FORSÆDE: David W. MARTIN Næstformand henvist spørgsmålet om tobaksrygning i Parlamentet til afgørelse i Kvæstorkollegiet sammen med gennemførelsen af de to forslag, som Parlamentet har vedtaget med henblik på indførelse af et røgfrit miljø.
Roth-Behrendt (PSE). — (DE) I congratulate you on your — albeit brief — attempt at the Climate Conference in Berlin to point out that we in Europe and throughout the world need to save energy.
(Mødet åbnet kl. 9.10)
I thank you for this short symbolic gesture.
(Lyset i mødesalen virkede ikke)
It is very fitting that it should happen this week.
Jeg har talt med Kvæstorkollegiet, som har oplyst mig, at det ikke har fået spørgsmålet forelagt.
Ford (PSE). — Mr President, I was really following up the point made by Mrs Roth-Behrendt.
Formanden. — Parlamentets formand giver naturligvis aldrig undvigende svar; spørgsmålet vil blive henvist til Kvæstorkollegiet. legiet.
Is it the fact that we have not paid the bill, or is this a new environmentally sound approach to managing our work? Could the Conference of Presidents consider doing it again in future?
Morris (PSE). — (EN) Hr. formand, som De vil erindre, har jeg anmodet formanden om hurtigst muligt at gribe ind over for den planlagte henrettelse i Georgia af den britiske statsborger og EU-borger Nicholas Ingram.
Morris (PSE). — Mr President, you will recall that I asked the President to treat with real urgency the proposed execution in Georgia of a Mr Ingram, a United Kingdom and EU citizen.
Er der blev rettet henvendelse til præsident Clinton eller til fængselsinspektøren, siden jeg fremsatte min anmodning i går?
Has any approach been made to President Clinton or the Governor of the prison since I made my request yesterday?
Roth-Behrendt (PSE). - (DE) Jeg gratulerer Dem med Deres — om end kun korte — forsøg på under klimakonferencen i Berlin her at gøre opmærksom på, at vi i Europa og i verden er nødt til at spare på energien. Jeg takker dem for dette korte symbolske tegn.
Green (PSE). — Mr President, despite the rather humorous circumstances in which we are meeting, I want to make a very serious point.
Formanden. — Jeg har fået at vide, at Parlamentets formand foranledigede en skrivelse udfærdiget i går; den vil blive fremsendt til præsident Clinton i dag.
President. — I am informed that the President arranged for a letter to be written yesterday and it will be despatched today to President Clinton.
Fabre-Aubrespy (EDN). — (FR) Hr. formand, jeg kunne ikke få ordet i går, hvilket jeg ellers havde ønsket.
Fabre-Aubrespy (EDN). — (FR) Mr President, I was unable to speak yesterday as I had intended.
Jeg ville blot stille et spørgsmål vedrørende mødet mellem en delegation fra Europarådets Parlamentariske Forsamling og en delegation fra Europa-Parlamentet.
I simply wanted to ask you about the meeting of the interparliamentary delegations of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe and our own European Parliament.
Mødet finder sted torsdag den 6. april, det vil sige i overmorgen.
This meeting is to take place on Thursday 6 April, in other words the day after tomorrow.
Præsidiet har udpeget en delegation bestående af fire ud af seks grupper.
A delegation has been nominated by our Bureau, which means that four groups out of six will be represented.
Green (PSE). — (EN) Hr. formand, trods de ret muntre omstændigheder, hvorunder dette møde holdes, vil jeg gerne rejse et meget alvorligt spørgsmål.
As you will know — and as my colleagues in the Conference of Presidents know — all last week we struggled with the Council to get it to answer this oral question.
Jeg beklager derfor, hvis det går ud over stemningen, men det er nødvendigt.
I understand that even now it is saying that it is not going to respond.
På dagsordenen for dette møde finder vi de institutionelle spørgsmål vedrørende regeringskonferencen, projektet om en europæisk forfatning, følgerne af udvidelsen og samarbejdet mellem Parlamentets og Europarådets Parlamentariske For samlings udvalg.
In fact, I have a letter from the President-in-Office where he makes it clear that although he will not respond to the oral question from Mr Casini, he is prepared to take questions in Question Time on some small aspects of this particular issue.
