Agter Rådet ufortøvet at fremsætte en advarsel over for den tyrkiske regering om, at enhver foranstaltning, som den træffer — ved gentagen anvendelse af en fait accompli-politik — med henblik på at undergrave perspektiverne for hele Republikken Cyperns medlemskab af Den Euro pæiske Union, vil stille spørgsmålstegn ved de samlede forbindelser mellem Den Europæiske Union og Tyrkiet samt toldunionen, for så vidt som denne skulle blive gennemført?
Senior members of the Turkish Government are taking every opportunity (e.g. statement by the Foreign Minister Karayalcin of 25 February 1995) of repeating that, in the event of the Republic of Cyprus' acceding to the European Union, Turkey would annex the northern part of Cyprus.
Lamassoure, formand for Rådet. — (FR) Hr. formand, jeg tror ikke, der er tale om en modsætning her.
I assume, in the meantime, that messages have been passed to Mr Lamassoure.
Jeg tror heller ikke, således som hr. Samland udtrykte frygt for, at der kan være tale om en forkert fortolkning mellem budgetministeren, der deltog i forhandlingen med delegationen fra Budgetudvalget her i formiddags, og os her i eftermiddag.
Would he care to comment on the differences between his speech and what was said this morning?
Det er i dag en anden, som er udenrigsminister i Tyrkiet.
It could have an outcome on the way we vote on Thursday.
Jeg har altså ikke indtryk af, at der var tale om en modsætning eller misforståelse.
Lamassoure, President-in-Office of ¡he Council. — (FR) Mr President.
I beslutninger, der vedtoges under mødeperioderne i december 1994 og februar 1995, anmodede Europa-Parlamentet om, at forslaget til aftale om toldunionen EU-Tyrkiet underkastes proceduren med samstemmende udtalelse.
Cyprus, and also the position that the European Union will proceed to commence negotiations with Cyprus irrespectively of what Turkey says, will be incorporated in the conclusions of the next European Council in Cannes, a fact that would lend weight to those positions.
Som bekendt bør EØF-traktatens artikel 238 være retsgrundlag for den retsakt, i henhold til hvilken toldunionen skal oprettes, samt finansprotokollen EU-Tyrkiet af følgende årsager:
Moreover, after the EU-Turkey Association Council, which was held on 6 March, the President-in-Office — Mr Juppé, the French Minister for Foreign Affairs — wrote his Greek counterpart a three-page letter in which he reminded him that, as far as the status of Cyprus was concerned, the European Union supported the application of the relevant resolutions of the United Nations, which aimed to set up a single, twocommunity and two-zone State.
Jeg oplyste ved den lejlighed alle nødvendige enkeltheder.
The Turkish government has behaved in a way which we criticize and which the troika has criticized.
Artikel 238 har hidtil været det vigtigste retsgrundlag for den oprindelige associeringsaftale fra 1963 samt de senere dertil hørende tillægs- og finansprotokoller.
I shall report on this to Parliament the day after tomorrow and, in any case, I repeat that, in due course, the European Parliament will have to give its assent to the various modalities of the customs agreement with Turkey.
Toldunionen er reelt et tredjelands associering med Fællesskabet. lesskabet.
President. — As they deal with the same subject, the following questions will be taken together:
I lyset af ovenstående anmodes Rådet om følgende oplysninger:
Question No 2 by Nikitas Kaklamanis (H-0200/95/rev. 1)
Jeg anførte, at det intermezzo, som hr. Karayatsins uacceptable udtalelser gav anledning til, siden den 6. marts i år kl. 23 har været anset for ude af verden. Siden har også den græske regering indtaget samme holdning i lighed med den cypriotiske regering, hvis udenrigsminister jeg personlig modtog i Paris den 20. marts.
Under these circumstances, the incident may be regarded as closed, all the more so as, since then, the Turkish Minister has been repudiated by his Prime Minister, and replaced — there is now, in fact, a new Minister for Foreign Affairs in Turkey.
Hvad er retsgrundlaget for det finansielle samarbejde mellem EU og Tyrkiet?
