Vi viser derfor god vilje ved vores handling, selvom vi havde foretrukket, at betænkningen på nogle punkter som udvidelsen af Unionen og genskabelse af balancen i dens politiske og økonomiske aktioner i Sydeuropa og Middel havsområdet havde været mere beslutsom og fuldstændig.
Our vote in favour is therefore further confirmation of the vocation and political choice of the Italian Right, with the primary objective of creating a real political Europe.
for »Europa« er, det fremgår af meningsmålinger, valgresultaterne og valgdeltagelsen ved Palamentsvalg, i de forløbne år blevet mindre.
before the draft treaty is even ratified by the Member States we aheady talking about the essential need to amend it?
Nu afventer vi, at handling følger efter ord med særiig henvisning til relevansen af »godkendelsen uden forbehold« af den fælles erklæring fra Belgien, Frankrig og Italien, som peger på nødvendigheden af yderligere institutionelle reformer som forudsætning for enhver yderligere udvidelse.
On the threshold of economic and monetary union, the Union has still not adapted its institutions to the forthcoming enlargement - which, by any reckoning, is seriously irresponsible. It still does not have a common defence policy, and it has still not clarified the treaties so that the citizens can understand them.
Vores positive stemme er derfor endnu en bekræftelse af det italienske højres kald og politiske valg med det hovedformål at nå frem til skabelsen af et virkeligt politisk Europa.
Lastly - although some people wrongly believe that this a minor issue - the Amsterdam Treaty deliberately fails to include any reference to tourism, ignoring the fact that, amongst other things, tourism is the biggest source of job creation in the European Union.
Udvidelsen af Europa-Parlamentets beføjelser er efter vores mening ikke den mest nærliggende løsning på det »demokratiske underskud« ved beslutningstagningen i EU.
Cot (PSE), in writing. - (FR) I regret that the resolution presented by the Committee on Institutional Affairs by the Parliament has not taken up the conclusions of the legal committee relating to the re-numbering of the treaty.
Alt for lidt mærker man forståelsen af, at Parlamentet virker på stor afstand af borgerne.
The decision to re-number all of the articles in the treaty appears to me to be regrettable in two respects.
Det har pr. definition en mangelfuld repræsentativ kraft og legitimitet, blandt andet fordi det med et begrænset antal medlemmer skal repræsentere et stadigt større område. Selvom Europaparlamentet på en række områder spiller en nyttig rolle, bør de nationale parlamenter vedblive at være det vigtigste ret ningspunkt for borgerne .
As regards fundamentals, I fear Chat this may be an apparent simplification, which will in practice result in confusions and complications for the actual users of the treaty, who are the national administrations, professionals, etc..
Opmærksomheden vU i første instans være rettet mod de nationale parlamenter ved ratificeringen af Amsterdamtraktaten.
Any refer ence to the treaty will lead to two-fold searching and checking, both with the old numbering and the new.
Vi afviser Amsterdamtraktaten og har derfor også stemt imod betænkning af Méndez de Vigo/Tsatsos.
These necessarily brief remarks will explain why I ab stained in the vote, although I wish to qualify that abstention by congratulating Mr Méndez de Vigo on his excellent work, for as the poet Machado said, the road is built as we go along.
Cot (PSE), skriftlig. - (FR) Jeg beklager, at beslutningen' fremlagt af Udvalget om Institutionelle Spørgsmål og godkendt af Parlamentet ikke har medtaget konklusionerne fra Udvalget om Retlige Anliggender om en ny nummerering af traktaten.
Cushnahan (PPE), in writing. - Irish voters will have the opportunity to ratify the Amsterdam Treaty in a referendum due to be held in March of next year.
Som det er tilfældet med ethvert kompromis efterlader Amsterdamtraktaten alle, der som jeg har brændt for EU og det europæiske samarbejde i adskilUge årtier, sultne.
In particular I welcome die progress that has been made in the social area, especially with regard to employment, equal opportunities and anti-discrimination measures.
Lad os sige det klart: denne traktat er ikke på højde med indsatsen og de ambitioner for et EU-samarbejde, der på mindre end fem år skal kunne sætte godt gang i enhedsvalutaen, udvidelsen, kampen mod ledigheden, et politisk EU og et socialt EU.
Some positive decisions were also taken in relation to improving internal security although it has to be acknowledged that much more needs to be done if we are to win the war against organized crime, especially the drug barons.
