Som vigtigste internationale handelspartner inden for import og eksport af en lang række produktioner har vi alle stor interesse i afslutningen af disse forhandlinger.
But we think that even in these circumstances the balance-sheet for the half year may serve to show how it has been possible in the brief space of four months to make an in-depth — I might almost say an exhaustive — technical analysis of the proposals of the Delors II package, so that it was possible at the Lisbon Summit to lay down specific guidelines.
Vi er ligeledes allesammen bevidste om betydningen heraf for opretholdelsen af det multilaterale handelssystem, for den internationale økonomiske vækst og i den forbindelse for udviklingslandenes rolle.
The political nature of this dossier as a whole was highlighted by its being dealt with in the General Affairs Council, since what is in question here is not a mere question of figures and statistics but above all of giving practical expression to the commit ment of all to provide the Community and the Union with the resources needed to realize the objectives laid down for integration.
Jeg skal ikke her kommentere substansen i den i Lissabon indgåede aftale, som formanden for Det Europæiske Råd allerede har behandlet i detaljer.
I do not intend to start commenting here on the substance of the agreement reached at Lisbon, since the President of the European Council has already had occasion to deal with that in detail.
Dog vil jeg gerne på grund af den høje grad af konsensus om den sag fremhæve enigheden blandt alle De Tolv om forhøjelsen af de finansielle midler til gennemførelse af den økonomiske og sociale samhørighed og udenrigspolitiske aktioner.
However, I should like to draw attention, because of the considerable consensus it reflects, to the agreement of all Twelve to strengthen the financial resources which will have to be allocated to economic and social cohesion and to external policy actions.
Dvs. at alle er bevidste om Fællesskabets store forpligtelser, og at man ikke kan unddrage sig dem.
We are all aware of the weight of the responsi bilities of the Community, which it is impossible to avoid.
Fællesskabet har givet væsentlige bidrag og indrømmelser på forskellige af forhandlingernes nøgleområder, herunder ikke mindst det bidrag til stabilisering af verdensmarkederne, der gives med landbrugsreformen.
Here the action taken with regard to the former Soviet Union is a prime example. It fell to us to coordinate the Community's participation in the Washington Confer ence in January on aid to those countries and to organize the follow-up in Lisbon.
Fru formand, mine damer og herrer, i det forgangne halvår havde Fællesskabet i Rio de Janeiro en af de mest oplagte lejligheder til at placere sig i en ledende position under drøftelserne om de store verdensomspændende miljø- og udviklingsspørgsmål. Resultaterne på FN's konference var måske ikke på højde med de mest ambitiøse forventninger, men de inde holder dog perspektivet for signifikante fremskridt i de kommende år.
In Central and Eastern Europe, meanwhile, reform measures continued with the Community's active support for restructuring tasks, the network of cooperation agree ments was completed and progress was made in strengthening relations by opening negotiations for the Europe agreements with Bulgaria and Romania.
Fru formand, mine damer og herrer, en af de vigtigste opgaver for et hvilket som helst formand skab er at forberede fremtiden.
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, in the past half year it was at Rio de Janeiro that the Community had one of the most significant opportunities to take a leading part in the debates on the great world questions of the environment and development.
I dette perspektiv var det vigtigste ansvar i den portugisiske formandsperiode at virkeliggøre det første skridt hen imod Unionen.
At the United Nations Rio Conference, the results were possibly not up to the level of the most ambitious expectations, but contain the germ of significant progress in the next few years.
Efter min mening vil samhørigheden i Fællesskabets holdning i løbet af den forberedende fase, under selve konferencen og med hensyn til at påtage sig forpligtelser i forbindelse med gennemførelsen af de etablerede mål bidrage til en reel forbedring af det miljø, vi efterlader de kommende generationer.
I think that Community cohesion with regard to the position it adopted throughout the preparatory stage, during the conference itself and to the commitments entered into concerning implementation of the objectives laid down will greatly help to improve the environmental conditions we bequeath to future generations.
Vi har derfor bestræbt os på at skabe betingelser for en harmonisk udvikling af integrationsprocessen i 90'erne med henbuk på de interne og eksterne udfordringer og på grundlag af de i Maastricht-Traktaten fastlagte principper.
