Det er på tide at oprette en meteorologisk observationspost for naturkatastrofer af den omhandlede type, som finder sted i lande med tilknytning til Den Europæiske Union.
It is high time to set up a meteorological observatory to monitor all disasters of this type in countries in or linked to the European Union.
Hver gang et medlem kommer her og redegør for endnu en katastrofe, er det i realiteten meget vanskeligt at måle den pågældende ulykkes virkelige omfang, og mange gange lytter nogle kolleger til de andre med stor mistillid og mener, at de overdriver elendigheden alene med det formål at hente penge til deres egne regioner.
Every time that a European Member of ParUament comes here with another disaster, at present it is very difficult to measure the extent of the damage, and very often some of our coUeagues look upon us with a certain amount of mistrust, with toe thought that they are complaining and exaggerating in order to extract extra funds for their own region.
Den 19. december sendte jeg en skrivelse til Kommissionens formand med anmodning om fællesskabsstøtte til Azorerne.
As regards the Azores, a first consideration is this: thè meteorological system of all Member States is sufficiently advanced and the problem is not predicting major down pours or hurricanes, because you are all well aware that hurricanes, typhoons, periods of extremely cold weather and rain can perfectly well be predicted.
Jeg noterer mig og takker for det positive svar fra hr. Santer, hvori det meddeles, at bevülingerne til reparation af offentlige infrastrukturer og landbragsinfrastrakturer er øget med 26 mio ECU.
I can confirm to you that the Commission has already taken a decision to earmark ECU 26 miUion for the Azores operational programme, within the Community framework of aid for Portugal, which means that de facto solidarity has been estabUshed between the metropolitan peninsular area of Portugal and the govern ment of the Azores because, finally, a transfer of internal income from the continental part of the country to the islands is now taking place. We believe this is a good and positive step targeted specificaUy at assisting victims of the disaster.
Jeg mener, at behandlingen af denne problematik må antage en institutionel form.
I think that we have to find an institutional approach to this kind of intervention.
Jeg tænker såvel på Azorerne, som Madeira og Moçambique og andre katastrofer, som vil blive præsenteret i dag, idet jeg finder det problematisk at komme og beklage sig ved »grædemuren«, uden at det reelt er muligt seriøst at vurdere omfanget af de skader, der sker randt omkring.
This could refer to the Azores, Madeira, Mozambique, and many of the other cases which are being focused upon here today, in that I find it very frustrating to come here and listen to toe 'wailing wall' without there being a serious and regular institutional method for assessing the damage done by disasters around the world.
Vi håber, at denne positive indstilling til støtte til Azorerne vil vare ved.

Miranda (GUE/NGL). - (PT) Madam President, obviously I am also behind the people of the Azores after what has happened and on this matter we have already presented and formulated a particular type of process, but the reason I am speaking before you today is because of. another situation, a recent event which took place in Mozambique.
Vi har ikke for vane at udnytte befolkningens lidelser til demagogiske formål.
Regarding potential action by the European Union, we wiU be able to act straight away since we have compensation funds available in Maputo and equipment which can be mobilized immediately to aUeviate, in addition, problems which arise for the affected population.
Såvel i Europa-Parlamentet som på Azorerne er vort formål at tjene vore medborgere.
This is not, therefore, a problem of financial resources - the financial resources exist - but simply one of whether or not it is possible to work out in toe field.
Europa­Parlamentets forhandlinger
The vote will take place today at 5.30 p.m.
Der er således ikke noget finansielt problem ­ de finan­sielle midler findes ­ problemet er at kunne komme i gang med arbejdet på stedet.
That is why I am here today and I think we should bear in mind the assessment which has been carried out by the Mozambican Government of damage, something around 30 mUlion US dollars, and therefore I would like to ask the Commission to take action on this matter and also - since the Commission is here, to give us an idea about the possibilities of taking action in this field in general.
Afstemningen finder sted i dag kl. 17.30.
We shall begin the votes at 5.30 p.m.

