Verde i Aldea (S). — (ES) Hr. formand, jeg må tilstå, at for et parlamentsmedlem er det yderst vanskeligt at tage ordet efter de to foregående talere.
Ib CHRISTENSEN (ARC). — (DA) Mr President, the President of the Council spoke optimistically and the President of the Commission spoke pessimistically, both on the same basis, namely their wish for a strong European union.
Euro­pæiske borgere repræsenteres i dette tilfælde af en hvilken som helst repræsentant for De Tolv.
And now I want to talk about Lebanon, because I am overwhelmed with grief. My little flat in Beirut has been demolished, but that is not what I want to talk about.
Det er udmærket, men der ligger dog en vis ironi i, at begrebet europæisk statsborgerskab ser dagens lys via Saddam Hussein, som har fremprovokeret dette begreb, der hidtil ikke har eksisteret i noget fælles­skabsdokument.
First, is it the intention to change to majority decision in the fields of foreign and security policy, for example, by a new definition of consensus so that decisions are regarded as approved simply if no country votes directly against ?
For Fællesskabet eksisterer euro­pæisk statsborgerskab ikke.
Secondly, is it the intention to bring questions of defence policy, including armaments and joint military programmes, under cooperation on matters of foreign and security policy ?
Jeg er f. eks. hjemmehø­rende i et af de lande, der sammen med Portugal endnu ikke råder over størstedelen af de rettigheder, som er anerkendt for de øvrige medlemsstaters ved­kommende.
Thirdly, is it the intention to declide incomes policy, including direct and indirect control of wage trends, according to a Community plan as an essential instrument for controlling trends in inflation and costs within economic and monetary union?
Formanden. — Som afslutning på forhandlingen har jeg modtaget 14 beslutningsforslag med anmodning om afstemning snarest muligt. ')
I shall be very grateful if both the President of the Council and the President of the Commission can answer these questions, because they are quite essential matters which must be dealth with in conjunction with the inter-government conferences and in which the political decisions must actually be taken in the coming weeks.
Afstemningen om anmodningen om afstemning snarest muligt finder sted ved forhandlingens afslutning. ning.
I therefore look forward to receiving an answer from both the President of the Commission and the President of the Council.
Der foreligger altså en række problemer. Jeg tilstår, at vi parlamentarikere er mødt op i dag uden at være behørigt forberedt, idet vi er mødt op uden kendskab til, hvad rådsformanden og kommissionsformanden ville tale om, vi havde ikke fået de ringeste forhåndsoplysninger.
Let me conclude by asking you, in your capacity of President-in-Office, to launch a European political and iplomatic action aimed at convening the international conference on the Middle East which has long been requested in many quarters, including by us in the MSI-DN.
Vores holdnig var afventende. Det er beklageligvis min fornemmelse, at der er blevet talt mere om fortiden end fremtiden; mere om, hvad der er blevet gjort i løbet af de seneste måneder end om, hvad der vil ske i de kommende måneder, som er aldeles afgørende.
It is indeed quite immoral to pretend not to see that the factors of violence, prevarication, hate and sectarianism that are so tragically associated with that area are in fact typical and common to all the people of that region, just as the right of the Kuwaitis to the integrity of their country is identical to that of the Palestinians in their turn to their own country and to that of the Christian and Muslim Lebanese to live in freedom in an independent state.
Colombo (PPE). — (IT) Hr. parlamentsformand, hr. rådsformand, hr. kommissionsformand, kære kolleger, denne forhandlings forløb har undret mig lidt og bekymret mig lidt.
WOLTJER (S). — (NL) Mr President, in adding to what Mr Verde i Aldea has already said, I will confine myself to three aspects which need to be underlined once again.
Jeg skal i dag på min gruppes vegne — men jeg tror, at jeg hermed samtidig giver udtryk for den generelle holdning i Parlamentet — opfordre rådsformanden til at gøre alt, hvad der er muligt, for at vi kan afslutte dette halvår med reelt betydningsfulde aftaler om såvel Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union som Den Politiske Union.
Emergencies of this kind time and again lead the Council and the Community institutions to attempt to strengthen and coordinate the Community's political and structural instruments, producing such results as today's speeches by you, Mr President of the Council, and Commissioner Delors.
Parlamentet har tidligere flere gange udtalt sig om begge, og jeg skal ikke insistere yderligere herpå, idet dokumenterne taler deres tydelige sprog.
