Det påhviler ¡sær Parla mentet, men også den Kommission, der efterfølger os, at sørge for. at dagens problemer ikke igen kommer til at overbebyrde Det europæiske Råd, så det kan få tid til at beskæftige sig med den politiske fremtid for den europæiske opbygning og ikke blot i denne forbindelse som i så mange andre skal tilrettelægge en mere eller mindre flot begravelseshøj tidelighed.
Because our institutions are still at an early stage of their development, the stage during which traditions and practices are evolved which will later acquire obligatory force. In this Europe in statu nascendi which still lacks traditions, the need to show respect for our institutions is greater than it will ever be.
Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne udtrykke min store bekymring over den forsinkelse, der er indtrådt i integrationsprocessen.
It is wrong to allow one's reactions to be governed exclusively by legalistic considerations.
Allerede nu forhindrer denne forsinkelse, at en klaring opnås, inden tiltrædelsesforhandlingerne er af sluttet (...).
When dealing with accountants who are far too concerned with the short term, due weight must also be given to a logic of longterm development.
truffet beslutning om udvidelsen? Er kompromiset om vin et endeligt kompromis?
What could be clearer?
Egon Klepsch (PPE/D) var for sin del forbavset over, at Det europæiske Råd i Dublin havde opdaget de integrerede middelhavsprogrammer, og beklagede, at det ikke havde truffet nogen beslutning om budgettet for 1985.
In the circumstances, which is the more extraordinary, the European Council's surprise or the reaction from the Greek Prime Minister?
Han så i »budgetdisciplinen« en lejlighed til klart at oplyse, at Parlamentet ikke var til sinds at se sin beføjelser begrænset.
The Council of Ministers is inviting you to a meeting before it fixes its frame of reference...
Ifølge Simone Veil (L/F) havde Dublin ikke behandlet det væsentlige — det vil sige de problemer, der er en betingelse for Europas fremtid, og som er genstand for beretningen fra Dooge-komiteen — og kun utilstrækkeligt behandlet de udestående sager: vinproduktionen, fiskeriet og udvidelsen.
Having received this invitation, ladies and gentlemen, why not start by working out your position on the basis of a proposal from the Commission, and then reply?
En identisk bebrejdelse blev udtrykt af Christian de la Malene (RDE/F), som fandt, at denne situation skyldtes dels den omstændighed, at Det europæiske Råd beskæftigede sig med spørgsmål, der ikke hørte under dets kompetence, og optrådte som appelinstans for Fællesskabets øvrige institutioner, og dels den holdning, der bestod i — af indenrigspolitiske grunde — at fremstille en fiasko som en succes.
Then, and only then, will the Council show whether it is preparing itself, or ready to prepare itself, for a real debate on Com munity priorities and the basis on which they should be translated into budget aggregates, or has made up its mind to ignore the powers of Parliament and treat this Assembly, which has been elected by universal suffrage, as a consultative body.
Vi, som er europæere, ved at Europa lommer til at betale hundrede gange så meget.
I am not in the process, Mr President, of pleading Mr Papandreou's case for him.
Men man må begynde med at have viljen til at yde ofrene. Det europæiske Råd synes ikke beredt dertil...«.
Moreover, let me make it absolutely clear that I disapprove of the linkage that he is seeking to establish between this issue and the subject of enlargement, just as I disapprove of the linkages of all sorts that the other governments make between the most diverse issues.
Denne tankegang blev videreudviklet af Olivier d'Ormesson (DR/F), som erklærede, at »der fandtes ingen økonomisk magt uden politisk kapacitet«, og at Fællesskabets overleven afhang af eksistensen af den fælles landbrugspolitik, og at Europas økonomiske opsving afhang af en kraftig fødselspolitik nord for Middelhavet. Altiero Spinelli (KOM/I) var forbløffet over den tid.
The further we depart from the institutional balance intended by the Treaty, the greater will be the risk of a drift away from the communautaire to the intergovernmental (the constant threat, our perennial enemy), a drift away from the solidarity of a de jure Community towards the unpromising ways of alliances and balances of power.
Det europæiske Råd havde taget til at behandle Doogeberetningen, og henstillede, at den mellemstatslige konference — som skal behandle og under tegne traktaten om Den europæiske Union — »tog sit udgangspunkt i ånden og metoden i det af Parlamentet udarbejdede forslag til traktat«.
