Hvis lederen af Kommissionen ikke i sidste ende kan handle efter sit eget hoved over for disse embedsmænd for at tjene Fællesskabets interesser, vil det aldrig være muligt at gennemtvinge en anden logik.
We would like to see immediate action, and we cannot help wondering how that could be achieved in the absence of an operational Commission.
Alle de initiativer, jeg hidtil har ønsket, er genstand for de reformer, der i dag er lovet af formanden for Kommissionen, og dette giver os anledning til forhåbninger.
In calling upon the European Commission to follow the lines recommended by the Committee of Inquiry, with the threat of censure if it faUs to conform to those recommendations, our intention is not to discredit the Community system but, rather, to strengthen it.
Men når jeg nu kommer nærmere ind på indholdet af beretningen vedrørende Kommissionens ansvar, står det klart, at denne ikke har været i stand til, eller værre, ikke har villet gribe ind over for denne krise i tide.
After all, a Commission and Council that are more transparent, more attentive to the needs and protection of the public, and freer of the pressures exerted by lobbyists and national governments, together with a European Parliament exercising democratic vigilance over the actions of the other institutions, cannot fail to provide the sound basis that we want Europe to have.
Hr. kommissionsformand, jeg har selv tillid til, at det vil lykkes for Dem.
At this point I turn to look the Commissioner, Mrs Bonino, straight in the eye.
Så fortsæt, hr. Santer! Tøv ikke med at slå hårdt denne gang!
Public health: the burden will be yours, and I do not envy you your task!
Viola (PPE). - (LT) Fru formand, kære kolleger, kære kolleger, det, vi drøfter i dag, er ikke et af de mange politiske eller tekniske problemer af større eller mindre betydning, som vi normalt beskæftiger os med, men et forhold, som næsten med sikkerhed hidtil har kostet 16 personer livet, og har ligget til grund for den første store krise på det interne marked siden dets indførelse.
Santini (UPE). - (LT) Madam President, anyone rising to speak after two hours of debate obviously has a problem in finding anything new to say. I shaU try to find something new, by expressing a regret felt, I believe, not only by myself but also by many other members of the Committee of Inquiry - a regret that we did not hear the person who might perhaps have been the best witness to, and was a participant in, the events of the recent and more distant past.
Heroverfor nytter det ikke med taktiske politiske overvejelser eller forsvar af ens eget parti.
I refer to theformer President of the Commission, Jacques Delors, whom some of us would have liked to question.
Der er alene tale om, at vi må gøre alt for at få sandheden frem og for at undgå, at disse forhold kan gentage sig, og alene handle efter vor egen samvittighed.
The proposal to call him was put to the vote, and those of us, myself included, who were in favour lost by the narrow margin of seven votes to six.
Dette har været det princip, der har inspireret undersøgelsesudvalgets arbejde, og de resultater, der forelægges Parlamentet i dag, bærer vidnesbyrd herom.
I believe that many clarifications that we would like to have today, for which we are asking the present Commission, could have been obtained from that dominant figure, and that the decision not to involve him was probably prompted by an excess of respect.
Med kravet til Kommissionen om at følge de henstillinger, der er givet af Undersøgelsesudvalget og med truslen om politiske reaktioner, dersom den ikke retter sig efter disse henstillinger, ønsker vi ikke at svække tilliden til fælles skabssystemet, men tværtimod at styrke den.
At the outset of the inquiry, some six months ago, the answer offered by the scientists seemed to be a macabre echo of Pontius Pilate: 'There is no reUable scientific proof of the existence of transmissibility to man, but nor is there any proof to the contrary.' Good, or rather bad!
En mere gennemsigtig Kommission og et mere gennemsigtigt Råd, der er mere lydhør over for borgernes krav og varetagelsen af beskyttelsen af dem, og som er mere frigjort fra pression udøvet af lobbyer og nationale regeringer samt et Parlament, der demokratisk overvåger de øvrige institutioners virke, kan kun være det solide fundament for det Europa, vi ønsker.
After six months of effort, the testimony given by a handle of courageous scientists enables us to rewrite that verdict, more or less as follows: 'There is no reUable evidence that the old form of Creutzfeld-Jacob disease derives from the BSE epidemic, but suspicion is growing, in the light of evidence of vertical and horizontal transmission between animal species.'
Den grundlæggende betragtning, jeg finder at burde at anlægge på baggrund af disse resultater, er, at både Det Forenede Kongerige og Kommissionen og Rådet som de hovedansvarlige for det, der er sket, i det væsentlige har givet handelsmæssige interesser fortrin frem for dyrs og særlig menneskers sundhed.
