Falconer (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, Rådet, der stadig er fraværende, vil bemærke, at Udvalget om Eksterne Økonomiske Forbindelser og hver enkelt taler, der har udtalt sig indtil nu, har fordømt dets handlinger angående denne betænkning.
This problem is currently under discussion in the appropriate international forums, and is in particular one of the new themes raised by various participants at the ministerial meeting in Marrakesh as possible discussion topics for the WTO.
Jeg indrømmer, at der på dette punkt naturligvis ikke er nogen garantier.
Journalists can obtain these documents and legislative acts adopted from the Press Service.
Således ligger landet i al sin tydelighed, tror jeg.
A general reference to the availability of such documents is in fact made in the press releases issued by the General Secretariat of the Council.
Én indvending kan man straks foregribe: Det forhold, at finansforordningen i henhold til EF-traktatens artikel 235 udstedes enstemmigt, betyder på ingen måde, at beslutninger inden for rammerne af den således udstedte forordning også skal træffes enstemmigt!
It has also been agreed that the European Parliament should routinely be sent those statements and parts of the minutes to which the code of conduct refers.
Enstemmighedskravet i EF-traktatens artikel 235 óg i øvrigt også i Euratomtraktatens artikel 203 er afledt af den grundlovslignende karakter af de bestemmelser, der udstedes i henhold til denne regel, men som ikke er indeholdt i selve traktaten.
The Secretary-General of the Council has contacted the Secretary-General of the European Parliament to establish practical procedures for forwarding such texts.
De kan således nærmest betragtes som efterfølgende trak- . tatforhandlinger.
His answer, therefore, is, up to a point, satisfactory.
Når sådanne bestemmelser først er ud stedt, kan de sædvanlige fællesskabsprocedurer anvendes inden for rammerne af disse bestemmelser, og her viser artikel 220 A, der i øvrigt i forbindelse med Maastricht traktaten blev indføjet i EFtraktaten af medlemsstaterne, den nye vej til flertalsafgørelser, som Rådet i de netop nævnte tilfælde med MEDA- og TACIS-forordningerne også uden problemer har fundet.
However, according to the Presidency Conclusions of 15 and 16 December 1995 in Madrid: the European Council invited the incoming Italian presidency, in collaboration with the future Irish presidency and after consultation with the Member States, the Commission, Europol Drugs Unit and the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, to prepare a programme of activities which took into account the guidelines in that report.
Jeg er'gerne rede til ved det kommende Råd (generelle anliggender) endnu en gang at meddele Rådet Parlamentets opfattelser med hensyn til dette punkt, førend man går over til en definitiv beslutning, og til at gøre opmærksom på den høje grad af utilfredshed, som findes med hensyn hertil, men jeg kan naturligvis hverken påtage mig Parlamentets eller Rådets ansvar.
The Permanent Representatives of the Member States also receive summaries drawn up by the General Secretariat containing those statements which can be made available to the public, thus allowing wider access by the public to the documents in question.
Kommissionen har sit eget ansvar, sin egen opfattelse, og vil også gentage denne endnu en gang. Det er det eneste, som jeg kan love Dem på nuværende tidspunkt.
The European Parliament is not mentioned here at all. It invites you - the Italian presidency - to do this in collaboration with the Irish presidency and in consultation with Member States, the Commission, the Europol Drugs Unit and the Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction.
Van den Broek, medlem af Kommissionen. - (ÑL) Hr. formand, må jeg begynde med at sige, at jeg hár temmelig stor forståelse for den irritation, som fremgår af sagens forløb.
Finally, the honourable Member's attention is drawn to the fact that the code of conduct which the Council approved on 2 October 1995 concerns only items in the Council minutes which relate to the final adoption of legislative acts within the meaning assigned to that term in the Annex to the Council's rules of procedure.
Jeg har bemærket, hr. kommissær, at De var meget forstående over for alt det, som vi her enstemmigt har sagt.
The thrust of the conclusions reached there was taken on board by the Commission, and without any doubt influenced the work of the European Council.
Derfor går spørgsmålet tilbage til Dem; det er et spørgsmål, som hr. Dankert og jeg rettede til den sidste formand.
Smith (PSE). - In the light of that reply, does the Council believe that the provisions of the agreement should extend to declarations made before the date of the foreign affairs code of conduct.
