De Europæiske Højrepartiers Tekniske Gruppe går klart ind for det størst mulige nationernes Europa, uden at noget land udelukkes, hverken Polen, Ungarn eller Bosnien.
But I would congratulate the European Commission on its extremely sensitive approach to these negotiations and its ability to find imaginative solutions to these problems.
Det er dog indlysende, at denne optagelse må foregå efter de gældende procedurer og regler.
I would like to take the opportunity in particular to thank the Task Force on Enlargement under Mr Steffen Smidt for their cooperation with Parliament.
Vi kan ikke, hr. Otto von Habsburg, optage retskæmpernes fædreland Verdross eller Kelsen uden respekt for de gældende procedurer og etiketteregler.
They preserve the acquis communautaire while showing sensitivity to the needs of the applicant states, particularly over agriculture.
Formanden. - Hr. Antony, jeg har den pågældende bestemmelse i forretningsordenen klart for øje.
Moreover, we want the Swedish people - who have been called to a referendum - to be able to appreciate the inherently complex political project, in addition to the details on individual agreements.
Der står, at der kan afgives en stemmeforklaring i forbindelse med den endelige afstemning, men ikke inden den endelige afstemning.
Mr President, whatever attitude each of us takes when the time comes to vote, I think we are all fully aware that we are facing the most important political act of this legislative session: an act which is not only the final touch in a period of extraordinary change in Europe over the past five years, but at the same time a period marking the beginning of new changes.
Imidlertid har plenarforsamlingen truffet en afgørelse om dette spørgsmål.
This fourth enlargement is the most important one, not only from the point of view of the number of countries involved, but also in qualitative terms: the geopolitical balances of the Union are changing, and the Union's centre of gravity is shifting to the north.
25 millioner indbyggere, der tilslutter sig Den Europæiske Unions store familie, har krav på en ceremoni, især når det gælder Kejserriget Østrig.
If, in this context, there is a note of serious regret, this stems from the negative attitude which the Council has maintained regarding the problems of institutional adjustment.
Man kan ikke krænke etiketten i det Habsburgske hus.
There is no last resort in politics, at least not in this case.
Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er forhandling under ét om følgende betænkninger:
Just a few years ago, this seemed a remote - indeed, inconceivable -possibility, yet it was an idea that matured rapidly with the collapse of the regimes in eastern Europe.
A3-0345/94 af Jepsen for Udvalget om Udenrigs- og Sikkerhedsanliggender om Kongeriget Norges an søgning om medlemskab af Den Europæiske Union (AA-AFNS 16 endel. - C3-0205/94 - 94/ 0067(AVQ);
Rossetti responsible for the final product that the same holds good for them after fifteen months, our assessment therefore pertains to the main points.
Vi er 39 dage fra valgets hellige sakramente, hvilket for nogle uger siden i øvrigt også sås af Udvalget om Institutionelle Spørgsmål og hr. Bourlanges, der går ind for henvisning til fornyet udvalgsbehandling.
Cunha Oliveira (PSE), draftsman for the opinion for the Committee for Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development. - (PT) Mr President, I am immensely gratified, for two reasons.
Lad os forelægge Den Europæiske Unions tolv befolkninger dette betydningsfulde spørgsmål, og hvis udvidelsen skal finde sted, må det være med særdeles stor samstemmighed af befolkningerne, den vedrører, og ikke blot et flertal i et Parlament, der befinder sig sidst i sin valgperiode.
The first because the Parliament has, finally, included discussion of the application by the Kingdom of Norway to join the European Union on the order of work for this session. Secondly, because the fisheries sector did not turn out to be an insuperable barrier to preliminary negotiations for membership.
A3-0344/94 af Sakellariou for Udvalget om Uden rigs- og Sikkerhedsanliggender om Republikken Østrigs ansøgning om medlemskab af Den Europæiske Union (AA-AFNS 16 endel. - C3-0206/94 -94/0063(AVC));
The EEA has already taken care of many essential economic adjustments; major obstacles seem to have been satisfactorily resolved in the negotiations.
A3-0346/94 af Titley for Udvalget om Udenrigs- og Sikkerhedsanliggender om Republikken Finlands ansøgning om medlemskab af Den Europæiske Union (AA-AFNS 16 endel. - C3-0207/94 - 94/ 0065(AVQ);
Brok (PPE), draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on Social Affairs, Employment and the Working Environment. — (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the Committee on Social Affairs, Employment and the Working Environment I would like to say, in relation to Finland in particular but also to the other applicant countries, that we see no problems about accession in terms of social policy.
