Deus Pinheiro. — (PT) På nogle punkter kan jeg måske nok præcisere en smule, hr. Robles Piquer, navnlig for så vidt angår Indiens holdning, eftersom det var et af de emner, som trojkaen drøftede med de kinesiske myndigheder for halvanden måned siden.
ROBLES PIQUER (PPE). — (ES) I must thank the President-in-Office for his answer, which is certainly a comprehensive one, and I do not wish to take up much more of his time.
Dér blev det klart og utvetydigt oplyst, at Indien ville være rede til at deltage fuldt ud i alle aftaler, på betingelse af at Pakistan og Kina deltog, og at der oprettedes en atomvåbenfri zone i regionen.
I wish simply to ask him whether, in the context of the diplomatic representations made, either the Council or the ambassadors of the Member States in those countries, who contribute to the information which goes to make up European Political Cooperation, have identified in recent weeks any real desire to hold this conference and have considered a location for this, the drawing-up of a timetable of meetings, a preliminary date and an agenda.
Dette ønske var det imidlertid endnu ikke muligt at imødekomme.
If not, we shall remain in the area of good intentions with which, as we know, the road to hell is paved.
Hvilke skridt tager udenrigsministrene i Europæisk Politisk Samarbejde på baggrund af de fortsatte drøftelser om en europæisk forsvarspolitik til at analysere mulighederne for en ikke-nuklear europæisk sikkerhedspolitik og ikke-spredning af atomvåben?
All this should have been put into effect in diplomatic practice, and I should like a little more detail, if the President-in-Office could provide this, on the points I have raised in this supplementary question.
Deus Pinheiro, formand for Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde. — (PT) Hr. McGowan, ifølge en er klæring, fremsat for nylig af Frankrigs repræsentant i arbejdsgruppe II under FN's nedrustningskonference, afspejler Frankrigs beslutning om at standse atomprøvesprængningerne den franske politik på dette område, der har givet sig udtryk i en række initiativer i løbet af de seneste måneder med henblik på ikke-spredning af massive ødelæggelsesvåben, og beslutningen må ses som led i et bredere nedrustningsperspektiv. ningsperspektiv.
In the light of the ongoing discussions regarding European defence policies, which initiatives is the EPC taking to analyse the possibilities of a nonnuclear European security policy and non-proliferation? tion?
Ephremidis (CG). — (GR) Rådsformandens svar er interessante og troværdige, men jeg vil gerne stille et spørgsmål i forbindelse med, hvad han sagde, nemlig at disse forhandlinger drøftes af trojkaen.
DEUS PINHEIRO. — (PT) To some of them, perhaps; particularly with regard to the Indian position, as it was one of the topics which the Community Troika discussed with the Chinese authorities about one-and-a-half months ago.
Fra juni vil det britiske formandskab være leder af trojkaen og skal stå for disse forhandlinger med det — uden tvivl oprigtige — formål at nå frem til et positivt resultat.
It was stated very clearly at that time that India was prepared to participate fully in all the treaties provided Pakistan and China also participated and provided there
Deus Pinheiro. — (PT) Jeg kan meddele det ærede medlem, at Det Forenede Kongerige deltog i den foregående trojka, der bestod af Portugal, Det For enede Kongerige og Nederlandene.
DEUS PINHEIRO, President-in-Office of European Political Cooperation. — (PT) As the French representative in Working Group II of the United Nations Conference
Deus Pinheiro analysere mulige verifikationsforanstaltninger på et videnskabeligt og teknisk grundlag. Jeg skal under strege, at de første resultater af dette møde blev betragtet som opmuntrende.
DEUS PINHEIRO on Disarmament stated, the decision to suspend nuclear testing reflects French policy in this area which follows a series of initiatives taken in recent months to prevent the spread of arms of mass destruction, and should be seen within the wider context of current efforts in the field of disarmament.
McGowan (S). — (EN) Jeg vil gerne takke rådsformanden for hans svar og for det meget positive arbejde, han har været med i under det portugisiske formandskab.
McGOWAN (S). — I would like to thank the President-in-Office for his answer and for the very positive work he has been involved in during the Portuguese Presidency.
Jeg vil gerne sige til ham, at i betragtning af betydningen, det uopsættelige og den særlige mulighed, det franske initiativ har åbnet for, er der så, foruden den fremgang som han synes at være ret optimistisk om, nogen forpligtelser, han kan skitsere, lidt i retning af det hr. Robles Piquer spurgte om, med hensyn til nogen datoer, tidspunkter, steder og tidsplaner for muligheder i de tilbageværende uger af det portugisiske formandskab? Det er en stor skam ikke at bygge videre på den franske regerings initiativ.