Efter at have oplevet disse debatter i Rådet, og idet jeg ved, at vi langsomt, men sikkert går i retning af en regerings konference, hvor også de institutionelle forhold tages op, forstår jeg udmærket, at det for EuropaParlamentet er meget vigtigt at holde fast ved dets opfattelse, men at det heller ikke lige er det rigtige tidspunkt, hvor holdninger, der nu engang er indtaget i Rådet på dette institutionelle område, let forandres.
Furthermore, as I have already stated, it will be up to the Italian presidency, in conjunction with the future Irish presidency, to translate the guidelines adopted by the European Council into a programme.
Formanden. - Forhandlingen er afsluttet. Afstemningen finder sted i morgen kl. 12.00.
The Italian presidency will certainly not fail to engage in a dialogue with the European Parliament which will, I trust, be continuous and constructive.
Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er spørgetiden (B4-0010/96).
President - Question No 3 by Mr Bowe, which has been taken over by Mr Smith (H0061/96)
Men jeg spørger mig selv, om det skal spille en så fremtrædende rolle her, eftersom vi ikke én gang, men flere gange har drøftet hele denne situation med hinanden og til sidst med flertal har . draget konklusioner med hensyn til oprettelsen af toldunionen. nen.
I am pleased to inform the honourable Member that, since the adoption on 2 October 1995 of the code of conduct on public access to the Council minutes, the Council has routinely made public both the minutes in question and the related statements in cases where the Council acts as legislator.
Spørgsmål nr. 1 af José Barros Moura (H-0050/96):
Subject: Declarations
Om: Det euroasiatiske topmøde i Bangkok - grund læggende arbejdsmarkedsmæssige rettigheder og internationale arbejdsbestemmelser
It also goes without saying that the principle of transparency must be applied with some degree of circumspection, so as to preserve the efficiency of the decisionmaking process, which could otherwise be handicapped.
Også hvis der således fra Europa-Parlamentets side ikke skulle blive truffet en be slutning af flertallet, har vi fortsat problemet, for hvilket heller ikke jeg i øjeblikket har en effektiv løsning, nemlig at også vi gerne havde set, at flertalsafgørelser havde været reglen med hensyn til suspensionsklausulen.
Following the Foreign Affairs Council's agreement on the use of written declarations by Member States (2 October 1995) which stated that such declarations should be made available to the public, does the Council feel that it has taken the necessary steps to fulfil this commitment to greater openness and access to information?
Hvordan vil EU under forhandlingerne på det euroasiatiske topmøde i Bangkok og i forbindelse med de fremtidige handelsforbindelser mellem EU og Asien sikre overholdelse af de grundlæggende arbejdsmarkedsmæssige rettigheder, internationale arbejdsbestemmelser og den frie forhandlingsret?
I might add that, to my mind, this is a crucial step towards greater democracy and transparency, bringing the citizens of Europe closer to the decisionmaking centre of the Union and enhancing the legitimacy of our Community, which is undoubtedly an objective shared by both the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union.
Det eneste, som jeg kan sige til det, er, således som også forskellige medlemmer har nævnt, at Kommissionen er villig tjl på det tidspunkt, hvor det planlægges, og et forslag sendes til Rådet for at sætte suspensionsklausulen i kraft, også med det samme at orientere Europa-Parlamentet, som på dette tidspunkt ved at fremsætte en udtalelse endnu kan påvirke den eventuelle beslutningstagning i Rådet.
Gardini, President-in-Office of the Council. - (IT) By adopting a code of conduct on public access to the minutes and statements in the minutes of the Council acting as legislator, on 2 October 1995, the Council took a further step towards increasing the transparency of its legislative proceedings.
En anden bemærkning, som jeg gerne vil fremsætte, er, at jeg jo har gode grunde til at forvente, at hvis Kommissionen kommer til den konklusion, at menneskerettighedssituationen i et tredjeland er således, at en tilstedeværende suspensionsklausul bør sættes i kraft, kunne der i Rådet
A procedure for making the documents re ferred to in the code of conduct accessible to the public has thus been established and steps have been taken by the Council Secretariat to achieve the desired objective.
Gardini, formand for Rådet. - (IT) De bekymringer, som det ærede parlamentsmedlem har givet udtryk for, er taget fuldt ud i betragtning i forbindelse med det forberedende arbejde til det euroasiatiske topmøde, der skal finde sted i Bangkok den 1. og 2. marts 1996.
Blak (PSE). - (DA) I should like to know if the minister himself believes that there are any ordinary Danish or European citizens who understand the nonsense he has just stood and talked here.
