Rådets formandskab
Changes in the last 60 days Presidency of the Council
"Europeans - working together" Formanden for Rådet, den irske premierminister Bertie AHERN lagde i sin tale til Europa-Parlamentet særlig vægt på, at det irske formandskab vil prioritere et tæt samarbejde med alle EU's institutioner og særligt Europa-Parlamentet.
He also said that the Presidency was totally committed to working intensively with the Parliament at all levels.
Forfatningstraktat: primære mål Ahern fremlagde det irske formandskabs konkrete prioriteter, hvoraf afslutningen af regeringskonferencen om en forfatningstraktat for EU er den vigtigste .
There was, he said, important work to be done: to ensure that the Union can take advantage of the global economic recovery and foster more and better jobs for our people; to take measures allowing our citizens to live and move freely throughout the EU in safety and security; to ensure the Union can play a positive and constructive role in the world.
Ahern sagde, at man vil påbegynde dette arbejde med det samme, da en ny forfatningstraktat for EU er fundamental for at "sikre et EU tæt på borgerne" .
Regarding the IGC, the Taoiseach argued that a new Constitution was fundamental to the aim of a more democratic, more accountable, more transparent and more effective Union.
Ahern understregede, at man ikke vil acceptere "dødvande i forhandlingerne" , men at det irske formandskab derimod vil tage de nødvendige skridt for at sikre succes.
Integrating the new Member States and ensuring that the Council continues to function effectively will be a high priority.
Udvidelsen: 1. maj i Dublin Ahern sagde, at det er en stor ære for det irske formandskab, at kunne byde de 10 nye medlemslande velkomne ved en ceremoni i Dublin den 1. maj 2004 .
He added that the Presidency would be working in relation to Romania and Bulgaria with the aim of concluding negotiations by the end of the year.
Ahern understregede også, at det irske formandskab vil arbejde aktivt hen imod en yderligere udvidelse af EU - i første omgang med Rumænien og Bulgarien - og senere med Tyrkiet.
Mr Ahern also welcomed Turkey's efforts to fulfil the necessary criteria with a view to a decision being taken in December.
Ahern fremhævede, at det er centralt at skabe flere og bedre arbejdspladser i EU , og at det er nødvendigt at opnå reelle fremskridt på dette område.
In the field of justice and home affairs, the Taoiseach promised to focus on the delivery of the Tampere programme and the outstanding requirements of the Amsterdam Treaty.
Ahern roste de igangværende reformer, der finder sted i medlemsstaterne, men understregede samtidig, at det er nødvendigt at der gennemføres yderligere reformer , hvis målene i Lissabon-strategien skal indfries.
This was, he said, a wide-ranging agenda including asylum, immigration, police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters, and civil law cooperation. "
Endvidere understregede han, at EU skal samarbejde tæt med FN for at forebygge internationale konflikter og forhindre spredningen af masseødelæggelsesvåben.
The Taoiseach focussed on EU-US relations: the world, he said, was a better and safer place when the EU and US worked together, pooling their considerable energy and resources to achieve shared goals based on their shared values.
USA og Mellemøsten Det irske formandskab vil ligeledes arbejde aktivt for at forbedre og udbygge forholdet til og samarbejdet med USA , da EU og USA deler fælles mål og værdier.
The Presidency would continue to focus EU-US relations on what we can and should achieve together: including such areas as the Middle East, Iraq, Afghanistan and effective multilateralism, as well as the extensive trade and economic agenda.
Ahern fremhævede, at formandskabet vil fortsætte fredsprocessen i Mellemøsten i overensstemmelse med "Road-map for fred".
Regarding the Middle East, Mr Ahern said work would continue to promote the implementation of the Road Map as the basis for progress towards a just a lasting two-state solution.
Rusland og Afrika Ahern understregede, at samarbejdet med Rusland skal udvides for at sikre fred, sikkerhed og stabilitet.
Mr Ahern said that enlargement gave new impetus to the strategic relationship with Russia, with whom our security and wellbeing were increasingly intertwined: the EU-Russia summit would be an opportunity to set a course for the future relationship.
I den forbindelse fremhævede han den positive rolle NGO'er og det civile samfund kan spille.
The EU should, he said, set an example in poverty alleviation, the fight against infectious diseases and environmental degradation.
