It was, he stated, a great honour for Italy to take over the Presidency at this moment since Europe was now in the process of modernising and growing economically.
EP mener, at "konventmodellen" har vist sig at være en effektiv metode til at øge demokratiet og gennemsigtigheden.
The Prime Minister paid tribute to Europe's abilities to overcome crises, its contribution to international law and to its technical expertise.
Beslutningen blev vedtaget med 327 stemmer mod 92 - medens 47 undlod at stemme.
Above all, he said, Europe is about the art of negotiation and mediation.
Udvide flertalsafstemninger EP påpeger, at Konventet må nå til enighed om del III og IV.
However, he warned that negotiation sometimes led to bureaucratic stasis or stagnation.
Der bør foretages en revision af del III for at realisere en lang række proceduremæssige og politiske reformer i overensstemmelse med del I, særlig med henblik på at udvide antallet af afstemninger med kvalificeret flertal og EP's deltagelse via den fælles beslutningsprocedure/medbestemmelse.
On the European Convention, the Prime Minister welcomed what he called a " splendid " draft text and he also paid tribute to those participating in the Convention.
EP understreger, at det er vigtigt at overføre Konventets mere åbne, pluralistiske og konsensussøgende ånd til regeringskonferencen.
As he put it, " it would enable Europe to avoid the Hamlet syndrome, Europe must have no doubts about its autonomy ."
Formandskabet bør holde Konventets medlemmer informeret, og der bør aflægges rapport - både under EP's månedlige samlinger og til EP's forfatningsudvalg - om udviklingen i regeringskonferencens arbejde.
The Prime Minister also welcomed Javier SOLANA 's document on the future of European security and said that it set out a basis of how Europe can avoid the differences of the past as illustrated by the war in Iraq.

Re-launching and strengthening the Trans-Atlantic dialogue, would also be a priority of the Italian Presidency, he remarked.
Simitis omtalte Cypern, og de problemer der stadig består mellem den græske og den tyrkiske del af øen.
Rebuilding Iraq, and the " road map " to peace in the Middle East, through co-operation would be the perfect opportunities to bring the two continents once more closer together.

In his address, Commission President, Romano PRODI looked forward to continued progress under the Italian Presidency, especially with regards to completing the timetable for constitutional reforms, although he repeated his dissatisfaction with certain chapters in the Convention such as what, he felt, was a limited extension of qualified majority voting and he emphasised his determination to try to seek further changes here.
Derudover er en ny beskæftigelsesstrategi blevet vedtaget.
Otherwise he agreed on the importance of strengthening the EU's ties with new neighbouring countries, in particular the Balkans and the Mediterranean where, he felt, setting up a new " Euromed bank " could play a significant role in aiding economic development.

Konventets arbejde Simitis konstaterede, at der var bred enighed om Konventets udkast til en ny forfatningstraktat på topmødet i Thessaloniki.
Turning to the economy, while he recognised the difficulties caused by poor rates of growth in the European economy at the moment, he felt there was a need for closer co-operation with regard to economic and tax policy.
Han understregede, at udkastet er et godt grundlag for den kommende regeringskonference, da vigtige spørgsmål og rammer er afklaret inden regeringskonferencen.
The Commission had played its part by introducing an element of flexibility into the Stability and Growth Pact, he said, before expressing concern at low rates of investment in R & D across the EU.

With a view to counteracting this, he said the Commission would be launching a new initiative with the specific view of involving the private sector.
Der har været visse problemer med at gennemføre beslutningerne fra Tampere, da finansieringen på området ikke har været tilstrækkelig.
After expressing his support for the new Italian initiative on infrastructure projects, he expressed optimism that the Italian Presidency would be able to help economic recovery by reaching agreement on issues outstanding from the Greek Presidency such as further liberalisation of rail, the gas and electricity markets, public contracts and take-overs.
Derfor er det blevet foreslået at afsætte 140 millioner Euro til finansiering af indvandringsprogrammer i perioden 2004-2006.
In addition, he drew attention to the need to reach agreement in other areas such as the temporary workers and take-over directives as well as asylum procedures.
Simitis understregede, at problemerne med illegal indvandring og sikring af den ydre grænsekontrol er et område, der kun kan løses i fællesskab .
For the long-term, the Commission would be looking to putting together a new financial perspective to take account of the EU's needs post 2006.

