a 5-hour day. This aim should be stated by Parliament. practical
suggestions will have to be made for a strategy to take us from the pre.ent
situation to thet of the desired 5-hour day. As the .tate of affairs is
different in each Member State, the only thing to be done is to urge
governments and parliaments to adopt adequate measures.

The debate will have to deal with the specific problema faced by
women in the third world. The Community'. aid programme will have to be
aimed at women far more than has so far been the case.

Education and actuation programmes must be initiated by the Community,
not geared e~clueively to the labour market's demands on women (and man)
but primarily to produce responsible human bein9s able to playa full
part in society.
10. g!!!!!!!!!!
In the debate (and the resolution) there must be discussion of how
these problems are to be tackled in future. (The resolution makes this
a tuk for the ad hoc committee).
It will be necessary to evaluate thoroughly the work of the 'women'a
bureau' of the Commission. The question will have to be e~amined of how an
effectivQ coordination, actuation and awareness-promotlng policy can be
drawn up.

even though the work is now being taCkled with great energy. the
ahort4ge of ti~ (until the summer recess' may be eeen as an insurmountable
obstacle now that eeveral months have passed.
The ad hoc committee would be wise to state the fact immediately.
Perhaps egreement oan be reached on a proposal to publish an interim
report before the summer recess. at which time a ~ate for a final debate
could be fixed.
As the question of a 'fair deal for wornen' played a coneiderable part
in the election campaigns of all political parties. the women of Burope
must be made fully aware that the European parliament is discussing their
problems and is eager to take note of their opinions.
A good method of achieving this would be by hearings in the ~uropean
Member States. The ad hoc committee ought immediately to set up a working
party to make preparations for such hearings.

It would li~e the membership of this committee to be increased to
24 on each side, this being the number of Greek Members who would
be entering Parliament in 19811 in this it di.agreed with the proposals
of the GreB~ Government to restrict the delegation involved
in preparations for accession to government obeervers.
The Bureau affirmed that it was willing to leave open the question
of places in the group for Greek Members of Parliament of eocialist
views, on the understanding that priority would be given to members
of the PASOK.
It would be recommending that the group consider ways of supporting
our GreeK comrades over:
- improvsments to the electoral laws in Greece
- trade union legislation
- suppression of municipal pawer in Greece
- the repatriation of Greek political refugees (in particular, those
from Eastern European countries)
- Greek Government prcsaure concerning recruitment of future
Community officials from Greece.
The Bureau decided to invite Andreas PAPANDREOU and a ~SOK delegation
to a meeting with the group in March. It also decided to propose
holding a meeting in Athens in the first week in May 1980.

By way of exception and without intending to establish a
precedent, the Bureau authorized the Members conce.ned to
vi.it certain regions of the united Kingdom particularly
affected by the steel crLsis during the wee~end of 12-13 January
1980. A request would be made to the Quaestors to enable the
expenses of delegationa of this kind to be dafrayed by Pa.liament
from the total .um allocated for travel each year to Members
of Parliament.
(c) At Eva GREDAL's requeat, information would be sought regarding
a newspaper article about an alleged invitation by a Socialist

of the Bureau has to BIlks a procedurll1 dedaion during a plenary
sitting. the mllllbers of the group will not challenge this decision
dudoll11 the dtUl19.
It wu with this dud problem of attendanoe at part-seaaion. and
votinq disciplins in mind that the,group aaked the Bureau to put
forward proposals for the introduction of parliamentary Whips,

.... it haa beCOlllI virtually imponiblll for individual Membero to
hAvl oral queationa with or withou.t debate placed on the agenda
of • part-aesaion, m~bera mIlat be asked again to refrain from
uling thia parliamlntary instrument.
.... far aa written questions are concerned, the enlarged Bureau
would like the groups to diseuse &rr&ng~.ent. for limiting the
number of euch que.tion.. The number of written questione tabled
by an individual Meml>er might thue be limited to two per month and.
indeed, suoh a limit already applies to question time.
The Bureau ot the Iccoptan Parliament haa rec~.nded that tho
groupe carry out a detailed etudy of the eo-called 'reqiltration'
prooedure for reSOlutions. Thi, procedur., Vhlch ie applied in
oertain countri.s, involve, the publication in a regiater or the
potting on a noticeboard of motions for reSOlutions tabled by
one or more individual members, ~o May notify other members of
such motion, once they have been Lodged in this ~ay. Other
~~ber. may then sign the resolution. which is not eubmitted
to the .....embly for d18ousBion until a minlmllm number of
siqnatures have been obtained.

At itl cQnltituent meeting of July 1979 the Sooialist Groop
decided to elact for a period o~ one year those member. Who
lIIore to hold poaitiona of reepon.ibility either in the group
or in bodiee of the European Parliament. The group will
therefore have to hold fresh ele~tiong in June or July of
this year.
7. Secretariat
The rejection of the budget means that inerea.es in staff
and the reorganization of the qroup secretariat cannot be
implemented before ths autumn. The secretariat will therefore
have to continue to·~,. with its increBsed workload using the
pr••ent staff.
"'S regards the group's internal procedures, members have bgen
asksd to go through the secretariat When tabling questions or at
leeet to .end the latter a COPy. In addition, memb8re Wishing to
table a question concerning another Member State have been aSKed
to oonsolt their comrades from the Member Sblte concerned beforehand.

