Lamassoure, formand for Reidet. — (FR) Det ændrede forslag til CITES-forordningen har til formål at styrke de instrumenter, som Unionen og medlemsstaterne råder over til sikring af beskyttelsen af plante- og dyreliv i henhold til deres interna tionale forpligtelser.
Should the Council decide to move on to the third phase of EMU in 1997, is it aware of or has it evaluated the consequences this would have for the convergence of the economies of those Member States which cannot join the EMU by that date?
Myndighederne i Beograd har taget det første skridt ved at acceptere en embargo mod de bosniske serbere og støtte fredsplanen.
Sandbæk (EDN). ­ (DA) I do not think the President­in­Office has answered the question, and I cannot see why it should be a difficult one to answer.
Nu beder vi dem om mere endnu, nemlig at anerkende Bosnien-Herzegovina og Kroatien, så vi kan finde frem til en politisk løsning på alle det tidligere Jugoslaviens problemer.
Before the Maastricht Treaty was adopted, when a date was set for those countries which could meet the criteria to move to Economic and Monetary Union, surely some thought must have been given to what the economic consequences would be for those countries which did not meet them, whether there would in fact be an Α­group and a B­group, and how the economies would then develop.
Så længe det ikke er tilfældet, kan vi ikke ophæve sanktionerne.
I should really like the President­in­Office to answer the question that was asked.
Det franske formandskab har gennemført flere tekniske høringer for at få defineret, hvilken retning vort arbejde skal gå i, dels med udgangspunkt i det ændrede forslag til CITES-forordningen, dels på grund af Rådets ønske om at genoptage arbejdet med denne sag.
Lamassoure, President-in-Office of the Council. — (FR) Mr Javier Areitio Toledo has asked a very wide­ranging question about the conditions for moving on to the third phase of economic and monetary union and the possible consequences this would have for countries unwilling or unable to join the monetary union at that time.
Høringerne har givet opmuntrende resultater, og vi kan derfor håbe på en snarlig genoptagelse af arbejdet i Rådet på grundlag af en mindre kompleks tekst.
I will merely say that the French presidency is anxious to apply the Maastricht Treaty rigorous­ly, precisely and effectively during the first half of 1995, in the field of monetary union as in other fields.
Vedrørende forlængelserne af den niende konference for parterne til CITES-konventionen behandles gennemførelsen heraf i Fællesskabet i en rapport, der er udarbejdet af konventionens sekretariat.
During this half­year we are going to be required to decide at Council level on some of the practical arrangements for moving forward to monetary union, such as the design of the currency symbols, notes and coins.
Formandskabet har suppleret oplysningerne i rapporten i forbindelse med drøftelsen af dette punkt i sit offentlige indlæg og har tydeligt givet udtryk for, at Unionen har til hensigt at afhjælpe visse problemer, blandt andet ved en styrkelse af kontrollen ved de ydre grænser.
Again, during this same period, we shall have to continue monitoring changes in budget deficits and public indebtedness and the application of the broad economic policy guidelines.
Posselt (PPE). — (DE) Jeg går helhjertet ind for sanktionerne mod rest-Jugoslavien.
Lamassoure. — (FR) I can tell the honourable Member what I know.
Det drejer sig om de 90% af befolkningen i Kosovo, dvs. de derboende albanere, som lider både under embargoen og under den serbiske besættelse.
Will there be eight countries in that position in 1997, and if so which?
Vi har taget hr. Juppés forslag til efterret ning om at indkalde til en såkaldt Balkan-konference med deltagelse af hr. Milosevic.
Will there be four countries in 1999, or five or six or twelve?
Van Putten (PSE). — (NL) Jeg takker hr. Lamassoure for hans i sig selv meget tydelige svar; men således som det sømmer sig for en parlamentariker, er vi naturligvis aldrig 1007c tilfredse.
All I can say today is that the Council's intention is to make every effort to ensure that the Maastricht Treaty is applied in full to monetary matters, that the timetable for meetings is adhered to, that criteria are respected, and that as many Member States as possible are able to move on to the third phase of the union as soon as possible.
Jeg er dog glad for, at han siger, at der er gjort fremskridt, det afventer vi således med stor interesse.
When that time comes we shall be able to see which States are not in that position and what steps need to be taken to enable us to preserve the economic unity of the union.
