Han fastslog, at den italienske kompromispakke ikke var acceptabel for den liberale gruppe.
Mr Duff stated that it would be unacceptable for the Constitution to backtrack on extending the scope of qualified majority voting especially in the area of social security for migrant workers.
Det er bla. uheldigt at forlade kvalificeret flertal ved afstemninger om social sikring for vandrende arbejdstagere, og EP bør have medbestemmelse ved beslutninger om forskning.
It was also unacceptable for co-decision powers to be removed on the Commission's research and development programmes.
Men nu må alle bevæge sig, hvis regeringskonferencen skal lykkes, fastslog Andrew Duff.
All Member States, he stated, would have to move if agreement was going to be reached.
"Socialt Europa"!
The UK Prime Minister, whoever that might be, would have to move the most, he stated.
Den finske GUE'er Esko SEPPÄNEN understregede, at hans gruppe ønske et socialt Europa med social sikring .
Esko SEPPÄNEN (FIN) for the GUE/NGL group said that a constitution was supposed to be a manifestation of the people and states of Europe and so the will of the people should be tested in all the member states by referendum.
Han fastslog, at forfatningstraktaten kræver enighed i alle lande, og han gik ind for folkeafstemninger i alle EU-lande.
He also argued against the offensive military role for the EU which he said formed part of the agreement in Naples, and against the mention of NATO in the EU constitution.
Findes "de 82 punkter"?
The GUE-NGL group was not satisfied with the draft treaty's provisions for a social Europe, which he said did not provide sufficient protection for access to essential services.
Den belgiske grønne Monica FRASSONI fastslog, at målet er at gøre EU mere effektivt og skabe mere demokrati.
For the Greens/ALE groups, Monica FRASSONI (B) argued that the purpose of the new constitution was to make the EU more effective and more democratic, but it was the balance of power between the Member States which had led to deadlock.
Men mere demokrati i EU er i strid med Napoli-pakken , som udgør et tilbageskridt.
The veto was the real cancer killing EU solidarity, she said.
Roche understregede, at det havde været nødvendigt med kvalificeret flertal i Rådet - undtagen om artikel 12 om beskatning, hvor det var nødvendigt med enstemmighed .
The only successful areas of EU activity, he argued, were those that had taken place outside the institutional framework, such as the German, French and British foreign ministers' mission to Iran.
Oplægget var, at MEP'erne alle skulle have en løn på 50 % af en dommers løn ved EU-Domstolen i Luxembourg, nemlig 8.670 euro .
Georges BERTHU (IND, F) said the issue of qualified majority voting was at the heart of sovereignty.
Ikke kvalificeret flertal!
This would be unacceptable, he said.
Roche fastslog, at det irske EU-formandskab havde gjort, hvad man kunne, og at de fleste medlemslande i Rådet havde kunnet acceptere pakken.
In the catch the eye part of the debate, Richard CORBETT (PES, Yorkshire and the Humber) stated that it was essential to reach agreement and welcomed the Irish Presidency's progress.
Men konklusionen var, at der ikke var det nødvendige flertal i Rådet til at vedtage statutten/vedtægten for MEP'erne.
He asked the Irish Presidency to explain how it would convince the remaining Member States to accept the double majority system of voting rights in the Council.
Der var derfor ingen grund til at gå videre til beskatningsspørgsmålet.
More work by the EU institutions and Member States, he said, had to be done in order to meet the Lisbon goals and he also questioned of the one-size fits all monetary policy associated with the euro.
Roche havde håbet på at kunne komme med et mere positivt budskab til EP i dag.
Responding to the debate, Mr Roche said that if there was a political will to agree, a way could be found.
Utroligt frustrerende Formanden for Europa-Parlamentet, ireren Pat COX gav Rådet skylden for fiaskoen, og han beklagede, at man ikke havde udnyttet lejligheden.
The prize of a constitution which was clear, lucid and visionary was a great one.
Det er et utroligt frustrerende resultat efter denne lange arbejdsperiode, og han var personligt meget skuffet .
Nothing was agreed until everything was agreed, but the Irish Presidency would work day and night to try to reach an agreement.
Cox fastslog, at EP har handlet i god tro hele vejen siden 1998, og at man i december troede, at man havde forenet de forskellige synspunkter.
The Naples text, he said, had served to clarify the draft Constitution in some areas especially with regard to defence.
Tyskland bag fiaskoen!
Without debate - 28.01.2004
Den østrigske regering havde blot sluttet sig til den tyske regering, medens Frankrig havde stillet sig på Tysklands side "som en frugt af deres ny-fødte kærlighed", sluttede Rothley.
