FORMANDEN. — Jeg har taget Deres bemærkning til efterretning, hr. Samland.
— Doc. B3-1614/92by Mr Vecchi and others, on behalf of the Group for the European United Left, on the situation in Angola;
Desværre besluttede medlemsstaterne i den ellevte time at afvise dette kapitel.
B3-1626/92 by Mrs Dury and others, on behalf of the Socialist Group, on the situation in Angola.
Jeg forstår til fulde, at emnet ønskes behandlet med en vis følsomhed. Imidlertid vil jeg gerne til hr. Cardosos undskyldning sige, at han i dag er i Luxembourg, hvor han deltager i et møde i det rådgivende EKSF-udvalg netop for at drøfte disse og andre vigtige emner.
Moreover, I would call on my colleagues in the EPP Group and the Socialist Group to look again at this recital, since it is inappropriate for those who are in favour of the resumption of the peace process to adopt such a biased position.
FORMANDEN. — Forhandlingen under ét er afsluttet.
The rest of the joint motion deserves our wholehearted support.
Kommissionen er sig kulindustriens vanskeligheder bevidst, og den ønsker på ingen måde at fralægge sig sit ansvar.
MIRANDA DA SILVA (CG). — (PT) Mr President, my group signed and will vote in favour of the joint motion for a resolution on the situation in Angola.
Over en periode af 25 år har Kommissionen bemyndiget medlemsstaterne til at yde produktionsstøtte til et beløb af 75.000 mio ECU.
As we made clear in our own motion, however, we believe that the present crisis in that country requires the European Parliament to adopt an even more clear and unequivocal position, in particular by condemning UNITA for violating the Bicesse agreements and plunging the country into a undeclared civil war.
Det må heller ikke glemmes, at der på det sociale og regionale plan under EKSF-budgettet er bevilget støtte til genintegrering og omstilling, ligesom der er iværksat programmer som RECHAR-programmet, selv om dette program i nogle medlemsstater lider under en vis forsinkelse, som Kom missionen dog ikke kan gøres ansvarlig for.
UNITA has undermined an electoral process which was considered free and fair by all the international authorities and by the overwhelming majority of observers, it has withdrawn from the national army which is in the process of being formed and it has mobilized its troops throughout the country, notably attacking the Luanda airport and various large towns in an attempt to acquire the power that was denied it by the ballot box.
PAGOROPOULOS (S). — (GR) Hr. formand, opløsningen af det kommunale trafikselskab i Athen og afskedigelsen af dets 8000 ansatte har bragt den offentlige mening i mit land i oprør.
Shattered and exhausted by thirty years of war, the people of Angola are expecting the European Parliament to make a constructive and non-partisan contribution to finally achieving peace and prosperity in that country.
Med hensyn til Det Forenede Kongerige yder Kommissionen EKSF-støttemidler til genintegrering af arbejdstagere, der berøres af den industrielle omstilling. I løbet af det foregående år ydedes der 15 mio ECU under det traditionelle EKSF-støtteprogram til omskoling af ca. 7.000 arbejdstagere.
We also believe that there is a need to call on all countries in the region, and South Africa in particular, to refrain from interfering in Angola's internal affairs and from engaging in any other activity that is likely to obstruct a swift return to a situation of normality.
Endelig vil jeg gerne i forbindelse med lukningen af kulminer i Det Forenede Kongerige erindre om, at en fornyet analyse af energiprioriteterne efter alt at dømme ikke vil være baseret på en isoleret og eksklusiv beslutning truffet af den britiske regering, eftersom denne har anmodet Trade and Industiy Select Committee om at undersøge følgerne af lukningen for brugerne af elektricitet og for det nationale budget og økonomi og at undersøge energipolitiske alternativer.
To this end, the United Nations, the countries of the Tripartite Commission, the European Community and the international community in general must, with respect for the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of the People's Republic of Angola, bring their influence to bear and provide adequate support for the implementation of the Bicesse agreements, which are a vital means of' securing peace and starting the reconstruction of the country.
Det er en beslutning uden sidestykke hverken i Grækenland eller i Europa.
MIRANDA DA SILVA (CG). — (PT) Mr President, Mr Capucho has just called my speech partisan.
Selv om social ufølsomhed og despoti til støtte for den borgerlige regerings uretfærdige økono miske politik, der er dybt forankret i klassehensyn, jo efterhånden hører til dagens orden.
I would like to answer him by saying that I did no more nor less in my speech than express my support for the joint motion for a resolution.
