Lastly, the Bantry Bay explosion in Ireland and the natural disasters in the Ardèche prompted the House to call for Community action.
Europa­Parlamentet vedtog den 18. januar 1979 to beslutninger om henholdsvis respekten for menneskerettighederne i Iran og flygtningene fra Kampuchea, Laos og Vietnam2).
The President of the Council, Mr François-Poncet, presented the programme of the French presidency for the first half of this year.
— Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland = D — Frankrig = F — Irland = IRL — Italien = I — Luxembourg = L — Nederlandene = NL — Det forenede Kongerige = GB.
After highlighting the main items of interest for the months ahead—the election of Parliament, implementation of the Euro pean Monetary System (EMS) and enlargement—he reviewed the bones of con tention—adoption of the Community budget
Europa-Parlamentet langt man er kommet med arbejdet med henblik på at tildele Fællesskabets borgere særlige rettigheder; der blev endvidere givet udtryk for bekymring med hensyn til respek ten for menneskerettighederne i Iran samt med hensyn til flygtningerne fra Kampu chea, Laos og Vietnam, hvilket skete i to de måneder, valget til Europa-Parlamentet, indførelsen af Det europæiske monetære System (EMS) og Fællesskabets udvidelse; dernæst kom han ind på forskellige omstridte emner som f.eks vedtagelsen af Fællesskabets budget og afskaffelsen af de monetære udligningsbeløb.
Parliament the Community must give to the social dimension of its operations (measures for steelworkers, adjustments to working hours, etc); energy policy: 'if there's one area where the Community ought to have made progress over the last five years, that's the one'.

Socialist Group, Mr Fellermaier (D) said that though all the institutions must clearly sub mit to the Treaties, one of the goals enshrined in them was indeed to remove the imbalances existing within the Community, and this should not be forgotten.
På energiområdet beskæftigede man sig især med situationen inden for Fællesskabet og udviklingen af forskningsprogrammer vedrørende alternative energikilder.
He supported any improvements in the conciliation procedure in order to avoid conflict with the Council, which Parliament did not want, and felt that it was not possible to compromise on safeguards for the provisions of the Treaties or for Parliament's rights, which were restricted enough as it was.
Forskelli ge emner vedrørende socialpolitikken blev li geledes taget op til drøftelse, bl.a. harmoni sering af de sociale sikringsordninger, familie politikken, beskyttelse i forbindelse med svangerskab og fødsel samt beskyttelse af ar bejdstagerne i tilfælde af arbejdsgiverens manglende betalingsevne.
Concerning the role of the European Council, Mr Fellermaier stressed that its deliberations could not be above democratic control; a dialogue bet ween the European Council and Parliament was therefore necessary.

For Mr Klepsch (D), speaking on behalf of the Christian Democrats, Parliament's powers and its election by direct universal suf frage were a linked issue.
Endelig gik Parlamentet i forbindelse med katastrofen i Bantry-bugten i Irland og naturkatastroferne i Ardéche ind for en fællesskabsforanstaltning.
In an initial stage Parliament would have to use all the powers at its command and in a second stage would have to consider those sectors where the national parliaments had now lost certain powers, so that these could be recovered by the European Parliament.
Med hensyn til valget til Europa-Parlamentet sagde taleren, »at det valgte Parlament med fornyet kraft ville kunne udøve de beføjelser, der er det tillagt, samtidig med at det respekterer de øvrige fællesskabsinstitutioners og de nationale parlamenters forrettigheder«. »De mokratiet i Fællesskabet«, fortsatte han, »begrænser eller skader ikke deomokratiet i vore stater, men er tværtimod en forlængelse og en berigelse af dette demokrati«.
Mr Klepsch further emphasized the need to strengthen the Community's impact and, referring to the European Monetary System, he said that the problem of the monetary compensatory amounts was not exclusively a Franco-German affair but involved the entire Community.
