Ligeledes med rette, hr. rådsformand, sagde De i Deres indlæg, at Maastricht-Traktaten indebærer, at Rådet og Parlamentet fremover må tale mere med hinanden og må nå frem til fælles aftaler.
But in addition, and I should like to make this my last point, we must refuse to yield to the protectionist pres sures being advocated today by certain circles.
For det andet må De ikke glemme, hr. rådsformand, at Europa-Parlamentet egentlig har en stor opgave, og det er at give EF et ægte parlament.
But in this Assembly there are cases of intellectual deception which we must denounce, particularly in our relations with Central and Eastern Europe.
At give EF et ægte parlamentet indebærer for os, at vi også må forlange af Rådet, at når det mødes som led i en logvivningsprocedure, så sker det i fuld offentlig hed.
Do people know that the Community's balance of trade with Central Europe was negative until the fall of the Berlin wall and that it is positive today?
Jeg håber, at De kan berolige os med, at Deres formand skab også på dette punkt vil indgyde en positiv hold ningsændring i Rådet.
We actually have to create between 25 and 30 million jobs between now and the end of the century if we want to avoid an economic and social tragedy, which may per haps also be a political tragedy.
(Bifald)
So what are we to do?
Tilbage bliver for mig, hr. rådsformand, kun at ønske Dem held og lykke og måske bede Dem indtrængende om en ting, og det er, at De under det belgiske formand skab ikke glemmer Deres europæiske overbevisning, som De så smukt har redegjort for i dag i Europa-Parlamentet, og det glæder os, og at De ikke sammen blander belgiske og europæiske interesser.
In this context we must first and above all, as you are right to emphasize, Mr President of the Council, confirm the Community's commitment to strike out on the road to economic and monetary union. That is the priority requirement today if we want to reestablish the confidence of businessmen, of financiers, of investors and of the citizens as a whole.
BOISSIERE (V). - (FR) Hr. rådsformand, næste valg til Europa-Parlamentet finder sted om elleve måneder. Det er snart.
DE GUCHT (LDR). - (NL) Mr President, Mr President of the Council, you rightly said that if the European Com munity wants to help to solve the Yugoslav crisis we must get beyond the stage of joint statements.
Det er en afgørende dato for EF's borgere, og det bør være en anledning til at gengive dem troen på Det Europæiske Fællesskab.
But the European Council in Copenhagen clearly showed the way in that respect.
På et mere demokratisk, mere socialt, mere føderalt Fællesskab, som står dem nærmere, som er mere miljøorienteret end Maastricht-Fællesskabet. skabet.
The European Community must make an impor tant contribution to protecting the safe havens for Muslims in Yugoslavia and in other words must also, at least to a considerable extent, provide the necessary troops.
Selvfølgelig kan det ikke gøre alt i løbet af et halvt år, men det kan gøre meget, og for mit vedkommende vil jeg fremhæve fire spørgsmål.
That implies first, as you reminded us, implementing the second phase of economic and monetary union and setting up the European Monetary Institute as from 1 January 1994.
Det første er fornyet opsving i fællesskabsdynamikken.
The financial needs of public authorities in Europe today are too high.
I 1985, da EF satte sig til mål at gennemføre det indre marked, var den internationale konjunktur ikke synderligt gunstig, men efter impuls fra Kommissionen, til hvilken jeg geme vil rette en særlig tak, lagdes der en virkelig fælles vilje for dagen.
In certain countries, including mine, the burden of debt represents more than 30% ofthat of the national authorities.
Efter seks års forløb i ilmarch nåede EF sit mål og gjorde et fremstød, der vil blive stående i historien.
There is no margin of manoeuvre and the snowball effect is hard to stop.
Medlemsstaterne ser imidlertid ikke ud til at være klar over, hvad der står på spil. Faktisk er der medlemsstater, der lader forstå, at den foreslåede dato for Europavalgets afholdelse ikke er endeligt fastsat.
You also rightly said in your speech, Mr President, that the Treaty of Maastricht implies that the Council and Parliament will in future have to consult one another more and reach joint agreements.
Hvad er det for noget?
But I think there are two things to remember here.
Og hvad med den nye fordeling af antallet af medlemmer i Europa-Parlamentet?
First, that the balance of power between Parliament and Council is basically altered by the Treaty of Maastricht and that in a number of fields after the Treaty of Maastricht the European Parliament will have right of joint decisionmaking and a right of veto.
