Udover de ovennævnte prioriteter for det græske formandskab, kom Simitis ind på den fælles landbrugspolitik, og fremhævede at den nye aftale sikrer bedre miljø, folkesundhed, fødevaresikkerhed og dyresundhed.
The Commission's new programme to run from 2004 through to 2008 would need extensive funding, he added, but was based on a balanced approach designed to guarantee security and ensure freedom at the same time.
Endvidere står EU nu med et godt udgangspunkt forud for de kommende WTO-forhandlinger.
Some €140m would be needed for the 2004-2006 period and €250m for a co-operation programme with third countries from 2004-2008.
Tilfredsstillende afslutning på det græske formandskab Formanden for EU-Kommissionen Romani PRODI indledte sin tale med at lykønske det græske formandskab for dets resultater.
A new visa identification system would be going ahead, he added, and while he recognised that it had not been possible under the Greek Presidency to reach agreement on such issues as the definition of refugees, he looked forward to these questions being taken up and tackled under the Italian Presidency.
Konventet Prodi fremhævede, at Konventet's arbejde markerer en milepæl i EU's historie, da det er første gang, at EU's fremtid er blevet diskuteret offentligt .
On immigration and asylum, while he recognised the need to step up patrols on the EU's external borders, he felt it was vital to adopt a balanced approach and not just concentrate on policing.
Han omtalte såvel positive som negative aspekter i forfatningsudkastet.
In other words, it was necessary to improve conditions and reforms in those countries where immigrants to Europe were coming from.

Charteret om Grundlæggende Menneskerettigheder indskrives for at sikre borgernes rettigheder.
Further progress had also been made in the area of employment, especially with regard to promoting equality.
Prodi udtrykte utilfredshed med, at afstemninger med kvalificeret flertal ikke er vidtgående nok i udkastet, og at dette risikerer at underminere EU's handlekraft i fremtiden.
He too saw the CAP reforms as a major step forward, enabling the EU to face future negotiations at the WTO with optimism While he recognised that progress had been made in the Convention, he did say he would have preferred to have seen a better institutional balance and a stronger European dimension in the social and tax areas.
Prodi talte om at overvinde frygten for nue t og i stedet udvise mod til at skabe et slagkraftigt EU i fremtiden: "Hvis vi ikke tager skridtet i dag, vil Europa ikke spille nogen rolle på den internationale scene om tredive-fyrre år.".
While he welcomed the agreement on a Statute for political parties, he noted that this had not been accompanied by a similar agreement on the Statute for MEPS.
Reform af Kommissionen En væsentlig del af reformen af Kommissionen har været, at revidere vedtægten for EU-ansatte.
For the Liberals, Graham WATSON (South West) stated that the Greek Presidency, on the whole, should be seen in a very positive light.
Formålet med revisionen har været, at sikre tjenestemandsfunktionens kontinuitet, uafhængighed og kvalitet.
In particular, Mr Watson welcomed the signing of the Accession treaties and the 7 successful referenda in the various accession states.
Prodi roste det græske formandskab for at have bidraget til, at man er nået frem til et kompromis på området, der omfatter de væsentligste målsætninger i Kommissionens oprindelige forslag.
On the other hand, he regretted that for Cyrus, agreement on reunification was not possible.
Det er hensigten, at den nye vedtægt skal træde i kraft 1. maj 2004.
He also paid tribute to the Greek Presidency's handling of the Iraq crisis including the arrival at two common positions.
Indvandrings- og Asylpolitik I tråd med Simitis lagde Prodi vægt på, at sikre de finansielle midler til at gennemføre en fælles indvandrings- og asylpolitik.
He was also of the opinion that the draft constitution formed a good basis for negotiation at the forthcoming IGC.
EU-Kommissionen har anslået, at der bør sættes 250 millioner Euro af til et flerårigt samarbejdsprogram med tredjelande i perioden 2004-2008.
Europe's weaknesses in defence spending had been underlined by the Iraq crisis, he remarked, and he stated that the creation a European armaments agency would help to solve this problem.
Kommissionen har foreslået, at der oprettes et agentur, der skal arbejde med sikring af de ydre grænser.
