9. maj 1950: Erklæring for fred Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (PSE, E) tilsluttede sig hyldesten af Altiero Spinelli og Jean Monnet og understregede, at 9. maj erklæringen fra 1950 ikke blot omhandlede handel, men i endnu højere grad fred.
Enlargement represents a future of peace and solidarity on a continental scale.
Barón Crespo tilkendegav støtte til forfatningsudkastet, men efterlyste endnu mere åbenhed i beslutningsprocesserne.
The EU of tomorrow should be based on transparency and effectiveness, but also based on the issues which affect the daily lives of its citizens.
EP: "En spiller på inderbanen" Andrew Nicholas DUFF (ELDR, UK) sagde, at EP er blevet "en spiller på inderbanen" og har bidraget til at besvare det ofte stillede spørgsmål med et rungende JA: Kan EU udvides og gå i dybden samtidig?
He said it was worth recalling the challenges the Convention had been set up to address: the growing gap between citizens and the EU institutions, the need to rethink the European project in the light of enlargement and to allow the EU to play a full role in the world.
Han opfordrede Rådet til at vise goodwill og afslutte regeringskonferencen hurtigt og med succes.
He called on Parliament's representatives at the IGC to help ensure that there were no backward steps in the final agreement, in particular with regard to the EP/Council balance on budgetary powers.
Duff opfordrede ligeledes EP's delegation til regeringskonferencen om at fortsætte deres rolle og sikre, at EP's beføjelser ikke begrænses.
It was crucial to ensure there was a real European public debate on the constitution as a whole, he said, if the constitution was to provide effective democratic answers to the challenges ahead.
Wurtz tilkendegav, at han ønsker at fortsætte sit arbejde for et socialt Europa, og efterlyste en ægte debat om forfatningstraktaten.
It was time, though, he said, to answer some important questions on which countries might join the EU in the future and which we would aim to have as good neighbours.
Monica FRASSONI (UEN, B) sagde, at der var stor forskel på Konventets og regeringskonferencens arbejde, idet Konventets arbejde foregik i åbenhed, hvorimod regeringskonferencen arbejder i det skjulte.
Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (E), leader of the PES group, paid his own tribute to the work of Jean Monnet and Altiero Spinelli, and recommended to Mr Roche that he keep a copy of the Spinelli draft treaty with him during the IGC negotiations.
Frassoni beklagede, at Dick Roche ikke var gået i detaljer og frygtede at chartret for borgernes grundlæggende rettigheder nu bliver rent virtuelt.
He spoke of the progress made in solidarity and through taking small steps forward, noting that the Schuman declaration began by speaking of peace, not just of coal and steel.
Hun understregede, at borgerne skal vide på hvilket grundlag man diskuterer på regeringskonferencen.
It was, he said, high time to support the Convention's draft constitution, even if some points were outstanding.
Staternes suverænitet: Udgangspunkt for EU-samarbejde Det slovakiske medlem af Nationernes Europa, Rudolf ZIAK sagde, at forfatningstraktaten ikke kan vedtages uden borgernes og staternes inddragelse og godkendelse.
His group favoured a democratic, secular Europe for everyone.
Han understregede, at staternes suverænitet skal være EU's udgangspunkt og at kulturelle principper skal respekteres.
They had always favoured more QMV in the Council, and still supported the idea of a Legislative Council, which would take decisions in public.
Han understregede, at folket er suverænen og har ret til at træffe egne beslutninger.
He said it was a privilege to serve in a Parliament which had made such progress towards the European constitutional settlement which Europe needs.
Abitbol problematiserede, at et eventuelt tyrkisk EU-medlemskab vil give EU en fælles grænse med Irak, og opfordrede regeringskonferencen til at vise borgerne hvad der skal behandles på juni-topmødet.
There was a clear answer to the question of whether Europe could widen and deepen at the same time: it could.
Georges BERTHU (NI, F) sagde, at EU stadig er alt for præget af institutioner og supranationale hierarkier og understregede, at EU's rolle er at sikre de nationale demokratier og disses reetablering.
He called for the European Council to show the necessary political will and bring the IGC to a quick and successful conclusion.
Romano Prodis sidste tale i EP før EP-valget:Beslutsomhed, mod og visioner!
Mr Duff said Parliament's role should not fade at the last minute, as there were some worrying signs that the IGC wished to remove Parliament's codecision on the structural funds.
