Det er et rigtigt ændringsforslag. Men hvis dette ændringsforslag ville blive vedtaget, er jeg bange for, at en række kolleger, som ellers ville stemme for sprogbeslutningsforslaget, ville trække sig tilbage.
It has been pointed out that in order to keep in touch with our citizens, it is important that we use all the languages; and this is precisely the EU's problem, namely that there is too great a distance between the institutions and the people.
Derfor har Den Liberale Gruppe taget ændringsforslaget tilbage.
So a resounding yes to our maintaining all eleven languages as official languages and as working languages.
Det samme gælder naturligvis for de nederlandske, portugisiske, belgiske, danske, svenske og finske kolleger.
Having said that, I would like to express my satisfaction that the French timetable for the coming six months includes an item on the introduction of the teaching of two foreign languages in the EU countries.
Og det ville være sørgeligt, hvis det blev et krav, at man for at blive valgt til Europa-Parlamentet skulle have et indgående kendskab til fransk eller engelsk! Så ville der ikke kun være tale om national, men også social diskrimination. Og vi bekæmper alle diskriminationspolitikker.
We have no difficulties with this in the minority language areas of Europe.
Alle vore regeringer har brug for et så tydeligt signal som muligt fra os.
In conclusion, Mr President, I should like to thank those of my colleagues whose languages are not under threat, but who have shown solidarity with us.
Alle sprog er lige, flertalssprog findes ikke; for hvilket sprog tales af et flertal af de 360 millioner europæiske borgere? Enhver borger skal kunne være kandidat til Europa-
Hurtig (GUE/NGL). — (SV) Mr President, during our first few weeks we in the minority language groups have heard repeated
De Coene (PSE). — (NL) Hr. formand, på et tidspunkt, hvor nye medlemsstater tiltræder, og på et tidspunkt, hvor enhver er klar over, at Europa skal bringes tættere på menneskene, taler hr. Lamassoure om begrænsningen til en række arbejdssprog.
President. — The next item is the report (A4-0089/94) by Mi Verde i Aldea, on behalf of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Citizens' Rights, on the eleventh annual report from the Commission to the European Parliament (COM(94)0500 -C4-0011/94) on monitoring the application of Community law (1993).
Hautala (V). — (Fl) Hr. formand, mit eget sprog, finsk er, forøvrigt det eneste ikke-indoeuropæiske sprog blandt Den Europæiske Unions elleve officielle sprog.
Verde i Aldea (PSE), rapporteur. — (ES) Mr President, some people might have the impression that Parliament's report on the Commission's communication on the application of Community law over the year (the year in question is 1993) is repetitive or routine.
Befolkningernes repræsentanter bør have retten til at varetage opgaven som repræsentant på deres eget sprog.
In fact it should be remembered that il was this Parliament which asked, as long ago as 1983, to have this report submitted to it and we are pleased to see that, in the Treaty on Union, Declaration No 19 specifically asks the Commission to publish periodically a report for Parliament on the implementation of Community law.
Det er også meget væsentligt, at alle institutionerne kommunikerer med befolkningerne på samtlige elleve officielle sprog. Tanken om at begrænse arbejdssprogene til fem er desuden problematisk, da grænsen mellem officielle sprog og arbejdsprog er flydende. de.
So I am speaking entirely for myself when I say that I agree with the vast majority of what has been said on the subject this afternoon, and I earnestly hope that if the languages question comes up for discussion at the Intergovernmental Conference in 1996, people will not merely dwell on the organizational and financial aspects, but will also consider the political, social and cultural aspects too.
Det virkelige svar på dette argument er, at demokrati og integration, hvor enhver kan blive ved at være sig selv, har en pris.
Cox (ELDR). — Mr President, since a question was asked under the guise of a point of order, may I, speaking English, answer in a point of order that I fully support the linguistic pluralism of this debate.
Vil vi have et Europa, hvori utallige valgte parlamentsmedlem mer skal benytte et andet sprog, hvorved enhver debat savner uddybelse, og det er jo det, vi vil have?
I should like to take this opportunity of suggesting thai honourable Members read the reports since they present a graphic picture of the application of Community law in each Member State.
Man vil ikke hjælpe det franske sprog, for hvilket vi har usigelig megen respekt, fremad ved at lægge bånd på andre sprog.
Maij-Weggen (PPE). — (NL) Mr President, with your permission, I have one small question.
