Among other suggestions were "anti­drug discotheques".
Det er svært at forudse produktionsudsving og udviklingen på landbrugsmarkederne. Derfor ønsker Parlamentet, at der fortsat sker en vis regulering ved hjælp af pris- og markedspolitikken.

towards the EU after the prime minister, Tony Blair, confirmed his European credentials in a speech summing up progress made under the British presidency over the past six months.
Der skal tages hensyn til beskæftigelse, fødevareforsyning, energi, miljø og vandforsyning. Den nye fælles landbrugspolitik skal arbejde i retning af en global indsats og en bæredygtig udvikling, foreslår Parlamentet.
There was no doubting Mr Blair's enthusiasm and support for European integration but he was more than anxious to emphasise the need for reforms to bring the EU closer to the citizen and make the European ideal attractive to young people who had not grown up under the threat of the Cold War.
Men der kommer øget konkurrence, og der bliver tilpasningsvanskeligheder for landbrugerne og myndighederne i de nye medlemslande.
In addition, he emphasised that the UK did contact other EU states over Iraq.
Udvidelsen kommer til at koste penge, og det bliver svært at op retholde indkomsterne og beskæftigelsen inden for landbruget i de nuværende EU-lande.
zens that their national identity was not under threat. The future debate on the EU should concentrate on defining which policies were best carried out at a European level.
Der er stadig stor forskel på den beskyttelse og støtte, der ydes til landbrugsprodukter fra henholdsvis Mellem- og Nordeuropa og fra Middelhavslandene, påpeger Eu ropa-Parlamentet.
He singled out the environment as an important area and felt that the last-minute agree ment by the environment council on how the EU should implement the Kyoto commitment to reduce pollution from green house gasses should not be underestimated.
Man opfordrer Rådet og Kommissionen til at af hjælpe denne ubalance ved den kommende reform af landbrugs politikken.
This was just one of a number of successes of the British presidency, he main tained, before emphasising that the successful launch of the single currency as seen by the reaction of the markets was no mean achievement. It would have been disastrous if it had gone wrong.
I en meddelelse fra Kommissionen, der kaldes »Agenda 2000«, drejer et stort kapitel sig om fremtiden for den fælles landbrugspolitik.
And on the Agenda 2000 programme of CAP and regional fund reforms, he frankly admit ted that he would have liked to
Men EU's udvidelse er ikke den eneste grund til en reform af den fælles landbrugspolitik. Reformen er først og fremmest nødvendig af interne hensyn, samtidig med at den skal forberede udvidelsen og skabe betingelserne for de fremtidige forhandlinger inden for Ver
But Parliament's assessment of the British presidency was low-key, as could be seen in a resolution commanding multiparty support which did little more than "take note" of intended areas for action over CAP and regional fund reforms in the run-up to enlargement and, a new strategy to tackle the threat of drugs.

The resolution did, however, welcome progress in moves to tackle unemployment and there was praise for British efforts to break the impasse in the Middle East as well as appreciation of action taken to secure peace in affairs.
- Der er meget store forskelle på situationen for de enkelte landmænd i EU, sagde ordføreren for Parlamentets betænkning om den nye landbrugspolitik, portugiseren Arlindo Cunha fra Det Europæiske Folkepartis Gruppe.
But both Mr Martens and Gijs de Vries (NI, ELDR) reserved their criticisms for the attacks on the Commission, notably by Germany at Cardiff.
Mange landbrugsprodukter fra Middelhavslande får på nuværende tidspunkt ingen støtte, påpegede han.
In fact, the Commission should be praised for upholding European law in defiance of Germany, said Mr De Vries, taking the German government to task for contesting a European Court ruling defending citizens' right to benefit
Miljø og udvikling af landdistrikterne ene side bøde for prisnedsættelser og på den anden side sikre de opgaver, som landbruget varetager i forbindelse med fysiks planlægning og bevarelse af miljø og landskab, hedder det i Parlamentets beslutning.
The reaction of MEPs was that the Cardiff summit was more a "stocktaking" exercise rather than a forum for major decisions, although Europe People's Party leader Wilfried Martens (B, EPP) welcomed the efforts of the British presidency to put a "human face" on EU
Produktion og salg af fødevarer skal fortsat være landmændenes vigtigste indtægtskilde.
He recognised real concerns amongst genuine supporters of European integration, about centralisation, bureaucracy and an economic policy governed by regulation.
Det er den bedste garanti for en bæredygtig udvikling af landdistrikterne, fremhæver Parlamentet.
He put on record his opposition to state control of industry, prclerring instead to see governments playing a positive, enabling role with a view to helping businesses to prosper in the global economy.