Det franske formandskabs program (17. januar 1979)
Finally, the President spoke of the European Council meetings in Paris in March and Strasbourg in June.

lesskab, og endelig at virke som multiplikator for enkeltstaternes bestræbelser.
Speaking of the budget, Mr Pintat urged the Council President not to resort to transitional measures, since they might provoke a crisis in the Community, and this must be avoided at all costs on the eve of the direct elections.
Taleren fremhævede endvidere specielt den fælles fiskeripolitik.
On this point, Mr Pintat maintained that the compensatory amounts must go, since it was not possible to use or not use the ECU in a given sector as appeared expedient.
Rådets formand gjorde dernæst rede for, hvad Fællesskabet har i udsigt på de væsentligste områder aïforbindelserne med tredjelande: de:
He took the view that enlargement would be an opportunity to look in more detail at the institutional problems and was therefore con fidently awaiting the findings of the Three Wise Men.
• forhandlingerne vedrørende udvidelsen; herved kan »unge demokratier fortøjes til det europæiske demokrati«, men forhandlingerne må føres på en pragmatisk og realistisk måde;
Mr Pintat felt that the time had come to consider the idea of the Council becoming the executive, the Commission becoming the administration and Parliament becoming the legislature for all matters involving the Community.
• tilpasning af institutionerne og de tre vis mænds arbejde;
His final point was that foreign policies ought to be coordinated so as to advance the cause of a European confederation.
Striden mellem Parlamentet og Rådet på budgetområdet prægede i høj grad debatten.
On direct elections, Mr Sandri hoped that in the long term Parliament would emerge as a power centre transcending national frontiers, for universal suffrage was not the whole of democracy; democracy was also and above all participation in the process of lawgiving.
Fellermaier (D), der udtalte sig på den soci alistiske gruppes vegne, mente, at samtlige institutioner naturligvis skulle holde sig til traktaterne, men at en af målsætningerne i disse traktater netop var at formindske de eksisterende uligheder inden for Fællesskabet. Dette bør ikke glemmes, sagde taleren.
Speaking later in the debate, Mr Bordu (COMIY) criticized the programme of the French Presidency and by implication, the way the Community was now functioning, since the programme, as he saw it, was inspired by the resolve to advance, albeit stealthily, along the supranational path.
Han gik ind for, at der skulle ske en forbedring af samrådsproceduren, således at man kunne undgå enhver konflikt med Rådet, hvilket Parlamentet på ingen måde ønsker, men Fellermaier mente ikke, at man kunne gå på kompromis, når det drejede sig om at overholde traktaternes bestemmelser eller om at respektere Parlamentets beføjelser, der er begrænsede nok i forvejen. I forbindelse med Det europæiske Råds rolle understregede ordføreren for den socialistiske gruppe, at dettes forhandlinger ikke kunne unddrages demokratisk kontrol, hvorfor det blev nødvendigt med en dialog mellem Det euro pæiske Råd og Parlamentet.
Whereas the general trend was towards decentralization, the intention in Europe was to centralize decisions, which everyone knew were countersigned by the White House.
• forhandlingerne om Lomé II, der skulle afsluttes i løbet af første halvår;
For the Conservative Group, Mr Rippon (UK) endorsed the French position on the dismantling of monetary compensatory amounts.
• afslutningen af forhandlingerne i GATT; en forudsætning for at dette kan ske er, at »USA's kongres vedtager en entydig beslutning — hvilket forventes at ville ske i april — om at videreføre undtagelsesordningen med hensyn til udligningstold«.
On the matter of the budgetary procedure, he pointed out that the Treaties had been respected. During his speech Mr Rippon also pleaded for the liberalization of services and a common energy policy.