If we wanted to sound absurd, which we do not, we would have to hope for one crisis a month if we are finally to achieve the objective desired by all the people fo Europe and which only the governments stubbornly continue to delay: the political unity of Europe and its restructuring. ing.
Rådsformanden, hr. De Michelis, har gjort rede for, hvad det italienske formandskab har foretaget, og har sagt, at balancen var positiv.
It is indeed sad, Mr President of the Council, to have to accept the evidence that the European Community only progresses along its natural road because it is obliged to do so by external pressures and therefore, in the final analysis, only does so out of fear or egoism.
Det skal jeg i hvert fald ikke sige imod.
It is the same fear that, if 1 may say so.
Denne positive vurdering er dog begrænset af en henvisning, han gjorde, da han sagde, at selv om vor aktion var positiv, kunne den dog ikke komme op på siden af De Forenede Staters, idet vi hverken har dette lands styrke, struktur eller organisation.
President Delors, made it possible in the last few days to take a step forward towards completing the European monetary system; this was done purely out of fear that one currency, the German one, could become the key currency in future.
Han tilføjede derefter — og det lagde jeg mærke til — at det, vi havde gjort, var sket i overensstemmelse med de bestemmelser, vi har.
We are convinced, on the contrary, that political and Com munity integration at the highest level cannot be achieved until the spirit and ideal on which they must be founded take precedence over forced decisions.
Parlamentet er med rette yderst optaget af dette problem.
Firstly, the GATT negotiations.
For ikke så længe siden talte en europæisk avis om dette »omvandrende cirkus«.
What is happening at the moment is regrettable.
Vi vil gerne vide, hvad vi skal holde os til, ikke fordi vi har bestemte præferencer, men af hensyn til Parlamentets arbejde.
After three vain attempts by the Agriculture Council, the General Affairs Council has not succeeded in giving the Commission a negotiating mandate.
Jeg må sige oprigtigt, at Kommissionens formand, hr. Delors, har skuffet mig i dag, både i formiddags og nu til eftermiddag.
The result is — and we must again be well aware of this — that the European Community's isolated position has been underlined.
Hvad er grunden hertil?
We have in fact ourselves to blame for this isolated position.
Da hr. Delors i denne forhandling talte om en ny Europæisk Fælles Akt, bemærkede han, hvor mange problemer der er, Rusland, østlandene, og dertil kommer den tredje og den fjerde verden.
Last month the European Parliament adopted a position on the whole GATT package, and I am surprised that this position, which was adopted by a large majority in this Parliament, could not serve as a guideline for the decisions that should have been taken in the Council.
Der er ingen, jeg mindst af alt, der kan beskylde ham for oratoriske overdrivelser, når han omtaler disse pro blemer her.
It is very important that the heads of government should now take a decision on the GATT negotiations.
Over for disse problemer tales der dog om medbestemmelsesret og andre ting, når det reelle spørgsmål er bipolariteten.
On behalf of my group 1 therefore make an urgent appeal for a GATT mandate that complies with the position adopted by Parliament.
Hr. rådsformand, vi havde under første mødeperiode i oktober lejlighed til at læse nogle udtalelser fra Deres side vedrørende denne situation.
We said explicitly that the Commission's proposals in their present form deserve our support, provided that various matters are settled.
Vi havde gerne set, at Parlamentet havde fået lejlighed til at høre udtalelserne af Deres egen mund.
The social aspects and rural development must be settled in such a way that, instead of creating problems, we try to find solutions.
Miljøagenturet er heller ikke blevet oprettet endnu.
That must always be possible.
Hr. kommissionsformand, hvad der bekymrer os er at se, hvor dan Parlamentets arbejds- og hjemsted tilsyneladende er genstand for en slags studehandel hvor løsningen for Parlamentets vedkommende kan vise sig at blive afhængig af placeringen af det ene eller det andet agentur.
We must still have the means to tackle the environmental problems, because improvement in this area are absolutely essential.
Hvilket ikke har noget med hinanden at gøre.
Those were the enditions, and what do wc find ?
Det siges alle vegne, at bipolariteten ikke findes længere.
We find that all kinds of national interests arc being discussed in the Council.
Ikke blot af hensyn til Parlamentet og dets arbejde, men også af hensyn
Com missioner Delors has said that national interests must be
Colombo vis mødes, taler sammen, forstår hinanden, træffer afgørelse om og styrer de internationale spørgsmål.
