IN THE CHAIR: Mr HÀNSCH President has been made.
Europa-Parlamentets forhandlinger
(Applause) (Parliament approved the Minutes)
Formanden. - Dersom der var tale om afstemning ved navn, hvilket jeg for øjeblikket ikke har præsent, vil det blive rettet.
I would ask your, Mr President, to express on behalf of the Parliament your sympathy with the victims and their families.
(Mødet åbnet kl. 9.00)
(Laughter)
Formanden. - Protokollen fra mødet i går er omdelt.
President. ■ That will be corrected, since it was a roll call vote.
Hvis ingen gør indsigelse, betragter jeg den som god kendt.
Wolf (V). ­ (DE) Mr President, I wanted to abstain in the vote on Amendment No 3.
Jeg står opført, som om jeg har stemt nej til beslutningsforslaget vedrørende Nordirland, men det var min hensigt at stemme ja.
I know it is too late to do anything about this now but we need to know why this has happened and ensure that it never happens again. (')
Langer (V). - (DE) Hr. formand jeg vil på min gruppes vegne gøre indsigelse i henhold til forretningsordenens artikel 162, stk. 5.
Langer (V). ­ (DE) Mr President, I want to announce that we have reservations, pursuant to Rule 162(5) of the Rules of Procedure.
I punkt 3 i mødeprotokollen foreslås deren fortolkning af forretningsordenens artikel 8, stk. 3, som vedrører medlemmers mandatnedlæggelse og konstateringen af, at et mandat er blevet ledigt.
Point 3 of the Minutes proposes an interpretation of Rule 8(3) of the Rules of Procedure relating to the resignation of Members and ascertaining that this resignation has taken effect.
Jeg vil ikke tage dette emne op nu, men blot rettidigt gøre indsigelse, for at der ikke automatisk sker dét, som altid sker, når ingen gør indsigelse, nemlig at det anses for den gælden de fortolkning.
I do not want to go into the matter now but simply state our reservations in good time so that we do not automatically find ourselves in the same situation that keeps arising if no­one objects, namely that this is regarded as a valid interpretation.
Vi vil endnu ikke stille os tilfreds med den, vi vil sikre, at alle medlemmer af Europa-Parlamentet, dersom de nedlægger deres mandat, retter sig efter bestemmelserne med henblik på, at alle medlemmer af Europa-Parlamentet, som træder i deres sted, også rent faktisk er legitimerede.
That is not good enough for us and we want to ensure that any Members of this House who resign do keep to the rules, so that any Members of the House who replace them really are legitimized.
Formanden. - Jeg tager Deres indsigelse til efterretning og vil sørge for, at sagen tages op.
President. ­ I take note of your objection and will ask for the matter to be checked.
Morris (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg tager ordet i en meget vigtig sag, da jeg er meget vred og skuffet over, at den aktuelle og uopsættelige debat ikke omfatter det beslutningsforslag, jeg fremsatte om verdens gadebørn.
On Item V ­ natural disasters ­ I have two objections. The first is a motion from the Group of the Party of European Socialists (B4­0104/94) seeking to replace this item with a new subject 'Caterpillar Company' in the United Kingdom.
Deres situation er fortvivlet, de bliver mishandlet, udnyttet, brugt til børneprostitution.
Reason: 'The rights of workers in the Caterpillar Company in the United Kingdom are jeopar­dized by the non­recognition of the union, and the
Parlamentet kan give udtryk for stor medlidenhed med dyr - det kan jeg også selv - men børns velfærd vil vi ikke sætte på dagsordenenen.
Morris (PSE). ­ Mr President, I will take the floor on a very important issue and that is my deep sense of anger and frustration that we have not included in the urgencies, the motion that I submitted regarding the street children of the world.
Det kan vi virkelig ikke være bekendt.
Their plight is one of desperation, they are
Killilea (RDE). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne sige noget angående stemmemaskinen.
Documents received ­ Transfer of appropriations: sec Minutes
Senere gik en liste rundt, hvorpå mit navn ikke var anført under »ja«-stemmer.
The European Parliament must speak out urgently to protect the workers and recognize their union rights.' in this Reflection Group, as was decided in Corfu, will ensure that its views will form a major part of the preparations from the outset.