This point, which some people may think I have put rather harshly, can serve to illustrate what I have to say on the second issue, Mr President.
Kun Sir Henry Plumb (DE/VK) gav udtryk for en positiv bedømmelse af Det europæiske Råd i
This is the subject of integrated Mediterranean programmes, which some people, even at a very high level, appear to have suddenly discovered in Dublin, although they have been mentioned for years in the communiqués issued after European Council meetings ...

Dublin på grund af identificeringen af de problemer, der stillede sig i vejen for udvidelsen, og beslutningen om at begrænse overproduktionen af vin.
Before concluding these brief comments on the European Council in Dublin, I should like to say a few words about the institutional question, and more particularly about the Dooge Committee ...
for delte ved at lægge sa meget større vægt pa kollegialitet og objektivitet.
As you will remember, I warmly welcomed the decision taken at Fontainebleau, ' and I have been even more delighted at the determination with which the Dooge Committee has seemed to be making progress these past few months.
Jeg vidste også. at vi skulle igennem nogle meget vanskelige perioder, og det sagde jeg.
I imagine that your Parliament, the European Parliament, will also have seen this as confirming the accuracy of the political intuition which prompted you to draw up and then adopt the draft Treaty on the European Union. 2
Men disse år blev værre, end jeg havde troet og frygtet.
It is my impression, ladies and gentlemen, that the period ahead is going to be one calling for a great deal of persistence and vigilance.
Mange gange måtte man spørge sig selv. om Fællesskabet ville blive fastholdt af den centrifugalkraft, som krisen havde udløst, og i den interne splittelse, som var blevet stadig dybere på grund af Rådet manglende evne til at handle; det kom så vidt. at en europæisk statsmand, endda ikke en af de ubetydeligste, sagde til mig. at han på sin side aldrig havde troet, at Fællesskabet kunne overleve denne dobbelte krise.
It will be for the Parliament in particular, but also for the incoming Commission, to ensure that the European Council's table does not once again become encumbered with the problems of the day, so that it will have time to give its attention to the political future of the construction of Europe, instead of preparing this scheme, like so many before it, for a first, second or third-class burial.
Mine damer og herrer, husk pa. hvordan omstændighederne var. da vores embedsperiode begyndte.
I have to say, Mr President, that I am extremely disturbed at the way in which the integration pro cess has been delayed.
Formanden for Det europæiske Råd.
These, then, are the main lessons that I draw from the European Council in Dublin.
Garret FitzGerald erklærede, at »der var problemer, men ingen hindringer for forhandlingerne« om udvidelsen. For så vidt angik »budgetdisciplinen«, konstaterede han, at Rådet nu var enedes om at møde Parlamentet, inden man fastsatte den årlige referenceramme.
There is an urgent need, in my view, for the European Council, which is an institution of great prestige, to resume its true mission, which is to provide the political driving force and to lay down general strategy.' with an opportunity to say loud and clear that it was not prepared to see its rights curtailed.
Med hensyn til Dooge-beretningen fandt han det rimeligt, at Rådet ikke havde truffet definitiv beslutning, thi der var tale om en foreløbig beretning, som kunne blive ændret og eventuelt blive gjort til genstand for en debat med Parlamentet.
Nor had it properly settled the outstanding issues: wine, fisheries and enlargement.
I 1981 svandt håbet om et genopsving i verdensøkonomien og gav plads for skuffelse og usikkerhed over for krisen og den stadigt stigende arbejsløshed.
Much the same criticism came from Mr Christian de la Malène (EDA/F), who held that the trouble stemmed firstly from the fact that the European Council was dealing with matters out side its province and was turning into a court of appeal for the other Community institutions, and secondly from the tend ency to dress up failures as successes for internal political reasons.
Alt for mange mennekser i Fællesskabet har maske glemt, at dette havde stået på i 13 ar.
The absence of results was a measure of the reluctance to pay the price.
For første gang i denne periode steg arbejdsløsheden, endda kun i Europa, ikke i De forenede Stater og ikke i de asiatiske lande.
The committed Europeans knew that Europe would pay a hundredfold. But they had to begin by consenting to sacrifices.
Og det vil fortsætte.
And this the European Council seemed unwilling to do.
Da denne nye fase af krisen begyndte, var Fællesskabet selv dybt splittet på grund af det budgetproblem, som Det forenede Kongerige havde givet anledning til.
