De tredive år mellem 1952 og 1982 har været fredens år i Det europæiske Fællesskab, en ukendt velfærdsvæksts år, år med afkolonisering, år med dybtgående forandringer i samfundet.
Aware of its representative character and the political nature of its task, the Assembly has constantly affirmed its sovereignty — in a limited area, of course — and its day-to-day talking partners, the High Authority of the ECSC and the special Council of Ministers, have never been at pains to suggest otherwise, as the speeches made on 10 and 11 September 1952 reveal.
I tredive år har der bestået et fællesskab baseret på folkenes vilje til at forenes i en udvikling i fællesskab, i tredive år har man virkeliggjort et par »tåbelige idealisters« drøm, der mente, at europæerne takket være
I quote : 'The Assembly shall consist of delegates who shall be designated by the respective Parliaments from among their members or elected by direct universal suffrage in accordance with the procedure laid down by each High Contracting Party'.
Dog er der sket meget mellem 1952 og de direkte valg til et Europa-Parlament i 1979.
Its oldest Member, the honourable Boggiano-Pico, said: 'In taking up our duties we must bear in mind that the Assembly has the power to approve or reject the proposals in the reports submitted by the High Authority and simplicitly, to bring about the resignation of the members of the High Authority.'
Ofte ¡mod en række regeringer i medlemsstaterne, ofte imod de nationale parlamenter har det delegerede Europa-Parlament — som hr. Poher også antydede — tiltvunget sig budgetrettigheder, der i visse henseender går ud over en række nationale parlamenters.
I would remind you of the speech made by President Spaak on the day of his election, 11 September 1952, and of the words of Jean Monnet, who replied in the same vein : 'Thus, within the limits of its powers, your Assembly is sovereign.
Den, der ser ud over de forløbne tredive år, må indrømme, at Europa-Parlamentet er den eneste af de tre poltiske institutioner i Fællesskabet, der har kunnet udvikle sig i positiv retning.
Common Assembly, the latter being slightly modified by the co-opting of nine additional members.
Ministerrådet er devalueret fra et fællesskabsorgan til et forum for hårdnakket fastlægning på nationale interesser.
How ever, it very quickly became clear that a common de fence policy was unthinkable without a common for eign policy, which called for the creation of a political Community.
Kommissionen, der under Hallstein havde ambitioner i retning af at regere Europa, må nu gøre sig hård for ikke at synke ned til at blive et sekretariat for Rådet.
In fact, under Article 38 of the EDC Treaty the Assembly of this new Community was charged with drafting the Treaty establishing a political Community.
Kun Parlamentet er, og det skal indrømmes, ud fra en beskedem startposition, konsekvent gået ad den opadgående vej og har kunnet gøre det, fordi de to andre organer var svage.
I would point out, ladies and gentlemen, that this was not only a great honour for the Assembly but was also a curious procedure, it being the first time that members of Parliament rather than diplomats had been called on to regulate relationships between States.
På nogle politiske områder fører det allerede til spirer til en ny politik — jeg tænker på landbruget og også på udviklingssamarbejdet.
Thus was born the ad hoc Assembly, the first task of which was to set up a Constitutional Committee to create a true constitution for Europe.
Egentlig er Europa-Parlamentet bedre udrustet til kontrolfunktion end de nationale parlamenter, hvor et flertal også har den opgave at holde en siddende regering i sadelen.
This constitution envisaged a Europe halfway between a Federation and a Confederation, with a two-tier Parliament (house of representatives and senate), a European Executive Council, a Council of Ministers and a Court of Justice.
Denne udvikling er fortsat efter de direkte valg. Disse valg har ikke alene skaffet Parlamentet, men også hvad der sker i Fællesskabet som sådant en langt højere grad af legitimitet.
Finally, this is what Chancellor Adenauer, President of the Council of Ministers, said in those historic days: 'You are the first sovereign Parliament in Europe founded on a supranational basis.
Elementerne kender også vi udmærket, både på det kulturelle, det økonomiske, det sociale og det politiske plan.
The formation of your Assembly marks a new step in our plans to create a new Europe'.
Takket være de direkte valg er vi ikke længere delegerede folkerepræsentanter for nationalstater mere, men bærere af et autonomt og direkte mandat.
The Assembly set to work by increasing the number of sessions, provision having originally been made for only one session per year, to be held each .May; an organizing committee chaired by Mr Paul Reynaud took charge of this work.
