Afstemingen fandt sted efter den vel nok længste deat om en enkeltemne nogensinde.
It was aware of the challenges it faced but was confident that it would ultimately be evaluated fairly.
Udvidelsesdebatten - i går tirsdag den 19. november - varede i 8 ½ time!
Like previous speakers, he argued that the candidate countries must take part in the IGC.
EP håber nu, at både medlemslandene og kandidatlandene vil udvise den nødvendige smidighed i de sidste afgørende forhandlinger inden og i København 12.-13. december.
The rights of Member States must be preserved, he said, pointing out that all parliaments of the candidate states had played a supervisory role in the negotiations.
Man fremhæver princippet om solidaritet mellem medlemslandene, hvilket også betyder, at de finansielle virkninger af udvidelsen skal fordeles ligeligt mellem de 15 nuværende medlemslande.
He then referred to a recent resolution by the EU/Lithuania Joint Parliamentary Committee, which, on the question of Kaliningrad, had said that Lithuania must join the Schengen area at the same time as the other countries in the next wave of enlargement.
Korruption og organiseret kriminalitet Europa-Parlamentet vedbliver at lægge stor vægt på bekæmpelse af korruption og øget gennemsigtighed i de offentlige udgifter, og man forventer at modtage en rapport fra hvert ansøgerland om korruption og organiseret kriminalitet inden afslutningen af tiltrædelsesforhandlingerne.
Anta RUGATE (EPP-ED, Opposition, Latvia) focused on the question of subsidiarity, saying she favoured a unicameral system in Europe, so as to avoid complicated procedures.
Rapporterne skal indeholde faste tilsagn om, hvordan det enkelte land planlægger at bekæmpe korruption og organiseret kriminalitet i fremtiden.
The division of powers in Europe was a key issue and should involve an increased role for national parliaments to ensure greater openness of EU affairs in the eyes of the people, in particular before decisions were taken in the European Parliament.
EP minder de 10 førende ansøgerlande om, at reformerne skal fortsættes på alle områder i lang tid efter tiltrædelsen, for at de kan opfylde de forpligtelser, de har indgået under udvidelsesforhandlingerne.
Roman JAKIC (ELDR, Government, Slovenia) spoke of the symbolism of flags saying the EU flag had always stood for freedom, democracy, justice and human rights.
EP anmoder derfor indtrængende alle aktører om ikke at slække på deres reformbestræbelser , når forhandlingerne en gang er afsluttet.
On the practical issue of the negotiations, he believed a well-balanced proposal had been agreed and should help avoid any bitterness in his country, which was keen to ensure that the new countries were equal, fully-fledged members of the EU.
Administrative og retlige problemer Europa-Parlamentet minder også ansøgerlandene om, at den administrative og retlige gennemførelse af gældende EU-ret stadig er det største problem .
Peeter KREIZBERG (ELDR, Government, Estonia), while welcoming the idea of European unity, stressed that it was important not to ignore differences and the experience of the immediate past.
Man støtter derfor Kommissionen i gennemførelsen af dens administrative handlingsplan, der har til formål at udvide ansøgerlandenes administrative og retlige kapacitet.
A stronger Commission and an increase in qualified majority voting would need to be justified.
Handel med kvinder EP beklager, at handel med kvinder og børn stadig er et stort problem i mange ansøgerlande.
Like other speakers, he said the candidate countries must participate in the IGC.
Man henstiller derfor indtrængende til de nuværende EU-lande hurtigt at gennemføre den rammeafgørelse om bekæmpelse af menneskehandel, som EU's Ministerråd vedtog i august 2002, og man opfordrer ansøgerlandene til at gennemføre disse fuldt ud.
According to Andreas CHRISTOU (EUL/NGL, Opposition, Cyprus) both the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities supported accession to the EU.
Under debatten om Elmar Brok-betænkningen om EU's udvidelse med 10 nye medlemslande - som fandt sted tirsdag den 19. november 2002 om eftermiddagen - oplyste den danske Europaminister Bertel Haarder, at Ministerrådet i går i Bruxelles var nået til enighed om, at tiltrædelsesdatoen for de nye lande bør være den 1. maj 2004.
He emphasised his country's strategic position in the far east of the Mediterranean and then turned to the UN proposal on Cyprus, which he said had yesterday received backing from the majority of parties in his country.
Tyrkiet i centrum!
The hope was for reunification via a federal solution.
Et evt. tyrkisk EU-medlemskab spillede en vigtig rolle under EP-debatten om EU's udvidelse.
Michael FRENDO (EPP-ED, Government, Malta) said it was important that no-one should be left lagging behind in Europe.
