Måske kan formanden oplyse os om, hvorfor medlemmer af Revisionsretten afgiver pressemeddelelser i vores medlemsstater, inden der har fundet forhandling sted i Europa-Parlamentet. Formand, jeg finder dette uelegant.
Perhaps the President can tell us why members of the Court of Auditors give Out press statements in our Member States when the debate has not even begun in the European Parliament.
Problemet er for det første, at jeg stadig står ved mine udtalelser om, at udgifterne til det nye byggeri ikke kan retfærdiggøres, og at de må undersøges.
The problem is, firstly, that I still stand by the allegations I have made as regards the fact that you cannot justify the expenditure on the new building and it has to be investigated.
Hvad jeg blev citeret for i avisen var, at offentligheden vUle antage, at der var tale om korruption, hvis ikke disse undersøgelser blev gennemført, og at vi her i Parlamentet har pligt til at få forholdene undersøgt.
What I said in the newspaper was that, unless these investigations were carried out, the public were going to assume that there was corruption going on, and we have a duty in this House to get things investigated.
I den forbindelse vil jeg blot oplæse en skrivelse fra anklagemyndigheden i Belgien: »Som svar på Deres brev af 10. juni 1997, 020211, skal jeg herved meddele Dem, at der er indledt en retslig undersøgelse af de pågældende forhold, herunder det eventuelle misbrug af midler tilhørende belgiske byggeentreprenører, som deltog i opførelsen af Europa-Parlamentets ejendomskompleks i Bruxelles, bygning Dl, D2 og D3.
In that regard, I just want to read out a letter from the State Prosecutor in Belgium: 'In reply to your letter of 10 June 1997, 020211,1 hereby inform you that a criminal investigation is under way into matters, including the possible misappropriation of funds belonging to Belgian public works contractors which took part in the construction of the European Parliament's property complex in Brussels Dl, D2 and D3 buildings.
Undersøgelsen er bl.a. rettet inod eventuelle udbetalinger af hemmelig provision til mellemmænd med henblik på sikring af kontrakter.
The investigation is focusing in part on the possible payments of secret commissions to intermediaries with a view to securing contracts.
Den kan derfor rejse tvivl om handlinger udført af enkeltpersoner, embedsmænd og politikere, hvoraf nogle er beskyttet af immunitet.
It may therefore call into question the actions of individuals, officials and politicians, some of whom enjoy immunity.
På dette trin i processen er sådanne personer dog ikke involveret.
However, at this stage in the procedure, no such persons are involved.
Skulle der dukke belastende bevismateriale op, vil de relevante procedurer naturligvis blive iværksat.
Should incriminating evidence emerge, it goes without saying that the relevant procedures would be implemented.
Jeg håber, at dette medvirker til at fjerne Deres betænkeligheder.
I hope I have allayed your concerns.
(Afslutningsformular og underskrift)«.
(Closing formula and signature)'.
For det tredje, formand, tror jeg, at vi alle ved, at Revisionsretten også undersøger Parlaments rejseudgifter.
Thirdly, Madam President, I think that we all know that the Court of Auditors is also investigating the travel expenses of this House.
Jeg vil derfor endnu engang alvorligt anmode om, at Præsidiet sørger for at gennemføre de beslutninger som Præsidiet og Formandskonferencen har taget i juli måned om reform af reglerne om godtgørelse af medlemmernes rejseudgifter.
I would therefore urge again, that the Bureau carries out the decisions taken by the Bureau and the Conference of Presidents in July, according to which the travel expense arrangements of this House need to be reformed.
De principielle beslutninger er truffet.
The principal decisions have been taken.
De skal nu gennemføres.
Now they must be implemented.
Det er, tror jeg, af stor betydning for Parlamentet, at disse beslutninger gennemføres inden 1. januar.
It is, I think, in the interest of this House that these decisions are implemented before 1 January.
Jeg kan forsikre Dem om, at formanden vil gøre alt, hvad der er nødvendigt for at få tingene på det rene sådan, som De har ønsket det.