Vi er blevet repræsen tanter for folkene i Det europæiske Fællesskabs medlemsstater.
A Committee on Rules of Procedure and Accounting was created and from 1953 onwards numerous special ized committees were set up to follow the major Com munity activities in detail.
Vort Parlament er rigere på nuancer end de fleste nationale parlamenter, da forskellighederne mellem folk og stater spiller en rolle hos os ved siden af sociale, regionale og ideologiske forskelle.
It was before such commit tees that the members of the High Authority and, later, the Ministers representing the Council would appear to answer all the questions put by the current Members of the Assembly.
Vort problem, også ved kontrollen, er da også i mindre grad det, at vi har for få i traktaterne fastsatte beføjelser, end det, at beføjelserne ikke rigtig kan anvendes til noget, fordi Fællesskabet foreslår for lidt.
The EDC plan failed, and in the upheaval the ad hoc Assembly disappeared. However, although this failure was keenly felt by all committed Europeans, they did not give up.
For meget europæisk politik, jeg tænker her navnlig på social — og regionalpolitikken, er endnu national politik med støtte fra Fællesskabet, hvor kun ringe 'kontrol er mulig, da det kontrollerende organ, Kommissionen, mere har karakter af en regnskabsfører end af en regering.
I recall a report produced on 2 December 1954 by the Common Assembly's Commission on Pol-itical'Affairs and External Relations concerning the Assembly's powers of control and the exercise of these powers.
Endvidere eksisterer der endnu alt for lidt europæisk politik: Landbruget, det interne marked og den eksterne handel, i sig selv yderst betydningsfulde, er et utilstrækkeligt grundlag for en direkte forbindelse mellem de valgte Europa parlamentarikere og alle deres vælgere.
The purpose of the report was to promote a reform of the ECSC and to revive interest in the con struction of a united Europe.
Det fore kommer mig da også at være et af de bedste midler til at styrke Parlamentet at styrke Fællesskabet.
I have.noted a sentence from the introduction : 'It is to the Common Assembly that one always returns when studying the Community institutions'.
Vi er fra et Parlament af deltidsbeskæftigede blevet et Parlament af fuldtidsbeskæftigede, og antallet af medlemmer er mere end fordoblet.
Clearly, it was the Assembly that was capable of introducing the changes needed to rid the Community of its inevitable weaknesses.
Denne legitimitet og denne professionalisering i forbindelse med valg kampene, fulde af løfter for fremtiden, har måske vakt for store forventninger med hensyn til vore poli tiske muligheder, navnlig hos dem, der kun har lidt forståelse for det helt egne ved fællesskabsstrukturen.
At each stage and at each obstacle, as at each success, parliamentary action has provided the spur, chiefly at the political level, to produce new initiatives, new proposals, new attitudes and new projects.
De forsøg, som Kommissionens formand for øjeblikket gør for at vinde medlemsstaternes regeringer for omstrukturering af politikken — en følge af mandatet af 30. maj 1980 — forøgelsen af de egne midler, Spaniens og Portugals tiltræden og forbedringen af Parlamentets stilling under ét, kan vi kun hilse med glæde.
Finally — and this is absolutely vital for it marks the major difference between the Common Assembly (later the European Parliament) and other international bodies — there was the creation of plurinational political groups, the setting up of which was laid down in the Resolution of June 1953.
Dette er ikke den eneste negative virkning af de direkte valg.
The monumental nature of the task became clear during this period.
Jeg tænker, at vi med dem, at vore poli tiske partier — idet der blev set bort fra det helt egne ved fællesskabsstrukturen — i 1979 hos vælgerne har vakt en række konkrete, til dem direkte henvendte forventninger, der dengang lå uden for enhver realitet.
I should like to quote Mr Spaak, who, as Chairman of the Intergovernmental Committee, addressed us as follows on 13 March 1956: 'It was your message in December 1954, in the aftermath of the failure of the EDC, that reopened the road to Europe.
Fællesskabet er ikke nogen stat og kender heller ikke noget parlamentarisk system i klassisk forstand.
On this account, ladies and gentlemen, you are entitled to be regarded as the true instigators of the revival'.
I en tid, hvor det er mere og mere nødvendigt at benytte Fællesskabet som det bedste middel til at gå i gang med fælles problemer, ser det ud, som om beredvilligheden hertil bliver mindre og mindre.
At the same time as preparations were being made for the launching of the Common Assembly, the need for the Federal Republic of Germany to ally itself to the Western defence effort was becoming increasingly evident.
