Jeg vil gerne takke formanden for Kommissionen og formanden for Rådet, fordi de er her ved denne mindehøjtidelighed.
I should like to thank the President of the Commission and the President of the Council for joining us in this particular commemoration.
Det glæder mig også meget at byde velkommen til gæsterne i den officielle loge.
I am also very pleased to welcome the guests in the official gallery.
Delegationen af elever fra et gymnasium i Strasbourg skulle være her — måske kommer de lige nu.
The delega­tion of pupils from a high school in Strasbourg should be here in the gallery — perhaps they are just arriving.
I sidste uge blev Jean Monnet overført til Panthéon i Paris.
for a European defence community, in which Jean Monnet had invested a great deal of energy, filled him with bitterness and disappointment.
I dag ærer Europa-Parlamentet højtideligt mindet om den mand, der troede på et fællesskab af folk, der forpligter sig generøst uden at forlange noget til gengæld.
In naming Jean Monnet a citizen of Europe the European Council wish to immortalize the leading role played by this great man to whose importance many Statesmen all over the world have already paid tribute.
og organisator. Det lykkedes ham at tilvejebringe en umådelig kollektiv indsats, der var et udtryk for de europæiske og amerikanske allieredes solidaritet, mens de gennemgik den værste prøvelse i dette århundrede.
Undoubtedly the lessons of the two world wars and the determination to organize relations between the countries of Europe so as to channel them towards concerted action guided his ideas from then on.
Fra det øjeblik var hans tanker aldrig i ro, og han blev fast besluttet på at udtænke de bedste midler og veje til at sammenknytte de krigsførende nationers kommende skæbne. Var det ikke Jean Monnet, der i forvirringen i 1940 var den første til at stille det dristige forslag, at der skulle dannes en fransk-britisk union?
As far back as the First World War Jean Monnet stressed that common interest should take precedence over national interest in the provision of supplies for the allies.
Churchill stejlede ikke over dette forslag om en sammenknytning af de to lande ved hjælp af en toldunion, en fælles mønt, en fælles regering, en fælles hær, et fælles parlament og lige rettigheder for britiske og' franske statsborgere på hvert af landenes territorier. Tværtimod gjorde Churchill denne tanke til sin og anbefalede den over for den britiske regering.
He succeeded in bringing about an immense collective effort which was an expression of the solidarity of the European and American allies as they went through the worst ordeal of this century. From that moment on his mind was never at rest and he became determined to devise the best means of linking the future destinies of the war ring nations.
Kun det forhold, al den franske holdning blev overhalet af begivenhederne, hindrede tanken i at blive ført videre.
Today the European Parliament is solemnly paying homage to the man who believed in a Community of peoples who commit themselves unstintingly and without demanding anything in return.
Det var mig en glæde at kunne besøge hans hjem den 20. oktober i Houjarray og plante et egetræ for at markere hundredåret.
I was pleased to be able to visit his house on 20 October in Houjarray to plant an oak tree to mark the cen tenary.
Her i Parlamentet mindes vi hundredåret under en mere permanent form ved at døbe værelse 700 om til Jean Monnet- værelset.
Here in Parliament we are commemorating the centenary in a more permanent way by naming Room 700 the Jean Monnet Room.
Tro mod Jean Monnets inspiration og budskab for følger Europa-Parlamentet målene fred og union ved at skabe endnu tættere solidariske forbindelser mel lem Europas folk og regioner.
Faithful to the inspiration and the message of Jean Monnet, the European Parliament is pursuing the objectives of peace and union by creating even closer links of solidarity between the peoples and the regions of Europe.
Samtidig handler det for at styrke Fællesskabets institutionelle og demokratiske struktur.
At the same time it is taking action to strengthen the institutional and democratic fabric of the Community.
Der er næppe nogen i dag, der betvivler, at Jean Monnets konstante opfordringer til os om at gå videre, idet Europas folks eneste fremtid ligger i en union, er blevet bydende for ikke blot den økonomiske, men også den politiske og kulturelle overlevelse.
There can scarcely be anyone today who would doubt that Jean Monnet's constant exhortation to us to keep going, as the only future of the people of Europe lies in union, has become an imperative not only for economic but also for political and cultural survival.
Om end kul- og stålplanen var mindre ambitiøs, var den mere ligetil, og først og fremmest havde den langt mere vidtrækkende politiske virkninger.
