Og et afgørende element i denne proces er Unionens fælles repræsentation og tilstedeværelse i en vigtig international organisation som FN's Sikkerhedsråd.
If we genuinely make progress towards a common foreign and security policy — which does not initially have to be comprehensive, but could be developed area by area, beginning gradually with the effective establishment of a planning analysis unit on a permanent and coherent basis — then, I believe, we can begin to address this issue, which is undoubtedly an important one.
Crampton (PSE). — (EN) Hr. rådsformand, mange tak for Deres svar til hr. Balfe.
Crampton (PSE). — Mr President-in-Office, thank you very much for your reply to Mr Balfe.
Det gav også svar på nogle af mine spørgsmål.
It has answered some of my questions.
På denne baggrund finder jeg det indlysende, at Unionen får fælles repræsentation og ikke repræsenteres af to medlemmer.
Consequently, as far as the Fifteen are concerned, the Council is confident that their ratification procedures will be completed in the near future.
Jeg vil gerne spørge rådsformanden, om han har drøftet spørgsmålet med Retlektionsgruppen. som han har været formand for.
Similarly, ratification of the convention is mentioned as a top priority in the Union's official addresses in international forums — such as, for example, Spain's speech on behalf of the European Union at the opening of the first United Nations commission.
Men tror De ikke, at de to medlemsstater fra Den Europæiske Union, som er medlemmer af Sikkerhedsrådet — Det Forenede Kongerige og Frankrig — nu 50 år efter 1945 frivilligt bør opgive deres pladser i Sikkerhedsrådet til fordel for Den Europæiske Union?
However, do you not think, 50 years on from 1945, that the two powers who are members of the European Union and also members of the Security Council — the United Kingdom and France — should now voluntarily give up their places on the Security Council in favour of a place for the European Union?
Hvis vi mener det alvorligt med den fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik, må det da være på tide at foretage denne ændring.
If we are serious about a common foreign and security policy, surely it is time to implement this change.
Det er alt sammen udmærket, at Tyskland og Japan skal med, men det ville gøre det hele for stort.
It is all very well to talk about adding Germany and Japan, but that would make the whole thing too big.
Ja, jeg er enig i, at der skal radikale reformer til i Sikkerhedsrådet.
Yes, I accept the Security Council needs radical reform.
Men dette kunne gå forud: de to lande kunne frivilligt opgive deres pladser til fordel for Den Europæiske Union. Kan formanden støtte denne tanke?
But this could come first: we could have two voluntary resignations in favour of the European Union.
Westendorp. — (ES) På Rådets vegne kan jeg kun give det svar, jeg tidligere har givet, nemlig at der ikke findes nogen fælles holdning for så vidt angår Den Europæiske Union, samt at det ikke i De Forenede Nationers Pagt er bestemt, at enheder eller organisationer som f.eks. Den Europæiske Union kan blive medlemmer af FN.
But can I repeat my plea that in the fora in which this is raised, we should try and encourage the ACP states, with whom we have a special relationship, but also use the European Union weight in our dialogue with the United States Congress on the twice-yearly basis, to encourage them to ratify it.
Westendorp. — (ES) Ja. jeg giver hr. Kranidiotis ret i. at svaret ikke er særlig konstruktivt eller fantasifuldt. Dette kan det ikke blive, fordi vi er 15, der skal være enige om svarene.
Westendorp. — (£5) On behalf of the Council, I can add nothing to my previous answers: firstly, the European Union does not have a common position on this matter: and, secondly, the United Nations Charter does not provide that bodies or organizations such as the European Union can become members of the United Nations.
Når dette er tilfældet, er det næsten utænkeligt at være fantasifuld. Men for så vidt angår tanken om, hvorledes en udenrigspolitik bør udformes af et så stort antal lande i Den Europæiske Union har vi i refleksionsgruppen behandlet muligheden for, at Den Europæiske Union kunne få status som folkeretligt retssubjekt.
Finally, you could consider it within Council, particularly with a view to securing the utmost advantage for European Union countries on both jobs in the ruling body, including possible Chair and Vice-Chairs, and also positions for European Union staff within the secretariat so that we can start off our life in this body acting as a group.
Hvad angår det forslag, De stiller om muligheden for afkald, skal dette spørgsmål netop stilles til de faste medlemmer af Sikkerhedsrådet, om de er eller ikke er i stand til at gennemføre dette afkald eller denne turnus.
