Hr. formand, vi skal imidlertid igennem en foruroligende overgangsperiode inden 1992.
MARTIN, David (S). — Mr President, I believe that at the end of this debate we should remind ourselves that it is more than just a cliché to say that Europe is literally at a crossroads at the present time.
Den er foruroligende, fordi vi nu grundlægger det Europa, som skal opstå i 1993, og dette vil være afgørende for, om det endelige mål bliver en Europæisk Union.
Decisions we take in the next four years will determine the shape of Europe well into the next century.
Vi tror derfor, at Den Europæiske Unions form og hastigheden, hvormed den gennemføres, afhænger af resultaterne fra anvendelsen af Den Fælles Akt.
The tragedy for the Community is that, so far, the average citizen has hardly been touched by that debate.
Vil alle de politikker, som er indeholdt i Den Fælles Akt, blive gennemført eller ikke?
It may be unusual for a British Member to say so, but I actually welcome the contributions to the debate of Jacques Delors and Margaret Thatcher.
Det er det mest kritiske spørgsmål, som vi alle stilles overfor i dag.
That debate and the sharply different views that they have put forward have forced the average European citizen to start thinking about what sort of Europe he wants to live in in the next century.
Hr. formand, en sidste bemærkning.
Mrs Thatcher has made her views crystal clear.
Modsat det, fru Thatcher tror, er vi tilhængere af Den Europæiske Union af pragmatiske og ikke bare af ideologiske årsager.
When she talks about bringing down the barriers to trade inside the European Community, she does not mean passport controls, customs posts, differing educational standards or differing standards for goods.
Vi værdsætter og forsvarer, ligesom hun gør det, vor nationale identitet, vore traditioner i under visning, vore skikke, vor kulturarv.
What she means are trade union rights, women's rights and the right to high standards of health and safety at work.
Men forskellen ligger i, at vi erkender, at ingen af vore lande kan overleve alene, og netop for at bevare den største og mest værdifulde af al europæisk arv — respekten for menneskets uudslettelige karakteregenskaber, værdig hed og frihed — må vi arbejde for en europæisk politisk union.
I want to speak in this debate not as a British Member — I do not want to harp on about Mrs Thatcher's vision of Europe — I want to speak as a European MP putting forward a European vision. I believe that the average European citizen will back the vision put for ward by Jacques Delors.
Avgerinos (S). — (GR) Hr. formand, vi har nu i nogle år befundet os ved en vigtig korsvej på vejen henimod den europæiske integration.
BRU PURON (S). — (ES) Mr President, I have just been applauding Mr Martin and I am now going to confirm my applause in words.
Med anvendelsen af Den Fælles Akt rejses nye spørgsmål vedrørende den europæiske foreningsproces' politiske og sociale ret ning.
However, let us get back to Strasbourg from Westminster and let us con centrate upon the reports by Graziani, Valverde and Planas.
Arbejderne undrer sig over, at et forbrugsprogram skulle svare til den sociale dimension af det indre marked.
I believe I heard Mr Prout talk about theoretical speculation or political union.
I løbet af det første halvandet år med denne institutionelle reorganisering er spørgsmålene nu blevet mere indtrængende: Hvilken vej skal Fællesskabet følge for fremtiden?
I should like to refer especially to the contribution by Mr Planas. The Council's contribution on political cooperation was a wall of silence.
Vil modellen med »de to hastigheder« blive afskaffet og hvordan?
Mr Planas offers us walls, too, but in the form of a true edifice.
I Rådets årsrapport vedrørende fremskridt henimod Den Europæiske Union står der, at »Den Fælles Akts ikrafttrædelse er et bevis på, at den europæiske integrationsproces finder sted og udvikles«. Men er dette en garanti og for hvem?
He has made it clear when he talks about building Europe that social solidarity is not a barrier to European Union, but is a prerequisite for it.
For det første giver proceduren med samstemmende udtalelse i forbindelse med tiltrædelsestraktater, associeringsaftaler eller heraf følgende protokoller Europa-Parlamentet en slags medansvar, hvad angår Fællesskabets eksterne økonomiske politik.
However, Mr President, apart from the measures relating to the period up to 1992 the most important thing regarding the substance of the three reports is the realistic decision on European Union.
