Tiden er nu inde til at tage sig denne politiske vilje til efterretning og føre den ud i livet.
It is now time to take account of the will of the Parliament and translate it into action.
Den aktuelle situation: Fremmede, fastboende eller europæiske borgere?
The current situation: foreigners, residents or European citizens?
Godt fem millioner borgere i Fællesskabet har ikke statsborgerskab i det land de bor i, men i et andet medlemsland.
Approximately five million Community citizens live in a member country of which they are not nationals.
I de fleste tilfælde er deres deltagelse i det politiske liv vanskelig — selv på kommunalt plan.
For the majority, this affects their participation in political life, even at local level.
D De kan ikke stemme i deres hjemland: belgiere, danskere, tyskere, irere, luxembourgere, portugisere og de fleste briter kan ikke stemme ved kommune­valg i deres hjemland.
D Can expatriate citizens vote in local elections in their country of origin?
Borgere fra fire lande kan derimod stemme i deres hjemland: Spaniere (der bor i et andet medlemsland) ved personligt fremmøde eller fuldmagt, samt grækere og italienere ved fremmøde på valgdagen.
This is not possible for Belgians, Danes, Germans, Irish, Luxembourgers, Dutch, Portuguese or most British.
Det siger sig selv, at de geografiske afstande begrænser udnyttelsen af valgretten.
Citizens of four Member States can participate in local elections in their district of origin: Spaniards may do so in person, by proxy or by postal vote; the French in person or by proxy; Greeks and Italians may do so only by returning home to vote — which, given the geographical restrictions, limits the effective exercise of the voting right.
Π De kan almindeligvis ikke stemme ved kommunevalg i den kommune, hvor de bor, fordi de er registrerede som udlændinge: Grundlovene i Belgien, Tyskland, Grækenland, Frankrig, Italien og Luxembourg forbeholder de politiske rettighe­der for statsborgere.
□ The right to vote for local government in one's area of residence is the one most often refused to people considered as foreigners.
Den spanske grundlov giver fastboende borgere fra andre fællesskabslande kommunal valgret, såfremt deres hjemland giver spanske statsborgere dér valgret.
In Belgium, Germany, Greece, France, Italy and Luxembourg the constitution reserves political rights for nationals and excludes the vote for other residents.
Det samme gælder den portugisiske grundlov, men her omfatter det kun borgere fra andre portugisisk talende lande.
The constitution in Spain allows it on condition of reciprocity; this is also the case in Portugal, but only for nationals of Portuguese-speaking countries.
I Storbritannien kan irere og Commonwealth­borgere (det store flertal af udlændingene) deltage i lokalvalg.
In the United Kingdom, Irish and Commonwealth citizens, who make up the great majority of foreign residents, can participate in local elections.
Kun i tre lande — Irland, Danmark (fra 1981) og Holland (fra 1983) kan alle immigranter (også ikke­europæere) stemme ved kommunevalg.
In the remaining three Community countries — Ireland, Denmark (since 1981) and the Netherlands (since 1983) — all foreigners, even non-Europeans, have the right to vote in local elections.
Det er i den forbindelse interessant, at man i Danmark fra 1977 til 1981 havde en ordning, hvor borgere fra de andre nordiske lande havde kommunal valgret.
In Denmark, an intermediate stage occurred between 1977 and 1981 when this right was given only to nationals of the other Nordic States.
For de fleste medlemslande er nationaliteten stadig afgørende for, om man har valgret eller ej, mens andre lægger vægten på bopælen.
For many Member States, therefore, the criterion for the right to vote, even in local elections, remains that of nationality, while other States give priority to the idea of residence.
EF­Kommissionen er af den opfattelse, at bopælskriteriet er bedre end nationaliteten til at afgøre, hvor man har kommunal valgret inden for Fællesskabet.
The European Commission believes that the criterion of residence is better suited to determining, within the Community, the place where people should vote at local level.
Kommunen har siden middelalderen været rammen om det daglige liv. Det er genstanden for de beslutninger, der træffes af de valgte organer i kommunen.
Real membership of a municipality — the focus of democratic life since the Middle Ages in many places — seems in effect to be determined by everyday life, which is itself dependent on the decisions of the council elected in the area of residence.
Det gælder børns skole, byggeregler og den kommunale service, og det gælder kommuneskatten, som alle, der bor i kommunen, må betale — uanset nationalitet.