In his response, President COX thanked the Irish Presidency for its determined efforts and noted that the failure of the Council to agree was not a failure for the presidency.
Åbning af EP's samling den 28. januar 2004
He regretted that this opportunity had been lost.
Ændringer af dagsorden EP besluttede at udsætte afstemningen af en betænkning af Joseph DAUL (PPE-DE, F) om hør og hamp til samlingen i Strasbourg i februar, da betænkningen endnu ikke er vedtaget i Landbrugsudvalget.
On a personal note, after his own work, that of his predecessors and of the rapporteur Willi ROTHLEY (PES, D), he expressed frustration and disappointment at the lack of progress.

Stjernestund i EP:Varm hyldest til Kofi Annan
Conferral of the Sakharov Prize on Mr Kofi Annan, Secretary-General of the United Nations
Den franske grønne Daniel COHN-BENDIT sagde under debatten, at medens han lyttede til Kofi Annan hørte han en anden tale i øret, nemlig Martin Luther King s tale, hvor han sagde, at "I have a Dream" .
Ours ," he said, " is a Union of values based on pluralist democracy, respect for the rule of law, respect for individual and minority rights, sustainability, solidarity, open economy respect for cultural diversity.
Det var Cohn-Bendits drøm, at alle regeringsledere i verden ville høre Kofi Annans klare budskab om indvandring.
As regards Weapons of Mass Destruction, we stand firmly on the side of non-proliferation, but our instinctive European response is for engagement and not isolation. "
Men problemet er, at på hjemmefronten gør vi det stik modsatte af, hvad den klarsynede og stærke Kofi Annan anbefaler, fastslog Cohn-Bendit.
Finally the President addressed Mr Annan directly: " For defending freedom and for promoting the values we believe in in this House, it is my privilege to award to you, the United Nations, the Sakharov Prize of the European Parliament ."
FN og multilateralisme!
The brave men and women lost in Baghdad were free spirits and free thinkers.
Den irske udenrigsminister Brian COWEN - der talte på vegne af det irske EU-formandskab - sagde, at Kofi Annan var den mest passende modtager af Sakharov-prisen, som har en varig værdi.
He also thanked President Cox and Parliament for inviting the relatives of victims and survivors to the ceremony, which, he said, spoke volumes about the solidarity of the EU and the UN.
Han udtrykte Europas støtte til de FN-ansatte , der kæmper for fred i verden, og som undertiden må yde nogle kæmpeofre.
" Like many who survived the blast ," he said, " the United Nations itself carries deep wounds.
Han understregede, at verden var blevet fattige med det barbariske angreb på FN-hovedkvarteret i Bagdad.
It was necessary to manage this movement far better than at present for the sake of the countries migrants leave, travel through and migrate to.
Den myrdede De Mello havde været en pragtfuld mand med mange følelser, han var fornuftig, høflig og gav mange impulser til andre.
Asylum systems were overburdened, said Mr Annan, because many people saw no other channel through which to migrate, sometimes resorting to human traffickers and falling into the hands of organised crime.
Chris Patten roste også Kofi Annan , som var en stor personlighed, der gennem mange år har tjent FN på en fremragende måde.
Mr Annan said this human rights crisis shames our world, as was all the more tragic because many States which closed their doors actually need immigrants.
Hjertet og politisk klogskab Formanden for PPE-gruppen, den tyske CDU'er Hans-Gert PÖTTERING fastslog, at det var en vigtig dag i Europa-Parlamentets historie.
Immigration was an inevitable and important part of the solution, he said, encouraging European states to open up greater avenues for legal migration.
Ved at give Sakharov-prisen til Kofi Annan og FN's personale har man brugt både hjertet og politisk klogskab, idet FN-medarbejderne kæmper for menneskerettighederne og demokratiet.
Mr Annan recognised the problems and difficulties of immigration, especially regarding the integration of migrants with diverse cultures, religions and languages. "
Pöttering håbede, at EU en dag kan optræde med en stemme i FN.
Integration is a two-way street, " he said. "
Kofi Annan havde udtrykt meget kloge ord om indvandring, og Baron var enig med Kofi Annan i, hvad EU burde gøre.
The UN Secretary-General called for the combat against illegal immigration to be part of a much broader agenda, to harness the benefits of immigration, not vainly try to stop it. "
EU og FN har en fælles opgave , og vi må forsvare multilateralisme.
The public has been fed images of a flood of unwelcome entrants and threats to their societies and identities.
FN er nødvendig, idet FN forsvarer en nobel opgave, sluttede Enrique Baron.
