Jeg er lykkelig over at se, at fornuften og ansvarligheden, og dermed Europa, har triumferet.
I am happy to see that reason and a sense of responsibility have triumphed and that, along with them, Europe has triumphed.
Santer-Kommissionen har på det politiske plan levet udmærket op til sit ansvar.
The Santer Commission has indeed taken on its political responsibilities.
Den har på udmærket vis gennemført indførelsen af euroen, og jeg håber, at euroen efter de chok, den har været ude for i de sidste dage, og som visse af troldmandens lærlinge her i Parlamentet og deres politiserende politik bærer ansvaret for, efter denne afstemning igen vil blive en stærk valuta til gavn for Unionens borgere.
It has indeed completed the introduction of the euro and I hope that after the shocks that the euro has already undergone in the last few days, for which certain sorcerer's apprentices in this Parliament and their political policies are responsible, I hope that after this vote the euro will once again become a strong currency serving the citizens of the Union.
Santer-Kommissionen har lagt Agenda 2000 frem for os.
The Santer Commission has submitted Agenda 2000 to us.
Nu er det så op til dette Parlament at befatte sig med de vigtige forslag i Agenda 2000, som flere hundrede millioner europæeres velfærd afhænger af, og som burde optage os langt mere end den nepotisme, man beskylder fru Cresson og andre for.
It is up to this Parliament to deal with these important Agenda 2000 proposals, on which the welfare of hundreds of millions of Europeans depends, and which should concern us a lot more than the nepotism of which Mrs Cresson and others are accused.
Kommissionen er gået styrket ud af denne prøvelse. Det ønsker jeg den tillykke med. Jeg viser den fornyet tillid og hævder, at det i dag er Europa, der står som sejrherren.
The Commission is stronger, having come through this test.
Bourlanges (PPE). — (FR) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, hvad var det meningen vi skulle gøre? Hvad har vi gjort? Det var ikke meningen, vi skulle stemme for mistillid, for det forslag, der er skyld i alle disse tumulter, blev fremsat i den eksplicitte hensigt at udtrykke tillid til Kommissionen.
Bourlanges (PPE). — (FR) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, what were we supposed to do?
Hvad har vi så gjort? Vi har gjort tre ting.
What have we done?
Der kunne ikke i denne forsamling findes et absolut flertal af parlamentarikere, som ville udtale, at de havde tillid til Santer-Kommissionen.
In this House an absolute majority of Members that had confidence in the Santer Commission could not be found.
Kommissionen har kastet sig ud i en djævelsk proces, ved enden af hvilken den ikke vil opnå den ønskede tillid.
The Commission engaged in a diabolical process, at the end of which it has not gained our confidence.
Vi har endvidere besluttet, hvilket er en krysteragtig adfærd, i stedet for at henrette Kommissionen at forlænge dens lidelser.
Moreover, we have made the cowardly decision to prolong the torture instead of executing the Commission.
Det er ikke særlig modigt.
That is not a brave thing to do.
Det er ikke i overensstemmelse med institutionernes myndighed.
It is not in accordance with the authority of the institutions.
Og endelig har vi som topmålet af krysteragtighed besluttet at forlade os på andre, for så vidt angår besværet med at administrere disse lidelser.
Finally, the most cowardly thing of all is that we have decided to leave it to others to administer the torture.
Vi har således på én og samme tid svækket Kommissionen og givet afkald på vores egne privilegier.
We have therefore both weakened the Commission and refused to exercise our own prerogatives.
Denne dag er en sorgens dag for Den Europæiske Unions institutioner.
Today is a day of mourning for the institutions of the European Union.
Giansily (UPE). — (FR) Hr. formand, jeg har ikke stemt for mistillidsvotummet, i modsætning til det store flertal af franske medlemmer i min gruppe.
Giansily (UPE). — (FR) Mr President, I did not vote in favour of censure, unlike most of the French members of my group.
For mig ser det ud, som om dette mistillidsvotum havde til formål at afbryde den igangværende nægtelse af decharge, dengang fru Green fremsatte det.
It seems to me that this motion of censure aimed to interrupt the process of refusal of discharge when it was tabled by Mrs Green.
Hun legede med ilden, og det politiske kup, hun havde iscenesat, blev dygtigt fralistet hende af hr. Hervé Fabre-Aubrespy.
She played with fire and the political coup that she had plotted was skilfully stolen away from
Wolf (V). — (DE) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, jeg er ikke nogen dårlig taber, når jeg konstaterer, at her er scoret selvmål.
