Hvis vi gennem disse nedrustningsinitiativer fik optimale muligheder for at skabe fred i verden inden for sikre rammer, burde man fremme dem med meget større beslutsomhed og energi, end vi i Europa-Parlamentet hidtil har gjort.
But in reality things are not like that, and if we go on in this way we shall turn Europe into a mere island capable of imposing disarmament initiatives above all on itself, in an increasingly violent world.
I realiteten forholder det slet ikke sådan og ved at gå frem på denne måde gør vi kun Europa til en ø, der kan pålægge først og fremmest sig selv nedrustningsinitiativer i en stadig mere voldelig verden.
Since the EU is one of the largest producers of mines, it follows that, for humanitarian reasons, in addition to banning their production, trade and use, we ought to promote measures for purposes of prevention, information, mine clearance and the social rehabilitation of the victims of mines.
Vi ved, at mange afrikanske og asiatiske lande ikke engang har undertegnet konventionen; vi ved, at de bander, der er og vil være på krigsstien i forskellige lande — som i dag i Bosnien og Rwanda — bestemt ikke kræver Europas accept for at udlægge minerne; vi ved, at producenterne af landminer — altså dem, der står i centrum af det problem, vi i dag beskæftiger os med
We know that many African and Asiatic countries have not even signed the Convention; we know that the troops who are and will be on the warpath in various countries — as today in Bosnia and Rwanda — will certainly not ask Europe's permission to lay mines; we know that the producers of land mines — those, that is, which are at the heart of the problem before us today — will not listen to the admonitions of the European Parliament; we know too that it is not the regular European forces, who above all know where to place mines, where to find them and how to render them harmless, who are responsible for this scourge: they are not responsible, but they are the only ones we wish to disarm, whilst those wreaking the havoc will continue undisturbed.
Da er disse 3 millioner D-mark ganske vist et glædeligt beløb, men — og det er Rådets beslutning — 3 millioner er et latterligt beløb, når det drejer sig om minerydning.
The production of mines is permitted, but their use is prohibited.
De rækker lige til at fjerne 4.000 miner.
We do not want moratoria for individual countries.
Vi har netop hørt, at der sidste år blev udlagt 2 millioner miner.
But before we forbid the European forces to use mines it should be borne in mind that they are arms for defence, for those who fear for their own security. Do we even think that the
Der findes 100 millioner miner globalt set.
Let me tell you about it.
Minerydning koster pr. mine 1.000 US-dollar, dét er 100 gange så meget, som det koster at producere en mine, og dette tegn fra EU svarende til rydning af 4.000 miner er en hån!
When your foot catches the wire of a mine, an initial charge propels the charge of the mine itself to about a metre above the ground, and it is at that point that it explodes.
Den strækker så alle, der måtte befinde sig i en radius på tyve meter, til jorden.
When it does so, anyone within a radius of twenty metres or so is blown to the ground.
Det er ikke mere, i hvert fald ikke i dag, tidspunktet til at skelne mellem miner, der selvudløses, og miner, der er mere eller mindre detekterbare.
Today, at all events, it is too late to talk about making distinctions between mines which self-destruct and mines which are more or less detectable.
Det er nemlig det totale forbud af alle miner, man bør skride til såvel som til et forbud mod deres produktion, oplagring, salg og eksport.
What we have to aim at is the definitive prohibition of all mines, and the prohibition of their manufacture, storage, marketing and export.
Det, der skal til, er rent faktisk en præventiv indgriben for at forhindre, at staterne fremover anvender denne type våben.
It amounts, in effect, to preventive intervention to ensure that nations are unable to use this type of weapon in the future.
Paakkinen (PSE). — (FI) Hr. formand, under høringen i Parlamentet i marts kom faren ved landminer klart frem i adskillige indlæg.
national Red Cross hospitals alone are treating over 10 000 amputees annually.
Det samlede årlige antal af dræbte og sårede er flere gange højere.
The total number of deaths and injuries every year is many times higher.
Størstedelen af ofrene er civile, der er blevet invaliderede af minerne. Blandt disse ofre er et meget stort antal bøm, som jo er de mest uskyldige ofre.
Most of the victims of mines are disabled civilians, including countless children who are the most innocent victims of all.
Anvendelse af miner er i strid med FN's konvention om børns rettigheder.
