Hvis han er enig i dette, kunne vi så få en forsikring fra kommissær Vanni d'Archirafì om, at han vil videre bringe denne beslutning til de to kommissærer, og at vi får denne tilbundsgående debat næste uge i Bruxelles, hvor vi kan udveksle synspunkter med de kommissærer, der er ansvarlige for dette emne?
The economic situation has improved slightly but afterwards, inevitably, the cycle will recur and we have therefore to meet this objective; the effort and the pressure must be maintained and this, I believe, underlies the current decision.
von Wogau (PPE). - (DE) Hr. formand, jeg har allerede været i forbindelse med hr. Bangemann vedrørende denne sag. Jeg synes, at situationen er overordentlig problematisk.
Public opinion is particularly anxious about the latest developments in the border region between Iraq and Kuwait and the mobilization of mainly US and UK troops following the threatening deployment of troops by Iraq and the statements by Mr Clinton.
Det er derfor af stor betydning, at vi har mulighed for at diskutere denne sag intensivt i Det Økonomiske Udvalg, og derfor understøtter jeg naturlig vis kollegerne Billinghams og Donnellys forslag og foreslår, at vi taler udførligt om sagen på det næste møde
The risk of rekindling the war in the region and the constant presence of US-led international troops in more and more regions throughout the world threaten to totally undermine current international principles of respect for the independence and sovereignty of states and the principle of non-intervention in the internal affairs of third countries.
Hvad derefter angår selve spørgsmålet, vil jeg kun sige, at vi har en strategi og en taktik: markedet har på produktionsplanet ikke reageret, som man ventede.
As far as the content of the decision itself is concerned, what I can tell you is that the most socially sensitive element has been retained, as I have already said.
Mener Rådet, at disse principper fra FN's statutter 50 år efter denne organisations grundlæggelse stadig er gældende og bør styrkes, og at FN ikke bør bruges til at fremme medlemsstaters egoistiske planer eller drive befolkninger ud i armod, sådan som det er sket med den irakiske befolkning, hvor embargoen, der har vist sig virkningsløs som pressionsmiddel over for de irakiske myndigheder, har været årsag til over en million dødsfald, hvoraf 30% har ramt umyndige børn?
Does the Council consider that these principles enshrined in the UN Charter continue to apply and should be strengthened 50 years after its foundation and that the UN should not be used to further the self-interests of its member states or to reduce people to a state of destitution, as in the case of the Iraqi people who have suffered more than one million deaths, 30% of whom were children, even though the embargo has proved to be ineffective as a means of exerting pressure on the Iraqi authorities?
På det ydre plan, hvad angår den statistiske overvågning, opretholdes den a priori; den a posteriori har der allerede tidligere været problemer med at gennemføre.
Seiler-Albring. - (DE) I would refer the honourable Member to the answer I have just given.
Man kan så erklære, at den ophæves, men i virkeligheden har den ikke fungeret.
If Iraq fulfils the conditions laid down by the Security Council, then there is no doubt whatsoever that action can be taken very rapidly.
Hvad angår Den Tjekkiske og Den Slovenske Republik var stålimporten, som De ved, minimal.
The Iraqi government is to blame for the privations being suffered by many Iraqis and many countries in the region, not the sanctions the UN has imposed in line with the Security Council's decisions.
Denne forbindelse er etableret først og fremmest for at række en hånd til disse lande, som altid har givet anledning til problemer med importen og importpriserne.
Iraq can change the situation at any time, and we hope it will do so as speedily as possible, above all in the interests of its suffering people, its women, children and old people.
Seiler-Albring, formand for Rådet. - (DE) Den Europæiske Union fortsætter med at overholde principperne i De Forenede Nationers Pagt, herunder princippet om anerkendelse af medlemmernes territoriale ukrænkelighed og politiske uafhængighed.
Seiler-Albring, President-in-Office of the Council. -(DE) The European Union remains bound by the principles of the United Nations Charter, including the territorial integrity and political independence of its members.
Dette engagement for De Forenede Nationer som central fredsvogter for menneskeheden er blevet understreget af Forbundsrepublikken Tysk lands udenrigsminister i en tale, han holdt på Den Europæiske Unions vegne for De Forenede Nationers generalforsamling den 27. september 1994.
Germany's Foreign Minister emphasized this commit ment to the United Nations as the principal protector of humanity in a speech he made on behalf of the European Union to the UN General Assembly on 27 September 1994.
