Jeg ville blot henstille til Parlamentet altid at huske på, at problemerne kun kan løses ved fredelig sam eksistens, ikke ved våbenmagt.
But they do not just want to hear the language of the diplomat — although I respect that. We are here to fight, and we shall use every peaceful means at our disposal to get what we want: a democratic Europe.
Alavanos (CG). — (GR) Hr. formand, for det første mener jeg, at dette er et positivt initiativ, som er taget af medlemmerne af De Grønnes gruppe.
Mr President, if a small outlying country can register achievements during its presidency this will confirm the logic and value of the Community system itself.
Det er ikke noget, der bør fremkalde negative reaktioner.
I wish the Irish presidency, Ireland and the Community success.
Capucho (LDR). — (PT) Hr. formand, jeg har med største interesse påhørt rådsformandens erklæring.
DONNELLY (S). — The President-in-Office addressed a number of points this morning, but I am sure that he is aware, as we are all aware, that inaugural speeches are not the basis upon which a president is judged.
Den Liberale og Demokratiske Gruppe har allerede udtalt sig indgående om den irske formandskabs arbejdsprogram for den seks måneders periode, der er starten på et nyt årti, som vi alle gætter på, vil være afgørende for Fællesskabets og Den Europæiske Unions fremtid.
A President-in-Office of the European Community or any other president is judged upon his or her achievements.
I den korte tid, jeg har til rådighed, vil jeg begrænse mig til at komme med nogle generelle bemærkninger og beder om nogle oplysninger vedrørende de emner, der især bekymrer mig.
That is the way in which we will judge the Irish presidency. We will make that judgement in July and August at the end of the presidency.
Hr. formand, jeg vil med det samme sige, at de fire store målsætninger for den irske formandskabsperiode synes korrekte og tydeligt fremførte, selv om vi må indrømme, at de ikke indeholder noget nyt: først den hurtige og sikre vej til opbygning af det indre marked og Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union uden at glemme det essentielle mål — Europas sociale dimension.
SARIDAKIS (PPE). — (GR) Mr President, as the President-in-Office of the Council of Ministers has himself said, the Community is not faced with a fundamental choice between deeper integration and wider cooperation with our European neighbours.
Endelig udviklingen af relationerne — politiske og andre — med vore europæiske naboer og det internationale samfund generelt, med en styrkelse af Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde. bejde.
However, it does face the challenge of combining this wider cooperation and solidarity with the countries which are now on the road to democracy, and of making its efforts in those respects and its aid to them more effective, while continuing its drive towards deeper, closer and more all-embracing unification within its own borders.
Den korte tid, jeg har til rådighed, vil jeg bruge til blot at omtale tre punkter.
In his address the President-in-Office referred to economic and monetary union.
Dette siger også noget om tiden.
I commend him for the way in which he spoke about these issues.
Endvidere mener vi, at Irland som et lille land og et af de svageste lande i Fællesskabet ligesom mit eget land, Grækenland, vil kunne gå mere aktivt ind i forhandlingerne med de socialistiske lande, således at de aftaler, der vil blive indgået, ikke kun passer til de store lande eller de store virksomheder, men giver mulighed for, at også de mindre fællesskabslande kan deltage reelt, aktivt og energisk i de nye processer.
Yes, I agree that our goal must be economic efficiency and improved competitiveness in inter national markets, but these aims will mean nothing unless we can give those goals a human face.
Det andet punkt, jeg gerne vil komme ind på, er, at der bør træffes konkrete foranstaltninger på det sociale område.
At the present time, the European Community is failing to give a human face to the actions and to the things that we are trying to implement within the Community.
Og til sidst det tredje punkt, som er, at det irske formandskab bør gribe ind i Rådet, så vi kan få nogle helt andre landbrugspriser og ledsageforanstaltninger end dem, Kommissionen foreslår.
We do not command the support yet of the 320 million people within the Community because we still seem to put the goals of industry and of multinationals above the requirements of our 320 million people.
Jeg mener ikke, vi kan acceptere prisnedsættelser på 7 eller 5%, sådan som det foreslås for citrusfrugter og bomuld.
These aims which the President-in-Office mentioned will mean nothing if there is no improvement in the quality of life for our people.
Kære kolleger, inden for udenrigspolitikken er det mere og mere presserende, at Europa taler mere med én stemme og mindre med et spredt og — lad det være sagt — ikke altid kohærent kor af tolv stem mer.
