- "Traktaten om en forfatning for Europa er et godt kompromis, og den udgør en væsentlig forbedring i forhold til de eksisterende EU-traktater, hvilket vil give mærkbare fordele for Europas borgere, for Europa-Parlamentet som borgernes demokratiske repræsentant og for EU's institutioner - men også for medlemslandene, deres regioner og lokale myndigheder og dermed for EU som helhed" .
In a joint resolution adopted by Parliament with 560 votes in favour, 1 against and 19 abstentions, MEPs expressed their condolences and deepest sympathy to the peoples and governments of the afflicted countries, as well as to all the families of victims in Southeast Asia, East Africa, Europe and elsewhere.
Det fastslår EP i en betænkning af det britiske labourmedlem Richard CORBETT og den spanske PPE'er Inigo MENDEZ DE VIGO .
The House expresses its thanks to the people of the countries affected for the way they responded to the human disaster, despite their own personal suffering and loss, giving so much succour to European nationals affected by the disaster.
Corbett/Mendez de Vigo-betænkningen blev vedtaget med 500 stemmer mod 137 - medens 40 MEP'er undlod at stemme.
The emergency response MEPs call on the international community to pay special attention to the situation of the 1.5 million children who, according to UNICEF’s estimates, have been affected by the disaster.
EP peger på, at den omstændighed, at hver eneste national regering i EU har tilsluttet sig forfatningen, viser, at medlemslandenes folkevalgte regeringer alle betragter dette kompromis som det grundlag, de ønsker at samarbejde på i fremtide n.
The House notes, moreover, the Commission’s intention of providing for additional financial assistance of up to €350m for rehabilitation and reconstruction aid to help in the relief efforts following the Asian tsunami disaster.
Hver national regering bør udvise størst muligt politisk engagement i arbejdet for at sikre, at ratifikationen kan være gennemført inden den 1. november 2006.
MEPs welcome the EU’s rapid disbursement of the initial €23m, as well as the involvement of ECHO experts in the relief effort.
EP konstaterer med tilfredshed, at forfatningen giver borgerne et mere klart indtryk af EU's væsen og mål, fordi
Long-term needs Parliament stresses that rebuilding the affected areas must focus on improving the situation of the surviving inhabitants by aiming to reduce poverty as well as future vulnerability to tsunami.
det komplicerede sæt af EU-traktater erstattes af et enkelt, mere letlæseligt dokument , der klart redegør for EU's mål og beføjelser samt disse beføjelsers grænser,
MEPs insist that all funds given for reconstruction must be subject to full transparency and accountability before their disbursement.
EU's dobbelte legitimitet som en union af stater og borgere
Parliament calls on the governments concerned to develop National Reconstruction Plans which include mechanisms for a broad spectrum of civil society to participate in their design and implementation.
forvirringen mellem "EF" og "EU" vil høre
Statement by President Borrell
op , eftersom EU bliver en enkelt retlig enhed og struktur,
President Josep BORRELL called it a " terrible tragedy ".
EU's retsakter forenkles og deres terminologi gøres klarere gennem anvendelse af mere letforståelige betegnelser, således at "europæiske love" og "europæiske rammelove" erstatter de nuværende betegnelser direktiver, forordninger, afgørelser, rammeafgørelser m.m.,
President Borrell informed the House that Commission President José BARROSO had kept him up- to-date with developments.
forfatningen giver garantier for, at EU aldrig vil blive en centraliseret, almægtig "superstat" .
Mr Borrell stated that he had sent a message to the Jakarta Conference stating that there would be no delay in EU budgetary assistance.
Mindretalsudtalelse Jens-Peter BONDE fra JuniBevægelsen og Mogens CAMRE fra Dansk Folkeparti havde sammen med 2 andre MEP'er lavet en mindretalsudtalelse, hvori man fastslår, at den foreslåede EU-forfatning truer selve ideen med demokrati .
President Borrell outlined that the Budgets Committee, (along with the Council), would be deciding on Tuesday whether to release a further €100 million from the reserve.
Vi vil ganske vist stadig kunne stemme, men på mange områder vil en flertalsafgørelse i EU gå forud for vores egne nationale love, argumenterer man i mindretalsudtalelsen.
The Parliament would also examine any new proposals from the Commission on reconstruction.
Hvorfor skulle vi derfor stemme "ja" til en udhuling af demokratiet?
Finally, Mr Borrell outlined that two MEPs would be going to the Geneva Donor Conference as part of the EU delegation.
Europa fortjener bedre end det foreliggende udkast til en forfatning for Europa.
He also stressed the need for a prevention alarm system to be built up.
