ECB's årsberetning 2003: Dialog EP-ECB en succes!
European Central Bank in 2003
Debatten fandt sted på baggrund af en betænkning af den franske grønne Alain LIPIETZ fra EP's økonomi-udvalg.

Han tog dog afstand fra i ECB's protokoller at offentliggøre de enkelte Styrelsesmedlemmers stemmeafgivning, idet dette kunne have en negativ virkning på ECB's troværdighed og effektivite t. Trichet sluttede med at fastslå, at den Europæiske Centralbank er en af de mest åbne og gennemsigtige banker i verden.

Lipietz glædede sig over, at ECB erkender, at den Europæiske Centralbanks ansvar foregår via en dialog med Europa-Parlamentet .

recovery, which continued into 2004.
"Buttiglione-sagen" Barroso bekræftede dette, idet han fastslog, at høringerne i EP var meget vigtige for vort demokrati.
Looking ahead, there were risks if oil prices remained high for a long period or went higher.
Barroso oplyste, at den meget omstridte italienske kommissærkandidat Rocco BUTTIGLIONE havde skrevet et brev til Barroso, hvori han dybt beklager de vanskeligheder og problemer hans udtalelser havde forårsaget.
If this did cause a further external supply shock, it was important that the mistakes of the past, notably regarding second round effects on wages and prices, should be avoided.
Buttiglione havde forsikret Barroso om, at han med sine udtalelser ikke havde villet såre hverken homoseksuelle eller kvinder .
Despite this, and increases in indirect taxes and administered prices which had led the HICP for the euro area to reach 2.3 per cent in the second quarter of 2004, there was no indication of stronger underlying inflationary pressure.
Barroso mindede i øvrigt om, at et EP-udvalg havde stemt imod Buttigliones kandidatur, medens et andet EP-udvalg havde stemt for.
He said that the low interest rates meant that monetary liquidity was more than was required for non-inflationary growth.
En spansk journalist fra "El Pais" spurgte om, hvilke kommissærer der skal deltage i denne gruppe.
The other conditions for this were sound fiscal policy and success in structural reform.
Barroso svarede, at det bliver Margot WALLSTRÖM ( institutionelle forhold og kommunikationsstrategi ) , Vladimir SPIDLA (beskæftigelse/sociale anliggender) og Rocco BUTTIGLIONE (retfærdighed og sikkerhed).
In the first case, 2003 had been disappointing, he said, with fiscal policy facing serious challenges, notably the Council's decision to suspend the procedures of the Stability and Growth Pact.
Samt Benita FERRERO-WALDNER (eksterne relationer) og Louis MICHEL (udvikling og humanitær hjælp), når det drejer sig om forhold uden for EU.
In the second case, there had been significant progress, but there was no room for complacency and more needed to be done, he said.
Barroso fastslog, at de 25 EU-kommissærer kan have 25 forskellige meninger og opfattelser, men Kommissionen har kun en politik, og det er den som kommissærkollegiet i fællesskab har besluttet.
On reform of the Stability and Growth Pact, Mr Trichet said significant improvements could be made in its operation, but there was no need for changes to the treaty provisions or the basic regulation.
Og den nye Kommission er imod enhver form for diskriminering, som bygger på køn, seksuel orientering og religiøs overbevisning, understregede Barroso.
Regarding the transparency of the Bank's decision making procedures, he continued to oppose the publication of the votes of individual board members, which risked national political pressure on them when they had to look at the situation of the whole euro area.
"Sense of compromise"-approach Han fastslog, at EP's afstemning den 27. oktober drejer sig om den samlede Kommission .
He highlighted the practice of holding a press conference immediately after board meetings, which, he said, had been a major step forward in terms of central bank transparency and which was of equivalent value to the publication of a summary edition of the board minutes.
Barroso var overbevist om, at den nye Kommission vil få bred opbakning i EP.
Among other points, he called for the dialogue between Parliament and the Bank to be further improved.
Politiske gruppers holdninger EP-formand Josep Borrell fortalte om det fascinerende møde i EP's formandskonference samme morgen, hvor PPE-gruppen og UEN-gruppen havde givet udtryk for, at de ville stemme for Kommissionen i næste uge.