As far as the honourable Member's suggestion that Europe's two permanent members of the Security Council should resign or give way in favour of the European Union is concerned, he must ask the Member States in question whether they are prepared to take this step.
I øjeblikket står FN-Pagten fast.
For the present, the United Nations Charter is as it stands.
På regeringskonferencen vil dette spørgsmål blive behandlet.
The aim of all our current efforts must be to encourage the maximum number of countries to ratify the convention, in particular two of the most important: Russia and the United States.
Der er helt utvivlsomt tale om et vigtigt emne. og jeg er enig med hr. Kranidiotis, men der er mange andre, vi skal overbevise. vise.
Moreover, the ACP countries, being closely associated with the European Union, will understand the importance of
Formanden. - Spørgsmål nr. 9 af Richard Balfe (H-0855/95): Om: Konventionen om kemiske våben
President. - Question No 9 by Richard Balfe (H-0855/95) Subject: Chemical Weapons Convention
Westendorp delfin, og der sættes net ud efter delfiner, som allerede er på listen over truede bestande. Frankrig har udtrykt ønske om også at undertegne denne erklæring.
Subject: European network of water diversion canals achieving a critical mass sufficient to ensure that the conven­tion enters into force.
Vil Radei oplyse, om individuelle lande har ret til at undertegne fiskeriaftaler som denne?
Do individ­ual countries have the right to sign fishing agreements such as this?
Var Rådet bekendt med. at Spanien agtede at gøre dette, og hvad agter det at gøre?
Was the Council aware that Spain intended to do this and what does it plan to do?
Westendorp, formand for Reidet. — (ES) Vedrørende dette emne udveksler medlemsstaterne inden for rammerne af udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitikken regelmæssigt oplysninger om de nationale procedurer for ratifikation af denne konvention.
Westendorp, President-in-Office of the Council. — (£5) To date, the Council has received no specific proposal from the Commission on a European network of water diversion canals, and as the honourable Member will be aware, without a Commission proposal, the Council is unable to adopt a position.
De medlemsstater, der endnu ikke har ratificeret overens komsten, skulle være i stand til at gøre det meget snart, eftersom de alle er enige om at give ikrafttrædelsen af denne den størst mulige prioritet og finder, at tilstedeværelsen af de 15 lande mellem de stater, som i kraft af deres ratifikation vil gøre denne ikrafttrædelse mulig, uden tvivl vil være et vigligt politisk signal.
However, it is certainly true that after some 20 years of Community policy on water quality in Europe, it seems time to undertake a fundamental review of the existing legislation.
Westendorp, formand for Rådet. — (ES) De oplysninger, vi har i Rådet, siger, at Panama-erklæringen er el resultal al' et forhandlingsinitiativ taget af miljøgrupper sammen med en række latinamerikanske lande til beskyttelse af delfinerne og tunfiskeriet i den østlige del af Stillehavet.
Westendorp, President-in-Office of the Council. — (ES) According to the information available to the Council, the Panama Declaration derives from an initiative negotiated by environmental groups with a number of Latin American countries for the protection of dolphins in the Eastern Pacific tuna fishery.
Panama-erklæringen er derfor ikke i sig selv nogen bindende international overenskomst.
The Panama Declaration does not in itself, therefore, constitute a binding international agreement.
De deltagende lande forpligter sig herved til al forhandle om en formel aftale, der skal gøre »La Joya-aftalen« af' 1992 bindende, idel denne er frivillig og udløber i 1999.
It commits participating countries to negotiate a formal agreement which would make binding the 1992 La Jolla Agreement, which is voluntary and expires in 1999.
For så vidt angår De Femten, regner vi følgelig bestemt med. at denne ratifikation snarest vil ske. Yderligere kan De være sikker på, at ratifikationen af aftalen om kemiske våben står på dagsordenen for de møder med henblik på en politisk dialog om ikke-spredning, som Unionen med visse mellemrum afholder med sine største partnere.
In the same way as the European Parliament, following its public hearing of 20 June, the Council held an open debate at its meetings of 22 and 23 June, and invited the Commission to draw up guidelines on the principles that ought to shape a future water policy, with a view to achieving greater coherence among the legislative instruments, respecting the principle of subsidiarity, and covering all aspects of water quality, quantity and use.
Spørgsmålet har også meget høj prioritet inden for de officielle indlæg, som Unionen fremkommer med i internationale fora, som f.eks. i den tale. som Spanien holdt på Unionens vegne ved åbningen af det første møde i FN. Dersom denne diplomatiske aktivitet ikke fører til tilstrækkelige og tilfredsstillende resultater, kan Rådet drøfte nye diplomatiske initiativer, som kan føre til det formål.
