Hr. formand, De har været inde på en række vigtige spørgsmål, som det er nødvendigt at finde en løsning på, hvis vi skal opnå europæisk enhed.
Some Member States are clearly not prepared to associate themselves definitively with the EMS.
Det er ikke tilstrækkeligt blot at opremse disse problemer. Vi har på intet tidspunkt hørt noget om, hvilken retning De vil slå ind på. Eller hvordan De vil gribe energiproblemet an.
But in the first half of the life of our Parliament, the speech made by Mr Willy Brandt in our first part­session two and a half years ago comes back to me forcefully — a great speech stressing how the Euro­pean problem dominates all the other problems.
Bliver man ved med at sværge til atomenergien med indbegreb af europæisk sikring af søvejene som den eneste saliggørende løsning, eller vil man hellige den alternative energi større opmærksomhed?
He said: 'we must also devote some of our attention to improving coop­eration with the neighbouring States and — however difficult this may be — to continuing the policy of détente between East and West in this part of the world
Det andet punkt er reglen om flertalsbeslutninger.
In global terms, we can only reach agreement with the dollar and yen zones if we first of all put our own house in order.
Formandskabet bør, hvilket De også selv i 1976 i den efter Dem opkaldte betænkning slog kraftigt til lyd for, sætte alt ind på, at traktaterne anvendes til fulde.
We must show again and again, Mr President, that certain forms of policy can be pursued at European level at lower cost and to the benefit of all of us — for instance, our policy on applied scientific research, on which the Commission recently published a memorandum which must have taken even the most hardboiled cynics by surprise.
Ingen nye aftaler, men blot gøre det, der står i trak taten.
Our clarion call is that Europe's very future depends on more integration.
I en lang række tilfælde er det ensbetydende med flertalsafstemninger.
I am thinking here particularly of my own generation and the spectre of unemployment among young people.
Hr. rådsformand, i slutningen af Deres tale sagde De, at 6 måneder hurtigt er forbi, det håber vi sandelig også!
You remind me of the builder of the Titanic, who, unable to believe that anything could possibly have happend to his brainchild, went down with his ship and drowned.

Nr. 1-279/37 de Goede den forbindelse, og jeg nævner i den forbindelse spørgsmålet om et sekretariat for det europæisk politiske samarbejde.
No 1-279/37
Vi må undgå, at der opstår et kunstigt skel mellem det økonomiske og monetære samarbejde i henhold til traktaterne og på den anden side det politiske samarbejde, og i den forbindelse synes Kommissionen at være kommet ind på et side spor.
Meo and censorship and military dictatorship imposed, as long as freedom of conscience is violated, as is the case in Poland.
Jeg sagde det allerede, skellet er kunstigt og det bliver endnu mere kunstigt i takt med den øgede aktivitet inden for det europæisk politiske samarbejde, og i takt med at vi på ny finder vejen til en yderligere økonomisk integration.
No reduction of East-West tension, no rapprochement and no reunification between Eastern and Western Europe is possible except at the price of our freedom.
tiske side af sagen.
Sadly, my hopes were disappointed.
Men jeg tror ikke, at man skal skjule noget for formanden for en institution som Deres, og jeg tror, at man således vil kunne tage bestik af situationen og se, hvordan man bedst kan løse problemerne.
The only concrete points are the drafting of a Council agenda, the rejection of the unanimity idea and, lastly, the setting up of an ad hoc working party on political cooperation.
Og til slut Tyrkiet' og Spanien.
Yes, freedom is threatened.
Jeg insisterer på, at vi i lyset af de massalt afsagte dødsdomme over politiske modstandere udøver pres og fortsat udøver pres for at få Tyrkiet til at vende tilbage til en demokratisk retsorden.
Last Monday Mrs Louise Weiss recalled the year 1981, marked particularly by the assassination attempts against the President of the United States and the Pope, and the assassination of President Sadat.
Jeg bifaldt også af hele mit hjerte svaret på min mundtlige forespørgsel om det fra tid ril anden truede demokrati i Spanien.
May I add that in the last few months Americans representing the Atlantic Alliance in Europe have been attacked, kidnapped our assassinated, whether in Germany, Italy or last Monday in Paris.
For i vort Fællesskab bør vi trods alt i fælles skab garantere for frihed, demokrati og ret og orden som grundlag for vort samfund.
But it is not their freedom, it is our freedom which is threatened.
