Jeg vil især udtrykke min dybe skuffelse over ændringsforslag 27 fra fru Green og hr. Cot, som fjernede artikel 1 fra Rothley-betænkningen og ipsofacto fjernede muligheden for det liberale ændringsforslag fra den.
I express in particular my grave disappointment at Amendment No 27 in the name of Mrs Green and Mr Cot, who removed Article 1 from the Rothley report and ipsofacto removed from it the possibility of the Liberal amendment.
Dette ændringsforslag søgte virkelig at imødegå mange af de bange anelser, som medlemmer har nævnt som mangler i Rådets respons.
That amendment genuinely sought to address many of the fears that Members had expressed as deficiencies in the Council's response.
F.eks. bragte det medlemmerne af Europa-Parlamentet på lige fod med nationale parlamentsrepræsentanter i spørgsmålet om forskellige dagpenge og udgifter.
For example, it put MEPs on an equal footing with national parliamentary representatives in the matter of various allowances and expenses.
Det omfattede bestemmelser om erhvervede rettigheder, den såkaldte »bedstefarsklausul«.
It included clauses on the acquired rights, the so-called 'grandfather clause'.
Det indeholdt muligheder for at gå tidligt på pension, som mange medlemmer sagde, at de ønskede.
It included options for early retirement, which many Members said they wanted.
Det omfattede den fulde beskyttelse af de erhvervede pensionsrettigheder, medlemmernes eksisterende pensionsrettigheder og også andre elementer.
It included the full protection of the acquired pension rights, the existing pension rights of Members, and other elements as well.
1 alt dette lå der et virkeligt forsøg på at anerkende, at Rothley-betænkningen fra december sidste år helt klart ikke ville opnå enstemmig godkendelse i Rådet, og at Rådets tekst fra sidste uge helt klart ikke ville opnå støtte her i Parlamentet. Og den mellemvej, som vi søgte at indføre — og som demokrater må vi acceptere gevinst eller tab — blev totalt forkastet af en procedure, som jeg væmmes ved.
In all of that it was a genuine attempt to recognise that the Rothley report simpiiriter of last December clearly will not win unanimous approval of the Council; that the Council's text of last week clearly will not win the support of this House.
Green (PSE). — (EN) Fru formand, som hr. Cox nævnte blev det ændringsforslag, der er fremsat i mit navn for Den Socialdemokratiske Gruppe, fremsat af Den Socialdemokratiske Gruppe.
Green (PSE). — Madam President, clearly, as Mr Cox has mentioned, the amendment tabled in my name on behalf of the Socialist Group was tabled by the Socialist Group.
Som gruppeformand var det mit navn, der stod på det, men jeg vil gerne oplyse, at jeg stemte imod det.
As the leader, I had my name on it, but for the record, I voted against it.
Cox (ELDR). — (EN) Fru formand, det var jeg ikke klar over.
Cox (ELDR). — Madam President, I was not aware of that.
Jeg takker fru Green for den forklaring.
I thank Mrs Green for that explanation.
Personligt havde jeg forstået, at det var hendes holdning.
Personally, I had understood that was her position.
Jeg takker hende for at have klarlagt dette.
I thank her for clarifying it.
Jeg væmmes stadig over proceduren, men jeg vil i det mindste gerne have, at min påskønnelse af det, fru Green lige har sagt, bliver ført til protokols.
I still remain disgusted by the procedure but I would wish, at least, to place on the record my appreciation of what Mrs Green has just said.
Green (PSE). — (EN) Fru formand, jeg vil også gerne have min væmmelse over det, der er sket, ført til protokols.
Green (PSE). — Madam President, I should like to put on record my disgust as well at what has happened.
Berthu (I-EDN). — (FR) Fru formand, Gruppen af Uafhængige for Nationernes Europa var ikke enig i udkastet til statut for Europa-Parlamentets medlemmer, som Parlamentet vedtog den 3. december 1998.
Berthu (I-EDN). — (FR) Madam President, the Group of Independents for a Europe of Nations did not agree with the draft uniform Statute for Members of the European Parliament adopted by our House on 3 December 1998.
Vi mente dengang — og vi mener stadig — at medlemmerne af Europa-Parlamentet repræsenterer deres respektive befolkninger, og at deres statut derfor bør forblive et nationalt spørgsmål.
We believed at the time, and we still believe, that the Members of the European Parliament represent their respective nations and that they should continue to have the status of national representatives.
Rådet har siden den 3. december undersøgt Europa-Parlamentets udkast og har desværre godkendt dets væsentligste principper.
Since 3 December, the Council has examined Parliament's draft and has unfortunately approved its key principles.
