FORSÆDE: Georgios ANASTASSOPOULOS Næstformand
(The sitting was opened at 9 a.m.)
(Mødet åbnet kl. 9.00)
(The Minutes were approved) (')
Formanden. - Protokollen fra mødet i går er omdelt.
President ­ The Minutes of yesterday's sitting have been distributed.
Wijsenbeek (ELDR). - (NL) Hr. formand, når østrigerne nu begynder at forsvare Strasbourg og angribe Bruxelles, og Præsidiet blander sig, og kvæstorerne også vil være med, så ved vi med sikkerhed, at der aldrig vil ske noget.
President. ­ The next item is the statements by the Coun­cil and the Commission on the European Conference of 6 October 1998 in Luxembourg, including the current situ­ation in Malta in connection with enlargement.
Hvis ingen gør indsigelse, betragter jeg den som god kendt.
President ­ Mr Watts, I have taken note of that so that it can be corrected.
Formanden. - Hr. Wijsenbeek, De er ret gammel i denne sal, og vi er i årevis vant til at høre bemærkninger i denne retning fra Deres side, ligesom naturligvis også fra andre kollegers side, der har samme vurdering.
Ferrero­Waldner, President­in­Office of the Council. ­(DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, yesterday the European Conference met for the first time at foreign ministerial level.
Vi vil ikke åbne den diskussion nu.
Turkey had already indicated beforehand that it would not be taking part in the Conference.
Watts (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne henvise til et punkt i protokollen vedrørende min betænkning om færgesikkerhed.
Schierhuber (PPE). ­ (DE) Mr President, this is not re­ally related to the Minutes, but today I must once again draw your attention to a very unpleasant state of affairs in Brussels.
Protokollen angiver, at hr. Papoutsis besvarede mit spørgsmål som svar på hans udtalelse til Par lamentet.
During the working lunch, the situation in the west­ern Balkans, in particular in Kosovo and Albania, was also discussed.
Rent faktisk burde der stå, at hr. Papoutsis påtog sig at besvare mit spørgsmål skriftligt.
I believe that all of us who work in the institutions have a· right to live and work in safe surroundings!
Jeg ville sætte pris på, hvis protokollen blev ændret, således at den-afspejler det særlige løfte, han gav Parlamentet.
This group of experts, known as the COLD Group, was set up by the London European Conference in March of this year and held its first meeting on 10 June in Brussels.
Matikainen-Kallström (PPE). - (Fl) Hr. formand, jeg henviser til det forrige indslag og nævner, at fra Finland er der ikke nogen direkte flyvninger her til Strasbourg, så lad os holde mødet i Bruxelles.
Wijsenbeek (ELDR). ­ (NL) Mr President, if the Austri­ans are starting to defend Strasbourg and attack Brussels, and if the Bureau is dealing with the matter and the Quaestors are starting to get involved, then we know for sure that nothing will ever come of it.
(Protokollen godkendtes) (')
') Documents received ■ Topical and urgent debate (objections): see Minutes.
Schierhuber (PPE). - (DE) Hr. formand, ikke direkte til protokollen, men jeg må igen i dag gøre opmærksom på en meget ubehagelig situation i Bruxelles.
This joint action contains proposals for improving judicial cooperation in the fight against trade in human beings and the sexual exploitation of children.
For to uger si den blev en af mine medarbejdere slået ned kl. 19.30 lige i nærheden af Europa-Parlamentet.
In this context, it was also discussed whether structures to aid cooperation, or networks, already in existence within the European Union, should be extended.
Jeg mener, at det da snart må være muligt, også af hensyn til Bruxelles og Bel gien, at sætte en stopper for disse aktiviteter!
Those participating in the meeting of the group of experts also proposed an extensive list of topics for their further work.
Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er forhandling om Rådets og Kommissionens redegørelser om Euro pakonferencen den 6. oktober 1998 i Luxembourg, lige som den aktuelle situation på Malta i forbindelse med ud videlsen.
A number of the participating states reported on their ex perience of working in this field to the Conference and, at the end of the discussion, the participants agreed to invite the European Conference group of experts on drugs and organised crime to examine in detail, which of the EU's legal instruments the European Conference partner coun tries might be able to adopt.