Man kan i det mindste sige, at medlemsstaterne ikke ser ud til at have travlt med at ratificere Edinburgh-beslutningen.
Secondly you must remember, Mr President, that this European Parliament actually has one great mission, and that is to give the European Community a genuine parliament.
Og hvad sker der med valgretten og valgbarheden for EF-borgere, der ikke er statsborgere i den medlemsstat, de bor i?
To give the European Community a genuine parliament implies for us that we must also demand that when the Council meets in the context of a legislative procedure it meets in public.
Og hvordan går det, hr. rådsformand, og nu henvender jeg mig endnu mere direkte til Dem, med indførelsen af en ensartet valgmetode allerede til Europavalget i 1994?
I think the Belgian Presidency must recognize that no agreement is possible with this European Parliament about transparency and democracy, which you had actually forgotten in your answer, if indeed the Council is not prepared in future to meet in public in the legislative process.
Men i de sidste to år har EF været i defensiven.
We must not avoid tackling the fence just because it is a difficult one.
I defensiven over for arbejdsløsheden, omvæltningerne i verden og selv over for de stridigheder, der finder sted lige uden for dets dør, over for handelspres udefra og over for dets egen offentlige opinion. Endnu for blot nogle
The reduction of public deficits, in spite of the enormous difficulties which that represents in the present circumstances, is something that we have to go through to free savings for investment and exert pressure
BOISSIERE kraft, dvs. efter inflationen, men i stigende grad efter væksten, dens evne til at skabe beskæftigelse og til at opretholde den sociale samhørighed, der danner grundlaget for den nationale konsensus.
It remains for me, Mr President, to wish you godspeed and perhaps to ask you one thing, namely during the Belgian Presidency not to forget your European convictions which you have so eloquently voiced before the European Parliament today, and which we welcome, and not to confuse Belgian and European interests.
om at vedtage en ensartet valgmetode i overensstemmelse med Europa-Parlamentets forslag inden foren tidsfrist, som kategorisk tillader gennemførelse deraf allerede i 1994.
BOISSIERE (V). - (FR) Mr President of the Council, the next election for Members of the European Parliament is to take place in eleven months' time - not far hence.
Dette ændringsforslag indarbejdedes i beslutningen med et flertal på næsten 90 %.
That must be a great rendez-vous for European citizens, an occasion to give them back their hope in Europe, in a more democratic, more social, more federal Europe, which is closer to them and more environment-friendly than that of Maastricht.
Det var den 10. marts i år, men det blev ikke drøftet i København.
Of course it cannot do everything in a brief half year, but it can do much, and for myself I shall pick out four questions.
Hvad venter Rådet på for at reagere på de folkevalgte repræsentanters appel?
The first is the recovery of Community vitality.
Topmålet af foragt nås af den britiske regering, der end ikke vil indføre forholdstalsvalg for de seks yderligere medlemmers vedkommende.
In six years, by forced marches, the Community has achieved its goal and has made a leap which will go down in history.
Hr. rådsformand Jeg forlader ikke salen, før jeg har hørt Deres svar på sidste spørgsmål.
Yet, Mr President of the Council, the Member States do not seem very much aware what is at stake.
Millioner af vælgere venter ligeledes på dette svar.
And what will be the position with regard to the new division of seats in the European Parliament?
EMS og dette systems funktionsvilkår bør fuldstændigt lægges om, hvis man vil bevare det indre markeds resultater. Prioriteringen bør - som de foregående talere allerede har sagt - lægges på beskæftigelsen, uanset om der er tale om lønnet beskæftigelse eller selvstændig virksomhed, landbrug eller håndværk.
The least that can be said is that the Member States do not seem to be in a hurry to ratify the Edinburgh decision.
Det ser ud til, at sandhedens time er oprundet: Enten viser Fællesskabet sig i stand til at besinde sig ved at frembyde reelle udsigter til en delt vækst, der ikke lader millioner af mennesker i stikken, eller det udsætter sig for en social eksplosion, der fører til dets opløsning, som magiske taler ikke kan bortmane.
Above all, what will be the position, Mr President of the Council, and here I am addressing you even more directly, with implementing a uniform electoral procedure as from the 1994 European elections?
FORSÆDE: Nicole FONTAINE Næstformand
Doubt has arisen and has been paralysing the Community for two years.
Det er den udfordring, som Rådet skal tage imod, og dermed, hr. rådsformand, ønsker vi Dem held og lykke.
We expect your presidency to be the catalyst for recapturing the Europeans' confidence in their Community.