Rent proceduremæssigt burde en så vigtig reform være blevet forberedt ved grundige rådføringer med de interesserede kredse, hvUket ikke har været tilfældet.
The failure to remove the national veto, develop a coherent common foreign and security policy and to introduce codecision for all legislative proposals will pose fundamental and long-term problems for the European Union particularly as we conclude our discus sions on enlargement.
Kun den europæiske advokatstand har reageret spontant ved at udtrykke sin modstand mod reformen.
These issues must be resolved before the accession of new Member States.
Men deres protester er blevet affejet med en håndbevægelse som forhastet teknokratisk argumentation.
A failure to do so could result in an enlarged Europe which is unable to take any decisions and represent a coherent and influential view to the outside world.
Men skal man så forkaste den og slutte sig til modstanderne, der er imod enhver form for EU-samarbejde?
Despite these reservations I still believe the treaty is worthy of support.
Cushnahan (PPE), skriftlig. - (EN) Irske vælgere får mulighed for at ratificere Amsterdamtraktaten ved en folkeafstemning, som skal afholdes i marts næste år.
Gutiérrez Díaz (PSE), in writing. - (ES) The motion for a resolution on the amendment of the Union Treaties submitted to the Plenary of the European Parliament by Mr Méndez de Vigo and Mr Tsatsos, on behalf of the Committee on Institutional Affairs, is, in my view, inadequate, ambiguous, irresolute and insensitive to public opinion and the role of the national parliaments.
Men til trods for manglerne repræsenterer traktaten et betydningsfuldt fremskridt i retning af europæisk integration.
But the European Parliament, in my view, now has a duty to make its critical assessment in accord ance with the positions that, it maintained throughout the Intergovernmental Conference.
Men vi må også kræve, at man i morgen afholder et topmøde om beskæftigelsen i Luxembourg, der er konkret, stærkt og aktivt og, at man i overmorgen skaber nye institutionelle reformer sådan, at den kommende udvidelse kan foregå korrekt uden at splitte og svække os.
Consequently, in view of the rejection of the amendments that I tabled along those lines, and with a sense of responsibility as a committed European, I voted against the Méndez de Vigo-Tsatsos report, although without prejudging the position that the Iniciativa per Catalunya MPs will adopt in the Spanish Parliament in due course.
Med Amsterdam har vi tilbagelagt en ny etape. Den kunne have været bedre, men det vigtige er, at vi nu begynder at forberede den næste.
Diez de Rivera Icaza (PSE), in writing. - (ES) The outcome of the revision of the Maastricht Treaty was far from satisfactory, since the political objectives that had been set were not met.
Der blev også truffet nogle positive beslutninger i forbindelse med forbedring af indre sikkerhed, selvom det også skal anerkendes, at der skal gøres meget mere, hvis vi skal vinde over organiseret kriminalitet, i særdeleshed narkobaroner.
Lienemann (PSE), in writing. - (FR) I am voting against this report, because the Treaty of Amsterdam does not allow for the establishment of a true political pillar providing for the balanced completion of the monetary aspect of European Union.
Ή1 trods for min skepsis mener jeg stadig, at traktaten er værd at støtte.
The socalled environmental guarantee is even a step backwards compared with the time when it was introduced.
Diez de Rivera Icaza (PSE), skriftlig. - (ES) Resultateme af revisionen af Maastrichttraktaten er ikke særlig tilfredsstillende, da de politiske mål, der var blevet fastsat for reformen af Maastrichttraktaten, ikke er blevet op fyldt.
The IGC should also make it possible to develop Euro pean policy in social and labour relationships, fields which are critical to our peoples. We cannot but observe that the Maastricht bet has not paid off, and that the intended balance has not in fact been respected.
Lienemann (PSE), skriftlig. - (FR) Jeg stemmer imod betænkningen, fordi Amsterdamtraktaten ikke gør det muligt at oprette en reel politisk søjle, med hvilken vi på en afbalanceret måde kan fuldende Den Europæiske Monetære Union.
This situation is all the more serious as our destiny is increasingly conditioned by the decisions taken by an independent European central bank, without there being any government with decisionmaking powers in the economic field over the major areas of choice affecting economic growth, European competitiveness, and employ ment.