Hvad endelig angår foranstaltningerne til intern stabilisering og kvartalsoversigterne over produktionen, vil det faktisk være Kommissionens intention at standse dem og konstatere, at rammeaftalerne, der blev fornyet for tre måneder ad gangen, er udløbet: i realiteten er der ingen anmodninger om gennemførelse fra industriens side.
von Habsburg (PPE). - (DE) Should we not perhaps also expressly point out that, even without the oil shipments, the UN has authorized so that food can be purchased, Iraq still has such high foreign currency reserves that it could in fact feed its people, if Saddam Hussein and his criminal followers so wished?
Rådsformanden mindede her desuden om, at De Forene de Nationer i henhold til De Forenede Nationers Pagt ved trusler mod eller brud på freden og angrebshandlinger kan træffe bestemte forholdsregler.
In that same speech, the Council President also pointed out that the UN Charter confers upon the United Nations the right to take certain measures in the event of threats to the peace, breaches of the peace or acts of aggression.
I denne sammenhæng har Sikkerhedsrådet indført en række sanktioner efter Iraks invasion af Kuwait.
Accordingly, the Security Council decreed a number of sanctions to be imposed following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.
Den Europæiske Union har gentagne gange appelleret til Irak, senest i sit Aidemémoire af 27. september 1994 til De Forenede Nationers generalforsamling, om at opfylde sine forpligtelser i henhold til alle relevante resolutioner fra Sikkerhedsrådet. det.
The European Union has repeatedly called upon Iraq, most recently in a aide-mémoire of 27 September 1994 to the UN General Assembly, to fulfil the obligations arising from all relevant Security Council resolutions. tions.
Formanden. - Jeg har modtaget fire beslutningsforslag, fremsat i overensstemmelse med artikel 37, stk. 2, i forretningsordenen. (')
Sakellariou (PSE). - (DE) During the Gulf war, this House repeatedly condemned the aggressor and expressed its support for the international forces.
(Mødet udsat kl. 19.50 og genoptaget kl. 21.00)
Has any progress been made in this respect?
Hvad angår det irakiske folks lidelser, skal årsagen hertil ikke søges hos De Forenede Nationer.
The United Nations cannot be blamed for the suffering of the Iraqi people.
Medicinleverancer haraldrig været omfattet af FN's sanktioner, og fødevarer har siden vedtagelsen af resolution 687 i april 1991 ligeledes været undtaget. Den irakiske regering kunne forbedre livsvilkårene for landets befolkning.
UN sanctions have never applied to medical supplies, and food has also been exempted since the adoption of Resolution 687 in April 1991.
Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er første del af spørgetiden (B4-0125/94).
Seiler-Albring. - (DE) There is no question that both the Council and the European Parliament must stand firm on this point and press for democracy to be introduced in all states in the region.
Spørgsmål til Rådet Formanden. - Spørgsmål nr. 1 af Theonas (H-0573/94):
However - without wishing to ignore your question - I believe that the main focus of our concern and thoughts at present must be Iraq, which has it in its power to help ensure that peace and democracy prevail in all countries of the region.
Ifølge generalsekretæren for De Forenede Nationers vurdering kunne mere end 930 mio US-dollar stilles til rådighed for hjælpeprogrammer, hvis Irak indvilgede i at efterleve de to resolutioner.
The UN Secretary-General has estimated that over US$ 930 million could be made available for aid pro grammes if Iraq agreed to implement these two resolutions.
Den Europæiske Union beklager, at den irakiske regering ikke gør dette, hvorved den bekræfter sin ligegyldighed over for sit eget folk.
The European Union regrets that, by refusing to do so, the Iraqi Government is providing unambiguous proof of its indifference to the fate of its own people.
Om: Forværring af forbindelserne mellem Irak og Kuwait
Subject: Obstructions to entering northern Iraq at the Turkish border crossing of Habur
Den Europæiske Union mener ikke, at sanktionerne mod Irak ikke havde nogen effekt.
The European Union is not of the opinion that the sanctions against Iraq have had no effect.
På grund af den vedvarende pression har Irak endelig samarbejdet med inspektørerne fra De Forenede Nationers særlige kommission, således at faren for, at Irak igen vil kunne udbygge sit arsenal af masseødelæggelsesvåben, er blevet formindsket.
It was due to the constant pressure on Iraq that its authorities finally agreed to cooperate with the inspectors from the UN Special Commission, thus reducing the danger of Iraq being able to rebuild its arsenal of weapons of mass destruction.
Det internationale samfund følger med særlig bekymring den seneste udvikling i grænseområdet mellem Irak og Kuwait, mobiliseringen af navnlig amerikanske og britiske troppeenheder efter truende irakiske troppebevægelser, og Clintons udtalelser.