Arbejdsløsheden er steget fra 6 til 9,5 % i løbet af de sidste 3 år og har gjort de ansatte i mit land fortvivlede. Med Maastricht-Traktaten som påskud skrider Nea Dimokratias regering daglig til privatiseringer med uigennemsigtige procedurer.
I was careful to emphasize at the beginning of my speech that I supported the joint motion and that I would vote in favour of it.
Den overdrager statsselskaber til partifæller til priser, der ligger langt under, hvad selskaberne er værd.
But it involves a commitment, and I shall stand by that commit ment.
Hvad angår det kommunale trafik selskab i Athen, har den opløst et statsselskab og skabt syv nye, som den støtter med et beløb på 24 mia drakmer, dvs. med et beløb, der er dobbelt så stort som det, den støttede statsselskabet med.
I trust that other Members will also stand by the commitment which they made when they signed this joint motion for a resolution.
Vedrørende nye direktiver om dumpingomkostninger har Kommissionen vedtaget et direktiv om gennemsigtighed i energipriserne, hvori det tilstræbes at indføre en sådan gennemsigtighed for en hvilken som helst kilde til energifremstilling, og naturligvis har vi i den forbindelse nøje noteret os hr. Samlands udtalelse om, at det ikke drejer sig om at indføre nye direktiver og spænde buen yderligere. gere.
GOLLNISCH (DR). — (FR) Mr President, I wished to point out that according to our Rules of Procedure, personal statements are in principle made at the end of the debate.
Men moderniseringen af de offentlige tjenesteydelser skal være baseret på størst mulig accept i samfundet.
CAPUCHO (LDR). — (PT) Mr President, it is not by being partisan that we shall support the peace process in Angola constructively.
Man skal sørge for konkrete foranstaltninger, der tager højde for de sociale omkostninger. Athens kommunale trafik forbindelser må i dag overdrages til det lokale selvstyre, som i øvrigt er det eneste, der har kompetencen ifølge Grækenlands forfatning og kommunelovgivning — men disse bestemmelser lader den nuværende regering hånt
As regards the current crisis in that country, it will be a pity if the European Parliament does not, once and for all, resist the temptation to see things in black and white and blame only one of the parties for the regrettable incidents and violent clashes that have occurred since the elections.
Endelig skal jeg meddele, at hr. Cardoso e Cunha i sin egenskab af energikommissær har indvilget i at redegøre for Kommissionens holdning i ovennævnte Trade and Industry Select Committee.
Leaving that aside, I think we can get the two speakers to see eye to eye. It does happen that in this Parliament compromise positions are adopted which are at the same time very partisan ones.
HADJIGEORGIOU det kan konstateres, at der har fundet en overtrædelse af fællesskabsretten sted, vil Kommissionen tage de fornødne og hensigtsmæssige initiativer inden for rammerne af de beføjelser, Traktaten giver den.
GUILLAUME of the international community must be resolute if a peace process is to be carried through to its conclusion in a country suffering from civil war.
FORMANDEN. — Forhandlingen er afsluttet. Afstemningen finder sted kl. 12.30.
It is in this sense that I and the Rainbow Group will vote in favour of this joint motion for a resolution.
FORMANDEN. — Næste punkt på dagsordenen er forhandling under ét om følgende forslag til beslutning:
GUILLAUME (RDE). — (FR) Mr President, once again the problem of Angola is before the House.
HADJIGEORGIOU (PPE). — (GR) Hr. formand, som hr. Pagoropoulos netop sagde, drejer det sig om et forsøg på at bringe et statskontrolleret selskab, der i årevis har kunnet fremvise kollosale underskud, på fode.
A month after we first looked at it, the situation has deteriorated considerably and the elections have been suspended after the first round: some 50% voted for each candidate, but with a slight majority in favour of Mr Dos Santos.
En af de grundlæggende foranstaltninger, som et selskab på internationalt niveau må træffe, når det ikke går godt, er at mindske sine udgifter og at modernisere.
This result is being contested by Mr Savimbi, who takes the view that the elections were not properly conducted and that there were many instances of fraud.
Vilkårene i forbindelse med afskedigelse har stemt overens med Grækenlands arbejdsmarkedslovgivning.
Mr Dos Santos more or less holds the capital, Luanda, while Mr Savimbi controls two thirds of the country.
På trods af det te og på grund af voldsom modstand fra selskabets personale besluttede regeringen efter mange drøftelser med de faglige organisationer at privatisere selskabet i samarbejde med de ansatte.
