Den Tjekkiske Republik ønsker at være med i Den Europæiske Uni­on.
It would, he said, be "an unforgivable sin" if the project "were to languish and ultimately disappoint the hopes placed on it only because its very meaning was drowned in disputes over the technical details of its existence".
Det var det helt klare budskab i den tale, den tjekkiske præsident Vaclav Havel holdt i Europa­Parla­mentet i Strasbourg den 8. marts.
Specifically, he called for a basic charter that would lay down the principles on which the European Union was founded and based on a moral code applicable to all European citizens.
­ Tjekkiet ligger midt i Europa, og mange europæiske konflikter er begyndt eller sluttet hos os.
The European Union would clearly be more visible if it was represented by identifiable personalities to give effect to these values.
Det fælles værdier og fredelig samek­sistens, sagde Vaclav Havel.
In this way. he added, "if the citizens of Europe understand that this is not just an anonymous bureaucratic monster that wants to limit or even deny their autonomy, but simply a new type of human community that actually broadens their freedom significantly, then the European Union need not fear for its future.
I sin tale kom Havel også ind på, hvorfor Den Europæiske Union skal udvides.
¿ I do not perceive the European Union as a monstrous super state in which the autonomy of all the various nations, states, ethnic groups, . cultures, and regions of Europe gradually would be dissolved.
Kun en tåbe har intet lært af tusind års europæisk histo­rie og kan tro, at ro, fred og frem­gang kan blomstre i en del af Euro­pa uden hensyntagen til, hvad der har gjort det meget klart for os, at sker i resten af verdensdelen, sag­alt, hvad der sker i Europa, be­de den tjekkiske præsident.
On the contrary, I see it as the systematic creation of a space that allows the autonomous components of Europe to develop freely ,and in their own way, in an environment of lasting security and mutually beneficial co-operation based on principles of democracy, respect for human rights, civil society and an ( open market economy. > f : Vaclav Havel
Havel rører os, og at det omvendte også så begivenhederne i det tidligere er tilfældet, sagde Havel.
He then looked at the major challenges facing European decision-makers today.

Havel forsikrede, at Den Tjekki­ske Republik med glæde vil afgive en del af sin suverænitet for her­med at få del i den fælles suve­rænitet i Den Europæiske Union.
AMIDST growing uncertainty on the Union's doorstep and continuing conflict in Bosnia, MEPs came down firmly in favour of a gradual move towards a common European defence policy, with a military component under the umbrella of the European Union.
Vi ved, at det vil være til gavn for os og for resten af Europa.
Derek Prag (Hertfordshire, EPP) said it was important to place on record acknowledgement of the key role played by the United States and the Atlantic Alliance since the Second World War.
Vi kan håbe på en udvikling væk fra at være en evindelig slagmark for stridende herskere, stater, magter og ideologier til at blive et sted, præget af et givtigt samarbejde mellem alle borgere, baseret på indrømmede Havel.
It was important now to develop the European pillar, he added, warning against complacency and a reduction in defence forces.
Det var som at se ind i en teknisk kompliceret, velsmurt maskine, og jeg forstår godt, at mange finder det vanske­ligt at se de bærende ideer bag Den Europæiske Union, sagde Havel.
He emphasised, however, that it was not the intention to develop a super power slate.
Vesteuropa har brugt 50 år på at opbygge det nuværende samar­bejde, og det er da klart, at nye medlemmer ­ specielt dem, som forsøger at frigøre sig fra følgerne af kommunistiske regimer ­ ikke kan blive medlemmer af Den Eu­ropæiske Union fra den ene dag til den anden, sagde Havel.
Majority voting would be used, but, as Hans-Gert Poettering (G, EPP) explained, any decision to deploy troops would only be taken after approval of both the national parliaments and the European Parliament.
Han lag­de vægt på, at udsigten til en udvi­delse af EU er af afgørende inter­esse for Europa som helhed.
In addition the Commission would play a greater role in formulating policy.
Hvis den fremtidige europæiske opbyg­ning ikke vokser frem af en euro­pæisk union i udvidelse, baseret på de bedste europæiske værdier og viljen til at forsvare dem, risike­rer vi, at det i stedet bliver fanati­kere og folkeforførere, der former mentarer til de andre udfordrin­ger, EU står over for.
Belgian and Spanish contingent. But with preparations already underway for the next intergovernmental conference due to take place in 1996, Parliament was anxious to put on record its support for moves towards a single administrative structure for a common European foreign security and defence policy.
Han savne­de et »Europæisk Charter«, hvor­af det klart fremgår, hvilke ideer Den Europæiske Union bygger på, og hvad dens målsætning er.
This could come about through the absorption of the WEU into the European Union in 1998 on its 50th anniversary, although there would still be close co-operation with NATO and decisions taken under that framework whenever possible.

