Hr. formand, et positivt resultat af regeringskonferencen er en absolut nødvendig betingelse for at kunne tage hul på optagelsesforhandlingerne med landene i Central- og Østeuropa samt Malta og Cypern.
These are ambitious but essential goals if we are to make the construction of Europe less flimsy and delicate.
Ligesom det er tilfældet med Den Økonomi ske og Monetære Union, så er den politiske beslutning om at gå videre med udvidelsen allerede taget.
However, they can be attained and achieved only if the whole construction does not seem remote from the concrete expectations of the citizens of Europe, who today look ahead with a deep feeling of concern and anxiety.
Men den vej, der skal føre os derhen, er mindre klart opridset.
That is why. going beyond the institutional and diplomatic aspects.
Jeg vil i dag aflægge beretning for Europa-Parlamentet om resultalerne af' gruppens arbejde og især om det arbejde, der er udført af dets to repræsentanter. Jeg vil også gerne delagtiggøre Dem i min anskuelse af regeringskonferencen og i. hvad der i mine øjne kunne blive Parlamentets rolle i de kommende måneder.
The proposal by the majority of the group to integrate Western European Union totally in the European Union on a step by step basis, either by WEU becoming the military operational arm of the EU or by the WEU Treaty being taken over in full in the EU Treaty, offers a chance to standardize that institution and its ability to act, while also providing the necessary flexibility to ensure that those states that want to act can do so while those states that have hitherto been neutral and outside NATO can participate as much as they are able.
Der er for det første tale om en intensivering af føroptagelsesstrategien.
In cases where we have the necessary majorities, we should build on them and keep those who have supported us on our side.
Kommissionens foreløbige rapport viser de fremskridt, der er gjort især som følge af Hvidbogen om det indre marked.
In cases where we have not yet succeeded, we will have to work hard.
Også i andre sektorer vil vi hjælpe landene i Central- og Østeuropa i deres bestræbelser på tilpasning til det, der er nået i Fællesskabet.
There is still a lot to do in terms of simplifying the Treaty.
Jeg udtrykker en følelse, som mange deler med mig, når jeg insisterer på en mindre formel, mindre rituel indfaldsvinkel til den såkaldt strukturerede dialog.
In the fields of comitology and the hierarchy of norms there is still a considerable amount to be done to assert Parliament's rights.
De har alle kunnet læse den rapport, der blev vedtaget i sidste uge af refleksionsgruppen, som Carlos Westendorp har ledet på fremragende vis.
There is still some cause for dissatisfaction in the budgetary procedure and in agricultural policy.
Jeg bør sige, at jeg er meget tilfreds med, at gruppen ikke har forsøgt at udarbejde en midtsøgende rapport, der ville have tilsløret uenighederne, og som ville have været uden indhold.
We will have to take this up in the coming months so that we can make the necessary improvements in these areas too.
Endelig kommer en tilbundsgående analyse af udvidelsens indvirkning på Den Europæiske Unions politikker.
President Santer, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to draw your attention to one particular point: the European Union is running the risk of being overtaken, and ultimately over whelmed, by the onrush of so many events, both positive and negative, which mark out this moment in history.
I den anledning vil Kommissionen forelægge Det Europæiske Råd en første foreløbig rapport, som helt klart bør følges op af et mere tilbundsgående arbejde. Jeg vil også henlede Deres opmærksomhed på vor rapport om den fælles landbrugspolitik. Jeg vil også erindre om. at Kommissionen straks efter regeringskonferencen vil forelægge en samlet meddelelse om vore politikker og vore finanser på den anden side 1999.
Recently, Europe has too often been taken unawares, in relation to both the collapse of the Soviet empire — which in some respects rendered the Maastricht Treaty obsolete and hastened applica tions from new countries to join the European Union — and the barbaric regression represented by the war in Bosnia, and. lastly, the demographic, social and religious pressures now emanating from the peoples of the Mediterranean shores at an unexpected rate.
Endelig er det vigtigt at foretage en objektiv og uvildig undersøgelse af, hvor langt de enkelte ansøgerlande er nået med deres forberedelser.
That is why the process of integration must cease to be dependent on diplomatic action, which is almost always at the mercy of events, and be placed firmly in the
Det var efter min mening den bedste måde al gøre det på, for det er bedre at pege på uenighederne end at risikere en forstilt enighed.
The citizen wants the benefits of a united Europe and is not particularly interested in areas of responsibility.