A3-0343/94 af Rossetti for Udvalget om Udenrigsog Sikkerhedsanliggender om Kongeriget Sveriges ansøgning om medlemskab af Den Europæiske Union (AA-AFNS 16 endel. - C3-0208/94 - 94/ 0064(AVQ);
Indeed, Mr President, - as I attempted to show in my opinion - I am convinced that, as far as fisheries are concerned, Norwegian membership of the European Union will benefit us all in different ways.
Bourlanges (PPE). - (FR) Hr. formand jeg kan allerede nu oplyse, at De i løbet af formiddagen vil modtage en anmodning om henvisning til fornyet udvalgsbehandling undertegnet af 103 medlemmer.
The changes in the situation in Europe in 1989/1990 prepared the ground for establishing a large area of peace and freedom.
Medlemmerne vil gerne have, at denne anmodning - i overensstemmelse med Deres udtalelser - sættes under afstemning lige inden afstemningen om de fire anmodninger om samstemmende udtalelser.
We can create a region in which war will be impossible in the long term. The accession of these countries is an important stage in that development.
Hvorfor ønsker vi det?
That is why it is important to accept them.
Fordi vi ikke ønsker at krybe uden om denne forhandling; vi ønsker en forhandling om tiltrædelsesansøgningerne.
Of course there are some institutional concerns: the ability to act of the Community, how to overcome the democratic deficit.
Derfor er vi i dag imod De Europæiske Højrepartiers forslag og afventer en anmodning om henvisning til fornyet udvalgsbehandling, som De vil modtage i løbet af dagen, hr. formand.
Metten (PSE), draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy. - (NL) Mr President, I shall speak later in the debate about linking together the issues of deepening and widen ing of the Union, a subject which is the cause of much emotion in this House.
(Fornyet udvalgsbehandling af de fire betænkninger forkastedes)
Spencer successful conclusion to a courteously conducted negotiation.
A3-0299/94 af Sakellariou for Udvalget om Uden rigs- og Sikkerhedsanliggender om Østrigs tiltrædelse af Den Europæiske Union;
For that reason, and in agreement with the opinions expressed by previous rapporteurs, I call for a vote in favour during voting time later today.
A3-0298/94 af Titley for Udvalget om Udenrigs- og Sikkerhedsanliggender om Finlands ansøgning om medlemskab af Den Europæiske Union;
There is a Committee on Equal Treatment which acts as the arbiter between employers and workers. In practice, however, there are still distinct differences in wages.
Jepsen (PPE), ordfører. - Hr. formand, Europa-Parlamentet står i dag over for den hidtil vigtigste beslutning i dets femtenårige historie som direkte folkevalgt Parlament, nemlig beslutningen om optagelse af fire nye lande som medlemmer af Den Europæiske Union.
Stavrou (PPE), draftsman of the opinion of the Commit tee on External Relations. - (EL) Mr President, I will confine what I have to say mainly to Norway, concerning which I had the honour to draft the opinion of the Committee on External Economic Relations, and which, as we all know, has proved to be the most difficult candidate for accession.
Det er første gang, Europa-Parlamentet har et direkte medansvar for inddragelsen af nye medlemslande i et stadig tættere
Quite rightly, therefore, many people are asking why so much effort is being made, so much time wasted, so much expenditure incurred.
A3-0304/94 af Rossetti for Udvalget om Udenrigsog Sikkerhedsanliggender om resultaterne af for handlingerne om Sveriges ansøgning om tiltrædelse af Den Europæiske Union.
Banotti (PPE), draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on Culture, Youth, Education and the Media. - Mr President, today is a very happy day for me and I shall be voting joyfully for the accession of the applicant countries.
Jeg håber, at vi i eftermiddag kan udvise det ansvar, som er pålagt Parlamentet, for der har nemlig ikke været utilfredshed med selve indholdet, kun krav om institutionelle ændringer.
They have a sophisticated audiovisual industry and we look forward to working with them there in what we hope will prove to be one of the great areas of expansion within the European Union.
Det er spændende timer, vi har, det er afgørende timer, og jeg håber, at vi i eftermiddag vil sætte et flot punktum for vores femårige valgperiode ved at sige et ja og velkommen til de nye medlemslande.
They are already participating in the MEDIA Programme and their legislation is in line with the TV-without-frontiers directive.
