Jeg vil blot geme gentage to vigtige punkter, der kom frem som følge af vores diskussioner. Det ene gik ud på, at disse beslutninger kun bør træffes efter en kvalificeret flertalsafgørelse i Rådet, og hvis det ikke er muligt, bør Parlamentet straks høres igen; for det andet bør Parlamentet snarest muligt involveres i alle tilfælde af en ophævelse.
I would just like to reiterate two important points that emerged from our discussion: one was that these decisions should be taken only by qualified majority voting in the Council and, if that is not agreed, then Parliament should be reconsulted immediately; secondly, Parliament should be involved in aU cases of suspension at the earliest possible opportunity.
Jeg vil være taknemmelig for at få bekræftet fra Kommissionen, at det vil være tilfældet.
I would be grateful for confirmation from the Commission that would be the case.
Siden starten har samarbejdet mellem Den Europæiske Union og landene i Afrika, Vestindien og Stillehavsområdet i teorien været baseret på overholdelsen af menneskeog frihedsrettighederne.
Since the beginning, cooperation between the European Union and the ACP countries has in theory been based on the respect of human rights and freedoms.
Men dette grundlag er desværre kun teoretisk, således som den daglige virkelighed vidner om.
But that foundation, as every day reality shows, is unfortunately only theoretical.
Mange år efter starten på dette samarbejde får vi endelig forslag til foranstaltninger, hvorigennem vi kan indføre en betingelse for bistanden, eller som snarere, idet vi allerede har en tradition for at yde bistand, giver os mulighed for at suspendere bistanden, såfremt vi konstaterer for alvorlige brud på menneskerettighederne og de individuelle frihedsrettigheder i modtagerlandene.
Many years after that cooperation began, we are being proposed measures to set conditions on aid or rather, when we aheady have a tradition of giving aid, to suspend our help if human rights and individual freedoms are being violated seriously in aid beneficiary countries.
Liese (PPE). - (DE) Fra formand, mine damer og herrer, PPE-Gruppen støtter den foreliggende betænkning.
Liese (PPE). - (DE) Madam President, ladies and gentlemen. The group of the European People's Party supports this report.
Vi anser menneskerettighedsklausulen for at være en særdeles vigtig klausul i relation til menneskene i de berørte lande, for det drejer sig jo ikke om at straffe menneskene, men derimod de regeringer, som krænker borgernes men neskerettigheder.
We believe that the human rights clause is a very important clause in the minds of the people in the countries concerned, because it is a question of punishing not people, but governments who violate the human rights of their citizens.
Derfor er det således ikke rettet mod de berørte lande, men derimod mod de regeringer, der krænker menneskerettighederne, når vi suspenderer Lomékonventionen på området.
Nor is it an act against the countries concerned, but rather against the governments which abuse human rights, if we suspend the Lomé Convention in this area.
Jeg kan tilføje, at det forslag, vi har fået forelagt, ikke er alt for begrænsende, eftersom der indføres en høringsprocedure, der giver mulighed for at etablere en dialog med det land, over for hvilket der påtænkes indført sanktioner.
I am thinking in particular of the amendments aimed at sharing the suspension procedure initiative with the European Parliament and applying qualified majority voting for Council decisions since, if unanimity were required, I know of cases where a single country, sometimes mine as it happens, would block the whole arrangement that we want to set up.
Jeg ser derfor kun fordele ved den foreslåede foranstalt ning, så meget desto mere fordi den er blevet forbedret gennem det arbejde, der er udført af fru Aelvoet og Udvalget om Udvikling og Samarbejde.
We did not go along with Mrs Aelvoet, however, when she proposed-an exhaustive Ust of the human rights whose violation would lead to aid suspension, since we think that the different situations of the beneficiary countries should be taken into account.
Det er rigtigt, at Den Europæiske Union her stadig måler med to målestokke og stadig ikke er helt konsekvent.
It is true that the European Union is still using double standards here, and is not being quite consistent.
Men jeg deler ikke opfattelsen blandt dem, som siger, at AVS-landene klarer sig dårligere her end andre, derimod forholder det sig snarere således, at det desværre tit er geopolitiske og økonomiske overvejelser, som spiller en rolle.
However, I do not share the views of those who say that the ACP countries are fundamentally worse in this respect than the others, but it is true that, unfortunately, geopolitical and economic considerations frequently play a part.
I den forbindelse afhænger det netop ikke af, om et land er AVS-medlem eller ej, men af, om en medlemsstat har bestemte interesser.
It is not a question of whether a country is an ACP country or not, but of whether a Member States has specific interests.
