PPE-gruppen stillede sig mest positiv, medens socialistgruppen ville vurdere det italienske formandskab på dets handlinger - og ikke dets løfter.
He stated that it was a great honour for Italy to take over the Presidency at this moment since Europe was now in the process of modernising and growing economically.
Venstrefløjen var mest skeptisk og den belgiske grønne Monica FRASSONI fastslog, at det italienske formandskab mødes af mistillid, og den franske kommunist Francis WURTZ understregede, at vi må være på vagt i de næste 6 måneder.
The Prime Minister paid tribute to Europe's abilities to overcome crises, its contribution to international law and to its technical expertise.
Da den italienske premierminister Silvio BERLUSCONI indledte sin tale var der flere MEP'er, der rejste sig i protest.
Above all, he said, Europe is about the art of negotiation and mediation.
Formanden for Europa-Parlamentet Pat COX henstillede til, at han ikke ville se flere af den slags protester.
However, he warned that negotiation sometimes led to bureaucratic stasis or stagnation.
Derefter gav han igen ordet til Berlusconi, der understregede at Italien har en historisk rolle i opbygningen af EU, og at Italien vil påtage sig sin rolle med både mod og ydmyghed.
On the European Convention, the Prime Minister welcomed what he called a " splendid " draft text and he also paid tribute to those participating in the Convention.
Berlusconi betegnede dagens Europa som " en stor tung ting, der påtager sig sit ansvar , også globalt".
As he put it, " it would enable Europe to avoid the Hamlet syndrome, Europe must have no doubts about its autonomy ."
Forholdet mellem EU og USA Berlusconi talte om de forskellige udfordringer, det italienske formandskab står overfor, herunder at overvinde forskelle medlemsstaterne imellem samt at sikre et tæt samarbejde med USA.
The Prime Minister also welcomed Javier SOLANA 's document on the future of European security and said that it set out a basis of how Europe can avoid the differences of the past as illustrated by the war in Iraq.
EU's forhold til USA var et dominerende tema i Berlusconi's tale.
Turning to the IGC, he called for the timetable set out in Thessaloniki to be respected.
Han sagde bl.a., at det er vigtigt at skabe en ærlig og åben dialog samt at udbygge de økonomiske, politiske og diplomatiske relationer mellem EU og USA.
He also stated, to applause, that representatives of the European Parliament would have a permanent role at the IGC and at the General Affairs Councils.
Berlusconi understregede, at der ikke er et modsætningsforhold mellem at være europæer og at have tætte relationer til USA.
The IGC, he also stated, must be short and avoid the excessive bureaucracy of previous IGCs.
Formandsskabets prioriteter Berlusconi fremhævede især tre prioriteter for det italienske formandskab:
Prime Minister Berlusconi, however, stated that Italy was honoured by the agreement that the signing of the next European Treaty, given its symbolic significance, would be in Rome.
Økonomisk vækst og velfærd,
A second priority, he said, would be to work on the sustainability of Europe's welfare systems.
Modernisering af arbejdsmarkedet.
The third priority of the Italian Presidency, he stated, would be stability and security.
Berlusconi sagde også, at formandskabet vil gøre alt for at minimere meningsforskelle medlemsstaterne imellem, for at den kommende regeringskonference kan overholde tidsplanen.
Re-launching and strengthening the Trans-Atlantic dialogue, would also be a priority of the Italian Presidency, he remarked.
Økonomisk vækst og velfærd Berlusconi lagde vægt på, at det er nødvendigt at støtte den europæiske økonomi ved at fremme private og offentlige investeringer.
Rebuilding Iraq, and the " road map " to peace in the Middle East, through co-operation would be the perfect opportunities to bring the two continents once more closer together.
Endvidere talte han for, at den europæiske infrastruktur udbygges og at forskning og teknologisk innovation fremmes.
The Prime Minster also stressed the importance of the EU's relationship with Latin America and Africa and called for increased trade.
Herunder sagde Berlusconi, at den menneskelige kapital er Europa's vigtigste ressource.
Turning to immigration and asylum, the Prime Minister, called for increased budgets as well as an integrated EU border police force.
Det italienske formandskab vil arbejde ud fra Lissabon-Strategien for at styrke EU's økonomiske konkurrenceevne på verdensplan.
He also said the Italian Presidency would take measures to strengthen Europol.
Modernisering af arbejdsmarkedet Berlusconi udtrykte bekymring for den stadig større andel af ældre i EU, og han sagde, at det er nødvendigt at øge antallet af ældre, der bliver på arbejdsmarkedet.
In conclusion, Mr Berlusconi, stated that Europe now had strong foundations, but with these foundations came increased responsibilities in the wider world.
Derudover talte han for en modernisering af arbejdsmarkedet, specielt hvad angår iværksætter-støtte til små og mellemstore virksomheder.
