Bjørnvig (ARC), ordfører. - Fru formand, på Det Europæiske Råds møde i Lissabon i juni 1992 tre uger efter, at det danske nej til Unionen havde sendt en chokbølge gennem EF's institutioner, besluttedes det at indlede optagelsesforhandlinger med Østrig, Sverige, Norge og Finland.
Norwegian Department for the Environment, it says that the transition period will simply be able to be extended beyond the four years, if the Union has not reached the same level as the applicant countries by then. The Austrian negotiators' view is that they will be able to maintain Austrian norms through reference to the environmental guarantee; this is not borne out by the text either.
Disse fire EFTA-lande havde i perioden 19891992 søgt om optagelse i EØF, i Det Europæiske Kul- og Stålfællesskab og i Euratom.
As members, the applicant countries would be able to work on this too, but the Union could guarantee nothing as regards the results of the attempts to improve the rules in force at the time.
Nu skulle optagelsen finde sted på baggrund af traktaten om Den Europæiske Union fra december 1991.
As far as the environment guarantee is concerned, it is so well con cealed in the joint statement from the meeting of 21 December, that it is not mentioned at all.
Efter planerne skal optagelsesforhandlingerne som bekendt være tilendebragt pr. 1.3. i år, så ansøgerlandene, hvis deres befolkninger accepterer forhandlingsresultatet, kan optages pr. 1. januar 1995.
In those instances where the applicant countries request permanent derogation for areas where the Union's legislation is laid down with its legal basis in Article 100 A or 130 S, the Union ought, in my view, to fulfill this wish for the sake of the environment.
I den betænkning Jeg har forelagt, foreslås nedsættelse af en task force.
December 21, 1993 was a decisive day in the accession negotiations.
Fru Jackson ser deri en struktur og yderligere tjenestemænd; hun har måske ikke læst begrundelsen, hvori det blev præciseret, at der var tale om
Roth-Behrendt (PSE). - (DE) Madam President, the Social Democrats in Europe are very pleased that we are about to enlarge the European Community, and for several reasons.
Tilblivelsen af min betænkning er blevet fulgt med stor interesse fra de fire landes side.
Neither does the text bear it out when, in the press statement from the
Miljøspørgsmålet er af afgørende betydning for såvel østrigere, svenskere og
When we look at the legislation in these countries, which rightly fear that their high standards will be whittled away
Man gik på mødet den 21.12. kun med til at forlænge overgangsperioden med et år. og det er mildt sagt vildledende, når forhandlerne og i øvrigt også den danske udenrigsminister har udråbt dette ene års forlængelse til at være en sejr for ansøgerlandenes ønsker og for miljøet.
I have mentioned this document, this annexed declaration, because I con sider it a most important point and, taken together with the other points, I consider this agreement a very positive decision for two reasons in particular. Firstly, because it means an exceptional opportunity has been taken to harmonize the environmental protection standards of the European Union at increasingly high levels.
Hvad miljøgarantien angår, er den så godt skjult i den fælles erklæring fra mødet den 21.12., at den end ikke er nævnt.
The experience of these countries can greatly enrich the entire Community by offering an increasingly high quality of life.
Netop spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt disse lande kunne bevare deres højere standarder, som de har arbejdet så hårdt for at opnå, vil være af afgørende betydning for, om deres befolkninger ønsker at blive medlemmer eller ej. Dette være blot sagt til orientering.
We saw the last example of that during the talks on the Treaty on the European Union in Maastricht when we changed the objectives of the European Community and made it very clear in Article 2 that environmental policy is a basic Community objective that must influence all policy areas and be integrated in all these areas.
Jeg tager ikke som ordfører for denne betænkning stilling til, om det er ønskeligt eller ikke for Unionen og for ansøgerlandene, at de bliver medlemmer.
We know that the people find it more difficult than their government to join the European Union: this has been shown by the various referendums that have been held on the Maastricht Treaty.
Jeg beskæftiger mig udelukkende med vigtigheden af at opnå og bevare de højest mulige miljøstandarder af hensyn til medlemsstaternes borgeres sundhed og sikkerhed samt til det omgivende miljø.
For instance, the elections in Norway last September had some very antiCommunity features and the political forces opposed to Norwegian membership were surprisingly successful.
Ender det med optagelse af de fire ansøger lande i Den Europæiske Union, er det vigtigt ikke blot for ansøgerlandene selv, men for hele Europa, at deres højere standarder opretholdes og sikrer dynamik i Unionens miljøpolitik.
As co-chairman of the Joint Committee for relations with Norway, I have been in direct contact with the associations of farmers, fishermen, craftsmen, manufacturers and workers in general and I must say that many of them feel very perplexed.
