Sikkert ved forøgelse af institutionernes demokratisering, men der skal også allerede nu tages hensyn til følgerne af Fællesskabets sandsynlige fremtidige udvidelser og til de proble mer, der knytter sig til de små medlemsstaters repræsentation.
I am pleased that it has been possible — though with considerable difficulty — to introduce some flexibility into our negotiations on these three countries with regard to sectors that are sensitive in the European Community, as has been apparent on several occasions during today's debate.
Lad mig begynde med at svare på det første.
I made this proposal in April, when it was rejected.
På baggrund af alle de møder om tysk enhed, jeg har deltaget i som talsmand for Parlamentet sidste år, står det mig meget klart, at hverken den tyske regering eller opposition ønsker nogen forøget repræsentation i Kommissionen, Rådet eller ved Domstolene, og det må vi tage deres ord for.
I am particularly pleased that now, in September/October, it is being greeted with enthusiasm and that we have been invited to work out some practical measures in this respect.
Hvad angår den anden påstand om, at 99 tyske parlamentsmedlemmer her i Parlamentet kunne for vride vort arbejde, så se Dem bare om her i salen.
I do not think that the Soviet Union can be covered by the G24 package along with all the other countries, as it were.
Vi sidder ikke i nationale delegationer.
The scale is too large, and the problem too different for that.
Vi sidder her som politikere, der repræsenterer et politisk ideal.
There is little or none of this for the moment.
Det er sådan, vi nu bør se på sagen!
The aid is largely confined to the food sector.
Det føderale Europa, som vi tilstræber, bliver sikkert ikke til på én gang, men der kan til december i Maastricht tages et afgørende skridt.
I would then like to say something about the question of Romania, to which various Members have referred.
Jeg håber, at der i dag på dette vanskelige punkt kan tages et afgørende skridt såvel i de nye tyske borgeres som i hele Fællesskabets interesse.
It was my intention — and I suggested this to the Council after the coup in the Soviet Union — to begin exploratory discussions with a view to concluding European agreements with Bulgaria and Romania.
Vi bør behandle spørgsmålet om tysk enhed på samme måde, som Parlamentet begyndte at gøre det i begyndelsen af sidste år.
I feel that in the present circumstances it would be wise to suspend talks with Romania until we know more about political developments there.
Vi skal behandle det inden for en europæisk kontekst, og vi opfordrer Rådet i Maastricht senere i år til at gøre det samme.
The talks with Bulgaria will begin, the intention being to launch the negotiations once those we are now having with the three other countries have been completed.
Zeiler (PPE). — (FR) Fru formand, kære kolleger, det spørgsmål, vi i dag står overfor, er ikke at finde ud af, om de nye tyske delstaters seksten millioner borgere snart skal repræsenteres i Europa-Parlamentet.
I can well imagine that, as we conclude European agreements, the financial implications of our relations with the countries concerned will be assessed within the framework of these agreements. So I am not concerned with form.
Det bliver de selvfølgelig i alle tilfælde.
The aim must be the continuity of the European Community's efforts.
Det er det, det drejer sig om!
I have two comments to make on this.
Det drejer sig om, at vi ikke må lade menneskene fra det tidligere DDR i stikken.
The first concerns the complete or partial financing of transfrontier activities with Phare money.
Når jeg holder mig for øje, hvordan vor institutionelle struktur ser ud, konstaterer jeg: Vi har Kommissionen, det er Fællesskabet.
My colleague Mr McMillan has himself been considering the extent to which transfrontier coordination might be achieved in border areas with the help of the European Community's structural funds.
Disse borgere må være rimeligt repræsenteret i Par lamentet!
But I feel at this stage that it is going rather too far to issue mandatory instructions, as it were, along these lines.
Hr. Nordmann sagde noget tankefuldt og noget, der er værd at huske på: »Tilliden mellem nationerne må bevares.« Jeg forstår meget godt disse tanker.
There is a movement towards cooperation between Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia, for example.
Blot: Vi medlemmer i Europa-Parlamentet er ikke repræsentanter for vore nationer, men derimod for de mennesker, der har valgt os, og som giver os
Poland's Social Affairs Minister came to tell me this week that the three countries have launched a cooperative project concerning the social aspects of the process.
Det egentlige og vanskeligere spørgsmål, der melder sig, er, om de seksten millioner nye tyske borgeres tilstedeværelse skal medføre en forøgelse af den tyske parlamentariske repræsentation.
