Vi oplever det stik modsatte, fordi de visa, som faktisk ikke mere må udstedes, de udstedes i stigende grad.
Furthermore, Mr President, Mr Commissioner, the Liberal Group remains in favour of the oil embargo.
Vores anmodning om at iværksætte en olieembargo imødekommes ikke.
It is the only way to punish this country effectively.
Vecchi (PSE). - (IT) Hr. formand, den alvorligste trussel mod samhørigheden i de internationale forbindelser er den stadige fristelse til at være stærk over for de svage og svag over for de stærke.
Vecchi (PSE). - (IT) Mr President, the most serious threat to consistency in international relations is the permanent temptation to be strong towards the weak and weak towards the strong.
Der kan ikke herske tvivl om, at regimet i Nigeria hører til kategorien de stærke.
There is no doubt that the regime in Nigeria falls into the category of the strong.
Stærk, ikke hvad fornuft angår, som det helt mangler, men bestemt militært og økonomisk.
Strong not in reason, which is totally lacking, but certainly in military and economic power.
Nigeria er et rigt land, hvor en stor del af befolkningen imidlertid lever i absolut elendighed, eftersom landets ressourcer, især provenuet fra olieeksporten, udnyttes til at holde en militær klike og dens trofaste allierede og tjenere i vild luksus.
Macartney (ARE). - Mr President, we seem to have had a whole catalogue of missed chances in the last few months.
Hory (ARE). - (FR) Hr. formand, under mødeperioden i juni fordømte vi militærkuppet i Sierra Leone og henstillede, at man indstillede al EU-bistand til Freetown-regi-met; vi undrede os ligeledes over den rolle som rettens og demokratiets gendarm, som Nigeria var blevet tildelt.
First of all the Commonwealth Summit in Edinburgh failed to take firm action against Nigeria; then the Council extended sanctions by only one year; and then, as has been mentioned, there was the failure to apply visa restrictions with Nigeria being allowed to play in the World Cup next year.
Allerede gennem nogen tid er der med god grund vedtaget sanktioner over for Nigeria.
All of these are failures on our part, as members of the European Union, and failures by the Commonwealth.
Siden denne beslutning har Den Europæiske Union med delt, at EU-bistanden vil blive indstillet, og Sikkerhedsrådet har iværksat olie- og våbenembargo over for Sierra Leone og forbudt juntaens medlemmer at rejse til udlandet.
Nigeria is a rich country where a large part of the population lives in conditions of total poverty, as the country's resources, particularly the income from oil exports, are used to keep a military clique and its loyal allies and servants in total luxury.
Listen over det nigerianske regimes forbrydelser er nu meget lang.
So what is to be done now?
Hory bud for medlemmerne af militærjuntaen og indlede en våben- og olieembargo for på denne måde at tvinge juntaen til at genoptage demokratiseringsprocessen.
Finally, an agreement to return to democracy appears to have been reached between the junta and the Committee of Five of the States of Western Africa.
af økonomiske og sociale problemer fremkaldt af en, som det ofte er tilfældet, alt for voldsom strukturtilpasningsplan.
The democratic process in Sierra Leone has been described as exemplary, but we have left that country alone to cope with a thousand and one economic and social problems caused, as is often the case, by too rapid a programme of a structural change.
Dermed har vi udsat Sierra Leone for et statskup, som uundgåeligt vil blive gentaget i fremtiden.
We therefore exposed Siena Leone to a coup, which cannot fail to repeat itself tomonow.
Som en afrikansk journalist skrev: »Vesten forstår at sælge demokratiets idé, men den forstår ikke, at der skal ydes service efter salget.«
As one African journalist phrased it: 'The West sells democracy, but it does not provide any after-sales service.'
Vecchi (PSE). - (IT) Hr. formand, Sierra Leone er et land, hvor situationen i løbet af de seneste år er gået mere og mere i opløsning, såvel på det politiske plan som med hensyn til befolkningens levevilkår.
However, the electoral process used in the country is nothing more than a despicable farce, given that it is impossible for any opposition to take part.
Maij-Weggen (PPE). - (NL) Hr. formand, befolkningen i Sierra Leone oplever en forfærdelig tid.
Vecchi (PSE). - (IT) Mr President, Siena Leone is a country where the situation has been getting worse in recent years, both politically and in terms of living conditions for the population.
Efter tre statskup er landet gået helt af led, idet der på bolig-, undervisnings- og sundhedsområdet er anrettet store skader, og fødevareforsyningen er meget dårlig.
