Den fælles ramme skal be vares og styrkes. Alle de eksistrende traktater bør samles i én tekst.
Reforms introduced by Maastricht had led to a com­plicated machinery for deci­sion­making and alienation from the grass roots.
Når EU skal vedtage retsakter, bør der kun være tre beslutningsprocedurer: fælles beslutningstagning, samstemmende udtalelse og høring. Proceduren ved samstemmende udtalelser (Parlamentets godkendelse obligatorisk) bør begrænses til traktatændringer, internationale aftaler, udvidelse af EU og til tilpasning af de egne indtægter.
Brendan Donnelly (Sussex South and Crawley, EPP), on the other hand, did not think it was realistic to expect member states to agree to dismantle the delicately worked agreement of Maas­tricht by accepting more majority voting and aban­doning the pillar structure.
Maastricht-traktaten er opbygget i tre søjler, hvor den første søjle om fatter det almindelige praktiske og økonomiske EU-samarbejde.
The defence competencies of the Western European Union should also be an EU responsibility, a majority of MEPs believe.
Den anden søjle er udenrigs- og sikker hedspolitikken, mens samarbejdet om retlige og indre anliggender er den tredje søjle.
The resolu­tion does, however, advo­cate the retention of una­nimity or the national veto for constitutional issues and revenue raising and for mat­ters not formally coming under EU competence.
Det mellemstatslige samarbejde om anden og tredje søjle har ikke altid fungere tilfredsstillende, mener Parlamentet.
main political groups, the Party of European Socialists and the European People's Party (Christian Democrats) together with European Liberals and a sprinkling of MEPs from smaller groups such as the European Radical Alliance, two Greens, one Greek member of the left­leaning European United Left/Nordic Green Group and one Italian Forza Europa member.
Man foreslår derfor, at søjlerne rives ned, og det hele overføres til det almindelige fællesskabssystem.
British Conservatives either abstained or voted against, while British Labour members, too, abstained or voted in favour with just one British Labour member against.
Europa-Kommissionen skal og så fremover være uafhængig, og systemet med mindst én kommissær per medlemsstat bør bevares, foreslår Parlamentet.
Parliament's aim now, he said, was to enable the Union to respond effectively to key challenges such as tackling unemployment and foreign affairs and regain the support of the grass roots by reducing the gap that had arisen between the European institutions and the people.
I forbindelse med Ministerrådets arbejde bør princippet om åbenhed udtrykkelig nævnes i traktaten.

Den 9. maj er EU's fødselsdag.
Ireland's European vocation portrayed
Det var den dag i 1950, da den franske udenrigsminister Robert Schuman holdt sin berømte tale, som førte til grundlæggelsen af Det Europæiske Fællesskab.
THE WEEK IN STRASBOURG area of free movement are set at nought if large sections of the population are alienated from their benefits through the effects of poverty and unemployment".
Den 18. april 1951 blev traktaten om Det Europæiske Kul- og Stålfællesskab underskrevet.
The White Paper on growth, competi­tion and employment was a welcome step in the right direction to create jobs.
Rom-traktaten trådte i kraft den 1. januar 1958, og den 1. juli 1987 trådte fællesakten i kraft. Maastricht-traktaten, som skal revideres til næste år, trådte i kraft den 1. november 1993.
FOLLOWING a warm welcome from Parliament's President Klaus Hänsch, who paid tribute to her long­standing commitment to taking up the causes of human rights, the Third World and the role of women in society, Ireland's President Mary Robinson opened her solemn address to the House by speaking in Irish.
Inden selve Regeringskonferencen går i gang i 1996, vil der være lavet et stort forberedende arbejde.
MEPs this week sent a firm message to EU government leaders who will meet at the IGC to review Maastricht that they are looking for a change in procedures to provide for a more efficient European Union.
De forskellige EU-institutioner har udarbejdet rapporter om erfaringerne med Maastricht-traktaten, og en særlig reflektionsgruppe vil forberede Regeringskonferencen.
They want more decisions taken by a majority vote with stronger democratic controls through both the European Parliament and national Parliaments.
Gruppen består af re præsentanter fra medlemsstaternes regeringer, formanden for Kommissionen og to repræsentanter fra Europa-Parlamentet.
At the same time, the opening of a new understanding with Russia should be based on respect for human rights and the principles of the UN.

