En aftale om disse punkter vil uden tvivl virke frem mende på muligheden for at nå frem til enighed om helheden og skabe fundamentet for en ny interinstitutionel aftale, som skal forhandles i løbet af de kommende måneder.
We are prepared to accept that it should be introduced in stages and extended sector by sector, and we can begin with a basic minimum.
Vi indtager således en ansvar lig holdning, men hvis Rådet ønsker konfrontation, skal det vide, at det står over for et Parlament, der er fast besluttet på at forsvare sine rettigheder og dermed 340 mio. europæeres rettigheder.
But the principle must be firmly laid down since we believe that, if it is not firmly established there is no point in talking about the democratic development of the Community.
Gasòliba i Böhm (LDR). — (ES) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, den juridiske holdning og den bekymring og protest, vi reagerer med over for en ny spændt situation og uenighed mellem Kommissionen og Rådet på den ene side og Budgetudvalget på den anden, har både udvalgsformanden, hr. La Pergola, og hr. Desama givet udtryk for.
We are also calling for something more substantial — and I am grateful to President Delors for mentioning this — that has been on offer so far.
Før jeg går til sagens kerne, vil jeg gerne henlede opmærksomheden på et aspekt, som jeg finder vigtigt.
We cannot simply be given powers which might become largely irrelevant by the time of ratification.
Med disse stadige uoverensstemmelser, som desværre ikke er de første, vi har med Kommissionen om gennemføring af forsknings- og udviklingsprojekter, misligholdes faktisk et meget vigtigt mandat, som blev givet i Den Europæiske Fælles Akt til at udvikle forskning og udvikling.
There is a need to look beyond ratification and to ensure the continuous growth of Parliament's powers.
Vi er alle enige i, at forskning og udvikling er et område, som er aldeles grundlæggende for at for bedre Det Europæiske Fællesskabs konkurrenceevne over for vore japanske og nordamerikanske konkurrenter.
However, looking at the way the discussions are proceeding, one can only agree with Mr Cot that there is considerable disillusionment or, to put it bluntly, indignation.. Why this indignation ?
Vi er alle enige om, at det er en af grundpillerne.
What in fact is the European Parliament?
Og en af de fundamentale aftaler i Den Europæiske Fælles Akt går ud på at styrke og fremme EF-politikken for forskning og udvikling.
We are not just another diplomatic voice in the negotiations; we are the elected representatives of millions of European citizens.
Porrazzini (GUE). — (IT) Hr. formand, vores gruppe kan fuldt og helt tilslutte sig ordlyden i og formålet med hr. La Pergolas forespørgsel.
We are angry that they are behaving as if the European Parliament were a negligible quantity, as if our role was simply to embellish certain grey areas and deflect criticism from certain actions.
Bag diskussionen om denne 0,7% ligger der helt klart mere tungtvejende politiske grunde og ikke kun juridiske.
The second is the appointment of the Commission and of its President.
Vi står over for endnu et muligt, måske sandsynligt tilfælde af konflikt mellem institutionerne.
It must take place as President Delors has described it. It is not clear from the text before us that this will actually be the case.
Efter at trialogen fik en positiv afslutning, hvor Parlamentet dengang udviste stor åbenhed og ansvarlighed, regnede vi faktisk ikke med, at Rådet og Kommissionen senere ville bestræbe sig på at finde unødvendige grunde til modsætning.
Where the right to appoint the Commission is concerned — we already have the right to dismiss it — the relationship between Parliament and the Commission must involve having a genuine say and not just rubber-stamping what the Council has decided.
Hvad mener jeg med »bestræbe sig på«?
Are we capable of carrying out our tasks ?
Det er bestemt ikke rent trav.
That is the important question.
Og rent formelt bestrides den blandt andet af, at en del af de budgetposter, som skal ændres ved lovgivningsprocedure, har Kommissionen allerede forpligtet sig på, samt at der i sin tid ikke blev rettet antydning af indsigelse mod budget myndighedens afgørelser.
Does this Parliament have the necessary expertise ? Expressions of good will from the President of the Commission and the President-in-Office of the Council are not enough.
