Ærede kolleger, vi skal give bevis for, at Parlamentet ikke blot vil forsøge at indføre et nyt system for institutionerne, således at de kan fungere i forbindelse med Fællesskabets nye opgaver, men først og frem mest for, at det er fast besluttet på at forhindre, at andre forsinker dette projekt endnu i lang tid.
In the next elections in 1984 the European Parliament will only be able to justify the confidence placed in it and to gain further confidence if it has proved its value in the work to resolve the main issues.
Formanden. har ordet.
In other words, a principle marked by participation by the citizens.
Nord. — (NL) Hr. formand, hr. Abens' forslag til beslutning, der i korridorerne bedre er kendt som »krokodille-beslutningen«, er underskrevet af mere end halvdelen af min gruppe. Vi har gjort det af over bevisning, og jeg vil gerne meget kort begrunde de vigtigste motiver, der har ledt os til det.
Ladies and gentlemen, only if the Community strengthens and expands the present level of unification will the Community prove able to exercise the appropriate degree of influence and in particular to counter the dangers from the powerful arsenals of mass destruction and from the great hunger suffered in the world.
Kredsen af lande, der ønsker at deltage i denne historiske proces hijr udvidet sig og vil — ser det ud til — blive endnu stérre.
We must also continue to develop European political cooperation and this ought to be dovetailed even more than hitherto with the work of the European Parlia ment.
Det, der imidlertid haster, er snarest muligt før reformen at opnå en væsentlig styrkelse af Parlamentets nuværende beføjelser og større respekt for dets ønsker inden for rammerne af traktaten.
Mr President, if I say little about the reports by Mr Hänsch, Mr Van Miert and Lady Elles etc., this is because my colleague, Mr Van Aerssen, intends to speak on them shortly, not because I have a low opinion of them.
Jeg er ikke helt enig i den opfattelse, at der bortset fra ganske små tilpasninger ikke kan gøres noget i forbindelse med traktaterne.
However, at the request of my Group, I intend here today to deal with the question of whether there is still anything to be done with the Community?
Det arbejde, som det politiske udvalg og dets ordførere, som jeg i øvrigt takker, har udført, viser tværtimod, at der kan gøres en hel del, og at der er en række ting, der kan ordnes.
Must we calmly accept the fact that the unification process is stagnating more and more?
I årenes løb er den balance institutionerne imellem, som er fastsat i traktaterne, blevet forskudt som følge af en række overgreb til skade for Parlamentet og for Kommissionen.
Must we accept the fact that the Council is by now practically incapable of making radical decisions, and must we simply accept the fact that, if the- Council takes a decision, it does so behind locked doors, which is tantamount to a violation of parliamentary democracy?
Balancen, som den er i dag, er næsten ukendelig.
My Group's answer to all these questions is 'No'.
Der må derfor gøres noget, og de forslag, som det politiske udvalg har udarbejdet, giver mulighed for det.
I am glad to say that we basically go along with Mr Spinelli and his friends, and the initiative he has taken in this Parliament.
Vor vurdering af disse forslag er derfor positiv, selvom der er visse punkter, vi ikke er enig i.
We agree that changes are called for in the institutional system.
I det store og hele er det imidlertid idéen i de forskellige forslag og det, at man bevæger sig i den rigtige retning, det drejer sig om.
We appreciate his initiative, but at the same time we realize that some thing else is required.
Vi stemmer derfor for disse beslutningsforslag, medmindre de ændres betydeligt som følge af uacceptable ændringsforslag.
We also appreciate the initiative made by the Political Affairs Committee under the leadership of my colleague, Mr Rumor, which has tabled a number of important reports which we are discussing here today.
Hvis vi ønsker at opnå resultater, kan vi imidlertid ikke begrænse os til på bureaukratisk vis blot at fore lægge disse beslutningsforslag for Rådet og for Kommissionen og så vente på, at disse institutioner, guderne må vide hvornår, gennemgår dem.
Within this context — and let me conclude by this — mention should certainly be made, as far as I can see, of the question of Europe's own responsibility in the field of security.
Denne gang drejer det sig ikke om den sædvanlige rutine, og den fremgangsmåde, vi almindeligvis anvender i forbindelse med beslutningsforslag, forekommer derfor at være helt utilstrækkelig.
Naturally, this is not a Community affair, as the Treaties make clear, but it is something of concern.
