På den anden side forelægger han os en stabilitetspagt, som har fået tilføjet ordet »vækst«, selv om der ikke er noget i pagten, der står i forbindelse med vækst, kun med stabilitet, hvilket potentielt underminerer enhver foranstaltning, vi kan træffe for at fremme forskning og udvikling, uddannelsessystemer eller vækst.
As regards the budget, I am not yet sure what the position is. However, it is my belief that we have the law on our side, since the Council's legal advisors are still searching, somewhat desperately, for a legal basis on which to resolve the issue, and I think they could end up by falling in with our proposals.
Som kommissæren ved, kan stabilitetspagten, hvis den anvendes forkert, være yderst deflatorisk, mindske væksten og øge arbejdsløsheden.
Finally, today we wish to congratulate the Commission which has succeeded in making sure that budgetary surveillance is exercised in the future not only on a country-by-country basis but also in the European Union as a whole.
Det er derfor, jeg kræver, at Kommissionens påtager sig sit ansvar i henhold til Traktaten om Den Europæiske Union, således at denne stabilitetspagt ikke anvendes af de kræfter i Rådet af Økonomi- og Finansministre, som ønsker at underminere skabelsen af beskæftigelse i Den Europæiske Union.
This is a major achievement if we are to have a budgetary overview of the European Union and will be particularly useful for us in the multilateral macroeconomic dialogue to be conducted with the European Union's main partners.
Hvis vi ønsker at få vækst og stabilitet i Den Europæiske Union, skal vi fremme investeringerne. For øjeblikket
I have heard - and I find this quite incomprehensible - that there was talk in the Socialist Group of postponement or referral back to committee.
Jeg mener at kunne sige, at det i forhandlingerne tegner til, at Rådet muligvis vil imødekomme os på to punkter,
In effect, I could give a very short speech because I agree entirely with what was said by Mr von Wogau.

No 4-501/15
Vedrørende spørgsmålet om den såkaldte gyldne investeringsregel kan vi støtte henvisningerne til artikel 104 C i de relevante artikler inden for rammerne af den multilaterale overvågning.
Cox of the so-called golden rule on investment, we can support references to Article 104(c) in the relevant paragraphs within the multilateral surveillance proposition.
Giansily (UPE). - (FR) Fru formand, mine damer og herrer, i forbindelse med dette vigtige emne finder jeg det nødvendigt at henlede opmærksomheden på nogle helt enkle principper.
In Noordwijk, there was the usual meeting with yourself as President of the European Parliament, followed by a short discussion.
Efter at have sikret yderligere tilsagn fra Rådet og i erkendelse af, at stabilitets- og vækstpagten er af særdeles stor betydning for ØMU, vil min gruppe under ingen omstændigheder være rede til at udsætte afstemningen i morgen.
As we saw in Noordwijk, there are still a number of difficult issues to be resolved before we get to Amsterdam, which is where we still expect to conclude the Intergovernmental Conference.
Den største udfordring, vi står over for i størstedelen af medlemslandene, er arbejdsløsheden. En forudsætning for at forbedre beskæftigelsessituationen er større vækst, og denne kan ikke dekreteres. Vækst er et resultat af sunde parametre.
On the Stability Pact, the Liberal Group welcomes the emphasis placed by Parliament on the need for interest on deposits and on fines which arise under this pact to be, in principle, assigned to own resources.
Offentlige underskud har aldrig skabt beskæftigelse, ellers skulle vi nok have hørt om det, og vi ville desuden i så fald befinde os i en situation med overbeskæftigelse. Situationen i USA og Holland er oplysende i den henseende.
Under no circumstances, having secured additional commitments from the Council and recognizing the critical importance of the Stability and Growth Pact to EMU, will my group be prepared to postpone the vote tomorrow.
Formanden. - Vi afbryder nu forhandlingen under ét.
President. - The debate is adjourned.
Den vil blive genoptaget efter forhandlingen om resultaterne af mødet i Det Europæiske Råd den 23. maj 1997.
It will be resumed after the debate on the European Council meeting of 23 May 1997.
Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er en beretning fra Rådet og en redegørelse fra Kommissionen om resultaterne af Det Europæiske Råd den 23. maj 1997.
However, generally speaking the Heads of Government felt that the Conference had made excellent progress, and the round-table discussions looked at a number of differ ent subjects.
I sidste instans er det produktivitetsstigningen, som mulig gør vækst, og udviklingen med hensyn til lønniveau og offentlige underskud må også fremover følges opmærksomt.
