Betænkningen, der i dag står på dagsordenen, er bestemt ikke den ringeste. I denne betænkning frem træder måske stærkere end i de andre betænkninger, den juridiske spænding på den ene side om Parlamentets beføjelser, og på den anden side om begrænsningen af disse beføjelser, som de er formuleret i Traktaternes præcise ordlyd.
What that means in layman's terms, gentlemen of the Council and Commission, is that, unlike the normal parliamentary ratification of international treaties in national parliaments, which comes after the treaty has been signed, we want to see the European Parliament give its approval before the treaty is signed, a procedure which, in the opinion of your rapporteur and of the Political Affairs Committee, does not contravene the terms of the Treaty of Rome.
Hr. formand, måske er det godt, at vi drøfter den foreliggende betænkning til sidst, fordi ikke alene Parlamentet, men også Kommissionen adskillige gange har haft lejlighed til at udtale sig om udvidelsen af Parlamentets beføjelser.
As a result, the Luns-Westerterp procedure, which has been in exist ence since the early 1970s, would be obsolete.
I slutningen af sidste år gjorde Kommissionen i et dokument om den problematik, vi nu drøfter, rede for sit standpunkt; mit bidrag til de igangværende drøftelser vil kun være en uddybelse og måske hist og her en tilspidsning af Kommissionens standpunkt i anledning af de konkrete forslag, der er fremsat i den udmærkede betænkning.
What this amounts to is that, once the Commission has completed the negotiation stage, the European Parliament will exercise the right which it has fought for and won, and which I referred to just now, to be heard on the matter. Only then will the Council formally conclude the agreement.
Hr. formand, ærede kolleger, jeg har med stor interesse påhørt den mærkværdige redegørelse af hr. Blumenfeld om Europa-Parlamentets rolle ved forhandlingerne om og ratificeringen af tiltrædelsestraktater og andre aftaler og overenskomster mellem Det europæiske Fællesskab og tredjelande.
We demand more right of control and participation, not simply because it is becoming increasingly difficult to draw an objective distinction between trade, cooperation and association agreements and to identify their true nature, but also — and above all — because we believe that the fact that all the Member States of the Community are affected by the financial repercussions of these contractual agreements gives us the right to demand such control functions.
Parlamentet har altid stået fast på, at det på en mere effektiv måde ville medvirke ved indgåelsen af inter nationale aftaler mellem Det europæiske Fællesskab og tredjelande. Allerede i 1963 udtalte hr. Furler i en betænkning om Parlamentets beføjelser dette ønske, og før i tiden er der to gange vedtaget en beslutning, én gang i 1964, Luns-proceduren, og én gang i 1973, Westerterp-proceduren, der delvist imødekom dette ønske.
In view of the fact that, in the early 1970s, we fought for, and obtained, the right to act as a contractual partner of the Council in the budgetary sphere, and thus became, so to speak, one arm of the joint budgetary authority, we now wish, at the beginning of the 1980s, to enter into interinstitutional agreements with the Commission and the Council with a view to obtaining additional parliamentary and democratic rights of control and participation in the foreign affairs sector.
Det fremgår af betænkningen og af den diskussion, der er opstået i anledning af ændringsforslagene af det juridiske udvalg samt af det standpunkt, hr. Jonker for udvalget for eksterne økonomiske forbindelser har givet udtryk for, at man er klar over problemernes store betydning, institutionelt set.
While it is true that Article 237 does not provide for Parliament to be involved in the drafting or ratification of accession treaties, the fact is that the political situation has changed substantially since direct elections in 1979.
Jeg er tilbøjelig til at ville sige, at disse problemer faktisk skal løses nogle få ad gangen, ad de små skridts vej, som det allerede er sagt under eftermiddagens drøftelser.
Without wishing to have the Treaties amended, we nonetheless expect agreement to be reached quickly between the Council — representing the Member States — the Commission and the European Parliament on a lasting improvement to what is at present a highly unsatisfactory situation.
Rådet vil drøfte de forskellige problemer under hensyntagen til de vanskeligheder der kan opstå ved at visse forberedende aktiviteter forud for indgåelsen af traktaterne må siges at være fortrolige.
I should like to take this opportunity to make it clear once again that, in calling for the involvement of Parliament in the negotiation of agreements in the meaning of Articles 238 and 113 of the EEC Treaty or in accession negotiations in the meaning of Article 237, we are not demanding that Parliament be directly involved in the negotiations themselves.