Vi har her at gøre med spørgsmål af allerstørste betydning for vor parlamentariske funktion, og vi må derfor gennemføre en politisk handling, som tvinger alle uden undtagelse til at påtage sig et ganske bestemt ansvar.
Certainly this should not be misunderstood as being directed against the Americans, it merely reflects our growing responsibility for our own affairs.
Den oprindelige succes taget i betragtning, er det egentlig mærkværdigt og paradoksalt, at vi nu er komment ind i en fase af stilstand.
As the risks for Europe are on the increase this means that the Europeans' own responsibility is also growing.
Hos mange spores der en vis træthed, en mangel på interesse, en eurodefaitisme og en tilbøjelighed til at falde tilbage til kendte, men i mellemtiden forældede, nationale tanke- og adfærdsmønstre.
Moreover, the current world situation points to the need to define European interests as clearly as possible and to represent these interests jointly as much as possible, both within our alliance, and beyond it.
Man taler om en ny, altomfattende strategi og om den anden gene rations Europa.
However, judging from the new amendments tabled by Mr Spinelli, I think we now see eye to eye.
Minister Genscher ønsker en aftale om en politisk union, minister Colombo taler om nye initiativer med henblik på fællesskabsinstitutionernes funktion.
The majority of my Group felt that we should give substance to our ideas, so that we would not be forced to admit subsequently that small steps can perhaps
Nord punkter, og at vor rolle i virkeligheden består i at udnytte de bestemmelser, som står i de eksisterende traktater bedst muligt.
Jonker that the institutional balance within our Community will not be fundamentally improved by all the small steps under discussion and to be decided on today.
Europæisk enhed kan kun opnås hvis befolkningerne ønsker det. Parlamentet, der er vore befolkningers direkte valgte talerør, må tage et initiativ dertil.
What we wanted to do was to determine the framework within which we would like to work.
Det stod der i det program, de liberale i 1979 forelagde vælgerne, og det glæder os, at denne opfattelse deles af mange.
These were some of the reasons why the Christian-Democratic Group tabled an amendment to the Abens resolution.
Det er nærmest, som hvis man på det teologiske plan ville sætte sig direkte i forbindelse med Helligånden og Gud fader uden at gå igennem Sønnen.
Obviously what we want is a new treaty, and we want the new permanent cqmmittee to give priority to drawing up this new treaty.
Forbindelserne mellem Rådet og Parlamentet må nødvendigvis gå igennem et mellemliggende organ, som findes, og som kaldes Kommissionen. Men »lad os beskæftige os med det politisk-institutionelle«, som hr. Rumor også sagde, og lad hellere det teologisk-politiske ligge.
We are in favour of a permanent committee (a) so that we can keep a constant eye on developments to ensure that the ideas and the drafting of the new treaty do not become bogged down in political foot-dragging and bureaucracy and (b) because the work of the existing subcommittee on institutional questions should continue.
Hr. formand, den operation, vi nu går ind til, er betydelig og har stor rækkevidde.
Our views do not differ in essence from those of the Members who have the Abens resolution.
Hver og en har pligt til at yde sit bidrag. For min gruppe er det af væsentlig betydning, at Parlamentet påtager sig den opgave, og at det sker i en form, der vinder tilslutning med det størst mulige flertal.
We are all perfectly aware that the original proposals by Jean Monnet and Robert Schuman for the ECSC Treaty in 1950 did not provide for the European Council of Ministers.
Ud fra det synspunkt vurderer vi de forelagte ændringsforslag. Vi holder ikke krampagtigt fast ved bestemte formuleringer, og vi vil gerne støtte, andres tekster, såfremt· det væsentlige i vore ønsker ikke anfægtes.
This was incorporated later by representatives of the governments of the Member States, who said 'Let us make the Council a Community institution, and then the principle will be saved.'
Hvis jeg ser nærmere på den foreliggende stak ændringsforslag, så tror jeg, at det ved afstemningen ikke vil koste alt for megen umage at blive enige om en ordlyd, der vil være rimeligt tilfredsstillende for alle.
However, experience has shown that the Council is working less and less as a Community institution. tution.
Der er nogle små udformningsmæssige vanskelig heder.
Treaty just for the ized that we do not want a new(
I dag kan vi give disse forhandlinger nye dimensioner ved at tage et parlamentarisk initiativ, der må spille en stor rolle i frem tiden.
Because we have come to the conclusion that the fundamental lack of balance between the institutions is the main reason why the unification process has stagnated.
Den beslutning, Parlamentet vil træffe i denne uge, vil efter vor mening være en af de mest betydningsfulde i hele dets historie.