The peace process which was launched with some difficulty under the leadership of the United States, Russia and Portugal has therefore been interrupted, and a war is raging.
Den har således tilbudt både alle de gamle vogne og de nye, som skal indkøbes, til de ansatte næsten som en foræring. Mange har sagt ja og er to og to blevet ejere af vognene.
GOLLNISCH (DR). — (FR) Mr President, as was very well pointed out here by Mrs Lehideux three weeks ago, the events in Angola show that all over black Africa, the experiments with democracy are failing, either because the winning side refuses to grant rights to the minority, or because the losers in the elections refuse to accept defeat.
Det er rigtigt, at nogle foretrak, at alt blev ved det gamle, så de fortsat kunne hæve deres løn uden at blive overanstrengte, men dette er uacceptabelt. Jeg påstår ikke, at det er de ansattes skyld.
The explanation is a simple one: for the most part, the African states are purely artificial creations which are not based on any kind of national reality and which contain mutually hostile ethnic groups.
Skylden ligger hos de tidligere regeringer og især den socialistiske regering, der regerede Grækenland i syv år og ansatte alt for mange.
Thinking that we can tack our slogan "one man, one vote" or our system of pluralist democracy onto the situation in Africa is an illusion, and a criminal one at that.
Hr. formand, det er efter min mening indlysende, at det udelukkende kan tilskrives græsk partipolitik, at denne sag kommer op i Europa-Parlamentet.
It is the result of the complacency of the European intelligentsia towards Marxism, and of the ending of the Portuguese presence in the region.
WIJSENBEEK (LDR). — (NL) Hr. formand, dette er typisk et problem, hvor man burde sige: Subsidiariteten må anvendes her.
In the present circumstances, there is no chance of the second ballot being held in the near future.
Lad os sige det helt klart: De græske regeringer har i årevis forsømt at træffe virkelige foranstaltninger for bytrafikken i Athen.
Above all, there must be a guarantee that there will be no further outbreaks of violence.
Athen kæmper med en alvorlig luftforurening, som for en meget stor del forårsages af dårlige foranstaltninger, dårlig struktur og virkelig stærkt forurenende, forældede busser.
That can only be achieved, however, if there is greater involve ment on the part of the United Nations: firstly, through holding an inquiry into who is responsible for the post-election violence; and secondly, through guarantee ing the safety of the participants in the negotiations that are required to launch and monitor a new peace process.
At der nu gøres noget ved dette, er så meget desto bedre. De skulle bare have gjort det tidligere.
It should be borne in mind that it will not be easy to make progress in a new peace process, since there are radical elements in both UNITA and the MPLA who will do all they can to torpedo any attempts to bring peace and democracy to Angola.
MATUTES, medlem af Kommissionen. — (ES) Hr. formand, Kommissionen beklager naturligvis situationen for de 8.000 ansatte ved det kommunale trafikselskab i Athen, der efter alt at dømme er blevet afskediget som følge af privatiseringen af de offentlige trafikforbindelser.
VECCHI (GUE). — (IT) Mr President, we were all too prophetic at the last part-session in denouncing the irresponsible attitude of UNITA, which we thought could ultimately lead Angola into bloody civil war again.
Kommissionen henleder opmærksomheden på, at EF-direktiv nr. 75/129 omhandler etablering af mekanismer til forebyggelse af kollektive afskedigelser og begrænsning af de sociale følgevirkninger heraf.
In fact the outcome of the elections, which took place under generally satisfactory conditions, went very much against Jonas Savimbi's movement, and his failure to acknowledge this was the main trigger for the renewed conflict.
På samme linje ligger direktivet om overdragelse af virksomheder — nr. 77/187 — der indfører nogle beskyttelseselementer og -mekanismer.
The conditions for a resumption of the country's peace process now need to be established, whereby it is vitally important for the electoral process to be completed.
Disse omfatter princippet om opretholdelse af arbejdskontrakter i tilfælde af virksomhedsoverdragelse og forbud mod afskedigelser, der udelukkende er begrundet i selve overdragelsen.
Although we would have liked the joint motion for a resolution to have given more prominence to an objective look at UNITA's responsibility, we are convinced that it will now be necessary to exert intense and consistent pressure — and the European Community can play a major role here — on the parties to the conflict, and in particular on Savimbi's movement, so that the peaceful reconstruction of Angola can finally begin in earnest.
