Jeg ville gerne vide, om kommissæren og Kommissionen forstår, at så alvorlige problemer ikke kun imødegås med erklæringer om gode intentioner, og jeg er den sidste til at betvivle Kommissionens og Karel Van Mierts gode intentioner.
I wonder whether the Commissioner and the Commission realize that problems of this magnitude cannot be dealt with by mere declarations of good intentions, and I would be the last person to doubt the good intentions of both the Commission and Karel Van Miert personally.
Jeg ville gerne vide, om Kommissionen er klar over, at disse ensidige foranstaltninger, som blev truffet, da blækket knapt var tørt på aftalen med Ungarn og Tjekkoslovakiet, og dette er netop det mistænkelige i sagen, at disse foranstaltninger faktisk udelukker landevejstransport af græske landbrugsprodukter til de andre EF-lande og af EF-produkter til Grækenland.
I wonder whether the Commission is aware that the unilateral measures adopted the day after the ink had dried after the signing of the agreement with Hungary and Czechoslovakia — and that is the suspect feature of the whole affair — that such measures essentially preclude overland transport for Greek agricultural products to the other countries of the Community and for Community products to Greece ?
Og jeg ville gerne vide, om Kommissionen og hr. Karel Van Miert personligt kan være tilfredse med at komme her til Parlamentet mere end to måneder efter, at disse foranstaltninger er blevet truffet, og stadig vente på nogle erklæringer om gode intentioner fra den ungarske eller tjekkoslovakiske regering.
And I wonder whether the Commission and Karel Van Miert personally can be satisfied, coming to Parliament two months after those measures were adopted, and still awaiting expressions of goodwill from any Hungarian or Czechoslovak government.
Jeg ville gerne vide, om Kommissionen, selv om den ikke har fulde beføjelser med hensyn til bilaterale forbindelser, ikke er klar over, at diskriminationspolitik ikke kan accepteres.
Of course, even though the Commission does not have full authority for the bipartite relations, I wonder why it does not realize that it cannot accept a policy of discrimination.
Van Miert. — (FR) For det første handlede Kom missionen øjeblikkeligt, selv på dette område, hvor vi ikke havde nogen beføjelser.
VAN MIERT. — (FR) First, the Commission acted right away, even in this field, which was not our responsibility.
Da vi havde modta get en anmodning fra den græske regering, sagde vi, at vi var rede til at foreslå vor mellemkomst. Dette var helt uafhængigt af den protest, som vi straks fremsendte til de pågældende regeringer, eftersom dette var i strid med de nyligt indgåede aftaler.
But in view of the fact that the Greek Government had made the request and so was in agreement, we said that we were ready to offer to use our good offices, quite apart from the protests we had made immediately to the government concerned, since this was contrary to the agreements just concluded.
Jeg vil blot benytte lejligheden til at gøre opmærksom på, at de store forhøjelser af transitafgifterne foruden den økonomiske skade også har en destruktiv effekt på mit lands, Grækenlands, handel med Fællesskabet.
On this opportunity, however, I would like to stress that apart from the economic burden represented by the transit charge multiplication, this is also having a disastrous effect on trade between our country, Greece, and the Community.
Dette ville være af mindre betydning for mig, eftersom der har været udsigt til en løsning på problemet, som vi netop også har fået med Ungarn, og som vi muligvis — forhåbentlig — også snart vil få med Tjekkoslovakiet.
Even that would be of little importance to me, granted that a solution is in sight, as precisely has happened with Hungary and may happen soon — and I hope so — with Czechoslovakia.
Men der er også to andre tragiske ting. Nemlig at det sædvanlige transitland, Jugoslavien, har været utilgængeligt på grund af de velkendte begivenheder.
But other tragic circumstances have arisen, namely that at the same time the usual transit country, Yugoslavia, remains impassable because of the events we all know about.
Er det tilfældigt, at Tjekkoslovakiet og Ungarn valgte det tidspunkt til at bryde den helt friske aftale?
Consequently, is it a coincidence that Czechoslovakia and Hungary chose just this time to abrogate their signatures with the ink barely dry ?
Til sidst vil jeg gerne sige, at det moralske nederlag, vi har fået, fordi det har været muligt af afskære en medlemsstat fra resten af Fællesskabet, bør lære os at se os bedre for for fremtiden.
In conclusion, Mr President, I want to say that the moral blow caused by the fact that it has proved possible to cut off a Member State from the body of the Community should alert us, and we must see what could be done in the future.
Jeg sendte desuden delegationer fra DG I og DG VII til de to hovedstæder, ud over de drøftelser, som fandt sted i Bruxelles.