Jeg vil gerne spørge om, hvorfor delegationens sammensætning ikke er blevet henvist til Formandskonferencen i overens stemmelse med forretningsordenens artikel 24, stk. 3, 4 og 6. Hvilket mandat har vor delegation fået, og hvordan kan den udtale sig om så vigtige emner uden at høre Parlamentet, da vi jo skal beskæftige os med disse spørgsmål.
I should therefore like to ask you why the sending of this delegation was not referred to the Conference of Presidents, pursuant to Rule 24(3), (4) and (6) of our Rules of Procedure, what mandate our delegation has been given, and how it is supposed to express an opinion on such important matters without consulting this House, whose function it is to concern itself with these matters.
Hvis De mener, at Formandskonferencen er kompetent, hvilket jeg tror, vil jeg geme bede Dem om at indkalde til et møde om dette spørgsmål før den 6. april.
If you believe that the Conference of Presidents is the responsible authority here, as I do, I would like you to convene it to consider this matter before 6 April.
Et af punkterne på dagsordenen for mødet i dag er den mundtlige forespørgsel, som hr. Casini har fremsat på vegne af Udvalget om Retlige Anliggender og Borgernes Rettigheder. Som De ved — og som mine kolleger i Formandskonferencen ved — kæmpede vi hele sidste uge med Rådet for at få det til at besvare denne mundtlige forespørgsel.
I make a very serious point here, because whilst we very much welcome and indeed try to encourage the President-in-Office and the Council to come to Parliament as often as possible during this part-session, I made it clear on behalf of the Socialist Group at the beginning of this presidency that we would be watching very carefully, and indeed monitoring, the way in which the Council responded to requests from this Parliament — particularly following the way in which we believed the German presidency had manipulated the agenda as a result of its own domestic elections.
Efter hvad jeg erfarer, er det selv nu ikke indstillet på at give et svar.
We believe that what we have now is a clear demonstration of the same thing happening with the French presidency.
Formanden. — Hr. Fabre-Aubrespy, der er tale om et rutinemøde mellem Præsidierne for Europa-Parlamentet og Europa rådets Parlamentariske Forsamling.
President. — Mr Fabre-Aubrespy, the meeting is a routine one between the two bureaux of the European Parliament and the Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly.
Mandatet vedrørende dette møde udstedes af Formandskonferencen, og da samtlige politiske grupper er repræsenteret heri, får de alle indflydelse på drøftelserne.
The mandate for the meeting will be given by the Conference of Presidents which is a meeting of all the political groups so all the groups will have an input into the discussions.
Men der er under alle omstændigheder blot tale om en række drøftelser.
In any case, it is just a series of discussions.
Der skal ikke træffes beslutninger.
No decisions will be taken.
Jeg vil gerne understrege alvoren i dette, for selvom vi i høj grad bifalder og faktisk prøver at tilskynde Rådet og dets formand til at give møde i Parlamentet så ofte som muligt i denne mødeperiode, gjorde jeg det på Den Socialistiske Gruppes vegne klart i begyndelsen af indeværende formand-
I want to say that we made it clear that we would not wait until June, until the end of the presidency, to moan about it: that we would monitor and expose it as we went through. On behalf of my group, I request and urge the President-in-Office now to help us, when setting the agenda of this Parliament — and last week it was a nightmare because of the difficulties we had with the Council — to respond more positively and more favourably.
Formanden. — Næste punkt på dagsordenen er redegørelse fra Rådet om partnerskabsaftalerne med de nye uafhængige stater og stabilitetspagten.
Lamassoure, President-in-Office of the Council. — (FR) Mr President, it is true that a problem has arisen in connection with this oral question tabled by the European Parliament's Com mittee on Legal Affairs and Citizens' Rights.
I slutningen af mit indlæg vil jeg desuden gøre status over resultaterne af stabilitetskonferencen.
Having said that, I recognized the importance Parliament attaches to this matter.
Jeg vil gerne sige rent ud, at vi understregede, at vi ikke ville vente til juni, til slutningen af formandskabet, med at klage over dette, men at vi ville holde øje med og afsløre det undervejs.
I talked this morning to the chairman of the Legal Affairs Committee, who reported to me on the work his committee has done on this matter.
Vi ved alle, hvor meget de nationale valg betyder, og at det gælder for os alle, at de lægger beslag på os politikeres tid, når de finder sted i vor egen medlemsstat, men de må ikke få lov til at undergrave Den Europæiske Unions arbejde.