He argued in favour of keeping the 1 and 2 euro coins and said the next design of euro notes should include recognisable faces, which would make the currency more approachable for citizens.
Borrell fastslog, at man derfor ikke kan forudsige afstemningsresultatet i Strasbourg i næste uge.
He praised the Bank for its balancing act in 2003 - his group rejected the criticisms regarding interest rate policy and the demarcation of the Bank's role: it should continue to focus on price stability.
Ansvarsfølelse og proportionssans På den baggrund mente en spansk journalist, at Barroso ikke synes at have et flertal bag sig i øjeblikket, og hun spurgte ham om, hvad han ville gøre ved et nej.
He also agreed that votes of individual board members should not be published, but he asked Mr Trichet to consider following the American model of publishing a 'Beige Book' containing a summary of the minutes.
Barroso delte ikke hendes analyse, idet vi ikke kender de endelige beslutninger i flere af de politiske grupper .
For the PES group, Joseph MUSCAT (MT) said that, despite the occasionally obscure language, the issues raised in this debate affected millions of EU citizens in their everyday lives.
Han fastslog, at han havde reageret på EP's udtalelser, og nu må EP vise ansvarsfølelse, ved at flertallet stemmer for den nye Kommission.
He said the first priority should be a sound foundation for Europe's economies, while safeguarding the social fabric.
Barroso sagde, at han havde bestræbt sig på at være imødekommende, og at et nej fra EP ville have alvorlige konsekvenser.
It was a time for strong leadership and working together, he said.
Han havde gennemskuet alle scenarioer, og dette er den bedste løsning for alle EU-institutionerne.
Wolf KLINZ (DE), for the ALDE group, also welcomed the improved clarity of the report.
Diskrimination vil nu få langt større opmærksomhed , fastslog Barroso.
His group, he said, agreed with the EPP-ED group that price stability should remain the central plank of the Bank's task.
Formanden for socialistgruppen, den tyske SPD'er Martin SCHULZ sagde under en efterfølgende pressekonference, at han var meget skuffet efter mødet med Barroso i formandskonferencen.
Any weakness of growth was not down to the Bank's policies, rather it showed the need for more structural reform and a lack of faith in current national governments' handling of the economy.
Et udvalg har forkastet Buttiglione, og der er alvorlig kritik af Fischer-Boel, Kroes og Kovacs.
There was currently very low inflation, bordering on deflation, but this had not led to more growth and more jobs.
Martin Schulz havde efter tirsdagens møde dvs. den 19. oktober - troet, at Barroso ville tage grundrettigheder og ikke-diskriminering fra Buttigliones ansvarsområde.
Nils LUNDGREN (SE), for the Independence and Democracy Group, warned that monetary union was a major risk to employment, with structural change leading to more job losses.
"Kosmetik" Martin Schulz fastslog, at Barrosos nedsættelse af en arbejdsgruppe af kommissærer , som skal beskæftige sig med grundrettigheder og ikke-diskrimination, udelukkende er "kosmetik" .
Hans-Peter MARTIN (AT), a non-attached MEP, asked what had gone wrong with the Lisbon strategy and whether Europe was digging itself into an ideological grave.
Hvis EP stemmer nej til Barroso-Kommisionen, så må Barroso sammensætte en ny Kommission.
He called for a more pragmatic approach which kept in mind both price stability and growth.

Den liberale gruppe synes at være splittet, men et flertal i ALDE-gruppen ventes at stemme "nej".
"This team has many trump cards", he said.
Barrosos "apologi" Den 22. juli 2004 godkendte EP i Strasbourg Jose Manuel BARROSO som formand for EU-Kommissionen, og under debatten den 26. oktober appellerede han til EP om at godkende den nye Kommission, hvori der er flere kvinder end nogensinde før.
There were more women than ever before, all the main political families were represented, and there was huge experience between them.
Alle politiske retninger er repræsenteret i Kommissionen, og alle kommissærer er på det rene med deres ansvar over for Europa-Parlamentet.
