Da nogle anmodninger om ordet er blevet trukket tilbage, skulle vi, hvis alle holder sig nøjagtigt til tidspunkterne, kunne skride til afstemning præcis kl. 16.00.
And yesterday Lord Carrington referred to three basic problems, three basic objectives, which he called the 'new triptych' of the British presidency.
(Parlamentet giver sin tilslutning til dette forshg Mødet bliver afbrudt kl. 13 og genoptaget kl. 15)
I would say that this triptych must be replaced by the need for a major leap forward which must make itself felt both inside and outside the Community.
De Gucht — (NL) Fru formand, det er naturligvis ikke tilstrækkeligt at have samme nationalitet og høre til samme sprogområde for gensidigt at udveksle høflighedsfraser.
Mr Hurd, President-in-Office of the Council. — Mr President, it has been for me a fascinating and most educative experience to sit through this debate.
Ved en grundig undersøgelse af Van Miertbetænkningen har vi konstateret, at der kun er formuleret få nye originale forslag, for slet ikke at tale om forslag, der indeholder en løsning.
I think that I have heard every speech made in this debate yesterday and today and I have learned a great deal from them.
Således forekommer det os at være verdensfjernt, i strid med de europæiske traktaters ånd og med Domstolens fortolkninger desangående, hvis eftertrykket lægges på de formelle aspekter ved initiativretten.
In a speech which gave the Presidency particular pleasure yesterday, Mr Tindemans gave generous credit to the strength and importance of the British parliamentary tradition, but it is quite clear to me that this Parliament is quickly creating its own traditions and showing a vitality which is very much its own, even though that vitality quite often -takes the form of expressing disappointment about the pace of progress which it has so far made.
Hvad det drejer sig om er, at Kommissionen og Rådet må vise sig beredt til at tage hensyn til de udtalelser, Europa-Parlamentet afgiver efter at være blevet spurgt eller spontant.
Mr Enright. — First of all, may I make it quite clear that what I am saying is not the view of the majority of the Socialist Group, and may I also make it clear that I would have taken a very different line on Monday, because I think the reports in themselves are excellent and do point to a way forward.
Den kendsgerning, at beslutningsproceduren inden for Fællesskabet skal være baseret på traktaterne og skal bæres af den europæiske folkerepræsentation, er snarere et spørgsmål om demokrati end om fortolkning af traktaterne. Kun at henvise til Det europæiske Råds, Ministerrådenes eller Kommissionens hensigtserklæringer har hverken nogen juridisk eller politisk betydning.
But after the vote which was taken on Tuesday it is quite clear that, when it gets down to specifics, we cannot control our own affairs and that in particular we have left the staff in a very dreadful situation as a result of that Tuesday vote.
Af hr. Thorns erklæring ved indsættelsen af den nye Kommission og af de efterfølgende officielle erklæringer fra de pågældende formænd for Rådet viste det sig igen og igen, at man er parat til at imødekomme Parlamentets retmæssige ønske om at deltage i beslutningsproceduren. duren.
I should like the electorate of Europe to scrutinize the list, see who-their representatives are, see what their attendance is like at committee meetings where the hard work of Parlia
Disse integrationsprojekter, fru formand, er efter vor opfattelse i vidt omfang urealistiske især på grund af forværringen af konflikterne, men også af en række konkrete grunde.
The Council certainly shares the concern underlying the draft resolutions before you and the reports which are being discussed, the desire to find ways of rendering relations between our institutions more fruitful and building more confidence between us, so that the resolutions which you pass in this debate will be a vital factor in the further consideration by the Council of the questions which they treat.
For det første udgør den internatio nale spænding og mobiliseringen af imperialismen
As Lord Carrington said yesterday, a powerful ingredient for
Et stort antal af Parlamentets medlemmer bærer også et nationalt ansvar. Det er da heller ikke særlig ærligt at tale for initiativret og udbredelse af beføjelserne i Europa-Parlamentet og på nationalt plan kun drøfte lokale eller regionale prioriteter. Dersom hver af de institutioner, grupperinger og individer, som er involveret i den europæiske integration, ville handle i de forslags ånd, der fremsættes i denne og andre betænkninger, så ville ønskesedlen i Van Miertbetænkningen kunne gøres langt kortere.
If I could say a brief word about the discussion on Tuesday to which Mr Enright has just referred, it is useful for the Member States to have the expression which you gave on Tuesday of your views as set out in the resolution which you have carried.
