I beslutningen beklager EP, at præsident Obasanjo er blevet indsat, uden at der er foretaget det mindste for at annullere de omstridte stemmeafgivninger og genoprette tilliden til valgprocessen
The House calls for primary law to lay down the precise place for this method among the various Community instruments and to stipulate how the various political and social actors are to take part in it.
EU-beskæftigelsespolitik:Den åbne koordinationsmetode
The open co-ordination method is currently used in around a dozen areas, although the Treaty only explicitly provides for it in the area of formulating EU employment strategy.
Ordførere: Miet SMET (PPE-DE, B) og Michel ROCARD (PSE, F)
Hence, consultation of Parliament is only compulsory in this one policy area.
- Analyse af den åbne koordinationsmetode inden for beskæftigelses- og socialområdet samt fremtidsperspektiverne
MEPs argue that the future constitutional treaty should provide for consultation of Parliament at all stages of the application of the open co-ordination method.
- Analyse af den åbne koordinationsmetode
Role of the European Parliament in the ” open co-ordination procedure ”
EP vedtog en betænkning af den belgiske PPE'er Miet SMET om den åbne koordinationsmetode i forbindelse med medlemslandenes beskæftigelsespolitikker.
MEPs adopted a joint resolution on the "application of the open method of co-ordination" (sharing of best practice across the Member States)."
EP opfordrer bl.a. Kommissionen til at udarbejde en undersøgelse af den åbne koordinationsmetodes effektivitet.
Parliament considers that the open method of coordination should be developed not only in fields connected to the Lisbon strategy, such as education and life-long learning, but also in the fields of youth, media, culture and sport.
Smet-betænkningen blev vedtaget med 181 stemmer mod 106 - medens 6 undlod at stemme.
The House stresses its role in the procedure must be clarified and enhanced so that the process gains democratic legitimacy.
EP vedtog også en beslutning om den åbne koordinationsmetode, hvori man fastslår, at den åbne koordinationsmetode bør udvikles , ikke blot på områder, der vedrører "Lissabon-strategien" - såsom uddannelse og livslang læring - men også på områder som ungdom, medier, kultur og sport.
MEPs also call on the Council and the Commission to join in negotiations for an inter-institutional agreement with the European Parliament, laying down rules governing the selection of policies for open co-ordination, and providing for a coherent application of the method with the full involvement, on equal terms, of the European Parliament.
EP opfordrer indtrængende den indonesiske regering og uafhængighedsbevægelsen GAM til at vende tilbage til forhandlingsbordet for at blive enige om at genoptage gennemførelsen af aftalen om indstilling af fjendtlighederne .
The House urges the Indonesian Government and the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) to return to the negotiating table.
Man opfordrer GAM til - på grundlag af Geneve-aftalen - at forfølge sine mål ad demokratisk vej og opgave sine våben og den indonesiske hær til at trække sig tilbage.
MEPs stress that the rebels should decommission their weapons and the House also calls on the Indonesian Army to withdraw from the region.
Burma:Anholdelse af Aung San Suu Kye
Burma - call to release Aung San Suu Kyi
EP fordømmer stærkt tilbageholdelsen af Aung San Suu Kyi og andre fængslede medlemmer af NLD og kræver deres øjeblikkelige løsladelse.
The proposal aims at ensuring the effective and safe implementation of the original above mentioned regulation.
EP kræver, at SPDC ophører med udenretslige drab, systematisk voldtægt og politisk intimidering af det burmesiske folk.
As the proposal is quite uncontroversial, the rapporteur Caroline JACKSON (EPP-ED, South West) cooperated closely with the Council in order to reach an agreement in first reading.
EP bekræfter sit stærke engagement i og fulde støtte til demokratiske, retslige og politiske forandringer i Burma.
The Parliament voted to take over entirely the modifications and additions introduced by the Council working group to the Commission text.
Og man kræver, at der tages troværdige skridt hen imod demokrati i Burma.
Promotion of employee participation in financial decisions
EP kræver omgående løsladelse af alle politiske fanger, og at Mugabe-styret omgående udskriver frie og retfærdige valg under international overvågning.

Debat og Beslutninger : 18-06-2003
Daily Notebook : 18-06-2003
Fredag den 13. juni 2003 enedes det store flertal i Konventet om EU's fremtid om et udkast til forfatning, og onsdag den 18. juni havde Europa-Parlamentet den første debat om forfatningsudkastet.
