med Tyrkiet med henblik på tyrkisk EU-medlemskab.
The construction of an area of freedom, security and justice remains one of our most important strategic objectives.
Mistillid Under sin tale i Europa-Parlamentet pegede Jan Peter Balkenende på, at de europæiske borgere har mistillid til den europæiske integration.
Taking forward policies on immigration, asylum and on the integration of immigrants in our society are other key elements.
Det så man bl.a. ved valgdeltagelsen ved Europa-valget i juni 2004.
In addition we must implement the Counter-Terrorism Action Plan.
Kritiske kommentarer hører dog med til demokratiet, og der er ingen grund til at forfalde til mismod.
Terrorism is the biggest threat today to freedom in Europe and in the World.
EU er ikke perfekt, og EU kan helt klart forbedres.
On the world stage, we must spread peace and stability.
Selv kritikere af den europæiske integration erkender, at forfatningstraktaten er en forbedring.
In this context, he stated that he expected that the new Commission would have a larger proportion of women than all the previous ones.
Tyrkiet og islam I forbindelse med Tyrkiet-debatten sagde Balkenende, at vi ikke bør frygte islam, og at det ikke er islam, der er problemet, men misbrugen af religion til at skabe had.
If one individual Commissioner does not meet his duties imposed by the Treaty, he said, he would ask the Commissioner to resign.
Balkende sluttede med at fastslå, at vi i Europa bør forene vore kræfter og tale med en stemme, når det drejer sig om
Mr Barroso also gave the assurance that he would act transparently in terms of access documents and working groups and promised regularly to meet Parliament's Conference of Presidents.
bekæmpelse af terrorisme,
In conclusion, Mr Barroso said his candidacy was as a politician ready to rise up above traditional left-right differences.
forsvar for menneskerettighederne og
Political group speakers
bekæmpelsen af fattigdom i verden.
He welcomed the fact that Mr Barroso presented himself as a man from Portugal who felt at home in the heart of Europe.
Status Formanden for EU-Kommissionen Romano PRODI gjorde status over de sidste 5 år i EU og Kommissionens resultater i denne periode.
We should all, he said, acknowledge the country we come from, Europe is not about giving up our nations, but bringing them together.
Prodi mente, at Kommissionen havde gjort et godt stykke arbejde, og at vi nu efter udvidelsen har fred og solidaritet i Europa.
If we take Europe's values seriously, he said, we need a Commission President who will unite rather than divide.
Milepæle i EU's historie!
We think, he said, that you, Mr Barroso, are capable of that.
Udvidelsen med 10 nye medlemslande og vedtagelsen af forfatningstraktaten udgør milepæle i EU's historie .
But you know you can only be strong with the support of a large majority in the Parliament.
Romano Prodi fastslog, at det er for tidligt at sige noget om indholdet i Kommissionens kommende Tyrkiet-rapport .
He had also agreed that he and his Commissioners would come to the Parliament whenever they were requested to do so.
Der bliver tale om en omfattende objektiv rapport, da det er vor pligt at være upartiske.
We hope you will make the same commitment, he told Mr Barroso.
Under ordførerrunden sagde formanden for PPE-grupppen, den tyske CDU'er Hans-Gert PÖTTERING , at Holland altid havde været engageret i det europæiske samarbejde, og at man nu står over for vigtige opgaver:
When the Commission is confirmed, he continued, we will continue our task of control, but beyond party and national considerations, we need a partnership that will offer something real to future generations.
Man skal fuldende EU indadtil, og afrunde det indre marked , samt sørge for at vore unge videnskabsmænd bliver i Europa,
We all believe in the future of Europe, he said, so the group would offer its support to Mr Barroso.
Beslutningen om at indlede optagelsesforhandlinger med Tyrkiet er et omstridt spørgsmål, og man må overveje andre løsninger som fx. et "privilegeret partnerskab" med Tyrkiet.
Martin SCHULZ (DE), leader of the Socialist group, said much had been written about the candidacy of Mr Barroso, but one thing that was wrong was that he was the EPP candidate.
Islam intet problem!
He was not - he was the Council's candidate.
Den nye formand for den socialistiske gruppe, den tyske socialdemokrat Martin SCHULZ fastslog, at "Lissabon-processen" bør være en social proces med social stabilitet.
The Socialist group would take a neutral and unbiased approach to assessing his suitability for the task of Commission President.
EU-Domstolens dom Formanden for den nye ALDE-gruppe, skotten Graham WATSON var også glad for, at Holland vil arbejde for at dæmme op for den internationale terrorisme.