Vi må som europæiske folkerepræsentanter overbevise den offentlige mening om, at de nationale regeringer er for kortsynede.
This preoccupation led to the signing, on 27 May 1952, of the Treaty establishing the European Defence Community, better known as the EDC.
Vi kan kun gøre dette, hvis vi kan fortælle, hvad Europa kan gøre for hvilken pris.
Under the terms of the Treaty this new Community would share with the ECSC a Court of Justice and the
Formanden forslag, der konkret anviser, med hvilken politik den øjeblikkelige recession kan bringes til ophør.
Poher long battle. Initially the term was accepted only in two languages, German and Dutch, the title in French and Italian being the 'European Parliamentary Assembly'.
Efter et besøg i en række latinamerikanske lande er jeg mere end nogensinde overbevist om, at ved iværksættelsen af en sådan politik, må den tredje verden ikke lades ude af billedet.
On 30 March 1962, in the interests of unity and wish ing to take account of the progress achieved, the Assembly itself decided that it should henceforth be known as the 'European Parliament' in the four official languages.
Det synes ikke nogen normal parlamentarisk opgave med sådan et forsøg på over en bred front at nå frem til politiske forslag.
This title was not accepted by the United Kingdom until after the direct élections, and it is still rejected by France, at least in official texts.
Jeg har allerede sagt: Europa-Parlamentet er ikke noget »normalt« parlament. Det har en »forum« funktion, som nationale parlamenter ikke har.
This, I must confess, makes me feel a little awkward, for I, together with President Furier, was the originator of this attempt at linguistic unity.
Også dette er en følge af de direkte valg, som vi måske var for lidt forberedte til.
Your title has in fact been accepted through use.
folkeafstemning, og selv om jeg helt bakker Spinellibetænkningen op, finder jeg det livsfarligt at begrænse 1984 valgene til et referendum om ét emne.
(Applause) heritage, which could provide a powerful lever for influencing the course of European development.
Kun at gå med Spinelli til vælgerne er at sætte alt på ét kort med risiko for, som Frankfurter Allgemeine af den 18. august i år konkluderer, ikke at blive »gewählt«, men »abgewählt«.
I noticed, President Dankert, during your recent speech in Arnhem, that you quoted our colleague Mr Patijn, comparing European unification with the building of a Gothic cathedral.
Sådan kan det og sådan må det ikke være, efter at direkte valg nu engang er vedtaget.
As you said, the generation of believers which started the work knew that it would never see its work completed.
Med Spinelli alene begiver vi os ud på en farlig vej. Hvor god denne betænkning end er, så står det fast, at en overbetoning af den institutionelle problematik kun vil vække liden interesse hos vore vælgere.
And in fact the work often took over a century, and sometimes several centuries.
Vi må stræbe efter overensstemmelse i indholdet. Og derfor må vi stræbe efter at formulere en løsning navnlig på den social-økonomiske problematik.
But let us hope, Mr President, that our successor and the generations of the future will one day hear the mighty organs echoing in the vaults of your cathedral!
Hvis det lykkes, kan vi også overbevise vælgerne om nødvendigheden af en bedre institutionel ligevægt.
We shall not be there, but we shall have been happy because our dream will at last have come true.
De forstår, at efter min opfattelse er valgene i 1979 et vendepunkt i Europa-Parlamentets trediveårige historie.
Before finishing I should like to recall some of the initiatives of the European Parliament.
Samtidig var det uundgåeligt, at vi efter 1979 kunne arbejde, som vi havde gjort før 1979. Kun langsomt kom forandringen.
It was the first institution to emphasize the need for an active regional policy, one of the keys in the development of the European Community.
Det skete ikke uden rystelser: Spørgsmålet om Kommissionen er vor naturlige forbundsfælle, står stadig åbent; dette gælder også for spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt Parlamentet og Kommissionen er sådanne bureaukratier, at politikerne står i bureaukratiernes tjeneste og ikke omvendt.
A further initiative was the drafting of a convention for the direct election of the Assembly, under the terms of Article 138 of the Treaty of Rome.
Jeg mener, at vi som Parlament efterhånden er ved at finde vor vej.
The man responsible was Mr Dehousse.
Når jeg prøver mine erfaringer fra samråd med Rådet og fra sagernes gang inden for Parlamentet, må jeg konstatere, at vi er et mere politisk organ en Rådet, og at vi har mere politisk mod end Kommissionen.
