Ifølge formanden for EMI, hr. Lamfalussy, ville -jeg citerer - en udskydelse af Den Monetære Union på ubestemt tid være et politisk chok, som ville bringe gennemførelsen af andre politiske målsætninger, som er af væsentlig betydning for Den Europæiske Union, i fare; det er i sidste ende selve Unionens troværdighed, der står på spil.
Employment services must be strengthened in order to ensure that they genuinely perform a function of informing, channelling and adapting the workforce, accor ding to the needs of the labour market.
Todini (UPE). - (IT) Hr. formand, hr. ministre, i det italienske aktivitetsprogram bør en af de prioriterede mål sætninger helt afgjort være en nedbringelse af arbejd sløsheden, som berører over 15 mio europæere, og som også rammer de lande, der forekommer at være de mest stabile på det økonomiske område.
But having mentioned the good things, it has also to be said that if this programme is to be put into effect, the focus of political activity will have to be very clear. The Italian situation is what it is, and I hope that that focus, sustained by the work that has been done, including by our diplomats, will be able to be developed, particularly through the Intergovernmental Conference.
Jeg er ked af, at Italien ikke føler sig i stand til at være blandt de første, der kan deltage i ØMU'en. Italiens holdning er imidlertid bedre end mit eget land - Storbritanniens - hvor de konservative stadig tror, at Den Engelske Kanal er større end Atlanten.
Finally, guidelines for specific measures aimed at the reduction of the non-wage costs of labour as a job-creating factor should be laid down as part of the multiannual programmes.
Men jeg ved, at Italien har evnen og de politiske personligheder, der skal til for at tage det altafgørende skridt hen imod Europa.
And jobs can only be secured on the basis of the competitiveness of undertakings, sound and balanced public spending and the creation of wealth.
Jeg kan derfor kun opfordre til, at man yder en forstærket indsats.
You cannot share out what does not exist.
Formanden at vi får lavere renter. Det fremmer en langsigtet forøgelse af beskæftigelsen.
Elliott (PSE). - Mr President, we have been reminded today that the Intergovernmental Conference will commence in March under the Italian presidency.
Formanden. ­ Jeg takker hr. Watson for hans indlæg og føler anledning til at rose ham for en ypperlig sproglig præstation.
Parliament will be pronouncing on this directive in March and I hope the Italian President can reassure me that he will be looking at this directive before June.
Svensson (GUE/NGL). ­ (SV) Hr. formand, et formands­skift vækker jo håb om nye tanker.
Secondly, despite the best efforts of government, small businesses manage to survive and they thus provide more jobs.
Fra et højt respekteret kulturland som Italien må man i stedet kunne forvente en frisk intellektuel synsmåde, der er kritisk over for utids­svarende valutaprojekter og orienteret mod en omfattende reform af Unionens udemokratiske struktur.
To my mind that means you will be taking steps to make sure that an increasingly large employer like the SME, the small business, is also a part of that dialogue.
Denne kamp må føres på to plan: dels gennem arbejdsmarkedspolitikken, dels gennem den økonomiske politik.
First of all I wish to refer to the question of greater openness in the proceedings of the meetings of Council.
For arbejdsmarkedspolitikkens vedkommende er det vigtigt, at man i højere grad anvender aktive foranstalt­ninger i stedet for blot at udbetale penge til folk for ingenting at foretage sig.
We have had a number of half-hearted promises from presidencies over recent years that they would do more to open things up.
Det er vigtigt af flere grunde.
It has never happened - or only to a very trivial degree.
Det er vigtigt af sociale grunde; mennesker har godt af at foretage sig noget fornuftigt.
I hope we can expect a greater willingness to open up the proceedings of Council from the Italian presidency.
Men det er også godt for væksten og beskæftigelsen i et længere perspektiv.
At the last British, presidency I persisted in asking this question and eventually I was told that it was not so much that the Council operated secretly, as that it operated in privacy.
De, der uddanner sig, vil nemlig stå stærkere i fremtiden, på det fremtidige arbejdsmarked, og kunne bidrage til en vækst i Europa.
I fully respect the right of individuals to privacy, but I have never respected the right of governments to privacy, and I hope that the Italian presidency will accept that decisionmaking at the European Community level should be as open to public awareness and to parliamentary scrutiny as we would expect individual decisionmaking to be in our own Member States.
Endelig vil jeg gerne udtale min tvivl om, at det gavner det europæiske samarbejde, at man som fru Marinucci bete­gner visse lande som antieuropæiske.
