Foran ligger også arbejdet med at få en GATT-aftale i hus, som hr. Claes noterede det i sin tale.
I should also like to speak on behalf of millions of women in Europe for whom since the 1970s Europe has been a force for equal treatment, yet whose experience is that there are still many obstacles.
En aftale, som i lang tid har hængt i en tynd tråd, der kan briste og føre til en handelskrig af hidtil uset omfang.
I hope the Belgian Presidency will be able to undertake initiatives in this field too.
Hvad kan og vil formandskabet gøre konkret?
In the sphere of development cooperation, the third field, the Belgian Presidency also has a number of opportunities and there is a good programme.
Det synes jeg ikke, vi har hørt nok om, kun at det er vigtigt, at aftalen kommer i hus.
I hope Belgium can present a new picture of Europe to the world.
Vi er alle klar over, at man må skifte gear, måske endda skifte retning; sandhedens time er kommet.
However, Mr President-in-Office, there are also Cyprus and Malta, and I am sorry not to have heard a single word in your speech about those two countries.
Der er brug for forandring her og nu, og det belgiske formandskab har her givet udtryk for vilje til at gå en lille smule længere, end det er sket indtil nu.
Otherwise, Mr President-in-Office, it will be as if we are punishing Cypms because Turkish forces are continuing to occupy the northern part of the Republic of Cypms and so violating every sense of international law.
Den britiske regering må udsættes for et pres, som kan føre landet ind under den sociale dimension.
No, I am not referring to the typical Belgian language problems, still less do I want to promote a tenth official language.
I dag flytter f.eks. danske virksomheder til Storbritannien for at omgå de fælles regler for arbejderbeskyttelse og miljø, og dette er klart i modstrid med Fællesskabets idé.
I mean that we must urgently throw overboard the European code language of EMU and EPU, of subsidiarity, first and second readings, and must opt for a new language which people under stand and in which they recognize themselves and feel they themselves are recognized.
Hvad vil formandskabet gøre for at forhindre social dumping inden for Maastricht-Traktatens rammer?
I think that only then can we say that there is music in Europe, and that is what I wish you, Mr President-in-Office.
Det danske formandskab fik sat arbejdsløsheden på dagsordenen, og jeg spørger: Følger Belgien op, og kommer der nye idéer på bordet?
I would like the Community, at the same time, to move towards a common policy for an economic and political approach, which would create a new vision for all the Balkan peoples.
Modsat det, modstanderne af den europæiske konstruktion siger, giver Europa i dag mere et billede af afmagt og konservatisme end billedet af en supermagt.
CHRISTIANSEN (NI). - (DA) - Madam President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, colleagues, no mean tasks lie ahead of the Belgian presidency.
Stillet over for nye inteme og eksterne udfordringer ville det bedste, det belgiske formandskab kunne give os frem til den 31. december, uden tvivl være genopretningen af håbet og tilliden til dette projekt gennem dets demokratisering og samarbejde med Europa-Parlamentet med henblik på at imødegå problemerne.
The most important among them are the ratifications of the Maastricht Treaty, this signalling the kick-off for work on giving the Treaty the right content.
Det danske formandskab lagde også en ny linje for åbenhed omkring beslutningerne i EF.
Declarations of intent are too thick on the ground here.
Derfor forstår man prioriteringen af Fællesskabets interne problemer.
HERMANS (PPE). - (NL) Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, there are great challenges facing the Belgian Presidency.
LUCAS PIRES finder nøglen til dette Fællesskabs øjeblikkelige problemer. mer.
CHRISTIANSEN in mind that the Maastricht Treaty has been brought before the Constitutional Court in Germany.
Men vi må ikke glemme de voksende økonomiske og sociale problemer.
that we may really achieve a more open debate on all these matters of justice and internal affairs...
Først må problemerne omkring valutastabilitet og virkeliggørelsen af Det Europæiske Monetære Institut løses, og dernæst må man genoprette tilliden og håbet; det er den nye udviklingsmodel, som hr. Delors bebudede under sidste mødeperiode.
LUCAS PIRES (PPE). - (PT) Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I should also like to congratulate the President of the Council on the Belgian presidency's proposals which he announced here and which reveal a positive political determination to face up to the problems. lems.
Hvis vi skal have befolkningens tillid, skal dette ændres.
Ahead of us also lies the task of getting a GATT agreement in the bag, as Mr Claes said in his speech.
De skal se, hvorledes love ne endelig afgøres, og hvem der stemte hvordan.
