Holdningen i værtslandet i tilfældet af kommunal valg er mindre afgørende; da valget pr. definition er knyttet til det geografiske område, der udgøres af kommunen, kan afgivelse af stemme ikke finde sted direkte i en ambassade eller et konsulat.
It goes without saying that the conditions discussed in connection with the right to vote apply afortiori to the right to stand for election.
Herefter arrangeres der ikke et udenlandsk valg på et andet lands område.
But one of them, the residence qualification, needs to be re-examined.
I praksis gives der mulighed for at stemme pr. korrespondance eller ved fuldmagt.
It is obvious that a candidate for election to a

lignende praksis, som fører til, at så godt som alle statsborgere med bopæl i udlandet udelukkes.
This then is a broad outline of rules which would allow voting rights to be granted in the country of residence, without contravening national political customs or awakening public hostility by introducing dramatic reforms.

aim is to avoid any radical change which might provoke resentment by remaining as faithful as possible to the national situation.
Tankerne i det følgende hviler på nedenstående treleddede forudsætning:
Conclusion: The dynamic of European elections
• Et initiativ på fællesskabsniveau til et instrument baseret på gensidighed mellem de tolv medlemsstater ter
With regard to the right to stand for election, it is essential to ensure that potential candidates can take part in the electoral campaign on equal terms.
Danmark, Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland, Irland, Nederlandene, Luxembourg og Portugal anerkender ikke, at deres statsborgere med fast bopæl i udlandet deltager i kommunalvalg.
This raises the problem of civil liberties, which are not always granted on an equal basis to nationals and foreigners, even when the latter are Community nationals.
• alle medlemsstaternes vedtagelse af denne retsakt akt
The residence qualification is not merely a problem with local elections.
• vedtagelse af de nødvendige grundlovsændringer i visse medlemsstater.
For European elections too the principle should be that all Community nationals can participate in the Member State of residence.
Det viser sig, at det kun er statsborgere fra to medlemsstater (Frankrig og Spanien), der uden begrænsning har bevaret retten til at stemme ved kommunalvalg.
For an election in the Community context, the idea that a Community national can vote in his country of nationality but not in his country of residence has been overtaken since he is in fact resident in the larger geographical entity in which the election is being held.
Omvendt er det kun Irland, Danmark og Nederlandene, der indrømmer udlændinge ret til deltagelse i kommunalvalg. Statsborgere fra de andre medlemsstater, som praktiserer den frie etableringsret i en anden medlemsstat, mister nødvendigvis retten til at deltage i kommunalvalg.
It is only logical, in the case of European elections, to grant the right to vote in the Member State of residence.
Uden enighed om disse tre punkter er det nemlig overilet at uddybe sagen yderligere. Men for at gøre analysen fuldstændig er det nødvendigt at præcisere de hovedpunkter, som kunne udgøre fundamentet i en eventuel retsakt, med henblik på at vise, at en realistisk løsning er mulig.
The central question is therefore the same as that raised for local elections: can a Community national vote in an election held in the Member State of residence?
Disse tanker bør under ingen omstændigheder betragtes som fuldstændige, men blot som holdepunkter til fremme af overvejelserne. serne.
It is natural to hope that the voting rights issue was discussed in less dramatic terms in the European context.
Man kan ganske vist i teorien forestille sig muligheden af dobbelt stemmeafgivning (f.eks. franskmænd i Nederlandene), men disse tilfælde er langt mindre talrige end dem, der fører til tab af stemmeretten (f.eks. portugisere i Frankrig).
The main liberties involved are freedom of association, assembly and expression and the right to join a political party. These liberties would have to be extended to Community nationals as soon as they acquired the right to stand for election.
Dette er et af de problemer, som nødvendigvis må løses, for at stemmeretten i den medlemsstat, hvor man har bopæl, anerkendes på fællesskabsplan til fordel for borgerne i alle medlemsstaterne.
Care would obviously have to be taken to ensure that this did not lead to the creation of ethnic parties, undermining integration, the ultimate aim. Unless these liberties were extended Community nationals would be prevented from participating in the electoral debate on equal terms, thus interfering with exercise of the right.
Der er visse fælles principper, der bør defineres med henblik på at sikre ensartede betingelser for udøvelsen af den kommunale valgret i bopælslandet. det.
This would be tantamount to recognizing a right in principle, but failing to grant the rights essential for its exercise.
En ret, men Ikke en pligt
No solution for the 1984 elections
IV — Fælles træk i den kommunale valgret
Access to public office should not be included in the same category of rights.
Hidtil er det kun de grundlæggende principper, der har været analyseret. Det ville være en fejlagtig betragtning, at hvis der blev truffet en beslutning om disse principper, så ville det være tilstrækkeligt til at indrømme kommunal stemmeret til alle statsborgere i medlemsstaterne.
