Hr. formand, jeg er frem for alt også glad for, at De vil erkende Deres egne fejl og indrømme, at der i de europæiske institutioner, herunder Europa-Parlamentet, er alt, alt for få kvinder, der opnår højere stillinger, og eftersom De har sagt dette så klart, går jeg naturligvis ud fra, at De i de kommende to et halvt år vil benytte lejligheden til drastisk at ændre procedurerne for ansættelse af personale og for forfremmelser i Parlamentet, således at kvinder også virkelig får en chance for at gøre karriere.
Mr President, I am particularly pleased that you are prepared to place your hand on your heart and to concede that in the European institutions, including the European Parliament, there are far too few women in senior posts. And because you have stated that so clearly I assume that over the next two and a half years you will, among other things, take the opportunity to make drastic changes to Parliament's recruitment and promotion procedures, in order that women, too, can be afforded the chance to make a career.
Jeg håber, at vi i april vil tale udførligt med hinanden om kvindeanliggender, og at det så også bliver under Kommissionens og hr. Santers tilstedeværelse. Jeg takker Dem for denne erklæring. ring.
I hope that in April, in the presence, then, of the Commission and Mr Santer, we shall be able to speak together about women's issues on a broader front.
Hvis ingen gør indsigelse, betragter jeg den som god kendt.
President - The Minutes of yesterday's sitting have been distributed.
Hory (ARE). - (FR) Hr. formand, med udgangspunkt i forretningsordenens artikel 19, stk. 4, vil jeg gerne både takke og lykønske Dem.
Hory (ARE). - (FR) Mr President, on the basis of Rule 19 (4) of our Rules of Procedure, I should like to offer you my thanks and my congratulations.
Alle ved, at Parlamentet har nedkaldt de franske myndigheders vrede på grund af den beslutning, det vedtog den 20. februar mod racisme og fremmedhad.
Everyone in this Chamber knows that Parliament aroused the anger of the French authorities by the resolution it adopted on 20 February against racism and xenophobia.
Selvom Europa-Parlamentet er den institution, som har det procentvis største antal kvindelige medarbejdere på det overordnede administrationsplan, når vi kun lige op på 20 %.
Although the European Parliament is the institution with the highest percentage of women in its higher administrative grades, the figure is barely 20 %.
En effektiv administration kan ikke tillade sig en sådan ulighed.
Efficient aciministration cannot allow this inequality.
Men det drejer sig ikke alene om procentsatser.
It is not, however, merely a question of percentages.
Vi må skifte holdning, revidere proceduren for adgang til udøvelse af offentlige funktioner i Europa, tilbyde erhvervsuddannelsesprogrammer, der åbner nye perspektiver for mobilitet, og tilbyde reelle muligheder for udvikling af en erhvervskarriere og et familieliv for både kvinder og mænd.
We need to change attitudes, review the procedure for entry into the European civil service, offer occupational training programmes opening up new horizons for mobility and provide real opportunities for both women and men to pursue a career and have a family.
Da det er min gruppe, Den Radikale Alliance, der tog initiativet til denne beslutning, vil jeg gerne bekræfte, at den var juridisk velbegrundet, og at det i Traktatens præambel fastslås, at både Unionen og medlemsstaterne skal overholde de grundlæggende rettigheder, der er sikret og defineret i Den Europæiske Menneskerettighedskonvention.
It was my group, the European Radical Alliance, which tabled the motion for that resolution, and we wish to restate that it was legally defensible and that the preamble to the Treaty requires the Union and its Member States to respect the fundamental rights as guaranteed and defined by the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights.
Rent juridisk er beslutaingen altså velbegrundet, og da jeg er en af dem, der har udformet den, vil jeg også præcisere, at den ligeledes er politisk berettiget, for vi bad om, at man tilbagekalder et fransk lovforslag og især en bestemmelse om en slags pligt til angiveri for dem, der skulle meddele, at udlændinge, som havde boet hos dem, var rejst derfra.
Legally, then, the resolution was defensible, and as one of the draftsmen of the motion I should like to make it clear that it was also politically defensible, since we were calling for the withdrawal of a French draft law and, especially, of a provision introducing, as it were, compulsory informing by requiring people to report the departure of foreigners to whom they had provided accommodation.
I fredags havde jeg et møde med repræsentanter for den europæiske kvindelobby og en delegation fra det Paritetiske Udvalg for Lige Muligheder for Mænd og Kvinder her i Parlamentet, der forelagde mig en række konkrete forslag til fremskridt inden for opbygningen af et mere solidarisk samfund og en mere effektiv administration.