On Amendment No 6
Der er modtaget anmodninger fra FN's afdeling for humanitær bistand, det internationale Røde Kors og Røde Halvmåne, og vi har nu gennem ECHO stillet os til rådighed for disse organisationer og.er indstillet på at gøre så meget vi kan for at sikre nødhjælp til ofrene for jordskælvet.
Tillich (PPE), rapporteur. ­ (DE) Madam President, I would just like to recommend that the House adopt this amendment, provided that a reference is added to toe Committee of Inquiry into the Community transit system, as well as that on BSE.
TiUich (PPE), ordfører. ­ (DE) Fru formand, jeg vU kun anbefale Parlamentet at stemme for på den betingelse, at dette forslag suppleres og ud over BSE­Undersøgelsesudvalget tillige Undersøgelsesudvalget om Fællesskabsforsendelse medtages.

Wynn (PSE). ­ I was hoping that the rapporteur would delete the last three words.
Det er retningslinjerne for 1998­budgettet, og de sidste ord lyder: »efterfølgende budgetter«. Vi bør virkelig ikke stemme om disse ord. Det viUe være langt bedre, hvis de blev slettet, og hvis ordføreren kunne acceptere dette.
These are guidelines for toe 1998 budget and the last three words are: 'and subsequent budgets'.

Jeg kan imidlertid bekræfte, at Kommissionen allerede har truffet en første beslutning om at tildele 26 mio ECU til det operative program for Azorerne inden for fællesskabs­støtterammen for Portugal, hvUket vil sige, at der er etableret en solidaritetsforbindelse mellem moderlandet Portugal og Azorerne, for så vidt som der sker en overførsel af midler fra den kontinentale del af nationen til øområdet.

Fabre­Aubrespy (I­EDN). ­ (FR) Fra formand, inden afstemningen om dette punkt viUe jeg gerne have, at De i Deres egenskab af formand traf en beslutning om at erklære, at afslutningen af dette punkt ikke kan behandles.
Fabre­Aubrespy (I­EDN). ­ (FR) Madam President, before we vote on this paragraph, I ask you in your capacity as President to make a decision to declare the end of this paragraph inadmissible.
Kommissionen i Den Europæiske Union er pålagt at overholde traktaterne.
The Commission of the European Union is the guardian of the Treaties.
Det er vanskeligt for os at bede den om at overtræde dem.
We can hardly ask it to violate them.
Men vi beder den faktisk om inden årets udgang at forelægge en plan til oprettelse af en egentlig europæisk udenrigstjeneste.
But we are now asking it to present to us, before the end of this year, a plan for the creation of what is literally a European Foreign Service.
Det er ubestrideUgt, at der ikke er nogen bestemmelse i traktaten, der gør det muligt at oprette en sådan europæisk udenrigstjeneste.
Indisputably, no provision of the Treaty allows such a service to be set up.
Denne del af punktet kan således ikke behandles.
So this part of the paragraph is not admissible.
Såvel delegationen som Kontoret for Humanitær Bistand (ECHO) oplyser imidlertid, at det er nødvendigt at vente, indtil vandet trækker sig tilbage, før der kan foretages en reel evaluering af skademes omfang.
The services responsible have considered this question and toe paragraph is in fact admissible.

Van der Waal (I-EDN), skriftlig. - (NL) En af fordelene ved TiUich-betænkningen er, at den vælger et begrænset antal prioriteter for budgettet for 1998.
Van der Waal (I-EDN), in writing. - (NL) One of the good things about the Tillich report is that it focuses on a smaU number of priorities for the 1998 budget.
Frem for alt den vægt, der lægges på en politik til fordel for små og mellemstore virksomheder fortjener anerkendelse. Mulig hederne for vækst i beskæftigelsen er størst her.
The emphasis on helping small and mediumsized firms is particularly welcome, since this is where the greatest potential lies for creating jobs.
På den anden side synes jeg ikke, at det er rigtigt at vælge adskiUige programmer inden for ungdom, undervisning og kultur.
On the other hand, I think it is wrong to include in the priorities a number of youth, education and culture programmes, which are aU areas

