I Wien vil vi gøre en første status over de nationale handlingsplaner, der er sat i gang. Jeg er over bevist om, at den vil være positiv.
The criticism voiced by Chancellor Kohl and others of the European institutions are as hypocritical as they are misplaced.
Jeg er imponeret over den stædighed stats-og regeringscheferne lægger for da gen for at gøre en strategi for beskæftigelsen til en succes på langt sigt.
Germany would therefore do better, for example, to reduce its subsidies to the coal industry, which distort competition, in stead of criticizing Mr Van Miert's policies.
Beskæftigelsen er et af områderne i vores integrerede strategi.
Mr President of the Council, our continent has recovered the dynamism of a healthy economy.
Lige siden min start i 1995 har jeg skabt reelle re sultater for det indre marked, der er en af mine prioriteter.
Economic convergence must be strengthened further, and we support your words and actions regarding the joint action against un employment.
Også der har vi forstået, at en opgørelse vil være opmun
It should create new jobs, the European so cial model must be maintained.
Der var mange spekulationer om reelle og imaginære in tentioner hos den ene eller den anden part.
The Court of Justice recently decided that two Luxembourg nationals, who had respectively bought a pair of spectacles in Belgium and were seeking orthodontic treatment in Germany, were entitled to reimbursement of the costs.
Men jeg må konstatere, at debatten på selve Cardiff-mødet var åben, konstruktiv og uden nogen form for nag.
The Court did emphatically not take the place of the leg islator, as the Danish and German Prime Ministers main tain.

farming and fishing communities, those in industry -large and small, rural and urban communities and those who live in the lessdeveloped regions and islands.
Du er meget velkommen, Tony.
These decisions must not become part-time hostages in the heat of election campaigns.
Vi tog tre temaer op.
So who do they criticise?
Først de institutionelle spørgsmål, hvor den første prioritet naturligvis er at få ratificeret Amsterdam-traktaten.
Surely not the Maastricht and Amsterdam Treaties which they helped to set up? Such talk in public damages the Unions' image.
Men alle har erkendt, at en ny institutionel reform er nødvendig før den første udvidelse.
The Europe which we are building must favour an inclusive and caring society in which the interests of all must be respected.
Jeg ved, at Parlamentet tillægger dette meget stor betydning, og det vil vi få lejlighed til at tale om.
However, with 18 million people in the Un ion affected by unemployment including the young and the longterm unemployed, this objective is not being met.
Derefter kom vi til arbejdsgangen i og strukturen for institutionerne.
Failure to do so will result in the retention of a two-tier society of those who are included and those who are excluded.
Jeg tror, at enhver af vores institutioner skal kigge dybt i sin egen bevidsthed og undersøge sine egne strukturer og arbejdsgange set i lyset af de nye behov.
I re gret that there has been no consideration of establishing a new programme to combat social exclusion and actions on behalf of the elderly.
For mit vedkommende kan jeg henvise til det arbejde, Kommissionen allerede har indledt, om hvor den vil befinde sig i morgen.
I appeal to the President-in-Office and to the incoming President-in-Office to reassure the House that whatever new initiatives are necessary will be undertaken.
Det er temmelig umuligt at over vurdere betydningen af den holdningsændring, der nu er tydelig i Storbritannien, og som er blevet bevidnet af De res ministres hyppige besøg i Parlamentet under formand skabet.
Secondly, an integral review of all internal reimbursements by the European Parliament, so that only actual expenses are re imbursed, and the introduction of a uniform charter for Members.
Denne foran dring har helt klart en effekt på holdningerne i Storbritannien og bidrager til at skabe et mere velafbalanceret syn på Den Europæiske Union.
The conclusions on unemployment which are outlined in part 3 of the presidency's document are more an overview of what is being done at present than a new set of initiatives.
Jeg glæder mig over, at der er debat om dette punkt forudsat selvfølgelig, at den foregår i en ægte fællesskabsånd, og i total respekt for fællesskabsretten og også forudsat, at man erkender, at borgerne under tiden vil være irriterede over for meget EU, og mange endnu of tere vil kræve mere EU.
If we are to go along with the presidency's conclusions then the fifteen employment action plans submitted by the Member States represent a real effort to enhance the employability of young people, the longterm unemployed and women.
Jeg er personligt nået frem til nogle formuleringer om selve subsidiaritetens natur og især om nødvendigheden af at klargøre ansvarsområderne.
