Når henses til, at antikrisepolitikken i visse medlemssta ter er strandet, prøver man her og der at vildlede offentligheden ved at gøre EF til en slags dobbelt syndebuk. Det Europæiske Råd, Kommissionen - og også Parlamentet - må ikke lade sig fange i denne snare.
My group took an uncompromising position on this in the negotiations, but were not followed by the other groups, especially the Socialists and the Christian-Democrats; and it is indeed easier, Mr President, to draft a European constitution for the distant future than to stick to one's principles when eye to eye with the Council.
Det bedste svar vil være, at det ekstraordinære topmøde bidrager til, at der så hurtigt som muligt bliver vedtaget nogle slag kraftige foranstaltninger. Vi kan da heller slet ikke forestille os, at dette den kommende fredag ikke skulle blive gjort til genstand for en alvorlig drøftelse.
We therefore urge that conclusion of the interinstitutional agreements, with which we are in agreement, should be made absolutely conditional on the European Council honouring its Edinburgh decision so that once and for all an end is put to the secret society that is in fact the Council.
Hvorfor skal man så bruge endnu en særforhandling på dem? Dette kunne hos visse give anledning til spørgsmålet, om der måske er tvivl om denne gennemførelse, eller om der er visse medlemsstater, der vil løbe fra deres underskrift, nu hvor det drejer sig om at omsætte det, man var blevet enig om i Maastricht, til handlinger.
DE GUCHT (LDR). - (NL) Mr President, between the signature of the Maastricht Treaty and its entry into force next 1 November there will have been, all told, 21 months, a bloody civil war at our borders, an escalating economic crisis and two monetary shock waves.
Maastricht var imidlertid ikke noget improviseret. Man var allerede nået så vidt som til at offentliggøre Delors-rapporten, der blev skabt en socialpagt, og der var gået to regeringskonferencer forud for Maastricht.
Belief in European integration has been shaken not least by failure in what were supposed to be two important spheres of Treaty achievement, particularly external and security policy and the delineation of monetary union.
For os afhænger Den Europæiske Unions troværdighed af dette.
It has straight away to be said that it is absolutely necessary to make a new start when the Treaty enters into force, if we wish to save European construction.
At der også vil blive taltom den fælles udenrigsog sikkerhedspolitik, samt om den interne sikkerheds- og immigrationspolitik, kan vi naturligvis slutte op om.
All the principal actors - Council, Commission, Parliament and the Member States' governments - are obliged to give of their utmost endeavours to this end.
Dog må Det Europæiske Råd vide, at den europæiske tanke er blevet hårdt ramt af, at vi ikke har kunnet finde en
Between now and the European elections next June, the Union must demon strate that it can proffer an answer to the great challenges confronting our countries.
Min gruppe har stemt for teksterne til Maastricht.
BOISSIERE (V). - (FR) Mr President, Mr President-in-Office, in the opinion of the Green Group the entry into force of the Maastricht Treaty, over 22 months after the European Summit of the same name, cannot disguise the low level of popular support for it.
Dette Europæiske Råd må klart angive, at der er en stærk vilje til at gennemføre det, der blev vedtaget i Maastricht. Derudover må man så også på overbevisende måde vise viljen til en indædt bekæmpelse af den fælles krise.
I am also anxious to see the Committee of the Regions established as soon as possible, with the twofold aim of democratic legitimacy and autonomy, as called for by the European Parliament, and also priority representation of the regions.
Sker dette ikke, så kunne Bruxelles godt tænkes at betegne begyndelsen på et europæisk tilbagetog. For tres år siden, i 1932, skete dette, da Ottawa-Konferencen strandede.
The European Environment Agency also needs to be established at last, after so many years.
Først da slog den daværende krise igennem.
Implementing the Treaty is not going to be enough.
Uagtet den utvetydige udtalelse fra Det Europæiske Råd i Edinburgh forbeholder Rådet sig retten til at holde resultaterne af afstemningerne for sig selv, at holde dem hemmelige for Europa-Parlamentet og de nationale Par lamenter, hvis et flertal af Rådets medlemmer beslutter noget sådant. Dette er uhørt i et demokrati, det er endog skandaløst.
response from the European Parliament, and then from the Member States, and the long period of uncertainty between the first Danish referendum and the ruling of the Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe were all alarm signals proving that it was a very near thing.
For min gruppe er denne åbenhed med hensyn til afstemningsresultaterne essentiel, og Rådet må tage dette punkt een gang til.