Man vil ikke bringe de europæiske folk nærmere hinanden, heller ikke i fremtiden, ved at tage deres sprog fra dem.
Since Mr van den Broek is speaking on his own behalf, can he tell us what he thinks of the fact that the number of languages for the Trade Marks Office has been limited to five?
Vi har brug en sociokulturel undersøgelse af sprogenes anvendelse i Den Europæiske Union.
van den Broek, Member of the Commission. — (NL) Mr President, this was a decision taken by the Heads of Govern ment at the European Council.
Det drejer sig om de grundlæggende rettigheder, men hvis vi begynder at tale om penge, så vil jeg minde hr. Lamassoure om. at han og Parlamentet burde tænke på den månedlige flytning til Strasbourg. bourg.
Now that it has been decided, I do not feel that my personal opinion is particularly relevant.
Vi må ikke gøre os medskyldige i et sådant forræderi.
The situation in the field of public contracts is strange and disturbing, as is the States' misapplication of the legislation in question, as may be seen from the many requests and complaints addressed to the Commission about this failure to implement.
En misforståelse siger De, hr. Lamassoure, det er så en særdeles hårdnakket misforståelse, for De blev for 48 timer siden irettesat her under Deres præsidents imponerende tale.
Ephremidis (GUE/NGL). - (EL) Mr President, it is most certainly a point of order.
Også Deres udenrigsminister fløjtede Dem tilbage.
Of the fifteen speakers on this issue, all referred to Mr Lamassoure, who originated the scandal.
Begrænsningen til en række arbejdssprog er ikke på tale i dag, sagde han. Parlamentet svarer hertil: heller ikke i morgen!
Mr Lamassoure is absent and Mr Van den Broek is answering on his behalf.
Lad os lytte til hans egne ord, der bl.a. lærte os, at »det universelle er det lokale uden mure«, de ord, han udtalte i sin takketale, da han var blevet valgt til Årets Kulturpersonlighed i Portugal i 1991:
We heard Mr Delors speak this morning and I must admit that like many people in this House, I was deeply impressed and deeply affected by what he had to say.
Daskalaki (RDE). — (EL) Hr. formand, da hr. Lamassoure forleden dag besvarede den regn af spørgsmål, han blev stillet, modererede han sine oprindelige udtalelser om brug af sprog i Den Europæiske Union.
Secondly I should like to point out that a start has been made on an interinstitutional agreement to codify Community law.
Men vi tror ikke, faren er drevet over endnu.
The law must be clear and accessible but nowadays it is in some cases absolutely impossible to use it.
Vi kan ikke acceptere en opdeling i A- og B-sprog og
All this creates a maze in which it is absolutely impossible to find the way out.
-kulturer, og slet ikke når det sker på grundlag af en snæver, alt andet end visionær, økonomisk tankegang.
This codification is also needed because in some countries publications called codes of Community law have just appeared (one in French).
Argumentet om, at endnu en udvidelse vil gøre Den Europæiske Union til et dyrt og usmidigt babelstårn er relevant, men for svagt.
In these codes of Community procedures private publishing houses have collected together in a single volume a whole series of Community documents and rules concerning a given subject.
»...jeg har altid kæmpet for og vil fortsat, indtil jeg drager mit sidste suk, kæmpe for at bevare denne identitet, selve grund laget for ethvert individs og enhver gruppes eksistens, og jeg tager af hele mit hjerte afstand fra Europas ansvarsløse og viljeløse holdning i Maastricht, hvor det har forråd denne identitet og dermed sig selv og os«.
It would also be helpful to contact national parliaments so that they might encourage their governments to be more assiduous in implementing Community law.
— For det første, fordi dette problem kan løses med moderne teknologi.
This was served against a background of growing opposition to the trade in white veal.
— For det andet, fordi bevarelsen af og respekten for Europas kulturelle identitet er vigtigere.
This unfortunate choice underlines my call that this Parliament should desist from serving veal in this institution.
Det gjorde han.
(Mixed reactions)
— For det tredje, fordi alle ved, at der er andre måder. Unionen kan spare på.
President. — The debate is closed.
Derfor bør det hele organiseres allerede nu med fastsættelse af kriterier og en strategi på mellemlang sigt på grundlag af tekniske ekspertundersøgelser.
Similarly, I should like to point out that there is a new procedure under the Treaty on Union — the committees of inquiry with a brief to look into alleged contravention or maladministration in the implementation of Community law.