Sidste sætning: Lokomotivets fremdrift sikres kun ved, at enkelte lande kan gå foran, ikke ved at Unionen fungerer...
So the European Union must create the most favourable conditions to ensure that in future too, in the final act of accession, it satisfies the needs of these people, who have always demonstrated their great sensitivity towards ecological questions.
Den 21. december 1993 var en afgørende dag for optagelsesforhandlingerne.
Then twelve Member States will simply follow the lead of the four new ones.
Her skulle det vise sig, om ens regler, harmonisering som det jo kaldes, og varernes frie bevægelighed er det vigtigste for Unionen, eller om principperne i unionstraktatens artikel 130 R, stk. 2, om vigtigheden af det høje beskyttelsesniveau, hensynet til regionale forskelligheder og forsigtig hedsprincippet vejer mindst lige så tungt.
That is why I hope that we can reach agreement on this here, and when I look around I believe that those present are certainly in agreement and that we will also agree when it comes to the vote that we can take over the standards of those countries that we hope will join the Community for all the other European Community countries.
I de første mange dage efter den 21. december hen over jul og nytår havde man som borger, men også som parlamentsmedlem, kun forhandlernes pressemeddelelser og journalisternes udlægninger af forhandlingsresultatet at holde sig til.
I was very glad to hear the news that the question of the standards of environmental and health protection in the four countries was settled at the negotiations at minister ial level on 21 December last, effectively by agreeing to the demands made by those countries.
Fælles for ansøgerlandenes forhandlere er, at de er langt mere interesseret i medlemskab af Unionen end store dele af deres befolkninger.
I agree with the rapporteur's comments on whaling: that the limited whaling that the Norwegians are doing is not a threat to the minke whale, the particular kind of whale they are whaling.
De var derfor enige om at fremstille det, de havde opnået, som langt mere positivt, end det ser ud til at være, når man nærlæser de tekster, der omsider blev tilgængelige.
But then strangely, at the end of her comments, she said that when they join the EU they should stop whaling.
I den tid ville Unionen arbejde videre på at udvikle sine egne standarder. Dette kunne ansøgerlandene som medlemmer arbejde med på, men Unionen kunne intet garantere med hensyn til resultaterne af forsøgene på at forbedre de gældende bestemmelser.
I hope that the rapporteur will perhaps look at it again.
Ved overgangsperiodens udløb måtte ansøgerlandene acceptere gældende fællesskabsret, selv
Moreover, at the request of the applicant countries, the declaration includes a reference to the fifth Community
Vi siger altså, at miljøfællesskabet er et EF-mål.
Spencer (PPE). - Madam President, I very much support the Bjørnvig report.
Til "disse vælgere siger jeg da også atter og atter, at det ikke passer, men at vi er et miljøfællesskab.
There is an amendment in the name of myself and Mr Valverde welcoming the progress that
Så retter netop tolv medlemsstater sig for en gangs skyld efter de fire nye. Det fungerer akkurat som i den omvendte retning.
In Austria a postcard is being sold by the thousands which shows a blue mouse-trap decorated with the EC stars.
Maher (LDR). - (EN) Fru formand, jeg vil gerne på min gruppes vegne komplimentere ordføreren for hendes betænkning. Hun har fået en stor mængde informationer om alle disse lande med i et meget kort dokument, og det vil jeg gerne sige hende tak for.
Pinheiro, Member of the Commission. - (PT) Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the Commission is delighted at Mrs Bjømvig's excellent report on the environmental aspects of the current accession negotiations with Austria, Finland, Norway and Sweden.
Det er godt, at det forholder sig sådan og ikke omvendt.
was made in these negotiations.
Hvis det modsatte var tilfældet, ville det være meget vanskeligt for disse lande at nå op på vort niveau. Det er bedre, at deres niveau indtil videre generelt er højere end vort.
I look forward to using the four-year period that is announced in the negotiations to review the different levels of environmental relation ship between ourselves and the African countries and reach a common and higher standard on the basis of scientific evidence.
Guidolin (PPE). - (IT) Fru formand, også jeg vil først og fremmest understrege, at ansøgerlandene, i særdeleshed Sverige, Østrig og Norge, er kraftigt engagerede inden for alle sektorer for miljøbeskyttelse, i særdeleshed med hensyn til grænser for emission af forurenende gasser, støj, vurdering af miljøvirkninger, emballage og anvendelse af kunstgødning; i almindelighed med hensyn til naturbeskyttelse.