Is the Council aware that Turkey is, at least at times, refusing to allow foreign politicians, members of aid organizations and foreign journalists to enter nor thern Iraq via the (only) border crossing at Habur, despite the presentation of a valid Iraqi visa and written notice being given to the Turkish Ministry for Foreign Affairs in Ankara?
Theonas (GUE). - (EL) Jeg mener, at Rådet burde udvise større følsomhed over for den kendsgerning, at disse foranstaltninger har været årsag til en million dødsfald i Irak.
Theonas (GUE). - (EL) I think the Council ought to show greater sensitivity towards the fact that these measures have led to a million deaths in Iraq.
Samtidig krænkes De Forenede Nationers statutter også i en række andre områder i verden, og selv om man godt kan søge og finde begrundelser herfor, er det ikke desto mindre en kendsgerning, at statemes uafhængighed
Yet, the principles of the Constitutional Charter of the United Nations are being violated in many other parts of the world. One can always seek and find excuses, but the reality is that the independence of states is being violated, as in Haiti, Somalia, and many other parts of the world.
Agter Rådet at tage egnede skridt over for Tyrkiet, så at der sikres en uhindret passage af grænseovergangsstedet Habur?
Crowley (RDE). - Madam President, on a point of order. My colleagues from Ireland in the RDE Group have been unavoidably detained at another meeting.
Rådet må komme med et svar på dette spørgsmål, et svar på, hvad der sker, når FN's statutter krænkes.
Is it possible that I can take their questions for them?
Fra tyrkisk side blev der forsikret om, at transit af personer og gods i direkte forbindelse med de humanitære hjælpeprojekter i Nordirak, vil kunne ske uden hindringer.
The Turkish authorities have given their assurance of free, unobstructed passage for persons and goods directly connected with humanitarian aid projects in northern Iraq.
Med hensyn til andre rejser af ikke akkrediterede journalister og parlamentsmedlemmer for eksempel, for beholder den tyrkiske regering de relevante tilladelser.
However, the government reserves the right to withhold authorization for other journeys by unaccredited journalists and MPs, for example. ple.
Seiler-Albring. - (DE) Jeg henviser igen til mit svar. Hvis Irak efterkommer De Forenede Nationers Sikkerhedsråds resolutioner, er der ingen tvivl om, at der kan handles meget hurtigt. Skylden for mange irakeres og mange landes lidelser i denne region ligger hos den irakiske regering og skyldes ikke de sanktioner, som De Forenede Nationer har indført på grundlag af Sikkerhedsrådets beslutninger.
President. - Our Rules of Procedure are very strict, Mr Crowley, and the Rule on answers to questions says that questions may be answered only if the questioner is present or - and this is the problem here - if he has notified the President in writing, before Question Time begins, of the name of his substitute.
Irak har til enhver tid mulighed for at ændre det, og vi håber, at det også gøres så hurtigt som muligt af hensyn til dem, der lider - først og fremmest kvinder, børn og gamle.
Question No 3 by Mr Vassilis Ephremidis (H-0571/94) Subject: The convening of a Balkan conference
Sakellariou (PSE). - (DE) Fru formand, jeg er meget forundret over, at Rådet ikke kender til denne hændelse, idet der faktisk var tale om tyske journalister.
Sakellariou (PSE). - (DE) Madam President, I am very surprised to hear that the Council is not aware of the incident to which I am alluding, particularly as German journalists were involved.
Det var et ARD-team, der var akkrediteret i Tyrkiet, men som blev nægtet indrejse i Irak, selv om det havde visa og uden rigsministeriets tilladelse til at rejse ind i Irak.
It was an ARD television crew, accredited in Turkey, that was unable to enter Iraq, even though they had visas and an assurance from the Foreign Ministry that they would be allowed to enter Iraq.
Jeg er forbavset over, at Rådet i dette tilfælde intet har foretaget sig, fordi denne fremgangsmåde virkeligt tilsidesætter enhver international konvention.
I am surprised that the Council has not taken any steps in this matter, because such action contravenes all international conventions.
For få dage siden, den 24.10. for at være helt nøjagtig, blev også et andet ARD-team holdt tilbage i den nordøstlige del af Tyrkiet.
A few days ago, on 24 October to be precise, a second ARD television crew was also detained and placed under arrest in northeastern Turkey.
Kan De måske sige noget om dette?
Could you perhaps say something about that?