I denne fase vil jeg ikke nærmere udtale mig herom.
That, Mr Andriessen, remains the exclusive responsibility of the Commission.
Andriessen dag for dag bliver mere fremtrædende.
I call the Legal Affairs Committee.
Kan vi ikke aftale med hinanden, at Kommissionen vil imødekomme Parlamentets ønsker og spontant oplyse Parlamentet om alle vigtige, orienterende drøftelser, og desuden være rede til at give supplerende oplysninger, når Parlamentet har behov for dem?
He went on to say — and here I am quoting: 'It is an act which gives Parliament's sanction to the accession of Greece to membership of the Community, the importance of which must be obvious to everyone . . .'
Hr. formand, med Deres tilladelse vil jeg gå ind på disse forslag hver for sig og i den nævnte rækkefølge.
You will already have observed that the amendments tabled on behalf of the Legal Affairs Committee stand in my name.
Men før jeg går ind på de konkrete forslag vil jeg fremkomme med en enkelt bemærkning af mere generel art.
This is explained by the fact that they were adopted by the committee after Mr Blumenfeld's report was tabled, but I ought also to add one essential point, namely that the amendments were adopted unanimously by the Legal Affairs Committee with just four abstentions.
Med hensyn til tilvejebringelsen af oplys ninger, vil vi gerne med Parlamentet forhandle om, hvordan den nuværende situation kan forbedres.
The European Parliament is already involved from the word go in accession negotiations by virtue of the inevitable financial consequences of the accession of new Member States on the Community budget.
Med hensyn til nogle anmodninger, der mere direkte er rettet til Rådet, men som Kommissionen burde føle sig berørt af, på grund af den centrale rolle den spiller, og er nødt til at spille, så vil jeg bemærke følgende:
Logically, therefore, a ratification debate and the approval of the European Parliament should take place before the accession treaty is brought into effect by the Council and before initiation of the ratification procedure in the national parliaments of the Member States.
Kommissionen indtager det standpunkt, at det er dens opgave så vidt muligt at give Parlamentet lejlighed til at fungere optimalt, også i denne forbindelse.
Having said that, I should perhaps explain to you that all these amendments stem from the same idea, namely that we propose involving the Parliament more directly in the drafting of international agreements.
Som det fremgår af betænkningen drejer det sig i høj grad om at finde formuleringer og procedurer til de aftaler, for hvilke Parlamentets opfattelse er af stor betydning.
In this sense they merely add weight to the excellent arguments already put forward by the main rapporteur.
Ved at lytte til de forskellige indlæg, især til hr. Blumenfelds, har jeg klart forstået, at det bestemt ikke er meningen med forslagene at mindske Kommissionens ansvar som forhandlingsorgan.
Our aim was, however, to broaden the authority of this House without going beyond the restrictions imposed by Articles 237 and 238 of the Treaty, any restrictive interpretation of which can only harm this Assembly.
Jeg tror ligeledes, at Parlamentet er rede til at indrømme, at en stor del af de krav, det har stillet, direkte ligger inden for Rådets område. Hver af de tre institutioner, Rådet, Parlamentet og Kommissionen må spille sin egen rolle inden for rammen af traktaterne.
In particular, our aim was, in the words used in the last paragraph of one of those amend ments, to ensure that the authorization given by Parliament for the conclusion of an agreement between the Community and one or more third countries or an international organization is an essential requirement, in that it represents a democratically expressed desire to bind the Community definitively to the substance of the agreement.
Spørgsmålet om fremgangsmåden bør, efter min mening, være genstand for en nærmere drøftelse.
I have one brief comment to add to Amendments No 1 tabled by Mr Jonker and No 25 tabled by Mr Seeler on behalf of the Committee for External Economic Relations.
Kommissionen er rede til at optage kontakt med Parlamentet om nævnte emne.
Unfortunately — and I mean unfortunately — I cannot support these amendments.
Er det ikke often sådan, at indgåelsen af aftaler, og så meget desto mere for handlinger om dem, hører til de udøvende myndigheders opgaver, selvfølgelig med muligheden for godkendelse og ratificering bagefter? Og de er somme tider begrænset til internationale aftaler, der har vigtige finansielle konsekvenser.
Secondly, this House cannot — and I say this in all humility, conscious of Members' specialist knowledge — get involved in an interinstitutional negotiation procedure with the Council and the Commission if, right from the very outset, it proposes and determines the minimum acceptable result of negotiations.