Thorn, formand for Kommissionen. — (FR) Hr. formand, jeg skal med det samme sige, at jeg ikke i dag agter at kommentere det belgiske formandskabs ambitiøse og veldokumenterede program, som formanden hr. Leo Tindemans netop · har fremlagt.
The European Progressive Democrats Group would like this idea henceforth to dominate all the discussions which will be held at European level between the Member States, the Commission, the Parliament and the people.
Jeg vil blot sige til ham, hvor betryggende det er for formanden for Kommissionen at have hr. Leo Tindemans som formand for Rådet i dette halvår.
Of course there is the battle over herrings, the mutton war and the quarrels on the import of blouses from Hong Kong.
Samarbejdet mellem vore to institutioner kan kun være frugtbart, hvis vi er meget åbne over for hinanden, hr. formand, og hvis vi allerede fra starten undgår misforståelser.
But what is the point of a Council agenda if the President-in-Office of the Council cannot even find the time on his own agenda to attend the election of the President of the European Parliament?
Det har glædet mig at konstatere, at en mand med så kritisk sans som Dem, hr. formand, også har været det over for Deres institution.
You seem proud, Mr President-in-Office, that you have already been invited by the United States and Japan to go there and speak on behalf of the Ten.
Jeg skal gerne erkende, at dialogen i høj grad kan forbedres fra vor side, men jeg tror også, at den kan forbedres fra Deres side.
But would you also accept an invitation to go and' examine the situation in Northern Ireland? Are you willing to include the problems of Northern Ireland on the Council agenda?
For så vidt angår tilrettelæggelsen af arbejdet, kunne vi måske begge gøre en indsats for at opnå større resultater.
And lastly, what good can come of having a President-in-Office of the Council whose attitude towards El Salvador is glaringly obvious?
Det er med udgangspunkt heri, at jeg vil kommentere det, der i går blev sagt Om Rådets uformelle møder og om Kommissionens rolle i beslutningsprocessen.
What can we expect from him when we remember, for example, that he has said with regard to the problems in the Middle East that Uruguay could also send a peace-keeping force?
Hr. formand, De sagde, at De for dette Parlament ønskede, at Kommissionen i det mindste holder samme afstand eller er lige så uafhængig over for Rådet som over for Parlamentet.
Is it not abundantly clear that this is a manoeuvre designed to absolve the Uruguayan dictators of all guilt?
Nuvel, det skal jeg på Kommissionens vegne love Dem, men jeg må heraf konkludere, at De også lader Kommissionen være lige så uafhængig over for Parlamentet som over for Rådet.
Mr President-in-Office, you mentioned a number of problems which Europe must solve if it is to become united. You discussed European monetary union, energy policy and unemployment; but we are all familiar with these.
Programerklæringen fra Kommissionens formand er fastsat til Parlamentets mødeperiode i februar.
IN THE CHAIR: MR DANKERT
Jeg vil benytte de par minutter, jeg har til rådighed til at komme ind på to emner.
A summary of these problems is not sufficient.
For det første Rådets arbejde i forbindelse med mandatet af 30. maj 1980, og for det andet situationen i Polen.
There was no mention of the direction which you have chosen to take or of how you propose to tackle the energy problem.
Jeg vil gerne her over for Parlamentet gøre opmærksom på, at jeg har anmodet medlemmerne af min Kommission om at sætte sig imod et sådant uformelt møde, når der er risiko for, at beslutningsmagten overgår fra Rådet til et uformelt møde.
Are we going to continue to pin all our hopes on nuclear energy, with the protection of the shipping lanes by Europe, or are we going to devote more attention to alternative forms of energy?
Jeg taler naturligvis ikke om de møder, som er virkelig nyttige, hvor man i en meget begrænset kreds ønsker at tale frit ud om problemerne med henblik på at forberede løsninger.
Nowhere was there a reply in connection with unemployment, now that the Commission has shown that a regional approach to unemployment would be certain to create a lot more jobs.
Beslutningerne skal træffes i Rådet efter de retningslinier, der er fastsat for Rådet, og ikke noget som helst andet sted, og jeg ved, at hr. Tindemans er af samme opfattelse som mig.
President. — I call the Group for the Technical Coordination and Defence of Independent Groups and Members.
at den nuværende belgiske rådsformand ikke var repræsenteret på Det europæiske Råds møde, der blev afholdt på dette tidpunkt?
Thirdly, I would like to ask for an assurance that Mrs Thatcher's appearance before the European Parliament after the London summit will be followed by the appearance in this House of Mr Martens.
