blevet understreget, at Unionens beslutningsproces ikke må hindres eller gøres tungere, og der er derfor forbehold med hensyn til at oprette et nyt organ, der kunne gøre de nuværende procedurer endnu mere komplicerede.
The allocation of seats should continue to take appro­priate account of relative population size, with a guar­antee of sufficient representation for the less pop­ulated Member States.
b) Budgetområdet:
(b) Budgetary function
Et andet synspunkt er, at de nationale parlamenter skal kunne udtale sig kollektivt om emner, der primært vedrører dem, såsom RIA eller nærhed, og dette kan ske, uden at lovgivningsprocessen kompliceres for meget, enten ved at tilpasse de nuværende strukturer (COSAC) eller ved at oprette en let ad hoc-struktur (parlamentarikerudvalg på højt plan) med en rådgivende rolle, der skal udøves forud for proceduren på helt afgrænsede områder og efter en rimelig tidsplan.
The idea of amending the provisions on drawing up a uniform electoral procedure has not received any sig­nificant support, either as regards the setting of a deadline for adopting a decision or as regards relaxa­tion of the procedure referred to in Article 138(3) of the TEC. But a number of ideas have been put for­ward for overcoming the disadvantages of the status quo:
G Med hensyn til den klassiske del af EF-budgettet er der bred tilslutning til, at status quo bevares.
□ As regards the regular Community budget, there is broad support for preserving the status quo.
Sondringen mellem OU og IOU er blevet nævnt, og der er fremsat nogle forslag om at gøre den klarere eller endog afskaffe den; disse forslag skal behandles nærmere.
The CE/ NCE distinction has been raised, and a number of sug­gestions for clarifying or even abolishing it could be studied in more depth.
Der er blevet fremsat en idé om fælles beslutningstagning på budget området, hvis nærmere indhold ikke er blevet diskuteret.
The idea of budgetary co­decision — the details of which have not yet been dis­cussed — has been put forward.
Endelig er det foreslået at indskrive de finansielle over slag i traktaten med en angivelse af, at de gælder for alle institutionerne.
It has been suggested that the financial perspective should be incorporated in the Treaty with the stipulation that it applies to all the institutions.
G Finansieringen af de aktioner, der vedtages i henhold til afsnit V og VI i TEU (FUSP og RIA), skal i princippet ske over EF-budgeltet efter særlige bestemmelser i traktaten, idet muligheden for national finansiering bevares.
□ Action decided on under Titles V and VI of the TEU (CFSP and JHA) should as a rule be funded from the Community budget in accordance with spe­cial procedures to be laid down by the Treaty, al­though the possibility of national funding should be maintained.
Kvalificeret flertal og enstemmighed c) Kontrol med gennemførelsen af retsakter
(c) Control of the implementation of legislative acts
Det fremgår af drøftelserne, at den nuværende ligevægt, der bygger på Rådets afgørelse af 13. juli 1987 (komitologi) og suppleres af modus vivendi vedrørende gennem førelsen af retsakter vedtaget ved den fælles beslut ningsprocedure, er en ligevægt, som vanskeligt kan ændres.
It would seem from the discussions that the current balance, based on the Council Decision of 13 July 1987 (committee procedure) plus the modus vivendi on the implementation of acts adopted by the co­decision procedure, is a balance that would be hard to change.
Indtil videre har der ikke kunnet opnås enstemmig tilslutning til nogen kriterier for den udvidede anvendelse (blokvis løsning, overensstemmelse mellem de afstemningsregler, der anvendes for det indre marked, og dem. der anvendes for visse politikker, som er nært knyttet hertil, eller kun undtagelser for forfatningsmæssige eller lignende områder), og der er en vis støtte til. at der skal tages stilling i hvert enkelt tilfælde.
Extension of the scope of the co­decision procedure will be examined in the light of the report which the Commission is to draw up under the terms of the Treaty, and of the interest shown by some in working towards a hierarchy of norms.
