I henhold til de seneste tal fra det irske politi står 76 % af al kriminalitet i Irland i forbindelse med narkotika.
Acting as a kind of Euro pean team selector, moreover, he limited participation in stage three to Germany, the Benelux countries, France and possibly, with luck - so he said - Ireland and Austria.
Nederlandene står foran den ikke ringe opgave at skabe overensstemmelse omkring dette meget vanskelige valg.
It is already apparent that the election results have been accepted for the more important towns and cities such as Belgrade and Nis.
Netop den kendsgerning, at Nederlandene er vant til at stræbe efter kompromiser og overensstemmelse, kan gøre det nederlandske formand skab til et historisk formandskab.
You wondered in your speech, Mr President-in-Office, quoting Vaclav Havel, if it was possible to call for a passion for Europe - and this Parliament does of course have that passion.
Dertil passer ikke, og jeg tror, at hr. Salafranca sagde det på en overordentlig høflig måde, hvilket jeg takker ham for, en finansminister, som i formandskabets første uge så uforbeholdent og så udiplomatisk fremlægger sin opfattelse, at det må frygtes, at man derefter skal lede længe efter denne overensstemmelse og tillid.
But it is not by means of remarks such as those in question that a passion for Europe will be conveyed to, or caused to grow among, the peoples of which Europe is composed.
Selv et barn kan tælle sig frem til, hvilke lande finansminister Zalm betragter som hysteriske. Et land som Spanien, som f.eks. netop har fastfrosset sine embedsmandslønninger for at kunne opfylde ØMU-kriterierne, kan meget vanskeligt forsvare dette hjemme, hvis EUformanden samtidig i pressen erklærer, at denne regering handler hysterisk.
The Dutch Finance Minister's remarks, which you half heartedly sought to play down the following day, were insensitive, clumsy and in conflict with the Treaty on European Union.
I forlængelse heraf er mit andet og sidste punkt, at hvis Den Europæiske Union skal betyde noget, hvis den nye EUtraktat skal betyde noget, skal den beskytte dem, der er mest udsatte i vort samfund, nemlig vore børn.
Willockx (PSE). - (NL) Madam President, 1997 is an extremely important year for Europe, as various speakers have rightly pointed out.
Vi har den igangværende sag i Belgien med pædofilnet.
It is also a year in which Europe is being led by small countries.
Vi har de fortsatte hverdagsproblemer, som børn har, ikke kun med hensyn til seksuelle og følelsesmæssige overgreb, men også fattigdom, manglende muligheder og beskyttelse. Med den velvillige indstilling, der findes, skulle der nu være mulighed for en specifik artikel i den nye traktat, som den nederlandske regering - forhåbentlig - vil indføje under sit formandskab for at sikre, at børns rettigheder og frihedsrettigheder optages fuldt ud og sær skilt deri. Hvis vi ikke kan beskytte vor fremtid, som er vore børn, hvilken mening er der så i at beskytte nutiden?
The troika consists of heland, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, small but strong countries which are determined to continue the tradition of sound presidency, heland certainly did some very good work, and the Netherlands now faces the very special, perhaps even the historic task of concluding or preparing to conclude the Intergovernmental Conference.
Theonas (GUE/NGL). - (EL) Fru formand, den forpligtelse, som er sat i værk af tidligere topmøder, senest topmødet i Dublin, nemlig forpligtelsen til at arbejde for fuldendelsen af regeringskonferencen, tredje fase af ØMU og udvidelsen af Den Europæiske Union med de centralog østeuropæiske lande, hviler nu på det nederlandske formandskabs skuldre.
We have confidence in its traditional, efficient and pragmatic approach, but we are also cautious, because we have read newspaper reports and interviews with prominent representatives of the coalition in the Netherlands, such as Mr Bolkestein, who have said things which are the very opposite of what we want to hear about Europe.
De europæiske befolkninger kan heller ikke forvente sig forbedringer af deres leve- og arbejdsvilkår som resultat af det arbejde, der vil blive gjort i det kommende halvår.
I am counting on you, Mr van Mierlo and Mr Patijn, not to follow Mr Bolkestein's lead in your presidency of the Intergovernmental Conference, but to follow the Benelux memorandum instead.
Også valutaen vil stadig kræve megen opmærksomhed fra den nederlandske formand.
I am pleased that you called for greater use of the qualified majority, which is essential if Europe is to remain workable.
Reglerne omkring euroens lovmæssige status, den sidste hånd på stabilitetspagten, et beslutningsforslag om et nyt Europæisk Monetært System, alle disse punkter kræver tillid og enstemmighed.
