For det første fordi det kun på grundlag af traktatens bestemmelser og en streng opfyldelse af de kriterier, som fællesskabsloven pålægger, kan fastsættes, hvem der deltager, og hvem der ikke deltager i den omtalte førergruppe. I disse anliggender er vi alle lige, og ingen medlemsstater er mere lige end andre.
Is someone who brutally suppressed a democratic demonstration in his own country in 1991, who ordered the attack on Slovenia and the war against Croatia, with the first mass graves in Vukovar, who bears the original responsibility for the war in Bosnia, with its concentration camps, mass graves and displaced persons, who was labelled the butcher of the Balkans by the US diplomatic service in 1992 - is such a person more credible, is he better suited to establishing democracy in Serbia, than the opposition leaders whom he has sought to deprive of their electoral success?
Den nederlandske minister udtalte sig uden et objektivt eller lovmæssigt grundlag om det yderst følsomme spørgsmål om forbindelserne mellem staterne ud fra den forudsætning, at der ikke findes fællesskabsregler.
However questionable the political stance of the two male leaders of the opposition alliance may have been in recent years - as I have said here before - the last few weeks have shown
Som enhver ansvarlig for europæiske anliggender erkender, er disse stramme politikker et absolut nødvendigt bidrag til saneringen af de offentlige finanser, bekæmpelsen af arbejdsløsheden og troværdiggørelsen af projektet med den fælles valuta over for den amerikanske dollar og den japanske yen.
My final point in this connection is to call upon the Dutch presidency not to neglect the grave problem of the protection of Europe's children - a problem which is not just a reflection of our concern at recent events but an absolutely fundamental issue for a united Europe.
egnet til at indføre et demokrati i Serbien end lederne af den opposition, hvis valgsejr han ville berøve den?
serious statement of attitude from the presidency.
Uanset hvor omskiftelig - jeg har allerede sagt det her - en politisk holdning de to mandlige ledere af oppositionskoalitionen end har haft i de seneste år, har de seneste uger vist, at de med fredelige midler og med civilbefolkningens støtte ønsker at give Serbien et nyt demokratisk ansigt.
The only things we see and hear from you are diplomatic circumlocutions of no importance, which merely prepare the way for the convocation of the EU - Turkey Council of Association.
Jeg forventer også, at Den Europæiske Union tillægger det værdi, at Milosevic og også andre, hvis de skulle komme i regeringen, omsider løser spørgsmålet om Kosovo, for der begyndte det, og der vil det vel også ende!
But Turkey must respect the Member States, respect the European Union's democratic principles like any other country, and what we want from the presidency is to have the courage, the guts to live up to its responsibilities and support Member States threatened by such warlike proclamations. I expect an answer from you, Mr President-inOffice.
Hr. Gerrit Zalm har brug for mange måneder, ja år, meget længere tid end en formandsperiode varer, til at erhverve det fornødne kendskab til traktaten om Den Europæiske Union, Maastricht-kriterierne og prognoserne fra uafhængige organer som OECD, for ikke igen at lade sig overraske af det faktum, at i hvert fald Portugal er på lige fod med Nederlandene med hensyn til opfyldelsen af størsteparten af Maastricht-kriterierne og ikke så lidt bedre stillet, hvad angår nedbringelsen af den offentiige gæld.
Such a centre, based on the model of the European agencies, would act as an authority for coordinating activities, but would also be a unique information exchange, which would be entrusted with the very specific priority mission of tracing missing children, by network ing the national search centres and the schemes set up by associations and families in our various countries.
Mine damer og herrer, Milosevic er heller ikke længere den eneste garant for gennemførelsen af Dayton.
Swoboda (PSE). - (DE) Madam President, Mr President-in-Office, the Dutch have sometimes been criticized in recent weeks for a lack of ambition in planning their presidency.
På baggrund af ovenstående mener vi', at Nederlandene er i sin gode ret til, såfremt det opfylder kriterierne, ligesom Portugal, Spanien og Italien, at deltage i den fælles valuta lige fra starten.
In the course of the vote on the 1997 budget, Parliament and the Council demonstrated their support for the implementation of schemes to protect children.
Det ønske, jeg vil formulere over for det nederlandske formandskab, er, at det ved afslutningen af sin formandsperiode vil have gjort alt, hvad der er muligt, for at indførelsen, af den fælles valuta i videst mulig udstrækning bliver et fælles europæisk projekt, baseret på strenge krav, men også på lighed mellem alle Unionens medlemsstater.