This applies to the education of children, local and town planning, and the local taxation to which all residents, whatever their nationality, are subject.
Rent bortset fra sådanne rimeligheds­hensyn forløber akklimatiseringen og integrationen af borgere fra de andre medlems­lande i erhvervsmæssige og samfundsmæssige aktiviteter i modtagerlandet lettere, hvis tilflyttere har samme rettigheder som landets statsborgere.
In addition, the integration of nationals from other Member States into the economic and social life of the host country is made easier if they are given the same rights as nationals.
Man må i øvrigt konstatere, at problemet også eksisterer for det mest europæiske af alle valg: valgene til Europa­Parlamentet.
Paradoxically, a similar problem occurs for the most European of elections, those for the European Parliament.
De fleste lande har, selvom de i øvrigt sætter nationaliten over bopælskriteriet, sørget for, at deres statsborgere kan stemme
Most Member States, giving priority to the principle of nationality over place of residence, have made provision to ensure the participation
ved valg til Europa-Parlamentet, selv om de bor i et andet medlemsland.
of their nationals established in another Community country.
Irland og Storbritannien begrænser denne ret til statsborgere, der bor i landet, men giver samtidig stasborgere fra andre medlemslande (for Storbritanniens vedkommende dog kun irere) mulighed for at stemme.
However, Ireland and the United Kingdom reserve this right for their own citizens residing within the national territory while also giving it to foreigners (Irish nationals in the case of the United Kingdom, nationals from all Community countries in the case of Ireland).
Belgien har taget det prisværdige initiativ at give alle EF-borgere valgret med mindre de har mulighed for at stemme i deres hjemland.
Belgium has taken a remarkable initiative in according the right to vote to Community citizens resident in Belgium provided their national legislation does not allow them to vote in their country of origin.
Fælles regler for valg til Europa-Parlamentet bør træde i stedet for disse forskellige systemer med forskellig vægt på nationalitet og bopæl.
The adoption of a unified procedure for the European elections should enable these differences between nationality and place of residence to be settled, for all Member States and all European citizens.
Europa-Parlamentet fremsatte forslag herom i 1982. Det var baseret på valgret i hjemlandet og valgbarhed i bopælslandet og fandt ikke forståelse i Ministerrådet.
However, the European Parliament's 1982 proposal, which would provide the right to vote in the country of origin and the right to be elected in the country of residence, has not been able to win acceptance by the Community's Council of Ministers.
Af ti udlændinge i et af Fællesskabets medlemslande er kun de fire fra et andet medlemsland.
Of every 10 foreigners residing in a Community country, only four come from another Member State.
Kun i Belgien, Spanien, Irland og Luxembourg er fællesskabsborgerne i flertal blandt udlændingene.
Of the latter group, 85 % live in Belgium, Germany, France and the United Kingdom.
Af de fællesskabsborgere, der bor i et andet medlemsland, bor de 85 procent i Belgien, Tyskland, Frankrig og Storbritannien.
In only four member countries - Belgium, Spain, Ireland and Luxembourg - are nationals from other Member States more numerous than nationals from third countries.
Antallet af udlændinge i forhold til landets egne borgere, er naturligvis en faktor, der må tages i betragtning (se tabellen).
The relative importance of these different groups in relation to the total population is clearly a factor for consideration (see diagram).
Hvor procenten er høj, vanskeliggøres valgretten af frygt for, at den politiske balance skal blive forrykket.
When the proportion is relatively high, the granting of the right to vote may come up against resistance due to the fear of upsetting the existing political equilibrium.
D I syv medlemslande vil det imidlertid næppe rejse problemer af den art at give fællesskabsborgere fra andre lande valgret.
Ü In seven Community countries, however, the granting of voting rights in local elections to citizens from other Member States should hardly pose such a problem.
I tre lande er problemet allerede løst: Danmark, Irland og Holland har givet alle udlændinge (EF-borgere og andre) kommunal valgret.
First of all, the question is already settled for three countries: Denmark, Ireland and the Netherlands have given the right to vote in local elections to all foreigners, whether they are Community citizens or not.
I Danmark udgør det udenlandske befolkningsislæt ca. to pet. af befolkningen.