After the coup in August the three countries immediately contacted each other to consider a joint position on what was happening in the Soviet Union.
Er svaret nej, betyder det, at vore tyske kollegers 81 mandater fremover skal repræsentere 77 millioner indbyggere mod tidligere 61 millioner.
This led to a request for multilateral political contacts with the European Community, and the Commission made some suggestions about this to the Council.
Uafhængigt af de nuværende kollegers personlige skæbne sker der her en formindskelse af deres repræsentations tæthed og måske også en slags benægtelse af yderligere seksten millioner borgeres indtræden i Det Europæiske Fællesskab.
So there is movement towards cooperation, but I feel it is going rather too far to force countries that only escaped the strictures of compulsory cooperation a short time ago, to force them with offers of money, as it were, or at least to urge them very strongly to seek cooperative
Måske også en form for afvisning af at drage de politiske konsekvenser af de i Europa indtrådte forandringer.
There was the environment, a call for the smoother elaboration of training programmes, the human factor was also heavily emphasized, and
Det drejer sig overhovedet ikke om en stærkere repræsentation af tyskere i Rådet eller i Kommissionen!
PRESIDENT. — The next item is the interim report (Doc.
Ingen ønsker endnu en tysk kommissær, endnu en dommer ved Domstolen, endnu et medlem af Revisionsretten eller en anden vægtning i den fremtidige europæiske centralbank. Alt dette kom mer overhovedet ikke i betragtning for os.
A3-152/91) by Mr De Gucht, on behalf of the Committee on Institutional Affairs, on the European Parliament's guidelines for the draft uniform electoral procedure for Members of the European Parliament.
Hvis det ikke er tilfældet, falder dette tilbage på Parlamentet selv og svækker Parlamen tet.
It is one of the few areas in which the European Parliament can take the initiative on its own responsibility and where no decision can be taken unless it is based on a proposal from the European Parliament.
Vi undgik med største omhu enhver form for for holdsmæssig beregning eller henvisning dertil. Til kolleger som f.eks.
What can we do to improve the safety of nuclear power stations in Central and Eastern Europe ? And so on.
Men selvfølgelig, hvis den tyske regering siden da havde sagt til os, at den i intet tilfælde ville ændre de vægtede stemmer, Tysklands repræsentation i fællesskabsinstanserne, sådan at forstå at regeringen, som den bør, accepterer, at antallet af tyske med lemmer af Europa-Parlamentet forøges, ville situationen være en anden.
I do not think it would be right for countries which are making a great effort to take matters into their own hands in their new-found freedom to have priorities forced on them by the donor of the money.
Det er ikke vor opgave at træffe afgørelse herom.
But they are responsible for their own work.
Det er grundene til, fru formand, at de franske medlemmer af Den Socialistiske Gruppe stemmer for betragtningerne med opfordringen til Ministerrådet, hvis fejhed med hensyn til at tage stilling til sagen jeg misbilliger. Medens vi accepterer indskærpelsen til Ministerrådet om hurtigst muligt at tage stilling til sagen, kan vi imidlertid ikke stemme for den artikel, der indeholder en præcis henstilling.
As regards privatization, I am well aware of the problems arising in this connection, but let me say one thing : the course for which most countries have opted, beginning with what we call small privatization, meaning in particular efforts to create small and mediumsized firms in the service sectors and so on, and proceeding with large privatization gradually, is, I feel, the right way.
Derved vil vi nemlig overskride vore beføjelser, og vi ønsker ikke at skabe præcedens for samtlige europæiske forsamlinger.
In political terms privatization in these countries is sometimes easier today than it can be in countries with a more sophisticated economic structure.
Nu mente hr. Gil-Robles — også dette skal tages alvorligt, og i princippet er vi absolut enige med ham — at det er bedre at etablere en generel proportionalitet. Det ville sikkert være i Europa-Parlamentets interesse.
In all past elections to the European Parliament we have found that one of the most frequent questions raised by electors, by citizens is this : how is it possible that the elections are held in completely different ways in each of the twelve Member States ?
Derfor er det bedre, at vi løser dette spørgsmål om den tyske repræsentation isoleret.
I would also refer you to the debate we have just had on the German question, in which it was said, rightly in my humble opinion, that, as there are now 16 million more citizens, there must be better representation.
På tysk siger man undertiden — og det bør man huske på: Det bedre — det ville her være proportionaliteten — er ofte det godes fjende.
