Afstemningen finder sted kl. 17.30.
The EU had repeat­edly called for his release.
En gang er ingen gang, og jeg tror, at vi kan rose Rådet for dets faste holdning med hensyn til Belarus.
Attempts to exploit ethnic conflict must be dealt with.
Den Europæiske Union netop har fået bevilget et lån på omkring USD 20 milliarder, kunne man godt have for ventet, at landet ville gøre mere for at sætte en stopper, ikke for en genopblussen, som hr. Mertens sagde det, men for en fortsat kommunistisk, stalinistisk fæstning midt i Europa.
1 can assure Mr Moorhouse that the Commission will closely monitor events in Nigeria and in the months to come the European Union will keep its policy towards Ni­geria under review, including the question of the sanc­tions. The aim of our policy will be to support and de­mand the full restoration of democracy and full respect for human rights.
Der kan med rette lægges pres på Rusland.
1 can assure the House that our efforts will be very much in that direction.
Der kan også træffes foranstaltninger i Europarådet.
President ­ The joint debate is closed.
Det gælder også for OSCE og andre instanser.
Situation in Belarus
Jeg mener, at man skal være hård og fortsætte i den retning, Rådet har valgt.
The sudden death of General Abacha may just possibly clear the way for a more hopeful future, but that is by no means certain.
Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er forhandling under ét om følgende seks forslag til beslutning:
President ­ The next item is the joint debate on the fol­lowing six motions for resolutions:
Virkningen er forbløffende.
The effect has been amazing.
Forestil Dem, at nu har be folkningen fattet, hvem der er skyld i dens situation.
Just imagine, the population has now realised who is to blame for the situation in which it finds itself.
Det er ikke befolkningen selv og ikke vesten, men de ansvar lige i regeringen.
It is not the people, not the West, but those in power in the government.
Et lille instrument med en forbavsende virkning!
A small instrument with an as tounding effect!
Nu drejer det sig om at videreføre dette arbejde konsekvent, det vil sige, at der skal stilles det krav til Lukasjenko, at han skal samarbejde med OSCE's monitoring group.
Now comes the task of ensuring that this work is continued consistently, in other words that Lukashenko must be made to cooperate with the OSCE monitoring group.
Der skal stilles krav til ham om at give grønt lys for TACIS-programmet og sørge for, at civilbefolkningen ikke længere lider nød. Der skal stilles krav om, at han skal acceptere, at hans valgperiode kun går frem til 1999, og at der skal forberedes frie og fair valg.
He must be' made to give the TACIS programme the green light so that finally there can be an end to the suffering of the civil population.
Bertens (ELDR). - (NL) Hr. formand* Den.Liberale Gruppe glæder sig over den enige holdning i dette tilfælde fra Rådet, Kommissionen og Parlamentet samt en lang række tredjelande med hensyn til styret i Minsk, Belarus.
Bertens (ELDR). - (NL) Mr President, the liberals are delighted about the unified position taken in this case by the Council, Commission and Parliament and a large number of third countries regarding the regime in Minsk, Belarus.
Den såkaldte ambassadekrise viser samtidig præsident Lukasjenkos storhedsvanvid og verdensfjernhed.
The socalled embassy incident shows at the same time the delusions of grandeur and otherworldliness of President Lukashenko.
Den nonchalance, han viser i sin krænkelse af de internationale konventioner, giver ikke meget håb om et godt samarbejde: Lukasjenkos reaktion, nemlig at han håber, at common sense og realisme, og ikke følelser, vil være be stemmende for EU's politik, er et slag i ansigtet.
The ease with which he violates international conventions offers little hope for good cooperation. The reaction of Lukashenko, the fact that he hopes that common sense and realism and not emotions will determine European policy, is a slap in the face for us.
I den sammenhæng spørger jeg Dem, Sir Leon Brittan: Hvad er Kommissionen parat til, og hvad agter den at foreslå Rådet af betingelser for, at visumforbuddet ophæves igen?