On this occasion too, the European Parliament has many requests to make to the Nigerian authorities.
200.000 mennesker trues af hungerdøden i selve landet, og yderligere 200.000 mennesker befinder sig i det nordlige Ghana og Elfenbenskysten. benskysten.
We strongly support all of them but we fear that, if the international community, starting with the European Union, fails to take the appropriate pressure measures, they will once again risk falling on deaf ears.
Den 25. maj i år afbrød endnu et militært statskup den allerede vanskelige og skrøbelige interne forhandlingsproces i landet samt forsøgene på at genoprette acceptable betingelser for demokratisk liv.
On 25 May last, the umpteenth military coup intenupted the already difficult and fragile internal negotiation process in the country and the attempts to restore acceptable democratic living conditions.
Nationalforsamlingen, som var valgt ved valgene den 16. marts 1996, blev opløst, og enhver myndighed er blevet koncentreret hos den militærjunta, som er ved magten.
The National Assembly, that had been elected at the elections on 16 March 1996, was dissolved and all authority was concentrated on the military junta in power.
Den situation præget af vold og opgivelse, som hersker i landet, bringer selve den fysiske overlevelse af hundrede tusinder af mennesker i fare, og en større del af dets indbyggere er i dag evakueret eller flygtet.
The situation of violence and abandonment existing in the country is jeopardizing the actual survival of hundreds of thousands of people, and a substantial number of its inhabitants are now living as evacuees or refugees.
Da vi for nylig besøgte landet, hørte vi også, hvor alvorlig situationen faktisk er.
Maij-Weggen (PPE). - (NL) Mr President, Nigeria is once more on our agenda as a result of the continuous violations of human rights and violations of democratic principles.
Heldigvis hjælper Den Europæiske Union i lejrene, men det ser i mellemtiden ud til, at der er brug for mere hjælp.
Once more, because we have criticized this country many times before, but regrettably it has not really helped very much.
På det plan ønsker vi at anspore Kommissionen til at tage flere politiske initiativer, særligt med hensyn til at støtte de fredsforhandlinger, der for nylig er påbegyndt. Jeg vil dertil lige bemærke, at der i Sierra Leone er nigerianske soldater for at bevare roen.
In the meantime new reports come our way like the death of one of the confidants of Mr Abacha, who with forty other political prisoners was incarcerated in rough conditions in a prison near Enubu, 500 kilometres from for example healthcare facilities.
Den Europæiske Union har her en god opgave.
It is the umpteenth drama in a long series.
Beslutningen indeholder en række forslag, som vi gerne støtter.
The time has truly come to step us the measures.
Også i dette tilfælde har det internationale samfund, især gennem de foranstaltninger, der er vedtaget af De For enede Nationers sikkerhedsråd, interveneret for at søge at skabe betingelser for en politisk løsning.
The international community has intervened here as well, particularly through the measures adopted by the UN Security Council, to try and build the conditions for a political solution.
Især de sanktioner, der er besluttet under disse omstændig heder, er relevante og bør gennemføres og respekteres af alle landene, naturligvis begyndende med dem i regionen, men også i Den Europæiske Union.
In particular, the sanctions decided in those circumstances are significant and should be applied and observed by all countries, obviously starting with those in the region, but the European Union as well.
Bertens (ELDR). - (NL) Hr. formand, vores gruppe, den liberale gruppe, håber, at vi i dag i enighed vil afgive et klart signal om misbilligelse til den kroatiske regering.
The Peace Agreement, signed on 23 October, could provide a positive reference point, if actually accepted by all the parties in question and if its application is control led.
Regeringen Tudjman undergraver på mange måder demokratiet og ytringsfriheden. Livet gøres surt for uafhængige aviser som Globus og Feral Tribune, og ikkestatslige organisationer som Helsinki Committee og Open Society Institute belemres i deres virke.
A positive reference point for beginning to get the country out of its cunent dramatic situation.
Et positivt udgangspunkt for at begynde at få landet ud af den dramatiske situation, hvori det befinder sig.
Worse still, Shell, which has been reducing its activities in Nigeria, is being replaced by other oil companies, which are keen to fill up the gap left by Shell.
Vi anmoder derfor Kommissionen og Rådet om at iværksætte ethvert muligt initiativ for at bidrage til en positiv politisk udvikling i situationen i Sierra Leone.
We therefore ask the Commission and Council to take all possible initiatives to contribute towards a positive political development of the situation in Sierra Leone.
Kritik fra Europarådet, fra OSCE og fra Unionen negligeres systematisk.