Subject: Customs Union between the European Union and Turkey
Jeg tilføjer, at Rådet på torsdag efter Parlamentets anmodning vil afgive en ny redegørelse om situationen i Tyrkiet og om forbindelserne mellem Den Europæiske Union og Tyrkiet.
European public opinion was astonished when, only a matter of hours after an agreement had been concluded in principle between the European Union and Turkey, the Turkish Foreign Minister threatened to partition the independent Republic of Cyprus.
Jeg mener at dette spørgsmål under disse omstændigheder er udtømt.
Adopting a politically inflexible attitude to the human rights situation in Turkey, he then expressed total contempt for the European Parliament. ment.
Kranidiotis (PSE). — (EL) Hr. formand, jeg tror ikke, vi bør undervurdere betydningen af hr. Karayatsins udtalelser.
— Firstly, whether during the Troika's visit the matter was raised with the Turkish government, as the presidency and Commissioner Van den Broek undertook to do when the Foreign Minister of Greece, Mr Papoulias, raised the subject in the Council.
Jeg er bekendt med hr. Juppés skrivelse, som hr. Lamassoure nævnte.
Will the Council say whether it intends to react to this behaviour and, if so, how?
Lamassoure, formand for Rådet. — (FR) Jeg har allerede haft lejlighed til at komme ind på dette spørgsmål under den forhandling, Parlamentet førte om Tyrkiet i marts i år.
and Question No 3 by Yannos Kranidiotis (H-0212/95) Subject: Legal basis of the EU-Turkey customs union
Jeg vil gerne spørge, om de synspunkter, der gives udtryk for i denne skrivelse, og som støtter den tyrkiske regerings legitimitet og dens ret til at repræsentere hele Republikken Cypern, samt det synspunkt, at Den Europæiske Union vil indlede forhandlinger med Cypern, uanset hvad Tyrkiet siger, vil blive inddraget i konklusionerne fra Det Europæiske Råds næste møde i Cannes, hvilket vil give disse synspunkter en vis vægt.
— Secondly, since today the issue of Customs Union between Turkey and the European Union is under discussion, and following the events in Iraq, whether the matter of Cyprus's accession procedures is totally independent of the subject of Customs Union between Turkey and the European Union.
Rådets kompetente tjeneste grene arbejder på den juridiske finpudsning af teksterne om toldunionen, men jeg kan ikke oplyse noget om tidsplanen.
In its resolutions adopted at the December 1994 and February 1995 part-sessions.
Det forekommer mig sandsynligt, at Parlamentet vil blive anmodet om en udtalelse i slutningen af sommeren eller i begyndelsen af efteråret.
Parliament called for the draft agreement on the customs union between the EU and Turkey to be submitted to it for its assent.
Jeg bekræfter, at vi i overmorgen efter Parlamentets anmodning får en forhandling om forbindelserne mellem Den Europæiske Union og Tyrkiet.
The legal act establishing the customs union and the financial protocol between the EU and Turkey should clearly take Article 238 of the EC Treaty as their legal basis on the following grounds:
Den tyrkiske regering har udvist en adfærd, som vi er kritiske overfor og som trojkaen er kritisk overfor.
— a customs union is the very embodiment of association between a third country and the Community.
Det vil jeg redegøre for i Parlamentet i overmorgen og jeg gentager, at Europa-Parlamentet, når tiden er inde, skal afgive samstemmende udtalelse om de forskellige aspekter af toldaftalen med Tyrkiet.
I indicated that the incident provoked by Mr Karayalcin's unacceptable remarks had been regarded as closed since 6 March last, at 11 p.m.
Det er for øvrigt emnet for et andet spørgsmål og under de omstændigheder har vi al mulig garanti for, at begge parter kan nå frem til det fælles mål, vi har sat os.
Since then, it has been regarded as such by the Greek government, and also by the government of Cyprus, whose Minister for Foreign Affairs I personally received on 20 March, in Paris.