In this context I as you, Mr Brittan: what is the Commission prepared to do, and what conditions do you intend to propose to the Council for the lifting of the visa ban?
Hans udenrigspolitik er dog kun en skygge af hans autoritære indenrigspolitik.
His international policy is, however, but a shadow of his authoritarian domestic policy.
Stalintiden, må jeg måske have lov at sige, synes at være vendt tilbage.
The era of, dare I say it, Stalinism appears to have returned.
Oyer for dette må en enig international front tage klar stilling.
A united international front must take a clear position against this.
OSCE's ind sats for at fremme demokratiet fortjener respekt ligesom TACIS-demokratiseringsprogrammet, hvis den belarussiske regering da ikke blokerer det.
The use of the OSCE to promote democracy deserves appreciation, as does the TACIS programme for democracy, at least if the Belarus Government does not block this.
Mann, Erika (PSE). - (DE) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, Sir Leon Brittari, det glæder mig, at De er til stede.
Mann, Erika (PSE). - (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Sir Leon Brittan, I am delighted that you are here.
Vi er nået til et kritisk punkt i vores forbindelser med Belarus, og jeg ville ønske, at det var den sidste beslutning, vi nu drøfter, og at vi omsider kunne nærme os en positiv vej.
We have reached a critical point in our relations with Belarus and 1 hope very much that this will be the last resolution we discuss and that we will now finally be able to move along a more positive route.
Unionen skal være villig til en dialog.
The Union must be prepared for dialogue.
Men først skal Lukasjenko opfylde betingelserne herfor.
But first, Lukashenko must satisfy the preconditions.
Han kender demokrati- og menneskerettighedsklausulerne i Den Europæiske Unions eksterne aftalepolitik.
He understands the democracy and human rights clauses of the agreement which the European Union has with third countries.
Det er hans skyld, at Belarus er Europas paria.
It is his fault that Belarus is the pariah of Europe.
Europa-Parlamentets forhandlinger
The Council's decisions merit our full support.
Mann, Erika til at være i sigte.
It now appears that new negotiations are on the cards and a settlement to the conflict seems to be in sight.
Regeringen i Belarus har udsendt det signal, at den er reelt interesseret i en positiv løsning.
The Belarus Government has signalled a serious in terest in finding a positive solution.
Det er vi naturligvis virkelig glade for. Konflikten bør imidlertid få os til at indse, hvor tynd den is er, som vi alle går på.
Clearly this is some thing we welcome.
Et vendepunkt i tendenserne i forbindelserne er stærkt påkrævet.
A change of direction iti.our relations is urgently needed.
Belaras hører med til den europæiske familie.
Belarus is part of the European family.
En isolering er ikke ønskværdig.
Nobody wants it to be isolated.
Belarus vil snart blive vores umiddelbare nabo.
It will soon be our immediate neighbour.
Jeg støtter derfor udtrykkelig Rådets formulering og vil gerne foreslå, at vi i punkt 1 tilføjer, at Parlamentet fuldt ud støtter Rådets ønske, som det kom til udtryk i den fælles holdning af 13. juli, om at få etableret et mere konstruktivt forhold til Belarus.
I therefore particularly support the wording proposed by the Council and would like to suggest that we include the following words under paragraph 1.1 would suggest that we take the English text, unfortunately I do not have the original here, just the German version which is more or less the same and states that it fully supports the Council's desire, expressed in the Common Position of 13 July, to develop more constructive relations with Belarus.
Men derudover skal der også komme klart positive signaler fra Belarus.
But this must include clear positive signals from Belarus.
Europa-Parlamentet har på tværs af alle grænser mellem grupperne vist, hvor meget vi er interesseret i en forbedring af forbindelserne.
The European Parliament has shown right across the po litical board just how serious is its interest in improving relations.
Men dertil hører naturligvis også, at de demokratiske spilleregler overholdes.
But naturally this means respecting the democratic rules of the game.
Vi kan ikke sætte os ud over dem her, og det vil vi naturligvis heller ikke gøre.
