I mellemtiden har Canada gjort det samme, og De Forenede Stater synes at overveje et lignende skridt.
In the meantime Canada has done likewise and the United States seems to be considering the same course of action.
Det er dog noget.
That is not nothing.
Jeg mener ikke, det er »makværk«, men jeg konstaterer, at Europa-Parlamentet har blokeret mulighederne for at yde humanitær bistand til både Bulgarien og Rumænien og Sovjet unionen. Dette er Parlamentet i sin gode ret til.
I also do not think it is a botched job, but I do note that the view of the European Parliament was that possibilities of giving aid both to Bulgaria and Romania and to the Soviet Union should have been blocked.
For det første: Hvor effektive er foranstaltningerne i forhold til målet?
Firstly, what is the effectiveness of the measure with respect to the aim to be achieved ?
Og for det andet: Bidrager foranstaltningerne til at fremme stabiliteten i Sovjetunionen?
Secondly, does the measure contribute to promoting stability in the Soviet Union ?
Det er i sig selv vigtigt at fremme stabiliteten i Sovjet unionen, ikke mindst for at skabe muligheder for en demokratisk udvikling i de baltiske stater.
The promotion of stability in the Soviet Union is important as an aim in itself, not least with reference to the possibility of democratic development in the Baltic states.
Det er på denne baggrund, vi har udarbejdet vores politik i overensstemmelse med Europa-Parlamentets stand punkter.
It is in that context that we have established our position and continue to uphold it, in the hope that we can do so in conformity with the feelings of the European Parliament.
( Tilråb fra fru Goedmakers: »Det er ikke rigtigt«!)
(Interruption from Mrs Goedmakers : that is just not true !)
Formanden. — Fru Goedmakers har ordet i overensstemmelse med artikel 82, stk. 4, i forretningsordenen. nen.
PRESIDENT. — I give the floor to Mrs Goedmakers in accordance with Rule 82(4) of the Rules of Procedure.
(Tilråb fra fru Goedmakers: »Men det drejede sig om noget ganske andet, som jeg har forsøgt at redegøre for«)
(Interruption from Mrs Goedmakers: but that is something entirely different, I have just tried to explain it.)
Goedmakers (S). — (NL) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne henvise til, hvad hr. Von der Vring som formand for Budgetudvalget har sagt i denne debat.
GOEDMAKERS (S). — (NL) Mr President, I should just like to point out what Mr von der Vring said in the debate as Chairman of the Committee on Budgets.
Jeg citerer ham ordret:
I quote him verbatim :
Det havde jeg ikke forstået.
In that case I did not understand it.
Jeg konstaterer, at processen for øjeblikket er blokeret, eller at processen under alle omstændigheder ikke kan fortsættes for øjeblikket.
I note that the process is blocked for the present and that the process cannot in any case be continued at the present time.
Jeg konstaterer, at Europa-Parlamentet ikke har efterkommet den indtrængende appel, som jeg havde rettet til Parlamentet om i hvert fald at adskille hjælpen til Bulgarien og Rumænien fra hjælpen til Sovjetunionen.
I note that an urgent appeal which I myself made to the European Parliament at least to separate the aid to Bulgaria and Romania from the process concerning the Soviet Union has also not received a response from the European Parliament.
(Tilråb fra fru Goedmakers: »Vi har anmodet om, at Kommissionen ved debattens afslutning forklarede...«) rede...«)
(Interruption from Mrs Goedmakers: we explicitly asked at the end of our debate whether the Commission would say if our ...)
(Formanden henstillede, at man undlod at komme med flere tilråb)
(The President intervened to stop the interruptions.)
Andriessen, næstformand i Kommissionen. — (NL) Hr. formand, jeg har talt om dette spørgsmål på et andet tidspunkt, nemlig mandag aften.
ANDRIESSEN, Vice-President of the Commission. — (NL) Mr President, I spoke on these matters at another time, on Monday evening.
Det eneste, jeg konstaterer, er, at resultatet af Parlamentets beslutning er, at man under ingen omstændigheder kan træffe en beslutning om disse anliggender for øjeblikket, men at vi må afvente, at Europa-Paria-
The only thing I note is that the result of Parliament's stand is in any case that no decision can be taken on these matters at the present time, let alone last week. It will have to wait until the European Parliament has presented its opinion on the subject; that will be in February.
Jeg er naturligvis ikke ansvarlig for, hvad aviserne skriver herom.