Th~
European Parliament,
considering that t'1e first step tOYiard the establishment
of an overall energy policy nill"t be the adoption of a
policy governing prices and quuntitites for tracle in oil
in the Member states of the Europ~an Econo~ic
Community;
noting the growing influence of the free ~~rkets,
particularly thos~ of ~otterdarn and Cenea, on the ~rice of
hydrocarbons in the European Eco~omic COffi~nity;
noting that the community institutions have so far failed
to resume the Eura-Arab dialogue on economic cooperation,
particularly with the oil-exporllng countries;
noting thi'lt, since the 1973 eil crisis and the events
in Iran in 1978 and 1979, the initiatives taken by the
Euro})ean Economic comm,:nity have been insl1fficient to

2. Calls on the Commission to draw up a proposal for a
regUlation designed to regulate effeotively the free
markets and laying down a number of obligations which
oil companies and importing companies must observe:
(a) the companies referred ~o above shall be required
to register and to provide guarantees, in line with
their legal status, regarding their financial status
and the transparency of their accounts and, in the
case of the oil companies, guarantees concerning
their infrastructure and their storage, refining
and distribution capacity.
(b)
they shall be required to hold certain minimum stocks
to ensure the Community a margin of supply security,
(c)
(d)
oil companies and importing companies shall be
required to conclude long-term contracts containing
clauses guaranteeing deliveries if supplies are
subject to tensions.
oil companies and importing companies shall be
required to provide certificates of sale under
penalty of being prohibited from marketi. ng oil on
community territory.
(e) oil campanie 5 ana importing companies shall be
required tD make, for every transaction, a declaration
of the prices charged for each contract and each
amount, to the Member states who shall forward this
information to the Commission.
The Commission shall
draw up a good conduct code which Di1 companies and
importing companies must observe. In the case of
violations of the code, the companies concerned
'-

shall be prohibited from importing or marketing
oil in the countries of the European Economic
Community.
(f)
resumption of the Euro-Arab dialogue as regards
economic cooperation using the institutional
machinery set up for this purpose and which is
still in force.
The establishment of direct contacts between the EEe
and the oil producing countries should take place
without the participation of the oil companies.
3. Calls on the Commission to draw up a system for organising
the market. guaranteeing transactions and prices ~nd
comprising, in particular, official quotations of the price
of different kinds of oil and the establishment of approved
agencies which would have a monopoly where transactions on
the free market are concerned.

3.
The very heavy reliance of the western economiss on outside soorces
for supplies of hydrocarbons OVer the coming decade.
Although this dependence is diminishing considerably, it eont'nue8
to havs a highly detrimental effect on the balancs of payments of the
Community Member States.
The increasingly active part played by the spot markets.
Set up
originally to promote the availability of hydrocarbons, the Rotterdam
and Genoa spot markets ars contributing to escalating prices and
speculation.
The tensions prevailing on the hydrocarbons markets, arising from the
rsduction in supplies from the OPEC countries or from political events
in the Near and Middle East - mare than two-thirds of the EEC's
supplies of hydrocarbons come frOm the Middle East.
These tensions
are prompting the westorn countrios. and in particular the Member
States, to outbid each other on the markets.

4. ChanSea in the structure of the oil markets.
As far as supply is concerned, the oil exporting countries are tending
to ·organize production! with a view to maintaining terms of trad~
with the industrialized countries.
Quite apart from prlc8s, supplies
are liable to be reduced in the 19B08 owing to a cut-back in oil
production.
_ At the saroe time.
the length of supply contracts is being cut from
three years to one.
Following the example of Iran and Algeria. moet of the OPEC
countriss
want to exercise a measure of control downstream of the production of
the raw material by aligning prices on those charged for refined
producte on the market.
_ Since 1973 independent companies seem to have been monopolizing
supply contracts.
In the face of this tense eituation, which the Member States will
eventually find intolerable, the development of an EEC oil policy is a
prerequisite of a common energy policy.
The
pressnt motion for a resolution has a threefolc objective I

5.
To encourage all member states to appoint someone with
responsibility for the handicapped at governmental level,
either on a regional or national basis.
To calIon member states to formulate policies on housing
both in the public and private sectors which would ensure
disabled persons and thus minimise the necessity to
institutionalise such persons and maximise the opportunities
for full social and economic integration.
TO ensure that all community institutions implement a policy
of positive discrimination by introducing a quota system in
their own employment of handicapped persons and by ensuring
that similar systems operate in the private and public
sectors of each member state with the allocation of
Community resources being made conditional upon the operation
of such a systeRl of positive discrimination for the employment
of such disabled persons.