Kære kolleger, jeg mener, at dette Parlament skal bestå, og det ønsker jeg at understrege.
I would just like to mention the ingenious speech made by Mr Turner, because he referred particularly to the Council.
Men jeg kan ikke tilslutte mig, at der skal ske nogen ændring i forholdet mellem institutionerne.
Indeed it was an effort to heap upon the Council as much as possible of the blame for the unpopularity of the Community in some of its Member States.
Jeg skal på grund af tiden ikke gå i detaljer med dette, det har ordførerne allerede gjort. Men jeg vil godt sige, at vi ikke løser Parlamentets problemer ved at søge at få mere magt.
But I wondered as I listend to him whether it is really sensible from the point of view of Europe to play this game of trying to shift the blame from one institution of the Community to another.
Den eneste måde, Parlamentet kan vise sin eksistensberettigelse på, er ved at lave et ordentligt stykke arbejde.
I think that is not perhaps a very effective way of forwarding the cause of Europe.
Vi har en rolle her i Parlamentet — efter min mening en meget vigtig rolle — som høringsorgan, og den rolle kunne vi givetvis udføre bedre.
We shall certainly try to improve the working of the Council, but instead of one institution blaming another, we would prefer to try to achieve a closer partnership between them.
Det er overordentlig vigtigt, at folkevalgte parlamentarikere og ikke alene embedsmænd og regeringsmedlemmer diskuterer forhold, der vedrører Fællesskabet.
I don't think that Mr Turner entirely took account of all the realities with which the Council has to deal and of the basic need for agreement on the major issues of the Community.
Vi skal være troværdige over for befolkningen, og det kniber det i høj grad med. Vi skylder den at bevise, at arbejdet her i Parlamentet er vigtigt, men det gør vi ikke ved ustandselig at drøfte kompetenceproblemer institutionerne imellem.
If one tried to bypass that need for agreement between Member States and national governments, then I think one would not be strengthening the Community but might well be tearing it apart.
Gredal. — Fru formand, lad mig starte med at sige et par ord til hr. Willy Brandt.
The resolution recognized, of course, that under the Treaties the decision on the seat of the Community's institutions is for the Member States to take.
Jeg sætter uendelig stor pris på Willy Brandt, og alligevel må jeg dybt beklage, at han som hovedtaler for den socialistiske gruppe giver udtryk for, at vi kan nøjes med færre sprog her i Parlamentet. Willy Brandt giver udtryk for, at når vi fastholder vores sprog, så skyldes det ønsket om en nationalisering af arbejdet.
As the Parliament knows, the Heads of Government agreed in March to confirm the status quo, so that it will come as no surprise if all I can do today is to assure Parliament that the views which it has expressed since then, the views which it expressed on Tuesday, will be brought to the attention of the Member States at an early date and that we will ensure that they are properly considered.
Det er efter min mening en urigtig påstand.
Coming to the van Miert report, again it contains, in our view, interesting and important ideas.
Vi er begge to medlemmer af arbejderpartier, og jeg gad vide, om man i Tyskland kan forlange, at enhver arbejder må kunne betjene sig af flere sprog for at blive valgt til Europa-Parlamentet?
We regard it as absolutely natural that you, as the elected representatives of the people, should be seeking to join as fully as possible in the decisionmaking process of the Community.
Det kan vi ikke i Danmark, og trods et udmærket skolesystem er der nu alligevel forskel på at lære et sprog i skolen og så som fyrreårig eller derover at skulle holde en politisk tale på et andet sprog end ens eget.
I will make sure that the points made in the report and in the draft resolution, if it is adopted, are brought to the attention of the Council and I am sure that that will be a useful process.
Willy Brandt sagde, at det var en lille provokation. Jeg bliver nødt til at sige, at den var alt andet end lille.
Again I don't think that you would expect me at this stage to say very much more on that.
Mon ikke befolkningen hellere ville høre om vores ideer og holdninger til dette?
There are two reports which are not the direct concern of the Council, so I won't enter into them in detail.
Jeg er enig i, at der er en kløft mellen institutionerne, og at der må løses op for en bedre dialog med Rådet, og jeg kan kun indtrængende opfordre til, at Rådet mødes med Parlamentets formand og gruppeformændene for at søge at finde frem til en sådan form, at Parlamentets stemme i højere grad kan høres.