The programme in respect of the Soviet Union involved 750 million ECU for food aid, comprising 250 million ECU in grants and 500 million in credits.
Jeg har fremsat denne anmodning om uopsættelig forhandling, i hvilken forbindelse jeg i øvrigt har sagt, hr. formand, at jeg havde forståelse for, at Europa-Parlamentet ønskede at undersøge det nøjere.
The Commission's view is that the grants should go through and that the 500 million in credits, purchases in other words, should be looked at again. The programme involved 400 million for technical assistance.
mentet afgiver sin udtalelse herom. Dette vil ske i februar.

Alternativt har han udenrigsministrene fra de to andre trojkalande til rådighed, og vi ville være glade for at se dem begge i næste uge — eller en af dem — hvis han ikke er i stand til selv at komme.
Alternatively, he has at his disposal the foreign ministers of the two other Troika countries, and we would be delighted to see both of them next week — or one or other of them — if he himself is unable to come.
Kommissionen er jo nok enig med mig i, at det for det første drejer sig om nødhjælpen, for det andet om finansiering af kreditten til fødevarehjælpen og for det tredje om det tekniske og økonomiske samarbejde?
PRESIDENT. — I shall pass on your invitations to the Council and I hope that next week we will have more sure the Commission would agree with me that there is firstly a question of emergency aid and secondly loans to finance food aid, and thirdly technical and economic cooperation.
Kommissionen er nok også enig med mig i, at man må holde disse ting ude fra hinanden og at der i forbindelse med nødhjælpen er tale om en ikke-automatisk overførsel af bevillinger, som foretages af Budgetudvalget alene og ikke skal forelægges plenarforsamlingen.
The Commission will no doubt agree that these issues need to be kept separate and that as far as the emergency aid is concerned this involves a nonautomatic transfer of appropriations which is the sole responsibility of the Committee on Budgets and not of the House as such.
Forholder det sig anderledes, anmoder jeg hr. kom missær Andriessen om at sige mig det — så har jeg i ti år siddet forgæves i Budgetudvalget.
If this is not the case, I should like Commissioner Andriessen to say so, because then it means that I have been sitting for ten years in the Committee on Budgets for nothing.
Barton (S). — (EN) Hr. formand, jeg har lige et meget kort spørgsmål i lyset af den meget alvorlige misforståelse, der er opstået under denne forhandling.
BARTON (S). — Mr President, I just have a very short question in light of the very serious misunderstanding that has arisen in this discussion.
Må jeg spørge kommissæren, om han er rede til at træffe en hasteforanstaltning til at høre Præsidiet eller en hvilken som helst foranstaltning, han anser for at være passende for at sikre, at hjælpen ikke forsinkes uforvarende?
Can I ask the Commissioner if he is prepared to take emergency action to consult with the Bureau, or whatever arrangement he considers to be appropriate, to make sure that the aid is not unintentionally delayed ?
Andriessen, næstformand i Kommissionen. — (NL) Hr. formand, jeg ved ikke, om det er i sagens interesse, at vi fortsætter denne forhandling yderligere.
ANDRIESSEN, Vice-President of the Commission. — (NL) Mr President, I do not know whether it is in the interests of the matter to continue this debate for much longer.
For mig drejer det sig om følgende: Anmodningen om uopsættelig forhandling blev indgivet på et andet tidspunkt, end da vi havde fået kendskab til de kendsgerninger, der i det øjeblik gjorde sig gældende.
What concerns me is this. The request for urgent treatment was submitted at time other than at which we had knowledge of the facts which then became relevant.
Det er rigtigt.
That is correct.
Det foranledigede mig til at sige det, jeg gjorde, nemlig at jeg havde forståelse for, at Parlamentet ønskede at undersøge det grundigt.
That is what prompted me to say what I said, namely that I understood that Parliament wanted to examine the matter thoroughly.
Men jeg har mindre forståelse for den kendsgerning, at bl.a. det typiske hjælpeaspekt både til Sovjetunionen og til Bulgarien og Rumænien af en eller anden grund, som jeg ikke kan indse, ikke kunne adskilles fra den mere centrale debat.
What I understand less well is the fact that in particular the specific aid aspect, both for the Soviet Union and for Bulgaria and Romania, for one reason or another that I cannot fathom could not be separated off from the more central debate.
Det ønskede jeg at sige her i aften, og det holder jeg fast ved.
That is what I wanted to say this evening, and I stand by that.