At present foreign and security policy comes under the third pillar of the Maastricht Treaty under intergovernmental arrangements, while military alliances come under the province of the largely moribund Western European Union (WEU) and NATO.

Mit budskab er derfor, at ånd­en, der ligger bag Den Euro­pæiske Union, skal gøres mere le­vende, tiltalende og tilgængelig for alle, sagde Havel.

Vaclav Havel set out his vision of Europe's future, and the completion of the enlargement negotiations with Austria, Sweden and Finland was welcomed — but it was made clear by numerous members that there will have to be movement on the question of voting arrangements in Council if Parliamentary approval is to be forthcoming.

It grew quite naturally out of an understanding that European integrity was a fact of life and from the efforts of many generations of Europeans to project the idea of unity into a specific 'supranational' European structure" His view of European unity was to give Europe for the first time in its history "the kind of order that would grow out of the free will of everyone and be based on mutual agreement and common longing for peace and co-operation".
Betænkningen blev vedtaget med stort flertal af Euro­pa­Parlamentet den 9. marts i Strasbourg. Ordfører var den por­tugisiske liberale Carlos Pimenta.

Parliament has striven to shape aspects of EU external policy.
Christine Crawley, British Labour, formand for Udvalget om Kvinders Rettigheder.
For example, it adopted a new 15m ECU budget line for 1994 to provide emergency aid for refugees and displaced persons in Africa and other developing countries.
Disse emner blev også diskute­ret, da de 436 ældre, som er med­lemmer af Ældreparlamentet, mødtes i Luxembourg i november sidste år.
With South Africa now final ly committed on the road to democracy. MEPs increased the budget for the special programme in f994 by 20m ECU to 110m ECU.
Det er blandt andet en sluterklæring herfra, som danner grundlag for Europa­Parlamentets beslutning.
About 12m ECU of this has already been allocated to assist the forthcoming elections in South Africa, including the deployment of more than 300 EU observers.
Billige EU­lån skal hjælpe små og mellemstore virksomheder med at skaffe flere arbejdspladser.
Another particular priority for MEPs in recent years has been the promotion of democracy in third countries.
Fæl­lesskabet skal yde en rentegodt­gørelse på lån fra Den Euro­pæiske Investeringsbank til små og mellemstore virksomheder.
The collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe after the fall of the Berlin Wall saw Parliament establish the European Democracy Initiative, backed by funding through lhe EU budget, with the aim of supporting the development of democracy based on the rule of law.
Der skal ydes en rentegodtgørel­se på indtil tre procentpoint over fem år, hvor rentegodtgørelsen skal kædes sammen med jobska­belse i de små og mellemstore virksomheder.
In its final budget vote last December Parliament secured a number of important changes to the 1994 external policy budget, including an additional 90m ECU in emergency humanitarian aid for Eastern and Central Europe and the former Soviet Union, and a special rehabilitation budget line of 45m ECU to help countries begin normal life after civil war or disaster.
Støtten bliver på i alt 1 mia. ecu svarende til ca. 7,5 mia. kr.
The 1994 4.3bn ECU aid budget also includes an emergency aid reserve of 2I2m ECU.
»Hvidbogen har overskriften »Vækst, konkurrenceevne og beskæftigelse«. Alene denne ti­tel viser, at Kommissionen og Rådet er ude af stand til at fri­gøre sig fra analyser og keynesi­anske løsningsmodeller, som måske kunne bruges i 1929, men som ikke dur i vore dage på tærsklen til år 2000.
Another long-standing priority for MEPs is human rights.
Vi har be­hov for en realistisk plan for Eu­ropa, og en realistisk plan for Europa ville ifølge De Grønne hedde »miljøfremme, solidaritet og beskæftigelse.«
Concern about the "greenhouse effect" and projections suggesting that large pails of the most important tropical forests in South America and Asia could be destroyed in as little as 25 years led MEPs in 1992 to open a new EU budget line for the protection and management of rainforests.
Ved udgangen af 1993 var der næsten 16 millioner arbejdsløse i Den Europæiske Union.
In cases of persistent abuses of human rights Parliament has advocated the suspension of EU aid and co-operation, as it did last December with a call for the expulsion of the Sudan from the Lomé aid agreement should there not be an improvement in the human rights situation in that country.
De små og mellemstore virksomheder med mindre end 250 medarbejde­re tegner sig for mere end 60% af den samlede beskæftigelse i Uni­onen.
Overall expenditure on developing countries doubled ewer the period 1988 lo 1993 lo some two billion ECU, in part due to the efforts of lhe Parliament's develop ment and co-operation committee to secure systematic increases in development aid.
På den baggrund er det nærliggende at gøre noget for at fremme beskæftigelsen i de min­dre virksomheder.
In 1993 EU-supported development projects were underway in more than 100 countries.

