Det vigtigste problem eller med andre ord analysen af situationen efter valutastormen, vi kan også sige katastrofen, har fuldstændig overvældet os.
The com munity system has been based on the implicit, on sector by sector integration, subsequently receiving the seal of political authority.
Der går ikke en dag, uden der er demonstrationer i Italien og i andre lande, hvor der appelleres til ansvarsfølelsen ikke blot blandt de regerende, men også parlamenterne, inklusive Europa-Parlamentet.
This is the Monnet system, which has been very effective, but which may possibly have served its purpose.
Hvad skal man sige?
The moment has come to be explicit.
Over for denne situation følte vi, det var nødvendigt at kræve mulighed for en genforhandling, eller i det mindste en tilsidesættelse af de strenge betingelser for ratificeringen af Maastricht-Traktaten.
In making this transition, it is quite acceptable that some groups or countries incline more towards a confederate model and others towards an intergovernmental model, but this must be explicit and a compromise must be struck through debate between European leaders and public opinion.
Men den førende gruppe, på dette stadium af Fællesskabets historie, det vil sige den fransk-tyske gruppe, har sagt »nej« og marcherer ufortrødent videre efter parolen »Maastricht eller døden« til trods for den vanskelige situation, lande som Italien eller Storbritannien befinder sig i.
This compromise will very likely not embrace the essence of the Community nor its entire future, but solid foundations can be laid to forestall the two threats which loom.
Endvidere uden at man har realiseret den solidaritets- og samordningspolitik, som man så mange gange har ønsket sig og fremført i Parlamentet.
The principle of subsidiarity as it is stated — but which is not defined — leaves it to States or, in the final instance, to legal entities to determine in each case who holds competence.
I ovennævnte dokument fastsættes der visse fælles mål for De Tolv, og det forhold, at de er fælles for De Tolv, øger deres betydning.
The text contains certain objectives shared by the Twelve, and the very fact that they are common to the Twelve increases their importance.
For det første videreførelse af processen vedrørende ratificering af Maastricht-Traktaten på de i Traktaten fastsatte betingelser og den opnåede enighed om, at først efter afslutningen af denne ratificeringsproces kan der tages fat på spørgsmålet om Fælles skabets udvidelse, der er en af vor tids historiske opgaver for Europa.
Firstly, to maintain the ratification process of the Maastricht Treaty itself and to do so in accordance with the terms — whether the dates are stated or not — established in the Treaty and it is further established that, once these ratifications have been achieved, moves will be made towards initiating the widening process which is one of the historic tasks for Europe in today's world.
Fællesskabernes Europa er kernen i et Europa, der har udvidet sig på demokratisk vis; således er der sket en demokratisk udvidelse af Europa med åbningen i Mellemeuropa, og desuden udøver Fællesskabet nu stor tiltrækning på de tidligere EFTA-medlemslande.
Community Europe is the core of a Europe which has widened democratically: a democratically useful widening of Europe has occurred with the opening up of Central Europe and a simultaneous move was made towards the Community by the former EFTA countries.
Der etableres ligeledes en række generelle principper, heri blandt nødvendigheden af at arbejde for en tilnærmelse mellem Fællesskabet og den offentlige opinion i med lemsstaterne og de suveræne repræsentanter for befolkningerne, dvs. de nationale parlamenter.
This was also decided in Maastricht. A series of general principles was established, including the need for the Community to draw closer to European public opinion and to national sovereign institutions, such as parliaments.
Hr. Giscard d'Estaing har — efter min mening med rette — påpeget, at subsidiaritetskriteriet ikke skal fastlægge beføjelser.
President Giscard d'Estaing has pointed out — correctly, in my opinion — that the criteria of subsidiarity does not a determine competences.
Disse skal fastlægges på grundlag af politisk vilje, og det er nøjagtigt der, vi nu befinder os; det er nu, det skal fastsætts, hvilke beføjelser der henhører under Unionen, og hvilke beføjelser der fortsat skal henhøre under medlemsstaterne.
Com petences have to be determined by political decision, this being the stage we have now reached: we should deter
Vi mener, at hvis det er sandt, og det er det jo, at Danmark har kunnet forelægge en hvidbog, hvori det har beskrevet sine betingelser for at kunne tiltræde Maastricht-Traktaten, kan det samme gøres af andre stater og andre
Firstly, it has halted a pessimism that had been growing in Europe over recent months as a result of monetary turbulence and of the uncertainty felt by our citizens; it did not solve problems, but it did generate a degree of confidence in the future.
