Tyrkiets fremskridt mod tiltrædelse
Report on Romania’s progress towards accession
Onsdag den 15. december 2004 vedtog Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg
The European Parliament " hopes and believes " that Romania can join the EU in January 2007.
en betænkning af den hollandske PPE'er Camiel
In the resolution, Parliament lists a number of important steps that Romania will have to take.
EURLINGS , hvori man siger "ja" til indledning
Thus, MEPs urge Romania " to give full effect to the laws on freedom of information ", as they are alarmed at the growing number of serious assaults on investigative journalists.
af optagelsesforhandlinger med Tyrkiet
MEPs also expressed their alarm at continuing reports on cases of ill-treatment at police stations, prisons and mental hospitals.
er hovedpunktet under det kommende EU-topmøde i Bruxelles 16.-17. december.
Poverty still is an extremely serious problem in Romania as well.
Inden afstemningen var der en ophidset debat om, hvorvidt den endelige afstemning skulle være hemmelig.
Bulgaria should be in a position to join the European Union on 1 January 2007, believes the European Parliament.
Formanden for den liberale gruppe Graham WATSON tog afstand fra hemmelig afstemning og kaldte dem, der støttede forslaget for autokrater og kujoner , og hemmelig afstemning om dette vigtige spørgsmål var uværdigt for dette hus .
MEPs say Bulgaria meets the Copenhagen political criteria, has successfully overhauled its administration and judicial system, has a functioning market economy and has made efforts to resolve the problems of minorities.
Den tyske grønne Daniel COHN-BENDIT kunne ikke respektere folk, som ikke har mod til at sige, hvad de mener om Tyrkiet .
They therefore see no obstacle to speedy signature of the accession treaty, preferably in early spring 2005.
Han bad Hans-Gert Pöttering om offentligt at tilkendegive, om han var for hemmelig afstemning - hvilket Pöttering ikke gjorde.
And they emphasise that Bulgaria's accession timetable should not be linked to that of any other candidate country.
Den spanske EP-formand Josep BORRELL sagde, at tjenestegrenene havde bekræftet, at der var tilstrækkeligt mange MEP'er, der havde skrevet under på anmodningen om hemmelig afstemning.
MEPs are calling for even greater efforts to be made to fight organised crime, corruption and trafficking in human beings.
(Red.: Ifølge EP-forretningsordenens artikel 162, stk. 2 kan en hemmelig afstemning finde sted, hvis mindst 1/5 af MEP'erne beder om det.
On the last point, they argue that a database on ill-treated people and those who have disappeared would be useful.
Borrell sagde, at der var tale om et fortolkningsspørgsmål, om vi er tvunget til hemmelig afstemning, idet der står "kan" og ikke "skal" .
MEPs nevertheless stress the need for the Roma to take responsibility themselves in this area as well.
Fortilfælde Josep Borrell sagde, at der er fortilfælde , idet den daværende EP-formand Pat Cox den 12. juli 2002 tolkede "kan" som, at der automatisk skal afholdes hemmelig afstemning.
Lastly, they point out that the economic situation of many Bulgarians is not improving, despite the country's positive economic performance.
I oktober 2001 udlagde Første Instans ved EU-Domstolen "kan" som obligatorisk forpligtelse.
Turkey's prospects for EU membership - "yes .... but"
"Skræddersyet særstatus" Under afstemningen afviste Europa-Parlamentet et ændringsforslag, hvori Werner Langen m.fl. lagde op til at afvise fuldt tyrkisk EU-medlemskab .
Two days before a decision by the European Council, MEPs adopted a resolution saying that Turkey has made impressive progress in respecting the political criteria, enough for negotiations on EU membership to start.
Det blev nedstemt med 438 stemmer mod 235.
The resolution was adopted by 407 votes in favour, 262 against and 29 abstentions in a secret ballot (under rule 162 of Parliament's Rules of Procedure) .
Et andet ændringsforslag om "at der kan være alternative måder at integrere Tyrkiet i de europæiske strukturer på, fx. ved at give landet en skræddersyet særstatus" blev nedstemt med 451 stemmer mod 227 - medens 13 undlod at stemme.
Nevertheless, Parliament acknowledged that problems continue to exist, such as regarding minority rights, religious freedoms, trade union rights, women's rights, the role of the army, Cyprus and the relations with Armenia.
"Privilegeret partnerskab" Også et ændringsforslag om at "udarbejde et alternativt mål i form af et privilegeret partnerskab" blev nedstemt.
