Han pegede på de store meningsforskelle i EP - også mellem medlemmer af samme nationalitet, og at det var hans opgave at koordinere.
He said that he would work constructively with the Commission, and was very much in favour of a directive being adopted.
Tobaksreklamer bør begrænses for at beskytte borgerne - især de unge.
Dimitrios TSATSOS (PES, GR), stepping in for Minerva MALLIORI (PES, GR), the reporter for Environment, Public Health and Consumer Protection Committee's started by explaining the dangers of smoking.
Han beklagede, at det tidligere direktiv var blevet annulleret, og han opfordrede alle MEP'er til at stemme imod retsudvalgets ændringsforslag.
He quoted statistics on tobacco related disease and stated that 500 000 Europeans die of tobacco related diseases each year, 42% of Europeans smoke and Europeans are starting to smoke at an earlier and earlier age, 19% of people start smoking at less than 10 years of age, and if both parents smoke there is a 72% higher chance of the child developing respiratory problems.
Overdreven centralisme?
He also pointed out that the World Health Organisation is currently working on drawing up a report that would recommend a total ban on tobacco advertising.
Under ordførerrunden sagde den tyske kristelige demokrat Kurt LECHNER , at det var O.K. med forbud mod tobaksreklamer, men ikke i aviser og tidsskrifter , hvor der ikke er tale om grænseoverskridende konkurrence.
His committee, he said, was against all the amendments of the Legal Affairs Committee, as the Legal Affairs Committee amendments made the proposed directive more susceptible to legal challenge.
Den del af Kommissionens forslag er ikke acceptabelt.
By defeating all the proposed amendments, he hoped that the directive could be swiftly adopted.
Her kan der nemlig ikke påvises målelige forvridninger ved tobaksreklamer i aviser.
For the EPP-ED group, Kurt LECHNER (D) agreed that the health aspects of the directive were important, but national provisions, already in place, sufficiently covered those concerns.
Vi bør respektere de nationale parlamenter og undgå overdreven centralisme , sluttede Lechner.
His group, he said, was more concerned with the cross-border competition affects of tobacco advertising, and was in favour of a total advertising ban on the radio, and on the Internet, (despite practical concerns).
Den græske socialist Ioannis KOUKIADIS pegede på, at konkurrenceretten var retsgrundlag for direktivforslaget, og at nationale reklamer ikke har indvirkning på det indre marked
However, when it came to magazines and newspapers, he pointed out that often, only a very small number of copies were sold outside a particular Member State and therefore should not be subject to the directive on the grounds of distortion of the internal market.
Vaner og image Den hollandske liberale Jules MAATEN mente, at forbuddet ville være effektivt.
He explained that the Court of Justice held that there had to be a tangible distortion of the internal market as opposed to an alleged distortion.
Han fastslog, at man ikke ryger, fordi det smager godt, men på grund af vaner og fordi det giver et image som i tobaksreklamerne.
Ioannis KOUKIADIS (GR) for the PES group, agreed that where circulation of magazines and newspapers was concentrated in one Member State then a ban on tobacco advertising could not be justified at an EU level.
Derfor er det godt at forbyde tobaksreklamer.
He was convinced that such a ban would indeed be effective.
Maaten fastslog, at det var et godt forslag Kommissionen havde fremlagt, og han anbefalede, at man stemte imod retsudvalget overflødige forslag.
The question of how to proceed now was determined by the Court ruling and he regretted the approach of the Legal Committee, as could be seen with its amendments.
Den spanske GUE'er Laura GONZALEZ ALVAREZ beklagede, at man havde annulleret direktivet fra 1998, som havde været bedre.
But pointing out that studies showed that as many as 60% of smokers started before the age of 13, she too was convinced of the need for such a ban.
Den finske grønne Heidi HAUTALA beklagede, at retsudvalget vil udvande Kommissionens forslag.
For the Greens, Heidi Anneli HAUTALA (FIN) too was confident that the new proposal was legally sound and indeed she wanted the Member States to play an important role in regulating the ban.
De bør derfor nedstemmes, idet de bl.a. svækker retshjemlen.
He too welcomed the opportunity of allowing the Member States to adopt stricter rules if necessary.
De åbner mulighed for indirekte tobaksreklamer, og gør hele direktivet meningsløst.
Malcolm HARBOUR (EPP-ED, West Midlands), speaking in the place of Lord INGLEWOOD focussed on the principles underlying the proposed directive.
Forkortelse af livet: 13-14 ½ år!
He said that the possibility of a ban was a longstanding issue and one that understandably raised many emotions.
