Disse krav afvistes af alle de tilstedeværende medlemmer med en sjælden enstemmighed; og nu er de samme krav blevet accepteret med et lettelsens suk, selv om de kan skabe — og rent faktisk skaber — en præcedens, som regeringerne måske ikke vil påberåbe sig, men som ganske sikkert vil blive grundigt udnyttet af de nationale parlamenter, som vi skal forhandle den forestående udvidelse med.
Today's nationally honourable Greece makes no claims to become a local superpower with an aggressive policy — which is what you aspire to for Turkey — but it cannot accept your short-sighted and grotesque tactic, which leads to the humiliation and injury of its national pride.
Og for det andet frister det mig til at sige, at overensstemmelsen mellem Edinburgh-erklæringen og det berømte A4-ark, som Folkebevægelsen mod EF og andre udgav den 19. maj, er mere end iøjnefaldende.
The big news from Edinburgh, the disconcerting news to reach us from Edinburgh, is that it is possible to develop a variablegeometry Europe without having to revise the Maastricht Treaty.
Men det er tilsyneladende vigtigere at holde fast i sine gamle paroler frem for at se på, hvad der sker i den virkelige verden.
Gentlemen of the British Presidency, you are making an enormous historical and political mistake when you limit the problem of Skopje to its name.
Og derfor siger disse organisationer såmænd også nej til næste folkeafstemning. Heldigvis forstår Socialistisk Folkeparti at læse en tekst.
The name is the tip of the iceberg. Below the surface is the ultimate aim of the Skopjeans, who want to change the frontiers in the Balkans, a thing which contravenes the last Helsinki Act.
Og derfor har dette EF-kritiske parti forstået, at der faktisk skete noget vigtigt i Skotland. At de danske krav faktisk blev imødekommet, og at man skulle være et utaknemligt skarn, hvis man ikke kvitterede herfor med en jakampagne.
The issue of Skopje's name does not just touch the sensitive cultural and historic chords of the Greek people, it is also relevant to territorial claims.
Men lad os vende tilbage til miraklet, der ikke kan siges at være et mirakel, hvis vi accepterer tesen i Le Mondes leder i går.
It is true that the concessions granted to Denmark do not conflict with the letter of the Maastricht Treaty.
Og vi må erkende, at det fremmer et divergerende og ikke et konvergerende Europa; det fremmer et Europa i flere hastigheder eller et Europa »a la carte«, ikke Unionens Europa, der ikke kan have anden horisont — nær eller fjern — end den føderale.
It is therefore right for the man in the street in Greece to ask how it is possible for our allies, the British, to be supporting Gligorov when during that period of 19401950 they were urging Greece militarily and politicoideologically to fight against the communist Tito ad Gligorov who wanted to extend the frontiers of Skopje as far as Thessaloniki. The Presidency should answer that question.
Og til det fælles beslutningsforslag fra Parlamentet vil jeg holde mig til nogle enkelte punkter.
Mr President, I want to assure you that the dismemberment of Skopje goes against the views of Greek foreign policy, which believes in the inviolability of frontiers in Europe.
For det første beklages det i forslaget, at der ikke er nogen tidsbegrænsning på den danske løsning.
It is to Greece's advantage that a small state like Skopje should exist, always providing that the pseudodominant force represented in that country by VMRO, the leading party, is overcome.
Den beklagelse deler jeg ikke, men jeg beder de indgroede modstandere lytte efter, for de hævder nemlig det stik modsatte.
Indeed its leader, Nikola Valianowski, in a recent interview with a Belgian journalist, drew parallels between his own party and the IRA.
Og der udtrykkes glæde over, at den danske løsning ikke skal gælde for andre.
He added that his aim was a greater Macedonia with Thessaloniki as its capital.
Det er jo lidt en strid om kejserens skæg.
Nor did he exclude the use of military force.
Men Danmark er jo ikke overformynderi for hverken Sverige, Finland eller Østrig.
It is possible to have a variable-geometry Council of Ministers, even informally.
Som formanden for mit parti i går sagde under en debat i det spanske parlament om topmødet i Edinburgh, er det beløb, Spa nien modtager i 1993 lavere end 0,5% af statens almindelige budget, det er lavere end halvdelen af renterne af den offentlige gæld og er lig med en femtedel af udgifterne til et højhastighedstog, der især har gavnet den franske og den tyske industri.
With the interpretation of the Maastricht Treaty that prevailed in Edinburgh, we find that the two institutions, the Commission and Parliament, which along with the Court of Justice symbolize European integration are going to be unable to take their proper places in the institutional architecture of tomonow.
