At trække læsset netop under disse omstændigheder kræver mere end bare en ja-holdning, det kan jeg lige tage med, for det er jo en del af den sociale portefølje.
To get something done properly in those circumstances takes a lot more than just a positive attitude, and I mention that because it is part of the social portfolio.
Et eksempel på det er forslaget om hellere at indføre en adfærdskodeks, fordi det i de forgangne år har vist sig, at kvinder og mænd stadigvæk ikke får lige løn for lige arbejde.
One such example is the proposal to set up another code of conduct because it appeared last year that women and men were still not being paid equally.
Det skulle der så komme en adfærdskodeks for, mens vi i Europa dog har en benhård lovgivning på dette punkt!
There must be a code of conduct for that when we have rigorous legislation for it in Europe.
Det er jo at vende tilbage til udgangspunktet.
But that is a little step on the way back.
Jeg troede Kommissionen og kommissærerne skulle være Traktaternes og den eksisterende lovgivnings vogtere.
I thought the Commission and the Commissioners had to be the guardians of our Treaties and of existing legislation.
Nu har De besluttet, hr. Santer, bare at stille Dem selv i spidsen for den arbejdsgruppe, der har ansvar for lige muligheder.
Now you have decided, Mr Santer, to go and take the chair yourself at this working party on equal opportunities.
Jeg spekulerer på, om De ikke er på vej til at stå i spidsen for eller koordinere endog rigtig mange områder; men selvfølgelig, hvis De mener, at De selv kan klare det hele, så vedkommer det jo ikke mig.
I wonder whether you are not going to take the chair or do the coordinating in a great many areas of policy, but if you think you can do the whole lot yourself, that is naturally not my business.
Men hvad jeg dog spekulerer på, er om De så er den, der af sit fulde hjerte kommer til at trække det store lige muligheders læs.
But I do wonder whether you are the man to do this equal opportunities spadework with heart and soul.
Det står indtil videre komplet uklart for mig.
So far I am quite unclear about that.
Et måske endnu vigtigere spørgsmål er: hvem kommer så i sidste ende til at have ansvaret for porteføljen lige muligheder?
A question which is perhaps even more important is, who then will eventually be managing this equal opportunities portfolio?
For det har De egentlig overhovedet ikke sagt noget om. Som hr. Van Velzen allerede sagde, kommer De til Udvalget om Kvinders Rettigheder, eller kommer De i selskab med hr. Flynn, eller kommer De med hele arbejdsgruppen til Udvalget om Kvinders Rettigheder for at drøfte lige muligheder med os?
Because you actually said nothing about that.
Det vil jeg altså virkelig have helt soleklare svar på, før der kan konkluderes klart.
I should like really relevant answers before a firmer conclusion can be reached.
Jeg vil lige kort komme ind på reaktionerne i pressen, som hr. Flynns kabinet og hr. Flynn selv er kommet med efter høringerne.
I should just like to go briefly into the reactions in the press from Mr Flynn's office and from Mr Flynn himself after the hearings.
Han lod vide, at han ikke ville lade radikale feminister gøre ham arbejdet umuligt.
He let it be known that he would not allow his work to be made impossible by radical feminists.
Men hvad er radikale feminister for en størrelse? Er det mig, eller hr. Van Velzen, eller hr. Hughes?
But what are radical feminists?
Og hvad er der egentlig galt med feminister?
What is actually wrong with feminists?
Og selv om hr. Santer har løftet en flig af sløret, har han efter vores mening langt fra afsløret alle sine tanker.
I also agree wholeheartedly — once does not make a habit -with my Flemish fellow Member Willockx, who told th Flemish media some days ago that these hearings had littl political significance; end of Mr Willockx's quotation.
Vi spørger derfor ganske enkelt, hvad det er, hr. Santers ønsker?
Ver unsatisfactory, little political significance, but what does th; mean when we look at it closely?
At blive mere afhængig af Parlamentet og mere selvstændig i forhold til Rådet?
Both those things mean that we should not b opening a discussion here now in the first place about th detailed programme, the separate points of the Commission' programme.
At fastholde en balance og slå bro over disse to organers divergerende synspunkter, når sådanne opstår?
They mean that first we should be devotin attention to the very essence of the Commission and askin what the task and the activity of the Commission may be, ca be, must be.
Eller anerkende, at Rådet fortsat bør spille en fremtrædende rolle i fællesskabsanliggender, uden at Parlamentets rolle dermed anfægtes?