I have spoken to you about it, Mr President, and I would have preferred the question not to have been asked because it was out of time.
Det ønsker jeg at gøre helt klart.
I am instructed not to reply to it, but if it is asked in due course I will reply to it.
Warszawa-Pagtens opløsning i 1990 og Sovjetunionens et år senere har betydet, at Europa ikke mere er opdelt i to fjendtlige blokke.
Four years later, we are better able to appreciate that our capacity to build a stable, prosperous Europe depends partly on the choices made in the eastern part of our continent.
De nye uafhængige stater har fået mulighed for at frigøre sig fra et overherredømme og dermed nærme sig de øvrige europæiske stater.
For example, in Russia in December ¡993, in Moldavia in February 1994, in Ukraine twice in 1994. and in Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
Lamassoure, formand for Rådet. — (FR) Hr. formand, der er ganske rigtigt et problem i forbindelse med denne mundtlige forespørgsel, som Udvalget om Retlige Anliggender og Bor gernes Rettigheder har stillet, og jeg er af Rådet blevet pålagt strengt at overholde bestemmelserne vedrørende tidsfristen for, at en forespørgsel til Rådet kan sættes på Parlamentets dagsorden.
Martens (PPE). — (NL) Mr President, we have asked for the floor before Mr Casini because we wish to speak on the previous point.
Jeg forstår godt, at Parlamentet tillægger denne sag så stor betydning.
We agree of course with Mrs Green on the absence of the Council but we want this matter to be debated properly.
I formiddags havde jeg en samtale med Udvalgets formand, der underrettede mig om det arbejde, det har gjort i denne sag.
We agreed at the meeting last Thursday of the Conference of Presidents that questions from Members would also be taken.
Vi talte sammen, hr. formand, og jeg ville have foretrukket, at spørgsmålet ikke var blevet stillet, fordi det ikke overholder fristen.
That agreement was overturned yesterday by a majority vote.
Jeg er blevet pålagt ikke at svare, men hvis forespørgslen opretholdes, svarer jeg.
We accept that but we also want to speak in the present procedural debate and that is why I asked for the floor before Mr Casini.
Her fire år senere kan vi bedre se, at vor evne til at opbygge et stabilt, fremgangsrigt Europa også afhænger af de valg, der træffes i den østlige del af vort kontinent.
To support the economic reforms, we have made use of the TACIS programme and have provided substantial humanitarian aid under the ECHO programme.
Og vi er klar over, at disse lande står over for tre slags problemer: institutionelle problemer i forbindelse med den politiske reform, der endnu ikke er gennemført overalt, problemer med den økonomiske overgang og også for nogles vedkommende problemer med nabostridigheder. Vi hjælper dem med at finde løsninger på disse forskellige problemer.
I can tell you, for example, that in the course of the two years 1993 and 1994 ECU 138 million in humanitarian aid under the ECHO programme was granted to the successor States of the former USSR, together with ECU 204 million of food aid in 1994.
(Bifald)
(Parliament approved the Minutes)
For at støtte de økonomiske reformer har vi indstiftet program met TACIS og også indført væsentlige humanitære hjælpeforanstaltninger under ECHO-programmet.
Finally, we are trying to help to restore stability in those parts of the region where it has been jeopardized, especially in the Caucasus and in Central Asia.
Her kan jeg for eksempel for 1993-1994 nævne, at 138 mio. ECU til humanitær hjælp under ECHO-programmet er gået til staterne i det tidligere Rusland, og dertil kommer 204 mio. ECU i 1994, også til humanitær hjælp.
The natural framework for handling this type of problem is, of course, apart from the UN, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. The European Union is particularly anxious that the OSCE should be able to play its part to the full in that region.
Martens (PPE). — (NL) Hr. formand, vi bad om ordet for hr. Casini for at komme med et indlæg før det foregående punkt.
Wilson (PSE). — Mr President, on a point of order, one of the great international issues of importance this week is fish.
Vi har også noget at sige om det.
Can we have a statement from our Commission?
Naturligvis støtter jeg det. fru Green sagde om Rådets tilstedeværelse, men vi ønsker, at dette anliggende behandles udtømmende.
Is the species of Greenland halibut going to be saved or is it going to be wiped out while we argue?
Vi blev sidste torsdag på Formandskonferencen enige om, at medlemmernes forespørgsler også skulle behandles.
