Den vej er allerede kortlagt - den er vel betrådt og kaldes liberalt demokrati.
Herman (PPE). - (FR) Mr President-in-Office of the Council, how could I fail to agree with your speech this morning.
side uden så meget som at rådføre Dem med Den Europæiske Union om spørgsmålet om truslen fra Bagdad og truslen om at bombe Bagdad.
at the European level, as this is something which is sup posed to be both a national and an 'EU-wide' affair. There is no absolute truth, there are no clear models for how we are to proceed.
Det var en fejltagelse og forårsagede stor bestyrtelse her i Parlamentet.
We must, however, 'keep the pot boiling', and must not give up this struggle.
Lad mig slutte af i en positiv tone.
It is true, the British presidency has done a good job.
Jeg hilser især velkommen, at dette formandskab har bestræbt sig på konstruktivt at forhandle med enkeltmedlemmer af dette Parlament.
More than others before, it has remained attentive to the wishes of this Parliament, thanks to the number of con tacts your ministers have maintained with our committees and I can vouch for that personally.
Jeg takker især Doug Henderson.
This is no doubt a good thing for Eu rope.
Jeg er blevet modtaget velvilligt af mange ministre i de seneste seks måneder i mine bestræbelser på at opnå mål 1- status for Cornwall.
Yet besides the historic step towards monetary un ion taken at the start of May there has been progress in other areas too.
Jeg hilser generelt denne tilgængelighed vel kommen.
For example there are now ratified Eu ropol conventions.
For det andet er det, at vi har været tilskuere i spørgsmålet om den fælles valuta en væsentlig strategisk fejl begået af Deres regering.
I would like to come back to the concerns of Parliament and the Commission on the subject of coordinating eco nomic policies.
Jeg er nødt til at bede Dem om at kom mentere Deres departementschef, Sir Terence Bums' ord i Bruxelles i sidste uge, hvor han, da han blev spurgt, hvorfor Storbritannien ikke sluttede sig til den fælles valuta, sagde to ord: »Rupert Murdoch.« Hvomår vil De høre op med at lade dem kujonere af The Sun, hr. Blair, og sige ligeud, hvornår Deres regering vil slutte sig til den fælles valuta?
We cannot, on the one hand, stress - as you did in your conclusions - the importance of this coordination and, on the other hand, allow the Committee on Monetary Affairs to prune away everything that the Com mission recommendation contained that was relevant and of operational value in this respect.
Jeg må sige, at Deres interesse for at bygge et folkets Europa er noget, vi alle vil støtte.
You said - and we support you - let us seek to promote the accession of our citizens to the European fold.
Hvis De kan berolige os om disse ting, kan det være, at vi tror på Deres interesse i et folkets Europa.
Then, make Europe more effective, this is what the citizens expect of Europe. How do we make it more effective?
Formanden. - Tak til Europas mest velnærede spøgelse.
Finally, you want the citizens to have a say in the matter.
Coates (GUE/NGL). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg mener, at dette afgående formandskab bør kaldes Blair-formandskabet fil ære for en meget stor englænder.
The concept of 'national sovereignty' is held up as not approving of all this.
Her henviser jeg naturligvis til Eric Blair, bedre kendt som George Or well.
I ask you, Mr President-in-Office, how can national sovereignty be levelled against the require ments of citizens' security?
Orwell beskrev, hvordan Europa af 1984 blev styret af et Sandhedens Ministerium, hvor regeringens medietalsmænd forklarede, hvordan den krig, som Fredsministeriet førte, altid gik godt. Denne verdens sprog kaldtes »nysprog«.
Why is progress not possible in a European area which the people would welcome with open arms, in contrast to other developments where they are more reserved?
Det ny Labour taler dette sprog med fuldendt dygtighed.
I think much more progress could have been possible in this area.
Berthu (I-EDN). - (FR) De herrer formænd, konklusionerne fra Cardiff-topmødet er med vilje gjort vage med hensyn til EU's institutioners fremtid efter udvidelsen. Det står dog at læse, at man - og jeg citerer - skal »styrke Unionens demokratiske legitimitet og føre subsidiaritetsprincippet ud i livet«.
Lööw (PSE). - (SV) Mr President, I would like to con gratulate Great Britain on a well carried out Presidency, which should also be seen in the light of having com pleted a start for EMU and a strong and successful com mitment to peace in Northern Ireland.
Det er ret så passende, at Blair-formandskabets sidste præstation var ophævelsen af det fjerde fattigdomsprogram.
