Hr. Crampton, der er en intelligent og seriøs person, forekommer mig at blande to forslag sammen.
the former Eastern bloc are based on an illusion.
På den ene side tror han, som vi alle gør, at verden sandsynligvis ville være et bedre sted, hvis der ikke fandtes atomvåben.
Such a situation cannot be endured for long, and the Community must make serious efforts to prevent an outright rejection of agreements of this kind, something which would benefit no one.
Men så drager han tilsyneladende også den modsatte slutning, at hvis der ikke fandtes atomvåben, ville verden automatisk blive et bedre sted.
The restructuring of the sectors refened to is an approach which must be considered, since it is the only possible longterm means of ensuring the genuine development of the newly independent states, and it is the direction in which the Community's efforts must channelled.
B3-400/93 af Antony m.fl. for De Europæiske Højrepartiers Tekniske Gruppe om situationen i det tidligere Sovjetunionen;
They will also serve to develop the political and economic links between the European Community and these new States.
På grand af det fremskredne tidspunkt foreslår jeg i forbindelse med forhandlingen om situationen i det tidligere Sovjetunionen, at taletiden begrænses til et minut til hver af de fem forslagsstillere.
I nevertheless remain optimistic that we will over come these reservations and will be able to negotiate with our partners appropriate means for a specific response to our mutual aspirations.
Jeg er bange for, at hele den seneste udvikling viser det modsatte.
Talks with other countries will be starting in the next few months.
Det er helt rigtigt, hvad hr. Poettering sagde, nemlig at der ikke længere eksisterer nogen atomvåbentrussel fra Sovjetunionen. Ikke overraskende, eftersom Sovjetunionen ikke længere eksisterer!
I wish to thank Mr Martin for his excellent report.
Men der findes en fare for spredning, der udgår fra det tidligere Sovjetunionen.
It goes without saying that the Commission intends to keep Parliament fully informed of the progress in the cunent negotiations.
Det er årsagen til, at mange tusinder — for ikke at sige millioner — liv ikke gik tabt, hvilket kunne have været konsekvensen af Golfkrigen.
PRESIDENT. — The next item is the debate on the statement by the Commission on the European Economic Area.
BERTENS (LDR). — (NL) Hr. formand, den krise, som Den Russiske Føderation for øjeblikket befinder sig i, er en reel trussel mod bestræbelserne på at gennemføre et virkeligt demokrati.
As regards trade, the Community has proposed that the agreements should grant the two parties most favoured nation treatment.
Den elendige økonomiske situation giver næring til bevægelser, der ønsker at standse reform processen eller ligefrem vende tilbage til det gamle system.
Parliament's resolution proposes that the Commission should consider establishing a free trade area with the new independent States.
Den nylig indgåede alliance mellem tilhængere af det gamle kommunistiske styre og ekstreme russiske nationalister kan kun give grund til bekymring.
Such an area was, however, not suggested in the negotiating mandate given by the Council and was therefore not proposed by the Commission either.
Før verden faktisk bliver et bedre sted, må de af os, der ønsker at bevare freden, have midlerne til at gøre dette. De britiske og franske afskrækkelsesvåben er en vigtig komponent i Europas forsvar.
The slow pace of economic reform in the new independent States makes it very difficult to predict the time when a free trade area encompassing the Community and the new independent States could become a reality.
Det er ikke nok at overlade det til amerikanerne. Så længe vi har behov for disse styrker, må de, er jeg bange for, blive testet — og afskyet!
The Russians themselves, in the recent negotiations, stressed that they saw a free trade area only as a longterm objective.
Reformprocessen i Rusland er endnu meget sårbar, og jeg behøver ikke at fremhæve, hvor stor en interesse også Fællesskabet har i, at denne proces lykkes.
STEICHEN, Member of the Commission. — (FR) Mr President, the Commission is delighted to announce to Parliament that the problems arising for the European economic area from the rejection in the Swiss referendum have now been resolved.
Fællesskabet og medlemsstaterne bør derfor nå til enighed om en virkelig fælles politik for forbindelserne med Den Russiske Føderation.
The negotiators from the Com munity and the other member countries of EFTA initialled, on 26 February, a protocol amending the agree ment on the European economic area.
Det ville ikke være nogen overdreven luksus, hvis man udviste noget mere fantasi og generositet over for de demokratiske kræfter i Rusland.
It is not realistic to expect the cunent agreements to establish a real basis for a free trade area, even though they are designed to evolve in line with the progress of economic reform in the newly independent States.