Kløgt og visdom?
The candidate countries must be seen as real partners, not second-class members.
Under forelæggelsen af sin betænkning sagde Elmar BROK , at vi i formiddags har set den historiske dimension, som vi befinder os midt i .
He was worried that recent developments on agricultural subsidies would lead the Polish people to oppose EU membership.
Han mente, at ansøgerlandene har udvist en modig holdning gennem de store ændringer i deres sociale, politiske og økonomiske systemer.
He said Romania would make every effort to fulfil the accession criteria and become a full member of the Union by 2007.
Men der er stadig uløste problemer, og han nævnte her mindretalsrettigheder og korruption og svindel.
However he reminded MEPs that not all Czechs agreed about how the institutional framework of the European Union should be organised and he did not share the reigning Social Democratic and Christian Democratic views.
Brok håbede, at alle nu vil udvise kløgt og visdom i de sidste afgørende forhandlinger, og at det hele ikke strander på grund af smålighed.
It was thanks to them, and to many people all over Europe who never believed in a divided European continent, that enlargement had been made possible.
Overveje tyrkisk medlemskab?
The Hungarians now strongly supported membership of the European Union.
Elmar Brok understregede, at Københavns-kriterierne ikke må udvandes, og at de bør opfyldes fuldt ud.
Yunal Said LUTFI from Bulgaria (ELDR, Government) said Bulgaria had always belonged to the European family through its cultural heritage.
Hvis Tyrkiet opfylder betingelserne, så er vi nødt til at overveje tyrkisk medlemskab.
European values were helping Bulgaria to reform itself after 45 years of communism.
Vi bør i alle fald give Tyrkiet chancen , sluttede Elmar Brok.
Bulgaria was now a model country as regards minority rights in a free society.
Målet: Europas genforening Den danske Europaminister Bertel HAARDER håbede at sætte punktum på udvidelsesforhandlingerne om 23 dage i København.
He added that Bulgarians were ready to face the challenge but needed a clear roadmap with conditions equivalent to those given to the first candidate countries to join the Union.
Målet er Europas genforening, og i dag har vi holdt generalprøve.
Róbert FICO from Slovakia (PES, Opposition) emphasised that there was an agreement between the government and the opposition about joining the European Union.
Det kan godt lade sig gøre, og man kan tolke til 23 sprog.
Seventy percent of Slovaks were in favour of membership and sometimes they even expected the EU to solve internal Slovak problems.
Haarder mente, at formiddagens debat med deltagelse af parlamentsmedlemmer fra ansøgerlandenes parlamenter havde været en historisk begivenhed.
In fact there was a lack of information about what enlargement really meant and therefore an information campaign would be needed, otherwise there would be too much scope for extremist political movements.
Han takkede derfor EP, som havde demonstreret, at det kan lade sig gøre.
He also called for the powers of the European Parliament to be strengthened by the Convention.
1. maj 2004!
He asked for Parliament's understanding and support on three issues: the problems with Ignalina power plant, agricultural subsidies for Lithuania and the Kaliningrad questions.
I går skrev man også historie i Bruxelles, hvor man holdt et uformelt ministermøde med alle 25 lande - umiddelbart før EU-udenrigsministermødet.
Arturs Krisjanis KARINS from Latvia (PES, Government) said that Latvia had a long history as an occupied country.
De 10 nye lande skal også have kommissærer uden portefølje fra den 1. maj 2004 - men det kræver EP's forståelse.
Slovenia had joined the Council of Europe 10 years ago but the debate made him even prouder as he was able to address the House in Slovenian.
Den nye Kommission kan tiltræde den 1. november 2004, efter at den er godkendt af Europa-Parlamentet, fastslog Haarder.
He said he was a strong supporter of EU membership but also wanted the differences between various nationalities to continue in the future.
"Sangbund" for udvidelsen Bertel Haarder understregede, at vi bør vise respekt for kandidatlandenes indsats.
The EU, he pointed out, could not solve Slovenia's internal problems; this was for the Slovenians to do.
De har gennemført gennemgribende reformer og opnået store fremskridt omkring demokrati, menneskerettigheder, markedsøkonomi og forvaltning.
Janno REILJAN from Estonia (UEN, Opposition) told the House that the Estonian people were not ready to support the gradual path towards federalism suggested by the draft constitution produced by the Presidency of the Convention.
Vi må ikke skuffe deres berettigede forventninger om hurtig tiltrædelse.
He felt this might even diminish Estonian support for EU membership.
Haarder takkede EP for dets klare og uforbeholdne støtte til udvidelsen, idet EP har lagt en "sangbund" for udvidelsesdebatten .
