Men lad mig afslutningsvis sige noget om den generelle vurdering af Europakonferencen.
This is simply a democratic government expressing the will of its people.
Dette instrument blev hovedsageligt etableret med henblik på diskussionen om forbindelserne EU-Tyr-kiet.
Our enthusiasm must not blind us toward the many problems that come with Malta.
Dette lands gentagne manglende deltagelse bør give EU-strategerne anledning til at genoverveje deres politik på dette område.
EU membership still remains a political football, which is not the best way to prepare for full membership of the European Union.
Malone (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne lykønske formandskabet og Kommissionen med de redegørelser, de har aflagt for os her i dag.
Secondly, the Commission in its avis identified certain weaknesses, particularly in relation to the structure of the economy.
Jeg er meget glad for, at relevante spørgsmål såsom narkotika og børneprostitution blev drøftet i går såvel som alle de andre spørgsmål, der optager os her i denne uge i Parlamentet.
What we have to do now is look again at the sit uation in Malta and judge it on the same basis as any other country.
Vi drøftede selv hele spørgsmålet omkring harmoniseringen af læge middelindustrien.
Talk of Malta jumping to the front of the queue - which I have heard in Parliament - is nonsense.
Azzolini (PPE). - (IT) Hr. formand, fru formand for Rådet, ærede kolleger, først vil jeg gerne gentage lykønskningen til min ven, præsident Eddy Fenech Adami, for den nylige valgsucces i Malta.
Ferrero-Waldner, President-in-Office of the Council. -(DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, although I did not mention Malta earlier, because I was not aware that it was included in today's discussion, I would like to say that we did take the first available opportunity.
Det er en succes, der får endnu større betydning, når man tænker på, at vælgerne samtidig sagde ja til Maltas optagelse i Den Europæiske Union.
You know, of course, that Guido De Marco emerged as the winner in the elections on 10 September, and obviously we took advantage of the first Council meeting after that to discuss the subject.
Dette bekræfter således den linje, som allerede blev fulgt af præsident Fenech Adamis tidligere regering, og som i 1995 fik en positiv modtagelse af vores institutioner.
The Commission - as you know -has been requested to present, as soon as possible, an up dated version of its opinion of July 1993, which, naturally, needs to be re-examined and revised.
Den beslutsomhed og rettidighed, med hvilken præsident Adami - som en af den nye regerings første handlinger - igen har bekræftet Maltas ansøgning om op tagelse i Den Europæiske Union, bør ikke blot styrke vores tro på Maltas mulighed for at deltage i den første for handlingsrunde i forbindelse med udvidelsen, men også glæde os.
In addition, the President of the Council was authorised to send a let ter of reply to the Foreign Minister of Malta, referring to the procedure which is now necessary, namely the updating of the opinion.
På vegne af min gruppe, der også hilser denne fornyede ansøgning om tiltrædelse velkommen, vil jeg gerne sige, at vi også bifalder den maltesiske regerings beslutning, ja og også den opfattelse, der deles af oppositionen om, at der skal afholdes en folkeafstemning efter forhandlinger nes afslutning.
Bianco (PPE). - (IT) Madam President-in-Office, I very much welcome the fact that you gave pride of place at the Conference to issues which are without doubt crucial, such as drugs, paedophilia and new forms of slavery, sub jects which we hope to return to on other occasions for further consideration.
Det er af uhyre stor betydning.
Nevertheless, I cannot refrain from
Som fuldgyldigt medlem af Den Europæiske Union vil Malta efter min mening være en vigtig forpost i middel-
Obviously, both the European Union and the Council are concerned about the tensions in the region, and at the moment we are supporting Egypt's efforts to restore a certain degree of calm to the situation. On the Partnership for
Jeg ville også gerne vide, hvordan Rådets formandskab ser på dette spørgsmål.
President - The next item is the statements by the Coun cil and the Commission on the situation in Kosovo.
Jeg vil gerne høre Rådet sige noget om, hvordan fremtiden efter dets mening ser-ud for Europakonferencen.
Europe, you are aware that at the informal Council in Salzburg, the Austrian Presidency pursued the idea of finding some kind of basis for bringing in those countries which are not applicants or have no prospect of acceding at the present time.
Hr. Swoboda har allerede nævnt nogle lande, som efter hans mening bør deltage i konferencen. Jeg vil gerne tilføje Ukraine til denne liste.
Unfortunately, perhaps because it had not been prepared in sufficient detail, many countries provi sionally rejected this idea in Salzburg, saying that it was premature.