We cannot, and of course we will not, overlook this point.
Hr. ambassadør Wick viste klart og meget pragmatisk, hvilken vej han agter at gå for at ind lede en forbedring i forbindelserne.
Ambassador Wick illustrated clearly and pragmatically the steps he believes should be taken in order to bring about an improvement in relations.
Vi planlægger endnu et arrangement til november i Belarus, og jeg ville ønske, at alle de kolleger, som nu er til stede her, får mulighed for at komme med og arbejde videre på en forbedring af for bindelserne.
We are planning another meeting in Belarus in November and I would hope that all of us here will have the opportunity to attend and to continue our work on improving relations.
Jeg kender godt det belarussiske folk og deres præsident Lukasjenko.
Schroedter (V). - (DE) Mr President, President Lukashenko is taking his self-inflicted isolation of Belarus to ex cess.
Den belarussiske befolkning har lidt og lider stadig under katastrofen i Tjernobyl, mens de vestlige lande udviser fuldstændig ligegyldighed.
After the elected representatives of the dissolved parliament, the independent media and young people, it is now the western ambassadors which Lukashenko has sin gled out for bullying as his personal enemy.
Lad mig minde om, at præsident Lukasjenko er demokratisk valgt af en entusiastisk befolkning, som han havde lovet at bekæmpe korruptionen, hvilket han gør. En politiker, der overholder sådanne valgløfter, burde tjene som eksempel for vores gamle korrupte partier, som man kender dem i Frankrig, Belgien og Italien, vores gamle partier, der er skyldige i politiske rænkespil og kriminelle opgør, hvor ophavsmændene ofte forbliver ustraffet.
It was very slow in realizing that Lukashenko was not prepared to respect international rules in Europe and that the country's only hope of returning to democracy is through support for the opposition, for the opposition is the only thing on which we can pin our hopes.
Hvordan kan vi tillade os at give Belarus lektioner i de mokrati, når der ved hjælp af pressen og sorte penge svindles med vores egne vaig?
Who are we to give Belarus lessons in democracy, when our own elections are rigged by a servile press and dirty money?
Er vores Parlament en diskussionsklub, hvor man taler og lyver?
Will our Parliament become a place where we just chat and lie?
Det er her i salen blevet sagt, at der ikke findes nogen fri presse i Belarus.
We have been told, here, that there was no free press in Belarus.
Jeg har været der for at se efter, og jeg har i hver eneste aviskiosk kunnet finde to frit tilgængelige aviser, der støt ter regeringen, og to aviser, der støtter oppositionen.
Well, I went there to see, and at every newsstand I found on sale two pro-government dailies and two opposition dailies.
Vi kender alle lignelsen om strået og bjælken.
We all know the parable of the mote and the beam.
Vi burde tænke lidt mere over den.
We should think long and hard about that.
Habsburg-Lothringen (PPE). - (DE) Hr. formand, først vil jeg også geme sige, at jeg er glad for, at man i dag igen har hørt visse impulser fra Belarus gående ud på, at de sid ste dages meget skærpede situation måske igen ser ud til at blive mere normal.
Habsburg-Lothringen (PPE). - (DE) Mr President, first of all I should also like to say how pleased I am that today we have heard certain signals from Belarus suggesting that the very tense situation of the last few days might per haps be returning to normal to some extent.
Repræsentanter fra Belarus har ofte bebrejdet os, at vi, netop også hvad angår spørgsmål om menneskerettigheder, ofte ikke måler med samme alen.
Representatives from Belarus have often reproached us for applying double standards, particularly with regard to human rights.
Hertil har jeg altid kun kunnet svare, at man naturligvis er særlig kritisk, når man ser på lande, som ér vores umiddelbare nabostater, og om hvilke vi går ud fra, at de en gang geme vil med i vores Fællesskab, idet de kulturelt står os endog meget nær, således som det rent faktisk er tilfældet med Belarus.