Det er også blevet anført, at hvis der indføres udvidet kvalificeret flertal (som mellemløsning mellem enstemmighed og det nuværende kvalificerede flertal), vil det maske blive nemmere at nå frem til enighed.
There is no common approach on the criterion for such extension (all legis­lative acts? all acts currently covered by the cooper­ation procedure? all acts subject to a qualified major­ity in the Council?). There is some support for a case­by­case approach.
Den rolle, som de nationale parlamenter spiller i den europæiske integrationsproces, afhænger forst og fremmest af de enkelte medlemsstaters forfatning.
The role played by national parliaments in the process of European integration is primarily a matter for the particular constitutional organization of each Member State.
Der er almindelig enighed om. at denne rolle bør udvikles som et supplement til Europa-Parlamentets rolle, og at Europa-Parlamentéis beføjelser hverken direkte eller indirekte må anfægtes.
It is generally accepted that any enhan­cement of this role should be complementary to the role of the European Parliament, whose powers ought not to be affected, even indirectly.
b) Der er bred enighed om. at der under alle omstændigheder fortsat skal anvendes enstemmighed på visse områder, bl.a. fordi de har »forfatningsmæssige« følger, er politisk følsomme eller har stor økonomisk betydning.
As regards the scope of the assent procedure, it has been suggested that it should cover certain interna­tional agreements, accession treaties and decisions on own resources (excluding legislative acts).
Denne rolle bør først og fremmest udøves nationalt, hvor den kan lettes ved at tilrettelægge EF-institutionernes arbejde bedre, således at der bliver tid nok til at gennem gå teksterne, ved hurtigere at udsende dokumenterne på alle fællesskabssprogene og ved at lade kommissærerne præsentere vigtige kommissionsforslag til retsakter i nationale parlamentsudvalg.
This role should primarily be performed at national level, where it could be assisted by better organization of the Community institutions' work to allow a suffi­cient minimum period of time for the examination of texts, by a more rapid distribution of documents in each official language and by having important legis­lative proposals from the Commission presented orally by Commissioners to national parliamentary committees.
Med hensyn til muligheden for at udvikle de nationale parlamenters rolle i Unionens institutionelle system er det c) Det fremgår af de første diskussioner, at traktatrevisioner fortsat skal ske efter fælles overenskomst, i hvert fald i forbindelse med vedtagelse af tekster, der skal ratificeres.
The principle of simplifying the co­decision procedure (Article 189b) has met with a broadly favourable re­sponse, although no consensus has yet been reached on the details of such simplification: abolition of the first reading; abolition of the European Parliament's intended rejection; abolition of the 'minor conciliation procedure'; abolition of the third reading.
Til gengæld mener nogle, at spørgsmålet om reglerne for traktatændringers ikrafttrædelse skal behandles nær mere.
As to the possibility of expanding the role of national parliaments in the institutional system of the Union, there was considerable emphasis on the need to avoid hampering or overburdening the Union's decision­making process, and reservations were expressed

Annexes to the conclusions of the Presidency about setting up a new body whose operations would complicate existing procedures still further.
1.102. a) Det er den almindelige opfattelse, at tærsklen for kvalificeret flertal skal forblive som nu (62 stemmer ud af 87), og det er blevet nævnt, at Ioannina-kompromiset skal bevares.
given to the Intergovernmental Conference by the European Council — has generated two schools of thought:
Sammensætning b) Der er tilkendegivet følgende holdninger til en eventuel tilpasning af den nuværende vægtning, der er omfattet af det mandat, som Det Europæiske Råd udtrykkeligt har givet regeringskonferencen:
According to another view, it is essential to allow national parliaments to speak collectively on matters that are of prime concern to them, such as JHA or sub­sidiarity, and this can be done without complicating the legislative process unduly, either by adjusting ex­isting structures (COSAC) or by creating a stream­lined ad hoc structure (high­level parliamentary com­mittee) which would play an advisory role in advance of the procedure, in very precisely defined areas and within appropriate time limits.