But I was disappointed that at the very first press conference of the Dutch presidency, it was specifically stressed that unanimity would still be required on matters of fiscal policy.
Medens valutaen skaber stor tilslutning i Unionen, er der fortsat en række bekymringer.
Yet the Dutch presidency sets such great store by the fink between taxation and employ ment, and also by the C0 tax, and we have already
Måske er det nederlandske formand skab overordentligt egnet til at tackle dette problem.
2 established that all the problems we have had with this tax stem from the need for unanimity.
Jeg sigter her til arbejdsmarkedspolitikken og arbejdsløsheden i Unionen.
I should like to address a few words now to Mr Patijn, as president of the Budget Council.
Nederlandene kan lægge vægt på de nødvendige strukturtilpasninger i politikken vedrørende infleksible lønsystemer, tilpasninger af sociale ordninger og større arbejdsmobilitet.
It is said in a Spanish classic which you probably know -'Don Juan Tenorio' - that a modicum of contrition brings salvation.
En kritik af det nederlandske formand skabs program er den manglende eksistens af et turistråd. Efterhånden kan det forudsættes at være almindeligt kendt, at turisme er den største arbejdsgiver i hele Den Europæiske Union.
The President-in-Office now has the opportunity to make a formal statement of the obvious and say that -whatever his Finance Minister may think - the only law governing participation in the single currency is that of the Maastricht Treaty; or to make a somewhat more ambitious statement, and say that the Dutch Government wishes a large number of Member States to join the single currency; or finally, in a fit of passion for Europe, to make the statement we would wish to have and interpret the Maastricht Treaty in such a way as to allow the maximum number of Member States to participate in the single currency.
Medens både Unionen og den nederlandske regering betragter »arbejde, arbejde, arbejde« som vigtigt, er det så meget desto mere uforståeligt, at den nederlandske formand ignorerer turisme, som om den ikke eksisterer.
In a show of generosity, he could also applaud the endeavours of governments such as that of my country, which are making tremendous efforts to form part of the first wave, full of enthusiasm for the latest phase of the process of European integration, which is the third stage of economic and monetary union.
Med hensyn til situationen i Serbien vil jeg først og fremmest fremhæve den forsigtige måde, hvorpå formanden for Rådet berørte dette emne i sin redegørelse.
Mr Patijn, you yourself have witnessed the great uneasiness that now exists between Parliament and the Council.
Crowley (UPE). - (EN) Fru formand, ligesom andre medlemmer vil jeg gerne ønske det nederlandske for mandskab held og lykke i et meget vigtigt år for Den Europæiske Union.
Wiersma (PSE). - (NL) Madam President, I should like to congratulate the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands on his detailed speech concerning his country's presidency.
Det arbejde, som det irske formand skab har udført, har allerede fastsat mange af de mål, vi bør stræbe efter.
There is just one issue I should like to address today, and that is the question of Serbia, or rather the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
Må jeg appellere til Dem om uformelt at forsøge på kort sigt at ændre denne vanskelige situation.
It is not the Commission or Parliament which holds up the legislative process; it is the Council.
Jeg tror, at vi har vore pligter, at vi har vor del af ansvaret for den vanskelige situation, men at denne fortrinsvis skyldes Rådet, som i de seneste år ikke har fungeret ordentligt på dette område.
This is an outstanding matter, therefore, and we are expecting you to do everything possible to resolve it.
ud af den isolering, den befinder sig i - som gøder jorden for alle dem, der smeder rænker mod den serbiske befolknings og Serbiens rettigheder - og kan styrke befolkningens kamp for fred i området, for demokrati og for social velfærd.
You will also be performing a great service if you promote the spirit of the Treaties in the Council, as opposed to certain practices which fundamentally conflict with the provisions of those Treaties.
På denne baggrund står vi uforstående over for planerne om at indføre nye foranstaltninger og restriktioner mod Serbien under påskud af, at oppositionens demokratiske rettigheder skal anerkendes.
I am referring to the fact that, all too often, the Council seeks a consensus, even in cases where the Treaties allow it to decide by qualifiedmajority voting.
Når man har så travlt med at gennemføre nye foranstaltninger, som i sidste instans blot vil forværre situationen for den serbiske befolkning, må det give anledning til mistanke.
This is contrary to the Treaties and also unnecessarily delays a large number of decisions.