Rådet bedes imidlertid oplyse, hvorfor Det Europæiske Råd ikke også indbød Europa-Parlamentet til at deltage i samrådet vedrørende udarbejdelsen af et handlingsprogram, som tager hensyn til retningslinjerne i en rapport fra »Gruppen af Narkotikaeksperter«.
its resolution of 30 November 1994 on the admission of citizens of third countries to the territory of the EU Member States for study purposes, the Council highlights the benefits of international exchanges of students and research workers, and acknowledges that the education of students and exchanges of researchers have a positive impact on relations between the Member States and the countries of origin of those concerned.
Er Rådet ikke enig i, at der er fare for overlapning og uklarhed, eftersom denne rapport kom i kølvandet på Europa-Kommissionens rapport om narkotika, som blev fulgt op af en vellykket narkotikakonference i Bruxelles i december?
The Council does not deem it necessary at present to go beyond that decision.
Formandskabet er fuldt bevidst.om den særlig følsomme karakter af problematikken omkring den mulige forbindelse mellem handelssystemet og de arbejdsmarkedsmæssige rettigheder, der er anerkendt på internationalt plan.
President - Mr Blak, you can always table a question based on the written text of the Minister's reply, which you will receive, seeking clarification of precisely what in your view is not clear.
Sir Jack Stewart-Clark (PPE). - (EN) Det er jeg meget glad for at høre, for jeg vil gerne minde rådsformanden om afsnit VI, artikel K.6, i Maastrichttraktaten, hvori det hedder: »Formandskabet skal høre Europa-Parlamentet om de vigtigste aspekter af det arbejde, der foretages på de områder, der er nævnt i dette traktatafsnit, og påse, at der tages behørigt hensyn til Europaparlamentets synspunkter.« ter.«
The basic purpose of my question was to ask the Council to use its influence to ensure that a uniform policy is implemented in this matter so that these people can come into the EU. Can the Council inform us whether it might be prepared to use its influence with these states so that we can have a proper European policy in this domain?
Barros Moura (PSE). - (PT) Jeg skal begrænse mig til at stille ministeren følgende konkrete spørgsmål: hvor var ministeren henne under den netop afholdte debat om Tyrkiet? Ikke flere spørgsmål.
However, there are countries in the Union which still do not issue au pair visas at all or only issue them in the rarest cases, even for countries which already have association agreements with the EU.
Formanden. - Hr. Barros Moura, dette har intet at gøre med spørgsmålet.
Is it not time that a general ruling on this important matter was introduced throughout the Union?
Europa-Parlamentet er overhovedet ikke nævnt her.
You are in fact pressing for faster progress in one particular sector - an important one, moreover - than in others.
Hr. Falconer har anmodet om ordet til forretningsordenen.
The Council's view at present is that it would be inadvisable to take what would be a partial decision, but your hypothesis or proposal is certainly worth keeping in mind.
Falconer (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, til forretningsordenen.
Elliott (PSE). - The President-in-Office of the Council in his initial reply talked mainly about the entry into the European Union of students.
Kan rådsformanden fortælle os, hvor han var mellem 17.15 og 18.10 her til aften?
Au pairs are in a somewhat different position.
Det var kun en time, og måske kan han fortælle os, hvor han har været, og hvad der fandt sted i den time.
They come to take up paid employment with a family in return for board and lodging and perhaps the opportunity to study more extensively the language of the country they are coming to.
Vi har ret til at stille dette spørgsmål.
This regulation, however, relates only to stays lasting a maximum of three months.
Formanden. - Spørgsmål nr. 2 af Sir Jack Stewart-Clark (H-0049/96):
For the reasons given in this oral question, it is indeed desirable to facilitate the entry of au pairs. To this end, in
De konklusioner, man nåede til ved denne lejlighed, er i hvert fald i det væsentlige blevet accepteret af Kommissionen og har givet øvet indflydelse på Det Europæiske Råds arbejde på området.
I had quite a lot of correspondence with the Commission last year about the situation of au pairs and was told that no real action had been taken in relation to them at Community level.
Gardini der er udarbejdet 'før ikrafttrædelsen af adfærdskodeksen om udenrigsanliggender?
Elliott involving the powers of the respective EU institutions must be taken into account.
Det italienske formandskab agter helt bestemt at føre en dialog med EuropaParlamentet, og jeg håber at denne vil blive fortløbende og konstruktiv.
Spiers (PSE). - If Mr Blak was confused earlier, I am even more confused I am afraid.
Om: Erklæringer
The situation in Britain is very curious indeed.