Afrika ligger også det irske formandskab på sinde , herunder vil man arbejde for at hjælpe de ca. 30 mio. afrikanere, der er smittet med Hiv og AIDS.
The Presidency would also be working with the Council and Commission to achieve progress on re-launching the Doha trade talks process, he said.
I forbindelse med konfliktløsning i Afrika understregede Ahern, at det er centralt at udenrigs- og udviklingspolitikken er sammenhængende.
Mr Ahern asserted that the founding fathers of the EU were inspired by the dream of a future in which Europeans would never again fight each other to the death over resources, territory or beliefs; a future in which Europeans would never again be divided from each other.
Prodi fremhævede udvidelsen af EU den 1. maj 2004 i Dublin som en festdag , der vil blive yderligere understreget af den glade og venlige irske befolkning.
There would be institutional changes, with the European Parliament elections in the middle of June and the completion of this Commission’s term of office at the end of October.
Prodi sagde, at udvidelsen af EU vil medføre store ændringer af EU's institutioner, og at Kommissionen i slutningen af februar 2004 vil fremlægge navnene på de nye kommissærer for EP .
Lastly, this Presidency, he said, would see the completion of the enlargement and the EU would also need to make progress on the Constitutional Treaty and in its strategy for growth.
Udvidelsen: Et bjergpas Prodi sammenlignede udvidelsen med et bjergpas - fra passet ser man nye horisonter og således vil EU se nye naboer efter den 1. maj 2004 .
Turning to enlargement, he stated that after years of careful preparation, the 1st May would be a day of celebration.
I den forbindelse understregede Prodi, at samarbejdet med EU's nye naboer skal styrkes for at sikre fred og sikkerhed.
At a practical level, the Commission, he said, was continuing to prepare the internal organisation of the Commission.
Den europæiske model: sikre fred i verden Ifølge Prodi skal den europæiske model ikke blot omfatte europæiske lande, men også lande i f.eks. Latinamerika.
The objective, he underlined, was clearly to integrate the new members in the team from 1 st May, once they had been approved by Parliament.
Hermed understregede Prodi, at verden er blevet et mere usikkert sted i de seneste år , og at den europæiske model for fred, sikkerhed og velstand derfor skal udbredes.
Turning to international affairs, the President stated that the Union must further develop its relationship with the United Nations and try to find more common ground with all the major players on the world scene, starting with the United States and Russia.
Prodi udtrykte i den forbindelse sin glæde over, at det irske formandskab vil udbygge det internationale, globale samarbejde.
The Union should work together with the Member States to help Secretary-General Kofi Annan – whom we will be meeting in two weeks’ time – to push ahead with the reform of the United Nations, an organisation the EU wants to be strong, effective and present wherever peace is under threat, wherever there are populations in need of aid and wherever human rights need protecting.
Prodi understregede, at konflikter rundt omkring i verden, i højere grad skal løses politisk (og ikke blot militært), og at humanitær hjælp og respekt for menneskerettighederne er centrale aspekter i en sådan politik.
He also said that he agreed with the proposals made by the Irish Presidency that the Union should concentrate on humanitarian aid, respect for human rights and on the political, economic and social factors that foment violence and war.
Forfatningstraktat: i 2004!
2004 must be the year of the new European Constitution.
Prodi understregede, at 2004 skal blive den nye forfatningstraktats år .
After several difficult years it seems that the economy is finally picking up.
Han udtrykte stor tiltro til, at Ahern er manden, der kan lede forhandlingerne til succes.
The climate is therefore right for stimulating economic activity.
Prodi understregede, at en stærk og hel integration er altafgørende for EU's fremtid .
This is not the place, he said for repeating any analysis of the objectives set out in the Presidency’s programme, which he promised, would have this Commission’s full support.
Uddannelse og forskning Prodi var ligeledes inde på de økonomiske aspekter i EU-samarbejdet .
The Spring Council would continue along the route mapped out in the Lisbon strategy, which remained the only course that can enable Europe and its economy to maintain its prosperity, security and social justice in a globalised world.
Svaret på de økonomiske problemer er for Prodi investeringer i uddannelse, forskning og livslang læring , så EU kan opnå sit mål om at blive den førende økonomi i verden.