Ifølge udkastet skal Europa-Parlamentets medlemmer for fremtiden aflønnes via fællesskabsbudgettet og ikke af deres respektive hjemlande.
In its view, the Members of the European Parliament should from now on be paid out of the Community budget and not by their countries of origin.
Endvidere skal de underlægges en indkomstskat, der inddrives til fordel for Fællesskabet under de samme forhold som dem, der gælder de europæiske tjenestemænd.
Moreover, they should pay income tax to the Communities, under the same conditions as those that apply to European officials.
Muligheden for at opret holde den nationale beskatning er kun en midlertidig undtagelsesbestemmelse for de lande, der udtrykkeligt anmoder derom.
Only a temporary derogation is provided for to maintain the national system of taxation for those countries which request it explicitly.
Dette udkast med ændringsforslag synes ligeledes uacceptabelt.
This amended draft is equally unacceptable.
Det er yderst usandsynligt, at Europa-Parlamentets medlemmer kan aflønnes af andre end de befolkninger, de repræsenterer.
It is totally incredible that the Members of the European Parliament might be paid by someone other than the people they represent.
Det er ligeledes usandsynligt, at de kan underkastes en beskatning, der er forskellig fra den, deres medborgere er underlagt, især hvis denne beskatning oven i købet er mildere, som det ville være tilfældet her.
It is equally incredible that they might be subject to a tax system that is different from that of their fellow citizens, particularly if this is also a less severe tax system, as would be the case here.
Denne reform har klart til hensigt at svække parlaments medlemmernes forsvar af deres befolkninger og i stedet styrke deres forsvar af det overnationale system, der forsørger dem.
This reform is obviously designed to draw Members away from defending their people in order to encourage them to defend the supranational system that will support them.
Det er ganske vanskeligt at forstå Rådets underliggende motiver for at acceptere en tekst, der i så høj grad er i modstrid med medlemsstaternes interesser, medmindre Rådet også implicit bifalder indførelsen af en europæisk overstat.
It is somewhat difficult to understand the deep-rooted motives of thé Council when it accepts a text that is so opposed to the interests of the Member States, unless it, too, agrees tacitly to the establishment of a European superstate.
Denne fortolkning er efter min mening desværre den rigtige, eftersom den bekræftes af adskillige andre indicier.
This interpretation unfortunately seems to be correct, as it is backed up by many other indications.
Endnu en gang ser man, at regeringerne spiller dobbeltspil og ad omveje indfører et system, som borgerne ikke ville acceptere, hvis de var bekendt med alle forhold.
Once again, we see that the governments are playing a double game and establishing — by indirect methods — a system that the people would not accept if they were consulted in full knowledge of the facts.
Breyer (V). — (DE) Fru formand, jeg har en personlig bemærkning.
Breyer (V). — (DE) Madam President, I wish to make a personal statement.
Jeg stemte imod hr. Rothleys forslag, fordi jeg beklager, at vi ikke vedtog rådsdokumentet. Dermed forpassede vi den store chance for ved valgperiodens udløb omsider at få en statut.
I voted against Mr Rothley's proposal because I am sorry we did not accept the Council document, which meant that we missed a major opportunity finally to obtain a statute at the end of this legislative term.
De ved alle, hvor vanskeligt det er at fremskynde en statut i den nye periode.
You all know how difficult it will be to make progress on a statute during the new term.
Det er ligefrem umuligt.
It will be wellnigh impossible.
Der findes hundreder af journalister, der laver det samme arbejde og får forskellig løn.
I fear that Parliament's action has merely relegated the Statute to a kind of shunting yard.
Jeg har imidlertid fået det indtryk, at det slet ikke var det, det drejede sig om, men at det drejede sig om at bringe medlemmernes
I thought it was right for us finally to get some movement into the Statute,
Breyer statut længere ind på rangerbanegården.
But I got the impression that was not the issue at all; rather it was to go on relegating the Statute for Members to the shunting yard.
Det beklager jeg dybt.
I very much regretted that.
Derfor stemte jeg imod hr. Rothleys forslag og ville gerne have stemt for Rådets forslag.
That is why I voted against Mr Rothley's proposal and would have liked to vote for the Council proposal.
McKenna (V). — (EN) Fru formand, som fru Breyer vil jeg gerne sige, at dette er en forpasset lejlighed.
McKenna (V). — Madam President, like Mrs Breyer, I would like to say this is a missed opportunity.
Selvom mange har udtrykt deres væmmelse, ved jeg ikke, hvordan vi skal kunne gå tilbage til vores vælgere og forsvare, at alting grundlæggende forbliver som før.