Although no deadline had been fixed either in the Treaty or in the Brussels Act of 1976, many parliamentarians considered that a uniform procedure should be used for the June 1984 elections to complete the transformation process.
Det er snarere et spørgsmål om nødvendige forudsætninger for at muliggøre en fastsættelse af fælles principper for stemmeretten i bopælslandet.
As Professor Boulouis comments, introduction of a uniform procedure was at least as important as the initial decision to elect the European Parliament by direct universal suffrage since it would mean 'a change over from representation of the people of the States to representation of the people of the Community'.1
Det ville være vanskeligt at forsøge at gå ud over dette punkt, fordi fastsættelsen af de kriterier, der muliggør denne analyse, kunne udgøre en yderligere kilde til problemer.
As emphasized in the report of the Adonnino Committee, specific solutions should be sought for Member States faced with particular difficulties because they have a large population of Community nationals.
Det lønner sig bedre at afgrænse sit mål klart for således effektivt at kunne udnytte de pågældende principper, snarere end at
This could be avoided, where necessary, by imposing a stricter residence requirement initially, and then aligning gradually on the common standard.
nalvalg i bopælslandet kun kan indrømmes, hvis borgeren anmoder derom.
The move to the European arena was not enough to tip the scales in favour of the residence qualification.
formulere maksimalistiske tanker, som kun tjener til at gøre disse tanker utroværdige.
A fundamental point of this uniform electoral procedure was to establish how to involve Community nationals who had been disenfranchised by virtue of residing in a Member State other than their own.
Analysen bør altså begrænses strengt til det kommunale niveau.
There were two possible approaches: to grant the right to vote in the country of nationality (as France did), or to grant the right to vote in the country of residence (as Ireland did).
Enhver valgret forudsætter, at et vist antal betingelser skal være opfyldt, for at en borger kan være vælger.
This issue proved to be central to discussions within Parliament and the Council. The analogy with the local elections debate is striking.
Når det drejer sig om statsborgere fra andre medlemslande, bør visse betingelser være identiske med dem, der kræves af landets egne borgere, andre bør være specifikke.
It must be acknowledged that the difficulties encountered make it abundantly clear that this is a question of principle which is presented in precisely the same political terms in several Member States.
Der melder sig også det spørgsmål, om der skal indføres valgbarhed og valgret samtidig eller i to tempi.
Reluctance on this score should make us think hard about the timing of an initiative on the adoption of identical criteria for local elections.
Der er næppe tvivl om, at der her er tale om to aspekter af den samme ret.
Is it politically consistent in fact to propose giving local elections a European character not enjoyed by the European elections themselves?
Der er lige så lidt tvivl om, at mange af vilkårene for udøvelsen af denne ret er fælles.
Would not political logic and the consistency of the European venture argue in favour of the first step being to give a European character to the elections which are intrinsically European?
Men selv om man finder en løsning på alle problemerne for indførelsen af valgbarheden, bliver valgretten ikke uden videre mulig af den grund.
There is an undeniable link between these questions. It is in this spirit that Mr Karl-Heinz Narjes, a Member of the Commission, speaking to the debate on local voting rights in Parliament on 7 June 1983 said: 'It has to be admitted that a universally applicable electoral system would have made it easier to decide whether the moment was opportune for extending electoral rights in communal elections'.3
Identiske betingelser
The need for political consensus
Det drejer sig hovedsagelig om valgretsalderen.
The European Parliament elected in 1984 continued to be aware of the need for progress on a uniform electoral procedure.
Det ville i denne forbindelse være uhensigtsmæssigt at vedtage en regel, der afviger fra den, der anvendes i det land, som afholder valget.
On both the right to vote and the right to stand for election, the new proposals represent a retreat from the 1982 proposals in that they come down on the side of the nationality rather than the residence qualification.
Desuden fører den store overensstemmelse ( 18-19 år) til en vedtagelse af reglen om henvisning til den nationale lovgivning. På denne måde ville der ikke kunne opstå situationer, hvor en statsborger fra en anden med lemsstat ville kunne afgive stemme på et tidligere tidspunkt end en statsborger i landet, eller om vendt.
The draft produced by the Political Affairs Committee advocates the right to vote and the right to stand in the country of nationality (Articles 2 and 3) whereas in 1982 the right to vote in the country of residence was favoured.
Ganske vist har de erfaringer, der allerede er gjort i visse medlemsstater, vist, at de to aspekter altid har været sammenkædet hvorved rækkevidden af reformen er kommet klarere til udtryk.
The rapporteur proposed that the right to vote should be granted in the country of nationality to voters who had not been resident for five years in another Member State and in the country of residence once this period of residence exceeded five years.
I virkeligheden taler logikken og sammenhængen til fordel for en tilkendelse af valgbar hed og valgret på én gang.
The right to stand for election is guaranteed but in the country of nationality only.
Men det er ikke udeluk ket, at der vedtages en fremgangsmåde i to tempi med henblik på en gradvis løsning af problemerne.