MORAN LÓPEZ usikkerhed; mødet løste ikke problemerne, men det skabte en vis tillid til fremtiden.
IN THE CHAIR: MR BARZANTI Vice-President concrete issues can be decided in Edinburgh.
Det må imidlertid understreges, at dommen over Det Europæiske Råd bliver meget hårdere, såfremt der ikke på mødet i Edinburgh træffes beslutning om at løse en række præcise problemer.
However, when the Edinburgh meeting is held, our judgement will have to be much more severe if the Council fails at that time to resolve the very concrete issues that are pending.
Der er brug for en virkelig europæisk debat, og det må konstateres, at en sådan debat ikke finder sted for tiden.
PUNSETI CASALS (LDR). — (£5) Mr President, I find it difficult to be as pessimistic as some of the previous speakers.
Der finder en britisk debat sted, og der har tidligere fundet en yderst vigtig fransk debat sted, der efter min mening havde en katarsiseffekt på det politiske liv i Frankrig.
If we are to be realistic, we must agree that, given the current economic and monetary disarray, it was genuinely irresponsible to leave the Birmingham meeting without a consensus conclusion.
Men debatten på fællesskabsplan udskydes fra detene Europæiske Råd til det andet, til trods for at vi alle er overbeviste om, at den hidtil gennemførte konstruktion lider under al for stor afstand til de offentlige meninger.
And, if the conclusion really was to be guaranteed, the concrete problems and their concrete solutions should have been put aside and the focus laid once more upon the underlying principles of the Treaty of Maastricht.
Opsummerende kan man sige, at mødet i Birmingham var en lejlighed til at få De Tolv til at genoptage dialogen, hvilket var særdeles nyttigt, men at det med hensyn til resultater ikke var meget andet end en god og nødvendig scenografi.
In short, the Birmingham meeting was an opportunity to gather the Twelve at that particular moment in time and it was useful for the purpose of reopening dialogue but, as for results, it was an adequate and necessary mise en scène but little more.
Der blev rejst en række problemer, men ikke fundet nogen løsning.
Issues were raised but not resolved.
Sluterklæringen var alt for vag, der blev ikke foretaget en dybtgående analyse af Europas økonomiske krise, og der blev ikke truffet afgørelser om de mest polemiske spørgsmål i forbindelse med Traktaten — det gælder f.eks. spørgmålet om Danmarks stilling inden for Traktatens rammer og aftalerne om den finansielle pakke.
The wording of the final declaration was excessively vague, no in-depth analysis was made of the economic crisis in Europe and no decisions were taken on the most controversial pending points of the treaty — from how to reincorporate Denmark in the treaty, to agreements on the financial package.
Hvis vi vender blikket mod de positive sider, om end der også her findes halvskygger, er der for det første den kendsgerning, at der klart blev givet udtryk for vilje til at videreføre ratificeringsprocessen med henblik på at få den afsluttet snarest muligt uden genforhandling af den eksisterende tekst og under overholdelse af de fastsatte frister.
But, from a positive angle, although there are areas of greater or lesser clarity, I would like to say, firstly, that the will was clearly stated to continue the treaty ratification process as soon as possible, without interfering with the present text and within the time frame stipulated.
For det andet erkendelsen af at der ikke kan blive tale om europæisk fremskridt, uden at borgerne inddrages, og at dette kræver information om et så væsentligt kapitel som europæisk statsborgerskab samt større gen nemsigtighed i fællesskabsinstitutionernes arbejde.
Secondly, I think that it may be deemed a success that recognition was given in the declaration to the fact that there can be no progress in Europe without involving citizens and that this requires that they be elucidated on the important point of citizenship, and that mention was made of the need for greater transparency in community institutions.
Jeg må dog her tilstå, at erklæringen på dette punkt forekommer mig at være alt for spagfærdig.
The important thing is to draw the correct conclusion from the difficulties encountered in the ratification pro cess.
Hvad der er behov for er netop at åbne dørene, når Rådet fungerer som lovgiver, dvs. som part i beslutningsmyndigheden i spørgsmål vedrørende EF-lovgivningen, hvori den anden part er Parlamentet.
The governments of Member States, Mr President, have achieved at the European level what they have failed to achieve by any means within their respective countries.