Klepsch (D), der tog ordet på den kristeligdemokratiske gruppes vegne, mente, at spørgsmålet om Europa-Parlamentets beføjelser hænger sammen med, at det vælges ved almindelige valg. I første omgang bør man udnytte samtlige de beføjelser, Parlamentet har, og derefter overveje, hvorvidt der er sektorer, hvor de nationale parlamenter fra nu af har mistet visse beføjelser, som således kan »opsamles« af Europa-Parlamentet.
The spokesman for the European Progressive Democrats, Mr de la Malène (F) showed a preference for practical policies rather than institutional debates, which were frequently nothing more than a front to hide the determination to do nothing tangible in areas such as energy, the aircraft industry or steel.
Taleren understregede, at der således ikke er tale om at fratage de nationale parlamenter deres
He made the following specific points on the general theme of how to remedy internal imbalances and avoid creating any new ones:
Afslutningsvis understregede François-Poncet det positive i det politiske samarbejde, men understregede, »at en fælles udenrigspolitik ikke lå lige om hjørnet« og at »den eneste mulighed var en pragmatisk holdning, da tvang ville såre den nationale selvstændig

sigt at samordne udenrigspolitikken for således at fremme »Den europæiske Konføderation,«. tion,«.
Fund, since the very purpose of the Fund was to mitigate internal imbalances;
Klepsch understregede videre, at det var nødvendigt at øge Fællesskabets betydning på det sociale område; han nævnte Det euro pæiske monetære System og sagde bl.a., at problemet med udligningsbeløbene ikke udelukkende var et fransk-tysk mellemværende, men at det vedrørte Fællesskabet som hel hed.
(iv) On the matter of conciliation, it was essential to adhere to the three-month time limit, but the final decision lay with the Council;
Rippon (GB) tilsluttede sig på den europæi ske konservative gruppes vegne den franske indstilling med hensyn til afskaffelsen af de monetære udligningsbeløb.
(iii) The EMS: the idea was sound, but we must beware that it did not lead to new imbalances;
Med hensyn til den anvendte budgetprocedure anførte tale ren, at den var forløbet i overensstemmelse med traktaterne.
(v) For the seat of the European Parliament, the rule still was that it had to be determined by the governments.
Rippon brød ligeledes en lanse til fordel for en liberalisering af tjenesteydelser og for en fælles energipolitik.
Before closing the debate, the President of Parliament, Mr Colombo, confirmed that the 1979 general budget had been finally adopted.
Man burde derfor efter hans opfattelse forbedre bestemmelser ne i Lomé-konventionen og nå til enighed forud for det kommende møde i UNCTAD, der afholdes i Manila.
(i) On the matters of substance, he noted the general support for establishing the Euro pean Monetary System and eliminating the compensatory amounts; there was also agree ment on the need to use the Regional Fund for the adjustments that were necessary (and all the more necessary because with exchange rates being fixed in the EMS it would no longer be possible to make certain adjustments); ments);
I virkeligheden er Parlamentets ønske om at øge Regionalfondens midler i overensstemmelse med Det europæiske Råds egen beslutning om at indføre Det europæiske monetære System.
A second report later will consider the sectoral aspects.
Derfor gik tale ren ind for, at udligningsbeløbene skulle fjernes, for man kan ikke efter forgodtbefindende anvende ECU'en inden for én sektor og ikke inden for andre.
The Resolution embodied in the report, which Parliament adopted, expressed its political will to see Greece, Portugal and Spain join the Community but pointed out that failure by any one of those States to uphold the principles of liberty and pluralist democracy would constitute incompatibility with membership of the Community.
Pintat mente, at udvidelsen ville være en passende lejlighed til at gå videre med de in stitutionelle problemer; han imødeså derfor også tillidsfuldt resultaterne af vismændenes arbejde.
(ii) On the budget issue, the President main tained his position to the effect that Parliament had employed a legal procedure which was not compatible with the Treaties.
Taleren mente, at øjeblikket nu var kommet til at overveje tanken om et eksekutivorgan, en administration og en lovgivende forsamling, der skulle være en videreudvikling af henholdsvis Rådet, Kommissionen og Europa-Parlamentet, og som skulle have beføjelser i spørgsmål vedrørende Fællesskabet som sådant.