Det er højst uretfærdigt over for med lemmer, der offentligt har tilkendegivet, hvad de stemte, at de senere på dagen skal se, at deres navn ikke engang står på den færdige liste.
I have received a motion from the Group of the Party of European Socialists (B4-0109/94) seeking to include a new subparagraph 'Protection of elephants in South Africa' to be added.
Selv om vi ikke stemmer på den rigtige måde, bør vi i tilfælde som dette stå på den pågældende liste.
Reason: 'It is urgently necessary to do something to help this threatened animal species'.
(Protokollen godkendtes)
(Parliament adopted the resolution)
Formanden. - Hr. Killilea, De sagde i går udtrykkelig, at De ville stemme ja.
We are gathering new experience every day in relation to the implementation of the treaty.
Deres navn vil også blive tilføjet bilaget.
So the Council is agreed that the report should not be finished until the end of the French presidency.
Jeg vil imidlertid gerne gøre kollegerne opmærksom på, at det ikke altid er stemmemaskinen, der ikke virker, men at sådanne uheld ofte skyldes forkert betjening af afstemningsanlægget.
The Council is therefore awaiting with great interest the report by the European Parliament on the functioning of the Treaty on European Union and the contributions of the two MEPs in the Reflection Group.
(Munterhed)
Multispeed Europe
Ingen formodede dengang, at vi så hurtigt derefter på ny skulle konfronteres med en virkelig katastrofe med en færge, således som det er sket i nat, og hvorved næsten 800 mennesker er omkommet ifølge de første beretninger. Jeg vil bede Dem, hr. formand, om også nu på Parlamentets vegne at sende kondolenceskrivelser til ofrenes familier.
In the past, the European Parliament has put forward pioneering ideas and proposals for the further development of the Union and I am sure that it will once again make major contributions during its preparatory work for the 1996 intergovernmental conference. In the past.
Jeg kan meddele Dem, at vi i går, selvfølgelig uden at formode, hvad der skulle ske i nat, besluttede at optage sikkerhed på havet som et vigtigt punkt på dagsordenen for vort møde i Udvalget om Transport og Turisme den 11. oktober.
Seiler-Albring, President-in-office of the Council. - (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, to date the Council of the European Union has not talked about the subject of a 'two-speed Europe' or considered or discussed it.
Kjer Hansen (ELDR). - Hr. formand, jeg har en rettelse til afstemningerne fra i går i protokollen.
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, allow me to add a few words now from a German point of view (which means I am changing hats).
Jeg kan se, at mit navn er opført forkert under afstemningen vedrørende Irland, hvor jeg står opført, som om jeg har stemt nej, men det skal absolut være et ja fra min side, så jeg vil bede om, at det bliver rettet.
The Federal Government openly welcomes the fact that an intensive European political discussion has now begun. In Germany it is not only the political parties but also the Länder and representatives of other areas of public life, including the sciences, that are taking part in this discussion.
Formanden. - Det vil blive rettet, da der er tale om afstemning ved navn.
I attach importance to the fact that these are not Federal Government proposals.
Ewing (ARE). - (EN) Hr. formand Jeg vil gerne rejse et spørgsmål, der bekymrer alle os, der har interesse i Den Paritetiske Forsamling og den tredje verden.
In this connection, I am happy to report on the progress of the discussions in preparation for the 1996 intergovernmental conference.
Wolf (V). - (DE) Hr. formand, under afstemningen om ændringsforslag nr. 3 var det min hensigt at undlade at stemme.
In summer 1995, under the Spanish presidency, the Reflection Group on preparations for the intergovernmental conference will begin its activities.
Som det fremgår af denne elektroniske liste, er det ikke lykkedes.
From the German point of view, the issue in 1996 will be the continued dynamic deepening and widening of the Union.
Jeg vil ikke bare give teknikken skylden, måske har jeg selv gjort et eller andet forkert.
To that end we must develop the institutions in such a way as to make the Union more viable and retain the dynamism of integration.
Jeg anmoder blot om at få det rettet.
The European Union must
Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er redegørelse fra Rådet om Europa i flere hastigheder.
Seiler-Albring therefore adjust to future accessions, i.e. its institutional structure must be adapted to a growing membership.