Vi forkaster derfor forfatningen i sin nuværende form".
MEPs support aid to tsunami-hit countries
Man vedtog også et ændringsforslag fra PPE-gruppen, hvori man fastslår, at der oprettes en fælles tjeneste for EU's optræden udadtil, der skal være så tæt tilknyttet Kommissionen som muligt og føre til en styrkelse af det fælles Europa.
He said the Luxembourg presidency had responded immediately - as well as sending representatives to the region, there had been immediate contacts with the UN and a special meeting of the General Affairs Council on 7 January.
"Musketer-eden" EP nedstemte et forslag fra PPE-gruppen om at indføre "musketer-eden" fra NATO-traktatens artikel 5 i forfatningstraktaten.
He stated that it was important that EU assistance should not be at the expense of other development spending priorities.
PPE-gruppen havde foreslået følgende tekst: "den udvider samarbejdet inden for den fælles sikkerheds- og forsvarspolitik ved at fastsætte en forpligtelse for de øvrige medlemsstater til at yde hjælp og bistand, såfremt en medlemsstat udsættes for væbnet aggression på sit område".
The Council had also discussed plans for the future: for an early warning mechanism and prevention strategy, and for the development of a rapid reaction force, an increased EU role in co-ordinating aid structures and the strengthening of consular help.
PPE-forslaget blev nedstemt med 384 stemmer mod 276 - medens 19 undlod at stemme.
They had also examined the options for debt servicing issues.
To ændringsforslag af henholdsvis Jens-Peter BONDE fra IND/DEM-gruppen og fra GUE-gruppen om at forkaste forfatningstraktaten blev nedstemt.
On 31 January, the Council would meet again to take these ideas forward into an action plan for the future.
GUE-forslaget blev nedstemt med 602 stemmer mod 33 - medens 42 undlod at stemme.
Commission President José Manuel BARROSO 's intervention is summarised below.
Forfatningstraktaten:Stort flertal i EP
However, as Kofi Annan has underlined, a billion US dollars will be needed immediately.
I Europa-Parlamentet er der et stort flertal for EU's forfatningstraktat, som skal til folkeafstemning i mindst 10 EU-lande.
In answer to this, I propose, as part of the pledge, that a further €100m is allocated from the emergency reserve to assist in this effort.
Behov for en ny model På grund af EU-udvidelsen er vi nødt til at skifte vores gamle minibus ud med en ny, større og bedre model, sagde Richard CORBETT (PSE, UK).
I had envisioned that part of this would come from fresh funds and part from a reprogramming of funds already planned for the affected countries.
Der skal være plads til nye passagerer, og der skal være en større motor, så vi kan klare bakkerne forude, sagde han.
Although the reconstruction task will take up several years, the financing of this reconstruction effort should be provided in this and next year.
Han efterlyste også et GPS-navigationssystem, så man kan finde ud af, hvor man befinder sig, og hvordan man kommer videre.
Waiting for fresh funds to come on stream will take up to six months – we need to move with reconstruction funds now.
Richard Corbett fastslog derfor, at der i højeste grad er behov for en forfatningstraktat for EU.
All donors are responding in the same way – including the World Bank – to leverage funds for tsunami as fast as possible.
Han vurderede, at den foreliggende traktat giver en række fordele:
Will this lead to a cancellation of already planned projects?
Den erstatter en række traktater med et enkelt dokument, som skaber klarhed om EU's funktion og fastlægger kompetencer og forenkler procedurer.
No – if governments decide with us that a tsunami related project takes immediate priority, the originally planned project can be taken up in 2006 or 2007, under the new financial perspective.
På den baggrund opfordrede Richard Corbett sine kolleger til at give forfatningstraktaten størst mulig opbakning.
Quoting from a draft resolution I have seen from Parliament, I can assure you that ”the poor across the world will not pay the price of this disaster.”
En ny æra for Europa Íñigo MÉNDEZ DE VIGO (PPE, E) forestillede sig glæden blandt EU's grundlæggere over at se etableringen af et solidarisk Europa, som hviler på et demokratisk fundament og overholdelse af menneskerettighederne.
In Indonesia, the Commission has a €35m programme which aims to improve access and quality of health care at the community level.
Han vurderede, at forfatningstraktaten styrker EU's rolle udadtil.
If government agrees, this can be extended quickly to help rebuild and strengthen health care facilities damaged by the tsunami.
Efter hans mening er det vigtigste aspekt imidlertid, at den giver borgerne mulighed for at deltage aktivt i et fælles projekt, nemlig en union af stater og borgere.