Although many people have expressed their disgust, I do not know how we are going to go back to the electorate and justify that basically things are remaining the same.
Ændringsforslaget fra De Liberale og De Grønne blev forsætligt saboteret af folk, som ikke ønsker at se systemet blive ændret.
The Liberal and Green amendment was deliberately sabotaged by people who do not want to see the system changed.
Selvom jeg ville have haft temmeligt svært ved at acceptere tanken om et EU-beskatningssystem — det er ikke noget, jeg vil kunne støtte — eller tanken om, at vores lønninger ville blive forøget, bør vi gøre noget ved den måde, hvorpå udgiftsgodtgørelserne bliver disket ud her i Parlamentet.
Although I would have had major problems with the idea of an EU tax system — it is not something I could support — ór that our salaries would be increased, we need to deal with the way in which expenses are dished out in this Parliament.
Hvad er der galt ved at have et system, hvor man skal gøre regnskab for sine udlæg?
What is wrong with having a system whereby you have to account for what you spend?
I juni skal vi ud og se efter stemmer fra vælgerne.
We now have to go out in June to look for votes from the electorate.
En ting, som alle fokuserer på, er, hvordan godtgørelsessystemet fungerer her i Parlamentet.
The one thing that everybody is focused on is how the repayment system works in this Parliament.
Vi må søge at få det ændret.
We have to look for change.
I dag var en førsteklasses lejlighed.
Today was a prime opportunity.
Vi forpassede den på grund af politiske manøvreringer inden for Parlamentet.
We missed that because of political manoeuvring within Parliament.
Det vil blive meget vanskeligt for os at begrunde vores holdning.
It is going to very difficult for us to justify our position.
Derfor stemte jeg imod Rothley-betænkningen.
That is why I voted against the Rothley report.
Jeg ville have haft det meget svært med en lønforhøjelse eller med tanken om et EU-dækkende beskatningssystem.
I would have had major problems with a salary increase or with the idea of an EU-wide tax system.
Det er et skråplan at komme ind på. Jeg er ikke enig i tanken om et harmoniseret beskatningssystem eller — som hr. Berthu sagde — i mange af de harmoniseringer, der foregår inden for EU.
That is the thin edge of the wedge.
Jeg stemte imod Prodi, og det gjorde jeg navnlig, fordi han er en inkarneret føderalist, der også er for en militarisering af EU, hvilket jeg ikke kan gå ind for.
I voted against Prodi basically because he is a complete federalist and also in favour of the militarising of the EU which I do not approve of.
Derfor måtte jeg stemme imod ham.
That is why I had to vote against him.
Donnelly, Brendan (PPE). — (EN) Fru formand, jeg afgiver normalt ikke stemmeforklaringer, men ved denne lejlighed vil jeg gøre det, da dette kan have været en af de sidste handlinger fra det nuværende Parlament, og jeg ønsker at undgå alle eventuelle misforståelser om noget, der måske er en flertydig afstemning.
Donnelly, Brendan (PPE). — Madam President, I do not normally give explanations of vote but on this occasion I shall, because this may have been one of the last actions in this present Parliament, and I want to avoid any possible misunderstanding about what is perhaps an ambiguous vote.
Jeg stemte imod Rothleybetænkningen, fordi jeg er af den opfattelse, at vi burde have accepteret den statut for medlemmerne, der blev foreslået af Rådet, med alle dens fejl.
I did vote against the Rothley report because I take the view that, with all its faults, we should have accepted the proposed Statute for Members that came from the Council.
Det er med nogen beklagelse, at jeg indtager denne holdning, for hr. Rothley er et meget ærværdigt medlem af Parlamentet, der har bidraget en stor del til dets arbejde.
I take that view with some regret because Mr Rothley is a very distinguished Member of this Parliament who has contributed a great deal to its work.
Generelt er jeg altid meget positivt stemt over for tanken om, at Parlamentet bør forsvare sine rettigheder og sin holdning over for andre institutioner.
In general I am always very sympathetic to the idea that Parliament should defend its rights and its position vis-à-vis other institutions.
Men ved denne lejlighed antog jeg især med henblik på det forestående valg den holdning, at det var bedre for os at få denne sag lagt bag os.
But on this occasion, particularly in view of the coming election, I took the view that it was better for us to get this matter behind us.
Jeg har altid ment, at Parlamentet strengt og ubarmhjertigt bør forsvare sine forfatnings- og lovgivningsmæssige rettigheder.
I have always taken the view that Parliament must rigorously and ruthlessly defend its constitutional and legal rights.