Last Friday I met representatives from the European Women's lobby and a delegation from the Joint Committee on Equal Opportunities from our institution, who put to me a series of specific proposals for furthering the building of a society with greater solidarity and a more efficient administration.
Jeg lovede inden for rammerne af mine funktioner at arbejde for opnåelsen af disse mål.
I undertook to work within the framework of my office to achieve those objectives.
Jeg er sikker på, at jeg kan regne med afgørende støtte fra forsamlingen hertil.
I know I can count on your firm support for that.
Jeg vil gerne ligesom De tale om denne 8. marts, idet vi ved, at den erklæring, som Kommissionen og dens formand skulle afgive, skabte vanskeligheder i forbindelse med de vigtige sager, som vi
In fact, however, the French Government compounded its error with a more serious one when the French Minister for Foreign Affairs saw fit to say that our Parliament was unworthy of the name of Parliament. I shall not comment on that.
Vi havde altså også politisk ret. Beviset er, at den franske regering endte med at tilbagetrække den mest omdiskuterede bestemmelse.
I would like with you to refer back to this 8 March in the knowledge that the statement that would be issued by the Commission and its president presented difficulties in connection with the important dossiers that we have put on the agenda this morning.
I stedet for at understrege en eller anden mangel fra Parlamentets side burde den takke os for sammen med andre at have bidraget til, at den undgår en politisk brøler.
As the chairman of the Committee on Women's Rights I defer to that, and I am grateful to you for having begun this sitting by referring back to 8 March.
Men den franske regering føjede endnu en brøler til denne sag, da den franske udenrigsminister fandt det for godt at sige, at vort Parlament ikke er værdigt til at bære navnet parlament. Jeg skal undlade at kommentere disse erklæringer.
You mentioned a number of things which are still causing a host of serious problems, such as the preparation of the intergovernmental conference and
Som jeg sagde, vil jeg blot takke Dem, hr. formand, og lykønske Dem med, at De har givet udtryk for Parlamentets faste holdning og samtidig sat hændelsen i et vist perspektiv.
What was important was what the incident revealed: the fact that the French Government, having uttered no condemnation at all of the racist declarations made, has identified as its enemy - the European Parliament! This shows a curious
Hory hele hændelsesforløbet jo var temmelig utroligt.

notion of the balance between the institutions, and tells us what France's position will be in the future conclusions of the Intergovernmental Conference.
Vi for vor del vil sige, at vi fortsat vil gribe ind, hver gang man i en medlemsstat eller uden for Unionen angriber den europæiske humanismes værdier, disse værdier, som vort arbejde på at bygge et Europa er baseret på.
For our part, we wish to state in this House that we shall continue to take action every time a challenge is mounted, within a Member State or outside the Union, to the values of European humanism - the values on which our efforts at European integration are based.
(Bifald)
(Applause from the ARE Group)
Formanden. - Hr. Hory, jeg siger Dem personlig tak, men jeg tror, at jeg må give ordet til dem, der har anmodet om det.
President - Mr Hory, I thank you personally, but I think I must allow those who have asked to speak to do so.
Reaktionen er for os fuldstændig uacceptabel, nemlig når man for det første siger, at spørgsmålet om menneskerettigheder og grundlæggende rettigheder i Den Europæiske Union henhører under de indre anliggender - som hr. Chirac og Hervé de Charette påstod - og for det andet sige, at Europa-Parlamentet har vist, at det er overflødigt.
The reaction of the French Government in saying first that questions of human rights and fundamental freedoms within the European Union are a matter of internal affairs, as Mr Chirac and Mr Hervé de Charette stated, and secondly that the European Parliament has shown that it is superfluous, is completely unacceptable to us.
Jeg mener, at Europa-Parlamentet gennem denne beslutning har bevist nøjagtigt det modsatte, nemlig at det er i stand til at reagere politisk og også at gøre mere end blot at være en marionet, der afgiver højtidelige erklæringer.
My view is that by adopting this resolution the European Parliament showed that it is anything but superfluous - that it is capable of a political reaction and of doing more than just coining formal phrases.
Hr. Hory har lige fremsat en lang politisk udtalelse.
Has Mr Chirac commented at all on his remarks?
Jeg vil blot gerne have, at Parlamentet skal vide, at vi alle har komplimenteret Dem for den værdige holdning, De indtog.
If you have heard of any such developments, I hope you will let us know.