No-one, he said would satisfy all our wishes, but these are the criteria the Socialists would use to make their decision, which they would do this evening after the debate.
Om forfatningstraktaten sagde han, at de liberale vil føre an i kampen for at få vedtaget forfatningstraktaten.
He hoped that in the future a different procedure would select the Commission president, with party programmes and personalities being presented to the electorate together.
Bedømmelse af Holland Den italienske grønne Monica FRASSONI fastslog, at det hollandske EU-formandskab vil blive bedømt på 2 spørgsmål, nemlig hvordan man håndterer forhandlingerne om
A commitment to strong democracy, open markets, a society based on solidarity and free and fair trade, to progressing the Lisbon agenda, to a Europe speaking with one voice in international affairs, which is at the same time more accountable and closer to its citizens.
de finansielle perspektiver 2007-2013 og
He said the Commission's independence and strength were the key.
indledning af optagelsesforhandlinger med Tyrkiet .
These were the criteria on which the Liberals and Democrats would make their decision.
Hun fastslog i denne forbindelse, at islam ikke er afgørende i forbindelse med Tyrkiet-beslutningen.
Nobody had made any comment on why the Council had taken so long to agree on his candidacy.
Formanden for GUE-gruppen, den franske kommunist Francis WURTZ pegede på, at borgernes mistillid havde ført til den lave valgdeltagelse til Europa-valget i juni.
Decisions, he said, had been taken behind closed doors and for once the Parliament should stand up to the Council and reject Mr Barroso.
Med hensyn til revisionen af "Lissabon-strategien" , hvor Wim Kok fremlægger sin rapport i oktober, understregede han, at man ikke bør gå for langt i liberal retning.
Francis WURTZ (FR) for the GUE/NGL group stated that he also opposed the candidacy of Mr Barroso but this time due to his policies.
Ros til det irske formandskab: Effektivitet, lidenskab og diplomati
In particular, he criticised Mr Barroso's record in Portugal and his choices to reduce public spending.
Under dagens debat om resultaterne af det irske formandskab var der udelte roser til formandskabet for dets effektivt, engagement og diplomati.
He also condemned the fact that his government had organised the Azores Summit in 2003.
Den irske premierminister Bertie AHERN redegjorde for resultaterne og fremhævede herunder, at det irske formandskab har formået at opfylde sine to oprindelige målsætninger, nemlig at gøre Europa synligt for borgerne og sikre lighed for små og store medlemsstater.
He warned that there was not enough critical thinking amongst Europe's leaders to face many of Europe's challenges, including jobs, access to clean water, and combating disease in the world.
Europæisk politik: Til fordel for borgerne Ahern understregede, at vedtagelsen af forfatningstraktaten medfører en klar kompetencefordeling mellem EU og medlemsstaterne, at EU's demokratiske legitimitet styrkes, at de nationale parlamenters rolle øges og at borgernes grundlæggende rettigheder sikres.
Jens-Peter BONDE (DK) for the IND/DEM group stated that when Mr Barroso had answered questions in his group he had failed to provide full and transparent answers to questions on the Commission's many working groups.
Ahern sagde, at forfatningstraktaten gør det muligt for EU at møde udfordringerne i et udvidet EU, og at fokus nu skal rettes mod at gennemføre politikker til fordel for borgerne.
He called for these to be fully provided and for the " so called whistle-blowers " in the Commission to receive a pardon.
Endelig understregede Ahern, at Rådet med enstemmighed har udpeget portugiseren José Barroso som Kommissionsformand, idet Barroso har de rette lederevner, er overbevist europæer og dermed er den bedste kandidat til posten.
Cristiana MUSCARDINI (IT) for the UEN group said that the June elections had been a historic event, but that she was concerned about the falling turnout.
Den nuværende Kommissionsformand italieneren Romani PRODI roste det irske formandskab for dets diplomatiske sans og fremhævede, at forfatningstraktaten er et seriøst og realistisk kompromis - det bedst mulige resultat.
Citizens, she said, saw the EU as too remote from their national reality, and without the support of the citizens the EU might head for oligarchy.
Skabe en europæisk offentlighed Prodi understregede, at den vigtigste opgave nu består i, at starte en grundlæggende debat om EU, at klargøre for borgerne hvad EU er og ikke er og frem for alt at undgå, at borgerne forkaster forfatningstraktaten ved de forestående folkeafstemninger.
She called for funding for an information campaign for citizens, who wanted, she said, Europe to act when nation states alone could not: helping employment and economic recovery, and dealing with globalisation.