Til det norske folk vil jeg gerne sige: »Kom nu helt ind i Fællesskabet, vi er ikke så slemme, som I tror«.
They have negotiated an exception on the question of alcohol advertising due, I believe, to that country's concern about alcoholism.
(Bifald) samarbejde mellem europæiske nationer. Det er spændende, om Parlamentet også kan leve op til det ansvar.
Finally - the third point - not voting for approval is not the end of the world, ladies and gentlemen.
Det var med et stort flertal, at Udvalget om Udenrigs- og Sikkerhedsanliggender på sit seneste møde anbefalede Parlamentet at godkende resultatet af tretten måneders intense forhandlinger om optagelse af de fire nye med lemslande.
Believe me, if there is no approval this afternoon, it does not mean the end of Europe, the end of the enlargement.
Når det er lykkedes for udvalget at komme så langt, skyldes det efter min mening et mønsterværdigt samarbejde mellem Parlamentet og for den sags skyld både Rådet og Kommissionen.
We are determined to obtain from the Council the initiation of an interinstitutional dialogue on the conditions for introducing institutional reforms.
Det vil jeg gerne takke for.
We give the Council this rendezvous today!
Vi har på samme måde løbende haft lejlighed til at give udtryk for Parlamentets holdninger til problematikken.
If the Council will give up its stonewalling attitude we can meet again, here or in Brussels, in a fortnight and vote enthusiastically and unanimously for the enlargement and the accession agreements.
Sakellariou (PSE), ordfører. - (DE) Hr. formand, hr. kommissionsformand, mine damer og herrer, i den sidste mødeperiode afslutter Parlamentet sit arbejde med den vigtigste afgørelse i denne valgperiode, nemlig samstemmende udtalelser om tiltrædelsen af de fire ansøgerstater, Norge, Østrig, Finland og Sverige.
Nielsen (LDR), draughtsman for the opinion of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy. - (DA) Mr President, I shall speak partly on behalf of the Economic and Monetary Commit tee, on the accession negotiations with Norway, and partly on behalf of the Danish Liberal Party and its Members in the Liberal, Democratic and Reformist Group.
Jeg er overbevist om, at denne udvidelse er et enormt skridt hen imod integration og demokrati for Den Europæiske Union.
I believe also, Mr President, that Ireland could provide a useful model and has done in the past.
Efter min mening skal dette Parlament og ikke det næste, der vælges den 12. juni, træffe denne afgørelse.
Yet we can see that Ireland is participating very fully in EU affairs and although there has been an historical change in the last five years, I believe that we have a common interest in this particular issue on which I look forward to working with our colleagues from Finland, and indeed from all the other neutral applicant countries.
Under forhandlingerne har jeg beskæftiget mig med de enkelte spørgsmål, der omhandler Østrig. Jeg er meget glad for udfaldet af disse forhandlinger.
As I said, Mr President, the Youth Committee unanimously voted in favour, we have nothing to complain about whatsoever in terms of either the educational or cultural policies in Finland and we look forward to working with Finland.
Forhandlingerne var saglige og har behandlet og taget ligeligt hensyn til begge parters interesser.
Bourlanges (PPE), draftsman of the opinion of the Com mittee on Institutional Affairs. - (FR) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I bring you a triple message.
Man opnåede noget nyt, da Den Europæiske Union for første gang forpligtede sig til at se kritisk på flere sider af dens egen situation.
First and foremost may I salute the candidate countries here, and say how very much we hope they will join the European Union as soon as possible.
Det er ikke sådan, at overgangsperioderne skal anvendes til at sænke Østrigs høje miljømæssige og sociale standarder og tilpasse dem gennemsnitsstandarderne i Unionen.
No doubt many of us will vote for the reference back and some will vote against approval, but that does not in the least mean that we do not want them to join the European Union as soon as possible.
Dette gælder navnlig forholde ne inden for landbrugs- og fiskerisektoren, og det gælder de nye medlemslandes særlige behov inden for rammerne af den fælles regionalpolitik.
I would also like to emphasize - this is my view and it is also the view of the Committee on Institutional Affairs -that Parliament has a duty to refuse approval today.
Som ordfører med ansvar for behandlingen af Norges ansøgning føler jeg mig holdt længst på pinebænken.
It is of capital importance that it should be conscious of that duty.
Jeg var en overgang bange for, at Norge skulle blive offer i en intern strid mellem institutionerne.
Why? In this assembly we have always linked deepening to widening.