Kaklamanis (RDE). — (EL) Hr. rådsformand, Deres svar har vakt blandede følelser hos mig.
Kranidiotis (PSE). — (EL) Mr President, I do not think we should underestimate the importance of Mr Karayalcin's statements.
Mindre tilfredshed ved at høre tidsplanen, men i hvert fald sagde De noget om tidsplanen, mens hr. Van den Broek ikke en gang ville komme ind på muligheden af, at det blev til efteråret.
I am indeed aware of the letter from Mr Juppé that the President-in-Office mentioned.
Udtalelserne blev fremsat, og det var trusler, og at ministeren er skiftet ud, har ingen betydning, for vi ved jo alle, at Tyrkiets udenrigspolitik ikke ændrer sig. Og selv om det var
I would like to ask whether the positions expressed in that letter, which uphold the legitimacy of the Cyprus government and its right to represent the entire domain of the Republic of
Efter at have omtalt menneske rettighedssituationen i politisk stejle vendinger gav han udtryk for sin suveræne foragt for Europa-Parlamentet.
Lamassoure, President-in-Office of the Council. — (FR) I have already had occasion to touch on this issue during the debate which Parliament devoted to Turkey in March.
Kan Rådet oplyse, hvilke foranstaltninger det vil træffe med henblik på at reagere på denne adfærd?
I should therefore simply like to remind the House that the EU-Turkey Association Council, which was held in Brussels on 6 March last, adopted three texts: first, a decision on the modalities for the entry into force of the customs union; secondly, a
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 4 af Alfred Lomas (H-0198/95): Om: Tyrkiske agenters aktiviteter i EU
situation in Turkey and relations between the European Union and that country. I proposed that it should be held this morning.
Rådet vil være bekendt med erklæringen fra Dogan Gures, tyrkisk stabschef, om, at der er blevet sendt 160 snigmordere til Europa for at udrydde kurdiske aktivister og deres tilhængere (ifølge rapporter i »Hurieyt« i 1994), og at dette har ført til drabet på Theofilis Georgides den 20. marts 1994 i Nicosia og nedskydningen af Imdat Yilmaz den 7. februar 1994 i Nicosia.
These three texts will be submitted together to the European Parliament even though, legally — according to the Council's services — only the first of the three, in other words, the customs union, is subject to the assent procedure pursuant to Article 238 of the Treaty.
I London sætter politiet et drabsforsøg på Nafiz Bostanci, formand for det kurdiske og tyrkiske Halkevi-center i London i forbindelse med MIT (den tyrkiske efterretningstjeneste).
The relevant Council services are working on finalizing the legal aspects of the texts relating to the customs union, but I cannot tell you what the schedule for this will be.
Agter Rådet at rette henvendelse til den tyrkiske regering om, at det ikke vil tolerere agenter for en udenlandsk regering, der begår udenretslige snigmord i EU?
What I think likely is that Parliament will have occasion to give its opinion on this at the end of the summer or beginning of autumn.
Lamassoure. — (FR) Da hr. Kaklamanis igen stillerdet samme spørgsmål, vil jeg komme med det samme svar, for jeg har ikke to tunger.
Mr President, I am, naturally, willing to reply to specific questions.
Og så vil jeg sige til Dem, hr. Kaklamanis, at man bør sørge for, at ens ur går præcist.
I replied — by mistake, and I apologize — to Question No 3 by Mr Kranidiotis on the legal bases of the customs union with Turkey.
Det intermezzo, De netop har omtalt igen, har været betragtet som værende ude af verden siden den 6. marts kl. 23, og det gælder både for Den Europæiske Union og for den tyrkiske, den græske og den cypriotiske regering.
Kranidiotis (PSE). — (EL) I know that Mr Lamassoure, the President-in-Office of the Council, has answered my question, so I am now putting a supplementary, rather late in the day.
Den, der fremsatte de udtalelser, De med rette kritiserer, er blevet desavoueret af regeringschefen og er i dag ikke mere tyrkisk udenrigsminister. Dét må da kunne tilfredsstille Dem.