In the Netherlands government-imposed red tape costs small businesses 4 000 ECU per employee, whilst the cost to large businesses is only 200 ECU.
Den svenske regering har forud for regeringskonferen­cen fremsat forslag om, at der i traktaten indføjes et særligt kapitel om beskæftigelsespolitikken.
Another example: the energy required to take part in European programmes is out of all proportion, in terms of both red tape and of financial cost.
Der­for bør vi også oprette en beskæftigelsesunion ved siden af den monetære union.
The European Court of Auditors criticized that too.
Riess­Passer (NI). ­ (DE) Hr. formand, spørgsmålet om, hvordan man sikrer borgerne den bedst mulige beskyttelse, er Europas centrale grundspørgsmål.
I hope that the presidency will pay regard to the concern there is in this Parliament over the way in which Parliament's limited role in relation to third pillar issues under Maastricht has not been properly respected.
Netop på dette områ­de er der imidlertid et særlig krast misforhold mellem omfanget af udfordringerne og de hidtidige reaktioner eller problemløsninger. Også Refleksionsgruppen kom til den konklusion, at der hverken findes et klart mål eller en tidsplan, for slet ikke at tale om de nødvendige foranstalt­ninger.
Just before Christmas, Council again operated in this area by way of a recommendation which, if Member State governments and parliaments adopt it, becomes law but which bypasses this Parliament to a large extent.
Højst på prioriteringsli­sten står kampen mod arbejdsløsheden.
Of course we are all in favour of healthy competition.
Løser vi ikke det problem, vil de europæiske borgere vende os ryggen.
But small businesses cannot compete in the market unless they have appropriate structures.
Chanterie (PPE). ­ (NL) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne dvæle et øjeblik ved nødvendigheden af at se den nuværende økonomiske situation lige i øjnene.
If these are made impossible businesses will cooperate in other ways, for example through mergers or chains.
Det er kun med nød og næppe, at vi undgår at tale om en recession.
That is not supporting small businesses, Mr President, it is sabotaging them.
Ægte problemløsninger strander på kunstige skænderier om formelle eller institutionelle spørgsmål. Spørgsmålet om ensartede, fælles normer er her virkelig sekundært.
I hope it will accept that the third pillar - although no doubt it will continue, because that is what governments want -is not working as it should.
Det, vi har brug for, er en pragmatisk indgangsvinkel til maksimal optimering af samarbejdet mellem de dømmende og de udførende myndigheder til bekæmpelse af forbrydel­se, til beskyttelse af borgerne mod terrorisme, narko­tikahandel, pengevaskeri, ulovlig indvandring og organise­ret kriminalitet.
I know that some of the new Member States, particularly Finland and Sweden, are concerned about this and I hope to see a willingness to re-examine the operation of the third pillar.
Hertil hører også en intensivering af samarbejdet mellem de europæiske institutioner og de nationale parlamenter.
I also wish to ask if the Italian presidency will continue the efforts made under the Spanish presidency to achieve a Europe-wide agreement to extend the competence to act against racism and xenophobia at all levels, including that of the European Union itself, because we must combat racism and xenophobia at the local, the national and the European level.
Minister Agnelli haf til formiddag talt om behovet for økonomisk sikkerhed, hvilket hænger sammen med be­skæftigelses­ og saneringspolitik. I dag er den økonomiske vækst imidlertid blevet mindre i stedet for større.
Lindeperg (PSE). - (FR) Mr President, I should like to end this debate by reminding you that the European Parliament took stock of progress in the field of 'Justice and Internal Affairs' in 1995 when, last December, it approved the resolution which the Committee on Civil Liberties had instructed me to draw up.
Progno­serne for 1996 ser rent ud sagt dystre ud, for eksempel 1 % vækst i Tyskland, 1,7% vækst for Frankrig.
A more resolute political commitment, an increased number of decisions, a stated longterm objective - namely to create a European civil judicial area - and more fruitful contacts with Parliament.
Alt dette fører uundgåeligt til stigende arbejdsløshed og til stigende uli­ghed.
We hope that this progress will be affirmed under the Italian presidency.
Det italienske formandskab står her over for en stor opgave, og jeg håber, at det vil gå i gang med den af alle kræfter.
What I have heard from the Ministers indicates that this will indeed be the case and I very much welcome it.
Andersson (PSE). ­ (SV) UT. formand, beskæftigelses­spørgsmålene står nu øverst på dagsordenen for den poli­tiske debat i Europa, og det er kun naturligt, da det er vort største problem. Det spanske formandskab har efter min mening taget beskæftigelsesspørgsmålene alvorligt, og jeg håber, og tror, at det italienske formandskab vil gøre det samme.
