Først og fremmest er aftalen i lang tid blevet forhindret af Rådets bureaukratiske mangel på forståelse, det vil sige nogle menneskers forbavselse over en ikrafttrædelsen af en traktat, der vil ændre situationen, om end ikke fuldstændigt.
And we must continue along this road if we want to implement the Maastricht Treaty correctly and seek to correct its faults, especially as regards the transparency and effectiveness of the system and its democratic con trol.
Desuden har denne bureaukratiske modstand betydet, at Rådet var ude af stand til at løse problemet med undersøgelsesudvalgene, først og fremmest internt.
Furthermore, if this was not done, the establishment of citizenship of the Union, whose true nature is based on a political relationship, could not fully resolve the question of the political relationship between the citizens and the Union.
Rådets og medlemslandenes bureaukratier må lære at anerkende, at også i fællesskabssystemet er der en demokratisk repræsentation, som ikke kan ignoreres eller betragtes som andenrangs.
However, Parliament cannot say it is satisfied, despite this progress, despite the major advances in the area of codecision and the Ombudsman which are areas that will be referred to by later speakers.
Derfor er det belgiske for mandskabs anstrengelser så meget desto mere prisværdige - vi ville gerne have set det her i dag - idet de har gjort det muligt at gennemføre en række aftaler.
In fact, quite the opposite. Still pending is the hugely important matter of the regulation of the committees of inquiry, a Treaty rule that cannot be side-stepped - and we would certainly not consent to that - and which must be tackled in the coming weeks.
Det er nød vendigt at fortsætte ad denne vej for at anvende Maastricht-Traktaten korrekt og forsøge at rette dens fejl, navnlig med hensyn til systemets åbenhed og effektivitet og den demokratiske kontrol.
We trust that the impetus generated with this agreement will not peter out, but rather help to settle this and other outstanding matters.
Med hensyn til indholdet tror jeg, at den europæiske ombudsmandsinstitution er af afgørende betydning for at fremme kontakten mellem borgerne og fællesskabsinstitutionerne.
We would have liked to have detected a true spirit of transparency governing the regulation of the Ombudsman, as far as provision of documents is concerned.
Disse anses netop på grund af deres kompleksitet, uigennemskueligheden og deres fysiske afstand fra borgerne som abstrakte og fremmede.
I shall not dwell on this but I feel I have to say that the main obstacle has not been the much-abused Bruxelles bureau cracy, but rather other bureacracies that are less keen to have their procedures open to scrutiny.
Men det har været et godt initiativ at skabe et organ, hvor man kan henvende sig med sine klager over dårlig administration i Fælles skabets organer og institutioner. Ydermere viser erfaringen i talrige medlemslande, og ikke i Unionen, denne institutions nytte og dens kompatibilitet med systemet med andragender til Parlamentet.
At the procedural level it is essential to confirm that this decision is primarily a task for Parliament. It is a legislative act for which Parliament is responsible.
Afgrænsningen af de respektive beføjelser skal tage hensyn til borgernes interesse i at have en bred vifte af muligheder og trække på princippet med forbundne kar. som flere gange med rette er blevet fremhævet af Udvalget for Andragender, som jeg har æren af at være formand for.
I want to reaffirm this procedural aspect because I am afraid lest such an important innovation be confined to the approval of a series of agree ments with the other institutions.
Men den ombudsmand, der indføres ifølge Unionstraktaten, er en parlamentarisk ombudsmand.
This is the first time that Parliament, acting under its own primary responsibility, is adopting a legislative text.
Det er netop Parlamentet, der skal fastlægge reglerne for funktionen med Rådets god kendelse, ombudsmanden skal henvende sig til Parlamentet ved afslutningen af sine undersøgelser, og hvis hans arbejde forhindres.
Citizens of Member States need to know, Mr President, that the European Parliament is committed to ensuring that the other institutions do not merely pay lip-service to transparency but actually put it into practice; Community legislation must be codified and clarified so that everyone can understand it: you cannot expect respect for rules that cannot be grasped or understood.
Det drejer sig således om en parlamentarisk ombudsmand, hvis magt blot er at fastslå fakta og afsløre dårlig administration i institutionerne og fællesskabsorganerne.
Those of us who work with the Law know that this is the main requisite for effective enforcement of rules.
Denne relative mangel på magt kompenseres i størstedelen af landene med brede under søgelsesbeføjelser, som kun kommer til kort over for militær- og statshemmeligheder.