Our Group has tabled proposals as to how a new treaty of this kind should look, and I will not go into them in detail here today.
Formanden. — Jeg giver ordet til de europæiske fremskridtsdemokraters gruppe.
sake of it, and we are not saying that we want a better balance between the institutions for the sake of the institutions.
Hr. Hänsch's betænkning angår forbindelserne mellem Parlamentet og Rådet.
One might wonder, Mr President, whether or not we are being too ambitious.
Den bør ikke forsøge at analysere Rådets arbejdsmetoder.
My answer to this is that if we, the European Parliament, start being minimalistic, what can we expect from the Council and the Commission?
Personligt ville jeg være af den mening, at hele den del af hr. Hänsch's beslutning, som netop drejer sig om Rådets arbejdsmetode, ligger lidt uden for emnet.
It is often argued that a policy must first of all be outlined for the Community and then the European Parliament given its part to play.
Og det er et meget farligt sidespring, fordi man derved kræver, at Rådet giver afkald på princippet om enstemmighed.
These, Mr President, are arguments with which I have been personally familiar since 1962.
I øvrigt er det selvmodsigende, fordi man undertiden anmoder det om at afholde sig fra at stemme for at lette beslutningsprocessen.
However, from the historical point of view they have produced no results.
Israel. — (FR) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, vor gruppe, de europæiske fremskridtsdemokraters gruppe, på hvis vegne jeg taler, stemmer for største delen af de punkter, der er indeholdt i de betænkninger, som er blevet forelagt os.
The Council would only take decisions of a legislative nature in agreement with the European Parliament — on the basis, of course, of a Commission proposal.
Jeg vil ikke sige noget om hverken fru Baduel Glorioso's eller hr. Diligent's betænkning, men jeg vil simpelt hen gerne takke dem for det gode arbejde, de har ydet.
The European Parliament would only exercise its right of initiative — and hence act as a constituent assembly — in agreement with the Council.
Vi vil stemme for dem uden forbehold. Derimod kræver de to betænkninger, der er udarbejdet af Van Miert og Hänsch, at vi beskæftiger os mere indgående med indholdet.
This would bring about a balance between two legitimate political forces, i.e. the Council and Parliament, as bodies which supervise and determine the process of integration.
Der er kort sagt, som De ser, mange små kritik punkter, som vi gerne vil give udtryk for i det håb, at forslagsstilleren tager dem med under forhandlingerne om ændringsforslagene. Men som alle andre i denne Forsamling mener vi, at hr. Hänsch's betænkning er et positivt skridt fremad for vor Forsamling og udgør et yderst interessant element.
By means of its right of initiative, Parliament could make a major contribution to speeding up the decisionmaking process and hence the process of unification.
Først og fremmest vil vi gerne takke ophavsmændene til disse betænkninger, fordi de begge, hr. Van Miert i højere grad en hr. Hänsch, har undgået fristelsen til at fremlægge ændringsforslag til traktaterne.
This new treaty must therefore contain a provision whereby if the Council is unwilling or unable to make a decision, Parliament may do so and take over the decisionmaking process in the Community.
I så henseende har vi med glæde bemærket, at forfatterne har forsøgt at udnytte mest muligt inden for rammerne af de eksisterende traktater.
We would be prepared, under such an arrangement, to accept that the Council could reject any such decision by unanimous vote, or, if necessary, a qualified majority.
Hr. Rumor, som i øvrigt er afløst af hr. Thorn, har haft helt ret i at sige, at der inden for rammerne af traktaterne var mange usagte, ikke-udtrykte og ikke udnyttede
Mr President, we take the view that the European Parliament bears a great responsibility for the further development of the Community. It is our conviction
Lady Elles har en original og nyttig opfattelse af det politiske samarbejde.
In the Netherlands, we have a fairly well known football club, Feyenoord, which has a club song which begins 'Not words, but deeds'.
Stort set foreslår hun — og jeg tror ikke, at hun vil modsige mig — at man simpelthen ophæver forskellen mellem Ministerrådet og Ministerrådet, forsamlet inden for rammerne af det politiske samarbejde.
The Commission must, I think, realize that there is a close link between a strengthening of the Commission and a strengthening of the European Parliament.
Stort set ville Lady Elles ønske, at det politiske samarbejde blev institutionaliseret.
When I say 'not words but deeds' it is clear that our Group too has gradually come around to thinking that the Commission has not done very much so far at institutional level.