I should like to put it to him that in view of the importance, the urgency and the special opportunity that the French initiative has made possible, besides progress that he seems fairly optimistic about, is there any commitment that he could outline, rather as my colleague, Mr Robles Piquer asked, of any dates, times, places and agendas of opportunity during the remaining weeks of the Portuguese Presidency?
For så vidt angår den sidste del af det ærede medlems spørgsmål, vil jeg gerne erindre om, at Fællesskabet og dets medlemsstater med erklæringen om ikke-spredning af kernevåben og våbeneksport, vedtaget af Det Europæiske Råd i Luxembourg i juni 1991, bekræftede sin resolutte støtte til styrkelsen af aftalen om ikke-spredning af kernevåben og til Den Internationale Atomenergiorganisations nu kleare sikkerhedsbestemmelser.
As they recently stated at the United Nations Conference on Disarmament, the Twelve regard nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation of nuclear weapons as one of the most serious challenges facing the international com munity, particularly after the break-up of the Soviet Union. The Twelve also expressed satisfaction at the progress made in this field in the last year, particularly the START Treaty and the subsequent initiatives by President Bush and President Yeltsin.
I den forbindelse foreslog de i september 1991 Den Internationale Atomenergiorganisations bestyrelse at vedtage en første samling foranstaltninger.
They also welcomed the recent progress made by the United States and Russia in further reducing their nuclear arsenals and encouraged their efforts in this area.
Fællesskabet og dets medlemsstater noterer med tilfredshed, at der skete et vist fremskridt på bestyrelsens seneste møde, og de udtrykker håb om, at generaldirektørens bestræ belser i denne retning støttes af samtlige stater.
They also welcomed in particular the unilateral decisions taken by the United States and former Soviet Union to eliminate all land-based nuclear weapons in the short term and expressed the hope that these measures will be implemented under the best possible conditions where safety and transparency are concerned.
I forbindelse med FN's nedrustningskonference i 1992 opfordrede de gentagne gange de stater, der endnu ikke har tiltrådt aftalen om ikke-spredning af kerne våben, til at gøre det.
As regards nuclear testing and in the light of the recent initiatives in this area, particularly the one referred to by the honourable Member, The Twelve believe that the matter should continue to be dealt with.
Deus Pinheiro. — (PT) Hr. McGowan, jeg må endnu en gang bekræfte min fulde tillid til, at de efterfølgende formandskaber vil være i stand til på bedste vis at varetage denne såvel som andre sager.
DEUS PINHEIRO. — (PT) I should like to reaffirm my total confidence in subsequent presidencies where this and other dossiers are concerned.
Lad mig også sige, at det er min faste overbevisning, at et af de fælles aktionsområder efter 1. januar 1993 vil være nedrustning og våbenkontrol.
I am convinced that one of the areas for joint action by the Community after 1993 will undoubtedly be disarmament and arms control.
Dette spørgsmål vil indgå som led i en fællesskabsaktion, der principielt kan iværksættes på Rådets initiativ og forpligte medlemsstaterne til at gå i samme politiske retning.
It could, we hope, form part of the joint action to be decided, in principle, at Council level and which would commit all the Member States to a common political position.
Efter hvad jeg har erfaret i min tid som rådsformand, kan jeg forsikre Dem om, at de ret ningslinjer, jeg netop har omtalt, efter den 1. januar ganske givet vil få mere bindende karakter for De Tolv og for Fællesskabet.
On the basis of my experience in the Council, I can guarantee that the policies to which I have just referred as being the policies of the Twelve, will, from 1 January be much more binding and be those of the Twelve and of the Community.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 26 af Cushnahan vil ikke blive behandlet, da det allerede er opført på denne uges dagsorden.
PRESIDENT. — Question No 26, from Mr Cushnahan falls because the subject is already included in this week's agenda.

Spørgsmål nr. 28 af Alavanos (H-0450/92):
Question No 28 by Mr Alavanos (H-0450/92)
Om: EF-formandskabets forhandlinger med »Republikken Skopje«
Subject: The Presidency's talks with the 'Republic of Skopje'
Vedrørende kemiske våben har Fællesskabet og dets medlemsstater for nylig på ny understreget, at de tillægger det stor betydning, at der senest ved midten af 1992 vedtages en konvention om kemiske våben omfattende en tilfredsstillende verifikationsordning.