The "European social model" was also due for reform, he said, while political reforms should concentrate on reassuring citi from freedom of movement.
John Iversen var dog glad for, at der var taget højde for et forslag om at medtage de forste ansøgerlande i ordningerne om miljovenlig produktion allerede fra 1999.
But Edward McMillan-Scott (North Yorkshire, EPP) felt that the historic opportunities offered to the presidency had been missed.
De lande i Central- og Øst europa, der har søgt om optagelse i EU, har en stor landbrugsproduktion, påpegede han.
The presidency, he said, was "sound without bite", terming the launch of the euro as a farce.
Disse landmænd skulle nødigt ofre miljøet for at klare sig i kampen på det indre marked, understregede John Iversen.
This, he concluded, had been a "Robin Reliant presidency" as Mr Blair had relied much on Robin Cook during the past six months.
- Betænkningen om den fremtidige landbrugspolitik afspejler et kompromis, sagde John Iversen (Socialdemokratiet).

Finnish leader calls for reform of institutions
EU's landbrugspolitik skal fortsat være en fælles politik for alle medlemslande, understreger Par lamentet.
FINLAND'S President Martti Ahtisaari, came before the House to outline priorities that he felt would be important next year when Finland takes over the Council presidency after Germany.
Men politikken skal i højere grad leve op til samfundets krav om kvalitet, sundhed og produkter med smag.
Amsterdam, he said the priority now was to concentrate on reforms to make the EU more effective.
Alsidigheden skal bevares med et bredt udbud, der kan gøre Europa til noget særligt i forhold til konkurrenterne.
This, he felt, should be done by making more use of qualified majority voting in areas that were essentially European issues.
Kvalitetsprincippet og fødevaresikkerheden skal være et ufravigeligt grundlag, kræver Europa-Parlamentet.
The Cardiff summit: European leaders await Chancellor Kohl's arrival
Tony Blair i Europa-Parlamentet lokalt niveau, sagde den britiske premierminister.
THE first appearance by a British Labour prime min ister before the European Parliament was the high light of this month's session in Strasbourg that saw MEPs looking forward to the Austrian presidency and an October summit to discuss institutional reforms and ways of making the EU more democratic.
Der er tradition for, at regeringschefen i det land, der har formand skabet i EU, møder op i Europa-Parlamentet og aflægger beretning ved slutningen af perioden.
Such reforms should introduce a system that would be flexible in the sense that it would be effective, no matter how many new members were admitted in the future, and sustainable.
Kooriiinniiissionieffii skal involveres tæt ii det forberedende arbejde forud for de« informelle topmode til efteråret, opfordrede Wilfried Martens.
We must search our souls and ask whether what we are doing lives up to the expectations that are focused on us." satisfaction that ministers were now looking at the issue and in referring to the recent critical headlines in the press noted that Mr Blair had added that he was sure that most MEPs were honest and hardworking.

Hun mindede om, at det handler om at bringe Europa tættere på for at indlede debatten om topmødet i Cardiff.
In addition, there is a daily hotel and meal allowance of £157, plus the repayment of travel costs.
Første halvår 1998 har været præget af to store begivenheder: starten på udvidelsesprocessen med de central- og østeuropæiske lande samt den formelle beslutning om at ØMU'en starter den 1. januar 1999.
A draft proposal for a common system has already been submitted to the Bureau by David Martin (Lothians, PES), who is also proposing that allowances be based on expenditure incurred.

The Austrians will be expected to follow suit.
På topmodet i Cardiff blev statsog regeringscheferne enige om at modes igen til efteråret til et uformelt topmode.

The Middle East was another problem area where MEPs were hoping to find new initiatives to break the current deadlock.
Brug for reformer rale og Demokratiske Partis Gruppe, hollænderen Gijs de Vries beklagede, at Europa-Kommissionen kritiseres som led i den tyske valgkamp. I stedet for at kritisere Kom missionen for at forsøge at over holde konkurrencelovgivningen, burde Tyskland afvikle sin kulstøtte, mente han.
But "if wc can't do that for 626 MEPs then we should give up trying to agree policies to help Europe's 370 million citizens," she added.
Tony Blair erklærede sig for over bevist tilhænger af EU - men som modstander af statusquo.
It will be asking the national governments to adopt a common statute for all MEPs and take a decision on the size of the salary.
Han påpegede et stort behov for økonomiske og politiske reformer.
At present salaries are the same as for national MPs but vary from around the equiva
Det hilser Europa-Parlamentet velkomment i sin beslutning om topmødet i Cardiff.
Parliament endorsed his approach in a resolution adopted on the summit's out come, further reinforcing the pressure for change.
På den politiske front så Tony Blair udfordringerne i skabe en vi sion, der både anerkender borgernes nationale identitet og behovet for at handle i fællesskab.
His other concern was to see the EU become more effective in the resolution of international conflicts.
På nogle områder er der brug for mere integration, på andre områder kan der gøres meget mere på national og
In this respect, the Union should have the political will to intervene in crises and "also militarily if necessary".
Formanden for Det Europæiske Folkepartis Gruppe, belgieren Wilfried Martens så den næste store udfordring i at forbedre institutionerne og give dem større demokratisk legitimitet. Han konstaterede, at der ikke kom noget svar fra
On security issues, he was particularly concerned about Finland's border with Russia and warned that with such differences in standards of living between the two countries, there was the danger of new problems emerging and it was in the interests of all Europeans to be aware of this.
- Der er gode og dårlige grunde til at gå ind for nærhedsprincippet, påpegede Tony Blair.
In addition, he said the threats facing the EU today, were illegal immigration, international crime and potential dangers to the environment.
Den gode grund er, at de beslutninger, der kan tages tættere til borgerne, skal tages tættere på borgerne.
The central task of the EU, he fell, was to "defend the European model of society," founded on social responsibility and solidarity.
Den dårlige grund er, når Europa-Kommissionen faktisk gør det arbejde, den skal for at få gennemfort det indre marked, sagde Tony Blair.
While emphasising that Finland supported a strong Union and that steps forward had been made, particularly with regard to employment and the environment in the Treaty of
Den årlige fangst fra industrifiskeriet i Nordsøen var i de seneste år 1,3 til 1,5 mio tons, svarende til 60% af den samlede fangst på 2,5 mio tons.