They had all promised to act to promote the European interest.
I denne Kommission er alle lige - der er ikke 1. klasses eller 2. klasses kommissærer.
He emphasised the principle of collegiality and that there would be no first or second class commissioners.
Rocco Buttiglione Barroso sagde, at EP-høringerne af kommissærkandidaterne er et eksempel på, hvordan demokratiet fungerer i EU.
The parliamentary hearings, he said, had been democracy in action.
I langt de fleste tilfælde havde EP-udvalgenes vurderinger af kommissærkandidaterne været positive.
They had shown a broad consensus between Parliament and the proposed Commission, he said, with positive evaluations in the vast majority of cases.
Rocco Buttiglione havde været til 2 høringer.
Parliament's committees had identified some weaknesses and asked for his response.
I det ene tilfælde var resultatet negativt, i det andet tilfælde positivt.
Mr Barroso said he had already replied before the Conference of Presidents, but he would now give more information and details of other steps he was ready to take.
Buttiglione havde i et brev til Barroso forsikret, at han ville respektere princippet om ikke-diskriminering, og at han fuldt ud ville overholde EU-charteret om grundlæggende rettigheder og EU-traktaten.
Without mentioning the candidates by name, he assured Parliament that he had confidence in the political skills of his colleagues to master their briefs.
Arbejdsgruppe om ikke-diskrimination Den "uheldige hændelse" med Buttiglione havde i øvrigt styrket kampen mod diskrimination.
Party funding matters were for national authorities and no accusations had been tabled in the case raised by MEPs [a reference to Mrs UDRE ].
Barroso skulle selv være formand for en arbejdsgruppe af kommissærer om ikke-diskrimination .
He also stated that rules were in place to ensure there would be no conflict of interest in competition policy.
Denne arbejdsgruppe af kommissærer skulle ikke være en snakkeklub - men derimod en politisk drivkraft .
He emphasised that he would use all his powers to ensure the Commissioners respected the rules laid down.
Barroso ønskede at opstille en ambitiøs dagsorden for ikke-diskriminering.
All the candidates had undertaken to resign at his request, and "if I believe a Commissioner is not up to the job, or has failed in his or her duties, I will ask them to resign.
Han ville foreslå oprettelsen af et EU-agentur for grundlæggende rettigheder .
If the Parliament requests me to do so, I will actively consider this request before making my decision."
Han lovede at foreslå ny lovgivning på området ikke-diskriminering med hensyn til køn og seksuel orientering samt racisme og fremmedhad.
The same applied to reshuffling: after Parliament's confirmation, Mr Barroso said he would be free to move portfolios if required.
Barroso sagde, at han havde forstået EP's budskab, og at han personligt ville sikre fuld kontrol med de grundlæggende rettigheder.
Regarding Mr BUTTIGLIONE , Mr Barroso noted that one Parliamentary committee had approved him, while in the other he had not been backed by the majority.
Barroso betvivlede, at en omrokering inden for den nye Kommission havde været en reel mulighed.
Since that time, Mr Buttiglione had affirmed his attachment to the principle of non-discrimination: "I am sure he will comply with the treaty and with the Charter of Fundamental Rights."
Han erkendte, at hans hold ikke var perfekt, men der er jo heller ikke nogen nationale regeringer, der er perfekte i deres sammensætning.
One good thing had come out of what he called "this unfortunate incident."
Kommissionens arbejdsprogram Jose Manuel Barroso gik ind for et "partnerskab for Europa" om velstand og sikkerhed .
It had highlighted the importance of action to combat discrimination.
Vi skal finde svar på borgernes ønsker, og vi skal informere borgerne om fordelene ved forfatningstraktaten , som gør EU mere effektivt og demokratisk.
Civil rights would be one of the new Commission's top priorities, and the Commission group on Fundamental Rights would be more than a talking shop.
Væksten skal stå i centrum for vort samarbejde, og vi skal fokusere på fremdrift, uddannelse og teknolog i.
Mr Barroso said he would draw up proposals for a European Agency for Fundamental Rights (based around the existing Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia in Vienna) and for a framework directive on all forms of discrimination which would go beyond the scope of the legislation passed in 2000.