Hvad Spanien reelt har brug for er ikke den smule penge, det modtager fra disse fonde, men foren ny økonomisk politik gennemført af en ny regering.
Edinburgh, ladies and gentle men, set the scene for what are likely to be painful revisions.
Det er et plus ved beslutningsforslaget, at det straks tager fat på arbejdsløsheden i EF-landene, som i hvert fald er på 16 mio mennesker.
Mr President, in conclusion, I would like to say that with such a leading party in Skopje, Greece will have to face serious and longterm problems.
Det er et tilsvarende minus ved Edinburgh, at der ikke er sat mere fokus på beskæftigelsen.
The question asked by the man in the street in Greece is: how will the Eleven cover Greece defensively and politically?
Det er givet, at det fremtidige økonomiske samarbejdes succes først og fremmest skal måles med beskæftigelsens målestok. Miljøafsnittet i Maastricht er lovende, men det skal stå sin prøve.
In the same way that it is to be covered by the Western European Union in the event of attack by Turkey after the deletion of Article 5 of the WEU Treaty?
Når det drejer sig om beskæftigelse og fred, er det stadigvæk mest op til staterne som stater frem for fællesskab at gribe ind, og desværre ser det ud til, at en chance blev forpasset med hensyn til Jugoslavien.
Of course it remains — for the present- oriented towards Europe, since it is through Europe that it wishes to pursue its legitimate national
Det siger os noget om, hvor stærk vetoretten
(The President cut off the speaker)
Op til Edinburgh-topmødet lagde vi afgørende vægt på, at den danske regering skulle sikre, at netop disse punkter, som de danske partier var blevet enige om, skulle være med i topmødeerklæringen, og den vedtagelse, der skulle fremkomme på topmødet, skulle være juridisk bindende og uden tidsbegrænsning.
In this situation too we have been watching a ballet of decimals on the percentage increase of the quota of the GNP to be contributed to the Community coffers and an exhausting trial of strength between the rich countries and the poor countries on the creation of a special fund to stimulate investment and reduce the gap between north and south.
Vi er sejlet uden om et skær og har taget et vigtigt skridt mod en demokratisk og føderal Europæisk Union.
FALCONER (S). — Mr President, I do not wish to hold up the business of Parliament any more than I have to but yesterday I had to attend a meeting in my constituency which meant I had to go back home.
Også vi forstår, at dette er et egnet øjeblik for det britiske formandskab til at gøre kapringen af den danske flåde i 1807 og bombarderingen af København godt igen.
Unlike my usual route, I went through Frankfurt and travelled on British Airways.
Hvad er det så, vi har fået på Edinburgh-topmødet?
I then went through the passport control and my passport was again checked.
Ja, vi har fået alt, hvad vi ønskede, alle de krav, som blev stillet fra dansk side, de krav, som vi fra SF stillede før folkeafstemningen, de krav er blevet opfyldt på Edinburgh-topmødet.
At the gate before I boarded the plane I was again asked for my passport.
Edinburgh-topmødet har vist en anden vej, end flertallet her i Parlamentet ønsker.
I refused to allow them to check my passport as it had been checked twice already.
Det er jeg godt klar over.
They then re-routed me through Lufthansa.
Der er også en helt anden stemning her i Parlamentet denne gang, end der var sidste måned.
There is also no problem with Air France or Sabena; when one travels with Sabena the passport is only checked when the boarding pass is issued.
Det synes jeg er positivt, og jeg synes, det er væsentligt, at der nu er mulighed for, at man i Danmark får en ny folkeafstemning.
Only British Airways has this arcane policy which means that passports are checked not once, not twice, but three times.
Jeg kan sige, at med de ting, der blev sikret på Edinburghtopmødet, vil vi denne gang klart anbefale de danske vælgere, at man stemmer ja til de danske ordninger og dermed ja til, at Danmark fortsat også er med i EF.
Therefore, Mr President, I would ask you to take this matter to the Enlarged Bureau to examine the possibility of whether Parliament can take any action against British Airways in order to stop this practice.
På fransk hedder det: »Chacun prend sa responsabilité«, enhver bærer sit ansvar.
PRESIDENT. — The presidency takes note and will take the appropriate steps.
ALAVANOS (CG). — (GR) Hr. formand, først og frem mest vil jeg beklage, at Rådet er begyndt at spille stumfilm.
JEPSEN (PPE). — (DK) Mr President, I should like to try and express the very real pleasure I feel to be given the opportunity today, just a few days after the Edinburgh Summit, to say a word of thanks to the Council President, Prime Minister John Major.