Jeg vil også gerne henlede opmærksomheden på, at New York engang hørte til blandt de mest usikre byer og på ret kort tid blev en af de sikreste byer.
Under the topic of cross-border organised crime, the Conference participants also discussed the problem of illegal immigrant couriers.
Jeg mener, at alle os, der arbejder i institutionerne, har ret til at leve og arbejde i sikre omgivelser!
This new wave of migration, which is growing every year, has led some countries to tighten their immigration laws.
Ferrero-Waldner, formand for Rådet. - (DE) Hr. for mand, mine damer og herrer, i går afholdtes Europakonferencens første møde på udenrigsministerplan.
The final topic discussed in the first session was that of re gional cooperation on environmental issues.
I mødet deltog ud over de 15 EU-medlemsstater og Kommissionen de 11 tiltrædelseskandidater, de 10 central- og øst europæiske lande og Cypern samt den schweiziske uden rigsminister Cotti som member elect.
Over lunch, we discussed two further topics, develop ments in Kosovo and the situation in Albania, but I do not wish to address these now, because they will be the sub ject of a subsequent debate.
Tyrkiet havde alle rede på forhånd meddelt, at landet ikke ville deltage i konferencen.
The reports on the discovery of cross-border paedophile rings are something we all recall with horror.
') Medtagne dokumenter - Diskussion af aktuelle emner (indsigelser): se protokollen.
van den Broek, Member of the Commission. - (NL) Mr President, with reference to yesterday's European Conference in Luxembourg, I would just like to say how much I welcomed the fact that the presidency decided to include on the agenda the important issues that Mrs Fer rerò has just raised.
Formanden. - Fru Schierhuber, jeg må indrømme, at problemerne inden for dette sikkerhedsområde er ret al vorlige, og de har ofte beskæftiget formandskabet. Så sent som i går nævnte fru Schleiser visse tilsvarende proble mer.
The presidency referred to the European Union's intensive work in this area in recent weeks and months, giving an overview of the various activities being undertaken in that field and reporting on the progress of discussions in the General Affairs Council.
Europa- Pari amentets forhandl inger
Debates of the European Parliament
Som regel finder det sted sted bag lukkede døre.
This and all future presidencies can count on the Commission's support in putting these areas of cooperation into practice.
Disse fænomener kan iagttages»! hele verden.
These are all areas which are directly related to bringing Europe closer to the people and about which people are, I think, rightly very concerned.
Konferencen behandlede på sit første arbejdsmøde pro blemer i forbindelse med den grænseoverskridende organiserede kriminalitet og det regionale miljøsamarbejde og gav lejlighed til, at der blev taget et familiefoto med vores partnere.
Firstly, I believe - and this is something of which the House should be aware - that the way we chose to deal with the applicant countries, using the European Confer ence as a kind of umbrella forum to negotiate with some of them, was the right way.
I forbindelse med frokosten blev situationen på det vestlige Balkan, især i Kosovo og Albanien, også diskuteret.
The elections in Latvia - as well as the referendum on integrating the Russian-speaking population - and the elections in Slovakia have shown that it was right to accept these countries as applicants.
Dermed har formandskabet egentlig forsøgt at af dække et bredt opgaveområde og med undtagelse af competitive economies at bidrage med noget til de emner, som stats- og regeringscheferne enedes om i London vedrø rende konferencens fremtidige arbejde.
Nevertheless, we must give them time and provide certain incentives for them to put the appropriate measures in place.
Eftersom de økonomiske relationer, udvekslingen af in formationer og turismen har nået globale dimensioner, berøres alle stater af den seksuelle udnyttelse af børn.
I am glad that this has actually demonstrated that we proceeded in the right way, even though our course of action was disputed in certain quarters of this House.
Deltagerne på konferencen var derfor enige om, at effektive modforanstaltninger også forudsætter et effektivt in ternationalt samarbejde i de forskellige organer.
The incentives method - providing support for improvements on democracy, the rule of law and minorities - has proved to be the right method.
Denne ekspert gruppe, den såkaldte COLD-gruppe, blev nedsat af Euro pakonferencen i London i marts i år og havde sit første møde den 10 Juni i Bruxelles.