Wolf (V). — (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I hope I will not seem like a bad loser if I say that this was an own goal.
Alle de vanskeligheder og alt det skidt, der er kommet for dagen i forbindelse med dechargen for 1996, skulle fejes til side med en tillidsafstemning.
All the complications and mess that came to light over the 1996 discharge were supposed to be swept away by means of a vote of confidence, but there has not been a vote of confidence.
Denne tillidsafstemning har ikke fundet sted. Jeg mener også, at en vismandsgruppe er en dårlig løsning.
I too see a committee of wise men as a poor substitute.
Hvis Parlamentet ikke havde udtrykt sin mistillid med dette store stemmeantal, ville Kommissionen læne sig tilbage og sige: Nå ja, det var en storm i et glas vand.
If Parliament had not voted in such great numbers to express its lack of confidence, the Commission would have sat back and said it was just a storm in a teacup.
Derfor er jeg tilfreds med — og jeg overvejede det længe — at jeg har deltaget i initiativet, og at vi her har et virkeligt mistillidsvotum til afstemning.
That is why I am glad — and I thought long and hard about this — to have supported this initiative and that we have effectively had a vote of no-confidence.
Jeg vil endnu en gang understrege — og så kan hr. Berthu fortolke mig — at det, dette initiativ drejede sig om, var, at vi får en stærk Kommission og ægte parlamentarisme i Europa, og at vi på europæisk niveau ikke længere dækker over svagheder med teknokratiske og bureaukratiske handlemåder og med manglende gennemsigtighed.
I would like to stress once again — and Mr Berthu can confirm this — that the aim of this initiative was to ensure a strong Commission and a true parliamentary system for Europe, and to make sure that we stop resorting to technocratic and bureaucratic practices, combined with a lack of transparency, to hush up shortcomings in Europe.
For manglende gennemsigtighed er virkelig en kardinalsynd, selvom vi ikke af den grund må være storsindede over for nepotisme, dårlig embedsførelse og svindel.
Lack of transparency is the real cardinal sin, though this does not mean that we can afford to be complacent about nepotism, mismanagement and fraud.
Konrad (PPE). — (DE) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, hvordan er situationen? 232 kolleger har stemt for mistillidsvotummet, 27 har undladt at stemme. I princippet har 260 medlemmer af dette Parlament mistet tilliden til Kommissionen.
Konrad (PPE). — (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, where do we stand now? 232 Members have voted for the motion of censure, and 27 have abstained.
Det er det vigtigt at holde fast i nu. Det er budskabet.
We should not lose sight of that, that is the real message.
Jeg forstår slet ikke, at diskussionen i løbet af debatten på grund af nogle udtalelser fra hr. Santer har forskubbet sig til at handle om reform af de administrative strukturer, formindskelse af kabinetterne og organisationsreform.
I find it totally unacceptable that Mr Santer steered the debate towards talk of reform of administrative structures, smaller private offices, and organisational change.
Det drejer sig først og fremmest om to kommissærers personlige svigt, nemlig fru Cresson og hr. Marin.
What is really at stake here are the personal failings of two Commissioners: Mrs Cresson and Mr Marin.
Det drejer sig om nepotisme, og det drejer sig om at påtage sig ansvar.
We are talking here about nepotism and about accepting responsibility for one's actions.
Det var netop dette punkt, der fik mig og mange andre til ikke at udtale tillid til Kommissionen.
And that is precisely why I and many others have refused to express our confidence in the Commission.
Jeg spørger mig selv, hvad der nu skal ske?
What will happen next, I wonder?
Kommissionen må tage dette afstemningsresultat til efterretning.
The Commission cannot ignore this vote.
Jeg kan ikke tro, at man nu fortsætter, som om intet var hændt. Det glæder mig, at CDU/CSÜ-gruppen i Europa-Parlamentet samlet har stemt for dette mistillidsvotum.
Surely we will not carry on as if nothing has happened?
PSE-gruppen dækker over, hvad Kommissionen har præsteret her.
The Socialist Group wants to cover up the Commission's actions.
Det vil jeg hermed gerne endnu en gang understrege og kritisere.
I cannot emphasise that — and criticise it — too strongly.
En ting står imidlertid fast med dette afstemningsresultat, og det er, at institutionernes indbyrdes forhold er blevet et andet.
However, one thing has certainly come out of this vote — the relationship of the institutions towards each other has changed.
Hvis man holder fast i dette midt i al sørgmodigheden over, at der ikke kunne skabes et flertal for mistillidsvotummet, har CDU/CSU-medlemmerne i dette parlament truffet den rigtige beslutning.
