Striby (I-EDN). - (FR) Fru formand, betænkningerne af vores kolleger Evans og Wibe lægger op til, at retten til at indgive andragender i henhold til artikel 156 i vores for retningsorden udvides yderligere.
Novo Belenguer (ARE). - (ES) Madam President, 1 would like to begin by congratulating the three rapporteurs, although in my speech I am going to concentrate on the report by Mr Evans due to its great importance and in-

fælde, hvor der er tale om overtrædelser. Vi vil gerne understrege, at disse medlemsstater skal svare rettidigt og korrekt på Europa-Kommissionens anmodninger om in formation og handling, og at de skal overholde forpligtelsen til at lette Fællesskabets gennemførelse af dets opgaver, sådan som det stadfæstes i artikel 5 i traktaten.
For his part, Mr Wibe suggests that the procedure for presenting petitions be simplified using electronic means, but he specifies that it would be necessary to send petitioners a letter inviting them to confirm the proposal sent by email, as soon as the petition is received via the web.
Alt dette er dog desværre ikke tilfældet i dag.
So where is the simplification that we are promised?
Men som hr. Perry forbeholder jeg min kritik til Rådet.
The chairman, Mr Fontana, notes in his report an increase in the number and frequency of petitions, with the corollary of increasing delays and difficulties in processing them.
Det samarbejder meget sjældent med os, og nøglen til en løsning af virkelig mange af borgemes klager ligger i samarbejde. Desværre ser vi ikke nok af det fra Rådets side.
Under these circumstances, where will be the efficiency and credibility of the Committee on Petitions, if we multiply the number of petitions to Parliament as suggested by the different reports which we are discussing this morning?
Formanden Fontana - som jeg gerne vil takke for hans glimrende arbejde som formand for Parlamentets Udvalg for Andragender - henleder i øvrigt med rette vores op mærksomhed på Europa-Parlamentets reelle beføjelser.
To conclude, Madam President, we shall vote against these reports, not because they are bad, but because they do not solve the problems which are raised, since having noted that the Committee on Petitions is becoming clogged up, the rapporteurs propose yet more bureaucracy as a solution.
Formanden. - Indtil nu har ingen af talerne under denne debat overholdt taletiden.
By doing this, we are merely strengthening and develop ing the feeling of European citizenship in all the peoples of the Union.
Hvis vi fortsætter på den måde, vil afstemningen ved middagstid i dag igen blive forsinket en halv time. Jeg ville bare nævne det en gang for alle og anmode om, at der lige holdes øje med uret.
What we are trying to achieve is a situation whereby, if the case arises, a citizen, for example, from the Autonomous Community of Valencia, has the opportunity to contact the European Parliament both in Spanish and in Valencian, the latter being an officially recognized language in our Statute of autonomy.
Donnelly, Brendan (PPE). - (EN) Fru formand, jeg taler på vegne af Det Europæiske Folkepartis gruppe dm Evans- og Wibe-betænkningerne.
Amadeo (NI). - (¡T) Madam President, one of the most important results of the Maastricht Treaty has certainly been the institution of European citizenship which has made every citizen of a Member State a citizen of the Un ion and has implicitly led to greater protection of citizens' rights in the context of European construction.
Smith (PSE). - (EN) Fru formand, at være aktivt medlem af Udvalget for Andragender er meget belærende.
This is a good opportunity to give meaning to the great effort that the European Union itself, through the Commission, has been making for several years to promote and develop the minority languages of the Union.
Udvalget for Andragender udgør en bestandig kilde til information, viden - og også undertiden en smule forbløffelse -når vi undersøger de forskellige indviklede beskaffenheder i forbindelse med lovgivningen, der har udløst borger nes klager.
This is, in particular, due to the ARIANE programme which re ceived funding of ECU 3 700 000 in 1997, and thanks, too, to the work carried out by the European Bureau for Lesser-Used Languages.
Hvad Evans-betænkningen angår, taler jeg også på vegne af PPE-gruppen: Jeg vil geme påpege, at ændringsforslag 3 er blevet trukket tilbage.