Det ser nu ud til, at valgresultaterne i de vigtigste byer, Beograd og Nil, er blevet anerkendt.
The Union cannot do anything with a government that has violated the rules of democracy so seriously.
Og som om disse udtalelser ikke var uheldige nok, tilføjede han, at de lande i syd, som havde til hensigt at komme med i den tredje fase fra starten, var alt for hysteriske.
In the same spirit, Mr President-in-Office, you must nip in the bud the attempts of some Member States to bring certain policies back under national control.
Og dernæst - som en europæisk udvælger -begrænsede han den tredje fase til Tyskland, Beneluxlandene, Frankrig og måske med lidt held, sagde han, Irland og Østrig.
I refer in particular to environment policy; in this respect, it should be pointed out that we have been waiting for the realization of one of the proposals which you highlight in your programme - final implementation of the agreement on the C02energy tax - since 1992, the year in which the Earth Summit took place, when we made a formal inter national commitment to bringing this legislative measure into effect in the European Union in the near future.
Hr. rådsformand, De har i Deres tale citeret Havel og spurgt, om man kan kræve begejstring for Europa-Parlamentet har naturligvis denne begejstring - men det er ikke med sådanne taler, at man videregiver en begejstring for Europa eller får begejstringen for Europa til at vokse i de europæiske befolkninger.
With regard to internal policy matters, it is in my view a matter of urgency finally to adopt the Convention on the Common European Frontier Agreement, as well as to implement measures to combat terrorism and, of course -as other speakers have said - illegal drug trafficking.
Willockx (PSE). - (NL) Fru formand, hr. minister, 1997 er et overordentlig vigtigt år for Europa, det er allerede med rette sagt gentagne gange her.
The Union and the Member States must make every effort to ensure that the IMF does not make any concessions to the present Serbian government.
Små lande med handlekraft, som vil fortsætte traditionen med små landes gode formandskab.
The Union needs to make this clear, but it must also be prepared to help to strengthen democracy there.
Irland udførte bestemt et godt stykke arbejde.
It is everyone's responsibility.
Nederlandene står nu over for den meget specielle, måske historiske, opgave at færdiggøre den sidste del eller forberede den sidste del af regeringskonferencen.
President Milosevic is wavering at the moment, but his concessions have made little impression on the demonstrators, and he obviously still needs a little more encouragement.
Vi har med hensyn til det nederlandske formandskab kort sagt en agtpågivende tillid. Tillid til den traditionelle, effektive og pragmatiske politik.
The presidency can help here by organizing a special troika mission to apply the necessary pressure on the spot.
Agtpågivenhed også fordi vi somme tider i avisudklip, interviewer med nøglepersoner i den »lilla« koalition i Nederlandene, såsom hr. Bolkestein, somme tider læser ting om Europa, som netop er det omvendte af inspiration af, hvad vi vil med Europa. Jeg regner derfor med, hr. Van Mierlo, hr. formand, hr. Patijn, at De ikke vil bruge hr. Bolkesteins inspiration som vejviser under formandskabet for regeringskonferencen, men snarere Beneluxmemorandummet.
Lastly, Mr President-in-Office, I believe that the fundamental nature of the parallel competences of the national parliaments and the European Parliament must not be changed in the next Treaty.
Hr. Van Mierlo, jeg er glad for, at De opfordrede til mere kvalificeret flertal.
I was a little disappointed with Mr van Mierlo's statement that although he supports our resolution, he is not sure whether organizing a troika mission is the right thing to do.
Medens netop det nederlandske formandskab lægger så megen vægt på forbindelsen mellem skatte- og afgiftspolitik og beskæftigelse, medens netop det nederlandske formandskab lægger så megen vægt på C0
I think the people in Belgrade are entitled to expect a European Union presence, and I would repeat that we need to have a more visible profile there. It is important for the opposition, but it is also an investment in future relations with what we hope will be a more democratic country.
-afgiften, medens vi netop har
That realism really has to be developed.
2 konstateret, at C0
That is very good.
2 storie, netop er forårsaget af denne lammende enstemmig hed.
We have already had the first reading in Parliament and I do not see any reason why they should not make progress.
I det klassiske værk, »Don Juan Tenorio«, som De måske kender, siges det, at anger er sjælens frelse.
Likewise, I believe that Parliament should not dwell excessively on national issues in these six-monthly de bates on the Council presidency.
Eller endelig kunne han i et anfald af ekstase og europæistisk begejstring komme med den erklæring, man ønsker: En fortolkning af traktaten, som giver flest mulige lande mulighed for at tilslutte sig den fælles mønt.