These proposals may appear modest' but they are realistic and consistent to the extent (a) that they endorse the principle of universal suffrage irrespective of place of residence within the Community and (b) that they tend to make place of residence within the Community the determining factor for the exercise of voting rights.
Det er endnu et eksempel på, at en fremgangsmåde i to tempi frem for alt ville være inspireret af hensynet til realisme.
However, subsequent amendments overturned these proposals.
Alligevel bør man ikke tage fejl af risikoen for, at anden fase måske ikke indledes.
Adoption of an amendment tabled by the European Democratic Group recognized the right to vote irrespective of place of residence, but the right had to be exercised in the country of nationality (Article 5).
Kun hvis valgbarheden ikke indføres, er det berettiget ikke at tage valgretten op til drøftelse.
On the other hand adoption of an amendment from the Socialist Group recognized the right to stand for election in the country of residence after a minimum period of five years (Article 6).2 Not only was the logic of the rapporteur's system destroyed but the end result was inconsistent since individuals could stand for election in a country in which they could not vote.
Begrebet fortabelse af de borgerlige rettigheder bør være det samme som det, der gælder i det land, som afholder valget. Det vil ikke være normalt at have valgret, hvis en statsborger i landet ikke ville kunne udøve den under de samme betingelser.

Dette fundamentale princip lægger ikke alvorlige hindringer i vejen for udøvelsen af denne ret.
Discussions within the Council centred on the same points and revealed similar differences of opinion.
Hertil ville det være tilstrækkeligt at fastsætte i bestemmelserne, at retten til deltagelse i kommu
The gulf between countries in favour of the nationality qualification and countries in favour of the residence qualification proved so wide that no solution could be found.
Der kan lægges to synsvinkler til grund for fast sættelsen af varigheden af denne forbliven:
The effect was to disenfranchise nationals of Member States who do not of 22 March 1985, page 8.
• en minimal varighed af personens forbliven i medlemsstaten uden anden nærmere bestemmelse
Even the Committee on Legal Affairs and Citizens' Rights noted in its opinion that the right to vote in the country of residence was merely an ideal and that it would be difficult for the moment to depart from the nationality criterion.' political and legal difficulties do not justify abandoning this idea which could demonstrate to the man in the street that the Community is relevant and give voters identical rights irrespective of their place of residence.
• en vis varighed af hans/hendes forbliven i den pågældende kommune.
This leaves the question of the legal instrument to be used completely open.
Denne forbliven bør være af uafbrudt varig hed.
If this is so, there are implications for local voting rights.
Uden at tage stilling til, om det er hensigtsmæssigt at indrømme denne ret samtidig med eller efter valgbarhedsretten, bør man alligevel undersøge de betingelser, som bør opfyldes med henblik herpå.
If there is no political will to extend voting rights for European elections there is even less chance of concessions for local elections.
Med hensyn til varigheden er der mulighed for flere løsninger.
However, on an issue of this kind, it is essential to establish that a political will does exist.
Det siger sig selv, at betingelserne for tilkendelsen af valgbarheden gælder så meget desto mere for valgretten.
Once a European electoral procedure is adopted, local electoral law could develop on a reciprocal basis.
En af disse betingelser underkastes en fornyet undersøgelse·, den minimale varighed af en persons forbliven.
The additional adjustments which would be necessary would ensure that the process of change was not too dramatic.
Denne minimale varighed af en persons forbliven bør være det dobbelte af det, der kræves for indrømmelse af valgbarheden.
There is no point in making a proposal on local elections in the absence of political will.
Dette betyder sammenlignet med national praksis, en kommunalbestyrelses dobbelte funktionsperiode plus et år.
Parliament could demonstrate its views by committing itself to the principle in the context of European elections under the procedure provided for by Article 138 EEC.
På denne måde vil enhver kommende folkevalgt kunne sætte sig ind i det arbejde, der udføres af kommu nalbestyrelsen i to perioder.
This would imply substituting a fresh proposal for a uniform electoral procedure for the 1982 text unambiguously endorsing the residence criterion.
Desuden vil der, som for valgbarhedens vedkommende, etableres en di rekte tilknytning til politisk og administrativ praksis i medlemsstaterne.
Unless such a political signal is forthcoming, it would be unwise to embark on a venture for which there is no backing.
Såfremt visse medlemsstater bibeholder stemmeret ten for deres statsborgere med bopæl i udlandet, kunne man befrygte muligheden for dobbelt stemmeafgivning. Denne hindring ville kunne undgås ved at vedtage et princip om, at kun den kan være stemmeberettiget til kommunalvalg, som anmoder herom hos de kompetente myndigheder i opholdslandet.
Such a development would demonstrate better than any other that 'a People's Europe' is in the making.
Så snart en borger tager et sådant initiativ, betyder det automatisk, at han accepterer alle valgforpligtel