Note for the members of the SOcialist Group
The Group's relations with the press
Last October a Working Party on Press Affairs was set up under
the authority of the Group's Bureau to take charge of all matters
involving communications and relations with the press.
The working party has already held several meetings at Which
it considered a number of problems relating in particular to the
European parliament's internal communications (mare telephone
booths, better facilities for contacting members in the building,
etc.), facilities for journalists, especially those from radio and
television, who follow Parliament's work, and alsO group publications,
notably a new format for the EUSO
magazine.
As vicechairman
of the Group I am responsible for this working party,
which includes Ann eLWYn, Klaus HANSCH, Johan van MINNEN anc
Ruggero PULETTI.
Those of our colleagues in the Secretariat who
are responsible for the press service also take an active part in
its work.
The working party's most important initiative is the holding
of regular press briefings at the end of Group meetings in Brussels
and on Tuesdays at 11 a.m. during the Strasbourg part-sessions.
These briefings are noW very well attended by journalists, who
appreciate the regularity with which they are held and the
opportunity they provide to obtain rapid and detailed information
regarding the Socialist GrOUp's views on the various matters on
-,J
the agenda.

The Straebourg briefings also provide an opportunity to give
journalists summaries or outlines of statements by the Group's
spokesmen in the various debates.
However, the very success of these briefings raises a number
of problems which the working party haa studied critically and on
which it would like to put forward the following ideas and
proposals:

regarded as meetings.
Normally I chair the briefings, which are conducted by the
members of the Working party on Press Affairs, who agree in advance
on who shoula speak on which subject in order to achieve the
greatest impact.
It is essential to leave matters there and avoid any other
re?etitious state~2nt5 which would a~noy journalists and
prolong the briefing, which, if it is to be wholly effective,
should last no more than 3D to 35 minutes.
After this length of
time journalists begin to leave to attend other meetings or to meet
the deadlines for filing their despatches or articles, and the
briefing ends in disarray.
The Chairman of the Group can, of course, attend
briefings and speak whenever he wishes, either to explain a
particular problem or to answer journalists' questions.
The Working party on Press Affairs has reached these

!~f,
We would ask you, therefore to follow these guidelines and accept
the restraints involved for everyone in the interests of the Group
as ~ whole and its image in the eyes of the press. I am convinced
that our Group has already awakened the interest of journalists
and won a broad measure of sympathy among them.
I hope that we
can do even better, and it is with this in mind that I am sending
you this note. I should like to thank you for your attention and
confidence in the working party.

dJ European Pa~liament Delegation to the US Congress
The Chairman reported that Mrs. Veil had explained to the
American Press the view of the majority of members of the
European Parliament on the issue of Afghanistan. The different
views of the Socialist Group had also been made clear.
The Socialists on the delegation had worked hard to avoid
the adoption of a joint declaration supporting a boycott
of the Olympic Games. Given the political role of the President
of the Parliament her behaviour was not open to
criticism.
e) hdministrative problems for Parliament resulting from the
rejection of the 1980 budget
Various measures had been taken concerning staff missions
and the reduction of payments of expenses to MEPs. Members
would be informed in writing of these decisions. The Chairman
attacked the attempts by the Christian Democratic Group
to press for the continuing payment of all expenses to
members in spite of the rejection of the budget. This issue
had to be treated in a political manner. The Chairman also
st~ted that it might be possible for Group funds to be used
to help individual members who might suffer particular hardship
as result of the present situation. All expenses would
be paid once the 1980 budget had been adopted.

amendment to increase the lRDF appropriation to 1,300 EUAbut it waa
reject.d in committee. The Socialiat members of the committee justified
their aaendm&nt on the grounds that every possible effort must be made to
eliminata the enormou. di.paritie. between the rich and poor region. of
the Community, thia being a serious obstacle to the actual development of
community countriea. I shall return to this problem when dieeuBBing the
re.aan. why the socialiat Group r&jected ths budget proposed by the Council.
The Group Also drew up .pecific proposals for developing a consistent,
coordinated Approach to the problem of unempioyment and it haG stressed
that specific meaeure. muet be tAKen for regions in difficulty.
The Socialist member. of the committee have urged that the following

- economic .nd inauotri8L trend. in the Member States during the 1970s~
the effect of the commOn asriculturel policy On the regions;

This io another sphere of p~rticuler concern to member. Of the
socialiet Group.
I rai.ed this problem at the group'. requa.t at the cut.et, in July
1979, during Plrliament's inaugural debate. [strB8ged then th~t it wa.
important for the community to deviee an energy policy that was more
independent of foreign p~era and of the major undertaking. in thie field.
To thia end I proposed the creation of ~ ~uropean enerqy agency, one of
whoee purpose. would be to supervise the multinational oil companies. and
which should be empowered to negotiate directly with the producer countries
on energy supply,
of the multinationals.
to this proposal.
on nuclear energy the Group's position i. olear: safety ia the prime
concern. Several members of the Group have accordingly tabled written
questions on this sUbject. as well as an oral question with request for
debate. which was held durin~ the February part-seseion.
Faced with the urgent need for the Community to seek alternative
sources of energy so as to rsduce our dependence on the oil-produe'fig
countries, the Group propoeee, Ln the immediate term:
1. Increaaed development of Community ooal produotion~ member. of the Group
have tabled a motion On thi. aUbject:
2~ Practical ffieaaures in the field of energy s~ving8, whieh must derive
not only from recommendations by government. but mare particularly from
Community directives
thus pr.. aerving us from the middleman and the rapacity
with regara to nuclear energy.
Unfortunately the Council has atill not responded
the Group is opposed to giving any
'strong fresh impetus' to nuclear power, e. recommended by the council at
its meeting of 21 and 22 June 1979. until such tims as every possible
safeguard is provided. For it seem. unacceptable to us to embark today
On the conetruotion of certain types of reactors, before even taking note
of the report which the Commis.ion is currently drafting on the accidsnt
at Three Mil. Ielend end its consequence. for the community'. nuclear
power programmes, at the ri.k of having to withdraw them fr.om the market
later if they prove dangerous. The fact that crack. have recently been
di.covsred in lome metal component. of nuclear power reactor. in France
and Belgium prove. how right we Were to say that the problem of .sfaty i.
an urgent priority.