We also find the same lack of proportionality in our present system.
Lad os derfor gøre det rigtige og det gode i menneskenes interesse, og lad os tage diskussionen om de generelle principper på et senere tidspunkt!
Over two years ago the European Parliament therefore asked me to draw up a proposal for a uniform electoral system.
(Bifald)
Quite the contrary.
Såby (S). — (FR) Fru formand, kære kolleger, at give efter for nemheden, sympatien, det er nemt.
In the past ten years the European Parliament has repeatedly tried to do this and has failed each time.
Men jeg tror, at Parlamentet i dag begår en fejl, en alvorlig fejl. Man bør huske på, at Fællesskabets grundlæggere gik ud fra det, der skaber ligevægt i alle fællesskabsinstitutioner: Et land, én stemme.
In my proposal I have therefore attempted to adopt a far more modest approach and to confine myself to a few general guidelines for this uniform electoral system, a few general principles that should guide the electoral systems of the various Member States for European elections.
Intet land skulle i nogen institution have større vægt end de øvrige.
These principles are very simple, very clear, and form the basis of democracy.
Men jeg tror, at vi vil begå en alvorlig fejl.
But these conditions form a fixed part of the decisions we have taken.
Således siger man til os, at vi skal foretage en forholdsmæssig beregning.
I believe the European Community must maintain these conditions in the future.
Vi er ikke et enkelt land, en enkelt kultur, og kan derfor ikke gennemføre vore talmæssige beregninger.
I undertake to keep the lines of communication open where they are open and to improve them wherever possible.
De, der nu siger til vore tilstedeværende kolleger: »Selvfølgelig skal der være yderligere atten tyske medlemmer«, gør de sig klart, at dersom vi i en institution beslutter, at en medlemsstat, uanset hvil-
I hope we will be able to join in consultations on how to spend the money we have on Central and Eastern Europe to the best possible effect.
Lad os mindes vor glæde derover.
Firstly, there is proportionality.
Endelig forsvandt en af de store årsager til splittelse og uretfærdighed i Europa. Straks efter besluttede Europa-Parlamentet inden for rammerne af sine beføjelser at indbyde atten folkevalgte repræsentanter fra Østtyskland til at komme til Parlamentet. Det var en rimelig beslutning.
Secondly, there is the fact that we are increasingly living in a European Community which is not just a European Economic Community but also a Community of the people, that we must have European citizenship and that it is therefore logical that every citizen of the European Community, every citizen of a Member State should be able to vote and stand for election in the country where he lives, where he is a resident.
Underudvalget om Den Tyske Samlingsproces skal have tak for at have foreslået det. Det var påkrævet. Vi er glade for at have disse østtyskere iblandt os.
PRESIDENT. — We shall now vote on the request for an early vote to wind up the debate on the Phare programme.
Vi reagerede altså inden for vore beføjel sers grænse.
What, Mr President, is excessive about that ?
Ikke mere.
What is anomalous about that ?
Vi var helt på det rene med, at fastsættelsen af antallet af medlemmer henhører under regeringerne.
And yet I find that the largest group in this Parliament, whose ambition it is to guide the activities of this Parliament— and sadly it does so in
I forbindelse med beslutninger om antallet af medlemmer fra nye medlemsstater har Parlamentet for øvrigt aldrig tidligere grebet ind.
The motions for resolutions will be put to the vote at 6.30 p.m. on Thursday.
Såby ken, det være sig Frankrig eller England, skal have overvægt, da vil der lidt efter lidt danne sig en opposition i Fællesskabets offentlige opinion.
DE GUCHT untouchable, separating all the States and leading to huge variations in representation, up to a ratio of ten-to-one difference between the proportion of votes per seat from one State to another.
Hjælpen betinges af garanti fra IMF, der forlanger en ødelæggende deflatorisk politik.
Of course, complete proportionality cannot be expected, but nor can insulting levels of non-proportionality be tolerated.
Derfor mener jeg, at Parlamentet vil begå en fejl. Lad os bevare stabiliteten og institutionernes sammenhængskraft, som har bestået deres prøve på verdensplan.
When we speak about balances, it seems that we forget that we ourselves spoke of a federal vocation, and the federal vocation says that in a Lower Chamber, like this one, there should be proportionality of deputies, yet in the future Upper Chamber, i.e. the Council of Ministers, representation will be weighted by State.
