Den spanske PPE’er MÉNDEZ DE VIGO – der er medlem af Konventets præsidium - betegnede Konventets resultat som en kæmpesucces og understregede, at Parlamentet har virket som pioner for det udkast til forfatningstraktat, der er resultat af Konventets arbejde.
He also strongly backed the idea that the Accession States play a full and equal role in the IGC.
Endvidere bliver EU mere demokratisk som følge af den dobbelte legitimitet.
I think it is in the logic of progress that that role should be enhanced in the dispositions that will be made for the IGC ”, he said.
Parlamentet er blevet sit navn værdigt.
Having the Treaty agreed well before the next European elections is important.
Méndez de Vigo roste de nationale parlamenter for deres udstrakte samarbejdsvilje.
Citizens, he stated, have the right to know what they are voting for and what role this Parliament is destined to have in the wider Europe.
Indskrivningen af Charteret for grundlæggende rettigheder i forfatningsudkastet betegnede Méndez som europæernes identitetsdokument - de europæiske borgeres triumf.
Iñigo MÉNDEZ DE VIGO (EPP-ED, E) recalled the resolution passed in 1997 which called for a change in the ways IGCs were held, allowing for much wider participation by different actors.
Det politiske budskab til regeringskonferencen må være, at resultatet af Konventets arbejde er det vigtigste resultat siden Rom-traktaten.
He said the work of the Convention had outstripped any of the previous IGCs and this was due to the wide participation.
Historisk arbejde Den tyske socialdemokrat Klaus HÄNSCH - der også er medlem af Konventets præsidium – fremhævede Konventets arbejde som historisk.
He said that the Constitution truly recognised, for the first time, the dual legitimacy of the Union, based on the peoples and the nations of Europe.
At 25 suveræne stater på trods af forskellige identiteter er villige til at dele fremtidig skæbne.
As he put it, it was ” unique ” to reach such an agreement affecting 25 Member States belonging to the EU.
Hänsch pegede på 6 afgørende resultater af Konventets arbejde:
He expressed particular satisfaction with the section relating to rights and duties of citizens and confirmation of the reality of the ” four freedoms ” enshrined in the Rome Treaty.
Borgernes rettigheder og pligter bliver en bindende del af den ny forfatningstraktat.
He felt that better clarity laid down in the draft text would improve transparency and democracy.
De berømte fire friheder fra Rom-traktaten indskrives.
Furthermore, its precision relating to ” subsidiarity ” or those areas where the EU could or could not act would be a distinct improvement appreciated by EU citizens across the board.
Klarhed om EU´s kompetencer– det bliver mere gennemskueligt for borgerne hvor grænserne for EU´s kompetence går.
He also drew attention to the proposal to make codecision applying to legislative questions and involving an equal role for the European Parliament and the European Council to be the rule rather than the exception.
EU-Parlamentet skal vælge EU-Kommissionens formand.
This, he felt, was a considerable step forward, as was the idea for the Commission President to be elected by the European Parliament following European elections.
Der bliver en større grad af ligevægt mellem EU´s institutioner.
He also felt that the balance between the various EU institutions had been maintained and that this was the way forward rather than a system based on the outdated 19 th century nation state.
„EU er ingen verdensmagt, men har ansvar som en sådan” – EU får en egentlig udenrigsminister.
For the EPP/ED, Elmar BROK (D) too welcomed the agreement, although he recognised that not all MEPs would be completely satisfied.
Hänsch afsluttede sit indlæg med at fremhæve EU´s kommende forfatningstraktat som en unik konstruktion – uden sidestykke og uden sammenligning med det 19. århundredes nationalstat.
Nevertheless it was better than the present situation, he argued, and therefore should be supported.
Han understregede, at en ny forfatningstraktat muliggør samarbejde på et helt nyt grundlag i og med at borgerne binder deres skæbne sammen.
In fact, he warned against national governments trying to water down the present agreement and urged MEPs to defend it whenever possible.
Barnet kunne have været smukkere, men det fortjener et langt liv, og det bidrager til en udvidelse af Europa-Parlamentets demokratiske kontrol.
Sylvia-Yvonne KAUFMANN (D) for GUE/NGL group stated that results of the Convention were not perfect but more than many had expected.
Europæisk borgerinitiativ Den tyske PDS'er Sylvia-Yvonne KAUFMANN mente, at der var tale om en milepæl i EU's integration - med væsentlige fremskridt.
For the Greens/EFA group, Monica FRASSONI (B), stated that there were still many issues outstanding and that the remaining few days before the European Council in Thessaloniki should be maximised.