Og det er ikke tilfældigt, at dette
Perhaps it is still too early for this and we therefore look forward
Israel meningen, at man skal være med i en fremmedsproget elite for at kunne deltage her.
Jonker what are, in effect, extremely modest demands for this directlyelected Parliament.
forslag er blevet fremsat. Det betyder, at vort Parla­ment, i tilfælde af en institutionalisering af det poli­tiske samarbejde, ville spille en langt vigtigere rolle, end det gør i dag, især for harmoniseringen af Fællesskabets udenringspolitik — et meget vigtigt punkt.
Indeed, there are no demands put forward in the proposals before the Parliament in the Van Miert and the Hänsch reports that were not already available to us.
Dagens betænkninger handler alle, med undtagelse af fru Baduel Gloriosos, om at give EF og især denne forsamling mere magt.
Let us remember that no parliament has ever been granted powers, especially by those it is seeking to control.
Ikke fordi vi er imod parlamentarisk kontrol, men netop fordi vi sætter stor pris på demo­krati, ja endog på nærdemokrati.
Powers are not handed to us on a plate — they are seized by parlia ment.
Derfor er for os alle de små og store skridt mod hye beføjelser for EF ikke demokra­tiske fremskridt, men triste tilbageskridt, hvis de ellers bliver til mere end ord og papir, og det sker nok ikke, for i vores land er der et solidt flertal imod en EF­union, og vores regering er heldigvis heller ikke indstillet på at formindske vores folketings indfly­delse.
The parliament of the country from which I come, which has existed for 700 years, is still struggling with the executive, with bureaucracy, with government, in order to get the legitimate rights and demands of the people of the United Kingdom respected and answered within parliamentary and democratic terms.
Personligt, og i øvrigt med tilslutning fra min gruppe, kunne jeg måske kritisere Lady Elles' betænkning for ikke at have berørt den internationale beskyttelse af menneskerrettighederne.
with interest to the report which is to appear by 1 October. We were careful to note that, in the answers given by the President of the Commission in the investiture debate, he avoided the term interinstitutional agreement.
Hvor ellers, hr. formand og kære kolleger, skulle man kunne placere problema­tikken omkring menneskerettighederne inden for rammerne af vort Fællesskab, hvis ikke inden for rammerne af det politiske samarbejde?
We had what Mr Bismarck had to say about the role of the Commission when we discussed the Giavazzi report, and yesterday we heard the opinion on the Commission in the mandate debate, and I must say that we do not find this very uplifting.
Derfor tillader vi os at stille et ændringsforslag til Lady Elles, der tilsigter at medtage bestemmelser vedrørende menne­skerettighederne inden for rammerne af det politiske samarbejde.
However, if it becomes apparent here today that the European Parliament is prepared to break new ground and advance the European cause, if Parliament wants the power necessary to permit it to overcome deadlock in our Community and operate as a deblocking institute in our Community, I sincerely hope that we can count on what Mr Thorn said to the effect that he would not leave Parliament out in the cold and that the Commission would not block any proposals for a better structure with a view to establishing a better balance between the institutions.
Vi ville finde det logisk, om begrebet »menneskerettighederne« havde figureret i den pågæl­dende betænkning.
I hope, Mr President, that the Commission will remain our natural ally since if not, this will have more consequences for the Commission than for the European Parliament.
Den var indeholdt i Fouchet's betænkning, og vi er fuldstændig enige med Lady Elles på dette punkt.
Lady Elles. — (FR) Unlike the previous speaker, Mr Jonker, I shall pay tribute to Mr Brandt's excellent initiative by beginning my speech in French.
Senere kan praksis så lovfæ­stes.
So we can also get the powers that we seek.
Hvad der især er kontroversielt i disse to betænkninger er, at man vil blande sig i Rådets arbejdsmåde, ødelægge vetoretten og tilvinge sig samråd i alle spørgsmål, Parlamentet ønsker.
And so if these reports do not represent what might be termed a blueprint for survival, they could at least be called a blueprint for continued progress along the way in which the Parlia ment should go.
Man tillader sig også at foreslå, at vore fagministre skal stille til møde i Parlamentets udvalg, som om de ikke har nok at gøre med at styre landet.
And we have indeed, since this Parlia ment has been directly elected, already made some advance in strengthening our position vis-à-vis the Commission through the modification of our existing procedures under the rules which were recently adopted by this Parliament.
Det vedrører forsvarsspørgsmålet.