The use of mines is in fact contrary to the widely adopted UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Foruden død og invalidering forhindrer miner dyrkning og græsning og ødelægger dermed menneskers muligheder for overlevelse i store områder.
In addition to killing and maiming people, mines prevent cultivation and grazing, thereby depriving people in large areas of their livelihoods.
Resultatet er bl.a. flygtningestrømme.
One of the consequences is a large number of refugees.
Sonvvi har set, føres der krig i verden, og der udlægges miner. Dette sker især i mange fattige udviklingslande.
As we have seen, wars and the planting of mines nevertheless continue to take place, with many poor and developing countries among the most severely affected.
Udvalget har også konstateret, at der for øjeblikket udlægges langt flere miner, end der ryddes, så behovet for hjælp er enormt.
The committee has acknowledged that many more mines are currently being planted than cleared, which means that the need for assistance is truly great.
Jeg mener, at vi derfor skal sørge for hjælp og rehabilitering til ofrene og yde støtte til minerydning.
I therefore believe that we must be concerned about helping and rehabilitating victims and be prepared to clear mines.
Det andet element, man taler om, er blændingsvåben, og tidspunktet er særligt belejligt til at vie dem en offentlig og endelig bandlysning, inden deres seriefremstilling, massive spredning og salg bliver en trussel for os.
The second matter under discussion is the use of blinding weapons, this is a particularly appropriate moment to call down public and definitive condemnation on such weapons before mass production, widespread distribution and commercial exploitation make them a menace to all.
Det er rent faktisk nødvendigt at trænge forkæmperne for disse våben tilbage dette efterår og frem for alt at iværksætte de mest hensigtsmæssige midler til at nå dette resultat.
What we have to do, this autumn, is to force the promoters of these weapons to back down and, especially, to take the most appropriate steps to achieve that result.
Van der Waal (EDN). — (NL) Hr. formand, bekæmpelsen af spredningen af massetilintetgørelsesvåben har fået høj prioritet i de seneste årtier.
van der Waal (EDN). — (NL) Mr President, high priority has been given in the last few decades to preventing the spread of weapons of mass destruction.
Men det gjaldt ikke for landminer.
But that has not been the case for landmines.
De mange ofre, som efterladte antipersonelminer stadig kræver, har imidlertid nu også henledt opmærksomheden på dette onde.
This scourge has now come into prominence as a result of the many victims still being claimed by abandoned antipersonnel mines.
Afhjælpning af nøden blandt ofrene, ofrenes rehabilitering eller minerydning løser imidlertid ikke dette alvorlige pro blem.
Alleviating the distress of victims, rehabilitating them and clearing mines are not, however, solutions to this murderous problem.
Løsningen med hensyn til miner er et effektivt forbud mod produktion, eksport og anvendelse på verdensplan.
The solution with regard to mines is to introduce a total worldwide ban on their manufacture, export and use.
Jeg mener, at beslutningen om forbudet skal udformes således, at også produktionen af dele til miner forbydes.
The decision to ban them should, in my opinion, be formulated in a way which also prohibits exports of components used to manufacture mines.
Jeg støtter derfor disse betænkninger.
Therefore I too support these reports.
Dette forbud er især blev krævet af mange indflydelsesrige organisationer hvoriblandt UNICEF og UNHCR.
This ban has been called for by many reputable organizations, including UNICEF and UNHCR.
Jeg er klar over, at et totalt forbud er en vanskelig sag for mange lande, men ikke desto mindre må man bestræbe sig på det.
I know that a total ban is difficult for many countries, but this must nevertheless be our aim.
Bevarelse af menneskeliv skal være vigtigere for os end fortsat anvendelse af disse våben, som unødvendigt medfører alvorlige skader.
Preserving human life must be of greater value to us than preserving these weapons which cause such terrible, senseless injury.
Kun et totalt forbud er tilstrækkeligt effektivt, eftersom den internationale våbenhandel altid finder nye veje.
Only a full ban will be sufficiently effective, as the international arms trade always manages to find a way.
Teknisk er de for det meste meget enkle, men deres udformning er engang karakteriseret som typisk for den menneskelige ånds perversitet.
Technical ly speaking they are usually very simple, but their effects typically reflect the perversity of the human mind.
FN-konventionen om konventionelle våben fra 1980 indeholder ganske vist en række bestemmelser, som skal begrænse visse modbydelige anvendelsesmåder, men den praktiske betydning deraf har vist sig at være ringe.
