Desto mere bestyrtet var mange lande sidste år, først og fremmest Danmark, da visse stater i Den Europæiske Union ikke længere støttede den beslutning om Kina, som var blevet fremlagt et år tidligere med stort møje og besvær.
Last December it announced projects of more than ECU 10 million to help vulnerable sections of the population. This is in addition to the hundreds of millions of US dollars pledged nationally by European Union Member States at the Brussels donors conference.
Det er godt, at Rådet har besluttet ikke at acceptere Burmas deltagelse i møderne mellem EU og ASEAN, før situationen for menneskerettighederne er blevet bedre i Burma.
President. - The next item is the Council and the Com mission statements relating to the situation in Albania and the results of the visit by the tripartite delegation.
Rådets repræsentant, Henderson, sagde tidligere, at De fra Rådets side var rede til at foretage yderligere indgreb.
Marin, Vice-President of the Commission. - (ES) Mr President, the Commission is of the exact same opinion as the UK Presidency with respect to the situation in Albania.
Hvilke initiativer er formandskabet rede til at tage for at opnå effektive økonomiske sanktioner og for at fremme demokratiet i Burma?
It is true that there were great improvements in the sec ond half of 1997 as regards economic stabilization and public order.
Listen over lande, som bliver kritiseret på grund af deres menneskerettighedspolitik, er stadig væk meget lang, alt for lang.
However, in questions of security the situation is still worrying, and the collecting up of weapons has not been very effective so far.
Men alligevel opgiver vi ikke håbet om, at Den Europæiske Union viser sig fra en stærk fælles side, for kun på den måde kan vi udrette noget.
Henderson, President-in-Office of the Council. -Mr President, the European Union is committed to help-
Den Europæiske Union og især Europa-Parlament, gjort meget politisk til forsvar for menneskerettighederne.
Nevertheless, it is critical that the main opposition party, the Albanian Democratic Party, should participate in the Albanian Parliament and in the drafting of the constitution.
Denne politik er imidlertid ikke blevet koordineret, så den kan fremstå som en konsensus mellem de parter, der ud gør Den Europæiske Union i forhandlingerne om dette spørgsmål i De Forenede Nationer.
Without the necessary political stability, all the country's forces for recovery and reform, both those from Albania and those from the international donors, would be seriously threatened.
Summen af små stem mer har mange gange mindre virkning end en fælles og kraftigere stemme. Det er ikke dét eksempel, som Den Europæiske Union har leveret.
In that context, the Commission is pleased with the recent joint mission of the European Parliament, the Parliamentary Assemblies of the Council of Europe and the OSCE.
På den anden side er der stor mangel på respekt for De Forenede Nationers resolutioner, hvilket mange gange gør denne organisations beslutninger lidet troværdige.
Nevertheless, it must be realized that there are quite a few problems in applying the measures being taken to remedy this situation, which was created by the pyramid fraud.
Det aktuelle tilfælde med Irak og vores historiske tilfælde med Østtimor er eksempler, der bekræfter denne mangel på respekt.
It is difficult to carry out inspections and audits because the companies are not keen to cooperate with the administrators and auditors.
Kinnock (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil blot gerne spørge rådsformanden, om han vil være så venlig at be svare mit spørgsmål om betydningen af de kriterier, som han vil bruge til at bedømme overgangsprocessen i Nigeria. ria.
This issue, which is very sensitive and has a huge social impact, will be thoroughly dealt with during the next coordination meeting, to be held on 23 February and due to be chaired by the World Bank in collaboration with the International Monetary Fund.
Jeg mener, at Den Europæiske Union har ret og frem for alt pligt til at kæmpe for De Forenede Nationers prestige ved at gøre opmærksom på disse forhold.
The Commission is insisting that the Albanian government should facilitate the work of the international administrators, and it is very important that these audits should pro duce results.
Jeg vil også gerne spørge Kommissionen, om den forstår, hvad det betyder at sige, at vi skal have en stor del nye NGO-aktiviteter i Burma.
And in the context of the third joint European Community-/Council of Eu rope programme for Albania, with a value of ECU 1.5 million, there is a desire to support the work of the Venice Commission towards the preparation of the con stitution.
Jeg finder dette dybt foruroligende, og jeg vil gerne have, at kommissæren nøje forklarer, hvad det betyder.
This programme also includes aid for training judges, developing the legislative framework, maintain ing law, progress in human rights law, and reforming the judicial system and local administration.