Maastrichttraktaten indgik væddemålet om, at man ville gå frem mod en enhedsvaluta med stram økonomisk konvergens (alt for stram i øvrigt), men også at man ville befæste den politiske integration ved at planlægge en institutionel revidering, der skulle forbedre effektiviteten, den demokratiske funktion og Europa-Parlamentets rolle.
The peoples of Europe want to have cooperation, but not at the price of subordinating themselves to the EU's centralistic, bureau cratic and old-fashioned Acquis Communautaire. Accord ing to opinion poles in the Nordic countries, there is solid opposition to participation in EMU, i.e. the project which is in a way the engine for the creation of a federal state structure at the EU level.
På tærsklen til den fælles valuta har Unionen stadig ikke tilpasset institutionerne til udvidelsen - hvilket, hvordan man end ser på det, er en voldsom ansvarsløshed.
While the report proposes further institutional re form, prior to any enlargement, the European Parliament has not moved to a position where it can make this an effective and absolute condition.
Ligeledes er der stadig ingen fælles forsvarspolitik og ingen større gennemskuelighed i traktaterne til lettelse af borgenes forståelse.
We have not achieved a situation where the Parliament can weigh with its influence on the future summit on employment at Luxembourg, and hence, in practice, move social Europe on wards.
Regeringskonferencen skulle endvidere gøre det muUgt at udarbejde en EU-politik på et så vigtigt område for vores borgere som det sociale.
The basis for every society which wants to guarantee people jobs, a good education, a good environment, social justice and solidarity with the people of poor countries, is that its political system is popular and democratically legitimate.
Det monetære EU går frem med raske skridt, mens det politiske EU synker sammen i kraftesløshed.
While the introduction of a reference to social affairs and employment in the new treaty is positive, the way this is formulated is ambiguous, as the treaty simply makes reference to the coordination of policies of employment, which remain national.
Og til sidst, selvom det fejlagtigt forekommer nogle at være et ubetydeligt emne, har Amsterdamtraktaten be vidst undladt at inddrage enhver reference til turismen, og ignorerer dermed, at turismen, blandt mange andre ting, er Unionens vigtigste kilde til fremme af beskæftigelsen.
In brief, once again, Europe has postponed political reinforcement, and has left the social question in abeyance, while monetarism and liberal dogma is enforced upon us in the form of constrictive criteria.
Det, der blev fremstiUet med den kortfattethed, som kræves her i Parlamentet, ville kunne forklare årsagen til min stemmeundladelse, som jeg ændrer som følge af det fantastiske stykke arbejde, som hr. Méndez de Vigo har udført, for som også Machado sagde: Hvor der er vilje, er der vej.
Far from serving the ambitions of those who wish for a federal Europe, a Europe where the people can make their will felt, the treaty is a consecration of weakened nation states, without the construction of a true European political counter-power. It is unacceptable.
Således bliver EU mere og mere et enormt økonomisk område løsrevet fra enhver demokratisk regulering eller kontrol.
What I most regret is the failure to secure a proper reform of the way decisions are made; institutional reform as we call it.
Udvidelsen med Østlandene vil kun forøge denne opløsning.
This failure has to be described to the people in plain language.
Selvom betænkningen foreslår, at man udarbejder en ny institutionel revidering før enhver udvidelse, er Europa-Parlamentet ikke i stand til at sørge for, at denne betingelse gøres effektiv og absolut.
It means that if we enlarge the Community then from that day on not only present Member States can prevent important decisions but even Slovenia or Estonia will be able to apply a veto and block important decisions in a whole range of Community policies.
Selvom den indførte henvisning til beskæftigelsen og det sociale område i den nye traktat er positiv, er formuleringen tvetydig, idet den stiller sig tilfreds med at henvise til den politiske koordination af beskæftigelsen, der forbliver national.
Lindqvist (ELDR), Eriksson, Seppänen, Sjöstedt and Svensson (GUE/NGL), Gahrton, Holm and Schörling (V), Bonde, Sandbæk and Krarup (I-EDN), in writing. - (SV) The Amsterdam Treaty does not constitute the final step towards creating a United States of Europe, but its contents move in a direction which strengthens the EU's ambitions to develop into a federal state structure with superpower characteristics.
Den betænkning, der er fremlagt for forsamUngen, sammen blander derimod kritikken, behovet for nye ændringer og nye metoder, med en konkret bekræftelse af, at Amsterdam-aftalerne hurtigt skal godkendes af de femten
All Member States have accepted the creation of a political union in ratifying the existing treaties, and that political union cannot be complete without the
Traktaten, der er langt fra ambitionen hos de, der ønsker et føderalt EU, hvor befolkningerne kan vise deres vUje, gør nationalstaterne svagere, uden at EU får en ægte politisk kraft.