The Portuguese Presidency also encouraged political dialogue with the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and arranged meetings in Lisbon at ministerial level; it thus organized two meetings of the troika — meetings of the heads of political departments and the foreign ministers with the members of the so-called 'Visegrad triangle', that is, Poland, Czecho-Slovakia and Hungary, which allowed a useful exchange of views on trends in Europe.
Van skelighederne i forbindelse med behandlingen af disse emner er velkendte, ligesom det ikke er nogen hemmelighed, at der i forskellige medlemsstater her sker politiske og økonomiske forhold, der betyder, at den foreslåede »timing« bliver vanskelig at over holde.
Appropriate efforts were made for the simultaneous recognition of the Commonwealth of Independent States, which was completed on 15 January when Tadjikistan and Kirghizia accepted the conditions for recognition laid down by the European Community.
Under alle omstændigheder fungerer Fælles skabet efter sin egen rytme, der ikke levner formand skabet en særlig stor margen.
The Republic of Georgia also obtained recognition by accepting these conditions on 23 March.
Fællesskabet undertegnede konventionerne om klimaforandringer og biologisk mangfoldighed og erklærede samtidig sin hensigt at bidrage til den praktiske gennemførelse heraf så hurtigt som muligt.
The Community has signed the conventions on climatic changes and on biodiversity, and has also said that it intends to take practical steps to implement them as soon as possible.
Desuden vil Fællesskabet og dets medlemsstater øge de finansielle bidrag til udviklingshjælp til udviklingslandene indtil en værdi af 3.000.000 ECU i de kommende fem år, herunder nye og supplerende ressourcer til særlige projekter inden for rammerne af Agenda 21 og erklæringen om bevarelse og for valtning af skovene — hvis bindende karakter vi i øvrigt altid har forsvaret.
On the other hand, the Community and its Member States will increase their financial contributions to development in the developing countries up to a value of some ECU 3 000 m during the next five years, including new and additional resources for specific pro jects within the scope of Agenda XXI and the declaration on forests — which, moreover, we firmly believe should be binding.
Det er i den forbin delse meget sigende, at målet om en langsigtet bæredygtig udvikling på verdensplan er blevet stadfæstet på højeste politiske plan, og det er med tilfredshed, at jeg nævner det portugisiske formand skabs og Fællesskabets bidrag til vedtagelsen af dette mål.
The alarming conflicts which broke out between Azerbaijan and Armenia in Nagorno-Karabakh and those in Moldova and Georgia called for repeated steps by the presidency both in the capitals of the states in question and in the framework of the CSCE, which I think is the most appropriate for resolving them.
Vi må nu håbe, at denne afgørende vending vil blive fulgt op i praksis, og vi opfordrer alle andre stater i verden til at engagere sig i samme retning.
In this context I organized a meeting of the Council with the Russian Foreign Minister, Andrei Kozyrev, on 10 March, which
Arbejdet hermed vil naturligvis fortsætte inden for en tidsramme, som fastsættes af Det Europæiske
I am convinced that, in spite of all criticisms, the Rio Conference will turn out to have been a fundamental turning point for the world and for the way in which mankind regards its common heritage.
Deus Pinheiro intenst mærker, hvad der sker et hvilket som helst sted på kloden.
DEUS PINHEIRO gave an opportunity to go further into the outlook for developments in the former Soviet Union.
I betragtning af Fællesskabets voksende rolle i inter national sammenhæng var det en selvskreven opgave for formandskabet at fremme og styrke de udenrigspolitiske forbindelser.
ied by good prospects of a deeper and more positive future relationship. I am especially pleased with the decisive step taken during the Portuguese presidency in unfreezing the renewed Mediterranean policy.
staters hovedstæder som inden for rammerne af CSCE, der efter min mening er det mest velegnede forum til at behandle disse problemer.
As we all know, the crisis in the former Yugoslavia was the most serious, and fortunately almost the only, case in which violence prevailed over political negotiation in developments in Europe.
I den forbin delse afholdtes der den 10. marts et møde mellem Rådet og den russiske udenrigsminister, Andrei Kozyrev, på hvilket der var mulighed for at uddybe perspektiverne for udviklingen i det tidligere Sovjetunionen. unionen.
I am convinced that this new integrated policy, involving important trade concessions and fresh financial instruments in support of the economic reforms and regional integration will help to build new foundations for relations between the two sides of the Mediterranean basin.