Onsdag den 5. maj 2004 holdt formanden for EU-Kommissionen Romano PRODI sin sidste tale i Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg inden EP-valget den 10.-13. juni 2004.
If there was a crisis, the President should call a meeting of the Conference of Presidents - even if it was in the middle of an election campaign - to help strengthen his hand in defending Parliament's views.
Prodi gjorde status over de sidste 5 år og fastslog, at der havde været et godt og konstruktivt samarbejde mellem Kommissionen og Europa-Parlamentet, selvom man ikke altid havde været enige.
The leader of the EUL/NGL group, Francis WURTZ (F), recalled the presentation of the draft treaty by Valery Giscard d'Estaing in Parliament on 3 September last year: his group had said then that we need Europe to be able to transform the world, but refused to go along with the constitutionalisation of the liberal model.
Men debatten mellem Kommissionen og EP havde altid været åben, ærlig og konstruktiv.
He repeated his call for referendums across the EU on the constitution.
Nu går Kommissionen ind i en overgangsfase med de 10 nye kommissærer fra de 10 nye medlemslande.
He said the turnout at the European elections risked to be a real punishment for these failings.
De nye kommissærer vil stemme med samme vægt som de hidtidige kommissærer, fastslog Prodi.
For the Greens/EFA group, Monica FRASSONI (B) told Mr Roche that the real difference between the Convention and the IGC was that the first worked in public while the second was taking place in secret, which was, she said, having a clear negative impact.
Selvom der kommer en ny Kommission den 1. november 2004, så har denne Kommission stadig store opgaver:
The Presidency's apparent optimism was hiding changes which risked the whole process being in vain: there was a return to unanimity on justice and home affairs matters, an interpretative clause on the Charter of Fundamental Rights, leaving it a 'virtual' document, and a removal of Parliament's powers over the structural funds.

Yesterday's dreams of a new Europe were already lost, she said.
sikre at udvidelsen bliver en succes .
She also asked that it be made clear that a Member State voting ' no ' in a referendum would be putting itself outside Europe.
Nu skal vi koncentrere os om udvidelsesforhandlingerne med Bulgarien og Rumænien , og Kommissionen har netop anbefalet, at man indleder udvidelsesforhandlinger med Kroatien .
For the UEN group, Rudolf ŽIAK (SK) said reform of Europe's institutions was vital, but that citizens must be involved in the process.
Til efteråret vil Kommissionen komme med en rapport om EU bør indlede udvidelsesforhandlinger med Tyrkiet, hvilket det Europæiske Råd skal tage stilling til i december 2004,
We must listen to the voices of all, he said, building an approach to Europe which retained sovereignty for cultural traditions.
nye finansielle perspektiver 2007-2013, hvor man skal give EU de nødvendige finansielle ressourcer til at indfri de 3 hovedmål: 1) bæredygtig udvikling, 2) EU-borgerskabet og 3) Europas rolle i verden.
He said the current draft constitution did not create a superstate, but that it was vital that each Member State be treated equally in the future, with each having a Commissioner.
euroen , den fælles mønt,
This, he said, showed the contempt in which the EU held the will of its peoples.

Surely two years after the Convention started work, it was possible to come to an agreement.

He called on the Irish presidency to hold the summit before the June elections rather than after.
der tegner sig en europæisk offentlighed , hvilket man så i forbindelse med konflikten i Irak.
Georges BERTHU (IND, F) spoke of the joy of receiving the new Member States from Eastern Europe after their liberation from the Communist yoke.
Det EU har behov for nu er beslutsomhed, mod og visioner, sluttede Romano Prodi.
It was time for the EU to breathe new life into national democracies, with full pluralism and respect for the states.
Under den såkaldte "catch the eye" debat, der er en åben debat, der foregår efter princippet om at alle kan tale, under forudsætning af at de opnår øjenkontakt med formanden, blev der stillet forskellige spørgsmål til Kommissionen.
Timothy KIRKHOPE (EPP-ED, Yorkshire and the Humber) said 1 May marked one of the greatest achievements of the postwar era, as countries which had suffered under the Soviet Union or socialist dictatorship were finally welcomed to the EU.
Herunder ønskede flere MEP'er at vide, hvor grænserne for EU går, og hvilke lande der kan optages i EU.
This was the triumph of liberal democracy, he said, and the British Conservatives wholeheartedly welcomed the new members.