Jeg mener, at det er vigtigt, for Ukraine er knyttet meget tæt til vesten. Jeg vil gerne høre formandskabet give os dets overvejelser om, hvor vi nu er på vej hen med konferencen, for den kan være en væsentlig kraft.
I myself believe, however, that opportunities will certainly also be provided in the future for these coun tries - Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, etc. - to at least have the prospect of working in collaboration with Europe.
Aelvoet (V). - (NL) Hr. formand, fru formand for Rådet, hr. kommissær, kære kolleger, der har åbenbart været et kommunikationsproblem mellem Parlamentet, Rådet og Kommissionen, eftersom kommissæren i sidste øjeblik har taget tråden op takket være billederne på skærmen.
Ferrero-Waldner, President-in-Office of the Council. -(DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, it is now ex actly three weeks since I last spoke to you on the subject of Kosovo. Since then, the situation has again worsened dramatically.
Vi har ikke hørt noget fra Rådet, men det kommer vel ved den afsluttende bemærkning, formoder jeg.
The High Commissioner for Refugees, Sadako Ogata, visited Kosovo, Montenegro and Albania just last week.
Med hensyn til reaktiveringen af Maltas ansøgning glæder alle i Parlamentet sig herover, og jeg tror også, at det politisk set er vigtigt for styrkelsen af Barcelona-processen, at Middel havslandenes tilstedeværelse i Den Europæiske Union på ny forøges.
She reported that there were an estimated 200 000 refugees and internally displaced people, around 50 000 of whom are spending the night out in the open, in the forests and hills.
Barcelona-processen kan faktisk godt trænge til forstærkning.
Almost every day, more displaced people join them.
Hvad Malta angår, så bifalder jeg ligesom alle andre den maltesiske regerings beslutning om at ansøge om med lemskab af Den Europæiske Union.
As regards institutional reform, which was also men tioned, I should like to say that it will soon be the Pörtschach summit.
Vores entusiasme må ikke forblinde os over for de mange pro blemer, der følger med Malta. EU-medlemskabet forbliver stadig en politisk kastebold, hvilket ikke er den bedste måde at forberede et fuldt medlemskab af EU på.
But obviously, we know that institutional reform is one of the pre conditions for our really being in a position to accept further applicants for membership.
For det andet pegede Kommissionen i sin udtalelse på visse svagheder, navnlig i relation til økonomiens struktur.
On Cyprus, I should like to emphasise once more that we, the Austrian Presidency, are very pleased that we have succeeded in being able to start negotiations on member ship with all the countries in the first wave - five plus one, Cyprus - on 10 November.
Det, vi nu igen må gøre, er atter at kaste et blik på si tuationen på Malta og bedømme landet på samme grund lag som ethvert andet land. At tale om, at Malta skal springe frem forrest i køen - som jeg har hørt her i Parlamentet - er nonsens.
This could not be taken for granted, and we struggled over it to the last.
For det andet mener jeg, at det er meget vigtigt, at befolkningen får lejlighed til at udtale sig og at skelne mellem at vælge et parti og at vælge medlemskabet.
Belgrade's repeated proclamations that the fighting was being stopped and the Serbian forces withdrawn have proved to be either untrue, or a tactical manoeuvre on the part of President Milosevic.
Hvad det angår, støtter vi selvfølgelig kravet om en folkeafstemning.
In talks with Mrs Ogata, Mr Milosevic even denied the existence of a humanitarian crisis in Kosovo and gave assurances that the Yugoslav Government was endeavouring to ease the suffering of the displaced people and make it possible for them to re turn home very soon.
Til sidst mener jeg ikke, at det er nødvendigt, at vi indtager en faderlig holdning med hensyn til Malta.
The reality, as perceived by Mrs Ogata and regularly reported by the KDOM, tells a differ ent story.
Malta er stærkt nok til at forsvare sine egne interesser, og jeg tror, at det er et perfekt eksempel på den holdning, som EU al tid har hyldet i forbindelse med den første og den anden gruppe, nemlig at man meget nemt kan overgå fra den an den gruppe til den første gruppe. Det er vores ønske.
So do the statements made by the Secretary-General of the United Nations in the report he presented to the Security Council the day before yesterday, in which he records that the Serbian security forces are waging a campaign of terror and violence against the civilian pop ulation in Kosovo.
Titley (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, det glædede mig at høre beretningen fra Rådet om aktiviteterne ved Europa konferencen.
As far as Turkey is concerned, I should like to point out that the Council presidency is still endeavouring to estab lish the Association Council with Turkey, and of course here too, talks are being held with both sides, but as yet we have not achieved à breakthrough.