Der er en række præcise formål med en sådan debat.
That is, ignoring parliaments and, to a large extent, public opinion.
For det første den generelle, politiske og psykologiske mål sætning at mindske afstanden mellem Fællesskabet og borgerne.
It is far more important at this point to extend the principle of co-decision by the European Parliament to include all community legislation, than to quibble about the exact date that the treaty should come into force.
For det andet er vi nu nået til, om ikke et konstituerende punkt, så dog det punkt, hvor skridtet fra implicit til eksplicit skal tages.
In this battle, far more than in any other, the true Europeanists who support political union will show themselves.
Fællesskabssystemet har været baseret på implicitte målsætninger, på integration sektor for sektor, en integration, der efterfølgende krones med en politisk myndighed.
There was a time when it sufficed merely to ask whether a person was in favour of more competences for the Commission.
Det er Monnet-systemet, og det har båret mange frugter, men formodentlig har det nu udspillet sin rolle.
If they were, this was obvious proof that the person was in favour of the European project.
Tiden er nu inde til at eksplicitere.
Nowadays, things have changed.
Og i den forbindelse er det fuldt legalt, at nogle lande fore trækker en forbundsstat og andre et samarbejde mellem regeringer, men det er under alle omstændigheder nød vendigt, at der sker en eksplicitering, og at man på grundlag af debatten mellem de europæiske politiske ledere og de offentlige meninger når frem til et kompromis.
One may now readily question a speaker's good faith, at a time when pro-European declarations fail to be backed by a demand for transparency, or by extension of co-decision-making powers.
Et sådant kompromis vil sandsynligvis ikke være udtømmende for Fællesskabets essens, lige så lidt som det vil være udtømmende for dets fremtid, men det kan etablere et fast grundlag for fjernelse af de to overhængende farer.
But I have to say that I consider the statements in the declaration to be over-cautious.
Subsidiaritetsprincippet overlader i den gængse brug af termen — det defineres nemlig ikke — til staterne eller eventuelt de retslige instanser i hvert enkelt tilfælde at afgøre, hvem der har kompetence på et givet område.
It is all well and good to open Council deliberations to the public, but it makes nonsense to restrict this to future work programmes.
Dette er ensbetydende med at indføre endnu mere kasuistik i Fællesskabets liv, hvilket er det absolut modsatte af klarhed.
Deliberations should be open when the Council is acting as legislator, hence as one of the elements of co-decision, of which the European Parliament is the other.
Ganske vist nævnes det, at Europa-Parlamentet spiller en vigtig rolle, men der siges intet om, hvori den består.
Moreover, mention is indeed made of the important role played by Parliament, but it is not explained how.
I den forbindelse vil jeg gerne insistere på nødvendigheden af, at de af Parlamentet vedtagne beslutninger omsættes i praksis, og navnlig at Rådet ikke vedtager lovgivnings mæssige tekster, der er blevet forkastet af Parlamentet.
In this regard, I would like to emphasize the importance of putting the resolutions adopted by this Parliament into practice and, most particularly, that the Council should not adopt legislative texts that have previously been rejected by the Parliament.
Fru formand, afslutningsvis beder jeg til, at det inden topmødet i Edinburgh lykkes at få en fortløbende debat i gang, hvorunder der uden forbehold gøres rede for de forskellige holdninger, og som resulterer i en afklaring og en kompromisløsning.
BOISSIERE (V). — (FR) Mr President, Mr President-in-Office and Commission President, acute popular mistrust over the Maastricht Treaty, and unease about the current model for European integration stem from a legitimate feeling that ordinary people are not sufficient ly involved in what is going on and that they are made the victims of negative environmental and social develop ments caused by Community policies.
Endelig finder jeg det overraskende, at der kun i en bisætning siges et par ord om den økonomiske og sociale samhørighed og nødvendigheden af inden for den kortest mulige frist at vedtage Delors-pakke II, på trods af at rådsformanden tidligere har meddelt, at dette spørgsmål vil få prioritet i Edinburgh.
Finally, I am surprised that only passing reference is made to the subjects of economic and social cohesion and the need to adopt the Delors II package at the earliest opportunity, although the President-in-Office of the Council has already told us that this will be a priority in Edinburgh.