In the process immigrants have sometimes been stigmatised, vilified, event de-humanised ."
Beskytte kommende generationer mod krige!
A closed Europe would be meaner, poorer weaker and older.
Formanden for den liberale gruppe, skotten Graham WATSON var også enig med Kofi Annans udtalelser om indvandring, idet vi ikke kan lukke vore grænser for de nødlidende.
The UN Secretary-General concluded by stating his belief that if Sergio Vieira de Mello - and indeed Andrei Sakharov - were present, they would say the same thing: people who move across borders today in search of a better life for themselves and their families, are our brothers and our sisters too. "
Dette er en politisk udfordring for EU, og FN får os til at se tingene i et større perspektiv .
Let us treat them that way ," he said, as MEPs rose to a standing ovation.
FN har samme målsætning som EU, nemlig at beskytte kommende generationer mod krige , som vi jo har haft så mange af i Europa, sluttede Graham Watson.
Last year, he recalled, on 19 August, people were horrified at the appalling attack on the lives of United Nations personnel in the UN Headquarters in Baghdad.
Kollektivt ansvar!
The loss of Sergio Vieira de Mello was a cause of particular sadness.
Vi har alle et kollektivt ansvar for at læse problemer som terror og konflikten i Mellemøsten, fastslog Francis Wurtz.
The Minister said that we are indebted to Secretary-General Annan on many levels and for many things.
Prestige til FN Den franske UEN'er Charles PASQUA udtrykte tillid til og respekt for Kofi Annan, som har givet FN prestige igen .
He drew attention to the courage and clarity with which he has addressed the challenges facing the multilateral system.
Men indvandrerproblemet løses ikke ved at åbne vore grænser, mente Pasqua.
At the General Assembly last September, the Secretary-General characterised the position to which the UN had come as ” a fork in the road ”.
Vi bør fordømme de økonomiske konsekvenser af globaliseringen, og vi bør øge støtten til u-landene, så alle de der lider, kan få et normalt liv.
Recently, at the World Economic Forum, the Secretary-General noted that the conduct of international politics had become less favourable to the maintenance of a stable, equitable and rules-based international order and that the role of the United Nations itself and the system of collective security, were under serious strain.
Aldrig før har så mange uskyldige børn haft brug for vor hjælp .
Central to this is the EU’s support for a strengthened United Nations.
Bonde mente, at FN's blå baretter, der kæmper for fred, skal blive en permanent hærstyrke, hvor Kofi Annan er general for generalerne.
The Minister continued by stating that intensified and effective co-operation between the EU and the UN is a central priority for Ireland’s Presidency.
Det var Bondes drøm , at der en gang blive så mange naive - ligesom ham selv - at vi ikke mere tillader krig, nedbrydning af kloden, og at uskyldige børn lider.
It is imperative that the United Nations is given the means to meet successfully the many and varied challenges of today.
Sakharov-prisen til Kofi Annan:Symbolsk og højtidelig dag for Europa-Parlamentet
The multilateral system embodied in the UN Charter is the only way that human rights and humanitarian law can be effectively defended.
Formanden for Europa-Parlamentet Pat COX ankom til mødesalen sammen med FN's generalsekretær, Kofi ANNAN under stående ovationer fra medlemmer og alle øvrige tilstedeværende i salen.
It provides the only real means of addressing the varied threats of today: terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, poverty, hunger and disease together with new, or rather growing challenges, such as migration to which the Secretary-General has made particular reference today.
Velkommen til tidligere prismodtagere Cox bød de tidligere Sakharov-prismodtagere velkommen til EP, herunder bl.a. José Alejandro "Xanana" GUSMAO , der er præsident på Østtimor, Ibrahim RUGOVA - præsident i Kosova og den kinesiske menneskerettighedsforkæmper, Wei JINGSHENG .
It is only through being multilateralist that effective action can be taken to meet the Millennium Development Goals, for example, so that the glaring inequalities and unremitting human suffering which in turn create and foster so many threats to peace and security are meaningfully addressed.
Endvidere fremhævede Cox, at EU i væsentlig grad bidrager til sikring af disse værdier, bl.a. ved at være den største donor til "bistand uden bånd" , deltagelse i kampen mod verdens fattigdom og sikring af EU's grænser mod illegal indvandring og terrorisme.
UN High Commissioner for Refugees Lubbers attended the informal meeting of EU Justice and Home Affairs Ministers in Dublin on Thursday last, at which there was a constructive discussion of proposed European asylum and migration legislation.
Cox understregede, at EU skal være "en fæstning for menneskeheden - ikke for Europa" .