Det er helt klart en meget grundig konference.
We will continue our efforts, to the end of our presidency at the very least.
Det er vigtigt at vide, at konferencen er rede til at beskæftige sig med spørgsmål, der er af betydning for de almindelige vælgere i Den Europæiske Union, nemlig narkotika og kriminalitetsbekæmpelse.
Unfortunately, it is all too obvious that, given that winter is approaching, we are heading for a humanitarian catastrophe, unless the situation changes soon.
Det er vigtigt at vide, hvor alvorligt regeringerne nu tager den måde, hvorpå kriminaliteten underminerer grundlaget for et de mokratisk samfund.
The Kosovo Albanians currently seeking refuge in the forest have no fresh drinking water, increasingly scarce supplies of food, no sanitation and no medicines.
Bianco (PPE). - (IT) Fru formand for Rådet Jeg vil gerne give udtryk for min store tilfredshed med, at De satte nogle emner øverst på konferencens dagsordenen, som uden tvivl er væsentlige, såsom narkotika, pædofili og det nye slaveri.
There is no doubt - and this needs to be repeated here -that the main responsibility for there being such large numbers Of refugees and displaced people lies with the Government of Serbia and Yugoslavia, that is to say with Milosevic himself.
Det er emner, der naturligvis fortjener at blive uddybet, og det håber vi at kunne gøre ved andre lejligheder.
Al though we will be debating migration issues next, I simply cannot let the accusation stand that our action in this re spect is hypocritical.
Jeg kan dog ikke lade være med at give udtryk for en vis skuffelse - men den håber jeg, De vil fjerne med Deres svar, fru formand - over Deres tavshed med hensyn til spørgsmålet om Maltas optagelse i Den Europæiske Union.
The Austrian Presidency produced a working paper, which gave rise to a number of misunderstandings, because obviously under no circumstances were we going to do away with the Geneva Convention on the Status of Refugees and its instruments; in fact, it was only referring to complementary protection measures.
Jeg er glad for, at konferencen var i stand til at finde frem til en mekanisme, hvormed man kunne behandle disse problemer nu frem for at vente, indtil vi har forhandlet os frem til fuldt EU-medlemskab.
Incidentally, there has been cooperation on migration and asylum within the European Union for longer than you think.
Det er efter min opfattelse et fremskridt for kontinentets sikkerhed.
But I will say more about that during the next de bate.
Også kommissæren, som jeg ved forskellige lejligheder har lyttet til i forbindelse med møderne i Det Blandede Udvalg, forekom mig at være lidt mere afvisende denne gang, end han har været andre gange, selvom vi står over for en specifik anmodning om optagelse fra den nye maltesiske regerings side.
The Serbian and Yugoslav authorities are always claim ing that they are, after all, only defending themselves against terrorists and separatists, and that the military of fensive is merely a response to the attacks carried out by the KLA.
Vi ville gerne have, at man var mere imødekommende, og at man var lige så entusiatisk med hensyn til Malta som med hensyn til de andre lande, man planlægger at optage.
Obviously, the KLA bears some of the responsibility for the worsening security situation, but we should keep a sense of proportion.
Situationen i Europa er helt ærlig en hån mod civiliserede samfund.
As for the European Union, what I said three weeks ago still stands.
Det er en hån mod civilisationen at have børnemisbrug, ja og faktisk at have en tilbagevenden til slaveri i Europa.
It demands an immediate halt to the violence and early negotiations to find a political settlement to the crisis.
Men vi ved selvfølgelig, at den institutionelle reform er en af forudsætningerne for virkelig at kunne optage nye tiltrædelseskandidater.
Ferrero-Waldner goslav Government, banning new investment in Serbia, and lastly banning the Yugoslav airlines from flying and landing.
overholde Maastricht-kriterierne fuldt ud. Det er sandt, at der har været nogle afvigelser - som arbejderpartiets regering har forårsaget i de sidste to år - i forhold til for to år siden, hvor Malta til fulde opfyldte Maastricht-kriterierne.
ports the proposal, drafted by the United States and ex pressly approved by the Contact Group, for an interim agreement, and sees this as the most important starting point for any negotiated solution.
Nu gælder det om at indhente det tabte.
The Union is particularly active in the humanitarian field.
Det spørgsmål om neutraliteten, som blevet taget op her i salen, er blevet besvaret af premierministeren, som netop sagde, at problemet kan løses.