However divided, Cyprus and the government party wanted to achieve a solution that respected international law and was in line with EU legislation, the "acquis communautaire".
Han håbede nu på en grundig og sober udvidelsesdebat både i EU og i ansøgerlandene.
Christian CARDONA from Malta (PES, Opposition) said EU enlargement was a politically sensitive issue in Malta.
Den tyske EU-udvidelseskommissær Günter VERHEUGEN mente, at EP har levet op til sin rolle, og vist at det repræsenterer borgerne.
He said that while his party did not agree with EU membership it was willing to strengthen ties with the European Union and wanted to participate actively in the work of the Convention.
EP har ikke opfattet udvidelsen teknisk, men som et politisk arbejde , hvilket viser, at udvidelsen også har en "sjæl" fastslog Verheugen.
He was against membership for economic reasons and was afraid that integration would have severe consequences for Malta.
Han understregede, at tiltrædelsesdatoen den 1. maj 2004 ligger fast , og at man forventer, at Rumænien og Bulgarien kan tiltræde i 2007.
Andrzej LEPPER (Independent, Opposition, Poland) lamented the decimation of Polish industry - in textiles, chemicals, transport, mining and steel - as well as of agriculture.
Og hvorfor skulle man afbryde den succesrige strategi?
It was now time for Poland to get something back.
Samtlige kandidatlande skal behandles ens, og de får først en dato for udvidelsesforhandlingernes start, når de politiske kriterier er opfyldt, og det er de ikke i dag.
Mr Lepper warned Brussels and Strasbourg that if the Poles were conned, if the political elites manipulated the Polish people and joined the EU against their will, then there was a danger that this would be the beginning of the end of this kind of EU, where the rich suck the blood of the poor.
Vi bør nu overveje, hvilken rolle et udvidet EU bør spille i verden.
Therefore the EU institutions should be given greater legitimacy.
EU er en vigtig aktør i øjeblikket, men vor internationale rolle bør styrkes - også set i lyset af 11. september.
The European Commission must be answerable to the European Parliament and Mr Prodi's job must be the most important of all.
Den tyske socialdemokrat Iannis SAKELLARIOU understregede, at udvidelsen er et historisk projekt, og at vi bør gøre den til en succes.
Roumen Stoyanov OVCHAROV (PES, Opposition, Bulgaria) hoped that the European Council in Copenhagen would make the same commitment to Bulgaria and Romania that it gave a year ago to the ten applicant countries which are set to join the EU in 2004.
Det enestående ved EU er, at man forener folk ved forhandlingsbordet og ikke gennem skyttegrave.
If Lithuanian wishes were not taken into account, social differentiation in the countryside would increase.
Magten er hos bureaukrater og ikke hos soldater.
He pleaded for higher milk and sugar quotas and for a transition period as regards the sale of land.
Historisk chance Den tyske PDS'er Andre BRIE fastslog, at det meste af hans gruppe ville stemme for Brok-betænkningen, idet vi må udnytte den historiske chance .
Implementation of economic policies needed to be strengthened, as well as the administrative capacities for making use of the Cohesion Fund.
Han pegede dog på 3 svagheder i Brok-betænkningen, nemlig
It was important to remember that enlargement was a two-way process, not a unilateral one.
at de sociale og økonomiske problemer i ansøgerlandene var blevet ignoreret,
Marios MATSAKIS (ELDR, Opposition, Cyprus) admitted to mixed feelings, of both satisfaction and uncertainty.
de nye medlemslande bliver ikke ligestillet fra begyndelsen og
He pleaded with the EU to honour its promises and not be afraid of taking on new challenges.
grænseregionerne s problemer overses.
This would be a test of Europe's credibility.
Lagendijk var af den opfattelse, at EU ikke kan undlade at være imødekommende, hvis Tyrkiet lever op til kriterierne.
Restructuring was essential for Poland to modernise.
Den irske UEN'er Niall ANDREWS mente, at man går alt for hurtigt frem i forhold til befolkningernes ønsker.
He hoped that Eurosceptics would not be able to take advantage of petty, negative squabbling and that people would not be put off Europe.
Diplomatiet løber simpelthen for hurtigt i forhold til befolkningerne , og vi bør lære noget mere af de irske EU-folkeafstemninger.
There was not enough understanding of what Europe was and therefore it must be conveyed to the people that support for the EU was in the interest of the Polish state.
Tyrkiet hører simpelthen ikke hjemme i EU.
The most controversial issue was nuclear safety.
Landet er ikke europæisk, og det har en helt anden kultur.
Of course it was important to open and close negotiation chapters, but even more important was the political will to build a common home together.
