von Wogau (PPE). - (DE) Fru formand, mine damer og herrer, tillad mig, at jeg udtaler mig om to væsentlige spørgsmål, for det første stabilitetspagten og for det andet professor Montis handlingsprogram.
We have made considerable progress even though we have not yet reached a consensus; this is also, of course, explained by the terrible unemployment statistics in Europe which now show us that we have no alternative.
D'Andrea (PPE). - (LT) Fru formand, kære kolleger, jeg tror at man i al korthed kan hævde, at det institutionelle spørgsmål ligger til grund for alle spørgsmål i denne fase i Den Europæiske Union.
Van Mierlo, President-in Office of the Council - (NL) Madam President, thank you for the generosity with which you are directing this meeting and the place that you have granted me in it.
Allerførst vedrørende stabilitetspagten.
I am very grateful for the European Parliament's support for two reasons.
De vil huske, at vi har haft meget intense forhandlinger mellem Europaparlamentet, Kommissionen og Rådet om stabilitetspagten.
First of all, because the state ments by one member of your Parliament, Mrs Dury, I think, are quite right: the European Parliament is close to the ordinary people.
Jeg må sige, hr. formænd, at vi har haft en særdeles frugtbar dialog om dette spørgsmål.
That is why I paid particular attention to what has been said here.
Parlamentet forelagde visse ændringsforslag, og jeg vil endnu en gang minde om de vigtigste punkter, som Parlamentet fremsatte.
Unfortunately, it is not possible for me to give everyone a reply because of the time that we have available. But it is not really necessary.
I denne forbindelse vil jeg også betone det positive i den almindelige enighed om indsættelsen i traktaten af den sociale protokol og nye bestemmelser om beskæftigelsen.
Let us not forget that it is, above all, the duty of the States to tackle the problem of employment but that the Community can help.
For det første, at vi er af den opfattelse, at der ved udformningen af stabilitetspagten bør tages højde for den såkaldte gyldne regel, hvorefter investeringerne skal være højere end den nye nettogældsætning.
I should again like to add that, if we are disappointed by Europe, we should remember that the current European crisis is in many respects the sum total of all of the crises in the Member States themselves.
Denne regel er allerede forankret i visse medlemslandes forfatninger, i andres er det endnu ikke tilfældet. De medlemsstater, hvis forfatning indeholder denne regel, har for øjeblikket visse problemer med den, og det viser, at det er en streng regel.
Here the term 'crisis' means the ability to resolve one's own problems and I am not referring to all of the problems which cross our frontiers.
Jeg mener, at det ville være godt, hvis denne regel blev forankret i stabilitetspagten.
The process of forming Europe based on 'give and take' requires a great authority within nations.
Det ville glæde mig meget, hvis det var muligt at opnå et resultat i denne henseende.
That is the problem that we are currently facing in preparing the Summit and we are trying to make progress on this.
Dette vil måske gøre det muligt i en anden institutionel kontekst og med andre fremtidsudsigter at indsætte den tillidspagt, som kommissionsformand Santer så rigtigt foreslog i Firenze, men uden at opnå den håbede konsensus.
I now come to the second reason for my gratefulness: the Presidency must say that we feel very much comforted by the European Parliament over various essential points such as extending codecision, extending the majority decisionmaking process, transferring the third pillar to the first, strengthening the role of the Court of Justice, the attention paid to fundamental rights, to employment and the environment, to mention just a few.
Men vi ved, at der ikke vil blive tale om det Europa, vi ønsker, uden et virkeligt europæisk demokrati, uden fremskridt i henseende til gennemskuelige og forenklede afgørelser, uden en udnyttelse af procedurerne og metoderne i de fælles institutioner, som er i stand til at neutralisere det, som meget rammende er blevet betegnet som en ny nationalisering af befolkningernes tankegang.
I myself have been a member of parliament for 30 years and it is precisely the role of the European Parliament to demonstrate a certain professional dissatisfaction vis-à-vis the progress made in the process of forming Europe.
Det andet punkt, som vi forhandler om, er, at vi er af den opfattelse, at penge, bøder, som betales, skal behandles efter almindelige budgetmæssige principper, dvs. de skal tilflyde Det Europæiske Fællesskabs budget.