The 1980 UN Convention on Conventional Weapons does include a number of provisions designed to restrict certain abuses, but the practical significance of these has been small.
Desuden er rækkevidden begrænset til krige mellem stater og gælder ikke borgerkrige eller inteme konflikter.
The scope of the Convention is, moreover, confined to wars between states and does not cover civil wars or internal conflicts.
Revisionskonferencen i september i år forventes at føre til en skærpelse af konventionen, men et globalt forbud ligesom for kemiske og biologiske våbens vedkommende vil ikke være gennemførligt.
The review conference scheduled for September of this year is expected to tighten up the terms of the Convention, but there is no chance of a worldwide ban of the kind which exists for chemical and biological weapons.
Dette behøver imidlertid ikke være nogen hindring for, at Den Europæiske Union beslutter at forbyde produktionen inden for hver af medlemsstaterne, således som Bertens-betænkningen med rette opfordrer til.
But this is no reason for the European Union not to decide on a ban on manufacture in each of its Member States, as the Bertens report quite properly recommends. mends.
Günther (PPE). — (DE) Hr. formand, mine ærede kolleger, vi har i denne uge fejret 50 års dagen for oprettelsen af De Forenede Nationer.
Günther (PPE). — (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, this week we have been celebrating the 50th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations.
Det var for os europæere allerede noget makabert at høre, hvordan denne institutions store resultater blev rost, når der samtidig er bøm i Sarajevo, der bliver dræbt af granater, og antallet af mineofre i de sidste 50 år slet ikke kan tælles mere. De tal, vi har hørt under denne debat, som for eksempel 36.000 ofre alene i Cambodja, viser hele den frygtelige rækkevidde, dette problem har.
It was rather macabre for us Europeans to hear how the great successes of this institution are being praised, when at the same time children are being killed by grenades in Sarajevo, and when there have been so many mine victims during the last fifty years that it is no longer possible to count them.
Jeg ser her tre kredse, vi skal have os for øje.
There are three groups of people that we have to look at here.
Det er for det første producenterne, det er for det andet brugerne, det er for det tredje — og dét er det beklagelige — ofrene.
There is no escaping the fact that landmines are present primarily in developing countries such as Afghanistan, Mozambique, Laos and Cambodia.
Brugerne af disse frygtelige våben skal i mine øjne brænde mærkes i samme omfang som producenterne.
The users of these frightful weapons are in my view just as deserving of condemnation as the manufacturers.
Man kan også beskrive sagen omvendt og sige, at hvis der ikke er nogen brugere, så er der heller ikke nogen producenter.
One could look at things the other way around, and say that if there were no users then there would not be any manufacturers.
Ved diskussionen om rydningsomkostningerne er der — som det allerede
In the debate about the cost of clearance, there is also a sort of 'polluter pays' principle, as has already been mentioned.
Dermed ville et stærkt udgangspunkt være valgt i forbindelser ne med tredjelande.
Lastly, when the Convention is reviewed, account must also be taken of laser weapons which cause permanent blindness.
Man kan jo ikke se bort fra, at landminerne fortrinsvis befinder sig i udviklingslande som Afghanistan, Mozambique, Laos og Cambodja.
Without wishing to repeat what was said then, surgeons, nurses and physiotherapists working in inter
Ikke blot forårsager disse miner der overordentlig store lidelser, som frem for alt mange bøm er ofre for, men de udgør også en hindring for udviklingsprocessen.
Although mines are used as a means of defence, their underhandedness is comparable only with that of chemical or biological weapons.
Dette vedrører først og fremmest landbragsområders infrastruktur og tilgængelighed.
I think it somewhat cynical that in the Council Agreement of 10 May a distinction is made between detectable mines and mines with a limited active life.
Unionen bidrager til
In this debate we
Man har fremhævet en række emner, herunder horisontale temaer såsom handel, miljø og udvikling.
Günther subjects were mentioned, especially such horizontal themes as trade, the environment and development.
I denne debat kræver vi igen og igen forbud.
have repeatedly asked for a ban.
Man skal forbyde produktionen!
Production must be banned!
Man skal forbyde bragen!
Use must be banned!
Blot må vi også forsøge at få fat på dem, der står bag sådanne krav.
Now we must also see that we get hold of the person who is behind those demands.