Andriessen, næstformand i Kommissionen. — (NL) Hr. formand, Kommissionen er stadig væk overbevist om, at dele af den pakke, som Det Europæiske Råd traf beslutning om i december, er af hastende karakter og hurtigst muligt bør gennemføres.
ANDRIESSEN, Vice-President of the Commission. — (NL) Mr President, the Commission remains convinced that the elements in the package on which the European Council took a decision in December are urgent and must be implemented with urgency, in order to show that the European Community has done more than nothing, as was said here this evening.
Formanden. — Jeg erklærer Europa-Parlamentets session for afbrudt. ')
In my experience, Mr President, foreign ministers have an army of junior ministers to represent them if they cannot come themselves.

FORSÆDE: HANS PETERS
IN THE CHAIR : MR PETERS delivered to Members' pigeon-holes here as well.
Også her lægges de i medlem mernes bokse.
(Parliament approved the Minutes) '
(Protokollen godkendtes) ')
(The sitting opened at 5 p.m.)
Formanden. — Jeg erklærer Europa-Parlamentets session, der blev afbrudt den 30. januar 1991, for genoptaget.
PRESIDENT. — I declare resumed the partsession of the European Parliament which was adjourned on 30 January 1991.
Formanden. — Protokollen fra sidste møde er omdelt.
PRESIDENT. — The Minutes of the last sitting have been distributed.
Aglietta (V). - - (IT) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne komme med nogle kortfattede bemærkninger om dette møde, som vi anser for betydningsfuldt, uanset at det fra et forretningsordensmæssigt synspunkt giver anledning til nogle spørgsmålstegn, for eksempel når det fremgår, at her ingen afstemninger kan ske.
AGLIETTA (V). — (IT) Mr President, I should like to make some general remarks about this meeting, which we consider important even though from a procedural point of view some questions arc raised, for example, by the fact that we cannot vote.
Derimod synes det, at Parlamentet tillægger det temmelig ringe betydning, når man tager i betragtning, at Parlamentets formand er fraværende, og navnlig at udvalgenes arbejde fortsætter, så de interesserede kolleger ikke kan deltage i dette møde.
On the other hand, it seems to me that even Parliament attaches little importance to this matter, considering that the President is not here and, above all, that the committees are continuing to meet, so that some interested Members cannot take part this sitting.
Det forekommer mig derfor, at også Parlamentets Præsidium har til hensigt at formindske betydningen af dette øjeblik, og jeg vil henlede Deres opmærksomhed herpå.
So it seems to me that there is a wish to reduce the importance of this event, even on the part of the presidency, and I should like to draw your attention to this.
I øvrigt vil jeg bemærke, at vi fortsat mødes uden repræsentation for Rådet.
I should also like point out that we thus continue to meet in the absence of the Council.
Herman (PPE). — (FR) For at blive godkendt skal protokollen normalt fordeles der, hvor medlem merne befinder sig.
HERMAN (PPE). — (FR) For the minutes to be approved, they must normally be distributed where Members are present.
Måske har vi modtaget den derhjemme eller andetsteds, men tydeligvis befinder den sig ikke her på vores pladser, og det er meget svært at betragte den som godkendt.
We may have received them somewhere, at home or whatever, but they are clearly not on the benches here, and it is very difficult to consider them approved.
Rådet (Generelle Anliggender) har afholdt et møde siden sidste plenarmøde.
I think that is as it should be.
Begge sager på vor dagsorden blev drøftet i dette Råd. Afgørelser blev truffet af Rådet (Generelle Anliggender) vedrørende disse to sager.
I do you not consider the Vice-Presidents, myself in particular, as too junion for the responsibility.
Formanden for Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde er blevet indbudt til at deltage i dette møde.
The President-in-Office of European Political Cooperation was invited to attend this meeting.
Han har dog bedt mig meddele Dem, at det des værre ikke er ham muligt at være til stede.
He has, however, asked me to inform you that he unfortunately cannot be present.
Formanden. - - Hr. Prout, disse forslag fra Parlamentet er blevet bekendtgjort.
PRESIDENT. — Sir Christopher, these proposals from Parliament were communicated.
Jeg foreslår derfor, at vi ikke indleder en lang diskussion, men foranlediger, at formanden og Det Udvidede Præsidium beskæftiger sig hermed på det næste møde og gør sig tanker om konsekvenserne af en sådan holdning, og at grupperne på sin side drøfter det i næste uge og tager initiativer med henblik på Det Udvidede Præsidiums møde.