Tyrkisk EU-medlemskab ville være afslutningen på EU , mente Belder.
He hoped that the number of accession countries could be increased, lauding the great efforts made by Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey.
Milepæl i Europas historie Torben LUND fra Socialdemokratiet fastslog, at vi i dag har gennemlevet en afgørende milepæl i Europas historie , og at man den 1. maj 2004 vil have 25 lande i EU.
The countries in South Eastern Europe needed help to improve their market economy and democratic standards, so that they could join at a later stage as well.
Det har været krævende forhandlinger, og der mangler endnu administrativ og juridisk kapacitet i ansøgerlandene - både regionalt og lokalt.
For Mari-Ann KELAM (EPP-ED, Opposition, Estonia) accession offered the possibility of having a double identity - an Estonian and a European identity.
Torben Lund håbede, at EU's krav om miljø- og sundhedsbeskyttelse vil blive efterlevet i de nye lande.
She celebrated the fact that 20 years ago the European Parliament adopted a resolution saying that the Baltic countries should regain their independence.
Grundkravene er nu smidighed og solidaritet med ansøgerlandene og solidaritet mellem EU-landene.
Estonia was almost destroyed by the fascist and communist regimes, but now it could join a community of common European cultural and spiritual values.
Vi bør således sikre fair konkurrencevilkår for tiltrædelseslandene, så de kan øge deres velfærd, understregede Torben Lund.
As regards the Convention, she stressed that future Member States should be allowed to participate fully in the IGC.
Illusionernes verden Ole KRARUP fra Folkebevægelsen mod EU mente, at denne debat i dag viser, at Europa-Parlamentet og EU befinder sig i illusionernes verden .
According to Georges VARNAVAS (PES, Opposition, Cyprus), enlargement would underpin the common defence and security policy.
Ingen af de basale betingelser for udvidelsen er således opfyldt!
Cyprus had fulfilled all its obligations and he hoped for an operational solution to the Cyprus problem.
Og Vesteuropa vil mange år endnu fortsætte udbytningen af vore østeuropæiske naboer.
The UN plan had been accepted by the Greek side as a basis for negotiations.
Udvidelsen kræver en infrastruktur i ansøgerlandene, der langt fra er til stede , sluttede Ole Krarup.
The solution should comprise the "acquis communautaire", as well as the right for refugees to return home and a single sovereignty.
EU-Kommissionens program for 2003: Udvidelse - sikkerhed - bæredygtig økonomi
The style and content of the final weeks of negotiation would have a major impact on the referendum to be held in 2003.
Lovgivnings- og arbejdsprogrammet blev fremlagt skriftligt den 30. oktober.
He believed in the Europe that was kidnapped by Zeus and taken to the West and which could now be brought back to the East via Cyprus.
Programmet er det første, der skal udarbejdes efter en omfattende struktureret dialog med Europa-Parlamentet og Ministerrådet, og det markerer indledningen til en mere integreret og sammenhængende politisk planlægning i EU.
Genowefa GRABOWSKA (PES, Government, Poland) was disappointed that Poland, although it was working in the Convention together with the current Member States and other applicant countries to forge a new EU, would not be present at the moment when a new constitution was adopted.
Skelsættende år for EU!
This, he said, ran counter to all logic.
Kommissionen fastslår, at 2003 bliver et skelsættende år for EU .
The year 2003 should be a year of European education, increasing knowledge of countries free of stereotypes.
Den overordnede opgave bliver at definere det udvidede Europas opbygning - bl.a. på Konventet om Europas fremtid.
Androula VASSILIOU (ELDR, Government, Cyprus) saw Cyprus as a staging post for the Middle East and Africa.
EU bliver nødt til at konsolidere fremskridtene i retning af at skabe en bæredygtig og solidarisk vidensbaseret økonomi.
Solidarity now meant that the applicant countries must be treated fairly and that the EU should not just be a club of economic interests.
Bekymring for "Lissabon" I sin tale sagde Prodi, at han var bekymret for "Lissabon-processen" .
The financial conditions imposed on the applicant countries must be altered, both as regards the Cohesion Fund and agriculture.
Den største udfordring er at skabe et videnssamfund, men indsatsen og investeringerne er ikke store nok, hverken til forskning, menneskelige ressourcer m.m. Og EU står over for "USA's udfordring" og den teknologiske udvikling i Asien, hvor investeringerne er større.
Andrzej AUMILLER (PES, Government, Poland) wondered whether it was just the Poles who were afraid of the EU or whether the people in the EU were afraid of Poland as well.