That determination must be translated into specific action, and I call upon the Council presidency to generate the necessary determination for the implementation of this project, so that the 80 million children living in the European Union can grow up in a Europe that welcomes them and is, of course, prepared for a better future.
Jeg fornemmede i dagene og nætterne i Beograd, at menneskene omsider ønsker at befri sig fra Milosevic regimets undertrykkelse.
I should like to know, Mr President-in-Office, if you are clear about the preconditions for enlargement.
Jeg håber, ærede hr. kommissær van den Broek, at De med Den Europæiske Union hjælper med til at hjælpe netop de uafhængige medier og netop Radio 92, som spiller en fremtrædende rolle, til at ledsage denne demokratiproces.
Some of these have already been referred to: I am thinking of the institutional preconditions. As someone who comes from a small country, I support you in your efforts to ensure that in future, even in an enlarged Union, the small countries should have a sufficiently strong representation.
Det var på tidspunktet for det sidste nederlandske rådsformandskab og udenrigsminister van den Broek at krigen i det tidligere Jugoslavien begyndte.
With regard to regional aid, what ideas will the Netherlands feed into this debate, and will they shape regional aid in such a way that it is still workable in an enlarged Union?
Gør det, der er muligt, ærede hr. rådsformand, for at bane Serbiens vej til Europa og også virkelig skabe fredelige tilstande i Bosnien.
On assistance for agriculture, are you prepared to support a shift away from a policy of direct subsidies towards one of aid for rural areas, taking particular account of social factors?
Pack (PPE). - (DE) Fru formand, mine damer og herrer, hr. rådsformand, jeg taler kun om Serbien.
Alavanos (GUE/NGL). - (EL) Madam President, I would like to wish the Dutch presidency success during the coming six months.
Jeg glæder mig over Rådets erklæring af 9. januar, hvori det kræver af den serbiske regering, at den fuldt ud respekterer resultatet af lokalvalget i Serbien, dvs. oppositionskoalitionen Zajednos sejr, forventer, at pressefriheden garanteres, og at pressionerne mod uafhængige medier hører op, samt kræver en dialog mellem alle politiske kræfter i Serbien.
The Netherlands are not one of the larger countries, but a country that is dynamic and could make a positive contribution, I would say, which might be rather different from and much more social than anything we have seen since the Maastricht Treaty, and one that is much more acceptable to Europe's citizens.
Hermange (UPE). - (FR) Fru formand, hr. rådsformand, det nederlandske formandskab begynder i eri periode, der er afgørende for Den Europæiske Union, og som er præget af den dobbelte udfordring med udvidelsen og fordybelsen. sen.
An area which is rarely mentioned, but where I would expect the necessary support from the Netherlands in particular, is environmental policy and the modernizing of nuclear power stations in the eastern half of Europe.
Efter at en udenrigsminister fra Den Europæiske Union inden jul gennem sit unødvendige visit, parret med ukloge udtalelser, på ny bragte Den Europæiske Unions fælles udenrigspolitik i miskredit i Beograd, var det med Rådets erklæring af 9. januar i lommen særlig let for mig at besøge i Beograd i sidste uge.
We have noted sensitivity on the part of the Dutch presidency concerning a series of issues related to citizens' rights. Over some issues, however, we have seen a complete lack of sensitivity and we are hearing the Dutch presidency's programme here in Strasbourg, in Strasbourg where European Parliament Plenaries have repeatedly raised extremely serious issues concerning human rights violations by Turkey and where the Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg has in recent months proclaimed two decisions condemning Türkey, both in relation to the human rights of Kurds and in relation to the assets of Cypriots in areas of the Republic of Cyprus occupied by Turkish troops.
Et menneske nes Europa, det er et Europa, der tager sig af de svageste, de mest trængende, de udelukkede, børnene og de unge.
Secondly, I would mention briefly something which is very important in the context of disarmament and war.
Oppositionskoalitionen Zajedno, de studerende og med dem hundrede tusinder serbiske borgere har nu demonstreret i flere uger.
It is to be hoped that, with the support of the Dutch presidency, we shall achieve something which lies within reach: a permanent ban on production, trade in and laying of antipersonnel mines, as well as the destruction of all antipersonnel mines which now exist.