Thank God, you have the magnanimity to recognize that progress has been made but you must also be dissatisfied because we are in a process of integration and we need the European Parliament's pressure in order to bring down the difficult frontiers which separate the Member States, of which today I have the honour of being President - but I am sometimes fenced in by existing frontiers.
Jeg ved, at man blandt finansministrene søger efter en ordning uden for budgettet. Men, hr. formænd, jeg har det indtryk, at man her stadig søger efter et retsgrundlag.
Communitarization has to be achieved gradually by challenging the history of our states and that is a task in which the European Parliament plays a vital role, not only today.
Jeg' ved ikke, om man fra Rådets side i søgningen efter et retsgrundlag i mellemtiden er stødt på en løsning uden for det europæiske budget.
I must also mention the role of your President and your two delegates who have followed the process almost constantly and who have been of precious help to us during the debates.
Vi som parlamentarikere er af den opfattelse, at det skal være en løsning inden for det europæiske budget.
That is why yesterday we agreed with the French government and the President of France that EMU measures, and in particular the stability pact, should not be withdrawn - otherwise we would just be messing around and lead to a very confused situation.
Europa-Parlamentets Budgetudvalg har endnu en gang udtrykke ligt bekræftet dette.
But, even if France did not do so, other countries would ask for the same.
Hvordan disse penge så fordeles, må afgøres på et senere tidspunkt.
Nonetheless we have to add a counterweight to employment in the measures which means that it should not be regarded as an isolated fact but as a measure which is linked to the stability pact.
Her er Europaparlamentet også rede til at gøre sig kreative tanker.
If the process is successful that will be very important psychologically.
I forhandlingerne deltog folk som hr. Christodoulou, som allerede tidligere har gjort sig bemærket som opfinder af den negative reserve.
If it is not, then we still cannot say that the Summit is a disaster because we still have six months to play with.
Her er det nødvendigt at gøre sig kreative tanker. Det ville glæde mig meget, hvis vi kunne opnå et resultat.
But it is worth fighting and so far I have noticed that everyone is ready to do just that.
Artiklen om ikkeforskelsbehandling er affattet på en sådan måde, at den først får virkning, når Rådet enstemmigt træffer foranstaltninger dertil.
If we reach an agreement in Amsterdam - and once again the situation does not seem so bad - it is possible that the results will not match our expectations as someone has already emphasized.
Europa-Parlamentet har kun ret til at blive hørt.
But I would say, at once, that it will be more than expected.
Dermed er denne artikel praktisk talt virkningsløs.
Less than hoped for but more than expected.
De nationale parlamenter udelukkes, men Europa-Parlamentet træder ikke i deres sted.
When we met six months ago the European Parliament's tone was far more negative in terms of the expectations.
Dette er en afdemokratisering, som vi også vil gøre vore kolleger i de nationale parlamenter opmærksom på.
I listened to you with humility as becomes an interim director, but nonetheless it was a relatively negative image that I was presented with.
Det er imidlertid ikke kun de demokratiske, men også de retsstatslige mindstenormer, der skal fastholdes, og heriblandt hører, at Domstolen får fuld kompetence på de omtalte områder.
Now hearing you today I felt relieved at hearing such encouraging attitudes and seeing that you support so many aspects of the proposals that are being made.
Men jeg vil også gerne fremhæve noget positivt: Den nye bestemmelser, især i artikel 119 vedrørende kvinders
I am going to refer to the EMU situation. I can perhaps once again repeat that the emphasis of EMU has really been placed
Paasilinna (PSE). - (FI) Fru formand, i dokumentet fra regeringskonferencen er beskæftigelse stadig kun retorik, den sociale sektor uden regelsæt og demokratiet forhindret ved hjælp af bureaukrati.
I should also like to mention transparency which is a major point for all of you. Everyone will have access to the documents in accordance with the rules worked out by the Council and the European Parliament.
Med disse forudsætninger vil Unionen ikke opnå tillid blandt befolkningen.
The European Parliament plays a key role in the application of transparency.