prices and introduced produc­tion thresholds, thus bringing an end to cereal and beef moun­tains by proposing further dras­tic cuts in, for example, cereal and beef prices, with farmers compensated through direct payments, or given opportuni­ties to develop alternative forms of income in areas such as tourism.
Kritikerne anfører, at industrifiskeriet som bifangst har endnu ikke udvoksede konsumfisk. Det anføres også, at industrifiskerne fanger de fisk, der skulle tjene til føde for andre fiskearter samt for havfugle og havpattedyr.
The theory is that this will bring EU prices more into line with world prices and thus enable the EU to comply with World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules and phase out sub­sidies of exports.
Som et led i overgangsordningerne i forbindelse med EU-medlemskabet fik de lov til at blive ved med det.
The Commission envisages savings of Ecul.4bn for cereals, Ecul.2bn for beef and Ecu 900m for dairy production.
Overgangsordningen udløber nu; men da er ikke er problemer med sildebestanden i Østersøen, foreslår Kommissionen at forlænge ordningen og at give Danmark og Tyskland, der også har kvoter i Østersøen, mulighed for at fiske sild til industriel anvendelse.
The dramatic loss for Labour comes about because the old "first-past-the-post" system distorts the result In terms of seats gained to such an extent that in 1994, for example, Labour gained 62 seats, or 74 per cent of those contested, with just 44 per cent of the vote.
Parlamentet godkendte forslaget. Niels Anker Kofoed var ikke til hænger af, at man fisker sild til fiskemel i Østersøen, for bestanden er ikke særlig stor. Han kunne godt forstå, at Sverige og Finland gør det i den nordlige del af Østersøen, men han mente, at det også påvirker sildebestanden i resten af Østersøen.
Parliament will next month consider a recommendation from the institutional committee for European elections in all member states to be based on PR, preferably with an element of preferential voting.

Promoting quality products through farm shops is another idea, along with rural tourism and the produc­tion of renewable raw materials.
Jeg vil gerne påpege, at de, der kritiserer Unionen for, at den ikke opnår noget, når det f.eks. gælder beskæftigelsen, jo ofte er dem, der heller ikke er parat til at skabe nogle fælles instrumenter for at komme videre,

REGIONAL CONSTITUENCIES FOR THE 1999 EUROPEAN ELECTIONS
Europa-Parlamentet har vedtaget en initiativ-betænkning om industrifiskeri i Nordsøen.
The cost of applying the new CAP to the applicant member states would eventually rise to
Parlamentet mener, at et moderat industrifiskeri også kan forsvares i Nordsøen, Skagerak og Kattegat, hvis det overholder princippet om vedvarende udbytte.
The Commission argues that the cost of absorbing the new countries can be accommodated within the EU's existing finan­cial guidelines, or a 1.27 per cent limit of the EU's GNP.
Parlamentet fremhæver i den forbindelse, at de danske fiskeri myndigheder i 1996 indførte et omfattende overvågningssystem med mange stikprøver.
The annual budget is forecast to rise from Ecu 101.5 billion in 2000 to Ecul05bn by 2006, with the increase met by an annual increase in the growth rate of 2.5 per cent.

In addition, applying existing CAP rules and the present level of price support to countries from eastern and central Europe would not only make their farmers rich overnight in comparative terms with the rest of trie local population but also create surpluses in the sugar, milk and meat sectors.
Under debatten kom Niels-Anker Kofoed ind på nogle aspekter af selve forvaltnngen af res sourcerne i Østersøen. Han fandt det uforståeligt, at man begrænser laksefiskeriet meget kraftigt, når der er rigeligt med laks.