Opening the debate on the European Convention, Parliament’s President Pat COX said that the results so far vindicated.
Forfatningsudkastet fik støtte fra de fleste politiske grupper , selv om alle var enige om, at resultatet ikke var perfekt .
Parliament's belief in the Convention method as an open, inclusive participatory and democratic preparation for an Intergovernmental Conference (IGC).
Selv om alle havde småindvendinger, så var de fleste enige om, at forfatningsudkastet var en samlet pakke, som man ikke burde åbne på ny.
He found that the proposal represented a radical improvement on existing Treaties - way beyond the original expectations that were held.
De mindre politiske grupper i EP var dog mere kritiske og gav udtryk for, at forfatningsudkastet ikke bragte EU tættere på borgerne, og at det reelt ville værne politikerne mod borgerne.
To draw up a balanced project for tomorrow's Europe, to which have contributed 28 national parliaments, 28 governments, the European Commission and the European Parliament, and to get a coherent result, is something which should not be minimised, he underlined.
Fornuftigt grundlag!
He also said that the proposal should not be lightly discarded or unbundled.
Formanden for Europa-Parlamentet, ireren Pat COX mente, at Konventet var nået frem til et stort, nyskabende resultat med en bred institutionel balance.
Those who seek to unravel the broad consensus which was created would bear the responsibility of a result which would be the lowest common denominator, precisely the result which the Convention wished to avoid.
Udkastet er en væsentlig forbedring af de nuværende traktater.
Some further work was required, and the Convention expressed a wish to complete its work on Parts 3 and 4 of the Constitutional Treaty in the first two weeks in July.
Ingen er dog 100 % tilfreds - men sådan er politik.
He hoped that the Convention would find the means to avoid gridlock on European Union decision-making, with excessive reliance on the veto mechanism.
Pat Cox understregede, at man undgik den laveste fællesnævner , og at der er tale om en styrkelse af demokratiet og øget effektivitet i EU.
In this way, it would achieve coherence with the rest of the text which responded to the double challenge of enhanced democracy and greater efficiency.
Den spanske PPE’er Méndez de Vigo – der er medlem af Konventets præsidium - betegnede Konventets resultat som en kæmpesucces og understregede at Parlamentet har virket som pioner for det forfatnings-traktat udkast, der er resultat af Konventets arbejde.
He also strongly backed the idea that the Accession States play a full and equal role in the IGC.
Han lagde vægt på, at EU bliver mere effektivt og gennemsigtigt i kraft af at Unionen får juridisk personlighed.
He said he intended to ask the European Council in Thessaloniki to consider how best to associate the European Parliament with the working of the IGC. ”
Endvidere bliver EU mere demokratisk som følge af den dobbelte legitimitet; Parlamentet er blevet sit navn værdigt.
I think it is in the logic of progress that that role should be enhanced in the dispositions that will be made for the IGC ”, he said.
Méndez roste de nationale parlamenter for deres udstrakte samarbejdsvilje.
Citizens, he stated, have the right to know what they are voting for and what role this Parliament is destined to have in the wider Europe.
Indskrivningen af Charteret for grundlæggende rettigheder i forfatningsudkastet betegnede Méndez som europæernes identitetsdokument ; de europæiske borgeres triumf.
Iñigo MÉNDEZ DE VIGO (EPP-ED, E) recalled the resolution passed in 1997 which called for a change in the ways IGCs were held, allowing for much wider participation by different actors.
Det politiske budskab til Regeringskonferencen må være, at resultatet af Konventets arbejde er det vigtigste resultat siden Rom-traktaten.
He said the work of the Convention had outstripped any of the previous IGCs and this was due to the wide participation.
Méndez foreslog, at folkeafstemninger om den nye forfatnings-traktat kommer til at foregå samtidig med valget til Europa-parlamentet.
He welcomed the fact that the Union would be granted legal personality and that there would be an extension of qualified majority voting to 17 new areas.
Hänsch pegede på 6 afgørende resultater af Konventets arbejde:
Overall, he said, the Convention represented the biggest step forward for Europe since the Treaty of Rome.
Borgernes rettigheder og pligter bliver en bindende del af den ny forfatnings-traktat.
Parliament’s other representative on the Convention, Klaus HÄNSCH (PES, D) too welcomed the conclusions.
De berømte fire friheder fra Rom-traktaten indskrives.
As he put it, it was ” unique ” to reach such an agreement affecting 25 Member States belonging to the EU.
