Pierros (PPE). — (GR) Jeg vil gerne takke formanden for hans svar. Da jeg stillede spørgsmålet, tænkte jeg hovedsagelig på en ændring af artikel 2, afsnit 7 i De Forenede Nationers statut.
The Community has repeatedly stressed the need to set up a pan-European defence structure based on the Western European Union and the implementation of a common security policy in this context.
Jeg vil derfor gerne spørge: Tror De, at Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde bør tage et initiativ i denne retning og få medlemsstaterne med sig, så vi kan opnå det ønskede resultat? tat?
Does European Political Cooperation consider that NATO's decision is consistent with the Community's stated objectives with regard to a common security policy ?
Desuden vil jeg gerne minde om, at formandskabet selv var gået ud fra, at de interinstitutionelle møder ville gøre det muligt for Europa-Parlamentet at holde sig underrettet om fremskridtene, men også, indrømmer jeg, om de vanskeligheder der ligger i det igangværende foretagende, der — hvad man aldrig noksom kan understrege — er et foretagende, der kan føre til, at en ny virkelighed opstår. De ærede medlemmer har i dag hørt formanden for Rådet selv tale om de to igangværende regeringskonferencer.
I would furthermore remind you that the presidency had assumed that the interinstitutional meetings gave the European Parliament the opportunity to receive a report on the progress but also on the difficulties involved in such an exercise which, I cannot emphasize too strongly, is likely to constitute a new deal.
Jeg mener derfor, at jeg på dette allerede frem skredne tidspunkt i aften må appellere til de ærede medlemmers gode vilje og, idet jeg er klar over den store interesse, vi alle nærer for spørgsmålet, foreslå, at vi ikke gentager hele historien her i aften.
So at this late hour of the evening I think I can count on your good will and while appreciating the importance to all of us of this subject I would suggest that we do not now repeat the exercise.
Formandskabet kan faktisk ikke præjudicere — det beder jeg hr. Romeos undskylde — resultaterne af regeringskonferencen på dette område.
The Presidency, and I apologize to Mr Romeos, may not preempt the results of the intergovernmental conference on this subject.
Romeos (S). — (GR) Jeg vil gerne supplere dette særdeles interessante spørgsmål med mit eget spørgsmål.
WOHLFART, President-in-Office of European Political Cooperation. — (FR) First of all I would remind you that the decisions to which the honourable Member refers do not come under European Political Cooperation but another body.
Det er et vanskeligt spørgsmål.
IN THE CHAIR: SIR FRED CATHERWOOD
Spørgsmål nr. 27 af Pierros (H-
PRESIDENT. — Question No 27 by Mr Pierrôs (H-0503/91)
De Vries (LDR). — (NL) Formanden talte i sit svar om nødvendige reformer.
ROMEOS (S). — (GR) Mr President-in-Office, I am sorry but I was hoping for a better answer than that.
Hvilke reformer er efter hans mening nødvendige?
Of course, these decisions were not taken by us but by other institutions.
Wohlfart. — (FR) Først vil jeg gerne føre tråden videre fra det, jeg sagde i mit første svar.
Since you are in charge of laying down this framework, I think you should answer me: do these decisions taken by NATO pose problems regarding the framework you have been called on to lay down ?
Afslutningen af den kolde krig og de seneste begivenheder i Golfen har påvist den særdeles vigtige rolle, som FN frem over må spille.
The end of the cold war and the recent events in the Gulf have testified to the increasingly important role which the UN is required to play.
Der er allerede udviklet problemstillinger og tanker med hensyn til eventuelle ændringer af FN-pagten med henblik på medlemsstaternes afståelse af flere og mere betydningsfulde beføjelser.
There is already a great deal of speculation about possibly amending the UN Charter in a way which would entail the Member States conferring greater powers on the UN.
I denne forbindelse står det klart, at EF har mulighed for og er forpligtet til at intervenere samlet og effektivt med dets realistiske og fredsfremmende bidrag.
WOHLFART. — (FR) During the past six months that I have been in this position I have made certain Members happy by my replies but others unhappy.
Hvilke forestillinger gør EPS sig på dette område, og har det allerede indledt udarbejdelsen af konkrete forslag til ændring af pagten?
In this context, it is clear that the European Community can and must make its own pragmatic and peaceful contribution by speaking with one voice and taking effective measures.
Jeg må, hr. formand, anmode om hele Deres over bærenhed.
First of all, Mr Romeos, numerous statements have been made in this House on precisely this subject.
Jeg vil også her påberåbe mig, at arbejdet er fortroligt.