I therefore propose that we do not start a long discussion, but arrange for the President and the enlarged Bureau to take up the matter at the next meeting and consider the implications and for the political groups, for their part, to discuss it next week and take appropriate action with a view to the enlarged Bureau meeting.
Det tjener ikke noget formål at fortsætte diskussionen nu.
There is no point right now in discussing the matter further.
Vi må drøfte konsekvenserne som allerede foreslået af hr. Chanterie.
We must think about the implications, as Mr Chanterie has suggested.
Chanterie (PPE). — (NL) Hr. formand, jeg vil også gerne protestere på PPE-gruppens vegne mod Rådets fravær.
CHANTERIE (PPE). — (NL) Mr President, I think I must protest, also on behalf of the EPP Group, about the Council's absence.
Vi konstaterede i sidste uge, at Rådet ikke kunne være til stede som følge af en planlagt rejse til Canada.
Last week we had to note that the Council could not be present because it was travelling to Canada.
Også statssekretærerne skulle på rejse, men en sådan undskyldning accepterer vi kun én gang.
The State-Secretary had also to go on a journey, but we accept an excuse like that only once.
Parlamentet må protestere i meget stærke vendinger mod Rådets fravær.
Parlament must protest in very strong terms about the Council's absence.
Hvis Rådet ikke er i stand til at efterkomme sine forpligtelser, så kan de eventuelt overlades til trojkaen.
If the Council is unable to meet its obligations, the latter could possibly be delegated to the Troika.
Grupperne kunne måske i denne forbindelse tage et initiativ og forelægge Parlamentet en beslutning herom til vedtagelse. gelse.
The groups could take an initiative to this effect and put the relevant resolution before Parliament for its approval.
Aglietta (V). - - (IT) Hr. formand, jeg vil blot bemærke, at Det Udvidede Præsidium går op i problemer angående Parlamentets funktionsmuligheder, som jeg ikke vil gå i detaljer med, nemlig Bruxelles, Strasbourg og den manglende løsning på problemet.
AGLIETTA (V). — (IT) Mr President, I should just like to point out that our enlarged Bureau is becoming involved in Parliament's operational difficulties, but I will not go into details here — Brussels, Strasbourg and the lack of a solution to the problem.
Hertil benytter de en drøftelse om begivenhederne ved Den Persiske Havbugt, som vi der imod anser for nyttig.
This has been exploited in the context of a debate on the Gulf, which we nevertheless consider useful.
Jeg ved derfor ikke, hvor megen opmærksomhed Det Udvidede Præsidium kan ofre på de sidstnævnte, meget alvorlige problemer. mer.
I do not know how much attention the enlarged Bureau is likely to give to this latter, very serious problem.
Hermed ønsker vi at tage afstand fra den ret så foragtelige manøvre, der foretages af et lille mindretal, der går ind for Europa-Parlamentets placering i Kongeriget Belgiens hovedstad.
We intend in this way to denounce the base manoeuvring of a small minority which favours having the seat of the European Parliament in the capital of the Kingdom of Belgium.
Den dramatiske udvikling i Golfkonflikten og den sovjetiske militære repression i de baltiske lande, som Europa-Parlamentet drøftede udførligt under sidste mødeperiode, er i færd med at tjene som en undskyldning for Bruxelles-lobbyen, da der herved skabes en beklagelig præcedens. Vor gruppe kan ikke gå med til denne skandaløse manøvre.
Now, what is the meaning of a debate ? The fact that the Council, which usually meets and takes decisions, then communicates them via the press— lam only repeating what has already been said — is not here to give an account of these to Parliament, really seems to me to reduce our meeting to the level of a talking-shop, something which Parliament should not accept.
For os er Strasbourg Europas hovedstad, og vi anmoder ind trængende Rådet om hurtigt at træffe afgørelse i denne endeløse strid om hjemstedet til fordel for Strasbourg, der er symbol for fred i Europa.
We reiterate our support for Strasbourg as capital of Europe, and we would urge the Council of Ministers to decide quickly in this endless quarrel over the seat of Parliament in favour of Strasbourg, the symbol of peace in Europe.
Jeg vil understrege, at Parlamentet havde sat nogle redegørelser fra Rådet på dagsordenen.
PRESIDENT. — The agenda has not been amended. Also the Commission is present, so that the scheduled agenda can be taken.