The Council's legislative meetings should be truly open, in the interests, not just of this Parliament's control, but of all Member States' Parliaments, who need to know what positions their governments adopt in decisions affecting everyone in the Community.
Vanskelighederne med at nå til en aftale har netop været disse.
And also, of course, in the interests of keeping its citizens informed.
Parlamentet krævede, at ombudsmanden, om end med de nødvendige forpligtelser med hensyn til diskretion over for institutionerne og personerne, skulle have adgang til alle institu tionernes oplysninger, uden forhindringer som fortrolig hed, som desuden er et vagt begreb fra et juridisk synspunkt eller i hvert tilfælde ikke defineres ens i medlemslandene.
This is the only way, Mr President, we can stop them feeling that the Union is something remote and impenetrable and make them identify with it as a means of winning back their wellbeing and, above all, Mr President, as a way out of despair.
Rådets accept af en løsning i overens stemmelse med Parlamentets ønsker har betydet, at der blev løst op for blokeringen af forhandlingerne.
With regard to the content, I believe that the creation of the European Ombudsman is a decision of fundamental importance to promoting contacts between the citizens and the Community institutions.
Aftalen har derefter gjort det muligt at garantere, at der ikke var urimelige blokeringer af sager forelagt inden for en rimelig tid.
The latter, because of their complexity, their lack of transparency, their physical distance from the people, are often perceived as abstract and alien.
Desuden er man efter Parlamentets ønske blevet enig om, at budgettet for ombudsmanden skulle være forbundet med Parlamentets.
Parliament had opened the road to closer relations with the citizens by creating a system of petitions, now enshrined in the Treaty, which has borne some fruit in terms of control of the application of Community law by the Member States.
På den anden side har man ikke kunnet opnå, at ombudsmanden skulle aflægge ed for Parlamentet.
But the creation of a body to which one could refer complaints against acts of maladministration by the Community bodies and the institutions was a timely measure.
For øvrigt er dét, at ombudsmanden aflægger ed for Domstolen, et klart bevis for den uafhæn gighed, som Traktaten kræver.
For the rest, the experience of many Member States, and not of the Union, has shown that this body is useful and also compatible with the system of petitions to Parliament.
I den henseende må vi ændre den nylig vedtagne forretningsorden i overenstemmelse med den forpligtelse, som vor formand med rette påtog sig ved den interinstitutionelle konference den 25. oktober.
When the respective powers are demarcated, it must be realised that it is in the interests of the citizens to have a wider range of methods of appeal and that all this must be inspired by the principle of communicating vessels, as stated on several occasions by the Committee on Petitions which I have the honour to chair.
Jeg vil nu gerne gå videre til det andet aspekt af mit indlæg.
Furthermore, the Ombudsman set up by the Treaty on European Union is a parliamentary Ombudsman.
Et af elementerne i aftalen med Rådet og Kom missionen vedrører Parlamentets beslutning om ombudsmandens statut og grundlaget for hvervets udførelse.
So it is up to Parliament, with the approval of the Council, to determine the rules governing the performance of his duties, it is to Parliament that the Ombudsman must turn when he has completed his inquiries or in the event of any hindrance to his activities.
Det er en lovgivningsmæssig beslutning, som hører under Parlamentet.
BINDI (PPE). - (IT) Mr President, I would like to split my brief introduction into two parts.
Rådet skal give sin samstemmende udtalelse, medens Kommissionen, som ombudsmanden først og fremmest skal overvåge, skal give en udtalelse.
First I must emphasize that the agreements reached with the Council on the implementation of the Maastricht Treaty are a major procedural and political innovation.
Jeg gentager dette proceduremæssige aspekt, fordi jeg
They reflect, in a quite new way, the interinstitutional relations created by the entry into force ofthat treaty.
Jeg tror, at Parlamentets første kamp for gennemførelsen af Unionstraktaten krones med success.
We can certainly not say that we are entirely satisfied.
Ganske vist har Rådets og medlemslandenes bureaukratiske modstand stærkt begrænset forpligtelserne med hensyn til gennem-
First of all, for a long time the agreement was impeded by the bureaucratic incomprehension of the Council, one might even say by the amazement of some people at the entry into force of a
skuelighed. Selvfølgelig har diskussionerne kastet lys på de afgørende punkter i Traktaten, som skal ændres, hvis vi ønsker et helt demokratisk system.