PASTY (RDE). - (FR) Fra formand, kære kolleger, hr. rådsformand, det halvår, der begynder, bliver af afgørende betydning for Fællesskabets fremtid.
My second point was about enlargement. I shall not dwell on this, Mr President, since you have partially reassured us, but we cannot be too careful in this field.
ALAVANOS (CG). - (GR) Fru formand, jeg vil gerne fremsætte nogle ganske korte bemærkninger i det ene minut, jeg har til rådighed. For det første gav rådsformanden os ikke bare en telefonbog, men selve det belgiske formandskabs ånd, og dette er en positiv ting.
In its resolution on this subject adopted on 10 March last, the European Parliament literally made a formal appeal to the Council to adopt a uniform electoral procedure in accordance with the European Parliament's draft within a period which would permit its mandatory implementation as from 1994.
Imidlertid vil jeg geme bede ham i sit næste indlæg kommentere nogle spørgsmål, som han ikke havde tid til at kommentere før.
That was on 10 March last, and you did not discuss it at Copenhagen.
Jeg tænker her på det cypriotiske spørgsmål.
What is the Council waiting for to respond to this call from the people's elected representatives?
Vi har udtalelsen fra Kommissionen, vi har den tyrkiske parts sabotage af forhandlingerne i FN-regi, og jeg vil geme vide, hvilke initiativer det belgiske formandskab vil tage.
The British Government reaches the acme of disdain in even refusing to introduce proportional representation for the six additional seats.
I tilknytning hertil taler vi for det andet om mindretallenes rettigheder.
Mr President of the Council, I shall not leave this hémicycle without hearing your answer to that last question.
Der er det jugoslaviske drama og også den kurdiske befolknings drama.
Millions of electors are waiting for it too.
Ikke blot står Fællesskabet i stampe, men det har måske aldrig været så truet af sprængning.
IN THE CHAIR: MRS FONTAINE Vice-President
Og jeg tror, vi befinder os på præcis det samme sted, hvor vi var for to år siden, før anerkendelserne, men med tusinder dræbte og hundrede tusinder flygtninge i et drama, der rammer hele befolkninger.
I am afraid that this excellent principle may serve as a pretext for an insidious renationalization of Community policies.
Er det rimeligt at forlange af dem, at de skal nedsætte deres produktionsomkostninger med 20 % for at forblive konkurrencedygtige?
Eurocracy is a good whipping-boy when one or more states reject a harmonization or a Community effort which they find inconvenient.
I øvrigt drager devalueringen af de nævnte valutaer selve formålet med landbrugspolitikken i tvivl, idet det var dens formål ved prisnedsættelser at muliggøre en generobring af foder stofmarkedet.
We expect you to be the watch-dog against this risk of drifting which, passed off as a rebalancing of the levels of intervention, might imperceptibly but very effectively, chip away at the Community heritage.
GRUND (NI). - (DE) Fru formand, mine herrer formænd, mine damer og herrer, Belgiens udenrigsminister, Willy Claes, har overtaget rådsformandskabet i det tvivlsomme skær af mange vanskeligt definerbare forhold i medlems staterne.
PASTY (RDE). - (FR) Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, this new half year will have a decisive importance for the Community's future.
Den skade, der må forventes inden for landbrugssektoren i de lande, der ikke har devalueret, kan kun forværre samme landes i forvejen anselige beskæftigelsesvanskeligheder.
That situation can not be borne any longer, not only because it deprives the Community of tools needed for the full operation of the single market - and particularly its social aspect - but because it prejudices the Community's institutional reliability and shows that the Council too often side-steps sensitive problems and prefers a consensus of inertia to the courage of a balanced compromise.
De spændinger, der på ny viser sig inden for Det Europæiske Monetære System, burde dog ellers åbne de ansvarlige EF-politikeres øjne.
I should like your assurance that on this point too your presidency will bring in a positive change of attitude on the Council's part.
Vil den tyske Forfatningsdomstol i sidste sekund gribe ind i den statslige magtselvafgivelses mekanik for at bane vejen for de undertrykte demokratiske grundlæggende rettigheder ved at anordne afholdelse i Tyskland af en folkeafstemning om Maastricht-Traktaten?
The realization of the great internal market, which was the main ambition of the Single Act and which has effective ly been mobilizing European energies for five years, is threatened today by the monetary disorders which the institutions are powerless to halt and by the inexorable increase in unemployment which makes nonsense of the speeches we continue to make about social cohesion.