Finally, on the question of EUROPOL, will the trend towards greater cooperation between national police forces using the machinery of EUROPOL be the way forward -which is what I would advocate - or is the presidency inclined to the view, as some people have suggested, that we should have a European police force or an equivalent of the American FBI?
Det forelagte program bestyrker mig i denne tro.
If so, how would that force be accountable and how would it be administered?
Jeg mener, at vi lige et øjeblik må holde fast i gårsdagens pressemeddelelser.
However, we also noted that most of the criticisms made during the previous year of the failures of the third pillar continue to apply.
Frankrig og Tyskland vil iværksætte et genopsving samtidig.
I would stress one point in particular, which we see as essential, and on which no notable progress has been made.
Så meget desto bedre, men så er mit spørgsmål til Dem: hvad stiller vi op med Den Europæiske Union?
This is the application of Article K.6 of the Treaty which stipulates that the presidency shall consult the European Parliament on the principal aspects of activities in this area and ensure that its views are duly taken into consideration.
Hvilke initiativer vil det italienske formandskab tage med henblik på at formulere og fremme en global genopsvingsplan?
Peijs (PPE). - (NL) Mr President, I had been practising to say sono ultima oratore, I am the last speaker, but in the event I shall not be.
Hvorledes skal vi, et andet afgørende punkt som Anne van Lancker også var inde på, kunne få gennemført sænkningen i de indirekte lønomkostninger?
The Italian presidency will have a few points to answer after me.
Dette er spørgsmål, der absolut må på dagsordenen i dag.
Firstly I must, express some disquiet.
Der udfoldes store bestræbelser i Unionen for, at så mange lande som muligt skal kunne deltage i det monetære samarbejde, og det synes jeg er godt.
I find no trace in the legislative programme of the directive on crossborder transfers.
Det er vigtigt, at vi har en lav inflation, at budgetunderskuddene mindskes, og
It is my firm conviction that this directive will be sorely needed by the man in the street and by small businesses. No one can imagine a
Gennemførelsen af Unionens beskæftigelsesstrategi.
There is no need for learned explanations in order to grasp the spirit of this article.
Chanterie skuddene øges, eller i en indskrænkning af aktiviteterne, hvilket blot vil øge arbejdsløsheden.
The Council will continue to monitor closely the situation in Chechnya, in relation, in particular, to the human rights aspects.
beslutninger ud i livet? Hvilke økonomiske midler vil man sætte ind?
the decisionmaking, the views of the European Parliament will not be taken into account.
Hvilke ekstra økonomiske midler vil der være tale om til de transeuropæiske net?
We still have much progress to make on this.
Hvorledes kan de europæiske strukturfonde, nærmere bestemt Den Eu­ropæiske Socialfond, sættes mere hensigtsmæssigt ind?
Let me take just one example: the interpretation of the definition of a refugee, by the terms of Article 1A of the Geneva Convention.
Dette er dagens store spørgsmål, og hvorledes vil vi kunne indgyde befolkningerne, som forbløffet spørger sig selv, hvad der dog sker, fornyet tillid?
This aspect of the right of asylum is clearly sufficiently important to be referred to in article K.6.
Antony (NI). ­ (FR) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, i sine forberedelser af den kommende regeringskonference har det italienske formandskab til hensigt at sætte ind på det retlige område.
The European Parliament has repeatedly demanded an interpretation in keeping with the spirit of the Geneva Convention and the guide to procedures of the High Commissioner for Refugees, which in particular allows the protection of persecuted persons, even if those responsible for the persecutions are not government authorities, but non-government groups.
Ak, vi har al god grund til endnu en gang at tro, at de bebudede reformer rummer elementer af Kom­missionens totalitære og bureaukratiske ånd.
An informal agreement was in fact reached on this point at the last 'Justice and Home Affairs' Council, although not to our satisfaction, and the formal decision must be taken at the next Council.
Meii ville det ikke ­ snarere end at udvikle pedantiske forskrifter ­ være bedre for vore stater efter to omskiftelige sekler at omdefinere begrebet menneskerettigheder, som man desværre har taget fra naturloven, fra Moseloven.
First of all, Parliament decided last month to press for the release of Mr Cunta, a German citizen who, because he was moving around Chechnya and had observed many things, is now sitting in a prison in Dagestan, and I wanted to know what the Council has done on his behalf.