You have expressed your intention, which I welcome, of improving relations with Turkey as"%ell as setting in place the financial framework of the Customs Union agreement.
Jeg er meget glad for at høre premierministeren meddele, at ophævelsen nu bliver ophævet.
I would like to point out to you that this would also be a way of combating organized crime and drugtrafficking in Europe.
Det er klart, at der stadig er lidt plads i vores Europa til, at den offentlige mening kan gøre sig gældende.
Because it is via Turkey that a lot of the drugs are entering Europe.
De søger en vej mellem sandhed og løgn, mellem ret og uret.
Without improved coop eration successful crime prevention is not possible.
Kerr (V). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg er spøgelset ved det britiske formandskabs fest.
Hence I can only call upon you to continue on this course.
Dette spøgelse ønsker at sige et par ting om formandskabet.
It is that kind of expenditure, more than any other, which is associated with 'the people's Europe', the theme of the British Presidency.
For det første er der almindelig enighed i velunderrettede kredse i Bruxelles om, at det britiske formandskab har været noget af en fuser.
I am very happy to be able to pass on the answer we have been given today to the various organisations which have contacted me from Sweden, not least the organisations for the disabled - we have had some anxious telephone calls.
Det har lovet en masse men kun nået meget lidt, og topmødet i Cardiff blev af Financial Times opsummeret som værende »langt i ord men kort hvad handling angår«.
I can now tell them that they can look forward to next week with confidence; it is hoped that Mr Tony Blair will see to this.
Hr. rådsformand, Cardiff-topmødet har ikke givet nogen officiel udtalelse om det fællesbrev, som kansler Kohl og præsident Chirac fremlagde angående subsidiaritetsprincippet. Det var en klog beslutning, for med et brev, som
Habsburg-Lothringen (PPE). - (DE) Mr President, Mr President-in-Office, as many of the previous speakers have remarked, I too am obliged to describe the Cardiff Summit as something of a disappointment.
Berthu fra begyndelsen bekendtgør, at man for at gennemføre subsidiariteten på bedste måde skal undgå enhver ny na tionalisering, når man ikke langt.
Habsburg-Lothringen shortcomings within Turkey at the present time and there have been for many years.
Men, da De har talt om gode rådsresolutioner angående gennemsigtighed, er vi overraskede over aldrig at have hørt tale om det brev, kansler Kohl har sendt til Dem hr Blair, i forbindelse med hans fortolkning af den nye artikel 63 i Amsterdamtraktaten om gennemførelsen af en fælles immigrationspolitik.
Not least the informal special sum mit to be held in October of this year in Melk on the issues of transparency and subsidiarity must serve to ensure that a much-cited and almost as often misinterpreted concept like subsidiarity is finally given the correct substance.
Nu har vi en britisk regering, der helt rigtigt tror på Storbritanniens fremtid i Europa.
There is a lack of freedom of speech there and indeed Turkey has a government which is there by kind permission of the army.
Hvad står der dog i dette brev?
So there are a lot of things wanting.
Kan Rådets gennemsigtighed, hr. formand, tænkes at strække sig til at offentliggøre dette brev?
I do not think that we should entirely look to the Americans to influence our policy in that regard.
Amadeo (NI). - (IT) Hr. formand, for ti dage siden i Luxembourg slog Den Europæiske Unions finansministre faktisk en streg over den indsats, som Kommissionen havde bedt om med henblik på en kraftig finansiel sanering, og de udvandede i høj grad den Waigel-plan, der blev vedtaget for en måned siden på topmødet i Bruxelles, og gjorde denne indholdsløs.
This also means, however, that policy areas such as foreign and security policy need to be established at European level so that they do not lead to inefficient fragmentation, and we now' have the clear example of Kosovo, where more or less exactly the same mistakes have been made again as were made at the start of the civil war in Yugoslavia.
Af det britiske formandskab fremstår, som mange har nævnt, to resultater af enorm betydning: aftalen om at søsætte den fælles europæiske valuta og indledningen af forhandlingerne om at udvide Den Europæiske Union.
However, I do regret very much what appears to be the sniping which has been going on, on the part perhaps of the Foreign Secretary, against the European Parliament in respect of the many resolutions we have adopted which we think are soundly based on human rights.
Den fælles valuta blev etableret på et solidt grundlag.
I would like to see a closer understanding be tween the British Foreign Office and ourselves.
Der er ingen tvivl i mit sind om, at euroen vil fremstå som en sund og stabil valuta.
It is all too easy to pay lip service to human rights.