It is important that we say to our Scandinavian colleagues, who are particularly proud of their environmental record, that there is much that we can learn from each other, that it is not absolutely true that all their standards are higher than ours.
Desuden er industrierne forpligtet til at føre en ret så streng miljøpolitik. F.eks. befinder Østrig sig på meget høje niveauer inden for fire sektorer, Sverige inden for seks og Norge inden for syv.
There is one area that concerns me in particular, and that is whaling, which I do not regard as an example of high standards of environ mental duty.
Disse lande har hele tiden, lige fra begyndelsen, erklæret, at de agter at opretholde deres standarder på højere niveauer.
I am pleased to see that hidden in the Bjørnvig report itself is the suggestion that there should be a ban on whaling in the Community.
Jeg har kun kort tid til rådighed, men jeg vil dog gerne komme med en enkelt specifik kommentar. Det drejer sig om situationen i Norge.
The Commission has great pleasure in informing you that the majority of the questions raised in Mrs Bjørnvig's report have been resolved satisfactorily.
Norge er et land, hvor afgørelsen af, hvorvidt man skal tilslutte sig eller ikke, måske er mere uafklaret end i andre lande.
The solutions found - in our opinion - give an extremely positive answer to the concerns expressed in the report.
Det var derfor med stor tilfredshed, jeg modtog meddelelsen om, at spørgsmålet om standarder for miljø- og sundhedsbeskyttelse i de fire lande blev løst på de forhandlingskonferencer på ministerplan, der holdtes den 21. december sidste år, idet de krav, der blev stillet af disse lande, reelt blev opfyldt.
The ministerial meetings which took place on 21 and 22 December are an important step forward in the accession negotiations.
Blandt de punkter, som der blev opnået enighed om - det vil jeg gerne understrege - er der en fælles erklæring, der skal knyttes som bilag til den endelige tiltrædelsesakt.
A global solution was finally found, in accordance with the guidelines proposed by the Commission, to the extremely tricky questions of the free move ment of goods and environmental standards.
I denne erklæring forpligter de kontraherende parter sig til at virke for et højt sundheds- og miljøbeskyttelsesniveau, og der er - exceptionelt og for konkrete tilfælde - opnået enighed om en procedure for gennemgang af den gælden de fællesskabsret, »acquis communautaire«, som de nye medlemsstater skal deltage i på de vilkår og betingelser, der måtte blive præciseret i tiltrædelsestraktaterne.
The applicant countries can keep their higher environmental standards in force for a transition period of four years during which community legislation will be examined in accord ance with the European Community's normal procedures and with the full participation of the new Member States.
Jeg er enig i ordførerens udtalelser om hvalfangst: At den begrænsede hvalfangst, man har i Norge, ikke er en trussel mod vågehvalen, den specielle hvalart, man fanger.
Grund (NI). - (DE) Madam President, ladies and gentle men, environmental policy is no longer just one policy area among many but is beginning to occupy an increasingly important place.
Men så siger hun mærkeligt nok i slutningen af sin kommentar, at når Norge optages i EU, så bør hvalfangsten ophøre.
The environmental conditions could even determine the results of the referendums in the applicant countries.
Jeg beklager, at hun har taget dette med, for jeg tror, at det er et stort problem for nordmændene. Jeg håber ikke dette punkt bliver stående i dokumentet.
Given the sensitivity of nature in northern Europe and the Alps it is essential for these states to maintain their at times higher environmental standards.
Jeg håber, at dette kan fjernes.
In order to prevent the worst from happening, these articles should definitely be applied in the event of accession.
Jeg håber, at ordføreren måske vil overveje det igen.
But Article 36 can be applied only for so long as no common directive exists in this legal area.
På begæring af ansøgerlandene indeholder erklæringen desuden en henvisning til Fællesskabets femte miljø handlingsprogram.
The Commission would nevertheless like to remind you that the solution now found depends on the entire enlargement negotiations being concluded satisfactorily.
Jeg har nævnt dette dokument, denne vedføjede erklæring, fordi jeg betragter det som et meget vigtigt faktum, og sammen med de andre punkter anser jeg denne aftale for at være et meget positivt valg, først og fremmest af to grunde.
Two big environmental questions remain pending how ever and require subsequent negotiation.
For det første fordi det betyder, at man griber en enestående lejlighed til at harmonisere EU's miljøbeskyttelsesstandarder på stedse højere niveauer.
These are first ly, the problem of the protection of Norwegian fauna, which particularly includes whaling, and secondly, the extremely delicate question of transalpine transit in Austria, which has important environmental implications.
Disse landes erfaring kan være en stor berigelse for hele Fællesskabet med henblik på en stedse højere livskvalitet.
