valuta, sker på basis af to beretninger, som først og fremmest analyserer, om kriterierne er opfyldt.
in the composition of Heads of State or Government and acting on the basis of the recommendations and reports submitted to it, will confirm by qualified majority which Member States fulfil the conditions necessary for the adoption of a single currency (see Section 3.2.1.Β — Article 109j(4)).
Opfyldelsen af disse kriterier har imidlertid ikke nogen automatisk konse­kvens.
Those Member States not fulfilling those conditions will then be regarded automatically as Member States with a derogation.
Beslutningen om at overgå til ØMU'ens endelige fase træffes af Rådet med kvalificeret flertal. Beslutningen forudsætter, at flertallet af staterne opfylder betingelserne for indførelse af en fælles valuta.
The effect of granting a derogation to a Member State will be, firstly, that the Member State concerned will not participate in appointing the President, the Vice-President and the other members of the Executive Board of the ECB and, secondly, that a number of provisions applying to Member States participating in the third stage will not apply to it.
På den måde forhindrer man, at der træffes beslutning om overgang, hvis kun et fåtal af staterne opfylder betingelserne, og man forhindrer, at de få stater, der måtte opfylde betingelserne, bliver enige om en sådan beslutning på regerings­plan, således som det på et tidspunkt blev foreslået.
The arrangements to which Member States with a derogation will be subject are, in fact, based on those applying to all Member States during the second stage of EMU (see point 4.2 below).126 However, additional disciplinary elements have been incorporated; further­more, the central banks of those Member States are linked to the ESCB and the ECB.
På regeringskonferencen overvejede man længe, om beslutningen om overgang til tredje fase skulle ligge i Det Europæiske Råd i betragtning af beslutningens vigtighed og dens historiske betydning.
Almost all the provisions constituting the economic aspect of the union will apply to Member States with a derogation.
Der er her tale om en enestående procedure i traktaten (det er det eneste tilfælde, hvor Rådets sammensætning er specificeret), hvilket retfærdiggøres af, at også selve beslutningen må siges at være særdeles enestående.
The only exception concerns the case where the Council considers there to be an excessive government deficit: in such a case, the Council will not be able to take measures relating to the Member State in question which go beyond making its recommendations public.
D — Troværdighed og uigenkaldelighed
Β — Monetary aspect of EMU
At sikre troværdigheden og det uigenkaldelige i gennemførelsen af ØMU'en blev betrag­tet som afgørende. Det er i lyset heraf, at fastsættelsen af en tidsfrist skal ses.
The central banks of Member States with a derogation 'shall retain their powers in the field of monetary policy according to national law' (Article 43.2. of the ESCB Statute).
Uigenkaldeligheden skulle være sikret, selv om finansministrene har accepteret princippet om frivillighed i deltagelsen af tredje fase. Der er nemlig tale om en kombination af følgende omstændigheder: ØMU'ens endelige fase indledes i alle tilfælde på den fastsatte dato; princippet om frivillighed i deltagelsen i tredje fase er begrænset til de stater, der ved traktatens underskrivelse har erklæret, at de vil benytte sig af denne frivillighed (jf. nedenfor om protokollerne vedrørende Storbritannien og Danmark); bred enighed blandt medlemsstaterne om en protokol, der fastslår, at Unionens overgang til tredje fase er uigenkaldelig ').
However, given the temporary nature of these derogations and the intention on the part of the Member States concerned to fulfil as quickly as possible the conditions enabling them to move to the third stage, certain obligations will be imposed on them: to respect the independence of the ECB; to check that their national legislation is compatible with the provisions of the Treaty and of the Statute of the ESCB, and in particular to guarantee the independence of their central banks; to consult the ECB on any draft legislation in fields for which the ECB is responsible; to participate in the collection of statistical data.
') Protokol om overgangen til tredje fase af ØMU'en, bilagt traktaten.
1 This involves in particular the possibility of a Member State invoking former Articles 108 and 109 (incorporated into Articles 109h and 109i) in the event of its experiencing difficulties or being seriously threatened with difficulties as regards its balance of payments.
Når man har indført faste kriterier for konvergens og en forholdsvis kort tidsfrist for overgang til den endelige fase, er det sandsynligt, at nogle stater ved fristens udløb ikke er i stand til at opfylde betingelserne for indførelsen af en fælles valuta.