Guigou tjener også i hvert tilfælde til at lægge pres på mindretallet — i det mindste det mindretal, der ønsker et samlet positivt resultat af konferencen.
Fontana realm of politics, entrusted to the human capacity for reason, the capacity to grasp the underlying trends of history, in order to anticipate events, the better, ultimately, to control them.
også miljøbeskyttelse, tryghed under overholdelse af menneskerettighederne og freden.
We are also concerned because numerous directives on social matters, such as the Fourth Programme for combating poverty, are still held up in the Council.
Den analyserer de institutionelle reformer og de af Unionens midler, der gør det muligt for den at nå disse mål.
It also seems to us that not enough specific measures are adopted against racism and xenophobia.
Denne medlemsstat har ikke opnået den støtte, som den antageligt ventede.
Spaak (ELDR). - (FR) Mr President, the Westendorp Com mittee has completed its mission.
Men desværre kan selv et enkelt land. sådan som traktaterne ser ud i dag. blokere en konference, hvor der kræves enstemmighed.
It consisted, as its chairman has reminded us, of identifying the challenges facing the Europe of today, but also the Europe of tomorrow.
Det kan selvfølgelig være. at der vil ske politiske forandringer i det pågældende land inden konferencens afslutning, som vil lette forhandlingsprocessen, men selv om dette skulle ske. bør man vide. at konferencen ikke vil blive let. for afstanden mellem de forskellige medlemsstaters flertal og mindretal er under alle omstændigheder stor.
We are grateful to the committee and its members for the work done, particularly Mrs Guigou and Mr Brok for their active participation and for having kept the Committee on Institutional Affairs regularly informed.
For det første vil jeg nævne spørgsmålet om europæisk statsborgerskab.
The timetable for convening the Intergovernmental Conference must be respected.
Gruppens rapport gentager den fulde tekst af Europa-Parlamentets forslag med undtagelse af vort forslag om beskyttelse af mindretal.
In fact, the time has come for the politicians of the fifteen Member States to shoulder their responsibilities.
Europa-Parlamentets forslag, der taler for en beskyttelse af menneskerettighederne fik stor støtte.
Speeches and declarations of good intentions will no longer do.
Rapporten kræver rent faktisk, at en generel bestemmelse i traktaten forbyder enhver form for forskelsbehandling, jeg citerer: »på grund af nationalitet, køn, race, religion, handicap, alder eller seksuel observans«.
Everything points to the fact that, to improve the lot of Europeans and prepare for the enlargement, a series of decisions must be taken marking a further stage in European integration.
Den kræver også, og det er meget vigtigt, status og rettigheder for statsborgere fra tredje lande, der har lovlig bopæl i Unionen.
We must constantly denounce the false ideas of those who claim to want a strong Europe while endowing it with weak institutions.
Derfor er jeg i dag urolig, meget urolig selv hvad angår konferencens resultater, og jeg tror. at vort Parlament af den grund bør intensivere sit arbejde og således sammen med Kommissionen og visse medlemsstater være den politiske indpisker ved regeringskonferencen.
We are concerned about certain conclusions of the Atlantic Summit to which Mr Westendorp referred, that recent Atlantic Summit on which, unfortunately, the European Parliament was not consulted beforehand, and we are speaking also of the content of the agreements because we regret that they did not cover any machinery for monetary consultation to prevent the over-valuation of the dollar.
Denne støtte kan sandsynligvis tilskrives Europa-Parlamentets deltagelse i gruppen.
Achieving the convergence criteria will require great efforts on the part of all the citizens.
På samme måde ville en række ideer, som Parlamentet har sal sig imod. være blevet givet en større støtte.
But the Maastricht Treaty has also revealed its deficiencies, which are already affecting the present and are still more worrying for the future.
Her tænker jeg især på et forslag, der sigter på at etablere en ny institution bestående af repræsentanter for de nationale parlamenter. — en idé. som vort Parlament ligesom i øvrigt Kommissionen er stærkt imod. samtidig med at vi er for en forbedring af de nationale parlamenters rolle og af den kontrol, som disse udøver over deres respektive regeringer.
I would like to reopen the debate on three of them: as expected the pillar structure has proved ineffective: the rigidity of the voting procedures must give way to a more flexible majority system adapted to the issues in hand: the European Parliament's powers of control must be strengthened and the national parliaments must play their full role in the context of their own powers.
