Under forelæggelsen af sin betænkning sagde Elmar BROK , at vi i formiddags har set den historiske dimension, som vi befinder os midt i .
Lojze PETERLE (EPP-ED, Opposition, Slovenia) deemed the support of public opinion indispensable.
Men der er stadig uløste problemer, og han nævnte her mindretalsrettigheder og korruption og svindel.
He hoped for consensus in the Convention on the future of Europe and warned against any polarisation between the current and future Member States, between big and small countries and between Community and intergovernmental methods.
Overveje tyrkisk medlemskab?
This, he said, ran counter to all logic.
Elmar Brok understregede, at Københavns-kriterierne ikke må udvandes, og at de bør opfyldes fuldt ud.
Androula VASSILIOU (ELDR, Government, Cyprus) saw Cyprus as a staging post for the Middle East and Africa.
Hvis Tyrkiet opfylder betingelserne, så er vi nødt til at overveje tyrkisk medlemskab.
The Poles used to be regarded as uneducated and backward, but young Poles would provide a boost for the EU and know its languages.
Vi bør i alle fald give Tyrkiet chancen , sluttede Elmar Brok.
Disagreement over small issues should be put aside in favour of the recognition of the wider benefits of EU membership.
Målet: Europas genforening Den danske Europaminister Bertel HAARDER håbede at sætte punktum på udvidelsesforhandlingerne om 23 dage i København.
He expressed his satisfaction at seeing some Turkish representatives here but underlined the need to improve information and communications.
Målet er Europas genforening, og i dag har vi holdt generalprøve.
For the GUE/NGL, Pernille FRAHM (DK) welcomed the delegates from the applicant countries.
Det kan godt lade sig gøre, og man kan tolke til 23 sprog.
There was a need to reform the CAP and remove any discrimination against the new countries.
Haarder mente, at formiddagens debat med deltagelse af parlamentsmedlemmer fra ansøgerlandenes parlamenter havde været en historisk begivenhed.
Cristiana MUSCARDINI (I) for the UEN group commented that European Unity was a way to combat all forms of fundamentalism, and that Europe shared common historic values.
Han takkede derfor EP, som havde demonstreret, at det kan lade sig gøre.
He said that Western Europe had fought the "evils of Communism".
1. maj 2004!
Council and Commission, he added, were proposing a date for accession of 1 May 2004 for technical reasons and to allow a realistic deadline to complete the ratification process.
I går skrev man også historie i Bruxelles, hvor man holdt et uformelt ministermøde med alle 25 lande - umiddelbart før EU-udenrigsministermødet.
He also emphasised that those applicant states, who had completed the negotiation process, would be involved in discussions at the IGC on the future of Europe before 2004.
Haarder understregede, at man var enedes om, at de nye lande skal tiltræde den 1. maj 2004 , så de kan deltage i valget til Europa-Parlamentet i 2004.
The lesson from today's meeting, he felt, was that the new Europe could work, while at the same time it was necessary to take full account of the history of oppression suffered by the new Member States.
De 10 nye lande skal også have kommissærer uden portefølje fra den 1. maj 2004 - men det kræver EP's forståelse.
This should not be seen in a negative light and indeed he felt existing Member States could learn the values of respect for human rights from the new countries.
Den nye Kommission kan tiltræde den 1. november 2004, efter at den er godkendt af Europa-Parlamentet, fastslog Haarder.
In his reply to the debate, Parliament President Pat Cox noted that there had been 61 contributions from 44 representatives of the candidate countries.
"Sangbund" for udvidelsen Bertel Haarder understregede, at vi bør vise respekt for kandidatlandenes indsats.
This showed that the new Europe would ensure respect for cultural diversity and guarantee equality for all.
De har gennemført gennemgribende reformer og opnået store fremskridt omkring demokrati, menneskerettigheder, markedsøkonomi og forvaltning.
Continuing the debate on enlargement, Elmar BROK (EPP-ED, D), the reporter for the Foreign Affairs Committee on enlargement, congratulated the candidate countries for their courageous and necessary reforms required for enlargement to take place.
Vi må ikke skuffe deres berettigede forventninger om hurtig tiltrædelse.
He called on the Commission and the candidate countries' governments to spend pre-accession aid wisely in order to complete the process for enlargement.
Haarder takkede EP for dets klare og uforbeholdne støtte til udvidelsen, idet EP har lagt en "sangbund" for udvidelsesdebatten .
Accession Treaties will need to be ratified, he recalled, as well as final approval from the European Parliament.