Together with the figure of the Ombudsman, instituted by the Treaty, the right of petition, also sanctioned by the Treaty, is part of the logic to make up the democratic deficit that is still penalizing the Community's citizens.
Det er ikke et ændringsforslag, der er fremsat af PPE-gruppen. Et identisk ændringsforslag er blevet fremsat af fru Ferrer og 28 andre, og det vil der blive stemt om.
In fact, the right of petition is essential not only for citizens but also for the Union's institutions, in that petitions enable the institutions to become aware of citizens' real ex pectations.
Vi finder, at det er et meget brugbart og nyttigt kompromis mellem to mål, hvoraf det ene er at respektere de gældende traktater og forordninger, og det andet er at aner kende retten og ønskeligheden for folk i så vidt muligt at kunne indgive deres andragender til Europa-Parlamentet på deres eget modersmål.
I will conclude, Madam President, with the hope that this House approves a report whose amendments aim to widen and consolidate the spirit of integration of the peoples and their cultures.
Men det er her - i direkte kontakt med Den Europæiske Unions borgere - at vi finder bristerne og begrænsningerne i EU-lovgivningen.
Striby (I-EDN). - (FR) Madam President, the purpose of the reports by my colleagues, Mr Evans and Mr Wibe, is to extend further the right of petition provided for in Article 156 of our Rules of Procedure.
F.eks finder vi på miljøområdet, at vurderinger af miljøpåvirkningen ikke finder an vendelse på projekter, der var planlagt, inden lovgivningen blev implementeret.
But, in these same texts, we find provisions which, anticipating difficulties that might arise from such reforms, turn them into a model of the status quo.
Hvad angår adgangen til sociale ydelser, så er regeringerne i hemmelig forståelse med hinanden om at nægte borgerne deres rettigheder.
Finally, great importance must be attached to the admissibility of these petitions.
Indvandrergrupper vil også nyde godt af den.
All this, however, is unfortunately not the case today.
Alle disse ting fungerer tilsammen som en hindring af den frie bevægelighed for borgere, og Udvalget for Andragender har gentagne gange henledt opmærksomheden på dette.
At a time when the European Commission's translation services are seeking a hierarchy for documents so that, with the coming of enlargement which will bring the number of official languages up to sixteen, it will be possible to decide which texts require full translation, Mr Evans proposes a reform of the Rules of Procedure so that everyone can present petitions in a language other than the eleven official languages of the Union.
Jeg vil geme rose Kommissionen og takke den for dens samarbejde under min tid i udvalget.
This is a fine idea for those who speak one of the minority languages.
Men rosen er betinget.
But how much time will be saved if the petitioner must at tach a translation, or a summary, in an official language of the European Union?

everyone, with a plea that we might perhaps keep an eye on the clock.
En stor del af andragenderne vedrører det sociale område og her navnlig vandrende arbejdstagere.
The Wibe report is one small step for man, one giant leap for the European Parliament.
Koordineringsdirektivet 1408 er ganske vist positivt, men hjælper ofte ikke med til at fjerne uretfærdigheder.
We know that Mr Wibe, coming as he does from a Scandinavian background, is particularly inter ested in information technology.
Her opfordres især Rådet til at vise mere indsigt, for at den fri bevægelighed ikke forårsager ulemper.
This is a new insight, a new aspect of our work which has been particularly emphasized and underlined by his work and that of his Scandinavian colleagues.
Jeg henviser til fru Weilers be tænkning, som vi skal stemme om i eftermiddag.
We welcome it and it is right that he should be gently leading us into the 21st century in this re spect.
Ephremidis (GUE/NGL). - (EL) Fru formand, den mest ægte og direkte, levende kontakt, Europa-Parlamentet har med den europæiske borger, både på personligt og på kol· lektivt plan, foregår via denne institution, proceduren i Udvalget om Andragender.
A final observation concerning the time of reply, which is too long: I do not know how, but we are going to have to study how to be quicker and more punctual.
Dette understreges også af de tre betænkninger, og jeg er helt enig.