Det er et tilbageskridt, eller rettere et skridt i den forkerte retning, der kan blive meget dyrt for den fælles valutas Europa.
I have an article here from the Financial Times about an Amnesty In ternational report which says that far too little attention is being paid to human rightsissues in the 142 countries with which Amnesty is concerned.
Den økonomiske og sociale politik er kort sagt blevet glemt.
I think we really must give this a lift up the agenda.
Man slækkede endda på sin holdning med hensyn til fordømmelsen af arbejdstidens nedsættelse til 35 timer om ugen, og det gjorde man med den meget skønsmæssige klausul, at de 35 timer godt må indføres, når blot de ikke medfører en stigning i enkeltlønsomkostningerne.
Unfortunately, the British presidency has made less progress on the issue of deregulation and de-bureaucrati-zation, which had been heralded in numerous attractive brochures.
Cardiff er et topmøde uden ambitioner, hvor man kun forsøger at identificere problemerne uden at komme med nogen løsninger.
When I read in the President's concluding statements about a Union closer to the citizens, I ask my self why the Cardiff Summit has failed to implement sufficiently the European Parliament's report on information policy from May of this year.
Initiativet af Kohl og Chirac bragte i øvrigt gamle stridsspørgsmål på bane igen, så som decentraliseringen af Fællesskabets beslutninger el ler institutionsreformen.
For this called for an open information policy provided by common EU information offices instead of the previously separate offices for Com mission and Parliament.
Udvidelsen er ligeledes af enorm betydning.
IN THE CHAIR: MR GIL-ROBLES President
Under det britiske formandskab har job skabelse med rette stået allerøverst på dagsordenen.
I will respond as briefly and fully as I can in the time that is available to me. .
For mandskabet har erkendt, at vi må acceptere forandringer, hvis vi er virkelig seriøse, når det gælder om at nå frem til øgede beskæftigelsesmuligheder.
We need to press in Parliament for the unresolved, but nevertheless important issues to be implemented under the Austrian presidency.
Vores europæiske arbejdsstyrkes kvalitet er den vigtigste enkeltfaktor til fastslåelse af vores fremtidige konkurrenceevne og dermed vores fremtidige velstand.
If security policy is not functioning, if the safety of the individual citizen is not guaranteed, then the other policies cannot really have any impact at economic and social levels.
Nu, hvor det britiske formandskab er ved at nærme sig sin afslutning, har vi alle et ansvar for at sikre, at sådanne spørgsmål som beskæftigelsesevne, 'tilpasningsevne, lige muligheder, livslang uddannelse og iværksættervirksomhed alle føres videre og følges af alle medlemsstater.
I thank people for what, in general, have been very kind and positive remarks. Indeed some of the most negative remarks have actually come from British representatives but then, there are perhaps some British traditions that never change.
Den fælles skrivelse fra kansleren og den franske præsident sætter faktisk gang i diskussionen igen om subsidiariteten, institutionsproblemerne og den europæiske kon struktions formål, som lader til at være i tråd med Deres forslag, hr. formand for Rådet, om at oprette en gruppe på højt niveau med henblik på at studere det kommende Europas profil.
Moorhouse (PPE). - Mr President, I join colleagues in welcoming Mr Blair to Parliament today.
Det forekommer os paradoksalt, at der nu, hvor euroen udgør en vigtig integrationsfaktor, og hvor Europa-Parlamentets rolle lader til at blive styrket, er mange stater, der beder om en tænkepause, og som advarer imod en overdreven beslutningstagning.
My only regret is that he did not come here at the outset of the presidency because he will know, as I know, the key importance of working closely with colleagues within the European Community and Union and with Member States. It is only through the closest cooperation that we can really achieve the results that we want.
Jeg var rigtig glad for, at et sådant suc cesfuldt topmøde blev afholdt i Cardiff, hovedstaden i Wales og byen midt i min valgkreds. I sidste weekend var Cardiff-topmødet en milepæl i Europas udvikling - det var vigtigt for Europa, vigtigt for Storbritannien og også vigtigt for Wales.
I would like to express my thanks to all the political leaders of the main parties in Northern Ireland and indeed to the political leadership in the Republic of Ireland for their work in bringing about at least some hope of future prosperity and peace for people in Northern Ireland.
Den Nationale Alliance ønsker et Europa, der er nærmere borgerne; et Europa, der resolut tager fat på reform spørgsmålet.
I am just going to concentrate in the two minutes I have on a couple of points, one about Turkey and the other about human rights.