Desuden vil jeg i tilknytning til mit spørgsmål komme med en kort bemærkning til forretningsordenen, hr. formand. Vi har i dag en ringe mødedeltagelse her i salen, og efter min mening skyldes det, at der i henhold til den nye forretningsorden kun kan stilles ét tillægsspørgsmål.
As regards progress towards 1997, and the consequences not only for countries which will not be able to join the monetary union but also for those that will, this will have to be clarified when we move on to the third phase.
Når formanden for Rådet gør sig den ulejlighed at sidde her hele aftenen, burde vi efter min mening udvise en større præsens og også bringe dette emne til en positiv afslutning.
It is clear that we share a common desire to bring about monetary union as quickly as possible, but also that we will have to make allowance for the respective situations of States who will be among the frontrun­ners and States which will need a few more years' preparation.
Nu går der rygter om, at dette princip er forsvundet i Rådets og Kommissionens nye forslag.
Areitio Toledo (PPE). — (ES) I am grateful for the partial reply to the question I tabled.
Kan Rådet bekræfte eller, hvad vi naturligvis håber, afkræfte dette? For De kan regne med, at Parlamentet vil have det optaget igen under andenbehandlingen.
In fact, the major concern behind my question relates to what will happen if there are two different areas of monetary integration within the Union, and what effect this will have on the process of convergence of the economies of those states which do not join the third phase of Economic and Monetary Union.
Lamassoure. — (FR) Hr. parlamentsmedlem, jeg vil først gerne takke Dem for anden del af Deres indlæg, som jeg på Rådets vegne vil tilslutte mig. Rådet deler fuldt ud Deres bekymring for det albanske samfund i Kosovo.
Pérez Royo (PSE). — (£5) Mr President­in­Office, as you know, there is what we might term a 'current of opinion' tending towards favouring an acceleration of the measures to be taken to ensure that Economic and Monetary Union is achieved in 1997 between the countries currently making up the mark zone — namely Germany and the Benelux countries, plus France and a few other countries.
Det, den franske udenrigsminister har foreslået på vegne af formand skabet, er, at man søger at løse problemerne i det tidligere Jugoslavien i to faser.
This is despite the fact that the convergence criteria, or at least some of" them, such as that relating to the public debt, for example, have to be diluted and interpreted very liberally.
I første fase skal der nås frem til en politisk aftale om Bosnien-Herzegovinas og Kroatiens status ved, at de to stater gensidigt anerkender hinanden, og ved at de anerkender rettighederne for de mindretal og forskellige samfund, som de to stater består af.
I believe that this is an aspect which calls for analysis and which should be examined in greater detail as soon as possible, particularly if 1997 is being touted as the most desirable date for progression to the third phase of monetary union.
Lamassoure. — (FR) Jeg kan ikke på nogen måde forpligte Rådet på dette præcise punkt.
My actual question is as follows: Do you agree with this line of thinking?
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 3 af Jackson (H-0071/95): Om: Sagen mod Ken Saro-Wiwa i Nigeria
Lamassoure. — (FR) The reply to that question is a categorical no. The Maastricht Treaty has laid down an objective.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 2 af van Putten (H-0052/95):
President. ­ Question No 10 by Richard Howitt (H­0114/95)
Om: Fastlæggelse af Rådets fælles holdning vedrørende CITES
Subject: Cooperation between customs services in Mem­ber States
Lamassoure, formand for Rådet. — (FR) Den Europæiske Union har i høj grad været opmærksom på Ken Saro-Wiwas tilfælde, siden han blev arresteret i maj 1994. dvs. for næsten et år siden.
Lamassoure. — (FR) The honourable Member is quite right. I recall that the problem was clearly foreseen by the authors of the Maastricht Treaty.
Hvordan går det helt præcis med fastlæggelsen af den fælles holdning vedrørende CITES (KOM(93)0599) ('), hvor længe vil afslutningen af dette arbejde endnu vare, prioriteres fastlæggelsen af denne fælles holdning højt af det kommende franske formandskab, og hvilke aktiviteter vil Rådet og Kommissionen gennemføre som følge af diskussionerne om dette spørgsmål på CITES-parternes
For example, States which are not among the first to join the monetary union will remain subject to the provisions of Community law regarding coordination of economic policies — I am referring here to Articles 102, 103 and 103a(l) of the Treaty, all of which relate to multilateral surveillance ­and to the procedure for monitoring excessive budget deficits laid down in Article 104c.