Alternatively, in Sri Lanka, we are planning to co-operate with the World Bank on a housing programme to help resettlement of internally displaced persons.
Íñigo Méndez de Vigo understregede, at EU er mere end et indre marked.
Similarly, this could be broadened quickly to help rehouse families displaced by the tsunami.
Det er godt nok et kapitalistisk system med en human dimension, men det er frem for alt et humanitært projekt, der hviler på fælles værdier, sagde han.
Whatever the level of new funding, I stress that the Commission needs to look at how planned projects can be reprogrammed in this way to ensure that we can respond on reconstruction within the critical first months.
Med forfatningstraktaten begraves det såkaldte demokratiske underskud, og der skabes mere demokrati og transparens, fastslog han.
But the Commission’s pledge was provisional and could be revisited once final costings are in.
Vedtagelsen af en forfatningstraktat for Europa vil være indledningen til en ny æra for det europæiske kontinent, sluttede han.
We already know needs are huge and there could be room even for a higher contribution of fresh funds if both Parliament and Council would agree to it.
Forfatningstraktaten fremmer demokratiet Den fungerende formand for Rådet, den luxembourgske viceudenrigsminister Nicolas SCHMIT , lykønskede ordførerne med et godt stykke arbejde.
The Commission will need to also address punctual and particular projects that will be better delivered by direct implementation rather than passing through the national budgets.
Han understregede, at forfatningstraktaten fremmer demokratiet i EU og styrker borgernes rettigheder.
For example, there may be some specific work that is started in the humanitarian phase that can be usefully continued under the initial reconstruction phase.
EU er først og fremmest et samarbejde, der er baseret på fælles værdier, fastslog han.
Such cases would also warrant the continued channelling of a part of our funds through NGOs.
Samtidig mindede han om, at borgerne nu selv får ordet i ratifikationsprocessen.
In every successful emergency programme organised by the Commission, the Parliament has played a pivotal role.
Rådet vil aktivt støtte denne proces i samarbejde med medlemsstaterne og de øvrige institutioner, sluttede han.
In this regard, I think of Afghanistan or the Balkans.
Rettigheder, demokrati og åbenhed Den svenske kommissær Margot WALLSTRÖM fremhævede Europa-Parlamentets rolle i udarbejdelsen af forfatningstraktaten.
And this role is not simply to agree on funding but to follow the programme and to lend political weight when needed to ensure the programme’s political goals remain on track.
Hun glædede sig over, at der hermed er skabt mulighed for at samle 12 forskellige traktattekster i et enkelt dokument.
I recognise the importance placed by Parliament on additional measures beyond aid that the EU can provide to further help the countries affected by the tsunami.
Det vil gøre EU mere overskueligt og fremme borgernes deltagelse i beslutningsprocessen, mente hun.
You can rest assured that all Commission departments are mobilised to investigate in their particular areas what can be done in this regard.
Hun sammenfattede forfatningstraktatens indhold som flere rettigheder, mere demokrati og mere åbenhed.
This includes support to G8 debt moratorium initiatives, investigation of possible trade initiatives ease trade access to the Union for the countries’ concerned and work with the governments in seeking to facilitate the implementation of the European Investment Bank’s ”Indian Ocean Tsunami Facility”.
Margot Wallström mindede om, at europæiske meningsmålinger har vist, at borgerne ønsker en forfatningstraktat, men at de ofte føler sig mangelfuldt orienteret om indholdet.
The Member States and Commission agreed in the General Affairs Council to offer direct support to the countries in their efforts to develop early warning systems so they will be better able to respond to future natural disasters.
Ratifikationsprocessen vil give mulighed for at afhjælpe denne mangel og samtidig diskutere fremtidens EU, sagde hun.
The Commission is also considering proposals for a new EU approach to reinforce capacity for disaster prevention.
I den forbindelse lagde hun vægt på at fremhæve den konkrete indflydelse på borgernes dagligdag.
I welcome proposals for the development of a rapid response humanitarian capacity for the European Union which would permit it to enhance its assistance in future disasters and humanitarian crises.
For eksempel har det Indre Marked lettet passage af grænserne og gjort mere end 60 millioner tolddokumenter overflødige, sagde hun.
I noted with interest the ideas being floated on the possibility of supplying fishing vessels from decommissioned EU fleets to the fishing communities in the affected countries.
Kommissionsmedlemmerne vil gå aktivt ind i denne informationsproces, der også skal kunne omfatte fælles initiativer med medlemsstaterne og institutionerne, sluttede hun.
The idea is very appealing - we have all seen pictures of boats wrecked by the tsunami and our own fishing industry is about to destroy boats from its own fleet in line with fishery limits.