Den irske UEN'er Gerard COLLINS fastslog, at tobaksreklamer tilsigter at indfange næste generation til tobaksrygning, og vi må derfor beskytte især de unge mod faren for rygning, som hver dag dræber 3.000 mennesker i Europa.
He pointed out that on the previous occasion that the Commission had been too "greedy," and the Court of Justice had justifiably annulled the proposed directive despite warnings from the Legal Affairs Committee.
Amerikanske undersøgelser viser, at mandlige rygere forkorter deres liv med 13 år, medens kvindelige rygere forkorter deres liv med 14 ½ år, sluttede Collins.
Mr Harbour also raised the question of subsidiarity, stating, despite desires for far-reaching bans at an EU level, the EU did not have the necessary competencies to legislate widely on the issue as the Court had already proven.
Faktum Den hollandske EDD'er Hans BLOKLAND mente, at det er et faktum, at reklamer får unge til at ryge og rygere til at fortsætte med at ryge .
Replying to the debate, Commissioner Byrne appealed to those MEPs still undecided to follow the Commission.
Det er derfor berettiget med et forbud mod tobaksreklamer.
This was not a subsidiarity issue but rather a question of a level playing field.
Hvis retsudvalget ændringsforslag bliver vedtaget i EP, så bliver direktivet annulleret ved Domstolen, sluttede Blokland.
One possibility, he said, would be to bar the delegates from Parliament's building, next week.
Debat og Beslutninger : 19-11-2002
Daily Notebook : 19-11-2002
Redaktion: Jørn Damgaard Hansen Malene Lund (stud.scient.soc.)
Editors: Roy Worsley Richard Freedman Tel.
For første gang nogensinde deltog parlamentsmedlemmer fra de 13 ansøgerlande i en debat i Europa-Parlamentet på lige fod med de 626 MEP'er.
As politicians, he stated, the challenge is to give leadership, to win public consent in the Member States and in the candidate countries.
De 214 parlamentsmedlemmer fra de 13 ansøgerlande kunne aktivt deltage i debatten om Europas fremtid i Europa-Parlamentets mødesal i Strasbourg, og der blev tolket frem og tilbage mellem 23 sprog, dvs. 12 sprog mere end de nuværende 11 officielle sprog i EU.
President Cox outlined the background to this enlargement; recent events, he remarked, had accelerated the inclusive and irreversible process of enlargement.
EP-formand Pat COX fastslog i denne forbindelse, at der var mere "multikulturel tolkning" end nogensinde før.
On 9 October the European Commission announced that ten candidate countries were ready to join the European Union in 2004.
Vor historiske opgave!
Today, he commented, was a further step forward.
Pat Cox bød velkommen til vort nye "multikulturelle Europa" .
He also stressed that the fifth enlargement of the EU would come in two waves and that it was "inclusive" and "irreversible."
Han startede med at hylde den tyske kristelige demokrat Otto von HABSBURG - der sad på tribunen - som var medlem af EP i 20 år - fra 1979-1999.
He further commented that there should be no preconditions.
Bl.a. takket være Otto von Habsburgs entusiasme og visioner kunne vi i dag fejre en vidunderlig dag for Europa.
He said that he wanted the European Council in Copenhagen to commit the European Union to a headline date of 2007 for the membership of Bulgaria and Romania.
Pat Cox understregede, at det er vor historiske opgave at afslutte forsoningen og helingen af hele det europæiske kontinent, og at vi politikere bør udvise lederskab og vinde offentlighedens opbakning - både i medlemslandene og i ansøgerlandene.
Such a target, he stated, could enhance the necessary transformation still to be achieved by those states and, subject of course to their delivery of what is required, adds for them a real incentive to achieve the necessary change.
Ingen informationskampagne kan erstatte en reel politik, der er baseret på overbevisning og fornuft.
He informed the House that the leader of the AKP, Mr Erdogan, is expected in Strasbourg later this week.
Visioner og lederskab Pat Cox fastslog, at 2003 bliver parlamenternes år - hvor tiltrædelsestraktaterne skal ratificeres, og hvor budskabet om udvidelsen skal sælges .
2003, he said, would the be year of Parliaments - with accession treaties to be ratified, with the enlargement message to be sold and with European parliamentary engagement with Accession States to be deepened.
De valgte parlamentsmedlemmer i medlemslandene og ansøgerlandene og medlemmerne af Europa-Parlamentet skal nu gøre deres arbejde.
The Parliament, he remarked, would invite candidate countries to send observers to the European Parliament, with all rights of participation in political Groups, Committees and Plenary, except the right to vote.
