But while there was widespread disappointment at the EU's failure to agree a common line, it was left to PES group leader Pauline Green to point out that the EU (London North) was not responsible for military matters or deploying armies.
Som eksempler nævnte han bedre miljø beskyttelse, samarbejde om be kæmpelse af arbejdsløshed, åbenhed og større indflydelse til Europa-Parlamentet.

Amsterdamtraktaten vil også styrke Den Europæiske Union som en værdistruktur for et solidarisk fællesskab. Det er baseret på frihed, demokrati samt rets- og socialstat med fælles grund læggende rettigheder og borger rettigheder, understreger Europa-Parlamentet.

But despite some criticism, Mr Henderson claimed that the British presidency had fulfilled its obligations by keeping other member states informed and defending the EU's position.
Den er ufuldstændig, men den er et godt grundlag for freden i Europa.
Mr Henderson added: "The present dispute over 'presidential sites exposes the Iraqi propaganda that it is sanctions that are the cause of the hardship and suffering of the Iraqi people.

Gary Titley (Greater Man chester West, PES) took the view that the military option should be considered as a last resort and he contended that the common for eign policy should not mean that the EU was united on every issue but rather that there should be a common strategy to counter common threats.

Patricia McKenna (Dublin, Greens), for example, con tended that the new code would not prevent arms being sold to countries with a poor human rights record such as Turkey and Indonesia and that it was unfair to exclude EU countries such as Ireland which did not sell arms from the consultation process.

RESPONDING to criticism from MEPs that the new draft EU code of conduct on arms sale was a sham, Douglas Henderson argued that the key element in the code, that of introducing a consultation mechanism with a view to preventing one country from selling arms to a Third World country which had already been refused sales by another EU country represented a major breakthrough.

PORTUGAL'S President, Jorge Sampaio, came to Strasbourg to con firm his country's commitment to a strengthening of a European Union based on strong democratic principles.
I danskere har altid været kendt for at være blandt de bedst informerede.
His view of the EU was "an alliance of democratic countries and an association of sovereign bodies, ancient states and secular nations justifiably bound to their own individuality and identity".

The importance attached to environmental issues
Europa-Parlamentet har i alle årene delt danske synspunkter på en række områder. Lige fra de første spæde forsøg i 70'erne på at skabe ligestilling mellem kønnene har en række enkeltsager bekræftet, at den progressive politik, som Parlamentet står for, er i tråd med nordisk tankegang.
It was, he said, vital for the union to preserve "its fundamental nature as an association of sovereign states bound by common interests, a community of equals, where each member state maintains its own relative position based on the principles of solidarity and cohesion that are vital to guarantee the prospects of real economic convergence".
Vi er også nødt til at styrke miljøpolitikken for at få bremset den kolossale forurening, som gammel industri i Øst stadig forårsager. Det har Amsterdamtraktaten også et solidt bud på.

Blunkett calls for a third way
Både Europa-Parlamentets og Folketingets roller bliver styrket med Amsterdamtraktaten.
WHENEVER human rights are discussed by MEPs, the question of combatting racism and racist remarks is never far away and this year was no exception.
Fælles beslutningstagen mellem Rådet og Parlamentet bliver med Amsterdamtraktaten den mest anvendte beslutningsprocedure.
A large majority of members felt incensed enough at offensive remarks by some MEPs to adopt a paragraph in the resolution permitting Parliament's president to take disciplinary measures against any member making offensive racist remarks during official meetings.

• Clubs should make their policies on racism clear to other clubs. • Clubs should ensure that stewards and the police have a common strategy for removing or dealing with supporters who are in breach of their policies on racism.
Men selve strukturen i Den Europæiske Union blev ikke reformeret.
It is dangerous or unwise to take action against offenders during the match, but they should be identified and barred from all further matches.
Traktaten er stadigvæk opbygget som "det europæiske hus" med tre søjler og et tag.
Opening the conference, Eddie Newman (Greater Manchester Central, PES) said: "Football, a great game, popular right across Europe and beyond, has been tarnished by the twin evils of racism and nationalism.
Taget består af de indledende bestemmelser i traktaten, hvor EU's formål og grund læggende principper er nævnt.
This is, of course, not just confined to football but it has had, unfortunately, a high profile across the continent."
Den første søjle omfatter det al mindelige fællesskab, mens samarbejdet om udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik udgør anden søjle, og i den tredje søjle er retspolitik og indre anliggender.