It means that demands that we have been making for the development of skills, lifelong learning, improving conditions for SMEs and the self-employed are being put into effect.
Som jeg sagde før, fejede enhver i Cardiff for sin egen dør.
This is very much indeed to be welcomed.
Jeg er parat til at gøre det, men jeg kræver, at man siger sandheden til borgerne, om hvem der gør hvad.
What we now need to see is the practical and rapid implementation of these action plans.
Jeg vil gerne gentage, at stats-og regeringscheferne gik i gang med alle spørgsmålene med en positiv indstilling, idet de så fremad.
A series of orientations for future work and employment are set out in the conclusions.
For dette mere end andet lykønsker og tak ker hele Parlamentet Dem, hr. premierminister.
IN THE CHAIR: MR D. MARTIN Vice-President
Jeg kan således konstatere at vi lidt efter lidt og et efter et er i gang med at realisere de store mål, vi fastsatte i 1995.
Collins, Gerard (UPE). - Mr President, I warmly wel come the British Prime Minister to the European Parliament.
Det er i øvrigt takket være disse fremskridt, at vi nu kan vende os beslutsomt mod fremtiden.
I wish to thank him and his colleagues for a very effective and efficient EU presidency.
Jeg vil gerne her udtrykke min tilfredshed med den atmosfære af forståelse og konstruktivt samarbejde, der har været frem herskende i forholdet mellem dette formandskab og Kom missionen gennem hele den forløbne seks måneders periode.
I would like to place on record that at all times this Parliament and its Members were extended every courtesy and assistance at political and official level.
Dette er vigtigt for EU og for Storbritannien.
I wish to thank the Prime Minister for his contribution here this morning.
Når man ser på, hvad det britiske formandskab har nået, er det umuligt kun at se på resultatet af Cardiff-topmødet.
We attach considerable importance to the successful in troduction of the euro.
Dette formandskab er bemærkelsesværdigt på grund af to enestående begivenheder, der fandt sted i marts og maj.
It is essential that the remaining legislative and practical steps be completed rapidly.
Igangsættelsen af udvidelsesprocessen i marts markerede åbningen af en ny æra i Den Europæiske Unions udvikling.
The negotiations which have begun on Agenda 2000 are among the most important ever to be undertaken by the Union.
I vores side af Parlamentet støtter vi udvidelsen for at sikre fred og stabilitet på vores kontinent også uden for EU's grænser.
Choices will have to be made about key policies which will have major longterm consequences for each of our countries.
Den Europæiske Union er en enestående model til løsning af konflikter.
It not only has consequences for present Member States but also for the whole process of enlargement.
Og hvis der ikke var andre grunde til udvidelse, ville vi i den social demokratiske gruppe støtte den af denne grund frem for nogen anden.
Under no circumstances can the cohesion process for existing less-developed regions be jeopardized, nor should there be any link between EMU participation and eligibility under the Cohesion Fund.
Den succesfulde åbning af Europa-konferencen og de bilaterale forhandlinger med seks af de el leve ansøgerlande fortjener vores varmeste anerkendelse.
They must, for example, in the case of my country, be adequate in terms of the level and duration of funding in order to address our con tinuing significant development needs.
Green (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne på vegne af Socialdemokraterne i Parlamentet indlede med at ønske premierminister Blair velkommen til Europa-Parlamentet.
The Cardiff Summit has been more a stocktaking exercise than one in which major decisions have been made. Nevertheless, an ambitious timetable has been set for reaching major agreements on the reform of the common agricultural policy, the regional and social funds and the budget.
De vil nok tilgive mig, hr. premierminister, når jeg siger, at søsætningen af den fælles valuta den 2. og 3. maj var en knap så pletfri operation, selvom vi alle sætter pris på, at De forsøgte at forene tilsyneladende uforenelige holdninger, hvilket er noget, vi meget ofte må slås med her i Par lamentet.
We take a positive view of the incipient coordination of national employment plans, which could involve the first impulse of a Community policy which puts economic and social issues on the same level. But the European Council has not analysed the viability of those national plans which, in many cases, do not set out clear objectives or set aside financial resources for their implementation.
len om penge, der er blevet anvendt af Europa-Kommissionen uden et udtrykkeligt retsgrundlag for sådanne ud gifter.