On each occasion, my only response has been to say that it is only natural that we should regard countries which are our immediate neighbours, countries which we assume might one day wish to become part of our Com munity, countries which have many cultural similarities with ourselves - as is the case with Belarus - with a par ticularly critical eye.
Hr. formand, kære kolleger, jeg har foran mig, og jeg kan vise dem frem, kopier af to breve af 11. juli til Rådets for mandskab.
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I have here, and I will show them to you, copies of two letters sent on 11 July to the presidency of the Council, one written by President Lukashenko himself, the other by the Belorussian Minister for Foreign Affairs.
Det ene fra præsident Lukasjenko selv, og det andet fra den belarussiske udenrigsminister, hvori de for pligter sig til at opfylde ønskerne og kravene fra ambassadørerne i Minsk.
They both undertake to satisfy the will and demands of the ambassadors accredited to Minsk.
Tysklands ambassadør er allerede ble vet udpeget af Rådet til at tage til Minsk i løbet af de næste to-tre dage, for at opnå en aftale.
The German ambassador has already been appointed by the Council to go to Minsk in the next two to three days in order to sign the agreement.
Jeg synes, at det ville være ærgerligt, hvis en beslutning fra Europa-Parlamentet ødelægger de forhandlinger, der er indgået, og som næsten har ført til et resultat.
I think that it would be regrettable for a European Parliament resolution to jeopardize negotiations which have started and which are already almost completed.
Vi måler med samme alen, men måske ser vi af og til lidt nøjere efter i nogle lande, end vi gør i andre lande, fordi vi simpelthen skal have og ønsker at få et nært forhold til de førstnævnte lande.
We do not apply double standards, but perhaps we do look at some countries more closely than others, quite simply because we need and want to have a close relation ship with these countries.
Derfor kigger vi af og til meget kritisk på Belarus og ser efter, hvad der rent faktisk foregår der.
This is why we sometimes look very critically at Belarus and at what is happening there.
Så bliver vi netop også nødt til at sige, at visse ting i landet simpelthen ikke kan accepteres, således som vi har gjort det her.
Then we are obliged to say that certain things happening there are quite simply unacceptable, as we have done in this case.
Naturligvis er quasi-afspærringen af ambassaderne noget, vi under ingen omstændigheder kan acceptere, og vores reaktion er derfor efter min mening en yderst rimelig reaktion.
Of course, the quasi closure of the embassies is something we find wholly unacceptable, and our reaction to it is therefore,-in my view, a very appropriate reaction.
Vi kan naturligvis heller ikke acceptere forbuddet mod indrejse og mod forskellige NGO'ers arbejde.
Of course, we also consider the failure to allow various NGOs to enter and to work in the country to be inadmissible.
Også her er der sket et og andet, og der er visse tendenser til en bedring, men nok endnu ikke i et omfang, vi kan acceptere.
Here, too, some progress has been made and there has been a certain improvement, but not yet to an extent which we find acceptable.
Brittan, Sir Leon, næstformand i Kommissionen. - (EN) Hr. formand, Parlamentets beslutning vil ikke få de far lige konsekvenser, som lige blev nævnt - tværtimod.
Brittan, Sir Leon, Vice-President of the Commission. -Mr President, Parliament's resolution will not do any of the dangerous things just referred to - quite the reverse.
Kommissionen bifalder Parlamentets beslutningsforslag om Belarus.
The Commission welcomes Parliament's proposals for a resolution on Belarus.
Debatten har stort set været meget afbalanceret, idet der både er givet udtryk for egentlig kritik af be-
For the most part, the debate has been an extremely balanced one, expressing proper criticisms of what has been going on in Belarus as well as a desire not to isolate Belarus, but to help it follow the proper path.
Brittan, Sir Leon givenhedeme i Belarus og et ønske om ikke at isolere lan det, men hjælpe det på rette vej.