Men jeg vil også gerne spørge Dem, om man har modtaget nogen reaktion fra den franske regerings side. Har man på en eller anden måde undskyldt det, som udenrigsministeren sagde?
Green (PSE). - Mr President, last Thursday at the Conference of Presidents every group leader present at that meeting offered to you their personal congratulations, and those of their group, for the very dignified stand that you took in Paris in support of this Parliament and its resolutions.
Jeg mener, at en undskyldning i det mindste ville være på sin plads.
Mr Hory has just made a long political statement.
Formanden. - Mange tak, fru Roth.
President - Thank you very much, Mr Roth.
Jeg betragter sagen som afsluttet, og jeg fandt derfor ikke nogen form for politiske undskyldninger nødvendige, særlig fordi hr. Hervé de Charette i sit indlæg i Den Franske Nationalforsamling tilkendegav sin respekt for Europa-Parlamentet.
I regard the matter as closed and I therefore naturally did not think that any kind of public apology was needed, especially since Mr Hervé de Charette, when addressing the French As semblée Nationale, expressed his respect for the European Parliament.
Yderligere skal jeg højst sandsynligt i de kommende uger have et møde med hr. de Charette i Rom for, som det er naturligt, at behandle de vigtigste emner, der interesserer Europa-Parlamentet på regeringskonferencen.
What is more, I shall very probably be meeting Mr de Charette in Rome within the next few weeks to deal, of course, with the most important topics which are of interest to this Parliament and to the Intergovernmental Conference.
Martens (PPE). - (NL) Hr. formand, på vor gruppes vegne har jeg skrevet et brev til Dem for at udtrykke vor glæde over den holdning, som De har indtaget, og jeg fremhæver, at også vor franske delegation var fuldtallig til stede på den reception, som De holdt i Paris, og at den, solidarisk med vor gruppe, har godkendt Deres holdning.
Martens (PPE). - (NL) Mr President, on behalf of our group I have written to you to congratulate you on your stance, and I must point out that all of our French Members were at your reception in Paris and that they have joined with the rest of our group in agreeing with your stance.
Jeg bekræfter det over for Dem her.
I confirm that to you now.
Dette var, tror jeg, også et af de emner, som blev drøftet under Formandskonferencen; vi må se, hvornår vi træffer beslutninger om uopsættelige spørgsmål her i Forsamlingen, og sørge for, at dette sker på en repræsentativ måde.
This subject was also discussed, I believe, in the Conference of Presidents. When we discuss urgent subjects in this House, we must ensure that we do so in a representative manner.
De fremhæver, og det vil jeg lige bemærke, at de uopsættelige spørgsmål skal stå på vor dagsorden på et vigtigt tidspunkt.
You have emphasized - and I will say it myself - that the topical and urgent debate must occupy a more favourable position in the part-session.
Jeg kan ikke gøre andet, hr. formand, end understrege Deres udtalelse og sige, at jeg også på vor gruppes vegne fuldstændigt tilslutter mig dette.
I can only endorse your words, Mr President, and say, on behalf of my group, that we are in full agreement with you on that.
Jeg har konstateret en udeladelse i det fuldstændige forhandlingsreferat vedrørende beslutningsforslaget om menneskerettighedskonferencen i Genève.
I have noted an omission in the verbatim report in connection with the resolution on the human rights meeting in Geneva.
Der er efter min opfattelse frem for alt talt om Kina, og jeg har ved den lejlighed også opfordret delegationen fra De Forenede Staters Kongres, som sad her på tilhørerpladserne, til sammen med os i Genève at forsvare visse værdier og menneskerettigheder med hen syn til Kina.
I refer in particular to what was said concerning China. I urged the delegation from the United States Congress which was present in the gallery at the time to speak up for human rights in China in line with our established values.
Det har jeg ikke fundet i referatet, og jeg håber, at det kan rettes, hr. formand.
I cannot find this in the verbatim report, Mr President, and I hope that a correction can be made.
Formanden. - Vi vil efterse, om der virkelig skulle mangle noget af det, der er blevet sagt, eller nogen beslutning i protokollen.
President - Mrs van Bladel, we shall check to see whether part of a speech or of a resolution has in fact been omitted from the Minutes.