MIRANDA DA SILVA (CG). — (PT) Hr. formand, vi har undertegnet og stemmer for beslutningsforslaget om situationen i Angola.
The responsibilities of the international community are therefore great.
UNITA rokker faktisk ved valghandlingen, der af alle de internationale instanser og alle observatører generelt er blevet erkendt retfær dig og fri.
We should not forget that in other regions of Africa too, there are serious tensions and the road to democracy is difficult.
UNITA har forladt den nationale hær, der nu er under opbyggelse og har placeret tropper overalt i landet, angrebet Luanda-lufthavnen og andre lufthavne i et forsøg på at tiltvinge sig magten, da de ikke kunne få den ved valget.
As members of a European Community institution, therefore, it is our duty to seek to ensure that the teaching of democratic principles is maintained and developed, that human rights are guaranteed, and that the differences which distinguish us are respected, so that we may convince the peoples of Africa that progress and stability can take the place of war. The example of Cambodia makes it clear that the involvement
Kommissionen er ikke i besiddelse af de fornødne data til at vurdere, om det foreliggende tilfælde falder ind under ovennævnte to direktivers anvendelsesområde, men hvis
It is regrettable that the current situation in that rich and beautiful country, with which Portugal has such ancient, close and indestructible ties, should make this necessary.
MIRANDA DA SILVA (CG). — (PT) Hr. formand, hr. Capucho har anklaget mig for at være partisk i mit indlæg.
NEWENS (S). — Mr President, since the urgency debate on Angola in November, our worst fears about the renewal of the conflict have been realized.
Jeg vil godt svare ham med at sige følgende: det, jeg gør, er ren og skær at fremsætte et fælles beslutnings forslag — og det sagde jeg også i mit indlæg. Det er klart, at jeg har min egen holdning til visse spørgsmål, men jeg ville ikke undlade at fremsætte et beslutningsforslag.
We should condemn any party responsible for this but I must point out in this context that it is UNITA which has refused to accept the election result, withdrawn from the newly unified Angolan armed forces, seized whole areas of the country and attempted an armed coup in Luanda.
Jeg understregede i mit indlægs begyndelse, at jeg gerne ville fremsætte og stemme for et beslutningsforslag, og netop derfor vil jeg stemme for det.
Over 1,000 people have been killed, more injured and extensive further devastation has been caused.
GOLLNISCH (DR). — (FR) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne gøre opmærksom på, at i henhold til vor forretningsorden kan man i princippet kun tage ordet for en personlig bemærkning ved forhandlingens afslutning.
It is vital to set up an impartial international commission of inquiry into all the incidents, clashes and killings that have taken place since the elections, in violation of the peace agreements.
CAPUCHO (LDR). — (PT) Hr. formand, man støtter ikke fredsprocessen i Angola på konstruktiv måde ved at være partisk.
The people of Angola must return to the ballot box as planned, and they must be able to vote without fear.
Taget den meget alvorlige krise, man oplever i dette land, i betragtning, ville det være beklage ligt, hvis ikke Europa-Parlamentet en gang for alle modstod fristelsen til at give én af parterne ansvaret for de beklagelige begivenheder og voldsomme konfrontationer, der fandt sted under valghandlingen.
The efforts of the international community must be enough to convince the Angolan people that they can vote freely, and that the second round of the elections will not give rise to the violence which resulted from the first. Then, aid must be provided for the reconstruction of the country.
Beslutnings forslaget, der nu er under behandling, begår en stor fejl, når det om end noget uderfinerligt siger, at kun en af parterne har krænket fredsaftalerne, uden at sige noget om den anden part.
Its new-found democratic legitimacy will not last without generous, longterm assistance.
FORMANDEN. — Vi har hørt Deres bemærkning. De har ret.
Our resolution in November called for tough sanctions against any party which sought to renew the war.
Man tager ordet for en personlig bemærkning ved forhandlingens afslutning.
At this stage I believe that we should demand that military supplies and logistic support must certainly be withheld from UNITA.
Det er faktisk et bevis på, at vi har ret, når vi siger, at den fælles beslutnings holdning er partisk og negativ, ja der er intet konstruktivt i den.
At this time the United States should also be asked to honour its pledge to normalize relations with Angola, provided free and fair elections have taken place.
Derfor vil vi stemme imod punkt B, samtidig med at vi gør det til en betingelse, at dette punkt forkastes, hvis vi skal stemme for beslutningen generelt.
We must be prepared to provide aid — above all, medical supplies at this time — to the legitimate Angolan authorities.