The General Council will comprise the President and Vice-President of the ECB and the Governors of the central banks of all the Member States. The other members of the Executive Board will be able to participate, without having the right to vote, in meetings (Article 45 of the ESCB Statute).
Disse stater, som midlertidigt ikke deltager i den tredje fase, kaldes »medlemsstater med dispensation«.
The General Council will be chaired by the President of the ECB (Article 46.1. of the ESCB Statute).
Den procedure, hvorefter Rådet afgør om en stat skal have dispensation, er beskrevet i traktatens artikel 109 K.
The General Council is to be informed by the President of the ECB of decisions taken by the Governing Council.
Proceduren afhænger af, hvordan datoen for overgangen til tredje fase fastsættes:
The provisions relating to exchangerate policy (see Section 2.2.3 — Article 109) will not apply to Member States with a derogation; those Member States will not therefore participate — which is logical — in determining the European Union's exchangerate policy.
A — Rådet fastsætter overgangsdatoen
However, two points should be noted in this connection:
Når overgangsdatoen er fastsat af Rådet, beslutter Rådet, om der er stater, og i bekræf­tende fald hvilke, der skal have status som medlemsstat med dispensation.
(i) Member States with a derogation will have to treat their exchangerate policies as a matter of common interest.
Beslutningen sker ud fra de henstillinger, der forelå ved Rådets første analyse uf­ ovenfor, punkt 3.2.1.A — artikel 109 J, stk. 2).
In so doing, they will have to take account of the experience acquired through cooperation within the framework of the EMS and in developing the ecu (Article 109m, which incorporates the principles laid down in former Articles 102a and 107);
De stater, der ikke opfylder disse betingelser, betragtes automatisk som medlemsstater med dispensation.
(ii) the tasks entrusted to the General Council (see above) include supervision of the EMS.
Betegnelsen stat med dispensation indebærer på den ene side, at staten ikke deltager i valget af formand, næstformand og de andre medlemmer af direktionen for ECB, og på den anden side, at staten ikke er underlagt en række beslutninger, som vedrører de stater, der deltager i tredje fase.
The EC Treaty (Article 109k(2)) stipulates that, at least once every two years, or at the request of a Member State with a derogation, the Commission and the ECB must report to the Council in the same way as under the procedure for setting the date for the move to the third stage.
Der er dog pålagt dem visse yderligere forpligtelser; endvidere skal disse landes centralbanker være associerede medlemmer af ESCB og ECB.
After consulting the European Parliament and after discussion in the
A — Vedrørende Den Økonomiske Union
Council, meeting in the composition of the Heads of State or Government, the Council, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, will abrogate the derogations of those Member States which fulfil the required conditions.
Reglerne for den økonomiske del af Unionen gælder næsten alle ligeledes for stater med dispensation. Den eneste undtagelse er det tilfælde, at Rådet finder det offentlige under­skud uforholdsmæssigt stort: i så fald har Rådet ikke andre muligheder for påvirkning end at offentliggøre sine anbefalinger.
The identical nature of the criteria and the procedural similarity between, on the one hand, the initial decision to move to the third stage and, on the other, the abrogation of the derogations granted to certain Member States and the decision to permit them to join those Member States already participating in the third stage were considered to be essential in order to prevent any discrimination against those Member States which failed to fulfil the required conditions at the time the decision to move to the third stage was taken.127
Centralbankerne i stater med dispensation »bevarer deres beføjelser på den monetære politiks område« i overensstemmelse med deres nationale lovgivning (artikel 43, stk. 2, i ESCB­statutten).
Problem of the exemptions: Protocols on the United Kingdom and Denmark
Men hvis man imidlertid går ud fra, at disse undtagelser er af midlertidig karakter, og at de pågældende stater ønsker så hurtigt som muligt at opfylde betingelserne for at komme med i tredje fase, skal de:
Even before the Intergovernmental Conferences opened, the United Kingdom indicated clearly that there could be no question, at that stage, of its committing itself definitively and irrevocably to entering the final stage of EMU.
— sørge for, at deres nationale lovgivning er i overensstemmelse med traktaten og med ESCB­statutten, og især at deres centralbank sikres uafhængighed
The United Kingdom Government's resistance stemmed from the fact that it could not accept the prospect of a single currency — because it entailed the abandonment of the United Kingdom's monetary sovereignty — without a specific decision being taken, at the appropriate time, by its government and parliament.
Derudover får stater med dispensation et samarbejde med ECB gennem et tredje beslut­tende organ, der dannes i ECB's regi, nemlig Det Generelle Råd (artikel 109 L, stk. 3).