Lad os opretholde den ligevægt, hvor efter ingen er mere end de andre, uanset hvem de måtte være, hvilke institutioner der måtte være tale om.
very many situations, because other groups go along with it — that this group refuses to express an opinion on such proposals and simply says : the time is not ripe for us to state our views on this.
Lad os bevare denne kohærens i Fællesskabet.
There is in fact no need at all for a common electoral system.
Derfor sætter jeg spørgsmålstegn ved effektiviteten.
We do not even want to say anything about the principles.
Hvem kan her bekræfte, at resultaterne bliver positive med hensyn til beskæftigelse, levedygtig produktion og teknisk modernisering?
If necessary, we will discuss the financing of the elections, as if that was what we should be appealing to the public with when they talk about European elections, as if that was what we must appeal to the public with when we want there to be genuine democracy in this Parliament and in the European Community.
Jeg oprøres over Lord Brittan og hr. Andriessens erklæringer, der under påskud af arbejdsløshed i øst anbefaler EF at mangedoble sin import af landbrugsprodukter, stål og tekstilvarer, medens arbejdsløsheden i vest behandles med ligegyldighed.
I find that spineless. I feel a large group like the Socialist Group — I will name it — must have the courage to state its opinion on these proposals, that it should have the courage that is indeed reflected in most of the programmes of the parties from which they come.
Jeg kan ikke acceptere, at de angriber det offentliges energimonopol i både øst og vest udelukkende til fordel for store private virksomheder.
They should have the courage to say that they advocate a proportional system and want greater similarity of the systems in the various Member States.
Alt dette er i strid med den gensidige interesse og udviklingen af disse landes interne markeder. keder.
I say this with all the more insistence because I am a convinced champion and a defender of these principles.
Flere tyskere, enig, men på betingelse af, at man forhøjer alle kvoterne, så Parlamentet kan bevare den for Fællesskabet grundlæggende ligevægt.
Since we ourselves cannot change this share-out and the number of seats, we are trying to limit ourselves to what can be done overnight.
Formanden. — Forhandlingen er afsluttet.
As long as we fail to do this, at least this Parliament should not delude itself and get bogged down as it has in the past — remember the Seitlinger and Bocklet reports.
Vi går nu over til afstemningen om anmodningen om afstemning snarest muligt om de tre beslutnings forslag.
There is a whole range of matters relating to electoral reform, as mentioned outright in the Treaty, such as eligibility, the right to active suffrage, deadlines, electoral wastage, legal recourse, etc., which could be legislated upon and which we could do something about.
(Afstemning snarest muligt vedtoges)
For over ten years this Parliament has been calling for real powers.
Samarbejdet med øst skal forhandles mellem part nere og ikke mellem en magtblok og lande i en håbløs situation.
For over ten years it has been said that the European Community cannot call itself a democracy if we do not have a Parliament with genuine legislative powers.
Jeg er tilhænger af meget aktivt at arbejde på en føderal opbygning, som alle europæiske folk har fordel af, uanset deres systemvalg. Samarbejde kan kun blive attraktivt for befolkningerne i øst, hvis vi siger: Lad os først konsolidere EF-blokken.
A Parliament that has the ambition, and rightly so, to be a genuine Parliament and to have legislative powers must also have the courage to solve difficult problems and to state its views, even on matters which affect everyone in this Parliament directly and may put the future of everyone in this Parliament to the test.
Det er en illusion at tro, at man kan bekæmpe faren for nyliberal afdrift i hele Europa, hvis man accepterer den hos os.
It is unacceptable that we should put aside what we have been doing for over ten years.
Afstemningen om selve beslutningsforslagene finder sted i morgen, onsdag, kl. 17.00.
It is our responsibility, it is our duty to find a solution now.
I lige så høj grad, som jeg er imod en for tidlig udvidelse af EF, anser jeg dybtgribende reformer af EF for nødvendige, så de nationale befolkninger direkte kan knytte samarbejdsforbindelser i decentraliserede institutioner, og så de sociale rettigheder og kriterierne for offentlige tjenester kan fremmes i vest som i øst-vest samhandelen.
BRÚ PURON (S). — (ES) Mr President, Mr De Gucht, who should be thanked for his efforts — and we shall be seeking further efforts so that this matter can be concluded properly —, has just said that one of this Parliament's few real initiatives, according to Article 138 of the Treaty of Rome, is to fight for a uniform electoral procedure.
