6) Det er måske beklageligt, at den endelige tekst ikke foretager mere omfattende ændringer inden for social- og arbejdsmarkedspolitikken , navnlig for så vidt angår udvidelsen af anvendelsesområdet for kvalificeret flertal (ingen ændringer i forhold til den nuværende situation).
- explicit recognition in Part I of the role played by the 'social partners', particularly the Tripartite Social Summit for Growth and Employment, which is to contribute to social dialogue.
- Anerkendelsen af ”fuld beskæftigelse” og ”sociale fremskridt” blandt Unionens mål fastsættes i forfatningens indledning;
Lastly, the ordinary legislative procedure will apply to social security measures covering employed and self-employed migrant workers' entitlement to benefits.

It may then request that the matter be referred to the European Council (thus automatically suspending the legislative procedure).
uddannelse, erhvervsuddannelse og beskyttelse af menneskers sundhed”;
(The Constitution does not, however, state what would happen should the Council fail to act.)
- Den udtrykkelige anerkendelse i del I af ”arbejdsmarkedsparternes” rolle og navnlig sociale trepartstopmøder om vækst og beskæftigelse, som bidrager til den sociale dialog.
The IGC failed to agree even to the relatively limited number of cases in which the Convention proposed that the ordinary legislative procedure (i.e. qualified majority) should apply in connection with administrative cooperation measures and action to combat tax fraud and evasion (subject to the Council unanimously establishing that the proposed measures related to these issues).
7) Endelig skal det bemærkes, at den almindelige lovgivningsprocedure finder anvendelse inden for sociale sikringstiltag, der sigter mod at sikre vandrende lønnede og ulønnede arbejdstageres ret til ydelser.
However, the coordination of economic and employment policies has been confirmed as a Union competence (although the IGC amended the Convention text to place the emphasis on the fact that the Member States coordinate their policies according to arrangements determined within the Union) and the provisions specific to Member States whose currency is the euro have been fleshed out.
Dette kombineres med endnu en ”nødbremse”: Hvis en medlemsstat finder, at tiltag vil berøre ”grundlæggende aspekter
For example, the Council decision on the adoption of the euro by new Member States (proposed by the Commission) must be preceded by a recommendation from a qualified majority of the Member States whose currency is already the euro.

Major changes have also been made in the external relations sphere, but more to institutional arrangements than to decision-making procedures.
Råd (i så fald suspenderes lovgivningsproceduren).
Qualified majority voting will apply only to the implementation of decisions taken by the European Council (or proposals submitted by the Minister at the European Council's request) or the Council.
Efter drøftelse skal Det Europæiske Råd inden fire måneder efter denne suspension enten forelægge Rådet udkastet på ny, hvilket bringer suspensionen til ophør, eller anmode Kommissionen om at forelægge et nyt forslag (forfatningen specificerer dog ikke konsekvenserne i tilfælde af, at Rådet ikke foretager sig noget).
Provision has, however, been made for an 'emergency brake' in cases where a Member State opposes the adoption of a decision by a qualified majority for vital reasons of national policy.
8) Samtidig kan det konstateres, at forfatningen ikke giver anledning til ændringer på det fiskale område, idet enstemmighed stadig er hovedreglen: Selv de (meget begrænsede) passager med den almindelige lovgivningsprocedure (og altså kvalificeret flertal), som konventet stillede forslag om inden for administrativt samarbejde og bekæmpelse af svig og ulovlig skatteunddragelse (efter Rådets enstemmige konstatering af, at disse foranstaltninger lå inden for dette område), blev ikke fastholdt af regeringskonferencen.
Neither the Convention's proposals (qualified majority for proposals submitted by the Minister and supported by the Commission) nor the Italian Presidency's proposals (qualified majority for all of the Minister's proposals) were adopted, owing to opposition from various Member States.
9) Et andet område, som har været genstand for drøftelser, men hvor ændringerne er forholdsvis begrænsede, er den økonomiske forvaltning .
Parliament has been given the general right to be informed, and in some cases consulted.
De nærmere bestemmelser for afholdelsen af møder i Eurogruppen fastlægges i en protokol herom.
As a result, a common defence, or at least the formulation of a common defence policy, the principles for which were already approved in the Maastricht Treaty - has become a more realistic prospect 38 .
Regeringskonferencen har ligeledes vedtaget en erklæring om stabilitets- og vækstpagten.
This common defence policy gives the Union an operational capacity based on civil and military assets.
