Vi må forsøge at skabe en stabilitetszone ved vor østlige side, og i den forbindelse er det ikke passende at trække nye isolerende skillelinjer på kryds og tværs gennem Europa.
Finally, I hope that the Greek presidency will try to make some progress on the vexed question of the carbon/ energy tax.
PPE-Gruppen vil gerne sige hjertelig tak til alle, som har medvirket til, at NATO-topmødet blev en succes.
I know that the presidency will be answering questions during Question Time this evening, but some indication of the Greek presidency's position on this matter would be very helpful.
Den fleksibilitet i beskæftigelsessystememe, der ønskes i hvidbogen, vil kun være positiv og acceptabel og vil kun blive accepteret, dersom en række EF-regler sikrer arbejdstagernes og borgernes sociale rettigheder.
Goedmakers (PSE). - (NL) Mr President, Mr Linkohr and Mr Spencer have already touched on subjects I wished to address.
Derfor appellerer nu jeg til det græske formandskab om helt og fuldt at udnytte den sociale protokol fra Maastricht, for vi kan ikke længere lade én medlemsstat alene ødelægge Fællesskabets samfundsmodel.
The White Paper should be a priority, as should environmental issues, particularly reducing CO2 emissions.
De nævnte det kommende G7-møde om beskæftigelsen.
What better time could there possibly be to try to make headway on such a complex issue?
Holzfuss (LDR). - (DE) Hr. formand, NATO-topmødet i Bruxelles fandt sted i en spændende fase i europæisk sikkerhedspolitik, midt i overgangen fra en relativ stabil konfrontation til en for øjeblikket endnu labil kooperation.
Bonde (ARC). -(DA) - Mr President, what the world needs is not to be found in the Greek Presidency's programme, and as far as the programme is concerned, the world has no need of it.
Der har i historien været tale om mangt et under, men udviklingen inden for sikkerhedspolitikken i de sidste fem år, navnlig i Mellemeuropa, er omtrent noget i retning af et under ved Elben, hvor amerikanerne og sovjetrusserne rakte hinanden hånden efter sejren over Tyskland.
The earth needs a rapid adaptation of our economies to sustainable development, where environmental considerations and the develop ment of poorer countries are put at the top of the political agenda.
Hr. formand, et positivt, dynamisk og ambitiøst initiativ i retning af social samhørighed på højt niveau er den absolutte forudsætning for, at den offentlige mening igen skal blive positiv over for gennemførelsen af unionen.
However, there is no question of giving the environment higher priority, there is no opening up of our markets to the exports of poorer countries.
Vi har i de sidste årtier på begge sider af grænsen tværs gennem Tyskland haft den største koncentration af mili
Eastern Europe needs our markets open, so that Eastern Europeans can get the wheels turning, creating new, environ-
Det er forudsætningen for den demokratiske uddybning, vi alle ønsker her før valget.
Bonde enlargement of the Community to include Spain and Portugal, on this chapter in particular.
Vi sætter hele vor lid til Dem.
That is all that I can say at this moment.
Stavrou (PPE). - (GR) Hr. formand, jeg er blevet informeret om, at formanden for Rådet ikke kan være til stede lige nu, hvorfor jeg vil henvende mig til hr. Kranidiotis.
And I believe that the fact that, as a country, we have no interest in fishing in the North Sea, these being waters we do not frequent -and these are perhaps the only waters which we do not frequent as fishermen - might make it easier for us to take a more objective stance.
Vi skal nemlig undgå, at der i denne tid sker devalueringer af konkurrencemæssige grunde.
We are planning two official Councils and one extraordinary Council on environmental matters.
Her befinder De Dem, hr. rådsformand, i en gunstig udgangsposition, fordi det stik imod alle forventninger ved disciplin og af egen kraft lykkedes medlemsstaterne at holde vekselkurserne for deres valuta inden for de gamle båndbredder.
We are also planning to hold in Athens a forum of non-govemmental organisations which are involved in environmental matters, i.e. nongovernmental ecological organisations.
Det græske formandskab skal nu tilskynde medlemsstaterne til at gå videre ad denne vej.
We are fully aware of the problem and importance of this subject.
En succes, som Den Europæiske Union har brug for nu, og det samme gælder for Grækenland.
mentally-friendly workplaces there, where they live, instead of ending up in an immigration queue in the EC.