Krisen i det tidligere Jugoslavien var som bekendt det alvorligste problem — og heldigvis så godt som det eneste, hvor der i forbindelse med udviklingen i Europa blev gjort brug af magtanvendelse i stedet for politiske forhandlinger.
The basic political approach which I instilled into the European Community's reactions consisted in a dualtrack approach based at one and the same time on pursuing the peace conference chaired by Lord Carrington and on supporting the action of the United Nations Security Council allowing obervers with a 'peace-keeping' rôle to be stationed in the territory whilst maintaining the European Community's observer mission.
De grundlæggende politiske retningslinjer for Det Europæiske Fællesskabs strategi bestod i en »dualtrack approach«, baseret på en fortsættelse af Freds konferencen under Lord Carringtons ledelse og samtidig støtte til Sikkerhedsrådets foranstaltninger med udsendelse af et fredsbevarende FN-korps og sideløbende hermed videreførelse af Det Europæiske Fællesskabs observatørkorps' virksomhed.
On the other hand the Portuguese presidency has played an active part in the peace-making process in the Middle East both by having a representative of the troika at the bilateral talks in Washington and by making sure that the Community took part in all the working groups for the multilateral talks, which many did not think was possible.
På det sidstnævnte møde i maj lykkedes det sammen med donorlande, internationale organisationer og modtagerlande at skabe en kvalitativ omlægning af bistandsmålsætningerne, idet vægten lagdes på ydelsen af teknisk bistand på kort og mellemlang sigt med henblik på at skabe betingelser for en vellykket gennemførelse af økonomiske og politiske reformer.
In this connection I maintained contacts with all my opposite numbers in the countries taking part in the peace process and in particular we arranged for the troika of senior officials to visit all the capitals of the region.
Tendensen til at styrke EF-bistanden fortsatte, og de kontraktuelle forbindelser med de nye uafhængige stater blev bragt i orden.
Europe's essential interest in the peace and stability of the Middle East was therefore clearly demonstrated in all areas.
En afgørende faktor for international stabilitet var oprettelsen af Det Internationale Center for Videnskab og Teknologi i Moskva, der har til opgave at fremme projekter inden for det civile område, som skal opsuge de videnskabsfolk, ingeniører og teknikere, som førhen arbejdede med at udvikle det tidligere Sovjetunionens kernevåben med militære formål.
Fighting also broke out in Bosnia, however, and, in the framework of the constant efforts we were making to persuade the warring parties to negotiate in good faith, I visited Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina, as well as Belgrade and Zagreb on 23 April with Lord Carrington to try to bring an end to the fighting and respect for the agreements reached.
Efter at det var konstateret, at Slovenien og Kroatien opfyldte de betingelser, som Det Europæiske Fællesskab havde offentliggjort som forudsætning for anerkendelse af de nye republikker, kunne jeg den 15. januar meddele, at alle medlemsstaterne ville anerkende ovennævnte to republikker, hvormed det demonstreredes, at der var opnået enighed i De Tolv på dette kontroversielle område.
The developing countries' relations with the European Union will depend more and more upon acceptance of the principle of political democracy and human rights, as is shown by a series of statements culminating in the European Council in Lisbon.
På baggrund af de fastlagte betingelser anerkendtes ligeledes Bosnien-Hercegovinas uafhængighed den 7. april, og det portugisiske formandskab påtog sig den opgave at forestå forhandlingerne vedrørende de forfatningsmæssige garantier for lige rettigheder for alle elementer i den nye stat.
It is worth pointing out that there are no alternative politico-social models, that it is important to eliminate the profound disparities which still divide the peoples of the world and that the Community and its Member States play a leading rôle in this field.
I Mellem- og Østeuropa fortsatte reformprocesserne med aktiv støtte fra Fællesskabet til den igangværende omstrukturering, nettet af samarbejdsaftaler udbyggedes, og forbindelserne uddybedes yderligere med indledningen af forhandlinger med henblik på indgåelse af »europæiske aftaler« med Bulgarien og Rumænien.
The intervention of the United Nations Security Council in the Yugoslav crisis, as one of the essential components of the dualtrack approach which I advocated, was the subject of numerous measures and of close contacts with the Secretary General, Mr Boutros Ghali and with his personal representative for Yugoslavia, Mr Cyrus Vance.