For the European Union, the United Nations is more than a political affiliation.
Cox sagde endvidere, at EU giver sin vedholdende støtte til den internationale strafferet og arbejder for en løsning på Guantanamofangernes situation.
As the Nobel Committee stated in awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to Kofi Annan and the United Nations staff in 2001, it granted the prize ” to proclaim that the only negotiable route to global peace and co-operation goes by way of the United Nations ”.
Under stående klapsalver fra alle i salen udtrykte Cox sin dybeste medfølelse med de tilstedeværende efterladte, blandt andre enken og sønnen til Vieira De Mello.
Finally, he commended the award of the Sakharov Prize to the United Nations Secretary-General and his staff.
Cox sagde til de tydeligt rørte efterladte: Vi kan ikke erstatte Jeres tab, kun udtrykke vores dybe medfølelse.
Responding for the European Commission, Chris PATTEN said that the aims of the award and its recipient were a perfect match.
Endelig overrakte Cox - igen fuldt af højlydte og taktfaste klapsalver -Sakharov-prisen til Kofi Annan for forsvaret for frihed og fremme af de fælles værdier.
The prize was given for defence of human rights, international law and democracy, and defence of minorities.
Annan sagde, at denne gestus "siger meget om EU's solidaritet med FN ".
It was fortunate, he said, that the UN was blessed with other equally talented individuals, and was led by one, Mr Annan, to whose work he also paid tribute.
Annan betegnede EU som "et strålende lys af tolerance", der efter den 1. maj - når EU udvides med 10 nye lande - vil lyse endnu stærkere.
Welcoming Mr Annan's words on immigration, the Commissioner commended the sentiments of the speech to MEPs and their electorates. "
Immigration: En vigtig del af løsningen
As for immigration, he stated that he shared Mr Annan's views on the importance of integration.
Annan lagde, i sin tale til EP, særligt vægten på immigrationsspørgsmål.
Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (E), for the PES group, stated that it was a " great honou r" to receive the Secretary-General of the UN.
Som illustration sagde Annan, at et land som f.eks. Italien i nær fremtid vil opleve et fald på 1/4 af befolkningen , hvis ikke man åbner op for legal indvandring.
Mr Annan's speech, he said, recalled the importance of migration for the development of mankind.
Opfordring til fælles europæisk immigrationssystem Annan talte om legal og illegal immigration samt om flygtninge, og han gjorde det klart, at EU bør arbejde for et åbent fælles asyl- og immigrationssystem med en klar ansvarsdeling , der sikrer legal immigration af såvel kvalificeret som ukvalificeret arbejdskraft, familiesammenføringer og økonomiske forbedringer for immigranter.
As he put it " globalisation , he commented, was a phenomenon that applied to goods, services and capital but not to people ."
I samme ånd citerede Annan den schweiziske forfatter Max Frisch, der i forbindelse med 60'ernes gæstearbejdertid har udtalt: " Vi ønskede arbejdere, men fik mennesker ".
Graham WATSON (South West), for the Liberals, stated that Mr Annan's speech underlined the importance for Europe not " to shut its gates " to migrants and also inspired politicians that it was important to go beyond the " parochial ."
Annan understregede, at den legale immigration ikke er den eneste, men derimod en vigtig del af løsningen på de europæiske samfunds befolkningsproblemer.
He also stated that the UN needed to reform calling for a permanent seat for the EU on the Security Council and the withdrawal of veto powers.
Annan sagde, at et lukket Europa er et dårligere, svagere og ældre Europa, hvorimod et åbent Europa er et retfærdigt, rigere og stærkere Europa .
For the GUE/NGL group, Francis WURTZ (F) aid that many wanted to believe it was possible to avoid war.
Han rettede samtidig en kritik imod de (ikke-navngivne) lande, der fortolker konventionen for restriktivt, og dermed undergraver konventionens formål .
Daniel Marc COHN-BENDIT (F), for the Greens/ALE group, said Mr Annan's words reminded him of Martin Luther King's famous " I have a dream " speech.
Hermed anerkendte Annan, at integration af immigranter med andre vaner, kulturer og sprog er en vanskelig, men samtidig berigende proces .
On the question of immigration, he warned that progress was always possible in a utopia, but that in the real world it could not simply be a matter of opening borders.
Det er samtidig mennesker, der værner om deres kulturelle identitet.
If this was naïve, he said, perhaps there were enough naïve people in the world to put an end to war, child mortality and hunger.