That suspicion is growing, especially, with regard to the new form of the disease, which has taken fifteen human lives within a few months - fourteen in the United Kingdom and one in France. Just a statistical freak?
I Det Forenede Kongerige er denne ændring først begyndt at tegne sig positivt her på det sidste, og riu er det Den Europæiske Unions tur.
In the last five years, in the European Union, there have been 302 cases of death caused by the 'old form' of this disease in the United Kingdom alone, as against a Community average of 30-50 cases.
Santini (UPE). - (IT) Fru formand, den, der tager ordet efter to timers forhandlinger, har et problem med klart at sige noget nyt.
Speaking at this late stage, now that the questions of responsibUity have been clarified and the history of this affair outlined, I have the opportunity to look directly to the future and put forward a number of concrete proposals.
Jeg vil forsøge på at gøre dette ved at give udtryk for skuffelse, formentlig ikke blot personlig, men også hos mange andre kolleger i Undersøgelsesudvalget over, at vi ikke har hørt den, der måske kunne være det vigtigste vidne om og ansvarlige for begivenhederne i den nære og fjernere fortid.
So I shall begin by asking the President of the Commission to apply Article 169 of the Treaty, whereby the Commission over which he presides may call upon the United Kingdom to make some form of reparation - not merely moral reparation, I hope - to Europe's citizens as an appropriate penalty for the harm caused to the other Member States.
Jeg hentyder herved til den tidligere formand for Kommissionen, Jacques Delors, som nogle af os meget gerne ville have hørt.
And I also call upon him to draw the attention of Europe's citizens to the content of Article 215
Er der alene tale om statistiske tilfældigheder? Det tror vi ikke på! Og dette så meget mere som denne mistanke vokser, når vi ser på de ældre statistikker.
Santini pleasure of sharing many hours of hard work in the Committee of Inquiry into BSE.
Denne forskning skal således sættes i gang omgående, og vi vil i morgen stemme herfor.
So this research is needed urgently, and that consideration will be in our minds as we vote tomorrow.
Vi vil stemme for en blød mistillidserklæring, eller i overmorgen, torsdag, for en mistillidserklæring med krav om øjeblikkelig afgang.
We will vote for a 'soft' censure, or else the day after tomorrow, on Thursday, we will vote for a censure involving immediate resignations.
Jeg tillader mig at erindre om, at vi, hvilken beslutning vi end træffer, må være bevidste om, at de europæiske borgeres valg vil afhænge af denne i mindst 15 år.
Let me remind you that, whatever our decision may be, we must be aware that the choices of the European public wUl depend upon it for at least 15 years.
Fru formand, dette er nemlig den frygteligt lange inkubationstid, som videnskabsmændene har angivet, førend man kan påvise virkningerne af en eventuel smitte med BSE i form af Creutzfeldt-Jakobs sygdom af tusinder og atter tusinder af europæiske borgere, og ikke blot britiske!
Because, Mr President, that is the grim length of time which -the scientists have said will be necessary to verify the effects of the possible spread of BSE, through Creutzfeld-Jacob disease, to thousands and thousands of European citizens - not just the British!
Jeg tror, at denne tilkendegivelse fra Kommissionen vil kunne gøre det forståeligt for borgerne, at man vil råde bod på skaden.
Mr Santer, the seriousness of the Commission's faiUngs in its handling of the BSE affair, and the risks to pubUc health which they produced, are clearly demonstrated by the Committee of Inquiry's report.
Jeg finder endelig, at selvom nogle kræver blod her og nu, interesserer det i højere grad mange at blive bekendt med de foreliggende forslag om at forsøge at råde bod på disse.
Moreover, in then- appearances before the Committee of Inquiry, the Commission's representatives sometimes acted in bad faith, concealing information and often preventing the committee from carrying out its work effectively.
Man ville således nå til en mere passende og moderat anvendelse af artikel 175, i henhold til hvilken Europaparlamentet i tilfælde af forsømmelighed kan anlægge sag mod Kommissionen og endda kan gøre dette, fordi Kom missionen ikke har krævet artikel 169 bragt i anvendelse.
The fact that the Commission even attempted to shift its responsibilities to ParUament is extremely serious. Mr Santer will recall his appearance before the committee and the series of exchanges that we had with him concerning Parliament's supposed denial of funds for research.
Teverson (ELDR). - (EN) Fru formand, jeg er helt sikker på, at en mistillidsafstemning nu mod den siddende Kommission vil være helt forkert.