I would first like to thank him, because he was fairly clear about the legal issue of bringing up Customs Union with Turkey before Parliament for its favourable opinion.
Alavanos (GUE/NGL). — (EL) Hr. formand, i sit svar til hr. Kaklamanis talte rådsformanden om tidsplanen og problemets størrelse, som det så ud før de seneste begivenheder.
Kaklamanis (RDE). — (EL) Mr President-in-Office, I listened to your answer with mixed feelings.
Med de seneste begivenheder mener jeg Tyrkiets militærinvasion af et område, der er under FN-beskyttelse og tilhører et andet land.
Satisfaction, because you reconfirmed that the Council will respect Parliament and bring up the issue of Customs Union here before us for ratification, and not just at the first stage.
Lamassoure, formand for Rådet. — (FR) Hr. Alfred Lomas har henvist til udtalelser fremsat af hr. Dogan Gures, tyrkisk stabschef, om, at der er blevet sendt 160 snigmordere — jeg citerer hr. Lomas — til Europa for at udrydde kurdiske aktivister ifølge en artikel i avisen Hurieyt i 1994.
Less satisfaction on hearing the time schedule, but at any rate you at least spoke of a schedule, whereas Mr Van den Broek had avoided mentioning even the possibility of autumn.
Han spørger, om Rådet tolererer, at agenter for en udenlandsk regering begår udenretslige snigmord i Den Europæiske Union. Jeg svarer naturligvis, hr. Lomas, at hverken Rådet eller medlemsstaterne kan tolerere denne adfærd.
As for the first part of your answer, however, I felt no satisfaction, first because when you first answered, you told us that Mrs Ciller had denied Mr Karayalcin's statements, while in your second answer you yourself admitted that the statements were made, and you indeed described them as unacceptable.
Jeg vil gerne spørge formanden, om disse begivenheder er helt uden betydning, eller har Tyrkiets invasion i Irak ændret betingelserne, tidsplanen og Rådets politiske holdninger?
Yet, I would like to point out the vagueness that surrounds the schedule, and also point out that the most recent developments, with Turkey's incursion into northern Iraq, should lead the Council to review its position since, at this time, it is quite unthinkable to bring up Customs Union before the European Parliament for approval because it would be rejected out of hand.
Jeg forstår i øvrigt, at disse udtalelser, som jeg ikke havde kendskab til, er blevet videregivet i den tyrkiske avis Hurieyt.
Lamassoure. — (FR) Mr President, we will discuss this matter on Thursday.
Lomas (PSE). — (EN) Der er ingen mening i at blande PKK ind i det og finde endnu en slags undskyldning for Tyrkiet ved at sige, at denne person ikke længere er der.
President. - Question No 4 by Alfred Lomas (H-0198/95) Subject: Turkish agents' activities in EC
Lamassoure. — (FR) Jeg ser, at Rådets formandskab straffes for sin gode vilje.
You must be aware of the contradiction that exposes, because you were in fact right.
Rådet har endnu en gang accepteret, at der bliver en forhandling om situationen i Tyrkiet og Den Europæiske Unions forbindelser med dette land.
Parliament should have answered and not you yourself — about how you regard Mr Karayalcin's statements to the European Parliament, whose right to comment on human rights in Turkey you are question ing.
Jeg kommer tilbage på torsdag for at deltage i den.
Mr Kaklamanis, that one must stay abreast of events.
Jeg har erkendt, at der jo er nogle præcise spørgsmål om visse af vore forbindelser med Tyrkiet.
The incident to which you have just referred again has been closed since 11 p.m. on 6 March, both for the European Union and for the Turkish, Greek and Cypriot governments.
Jeg konstaterer, at medlemmerne ved at gå ud over disse præcise spørgsmål bringer hele problemkomplekser på bane igen.
The person who made the remarks you so rightly criticize has been repudiated by his Prime Minister, so much so that he is no longer Minister for Foreign Affairs in Turkey.
Hr. formand, jeg er naturligvis rede til at svare på præcise spørgsmål.