Selvfølgelig er det ikke let at trække en parallel med nationale forhold.
I believe that that is a general wish which we all share.
Jeg påviser kun, at de nationale parlamenters position ved indgåelsen af internationale aftaler ofte har et eget særpræg.
I am, of course, referring to the fact that if we must interpret Articles 237 and 238 of the Treaty, anything we may have to say in the ques tion will be without consequence.
Kommissionen vil i alt fald være lydhør over for det, der er sagt herom i betænkningen af Blumenfeld.
I dare to hope that the Council itself will interpret these two Articles in a flexible manner, so to speak, so as to bring statements made by certain Council members into line with our own wishes.
I øvrigt, jeg siger det i anledning af bl.a. hr. Welshs bemærkninger, er der, i alt fald efter Kommissionens mening, ingen anledning til at tro, at Parlamentet vil undervurdere sig selv eller lade sig sætte ud af spillet.
We are now anxiously awaiting an invitation from the Council and the Commission to enter into negotiations with the European Parliament on the subject of interinstitutional agreements, and to bring those negotiations to a rapid conclusion.
Jeg kan i alt fald ikke forestille mig at Parlamentet ikke ville kunne finde en lejlighed til at gøre det klart for Kommissionen eller for andre, at udviklingen må styres i en anden retning, når Parlamentet er overbevist om det.
This too, Mr President, would be a contribution towards reactivating our Community and a symbol of the will to cooperate on the part of the three Community institutions.
Hvilket ikke vil sige — og det vil jeg gerne gøre meget klart — at der efter Kommissionens mening ikke ville kunne findes en vej til, uden at øve vold mod institutionernes opgaver og ansvarsområder, at tage hensyn til Parlamentets ønske om større indflydelse.
That, Mr President, concludes the brief explanation which I wanted to give on behalf of the Legal Affairs Committee; I trust that the Parliament will support the amendments which I have had the honour to put to you on the Committee's behalf.
I diskussionen om deltagelsen, der forhåbentlig inden længe vil blive påbegyndt, vil der kunne vies disse aspekter og den praktiske udarbejdelse af de omtalte ideer større opmærksomhed.
Mr Seeler. — (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I am sure that the overwhelming majority of this House will agree with my Group that the role of Parliament in the conclusion of treaties and agree ments with new Member States needs strengthening,
— der henviser til de tekniske og politiske vanskelig heder, der i næsten alle medlemsstaterne står i vejen for en praktisk beherskelse af samtlige brændselskredsløb,
not only because it is a matter of a directlyelected Parliament's sense of self-respect, but also — and above all — because such a move would strengthen the democratic and parliamentary co-responsibility on the part of this House.
— der henviser til, at Kommissionen, selv om affaldsproblemet ikke er løst, går ud fra, at kernekraftværkskapaciteten, der for tiden er på 38 gigawatt, vil være forøget til 130 gigawatt i 1990,
Secondly — and this is an additional step — the Council should undertake not to ratify any treaty which the European Parliament has rejected by a qualified majority.
— der befrygter, at affaldsproblemet for alle de kraft værker, der leveres til tredjelande, er endnu mere problematisk og teknisk vanskeligt,
As Mr Blumenfeld said, this kind of agreement would indeed give Parliament a kind of right of veto without the need to amend the Treaties.
Man har henvist til den budgetmæssige side af sagen og til selve Parlamentets funktion. Jeg tror imidlertid ikke, at dette behøver at give anledning til en anden procedure. Det forekommer mig, at der som led i en nærmere aftalt procedure kan vises disse aspekter særlig opmærksomhed.
The Member States of the European Community have relinquished their sovereign rights in favour of the Community so that nowadays the Community alone is empowered to conclude trade agreements.
— der henviser til Fællesskabets program vedrørende behandling af radioaktivt affald samt til Rådets tolvårige handlingsprogram vedrørende radioaktive affaldsstoffer (1980-1992), anmoder Rådet for De europæiske Fællesskaber om at oplyse :
Finally, the report we are discussing now is concerned with treaties of accession, and here my Group has associated itself with the opinion of the Legal Affairs Committee and has called in its amendment for Parliament to be given the right of veto on the accession of further countries to the European Community.
Hr. formand, til slut en bemærkning om ændrings forslagene. Efter min mening bekræfter det store antal ændringsforslag, der er forelagt, at Europa-Parlamentet vedkender denne problematik stor betydning. ning.