Men også det fandt sin løsning. Det er faktisk lykkedes EU og den norske regering at forhandle sig frem til en for begge parter acceptabel aftale om en fornuftig og hensigtsmæssig kontrol med og forvaltning af anvendelsen af fiskeressourcerne i den norske del af Nordsøen og Nordatlanten.
We have not demanded that deepening precede widening, but we have asked that they be pursued in parallel.
Et emne, der som medlem af Udvalget om Udenrigs- og Sikkerhedsanliggender ligger mig særlig på hjerte, er sikkerheden i Europa.
Firstly, on behalf of the Economic and Monetary Com mittee, may I say that we are satisfied with the results achieved in the accession negotiations.
Disse staters deltagelse i den fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik øger sikkerheden i hele Europa.
We think that what has now been agreed is something which can be accepted by both sides.
Der er for mig ingen tvivl om, at Norge som medlem af EU vil arbejde aktivt på at styrke det europæiske samar bejde på alle områder.
It is also our view that the Norwegian economy is one of the best in Europe, and Norway's joining the European Union will in particular bring about a strengthening of the Union within the field of industrial and economic cooperation.
Det gælder ikke kun på det økonomiske, monetære og handelsmæssige område, men også på områder som miljø- og naturbeskyttelse og den fælles arbejdsmarkeds- og socialpolitik.
Additionally, we know that over recent years Norway has been pursuing a monetary and foreign exchange policy which has meant that Norway's economy is compatible with the requirements of participation in the Economic and Monetary Union. I think this is very welcome.
Jeg vil ved denne lejlighed fremhæve Norges ofte udtalte ønske om en styrkelse af den fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik, ikke mindst den forsvarsmæssige dimension.
And I think it strongly underlines how important it is - as the Danish Liberals advocate - that the derogations which Denmark got through a referendum last year must definitely be lifted.
Norge bidrager faktisk allerede til den som associeret medlem af Den Vesteuropæiske Union.
Denmark must, like the four new applicant countries, be a full Member.
Jeg tror, at vi her i dette Parlament kan enes om at hilse Norges store engagement på netop dette område velkommen.
The Danish Liberal Party is pleased that Austria, Sweden, Finland and Norway are joining on the basis of the Maastricht Treaty and without reservation.
Forud for denne afgørelse har vi længe drøftet her i Parlamentet, om vi først burde tilstræbe uddybelse og så først udvidelse.
This is a wise move, and the only sensible one in the future, and Denmark too must participate as a full Member.
De har den opfattelse, at vi har brug for en Union, der har gennemgået institutionelle reformer, inden vi kan fortsætte udvidelsen.
It is very important that Denmark, together with these countries, make a contribution towards the development of a peace ful, democratic world.
Endelig vil jeg gerne nævne, at Norge i lighed med de øvrige nye medlemslande har tradition for en meget aktiv deltagelse i internationalt samarbejde på en lang række områder, og at de fire lande efter deres indtræden vil medvirke til en yderligere styrkelse af den fælles bistand spolitik og i det hele taget til en styrkelse af EU's rolle udadtil.
It is also significant that this debate should have been in progress for so long without the Council being present.
Sammenfattende vil jeg gerne sige, at den udvidelse af kredsen af EU-lande, som vi nu star over for, utvivlsomt vil styrke Unionens handlekraft såvel indadtil som udadtil.
I draw the attention of colleagues to the fact that today this Parliament is going to hold the most important vote of the legislature in the absence of the Council, and that is a measure of its lack of interest in our work.
Der er politisk vilje i de nye medlemslande til at fremme de politiske målsætninger, som er opstillet i
Those of you who think voting for approval means we will be listened to in the future already have the Council's reply in advance.
Europa-Parlamentet vil efter min mening få disse staters støtte med hensyn til demokratiske reformer, der kan gøre Parlamentets og Unionens arbejde mere gennemskueligt og borgernært.
So any talk of having to make internal changes before they join in, our considered opinion is pure rubbish.
Jeg sætter stor pris på de fire nye kandidaters tiltrædelse, og jeg håber og anmoder om, at denne høje forsamling stemmer for tiltrædelsesansøgningerne.
Danish Liberal Party therefore bids the four applicant countries heartily welcome.
Men til trods for det har forhandlingerne været yderst vanskelige.
We need to have them on board, and they need to be on board.
De har faktisk varet i fem år, hvorunder vi har måttet lære helt nye begreber, som mål nr. 6 og idéen om »accelerede samhørighedsfisk«, der vil stå prentet i mit hjerte for evigt!