The question was therefore, to his mind, still unsettled and agreement would have to be reached not only on the 1979 budget but also, for the future, how the controversial texts were to be interpreted.
Derefter tog Bordu (COM/F) ordet og kritiserede det franske formandskabs program og dermed den måde, hvorpå Fællesskabet fungerer for øjeblikket, idet han mente, at dette program var udtryk for et ønske om at fortsætte i retning af det supernationale, omend i tilsløret form.
Parliament trusted that the applicant countries would begin forthwith to adapt their policies and laws to those in force in the Community and insisted that the accession treaties contain an unequivocal undertaking by all the signatory States to defend and extend the existing achievements of the Com munity in their entirety.
Han mente endvidere, at Fællesskabet i stedet for at fremme oprettelsen af arbejdspladser gennem et produktionsopsving i nøjere grad tog hensyn til kapitalens ønske om profit.
Firmly convinced of the need for the Community to review its decision-making mechanisms, in particular to make broader use of the majority vote, the House urged the Council to define the areas of Community activity in which decisions should be taken by a majority.
Mens den almindelige tendens går i retning af decentralisering
In conclusion, it considered that 'the European Parliament
Endelig gav taleren udtryk for bekymring over Parlamentets overskridelse af sine budgetbeføjelser og over en eventuel ændring af reglen om en stemmighed.
Parliament should be consulted on all studies concerning the Community's decision-making processes with a view to enlargement'.
• med hensyn til budgettet fastholdt for manden det standpunkt, at Parlamentet havde anvendt en juridisk procedure, der ikke var i overensstemmelse med traktaterne.
vered an indictment of the enlargement which he saw as a massive operation to benefit multinationals.
Ordføreren for de europæiske fremskridtsdemokraters gruppe, De la Malene (F) sagde, at han foretrak konkrete politiske foranstaltninger frem for drøftelser af institutionelle spørgsmål, der ofte blot tjener som skalkeskjul for et ønske om ikke at foretage sig no get konkret på områder vedrørende f.eks. energi, luftfart eller stål.
Mr Bertrand (CD/B) and Mr Berkhouwer (L/NL) threw the wholehearted support of their Groups behind the proposed Resolution, maintaining that what was needed at this early stage was an expression of the resolve to enlarge the Community.
Han koncentrerede sin redegørelse om en række konkrete punkter, der blev set på baggrund af et gennem gående tema, der gik ud på, at man skulle afhjælpe de interne uligheder frem for at skabe nye uligheder; taleren kom ind på følgende punkter:
But Mr Dankert (5/NL) was very critical of the whole text save for the first paragraph, which expressed the 'political will to see Greece, Portugal and Spain join the Community' and announced that the Socialist Group would abstain from the vote.
• François-Poncet kom derefter ind på de institutionelle spørgsmål, og han forsøgte at afvise den kritik, som var blevet rejst mod Det europæiske Råd, der efter hans opfattelse havde ydet et positivt bidrag til opbygningen af Europa (direkte valg, EMS, Regionalfonden m.v.), og som i forbindelse med fællesskabsspørgsmål fungerer som fællesskabsinstitution (hvis forhandlinger Kommissionen i øvrigt overværer);
Speaking for the Commission, Vice-President Natali said that prior to enlargement, the Member States, in concertation with the Community, would have to conform to some economic discipline: cut inflation, combat unemployment, strengthen balance of pay ments positions and reduce regional disparities must be the targets. For its part, the Community would have to modify and extend its scope for action.
• den fælles landbrugspolitik: princippet i denne politik må for enhver pris forsvares; de monetære udligningsbeløb virker derimod ødelæggende for denne politik;
Of course the applicant countries would have to accept all that the Community had already achieved —Portugal had already formally stated that it did—the negotiations being concerned only with the length of the transitional periods.