Rettigheder for ugudelige mennesker, der er underkastet varierende ideologiske modefænomener; rettigheder for mennesker med et stort M som i Mand; et abstrakt begreb ophøjet til afgud, som debatteres livligt af den kosmopoli­tiske religions ypperstepræster.
Secondly, I should like to ask this question: how does the Council view these mock elections in Chechnya and the fact that the regime put into power by the Russians is actually aiding and abetting genocide? Because what is taking place in Chechnya is genocide! 600 000 people have been expelled.
Caccavale (UPE). ­ (IT) UT. formand, hr. ministre, hr. Watson konstaterede, at formandskabets aktivitetsprogram er som makaroni uden ost: måske burde man snarere tale om en makaroniopskrift uden ost.
It seems to me unacceptable for a decision on such an important point to be made without first consulting the European Parliament.
Så ville det ikke nu her, inden vi træder ind i det tredje årtusinde, være på tide at stadfæste respekten for det uskyldige liv som vore nationers grun­dlov?
President - My thanks to all honourable Members as well as to the Council: Mr Treu, Mr Coronas and Mr Marra; and to Commissioner Flynn.
Den første gode nyhed er, at jeg sikkert ikke vil få brug for to minutter til det, jeg har at sige.
President. - The next item is Question Time to the Council (B4-0001/96).
Den anden gode nyhed for vore venner i det italienske formandskab er, at jeg ikke agter yderligere at overlæsse en mere og mere synkefærdig skude.
Question No 1 by Mr Posselt (H-0003/96) Subject: Human rights in Chechnya
Τ øvrigt er de seks måneder, De har, ikke nok til meget mere end at udarbejde en liste over alt det, der er blevet sagt her i dag af Parlamentet og også af Kommis­sionen.
What is the Council's assessment of the human rights situation in Chechnya?
Hr. formand, til slut vil det være på sin plads at komme ind på spørgsmålet omkring den frie bevægelighed for perso­ner under traktatens artikel 7 A, og især retsstatsprincip­perne, der altid bør forsvares, og i den forbindelse tænker jeg f.eks. på problemet vedrørende EF­domstolens kompe­tence i relation til Europolkonventionen, konventionen om beskyttelse af Fællesskabets finansielle interesser samt konventionen om anvendelse af edb inden for toldområdet.
As far as the historical roots of the existing situation are concerned, these are factors which everyone, can, of course, interpret differently. The factors mentioned by the honourable Member are absolutely valid, but I note and repeat what the President-in-Office also said this morning, namely that the intervention by the European Union does not amount to interference; it is intervention in the form of an appeal to the Russian authorities whose responsibility it is, clearly, including territorially, to find a peaceful solution and a political settlement.
Jeg vil blot henlede Deres opmærksomhed på et punkt, som De ikke kan unddrage Dem, og som er problemet med genfinansieringen af det fjerde rammeprogram for forsk­ning og udvikling som det væsentlige element, det er i kampen for beskæftigelsen.
Gardini, President-in-Office of the Council. - (IT) The human rights situation in Chechnya continues to be a source of great concern to the Council.
Porto (ELDR). ­ (PT) Hr. formand, det nye formandskabs aktivitetsprogram understreger korrekt nødvendigheden af at opfylde Maastricht­kriterierne og vier samtidig beskæf­tigelsen stor opmærksomhed.
von Habsburg (PPE). - (DE) Mr President-in-Office of the Council, do you not think that the European Union is completely forfeiting its credibility in Chechnya by our failure to intervene vigorously enough and by our continuing to send a constant flow of material aid to the Russians without even spelling out that this aid is dependent on respect for collective human rights?
Disse to mål er imidlertid indbyrdes modstridende, da en restriktiv gennemførelse af kriterierne virker hindrende på jobskabelsen.
After all, what is happening in Chechnya is pure and simple genocide, and it is high time we adopted a clearer line! My question, then, is whether you do not agree that this is necessary.
Det gælder derfor om at træffe realistiske foranstaltninger inden for Unionens beføjelser, foranstaltninger, der kan bidrage til at overvinde de vanskeligheder, der viser sig undervejs.
As the President-in-Office of the Council, Mrs Agnelli, underlined in her speech today to the European Parliament, the very importance that we attach to relations with Russia justifies the firmness with which we are addressing an urgent appeal to the Moscow authorities, pointing out that the European Union has invited the authorities of the Russian Federation to conclude a ceasefire and comply with their obligations in the field of human rights.