Han håbede nu på en grundig og sober udvidelsesdebat både i EU og i ansøgerlandene.
For Bulgaria and Romania, he warned against any new artificial obstacles which would prevent these countries from acceding in 2007.
Den tyske EU-udvidelseskommissær Günter VERHEUGEN mente, at EP har levet op til sin rolle, og vist at det repræsenterer borgerne.
With regard to Cyprus, Mr Brok welcomed the recent proposals from Kofi ANNAN , Secretary General of the UN, and encouraged both sides to work together.
EP har ikke opfattet udvidelsen teknisk, men som et politisk arbejde , hvilket viser, at udvidelsen også har en "sjæl" fastslog Verheugen.
Lastly, concerning Turkey, he insisted that both the economic and political aspects of the Copenhagen criteria would have to be respected, including those in the Charter of Fundamental Rights and he said that he was unsure whether Turkey could satisfy all of these.
Han understregede, at tiltrædelsesdatoen den 1. maj 2004 ligger fast , og at man forventer, at Rumænien og Bulgarien kan tiltræde i 2007.
For Council, Bertel HAARDER confirmed that Copenhagen would finalise the decision taking process with regard to the 10 candidate countries and also look at the question of Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey.
Politisk pres fra Tyrkiet Günter Verheugen var enig med Elmar Broks udtalelser omkring Tyrkiet , idet et Tyrkiet som kan tiltræde EU vil være et helt andet Tyrkiet end i dag.
Indeed, he added, representatives of the candidate countries participated in a fringe meeting with Council yesterday.
Og hvorfor skulle man afbryde den succesrige strategi?
He acknowledged progress made in the candidate countries, particularly with regards to introducing a market economy, restructuring industry and public administration and indeed taking on board existing EU legislation.
Samtlige kandidatlande skal behandles ens, og de får først en dato for udvidelsesforhandlingernes start, når de politiske kriterier er opfyldt, og det er de ikke i dag.
He did, however, warn that, for technical reasons, there could be cashflow problems in the national budgets of the applicant states for the 2004-2006 period.
Verheugen understregede, at Kommissionen ikke vil bøje sig for politisk pres fra Tyrkiet om at få en dato for udvidelsesforhandlingernes start.
On Turkey, he emphasised that the country would be treated equally but that no date could be fixed until it was recognised that the political criteria for accession had been respected.
Under ordførerrunden sagde den spanske PPE'er José SALAFRANCA SÁNCHEZ-NEYRA , at det er en historisk nødvendighed og en moralsk pligt, at vi nu forsoner kontinentet med sig selv.
He added, however, that he did not feel this decision should be hampered over technical details such as the "acquis" or taking on board existing EU laws.
Vi bør nu overveje, hvilken rolle et udvidet EU bør spille i verden.
Speaking on behalf of the EPP-ED group, José Ignacio SALAFRANCA SÁNCHEZ-NEYRA (E) emphasised the role of the EU in the wider world.
EU er en vigtig aktør i øjeblikket, men vor internationale rolle bør styrkes - også set i lyset af 11. september.
However, he underlined that the EU would need a strategic European Security Defence Policy to meets its full commitments in the world.
Den tyske socialdemokrat Iannis SAKELLARIOU understregede, at udvidelsen er et historisk projekt, og at vi bør gøre den til en succes.
Jannis SAKELLARIOU (D), speaking for the PES, looked forward to enlargement being a success story, including Cyprus.
Han erkendte, at Tyrkiet har været kandidatland siden 1999, men da de ikke opfylder Københavns-kriterierne, så skal Tyrkiet heller ikke have nogen dato for starten på tiltrædelsesforhandlinger.
However, he pointed out that the situation with regard to Turkey was completely different and not on today's agenda but rather for EU Ministers at the Copenhagen Summit.
Forhandlingsbordet kontra skyttegrave Den svenske liberale Cecilia MALMSTRÖM pegede på, at vi havde oplevet en historisk dag i Strasbourg, som havde været en foreløbig fest inden den kommende store fest.
Cecilia MALMSTRÖM (S), for the Liberals, emphasised the importance of injecting a political dimension into the debate in the sense that it was not just about replacing a military rule of Europe with bureaucrats but rather the reunification of the whole of Europe based on true democratic values with clear target dates.
Det enestående ved EU er, at man forener folk ved forhandlingsbordet og ikke gennem skyttegrave.
Jan Joost LAGENDIJK (NL), for the Greens/EFA group, said that the EU and particularly Mr Brok "should stop playing with words" when it came to Turkey.
Magten er hos bureaukrater og ikke hos soldater.