In 1970 the Parliament acquired wider budgetary powers and the principle of own resources was introduced.
Dette betyder ikke, at vi er det bedst tænkelige Europa-Parlament.
Special credit must go to the chairman of your committee, Mr Spénale, for his work in this field.
Takket være europæisk enhed er dette lykkedes. I dag er målet et andet.
In this hope, ladies and gentlemen of the House, we place our trust in you.
»Når Europa-Parlamentet 1984?« Dette spørgsmål er ofte blevet stillet i de forløbne måneder.
The European Parliament developed the questions procedure, resulting in 1973 in the introduction of Question Time, along the same lines as the system used in the British House of Commons.
Naturligvis når vi 1984.
In 1972, certain motions of censure were tabled on four occasions.
Men jeg nærer bekymring for valgene i det år.
I now call Mr Thorn, the President of the Commission of the European Communities.
Jeg gentager: Afgørende for interessen for valgene er Fællesskabets situation, og vi må derfor arbejde hårdt for at forbedre denne.
The European Parliament has strengthened its relations with the Council of Ministers and succeeded in setting up a permanent dialogue with this vital Com munity institution.
Vi vil blive dømt efter, hvad vi selv og Fællesskabet har udrettet i de fem år mellem 1979 og 1984.
Ladies and gentlemen, in standing back a little, in taking the time to sift at leisure through my memories, I have been increasingly aware of the richness of the heritage bequeathed to you by the Assembly composed of representatives delegated by the national Parliaments.
Jeg ser derfor med skepsis på tilbøjeligheden til at tale mere om en traktat om en europæisk union end om det andet europæiske valg.
Your European Parliament, born from the first direct elections in history, was not therefore altogether without precedent, and the type of institution for which it laid the foundations was not entirely new.
Valgene i 1984 er valg, ikke nogen
Nevertheless, it is up to you to enrich this considerable
(Det højtidelige møde hævet kl. 13.10)
His personal commitment to Europe stands as an example to us all.
Vi erklærer, at vi til stadighed vil søge lov og ret opretholdt, og sender meddelelsen om vor harme og dybe medfølelse til republikken Libanons folk.
Ladies and gentlemen, we take all this so much for granted that it may seem quite ordinary today.
(Mødet genoptaget kl. 15) (')
But let us consider the other international organizations.
Ellemann- Jensen, formand for Rådet. — Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, inden vi vender os til dette mødes dagsorden, vil jeg gerne på Rådets vegne fremsætte en udtalelse i anledning af det sørgelige og foruroligende budskab fra Beirut om drabet på præsident Gemayel og en stor gruppe af hans tilhængere.
A time for telling the public what has been accomplished and emphasizing how much has been accomplished, while acknowledging that a great deal remains to be done.
Det eneste, vi kan gøre, er at give udtryk for vor dybe medfølelse og erklære os solidariske.
Need I point out that European reconciliation has been achieved over these 30 years?
Lad os sammen advare alle dem, alle disse grusomme kræfter, som vitterligt på ny vil kaste Libanon ud i en frygtelig krig, og lade dem forstå, at vi står solidariske ved Libanons side og ønsker, at landet skal genvinde sin fulde suverænitet.
That wars between Europeans have been banished and are now inconceiv­able; that a large market benefiting from the strength of a united Europe has been created, even if it has not yet been completed; that a monetary system designed to ensure the stability of our economies has been established; that common policies have been intro­duced — not enough, we still say — and that political cooperation between the Member States has made enormous progress in the wake of economic unifica­tion?
Mordet på Libanons nyvalgte præsident, Bechir Gemayel, er det seneste udtryk for den onde cirkel af vold, der har præget landet siden borgerkrigen i 1975-76.
The area in which the greatest progress has been made is the budget; as everyone knows, this is the most essential area for any Parliament to be able to wield its powers.
Vi må på det stærkeste fordømme denne afskyelige handling imod Libanons lovligt valgte præsident. Der var håb om, at valget af Bechir Gemayel kunne blive indledningen til en styrkelse af den libanesiske regerings autoritet, samt at der nu kunne tages skridt mod national udsoning mellem landets stridende grupper.
Although the initial texts endowed the Euro­pean Parliament with only very limited powers, these have been widening gradually over the years, and I am thinking in particular of the two Treaties of 1970 and 1975 and, of course, of the conciliation procedure which came into force in 1975 and was supplemented by the Joint Statement signed by the three Presidents of the Community institutions last July.