Having said that, Mr President-in-Office, and keeping to the broad outlines of your programme, I should like to examine various aspects of that European reality to which you refer, with a view to highlighting a number of the issues which Parliament considers to be important.
Må jeg for det tredje henvende mig specielt til hr. Patijn i hans egenskab af formand for Budgetrådet.
Thirdly, I agree with them that implementation and enforcement of environment policy are tremendously important issues, but I would ask them not to reach an
García-Margallo y Marfil sker, vil formanden sandsynligvis frelse sin sjæl.
Netherlands Government acting in its own interests?
I modsat ■fald er jeg sikker på, at den vil være fortabt.
From a historical standpoint, I cannot help but find this slightly amusing.
er den første af formændene, som kommer med en fortolkning ­ tilpasset ånden og indholdet i traktaterne ­af det som er essensen af det roterende formandskab for Rådet, som er fjernt fra enhver form for voluntarisme og demagogi rettet mod indenrigspolitiske mål.
agreement at the first Environment Council but rather to wait until the second one so that they can have the benefit of consultation and discussion with Parliament on this very important subject.
Wiersma (PSE). ­ (NL) Fru formand, jeg vil gerne hylde den nederlandske udenrigsminister for hans udførlige re­degørelse om det nederlandske formandskab.
Fourthly, I hope that they will try to deal with the auto oil programme, again, not at the first Environment Council but at the second one, because we can help there.
Det nederlandske formandskab kan efter Parlamentets opfattelse med det samme gå i gang med det presserende udenrigspolitiske problem, som vi vil lægge særlig vægt på under denne forhandling.
Reding (PPE). - (FR) Mr President, the Dutch presidency is not going to be an easy one. There is a serious risk that no major decisions can be taken before the British elections, by which time there will be only a few weeks' working time left before the Amsterdam summit.
Jeg mener, det er meget vigtigt, at Deres formandskab sørger for at rydde op i skufferne i Rådet, som er den institution, der er mest bagud med hensyn til udkast til direktiver og forordninger. Det er hverken Kommissionen eller Parlamentet, der forsinker lovgivningsprocessen, det er Rådet.
Lastly, I hope that they will recognize that we do not yet have the framework programme on water and that they will therefore encourage the Commission to reach agree ment on that so that we can begin to work jointly.
Der er en opgave at gå i gang med, og vi forventer os meget af formandskabets arbejde.
IN THE CHAIR: MR VERDE I ALDEA Vice-President
Det går ikke længere.
Yet what does the record show?
Valgsvindel er valgsvindel, og det har OSCE­delegationen konstateret uden nogen tvivl.
In all these areas, the intergovernmental conference has proved ineffective.
Derudover ville De gøre en stor tjeneste, hvis De i Rådet kunne støtte ånden i traktaterne og ikke den fordrejning, der sker i praksis. Jeg hentyder til, at Rådet alt for ofte søger at nå frem til enighed, selv i de tilfælde, hvor traktaten giver mulighed for at træffe beslutninger med kvalificeret flertal.
In judicial cooperation, in police cooperation, the story is always the same: organized crime has created its European theatre of operations, while those who should be fighting it are taking cover behind the rampart of their so-called sovereign interests and so achieving little or nothing.
Dette er også i modstrid med trakta­terne og forsinker mange beslutninger unødigt.
To continue along this road, Mr President, is to face certain failure.
Unionen kan ikke have at gøre med en regering, som krænker de demokratiske regler så groft.
I would remind him that European integration was an extremely bold venture undertaken by earlier generations who hoped to realize a dream.
Den serbiske regering lukker med sin optræden vejen til Europa.
The idea was that there should be much less talk of swords, and much more of the efficient use of ploughshares.
Forbindelserne må fastfryses, så længe præsident Milosevic ikke for 100 % har indrømmet.
This has actually worked very successfully, and I suppose you could say that we are now living in a kind of 'paradise found'.
Kommissær Van de Bræk deler heldigvis denne opfattelse, det fremgik for lidt siden.
But in the hands of pragmatic bureaucrats, all this becomes in the long run is an empty shell, an edifice, as you said in your speech.
kret til miljøpolitikken, og i denne sektor skal vi huske, at et af de forslag, De gør opmærksom på i Deres program, nemlig en definitiv iværksættelse af aftalen om C0
However, I think it is very important to help the Netherlands Government to maintain its momentum in the presidency, which I assume will be safe in your capable hands.