In addition, I sent delegations from DG I and DG VII to both capitals, apart from the discussions in Brussels.
I Ungarns tilfælde blev spørgsmålet løst via drøftelser med den græske og den ungarske regering og med Kommissionen.
In the case of Hungary it was possible to settle the matter through talks between the Greek and Hungarian Governments and the Commission.
Det var lidt mere kompliceret med Tjekkoslovakiet, eftersom der var tale om en parlamentsbeslutning.
The case of Czechoslovakia was a little more complicated, since there was a decision of the Parliament.
Vi måtte forklare den tjekkiske regering, at hvis man ønskede et partnerskab med Fællesskabet, måtte man følge spillets regler, og også det tjekkiske parlament måtte overholde det, som frivilligt var indgået med Fællesskabet.
It had to be explained to the Czechoslovak Government that if they wanted a partnership with the Community they must play the game, and that consequently the Czechoslovak Parliament must also, for its part, respect what had been voluntarily agreed between the Community and the country in question.
Efter at der var indgået en aftale med den ungarske regering, er der stadig igangværende drøftelser med den tjekkiske regering med henblik på at søge at nå
First, as long as Greek hauliers are hindered by the situation in Yugoslavia we ask the Czechoslovak
Van Miert. — (EN) For det første var de to implicerede lande, Tjekkoslovakiet og Ungarn, behjælpelige, da den dramatiske situation opstod i Jugoslavien.
VAN MIERT. — In the first place, the two countries involved, Czechoslovakia and Hungary, were helpful when the dramatic situation arose in Yugoslavia.
De har nu under pres fra offentligheden vedtaget love om ekstra afgifter. Vi kan ikke acceptere, at dette udelukkende går ud over et enkelt land. nemlig Grækenland.
Now, under the pressure of public opinion, they have voted through laws imposing extra charges.
Vi må gøre noget for at hjælpe
Therefore, I will ask for Parliament's help.
Van Miert for at gøre det klart for de græske vognmænd, at dette ikke var en tilstrækkelig grund til at blokere vognmænd fra andre fællesskabslande. Kommissionen protesterede og gjorde alt, hvad den kunne for at løse problemet.
VAN MIERT membership of the European Communities made by the Republic of Cyprus on 4.7.1990 ?
Jeg vil følgelig bede om Parlamentets hjælp. Vi bliver sand synligvis nødt til at føre noget via finansprotokol lerne eller noget lignende for at søge at forbedre infrastrukturen i disse lande samt gøre noget på miljøområdet, men ikke i form af foranstaltninger, som kun rammer et enkelt land.
of environment, but not through measures which only penalize one country.
Og jeg tror, at begge lande accepterer vort ræsonnement, at Grækenland ikke bør straffes på grund af situationen i Jugoslavien.
And I think both of those countries accept our reasoning that Greece should not be penalized because of the situation in Yugoslavia.
Begge lande accepterer principielt dette, og jeg håber, at vi meget snart vil kunne indgå en aftale med Tjekkoslovakiet, som vil være tilfredsstillende for Grækenland.
They both accept that in principle and I hope that we can very soon have an agreement with Czechoslovakia which will be satisfactory to Greece.
Kellett-Bowman (ED). — (EN) Jeg sympatiserer med hr. Anastassopoulos og hr. Stavrou og deres landsmænd på grund af de vanskeligheder, de står overfor. Men jeg håber, at Kommissionen er enig i, at dette ikke var nogen undskyldning for Grækenland til at lukke landets grænser for britiske lastbiler for ti dage siden for en periode afea, syv dage.
KELLETT-BOWMAN (ED). — I sympathize with Mr Anastassopoulos and Mr Stavrou and their compatriots on the difficulties they have been having, but I hope the Commission would agree with me that that was no excuse for Greece to close her borders to British lorries ten days ago for a period of about seven days.
En af mine vælgere, Harry Williamson, som kørte i en stor lastbil med syv tons chokolade, prøvede at komme ind i Grækenland, men måtte vente en uge på grund af en afgørelse truffet i Athen.
One of my constituents, Mr Harry Williamson, driving a large lorry carrying seven tonnes of Maltesers was trying to cross into Greece, and by a decision from Athens he was unable to do so for a week.
Jeg tror ikke, at en sådan holdning bidrager til en løsning af proble met.
I do not think this kind of attitude and response is any answer to the problem.
Matutes, medlem af Kommissionen. — (ES) I forbindelse med Cyperns ansøgning om optagelse har Kommissionen indtil nu foretaget mange indledende overvejelser og undersøgelser.