The foreign population in Denmark (approximately 2 % of the total population) can be divided into four generally equal groups: citizens of other Community countries, citizens of other Nordic countries, nationals of other European States such as Turkey and Yugoslavia, and people from other parts of the world.
Det er sammensat af fire næsten lige store grupper: borgere fra andre fællesskabslande, borgere fra de øvrige nordiske lande, borgere fra andre europæiske lande (tyrker og jugoslaver), samt borgere fra andre dele af kloden.
Seven per cent of the population of Ireland is 'foreign', but 80 % of this group are British nationals, mostly of Irish extraction.
1 Irland er det udenlandske befolkningsislæt på ca. syv pet. af den samlede befolkning og 80 pet. af dem er britiske statsborgere, som i mange tilfælde oprindeligt var irere.
In the Netherlands, 4 % of the population are foreign residents, of whom one-third come from other member countries.
I Holland er der fire pet. udlændinge, hvoraf en tredjedel af udlændingene bor i de store byer — Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Haag og Utrecht.
The principal cities (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht) have approximately one-third of the overall number of foreigners.
I Rotterdam udgør de næsten ti pet. af den samlede befolkning, i Amsterdam er det 14 pet., og procenten er endnu højere i visse omegnskommuner.
They account for 10 % of the total population in Rotterdam, 14 % in Amsterdam and a much greater percentage in some peripheral municipalities.
Alligevel har det ikke givet større problemer at give dem valgret.
Nonetheless, the extension of the right to vote has caused hardly any problems.
I fire andre lande — Spanien, Grækenland, Italien og Portugal — er det samlede antal udlændinge under en pet. af den samlede befolkning, og det vil næppe have politiske konsekvenser at give fællesskabsborgerne valgret.
In four other Community countries, the total number of foreigners is less than 1 % of the overall population.
Storbritannien har som Holland kun fire pet. udlændinge, hvoraf en tredjedel er fællesskabsborgere (især irere).
This is the case for Spain, Greece, Italy and Portugal.

' Alle udlændinge i det pågældende medlemsland har allerede kommunal valgret i kraft af landets lovgivning. "
* All foreigners living in this Member State already have the right under national law to vote in local elections. "
I Storbritannien har irere, som udgør hovedparten af samtlige statsborgere fra andre medlemslande, allerede kommunal valgret.
In the United Kingdom, Irish people, who comprise the majority of resident nationals of other Member States, already have the right to vote in local elections.

Såvel borgere fra Commonwealth­landene som irerne har imidlertid allerede valgret, så det vil kun dreje sig om ca. 100 000 mennesker, hvis man også giver andre borgere fra Fællesskabet valgret.
However, Commonwealth and Irish nationals already benefit from the right to vote, so an extension of this right to other Community citizens would involve little more than 100 000 persons.
• I Tyskland er ca. syv pet. udlændinge. Heraf kommer en tredjedel fra andre fællesskabslande (italienere, grækere, spaniere, portugisere og hollændere).
Seven per cent of the German population are foreigners, of whom one­third come from within the Community (mainly Italians, Greeks, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch).
Denne immigration er imidlertid så spredt, at man vanskeligt kan forestille sig, at det kan få virkninger på valgresultaterne at give fællesskabsborgere valgret.
This immigration is sufficiently spread out geogra­phically so that it is difficult to imagine it affecting electoral results.
Lokalt er der kun få steder, hvor antallet af tilflyttere fra andre fællesskabslande udgør mere end fem pet. af befolkningen.
At local level the number of Community nationals rarely amounts to 5 % of the population.
Undtagelserne fra denne regel er de store byer: Franfurt am Main og Stuttgart, nabobyer som Offenbach, Mannheim og Ludwigshafen, grænsebyer som Krefeld og Saar­brücken, samt Wolfsburg, der netop er industrialiseret på basis af indvand­rede fællesskabsborgere.
The only exceptions are some large cities (Frankfurt, Stuttgart), some neighbouring municipalities (Offenbach, Mannheim, Ludwigshafen) or border ones (Krefeld, Saarbrücken), and one or two new towns industria­lized with the help of Community migrants (Wolfsburg).
• I Frankrig er der ligeledes ca. syv pet. udlændinge og lige over 40 pet. af dem kommer fra andre fællesskabslande — først og fremmest Portugal ( 20 pet.), Italien og Spanien (hver ca. ti pet.).