Klarhed om EU´s kompetencer– det bliver mere gennemskueligt for borgerne hvor grænserne for EU´s kompetence går.
He expressed particular satisfaction with the section relating to rights and duties of citizens and confirmation of the reality of the ” four freedoms ” enshrined in the Rome Treaty.
EU-Parlamentet skal vælge EU-Kommissionens formand.
He felt that better clarity laid down in the draft text would improve transparency and democracy.
Der bliver en større grad af ligevægt mellem EU´s institutioner.
Furthermore, its precision relating to ” subsidiarity ” or those areas where the EU could or could not act would be a distinct improvement appreciated by EU citizens across the board.
„EU er ingen verdensmagt, men har ansvar som en sådan” – EU får en egentlig udenrigsminister.
This, he felt, was a considerable step forward, as was the idea for the Commission President to be elected by the European Parliament following European elections.
Hänsch afsluttede sit indlæg med at fremhæve EU´s kommende forfatnings-traktat som en unik konstruktion – uden sidestykke og uden sammenligning med det 19. århundredes nationalstat.
He also felt that the balance between the various EU institutions had been maintained and that this was the way forward rather than a system based on the outdated 19 th century nation state.
Han understregede, at en ny forfatnings-traktat muliggør samarbejde på et helt nyt grundlag i og med at borgerne binder deres skæbne sammen.
For the EPP/ED, Elmar BROK (D) too welcomed the agreement, although he recognised that not all MEPs would be completely satisfied.
Brok henviste her til den tidligere formand for Kommissionen Walther Hallstein, der havde sagt, at det er en vedvarende proces at skabe Europa.
For the PES Group Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (E) too saw the agreement as a particular achievement, as he put it, coming some 20 years after the first European elections.
PPE-gruppen kunne støtte forslaget, selv om man ikke havde opfyldt alle ønsker, såsom flertalsbeslutninger omkring udenrigspolitik og beskatning.
It should therefore be welcomed, although he would have liked to have seen more progress in areas such as the economic governance of the EU and indeed tax policy.
Der er tale om en enestående tekst, som åbner døre, og som danner udgangspunkt for regeringskonferencen.
He also wanted to see a further extension of qualified majority voting, and a clearer role for regions with constitutional powers.
Baron understregede, at der er tale om et demokratisk projekt, og at EP er "demokratiets hus" i EU .
He also wanted to see a short IGC and called on the governments of the Union not to unravel the work already done.
"Nice-fiaskoen" Formanden for den liberale gruppe, skotten Graham WATSON pegede på, at succes har mange fædre, og at EP har ansvaret for en stor del af faderskabet, hvor man har rettet op på "Nice - fiaskoen".
He called for referendum in all Member States and for a simplified procedure to amend the policies of the Union.
Barnet kunne have været smukkere, men det fortjener et langt liv, og det bidrager til en udvidelse af Europa-Parlamentet demokratiske kontrol.
Sylvia-Yvonne KAUFMANN (D) for GUE/NGL group stated that results of the Convention were not perfect but more than many had expected.
Watson havde ønsket et stærkere EU på den internationale scene og flere flertalsafgørelser.
She said that the Convention had strengthened the concept of participatory direct democracy.
Han mente ikke, at regeringerne kunne tilsidesætte forfatningsudkastet under den kommende regeringskonference, og at man burde undgå at åbne pakken, idet det hele hænger sammen.
Mrs Kauffman also recognised that further work would have to be carried out particularly with regard to the policies section of the draft Constitution.
Watson understregede, at der er tale om den mest åbne institutionelle reform i EU's historie, og han håbede på en efterfølgende folkeafstemning i Storbritannien.
On the negative side, she criticised the fact that EU leaders were talking about using force to overcome countries which have weapons of mass destruction, she said this undermined the principles of international law which were recognised in the draft Treaty.
Europæisk borgerinitiativ Den tyske PDS'er Sylvia-Yvonne KAUFMANN mente, at der var tale om en milepæl i EU's integration - med væsentlige fremskridt.
For the Greens/EFA group, Monica FRASSONI (Greens/EFA, B), stated that there were still many issues outstanding and that the remaining few days before the European Council in Thessaloniki should be maximised.
Det væsentlige er, at man har styrket demokratiet med borgerdeltagelse og direkte demokrati og ved at indføre et europæisk borgerinitiativ , og derved udvikler man en europæisk offentlighed i EU.
Specifically, she called for a total abolition of decisions taken on the basis of unanimity.
Kaufmann ønskede folkeafstemninger i alle EU-lande.