The answer is easy. If the Commission wants evt to avoid being criticised, and the criticism is becoming loude as time goes on, for super-centralism, Eurocratism, then it mu resolutely embark upon another track.
Går hr. Santer ind for, at medlemsstaterne fortsat udøver formandsfunktionen på skift, ja eller nej?
The Commission must not be a European Government, it mu never become that in the future.
Ønsker han et føderalt Europa, et Europa, der er mindre afhængigt af beslutninger truffet på grundlag af enstemmighed mellem medlemsstaterne, eller ønsker han på en række områder at bibeholde mellemstatslige beslutningsprocesser?
If we ever want to achieve healthy Europe and nations healthily cooperating together, if Commission must stop giving the appearance, and not only th appearance, of being the symbol of an ill-fated Europee standardization and levelling.
Men mon der i den grønbog, han agter at forelægge, vil blive indført undtagelses bestemmelser eller vil den begrænse sig til...
So we say 'no' to th Commission, but since it is naturally not impossible that goc measures too may come from the Commission, which we m« naturally approve in the future, I propose to the Commission
Bonde (EDN). — Hr. formand, JuniBevægelsen deltager ikke i EU-Parlamentets forfatningskamp for at blive et rigtigt parlament.
Bonde (EDN). — (DA) Mr President, the June Movement is not taking part in the European Parliament's constitutional struggle to become a real parliament.
Vi er for parlamentarisk demokrati og foreslår, at kommissærerne udnævnes af de nationale parlamenter i stedet for af regeringerne.
We are for parliamentary democracy, and we propose that the Commissioners be nominated by the national parliaments instead of by the governments.
Parlamentet her kan så sige ja eller nej til det samlede resultat, men ikke gøre sig til dommer over kommissærernes holdninger til europæisk integration.
This Parliament can then say 'yes' or 'no' to the overall result, but cannot set itself up as judge over the attitudes of the Commissioners towards European integration.
Der er jo et mønster: den svenske, finske, franske og danske kommissær er blevet kritiseret, fordi de har nægtet at støtte Parlamentets magtkrav.
There is in fact a pattern: the Swedish, Finnish, French and Danish Commissioners have been criticized for having refused to support Parliament's demands for power.
Det er særlig grotesk, at danske Ritt Bjerregaard som tidligere formand for Europabevægelsen, som bekæmper
Most voters in Denmark still find Ritt Bjerregaard too supranational, but here she is too interna tional.
Europa-Parlamentets forhandlinger
Dillen and information.
I Danmark vil de fleste vælgere nok finde Ritt Bjerregaard for overnational, men her er hun altså for mellemstatslig.
Such an assurance, in the form of a clear answer here today, can surely not be too difficult to give, and we are waiting for it.
beslutninger ud i livet, hvor det drejer sig om fælles europæiske interesser. Dette og kun dette er Kommissionens opgave.
Finally, my colleagues will be asking specific questions regarding the exercise of Parliament's rights in the areas of economic and monetary union, foreign policy, and policy on justice and home affairs.
Kritikken af de nordiske kommissærer bør få det danske socialdemokrati til at genoverveje forslaget om, at Parlamentet skal kunne fyre kommissærerne enkeltvis. Hvis det forslag blev gennemført, ville Ritt Bjerregaard jo være den første, der blev fyret, og det overnationale parlament ville blive til et rigtigt parlament.
adjure it, to do at least everything possible to ensure that the language rights of the European peoples who are smaller in numbers are equivalent and equal as official languages, and as working languages too, to the languages of peoples which are larger in number, and the fact that that is necessary has been shown here once more this morning by Wilfried Martens, who in his younger days was the champion of the national struggle in Flanders, who, as chairman of a large group here, has to some extent forsaken and disowned his language.
Den nye Kommission er uegnet til at repræsentere vælgerne i reflektionsgrappen, fordi de fleste vælgere har et andet syn.
A final word, Mr Presidentdesignate, on the code of conduct: the code of conduct governs relations between the Commission and Parliament; the Council has nothing to do with it.
Vi ser gerne et samarbejde mellem vore parlamentariske demokratier om fælles mindsteregler...
I do not wish the intervention of this third partner — for which we have a high regard — to prompt you and the Commission to give up responsibilities which must be borne by the Commission alone.
Cot (PSE). — (FR) Hr. formand, indsættelsesproceduren foregår i tre faser.
Cot (PSE). — (FR) Mr Presidentdesignate, the investiture procedure has been carried out in three stages.
Den første i juli vedrørte formandens gode vilje; den blev overvundet med nød næppe.