Mr Olivier d'Ormesson (ER/F) enlarged on the same idea, declaring that there was no economic power without political capacity, that the Com munity's survival hung upon the common agricultural policy and that Europe's economic recovery was contingent upon a vigorous birthrate policy north of the Mediterranean.
I 1980. altså før vores embedsperiode begyndte, havde Rådet, som ikke var i stand til at opnå enighed om en varig løsning, henvendt sig til Kommissionen og den 30. maj 1980 — under dække af den afskvelige ting. man kalder mandatet — anmodet den om på ny at foretage en undersøgelse af alle de fælles politikker med henblik pa at undgå, at der igen opstod uacceptable situationer i lighed med dem. hvis eksistens Rådet faktisk havde anerkendt ved at tildele Det forenede Kongerige en såkaldt midlertidig lempelse al bidraget til budgettet.
Mr Altiero Spinelli (Com/l) was amazed at the time the European Council had allowed itself to review the Dooge Report and suggested that the intergovernmental conference which would have the task of negotiating and signing the Treaty of European Union should take its cue from the spirit and method of Parliament's draft Treaty.. Only Sir Henry Plumb (ED/UK) took a favourable view of the Dublin European Council on the grounds that it had identified the problems blocking enlargement and decided to limit overproduction of wine.
Efter forhandlingerne vedtog Parlamentet den kompromisændring, som var forelagt af Klaus Hänsch (D) på den socialistiske gruppes vegne, af Otto Habsburg (D) og Jean-Pierre Roux (F) på det europæiske folkepartis vegne (PPE) og af Derek Prag (UK) på de europæiske demokraters vegne (DE), og som gik ud på at erstatte fire forslag til beslutning med en ny tekst.
Mr Rudi Arndt (Soc/D) confessed to being perplexed about the outcome of the European Council as he asked three questions: Had any decision been taken on enlargement?
De to kriser — den økonomiske og den institutionelle — som således ramte Fællesskabet i begyndelsen af 1981. da vi tiltrådte, havde en gensidig forstærkende virkning.
In his reply the President of the Council, Dr FitzGerald, speaking on enlargement said 'there will be problems, but there is no
Selv i dag er der for mange, som foregiver, at de ikke er klar over. at Forbundsrepubikken Tysklands regering umiddelbart efter, at Det forenede Kongeriges regering havde frem sat sit krav. også krævede en ændring af sin fordelingsnøgle. nøgle.
Mr Egon Klepsch (EPP/D) expressed astonishment that the European Council had at long last discovered the IMPs and regretted that it had taken no decision on the 1985 budget.
Det er en begivenhed, som er værd at fremhæve.
Parliament obstacle to ... agreement'.
Under disse forhold har mine kolleger og jeg kæmpet på fire fronter.
On the matter of budgetary discipline, he announced that the Council had now agreed to meet Parliament each year before fixing the reference frame work.
Til trods for den krise. Fællesskabet har gennemgået, har vi været i stand til at udforme nye politikker, der får stadig større betydning.
As for the Dooge Report, he felt it was right for the Council not to have taken a final decision; the report was an interim one and there was still an opportunity for amendments and for a debate in Parliament.
Det er kun en begyndelse. Men De og vi har sammen lagt grundstenene.
about the fact—that we would be going through a very difficult period.
Vi har opnået, at Fællesskabets ressourcer er vokset, om end det ikke er nok til i det lange løb at sikre dets fortsatte finansiering. Det er ikke min fejl.
As it turned out, the last few years have been worse than I had ever thought possible.
Det måtte bevises i vanskelige tider og ikke blot i opgangstider.
Allow me to remind you, ladies and gentlemen, of the situation at the start of our term of office.
For det andet påtog vi os at løse budgetstriden, som lammede Fællesskabet mere og mere og lukkede af for enhver udsigt til udvidelse, og vi stod med ryggen mod muren, da den ene procent var oprbugt.
In 1981 hopes for world economic recovery were gradually giving way to a sense of disillusionment and anxiety in the face of the crisis and the rising level of unemployment.
For det tredje ville vi berede vejen for anden generations Europa, blandt andet ved at foreslå nye politikker, hvorved man kunne tage den teknologiske udfordring op og således medvirke til Europas økonomiske genrejsning.
There are too many people in the Community who have perhaps forgotten that this trend has been going on now for 13 years, and that this is the first time in that period that unemployment has gone up only in Europe—not in the United States, nor in the Asian countries.