In answer to the last part of the honourable Member's question, I should like to point out that, in their declaration on nonproliferation of nuclear arms and arms export made in Luxembourg in June 1991, the Community and its Member States expressed their firm support for the strengthening of the nonproliferation treaty and for the system of safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
De Tolv udtrykte derfor håb om, at de multilaterale aftaler inden for rammerne af Genéve-nedrustnings-konferencen ville resultere i vedtagelse af konventionen om kemiske våben.
They note with satisfaction that some progress was made at the recent meeting of the Board of Governors and they express the hope that all states will support the efforts of the Secretary-General in this regard.
De understregede desuden, at de ville være blandt de første til at undertegne en sådan konvention, og de opfordrede andre stater til at gøre det samme.
At the 1992 Session of the United Nations Conference on Disarmament, they repeatedly called on all states which had not signed the nonproliferation to do so.
Rådet fastlagde på sin samling den 16. december 1991 tre betingelser for anerkendelsen af »Republikken Skopje«.
At its meeting of 16 December 1991, the Council laid down three conditions for recognition of the 'Republic of Skopje'.
EF's formandskab har inden for rammerne af dette mandat optaget indledende kontakter med den omtalte republiks ledelse for at afdække dens hensigter.
Within this prescribed framework the Community Presidency entered into exploratory talks with the leadership of the 'Republic', in order to sound out their intentions.
Kan EPS oplyse resultaterne af disse forhandlinger?
Can the Foreign Ministers meeting in European Political Cooperation inform us of the outcome of these negotiations?
Mener det, at de tre betingelser, som Rådet fastlagde, er blevet opfyldt?
Do they think the Council's three conditions have been met?
Deus Pinheiro, formand for Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde. — (PT) Hr. Alavanos, det glæder mig
DEUS PINHEIRO, President-in-Office of European Political Cooperation. — (PT) It gives me great pleasure to answer Mr Alavanos' question, particularly in view of the total silence I had to observe during the period when
I forbindelse med Den Tredje Konference om Revision af Konventionen om Biologiske og Kemiske Våben understregede Fællesskabet og dets medlemsstater nødvendigheden af, at konventionens autoritet og effektivitet styrkes, idet bestræbelserne skal orienteres mod de tre vigtigste områder, hvor konventionen har vist sig mangelfuld, nemlig universalitet, tillidskabende foranstaltninger og verifikation.
With regard to chemical weapons, the Community and its Member States recently reiterated the major importance they attach to the conclusion this year of a an overall and wide-ranging convention on chemical weapons, including a satisfactory system of verification, and that it should be in place by the middle of 1992.

meget at kunne svare Dem, bl.a. fordi jeg i den periode, hvor det portugisiske formandskab var involveret i mæglingsbestræbelserne med henblik på at nå frem til en for alle parter tilfredsstillende løsning, havde total tavshedspligt.
important whether there were eleven Member States on one side and one on the other, or whether it was ten or twelve since in formal terms it was the Twelve who decided.
Deus Pinheiro. — (PT) Hr. Alavanos, jeg begynder med det andet spørgsmål.
This has always been the case in the Commun­ity.
Fællesskabets holdning er som bekendt De Tolv's holdning og kan derfor kun komme til udtryk, når der er enstemmighed.
This and nothing else is the position of the Commun­ity.
Det er således naturligt, at der i visse spørgsmål kan fast lægges en fælles holdning, medens dette i andre tilfælde ikke kan lade sig gøre.
Therefore any claim or suggestion that there were eleven Member States in favour and one against a particular position is completely misleading.
Det er sjældent, at der hersker enighed mellem De Tolv fra begyndelsen.
There were twelve Member States in favour of the position adopted at Guimarães.
Det vigtigste er, at de kan nå frem til at fastlægge en fælles holdning som resultat af drøftelserne, og i det omhandlede tilfælde er De Tolv's og Fællesskabets formelle og objektive fælles holdning den, der fremgår af erklæringen fra det uformelle møde i Guimarães.
Secondly, for better or for worse, the only initiative the presidency can take is to seek to use its imagination to the full to try to find formulae which can be regarded as meeting the minimum demands of the parties involved.
En hvilken som helst anden version, fremkommet i pressen eller i politiske erklæringer, gør ikke det omtalte princip ugyldigt.