MORRIS (S). — (EN) Hr. formand, mit indlæg til forretningsordenen går på, at det ærede medlem på min venstre side — det er en underlig plads for ham — har overset en ting.
The exclusion from the scope of the agreement of certain products, such as textiles, coal and steel, and nuclear products, is justified by the sensitive nature of these products for the Community.
Konflikten mellem præsident Jeltsin og det flertal, der repræsenterer det gamle Sovjetunionen, kan risikere at sende landet ud i en permanent ustabil situation.
The compromise reached after difficult negotiations was that the other EFTA countries would take over shares of the Swiss contribution initially provided for.
Endvidere har der ikke fundet en normalisering sted på det privatretlige område med henblik på at give erhvervslivet mulighed for at handle rationelt og sætte gang i produktionen. Hvilket har medført, at landet som følge af manglen på såvel en sovjetisk planøkonomi i den gamle stil som på en ny liberal økonomisk orden er ved at gå økonomisk til grande.
This result was obtained without any change being necessary in the amounts of the loans and payments, respectively ECU 1 500 million and ECU 500 million, over the five year period, but by lowering the interest rate on the loans from 3% to 2%.
VAN DEN BROEK, medlem af Kommisssionen. — (NL) Hr. formand, ikkespredning af atomvåben er et af de områder, hvor Fællesskabet efter ikrafttræden af Den Europæiske Union også håber at få et reelt fælles handlingsområde inden for den fælles udenrigs- og sikker hedspolitik.
The agreements are intended to promote the creation and operation of business undertakings and will seek to liberalize services and capital flows.
For indeværende vil jeg begrænse mig til at sige, at Kommissionen og Det Politiske Samarbejde anser det for yderst vigtigt at fortsætte kampen mod spredning af atomvåben og andre masseødelæggelsesvåben og af avanceret missilteknologi, da vi er udsat for meget alvorlige trusler på disse områder.
They will also try to improve working conditions by banning all discrimination against workers from one of the parties legitimately employed on the territory of the other party.
Vi ønsker også, at man fortsætter bestræbelserne på at få gennemført et forbud mod atomvåbenforsøg.
The Commission's views concur on this point with those expressed in the resolution regarding the need for guarantees for the newly independent States and access to the European Investment Bank.
FORMANDEN. — Forhandlingen under ét er afsluttet.
However, we have still not been able to persuade the Council or the EIB to agree with us on this.
Af alle disse årsager kan Fællesskabet ikke forholde sig neutralt i den nuværende situation. Det bør intervenere såvel i form af juridisk som økonomisk og finansiel støtte.
Apart from this positive result of the Cohesion Fund for our Member States, it was also agreed to apply the agricultural concessions which they enjoy in the context of the European economic area as soon as the agreement comes into force.
Afstemningen finder sted i dag kl. 12.30.
The bilateral agricultural agreements
ROBLES PIQUER (PPE). — (ES) Hr. formand, på grund af det fremskredne tidspunkt vil jeg skynde mig at sige, at Parlamentet kun kan gøre to ting i denne sag.
STEICHEN under which these concessions are provided for will for this reason be applied on a provisional basis as soon as possible, in fact with effect from 15 April 1993.
NEWENS (S). — (EN) Hr. formand, et af de problemer der ikke er nævnt i det foreliggende forslag til beslutning, men som var medtaget i et af de oprindelige forslag, er den katastrofale situation for befolkningen i Armenien og Nagorno-Karabakh, der er ofre for en grusom omringning fra Adserbajdsjan.
DE CLERCQ (LDR). — (NL) Mr President, Commissioner, we are genuinely delighted with the agreement which has quickly been reached on the adaptation of the treaty on the European Economic Area following Switzerland's rejection of membership through its referen dum.
Det er en forfærdelig tragedie for både armenierne og for befolkningen i Adserbajdsjan, som nu er involveret i en grusom krig.
We are especially pleased that it will be possible to retain the Cohesion Fund by compensating for the loss of the Swiss contribution.
Det er af allerstørste betydning, at Europa-Parlamentet ikke for holder sig tavs om dette problem, men opfordrer til våbenstilstand, tilbagetrækning af styrkerne fra ildlinjerne, indstilling af våbenleverancer til området og hurtig fremsendelse af nødhjælp.
This will avoid a good many problems within the European Community, and also demonstrate a willingness to develop broader solidarity, both inside and outside the Community.