Gud og kristne-jødiske arv Under den politiske ordførerrunde sagde formanden for PPE-gruppen, den tyske CDU'er Hans-Gert PÖTTERING , at PPE-gruppen siger "ja" til forfatningstraktaten, medens ED-gruppen forbeholder sig retten til at have deres egen mening.
My services are currently exploring whether vessels are available, what state of repair they are in and, if they meet the needs of the fishing communities in the tsunami affected areas, how they could be made available to fishermen in the tsunami affected areas.
Værdierne er det afgørende i forfatningstraktaten, idet de er grundlaget for politisk handling.
I hope that this initiative will work and will report back to you with the results of our work.
Menneskelig værdighed og en retsstat med demokrati og solidaritet er nogle af værdierne.
Last, but not least, we must recognise the political dimension of the tsunami crisis on the political problems in Aceh and in the north and east of Sri Lanka.
Hans-Gert Pöttering fastslog, at Europa er en smeltedigel - ikke en superstat .
In doing that, we will of course pay due attention to the sensitivities of the two countries concerned. "
Den nationale identitet spiller en stor rolle.
Political Group interventions
EU bygger på "fællesskabsmetoden", og der er behov for et stærkt Europa-Parlament og en stærk Kommission.
Nirj DEVA (UK), for the EPP-ED group, reported that he had just returned from Sri Lanka and he expressed his gratitude to all those who had donated aid.
Ministerrådet skal være gennemskueligt - og handle åbent.
Aid from EU countries, he said, now was close to €1.5bn and rising.
Forfatningen er vores vej til det 21. århundrede med frihed, demokrati og fred, sluttede Pöttering.
He welcomed the initial €23m released by the EU and the further €350m promised.
EU er en intelligent metode til at overvinde vanskelighederne i det 21. århundrede.
The need to end conflicts both in Aceh and Sri Lanka was highlighted by Mr Deva.
Og socialistgruppen stemmer for Corbett/Mendez de Vigo-betænkningen.
He called for " a hand up and not merely a hand out. "
Værdierne i forfatningstraktaten er universelle værdier , og traktaten fastsætter det demokratiske grundlag for vor fælles fremtid med socialt ansvar , sluttede Martin Schulz.
Martin SCHULZ (DE), for the PES group, stated that he had agreed with much of the discourse on the aftermath of the Tsunami from all EU institutions.
Liberale og sociale værdier Briten Andrew DUFF talte på vegne af den liberale gruppe, og han understregede, at det primære argument for forfatningstraktaten er, at den styrker vor evne til at handle og at stå på egne ben i verden.
The tragedy underlined, he said, the " global village nature of the world " and the need for solidarity at a supranational level.
Hvis man er for Europa, så er man for forfatningen, som skaber balance mellem store og små stater, og som har klare liberale og sociale værdier .
This is why the EU's contribution was particularly important.
Forfatningen skaber et solidt parlamentarisk demokrati, og EP skal udfylde det strategiske rum reformerne åbner op for.
He welcomed the reconstruction proposals from the Commission.
Andrew Duff fastslog, at nu skal vi koordinere kampagnerne i de lande, der skal have folkeafstemning, så vi kan vinde disse folkeafstemninger.
The most striking piece of news he had heard in recent days, he said, was the fact that the citizens of Beslan had raised 1 million rubles (€30 000) for the victims of the tragedy in Asia.
I Storbritannien skal vi overbevise højrefløjen, og i Frankrig skal man overbevise venstrefløjen.
This, he said, showed the remarkable solidarity between peoples.
Forfatningen er et vigtigt skridt i retning af integration - og der er intet alternativ.
He stated that it would be a challenge for the United Nations.
Forfatningen fastsætter fælles værdier og klare målsætninger, og den øger gennemskueligheden og den demokratiske legitimitet.
He welcomed the initial EU response and the generous private and public aid.
Formanden for GUE-gruppen, franskmanden Francis WURTZ sagde, at hans gruppe er imod Corbett/Mendez de Vigo-betænkningen og forfatningstraktaten, men vi er åbne for alternativer .
In the future, the EU should be able to send infrastructure following major disasters including floating hospitals.
Wurtz gik ind for et Europa, hvor man styrer kapitalmarkedet, og hvor virksomhederne er socialt og etisk ansvarlige .
Mr Watson pointed out that the stricken countries would pay more in trade tariffs in one year then they would receive in aid.
Vi må ikke bukke under for kapitalismen, og lønmodtagerne skal gives øgede muligheder.