• med hensyn til samrådsproceduren er det af væsentlig betydning, at fristen på tre må neder overholdes, men den endelige beslutning tilkommer dog Rådet;
In conclusion, Mr Natali welcomed the fact that, with the single exception of the spokesman for the French Communists, all had accepted the principle of the accession of the applicant countries.
• budgettet for 1979: der kan ikke være tale om at indgå et kompromis »på bekostning af Reginalfonden«, for denne har netop til for mål at afhjælpe de interne uligheder;
The spokesman for the Conservative Group, Mr Normanton (UK) said that the vital thing was to ensure the success of the enlargement by thorough preparation.
• EMS: ideen er god, men man skal passe på, at den ikke medfører nye uligheder;
This meant intensive cooperation beforehand embracing all the political forces and institutions of the applicant countries.
• med hensyn til Europa-Parlamentets hjemsted gælder det fortsat, at det fastsættes af medlemsstaternes regeringer.
Speaking for the European Progressive Democrats, Mr Krieg (F) told the House that enlargement would require improvements in the Community's power to make decisions, meaning a stronger role for the European Council.
Inden debatten afsluttedes, erklærede Parlamentets formand Colombo det almindelige budget for regnskabsåret 1979 for endelig vedtaget.
Here a process would need to be initiated which would enable a link to be forged between the European Council and the Community institutions.
Nye lande bør tiltræde, men på sådanne vilkår, at det ikke sker på bekostning af bestemte sektorer eller bestemte lande.
He pointed out that there would be no globalization in the negotiations and that the involve ment of the applicant countries in political cooperation would develop in parallel with progress in the negotiations.
Som afslutning på debatten og som svar til talerne fremsatte François-Poncet følgende bemærkninger:
The President of the Council also told the House that the negotiations with Greece should wind up by the end of March, in which case the Treaty could be signed in June.
Politiske og institutionelle aspekter ved udvidelsen (17. og 18. januar 1979)
Finally, he recalled that the Commission had been instructed to seek a common platform for the Nine for the negotiations with Spain (taking account, in particular, of the impact of Spain's accession on relations with the Maghreb, Mediterranean and ACP countries).
• han fastslog, at der, for så vidt angår realiteterne, var almindelig enighed om det hensigtsmæssige i at indføre Det europæiske monetære System og at afskaffe de monetære udligningsbeløb; der var ligeledes enighed
Mr Spinelli (COM/I) deplored certain gaps in the Resolution motion, such as the lack of any mention of what would have to be added to the Community's existing achievements to meet the radical change which enlargement would bring about.
Der vil senere blive forelagt en anden betænkning om de sektorbestemte as pekter.
Mr Scelba (C-D/I), Mr Bayerl (5/D) and others asked the Commission what prog ress had been made towards granting special rights to Community citizens.
I den forbindelse vil det blive nødvendigt at arbejde henimod oprettelse af forbindelser mellem dette Råd og fælles skabsinstitutionerne.
In its Opinion, Parliament proposed that if a request for prosecution against an infringement of Community law were transferred to another Member State, the penalties to be imposed should not be heavier than those applied in the same cases in the applicant Member State.
Spinelli (COM/l) beklagede, at der var visse mangler i forslaget til beslutningen; der stod således intet om, på hvilke punkter de gældende fællesskabsregler skulle udvides af hensyn til den dybtgående forandring, udvidelsen ville medføre.
The Commission representative, Mr Davignon, focused Parliament's attention on the predominant political aspects of the matter.
Var disse indlæg udtryk for en vis enighed, rettede Soury på de franske kommunisters vegne en skarp anklage mod udvidelsen, der blev betragtet som en kæmpemæssig transaktion til fordel for de multinationale selskaber.
On the subject of fundamental rights, the question of the Community's accession to the European Convention on Human Rights was still the object of a major debate.