Under ordførerrunden blev det irske formandskabs positive resultater fremhævet.
He would have to live with these as well as the defects of the Stability and Growth Pact.
Hans-Gert PÖTTERING (PPE-DE, D) understregede, at forfatningstraktaten har førsteprioritet, da den på én gang styrker EP og de nationale parlamenter, og sikrer større gennemsigtighed i Rådets arbejde.
Jonathan EVANS (Wales), speaking for the British Conservatives and their colleagues in the European Democrats wing of the EPP-ED, told Mr Barroso he had a number of qualities which made him suitable for the job of Commission President, notably in his record of economic reform in Portugal.
Klaus HÄNSCH (PSE, D) fremhævede, at 90 % af Konventets udkast til en forfatningstraktat er medtaget uforandret i den foreliggende forfatningstraktat.
He called for bold reforms in the Commission to restore public confidence, including the appointment of a Commissioner for Budgetary Control, greater protection for whistleblowers and the full independence of OLAF.
Samtidig understregede Hänsch, at EU hverken er en forbundsstat eller en kopi af nationalstaten, men at EU er noget andet og mere - et borgernes og staternes EU.
He also called for a revitalisation of the Lisbon strategy and for all proposals to come with impact assessments and price tags.
Frassoni betegnede Barroso som "en staternes - og ikke borgernes - mand".
He wanted a President of the Commission who would be a man of action, not just of fine words and speeches.
Sylvia-Yvonne KAUFMANN (GUE/NGL, DE) fremhævede, at den lave valgdeltagelse til EP-valget i sidste måned viser, at borgerne mister tillid til EU.
Above all, he said, the focus should be on jobs, implementing the recommendations from Wim Kok, creating incentives for jobs and making work pay.
Bonde understregede, at retten til at have det sidste ord stjæles fra vælgerne og at magten flyttes over i topstyrede, hemmelige arbejdsgrupper.
Mr Barroso, in his reply to the debate, first of all addressed the Iraq dossier by saying that in Portugal, political parties had transcended past divisions by backing the latest UN resolution on the rebuilding of Iraq.
Bonde opfordrede til organiseret modstand mod forfatningstraktaten og til, at der afholdes folkeafstemninger i alle medlemsstater.
As to EU-US relations, Mr Barroso stressed that a strong EU did not contradict strong EU-US ties.
Brian CROWLEY (UEN, IE) roste det irske formandskab og særligt europaminister Dick ROCHE for hans åbenhed og samarbejdsvilje i forhold til EP.
He also stated that he wanted to strengthen the European Security and Defence Policies of the Union and recalled that when he was Portugusese Foreign Minister he had approved Portugal's involvement in Eurocorps.
Ligeledes gav Crowley sin uforbeholdne støtte til Barroso.
On the Commission, Council European Parliament institutional triangle, Mr Barroso stated that his priority had always been a strong supranational Commission.
Marek Alexander CZARNECKI (NI, PL) kritiserede, at der - påtrods af udvidelsen - stadig ikke er fuld ligestilling mellem staterne i Europa.
He stated that he strongly backed " the Community method " and a purely intergovernmental approach would lead to the break-up or possible " balkanisation " of the Union.
Czarnecki roste dog Bertie Ahern for aldrig at have glemt, at "EU er nationernes Europa".
To Mr Cohn-Bendit, he said there were better ways to " punish " the Council than attacking his candidacy.

The full results are as follows:
Tre stemmesedler var ugyldige.
The President therefore declared Mr Barroso approved as Commission President.
Han sagde, at de fleste portugisere i dag vil være stolte over at have fået en formand for EU-Kommissionen, og han var selv utrolig stolt over at være portugiser.
He said he would build bridges between those who wanted to modernise and those who did not and between the pro and anti-EU as well as between himself and the people that did not vote for him today.
Og han var stolt over at skulle tjene EU som formand for Kommissionen.
BARROSO for the post of Commission President continued on Thursday
Barroso vil bygge broer i EU .
morning, with further interventions from MEPs.
Højre/venstre-dimensionen er kun en dimension i politik - der er andre dimensioner.
Robert KILROY-SILK (IND/DEM, UK) said his party could not support the Commission President-designate, because they did not support the institution itself.
Der således EU-tilhængere og EU-modstandere både på højre- og venstrefløjen, og han ønskede samarbejde med alle, så vi kan danne en "dynamisk koalition for Europa".