As far as the Evans report is concerned, I am also speak ing on behalf of the PPE Group.
Det understreges særligt i betænkningen af hr. Fontana, som jeg også er enig i.
I should like to point out that Amendment No 3 has been withdrawn.
Fik andrageren i disse tilfælde ret i sidste ende eller ikke?
Smith (PSE). - Madam President, being an active member of the Committee on Petitions is very much an education.
Skal vi måske have en højtidelig forhandling, en tidsrøvende procedure uden resuïtat.
The other is to recognize the right and desirability of people to be able to address their petitions to the European Parliament as far as possible in their mother tongue.
Ferrer (PPE). - (ES) Fru formand, Den Europæiske Union, som opfatter sig selv og handler som et fælles skab, der bygger på overholdelsen af menneskerettighederne, og som altid har forsvaret og påtaget sig at fremme den kulturelle mangfoldighed i Europa, kan ikke ignorere en befolknings ret til at få anerkendt og respekteret tegnene på dens identitet.
But it is here, in direct contact with the citizens of the Eu ropean Union, that we find the flaws and limitations of European Union legislation.
Derfor har Parlamentet i dets egen skab af repræsentant for de befolkninger, der udgør Den Europæiske Union, gentagne gange udtrykt sig til fordel for foranstaltninger, som bidrager til at bevare denne identitet, der har sproget som et af sine tydeligste kende tegn. Tænk blot på Reding-betænkningen om det catalanske sprogs situation eller Killilea-betænkningen om mindretalssprogene.
For example, on the environ ment, we find that environmental impact assessments do not apply to projects which were planned before the legislation was implemented.
Derfor vil jeg gerne tilføje, for det første, at betænkningen bør nævne, om disse andragender blev imødekommet ef ter behandlingen; for det andet, hvorfor og hvem der er ansvarlig herfor.
All these things taken together act as an impediment to the free movement of citizens and the Committee on Petitions has continually drawn attention to this.
Jeg vil desuden foreslå, at udvalget og dets arbejde bør styrkes institutionelt og retligt, så der kan anvendes en form for sanktion, hvis en berettiget anmodning ikke imødekommes.
It would be a pity if the European Parliament got itself too deeply involved in questions of linguistic arrangements that are more properly decided at national level.
Kuhn (PSE). - (DE) Fru formand, jeg kunne'lige så godt næsten ordret gentage mine indlæg fra de forløbne år.
I would like to praise the Commission and thank it for its cooperation during my time in the committee.
Ikke kun brochurer, men også udnyttelse af nye medier kunne bidrage til at gøre borgerne opmærksom på deres demokratiske rettigheder. heder.
Matters coming before the Committee on Petitions could have been taken a bit fürther by the Commission before going on to the committee.
Bearbejdelsen af andragender, indtil det endelige svar foreligger, varer for længe, hvilket andragerne tager os fortrydeligt op.
Ephremidis (GUE/NGL). - (EL) Madam President, the most genuine, direct, live contact that the European Par liament has with the citizens of Europe, individually and collectively, is the procedure within the Committee on Petitions.
Udvalget for Andragender har optimeret sin arbejdsmetode.
This was highlighted by the three reports and I agree with them.
Samarbejdet med tjenestemændene i Kommissionen er efter min mening blevet betydeligt for bedret.
It was especially highlighted in the re port by Mr Fontana, with which I also agree.
Problemet ligger - også det er allerede blevet nævnt her - i de fleste tilfælde hos Rådet, det vil sige hos den medlemsstat, der skal spørges i hver enkelt sag.
I would just like to comment that, while it renders some kind of account and mentions a number of petitions that have been dealt with, it does not tell us of the outcome.
Man skal virkelig være tålmodig for at få et svar.
In these cases did the citizen, the petitioner, get justice in the end or not?
For mig personlig er det en glæde, at antallet af an dragender, som klager over, at den europæiske miljøret ikke omsættes eller ikke anvendes, er faldet betydeligt i
Perhaps there is then a celebratory debate, a time-consuming procedure with no outcome.