I can assure you that the President will do everything necessary to throw light on these matters, as, you ask.
Jeg mener, at det er Parlamentets pligt at indse, at der skal tages hensyn til offentlighedens opfattelse af Parlamentet, at vi må støtte en hvilken som helst undersøgelse, og selv medlemmer af dette Parlament har anmodet om en uvildig undersøgelse af sagen.
I think that it is the duty of this House to realize that what is going on here is that the public perception of this House has to be taken into account, that we have to support any investigation, and even Members of this House have called for an independent investigation on what is going on.
Udgifterne til det nye byggeri kan ikke retfærdiggøres.
The cost of the new building is unjustifiable.
Vi kommer til at bruge det nye byggeri, og vi har derfor pligt til at få disse spørgsmål opklaret. Jeg kan ikke stilles til ansvar for, hvordan sensationsbladene refererer, men jeg vil stadig sige, at'jeg står ved det, som jeg har sagt.
We are going to be using that new building and therefore we have a duty to have these questions answered.
Maij-Weggen (PPE). - (NL) Fra formand, efter de fortræffelige ord af hr. De Vries kan jeg gøre det meget kort, fordi jeg havde tænkt mig at intervenere omkring nøjagtigt det samme punkt.
Maij-Weggen (PPE). - (NL) Madam President, after the excellent remarks by Mr De Vries I can be very brief, because I had wanted to speak on exacdy the same point.
Jeg tilslutter mig helt hr. De Vries og jeg anmoder Parlamentets Præsidium om så hurtigt som muligt at skabe klarhed i denne sag, der skader Parlamentet mere og mere på en helt unødvendig måde.
I totally agree with Mr De Vries, and I ask the Bureau of Parliament to make a statement about this issue which is increasingly damaging this Parliament as soon as possible.
Jeg har også kontaktet journalisten fra i går og fortalt ham, at der var visse unøjagtigheder, og jeg har fulgt op på det med en skrivelse, som De kan få en kopi af.
I also contacted the journalist involved yesterday and I told him that there were inaccuracies and I followed it up with a letter of which you can have a copy.
Men De gør Dem selv og Parlamentet en bjørnetjeneste ved at lade det gå ud over budbringeren, som De gør nu.
But you are doing yourselves and this House a disservice by shooting the messenger, which is what you are doing here.
Smith (PSE). - (EN) Fru formand, De afbrød vist fra McKenna, da hun talte.
Smith (PSE). - Madam President, I believe you interrupted Ms McKenna when she was speaking.
Hun henviste korrekt til en artikel, der giver hende tilladelse tU at tale, da hendes navn er blevet nævnt.
She was properly quoting a rule which allows her to speak as her name has been mentioned.
Hvorfor afbrød De hende så og lod hr. de
Why did you then interrupt her and allow Mr de Vries to speak?
Fra McKenna siger, at der foregår en undersøgelse af noget, der berører os her. Vi ved, at folkestemningen i EU er meget følsom, når det drejer om institutioner, der udelukkende reagerer ved at beskytte sig selv.
President a criminal investigation on matters affecting us.
Der er talt for meget eller måske ikke tilstrækkeligt.
It is very unjust.
McKenna har aldrig sagt - og det har hun gentaget - at hun havde beviser, men hvis en undersøgelse...
Ms McKenna has never said - and she repeated this - that she had any proof, but once an investigation...
(henvendt til en kollega) men jeg forstår ikke, hvorfor De bliver irriteret!
We are at the heart of something very serious taking place in this Parliament.
Jeg tror ikke, vi kan begynde en debat om dette punkt.
(Heckling) Why are you getting so irritated?
Derefter tog fra Fontaine ordet og bad McKenna om at undskylde sine udtalelser om en undersøgelse, der er indledt af en offentlig anklager i Belgien.
Mrs Fontaine then spoke again and asked Ms McKenna to apologize for her words about an investigation by the Belgian State Prosecutor.