He said the EU ought to set a date for the start for negotiations and encourage the new Turkish government with its reform process.
Historisk chance Den tyske PDS'er Andre BRIE fastslog, at det meste af hans gruppe ville stemme for Brok-betænkningen, idet vi må udnytte den historiske chance .
Niall ANDREWS (Dublin), for the UEN group, focussed on the European Convention and warned that the results of the Convention would mean that there would be considerable changes to the EU very soon after the current candidate countries had ratified the existing Treaties.
Han pegede dog på 3 svagheder i Brok-betænkningen, nemlig
He stated that Turkey was not a "western country" and the rule of law was not fully respected in Turkey.
at de sociale og økonomiske problemer i ansøgerlandene var blevet ignoreret,
This did not take into account economic criteria, the question of institutional stability in an EU with Turkey, or indeed the geographical question.
de nye medlemslande bliver ikke ligestillet fra begyndelsen og
In fact, on geographical grounds, he felt countries such as the Ukraine had a more legitimate case for membership.
Den hollandske grønne Joost LAGENDIJK pegede på, at mange er hykleriske over for tyrkisk EU-medlemskab, idet vi siger ja, men håber på nej .
The response of Hannes SWOBODA 's (PES, A) to these remarks, however, was to emphasise the need not to leave Turkey behind.
Lagendijk var af den opfattelse, at EU ikke kan undlade at være imødekommende, hvis Tyrkiet lever op til kriterierne.
Taking up the situation of small countries such as Lithuania, Jill EVANS (Greens/EFA, Wales) emphasised the need for the new Europe to respect minorities and ensure that all nations, including Wales, would be treated equally.
Den irske UEN'er Niall ANDREWS mente, at man går alt for hurtigt frem i forhold til befolkningernes ønsker.
Baroness Sarah LUDFORD (ELDR, London) called on the Turkish Cypriot Authorities to respond positively to the Annan plans for a united Cyprus.
Diplomatiet løber simpelthen for hurtigt i forhold til befolkningerne , og vi bør lære noget mere af de irske EU-folkeafstemninger.
Secondly, she called for support for a proposed amendment, which would transform the monitoring system of laws adopted by candidate countries to meet the "acquis communitaire" to a system of peer review for the present and future Member States.
Tyrkiet: Afslutningen på EU!
This peer review, she said, would focus on the principles of freedom and democracy which underpin the EU.
Den hollandske EDD'er Bastiaan BELDER fastslog, at EU bør imødegå det tyrkiske pres for at få en dato.
He looked forward to future progress with regard to implementing reforms such as an end to torture, the release of political prisoners and respect for minority rights such as the Kurds.
Tyrkiet hører simpelthen ikke hjemme i EU.
Turkey's future lay in its own hands, he concluded.
Landet er ikke europæisk, og det har en helt anden kultur.
Michael CASHMAN (PES, West Midlands) welcomed the target date of 1st January 2007 for Bulgarian and Romanian accession.
Tyrkisk EU-medlemskab ville være afslutningen på EU , mente Belder.
However, he showed concern over Maltese employment law with regard to sexual orientation, which, he said was not up to EU standards.
Det har været krævende forhandlinger, og der mangler endnu administrativ og juridisk kapacitet i ansøgerlandene - både regionalt og lokalt.
Nevertheless, he felt there was some scope for negotiations and he would be looking for compromises, albeit the need to take into account respect for the "acquis".
Torben Lund håbede, at EU's krav om miljø- og sundhedsbeskyttelse vil blive efterlevet i de nye lande.
He also said that yesterday's Council meeting agreed to put in place a long term strategy for relations with what would be the EU's new neighbours to take into consideration economic reforms, trade, democracy and stability.
Grundkravene er nu smidighed og solidaritet med ansøgerlandene og solidaritet mellem EU-landene.
This would include co-operation with Russia, and he emphasised that it would cover such issues as international crime and immigration.
Vi bør således sikre fair konkurrencevilkår for tiltrædelseslandene, så de kan øge deres velfærd, understregede Torben Lund.
As to Cyprus, he once again emphasised EU support for the new UN proposals but said that the Helsinki criteria would remain.
Illusionernes verden Ole KRARUP fra Folkebevægelsen mod EU mente, at denne debat i dag viser, at Europa-Parlamentet og EU befinder sig i illusionernes verden .
The aim was to see Cyprus speaking with one voice.
Ingen af de basale betingelser for udvidelsen er således opfyldt!
He confirmed the situation with regard to Turkey, as already made in the debate.