Men hvor der er tale om dets egne personlige rettigheder, dets medlemmers rettigheder — og navnlig dets medlemmers økonomiske rettigheder — er det tilrådeligt, at Parlamentet træder mere varsomt.
When, however, it is a question of its own personal rights, the rights of its Members — particularly the financial rights of its Members — Parliament would be well advised to tread more softly.
Der er en forskel mellem de to.
There is a difference between the two.
Hvis jeg blev spurgt om, hvad Parlamentet har brug for, tror jeg ikke, at jeg ville svare større formel magt. Jeg tror, at det er, at det bør komme tættere på vælgernes sindelag, hjerter og tankegang.
If I had to be asked what Parliament needs, I do not think it is more formal powers, I think it is to come closer to the minds, hearts and spirits of the electorate.
Jeg er bange for, at udsættelsen af statutten kan komme til at stå i vejen for dette.
I am afraid the postponement of the Statute may stand in the way of that.
Jeg ved, at De, fru formand, har en anden mening om dette.
I know that you, Madam President, have a different view.
Jeg er ked af, at jeg ved denne sidste lejlighed er nødt til at være uenig med Dem.
I am sorry, on this last occasion, to have to differ.
Jeg har altid haft stor — både politisk og personlig — respekt for Dem.
I have always had great respect, both political and personal, for you.
Men ulig mange, der stemte imod Rothleybetænkningen, gjorde jeg det, fordi jeg mener, at Europa-Parlamentet bør være mere magt fuldt, have mere indflydelse og spille en større rolle i Den Europæiske Union.
But unlike many who voted against the Rothley report I did so because I believe the European Parliament should be more powerful, more influential, should play a larger role in the European Union.
Det var min opfattelse, at jeg ved at stemme imod Rothley-betænkningen kunne tjene dette politiske mål.
It was my view that by voting against the Rothley report I could serve that political goal.
Fabre-Aubrespy (I-EDN). — (FR) Fru formand, for så vidt angår proceduren, vil jeg gerne sige til hr. Cox og fru Green, selvom de er gået, at jeg den 3. december fremlagde et ændringsforslag af samme type som de globale ændringsforslag, der har været genstand for lange forhandlinger, og at dette ændringsforslag dengang — måske fordi det kom fra mig — blev afvist.
Fabre-Aubrespy (I-EDN). — (FR) Madam President, as far as procedure is concerned, I would like to inform Mr Cox and Mrs Green — although they have left — that on 3 December, I had tabled an amendment similar to the global amendments, which have been the subject of long debate, and that that amendment had been declared inadmissible at the time, perhaps because I had tabled it.
Med hensyn til Rothley-betænkningen vil jeg gerne personligt sige, at maskerne er faldet.
On a personal note, regarding the Rothley report, I would like to say that the truth has been revealed.
Størstedelen af Parlamentets medlemmer — 376 — har vist, at de i realiteten ikke ønsker systemet om godtgørelse af rejseudgifter ændret, for det er dét, der er tale om.
The majority of Members of this House — 376 Members — have shown that in actual fact they did not want the system for reimbursing travel expenses to be changed. That is what is at issue here.
Da man den 3. december sagde, at Europa-Parlamentet med Amsterdam-traktaten for første gang i sin historie fik mulighed for selv at vedtage en fælles statut for medlemmerne, at denne statut burde træde i kraft, så snart Amsterdam-traktaten blev ratificeret, og der dermed var skabt et retsgrundlag for dens vedtagelse, gav man indtryk af, at man var klar til at vedtage en statut.
The resolution adopted on 3 December stated that thanks to the Treaty of Amsterdam, for the first time in its history the European Parliament was in a position to adopt itself a single statute for Members, and that this statute should enter into force as soon as the ratification of the Treaty of Amsterdam provided a legal basis for its adoption. This gave the impression that we were prepared to adopt a statute.
Men når man i dag afviser vores ændringsforslag 18, i hvilket det hedder, at vi vil sætte alle kræfter ind på, at denne statut skal træde i kraft ved indgangen til den kommende funktionsperiode, smider man samtidig maskerne. I samme uge vedtager man en ny godtgørelsesmetode for rejseudgifter efter foregivende baseret på de faktisk afholdte udgifter, mens den bevarer sin karakter af engangsbeløb.
However, given the rejection today of our Amendment No 18, which stated that we would do our utmost to ensure that this statute entered into force at the beginning of the next parliamentary term, Parliament is showing its true colours, and on the very day and in the very week when a new system for the reimbursement of travel expenses is being adopted, a system which is supposedly based on expenses actually incurred but is actually somewhat similar to a lump-sum system.