In the margins of the United Nations General Assembly, EU foreign ministers agreed to appoint the Austrian Am bassador in Belgrade, Wolfgang Petritsch, as special EU envoy to Kosovo.
Malta har således alle forudsætningerne i orden.
Two days ago, the Council also adopted the corresponding formal decisions.
Dette var ikke så selvfølgeligt, og vi kæmpede også for det lige til det sidste.
In the same way, it is agreed that, wherever possible, Mon tenegro should not suffer as a result of the sanctions ap plied.
Så me get mere glædeligt er det, at det lykkedes os. Naturligvis støtter og håber vi, at starten på tiltrædelsesforhandlingerne også igen påvirker den politiske forhandlingsproces i positiv retning, og vi har meget tæt kontakt til FN's generalsekretær Kofi Annan på dette område.
Nevertheless, at the most recent Council meeting, in Luxembourg, it was decided to examine the gaps in the current sanction regime and make proposals to close them.
Jeg mener ikke, at man kan føre en seriøs middelhavspolitik uden at indlemme Malta i Den Europæiske Union.
In the Council's discussions and many other events over the last few days, however, another more fundamental de velopment has become apparent.
Fordelene herved ville være betydelige, eftersom middel havspolitikken er en af de vigtige politikker, der skal iværksættes i de kommende år.
A certain shift of opin ion on the crisis in Kosovo can be observed within the in ternational community.
Landet er den anden vigtige grænse, og vi vil ikke kunne behandle problemerne med den store indvandring, hvis vi ikke fører den seriøse politik, der blev påbegyndt i Barcelona.
There is increasingly clear sup port for tougher action from the international community.
Malta spiller en nødvendig hovedrolle i alt dette, og det er derfor, vi går stærkt ind for Maltas optagelse i Den Europæiske Union.
Resolution 1199, adopted by the United Nations Security Council on 23 September, was the first outward sign of this.
Hvad angår Tyrkiet, vil jeg gerne gøre opmærksom på, at formandskabet stadig bestræber sig på at bringe dette as socieringsråd med Tyrkiet i stand, og selvfølgelig foregår der også her forhandlinger med den ene og den anden side, men vi har stadig ikke fået noget gennembrud.
Revisiting an initiative of foreign ministers Mr Kinkel and Mr Védrine, the presidency has also set up working groups in Belgrade and Geneva, composed of interested EU states, the USA, Russia, UNHCR, the ICRC, and the ECMM and KDOM observer missions.
Det vil vi bestræbe os på som minimum indtil afslutningen af vores formandskab.
The aim, by un dertaking concerted action agreed on the spot, is to identify villages and towns to which the displaced people, at present living in the open air, can return, in safety and with dignity.
I øvrigt er emnet indvandring og asyl heller ikke så nyt i samarbejdet inden for Den Europæiske Union.
This initiative aims to make it easier for displaced people living in the open in the Komorane and Lapusnik area to return home.
Men det kommer jeg ind på under den næste debat.
In addition, it provides for a number of accompanying, confidence-building measures.
Men jeg mener, at vi har svaret i den hurtigst mulige form, og jeg ønsker på ingen måde at blive forstået sådan, at vi har en eller anden form for dyb modvilje mod Malta.
There is no doubt that the decisions which lie ahead are also of tremendous significance for the European Union.
Tværtimod, det glæder os meget, at Malta igen er om bord, hvis jeg må sige det sådan.
After all, they affect the security and stability of the whole continent.
Jeg har modtaget syv beslutningsforslag om dette emne, jf. Forretningsordenens artikel 37, stk. 2. (')
I refer, in this context, to what happened in places such as Gornje Obrinje, where dozens of innocent people, including in particular elderly people, children and pregnant women, were tortured and murdered.
Afstemningen finder sted på torsdag kl. 12.
For the sake of the presidency, which is involved in the work of the Contact Group, I do not wish to pre-empt these decisions.
Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er forhandling om Rådets og Kommissionens redegørelser om situ ationen i Kosovo.
In any case, it is clear to me personally, that Europe and the international community can no longer stand by and watch, while the acts of violence and massacres in Kosovo continue.
For det andet vil jeg gerne kort nævne Syrien ogTyrkiet. Selvfølgelig er også Den Europæiske Union og Rådet bekymrede over spændingerne i regionen, og i øjeblikket støtter vi ægypternes bestræbelser på at bringe en vis ro over situationen.
At its meeting two days ago, the Council condemned these atrocities and their perpetrators in the strongest pos sible terms, and called on the Belgrade authorities to in vestigate these abominable crimes without delay and pun ish those responsible.
