Den fik os pludselig til at indse farerne ved en opsplitning af vore forsvar, og en kort overgang kunne man tydeligt se det vest lige sammenhold — hvor kaotiske visse af de dengang trufne økonomiske foranstaltninger end viste sig at være.
I am sure that you will agree on the possibility of Soviet intervention if the military coup should be a failure.
Og nu har vi så Polen.
In this case the epilogue will be the same as in Czechoslovakia.
Jeg vil imidlertid ikke foregribe forhandlingen i aften ved at sige, at det rent faktisk var nødvendigt, at det, der foregår derovre i dag, skete, for at vi overhovedet kunne påvirkes til at mobilisere vore samlede bestræbelser.
What can we do? We must make clear to the govern ments that none of the Community countries can provide financial credits to Poland as long as trade unionists and workers are imprisoned because of their political views and until civil liberties are reestablished.
Hvad var det man forventede, og hvad er det, der er opnået, hr. formand?
I should like to make one observation in this connection.
Ligeledes har vi kunnet støtte de fattige Lomé-lande. Takket være den fælles landbrugspolitik har vi kunne nyde disse privilegier.
There is no point in saying that expenditure will have to be reduced.
På andre områder af den fælles landbrugspolitik stræbes der
How, in view of this, do people intend
Fergusson mindst på det sikkerhedspolitiske område.
Tolman to reduce expenditure? I don't believe it will be feasible.
Men jeg antager, at dette igen med tiden vil mislykkes, hvis ikke det følges op af institutionelt samarbejde.
But this, I suggest, will fail again in time unless institutional cooperation follows.
Uden dette risikerer Fællesskabet at falde fra hinanden igen, medlemsstaterne risikerer skilsmisse, efterhånden som deres fælles frygt forsvinder.
Without that the Community could fall apart again, the Member States divorce themselves front one another as their common fears disperse.
Vi vil, som det var tilfældet tidligere, få for lidt at tale sammen om.
We shall, as it were, have too little left to talk about.
som om få dage overtager formandsposten, forkynder et korstog til isolering af Grækenland?
We agree that we are in a period of restructuring, but in what direction? Towards the complete abolition of the principle of unanimity?
Når Rådet har forkastet enhver idé om substantiel støtte til land brugsprodukterne fra middelhavslandene, og når man går ind for anvendelsen af medansvarsprincippet?
Towards the imposition of new compulsory common policies? We have even heard a lot of talk in this House, from representatives of the Council, of an 'understanding' of Greek problems.
Når der for få dage siden i Rådet blev afvist en substantiel forbedring af bomuldsdyrkningens infrastrukturer?
When, only a few days ago, the Council turned down a substantial improvement in cotton-growing infrastructure?
Når man for få dage siden i Rådet søgte at rette et alvorligt slag mod de græske luftforbindelser, medens de græske synspunkter kun blev støttet af den franske minister hr. Fitterman?
When, again only a few days ago, the Council inflicted a severe wound on Greek air communications, with the Greek position being supported only by the French minister, Mr Fiterman?
Når Grækenland er blevet trukket med i London-communiquéet for at komme på linie med USAs uantagelige synspunkter vedrørende oprustning?
When Greece is being dragged by the London communiqué into supporting the unacceptable attitude of the United States towards armaments? ments?
Sammen kan vi forebygge, at vi skulle blive udsat for det værste, og komme det i forkøbet, i stedet for blot at afvente det værste, før vi finder sammen.
Together we can anticipate and prevent the worst that could happen to us, not merely await the worst in order to find unity.
Så er det op til ministrene i Rådet at indse, at de er nødt til at arbejde i nær forståelse med det demokratiske grundlag, der giver Rådet dets fælles styrke, de facto om ikke dejure, og dette grundlag findes her.
Let, then, the Council Ministers realize that they need close understanding with the democratic base that gives it its joint strength, defacto it not dejure, and that base is here.
(Bifald fra den europæiske demokratiske gruppe)
(Applause from the European Group)
Alavanos. — (GR) Hr. formand, for så vidt angår redegørelsen om det britiske formandskabs seksmånedersperiode, har vi repræsentanter for Grækenlands kommunistiske parti intet nyt at tilføje.
EEC might now give us — but which cannot compensate for the enormous obligations imposed on our country — or for our involvement in a game with omnipotent players and marked cards.
Berkhouwer. — (NL) Hr. formand, Det europæiske Råd, som vi taler om i forbindelse med hr. Antoniozzis betænkning, er opstået uden om Traktaterne, og vi må derfor, uden om Traktaterne, ad sædvaneretlig vej, se at komme til en dialog mellem dette Råd og Parlamentet.