Stemningen burde have været den samme i vore hjemlande som på Konventet, men det er den ikke, og der er snarere tale om en fiasko, som ikke bringer EU tættere på borgerne .
The leader of the British Conservatives, Jonathan EVANS (Wales) was another speaker who felt that the results should be put to the people in the form of a referendum, although he emphasised that what was on the table at the moment was only a ” draft ” and that it would be up to the IGC next year to take the final decisions.
Han opfordrede til at holde folkeafstemninger om forfatningen i alle lande.
He also said that any constitution, by definition, needed the approval of the people, and therefore called on all Member States to subject the results of the IGC to referenda.
Det fastslog EU's udenrigsrepræsentant, spanieren Javier SOLANA under Europa-Parlamentets debat om situationen i Mellemøsten.
The High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy, Javier SOLANA was in sombre mood when he updated MEPs on the latest developments in the Middle East.
"Vejviseren" er i princippet accepteret af begge parter, men den fortsatte "voldsspiral " svækker lyset.
The situation was, he said, grave after recent events, although he was able to detect a glimmer of hope.
Solana håbede på en snarlig våbenhvile, så man kan komme i gang med "vejviseren".
On the positive side, meetings between the US President and representatives of both Israel and the Palestinians were a sign of the intention to overcome the deadlock and he welcomed the publication of the ” roadmap ”.
Iran Solana understregede, at EU både økonomisk og materielt skal hjælpe til genopbygningen af Palæstinas infrastruktur, og han ønskede en fredelig vedvarende løsning i området, hvor man standser volden.
At a micro level he pointed to talks taking place at different levels between the Palestinians themselves and indeed the Palestinians and representatives of the Israeli government.
Patten understregede, at EU kan yde et væsentligt bidrag på flere områder:
The Commissioner also said that the EU would play a key role in the ” monitoring mechanism ” set up to assess progress towards peace.
Patten oplyste, at EU i 2003 vil anvende 132 mio. euro i Palæstina til institutionelle reformer og økonomisk genopbygning.
He welcomed the reform of the Palestinian Authority, in particular, the transparency of accounts and the increase in expenditure in Gaza and the West Bank.
Arafats isolatiom Den spanske PPE’er Gerardo GALEOTE QUECEDO sagde, at EU´s diplomatiske tilstedeværelse i Mellemøsten er central for at få stoppet volden i området.
Gerardo GALEOTE QUECEDO (E), for the EPP-ED group, welcomed the ” roadmap ” for peace in the region and also stated that it should not be hijacked by extremist groups.
Hvis målet for køreplanen skal opfyldes, er det nødvendigt at EU i fællesskab med USA lægger et fælles pres på de involverede parter.
He said that it gave a new impetus to the peace process and the ” Quartet’s ” role in pushing it forward and monitoring it would be essential.
Den spanske socialist Enrique BARÓN mente, at det er vigtigt at arbejde for, at Israel og Palæstina bliver to selvstændige stater med sikre og anerkendte grænser.
For the PES group, Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (E) also welcomed the publication of the ” roadmap ” and called it a new ” window for peace .”
EU må appellere til Hamas om øjeblikkeligt at stoppe sine terrorhandlinger.
For the Liberals Bob van den BOS (NL) took the view that there could never be peace in the Middle East with Hamas continuing to block an agreement.
Fortsætter Hamas sine voldshandlinger, må Hamas på listen over terrororganisationer.
He called for an international force comprising US and European troops under the auspices of NATO to be sent to the region and for Israel and the Palestinians to enter into meaningful negotiations.
Barón understregede, at den socialistiske gruppe støtter EU´s økonomiske og politiske forbindelser til Iran.
Luisa MORGANTINI (EUL/NGL, I) on the other hand, after paying tribute to the work of the EU’s Envoy to the region, Miguel MORATINOS , acknowledged the crucial role played by countries such as Egypt, but emphasised that the Israel army was in fact an ” army of occupation ” and without its presence an agreement to set up a Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders could be put into place.
Den hollandske liberale Bob van den BOS fastslog, at hvis Hamas fortsætter med at blokere for fredsprocessen og Israel konstant angribes, bliver der aldrig fred i området.
Jan DHAENE (Greens/EFA, B) was another speaker to emphasise the importance of all sides respecting the ” roadmap ” and indeed he underlined the crucial role the US could play, as could the EU if it acted with one voice.
Historisk ansvar Den belgiske grønne Jan DHAENE gik ind for en fredsbevarende styrke, støttet af EU, der har et historisk ansvar for at sikre fred i området.
He said the principle of respecting others underpinned the EU, and this principle he said, should be seen more evidently in the Middle East.