G Nogle mener, at den nuværende vægtning skal fastholdes og uden videre ekstrapoleres ved udvidelser; denne holdning bygger især på, at de påståede skævheder mellem befolkning og antal stemmer ikke er påvist, at Rådets beslutningsmåde ikke må fravige princippet om lighed mellem medlemsstaterne (Europa-Parlamentet repræsenterer befolkningerne), og at der ikke i realiteten findes nogen »blok« af små lande, hvilket Rådets praksis viser.
□ those who believe that the current weighting should be maintained and extrapolated — as such — when enlargements take place; this position is based mainly on the fact that the distortions alleged by some be­tween population and number of votes have not been proven, and the Council's method of taking decisions cannot ignore the principle of equality between Mem­ber States (the European Parliament being responsible for representing the people) and that there is not in re­ality any 'bloc' of less populated States, as can be seen from Council practice; and
Dette resultat kan opnås ved:
This may be achieved:
— enten at ændre den nuværende vægtning, således at der bliver bedre overensstemmelse mellem antal stemmer og befolkning
— either by altering the current weighting to ensure a better balance between number of votes and pop­ulation;
I denne forbindelse er det blevet foreslået at tilpasse den nuværende vægtning alene med det formål at bevare det nuværende stemmeforhold mellem de mest befolkede og de mindst befolkede medlemsstater efter en udvidelse.
In this connection, it has been suggested that the cur­rent weighting could be adjusted solely with the aim of maintaining, after enlargement, the ratio that exists today in terms of votes between the more populated Member States and the less populated Member States.
Formandskab b) Det er den fremherskende opfattelse, at hovedlinjerne i udnævnelsesproceduren bør bevares; tanken om en styrkelse af den indstillede formands rolle (for øjeblikket høres den pågældende) ved valget af medlemmer (og senere i relation til kommissærkollegiet) har fået en positiv modtagelse; i den forbindelse har muligheden af'at lade Europa-Parlamentet godkende valget af Kommissionens formand fået en vis støtte.
At this stage it would seem that none of the criteria envisaged for such an extension (en bloc approach: consistency between voting rules applicable to the internal market and to certain policies closely linked to it, exceptions limited to constitutional or quasi­constitutional areas) can be accepted unanimously, and there is some support for the idea that an exten­sion can only be achieved on a case­by­case basis.
Der er endvidere blevet talt om at gøre Kommissionen ansvarlig over for Det Europæiske Råd.
It has also been noted that the introduction of a super­qualified majority (as an intermediate arrangement be­tween unanimity and the present qualified majority) might be helpful in finding agreement.
Spørgsmålet om regler for formandskabets udøvelse (navnlig idéen om et fælles formandskab) er blevet fremsat, men er endnu ikke blevet drøftet.
The question of the arrangements for the hold­ing of the Presidency (including the idea of a joint Presidency) has been raised but has not been dis­cussed in detail at this stage.

The suggestions concerning the preparation and conduct of Council proceedings which do not neces­sarily involve a revision of the Treaty need to be dis­cussed in more detail with the aim of finding practical solutions as soon as possible without waiting for the end of the Intergovernmental Conference.

1.102. (a) It is fairly generally felt that the threshold for qualified­majority voting should stay as it is (62 votes out of 87). Mention has been made of the need to maintain the Ioannina Compromise.

sionen skal være forpligtet til at forelægge et forslag efter udtrykkelig anmodning fra Rådet.
It has also been suggested that the Commission should be made accountable to the Euro­pean Council.
1.108. a) Muligheden for en udvidelse af enkeltpersoners direkte klageadgang har kun vundet begrænset støtte, selv om det er blevet nævnt, at det ville være en fordel ved krænkelse af en grundlæggende rettighed.
1.108. (a) The possibility of broadening the scope for individuals to apply directly to the Court received only limited support, although the point was made that direct application would be useful in the event of vio­lation of a fundamental right.