Et højdepunkt for det græske formandskab kan faktisk blive underskrivelsen af fire nye medlemmers tiltrædelse.
But there is no opening up of our markets, on the contrary, a special trade instrument is to be developed to keep goods out.
Her skal det græske formandskab efter min mening bidrage til, at de forbehold, der eksisterer inden for unionen over for ligebehandling af de fire ansøgerlande og de gamle medlemsstater, overvindes, da der allerede i 1996 i forbindelse med bedømmelsen af, om tilstrækkelig mange medlemsstater opfylder konvergenskriterierne, kan sørges for en positiv ensretning.
Instead of open markets and freer trade, we are getting legal policy cooperation, geared towards a common policing, a common finger-printing system to keep the strangers out, instead of a hearty handshake for those who pushed down the walls and created the opportunity for all of Europe's countries to unite in peaceful cooperation.
Den første chance består i udarbejdelsen og den endelige udformning af teksterne i den helt friske GATT-aftale fra Uruguay-Runden.
And people need a real-life govern ment, where their views may be translated into laws, and where laws may be changed by new views.
Den truende sociale uro med de omkring 20 millioner arbejdsløse i Unionen - det tal har vi hørt til bevidstløshed her i dag - imødegås hverken med en 4-dages uge eller lignende løsninger.
Instead, the Maastricht Treaty is now moving more decisions away from our citizens and elected authorities over to officials who do not even listen, and to ministers who conduct their negotiations behind closed doors.
Den vil kun kunne afværges med de 200 mia dollars, som vil blive tilført det globale marked årligt med udvidelsen af den internationale samhandel.
The cradle of democracy stood in Greece, they say, but does it really have to be left there?
Poettering (PPE). - (DE) Hr. formand, Jeg er meget glad for, at rådsformanden tillægger Den Europæiske Unions udenrigs-, sikkerheds og også forsvarspolitik stor betydning, og det glæder mig, hr. Pángalos, at vi i dag kan fortsætte vor samtale i sidste uge i Athen med Europa-Parlamentets Amerika-delegation.
Pángalos, President-in-Office. - (GR) Mr President, important remarks have been made and I should like to say that it was not my intention in my speech to cover the whole of the programme which is set out in written form and which you have before you nor all of the activities of the Community in the coming six months. Of course, for obvious reasons, I was forced to stick to the main points.
Det græske formandskabs anden chance er den udvidelse af det indre marked, som vi har fået med ikrafttrædelsen af Traktaten om Det Europæiske Økonomiske Samar bejdsområde ved årets begyndelse. Hele Europa og især Grækenland, takket være Samhørighedsfonden og Traktatens transportbestemmelser, vil høste konkrete fordele heraf og fremskynde deres vej ud af krisen.
As for the specific remark made by Mrs Goedmakers, I should like to say that, in fact, there is a discussion taking place within the Greek Government at the moment and the view which you referred to does exist but a Minister ial Committee has been formed, and since yesterday it has been discussing the matter -the proposal which seems to be emerging is that we should give positive responses to the need to protect the environment and other aspects of a forum on emissions of carbon dioxide.
Selve Traktaten vil også fremme den endelige optagelse af de 4 EFTA-lande i Den Europæiske Union.
On this subject, as you will understand, a whole series of discussions will have to take place and I do not think that they will be easy.
De 10 første dage af marts, hvor man håber at kunne afslutte forhandlinger ne om udvidelsen, vil være det græske formandskabs tredje chance for succes.
We must be realistic and, whatever happens, I shall refer to the particular sensitivity which you have displayed in this Parliament.
Hr. formand, det er oppositionens oprigtige ønske, at det græske formandskab når disse mål til gavn for Unionen og Grækenland.
I have never been a runner but I have watched many others and, although Marathon is actually in my constituency, I can tell you that, in marathons, nobody runs faster towards the end.
Ud fra mit synspunkt er følgende af betydning for fremtiden.
I wish to thank Mr Barón Crespo, former President of the European Parliament, for his positive words.
For det første skal NATO-staterne så hurtigt som muligt indgå aftaler om partnerskab og fred med landene i Mellem- og Østeuropa og navnlig med Rusland.
It is obvious that, in South Africa, cooperation with the European Parliament must be even closer than for the elections in Russia, because the problems which we shall face are perhaps even more complicated and difficult.