We all know that the Maltese Government has reactivated its application to join the European Union, which it withdrew, or rather postponed, two years ago, and has resubmitted it to the presidency.
Mødets deltagere har givet udtryk for deres støtte til formandskabets forslag til de op gaver, gruppen skal løse.
As normally happens, the presidency and the Council have asked the Commission to deliver an opinion on it.
Deltagerne fra staterne uden for Den Europæiske Union informerede derefter om enkelt heder vedrørende situationen i deres lande, hvad angår or ganiseret kriminalitet og narkotikahandel.
What this means in this particular case is that the Commission must now examine what effect the two-year gap in preparations for member ship has had on Malta's current political and economic situation.
Vi husker alle rapporterne om afsløringen af grænseoverskridende pædofile netværk med gru.
It is rather difficult to give a precise timetable for all this.
Deltagerne i konferencen bekræftede her, at denne udfordring bør tackles på tværs af grænserne.
The Council sets great store by having extremely detailed information, which means that we are having to work through the 1993 opinion and compare it with the current situation in Malta.
De underrettede gruppen om de skridt, de fremover ville tage for at løse disse problemer.
We failed - unfortunately, at this European Conference too - to secure the participation of Turkey.
Alle deltagere var enige om, at der skal sikres et effektivt internationalt samar bejde.
I wonder how topics such as international crime, drug trafficking and so on can really be dealt with effectively without Turkey.
Dette samarbejde bør være så bredt som muligt og inddrage politi, told-og strafforfølgelsesmyndigheder.
Nobody should support terrorist groups and thus enable them to be active in other countries.
Der skal også gøres alt for, at udvekslingen af informationer parterne imellem kan foregå så hurtigt og gnidningsfrit som muligt.
But if Turkey is not capable of solving the problem itself by peaceful means, then it has neither the legitimacy nor the right to take action and organise ac tivities in another country.
Af EU-aktiviteterne fokuserede formandskabet især på den fælles foranstaltning vedrørende bekæmpelse af menne skehandel og seksuel udnyttelse af børn, som Rådet ved tog i februar 1997.
•I should like to ask the presidency whether this was dis cussed; what the presidency's views are on this issue; and whether, perhaps jointly with the Americans, a clear statement could be made to Turkey about its relations with Syria.
I den forbindelse talte man også om, hvorvidt de samar bejdsstrukturer, såkaldte networks, der allerede eksisterer inden for Den Europæiske Union, også skal udvides.
Finally, as I do not need to tell you, when I was in New York I had the opportunity to talk to Guido Di Marco, Malta's new and also former Minister of Foreign Affairs, and I told him that we are delighted that Malta has re newed its application.
Del tagerne i ekspertgruppens møde foreslog desuden en om fattende emneliste med henblik på det videre arbejde. I slutningen af diskussionen blev man enig om hurtigt at gennemføre nogle forslag såsom at aftale kontaktpunkter og også at invitere til seminarer.
I also said that the Council is definitely expecting Malta to try to make this application a bi-. partisan matter, that everyone knows that the application withdrawn two years ago when the present opposition party came to power has been reactivated, and that the Member States are delighted that the people of Malta are so keen to become part of the European Union.
Efter at en række af konferencens deltagerlande havde berettet om deres erfaringer og engagement på dette om råde, blev deltagerne i slutningen af diskussionen enige om at invitere Europakonferencens ekspertgruppe vedrø rende narkotika og organiseret kriminalitet til at foretage en detaljeret undersøgelse af, hvilke af EU's retsinstrumenter Europakonferencens partnerlande kunne tilslutte sig.
A second point was that the question of introducing a sys tem of VAT in Malta was extremely important last time round and was even one of the main reasons why the coalition that has just returned to power lost the last elections but one.
Ved overgangen til de centrale diskussionsemner på kon ferencen gjorde formandskabet opmærksom på den betydning, Den Europæiske Union tillægger kampen mod den organiserede kriminalitet.
Swoboda (PSE). - (DE) Mr President, Madam President-in-Office, Commissioner, I believe the topics focused on by the European Conference to have been wisely chosen and worthy of our full support.