Men om ikke andet vil hr. Garel Jones måske svare mig med øjnene. Jeg vil gerne stille ham følgende spørgsmål: Få dage før Det Europæiske Råd fandt en stor demonstration sted i Athen, hvor halvdelen af byens befolkning deltog.
I had of course hoped to be given the floor while John Major was still here, but I shall ask Mr Garel Jones to pass on my greetings.
Det viser endnu en gang, at man i Europa-Parlamentet og ikke i Rådet finder den kreativitet og forudseenhed, som vi har brug for til at klare de fremtidige problemer.
PRESIDENT. — The next item is the continuation of the joint debate on the Edinburgh Council and the term of office of the British Presidency.
For det andet så vi, at Det Europæiske Råd viste stor interesse over for Danmarks krav. Det samme var ikke tilfældet med et krav fra Grækenland.
It is very difficult indeed to put into words the relief that was felt in Denmark when the news from Edinburgh became known.
Danmark havde selvfølgelig et vigtigt argument i form af en ikkegodkendelse af Maastricht-Traktaten.
Nor was that relief felt only by the half of the Danish electorate that voted Yes on 2 June.
Er man nødt til at have den slags argumenter og anvende de mest yderligtgående midler, før Det Europæiske Råd interesserer sig for sagen?
No, it was also felt widely within the ranks of those who had voted No.
Og vi taler om gennemsigtighed og om svar på den offentlige mening hos befolkningerne.
The reason for this is that the consequences of that No are now beginning to make themselves felt.
Har Det Europæiske Råd givet offentligheden i Grækenland et svar?
They are apparent in the shape of instability on the foreign exchange market, despondency in trade and industry and a reluctance to invest in Danish companies, with the result that jobs are lost.
Det må hr. Garel Jones gerne tænke over, og jeg tror, vi vil få lejlighed til at drøfte det mere indgående i aften under spørgetiden.
This state of affairs will continue until Denmark's position within the EC has been clarified. ied.
Vor gruppe talte med stort flertal mod det mistillidsvotum, der blev fremsat mod Kommissionen.
MAGNANI NOYA (S). — (IT) Mr President, at Edinburgh the ship of Europe did not founder on the rocks described by President Delors this morning.
Dette skin bedrager! Uden for enhver tvivl er det fortsat kun, at det danske dynamit, dette folks mod til at sige nej giver Danmarks borgere en ulige bedre og mere selvstændig stilling i unionens gyldne bur.
The thorny Danish question was resolved in such a way as to satisfy the Copenhagen government which wanted the exceptions it had demanded to be recognized, specifying at the same time that these exceptions related only to Denmark and could not be invoked as a precedent by either the present or the future Members of the EEC.
Bevaringen af landets egen valuta og Nationalbankens beføjelser, friheden fra forsvarspolitiske forpligtelser som led i Unionen dækker imidlertid kun til dels Danmarks række af krav i Europa.
That was an important proviso, because it precludes the possibility of each state tailoring the provisions of the Treaty to its own wishes.
IVERSEN (V). — Flertallet af de danske vælgere sagde den 2. juni nej til EF-Unionen.
Among many other matters at the Summit, the Danish problem received special treatment.
Det skete bl.a. på baggrund af, at SF anbefalede, at man afviste Traktaten.
We did not doubt for a moment that the British were putting not only their minds but also their hearts into their efforts to resolve the problem.
Vi understregede samtidig, at et nej den 2. juni ikke var et nej til EF-'medlemskabet. Vi lagde vægt på, at der blev taget afstand fra EF-Unionen på fire områder for Dan marks vedkommende.
The British presidency, whose responsibility it was, was successful in manoeuvring in such a way that the Danish Prime Minister was able to take home with him to Denmark a result that gives us the requisite amended basis such as will allow us to proceed to a new referèndum.
For det første: Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union, for det andet: fælles forsvarspolitik,
I can assure you that it was a greatly relieved Prime Minister who returned home with all the demands satisfied that he had made on behalf of the Folketing's
Jeg er alligevel af den opfattelse, at disse indrømmelser gør nye ratifikationsprocedurer juridisk nødvendige i alle lande, som vedtog den ufuldstændige aftale inden den 13. december.
But obviously the solution of the Danish case is not enough on its own to signify the success of the Edinburgh
GRUND per, der fastlagdes i Maastricht, har ønsket at bringe dette princip i anvendelse her og nu.