For the EPP/ED, Hans-Gert POETTERING (D) expressed the hope that the welcome given to Mr Berlusconi at the beginning of the Presidency would be repeated in December.

His group would be judging the Italian Presidency by its results, he said, hoping that the Presidency would not be distracted by internal political divisions in the country.
Simitis understregede den store udfordring det har været, at overvinde uenighederne, medlemstaterne imellem.
He emphasised the importance of reaching agreement on a new constitution and underlined Italy's historic role in developing European integration, dating back to the Treaty of Rome in 1957.

USA og Rusland Simitis fremhævede, at USA er en vigtig samarbejdspartner for EU på trods af de uenigheder der har været på det sidste.
He welcomed what he saw was a change in priorities emphasising a more European approach and reminded the House of the European Parliament's obligation to make laws that were beneficial for all of Europe's citizens.
Også forholdet til Rusland er blevet forbedret efter topmødet i Skt. Petersborg.
On the Convention, he felt there was still a need for " fine tuning " and he underlined the importance of the European Parliament being represented on the IGC.
Fælles forsvars- og sikkerhedspolitik Det er vigtigt at udvide EU's kapacitet på området for fortsat at kunne løse problemer af forsvars- og sikkerhedspolitisk art.
Another issue of concern was media concentration and he pointed out that the Commission should be offering guarantees to ensure pluralism here.
Udover de ovennævnte prioriteter for det græske formandskab, kom Simitis ind på den fælles landbrugspolitik, og fremhævede at den nye aftale sikrer bedre miljø, folkesundhed, fødevaresikkerhed og dyresundhed.
For the Liberals, Graham WATSON (South West), after pointing out that the programme of the Italian Presidency was only available in English and Italian, looked forward to progress in negotiations on the Convention with proper representation from both the European and national parliaments, although he was concerned about the possibility of national governments continuing to argue about points of difference, especially at a time when the European economy was not in good shape.
Endvidere står EU nu med et godt udgangspunkt forud for de kommende WTO-forhandlinger.
Furthermore, it was also necessary to ensure that spending would be compatible with the Stability and Growth Pact.

Finally, Mrs Muscardini drew attention to the issues of the right of life, the dangers of the Internet and the need for increased spending on research and development.
Reform af Kommissionen En væsentlig del af reformen af Kommissionen har været, at revidere vedtægten for EU-ansatte.
He stated that the European Court of Justice often increased the weight of certain articles of the Treaties, and he cited the European citizenship articles in the Treaty of Maastricht as an example.
Formålet med revisionen har været, at sikre tjenestemandsfunktionens kontinuitet, uafhængighed og kvalitet.
He also wanted to know if the protocol on Danish summerhouses as well as the Danish constitution would still be valid since, he felt, that articles in the draft constitution were in contradiction with these binding texts.

De europæiske partiers status Prodi udtrykte tilfredshed med, at det er lykkedes at skabe en klar og gennemsigtig ramme for de europæiske politiske partiers arbejde.
On the IGC, he recalled the Laeken Summit conclusions, which stated that the Convention should bring Europe closer to its citizens, Mr Evans doubted if this was the case.

"Olympisk niveau" Formanden for den liberale gruppe skotten Graham WATSON understregede, at der havde været meget mere positivt end negativt under det græske formandskab.
In his response to the debate, Prime Minister Berlusconi thanked in particular the EPP-ED group for their support for the work of the Italian Presidency and stated that in general the debate had been carried out in a well mannered way.
Han beklagede dog, at det ikke var lykkedes at nå frem til et fælles Cypern i EU.
He did however stress that the ambitious programme for investment in European transport infrastructure arose from a Keynesian approach to increased economic demand.