MATUTES, Member of the Commission. — (ES) With regard to the application of Cyprus for accession, the Commission has so far held many preparatory talks and has considered the matter on many occasions.
Det er en sag, der rejser to problemer, dels et teknisk eller materielt, fordi det ikke er muligt at indhente oplysninger på stedet om den nordlige del af Cypern for at få passende information om den besatte del af øen; dels et politisk problem, nemlig den indlysende fare for, at ansøgningen om optagelse bliver blokeret af den tyrkisk-cypriotiske befolkningsgruppe.
This question raises a twofold problem, on the one hand of a technical and material nature: the impossibility of obtaining information about Northern Cyprus on the spot, precisely so as to have available the appropriate data about the occupied portion of the island. The other problem is a political one: the obvious risk that the application for accession will be blocked by the Turkish Cypriot community.
Under alle omstændigheder har Kommissionen taget skridt til nedsættelse af en arbejdsgruppe med deltagelse af forskellige tjenestegrene, som er ved at udarbejde den udtalelse, der kræves i henhold til EØF-Traktatens artikel 237.
In any event, the Commission has proceeded to set up an inter­departmental group which is busy drafting the necessary report under Article 237 of the EEC Treaty.
Og jeg vil gerne til oplysning for denne forsamling sige, at der bortset fra de to problemer, som jeg her har nævnt, ikke er nogen økonomiske, sociale eller juridiske problemer, der kan bringe Cyperns mulige optagelse som fuldgyldigt medlem af EF i fare.
I should like to inform the House that, apart from this twofold problem to which I have referred, there are in Cyprus no economic, social or legal problems which jeopardize the possible accession of Cyprus to the Community as a member in its own right.
Cypern er et moderne, udviklet og demokratisk land, der overholder men neskerettighederne, og det kan med sikkerhed slås fast, at landet har de samme idealer som EF.
Cyprus is a modern, developed, democratic country which respects human rights and which may be said without any doubt to share the Community's ideals.
Jeg håber i hvert fald, at vi får den endelige udtalelse fra Kommissionen inden udgangen af dette år.
In any event I trust that we shall be able to have the Commission's final report available before the end of this year.
Anastassopoulos (PPE). — (GR) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne have lov til at korrigere nogle ting i forbindelse med den bemærkning, hr. Kellett Bowman kom med, og fortælle, hvordan de faktiske begivenheder var.
ANASTASSOPOULOS (PPE). — (GR) Mr President, permit me to put right certain actual facts related to the comment by Mr Kellett­Bowman.
Så vidt jeg ved, og jeg tror nok, jeg har en ide om, hvad der foregår i mit land, der har ikke været tale om at forbyde lastvogne fra noget EF-land eller tredjeland at rejse fra, til eller igennem Grækenland.
From what I know, and I think I have some idea what is going on in my country, there has been no instance of preventing any lorry from any country within or outside the Com­munity from travelling to, crossing into, or travelling within Greece.
Der har været et enkelt pro blem, nemlig at de græske lastvognschauffører besluttede i protest at standse deres egne lastvogne, netop fordi de alt for høje udgifter ved transit gennem Tjekkoslovakiet og Ungarn har gjort det svært for dem at fortsætte transporten. Dette har intet som helst at gøre med beslutninger truffet af græske myndigheder, som skulle hindre lastvognstransport.
The only problem that arose was that some drivers of Greek lorries decided, as an expression of protest, to immobilize their own vehicles precisely because the excessive costs during their passage through Czechoslovakia and Hungary made it problematic for them to continue plying their transport routes.
Det var en handling, som lastvognschaufførerne foretog i nødværge, og som ramte hr. Kellett Bowmans landsmand, men som ikke havde nogen forbindelse med andre græske aktioner. ner.
It was an emergency situation created by the colleagues of the lorry drivers, which affected Mr Kellett­Bowman's compatriot, but was unrelated to any other Greek action.
Van Miert. — (EN) Det var uacceptabelt, hvad der skete. Kommissionen gjorde alt, hvad den kunne for at løse problemet.
VAN MIERT. — I must say that what happened was unacceptable.
Der var ingen grund til at blokere andre vognmænd.
There was no reason to block other hauliers.
Vi modtog adskillige klager, ikke blot fra britiske vognmænd, men også fra hol landske. Jeg ved, at regeringen gjorde, hvad den kunne, men den skulle måske have handlet tidligere
We received several complaints, not only from British hauliers, but also from Dutch hauliers.