Jeg har hele tiden rettet mig efter Kommissionens tidligere forslag og har hermed endnu en gang ydet mit bidrag, ligesom jeg har bestræbt mig på at bevise, at jeg aldrig på noget tidspunkt har fraveget disse forslag, og at det aldrig har været mine egne personlige forslag.
Mr De Goede. — (NL) Mr President, I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to you on your election to the Presidency, and I am equally pleased to congratulate our former member Mr Tindemans, as President-in-Office of the Council.
Dette understregede jeg endog i min skrivelse til ministrene. Det er der flere, som vil kunne bevidne.
Fourthly, European political cooperation.
Det glæder mig i øvrigt, at man sidste gang ved afslutningen af vort arbejde i Palais d'Egmont, anmodede formanden før Rådet og formanden for Kommissionen om sammen at finde frem til de punkter, man nåede til enighed om og de punkter man ikke kunne enes om på dette møde.
I think we should examine what role the Commission can play in this, and I would point in this connection to the question of the EPC Secretariat.
Dette har hele tiden været min opfattelse af arbejdet, at det skulle ske inden for rammerne af traktaterne, inden for rammerne af mine beføjelser, og det vil jeg altid holde fast ved, hr. formand, det kan De være forvisset om.
We must avoid creating an artificial distinction between economic and monetary cooperation on the basis of the Treaties and political cooperation in which the executive powers are pushed into the background.
Når alt kommer til alt, er både Kommissionens og Parlamentets institutionelle rolle blevet respekteret i enhver henseende.
In view of the massive death sentences passed on political opponents, we must apply pressure, and continue to apply pressure to get Turkey to restore its democracy.
Vi vil bestræbe os på, at man vil vedblive med det.
I also welcomed the reply to my oral question on the periodically endangered democracy of Spain.
Det vil blive genoptaget den 25. januar.
President. — I call the Commission.
Det drejer sig i dette tilfælde om en fortsættelse af arbejdet på det sidste møde i Det europæiske Råd den 26. og 27. november.
Dankert, Tindemans and Thorn — three Europeans to the marrow and, as it happens, all from the Benelux countries, which could hardly be neater.
Man har kaldt det uformelt, fordi man ønskede, at kun en begrænset kreds skulle deltage.
But let us not raise our expectations too much.
For hvad var alternativet, hr. formand?
Harsh realities compel us to be realistic.
Tre dyrebare måneder ville derved gå tabt, hvilket De ikke kan være interesseret i. Det ville samtidig betyde, at man ikke benyttede sig af den atmosfære, som var opstået efter to dages hårde forhandlinger.
I believe that in addition to their idealism Mr Tindemans and the two others do not lack realism, and in this connection I would like to say a few things to our new President-in-Office of the Council.
Der måtte ikke være nogen afbrydelse, arbejdet måtte fortsættes.
Firstly, unemployment and the economic crisis.
At sige nej ville i praksis sige, at man udsatte arbejdet på ubestemt tid.
Europe must pull the world out of the doldrums.
For at de ikke skal holdes som almindelige møder, og for at der ikke skal være adgang for alle tjenestemænd, heller ikke for alle ministre, men for alle dem, som har deltaget i Det europæiske Råds møder kan fortsætte.
These words were uttered by Professor Tinbergen, a prominent economist, Nobel Prize winner, an idealist, a realist and a Dutchman.
Men Kommissionens sekretariat var repræsenteret.
I also subscribe to this belief.
Jeg har således altid sørget for ikke at være alene til disse møder, at være bistået af den første næstformand, hr. Ortoli.
It should serve as a guide in a situation which for many people is very gloomy; there are, after all, ten million unemployed in the Community, and there is a steadily worsening economic trend throughout the world with the result that only statesmen of courage and imagination are likely to be able to do anything about it.
Kommissionen afviste uden videre at analysere Fællesskabets fremtidsmuligheder udelukkende ud fra en budgetmæssig synsvinkel som ønsket af Dem, hr. formand.
In spite of the limitations imposed by the Council presidency, Mr Tindemans, we do expect something from you.
I dag giver næsten alle os ret i at man ikke bør fortolke mandatet som udelukkende et spørgsmål om penge.
You apparently said in an interview that your period in Parliament was not without frustrations — too little power, and so on.
Alle erkender, i det mindste ud fra en logisk betragtning, at vor generelle frem gangsmåde var god, var den eneste realistiske og mulige.
Well, now that you have been placed literally in the centre of power, we are entitled to expect — indeed, Parliament must demand from you — that this power is directed to the good of those whom we represent.