Den fare, der udgår fra in ternationale forbrydernetværk for vores samfund, må nemlig ikke undervurderes, da den nu også omfatter mange forskellige aspekter af det menneskelige liv - po litik, økonomi, domstole.
I also endorse the words of the Commissioner, who said that it is important to ad dress those issues which are of particular interest to peo
Desuden beskæftigede konferencens deltagere sig i for bindelse med den grænseoverskridende organiserede kriminalitet med flugthjælpskriminaliteten.
My final question for the presidency, however, is whether an initiative was put forward at the meeting of foreign ministers in Salzburg to extend this project to embrace other countries, as well as those' in the European Confer ence.
Netop i den se nere tid har vi gentagne gange fået meldinger om spektakulære angreb fra illegale indvandrere, der forsøger at komme ind i de rigere lande i Europa og Nordamerika.
Both the countries of south-east Europe and those in the Barcelona process are, of course, very much affected by issues such as crime and drug trafficking, but also im migration.
Denne nye indvandringsbølge, der tager til fra år til år, har foranlediget mange stater til at skærpe deres indvandringsbestemmelser.
I wonder how these issues should be dealt with in the future.
Der er to områder af den organiserede kriminalitet, som Den Europæiske Union i den forbindelse kvalificerer som. særligt afskyvækkende, da de går ud over de svageste elementer i vores samfund, ud over børnene og indvandrerne.
The initiative did not exactly meet with en thusiasm or approval, hut in principle, I believe it is the right approach, even though it was perhaps not prepared as well as it might have been, and the details still need to be considered.
I diskussionen om forebyggelse og bekæmpelse af den seksuelle udnyttelse af børn var konferencens delta
The topics discussed, quite rightly, at the European Conference, relate to problems which can ultimately only be solved if, at the very least, the countries of south-east Europe and the countries in the Barcelona process are involved.
Endelig blev det regionale miljøsamarbejde også diskuteret på det første arbejdsmøde. Her berettede de forskellige
I should like to ask you, Madam President-in-Office, whether you can comment on how people envisage this in the future!
Det er lidt vanskeligt at give en helt konkret frist herfor.
own Group, the ELDR, strongly believes in a wider and deeper political Union.
Rådet sætter pris på at bliver informeret meget indgående herom. Det betyder med andre ord, at den opfattelse, vi fremsatte i 1993, skal gennemarbejdes på ny og sammen lignes med den nuværende situation i Malta.
Now that we have crossed the threshold with the five plus one States for November, we must add new vigour to the search for the institutional re form of our own institutions urgently in advance, lest it become an obstacle later; none of us want to see that happen, but it has that capacity.
repræsentanter om deres engagement på miljøområdet, nemlig i de europæiske regionalorganisationer, det cen traleuropæiske initiativ, sortehavssamarbejdet, Østersørådet og Rådet for de europæisk-arktiske områder af Barentshavet.
Günther (PPE). - (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I have the impression that the topic of Malta came as rather a surprise, not only to you, Commissioner van den Broek, but also to you, Madam President-in-Office, because I had actually expected you to comment briefly on this in your statement.
Deltagerne på konferencen understregede, at de miljøpolitiske foranstaltninger bør afstemmes efter hinanden.
Secondly, politically, we strongly welcome the green light which was given this week to Cyprus as part of that process.
Deltagerne på konferencen aftalte med henblik på fremtiden, at formandskabet som et første skridt skal anmode de forskellige organer, der er ansvarlige for det regionale samarbejde, Europa-Kommissionen og Miljø agenturet om at fremlægge deres bidrag og at foreslå løs ninger på problemerne.
But this, too, must add a new urgency for the Council and the Commission in respect of an EU-led po litical initiative to resolve the Cyprus problem under the aegis of the United Nations lest, again, we should institutionalise inside the Union an intractable and difficult problem on that divided island.
Under middagen diskuterede vi desuden to emneområder, nemlig udviklingen i Kosovo og situation i Albanien, som jeg dog ikke vil komme ind på nu, fordi vi får en debat herom bagefter.
Admittedly, I had expected a rather clearer signal from the Council, given the remarks the Commission made in the Committee on Foreign Affairs and Security, which were, even at that stage, along the same lines as those it made today.
