Der ligger et "trimnings-arbejde" forude, så vi kan forbedre forfatningsteksten.
Six years ago you were elected the eighth President of Ireland.
Konventets forfatningsudkast er arbejdsgrundlag, og der må ikke vendes op og ned på dette udkast.
Your election was the ultimate symbol of the healing and reconciliation that was taking place between divided communities in Ireland.
Det italienske formandskab tilstræber ikke en "discount-løsning" , men derimod en "ædel" løsning.
The theme of your Presidency "Building Bridges" between traditions, cultures, communities and most of all between people was not an abstract theme.
Antonione håbede, at stats- og regeringscheferne den 12.-13. december i Rom vil kunne enes om et EU, som hænger bedre sammen, og som er solidarisk.
In the course of the last six years you have demonstrated the benefits of partnership and connection.
"Chokket fra Nice" Den tyske EU-udvidelseskommissær Günter VERHEUGEN pegede på, at det ikke kan være normalt, at man under regeringskonferencen får flere spørgsmål end løsninger på hvert nyt møde.
It is this ability to connect that has served Ireland so well.
Men regeringskonferencen går nu ind i en afgørende fase.
Thirty years ago we as Irish people began our journey from the edge to the heart of Europe.
Konventets kompromis skal bevares , og det må ikke ødelægges af tovtrækkeriet mellem medlemslandene.
We left behind isolation and stagnation to embrace openness and connection as the foundation of our prosperity.
Det var jo netop "chokket fra Nice" , der gjorde, at man oprettede Konventet til at udarbejde et forfatningsudkast.
This transition afforded opportunity to a new generation of Irish people that previously was only available to our substantial emigrant population.
Efter Nice - i december 2000 - var selv stats- og regeringscheferne forskrækkede over resultatet af de nattelange forhandlinger.
I hope the President will not object if I quote back to her, part of a speech she made in the United States in May of this year - words which sum up very well, the positives of Ireland's European experience.
Nice-traktaten gjorde det muligt at udvide EU med 10 nye medlemslande den 1. maj 2004, men Nice er ikke tilstrækkeligt til, at det udvidede EU kan arbejde og fungere.
You said then: " The little impoverished island off the West coast of Europe which became an unremarkable member of the European Union thirty years ago, has become the symbol of the Union’s potential, the place with the economic success story that everywhere else wants to imitate.
Derfor er det nu nødvendigt med en ny politisk aftale for at EU kan fungere efter udvidelsen.
The country that up to thirty-five years ago offered the liberating key of education only to a small elite has felt the surging energy of its greatest natural resource - the genius of its own people - empowered through widened access to education.
Han skal dels have mandat fra Rådet, og dels med fuld stemmeret være næstformand i Kommissionen.
We in the European Parliament have worked diligently on the construction phase.
Det vil give ham en dobbelt legitimitet!
We are proud of our work.
Endvidere skal vi have en forenkling af proceduren for traktatændringer og undgå et "institutionelt korset", som hurtigt bliver for snævert.
We are confident that under the leadership of the Irish Presidency we will celebrate the fruits of that labour". ---------
Misforståelser i Polen Verheugen pegede på, at det ikke er nemt for regeringerne og parlamenterne i de 10 nye medlemslande at forklare, at Nice-traktaten var gældende i forbindelse med EU-folkeafstemningerne om EU-medlemskab, men at man nu forhandler om et helt andet grundlag for EU, nemlig Konventets forfatningsudkast.
Opening her remarks to the formal sitting, President McAleese stated that it was a privilege to address the House at what is a remarkable juncture in the evolution of the European Union.
Han pegede på, at der i Polen var opstået misforståelser om landenes forhold til hinanden.
In Irish, the President stated (TRANSLATION) "It is a particular honour for me to have this opportunity to speak to the European Parliament.
Men alle lande i EU er fuldstændigt lige - også Polen!
This Institution's authority comes from the citizens of Europe and it has therefore a special place in the heart of the Union.
Det er vigtigt, at også polakkerne forstår dette, for forfatningstraktaten skal jo ratificeres i alle 25 lande.
I am keenly aware that the members of this body are working diligently and with commitment to build a strong Europe.
Effektivitet, demokrati og gennemskuelighed!
I take great courage from the firm and resolute stand of the Parliament on behalf of the people of Europe."
