In this declaration the three insti­tutions bound themselves to respect the fundamental rights set out in the convention and in member state constitutions.

It has also set up a separate chapter in the EU bud­get, "The European Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights", which has provided rehabilitation and support for victims of human rights abuses such as street children, women subjected to violence, torture victims and indigenous peoples.

Hertil kom mer en fungerende markedsøkonomi, evne til at klare konkurrencepresset og markedskræfterne i EU samt vilje til at tilslutte sig må let med hensyn til en politisk, økonomisk og monetær union.

Der er også sket gode fremskridt i Rumænien på det politiske område; men landet opfylder langt fra de økonomiske kriterier.
Mr Roubatis believed that it was time to move "from a mani­festo of good intentions to a policy which implements these high objectives".
Parlamentet er derfor enig med Kom missionen i, at det vil være for tidligt at indlede tiltrædelsesforhandlinger med Rumænien i 1999.
He wanted the EU's approach to be based on partnership and dialogue rather than on "sermons and sanc­tions", with ever closer co­oper­ation between member states and EU institutions.

Han fandt det der for berettiget klart at signalere til Litauen, at EU fuldt ud anerkender de betydelige fremskridt i den økonomiske reformudvikling, den demokratiske kvalitet og landvindingerne også på det administrative område.

He was followed by Jose Barros Moura (Ρ, PES), who echoed many of the themes and welcomed, in particular, the new international order which he considered was coming into place with the Pinochet case.
Den er utvivl­somt en anerkendelse af mig per­sonligt, men også af Kosovos folk, vores kamp og ofre, sagde han.
"Democratic principles and respect for human rights should know no borders," he declared.
EU og USA var de første til at støtte os, og mange medlem­mer af Europa­Parlamentet har besøgt Kosovo og dermed givet os styrke til at holde ud, sagde Rugova.
He supported the idea of a per­manent international criminal court and welcomed Parliament's vole of EUR 3 mil­lion into the EU budget for this purpose.
Gennem de sidste ti år er det lykkes os at opbygge et samfund i Kosovo ved at skabe en demokratisk orden og ved at opretholde uddannelsessystemer, økonomi, landbrug, sundheds­sektor og solidaritet, påpegede Rugova.
Drawing a distinction between paying lip service to declarations and conventions on human rights and taking real action, Mr Barros Moura called for proper implementation of commitments and monitoring arrangements to ensure that these commitments were hon­oured.

Vi håber at der med hjælp fra OSCE og NATO kan blive ro og plads til en politisk løsning, sagde han.
Named after Andrei Sakharov, the late Russian physicist and democrat, the prize is awarded to an individual or group making a significant contribution to promot­ing human rights and fundamental free­doms.
Løsningen er, understregede Rugova, at Koso­ vo i en overgangsperiode bliver et internationalt protektorat.
It is traditional to present it at the full sitting of Parliament falling closest to 10 December, when the United Nations Declaration of Rights was signed.
Målet på længere sigt er uafhængighed.