Dette skal vi omsider komme væk fra.
We really must overcome this problem.
Vi skal føre en konsekvent menneskerettighedspolitik og måle alle med samme målestok!
We must pursue a consistent policy on human rights, and we must not have double standards.
Vi kan fuldt og helt tilslutte os ånden i de ændringer, fra Aelvoet har foretaget i det forslag, vi har fået forelagt.
I should also like to draw your attention to an amendment tabled by our former coUeague, Bernard Kouchner, who asked us to show circumspection when resorting to embargoes or blockades, since it is the ordinary people who suffer in those cases instead of the authorities we want to sanction.
Jeg tænker især på de ændringer, der sigter mod at dele initativretten i forbindelse med suspensionsproceduren med Parlamentet og at anvende kvalificeret flertal for beslutningerne i Rådet, for hvis man skulle kræve enstemmighed, kender jeg tilfælde, hvor et enkelt land, undertiden i øvrigt mit eget, ville blokere for samtlige de påtænkte ønskede foranstaltninger.
I think that the Council should listen hard to the proposals for amendments to the text, and I think that if we had applied it in the past, we might have avoided many tragedies in Africa.
Derimod har vi ikke kunnet acceptere fra Aelvoets forslag om en udtømmende liste over rettigheder, hvor en krænkelse ville medføre
I think that our examination will be complete once we have proposed applying this conditionality arrangement to bilateral cooperation by Member States of the European Union.
Van Bladel (UPE). - (NL) Fra formand, så vidt jeg kan se, tager fru Aelvoets interimsbetænkning sigte på at fremme to forhold.
Aelvoet (V), rapporteur. - (NL) Madam President, I should like at this late stage to draw attention to two points.
Menneskerettighederne i AVS-landene og Parlamentets indflydelse, og myndighed i forbindelse hermed.
We can see in practice that the Union's position with regard to ACP and non-ACP countries does indeed suggest discrimination.
Efter begivenhederne i Afrika i de seneste to år er
We are much easier on the ACP countries than non-ACP countries, with one exception: Burma.
Hory suspension af bistanden, idet vi mener, at det er nødvendigt at tage mere tilbørligt hensyn til de forskelligartede situationer i modtagerlandene.
van Bladel (UPE). - (NL) Madam President, as far as I can see, Mrs Aelvoet's report aims to promote two things: human rights in the ACP countries, and Parliament's control and authority in that field.
Endelig vil jeg geme gøre Parlamentet opmærksom på en ændring fra vor tidligere kollega, Bernard Kouchner, som har bedt os udvise al mulig ønskede omtanke ved anvendelse af embargo eller blokade, idet vi har kunnet konstatere, at det er befolkningen, der lider under disse sanktioner, hvorimod det er de politiske myndigheder, vi ønsker at straffe. Jeg mener, at Rådet bør lytte til de forslag til ændringer i teksten, det får forelagt, og jeg mener, at hvis vi tidligere havde anvendt denne foranstaltning, havde vi kunnet undgå mange tragedier i Afrika.
Following the events of the last two years in Africa, everyone knows that suspend ing development aid is in many cases an extremely necessary, often unavoidable and sadly not always effective measure.
Det hedder desuden, at sådanne foranstaltninger skal, og jeg citerer, »ophæves, så snart granden til, at de blev truffet, ikke længere er til stede«.
The procedural amendments pro posed by Mrs Aelvoet must be based on clear criteria, since this is what the countries concerned are entitled to expect.
Regler med en så langvarig og besværlig procedure, som udvalget foreslår, er umulige at anvende.
It has to be better for decisions to be taken by a qualified majority in the CouncU, with Parliament's as sent.
Proceduren ville desuden være i strid med de normale procedurer, der er foreskrevet i traktaten.
This interim report by Mrs Aelvoet, a respected colleague and a determined defender of human rights, fits in very well with the current tone of the negotiations at the IGC.
Derimod er det selvfølgelig muligt at se nær mere på, hvordan Parlamentet kan få en større rolle i forbindelse med anvendelsen af sanktionsklausulen, dvs. den, som i teksten kaldes non-executive clause.
Secondly, we tend to treat wealthy ACP countries very differently from the others, so that we are quick to take action against the Gambia and Niger, but we wait a very long time before taking action against Nigeria.
Endelig forekommer det mig, at vore overvejelser vil være fuldendte, når vi har foreslået, at denne betingelsesordning ligeledes anvendes i Den Europæiske Unions medlemsstaters bilaterale samarbejde.