I was much interested to hear Mr Bournias' account of the meeting, in which he took part, between the representatives of this Parliament and of the national parlia ments, and I agree entirely with the stress he laid on the importance of the relationship between national parliaments and the European Parliament.
Blumenfeld. — (DE) Fru formand, lad mig som den sidste taler fra min fraktion fremsætte en indledende bemærkning: denne på meget højt niveau førte debat finder for øjeblikket sted uden deltagelse fra vor modpart, Ministerrådet, hvis bænk er tom. Fejlen kan være Parlamentets.
Turning to the resolution, the Council is acting already on some of the proposals in the draft resolution — for example, we circulated in advance of the Presidency programme speech a memorandum setting out the business of our Presidency.
Jeg mener imidlertid, at Rådet under en så vigtig debat som i dag i det mindste burde være repræsenteret.
This was to try and help the dialogue between the institutions to take place on a basis of better understanding.
Det har været en almindelig opfattelse, at denne mødeperiode skulle være en meget vigtig mødeperiode, hvor man skulle diskutere en række politiske spørgsmål — og selvfølgelig er de spørsmål, vi diskuterer, politiske, men de er bogstavelig talt alle sammen præget af, af det er spørgsmål, der alene vedrører Parlamentet selv.
I hope you will find that the presidency will be making particular efforts in the next six months to keep Parliament informed not only on budgetary matters but on the whole range of questions covered by your committees.
Man kan godt undre sig over, at medlemmerne her vurderer situationen således.
That is certainly what we shall try to do.
Min fornemmelse er, at Parlamentet for to dage siden isolerede sig selv ved ikke i enighed at kunne finde frem til en fælles holdning om arbejdsstedet.
I entirely sympathize with the views I have heard expressed to the effect that at Question Time the answers to questions from the Council should be more informative.
Ministerrådet kan nu med rette sige: Hvorfor i alverden skal vi tage stilling, når de ikke selv kan?
Speaking as someone who has to deal with this problem at West minster, I can quite understand the feeling which is being expressed.
Og befolkningen i Europa, som mest har hørt om Parlamentet, der altid er på rejse, kan undre sig. Men det hele skyldes måske, at medlemmerne her i Parlamentet er ganske godt klar over, at der er en vis frustration i parlamentsarbejdet, og hvad gør man
Obviously there are limits to the extent to which the Minister replying can take Parlia ment into some of the dangerous or controversial areas covered by the Council, but within those limits
Det kan jeg i hvert fald fastslå som medlem af det politiske udvalg og af underudvalget »institutionelle problemer« eftersom begge i halvandet år har været med til at forberede disse betænkninger, som Parlamentet straks skal stemme om.
In particular, towards the end of Question Time yesterday, he gave us some rather personal insights into the way in which his own mind was moving on this, and she will, I am sure, have noticed that the ideas which he expressed are very close in several respects to the ideas in her report.
Den særlige betydning ved disse betænkninger ligger i deres dobbelte målsætning.
President. — Ladies and gentlemen, it is now one o'clock and there are still about 20 Members down to speak in this debate.
For det første skal relatio­nerne mellem de 3 fællesskabsinstitutioner forbedres og styrkes og Fællesskabet dermed som helhed gøres slagkraftigere på alle områder.
Since I cannot see how it will be possible to vote at three o'clock, I suggest that we continue with the debate at three and then vote at four o'clock.
Mandatdiskussionen tyder i hvert fald på det. Af alle tre institutioner har Parlamentet for lidt vægt.
(Parliament agreed to the President's proposal — the sitting was suspended at 1 p.m. and resumed at 3 p.m.)
Vi er på vej til at klare vor opgave bedre.
It is already much more intense than most people know.
Vi ønsker, at Rådet og Kommissionen tager Parlamentet alvorligt i dets tyde­lige politiske vilje og ikke tror at kunne forskanse sig bag ved juridiske og bureaukratiske argumenter.
There is certainly room for improvement; but perhaps we should pay a little more attention to making sure that our electors understand the importance and potential of what has already taken place.
Europa­Parlamentet — og det tydeliggør i særlig grad betænkningerne fra Hänsch, Van Miert og Elles — vil handle ansvarligt og forventer, at Rådet aner­kender ændringsforslaget fra et direkte valgt Parla­ment, fra de europæiske borgeres repræsentation, og på sin side drager de påkrævede konsekvenser af de det traktatligt sikrede udøvende og lovgivende befø­jelser.