Mann, Thomas (PPE). - (DE) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, kære hr. kommissær, hvilken effekt har menneskerettighedsdebatterne i Europa-Parlamentet?
Imbeni (PSE). - (IT) Mr President, I had the honour of taking part in this mission with Mrs Pack, which I believe was the first tri-parliamentary mission in the history of our Parliament.
Har de gjort overholdelsen af menneskerettighederne gældende ad ret tens vej, bidrager de til at rydde misforhold af vejen, ind gyder de måske endda mod hos de kræfter, hvis humanitære, økologiske eller økonomiske arbejde skal støttes? Krænkelserne af menneskerettighederne fortsætter med uformindsket styrke i Burma.
It is an extraordinary event and we can certainly be satisfied with it, but satisfaction with the re sult of this mission should not be confused with a calm state of mind in relation to the internal situation in Albania because, as Commissioner Marin has just recalled, the situation remains worrying from an economic and safety point of view.
Der foregår mishandlinger, arrestationer, tvangsarbejde og slavehandel.
We have to realize that a race is taking place in Albania and we do not yet know who the winner will be.
Vinderen af det demokratiske valg, som blev afholdt for over 9 år siden, fru Sun Kyi, som har modtaget Nobels fredspris, sidder stadig de facto i husarrest.
On the one hand, there are those who want a process of national reconciliation and an effective democracy and, on the other, there are those who still want revenge over the electoral process.
Bertens (ELDR). - (NL) Hr. formand, Rådets formand har flotte oversigter, kendsgerninger og tal om de lande, som vi her behandler, men har ikke givet noget svar.
All this has an obvious link with the administrative re form programme, which is another key option in the PHARE programme.
Mit specifikke spørgsmål, som jeg ikke har fået svar på med hensyn til Burma, er: Hvad gør formandskabet med indbydelsen til ASEM-landene til ASEM »ministerial meeting«?
Also in preparation is a law concerning the ba sis of the reorganization of the Ministry of Justice, and a constitutional budgetary law.
Mere konkret, hvad gør det med Burma i den forbindelse?
These two advances - con cerning the judiciary and the budget - will be fundamental in reforming public administration.
USA har således besluttet sig til en investeringsstandsning, altså et tilløb til en økonomisk boykot.
On the other hand, it is important that personnel cuts are carried out as part of the public administration reform process.
Resultatet er, at europæiske virksomheder er i færd med at overtage de amerikanske virksomheders opgaver.
These cuts have already been agreed with the Bretton Woods institutions, and maintain the necessary criteria of professionalism.
Hvad vil ministeren gøre, sammen med ministrene i Ministerrådet, for at standse dette og for sammen med USA at indtage en fælles holdning i Burma?
In this context, a decree is be ing approved which deals with transitional measures re lating to contracts and dismissals, and it will be revised by experts.
Burma er i dag formodentlig den største opiumproducent i verden og milevidt fra at samarbejde med andre stater for at bekæmpe narkotika.
It is true that in Albania, compared with a year ago when there was a kind of civil war, there is now a parliament and a government and constant efforts are being made to put things back in their places.
Ved at udøve økonomisk pres skal vi udøve politisk pres på militærregimet. Vi skal opnå sanktioner, som går længere endnu.
If implemented, all this legislation - which I am describing in detail because it is a condition for budgetary aid through the PHARE programme - would release a first sum of ECU 9 million.
Ligesom amerikanerne skal europæerne også snart få industrilederne til ikke at investere i Burma fremover.
Just last week there was a Com mission identification mission to see how the country's political normalization is progressing.
Telkämper (V). - (DE) Hr. formand, jeg er også nødt til at gentage en del af mit spørgsmål, fordi Rådet ikke har besvaret det.
The constitutional block in Albania was the fundamental reason for this mission. The cooperation of all the political powers is required to draw up a constitution.
Jeg spurgte, om det britiske olieselskab Premier Oil i september 1997 erklærede, at det havde til hen-
The op position, however, has not yet participated in the work of
sigt at købe andele af det amerikanske selskab Texaco i et naturgasprojekt i Yetagun, efter at Texaco havde besluttet at trække sig ud af Burma.
The fact is, Renzo and I were the two participants from this Parliament in this tripartite attempt at reconciliation.
Nu er det jo generelt blevet slået fast endnu en gang: Vi fordømmer regimet.
The fact is, however, that reconciliation in this country between the two hostile camps has not yet been achieved and will not be achieved for some time to come.
Men hvordan forholder det britiske rådsformandskab sig - det var mit spørgsmål før - til dette mulige køb?