Det er grunden til, at vi har stemt imod betænkningen fra Rothley.
That is why we voted against the Rothley report.
Parlamentet vil ikke kaste lys og klarhed over medlemmernes godtgørelsessystem, hvilket især er skandaløst i forhold til den offentlige mening.
Parliament does not want to be open and transparent about the way in which its Members are paid, and that is particularly scandalous in terms of public opinion.
Blak, Iversen, Kirsten Jensen og Sindal (PSE), skriftlig. — De danske socialdemokrater støtter Rådets ændrede forslag til en statut for medlemmerne, fordi Europa-Parlamentet skal have orden i huset før valget.
Blak, Iversen, Kirsten Jensen and Sindal (PSE), in writing. — (DA) The Danish Social Democrats support the Council's amended draft Statute for Members, because the European Parliament needs to put its own house in order before the elections.
Der er ingen mulighed for at vente og forhandle med Rådet.
It is not possible to wait and negotiate with the Council.
Vi har skrevet under på et kompromisforslag, der kommer målet lidt nærmere i håbet om i det mindste at undgå den blanke afvisning af hele sagen.
We have endorsed a proposed compromise which brings us slightly nearer to our objective, in the hope of at least avoiding the whole matter being rejected outright.
Donnelly, Alan (PSE), skriftlig. — (EN) De britiske Labour-medlemmer af Europa-Parlamentet har skubbet på for at få en reform af alle EU's institutioner.
Donnelly, Alan (PSE), in writing. — The European Parliamentary Labour Party has pushed for reform of all the EU's institutions.
Vi har presset på for at få større åbenhed i Rådet.
We have pressed for more transparency in the Council.
Vi har stået i forgrunden for arbejdet med at sikre åbenhed og en mere effektiv ledelse i Kommissionen, og vi er nu nået frem til at skulle få bragt orden i vores eget hus, Parlamentet.
We have been at the forefront of the work to ensure openness and better management in the Commission and we now come to put our own house — Parliament — in order.
Vi har her til formiddag stemt for at søge at sikre, at der snarest muligt bliver truffet konkrete foranstaltninger.
We have voted this morning to try to ensure that concrete measures are put in place as quickly as possible.
Vi har været med i første række i reformprocessen og mener, at vi må nå frem til en konklusion i denne 'sag og indlede den nye valgperiode med statutten på plads.
We have been at the forefront of reform and believe that we have to reach a conclusion on this matter and start the new mandate with a statute in place.
Vi har presset på for at få et gennemsigtigt system for godtgørelse af rejseudgifter, lige løn for medlemmer fra alle lande og en ordentlig metode til direkte betaling af personale.
We have pressed for a transparent system of payments for travel expenses, an equal salary for MEPs from all countries, and a proper method of direct payments.for staff.
Rådet har sagt, at det vil se på enkelthederne omkring gennemførelsen af statutten sammen med Parlamentet, og vi ser frem til at komme til at spille en aktiv rolle i disse yderligere forhandlinger i løbet af de næste par uger.
The Council has said that it will look at the detail of implementation of the Statute alongside Parliament and we look forward to playing an active role in those further negotiations over the new few weeks.
Graenitz (PSE), skriftlig. — (DE) Ved alle afstemninger har jeg hverken stemt for eller imod, da jeg vil forlade Europa-Parlamentet og ikke ønsker at træffe afgørelse om de fremtidige parlamentsmedlemmers statut.
Graenitz PSE), in writing. — (DE) I abstained from all the votes because I will be leaving the European Parliament and do not wish to decide on the Statute for future Members.
Lage og Marinho (PSE), skriftlig. — (FT) De portugisiske socialdemokrater stemmer imod det beslutningsforslag, som i dag er blevet vedtaget i Europa-Parlamentet, fordi det hindrer ikrafttrædelsen af den statut for dets medlemmer, som Ministerrådet har foreslået, og som udgør en vigtig styrkelse af Europa-Parlamentets troværdighed.
Lage and Marinho (PSE), in writing. — (FT) The Portuguese Socialist Members voted against the motion for a resolution approved today in the European Parliament because this motion prevents the entry into force of the Statute for Members proposed by the Council of Ministers which represents an important reinforcement of Parliament's credibility.
Ved at bibeholde den nuværende statut udskydes et mangeårigt ønske fra Europa-Parlamentets side, nemlig, at lighedsprincippet langt om længe kunne råde mellem dets medlemmer.
The continuation of the current set of rales postpones a longstanding desire of the European Parliament to finally achieve the principle of equality between all Members.