Det, der tilsyneladende mangler, er ikke midlerne til at bevare vort kulturelle ansigt intakt, men snarere viljen hertil.
It will be interesting to bear that in mind.
Og det er ikke rart at tænke på, at det, som århundreders krige, besættelser og voldeligheder i den europæiske historie og civilisation ikke har haft held med, vil lykkes med en enkelt forordning fra Rådet!
Finally, I should like to mention that, although on many occasions the Community has been described as a community based on the rule of law, the vicissitudes of Community law are clearly a gauge of how far the Union has moved forward or
Til sidst kan jeg ikke modstå fristelsen til at fortælle Dem. at jeg forleden dag. da hr. Mitterrand talte, fyldte to ark papir med
Outcome of the vole — Appointments to committees and interparliamentary delegations — Membership of committees and delegations: see Minutes
Europa-Parlamentet repræsenterer befolkningerne, og disse har krav på at kunne forstå, hvad deres repræsentanter skriver og siger.
Finally, I would like to say that the Third Pillar of Maastricht is extremely important and I welcome the report on access to justice for consumers.
Hvis der ikke tages hensyn til dette politiske krav, vil man kun opnå at give yderligere næring til nationalistiske tendenser, som vil blive af endnu mere irrationel og voldsom karakter, hvis ikke engang folkevalgte medlemmer har ret til at tale på deres eget sprog, også selv om det er et af de mest udbredte sprog.
But the Commission must do more work in this area and make sure that the very frequent cross-country disputes that are brought to my attention by my constituents are actually able to be enforced in the courts.
Desuden kan det jo ikke kræves af en politiker, at han skal være hverken lingvist eller mangesproget.
The Commission must think about this in order to make Europe accessible to the people.
Jeg tror, at man, hvis man vil fremmedgøre Unionens borgere, så skal tage deres sprog fra dem i en forsamling som denne — en demokratisk forsamling.
Anastassopoulos (PPE). — (EL) Mr President, I do not think we can gainsay the general view.
Vi kan prise os lykkelige over, at der stadig er så mange tolke, som gennem deres studier, gennem en uddannelse og gennem deres erfaring i hvert fald er os noget behjælpelige.
The great problems related to the application of Community law persist, but fortunately there have been some changes for the better, certainly limited in extent, but there nevertheless.
Van der Waal (EDN). — (NL) Hr. formand, med en vis regelmæssighed rejses spørgsmålet, om antallet af officielle sprog i Den Europæiske Union ikke skal begrænses til et mindre antal arbejdssprog.
As the rapporteur said, this report is perhaps better than previous ones, but it has not looked more deeply into the problems caused by the failure to implement Community law in the Member States.
Det nuværende system med ligestilling mellem de officielle sprog skulle være for dyrt og frem for alt ved udvidelse af Unionen føre til umulige situationer.
The report refers briefly to some of the directives which have not been transposed correctly into national law.
Jeg synes, at ethvert forsøg, som gøres på nu snart at gå over til at begrænse sprogene, er dårligt.
Some have been transposed but not observed, whilst others have not been fully transposed.
På grundlag af sidstnævnte overvejelse lancerede den franske minister for europæiske anliggender for ganske nylig tanken om inden for Unionen at gå over til fem arbejdssprog.
Some of the directives most affected by this improper transposition or implementation are very important for those of us working in the environmental field.
Dermed er den uro, som var opstået herom, i hvert fald foreløbig dæmpet.
The same can be said about the directives on water and waste and on the use of Community funds for works which fail to observe certain directives.
Men det betyder ikke, at det ikke er vigtigt endnu en gang at tage dette spørgsmål op principielt.
One classic example in Spain is the Santoña salt marshes in Santander, which are very important for migratory birds, for the ecology and for the natural environment.
Costa Neves (ELDR). — (PT) Hr. formand, på Det Europæiske Råds møde i december 1993 besluttedes det, at den sproglige ordning ved de europæiske institutioner ikke ville blive ændret med den på daværende tidspunkt forudsete udvidelse med fire nye stater, det vil sige, at alle de officielle sprog skulle have status af arbejdssprog.
Most of it has been approved, thanks to a concerted effort by the three Community bodies. Yet, only 89% of the White Paper's executive measures have been incorporated in the national laws of the Member States, and I should stress in particular that the degree of transfer to the national laws is very inadequate in the sectors of health and safety, insurance, the allocation of public contracts and public works, and in the field of intellectual and industrial property.