Endnu et spørgsmål, fru formand: Er det rigtigt, at Irak stadig ophober store reserver for at købe nye våben; her tænker jeg specielt på den krise, som nu ryster de centralasiatiske lande i det tidligere Sovjetunionen?
On 29 September 1994 two members of the Troika, Mr Kinkel and Mr Juppé, wrote to the Greek Govern ment proposing a meeting of the Troika to discuss the question of Greece's relations with its neighbours -Albania, Skopje and Turkey. The Greek Government agreed to this proposal.
Seiler-Albring. - (DE) Hr. Sakellariou, som jeg sagde, har Rådet ikke beskæftiget sig med emnet.
Seiler-Albring. - (DE) Mr Sakellariou, I have said that the Council has not considered this matter.
Men jeg vil geme bede om Deres samtykke til, at vi i det tyske formandskab undersøger den seneste hændelse via den tyske ambassade og derefter informerer Dem så hurtigt som muligt.
But I hope you will agree to the German presidency's seeking clarification through the German Embassy on the other incident you have just mentioned.
Seiler-Albring. - (DE) Til det første spørgsmål kan jeg kun sige, at jeg deler Deres mening.
It will then inform you of the outcome as soon as possible.
Sakellariou (PSE). - Fru formand, under Golfkrigen fordømte dette parlament gentagne gange aggressoren og støttede de internationale styrker, men det krævede sam tidig, at også Kuwait nu skal indføre demokratiske forhold, efter at det internationale samfund har brugt alle disse mange kræfter.
Does the Council of Foreign Ministers not agree that, in view of the close interdependence of the Balkan countries and the dangers of war spreading through out the Balkans, initiatives of this kind should form part of a wider perspective for safeguarding peace and security in the region, based on the principle of the inviolability of borders, full guarantees for the rights of minorities and the development of economic and technical cooperation among the Balkan states on the basis of equality and mutual benefit?
Seiler-Albring. - (DE) Det er helt klart, at Rådet og Europa-Parlamentet skal holde fast og kræve, at der indtræder demokratiske forhold i regionens stater.
Seiler-Albring, President-in-Office of the Council. -(DE) The Council has had several opportunities to explain to Parliament the main objectives of the Union's policy towards the countries in the region referred to by the honourable Member.
Jeg tror imidlertid, at det er særligt vigtigt - og jeg vil ikke aflede fra Deres spørgsmål - at hovedmålet for vore øjeblikkelige bekymringer og overvejelser er Irak, som er bestemmende for, om der kan blive fred og demokrati i denne regions stater.
These objectives consist largely in achieving political stability, supporting democracy and contributing to socioeconomic progress, in line with the principles mentioned by the honourable Member, with which the Council concurs, and in accordance with the United Nations Charter and the principles of the CSCE.
Ephremidis (GUE). - (EL) Jeg vil gerne stille et spørgsmål, da rådsformandens svar på det andet spørgsmål overraskede mig.
Ephremidis (GUE). - (EL) I want to ask a question, because the Council representative's answer to the second question surprised me.
Hun sagde, at »der vil blive grebet til handling via den tyske ambassade, og der vil blive informeret, osv.« Her stiller vi ikke spørgsmål til regeringerne og til ambassaderne, vi stiller spørgsmål til Rådet og kræver svar fra Rådet.
She said that 'through the German Embassy action will be taken, information will be obtained, etc.'. But we here do not put questions to governments, to Embassies, but to the Council, and we want answers from the Council.
Men det er overraskende - og her kommer mit spørgsmål - at hun kan sige, at Rådet ikke har beskæftiget sig med dette og ikke er informeret.
To say - and here is my question - that the Council has not looked into the matter, or that it is not aware of it, is surprising.
Mit spørgsmål lyder: Er Rådet slet ikke bekendt med, hvad Tyrkiet foretager sig i det område, der grænser op til Irak, og som bevogtes meter for meter, fra luften og fra havet og med forskellige andre midler?
My question is: can things really be happening in Turkey in an area bordering Iraq that is under inch-by-inch surveillance by air, sea and other means, without the Council knowing?
Er Rådet ikke klar over, hvad der er foregået ved dette grænseovergangssted, hvorledes også udenlandske borgere brutalt er blevet nægtet passage osv.?
Does the Council not know what has been happening there, how barbarously the passage through the area even of foreign representatives is being impeded, etc.?
Derfor vil jeg geme spørge, om Rådet lider af tunghørhed og svagtsynethed, når det drejer sig om Tyrkiet?
On that point I want to ask whether the Council is hard of hearing or has defective vision when the issue relates to Turkey?