It is con stantly being undermined by both sides.
Det ville vi egentlig meget gerne have svar på.
The language alone is revealing.
Er der stadig humanitær hjælp fra EU dér?
It is therefore hard for a fruitful coexistence to flourish.
Moorhouse (PPE). - (EN) Hr. formand, for blot at vende tilbage til nogle bemærkninger, jeg kom med tidligere, vil jeg spørge, hvordan rådsformanden forener en sportsboykot mod Nigeria med det grønne lys til fodbold-VM, der har åbnet op for en overvældende mængde kontakter med Nigeria?
We said, however, that we needed to overcome this block; it seemed to us that our words had been heeded with re newed attention and we had the feeling, as Commissioner Marin pointed out a short while ago, that in the days im mediately following our visit, new political events took place.
Det må være meget glædeligt for Abacha!
I have heard positive comments in this respect.
Det næste spørgsmål om Nigeria blev rejst af fru André-Léonard og lød som følger: vil Nigeria stå øverst på menneskerettighedsdagsordenen?
The joint action, as Mr Imbeni has said already, was im portant.
Svaret er, at det burde det, og jeg håber, at det vil gøre det.
It was unique in its cooperation and therefore it was of major significance to the Albanian public and the political representatives.
Vi vil bestræbe os på at få det placeret øverst på dagsordenen for drøftelserne i Genève senere i år.
We all listened and our conclusions took into consideration all points of view on the in ternal politics.
Hvad angår fru Lenz' spørgsmål om udvidelsen, så gør de kriterier, der blev fastsat i København, det ret så klart, at opfyldelsen af demokratiske målsætninger og menneskerettighedsforpligtelser udgør en del af udvidelsesprocessen. Amsterdamtraktaten fører hele spørgsmålet om menneskerettigheder videre i præamblen og forstærker behovet for at opretholde de højste menneskerettighedsstandarder i alle EU-landene.
We, as members of this Parliament, will have to comply with two commitments we have assumed in this respect: firstly, the formation of an international group of advisers with the task of contributing towards the definition of the status and content of the new constitution; and secondly, the observation of the parliamentary work in Albania.
Det er en del af udvidelsesdialogen. Alle de lande, der ønsker at slutte sig til Den Europæiske Union, er klar over denne procedure.
This is a somewhat unusual commitment, but if we take the situation into account we can easily understand why it has been established.
Da jeg under forberedelserne af det britiske formandskab aflagde besøg i nogle af de lande, som ønsker at tiltræde Unionen, rejste jeg disse spørgsmål over for dem. Hvis de ikke var klar over dem før, så er de det i hvert fald nu.
In a fairly delicate context, we wanted to illustrate the requirement that the three organizations should dedicate themselves to observing the par liamentary work, with the agreement of the Albanian par liament.
Macartney (ARE). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne støtte de spørgsmål, der er blevet rejst af fru Kinnock om kriterier. Der var også i det forslag til beslutning, som vi enedes om i grupperne, en række foranstaltninger, som vi ønsker, at Det Europæiske Råd skal blive enige om at træffe.
Secondly, the parliament must, however, observe the dignity of the individual member and adhere to the democratic rules of the game, and in this respect the observation carried out by representatives of the OSCE or the Council of Europe should be helpful.
Her henviser jeg især til artikel 9 i forslaget til be slutning, som jeg er sikker på, at rådsformanden har lig gende foran sig. Jeg vil gerne vide, om vi skal have en el ler anden aktion eller om vi blot skal tale om at forlænge den nuværende situation
Thirdly, we also of course expect that the middle manage ment staff, particularly in the legal field - and you re ferred to this earlier, Commissioner - which in recent years was trained with our money, are not arbitrarily thrown out into the street, but that use is made of their ex perience.
Henderson, formand for Rådet. - (EN) Jeg vil gerne komme ind på et punkt vedrørende forretningsordenen.
Fourthly, Albania needs a constitution, particularly for important investment projects.
Jeg havde fået at vide, at Parlamentet gerne ville have, at jeg besvarede de skriftlige spørgsmål, og at der var en mulighed for en drøftelse af disse spørgsmål.
According to existing law, the parliamentary committee should draw up the draft constitution, it should be accepted with a majority of two thirds and them - as they have committed themselves - a referendum by the public should decide.
Jeg besvarede de skriftlige spørgsmål, men så blev der rejst tillægsspørgsmål af de oprindelige spørgere.