Den tyske CDU'er Elmar BROK - der er en af EP's 2 repræsentanter på regeringskonferencen - talte på vegne af PPE-gruppen, og han understregede, at udenrigsministermødet i går i Bruxelles havde vist, at det er muligt at nå til en afslutning af regeringskonferencen i december i Rom.
She then recalled that Ireland assumes the Presidency of the Union next January and stated she would briefly address some of the major agenda items that will feature during Ireland’s Presidency.
Han bad det italienske EU-formandskab om at holde fast i sin kurs og nå frem til en forfatningstekst med balance mellem de forskellige holdninger.
The President continued by saying that "I take a special pride in the fact that we have two Irish Presidents in this chamber today; but perhaps more important than our shared nationality is the continuing re-assurance to small nations which your election, Mr President brings - the re-assurance that our European Union truly respects, in its practices, the principles of equality and merit.
Men man bør huske på, at der altid er nogen, der vil stikke en kæp i hjulet.
I should also say that your term in office has been widely admired, and nowhere more than in our native home....
Elmar Brok understregede, at der ikke kan pilles ved EP's budgetbeføjelser , at der er manglende gennemskuelighed i det lovgivende Råd, og at både EP's og Ministerrådets møder bør foregå i offentlighed .
As the directly elected representatives of the Union’s citizens you are particularly well qualified to inform the debate on bringing Europe closer to the citizens, an issue which has taken centre stage and which will form a special focus for the Irish Presidency. "
Nu kommer man til spørgsmålet om magt, og det er klart at spørgsmålet om stemmevægte i Ministerrådet og Kommissionens sammensætning først vil blive løst af stats- og regeringscheferne den sidste nat.
The President stated that relations with Ireland's nearest neighbours in Britain, have "never been better and our standing in Europe and beyond is one of which we can be proud".
Men med hensyn til "dobbelt flertal" i Rådet må de 60 % ikke ændres til 66 % som minimumsgrænse for hvor mange % medlemslandene skal repræsentere.
The most important moment in Ireland’s Presidency will, of course, be the formal accession of ten new Member States on 1 May 2004.
I den forbindelse må Polen gøre sig klart, at stemmevægtene fra Nice-traktaten ikke dur i et udvidet EU.
The President quoted Vaclav Havel ”history has thrown down a gauntlet - we can, if we wish, pick up.
Effektivitet må være kodeordet - sammen med demokrati og gennemskuelighed, sluttede Elmar Brok .
If we do not do so, a great opportunity to create a continent of free and peaceful cooperation may be lost”.
Formanden for den socialistiske gruppe, spanieren Enrique BARÓN var glad for, at det italienske EU-formandskab ikke ønsker, at der pilles ved Konventets tekst.
The President continued by stating "the enlargement process does not conclude on 1 May 2004.
Barón understregede, at hverken EP's lovgivnings- eller budgetbeføjelser må svækkes, og principperne i del I og II skal afspejles i del III, hvor man beskriver EU's politikker.
In addition, the Irish Presidency will monitor closely developments with Turkey, in advance of the key decision on opening negotiations to be taken in December 2004."
Han mente, at Ecofin-Rådet styrer det Europæiske Råd, men traktaten må ikke ændres via budgettet.
The draft text produced by the Convention is a huge step forward in this regard.
Vi sagde i sin tid "ja" til Nice-traktaten fordi vi ønskede udvidelsen med de nye medlemslande, men vi bryder os ikke om Nice-traktaten .
Naturally, however, a number of questions remain to be fully debated and finally resolved, including the issue of a reference to God in the preamble to the new Treaty.
Den franske GUE'er Francis WURTZ pegede også på, at vi nu nærmer os afslutningen på regeringskonferencen, og det er ikke småting, der drøftes, fx. beføjelser, national identitet, og om hvordan man undgår at låse sig fast (forenkling af proceduren for traktatændringer).
Ireland is also a special bridge to the developing countries, adopted homelands for the thousands of Irish nurses, doctors, teachers, missionaries and aid workers who have made common cause for generations with the poorest of the poor.
Wurtz understregede, at vi ikke må lukke øjnene for, at nej-siden kan sejre ved den kommende folkeafstemning i Frankrig om forfatningstraktaten.
Turning to matters closer to home, President McAleese pointed out that "the recent conflicts in Yugoslavia and in Northern Ireland and the relentless misery of the Middle East should keep us humble and alert to the dangers that still lurk on or close to our own doorsteps.
Den hollandske grønne Kathalijne BUITENWEG mindede om, at Konventet var blevet oprettet, fordi stats- og regeringscheferne ikke havde kunnet løse problemerne ordentligt i Nice i december 2000.