What can the presidency actually do in real terms, and what does it intend to do?
Det kan ikke være rigtigt, og det kan ikke skabe tillid til vort Fællesskab.
I do not think we have heard enough about that, only that it is important that the agreement be tied up.
Det værste, der kunne ske, var efter min mening at lade den økonomiske og sociale krise blive værre og værre, for derefter at falde for den farlige fristelse det ville være at løse 90'ernes krise med 30'ernes løsninger.
Although it is true that wilfulness is not a suitable attitude in such a complex framework as Community decision making, worse still would be a purely functionalist, mechanistic attentiveness in the face of the ever-worsening economic and social situation.
Jeg ønsker det belgiske formandskab held og lykke.
Pressure must be put on the British Government to bring the country in under the social dimension.
Hr. formand, jeg vil blot minde Dem om, at for 15 måneder siden henviste Parlamentet til det demokratiske underskud og sagde, at det ville nedlægge veto mod enhver udvidelse.
We are all aware that a change of speed and perhaps direction even is necessary, that we are at a moment of truth, a time of change, and the President of the Council of the Belgian presidency has given us here, although with a sense of realism, a measure of this same determination to go a bit further than we have done so far.
Jeg håber, De har det i erindring.
Then too there is Europe's growing unemployment.
Vi vil nedlægge veto mod enhver udvidelse - ingen nye med lemslande - før det demokratiske underskud er fjernet. Befolkningen kræver dette: et åbent Råd og rigtig, åben lovgivning.
The Danish presidency got unemployment onto the agenda, and I ask this: Will Belgium follow suit, and will there be fresh ideas on the table?
THYSSEN (PPE). - (NL) Fru formand, rådsformanden lod en relativering af sin egen magtposition gå forud for sin programoversigt.
In fact, contrary to what the opponents of European constmction allege, the latter now gives much more of an impression of impotence and stagnation than of being a superpower project.
Naturligvis har formandskabet ikke alt i sin magt, men det har dog under de nuværende omstændigheder til opgave atter at sætte gang i en dynamik i Europa, og når jeg hører formandskabet tale om den retning, som den europæiske integration skal have, og om de konkrete skridt, som det i den anledning selv vil tage, så mærker jeg, at der findes en stærk vilje til atter at få det europæiske tog tilbage på sporet, og jeg ønsker rådsformanden held og lykke hermed.
And in the face of new internal and external challenges, the best thing that the Belgian presidency could leave us by 31 December would undoubtedly be the restoration of confidence and hope in this project through, in particular, making it more democratic and the cooperation which the European Parliament can give to this decision to face up to the problems.
GUIDOLIN (PPE). - (IT) Fru formand, det belgiske formandskab berørte konkrete punkter og lagde med rette stor vægt på den sociale politik og Maastricht-Traktaten, som er de største øjeblikkelige problemer.
Perhaps that is why it is also understandable that priority was given, implicitly in my opinion, to the Community's internal problems.
Hvidbogen om strategien for vækst og beskæftigelse er udmærket; men den sociale side af Europa har også brug for et stærkt signal med øjeblikkelig virkning for at få tiltroen til at blusse op.
It is precisely in the restoration of its authority, its internal balance and its internal democracy that perhaps the main key will be found to the Community's immediate problems.
Der er meget, der skal gøres. Udfordringerne på det socioøkonomiske område er hovedtemaer.
The Danish presidency also laid down a new line on openness in EC decisionmaking.
Rådsformanden har lovet at inddrage arbejdsmarkedets parter heri, og også i den sociale protokol er der fastlagt en påbegyndelse af en social dialog.
I should like to ask the Belgian presidency whether it acknowledges that the very lengthy dispute we had on the Maastricht Treaty in Denmark, and the disturbances caused by the same issue in other Member States, were not due in large part to a lack of information and not least, to the impression of a closed power circuit.
En social dialog, der ikke kun er af rådgivende karakter, men som kan føre til europæiske overenskomstaftaler med lovkraft. Arbejdsmarkedets parter ordner naturligvis hellere mange ting selv end at få dem pålagt udefra.
We can see there being new discussions and perhaps new referendums in a very few years' time, and if the EC fails to open up on information and access at a much higher level, the European working relationship is very likely fated to go the same way as the Roman Empire.
Parlamentsmedlemmer har det vel undertiden svært med, at parterne til tider har større indflydelse end dem selv.
There is a gulf between the politicians and the people which at the end of the day may prove the downfall of democracy.