I hold firmly to the view that the European Community has long been and remains a beacon and a model for the peoples of Eastern Europe as regards social policy, economic organization and cooperation between countries.
Vi har også bemærket det irske formandskabs erklæring om at bestræbe sig på at styrke samarbejdet med Parlamentet, idet det tager hensyn til det institutionelle ansvar, vi har og den demokratiske legitimitet, vi personificerer.
Without the presence of this Community of ours and the hope for a better future that it has inspired in other peoples, developments in Central and Eastern Europe might well have moved at a different pace, at least, and possibly have taken a different form.
Vi håber, at denne erklæring ikke blot er en høflighedsfrase, men en fast vilje til at komme ud over mindre korrekte procedurer i vore indbyrdes relationer, og en bestræ-
Furthermore, without this European Community, and, most importantly, without the ultimate prospect that it holds out, relations between the two superpowers would, without any doubt, have been different qualitatively speaking.
Capucho at Europa og Fællesskabet er i stand til at leve op til de udfordringer, der for tiden kommer fra Mellemog Østeuropa.
DONNELLY grateful for the comments of the President-in-Office when he talked about relationships with Parliament.
Uden et rigtigt parlament, uden et stærkt parlament kan vi ikke klare at opbygge fremtidens Europa forsvarligt.
I think that is particularly true in the six months that face the Irish presidency so that, in addition to the housekeeping, minding-the-shop role, the Irish presidency is going to be faced with the possibility of taking serious political initiatives for the future of the Community.
I den sammenhæng skal for mig helt klart to ting stå i forgrunden.
But what does that commitment given by the President-in-Office actually mean ?
Den ene, vor hovedopgave, er Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union.
If that is his commitment, then I welcome that.
Vi har vedtaget, at der i slutningen af i år skal finde en regeringskonference sted, som skal beskæftige sig med dette spørgsmål, men vi skal bruge dette år til at træffe visse retningsvisende beslutninger.
Does it mean that on economic and monetary union the President-in-Office will welcome the desire of this House to be fully involved in stage 1, including the accountability of the Committee of Central Bankers ? If that is his commitment, I welcome it.
Tillad mig en bemærkning: De ledende mænd ved dette rundbord af eksperter var, skulle nogen være i tvivl, central bankernes direktionsformænd.
Could this perhaps mean that you will support the use of the qualified majority in voting on key social legislation ?
Hver direktionsformand for en centralbank har et barn med til dette meeting: sin egen valuta.
Does it mean that you will support the initiative that Mr Desmond mentioned earlier today for a Delors report, with the same status as the Delors report on EMU, on the social dimension so that we have a balanced programme during the next couple of years?
Rapporten genspejler da også, at der var tolv mænd med hver sit barn.
If that is your commitment then I welcome that commitment.
Hr. formand, jeg tillader mig at understrege en udeladelse i Deres tale, idet jeg er sikker på, at sagen er medtaget i det irske formandskabs arbejdsprogram.
The main feature on the political horizon is, of course, the intergovernmental conference scheduled for the end of the year to discuss economic and monetary union.
Det drejer om den manglende omtale af den økonomiske og sociale samhørighed, som er et essentielt princip i opbygningen af det indre marked og eksponent for den indre solidaritet, som skal slås fast i det Fællesskab, vi er i gang med at opbygge.
Economic and monetary union has to be seen in the context of the evolution of the Community. I think it is common case that we saw economic and monetary union as being the first necessary step, a condition precedent, to the achievement of political union.
Jeg gentager, at det er sikkert blot en forglemmelse; det ville være paradoksalt hos det irske formandskab at notere mindre interesse for at forsvare der økonomiske og sociale samhørighedsprincip.
But the recent events in the Soviet Union and especially the developments in Eastern Europe over the last number of months have provoked a realization that only a fully integrated Community can be relied on to preserve its own cohesion and, at the same time, have the capacity to deal with the political and economic changes in the countries of Eastern Europe.
Kun ecu'en, den europæiske valuta, giver mig i denne rapport af og til det indtryk, at den er et forældreløst barn!
A fully integrated Community is one that is both politically and economically united.
Hvis vi ønsker, at den europæiske økonomiske og monetære union også af borgerne skal opfattes som en realitet, må vi ikke i sidste instans skabe et monetært system, som ganske vist har faste vekselkurser, men fortsat tolv forskellige valutaer.