President. — Of course, in the end it is a matter for the House as to whether or not we have a Commission statement on it. but this is not currently foreseen on the agenda and I have no formal request to put it on the agenda. (')
Det accepterer vi. men vi ønsker også at komme med et indlæg i procedureforhandlingen i dag. og derfor havde vi bedt om ordet for hr. Casini.
President. — The next item is the statement by the Council on the partnership agreements with the New Independent States and the Stability Pact.
Endelig søger vi at bidrage til, at stabiliteten kan vende tilbage i de dele af regionerne, hvor denne stabilitet er i fare, navnlig i Kaukasus og Mellemasien.
On this basis, our intention has been to step up our aid to these countries and establish a genuine partnership with them, through what we refer to as a partnership and cooperation agreement.
Ud over FN er det helt naturligt, at denne form for problemer behandles inden for rammerne af OSCE.
We are negotiating agreements of this type with the countries concerned.
Unionen søger navnlig at sikre, at OSCE kan gøre en stor indsats i denne region.
The European Union has already signed agreements of this type with Russia and Ukraine in June 1994, Moldavia in November, Kazakhstan last January, Kyrgyzstan in February and Belarus in March.
Jeg holdt mig nøje til den rækkefølge, hvori navnene fremkom på skærmen, og hr. Casinis navn fremkom ikke.
The Council will seek the assent of Parliament as soon as the legal analysis of the conclusions to be drawn from the opinion handed down by the Court of Justice on the Uruguay Round has been completed.
( Protokollen godkendtes)
Lamassoure, President-in-Office of the Council. — (FR) Mr President.
Med udgangspunkt i ovenstående har vi søgt at styrke vor hjælp til disse lande og sammen med dem skabe et ægte partnerskab inden for rammerne af det, vi kalder en »partnerskabs- og samarbejdsaftale«.
Parliament wanted to hear a declaration by the Council before holding a debate on the situation in the New Independent States.
Vi forhandler sådanne aftaler med de pågældende lande.
In addition, at the end of my speech. I would like to summarize the lessons we can draw from the conference on stability.
Disse aftaler kan sammenlignes med de såkaldte associeringsaftaler, som er indgået med landene i Mellem- og Centraleuropa, dog med den store forskel, at aftalerne med SNG naturligvis ikke åbner mulighed for tiltrædelse af Unionen.
The dissolution of the Warsaw Pact in 1990, followed by that of the Soviet Union a year later, put an end to the division of Europe into two warring camps.
Derimod er de mere vidtrækkende
The opportunity thus arose for
1 ) Modtagne dokumenter — Aktuel og uopsættelig debat (indgivne beslutningsforslag) — Dagsorden for meste møde: se protokollen.
Documents received — Topical aiul urgent debate (motions for resolutions tabled) — Agenda: see Minutes
Wilson (PSE). — (EN) Hr. formand, til forretningsordenen.
Let me say a word about the substance of these partnership agreements.
Et af de væsentlige internationale spørgsmål i denne uge drejer sig om fisk.
These agreements contain a clause, which has now become standard, relating to human rights.
Er det muligt at få en redegørelse fra Kommissionen?
This is the political clause.
Vil arten hellefisk blive reddet, eller vil den blive udryddet, mens vi diskuterer?
On the economic front, we arc trying to facilitate these countries' transition to the market economy, and at the same time encouraging the states in
Lamassoure end de tidligere samarbejdsaftaler, da de omfatter en politisk dialog og en bestemmelse om udenlandske virksomheders etablering der.
Lamassoure question to become integrated into a regional economic system and, more generally, into the international economic system represented by the WTO.
I forbindelse med de blandede udvalg, der har afholdt møder i Bruxelles, har de tre stater i Kaukasus givet udtryk for ønsket om at indgå så omfattende partnerskabsaftaler som muligt, men først skal der naturligvis skabes fred i Kaukasus, og den politiske og økonomiske situation i disse lande skal stabiliseres.
On the occasion of the joint committee meetings in Brussels, the three Caucasian States expressed the desire to negotiate the fullest possible partnership agreements, but first, of course, it is necessary for peace to return to the Caucasus and for the political and economic situation of these states to stabilize.
Rådet vil snarest se på, hvordan disse ansøgninger skal opfølges.
The Council will be examining shortly what action should be taken in the light of their request.