There have been various oral questions with debate on
Wohlfart, formand for Udenrigsministrene. — (FR) På det spørgsmål, hr. Pierros har stillet mig om fællesskabsinitiativerne til støtte for en reform af FN, vil jeg gerne give følgende svar: Formandskabet mener, at eventuelle forslag eller initiativer til en reform af FN i første række skal behandles af medlemsstaterne inden for deres kompetences ram mer.
Can the Ministers meeting in EPC state their views on this matter and indicate whether they have already begun to formulate specific proposals for amending the UN Charter?
Man har lige talt om FN's program vedrørende narkotika.
See Annex 'Question Time'.
Det er knap en halv time siden.
Debates of the European Parliament
De Tolv bør — ideelt, indrømmer jeg — bestræbe sig for at give udtryk for og vedtage fælles hold ninger om FN's fremtidige rolle og om de til dette formål nødvendige reformer.
No 3-406/189 again today. The Twelve, in political cooperation, have also been discussing the structure of the general assembly, the aim being to assess a possible reform of the UN by next September.
Men henblik herpå vil Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde på et passende tidspunkt og parallelt med de nationale positioner
WOHLFART, President-in-Office of European Political Cooperation. — (FR) I would give the following answer to the question put by Mr Pierrôs on Com munity initiatives on a reform of the UN : the presidency believes that any proposals or initiatives to reform the UN must first of all be examined by the Member States themselves under their own authority and powers.
Desuden har De Tolv i de seneste uger bidraget til omdefineringen af Det Økonomiske og Sociale Råds
I am therefore certain that by the next Question Time the presidency-in-office will be able to provide more detailed replies.
Man er gået i gang med overvejelser inden for De Tolv under Det Politiske Samarbejde om Generalforsamlingens struktur.
Ideally, I admit, the Twelve should try to adopt common positions on the future role of the UN and the reforms necessary to meet that aim.
Hvad fællesskabsinitiativerne angår, vil jeg gerne sige, at de endnu ikke har været drøftet. Jeg tror, det vil være opportunt at gøre det i de kommende måneder.
To this end European political cooperation will in due course and parallel to national positions define coordinated positions within the relevant working parties.
Om: Påstande om uregelmæssigheder ved valget i Sri Lanka
Subject: Sri Lanka malpractice
Der har været beretninger i de europæiske aviser om på ståede uregelmæssigheder i forbindelse med lokalvalgene for nylig i Sri Lanka, og EPS bedes oplyse, hvad det agter at foretage for at undersøge, om disse påstande er korrekte.
Following reports in European newspapers of allegations of election malpractice in the recent local elections in Sri Lanka, what steps does EPC intend to take to ascertain the truth of these allegations ?
Under alle omstændigheder vil vi forlange rapport fra vore ambassader.
When I put my question I basically had in mind the amendment to Article 2, para.
Det er helt klart, hvad angår anden del af tillægsspørgsmålet om konsekvenserne for Fællesskabets økonomiske hjælp til Sri Lanka, at man må afvente rapporten og konklusionerne fra denne arbejdsgruppe, inden man eventuelt drager de nødvendige konklusioner, hvis dette bliver tilfældet.
This amendment would concern the enshrinement of what I personally call the duty of humane intervention, directly linked with recent events in Iraq. You are a doctor and I think you can grasp what I am getting at.
Formanden. — Da følgende spørgsmål vedrører samme emne, vil vi under ét behandle spørgsmål nr. 29 af Lomas (H-0492/91):
I repeat my question: do you think that EPC should take the initiative in this and draw the Member States together so that we can succeed in the desired result ?
Wohlfart, formand for Udenrigsministrene. — (FR) Først vil jeg henlede det ærede medlems opmærksomhed på, at jeg henholder mig til svaret på spørgsmål nr. 1/91 af hr. Lomas.
WOHLFART, President-in-Office of European Political Cooperation. — (FR) First of all I would like to draw the honourable Member's attention to the fact that I refer to the reply given to Question No 1/91 from Mr Lomas.
I virkeligheden har situationen i Sri Lanka givet anledning til forskellige erklæringer og forestillinger fra Fællesskabet og dets medlemsstater over for dette lands demokratisk valgte myndigheder, især vedrørende menneskerettighederne.
The situation in Sri Lanka was at the origin of various statements and steps taken by the Com munity and its Member States vis-à-vis the democratically elected authorities of that country, particulary on human rights.
De er altså ikke uden kendskab til, hvilken betydning Fællesskabet og dets medlemsstater tillægger styrkelsen af de demokratiske institutioner i landet, hvoriblandt gennemførelsen af frie valg udgør et fundamentalt element.