We Europeans must ensure that inside each of our nations and between our twenty five nations, our children are taught respect for others so that they can grow up completely at home, comfortable, in a world of difference and diversity- an example to the rest of the world."
Hun tog afstand fra Ecofin-Rådets kupagtige forsøg på at beskære EP's budgetbeføjelser, idet disse budgetbeføjelser er en demokratisk garanti.
The President then paid a warm tribute to the vision and courage of John HUME (PES, Northern Ireland) who she said has "been a tireless and persuasive advocate of the European model and he was, without a shadow of doubt, a key architect of the Good Friday Agreement."
Og EP's lovgivningsbeføjelser må ikke undermineres eller udhules gennem en reduktion af EP's budgetbeføjelser, fastslog Buitenweg.
In conclusion, the President remarked that "it is a piece of some symbolic symmetry that Ireland, the most westerly member of the Union, will preside over this great embrace of the east.
Ireren Gerard COLLINS fra UEN-gruppen fastslog, at Konventets traktatudkast er et godt grundlag for det fremtidige EU.
It is also, I believe, further fitting proof of how the interests of each of us are so closely intertwined and so important to nurture in common cause.
I øjeblikket diskuterer man institutionelle ændringer, og her er det vigtigt, at alle medlemslande har en kommissær med fuld stemmeret.
There is a saying in the Irish language ”Ni neart go cur le chéile” - our strength is in partnership.
Tyskland overrepræsenteret?
It could be the motto of the European Union.
Den franske EDD'er William ABITBOL fandt det uheldigt, at EP's 2 repræsentanter på regeringskonferencen er fra samme land - nemlig Tyskland.
Its truth has been revealed many times over since the Union was founded and nowhere is its truth more evident than in my own country.
Og Tyskland er også overrepræsenteret i Europa-Parlamentet, hvilket er en af de farlige konsekvenser af Nice-traktaten.
Now a new generation, probably the most privileged ever to inhabit this continent will have a chance to see what great strength is created when fifteen becomes twenty five, when the restless energy of a half a billion people, working with each other and for each other, is harnessed to the task of writing Europe’s best and happiest chapter yet.
Anslag mod demokratiet!
Peter LIESE (EPP-ED, D)
Anne E. JENSEN fra Venstre erindrede om EU's "demokratiske underskud" , hvor beslutningerne træffes bag lukkede døre og uden politisk indflydelse til borgerne.
Report on the proposal for a Council decision amending decision 2002/834/EC on the specific programme for research, technological development and demonstration: ”Integrating and strengthening the European research area” (2002-2006)
Finansministrene foreslår nemlig at koble EP fra budgetproceduren, og det er et pinligt anslag mod demokratiet .
In a highly charged and emotional vote today, Parliament adopted a non-binding resolution with 300 votes in favour, 210 against and 19 abstentions in favour of amending a Commission proposal on a set of strict ethical guidelines for deciding on and monitoring EU funding of research involving the derivation of embryonic stem cells from human supernumerary embryos.
I dag har EP indflydelse på både budgettet og finansperspektiverne.
Most MEPs supported allowing research to be financed from the EU's sixth framework programme budget (2002-2006), albeit under tight ethical conditions.
Hun bad i den forbindelse den danske regering om at dementere, at man støtter finansministrenes forslag.
All of the amendments tabled to plenary seeking to impose even stricter conditions on the use of stem cell research were rejected.
Anne E. Jensen sluttede med at fastslå, at det er Danmarks holdning, at Europa-Parlamentet skal have større indflydelse på budgettet - ikke mindre!
Speaking immediately prior to the final votes, Mr Peter LIESE (EPP-ED, D) stated that he had failed to persuade his colleagues to agree a " compromise position " and he advised voting against the legislative resolution.
Formanden for EP, ireren Pat COX bød den irske præsident Mary McALEESE velkommen, idet han understregede, at det var en særlig glæde for ham (som irsk-europæer) at kunne præsentere hende for EP.
Stem cell research raises ethical questions, particularly when it involves the use of embryonic stem cells derived from human supernumerary embryos (see News Report 25-04-2003) There is a great diversity of views among EU Member States concerning the ethical acceptability of various research fields.
Den irske præsident var ligeledes beæret over at tale til EP, og hun gjorde i sin tale meget ud af, at understrege EU-medlemsskabets betydning for Irland - såvel da landet for 30 år siden blev medlemmer af EF, som i dag, hvor den positive effekt afspejles overalt i det irske samfund.