Mr Berkhouwer. — (NL) Mr President, the European Council, which we are discussing on the basis of the report by Mr Antoniozzi, came into being outside the Treaties and since its existence is now an established fact we too will have to try and establish a dialogue between it and ourselves by setting up a convention for which the Treaty makes no provision.
Det er det første punkt.
That was my first point.
Men der er noget, vi undrer os over: tager regeringerne og de styrende samfundsklasser i Vesteuropas store lande ikke i betragtning, hvilke dramatiske følger en acceleration og en uddybning af den økonomiske og politiske integration kan have, når vi allerede nu har en sådan redegørelse?
Thus, it is a little inaccurate to talk of 'Heads of State' in the plural, and this title obviously also causes problems in connection with the representation of the European Council vis-à-vis the European Parliament, since I do not think there is much chance of the President of the French Republic turning up here.
Med mindre der bag disse smukke ord om »en fælles europæisk skæbne« skjuler sig koldt beregnede planer om at lade det kapitalistiske Europas arbejderklasse og øvrige arbejdstagere blive sonofre i forbindelse med en fortvivlet bestræbelse på, at få visse af Vesteuropas monopoler til at overleve midt i interne imperialistiske antagonismer, midt i en økonomisk og politisk konkurrence — og ikke et samarbejde — med socialismens lande.
Thus we can speak of 'presidium' since it is for that presidium to decide who is to represent it. In this way we must arrive, by establishing conventions, to a system of 'government by consent of the citizens' since, after all, this is what we want and the only possibility of establishing such a European government by consent of the citizens, Mr President, will be by establishing this convention of dialogue, i.e. a thoroughgoing general debate once each year between the European Council and the democratic representation of the people of Europe in the form of the European Parliament.
Det andet punkt, hr. formand, er, at topmøderne i perioden mellem 1961 og 1974 blev afholdt for at løse op for hårdknuder og at komme udenom flaskehalse, og at disse møder ikke fandt sted regelmæssigt.
My second point, Mr President, is that between 1961 and 1974 summit conferences were held to deal with various knotty problems and that these conferences were not held on a regular basis.
Nu har vi den faste rytme: tre gange årligt mødes Det europæiske Råd; det er blevet til en slags must, og så er det selvfølgelig meget svært altid at opnå resultater.
The European Council does, however, meet on a regular basis, i.e. three times a year. It has become something of a ritual, which obviously makes it very difficult to achieve results every time.
De tidligere topmøder blev afholdt netop for at nå bestemte resultater, og resultaterne opnåedes oftere end ved de nuværende rådsmøders regelmæssighed.
The summits of former times were held with a particular result in view and more results were in fact achieved than in the case of the European Council with its regular meetings.
Jeg mener ikke, Det europæiske Råd bør beskæftige sig med tekniske detaljer, som det er sket fornylig, men at det bør bekymre sig om de store politiske retningslinjer, som Fællesskabet må følge på et givet tidspunkt.
Nor do I think that the European Council should deal with technical details as has been the case recently, but rather that it should concern itself exclusively with the broad political approaches the European Community should adopt at any given time.
Det europæiske Råd burde være retningsvisende for Fællesskabets tre andre institutioner.
The European Council should indicate the general lines along which the other three institutions should work.
Vi frygter, at dette desværre er sandheden.
Article 2 of the Treaty states:
Og det er derfor, vi er nødt til at understrege Grækenlands problem, på et tidspunkt hvor de græske spørgsmål er blevet rejst af hr. Papandreou på ministerrådsmødet i London på en anden måde, end de blev rejst af den tidligere regering.
'The Community shall have as its task, by establishing a common market and progressively approximating the economic policies of Member States to promote throughout the Community a harmonious development of economic activities, a continuous and balanced expansion, an increase in stability, an accelerated raising of the standard of living and closer relations between the States belonging to it.'
For det tredje, hr. formand, mener jeg at der kun er ét forum, som Det europæiske Råd bør aflægge regnskab over for med hensyn til den retningsvisende politik, og det er de europæiske folkevalgte repræsentanter, det er Det europæiske Parlament.
Thirdly, Mr President, I take the view that if the European Council is to be answerable to anyone as regards this general orientation policy it should be the European Parliament, which is the democratic representation of the people of Europe.
Det ville måske være bedre, igen sædvaneretligt, at holde møder to gange pr. år, i stedet for tre gange.