Det er anden måned i træk, at de beslutninger, som jeg har indgivet om dette problem, er blevet skubbet ud, og vi må sørge for, at vi vender tilbage til emnet i næste måned.
In addition to this change to the financial mechanism, the protocol also contains the following elements.
Jeg anmoder medlemmerne om at hjælpe med til, at dette sker.
First, all references to Switzerland in the EEA agreement are removed.
Kommissionen lægger vægt på em god koordinering af bistanden til SNG-landene.
Switzerland will be authorized to accede to the European economic area at a later date if it so wishes.
Koordineringen kan forbedres gennem forhandlinger om gennemførelse af såkaldte partnership- og samarbejdsaftaler med de fleste af disse lande, og forhandlinger er allerede indledt med Rusland, Ukraine, Hviderusland og Kasakhstan.
The extension of the EEA agreement to Liechtenstein is subject to the condition that the other contracting parties agree that the relations between Liechtenstein and Switzerland are compatible with the proper operation of the European economic area.
COIMBRA MARTINS (S). — (PT) Hr. formand, i dag afsluttes mødet i den såkaldte Folkekongres i Moskva.
Furthermore, several provisions of the EEA agreement are amended to take account of the postponement of the date of entry into force in a number of related areas, such as research and develop ment, and education.
Jeltsin er blevet spurgt, hvordan Kongressen vil ende, og præsidenten svarede, at det eneste sikre, og ikke engang det var helt sikkert, var, at den ville ende med national hymnen.
Provisions will come into force on 1 January 1994, in other words at the start of a financial year.
Det har vi talt om tidligere i dag, og hvad angår spørgsmålet om omstilling af våbenproduktionen til civil pro duktion, kan Kommissionen oplyse, at sådanne omstillingsprogrammner har høj prioritering inden for rammer ne af den tekniske bistand.
This is still an important agreement, ladies and gentlemen, which provides a sound basis for the ever closer economic and political relations between the Community and the EFTA countries and which will give a boost to the economies of this part of Europe.
Efter min mening er der tre løsningsmuligheder i forbindelse med den politiske konflikt:
Despite the negotiations with three — and soon four -EFTA countries on membership of the Community, the treaty remains of paramount importance in the build-up to accession.
Desuden har Fællesskabet ydet et samlet beløb på 500 mio ecu til humanitær bistand og nødhjælp.
That means a good deal more than being notified and informed; it means ensuring that we are not presented with faits accomplis and that we confirm our involvement from the start.
Derudover må vi se på, hvorledes vi på kort sigt bedre kan hjælpe Rusland — og der er indledt et internationalt samråd desangående — for at støtte præsident Jeltsins reformplaner, politisk og økonomisk.
We should like to ask the Commission how it sees the future of the European Economic Area after three or four of the EFTA countries have joined the Community, and whether it thinks that the experienced gained from the EEA can be used in our relations with Eastern Europe.
CRAMON DAIBER (V). — (DE) Hr. formand, jeg synes ikke, det er god »management« fra Præsidiets side, når man på den ene side ikke sørger for, at taletiden overholdes, og på den anden side slet ikke giver medlemmer mulighed for at tale, skønt de er skrevet på talerlisten.
JEPSEN (PPE). — (DA) Mr President, I gives me great pleasure, as spokesman for the Committee on Foreign Affairs and Security, to say thank you here today to the Commission for the efforts it has made to establish a new agreement as quickly as possible following Switzerland's referendum decision not to sign the EEA agreement.
Glædeligt nok kommer der nogle gode nyheder fra udlandet; Japan giver efter tilskyndelse fra forbundskansler Kohl 15 mio dollars til forbedring af sikkerheden i nukleare anlæg i SNG.
We are glad that the contribution which Switzerland will, of course, not now be making will largely be taken over by the remaining EFTA countries. I believe this shows that there has been a great deal of flexibility on both sides, from the EFTA countries and from the Community.
Som en anden Kassandra spår han, at såfremt forbindelserne mellem Moskva og Tiflis ikke normaliseres, vil Kaukasus eksplodere, og dermed vil den Russiske Føderation falde fra hinanden.
This means that we will invite the various draftsmen from the relevant committees which wish to submit opinions and in this way we will try to coordinate matters.
Jeg vil geme komme med en kort bemærkning til kom promisforslaget.
We could submit the matter here to the House no later than the partsession in June.
I punkt 3 kræves en udenrigs- og sikerhedspolitik over for Den Russiske Føderation.
However, I also feel that, unless problems crop up in between, we will be in a position to submit it at the partsession in May.