Den irske UEN’er Gerard COLLINS sagde, at det er vigtigt at skabe en palæstinensisk stat med territorial sikkerhed.
He welcomed what he called the timely intervention of George Bush and he expected to see a contiguous Palestinian state alongside Israel by 2005.
Bosættelser må stoppes, og Hamas må tvinges til en våbenhvile.
Two of the most difficult issues to resolve, he said, would be the status of east Jerusalem and the right of return.
Den franske EDD’er Paul COUTEAUX betegnede Solanas tale som ynkelig.
MEPs stress that a strong Europe is a precondition for a well-balanced partnership based on equality.
Han kritiserede USA for bevidst at bidrage til at øge skævheder på verdensplan.
The House calls upon all partners to avoid unilateral approaches and to return to multilateralism and to the United Nations framework in order to develop global governance.
USA har en skjult dagsorden i form af at ødelægge enhver arabisk magt, hvilket Irak-krigen var et bevis på.
MEPs furthermore, call for an absolute commitment to meeting the demands of developing countries in the current WTO round, including a joint commitment to ending agricultural protectionism against developing-country producers.
Respekt for menneskerettighederne!
Motions for resolutions - Illegal trade in light weapons
Ulla SANDBÆK fra JuniBevægelsen fastslog, at man skal holde "vejviseren" på rette vej, og det er nødvendigt med respekt for menneskerettighederne - ellers er det fuldstændigt meningsløst.
In order to achieve this the Council and EU governments should identify potential partners to pave the way for negotiations on such instruments, if necessary outside the framework of the UN and similar to the ‘Ottawa-style’ processes concerning personnel mines.
Ulla Sandbæk pegede på de illegale israelske bosættelser på andres områder.
During Wednesday's debate, MEPs had expressed their grave concern over the widespread use of small arms in major conflicts, as a result of the fact that these arms are easy to obtain and to use, including by child soldiers.
Hun sluttede med at opfordre kvartetten til at sikre, at internationale humanitære love overholdes af alle parter.
Each year hundreds of thousands of people are killed by small arms, they said.

Forslag til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning om vedtægt for og finansiering af europæiske politiske partier
Report on the Council common position for adopting a European Parliament and Council directive amending Council Directive 96/82/EC on the control of major-accident hazards involving dangerous substances
EP vedtog en betænkning af den tyske SPD'er Jo LEINEN , hvori man godkender EU-Kommissionens forslag til forordning om en vedtægt for og finansiering af europæiske politiske partier .
Parliament insisted on including all forms of mining-related activity, and the industrial use of potassium nitrate (although not its use in farming) in a directive designed to prevent industrial accidents such as Seveso, Toulouse, Baia Mare and Aznalcóllar ever happening again.
EP vedtog dog en lang række ændringer til Kommissionens forslag.
MEPs also want to see improved emergency training for staff.
Leinen-betænkningen blev vedtaget med 345 stemmer mod 102 - medens 34 undlod at stemme.
In adopting the report, MEPs are sending a message to the Council that they want still stricter measures to tackle the risks of industrial accidents, even though they noted that many of Parliament’s first-reading amendments from last July were accepted by Council.
Ved afstemningen vedtog EP en lang række kompromisændringsforslag.
MEPs now want to emphasise the importance of staff training.
EP fastslår, at for at kunne modtage finansiering fra EU-budgettet skal et politisk parti på europæisk plan hvert år fremsætte en anmodning over for Europa-Parlamentet.
Pointing to the large number of sub-contractors on the Toulouse site at the time of the accident, the Parliament called for rules on compulsory accident prevention and emergency training for employees to be spelt out more clearly than in the Council's common position.
Et politisk parti på europæisk plan skal bl.a. opfylde følgende betingelser:
Although the Council has included mining, it has excluded chemical and thermal processing of dangerous substances in mines.
være repræsenteret i mindst 1/4 af medlemsstaterne af medlemmer af Europa-Parlamentet enten i nationale parlamenter eller i de regionale forsamlinger eller
MEPs insisted on including in the directive all types of preparation entailing the use of dangerous substances, so as to ensure that plants such as Aznalcóllar, where there was a damburst in 1998, are not excluded.
i mindst 1/4 af medlemsstaterne have opnået mindst 3 % af de afgivne stemmer i hver af disse medlemsstater under det sidste valg til Europa-Parlamentet,
Parliament also adopted an amendment calling on the Commission and the Member States to develop guidelines within three years of the adoption of the directive for setting up a harmonised technical database of risk data and risk scenarios to be used for assessing compatibility between existing establishments covered by this directive and certain sensitive areas.
leve op til i sit program eller i sine handlinger til de principper, hvorpå EU bygger: principperne om frihed, demokrati, overholdelse af menneskerettighederne, om grundlæggende friheder og om retsstaten,
Guidelines should also be laid down on minimum safety distances between these two types of area.
have deltaget i valget til Europa-Parlamentet eller have udtrykt hensigt herom.