We are for the rest very happy in Denmark that the Summit under took to initiate negotiations at an early date with the applicant EFTA countries.
gerskab i Afsnit A i konklusionernes Del B. Danskerne ønskede ikke at få påtvunget dette borgerskab. Formuleringen fra Edinburgh lader det imidlertid forblive uklart, om de har ret til at kunne antage eller afslå dette dobbeltborgerskab.
parliamentary committees to meet, how often they wish to meet in Brussels, and how they are to go about discharging their legislative duties.
Maastricht-Traktaten er derved blevet endnu mere ulige, end den var i forvejen.
HERMAN (PPE). — (FR) Mr President, perhaps it was the foggy weather, but this morning we might have been in London, in the House of Commons, where the niceties of debate are overshadowed by polemics, in which everything is black and white.
Hvis man tillader sidespring i »lemmingenes klub«, hvorfor så ikke for alle folk?
As for Edinburgh, a little more modesty would have been in order in presenting results that are, admittedly, positive but painfully inade quate when set against the needs of the hour.
Heller ikke Maastricht kan udelukkende defineres ved det opnåede, men også ved det »udgrænsede«, det der er holdt udenfor.
I should also like today to express my thanks to the Commission — even if the Commission is not yet fully present — and especially to the Commission President Mr Jacques Delors.
Den konjunkturelle situation gav reelt ikke Fællesskabet og Rådet mulighed for at tage fat på alle de europæiske spørgsmål, der er på dagsordenen.
In the first place because the Com mission President acknowledged the Danish problem and, next, because he collaborated with all his experience and skill to ensure that all twelve countries could proceed further as a single body.
Topmødet var således ikke på højde med problemerne i forbindelse med krigen i det tidligere Jugoslavien og heller ikke med begivenhederne og udviklingen i Mellemeuropa.
It has not been won as yet, but Denmark must have realized that the time has now come and that the chance you have been instrumental in giving Denmark may be the last chance.
BOURLANGES (PPE). — (FR) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, da vi for nogle uger siden diskuterede perspektiver ne for topmødet i Edinburgh, var vi besjælede af viljen til at afværge to farer, som vi frygtede.
DURY (S). — (FR) Mr President, having procrastinated for a few decades, our governments have taken a decision on our seat.
Som meget mistænkelig vil jeg afslutningsvis gerne vurdere henvisningen til de egne indtægters struktur.
It is to be the seat of the Commission and the Council, and the European Parliament will at last be able to hold what are to be known as 'additional plenaries' there.
Bag indførelsen af den femte indtægtskilde skjuler der sig for de netop lige besatte unionsborgere en ny fælleskabsafgifts svøbe som en pris, de skal betale for den tildeling, de ikke har bedt om.
What a success after all the resistance to the holding of European Parliament meet ings in Brussels whenever we have tried to do a bit of work there!
Jeg må sige, at topmødet i sidste uge har beroliget os på det første punkt — der bliver ikke tale om genforhandlinger — men det har langtfra beroliget os på det andet.
First, I have been looking in vain through the annals to find an example of a democratically elected assembly that has been unable to take its own decision as to where it was to sit.
Vi risikerer at styre hen imod et Europa med variabel geometri, og — som det med føje blev sagt af kommissionsformand Delors for lidt siden — et Europa med variabel geometri er ikke et Europa med flere hastigheder.
Only dictatorships have anogated to themselves the right to put elected representatives of the people under house anest, preferably a long way away from their place of work; Chile and South Africa are cases in point.
Et Europa med flere hastigheder er et Europa, hvor folk stiler mod samme mål, men med forskellig hastig hed. Et Europa med variabel geometri er et Europa, hvor partnerne ikke har de samme rettigheder, de samme forpligtelser eller de samme mål.
The fact that such decisions should have been taken without the European Parliament having a say is a further example of the democratic deficit, which is fraught with danger, as the European Community has learnt to its cost.
Topmødet i Edinburgh har rent faktisk bragt uvisheden til ophør på visse punkter, ligesom det har skabt forventninger til fremtiden, men disse skal til enhver tid udmøntes i konkrete handlinger.
You said nothing about it because neither your government nor the others have been able to come up with anything that would command any credibility in the financial markets today.
I den henseende har den britiske regering, der nu afslutter sin formandsperiode, et væsentligt bidrag at give til den europæiske opbygning, nemlig en snarlig ratificering af Maastricht-Traktaten for dermed at sætte en stopper for usikkerheden vedrørende proces sen og tidsplanen for ratificeringen.