I think an oil boycott must indeed be unavoidable.
Jeg tror ikke, at præsident Tudjman virkelig forventer, at det internationale samfund ønsker at fortsætte med Kroatien på denne måde.
I would like to know what Mr Brittan thinks about this.
Jeg behøver kun at minde om, at blandt andet USA's regering tidligere på året gik ind for, at Kroatiens medlem skab af Europarådet blev suspenderet.
We then ask the Commission, through the international agencies and the NGO, to develop humanitarian aid and particularly the protection of populations in difficulties, particularly refugees and evacuees.
Den liberale gruppe har allerede udtalt sig positivt herfor. Hver gang vi behandler situationen i Kroatien, viser det sig, at antallet af grunde for denne suspension blot er steget.
Hory (ARE). - (FR) Mr President, during the June part-session, we censured the military coup in Siena Leone and suggested the suspension of all European aid to the Freetown regime, and we were also surprised that Nigeria was entrusted with the role of gendarme of law and democracy.
Til sidst, hr. formand, Unionen må i mellemtiden støtte den videre udvikling af demokratiet, de frie medier og de ikkestatslige organisationer inden for rammerne af PHARE-demokratiseringsprogrammet.
Since that resolution, the European Union has confirmed the suspension of European aid, and the Security Council
Telkämper (V). - (DE) Hr. formand, dele af Sierra Leones stridskræfter begik statskup den 25. maj.
Telkämper (V). - (DE) Mr President, on 25 May sections of the Siena Leone armed forced staged a revolt.
De afsatte den demokratisk valgte præsident Kabbah og tvang ham til at flygte. Det var det tredje statskup siden 1992.
They deposed the democratically elected President Kabbah and forced him to flee the country.
Den demokratiseringsproces, der blev indledt af de civile myndigheder og rebellerne fra Den Forenede Revolutionære Front i marts 1996, og som netop også mundede ud i, at der blev afholdt frie valg med deltagelse af flere partier, er blevet lammet.
The process of démocratisation introduced by the civil authorities and by the rebels of the United Revolutionary Front in March 1996, which also led to the holding of free elections with several parties' participating, was destroyed.
Hvordan er det muligt?
The result, according to the
Men netop fordi Kroatien er orienteret mod Europa og derfor er interesseret i en tilnærmelsesproces, det er i hvert fald altid det, der forlyder, må Europa-Parlamentet være strengt på dette område og fastlægge tilsvarende kriterier.
And how could this be done? I think that we should avoid assisting the military junta in any way and should instead support the demands of the UN Safety Council for the imposition of an arms and oil embargo in order to force the junta back to the démocratisation process.
der overalt i det civile samfund.
difficult situation.
Især hvad angår de elektroniske midler, forventer vi, at der snart realiseres ægte offendig-retligt fjernsyn.
After a war which has seen the repatriation of refugees, still tending towards nationalism, I can well understand why democracy has not been able to develop fully.
De regerendes stærke følsomhed over for berettigede eller usande kritiske artikler i de forskellige presseorganer fører ofte til overdrevne reaktioner, som vi fordømmer.
But it is a matter for particular regret that unfortunately, as we witnessed during our delegation's visit, justified complaints are increasingly common that serious problems exist in respect of press freedom.
Efter besøget foreslog jeg også selv, at vi netop i forbin delse med PHARE-programmet overvejer at bevilge endnu flere penge med pålægning af forhåndstilpasningskrav, hvis Kroatien altså ønsker det, og hvis Kroatien også træffer aktive foranstaltninger med henblik på demokrati, integration af flygtningene etc.
Deal ing with the media is never easy in any country, and certainly not in one which is in the grip of a social crisis. But it is because Croatia has avowed allegiance to the European ideal, and seeks a rapprochement with us - or at least that is what is being declared - that the European Parliament must be strict in its dealings and must apply certain criteria.
Den nye forsamlings- og organisationsret er dog i over ensstemmelse med europæiske standarder.
Maij-Weggen (PPE). - (NL) Mr President, the population of Siena Leone is experiencing disastrous times.
Det har kun givet problemer for Soros-Foundation, da den nu mister sine hidtidige privilegier. I dag skal Open Society Foundation nemlig også registreres som en fond, og det vil den ikke.
200,000 people in the country itself are threatened with famine, as are 200,000 in the north of Ghana and the Ivory Coast.
Så meget mere beklager jeg, at de positive svar, vi netop som europaparlamentarikere har forsøgt at give, ikke også virkelig har udløst positive reaktioner i Kroatien.