På denne måde kan man ikke gennemføre udvidelsen.
We would have appreciated more openness in Council meetings.
Euroen bliver ikke en stabil valuta, hvis den bygger på massearbejdsløshed og diskrimination.
But we were unable to reach a consensus on this subject.
Det er helt nødvendigt at få indført
Nonetheless the outcome of the votes,
Og hvor er det hyklerisk, når man bagefter siger, at man forsvarer den europæiske kvinde!
Van Mierlo the reasons for votes and other declarations will be made public.
Det kan ikke tilstedes. Hendes forslag fordømmer enstemmigheden og blokeringen af alle disse emner.
Mentioning these two points I note that a certain progress has been made in terms of transparency.
Hvis de små medlemslande fratages muligheden for at have deres egen kommissær, da vil EU's troværdighed i borgernes øjne dale, og EU-ikonen vil forsvinde.
I also noted, in the Euro pean Parliament's resolutions and in what people have said here, that most of the factors of its position match the position taken by the Commission in its opinion back in February 1996.
Dette er stadig skuffende, og man må håbe på, at denne tekst vil blive forbedret i den kommende uge, fordi der i modsat fald vil blive rettet et alvorligt slag mod det europæiske borgerskab.
On the other hand, I should like to pay tribute to you, Mr President, to your predecessor, Mr Hänsch, and to your delegates, Mr Brok and Mrs Guigou, who have consider ably influenced the debate and, I hope, the conclusions of the IGC, at ministerial level but above all at the level of personal representatives.
Det er på sin plads med et tættere samarbejde mellem WEU og EU, når den fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik skal gøres mere effektiv.
Using images is not inoffensive: images plague us sometimes or come back to haunt us, so that we can even end up wondering why on earth we said this or that.
Men en hurtig sammenlægning af WEU i NATO er ikke noget for de finske socialdemokrater.
That may be a profound desire but I do not think that the food will be any the better for it.
Militær alliancefrihed og et troværdigt forsvar har en længere og i hvert fald for Finland en ligeså vellykket historie som indgåelse i en militær alliance.
I understand what Mrs Roth wanted to say and I agree when she said that the citizens want to understand how the Community in which they live actually works.
For øjeblikket forsøger man at indarbejde allianceindgåelse i den nordlige geopolitiske situation, hvori den under de nuværende forhold ville skabe usikkerhed.
I hope that we are going to be able to make a contribution to that which perhaps does not meet all of their expectations but nonetheless we are making progress towards that.
Dury (PSE). - (FR) Fr. formand, af princip og i ligestillingens navn vil jeg ikke hentyde til køkkenudstyr, køkkenredskaber eller mad, det vil jeg overlade til mændene.
Now, Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to concentrate on two essential aspects, which also were the main topics of your speeches.
Endelig er det absolut nødvendigt at afbalancere den monetære stabilitet med økonomisk vækst.
As we know the monetary leg is very well developed and for obvious reasons.
Jeg ved, og det vil jeg gerne slå fast, at den franske regering vil gøre sit yderste.
The stability and growth pact was essentially adopted, substantially, at the last European Council in Dublin.
I de omkring 30 indlæg, vi netop har hørt, har vi i grunden kun hørt tale om det samme.
You know that the negotiations were not easy and led to compromises.
Da vi ikke har nogen ratifikationsbeføjelser, kunne vi sige til os selv, at vi ikke ville beskæftige os med det.
It was therefore the arrangements, not only aims, but the arrange ments and the substance of the stability pact that were adopted.
Jeg vil sige, at der er to årsager til, at vi skal beskæftige os med det.
There is therefore no question of changing that stability pact.
Den første er, at vi ret ofte kommer i kontakt med borgerne, og jeg tror, at det, der er blevet sagt her, ganske godt afspejler deres ønsker.
That would lead to a problem of credibility and confidence, and would have serious effects on confi dence between Member States and, no doubt, on international financial markets.
De har fået nok af et Europa, der giver dem indtryk af, at der ikke tages hensyn til deres dagligdags problemer.
It would be counterproductive, since a thorough policy and budgetary discipline are the guarantees for sustainable growth.