Therefore it stressed that, in the first phase of negotiations, priority should be given to the full application of the political criteria.
Det skete med 415 stemmer mod 259.
In case of serious breaches of the political criteria, negotiations must be suspended.
Et andet ændringsforslag om "at Rådets afgørelse om at indlede tiltrædelsesforhandlinger i den nuværende situation er forhastet, uønsket og skadelig for EU's interesser" blev nedstemt med 514 stemmer mod 165.
MEPs also underlined that starting negotiations will not automatically result in Turkey's accession and that appropriate ways will have to be found " to ensure that Turkey remains fully anchored in European structures ", should negotiations not be successfully concluded.
Kurdernes rettigheder I Eurlings-betænkningen understreger Europa-Parlamentet, at det kurdiske folk udgør en vigtig del af det tyrkiske samfund, og at deres rettigheder derfor skal anerkendes fuldt ud.
MEPs were satisfied that Turkey had fulfilled a number of recommendations and requirements included in earlier EP resolutions, such as the abolition of the death penalty, the extension of important fundamental rights and freedoms, reduction of the role of the National Security Council and the lifting of the state of emergency in the south-east.
Dette ændringsforslag blev vedtaget med 456 stemmer mod 192 - medens 44 undlod at stemme.
But they said that Turkey still had to adopt further reforms and put these, as well as current reforms, into practice.
EP henviser til, at tyrkiske og kurdiske politiske kræfter, organisationer og fremstående personer i Tyrkiet varmt går ind for, at der indledes EU-tiltrædelsesforhandlinger og håber, at dette vil uddybe og fremskynde reformprocessen i Tyrkiet.
Thus it would have to lift all remaining restrictions on broadcasting and education in minority languages; put an end to the discrimination of religious minorities; completely eradicate torture; draft a new constitution; lower the threshold of ten percent in parliamentary elections; disband the village guard system in the south-east; apply ILO standards for trade union rights; limit the role of the army further; continue the process of reconciliation with Armenia and recognise the Republic of Cyprus.
Dette ændringsforslag blev vedtaget med 365 stemmer mod 288 - medens 28 undlod at stemme.
MEPs also mentioned the eradication of violence against women, freedom of expression and press freedom as issues they would monitor closely.
I Euerlings-betænkningen opfordrer EP Kommissionen og Rådet til af de tyrkiske myndigheder at kræve formel anerkendelse af den historiske realitet, som folkemordet på armenerne i 1915 er, og hurtig åbning af grænsen mellem Tyrkiet og Armenien.
The Parliament also referred to earlier conclusions of EU government leaders that " the Union's capacity to absorb new members, while maintaining the momentum of European integration, constitutes an important criterion for accession, from the point of view both of the Union and of candidates for accession ".
Europa-Parlamentet - og dets politiske grupper - er meget opsplittet i denne sag.
The priority, he said, was for Turkey to fulfil the political criteria necessary for eventual accession.
Der er her tale om en meget konstruktiv og realistisk , men ikke en naiv betænkning, sagde Eurlings.
He also called for a new committee to be set up on the " Armenian genocide question ".
Den nye finske EU-udvidelseskommissær Olli REHN mente også, at der var tale om en meget velafbalanceret betænkning fra EP' udenrigsudvalg, som stort set følger EU-Kommissionens indstilling fra 6. oktober 2004.
Olli REHN , the European Commissioner responsible for enlargement, welcomed Mr Eurlings draft report, since it followed, on the whole, the Commission's recommendation.
Tyrkiet er i gang med en forandringsproces - også i mentaliteten.
He stressed that Turkey had introduced several new bills improving the human rights situation in the country.
Den hollandske Europaminister Atzo NICOLAI - der talte på vegne af det hollandske EU-formandskab - fastslog, at EP-debatten om tyrkisk EU-medlemskab falder på det rette tidspunkt - umiddelbart før det Europæiske Råd træffer den endelige beslutning.
The Commission would be closely monitoring the situation with regard to freedom of religion under the framework of the Copenhagen criteria.
Tyrkiet er ved at forandres med revolutionær fart .
Commissioner Rehn stressed the particularities of enlargement to Turkey as compared to previous enlargements; pointing out that Turkey's population was approximately equal to the population of the ten new Member States.
"Københavns-kriterierne" fører til en modernisering af landet, men der er stadig store udfordringer for Tyrkiet.