It is not so that the Venice declaration has been in some way put on the sidelines, or that we intend to abandon it; on the contrary, we believe that the basic principles which it incorporates have been justified by the passage of time, and I would remind him of the statement made at Luxembourg at the last European Council, that the Ten agreed that their efforts should be continued energetically and without respite, taking account of the missions performed by Mr Thorn and Mr Van der Klaauw.
Min fraktion har besluttet, at støtte de betænkninger, som det politiske udvalg har forelagt, og vi håber, at de bliver vedtaget med stort flertal her i Parlamentet.
Mr Kappos. — (GR) Madam President, the main objective of the reports before us is undoubtedly to increase the unity of the Common Market through political union.
Johnson. — (EN) Fru formand, jeg vil gerne hilse hr. Abens og andres forslag til beslutning på det insti­tutionelle område velkommen.
There is a special institution for that — the colloquies — and we are glad that Lady Elles' report draws attention to them.
Jeg vil gerne lykønske hr. Spinelli for det arbejde, han har udført, og jeg ønsker at gøre det på Den europæiske demokratiske gruppes vegne.
In our view, Madam President, these plans for union are largely divorced from reality both because of the very profound opposition to them and for a number of specific reasons.
Vi hilser dette initiativ velkomment og ■ om nogle få minutter vil vi støtte det med vore stemmer. Vi synes, det er på tide.
Firstly, international tension and confrontation between the imperialist and socialist blocs are in any case a negative factor in this approach.
Vi har i direkte forlængelse af min kollega Spinellis initiativer fra før årsskiftet foreslået et stående udvalg for institutionelle henholdsvis forfatningsmæssige spørgsmål.
It is natural that there should be expressions of impatience, though my own view is that some of the more extreme statements of disappointment are not entirely justified by what has occurred.
Vi sagde i sin tid, hr. kollega Spinelli, at vi hilser Deres initiativer velkommen, men at vi derud­over må sætte dem ind i en formel ramme som virke­ligt kan tages alvorligt, så ledes at vi ved, hvor vi går hen.
During our presidency, we will certainly, in this institutional field and the role of the Parliament in particular, do what we can to ensure that the institutions act in harmony, and we know that that can only happen if on the part of the Council careful and thoughtful attention is paid, through the proper procedures, to the voices and opinions of this Parliament.
Vi skal ikke kun fremvise store Visioner, men
Furthermore the proposals in the reports are reactionary and autocratic.
Der er meget, der har forandret sig.
President. — I call Mrs Gredal.
Hvis vi ikke gør det, hvem vil så?
President. — I call Mr De Gucht.
Vi anerkender den sagkundskab, som i kraft af vore udenrigsministerielle embedsmænds dygtighed sætter sit præg på udviklingen af EPS.
Mrs Gredal. — (DA) Madam President, may I begin by saying a few words to Mr Brandt.
Det er imidlertid vigtigt, at dette stadig mere omfattende politiske samarbejde ikke teknokratiseres for meget.
Although I have enormous respect for him, I nevertheless deeply regret the fact that, as the main speaker for the Socialist Group, he expressed the view that we can make do with fewer languages in this Parliament.
Det gælder i øvrigt for hele det euro pæiske samarbejde. Muligvis passer det ikke alle embedsmænd lige godt.
This would not be possible in Denmark, and even with an excellent school system there is still a difference between learning a foreign language at school and learning one at the age of forty or having to make a political speech in it.
For udenrigspolitik opfattes undertiden som værende synonymt med hemmeligt diplomati.
I am not prepared to have a hand in 'depriving Danish workers of their democratic opportunity of becoming elected members of the European Parliament because they cannot speak a foreign language.
Det kan det med fordel være i en række situationer, men jeg anbefaler stærkt, at de folkevalgte organer og politikere i højere grad inddrages i det politiske samarbejde og selv tager initiativet til at blive inddraget.
Mr Brandt said there was an element of provocation here. I must point out that there was far more than an element and that it is unfortunately statements of this kind which make it difficult to win support for the Community in my country.
Og endelig vil jeg til sidst gerne som en grundbetragtning for min gruppe fremhæve, at vi uden forbehold understøtter en videre udvikling af det politiske samarbejde, men det kan og må ikke være en erstatning for det traktatmæssige samarbejde.
It was generally felt that this partsession would be a very important one during which we would discuss a number of political questions — and the questions we are discussing are of course political, although strictly speaking they all have the common feature .of concerning only Parliament itself.