Institutionally, it is the EU's supranational organs, the Commission, the Court of Justice and the European Parliament, which benefit from the Amsterdam Treaty.
Det er af stor betydning, at 70 % af al lovgivning fastsættes ved fælles beslutning af Parlamentet og Rådet.
McCartin communitarization in all fields, which itself raises so many obstacles on the path of the necessary enlargement.
Det demokratiske princip skal finde anvendelse på Den Europæiske Union som det gør på medlemssta terne.
Open communitarization of the two intergovernmental pillars of the Maastricht treaty: justice and internal affairs; and indirect communitarization, by means of its financing, of common foreign and security policy.
Institutionelt er det EU's overstatslige organ, Kommissionen, Domstolen og Parlamentet, der tjener på Amsterdam traktaten.
Far from being a harmless treaty, the Treaty of Amsterdam is considerably accentuating the process of federalization and centralization of the European Union.
De, der taber, er Ministerrådet og de nationale parlamenter.
Instead of making good the democratic deficit, it is increasing the democratic deficit.
Nordiske hjertesager om beskæftigelse, åbenhed og miljø er i bedste fald blevet udstyret med velvillige formuleringer, men disse kan dog i den sidste ende blive tvunget til at kapitulere over for det indre markeds overhøjhed.
Instead of providing Europe with the dynamic flexibility which it needed to come through this historic stage of continental reunification, the Treaty of Amsterdam is pushing us up the cul de sac of federalism.
Den såkaldte miljøgaranti er til og med et skridt tilbage i forhold til dengang, hvor den blev indført.
In so doing, the date of effective enlargement is being postponed.
Vi finder det også umotiveret at give de store lande yderligere màgt, hvis EU skal udvides.
I am sure that in the short term my own State will decide to opt out.
At Europa-Parlamentet skal have godkendelsesret ved traktatændringer, må afvises.
This is largely because the political establishment and the Irish media still insist, in all public discussion, on retaining the terminology of World War II and defining this question in terms of neutrality as was traditionally observed by the Irish State.
Det ville helt fjerne grundlaget for traktatens mellemstatslige karakter.
On the other hand, when opinion polls in heland offered the question whether heland should help to defend a fellow Member State the majority replied positively.
Endelig ønsker jeg at gøre klart, at det glæder mig, at vi har gjort fremskridt inden for den fælles sikkerheds- og forsvarspolitik.
For this reason, we shall resolutely militate against this very poor treaty, and promote an open concept of a variable geometry Europe.
Alle medlemsstater har accepteret dannelsen af en politisk union ved ratifikation af eksisterende traktater, og at denne politiske union ikke vil være fuldstændig uden udviklingen af fælles forsvarsforanstaltninger.
This will mean that at last we can welcome into a renovated Europe all the Member States which communist ideology had kept artificially separate.
Amsterdamtraktaten giver mulighed for fælles forsvar, men giver samtidig tilbageholdende medlemssta ter muUghed for ikke at deltage.
We will not accept that any other ideology, under whatever guise, should take over and erect a new Berlin Wall, and create two Europés.
Det er derfor glædeligt, at Udvalget om Institutionelle Spørgsmål klart anbefaler en ratificering af traktaten i EU's 15 medlemsstater.
It is therefore gratifying that the Committee on Institutional Affairs is clearly recommending a ratification of the treaty by the EU's 15 Member States.
At Amsterdamtraktaten ikke går helt så langt, som de mest udtalte føderalister i EU havde håbet på, har sin naturlige forklaring. Den folkelige forståelse for EU-føderalismen har måske aldrig haft en så svag stilling som nu.
Schlechter (PSE), in writing. - (FR) In spite of the fact that the European Parliament has institutionally guaranteed right of participation, nor any power of ratification, it is called on to give its opinion on what they call the Treaty of Amsterdam.
Folkene i Europa vil have.samarbejde, men ikke mod at skulle underordne sig EU's centralistiske, bureaukrati ske og utidssvarende bestemmelsessamling.
This is a treaty which has caused and will certainly continue to cause much ink to flow.