Fleksibelt arbejdsmarked Under ordførerrunden sagde den franske PPE'er Francoise GROSSETÊTE , at den "strukturerede dialog" burde struktureres bedre, og at Kommissionens strategiske dokument var utilstrækkeligt.
This concluded the speeches by the representatives of the candidate countries.
Hun var dog glad for Kommissionens 3 hovedprioriteter for 2003, men hun så gerne et højere ambitionsniveau omkring terroristbekæmpelse.
Ilkka SUOMINEN (FIN) in the second round of group speakers for the EPP-ED group said that his group was determined that an enlarged EU would succeed, but stated that there was still work outstanding.
På det økonomiske område ønskede Grossetête et mere fleksibelt arbejdsmarked, og Kommissionen bør stå fast på stabilitetspagten.
The new Union, with 204 million new EU citizens, still remained in some ways an unknown entity and much depended on the results of the European Convention.
Hun fandt det endvidere vigtigt for det indre marked, at man harmoniserer s kattegrundlaget i de enkelte EU-lande, ligesom de samlede skatte- og administrationsbyrder bør reduceres.
Mr Suominen, from a young Member State himself, warned that the EU would not bring "paradise" to a country but rather it depended on the hard work and commitment of its people.
Barón var enig med Prodi i, at vi ikke lever op til målene i "Lissabon-processen" , og han ønskede i øvrigt mere dynamik fra Kommissionens side omkring mediekoncentration , som EP jo skal stemme om i dag.
The EU, he emphasised, stood for democracy, peace and shared national sovereignty and it was important to realise how many developments had been made in such a short space of time.
Han fandt, at meget af sproget i Kommissionens program var volapyk for almindelige mennesker - og selv for parlamentarikere i de nationale parlamenter.
The debate was an opportunity for dialogue, but he underlined the importance of the need to inform citizens and the forthcoming referenda campaigns.
I stedet bør vi have et solidarisk og åbent Europa, men Kommissionen foreslår EU som en fæstning.
There was a need to reform the CAP and remove any discrimination against the new countries.
Den belgiske grønne Monica FRASSONI mente, at dagsordenen for bæredygtig udvikling var det afgørende.
Nelly MAES (B) for the Greens/EFA group, said the EU was a community rather than a simple single market.
Dette var imidlertid et vagt begreb i Prodis tale - som mindede mere om retorik.
It was important for the EU, she said, to defend the diversity of cultures as well as respecting other peoples in the world.
Den italienske UEN'er Adriana POLI BORTONE stillede en lang række spørgsmål til Prodi bl.a. om legal kontra illegal indvandring samt integration af indvandrere i vore samfund.
Cristiana MUSCARDINI (I) for the UEN group commented that European Unity was a way to combat all forms of fundamentalism, and that Europe shared common historic values.
Franskmanden Georges BERTHU - løsgænger - erkendte, at Kommissionens præsentation var bedre end tidligere, men han mente, at man burde give de nye medlemslande større spillerum omkring gennemførelsen af EU-regelsættet, og have en mere "variabel geometri".
Jens-Peter BONDE (DK) for the EDD group, warned that candidate countries would be facing a different Europe once they join, as the European Convention would, by December 2003, fundamentally change the EU.
Prodi-Erdogan Romano Prodi skulle flyve tidligt til Bruxelles, hvor han havde et vigtigt møde i eftermiddag med den nye tyrkiske leder Erdogan .
He warned against the danger of rotating Commissioners, which would result in lack of representation from smaller states.
Christian ROVSING fra det Konservative Folkeparti, stillede et spørgsmål angående et centralt overblik over det Europæiske luftrum med inspiration i mandagens 'flykaos'.
He warned that the EU was not a brotherhood of nations but an "Empire under American protection" and warned the candidate countries of the danger of being "slaves" in an enlarged Europe.
Han spurgte om det ikke vil give en bedre udnyttelse af luftrummet og et bedre miljø.
He called for a defence of the nation state in the new Europe.
"Bruxelles' lovpyramide" Jens Peter BONDE fra JuniBevægelsen sagde, at man ved gennemgangen af Kommissionens program lige pludselig støder på en Europæisk hær, Rapid Reaction Force.
Replying to the debate, Mr Rasmussen for Council said he now felt confident about concluding the negotiations in Copenhagen.
Med denne bemærkning ville han gerne fastslå, at der ikke er grænser for EU's indblanding i nationalstaterne.
There was, he said, a common vision based on respect for freedom and cultural differences.
Derefter kom han med en lang række forslag til forenkling af gældende lovgivning.
Council and Commission, he added, were proposing a date for accession of 1 May 2004 for technical reasons and to allow a realistic deadline to complete the ratification process.