In my view, section 6 (b) of Mr Blumenfeld's report over looks the fact that, in such cases, it is up to the national parliaments and not the Council to ratify treaties of accession.
På grund af mit forslag om at inddrage nævnte problematik i de kommende drøftelser og på grund af det sene tidspunkt, synes jeg ikke, det er rigtigt at komme nærmere ind på alle ændringsforslag.
What my Group's proposal amounts to is that, in addition to the ten national parliaments, this House too should give its approval to a proposed accession if that accession is to become effective.
Jeg vil gøre det meget kort, hr. formand; jeg forstår at jeg allerede har talt alt for længe.
Even the Treaty establishing the Coal and Steel Community gave the then Assembly that right.
På. visse ændrings forslag har jeg allerede reageret indirekte i mit indlæg. Der er selvfølgelig grund til senere at komme ind på et antal konkrete punkter ved udarbejdelsen af de forskellige ideer.
I also wonder, ladies and gentlemen, what kind of mandate was given to us by our voters if not the right to have a say in any proposed enlargement of the Community.
Afstemningen vil finde sted i næste afstemningstid.
They thus clearly spell out what our future aim.is and what appears to us to be attainable at the present time.
Formanden. — Næste punkt på dagsordenen er forhandling under ét om:
This point is stressed too in the amendment tabled by the Committee on External Economic Relations, an amendment which my Group has incorporated in full into its own amendment.
Vandemeulebroucke. — (NL) Hr. formand, idet jeg henviser til artikel 85, stk. 1, i forretningsordenen, anmoder jeg om at Lizin-betænkningen henvises til fornyet udvalgsbehandling.
However, the right we must demand for the European Parliament will involve an amendment to the Treaties, and it seems to me that there is little chance of getting that through the national parliaments at the present time.
Jeg anmoder herom, ikke alene på grund af de mange ændringsforslag, der er forelagt, og som i øvrigt rejser tvivl om tekstens afbalancerethed.
It is regrettable that we should have to come to this conclusion all the time, but the fact is that many national parliaments are simply afraid of relinquishing any more influence and power.
Endvidere er den mundtlige forespørgsel forhandling af Linkohr m.fl. til Rådet 1-966/81) inddraget i forhandlingerne.
The national parliaments have had no right to be involved in the conclusion of trade agreements ever since 1973.
Den vedrører: Affaldsproblemet for Fællesskabets kerne kraftværker og de kernekraftværker, som medlemsstater af Fællesskabet leverer til.
On the contrary, it is in the interest of the national parliaments to enable the European Parliament to represent parliamentary inter ests more energetically than has so far been the case as regards the conclusion of treaties.
Stillerne af dette spørgsmål,
This could do a great deal towards strengthening democracy in the European Community.
Et af hr. Coppieters beslutningsforslag var i sin tid forelagt med anmodning om uopsættelig forhandling med 21 under skrifter, og fru Lizins underskrift var blandt disse.
President. — I call the Group of the European People's Party (Christian-Democratic Group).
Den drejede sig om atomuheldet i La Hague. I betænkningen af Lizin bliver de to beslutningsforslag af Coppieters ikke omtalt nogen steder, hverken i præamblen, eller i forslaget til beslutning eller i begrundelsen.
The amendments tabled by the Committee on External Economic Relations and the Socialist Group aim to improve the degree of involvement of the European Parliament by bringing into being an agreement of this kind in two different ways.
Det tredje beslutningsforslag af vor kollega Michel får heller ikke nogen eller en meget utilstrækkelig omtale; jeg synes ikke alene, at det vidner om mangel på elementær politisk kollegialitet,
Firstly, the idea is that the Council and the European Parliament should under take to initiate a conciliation procedure in cases where differences of opinion exist between the two institu
— der er foruroliget over, at problemet med slutdeponering af højtradioaktivt affald i praksis ikke er blevet løst nogen steder,
Mr Jonker. — (NL) Mr President, in view of the outstanding contributions we have just heard from Mr
Vandemeulebroucke men jeg synes også, at det er en fuldkommen uantagelig og foruroligende fremgansmåde.
Jonker important subject in his report. It is nice to see such unanimity in the House on such a subject.
Hr. formand, forestil Dem et øjeblik, hvad det kan føre til for Parlamentets virksomhed, hvis der for eks. i et beslutningsforslag eller præambel overhovedet ikke blev henvist til Polen.
