Internationalisering og globalisering vækker bekymring, den finansielle uro, først i Sydøstasien, derefter i Japan, Latinamerika og Rusland, men også på Amerikas og Europas børser giver indtryk af, at verdensøkonomien ikke længere kan styres.
We in the European Parliament, the Members and the Commission will gladly help to promote the project of European integration in the interest of all our citizens. But without doubt it is primarily up to you, up to the natiorial governments to do so.
Medina Ortega (PSE). - (ES) Fru formand, nu, hvor vi diskuterer Unionens stilling, er det passende at drage en sammenligning mellem Unionen og en gotisk domkirke, og formanden for Rådet ved udmærket, hvad en gotisk domkirke er, for han har en af de smukkeste gotiske dom kirker i Europa.
Herzog (GUE/NGL). - (FR) Madam President, we appreciate the desire of the President-in-Office of the Council to make progress towards a genuine political union, in order to promote employment and the development of the social model.
De gotiske domkirker blev til gennem mange generationer. Man begyndte i én stil og sluttede i en anden.
Yet we cannot help but point out the discrepancy between his intentions and the behaviour of our institutions in the face of current problems.
Jeg mener, at Den Europæiske Union faktisk i øjeblikket er en gotisk domkirke, fordi den desuden er ved at blive bygget op: Vi har søjler, som der ikke er noget, der støtter sig til, vi har gangbroer, der ingen steder fører hen, og desuden har vi områder, der ikke er dækket af no gen form for fællesskabsfond.
We believe that it is particularly essential for the European institutions to assume their responsibilities in the face of the in ternational financial crisis and the very real slowing down in growth that is bound to ensue.
Jeg mener, at der i de forskellige indlæg - indlægget fra formanden for Parlamentet, ind
The Member States have been guilty of maintaining a feeling of euphoria by saying that the euro marks the end
Markedet reagerer stadig mindre rationelt og beviser, hvordan de økonomiske systemer er blevet afhængige af hinanden.
Collins, Gerard (UPE). - Madam President, the out come of the debate now under way on the financing of the European Union's annual budget is of fundamental importance to the future direction of the Union over the coming years.
Men alligevel, til trods for denne almene krisefornemmelse, dæmpes pessimismen ved, at Europa om kring sit euroområde har kunnet opretholde en høj grad af
The recent direction which this debate has taken is profoundly depressing for those of us who want to see a European Union which is capable of having a positive impact on the development not just of the present 15 Member States but also on the new democracies in Central and Eastern Europe which have applied for membership of our Union.
Hvem ville for nogle år siden have troet, det var muligt, at de svageste valutaer i Det Europæiske Monetære System ville holde stand mod spekulationer og dollarens kursforskelle?
But so far the political statements about fighting mass un employment have not been followed by deeds. No sign so far of a coordinated economic policy, of an end to fiscal and social dumping throughout Europe!
Vores lande har sammen genvundet den monetære suverænitet, som de hver især havde mi stet.
Council summits are increasingly turning into a bazaar of conflicting na tionalist interests.
Det er efter min mening ikke tilstrækkeligt at afholde store konferencer, hvor der kun udveksles slagord, det er ganske vist tv-egnet, men resultatløst.
The present circumstances force us to review the effects of the budgetary stability pact and the EU's monetary policy on the different national situations.
Derfor vil jeg geme, hr. forbundsklansler og hr. rådsformand, klart fast holde én ting om Pörtschach: Den Europæiske Unions mål, tidsplaner og konkrete projekter er jo alle en given ting.
The Community is going to have to take initiatives to support economic activity and, in particular, to create plans for sustainable development.
Det, der mangler, er modet til at træffe beslutninger, nemlig de nationale regeringers mod.
What we need is genuine coordination of economic policies, with democratic con trols.
Den Europæiske Unions problem er ikke den så ofte nævnte centralisme i Bruxelles, men de nationale regeringers og dermed Rådets svaghed, når det gælder beslutninger, og manglende evne til at løse problemerne.
We must get the instruments of solidarity working and the Union must, as a matter of urgency, define its' views on how to regulate the global economy.
Jeg tror, at vi nu er i stand til at indgå nye forpligtelser.
Mr President-in-Office, there are some things we do know about the future of Europe.