They wanted to be governed by their own Parliament and government -- and he promised that they would be within the term of the present Parliament.
Jeg har en dyb europæisk overbevisning, jeg vil bygge broer, og jeg vil arbejde for et positivt og konstruktivt forhold mellem Europa-Parlamentet og EU-Kommissionen, sluttede Jose Manuel Barroso.
His constituents, he continued, also rejected the draft Constitution as a document based on obsolete theories and outdated fears of war and communism from the 1950s.
Alle er ligeværdige! - "Det er vor opgave at skabe fred, velfærd og fremskridt på det europæiske kontinent.
They saw the EU was inward looking, restrictive and bureaucratic -- what they wanted was a flexible and outward looking community.
Hvis jeg bliver valgt til formand for Kommissionen, vil jeg være formand for alle fra nord til syd, for store lande som for små lande.
They did not want to be part of a federal state called Europe, he said.
Jeg vil søge at skabe balance mellem alle medlemslande - store som små.
Finally, recalling that Margaret Thatcher had demanded the UK's money back in 1984, he said: "We want our country back -- and we are going to get it."
Alle lande i EU er ligeværdige!" .
Seán Ó NEACHTAIN (UEN, IE) made an intervention in Irish.
Det fastslog Jose Manuel BARROSO over for EU-parlamentarikerne i Strasbourg torsdag den 22. juli 2004 kort før EP's afstemning, om man vil godkende Barroso som formand for EU-Kommissionen.
Vice President Dagmar ROTH-BEHRENDT (PES, DE), in the chair, indicated that since Irish was not a working language of the EU or of Parliament, this could not be interpreted for MEPs and Mr Barroso to be able to understand it.
Erklæringen fandt sted efter en meget lang debat over 2 dage, og hvor MEP'erne havde stillet en lang række spørgsmål til Barroso.
However, she said she had been impressed by his dynamism and communication skills, and by his support for a strong Commission, without ' superCommissioners ', which was not beholden to the Member States.
Barroso understregede, at han går ind for et stærkt EU i verden , hvor EU påtager sig lederskab på bl.a. følgende områder: miljø, Kyoto-aftalen, Doha-runden, åbne markeder, udviklingspolitik, bekæmpelse af fattigdom i verden, bekæmpelse af AIDS m.m. EU skal påtage sig en udfarende rolle, EU har en social pligt , fastslog han.
In his response to the debate, Mr Barroso stated that he was in favour of a strong Europe capable of tackling major issues in the world including climate change, free and fair trade, the support for multilateral institutions and the fight against disease.
"Europæisk forsvarsidentitet" Jose Manuel Barroso mente, at man bør udvikle en "europæisk forsvarsidentitet" , og han vil samarbejde med den nye EU-udenrigsminister - Javier Solana - for at EU kan tale med en stemme.
In order to achieve all this, he said, the EU would need sufficient financing.
Der var ikke nogen fælles europæisk politik i Irak -spørgsmålet, og Portugal var ikke det eneste land, der havde en afvigende rolle, og det er ufrugtbart i dag at diskutere, hvem der havde ret dengang.
On the Common Foreign and Security Policy, Mr Barroso stated that he was in favour of further developing a European defence identity and had already started working with Javier SOLANA .
Han var stolt over at være europæer og ville forsvare den "generelle EU-interesse" - og tilstræbe en fælles europæisk udenrigspolitik.
The Commission will not decide Member States' Foreign Policy and as yet the EU does not speak with one voice in foreign policy ."
Jura - ikke religiøse fordomme!
As regards EU-US relations, he stressed that the EU should not be primarily defined in opposition to any region.
Tyrkiet -beslutningen i det Europæiske Råd i december er af afgørende betydning, fastslog Barroso.
He said he aimed to engage the US constructively, especially in the areas of environment and development policy.
Han kunne ikke forudsige det endelige resultat af denne proces, men enhver beslutning skal begrundes godt.
On Turkey, Mr Barroso recognised that this would be a key decision and the Parliament would be putting forward its opinion before the end of the year.
EU bygger på ret - ikke på religiøse fordomme .
He stated he could not pre-empt what the Commission was going to say but stressed that the Union was not based on religion.
Vi skal udbrede velstand og velfærd til vore naboer i syd og øst.
Mr Barroso also said that relations with the EU's near neighbours in the Balkans, the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe would be a priority for the Commission.
Om ratificeringen af forfatningstraktaten sagde Barroso, at debatten skal vindes på nationalt plan .
He promised a transparent Commission and would be willing to provide the information on the composition of working groups as requested by the Independence and Democracy group.