Investment in education, lifelong learning and research were not abstract problems, they are an objective that must be pursued now because the EU's international competitors are overtaking us or have already done so.
Prodi fremhævede, at troen på fremtiden er afgørende - en forestilling, der skal virkeliggøres .
If the EU looked beyond the here and now, it was clear that growth depends primarily on developing human resources and knowledge.
Han opfordrede til en endnu stærkere fælles europæisk indsats for at opfylde Lissabon-målene.
President Prodi once again stressed the need to create research centres of excellence in Europe that are the best in the world.
Prodi afsluttede sin tale med at fremhæve, at det er centralt, at der skabes gunstige uddannelses- og arbejdsvilkår for de unge, da de unges succes er en forudsætning for samfundets - og dermed EU's - overlevelse .
They must, he said, become the vital symbol of our belief in the future and that here in Europe we are capable of planning for the future and making it happen.
Respekt for hinanden!
National strategies alone would not produce cutting-edge research.
Formanden for PPE-gruppen, den tyske CDU'er Hans-Gert PÖTTERING pegede på, at sympati, effektivitet og professionalisme danner udgangspunktet for et succesrigt irsk EU-formandskab, som han bød hjerteligt velkommen.
Europe must once again become what it was for centuries: the point of reference for young researchers throughout the world.
Han understregede, at vedtagelsen af forfatningen er det eneste højt prioriterede mål for PPE-gruppen.
What is more, the EU must find a way to enable young Europeans who are currently specialising elsewhere to return to Europe once they have finished their studies.
Vi må finde frem til et kompromis , og alle må bevæge sig, og det "dobbelte flertal" er ikke et ubrydeligt princip, fastslog Pöttering.
Young people must be able to find in Europe the opportunities to study, work and be successful that are their right. "
Han advarede mod tanken om et "Kerne-Europa" , som vil blive opfattet som en trussel.
I must stress that I am not speaking only in their interests; this is the key to our very survival.
Pöttering fastslog, at man efter valget til EP - 10.-13. juni 2004 - bør tage hensyn til resultatet ved udnævnelsen af formanden for den nye EU-Kommission, som tiltræder den 1. november 2004.
This must be the aim of our policies and the basis of our efforts to satisfy the expectations of the people of Europe ," he said.
Det gjorde man ikke i 1999, hvor nogle vandt valget, medens andre fik de vigtige poster i Kommissionen (Red.: Alle i salen smilede - også formanden for EU-Kommissionen Romano Prodi!).
Hans-Gert POETTERING (D), speaking for the EPP-ED group, welcomed the Irish Presidency and stated that so far all parties had worked in a conducive atmosphere.
Om forholdet til USA sagde han, at vi vil ikke være vasaller, men vi er ikke modstandere af USA - vi ønsker derimod at være ligeberettigede partnere, men det kræver, at vi europæere står sammen i enighed!
The EPP-ED group's priority for the Irish Presidency was reaching agreement over the Constitution and he offered his group's full support for this objective.
Pöttering fastlog, at vi bør have respekt for hinanden i EU - store som små lande - og ingen må dominere de andre.
He stated that he supported the principal of " dual majority " for reaching decisions within Council.
Alle må yde deres bidrag, sluttede Hans-Gert Pöttering.
His group, he stated, was totally opposed to the ideas of a two or multi-speed Europe and questioned how this could function in reality.
"Skynd-dem-langsomt"-holdning Formanden for socialistgruppen, spanieren Enrique BARON var glad for, at Irland har overtaget EU-formandskabet, for vi står ved en korsvej i EU's historie.
Turning to the forthcoming European elections, he called for "top jobs" including the Commission President and Commissioners to reflect the outcome of the European elections.
Irland er en troværdig samtalepartner med stor erfaring, og det kommer efter et italiensk EU-formandskab, som var vild med store fanfarer og falbelader.
He also called for the EU to stand as an equal to but distinct from the US and underlined the importance for the respect for human rights especially in relation to Guantanamo Bay and Chechnya.
Baron var glad for Bertie Aherns "skynd-dem-langsomt"-holdning og hans beslutsomme, forsigtige, men faste holdning - for nu skal vi konsolidere det udvidede EU!
Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (E), for the PES group, stated that Ireland had taken over the EU Presidency at an important crossroads in European history.