Og Vesteuropa vil mange år endnu fortsætte udbytningen af vore østeuropæiske naboer.
The new treaty to be agreed at the IGC would have to come up with new arrangements for decision making in the institutions with a much larger EU and he felt should contain a considerable amount of subsidiarity.

EU-Kommissionens program for 2003: Udvidelse - sikkerhed - bæredygtig økonomi
Commission statement – Commission annual legislative and work programme for 2003
Onsdag den 20. november 2002 kl. 9 fremlagde formanden for EU-Kommissionen Romano PRODI Kommissionens lovgivnings- og arbejdsprogram for 2003 i Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg.
In presenting the Commission's annual work programme for 2003, Commission President Romano PRODI felt it was now time to stand up and question the limits of where the EU should be going in a geographical sense.
Lovgivnings- og arbejdsprogrammet blev fremlagt skriftligt den 30. oktober.
Whilst completing the enlargement process remained the number one priority, Mr Prodi felt that there had to be some limit on expansion.
Programmet er det første, der skal udarbejdes efter en omfattende struktureret dialog med Europa-Parlamentet og Ministerrådet, og det markerer indledningen til en mere integreret og sammenhængende politisk planlægning i EU.
In this sense, it was necessary to look at ways of developing new partnership agreements or closer co-operation with what would be Europe's new and existing neighbours to the east and to the south.
Den overordnede opgave bliver at definere det udvidede Europas opbygning - bl.a. på Konventet om Europas fremtid.
On enlargement, he drew attention to the point that the "acquis communautaire" would be in place in the new countries from the first day of accession and that these countries would be involved in the debate on the future of Europe at the next IGC.
Men de 3 store udfordringer er:
At present this was not happening, he said.
Udvidelsen af EU med 10 nye medlemslande den 1. maj 2004,
In addition, he said the Commission would be coming up with new proposals designed to make the Stability and Growth Pact more effective and reflect a co-ordination of economic policies.
Stabilitet og sikkerhed : EU skal tage højde for terrortruslen og den usikre udvikling i Mellemøsten, og EU bør gøre sit til at sikre fred og stabilitet for EU's egne borgere og samarbejde med det internationale samfund for at nå disse mål og
Mr Prodi said the Commission also intended to evaluate numerous proposals in terms of economic, social and environmental impact and with a close eye on "subsidiarity" and "proportionality" He trusted this new approach would improve the management of EU policies.
EU bliver nødt til at konsolidere fremskridtene i retning af at skabe en bæredygtig og solidarisk vidensbaseret økonomi.
His other concern was with developing a new approach to globalisation and managing international trade with a view to respect for the environment and taking account of the interests of developing countries.
Bekymring for "Lissabon" I sin tale sagde Prodi, at han var bekymret for "Lissabon-processen" .
However, she called for individual Commissioners to detail to Parliament legislative proposals to be brought forward in the following year.
Den største udfordring er at skabe et videnssamfund, men indsatsen og investeringerne er ikke store nok, hverken til forskning, menneskelige ressourcer m.m. Og EU står over for "USA's udfordring" og den teknologiske udvikling i Asien, hvor investeringerne er større.
Turning to enlargement, the EPP-ED group, she said, was still concerned about the implementation of EU legislation in the candidate countries particularly in the area of the environment.
Globalisering og bæredygtig udvikling EU er det sidste håb for mange omkring globalisering og bæredygtig udvikling, hvilket vi bl.a. så i Johannesburg i september, fastslog Prodi.
On the Commission's second priority - that of stability and security, Mrs Grossetete said that her group was in favour of the establishment of a European Public Prosecutor.
Og her må EU sørge for at leve op til omverdenens forventninger.
She then called on the Commission to make a clear distinction on the definitions of genuine asylum seekers and economic migrants.
Fleksibelt arbejdsmarked Under ordførerrunden sagde den franske PPE'er Francoise GROSSETÊTE , at den "strukturerede dialog" burde struktureres bedre, og at Kommissionens strategiske dokument var utilstrækkeligt.
She called for the Commission to come forward with proposals with regard to bi-lateral agreements between Member States and the US in air transport, following the European Court of Justice ruling on the EU wide "Open Skies" policy which condemned bi-lateral agreements.
Hun var dog glad for Kommissionens 3 hovedprioriteter for 2003, men hun så gerne et højere ambitionsniveau omkring terroristbekæmpelse.
Finally, she regretted that the Commission had not proposed to create a Euro-Mediterranean free trade-zone, nor a Euro-Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly.