I have no wish to appear desperately negative about what has been done, since you have avoided the worst, but this morning's euphoria and triumphalism were out of all proportion to the objective reality that we have to face, and I find it very disappoint ing that you felt the need to engage in polemics instead of looking at the real situation.
Jeg tror, at der her er tale om en meget mærkelig og meget ny situation, som er meget forvirrende for os.
In human terms, it is going to mean a lot of wasted time and energy and disruption of family life.
Det er sandt, at de indrømmelser, der er gjort Danmark, ikke modsiger Maastricht-Traktatens bogstav.
In financial terms, a lot of additional expenditure.
Men det er fuldt ud lige så sandt, at de underbygger en fortolkning af denne Traktat, som er baseret på tanken om et Europa à la carte, en fortolkning, som potentielt er indeholdt i Trak tatens bestemmelser om den fælles valuta, om forsvar spolitikken og socialpolitikken, og som nu er fuldt ud anerkendt og stadfæstet.
There is frankly nothing the governments can do about the human costs but, as far as the financial costs are concerned, let those who wanted this duplication pay for it.
Derfor vil jeg ikke fælde nogen dom over denne udvikling.
I am thinking in particular of the French Government.
Jeg tror, at alle kan vurdere den. Men jeg vil gerne hurtigt forsøge at drage konsekvenserne af den.
If it wants two Chambers, one in Brussels and the other in Strasbourg, let it pay the costs of Strasbourg.
Det Europæiske Råds møde i Edinburgh har bragt en løsning på andre spørgsmål.
I agree with everything Mrs Dury said about the seat.
Det havde desuden den fortjeneste at acceptere, hvad der allerede blev fastlagt i Maastricht og på topmødet i Lissabon vedrørende strukturfondene og samhørighedsfondene.
For a parliament to be made to use three places of work, far from the centre of decisionmaking, is unheard of in any country in the world, and I do not think you have done democracy a service in taking this decision.
Samhørighedsfonde, der naturligvis ikke sigter mod at løse de økonomiske problemer i et bestemt land.
Even if you have sorted out the problems among yourselves in a way that leaves everyone happy, distributing presents because it is Christmas, in fact you have not settled anything at all and it is that, alas, that history will record!
På dette punkt må jeg erklære mig uenig med min landsmand, hr. Robles, der ser ud til at mene, at Spaniens økonomiske politik vil blive erstattet med en generøs fællesskabspolitik, hvilket det overhovedet ikke drejer sig om.
Lastly, I have a final request to the Council: on this matter at any rate, can it now forget us, can it leave us to get on with our work in peace, can it let us organize our business as we see fit, in our best interests and those of the Community?
Det drejer sig ikke om at føre regnskab over en bestemt regerings succes, der for at efterleve de princip
Europe's elected representatives should at last be left to decide where they want their
Jeg anser det nemlig for klart, at den nye situation er foruroligende for Europa-Parlamentet og for alle dem, der i dette Parlamentet altid har kæmpet for oprettelsen af et fælles, demokratisk og integreret institutionelt system.
GAREL JONES, President-in-Office of the Council. — Mr President, I should just like to make a brief response to Mr Herman.
Jeg vil sammenfatte den i en enkelt formel: hvis man skal forvalte et Europa med variabel geometri, er det muligt at
It may have escaped his notice but the Community is actually made up of Member States with all their imperfections.
BOURLANGES udenrigspolitik, som går ind for grænsernes ukrænkelig hed i Europa.
As long as laws are proposed by experts and only approved by national bureaucrats, there is no hope of transparency.
Det er i Grækenlands interesse, at der findes en stat som Skopje på betingelse af, at de kræfter, som landets største parti, VMRO, repræsenterer, og som påstår sig så bundne, fjernes.
We must return to a legislative system that is in fact political, applied by Parliament and the Council.
Partiets leder, Nikola Balianovski, sammenlignede for nylig i et interview til en belgisk journalist sit parti med IRA.
FAYOT (S). — (FR) Mr President, I do not entirely agree with Mr Herman and Mrs Dury on the question of seats.
Han tilføjede, at hans mål er et stort Makedonien med Thessaloniki som hovedstad. Og han udelukkede ikke anvendelsen af væbnet kamp.
The compromise decided upon by the European Council resembles the judgement of Solomon in that it is a source of great joy to some and anguish to others.
have et Europæisk Råd med variabel geometri, om end uformelt.
As a whole the decisions of the European Council reflect this great ambiguity.
Det er muligt at have et Ministerråd med variabel geometri, om end uformelt.
I do not think that at the present moment, which is a difficult one for the construction of Europe, the people can be content with bureaucratic or lukewarm political replies.