Although perhaps less ambitious, the coal and steel plan was more straightforward and, above all, had more far-reaching political implications.
Den overbevisning havde bundfældet sig i sindet hos denne klarsynede observatør, at det, der dengang var uundværlige ressourcer til krigsførsel —kul og stål — måtte slås sammen.
The conviction had grown in the mind of this shrewd observer that what were then the essential resources for waging war — coal and steel — had to be pooled.
I mængden af europæiske efterkrigsprojekter var Det Europæiske Kul- og Stål fællesskab enestående derved, at det var et håndgribeligt mål med forslag om en ny form for institutionel indstilling, der var forskellig fra andre europæiske initiativers interguvemementale natur.
In the ple thora of European postwar projects the European Coal and Steel Community was unique in being a tangible objective which proposed a new kind of institutional approach differing from the intergovernmental nature of other European initiatives.
Men det var først og fremmest ud fra det politiske synspunkt, planen var så dristig, idet den inkluderede Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland, og unægtelig havde Robert Schuman brug for meget mod for at tage ansvaret for en sådan beslutning kun fem år efter afslutningen på en krig, der havde efterladt sig så dybe sår.
But it was above all from the political viewpoint that this plan was so audacious, since it included the Federal Republic of Germany and undeniably Robert Schuman needed a great deal of courage to take responsibility for such a decision barely five years after the end of a war which had left such deep wounds.
Umiddelbart efter de første direkte valg begyndte Europa-Parlamentet med sit forslag til Traktat om en Europæisk Union. Den proces, der til sidst kulminerede med vedtagelsen af Den Fælles Europæiske Akt.
Soon after the first direct elections the European Par liament with its draft treaty on European Union began the process which eventually culminated in the adoption of the Single European Act.
Skabelsen af enhedsmarkedet ved udgangen af 1992 — hjørnestenen i den nye udvikling i opbygningen af Europa — og de nylige beslutninger om styrkelse af solidariteten inden for Fællesskabet, giver, er jeg overbevist om, Europa en ny dimension og indflydelse, der er den indstilling værdig, som Jean Monnet med sit forbløffende fremsyn drømte om, at det en dag ville opnå.
The creation of the single market by the end of 1992 — the cornerstone of this new development in the construction of Europe — and the recent decisions for strengthening solidarity within the Community give Europe, I am convinced, a new dimension and influence worthy of the position which Jean Monnet with his astonishing far-sightedness dreamed it would one day attain.
Den nuværende fase kan ikke betragtes som et mål i sig selv.
Jean Monnet became the first President of the High Authority.
Vi ved alle, at store opgaver tager tid.
Some years later the collapse of the project
Også her udgør Den Fælles Europæiske Akt et betydeligt skridt fremad. Den har forbedret beslutningsprocessen og
This present phase cannot be seen as an end in itself.
Europa-Parlamentets forhandlinger
President vision but at the same time a man of action — a rare combination.
Det lov givningsmæssige samarbejde mellem os og Minister rådet og de mange andre former for samråd vidner om en ny slags relationer mellem de retmæssigt valgte repræsentanter for folkene og dem, der har ansvaret for at forfægte staternes interesser.
The legislative cooperation between ourselves and the Council of Ministers and the many other forms of concertation bear witness to a new type of relationship between the duly elected representatives of the people and those responsible for upholding the interests of the States.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry sagde : » Det bedste, man kan gøre for menneskene, er at forene dem«.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry had said: 'the best work anybody can do is to bring people together'.
Natur ligvis hentede Jean Monnet også inspiration og kraft gennem sin nære tilknytning til hjemstavnen, Cognac-distriktet, med dets ukuelige og arbejdsomme indbyggere, som dog kendetegnedes af denne urørlige, stædige individualisme, som karakteriserer alle europæiske landmænd.
Of course Jean Monnet cer tainly derived his inspirations and strength from his close attachment to his birthplace, the countryside of Cognac, with its indomitable and hard-working inhabitants who are nevertheless characterized by the imperturbable and persistent individuality so typical of all European farming populations.
Jeg har så tit bemærket, at når hver af disse institutioner er besjælet af hensynet til den fælles interesse, kan konflikt vige for gensidig forståelse, og i de fleste tilfælde kan de involverede parter nyde den følelse af succes, der kommer med sejr over mod gang.