He also stressed that existing technology could save many lives if it were available in all nations.
EU bør være en aktør på verdensplan, hvor man skal forbyde krig som et middel til konfliktløsning.
Daniel COHN-BENDIT (DE), for the Greens/EFA group, stated that it was difficult to debate after such a tragedy.
Franskmanden Philippe de VILLIER talte på vegne af IND/DEM-gruppen, og han beklagede, at man i forfatningstraktatteksten havde erstattet ordet suverænitet med identitet.
National governments alone were not in a position to cope with the tragedy.
Ireren Brian CROWLEY talte på vegne af UEN-gruppen, og han sagde, at modstandernes argumenter mod forfatningstraktaten er de samme, som man brugte i 60'erne, 70'erne og 80'erne.
Speaking for the GUE/NGL group, Vittorio Emanuele AGNOLETTO (IT) expressed concern that after the first few weeks had passed, there was a risk of cynical manipulation.
Forfatningstraktaten er et godt dokument for EU's fremtid og især de små medlemslande.
Foreign debt for the affected countries should be written off, he said.
Crowley ønskede en reel og ærlig debat - uden løgne .
He also called for at least a temporary relaxation of immigration rules.
Nej til fåmandsvælde Jens-Peter BONDE (JuniBevægelsen) talte på vegne af Gruppen for Selvstændighed/Demokrati (IND/DEM) advarede mod at sige ja til forfatningstraktaten.
Georgios KARATZAFERIS (EL) spoke for the Independence and Democracy group.
Det vil svare til at udstede en check, hvor modtageren selv kan udfylde beløbet, sagde han.
He asked how it would be possible to avoid intermediaries taking a cut of aid money.
I den forbindelse nævnte han en række tilfælde, hvor det fortsat synes uklart, hvorledes de endelige beslutninger vil blive truffet i EU.
We should, he said, bear in mind that the effects of the tsunami had been something like a nuclear holocaust in the worst affected places.
Han påviste også en manglende indbyrdes sammenhæng mellem visse af forfatningstraktatens bestemmelser.
He said the disaster showed it was wrong to shift EU funding from basic research to space research, when the former was the best way to address the risk of future such catastrophes.
Det ene øjeblik synes de at respektere den danske Grundlov, for i næste øjeblik at sætte den ud af kraft, sagde han.
Sebastiano MUSUMECI (IT), for the UEN group, said it was vital for the EU to have a civil protection unit, to prevent the spectacle of the EU impotently standing by while the disaster affected areas asked for support.
Efter hans opfattelse skal forfatninger skrives for stater, mens der mellem stater skal indgås aftaler.
This would be the best way to structure future aid to deal with natural disasters.
Han ønskede at fokusere på grænseoverskridende problemer for på den måde at skabe demokratisk tilskud, ikke demokratisk underskud.
He questioned whether United States support was more about polishing its image and re-establishing influence in the region than about help for the victims.
Hvis vi siger ja til dette forslag uden senere at kunne ændre det ved et valg, så er der ikke tale om demokrati, men fåmandsvælde, sluttede han.
It was time to show solidarity and speedily send aid - slow, bureaucratic responses should be avoided.
Efter hans mening vil forfatningstraktaten medvirke til at svække demokratiet i Europa stik i mod den erklærede hensigt.
The disaster had shown we all had a shared fate in the global theatre of environmental risk.
Der er reelt tale om organiseret iltsvind for det europæiske demokrati, sagde han.
She said she had been moved by the heartfelt global response to the events.
Han vurderede, at projektet i sig selv er et forsøg på at stadfæste elitens magt til at styre udviklingen, bl.a. ved stort set at umuliggøre enhver form for demokratisk kontrol.
Having travelled to South India to see relief operations at first hand, she praised the EU's immediate response and also the selfless decision of the Indian government to say that aid should go as a priority to the worst affected countries.
Kampen mod forfatningstraktaten er derfor en kamp for demokratiet, og den agter vi at vinde uden for denne sal, sluttede han.
In the longer run, however, it was vital that support for India should not be reduced to release funds for reconstruction elsewhere.
Stormagtsregime Mogens CAMRE (Dansk Folkeparti) talte på vegne af Gruppen Union for Nationernes Europa (UEN).
Eoin RYAN (UEN, IE) welcomed the " extraordinary respon se" of governments and people around the world.
Han understregede, at EU hidtil har været et samarbejde mellem ligeværdige stater.
He called for military and civil resources to be made available in the future as the US had already done.
Heri så han en trussel mod medlemsstaternes selvstændighed.
Mr Bowis expressed his concern for the plight of the many orphans.