Seiler-Albring, formand for Rådet. - (DE) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, i Den Europæiske Unions Råd er emnet Europa i to hastigheder hidtil ikke blevet berørt, det er hverken blevet overvejet eller drøftet. Jeg kender heller ikke noget til nogen plan om en gang i fremtiden at bringe dette emne på bane i Rådet.
Puerta (GUE). - (ES) Mr President, I wish to say that although our group has not officially signed the joint motion for a resolution, we have endorsed it, and wish to appear in the Minutes as a signatory to this political resolution tabled by seven political groups.
Jeg er derfor i dag ikke i stand til at forelægge Dem Rådets holdning til ideen om et Europa i to hastigheder.
We can only achieve this if we bring Europe closer to its people, not by simply making it more acceptable to their political elites, as some would have us believe.
Vi ved alle, at der i offentligheden er indledt en intensiv drøftelse af, hvorledes Den Europæiske Unions fremtidige opgaver kommer til at se ud.
We can only achieve this by working closely and in harmony with the parliaments of Member States so that they perform their role in mandating and examining national ministers before and after visits to Brussels and we in this House perform our role by mandating and examining the Council and the Commission as only we can do.
Men det en god skik, at Rådet ikke tager stilling til udtalelser fra medlemsstater ne.
In this way we can demonstrate that in conjunction, not in competition, with national parliaments we provide the people of Europe with real democratic oversight and control of decisions made at European level.
Udgangspunktet er Traktaten om Den Europæiske Union. Den gælder for tolv med lemsstater og fra den 1. januar 1995 med - hvad vi alle håber - et positivt resultat af folkeafstemningerne i de nordiske lande for seksten lande.
Green (PSE). - Mr President, can I also thank the President-in-Office for what was a very positive state ment from the German presidency about the role of the European Parliament in the run-up to the next Intergovernmental Conference.
Ingen vil mod sin vilje blive holdt udenfor, når integrationen følges op.
It was very gratifying to the Members of Parliament to hear that.
I henhold til forretningsordenens artikel 47 har jeg modtaget følgende skriftligt begrundede indsigelser mod listen over emner til debat om aktuelle og uopsættelige spørgsmål af væsentlig betydning.
Let us at this stage not get ourselves involved in the minutiae of Treaty revisions and of institutional arguments, as so often happens at European level and which frankly bores and frightens people.
Jeg gør opmærksom på, at afstemningen om disse indsigelser finder sted uden forhandling.
Vaclav Havel when he spoke to this Parliament some 18 months or so ago told us that we had created a very good technical Europe, but we had failed to give it a soul.
Til punkt 5 »Naturkatastrofer« er der ind gået to indsigelser.
The preliminary debate leading up to the IGC on the European Union must be about that soul.
Først en indsigelse fra De Europæiske Socialdemokraters Gruppe gående ud på, at dette punkt erstattes med et nyt punkt »Caterpillar i Det Forenede Kongerige« omfattende deres forslag til beslutning B40104/94.
It ought to be about that soul. If we fail in that the trials experienced in Member States with the Maastricht Treaty and its ratification will have been merely a curtain-raiser to problems that lie before us and frankly we will have deserved it.
Om de enkelte skridt i proceduren har Det Europæiske Råd på Korfu skabt klarhed.
Martens (PPE). - (NL) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen.
I sommeren 1995 vil den gruppe, der skal overveje, hvorledes regeringskonferencen skal forberedes, indlede sit arbejde.
The statement from the Council of the European Union naturally refers to some basic issues raised in a number of documents, especially the CDU/CSU paper.
Og den på Korfu vedtagne deltagelse fra Europa-Parlamentets side i denne gruppe sikrer, at dets ideer fra starten bliver en omfattende del af forberedelserne.
I think we should pay serious attention to the debate which was sparked off by various incidents, but particularly by that paper.
Green (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, må jeg lige gøre opmærksomhed på skævheden i, at Parlamentet nægter at indsætte et punkt på dagsordenen om den truede art i England, der hedder fagforeningstilhængere, og som også snart vil være truet i resten af Europa, mens det gerne vil drøfte elefanter i Sydafrika.
What is at stake is this: the European integration process has reached a critical stage and the European Union, if it fails to find a solution to a number of its existential problems in the next two to four years, will find itself not developing in the direction of greater convergence as intended in the Treaty of Maastricht, but becoming a loose association limited to a few economic elements and divided into various sub-groups.