Hvad angår den indre sikkerhed, så var den holdning, som flertallet af gruppen havde til dette, lig vort Parlaments holdning. I en tid, hvor kriminaliteten er grænseoverskridende, og hvor dommere og politi desværre alt for ofte er nationale, bør der etableres effektive mekanismer på europæisk plan, samtidig med at man omhyggeligt respekterer menneskerettighederne. For at gøre dette er det nødvendigt at gøre flere områder, der i dag hører under den tredje søjle, til fællesskabs anliggender.
On another subject — and without making any assessment of the Euro-Mediterranean Conference, which we did yesterday, — our Group welcomes the help given by the European Union to the Palestinian population in Gaza and the West Bank and asks the Council to intensify its actions in support of the peace process and harmonious development at present under way in the region.
Det vil rent konkret sige, at man ganske enkelt må gøre brug af Fællesskabets retlige system: hurtige, effektive og smidige direktiver, der udarbejdes og foreslås af Kommissionen i stedet for langsomme, tunge og stive internationale aftaler mellem regeringer, tilsyn udøvet af Domstolen og Europa-Parlamentet, og beslutninger taget ved kvalificeret flertal.
We particularly ask the Council to adopt appropriate initiatives for the resumption of the dialogue between the Kingdom of Morocco and the Polisario Front and thus to guarantee the exercise of the right of self-determination of the Sahrawi people by means of the referendum envisaged by the United Nations; the other day we had occasion to speak to the Secretary General of the United Nations at the Conference of Presidents and were concerned to hear that there are difficult obstacles to the holding of such a referendum properly and fairly.
Uden disse reformer vil der ikke være nogen sand europæisk indsats imod forbrydelse og bandituvæsen.
We do not minimize the danger of the Intergovernmental Conference failing, and even more serious, getting bogged down.
Gruppen drøftede disse spørgsmål længe, og vi, Elmar Brok og jeg. har rejst rundt og besøgt de enkelte hovedstæder for at møde hvert enkelt nationalt parlament.
As Commissioner Oreja has stated, there is no question of regarding the negative position of the British as a working hypothesis.
Følgen heraf er. at refleksionsgruppen eksplicit afviser ideen om et andetkammer bestående af nationale parlamentsmedlemmer, og at kun et medlem stadig støtter ideen om et rådgivende udvalg for nærhedsprincippet bestående af nationale parlamentsmedlem mer.
The political leaders of the fifteen Member States now face the challenge of making the Intergovernmental Conference a success, under pain of disappointing public opinion once again.
Desuden har vi lige fra starten af gruppens arbejde især talt for en ikke-begrænsning af rapporten til den rene institutionelle mekanik.
It is time to remind people and to demonstrate that economic union is not just a large market, but an ambitious political project based on democracy and values as lofty as liberty and solidarity.
Vi anmodede om. at denne prioritet ville fremgå klarere af traktaten, foreksempel som den svenske repræsentant foreslog det ved at vie et særligt kapitel til beskæftigelse og ved at indskrive denne prioritet i de mål. der er nævnt i artikel 3.
Puerta (GUE/NGL). - (£5) Mr President, I should like to begin by thanking the Commission and the Spanish presidency for their constant attendance at our debates, both in the Chamber itself and in the various committees.
Det var rent faktisk vigtigt, at rapporten gør de udfordringer, som Den Europæiske Unionen står overfor, de mål. den kan sætte sig for at imødekomme europæernes uro. og de midler, den vil give sig selv for al nå disse mål. mere læsevenlige og mere gennemsigtige.
Mr Philippe Herzog, a fellow-member of my group, will tell you about the conference, the revision of the Treaty and the Reflection Group so brilliantly steered or chaired — I think steered — by Mr Westendorp.
Rapporten giver en god identifikation af konferencens to store satsningsområder, nemlig på den ene side at få den eksisterende Union til at fungere og på den anden side under gode betingelser at binde an med udvidelsen med landene i Central- og Østeuropa.
My task is to speak of the other items for the Madrid Summit and I must tell you that our Group shares the growing concern among public opinion as regards the economic situation and unemployment, and we think that the policies applied in the Member States, particularly reducing public deficits with the aim of meeting the criteria for the
Rapporten understreger endvidere de mål. som slår i forbindelse med europæernes uro: for det første beskæftigelsen men
I shall not mention here the debates — which I have already explained or tried to explain to President González — which are going on in many parties and institutions making the debate about the single currency more flexible without dogmatism.