Ros til EU's flygtningepolitik Annan sagde endvidere, at de europæiske stater - sammen med FN - skal arbejde aktivt for, at immigranterne kan vende tilbage, således at de kan bidrage til udviklingen i deres oprindelseslande.
Gianfranco DELL'ALBA (IND, I) joined the tributes to those killed, arguing that democracy could only flourish if all human rights were respected.
Han roste EU for at have indtaget en lederrolle - navnlig i kraft af Tampere-aftalen, der udstikker rammerne for minimumsstandarder på flygtningeområdet.
He also urged Mr Annan to support the European candidate for the post of UN Human Rights Commissioner.
Bekæmpe "den tavse menneskerettighedskrise" Endelig sagde Annan, at EU, FN og hele det internationale samfund skal gøre alt for at stoppe den illegale indvandring, der fører til ulovlig handel med mennesker , herunder kvinder, der sælges til prostitution: en situation Annan betegnede som "den tavse menneskerettighedskrise".
Finally for the External Affairs Committee, Elmar BROK (EPP-ED, D) added his congratulations to the UN staff working for peace and freedom, and he regretted that previous winners of the prize from Turkey, Burma and Cuba could not be present.
EU-FN: En bedre verden for hele menneskeheden Annan fremhævede, at de mennesker, der bevæger sig over grænserne er vores brødre og søstre og skal behandles som sådanne .
Democracy and freedom were essential if peace and development were to be fostered.
Han afsluttede sin tale med at sige, at EU og FN i fællesskab giver håb om en bedre fremtid for hele menneskeheden.
He argued that migration was a sign of failure: the first priority should be to solve the problems which cause people to leave their home countries.
EU-FN: Styrke og synliggøre forbindelserne
MEPs call for EU seat on Security Council

Forbindelserne mellem EU og FN
Report on the relations between the European Union and the United Nations
Der var 367, der stemte for, 62 imod, medens 14 undlod at stemme.
Parliament adopted an own-initiative report with 367 votes in favour, 62 against with 14 abstentions calling for the European Union to strengthen its co-operation with the United Nations.
EP er enige om, at det er nødvendigt at styrke og synliggøre forbindelserne mellem EU og FN på et tidspunkt hvor begge institutioner står over for dybtgående reformprocesser .
They point out that the EU and its Member States provide more than 50% of the UN's operational funds and peacekeeping forces, as well as over 60% of development aid.
EU arbejder på at få en forfatning, der skal gøre Unionen mere handlekraftig, åben og effektiv, medens FN konfronteres med globale udfordringer, der kræver en reform af organisationen.
In their view, Europe should play a more active role within the UN by helping reform its organisational set-up so as to make the multilateral system as a whole more effective.
EU-udenrigsminister: Samordne indsatsen EP understreger også, at hvis hvervet som EU-udenrigsminister indføres, vil det kunne synliggøre EU's repræsentation ved FN, idet der vil blive tale om én fælles EU-delegation (på nuværende tidspunkt varetages opgaven af EU-Kommissionen, Rådet og det siddende rådsformandskab).
The House would like the Security Council to be made more representative, better organised and more efficient.
Deltagelse og medindflydelse Endvidere fremhæver EP, at udarbejdelsen af den fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik, der skal føres i FN-regi , skal være kendetegnet ved deltagelse og medindflydelse fra alle medlemsstater (ændringsforslag 6).
MEPs suggest that the number of permanent and non-permanent members be increased to reflect better the current situation in the world.
EP mener, at der er 6 nøglepunkter for samarbejdet mellem EU og FN, nemlig:
They argue that the EU should become a fully-fledged permanent member as soon as its legal personality is recognised.
Sikring af menneskerettighederne ,
Africa, Asia and Latin America should each receive an extra seat.
Konfliktforebyggelse og fredsskabende foranstaltninger,
Parliament suggests replacing the current veto system with a "double veto", i.e. a veto by a minimum of two permanent members.
Bekæmpelse af den internationale terrorisme ,
This right would only be allowed for issues covered by Chapter VII of the Charter: threats to peace, acts of aggression or violations of peace.
Bekæmpelse af grænseoverskridende kriminalitet, navnlig narkotika- og menneskehandel,
Other areas of co-operation with the UN special agencies are mentioned, such as the environment, public health and the fight against terrorism and organised crime.
Støtte og lytte til FN Under formiddagens debat, sagde den danske SF'er Pernille FRAHM bl.a., at EU skal gå give sin fulde opbakning til FN og deltage aktivt i reformen af organisationen.
They highlight the urgent need to improve the exchange of information and co-ordination between the Member States with a seat on the Security Council and the EU Presidency.