Alt dette er muligt og vil ske under det belgiske formandskab for Rådet.
Will people agree at last to look facts in the face, to
GRUND
PASTY
1994 med fastsættelse af hjemstedet for forløberen til en senere centralbank som givet.
EC/Turkey relations, and here I would like to know what are the Belgian Presidency's concerns and intentions.
For øvrigt har Miljøagenturet heller intet fast hjemsted, og EUROPOL er fremdeles en fiktion, selv om man - på hasardspillignende vis -vedblivende kræver afvikling af den for sikkerheden helt nødvendige kontrol ved vestgrænseme og i lufthavnene.
recognize that no internal market can keep on resisting the persistence of monetary fluctuations of the extent we had last autumn, which led to depreciation by some 20% of certain Community currencies as compared with others?
Men det største problem må ligge i bekæmpelsen af den stigende arbejdsløshed.
Thirdly, as for Yugoslavia, I think the problem does not rest solely in the institutional framework of the policy but also in the policy's content.
Hertil har rådsformanden ganske vist fremført koncepter, men ingenlunde ført bevis for deres effektivitet. At skaffe små tyve millioner arbejdsløse bort fra gaderne ligner cirklens kvadratur.
I believe we are at the same point we would have been two years ago, before all the recognitions, except that in the meantime thousands have died and hundreds of thousands have been made refugees, and entire peoples are undergoing a crisis.
Netop under disse auspicier virker tilnærmelse af sociallovgivningerne i betragtning af den fortsat bestående produktivitetsforskel inden for industrien som et hasardspil med hele banken som indsats!
From that point of view I would like to know what the Belgian Presidency can contribute towards strengthening the Geneva procedures, which seem to be moving along lines far more realistic than previous plans.
Derfor også min appel til det belgiske formandskab: Gør den europæiske ombudsmands funktion troværdig, giv ham de beføjelser, som han har brug for for behørigt at kunne udfylde sin opgave, lad os dog ikke skabe det indtryk, at ombudsmanden skal placeres under visse kommissionsembedsmænd, der skal gennemse alle dokumenter. Vil man stække hans vinger, inden han begynder at flyve?
First of all the operation of the common agricultural policy is very severely affected, with particularly serious effects as regards French producers of fruit and vegetables, wine and sheepmeat, who are the victims of the competitive devaluations of the pound sterling, the Irish punt and the peseta.
Lad os standse den småt skårne disput om kun at give ham indsigt i amputerede dokumenter.
Is it reasonable to ask them to bring their production costs down by 20% to stay in the running?
Giv ombudsmanden den fornødne tillid, så befolkningen også på denne måde genvinder den nødvendige tro på Europa.
Moreover, the devaluations of those currencies call in question once more the very objectives of the reform of the CAP, which aimed, by lowering prices, to win back the market in animal feed.
Man må håbe, at den nye franske regerings beslutsomme foranstaltninger mod masseindvandringen og den skær pede tyske asyllovgivning i betragtning af de uagtsomt åbne grænser i Vesteuropa vil bidrage til en fælles politik til tæmning af dette onde.
GRUND (NI). - (DE) Madam President, President-in-Office, ladies and gentlemen, Belgium's Foreign Minister, Willy Claes, has taken over the Council Presidency against a background of numerous imponderables in the Member States of the European Community.
På dette punkt burde det belgiske rådsformandskab konsekvent fremme det internationale samarbejde.
His aims and hopes do not correspond, at least politically and institutionally, to the wishes of those who criticize a federal-type Union.
På dette stade af forhandlingen vil jeg gerne endnu en gang fremhæve et afgørende punkt.
At the same time the Commission, by trade concessions which it is hard to understand, is extending the opportunities for the impor tation into the Community of cereal substitutes.
Vi har kendelige problemer - og de bliver ikke mindre - inden for områderne udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik, indenrigspolitik og arbejdsløshed, og vor økonomiske udvikling lider under almindelige strukturproblemer.
The damage which may be envisaged for the agricultural sector in countries where the currency has not been devalued can only accentuate the already considerable employment difficulties in those countries.
Hvis vi vil løse disse vanskelige problemer, har vi ubetinget brag for beslutnings- og handledygtige institutioner i Fælles skabet.
Today more than ever the value of a currency is to be evaluated not only in terms of purchasing power, that is, in terms of inflation, but more and more in terms of growth, the ability to create jobs and to maintain social cohesion which forms the basis of national consensus.
