Francesco Cossiga, formand for Det europæiske Råd
Mr Cossiga, President of the European Council
Med hensyn til de internationale politiske problemer, der nævnes i den i Luxembourg vedtagne erklæring, pegede formanden for Det europæiske Råd bl. a. på, at Iran kun kan have fordel af en fredelig løsning på den nuværende krise i betragtning af de interne problemer, Iran skal finde en løsning på.
The Council has already decided on the mandate for negotiation of autolimitation agreements with the principal suppliers and discussions are in train.
Francesco Cossiga henviste til den mislykkede amerikanske aktion i Iran og udtrykte medfølelse med familierne til ofrene for denne operation. Han erklærer i den anledning, at en løsning på krisen må søges gennem fredelige midler.
This approach recognizes that, if such autolimitation agreements are reached but not respected, measures would be taken immediately to restrain the volume of imports from the third country in question.
På en pressekonference efter mødet gav Francesco Cossiga, formand for Det europæiske Råd, udtryk for stor skuffelse over, at det havde været umuligt at nå frem til et kompromis, selv om afstanden mellem parterne havde været for holdsvis begrænset.
At a press conference held after the meeting, Mr Cossiga, President of the European Council, expressed his disappointment over the failure to reach a compromise when there had remained but a relatively short way togo.
På den fælles pressekonference efter Det europæiske Råd tog Roy Jenkins ordet efter Francesco Cossiga og udtalte bl. a. :
If at other periods of the year a serious situa tion were to arise necessitating market support through intervention, the Commission after taking the advice of the Management Committee could introduce intervention on a temporary basis at such periods.
Han erklærede i korte træk, at alle havde gjort en meget stor indsats, og at man havde været meget nær ved at opnå enighed, men den korte afstand, der fortsat var tilbage, havde vist sig at være en hindring, som man ikke havde kunnet komme over på dette møde i Luxembourg.
A tremendous effort had been made all round and they had come very close to agreement. But the 'short way' still to go had proved too much for the Luxembourg meeting.
Med hensyn til landbrugspriserne konstaterede Francesco Cossiga, at en eventuel britisk blokering indebar risiko for, at der kunne opstå en meget ømtålelig situation, idet problemet med godkendelsen af Fællesskabets budget hermed forværredes.
On the farm price issue Mr Cossiga pointed out that a British 'veto' was liable to make the situa tion very tricky, since it would create even more problems for the approval of the Com munity budget.
Som svar på en forespørgsel gav han i øvrigt udtryk
In reply to a question he con sidered that nothing in what Mrs Thatcher had said suggested that the British Govern ment might take 'retaliatory measures'.
Rådet var ikke en skuffelse som sådan, da det mest skuffende europæiske Råd fandt sted i Bruxelles, hvor vi troede, vi fik indført EMS.
If the expenses for the market organization were to exceed the estimates, the abovementioned
Min skuffelse over dette Råd er så meget desto større, som vi var så tæt på enighed — nærmere end jeg havde troet muligt, men det glippede for os, og vi

European Council to the British contribution.
Under alle omstændigheder kan dette nu synes mere passende. de.
But they had failed to secure the overall solution that was wanted.
Fordi man på to på hinanden følgende europæiske Råd havde koncentreret sig om de britiske budgetproblemer, var det måske uundgåeligt, at der ikke blev gjort større fremskridt med hensyn til andre problemer såsom energi og monetære spørgsmål.
It was inevitable, perhaps, that given this concentration, in two successive European Councils, on the British budgetary problems, we were not able to make much progress on other issues such as energy and monetary questions.
Det lykkedes os ikke desto mindre at gennemføre en seriøs og konstruktiv drøftelse af Iran, Afghanistan og Mellemøsten.
Nevertheless, we were able to have long, serious and constructive discussions on Iran, Afghanistan and the Middle East.
Man kan imidlertid ikke undgå at betragte resultatet af dette europæiske Råd som andet end en skuffelse, og ingen vil være i stand til at påstå, at det var en bragende succes, men det vil være en fejltagelse at betragte det som en katastrofe.