Puerta (GUE/NGL). - (ES) Hr. formand, det glæder mig, at vi alle benytter vor ret til at tage ordet, selvom vi gentager hinanden, fordi det allerede sidste torsdag var klart, at alle grupperne var enige, og for så vidt angår min gruppe gav jeg udtryk for samtlige medlemmers opfattelse, nemlig at De på storslået vis havde repræsenteret Europa-Parlamentet i Paris, og at Deres handling ikke var udtryk for nogen form for indgreb i noget lands suverænitet eller dets indenrigspolitiske handlinger - i dette til fælde Frankrig - men at De havde forfægtet nogle grundlæggende rettigheder for borgerne, som Europa-Parlamentet er forpligtet til at ytre sig om. De gjorde Deres pligt.
Puerta (GUE/NGL). - (ES) Mr President, I am pleased that we are all taking the opportunity to speak even though we are making the same points, because it already became clear last Thursday that all groups were unanimous. In the case of my group I expressed the view of all Members who thought that you had upheld the European Parliament's position splendidly in Paris and that your action in no way constituted interference in sovereignty or in the domestic policy of any country - in this case France - but rather that you had stood up for some of the citizens' basic rights on which the European Parliament is obliged to pronounce.
Og De gjorde det meget godt, hvorfor samt lige gruppeformænd her i forsamlingen står bag Dem.
You fulfilled your obligation and fulfilled it very well, as all chairmen of Groups in this House agree.
Fortsæt ad denne vej, hr. formand, med denne skønsomhed og fasthed.
Keep to this course, Mr President, with this prudence and this strength.
Nordmann (ELDR). - (FR) Hr. formand, jeg vil godt vende tilbage til det spørgsmål, hr. Hory stillede, ikke - til forskel fra hans indlæg - for at indlede en franskorienteret debat her, hvilket ville være ganske irrelevant, men for at spørge, om det er muligt af denne hændelse at drage visse positive konklusioner vedrørende vore uopsættelige debat ter.
Nordmann (ELDR). - (FR) Mr President, I want to return for a moment to the question raised by Mr Hory, though unlike him I do not want to initiate a Franco-French debate, which would be inappropriate. I wanted to ask you whether this incident might serve as a basis for a number of positive conclusions regarding the holding of our topical and urgent debates.
Disse debatter blev indført i 1979, hvor vort Parlament endnu ikke havde alle de beføjelser, navnlig lovgivningsmæssige, som det har i dag, og hvor det ønskede at manifestere sig som en slags forum.
Those debates were instituted in 1979, at a time when this Parliament did not yet hold all the powers it holds today, especially the legislative powers, when it was trying to establish itself as a kind of forum.
Roth (V). - (DE) Hr. formand, jeg vil også gerne sige tak.
Roth (V). - (DE) Mr President, I too should like to express my thanks, and my belief that you were right to react immediately because the whole incident really was quite incredible.
Udviklingen i vort arbejde har ført til, at disse uopsættelige debatter udskydes til et tidspunkt i mødeperioden,
Even apart from that problem, there are numerous questions about the admissibility of texts and particularly the admissibility of amendments, espe-
Nordmann ikke omfatter Gruppen af Uafhængige for Nationernes Europa.
Nordmann cially last-minute amendments.
Det er for eksempel kutyme, at man ikke i en uopsættelig debat drøfter et spørgsmål, som vort Parlament har diskuteret i forbindelse med udarbejdelsen af en betænkning.
It is customary, for example, not to raise in a topical and urgent debate a question that has been debated by Parliament in connection with the preparation of a report.
Det er logisk, at De som formand for Europa-Parlamentet afspejlede flertallets vilje.
You did indeed do what a president of the European Parliament logically must do, and reflected the will of the majority.
Men jeg minder dog alle dem, der fremsætter store erklæringer om vigtigheden af Parlamentets arbejde, om, at den famøse beslutning - mindst den 117. - om racisme og fremmedhad blev vedtaget denne famøse torsdag eftermiddag med 106 stemmer mod 101, og at Parlamentet i realiteten underminerede sin egen troværdighed ved at udtale sig, som det gjorde denne torsdag eftermiddag, om stadigt mere forskellige emner, der behandles stadigt mere overfladisk.
Nevertheless, I would remind all those who make ringing declarations on the importance of Parliament's activities that this famous - and umpteenth -resolution on racism and xenophobia was adopted on that memorable Thursday afternoon by 106 votes to 101, and that in actual fact, by expressing its opinion as it does on Thursday afternoons about a more and more varied and less and less carefully considered range of subjects, the European Parliament undermines its own credibility.
Regeringskonferencen viser betydningen af spørgsmålet om forholdet mellem vort Parlament og de nationale parlamenter.
The holding of the Intergovernmental Conference raises a serious question about relations between our Parliament and the national parliaments.