For det tredje har man anerkendt, at det er nødvendigt at prioritere kampen for beskæftigelse og tilrettelæggelsen af en G7-konference om beskæftigelse i Frankrig i 1996.
Thirdly, there was agreement that priority should be attached to the campaign for full employment and the organization of a G7 conference on employment in France in 1996.
Endelig er ideen om en konference i Bruxelles om informationssamfundet blevet positivt modtaget, og man er nået til enighed om vort forslag om at arrangere en konference i Sydafrika i foråret 1996.
Finally, the idea put forward at the Brussels conference on the information society was well received, and agreement was reached on our proposal to organize a conference in South Africa in the Spring of 1996.
Kollega Cunningham henviser i sin betænkning til konventionen om barnets rettigheder og etablerer en forbindelse til anvendelse af landminer.
In his report, Mr Cunningham refers to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and says that there is a connection between that Convention and the use of landmines.
Jeg tror, at det er et aspekt, vi absolut kan forfølge fremover.
I believe that this is an aspect that we can certainly follow up.
Det generer mig noget, når vi her betegner Det Europæiske Fællesskab in toto som verdens største mineproducent.
I find it somewhat disturbing that we should be trying to represent the European Community in toto as the largest mine producer in the world.
Jeg mener, det er på sin plads at differentiere lidt mere.
I believe that a little more differentiation is called for.
Hvad angår gennemførelsen af vores krav, som er indeholdt i disse to betænkninger, skal det første skridt sikkert være, at vi i Europa-Parlamentet støtter og vedtager disse betænkninger og deres krav.
When it comes to getting the demands contained in the two reports accepted, the first step must certainly be that we in the European Parliament should support and approve these reports and their demands.
Det andet skridt er, at Rådet og alle medlemsstaters regeringer, som jo også samtidig er medlem af De Forenede Nationer, her er opfordret til ikke at afslutte dette emne med debatten i dag.
The second step is that the Council and the governments of all those Member States that are also members of the United Nations should be asked to ensure that the subject does not end with today's debate.
I stedet skal vi virkelig arbejde hen imod at opnå konkrete resultater om et eller to år, som så også giver sig udslag i et tydeligt fremskridt i forbindelse med fordømmelsen af disse miner!
Instead, we must really work towards achieving concrete results in a year or two, which will in turn be reflected in a definite success in outlawing these mines!
Generelt set indeholder konklusionerne, mine damer og herrer, selv om de som altid er alt for lange, mange positive punkter, det være sig om reformen af Bretton Woods-institutioneme eller FN eller om udvikling.
In general, ladies and gentlemen, although the conclusions are too long, as always, they do contain many positive points for example regarding the reform of the Bretton Woods or UN institutions, or regarding development.
Teksten om handel finder jeg god, for den understreger klart betydningen af Verdenshandelsorganisationen.
The text on trade seems satisfactory to me, because it clearly emphasizes the importance of the World Trade Organization.
Konklusionerne i relation til miljøet er meget positive også takket være Kommissionens indsats.
As regards the environment, the conclusions are very positive, partly thanks to the efforts of the Commission.
Mødet i Halifax har også gjort det muligt for os at have indgående og frugtbare diskussioner med præsident Jeltsin, der så ganske afgjort har bidraget til at udvikle den russiske holdning til Tjetjenien.
The Halifax meeting also enabled us to have in-depth and fruitful discussions with President Yeltsin, which certainly helped to bring about a change in the Russian attitude to Chechnya.
Dette forklarer i øvrigt det initiativ, der blev taget i Cannes, til at give grønt lys til undertegnelsen af interimsaftalen.
This, incidentally, explains the initiative undertaken at Cannes in order to give the green light to signature of the interim agreement.
Formanden. — Mine damer og herrer, tiden er nu inde til at afbryde forhandlingen for at give plads for kommissionsformandens meddelelse og efterfølgende spørgerunde.
President. — Ladies and gentlemen, the debate will now be suspended for the statement by the President of the Commission, followed by questions.
Forhandlingen om dette punkt fortsættes kl. 13.00 og afsluttes efter behov.
This debate will be resumed at 1 p.m. until it is completed.
Jeg kommer således til det andet tema for mit indlæg, nemlig Det Europæiske Råds møde i Cannes.
This brings me to the second subject of my speech, the European Council meeting in Cannes.
Det Europæiske Råds møde var kort, hr. formand, men — tror jeg — kronet med succes.