Personligt finder jeg således, at en social dialog er en faktor i et socialøkonomisk demokrati, og det har jeg ingen problemer med. Der er dog visse betingelser, og en heraf truer med ikke at blive opfyldt, nemlig vedrørende repræsentativiteten.
So I ask Mr Claes: Will Belgium follow the Danish example, being open and receptive towards people's insistent demands to be properly informed?
Hvis der ikke gribes ind, vil der fra arbejdsgiverside ikke blive plads til de små og mellemstore virksomheder.
But we must also not forget the increasingly acute economic and social problems.
De små arbejdsgivere, der sørger for mere end halvdelen af beskæftigelsen i Europa, og mod hvem alt håb er rettet, risikerer intet mindre end at blive udelukket. Fru for mand, uden repræsentativitet er der ingen legitimitet, og uden legitimitet er en sådan social dialog uacceptabel.
Firstly, through solving the question of monetary stability and the institutionalization of the European Monetary Institute and then through launching that essential element of hope - the new development model which President Delors announced here in the last partsession.
Et andet meget aktuelt problem er Maastricht.
Good luck to the Belgian presidency.
CLAES, formand for Rådet. - (FR) Fra formand, hr. Lorån Lopez, hr. Mitolo og hr. Lucas Pires vendte tilbage til de økonomiske udfordringer.
VAN OUTRIVE (PSE). - (NL) Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Mr President-in-Office, I am speaking here not as a Flemish or a Belgian Member of this Parliament but as the representative of my Committee on Civil Liberties and Internal Affairs.
Jeg tillader mig at understrege, at jeg desværre ikke kender nogen, der for øjeblikket råder over mirakelløsninger.
I think that not only this Parliament but also the Presidency attaches much greater importance to this matter, the matters which in the near future will be the concerns of the third pillar, than I am allowed speaking time here.
Når dette er sagt, så tror jeg dog fuldt og fast på, at vi har valgt den rigtige retning ved at basere os på de afgørelser, der blev truffet i Edinburgh, og som blev styrket i København.
I think I can draw that conclusion not so much from your observations, although you referred to them incidentally, and in your first speech as well, but I think I can conclude from the document you announced, that as regards these matters of the third pillar too you will pay more attention to dialogue with Parliament, with the national parliaments but also with this Parliament, which has been able to conduct itself responsibly in numerous reports and resolutions and has made very constmctive proposals with regard to immigration and asylum.
Endvidere har de sidste møder i Finansministerrådet vist, at der findes en vilje til at skabe de økonomiske og budgetmæs-
I would ask that in this field too you should not be satisfied with just words, that there should be more cooperation with Parliament, but that things should be transposed also into political will to keep us better informed, to send us in time the necessary documents and
CLAES sige betingelser for at fortsætte rentenedsættelsespolitikken.
THYSSEN to regain any faith, it needs some strong signals that have immediate effect.
De kender de problemer, som vi står overfor, men vi forbliver af den mening, at Regionsudvalget ikke kan starte på anstændig vis, hvis det kun kan benytte sig af det sekretariat, som i dag står til rådighed for Det Økonomi ske og Sociale Udvalg.
This is not a Marxist recipe, as someone wrongly said: the high level of industrialization of our countries, the urgent need to strengthen human resources in the sectors of research, science and technology and the need constantly to improve the quality of life of the people, by increasing their leisure time too, require a reorganization and a reduction of working hours.
(FR) Hr. Boissiere stillede spørgsmål vedrørende valgret og valgbarhed samt valgmetoden.
There will on the employers' side be no place for the SMUs because they are not included.
Alt hvad jeg kan sige for øjeblikket, er, at problemet med valgret og valgbarhed allerede stod på Rådets dagsorden den 19. juli, at vi er klar over, at problemet haster, men at en afgørelse kræver enstemmighed i Rådet.
The small employers who provide more than half the job opportunities in Europe and on whom all hope rests are threatened with nothing less than exclusion.
(FR) Jeg vil gerne sige til hr. Desama, at vi heller ikke i denne forbindelse undervurderer betydningen af det fjerde rammeprogram for forskning og udvikling.
Mr President-in-Office, without representation there is no legitimacy and without legitimacy such a social dialogue is unacceptable.
Jeg ind rømmer, at jeg ikke har et præcist billede af budgetministrenes arbejde med dette fjerde program.
It remains the duty of the authorities to see to representation and legitimacy, even in the best pattern of social consultation.