Jeg kan ikke se, hvorfor McKenna ...
I do not see why Ms McKenna...
(Afbrydelse afhr. Cohn-Bendit) Nej, Hr. Cohn-Bendit, vi kan ikke forlænge...
(Interruption from Mr Cohn-Bendit) No, Mr Cohn-Bendit, We cannot extend...
(Uro) Men jeg angriber hende ikke!
(Mixed react ions) But I am not attacking him!
Jeg tror ikke, vi kan fortsætte denne debat.
(The President cut off the speaker)
Formanden. - Kære kolleger, De har kunnet konstatere, og jeg selv med tilfredshed, at hr. Cohn-Bendit har korrigeret de udtalelser, fra McKenna har fremsat i pres sen.
President. - Ladies and gentlemen, as you have heard, and I note it myself with satisfaction, Mr Cohn-Bendit has just corrected the words that were attributed to Ms McKenna in the press.
Cox (ELDR). - (EN) Fra formand, jeg vil gerne takke Dem og Præsidiet for at have handlet så hurtigt i denne forbindelse og givet Patricia McKenna, som medlem af dette Parlament, mulighed for at fremføre bevismateriale til underbygning af de påstande, som hun fremførte i en irsk avis i går.
Cox (ELDR). - Madam President, I would tike to thank you and the Bureau for the swift action that you have taken in relation to this matter in inviting Patricia M c K enna, as a Member of this House, to produce the evidence to substantiate the case that she alleged yesterday in an Irish newspaper.
Vi går nu over til godkendelse af protokollen.
I now believe that Ms McKenna needs do no more than correct her words in similar manner, in response to a request from the President, and then we will see more clearly into the whole business.
Er der nogen indsigelser?
We will now move on to adoption of the Minutes.
(Protokollen blev godkendt)
(The Minutes were approved)
Som medlem af Præsidiet ved De, fra formand, at jeg har skrevet til Dem og alle andre medlemmer af Præsidiet i går, og i den skrivelse anførte jeg nogle direkte citater fra det pågældende medlem.
You will know, as a Member of the Bureau, Madam President, that I wrote to you and to all of the Members of the Bureau yesterday, and in that letter I cited some direct quotations from the Member in question.
I dag tilføjer hun et forord og siger, at hvis disse forhold ikke blev undersøgt, ville offentligheden få visse indtryk.
She adds today a preface which says that if these matters were not investigated then the public might feel certain things.
Desværre var dette forbehold ikke medtaget i nogen del af gårsdagens artikel eller i citaterne.
Regrettably that proviso did not appear in any part of yesterday's article, nor in quotations.
Hvis hendes udtalelser er blevet forvansket eller fejlciteret i aviserne, vil jeg foreslå, at hun tilbagetrækker eller underbygger de påstande, som hun rent faktisk blev citeret for.
Indeed if she was misrepresented or misreported in the newspapers I would suggest that, on the issue of substance on which she was actually quoted, she should withdraw or substantiate.
Oomen-Ruijten (PPE). - (NL) Fra formand, jeg anmoder om, at De opfordrer Kommissionen, i henhold til forretningsordenens artikel 37, til i morgen at afgive en redegørelse om situationen i Irak.
Oomen-Ruijten (PPE). - (NL) Madam President, I would like to ask if you could request the Commission to give a statement tomorrow on the situation in haq in accordance with Rule 37, paragraph 7.
Hvorfor anmoder jeg om en redegørelse?
Why do I ask for this statement?
Fordi vi mener, at situationen i Irak kan ændre sig fra time til time og at alle beslutninger, som vi vedtager i morgen kan være forældede efter en time, men vi finder det alligevel nødvendigt, at vi er velinformerede om Sikkerhedsrådets beslutninger og også om den uindskrænkede gennemførelse heraf.
Because we believe that the situation in haq could, in fact, change at any moment, and any resolution we submit tomorrow could be superseded within an hour; however, we think it is necessary for us to be well acquainted with the Security Council resolutions, in unabridged version.