Saro-Wiwa er forfatter og står i spidsen for Mozop, der er en støttebevægelse for Ógoni-folket. Han er arresteret for at have
The likely situation is that in 1997 or 1999 the first half­dozen States, or seven, or eight, will be able to join the monetary union.
Unionen var repræsenteret ved begge disse møder, idet både en tjenestemand fra Kommissionens delegation samt en repræsentant fra den franske ambassade var til stede. Sagen er udskudt til den 21. februar.
Does the Council recognize that the safety and security of European citizens within the Single Market is dependent on high standards of vigilance at external borders?
Lamassoure. — (FR) Jeg vil gerne gentage, at vi har taget alle de nødvendige foranstaltninger over for de nigerianske myndigheder og gjort, hvad vi kunne i et tilfælde af denne slags.
Will the Council consider any other measures, including increasing exchanges between customs authorities, in order to raise current standards?
Vi overvåger Saro-Wiwas proces og skæbne med den største opmærksomhed.
end of this presidency, in accordance with the wishes expressed at Essen by the European Council.
Rådet og Kommissionen har taget, vil vi naturligvis være lydhøre over for Parlamentets forslag.
So we fully share the concerns voiced by the honourable Member.
Formanden. — Da spørgeren ikke er til stede, bortfalder spørgsmål nr. 4.
Question No 11 has been withdrawn by the author.
Spørgsmål nr. 5 er ændret til en skriftlig forespørgsel.
Question No 12 by Carlos Robles Piquer (H-0046/95) Subject: The views of Professor Ralf Dahrendorf
Spørgsmål nr. 6 af Klironomos (H-0072/95): Om: Forfølgelse af tyrkiske intellektuelle
Lamassoure, President-in-Office of the Council. — (FR) I can assure Mr Howitt that the Council entirely shares his interest in seeing closer cooperation between the customs services of the Member States.
Den Europæiske Union vil fortsat nøje følge udviklingen i Saro-Wiwas situation.
In an article published recently (inter alia in El Pais, Madrid, on Thursday 15 December 1994). Professor Ralf Dahrendorf.
Dette skal også ses i lyset af, at menneskerettighederne i den halvvejs gennemførte revision af Lomé-konventionen, som Unionen er i færd med, omtales som, og jeg citerer, »et nødvendigt element«.
'The European institutions, including the so-called Parliament, are unconvincing and even an insult to democracy.
Det betyder, at manglende overholdelse af menneskerettighederne kan medføre fuldstændig eller delvis ophævelse af konventionen.
Whenever Europe takes up an issue, it moves out of the realm of democratic scrutiny and accountability.'
Den sidste tid er krænkelsen af menneskerettighederne blevet værre i Tyrkiet.
As one of the institutions referred to, does the Council consider itself an insult to democracy'?
Et bevis herpå er den forestående retssag mod den kurdiske forfatter Jasar Kemal for hans erklæringer i den internationale presse.
If not, is it prepared to state in public the reasons why it disagrees with the former Commissioner?
Lamassoure, formand for Rådet. — (FR) Her til formiddag har vi haft en lang. interessant forhandling om forholdet mellem Den Europæiske Union og Tyrkiet.
The second will be aconvention on the use of computer technology in customs matters, referred to as the 'SID Convention' — SID standing for Système d'Information Douanier or Customs Information System.
Jackson (PPE). — (EN) Jeg vil gerne sige formanden tak for dette meget medfølende svar: det er opmuntrende at se, at Den Europæiske Union er repræsenteret ved disse begivenheder i Nigeria.
Howitt (PSE). — Whilst I am grateful for that answer, frankly it does not go far enough. Lapses within customs authorities of Member States severely undermine the fight against drugs.
Jeg vil gerne spørge ham, om han er i besiddelse af nye oplysninger, som kan bekræfte forlydender, som jeg har hørt om, at der nu er nogle andre, der har tilstået den forbrydelse, som hr. Saro-Wiwa faktisk blev anklaget for. og om han har kommentarer til de pressemeddelelser, som Nigerias ambassade i Bruxelles stadig udsender, og hvori der står, at hr. Saro-Wiwa er en forbryder og at retssagen vil blive gennemført med stor strenghed.
One example from the Netherlands: a courier at Schipol Airport was intercepted with two kilos of cocaine and had the goods seized but was turned away rather than being arrested or prosecuted: or an example from Belgium where information was given by British customs officials about high-risk vessels, but no action was taken to search the vessels concerned; or the Greek customs official who told customs officials in Essex about drugs 'it is given rather a low priority compared to cars, etc. as it does not bring in any revenue to the country'.