EPS- og EØF-samarbejdet er begge vitale dele af dét euro pæiske samarbejde.
One might well be surprised that Members of this Parliament should take this view of the situation.
Lad ikke nogen tage denne udfoldelse som Parlamentets griben efter magt. Det er det på ingen måde.
The impression I get is that Parliament cut itself off two days ago by its inability to reach a common position as regards its place of work.
Det har at gøre med at prøve at se, om vi bevæger os i den rigtige retning eller ej.
The people of Europe, who have mostly heard about the Parliament always being on the move, may wonder too.
Vi taler her først og fremmest om en mekanisme, en ganske simpel mekanisme.
However, this is perhaps all due to the fact that the Members here in this Parliament are perfectly aware that the work of Parliament involves a certain amount of frustration.
Det er, hvad dette forslag drejer sig om.
So what do they do?
Jeg vil sætte mig nu, da tiden er fremskreden, med en sidste bøn til alle her om at støtte dette initiativ, som vi på denne side af huset vil gøre det.
Mr De Gucht. — (NL) Madam President, belonging to the same country or linguistic area as someone else obviously does not mean that one is obliged to exchange polite phrases with them.
Haagerup. — Fru formand, min gruppe hilser den betænkning velkommen om EPS, som lady Elles har fremlagt, og som vi anser for at være et vigtigt bidrag til videreudvikling af dette samarbejde. Jeg skal ind skrænke mig til tre kommentarer.
After studying the Van Miert report in detail, we have come to the conclusion that it contains very little in the way of new or original proposals, let alone proposals which might provide a solution.
Vi går også ind for oprettelsen af et permanent sekretariat for EPS, men jeg understreger, at det ikke skal svække den rolle, som det halvårlige formandskab spiller i EPS.
It strikes us as unrealistic, at variance with the spirit of the European Treaties and out of keeping with the relevant pronouncements of the Court of Justice to place the emphasis on the formal aspect of the right of initiative.
Det skal ikke forringe betydningen af det nære samarbejde, som er etableret på mange niveauer imellem vore ti landes udenrigsministerier.
The important thing is that the Commission and the Council must show that they are prepared to take account of the opinions issued by this Parliament either off their own bat or following a request to do so.
Vi søger ikke med oprettelsen af et sådant sekretariat at få et 11. udenrigsministerium, men vi er optaget af, hvordan man bedst kan styrke det politiske samarbejdets effektivitet.
The fact that decision making in the Community must be based on the Treaties and carried out by the people's representatives is more a question of democracy than of interpretation of the Treaties.
Sikkerhedspolitik er en del af udenrigspolitikken, og der kan derfor ikke være nogen kunstig grænse imellem det, som kaldes udenrigspolitik og sikker hedspolitik, om end rent forsvarsmæssige og specifikke militære anliggender som hidtil hører hjemme i NATO.
Simply referring to intentions proclaimed by the European Council, the Councils of Ministers or the Commission is of no relevance either from the legal or political point of view.
Haralampopoulos. — (GR) Fru formand, det er klart, at det umiddelbare formål med hr. Abens forslag til beslutning er, — hvad angår spørgsmålet vedrørende fællesskabsorganernes og -institutionernes funktion — at erstatte Europa-Parlamentets politiske udvalg samt underudvalget for »institutionelle spørgsmål« med et nyt ad hoc udvalg.
Since there is no question of revising the Treaty in the near future and since this would be inadvisable anyway, what we need to know is whether or not this Commission and the new Council Presidency are prepared to involve this Parliament in constructive cooperation.
Det skal dog særlig bemærkes, at hr. Abens forslag til beslutning stammer fra Krokodilleklubben, som forsøger at opnå institutionel anerkendelse ved oprettelse af et supplerende udvalg for at påtvinge synspunkter, som, hvis de blev gennem ført, ville medføre en radikal ændring af fællesskabs organernes funktion og af forholdet mellem institu tionerne.
In Mr Thorn's statement on the occasion of the appointment of the new Commission and in the series of official state ments by the President-in-Office of the Council one could repeatedly find evidence of a willingness to meet the legitimate wishes of this Parliament to be involved in the decisionmaking process.
Forslaget har især til formål at forøge Parlamentets beføjelser i forhold til de øvrige institutioner og især i forhold til Ministerrådet.
However, the question still remains as to the extent to which these promises can be put into practice on the basis of this parliamentary report.