Derfor anmoder vi Dem om at opfordre Kommissionen til i morgen i den periode, der er afsat aktuelle og uopsættelige spørgsmål at give en redegørelse.
That is why we would like you to ask the European Commission to make a statement tomorrow during the period which is available for urgent matters.
Jeg vil geme fremføre nogle citater for Parlamentet, da mange ved ikke, hvad der blev sagt i de direkte citater.
Can I quote for the House, because many will not know what the direct quotes said.
I forbindelse med bygningerne i Bruxelles blev der sagt: »Der er folk i Bruxelles, der får enorme summer under bordet«.
They said in relation to the buildings in Brussels: 'There are people in Brussels getting massive backhanders'.
Andet citat: »Der foregår en masse lyssky transaktioner«.
Second quote: "There is serious racketeering going on here'.
Der er her tale om yderst alvorlige strafbare handlinger, og når man fremsætter sådanne påstande, må man enten fremlægge beviser for dem eUer være anstændig nok til at trække dem tilbage.
These are extremely serious criminal offences and in making these observations either one produces the evidence or one has the decency to withdraw.
Formanden. - Tak, fra Oomen.
President. - Thank you, Mrs Oomen-Ruijten.
De fremsætter denne anmodning i henhold til forretningsordenes artikel 37.
That is a request under Rule 37.
Cohn-Bendit (V). - (FR) Fra formand, jeg forstår ikke, hvorfor De bliver irriteret, før jeg åbner munden!
Cohn-Bendit (V). - (FR) Madam President, I do not understand why you are getting so irritated before I have even opened my mouth!
Jeg forstår det ikke, fru formand, fra McKenna har nævnt et ganske enkelt forhold...
Madam President, I do not understand. Ms McKenna has said something very simple...
Green (PSE). - (EN) Fra formand, en bemærkning til forretningsordenen.
Green (PSE). - Madam President, on a point of order.
Jeg vil geme på vegne af min gruppe støtte denne anmodning.
I want to rise, on behalf of my group, to support that request.
Som De måske ved, var der en hel del diskussion om dette i Formandskonferencen i sidste uge, og et af de spørgsmål, som jeg og andre rejste, var: Hvad kan man på nuværende tidspunkt helt nøjagtigt sige om sådan et yderst komplekst og ømtåleligt emne?
You may know that there was considerable discussion in the Conference of Presidents about this last week and at the time one of the questions which I and others raised was: what exacdy does one say at this point in time on a very complex and sensitive issue?
Hvis vi kan få en redegørelse fra Kommissionen, er det rimeligt, at vi i henhold til forretningsordenens artikel 37, stk. 6, får 30 minutter til at stille spørgsmål.
It is appropriate that, if we can get a statement from the Commission, we should have thirty minutes of questions under Rule 37(6) of our Rules of Procedure.
Dette vil give os mulighed for at undersøge og høre de forskellige
This will allow us to examine and hear the views on this issue in an atmosphere which does not mean that we are adding to and exacerbating the problems.
(henvendt til en kollega) hids Dem dog ned, unge mand, De kan få lov til at råbe op bagefter, eller gå ud og spise Deres morgenmad, og når De så er faldet ned, kan De komme tilbage-
Calm down, young man, you will have every right to shout afterwards. Or go and have some breakfast, and come back when you have calmed down...
Europa-Parlamentets forhandlinger
Ms McKenna said that there was
Green holdninger til dette emne i en atmosfære, der ikke medfører, at problemerne forstørres og forværres.
It is important that we deal with this before urgencies and objections because there are at present only four items on the urgency agenda.

Debates of the European Parliament
Formanden. - Hr. Aldo, jeg kan ikke lade Dem fortsætte.
President - Mr Aldo, I cannot let you continue.
Sådan er reglementet: indsigelser omkring uopsættelige emner finder sted uden debat.
The Rule is, objections regarding topical and urgent subjects are raised but cannot be debated.