These are all areas where the presidency has the impression, especially having heard what was said at Noordwijk, that the Conference is largely in agreement.
Af alle de ovennævnte grunde er de tekster, der nu er genstand for forhandling, af allerstørste betydning for Den Økonomiske og Monetære Unions fremtid.
This is not to say, of course, that there is not still a good deal of fine-tuning going on, but this is what you would expect when the time comes for the politicians to hand their work over to others, particularly lawyers.
I den forbindelse kan det uformelle rådsmøde i april, som var en succes, siges at være juridiske musikledsagelse til de beslutninger, der blev vedtaget på Det Europæiske Råds møde i Dublin i december 1996.
President. - The next item is the Council report and Commission statement on the results of the European Council meeting of 23 May 1997.
Patijn, formand for Rådet. - (NL) Hr. formand, jeg takker Dem mange gange for, at jeg har lov at være til stede her i dag.
Patijn, President-in-Office of the Council. - (NL) Mr President, I am most grateful to you for allowing me to come here today.
Dette er første gang, at jeg må optræde i Deres nye bygning. Jeg håber, at Den Europæiske Unions fremtid ser lige så blomstrende ud som Deres nye bygning.
This is the first time that I have spoken in your new building, and I only hope that the future of the European Union looks as flourishing as your accommodation! modation!
Det er vores overbevisning, at det er bydende nødvendigt, at Europa-Parlamentet snarest muligt vedtager de foreliggende forslag til forordning om uforholdsmæssigt store underskud og styrkelse af overvågningen og samordningen af de økonomiske politikker, således at de færdigbehandlede tekster kan foreligge i god tid før topmødet i Amsterdam.
I would point out that it also became clear at Noordwijk that agreement has yet to be reached on a number of issues, particularly the communitization of the free move ment of persons, the integration of the Western European Union into the European Union, and flexibility. There is as yet no political agreement on any of these issues.
Jeg vil afgive en kort beretning om Det Europæiske Råds uformelle møde, som fandt sted den 23. maj i år i Noordwijk. Det eneste samtaleemne var regeringskonferencen.
Never theless, it appeared from the general assessment made by the Heads of Government at Noordwijk that there was a clear political will, already seen at the conference at The Hague on 20 May and now confirmed in Noordwijk on 23 May, to bring the IGC to a successful conclusion with an Amsterdam Treaty at the Amsterdam summit.
I betragtning af den uformelle karakter forelå der ikke nogen formelle dokumenter, og der blev heller ikke draget nogen konklusioner.
It was also clearly stated, much to our appreciation, that thanks to the documents put forward by the presidency, there was also a very real prospect of actually producing this Treaty.
Det betyder ikke, at Det Europæiske Råds uformelle møde ikke var forberedt.
I should like to give you a brief report on the informal meeting of the European Council held in Noordwijk on 23 May.
Vi tilslutter os samtlige de relevante forslag, både vedrørende ERM 2, stabilitetspagten og procedurerne efter artikel 103, stk. 5, og artikel 104 C, ligesom vi naturligvis fuldt ud tilslutter os hr. Christodoulous kvalitetsbetænkninger.
The only subject on the agenda was the Intergovernmental Conference, and in view of the informal nature of the meeting there were no official documents for discussion and no conclusions were reached. However, this does not mean that no preparations were made.
Fru formand, mine damer og herrer, hvad angår den foreslåede procedure for nedbringelse af uforholdsmæssigt
These are areas where the presidency has always hesitated to spell its ideas out in specific provisions or proposals, because we could only ever really guess at what the eventual consensus might be.
Formandskabet havde på grundlag af forhandlingerne indtil nu lejlighed til omkring en uge inden Det Europæi-
The text, and indeed the overall situation in the negotiations, were discussed in advance at an informal meeting of the group of personal representatives which was held in Houthem near Maastricht on 16 and 17 May.
Patijn ligt sagt, at der - og det er vi taknemlige for - på grundlag af materiale, som formandskabet har forelagt, også er udsigt til denne Amsterdam-traktat.
Patijn their Commissioners, in agreement - I say agreement, but I cannot think of the precise legal term - with the President. So there will be consultation and agreement on the appointment of Commissioners.
Selv om dette papir ikke havde nogen status, gav det dog et klart fingerpeg til de kontraherende parter om, hvor vi stod, og hvilken vej vi nu bør fortsætte på grundlag af formandskabets forslag.