Vi må overtage "udvidelses-dagsordenen" og kommunikere den videre til vore borgere.
Today, he said was the first time ever on the floor of the House for Accession State parliamentarians to express their hopes, aspirations and concerns.
Vi må have visioner og udvise lederskab .
Today's sitting, he added, was a unique event that no one could have envisaged 15 years ago.
Henvendt til parlamentsmedlemmerne fra ansøgerlandene sagde Pat Cox, at indtil 1990 havde historien frarøvet dem deres rette plads i vores europæiske integration , men at tiden nu var kommet til at indtage denne plads.
Nevertheless, he urged all parties to come together to find a solution to outstanding problems based on the mandate agreed at last month's Brussels Summit.
EU står for et fællesskab af værdier , som repræsenterer pluralistisk demokrati, retsstatsprincippet, social markedsøkonomi, kulturel forskellighed, solidaritet og bæredygtighed.
Looking to Cyprus, he welcomed the new UN plan for the island and encouraged both communities to put aside their differences with a view to a united Cyprus joining the Union.
Pat Cox sluttede sin tale med følgende opfordring: - "Together, let's make Europe!".
He then expressed the hope that Bulgaria and Romania too would be able to join in a few years time.
Vor tids største politiske projekt!
Here the target date should be 2007, he felt.
Den danske statsminister Anders FOGH RASMUSSEN glædede sig over EP's udvidelsesdebat, idet udvidelsen jo har stået øverst på dagsordenen for det danske EU-formandskab, og udvidelsen udgør vor tids største politiske projekt!
As far as he was concerned, he wanted to send a clear message that the EU would remain open to all European countries who comply with the necessary political criteria, and he emphasised that Turkey would be given equal treatment.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen understregede, at det var en enestående begivenhed , at parlamentarikere fra EU's kandidatlande deltog i udvidelsesdebatten, noget som havde været utænkeligt for 15 år siden.
He acknowledged the progress already made in Turkey and called for a continuation of the reform process.
Vi er alle vindere!
The next step would be decisions taken at Copenhagen, he said.
Den danske statsminister fastslog, at murens fald havde været resultatet af befolkningernes vilje til frihed og forandring, og at det havde ført til det kommunistiske diktaturs sammenbrud.
Yet he recognised that the agenda for Copenhagen was already proving complex and he looked forward to many outstanding issues being settled before the Summit and looked forward to all parties showing the political will to reach agreement.
Udvidelsen er Europas vej ind i fremtiden, hvor vi har en ambition om en fælles fremtid i frihed, fred og velstand.
Enlargement, he concluded, offered political and economic advantages for the whole of Europe with new trade and investment opportunities, as well as the chance for stronger economic growth.
Målet er nu inden for rækkevidde, det er nu vi skal samle Europa.
In other words, as he put it, there would be only winners.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen understregede, at udvidelsen medfører økonomiske og politiske fordele for hele Europa - vi er alle vindere i udvidelsesprocessen!
For Commission President Romano PRODI today's meeting was too a unique event and he paid tribute to the national parliaments of the applicant countries in processing all the necessary legislation to comply with EU membership.
Udvidelsen er vort mesterværk, sagde Prodi.
In this sense, he looked forward to stronger foreign policy with a shared approach.
Det vil give os mere indflydelse og større ansvar på internationalt plan , især over for vore nærmeste naboer
Like Mr Rasmussen, he too praised the efforts of the UN Secretary General with his new peace plan for Cyprus and, while he said the EU's preference would be for a united Cyprus to join, he reminded the House that this was not a precondition for accession.
Fred, demokrati og velstand Romano Prodi pegede på, hvad ansøgerlandene kan forvente af EU-medlemskabet:
He too looked forward to negotiations to take in Bulgaria and Romania at a later date and, turning to the question of Turkey, he referred to the Commission's report which acknowledged progress made and the challenges ahead.
Først og fremmest fred , som er den egentlige årsag til fællesskabet,
A pre-accession strategy, including increased aid for Turkey, would be revealed for 2003, he added.
demokrati , en værdi vi alt for ofte tager for givet, men vi bør huske på, at demokratiet aldrig kan tages for givet, men hele tiden må forsvares og fornys,
The EU's strength was, he emphasised, to guarantee peace and democracy, issues which should never be taken for granted as could be seen in the presence of MEPs today.
velstand og
Democracy should be renewed and defended at all times, he said.
en fælles aktiv rolle i globaliseringen , hvor vi hver for sig ville være underkastet globaliseringens rå kræfter.
A wider Europe would offer increased opportunities for prosperity in an open and integrated market and, at the same time, bring with it solidarity.