The first, which took place in July, concerned the goodwill of the Presidentdesignate.
Den anden i begyndelsen af januar vedrørte de indstillede kommissærers profil og kompetence; vi vurderede dem på forskellig måde.
It was successfully completed —just. The second, at the beginning of January, dealt with the profiles and competence of the Commissioners-designate.
Den tredje i denne uge vedrører Kommissionens forpligtelser.
The third, which is taking place this week, relates to the commitments given by the Commis-
Under høringerne har de indstillede kommissærer ofte nægtet at forpligte sig, idet de har argumenteret for institutionens kollegialitet. Men kollegialitet er ikke uansvarlighed.
My group's confidence in you will depend on the specific answers which, no doubt, you will give the House at the end of this debate.
Chefen er her; det tilkommer ham her og nu at påtage sig de nødvendige forpligtelser.
The leader is here in the Chamber: let him, here and now, give the specific commitments which are required.
Dillen (NI). — (NL) Hr. formand, min kollega, hr. Andrews, har mere end ret.
Christodoulou (PPE). — (EL) Mr President, we have not conducted the hearings procedure correctly.
Forholdet mellem Parlamentet og Kommissionen er imidlertid tabt af syne.
At the same time, I would ask him to give specific answers to the questions which have been raised concerning the conduct of the Commission: its proper conduct, and in fact the code of conduct.
Mon ikke min kollega, hr. Vitorino, i et brev til Parlamentets formand taler for mange parlamentsmedlemmer, når han skriver: »Da Europa- Parlamentet ikke har mulighed for at afvise udnævnelsen af et enkelt medlem, er sådanne høringer højst utilfreds stillende«, Det er jeg rørende enig med ham i.
The basic rule which we wish to be applied is respect for democracy: respect for the will of Europe's voters, whom we represent in this House; and, in particular, respect for that will when it is expressed by a qualified majority, reflecting a broad parliamentary consensus. Let us have clear answers to the questions which have been raised.
Grundreglen, som vi beder om overholdelse af, er demokrati.
In similar situations in the future we will be much better equipped to deal with the matter and I would like to believe that the lessons we have learned from this procedure will be useful in times to come.
Respekt for de europæiske vælgeres vilje — som vi repræsenterer her — især respekt for denne vilje, når den udtrykkes ved et kvalificeret flertal, der afspejler en bred parlamentarisk consensus.
Much more important, certainly, is what President Santer said, namely that he would consider the possibility of conducting the hearings ad person am in future, and also the subject of reviewing the code of conduct, which is more important than anything else.
Klare svar på de spørgsmål, som melder sig for at gentage den formel, som De selv, hr. Santer, brugte lige før.
Mr President, there are a number of points to which I would like to draw the Commission's attention.
De gode hensigter er ikke længere tilstrækkelige.
The first concerns this effort to increase employment.
Vi må have et klart svar på det første spørgsmål: Tilbagetrækning af et forslag, der er afvist af Parlamentet med et kvalificeret flertal og genoptagelse af ændringer vedtaget af Parlamentet med et kvalificeret flertal.
We wish to have a clear answer to the first question, concerning the withdrawal oí a proposal rejected by Parlia ment by a qualified majority, and the acceptance of amend ments adopted by Parliament by a similar majority.
At give vores forslag, som De sagde lige før, den store politiske betydning, som det fortjener, er ikke tilstrækkeligt.
Giving our position the great political importance it deserves, as you said earlier, is not enough.
Det er ikke tænkeligt, at Kommissionen holder fast ved et forslag, som vi forkaster med absolut flertal.
It is inconceivable that the Commission should persist with a proposal which Parliament has rejected by an absolute majority.
Hvad angår vores ændringer, kan de kun undtagelsesvis afvises og med en berettiget motivering.
As for our amendments, they should be rejected only in exceptional cases, and with good reason.
Hvilke proceduregarantier er der?
What procedural guarantees are in place?
Hvilke grundlæggende garantier er der, som De vil give os ud over Deres venlige og generelle erklæring?
What fundamental guarantees can you give the House, besides your general words of friendship?
Det er nødvendigt med et klart svar i dag.
It is essential for us to have a clear answer here today.
Højst utilfredsstillende, kun ringe politisk betydning, men hvad betyder det, alt andet lige.
We must all recognize that the issue of investment in industry can never be dealt with, let us say, in a way that will bring about an immediate increase of employment.
