Kort sagt kan medlemmerne være forvissede om, at Kommissionen fuldt ud deler Europa-Parlamentets bekymring for den kurdiske befolknings dramatiske situation, og med hensyn til fremtiden vil jeg gerne bekræfte, at vi er rede til — i overensstemmelse med hr. Cravinhos opfordring — at forpligte os til fortsat at yde al vor bistand ved at udnytte vore finansielle muligheder til det yderste og — som der anmodes om i spørgsmålet — opfordre det internationale samfund til at gøre ligeså.
Here means and ways need to be found — and I am very grateful for what the Council and the Commission have already said here — to provide not only purely humanitarian aid but also to supply fuel and, if at all possible, simple building material. The Kurds living there keep repeating that they are prepared to help themselves if they are provided with the most basic means to do so, and in my view that is even more important than purely humanitarian aid.
(Bifald)
(Applause from the S-Group)
Afstemning om anmodningen om afstemning snarest muligt finder sted ved forhandlingens afslutning.
We strongly urge them to continue along that road, especially since the Kurdish people will try to pave the way to democracy through elections in every region.
Lenz (PPE). — (DE) Hr. formand, som ordfører for min gruppe kan jeg fuldt ud tilslutte mig, hvad den forrige taler sagde.
LENZ (PPE). — (DE) Mr President, on behalf of my group I can certainly endorse what the previous speaker said.
I sidste instans er det kurdiske folks skæbne, som det nu lever spredt over fem stater, en del af den europæiske histories uheldige arvegods, som vi i dag i mange områder ser blodige spor af.
After all, the fate of the Kurdish people, who live in five different states, is part of the sad legacy of European history whose wounds are reopening in many areas today.
Navnlig kurderne i Irak har i fjor igen med fuld vægt måttet føle følgerne af den irakiske diktator, Saddam Husseins herredømme og krige.
The Kurds in Iraq in particular once again felt the
Lenz uomgængeligt nødvendigt med en fortsættelse af den humanitære bistandsaktion og også af andre bistandsaktioner, hvis disse mennesker skal overleve i denne situation.
MENDES BOTA armed forces and the PKK — beyond the border as well — continues to sow death and destruction.
Det er endvidere påtrængende nødvendigt, at den internationale kontrol bliver videreført, for ellers vil diktatoren med sikkerhed atter få fuldstændig frie hænder.
To this is added the fact that the more general commitment made by the international community to the Kurdish people during the Gulf War has not yet been converted into a concrete measure to protect and support the living conditions and human and national rights of the populations of Kurdistan which meets their needs.
Det er et folk, der gennem tiderne har måttet savne et land, men som har egen kultur, eget sprog og nationale følelser.
It is a people which has been deprived of a country by history, but which has its own culture, language and national feeling.
Allerede i 1920 mislykkedes det for den i Sèvres-traktaten stadfæstede kurdiske republik at få status som uafhængig nation. Folkeforbundet, som ikke længere eksisterer, definerede også et kurdisk territorium beliggende i Mossoui-regionen og gav den kurdiske befolkning speciel status med kulturel, administrativ og sproglig autonomi.
Already in 1920 the Kurdish republic laid down in the Treaty of Sevres failed to gain the status of an independent nation.
Men da det kurdiske folk gjorde oprør for at kræve aftalerne overholdt, blev oprøret knust med hjælp fra den britiske Royal Air Forces fly.
However, at the time of the independence of Iraq, the revolt by the Kurdish people demanding that the agreements be enforced was put down with the help of planes from the British Royal Air Force.
I 1988 brugte Saddam Hussein giftgas mod dem.
In 1988, Saddam Hussein used poison gas against the Kurds.
Halabja er symbolet på de kollektive grusomheder, der er begået i pacificeringens navn, med tilsidesættelse af alle internationale konventioner, med bombninger foretaget af vestlige fly, der dræbte i flæng børn, kvinder og gamle.
Halabja is a symbol of the collective atrocity which was committed in the name of pacification, against all international conventions, with the bombing being carried out by Western planes and women, children and old people being killed indiscriminately.
Samtaler med folk, der er vendt tilbage fra disse områder, og beretninger fra hjælpeorganisationer vidner om de af Irak gennemførte ubehageligheder og afspærringer.
This time, we are looking at an attempt by the tyrant of Baghdad to decimate the Kurdish people by starvation and cold.
Det rammer store og også små hjælpeorganisationer og deres forsendelser, og den, der ikke skåner sit eget folk mod hungernød, selv om midlerne hertil kunne findes, holder sig slet ikke tilbage fra at bruge vold mod folk, som han anser for sine fjender.