Hvis vore udenrigsministre ligesom jeg natten mellem torsdag og fredag oplevede denne opbrudsstemning på tæt hold, ville de sandsynligvis give udtryk for endnu mere støtte til denne demokratiske struktur og true méd og også gennemføre strengere straffeforanstaltninger over for Milosevic og hans regering.
I would end by asking that, in respect of this important activity - currently being undertaken in the context of the United Nations, but where Europe must now show its true colours - the European Union should wage a successful campaign for the banning of antipersonnel mines, and I hope that you will be able to achieve this before the end of your presidency.
Derfor er jeg meget opmærksom, hr. formand, på Deres forslag om beskæftigelse og socialpolitik.
From that standpoint, Mr President-in-Office, I would like to ask you: You have been President-in-Office of the European Union for just a few weeks.
Tilsvarende er det absolut nødvendigt at beskytte og udvikle den euro pæiske socialmodel, der skaber rigdomme for vores samfund og vores økonomier.
To be specific, Mr Erbakan said: 'Greece has learned the lessons of 1922 when the Greeks were expelled from Asia Minor and 1974 when half of Cyprus was occupied, and Turkey is ready to repeat those lessons'.
I den forbindelse vil regeringskonferencen få et tungt ansvar med endelig at give Den Europæiske Union ubestridelige kompetencer i sociale sager, der navnlig vil gøre det muligt for den at handle mere effektivt i kampen mod social udelukkelse.
He is threatening war against a Member State of the European Union, and in the face of this threat of war we hear neither any protest nor any
Alle de, der mener, at med Milosevic ved man jo, hvor man står, og at det ikke er tilfældet med oppositionen, bør kort standse op og analysere denne tanke.
Peijs (PPE). - (NL) Madam President, over the next few months, Europe is going to be put to the test.
Er en person, som i 1991 blodigt nedkæmpede en demokratisk demonstration i sit eget land, som befalede angrebet på Slovenien, krigen mod Kroatien med de første massegrave ved Vukovar, som oprindeligt er ansvarlig for krigen i Bosnien med koncentrationslejre, massegrave, fordrevne, som i 1992 betegnede det amerikanske diplomati som Butcher of the Balkans, er den person mere troværdig, er han bedre
Will the Union be able to reform itself so that it can face the 21st century with confidence - a new era with a series of enlargements and all the problems of integration they will entail?
Det er også på grund af ødelæggelser, som narkomisbruget hos vores unge forårsager i form af afhængighed, elendighed og dårligt helbred, at jeg glæder mig over at se, at det
Some of the reforms needed to adapt our administrative and democratic structure to the new situation could present difficulties for individual Member States.
Hermange nederlandske formandskab har gjort kampen mod den internationale kriminalitet og narkohandelen til en af sine prioriteter.
Peijs last Monday night emphasized the point again that 82 % of all crime in Britain is drugsrelated.
Et praktisk samarbejde mellem politi, told og retsvæsen i vores lande er absolut nødvendigt for aktivt at bekæmpe narkotikahandelen.
Recent figures from the Irish Police Force say that 76 % of all crime in Ireland is drugsrelated.
Men De ved det, hr. for mand, det er også væsentligt at harmonisere de europæiske lovgivninger om bekæmpelse af handel med og brug af narkotika; uden denne harmonisering kan der ikke blive nogen effektiv kamp og sikkerhed for alle vores medborgere og navnlig for vores unge.
With the Europol drugs unit based in Holland, I hope the Dutch presidency will continue the work started by the Irish presidency in bringing forward coordinated and concerted action, moving these issues from the third pillar to the first pillar and getting more and more coordination and more and more cooperation be tween the Member States in tackling what is an evil and vile illicit business.
Endelig er det stadig i samme ånd, at jeg anmoder det nederlandske formandskab om ikke at negligere det alvor lige problem med børnene i Europa, der ikke er en aktuel bekymring, men en egentlig grundliggende indsats for den europæiske konstruktion.
The Netherlands has the considerable task of achieving consensus on this very difficult choice, but then consensus is something the Netherlands has always specialized in.
Lilleasien, og det samme var tilfældet i 1974, da halvdelen af Cypern blev besat, og Tyrkiet er parat til at give det en ny lærestreg«.
Some people say that this is precisely why the polder economy has been such a success.
Dette er en krigstrussel fremsat mod et medlemsland, et medlem af Den Europæiske Union, og stillet over for denne krigstrussel hører vi ikke en eneste protest fra formandskabet - ikke engang en seriøs stilling tagen.