Hr. formand, så vil jeg gerne sige lidt om situationen i Centralog Østeuropa og om de konklusioner, man kan drage af stabilitetspagten.
I must also say a word. Mr President, about the situation in central and eastern Europe and the conclusions to be drawn from the Stability Pact.
Jeg ved, at nogle parlamentsgrupper havde ønsket, at Rådet udtaler sig om dette emne.
I am aware that some groups in Parliament have expressed a wish for the Council to make a statement on this matter.
Jeg har haft lejlighed til at aflægge beretning over for de grupper, der har gjort os den ære at komme til vore høringer; Alain Juppé har ligeledes gjort rede herfor i Parlamentets udenrigsudvalg og under en tidligere mødeperiode.
I had the opportunity to report on it to the groups which were kind enough to give us a hearing; Mr Juppé also did so before your Parliament's Committee on Foreign Affairs, and to a sitting during a previous part-session.
Siden da er den afsluttende konference om pagten blevet afholdt i Paris den 20. og 21. marts. Pagten blev enstemmigt vedtaget.
Since then, the final conference on the Pact has taken place, in Paris on 20 and 21 March, and the Pact was unanimously approved.
De ved sikkert, at den omfatter tre slags dokumenter: en endelig erklæring med principperne i pagten, og så den vigtigste del, nemlig en liste over bilaterale aftaler, som medlemsstaterne i Central- og Østeuropa har accepteret at vedlægge pagten, naboaftaler, der navnlig løser mindretals- og grænseproblemer.
As you know, it comprises three types of document: a final declaration which restates the principles of the Pact: then the most important part, the list of bilateral agreements which the States of central and eastern Europe have agreed to contribute to the Pact — agreements on peaceful coexistence dealing, in particular, with problems of minorities and mutual frontiers.
Der findes mere end hundrede aftaler, hvoraf nogle kun er blevet indgået takket være initiativet med pagten og tidsfristen på den 20. marts.
There are more than a hundred agreements, some of which have only seen the light of day because of the initiative of the Pact and the predetermined cut-off date of 20 March.
For så vidt angår staterne i Mellemasien — ud over Kasakhstan og Kirgisistan, der allerede har underskrevet en partnerskabsaftale — står vi stadig over for spørgsmålet om overholdelse af menneskerettighederne.
As regards the central Asian states, apart from Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, with which a partnership agreement has already been signed, the question of respect for human rights remains unanswered.
Rådet vil senere træffe afgørelse her om og naturligvis tage størst muligt hensyn til Parlamentets udtalelse, når det skal træffe beslutning om eventuelt at tage indledende kontakter med henblik på forhandling af partner skabsaftaler.
The Council will have to reach a decision when the time comes, and of course it will take very careful heed of Parliament's opinion when deciding whether it is appropriate to establish exploratory contacts with a view to negotiating partnership agreements.
Med hensyn til Tadsjikistan betyder den manglende politiske løsning på konflikten, at vi på nuværende tidspunkt ikke kan institutionalisere vort forhold til dette land.
In the case of Tajikistan, the absence of a political settlement to the conflict means that we cannot, at this stage, formalize our relations with that country.
Endelig den tredje slags dokument, bilaget, der omfatter listen over projekter, som skal ledsage pagten og lette undertegningen af aftaler, konkrete projekter finansieret af Unionen under PHARE-programmet med ind til 70 mio. ECU.
Finally, there is a third type of document: the annex, which comprises the list of projects intended to accompany the Pact and facilitate the signature of agreements, specific projects financed by the European Union through the PHARE pro gramme to the extent of ECU 70 million.
Jeg vil gerne understrege, at pagten har lettet forhandlingerne mellem Polen og Letland, Letland og Hviderusland og Rusland og de tre baltiske stater.
I should emphasize that the Pact will facilitate, in particular, negotiations between Poland and Lithuania, between Lithuania and Belarus and between Russia and the three Baltic States.
Takket være pagten har der ligeledes kunnet underskrives en aftale mellem Ungarn og Slovakiet, som de involverede parter selv kalder historisk; denne vigtige aftale blev underskrevet i Paris i Statsministeriet den 19. marts.
It will also have been responsible for the signature of an agreement between Hungary and Slovakia which the parties concerned have themselves described as historic: this fundamental treaty was signed at the Hotel Matignon in Paris on 19 March.