Dette har. mine og herrer, som De ved, været hovedhjørnestenene i denne Kommissions indsats i de forløbne fire år.
At the end of the debate on the Dublin Summit Parliament adopted a compromise amendment tabled for the Socialist Group by Mr Klaus Hänsch (D), for the EPP Group by Mr Otto Habsburg (D) and Mr Jean-Pierre Roux (F) and for the European Democrats by Mr Derek Prag (UK), to replace four motions for resolutions by a new text.
Der er i dag mere end nogen sinde fremtid i Fællesskabet. Jeg tror, at europæerne i dag i højere grad end det måske var tilfældet i fremgangsårene værdsætter det, vi sammen har bygget op.
In this single resolution Parliament regretted that the European Council had not 'provided any new impetus for the construction of Europe through the adoption of longterm objectives corresponding to the hopes of the citizens of Europe'.
I dag gør de sig måske i højere grad klart, hvad de ville miste ved at undvære Fællesskabet, og hvad den indre splittelse indebærer af farer for Europas selvbestemmelse og dets muligheder for at bevare vor kultur i alle dens udtryksformer og fremfor alt for at forsvare vore frihedsrettigheder.
The House also regretted that the mandate for negotiations had not been finalized and reminded the European Council that 'the issues concerning budgetary discipline, and in particular the controlling of expenditure on agricultural surpluses, must be decided in common by both branches of the budget ary authority'.
Denne indsats er beskrevet i brochuren »En indsats for Europa« som De har modtaget her i formiddag, og som jeg har lagt navn til.
Faced with this new phase in the crisis, the Com munity itself was deeply divided by the budget problem raised by the United Kingdom.
Den er ikke ment hverken som en statusopgørelse eller som en udtømmende beretning; den skal blot give et tilbageblik på et forløb, henvise til fremskridt, der vel at mærke skal videreføres og konsolideres. Den skal skildre nogle vanskeligheder, som endnu ikke er overvundet.
In 1980—in other words, even before we took up our duties—the Council had failed to reach agreement on a lasting solution and had played the ball back into the Commission's court by calling on the Commission, on 30 May 1980—by the appalling device of the "mandate"—to re-examine all the Community's common policies "to prevent the recurrence of unacceptable situations", such as the Council had effectively acknowledged by granting the United Kingdom a "temporary" reduction in its contribution to the Community budget.
Hr. formand, det tilkommer ikke mig her ved udløbet af min tjenesteperiode at drage konklusioner for fremtiden. Måske gør jeg det senere.
On behalf of the Commission, President Thorn reported on the activities of the institution which he had headed for the past four years.
De mangler, der — for en udenforstående at se — findes i Fællesskabets beslutningsproces, har forsinket og ofte svækket betydningen af vore mest positive resultater. Der er hovedårsagen til, at meget er mislykkedes.
The two crises—the economic crisis and the institutional crisis—which the Community was thus going through when we took up our duties at the beginning of 1981 had a cumulative effect, with one crisis fuelling the other.
Det eneste, jeg i dag kan sige, er, hvorledes jeg betragter Fællesskabets nuværende situation her ved udløbet af fire vanskelige år.
'Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, On this last opportunity I shall have to speak to you, I should like to set out quite openly the main lessons I have learned from my four years as President of the Commission.
Kommissionen, hvis formand jeg har haft den store ære at være fra 1981 til 1985, havde betydelig større ambitioner på Fællesskabets vegne end de resultater, der rent faktisk er opnået. Ingen er vel i tvivl herom?
When I stood before the first directly elected European Parliament four years ago to present the Commission's programme, I realized that, as a representative of the smallest country in the Com munity, I could not count on the backing of massed ranks of supporters, but I have always thought that I could make up for this shortcoming by cultivating the virtues of collegiality and objectivity all the more.
Døm blot selv: det har krævet fire år og ti møder i Det europæiske Råd at nå frem til den, desværre temmelig midlertidige, løsning på det britiske budgetproblem, der allerede forelå i alle enkeltheder i 1979.
The deteriorating economic situation made all the national governments more sensitive to the profit-or-loss aspect of their countries' contributions to the Community budget—and, to be fair, this was true not just of the UK Government.
Det har været nødvendigt med seks år forhandlinger — og de er ikke afsluttet endnu — for at udarbejde et grundlag for forhandlingerne med Spanien og Portugal, og da denne proces var til ende, skulle det vise sig, at Rådet desværre
Too many people today still conveniently forget that, following the United Kingdom Government's request, the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany had likewise asked immediately for its contribution formula to be amended.