Hertil svarede Kommissionens formand, italieneren Romani PRODI , at det ikke er muligt at se ind i fremtiden, men han understregede at man i første omgang må afslutte tiltrædelsesforhandlingerne med Bulgarien og Rumænien, derefter Kroatien og endelig tage stilling til om EU vil indlede optagelsesforhandlinger med Tyrkiet.
It was also the 25th anniversary of the first election of Margaret Thatcher in the UK, and he paid tribute to her role in confronting communism, which he said was perhaps greater than any other leader's.
Maes efterlyste endvidere en reel ligestillingspolitik, da hun mente at hele EU-systemets top stadig er alt for mandsdomineret.
He also asked if the new Member States knew what they were letting themselves in for, with a wholly new constitutional order now on the point of being adopted.
Prodi svarede, at det er første gang i EU-institutionernes historie at Kommissionen gennemfører en gennemgribende reformproces, hvilket skal underbygge "nultolerance politikken" over for svindel.
He said the idea of pooled sovereignty seemed similar to the Brezhnev doctrine of limited sovereignty, something the new members had been keen to escape.
EP godkender den "nye" Kommission:12 nye EU-kommissærer
Proinsias DE ROSSA (PES, Dublin) said it was important that there be no backsliding on the details of the constitution.
Forslag til afgørelse
He argued against a reference to God in the treaty.
Procedure: Den ikke-lovgivningsmæssige procedure
Jason AZZOPARDI (EPP-ED, MT) was the first Maltese MEP to speak to Parliament.
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog onsdag den 5. maj 2004 en beslutning, hvori man godkender EU-Kommissionen i dens nye sammensætning for den resterende del af mandatet frem til den 31. oktober 2004.
He also called for a reference to Christianity in the text: the Christian heritage was the basis of great works of art of Europe's past and the labours of love and faith visible in its cathedrals, including Strasbourg's cathedral.
Beslutningen om at godkende Kommissionen blev vedtaget med 531 stemmer mod 18 - medens 39 undlod at stemme.
MEPs voted by 531 votes in favour to 18 against with 39 abstentions to approve the new line-up of the European Commission, including the ten new Commissioners from the new Member States and new Commissioners from France and Spain.
Med denne beslutning godkender Europa-Parlamentet de 10 nye kommissærer fra de 10 nye medlemslande:
The ten commissioners from the new Member States are:
Ud over de 10 nye kommissærer fra de 10 nye medlemslande har franskmanden Jacques Barrot erstattet Michel Barnier - der er blevet nye fransk udenrigsminister - ligesom spanieren Joaquin Almunia har erstattet Pedro Solbes.
Similarly, the new French Commissioner, Jacques BARROT , takes on the Regional Affairs portfolio, replacing Michel BARNIER , who is now French Foreign Minister.
De 8 nye medlemmer er:
Parliament followed the recommendations of the Budgetary Control Committee and voted to approve the appointment of 8 of the nominees, while giving a negative opinion regarding Julius MOLNÁR .
Irena PETRUSKEVICIENE , Litauen,
The lesson is, and I hope this will be understood by the electorate in June, that Parliament does make a difference."
Jacek UCKIEWICZ , Polen
Parliament as legislator
Vojko ANTONCIC , Slovenien.
Parliament, he said, had been flexible and skilful in its use of the legislative instrument.
Inden afstemningen oplyste ordføreren Diemut Theato, at budgetkontroludvalget havde godkendt disse 8 kandidater, medens 2 andre kandidater ikke havde fået flertal i budgetkontroludvalget.
One hundred and fifteen procedures (28 % of the total) were adopted in first reading, while half of the total were agreed and concluded at second reading, in 'pre-conciliation' processes, leaving only one fifth for conciliation proper.
Det drejer sig om kandidaten fra Cypern Constantinos KARMIOS - som derefter havde trukket sig - og kandidaten fra Slovakiet Julius MOLNAR .
He continued: "In plainer language, we did not push parliamentary prerogative to its limits, but used it with strategy and strong political sense.
EP stemte om Julius Molnars kandidatur, og med 429 stemmer mod 74 - medens 54 undlod at stemme - besluttede EP at forkaste hans kandidatur.
Throughout the mandate, we in the Parliament, perhaps alone of all the European legislative institutions, delivered 100% and proved our readiness to deliver on our legislative responsibility and to work quickly."