Subsequently, the Spanish presidency organized for 22 October 1995 an unofficial meeting of the Council devoted entirely to this important issue.
De har nævnt, og som Rådet — jeg gentager — har givet den højeste prioritet inden for sit virke.
According to the Council's information, the Commission has undertaken to submit a formal communication along these lines at the start of next year.
Rådet mener, at underskrivelsen af en international aftale lil beskyttelse af levende ressourcer i havet vil høre under Fællesskabets kompetence i medfør af Rådets forordning nr. 3760/92.
The Council is of the opinion that the signing of an interna­tional agreement to protect living marine resources would fall under Community competence under Council Regulation No 3760/92.
Som følge herafer det Kommissionen, der i overens stemmelse med bestemmelserne i Traktatens artikel 185 skal sikre gennemførelsen af bestemmelserne i Traktaten og de midler, der vedtages af institutionerne i forbindelse hermed.
It is therefore for the Commission, pursuant to Article 185 of the EC Treaty, to ensure that the provisions of the Treaty and the measures taken by the institutions pursuant thereto are applied.
Crampton (PSF]). — (EN) Jeg er lidi forvirret.
Crampton (PSE). — I am a little bit confused.
Jeg takker rådsformanden for hans svar. men betyder det, at de enkelte EU-lande kan underskrive aftaler, som er bindende?
I thank the President-in-Office for his reply, but does that imply that individual European Union countries can sign agreements which are binding?
Hvem er de bindende for?
Who are they binding on?
Er de bindende for hele Den Europæiske Union?
Are they binding on the whole of the European Union?
Men jeg vil gerne gentage min opfordring om. at vi i de fora. hvor sagen kommer op, bør opfordre AVS-landene, som vi har et særligt forhold til, men også bruger Den Europæiske Unions vægt i vores halvårlige dialog med den amerikanske kongres, til at opfordre dem til at ratificere den.
Izquierdo Collado (PSE). — (£5) Mr Westendorp, I recognize that that was the kind of answer which the Council presidency usually gives, but you will also recognize that my question referred specifically to the possibility of creating a network of water diversion canals to link up different European river basins.
Men forpligter vi i Den Europæiske Union os til at underskrive noget, som reni faktisk vil betyde, at flere delfiner vil dø i drivgarnene? Vi taler formentlig om drivgarnsfiskeri eller delfiner med denne snurpenotmetode.
But are we in the European Union committing ourselves to actually signing something that is going to kill more dolphins in the driftnets?
Underskriver vi en aftale, som rent faktisk vil sla tiere delfiner ihjel, og støtter vi det?
Are we signing an agreement that is actually going to kill more dolphins and we are supporting that?
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 11 af Juan Izquierdo Collado (H-0876/95):
It can be said that a step forward was taken at the unofficial meeting of the Environment Council in Seville, at which it was
Westendorp. — (ES) Jeg tror ikke. at der vil blive problemer fra Den Europæiske Unions side.
Westendorp. — (ES) There appears to be some confusion here.
Men jeg står fortsat fast på, at vort diplomatiske virke for så vidt angår både Rusland og USA følger lige efter, og de forslag, der er stillet af hr. Balfe, forekommer mig konstruktive og gennemførlige.
As I said before, the signatories to this declaration, to this initiative, are Belize, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Venezuela, Vanuatu and the United States of Ameri­ca.
Om: Panama-erklæringen
For the present, no European Union country has signed this declaration.
Formanden til drikkevand og lil vanding samt til industrielt og miljømæssigt brug?
Westendorp agreed that the new Community water policy should address the issues of water quantity as well as quality.
Men jeg kan ikke sige, hvad Rådets endelige beslutning kommer til at gå ud på.
This is the background against which the Employment and Social Affairs Council of 5 December 1995 noted information on progress on the amended proposal for a decision.
Westendorp, formand for Rådet. — (ES) Rådet har endnu ikke fra Kommissionen modtagel noget konkret forslag om et europæisk nel af kanaler til omledning af vand. og som De ved. kan Ràdei ikke udiate sig. uden al der foreligger el forslag fra Kommissionen.
The Spanish presidency is very interested in this matter, and we hope the Commission will be sufficiently conscious of its importance to submit the necessary proposals. However, I am unable to tell you now what the Council's final decision will be.
Del. der står fast. er at øjeblikket nu er inde til en grundlæggende revision af den eksisterende lovgivning efter ca. 20 års fællesskabspolitik for vandkvaliteten i Europa.