Mr Watson welcomed the concept of " prevention rather than pre-emption " when it came to Europe's security strategy.
Prodi udtrykte bekymring over, at det ikke er lykkedes Rådet at nå til enighed om en definition af flygtningebegrebet.
On Justice and Home Affairs, he called for greater parliamentary scrutiny particularly with regard to the EU-US extradition agreement.
De europæiske partier er centrale i EU's demokratiske struktur: "De fremmer integrationen og en europæisk bevidsthed ."
He completely rejected the concept of " pre-emptive strikes " and questioned whether Europeans were capable of working together with the current US administration.
Akropolis Under ordførerrunden sagde formanden for PPE-gruppen, den tyske CDU'er Hans-Gert PÖTTERING , at hans gruppe havde en positiv holdning til det græske formandskab, hvor højdepunktet havde været underskrivelsen af tiltrædelseserklæringerne ved Akropolis den 16. april.
He stated that European civilisation was at stake and that the EU should take a distinct approach to security which was not based primarily on military intervention.
Pöttering fastslog, at det græske formandskab havde været overskygget af Irak-krigen.
For the Greens/EFA group, Johannes VOGGENHUBER (A) stated that Greece had achieved more than many had expected given the difficult international environment.
Men vi må lære af vore fejl, og han mente, at vi kunne drage følgende konklusioner af uenigheden om Irak-krigen:
He focussed on the draft constitution and stated that the remaining work to be carried out by the Convention in July was fundamental to whether the EU would be capable of achieving its plausible aims.
de nationale holdninger skal afstemmes i tide , og vi må handle i fællesskab.
He called for a greater role for the European Parliament in particular in the area of social policy.
EU-landene må ikke stå med 2,3,4 eller 5 forskellige holdninger,
Gerard COLLINS (Munster), for the UEN group, welcomed the achievements of the Greek Presidency.
det er nødvendigt med beslutninger med kvalificeret flertal i udenrigspolitikken ,
He paid tribute to the work carried out by the Convention, and he stated that Greece had shown that it was possible for the smaller Member States to run a successful Presidency.
Formanden for socialistgruppen spanieren Enrique BARON fastslog, at det græske formandskab ikke havde været et krydstogt - men en Odyssé, hvor man havde udvist lederskab og beslutsomhed .
He quipped that Prime Minister Simitis should now take a well-deserved rest in one of the Greek islands.
Det græske formandskab fortjente anerkendelse og hyldest.
Jens-Peter BONDE (DK), for the EDD group, focussed on the inequalities in income between the present Member States and the accession countries.
Underskrivelsen af tiltrædelsestraktaterne ved Akropolis den 16. april havde været en historisk begivenhed.
He also pointed out that Poland's agricultural policy would be fundamentally changed by accession with a number of abattoirs closing, and questioned where these abattoirs worker would find work.
Baron glædede sig over enigheden om en statut for de europæiske politiske partier, men beklagede uenigheden om en statut for MEP'erne .
He also stressed the importance of increasing the turnout at the next European elections.
Det betyder, at man har en ordning for hæren, men ikke for soldaterne.
However, he felt that draft constitution gave more power to the " bureaucrats in Brussels ".
"Olympisk niveau" Formanden for den liberale gruppe skotten Graham WATSON understregede, at der havde været meget mere positivt end negativt under det græske formandskab.
Charles de GAULLE (IND, F), a non-aligned Member, stated that the draft constitution had been drawn up behind closed doors by the Convention's Presidium.
Han beklagede dog, at det ikke var lykkedes at nå frem til et fælles Cypern i EU.
He called for all references to "c onstitution, constituent, federal, framework law, shared competencies, subsidiarity, legal personality, citizenship " to be deleted.
Watson mente, at det græske formandskab havde nået et "olympisk niveau" , og at det havde været 6 nyttige måneder for EU.
Jonathan EVANS (Wales), speaking on behalf of the British Conservatives, drew attention to the historic landmark agreement on enlargement which he strongly supported, before pointing to weaknesses in the past six months such as the meeting on defence questions, in the context of the Iraq war, between Germany, France, Belgium and Luxembourg which, he saw, as undermining NATO.