We have tried to do this discretely and we shall continue to do so, despite the fact that there is very little hope of success.
Sådan har det altid været i hele Fællesskabets historie.
I want to stress that, although this is a difficult question it should not divide the Community.
Der var tolv medlemsstater, der gik ind for den holdning, der blev fastlagt i Guimarães.
What counts is the final position which is what is binding.
Det portugisiske formandskabs arbejde var orienteret imod at tage højde for nogle af de betænkeligheder, som navnlig en af medlemsstaterne havde givet udtryk for.
The work of the Portuguese Presidency was aimed at satisfying certain of the concerns expressed by one Member State in particular.
Taget under ét gik bestræbelserne i retning af at få udarbejdet et udkast til en aftale, der stadfæstede respekten for grænsernes integritet og ukrænkelighed, herunder parternes erklæring om ikke at gøre krav på nogen som helst minoritet i en anden stat, desuden en bestemmelse, hvorved den tidligere jugoslaviske republik Makedonien forpligtede sig til at ændre nogle artikler i forfatningen, en erklæring fra De Tolv gående ud på etablering af en dialog, politisk og økonomisk samarbejde med den nye republik på forskellige områder og endelige parternes fastlæggelse af et navn, der var acceptabelt for begge parter.
Together they formed a draft treaty which enshrined total respect for the integrity and inviolability of frontiers and which consisted of an exchange of letters in which the signatories waived or reaffirmed the omission of any reference to any non­national minority in another state and which included a provision whereby the government of the former Yugos­lav Republic of Macedonia undertook to amend certain articles of the constitution, a declaration by the Twelve on dialogue and political and active economic cooper­ation in different areas and, finally, the acceptance by all parties of a mutually acceptable name.
Forhandlingerne om denne pakke havde relativ succes, for så vidt som, da det drejer sig om en pakke, problemet ikke er løst, førend der er opnået enighed om alt.
The negotiation of this package was relatively successful in the sense that being a package, nothing was agreed unless everything was agreed.
Jeg havde relativ succes med mit forehavende, og jeg blev godt modtaget af parterne, men det var ikke muligt at nå til enighed om det sidstomtalte spørgsmål.
It was, I say, relatively successful and was well received by all sides, although it was not possible to arrive at an agreement on the last question I referred to.
På det område begrænsede det portugisiske formandskab sig til at fremsætte hypotetiske forslag til en løsning uden nogensinde at driste sig til at fremsætte konkrete forslag vedrørende republikkens navn.
The Portuguese Presidency, as mediator, therefore con­fined itself simply to indicating possible solutions and at no time did it take it upon itself to put forward concrete proposals.
Efter dette tidspunkt blev Fællesskabets standpunkter offentlig gjort, mere præcist på det uformelle møde i Guimarães, og er derfor kendte.
From that time on the views of the Commun­ity, particularly during the Guimarães meeting, were made public and are therefore known.
En af medlemsstaterne stiller et vist antal betingelser, som den fortolker på en bestemt måde, som de øvrige medlemsstater, i hvert fald indtil nu, har udvist solidaritet med, og derfor har Fællesskabet kunnet fastlægge en fælles holdning.
One Member State claims that there are a certain number of conditions which it interprets in a certain way and which until now at least merited the support of the other Member States so that there is one and only one Community position.
Desværre kan jeg ikke fortælle Dem mere om dette emne, hr. Alavanos.
I regret, Mr Alavanos, that is all I can say on the matter.
For det andet har formandskabet desværre — eller heldigvis — ikke kompetence til at tage andre initia tiver end at bryde hjernen med at forsøge at finde frem til et kompromisforslag, der har blot en minimal chance for at blive anset for tilfredsstillende af de berørte parter.
I want here and now to repeat what the Council has already stated: although we stress political dialogue and the flexibility of our positions, we succeed in moving on to practical action.
Det har vi forsøgt at efterleve så diskret som muligt, og vi vil fortsætte bestræbelserne i denne retning, uanset at chancen for, at udfaldet bliver positivt, er minimal.
Therefore, in my view, and say this with conviction, the stability of the Balkans essentially depends on Greece and on good relations between Greece and the former Yugoslav republic of Macedonia.
Men så længe parterne ønsker det, vil vi fortsætte bestræbelserne.
I should like to put two further questions in this connec­tion.
Og for så vidt angår disse bestræbelser eller eventuelt nye bestræbelser, har vi naturligvis tavshedspligt, indtil de er afsluttet.