Ingen argumenter af teknisk eller budgetmæssig art ville da heller kun retfærdiggøre en indskrænkning af sprogene, da det overordnede formål med den nuværende ordning er at styrke forsvaret af medlemsstaternes kulturelle særpræg og fremme flersprogetheden.
Is it really necessary to repeat for the umpteenth time in this House how essential it is to get on with the codification of Community law, because that is the first prerequisite for Community law to become more transparent and easier to apply, both for the legal fraternity — lawyers and judges — and for all European citizens?
Selv om der således er tale om en overordentlig fornuftig og korrekt ordning, fremkommer der nu uacceptable erklæringer i modsat retning.
Parlia ment's adoption of the ad referendum agreement of 11 March 1994 pursuant to the Cot report, during that period, was an encouraging step in that direction but only a first step.
Anfægtelse af disse principper ville fremmedgøre borgerne endnu mere fra Unionen, end det allerede nu ofte er tilfældet. Det er derfor meget sigende, at premierminister Dehaene for nylig sagde, at den, som tager sprogordningen op til diskussion, i virkeligheden tager den europæiske tanke op til diskussion.
We are very sorry that it has not gone into greater depth because if we do not manage to ensure that Community law is observed in its entirety, it will be difficult to for us to meet the requirements for this year of nature conservation and the V Programme on the environment, which are so important for protecting the natural environment.
Ephremidis (GUE/NGL). — (EL) Hr. formand, vi er ikke noget filologisk institut og heller ikke en forelæsningsrække.
Oddy (PSE). — Mr President, I would like to thank Mr Verde i Aldea from my group for doing such a thorough piece of work and for having such a constructive approach in committee.
Vi er en politisk forsamling!
I agree with him that there are problems in the public contracts area.
Hr. Lamassoures erklæringer — han er fraværende, men burde have været til stede — bærer præg af sproglig racisme og fremmedhad og gør åbenlyst nar ad de højlydte erklæringer om mangesprogethed, mangfoldighed og pluralisme.
I assure the Commission that I get a very large number of complaints from local firms about public contracts and there fore I agree with the views of Mr Verde i Aldea.
Et lands sprog er meget nært knyttet til dets kultur og historie.
I welcome the hotline set up in DG IV but still think that more work needs to be done in this area.
Ikke uden grund har præsident Mitterrand i denne uge med så stort eftertryk erklæret, at alle sprog skal opretholdes for den kulturelle forskelligartetheds skyld.
On codification, I agree with Mr Verdi i Aldea that laws needs to be accessible and clear and I too have found problems in my local area with the environmental impact directive because it is too vague.
Ligesom der for den franske kultur ligger en trussel i den engelske og amerikanske kultur, således er også de små sprog truede i en Union, der er domineret af det engelske eller franske sprog.
I wish to stress that there is a great need for information on legislation to be made available to the public.
Det drejer sig i denne forbindelse ikke om en sag i anden række, men om et spørgsmål af vital betydning. Der er kun en papirtynd skillevæg mellem degraderingen af små sprog og marginaliseringen af små lande.
In my office in Coventry we get constant requests for information about simple Community legislation.
Vagtsomhed er stadig påkrævet. Også efter kritikken af beslutningen om kun at bruge fem sprog i Varemærkekontoret blev der jo sagt beroligende ord.
Judges and lawyers stressed the need to create a European legal awareness by means of appropriate legal professional instruction in the European Union.
Jeg er derfor meget tilfreds med det foreliggende beslutningsforslag og vil gerne støtte dette.
That would certainly facilitate the processing of many cases involving the application of Community law, directly by the national courts, which by their very nature are much closer to Europe's citizens.
Rosado Fernandes (RDE). — (PT) Mine damer og herrer, jeg har altid ment, at et sprog er udtryk for enkeltpersoners og nationers suverænitet.
But to achieve it we must once again stress in this House the need for continual updating of judges and lawyers in Community law.
Jeg nærer derfor ikke den ringeste tvivl om, at når store sproggrupper forsøger at tvinge de små ud af banen som arbejdssprog, er det udtryk for kolonialisme. 1 betragtning af Unionens manglende evne til at bekæmpe svig,
For that reason, related amendments approved unanimously by the Legal Committee and incorporated in the motion for a resolution — some of them stemming from my own group — envisage both that the Commission, in cooperation with the European Court of Justice, should compile a list of existing continual training programmes, and that Community law must be established as a compulsory subject in university courses in the Member States.