Konstitutionelle anliggender
Presidential activity
Jean Monnet og Altiero Spinelli:"Schuman-planen" og "Spinelli-planen"
Pat Cox spoke of the headline goals he had set for himself on 6 February 2002: Parliament's contribution to Enlargement; enhancing communication with European citizens and the promotion of internal reform, particularly the Statute for members.
Tirsdag den 4. maj 2004 holdt Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg en særlig mindehøjtidelighed for Jean Monnet - der stod bag "Schuman-planen" fra 9. maj 1950 - og Altiero Spinelli, der var initiativtageren til "Spinelli-planen" fra 14. februar 1984, som var Europa-Parlamentets første udkast til en traktat om den europæiske union.
He recalled his busy agenda, including 90 meetings of the Conference of Presidents, covering 669 agenda items; 54 meetings of the Bureau, treating 934 agenda items; 450 other meetings in the European Parliament; 334 meetings with visiting personalities and politicians of note and 16 visits of Heads of State.
De havde visioner, politisk vilje og viste lederskab , og de så det europæiske projekt som et velfærdens projekt rodfæstet i humanistiske værdier.
At the same time the prospect of membership induced an extraordinary transformation in the acceding states."
Jean Monnet sagde, at "det er ikke stater vi forener, men folk vi forener" .
"In Parliament," he said, "we emphasised the parliamentary dimension of the process.
Pat Cox understregede, at det er 2 visionære ledere vi hylder i dag, og vi kan drage en klar lære fra dem: - At tænke langsigtet og at tænke i store linier!
We held a gathering of parliamentarians in this chamber in November 2002, marking a special staging-post on our shared pathway.
Det drejer sig om lande, som har været bitre fjender i århundreder, men som nu samarbejder.
Pat Cox expressed the hope that reconciliation can be found on the island of Cyprus, and that the last divided capital in Europe can be reunited.
Monnet arbejdede for, at gøre krige i Europa umulige, og EU er den mest succesfulde fredsproces i Europas historie .
Enlargement, he said, had brought with it a recognition of the need for a new rulebook for the Union, and the convening of a Convention on the Future of Europe to prepare it.
De var begge handlingens mænd med kreativitet og en kritisk holdning , og EU er på trods af fejl og mangler et heroisk projekt.
Having intensified its communications with the other European Institutions and with the national parliaments, the European Parliament had demonstrated itself to be a determined and reliable partner.
Pragmatisme og idealisme!
We must bring vision and give leadership.
Den spanske EU-kommissær Loyola DE PALACIO pegede på, at Jean Monnet ville opbygge Europa via gradvise, konkrete resultater, en "de gradvise skridts politik".
We are the indispensable link in the unbroken chain of democratic accountability between our constituents, our regions, our countries and the European ideal."
Monnet stod for metoden bag den gradvise opbygning af det nye Europa.
It marked a departure from the European way of doing business.
Spinellis visioner og "Spinelli-planen" fra februar 1984 førte senere til Maastricht- og Amsterdam-traktaten og nu forfatningstraktaten, som ikke havde været mulige uden "Spinelli-planen".
He said the mandate had been marked by standing up for decency, for European values, pride in the due process of the International Criminal Court compared to its absence in Guantanamo Bay, and a reaffirmation of multilateralism: "The visit of the United Nations Secretary General, Kofi Annan, on 29 January of this year, to accept the Sakharov Prize on behalf of the UN and the colleagues who died in Baghdad, marked a high-water point.
De Palacio fastslog, at Monnet og Spinelli byggede på pragmatisme og idealisme, og at dette har ført til fredens og velfærdens Europa.
It signalled, in a powerful and emotional message, our Parliament's commitment to the multilateral way of doing politics. "
Profeter og opbyggere Den italienske socialist Giorgio NAPOLITANO har været formand for EP's forfatningsudvalg i de sidste 5 år, og han pegede på, at genopbygningen af Europa efter 2. verdenskrig er foregået i etaper.
"In strategic terms, we achieved the culmination of many years or work, deciding on a Euro-Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly in Naples on 2 December 2003, and constituting it in Athens on 22/23 March.
Monnet og Spinelli var de store profeter og opbyggere, som tilstræbte at overvinde nationalisme og fjendskab mellem de europæiske stater.
From the outset, we have sought to make this Assembly an effective instrument of democratic dialogue, where pluralism is visible and real."