Men man må konstatere, at gruppens tekst forbliver ret så vag på disse punkter. Det er imidlertid lykkedes for os at sætte foden i døren.
I should like to remind you, Mr Santer and Mr Westendorp, of that phrase of a Greek philosopher, if I might make a stab at it: 'a friend of Plato but even more a friend of the truth'.
Der står stadig meget tilbage at gøre for at overbevise om nødvendigheden af at samordne de økonomiske politikker med beskæftelsesmålet øverst på dagsordenen.
And in this case I would express it like this: friends of the single currency of course, but still greater friends of a more just and democratic society.
Guigou høringsproceduren, der vil blive forbedret for så vidt angår udenrigspolitikken, og den fælles beslutningstagning.
IN THE CHAIR: MR FONTANA Vicepresident from the public authorities when seeking practical solutions to the most important challenges facing them, which basically concern everything connected with their security both at work and in the economic, monetary, environmental, social and physical spheres -lasting stability, in brief.
Et flertal i gruppen kunne ligeledes gå ind for vor idé om at forenkle og kodificere Traktaten og gøre procedurerne meget mere gennemsigtige.
But for that we have to provide the European Union with instruments and mechanisms suitable for ensuring that the institutions operate correctly and are suited to present circumstances and those to come, in which a common foreign and security policy will be of vital importance.
Der er nogen, der synes at frygte, at dette skulle svække Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union. Men hvorfor skulle det det?
Cohn-Bendit (V). - (FR) Mr President, Mr President of the Commission, Mr Westendorp, in two and a half minutes I would like to say two things.
Der er ikke tale om at sætte spørgsmålstegn ved den fælles valuta og de konvergenskriterier, der gør den mulig.
I do not know if you will listen to me, Mr Santer, because you are a bit too ready to say that anyone who starts asking questions is frightened.
Men man kan ikke lade det forblive ved en snævert monetaristisk vision af Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union.
I do not think I have the image of a frightened person, but all the same I do ask myself one fundamental question.
Der er nogen, der påstår, at der ikke er grund til at ændre Traktaten i den anledning, og at det er tilstrækkeligt, at der findes politisk vilje til at gøre noget ved det.
Even if you are right, and I will go further, even if we are all right about the single currency, the reaction of the French government to its political problems shows that the 'make or break' attitude can be suicidal.
Men det er netop, fordi den politiske vilje er vaklende, og fordi Jacques Delors' Hvidbog, der dog er blevet godkendt af Det Europæiske Råd. stadig ikke anvendes, at det er nødvendigt at nedfælde en forpligtelse i traktaten om at styrke Den Økonomiske Union og give den et prioriteret mål, nemlig beskæftigelsen.
In other words, the question we have to ask ourselves is not just whether we are right, but whether we are capable, capable in terms of political imagination, of getting our policy not only accepted, but also supported by the public we represent. That is where my doubts lie.
De iblandt os. der ønsker, at denne konference skal tage fat på sande reformer, bør nu begynde at overbevise ikke blot medlemsstaterne men også den offentlige mening om det velbegrundede i disse argumenter.
Deep disappointment, because electoral promises to cut taxes and boost the economy, the only factors capable of reducing unemployment, have been sacrificed on the altar of the single European currency.
Hvis konferencen ikke fører til noget resultat, eller hvis den ligesom bjerget barsler med en mus, så vil det rem faktisk og helt sikkert være begyndelsen til enden for Unionen, sådan som vi gerne så den.
After a few months' hesitation, the French government gave in to monetarist idolatry and has been led astray into a policy of reducing demand, destroying the hopes of recovery which appeared at the time of the Presidential Election.
En udvidelse til 27 uden forudgående større reformer vil lamme Unionen, så den til sidst vil svinde hen og omdannes til en simpel frihandelszone, hvor de fælles politikker indskrænkes af mangel på finansiering og politisk vilje, inden de forsvinder helt.
The extra taxes and social security contributions just decided on will obviously have a pronounced recessionary effect, dragging France and the French people down into a spiral of unemployment and taxation, while the deficits remain the same.
På det sociale område var hele gruppen på nær en repræsentant enige om at indlemme den sociale protokol i Traktaten, og mange medlemmer ønskede, at der arbejdedes mere intensivt for den sociale dimension.
In France we have had one austerity plan after another since 1977; the first was the Barre plan.