Nor is that the problem. The question is how far national interests can be used to block certain necessary European decisions.
Hvis en af vore grundlæggere, som vi nævner hvert andet øjeblik, stod over for disse problemer, ville han være meget dristigere end vi er.
At that time, at the time of the first direction elections to the European Parliament, the big issue was Euro-sclerosis.
Jeg vil ønske for Dem, at De vil have samme dristighed.
Nothing was going right in Europe at that time.
Efter at have fulgt denne drøftelse og andre lignende drøftelser, må jeg sige, at ud fra de forudsætninger kan vi ikke nå frem til nogen positiv løsning.
We of the Socialist Group consider it very important that the Italian Presidency has also worked on this, and my group has supported these efforts during the debates on the subject.
Det der mangler, er en plan. Lad os se bort fra definitioner af den art, om Europa skal være et forbund eller ej.
I refer you to the situation in Rwanda, where African countries have now asked for help with a peacekeeping force.
Hver har sin opfattelse.
We know that the Belgian Government is looking for such help in the Member States.
Vi kan bagefter se på, hvordan den nybyggede organisation må defineres, omend jeg personligt nærer tillid til, at dens udformning vil blive af føderal karakter.
We also know that the Community does not really have any instruments yet.
Problemet angår Den Politiske union eller Den Europæiske Union, Den Europæiske Union, som Mitterrand og Kohl har sagt, og som Rådets formandskab nu siger.
This means in fact that we have a major deficiency in this respect.
De Vries (LDR). — (NL) Hr. formand, hvilke tre store udfordringer er det, at historien stiller os over for?
At the moment there are three things on the agenda which have to be tackled by the end of this year and decided by the end of 1992.
For det første integrationen af ét stort og mægtigt Tyskland i Det Europæiske Fællesskab.
First, there is the common foreign and security policy.
Og for det tredje udviklingen af en sikkerheds politik, som lader Det Europæiske Fællesskab spille en rolle i verden i overensstemmelse med dets nye økonomiske vægt, en sikkerhedspolitik i nært samarbejde med Canada og USA. Det er de tre udfordringer for Fællesskabet.
We must extend European cooperation to include all aspects of security policy, and within the framework of the Twelve we must also arrive at a common European security system, which I believe should be based on a system of commitments of mutual assistance, as is already the case in Western European Union.
Vort ansvar i verden øges.
That is one of the main issues.
Hvilke tre instrumenter har vi brug for for at klare disse udfordringer?
We have always said that the goal must be solutions in an international framework.
Én valuta som en forening af vore økonomiske kræfter.
The European Community has operated in a way that deserves recognition.
Én udenrigspolitik som nødvendigt instrument for at spille en rolle i verden. Og effektive og demokratiske institutioner for at styre det hele.
But we still consider it important for other matters and regional problems in the Middle East to be resolved.
Men hvad er virkeligheden?
It contained not vague words or vague ideas but some very concrete statements.
Det Forenede Kongerige er imod det. Én fælles handelspolitik?
What do we now find ?
Forbundsrepublikken blokerer en ansvarlig holdning fra EF's side inden for rammerne af GATT med hensyn til landbruget.
Parliament must be able to criticize this, and it intends to criticize it.
Stærkere europæiske institutioner?
The second is the common currency.
Den franske regering er kun interesseret i mere mellemstatsligt samarbejde og går ikke ind for styrkelse af Parlamentets rolle.
What is really sad in this connection is that we are becoming embroiled in the question : 1993 or 1994 ?
Det er politikere, ikke statsmænd.
What is really at issue ?
Der er imidlertid nogle, der ønsker lidt mere medbestemmelse, og nogle, der ønsker lidt mindre, nogle, der ønsker at give Kommissionen lidt mere styrke, og nogle, der vil give den lidt mindre.
The first question is : will we manage to lay the foundations for a European central banking system in the new Treaty, the future Treaty of Rome ? That is the first objective.
Hvis tingene fortsætter sådan, vil Den Europæiske Fælles Akt være ringere end det, der beskæftiger os i dag, fordi vi vil behandle de vanskeligste spørgsmål, såsom de politiske og institutionelle, efter systemet med den ene hånd, der vasker den anden.
My view is that we should fix a date in the new Treaty of Rome, because only dates that are fixed in the Treaty of Rome, because only dates that are fixed in the Treaty are relevant.