Therefore while the outcome of this European Council was inevitably disappointing and no one can pretend that it was a resounding success, it would be a mistake to regard it as a catastrophe.
De bestræbelser, der blev udfoldet, og de fremskridt, der blev konstateret, vil give os et grundlag for de yderligere bestræbelser, vi må udfolde for at finde en løsning på budgetspørgsmålet, som i al for lang tid har splittet Fællesskabet. «
The efforts that were made and the progress that had been registered provide us with a basis for the further efforts we must make to find a solution to the budgetary issue which has divided the Com munity for too long.'
Efter Kommissionens møde den 30. april offentliggjordes følgende communiqué:
At the end of its meeting on 30 April the Commission issued the following communiqué:
»Vi drøftede to spørgsmål: det ene — som var noget ganske normalt i en fællesskabssammenhæng — dreje de sig om den årlige fastsættelse af landbrugspriserne (...) [det andet] var helt specielt, nemlig Storbritanniens anmodning om, at de eksisterende, ratificerede regler for landets bidrag til Fællesskabet skulle ændres, fordi Storbritannien fandt bidraget for tyngende; derfor blev vi anmodet om at lette dette bidrag.
Turning to the international problems spoken of in the declaration adopted at Luxembourg, the President of the European Council made it clear that Iran had everything to gain from a peaceful solution to the present crisis, par ticularly considering the problems it had to solve at home. Mentioning the abortive American raid in Iran, Mr Cossiga—while sharing the distress of the families of those who perished—reaffirmed that the solution to the present crisis must be sought by peace ful means.
»EF-Kommissionen har fået en rapport fra formanden, Roy Jenkins og næstformand, François-Xavier Ortoli, om forløbet af det nyligt afholdte europæiske Råd.
'The Commission heard a report from President Jenkins and Vice-President Ortoli on the recent session of the European Council.
Kommissionen føler sig umiddelbart skuffet og bekymret over at måtte konstatere, at mødet i Luxembourg ikke gav de fornødne svar på de væsentlige spørgsmål, der er opstået vedrørende Fællesskabets udvikling og funktion, og som berører så mange europæiske borgeres velfærd.
Its initial reaction is one of disappointment and concern that the session failed to come up with the answers which are needed to the all-important questions that arise for the development and proper functioning of the Community, on which the well-being of European citizens depends.
Stillet over for denne krise er Kommissionen fast besluttet på at leve op til sit ansvar for hurtigt at finde de nødvendige løsninger.
In dealing with this crisis, the Commission is resolved to assume its full responsibilities for helping rapidly to find the necessary solutions.
Kommissionen vil træffe alle nødvendige foranstaltninger med henblik herpå.
It will take all appropriate steps to this end.
Med hensyn til det første emne, landbruget, har v anmodet om, at der træffes forberedelser til mødet Landbrugsministrene har haft ét møde, og Kommissio nen har forelagt dem et forslag.
The danger of Europe becoming paralysed as a result of the failure to take decisions must be avoided.
Dette forslag kan resu meres således: en forhøjelse af landbrugspriserne på 5% samt en række sideløbende foranstaltninger.
This means that the various Councils must also assume their responsibilities and thus ensure the proper functioning of the Community.
Dette skulle give Frankrig lidt mere end 1096, fordi vi fortsat skal gennemføre en justering på 5%.
Only in these conditions can the European Council play its proper role of political guidance.
Europa trues med lammelse på grund af manglende beslutningsdygtighed, hvilket bør afværges.
'This was the most tantalizingly disappointing European Council I have attended.

It was not a straightforward disappointment—the most disappointing European Council was in Brussels when we thought we had put the EMS in place.
Denne stigning på 5% er accepteret af otte af de ni medlemsstater. (...)

Derfor må den normale procedure nu føres til ende.
V7ews of the Heads of State or Government
Som svar på et spørgsmål oplyste Margaret Thatcher, at muligheden for en eventuel standsning af betalingen af det britiske momsbidrag kun kunne tænkes som en sidste udvej.
A number of Heads of State or Government commented on the results of the Luxembourg European Council immediately after the meeting or on their return home.
I virkeligheden drejede det sig altså om en genforhandling af de finansielle bestemmelser.