The Irish gov­ernment would continue to urge that a determined effort be made to end the hostilities in Chechnya, she said.
Reflektionsgruppen skal også komme med forslag til, hvordan EU kan fungere efter en udvidelse med nye medlemslande.
Ireland's European vocation dated back several centuries, she continued, referring to the contribution of Irish mis­sionaries to the process of European development.
I den forbindelse skal der drøftes medlemslandenes stemmevægte og kvalificeret flertal i Rådet, antal medlemmer af Kommissionen samt andet, som kan lette EU-institutionernes arbejde og sikre, at de kan fungere effektivt efter en udvidelse.
This provided the histori­cal background to the genuine friendship of the Irish people with fellow Euro­peans today.
ger og den stemning, som et flertal i Parlamentet står for, sagde Jean-Louis Bourlanges. - Det alt for komplicerede beslutningssystem gør det vanskeligt for borgerne at forså, hvad der foregår i Unionen, sagde David Martin.
Looking ahead to the future of the Union and next year's IGC, she empha­sised the importance of providing effec­tive institutional arrangements to enable the Union of today to function effec­tively as well as the need for a blueprint to accommodate over 20 member states.
Der var bred opbakning til betænkningen om »Unionstraktatens funktion med henblik på Regeringskonferencen i 1996 - gennemførelsen og udviklingen af Unionen«.
Irish commitment to the European Community and further European inte­gration had been clearly shown in the referendums of 1987 and 1992 while today there was a mood of optimism and hope in Ireland with the achievement of peace on the island.
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog be tænkningen med 288 stemmer mod 103, mens 76 stemte hverken for eller imod.
She expressed her thanks for the support of the EU and especially a European Parliament with representatives of both parts of the island in encouraging reconciliation.
Af de danske med lemmer stemte Venstre og Konser vative for.
Trans-European energy and transport links also got the go-ahead.
Medlemmerne fra Juni Bevægelsen, Folkebevægelsen mod EF-Unionen, Det Radikale Venstre og SF stemte imod. De danske socialdemokrater valgte at stemme hverken for eller imod.
sented a determination by the member states to respond to international con­flicts but as events in the former Yugoslavia had shown, there was now a more urgent need than ever before for the EU to seek a durable political settle­ment in the region.
- Vi står nu med en betænkning, hvor forenklingen dækker over mere magt til EU, og hvor teksten reelt drejer i retning af en forfatning, sagde Jens-Peter Bonde på vegne af Gruppen Nationernes Europa. - Vi skal koncentrere os om at gøre de ting, vi har sat os for, bedre i stedet for at finde nye samarbejdsområder, sagde socialdemokraten Kirsten Jensen.
The need for effective and inspired leadership within the Union was another of her themes and in this context she emphasised the need for EU decision­making to be taken as close as possible to the citizen.
EU skal gøre mere for at blive et folkeligt accepteret projekt, og arbejdsløsheden og miljøet må øverst på dagsordenen, foreslog hun.
As she put it "over­elaborate and arcane decision­taking procedures tend, as we know, to alienate these same citizens".
Til afstemningen om betænknin gen var der indgivet over 200 ændringsforslag, men langt de fleste blev afvist.
Perhaps foreign ministers meeting next month in Messina to prepare the way could be inspired by their forbears, who met in the same place forty years ago.
Franskmanden Jean-Louis Bour-langes fra Det Europæiske Folkepartis Gruppe og David Martin (UK) fra De Europæiske Socialdemokraters Gruppe er de to ordførere for betænkningen.
Recent commemoration of the fifti­eth anniversary of the end of the Second World War, in which she represented Ireland at special ceremonies in Paris, was a timely reminder that the Union of today was built on reconciliation and peace.
- Personligt havde jeg gerne set mere vidtgående forslag, men be tænkningen afspejler de holdnin
As the week came to a close, Chancellor Kohl and France's new President Jacques Chirac also came to Strasbourg to reaffirm their support for European unity.
Frode Kristoffersen (konservativ) opfordrede til at respektere diskussionen og den modningsproces, som foregår bl.a. i Danmark. Han fandt det vigtigt, at politikerne kom mer ud af »institutionsghettoerne« og får talt med befolkningen.
Turning to the achievements of the EU, she singled out efforts taken to reduce economic disparities through the structural funds to balance the single market and the important political devel­opments of the Maastricht treaty, enabling the Union to promote the shared values of respect for the rule of law. democratic institutions, human rights and fundamental freedoms.
I Maastricht-traktaten er der allerede fastlagt en række områder, som skal tages op til eftersyn med henblik på en eventuel revision.
The developing world was another of the President's concerns and while she welcomed the assistance provided to the ACP countries through the Lomé Convention, to applause from the House, she said she found it unacceptable that economic reform in Africa had led to cutbacks in such areas as the provision of basic health care and education.
Det drejer sig om følgende områder: - Civilbeskyttelse, energi og turis me. - Udvidelse af anvendelsesområ det for fælles beslutningstagning. - Den fælles udenrigs- og sikker hedspolitik. - Klassificeringen af de forskellige EU-retsakter.