The offer was taken up by the President of the IGC, Mr van Mierlo, who was authorized by his colleagues to negotiate on this.
Denne tekst er drøftet i forvejen, i hvert fald hele billedet af forhandlingerne, på et uformelt møde i gruppen af personlige repræsentanter, som fandt sted i Houthem ved Maastricht den 16. og 17. maj.
What I would like to tell you now is that this is still the intention of the high contracting parties at the IGC, and that as far as I am concerned, the results of the first exploratory talks that you and I have held have been extremely encouraging.
For en stor del har Deres repræsentanter for Europaparlamentet kunnet deltage deri.
I would like to thank you once again for the initiative you took three weeks ago in the Council of Ministers.
Jeg vil ikke undlade at nævne dette, fordi det hører til en af de faste dele af Det Europæiske Råd.
(Applause) President. - Thank you very much, Mr Patijn.
Det har også vist sig i Noordwijk.
You have the floor, Mr Oreja.
Bortset fra denne almene runde har man i Noordwijk også beskæftiget sig med en række delemner. De vedrører navnlig institutionelle emner.
The European Council also clearly wants the internal organization of the Commission to be rationalized in future, though this has yet to be fleshed out.
Det er emner, som egentlig har fået formandskabet til at tøve indtil nu med at fastlægge sine resultater i faste traktattekster eller forslag, fordi der for os stadig var en masse gætteværk med hensyn til, hvad den endelige overensstemmelse omtrent kunne omfatte.
The broad outlines have already been developed by the current Commission and have met with general approval at the IGC, particularly the idea that the President should have more say in the allocation and distribution of portfolios.
Det drejer sig i første række om Kommissionens effektivitet og sammensætning.
We also need to examine, though this has not yet been discussed in detail, whether he should be given some kind of rights in this respect, but this is not clear at the moment.
På dette punkt har udvekslingen af synspunkter i Amsterdam givet et meget tydeligt politisk signal, som formandskabet taknemligt godkender, og som navnlig vedrører styrkelsen af kom missionsformandens rolle i ledelsen, bl.a. den politiske, af denne vigtige europæiske institution.
Oreja Aguirre, Member of the Commission. - (ES) Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, ladies and gentlemen, barely three weeks from the European Council in Amsterdam, where the Intergovernmental Conference must conclude its work, this is a good moment for assessing the progress made so far and to reflect on the objectives of the Conference following the recent informal European Council in Noordwijk.
Der var absolut enighed om, at et vigtigt element til styrkelse af Kommissionens effektivitet og legitimitet i hvert fald under om stændigheder, hvor antallet af medlemsstater konstant udvides engang i det næste århundrede, at denne styrkelse af formandens rolle bestemt var nødvendig.
Fourteen months on from the Turin Council, I should like to point out the commonsense of the contribution made by three 'actors'.
Det er også detaljeret anført - juristerne hos os kan simpelthen skrive det op punkt for punkt, hvordan denne styrkelse bør finde sted - at Det Europæiske Råd udnævner kommissionsformanden i fire til fem på hinanden følgende faser.
What is less clear is what exactly should be done about the size and composition of the Commission. There has been a very frank discussion on how to contain the political risk which this represents, since it has grown to become the most politically sensitive issue for the Member States at the IGC.
Denne udnævnelse skal derefter bekræftes og godkendes af Dem, Europa-Parlamentet.
The possibility raised during the discussion that some Member States might no longer be represented on the Commission in future, but would have to take part in rotation, met with considerable opposition from a number of them.
Dernæst indtræder den fase, hvor medlemsstaterne i overensstemmelse - og nu bruger jeg ordet i overensstemmelse, men den præcise juridiske udformning må jeg stadig søge - med formanden udnævner deres kommissær.
It became clear that this issue presented a considerable threat to the entire outcome of the IGC if it was not handled very carefully and resolved to the satisfaction of all the Member States.
Der er således samråd med hensyn til udnævnelsen af kommissærer, og der er overensstemmelse derom. Med undtagelse af medlemsstaternes beføjelser til at udpege disse kommissærer bør hele Kommissionen endnu en gang godkendes og legitimeres, i hvert fald i overført betydning, af Europa-Parlamentet for der at få godkendelsen.
First of all, the successive Presidencies of the Council, in particular the Dutch Presidency, whose document presented at the meeting of personal representatives in Houtem is, in my view, probably the likeliest to be accepted by the governments and the minimum acceptable by public opinion; for that I must, in particular, congratulate Mr Patijn on his work, without whose determination it would probably have been impossible to reach these results.