such a report should provide
the opportunity for a critical review of Community policy and for making
prope.all to improve the quelity of life, conserve naturaL reeources and

On the initiatIve of the rapporteur, who is

Any free trade policy must n~ce.sariLy be accompanied by the abolItion
of the numerous barriors to the freo movement of people and goode, which
continue to annoy the gener~1 pubLic. Yet the intereet. of the various
usere of tran.port facilities, at national and international level, have
long been neglected. NationaL salf-in~rest, which flnds expression in
the CounciL of Ministers, and the sometimes resigned attitude of the
commission as a result of many fruitless endeavoure, have so for prevented
a common transport policy worthy of the name from being devised and put
in hand.
The European Socialists, however, have never abandoned the attempt
to arrive at a goneral defiMition of transport poLicy. parLiament has
submitted on several Dccasio~s r~latively comprenensive praposala for a
common transport policy, frequentiy at the suggestion of socialist Members
of Parliament, both on its own initiative and in response to Commission
proposals; these proposaLs were not just a synthesis of transport
legislation in the Member States, but embodied.ncw ideas forming an
integral approach to ths modernization of transport policy in Europe.
It is in this context that ths Committee on Transport of the
directly-elected European ParLiament has begun its work.
Socialiet members of the committee have been partiCUlarLy active.
They have tabled a resolution on problems raised by trans-Alpine traffic.
This wBe the practical outcome of the work of the joint working party
on problems raised by trans-Alpine traffic, which WdB composed of
Socialist Members of the European parliament and members of parliament
from Switzerland and Austria. this resolution shouLd emphasize the
Community'S responsibility in ,elation to third cauntries, which, with
r~qard to goode in transit, havs an important role to pLay in the
develo~nt of the European community.
OM the init1ati~. of socialist Membere, the Committee on Transport
ha. drawn up an opinion on the preLiminary draft general budget of the
8uropean communities for 1980, calling for the Community to provide
appropriations to .upport transport infrastructure project•.
1M addition, as We heve
hearing, we aim to establish
the consumere and worksrs,

Finally, and again at the initiative of the Socialists, the Committee
on Tranlport has invited ths Director-Gensral of Eurocontrol, togsther
with staff and trade union representativee, to consider the situation of

Socialist Group have given clo.e attention to the problems of the
developing countries, not only hecaue. underdevelopment 1. unacceptable
on grounds of Socialist solidarity, hut aleo b~cau8e we are consciou.
that Europe will only be able to contribute effectively to • lastin9

of the world. This i. why the Socialist Group advocates incre.aed
cooperation between Europe .nd the developing countri••. and why tbe
Socialiets call for fair economic and trade relation. with the countries
of the Third world, rathe~ than mere charity.

This was clearly stated by Group spokesmen in the debate on world
hunger. Apart from calling for an increae. in ,food aid and the ehipment
of foodstuffa to the poor countries, we also emphasized that the real
eolution to the problem in the long term would be found in the
establishment of II world economic system which would at last be fair
and enable the developing countries to realize their full potential,
whilst closing the gap between rich and poor countries. The Socialiste
also urged the Community to ensure that its cooperation policy encouraged
the local production of agricultural and other products; for lnet.nce,
local popUlations have a desperate need for food crape and livestock.
This calls for II determined policy by the Community to encourage the
development of small farms in theoe countrieo.
Finally. it waS decided durin9 the debate on world hunqer that a
fundamental report on the ioeue should he drawn up in early 1980. On
the basis of II workin9 programme drafted by the Socialist Group, work
on thie report, notahly in thft form of pUblic ~ear~ngs, is in progress.
Members of the Group are also partiCUlarly concerned with the
problem of Southern Africa and apartheid. A number of written and oral
questions bavs been tabled on this eubject to eneure that the Council
of Ministers adopts a clearer and firmer position in this field.
On Southern Africa it should also be mentioned that the Group
invited Joshua NKOMO to an extensive discussion in Bru•••lo with a
delsgation from the Socialist Group in which he put forward his ideas
for the future of indepsndent and democratiC zimbabwe.

in committees
- the committee agendas ~rc pUblished too late,
certain iasueB are of interest to several committees, which means
that even more coordin~tion is needed to ensure that mernbere of all
thti' committees COncerned know ......ha.t is going on in committees other
thun their own;
a particular political int~re9t attaches to certain repo~ts:
- some committees are handic~pped by inadequate attendance Dn tne part
of the committee secretariat;
- attendance by socialist members ~t committee meetings i~ also ~ome~
times unsatisfactory: this is particularly unfoctunate if there is
a vote;
- because on some committees not all the n~t~o~alities are represented.