These authorities therefore know the importance the Community and its Member States attach to strengthening the democratic institutions in Sri Lanka in which free elections constitute a fundamental element.
EF støttede indsatsen i Golfen efter Iraks invasion af Kuwait.
ROMEOS (S). — (GR) I should like to ask a question on this highly interesting issue.
Vil EF nu være rede til at gribe ind over for Tyrkiets invasion af Cypern ved at vedtage sanktioner over for landet, indtil det trækker sig tilbage fra Cypern?
There is a desire or at least an idea afoot within and even outside the Community for the EEC to make a major institutional change so that it might take a joint stand or at least be jointly represented before the UN.
og spørgsmål nr. 30 af Newens (H-0511/91):
DE VRIES (LDR). — (NL) In his reply the minister talked about necessary reforms.
De påstande, det ærede medlem taler om, har endnu ikke været genstand for en drøftelse i de kompetente instanser, nemlig Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde.
The allegations to which the honourable Member refers have not yet been discussed in the EPC.
Formandskabet vil imidlertid gerne på dette stadium tilføje, at en international observatørdelegation, sammensat af repræsentanter for lande med en velfunderet demokratisk tradition, meget nøje har fulgt kommunalvalgene i Sri Lanka, og at den er nået til den konklusion, at de generelt har fundet sted på en fri og retfærdig måde.
However, the presidency would add at this stage that an international delegation of observers, made up of representatives of countries with well established democratic traditions, closely followed the local elections in Sri Lanka and concluded that in general terms the elections were free and fair.
Kan der nu — på baggrund af EF's støtte til krigen mod Irak som følge af landets invasion af Kuwait — lægges pres på Tyrkiet som følge af dets invasion af Cypern ved at op hæve handelsprotokollen, indtil de tyrkiske tropper er trukket bort?
As recently as today the 'United Nations' working party of the EPC has been meeting in Brussels to study a certain number of subjects including possible and also necessary reforms of the UN.
Wohlfart, formand for Udenrigsministrene. — (FR) Fællesskabet og dets medlemsstaters holdning til Cypernspørgsmålet er blevet gentaget ved mangfoldige lejligheder, sidste gang på Det Europæiske Råds møde i Dublin i juni 1990.
ODDY (S). — Since tabling my question the British High Commissioner in Sri Lanka has been declared persona non grata for allegedly interfering in the local election process.
Fællesskabet og dets medlemsstater mener, at løsningen af dette problem skal være baseret på principperne om enhed, uafhængighed, suverænitet og territorial
As this is a serious diplomatic incident, I would like to know what coordinated action the twelve foreign ministers intend to take to show disapproval of this expulsion.
Oddy (S). — (EN) Siden jeg indsendte mit spørgsmål, er den britiske højkommissær i Sri Lanka blevet erklæret persona non grata for påstået ind blanding i den lokale valgproces.
I would, however, add that the Twelve have already been actively involved in drafting certain reforms of the UN. For example they played an active role in merging the three UN bodies responsible for combating drug abuse.
Da dette er en alvorlig diplomatisk episode, vil jeg gerne vide, hvilken samordnet aktion de tolv udenrigsministre agter at foretage for at vise mishag med denne udvisning.
In the course of the last few weeks the Twelve have also helped in redefining the structures and meetings of Ecosoc. I presume the working party also discussed that
Wohlfart integritet for Cypern, alt i overensstemmelse med de relevante resolutioner fra De Forenede Nationer.
WOHLFART. — (FR) Until this evening I had understood that all information on the process of democratization of interest to the EPC was factual and that any Member State could raise any point about that process.
tyrkiske besættelsestropper og en retfærdig løsning på det cypriotiske problem med en international konference i EF-regi?
NEWENS (S). — In view of the fact that Turkish forces have now been in Cyprus for some sixteen years and their presence is a serious impediment to a settlement vital to the interests of both the Greek and the Turkish communities in the island, ought not some pressure be brought to bear on the Turkish Government to withdraw ?
Det er et spørgsmål, som jeg stillede den 2. maj 1991, og som hr. Barón Crespo afviste som uantageligt.
Does not the question of trade provide a peaceful means of applying such pressure ?
Det samme spørgsmål stiller jeg så nu.
After supporting such a tough line to get Iraqi forces out of Kuwait, are we not in danger of appearing to have double standards if we do absolutely nothing about the continued presence of Turkish forces in northern Cyprus ?
De støtter De Forenede Nationers generalsekretærs mæglingsmission.
In view of the seriousness of the fact mentioned by the honourable Member, there is no doubt in my mind that the problem he raised must be discussed on that occasion.