Men jeg er også enig med udvalget i, at man på Det Europæiske Råds møde i Amsterdam burde være nået længere i bestræbelserne på at nå til enighed om reformer af EU's institutioner, som ikke kan undværes, hvis udvidelsen med landene i Øst- og Centraleuropa skal give et tilfredsstillende resultat.
I am therefore voting yes to the report, even though I am opposed to the report's proposal to make the European Parliament's ratification of future treaty amendments obligatory, as well as being an. opponent of any attempt to change the principle that the governments of the Member States adopt amendments to the EU Treaty by unanimity.
EU har ingen mulighed for i et overskueligt tidsrum at opnå dette. Vi har stemt nej til betænkningen.
Rübig (PPE), in writing. - (DE) Treaty of Amsterdam, Amendment No 13: Text does not conform to the principle of Austrian neutrality.
Jeg stemmer altså ja til betænkningen, selvom jeg er imod betænkningens forslag om at gøre Europa-Parlamentets ratificering af fremtidige traktatændringer obligatorisk, ligesom jeg er modstander af ethvert forsøg på at ændre princippet om, at medlemsstaternes regeringer vedtager ændringer af EU's traktaten med enstemmighed.
When you remember that for more than two years, preparations for the intergovernmental conference in all European countries mobilized the best minds in the governments, parliaments, political parties, and other organizations, we are forced now to the conclusion that all these proposals and reactions have been a waste of time.
McCartin (PPE), skriftlig. - (EN) Jeg ønsker at gøre opmærksom på, at jeg har stemt for Vigo-betænkningen og Amsterdamtraktaten.
Souchet (I-EDN), in writing. - (FR) The main criteria to be used in the assessment of the Treaty of Amsterdam have been summarized in Amendment No 32 made by the I-EDN group.
Hr. formand, det er dybt beklageligt, at vi skal igennem hele ratifikationsprocessen, selv på grund af meget små fremskridt. Det vil blive vanskeligt at skabe begejstring for Amsterdamtraktaten i Irland, hvor en folkeafstemning er nødvendig.
Fhst criterion: respect for national democracy and constitutional rules of the Member States, within the framework of an association of sovereign states in which the national border is the one of greatest legitimacy for the democratic expression of the will of the people.
Souchet (I-EDN), skriftlig. - (FR) Hovedprincipperne, ud fra hvilke Amsterdamtraktaten bør vurderes, er beskrevet i ændringsforslag 32 fremlagt af gruppen I-EDN.
The bets laid on the future of Europe have only partially paid off, and in spite of all that, we've said yes to a treaty which does ducks the reforms essential to the proper operation of an enlarged European Union.
Der er fire i alt, og de lyder som følger:
Third criterion: the search of a more transparent Union.
Det mest beklagelige er dog, at det ikke lykkedes at rekonstruere beslutningsprocessen. InstitutioneUe reformer, som vi kalder det. Dette bør beskrives klart og tydeligt for befolkningen.
Fourth criterion: the need for enlargement, which requires at the institutional level the setting up of a variable geometry Europe based on differentiated cooperation.
Første kriterium: »respekten for de nationale demokratier og medlemsstaternes forfatningsbestemmelser inden for en sammenslutning af suveræne stater, hvor det nationale
I also believe that the Treaty of Amsterdam might have helped public opinion better understand how Europe was to be built, and bring it closer to the construction of a
Andet kriterium: »en styrkelse af de nationale parlamenters rolle i EU's beslutningsproces«.
The gulf between the words of the specialists and the words intended for the consumption of citizens has increased yet again.
Væddemålene om EU's fremtid har kun fungeret delvist, og vi har trods alt sagt ja til en traktat, der ikke realiserer de reformer, der er nødvendige for, at en udvidet Union kan fungere tilfredsstillende.
If, after all these criticisms, I am still prepared to vote in favour of this treaty, it is because the treaty confers a little bit more power on the European Parliament, thanks to which it will better play its role as a driving force in European construction.
Tredje kriterium: »arbejdet for en mere gennemsigtig Union«.
That would be inconsistent in the light of our criticism.
Fjerde kriterium: »den nødvendige udvidelse, der på institutionelt plan indebærer en fysisk planlægning af EU ud fra en variabel geometri, der bygger på et differentieret samarbejde«.
The least the European Parliament could have done, was to defer its judgment on Amsterdam, and to put the ' government leaders under pressure to force them to adopt a new treaty review before the millennium, at the summit on enlargement in December.