The very fact that the Netherlands is accustomed to trying to reach compromises and consensus could make this Dutch presidency an historic one.
Det eneste, vi hører fra Dem, er diplomatisk snak uden mening, som blot skal bane vejen for en sammenkaldelse af Associeringsrådet Den Europæiske Union - Tyr kiet. Der er ingen, der ønsker at isolere Tyrkiet.
But it certainly struck the wrong note in the very first week of the presidency - and I think Mr Salafranca was extremely tactful in how he referred to this, for which I am grateful to him - for a finance minister to express his views so outspokenly and undiplomatically that we can only fear that consensus and confidence will now be very hard to find.
Ingen ønsker en mur mellem Tyrkiet og Europa.
Even a child could tell which countries Mr Zalm was calling hysterical.
Vi ønsker blot, at Tyrkiet respekterer medlemslandene, respekterer Den Europæiske Unions demokratiske grundlag, sådan som alle andre lande gør, og vi ønsker, at Den Europæiske Union og formandskabet viser det nødvendige mod til at opfylde alle forpligtelser og således støtter de medlems lande, der udsættes for krigstrusler som denne.
A country like Spain, which has just frozen its civil service salaries so as to be able to meet the EMU criteria, will find it very difficult to defend its actions to its people if the EU President-in-Office calls its government hysterical.
Swoboda (PSE). - (DE) Fru formand, hr. rådsformand, man har i de seneste uger undertiden bebrejdet nederlænderne, at kravene til formandskabet er sat for lavt. Men kan også sige, at de er meget, meget ambitiøse.
Following on from that, my second and final point is that if this European Union is to mean anything, if the new treaty on European Union is to mean anything, it must protect those who are most vulnerable in our society, and that is our children.
Jeg gentager i den anledning, hr. formand, mit forslag om oprettelse af et europæisk center til forebyggelse og bekæmpelse af vold mod mindreårige.
We have the ongoing everyday problems that children are facing not only with regard to sexual and emotional abuse but poverty, lack of opportunity and protection.
Dette center, som jeg forestiller mig efter modellen for de europæiske agenturer, skulle være en koordineringsinstans for aktionsmidlerne, men også et specielt sted til information og udveksling, hvis væsentligste meget konkrete opgave ville være at søge efter forsvundne børn ved at organisere et net af de nationale efterforskningscentre og de foranstaltninger, der er iværksat af foreningerne og familierne i vores forskellige lande.
With the amount of goodwill present, there should now be an opportunity for a specific article in the new treaty which the Dutch Government will - we hope - be bringing in under its presidency, to ensure that the rights and freedoms of children are fully and individually enshrined therein. If we cannot protect our future which is our children, what point is there in protecting the present?
Det haster med at konkretisere denne beslutning, og jeg appellerer til råds formanden om, at han bibringer den nødvendige vilje til gennemførelsen af dette projekt, således af de 80 millioner børn, der lever i Den Europæiske Union, kan vokse op i et venligt Europa, der naturligvis er forberedt på en bedre fremtid.
What is certain is that by acting accordingly, the Dutch presidency will make its own contribution to the edifice of a Europe of poverty and unemployment. The peoples of Europe can expect no improvement of their living standards and working conditions from the activities of the next six months.
Her vil jeg gerne støtte Dem som kommende fra et lille land i, at de små lande naturligvis også i fremtiden med en større Union skal være tilsvarende stærkt repræsenteret.
The regulations on the legal status of the euro, the finishing touches to the stability pact and a decision on a new European Monetary System are all matters which call for confidence and unanimity.
Jeg tænker på regional støtten. Hvilke ideer vil Nederlandene her bringe ind i debatten, og vil de også forberede regionalstøtten på en sådan måde, at den også er mulig i en udvidet Union?
But even where the single currency has most support in the Union, there are still a number of concerns, and the Dutch presidency is perhaps particularly well equipped to deal with these problems.
Jeg tænker på landbrugsstøtten. Er De rede til at støtte, at der sker en omstrukturering fra en direkte støttepolitik inden for landbruget i retning af en støtte til landdistrikterne, idet der tages særligt hensyn til de sociale aspekter?
Moving on to labour market policy and unemployment in the Union, the Netherlands is right to stress the need for structural changes in policy regarding rigid wage systems, changes in social benefits and greater labour mobility.
Noget, som sjældent nævnes, men hvor jeg netop af Nederlandene forventer den nødvendige støtte, er ganske givet også miljøpolitikken og moderniseringen af atomkraftværkerne i Europas østlige halvdel.