Teverson (ELDR). - Madam President, I am absolutely sure that an immediate vote of no confidence against the existing Commission would be absolutely wrong.
Det ville være forgæves, i og med at de skyldige befinder sig andre steder og går længere tilbage i tiden.
It would be futile in that the culprits are elsewhere and go further back in time.
Når det er sagt, og når vi har hørt den tale, Kommissionens formand har holdt i dag, så må vi sige, at hvis det er udelukket, så bør dommen over denne Kommission udsættes til en anden gang, hvis de krav, der er blevet stillet i beretningen, bliver opfyldt.
Having said that, and having heard the President of the Commission's speech today, if that is ruled out and the things that have been demanded in this report are performed upon, then that judgement on this Commission should be left to another time.
Hvis Parlamentet beslutter sig for denne bløde løsning, må vi følge det op, hvis de mål, vi sætter, ikke bliver opfyldt.
If this Par U a ment decides to go for the soft option we have to follow through if those targets that we set are not actually met.
At sende Kommissionen hjem ville, således som det er sagt flere gange her i salen, også være en måde, hvorpå man kunne hindre den i straks og konkret at iværksætte beslutningsfasen i hr. Ortegas beretning.
The Commission is a collective body, and the principle of continuity within the institutions makes it responsible for all its actions, regardless of the particular composition of the College of Commissioners.
Vi ønsker omgående indgriben, og vi spørger os selv, hvorledes dette kunne ske uden en funktionsdygtig Kommission.
It is argued that not all Commissioners bear the same degree of responsibUity, but the coUegiate nature of the Commission makes its responsibility a collective one.
En af de ting, der særlig har slået mig under denne høring, er situationen mellem 1990 og 1994, da BSE-krisen var på sit højeste.
One of the things that has struck me particularly during this hearing is the situation between 1990 and 1994 when the BSE crisis was at its height.
Det Forenede Kongeriges regering vedtog den rigtige lovgivning i god tro, men forsømte så at sikre sig, at den blev ordentlig gennemført.
The UK Government passed the correct legislation in good faith but then failed to make sure that it was implemented properly.
Herudover forsømte Kommissionen at undersøge, om disse regler blev gen nemført.
In addition the Commission failed to check that those particular regulations were being implemented.
Det er virkelig ironisk, at mens der fandt inspektion sted i lande uden for Den Europæiske Union for at sikre, at de importerede produkter var i orden, havde vi et større problem og en større sundhedsrisiko med vore egne dyr her i Den Europæiske Union.
It is indeed ironical that while inspections were taking place throughout countries outside the European Union to make sure that the imported products were in order we had a mejor problem and a major health risk in our own animals here in the European Union.
Jeg anmoder de europæiske institutioner om at vise mod til beslutsomt og med alle videnskabelige oplysninger, der er til rådighed, at tage fat på emnet beskyttelsen af den offentlige sundhed.
However, I should like to ask Mr Santer a question before the House: why now, at the last moment, these measures, these administrative changes, this desire for transparency and improvements?
Man må først og fremmest forsøge på at besvare et grundlæggende spørgsmål, nemlig hvilken årsagssammenhæng findes der mellem BSE og Creutzfeldt-Jakobs sygdom i dens gamle og nye form?
Why now, Mr Santer, given the seriousness of the BSE affair? I have absolutely no doubt that the conclusions of the Committee of Inquiry, as well as the threat of a vote of censure, have forced the Commission into presenting these proposals now.
En af de andre ting, det særlig er gået ud over, er regeringens troværdighed.
One of the other things that has particularly suffered is the credibUity of government.
I Det Forenede Kongerige har vi i mange, mange år fået forsikringer fra videnskabsmændene om, at der ikke var nogen risiko for menneskers sundhed, og så blev der meget pludselig vendt op og ned på det.
In the United Kingdom we had assurances from scientists for many many years who said there was no risk to human health and then that was overturned very suddenly.
Der skulle heller ikke være nogen risiko for overførsel til kalve, men også det blev ændret, og hvad vi har nu, er mangel på tillid hos forbrugerne og befolkningen i almindelighed til, hvad regeringen fortæller os og til det videnskabelige materiale, der bliver fremlagt for of fentligheden.
There was also supposed to be no risk of maternal transmission and yet that was changed and what we have now is a lack of confidence among consumers and the population generally about what the government is telling us and the scientific evidence we are being given publicly.
Det bekymrer mig særlig, at Douglas Hogg ikke kom til udvalget for at fremlægge sin opfattelse.