Magtesløse Den franske GUE'er Francis WURTZ tog afstand fra Thessaloniki-beslutningen om udenrigspolitik, idet vi ikke skal efterligne ham, der bor til leje i det Hvide Hus.
He also regretted the absence of substantial progress with economic structural reforms and very much doubted whether the concentration on institutional reform was meaningful to EU citizens.
USA accepterer os ikke, men vi skal bruge vor indflydelse til at skabe andre regler end dem, USA søger at tvinge igennem.
He saw this as little more than " optimistic rhetoric " by the European political elite increasingly remote and removed from the real concerns of the public.
Wurtz sluttede med at fastslå, at de europæiske borgere er magtesløse over for USA's hensynsløse krigsførelse.
Furthermore, agreement in the Convention on, for example, dismantling the pillar structure, introducing a common asylum system and European public prosecutor went far beyond a mere " tidying up " exercise as described by the British Prime Minister.
Thessaloniki: En succes Den østrigske grønne Johannes VOGGENHUBER pegede på, at det græske formandskab havde været en succes i en vanskelig periode.
The results, he maintained, should be put to a national referendum in the UK, before expressing his preference for a Europe built on the nation state and intergovernmentalism, which he stressed was " no less European " than other models.
Også topmøde i Thessaloniki havde været en succes, og han fandt det berigende med de roterende formandskaber.
He trusted that the new Member States would have an equal say in the IGC and indeed proper voting rights.
Voggenhuber mente, at borgerne i Europa forventer meget mere af EU, end de nationale regeringer er parate til at acceptere.
Andrew DUFF (ELDR, Eastern), on the other hand, expressed satisfaction that the European Council had resisted a temptation to water down the Convention, although he recognised that there was a need for some technical improvements in Part 3 of the document.
Beslutsomhed og følsomhed Den irske UEN'er Gerard COLLINS understregede, at det græske formandskab havde udvist beslutsomhed og følsomhed , og at man havde søgt en fælles politisk holdning under Irak-krisen.
It was vital to extend qualified majority voting, he felt, to enable Council to be in a decision taking position.
Collins pegede på, at det er nødvendigt med mere moderne strukturer i EU inden udvidelsen med de nye medlemslande den 1. maj 2004.
He noted that the EU leaders had not commented on Part 4 or procedures for revising the Treaty in the future.
Vi skal have strømlinede beslutninger, så vi kan sikre, at EU kan fungere gnidningsløst i de næste 50 år.
The EU, he warned, risked being trapped in a straitjacket, if future revisions could only be brought about through unanimity and ratification of national parliaments.
Mere magt til Bruxelles-bureaukraterne?
He appealed for flexibility.
Jens-Peter BONDE fra JuniBevægelsen erindrede om, at man i Thessaloniki havde haft et topmøde med landene i Vestbalkan, og disse lande skal være hjerteligt velkomne i EU.
Neil MacCORMICK (Greens/EFA, Scotland), on the other hand, after praising the work of the Greek Presidency, which he felt underlined the fact that a small country could indeed take over the helm for six months, took issue with the notion that the new Council President would play a powerful role in the future EU.
Bonde pegede på, at der næste er 25 medlemslande i EU, og måske vil der være 35 medlemslande i 2010.
Such a president, he pointed out, would not have unique legislative powers since he would have to work with other government leaders and, he felt, that the Commission President would continue to enjoy a strong position.
Bonde fastslog, at EU i praksis lovgiver for nabolande, og det er nødvendigt med smidige beslutningsstrukturer.
But, he warned, there must be genuine respect for subsidiarity and democracy at all levels if a future enlarged EU was to be successful.
Han mente, at østlandene får en del problemer, når de kommer i EU, bl.a. må de fleste af slagterierne i Polen lukke
Regions such as Scotland and Catalonia should feel comfortable in an arrangement which comprised similar size nation states such as Latvia or Slovenia.
Bonde kritiserede Konventets forfatningsudkast for at tage magten fra vælgerne i medlemslandene, og at give den til bureaukraterne i Bruxelles.
Jean LAMBERT (Greens/EFA, London) welcomed the annex of the Council conclusions relating to weapons of mass destruction but stressed that the principles outlined should apply to all nations and not just those who the EU or the US considered to be " unfriendly ."