Denne pagt har i øvrigt været genstand for livlige drøftelser mellem
The main changes in this connection are:
visse delegationer, hvilket har medført vedtagelse af nogle ændringer
- revision of the 'Petersberg' missions 39 ;
i konventets tekst, som navnlig giver sig udslag i en afdæmpning af
- establishment of a European Armaments, Research and Military Capabilities Agency 40 ;
den rolle, Kommissionen skal spille i forbindelse med proceduren ved
- the option to establish, by means of a Council decision adopted by a qualified majority, permanent structured cooperation in the defence field among Member States which have the military capacity and political will to be involved (the conditions for implementing such structured cooperation are set out in a protocol annexed to the Constitution);
uforholdsmæssigt store underskud (de henstillinger, som Rådet retter

fra Kommissionen og ikke, som foreslået af konventet, efter Kommissionens
- laying down of a procedure for rapid access to appropriations in the Union budget.
I forfatningen samles alle aspekter af Unionens optræden udadtil i et selvstændigt afsnit (afsnit V i del III), hvilket er i tråd med indførelsen af en EU-udenrigsminister ( se ovenfor, punkt 6.5 ), som har en "dobbelt kasket", og som skal lede den fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik og samordne alle Unionens tiltag udadtil.
The Constitution also contains a solidarity clause under which the Member States must provide assistance to any Member State that is the victim of terrorist attack or natural disaster, if it so requests.
For så vidt angår den fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik, som fortsat henhører under det mellemstatslige område, hvor Det Europæiske Råd spiller en afgørende rolle, er enstemmighed fortsat hovedreglen, idet kvalificeret flertal kun anvendes i forbindelse med afgørelser truffet af Det Europæiske Råd (eller forslag fra ministeren efter anmodning fra Det Europæiske Råd) eller Rådet.
The arrangements for implementing this clause will be adopted by decision of the Council, on a joint proposal from the Commission and the Minister.
Der fastlægges imidlertid en ”nødbremse” i tilfælde af, at en medlemsstat modsætter sig vedtagelsen af en afgørelse med kvalificeret flertal af vitale politiske årsager.
The Council will decide unanimously if this decision has defence implications.
Europa-Parlamentet har opnået generel ret til at blive informeret eller hørt.
Parliament will be informed.
2) Det er inden for den fælles sikkerhedspolitik, at forfatningen giver mulighed for de største fremskridt, idet regeringskonferencen har gjort væsentlige fremskridt og er gået videre end konventets forslag.
Furthermore, they are not likely to transform the Union into an aggressive military bloc, as some people seem to fear.
Udsigten til et fælles forsvar eller i hvert fald definitionen af en fælles forsvarspolitik, hvis principper allerede er fastlagt i Maastricht-traktaten 38 , er således blevet mere realistisk.
Some people would certainly have liked to go further, particularly as far as qualified majority voting is concerned.
- Udvikling af målene for de såkaldte Petersberg-opgaver 39 ;
Positive changes have been made in the area of common commercial policy .
- Oprettelse af Det Europæiske Agentur for Udvikling af Forsvarskapaciteter, Forskning, Anskaffelse og Forsvarsmateriel 40 ;
Its scope has been extended as regards trade in services and intellectual property.
I forfatningen understreges det, at denne forpligtelse ikke berører den særlige karakter af visse medlemsstaters sikkerheds- og forsvarspolitik, hvilket for de traditionelt ”neutrale” stater er en væsentlig garanti;
Another question of fundamental importance is whether the new constitutional framework is sufficiently flexible to enable the Union to adjust to changing circumstances and meet new challenges that may arise in the future.
- Fastlæggelsen af en procedure med henblik på at sikre hurtig adgang til bevillinger på Unionens budget.
The new treaty makes a number of clear improvements to the revision procedure, first and foremost among which is the granting of a right of initiative as regards revision to Parliament, on the same basis as the Member States and the Commission.
3) I forfatningen indsættes endvidere en solidaritetsbestemmelse, i henhold til hvilken de andre medlemsstater yder bistand, såfremt en medlemsstat anmoder herom, hvis denne medlemsstat udsættes for et terrorangreb eller er offer for en naturkatastrofe.
It also places the Convention on an institutional footing as the body responsible for preparing revisions, in recognition of both the truly decisive role the Convention played in the drafting of the Constitution and the limitations of the intergovernmental method.
Reglerne for Unionens gennemførelse af solidaritetsbestemmelsen fastlægges af Rådet på fælles forslag af Kommissionen og EU-udenrigsministeren.
Parliament, which was the first to propose that the Convention method be used, cannot but welcome this change, which will help to make the revision procedure more transparent and democratic at the same time as making it more effective.
Nogle havde uden tvivl gerne set, at man gik længere, navnlig for så vidt angår kvalificeret flertal.
Revision of the Constitution will thus continue to require unanimity and ratification by all the Member States in all cases.
I lyset af dette områdes mellemstatslige karakter og den politiske virkelighed, som regeringskonferencen indskriver sig i, må det endelige resultat ikke desto mindre vurderes forholdsvist positivt.