Given the importance of this matter to the regions of southern Europe suffering a water shortage, however, I am sure that it will be studied in some depth, and I am optimistic that a solution will be found in the not too distant future.
Falconer (PSE). — (EN) Jeg vil gerne stille et spørgsmål vedrørende de generelle spørgsmål, rådsformanden var inde på.
Falconer (PSE). — I wish to address my question to the general points made by the President-in-Office.
Jeg kan forsikre min spanske kollega om, at der findes en overflod af vand i Skotland, som er offentligt ejet og offentligt kontrolleret.
I can assure my colleague from Spain that there is an abundance of water in Scotland which is publicly owned and publicly controlled.
Det vil ikke blive flyttet fra Skotland til de hårdt ramte områder i England og andre steder, som desværre kontrolleres af den private sektor.
It will not be drifting from Scotland to the hard-up regions of England and elsewhere which are unfortunately under private sector control.
Som mine kolleger har erfaret i Yorkshire, lækker 807c afvandet fra vandledningerne i stedet for at blive brugt som drikkevand til befolkningen.
As my colleagues have experienced in Yorkshire, 80% of this leaks from the mains rather than being used as fresh water for public use.
I sidste ende skaber det større profit for nogle få direktører og aktionærer, som malker systemet, til det tørrer ud.
Eventually it ends up boosting the profits of a few directors and shareholders who milk the system dry.
Herefter afholdt det spanske formandskab den 22. okiober 1995 et ikke-officieli mode. der i dets helhed drejede sig om dette viglige spørgsmål.
So, can he give some assessment of the likelihood of the Council agreeing to the current work programme in time for it to be completed early next year?
På delte rådsmøde konkluderes det i overensstemmelse med formandskabets forslag, at Europa har behov for en ny politik på vandområdet, og al denne politik bør udformes på grundlag af de fremskridt, der er gjort i de sidste 20 ar.
If that is not possible, will the Council be likely to support a work programme for co-ops, mutuais and associations, for example, to run from 1997 to 1999, which will take account of the obvious difficulties which some Member States have with the work programme as currently proposed and as previously agreed by Parliament?
Derfor vil jeg gerne opfordre Rådet til at sikre, at der gennemføres en høringsprocedure på det bredest mulige grundlag, og at man i denne høringsprocedure sikrer Fælles skabets regioner, herunder Skotland, som har den eneste offentligt ejede vandforsyning i Fællesskabet, og deres interesser en fremtrædende plads.
Therefore. I wish to urge the Council to make sure that the widest consultation will take place and that in the various forms of consultation the interests of the regions of the Community, including Scotland which has the only publicly owned and distributed water supply left in the Community, are kept to the fore.
Hvis ikke, kan jeg forsikre Dem for, at Skotlands befolkning ikke vil lade deres vand forsvinde noget som helst sled hen.
If not, I can assure you that the people of Scotland will not let their water go anywhere.
Efter de oplysninger. Rådet har. har Kommissionen forpligtet sig lil at fremsende en formel meddelelse herom i begyndelsen af næste år.
Westendorp. — (ES) I wish to tell the honourable Member that I am fairly confident that this decision will be adopted soon, possibly at the beginning of next year, since the positions of the Member States are not irreconcilable.
Westendorp. — (ES) Jeg siger Dem tak for Deres forståelse for den tørke, som områderne i Sydeuropa lider under, og den beredvillighed fra Europa-Parlamentet, som De viser, til at arbejde på hele denne undersøgelse til løsning af dette problem.
Westendorp. — (ES) I wish to thank the honourable Member for his sensitivity towards the problem of drought suffered by the regions of southern Europe, and for his readiness as a Member of the European Parliament to collaborate in the comprehensive efforts to find a solution to this problem.
Som De allerede ved, er vandkvaliteten i Skotland fremragende.
I am aware that the quality of the water in Scotland is excellent.
Der er faktisk foretaget store indkøb af vand i tanke og beholdere, men det er et meget dyrt system.
There have in fact been large-scale purchases of water in tanks and containers; but this is a very expensive system.
Vi kunne oprette et system af net ved en storstilet plan for vandet på europæisk plan. og dette ville være umagen værd, fordi det ville blive den bedste måde. hvorpå visse egne, herunder egne i Nordeuropa, som har vand. men ikke i alle årets måneder, ligeledes kunne få leveret vand fra andre dele af Europa.