OREJA AGUIRRE (PPE). — (ES) Fru formand, hr. rådsformand, hr. kommissionsformand, topmødet i Birmingham burde have givet vægtige og overbevisende svar på de problemer, der vækker bekymring blandt europæerne. Det gjorde det imidlertid ikke.
Given this background, what we wanted from the Birmingham Summit was not that it should influence econ omic logic in the Community — we are not dreamers — but that at long last it energetically tackle the democratic deficit, simplify and make more open the working of the Community.
Mødet fungerede som rådslagningsforum og må betragtes som et overgangsmøde før mødet i Edinburgh.
My own group, tongue-in-cheek, has tabled a text lavishing fulsome praise on the Council.
Birmingham mødet har nok haft en positiv virkning på to områder.
We say we look forward to the day when this vision becomes reality!
For det første vendte det til dels den pessimistiske holdning, der er blevet mere og mere udtalt i Europa i løbet af de sidste måneder som følge af valutauroen og borgernes
I am talking specifically about a possible weakening in the Commission, for which reason certain extreme elements in the declaration should be more fully elucidated.
Desuden finder jeg nogle af konklusionerne fra Edinburgh foruroligende, idet de risikerer at påvirke den institutionelle balance.
Adding to the citizen's disillusion is the feeling that the aim no longer is to win back his confidence but simply to ensure parliamentary ratification in the United Kingdom — a timid and minimalist goal.
Jeg tænker her på den eventuelle svækkelse af Kommissionen, og nogle af punkterne i erklæringen bør således præciseres yderligere.
In conclusion, Madam President, we are at a critical stage in the project of bringing institutions closer to the citizen.
Til gen gæld glæder det mig, at man ønsker at genoptage den interinstitutionelle dialog, i særdeleshed vedrørende subsidiaritetsprincippet; og jeg nærer tillid til, at der i dette spørgsmål kan gøres fremskridt på det kommende møde
Let us try to ensure that transparency and democracy are not mere words, but a reality which is given form in the concrete proposals within the reach of all Europeans.
OREJA AGUIRRE mellem de tre institutioner — Rådet, Kommissionen og Parlamentet — inden topmødet i Edinburgh.
BOISSIERE plification of Community legislation, strengthened collaboration with the national parliaments.
Afslutningsvis vil jeg gerne understrege, at vi nu er nået til et kritisk punkt med hensyn til tilnærmelsen mellem institutionerne og borgerne.
But don't let us forget that all of this has long been demanded by the European Parliament, not only in its resolutions but also in its meetings with the national parliaments at the Rome assizes.
Vi må sørge for, at gennem sigtighed og demokrati ikke blot forbliver ord, men bliver en realitet, der udmøntes i konkrete forslag, som er inden for alle europæeres rækkevidde.
I am convinced that if we really want to restore people's confidence, we first have to regain confidence in ourselves here in this Parliament. You cannot separate the two.
Det er lige så mange tegn, som ville have givet borgerne mulighed for at konstatere, at deres budskab var blevet forstået.
Even members of the European Council have been blessed by Mother Nature with a pair of ears and a mouth.
Men — og det må vi rigtignok tilstå — selv om jeg vender og drejer teksten til konklusionerne fra Birmingham-topmødet i alle retninger, frygter jeg i høj grad, at borgerne ikke deri vil finde konkrete elementer, der opfylder deres forhåbninger.
Why, then, do they continue to talk about the ratification of this Treaty, which has been rejected in one place, and which in France gained fewer votes in favour than abstentions and votes against put together, and which would fall flat in Mr Hurd's Great Britain, if there were a referendum there today?
Det ergrunden til, at min gruppe i denne mødeperiode har truffet den beslut ning at forelægge en tekst, der er præget af humor i anden grad, en tekst, hvori vi aldrig så ofte har komplimenteret Rådet.
Why do they not use their ears to listen to the dissatisfaction in Europe?
Vi siger som konklusion til det, at vi håber, at denne opfattelse af tingene en skønne dag vil blive omsat til virkelighed!
Why do they not put forward concrete proposals for European co-operation which answer these criticisms?
Til borgernes lede føjes nemlig en fornemmelse af, at målet: at genvinde borgernes tillid, synes at have veget pladsen til fordel for et andet mål, der på samme tid er yderst beskedent og vanskeligt opnåeligt: det mål at redde den parlamentariske ratifikation i Det Forenede Kongerige.