Papayannakis (GUE). — (GR) Tak for Deres svar, hr. kommissær.
PAPAYANNAKIS (GUE). — (GR) Thank you, Com­missioner, for your answer.
Jeg mener, at den vurdering, De kom med, er helt korrekt, hvad angår Cypern, og jeg finder det meget positivt, at der er nedsat denne arbejdsgruppe, og at vi får svar fra denne i god tid.
I think the judgement you have expressed is very correct concerning everything to do with Cyprus, and I think the fact that this working party has been set up, and that we will have its answer soon, is very positive.
Jeg vil blot spørge Dem, om De virkelig tror på, at der er tekniske problemer med indsamling af oplysningerne.
Mr Commissioner, I would just like to ask you whether you really believe in the technical difficulty of collecting the facts.
Så vidt jeg ved, og jeg er godt underrettet, har den cypriotiske regering alle de nødvendige oplysninger, og kan på alle måder hjælpe med at finde disse oplysninger.
From what I know, and I know it well, the Government of Cyprus has all the facts that may be needed, and it can also offer all the facilities necessary for the correct recovery of those facts.
Jeg tror ikke, der er noget problem.
I do not think there is a problem.
Hvad angår det politiske problem, forstår jeg dette, og det har længe været fremme.
As for the political problem, indeed I can understand that and it has been spoken about for a long time.
Jeg tror imidlertid, at drøftelserne om Cyperns optagelse i Europa i forbindelse med de nye internationale
So I think that, as in the case of other countries, we soon ought to have the Com­mission's opinion about Cyprus as well.
Europa-Parlamentets forhandlinger
Subject : Application of Cyprus for accession to the European Community
Derfor mener jeg, at vi også, som det er tilfældet med de andre lande, snarest bør få en udtalelse om Cypern fra Kommissionen. sionen.
What stage have the Commission services reached in gathering information to be used as a basis for the opinion due to be issued on the application for
Crampton (S). — (EN) Til forretningsordenen, hr. formand.
MATUTES. — (ES) I agree with what the honourable Member has just said.
Jeg finder det tilrådeligt, at man holder sig til sandheden.
Moreover we shall use all the information mentioned.
Det bør præciseres, at Cypern er dobbelt så stor som en af vore medlemsstater.
Still, the Commission's officers normally set up what we call fact­finding missions to collect these data on the spot each time.
Det er rent faktisk ikke så lille et land, og Malta er næsten præcis så stor som den medlemsstat, jeg henviste til.
In any event, we shall use all the information available to us to produce this report with the least possible delay.
Matutes. — (ES) Jeg er enig i Deres indlæg.
Debates of the European Parliament
Matutes. — (ES) Det afhænger måske af, fra hvilken side man ser problemet. Jeg tror, at et positivt svar på ansøgningen om optagelse ville kunne bidrage til at løse dette politiske problem, for så vidt som det ville bibringe hjælp, fremgang, stabilitet og intern og ekstern samhørighed.
ALAVANOS (CG). — (GR) I would like to ask the Commissioner whether, in dealing with the application for accession by Cyprus, which we all agree is objectively an unusual case, he has taken into account as a criterion in forming an opinion for or against, that the talks on the accession of Cyprus may constitute a factor that will contribute to solving the Cyprus problem.
Er Cypern ikke med lem af FN og et selvstændigt land repræsenteret ved dets regering?
Is Cyprus, or is it not a member of the UN and an independent country represented by its government?
De skal svare på den ansøgning, som regeringen har indgivet, uden at spørge den ene eller den anden landsdel, ligesom De heller ikke, da den græske regering indgav ansøgning, spurgte, hvad Peloponnes eller Midtgrækenland eller Epiros sagde til det. Det samme var tilfældet med Deres land.
You will have to respond to the application by that government, and you will not be asking some province or section of the country, just as when the Greek Government submitted its application, you did not ask the Péloponnèse, or Mainland Greece, or Epiros what they thought.
Så lad være med at sige sådan noget.
So do not tell us unacceptable things.
Det giver anledning til håb, at disse samtaler er indledt i FN's regi.
MATUTES. — (ES) Perhaps that depends basically on which side of the problem we are looking at.
Men lad os nu ikke tage forskud på det, som Kommissionens udtalelse vil handle om til sin tid.
I think that in fact an affirmative answer to the application for accession might help to solve this political problem in so far as it would introduce factors of aid, prosperity, stability and internal and external cohesion.
Patterson (ED). — (EN) Jeg vil gerne spørge kom missæren, om man kæder Cyperns ansøgning sammen med Maltas ansøgning, f.eks. vedrørende de institutionelle problemer ved optagelse af meget små lande.