Jeg appellerer til kollegerne fra PPE-Gruppen og Den Socialistiske Gruppe om at revidere deres holdning, da det ikke sømmer sig for dem, der går ind for fredsprocessen, at indtage en sådan holdning.
I believe it is vital that the European Community should do everything possible to mobilize international opinion behind the United Nations in any steps that it takes designed to end the hostilities, implement the peace accords and complete the presidential elections.
GUILLAUME (RDE). — (FR) Hr. formand, på ny forelægges problemet Angola for Europa-Parlamentet.
Ladies and gentlemen, Europe has an enormous and long-standing debt to Angola.
En måned efter en første undersøgelse er situationen betydelig forværret og valget afbrudt efter første runde: 50% til hver af kandidaterne, dog fried en let overvægt til hr. Dos Santos.
We cannot abandon that country when it imitates European wars, supplied with European arms, and at a time when long-overdue democracy is starting to be built.
Et resultat, som for øvrigt bestrides af hr. Savimbi, som mener, at valget ikke er foregået på betryggende vis, og at der har været mange tilfælde af svindel.
And democracy has been delayed in Angola partly as a result of our greed and lack of foresight.
Det er ikke helt forkert, for så vidt som en parlamentarisk delegation fra Frankrig under ledelse af hr. Jean Franois Deniaux faktisk konstaterede en hel række uregelmæssigheder.
The Socialist Group supports the joint motion for a resolution as a whole, and it will vote in favour of it — hopefully without exception.
Fredsprocessen, der indledtes under store vanskeligheder under USA's, Ruslands og Portugals ledelse, er derfor afbrudt og krigen raser.
Just when everything seemed to be progressing smoothly, the elections were followed by an outbreak of political blackmail and revenge killings, leading to hundreds of deaths and a return to civil war.
Bortset fra det fortjener det fælles beslutningsforslag vort fulde bifald. Det, der gælder om nu, er at fordømme fredsaftalernes krænkelse og alle voldshandlinger, uanset hvor de kommer fra, samtidig med at vi udtrykker vor sorg over de talrige konfliktofre og vor solidaritet med deres familier.
ROBLES PIQUER (PPE). — (ES) Mr President, although this House adopted a resolution on Angola last month, it is obliged to discuss the serious situation in that country once again, since it recognizes that the form of elections is one thing, but the content of those elections is another.
Formålet med vor beslutning er at kræve omgående indstillelse af fjendtlighederne, således at der på ny kan afholdes valg og navnlig indføres en skrappere kontrol, der kan muliggøre indførelsen af et ægte demokrati i dette land.
There is growing evidence that the elections were seriously flawed, and this is leading to a drastic division of the country — a division which is taking place not on the basis of votes, but that of force.
Det, der gælder om nu, er at kræve, ligesom det fælles beslutningsforslag gør det, en streng international under søgelse, og at regionens lande afstår fra at blande sig i Angolas indre anliggender.
What is of the utmost urgency is the resumption of the peace process and the implementation of the Bicesse agreements: in particular, the holding of the second round of the presidential elections and the establishment of a fully democratic regime in which the government respects the opposition.
Vi kan ikke gå med til, at udefra kommende hærstyrker betræder Angolas jord.
Then, the reconstruction of the country, which is exhausted by war. famine and poverty, must be undertaken as quickly as possible.
CANAVARRO (ARC). — (PT) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, voldsspiralen i Angola efter valghandlingen sidste september har vist os, at freds- og demokratiseringsprocessen forfejlede efter sytten års borgerkrig, og at den ønskede forsoning mellem de stridende parter synes at være vanskeligere end forventet.
We believe that as is called for in the joint motion for a resolution, which we shall support, an aid programme for Angola must be set up, and that — as called for in paragraph 3 of the joint motion — a rigorous inquiry into all the incidents must be held.
FN og de store magter bag Bicesseaftalerne har uden tvivl fejlvurderet betingelserne for afholdelse af valg, uden at visse essentielle
Furthermore, the European Community must participate far more fully than hitherto in the organization and monitoring of the second round of
Det, der er vigtigt nu, er at appellere til alle parter om at gå ind for afholdelsen af anden runde af præsidentvalget, med styrket overvågning fra De Forenede Nationer og en større støtte fra det internationale samfund, navnlig Det Europæiske Fællesskab.
MATUTES, Member of the Commission. — (ES) Mr President, the Commission fully shares the concern expressed in the various motions for resolutions at the recent acts of' violence in Angola, which have resulted