Perhaps it would also be better to introduce a different convention whereby the Council would meet not three times per year but only twice.
Så har det land, der har formandskabet, ét møde at afholde i sin hovedstad, og vi kan undgå at spekulere på, hvor det tredje møde, midsommermødet, skal afholdes.
In this case, each country holding the Presidency would have a meeting in its capital, which would get us round the question of where the third meeting — i.e. the midsummer meeting — should be held.
Så har vi ligeledes en fast rytme: ét møde om foråret i det første land, der i det år har formandskabet, og ét efteråret, i det andet land, der har formandskabet. Det ville måske være en forbedring, det ville være lidt mindre af et must.
This arrangement would give us regular meetings too. One in spring in the first country holding the Presidency in that particular year and one in autumn in the other.
Mod en fuldstændig afskaffelse af enstemmighedsprincippet?
I have deliberately chosen the word 'presidium' since the European Council is made up of Heads of State and Heads of Government.
Mod en formindskelse af landbrugsudgifterne? Mod påtvingeise af nye bindende europæiske politikker?
At a time when the Community looked to the Heads of State and Government to show leadership, particu larly in an all-out assault on the unemployment crisis, they have failed to come to terms with this predicament at all.
Vi har ligeledes hørt meget om »en forståelse« af de græske problemer — vi har også hørt det i denne sal fra Rådets repræsentanter.
The actuality of 10 million unemployed roaming the streets of Europe is not fiction; it is fact.
Men hvilken »forståelse« drejer det sig om, når den belgiske premierminister,
The consequence could be civil disorder of a kind that
Berkhouwer arbejdsløshedsproblemet, lykkedes det dem ikke over hovedet at gøre noget ved denne vanskelige situation.
Hanagan know exactly in what terms the Soviets were instructing the Polish leaders to stifle the workers' movement.
Konsekvensen kan gå hen og blive uroligheder af en art, der får optøjerne i Toxteth — i Liverpool — til at ligne en julefest ved siden af.
would make Toxteth look like a Christmas party.
Kurven over den menneskelige nød er stigende, og erklæringerne, der blev udsendt efter topmøderne i Luxembourg og Maastricht om arbejdsløshedskrisen, blev talt for døve øren.
The graph of human misery is growing, and communiqués issued after the Luxembourg and Maastricht Summits on the unemployment crisis have fallen on deaf ears.
I Luxembourg erklærede Rådet, at der først og fremmest skulle tages fat om problemet massearbejdsløshed, og at det ikke burde gøres i en fatalistisk ånd.
In Luxembourg the Council stated that the problem of mass unemployment should be accorded priority and should not be approached in a spirit of fatalism.
Problemet er, at der overhovedet ikke er blevet taget fat om problemet.
The problem is that it has not been approached at all.
Den irske befolkningstilvækst er syv gange så stor som gennemsnittet i Fællesskabet, og når over 10 % af vor befolkning er arbejdsløs, er vi dybt bekymrede for fremtiden.
I believe that the situation in Afghanistan is one of the most tragic elements in a situation which is beyond us and in what may be a series of deals between the United States and the Soviet Union of which we cannot comprehend the full significance.
Jeg beklager, hr. formand, men måske kunne julehumøret bevirke, at jeg fik tildelt et par minutter ekstra.
The Irish population is growing at seven times the Community average, and with more than 10% of our population unemployed we are deeply concerned for our future.
På denne måde kan vi, ad sædvaneretlig vej, komme til en government by consent of the citizens.
I am sorry, Mr President, perhaps the spirit of Christmas would allow me a couple of extra minutes.
I år søgte mere end 60 000 af vore unge offentlig ansættelse i Irland.
Over 60 000 of our young people this year applied for jobs in the Irish Civil Service.
Der var kun arbejde til 10 % af dem. 18 000 søgte hos vore to største banker; der var i alt kun 600 stillinger til dem.
There were jobs for only 10% of them.
Dette er problemet for Fællesskabet, og Fællesskabet må begynde at gøre noget ved dette problem.
That's the problem for the Community, and the Community must begin to tackle that problem.
Når der i den henseende kan meldes om fiasko, er det rent faktisk en dom over alle, og jeg siger ikke lord Carrington og det britiske formandsskab, men alle, der har noget med Fællesskabets drift at gøre.
To report failure in that direction is indeed a condemnation of everybody, and I do not say Lord Carrington and the British Presidency, but everybody associated with the running of the Community.