This United Kingdom viewpoint was accepted by the Finance Ministers when they agreed that the procedure for the move to the final stage should be governed in particular by the 'no coercion' principle.
— at udføre »de opgaver, der lå i Det Europæiske Monetære Institut (jf· nedenfor, punkt 4.2.3.B), og som på grund af dispensation til et eller flere medlemmer stadig skal udføres i tredje fase«
The consternation caused by such clauses was understandable since they would ultimately have had the effect of undermining the commitment to achieving EMU, to which all the Member States would normally have subscribed by ratifying the Treaty.
— at medvirke ved udførelsen af ECB's rådgivende opgaver
The credibility of the project was therefore jeopardized.
— »at yde rådgivning i forbindelse med forberedelsen af ophævelsen af dispensationer«
After these two clauses had been tabled, Denmark also sought not to commit itself definitively to moving to the third stage of EMU.
— at medvirke ved »de nødvendige forberedelser med henblik på den uigenkaldelige fastlåsning af vekselkurserne for valutaerne i medlemsstater med dispensation over for valutaerne eller den fælles valuta i de medlemsstater, der ikke har dispensation«.
'" It was feared by some that stricter conditions would be applied to these Member States than to those forming part of the 'first wave'.
Den fælles valutakurspolitik gælder ikke for stater med dispensation (jf. ovenfor, punkt 2.2.3, artikel 109); disse lande har naturligvis heller ingen indflydelse på beslutningerne vedrørende den fælles valutakurspolitik.
The solution finally adopted was that of annexing to the Treaty two protocols — one concerning the United Kingdom and the other Denmark — setting out the arrangements to which those two countries are subject.
— Stater med dispensation skal betragte deres valutakurspolitik som et spørgsmål af fælles interesse. De skal i denne forbindelse tage hensyn til erfaringerne fra samarbejdet i EMS'en og udviklingen af ecuen (artikel 109 M har overtaget principperne fra de tidligere artikler 102 A og 107).
In this Protocol, the 12 Member States of the European Union recognize that, notwith­standing the fact that it has ratified the Treaty, the United Kingdom 'shall not be obliged or committed to move to the third stage of economic and monetary union without a separate decision to do so by its government and parliament' (first recital to the Proto­col).
Ifølge traktaten (artikel 109 K, stk. 2) aflægger Kommissionen og ECB mindst en gang hvert andet år, eller på anmodning af en medlemsstat med dispensation, beretning til Rådet efter samme fremgangsmåde som ved fastsættelse af datoen for overgangen til tredje fase.
If such is not its intention but if it subsequently changes its mind, it may at any time notify the Council of its intention to move to the third stage. Once such notification is given, it will no longer be possible for it to go back on its decision.
Efter høring af Europa-Parlamentet og efter drøftelse i Rådet i dets sammensætning af stats- eller regeringschefer ophæver Rådet med kvalificeret flertal dispensationen for de lande, der opfylder betingelserne.
The United Kingdom's possible participation in the third stage will then be decided by the Council, either under the procedure for the automatic setting of the date of the start of the third stage (see Section 3.2.l.B) or under the procedure for abrogating derogations (see Section 3.3.3).
For at undgå forskelsbehandling af de stater, som ikke opfylder betingelserne for at deltage i tredje fase på tidspunktet for beslutning om overgang hertil, blev det anset for absolut nødvendigt at gøre proceduren og kriterierne for ophævelse af dispensationen og indlemmelse i kredsen af deltagerstater i tredje fase nøjagtig mage til proceduren og kriterierne for den oprindelige beslutning om overgang til tredje fase ')·
The Protocol also lays down the arrangements that are to apply to the United Kingdom if it notifies the Council that it does not intend to move to the third stage of EMU and as long as it does not participate in that stage (point 2 and end of point 10 of the Protocol).
Allerede før åbningen af regeringskonferencerne havde Det Forenede Kongerige tydeligt erklæret, at der ikke kunne blive tale om på daværende tidspunkt at forpligte Det Forenede Kongerige til definitivt og uigenkaldeligt at deltage i ØMU'ens endelige fase. Den engelske regerings begrundelse for modstanden var, at overgangen til en fælles valuta var en afgivelse af suverænitet på det monetære område, hvilket ikke kunne accepteres uden en særlig beslutning i den engelske regering og Parlamentet til den tid.