Is there any indication that the government in Skopje would be prepared to delete at least that element of its constitution?
Jeg vil gerne understrege, at der er tale om et yderst vanskeligt spørgsmål, der imidlertid ikke bør skabe splittelse i Fællesskabet.
Second: the papers have reported that a new mission under 'the former French minister, Mr Badinter, who did very good work in Bosnia, is being set up for the other republics.
Jeg vil gerne her på ny gentage, hvad Rådet tidligere har sagt: Det er af afgørende betydning, at Fælles skabet ud over at hævde den politiske dialog og fleksible holdninger, kan konkretisere disse i praksis.
DEUS PINHEIRO. — (PT) Mr Hapsburg, on the ques­tion of the constitution of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, in its efforts at mediation, the presidency made or included in the package proposals for changes in the constitution.
For efter min mening afhænger stabiliteten i Balkan området hovedsagelig af Grækenland og af et godt forhold mellem Grækenland og den tidligere jugoslaviske republik Makedonien.
However, as I stated earlier, nothing can be considered as accepted until the whole package is accepted.
Mine tillægsspørgsmål lyder således: Vil det portugisiske formandskab efter det sidste møde mellem udenrigsministrene i mandags, hvor man konstaterede en vis stagnation, tage nye initiativer i den tid, der er tilbage af dets formandsperiode, og i givet fald hvilke?
As everyone knows, the Community's positions only become the position of the Twelve and are expressed as such when there is unanim­ity. It is therefore natural, as I already pointed out, that on certain issues no Community position should exist, while on others,where it has been possible to reach a consensus, there should be a Community position.
For det andet talte han om et medlems land, som uden tvivl er Grækenland.
A consensus is usually only reached after much debate and discussion.
Er der ingen andre medlemslande inden for Rådet af De Tolv, som har tilsluttet sig Grækenlands krav og er enige heri?
It only rarely happens that the Twelve are in agreement at the outset. What is important is that they seek to reach a common position at the end of the debates.
Eller er der tale om et enkelt land over for elleve, som blot udviser tålmodighed med hensyn til dette krav.
Therefore, in formal and objective terms, the position of the Twelve and of the Community is what is set out in the declaration of the Guimarães informal meeting.
Spørgsmålet om navnet, som Grækenland så heftigt protesterer imod, er i forhold til det principielle i forfatningen kun af sekundær betydning. Er der tegn på, at regeringen i Skopje er parat til i det mindste at slette den del i sin forfatning?
The Commission will see to this in its contacts with the European Investment Bank, but it has also to point out that, after being ratified by the House, the financial protocol was subsequently ratified by the Council and, therefore, entered into force.
pr. definition kræver enstemmighed i Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde.
The Commission is also following closely developments in Algeria.
Derfor giver det ingen mening at spørge, om en resolution eller en hold ning, sådan som den kommer til udtryk i en erklæring fra Det Europæiske Politiske Samabejde, er udtryk for en to-imod-ti eller syv-imod-fem eller nogen som helst anden holdning i den retning, idet holdningen er udtryk for enstemmighed mellem De Tolv. Jeg formoder, at det ærede medlem egentlig ville spørge, om alle medlemsstaterne fortolkede eventuelt tvetydige udtryk på samme måde. Men dette spørgsmål må rettes til de enkelte medlemsstater, hr. Ephremidis.
It hopes that all forces present in Algeria will adopt the path of moderation and that the reform process in regard to democracy and human rights will be able to be resumed as soon as possible. The Commission will be vigilant here with a view to the implementation of the fourth financial protocol, which needs, however, to be applied rapidly to help Algeria recover from economic stagnation.
For det andet: I aviserne har man nu kunnet læse, at en ny mission med den tidligere franske minister Badinter, der jo har gjort et meget godt stykke arbejde i Bosnien, igen skal indledes til de andre republikker.
ARBELOA MURU (S). — (ES) Thank you, Commission er, for your general answer as well as for the two specific examples you have just given.
Kan De fortælle os noget om det?
My special thanks to you for that.
Er en sådan Badinter-mission taget under overvejelse?
I wish merely to comment that I hope we shall be vigilant at all times and in all places, from Morocco to Syria, including both.
Formanden. — Da spørgeren ikke er til stede, vil spørgsmål nr. 43 blive besvaret skriftligt. ')
VAN MIERT. — Yes, of course, I agree with that principle and the Commission knows what Parliament feels and tries to take this factor into account as much as possible.