In London, the Metropolitan Police are linking an attempt to shoot Nafiz Bostanci, Chair of Halkevi Kurdish and Turkish Community Centre in London, to MIT (Turkish Special Intelligence).
Jeg svarede — ved en fejltagelse og jeg siger undskyld, jeg troede det var spørgsmål nr. 3, det drejede sig om — på spørgsmål nr. 3 af Kranidiotis om retsgrundlaget for toldunionen EU-Tyrkiet.
Will the Council advise the Turkish Government that it will not tolerate agents of a foreign government committing extra judicial killings within the EC?
Kranidiotis (PSE). — (EL) Jeg kan forstå, at formanden for Rådet, hr. Lamassoure, har svaret på mit spørgsmål, og jeg vil derfor stille mit tillægsspørgsmål nu, lidt forsinket.
Alavanos (GUE/NGL). — (EL) Mr President, in answering Mr Kaklamanis's question, the President-in-Office again referred to the time schedule and the size of the problem, as they stood before the most recent events.
Kendsgerningen er, at Tyrkiet ikke blot jager kurdere i sin egen stat, men nu også gør det i Irak og i EU-lande. Ingen mindre end Scotland Yard, det britiske politi, har nu opsporet en eller anden i Istanbul, der står i forbindelse med den tyrkiske efterretningstjeneste, som var inddraget i drabsforsøget på en af mine vælgere, som støtter det kurdiske folk.
Lamassoure, President-in-Office of the Council. — (FR) Mr Alfred Lomas has referred to the remarks made by Mr Dogan Gures, the Turkish Chief of Staff, according to whom 160 assassins — and I quote Mr Lomas — have been sent to Europe to eliminate Kurdish activists, according to a 1994 report in the Hiirriyet newspaper.
Jeg mener virkelig, det er på tide, at Rådet kraftigt tilkendegiver sin holdning over for Tyrkiet og siger: »Nu kan det være nok. Vi vil ikke have, at jeres agenter kommer til Europa og myrder vore folk. Stands det!«
He is asking if the Council will tolerate agents of a foreign government committing illegal assassinations on the territory of the European Union.
Det er første gang, han har nævnt traktatens artikel 238 som grundlag for denne udtalelse.
Might it be that Turkey's incursion into Iraq somewhat changes the Council's assumptions, time schedules and political attitudes?
Lamassoure. — (FR) Hr. Lomas, det er den tale, vi med regelmæssige mellemrum holder forde tyrkiske myndigheder.
Lamassoure. — (FR) I see that the presidency of the Council is being punished for its goodwill.
Vær forvisset om, at vi ikke går på akkord i denne sag.
The Council agreed once again to a debate on the
Kaklamanis (RDE). — (EL) Hr. rådsformand, De ved meget bedre end os, at det ikke er regeringen, der har den reelle magt i Tyrkiet, men hærens generalstab. Jeg vil derfor bede Dem
I should like to remind you, however, that, since September 1994, General Gures is no longer Chief of Staff, and that his statements are therefore not binding on the Turkish authorities. Furthermore.
Kaklamanis oplyse os, om den tyrkiske regering har reageret på generalens udtalelser, og hvis ikke, om Rådet agter at bede den tyrkiske regering tage stilling.
Lamassoure and the Council participate in a struggle against terrorism in all its forms, including the terrorism of the PKK in Member States, and that this is an additional reason for us to be firm with the Turkish authorities regarding the methods used in combatting terrorism.
Jeg vil også bede Dem tage Deres ord om synkronisering af vore ure tilbage, da det åbenbart snarere er Dem, der skal foretage en synkronisering, idet De svarede på et andet spørgsmål end det, formanden bad Dem tage stilling til.
negotiating procedures for the accession of Cyprus will begin six months after the conclusion of the 1996 Inter governmental Conference and that Malta is expected to be included in these negotiations, can the Council say what particular role it intends to allocate to these two countries, with a view to preparing the Barcelona Conference?