Jeg mener, at »sikkerhedspolitik« burde udgå på baggrund af den debat, der finder sted i Rusland for øjeblikket, ikke mindst med henblik på de konservative militærpersoner. Vi vil anmode om særskilt afstemning om dette punkt.
LANE (RDE). — Mr President, I very much welcome the Commission statement on the EEA, and in particular, the compromise that has now been reached that will allow the funds that were the responsibility of the Swiss to be taken over by the other Member States.
Det er godt, at en delegation fra Europa-Parlamentet nu rejser til Kaukasus.
Have some of the EFTA countries got bilateral agreements with eastern European countries?
I mellemtiden må vi efter min mening afsende et politisk signal — og ikke blot politisk — der kan hjælpe på moralen og støtte reformerne i Rusland, et signal, der viser, at vi folkevalgte medlemmer af Europa-Parlamentet har forståelse for reformpolitikken.
Under those bilateral agreements will we see certain manufacturers being attracted to eastern Europe, using cheap labour there and then getting their products in through the back door of the EEA agreement into our own Community here?
KOSTOPOULOS (NI). — (GR) Hr. formand, jeg har forståelse for, at De ikke har givet os ordet, skønt jeg personligt er uenig med Dem, fordi De kun gav ordet til de store grupper.
At any event, the European Parliament will not be the one to delay the proceedings arid as such we believe that we must press on with this matter as soon as possible.
Præsidiet tilladelse til at medtage vort indlæg i protokol len. Dette mener jeg ikke, De kan nægte os.
The EFTA countries, who are now part of this agreement, have a free for all in agriculture — very highly protected and very highly priced.
Jeg vil derfor bede Dem give besked om, at vi afleverer det skriftlige manuskript til vort indlæg, så det kommer i protokollen. Er dette blevet tolket korrekt?
Are they going to use the next few years in order to build up production so that when they become full members of the European Community, as we all hope they will, they will then be allowed their level of production in 1996, 1997 or 1998 as the base production quota for various products in the years ahead?
FORMANDEN. — Hr. Kostopoulos, det ville være noget helt nyt, om en bemærkning til forretningsordenen, der svarer til et indlæg om den indholdsmæssige side af sagen, blev ført til protokols.
Is this part of the offer you are going to make to those EFTA countries, that they will be allowed to produce milk when we are being forced out of milk?
Under alle omstændigheder er tiden knap, og vi påbegyndte denne forhandling med forsinkelse.
I think Mr Steichen should make a statement on that now.
Denne økonomiske krise er karakteriseret ved alvorlig nedgang i produktion, investeringer og realløn, fortsat tendens til hyperinflation, sammenbrud i samhandel og betalinger mellem de forskellige stater og stigende belastning af miljøet, især på grand af atomenergiproduktionen.
I am chiefly concerned with the problem of Liechtenstein because the economic weight or the political presence of Liechtenstein is important enough to unbalance any relations between the two groups.
Forhandlingen under ét er afsluttet.
Those agreements were incorporated into the general agreement.
Afstemningen finder sted i dag kl. 12.30.
Will they remain valid in future?
FORMANDEN. — Næste punkt på dagsordenen er forhandling under ét om følgende forslag til beslutning:
This clause is a very important issue, particularly for my own country, Greece, and I should like to know precisely what is to become of it.
Dette betyder, at Parlamentet til sin tid på grundlag af artikel 113 og 235 vil blive anmodet om at afgive udtalelse om tolv separate aftaler, dvs. med de 10 SNG-stater plus Georgien og Aserbajdsjan. jan.
MAHER (LDR). — Mr President, like others I am pleased that this problem has been resolved for the time being.
Jeg henleder de ærede medlemmers og navnlig gruppe formændenes opmærksomhed på, at vi ikke har tid til at føre forhandlingen om katastrofer.
It is a transition towards full membership. In that context could I ask the Commission how long it anticipates the transition will last.
Derfor kan jeg kun sætte de to forslag til beslutning om dette emne under afstemning uden forhandling i tilfælde af enstemmighed fra gruppeformændenes side i henhold til artikel 64.
What will be the main trade benefits to the European Community from this present agreement,given that the cohesion problem has been resolved?
Formålet med min betænkning er derfor at anlægge et generelt syn på forhandlingerne.
Could I ask also if relations between the European Community and Switzerland will change now as a result.
Rådet har orienteret os om hovedindholdet af det forhandlingsmandat, det har givet Kommissionen, og vi har lyttet til Kommissionens repræsentanter, der i vid udstrækning har behandlet første forhandlingsrunde, der angik Rusland.