Forhåbentlig vil bestræbelserne på at genskabe Libanons uafhængighed og nationale enhed, som er uundværlig for freden i området, også kunne overvinde det anslag, som denne ugerning har rettet mod Libanons valgte leder.
At the same time, as Mr Poher pointed out, the acces­sion of three new Member States, followed by a fourth and soon, we hope, two more, and the signing of numerous overall cooperation agreements with the developing countries — in particular the Lomé Con­vention — testify both to the vitality and the power of attraction of the Community.
Formanden. — Hr. minister, jeg er blevet anmodet om at læse formanden for Parlamentet, hr. Dankerts svar op fra originalteksten. Jeg læser hr. Dankerts tekst:
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, this is a consider­able asset and one we should not forget,today, at a time when the Community — despite the frequent attacks by its critics —­ is playing an increasingly important part in our day­to­day lives, to the point where no country could envisage withdrawing without seriously damaging its own position.
Formanden. — Vi fortsætter nu forhandlingen om budgettet. Rådet har ordet.
The Commission believes that this progressive increase in the Parliament's powers should be actively pursued, in particular as regards participation in the decision­making process.
Vi har alle hørt den frygtelige nyhed om det attentat, som har kostet Libanons nye præsident livet, inden han endnu var trådt i funktion.
It is with this in mind that the Com­mission has submitted proposals concerning, on the one hand, the conciliation procedure and, on the other hand, the strengthening of Parliament's role in the preparation and conclusion of international agree­ments and Accession Treaties.
Dette attentat føles som det skæbnesvangre tegn på, at den vold, som i mange år har hærget i Libanon, og som man havde håbet ville ophøre med valget af Libanons præsident, stadig eksisterer. sterer.
I would add that the Commission will be following with the greatest interest the texts issued by the Euro­pean Parliament amplifying the report presented last July by Mr Spinelli.
Vi fordømmer på det kraftigste denne drabshandling. ling.
My second line of thought concerns the parliamentary institution itself.
Otto Møller, formand for Rådet. — Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, jeg tager tråden op fra vor drøftelse i formiddags vedrørende budgetforslaget for 1983.
When the founding fathers of Europe and the negotiators of the ECSC Treaty drew up what was to become the Treaty of Paris they could have contented themselves, as have so many international organizations, with an executive composed exclusively of ι representatives of the signatory States.
Jeg tillader mig i Parlamentet at fremføre det synspunkt, at det vel ikke er nogen egentlig overraskelse, at Parlamentet på flere områder ønsker andre bevillingsstørrelser end de af Rådet foreslåede.
Because Article 20 of the Treaty provided for the creation of an Assembly — the Assembly whose 30th anniversary we are cele­brating today — to be composed of representatives not of the States but of the peoples of the States brought together in the Community and endowed from the very outset with supervisory powers.
Genopbygningen af Libanon og genskabelse af landets enhed og uafhængighed er afgørende for den fred, man uafladelig må søge skabt i det nære Østen. Ingen form for terrorisme må få os til at opgive dette mål.
I cannot deny that the Commission may occasionally find itself placed in a difficult situation, caught as it were, in the crossfire.
Mange af de indlæg, der blev fremført i formiddags, beskæftigede sig med forslaget til ændrings- og
Subject to the control of Parlia­ment on the one hand, it must also clearly take into account the reactions of the Council of Ministers which, under the terms of the Treaties, holds vital leg­islative powers.
I den forbindelse vil jeg gerne fremhæve, at flere elementer indgik i Rådets overvejelser.
I am speaking here on behalf of the Commission.
Afslutningsvis vil jeg gerne fremhæve, at det fortsat er min opfattelse, at der er grundlag for at nå frem til et for alle parter tilfredsstillende 1983-budget.
Mr Ellemann-Jensen, President-in-Office of the Coun­cil. — (DA) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, cooperation within the European Communities this year is marked by a series of major 'birthdays'.
Jeg ser frem til at deltage i drøftelserne med Parlamentet med dette formål før øje. Jeg er overbevist om, at budgetproceduren for 1983budgetforslaget vil blive afsluttet i december måned i overensstemmelse med den foreliggende procedure og med vedtagelse af budgettet.
In March we celebrated the 25th anniversary of the sign­ing of the Treaties of Rome and now we are celebrat­ing the 30th anniversary of the first meeting in the Common Assembly, the Parliamentary Assembly for the European Coal and Steel Community.