We should not forget this, despite our disappointment that there was not a majority in favour of the motion of censure. It means that the CDU/CSU Members in this House made the right decision.
Breyer (V). — (DE) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, som medunderskriver af forslaget til mistillidsvotum har jeg natur ligvis også stemt for det, og jeg mener virkelig, at det store antal medlemmer, som har støttet mistillidsvotummet — ca. 40% — klart viser, at der ikke længere findes noget bredt flertal for Kommissionen.
Breyer (V). — (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, as a co-signatory of the motion of censure I of course voted for it and I believe that the large number of Members who supported the motion — about 40% — makes it clear that the Commission no longer has the support of a broad majority.
Kommissionen går stækket ud af denne debat, den er politisk død.
The Commission has been wounded by this debate, and politically speaking it is dead in the water.
Det store antal tilhængere af mistillidsvotummet vejer desto tungere, eftersom der jo de facto var tale om en stor koalition af flertalsgrupperne.
The fact that there was in effect a grand coalition between the majority groups makes the large number of Members who supported the motion of censure all the more significant.
Og hvis man tager i betragtning, at antallet af tilhængere af mistillidsvotummet næsten blev fordoblet i forbindelse med BSE-mistillidsvotummet, må man ligefrem tale om, at tilliden til Europa-Kommissionen er smuldret.
Considering that in comparison with the BSE motion of censure the number supporting the censure vote has almost doubled, there is every reason to claim that confidence in the European Commission has eroded.
Det var et møjsommeligt skridt i Europa-Parlamentet, men et stykke af vejen sprang vi op som en tiger og landede så desværre som sengeforligger, for beklageligvis har Europa-Parlamentet faktisk afgivet sine kontrolrettigheder til en såkaldt ekspertkommission og dermed umyndiggjort sig selv.
It seems that the European Parliament has taken two steps forward and one step back: having launched itself into the air like a roaring tiger, it has come down to earth again with a sad bump. It is regrettable that the European Parliament has relinquished its right of control to a 'committee of experts', thus depriving itself of its own rights.
Jeg håber ikke, at dette fører til, at Europa-Parlamentet mister troværdighed, og jeg beklager især de store flertalsgruppers taktiske spil.
I hope that will not mean that the European Parliament loses credibility, and I particularly regret the tactical manoeuvring of the majority groups.
Der var ganske vist bred støtte til mistillidsvotummet, men her drejer det sig ikke om nærmere undersøgelser af, hvad der skal ske med vismandsgruppen, i dag skulle der derimod have været draget politiske konsekvenser.
Although there was wide support for the motion of censure, this is not the place for detailed discussion of the role of the committee of wise men — today should have been a day of political reckoning.
Derfor er jeg som under skriver tilfreds med resultatet af mistillidsvotummet, for det var en tydelig huskekage til Kommissionen.
So as a co-signatory I am satisfied with the outcorfle of the motion of censure, which I think has given the Commission a great deal of food for thought.
Denne virkelig gruopvækkende procedure med hensigter, hvis konturer ikke er tydelige, synes at skjule ikke helt anstændige manøvrer og helt sikkert også formål, som man ikke vil bekende.
This genuinely Dantesque process consisting of somewhat shadowy intentions is, in my opinion, hiding rather undignified manoeuvres and simply intolerable objectives.
Blot (NI). — (FR) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, som medlemmer af Front National stemmer vi for mistillidsvotummet mod Europa-Kommissionen på grund af de uregelmæssigheder i forvaltningen, som Parlamentet har beskyldt den for, og som den har ladet hånt om.
Blot (NI) — (FR) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, as the National Front, we are voting for censure of the European Commission, due to the irregularities in management of which it has been accused by Parliament and which it has disregarded.
Jeg vil alligevel tilføje, at jeg i virkeligheden havde skrevet under på dette forslag, i lighed med hr. Mégret og hr. Le Gallou, efter direkte opfordring fra hr. Fabre-Aubrespy, og at denne så sidenhen har ment det bedst at slette vores underskrifter uden at rådføre sig med os herom, hvilket jeg beklager offentligt.
I will nevertheless add that I did in fact sign the motion of censure, along with Mr Mégret and Mr Le Gallou, at the express request of Mr Fabre-Aubrespy, who then decided to withdraw our signatures without consulting us, an action which I publicly deplore.
I øvrigt konstaterer jeg, at de kristlige demokraterne i PPE-gruppen og deres allierede, sammen med socialdemokraterne, udgør en veritabel blok, som understøtter Kommissionen mod hvad som helst.