Jeg ville også gerne bede ham om endnu en gang offentligt at understrege, at Den Europæiske Union lægger stor vægt pa forbindelsen mellem menneskerettighederne og bistanden og konstant vil holde sig orienteret om dette forhold i Nigerias tilfælde, hvor man tilsyneladende, hvis denne sag kan regnes som et eksempel, i vid udstrækning ser bort fra menneskerettighederne. tighederne.
Does not the Council agree that this concentration on fiscal matters over and above the priority given to the fight against drugs is a scandal, and will it understand, having implemented the single market and wishing it to be effective, that the single market is only as strong as its weakest link, and that weakest link is too weak as it stands today?
Jeg vil blot erindre om, at Unionen ved enhver lejlighed giver udtryk for sin anerkendelse af Tyrkiets territoriale integritet, men samtidig har den aldrig undladt at gøre opmærksom på sin bekymring over menneskerettighedssituationen i dette land.
All I shall say to Mr Robles Piquer is that, of course, neither the Council nor any of the Member States shares the views expressed by Mr Dahrendorf regarding the European institutions, including the European Parliament, in an article published in the newspaper El Pais on 15 December last year.
Der findes ganske vist terrorisme i Tyrkiet, og det er forståeligt, at en stat ønsker at forsvare sig mod terrorisme, men det skal ske samtidig med. at menneskerettighederne i videst muligt omfang overholdes.
We believe that the European institutions still allow room for improvement, but that as of now they represent a model of democratic integration by fifteen Slates, whose ambition it is to form a political union and to equip that union wilh institutions which will be original in that there is no historical precedent for them.
Jeg nævnte ligeledes i formiddags, at Tyrkiets adfærd på dette område skal være i overensstemmelse med de europæiske normer, og jeg nævnte også Europa-Parlamentets rolle i forbindelse med gennemførelsen af toldunionen med Tyrkiet.
Those institutions, as I say. allow room for improvement — so much so that we have arranged to review our treaties in 1996 — but they certainly do not deserve the peremptory and hasty judgement delivered by Mr Dahrendorf in his article.
Lamassoure. — (FR) Vedrørende det første punkt vil jeg sige. at det ikke erop til en administration eller en regering at afgøre, om en anklaget er skyldig.
Robles Piquer (PPE). — (ES) The only thing I would like to ask him in addition is whether he does not think it would be useful for the reply which he has just made to be given the widest possible publicity and not be limited to the strict confines of'this debaie, given that Mr Dahrendorf' is not just any commentator, but someone for whose intellectual powers he had great respect.
Det er domstolenes opgave, og disse domstole skal fungere i overensstemmelse med alle en retsstats principper, hvor forsvaret skal have alle de rettigheder, som det på lovlig vis kan gøre brug af ud fra de demokratiske principper.
I feel that it is truly aberrant that Mr Dahrendorf could have formulated such an opinion, in which he considers the institutions of the European Union to be an insult to democracy.
Nogle medlemsstater, blandt andet Frankrig, har direkte over for de tyrkiske myndigheder givet udtryk for deres bekymring over processen mod forfatteren Yashar Kemal, og vi følger denne sags afvikling meget nøje.
Lamassoure. — (FR) In the first part of my answer I referred to the current projects for dealing with the problem in the medium term.
Sagen er endnu en grund til at anmode om en hurtig revision af de gældende tekster i den tyrkiske forfatning og lovgivning med henblik på at forbedre den praktiske gennemførelse af befolkningens rettigheder i dette land.
In the shorter term, and in answer to Mr Howitt's supplementary, I can say (hat the increase in drug trafficking is of course a matter of great concern to the Council, and that the Council adopted a programme of joint surveillance of the air and sea traffic for 1994 and 1995.
Den Europæiske Union bør udvise den største opmærksomhed på dette område.
It has also adopted a strategic plan for combating customs fraud in the internal market, and this plan too includes action to combat drugs.
Vedrørende det andet punkt vil jeg gerne bekræfte, at Unionen repræsenteret ved formandskabet og Kommissionens lokale delegation fortsat vil overvåge sagen.
Finally, the Council believes that cooperation with third countries will play an important part in combating drug trafficking.
Når vi i Lomé-konventionen har ønsket at medtage en »menneskerettighedsklausul«. som kan sammenlignes med den. der er omfattet af aftalerne med Central- og Østeuropa eller middelhavslandene, er det i forsøget på at finde en positiv løsning på problemer som Saro-Wiwas og dermed for at forhindre, at noget sådant gentager sig i lande som Nigeria.