In France, 7 % of the population are foreigners. Of these, a little more than 40 % come from other Community countries, particularly from Portugal (20 %), and from Italy and Spain (approximately 10 % each).
Udlændingene er koncentreret i de store byer.
The foreigners are concentrated in the major urban areas.
I Paris­området er mere end fem pet. af befolkningen borgere fra andre fællesskabslande med mere end ti pet. i L, 2. og 8. arrondissement. Det samme gælder Lyon og Toulouse og især Clermont­Ferrand (syv pet.) og Grenoble, samt visse grænsebyer, der er bygget op omkring kul­ og stålindustri, (Thionville, Forbach).
In the Paris region, nationals from other Member States account for slightly more than 5 % of the overall population (peaking to approximately 10 % in the 1st, 2nd and 8th districts of Paris); in the conurbations of Lyons, Toulouse and, in particular, Grenoble and Clermont­Ferrand they account for more than 7 %·, there are also concentrations in several traditional coal and steel border areas such as Thionville, Forbach, etc.
Procenten er højere i visse omegnskom­muner til de nævnte storbyer.
The percentages may be higher in certain munici­palities peripheral to the big conurbations.
• Belgien har ca. ni pet. udlændinge, hvoraf to tredjedele er fra de andre fællesskabslande.
In Belgium, 9 % of the population are foreigners and two­thirds of these come from within the Community.
32 pet. er italienere, 12 pet. franskmænd, 7,5 pet. hollændere og 6,6 pet. spaniere.
The Italians lead this group with 32 % of all foreigners, followed by the French (12 %), the Dutch (7,5 %) and the Spanish (6,6 %).
Udlændingene findes især i den sydlige del af landet og i Bruxelles, hvor man regner med, at en fjerdedel er udlændinge.
The foreign population is mostly concentrated in the south of the country (Wallonia) and in the Brussels region, where more than a quarter are foreign.
26 pet. af befolkningen er udlændinge og 90 pet. af dem fra andre fællesskabslande. Heraf kommer 56 pet. fra Sydeuropa — især Portugal og Italien, mens 30 pet. kommer fra nabolandene (Frankrig, Tyskland og Belgien).
Nine­tenths of them come from other member
Kommissionens forslag er den foreløbige konklusion i en sag, der har været arbejdet med meget længe.
Far from being a hasty or ill-considered initiative, the Commission's proposal is the result of a long process and much deliberation.
Π Idéen blev født i 1970'erne, da stats­ og regeringscheferne på deres møde i Paris i 1974 besluttede at undersøge mulighederne for »at give medlemslandenes borgere særlige rettigheder som medlemmer af Fællesskabet«.
Its origin can be traced to a declaration by the Heads of State or Government of the Community Member States. Meeting in Paris in December 1974, they decided to have the possibility studied of 'conferring on the citizens of Member States special rights as members of the Community'.
På grundlag heraf rejste Kommissionen i juli 1975 i en undersøgelsesrapport spørgsmålet om kommunal valgret.
On that basis, a European Commission report of July 1975 posed the question of the right to vote in local elections.
I 1977 opfordrede Europa­Parlamentet i en betænkning og en resolution Kommissionen til at udarbejde forslag. I 1987 drøftedes problemet
In November 1977, a European Parliament report and resolution called on the Commission to draw up proposals.
Rådets arbejde i årene fra 1976 til 1979 blev imidlertid (trods en ny rapport fra Kommissionen) ikke til mere end en række foreløbige udkast.
However, the work undertaken by the Council of Ministers between 1976 and 1979 on the basis of a new Commission report did not get beyond the stage of successive draft proposals.
Der var utallige politiske og statsretlige indvendinger.
The political and legal objections were numerous.
Man afviste at kaste sig ud i grundlovsæn­dringer, man satte spørgsmålstegn ved om Fællesskabet havde kompetence, man diskuterede fortolkninger af Rom­Traktaten og visse af dens artikler, og man rejste spørgsmålet om, hvilken retsakt, der overhovedet kunne være tale om.
Some were reluctant to embark on a process of constitutional change, others raised questions about the competence of the Community, the interpretation of the Treaty of Rome and some of its articles, and the type of legal instrument to be adopted.
Π I løbet af 1980'erne konkretiseredes sagen.
ZI In the 1980s, the idea took a more concrete form.