The European Community, which was conspicuous by its absence on the occasion of the Gulf War, hesitating to condemn the massacres, and delaying to adopt an effective defence of human rights, now has the opportunity to redeem itself by mounting an emergency operation and supplying essential provisions to the Kurdish people.
Den militære trussel og de seneste dages militære aktioner vidner om, at det på ny er kommet til tragiske begivenheder, hvor det som altid fortrinsvis er kvinder, børn og gamle, der bliver ofre for denne hårde magtpolitik.
The first measure concerns the need to adopt effectively and generously all those emergency aid measures which are necessary to guarantee relief to the populations struck first by repression and then by famine, cold and hardship.
Krænkelser af menne skerettighederne står stadig på dagsordenen.
The European Community, using in addition new instruments and new budget allocations, must carry out much more thoroughly than it has done so far the role which it is its function to fulfil.
Vi opfordrer derfor det internationale samfund, de tyrkiske og iranske organisationer til ikke at slække på deres støtte til hjælpeorganisationerne, hvad enten dat nu drejer sig om Røde Kors, Røde Halvmåne eller andre organisationer.
The second measure concerns the need to apply pressure on the governments of Iraq, Iran, Turkey and the other states in the region, so that the military repression of the Kurdish populations ceases and that the process of recognition of the legitimate rights of the Kurdish people be commenced.
Ganske vist er der sikkert et stærkt behov for en samordning af aktionerne bl.a. for at kunne modstå politisk tryk.
It is clearly not up to us to decide what the most just and effective solutions should be to guarantee the future of the Kurds.
Nu oplever vi endnu et forsøg fra tyrannen fra Bagdad på at kue det kurdiske folk gennem sult og kulde.
ROTH (V). — (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, people are still dying in Iraqi Kurdistan.
Det Europæiske Fællesskab, der glimrede ved sit fravær i Golfkrigen, tøvede med at fordømme massakrerne og var for længe om at påtage sig et effektiv forsvar af menneskerettighederne, har nu lejlighed til at gøre det godt igen ved at organisere en nødhjælpsaktion, ved at give den kurdiske befolkning de nødvendige varer.
The situation is still a dramatic one and has been made even more difficult by the internal embargo, the blockade imposed by Saddam Hussein since 23 October last year, which, incidentally, is in clear breach of Security Council Resolution No 688.
Vi opfordrer også alle organisationer af kurdere i andre lande, også i landflygtighed, men navnlig PKK, til at opgive deres terroraktioner for ikke at skade den tyrkiske støtte til kurderne i Irak og de internationale aktoner.
Today we urge, firstly, that the UN mandate be extended until the safety of the people of Iraqi Kurdistan is guaranteed, democracy has been introduced and the Kurds obtain autonomy.
De kurdere, der bor der, gentager nemlig stadig, at de er beredt til at hjælpe sig selv, hvis man giver dem et minimum af midler i hænde, og det er efter min mening endnu vigtigere end en rent humanitær bistand.
Secondly, we call on the European members of the Security Council to urge that the security zone is extended as far as the 35th parallel as an effective means of preventing further attacks by Iraqi troops.
På nødhjælpsområdet tvivler vi på, at Det Europæiske Agentur, som Kommissionen for nylig oprettede, allerede vil være i stand til at arbejde i marken.
In the area of emergency aid, we doubt whether the European Office for Emergency Aid which was recently set up by the Commission is yet in a position to act on the ground.
Men det bør ikke forhindre Det Europæiske Fælles skab i at fremme nødhjælpsaktioner, helst bistået af FN og andre internationale humanitære organisationer.
But this must not prevent the European Community from making progress in the concrete measures to assist the Kurdish people, preferably with the help of the UN and other international humanitarian agencies.
Kommissionen bør straks udarbejde en handlingsplan for nødhjælp, der kan genoprette økono mien i regionen, i samarbejde med de lokale myndigheder som anført i det beslutningsforslag, vi har underskrevet.
The Commission must draw up a sustained aid programme immediately which will revitalize the region's economy, in cooperation with the local authorities, as the compromise resolution, which we also support, has defended very well.
Det er det internationale samfunds opgave at starte en politisk offensiv, der tvinger Saddam Husseins regering til at respektere menne skerettighederne og minoriteternes rettigheder, navn lig gennem overholdelsen af FN's resolution nr. 688.
However it is up to the international community to start a political offensive which confronts Saddam Hussein's regime with its obligation to respect human rights and the rights of minorities, particularly by complying with UN Resolution 688.