On information to the public, Parliament is proposing further clarifications.
Bevillingerne til finansiering af de europæiske politiske partier bør fastlægges i forbindelse med den årlige budgetprocedure .
The Council accepted Parliament’s position on information for the public but left out the provision that maps should be compiled showing the areas which might be affected by major accidents.
Et politisk parti på europæisk plan
The Parliament is therefore reinstating this requirement.
skal opgive sine indtægtskilder i form af en fortegnelse over donatorerne og de gaver, som hver donator har givet, med undtagelse af gaver, som ikke overstiger 500 euro.
Pictorial information would not only facilitate the work of management but also provide the public with clear information regarding the risks.

Zoonoses and zoonotic agents – approve the Common Position
Beslutningen blev vedtaget med 303 stemmer mod 109 - medens 47 undlod at stemme.
Marit PAULSEN (ELDR, S)
Europa-Parlamentet understreger, at EU kun vil blive anerkendt som partner, hvis det ud over sin økonomiske styrke har en reel forsvars- og sikkerhedspolitik, og at dette kræver flere afstemninger med kvalificeret flertal i Rådet både i forbindelse med udenrigshandel og på det udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitiske område og oprettelse af en fælles europæisk tjeneste samt øget samarbejde på det forsvarspolitiske område og stærkere og mere effektiv anvendelse af den militære kapacitet.
Report on the Council common position for adopting a European Parliament and Council directive on the monitoring of zoonoses and zoonotic agents, amending Council Decision 90/424/EEC and repealing Council Directive 92/117/EEC
Europa-Parlamentet er bekymret over, at ulovlig handel med og misbrug af håndvåben og lette våben undergraver respekten for menneskerettighederne, international humanitær ret og bæredygtig udvikling.
The House adopted a non-binding own-initiative report on a strategy to protect and conserve the marine environment.
Man mener, at der er et presserende behov for at føre nøje kontrol med den lovlige handel med håndvåben og lette våben for at forhindre, at disse våben omledes til den ulovlige handel og falder i hænderne på uønskede slutbrugere .

EU’s strukturfonde i 2001:Uudnyttede bevillinger!
Structural Funds in 2001
Ordfører: Helmuth MARKOV (GUE/NGL, D)
He lmuth MARKOV (EUL/NGL, D)
EP kritiserer, at alle programdokumenter for mål 1, mål 2, mål 3 og EU-initiativerne for perioden 2000-2006 først blev vedtaget i 2001, og derfor først kunne udnyttes af medlemslandene med en helt uholdbar forsinkelse.
Responsibility should be assigned to a single authority and a single minister in each Member State.
EP peger endvidere på, at der har været en manglende udnyttelse af betalingsbevillingerne på gennemsnitligt 30 % i forbindelse med mål 1 og mål 2 og på 60 % i forbindelse med mål 3.

EU’s Samhørighedsfond:Irland mister støtten!
Cohesion Fund in 2001 and enlargement
Ordfører: Dana Rosemary SCALLON (PPE-DE, IRL)
Dana Rosemary SCALLON (EPP-ED, Connacht/Ulster)
Kommissionens årsrapport for Samhørighedsfonden for (2001)
Report on the Commission’s Annual Report on the Cohesion Fund (2001)
EP vedtog en betænkning af den irske PPE'er Dana SCALLON om EU's Samhørighedsfond i 2001.
The issue of outstanding commitments to be paid still remained a serious weakness.
Budgetrammen for perioden 2000-2006 er på 18 mia. euro.
The most controversial point is who should be responsible for managing the funding available (€8.4 million per year).
Heraf vil Spanien modtage 61-63 %, Grækenland 16-18 %, Irland 2-6 % og Portugal 16-18 %.
Expenditure is permitted for administrative costs and costs linked to logistical support, meetings, research, cross-border events, studies, information and publications and electoral campaigns.
Irland vil miste støtten fra Samhørighedsfonden i 2003, eftersom Irland nu ligger 90 % over EU-gennemsnittet for de nuværende 15 EU-lande.
To obtain funding, a European must have received at least 3% of the votes cast at the most recent European elections in at least one quarter of the Member States.
13 betænkninger vedtaget af EP torsdag den 19. juni 2003