It was this that prompted the adoption, on 8 September last year, of the Berlin declaration on greater cooperation in the struggle against drug-related crime and. more generally, on organized crime in Europe.
Andrews (RDE). — (EN) Vil Rådets formand ikke anerkende, at en sådan sag. som den han omtaler, underet militærdiktatur, ikke har noget med demokrati og frihed at gøre. når det gælder
I would add that we are now in the process of finalizing the convention which will provide the legal basis for the Europol agency, whose principal tasks will include (he fight against drugs.
Klironomos (PSE). — (EL) Hr. formand, ifølge Den Tyrkiske Menneskerettighedsunion er over 500 tyrkiske intellektuelle siden november 1994 blevet retsforfulgt på grund af deres overbevisning.
Lamassoure. — (FR) I shall be very glad to do so. and I am bound to say that the author of the comments we are criticizing today would certainly not have written them if he had been present, for example, at today's plenary silting of the European Parliament, or at the voting sitting which will lake place tomorrow.
Selveste Jasar Kemal stilles i en alder af 72 år
The debates conducted here have been important

debates of excellent quality on such serious and varied matters as the future of the European Economic Area, the future of relations with Turkey and Cyprus, floods, and human rights, which have been referred to by several speakers this evening.
Som Rådets formand ved, afholder Udvalget om Udvikling og Samarbejde sammen med Udvalget om Udenrigs- og Sikkerhedsanliggender i næste måned en høring om spørgsmålet om landminer, som øjensynlig er blevet det nye masseødelæggelsesvåben blandt de fattigste af de fattige i Afrika og andre lande.
Let it be understood that what the British Government is engaged in is a desperate battle within the British Conservative Party in order to determine who wins and who loses in the debate over Europe, and the President-in-Office should not allow this to affect his judgment.
Lamassoure. — (FR) Hr. parlamentsmedlem, jeg vil gerne komme med to yderligere kommentarer til Deres tillægsspørgsmål. Landminer er ganske rigtigt er et særdeles frygtindgydende, særdeles ondsindet våben, som for øvrigt har forårsaget mange civile ofre i mange lande i verden i de seneste år.
Provan (PPE). — I wish to point out that the question might have been slightly misleading in indicating that Professor Dahrendorf was an English Commissioner when in fact he was not.
Lamassoure. — (FR) Hr. parlamentsmedlem, det tror jeg, det håber jeg, og vi gør, hvad vi kan, for at det bliver sådan.
President. - Question No 13 by Hugh Kerr (H-0063/95) Subject: UK Social Policy
Det franske formandskab sender en ekspert til mødet i Udvalget om Udvikling og Samarbejde, som De nævnte for lidt siden, og håber, at det er muligt her i første halvdel af 1995 at gøre fremskridt retning af at få forbudt brug af disse miner og bekæmpe denne brug.
Does the French presidency have any plans to deal with the continual delay and resistance by the British Government to the development of the social dimension of the Union: in particular their opposition to parental leave and the posting of workers Directive?
Tyrkiet er et land, hvor man stadig kan blive retsforfulgt og idømt hårde fængselsstraffe for at have afvigende meninger.
I do not know whether I myself would have signed the Maastricht Treaty in its existing form, especially in the light of its social content.
Det er hændt for medlemmer af den tyrkiske nationalforsamling, der nu er i fængsel efter domfældelse, og på lignende måde er Yashar Kemal blevet fremstillet for en tyrkisk ret.
The fact is that we still have to apply the Treaty, and I can tell you that if it turns out that some of the texts relating to the Union's social policy cannot be adopted by fifteen States but can be adopted by fourteen pursuant to the social protocol, then we shall of course resort to the fourteen-State procedure.
Denne situation er uacceptabel, og vi skal udvirke, at de tyrkiske myndigheder gennemfører de nødvendige reformer for, at dette land kan kaldes en retsstat med ytringsfrihed og et uafhængigt retsvæsen i overensstemmelse med den europæiske model.
Subsequently, of course, we shall have to draw the appropriate conclusions from this application of" the Maastricht Treaty on the occasion of the 1996 conference. ence.
Formanden. — Da spørgeren ikke er til stede, bortfalder spørgsmål nr. 7.
On this last topic, how will the presidency deal with the fact that one Member State is holding up social progress?