I mellemtiden brød krigshandlingerne også ud i Bosnien, og i forlængelse af Fællesskabets konstante bestræbelser på at få konfliktens parter til at indlede alvorligt mente forhandlinger, besøgte jeg sammen med Lord Carrington den 23. april hovedstaden i Bosnien-Hercegovina, Sarajevo, samt Beograd og Zagreb, i et forsøg på at opnå indstilling af kampene og overholdelse af de indgåede aftaler.
One of the possible ways of furthering such a series of objectives is the development of regional integration, imparting to other regions of the world the positive experience provided by Community history in terms of seeking arrangements to mutual advantage and overcoming past differences. The Maghreb has been advancing, even though slowly, along this path, and meanwhile we are now seeing a promising initiative in the southern part of Latin America.
Det portugisiske formandskab tilskyndede ligedes til politisk dialog med landene i Mellem- og Østeuropa og arrangerede møder på ministerplan i Lissabon, herunder to trojkamøder — bestående af politiske direktører og udenrigsministre, der mødtes med repræsentanter for den såkaldte Visegrad-gruppe, dvs. Polen, Tjekkoslovakiet og Ungarn, møder, der åbnede mulighed for nyttige udvekslinger af synspunkter vedrørende udviklingen i Europa.
I should also like to stress that a meeting of the Council with the Secretary of State, Mr Baker, on 10 March, put the seal on coordinating our position with that of the United States and it was clearly stated that the initiative in the international approach to the Yugoslav problem lay with the European Community.
Den samordnede anerkendelse af republikkerne i Samfundet af Uafhængige Stater fremmedes behørigt og afsluttedes den 15. januar, da Tadsjikistan og Kirgisien accepterede Det Europæiske Fællesskabs betingelser for anerkendelse.
We wished to demonstrate publicly our interest in the success of this initiative — the so-called Mercosul — and invited its representatives to meet the Community For eign Ministers during the informal meeting in Guimarães, prompting the Commission to prepare proposals to intensify and institutionalize relations with that regional organization.
Også Republikken Georgien opnåede anerkendelse på grundlag af dens accept af Fællesskabets betingelser den 23. marts.
I should like to call attention too to the mutual links being forged between Europe and South America; in the past six months new framework cooperation agreements have been signed with the countries of that region, including the largest of them, Brazil, but also including Paraguay and in practice the countries of the Andean Pact as well.
Sikkerhedsrådets intervention i den jugoslaviske krise var som en af de grundlæggende komponenter i den omtalte »dualtrack approach« genstand for talrige drøftelser og tætte kontakter med generalsekretær Butros Ghali og hans personlige repræsentant for Jugoslavien, Cyrus Vance.
Finally, in view of the dominant part played in this conflict by the Serbian forces, I advised applying a tough list of economic and political sanctions against Serbia and Montenegro.
Vedtagelsen af resolutionen om udsendelse af en fredsbevarende FN-styrke udgjorde en vigtig international støtte til Det Europæiske Fællesskabs aktion og en stadfæstelse af den af Fællesskabet foreslåede »dualtrack approach«.
A fortnight later that approach was actually embodied in Security Council resolution No 757, showing once more how valuable the approaches made by the Community and its Member States are in the cruel and damaging conflict still ravaging that part of the former Yugoslavia.
Men lykkeligvis er der gode udsigter til en dybere og mere positiv forbindelse i fremtiden.
Relations with Japan were the subject of in-depth debate in the Council, yielding important guidelines for the future.
Ligeledes som en understregning af de gensidige bånd mellem Europa og Sydamerika blev der i det foregående semester undertegnet nye samarbejdsrammeaftaler med landene i dette område, herunder det største, Brasilien, samt Paraguay og Andespagtlandene.
the fact that, at the Lisbon Summit, the Twelve reaffirmed that they would be consolidating the decisions taken at Maastricht, even though they did postpone actual decisions to the Edinburgh Summit and the uncertainties and hesitations have been such as to cast a shadow over the future of the Community.
Forbindelserne med Maghreblandene vil i øvrigt være baseret på en ny partnerskabsånd, som de indledende kontakter med Marokko kan komme til at udgøre forløberen for.
The new links established in the Oporto Agreement between the Community and EFTA also look towards the future.