Jeg vil gerne bede om et klart svar, og det er jeg ikke alene om, jeg tror hele Parlamentet kræver det.
I would like a clear answer, not just for myself, but because I think Parliament deserves one.
Om: Hindringer ved passage af den tyrkiske grænseovergang Habur og indrejse i det nordlige Irak
The initiative undertaken by Mr Kinkel and Mr Juppé, to which the honourable Member refers, was conceived in this spirit, and what we now have to do is carry out this initiative and learn all possible lessons from it before other proposals designed to ensure or restore security, peace and stability in the region are examined.
Vi vil bestræbe os på at indhente disse informationer så hurtigt som muligt.
We will endeavour to obtain this information as quickly as possible.
Har Rådet kendskab til, at Tyrkiet i det mindste midlertidigt nægter udenlandske politikere, med lemmer af hjælpeorganisationer og udenlandske journalister at rejse ind i det nordlige Irak via det (eneste) grænseovergangssted Habur, selv om de pågældende forelægger et gyldigt irakisk pas og skriftligt har underrettet det tyrkiske udenrigsministerium i Ankara?
Now to answer the question put by the Greek Member: the Council has not considered this subject. But, again speaking as a member of the German Government, I can say that we do know that applicants who are not working on aid projects in Iraq, staff of Operation Kuwait Comfort for example, have not been prevented from crossing the border.
Tilbage til spørgsmålet fra det græske parlamentsmedlem.
Holders of Iraqi passports, including residents in others countries, are free to enter northern Iraq, as are foreign journalists accredited in Turkey.
Rådet har ikke beskæftiget sig med dette emne.
That is the information that we, the German Government, have been given.
Men jeg kan sige - og nu igen som medlem af den tyske forbundsregering - at vi ved, at ansøgere, som ikke arbejder på hjælpeprojekter i Irak, for eksempel medar-
We will check this again in connection with Mr Sakellariou's question, and then, if you so wish, Mr Ephremidis, inform you accordingly.
Vedrørende spørgsmålet fra det ærede medlem Sakellariou vil vi endnu en gang undersøge sagen, og såfremt det ærede medlem ønsker det, give Dem alle relevante informatio ner.
I insist on that point in my second question to the Council's representative.
gere initiativer, omsider vil se i øjnene, at situationen på Balkan er speciel, og at alle de metoder, der er forsøgt indtil nu, blot har forværret denne situation.
Seiler-Albring. - (DE) The Council feels that, in view of the state of the international peace efforts - of which there are many - efforts such as the regional conference proposed by the honourable Member are unnecessary.
Dette vil også være mit andet spørgsmål til Rådets formand.
Nevertheless, any regional contribution to resolving the crises in the Balkans merits careful consideration.
Crowley (RDE). - (EN) Fru formand, til forretningsordenen.
terms of the Maastricht Treaty and convergence.
Mine irske kolleger i RDE-Gruppen er blevet opholdt af et andet møde, som de ikke har kunnet forlade.
I find it quite astonishing that the representatives of the govern ments of all the Member States of the European Union seem indifferent to the plight of the citizens at the very lowest end of the scale.
Er der mulighed for, at jeg kan overtage deres spørgsmål?
So I will repeat my question once more.
Seiler-Albring. - (DE) Rådet har den opfattelse, at situationen for de internationale fredsbestræbelser - der findes jo en masse af den slags bestræbelser - ikke kræver initiativer i lighed med den regionalkonference, spørgeren foreslår.
Will the Council make an assessment or ask the Commission to make an assessment of the effect of reaching a convergence criteria on the categories of citizens I mentioned in the question?
Formanden. - Vi har en meget stringent forretningsorden, hr. Crowley, og i forbindelse med besvarelsen af spørgsmål står der: Spørgsmål må kun besvares, hvis spørgeren er til stede eller, og det er problemet her, såfremt spørgeren skriftligt har anmeldt en stedfortræder til formanden før spørgetidens start.
Posselt (PPE). - (DE) I read in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung that Mr Kinkel has sent, or will send, a Council working party to Croatia to examine the cooper ation between the European Union and Croatia, which, though not part of the Balkans, is affected by the war and developments there.
Det vil sige, at spørgeren skal fremsætte anmodningen. Jeg beklager.
I am interested in this and I would also like to hear what progress the Council has made in the Macedonia and Kosovo questions.
Formanden. - Spørgsmål nr. 3 af Ephremidis (H-0571/ 94):
Seiler-Albring. - (DE) Mr Smith, combating economic and social exclusion is largely the Member States' responsibility, and the Community may take no more than accompanying measures.