Ligeledes vil de nationale parlamenter og vælgerne i medlemslandene miste mere magt , end den magt man giver til Europa-Parlamentet.
Mrs Lambert also welcomed the progress on the temporary workers directive, but pointed out that this was currently blocked in Council.
MacCormick-betænkningen:Nej til at ophæve Mogens Camres immunitet
Mrs Lambert also stressed the importance of dealing with tax evasion as many large co-operations were escaping from paying contributions to national budgets.
Ordfører: Neil MacCORMICK (Verts/ALE, UK)
Baroness Sarah LUDFORD (ELDR, London) welcomed a more " enlightened approach " to legal migration exercised by the Greek Presidency.
Anmodning om ophævelse af Daniel Marc Cohn-Bendits immunitet
She stated that the debate on immigration up until now had focussed too strongly on control and rejection rather than on the positive aspects of immigration.
I en betænkning af den skotske grønne Neil MacCORMICK nægter Europa-Parlamentet at ophæve Mogens Camres parlamentariske immunitet.
Baroness Ludford also said the key to immigration policy was creating opportunities for developing countries and that the CAP was a hindrance to this aim, she therefore called for greater reform of the CAP.
Baggrunden for "Camre-sagen" er en tale, som Mogens Camre holdt på Dansk Folkepartis landsmøde i Vejle 15.-16. september 2001.
Lastly, she suggested that some agreement should be reached on the return of the Elgin Marbles before the Athens Olympics next year.
EP vedtog MacCormick-betænkningen med 492 stemmer mod 48 - medens 18 undlod at stemme.
This could form a firm basis for negotiations at the forthcoming IGC but he warned against any attempts to pick it apart.
Camres udtalelser I Vejle sagde Mogens Camre bl.a.: "Alle vestens lande er infiltreret af muslimerne - og nogle af dem taler pænt til os, medens de venter på at blive tilstrækkeligt talrige til at få os fjernet - som i Sudan, Indonesien, Nigeria og på Balkan ...
He noted that there was still a need to look again at the question of qualified majority voting.
Der går en lige linie fra den usle voldtægtsmand, over ham der omskærer sin datter, tvinger sin hustru til at bære tørklæde og til ham, der i religiøs fanatisme flyver et passagerfly ind i World Trade Center.
Replying to the debate, Prime Minister Simitis again stressed that the draft constitution was a good basis for negotiation.
Fælles for dem er hadet til andre mennesker - et had, der er begrundet i en syg ideologi".
Adjustments would still be necessary and the work of the Convention in July would focus on the policy instruments of the Union.
Artikel 10 a i protokollen EP's begrundelse for at afvise ophævelse af Mogens Camres parlamentariske immunitet er, at han begik de påståede strafbare handlinger under og i forbindelse med et møde afholdt af hans nationale politiske parti i Danmark, og derfor finder bestemmelserne i artikel 9 i protokollen om privilegier og immuniteter ikke anvendelse.
Replying to the debate, President Prodi returned to the question of asylum and immigration which, he emphasised, was essentially a European problem needing a European solution rather than national action and, he added, a policy based on law enforcement on its own would not solve the problem.
I stedet skal man anvende artikel 10 a i protokollen, som fastslår, at MEP'erne under Europa-Parlamentets mødeperioder ... på deres eget lands område nyder de immuniteter, der tilstås medlemmerne af dette lands lovgivende forsamling.
There was a need for clarification of the legal system and there could be no toleration for what he termed a new " slave trade ".
Danske grundlovs § 57 Den danske grundlovs § 57 har følgende ordlyd: "Intet medlem af Folketinget kan uden dettes samtykke tiltales eller underkastes fængsling af nogen art, medmindre han er grebet på fersk gerning.
As to relations with the USA, he said recent talks showed that the Americans were willing to listen to Europe's point of view and indeed had been impressed by the enlargement process and the successful launch of the euro.
For sine ytringer i Folketinget kan intet af dets medlemmer uden Folketingets samtykke drages til ansvar uden for samme".
The EU's strategy for action in the Balkans had also been appreciated by the US, he added, concluding with the remark that Europe could be successful when it spoke with one voice.