The European Council is under a duty to show, in the implementation of the Treaty, that the message has made its mark.
Vi plæderer da også for, at de interinstitutionelle aftaler med deres indhold, som vi er enige i, kun og udelukkende indgås på den betingelse, at Det Europæiske Råd leverop til sin beslutning fra Edinburgh, og at der een gang for alle bliver gjort en ende på den hemmelige loge, som bærer navnet Rådet. Vi beder udtrykkeligt Rådets formandskab her til aften at love Parlamentet, at Rådet på ny vil sætte dette spørgsmål på dagsordenen for Det Europæiske Råd den kommende fredag.
Only a firm commitment to democratization of the European Union, with a timetable, dynamic development of European citizenship, an ambitious programme to combat unemployment and a political will to switch away from the economic development model founded on growth, which is increasingly synonymous with social exclusion and environmental damage, towards ecologically sustainable development can restore hope to the citizens of Europe with only a few months to go before the European elections.
DE GUCHT (LDR). - (NL) Hr. formand, mellem at Maastrichttraktaten blev underskrevet og dens ikrafttrædelse den kommende 1. november ligger godt 21 måneder, en blodig borgerkrig ved vore grænser, en eskalerende økonomisk krise og to monetære chokbølger.
MUSSO (RDE). - (FR) Mr President, I first want to thank the Presidency-in-Office for having come to address us, despite the disruption of air traffic at the moment, but I also wish to tell the Presidency-in-Office, in the friend liest and most respectful way, that I was nevertheless a little disappointed.
Troen på den europæiske integration vakler, ikke mindst på grund af svigt i forbindelse med det, der blev kaldt to vigtige resultater i Traktaten, nemlig udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitikken og udformningen af Den Monetære Union.
When all is said and done, you gave us an agenda, explaining that it was going to lend momentum, restore confidence and send a political signal to the world, and that agenda comes down to four items: implementation of the Treaty, enlargement, economic growth, and GATT, although there is a question mark over the last in the list.
I samme åndedrag kan man også nævne, at det er absolut påkrævet med en ny start ved ikrafttrædelsen, hvis vi ønsker at redde den europæiske opbygning.
It was said that the main component of the Maastricht Treaty was economic and monetary union, which had indeed got a little ahead of political union.
Alle tilhængere, Råd, Kommission, Parlament og regeringerne i medlemsstaterne skylder Europa og dets borgere at gøre deres yderste herfor.
I think it has to be realized that, since the summer's monetary crisis, economic and monetary union is in a bad way and that, as we had been saying, the convergence criteria are inappropriate.
Unionen må fra nu og til de europæiske valg i juni næste år bevise, at den kan tilbyde et svar på de store udfordringer, som vore lande står overfor.
So, instead of pressing on regardless, I think the convergence criteria ought to be reviewed.
Øverst på Den Liberale og Demokratiske Gruppes priori tetsliste står en håndfast håndtering af den økonomiske recession.
The President-in-Office referred to the interinstitutional agreements providing a basis for progress on a number of points in the Maastricht Treaty.
Det Europæiske Råd må genoprette tilliden til de monetære samlingsbestræbelser ved nu at beslutte, at den anden fase af ØMU nu går ind i sit fulde omfang den 1. januar, ved at angive hjemstedet for dette institut og for den fremtidige centralbank og utvetydigt bekræfte målet for Den Monetære Union hen imod udgangen af dette århundrede, hvilke problemer vi end måtte støde på undervejs.
In this connection, I should like to ask the Presidency of Parliament to reconsider the adoption of a resolution to close this debate, since the compromise resolution that has been proposed refers to the interinstitutional agreements and takes a position in this respect. I do not think honourable Members are aware of the situation, apart from the few negotiators in the European Parliament delegation.
Europa-Parlamentets første modtagelse og den lange uvished i medlemsstaterne fra den første danske folkeafstemning til dommen fra Forfatningsdomstolen i Karlsruhe er alarmsignaler, der viser, at kuglen var tæt på.
It ignores the lessons of the difficulties over ratifying the Treaty and fails to give the necessary answers on democratization, which our fellow citizens are so much expecting to be given.
I forbindelse med Traktatens iværksættelse er det Det Europæiske Råds pligt at vise, at budskabet er korrekt modtaget.
For instance, the Council has not been willing to commit itself to adopting all legislative texts by public vote.
Min gruppe ønsker da også, at Maastrichttraktatens bestemmelser om den fælles uden rigs- og sikkerhedspolitik ufortøvet skal føres ud i livet.