Til sidst vil der ganske vist komme et resultat ud af det, der dog vil kunne sikre Europas styrke, medvirken og aktion på internationalt plan, tillægge det mulighed for internt, inden for sine institutioner, at udarbejde en politik, der åbenbarer sig udadtil, og som frem for alt er effektiv, for det er ikke skinnet, der tæller.
We should fix a date for the establishment of the European Central Bank and for the introduction of a European currency, because — as we have often said in the past — the debates on the European currency constantly remind me of a perform ance of 'Hamlet' without the prince.
Det er derfor, hvad jeg gerne ville se.
The main character does not put in an appearance.
At acceptere nødvendigheden af at give verden et signal om, at de forstår deres historiske ansvar.
To lecture us while we are trying to find solutions to the problem, to tell us we must take the national interests of a Member States into account, that is surely unacceptable.
Den europæiske optræden i Golf-området er stadig overordentlig sørgelig.
So I feel steps must be taken to prevent the horse-trading that now seems likely to begin.
Det er nødvendigt, at vi i de europæiske lande begynder at tale med én stemme i udenrigspolitikken, ikke blot når det drejer sig om Golfområdet, men også når det drejer sig om Sikkerhedsrådet, G-7 og Konferencen om Sikkerhed og Samarbejde i Europa. Dér ligger vort ansvar.
I repeat, it is not a question of opposing Strasbourg but of bringing the Community's three institutions together so that they are able to function properly.
Endvidere henviser jeg til styrkelsen af demokratiet.
At the risk of incurring your displeasure, Mr President, I would like to ask: where does democracy take place?
Historien har i dag lært os én lektie, og det er, at demokratiet bliver stærkere i hele verden, navnlig i Østeuropa, bl. a. med vor støtte.
One thing is certain in my opinion, and that is that Parliament's partsessions must continue to be held in Strasbourg, because if there is one symbol of democracy in Europe, it is Strasbourg.
Hvordan kan vi så nægte at styrke demokratiet i Vesteuropa?
We should not underestimate the effect of such symbols.
Hvordan kan kommissionsformand Delors så modsætte sig
But now to the question of the way ahead.
Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets fælles beslutning?
Union, the common currency and democratic control.
Hvordan kan han så sige, at spørgsmålet om arbejdsstederne er løst?
You can't have one without the other.
Jeg vil ikke komme nærmere ind på dette punkt, men jeg slutter med denne bemærkning.
It would be best if the Twelve could tackle this together.
Styrkelse af det parlamentariske demokrati vil være nødvendigt, hvis De ikke vil miste befolkningens støtte ved den meget vidtgående styrkelse af EF, som vil være nødvendig i de kommende år.
But I believe that those countries which are certainly willing to take this step towards European Union must be determined to take this step alone if necessary.
Det eneste praktiske sted for en sådan kombination er det sted, hvor Kommissionen har sit sæde, da vi i vidtgående omfang behøver dens deltagelse i vore udvalgsmøder. Dette er ikke et argument for Bruxelles.
CAPUCHO (LDR). — (PT) Mr President, the speaking time available to me, which is obviously limited, only allows me, on the subject of the Council and Commission statements, to comment on two or three points which, moreover, are contained in the resolution which my political Group, the LDR, is submitting to wind up this debate.
Price (ED). — (EN) Hr. formand, Fællesskabet konfronteres med en række betydelige udfordringer.
AULAS (V). — (FR) Mr President, we noted how much emphasis the President-in-Office put on the Gulf crisis in his speech, but that emphasis was confined to reminding us of the two measures adopted by the Community in August, the embargo and rhe aid for the countries in the regions most severly affected by the crisis.
Nogle af dem er muligheder for at opbygge et stærkere Fællesskab.
But since then, as you will acknowledge, events have moved on apace in the region.
I sidste ende kan vi kun tage imod disse udfordringer og gribe disse chancer, hvis vi opretter en struktur, som er i stand til at forvalte vort voksende Fællesskab effektivt og demokratisk. Den centrale institution i ethvert demokratisk system er dets parlament. Men et parlament er ikke blot et symbol.
Palestine and Lebanon have been very much in the news, as though to remind those who still refuse to face the facts how true it is that the Gulf crisis cannot be dissociated from the other centres of crisis in the region.
Dette kan ikke ske, medmindre vi er udrustet til at udføre vore opgaver. Europa-Parlamentet er ikke udrustet på denne måde.