I have a feeling that sometimes countries which rejected the European Community get on even better than if they had entered into association with it.
Derfor spørger jeg gruppeformændene eller deres repræ sentanter, om de har noget imod, at forhandlingen af katastroferne udgår, og at vi straks går over til afstemningen. gen.
GERAGHTY (NI). — Mr President, I was pleased to hear the statement from the Commissioner saying that they had ironed out the difficulties arising from the Swiss rejection of the EEA agreement, in particular, in relation to the Cohesion Fund, which I believe is a very satisfactory outcome to those discussions.
FORMANDEN. — Forhandlingen om aktuelle og uopsættelige spørgsmål af væsentlig betydning er afsluttet.
It was reported in some of the papers this week that unless the Maastricht accord has been ratified by Denmark and the UK, the Spanish government may not now ratify the EEA agree ment.
Vi er derfor i stand til at drage visse konklusioner.
I would be very interested in hearing the Commissioner's comment on that.
Vi må for det første notere, at de aftaler, der er under forhandling, langtfra vil opfylde Parlamentets krav.
I am not sure whether this is speculation in the media, but I would be very interested to know if the Commission have heard if that is the situation.
Parlamentet havde anmodet om oprettelse af et frihandelsområde, navnlig for at undgå et sammenbrud af handelen mellem SNG-republikkerne og mellem republikkerne og de andre central- og østeuropæiske stater. Dette vil nu formodentlig ikke ske.
The EEA agreement in my opinion is an integral part of the longer-term process of expanding this Community and incorporating the EFTA countries fully in membership of our Community.
Handelsforbindelserne med Cen tral- og Østeuropa vil derfor med tiden blive splittet op, eftersom EF vil få frihandel med Polen, Ungarn, Den Tjekkiske Republik, Den Slovakiske Republik, Bulgarien og Rumænien, mens samhandelen mellem de tidlige re sovjetrepublikker og EF vil foregå på grundlag af den generelle mestbegunstigelsesklausul.
We should not take it as a foregone conclusion, no matter what agreement is ratified, that the citizens of those countries would all be that anxious to join the Community in its present state.
Vi går nu over til afstemning ('). (Mødet udsat kl. 13.05 og genoptaget kl. 15.00)
I am on the Swedish Delegation which was recently in Sweden and I know that opinion is very divided there about this whole question.
For det andet ser vi, at liberaliseringen af samhandelen i aftaleoplægget er stærkt begrænset.
I believe it must be related to some of the problems that we have failed to address within our own Community.
Nogle af de vigtigste af disse staters eksportmuligheder — f.eks. tekstil og jem- og stålprodukter — vil ikke være omfattet af den generelle afskaffelse af importkvoter.
For example, our failure to deal effectively with the cunency crisis, with the recessionary effects, in my opinion, of the EMU proposals in the Maastricht accord, and our apparent inability to tackle the serious problems of unemployment and competitive devaluations which are now taking place fairly regularly between the Member States.
Dette vil formindske aftalernes økonomiske virkning ganske betydeligt.
All of these have an impact on this continuing process of involving the EFTA countries initially in a free trade agreement and then leading them on to full membership of the European Community.
FORMANDEN. — Næste punkt på dagsordenen er betænkning (dok.
CHANTERIE (PPE). — (NL) Mr President, I too would thank Mr Steichen for the statement which he has just made.
For så vidt angår det regionale samarbejde, mente Parlamentet, at det ville have været ønskeligt at fremme denne form for samarbejde mellem SNG-republikkeme ved i aftalerne at etablere en eller anden form for regional koordinering.
Firstly, I think all of us here take the view that this agreement between the European Com munity and the EFTA countries is a very important matter; it is vital that the agreement should be implemented as soon as possible, so that a new step is actually taken, because there have been all too many agreements recently which have not been able to enter into force.
Sørgeligt nok har det klart vist sig, at dette er umuligt, men jeg håber, at vi vil huske på i det fremtiden.
Hopefully, this agreement will be able to do so.
Det er måske inden for det finansielle samarbejde, at aftalerne sandsynligvis vil vise sig at være mest skuffende.
STAVROU (PPE). — (GR) Mr President, I am sure that the Commission is not used to hearing its praises sung in this House.
Midlerne til gennemførelsen af aftalerne skal komme fra programmet for faglig bistand. Spørgsmålet om øko-
In this particular case, I.have to say that they deserve our congratulations, not only because they man