Til sidst, unødvendigt at sige: Jeg har i New York haft lejlighed til at tale med Maltas nye og samtidig tidligere udenrigsminister, Guido Di Marco, og jeg har meddelt ham, at vi glæder os over Maltas fornyede bestræbelser.
In this regard, I wish to say to the Council that my Group deplores the continued failure by the Council to agree a legal base for a financial protocol with Turkey.
Spørgsmålene om kampen mod den organiserede kriminalitet, seksuel udnyttelse af børn, ulovlig tilflytning står alle øverst på vores nuværende politiske dagsorden.
Indeed, perhaps it is also the Council that should take some responsibility for the somewhat confused situation, because it gave Malta the brush-off and said that its turn would come after the pre ceding enlargement.
Vi anser det for at være af største betydning, at disse emner behandles i et forum, hvor alle vores fremtidige med lemsstater er forenet med medlemmerne af Den Europæiske Union.
Malta was then, as it were, catapulted into the ranks of those countries which are experiencing severe difficulties in preparing for accession to the European Union.
For det andet spillede spørgsmålet om indførelse af et momssystem i Malta den gang en meget vigtig rolle.
My final political comment, in general terms, with regard to the upcoming Vienna Summit, is that this will afford an opportunity to review the claims of other applicant states.
Det var endog meget afgørende for, at den koalition, der nu på ny har regeringsmagten, tabte det næstsidste valg.
My Group believes, especially in the context of the Russian political and economic crisis, that we need to review our position with regard to the Baltic States.
Også på dette punkt vil vi få mere klarhed.
They have exhibited a deep commitment to reform and have made commendable progress.
Det er, hvad jeg på nuværende tidspunkt kan sig om Maltas ansøgning om medlemskab af Den Europæiske Union.
This must be recognised at Vi enna as, indeed, must the renewed interest in Malta.
Jeg tror, at vi efter ratificeringen af Amsterdam traktaten vil råde over en række nye instrumenter for at kunne arbejde mere effektivt transnationalt, også med kredsen af fremtidige medlemsstater.
The government, too, in the meantime, has done all it can to give a subsequent government, of whatever po litical hue, the possibility to reactivate its application for membership.
Jeg tænker her sær ligt på, at Amsterdamtraktaten giver mulighed for at flytte en række aktiviteter fra den tredje søjle i Ma astricht-traktaten til den første søjle.
Besides, the Commission must certainly also have been aware of these signals from Malta, through the regular reports of its delegation.
Dette formandskab og efterfølgende formandskaber kan regne med Kommissionens fulde støtte ved arbejdet med at give dette arbejde et reelt indhold.
Collins, Gerard (UPE). - Mr President, the election of Mr Adami as the new Prime Minister of Malta is going to have the effect of reactivating the application of Malta to join the European Union.
Når det drejer sig om at bringe Europa nærmere til borgerne, er der en lang række emner, der me get direkte har at gøre med dette, og som vores borgere med rette, mener jeg, gør sig store bekymringer om.
He recently stated that there would be two objectives for his new government: firstly, the application of Malta to join the European Union; and secondly, the repairing of the public national finances in Malta.
Swoboda (PSE). - (DE) Hr. formand, fru formand for Rådet, hr. kommissær, jeg mener, at de centrale punkter, som Europakonferencen har beskæftiget sig med, absolut er rigtige og skal støttes fuldt ud.
The intention of our motion for a resolution is to call on the Council to send out a clear and immediate signal, first of all, to indicate that it welcomes Malta and that Malta is now once again a part of the European Conference.
Hvad angår Malta, vil især vores kollega Malone udtale sig. Derfor vil jeg ikke gå i detaljer her.
For Malta belongs in this forum, if only because of its constructive role in the Barcelona process.
Hr. formand, jeg kigger på skærmen foran mig og ser, at der står: Conference, og der står Malta. Nu ved jeg ikke, om det er meningen, at der nu også skal siges noget om Malta.
Both these issues are interlinked to a small extent, partic ularly in the context of economic criteria laid down in the Maastricht Treaty which prospective participants in the European Union must comply with in the single currency system.