Scientists are hopeful that stem cell research will provide essential progress in the development of therapies in several fields of medicine.
Hun fremlagde nogle få overordnede prioriteter for det kommende irske formandskab, herunder
First, it calls for the scrapping of any cut-off date for the procurement of human embryos used for the procurement of stem cells.
Den formelle tiltrædelse af 10 nye lande i maj 2004 , hvilken hun betegnede som et mirakel og den største udfordring for det irske formandskab.
The Commission had proposed that EU funded research may only use existing human supernumerary embryos that were created before 27 June 2002, the date of adoption by Parliament and Council of the sixth framework programme.
Endvidere understregede McAleese, at det irske formandskab vil påbegynde de egentlige tiltrædelsesforhandlinger med Bulgarien og Rumænien med henblik på, at de kan optages i 2007.
MEPs also say that whether or not to allow funding of research on the use of human stem cells should depend both on the contents of the scientific proposal and the legal framework of the Member States involved.
Udviklingen i Tyrkiet vil ligeledes blive fulgt nøje af det irske formandskab.
However, MEPs voted in favour of maintaining the Commission's proposal that all other alternative methods (including existing or adult stem cell lines) must have been examined and demonstrated not to be sufficient for the purposes of the research in question.
Hun sagde, at det var en udsøgt ære for Irland, at udvidelsen krones under landets formandskab.
In addition, research on embryo or foetal stem cells deriving from spontaneous or therapeutic abortion may be funded.
Forfatningstraktaten betegnede McAleese som et "friskt pust", men sagde samtidig, at Irland gerne ser en henvisning til den fælles kristne kulturarv i teksten.
MEPs insist that no monetary compensation or any other consideration may be granted or promised for the donation of embryos used for the recovery of stem cells.
EU's globale rolle gjorde McAleese en del ud af, og hun fremhævede, at EU-25 vil være en endnu stærkere global faktor end EU-15 er i dag.
In order to ensure transparency in EU funding of research activities involving human adult or embryonic stem cells, the Commission will publish yearly a list of research projects involving the use of human embryonic stem cells funded under the sixth framework programme.
Hun lagde vægt på, at bygge broer til USA, at indgå endnu flere multi- og bilaterale aftaler (særligt med udviklingslandene), og herunder understregede hun, at EU's bestræbelser på at bekæmpe fattigdom skal være målrettet imod fattigdomsreduktion og ikke blot "fattigdomsforvaltning".
Parliament adds that in the case of research projects with embryonic stem cells, such publication must include a justification stating why other procedures were not usable.
Ligeledes kritiserede hun visse (ikke navngivne) rige landes utilstrækkelige bidrag til udviklingshjælp til den tredje verden.

EU-"naboskabs-politik":Ny ramme for EU's nye naboer
New European Agency for Network and Information Security
Ordfører: Pasqualina NAPOLETANO (PSE, I)
Reino PAASILINNA (PES, FIN)
Procedure: Den ikke-lovgivningssmæssige procedure
Procedure : Co-decision (1st reading)
Globalisering I en betænkning af den italienske socialist Pasqualina NAPOLETANO fastslår EP's udenrigsudvalg, at det udvidede EU's nye grænser bør ses som en positiv mulighed for de berørte lande og regioner til at opbygge et netværk af uddybede relationer .
The amendments adopted today focus on the tasks of the new agency, the operational structure of the new Agency, the initial evaluation of the Agency’s work and the seat of the agency.
Det bør være EU's opgave at udvikle et omfattende og effektivt naboskab, som kan løse de problemer globaliseringen og den tiltagende indbyrdes afhængighed stiller os over for.
The adoption of the compromise amendments by MEPs today will allow the regulation to be adopted at first reading and thus within the term of this Parliament.
Multilateralisme EP's udenrigsudvalg understreger, at de nye trusler mod global sikkerhed, som kommer fra terrorisme, regionale og etnisk-religiøse konflikter og ekstreme fundamentalistiske s trømninger kræver en øget evne til at tage højde for disse problemer på basis af en effektiv og demokratisk multilateralisme .
The European Network and Information Security Agency has the task of contributing to a high level of network and information security within the Community and of developing a culture of network and information security for the benefit of citizens, consumers, businesses and public sector organisations in the European Union, thus contributing to the proper functioning of the internal market.