Napolitano mente, at forfatningstraktaten bør træde i kraft, når den er vedtaget af et flertal af medlemslandene..
An arrangement whereby Members of the same parliament have 25 different legal and financial regimes is neither desirable nor tenable in the long term.
Ellers er der risiko for, at det netop udvidede EU løber ind i en krise.
Although our efforts did not come to fruition this time, it is my hope that the Statute can finally be adopted early in the next legislature.
Der er behov for handling - uden retorik , sluttede Napolitano.
The Parliament, as you know and as you have voted, needs reform."
Nationalistiske mure Under den politiske ordførerrunde sagde den spanske PPE'er Inigo MENDEZ DE VIGO , at "Spinelli-planen" fra februar 1984 faktisk er meget moderne, og at den var baggrunden for den forfatningstraktat, vi står med i dag.
"At the outset of my Presidency I sought a global reform based on two main elements: firstly, fair treatment of Members of this House on the basis of equality, and secondly, transparency on allowances to be based on costs incurred.
Både Jean Monnet og Altiero Spinelli ville forene personer/mennesker .
Council's failure has not prevented the Bureau and other bodies of this House from examining further reforms on an incremental basis.
Da Mendez de Vigo var ung, havde Europa været fuld af nationalistiske mure.
Pat Cox said that we had an experience, more or less, of fifty years of European policy making.
Men nu er der kun få nationalistiske mure tilbage, og de vil forsvinde.
In that time, policy in very many aspects of day-to-day life in our Members States has been Europeanised.
De nye lande har gavn af EU - de får en friheds- og en velfærdshorisont, og det er et smukt historisk tidspunkt vi gennemlever, fastslog Mendez de Vigo.
European public policy and regulation is deeply embedded in the national and political decision-making environment.
Ventotene-manifestet Det britiske labourmedlem Richard CORBETT erindrede om, at han for 20 år siden som ung, begejstret europæer i EP's udvalgssekretariat havde arbejdet sammen med Spinelli, hvilket havde været et stort privilegium.
For all of that, although we have Europeanised policy, we are still searching for a way to 'Europeanise' politics.
Spinelli havde i 17 år været politisk fange under Mussolini, og han havde i 1941 skrevet Ventotene-manifestet (Red.: som var et anti-fascistisk manifest med visioner for Europas fremtid) .
He said he had therefore tried, particularly in this last year, to deliver the message that there is such a richness of European issues and that these should be exploited, from the different political platforms, for the European elections: "Let these next elections be truly European."
Spinelli gik ind for "konsensus-metoden", og den nuværende forfatningstraktat er kronen på Spinellis værk, sluttede Corbett.
I have always sought to serve this House without fear or favour, without malice or prejudice, to serve in the interest of the whole House and not any of its component parts.
Medlemsstaternes studehandler Den tyske PDS'er Sylvia-Yvonne KAUFMANN understregede, at Spinelli var anti-fascist, og at han er ledesnoren for vort arbejde, medens den østrigske grønne Johannes VOGGENHUBER pegede på, at Europa kan lide skibbrud, og at det europæiske perspektiv udvandes under medlemsstaternes studehandler .
I very much believe that I have worked according to the principle set out by Edmund Burke to his constituents in 1774: 'Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgement; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices [his judgement] to your opinion'.
Folkeafstemninger om forfatningstraktaten!
Personal future plans
Jens-Peter BONDE fra JuniBevægelsen havde læst Jean Monnets erindringer, og ingen steder kunne man læse, at Jean Monnet gik ind for et udemokratisk supercentraliseret EU.
Finally, on a personal note, he said, "serving as a Member of the European Parliament for fifteen years, as a Vice-President and President of the ELDR for more than seven years, as President of the House since January 2002, has been the great experience of my working life.
Bonde mindede om, at han selv havde siddet ved siden af Spinelli i 10 år.
With what I can assure you were very mixed emotions, I have informed my supporters in my Munster constituency, this morning, that I do not intend to stand in the forthcoming election.
Spinelli og grundlæggeren af Agence Europe Emmanuel Gazzo var af den opfattelse, at f øderalisme ikke er centralisme.
I want to thank the people of Munster for their consistent support over the years and I thank my own supporters and my family."
De havde en smuk drøm om Europa, men den bliver et mareridt, hvis borgerne ikke står bag.
He concluded: "Although no business in politics is ever finished, I have made a contribution and I know others are there to take up the challenge.