En sidste bemærkning, fru formand, for at udtrykke min glæde over at se den offentlige administration medtaget i traktaten, idet jeg dog beklager, at den på nuværende tidspunkt forbliver under afsnittet om konkurrence. En ændring på dette område ville være velkommen. Lad os håbe, fru formand, at Amsterdam vil få succes og erstatte Maastricht-traktatens medtagne image i europæernes hjerte og sind.
A final remark on democracy, which has often been mentioned here. I have aheady said that I think a certain amount of progress has been made and a good many of you recognized that in your speeches.
Den anden grund er, at selv om vi ikke har ratifikationsbeføjelser i forbindelse med regeringskonferencen, så har vi den samstemmende udtalelse i forbindelse med udvidelserne.
But in the second pillar there is still the possibility of using the right of veto both in the European Council and the General Council, and failure to use the vote of veto may be submitted to Parliamentary criticism and debate.
Endvidere skal også de nationale parlamenter ratificere udvidelserne.
In other words, there really is Parliamentary control over this.
Helt ærligt, hvis udvidelserne ikke forberedes på en god måde, er jeg ikke sikker på, at den offentlige mening vil være positiv over for dem.
In my view, it is more of a transfer of control than a reduction of it.
Katiforis (PSE). - (EL) Hr. formand, jeg vil tillade mig at komme med et historisk citat: »Et spøgelse går gennem Europa«, nemlig de økonomipolitiske forandringers spøgelse. gelse.
Mr President, I could go on for another half an hour if you wanted me to, but I know that you have other interests. I therefore propose stopping here.
Af disse to grunde tror jeg, at den sidste forhandling i Europa-Parlamentet vil være meget nyttig.
IN THE CHAIR: MR GIL-ROBLES President
Jeg vil slutte med at sige, at vi går stærkt ind for demokratiet og Europa-Parlamentets beføjelser.
On the other hand, the economic aspect must be decen• tralized.
Helt ærligt, hvis borgerne, når jeg stiller op til valg, havde indtryk af, at jeg har en reel indflydelse på beslutningerne på europæisk plan, ville jeg personligt ikke have bedt om ordet i dag.
The instrument that is Article 103 should be fully implemented, as the Commission demonstrated in its report on Europe as an economic entity after the Rasmussen initiative.
Jeg ville sige til mig selv, at Parlamentet i sig selv repræsenterer noget vigtigt for borgerne.
The potential of growth of the European economic and its huge internal market should be better exploited.
Izquierdo Rojo (PSE). - (ES) Fru formand, forslaget er endnu utilstrækkeligt og dækker ikke de minimale krav, der er stillet.
President - Thank you very much, Mr van Mierlo.
Hvilken ny økonomisk politik er det så, vi taler om, her i den nye fase, Europa er gået ind i, og som indledtes med de britiske og franske valg?
The Council will have to make full use of the possibility of addressing specific recommendations to the Member States.
For at dette kan ske, må vi opgive afgudsdyrkelsen af markedets almagt og genoprette balancen mellem markedet og den statslige intervention.
Economic policies should be focused on our main priority and you have all, without exception, stressed this morning that that is the aim of the whole policy.
Vort program er produktivitetens genopblomstring, som imidlertid kræver interesse for arbejdstageren og 'en mere retfærdig fordeling af frugterne af arbejdet.
If we manage to add to the growth and stability pact a new dimension, without modifying its substance, but alongside what was done on the basis of

Den tekst, vi har for os, er nemlig alene et ynkeligt dække over nogle af inkonsekvenserne og svag hederne i Maastrichttraktaten.
Article 102A and 103 of the Treaty, then we will have a complete instrument and EMU will then be able to function properly.
De største problemer er endnu ikke løst.
We shall now proceed to the vote. (
Borgerne i Den Europæiske Union føler helt klart, at Europa har bevæget sig væk fra dem gennem de seneste år. Derfor er regeringskonferencen i Amsterdam utrolig vigtig, så vi kan vende tilbage den en dagsorden, som folk forstår.
Including the 'employment' chapter in the Treaty should not be underestimated provided, of course, that it pro vides for the necessary instruments for defining and implementing a common strategy for jobs.