I hope therefore that very quickly we can resume our efforts to associate enlargement with a much needed democratization, speedily adopt a uniform electoral pro cedure and, last but not least, continue with our draft constitution so that it will be ready for presentation to the people at the European elections in 1994.
PUNSETI CASALS (LDR). — (ES) Hr. formand, jeg har lidt svært ved at dele den pessimisme, der gives udtryk for i nogle af de foregående indlæg.
GUILLAUME (RDE). — (FR) Mr President, after read ing the Birmingham communiqué and after hearing the President-in-Office's statement — though clever it says nothing new — one wonders what has been achieved by this special meeting of Heads of Government unless it was to shore up the beleaguered British Prime Minister, hard pressed by his own troops over Europe.
Ud fra en realistisk betragtning må vi acceptere, at på baggrund af den aktuelle uro på det økonomiske og valutariske område ville det have været rent ud sagt uansvarligt at afslutte mødet i Birmingham uden en konklusion, som alle de deltagende kunne skrive under på.
We propose that a new summit meeting be called, together with associated meetings for national organisations, in order to give Europe a new agenda in which the watchwords would be open and democratic decision making, instead of the EC Treaties' concealment and unchecked bureaucratic rule.
Og hvis man satsede på at nå frem til en fælles konklusion, måtte man nødvendigvis udsætte behandlingen af specifikke problemer til senere og i stedet endnu en gang tage fat på principperne i Maastricht-Traktaten.
Open to all European countries, instead of an exclusive club for The Twelve, sustainable economic development instead of headlong growth, jobs and common, minimum rules to protect the natural and the working environments instead of full harmonisation, which no national assembly can amend, which no democratically elected assembly in any EC country can alter.
Der loves os — i Edinburgh — fremskridt med hensyn til gennemsigtighed, forenkling af EF-lovgivningen og et udvidet samarbejde med de nationale parlamenter.
When we each take decisions, we are democrats, when we take them jointly, democracy is forgotten.
Det er derfor, jeg ønsker, at vi meget hurtigt må genoptage vor kamp for at kæde udvidelsen sammen med den nødvendige demokratisering, hurtigt vedtage en ensartet valgmåde og endelig genoptage vort forfatningsudkast, så det kan blive forelagt for befolkningerne i forbindelse med valget til Europa-Parlamentet i 1994.
ALAVANOS (CG). — (GR) Mr President, perhaps the President-in-Office of the Council knows that more than in any other country, Birmingham was discussed in Greece, and perhaps he also knows that there have been significant political effects from Birmingham, specifically upon the governing party in Greece.
Det vigtigste er nu, at der drages de rette konklusioner af de vanskeligheder, der har vist sig i forbindelse med ratificeringsprocessen.
There is nothing definite about Maastricht's sensitive issues, issues that were revealed in the only two referenda organized, one in Denmark, the other in France.
Disse vanskeligheder skyldes manglen på gennemsigtighed og på demokratisk balance.
Nor is there anything about subsidiarity except that on a prag matic basis responsibilities will be shared between Member States and the Community.
Af meget større betydning end om Traktaten træder i kraft en måned før eller senere er det at arbejde på at udvide princippet om Europa-Parlamentets deltagelse i Rådets beslutningsmyndighed vedrørende lovgivningsmæssige spørgsmål til at omfatte hele fællesskabslovgivningen.
That will not reassure the farmers, whose fate is secretly decided by negotiators, nor workers in textiles, cars or iron and steel so badly hit by the Commission's supine attitude to free trade — its concessions are not matched by our American and Japanese competitors.
I et sådant slag vil man i langt højere grad end i andre spørgsmål kunne genkende de virkelige pro-europæere, der går ind for Den Politiske Union.
That said, let us acknowledge the realism shown by our Heads of Government in statements that recognize people's unease at the march of technocracy and the growing gap between their own daily concerns and those of European decision makers.
I dag har situationen ændret sig. En sådan oprigtighed kan let anfægtes i dag, såfremt de pro-europæiske tilkendegivelser ikke ledsages af et krav om gennemsigtighed og udvidelse af Parlamentets beføjelser til at deltage i Rådets beslutningsmyndighed.
Bearing that in mind, I would like to ask the President-in-Office — and I expect an answer in his second speech: what measures has the British Presidency taken or is about to take to implement the Lisbon conclusion, or will the only measure adopted during its six months in office be this trade regulation?