Når desuden landmændenes situation ustandseligt gøres til genstand for angreb, er det igen en dom over den svigtende hævdelse af de principper, der fra første færd blev nedfældet i Traktaten.
Furthermore, the fact that the farmers' position is coming under attack after attack is again a condemnation of the failure to honour the principles set out in the Treaty in the first instance.
Formanden. — Netop fordi jeg er i julehumør, vil jeg sørge for, at medlemmerne kan nå at holde jul i deres hjem.
President. — Precisely because I am in a Christmas mood I want to make sure that Members can celebrate Christmas at home.
Macciocchi. — (FR) Hr. formand, hr. rådsformand, jeg takker det engelske formandskab, der har lært os mangt og meget.
Mrs Macchiocchi. — (FR) Mr President, Mr President-in-Office, I am grateful to the British Presidency, for they have taught us a lot.
Nu da julen er blevet nævnt, vil jeg gerne minde om, at vor vestlige verden også skal fejre jul i Kabul og i Warszawa.
Speaking of Christmas, I would like to remind you that this western feast is celebrated both in Kabul and in Warsaw.
Jeg vil gerne, at vi i det vældige virvar af taler, som holdes i dag, ikke glemmer, at hele folkeslag fortvivlet forsøger at opfriske vor skrøbelige, og stedse mere truede, hukommelse.
I want to make sure that we do not forget in the brouhaha of speeches being made today that there are entire populations trying desperately to keep a place in our frail memories.
Når det gælder artikel 39, i hvilken det bliver pålagt Fællesskabet »at sikre land brugsbefolkningen en rimelig levestandard, især ved en forhøjelse af de individuelle indkomster for de i landbruget beskæftigede personer«, kan vi da ærligt melde om fremskridt i Fællesskabet for så vidt angår disse principper? Jeg er bange for, vi ikke kan.
Mr Bournias. — (GR) Mr President, yesterday's presence here of the President-in-Office and Prime Minister of Great Britain, Mrs Thatcher, was rightly welcomed by the President of our Assembly, Mrs Veil, and the chairmen of the political groups and enthusiastically applauded by most of the Members.
Når jeg tænker efter, slår det mig i øvrigt, at Sovjet ynder at bruge højtiderne til at lade deres hær træde i funktion.
Now that I think of it, I can see that the Soviets are quite keen on public holidays for using their army.
Berlinmuren, det var den 13. august 1961, Tjekkoslovakiet den 21. august 1968, julen 1980 betegnede invasionen af Afghanistan, julen 1981 var undtagelsestilstanden i Polen.
The Berlin wall was built on 13 August 1961, Czechoslovakia was on 21 August 1968, Christmas 1980 was the invasion of Afghanistan and Christmas 1981 has been a state of siege in Poland.
Det kræver en vis portion hykleri — tillad mig at bruge dette udtryk, lord Carrington — fra De Ti's side, når de i London kan tale om ikkeindblanding i forbindelse med situa-
It takes more than a little hypocrisy, if Lord Carrington will allow me to say so, for the Ten in London to talk about non-interference with regard to the situation in Poland when all they had to do was to read the signals of 10 December — as no doubt the Foreign Office did — in order to
På et tidspunkt, hvor Fællesskabet havde forventet, at stats- og regeringscheferne skulle vise lederskab, navnlig med hensyn til at sætte alt ind på at bekæmpe
Her presence was the expected confirmation that our Parliament is playing, and will continue to play, an important role in the development of the Community.
Fru Thatchers tilstedeværelse var en ventet bekræftelse på, at vort Parlament spiller, og også i fremtiden vil spille, en vigtig rolle i forbindelse med Fællesskabets udvikling.
Mr Radoux. — (FR) Mr President, Mr Antoniozzi's report is an attempt to straighten out the working situation in the Council which had become unacceptable to the European Parliament.
Det er med henblik herpå, at vi har fået stemmer fra de millioner af europæiske vælgere, som tror på idealet et forenet Europa.
This is the reason the millions of European voters who believe in the ideal of a united Europe elected us.
Alle de ord, fru Thatcher sagde os om verdens problemer, men også om Fællesskabernes problemer, var karakteriserede ved deres realisme midt i en periode, der er politisk ustabil og kendetegnet ved en kraftig økonomisk tilbagegang, men samtidig bar de præg af en vis optimisme.
What Mrs Thatcher said about both international and Community affairs was marked by its realism at a time of political instability and major economic recession, but there was also a measured optimism.