Det bør be mærkes, at denne procedure ikke gælder for økonomiske aftaler af betydeligt omfang, som Rådet har
European Union will not emerge by magic like the rabbit from
Det er tydeligt, at visse personer ikke har forstået, at der kun vil ske en udviklende forvandling af med lemsstaternes relationer til en europæisk union på grundlag af Den Fælles Akt, hvis der kan gives et positivt svar på følgende to spørgsmål: Ønsker vi skabelsen af et socialt Europa som forudsætning for virkeliggørelsen af Den Fælles Akt?
The completion of the internal market for us will be pointless if it does not embrace the poor regions and the poor people of the Community, if it does not bring benefits to consumers and to workers as well as to owners and to managers. I firmly believe that we will not get such policies in an undemocratic Community as long as this Parliament remains a toothless body.
Ønsker vi en styrkelse af den økonomiske samhørighed, så der kan ske en mindskelse af de regionale uligheder?
As long as major decisions affecting the average citizen are taken behind closed doors in the Council of Ministers, no progress will be made in obtaining and forcing on the Community a social agenda.
Den samstemmende udtalelse udgør et virkeligt kvalitativt fremskridt for Europa-Parlamentet, og det har tredjelandene straks forstået. Det har jeg personligt været vidne til.
First, I shall not be discussing political cooperation since, as you know, the Commission is in attendance at meetings on this subject but has no competence in the field of foreign policy.
Denne procedure styrker Parlamentets politiske be tydning langt ud over procedurens anvendelsesområde. Men når det er sagt, må man ikke blande funktionerne sammen.
Lastly, I shall be concentrating on the Single Act and what has been done to implement it, giving both the good and bad sides of the story.
Europa-Parlamentet kan ikke direkte gribe ind i forhandlingerne, da det er en opgave, der påhviler Fællesskabets udøvende organer, og det kan heller ikke træde i forhandlernes sted. Det nærer Par lamentet for øvrigt heller intet ønske om.
We shall, I trust, have an opportunity for a broader discussion on the future of the Community during the debate held on the occasion of the investiture of the new Commission.
Ministerrådet begynder at forstå det, og i denne forbindelse vil jeg gerne rette en særlig tak til den pågældende kommissær, hr. Willy De Clercq.
I note in passing that several speakers were honest and candid enough to acknowledge that the Single Act was a much more valuable document than they had thought at first.
Det er i virkeligheden et magtfuldt fagforeningsfjendtligt instrument til over flyttelse af produktionen i hele Europa til billigere arbejdsmarkeder uden for fagforeningerne.
For all this, there is no alternative to democratic power, the power of the vote, the power of the majority in Parliament and the power of a true European government.
For det tredje vil jeg til sidst sige, at aftalernes gen nemførelse nøje bør følges af Parlamentet.
Some, like Mrs Thatcher, have shown they are against any idea of European Union.
Europa-Parlamentet har fået nye beføjelser og nyt ansvar, hvad angår kontrollen med og orienteringen af Fællesskabets eksterne økonomiske politik.
At the same time, though, they have demonstrated that on social matters they suffer from wooden mouth.
Spørgsmålet er så, hvordan man skal benytte sig deraf som led i en mellemfristet strategi.
They have, for example, denied their workers the opportunity to participate in the undertaking that employs them.
Andre igen mener, at Pariamenet ved at trække godkendelsen ud har opnået en forbedring af aftalerne.
That is why, Mr President, those voices in this House who are to be heard saying that they want a social Europe but without passing through the stage of a political Europe in order to get it are voices who do not know what they want.
I alle tilfælde er det mere i form af indflydelse end magt, at man på dette område vil måle Pariamentes rolle og effektivitet.
An impor tant factor here has been the beneficial influence that wider use of voting by qualified majority has' had, both directly and indirectly.
Parlamentet vil få større indflydelse, hvis det udøver sine nye beføjelser med måde hold, på ansvarsbevidst måde og i snævert samarbejde med Kommissionen, som er underlagt dets kon trol og styrkes af Parlamentets støtte i de forhandlinger, som den fører på Fællesskabets vegne.
Even before the Single Act came into force, this influence began to make itself felt; the start was in 1986, during the course of which over a 100 decisions were taken by qualified majority, under the successive presidencies of the Netherlands and the United King dom. I must give credit where it is due.
Huckfield (S). — (EN) Hr. formand, der er tre indlæg fra Labour-gruppen, fordi gruppen har besluttet, at der skal være fri afstemning om Graziani-betænkningen.