What they really amount to is a renegotiation of the financial rules.
Dvs. at Storbritannien må vælge mellem to standpunkter: enten finder Storbritannien, at markedsordningerne ikke passer, og i så fald skal disse genforhandles inden for rammerne af en genforhandling, dvs. et tilbundsgående arbejde og fremlæggelse af forslag, eller også accepterer Storbritannien markedsordninger, som ganske enkelt er for belastende for landet i en afgrænset periode, og følgelig udarbejder man forslag, således som vi har gjort. I mellemtiden har forbundskansler Helmut Schmidt trukket disse forslag tilbage.
This means that the United Kingdom can choose between two positions: either it considers that the arrangements do not suit her, in which case they must be renegotiated—this must be done in the proper manner, i.e. after careful examination and proposals; or it accepts the arrangements and simply points out that the burden they are imposing will be too heavy during a specific period; then must come proposals like the ones we made.
Under alle omstændigheder, er det nu på ministerplan, at disse forhandlinger og drøftelser skal fortsættes.«
At all events, further negotiations and discussions must now be between the Ministers.'
Det drejer sig ikke om obstruktion, mente premierministeren; i lige så høj grad, som jeg er rede til at hjælpe mine partnere med at løse deres problemer, skal de hjælpe mig med at løse mine.
He also stated that the European Council must again become the European Council, giving the impetus and not indulging in hours of 'bargaining' or argument which were the business of Ministers in the Council.
Men hun udtalte, at selv i den nuværende situation fandt hun ingen grund til fortvivlelse.
A few days later, on 5 May, the French President, speaking on television, commented on the 'Luxembourg crisis':
Det forenede Kongeriges premierminister, Margaret Thatcher, henledte opmærksomheden på, at det internationale aspekt i drøftelserne i Det europæiske Råd havde været meget positivt — hvad der også fremgår af den i den anledning offentliggjorte erklæring — og kommenterede derefter de grunde, der havde ført til, at Det forenede Kongerige havde nægtet at gå med til de forelagte kompromisforslag.
Having emphasized that the 'international' side of the discussion at the European Council had been extremely positive—as attested by the declaration issued—the British Prime Minister, Mrs Thatcher, explained why the United Kingdom had been obliged to reject the compromise solutions proposed.
Det europæiske Råd i Luxembourg, erklærede han kort og godt, er et møde, hvis udfald jeg virkelig beklager.
One was the altogether normal business of fixing the agricultural prices for this year ...
Jeg har det for mig deprimerende indtryk, at Det europæiske Fællesskab i dag har taget et betydeligt tilbageskridt, som den generelle situation, vi befinder os i, gør endnu mere beklagelig. lig.
The other, quite separate, was the fact that one of our partners, the United Kingdom, was asking for changes in the existing rules, in the ratified rules, establishing the amount of its contribution, which it considered too large and which it wanted us to reduce.
Med hensyn til det britiske bidrag til Fællesskabets budget havde Margaret Thatcher bemærket, af Det forenede Kongeriges otte partnere havde knyttet dette problem sammen med andre, idet de øvrige partnere gik ind for en pakkeløsning.
As regards the British contribution to the Community budget, Mrs Thatcher noted that the United Kingdom's eight partners had linked this problem to others and were think ing in terms of a 'package deal'.
Hver side, udtalte hun, havde gjort indrømmelser.
Concessions had been made by both sides.
Der var blevet udarbejdet kompromisforslag, der omfattede såvel omfanget af kompensationen, som hvor længe den skulle vare (meget vigtigt).
Compromise solutions had been worked out which covered both the amount of compensation and, what was very important, its duration.
Men selv om omfanget skulle vise sig næsten tilfredsstillende, var varigheden reduceret til et enkelt år; hvis på den anden side kompensationen skulle gælde i 5 år, ville beløbet være aldeles utilstrækkeligt.
Mrs Thatcher agreed that at one point agreement seemed to be in sight; but finally they had to admit failure (concerning the compensation in respect of the second year). The 150 million EUA which separated the two positions represented a large sum for the United

Kingdom, but if split between the other eight Member States, it was not all that much.