Finally, and this is my last comment, I have withdrawn those of my amendments that were not approved by the
Stemmeforklaring
No 4-502/297
I den forbindelse vil jeg gøre de kolleger, der har stemt for fru Aelvoets forslag, opmærksom på, at det er nødvendigt at anvende kvalificeret flertal i Rådet og ikke enstemmig hed, når det gælder udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik.
I would suggest to colleagues who voted for the Aelvoet proposal that qualified majority should be applied in the Council, and not unanimity, for foreign and security policy.
Man optræder undertiden selvmodsigende ved disse afstemninger.
There have often been contradictory votes.
I går afviste et antal kolleger vores holdning til afstemning med kvalificeret flertal vedrørende udenrigsog sikkerhedspolitik.
Yesterday, some colleagues refused to accept our position on qualified majority voting for foreign and security policy.
Afstemninger med kvalificeret flertal er nødvendige for at sikre konsekvens i vort forsvar for menneskerettighederne! !
Yet it is necessary if we are to be coherent when defending human rights!
Til slut dette - og det skal være min sidste bemærkning: Jeg har trukket de af mine ændringsforslag, som i sin tid ikke fandt støtte i udvalget, tilbage.
committee - although they now seem to have appeared again - so my only proposal now is the one that was agreed in the Committee on Development and Cooperation.
De er øjensynlig lagt frem alligevel. Det eneste, jeg foreslår, er altså det, der var enighed om i Udvalget om Udvikling og Samarbejde, fordi punktet om eventuelt at gøre forskel på politiske og borgerlige rettigheder og sociale og økonomiske rettigheder i sanktionspolitikken også er til diskussion i den kreds af mennesker, der undersøger overholdelsen af menneske rettigheder.
The fact is that even among human rights experts, the possibility of having different sanctions for violations of political and civil rights and social and economic rights is still a controversial issue.
Jeg tror, at det er bedre først at fremsætte en politisk udtalelse herom, når der er mere klarhed hér.
I think it is much better to leave any poUtical statements on this until the situation has become clearer.
Det er derfor, jeg har trukket disse ændringsforslag tilbage inden plenarmødet. Det har man øjensynlig ikke respekteret i sekretariatet.
I therefore withdrew my amendments before the part-session, although this has apparently not actually been carried out.
Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er betænk ning (A4-0177/97) af Macartney for Fiskeriudvalget om forslag til Rådets beslutning (KOM(96)0464 - C4-0547/96-96/0234(CNS)) om ændring af bilaget til beslutning 93/383/EØF af 14. juni 1993 om referencelaboratorier til kontrol med marine biotoksiner.
President. - The next item is the report (A4-0177/97) by Mr Macartney, on behalf of the Committee on Fisheries, on the proposal for a Council Decision amending Council Decision 93/383/EEC of 14 June 1993 on reference laboratories for the monitoring of marine biotoxins (COM(96)0464 - C-0547/96-96/0234(CNS))
Gradin, medlem af Kommissionen. - (SV) Fra formand, Kommissionen har med interesse læst fru Aelvoets interimsbetænkning om Lomékonventionens artikel 336a samt udtalelserne fra REX-Udvalget og Udenrigsudvalget.
Gradin, Member of the Commission. - (SV) Madam President, the Commission has studied with great interest the interim report by Mrs Aelvoet on Article 366a of the Lomé Convention along with the opinion of the REX committee and the committee for external affairs.
Kommissionen er enig i, at der er behov for en konsekvent og samordnet holdning, når det gælder menneskerettigheder, demokratiske principper og retssikkerhed.
The Commission shares the view that we need continuity and coordination in our approach to human rights, democratic principles and law and order.
Derfor vil vi om kort tid fremsende en meddelelse til Rådet og Parlamentet, hvori vi klargør, hvilke begreber der skal gælde, og stiller forslag om en mere struktureret procedure. dure.
So we will shortly be submitting a communication to the Council and to Parliament in which we clarify the concepts which will apply and propose a more structured suspension procedure.
Macartney (ARE), ordfører. - (EN) Fru formand, jeg vil gerne hylde det arbejde, der blev udført af et meget udmærket forskningsinstitut i Torry i Aberdeen i Skotland.
Macartney (ARE), rapporteur. - Madam President, I would like to pay tribute to the work which was done by a very fine reference laboratory in Torry in Aberdeen in Scotland.
Ironisk og mærkeligt nok lå ansvaret ikke hos den skotske gren af den britiske regering, men hos det engelske ministerium.
Ironically and strangely, this was the responsibility not of the Scottish arm of the British Government but of the English ministry.