Hvert halve år konfronteres vi med Rådet og Kom missionen i procedurespørgsmål, som i virkeligheden er noget helt andet, for bag disse spørgsmål om procedure er det klart, at der er særinteresser og holdninger fra de medlemsstater, der ikke vil påtage sig de indgåede forpligtelser.
Thirdly, we want any amendments to the Treaties to be ratified by the European Parliament, otherwise there is the danger that — as has already happened to us where the present draft is concerned — changes will be secretly be made which limit the powers we have already obtained
Vi beder derfor også om, at forslaget tages tilbage.
I want comment on what President Delors said.
Vi noterer os en åbning fra kommissær Pandolfi, som taler om, at et samråd er påkrævet.
Looking at Articles 199 to 209 we have to state that the important thing is missing. You correctly pointed that out.
Men vi mener ikke, at tanken om et samråd er i modstrid med anmodning om tilbagetagning.
It is not a matter of adopting a form of words simply to give the impression that we exercise control over the powers in question.
Jeg vover at sige, at vi på denne måde hverken opfylder mandatet om den europæiske opbygning eller udvikler en af de politikker, som skulle være mest nyskabende og af størst betydning, og som støttes mest beslutsomt af alle de europæiske institutioner. tioner.
This brings me to the question of the democratic control of power. The European Parliament was appointed by the citizens of Europe to exercise political control over power — not just the power of the Commission but also the power of the Council and its bureaucracy.
Som udvalgsformanden, hr. La Pergola, med rette sagde i sin indledning, er det 0,7%, vi slås om.
That needed to be stated openly. I do not wish to go on making criticisms here ; I simply want to point out what Parliament expects from the Council and the Maastricht Summit.
Har det nogen mening, samtidig med, at der kun er tre
I only need to highlight three of the principles put forward, as they are the ones which we regard as the ultimate test of the success or failure of Maastricht to improve the
Bettini (V). — (IT) Hr. formand, det er ret vanskeligt at sige noget om emner, som vi alle er enige om, og som allerede er blevet behandlet grundigt. Der er
The impression is growing on us that they now realize more clearly that our interests go hand in hand and that the attempt to drive a wedge between us failed. They also realize that the powers they
Bettini ikke meget at tilføje til det, kollegerne har sagt.
KLEPSCH have lost and transferred to the European level have not been passed on to the European Parliament.
Jeg vil dog gerne på min gruppes vegne minde om, at hr. La Pergolas forespørgsel er yderst vedkommende og angår det meget vigtige og afgørende spørgsmål om ikke-nuklear energi.
And it was in Rome last year that the two conferences were opened. Now we are reaching the end of the procedure.
en forhøjelse på 90 mio. ECU. Det blev reduceret til 40 mio., fordi man forstod, at dette ville kunne tilfredsstille såvel Rådet som Kommissionen, og at Kommissionen ville gennemføre denne forøgelse.
This was clearly underlined at the Rome assizes.
Det. vi nu diskuterer her i dag, er. at Kommissionen nægter at opfylde sine forpligtelser i henhold til Traktaten til at gennemføre det lovligt vedtagne budget for 1991.
Our role today, as I see it, is not to deliver a final technical judgement on the 207 pages of the two treaties, since that would be a futile exercise in the few minutes available to us.
Og Kommissionen er gået videre endnu.
It is to essay a final political assessment, and that, as we were most pertinently reminded just now, is the natural role of this Parliament, the only democratically elected institution of the European Community.
Den har givet efter for politisk pres fra Rådet og har accepteret, at overslag er lovlige lofter.
However, the formula the Council is offering us, namely that we should indulge in empty razzmatazz, is meaningless.
Den har promoveret forslag til beslutninger, hvor med man ændrede tallene i det andet rammeprogram samt i det specifikke JOULE-program.
For us the question remains, what will we get by way of real codecision and joint responsibility ?
Disse forslag må tages tilbage.
That question will have to be answered at Maastricht.
Hr. formand, Kommissionens handlinger er også i indbyrdes modstrid.
On the attitude of this House and this group, I would say to our President, Mr Barón Crespo, that we agree with his assessment of the outcome of Nordwijk.
Forskningsprogrammerne inden for lægevidenskab, landbrug, fiskeri, transport og økonomi over steg alle de beløb, som var skønnet nødvendige i budgettet for 1991.