Der er blevet fremsat en idé om at indsætte en bestemmelse i traktaten om, at Kommissionens forslag bortfalder (ved mandatets udløb eller hvis Rådet ikke har truffet afgørelse efter en bestemt tidsfrist), men den har ikke vundet større tilslutning.
There was not a great deal of support for the idea of including a clause in the Treaty to the effect that the Commission's proposals would lapse at the end of its term or if there was no Council decision after a given period.
Det samme gælder idéen om at se på princippet om, at Rådet kun kan ændre et forslag fra Kommissionen ved enstemmig vedtagelse (artikel 189 A i TEF).
The same applies to the idea of reviewing the principle whereby the Council cannot adopt an act constituting an amendment to a Commission proposal except on the basis of unanimity (Article 189a of the TEC).
b) Det er den almindelige opfattelse, at Kommissionens rolle som traktatens vogter bør bevares.
(b) It is generally felt that the Commission's role as guardian of the Treaty should be maintained.
b) Den tanke har været fremsat, at der gives Europa-Parlamentet en klageret i henhold til artikel 173 i TEF, der går ud over, hvad der allerede er tillagt det i denne bestemmelse.
(b) It has been suggested that the European Parlia­ment's right to bring action within the meaning of Article 173 of the TEC should be extended beyond that already laid down in that provision.
Der er vist interesse for, at Revisionsretten skal kunne anlægge sager ved Domstolen for at sikre respekten for sine prærogativer.
The idea that the Court of Auditors should be entitled to bring pro­ceedings before the Court of Justice in order to safe­guard its prerogatives was received with interest.
Der er derimod ikke nogen videre tilslutning til, at Det Økonomiske og Sociale Udvalg og Regionsudvalget skal kunne anlægge sager vedrørende overholdelse af nærhedsprincippet.
This tends not to be favoured, however, for the Economic and Social Committee or for the Committee of the
Domstolen c) Det er blevet foreslået, at traktaten udtrykkeligt skal stadfæste Domstolens mulighed for at begrænse den tilbagevirkende kraft af sine domme, navnlig når det kan få omfattende finansielle følger for medlemsstaterne, og at Domstolen i visse tilfælde skal kunne begrænse med lemsstaternes ansvar ved overtrædelse af EF-retten.
(c) It has been suggested both that the Treaty should explicitly establish the power of the Court of Justice to limit the retroactive effects of its judgments, espe­cially where retroactivity is likely to have significant financial consequences for the Member States, and that there should be recognition of the Court's power in certain circumstances to limit Member States' lia­bility in cases of infringement of Community law.
Disse idéer, der er blevet mødt med nogle forbehold, bør drøftes nærmere.
These ideas, which prompted reservations, require fur­ther discussion.

Tanken om også at medregne generaladvokaterne har ikke vundet særlig stor tilslutning.
(a) General clause or a clause for each pillar
Hvis antallet af' medlemmer øges betydeligt, er det blevet foreslået at oprette to adskilte afdelinger i Domstolen, forudsat at enheden i Domstolens retspraksis ikke berøres.
1.109. (a) The discussions showed that amendments to the Treaty could be considered in order to enlarge the Council's scope to amend the provisions of the Court's Statute at the Court's request (currently lim­ited to the provisions of Title III of the Statute), and to widen the margin of independence enjoyed by the Court of Justice in drawing up its Rules of Procedure.
b) Det er blevet foreslået at oprette en intern appelordning inden for Domstolen (der ikke indebærer oprettelse af noget nyt organ), men dette har ikke vundet særlig stor tilslutning.
(b) The idea was mooted of establishing a system of internal appeal at the Court (with no new body being created), but support was lukewarm.
B. Andre institutioner og organer c) Domstolens idé om at lade generaladvokaterne deltage i udpegelsen al' Domstolens præsident har fået en vis støtte.
B. Other institutions and bodies

The introduction of a general clause has been suggested, enabling Member States that are willing and able to develop closer cooperation amongst them­selves in the single institutional framework of the Union.