Baron fastslog, at Irland på det økonomiske område er et eksempel - til efterfølgelse - for udvidelsen, og at det irske formandskab nu får en vigtig opgave i at få stabilitets- og vækstpagten på plads.
He recalled that Ireland had played a key role with its Presidency at the beginning of the 1990s in working towards the Maastricht Treaty.
"Den keltiske tiger" Formanden for den liberale gruppe, skotten Graham WATSON understregede, at EU befinder sig på et "historisk tidspunkt" , og at vi bør udnytte forandringens muligheder.
Mr Barón Crespo stated that has he was satisfied that European Council would now be lead by " an experienced and reliable leader " making reference to the previous Italian Presidency.
Det er nødvendigt med en forfatningstraktat.
He also stressed the importance of reaching agreement on the MEPs' Statute.
Vi kan således ikke blive ved med at smøre den gamle motor - det er nødvendigt med en ny motor i EU! .
Mr Barón Crespo underlined that the Irish Presidency would be responsible for negotiation of the next financial perspective for the EU and this would be an opportunity for the Irish government to show its solidarity with the new Member States.
Og man tør ikke åbent sige, at EU er i krise .
He also called for the Stability and Growth Pact to be reconstituted " in some form ."
Wurtz pegede på 3 "tabuer":
Mr Watson welcomed the focus of improving the economic situation in Africa.
Krisen om stabilitets- og vækstpagten , som gør det nødvendigt at ændre reglerne ved en gennemgribende reform,
On Russia, Mr Watson was concerned that the country was moving away from political pluralism.
De finansielle overslag: De 6 rigeste lande vil fra 2007 have en øvre grænse for EU's udgifter på 1 % af BNI (bruttonationalindkomsten) og
Francis WURTZ (F) for the GUE/NGL group described the blockage at the IGC as a symptom of a lack of common objectives.
Den ydre krise: Uenighed om Irak , hvor man har løjet om masseødelæggelsesvåben.
We needed, he said, to move beyond taboos and jargon and speak the language of truth to overcome what was a real crisis.
Irak-krisen viser, at en stormagt kan vinde en krig alene - men ikke freden.
There was an external crisis too, and it was time, he said to recognise that we were told lies about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, where the occupation was stimulating rather than preventing terrorism - a superpower could win a war but not the peace.
EU bør påtage sig en mere levende rolle.
The EU must do more to help those Israelis and Palestinians ready to make peace and to support Latin American countries in their longing for democracy.
Hele verden ser på Europa, og vi bør selv gribe chancen - som en modvægt til det Hvide Hus.
Daniel Marc COHN-BENDIT (Greens/EFA, F) asked a straightforward question: are we capable of facing up to the future?
Wurtz sluttede med at udtrykke forhåbninger om, at det irske EU-formandskab vil lytte til kritikken af EU.
He mocked the idea that the Convention process had been successful, since Europe was still unable to agree on how decisions would be taken in future.
Stabilitetspagten er "dum"!
If there was an insistence on maintaining individual vetoes, Europe would be unable to face up to decisions.
Cohn-Bendit tog afstand fra tanken om et "Kerne-Europa" - som blev udviklet af den tyske CDU'er Wolfgang Schäuble (i 1993), og han mente, at Hans-Gert Pöttering omgås historien, som det passer ham.
This means raising Chechnya with President Putin, discussing Taiwan and Tibet with China, and being clear that while Iran needed support after the disaster in Bam, it was nevertheless "only a farrago of democracy."
Hvordan vil Pöttering og de britiske konservative i fællig vælge en formand for Kommissionen, spurgte han.
He also argued that the EU should follow the example of Brazil, and impose the same procedures on US citizens entering the EU as EU citizens faced entering the US.
Cohn-Bendit fastslog, at Romano Prodi er en helt, fordi han har sagt, at stabilitetspagten er "dum".
Gerard COLLINS (Munster), for the UEN group, expressed his personal pleasure at welcoming an EU President from his own party.
Nederlag - ikke krise!
This was, he said, a time for calm reflection.
Den irske UEN'er Gerard COLLINS understregede, at "Bruxelles-fiaskoen" i december er et nederlag - men ikke en krise for EU .