This subject is back on the agenda particularly today, Mr President, since Iraq has just announced ostensibly humanitarian intentions obviously calculated to drive a wedge between the Community Member States, to which we must react in solidarity.
Det lider under et handicap, som ikke plager et eneste af medlemsstaternes parlamenter.
Mr President, that is why we were hoping the presidencies of the Council and the Commission were going to discuss these crises, if only briefly.
Det har sit arbejde og sit personale spredt mellem tre arbejdssteder, hundreder af km fra hinanden!
We were hoping they were going to advocate a regional approach complying both with international law and with the Security Council resolutions.
Man kan bygge en fin bygning med et storslået design, men hvis lasten overskrider fundamenternes styrke, vil den bryde sammen.
Since they have not done so, we find ourselves dreaming of a political will, investment of diplomatic effort and funding for these regions comparable to what has been seen over the past year for the Eastern part of our continent.
Parlamentet er faktisk ved at nærme sig sammenbruddets rand.
However, Mr President, as we know, the time for dreaming is past.
Det er derfor, jeg agter at tale om netop dette spørgsmål i dag.
We have to wake up to our responsibilities, as Mr De Michelis himself said.
Der forelægges en række beslutninger som afslutning på denne forhandling.
It is time the Council set about the initiative in favour of which it declared back in June 1989, the organisation of an international conference on peace in the Middle East.
Jeg må sige, at jeg blev meget skuffet, da jeg læste det, der blev tillagt rådsformanden i en meddelelse fra Reuter den 9. oktober, hvori han sagde, at fordi han argumenterede for, at for samlingen i forbindelse med Konferencen om Sikkerhed og Samarbejde i Europa blev placeret i Strasbourg, var det et argument for, at Europa-Parlamentet også skulle have alle sine mødeperioder der.
It is essential for the Twelve to adopt an even firmer and more cohesive position to express their vigorous condemnation of the atrocities committed following the surrender of General Aoun, which have once more unfortunately affected the defenceless civil population, including children.
Det er i hele Fællesskabets interesse, uanset hvornår det sker, at forhindre, at enkle, snæversynede nationale interesser går forud for Fællesskabets interesser. Jeg forventer, at det italienske formandskab sætter Fællesskabets interesse først.
Regimes that are exploiting this crisis to tighten the grip of repression in their own countries or to engage in excursions abroad which, before 2 August, would doubtless have attracted international sanctions.
Men denne konstruktion kræver praktisk bestræbelse såvel som fremsynethed. I januar 1989 var Parlamentet stillet over for sine egne praktiske behov.
We are not unaware, Mr President, of the provisions of the Treaties on this subject.
Dets afstemning under mødeperioden fulgte efter mange måneders udvalgsbehandling og en hel del kompromis.
But we also ask to Council not to ignore, for its part, Parliament's repeated resolutions on the matter.
Det fremførte i beslutningen sit behov for »at mindske den nuværende spredning af sit arbejde og personale mellem tre arbejds steder«.
It would be absurd for the Council to take any decision without previously consulting Parliament and without taking into account our previous views expressed in this House.
Dette betød ikke tilbagetrækning fra nogen af dem, men var blot et svar på praktiske behov med praktiske løsninger.
More than absurd, it would show in our view a serious lack of consideration for the institution which springs directly from the popular will and which will naturally refuse to be placed in this matter on an equal footing and treated like any branch office.
Det besluttede, at for at udføre sit arbejde »var det nødvendigt at holde yderligere og ekstra mødeperioder, som faldt sammen med en
We arc sure that elementary good sense will prevail, with the rejection of certain unbalanced and exaggerated statements which have cast a certain shadow and
Endelig bemærker jeg, at den italienske formand som svar på det, der blev omtalt som »et vandrende
And what can be said about Syria ? Damascus, which is giving sanctuary to the Nazi Aloyse Bruner,
Price om fred, solidaritet og europæisk enhed, der bliver fremsat af vore folk, og fællesskabsinstitutionernes politik.

well and truly engaged in what we have been doing, drafting the constitution of the European Union, not in order to impose it butfor you to take it into consider ation.
Men det er ikke en pris for at opbygge et forenet Europa!
And I think that is the lesson of the whole of history, Mr President.
Hvis han tvinger Parlamentet til at arbejde under så uacceptable forhold, bygger han en svaghed ind i strukturens fundamenter for fremtiden.
We are making preparations to vote the constitution of the Union in the very near future.