Det er helt klart et arbejde, der ligner et Herkulesarbejde, især efter den uansvarlige holdning, som det nederlandske parlament har lagt for dagen i de sidste par dage.
The escalation of the violence with the subsequent bombings and massacres demonstrates that the Chechen question can be resolved only at a political level and by peaceful means, as part of a balanced political settlement.
I dette perspektiv må der lægges større vægt på støtte til små og mellemstore virksomheder, især på regionalt plan, idet disse kan give et stort bidrag til jobskabelsen uden at belaste de offentlige budgetter i nævneværdig grad.
This is a direct request to the Council of the Union, but the Council operates within the scope of the provisions of the Treaty and the decisions taken, including in the past, by the Council itself and all of the structures of the European Union.
Jeg beder Dem således, hr. formand, om, at De uden tøven går i gang med denne sag.
I naturally take into account that, as far as that territory is concerned, there is internationally recognized sovereignty.
Men vi kan, min tro, godt tro på, at det vil lykkes, hvis De lægger al den glød i det, som vi kender Dem for.
Clearly, we are not able to say more than that.
Det gælder desuden om ufortøvet at mildne kravet om additionalitet i forbindelse med anvendelsen af strukturmi­dlerne. Selvfølgelig skal størrelsen af de tildelte beløb opretholdes, men landene skal ikke være forpligtet til at bidrage med egne midler, hvilket vil resultere i, at under­
The European Union has lent its full support to the activities of the OSCE group in Grozny: one aspect of which is the promotion of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, and the establishment of facts concerning the violation of those principles.
Ferri (PPE). ­ (IT) Hr. formand, hr. Watson stillede sig selv og os det spørgsmål, om ikke det, vi oplever, er et manglende engagement fra Italiens side. Det er et forhold,
President. - Question No 2 by Jan Willem Bertens (H-008/96)
Jeg er da også overbevist om - og både ministeren og statssekretæren i justitsministeriet nævnte det - at det er afgørende, at EF-Domstolen spiller en stadig større rolle, idet der er et stadigt voksende krav om et velfungerende retssystem i den europæiske befolkning og således også i den italienske.
The Member States of the European Union will also work for the inclusion in the Convention of a mechanism to ensure further review of it, at shorter intervals, to secure ever-greater effectiveness in applying the Convention.
Dette er reelt også et stort problem inden for den civile retspleje, hvor der kan konstateres utrolige forskelle fra land til land, hvilket jeg mener, Rådet bør interessere sig for.
How does the Council, during the conference currently taking place, intend to stop the humanitarian crises of indiscriminate killing of civilians by mines occurring?
Jeg håber, at det italienske formandskab også vil være i stand til at yde en indsats på disse væsentlige områder.
Does the Council really believe a distinction between smart and dumb mines can achieve just that?
Olli Rehn (ELDR). - (Fl) Jeg håber, at Italien i kraft af sine erfaringer som grundlæggemation kan lede forman dskabet effektivt til trods for sin interne regeringskrise.
Does the Council agree that the Member States should put a more precise deadline for the 'eventual' total ban of landmines?
Jeg mener, der er et grundlæggende problem, som det ikke er det rette øjeblik at komme nærmere ind på. Dog vil jeg ganske kort nævne, at der først og fremmest er problemet omkring udnævnelse af dommere, som fremover ikke bør udnævnes af regeringerne, men via »concours«.
In that connection, I can inform the House that at the beginning of this year, during the preparations for the second session, the Troika made a number of representations to third countries playing an important part in the negotiations.
Jeg er således overbevist om nødvendigheden af at revidere og styrke EF-Domstolens centrale rolle, at omfordele kompetencen mellem retten i første instans og »anden instans« og at gøre det lettere for borgerne at henvende sig til EF-Domstolen bl.a. gennem en styrkelse af dennes rolle og sammensætning.
In the context of those negotiations, the European Union Troika urged all of the participating States to demonstrate the necessary flexibility so that agreements on certain very important technical aspects could finally be reached.
De små og mellemstore virksomheder indtager en nøgleposition i skabelsen af nye varige arbejdspladser. Økono misk vækst alene er ikke tilstrækkeligt - det er også nødvendigt at nedsætte de indirekte arbejdskraftsomkostninger og i det hele taget forny strukturerne på arbejd smarkedet.
In light of accidents in Yugoslavia and past experiences in Cambodia, does the Council agree that all those clearing landmines should commit themselves to the destruction of those landmines found instead of clearing them and returning them to the owners?