I ãm concerned that there is still under-reporting else where in the European Union and we have to make sure that this is seen as a European problem and not just a British one.
Det var et tegn, der af mine egne vælgere blev fortolket som fejhed.
A motion of censure can be tabled to caU for responsibilities to be assumed that were incurred in the past.
Teverson visse betingelser, der er forbundet med selve arten af mistillidsvotummet.
Jové Peres bilbon in compensation to reaüze that there was a lack of common sense in the EU's policy, to discover the need to control economic interests through that policy and to safeguard human dignity?
Jeg tror, at ethvert andet valg, som denne forsamling træffer, vil fjerne problemet med at kræve, at man drages til ansvar for det, der er sket i forbindelse med BSE. Europa-Kommissionen bør opfylde sin forpligtelse, ikke gennem pression om et mistillidsvotum eller andre tvangsmidler.
side-step the issue of calling for responsibUities to be assumed for what happened in the past in relation to BSE: The Commission must fulfil its role, but not under the threat of a vote of censure or any other means of coercion.
Derudover mener jeg ikke, det er Parlamentets opgave at etablere denne form for pression.
Moreover, I do not believe that it is Parliament's role to exert this kind of pressure.
I denne sag bør Parlamentet ikke komme med betragtninger om politisk hensigtsmæssighed.
With regard to this matter, Parliament must not engage in considerations of political expediency.
Hvis vi falder i den grøft, ærede medlemmer, vil vi gøre os skyldige i den samme optræden, som EuropaKommissio-nen kritiseres for.
If we fall into that trap, we shall be guilty of the same sort of behaviour for which the Commission is being criticized.
Over for så alvorligt et ansvar er Parlamentets eneste kontrolinstrument efter min mening et mistillidsvotum.
In the face of such serious responsibilities, I believe that the only instrument of control available to Parliament is a vote of censure.
Derfor støtter min gruppe, at der indgives forslag om mistillidsvotum.
That is why my group supported the tabling of a censure motion.
Hr. Santer, Europa-Kommissionens alvorlige ansvar i for valtningen af BSE og de risici, denne har udgjort for folkesundheden, står helt klart i undersøgelsesudvalgets beretning.
But common sense has not simply ceased to prevail in Europe - people in positions of responsibility have stopped behaving sensibly.
Derudover har Europa-Kommissionen, når den har stået frem for undersøgelsesudvalget, somme tider optrådt illoyalt ved at skjule oplysninger og ved flere lejligheder forhindre, at undersøgelsesudvalget kunne gennemføre sit arbejde mere effektivt.
Who forced the Commission, Mr Santer, against all common sense - and here I quote from the report - to play down the problem of BSE from the outset; to give the beef market priority over human health; to pursue a poUcy of disinformation which ultimately interfered with the Community's ability to legislate; to ignore the warning voices of scientists; to have blind faith in industry lobbyists?
Det er yderst alvorligt, at Europa-Kommissionen oven i købet har forsøgt at give Europa-Parlamentet ansvaret.
Who forced the Commission into inefficiency, political weakness, and a policy of conceal ment and obstruction towards Parliament?
Hr. Santer vil huske, da han stod frem for undersøgelsesudvalget om BSE, og hele den debat, vi havde med ham i forbindelse med Parlamentets nej til bevillinger til forsk-. ning.
Perhaps it is the fact that, in its heart of hearts, the Commission also believes in and has committed itself to an aggressive neo-liberal ideology.
Hr. Santer, i slutningen af Deres indlæg begik De et fejltrin ved at sige, at nu var det tid til at opbygge et sundhedens Europa.
Mr Santer, you made a slip, at the end of your speech, when you said that the time had come to create a Europe of health.
Jeg mener, at dette fejltrin, hr. Santer, i al sin barskhed og med al tydelighed udtrykker det dilemma, vi debatterer: Der burde aldrig have været tvivl om, at det grundlæggende princip i den europæiske op bygning var folkesundheden og varetagelsen af borgernes interesser.
This highlights, to my mind, in the clearest and most basic terms, the issue that we are debating today: the fact that the protection of public health and of consumers is a fundamental principle of European integration should never have been caUed into question.
Og derfor, hr. Santer, mener jeg, at der i dag skal foretages en øvelse, der går ud på at gøre det europæiske politiske liv værdigt ved at indgive en af skedsbegæring.
Consequently, Mr Santer, I consider that the Commission should now per form an act of dignifying European poUtical life by submitting its resignation.