Den beskrivelse af problemerne, som findes i denne rapport, kan være af stor betydning for fortsættelsen af den diplomatiske indsats, som Fællesskabet og dets medlemsstater er indstiller på at støtte, sådan som de allerede tidligere har gjort det.
On the second part of the supplementary question on the effects of Community economic aid to Sri Lanka we must obviously await the report and the conclusions of this working party to draw any necessary consequences.
Pierros (PPE). — (GR) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne stille et meget konkret spørgsmål: For et stykke tid siden besøgte den græske premierminister Cypern.
MANIAS (RDE). — (GR) As the Minister said, the gist of the policy was set out at Dublin.
Og der fremkom et forslag om, at der, efter aftale mellem alle de politiske kræfter i Cypern, afholdes en regeringskonference med deltagelse af de permanente medlemmer af Sikkerhedsrådet med henblik på at finde en løsning på det cypriotiske spørgsmål.
The UN has its own policy and has passed resolutions demanding the withdrawal of Turkish troops so that refugees may return to their homes.
Er Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde indstillet på at støtte et sådant initiativ?
PRESIDENT. — As they deal with the same subject the following questions will be taken together:
Newens (S). — (EN) Burde man ikke i betragtning af, at tyrkiske tropper nu har været på Cypern i cirka seksten år, og at deres tilstedeværelse er en alvorlig hindring for en ordning, der er afgørende for interesserne hos både det græske og det tyrkiske samfund på øen, lægge et vist pres på den tyrkiske regering for at få den til at trække sig tilbage?
On the other hand the EEC has made overtures for closer relations with Turkey. There are rumours from many sources that the American government's policy, based on the belief that Europe is in disarray, is aimed at exerting diplomatic pressure throughout the EEC and elsewhere, to ensure that such a policy shift does take place.
Er handelsspørgsmålet ikke et fredeligt middel til at udøve et sådant pres?
The European Community supported action in the Gulf, following the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq.
Løber vi efter at have støttet en hård kurs for at få irakiske tropper ud af Kuwait ikke risiko for tilsyneladende at have dobbeltmoral, hvis vi absolut ingenting gør ved de tyrkiske troppers fortsatte tilstedeværelse i det nordlige Cypern?
Will it now take action on the invasion of Cyprus by Turkey, by introducing sanctions against Turkey until such time as Turkey withdraws from Cyprus ?
Pagoropoulos (S). — (GR) Jeg vil gerne spørge formanden, om De Europæiske Fællesskaber har mulighed for og vilje til at tage initiativer, eller om vi blot, som De sagde, hr. formand, støtter Pérez de Cuellar i hans løsningsforslag, dvs. om vi blot følger i hælene på andre og ikke har noget som helst selvstændigt standpunkt.
DESSYLAS (CG). — (GR) Mr President, my question, No 31, is relevant here.
Nianias (RDE). — (GR) Som ministeren sagde, blev der lagt en politisk linje i Dublin.
Question No 30 by Mr Newens (H-0511/91)
Wohlfart. — (FR) Jeg skal forsøge at give et fælles svar på alle disse tillægsspørgsmål, idet jeg klart vil tilkendegive, at Det Europæiske Fællesskabs og dets medlemsstaters holdning til Cypernspørgsmålet forekommer mig at være ganske klart, eftersom den er baseret på de relevant resolutioner fra De Fore nede Nationer.
Following the action of the European Community in supporting the war against Iraq in the light of its invasion of Kuwait, can action now be taken to bring pressure to bear on Turkey in the light of its invasion of Cyprus, by suspending the trade protocol until Turkish forces are withdrawn ?
Jeg tror, det vil være på sin plads igen en gang at minde om de divergerende opfattelser mellem Fællesskabet og Tyrkiet om Cypern, synspunkter der allerede har fremkaldt ikke ringe ballade, især i Luxembourg for nogle år siden da som bekendt et møde i Det Blandede Parlamentariske Udvalg EØF/Tyrkiet ikke kunne finde sted, fordi der blev talt om menneskerettighederne og om beskyttelsen af mindretallene i forbindelse med Cypern.
Mr President, the USA, Turkey and Denktash's illegal state are openly working out a bilateral solution within the framework of Mr Bush's 'new order', after the unacceptable and much publicized meeting between Bush and Denktash. What is EPC's position on the immediate withdrawal of Turkish occupation forces and a legal settlement to the Cyprus issue through a UN conference ?
Og endelig bekræftes det fra alle sider, at den amerikanske politik, der mener, at Europa er i en usammenhængende tilstand, pres ser på overalt, via alle sine ambassader, både over for Fællesskabet og over for de øvrige stater, for at løsningen på dette problem kan fortsætte på en anden måde.