Dette laboratorium havde et særdeles godt rygte, og det var anerkendt over hele Europa.
The record of that laboratory was a very fine one, it was recognized right across Europe.
Inden for det pågældende ministerium havde laboratoriet i Torry faktisk de bedste resultater med hensyn til at få fælles finansiering fra Europa-Kommissionen.
In fact within that ministry the reference laboratory in Torry had the best record in attracting joint funding from the European Commission.
Det var et laboratorium af europæiske dimensioner.
It was a laboratory of Euro pean significance.
Belønningen herfor var en lukning.
The reward for this was to be closed down.
Det skyldes udelukkende økonomiske forhold, fordi ministeriet under den foregående regering besluttede at koncentrere sig aktivt om området syd for grænsen og derfor lukkede fødevareinstituttet i Torry.
The reason was purely on cost grounds because the ministry under the previous government decided to concentrate activity south of the border and to close the Torry food research institute.
De berørte parter var naturligvis rystede.
Naturally those involved were appalled.
Europa-Kommissionen gav også udtryk for sin deltagelse, og jeg er glad for dens støtte.
There was concern expressed also by the European Commission and I am grateful for its support.
Dette laboratorium var på forkant med forskning i f.eks. salmonella, E-coli 0157 og pølseforgiftning, og med den nuværende store og velbegrundede bekymring for folkesundheden er det præcist den type laboratorier, der burde fremmes i stedet for at lukkes.
This laboratory was in the forefront of research on, for instance, salmonella, E-coli 0157 and botulism and with the concern about public health which is very real at the moment this is exactly the sort of laboratory that should have been encouraged instead of being closed down.
De af os, der kommer fra området - og jeg repræsenterer denne valgkreds i Skotland - var rystede over den behandling, dette laboratorium fik.
Those of us in the area -and I represent that constituency in Scotland - were appalled at the treatment which was meted out to it.
Jeg er meget glad for, at Kommissionen nu ændrer retsgrundlaget, så Fiskeriudvalget fremover vil blive ind draget i diskussioner af denne art. Specielt når det drejer sig om medlemsstater, vil Fiskeriudvalget blive hørt om sine synspunkter og holdninger.
The Commission's proposal is concerned only with the decision making procedure in European institutions. It is important to underline that this does not alter, nor can it alter the procedure which is enshrined in Article 366a of the Lomé Convention.
Der er også et problem med gennemskuelighed.
The Article proposes that appropriate action is taken immediately in urgent situations, or in the case where a country refuses consultation.
Vi kan kun opnå større gennem skuelighed ved at blive involveret.
It would be impossible to apply such regulations using such a long and complicated procedure such as that proposed by the committee.
Den Socialistiske Gruppe er meget taknemmelig for, at retsgrundlaget er ændret.
It would also be in breach of the normal procedures envisaged by the Treaty.
Vi håber på fremover at få et udbytterigt samarbejde med fiskerikommissæren om sådanne spørgsmål.
On the other hand, it is of course appropriate to review more closely the potential for an increased role for Parliament in the implementation of the sanction clause, otherwise referred to in the text as the non-executive clause.
Jeg støtter denne betænkning på vegne af Den Socialistiske Gruppe.
The Commission is quite prepared to investigate how this could be accomplished.
FORSÆDE: Antoni GUTIÉRREZ DÍAZ Næstformand
President. - Thank you very much, Mrs Gradin.
På det tidspunkt, hvor jeg forsøgte at tage denne sag op, fik jeg at vide, at det ikke var en sag for Europaparlamentet, og jeg blev kritiseret for at gøre det.
At the time when I tried to raise this I was told it had nothing to do with the European Parliament and I was criticized for doing so.
Hvad der er fascinerende for kendere af Parlamentets procedurer, er, at retsgrundlaget pludseligt er ændret, og at vi et år senere, på et tidspunkt hvor laboratoriet allerede var lukket, og det var for sent at gøre noget, hørte, at »Åh ja, Parlamentet skulle have været inddraget«.
What is quite fascinating for connoisseurs of parliamentary procedure is that suddenly the legal base has been changed and a year later, when the laboratory has aheady been closed and it is too late to affect the result, we are told 'Oh yes, the Parliament should have been involved'.
I sidste måned fik jeg at vide, at retsgrundlaget ville blive ændret, og det nåede til Fiskeriudvalget mandag i denne uge.
Last month I was told that there would be a change in the legal base and so it came to the Fisheries Committee on Monday of this week.