As the guardian of the treaties, the Commission should do all in its power to avoid a two speed Europe: the eurozone and Schengen models were an acceptable model for action that did not include all Member States, but creating a new, separate entity would be destructive, and might lead to the end of the EU.
Nu tiltræder 10 nye lande den 1. maj, og en ny fiasko vil skabe en krise i EU.
On the budget, he argued that funds for the enlarged EU must be sufficient to ensure the continuation for all 25 Member States of the programmes which currently benefit the EU15.
Derfor er der nu behov for rolige overvejelser både i medlemslandene og i EU-institutionerne.
Finally, he called for a new effort to improve EU-US relations, something he said Ireland was well placed to achieve.
Der er behov for disciplin og tålmodighed, så vi undgår flere nederlag.
Jens-Peter BONDE (DK), for the EDD group, suggested that the next summit should concentrate on citizens and their input into decision making.
Collins tog afstand fra et EU i flere hastigheder.
All countries, large and small, needed to be involved in the Council on an equal basis.
Vi har allerede et "forstærket samarbejde", bl.a. med euroen - hvor ikke alle EU-lande er med.
The 50 per cent of population rule would suit the larger countries, but there should still be a veto right, when this was exercised in an open forum, with the approval of a national parliament.
Collins fastslog, at forholdet EU-USA er vigtigt, og at vi nu må lægge problemerne bag os.
Without this, there would not be efficiency, he said, but endless battles.
Jens-Peter BONDE fra JuniBevægelsen bød velkommen til Bertie Ahern og udtrykte forhåbninger om, at Irland vil kunne levere et fremragende formandskab .
Ian PAISLEY (IND, Northern Ireland) welcomed the Irish Presidency - but only in so far as it meant Mr Ahern would have less time to focus on Northern Ireland.
Han pegede på, at han har venner i Dublin, som mødes med Ahern på den lokale pub.
He accused the Irish Prime Minister of inconsistency, since he "insists on the presence of IRA/Sinn Fein in the government of Northern Ireland, while he would not tolerate this in Dublin."
Han håbede derfor, at irerne vil opprioritere nærheden og bringe borgerne i centrum for traktatdrøftelserne.
Mr Paisley argued that the Constitution should be approved by referendum, to allow the people to say whether it should be adopted.
Der skal tages særlige hensyn til alle vælgerkorps, som alle skal have vetoret i vitale spørgsmål.
Agriculture in the area he represents needed all the help it could get, he said.
Vi skal nå frem til et bæredygtigt kompromis, hvor vælgerne har det allersidste ord.
We should not help Poland to become powerful by causing disaster for agriculture elsewhere, he said.
Bonde beklagede, at det parlamentariske demokrati er glemt i forfatningstraktaten, som bør sendes til folkeafstemning i alle lande - og gerne på samme dag.
Avril DOYLE (EPP-ED, Leinster) stated that the fact that Ireland was now holding the Presidency of the Council and that Pat Cox was President of the Parliament demonstrated the fact that it was possible for small countries to rise to the top.
Lone DYBKJÆR fra det Radikale Venstre pegede på, at det irske formandskab står over for store udfordringer, men vi har store forhåbninger til det irske formandskab.
However, Mrs Doyle was more critical on the Lisbon Strategy stating " that time was running out ", she wanted to know which concrete actions the Irish Presidency intended to take to reinvigorate the EU economy.
Hun erindrede om det italienske formandskabs forslag om at tilføje princippet om ligestilling mellem mænd og kvinder i artikel 2 i forfatningstraktaten.
Mrs Doyle pointed out that the gap between the US and EU's economic performance had been growing since the adoption of the Lisbon strategy.
Dette bør være en grundlæggende værdi i EU - og ikke kun et princip!
More, she said, had to be done to help SMEs including reducing red-tape and bureaucracy.
Lone Dybkjær ville komme op til Berie Ahern og skriftligt - og på engelsk - overrække ham forslaget.
She also called on the Irish Presidency to press Russia over the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol.
Hun mindede om, at det irske formandskab har regeringskonferencen som første prioritet, men man har ikke fået notaterne fra det italienske formandskab om de punkter, der var enighed om i december.
Proinsias DE ROSSA (PES, Dublin) was another speaker to underline the importance of the draft Constitutional Treaty stating that all governments would have preferred agreement to be reached in December last year.