I juli 1980 besluttede Europa­Parlamentet at udarbejde en ny betænkning. Den blev vedtaget i juni 1983.
The European Parliament decided in July 1980 to draw up a new report, which was adopted in June 1983.
Et år senere, i juni 1984, overdrog Det Europæiske Råd på sit møde i Fontainebleau et ad hoc­udvalg, med italieneren Pietro Adonnino som formand, at undersøge mulighederne for at øge borgernes og verdens bevidsthed om Fællesskabets identitet.
In June of the following year, the European Council meeting at Fontainebleau asked an ad hoc committee, presided over by Mr Adonnino, to consider measures to strengthen the identity and image of the Community among its citizens and throughout the world.
I en betænkning, som blev tiltrådt af stats­ og regeringscheferne i juni 1985, anbefalede udvalget først og fremmest at genoptage diskussionen om den kommunale valgret.
In a report approved by the Heads of State or Government in June 1985, the committee particularly recommended the resumption of discussions on the right to vote in local elections.
Den danske regering fremsatte uden succes forslag herom i oktober 1985.
The Danish government unsuccessfully put forward proposals on this matter in October 1985.
I november 1985 lagde Europa­Parlamentet yderligere vægt bag sit pres, og EF­Kommissionen bekræftede sin vilje til at foretage en ny undersøgelse. Rapporten herom forelå i oktober 1986.
In November 1985, the European Parliament reiterated the importance it attached to the issue, and the European Commission confirmed its intention to submit a new report.
Kommissionen foreslår, at alle borgere i Fællesskabets medlemslande har valgret og er valgbare i den kommune, hvori de bor.
Following the adoption in December 1987 of a new Parliamentary Resolution, in the following June the Commission submitted to the Council a proposal for a directive.
Dobbelt valgret — såvel i hjemlandet som i bopælslandet — er ikke tilladt.
Once such agreement is given, the Member States will have three years in which to amend
fremlægge bevis for, at de ikke mere har kommunal valgret i hjemlandet, hvad enten det skyldes, at den er gået tabt i forbindelse med flytningen eller den pågældende selv har anmodet om at blive slettet.
The Commission proposes that every citizen of a Community Member State should have the right, in local elections, to vote, to stand for election and to be elected in their municipality of residence.
For at få valgret skal borgere fra andre medlemslande opfylde visse betingelser.
A double vote — in both one's country of origin and in one's host country — will not be allowed.
De skal have haft bopæl i landet i en vis periode.
Minimum duration of residence.
Den kan ikke være længere end en kommunal valgperiode. Inden for denne ramme kan medlemslandene frit bestemme, hvor længe man skal have boet i landet for at få valgret.
This may be established by the the Member States as they wish, on one condition: that it does not exceed the term of office of a local council in the country in question.
Denne regel gør det muligt at opretholde de gældende regler i en række medlemslande og samtidig sikre europæiske borgeres fundamentale rettighe­der.
This formula respects existing regulations in certain Member States while guaranteeing the equal, fundamental rights of all European citizens.
Den sikrer også tilpasning til det politiske system i modtagerlandet, fordi den giver nye vælgere fra andre medlemslande en frist, hvori de kan se, hvordan en kommunalbestyrelse arbejder i modtagerlandet.
In addition, it favours a successful adjustment to the political system operating in the country of residence, by allowing individual countries to impose a delay on the new elector — enabling him or her to observe a local council in operation.
• Vedrørende alder, borgerlige rettigheder, mv., skal myndighederne følge de regler, der gælder for deres egne statsborgere.
Age, legal capacity, etc.: in accordance with the existing conditions for nationals of the host Member State.
Π Valgbarhed.
Π The right to present oneself for election and to be elected.
For at være valgbar skal borgere fra andre medlemslande opfylde visse betingelser:
For nationals of other Member States, this is subject to certain conditions:
De skal have haft bopæl i landet i en vis periode. Fristen fastsættes efter samme kriterier som for valgret, men kan være længere — dog højst to valgperioder.
• A condition of length of residence, determined according to the same criteria as above, but longer: the maximum length to be equivalent to two terms of office of a local council.
Også for valgbarhed kan medlemslandene sætte en kortere frist
Here also, the Member States are free to determine a lower threshold.
De pågældende skal opfylde de samme betingelser som landets egne indbyggere
• The other conditions imposed on its own nationals by the host State.