Even though various proposals were put forward which enjoyed broad support in Parliament and among the national parliaments and would have made this requirement a little more flexible as regards the revision of the provisions of Part III (which are quite detailed and many of which are of questionable constitutional value) while complying with the fundamental principle that any further increase in the Union's competences would need to be unanimously approved by the Member States.
1) For så vidt angår Unionens optræden udadtil, skal de positive ændringer inden for den fælles handelspolitik endvidere understreges.
Conversely, Parliament cannot but welcome the retention of the 'bridging clauses' ('passerelles') which the Convention proposed for changes from unanimous voting to qualified majority voting within the Council or from special legislative procedures to the ordinary legislative procedure.
Anvendelsesområdet herfor er udvidet, for så vidt angår handel med tjenesteydelser og intellektuel ejendomsret.
Another positive aspect of the new constitutional text is the improvements made in connection with enhanced cooperation, the importance of which may increase in future in view of the substantial increase in the number of Member States.
Europa-Parlamentets rolle er styrket: Den almindelige lovgivningsprocedure finder anvendelse i forbindelse med gennemførelsen af den fælles handelspolitik; der aflægges regelmæssigt beretning til Europa-Parlamentet om forhandlingerne i forbindelse med internationale aftaler; sådanne aftaler kan kun gennemføres med Parlamentets godkendelse.
While establishing the conditions required to ensure the overall cohesion and institutional unity of the Union, the Constitution extends the scope of enhanced cooperation (which can now apply to all areas not covered by the exclusive competences of the Union, while under the current arrangements defence policy is excluded) and facilitates their establishment.
Det er værd at bemærke, at forfatningen stadfæster den såkaldte ”kulturelle undtagelse” 41 .
Enhanced cooperation must bring together at least one-third of the Member States, with the Council acting by a qualified majority except in common foreign and security policy matters, where unanimity will continue to be required.
2) Endelig kan Europa-Parlamentet, for så vidt angår humanitær bistand , glæde sig over etableringen af et særskilt retsgrundlag, der er undergivet den almindelige lovgivningsprocedure, hvorved der oprettes et frivilligt europæisk korps for humanitær bistand.
Furthermore, the requirement that Parliament's consent be sought (except in common foreign and security policy matters) will enhance the democratic legitimacy of the decision to establish such cooperation.
1) For så vidt angår revisionsproceduren, er der indlysende forbedringer i den nye traktat: Ikke alene tildeles Europa-Parlamentet initiativret til revision af traktaten på lige fod med medlemsstaterne og Kommissionen, men konventet institutionaliseres ligeledes som instans i forberedelsen af revisionen.
However, the fact that withdrawal is now explicitly provided for in the Constitution both lays down detailed arrangements for dealing with such a situation and sends out the clear message that no Member State is obliged to continue to be involved in the European project if its people no longer wish it to be involved.
2) Regeringskonferencen er desværre ikke gået så langt, som Europa-Parlamentet ønskede, for så vidt angår forenklingen af revisionsproceduren.
Article IV-447 states that if, two years after the commencement of any procedure for the ratification of changes to the treaty establishing the Constitution, one-fifth of the Member States have yet to complete the procedure or have encountered difficulties in proceeding with ratification (which also covers the possibility of the text having been rejected by one or more of them), the matter will be referred to the European Council.
3) En revision af forfatningen vil fortsat i alle tilfælde kræve enstemmighed og ratifikation i alle medlemsstater.
In the past, in cases where problems have occurred in some Member States during the procedure for ratifying earlier treaties, the matter has of course been referred to the European Council.
Visse forslag, som modtog bred støtte i Europa-Parlamentet og de nationale parlamenter, ville imidlertid have givet mulighed for at slække på dette krav, for så vidt angår revisionen af bestemmelserne i del III (som er forholdsvis detaljerede, og hvis forfatningsmæssige karakter ofte er tvivlsom), idet det grundlæggende princip om, at enhver udvidelse af Unionens kompetencer kræver enstemmighed blandt medlemsstaterne.
However, by including this provision in line with the Convention's proposals, the IGC wished to send out the political message that it would be difficult to accept that a small minority of Member States prevent the others from moving forward, particularly in view of that fact that the Constitution provides inter alia for the option of voluntary withdrawal from the Union and that of taking part in enhanced or structured cooperation, in which not all the Member States are required to be involved.
Kravet om Europa-Parlamentets godkendelse (undtagen inden for den fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik) styrker ligeledes den demokratiske legitimitet i beslutningen om at indføre et sådant samarbejde.
On the contrary, despite the shortcoming described above, its provisions are extremely ambitious, which is something that had appeared Utopian in the light of the political context in which the work was conducted since the Laeken Declaration set the process in motion in December 2001.
6) Det er ligeledes positivt, at regeringskonferencen på konventets forslag har bevaret en overgangsbestemmelse, der sigter mod kvalificeret flertal eller den almindelige beslutningsprocedure inden for forstærket samarbejde.