As to Cyprus, Commissioner Rehn agreed with the comments made by Mr Eurlings and stressed that more would have to be done in this area.
Der er behov for en altomfattende debat om Tyrkiet , og Eurlings-betænkningen er rimelig og velafbalanceret, fastlog den hollandske Europaminister Atzo Nicolai.
The Commissioner pointed out that EU-Turkey relations had a long history dating back to the 1963 Association Agreement.
"Privilegeret partnerskab"!
The prospect of membership had been " a catalyst for reform. "
Under den politiske ordførerrunde sagde formanden for PPE-gruppen, den tyske CDU'er Hans-Gert PÖTTERING, at EU nu står over for en beslutning af vidtrækkende betydning .
Atzo NICOLAÏ , for the Dutch Presidency of the Council, recalled that Turkey had made considerable progress since the December 1999 Helsinki Council when it was decided to formally recognise Turkey's candidacy for accession.
Aldrig før har vi skulle træffe en beslutning af så stor rækkevidde.
Turkey had made " impressive progress ", however several challenges remained including the full respect of the political criteria for accession and the adoption of the six outstanding bills before the Turkish Parliament.
Hvis Tyrkiet kommer i EU, vil EU ændre karakter!
The Commission, he said, would closely monitor progress made and, if necessary, would suspend negotiations.
Pöttering fastslog, at PPE-gruppen er delt i dette spørgsmål.
The Commission opinion was a good basis for the decision of the Heads of State and government.
Tyrkiet er et samvittigheds-spørgsmål, og I bør stemme efter jeres egen overbevisning, sagde Hans-Gert Pöttering.
Mr Nicolaï recognised that this was " an open-ended process " and that Turkey " feared new criteria, further to the Copenhagen criteria being introduced ".
Formanden for den socialistiske gruppe. den tyske SPD'er Martin SCHULZ fastslog, at S-gruppen havde ydet sit bidrag til kompromiset omkring Eurlings-betænkningen.
Admitting Turkey would completely change the nature of the EU, he said, this could not be a reflex decision - rather, it should be a decision of conscience.
Schulz kritiserede Pöttering for at sige, at EU vil ændre karakter efter tyrkisk EU-medlemskab.
Within the EPP-ED group, some did not want to open negotiations, some were in favour and others wanted instead to negotiate a privileged partnership with Turkey.
For Tyrkiet skal jo ratificere hele EU's juridiske regelsæt!
Turkey was a large and important country and the EU should seek friendship and partnership, he said.
Den tyrkiske premierminister Erdogan har gennemført flere reformer end nogen tidligere tyrkisk regering, og udsigten til EU-medlemskab ændrer grundlaget i Tyrkiet, som bevæger sig i retning af et almindeligt vestligt demokrati, sagde Schulz.
Mr Poettering said that he was one of those who wanted to aim for a privileged partnership: Turkish accession, he said, would be enlarging the EU to death, losing the common European identity and the basis for European solidarity.
Hun fastslog, at den liberale gruppe støtter Eurlings-betænkningen, og at målet er tyrkisk EU-medlemskab .
Martin SCHULZ (DE), leader of the Socialist group, praised the efforts of the rapporteur to reach a broad consensus.
Bonino mente, at betænkningen pakker tingene for meget ind. Hun stillede spørgsmålet, om EU er en troværdig partner , efter at man har afgivet løftet om tyrkisk EU-kandidatur.
He argued that Turkish membership would not alter the nature of the EU - rather Turkey would have to accept the whole range of EU values, including the Charter of Fundamental Rights, and implement them in its internal laws if it were to join.
Europas værdighed står på spil .
The prize was to show that Islam and democracy were not incompatible.
Det drejer sig om Europas identitet politisk set - ikke geografisk eller religiøst, sluttede Emma Bonino.
The reforms carried out under the Erdogan government were the most significant in decades, he said.
"Clash of civilisations"?
Many Turkish people were saying that it was the prospect of EU membership which was changing their country into a normal parliamentary democracy.
Den hollandske grønne Joost LAGENDIJK fastslog, at hans gruppe støttede betænkningen, som er kritisk - men konstruktiv .
The journey was not complete, but that was the peace dividend available.
Og endemålet er fuldt tyrkisk EU-medlemskab!
Closing the door to Turkey might halt the reforms, he said.
Dette er en chance, vi ikke må lade gå fra os, vi må undgå "the clash of civilisations" .