Men et Europa med 25 eller 30 stater kræver et meget stærkt politisk system - og jeg gentager politisk! - der kan opveje virkningerne af dets deltageres antal og forskellighed.
To a mild extent I part company from Mr Nassauer but I would wish to draw Mr Blair's attention to the situation in Turkey itself.
Jo større territoriet er, jo mere vil der være behov for en politisk samhørighed i den retning.
Of course Turkey must be quite free to conduct its own policy within Turkey and on a bilateral basis with other countries.
Vi har oplevet et formandskab, hvor der ikke var lys forude, hvis vi tænker på, at det kun har nået sine målsætninger i for bindelse med rammeprogrammet for forskning og udvikling samt liberaliseringen af markedet for gas og elektricitet.
But when we are talking about the possibility of Turkey be coming a Member of the European Union we are obliged to take a much closer interest at the way in which it con ducts its affairs.
Det er endda et formandskab, der stod i skyggen, ef tersom det besluttede at holde sig udenfor i det afgørende
We do look to Turkey to meet the criteria which we, as the European Union, lay down for Member ship. Mr Blair knows perfectly well that there are many
Til næste år vil Wales have sin egen nationale forsamling.
I should like to say a personal word of thanks to Jacques Santer, the President of the European Commission.
Denne forsamling vil sikre, at Wales ligesom Storbritannien kommer til at spille en fuldstændig rolle i vores Folkets Europa.
He will know that one of the strange aspects of our debate in Cardiff about the future of Europe was my insistence that, although I believe strongly in the principle of subsidiarity, as I indicated in my speech, I believe that there are significant changes needed in the European Union to bring it closer to people.
Nr. 4-521/257 lerede er slået ind på.
No 4-521/257
Europa har brug for en ny vej, der igen giver medlemsstaterne større vægt.
The bad reason is when the Commission does the job the Commission is actually supposed to do: in making sure, for example, that the single European market is driven through and there is progress and change in Europe.
Böge (PPE). - (DE) Hr. formand for Rådet, med tidligere erfaringer in mente vil jeg gerne udtrykkeligt påskønne rådsformandskabets vilje til meget indgående at føre for handlinger med Europa-Parlamentet.
action plans are the first time that governments have actually put together employment programmes - action to tackle social exclusion and unemployment - and agreed a process whereby those are going to be reviewed, evaluated and then further steps taken.
For mig var et af det britiske rådsformandskabs highlights Gordon Browns re degørelse den 2. maj over for Europa-Parlamentet.
We are at the beginning of that process but it is a long way from the old days when people said that these are not issues that the European Un ion need concern itself with - this is simply for Member States.
Men jeg tilføjer, at der i betragtning af den fortræffelige be grundelse for de historiske beslutninger kun manglede én ting: Det Forenede Kongeriges øjeblikkelige erklæring om tiltrædelse af Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union.
Jobs are one area where we can learn from each other and where action is essential to tackle the funda mental problems of social exclusion and longterm unemployment in our countries today.
Det er som oftest et slet skjult forsøg på at overføre enkelte elementer fra EU-politikken til den hjemlige arena for derved at tilfredsstille utilfredse vælgere.
I have indicated how we intend to take this process forward and resolve the legal base following the European Court of Justice's judgment.
Men, hvis der findes en EU-institution, der har slået fejl i den senere tid, så er det Rådet, hvor visse ministre og regeringschefer foretrækker at beskæftige sig med EP-medlemmernes godtgørelser i stedet for at beskæftige sig med de reelle problemer i EU.
That willingness to accept that it is in everyone's interests to get these issues sorted out is something that is good for the European Union as a whole.
Jeg ønsker udtrykkeligt at understrege, at jeg beklager Kommissionens beslutning om ophævelse af eksportforbuddet for hele Det Forenede Kongerige.
Can I say to our colleague from the Green Party, who made some kind remarks but criticized us on the environment, our achievement in the Environment Council, con cluded yesterday, represents a very significant step for ward.
Dette er ikke i overensstemmelse med den præcise ordlyd i aftalerne fra Firenze.
Most people thought Kyoto would never happen.
Og jeg vil gerne tilføje, at jeg i to dage har været i besiddelse af en inspektionsrapport fra EU-inspektø-rerne, som blev afleveret for sent. Her står der Jeg citerer: »The level of noncompliance is rather high. The official authorities do not check in the credible way, contrary to the instructions«. Jeg kunne blive ved.
Then most people thought that it would not be possible to agree to implement Kyoto.
Så kommer de gamle idéer frem, som vi har diskuteret 1000 gange.