We hope that the Vienna European Council is more decisive and takes into account the experiences of France and Italy to reduce weekly working time without loss of salary and other socioeconomic measures which should be con sidered in terms of the European dimension.
Som følge af denne dom har Europa-Kommissionen, som De ved, truffet den beslutning, man kunne forvente, om at sætte en stopper for alle udgifter fra den pågældende budgetpost.
Mr President, I would like to personally congratulate you on your own efforts and those of my Prime Minister Ber tie Ahern with regard to the Northern Ireland peace agree ment of 10 April.
Dette betyder f.eks. budgetposter vedrørende social udstødelse, ældre, idræt i Europa, bekæmpelse af racisme, støtte til handicappede, folkesundhed, antipersonelminer og naturligvis NGO'ers ar bejde i udviklingslandene.
My group warmly appreciates the fur ther endorsement by the European Council of this historic agreement and its renewed commitment that the Union should continue to play an active part in promoting lasting peace and prosperity in Northern Ireland.
Vi kan alle ved et hurtigt øje kast se, at disse små men betydelige budgetposter er po ster, der har haft en betydelig indvirkning på tilværelsen for nogle af vores Unions mest trængende borgere og for dem, vi søger at hjælpe uden for vores grænser.
We particularly welcome the Council's invitation to the Commission to make proposals as to how new and creative ways can be found to support the fresh opportunities which the peace agreement will bring.
Jeg er glad for, at De har givet Deres tilsagn om at tage affære og sikre et retsgrundlag for disse udgifter, som De har gjort klart, at De ikke har til hensigt at skade.
If we want to respect the current internal solidarity and be able to finance enlargement, we will have to ex ceed the ceiling of 1.27 % of GDP and maintain the level of contributions from the wealthiest countries, which will be those that profit most from enlargement.
Min gruppe har i mange år været kritisk indstillet over for den måde, hvorpå Rådet håndterer udnævnelsen til de vigtigste politiske og nu økonomiske stillinger i Unionen.
As regards international cooperation, we support the initiatives to relaunch the negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians and we believe that additional pres sure must be applied in order to ensure that Netanyahu's government respects the Oslo agreements and the United Nations resolutions.
Selvom vi alle skønner, at søsætningen af den fælles valuta gudskelov markedsmæssigt var en ubetinget succes, var der reel forfærdelse over skænderierne mellem stats cheferne, som sås af alle.
Finally, it is my view that it is regrettable that the Euro pean Commission has again come under attack in the con text of the European Summit.
Jeg går ud fra, at De, hr. premierminister, som manden i midten må dele nogen af denne forfærdelse.
The Commission has al ways undertaken the duties and responsibilities it has been given in an evenhanded and fair manner.
Vi er taknemmelige for, at De havde held til at løse dette på en god måde og for, at euroen er blevet en realitet.
The Com mission has consistently discharged its functions as guarantor of the European Treaties in an exemplary fashion.
Måske kunne vi opfordre Dem til at søge at finde frem til en mere tilfredsstillende metode til fremtidige ud nævnelser af folk til de højeste stillinger, når De indleder Deres uformelle drøftelser med de andre regeringschefer i Østrig i oktober for at se på, hvordan man kan gøre Unionen mere forståelig for dens folk.
President Santer and his team of Commissioners have consistently reported on their activities to this Parliament and have not in my view exceeded the powers which have been given to them by the Council and I hope that the Commission will not be made a scapegoat in national election campaigns in our Member States.
I de resterende dage af Deres formandskab regner vi med, at De vil sikre, at ordene »et folkets Europa« vil få en reel og varig genklang gennem denne handling.
We value the efforts made to develop a European identity in international politics, but I am sure Mr Blair will allow me to tell him that, at times, the British presidency has seemed more like the Atlantic partner of the United States than the coordinator of European foreign policy.
Jeg må sige, at vi var ret så tilfredse med den rolle, Parlamentet spillede i denne proces.
As regards institutional reform, we must learn from the failure of Amsterdam.
Det er vores ansvar at udøve denne funktion effektivt og sikre, at vores nationale parlamenter bliver holdt fuldt ud briefet om den regnskabspligt, som vi skal udøve over for centralbanken, dens formand og styrelsesråd.
The situation is scandalous, in view of its urgency, which is unavoidable because of enlargement, and the need for a reorientation of the con struction of Europe with institutions which are capable of responding to their citizens' aspirations.