On 1 January 1994, the President of the European Monetary Institute will be elected (we shall have something to say about that, incidentally), its seat will be fixed, and so on and so forth.
Den manglende stabilitet på det europæiske territorium giver os intet andet valg.
At that time we had a margin of plus or minus 2.25% in the EMS, now we have plus or minus 15%, in other words a spread of 30%.
Det er sagt, at Maastricht-Traktatens vigtigste aspekt var Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union, der rent faktisk havde fået lidt forspring for den politiske union. Siden sommerens valutakrise må man gøre sig klart, at Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union er anskudt, og at konvergenskriterierne som forudsagt var uegnede; så i stedet for at jage frem mener jeg, at man bør revidere konvergenskriterierne.
We have extraordinary monetary turmoil and, to make matters worse, conditions in the majority of our countries are making the people generally begin to reject the idea of economic and monetary union as defined by you.
Hr. formand, det ubestridelige europæiske fremskridt, som var indeholdt i Maastricht, er gledet totalt i baggrunden på grund af den svigtende praktiske politik.
An important point in what you said was that the European Council was going to define a number of areas for joint action, since it is for the definition of joint action that unanimity is required. So I find myself none the wiser.
Derfor er det essentielt, at de procedurer, der er indeholdt i Unions-Traktaten, kan fungere optimalt fra begyndelsen. Den interinstitutionelle aftale, som Parlament, Råd og Kom
How is the Union going to be involved, how are we going to be involved, and how is NATO going to be involved?
Rådsformanden omtalte de interinstitutionelle aftaler, som skulle muliggøre udvikling af nogle af Maastricht-Traktatens punkter.
There are various provisions that ought to be given effect before the European elections in 1994, notably transposition into national law of the changes in the numbers of Members of the European Parliament and adoption of the provisions on the right of citizens of the Union to vote in their country of residence so that they become applicable before the elections. I am looking to the Presidency-in-Office for a clear answer.
I denne forbindelse vil jeg bede formandskabet om at se på det beslutningsforslag, der skal afslutte den igangværende forhandling, da det fælles
It told me when the Council made its last statement on the Presidency's programme that it was going to take an initiative with a view to securing a discussion in the Council on a uniform electoral system, Parliament having stated its position on this.
BOISSIERE beslutningsforslag omtaler de interinstitutionelle aftaler og tager stilling til dem.
MUSSO instruments for applying them in place, I am going to say nothing.
Jeg mener ikke, at Europa-Parlamentets medlemmer kender dem, når bortses fra nogle medlemmer af Europa-Parlamentets forhandlingsdelegation.
between democracy and integration, the majority in this Chamber chooses integration.
Jeg mener derfor, at det vil være klogere at udsætte afstemningen, og håber, at de andre grupper deler denne opfattelse.
History will condemn you for this undemocratic union which comes into force on Monday.
I alle tilfælde kan De Grønne i Europa-Parlamentet ikke acceptere de interinstitutionelle kompromisforslag. Navnlig ikke det om demokratiet, transparensen og subsidiariteten, som ligger langt under de krav, der stilles for Maastricht-Traktatens iværksættelse.
Regarding the practical arrangements, however, Mr President-in-Office, you referred to the interinstitutional agreement signed on Monday evening, the day before yesterday.
Forslaget drager ikke læren af Traktatens vanskelige ratificering og giver ikke de af borgerne så inderligt ønskede nødvendige svar på spørgsmålet om demokratisering.
There is nothing about that in the interinstitutional agreement. In other words, a whole article of the Treaty has been left out because it is embarrassing to the Council.
F.eks. har Rådet ikke ønsket at forpligte sig til at vedtage alle lovgivningsteksterne ved offentlig afstemning.
It is an embarrassment because the Council does not want its officials to be able to answer what it would regard as indiscrete questions.
Det turde dog ellers være et demokratisk krav sine qua non.
In other words, it does not want transparency.
Vi havde så og så mange millioner arbejdsløse, men nu har vi endnu flere.
But how long will it hold out?
Der var et vigtigt punkt i det, De sagde, nemlig at Det Europæiske Råd skal fastsætte en række fælles aktioner, da det er fastsættelsen af fælles aktioner, der kræver enstemmighed.
In conclusion, Mr President-in-Office, I shall not com ment on the subject of enlargement, since you said that the 1 January 1995 deadline was going to be met.