Creating a Europe-wide network of water diversion canals would be the best means of ensuring that certain regions — including regions in the north of Europe which have water, but not at all times of the year — are able to obtain water from other parts of Europe.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 12 af Shaun Spiers (H-0846/95):
President. - Question No 12 by Shaun Spiers (H-0846/95)
Om: Flerårigt arbejdsprogram til fordel for andelsselskaber, gensidige selskaber, foreninger og fonde
Subject: Multiannual programme of work on cooperatives, mutual societies, associations and foundations
Westendorp. — (ES) Jeg vil personlig sige Dem. al Spanien — ikke Ràdei, men Spanien — lægger meget stor vægl på delte spørgsmål, fordi det er af stor betydning for de europæiske områder, ikke blot i Spanien og den sydlige del af mil land. men i andre sydeuropæiske lande, der lider af mangel på vand. områder, som utvivlsomt vil få nytte af omledninger fra områder med overskud af vand og netop et europæisk omledm'ngsnei.
Colombo Svevo (PPE). — (IT) I merely wish, through the presidency, to remind the other members of the Council that by stalling this programme, they are in fact blocking one of the instruments currently available to us for creating jobs, which in turn means running counter to objectives which we ourselves have set.
Det flerårige arbejdsprogram til fordel for andelsselskaber, gensidige selskaber, foreninger og fonde (1994-1996) blev vedlaget af Parlamentet i marts 1995 med et stort flertal.
In this context, I should like to know what stage has been reached regarding the statutes of cooperatives, associations and mutual societies.
Kan Rådet oplyse, hvorfor man endnu ikke er nået til enighed?
Westendorp. — (£5) That is a difficult question to answer.
Agter Rådet at sikre snarest mulig gennemførelse heraf?
It would require me to make a statement that would exceed the time at my disposal.
Del er tilfredsstillende at tænke på. at man under det fremskridt, der allerede er gjort på mødet i Sevilla ved afslutningen af det ikke-officielle råd om miljøet, ikke alene skal behandle de kvalitative, men tillige de kvantitative aspekter.
I wish to repeat, however, that it has been agreed that the question of the programme's length will be looked at again, and that the annex to the proposal will be updated.
I denne henseende er del net. som hr. Izquierdo omtaler, sikkert for så vidt angår mit land. og sandsynligvis også for visse andre lande i Sydeuropa, af stor betydning og har sikkert tillige høj prioritet.
There is a problem with regard to the budget, as well as other kinds of difficulties.
Jeg håber, at de undersøgelser, som et så vigtigt spørgsmål kræver, og som er meget komplicerede, vil gøre fremskridt.
Nevertheless, I am sure that Mrs Colombo's question will be answered in due course.
Vedrørende dette spørgsmål har Rådet (sociale anliggender og beskæftigelse) på mødet den 5. december 1995 bemærket de foreliggende oplysninger om forløbet af arbejdet på det ændrede beslutningsforslag.
The multiannual programme of work for cooperatives, mutual societies, associations and foundations (1994-96) was approved by Parliament in March 1995 by a large majority.
Ved denne lejlighed blev det klart, at flertallet af delegationerne vel var enige om de principper, der ligger til grund for Kommissionens forslag, men uenige om. hvilken form de skulle have.
The implementation of the work programme is eagerly awaited by social economy organizations through out Europe, but is currently stalled in the Council of Ministers.
Dette er ret normalt.
Can the Council indicate why no agreement has yet been reached?
Westendorp spørgsmål nr. 14 af Joan Vallvé (H­0874/95):
Question No 14 by Joan Vallvé (H-0874/95)
Om: Kulturel og sproglig mangfoldighed i Den Europæ­iske Union desto mindre tilkendegav Kommissionen, at den på ny ville undersøge spørgsmålet om programmets varighed, og at den i givet fald ville ajourføre forslaget.
My question is a quite specific one, and is addressed to the President-in-Office of the Council. In view of the fact that Spain has played a leading role in the recognition of languages other than the official State language, and that there are languages which are official within Spain while not being official languages of the European Union, does the Spanish presidency intend to implement any measures designed to ensure that those languages which are official within a European Union territory, while not being official State languages, are granted special recognition, a special status?
Under disse omstændighe­der har Rådet pålagt De Faste Repræsentanters Komite at fortsætte arbejdet, og underrette Rådet herom på et møde i nær fremtid.
It is not a question of making them working languages, but simply of granting them special recognition which sets them apart, on the grounds that their official status is recognized by one of the Member States.