I have observed so often that when each of these institutions is guided by concern for the common interest, conflict can give way to mutual understanding and in most cases those concerned can enjoy the sense of achievement that comes from triumph over adversity.
Monnet har været os en god læremester.
Monnet has taught us well.
Uden skygge af tvivl er det, vi for øjeblikket er i gang med, et skridt på vejen mod fuld deltagelse i lovgivnings magten.
Without a shadow of a doubt the present exercise is a stepping-stone towards full-scale legislative power sharing.
Lad os derfor, mine damer og herrer, indgående fordybe os i, hvad denne enestående mand, Jean Monnet, har lært os.
Thus, ladies and gentlemen, let us ponder at length the lessons taught by that remarkable man, Jean Monnet.
Selv har jeg lært tre ting af ham.
Union was always his passion.
For det første at et ideal bedst udtrykkes gennem enkle forslag.
He was only 27 when, in 1916, he persuaded the Allies to organize an effort on behalf of their maritime supply lines.
For det tredje at succes kun opnås gennem vedholdenhed.
He helped to save the economies of Poland, China and Romania.
Vi står i gæld til Jean Monnet, fordi han så klart har bevist sandheden i dette livet igennem.
He headed a series of organizations concerned with Anglo-French cooperation.
Forening var og blev hans lidenskab.
I myself have learned three things from him.
Han var kun 27 år, da han i 1916 overtalte de allierede til at gøre et forsøg på at få forsyninger fra søsiden.
Firstly, that an ideal is best expressed in simple proposals.
Han stod i spidsen for en række fransk-tyske samarbejdsorganisationer.
Thirdly, that success can be achieved only through perseverance.
Han betegnede sig selv som voluntarist og tilføjede, at han var begavet med et klarsyn.
Let us live on to that cause — the cause of the founding fathers of which he was a leading light.«?We have a responsibility to carry it through.
Hans generation skulle komme til at opleve de to store krige, som brød ud på vort kontinent og herfra bredte sig ud over hele verden.
His generation was about to know the two great wars which broke out on our continent and spread from thence all over the world.
Den mand, vi ærer i dag, hører til den lille gruppe af mænd og kvinder, som med deres person lighed og deres handling ikke blot har påvirket historiens gang, men også bidraget væsentligt til begivenhedernes udvikling og verdens udseende.
The person we are honour ing today belongs to the small and select group of men and women who, by the force of their personality and by their actions, not only influenced the course of his tory but also significantly altered the development of events and the shape of our world.
Måske accepterede han denne post, fordi den realiserede en af Antoine de Saint-Exupé-rys ideer, som han selv havde gjort til princip.
He character ized himself as willing, but I would add that he pos sessed the gift of clear-sightedness.
De europæiske lande, har han skrevet, er for små til at kunne sikre deres befolkninger velstand og den nødvendige sociale udvikling, da dette forudsætter, at de europæiske stater opretter et forbund eller skaber en europæisk enhed, som skal være en fælles økonomisk enhed.
Combining those two properties, Jean Monnet, as he himself said, soon perceived that without doubt the selfishness of both people and nations usually stems from an imperfect grasp of the problem at issue, and from the tendency of one side or the other to see only the side of their immediate advantage.
Efterhånden som denne ide mod nedes, kom han frem til den konklusion, at der ikke kunne ske nogen fremskridt i Europa, hvis ikke man opnåede en permanent forsoning mellem Frankrig og Tyskland, og denne forsoning skulle danne grundlag for opbygningen af Europas Forenede Stater. Han var ikke utopist.
Having cast aside this innate human fault, and therefore being devoid of selfcentredness, and also having abandoned the usual and acquired tendency of those in authority to divide their fellow-men in order to rule them, Jean Monnet applied a different principle which he himself des cribed as follows: 'though it may not always be expedient to tell everybody everything, what is essential is to say the same thing to everybody.
Han vidste, hvilken modstand, han ville møde på sin vej.
That is the price of trust, and I never achieved anything without trust'.
Han vidste, at denne modstand svarede til omfanget af den ændring, han ville gennemføre. Han var imidlertid over bevist om, at modstand og uenighed samtidig var det sikreste tegn på, at vi faktisk er på vej mod
This integrity of character, added to his other virtues, enabled him to be the first to perceive that there could be no peace in Europe if the nations reconstituted themselves exclusively on the basis of national sovereignties. eignties.
Men han så rigtigt.
But he was clear-sighted.