In his address, Commission President, Romano PRODI looked forward to continued progress under the Italian Presidency, especially with regards to completing the timetable for constitutional reforms, although he repeated his dissatisfaction with certain chapters in the Convention such as what, he felt, was a limited extension of qualified majority voting and he emphasised his determination to try to seek further changes here.
Berlusconi understregede, at det er centralt at understøtte det fri marked og den fri virksomhedsetablering.
Turning to the economy, while he recognised the difficulties caused by poor rates of growth in the European economy at the moment, he felt there was a need for closer co-operation with regard to economic and tax policy.
Europæisk Handicap-år 2003 Det italienske formandskab vil arbejde for at sikre, at de 38 millioner handicappede i EU får en bedre fremtid og ikke udsættes for diskrimination.
The Commission had played its part by introducing an element of flexibility into the Stability and Growth Pact, he said, before expressing concern at low rates of investment in R & D across the EU.
Eksterne relationer Berlusconi betegnede EU som en international stabilitetsfaktor, der skal styrke stabiliteten yderligere med indlemmelsen af Bulgarien og Rumænien inden udgangen af 2007.
He emphasised the target of reaching 3% of GDP and warned that, without achieving this, there was a danger of yet more of Europe's leading scientists moving abroad to pursue careers.
Ligeledes vil formandsskabet fortsætte EU's støtte til reformbestræbelserne i Tyrkiet.
In addition, he drew attention to the need to reach agreement in other areas such as the temporary workers and take-over directives as well as asylum procedures.
Berlusconi roste EU's og USA's rolle på Balkan , og talte for at EU etablerer stabilitetsaftaler med Balkan-landene for at sikre, at disse lande reformeres og moderniseres.
For the long-term, the Commission would be looking to putting together a new financial perspective to take account of the EU's needs post 2006.
Ligeledes lagde Berlusconi vægt på, at relationerne til Hviderusland, Moldova og Rusland udbygges.
For the EPP/ED, Hans-Gert POETTERING (D) expressed the hope that the welcome given to Mr Berlusconi at the beginning of the Presidency would be repeated in December.
Den muslimske verden Berlusconi understregede, at det er centralt at få etableret en Euro-Middelhavs dialog med lande syd for Middelhavet, for at fremme en dialog mellem forskellige kulturer og civilisationer.
He emphasised the importance of reaching agreement on a new constitution and underlined Italy's historic role in developing European integration, dating back to the Treaty of Rome in 1957.
Irak, Mellemøsten og kampen mod terror Berlusconi betegnede krigen i Irak som en prøvesten for hele Mellemøsten.
For the PES, Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (E) looked forward to a positive approach from the Italian Presidency that would hopefully bring results.
Samtidig understregede han, at EU skal optrappe sit samarbejde med Israel, arbejde for at implementere "Køreplan for fred" og kæmpe mod international terrorisme via et snævert samarbejde på tværs af Atlanten.
He welcomed what he saw was a change in priorities emphasising a more European approach and reminded the House of the European Parliament's obligation to make laws that were beneficial for all of Europe's citizens.
Latinamerika, Afrika og Asien Det italienske formandskab vil arbejde for at styrke de økonomiske relationer til Latinamerika, Afrika og Asien - "handel er kilden til velfærd" .
On the Convention, he felt there was still a need for " fine tuning " and he underlined the importance of the European Parliament being represented on the IGC.
International kriminalitet og Illegal indvandring Berlusconi understregede, at det italienske formandskab vil tage tråden op fra det græske formandskab og optrappe kampen mod international kriminalitet og illegal indvandring.
While he welcomed what, he felt, was something of a conversion by an Italian Conservative Government in pushing the idea of public investment in infrastructure, he did express some concern that Mr Berlusconi had not outlined any further ideas as to how the Lisbon objective could be achieved and, he added, there were concerns over such issues as financing the welfare state, especially pensions in an increasingly ageing population and immigration.
Formandskabet vil arbejde for at styrke den ydre grænsekontrol, revidere Europol og sikre hjemsendelsesaftaler med tredjelande.
Another issue of concern was media concentration and he pointed out that the Commission should be offering guarantees to ensure pluralism here.
Formanden for EU-Kommissionen Romano PRODI betegnede tidspunktet for det italienske formandskab som en afgørende periode i EU's liv .
For the Liberals, Graham WATSON (South West), after pointing out that the programme of the Italian Presidency was only available in English and Italian, looked forward to progress in negotiations on the Convention with proper representation from both the European and national parliaments, although he was concerned about the possibility of national governments continuing to argue about points of difference, especially at a time when the European economy was not in good shape.
Med disse ord hentydede han til, at det er i denne periode, forfatningsarbejdet skal afsluttes.