Parliament of the Council common position - be governed by all our procedural discipline, in other words, by both the rules applicable to the Conciliation Committee, or the second committee, in compliance with article 189B, and those rules that we have added in our resolution, which are clearly rules for both committees.
BRU PURÓN (PSE), ordfører. - (ES) Hr. formand, jeg tilslutter mig hr. Gil­Robles' og fru Bindis opfordring til, at Parlamentet vedtager nærværende betænkninger og dermed godkender de interinstitutionelle aftaler, der blev indgået den 25. oktober.
Thirdly, the quality of the agreement is seen in what I call procedural discipline which refers to issues that, although of a procedural nature, are also ones of substance, in so far as they provide the best path for agreement and strike a balance between both competences and bring us to this agreement.
Den primære grund til, at jeg anmoder Parlamentet om at godkende aftalerne, er, at selve princippet om interinsti­tutionelle aftaler i sig selv er godt.
This relative absence of powers is compensated in most countries by an extensive power of inquiry, limited only by the needs of military or state secrecy.
Det er efter min mening en god teknik, der skaber mere harmoni end konfrontation, og det er altid positivt.
The reason for the difficulty in reaching agreement was as follows.
Til sidst et par ord om fremtidsperspektiverne for proce­duren med fælles beslutningstagning i henhold til artikel 189 B. Efter min mening må Parlamentets umiddelbare krav med hensyn til institutionelle reformer være, at denne procedure generaliseres til at omfatte hele lovgiv­ningsvirksomheden.
Parliament demanded that the Ombudsman should have access to all the information held by the institutions, apart from the need for discretion towards the institutions and individuals, without any obstacles such as confidentiality, which in any case is a concept that is not clearly defined by law or not defined in a uniform way by the Member States.
Samarbejdsproceduren i henhold til 189 C er efter indførelsen af proceduren med fælles beslutningstagning radikalt forældet.
The fact that the Council accepted a solution in line with Parliament's wishes made it possible to unblock the negotiations.
At proceduren i henhold til artikel 189 C er stoppet op her, viser, at den er forældet.
On the other hand Parliament did not manage to ensure that the Ombudsman should take an oath before it.
Det er, hvis det må være mig tilladt at anvende denne sammenligning, ligesom et coitus interruptus, der som bekendt er så sterilt og frustrerende, at det medfører alle mulige former for tungsindighed.
In this context, we should amend the recently approved regulations so that they are consistent with the undertaking rightly given by our President during the interinstitutional conference of 25 October.
ROTHLEY (PSE). ­ (DE) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, man kan være en passioneret demokrat, man kan være en overbevist europæer, man kan tro på, at Europas frie folk finder sammen i et europæisk demokrati, man kan også hengive sig til det håb, at der med demokratise­ringen af Den Europæiske Union kan tages et vigtigt skridt til den yderligere integration.
All of this is important. But the most significant thing of all is that Council has picked up something we have been demanding for many years in our interinstitutional tripartite dialogue: the presence, albeit without a vote, of the Commission - up to the last minute; and the reciprocal transparency of the votes of both institutions in the committee.
Der er blot én ting, man så ikke må gøre, man må ikke læse den interinstitu­tionelle aftale om demokrati, åbenhed og nærhed!
I believe that the first battle fought by Parliament for the implementation of the Treaty on Union has ended in success.
Åben­bart tror Kommissionen og Rådet, at integration ovenfra også i fremtiden er den rigtige vej. Det er en stor fejltagelse. Denne union vil ikke kunne bestå uden et virkeligt demokratisk fundament.
True, the resistance of the bureaucrats in the Council and the Member State has set marked limits to the undertakings on transparency.
Vi har med Parlamentets beslutning af 17. december 1992 tilstræbt at fjerne usikkerhedsmomenterne, og det glæder mig, at Rådet har samarbejdet herom, også selv om det kun har haft en konstaterende rolle; eksempelvis bibeholdes ordningen med kontakter forud for førstebehandlingen.
I believe that the Parliament's immediate request in the area of institutional reforms should be to have this procedure made general to all legislative activity.
At aftalen udfylder denne mangel er i sig selv nok til at gøre den til en succes.
The so-called cooperation procedure or 189C has become, with the advent of the codecision pro cedure, quite obsolete.
Også en bemærkning vedrørende ombudsmanden.
It really has no place in this Parliament.
Der findes her to bestemmelser.