Under fremlæggelsen af sin betænkning sagde Pasqualina Napolitano, at fælles sikkerhed er udgangspunktet for vore relationer til EU's nye nabolande.
The Agency’s budget is €24.3 million for a first period running from 1 January 2004 until 31 December 2008.
Forholdet til Rusland kan ikke udtømmes inden for et "naboskabs-forhold", men Tjetjenien-problemet sætter en stopper for videreudvikling af samarbejdet med Rusland.
The compromise amendments agreed by the House today set out that the Agency will comprise (a) a Management Board; (b) an Executive Director, and (c) a Permanent Stakeholders Group.
Målet er et niveau under EU-medlemskab, og der skal vi udnytte potentialet fuldt ud på bl.a. følgende områder:
He/she will be appointed after an open competition.
Han understregede, at udvidelsen af EU ikke må skabe nye grænser i Europa, og at vi ikke blot må flytte Jerntæppet 200 km længere østpå.
Moreover, MEPs emphasise that the Agency should pay attention to small and medium sized enterprises.
Verheugen sluttede med at fastslå, at vi bør være stolte af, at vi for første gang har en forestilling om, hvordan EU skal se ud - og om samarbejdet med vore naboer.
On the basis of an evaluation of the working practices and the impact of the Agency it should be decided whether the Agency should continue its work beyond 2008.
Et "klient-system" vil ødelægge EU - vi har simpelthen ikke råd til det!
(Statement annexed to the Council minutes).
Elmar Brok pegede på, at nogle lande ønsker EU-medlemskab, men de vil ikke være klar de første 10 år.
Report on the proposal for a Council regulation on establishing a system for the identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals and amending Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92
Herunder sagde Antonione, at den kommende handlingsplan for den nordiske dimension (2004-2006) vil fortsætte linien fra den nuværende handlingsplan , der udløber i slutningen af indeværende år.
Parliament adopted a non-binding draft resolution with 516 votes in favour, 6 against, and 9 abstentions on the identification and registration of sheep and goats.
Målsætningen er bl.a., at styrke forholdet til Rusland , få afklaret spørgsmålet omkring Kaliningrad samt at styrke det arktiske område, såvel økonomisk, socialt og kulturelt.
The Commission proposal requires all sheep and goats born in the Community after 1 July 2003 to be double-tagged with tags bearing a unique identification number, at the latest before they are one month old.
Udvidelsen og den nordiske dimension I lighed med Antonione, sagde EU's udvidelseskommissær tyskeren Günther VERHEUGEN , at udvidelsen får stor betydning for den nordiske dimension.
Member States, say the Commission, can derogate from these requirements with an extension of up to six months for the tagging of animals reared extensively.
Han fremhævede ligeledes forholdet til Rusland, som en af hjørnestenene i den nordiske dimension.
However, Parliament in its non-binding amendments introduced the date of 1 July 2005 for double tagging as well a possible derogation from the proposal for up to nine months.
Endvidere vil man med den nye handlingsplan (2004-2006) arbejde for en bæredygtig udvikling i det arktiske område.
Speaking prior to the vote in the House today, Gordon ADAM (PES, North East) stated that the Council, under the Italian Presidency, held a similar position to that of the Agriculture Committee and expected the proposal to be adopted before the end of the year.
Verheugen fremlagde en række resultater opnået hidtil i forbindelse med den nordiske dimension, herunder bl.a.
The proposal requires keepers of sheep and goats to keep an up-to-date register showing details of their holding and the number of animals they keep.
IIkka SUOMINEN (PPE-DE, FIN) sagde under ordførerrunden (der i øvrigt var totalt domineret af finske MEP'er), at begrebet den nordiske dimension er blevet udvandet .
The proposal requires detailed records to be kept of animal movements, including the individual tag numbers.
Hermed mente han, at handlingsplanen ikke omfatter konkrete initiativer i forhold til forældede kernekraftværker og han kritiserede skarpt, at der stadig forefindes atomaffald i f.eks. Murmansk.
The proposal also requires the competent authorities to set up a computer database which would record details of keepers, holdings and the number of sheep or goats they keep, and, by 1 July 2005, details of animal movements, but not down to the individual ID level.
For lidt handling og for meget papir Stort set alle de øvrige ordførere tilsluttede sig Suominens kritik af for lidt handling og "for meget papir" i politikken for den nordiske dimension.
MEPs also say until such time as each Member State is able to establish a computer database, Member States should ensure that the competent authority has a central register of all the holdings situated on its territory which keep animals.