Er det fornuftigt, at spørgsmål, der er drøftet, men endnu ikke afgjort af de nationale parlamenter, kan afgøres ad omveje ved hjælp af en uopsættelig beslutning, det vil sige rent faktisk uden forudgående betænkning?
Is it reasonable that questions that have been debated but not yet settled by the national parliaments can be settled by the device of an urgent resolution, which in fact means with no prior report?
Det, den franske udenrigsminister, Hervé de Charrette, sagde, var kun en afspejling af, hvad enhver objektiv observatør kan tænke om indholdet af Parlamentets beslutninger. Parlamentet tøver ikke med at udtale sig om alle mulige emner. Det har det gjort her i eftermiddag samtidig med, at et nationalt parlament, der jo er udtryk for en stats suverænitet, som inkarnerer den demokratiske legitimitet, som repræsenterer hele befolkningen, var i færd med at drøfte dette spørgsmål. Det gjorde Parlamentet, selvom det ikke har nogen kompetence på dette område.
That, Mr President, is the kind of question, a troubling one in every way, which must be asked in the wake of this incident, and I should be very grateful if you would refer the matter to the Bureau and the Committee on the Rules of Procedure, the Verification of Credentials and Immunities, so that we can have a procedure for topical and urgent debates which will not give rise to this kind of controversy and will not involve you in another incident of this kind.
Hr. formand, det er den slags interessante spørgsmål, som vi bør stille efter denne hændelse, og jeg vil bede Dem forelægge sagen for Præsidiet og Udvalget for Forretningsordenen, Valgs Prøvelse og Medlemmernes Immunitet, så vi kan få en procedure for aktuelle og uopsættelige spørgsmål, der ikke afføder denne form for kontrovers og dermed sparer Dem for sådanne hændelser.
It did so that afternoon, despite the fact that a national parliament, which is the expression of State sovereignty, the incarnation of democratic legitimation, the representative of an entire national population, was debating that issue.
De bør vide, at den holdning, som er kommet til udtryk, afspejler mange europæiske borgeres holdning.
It did so although it had no jurisdiction in the matter.
Formanden. - Mange tak, hr. Nordmann, men jeg erindrer Dem om, at enhver gruppe kan rejse dette spørgsmål for Formandskonferencen, hvis den finder det fornødent.
President. - Thank you very much, Mr Nordmann, but I would remind you that any Group is entitled to raise this question with the Conference of Presidents if it thinks that is what is needed.
Jeg vil under alle omstændigheder viderebringe Deres ord til Formandskonferencen, og dersom den finder det nødvendigt, vil den undersøge spørgsmålet.
In any event, I shall inform the Conference of Presidents of what you said and they will consider it as they think necessary.
Hr. formand, jeg mener, at vi af denne hændelse kan lære noget andet end det, hr. Nordmann sagde - hvilket jeg for øvrigt var enig i - nemlig at vi skal sikre, at vi torsdag eftermiddag behandler sager, der er velovervejede og falder inden for Parlamentets virksomhedsområde.
I believe, Mr President, that we should learn another lesson from this incident, as well as the one pointed out by Mr Nordmann, which I endorse. We should ensure that texts that appear on Thursday afternoon's agenda are carefully prepared and concern Parliament's areas of responsibility.
Med denne handlemåde har Parlamentet, især under den franske statschefs besøg her i Parlamentet, fået flere lande og herunder Frankrig til at nægte at udvide beføjelserne til et parlament, der ikke fortjener dem.
In following the procedure you know about, especially on the occasion of the visit here by the French Head of State, Parliament will have encouraged several countries, including France, to refuse to extend the powers of a Parliament that does not deserve them.
Formanden. - Hr. Fabre-Aubrespy, jeg skal ikke udtale mig om indholdet af Deres indlæg, som jeg respekterer lige så meget som ethvert andet indlæg.
President - Mr Fabre-Aubrespy, I am not going to comment on the substance of your speech, which I respect as I would any other.
Jeg vil dog gøre Dem opmærksom på, at der i vor forretningsorden ikke findes en artikel, der tillader Parlamentet eller nogen som helst anden at fastslå teksters uantagelighed på grund af deres indhold.
I must, however, call your attention to the fact that there is no provision in our Rules of Procedure authorizing Parliament, or anyone else, to declare texts inadmissible in substance.
Jeg har ikke noget som helst imod dette brev, men imod den måde, hvorpå dette brev har nået mig.
My problem is not with the letter itself, but rather with the way in which it was sent to me.