She also called for a greater role for the European Parliament in the forthcoming IGC.
Den belgiske grønne Monica FRASSONI understregede, at regeringerne ikke må lægge deres klamme hænder på et forfatningsudkast, de ikke kan lide.
José RIBEIRO E CASTRO (UEN, P), on the other hand, took the view that the Convention had not addressed the gap between the institutions and the people and that the results only increased frustration.
Hun mente, at man kunne forbedre udkastet på en række områder:
It was, as he put it, a ” hollow sort of democracy ”.
fjerne enstemmighed ved traktatændringer,
A similar view was taken by Jens-Peter BONDE (EDD, DK) who saw a shift in power from the nation states to the Centre.
nej til fremme af atomkraft,
He argued that the results should be put to the people in the form of a referendum.
ligesom det ikke var nok at indskrive charteret i traktaten, hvis borgerne ikke fik domstolsadgang.
Georges BERTHU (IND, F) was another speaker who felt that the Convention had failed to address this gap between the institutions and the citizen.
Stemningen burde have været den samme i vore hjemlande som på Konventet, men det er den ikke, og der er snarere tale om en fiasko, som ikke bringer EU tættere på borgerne .
The leader of the British Conservatives, Jonathan EVANS (ED, Wales) was another speaker who felt that the results should be put to the people in the form of a referendum, although he emphasised that what was on the table at the moment was only a ” draft ” and that it would be up to the IGC next year to take the final decisions.
Glemt demokratiet!
He supported the retention of the veto for CFSP issues.
Jens-Peter BONDE fra JuniBevægelsen fastslog, at forfatninger tilhører borgerne, og at de begrænser politikernes valg og værner borgerne mod politikerne, men med dette forfatningsudkast forholder det sig omvendt.
The chairman of the Constitutional Committee Giorgio NAPOLITANO (PES, I) pointed out that the draft still had to come to this committee for an opinion and he felt there was still room for improvements, whilst Andrew DUFF (ELDR, Eastern) urged EU government leaders to listen to this ” voice of consensus ” adding that if the Treaty of Nice was anything to go by, then there was a danger of national governments seeking to water down this agreement at the IGC.
Her vælger politikerne hinanden, så Blair kan blive præsident, Fischer udenrigsminister og Aznar formand for Kommissionen.
Brian CROWLEY (UEN, Munster) recognised the positive work carried out in the Convention but stated that was just one step in the process - the IGC he pointed out would necessitate the agreement of 25 governments.
Han opfordrede til at holde folkeafstemninger om forfatningen i alle lande.
He also said that any constitution, by definition, needed the approval of the people, and therefore called on all Member States to subject the results of the IGC to referendum.
USA, Rusland og FN, skal følges i Mellemøsten ellers får vi en ny fiasko .
The High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy, Javier SOLANA was in sombre mood when he updated MEPs on the latest developments in the Middle East.
Det fastslog EU's udenrigsrepræsentant, spanieren Javier SOLANA under Europa-Parlamentets debat om situationen i Mellemøsten.
The situation was, he said, grave after recent events, although he was able to detect a glimmer of hope.
"Vejviseren" er i princippet accepteret af begge parter, men den fortsatte "voldsspiral " svækker lyset.
On the positive side, meetings between the US President and representatives of both Israel and the Palestinians were a sign of the intention to overcome the deadlock and he welcomed the publication of the ” roadmap ”.
Solana håbede på en snarlig våbenhvile, så man kan komme i gang med "vejviseren".
At a micro level he pointed to talks taking place at different levels between the Palestinians themselves and indeed the Palestinians and representatives of the Israeli government.
Iran Solana understregede, at EU både økonomisk og materielt skal hjælpe til genopbygningen af Palæstinas infrastruktur., og han ønskede en fredelig vedvarende løsning i området, hvor man standser volden.
He emphasised the importance of rebuilding infrastructure in the occupied territories as soon as possible.
EU's udenrigsrepræsentant kom også ind på forholdet til Iran , som er et land EU ønsker kontakt med.
At the same time, it was important to monitor progress in this area.
Der bør udvikles et økonomisk og politisk samarbejde, men landet skal overholde menneskerettighederne og lade være med at støtte terrorhandlinger.
Turning to Iran, he emphasised the importance of respect for human rights and the denunciation of terrorist activities as a precondition for furthering EU/Iran relations.
Endvidere bør man undgå spredning af masseødelæggelsesvåben og sikre fredelig anvendelse af atomenergi.