Vi må nu give de 11 medlemsstater, som deltager i den fælles valuta, euroen, en status uden for vores grænser, navnlig med hensyn til G7, hvorved euroen virkelig begynder at tælle med inden for verdens handelen. Jeg anmoder også om en politisk impuls med henblik på udvidelsesforhandlingerne.
We know that it can only succeed as a democracy, that it must overcome the division of Europe, that it can only flourish in a climate of social peace.
Jeg håber, at be vidstheden om gensidig betydning fortsat vil eksistere.
The Pörtschach summit will be measured by whether it takes practical steps to open the door to this future a little wider.
Et klart ja til udvidelsen af Den Europæiske Union, og det skal ske på de betingelser, vi selv har opstillet i Europa, på et tidspunkt, hvor landene er i stand til at opfylde disse forpligtelser, selvom det kommer til at koste noget politisk og finansielt.
We are led to believe that 'euroland' would keep France safe from the chaos of the world, from the threat of an international recession, and from the fluctuations on the foreign exchange markets.
En klar bekendelse til en reform af institutionerne, til en forbedring af vores beslutningsstrukturer, så vi fortsat kan være beslutningsdygtige, og et klart ja til en fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik, som virkelig fortjener dette navn, af hensyn til freden på dette kontinent og i verden.
In reality, all the forecasts of economic growth are currently being re vised downwards, not only in France but also in Ger many, and we might wonder whether the 3 % government deficit target will be met in 1999.
Jeg tror, at vores medborgere også fortsat vil tillægge de to elementære friheder, frihed og sikkerhed, stor betydning.
In order to pursue these objectives, we recommend a form of joint responsibility between the Council, the Commission and our parliamentary bodies.
Fri bevægelighed for personer og arbejdstagere, uden at behøve være bange for kriminalitet og manglende sikkerhed. Dette ligger til grund for vores demokratiske system.
The resolution by the Committee on Institutional Affairs is right to recommend qualified majority voting and to balance subsidiarity with solidarity.
Vores gruppe spørger, om det ikke er muligt, at harmoniseringen af lovgivningen om den nationale sikkerhed fremskyndes.
The Commission cannot move for ward without a Council that assumes its political responsibilities.
Den Europæiske Unions magtcentrum er Rådet, regeringscheferne og de nationale regeringer.
The European Parliament itself has a duty to promote public debate on the basic choices in economic, financial and social policy, in cooperation with the na tional parliaments and the civil society. The House has failed in this task.
De bliver nødt til at handle, de bliver nødt til at træffe beslutninger, og det er her, vores nuværende situation har en brist.
It must therefore reconsider its duties towards citizens, employers and trades union bodies, with a view to allowing them to become more involved in our institutional system.
Derfor min appel om, at De under Deres formandskab blotlægger disse grundlæggende brist.
Voggenhuber (V). - (DE) Madam President, Mr President-in-Office, ladies and gentlemen, you said that the special Pörtschach summit should consider the future of Europe.
Vi, Europa-Parlamentet, med lemmerne og Kommissionen vil geme i alle borgeres in teresse bistå med at fremme projektet europæisk integration. Men det er primært op til Dem og de nationale regeringer. ringer.
But the list of subjects on the agenda tells us that it is more likely to discuss everything and anything.
Prioriteterne med henblik på Pörtschach og Wien er meget tydelige for os. Vi er klar over, at Unionen uden stærke og demokratiske institutioner i fremtiden med 27 medlemsstater bærer spiren til forringelse af det, der er opbygget i løbet af halvtreds år.
On the subject of international economic relations, we should remember the statements made at the Uruguay Round, that $100 billion or $200 billion of additional wealth would be created in 10 years, particularly in South-East Asia and in the emerging countries, from which Europe would undoubtedly profit.
Collins, Gerard (UPE). - (EN) Fru formand, resultatet af denne debat om finansiering af Den Europæiske Unions årsbudget er af grundlæggende betydning for Unionens fremtidige retning i de kommende år.
But, fortunately, we are protected by the Maastricht Treaty and the Treaty of Amsterdam, which will in future enable the people of Europe to do together whatever they no longer want to.do alone.
Den drejning, som debatten har taget, er meget deprimerende for de af os, der ønsker en Union, som har en positiv virkning på udviklingen, ikke blot for de nuværende 15 medlemsstater, men også for de nye demokratier i Central- og Østeuropa, som har ansøgt om medlemskab af Unionen.