The cooperation procedure lacks two fundamental mental
For det første artikel 6: »Ombudsmanden udnævnes af Europa­Parlamentet efter hvert valg til Europa­Parlamentet og for hele valgperio­den. Hans mandat kan forlænges.« Jeg er fuldstændig indforstået med dette.
BRU PURON (PSE), rapporteur. - (ES) Mr President, I would echo the requests made by my distinguished colleagues Mr Gil-Robles and Mrs Bindi to vote in favour of these reports and, by extension, of the interinstitutional agreements of 25 October last.
Så er der artikel 15: »Den første ombudsmand, der udnævnes, efter at traktaten om Den Europæiske Union er trådt i kraft, udnævnes for den resterende del af valgperioden.« Dette kunne man også være indforstået med, hvis den resterende del af valgpe­rioden ikke kun varede et halvt år.
things: the co-decison procedure - through this commit tee-based conciliation - and the final say, the yea or nay, which is given to Parliament: let us hope we do not have too much recourse to it, but it is vital that we have it. The article 189C procedure is left, as if dead, patently obsolete.
Man vil således med denne bestemmelse enten spilde skattemidler eller tvinge det Parlament, der vælges næste år, til at acceptere den nu valgte ombudsmand.
If you allow me the expression, it is something of a coitus interruptus - sterile and frustrating - causing all kinds of misery.
Det ville i højeste grad være ude­mokratisk.
First of all, I advocate a vote in favour because the agreements are good in themselves.
PRAG (PPE). ­ (EN) Hr. formand, generelt skal disse interinstitutionelle aftaler eller tekster hilses meget vel­komne, og den omstændighed, at de i stigende grad tages i anvendelse, er et tegn på Parlamentets øgede reelle betydning i Fællesskabets traktatmæssige procedurer.
ROTHLEY (PSE). - (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, one can be a passionate democrat, one can be a convinced European, one can believe that the free people of Europe will come together in a European democracy, but one can also hope that the democratization of the European Union will constitute a major step forward to further integration.
Vedrørende åbenhed sker der omsider noget.
But then there is just one thing one must not do, which is to read the interinstitutional agreement on democracy, transparency and subsidiarity!
Rådets beslutning om at offentliggøre afstemningsresultater og stemmeforklaringer og navnlig begrundelserne for dets fælles holdninger er overordentlig glædelig. Dette er forbedringer, som vi i lang tid har presset på for at få.
The Commission and the Council obviously believe that integration from above will be the right course to take in future too. That is a big mistake.
Men det vigtigste af alt er, at Rådet har tilsluttet sig et krav, som Parlamentet ofte har genta­get i forbindelse med de interinstitutionelle triloger, nemlig at Kommissionen deltager i alle faser af Forligs­udvalgets arbejde ­ ganske vist uden stemmeret, men
But, above all, because point 14 of the Interinstitutional Agreement recognizes that the first committee, that is, the voluntary committee - that can be convened when there is an actual or intended rejection by
Parlamentet må være en lærestreg, og at vi i fremtiden klart må opstille vore prioriteter og ikke afvige fra dem.
But we did so, and I think that this will have to serve as a lesson to this Parliament and that we shall in future have to establish clearly our priorities and not back down from them.
Vedrørende de forbedringer med hensyn til åbenhed, der er lovet i erklæringen om demokrati, åbenhed og nærhed, er det virkelig nu op til os og pressen og medierne generelt at kræve dem og udnytte dem fuldt ud.
On the improvements in openness promised in the declaration on democracy transparency and subsidiarity, it is really up to us now and up to the press and media in general to insist on them and to take full advantage of them.
Jeg er ikke i tvivl om, at Rådet vil forsøge at sikre, at denne erklæring om åbenhed betyder så lidt som muligt.
I have no doubt that the Council will try to ensure that this declaration on openness means as little as possible.
Vedrørende forlig glæder jeg mig meget over den form for officielle status, som den uformelle praksis med drøftelser mellem Rådet, Parlamentet og Kommissionen har fået, inden en fælles holdning vedtages, fordi det er en praksis, som har vist sig nyttig.
On conciliation, the granting of a sort of official status to the informal practice of talks between the Council, Parliament and the Commission before a common position is adopted is very welcome because it is a practice which has proved useful.
Med hensyn til selve forligsudvalgene er teksten også meget velkommen undtagen ét punkt: Parlamentet har altid krævet, at vi også skulle have ret til at anmode om, at der indkaldes et forligsudvalg.
With regard to the conciliation committees themselves, that text too is welcome except for one point: Parliament has always insisted that we too should have a right to ask for a conciliation committee to be convened.