In response to the last speaker, the fact that a government has been democratically elected does not absolve it from the obligation to obey international norms and respect for human rights.
vi holder øje med situationen, og jeg mener ikke, at vi vil få noget ud af at udstede en række specifikke trusler. Som svar på debatten sagde jeg dog, at vi ønsker at undgå yder ligere sanktioner mod Belarus, hvilket indebærer, at vi fuldt ud forbeholder os ret til at indføre sådanne, hvis der ikke sker fremskridt.
Féret (NI). - Mr President, the draft resolution on the sit uation in Belarus is a work of art, a magnificent piece of disinformation to be classed as one of the wonders of the world, alongside the media lies of Timisoara or thé Gulf War, a war which was said to be a precision instrument and which ended up as a dreadful butchery.
Schroedter (V). - (DE) Hr. formand, spørgsmålet lød: Hvad er betingelserne for, at dette visumforbuddet ophæves igen?
The Belarus authorities have decided - what could be more normal - to repair water pipes which are more than half-a-century old, and we hear talk about the expulsion of ambassadors, of serious violations of the Vienna Con vention and of human rights.
For nu at svare den sidste taler, så skal en regering, selvom den er demokratisk valgt, stadig overholde internationale normer og respektere menneskerettighederne.
Therefore, the Commission welcomes Parliament's pro posals for a resolution because they demonstrate the deep concern of all European Union institutions about, for ex ample, the repeated violations of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations.
Det er desværre alt for let for en demokratisk regering at slippe afsted med det modsatte, og i så fald har det internationale samfund ret og endda pligt til at gøre opmærksom på det og træffe de nødvendige foranstaltninger.
Furthermore, they show institutional solidarity with the European Union common position on Belarus, which has been regarded as quite a tough one.
Brittan, Sir Leon, næstformand i Kommissionen. - (EN) Jeg er ikke i stand til at udtale mig om specifikke forhold.
Nonetheless, the Commission also hopes that the recent promises by Belarus to work towards a solution to the diplomatic crisis will soon materialise into constructive steps.
Den fælles holdning taler for sig selv, og det ville ikke være passende for mig at sige mere om den i dag.
There would then be no need to take further action that would be undesirable both for Belarus, and obviously, for the European Union.
Kommissionen hilser derfor Parlamentets beslutningsforslag velkommen, fordi forslagene udtrykker, hvor be kymret alle EU's institutioner er over f.eks. de gentagne krænkelser af Wienerkonventionen om diplomatiske for bindelser.
The Belorussian people have suffered, and continue to suffer, as a result of the Chernobyl disaster, to the scandalous indifference of the west.
Desuden viser forslagene solidaritet mellem in stitutionerne med hensyn til Den Europæiske Unions fælles holdning til Belarus, som anses for at være temmelig skrap.
President Lukashenko, it must be recalled, was democratically elected by an enthusiastic population to whom he com mitted himself to fighting corruption, and that is what he is doing.
Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er forhandling under ét om følgende 23 forslag til beslutning:

Så meget desto mere gør det os alle ondt, at vi i sin tid kun under store vanskeligheder kunne afholde AVS-forsamlingens forrige samling i Togo og sige ja tak til ind bydelsen fra Togo.
Brittan, Sir Leon, Vice-President of the Commission. -1 am not in a position to state specific conditions.
En række kolleger havde særlige problemer med at erklære sig rede til at rejse til det land.

Der er stillet nogle ændringsforslag til denne tekst.
Several amendments to this text have been tabled.
Dertil vil jeg blot sige, at jeg anser ændringsforslag 4 og 5 for acceptable, det ene, fordi det henledet opmærksomheden på artikel 366 a, beslutningen fra Mauritius.
I would simply like to explain that I think Amendments Nos 4 and 5 are acceptable, one because it refers back to Article 366a, the Mauritius resolution.
Ændringsforslag 5 er ret beset overflødigt, for jeg anser det for at være en selvfølge, at vi får en sådan beretning.
Amendment No 5 is actually superfluous since 1 believe it goes without say ing that we will receive the relevant report.