Men jeg vil i hvert fald drage omsorg for, at dette program - stadig inden for de budgetmæssige muligheder - opretholdes.
So I ask, Mr President-in-Office, for this leaning tower to be set straight so that a fairlybalanced dialogue may begin.
(NL) Til fru Hermans siger jeg ligeledes, at undervisning og uddannelse bestemt har en meget stor rolle at spolle som led i reformen af arbejdsmarkedet.
I much appreciated the commit ment shown by the Belgian Presidency on this point; it is a great challenge and I hope the Belgian Presidency will be able to tackle it successfully.
(NL) Hr. De Gucht og hr. Newton Dunn rejste atter problemet med offentlighed i Rådet.
NEWTON DUNN (PPE). - Madam President, President-in-Office, I want to talk to you about openness in the Council.
Jeg tror ikke, at den offentlige mening er særlig interesseret i, hvad jeg vil kalde dårligt fjernsyn.
In your fine opening remarks you talked about the need for confidence in the institutions. Quite right.
Jeg mener dog, at afstemningerne og stemmeforklaringerne bør være offentlige.
In your summary to the group leaders, you said: We need a clear democratic basis.
Det er i øvrigt i den retning, at vi har forelagt forslag.
I agree. So where is the openness in the Council?
Med hensyn til alt dette siger jeg til hr. Van der Waal, at det belgiske formandskab på ingen måde har til hensigt at tilrettelægge et specielt topmøde, der skal begrænse sig til et show.
Having said that, I firmly believe that we have made a move in the right direction in taking as our basis the decisions adopted at Edinburgh and strengthened at Copenhagen.
Vi håber, at det bliver muligt at tilrettelægge et særligt topmøde, hvor ikke mindst starten gives på den anden fase af Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union, og hvorfor ikke, hvor man også kan godkende en ny interinstitutionel aftale.
What is more, the most recent Finance Ministers' meetings have shown that the will does exist to bring about the economic and budgetary conditions for pursuing a policy of lower interest rates.
Jeg vil geme sige til hr. De Gucht, at jeg ikke vil misbruge dette forum til national politik. Når han siger, at Belgien må vise et eksempel i Jugoslavien og øge sin militære indsats, så vil jeg geme sige to ting.
If we are going to have public confidence this must be changed.
Hvis De ønsker en større indsats, og det er min næste indvending, så skal De vel ændre Deres program, hvori De lover den offentlige mening, at forsvarsbudgettet i Belgien yderligere kan nedbringes med 10 mia. Disse to ting er ikke forenelige.
There is nowhere else in the free world that I know of - and I would be interested if you can suggest anywhere - that passes laws in total secrecy. It cannot be right and it cannot create confidence in our Community.
(FR) Jeg kan forsikre fru Fontaine om, at vi er af samme opfattelse som hende, hvad angår subsidiariteten, dvs. at subsidiariteten skal tage hensyn til den interinstitutionel le ligevægt, og at man må se det i de to retninger.
At the stmctural level, apart from the need to reach a global agreement this year on the Uruguay Round, I stress the importance of the white paper which is to be prepared by the Commission and is to contain, I say in answer to Mr Guidolin's speech, proposals for the reform of the labour market in which, without doubt, account will be taken of the work already done by Parliament.
Et problem kan måske behandles på en bedre måde på nationalt, regionalt eller lokalt niveau, men hvis det derimod kan behandles med større effektivitet på europæisk niveau, formodes de tolv medlemsstater at acceptere konsekvenserne.
On this subject I should also like to say to Mrs Thyssen that the Belgian programme very clearly refers in some four different respects to the specific role and possibilities of the SMUs and that better representation for them is also advocated.
Jeg har konstateret, at der i ganske mange indlæg, bl.a. af hr. Sälzer og hr. De Clercq, lægges stor vægt på den institutionelle problematik.
Mr President-in-Office, ljust want to remind you that 15 months ago this Parliament referred to the democratic deficit and said it would veto any enlargement.
I øvrigt ikke med urette.
I hope you have that on board.
Jeg sagde allerede i mit første indlæg, at der klart er en forbindelse mellem udvidelse og institutionel problematik.
We shall veto any enlargement - no new Member States - until the democratic deficit is eliminated.
Man må altså uundgåeligt behandle visse aspekter institutionelt, inden man tager en afgørelse om udvidelsen.
So my question to you is this: What are you going to do about it in the next six months?
Naturligvis ved jeg, at dette ikke er det forventede svar på de spørgsmål, der er stillet.