Kun for så vidt angår menneskerettighederne, bemærkede vi, at formanden for Rådet var fåmælt på en måde, vi ikke finder berettiget.
Only on the subject of human rights did the speech by the President-in-Office show a certain reticence, and this is something we cannot accept.
Jeg finder, at situa tionen i Afghanistan er et af de mest tragiske udslag af en virkelighed, der ligger uden for vor rækkevidde og af de studehandler, som USA og Sovjetunionen måske foretager, uden at vi er i stand til klart at forstå rækkevidden af alt, der står på spil.
The fact is that when summit conferences became European Councils the situation changed from one of concertation to one of orientation, and the Council from being a guideline-giving to a decisionmaking institution.
Allerede i London, hvor De tog meget venligt imod os, tilkendegav vi over for Dem, at vi var meget betænkelige ved, at drøftelserne dér blev ført, uden at de europæiske stater kunne komme til orde.
Two examples alone will suffice. First of all, when the financial mechanisms were established in 1975, the European Parliament was not consulted after the Dublin Conference.
På denne baggrund tegner der sig uhyggelige perspektiver som følge af situa tionen i Polen.
Second example: the Regional Fund for 1978-80.
Endnu engang er de Ti's Europa henvist til at spille Pontius Pilatus' fejge rolle.
The European Council took a decision in the field of non-compulsory expenditure, that is to say where the European Parliament has the most obvious share in decision-making.
Også formanden for Ministerrådet, lord Carrington, som jeg ønsker at komplimentere for det effektive arbejde på mange områder, han har udført under sit mandat, betegnede menneskerettighederne som uløselige problemer, da han talte nu i aften, men også først i denne måned, da han talte til det politiske udvalg, der holdt møde i London, sagde han til os, at intet er blevet gjort for menneskerettighederne, hverken i De forenede Nationer eller i Fællesskaberne eller i nogen anden organisme.
Lord Carrington, whom I should like to congratulate on the fruitful work done on many matters during his term of office, also said this evening that human rights were one of the unsolved problems, and at the begin ning of the month, speaking to the Political Affairs Committee at its meeting in London, he told us that no work was being done on human rights either at the United Nations or in the Community or in other bodies.
Jeg protesterede herimod og mindede om, at allerede i flere måneder har man udsat drøftelsen af mit forslag vedrørende den skæbne, der lides af de græske cyprioter, som man intet ved om siden august 1974, et forslag i forbindelse med hvilket jeg med forundring modtog den oplysning, at udvalget for menneskerettighederne har nægtet at udnævne en ordfører.
I protested at the time and pointed out that I had months before tabled a proposal on the fate of the Greek Cypriots missing since August 1974, and to my surprise had been informed that the Human Rights Commission had refused to appoint a rapporteur.
Heldigvis har det politiske udvalg, til trods for udvalget for menneske rettighedernes indstilling, besluttet at udpege en ordfører.
Fortunately, despite the opinion of the Human Rights Commission, the Political Affairs Committee has decided to appoint a rapporteur, and I hope that this will be done as soon as possible, so that finally, after so many years, the suffering parents and relatives can obtain some information.
Jeg håber, at det således nu endelig efter så mange år hurtigt må blive muligt for de urolige forældre og søskende at få oplysninger om deres nærmeste.
The problem was that the Heads of State and Government were as divided as their own ministers on the same problems and could do no more than return the problems whence they came.
Inden jeg kommer ind på Antoniozzibetænkningen føler jeg trang til, til trods for den afgrund, der adskiller vore opfattelser, komplimentere lederen af den kommunistiske gruppe, hr. Berlinguer, for hvad han sagde i går om Afghanistan og Polen, og som mødte bifald fra alle grupperne, undtagen desværre fra mine 3 græske kolleger fra Grækenlands kommunistiske parti, som i isnende tavshed påhørte den italienske kommunists ord.
Before I turn to the Antoniozzi report, I feel I must congratulate the Chairman of the Communist Group, Mr Berlinguer — despite the ideological abyss which separates us — on what he said yesterday about Afghanistan and Poland, which was applauded on all sides, with the unfortunate exception of my three fellow Greeks from the Communist Party of Greece, who listened to Mr Berlinguer's speech in icy silence.
Med Deres tilladelse vil jeg sige Dem, at tanken om, at polakkerne vil klare deres sager alene, på tragisk måde minder mig om ånden fra München.
Mr President, unless they are straightened out, the intergovernmental procedures by which the European Council operates will continue to contribute to our losing the battle for employment, losing the battle for increased European exports, losing the battle for industrial innovation.