Det glæder mig over for det ærede parlamentsmedlem at kunne er klære, at Rådet siden vedtagelsen af adfærdskodeksen af 2. oktober 1995 om offentlighed i forbindelse med Rådets dokumenter systematisk har offentliggjort disse sarñt de i denne forbindelse fremsatte erklæringer i sager, hvori Rådet handler som lovgiver.
The British Government's explanation of its policy in choosing countries is to say that they want young people whose cultural background is likely to fit in well.
Ifølge aftalen i Rådet (udenrigsministrene) om anvendelsen af skriftlige erklæringer fra medlemsstaterne (2. oktober 1995), skal sådanne erklæringer gøres tilgængelige for offentligheden.
I thank the President-in-Office for his answer. As I recall, when Commissioner Flynn came and answered a similar question about a year ago, he suggested that the hold-up was in the Council and that there was no reluctance on the part of the Commission to push forward this matter of an over-60s card.
Mener Rådet på den bag grund, at det har gjort det nødvendige for at opfylde sin forpligtelse til at skabe større åbenhed og bedre adgang til informationer?
I might have another go at asking Mr Flynn why he has not made a recommendation to the Council.
Jeg kan yderligere tilføje, at der efter min mening er tale om et afgørende fremskridt i retning af et større demokrati og større åbenhed, der kan nærme de europæiske borgere til beslutningscentrene i Unionen og give vort fællesskab en ny legitimitet, hvilket givet er et fælles mål for Europa Par lamentet og Rådet for Den Europæiske Union.
Would it not be best if the Council did look into this and try and achieve some sort of sense in the way this is being dealt with?
Gardini, formand for Rådet. - (IT) Rådets vedtagelse den 2. oktober 1995 af adfærdskodeksen om offentlighed i forbindelse med dokumenter og mundtlige erklæringer.fra Rådet i dets egenskab af lovgiver er et yderligere frem skridt i retning af gennemsigtighed i dets arbejde som lovgiver.
Perhaps I could ask the President-in-Office if he could have a word with the Commission and ask it to make a proposal to the Council so they might discuss it, as indeed was promised by Mr Westendorp when he answered this question in September 1995. As the President-in-Office will know, this recommendation was first made in 1989.
Der er derfor blevet fastlagt en fremgangsmåde med henblik på at gøre de i adfærdskodeksen omhandlede dokumenter offentligt tilgængelige.
It is a very popular proposal with older people throughout the European Union and could do something to make the European Union a little more popular and relevant to people.
Rådets Generalsekretariat har truffet foranstaltninger til opnåelse af det til stræbte mål.
I would ask the Council to do anything it can to carry forward this proposal.
Blak (PSE). - Jeg 'kunne godt tænke mig at høre, om ministeren selv tror, at der er nogen almindelige danske eller europæiske borgere, der forstår det sludder, han netop har stået og sagt her.
Gardini. - (IT) With due respect for all the Member States, as President-inOffice I can tell you that similar proposals and ideas are often aired both during Council discussions and by groups which deal with this problem in all its aspects.
Jeg vil gerne have et fornuftigt svar på, om det, der er blevet sagt her, er forståeligt.
So there is no common view at present which would allow the adoption of decisions of the kind referred to.
Forstår ministeren det selv?
I hope that, as in many other sectors, there will be further developments.
Fra nu kan offentligheden således få adgang til de pågældende dokumenter ved henvendelse til Rådets Generalsekretariat, nærmere betegnet afdelingen for informationspolitik, åbenhed og forbindelser til offentligheden samt cen tralbiblioteket.
Pressure from Members of this House is of course extremely useful and could be exerted at any time in order that, as one of the questioners said, all aspects of legislation in the Member States can be approximated to a greater extent.
Formanden. - Hr. Blak, dette er ikke noget relevant spørgsmål, men en kommentar til en fremgangsmåde.
Gardini. - (IT) It is the duty of the presidency to respect the principle that one body - or, in this case, its spokesman - should not express views or judgements about institutional problems which fall outside its own competence.
De kan altid fremsætte et spørgsmål om dette emne.
Having said that, since in this instance we are addressing ourselves in such an august forum as the European Parliament to a humanitarian issue, I might perhaps add a few words.
Blak (PSE). - Hr. formand, jeg mener ikke, at det er Deres opgave at vurdere det. De kan lade spørgsmålet gå videre.
Following its response to Question H-794/95 ('), could the Council explain why it has never had the opportunity to debate the Commission's proposal to introduce a European over-60s card?