Han skabte institutioner, der stadig er nøglen til succes, og han havde ikke kun en metode, han havde også en vision.
He created institutions which are still the key to success. And he didn't just have a method — he had a vision.
Hvad drejede det sig om, nu da der er gået mere end tredive år?
What was it all about nearly 30 years ago?
Hvad drejer det sig stadig om i dag?
And what is it all about today?
Om at overbevise europæerne om, at de skal handle i fællesskab i en ramme, der er valgt frit og er politisk effektiv.
Well, it is about convincing the Europeans to pull together in a framework that has been freely agreed to and is politically effective.
Jean Monnets metode er under den synsvinkel en uerstattelig erfaring, og han havde lejlighed til — i øvrigt meget slående — at overbevise os om det under den seje kamp, han førte på det retlige og det institutionelle plan under udarbejdelsen af Kul- og' Ståltraktaten.
The Monnet method, here, is irreplaceable experience — and he had the opportunity of convincing us about it, very strikingly, with the tireless battle he waged over the law and the institutions in the drafting of the Coal and Steel Treaty.
Hvad er det da for en uerstattelig erfaring, som jeg kalder Jean Monnet-metoden?
What is this irreplaceable experience that I call the Monnet method?
Den er baseret på fire principper, der, som De vil have bemærket, er ledende for mange af os i dag.
Well, it is based on four principles which, you will note, are still guiding principles for many of us today.
I maj 1950 fremlagde han sine tanker om Kul- og Stålsamarbejdet, den velkendte Schuman-plan, og fremhævede : » Der findes kun en vej til vor succes : konkret og beslutsom handling, koncentreret om et omfangsmæssigt begrænset, men vigtigt punkt, som kan skabe en forandring helt fra bunden og lidt efter lidt ændre omstændighederne omkring alle problemer«.
In May 1950 he put forward his thoughts on the Coal and Steel Community, the well-known Schuman plan, and stressed that: 'there is only one way to achieve a specific and decisive activity, concentrated at a point limited in area but strategically located, which will bring about a fundamental change and gradually alter the conditions of our problems as a whole'.
Han anvendte således sine principper, dvs. om at forene menneskene, om at løse problemerne, før man gik videre, og om at gennemføre noget, som man hidtil havde betragtet som urealisabelt, og herved kunne han realisere det første Europæiske Fællesskab, Kul- og Stålfællesskabet.
Thus, by applying his principles, in other words bringing people together, solving problems at each stage before going on to the next, and achieving something which we had until then considered impossible, he was able to make a reality of the first European Community, the Coal and Steel Community.
Med sin skarpe dømmekraft forstod han, at dette ikke var tilstrækkeligt, eftersom han selv havde erklæret, at det ikke drejede sig om at forene stater, men mennesker.
With his acute judgement he perceived that this was not enough, since he himself had said that our task was not to unite governments but people.
Han vidste imidlertid, at hvis intet kan gen nemføres uden menneskene, kan intet vare ved uden institutioner, for menneskene kommer og går, mens institutionerne lever længere end alle menneskers ambitioner for livet.
He knew, however, that while nothing can be done without people, equally nothing can endure without institutions, because people come and go while the lifetime of institutions is potentially much longer than that which any man can hope for.
Hvis institutionerne derfor er udformet på den rette måde, kan de akkumulere og videregive hver enkelt generations visdom til de følgende.
For this reason, if the institutions are properly set up, they can accumulate and pass on the wisdom of each generation to the next.
Jeg tror, Jean Monnet ville være blevet glad, hvis han havde kunnet se, at de tre institutioner i De Europæiske Fællesskaber i dag ærer den første bor ger i Europa og hans værk.
I believe that Jean Monnet would be happy if he could know that the three institutional bodies of the European Communities are here today paying honourable tribute to the memory of Europe's first citizen and his works.
Ikke på grund af en personlig tilfredsstillelse, som han igennem hele sit live viste, at han ikke søgte, men fordi han ville få bekræftet sandheden i sine ord om, at så længe man forsøger, kan man ikke sige, at en ting er urealisabel.
Not as a personal satisfaction, that satisfaction which throughout his life he showed that he disdained, but because he would witness the truth of his own words that no matter how long it takes, one can never say that something is beyond achievement.
Og det bedste bevis på, at Den Europæiske Union var realisabel, er genfødelsen af den europæiske ide og vor kurs gennem disse daglige problemer via vore institutioner mod Den Europæiske Union.