Debates of the European ParUament
I betænkningen sættes fingeren endvidere med rette på den voksende kløft mellem forpligtelsesbevillinger og betalingsbevülinger i forbindelse med strukturfondene.
The report also rightly criticizes the growing gap between commitments and payments under the Structural Funds.
Om fanget af de bevillinger, for hvilke der endnu ikke er fundet noget formål, er siden 1986 vokset til snesevis af milliarder.
The amount of unused appropriations has grown into tens of biUions since 1986, and the ceiling for appropriations that was agreed at Edinburgh was manifestly too high.
Den i Edinburgh aftalte størrelse af bevillingerne er åbenbart sat alt for højt. Mange projekter opfylder ikke Kommissionens kriterier.
Many projects do not meet the Commission's criteria, and there is also the fact that each Member State has to match at least half of the European subsidy provided, so that in years of budget discipUne, the system is clearly much less successful.
Desuden spiller det en rolle, at hver medlemsstat selv skal være med til at finansiere mindst halvdelen af de europæiske subsidier. I år med budgetdisciplin er dette mindre belejligt.
The budget amounts should at least be based on realistic expectations.
I hvert fald skal budgetbeløbene være baseret på realistiske for ventninger.
We approve of close relations between the EU and Armenia, but Armenia is stiU in a state of war with Azerbaijan.
Torres Marques (PSE), skriftlig. - (PT) Den første betænkning af hr. TiUich var fuldstændig uacceptabel, da traktatemes målsætning om solidaritet og økonomisk og social samhørighed var fuldstændig fraværende.
The OSCE's call for the moves towards a peaceful settlement to be stepped up - on the basis of OSCE principles and with the key requtiement of an autonomous region with the maximum degree of self-government within the inter nationally recognized borders of Azerbaijan - was not accepted by Armenia.
Takket være de 140 ændringsforslag og Budgetudvalgets fremragende indsats har vi nu en langt mere fornuftig, afbalanceret og europæisk-orienteret betænkning.
The majority in Parliament has declined to see this opportunity, and has casually loosed its grasp on an important instrument of legislative potential within a CFSP.
Ή1 sidst landbrugsudgifterne. Også her er streng budgetdisciplin nødvendig.
FinaUy, there is agricultural spending, where strict budget discipline is also needed.
Alligevel går jeg ikke med til punkt 10 i TiUich-betænkningen, hvori der kraftigt opfordres til besparelser gennem ændring af forordningen.
I do not agree with paragraph 10 of the Tillich report, which urges that savings should be made by changing the regulations.
I 1992 valgte man et program med forskydning fra prisstøtte til indkomststøtte, hvilket blev fuldført i 1995.
In 1992, it was decided to have a programme which shifted support from prices to incomes, and this was completed in 1995.
Dertil kommer, at indkomsttillæggene er indført som kompensation for prisnedsættelser. Når der allerede nu foretages nedskæringer heri, således som Kommissionen i mellemtiden har foreslået i prispakken for 19971998, betyder dette, at tidligere løfter fra Kommissionen ikke indfries.
Then there are the extra income allowances that were introduced to compensate for lower prices: if these are now to be axed, as the Commission proposed in the prices package for 1997-1998, it will mean reneging on the Commission's earlier promises.
Der er følgende hovedårsager til, at jeg stemmer for den således omformulerede betænkning:
In toe draft texts produced by the IGC, Parliament's legislative rights with regard to international agreements should be drastically curtailed.
Den klare og systematiske bekræftelse af princippet om økonomisk og social samhørighed;
The report attempts to use the current BSE crisis to justify reducing incomes in the cereals sector, but BSE is a one-off problem, whereas the reduction in the extra in come allowances is likely to be permanent.
Fjernelsen af henvisningen til subsidiaritetsprincippet;