met verzoek om urgentverklaring, overeenkomstlg art. 14 van het
Reglement
Betreft
handelsboycot
Het ~uropees Parlement,
- onaanvaardbaar verklarend discrirr.inatie naar ras, geloof of
herkomst;
- Van mening dat Gemeenschap e~ Lie-Staten in beginsel afzijdig
dienen te blijven van economische oorlogvoerin~ tussen
conflictuerende staten;
- constaterend dat bij bepaalde boycot-aktiviteiten zich verschijnselcn
voordoen als niet-Jood-verklaringen, negatieve
goederenverklaringen en verklaringen dat geen betrekkingen
met bepaalde staten worden onderhouden;
- van mening dat vaor het treffen van maatregelen tegen de
aantasting van de interne rec~tsorde van de Gemeenschap en
de Lid-Staten en binnen de Ge~eenschap geldende handelsgebruiken
brede documentatie en informatie naadzakelijk is;
- overwegende dat voor effek:ieve ~aatrege~en een gemeenschapsbeleid
anantbeerlijk is;
1. verzoekt de Commissie zo sp~2dig mogelijk documentatie en informa
tie te verschaffen over voornoernde verschijnselen (bij
voorbeeld die zoals uitgeoefend door het Arabische boycotbUro)
alsmede over de wettel~jke en andere maatregelen die
door de Gemeenschap en de Lid-Staten zijn getroffen tot het
tegengaan van Voornoemde verschijnselen;
.2. besluit am, op basis van de door de Commissie te verschaffen
gegevens, een plenair debat over handelsboycot te houden.
MOTIVERING
De zaak meet grandig aangepakt worden. De Commissie moet daarom
veldoende gelegenheid krijgen gegevens te verzamelen. Diverse
boycotmaatregelen staan immers op qespannen voet met de rechtsorde
zoals die binnen de E.E.G. en de Lid-Staten oeldt.
Er moet daarom haast gemaakt worden met dit onder~oek van de
Europese Commissie.

Note for the attention af members of the Socialist Group
A former member of the Socialist Group, Albert Murray,
recently died at the tragically early age of 50, leaving
a widow and two children aged 12 and 14 to face a serious
financial situation. At no time in his parliamentary
career did Albert hold a parliamentary seat for sufficient
length af time to qualify far any form of pension or
severance payment. Indeed, since losing his seat in the
House of Commons in 1970 he had no regular full-time income.
His widow faces acute financial problems, and we therefore
appeal to you to contribute generously to a fund which is
being organised by the Staup.
Contributions may be given to Paolo Falcone or David Blackman.

"Welcomes the fact that the Commission proposals follow the view
expressed by Parliament with regard to the need to contain
ilgricultural e:,penditure;"
"Considers however that the Conmission proposals do not take
sufficient account of the social and economic repercussions of
the ~easures planned on the small and medium-sized farms and on
the disadvantaged regions of the Community.'
2. Co-~esponsihility levy
The working party supported the idea of an increase in the
co-resDonsihility levy but did not endorse the Co~mission proposal.
The working party proposed a graduated levy as follows;

The working party SUPPorted the idea of a super levy on surplus

for a levy On all production over 99% of 1979 production figures.
The working party agreed that there should be a graded super levy
which had mare impact On countries particUlarly responsible for
prodUCing surpluses. The starting point for the superlevy
as a percentage of 1979 prOduction would be as follows
98% - Denmark, Germany, France, Netherlands
99% - Belgium. UK
100% - Italy, Ireland, Luxembourg and "all backward regions"

The working party supported the Commission's proposals
for sugar.
5. Monetary Compensatory Amounts
The working party supported the Commission's proposals on MCAs.
6. Prices
The working party did not make any proposal in figures concerning
the overall level of price increases which should be agreed to
in the price review. The working party was evenly divided between
those supporting an amendment fro~ Klaus Wettig and those suppDrtin~
an amendment from Eisso Woltjer. They have now agreed, at the
request of the working party, to a joint proposal put forward by
Rudi Arndt. This reads as follows;
"The working party is against Parliament filing a specific figure
for agricultural prices. It is for the following principles,
which the Commission and the Council must respect When fixing
agricul tura] prices:
1. The income of small and medium-sized farmers should not get
seriously out of step with incomes in other sectors of the economy.