The important thing, I think, is that we all share the rapporteur's objectives, though there may be some disagreement among us about means.
Jeg synes, det er foruroligende, og jeg anmoder derfor om at Lizin-betænkningen henvises til fornyet udvalgsbehandling og at mit forslag sættes under afstemning.
In general my group would like to associate itself with the remarks made by Mr Seeler and Mr Jonker and we will indeed support the amendment tabled by the Committee on External Economic Relations.
Ved den lejlighed tog det til efterretning, at Kommissionen ville fremsætte egnede forslag til gennemførelse af denne plan.
Time does not permit me to deal in detail with all the points raised in the Blumenfeld report.
På grundlag af disse forslag vedtog Rådet i 1980 et forskningsprogram vedrørende forvaltning og oplag ring af radioaktive affaldsstoffer.
I would like to concentrate specifically on the implications of Article 113 of the Treaty and Parliament's own procedures for dealing with these agreements.
Programmets hovedformål er at gennemføre et vurderingsarbejde og at indsamle forsøgsmateriale, således at slutdeponering kan gennemføres ved udgangen af dette århundrede.
Before doing so, however, I would like to associate our group most strongly with the Blumenfeld report's attitude to the accession of new Member States under Article 237.
Affaldsstoffernes midlertidige oplagring sikres i dag på afprøvede sikkerhedsmæssige vilkår.
On those grounds we stand four-square behind Mr Blumenfeld's position.
Formelt er dermed bestemmelsen i artikel 47, stk. 3, opfyldt.
Blumenfeld and Mr Seeler, I shall be very brief.
Alligevel må jeg forelægge forslaget om fornyet udvalgsbehandling for Parlamentet, fordi det ikke tilkommer formanden at afgøre, om de forskellige beslutningsforslag, som en betænkning bygger på, er behandlet og taget i betragtning i en betænkning, der omhandler selve sagen.
There are just a few comments I should like to make on Amendment No 1 tabled by the Committee on External Economic Relations seeking to amend paragraph 1 (a) on Mr Blumenfeld's motion for a resolution.
Lizin. — (FR) Hr. formand, Deres opfattelse af sagen er helt korrekt; de beslutninger, som hr. Vandemeulebroucke omtaler, er nævnt i teksten.
We have confined ourselves to this specific point, Mr President, for the perfectly simple reason that what is at issue here is trade policy in the meaning of Article 113 of the Treaty.
Det af Rådet vedtagne handlingsprogram omfatter udelukkende foranstaltninger vedrørende affaldsstoffer, men ikke oparbejdning.
95% of all international treaties are in the field of trade policy, a sector in which the Committee on External Economic Relations feels it has special responsibilities.
De aktiviter, der er iværksat som led i handlingsprogrammet, har ikke til formål at finde frem til et enkelt oplagringssted, men at sikre samordning mellem alle bestræbelser på at fremme arbejdet med sådanne oplagringspladser.
In principle, we agree with Mr Blumenfeld and all the other Members that Parliament must, in the long run, be given more say in approving treaties of this kind.
Samarbejdet mellem medlemsstaterne indgår som et led i handlingsplanen.
However, our amendment differs from the motion for a resolution on two points.
Jeg gør dog de ærede medlemmer opmærksom på, at flere medlemsstater har taget deres kernenergipolitik op til fornyet over vejelse på baggrund af de mange offentlige debatter, som har fundet sted herom.
Firstly, on the point of amendments, the Committee on External Economic Relations takes the view that the Council and the Commission should submit all agreements to the European Parliament.
Det er derfor ikke muligt endegyldigt at besvare spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt der fra Fællesskabets side skal tages initiativ til nye bestræbelser, før resultatet af ovennævnte overvejelser foreligger.
We are in favour of a technically simple procedure, but all agreements should be submitted to the European Parliament, and it should not be up to the Commission and the Council to decide which agreements are important from the point of view of Parliament.
Formanden. — Hr. Seligman har ordet.
That should be up to Parliament itself to decide.
Vi har haft mere end 80 ændringsforslag i udvalget.
This means that a very important constitutional power had been delegated to the Community.
Fru Lizin har været en udmærket ordfører, hun har godkendt alle ændringsforslagene, og det ville være fuldstændig absurd at sende forslaget tilbage til fornyet udvalgsbehandling. handling.
The Council, however, is not subject to any form of democratic control whatever in exercising this power, although it is true that national ministers will be responsible to national parliaments.