As to the Italian plans for major infrastructure projects, while he welcomed the idea, he emphasised that this should be seen as a means to securing growth and not an end in itself.
Prodi understregede, at ordet forfatning er centralt, da ratificeringen af forfatningstraktaten vil betyde, at EU får status som juridisk person .
On foreign relations, he looked to the Italian Presidency to take the lead in strengthening ties with countries such as Albania and indeed the whole Mediterranean area.
Endvidere vil det for første gang blive muligt for EU's borgere, at gennemskue kompetencefordelingen mellem EU og medlemsstaterne.
As to immigration and asylum, he took the view that there was a need for a balanced approach here and that a policy just based on repatriation would not work.
For få flertalsafgørelser Prodi udtrykte sin bekymring for EU's effektivitet i fremtiden, da afstemninger med kvalificeret flertal ikke er tilstrækkeligt tilgodeset i forfatningsudkastet.
It was then the turn of Francis WURTZ (F), speaking for the EUL/NGL to put on record those aspects of Italian society which he appreciated such as the fight to protect public services, workers' rights and indeed the anti-war stance recently shown by the Italian public at large.
Han advarede imod, at dette kan medføre konflikter mellem Rådet og Kommissionen.
He rejected all ideas of elitism and intolerance, before expressing reservations about the major infrastructure projects proposed.
Kommissionen vil fremlægge en redegørelse for problemet i september 2003 inden regeringskonferencens start.
While he recognised there was a need to modernise transport links in Europe, he was not convinced that the right priorities were being proposed under the Italian Presidency.
Ny strategi for nabolande I tråd med Berlusconi, talte Prodi om vigtigheden af, at få Balkan-landene integreret i EU.
Otherwise, he emphasised the importance of maintaining fundamental values such as respect for liberty, human rights and democracy.
Ifølge Prodi er Balkan-landene det vigtigste prioritetsområde for EU.
Monica FRASSONI (B), speaking for the Greens, concentrated on the issue of media concentration and called on the Commission to use its powers and ensure respect for pluralism in this area.
Prodi nævnte også landene syd for Middelhavet og særligt arbejdet med at implementere "Køreplan for fred" i Mellemøsten.
So far, she felt that the Commission had not acted strongly enough in applying the " TV across frontiers " legislation.
Forholdet til USA Prodi betegnede topmødet i Washington tidligere på året som et vendepunkt i forholdet mellem USA og EU: der blev udvist vilje til samarbejde og solidaritet på trods af meningsforskelle .
She too was another speaker who was not convinced of the value of launching new major infrastructure projects and indeed drew attention to the failure of previous " Tens " programmes.
Prodi understregede, at det er centralt at forvalte meningsforskellene mellem USA og EU ansvarligt.
There was a clear need to ensure respect for the environment and, she felt, Italy's record here left quite a lot to be desired.
Økonomi og handel EU's udfordring på det økonomiske felt er, at genskabe en stærk, velafbalanceret og varig økonomisk vækst i EU.
Otherwise she looked to the Italian Presidency using its influence with the USA and Russia to push for example for President Putin to ratify the Kyoto Treaty and the USA to show respect for the International Criminal Court.
Ifølge Prodi forudsætter dette bl.a. en reform af de europæiske sociale sikkerhedssystemer, der tager hensyn til den stigende andel af ældre i EU.
Cristiana MUSCARDINI (I), for the UEN group, called for the Italian Presidency to take a new approach to politics.
Endvidere er det vigtigt, at arbejde for en tæt koordinering af de økonomiske og skattemæssige områder i EU.
On the draft constitution, she stated that there should be a reference in the pre-amble to Europe's Greco-Roman / Judeo-Christian historic values as well as its secular traditions.
Dette medfører at højt-kvalificeret arbejdskraft udvandrer til USA.
She also called for tougher measures to be taken against organised crime and underlined the need for integrated border control.
EU-Kommissionen vil fremlægge et initiativ til, at investeringer indenfor forskning og udvikling af infrastruktur øges.
Finally, Mrs Muscardini drew attention to the issues of the right of life, the dangers of the Internet and the need for increased spending on research and development.
Opfølgning på det græske formandskab Det er vigtigt at det græske formandskabs arbejde færdiggøres.
For the EDD group Jens-Peter BONDE (DK), was concerned that the draft constitution had been drafted too quickly.
Herunder er der en del forslag, der skal vedtages.
He stated that not all the consequences of the text had been worked out.
Disse vedrører bl.a. indgåelse af offentlige kontrakter, miljøansvar, et fælles europæisk luftrum og harmonisering af asyl- og indvandringspolitikken.
He stated that the European Court of Justice often increased the weight of certain articles of the Treaties, and he cited the European citizenship articles in the Treaty of Maastricht as an example.