Consequently, in the timetable which envisages economic union as followed by political union, there is the possibility of too much delay.
For enden af denne vej skal der snarere stå en fælles ensartet europæisk valuta.
Both objectives will now have to be pursued in tandem rather than in succession.
Til slut, hr. formand, vil jeg gerne have lov til at bede om to korte oplysninger vedrørende specifikke emner.
Does it mean that in relation to the market, you will respond to the reports that are emanating now from the Commissioner responsible for regional development?
For det andet, hvilke nye ideer det irske formand skab har vedrørende problemet med kontrol af de ydre grænser; det er et afgørende skridt for at sikre menneskenes frie bevægelighed, og det kræver nødvendigvis De Tolv's solidaritet.
If that is your commitment then I welcome it. Those regions need protection and I hope the Irish presidency will give the strength of their support to those regions.
Jeg tror, at Fællesskabet udvikler en plan til, hvorledes grænseproblemerne kan løses.
The agenda for the intergovernmental conference has not been set.
Her i dette landskab var der en grænse, som der tidligere er blevet udkæmpet mange blodige krige om.
Beginning work on setting that agenda will be one of the most important tasks facing the Irish presidency.
I dag taler ingen mere om denne grænse, fordi den bliver stadig mere åben, fordi det er muligt at overskride denne grænse, fordi det er muligt for borgerne at bo og arbejde på begge sider af grænsen, som de ønsker.
I would urge the Irish presidency to ensure that there is a broadly based agenda, an agenda that is sufficiently broad to deal not just with economic and monetary union, but can also take into account and put on the table political union so that the two can go in tandem and so that our Community can develop to meet the huge challenges now facing it.
Vi har vist, hvorledes man løser problemer ved at åbne grænser.
I hope when we consider in July and August your achievements, we will have seen real progress in many of these areas.
Men vi skal stadig tage det sidste skridt, nemlig den definitive åbning af grænsen, og derfor var det for os som medlemmer af Europa-Parlamentet et alarmsignal, at det i slutningen af sidste år ikke lykkedes at få undertegnet Schengen aftalen.
If we do not see progress in these areas then the President-in-Office will have failed to meet the goals that he has set himself in his inaugural speech.
Kort sagt tror jeg, at, vi kan være tilfredse ved at se i det arbejdsprogram, der er blevet forelagt — et program, der ikke er overdrevent ambitiøst, men hviler på sund politisk fornuft.
There is already available to the presidency a draft treaty adopted by this Parliament which could be the basis for discussions on political union.
Jeg vil gerne ønske det irske formandskab stor succes; det er det samme som at ønske, at opbygningen af fremtidens Fælles skab må lykkes.
There is a historic opportunity for the Irish presidency to use its strategic presence at this period of 1990 to set the agenda for the intergovernmental conference.
Det irske formandskab kan regne med vor aktive og kritiske støtte, men også med vor solidaritet — fællesskabssolidaritet og atlantisk solidaritet. daritet.
If it deals urgently with the task of putting economic and monetary union in place and at the same time or very quickly, puts political union in place, it will have achieved a historic breakthrough.
von Wogau (PPE). — (DE) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, vi skal i dag gøre os klart, hvorledes Kommission, Råd og Parlament skal prioritere i det næste halve år og til næste år.
COONEY (PPE). — Mr President, first of all I would like to welcome the President-in-Office to Parliament and to offer him my good wishes for a successful term in office.
Her kan vi allerede før 1992 demonstrere, at problemer, som optræder i forbin delse med åbne grænser, kan løses, og derfor skal dette have den næsthøjeste prioritering.
FUCHS (S). — (FR) Mr President, in politics following up and implementing decisions is often just as
Ser jeg ret, var hovedårsagen til, at undertegnelsen af Schengen-aftalen ikke blev til noget, den kendsgerning, at man ikke kunne blive enige om visum pligten for borgere fra DDR.
FUCHS within the Community lead to free entry to the Community with no conditions attached for cars manufactured elsewhere, notably in Japan ?
Her vil jeg foreslå to trin. For det første en ubureaukratisk løsning, når grænsen overskrides.
Do you believe, as I do, that the Community should take part in world trade talks with the intention of expanding trade but also of defending its own interests with just as much vigour — no more and no less — as the other powers involved in the talks, and with the same weapons ?