Det er også tydeligt, at Det Europæiske Råd ønsker, og det vil vi også udforme, at Kommissionens interne organisation i fremtiden rationaliseres.
Secondly, the Opinion of the Commission of 28 February 1996, which is a point of reference for expectations for the Conference.
Ideerne med henblik herpå har denne nuværende Kommission allerede selv udviklet globalt, og disse godkendes i al almindelighed af regeringskonferencen, og navnlig får formanden en stærk rolle med hensyn til tildeling og fordeling af porteføljer.
The indication at Noordwijk was that this issue should not be pushed too far, which may imply that the decision on the size and composition of the Commission will be left until the time comes in the accession procedure when it has to be settled.
Vi må også se, om der, men det er endnu ikke færdigforhandlet, er tale om en slags udpegelsesret, som han måske kunne få, men det er endnu ikke tydeligt på nuværende tids punkt.
The real problem comes if three, five or six countries are admitted and they all want their own Commissioner, and it is clearly seen as an option to defer the decision until that time.
Der blev nævnt: Den bedre forankring af menneskerettighederne i Traktaten, indførelsen af et ikke-diskrimineringsprincip, et kapitel om beskæftigelse, genindførelse og styrkelse af den sociale protokol og ophævelse af det britiske forbehold over for denne, et nyt juridisk grundlag for åbenhed og gennemsigtighed, konsolidering af Europa-Parlamentets lovgivende rolle og også forenkling af procedurer, udvidelse af Domstolens jurisdiktion navnlig i den tredje søjle, samt bekæmpelse af svig.
Thirdly, I should in particular like to mention the importance and constructive contribution of the European Parliament, its representatives, Mrs Guigou and Mr Brok, and the action taken by the President of the European Parliament, at the Conference of Ministers and the European Council.
Det er en række emner, hvor formandskabet har indtryk af, også efter at have hørt bemærkningerne fra Noordwijk, at regeringskonferencen er tæt på overensstemmelse.
Now, at the risk of stating the obvious, I should like to reiterate the reasons for which the Intergovernmental Conference was convened in the first place.
Jeg vil udtrykkeligt nævne, at det i Noordwijk også viste sig, at der stadig ikke er overensstemmelse om en række sager.
A great deal of time, within the constraints that very busy people always face, was spent discussing the issue of reweighting votes and the qualified majority.
Det vedrører navnlig kommunautariseringen af den frie bevægelighed for personer.
It was clear that a considerable number of Heads of Government regard it as extremely important to find a fair and acceptable solution to this question, bearing in mind that the majorities to be obtained must be seen to be legitimate. Agreement has yet to be reached on the method to be used.
Det vedrører integrationen af Den Vesteuropæiske Union i Den Europæiske Union samt fleksibilitet.
Some Member States are in favour of a double weighting or ratio, while others support a reweighting of the votes within the Council.
Det er der stadig ingen politisk overens stemmelse om.
There are all sorts of variations, on which no decision has been taken.
Mindre tydeligt er det, hvordan omfanget og sammensætningen af Kommissionen nu præcist skal være.
Finally, Mr President, there is something that is not directly connected to the European Council but follows on from what you said at the beginning of your address to the Council of Ministers three weeks ago.
Der har på dette punkt været en meget åben politisk udveksling af synspunkter om kontrollen med den politiske risiko ved dette emne, fordi dette under regeringskonferencen har udviklet sig til det mest politisk følsomme emne i med lemsstaterne.
You proposed that the Intergovernmental Conference should not make for eign policy spending compulsory expenditure, and you offered to enter into an interinstitutional agreement on behalf of Parliament to regulate relations on this issue.
Det blev tydeligt, at man hermed løb betydelige politiske risici for hele resultatet, hvis dette ikke ville blive ordnet overordentlig omhyggeligt og til alle medlemsstaters tilfredshed.
Would you therefore allow me to concentrate on the future: where are we going? Where is the Conference heading at this moment in time?· How great is the ambition of the future Treaty?
For det første de successive rådsformandskabers indsats og ganske særligt det nederlandske formandskabs, hvis dokument, der blev forelagt på mødet af personlige repræsentanter i Houtem, formodentlig er det maksimalt acceptable for regeringerne og det minimalt acceptable for offentligheden, og navnlig vil jeg udtrykke påskønnelse af hr. Patijns indsats, uden hvis beslutsomhed det ville have været umuligt at nå til de nuværende resultater.