Unlike all the other Member States, the United Kingdom will be able to derogate from the principle prohibiting monetary financing (see Section 2.1.2.A).
Dette synspunkt fra engelsk side blev imødekommet af finansministrene ved at gøre over gangen til den endelige fase frivillig (»no coercion«).
In the economic sphere, the United Kingdom will be able to continue to derogate from the rule prohibiting monetary financing (see above).
Senere under regeringskonferencen blev det nævnt, at man kunne løse dette problem ved enten at vedtage en generel klausul (altså en bestemmelse, der gjaldt alle unionslandene) om frit valg, »opting IN«, således, at de lande, der ønskede det, kunne vente med at træffe beslutning im deltagelse i ØMU'ens tredje fase til overgangsdatoen var vedtaget, og de i øvrigt opfyldte betingelserne, eller ved at vedtage en generel »opting out«­klausul, der gav mulighed for, at de lande, der ved ratificering af traktaten ikke ønskede samtidigt at binde sig til deltagelse i tredje fase, var stillet frit.
In the monetary sphere, the United Kingdom retains its powers according to national law (point 4 of the Protocol); consequently, it will not be bound by the provisions constituting the monetary aspect of EMU and will not participate in decisions in this sphere. However, the Bank of England will participate in the collection of statistical information, and its Governor will be a member of the General Council of the ECB.
Projektets troværdighed stod på spil.
At the time of the move to the third stage
Efter at de to klausuler blev lagt frem, bad også Danmark om at blive fri for forpligtelsen til definitivt at gå over til ØMU'ens tredje fase.
As indicated (see Section 3.2.1.A), when the Council has to decide whether a majority of Member States fulfil the conditions necessary for the adoption of a single currency, the United Kingdom will not be included in that majority, even if it fulfils those conditions (point 3 of the Protocol).
Det endte med, at man blev enige om at vedlægge to protokoller til traktaten, den ene om Det Forenede Kongerige, den anden om Danmark, med præcisering af, hvilke regler der skulle gælde for disse to lande.
As in the case of Member States with a derogation, it will not participate in the appointment of the President, the Vice-President and the other members of the Executive Board of the ECB (point 7 of the Protocol).
I denne protokol anerkender de tolv unionsmedlemmer, at selv om Det Forenede Konge­rige ratificerer traktaten, er »Det Forenede Kongerige ikke forpligtet eller bundet til at gå over til tredje fase af Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union, uden at dets regering og parlament har truffet særskilt beslutning derom« (protokollens første betragtning).
Unlike the United Kingdom, it was not ideological concerns but constitutional considerations which caused Denmark not to wish to commit itself from the outset to participating in the third stage: 'the Danish Constitution contains provisions which may imply a referendum in Denmark prior to Danish participation in the third stage of economic and monetary union' (second recital to the Protocol).
Før Rådet indleder vurderingerne i forbindelse med fremgangsmåden for fastsættelse af datoen for overgang til tredje fase inden den 1. januar 1997 (jf. ovenfor, punkt 3.2.1.A), skal Det Forenede Kongerige i henhold til protokollen meddele Rådet, om det agter at gå over til tredje fase.
The Protocol on Denmark is drawn up in much simpler terms than that applicable to the United Kingdom. It contains the following principles.
Hvis Det Forenede Kongerige ikke ønsker at gå over til tredje fase på det tidspunkt, men senere skifter mening, kan det til enhver tid give meddelelse om sin beslutning om at deltage i tredje fase. Når denne meddelelse er givet, kan beslutningen ikke omgøres.
(i) As in the case of the United Kingdom, the Danish Government is required to notify the Council of its position concerning participation in the third stage before the Council makes an initial assessment under the procedure which should enable it to decide before 1 January 1997 on the date of the move to the final stage of EMU.
Det Forenede Kongeriges eventuelle deltagelse i tredje fase besluttes så af Rådet, enten i henhold til proceduren for den automatiske fastsættelse af overgangsdatoen til tredje fase Üf. ovenfor, punkt 3.2.1.B) eller ved anvendelse af den procedure, der gælder for ophævelse af dispensation (jf. ovenfor, punkt 3.3.3).
While it is not expressly stipulated that Denmark may subsequently notify the Council of its intention to participate in the third stage, this has to be deduced from the fact that the Protocol spells out the procedure for terminating the special arrangements it lays down (same procedure as for abrogating a derogation — see Section 3.3.3) and states that this procedure may be initiated only at Denmark's request.