Moreover, I would like to note that the Christian Democrats of the PPE and their allies, along with the Socialists, make up a real block that supports the Commission in and against everything.
Denne chokerende alliance mellem dem, der hævder at stå til højre, og dem, der siger, at de står til venstre, giver, det er en kendt sag, Kommissionen et principielt flertal. Efter min mening er det en fallit for demokratiet.
We are well aware that this outrageous alliance between those who claim to be right-wing and those who say they are left-wing gives the Commission a theoretical majority.
Europa viser sig i virkeligheden sådan som det er: en teknokratisk og oligarkisk organisation.
Europe is revealing itself as what it is: a technocratic and oligarchical organisation.
I dette Europa fordømmes borgernes, det vil sige skatteydernes, interesser i en vis forstand. Ved reelt ikke at fordømme Kommissionen mener jeg, at et flertal i Parlamentet har valgt definitivt at fordømme folkenes interesser, i særdeleshed det franske folks interesser.
In such a Europe, the interests of citizens, and thus of taxpayers, are censured to some degree.
Det beklager jeg selvfølgelig.
Obviously, I deplore this.
Eftersom Parlamentet har besluttet at sende hele sagen i udvalg, synes det forhastet at fremsætte dette mistillidsvotum.
With this House having decided to refer the whole matter back to the committee responsible, I feel that the tabling of this motion of censure is premature.
På den anden side har Kommissionen i samarbejde med Parlamentet fremlagt en nøje tidsplan for bekæmpelse af svindelen.
Furthermore, the Commission has put forward a programme with an appropriate timetable to tackle the problem of fraud in cooperation with our own Parliament.
Det skal dertil tilføjes, at jeg, når jeg ikke mener, at nogle kommissærer bør anklages individuelt uden en grundig undersøgelse af deres skyld, ikke med god samvittighed ville kunne stemme for beslutningsforslag, der går i den retning. '
Added to this, as I do not agree with accusing individual Commissioners without an in-depth investigation into their guilt, I could not in all conscience vote for the motions of censure that have this intention.
Endelig befinder Europa sig i en særdeles vigtig fase.
Finally, Europe is at an extremely important stage.
Efter euroens indførelse har vi udfordringen fra Agenda 2000, reformen af den fælles landbrugspolitik, udvidelsen og strukturfondene, som er af enorm betydning for samhørighedslandene. hedslandene.
Following the introduction of the euro, we are now facing the challenge of Agenda 2000, the reform of the CAP, enlargement and the Structural Funds, all of which are of enormous importance, particularly for the cohesion countries.
For ikke at sætte ro og stabilitet på spil og for at undgå en institutionel krise har jeg stemt imod mistillidsvotummet.
In order to ensure calm and stability and to avoid an institutional crisis, I have voted against the motion of censure.
Det er derfor, de hilste den otte-punkts plan velkommen, som formand Santer i mandags forelagde for Parlamentet.
It is for this reason that we welcomed the eight-part plan presented to Parliament by President Santer on Monday.
De skridt til finansiel og administrativ sanering, som varsles i det socialdemokratiske beslutningsforslag, ligger i direkte forlængelse af kommissionsformandens plan.
The measures for financial and administrative reorganisation advocated in the Socialist resolution are along the same lines as the plan· put forward by the President of the Commission.
Det er derfor, de klart og tydeligt har afvist at stemme for mistillidsvotummet mod Kommissionen.
This is why we clearly and plainly rejected censure of the Commission in order to affirm its mandate.
Hvis man vil have, at Kommissionen skal forbedre sin forvaltning, må man give den tiden til det.
If we want the Commission to improve its management, we need to give it the time to do so.
I modsætning til visse andre, som har misbrugt afstemningen om decharge til at svække Kommissionen, har social demokraterne altid insisteret på nødvendigheden af en Kommission, der kan forblive stærk og handlekraftig, lige til dens mandat udløber.
Unlike some, who took advantage of the vote on discharge in order to weaken the Commission, the Socialists have always insisted on the need for a Commission that remains strong and operational right to the end of its mandate.
Formand Santer havde selv bedt om at få det, dagen før afstemningen om decharge i december for at få klarlagt relationerne mellem Parlamentet og Kommissionen.
President Santer had himself requested it, the day before the vote on discharge, in December, in order to clarify relations between Parliament and the Commission.
Uden dette politiske initiativ fra socialdemokraternes side ville de tiltag, Jacques Santer varslede, aldrig have set dagens lys.