Aldo (UPE). - (FR) Det er ikke en debat, det er en bemærkning i henhold til forretningsordenen, fru formand.
Pasty (UPE). - (FR) Madam President, on this matter, I believe that a statement from the Commission would be welcome, but above all, we need a statement from the Council, as the Council has responsibility for the CFSP, not the Commission.
Pasty (UPE). - (FR) Fra formand, jeg tror, at en erklæring fra Kommissionen om dette emne ville være velkommen, men det er især en erklæring fra Rådet, vi har brag for, da det er Rådet, og absolut ikke Kommissionen, der har kompetence, hvad angår FUSP.
Aldo (UPE). - (FR) This is not a point of debate, this is a point of order, Madam President.
Formanden. - Jeg mener at vide, at Rådet ikke vil være til stede i morgen, og det beklager jeg.
President - I do not believe the Council will be present tomorrow. And I regret that.
Men nu i dag bliver vi bedt om at foretage en afstemning, der vil være en krænkelse af denne forsamlings aktiviteter.
This half hour of questions to the Commission would fall within the timeslot allocated for urgent matters, and preferably be fore then.
Kære kolleger, vi har fået fremlagt et forslag, der kommer fra to politiske grupper, og som følger reglerne.
Togo is part of the Joint Assembly of the ACP and European Union, which operates under rules of procedure approved by us.
Denne halve times spørgetid indgår i den tid, der er afsat til uopsættelige emner og med ret til at komme først.
However, today, we are asked to take a vote which is in violation of the procedures of the Joint Assembly of the European Union and ACP.
Det er ikke tilfældet.
Are there any objections?
Forslaget er hermed besluttet.
There being no objections, that decision stands.
Dette, fru formand, er årsagen til, at vi i vores gruppe hverken ønsker debat eller afstemning i Togo-spørgsmålet, der for to uger siden blev diskuteret og stemt om i Den Paritetiske Forsamling, og resultatet var, at man afviste denne sag.
This is why our group, Madam President, is opposed to any debate or vote on the Togo dossier, which was the subject of a debate and a vote in the Joint Assembly fifteen days ago, and the result of which was a rejection of the dossier.
Dell'Alba (ARE). - (FR) Fra formand, tillad mig at gøre indsigelse imod denne procedure. De kender reglementet bedre end jeg.
Dell'Alba (ARE). - (FR) Madam President, please allow me to object to this procedure.
Det forslag, der er fremsat, kommer helt klart fra de to store grupper, der i sidste uge afslog at tillade, at et præcist punkt angående Irak blev sat på dagsordenen.
The proposal put forward has, it appears, come from two major groups who last week refused to accept a specific point on Iraq being put on the agenda.
De har sagt god for forslaget, fordi De kender reglementet.
You have taken up the proposal on your own initiative, because you know the Rules.
Faktisk er det kun formanden, der kan sætte fremsætte et forslag under mødet.
Indeed, only the President can make a proposal during the sitting itself.
Men netop det første klagepunkt, De har liggende foran Dem, kommer fra vores gruppe og går ud på at indsætte som første uopsættelige punkt spørgsmålet om Irak.
However, the first urgent matter before you was raised by our group, with a view to raising the question of Iraq as the first urgent matter of major importance.
Formanden Pasty har helt bestemt ret.
Mr Pasty is quite right.
Der er ikke meget idé i at stille spørgsmål til Kommissionen.
Asking the Commission questions does not mean much.
Lad os få en politisk debat om Irak og lad os derefter stemme, så enhver kan tage sit ansvar med hensyn til denne krise.
Let us have a political debate on haq, and let us vote, and let everyone declare where their responsibilities lie with regard to this crisis.
Og det er en proces, der har involveret 17 af Parlamentets udvalg, de nationale parlamenter - som vi holdt møde med i oktober - ikkestatslige organisationer og i særdeleshed Udvalget om Institutionelle Spørgsmål.