Derefter er dagsordenen blevet ændret, og disse er blevet erstattet af en forhandling.
You will be involved in this when we discuss the matter in the enlarged Bureau next week and the week after.
Hvad vil det nu sige at have en forhandling?
I should like to know whether the President-in-Office reacted to that request and, if so, what he said.
Formanden. — Jeg har nu den store glæde at byde Litauens udenrigsminister, hr. Saudarkas, velkommen på tilhørerpladserne. Hjertelig velkommen!
Welcome secondly, a mutual commitment to the peaceful settlement of all disputes; thirdly, the preservation of a balance between the major powers in the region;
Hvad angår Fællesskabets foranstaltninger, når krigen er ovre, vil Fællesskabet ud over denne økonomiske hjælp fortsætte sine politiske og diplomatiske bestræbelser.
PRESIDENT. — It is my great pleasure to welcome Lithuania's Foreign Minister, Mr Saudarkas, who has taken his seat in the Official Gallery.
Udviklingen i situationen i Golfen
Developments in the Gulf fifthly, respect for the right to self-determination of all the peoples of the region, and respect for human rights and democratic values;
Inden for hvilke rammer skal disse fællesskabsforanstaltninger finde sted?
PRESIDENT. — The next item is the debate on developments in the Gulf.
Det er Kommissionens opfattelse, at de bør koncentreres om følgende princip per:
sixthly, the progressive integration — which is no simple matter— of all states in the region into a regional economic framework and in the long term perhaps even a political framework, by increasing trade and solidarity.
Formanden. — Næste punkt på dagsordenen er forhandling om udviklingen i situationen i Golfen.
MATUTES, Member of the Commission. — (ES) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, yet again I come before the House to speak in a debate on the Gulf War.
For det første: oprettelse af normale økonomiske og diplomatiske forbindelser med alle stater i området. det.
I intend to give brief and precise information on the aid granted by the Community since the beginning of the war, and on Community action in terms of the post-war situation.
For det andet: gensidig forpligtelse til at nå frem til en fredelig løsning på alle stridbare punkter.
On Community aid, I shall list specific details, as I have been asked to do since I last spoke :
Matutes, medlem af Kommissionen. — (ES) Hr. for mand, ærede medlemmer, jeg er her endnu engang til stede under en forhandling om krigen i Golfen.
Clearly, the proposed action will be handled both through Community instruments, that is the powers the Community already possesses, and through political cooperation.
Krigen fortsætter, og Parlamentets bekymring øges i takt hermed, en bekymring som deles af samtlige fællesskabsinstitutioner.
It also seems clear that the experience of the Community and its Member States in such organizations as the CSCE, COCOM and the Group of 24 should be exploited and applied mutatis mutandis to the Middle East and the Mediterranean.
For det tredje: bibeholdelse af balance mellem de vigtigste stater i området.
on 18 January : ECU 7,5 million of humanitarian aid to displaced persons, refugees and the victims of the war;
For det fjerde: gensidig anerkendelse af sikre grænser og suverænitet mellem alle stater i området.
The Community has a political duty to carry through a major initiative for the Middle East and the Mediterranean when the war in the Gulf is over.
Jeg vil foreslå, at jeg ganske kort og præcist opridser den hjælp, Fællesskabet har ydet lige fra krigens begyndelse, samt de foranstaltninger, det agter at træffe, når krigen er afsluttet.
on 30 January : ECU 500 million, which has now been finally approved, in financial assistance to the three front-line states; on 4 February: ECU 20 million of food aid to the Palestinian people, via a normal UNRWA programme;
For det femte: overholdelse af princippet om folkenes selvbestemmelse i området, overholdelse af men neskerettighederne og af de demokratiske værdier.
The credibility of Europe and of the Arab States in the coalition is at stake: after the war, there will be a ceasefire and victory for one side over the other.
Hvad angår hjælpen fra Fællesskabet, vil jeg med henblik på information af Parlamentet give et kort resumé af denne hjælp — og redegøre for de anmodninger jeg har modtaget, siden vor sidste forhandling: ling:
on 4 February: ECU 3,7 million of special emergency food aid to the Palestinian people, because of the war, and because for more than 20 hours they were unable to leave their homes, and most of them were therefore unable to work.
18. januar: 7,5 mio. ECU til humanitær hjælp til flygtninge og ofre for konflikten.
The concept of balance in aid provision is central to the action proposed by the Council.