DELORS, President of the Commission. — (FR) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, may I first of all thank the rapporteurs and the speakers, all of them without exception for I believe we are among friends and the first rule among friends is to refrain from distorting the other man's views or, where the Commission is concerned, from distortion of either its views or its actions, of the kind that I have been hearing, particularly from certain leading figures, not Members of this Flouse.
Til trods herfor vil jeg mene, at der er langt færre store meningsforskelle inden for Labour-gruppen end dem, vi allerede har været vidne til inden for de britiske konservative i eftermiddag her i salen.
I use the plural advisedly. However, as I have said before, there is more common ground than dissension between us, and we should bear in mind the progress made sinde 1984.
Det er en illusion for arbejder- og fagforeningsbevægelsen, først og fremmest fordi der ikke findes nogen nøjagtig, egentlig eller meningsfuld definition af arbej dernes rettigheder.
Contrary to what had been feared, there have been very few derogations, and many of those agreed have taken the form of a transitional period to allow certain countries to adjust to the pace of European progress.
Val Duchesse-àiaìogzris, procedure, som der henvises til, er blot en snakkemaskine.
A case in point was the decision on liberalization of capital movements.
De afgørelser, vi træffer i de kommende fire år, vil afgøre, hvilken skikkelse Europa får et godt stykke ind i det næste århundrede.
Delors not be suggested that it amounts to a form of brake on implementation of the institutional part of the Single Act.
Det er Fællesskabets tragedie, at gennemsnitsborgeren hidtil næppe er blevet berørt af denne debat. Måske det er usædvanligt for et britisk medlem at tale sådan, men jeg hilser faktisk Jacques Delors' og Margaret Thatchers bidrag til debatten velkommen.
have to be thought through on both sides; in parti­cular, we must discuss the relative importance attached to the first and second readings and the construction to be put on your Rules of Procedure on a number of points, notably the question of amendments.
Det, der karakteriserer fru Thatcher i forhold til de fleste andre stats overhoveder, heriblandt mange lige så højredrejede i andre medlemsstater, er hendes manglende evne til at gå på kompromis eller have nogen anden vision ud over hendes egen snævre opfattelse af samfundet og hendes egen snævre opfattelse af Det Europæiske Fællesskab.
Commitology is no longer the impenetrable jungle that would have made it impossible for you, as poten­tial legislators, to get on with your job — impossible for you and for everyone interested in European issues.
Vi i denne side af salen ønsker at opbygge et demokratisk Fællesskab.
No, there are now a few reference models. That in itself represents progress.
Jeg tror, at socialisternes synspunkter og de, ikke nødvendigvis socialistiske synspunkter, formanden for Kommissionen og flertallet i forsamlingen har, vil vinde overhånd, og at vi vil komme til at opleve et socialt integreret og demokratisk Europa et godt stykke ind i det næste århundrede.
As matters stand, what happens if Parliament rejects a proposal for a directive? There is no decision, ladies and gentlemen, unless the Council is unani­mous, whereas according to the formula I proposed with Mr Tindemans, the Commission's proposal, as revised to take account of the European Parliament's amendments, would have been deemed to have been adopted unless the Council had rejected it by a simply majority.
Jeg håber, jeg kan spille en rolle i opbygningen af dette Europa.
You will grant me that this formula would have been much better and would have been more democratic and more efficient in the results it achieved.
Når hun taler om at ophæve hindringerne for handel inden for Det Europæiske Fællesskab, mener hun ikke paskontrol, toldsteder, varierende uddannelsesnormer eller divergerende produktstandarder.
This comes down to two practical aspects: the setting up of an interinstitutional working group, and the procedure for adopting a legislative calendar when the Commission submits its annual pro­gramme.
Det, hun mener, er fagforeningsrettigheder, kvinders ret tigheder og retten til høje standarder for sundhed og sikkerhed på arbejdspladsen.
I shall be available from now to the end of December to discuss with Parliament ways in which we can improve this procedure and then make contact as necessary with the third partner, the Council.
Jeg tror, at den almindelige europæiske borger vil støtte den vision, Jacques Delors har givet udtryk for.
That completes my comments on the interinstitutional aspect of the Single Act.
Bru Purón (S). — (ES) Hr. formand, jeg skal nu i ord stadfæste det bifald, jeg netop har givet hr. Martin.
Where efficiency as such is concerned, the picture is less clear.
Men lad os fra Westminster vende tilbage til Strasbourg og koncentrere os om Graziani, Valverde- og Planas-betænkningerne.
The Council did not adopt its decision lay­ing down the arrangements for the exercise of the executive powers vested in the Commission until July 1987, to expressions of regret and reservations from the Commission and protests from Parliament.