In any case, with or without a legal pretext, you' know that France's leaders will give you what you dare not even ask for, without asking for an ything in return, and once you have it, you will hear these socalled leaders claim the fact that they have not asked for anything in return as a success for France.
Vi forventer, at Parlamentet vil få nye lovgivende beføjelser, og at det bærer det nye ansvar for udnævnelsen af Kommissionen.
Mr President-in-Office, when politicians consider the future they should remember the promises they have made to the people and the tasks to be tackled in the present.
Vi synes, at det ville være rimeligt, at Rådet accepterer, at forhandlingerne indledes om statutten for medlemmerne af Parlamentet.
The people are still waiting, while the Council is not even able to make its legislation visible.
Vi afholder i de tre institutioner altid en positiv debat om Unionens stilling.
It has promised us since Amsterdam to remove the internal barriers to EU enlarge ment.
Jeg på min side vil i dag hylde ham og sige, at hans budskab må ac
Instead, it tends to fuel fears about enlargement towards the east.
Unionens største succes i forbindelse med fælles politik har været og er fortsat den fælles landbrugspolitik.
Since the decision on monetary union, we have been promised that European integration would be given a so cial dimension, that instead of a market and money-based

the most recent headlines.
Vi må mobilisere de solidariske redskaber, og Unionen må hurtigst muligt fastlægge sin holdning til en regulering af verdens økonomien.
A Union of fraud cases and se cret Council meetings, a Union unable to speak with one voice in foreign policy and take action in a common for eign and security policy; a Union that puts forward a best practice model while unemployment stands at 18 million.
Det ville være forkert og vildledende at fremstille det på anden måde.
So what are we hoping for from Pörtschach? We must start discussing these questions about our future and the institutional issue.
En så grundlæggende ændring af Unionens fælles politikker bør forhindres, ikke blot af dem, der støtter udviklingen af landbruget i Europa, men også af dem, der støtter grund principperne i Den Europæiske Union.
And do not tell us that you are going to wait until everyone has ratified the Treaty of Amsterdam, because, as you well know, for certain countries - and particularly my own - it is not enough to say: ratify first, then we will negotiate.
Agenda 2000forslagene vil medføre en større gennemgang af både strukturfondene og den fælles landbrugspolitik.
We know full well that the issues at stake are very complex, that the deadlines are short, and that the process of enlargement is already under way.
Denne gennemgang bør føre til en reform af både den fælles landbrugspolitik og strukturpolitikkerne som forberedelse til udvidelsen, men også for bedre at tjene interesserne for de personer, der beskæftiger sig med disse politikker i vores medlemsstater.
In order to ratify the Treaty of Amsterdam, some countries, including my own, need.guarantees in terms of the time table and method to be used for this reform of the institutions, for what is contained in the Treaty of Amsterdam today is not enough for us.
Beslutningen fra Udvalget om Institutionelle Spørgsmål går med rette ind for at træffe beslutninger med kvalificeret flertal og foiat subsidiaritet skal opvejes med solidaritet.
The expectations of a political declaration on the subject raised by the subsidiarity letter have accompanied us right up to the special Pörtschach summit.
Men efter vores opfattelse er, det uheldigt, at det tillægger Kommissionen hovedparten af den udøvende magt.
What signals will this special summit send out?
Kommissionen kan ikke løse op gaverne uden et Råd, der lever op til sit politiske ansvar.
Pörtschach is no longer concerned with closeness to the citizens.
Parlamentet har til opgave at uddybe den offentlige debat om de grundlæggende valg af økonomisk, finans- og socialpolitik i samarbejde med medlemmerne af de forskel lige landes parlamenter og det borgerlige samfund.
Any debate on the meaning of subsidiarity has been buried prematurely with the lethal argument of renationalisation.'
Denne opgave har Parlamentet her ikke vist sig voksen.
Pörtschach is concerned with the future of the Union, or so I have read.
Overlevelsen af familielandbrug i alle vores lande trues af en række alvorlige faktorer, som f.eks.
But it does not want any quarrels about Agenda 2000 or net contributors.
BSE-krisen og den ofte uretfærdige konkurrence fra tredjelandenene.
Yet these questions that are to be excluded from the discussion are in fact questions of the future.