Det betyder hverken mere eller mindre, at der, selv om det mishager nogen, i form af disse høringer faktisk er blevet opført et antal teaterstykker med meget dyr rollebesætning.
Such investment, which enhances the competitiveness of industry, usually results in job losses but in the long term creates much greater employment overall.
Det andet spørgsmål vedrører dereguleringen, tilbagetrækningen af Fællesskabets lovgivning.
The second question concerns deregulation, the rolling-back of Community legislation.
Deregulering er på mode især inden for rammerne af Molitor-gruppen.
Deregulation is fashionable, particularly within the MOLITOR group.
Vi er ikke systematisk imod dette, men vi beder om den samme demokratiske garanti, som for vedtagelse af lovgivningen, det vil sige princippet med den modsatte akt. De kan være sikker på, at dereguleringen vil overholde de regler, som traktaten har givet med hensyn til lovgivning.
We are not systematically opposed to deregulation, but we are calling for the same democratic guarantee that exists in respect of the adoption of legislation: the principle of negative assent.
Det er nødvendigt med et klart svar i dag.
Again, it is essential for us to have a clear answer here today.
Det tredje spørgsmål vedrører medbestemmelsesproceduren.
The second point, Mr President, relates to the budget.
Vi anmoder fra Kommissionens side om ligestilling med Rådet, især ved overførsel af tekster og informationer.
We must take advantage of the opportunity afforded by the 1996 IGC, to adapt the form of the budget to the European Union's new needs.
Europa-Kommissionen må ikke være en europæisk regering, heller ikke i fremtiden, den må aldrig blive det.
We have a very ambitious external policy, and this is bound to have financial consequences.
Endelig vil mine kolleger stille Dem nogle præcise spørgsmål om Parlamentets udøvelse af sine rettigheder på områderne:
We are calling on the Commission for equality of treatment with the Council, especially as regards the forwarding of documents
Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union, udenrigspolitik, inden rigs- og retspolitik.
Finally, Mr President, I want to say something about economic and monetary union.
De vil i dag anmode Dem om klare og præcise svar.
The economic and political aspects have been left behind.
Et sidste ord. Adfærdskodeksen bestemmer forbindelserne mellem Kommissionen og Parlamentet.
Santer, that I am not convinced by your personally promising to take responsibility for equal opportunities in place of Mi Flynn.
Goerens (ELDR). — (FR) Hr. formand, jeg vil ikke skjule, at jeg føler mere end en positiv forhåndsindstilling over for den gruppe, der skal støtte hr. Jacques Santer i de næste fem år.
Goerens (ELDR). — (FR) Mr President. I shall not conceal the fact that I am more than favourably disposed towards the team which is intended to support Mr Jacques Santer over the course of the next five years.
Jeg siger ikke dette, fordi jeg er hr. Santers landsmand, selv om jeg gerne erkender, at min indstilling nødvendigvis er påvirket heraf.
And this is not because 1 am a fellow countryman of Mr Santer — though I will admit that I am inevitably prejudiced by this fact.
Nej, det væsentlige er andetsteds.
No: there is another funda­mental reason.
Lad os ikke tage fejl af debatten og især ikke af målet.
Let us not debate the wrong issue or, above all, set ourselves the wrong objective.
Det tilkommer ikke os at udtale os sag for sag, men kun at give en samlet vurdering af gruppen, som er blevet foreslået os.
It is not this Parliament's job to deliver an opinion on the candidates individually, but only to give a verdict on the proposed college of Commissioners as a whole.
Det kan man beklage, men sådan er spillets regler.
We may not like it, but that is how things are.
For min gruppe vil denne tillid afhænge af de nærmere enkeltheder, som De ikke vil undlade at give os om lidt.
Could we imagine such an impressive result, if the members of any of our governments were to be subjected to a similar examination by their national parliament?
Den gruppe, der er foreslået af hr. Santer, giver tillid af den simple grund, at man sjældent har set en så stærk koncentration af personligheder i første række stræbe efter hvervet som europæisk kommissær.
At the same time, I am obliged to tell you that the nev Commission must outline a new framework of relations witi the European Parliament.
Når alt kommer til alt, har mere end 3/4 af de foreslåede kandidater, bestået adgangseksamen, de fleste for øvrigt med juryens lykønskninger.
The previous Commission include some who are also in the new Commission, and who consi dered their portfolio to be their own personal realm.
Kan man forestille sig et lige så udtryksfuldt resultat i tilfælde af, at en hvilken som helst af vores nationale regeringer var forpligtet til at lade sig udsætte for den samme prøve for sit nationale parlament?