Getting rid of our problems in the long run is a fine aim.
Forsvaret vedrører forsvarsministrene, mini­strene for de enkelte værn og forsvarscheferne, hvor­imod sikkerhed kun består i en politisk strategi i vore forbindelser med andre stormagter.
But one wonders what the point is of spending millions in the Member States to encourage young people to learn a foreign language if we are not ready to give the example by using a language other than our own.
Efter at have fastslået dette, og hvis vi er helt enige i den tanke, at forsvar ikke er ensbetydende med sikkerhed, er vi fuldstændigt enige i denne opfattelse.
If we want to encourage cooperation among young people, in order to stimulate easier and closercommunication, we have to show an example, and this is what Mr Brandt did in excellent fashion this morning.
Hr. formand, hele vor debat om de institutionelle aspekter i vort Fællesskab er en yderst vigtig debat, og vi er meget glade for, at dette Parlament har kunnet diskutere alle disse komplekse spørgsmål med medleven, sagkundskab og også — tror jeg τ— stor åbenhed.
If you like, I can go on in Italian, but I do not want to get carried away and it is better if I carry on in my own language.
Det kan jo ikke være
We look to the other institutions to meet
Diligent­betænkningen foreslår til opbygning af et forenet Europa, at de nationale parlamenter og Parla­mentet skal samordne deres arbejde.
I now wish to refer to specific amendments tabled on behalf of the European Democratic Group, and I will just single out a few. The first is to the report by Mr Diligent on relations between this Parliament and the national parliaments.
Blandt andet skal medlemmer af denne forsamling have taleret i de nationale parlamenter, og formænd for de enkelte landes politiske grupper og ordførere skal bruge tid på at mødes med deres såkaldte kolleger i Parla­mentet.
We do not in this group believe that it is either practicable or desirable for Members of the European Parliament to take part in the official proceedings of national parliaments: otherwise we shall also be subject to members of national parlia ments saying, 'Why cannot we have a right to speak in the European Parliament'? Surely this is something we would not allow.
De europolitiske grupper skal styrke deres indflydelse på de nationale parlamenter.
I therefore do not think it is sensible or reasonable to ask that we should take part in the proceedings of elected bodies elsewhere.
Over for disse forslag må vi hævde vores folketings og vores politiske partiers totale suverænitet i forhold til denne forsamling.
Secondly, the existing information offices of the European Parlia ment in the various capitals should be used by political groups to ensure links with national political groups.
De skal alene vejledes af deres vælgere og udøve den folkelige kontrol, som alene det danske folk har givet dem mandat til.
We do not see the need to establish new offices where these do not already exist.
Hammerich ganske vist vil være nødvendigt med en tilsvarende ændring af traktaterne, men at dets indflydelse på Fællesskabets afgørelser også kan øges inden for de gældende traktater«.
So, Mr President, while recognizing that the initiatives in these reports are valuable to the contribution of Parliament in determining the way we should go, let us realize that our real strength lies in our own potential and our own capabilities and not in bits of paper or resolutions.
Men langt mere militant er Lady Elles' forslag om EFs udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik.
One paragraph of the motion for a resolution contained in the van Miert report refers to what in English —- though this phrase is not used in the actual text — would be described as framework directives.
Så at sige hvert eneste punkt i hendes forslag falder uden for Rom traktaten.
Now while these are to be encouraged, the Council or Commission must on no account imagine that they will escape the scrutiny of this Parliament.
Hun ønsker det udenrigspolitiske samarbejde som en fuldt integreret del af EF med fælles sekretariat og underkastet denne forsamlings og politiske udvalgs indflydelse.
Any second ary legislation which flows from these framework directives must come before this Parliament for its opinion and for any amendments which may be needed to the text.
Her tænker hun på for svarsministrene, der skal afgøre spørgsmål »om medlemsstaternes sikkerhed«.
Another paragraph in the Van Miert resolution says that the Commission is requested to draft legislation on the basis of every proposal from this Parliament for the initiation of Community legislation.
Dette er ikke lovligt.
We believe, of course, that this is an unreasonable request.
Jeg kan love Lady Elles, at vi ikke er enige med hende i, at alt, hvad der ikke er forbudt, er tilladt.
The Commission should be able to decide the proposals and initiatives on which they will draft legislation on our behalf.
Men vi trøster os med, at dette syvmileskridt mod EF som militær stormagt bliver en stampen på stedet.
Where they do not, they should come back to the Parliament and explain why not.