Jeg skal på de minut ter, jeg har til rådighed, begrænse mig til et område, som jeg finder af afgørende betydning på indeværende tidspunkt; afgørende i sig selv og afgørende, fordi det er blevet trådt under fode: Det Politiske Samarbejde.
But the word 'substantial' will only really be justified if the Irish presidency keeps up the momentum of the Community, and as a French Member I would say to the President-in-Office that he bears no less a responsibility than this predecessors.
Det Politiske Samarbejde, disse smukke ord, der i vid udstrækning er den konkrete eksponent for Europas mulige enhed, brød sammen den 29. december.
Firstly on social issues. You expressed you support for a detailed programme of action on the Social Charter, but what will your priorities be from the long list of measures proposed by the Commission ?
Der er procedurerne langt vanskeligere.
With regard to VAT, do you intend to implement the agreement reached at the last Economic and Financial Council?
Det første skridt skulle derfor bestå i en ubureaukratisk procedure, når DDR-borgere overskrider grænsen til Frankrig eller til Benelux-landene.
Do you intend to back it up, as Parliament wants, with a commitment to standardizing minimum VAT so that we can then move to a system in which zero-rating for intraCommunity exports can be abolished?
Det irske formandskab må udfolde store bestræbelser på dette område, for den 29. december vedtog FN's Generalforsamling resolution nr. 44/240, der fordømmer invasionen af Panama.
Do you intend that all restrictions on duty-free status at internal borders should be abolished by 1 January 1993, as this is the best guarantee of standardization of VAT rates ?
Efter den 6. maj, efter valget i DDR, skulle der efter min mening være mulighed for aftaler, ifølge hvilke der gensidigt gives definitivt afkald på visum mellem disse lande.
What is your position on taxation of largescale savings, which I believe to be essential not only for reasons of fiscal fairness but also to create at last the concept of the Community tax resident.
Jeg tror bestemt, at dette problem kan løses, og at vi skal bestræbe os til det yderste på, at Schengen-aftalen undertegnes i første halvår af 1990, således at ratificering er mulig senest midt i 1991; Schengen må nemlig blive til virkelighed før 1992, for kuldsejler dette pilotprojekt, vil vi i 1992 være i store vanskeligheder, når vi skal være tolv om at løse problemet.
Do you hope to get agreement by 1 July on a minimum amount of cooperation between civil services and judicial authorities from the last Member State that is opposing any progress in this area ?
75 lande stemte for FN-resolutionen, der fordømte USA's intervention i Panama, 20 stemte imod og 40 afholdt sig fra at stemme.
I would, however, add that I should like to detect in what he said also a strategic view that goes beyond the mere listing of individual questions.
Af de tyve, der stemte imod resolutionen, var ni medlemmer af EF; et af medlemslandene, Spanien, stemte politisk værdigt, og to lande, Irland og Grækenland, afholdt sig fra at stemme, hvorved de — efter min mening — tilkendegav, at de stemte for mulig værdighed.
From the Irish Presidency we expect, in fact, a thrust to ensure that, in the evolutionary process towards the single market, special attention is devoted in particular to the most depressed regions and areas of Europe.
Vi bør imidlertid tage endnu et initiativ, nemlig at indkalde til en kongres mellem Europas parlamenter her i Strasbourg; det skal ikke være en forsamling, der skal træffe afgørelser, men den skal have bred demokratisk legitimation.
President-in-Office Mr Collins fully illustrated the European scenario over recent months, and has sketched the role that the Community can and must have vis-à-vis the Eastern countries and their evolution towards democracy.
Den vil på en ikke hidtil set måde repræsentere de demokratiske kræfter i hele Europa, den vil ikke være bundet til bestemte emner, men være noget friere.
This evolutionary process, which also means their attraction to the Community, makes it incumbent upon us in the first place, however, to strengthen the process of building the Community itself, not only as regards the creation of the single market but also, and essentially so, for the implementation of the People's Europe.
Dermed vil vi få chancen for sammen med vore kolleger fra medlemslandene i Det Europæiske Fællesskab at fremsætte og drøfte vore forslag ikke kun til Det Europæiske Fællesskabs fremtid, men til Europas fremtid.