Herzog (CG). — (FR) Fru formand, kære kolleger, folkene i øst giver udtryk for et umådeligt stort ønske om samarbejde. Vi bør række dem hånden.
BOURLANGES (PPE). — (FR) I must first pay tribute to our rapporteur, Mr De Gucht, for the patience and tireless efforts to bring about compromise in the Committee on Institutional Affairs and between the groups that he had to deploy in producing this report.
Parlamentet har pligt til at kræve mere end information, det bør drøfte en virkelig konstruktiv politisk linje.
Truth to say, when we consider the various subjects that have to be covered by this uniform electoral procedure, the results that have emerged are disappointing.
Arbejde på ny effektivitet inden for de offentlige sektorer, arbejde på fælles selskaber til industriel og teknisk udvikling, oprettelse af øst-øst betalingssystemer, så solide nationale valutaer kan hævde sig i stedet for at bidrage til, at dollar og mark trænger frem, som vektorer for en skrækkelig økonomisk dualisme, det, kære kolleger, er hovedlinjerne i de forslag, som jeg på gruppens og egne vegne fremsætter til Deres overvejelse.
I wonder whether this initiative, this gift, is not a poisoned gift, since the membership of this Parliament — which is a Parliament, to use Mr Donnelly's words, which must reflect the ideologies and aspirations of Europeans themselves, and not States and nations, on living standards and economic matters, etc.— must be purely proportional, on a base of 340 million people or, at least, 200 odd million active electors.
Den bliver kun udformet og givet dråbevis efter ultracentraliserede metoder.
Yet we know this is neither the case nor is it possible.
Det er ikke kun dens omfang, men i endnu højere grad dens anvendelse, der volder vanskelig hed. EF og 24-gruppen tegner sig for størstedelen.
Because, although we are called upon to reform our little electoral procedure, what we are given is
Desama (S). — (FR) Fru formand, kære kolleger, de første hjælpeaktioner som led i PHARE-programmet går tilbage til begyndelsen af 1990.
As the rapporteur was reminding us, proportional representation, on which we should all be united, is an issue on which we are divided and the principle of a commitment on it is not being accepted by the largest group in the House.
Efter et års virke må det konstateres, at mange problemer bremser programmets gennemførelse. Den generelle
Giving Community citizens the right to vote in their place of residence clashes with the very special and in some
Desama konstatering, som vi kan gøre, virker undertiden negativ i betragtning af de mangfoldige funktionsforstyrrelser.
So we are moving towards a system that leaves Member States room for manoeuvre, with freedom to grant or refuse residents the right to vote.
Budgetmæssigt er der brug for en konklusion: Midlet er ikke tilpasset de forfulgte mål.
So what are we left with ? The right to vote and stand for election at 18 ?
Når PHARE-aktionen formentlig i 1993 skal fornyes, bør man efter vor opfattelse overgå til budgettets kategori 3 for at undgå de årlige politiske valgs vilkårlighed.
We support you, we have supported you, but we are deeply disappointed there was so little that could be agreed on and included in your report.
Aktionens flerårige karakter skulle muliggøre det, så det forhindres, at dette instrument påvirkes af den finansielle usikkerhed, der knytter sig til faren for annullation af bevillingerne som i 1990.
One thing at least is certain: our group remains firmly committed to proportional representation and affirmation of the principle on which it is based.
Inden for det videnskabelige og tekniske samarbejde har Parlamentet kunnet konstatere, i hvor høj grad de trufne valg synes at unddrage sig simpel logik.
WURTH-POLFER (LDR). — (FR) Mr President, the report we are debating today is obviously the outcome of enormous efforts by the rapporteur to bring about a consensus, and I respect that.
Derfor har vi i overensstemmelse med et kinesisk ordsprog, der siger, »at det er bedre at tænde en prås end at forbande mulm og mørke« overdraget det til STOA-gruppen at foretage en undersøgelse, der skal fastslå, hvilken rolle fællesskabsinvesteringerne skal spille på forsknings- og udviklingsområdet.
However, it contains two proposals with which I am unable to agree, since I cannot escape the feeling that they are not really conducive to harmonious integration of the Community. munity.
Endelig vil jeg som sidste punkt bemærke, at PHARE bør omfatte alle mellem- og østeuropæiske lande.
There remains the problem — debated earlier on, but I now return to it, ladies and gentlemen — of the allocation of seats as between Member States.