I Salzburg blev det desværre, måske fordi det ikke var forberedt tilstrækkeligt nøjagtigt, af mange lande foreløbig afvist som forhastet.
Furthermore, it requested all those involved to cooperate with the International Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in the investigation of these crimes.
Jeg mener imidlertid selv, at der for disse stater - Ukraine, Moldavien, Hviderusland osv. - fremover selvfølgelig også skal skabes muligheder, så de får et perspektiv i det mindste vedrørende et samarbejde med Europa.
Besides this, in the light of repeatedly levelled ac cusations that horrific war crimes were being committed, the presidency has for months been arguing in favour of sending a team of experienced forensic experts to Kosovo. ovo.
Ferrero-Waldner, formand for Rådet. - (DE) Hr. for mand, mine damer og herrer, det er nøjagtig tre uger si den, jeg sidst talte med Dem om emnet Kosovo.
The resulting invitation from Belgrade University to a forensic team from Helsinki University on 2 October, represents the first modest fruits of our efforts.
Siden da er situationen på ny blevet skærpet dramatisk.
Finally, from the Union's point of view, I should also like to recall the decisions the EU made on sanctions.
Flygtningehøjkommissær Sadako Ogata besøgte Kosovo, Monte-
A tough response towards President Milosevic, of course.
Hvad angår de institutionelle reformer, der ligeledes blev omtalt, vil jeg gerne sige, at vi snart får Pörtschach.
But what use are all these tough statements? Our hands are more or less tied, and we have now just about done all we can in the area where the European Union has the power and scope to act, with political and diplomatic pressure and economic sanctions.
Dette spørgsmål vil godt nok sikkert ikke stå øverst på dagsor
However, I agree with the President-in-Office that it is rather worrying that it äp-
Ferrero-Waldner negro og Albanien så sent som i sidste uge. Hun kunne berette om ca. 200.000 flygtninge og internt fordrevne. Ca.
Titley (PSE). - Mr President, for nine years I have sat in this Chamber and heard jots of pleas for a common for eign and security policy.
grupper i Beograd og Geneve, der består af interesserede EU-stater, USA, Rusland, UNHCR, IRKK samt EF's observatørkorps og KDOM.
pears to be so difficult to get a package of sanctions ap proved, and approved in such a way that the Member States are forced to take tough measures without backing down.
Målet er gennem samordnede procedurer, der fastlægges på stedet, at udpege de mindre byer og landsbyer, som de fordrevne, der i øjeblikket le ver under åben himmel, kan vende tilbage til, og det i sikkerhed og med værdighed.
I am thinking here of the ban on flights which, as far as I know, is still not being complied with by all the Member States. I think the necessary measures have now been taken here, but the real sticking point, which has us going round in circles, is whether humanitarian intervention using military means is allowed or not.
Formandskabet har i de sidste dage desuden forelagt EU-partnerne et project home.
It is not primarily for the Commission to answer this question.
Beograds gentagne bebudelser om, at kampene ville blive indstillet og de serbiske stridskræfter trukket tilbage, har vist sig at være usande eller at være taktiske manøvrer fra præsident Milosevics side.
Month after month we have heard Members of this European Parliament demanding ever tougher action in Kosovo, and yet we discover in the General Affairs Council that the countries these Members represent are the countries which are not prepared to take action on Kosovo.
Dette er i modstrid med virkeligheden, sådan som fru Ogata opfattede den, og det, hun løbende underretter KDOM om.
The common foreign and security policy is being seen as a total sham!
Dette er også i mod strid med det, som FN's generalsekretær anførte i den rapport, han fremlagde for Sikkerhedsrådet i går, om, at de serbiske sikkerhedsstyrker gør brug af terror- og voldshandlinger mod civilbefolkningen i Kosovo.
It is un acceptable to the peoples of Europe to see every day on their television scenes of atrocities and massacres; to see the problems of refugees; to see the déstabilisation of a re gion of Europe as more and more refugees go into Albania and put more pressure on FYROM, so that the whole region could explode; and to see the European Union, the Council of Ministers, simply not prepared to do anything.
At vi den forestående vinter taget i betragning styrer mod en humanitær katastrofe, hvis denne situation ikke snart ændres, er desværre mere end åbenlyst.
We have often discussed the lessons to be learnt from Bosnia, and now history is repeating itself and an other humanitarian disaster is looming.
Situationen er derfor særlig dramatisk for bør nene, de gamle og de syge.
It took 300 000 people to die in Bosnia before we realised this -how many will it take in Kosovo?