For det andet skal der snarest indgås en aftale mellem Den Europæiske Union eller Det europæiske Fællesskab og Rusland med henblik på en afslutning af en traktat om partnerskab og samarbejde.
We all want our work to be easy and these elections to take place as smoothly as possible but we should also be ready for anything to happen.
For det tredje har vi brug for en gradvis åbning af NATO, der gør det muligt for nye stater at blive medlem, f.eks. stater som Polen, Ungarn, Den Tjekkiske Republik og Slovakiet, samt i givet fald andre lande. For det fjerde ville det kun være konsekvent, om de stater, med hvilke Den Europæ iske Union har indgået aftaler - dvs. Polen, Ungarn, Den Tjekkiske Republik, Slovakiet, Rumænien og Bulgarien - også blev associerede.
I should like to refer to the member of Parliament who referred to half of Europe, i.e. women.
Dét ville være et konkret skridt til videreudvikling af Europa-aftalerne.
This will require a response from the other Governments.
For det femte har vi brug for en permanent politisk dialog mellem Den Europæiske Union og alle stater i Mellem- og Østeuropa.
The Greek Government has a Minister for Issues of Equality between Women and Men and it is that Minister who has taken this initiative.
Basis for de mellem- og østeuropæiske staters forbindelser med de vestlige institutioner skal være disse staters selvbestemmelsesret. Det ville derfor ikke være accepta belt, om et land, f.eks.
As for unifying the system of elections, I think that in principle the electoral legislation should be amended by all the countries.
Rusland, gjorde krav på at få vetoret for at øve indflydelse på disse landes forbindelser med de vestlige institutioner.
In the case of Greece, the legislation is due to be ratified later this month or at the beginning of next month at the latest.
Vi har tværtimod brug for partner skab, fred, frihed, demokrati og menneskerettigheder på hele det europæiske kontinent.
Various proposals have been made for housing the institution and its staff and we shall proceed as fast as possible, so that this institution can operate and even extend its activities.
Det er efter min mening et ganske særlig penibelt politisk problem, for af de tolv medlemsstater er de fire syndere, fordi de har underskud.
This proposal is of interest to us and we hope to do something in this direction - but I cannot at this moment make a programme objective, as it is too early to do so.
Selv om unionen fra anden fase endnu ikke er forpligtet til at skride ind, er medlemsstaterne alligevel forpligtede til at undgå alt for store underskud.
I hope to have a meeting with the President of the European Monetary Institute.
Derfor er kontrol, revision og tillige ny fremsættelse af konvergensprogrammer i anden fase af særlig betydning under det græske formandskab, og vi er meget spændt på det græske konvergensprogram.
We have already been in contact and are trying to work out a date for a meeting at which, of course, I shall be discussing all the problems and subjects which concern its establishment and the way it has been functioning until now.
Bofill Abeilhe (PSE). - (ES) Hr. formand, Unionen befinder sig netop nu i en fase, vi kan betragte som afgørende.
Of course, this is a very difficult chapter in enlargement of the Community and, I would even say, one of the most difficult.
Ikrafttrædelsen af anden fase i Den Økonomi-
I remember with anguish the lengthy discussions which we had to take part in prior to
Derfor vil det være yderst hensigtsmæssigt og nyttigt, hvis dette komplicerede, men inspirerede tiltag medtages blandt de ting, der har det græske formandskabs største interesse.
I have not yet been able to discuss with the Commission but I think that at lunchtime I shall be able to talk to someone from the Commission.
Held og lykke, hr. rådsformand, med opgaven som græsk formandskab.
Mention of religion in identity cards and conscientious objection.
Linkohr (PSE). - (DE) Hr. rådsformand, ethvert for mandskab medfører, at der er mange opgaver, der skal løses.
A person's religion has always traditionally been mentioned on Greek identity cards.
Til slut vil dog også De blive målt på, om det lykkedes Dem at få udrettet noget særligt. Efter min mening bør De trække to emner frem.
A vote was taken in Parliament, a free vote, in which members of the Greek Parliament voted according to their conscience and they voted by a large majority for the proposal for the mention of religion to continue in Greek identity cards.
De har begge noget at gøre med økonomi, et ord, der jo som bekendt stammer fra græsk.
I have heard no complaints although I have many contacts with the Jewish and Catholic communities in my country and no community thinks that this reference in identity cards...