Jeg takker ordførerne, der ef ter min mening har givet et stort bidrag, ikke blot med hensyn til teoretiske spekulationer om den politiske union — som jeg mener at have hørt fra hr. Prouts side — men som også har peget på praktiske og konkrete veje til bedst muligt at udnytte de muligheder, der ligger i Den Fælles Akt.
I must point out that although the intergovernmental confer­ence invited the Council to give preponderance to the advisory committee procedure in deliberations on the internal market, this commitment has not been hon­oured in practice. In only five cases has the Council opted for the advisory committee procedure.
Jeg skal specielt fremhæve hr. Planas' bidrag, når han oven på denne tavshedens mur, der er bygget af Rådets manglende oplysninger om Det Politiske Samarbejde, peger på, hvordan murene i en virkelig bygning kan konstrueres. res.
In 10 cases it has adopted delegation arrangements allowing national civil servants scope for blocking decisions, and in 16 it has chosen to use formulas not even offer­ing any guarantee that the measures envisaged would be adopted.
Når han taler om at bygge Europa, har han gjort det klart, at social solidaritet ikke er nogen hindring for europæisk union, men en forudsætning for den.
In yet other cases it has decided to exer­cise executive powers itself rather than delegate them to the Commission, the Twelve having failed to reach agreement on the basis on which powers were to be delegated.
Vi i denne side af salen giver dette synspunkt vor fulde støtte, og vi ønsker ham alt muligt held i hans bestræbelser på at opbygge et socialt Europa.
The Commission was therefore anxious to give this detailed account, which will be supplemented in the report mentioned by Mr Croux, which you will be receiving in, I think, January 1989.
Fuldførelsen af det indre marked vil for os være for målsløs, hvis ikke den omfatter de fattige regioner og de fattige mennesker i Fællesskabet, hvis ikke den til godeser forbrugerne og arbejdstagerne foruden virk somhedsejere og - ledere.
The third and final point here is involvement of the European Parliament in the legislative process.
Det er min faste overbevisning, at vi ikke vil få sådanne politikker i et udemokratisk Fællesskab, så længe Europa- Parlamentet for bliver tandløst.
I agree with the terms in which Mr Mallet described the importance of the parliamentary assent procedure, and can only endorse his comments on the manner and spirit in which Parliament should use it.
Ligesom mine kolleger, Les Huckfield og Barry Seal, støtter jeg ikke hele indholdet af Graziani-betænkningen.
Despite the fears of some delegations at the intergovernmental conference, Par­liament has done nothing to delay decisions.
Men måske til forskel fra dem vil jeg stemme for Graziani- betænkningen med den begrundelse, at den bringer debatten videre.
That is a contribution to democratization of decisionmaking that I thought it worthwhile noting as of now, and I hope it sets the trend for the future.
I henhold til Parlamentets ønske vil for det andet det af hr. Donnez og hr. Herman rejste spørgsmål blive gjort til genstand for en forhandling ved afslutningen af den igangværende.
Delors be forwarded to the European Parliament at the same time as to the Member States' governments. What is more important is that significant measures have been taken on the four freedoms: freedom of movement for persons, goods, services and capital.
forsamling efter valgene.
That is what the Twelve said.
Når det spanske Socialist parti stemte imod, er det, fordi det ønsker en seriøs gennemførelse af den politiske union.
Under Article 118a, we have submitted proposals for regulations concerning hygiene, health and safety conditions for workers.
Og endelig vil jeg for det tredje koncentrere mig om Den Fælles Akt og dens gennemførelse, hvad angår både dens lyse og dens mørke sider. Forhåbentlig får vi lejlighed til at afholde en anden stor debat om Fællesskabets fremtid i videre forstand i forbindelse med diskussionen og forhandlingen ved den nye Kommissions indsættelse.
To conclude on this point, we are in consultation with the Economic and Social Committee on the desirability and possible content of a Community charter of workers' rights, after the example of the texts drafted by the International Labour Office for countries will ing to accept their terms.
Den inde holder efter min mening to væsentlige elementer ud over det formaliserede politiske samarbejde.
It is going to be possible to get these new policies under way next year.
Dels en institutionel del — bedre beslutningstagning, bedre gennemførelse og også større inddragelse af Europa-Parlamentet i det lovgivingsmæssige arbejde — dels en indholdsmæssig del — fastsættelse af indbyrdes forbundne mål, hvis gennemførelse skal give mulig hed for at drage alle de ventede fordele af det store marked uden grænser.