Vi har deltaget i de genoptagne drøftelser, men vort bidrag indtil dato — og jeg tror, at det er det, som bekymrer Parlamentet — begrænser sig til de forskel lige meddelelser, vi har forelagt for Deres Parlament, og som er blevet drøftet i Deres institution, dels i plenum og dels i de kompetente udvalg. Det vil sige, at det er på dette grundlag, at alle forslagene, som jeg selv og hr. Tindemans har fremsat, er blevet fostret.
Mr Thorn, President of the Commission. — (FR) Mr President, let me say straightaway that I do not intend to comment today on the ambitious and thoroughly justified programme of the Belgian Presidency which Mr Tindemans has just presented to you.
Vi har ikke fjernet os herfra.
That is not the tradition.
Det samme gælder de retningslinier, som jeg gjorde rede for ved det sidste møde mellem udenrigsministrene.
I merely wish to say to him before you all how reassuring and comforting it is for the President of the Commission to have Mr Leo Tindemans as President of the Council for this six-month period.
Hvilke resultater er der så opnået? Der er gjort pæne fremskridt, og hr. Tindemans gjorde alt for at »ruske op i« ministrene for at nå frem til enighed sidste gang.
That will therefore be an opportunity for me to hold an exchange of views in depth on the overall policy followed by the collegia! body over which I have the honour to preside.
Hvem ville De ellers have, at man skulle overdrage den til, hvis det ikke skulle være til den, der repræsenterer institutionen, som skal fremsætte forslag og ud fra hvis forslag man skal forhandle?
As you yourself argued so forcefully in the report named after you in 1976, the presidency should not be encouraged to push the Treaty to its limits.
Ville det ikke have været mere alvorligt, hvis man havde anmodet andre om at fremsætte forslag?
No new agreements should be reached, and the Treaty should be simply observed.
Jeg kan vel undlade at gøre opmærksom på, at særlige forhold gjorde sig gældende, det var nemlig på det tidspunkt, hvor man skulle have ny formand, et formandskifte som også for belgiernes vedkommende betød et personskifte. Hvem kunne vel ønske,
It is incomprehensible, for instance, that voting can be carried out in the Council with the agreement of all parties in matters concerning the budget or the salaries of personnel, while the unanimity rule is maintained for all other problems which, by virtue of their importance, are frequently not allowed to take second place to decisions such as those I have mentioned.
Det er Europas troværdighed, der står på spil, og jeg er meget bekymret i den forbindelse, for vor tid er meget knap.
I would like to use the time allotted to me to talk about two subjects: firstly, the Council's work on the
Jeg skal nu berøre perspektiverne for den 25.
30 May 1980 mandate, and secondly the situation in Poland.
Efter deres opfattelse haster det heller ikke så meget, og der er heller ikke den store risiko forbundet med det.
Ih connection with the 30 May mandate, I should make a preliminary remark on the constitutional aspects of this exercise.
Tværtimod mener de ligesom os, at man må forberede drøftelserne godt og gå energisk til værks.
Commission to oppose such informal meetings whenever there is a risk that the decision-making power may be transferred from a Council to an informal meeting.
Jeg er sikker på, at de vil gøre en lige så stor indsats som os, og at man også i Parlamentet, hr. formand, vil gøre lige så stor indsats, som vi begge har gjort for at datoen den 1. april vil blive overholdt.
Of course I am not talking of some meetings which are really useful, in which the participants want to speak freely about the problems in a very restricted circle in order to work out solutions.
Selv om jeg er meget foruroliget, har jeg dog ikke helt mistet modet. Vi har en chance for at afslutte disse vanskelige forhandlinger.
Mr President, those are our views; even if they have not always been accepted by everyone, I am pleased that they are in complete harmony with those you expressed on behalf of Parliament.
Denne chance får vi den 25. januar, når udenrigsministrene træder sammen i dette Råd, som vi kan kalde uformelt.
The decisions must be taken in the Council, according to the rules laid down for the Council, and nowhere else, and I know that Mr Tindemans shares my views on this.
Dette bringer mig frem til mit sidste punkt, hr. formand, som går ud på at begrunde tidspunktet for fremlæggelsen af vort forslag vedrørende landbrugspriser for det næste produktionsår.
With regard to the meetings of Ministers of Foreign Affairs held on 14 and 15 December and 14 and 15 January to discuss the 30 May mandate, the position is different and I think that we both owe it to ourselves to clarify certain points.
Men vi vil alligevel gå i gang med landbrugspriserne.