Han understregede, at han ikke vil have enkelte "superkommissærer" i sin Kommission, men derimod 24 "superkommissærer" !
On whistleblowers, he pointed out that the Commission had already changed its internal structures.
Kollegialitetsprincippet er vigtigt, og Rådet skal ikke blande sig i Kommissionens beføjelser på dette område, fastslog Barroso.
As to gender equality in the Commission composition, he repeated that he would do all he could to ensure that he had the highest number of women Commissioners representing at least one-third of the Commission.
"Whistleblowers" På spørgsmål fra bl.a. Jens-Peter Bonde fra JuniBevægelsen om gennemskuelighed og åbenhed sagde Barroso, at han vil sørge for, at EP får lister over alle ekspert- og arbejdsgrupper, og han ville regelmæssigt fremlægge disse informationer i EP, ligesom han ville samarbejde med EP's budgetkontroludvalg om finanskontrol.
On the growth and stability pact, he said that it was not necessary to renegotiate it but a " more flexible interpretation " may not be unhelpful.
Han oplyste, at budgetkommissæren bliver en anden end den kommissær, der har budgetkontrol og revision, som sit ansvarsområde.
On media pluralism, he said that the Commission had examined this in their Green Paper back in the mid 1990s and would be now necessary to examine whether there was a legal basis to propose legislation.
Kommissionen har ændret sine regler omkring de såkaldte "whistleblowers", så Kommissionens ansatte nu har pligt til at rapportere om uregelmæssigheder.
On GMOs, he stated that the Commission's European Authorisation System was one of the best in the world and worked well.
Social dagsorden På spørgsmål fra Poul Nyrup Rasmussen og formanden for socialistgruppen Martin Schulz om økonomisk og social samhørighed sagde Barroso, at konkurrenceevne kan kombineres med en "social vision".
In conclusion, Mr Barroso stated that he was a man of strong convictions but used pragmatism in the implementation of his policies.
"Lissabon-strategien" har også en miljødagsorden og en social dagsorden .
He offered political leadership but compromise where necessary.
Prioriteten er vækst og beskæftigelse.
He promised to work towards a better and a strong Europe.
Kampen mod terrorisme må ikke ske på bekostning af de enkelt borgeres frihed.
He was keen to work closely with the European Parliament.
Barroso sluttede med at fastslå, at hvis han bliver valgt til formand for Kommissionen, så vil han være formand for alle - både store og små lande .
For these reasons, he would be supported unanimously by the EPP-ED group - though after the vote, they would continue to control and voice criticism of the Commission, as their role required.
"Vi har markedet men ikke politikken" Debatten om den udpegede Kommissionsformand portugiseren José Manuel BARROSO fortsatte torsdag den 22. juli 2004 i EP.
Martin SCHULZ (DE) of the Socialist group began by saying he had no doubt that Mr Barroso was a person of integrity.
De politiske grupper tilkendegav deres forskellige meninger om Barroso.
The group had had some difficulty in coming to its decision, he said.
Herunder understregede Poul Nyrup RASMUSSEN fra PSE-gruppen kravene om, at Barrosos ord og løfter følges op af praktisk, konkret politisk handling, og at markedet ikke får lov at løbe løbsk.
They had asked four decisive questions: first, was he a candidate for a strong Commission vis-à-vis the other institutions and the Council in particular?
Nyrup Rasmussen efterlyste klare svar på, hvilken politik Barroso agter at føre og herunder, om han har til hensigt at arbejde for en reform af vækst- og stabilitetspagten, således at der kan skabes flere job.
Fourth, was he the candidate to represent the values of Europe in the world, including multilateralism, in the WTO and elsewhere?
Ordførerrunde forud for valg af Kommissionsformand:Delte meninger om Barrosos kvaliteter
To all these questions the answer of the majority of the group was no.
Hans-Gert PÖTTERING (PPE-DE, DE) udtrykte endnu engang PPE-gruppens uforbeholdne støtte til José Manuel BARROSO , idet han har de nødvendige professionelle og personlige kvaliteter, er god til at kommunikere og er villig til at samarbejde tæt med EP.
For the ALDE group, Graham WATSON (UK) began his statement in German, wondering how the EPP-ED group could have found so unreliable a partner in the Socialist group.
Pöttering sagde, at PPE-gruppen vil forholde sig kritisk-positivt til Barroso.
He said that if the ALDE group was to vote for Mr Barroso it would not be to bail out the EPP-ED, but as a vote for Europe.