EU-institutionerne blev endvidere sidst i oktober 1993 enige om, at traktatens bestemmelser om og procedurer for budgettet bør tages op til fornyet overvejelse i 1996.
The greatest challenge facing the Union today was the need to provide a meaningful response to the twin threats of unemployment and social exclusion, she said, warning that "the advantages which have been bestowed on the citi­zens of Europe by achievements in the

Hun understregede, at EU har en moralsk forpligtelse til at fastholde og styrke sit engagement i Afrika.

Neither do MEPs like the socalled 'three' pillars approach to Union affairs with Justice, Home Affairs, asylum and foreign policy making largely confined to the various national ministries trying to work together without a central service.
Skulle de alligevel foretrække at blive i Europa, må de forstå, at respekten for Parlamentet er en institutionel pligt, som især for mandskabet for Rådet ikke kan unddrage sig«.
While a majority in the House would like to see this process swept away, there is grudging acceptance of the fact that this is unlikely to happen in 1996.
Viviane Reding luxembourgsk krist-demokrat sind, sagde den irske præsident.
Parliament's proposals in detail are as follows:-
Mary Robinson så udfordringerne som ikke blot at komme med et svar på de institutionelle udfordringer men også at komme med le detråde for en Union, som kan be stå af over 20 medlemslande.
THE Commission's plan to forge closer economic links with Latin America and take advantage of opportunities under the new World Trade Agreement prompted MEPs representing farming regions to express concern about the prospect of an increase in agricultural imports entering the Union in direct competition with home production.
Mary Robinson kom også ind på de fremtidige udfordringer for EU specielt i forhold til de central- og østeuropæiske lande.
The Commissioner emphasised that liberalisation would be "slow" and "progressive" and that the present agreement under discussion could be considered as an inter-regional form of co-operation which would pave the way to the negotiation of a free trade deal at a later date.
Hun rettede en appel om at lytte og forstå, når lederne fra disse lande siger, at det haster.
MEPs are calling for an end to the UK's opt-out from the Social Chapter and, indeed, would like to see a reinforced Social Policy.
Landene skal kunne klare betydelige fald i levestandarden samtidig med, at demokratiet bevares.
There is also opposition to the idea of a "two-speed Europe" with some member states moving ahead of the others.
Derfor er en velstruktureret vej for at forbedre sig til kravene for tiltrædelse en politisk såvel som en økonomisk livline, som vi ikke bør undervurdere, advarede Mary Robinson.
However, at the same time there is recognition that not all member states will be equipped for such developments as a single currency at the same time.
Regeringskonferencen, som vil fortsætte under det irske formand skab, (andet halvår 1996), skal møde den udfordring, det er at vise vejen for EU ind i det næste årtu
MEPs are also sending a warning to any state intent on blocking progress at the IGC by suggesting that in the event of failure to reach a unanimous agreement there should be a formal instrument entered into the treaty enabling a member state to leave, allowing others to go ahead.

The new alliance would have 55 members, thus overtaking the Liberals as the third largest group in the Parliament after the European People's Party with 173 members and the Party of European Socialists with 221. The link-up had prompted speculation that it would lead to a 100 strong grand coalition encompassing Sir James Goldsmith's 'Europe of the Nations' group, out to defend national sovereignty, and dissident Tories but this now seems unlikely.

MEASURES proposed by the Commission to combat the spread of Aids and other infectious diseases have received a broad welcome from Parliament at first reading, though MEPs would like member states to do more to stop discrimination in areas such as employment, housing and health care.

Europa-Parlamentet fik en ny aftale om fiskerikontrol i nettet, da det godkendte forlængelsen af en observatørordning under Organisationen for Fiskeriet i det Nordvestlige Atlanterhav (NAFO).
MEPs also want to revise the rules for implementing legislation, an area neglected by the Maastricht treaty.
Den britiske ordfører for Parlamentets Fiskeriudvalg Robin Teverson (Det Europæiske Liberale og Demokratiske Partis Gruppe) indrømmede imidlertid, at observatørordningen havde vist sig at være ret ineffektiv.
The intention is to bring decision making more into line with the democratic process introduced elsewhere by conferring more authority on the Commission rather than national officials on the understanding that both Parliament and ministers have the ultimate sanction to revoke a Commission decision considered unacceptable.
Han håbede derfor, at den bilaterale aftale om fiskeri efter hellefisk i NAFO-zo-nen, som EU og Canada indgik i slutningen af april, bliver godkendt af NAFO.