I think that the composition of the committee destined to carry out all these procedures must be somewhat improved.
Der er en række politikker, der er på plads.
Having said that, other things are also useful.
I mit indledende indlæg refererede jeg til, at handelspræferencerne for Burmas eksport af landbrugs- og industriprodukter til Den Europæiske Union var blevet suspenderet.
To give an example, and addressing Commissioner Marin and the President-in-Office of Council in particular, I believe that we should establish roots in the territory because, al though the national government has good intentions, we cannot take it for granted that its supporters throughout the country have the same good intentions of working to wards national reconciliation.
For så vidt som det er en boykot, er det lige ledes en tilskyndelse til Burma til at forbedre sig moralsk.
To use an image, there is still fire smouldering under the ashes!
Forsøg på at holde turisterne borte og sætte en stopper for handelsfremstødene er et udgangspunkt her. Vi ville helt bestemt ønske at tilskynde denne dagsorden i Rådet og håbe på at opnå støtte fra vores andre kolleger i fremtiden.
I have heard talk of initiatives the Commission would support financially.
Jeg gør det gerne i dag, men jeg vil ikke gøre det igen i fremtiden - med Deres tilslutning, hr. for mand.
Pack (PPE). - (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I can subscribe fully to 98 % of your statement.
Jeg kan fortælle Parlamentet, at dette punkt vil være på dagsordenen for det næste EU-Nigeria-ekspertmøde, som Kommissionen vil indkalde til i marts i Bruxelles.
My opinion is that this can only be achieved through the correct operation of the Albanian parliament.
Resultatet af dette møde vil danne grundlag for Rådets beslutningstagning i dette spørgsmål ved et senere møde i Rådet.
Events or investigations which concern penal injustices that took place before the events of last year can often be used as a means to persecute political opponents, and that must be avoided.
Men hensyn til det spørgsmål, der blev stillet af hr. Ber tens om ASEAN, så tror jeg ikke, at Burma vil deltage i ASEANkonferencen, så der vil ikke blive nogen anledning.
It is very difficult to know from here but it proves one thing, that the fronts between the political camps are very firm and appear almost insurmountable and that force is the language of the politicians.
Fru Maij-Weggen rejste spørgsmålet om forbindelsen til USA.
A joint action, such as we have undertaken can only be implemented once.
Jeg har allerede dækket dette punkt.
We do not churn them out on a conveyor belt.
Med hensyn til det spørgsmål, der blev rejst af hr. Tel kämper om, hvorvidt bistand ville blive ydet, så er svaret »nej«, men jeg vil gerne rådføre mig med embedsmændene, og så kan jeg senere give ham et endeligt skriftligt svar.
As you have rightly said Commissioner, it is the job of politicians in Albania now to take their own fate into their hands at last and, if it is at all possible - and I address this both to the Council and the Commission - I would make a heartfelt request for pressure from both sides.
For Kommissionen vil måske kunne give yderligere oplysninger herom.
I do not mean gentle pressure but really energetic pressure, so that they finally get together in reconciliation and in the interests of the tor mented people of Albania.
FORSÆDE: Antonio CAPUCHO Næstformand ensstemmigheden og sammenhængen i Den Europæiske Union blev brudt.
Daskalaki (UPE). - (EL) Mr President, the situation and lot of Albania has often been debated in this House, and frequently with some intensity.
Det jeg taler om, er noget vi skal ændre fremover, for det er den negative form for fortolkning, der finder sted for tiden.
In any case, we have all expressed them on the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and we meant it very sincerely.
Hvad angår disse diskussioner er jeg enig med hr. Henderson: Europa-Parlamentet må heller ikke gentage denne fejl -jeg refererer til hans indlæg - for, og det er dette jeg frygtede at sige, men som jeg nu siger med ærefrygt, som led i Deres overvejelser har en stor del af Dem anmodet om forklaringer på, hvor for en virksomhed i et andet land, af en anden nationalitet, har investeret i et land med problemer.
I must say that a very important proposal is the one in cluded among those agreed by the tripartite delegation in which Mrs Pack and Mr Imbeni took part with parliamentarians from the Council of Europe and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, that is, the pro posal that an advisory group should be formed.
Tilgiv mig formuleringen, men jeg tror, det er noget, Kommissionen bør påpege, eftersom vi naturligvis ikke kan iværksætte aktive politikker, som sanktionerer over for den ene eller den anden virksomhed, for i sidste ende vil dette, som De kan forstå, blive vendt til en sag, som ikke kan behandles politisk.