Denne ret burde være optaget i teksten.
That right should have been incorporated in the text.
Jeg håber, at alle vil stemme for vore ændringsforslag, som gør dette klart.
I hope that all the Member States will realize the dangers of such a development.
AGLIETTA (V). - (IT) Hr. formand, jeg vil blot tale om åbenhed og demokrati.
AGLIETTA (V). - (IT) Mr President, I shall speak only on transparency and democracy.
Hvis befolkningen lyttede til de indlæg, navnlig fra ordførerne, som holdes her i salen, ville de ikke forstå noget som helst: Rådet vil fortsat forhandle for lukkede døre, når det lovgiver.
If our people could hear the statements, in particular those by our rapporteurs, being made here in this Assembly, they would not understand a word: the Council, in its legislative capacity, will continue to deliberate behind closed doors.
Og dette er netop det grundlæggende krav fra Parlamentet til Rådet og Kommissionen, et krav, som der ikke er taget hensyn til i den interinstitutionelle aftale, der i den grad fremhæves og bruges som eksempel.
And that was Parliament's main request to the Council and the Commission, a request that has not been met in this interinstitutional agreement that is being so highly praised and held up as a model.
Med hensyn til åbenhed og demokrati er det vanskeligt at indgå kompromiser, og det er ikke nødvendigt at gøre det.
On the question of transparency and democracy it is difficult to compromise, and there should be no need to do so.
Jeg ville netop sige til de kolleger, der har talt, navnlig hr. Rothley og hr. De Gucht, at her tror jeg de er enige med min gruppe, at De Grønne vil stemme imod, hvis der ikke vedtages et ændringsfor slag om at forkaste godkendelsen af aftalen om demokrati og åbenhed, det vil sige, at denne del af aftalen afvises.
However, I would like to say to those Members who have spoken, in particular Mr Rothley and Mr De Gucht, that in this area I believe they share the opinion of my group, for the Greens will vote against, failing the adoption of an amendment designed to separate the approval of the agreement on democracy and transparency, i.e. to reject that part of the agreement.
I så tilfælde vil vor gruppe derfor i overensstemmelse med Parlamentets indstilling og anmodninger finde sig tvunget til at stemme imod den interinstitutionelle aftale.
In that case, therefore, our group would be forced for the sake of consistency with the positions taken and requests made by Parliament to vote against the interinstitutional agreement.
Afslutningsvis vedrørende nærhedsprincippet må vi nøje holde øje med, at acquis communautaire og bestemmelserne i de eksisterende traktater ikke drages i tvivl. Det er det, erklæringen lover.
DE GUCHT (LDR). - (NL) Mr President, one of the consequences of the Maastricht Treaty is that the three institutions will regularly have to conclude agreements on problems that arise between the institutions and that in one way or another are subject to co-decision.
Men hvis dette ikke skulle ske, og hvis acquis communautaire skulle begynde at blive draget i tvivl, vil loven på europæisk plan blive undermineret. Dette må ikke ske.
In other words, this practice of interinstitutional agreements is important to this Parliament, if we wish to make the most of what was agreed upon in Maastricht and if we wish to make progress in the future.
MUSSO (RDE). - (FR) Hr. formand, i modsætning til det, jeg har hørt på, siden denne forhandling begyndte, hører jeg ikke til dem, der fryder sig og føler sig stolte over denne interinstitutionelle aftale og mener, at vi pludselig er blevet mere betydningsfulde.
MUSSO (RDE). - (FR) Mr President, I must disagree with what I have heard since the start of this debate, because I am not one of those who take delight or pride in this institutional agreement and believe that we have acquired greater importance all of a sudden.
Jo, for selvom aftalen er i orden for så vidt angår ombudsmanden, så er den det ikke - som nogle af de umiddelbart foregående talere har påpeget - når det gælder selve grundlaget, det væsentligste, nemlig demokratiet. kratiet.
Because the agreement may be staisfactory as regards the ombudsman but as regards the essential basis and, most importantly, democracy it is not - and some of those speaking immediately before me have made that point.
Ingen gennemskuelighed og intet demokrati.
There is no transparency and no democracy.
Vi har givet køb, når det gælder gennemskud ighed og demokrati, og vi går for at være garanter for gennemskuelighed og demokrati over for Europas folk.
We have given in on transparency and democracy and yet we are supposed to be the guardians of transparency and democracy on behalf of the peoples of Europe.