I sidste øjeblik fik vi at vide, at »Ja, I havde ret til at blive hørt, det er også Parlamentets ansvar«.
At the very last minute we were told 'Oh yes, you were quite entitled to be consulted, it is a joint responsibility for the Parliament'.
Det gør hele spørgsmålet mere relevant end måske et enkelt laboratoriums skæbne i en del af Europa.
That makes the whole issue of more relevance than perhaps the fate of one single laboratory in one part of Europe.
Langenhagen (PPE). - (DE) Hr. formand, det forholder sig faktisk således: Nu har BSE-krisen også kastet skygger over fiskeriet, denne gang dog i positiv forstand.
Dury (PSE). - (FR) Madam President, a few seconds to say that of course I voted for the position proposed by Mrs Aelvoet, but I would like to tell everyone that it is impossible to distinguish between a human rights policy vis-à-vis the ACP and the European Union's foreign and security poUcy.
Laboratoriets medarbejdere er spredt for alle vinde.
The laboratory has been scattered to the four winds.
Nogle af forskerne er flyttet ned til York og andre til Norwich.
Some of the researchers there have been moved down to York and some to Norwich.
De er enten blevet landsforvist til England, eller også har de i nogle tilfælde helt mistet deres job.
They have either been exiled to England or, in some cases, lost theh jobs completely.
Jeg er glad for at sige, at noget af arbejdet er bibeholdt i området efter en vedholdende kampagne, og der er fem forskellige enheder i Aberdeen-området, der har overtaget noget af laboratoriets arbejde.
I am glad to say that some of the work has been retained in the area after a very sustained campaign and there are five
Efter min mening er det den slags beslutninger, Parlamentet fremover skal involveres i.
Macartney different units in the Aberdeen area which have taken over some of the laboratory's work.
Det er imidlertid fortid nu, og jeg vil gerne slutte med at hylde alt laboratoriets arbejde.
I would like to think that the spirit of Torry lives on although this is an example of how subsidiarity can be abused by Member States which simply say 'It is our decision, keep your nose out of this one'.
Der vil fortsat være et behov for et sådant arbejde, ikke blot i Skotland, men i hele Europa på samarbejdsplan.
I do think that this is the sort of decision which in the future Parliament should have an involvement in.
Denne procedure finder nu i realiteten anvendelse for første gang i forbindelse med et direktiv, som vedrører sundhedsmæssige betingelser og bestemmelser på fiskeri området, her navnlig kontrol med marine biotoksiner ved produktion og afsætning af levende toskallede bløddyr og fiskerivarer.
This procedure is now being applied, actually for the first time, in the case of the dhective that covers hygiene and health provisions in the fisheries sector, and in this case, in particular, the control of marine biotoxins in the production and marketing of live mussels and fishery products.
Vi har måske her at gøre med et præcedens, hvorved den fælles beslutningstagning bliver den beslutningsprocedure, som også hovedsagelig finder anvendelse på fiskeriområdet.
Perhaps we are deahng with a precedent here, as a result of which the codecision procedure will become the main decisionmaking process in the fisheries sector.
Det er i hvert fald vort krav til regeringskonferencen med henblik på en videreudvikling af Maastrichttraktaten. I Amsterdam vil de 15 EU-regeringer sikkert ikke længere kunne afvise det.
That, in any case, is our request to the Inter-Governmental Conference on the further development of the Maastricht Treaty.
Vedrørende betænkningens indhold: Forslaget indeholder to beslutninger.
As for the content of this report, the proposal contains two decisions.
For det første gennemførelsen af de sundhedsmæssige betingelser for produktion og afsætning af henholdsvis levende toskallede bløddyr og fiskerivarer.
In the first place, there is the implementation of the hygiene provisions for the production and marketing of the abovementioned live mussels and fishery products.
I den forbindelse skal hver medlemsstat udpege et nationalt referencelaboratorium, der bl.a. har til opgave at føre kontrol med marine biotoksiner. Dette har man nu omsider igen efterkommet i Storbritannien.
For this purpose, every Member State has to designate a national reference laboratory which is responsible, in particular, for the control of marine biotoxins.
McMahon (PSE). - (EN) Fru formand, dette er en meget teknisk, men vigtig betænkning, da den drejer sig om fødevaresikkerhed og - hygiejne.
McMahon (PSE). - Madam President, this is a very technical but important report since we are dealing with the question of food safety and hygiene.
Her inden for de seneste par måneder har tyske videnskabsfolk opdaget en mærke lig deformitet hos laks.
Only within the last couple of months scientists in Germany have discovered a strange strain in salmon.