All things considered, I decided to vote against this report.
Carlotti (PSE), skriftlig. - (FR) Siden Antikkens tid har der været tætte forbindelser af kulturel og historisk art mellem Armenien og et vist antal europæiske lande.
Carlotti (PSE), in writing. - (FR) Ever since antiquity, close cultural and historic ties have existed between Armenia and a number of European countries.
Også tilstedeværelsen af betydelige samfund af armensk oprindelse i visse medlemsstater, herunder Frankrig, opfordrer til en styrkelse af Den Europæiske Unions partnerskab med Armenien.
Also, the existence of large communities of Armenian origin in some Member States, including France, calls for a closer partnership between the European Union and Armenia.
Afvisning af Rådets negative måde at gribe socialpolitikken an på (enstemmighedskravet) og beslutning om at medtage pilotprojekter vedrørende den sociale udstødelse, ældre, handicappede og familien og at styrke politikken til fremme af lige muligheder for mænd og kvinder;
The Green Group approves in principle of a PCA with Azerbaijan, and sees this - if it is implemented on the basis of partnership - as a valuable aid to the conversion process, to the extent that the EU assistance is geared to the real needs of the region and not just provided for reasons of self-interest.
Armenien, der er den mindste republik i det tidligere Sovjetunionen har igennem længere tid iværksat økonomi ske og demokratiske reformer. Men i en region, der er så ustabil som Transkaukasus, har dette land, der geografisk er en enklave, været under et utåleligt økonomisk pres fra
Armenia, the smallest of toe republics making up the former USSR, long since undertook economic and democratic reforms.
Som understreget af ordføreren må den økonomiske embargo, der er pålagt Armenien på grund af konflikten i Nagorno-Karabakh, absolut ophæves!
As the rapporteur emphasizes, the economic embargo imposed on Armenia because of toe conflict in Nagorny Karabakh must be lifted without fail!
Selv om udviklingen i den armenske økonomi har været lettet af våbenhvilen siden maj 1994, har regionens politiske ustabilitet haft mange negative virkninger på dette land.
Although the growth of the Armenian economy has been factiitated by toe ceasefire since May 1994, the political instabiUty of the region is having many adverse effects on the country.
Men den kendsgerning, at Aserbajdsjan stadig er i krig med Armenien og en frontlinje går midt gennem landet, bevirker, at 20 % holdes uden for denne bistands velsignelser.
However, the fact that Azerbaijan is still in a state of war with Armenia and that a front line runs through the middle of the country excludes 20 % of it from participating in the benefits of this aid.
Derfor skal der først etableres en fredsaftale med Armenien, herunder ophævelsen af aUe økonomiske blokader i regionen.
That is why there must first be a peace agreement with Armenia which includes the lifting of all regional economic blockades.
Det betyder imidlertid også, at Aserbajdsjan skal vise interesse for et attraktivt forslag til selvstyre i Nagorno-Karabakh inden for rammerne af de internationalt anerkendte principper og hurtigt lægge et sådant på forhandlingsbordet, så at forhandlingerne kan fremskyndes. des.
This also means, however, that Azerbaijan's interest in an attractive pro posal for self-government for Nagorno-Karabakh, on the basis of internationally recognized principles, must be brought to the negotiating table without delay, and the negotiations thereby taken forward.
Den nye partnerskabs- og samarbejdsaftale mellem Den Europæiske Union og Republikken Armenien; der er indgået for en periode på ti år, har til hensigt at fremme de økonomiske og sociale reformer og genopbygningen af de økonomiske og handelsmæssige systemer.
The new Partnership and Cooperation Agreement be tween the European Union and the Republic of Armenia, concluded for a period of ten years, is intended to promote economic and social reforms and the restructuring of the economic and trade systems.