Voggenhuber (V). - (DE) Fru formand, hr. formand for Rådet, kære kolleger, på det ekstraordinære topmøde i Pörtschach skal Europas fremtid tages op til overvejelse, sagde De.
We are told that the institutional reform of the Un ion cannot be discussed at Pörtschach because Amsterdam has not yet been ratified.
Men emnelisten viser os, at man nok snarere vil tale om alt og ingenting.
The truth is, in my opinion, that the presidency of the Council is rather relieved to have this as an argument for not opening up a Pandora's box.
Mange af os er bange for, at dette møde vil gå over i Unionens historie som den dyreste sejltur. tur.
I fear that in Pörtschach nobody will be keen to burn their fingers on difficult issues. So they are to be left out of the discussion.
Landbrug og fødevareproduktion er de væsentligste elementer i økonomien for landdistrikter overalt i Unionen.
This could have been a chance to show a little more courage and send out a signal for Europe.
Endelig er den fælles landbrugspolitik af afgørende be tydning for familielandbrugene, og vi må forhindre for søg på at ødelægge eller renationalisere denne politik.
If Pörtschach is to become a summit of missed opportunities, then I would ask you to consider, Mr President-in-Office, that the loss of credibility and sense of disappointment may lead people to ask: 'what for?'.
Hr. rådsformand, når politikkere gør sig overvejelser om fremtiden, bør de huske på de løfter, de har givet befolkningerne, og på de opgaver, som nutiden stiller dem.
Let us now look briefly at the broad institutional guide lines as we would like to see them, on the basis of the pro posals made by the chairman of our Committee on Institutional Affairs.
Siden Maastricht har man lovet os at overvinde det alvorlige demokratiunderskud i Unionen og at styrke parlamentarismen og de retsstatslige princip per.
Well done! You need to follow these deliberations through, transform the Generai Affairs Council into a purely Foreign Affairs and Defence Council, and set up a body to coordinate with senior ministers meeting once a week.
Befolkningerne venter stadig, mens Rådet end ikke er i stand til at sørge for, at dens lovgivning foregår i fuld of fentlighed.
Great emphasis must be laid on this, while the importance of the Ecofin Council must be balanced out.
Herzog (GUE/NGL). - (FR) Fra formand, vi er glade for den fungerende rådsformands vilje til at gå i retning af en ægte politisk union for at fremme beskæftigelsen og ud vikle en social samfundsmodel.
Berès (PSE). - (FR) Madam President, Mr President-in-Office, Mr President of the Commission, ladies and gentlemen, what does the future of the Union depend on? It undoubtedly depends on two major advances.
Men hvordan kan man lade være med at understrege den manglende overens stemmelse mellem hans intentioner og vores institutio ners adfærd i forhold til de foreliggende problemer?
The first is related to the need to define, codify and validate, through democratic consultation, the nature of the contract be tween the Union and its citizens, on the basis of the Euro pean social model and the values we hold dear.
Vi anser det for særlig påkrævet, at EU's institutioner lever op til deres ansvar i forhold til den internationale økonomiske krise og den meget betydelige opbremsning i væk sten, der bliver følgen.
We need to define this contract and establish goals which will allow us to regain the support of the people of Europe, to le gitimize the action we take, to establish a sound basis for the courage needed, and to verify the accession require ments for new members.
Siden Amsterdam har man lovet os at overvinde de indre barrierer for en udvidelse af EU.
We must not over-interpret this or that provision of the Treaties to the benefit of one or other of the institutions.
Vi ved, at det kræver en omfattende reform af EU's institutioner.
That is not the way the Heads of State or Government have chosen to act up until now, and that is. only fair.
Men Rådet har til dato end ikke opstillet en bindende tidsplan.
We simply need a strong Commission and a strong Council.
I stedet gives der ikke sjældent ny næring til bekymringerne over udvidelsen mod øst.
In this respect, we need the Commission to rediscover its sense of collective responsibility and to drop the 'non-aggression pact' which it sometimes seems only too,happy to hide behind.
Til dato ikke no gen koordineret økonomisk politik og ingen ende på skatte- og socialdumping i hele Europa! Rådstopmøder bliver stadig oftere til basarer for nationalistiske interessekampe. sekampe.
We must also provide ourselves with the tools to exercise our responsibility and to assume our dynamic role, in the midst of global chaos, in order to contribute to better regulation. ulation.