Lad os være bevidste om faren.
That is the problem.
Der gælder også overlevelsen af det. der er nået i Fællesskabet, og den solidaritet, som vi har skabt i de sidste fyrre år. Vi kan ikke afvise udvidelsen, men vi kan heller ikke risikere at se denne udvidelse lamme og udvande Unionen.
We are trying to use austerity to inspire Europe, when austerity policies have not solved the problem of unemployment, or even made an inch of progress either in Germany or in France.
Hvis vi sammen ønsker al gøre noget ved disse to udfordringer, må vi slås for at få den offentlige mening til at forstå, hvad der står på spil. og for at 1996-konferencen vil være på højde med situationen.
That is why I tell you sincerely that we should be careful, because, with the best will in the world, a 'make or break' policy threatens to break up Europe.
Lad os med høj og klar stemme kræve, at de absolut nødvendige afgørelser bliver truffet inden udvidelsen.
Those who claim that economic policy in France has nothing to do with the Maastricht Treaty are not telling the truth.
Lad os ikke give op og lad os så bedømme konferencen efter dens resultaler.
They pretend to be Gaullists but they are actually implementing the policy of Jean Monnet and Jacques Delors.
Et stort flertal i gruppen er enige med Parlamentet om. at enstemmighed bør erstattes af afstemninger ved kvalificeret flertal, som bør blive reglen i forbindelse med lovgivningsmæssige beslutninger.
People who do not say yes straight away to the single currency, even if they are in favour of it, as I am, are not frightened; perhaps they are intelligent philosophers. phers.
Carlos Westendorp, for et konstruktivt og venskabeligt samarbejde samt forde muligheder, han har indrømmet Europa-Parlamentet.
The peoples of Europe have interests too divergent to accept that their fate should be decided by committees sheltering behind the markets to hide their powerlessness and their disagreements.
For det var i begyndelsen jo ikke en selvfølge, at medlemmerne fra Europa-Parlamentet kunne spille en ligeberettiget rolle her. Det har vi hovedsagelig hr. Westendorp at takke for.
Does anyone imagine that a European Council or a European Central Bank, ruling through a majority of Member States, can apply an economic and monetary policy which corresponds to the interests of nations as diverse as Finland. Greece.
Derfor burde vi fremover også tale om Westendorpgrappen i stedet for Refleksionsgruppen.
The social movements in France express a profound mistrust about the plan for the single European currency, a currency that is seriously in doubt, despite official declarations from the Madrid Council, and in particular from the French govern ment, that it will be established in 1999, or even by 2002.
Et stort flertal var ligeledes enige om at udvide proceduren med fælles beslutningstagning og forenkle den, således som vi har bedt om.
Sánchez García (ARE). — (ES) Mr President, Mr Westendorp, Mr Santer, ladies and gentlemen, in the first place, and in view of what the Spanish Government has accomplished in this second half of 1995, I should like to congratulate those responsible on their work in face of the Community's political challenges which they have had to contend with, and in spite of the internal political problems which have characterized Spanish life over the past few months.
Også på disse to punkter modsatte en repræsentant sig igen enhver forandring.
It is our impartial view that you have steered the Community ship on the right course although there are still some miles to go to bring it to a safe haven.
Elisabeth Guigou og jeg har i løbet af denne tid etableret et godt forhold til repræsentanterne for regeringerne og udenrigsministrene og på vore rejser et godt forhold lil de nationale parlamenter, således at der på dette grundlag er opstået et
But at the same time we stress that greater transparency is needed in identifying the daily problems which worry citizens, as Mr Westendorp has just quite rightly pointed out in his speech. We must not therefore wonder that citizens demand greater clarity
Med hensyn til Parlamentet var gruppen næsten enstemmigt for at støtte vor holdning, nemlig om igen at tage fat på tre procedurer: den samstemmende udtalelse, der vil blive udvidet til også at gælde for forfatningsmæssige beslutninger;
Europe acted incoherently and hastily in recognizing the independence of some states of the former Federation, and was not ready to take action at the first signs of what has become a terrible civil war; it did not give firm enough support to the numerous, sometimes contradictory peace plans put
Brok kan handle, samtidig som de hidtil neutrale og alliancefri stater har mulighed for at medvirke inden for rammerne af deres muligheder.
One special success of his chairmanship of the group was in introducing from the outset the three chapter headings to what was to be our work.