Dette var. hr. formand, grunden til. at jeg i forbindelse med højtideligholdelsen af 25-års dagen for undertegnelsen af Rom-traktaten foreslog, at der tages et initiativ, der for Europas anden generalion vil la samme betydning, som Messina-konferencen havde for den første.
At the same time, it was becoming more difficult to convince Member States absorbed by their differences and a Council paralysed by indecision that tackling the crisis would more than ever need a genuine collective determination to make the Community the privileged precinct for industrial, scientific and technological redeployment and restructuring policies on the basis of genuine Com munity solidarity.
Tanken om at afholde en sadan konference bør fastholdes. des.
In the circumstances, my colleagues and I were in fact battling away on four fronts.
Rådets manglende handlekraft har oven i købet bevirket, at Det europæiske Råd har fjernet sig fra den rolle, som det oprindelig tildelte sig selv. bestående i på mellemlang og lang sigt at give impulser og at styre udviklingen.
The Commission over which I have been privileged to preside from 1981 to 1985 had ambitions for the Community which were set much higher than the results we in fact obtained. That much is common knowledge.
Der er indledt en generel debat i Fællesskabet om disse spørgsmål som et resultat af Europa-Parlamentets initiativ på det institutionelle omrade.
It is not my fault, it is not yours, and it is not the fault of the Commission. We have made that point perfectly plain to the Council.
Det er således godtgjort, hr. formand, at et Fællesskab bestående af ti og snart tolv medlemsstater ikke kan og aldrig mere vil kunne administreres ud fra enstemmighedsprincippet — det siger jeg, fordi jeg har gjort erfaringen hermed — og da slet ikke et Fællesskab, der må kæmpe med mange komplicerede problemer, hvor enorme interesser står på spil.
It seems to me, Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, that the fact that we have managed to preserve and even develop the Community both internally and externally and enter into future commitments in such difficult circumstances is not necessarily a reflection of our own merits, but of the fact that the common European endeavour was necessary and has become an irreversible process.
Der skydes breche i selve fællesskabsbegrebet, hvis mindre betydningsfulde nationale interesser i alle forhold — jeg siger udtrykkeligt i alle forhold, fordi det i visse tilfælde er nødvendigt — kan gå forud for samtliges interesser.
The Com munity has now passed the acid test of survival in difficult circumstances, and not just at a time of economic growth.
Af det arbejde, der er indledt i forlængelse af Fontainebleau-topmødet, fremgår det, at der er bred enighed om de umiddelbare målsætninger for det europæiske samarbejde: afskaffelse af de indre grænser — det gik alle ind for — et ægte internt marked, en europæisk monetær identitet, en fælles udenrigspolitik...
We decided our aim would be to preserve and consolidate the acquis communautaire, even at the cost of radical reforms and new initiatives with the inherent danger of a head-on collision with established positions and vested interests, such as the CAP. Quite frankly, what we have done in difficult circumstances could have been done more easily a few years earlier.
Alt sammen mål sætninger, som flertallet af regeringerne — med mindre nuancer i detailspørgsmål — tilsyneladende går ind for.
Secondly, we set out to untangle the budget dispute which was gradually paralysing the Community and ruining any prospect of enlargement of the Community.
Det er bydende nødvendigt, at man atter holder sig traktatens ånd efterrettelig, når dens bogstav ikke længe re slår til.
And not only that—we had to do so with our backs to the wall at a time when the 1% VAT own resources had been exhausted.
De, der vil, at enstemmighedsprincippet skal gælde i alle forhold, er tilhængere af et samarbejde regeringerne imellem; de, der er tilhængere af et samarbejde regeringerne imellem — og så bør de sige det — er modstandere af Fællesskabet.
Finally, against the background of a fresh phase of enlargement and an awful economic situation, we have worked towards consolidating the specific identity of Europe in the world vis-à-vis Lomé and the North-South Dialogue, and in terms of our relations with the United States and Japan.
Det er under alle omstændigheder nødvendigt, men dog ikke længere tilstrækkeligt, at traktaterne overholdes nøje i lyset af de nye udfordringer, som Fællesskabet ma tage op.
Those are—as you know, ladies and gentlemen— the main elements which have guided the Com mission's activities over the past four years.