GALLE (PSE). - (NL) Fru formand, hr. rådsformand, kære kolleger, efter den danske folkeafstemning den 18. maj er ratifikationen af Maastricht-Traktaten nået inden for rækkevidde.
Will the German Federal Constitutional Court at the eleventh hour throw a spanner in the works of State self-dissolution, open the way for suppressed democratic basic rights and order a referendum on Maastricht in Germany?
Belgien får den blytunge opgave at begynde med gennemførelsen.
All bets are open under Belgium's presidency.
Det belgiske formandskab kom mer også præcist rettidigt, thi efter to sovende formand skaber har det europæiske skib atter brug for en god kaptajn, der kan lodse den europæiske integrationsproces gennem de voldsomme storme.
Furthermore, a seat has still not been fixed for the Environment Agency, while EURO-POL is still only a fiction even though - as if we were playing a game of chance - calls are constantly made for the controls that are so vital to security at western borders and airports to be dismantled.
Det er os alle bekendt, at institutionerne ikke kan erstatte den politiske vilje til problememes løsning.
We need to iron out the EMS and its conditions of operation completely if we want to preserve what we have achieved in the single market.
Når problemerne imidlertid er erkendt, analysen sket og den politiske vilje til at nå frem til en løsning er for hånden, kan vi konkret kun hjælpe vore medborgere, hvis vi også er beslutnings- og handledygtige.
Priority must be given to employment - as speakers before me have already said - whether we are thinking of wage-earning or self-employment, of agricultural or small-scale industrial work.
Ja, vi siger de samme ting igen og igen, hr. rådsformand.
To get 20 million of the jobless off the streets is rather like squaring the circle.
Vi konstaterer, at hele den europæiske integrationsproces forbliver pantsat, så længe det sociale Europa ikke gennemføres.
Against this background a harmonization of social legislation, given the persisting productivity differentials in industry, looks like an incredible gamble!
Det er vor opgave at sørge for, at det økonomiske aspekt ved enheden suppleres af et socialt aspekt.
That is the challenge the Council must meet and for which, Mr President-in-Office, we wish you good luck.
Selv om det ikke er rådsformandskabet, der skal skrive den, har det vel mulighed for at påvirke Kommissionen i den grad, at den forelægger den så hurtigt som muligt. Det, vi har brug for, er en hvidbog som den fra 1985 om det fælles marked, der indeholder en liste over konkrete foranstaltninger, en dagsorden, der nøje skal overholdes, og det passende retsgrundlag.
It is to be hoped that the measures decided by the new French Government to prevent mass immigration and the stricter German asylum laws in the face of lax open borders in Western Europe, will contribute to a common policy and the control of this abuse.
På baggrund af den nuværende recession er det klart for os, at den europæiske integration uden et anstændigt socialt aspekt ikke er beskåret et langt liv.
The Belgian Presidency should resolutely promote inter-govemmental cooperation.
I denne forbindelse drejer det sig efter min opfattelse helt centralt og primært om institutionerne.
ALAVANOS (CG). - (GR) Madam President, I would like to make a few brief comments in the one minute or so at my disposal.
Hvad vil det så sige rent konkret? For det første skal vi meget hurtigt frem til, at Europa-Parlamentet og Rådet på lige fod deltager i EF's lovgivning i tokammersystemets forstand.
First, the President of the Council did not present us with a telephone directory but summarized the spirit of the Belgian Presidency, and that is a positive feature, Yet, in his next speech I would like his comments on various matters he had no time to deal with, in particular the Cypms problem.
For det andet skal vi på ny gennemtænke og fastsætte Kommissionens opgaver og struktur med henblik på større regeringsansvar. Derved skal vi yderligere styrke Kommissionens handleevne.
We have the Commission's expressed opinion, we have complete stagnation of the UN talks owing to Turkey's attitude, and I would like to hear what initiatives the Belgian Presidency intends to adopt in that context.
For det andet vil jeg lige komme ind på det demokratiske underskud i Europa.
Belgium has the heavy task of making a start on its implementation.
For det tredje skal vi indgående drøfte Rådets arbejdsform.
Secondly, and in connection with the above, we talk about minority rights.
Erfaringen har nemlig lært os en ting, hr. rådsformand: De vigtige reformer, der ikke kan gennemføres med tolv medlemsstater, kan man - hvis det skal ske med enstemmighed - endnu mindre gennemføre med seksten.
We declare that the whole European integration process remains mortgaged as long as social Europe is not brought into being.