Under ordførerunden blev det endnu engang slået fast, at denne dag var en historisk begivenhed.
He concluded by expressing the hope that the new members would give a new impetus to EU institutions.
Selvom der selvfølgelig var forskel på de synspunkter, der blev fremlagt fra de forskellige politiske grupper, lød der et overordnet velkommen til repræsentanterne fra kandidatlandene.
Hans-Gert POETTERING (D), on behalf of the EPP-ED group, called today a great day for parliamentary democracy and freedom.
Han understregede dog, at der stadig er forhindringer, der skal forceres i forbindelse med udvidelsen.
However, it was, he said, symbolic that the decision on enlargement to 10 countries would take place in Greece - the founder of European democracy.
EU er ikke en kristen klub , som han sagde.
Overall, he said Europe has learned and still can learn a lot from each other.
Kandidatlandenes bidrag til debatten Endelig blev det tid til den virkelig historiske del af debatten, bidragene fra kandidatlandenes repræsentanter.
Furthermore, he pointed out that the EU budget would only be providing a much smaller amount of financial assistance to the new countries than that which had been provided from West Germany to East Germany, where there was still a 17% unemployment rate.
Her blev det igen understreget, at denne dag var af stor historisk betydning.
It was up to the new Member States to decide what kind of Europe they wanted.
Alle bidragene havde naturligvis et personligt islæt idet hvert kandidatlands repræsentanter fremhævede netop deres lands position i udvidelsesdebatten.
For Olivier DUPUIS (IND, I), who welcomed the new independent states in joining the EU, the goal of a united Europe would not be complete until countries such as Croatia, Albania, Serbia and Georgia were given the opportunity to join.
Roman JAKIC (ELDR, i Regering, Slovenien) tog en lidt anden tilgangsvinkel til debatten i og med, at han talte om EU-flaget som symbol på frihed, demokrati, retfærdighed og menneskerettigheder.
He added that the European Community had never been just an economic project, it was always a vehicle for political union and a means of enabling Europe to stand up for itself in the wider world.
Som Jozef OLESKY (PES, i Regering, Polen) sagde, så betød kandidatlandenes deltagelse i debatten, at nu var der ingen vej tilbage for europæisk integration .
Jozef OLEKSY (PES, Government, Poland) said the fact that the candidate countries' representatives were here proved integration was irreversible.
Han udviste dog stor forståelse for det faktum, at Rumænien stadig mangler at gøre fremskridt på visse områder .
It was of course aware that it had to make progress on a market economy, the fight against corruption, reform of the judiciary and auditing of EU funds.
Den samme forståelse gjorde sig gældende for Bulgariens repræsentant Ognyen GERDJIKOV (De uafhængige, i Regering) idet Bulgarien befinder sig i en lignende situation.
Ognyan GERDJIKOV (Independent, Government, Bulgaria) told the House that, although not among the first ten new members, Bulgaria welcomed statements by the Commission and the Brussels European Council to the effect that it was part of the enlargement process.
Et andet emne, der blev fremhævet af flere af deltagerne fra kandidatlandene, var muligheden for at disse lande kunne deltage i den regeringskonference, der sandsynligvis vil finde sted i 2003.
Jan FIGEL (EPP-ED, Government, Slovakia) said there was a broad consensus in Slovakia on the question of joining the EU, and the government and parliament had responded constructively to both the positive and negative assessments contained in the last Commission report.
KREIZBERG understregede også, at selvom han var for tanken om Europæisk enhed, så var det vigtigt ikke at glemme forskellene mellem landene og erfaringerne fra fortiden.
The rights of Member States must be preserved, he said, pointing out that all parliaments of the candidate states had played a supervisory role in the negotiations.
Anta RUGATE (EPP-DE, i opposition, Letland) benyttede sin taletid til at tale om de nationale parlamenters rolle i EU.
Anta RUGATE (EPP-ED, Opposition, Latvia) focused on the question of subsidiarity, saying she favoured a unicameral system in Europe, so as to avoid complicated procedures.
For at kunne skabe større åbenhed i EU, var det vigtigt, at de nationale parlamenter fik tildelt en større rolle i forbindelse med fordelingen af kompetencer.
The division of powers in Europe was a key issue and should involve an increased role for national parliaments to ensure greater openness of EU affairs in the eyes of the people, in particular before decisions were taken in the European Parliament.
Bela KATONA (PES, i Regering, Ungarn) og Michael FRENDO (EPP-DE, i Regering, Malta) talte om deres respektive landes historie og deres tilknytning til Europa.