To ensure a smooth start, the Commission is currently making advance preparations by touring the capital cities in an attempt to finalize the formulas that will enable the 'Objective V regions in particular to submit their programmes by 31 March 1989.
Jeg bemærker i forbifarten, at flere talere med ærlighed og åbenhed erkendte, at Den Fælles Akt er langt bedre, end de troede til at begynde med.
All of this is being done in a spirit of partnership, which is probably the outstanding new hallmark of these flanking policies.
Fru Thatcher har været fuldstændig konsekvent: Hun ønsker ikke det politiske Europa, fordi hun ikke ønsker det sociale Europa.
Despite that, how ever, the sectoral programmes are being set up successfully, with arrangements that will be progressively more closely attuned to firms' requirements.
De stemmer, der i denne forsamling ønsker det sociale Europa, men uden det politiske Europa, ved ikke selv, hvad de ønsker.
There is not going to be just one framework, called Esprit, but an increasingly diverse range of formulas for Commission support to industry.
Bedre beslutningstagning: Den direkte eller indirekte vel gørende virkning af den større brug af afstemning med kvalificeret flertal bør understreges.
The first was the conclusion, among the countries within the European Monetary System, exchange mechanism, of the Basel-Nyborg agreements, which considerably strengthened the ability of the EMS to respond to external disruption, the clearest evidence of which has been provided by the way it has held firm in the face of the dollar's subsequent fluctuations.
Direkte behøver man blot at se på statistikkerne.
The second important feature has been the development of the ECU.
Indirekte, fordi muligheden for en afstemning med kvalificeret flertal hyppigt foranlediger regeringerne til at søge en løsning, der tilfredsstiller så mange som muligt, hvilket er i Kommissionens ånd, idet vi jo skal tilstræbe størst mulig konsensus mellem de tolv medlemsstater.
The Commission itself has issued a 500 million ECU medium-term loan, to serve as a reference on the ECU bond market, and — in a very important move — the United King dom has issued shortterm bonds denominated in ECUs, which is very welcome indeed since it has not been easy hitherto to work in ECUs, to transact deals in them.
Denne indflydelse indtrådte allerede forud for iværksættelsen af Den Fælles Akt. straks fra dens ind gåelse i 1986, hvor der under henholdsvis det neder landske og det britiske formandskab blev truffet over et hundrede afgørelser med kvalificeret flertal. Ret skal være ret.
Now that these one- to three-month Treasury bonds, which are gilt-edged securities, have been issued in the United Kingdom, I think we are going to have a real ECU market and that the banking and business communities will be able to operate on it more readily.
Det er med overlæg, at jeg bruger flertal.
The sixth and last objective: the environment.
Men jeg gentager, det, der samler os, er vigtigere, end det, der skiller os, og man skal se på den vej, der er tilbagelagt siden 1984.
This theme is coming into its own. The statement concern ing the incoming Commission will show you how much importance we attach to these matters.
Til trods for den udtrykte frygt har der været meget få undtagelser, og de, der er accepteret, har tit haft form af overgangsperioder, som skal muliggøre det for vis se lande at tilpasse sig det europæiske tempo. Det skete for eksempel i forbindelse med afgørelsen om liberalisering af kapitalbevægelser.
As regards the social dimension, we are working strictly within the framework of the Single Act and the guidelines laid down by the 12 governments at the Hanover European Council meeting.
Jeg vil træffe tre metodiske forsigtighedsforanstaltninger med fare for at skuffe de dristigste iblandt Dem, hvad angår vandringen henimod den europæiske union.
The European Council considers — and I quote — that 'the internal market must be so conceived as to benefit all citizens of the Community; to this end, it is necessary not only to improve the working conditions and living standards of employed workers but also to secure better protection of health and safety of work ers at the workplace'.
Men disse metodiske forsigtighedsforanstalninger er nødvendige for at begrænse den tid. jeg bruger, og for at hver debat kan få sit eget særpræg.
It stresses that 'the measures to be taken shall not reduce levels of protection already achieved in Member States'.
Ønsket om forenkling er gået i opfyldelse.
There is indeed no mention; we proposed it at the intergovernmental conference, but met with opposition from one State.
Komitologien er ikke længere en jungle med tre hundrede for skellige slags dyr, hvilket gør Deres opgave som po-
At all events, in connection with organization of the European audiovisual media area, I think it is