This in turn commits us to moving towards the implementation of the social principles — strengthening in our citizens, in other words, the need for Europe, freedom of movement, the workers' right of establishment, about which we have only so far talked in relation to students and those who find themselves in economically favourable circumstances; but we have also, however, to talk about the workers' right of establishment, the problem of transport, the unemployment question, etc. — all of these subjects that are very much to the fore in the awareness of European citizens, and that indicate the way to make the People's Europe grow.
Jeg mener, at hvad der hørtes i denne afstemning om FN-resolutionen, var vankelmodets stemme.
Some people believe we should have two intergovern mental conferences to look separately at institutional and monetary changes to the current treaty.
Og når Det Europæiske Fællesskab ikke kan nå frem til enighed, og medlemmerne stemmer imod hinanden i en så alvorlig sag, betyder det, at Det Politiske Samarbejde ikke eksisterer, at Det Politiske Samarbejde med en metafor ikke er andet end et sminkørrum til at gøre komedien præsentabel.
I believe a monetary conference that did not look at the next question of which European institutions a European central bank system would be accountable to for doing its job would not be acceptable to Parliament.
Intet andet.
Do you agree ?
Hvad består Det Europæiske Samarbejde i, hr. råds formand?
My last group of questions concerns the Community's attitude to the rest of the world on economic matters.
Består det blot i at nå frem til enighed om farven på ministrenes slips på ministermøderne? Dette er en alvorlig sag, hr. rådsformand.
Do you believe completion of the internal market should be accompanied by the dropping of all regulation vis-à-vis nonCommunity countries ?
Jeg er sikker på, at den irske formandsperiode vil bibringe Fællesskabets for tiden forvirrede klima den nødvendige dosis politisk klarsyn, for det er ikke for intet, hr. rådsformand, at De er landsmand til en af dette århundredes mest klarttænkende per soner, James Joyce.
We hope that the Irish presidency will be able to provide the maximum guarantee that these imbalances will be eliminated, so that — when the time comes — as it inevitably will — that we are face to face with the other European States that will ask to join the Community, we shall not have a three-tier Europe — an A-tier Europe, a B-tier Europe and, possibly, a C-tier Europe.
Den tredje fortolkning er den sørgeligste, og jeg tror, det er den rigtige.
We shall not accept a market without rules, and Ireland can be the architect of a policy along these lines.
For nu, da vi bryder ud i klage over Oktoberrevolutionen, er EF's vankelmodighed at ligne med en troshandling, som jeg ikke tør give navn.
This raises again the question of the structural Funds to which, Mr President, you made the briefest of references in your statement.
Synes De, det er særlig sjovt, at vi alle med denne indbyrdes modstridende holdning mellem EF-landene bliver reduceret til undersåtter?
As I was saying, the structural Funds are an instrument, not for the provision of charity or aid but for determining development processes; they must therefore be revised, insofar as the method of their application is concerned, and their financing must be expanded.
Efter min mening bør det irske formandskab gøre en meget større indsats på Det Politiske Samarbejdes område, for hvis Fællesskabet fortsat begrænser sig til en klub af økonomiske interesser, kommer vi ingen vegne.
This could well be, for example, a commitment that would single out the Irish presidency.
Jeg vandrede i sidste uge igennem Dresden i Østtyskland, og mens jeg græd indvendig over tabet af denne bys vidunderlige kulturarv, blev jeg samtidig klar over, at der var noget svagt bekendt over byen.
When I met Minister Flynn last week in Dublin, I said to him that I listened with great interest to what he had to say, but that, since he was the 21st President-in-Office of the Environment Council that I had listened to over the years, I reserved the right to be a little sceptical about the programme.
Man fortalte mig, at man kun kunne bruge de bløde brunkul, eller at man rent faktisk kun bruger de bløde brunkul som energi kilde.
We are also very keen that there should be an environmental agency established and I should like to see it established firmly during the Irish presidency.
Hr. rådsformand, jeg er klar over, at det irske formandskab får det vanskeligt med denne sag.
It is also good to see that the Irish presidency recognizes that environment is a global matter.
Jeg kender Deres mod. Jeg ønsker Dem alt muligt held på dette område.
Parliament is very keen to make sure that existing legislation on environment is actually implemented in all the Member States.
Der er en vis værdi i at få placeret et agentur i et lille, afsidesliggende land, som ikke er overforsynet med europæiske institutioner, netop som vort land.
We also hope that the Irish presidency will recognize that it has the presidency during the preparatory work for the intergovernmental conference.