Β — Regler gældende for Det Forenede Kongerige
(ii) The arrangements applicable to Denmark — in the event of its notifying the Council that it will not participate in the third stage — are those applicable to a Member State with a derogation (see Section 3.3.2).
Derefter nævner protokollen de vilkår, der skal gælde for Det Forenede Kongerige, hvis det meddeler Rådet, at det ikke ønsker at deltage i ØMU'ens tredje fase, og så længe det ikke deltager i tredje fase (protokollens punkt 2 og 10 in fine).
The only special feature is that, like the United Kingdom, when the Council has to decide whether a majority of Member States fulfil the conditions required for the adoption of a single currency, Denmark will not be included in that majority even if it fulfils those conditions.
I modsætning til alle de andre medlemsstater er det tilladt Det Forenede Kongerige at afvige fra forbuddet mod monetær budgetfinansiering (jf· ovenfor, punkt 2.1.2.A). Den engelske regering kan altså beholde sine kreditfaciliteter (»Ways and Means«) hos Bank of England (protokollens punkt 11).
The difficulties over ratification of the Treaty in Denmark (negative result of the referendum held on 2 June 1992) led the Member States to seek a solution which would satisfy both Denmark and its 11 partners.
Det Forenede Kongerige kan fortsætte med at afvige fra princippet om forbud mod monetær finansiering af budgettet uf· ovenfor).
This decision sets out the following principles in particular:
Bank of England tager dog del i indsamlingen af statistisk materiale, og bankens chef er medlem af ECB's Generelle Råd.
(i) Denmark has given notification that it will not participate in the third stage (this notification took effect on the day the Maastricht Treaty came into force).
Som nævnt (ovenfor, punkt 3.2.1.A) medregnes Det Forenede Kongerige ikke, når Rådet skal afgøre, om flertallet af staterne opfylder betingelserne for indførelse af en fælles valuta, selv om Det Forenede Kongerige opfylder de stillede betingelser (punkt 3 i protokollen).
(ii) As a consequence, Denmark will not be bound by the rules concerning economic policy, which will apply only to Member States participating in the third stage of EMU, will not participate in the single currency and will retain its existing powers in the field of monetary policy.
Ligesom stater med dispensation deltager Det Forenede Kongerige ikke i udnævnelse af formand og næstformand for samt de øvrige medlemmer af ECB's direktion (punkt 7 i protokollen).
This is confirmation that the situation of Denmark will be similar to that of a Member State with a derogation.
I modsætning til Det Forenede Kongerige er det ikke ideologiske betænkeligheder, der ligger bag Danmarks ønske om ikke ab initio at binde sig til at deltage i tredje fase, men snarere forfatningsmæssige overvejelser: »Den danske grundlov indeholder bestemmelser, der kan indebære en folkeafstemning i Danmark forud for Danmarks deltagelse i tredje fase af Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union« (protokollens anden betragtning).
(iii) Denmark will participate fully in the second stage of EMU and will continue to participate in exchangerate cooperation within the EMS.
Protokollen om Danmark er formuleret meget mere enkelt end protokollen for Det Forenede Kongerige.
'" In addition to EMU, this decision covers citizenship, defence policy, justice and home affairs.
Den indeholder følgende principper:
See OJ C 348, 31.12.1992.
Det er ikke nævnt eksplicit, at Danmark på et senere tidspunkt kan udtrykke ønske om at deltage i tredje fase, men det må være underforstået, eftersom protokollen fastsætter regler for den procedure, der skal følges, når de særlige vilkår, Danmark har, skal ophæves (samme procedure som ved ophævelse af dispensationer — se ovenfor, punkt 3.3.3).
All the elements which together constitute the final stage of EMU have been described in the first two chapters of Part Two in order to provide an overall view. However, some of those elements already came into play in the first or second stage — stages which are designed, it will be remembered, to prepare for the final stage.
Det præciseres, at denne procedure kun kan indledes på Danmarks anmodning.
Those elements which have come into play in the first or second stage are indicated below but without their content being described in any greater detail.
— De regler, der gælder for Danmark, hvis det meddeler, at det ikke deltager i tredje fase, er de samme, som gælder for lande med dispensation (jf. ovenfor, punkt 3.3.2).
It should be noted, however, that, while they are intended to be achieved in three stages, the economic and monetary dimensions of the Union will not be implemented at the same speed.