It was also necessary to address the question of nuclear power and to seek a commitment from the Iranian government in this area.
EU's militære aktion i Congo Javier Solana kom også ind på EU's militære aktion i Congo , hvor man ikke bare har fredsbevarende opgaver, men også skal sikre stabilitet i landet.
The High Representative then drew attention to progress in EU peacekeeping operations, pointing out that the goal of seeing such a force in place by the end of 2003 could be seen to have been achieved following the EU’s intervention in Bosnia, Macedonia and now the Congo.
Patten understregede, at EU kan yde et væsentligt bidrag på flere områder:
The Commissioner also said that the EU would play a key role in the monitoring mechanism set up to assess progress towards peace.
hjælpe palæstinenserne med reformer,
He stated that Arab states should immediately stop financing extremist Palestinian groups and that their offices should be closed down.
overvåge at man følger "vejviseren" samt
He called on Israel to moderate its military reactions to extremist groups.
Patten oplyste, at EU i 2003 vil anvende 132 mio. euro i Palæstina til institutionelle reformer og økonomisk genopbygning.
He welcomed the reform of the Palestinian Authority, in particular, the transparency of accounts and the increase in expenditure on Gaza and the West Bank.
EU skal endvidere øge presset på de arabiske lande, så de standser deres støtte til terrorismen.
He said that free movement for Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan would be an important boost to the Palestinian economy.
De bør således kun betale penge til den palæstinensiske finansminister, fastslog udenrigskommissæren.
The Commissioner stated that he was opposed to the idea of building a wall which would separate the communities and stated that it would only make the humanitarian situation worse.
Iran og menneskerettigheder Chris Patten understregede, at Iran har stor strategisk betydning i området, og at EU ønsker samarbejde med Iran på 3 områder:
On Iran, the Commissioner first recognised the geo-strategic importance of Iran, and stated that the debate on democracy was not only important for Iran but for the whole world.
om menneskerettigheder ,
All three areas, he underlined, were inter-linked.
om politiske spørgsmål som masseødelæggelsesvåben og
He said that there had been some progress on human rights but not enough.
om handel og samarbejde .
He welcomed the fact that Iran had agreed to let UN special rapporteurs back into the country.
Det er nødvendigt med samarbejde på alle områder, men desværre har man ikke succes på menneskerettighedsområdet, sluttede Chris Patten.
However, he called on Iran once more to work with the International Atomic Energy Agency, and stated that Iran’s nuclear programme was not a new issue for the EU, and one that he personally had addressed each time he had met with Iranian officials.
Den spanske PPE’er Gerardo GALEOTE QUECEDO sagde, at EU´s diplomatiske tilstedeværelse i Mellemøsten er central for at få stoppet volden i området.
Gerardo GALEOTE QUECEDO (E), for the EPP-ED group, welcomed the ” roadmap ” for peace in the region and stated that it should not be hijacked by extremist groups.
Hvis målet for øreplanen skal opfyldes, er det nødvendigt at EU i fællesskab med USA lægger et fælles pres på de involverede parter.
He said that it gave a new impetus to the peace process and the ” Quartet’s ” role in pushing it forward and monitoring it would be essential.
Qucedo foreslog at EU-Parlamentet inviterer den palæstinensiske forhandlingsleder, og fordømte samtidig isolationen af Arafat.
He supported the idea of a two-state solution and called for the European Parliament to invite the new Palestinian Prime Minister, Mahmoud ABBAS , to address the House.
Han opfordrede det kommende italienske formandskab til at besøge begge involverede parter.
He stated that he did not agree with the Israeli government’s decision to refuse to meet with Javier Solana because he had met with Yasser Arafat.
EU må appelere til Hamas om øjeblikkeligt at stoppe sine terrorhandlinger.
With regard to Iran, Mr Barón Crespo also emphasised the importance of Iran signing the IAEA protocol on nuclear energy.
Fortsætter Hamas sine voldshandlinger, må Hamas på listen over terrororganisationer.
For the Liberals Bob van den BOS (NL) took the view that there could never be peace in the Middle East with Hamas continuing to block an agreement.
Barón understregede, at den socialistiske gruppe støtter EU´s økonomiske og politiske forbindelser til Iran.
He called for an international force comprising US and European troops under the auspices of NATO to be sent to the region and for Israel and the Palestinians to enter into meaningful negotiations.
Denne proces skal fortsætte.
She called on all sides to support the ” roadmap .”