Another view prefers a specific clause for each pillar to reflect the desirability and feasibility of closer cooperation, aspects which vary according to area (the need is far more keenly felt in the CFSP and JHA domains, for example, than in relation to the TEC, where there are quite tight constraints on differentia­tion, linked for example to preservation of the single internal market).
Bilag til formandskabets konklusioner ændres, men at Regionsudvalget bør have større administrativ autonomi.
The discussions established that the composi­tion and status of the Court of Auditors, Economic and Social Committee and Committee of the Regions should remain unchanged in broad outline, but that the Committee of the Regions should be allowed more administrative autonomy.
Tanken om at gøre såvel Det Økono miske og Sociale Udvalg som Regionsudvalget til institutioner er blevet fremført.
The idea that the Economic and Social Committee and Committee of the Regions should be made into institutions was mentioned.
Inden for en søjle kan bestemmelserne om udvidet samarbejde have forskellige former som f.eks.
Within a single 'pillar' the closer cooperation provisions could take a variety of forms:
Tanken om at udvide Revisionsrettens revisionsbeføjelse til at omfatte alle organer og agenturer, der forvalter indtægter og udgifter på Fællesskabets eller Unionens vegne, har fået ret bred tilslutning.
□ an enabling clause applying to a given sector in the pillar but not specifying the purpose or the procedures of closer cooperation:
Der er forskellige holdninger til en eventuel udvidelse af Det Økonomiske og Sociale Udvalgs og Regionsudvalgets rådgivende beføjelser og til idéen om, at Europa-Parlamentet skal kunne høre Regionsudvalget.
□ an enabling clause with purpose and procedures spelt out; ü enacting terms complete with purpose and proce­dures (e.g. a Protocol) and operational as soon as the Treaty entered into force.
G en bestemmelse om bemyndigelse for en bestemt sektor inden for søjlen, der ikke foregriber hverken målet eller reglerne for det udvidede samarbejde
Views differed on any increase in the advi­sory powers of the Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions, as they did on the idea of the latter being consulted by the European Par­liament.
V — Udvidet samarbejde — fleksibilitet
V — Closer cooperation — Flexibility
Det er almindeligt anerkendt, at det vil være en fordel, navnlig efter senere udvidelser, at kunne anvende et udvidet samarbejde på visse områder, omend nogle parter først kan tage endelig stilling, når de kender betingelserne og de nærmere detaljer.
This question does not arise if all aspects of closer cooperation are defined in the Treaty.
Sådanne bestemmelser i traktaten skulle under alle omstændigheder ligge i forlængelse af dem, der allerede findes i TEF og TEU, og bør udformes på en sådan måde,
Where enabling clauses are concerned, views are divided between unanimity and majority, depending on whether the emphasis is on the joint nature of the
Dette spørgsmål er ikke aktuelt i forbindelse med et udvidet samarbejde, der er fastlagt i alle enkeltheder i traktaten.
The value of forms of closer cooperation in cer­tain areas, particularly from the point of view of enlar­gement, is fairly generally acknowledged, even if there are some who will not give their final views on the subject until the conditions and procedures for this approach have been defined.
I forbindelse med en bestemmelse om bemyndigelse er der forskellige opfattelser af, om der skal være enstemmighed eller et flertal, alt efter om man lægger vægt på, at der er tale om et fælles forehavende, eller på, at et minimumsantal medlemsstater ikke må forhindres i at gå videre, hvis visse betingelser er opfyldt (se nedenfor).
Annexes to the conclusions of the Presidency activity or on the need not to thwart the wish of a core of Member States to move ahead, subject to compli­ance with certain conditions (see below).
Ifølge formandskabet er der konsensus om, at enhver anvendelse al' en hvilken som helst form for udvidet samarbejde bør respektere forud fastsatte princip per og betingelser.
The Presidency finds that there is consensus that any recourse to closer cooperation, whatever its form, should be subject to compliance with pre­defined principles and conditions.