Vi lægger stor vægt på det europæiske sammenhold, men vi kan ikke gå med til at udsætte Fællesskabets grundlæggende system, nemlig de egne indtægter, for fare.«
In answer to a question Mrs Thatcher indicated that the possibility of the British contributions of VAT revenue being withheld was seen only as a last resort.
For så vidt angår drøftelserne af det britiske bidrag til Fællesskabets budget, redegjorde for bundskansleren for udgangsstillingen, de britiske ønsker, som de andre otte lande fandt urealistiske, de fremkomne kompromisforslag, bl. a. hans eget, som kunne have gjort det unødvendigt at forlade Luxembourg uden noget resultat, hvis det var blevet vedtaget.
Chancellor recapitulated at length on the positions at the outset: the British demands, con sidered to be unrealistic by the other eight countries, the series of compromise solutions proposed, notably by himself, which had they been adopted would have enabled them to leave Luxembourg with something achieved.
Men alle de forelagde løsninger blev betragtet som utilstrækkelige af Det forenede Kongerige.
But all the arrangements envisaged had been deemed inadequate by the United Kingdom.
Hvad angår landbrugspriser ne, blev det kompromis, som Rådet (landbrugsministrene) havde udarbejdet, fejet at bordet af den britiske delegation.
As for the agricultural prices, the compromise worked out by the Ministers of Agriculture had been 'brushed off' by the British Delegation.
Det samme gjaldt fårekødet. det.
It was the same story with sheepmeat.
Han var meget skuffet over det dårlige udfald, fordi det der blev tilbudt var af en forbavsende størrelse.
It was not a question of obstruction as she saw it; she was ready to help her partners solve their problems, and they must help her to solve hers.
Den nederlandske premierminister havde imidlertid ikke opgivet ethvert håb, idet han udtalte »sagen er endnu ikke tabt«.
It was a question of mutual assistance. Mrs Thatcher also pointed out that some of the proposals had not been adequately prepared (farm prices, sheepmeat, fisheries), and this had prompted some of the British reservations.
Stillet over for denne manglende succes blev det vedtaget ikke at genoptage drøftelsen af disse spørgsmål på Det europæiske Råds møde i juni (i Venedig).
After this failure it had been agreed not to continue the discussion of these same problems at the Venice European Council in June, which would have the job of preparing the ground for the Western Economic Summit to be held also in Venice a fortnight later.
Dette møde skal forberede det vestlige økonomiske topmøde, som finder sted 14 dage senere i samme by.
The problems unresolved at Luxembourg would be referred to the Council of Ministers.
De problemer, der ikke løstes i Luxembourg, sendes tilbage til Ministerrådet.
Mr Schmidt was not particularly hopeful of an agreement merging rapidly from their discussions. sions.
Den belgiske premierminister Martens lagde navnlig vægt på to ting: det manglende sammenhold inden for Fællesskabet under Det europæiske Råds møde i Luxembourg og nødvendigheden af at ændre visse institutionelle procedurer.
The Belgian Prime Minister, Mr Martens, laid the emphasis on two points: the lack of Community spirit at the Luxembourg European Council and the need to change certain institutional procedures, on which he had this to say:
»Det, at princippet om sammenhold inden for Fælles skabet ikke har kunnet opretholdes på et tidspunkt, hvor den spændte internationale situation ville gøre det rimeligt, er i sig selv en meget alvorlig sag
'The fact that we failed to preserve the cohesion of the Community at a time when the tense international situation more than justified it is in itself a very serious matter...
Pierre Werner tilkendegav, at han ikke havde ventet sig en sådan udvikling, så meget mere som Det europæiske Råd havde været velforberedt af det italienske formandskab, og at alt skulle gøre det muligt at komme til en aftale.
Reviewing the business before the European Council in Luxembourg he numbered seven issues which had all needed to be settled: the British contribution to the Community budget; the fixing of the agricultural prices; a clear decision on unconditional adherence to the 1% VAT ceiling; sheepmeat; fisheries, or at least a constructive approach concerning the necessary arrangements; lastly, the initiation of an overall policy on energy.