På det økonomiske område ønskede Grossetête et mere fleksibelt arbejdsmarked, og Kommissionen bør stå fast på stabilitetspagten.
For the PES group, Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (E) was concerned that the Commission was losing its independence by working too closely with the Council and bypassing the Parliament.
Hun fandt det endvidere vigtigt for det indre marked, at man harmoniserer s kattegrundlaget i de enkelte EU-lande, ligesom de samlede skatte- og administrationsbyrder bør reduceres.
On the specifics of the Commission's work programme, he said his group would have preferred a framework directive on services of general interest, rather than the Green paper which the Commission will be launching.
Barón var enig med Prodi i, at vi ikke lever op til målene i "Lissabon-processen" , og han ønskede i øvrigt mere dynamik fra Kommissionens side omkring mediekoncentration , som EP jo skal stemme om i dag.
However, he also called on the Commission to clarify its priorities and to point out in which areas it did not intend to legislate in.
Han fandt, at meget af sproget i Kommissionens program var volapyk for almindelige mennesker - og selv for parlamentarikere i de nationale parlamenter.
He also said the level of detail for each proposal was insufficient, and warned that it would be incomprehensible to both national parliaments and citizens.
EU som en fæstning?
Lastly, he stated that his group was in favour of more independent impact assessments across the whole duration of the legislative process.
Den franske kommunist Yasmine BOUDJENAH fastslog, at EU's linie stadig er ultraliberalistisk , og at borgerne ikke kan komme igennem til EU.
Yasmine BOUDJENAH (F) for the GUE/NGL concentrated of what she felt was the gap between the EU in practice with the aspirations of citizens at large, as, for example, could be seen with the recent peace demonstration in Florence.
Både "Lissabon-processen" og Barcelona-konklusionerne er liberalisering og privatisering over en bred front .
She was looking for evidence of more "solidarity" with European people which she did not see coming from policies of liberalisation and deregulation of such sectors as the energy market and postal services.
I stedet bør vi have et solidarisk og åbent Europa, men Kommissionen foreslår EU som en fæstning.
In addition, she said the Commission's policy seemed to be creating a Fortress Europe based on tough measures against asylum seekers.
Den belgiske grønne Monica FRASSONI mente, at dagsordenen for bæredygtig udvikling var det afgørende.
For the Greens, Monica FRASSONI (B) in general agreed with the Commission's priorities, although she wanted to concentrate on sustainable development both inside and outside Europe.
Dette var imidlertid et vagt begreb i Prodis tale - som mindede mere om retorik.
The Commission seemed to have abandoned any new measures to tackle this danger, she said, perhaps in the face of industrial lobbying.
Den italienske UEN'er Adriana POLI BORTONE stillede en lang række spørgsmål til Prodi bl.a. om legal kontra illegal indvandring samt integration af indvandrere i vore samfund.
Adriana POLI BORTONE (I), speaking for the UEN, generally approved the direction of the Commission's programme but she was concerned with immigration and the absence of any reference to repatriation.
"Variabel geometri"?
Jobs for immigrants and retraining in the EU was another issue that needed to be addressed.
Den hollandske EDD'er Hans BLOKLAND kunne støtte Kommissionens 3 prioriteter, men han havde sine tvivl om Kommissionen kunne gennemføre målene omkring miljø og bæredygtig udvikling.
Hans BLOKLAND (EDD, NL) too welcomed the emphasis on sustainable development, although he did express concern that there seemed to be no new initiatives on the environment as such.
Franskmanden Georges BERTHU - løsgænger - erkendte, at Kommissionens præsentation var bedre end tidligere, men han mente, at man burde give de nye medlemslande større spillerum omkring gennemførelsen af EU-regelsættet, og have en mere "variabel geometri".
Georges BERTHU (IND, F) was another speaker to raise the issue of immigration and, in particular, illegal immigrants.
Prodi-Erdogan Romano Prodi skulle flyve tidligt til Bruxelles, hvor han havde et vigtigt møde i eftermiddag med den nye tyrkiske leder Erdogan .
He did however welcome any new initiative in the Mediterranean and thought this could provide a means of furthering the EU's relations with Turkey.
Prodi understregede betydningen af Middelhavspolitikken og mindede om, at det er 2 Middelhavslande - nemlig Grækenland og Italien - har EU-formandskabet i 2003.
Proinsias DE ROSSA (PES, Dublin) was alarmed that the Commission's work programme included a reference to a Green paper on services of general interest despite clear demands from the Parliament on several occasions and from the Heads of Governments and State at the Spring European Council for a framework directive on services of general interest.