I would like to stress that for my part I am prepared, from today onwards and at any time, to cooperate on a more practical level.
Jeg håber, at vi kan få ministerne til at afslutte dette arbejde i forbindelse med mandatet den 25., for at vi herefter i Fællesskabets interesse og i dette tilfælde i landmændenes interesse, kan løse denne opgave inden den 1. april.
May I suggest to you, Mr President of the European Parliament, on the lines of the arrangements agreed with the President of the Council, that if you think it useful we might arrange a meeting between the Presidents once a month to discuss our difficulties and progress, for as experienced politicians you are all aware that one cannot always say everything publicly when matters are still developing.
I mandags besluttede Kommissionen at udsætte de sidste drøftelser om den pakkeløsning, som hr. Dalsager har udarbejdet til næste uge.
At this point I willingly admit that the dialogue can be improved considerably on our side, but I think it can also be improved on your side.
Han var den første til at beklage det, for han havde allerede sin pakke klar i december måned.
Thus, particularly with regard to the organization of the work, we could perhaps both make a gesture towards greater efficiency.
Så det er ikke ham, der er skyld i det. Det er hans arbejde i forbindelse med mandatet, der er årsagen.
It is in this spirit — and only in this spirit — that I would like to react to what was said yesterday on the informal meetings of the Council and the role of the Commission in the decision-making process.
Man forsøger at finde ud af, hvilke forslag der er tale om, imidlertid har jeg indtryk af, at de ikke er så ukendte endda, når man læser aviserne grundigt og visse mere eller mindre fortrolige skrivelser.
Mr President, you said that you wished, on behalf of Parliament, that the Commission would distance itself at least as much, or show itself as independent of the Council as it shows itself independent of the Parliament.
Jeg ved, at nogle her i salen er opbragte over det, men jeg må minde Parlamentet om, hvilke mål vi har sat os, og hvilke mål Parlamentet har sat sig.
Well, on behalf of the Commission I promise you that, but I would also insist that you grant at least as much independence to the Commission in relation to Parliament as it will demand in relation to the Council.
For os er afslutningen af arbejdet i forbindelse med mandatet absolut det mål, vi satser mest på, for det er en forudsætning for alle de andre.
As it was these meetings were a continuation of the work of the last European Council held on 26 and 27 November.
Jeg siger dette med så meget mere overbevisning, som De, hr.. formand, i Deres tale i går forsvarede samme synspunkt.
They were described as informal because it was desired to restrict the attendance. Indeed, what was the alternative, Mr President?
Vi er overbevist om, at hvis det ikke lykkes os at finde en løsning den 25. januar, vil vor politik på en lang række områder næppe have nogen fremtid.
To reject such an extension of the European Council would have been to take a great responsibility — that of postponing the next discussion of the question to the European Council in March.
Dette vil kunne komme til at gå ud over den fælles landbrugspolitik på grund af modstridende interesser.
It was necessary not to relax but to continue. To reject this would therefore have meant in practice postponing the matter to the Greek Kalends.
Det er således klart, at en lidt for forhastet fremlæggelse af prisforslagene ville have grebet ind i arbejdet vedrørende mandatet, især for så vidt angår visse produkter.
And bearing in mind what was at stake, and the urgent need for agreement, such a postponement seemed irresponsible to us.
En sådan forstyrrelse af arbejdet ville således også kunne være farlig for landmændene, som kunne risikere at blive inddraget i et langt større politisk tovtrækkeri, ligesom det ville begrænse mulighederne for at nå frem til en løsning i forhandlingerne.
It is an open secret. So that they would not fall into the category of run-of-the-mill meetings and so that they would thus be open neither to all the officials nor to all the ministers, so that those who took part in the European Council could continue the discussion.
Denne risiko har vi ikke villet løbe, og en uges udsættelse,
But the Commission secretariat was represented.
For så vidt angår de mere specifikke ting, nemlig salg af landbrugsprodukter til Polen, minder jeg om, at Fællesskabet siden december 1980 har fastsat særlige priser, som ligger 15 % under verdensmarkedsprisen.
We took part in the continuation of the discussions, but all our contributions hitherto — I think it is this which worries Parliament — remain within the framework of the various communications which we have sent to Parliament and which have been debated by it either in plenary session or in the relevant committees.
De prisnedsættelser, der er ydet på tranche I, II, III og III a) er hidtil blevet finansieret over Fællesskabets budget.
In other words, it is within this framework that all the proposals made by me and by Mr Tindemans have been worked out.