Dillen (NI). — (NL) Hr. formand, sproget er et nyttigt instrument, som muliggør kontakten mellem mennesker. Men ve den, som i sproget kun ser dette værktøj.
I wish to make the point that we must resist all claims to reduce the number of Community languages to five because people must be able to read laws in a language understandable to them.
Sproget er meget mere.
That is a very basic human right.
Det hører til et samfunds højeste kulturkræfter.
There is no point in us in this Chamber passing fancy laws if
Dillen generationer måttet kæmpe for retten til vort sprog.
Anastassopoulos referred to this.
I dag er denne strid endnu ikke ophørt nogle steder.
Yet none of our law schools require anything more than a passing acquaintance with European law in order to obtain a diploma.
Derfor er vort krav om vort sprogs, og alle talmæssigt mindre sprogs absolutte ligestilling og lighed så meget desto større, desto stærkere og desto højere.
I have tabled amendments on this subject countless times and all of them have been adopted, but we have yet to see any result.
Til sidst, hr. formand, vil jeg takke de kolleger fra ikke-traede sproggrupper, som har stillet sig solidariske med os.
In the European Parliament we will wait impatiently for the conclusions of the study and the proposals that we believe Mr Monti, the new Commissioner undertaking responsibility for the internal market, will be putting forward once the study has been completed.
Tænk blot på flamlænderen Claes, der som belgisk rådsformand holdt sin første tale her på fransk.
As you know, I have been involved in a court case because I refused to show my passport at Amsterdam airport.
Tænk blot på medlemmet af Kommissionen, flamlænderen Van Miert, som med et urs regelmæssighed næsten aldrig taler sit eget sprog her, men fransk, engelsk og tysk.
I am hoping that the case will be referred to Luxembourg for a preliminary ruling under Article 177, partly because of the link with the case that Parliament has brought against the Commission for negligence.
Lad os i stedet forsvare vort sprog, forsvare det og fortsætte med at forsvare det og aldrig acceptere eller tåle, at det angribes af Lamassouritis.
The report by our esteemed Spanish colleague Mr Verde i Aldea on the application of Community law, is based on sound work, it is a step in the right direction, and the rapporteur accepted all the amendments I submitted on behalf of the European People's Party.
Så tjener vi vort folk, men også hele Europa.
My group will therefore warmly support this report which, as we appreciate, makes an interest ing contribution to our common effort.
Hvis der er tvivl om, hvilke love og hvilken lovfortolkning der gælder, skal jeg ikke kritisere dem, som simpelthen blæser lovgivningen en lang march. Desuden ville en reduktion af antallet af arbejdssprog til fem faktisk kunne føre til et krav om, at Sverige trådte ud af Unionen. Der er behov for flere, ikke færre, ressourcer til sprog.
It seems crazy that under European law you can set up a company, but you cannot wind it up, and that you have to rely on the United Nations enforcement treaty to claim debts from a bankrupt estate.
Terrón i Cusí (PSE). — (ES) Hr. formand, først og fremmest vil jeg gerne sige, at jeg ikke engang udtrykker mig på mit modersmål.
Sierra González (GUE/NGL). - (ES) Mr President, the annual report on the monitoring of the application of Community law shows once again that, for coherence and unity in the process of building Europe, it is essential for all the Member States to transpose Community directives fully and faithfully into their national law.
Jeg er katalaner, og mit modersmål er et officielt sprog i min stat, selv om det ikke er et officielt sprog i den spanske stat, og jeg kan derfor ikke tale det her. Derfor ved jeg udmærket, at et sprog er mere end et kommunikationsmiddel: et sprog er en del af ens identitet.
But the annual report also shows, if we look at the statistics for cases of infringement and failure to comply with obligations, a certain reluctance in the business sector to comply with Community law and a certain tolerance on the part of governments in the face of such repeated conduct, in particular as regards the environment and safety and health at work.
Barros Moura (PSE). — (PT) Hr. formand, jeg skal ikke undlade at gøre opmærksom på, at hr. Lamassoures holdning ikke er uden foruroligende fortilfælde.
Wijsenbeek (ELDR). — (NL) Mr President, I am sorry that the Commissioner, who is only an engineer, after all, and has a terrible cold, has to listen to this sort of stuff, but I am grateful to him for taking the trouble and for offering to forward the results of this debate to his successor, Mr Monti.