The best proof that European Union can be achieved is the resurgence of the European ideal, our journey through the difficulties we live through day by day, and through our institutions, towards European Union.
Allerførst nødvendigheden, den vågnende bevidsthed hos medlemsstaterne om, at en fælles aktion kan gøre det muligt for dem at løse de politiske, økono miske og sociale problemer, de står overfor.
First of all, there is the need for the States to realize that joint action can help them find better solutions to their political, economic and social problems.
Derefter, når denne nødvendighed er erkendt, opnåelse af konsensus.
Second, if this need is agreed to, a consensus has to be sought.
Han mente, at de faktiske forhold var herre over os, men han vidste at udnytte dem, når lejlighed bød sig.
Jean Monnet thought that facts were our masters, but he knew how to use them when the opportunity arose.
Han sagde : » De begivenheder, der gør indtryk på mig, og som beskæftiger hele min tænkning, fører mig til generelle konklusioner om, hvad der skal gøres.
He said, and I quote: 'The events which strike me and occupy my whole mind lead me to general conclusions about what has to be done.
Derpå er det omstændighederne, der bestemmer øjeblikket, som foreslår eller bringer mig løsningerne.
Then circumstances take over, suggesting or bringing me the means of achieving it.
Jeg kan vente længe på de gunstige omstændigheder. I Cognac kan man vente.
I can wait for the right circumstances for a long time.
Det er den eneste måde at få et godt produkt på« Og endelig, ud fra metodesynspunktet: Han lagde sig ikke fast på de institutionelle mønstre, der allerede var i brug i vore stater, han var i udpræget grad funktionalist.
And lastly, as far as method is concerned, he did not go for any institutional set-up already being used in our States.
Han søgte en ad hoc-model — og jeg kommer straks tilbage til EKSF. Dette forklarer i øvrigt, sagt i parentes, den polemik, han dengang førte med dem, der i ånden fra Haag-kongressen i 1948 ville påtvinge det en bestemt institutionel model.
He was a functionalist par excellence.
Når vi her ærer denne føfste europæiske borgers minde, kan vi sige, at vi vil leve op til udfordringen om at bygge Europa på det fundament, han lagde, fredens og fremskridtets Europa, et Europa med åndelig og materiel velfærd for dets borgere, som via Dem, deres valgte repræsentanter, med taknemmelighed sender en tanke til den store europæers minde, til Jean Monnets minde.
In celebrating the memory of this first European, we can say that we will take up the challenge of building on the foundations he laid for Europe, a Europe of
Et mål allerførst.
Debates of the European Parliament
Delors miske og monetære union — så skal man fastlægge nye regler, så har man brug for en ny traktat.
All Jean Monnet's obsessions — in the positive mean ing of the term — are to be found in the exemplary battle he fought during the drafting of the Coal and Steel Treaty.
nøgleressourcer fælles: kullene og stålet, magtens redskaber.
May I say here that a community of law such as the European Community is neither free union in the matrimonial sense of the term nor self-service in the trading sense of the term.
Det samme gælder for Euratom.
It is a unit which involves us all.
Der er mange artikler, kun lidt fælles politik, en appel om samarbejde, undertiden i så vage begreber at vi må gå til Domstolen for at få udlagt, hvad det var, Rom-Traktatens fædre ville.
And if there were another step to take tomorrow — I am thinking particularly here of the next step towards European Union, which is economic and monetary union — then we would need new rules and a new treaty.
Dette mål er de seks indbyrdes sam menknyttede målsætninger, som vi så tit taler om i debatterne i Europa-Parlamentet.
There are lots of articles, few common policies and an appeal for cooperation, sometimes couched in such vague terms that we need to go to the Court of Justice to find out just what the Fathers of the Treaty of Rome meant.
Det er det, mine damer og herrer, der er Jean Monnets bidrag.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is what Jean Monnet gave us.
Sådan er kontinuiteten, det mønstergyldige i det, han har efterladt os.
That is the continuity, the exemplary nature of his heritage.
Men han havde også en vision, og uden at misbruge citater er det med et citat fra ham, jeg vil slutte.
But he also had a vision and, without wishing to go in for too much quotation, I should like to end with one of his.
Han sagde : »Europas forening har for civilisationen en række vidde, der går ud over sikkerhed og fred.
He said that, for civilization, the unification of Europe goes beyond security and peace.