Det er ikke nok, at Fællesskabet deltager i de diplomatiske delegationer, ej heller at det placerer sig i forreste række i bekæmpelse af tyranniet gennem bekvemme afstemninger i siddende stilling.
It is not enough for the Community to be present in diplomatic missions or at the forefront of the fight against tyranny just by the effortless voting of seated politicans.
Vi opfordrer dem kraftigt til at gå videre i denne retning, så meget des mere som det kurdiske folk i denne region vil forsøge at afholde valg for at slå ind på vejen til demokratiet.
Thirdly, the Commission calls on the Member States to do everything in their power to continue providing humanitarian aid, but also calls specifically for immediate aid for reconstruction.
Mendes Bota (LDR). — (PT) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, det kurdiske folks tragedie er af gammel dato: tyve millioner mennesker, som nu er spredt over Tyrkiet, Irak, Iran, Syrien og det tidligere Sovjetunionen, undertrykt af international politiks
The reconstruction of the destroyed villages, schools, hospitals and water supplies and of agriculture are a basic precondition for an autonomous, independent future for the Kurds.
Vecchi (GUE). — (IT) Hr. formand, det forpinte kurdiske folk er stadig offer for de værste lidelser.
VECCHI (GUE). — (IT) Mr President, the martyrised Kurdish people continue to be the victims of the most terrible sufferings.
I Irak krænker Saddam Husseins regime ikke blot Sikkerhedsrådets resolution nr. 688, men også civilisationens mest elementære principper, idet det spærrer for forsyninger af fødevarer, lægemidler og energi til de områder, der er beboet af kurder.
In Iraq Saddam Hussein's regime — in violation not only of UN Security Council Resolution No 688 but also of the most basic principles of civilized behaviour — continues its blockade on fuel, food and medical supplies to the regions populated by Kurds. On the Turkish side, the military action of the Turkish
Fra den tyrkiske side fortsætter de tyrkiske væbnede styrkers og PKK's krigshandlinger, også over græn-
Fourthly, it was weapons produced in Europe that made the war against the Kurds possible in the first place and people are still being killed daily by mines in that region.
Vecchi eftertrykkeligt, at der straks skal ydes bistand til genopbygning.
ROTH advocate more funds and more use of the funds and more control over those funds.
Alene det italienske firma Valsella i Brescia har leveret 9 millioner landminder til Saddam Hussein.
9 million mines to Saddam Hussein.
Det er den mindste godtgørelse herfor og vor moralske pligt straks at udsende desarmeringseksperter, der kan hjælpe med at uskadeliggøre disse forfærdelige, men neskeforagtende våben.
It is the least compensation we can offer and it is our moral duty to send out mine-deactivating experts at once to help disarm these terrible, inhumane weapons.
Endnu en gang har NATO-medlemsstaten og ansøgeren om medlemskab i EF overtrådt folkeretten, og børn, kvinder og mænd er døde.
Once again this NATO member and EC candidate has violated international law which has led to the death of men, women and children.
For det sjette hilser vi det af et fuldt hjerte velkomment, at der er bebudet valg i april i det irakiske Kurdistan, hvilket er et klart tegn på, at det kurdiske folk har et kraftigt ønske om demokratisering.
Six, we wholeheartedly welcome the elections in Iraqi Kurdistan scheduled for April as a clear sign that the Kurdish people are urgently seeking democratization.
Vi vil foreslå, at der bliver sendt en officiel delegation fra Europa-Parlamentet til at overvære dette valg.
We suggest that the European Parliament should send out an official delegation to observe the elections.
For det første er der behov for effektivt og rundhåndet at træffe alle de foranstaltninger til nødhjælp, som er nødvendige for at sikre bistand til denne befolkning, der først er blevet ramt af undertrykkelsen og derefter af hunger, kulde og nød.
EPHREMIDIS (CG). — (GR) Mr President, with a certain smugness Mr Matutes has read to us from his account books about the type and quantity of aid given to the perpetually persecuted Kurds.
Det Europæiske Fællesskab bør, bl.a. ved nye ordninger og bevillinger, spille den rolle, der tilkommer det, helt til bunds og i højere grad, end det hidtil er sket.
However, the reality is harsh, the needs are enormous, and this aid is not even enough for rudimentary survival, and much less so for some form of creative organization of their lives.
Den anden aktion vedrører behovet for at udøve tryk på regeringerne i Irak, Iran, Tyrkiet og andre stater i denne region, for at de skal ophøre med den militære undertrykkelse af de kurdiske befolkninger og igangsætte en proces til anerkendelse af det kurdiske folks legitime rettigheder.