Both issues are about to be debated at the moment in the Council, whilst contacts between the Commission and these two countries are being maintained on these two issues for which a solution has not yet been found.
Spencer (PPE). - (EN) Fru formand, jeg støtter i høj grad Bjørnvig-betænkningen. Der er stillet et ændringsforslag i mit og hr. Valverdes navn, hvor vi glæder os over de fremskridt, der er gjort under disse forhandlinger.
But how can the applicant countries be sure that a subsequently drafted directive would incorporate their higher environmental standards and not be voted down in the Council, leaving them to bow to a common average?
Jeg ser frem til at bruge den periode på fire år, som man har talt om under forhandlingerne, til at gennemgå de forskellige niveauer for den miljømæssige forbindelse mellem os og de afrikanske lande og nå et fælles, højere niveau på grundlag af videnskabelige beviser.
The negotiated interim period of four years during which the applicant countries may retain their environmental standards could prove a mere sedative aimed at the referendums.
Der er et område, der bekymrer mig specielt, og det er hvalfangsten, som jeg ikke betragter som et eksempel på høje normer for forpligtelserne over for miljøet.
The vague hope that after this interim period a common standard may be found that could also be achieved by raising the standards in the EC is no guarantee for the applicant countries.
Den anden grund er politisk.
President. - The debate is closed.
Grund (NI). - (DE) Fru formand, mine damer og herrer, miljøpolitik er ikke mere et politisk område blandt mange, men den indtager i stigende grad en vigtig plads.
(The sitting was suspended at 11.30 p.m.) (')
Under disse omstændigheder kunne betingelserne på miljøområdet meget vel blive udslaggivende for resultatet af folkeafstemningerne i ansøgerlandene.
For instance, even now we hear our Parliament's Com mittee on Transport and Tourism say that it is absolutely unacceptable to retain the transit agreement with Austria.
Det er på grund af naturens sårbarhed i Nordeuropa og i Alperegionen absolut nødvendigt, at disse stater kan bevare deres

There are 14 amendments, which I hope the House will adopt.
Fuchs (PSE). - (FR) Hr. formand, Den Socialistiske Gruppe vil ligeledes støtte denne anmodning om uopsættelig forhandling.
Bangemann, Vice­president of the Commission. — (DE) Mr President, let me immediately endorse what the rapporteur and above all Mr Herman have just said.
Der er her to tekster, som Rådet omsider har kunnet blive enig om efter de vanskelige drøftelser i Den Europæiske Union om GATT-forhand-lingerne.
We have here a proposal which is in fact of importance not only for the subject­matter dealt with in the directive but is crucial, a kind of foundation stone almost, for the structure that we have depicted in the white paper, given that a substantial part of the activities covered in the white paper relate to telecommunications.
Vi mener, at disse tekster ganske enkelt bringer os på lige fod med nogle af vore mægtigste partnere og at det derfor er yderst vigtigt for udviklingen af en afbalanceret verdenshandel, at de træder i kraft hurtigt.
We will not, however, make progress in the telecommunications sec­tor unless we are able to organize the main, or at least some, areas of this sector in such a way that access for private suppliers becomes profitable.

This looks as if it will be the first report for which the co­decision procedure will be applied. This is exciting for this Parliament, but also involves very heavy responsibil­ities and we will have to take even greater care in our amendments and in the proposals that we take into the co­decision procedure.

Herman (PPE). ­ (FR) Mr President, as Mrs Read has just pointed out this is one of the first cases where the co­decision procedure applies.

In acquiring new powers, Parliament must use them with discernment and respon­sibility.

Bourlanges (PPE), formand for Budgetkontroludvalget. - (FR) Hr. formand, selv om Rådets anmodning er temmelig aggressivt formuleret og fra Rådets side følges op af en række procedurer, som skal forhindre Parlamentet i at få adgang til den information, det har brug for, går Budgetkontroludvalget ind for uopsættelig forhandling, for det mener sig teknisk i stand til at afgive sin udtalelse om denne udnævnelse og det agter at besvare Rådets aggressive holdning med Parlamentets klarhed og ro.
Because in addition to discussing the legal aspects and technical provisions fully in committee, we are now in a position to demonstrate consistency between the legislative provi­sions we are adopting on the one hand, and the objectives we are pursuing in the White Paper on the other.
Udvalget har allerede vedtaget sit forslag til udtalelse og kan derfor om nødvendigt sætte det under afstemning i denne uge.
We agree with some of them, but others are not perhaps necessary: the issue, for instance, of how to proceed against Member States which do not comply with direc­tives.