I should like to deal with the comments made by several Members.
Jeg har erfaret, at ingen tænker på den gode, gamle deus ex machina fra et senat af nationale parlamentarikere for at løse problemet med det demokratiske underskud.
There was some criticism here that I shall deal with as diplomatically as I can: the criticism that the British presidency has been too close to the United States in our foreign policy considerations.
På denne baggrund og også i betragtning af et besøg fra Europa-Parlamentet må jeg sige, at man leverede et show til os dengang, men ikke nogen gennemførelse i praksis.
Can I say very gently to our colleague from the Scottish Nationalist Party that I support devolution in Scotland and decentralization within the UK very strongly.
Og derfor, hr. formand Santer, skal det også bemærkes i for bindelse med diskussionen af agendaen, at Kommissionen ikke kun er drivkraft for integrationen, men også et parti i denne forretning.
From my own political perspective, and I hope he understands where we differ on this, I support devolution but I will al ways stand out against narrow-minded nationalism. I do not believe that is the way to go.
Hvis vi vil overholde tidsplanen i forbindelse med det tyske rådsformandskab, er der to be tingelser.
I would also like to thank particularly Mr Edward M c M il lan-Scott for his contribution.
Kommissionen må med kendskab til den aktuelle diskussion, også i Parlamentet, fremsætte agendaforslagene til efteråret i revideret form, og for det andet har vi brug for et rådsformandskab under sikker ledelse af forbundskansler Helmut Kohl, således at dette kan føres til ende med succes, for vi må ikke overlade forretningen til amatører.
It is important to remind people what they were missing and I can only say, as kindly as I can to him, I think his problem is that he agrees with my position on Europe rather more than the position of his own party.
Men det er indlysende, at Den Europæiske Union virkelig har et problem med at gøre sig politisk synlig.
I ask you to realize that there are forces within the United States who want to have an isolationist American policy, who want the US to disengage from its responsibilities in the world.
Når f.eks. kommissionsformanden, som har et stort politisk ansvar i EU, udnævnes af Det Europæiske Råd som ved et hemmeligt pavevalg på baggrund af en indviklet alkymi og uden offentlig debat, hvordan skal borgerne så føle sig be rørt ?
I would also simply point out - as indeed I said when I ad dressed the Socialist Group earlier today - that in respect of Iraq it is simply not true to say that we did not contact, either collectively or individually, other European Union Member States.
Denne fremgangsmåde vil samtidig føre til en større sammenhæng i de politiske rækker, en mere seriøs overvejelse angående Kommissionens fremtidige politi ske program og til en veritabel politisk dimension i EU.
My own belief is that we would not have seen the progress with the UN inspections in Iraq had it not been for the firm stand of diplomacy backed up, if necessary, by the use of force. I believe that was the right policy.
Lukas (NI). - (DE) Hr. formand, Cardiff og det britiske formandskab har klart ført til nogle erkendelser, der be kræfter dem, der altid har troet på, at et Europa, som vil regulere mindre centralt og overlade mere til de suveræne stater, er et bedre Europa, et Europa, som dets borgere bedre forstår og bedre kan acceptere.
Finally, without making this too introspective a British summing-up, I would like to reply to my former col leagues, Mr Coates and Mr Kerr. I think that Mr Coates said that the British Government was undemocratic.
Hernandez Mollar (PPE). - (ES) Hr. formand, det er rig tigt, at vi er ved afslutningen af et formandskab uden sær lige resultater. Der var heller ingen motiver til det.
I would like to respond by saying that they were elected as Labour Members of Parliament on a Labour ticket. They left the Labour Party.
Selvom der ikke blev fundet nogen løsninger i Cardiff, så må Det Europæiske Råd dog i det mindste have indset, at grænserne for, hvad man kan gøre, er nået, når nogle be taler mindre, andre modtager lige meget, og alle skal finansiere udvidelsen i fællesskab - og alt sammen uden at øge budgetloftet.
I thank Mr de Vries and others for their kind comments on the normalization of relations between the UK and Eu rope and say that I agree very much indeed that we should try to complete the programme of reform to make the Eu ropean Union more competitive and, in particular, to make its single market come about.
Og den aftale, der er op-
It is difficult and it will take time.
var stærkt præget af det klassiske diplomati.
Blair during the course of our presidency.
Det er bragt videre, og nu skal den parlamentarisk kontrollerede politik bringe enhedsværket videre.
By agreeing the time table, as I think President Santer was saying a moment ago, we have concentrated people's minds and change must now come.