The consolidation of the constitutional foundations of the Union and its institutional framework and the rationalisation and simplification of its instruments are capable of at last bringing stability following two decades of permanent reform.
7) Frivillig udtræden af Unionen : For første gang i en af traktaterne om oprettelse af De Europæiske Fællesskaber, og hernæst Unionen, som – på nær den første, som oprettede Det Europæiske Kul- og Stålfællesskab – alle var indgået for en ubegrænset periode, men uden at der var fastlagt en procedure for kollektivt ophør eller en medlemsstats udtræden heraf, indføres der i forfatningens artikel I-60 en mekanisme for ”frivillig udtræden af Unionen”.
The stability and certainty that are a feature of all constitutional texts are complemented by provisions which both organise the development of the decision-making process and enable use to be made of enhanced and/or structured cooperation mechanisms providing the flexibility required to adjust the way in which the Union operates so as to enable it to tackle the challenges it will be facing in coming years.
Folkeretten inden for traktater gav ganske vist allerede i fravær af en specifik bestemmelse en hypotetisk mulighed herfor.
Above all, however, the Constitution enhances democracy within the European Union, fosters more effective decision-making, ensures greater clarity about who does what in the Union and the competences assigned on the one hand to the Union and on the other to the Member States.
Indførelsen af en sådan udtrykkelig bestemmelse i forfatningen er imidlertid – ud over at den fastlægger de præcise fremgangsmåder i forbindelse med en sådan situation – ligeledes et tydeligt og stærkt signal om, at ingen medlemsstat er forpligtet til fortsat at tage del i den fælles oplevelse, hvis dens befolkning ikke længere nærer ønske herom.
At the press conference that followed the closure of the Convention, the chairman, Mr Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, said that the European Parliament had emerged from the Convention as the winner.
Dette viser sammen med bestemmelserne om forstærket og struktureret samarbejde, at tiltrædelsen af Unionen og udviklingen af dens politikker er et frit valg, der er baseret på et reelt politisk engagement.
The rapporteurs consider the real winners to be the European public, because this Constitution represents the biggest step forward since the Treaties of Rome in 1957, because it consolidates our values and principles in a stimulating project for living together and because it provides the best means of jointly tackling today's challenges.
11.2 Det, der fastlægges i forfatningens artikel IV-443, kan således kun gælde fremover.
This should start with an active involvement in the debates taking place in connection with the ratification process.
11.3 I forbindelse med ratifikationen af nærværende traktat har regeringskonferencen vedtaget en politisk erklæring, som er indskrevet i slutakten, og som stort set gentager ordlyden af nævnte artikel IV-443.
The Union and the Member States can adopt legally binding acts, the Member States being able to do so insofar as the Union has not done so.
Senere vedtog stats- og regeringscheferne teksten, der vil blive forelagt alle medlemsstater til ratifikation.
III-136 : free movement of workers, social benefits – ordinary legislative procedure 46 (Art. 42 TEC : codecision – Council acting unanimously)
Dette har ellers forekommet urealistisk i lyset af det politiske klima, som arbejdet er foregået i, efter at de indledende skridt blev taget med Laeken-erklæringen i december 2001.
III-236, paragraph 2 : common transport policy (including cases covered by paragraph 3) – ordinary legislative procedure (Art. 71, paragraph 2 TEC – Council acts unanimously after consulting EP only in the case of the exceptions set out in paragraph 2) 7.
På pressekonferencen efter afslutningen af konventet konstaterede dets formand, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, følgende: Konventets vinder er Europa-Parlamentet.
III-270, paragraphs 1 and 2 : judicial cooperation in criminal matters – ordinary legislative procedure 47 (Art. 31, paragraph 1, points (a), (b), (c), (d) TEU – unanimity in Council and simple consultation of EP) 12.

I følge det såkaldte Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) vil den gennemsnitlige overfladetemperatur stige med 1,4 - 5,8°C i løbet af de næste 100 år.
III-312, paragraph 2 : establishing permanent structured cooperation in the area of defence – Council decision without Commission proposal, consultation of Minister for Foreign Affairs 23.
Det er almindeligt anerkendt, at udledningen af drivhusgasser, herunder især CO2, bærer en væsentlig del af skylden for de opståede klimaændringer.
III-312, paragraph 4 : suspension of a Member State from permanent structured cooperation in the area of defence – Council decision without Commission proposal (only participating Member States may vote) 25.
I den forbindelse har repræsentanter for EU deltaget i den 10.
The subject areas underlined are those for which the legal basis is completely new, or where there has been a change in procedure so that the relevant measures are now subject to the 'codecision'/ordinary legislative procedure.
Europa-Parlamentet skal vælge Europæisk Ombudsmand for de kommende fem