Ewing (ARE). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg synes, det var en uværdig bemærkning, bare fordi forslaget blev afvist.
In other words, the paper paints a picture of the European Union possibly becoming a kind of patchwork quilt.
Mange af os har sympati for det pågældende spørgsmål; men det drejer sig om en igangværende sag, som kunne have været rejst med en mundtlig forespørgsel.
This kind of improved free trade area will not give Europe the chance to solve its existential problems and meet the challenges from outside.
Grundlaget for ovennævnte gruppes arbejde vil bl.a. blive udgjort af beretningerne fra organerne om, hvorledes den gældende traktat fungerer.
It is distinctly unhealthy if it is intended to close down debate, to predetermine the outcome or constrain genuine discussion.
I den forbindelse står alle institutioner over for de samme problemer: traktaten trådte først i kraft den 1. november 1993.
So today my group is ready to respond to some of the general comments and suppositions which have been aired in the European media recently about the shape of our Union.
Vi høster daglig nye erfaringer med omsætteisen af traktaten.
The Europe we Socialists want is a true Union of people, regions and Member States.
I Rådet er der derfor enighed om, at en beretning først skal være færdig ved udløbet af det franske formandskab.
We reject a Europe led by an exclusive few.
For mandskabet anmodede på Usedom formand Delors om at sikre, at den nuværende Kommission nedfælder sine erfaringer og i samarbejde med den udpegede nye for mand for Kommissionen, Santer, sikrer, at der bliver taget hensyn til dem.
The essence of the muchneeded public debate ought in our view to be how the Union can be made more responsive to the real needs of its citizens and how those citizens can take a real hold on their Union.
Europa-Parlamentet har ved tidlige re lejligheder ydet visionære bidrag til videreudviklingen af Den Europæiske Union.
We need a public debate which attempts to put into perspective what the Union is really about, not one which tries to create an institutional framework convenient to politicians and merely reflecting a current political expediency.
Rådet imødeser derfor med stor interesse Europa-Parlamentets beretning om, hvorledes Traktaten om Den Europæiske Union fungerer, samt indlæggene fra de to parlamentsmedlemmer i ovennævnte gruppe.
Those of our government leaders who argue either for a two-speed or a piecemeal Europe reflect a narrow blinkered thinking incapable of conceiving of the future in anything but the shortest of short-term thinking.
Formanden. - Fru Ewing, når De misbruger Deres anmodninger om ordet til forretningsordenen på den måde, kan jeg ikke mere give Dem ordet til forretningsordenen. ordenen.
I also think personally that we should recognise that in addition to the Europe founded on the Treaty of Rome, on the Single European Act and on Economic and Monetary Union, there has grown up an intergovernmental Europe, also an element of several speeds, which unfortunately has taken on more importance and whose powers, contrary to the intentions of the Treaty of Maastricht, have not developed in the direction of the Community.
Europa-Parlamentet har ved tidligere lejligheder fremlagt visionære planer og forslag til den videre udformning af Unionen, og jeg er sikker på, at det i sine forarbejder til regeringskonferencen i 1996 på ny vil yde vigtige bidrag.
nor to the specific task of financing the European Union, nor indeed to another essential issue, namely keeping the acquis communautaire, as we have asked of the four countries whose application for accession was favourably received.
I Tyskland deltager ikke kun de politiske partier, men også delstaterne og repræsentanter for andre af samfundslivets områder, f.eks. videnskaben, i denne drøftelse.
Secondly, compliance with the convergence criteria of the Maastricht Treaty will not allow all Member States to join in monetary union at the same time.
Det er godt og nødvendigt, at denne drøftelse føres, også selv om ideer og forslag i den forbindelse medfører strid. Ophavsmændene til diskussionsoplægget fra CDU/CSU-gruppen i den tyske forbundsdag, har i mange år været kendt som overbeviste forkæmpere for europæisk enhed.
It is essential to ensure, therefore, that monetary union is organized in such a way as to enable the Member States to participate in it to the extent that their means - in particular, their economic means - allow, in order to make it clear that a permanent inner circle is not being created.
Jeg lægger vægt på den konstatering, at der ikke er tale om forslag fra forbundsregeringen.
On the other hand, there can be no question of allowing those who are opposed to increased integration to hold things up.