I regret all the more that the positive responses which we as European parliamentarians tried to give are not really being met with positive reactions from the Croatian side.
I den forstand støtter vi selvfølgelig beslutningen og opfordrer Kroatien til virkelig at gøre alt for, at demokratiet kan udfolde sig fuldstændigt.
In this sense we naturally support the resolution and call upon Croatia to do everything in its power to develop a fully democratic State.
Dell'Alba (ARE). - (FR) Hr. formand, jeg vil bruge min taletid til at give udtryk for min støtte til, hvad min kollega og de foregående talere har sagt.
Dell'Alba (ARE). - (FR) Mr President, I will use my speaking time to express, my support for the honourable gentleman and the other speakers.
I Kroatien arbejder der over 1.800 NGO'er.
When we were there recently, we found out how serious the situation was.
Det kræver en regulerende lov, sådan som det også er tilfældet i vores lande. Disse organisationer skal f.eks. kunne dokumentere deres nytte, det vil sige være non profit-organisationer.
Thankfully, the European Union does give some assistance in those camps, but it now looks like more help is needed.
Det lovforslag om de humanitære organisationer, som regeringen har fremsat i det kroatiske parlament, Sabor, er dog stadig mangelfuldt.
I would like to add that in Siena Leone there are Nigerian soldiers to keep the peace.
Vi opfordrer vores kolleger i det kroatiske parlament til at indføre forbedringer ad lovgivningens vej i form af ændringsforslag.
Having only just heard what the Nigerians get up to in their country, and that these people come under the military authority of Nigeria, it is not difficult to imagine that they are not the best people to restore peace in that country.
Jeg tror nemlig, at vi i dette Parlament nærer et mere eller mindre stærkt ønske om, at de lande, der har som mål en dag at blive medlem af Den Europæiske Union, respekterer menneskerettighederne, og mener, at vi skal prøve at indgive dem viljen hertil.
I think it is true that in this House we feel that we want and that we try to ensure that the European countries whose ambition it is one day to become members of the European Union respect human rights.
Vi betragter det derfor som en venskabelig handling over for det kroatiske folk at erindre det om dets forpligtelser, fordi disse efter vores opfattelse udgør hovedgrundlaget for vores dialog med de lande, der, for nu at gentage det, har som mål en dag at blive medlem af Den Europæiske Union.
We consider it therefore a gesture of friendship towards the Croatian people to remind them of their obligations, because in our eyes, they are the essential basis of the dialogue with countries which, I repeat, are destined to become members of the European Union.
Der er sket en vigtig begivenhed i dag, idet to, netop kroatiske, personer, som Den Internationale Domstol an klager for krigsforbrydelser, er blevet anholdt.
Bertens (ELDR). - (NL) Mr President, our group, the Liberal Group, hopes that we will be able to give the Croatian government a clear and unanimous sign of disapproval.
Det er et betydningsfuldt tegn på, at Kroatien en dag, efter at have tilsluttet sig princippet om overholdelse af de grundlæggende menneskerettigheder, kan blive fuldt integreret i Europa, hvilket jeg går ind for.
Things are made very difficult for independent newspapers such as Globus and Feral Tribune; and nongovernmental organi zations such as the Helsinki Committee and the Open Society Institute are obstructed in their work.
Det ser ud til, at beretningerne fra Kroatien er mere negative.
An important event has taken place today.
Det ser ud til, at foreningslovene misbruges, men når jeg lytter til fru Pack, så er billedet måske et andet.
I mean the anest of two war criminals, in fact, two Croatian war criminals, indicted by the international court.
Det er ud fra denne holdning, vi har fremsat dette beslutningsforslag i håb om, at Parlamentet om lidt vil vedtage det.
It is in this spirit that we proposed this resolution, in the hope that the Parliament will shortly adopt it.
Tiden er derfor inde til at ringe med alarmklokkerne og kræve, at lovene ikke misbruges, og at medierne får frit spil.
The technique used is one the hand to summon people or institutions, and on the other hand to threaten them with financial compensations which are being claimed.
Aelvoet (V). - (NL) Censuren i Kroatien, hr. formand, er forbudt ved lov, men intimideringen foregår i stor måle stok: intimidering af uafhængige blade, uafhængige journalister og uafhængige organisationer. Den teknik, der anvendes, består enten i at trække disse mennesker eller instanser for retten eller ved at true dem med økonomiske sanktioner.