Palacio Vallelersundi (PPE). - (ES) Fru formand, de historiske mindretals fælles rettigheder og den kulturelle mangfoldighed ér goder, som vi alle er nødt til at beskytte, og de europæiske institutioner har aldrig sparet på kræfterne, hvad dette angår.
President - So far in this debate none of the speakers has kept to the allocated speaking times.
Men retten til at indgive andragender er ikke en ret for befolkningen som helhed.
If we continue like this, we will be half an hour late starting the"voting this afternoon.
Palacio Vallelersundi kalde kernen i tillidsforholdet mellem borgerne og institutionerne, som bør sørge for, at Unionen fungerer ordentligt. dentligt.
In this respect, we should recall the Reding report on the situation of the Catalan language or the Killilea report on minority languages. guages.
taten ikke alene sikrer borgerne i Unionen, men derimod enhver person, ethvert menneske, der opholder sig i Den Europæiske Union.
In addition to leaflets, the use of new media could be used to inform the citizens of Europe of their democratic rights.
Derfor er der ikke noget, der er mere i modstrid med denne ånd, end at sondre mellem dem, som har et mindretalssprog, der er anerkendt på grund af territoriale forhold, og dem, som normalt er de mest trængende, hvis sprog, som også bruges af et mindretal, alligevel ikke har opnået officiel anerkendelse.
Therefore, I call on this House to vote in favour of the amendment that various groups and Members have tabled to the Evans report, asking that the petitions drafted in the official language of a part of the territory of a Member State might also be admitted for consideration.
Derfor er jeg glad forfat samarbejdet mellem Parlamentet og Kommissionen har gjort det muligt, at man som nævnt i Fontana-betænkningen også i år kan opnå konkrete løs ninger og forbedringer i et stort antal sager.
Therefore, nothing is more contrary to that spirit than the discrimination between those who have a minor ity language which is recognized in a territorial context and those other citizens, who are normally the most, needy, whose language is also a minority language but is not officially recognized.
Fru formand, ændringsforslaget af fru Ferrer stemmer ikke overens med traktaterne og er ydermere en alvorlig trussel mod en væsentlig bestanddel af Den Europæiske Union: den virkelige beskyttelse af menneskerettighederne.
Madam President, the amendment by Mrs Ferrer is not in line with the Treaties and, in addition, represents a serious attack on an essential element of the European Union: the true protection of human rights.
Den, der har mest behov for muligheden for at ind give et andragende på sit eget sprog, er ikke den europæiske borger, som tilhører en historisk minoritet, hvis sprog er anerkendt.
The person most in need of the opportunity to forward a petition in his own language is not the European citizen belonging to a historic minority whose language is already recognized.
Jeg bør også fortælle, at Kommissionen, som gør alt, hvad den kan, for at nærme Europa til borgerne, deler den hold ning om overtrædelsesprocedurerne Udvalget om Andragender vedtog, og påskønner Parlamentets værdifulde indsats på området.
Ferrer (PPE). - (ES) Madam President, the European Union, which is defined as and acts as a Community based on respect for human rights, and which has always defended and undertaken to promote the cultural diversity of Europe, cannot ignore the right of a people to have the symbols of their identity recognized and respected.
Lad os derfor være seriøse.
We must, therefore, be serious.
Hvis vi anerkender denne mu lighed, så lad os anerkende den uden nogen begrænsninger.
If we recognize this op portunity, we must recognize it without any limitations.
Og det forekommer mig derfor, at hr. Evans' æn dringsforslag er en fornuftig løsning på dette meget kom plicerede problem.
And it thus seems to me that the amendment by Mr Evans represents a logical solution to this extremely complicated problem.
Netop fordi vi bestræber os på at behandle de andragender, som bliver sendt til os, på en hurtig og fyldestgørende måde, vil jeg kun ganske kort kommentere Evans-betænkningen.
It is precisely because of that concern of looking rapidly and in detail at the petitions that have been submitted to. us, that I will only speak briefly about the Evans report.
Det er sikkert, at spørgsmålet om de sprog, der anvendes i andragenderne, hovedsageligt er et problem, der hører under Parlamentets ansvar.