Hvis De indgiver en afskedsbegæring, og Rådet i morgen...
If it submits its resignation and, tomorrow, the Council...
Europa-Parlamentet bør inden for det institutionelle spil kræve ansvarlighed, og ærede medlemmer, hvis De læser undersøgelsesudvalgets beretning opmærksomt, kan De efter min mening ikke betænke Dem på at kræve den største politiske ansvarlighed af Kommissionen.
Do we not see the same attitude in the brutal imposition of the convergence criteria for entry into monetary union, with its acceptance of escalating unemployment figures, growing poverty and social crises? Do we not see the same attitude in the Commission's decisión to authorize genetically engineered maize, with the same disregard for warning voices and the same subservience to industry?
Omfanget af undersøgelsesudvalgets henstillinger har været en nød vendig følge af det ansvar, som Europa-Kommissionen, Rådet og naturligvis den britiske regering har pådraget sig.
Do we not see the same attitude in the role played by the Commission at the Intergovernmental Conference, where it has not put for ward dynamic proposals on the comprehensive democratization of the EU, the development of a social area in Europe and an ecological alliance?
Jeg synes, at Parlamentet skal vide, at den britiske premierminister, John Major, for blot nogle få minutter siden i Underhuset som svar på et spørgsmål om beretningen fra undersøgelsesudvalget, som vi drøfter her til eftermiddag, omtalte den som en masse »tosh«.
I thought this House should know that just a few minutes ago in the House of Commons the British Prime Minister John Major, in answer to a question about the report from the Committee of Inquiry which we are discussing this afternoon, referred to it as 'a load of tosh'.
For dem, der ikke kender ordet, betyder dette fuldstændigt og totalt sludder.
For those of you who do not know that word it means complete and utter rubbish.
Så den britiske premierminister anser den beretning, som vi drøfter her til eftermiddag, for at være en masse sludder.
So the British Prime Minister considers the report we are discussing this afternoon to be a load of rubbish.
Når hr. Nicholson anklager mig for at gøre dette til partipolitik, så kan alle nu måske forstå hvorfor.
When Mr Nicholson accuses me of making this partypolitical, perhaps everybody can now understand why.
Jeg mener kun, at en del af hr. Santers indlæg har drejet sig om undersøgelsesudvalgets henstillinger.
Böge (PPE). - (DE) Let me avoid using an agricultural expression, since this word rubbish refers to our specific findings.
Men under alle omstændigheder vil jeg foran de ærede medlemmer stille følgende spørgsmål: Hr. Santer, hvorfor nu, hvorfor i sidste øjeblik disse ændringer, disse foranstaltninger, ad ministrative ændringer, vilje til gennemsigtighed og til at forbedre tingene?
One of the expectations of the European public is indeed that we should make progress with the major goals of European integration, but another is that, where necessary, we should take our pitchfork and clear out the stable. That is what is involved here, not least as regards the detail.
Hvorfor nu, hr. Santer, i betragtning af BSE-sagens alvor?
You have asked here today, Mr Santer, where we would be if common sense had prevailed in the past.
Jeg er ikke i tvivl om, at undersøgelsesudvalgets resultat samt pressionen i forbindelse med et eventuelt mistillidsvotum har haft indflydelse på, at Europa-Kommissionen nu kommer med disse forslag.
Certainly, we would be living in a more democratic, more social and more ecological Europe, instead of in an uncontrolled market and under the rule of technocrats.
Böge (PPE). - (DE) Tillad mig at bruge et udtryk fra landbruget, navnlig da dette ord møg falder i betragtning af de præcise resultater: Det er i virkeligheden også den europæiske offentligheds forventning, at vi fremmer de store mål i den europæiske integration, men på samme måde tager møggreben frem og muger ud, hvor det er nødvendigt.
Barthet-Mayer (ARE). - (FR) Madam President, as well as being highly damning of the UK authorities and the CouncU, this report also proves that, through its failure to act and its negligence, the Commission played along with the ultra-liberal system which is at the root of this crisis, without regard for animal òr human health.
Det er også lige akkurat, hvad det drejer sig om i detaljer.
People have died in this affair, but we do not have the courage to make legitimate use of our powers with an immediate vote of censure!
Jeg forsøger ikke at bedømme den gode vilje hos flertallet i denne forsamling, som agter at indgive et nyt forslag om et uafgjort og betinget mistillidsvotum.
However, it is not the task of the European Parliament to bid a sad fareweU to common sense, but to demand it and to exact retribution when it is ignored.