The showed arrogance and contempt towards Parliament. We mu* tell you. therefore, that both in that respect and where th Commission's financial transparency is concerned, the whii pers are multiplying, facts and figures are accumulating, an unless you personally, and every Commissioner in his ow sector, produce some explanations quite soon, you will have t give those explanations here in Parliament.
Den blev hastet igennem, vi havde ikke tid nok, og i flere tilfælde gav den interne procedure ikke mulighed for en egentlig dialog, for ikke at tale om det paradoks, at vi har behandlet Kommissionen som en helhed, mens offentliggørelsen af skrivelserne har gjort det til person spørgsmål og givet sagen en helt anden karakter.
I must also tell you that in your speech I was struck by the fae that while you spent a lot of time telling us how you intend t exercise your responsibilities, how you will manage th Commission's finances, we heard nothing else about Europe, heard nothing about Europe's cultural heritage or, in partícula its cultural future.
Det er også vigtigt, at Parlamentets tankegang er på linje med vores offentlige mening.
I did not hear you tell us your position on th working languages.
At dumpe en eller anden kandidat på grund af en vis overlegen optræden over for Parlamentet risikerer at have modsat virkning, mens en sådan adfærd — når alt kommer til alt — kun afspejler en vidt udbredt stemning i visse lande.
Beyond a mere mention, we heard nothin specific from you about unemployment, jobs, racism or drug: You dealt with those issues blandly and superficially.
Men dette er også en helt ny procedure for Europa, og jeg tror, vi alle har lært af den.
At the same time, it is important for this Parliament to keep in step with the mood of public opinion in our respective countries.
For eftertiden vil vi være langt bedre til at gribe lignende tilfælde an, og jeg vælger at tro på, at den lektie, vi har lært, vil være til nytte senere hen. Af langt større betydning er hr. Santers udtalelser om, at han vil undersøge, om der for eftertiden kan blive tale om godkendelse af de enkelte kommissærer samt om ændring af adfærdskodeksen.
Rejecting a candidate on the grounds that he or she has displayed some degree of indifference towards this House could be counter­productive, given that — all things considered — such an attitude does no more than reflect a mood which is widespread in a number of our countries.
Dette er vigtigere end alt andet.
We must face facts.
Lad os se realiteterne i øjnene. Vi må vide, at man i visse lande ikke vurderer Parlamentet særlig højt.
We must take account of the fact that, in some Member States, this Parliament is not held in particularly high esteem.
Lad os vise modenhed ved at demonstrere, at vi kan modstå den for lette fristelse at tage de menneskers adfærd for gode varer, der har lyst til at stryge os med hårene.
We must prove our maturity by demonstrating that we can resist the temptation to take at face value the behaviour of those who are happy to stroke our egos.
Det kunne være, at budskabet fra dem, der foreslår os at se os i spejlet, bringer mere for fremtiden.
It may be that the message of those who advise us to look to our own affairs will ultimately be of greater benefit.
Lad os ikke glemme, at den brug, vi gør af vores privilegier, er et væsentligt element, fordi det er bestemmende for vores legitimitet.
Let us not forget that how we use our prerogatives is vitally important, since our legitimacy depends upon it.
Der er et par konkrete punkter, som jeg gerne vil gøre Kommissionen opmærksom på. Det første drejer sig om arbejdet for at fremme beskæftigelsen.
In conclusion, we wish you every success in your task and w will vote for you, but that vote is not tantamount to cart blanche.
Hvis der ikke samtidig tages hensyn til bevarelsen af erhvervslivets konkurrenceevne, vil det have de helt modsatte konsekvenser.
It is a vote that will be monitored daily, on the basis ( what we have told you.
Så det kræver udholdenhed, hvis man vil følge den vej.
That is tr worrying side of the procedure we have followed.
Vi vil derfor blive nødt til at håndtere den finansielle side af Fællesskabet anderledes end nu.
But that has nothing to do wi the quality of the Commissioners.
Stenius-Kaukonen (GUE/NGL). - (FI) Hr. formand, ved høringen i Europa-Parlamentet af de kommende kommissions medlemmer har man forsøgt at tage et lille skridt i retning mod demokratisering af procedurerne.
Stenius-Kaukonen (GUE). ­ (Fl) Mr President, in the hearings for the prospective Commissioners the European Parliament has sought to take a small step in the direction of more democratic operating procedures.
Det er et godt forsøg, men resultaterne er på mange måder svage.
The attempt is a good one, but the results are poor in many areas.