I Amsterdam lykkedes det ikke at færdiggøre dette arbejde, og for så vidt som den debat, som De har igangsat, vil behandle disse punkter, hilser vi den meget velkommen.
This Parliament and public opinion throughout Europe are following with emotion the efforts being made to achieve peace and democratic normality in that European region.
Jeg må også sige, at Det Europæiske Råd for første gang i mands minde for nogen her i Parlamentet rent faktisk har lyttet til vores bønner om at se på de al mindelige betingelser omkring Europa-Parlamentets medlemmers udøvelse af deres pligter.
We also thank the British presidency for the pro-European climate that it has been able to stamp on its term, a climate which would have been unthinkable among previous governments of the United Kingdom.
Valget af Dem i maj sidste år og af hr. Jospin i Frankrig en måned senere skabte et progressivt flertal i Rådet, der gjorde det muligt for us at bevæge os rent konkret fra ord til handling via etableringen af beskæftigelseskapitlet i Amsterdam-traktaten, det særlige beskæftigelsestopmøde i Luxembourg og fastlæggelsen af en række reelle delte mål for jobskabelse.
To conclude, I must tell you, Mr Blair, that a substantial part of the European left, which represents more than 12 million voters, cannot allow the monetarist ideology, expressed in the convergence criteria and in the Stability Pact which accompany the birth of the euro, to question economic and social cohesion and to put the European so cial model at risk.
Nogle na tionale handlingsplaner er absolut bedre end andre, men' vi har dem i det mindste.
But we must tackle all of these problems seriously.
Vi bemærker, at den britiske re gering var den første, der udarbejdede en sådan plan, og den har ageret som katalysator for den hurtige og vigtige udarbejdelse af andre.
In or der to do so and to build a Europe of solidarity we will un doubtedly need the joint effort of the diverse left, as is al ready the case in certain countries of the European Union.
Hr. premierminister, jeg vil gerne på Europa-Parlamentets vegne bifalde det, De lige har sagt om et spørgsmål, der giver anledning til et alvorligt problem for borgere og NGO'er over hele Den Europæiske Union. Jeg henviser her til den dom, der i sidste måned blev afsagt af Domsto
Maybe this is the best contribution of the British presidency because, and I say this very sincerely, the running of the presidency, even with the success of the birth of thé euro and, in particular, the results of Cardiff, does not generate enthusiasm or excessive optimism at this ex tremely decisive stage for the construction of Europe.
Jeg noterer, at De i de britiske aviser i denne uge er citeret for at have sagt, at De, samtidig med at De med rette insisterer på at gøre noget ved dette, ønsker at anerkende, at det overvældende flertal af medlemmer af Europa-Parlamentet er ærlige, hårdt arbejdende mennesker, der retter sig efter vores retsforskrifters bogstav og ånd.
Aelvoet (V). - (NL) Mr President of the Council, Mr Pres ident of the Commission, ladies and gentlemen, as ex pected, Mr Blair has with much flair and feeling for public relations drawn attention to Europe at the.start of the British Presidency, promising much.
Ifølge traktaten skal der en stemmighed til i Rådet, hvis disse spørgsmål skal løses. Vi er ivrige efter at få dem løst.
A citizens' Europe, democratic and transparent, a Europe which would credi-
Europa skal derfor have et ansigt. Udenrigspolitikken, hr. rådsformand, var ikke tilstrækkeligt genkendelig.
bly promote a healthy environment, which would easily and quickly enter the euro zone - in a manner of speaking - and with a more humane foreign policy, armed with a meaningful code of conduct for the export of arms.
Vi mener, at Deres formandskab var for beskedent i Kosovo krisen, i spændingerne mellem Indien og Pakistan og med hensyn til at råde bod på trojkaens fiasko i Algeriet. Vi skal være tilhængere af en mere autentisk europæisk udenrigspolitik, også hvis Europa derved skal give sin holdning stærkere til kende over for USA.
Finally, I would like to thank Mr Henderson and Mrs Clare Short for their willingness to accord consultative powers to the European Parliament in respect of expansion and the Lomé Convention, amongst other things; support for the strengthening of this Parliament means in deed support for the strengthening of democracy and closer ties with the citizens.
mandat, deres rettigheder og ansvar, deres privilegier og immunitet.
Many of the promises went up in smoke in a blue skies discussion on the future, with fewer concrete results than hoped for.