Det er vel ikke således, at en italiensk formand skal dække over en italiensk minister? Det er da ikke åbenhed.
What measures could be taken to expedite the introduction of a European over-60s card as recommended by the Commission in May 1989?
Det er desuden besluttet, at Europa-Parlamentet systematisk skal have tilstillet de erklæringer og de aktstykker, på hvilke adfærdskodeksen finder anvendelse.
As things stand, the Commission has independently adopted a recommendation on the basis of the powers granted to it by the Treaty, without any involvement of the Council.
Med henblik herpå har Rådets generalsekretær henvendt sig til Europa-Parlamentets generalsekretær for at aftale den praktiske fremgangsmåde for fremsendelsen af disse dokumenter.
The honourable Member's question might there fore usefully be addressed to the Commission, which is well equipped to reply to you with a full knowledge of the facts.
Medlemsstaternes faste repræsentanter vil desuden mod tage oversigter, der er udarbejdet af Generalsekretariatet, og som indeholder de erklæringer, der er tilgængelige for offentligheden, hvilket gør det muligt at sikre offentligheden eh mere omfattende adgang til de pågældende dokumenter. menter.
Likewise, and for the same reasons, the Council is not in a position to indicate what measures might be likely to expedite the introduction of such a card, given all the attendant problems and the differences or similarities between the various Member States' legal systems.
For så vidt angår alle andre dokumenter findes reglerne vedrørende aktindsigt i Rådets afgørelse 93/73 l/EF af 20. december 1993 om aktindsigt i Rådets dokumenter.
Stewart-Clark, Sir Jack (PPE). - / think I was glad to hear what the Presidentin-Office said because he seemed to be saying that he is basically behind this proposal.
Formanden. - Hr. Blak, De kan altid fremsætte et spørgs mål på grundlag af den skriftlige tekst, de får tilstillet, af ministerens svar og spørge ikke bredt, men konkret om det, der ikke synes Dem klart.
To be absolutely clear, I would therefore repeat that, firstly, the Council has never in the past, and has still not, received a Commission proposal for the introduction of an over-60s card and, secondly, what was involved in this particular instance was an initiative taken autonomously by the Commission, by virtue of the powers granted to it by the Treaty, which took the form of a recommendation to the Member States dated 10 May 1989.
Fremsættelse af almindeligt holdte anklager er lidet værdigt for dette parlament.
The matter has therefore not been neglected, but procedural considerations
Man kan ikke kalde alt for sludder uden udtrykkeligt at tilkendegive, hvad der er sludder, og hvad der er fakta. De har således enhver mulighed for selv at fremsætte et spørgsmål angående dette emne.
May I specifically ask him, and I speak as one of the co-presidents of our Intergroup on Ageing in this Parliament, whether he would meet Commissioner Flynn and officers of our intergroup or our intergroup specifically to discuss this problem with a view to it being resolved?
Hvis der da er tale om et andet spørgsmål.
Also, if I might be so bold, could I ask him to let us know which
Formanden. - Spørgsmål rir. 4 af Otto von Habsburg (H-0062/96):
Stewart-Clark, Sir Jack country was putting difficulties in the way as far as competence was concerned?
Om: Udstedelse af visa til unge på au pair-ophold
Gardini. - (IT) I referred a moment ago to the important aspect of what the EU institutions can do in practice, in financial terms, but I am quite willing to comment on the substance of the matter.
Gardini. - (IT) Naturligvis værdsætte formandskabet alle de positive elementer i de tanker, ideer og forslag, som det ærede parlamentsmedlem har fremsat, og håber, at samtlige lande vil gå videre i gennemførelsen af de mål, som det ærede parlamentsmedlem har nævnt.
Gardini. - (IT) I think I have said everything there is to say on this matter; the Council presidency does not wish to interfere, and would itself brook no interference.
Jeg tager som råds formand meget gerne Deres forslag til efterretning, men jeg mener, at problemet med tilslutningen af de lande, De har nævnt, gradvis er ved at blive løst.
The. question of relations between the Council and the Com mission should be addressed at administrative level, and I am unable to discuss it here.
Au pair-ordningerne er i dag, navnlig for de nyligt befriede lande i Central- og Østeuropa med deres utilstrækkelige materielle midler, ikke uden betydning for opdragelsen og disse landes tilpasning til de demokratiske værdier.
The European Union thinks it right to back the endeavours of the Sri Lankan Government to find a negotiated solution with the Tamil independence movement.