relatione department of the HungBrt~n Parliament, OOzker S.urovszky

Posts, Gyorgy Onozo
Talks with th.., German charg

connected with the expected completion of tho
Main-Danube canal in the mid-1980's were a180 di 8sed. scu
The probl~~e
Both Sides agreed that the canal was a national waterway completely
under the sovereignty of the federal RepUblic of Germany. BI~ and
multilateral negotiatIons should enable all intcre8ted 8tates to enjoy
considerable freedom in the matter of transport policy,
4. Talks in Hunqa£l
The main topie of the talks in BUdape.t was the M~ln-D.nute
canal.
The Hungarian delegation referred to the increaSIngly re.trictive
attitude of the Community and the Merrber States tOwards free USe of
impOrtant inland waterways such 8Sthe RhIne and the DanUbe, These
were both international waterways on which there should be no
restrictions to tr8ffic.
Horst Seefeld pOinted out that the federal Republic of Germany
was not a member of the lnter"ational convention On the Danube and that
in terms of GerllIdn law the Main-Danube canal was a national waterway,
they were. of Caurse, prepared through bilateral ar multilateral
negotiations to achieve the maXimum POSSible freedom in international
inland shipping.
In the gener"l discussion, bath sides expressed all interest
in improved cooperatior. .n transport policy alld in exchange of
information, as there wera numerous common and similar problems
le.g.
transport poltcy in relation to envlronmental and e"ergy poltey, local
public transport problems, the rene~ad impertance 0: the railways, etc.l.
5. Conclusions
The talks an transport policy in Austria and Hungary can be
described as very useful. Austria no longer wished to be treated as
the co~~unitY'5 'step child' but in a manner appropriate to its important
trading and transit role. Austria was fUlly aware of lts relative
importance, which has increased somewhat thro~9h the accession of Greece
and the EEC-YUgoslavia agreement. Tha Community should therefore not
neglect this impOrtant neighbour,
With the eXCeption of the Main-DanUbe canal question transport
pelicy relations ~ith Hungary arO relatively unproblematical. but
Hungary has to s~Opt " stance which i. strongly influenced by Soviet
interests.

As in tho Community's q&neral POlitical relationa with ~ungary,
transport rolation~ are heavily aep&ndent on EEC-CO~CON relations
and any contractual agreements between the two organi2stions.
During the preparations for the CSC~ foll~w-up conference in
Madrid, particular attention shouid be paid to transport polioy. The
Socialist Group should continue to strengthen its contact. with the
Community's neighbour states.

1. Community coal must make a substantial contribution to energy supply.
The mining industry's capacity ohould be expanded to a level of
250-300 m TeE. Thia i. not an unrealistic target in view of the
large coal reserve. in the community.
2. A sufficient supply of menpowar must be enlUred by generoua training
prOgrammes and social benefit I in the mining industry. In view of
the diffiCUlt and dangeroue nature or the miner's jOb the Socialiet
Group is fUlly aware that speciel aocl,l measures are eeeentiei

3. Financial and technical meaSUre. designed to maintain the production
capacity that will be needed in the long term and to ensure there
is a market for the coal produced. shOUld be supported by Community
funds. The construction of new mines should receive speciai assistance.

Motion for u resolution
pUr!'lllllnt to RUlo 25 of the Rules of Proc(!dul:"c
tabled by
Jean OEHLER
on reforming the Operational machinery of
financial instruments, action plans and 9110t progra~nes.
Tho European Parliamont;
- whereas there are constant delays in launching and implementing
a large number of projects and programmes in the Member States
which receive Communi.ty aid,
- concerned at the inadequacy of the procedures for making
Cowmunity appropriations available,
- worried by the delays in the payment of appropriations granted.
- notins; the confusion between national funds and Community
funds,
which in some cases is quite inacceptable and whicl,
often leads to a reduction in or even the withdrawal of
national aid,
- aware of the real inadequacies and problems in the supervision
by ti,e Commission of the use of Community resources I
1. Believes that it is necessary to review the operati~g machinery
of Community financial instr.uments, action p1~ns and pilot
!.Jrogrammas in order to :uake Community activiti8s 1:10re transparent
and at the same time more effective and better publicized;
2. Calls on the commission to examine this whole problcm and to
put forward pr.oposals for suitable rules as soon as possible:
3. Instructs the Committee on BUdgetary Control to monitor the
Commission's efforts in this direction.

Suhj~ct,
The presence of Members' assistants at meetings of the Group
To prevent persons other than those invited by the Group and assistants

al~ persons who do not possess a pasa signed by the Secretary-General will
be refused admittance to the meeting room.

Subject , OPERATION OF THE SOCIALIST GROUP AND ITS VARlOUS BODIES
Dear Comrades,
The organization and operation of the SOcialist Group are gover~ed
by two basic texts ,
- the Rule" of Procedure_ and
- the Standing Orders for Group Meetings.
The Rules of Procedure are thos" of the former Socialist Group
(PE/Gs/75/77~ which the group adopted on July 1979 on a provisional basis
pending possible Updating.
The Standing Orders for Group Meetings (PE/GS/149/79), were adopted
by the group in October 1979.
In addition to these t~~ b~sic texts. the group took a nu~ber of
procedural deelsions, particularly at its meeting in arussels~ on 5 March
1980. All these provisions are summarized below.

submitted to the group meeting in the week preCeding the partaession.