Europe needs a far-reaching reform, to strengthen its democratic legitimacy, to improve the effectiveness of its institutions, to meet the concerns of its citizens, and to enable us to speak with a single voice in the international arena. Please allow me to recall the way in which the Conference - in my view and that of the Commission - is looking at these aims.
For det andet Kommissionens beretning af 28. februar 1996, som udgør et referencepunkt for konferencens ambitionsniveau. bitionsniveau.
As far as bringing Europe closer to its citizens is concerned, in my view there are two major questions: employment and social policy, and cooperation in judicial and internal matters.
Der er kommet et signal fra forhandlingen i Noordwijk om, at denne sag ikke må få forhandlingerne til at bryde sammen, hvilket kan medføre, at den virkelige beslutningsproces med hensyn til, hvordan spørgsmålet om Kommissionens omfang og sammensætning nu præcist skal klares i fremtiden, at den virkelige beslutningsproces udsættes til det øjeblik, hvor i forbindelse med tiltrædelse tiden er inde til, at det må ske.
Thirdly, integration of Schengen into the Treaty, through a protocol which would make it possible to integrate into the Union strengthened cooperation between various states over the 'Europe of Security' which has been developed so far, as everyone knows, outside the Treaty.
Der er en klar mulighed for at udsætte den virkelige beslutningsproces til dette tidspunkt.
My concern is that, in the run-up to the final negotiation, as a consequence of the difficulties raised by this text, the result might be rather more modest.
Og for det tredje det markante og konstruktive bidrag fra Europa-Parlamentet, fra dets repræsentanter, fru Guigou og hr. Brok, og ganske særligt den indsats, Parlamentets formand har gjort på såvel ministerkonferencen som i Det Europæiske Råd.
If that were the case, that would in some ways dash the expectations of our fellow citizens who would like to enjoy fully effective and greater freedom of circulation within the European Union in order to be able to travel, live or work in another Member State.
Jeg vil nu henlede opmærksomheden på noget, der kan forekomme selvindlysende, nemlig grundene til at regeringskonferencen blev indkaldt.
I think it would be regrettable if the final negotiation were to stumble and frustrate our aims, maintaining the status quo.
Der er endvidere også, inden for de tidsbegrænsninger, som meget travle mennesker nu engang altid forårsager, lagt udførlig vægt på emnet ny stemmevægt og kvalificeret flertal.
Another subject which seems to me to be extraordinarily sensitive for our fellow citizens is that of the protection of public health.
Det er blevet tydeligt, at et stort antal regerings chefer tillægger en god og afbalanceret ordning af denne sag overordendig stor betydning, idet navnlig hele spørgsmålet om legitimiteten af de flertal, der skal dannes, skal garanteres.
In order to enjoy a high level of protection in respect of all Community policies, the main novelty is, in the new Article 129, new judicial bases guaranteeing the adoption of binding rules by a qualified majority and in codecision with the European Parliament.
Der er endnu ikke nogen overensstemmelse om, gennem hvilken metode det skal ske.
I think it is absolutely vital that the European Parliament's full participation in this should be guaranteed.
Nogle medlemsstater er tilhængere af en dobbelt vægt eller en dobbelt nøgle.
Another issue that I would like to mention and which the Presidency of the Council mentioned a few moments ago is 'simplification'.
Andre medlemsstater er udtrykkeligt tilhængere af en ny stemmevægt inden for Rådet.
It seems that we are unable to present clearly the result of the Conference in a Treaty text in which the provisions are merged and restructured.
Der er varianter og mellemvarianter heraf, hvorom der endnu ingen beslutning er truffet.
Unfortunately, we have not achieved this aim.
Spørgsmålet er, om konferencen hidtil har opfyldt disse målsætninger. For at vurdere den aktuelle situation er det nødvendigt med en præcis vurdering af, hvor vi befinder os nu, og hvor vi går hen.
As far as employment is concerned, the Conference's work has led to a so-far positive result, in that there is a consensus among the Member States that the new Treaty should include a chapter on employment.
Det førstnævnte spørgsmål er allerede blevet behandlet af Rådets formand.
In the framework of the Essen Strategy, the inclusion of specific provisions on employment will make it possible to improve the coordination of national policies and will also to consider employment as a question of common interest for all Member States, to facilitate the exchange of experiences and to be more effective in the fight against unemployment throughout the European Union.