Det er også grunden til, at jeg siger til Rådet, at traktatens afsnit om beskæftigelsespolitik ikke må blive et kosmetisk afsnit.
Of course, I have said this to you many times before: social policy is still the competence of the Member States.
Det skal indeholde en grundig gennem gang af den type instrumenter, Kommissionen og Rådet skal bruge til at tackle den uacceptabelt høje arbejdsløshed i Den Europæiske Union.
But, on the other hand, nobody now can imagine that the Europe of 15 Member States, with 370 million inhabitants, can remain neutral vis-à-vis the main concern of our people, i.e. unemployment.
I denne sammenhæng må vi også sikre, at hvis vi skal have en vækst- og stabilitetspagt, som hr. Caudron var inde på, skal den være velafbalanceret og indeholde elementer af stabilitet, men nok så vigtigt også vækstskabende elementer.
Report (A4-0207/97) by Mrs Carrère d'Encausse, on behalf of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Security and Defence Policy, on the proposal for a Council and Commission Decision on the conclusion of a Protocol to the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States and the Russian Federation (COM(96)0150 - C4-0245/97-96/0106(AVC))
Tanken om at betro Rådets Generalsekretariat beføjelser på dette område er ikke blot en antidemokratisk løsning -FN's generalsekretær står i hvert fald til ansvar over for generalforsamlingen - men også af tvivlsom effektivitet.
Recommendation for second reading by Mr Belleré, on behalf of the Committee on Transport and Tourism, on the common position adopted by the Council with a view to the adoption of the eighth European Parliament and Council Directive on summertime arrange ments (C4-0169/97-96/0082(COD))
Der er ikke nogen reelle hensigter om at revidere kompetenceforholdene inden for Unionen.
(The President declared the common position approved)
Protokollen om subsidiariteten fremtræder som et smukt katalog over principper, men medlemsstaterne har til trods for de engagementer, de har påtaget sig, ikke revideret reglerne på komitologiområdet, hvilket betyder, at de hvert år fortsat vil være begravet i tusinder af bagatelagtige og detaljerede afgørelser.
A year ago, on, 31 January 1996, when I appeared in this Chamber, I had the very distinct impression that the fight had to be fought on two fronts: the EMU front, which is not an end in itself - the single currency is only an instrument for developing an economic and social policy - and on the other hand, the employment front, against unemployment.
Parlamentet er utrolig skuffet over, at der ikke er sket noget for at løse arbejdsløshedsproblemet siden Essen-topmødet, og selv om hr. Santer sagde, at vi skal gøre færre ting bedre, må vi ikke give køb på foranstaltninger, der kan nedbringe arbejdsløsheden. den.
Report (A4-0171/97) by Mrs Read, on behalf of the European Parliament's delegation to the Conciliation Committee, on interconnection in telecommunications with regard to ensuring universal service and inter operability through application of the principles of open network provision (ONP) (C4-0185/97-95/0207(COD))
Jeg vil slutte med en optimistisk bemærkning.
My second remark is that we must now prepare for enlargement.
Der synes at fremkomme gode nyheder fra det sociale Europa at dømme efter tilkendegivelserne i de seneste dage.
Not enough has been said about the pros pects for enlargement here today.
Jeg vil, hr. rådsformand, foreslå, at man til Amsterdam indbyder den administrerende direktør for Renault, idet det for ham til forskel fra Europa-Parlamentet er lykkedes i traktaten at få indsat bestemmelserne om socialpagten.
We have to realize that enlargement to the countries of central and eastern Europe is a unique opportunity and I said as much this morning -an historic chance, for reconciling, for the first time for over 500 years, the whole of our continent with itself, in peace and freedom. This historic chance - we should not miss it.

That is why I think that after Amsterdam, we shall have the strong signal needed for the Commission to continue, in accordance with the strategy that we adopted at the last European Council, towards enlargement.
Jeg er imidlertid klar over, at efter denne forhandling vil beskedenhed fra min side være på sin plads.
If that is the case, and if that assessment is approved by you, then the Commission will be ready.