Opening the door could help the EU realise its potential as an exporter of peace and democracy to a growing region.
Der er plads til det hele i det 21. århundrede, sluttede Lagendijk.
Emma BONINO (IT) spoke for the ALDE group, the majority of which, she said, supported Mr Eurling's report, with its call for negotiations to be opened.
Tyrkiet hører ikke hjemme i EU!
This was a question of whether the EU was a reliable partner in international negotiations and whether its word stood for anything.
Mogens CAMRE fra Dansk Folkeparti fastslog, at ordføreren og flertallet i EP erkender, at der er dybtgående forskelle mellem EU og Tyrkiet.
She said Europe's identity was political, looking at the present and future, not founded looking back at what some called Europe's Christian or Catholic roots.
EP vil gøre os alle sammen til de nye tyskere og lade millioner af fremmede flytte ind. Men tyrkerne vil ikke være tyskere.
She said she wanted a Europe worth belonging to and fighting for, which was worthy of its citizens.
Tyrkerne vil ikke opgive deres kultur .
For the Greens/EFA group, Joost LAGENDIJK (NL) said the Greens in general supported the report as it had emerged from the committee.
Europas befolkninger er imod optagelsen af Tyrkiet i EU, fastslog Mogens Camre.
He warned MEPs who were against Turkish membership not to try to amend the report in this way, as this would lead to a failure.
Under debatten talte Gitte SEEBERG fra de Konservative for tyrkisk EU-medlemskab, idet hun henviste til, at der er "meget store sikkerhedspolitiske gevinster ved at fremme Tyrkiets integration i Europa".
"We are not here to reward Christian Democrat symbol based politics, " he said.
Seeberg fremhævede, at Tyrkiet er det land, der kan bygge bro til den arabiske verden og fastlog herunder, at EU bør anskue Tyrkiet som et aktiv for Europa.
He had visited Turkey the previous week, and all the people with whom he discussed the matter had told him that while a lot was wrong, but to go ahead with negotiations was the best guarantee of continuing reform.
EU: Ikke en religiøs klub Seeberg understregede endvidere, at der intet er i vejen for at optage et stort muslimsk land i EU, da EU ikke er en religiøs klub, men derimod et fællesskab, hvor "fællesnævneren er demokrati".
His group believed there were sufficient safeguards to stop negotiations in the event of major human rights problems, but the chance to prove that Islam and democracy could go together should not be passed up.
Endvidere advarede hun imod blot at tilbyde Tyrkiet et privilegeret partnerskab, i stedet for egentligt medlemsskab, et alternativ, der vil "placere Tyrkiet på et sidespor" og indebære løftebrud fra alle EU-landene.
However, his group was particularly concerned about the fact that amendments proposing measurable criteria to monitor Turkey's progress had been defeated in the Foreign Affairs Committee.
Afslutningsvis understregede Seeberg, at "vi skal åbne forhandlingerne med Tyrkiet, som vi har lovet, og give Tyrkiet en fair chance".
The question of possible Turkish accession " was more than a question of philosophy and should be based on tangible concrete steps made by Turkey to modernise its constitution. "
Hun fastlog samtidig, at Tyrkisk EU-medlemskab forudsætter, at Tyrkiet selv er parat til at gennemføre de nødvendige ændringer af deres samfund, herunder forbedre menneskerettighedssituationen.
His group, he said, opposed the idea of a privileged partnership.
Sikre fri organisationsret Socialdemokraten Poul Nyrup RASMUSSEN fastslog, at det er afgørende at starte optagelsesforhandlinger med Tyrkiet, "at have et perspektiv, men ikke nogen automatik og ikke nogen garanti".
Bastiaan BELDER (NL), for the IND/DEM group, stated that MEPs had been " too generous towards Turkey ".
Herunder henledte Nyrup Rasmussen opmærksomheden på et aktuelt problem, der skal forbedres, hvis Tyrkiet skal opnå EU-medlemskab, idet han henviste til en konkret sag om anerkendelse af fagforeninger i Tyrkiet.
He questioned whether Turkey had made sufficient progress in the area of freedom of religion and stated that the Commission and Parliament should be more critical of Turkey on the question of human rights.
Nyrup Rasmussen understregede, at denne sag er meget alvorlig, idet det, der foregår i Tyrkiet "ikke er i overensstemmelse med ytringsfrihed og fri organisationsret".
He questioned whether Turkey could truly be defined as a secular state.