Og vi skal have en "varig strategi" om klimaforandringer, miljø og transport .
There would be an action plan on racism, anti-Semitism and xenophobia.
Barroso glædede sig i denne sammenhæng over Ruslands underskrivelse af Kyoto-protokollen.
He would himself present these measures to Parliament.
"Europæiske sociale model" Barroso understregede, at vi skal have et mere dynamisk og konkurrencedygtig EU , hvor vi samtidig bevarer den "europæiske sociale model" .
Summing up, he said, "I have got your message and given substantial replies."
Solidaritet er afgørende for de nye medlemslande, og for forholdet mellem generationerne og de forskellige grupper i samfundet.
He expressed doubts however as to whether reshuffling portfolios would have solved the problem, reminding MEPs that the Council as well as Commission and Parliament were involved in this decision.
Vi skal have en fælles politik for asyl og indvandring .
No team was perfect, he said, but this one was strong and balanced.
Barroso fastslog, at han er imod oprettelsen af lejre udenfor EU's grænser.
He invited MEPs to judge the Commission on its actions in future, not on words alone.
Vi skal have et samarbejde med tredjelande om asyl og indvandring, og vi skal overholde folkeretten.
Another issue ahead was the area of freedom, security and justice, including the need for a just and balanced common asylum and immigration policy.
På den internationale scene skal EU være en stærk og troværdig partner , og udgangspunktet for samarbejdet med USA er, at vi er partnere på lige fod.
On this, cooperation with third countries was vital, though he opposed " holding camps " outside the EU.
Barroso lagde stor vægt på EU's Naboskabspolitik og EU's udviklingssamarbejde med tredjelande.
He looked forward to a re-launched relationship with the USA and to ongoing improvement in relations with the EU's neighbours.
Strategiske prioriteringer I januar 2005 vil Barroso i Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg præsentere EU-Kommissionens strategiske prioriteringer for de kommende 5 år .
He would, he said, announce his strategic priorities in January, but he proposed to make this announcement into a broader vision of priorities for the next five years on which he hoped to build a consensus with Parliament.
Han ønskede et positivt samarbejde mellem EP og Kommissionen.
He had carefully considered Parliament President BORRELL 's proposals for a new framework agreement between Commission and Parliament and he looked forward to Parliament's resolution on this issue.
Kommissionens styrke ligger i EP's styrke, sagde Barroso.
We should not, he said, feed them new arguments.
Det er nødvendigt med et godt samarbejde mellem de 2 EU-institutioner, som står i spidsen for det europæiske samarbejde.
He urged Parliament to work together with the Commission for the good of the EU's citizens.
Appel til MEP'ers ansvarsfølelse!
"This team is worthy of your trust, it deserves your support.
Vi må derfor ikke spilde tiden, som er til at handle.
For the EPP-ED group, Hans-Gert POETTERING (DE) welcomed Mr Barroso's commitments to work with Parliament, and promised to hold him to them.
Barroso appellerede derfor til MEP'ernes ansvarsfølelse og stemme for Kommissionen.
For him, a strong Commission with a strong president were vital.
Ingen bør diskrimineres - heller ikke på grund af religion.
We should not, he said, tolerate discrimination on any grounds, including on religious ones.
Vi ønsker en Kommission med forskellige religiøse tilhørsforhold (Re.: Buttiglione er katolik med et tæt forhold til Paven).
This Commission reflected the diversity of religious faith and non-belief that was found in Europe.
Pöttering mente, at hvis det bliver et "nej" til Kommissionen , så skal hver enklt kommissærkandidat til høring igen.
He noted that if Parliament rejected the Commission it would be giving an opinion on all 25 members.
Et "nej" i morgen er en ikke-accept af den "kulturelle mangfoldighed", og et "nej" vil gøre det sværere at få vedtaget forfatningstraktaten , fastslog Pöttering.
Such a vote, seen as a rejection of cultural diversity, would make the ratification of the Constitutional Treaty all the more difficult.
Barroso har i dag tilføjet et par initiativer, men han har ikke draget konsekvenserne af processen med høringer af kommissærkandidaterne gennem de seneste 6 uger.