President - Mr Dell'Alba, in reality, we are all funda mentally in agreement about having a debate on the question, which is indeed a topical subject of major importance.
Formanden. - Hr. Dell'Alba, i virkeligheden er vi jo i bund og grand alle enige om at diskutere dette spørgsmål, der jo også er meget aktuelt.
Méndez de Vigo (PPE), rapporteur. - (ES) Madam President, this debate is the final act in a long process which began last June, when Parliament appointed Mr Tsatsos and I co-rapporteurs for the report on the Amsterdam Treaty.
Jeg vil sætte mit forslag til afstemning.
I shall put my proposal to the vote.
(Parlamentet erklærer sin tilslutning) (')
(Parliament approved the President's proposal) (')
Aktuel og uopsættelig debat (indsigelser)
President - Pursuant to Rule 47, I have received objections in writing giving reasons for the objections to the agenda for tomorrow morning's debate on topical and urgent subjects of special importance.
Når Amsterdamtraktaten skal vurderes, mener jeg, fru formand, at dette skal gøres ud fra to synsvinkler.
I believe that any assessment of the Amsterdam Treaty must be made from two points of view.
Den første er de politiske omstændigheder omkring denne traktat.
The first is the political circumstances surrounding the treaty.
Og de politiske omstændigheder i juni i år var ikke de fordelagtigste. De husker nok, at der var valg i gang flere steder, og især at EU's medlemsstaters interesse koncentreredes om overholdelsen af tidsplanen for euroen.
And the political circumstances of last June were not as favourable as they could have been.
Det, synes jeg, er udmærket.
That was a good thing, in my view.
Jeg tror, at euroen bliver et meget'centralt punkt til fremme af den europæiske integration, men jeg ønsker at gøre det klart, at det politiske tidspunkt ikke var det bedste for reformen af traktaterne.
I believe that the euro will provide an extremely important focus for the progress of European integration, but I wish to make clear that the political circumstances for revising the Treaties were not as favourable as they could have been.
Hr. Dell'Alba og hr. De Vries, den indsigelse, De havde fremsat om at indføre det irakiske spørgsmål på listen over
') Documents received - Referral to committees - Withdrawal of Com mission proposal - Action taken on Parliament's opinions and resolutions: see Minutes
Og den anden synsvinkel, når traktaten skal vurderes, er at analysere indholdet af den.
Secondly, the Amsterdam Treaty must be assessed from the point of view of its content.
Og indholdet skal ikke analyseres i forhold til forventningerne, ikke engang i forhold
And its content cannot be evaluated in relation to the expectations that existed, or even in relation to whatever aspirations Parliament may have had.
') Modtagne dokumenter - henvisning til udvalg - Tilbagetagelse af et forslag fra Kommissionen - Reaktion på Parlamentets udtalelser og beslutninger: se protokollen.
And, in this regard, from the very beginning, Mr Tsatsos and I wished to send a clear political message: the Amsterdam Treaty represents substantial progress for the process of European integration.
2) Aktuel og uopsættelig debat (indsigelser): se protokollen.
2) Topical and urgent debate (objections): see Minutes
3) Hvad angår andre indsigelser: se protokollen.
It is not simply a common market: it is a Community based on values.
Méndez de Vigo præsenteret af Tyskland desangående, peger i den rigtige retning.
The draft resolution that we are being asked to decide on refers to the past, the present and the future.
Amsterdamtraktaten indeholder også vigtige regler vedrø rende subsidiaritetsprincippet og de nationale parlamenters rolle gennem COSAC - jeg bringer min hyldest til fru Fontaine, der med stor dygtighed leder denne delegation.
jected enlargement, At the same time, however, this transition is meaningless if we do not maintain some basic exceptions in support of the principle of unanimity in constitutional matters. The realigning, or reweighting, of votes in the Council is generally considered to be necessary.
til de ambitioner, som vi måtte have haft i Parlamentet.
First of all, Mr Méndez de Vigo and I have attempted to assess politically' the vital elements of the past.