For det første er det en forudsætning, at der sker en samordning af de monetære politikker gennem Det Europæiske Monetære Institut, endda udover hvad der fastslås i instituttets statutter.
Many members of this Parliament referred to the subject of NATO and all issues relating to the defence dimension of the European Union.
Der må desuden ske en forstærkning af den multilaterale overvågning, hvilket vil mulig gøre en konsolidering af budgetstruktureme på mellem lang sigt, eller med andre ord en sanering af de offentlige finanser, og en fastholdelse af priskontrollen.
I think that I can repeat at this point that what I said was as the Foreign Minister of my country, because I do not have the approval of the Council to speak on such a subject and not because I think that there is no link between the Council's work and NATO business - simply because I cannot express the Community stance.
Alt dette for at sikre kursstabilitet og således undgå den monetære usikkerhed og frem for alt fristelsen til devaluering i konkurrenceøjemed.
Nevertheless, I think that we all more or less agreed that recent developments are of interest and I think that we should keep heading in the same direction.
Sammen med ovenstående skal der iværksættes en nedsættelse af de nominelle renter på kort sigt, hvilket vil medføre en genoptagelse af investeringer ne.
As for the remark made by Mr Langer on the accession of Cyprus and the subject of guarantees for solving the problem, I shall be making a statement this afternoon about the discussions which are being planned on this subject.
Emne nr. 1 skal være hvidbogen.
Mr President, please allow me to continue.
Den handler, som vi alle ved, om arbejdspladser og en forbedring af den europæ iske konkurrenceevne.
Some members of this Parliament may have other information but it is not necessary for them to protest in this way.
Dens henstillinger skal føres ud i livet nu, hvis vi kke vil skuffe millioner af menneskers berettigede forventninger, for hvidbogen bliver en prøve på Europas evne til at sikre en hel generation af unge arbejde og dermed en økonomisk eksistens.
In any case, I repeat, and would ask this to be taken into consideration by those members of Parliament who are protesting, that there is a National Parliament in Greece which voted on this subject and which took this decision. That is all I can say at this moment.
Om Den Europæiske Union er i besiddelse af vitalitet eller om den haren pensionists mentalitet, vil vise sig i omgangen med dette dokument.
If you wish to hear my personal view and, perhaps in this way I might have greater clemency from your indignation, I personal ly voted in favour of its abolition.
For det andet skal vi gennemføre de i hvidbogen fra Kommissionen indeholdte foranstaltninger, som i sam menhæng med ortodokse løsninger til overvindelse af krisen forudsætter andre løsninger, der repræsenterer en nytænkning.
As for GATT and the remark made by Mr Stavrou about outstanding matters, I wish to say that the main outstanding matter - though there are many others - is that of access to markets.
Hr. formand, for at gennemføre sådanne foranstaltninger er der behov for de nødvendige ressourcer.
This is something which was dealt with, I might say, in the agreement we reached with the United States on this subject and we need to contact each other and discuss this with other large trading powers such as Japan, a basic factor in this discussions.
Beklagelig vis har man gentaget resultatet af foran staltningerne fra Edinburgh og København, der skabte et perspektiv af forhåbning, som dog på grund af manglen de ressourcer desværre ikke er blevet opfyldt.
I think that the representatives of the Commission such as Sir Leon Brittan will be doing this and we hope that we shall see positive results before the signing of the agreement which we reached in Marrakesh on 14 April.
Det vigtigste punkt i den forbindelse er, som De selv sagde, finansieringen.
Dialogue with the countries of Central and Eastern Europe has already begun.
Jeg opfordrer Dem til at stille spørgsmålet om finansieringen i centrum af Deres for mandskab.
As you know, there is a plan for a meeting in Paris and the Stability Pact and, during the March Council, we shall hold far-reaching talks with the Visegrad countries.
Når De har løst dette spørgsmål tilfredsstillende, vil borgerne belønne Dem derfor med ny tillid til de europæiske institutioner, og man vil måske, nej helt bestemt, give Dem et særligt kapitel i den europæiske enheds historiebog.
There are also the Association Agreements with Poland and Hungary. I think that this is already plenty of work on this and we shall not be giving these countries the. impression that we are neglecting them or that they are not being given constant attention by our Council.