Besides, it is impeded by military repression and blockades — leaving aside in that connection just what is happening in Iraq, let us remember what Turkey is doing with its aerial bombardments inside Iraq's territory, where it is even murdering women and children.
Det tilkommer naturligvis ikke os at træffe afgørelse om, hvilke løsninger til sikring af kurdernes fremtid er mest retfærdige og effektive.
Let us remember what Turkey is doing against the Kurds in South-eastern Turkey.
Til slut vil jeg gerne over for Massoud Barzani personlig forsikre, at vi vil gøre alt, for at hans kamp for, at kurderne får en fremtid med fred, demokrati, frihed og selvbestemmelse, også får politisk støtte fra os.
Finally, I want to assure Massud Barsani personally that we will do our utmost to muster political support among our Members for his struggle to ensure that the Kurds can look forward to a future of peace, democracy, freedom and self-determination.
Humanitær bistand er vigtig og nødvendig, men det er ikke nok.
Humanitarian aid is important and necessary, but it is not enough.
På gensyn her, Massoud Barzani.
I look forward to seeing you here again soon, Massud Barsani !
Roth (V). — (DE) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, der dør fortsat mennesker i det irakiske Kurdistan.
And let us not use the excuse of action by the PKK ; rather, let each of us remember what he was doing during the years of Nazi occupation for the freedom of his country. We were defending a fundamental right of our peoples.
Lane (RDE). — (EN) Hr. formand, jeg glæder mig over komissærens meget klare redegørelse her i dag, for det er betydningsfuldt, at vi ved, nøjagtig hvor vi står med hensyn til Fællesskabets reaktion på kurdernes problemer.
LANE (RDE). — Mr President, I welcome the Commissioner's very clear statement here today, because it is important that we know exactly where we stand in relation to the Community's reaction to the problems of the Kurds.
Den første bemærkning, jeg vil gøre, er at Europa-Parlamentet må se at finde ud af, hvad dets rolle skal være i dette område.
The first point I would make is that this Parliament must sort out its own role in that particular region.
Der er en interessekonflikt mellem vor delegation til golfstaterne og vore andre delegationer, og desværre sam arbejder vi ikke godt nok indbyrdes ved behandlingen af de kurdiske problemer fordi kurderne en spredt over fire lande.
There is a conflict of interests between our delegation to the Gulf states and our other parliamentary delegations, and unfortunately we do not have enough cooperation amongst ourselves in dealing with the problem of the Kurds, since the Kurds are spread between four countries.
Vi har drøftet det kurdiske folks problemer ved mange lejligheder i det forgangne år, og jeg er glad for at kunne sige, at vi fuldt ud støtter De Forenede Nationers resolutioner nr. 688, 606 og 612.
We have discussed the problem of the Kurdish people on many occasions over the past year, and I am glad to say that we are in total support of United Nations Resolutions 688, 606 and 612.
Vi må imidlertid gå lidt længere end blot fromt at støtte resolutionerne.
But we have to go a little further than just piously supporting resolutions.
Vi må handle til fordel for den 1,5 million flygtninge, der lider alvorligt i øjeblikket. Det glædede mig at høre om de 500 mio ECU, der er
We must take action which will benefit the 1.5 million refugees who are suffering very badly at the moment.
Lane til rådighed, og som synes at udgøre 60% af den samlede bistand, der ydes til kurderne i dette område.
I was glad to hear of the ECU 500 million which are available, and which appear to be 60% of the total aid being given to the Kurds in that region.
Det viser, at Fællesskabet er klar over problemerne.
This shows that the Community is aware.
Det spørgsmål, jeg ville stille, er, om disse beløb vliver brugt bedst muligt for flygtningene for tiden?
The question I would ask is : is that money being put to the best use for the refugees at the moment ?
Hvad brug bliver der gjort af de ekstra 700 mio ECU, der er blevet bevilget til vinterprogrammet for de kurdiske flygtninge?
What use is being made of the extra ECU 700 million which has been allotted to the Kurdish refugees for the winter programme ?
Efter hvad jeg forstår, er forholdene om vinteren meget strenge.
As I understand it, the conditions in winter are very severe.
men vi må ikke glemme, at det kurdiske problem ikke er begrænset til Irak. Det er beskæmmende i dag at se, hvorledes såvel Kommissionen som Rådet fisker i rørte vande og dølger deres ansvar med humanitær bistand til de irakiske kurdere, mens de helt glemmer det kurdiske problem i hele dets rækkevidde.
It is urgent to help the Iraqi Kurds, victims of political genocide by the Iraqi government against this people, but we do not forget that the Kurdish problem does not end in Iraq.