Men hvis formålet er at dæmpe debatten, at afgøre udfaldet på forhånd eller begrænse den ægte debat, er det bestemt ikke sundt. Derfor er min gruppe i dag klar til at svare på nogle af de generelle kommentarer og formodninger, der er kommet frem her på det sidste i de europæiske medier angående Unionens udformning.
Lastly, I would make the point that the Member States must either opt for a genuine European Union, involving commitments in key areas such as currency, foreign and security policy, the environment and social solidarity, or accept the possibility of ad hoc groupings of Member States around different policy areas - groupings which would be both ineffective and impossible to handle.
Men vi gør det ved at spørge, i hvilken retning vi ønsker Den Europæiske Union skal gå.
The mishaps of the Schengen conference provide a good example, if I may say so, of the difficulties of such an approach.
Det bør være det afgørende punkt ved enhver yderligere revidering af traktaten.
The European Parliament, I am sure, will take up its responsibilities with courage and imagination.
Det Europa, vi socialister ønsker, er en ægte union af befolkninger, regioner og medlemsstater. Vi anerkender ikke et Europa styret af et eksklusivt fåtal.
These are the existential problems facing the European Union and the quest is now to find the right solution.
I vore øjne bør essensen af den så vigtige offentlige debat være, hvorledes Unionen kan gøres mere lydhør over for borgernes virkelige behov, og hvorledes borgerne kan få et mere håndgribeligt forhold til deres Union.
The answer cannot be a Europe à la carte which, as the resolution says, gives each Member State the right to opt out of a Community policy.
Vi har brug for en offentlig debat, der forsøger at synliggøre det, som Unionen virkelig drejer sig om, ikke en debat, der prøver at skabe en institutionel struktur, der passer til politiker ne, og som blot er en afspejling af, hvad der er politisk formålstjenligt.
Nor do I think that we should develop a form of European integration in which the country or group of countries with the slowest speed dictates the speed of the European integration process.
De af vore regeringsledere, der taler for enten et Europa i to hastigheder eller et Europa à la carte, repræsenterer en snæversynet tankegang med skyklapper på, som erude afstand til at tænke længere ud i fremtiden end de allernærmeste dage.
Where I believe the answer lies is in the Member States which have the political will to continue integration to be allowed to do so and take on the role stated in the resolution, namely the role as a stabilizing and unifying force in central and eastern Europe and in the Mediterranean basin.
Ud fra et tysk synspunkt drejer det sig i 1996 om en dynamisk videreførelse af uddybningen og udvidelsen af Unionen.
A new partner in the 1996 reform will undoubtedly be public opinion. I have seen it myself: because of its own dynamism Maastricht was the work of government leaders, ministers and diplomats.
Med henblik herpå skal vi videreudvikle institutionerne på en sådan måde, at Unionens funktionsevne styrkes og integrationsdynamikken bevares.
But the peoples of Europe have also appeared on the scene and we in the European Parliament will have to do the groundwork for that debate together with the national parliaments.
I den forbindelse skal Den Europæiske Union tage højde for kom mende tiltrædelser, dvs. at dens institutionsstruktur skal være beregnet på en voksende kreds af deltagere.
As the motion for a resolution says, the European Parliament should be on a equal footing with the governments of the Member States and the other European institutions, and as an equal partner should prepare that debate and play a major role in it.
Puerta (GUE). - (ES) Hr. formand Jeg ønsker at erklære, at selv om vi ikke har underskrevet den fælles beslutning officielt, tilslutter vi os den og vil gerne i protokollen stå opført som underskrivere af denne politiske beslutning fra syv politiske grupper.
Puerta (GUE). - (ES) Mr President, Madam President-in-Office, the Confederal Group of the European United Left wishes to express its serious concern at the proposals which have emerged from a number of political bodies, aimed at institutionalizing the so-called multispeed Europe, or a Europe of variable geometry.
Formanden. - Det vil helt sikkert blive noteret; mange tak, hr. Puerta. Vi går nu over til forhandlingen.
Spaak (ELDR). - (FR) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, today's debate is a timely one.
Lad os gøre det klart over for den europæiske befolkning, at vi ønsker en Union, der øger værdien af arbejdet i de nationale regeringer og parlamenter.
The European Parliament must make a rapid and comprehensive com mitment to tackling the Union's problems.