Den luxembourgske ministerpræsident erklærede i øvrigt vedrørende det britiske bidrag til Fællesskabets budget, at Det forenede Kongeriges forhandlingspartnere var gået så langt, som de kunne.

Den danske statsminister Anker Jørgen­sen kaldte Det europæiske Råd i Luxembourg for et fuldstændigt negativt møde og udtrykte be­kymring for fremtiden.
The Prime Minister of Ireland, Mr Haughey, in a statement to the Irish Parliament on the European Council, said that he regarded the outcome on the 'summit' with disappointment. He did not think anyone had gained.
Den irske premierminister Haughey skjulte ikke sin skuffelse efter fiaskoen for topmødet i Luxembourg, som ikke gavnede no­gen.
Describing the debacle of the meet ing of Heads of State or Government as a major setback for European integration, the Dutch Prime Minister, Mr Van Agt, spoke of a 'bad day'.
Charles Haughey erklærede i en kommentar over for det irske parlament til resultaterne af Rådet, at der var rettet et kraftigt stød mod fæl­lesskabsånden og institutionernes effektivitet.
He was all the more disappointed over the failure because what had been offered was surprisingly generous.
Efter et uformelt møde i Napoli den 17. og 18. maj vedtog de Ni's udenrigsmi­nistre en ny erklæring vedrørende Iran 9).
But he had not given up all hope when he said that the situation could still be saved.
Navnlig påpegede han, at medlemsstaterne ikke bør søge separatløsninger på det nationale plan.
Nor did Mr Van Agt seem to fear that the British would suspend their contributions or turn their backs on the process of Community decision-making if their budgetary demands were not entirely satisfied.
Da han kom ind på stats­ og regeringschefernes stilling til de internationale problemer, lagde Irlands premierminister vægt på nødvendigheden af under de nuværende omstændigheder at an­strenge sig for at bevare freden i verden.
From what Mrs Thatcher had said he did not believe that the British were contemplating such drastic steps.
På et uformelt møde den 10. april 1980 i Lissabon — i tilknytning til mødet i Europarådets Ministerudvalg, hvori de Ni's udenrigministre deltog — vedtog disse følgende erklæring vedrø­rende tilbageholdelsen af gidslerne i De forenede Staters ambassade i Teheran:
The Luxembourg Prime Minister, Mr Werner, felt more or less the same way as he spoke of a 'black day' for Europe that would be hard to get over without bitterness, his disappointment being so much keener in that the day before he had said that it was hard to imagine how the Community could afford failure after everything that had just been happening on the world scene.
»Udenrigsministrene for Det europæiske Fællesskabs ni medlemsstater gennemgik på et møde den 10. april i Lissabon situationen i forbindelse med den fortsatte tilbageholdelse af gidslerne i den amerikanske ambassa­
Mr Werner indicated that he had never expected such a turn of events, especially since the European Council had been carefully prepared by the Italian Presidency, and all the signs were that agreement was within their reach.
De vedtog at fremsætte følgende erklæring: ring:
They deeply regret that these resolutions have so far had no effect.
Under Europa-Parlamentets modeperiode fra den 14. til den 18. april fandt der en debat sted vedrørende problemerne i forbindelse med tilbageholdelsen af de amerikanske gidsler i Iran.
Earlier stands1by the Nine on the serious situation caused by the occupation of the US Embassy in Tehran, the detention of the hostages and subsequent events were followed by further statements, resolutions and decisions throughout April.
De gor desuden opmærksom på, at Sikkerhedsrådet den 13. januar 1980 vedtog et forslag til resolution, hvori det anføres, at tilbageholdelsen af gidslerne udgør en trussel mod freden, og hvori det anbefales at iværksætte sanktioner over for de iranske myndigheders utilstedelige fremfærd.
They also recall that on 13 January 1980 the Se curity Council voted on a draft resolution stating that the continued detention of the hostages was a threat to peace and approving the application of sanctions in view of the intolerable conduct of the Iranian authorities.
Kun nedlæggelse af veto fra et af Sikkerhedsrådets permanente medlemmer forhindrede dette forslag i al blive vedtaget.
Only a veto by one of the per manent members of the Security Council had prevented this resolution from being adopted.