WOHLFART, President-in-Office of European Political Cooperation. — (FR) The position of the Community and its Member States on Cyprus has been repeated on many occasions, the most recent being the European Council in Dublin in June 1990.
Jeg vil derfor spørge ministeren, om han kan sige noget om, hvorvidt der sker fremskridt for det første med hensyn til det interne styre i Tyrkiet og for det andet, om Fællesskabet ønsker at løse spørgsmålet med sit eget initiativ.
The Community and the Member States believe that the solution to this problem must be based on the principles of unity, independence, sovereignty and the territorial integrity of Cyprus, in line with the relevant resolutions of the United Nations.
Dessylas (CG). — (GR) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne inddrage mit eget spørgsmål — det følgende, nr. 31, som vedrører det samme emne — i forhandlingen.
PIERRÔS (PPE). — (GR) Mr President-in-Office, I wish to put a very specific question: the Greek Prime Minister visited Cyprus a few days ago.
Jeg vil gerne stille et tillægsspørgsmål.
Does the EPC give its backing?
Hr. formand, i betragtning af, at USA, Tyrkiet og Denktash's pseudostat i korridorerne aftaler en delingsløsning inden for rammerne af Bush's »nye verdensorden«, især efter det uhørte og uacceptable møde mellem Baker og Denktash, hvorledes stiller Det Politiske Samarbejde sig så til spørgsmålet vedrørende en øjeblikkelig tilbagetrækning af de
They support the mission of good offices of the Secretary General of the United Nations who has presented a new interim report on the contacts he had with all the parties involved, particularly through his special envoy. The identification of problems in this report could be very significant for the continued diplomatic action which the Community and its Member States are prepared to support, as they have already done in the past.
Man misbilligede også under mit besøg en beslutning vedtaget af det luxembourgske parlament vedrørende de kurdiske mindre tals rettigheder i Tyrkiet.
Do we have one rule for Kuwait and another for Cyprus ?
Fællesskabets holdning, nemlig en ajourføring af Dublin-erklæringen. For sit vedkommende foreslog hr. Poos, formand for Rådet, at man kunne tænke sig indkaldelse af en konference, under De Forenede Nationers generalsekretærs auspicier af de to supermagter, Det Europæiske Fællesskab og de to cypriotiske samfund.
I think it worthwhile to remind you of the divergent views of the Community and Turkey on the question of Cyprus, divergent views which caused quite a fuss some years ago when, as you will remember, Mr President, a meeting of the EEC-Turkey Joint Parliamentary Committee was cancelled because of the mention of human rights and the protection of minorities in the context of Cyprus.
Hr. Iacouvou gentog nødvendigheden af, at de fem permanente repræsentanter i Sikkerhedsrådet var til stede på en sådan konference.
Mr Iacouvou considers this application for membership runs counter to the relevant resolutions which I have just quoted, namely Resolution 649, and suspects Turkey of deliberately stalling until President Bush arrives in Ankara in July.
En sådan tilstedeværelse ville efter hans mening være opportun, ikke blot af praktiske grunde, men også af politiske grunde. EF bør aktivt deltage.
The application for member ship of the Islamic Conference raises the equally acute legal problem of recognition of the RATCN on the international scene.
Republikken Cypern ønsker også fremskridt med hensyn til landets ansøgning om tiltrædelse.
That is why Mr Vassiliou and Mr Mitsotakis have suggested a nine-nation meeting, in other words Greece, Turkey, the two Cypriot communities and the five permanent members of the Security Council.
Hr. Poos vil naturligvis forelægge dette spørgsmål for sine kolleger.
According to Mr Iacouvou, the Turks will only propose 'old wine in new bottles' in the future.
Når det er sagt, tror jeg ikke, de ærede medlemmer er udvidende om, at Fællesskabet udtrykkeligt har gjort den overbevisning gældende, at Cypern spørgsmålet berører relationerne mellem EF og Tyrkiet.
I would also mention in this House that six weeks ago when in my capacity as President-in-Office of Council I went to Turkey and Iran to investigate the problem of the Kurdish refugees, I was strongly criticized by the Turkish government not only because of our action in favour of a minority which is not recognized as such by Turkey but also because of the speech I delivered as President-in-Office of the Council to the EEC-Turkey Joint Parliamentary Committee and which touched on the subject of Cyprus.
Jeg veg ikke tilbage fra at sige det til den tyrkiske regering.
They also took exception during my visit to a resolution adopted by the Luxembourg parliament on the rights of the Kurdish minorities in Turkey.