Det er ikke nemt at samle 15 forskellige landes parlamentære og politiske kulturer og skabe en fælles europæisk kultur i denne henseende.
However, the positive stance of the British Government in respect of Europe is an important change.
Vi ønsker at sikre, at det Parlament, der efterfølger os her i juni næste år, kan lægge dette spørgsmål bag sig, og vi bifalder Deres forpligtelse til at arbejde sammen med os om at gøre noget ved dette.
But we are disappointed that you have attached so much importance in your press conference to the initiative by President Chirac and Chancellor Kohl, who to gether put subsidiarity on the European agenda, where the future evolvement of Europe is concerned- What a present for the Presidency, the British eurosceptism is of the past but now the Continentals back the centralised bureau cratic euro nation which Great Britain has denounced.
Hr. premierminister, jeg anerkender måske mere end no gen anden her, hvor meget De har støttet en Europa-venlig politik i vores parti og en konstruktiv Europa-venlig politik for Storbritannien i Den Europæiske Union. Jeg takker Dem som min partiformand, som britisk premier minister og som formand for Rådet for Den Europæiske Union.
Macartney (ARE). - Mr President, these are major occasions in the life of our Parliament and we should not over look the fact that President Santer is here as well as the President-in-Office and I welcome them both.
Jeg vil ikke falde for den lette fristelse til at gøre EU-institu-tionerne, og nærmere bestemt Kommissionen, til syndebuk. Vi må faktisk gøre en ende på trangen til at træffe be stemmelser.
The change of government was welcomed right across Europe, not least in Scotland where the Conservatives suffered total wipe-out at the general election.
Men vi må også erkende, at Kommissionen har pålagt sig selv kravet om subsidiaritet og har reduceret sine forslag.
But I would say to the President-in-Office that he should not mistake the sighs of relief for gasps of admiration.
Men vi må ligeledes sige, at det indre marked aldrig ville være lykkedes uden de initiativer, som Kommissionen har taget.
The greatest asset the Labour Government has is that it is not the old Conservative Government.
Det er meget let på det nationale område at tage æren for den europæiske solidaritets suc ceser.
We consider the initiative by Mr Kohl and Mr Chirac to be an attack on a future-oriented European political project.
Dette er meget lettere end at erkende, at institutionerne har fungeret godt. Det drejer sig således ofte om meget uberettigede bebrejdelser.
The concepts of subsidiarity and decentralization are blatantly abused in order to exclude undesirable inter vention in their own territory.
Vi må tværtimod over bevise vores medborgere om, at de i deres daglige liv kan takke den europæiske politik for meget med hensyn til be skyttelsen af miljøet, styrkelsen af den interne sikkerhed og samarbejdet mellem politiet og retsvæsenet.
Member States who have previously supported a common market with common rules of play should not complain afterwards about the fact that the Commission safeguards its concrete realization.
Martens (PPE). - (NL) Hr. formand, hr. formand for Rådet, hr. formand for Kommissionen, kære kolleger.
Mr Hänsch is correct in saying that Mr Kohl's liking for subsidiarity is proportional to his aversion to the ban on the Kirsch and Bertelsmann merger.
Hr. formand for Rådet, på vores gruppes vegne hilser jeg Dem velkommen ved Deres første optræden her, og jeg takker Dem for det arbejde, som De har gjort under Deres formandskab.
I cannot rid my self of the impression that it is not so much Europe which should get closer to the people as we, the national govern ments, who should get closer to them.
Hr. rådsformand, vores kontinent har genfundet dynamismen fra en sund økonomi.
In saying this, I do not want to be grudging.
Jeg håber, at De vil kunne tage initiativer til at rette op på de uønskede og negative følger af Domstolens seneste afgørelse.
This Parliament appreciates the fact that we have had Ministers such as Robin Cook, Clare Short and many others addressing Parliament and attend ing its committee meetings.
Lad os derfor holde op med at opføre os reserveret eller mistænksomt over for Den Europæiske Union.
Well, the handbag has gone but the rebate and the claim for rebate remain from the UK, and from Germany.
Deres formandskab kendetegnes af to beslutninger, som til stadighed vil høre hjemme i den europæiske integration.
In trying to appraise the record of the UK presidency we have to match the rhetoric and the achievement and ask ourselves what we will remember the UK presidency for.