Der er ingen tvivl: vi råder over en ramme af nødvendige instrumenter, hvilket skaber håb om, at Den Europæiske Union kan forbedre konkurrenceevnen, skabe beskæfti gelse og fastslå Unionens placering i den nye internationale arbejdsdeling.
As for the subject of conscientious objection, Greece recognises the right for someone to carry out military service without bearing arms.
Hr. formand, det er nu op til Rådet at spæde bomben, således at håbet bliver...
This is accepted by the overwhelming majority of conscientious objectors.
Saridakis (PPE). - (GR) Hr. formand Jeg vil koncentrere mig om fire spørgsmål vedrørende landbrugssektoren.
There are hundreds of young Greeks who are conscientious objectors for political reasons and who do their military service without bearing arms.
Det andet emne vedrører foranstaltningerne til reduktion af COi-emissioner - stikord drivhuseffekt.
There is a special category of conscientious objectors, Jehovah's Witnesses, who wish not to be enlisted in the army at all i.e. not to wear uniforms and not to stay in army camps.
En vigtig foranstaltning derimod er energiafgiften, for der vil kun blive sparet på energien, hvis den er dyr.
For these conscientious objectors, of course, there is a law which imposes penalties so that those who are condemned carry out their military service in special conditions.
Det kan godt være, at det tilsyneladende er et upopulært emne, men jeg vil gerne gøre Dem opmærksom på, at naturen ikke tager hensyn til meninger, formandskaber eller valg. Den måler!
My Government takes a different stand on this subject and is proposing a new law and, at the moment, contacts are being made between all of the respective ministries so that this special category of conscientious objectors, numbering around 200 people, will be able to do a special alternative service, e.g. by doing community work out side the army.
For det første bør der gøres en hurtig og reel indsats for at fremme anden fase af revisionen af den fælles landbrugs politik.
Progress takes place and every country has its history and every country has its own problems.
Det ville være ideelt, hvis den kunne afsluttes under det græske formandskab, især for produkter som vin, frugter og grønsager, sukker og olivenolie.
Greece has its own problems due to its special geographical and political position which all members of this European Parliament should know about.
Pierros (PPE). - (GR) Hr. formand, det er naturligvis umuligt at komme ind på alle de forskellige emner i et kort indlæg som dette.
President. - (GR) Thank you very much for your detailed answers to all our questions.
For det andet er det nødvendigt hurtigst muligt at simplificere den praktiske gennemførelse af første fase af revisionen.
Mr President, as for completion of the Common Agricultural Policy, this is an extremely important issue.
De ting, som tydeligvis fungerer dårligt, ødelægger i mange tilfælde landmændenes forventninger og lovgiverens hensigter.
This is of interest to an especially sensitive section of the European population and one which does neglect to remind us of its power and interests with every means at its disposal.
Overtagelsen af formandskabet falder sammen med ind ledningen af anden fase af Den Økonomiske Union med Det Europæiske Monetære Institut som referencepunkt. Hvad agter formandskabet at gøre i denne henseende?
I think that the CAP must be brought in line with GATT and we must find ways of bringing in all measures of protection for European farmers and their income and special attention must be given to Mediterranean products, the codification of laws - more details are included in our programme.
Vil det forsøge systematisk at forsyne dette institut med beføjelser til at koordinere De Tolvs økonomiske og monetære politik, sådan som den aktuelle situation kræver det?
The subject of young people at work is a very serious one and, talking on behalf of my Government, I could tell you that in Greece we have the impression that we must absolutely stick to the principles of the ILO.
Eller vil det tværtimod blot lade det fremstå som en akademisk institution uden styrke og kraft? Hvilke konkrete foranstaltninger agter det græske formandskab at træffe med hensyn til den europæiske konkurrencedygtighed og navnlig de små og mellemstore virksomheder?
I think that this is all part of a more general attempt to achieve a social dimension in as many countries as agree while, at the same time, we hope that at some time the United Kingdom Government will join the same path as all the others are following.
Lad os ikke ofre alt på popularitetens alter.
IN THE CHAIR: MRS PERY Vice-President
Det belgiske formandskab har efter min mening gjort et udmærket stykke arbejde.
Frémion (V). - (FR) Madam President, being of a tolerant disposition, I understand that it may be thought that someone who comes from elsewhere represents a danger.
Jeg synes, vi bør have bekræftelse fra Rådet på, at det stadig står ved sin holdning.
That is a theme of third-rate science fiction, based on fear of little green men.