TheBe questions that you ask are reason"ble if they are asked to both sides,
not only to us. The others aro rcf~sing, and nobody is saying anythin~ about
that. Maybe you talk to them indoors but you talk about us in the prass.
Again I would like to make it very clear that the fact of recognition exists.
The legal recognition w~ll Corne after we solve the problelns together in
n~otlation between the two states cnder the flag of thPo United Nations. And
the 1dea of reuniting Palestine will be Without violence and th.ou~h peaceful
~nd dcmoeratic means.
"We are very sure of th~ futuro because the r.ew qfneratlon r.ow is aski~9 tor

public who have been supporting our ideas, And we have adopted a resolution
in the F.N.C. to have a diaiogue with ali those lsraeii democrats who believe i~
the right of the Palestinians to self-determination and La have an independe~~

De Socialistische Fractie herlnnert aan de reBolutie die zij
De
fractie betreurt dat de regering Carter zander enige overleg
met de EG-partners tot gewelddadige actie i8 ovecgegaan. De
socialiatische Fractie meent dat in het belang van de gijzelaars
en van de wereldvrede alle verdere escalatie moet worden vermeden.
De fractie waardeert de terughouding die de Europese ministers
van Buitenlandse Zaken tot nu toe in deze zaak hebben gedemonstreerd.
april jl. aan het Europese Parle~nt heeft voorgelegd, waarin
zij nadrukkelijk de 8chending van het valkenrecht veroordeelt
die in Iran plaatsvindt door het in gijzeling houden van ambassadepersoneel.
Economische maatregelen, zoals die door de ministers in het
vooruitzicht zijn gesteld, worden door onze fractie in principe
niet afgewezen;" wij menen echter dat, alvorens daartoe te besluiten
~orgvuldig moet worden afgewogen wat de politieke en economische
2ffecten van zulke maatreg e1en zijn.
De Fractie vreest dat in de huidige politieke omstandigheden
boycot-maatreg e1en
-en het verbreken van diplomatieke b~trekkingen
de reeds geescaleerde situatie slechts zouden verergeren.
Het politieke effect van een economische hoyt zou imroerS in
plaats van de bereidheid tot gesprek bij de Iranese autoriteiten
te vergroten, waarschijnlijk eerder tot meer confrontatie Ieiden.
Iran op andere politieke machten
Een sterkere orientering van
de USSR, zou weI eens het nieten
op andere handeismarkten, o.a.
beoogde resultaat kunnen zijn.
Het Europe se
Parlement zou naar onze mening zelf een bijdragE

Tuesday, 13 May 1980 - 3,00 p.m~
Chairman:
GLrNNE and ARNDT (from Item 3.a)
1. Agenda
The chairma~ informed the meeting that an exchange Of vie~s ~lth
~~p~:~e~~~tlves of the Israeli Socialist Party would take place
It~m 5 was postponed as the auditor was not present and no
wrItten report had been presented.
The agenda was adopted with those changes.
2. ITEM 3 : Report by the chairman on the work done by the 3u(e~u
a) ~~~!i~g_Qf_!~~_~~r~~~_~~.~~~~~~
The chairman reported on the talks between the Bureau of the
PASOK, represented by Andre PAPANOREDU and other
members of the bureau of th~ Greek Socialist Party. The
desirability for close cooperation was underlined by both
sides. In a few weeks the competent body of PASOK ~dll ratify
application for membership of the Socialist of the European
Parliament; this decision follows the official demand for
~embership. An exchange of information is to begin a~ soon
as possible. From September 1, 1980, an A post and a·C past
in the Group secretariat will be made available to the PASOK.
In the context of this information, the possible political
problems arising from th~ entry of the PASOK members into
the Socialist Group were discussed. On a proposal from .
SEEFELD, van den HEUVEL and CASTLE the Group decided by a
large majority, that before the official demand for memb~rship
was made contacts with the PASOK should be contInued; a
written ;eport by the Bureau on the meetings in Athens should
be issued; and a comprehensive debate of the Gr?u~ should be
held before any statements were published or dec1510ns taken
relating to the question.

PE/aSlln/80
Motion tor 4 rosolution
purSUant to Rule 14
on the prosent crisia in the EEC
The European Parliament:
- having regard to the Treaties of Paris and Rome,
- having regard to the crisis through which the EEC is currently passing,
1. Invites the Council of Ministers to take immediately the
appropriate steps to resolve this crisis, i.e:
- to adopt an increase,in agricultural producer prices for
the 1980/19~1 market~ng year which guarantees to European
farmers,an ~ncome,comparable to those of other professional
categorles, as la~d down in the agreements which resulted in
the settin9 up of the Common AgriCUltural PolicY7
- to propose to the European Parliament a new draft budget for
1980 as from the June 1980 part-session so that the system
of prOVisional twelfths currently in force no longer impedes
the functioning of the Community and, so that. moreover, the
European Parliament may exercise the rights conferred on it
by the Treaties and the budget agreements of 1970 and 1975;
- to demand from the Commission specific proposals that will
permit new developments in common policies, haVing regard,
in particular in the fields of regional, social, industrial
and agricultural policy, to the specific economic situation
of each State of the European Community and the aspects to
which each accords greater priority;
- to provide, in this context, an answer to the demands of the
United Kingdom, without allowing the perpetuation of a system
of bargaining, which would rapidly transform the Community
into a mere cooperative arrangement between states ,and would
accentuate the exclusively free-trade aspect of th~s Europe.
whose lack of resolve is but a symptom of its lack of identity.
:~.i
Reason for urgency: The Community must n~t let matters stand following
the failure of the European Council meet~ng ~n Luxembourg on 27 and
28 April The European Parliament must brlng pressure to be~r on the
Council ~f Ministers to resolve this crisis as soon as poss~ble.