Forbindelserne med Japan var genstand for drøftelser i Rådet, som resulterede i fastlæggelse af nogle yderst vigtige retningslinjer for fremtiden.
The European Economic Area, which is increasingly viewed as an essential stage in bringing these countries closer to the European Union, will allow them to become progressively more integrated in the Com munity system.
Ligeledes rettet mod fremtiden er de nye bånd, som Porto-aftalen etablerede mellem Fællesskabet og EFTA.
There has been a failure to define the new financial perspectives which are to provide the actual bases for Community action during this stage of European con struction and, in particular, for progress in the policy of cohesion.
Det Europæiske Økonomiske Samarbejdsområde, der mere og mere betragtes som en afgørende etape i disse landes tilnærmelse til Den Europæiske Union, vil bane vej for EFTA-landenes gradvise integrering i Fællesskabet.
The objective of cohesion — both economic and social — is one of the essential pillars of the Union and a concrete expression of Community solidarity.
Europas store interesse i fred og stabilitet i Mellemøsten var således klart markeret på alle felter.
The Commission must stand firm on this and not give way as it would seem to have done in Lisbon.
Udviklingslandenes forbindelser med Den Euro pæiske Union vil i stadig højere grad blive kendetegnet ved kravet om overholdelse af princippet om politisk demokrati og af menneskerettighederne, som det klart er tilkendegivet i en række erklæringer, senest på Det Europæiske Råds møde i Lissabon.
The European Council did, admittedly, decide to abide by its undertaking to establish the Cohesion funds at the beginning of 1993, but adequate resources will have to be provided for within a timescale which will enable the less developed countries to make progress in their efforts to achieve convergence.
Men Porto-aftalen vil ligeledes komme til at udgøre grundlaget for iværksættelsen af processen vedrø rende udvidelsen af Det Europæiske Fællesskab.
But that agreement is not an end in itself, but is in the last resort also the basis for launching the process of enlarge ment of the European Community.
Portugal, der traditionelt er åbent over for omverdenen, og som er et af de lande, der var med til at grundlægge EFTA, konstaterer med stolthed, at der under den portugisiske formandsperiode blev givet et bidrag til en afgørende vending i Fællesskabets forbindelser med disse lande, først og fremmest i
Portugal being a country traditionally open to the world and a founder member of EFTA, I am proud to record how, during our mandate, a contribution was made to bringing about a decisive change in the Community's relations with that group of countries, first in the direction of a significant strengthening of the links with the Community, to be followed shortly by their full integration as Member States of the Union.
form af en signifikant intensivering af forbindelserne med Fællesskabet, som i løbet af kort tid vil blive efterfulgt af fuld integrering som medlemsstater i Unionen.
This process will depend on agreement being reached on own resources and related questions during this year and on ratification in the same period of the Treaty of Maastricht, without any other institutional conditions apart from those arising under the system embodied in the Treaty of Union.
De nye finansielle overslag, som skal være det egentlige grundlag for Fællesskabet i denne etape af den europæiske opbygning, og specielt for udvikling af samhørighedspolitikken, er ikke blevet præcist udarbejdet.
There are those who claim to be approaching the principle of subsidiarity with a view to cohesion in an obvious attempt to undermine the supranational and federal aspects of the Treaty on European Union.
Denne proces vil afhænge af opnåelsen af en aftale om de egne indtægter og hermed forbundne spørgsmål i løbet af indeværende år og af ratificeringen af Maastricht-Traktaten i samme periode uden andre institutionelle betingelser end de, der følger af den i Unions-Traktaten stadfæstede ordning.
If subsidiarity is given a narrow and biassed interpretation, we risk taking a step backwards towards renationalization of Community policies, particularly in the areas of social policy, the environment and regional policy.
Fru formand, mine damer og herrer, på baggrund af den koncise erklæring i forbindelse med de under den portugisiske formandsperiode indtrufne begivenheder er det efter min opfattelse legitimt at regne med, at der stadig foreligger konkrete perspektiver for Fællesskabets udvikling i retning af en mere dybtgående og bred Europæisk Union.
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, looking at this brief statement of developments during the Portuguese presidency, I think it is permissible to conclude that specific prospects have been opened up for the Community to move towards a deeper and wider European Union.