Openness in the Council please!
Når man går ind for en særlig regeringskonference på området, vover jeg dog at sige, at man må vælge det rette psykologiske tidspunkt.
I would say to Mr Desama that in this context too we are not underestimating the importance of the fourth outline programme on research and development.
Det tjener ikke noget formål at indkalde til en særlig rege ringskonference, hvis man ikke på forhånd har en vis garanti for succes.
I confess I have no very clear picture of the budget ministers' work on this fourth programme.
På det punkt vil jeg gerne sige til hr. De Clercq, at hans forslag om ret hurtigt at oprette en vismandskomité vil blive forelagt for mine kolleger i Rådet.
In any case I shall ensure that this programme is maintained, always within the frame work of the budgetary resources available.
(NL) Jeg lover hr. van Outrive, at jeg over for mine kolleger, der ansvarlig for retsvæsen og indre anliggender, vil presse på, for at der, hvad angår den tredje søjle, vil blive mulighed for mere information til og navnlig for debat med Parlamentet.
GUIDOLIN (PPE). - (IT) Madam President, the Belgian Presidency has discussed practical points and rightly placed great emphasis on social policy and the Maastricht Treaty, two very topical questions.
Over for hr. Vandemeulebroucke vil jeg geme bekræfte, at vi rent faktisk vil arbejde med socialpagten, og at der allerede nu træffes de nødvendige foranstaltninger, således at Regionsudvalget, i øvrigt som fastsat i Maastricht-Trakteten, vil kunne starte i det øjeblik, hvor Traktaten også træder i kraft.
The economic and social malaise in the Community is worsening and we must combat it by measures that give quick results.
(FR) Hr. Papoutsis og hr. Alavanos fremførte Chypernspørgsmålet.
I would also say to Mrs Hermans that in the framework of the reform of the labour market education and training have certainly a very important part to play.
Jeg beder om deres forståelse, for så vidt angår mit svar. Vi modtog Kommissionens udtalelse for kun to uger siden.
As far as all this is concerned I can say to Mr Van der Waal that it is certainly not the intention of the Belgian Presidency to organize a special summit to be restricted to the show element.
Dette punkt står på Rådets dagsorden den 19. juli, men bed mig ikke om at prognosticere Rådets holdning.
We hope it will be possible to organize a special summit at which a start will primarily be made with the second phase of economic and monetary union, and why should it not be possible there to give approval also to a new interinstitutional agreement?
Jeg kan ikke garantere Dem, at Rådet er rede til at træffe en definitiv afgørelse om den af Kommissionen forelagte udtalelse.
I should like to tell Mr De Gucht that I do not intend to make any misuse of this platform for national politics.
Alt, hvad jeg kan sige, er, at vi er fast besluttet på at fremme denne sag med al den nødvendige hast.
When he states that Belgium must set an example in Yugoslavia and must increase its military efforts I should like to say two things.
FORMANDEN. - I henhold til forretningsordenens artikel 74 stk. 2, påhviler det formanden at forelægge forslaget for Parlamentet, der til hver en tid suverænt kan ændre dagsordenen, og som derfor også kan ændre gårsdagens beslutning.
First, I am convinced, and as a Belgian I am proud to say it, that today Belgium is more than doing its duty in the international community with some 1 000 troops in the former Yugoslavia and some 900 in Somalia and that in addition the Belgian expenditure in the framework of humanitarian programmes may be seen at all times.
Er der en taler for og en imod?
These two options are not compatible.
SCHWARTZENBERG (PSE). - (FR) Når jeg på PSE-Gruppens vegne og hr. Anastassopoulus for PPE-Grup-pen i aftes fremsatte denne anmodning, var det, fordi vi ønskede, at Kommissionens svar kom fra GATT-forhandleren, dvs. Sir Leon Brittan.
I have noticed that in a number of speeches, by Mr Sälzer and Mr De Clercq amongst others, great importance was, quite rightly, attached to institutional problems.
Hans arbejde gør imidlertid, at han idag kl. 16 ikke længere er i Strasbourg.
I have already said in my first answer that there is clearly a link between enlargement and institutional problems.
Derfor tillod vi os på et tidspunkt, hvor der kun var sytten medlemmer til stede, at anmode om at få redegørelsen sat sidst på formiddagens dagsorden.
You cannot decide on enlargement by even one Member State unless certain problems connected with representation in Parliament, with the operation of the Commission, with the operation of the Council and the right to vote in the Council, are solved first.