Jeg venter nu på at se, hvad det er for nogle fælles aktioner, og også hvad De forstår ved »de organer«, der skal gennemføre den fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik.
As regards competitiveness, I merely make the point that a figure of 20 million unemployed is being forecast by the year 2000 and, after everything I have just said about economic and monetary union, I do not think it is going to solve the problem.
Hvordan skal Unionen, vi og NATO inddrages deri?
Lastly, you said that GATT was not going to be on the agenda, although momentum would be given.
Hvordan indgår vi i denne helhed?
I look forward to seeing what form this will take.
Især omsætning i national ret af ændringerne af antallet af Europa-Parlamentets medlemmer samt vedtagelse af bestemmelserne om Unionens borgeres ret til at stemme i den medlemsstat, hvori de bor, så gennemførelsen deraf kan ske forud for valget.
Now, in the presence of this Belgian Council presidency, I lack the time to go into a thorough analysis and demonstration of the Maastricht Treaty's flaws, errors and dangers, however much I should like to do so.
Jeg henvender mig til Rådets formandskab for at få et klart svar.
I shall therefore limit myself to two points.
Hvad angår retslige og indre anliggender tror jeg ikke, at jeg har noget at bemærke.
In the first place I must again refer to the irony of fate.
Det, der sker, hvad enten grænserne åbnes eller ej, hvad enten Schengen-aftalen overholdes eller ej, da man jo har indgået aftalerne uden at skabe instrumenterne til deres overholdelse, gør, at jeg ikke vil sige noget derom.
For it is indeed remarkable how Maastricht is being ushered in during the presidency of a country that does not have the remotest idea whether it will achieve in time the standards set by Maastricht. Depressing, funny - or both.
Som ønsket af Europa-Parlamentet kunne jeg ligeledes ønske hurtig oprettelse af et Regionsudvalg med både demokratisk legitimitet og autonomi, så også regionerne kan blive repræsenteret.
BONDE (ARC), - (DA) - Mr President, on Friday the summit meeting celebrates the Maastricht Treaty with its impossible Economic and Monetary Union which would collapse if there were a referendum today in the three largest countries.
Endvidere at Miljøagenturet efter så mange år omsider må blive oprettet, og frem for alt at Maastricht-Traktaten må blive overskredet.
On Monday evening the Christian-Democratic-Socialist two party system was brought to heel and accepted the transfer to new competences from open parliaments in the Member States to closed meetings of bureaucrats in Brussels.
Det er ikke nok at gennemføre Traktaten, nu gælder det om at gøre alt for at komme endnu videre.
All that we get from them is the information on the voting on new laws which it suits the majority of ministers to release.
Den omfatter en række punkter, men der var ét, som man forbigik i tavshed, nemlig oprettelsen af de midlertidige undersøgelsesudvalg, som Traktaten giver os ret til at nedsætte.
I am simply astonished at the servile submissiveness with which the country that now has the Council presidency in its care is accepting that citizens of the other EC Member States who reside in Belgium should have the right to vote there.
Herom er der intet i den interinstitutionelle aftale. Med andre ord er en hel artikel i Traktaten forbigået i tavshed, fordi den generer Rådet.
Anyone acquainted with the state of affairs in Brussels, in the municipalities around Brussels and in the municipalities of the whole of Flemish Brabant, knows that this represents in the short and medium term a direct assault on the language, culture and identity of the Flemings who live there and also an assault on the social equilibrium of those municipalities, where the property prices are becoming further and further beyond the reach of Flemings.
Den generer Rådet, fordi Rådet ikke ønsker, at dets tjenestemænd kan besvare spørgsmål, som Rådet skønner indiskrete.
With Maastricht, Belgium has yet again trampled Flemish interests under foot.
Med andre ord ønsker man ingen transparens.
Now, on the eve of its being put into operation, this fact cannot here be condemned enough.
MUSSO (RDE). - (FR) Hr. formand, jeg vil først og fremmest takke Rådets formandskab for på trods af de øjeblikkelige vanskeligheder i luftrummet at være kom met til stede for at afgive den redegørelse, vi lige har hørt, men jeg vil også med megen respekt og i al elskværdighed sige til Rådets formandskab, at jeg trods alt er en smule skuffet.
It is a democratic scandal that many laws will now be passed behind closed doors, and it is a scandal that we are now to choose an ombudsman, but that it is officials who are to decide what the peoples' and Members' ombudsman will be allowed to see.
Jeg slutter, hr. formand, med at sige, at jeg ikke vil kommentere udvidelsen, da De sagde, at tidsfristen 1. januar 1995 bliver overholdt.