They are to be full Members, as the Danish Liberals also believe Denmark should be, i.e. without the derogations brought in last year.
Titley (PSE), ordfører. - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil ved denne lejlighed gerne lade mig inspirere af William Shakespeare, der i sit drama Julius Caesar siger, at:
Brok (PPE), deputy rapporteur for the Committee on Social Affairs, Employment and the Working Environment. - (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the Committee on Social Affairs, Employment and the Working Environment I would like to say a few words on the subject of Austria.
Mange af Finlands problemer skyldes naturligvis én enkelt kendsgerning - landets meget lave befolknings tæthed, som med kun 15 pr. km2og helt ned til 5 i det nordøstlige Finland erden laveste i Europa.
On the basis of the Republic of Austria's socio-political development we expect its accession to strengthen the socio-political component of the Union, as suggested by the outcome of the negotiations.
Det medfører komplikationer for landbruget, for Finlands landbrugspolitik er en del af dets sikkerhedspolitik og miljøpolitik, derfor de meget betydelige subsidier til landbruget i Finland.
These negotiations brought results in an area of special importance to jobs and we can expect further improvement here; it is a question of giving security to the SMEs, which have produced most extra jobs in the Union, and in Austria too.
»I menneskenes liv er flod og ebbe; benyttes floden, leder det til lykke; forsømmes den, står hele livets fart på grund i usselhed. - Nu flyder vi på højvand, og vi må benytte strømmen, mens den er med; hvis ikke, taber vi vor hele vinding«.
Van Dijk (V), draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on Transport and Tourism. - (NL) Mr President, as draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on Transport and Tourism for the four countries I would first of all say that the three Scandinavian countries did not present too many serious problems.
Jeg kan ikke forestille mig noget mere passende citat til at opsummere det historiske øjeblik her til formiddag.
I would also like to take this opportunity to express my admiration for Foreign Minister Alios Mock, a man who has worked with great purpose and commitment to ensure that Austria could reach this point.
Der har været en lang række andre problemer: statens alkoholmonopol, toldafgifter, Ålandsøerne, handelen med de baltiske stater.
The Committee on Social Affairs, Employment and the Working Environment therefore supports the accession of Austria without reservations.
Jeg vil gerne benytte lejligheden til i særdeleshed at takke medlemmerne af arbejdsgruppen om udvidelse under hr. Steffen Smidt for deres samarbejdsvilje over for Parlamentet. Deres dør har altid stået åben.
Unlike Mr Bourlanges, we are aware that postponing our assent today would not mean postponing it for a few weeks or months, but in actual fact postponing it for years, because we would lose our momentum.
Jeg mener, at afslutningen af disse forhandlinger repræsenterer en balance mellem de forskellige interesser.
That is why we cannot accept referral back of the proposal today.
For vi risikerer at kaste Den Europæiske Union ud i en ny periode med ustabilitet, netop hvor vi er ved at komme os over det kaos, der ledsagede ratifikationen af Maastricht.
Austria put up a hard fight in its negotiations with the Union and the result, which fortunately is presented not just to us but also to the people of Austria for their opinion on whether it is adequate, the result should be that after the year 2002 in the Union exhaust from freight transport should drop by 60%, at least for all materials except CO2, which is a separate issue.
I et sådant kaos vil der ikke være nogen mulighed for at drøfte reformer af institutionerne eller for at udvikle det økonomiske samarbejde, vi så desperat trænger til for at kunne bekæmpe arbejdsløshedens svøbe eller for at udvikle de nye rammer for sikkerheden i Europa, der er så afgørende nødvendige.
We are also aware that this Parliament's best friends, those who called for more rights for this Parliament in Maastricht, such as Chancellor Kohl, have given Parliament clear indications in relation to the preparations for the 1996 intergovernmental conference.
Faktisk vil al vor energi gå til at forsøge at holde den europæiske skude flydende.
That is why we should not reject this proposal but should endeavour to widen and deepen the Union together with our friends.
Jeg håber, man vil prioritere det højt. Bortset derfra nærer jeg imidlertid ingen betænkelighed ved at anbefale Parlamentet, at vi i aften stemmer ja til Finlands ansøgning.
There is a staged plan under which decisions on keeping the eco point system must first of all be taken unanimously, while in the final stage this is all to be based on a study by the Commission, after which the Council decides by a normal qualified majority on how the 60% reduction is to be implemented in the Union.