Parliament has made its views known on the use of child labour.
Bare vent til I selv eller en af jeres nærmeste bliver ramt, og I skal på en evin­delig jagt efter mad, som I kan tåle«.
With millions of children worldwide thought to be working in poor conditions for very low wages — some under conditions akin to slavery — Parliament is calling for the inclusion of a social clause in international trading agreements outlawing child and forced labour.
Han var imidlertid enig med Parlamentet i, at virksomheder med mindre end 250 medarbejdere bør have priori­tet med hensyn til renteordningen.
Respect for human rights have also featured large in the conclusion ol' five-year grant and loan package with countries in the Middle East and North Africa.
EU's ligestillingspolitik, kvinders situation i Øst­ og Cen­traleuropa og kvinders deltagelse i beslutningsprocesserne har været emner på udvalgets dagsorden.
Some individual companies, notably Levi Strauss, the jeans manufacturer, and Migros. the Swiss retailer, already insist that their suppliers meet conditions outlawing child labour.
Ligeløn og forældreorlov er nogle af de punkter, der for fremtiden vil optage udvalget. Dets formand er Christine Crawley (British Labour).
To this must be added the 12bn ECU in grants and loans for the 70 African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries disbursed under the Lomé Convention for the period 1990-1995.
Tove Nielsen fra Venstre er ord­fører for Europa­Parlamentets be­tænkning om sagen.
Going a step further. Parliament recently called on the EU to negotiate an agreement to limit in ternational trade to timber produced by sustainable means, with effect from 1995.
Parlamentet ønsker, at kun små og mellemsto­re virksomheder med højst 250 medarbejdere skal kunne få støt­te, hvor Kommissionen havde fo­reslået 500 ansatte.
Another idea is the introduction ol" an eco-label to enable consumers to identify tropical timber from sustainable forests.
Tove Nielsen accepterede den­ne løsning, hvorefter betænknin­gen blev vedtaget med stort flertal.
Parliament's ability to veto such deals led to MEPs blocking a 300m ECU agreement with Syria in 1992 and 1993.