Europa-Parlamentet får indflydelse på udnævnelsen af formand en for Kommissionen.
This role has grown, especially since the first direct elections in 1979.
Parlamentet skal fremover godkende den person, som medlemsstaternes regeringer foreslår udnævnt til kommissionsformand.
Since 1983 Parliament has regularly held a major debate on human rights in the world and has adopted a series of significant reports on the subject.

I en protokol til Amsterdam-traktaten pålægges Kom missionen at sende alle høringsdokumenter (grøn- og hvidbøger samt meddelelser) til de nationale parlamenter.
Mr Blunkett argued that the British government was aiming to pursue a third way between having an overprotected labour market and the deregulation that prevails in the US.

• Clubs should issue a statement saying that they will not tolerate racism. • Clubs should make clear the action they will take against supporters who are caught in indecent or racist chanting.
Det skal sikre, at medlemslandene ikke indfører miljøregler blot for at skabe en handelshindring, der kan fremme landets egne produkter.
The statement should be printed in all match programmes and displayed permanently and prominently around the grounds.
Det er Kommissionen, der inden for en frist af seks måneder skal godkende de nationale miljøregler.
In 1995 MEPs rejected a proposal by the Council to cut funding in this area by half.
Hvis Kommissionen ikke når at svare, inden tidsfristen udløber, træder de nationale regler automatisk i kraft.
A wide range of activities is supported, including the reha­bilitation of torture victims and the work of the International Tribunals on the former Yugo­slavia and on Rwanda.
Amsterdamtraktaten vil derfor betyde en styrkelse af miljøbeskyttelsen, og Europa-Parlamentet er da også godt tilfreds med de nye regler på miljøområdet.
Parliament has taken the view that a permanent International Criminal Court should be estab­lished in order to bring all those guilty of war crimes and geno­cide to justice.
Miljøgarantien har eksisteret siden 1986 og er af stor dansk interesse.
MEPs have pressed for the inclusion of human rights provisions in the EU's external agreements and in the successive EU treaties.
Den giver medlemslandene ret til at beskytte miljø og arbejdsmiljø i højere grad, end det der er vedtaget i EU.
Parliament is in a position to block certain agreements with other countries in the case of human rights abuses.
I Amsterdam-traktaten er ordet »anvende« blevet erstattet med ordet »opretholde«.
For instance, in 1993 MEPs withheld assent to financial protocols with Syria.
Det betyder, at de skrappere nationale miljøregler skal have eksisteret inden vedtagelsen af EU-loven, for ellers er der ikke noget at »opretholde«.
This was believed to have led to a significant number of Syrian Jews being allowed to leave the country, as well as other limited improvements in human rights.
Men samtidig er der i Amsterdam traktaten som noget nyt åbnet mulighed for at »indføre« skrappere nationale miljøregler.
This, Mr White contended, was contrary to EU legislation designed to ensure the same price for letter deliveries across the Union.
Det kræver dog fremlæggelse af »nyt videnskabeligt materiale«, og der
But Commissioner Mario Monti said there were provisions in the legislation to allow for differences in tariffs if those could be justified on grounds of cost.
Som helhed er Amsterdam-traktaten et virkeligt fremskridt.

Nyt fra Europa
Anger over World Cup tickets sent their thanks to the European Parliament.
Fra tilskuer til medspiller fik Parlamentet lidt mere at skulle have sagt; men den tunge magt blev i Rådet.
As the most demo­cratic and accountable of the EU institutions it is in an ideal position to continue to push for respect of human rights, and this role is likely to increase in future years.
De fælles europæiske interesser skal varetages af Europa­Kom­missionen, som er Unionens for­valtning.
Parliament is also becoming an increasingly important actor in promoting human rights through its status as the EU's joint budgetary authority.
Men det er også Kom­missionen, der fremsætter forslag til EU­love.
It established the European Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights which brings together in one chapter of the EU budget funding to promote human rights.

GRAHAM Watson (Somerset and North Devon, ELDR) complained about the French authorities' ticket allocation system for the 1998 World Cup which limited world­wide sales to 40 per cent of total tickets while 60 per cent were restricted resulted in extortionate prices for tickets on the black market.