Nyrup Rasmussen anmodede derfor den finske Udvidelseskommissær Olli Rehn om at meddele Tyrkiet, at en løsning af dette problem, er afgørende for succesfulde optagelsesforhandlingerne med landet.
Konrad SZYMAŃSKI (PL), for the UEN group, stated that were possible advantages of Turkish membership of the EU, but he preferred to see a different kind of partnership based on the European Economic Agreement model.
EU-topmødet 16.-17. december: Tiltrædelsesforhandlinger med Tyrkiet?
Turkish accession would only serve to hinder the immigration issue in several Member States pointing out that Turkey would have the largest population of any Member State by 2020.

helt store emne på dagsordenen.
British and Irish MEPs
med Kroatien og Tyrkiet og om EU's fremtidige politikker.
If we agree to start accession negotiations we should see them through.
"Haag-programmet" Atzo Nicolai fastslog, at terrorismebekæmpelse havde haft 1. prioritet under det hollandske EU-formandskab, idet Europa stadig er sårbart.
He believed that the so-called privileged partnership is a false prospectus designed to drive Turkey away from integration with Europe.
Han mindede om, at det Europæiske Råd havde vedtaget "Haag-programmet" om frihed, sikkerhed og retfærdighed den 5. november.
Turkey, he said, has enjoyed a privileged partnership through the Customs Union and also NATO for several years.
Finansrammen 2007-2013 er et vigtigt emne under EU-topmødet, og det ventes, at det Europæiske Råd træffer beslutning om principper og retningslinjer for finansrammen 2007-2013 (Red.: som drejer sig om mere end 1.000 mia. euro og afskaffelse af UK-rabatte n på 3-7 mia. euro årligt).
Whatever the outcome of the accession negotiations, it is only through the process of the accession negotiations that the European-Turkey relationship will develop, he stated.
Man må give tyrkerne en klar dato for indledning af optagelsesforhandlingerne og ikke stille yderligere betingelser.
This is madness: it is bad for Turkey, subversive of the European Union and it displays a vast and astonishing absence of self-confidence inside this Parliament for European projects.
Målet for forhandlingerne må være tyrkisk EU-medlemskab, men vi kan ikke nu garantere medlemskab.
Finally, Mr Duff asked the Commission and the presidency to flesh out the proposal for a mechanism to suspend the negotiations should there be a crisis.
Barroso pegede på globaliseringens hæslige ansigt - terrorismen, som vi må bekæmpe og udrydde, uden at miste vore juridiske og demokratiske principper.
He trusted that the European Council will follow the spirit of the Constitution, which requires a third of Member States to trigger such a mechanism and not simply a single truculent member.
Barroso sagde om finansrammen 2007-2013 , at hvis man begrænser EU-budgettet til 1 % af medlemslandenes bruttonationalindkomst, så er der ikke nok til samhørighedspolitik, forskning og sikkerhed for borgerne.
Eoin RYAN (UEN, IE) stated that this week is undoubtedly an historically important one for the broader development of the European Union.
"Samliv" med Tyrkiet Under den politiske ordførerrunde sagde den portugisiske PPE'er Joao de Deus PINHEIRO , at Tyrkiet udgør et "særtilfælde" både med hensyn til økonomi og kultur samt Cypern-spørgsmålet.
Leaders of the 25 governments of the European Union meeting in Brussels later this week will formally give the go-ahead – or not – to accession negotiations between the European Union and the Turkish Government.
Åbning af optagelsesforhandlinger kræver anstrengelser på begge sider, og når forhandlingerne er slut, må vi se på, hvilken slags "samliv" vi skal have med Tyrkiet .
Let us, he said, not underestimate the magnitude of this decision.
Pinheiro spurgte, om vi vil forblive en politisk dværg og en "blød stormagt", eller om vi vil afsætte de nødvendige ressourcer til at blive en rigtig stormagt med ambitioner og ressourcer.
There is no acceptable middle ground when it comes to the issue of membership of the European Union.
Europa er ikke en kristen klub .
In the last election my own party had a slogan which stated: ' A lot done, more to do '.
I Europa-Parlamentet har vi en åben debat, medens der er lukkede døre i det Europæiske Råd.
I believe that this is the case here.
Watson mente, at vi bør se nærmere på EU's evne til at absorbere nye medlemslande, og vor vision om Europa skal bestemme vore grænser.
More needs to be done, but a lot has been done and we must recognise that .