The meeting, Mr President, was brief but, I think, highly successful.
Det giver et stærkt politisk signal om vor vilje til at skride frem i samlet trop.
It has given a powerful political signal regarding our determination to move forward together.
Kommissionen er især tilfreds med to ting.
The Commission is particularly satisfied with two aspects.
For det første med genoptagelsen af dens ideer om så vigtige temaer som beskæftigelse og Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union.
First, the adoption of its ideas relating to such important topics as employment and the Economic and Monetary Union.
For det andet den tillid, som stats- og regeringscheferne har vist den ved at opfordre den til at pege på den vej, der bør følges i en lang række vigtige sager.
Secondly, the vote of confidence in the Commission expressed by the Heads of State and Government when they invited it to suggest the approach to be adopted in a considerable number of matters.
Den liste over arbejde, som Kommissionen er blevet bedt om at udføre, er rent faktisk imponerende.
The list of tasks the Commission has been called upon to perform is an impressive one.
Jeg har i øvrigt med stor glæde noteret mig, at Deres indlæg, hr. formand, er blevet vel modtaget, og at Europa-Parlamentets og Kommissionens meninger var i fuldstændig harmoni.
President. — The next item is the statement by the Commission on urgent political matters of major importance.
Formanden. — Næste punkt på dagsordenen er meddelelse fra Kommissionen om uopsættelige politiske spørgsmål af væsentlig betydning.
Incidentally, Mr President, I was very glad to see the warm welcome given to your own speech, and to note that the opinions of the European Parliament and those of the Commission were completely in harmony.
Vi indleder dermed spørgetiden.
This statement will be followed by question time.
Forløbet af denne spørgetid kender De.
You know what form this question time takes.
Vi går frem som sædvanlig.
We shall proceed as usual.
De beder om ordet og stiller Deres spørgsmål i løbet af ca. 1 minuts taletid, idet der ikke er nogen fastlagt rækkefølge eller talerliste.
You ask to speak, and you put your question in about one minute of speaking time. There is no set order or list of speakers.
Kommissionen vil så bestræbe sig på at besvare spørgsmålene så kort som muligt.
The Commission will then endeavour to answer your questions as briefly as possible.
Jeg giver først ordet til kommissionsformanden, hr. Santer til meddelelsen fra Kommissionen.
I now invite the President of the Commission, Mr Santer, to give the Commission statement.
Santer, formand for Kommissionen. — (FR) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, i den senere tid har en lang række internationale begivenheder af største betydning lagt beslag på vor opmærksomhed.
Santer, President of the Commission. — (FR) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, a number of extremely important international events have recently been claiming our attention.
Jeg vil begynde med at tale om nogle af disse
Let me mention a few of those ideas.
Hr. formand, Kommissionen kom til dette møde i Det Europæiske Råd med et ønske om, at stats- og regeringscheferne ville give et klart signal om, at Unionen ufortøvet bevæger sig frem mod de mål, der er fastsat i Maastrichttraktaten.
First of all, there is the importance attached to multilateral surveillance. The text adopted draws on European practice.
Jeg finder, at det er en kendsgerning og glæder mig over dette.
With regard to exchange rate fluctuations, as I have said, I would have preferred a more forceful statement.
Det Europæiske Råd har med fasthed genoptaget debatten om gennemførelsen af Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union inden for rammerne af Traktaten.
I am also pleased to report that the Green Paper presented by the Commission to prepare the way for the third phase was very well received.
Det har forekommet mig yderst ønskeligt, at der blev sat en stopper for spekulationer og fingerede debatter.
Moreover, recognizing the need for meticulous technical preparation, European Council will in December decide upon the definitive scenario for introducing the single currency.
Det har Det Europæiske Råd gjort.
I hope that it will at the same time reach agreement on the name of the currency.
Det har understreget sin faste beslutsomhed, når det gælder om at
Secondly, there is the recognition of the fact that increasing global interdependence has to go hand in hand with closer relations between international institutions. A number of
Det Europæiske Råd har i øvrigt haft en drøftelse med de elleve associerede lande, der føler sig kaldet til at blive medlemmer af Den Europæiske Union, inden for rammerne af den prætiltrædelsesprocedure, der blev fastsat i Essen.
Furthermore, the European Council has held formal consultations with the eleven associate countries which wish to become members of the European Union, as part of the pre-accession procedure defined at Essen.