Roman JAKIC (ELDR, Government, Slovenia) spoke of the symbolism of flags saying the EU flag had always stood for freedom, democracy, justice and human rights.
KATONA nævnte, at Ungarn har tilsluttet sig optagelses-kriterierne, men var også godt klar over, at der stadig er problemer, der skal løses i forbindelse med regionale konflikter og sigøjnere.
Peeter KREIZBERG (ELDR, Government, Estonia), while welcoming the idea of European unity, stressed that it was important not to ignore differences and the experience of the immediate past.
Halve sandheder om EU Ole ANDREASEN fra Venstre fastslog, at en ny epoke er begyndt for vort kontinent, og det er i dag en enestående dag i Europas historie.
According to Andreas CHRISTOU (EUL/NGL, Opposition, Cyprus) both the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities supported accession to the EU.
Det har taget for lang tid at komme til i dag.
The hope was for reunification via a federal solution.
Vi i den vestlige del af kontinentet var ved at lulle os ind i, at europæiske debatter drejede sig om økonomi og finanser.
He said Romania would make every effort to fulfil the accession criteria and become a full member of the Union by 2007.
Debatten om udvidelse har løftet os og vist, at EU ikke kun handler om landbrugsstøtte og fiskekvoter.
It was thanks to them, and to many people all over Europe who never believed in a divided European continent, that enlargement had been made possible.
Han understregede, at vi bør styrke informationen om EU og styrke kommunikationen med borgerne i de nye medlemslande.
However Mr Szajer was slightly disappointed with the safeguard clauses included in the accession treaties, saying they implied a lack of trust in the candidate countries.
Det er en meget vigtig opgave forud for folkeafstemningerne.
Bulgaria was now a model country as regards minority rights in a free society.
Jeg kommer jo selv fra et land med erfaringer i myter og halve sandheder om EU , sluttede Ole Andreasen.
Seventy percent of Slovaks were in favour of membership and sometimes they even expected the EU to solve internal Slovak problems.
Kristne fundamentalister Pernille FRAHM fra SF pegede på, at det var et markant træk ved udvidelsesdebatten, at næsten ingen kvinder havde haft ordet.
In fact there was a lack of information about what enlargement really meant and therefore an information campaign would be needed, otherwise there would be too much scope for extremist political movements.
Det lover ikke godt for ligestillingen.
He also called for the powers of the European Parliament to be strengthened by the Convention.
Pernille Frahm fastslog, at jerntæppet er væk i dag, men at sølvtæppet fortsætter i hvert fald 10 år endnu.
Slovenia had joined the Council of Europe 10 years ago but today made him even prouder as he was able to address the House in Slovenian.
Mange af talerne fra de nye medlemslande gav også udtryk for, at denne forskelsbehandling kan betyde et nej ved de kommende folkeafstemninger om medlemskab.
He said he was a strong supporter of EU membership but also wanted the differences between various nationalities to continue in the future.
Bonde pegede også på, at Vesttyskland hvert år betaler mere end 60 mia. euro til Østtyskland, medens EU blot tilbyder 1/5 af dette beløb til 5 gange så mange borgere.
Implementation of economic policies needed to be strengthened, as well as the administrative capacities for making use of the Cohesion Fund.
I stedet for Giscards forfatning opfordrer vi til "demokratiernes Europa", sluttede Bonde.
It was important to remember that enlargement was a two-way process, not a unilateral one.
EU’s udvidelse med 10 nye medlemslande: Tiltrædelsesdato den 1. maj 2004!
The applicant countries needed the EU and the EU needed the applicant countries.
Ordfører: Elmar BROK (PPE-DE, D)
Marios MATSAKIS (ELDR, Opposition, Cyprus) admitted to mixed feelings, of both satisfaction and uncertainty.
Kommissionens fremskridtsrapport om udvidelsen
He derived satisfaction from a long process of hard work culminating in accession.
Procedure: Den ikke-lovgivningsmæssige procedure
Restructuring was essential for Poland to modernise.
Tyrkiet i centrum!
Parliament had shown real solidarity then.
Et evt. tyrkisk EU-medlemskab spillede en vigtig rolle under EP-debatten om EU's udvidelse.
This week in Prague a NATO summit was taking place, which should guarantee peace in Europe and other countries.
Atter andre - Elmar Brok og Günter Verheugen - mente, at hvis Tyrkiet opfylder betingelserne, så må vi i det mindste overveje tyrkisk EU-medlemskab.
The solution should comprise the "acquis communautaire", as well as the right for refugees to return home and a single sovereignty.
Kløgt og visdom?
Equal opportunities and solidarity were needed now more than ever.