The Parliament's delegation to the interinstitutional meeting voted by 10 votes to 3 on a compromise with the Council, albeit at the last minute.
Om konkurrenceevnen vil jeg blot sige, at man i år 2000 regner med 20 mio arbejdsløse, og med alt det, jeg lige har sagt om Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union, tror jeg ikke, at det vil løse problemet.
Parliament could have said: we approve everything, apart from the voting in the Council of Ministers, where we insist on knowing which way the ministers have voted on the new legislation.
Hvad GATT angår, sagde De, at man ikke ville tale derom, men blot give impulser. Jeg glæder mig til at se disse impulser.
Then the ministers would have had to say on Friday, in front of 2,000 journalists in Brussels: The Maastricht Treaty can unfortunately not come into force, because we are not prepared to tell the voters how we have voted on laws, whereas today anyone can walk in off the street into the national parliaments and see who votes what.
Lad os først og fremmest tale om Traktatens gennemførelse, om Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union.
The Ministers' decision does not bear publication, and so it is an issue which we could have won on Friday.
Jeg mener for lidt siden at have hørt en eller anden sige, at det er udmærket at fastslå, at vi vil overholde tidsfristerne.
The majority in this House bears a heavy responsibility for the democratic deficit, which will grow as from Monday.
Jeg vil gerne have at vide, om der ikke mellem tidspunktet for Traktatens
Parliament has shown that when a choice has to be made
BONDE (ARC). - Hr. formand, på fredag fejrer topmødet Maastrichttraktaten med den umulige økonomiske og monetære union, som ville falde, hvis der var folkeafstemning i dag i de tre største lande.
AINARDI (CG). - (FR) Mr President, if I understood the statement by the President-in-Office correctly, the main purpose of the European Council meeting on 29 October appears to be to put the spotlight on implementation of the Maastricht Treaty in the hope of making a psychological impact on public opinion and winning it over to the aims of the Treaty.
Medens de europæiske folk kræver åbenhed, nærhed og demokrati, fejrer embedsmænd og ministre, den udøvende magt, at de nu kan overtage en større del af den lovgivende magt fra vælgere og folkevalgte.
But it is plain to all that this Europe, which is mass-producing unemployment instead of creating jobs, is the object of very widespread popular rejection, which is even spreading to the countries that are candidates for accession.
med situationen i Bruxelles, i kommunerne omkring Bruxelles og i kommunerne i hele Vlaams-Brabrant, ved, at dette på kort og mellemlangt sigt er et direkte anslag mod sprog, kultur og identitet hos de derboende flamlændinge samt et anslag mod den sociale balance i de pågældende kommuner, hvor priserne på fast ejendom bliver mere og mere ubetalelige for flamlændinge.
If there is to be any hope of reconciling the construction of Europe with the aspirations of its citizens, a theme pursued recently by Jacques Delors, we are going to need more than promises and window-dressing. I have to conclude once again that the Council is refusing to take any notice of either the recent monetary events or the evidence of misgivings in public opinion.
Belgien har med Maastricht endnu engang trådt de flamske interesser under fode.
That agreement, as Karel De Gucht has said, spells out good agreements on subsidiarity, a good agreement on the work of the Ombudsman, a good agreement on the conciliation procedure under co-decision.
På tærsklen til ikrafttrædelsen er ingen anklagende ord stærke nok.
Where it is weak is on the issue of transparency and democracy in the Community's function.
AINARDI (CG). - (FR) Hr. formand, hvis jeg har forstået rådsformandens redegørelse rigtigt, ser det ud til, at det er hovedopgaven for Det Europæiske Råd den 29. oktober at rette projektørlyset mod Maastricht-Traktatens gen nemførelse i håbet om at øve psykologisk indflydelse på den offentlige opinion for at få den til at gå ind for Maastricht-Traktatens mål.
Mr President, we urgently need to learn the lessons of these setbacks and to take the decisions that have to be taken if we are not to face the prospect of 30 million unemployed about which Jacques Delors spoke on 14 October in Brussels.
Men alle og enhver kan konstatere, at Fællesskabet, der fabrikerer arbejdsløse på samlebånd i stedet for at skabe beskæftigelse, er genstand for veritabel afvisning fra befolkningernes side endog i ansøgerlandene.
That means, first and foremost, putting an end to freedom of movement of capital, which works to the exclusive benefit of speculators, and taking measures to channel capital into productive, job-creating investment.