Jeg vil gerne stille et uddybende spørgsmål vedrørende den strukturerede optagelsesdialog med Cypern, som er nævnt i Rådets seneste afgørelse om Cyperns optagelse. Jeg vil gerne spørge, om denne strukturerede dialog er indledt på dette tidspunkt. Kunne Middelhavskonferencen ikke være en passende anledning til at indlede denne strukturerede dialog med Cypern og Malta?
Lomas (PSE). — There is no point in dragging in the PKK and finding yet another sort of apology for Turkey by saying that this particular person is no longer there.
Lamassoure. — (FR) Jeg gentager, hr. Kaklamanis, at general Gures ikke længere var stabschef, da han fremsatte disse udtalelser, som derfor ikke inddrager de tyrkiske myndigheder.
Lamassoure, President-in-Office of the Council. — (FR) Mr Hatzidakis wants to know how Cyprus and Malta will be associated with the Barcelona Conference on the Mediterranean. nean.
Jeg gentager, at vi tager dette problem op hver gang, vi mødes med de tyrkiske ledere, og at vi står fast på, at de midler, der tages i anvendelse til bekæmpelsen af terrorismen, skal være forenelige med den opfattelse, vi i Europa har af frihedsrettigheder, lov og ret samt menneskerettigheder.
I should like to remind you. briefly, that the French and Spanish presidencies, in agreement with their partners, wish to make 1995 an important year for the Mediterranean and that on this occasions we wish — and this is the aim of the Barcelona Conference — to propose to all the countries bordering the Mediterranean a common framework for cooperation which will include commercial, cultural, political and financial aspects.
Endvidere kom mer jeg igen torsdag formiddag til den store forhandling om forbindelserne mellem Den Europæiske Union og Tyrkiet.
The fact is Turkey is not only hounding Kurdish people in their own state, it is now doing it in Iraq and in European Community countries.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 5 af Konstantinos Hatzidakis (H-0205/95):
Lamassoure. — (FR) Mr Lomas, this is what we say regularly to the Turkish authorities.
Lamassoure. — (FR) Ærede medlem, den strukturerede dialog indledes allerede på det næste møde i Associeringsrådet EU-Cypern på en dato, der fastsættes inden længe. Jeg tilføjer, at vi allerede har hyppige og udmærkede forbindelser med de cypriotiske myndigheder.
Cyprus and Malta are of course among the countries which will be invited to the Barcelona Conference, like all the countries bordering the Mediterranean, and they will also be able to take active part in its preparation, since we would like this conference, rather than an even organized unilaterally by the European Union, to be designed and planned in close liaison with the countries which will be its primary beneficiaries, in other words, our Mediterranean partners.
Jeg henviste for lidt siden til det møde, jeg havde med den cypriotiske udenrigsminister den 20. marts i Paris.
Naturally, Cyprus and Malta will be particularly associated with it as they are due to join the European Union.
Jeg mødes med ham igen i ugens slutning, fordi Cypern for øjeblikket er formand for Europarådets Ministerudvalg og fordi det påhviler Unionens franske formandskab at arrangere det første bilaterale møde i lang tid mellem Den Europæiske Unions og Europarådets institutioner.
In April, a troika of top-level civil servants led by the French Ambassador, Mr Prague, who has been specially appointed to pursue this matter, will visit its partners, in particular in Nicosia and Valetta.
Palacio Vallelersundi (PPE). — (ES) Hr. rådsformand Jeg vil gerne komplimentere Rådet for dette initiativ, som jeg finder absolut nødvendigt for at skabe balance i den europæiske opbygning.
Kaklamanis (RDE). — (EL) Mr President-in-Office, you know much better than we do that the real power in Turkey is not the government, but the General Staff of the Armed Forces.
Som det hedder i en spansk talemåde: »man må vende blikket mod syd for ikke at miste orienteringen« — hvilket er en glimrende sammenfatning af betydningen af konferencen om Middelhavsområdet.
I would therefore like you to tell us whether the Turkish government reacted to the General's statements, and if not. whether as the Council, you intend to ask the Turkish government to adopt a position.