It will also have the opportunity to make contacts, and most importantly, to offer advice about the formula tion of a constitution which, as we have been told, the present government intends to submit to the Albanian people in a referendum.
Marin, næstformand i Kommissionen. - (ES) Hr. for mand, nogle medlemmer har anmodet Kommissionen om nærmere oplysninger i sagen om Burma, hvortil kan siges, at der ikke er noget problem i forhold til NGO'erne.
As has already been said many times, the situation in Al bania remains fragile and fraught with tensions, even though some progressive steps have been taken.
Man vil fortsætte samarbejdet.
There are always incidents, as Mrs Pack also said earlier.
Jeg vil også oplyse, at vi i forgårs påbegyndte en undersøgelse af, hvordan vi kan gribe ind over for problemet med burmesiske flygtninge, som udvises af Thailand, da det er et nyt problem i området.
Democratic awareness according to the Western European model is not yet the main factor in public life, and never has been, to this day.
Forhandlingen er afsluttet.
I hope this, because I am an optimist.
Afstemningen finder sted i morgen, torsdag, kl. 12.00.
Those people deserve better luck and wholehearted and devoted support from Europe's peoples and govern ments.
Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er Rådets og Kommissionens redegørelser om situationen i Albanien og resultaterne af trepartsdelegationens besøg.
In this respect, our joint motion expresses that intention and wish, and defines the objectives that must be achieved.
Henderson, formand for Rådet. - (EN) Hr. formand, Den Europæiske Union ønsker fuldt ud at hjælpe Albanien med at nå frem til forsoning og en tilbagevenden til normale tilstande.
Finally, Commissioner, I would like to ask whether the European Parliament is to be informed about the talks you said were to take place on Monday regarding Albania at the World Bank.
Hr. formand, helt generelt vil jeg gerne komme med en kommentar, som jeg er lidt bange for at knytte af frygt for at blive misforstået.
President. -1 have received six motions for resolutions, pursuant to Rule 37(2) of the Rules of Procedure. (')
Politikken på menneskerettighedsområdet skal forbedres væsentligt, fordi der i fjor opstod en situation, der helt tydeligt var svær at forklare over for offentligheden -de ved, hvad jeg henviser til.Man tog en række beslutninger i forhold til et stort land, hvormed
I believe that the road to be followed, as indicated by Mr Imbeni and strongly supported by Mr Pack, is to insist that the transition to democracy, which has just been del icately begun, can be followed, starting with the parliament, and therefore the insistence that the parliament ex plains its own tendencies. I would like to tell the Presi-

In view of all this, the EU should commit itself much further to offering economic aid and aid aimed at restoring democracy and control in the region.
har lagt i arbejdet med genoprettelse og reformering af landet, være i alvorlig fare.
President. - Thank you very much, Mr Tamino.
Det er vigtigt, at regeringen arbejder på at opbygge en ægte upolitisk statsforvaltning.
The vote will take place tomorrow at 12.00 noon.
Kommissionen støtter fuldt ud de forslag, den parlamentariske trepartsdelegation har fremsat.
The Albanian question cannot be separated from the other questions in a particularly delicate area.
Kommissionen ønsker at støtte Venedig-udvalget i udarbejdelsen af den al banske forfatning med et beløb på ECU 1,5 millioner in den for rammerne af det tredje fællesprogram mellem De Europæiske Fællesskaber og Europarådet.
When, at the re cent Madrid Summit, the Balkans and Albania are, so to speak, cut off from a policy of safety, a policy of attention, that should be considered globally, mistakes are made. We are not without the means: the means are there.
Programmet omfatter desuden hjælp til uddannelse af dommerstanden, udvikling af lovgivningsområdet, opretholdelse af lov og orden, udvikling på menneskerettighedsområdet samt reformer af retssystemet og lokalforvaltningen.
NATO is assisting with the rebuilding of the Albanian fleet, the WEU and the OECD are helping the police re gain a professionalism they had lost, and there are means of creating the conditions of impartiality to which Com missioner Marin referred.
Unionen opfordrer Det Demokratiske Parti og dets allierede til at deltage fuldt ud i parlamentet, herunder i vedtagelsen af en ny albansk forfatning.
(The sitting was suspended at 5.15 p.m., while awaiting Question Time scheduledat 5.30p.m.)
Det er vigtigt, at det samarbejde, som Berisha tilbyder, bliver imødekommet.
IN THE CHAIR: MR GUTIÉRREZ DÍAZ Vice-President