It is encouraging that these negotiations have been undertaken in the framework of the United Nations.
Hvis dette er tilfældet, kan vi så få forsikring om, at problemerne med Cypern — på grund af spændingerne mellem de to folkegrupper — ikke på nogen måde vil bringe Maltas tiltrædelse i fare?
But in any case let us not anticipate what will be in the Commission's report when it comes out.
Matutes. — (ES) Eftersom der i spørgsmålet blev anmodet om oplysninger vedrørende Cyperns ansøgning om optagelse, har jeg indskrænket mig til at slå nogle kendsgerninger fast. Hermed mener jeg, at der er et reelt problem med den manglende afgang til den nordlige del af øen, og at spørgsmålet om medlemskab yderligere kompliceres af, at der kan være fare for, at den tyrkiske administration forsøger at blokere for processen, hvilket er en simpel kendsgerning.
MATUTES. — (£5) As the question asked for information about the application of Cyprus for accession, I confined myself to stating certain facts, namely that there was the practical problem that it was impossible to have access to the northern part, and of course the question of accession was more complicated since we were incurring the risk that the administration of the Turkish community might be intending to block the procedure, which is a simple fact.
Derudover har jeg fremhævet de mange positive aspekter ved Cyperns kandidatur.
And in addition I emphasized the many favourable aspects exhibited by the application of Cyprus.
Jeg har indskrænket mig til at fastslå kendsgerninger, og jeg synes, at jeg har foretaget en ret positiv vurdering, men i intet tilfælde har jeg føjet noget til for egen regning.
I confined myself to stating facts and I think I made rather a positive assessment, but I certainly did not add anything that I had invented.
Jeg har indskrænket mig til at omtale kendsgerninger, som alle har kendskab til — intet andet.
I merely mentioned facts known to everyone, nothing
Matutes. — (ES) Det er rigtigt, at der, som det ærede medlem påpeger, er ligheder mellem Cypern og Malta derved, at det er små stater, som selvfølgelig vil skabe institutionelle problemer, hvis de kom mer til at udgøre en stor del af EF's medlemsstater. ter.
PATTERSON (ED). — I should like to ask the Commissioner whether they are making any linkage between the application of Cyprus and the application of Malta, for example on the institutional problems of accommodating very small countries ?
Europa-Parlamentets forhandlinger
The Commission text has been distributed.
Formanden. — Næste punkt på dagsordenen er Kommissionens reaktion på Parlamentets udtalel-
In spite of this similarity, in spite of the fact that the applications for accession are made at the same time and that that has therefore meant that the inter departmental groups have been set up and other measures have been taken by the Commission at more or less the same time to draft the relevant reports, I must say that both in these cases and in any other application for accession, every case is treated on its own merits, which could not be otherwise since that is what the Treaty requires.
Kommissionen har intet at tilføje i denne sag.
I think it is advisable to keep to the truth.
Ønsker nogen at stille korte spørgsmål til Kommissionen? sionen?
Cyprus, it must be pointed out, is twice as large as one of our Member States.
Fællesskabs støtten kan med andre ord have visse supplerende virkninger i hele Det Forenede Kongerige, men ikke nødvendigvis i de områder, som pengene specifikt var øremærket til.
During the December partsession, where the Commission also gave an answer, a resolution was approved on the subject of 'measures on behalf of the region of Lavrion'.
Dette er en utilfredsstillende situation, og jeg gjorde dette klart over for britiske ministre på det møde, jeg havde med dem i april sidste år og efterfølgende i alle mine forhandlinger med de britiske myndigheder.
The resolution was approved by a large majority, and the Commission — I think Mr Andriessen was present — said that it was aware of the situation, had taken note of the resolution, and would go ahead with the measures in question.
Jeg har følt mig tvunget til at blokere godkendelsen af RECHAR-programmerne til britiske kulmineområder.
I now ask : since then, can the Commission tell us what progress it has achieved in those measures for that region, in which the entire industrial infrastructure is being destroyed and 60% of the workforce is now unemployed and being fed by canteens ?
Jeg gjorde ikke dette uden videre, da jeg er klar over, hvor hårdt brug der er i disse kulmineområder for fællesskabsstøtten på omkring 115 mio. UKL.
Can the Commission tell us if it has done anything about the resolution which Parliament approved by a large majority ?
Ephremidis (CG). — (GR) Det drejer sig om en vedtagen beslutning.
EPHREMIDIS (CG). — (GR) I would like to ask Mr Matutes something before he leaves.