These are a few examples of the systematic policy of violation of international agreements which Croatia, too, signed, and violations of the rules of organizations of which Croatia is a member. Criticism from the Council of Europe, the OSCE, and the Union are systematically ignored.
Amadeo (NI). - (LT) Hr. formand, repræsentanterne for Alleanza Nazionale støtter det fælles forslag.til beslutning om Kroatien og vil stemme for, fordi vi er overbevist om, at trods myndighedernes forsikringer og trods udtalelserne, der formentlig skyldes sentimentale og historiografiske motiver hos en autoritativ repræsentant for Parlamentet, er ytringsfriheden og nogle basale udtryk for frihed stærkt begrænset i landet.
Finally, Mr President, the Union must in the meantime devote itself to further development of democracy, free media and nongovernmental organizations as part of the Phare democracy programme.
Konkret kører der i øjeblikket 100 sager mod Globus, 45 mod Feral Tribune, 32 mod National og 51 mod Novilus.
Specifically at the moment, 100 cases are running against Globus, 45 against Feral Tribune, 32-against National, 51 against Novilus.
Mod Cisak, formanden for Croatian Helsinki Committee, kører der 7 sager.
There are 7 cases against Mr Cisak, the chairman of the Croatian Helsinki Committee.
Han trues med seks måneders fængsel.
He is threatened with six months imprisonment.
Det er der således en reel chance for.
So this possibility is very real.
Og selvom præsident Tudjman forsikrer Europa, at Kroatien vil være bolværket mod den islamiske fundamentalisme, er dette ikke nok, og det bør ikke være undskyld ningen for at tage let på respekten for de fundamentale rettigheder og for at krænke ytringsfriheden, foreningsfriheden og den frie udveksling af tanker.
Swoboda (PSE). - (DE) Mr President, Mr Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, Croatia is without doubt in a
Det er altsammen klart politisk motiveret, den slags optræden.
These kinds of actions are.all clearly politically motivated, these kind of actions.
For det er netop det, det drejer sig om.
In that sense I regret that the words
Når jeg tager alt dette i betragtning, kan jeg kun komme til den konklusion, at Kroatien ganske vist skal forfine demokratiet, men at det i hvert fald ikke kan lære ret meget af Parlamentet.
Pack (PPE). - (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, my Party supports this resolution because we too wish to assist Croatia in developing the type of society which we in Europe accept as normal.
Albanien von Habsburg (PPE). - (DE) Hr. formand, jeg læste den beslutning, som blev forelagt her, med nogen fornøjelse, for netop den avis, som jeg arbejder for, nævnes her som et objekt for forfølgelse.
von Habsburg (PPE). - (DE) Mr President, it gave me great pleasure to read the resolution before us here today. For it is the very newspaper for which I work which is being portrayed as the object of persecution.
At »Globus« rent faktisk er en af Kroatiens skarpeste oppositionsaviser, der anvender en tone over for den kroatiske regering, der ikke tolereres i visse andre lande, heller ikke i demokratiske lande, det ved jeg udmærket, fordi jeg har ret meget med redaktionen at gøre.
I know only too well that Globus is in fact one of Croatia's keenest opposition papers, that it criticizes the Croatian Govern ment in a manner which would not be tolerated in certain other countries, even democratic ones.
At der er indledt en sag mod Globus, mener jeg endda slet ikke er uberettiget, for jeg kender nogle af Kroatiens demokratiske nabolande, hvor der også skal foregå sådanne ting, hvor redaktører af visse aviser endda må træde tilbage, fordi de har fornærmet en regeringschef.
I know this be cause I have a lot to do with the editorship of this newspaper I do not even consider it unreasonable that action has been taken against Globus, since I am aware of a number of democratic countries close to Croatia in which similar events have also been reported, where editors of certain newspapers have even.had to resign because they have offended the head of government.
Habsburg-Lothringen (PPE). - (DE) Hr. formand, hr. kommissær, jeg vil gerne starte med at sige følgende: Der har været nogle problemer med oversættelsen af beslutningen.
The new right of association and assembly is now in line with European standards. Foundations in Croatia can now exist quite happily under the new system.
Jeg udfærdigede den på tysk, og jeg skrev om et mordforsøg i Parlamentet, og det blev oversat til mord på alle andre sprog.
Only the Soros Foundation has problems with this, since it has now lost its former privileges.
Jeg vil derfor kun sige en ting: Selvfølgelig - og det har hr. Swoboda sagt meget godt - har Kroatien gevaldige problemer.
I would just like to make one point. As Mr Swoboda has stated so effectively, Croatia faces enormous difficulties.