Note for t~. ,ttentlon of the members of the Soci.ljlt Grovp
Sv~mlry report of the meeting of the Working P,rty on E.orgy
on 21st Hay 1980 In Strlshourg.
Hr. ~lnkohr opened the meeting which, he suggested,shovld consider the
setting up of ~ series of sm~ll study groups to deal wIth specifIc aspectS
of energy policy, and should hold ~ general discussion of his docu.ent
(PE/GS/71/S0).
He also noted that the Confederation of the Soci~list P'rtles proposed to
hold an energy seminar in the autumn to which Spanish and Portuguese
comrades would be in~lted,.and t~at Mr. ~~for~t and Hr. Gupwell were In
the process of preparing ~ synthesis of the energy policy positions of the
~arious parties.
Mr. Linde said that the Linkohr document should be discussed within the
national party delegations of the Gro~p. Mrs. Vlehoff and Mn. Groes "ked
why the amendments which h~d been submitted by MrS. Groes ~ad not been
ineluded h t~e dossierS. Mr. Linkohr said th~t .t this stage it was only
possible to have a general discussion of the document anc that before any
fln.' text could be SUbmitted to the Group, there would ha~e to ~e feedback
from the parties. Mr. Gupwell ad~ed that se~er.l Members had indic.ted
that they wis~ed to see substantial changes to the LinNohr document
a~d that, in view of this, it had been decided that this meeting would not
consider any detailed amendments to the text. MrS. Groes nevertheless
insisted that the nuclear issue would have to be clarified while Mr. Rogers
said that, in this respect, it would be, necessary to have a basic political
decisionlli~doubted whether a fiul document could be ready 1n July
and that a longer discussion was necessary. and Mrs. Weher said that the
~orking Party should be under no pressure of time.
Hr. Toornstra stated that the Confederation would be,'representedat the
Group meeting in Bochum in July by which time the analysis of the P~rties'
positions would have been prepared. The Parties would then ,lIake comments
on ,the Group's document over the summer and the Confederation's semid
take place in ~ondon in Dctober.
agreed that all amendments ,received would be translated
by the secretarjat.

Hr. Adam s~99tlted that the WOrking Plrt~ should ~.9In b~ I'kj~, 'n
Inalyll, or the world ener9~ sltuetlon In the ~.'r ZOOO. Th. {urop',n
Com.~nlty situation had to be 1.ln In that cont.~t end 'Olp,red for .~••pll
with that of the United Stites Ind India al r'g.rds Inerpy contulptlon.
It could be .'Sumed th.t 011 Ind gls would be 11ss 6~llllbl. then .t pr'sent.
If n~cTelr energ~ were 1~llllble. coal could be used for I~"th'tl, all ,n4
gas but. If not,lll the coal wo~rd be needed for POwer st.tions and Ihort,g,s
develop In the transport sector. It could alsc be .11.I.d that the
wo~ld
Comm~nlty's e~ternal supplies would become Increlsingly vulnerable 'nd th't
I greater reliance should be placed on Indigenous .upplles. Energy .fflcl,ncy
was Important and technology .hould be used to Improve efficiency while, at
the same time, creating jobs. New tran,port ~Yltems were neede4. Ke preferad
to ba~e the policy on effiClen,y rather than prl,lng by, for eXI.pll,
imposing penalties on Inefficiency.
Hr, Muntingh Said that the Working Party ,ou1d either dt.cuss energy In a
general way or plan for the future. It lollS neCesllry to 100~ far beyond
2000. All energy sources were finite but there were other reason. for saring
energy. If.for example, all the coal In England were to be dug ~p, then this
would spo1T nature. as wo~ld be the case In the e.ent of In 011 411••ter
such IS occured off the coast of Medco. It was necessary for Soclalfsts
to discuss the kind of society which they wanted. As regar4s Euro-Arab
relations, Saudi Arable, for example. wanted a transfer of technology
rather than more money. He belie.ed that I crash progra.ee of nuclear energy
should be opposed on economic grounds (amongst other things) 1n view of the
enormous investments required. To prevent proliferation, e.~orts of nuclear
equipment should be .topped. Energy saving was necessary particularly in
industry and tll.re should be a harmonisation Of fiscal and pricing polfcy.
Hr. Rogers said that one should not a.sume that econOffilC growth required an
equal growth in energy con~umption. The Working Party had to decide whether
a common Community energy pblicy should be developed, or rather a strategy
of positive cooperation between the Hember States, or Whether each country
should develop its own policy. He considered that they should not produce
natiOnll policies. but a Joint socialist policy. Various energy scenarios
should be examined.
Mrs. ROWdY felt that it would be very ambitious to att""'pt to develop a common
energy policy but that the Working Party should not shy away from this taSk.
The hatlonal situations were very different (for example, as regards coal
resources) such that attitudes were bound to be different. The approlch
contafned In the St. Geours report should be considered Ind as much
emRhasis should be put on anergy saving as on coal.