De forskellige medlemsstater har opretholdt en skandaløs opstemthed ved at sige, at på grund af euroen kunne vi nu slappe af oven på anstrengelserne, og at euroen ville yde os varig beskyttelse.
I will not say anything on the Euro Council, despite the fact that there is a great deal that could be said, particularly as regards the dialogue that we will have to enter into with it.
Der er her tale om en fuldstændig fejlvurdering, og vi risikerer at den kommende tid bringer svie og smerte.
Given this longterm perspective, what do we expect in the medium term from Pörtschach?
Derfor er det Parlamentets pligt at ruske op i Rådet og Kommissionen.
We do not want any grand declarations. It is an informal European Council· Bravo!
Situationen tvinger os til at omvurdere følgerne af pagten om budgetstabilitet og EU's pengepolitik ud fra de nationale forskelligheder.
Make sure it remains an informal European Council, Mr President; that is what we expect of you.
Hr. rådsformand, vi ved et og andet om Europas fremtid.
I would like to make a last comment on subsidiarity.
Vi ved, at den kun kan lykkes som et europæisk demo-
This principle must not serve as a pretext for renationalisation.
Voggenhuber krati, at den skal overvinde Europas deling og at den kun kan trives i et Europa med social fred.
Salafranca Sánchez-Néyra (PPE). - (ES) Madam President, two questions spring to mind in the context of this debate on the state of the Union and the Pörtschach informal summit.
Topmødet i Pörtschach vil blive målt på, om det gennem konkrete handlinger åbner den dør, der står på klem ud til denne fremtid, en lille smule mere op.
First, what is the true state of the Union, and second, what can we hope for from the Pörtschach informal summit to help us out of the state we are in?
I Pörtschach drejer det sig ikke længere om nærdemokrati.
Myths are a basic ingredient of human life, but what we have to do is to replace false myths with true ones.
Med det dræbende argument renationalisering blev en de bat om indholdet af subsidiariteten allerede på forhånd lagt i graven.
True myths respect reality and yet are not content with it, they do not bring violence to bear on the present situation, but are not satisfied with it and aim higher, grafting our hopes and aspirations onto the present.
I Pörtschach drejer det sig om Unionens fremtid, har jeg læst.
Madam President, what we hope is that, as Mr Martens has said, Europe will not fail to live up to its aspirations to be a world leader in the twenty-first century.
Dog ville man ikke have stridigheder om Agenda 2000 eller nettobidragsyderne.
I believe, following the recent elections in a number of Member States -r and the declarations by the Prime Minister of a certain small but rich Member State which is part of the European Union, threatening to veto the whole of Agenda 2000 if he does not receive a cheque like the British one - that what we are witnessing is, at the very least, a renationalisation of the Community debate.
Men dét er fremtidens spørgsmål, som skal holdes uden for debatten.
Were it to be implemented, the countries of the Union would effectively be on the road towards a 'United States of Europe'.
I Pörtschach kan man ikke tale om den institutionelle reform, da Amsterdamtraktaten endnu ikke er ratificeret.
What is the problem, you might ask. The problem is that there is no demand for any such thing in the Member States.
I virkeligheden, formoder jeg, er det nok slet ikke så ubelejligt for rådsformandskabet, at det med dette argument slipper for at åbne Pandoras æske.
I come from northern Sweden and the calls for a stronger Commission, or for the integration of the WEU, are few and far between.
I Pörtschach, er jeg bange for, har ingen lyst til at brænde sig på varme emner. Ergo udelukkes de.
Opinion polls even show that only a fraction of those Swedes who are in favour of EU membership endorse these further developments.
Fra år til år leverer rapporten om Unionens tilstand det samme budskab, der lyser langt væk af selvtilfredshed.
That is why we should now be demanding across-the-board démocratisation.
Man vil have os til at tro, at »euroland« anbringer Frankrig i ly for de urolige forhold ude i verden, for truslen om international recession, for kurssvingningerne på valutamarkedet.
If we are to have a sound basis upon which to build, national parliaments must, in the foreseeable future, exercise oversight where the real legislative work is being done.
Og der er endda meget, der skal reformeres, også uden traktatændring.
I feel that we are placing far too much emphasis on a par ticular, though nevertheless valid vision of Europe.
Her var der en mulighed for med noget mere mod at hejse et signal for Europa.
Europe, Madam President, is more than this.