He said Mr Barroso was still failing to accept the consequences of the six week long hearing process.
Fire EP-udvalg har graverende bemærkninger om kommissærkandidaternes kompetence, og et femte EP-udvalg har afvist kommissærkandidaten.
One Commissioner-designate had received a negative vote, in four other cases there were serious doubts, but "your response is to refuse to change any portfolios.
Det er svagt af Barroso intet at ændre.
This is an impediment to further progress."
Men, Barroso, overvej endnu en gang! sagde Martin Schulz.
Concerns from all sides had to be taken on board to win a broad majority, but Mr Barroso was not budging.
Og jeg har ikke fået mere tillid til Barroso-Kommissionen her i formiddag, sagde Martin Schulz.
The other branches of the EU needed to recognise that power lay partly with Parliament, he said.
Vi vil gerne have en Kommissionsformand, der kan erkende, at han tog fejl.
The Council preferred to see a weak Parliament, and in the case of many Member States, a weak Commission.
Martin Schulz sluttede med at fastslå, at et "nej" til Barroso-Kommissionen ikke vil føre til en institutionel krise.
Daniel COHN-BENDIT (DE), for the Greens/EFA group, said Mr Barroso was a "strange conductor of an orchestra with a pianist playing the oboe and a violinist on the drums."
Et "nej" vil være helt normalt.
This was not what was needed.
Principper kontra politiske hensyn!
Mr Barroso should respect the prerogatives of the House.
Formanden for den liberale gruppe, skotten Graham WATSON fastslog, at den liberale gruppe støttede Barroso som formand, men at et flertal i gruppen afviser Rocco Buttiglione.
No-one was reproached for their religious and ideological views, but fundamentalism was poison to democracy.
Barroso kommer sent med sine nye forslag, men der er ingen ændringer i Buttigliones kandidatur.
Mr Buttiglione held opinions which made him unsuitable for this particular post.
Watson spurgte om, hvor mange europæiske regeringer der har gjort som Silvio Berlusconi , der har udpeget en mand til kommisærposten, ligegyldigt hvad andre mener.
If the Parliament shows that democracy is working, by rejecting the Commission, it would increase enthusiasm for the EU and the Constitutional Treaty, he said.
Watson fastslog, at EP's styrke også skal være grundlag for Kommissionens styrke.
Francis WURTZ (FR), leader of the GUE/NGL group, said the question was not whether to reject the whole Commission for the failings of a few.
Hvis vi stemmer imod Kommissionen i morgen, så gør vi det ikke med let hjerte.
Mr Buttiglione had made a bad situation worse, by outlining a fundamentalist position.
Men vi ønsker ikke at ændre vore principper eller overbevisninger af politiske hensyn , sluttede Watson.
Mr Wurtz concluded that Mr Barroso would either win a phyrric victory or go down to a symbolic defeat.
Downing Street i telefonen!
His group would vote against.
Medformanden for den grønne gruppe, tyskeren Daniel COHN-BENDIT mente, at Barroso havde begået 3 fejl.
Nigel Paul FARAGE (UK), for the Independence and Democracy group, said the row over Mr Buttiglione summed up the problems of trying to force different cultures into one: this would never work, he said.
Selv om EP's udvalg under kommissærhøringerne havde påpeget en række svagheder hos kommissærkandidaterne, så havde Barroso affejet dette med, at det gjorde ikke noget.
His group took no particular view on Mr Buttiglione: rather, it opposed the Commission as an undemocratic institution - even if a new Commission team had to be proposed, it would still be a "rest home for failed national politicians," he said.
Barroso skulle nok redde kastanjerne ud af ilden, eller man kunne sende kommissærkandidaterne på aftenskole .
The Commission was the enemy of the nation state, and for this reason his group would vote against.
Barroso bør holde op med at bede regeringslederne ringe til os!
Mr Barroso had moved towards Parliament's position.
De britiske MEP'er er trætte af at have Downing Street i telefonen .
It was time for Parliament to show the tolerance and respect for diversity it urged on others.