Hvorfor fordømmer de ikke, at den tyrkiske regerings politik over for kurderne også fører til folkedrab?
Why do they not also denounce the policy of the Turkish government towards the Kurds as genocide ?
Måske fordi det er ubekvemt at kritisere en af EF's allierede.
Perhaps it does not suit them to criticize a Community ally ?
Man kan ikke tale om humanitær bistand og samtidig se bort fra det kurdiske folks politiske rettigheder.
It is not right to talk about humanitarian aid and deny the political rights of the Kurdish people.
Europa-Parlamentet bør i dag frem for alt kræve, at det kurdiske folk, som er underkastet fem forskellige stater, får sine politiske rettigheder samt retten til selvbestemmelse og uafhængighed anerkendt; man kan ikke bare nøjes med humanitær bistand og international velgørenhed.
This Parliament must stand up today for the political rights of all the subject Kurdish people in five States, their right to selfdetermination and independence. It is not right to limit ourselves to humanitarian aid, to international charity.
Europa-Parlamentet og Den Europæiske Union har et ansvar for at kræve uafhængig hed for den kurdiske nation.
It is the responsibility of the European Parliament and the European Union to demand the independence of the Kurdish nation.
Alt andet vil kun være at tilbyde en interimistisk løsning på et meget vanskeligt problem.
Unless we do that we are only offering a stop gap solution to a very difficult problem.
Ephremidis (CS). — (GR) Hr. formand, hr. Matutes læste tilfreds op fra sine regnskabsbøger om arten og omfanget af den bistand, der er ydet til de evigt forfulgte kurdere.
VAN DEN BRINK (S). — (NE) Mr President, during the meeting this morning with the Kurdish leader,
Desuden lægger militæret hindringer i vejen for den, den holdes tilbage — og i denne forbindelse kan vi ikke kun tale om Irak — vi kan blot tænke på, hvad Tyrkiet gør med sine luftbombardementer over irakisk territorium, hvor kvinder og børn også dræbes.
VAN DEN BRINK recognizes the difficulty of carrying out any serious rebuilding as long as the political situation in Iraq has not stabilized, something we also intend to contribute to.
van den Brink (S). — (NL) Hr. formand, under mødet i formiddags med den kurdiske leder, hr. Barzani, blev det os endnu en gang klart, hvor kritisk, vanskelig og foruroligende kurdernes situation i Irak er.
Mr Barzani, it once again became clear how precarious, uncomfortable and distressing the position of the Kurds in Iraq is.
På grund af den dobbelte blokade befinder næsten alle sig i en elendig økonomisk situation.
Because of the double blockade almost all of them are in a very serious economic situation.
I de forgangne måneder har embedsmænd kun en gang fået udbetalt deres løn.
In the past few months officials have only once had their wages paid.
Inflationen stiger med 30% om måneden. To eksempler.
Inflation is rising by 30% per month.
En gymnasierektor har fået 200 dinarer om måneden.
The head of a middle school got 200 dinars per month.
En kylling koster nu 40 dinarer, og et kilo te, hvilket ikke er ret meget til en hel familie, koster også 40 dinarer.
A chicken now costs 40 dinars and a kilo of tea, which is a small amount for a family, also costs 40 dinars.
England har giver 4 millioner dollar i hjælp, Nederlandene 4,5 millioner gylden via FN.
Britain has given 4 million dollars in aid, and the Netherlands 4.5 million guilders through the UN.
Men da alt skal gå gennem de irakiske banker, og da Bagdad manipulerer med kurserne, kommer hjælpen ikke ud til den almindelige borger.
But because all that has to pass by way of the Iraqi banks and because Baghdad manipulates the exchange rates, the aid does not get to the ordinary people.
Man skal altså se at finde ud af, om denne hjælp ikke kunne blive kanaliseret via NGO'erne.
We must therefore look into the possibility of channelling this aid through the NGOs.
Der er brug for kreativitet og intelligens fra hjælpeinstanserne og således også fra Dem.
Creativity and intelligence are demanded of aid-giving agencies, hence also of you.
Og lad os ikke bruge PPK's aktiviteter som påskud. Vi kan blot hver for sig tænke på, hvad vi gjorde under den nazistiske besættelse for at befri vort fædreland.
In any case, I want to put on record that, strangely enough, some of those who are currently reproaching the international community for having limited itself to restoring legality in Kuwait are the very same people who, at the time, opposed the intervention the most and those who, at the time, demanded that once the mandate of the United Nations had been fulfilled in its strict terms, the action be stopped immediately, which consequently left the dictator Saddam Hussein in power.