2 energiafgiften, er noget vi har ventet på siden 1992, hvor
So there are two inescapable conclusions.
Miljøtopmødet blev afholdt, og vi indgik en formel inter­ national aftale om, at denne lovgivningsforanstaltning omgående skulle træde i kraft i Den Europæiske Union.
First, let those who cling to their sovereignty understand that unless they pool something of that sovereignty they risk losing all of it.
Hr. formand, jeg mener ikke, man i den kommende traktat skal fordreje de to adskilte kompetencer hos henholdsvis de nationale parlamenter og Europa­Parlamentet. Enhver fordrejning eller sammenblanding af disse kompetencer ville være meget negativ for vores fremtidige arbejde.
You are familiar with our parliamentary committee of inquiry in the Netherlands into the conduct of the police and judiciary.
Jeg finder dets program en underlig blanding af prisværdige ambitioner og manglende realisme: Manglende realisme, fordi jeg mener, at der er problemer med Fællesskabets tidsplaner og maskineri, som ikke afspejles i det program, der er offentliggjort. Denne realisme skal virkelig udvik­les.
It is not our intention, and never has been, to take powers away from the national parliaments, but simply to provide a safe Community haven for those powers which have been abandoned on the wrong doorstep at the Council in Brussels.
Jeg var lidt skuffet over reaktionen fra udenrigsminister Van Mierlo, som sagde, at han tilslutter sig indholdet i det foreliggende beslutningsforslag, men at han på dette punkt endnu ikke sikkert ved, om han nu også skal handle sådan og rejse dertil med trojka­delegationen.
van Mierlo, President-in-Office of the Council. - (NL) Mr President, I should like to thank the honourable Members for their comments - for their praise and appreciation, of course, but also for their criticisms.
Jeg synes, at Den Europæiske Union ikke må vente for længe for ikke dermed igen at løbe en risiko for, at initiativet overlades til amerikanerne.
We are at the very beginning of our period in office, and as President I naturally have my own ideas on all kinds of things to do with Europe, but as President I also have to listen to what people say, because all their comments will be relevant when it comes to finding a consensus.
Det kan aldrig nøjagtigt fastsættes, hvornår og med hvilket held man kan sende en sådan delegation.
I am therefore grateful for almost all the criticisms which have been voiced, apart from those which had a strongly national flavour.
Jeg tror, at befolkningen i Beograd har ret til Den Europæiske Unions tydelige tilstedeværelse.
One Member had a good deal to say in this vein, including, rather unnecessarily, that she felt Dutch through and through.
Det er vigtigt for oppositionen nu, men samtidig en investering i de fremtidige forbindelser med et forhåbentlig mere demokratisk land.
But I am also grateful to her for her criticisms, which I shall also be able to use, and that applies to everyone's comments.
Jeg mener, at det er prisværdigt, at formandskabet ønsker at sikre, at miljø­ og sundhedspolitikken integreres behø­rigt med andre politikker, navnlig beskæftigelsespolitik­ken.
I can be fairly brief in my reply, since many of the remarks made come under the portfolios of other ministers, whom you will be seeing here on many other occasions.
Men jeg har et par specifikke bemærkninger, som jeg gerne vil fremsætte.
They will be able to discuss the issues with you in much more detail.
Valverde López (PPE). ­ (ES) Fru formand, andre medlemmer har kritiseret den hollandske økonomimini­sters politiske fejltrin.
I think you need to be rather more ambitious, and on the subject of asylum policy you made a rather amusing comment about the policy in the Netherlands.
Jeg mener ikke, at dette emne bør forplumre realiteten i det hollandske formandskabs pro­gram.
You said that the Commission is to be made responsible for coming up with a fraud-proof passport.
Kenneth Collins jelser og den nødvendige parlamentariske kontrol på europæisk plan.
However, the view taken in the Netherlands is that we need to be strict in applying the criteria, and that there must be no cheating, and I am speaking here in particular to those countries which have had a whole week in which to savour their indignation.
Jeg håber, at det vil arbejde på at opnå en aftale vedrørende både drikke- og badevand.
What I said was that we need not try to fire everyone with enthusiasm about it all at once, but at the same time these of us who are actively involved must feel passionately about it, otherwise it will not work.
Vi har allerede haft førstebehandlingen i Parlamentet, og jeg kan ikke se nogen grund til, at det ikke skulle gøre fremskridt her. Jeg håber meget, at det kan.
What I need is passion of a practical kind, and I need to find it in others if I am to be able to carry out my task.