If one were to try to measure the texts that you have laid before us according to some kind of Richter scale gauging progress towards European union, and if this scale ran from 0 to 100, I think they would have to be given a rating — do not feel ill-judged, Mr President, I have given this a great deal of thought—in the region of 40.
Hvorfor har Kommissionen været i stand til at gennemføre disse seks andre ændringsforslag, uden at det var nødvendigt at vedtage ændringsbeslutninger vedrørende ramme programmet?
And the question now is whether the remaining weeks are going to see this figure rise to 50 or 60 or fall to, say, 30.
Hvis dette er hr. La Pergolas hensigt, mener jeg, han gør rigtigt i at bebrejde Kommissionen at spille Rådets spil. For det mener vi, den gør, når den accepterer at betragte det som faktiske maksimumsbeløb, som Parlamentet opfatter som udgifter, der skønnes nødvendige til rammeprogrammet i 5 år.
What in fact is going to determine the political verdict on these two treaties ?
Hr. La Pergola bebrejder Kommissionen, at den vil ændre en helt lovlig budgetafgørelse ad lovgivnings mæssig vej.
I should also have wished the text to affirm that this federation was to be extensively decentralized and, of course, to contain an explicit reference to the principle of subsidiarity.
Men vi skal ikke her gennemgå hele JOULE-programmets forskellige faser og hele sag sforløbet, når diskussionen kun drejer sig om 0.7%.
We are all fully agreed on this.
Vi mener, at vi ustandselig er vidner til et anslag mod Parlamentets demokratiske beføjelser — det er jo ikke første gang, vi diskuterer dette aspekt.
It is perhaps interesting to point out that there is no division along national lines or between the political groups on this question.
Trak taterne er klare, de beskriver de institutioner, der har budgetbeføjelser, og deres respektive kompetence.
We are united in the struggle to make the European Community more democratic and to ensure that those who wield power are brought under democratic control.
Parlamentet er en budgetmyndighed, og Kommissionen skal på grundlag af Traktaterne blot udøve de afgørelser, som træffes af denne budgetmyndighed. Hvis den ikke gjorde det, ville det være en yderst alvorlig handling.
We are opposed to the introduction of any procedures which muddy the waters and which extend rather than restrict the grey areas. I am therefore at one with President Delors on this issue.
Og endnu mere alvorligt er det, at Kommissionen har det særlige mandat at sørge for, at Traktaterne overholdes og vogte over, at de anvendes.
Do not, we urge you, agree to their removal under any circumstances.
Vi må ikke glemme Rådet, og vi kan derfor ikke tillade, at Kommissionen påtager sig rollen som soldat for et autoritært og uansvarligt Råd.
We must reduce the number of procedures and ensure that they are clear.
Jeg har ikke fidus til trepartsforhandlinger, når den bilaterale ikke har givet noget resultat.
I want to stress again that we believe that Article 183 (b) and (c) offers the best solution for all majority decisions since it clearly provides for the exercise of parliamentary control.
Formanden. — Forhandlingen er afsluttet.
The question facing us is whether Maastricht will succeed in providing the progress and breakthrough the European Community needs.
Vi går nu over til afstemning om anmodningen om afstemning snarest muligt.
In the case of monetary union, what are we going to be looking for when making our judgement ?
Afstemningen om selve beslutningsforslaget finder sted torsdag kl. 18.30.
Christian-Democrats as a whole both inside and outside this House are determined to see the European Community become a federation which safeguards the interests of the citizens of Europe and guarantees order.
Adam (S). — (EN) Hr. formand, lad der ikke herske tvivl i Parlamentet om, at da dette ændrings forslag til JOULE-programmet først blev stillet i Budgetudvalget, så stillede Kommissionen ikke spørgsmålstegne ved dets lovmedholdelighed.
GISCARD D'ESTAING (LDR). — (FR) Mr President, Mr President-in-Office, Mr President of the Commission, we have almost reached the end of this long Intergovernmental Conference procedure, which, as you will remember, started a considerable time ago.
Rådet gjorde indsigelser, men stillede heller ikke spørgsmålstegn ved budgettets lovmedholdelighed.

Even so President Bush was only elected by one in four of the American electorate. No one doubts that there is an American people, but is it possible to speak of a genuine democracy when only half the voters participate in the elections ?