Without this political initiative on the part of the Socialists, the measures announced by Jacques Santer would never have seen the light of day.
Desuden har debatterne om dette mistillidsvotum medført, at der i selve Parlamentet har udkrystalliseret sig en koalition, der er fjendtligt stemt over for en stærk Kommission.
Moreover, the debates on this motion have led to the formation of a coalition in the European Parliament that is hostile to the Commission.
Denne brogede koalition rækker fra CDU og det bayerske CSU (hvis næstformand skrev under på det Maastricht fjendtlige højres mistillidsforslag) til Gruppen De Grønne og via de liberale helt ud til det yderste højre.
This incongruous coalition goes from the CDU and the Bavarian CSU (whose vicepresident signed the motion of censure from the anti-Maastricht right), through the Liberals, to the Greens and the extreme right-wing.
Den vil for enhver pris her seks måneder før valget høste udbytte af en heksejagt uden fortilfælde, som med de mest fjollede rygter rammer formand Santer selv.
Six months away from the elections, it wants to benefit at all costs from an unparalleled witch hunt that, through the most absurd rumours, is even affecting President Santer himself.
Denne uansvarlige koalition har skadet ikke blot Kommissionens prestige, men selve Den Europæiske Union med sin helt usædvanlige forfølgelse af Kommissionen, hvis politiske regnskab nu, hvor euroen er blevet introduceret, er klart positivt.
This irresponsible coalition has damaged not only the prestige of the Commission, but also the European Union itself, as a result of its extraordinarily relentless attack on a Commission whose political record, at the time of the introduction of the euro, is largely positive.
Alavanos (GUE/NGL), skriftlig. — (EL) Et mistillidsvotum til Kommissionen er en politisk stemme mod uigennemsigtighed, dårlig forvaltning, bureaukrati, demokratisk underskud, arrogance over for EU-borgerne og mod de netværk af virksomheder og rådgivere, der snylter på fællesskabsbudgettet, hvis kilde er den europæiske borgers skattepenge.
Alavanos (GUE/NGL), in writing. — (EL) The vote of censure against the Commission is a political vote against lack of transparency, maladministration, bureaucracy, the democratic deficit, arrogance towards the European Union's citizens, and the networks of companies and consultants that feed like parasites on the Community budget
Féret sager om uregelmæssigheder, bedrageri og forvaltningsfejl, som er kommet for dagen, i forbindelse med forskellige fællesskabspolitikker, som Kommissionen forvalter, ville være utænkeligt.
Féret (NI), in writing. — (FR) I voted for censure of the European Commission because, firstly, I feel that not doing so would mean granting them our confidence, which would be inconceivable, having seen the overwhelming number of cases of irregularities, fraud and malpractice that have been brought to light in various Community policies managed by the Commission.
Jeg afviser den fælde, som den socialdemokratiske tekst rummer, og som har til hensigt intet mindre end at hvidvaske Kommissionen for dens alvorlige forsømmelser og sikre, at den udøvende magt forbliver, hvor den er, og jeg mener, at man uden tøven skal holde Kommissionen fast på dens politiske ansvar, som den hidtil altid har været i stand til behændigt at unddrage sig.
I reject the trap of the Socialist text, which aims to do nothing less than exonerate the Commission of its serious errors and ensure that the executive remains in place, and I think that we should not hesitate to make the Commission face up to its political responsibilities, which it has so far cunningly shirked.
At stemme for mistillidsvotummet at forsvare den parlamentariske institutions anseelse, som er blevet behandlet med foragt af den Kommission, der hellere give oplysninger til pressen end til Europa-Parlamentets udvalg.
To vote for censure is to defend the credibility of the institution of Parliament, which has been treated with contempt by the Commission, the latter being more willing to give information to the press than to the committees of the European Parliament.
At stemme for mistillidsvotummet er ikke mindst at forsvare de europæiske borgeres og vælgeres interesser, dem, hvis penge bliver tilvendt og bortødet af en tavs og hemmelig teknokratisk institution, som indtil nu ikke har været i stand til at gøre sin pligt.
To vote for censure is, above all, to defend the interests of the citizens and the electorate of Europe, whose money has been misappropriated and squandered by a silent and secretive technocratic institution that has so far been incapable of doing its duty.
Der står vigtige ting på spil.
There is a great deal at stake.
Det er set med mine øjne en faktor, der på afgørende måde kaster lys over debatten.
In my opinion, this is a decisive challenge that clarifies the debate.