Given that both the Union and the Netherlands Government feel so strongly about 'work, work, work', it is all the more incomprehensible that the Dutch presidency seems to ignore the very existence of tourism.
Jeg støtter Dem fuldt ud i Deres bestræbelser på her virkelig at finde en løsning, men jeg mener, at særdeles mange forudsætninger er nødvendige.
To conclude, I very much hope that the Dutch presidency is going to give us a people-friendly Amsterdam treaty that is just as creative as the city itself.
Vi har set det nederlandske formandskabs engagement i en række spørgsmål med relation til borgernes rettigheder.
Concerning the situation in Serbia, I would first like to comment on the cautious way in which the President-inOffice approached the issue in his statement.
Men vi har også i flere spørgsmål set en fuldkommen mangel på engagement, og vi har nu hørt det nederlandske formandskabs arbejdsprogram her i Strasbourg, i Strasbourg, hvor Europa-Parlamentets plenarforsamling adskillige gange har rejst alvorlige spørgsmål vedrørende Tyrkiets krænkelse af menneskerettighederne, og hvor Menneskerettighedsdomstolen i Strasbourg i løbet af de sidste måneder har truffet to afgørelser, der fordømmer Tyrkiet, både i forbindelse med kurdernes menneskerettigheder og cyprioternes besiddelser i de tyrkisk besatte dele af Republikken Cypern.
Madam President, despite the tremendous difficulties it is facing, both economically due to the embargo and because of the problems created by the embattled situation in the Balkan area, the Serbian nation is in a position to establish democratic procedures and extend its democratic rights if it is left free from outside pressures and international ulterior motives.
Jeg nævner for det andet helt kort det, som er meget vigtigt i forbindelse med nedrustning og krig.
Crowley (UPE). - Madam President, like other Members I would like to wish the Dutch presidency the very best of luck in a very important year for the European Union.
Jeg beder Dem afslutningsvis om, at Den Europæiske Union i forbindelse med denne vigtige aktivitet, som blev gennemført som led i FN, men hvor frem for alt Europa nu må angive retningen, fører en vellykket kamp mod personelminerne, og jeg håber, at De kan opnå det under Deres formand skab.
Judging by what was said in Parliament this morning in reply to the last President-in-Office, Prime Minister John Bruton, one can see that the emphasis is on a Europe which is closer to the people, which can take account of the people's concerns, can react quickly and assuage fears but which, at the same time, can stir enthusiasm and passion in people.
I går, som kulmination på en række trusler, hørte vi Tyrkiets islamiske premierminister, hr. Erbakan, åbenlyst true et EU-land, Grækenland, og et EU-associeret land, Cypern, med krig og besættelse af territorium.
From that point of view we cannot condone the intention to impose new measures and conditions upon Serbia with the excuse that we are recognising the democratic rights of the opposition parties.
Erbakan sagde helt konkret: »I 1922 fik Grækenland en lærestreg, da grækerne blev fordrevet fra
This insistence on imposing additional measures which in the last analysis make life more difficult for Serbian people themselves, cannot but be
Peijs (PPE). - (ML) Hr. formand, i de kommende måneder sættes Europa på en prøve.
One has already been mentioned in the presidency document which has been given to Members: it is the fight against international crime and illicit drug-trafficking.
Vil Unionen være i stand til at reformere sig selv så meget, at det 21. århundrede kan imødeses med tillid?
This is one of the biggest areas of concern to the ordinary man or woman in the street who is the embodiment of the European Union.
Et nyt århundrede med talrige
A programme on BBC World Television
Peijs udvidelser og alle dertil hørende integrationsproblemer. Nogle af de reformer, som er nødvendige for at tilpasse ledelsesstrukturen og den demokratiske struktur til den nye situation, kan være meget pinefulde for individuelle medlemsstater.
On 6 January - Twelfth Day, moreover - the Dutch Finance Minister and President-in-Office of the ECOFIN Council made his début with some remarks which showed him to be in favour of creating a very small economic and monetary union, in order - and I quote - to ensure the credibility of the euro.

regarded as questionable.
I et tv-program i BBC World mandag aften blev det endnu en gang understreget, at 82 % af al kriminalitet i Storbritannien har forbindelse med narkotika.
As if these remarks were not unfortunate enough, he added that the southern Member States which were seek ing to form part of the first wave of the third stage of EMU were guilty of hysteria.