It is true that the issue of the languages in which petitions are drawn up is essentially a problem which is Parliament's responsibility.
Men det er også sikkert, at man med et samarbejde mellem Udvalget for Andragender og Kommissionens tjenestegrene, som jeg ville vove at kalde kreativt, ville kunne behandle et stort antal andragender. Dette er ganske enkelt, hvad jeg ville fortælle Dem.
However, it is also true that, through cooperation - which I would even go so far as to call creative - between the Committee on Petitions and the Commission's services, the consideration of a large number of petitions could be resolved.
Jeg lykønsker endnu en gang ordføreren og medlemmerne af Udvalget for Andragender for de res fremragende arbejde.
I would congratulate once again the rapporteur and all of the members of the Committee on Petitions on the excellent work they have done.
Jeg var beæret over at påtage mig denne rolle på opfordring af Udvalget for Andragender.
I was honoured to take on this role at the request of the Committee on Petitions.
Så snart vi modtager meddelelse om nogen andragender, der omhandler bort førelse af et barn, som regel af en af forældrene, ringer vi til parterne, således at de straks er klar over, at der er no gen- i Parlamentet, der er direkte involveret i deres sag.
As soon as we receive notice of any petition relating to the abduction of a child, generally a parental abduction, we telephone the parties concerned so that immediately they are aware that somebody in Parliament is directly re sponding to their concerns.
Forhandlingen under ét er afsluttet.
President. - Thank you, Commissioner. The debate is closed.
Dette kommer rundt om de vanskeligheder, som mange talere har nævnt i relation til forsinkelser med andragender, selvom jeg må erkende, at situationen har forbedret sig betragteligt, siden udvalget for nylig blev omstruktureret. reret.
This gets round the difficulties that many speakers have referred to in relation to delays with petitions, although I acknowledge that the situation has considerably im proved since the committee was recently reorganized.

Jeg mener, at hurtig sagsbehandling er af afgørende be tydning, når man behandler mange af andragenderne og navnlig de andragender, der har med bortførelse af børn at gøre.
Oreja Aguirre, Member of the Commission. - (ES) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to say that I agree with the excellent Fontana report in terms of its comments on the importance of the right of petition.
Vi kontakter de berørte forældre, de involverede dommere og de nationale myndigheder direkte.
Petitions allow the institutions to become aware of the true difficulties and problems encountered by the citizens.
Vi er imidlertid stadig meget ugunstigt stillet, fordi mange EU-lande synes at have en vedholdende rekord i manglende gennemførelse af Haag-konventionen.
The right of petition is, therefore, situated at what we could call the heart of the relationship of trust between the citizen and the institutions which must take responsibility for the smooth running of the Union.

Europa-Parlamentets forhandlinger
By sending a petition to Parliament, the citizen is not only denouncing what seems to be an unsatisfactory application of Community legislation, but is also demonstrating, at the same time, its trust in Parliament and in all of the institutions, with the hope that the error might be rectified. fied.
Nr. 4-523/259 nogle tilfælde har den endog held til at overbevise, klagerne om, at den har handlet korrekt.
I, therefore, welcome the fact that the collaboration be tween Parliament and the Commission has allowed us this year, too, - as rightly pointed out in the Fontana report -to find specific solutions and improvements in a large number of cases.
Vi har sat som mål at træffe beslutning om, hvorvidt en klage er antagelig inden for en måned og afslutte en sag, hvor der er igangsat en undersøgelse inden for et år. Vi har næsten opfyldt det første mål, idet meget få sager løber over mere end en måned.
I must also tell you that the Commission, which is doing everything possible to bring Europe closer to the citizens, shares the position adopted by the Committee on Petitions on infringement procedures and appreciates the impor tance of the action that Parliament is taking in this area.
Söderman, Den Europæiske Ombudsmand. - (EN) Hr formand, det er nu blevet etableret praksis, at Europa-Parlamentet følger de bedste traditioner i medlemssta terne og inviterer ombudsmanden til personligt at aflægge sin årsberetning.