Positivt kritisk Under ordførerrunden sagde formanden for PPE-gruppen, den tyske CDU'er Hans-Gert PÖTTERING , at PPE-gruppen vil forholde sig objektivt og positivt kritisk over for det italienske formandskab, som han håbede ville blive succesfuldt.
J onathan EVANS (Wales), the leader of the British Conservatives, agreed with Mr Berlusconi that giving new impetus to the Lisbon Strategy should be the priority of the Italian Presidency.
Han mindede om, at Rom-traktaten var blevet underskrevet på Capitol i Rom den 25. marts 1957, og han håbede på en ny Rom-traktat inden udgangen af året.
At a time of deflation and stagnation, he stated, Europe should continue with major liberalisation of its markets to create sustainable jobs.
S-gruppen vil vurdere det italienske formandskab på baggrund af dets handlinger - og ikke dets løfter.
Gary TITLEY (PES, North West) was another speaker to comment on the lack of documentation from the Italian Presidency with regards to its programme for the next six months.
Falske forhåbninger?
He trusted that the present aims would be turned into reality.
Formanden for den liberale gruppe, skotten Graham WATSON understregede, at det er det italienske formandskabs opgave, at få forfatningen færdig, og han håbede, at man ville være lige så succesrige som det græske formandskab.
Other speakers in the debate such as Armando COSSUTTA (EUL/NGL, I) and Olle SCHMIDT (ELDR, S) took issue with specific policies of the Italian government such as the Prime Minister's control over the media, while Martin SCHULZ (PES, D) objected to statements on immigration from other members of the coalition government such as Mr Umberto Bossi.
Watson fastslog, at vi bør samarbejde snævert med EU's nye nabolande, men vi bør ikke give falske forhåbninger om EU-medlemskab .
Charles TANNOCK (EPP-ED, London) stated that he was a great friend of Italy and in particular Forza Italia and Alleanza Nazionale in the Italian parliament.
Den franske GUE'er Francis WURTZ pegede på "det andet Europa" - også i Italien - som vil prioritere almindelige mennesker ved at sætte dem over markedets krav, og som kæmper for lighed for loven og bekæmper elitisme, intolerance, racisme og fremmedhad, og som vil afskaffe fattigdom, miljøkatastrofer og krige.
However, he said that the fact that Italy, unlike the France and UK, did not have an embassy in Moldova was regrettable.
Men magthaverne i Rom står for det modsatte, fastslog Wurtz.
He welcomed the plans for greater investment in European transport infrastructure and called for a fast train service between Brussels and Strasbourg.
Berlusconis regering står tæt på USA og ønsker gigantiske infrastrukturprojekter, og man er ved at optrævle pensionsordningerne.
Proinsias DE ROSSA (PES, Dublin) stated it would be for the Italian electorate to finally judge the success of the Italian Presidency.
Den belgiske grønne Monica FRASSONI sagde, at det italienske formandskab blev mødt med mistillid .
He stressed the importance of transparent working methods within the IGC and for all information and documentation to be made available to the public.
Der foregår en uhyrlig økonomisk og politisk koncentration i Italien, hvor Berlusconi sætter sig selv over loven .
In his response to the debate, Prime Minister Berlusconi thanked in particular the EPP-ED group for their support for the work of the Italian Presidency and stated that in general the debate had been carried out in a well mannered way.
Hun håbede, at Kommissionen i efteråret vil komme med konkrete forslag om "Mediernes pluralisme i Europa".
He did however stress that the ambitious programme for investment in European transport infrastructure arose from a Keynesian approach to increased economic demand.
Frassoni pegede på, at den italienske regering vil bygge broer, tunneller og motorveje, men mange projekter er ikke nyttige, og økonomisk vækst er ikke altid forbundet med øget transport.
September 11, he said, had dealt a severe blow to stock markets around the world, and the European Investment Bank would have to raise both public and private financing for the projects.
Hun understregede, at Berlusconi ønsker en "total deregulering", som bygger på en forældet opfattelse af miljøet.
To the critics of his government, Mr Berlusconi stated that he had inherited an unprecedented difficult situation, and that his government had passed more than 350 reform bills.
Den italienske UEN'er Christiana MUSCARDINI pegede på, at kløften mellem nord og syd uddybes, ligesom kløften mellem rige og fattige.
Turning to the comments made by Mr Schulz earlier in the debate on Italy's immigration policy, Mr Berlusconi said that he knew of an Italian director who was making a film on Nazi concentration camps, and that Mr Schulz would be the ideal lead.
Hun lagde vægt på, at den moralske og kulturelle kraft styrkes, og at vi ikke må glemme uddannelse og kultur, som Europas vej mod globalisering.
Mr Berlusconi also rejected criticisms that Italy was subservient to the US and stated that Italy gave its full support to the UN for its reconstruction efforts in Iraq.
