Changes to the agenda

They pointed out that if there is a serious risk that Romania might not be able to fulfil its obligations in time, accession may be postponed by one year, as is the case with Bulgaria.
Borrell sagde, at der var tale om et fortolkningsspørgsmål, om vi er tvunget til hemmelig afstemning, idet der står "kan" og ikke "skal".
In the resolution, Parliament lists a number of important steps that Romania will have to take.

Situation in Cambodia
Onsdag den 15. december 2004 vedtog Euro pa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg en betænkning af den hollandske PPE'er Camiel EURLINGS, hvori man siger "ja " til indledning af op tagelsesforhandlinger med Tyrkiet - dog uden at man giver Tyrkiet garanti for EU-medlemskab.
Thus, MEPs urge Romania "to give full effect to the laws on freedom of information", as they are alarmed at the growing number of serious assaults on investigative journalists.
Dette emne er hovedpunktet under det kommende EU-topmøde i Bruxelles 16.-17. december.
Also, the country should complete the reform of the judicial system, as MEPs were concerned about continuing attempts to influence the outcome of judicial proceedings.
Eurlings-betænk-ningen blev vedtaget med 407 stemmer mod 262 - medens 29 MEP'er undlod at stemme.
Corruption remains a serious worry as well, especially high-level corruption.
Den endelige afstemning var hemmelig - jvf. artikel 162 i EP's forretningsorden.
MEPs also expressed their alarm at continuing reports on cases of ill-treatment at police stations, prisons and mental hospitals.
"Skræddersyet særstatus " Under afstemningen afviste Europa-Parlamentet et ændringsforslag, hvori Werner Langen m.fl. lagde op til at afvise fuldt tyrkisk EU-medlemskab.
Furthermore, Romania should continue the reform of the social security and welfare system, particularly with regard to improving the health services and mental health care.
Det blev nedstemt med 438 stemmer mod 235.
Poverty still is an extremely serious problem in Romania as well.
Inden afstemningen var der en ophidset debat om, hvorvidt den endelige afstemning skulle være hemmelig.
Romania on track for 2007, although more to be done
Formanden for den liberale gruppe Graham WATSON tog afstand fra hemmelig afstemning og kaldte dem, der støttede forslaget for autokrater og kujoner, og hemmelig afstemning om dette vigtige spørgsmål var uværdigt for dette hus.
On the incorporation of EU legislation, MEPs said that Romania had achieved a satisfactory degree of alignment, but that much more needs to be done to implement legislation in the fields of environment, state aid and justice and home affairs.
Han bad Hans-Gert Pottering om offentligt at til kendegive, om han var for hemmelig afstemning - hvilket Pottering ikke gjorde.

Den 16-17. december - dvs. i slutningen af denne uge - træffer EU' stats- og regeringschefer endelig beslutning, om EU vil indlede optagelsesforhandlinger med Tyrkiet.
Camiel EURLINGS (EPPED, NL) Report on the 2004 regular report and the recommendation of the European Commission on Turkey's progress towards accession (COM(2004)0656 - C6-0148/2004 2004/2182(INi)) Doc: A6-0063/2004 Procedure : Own initiative Debate: 13.12.2004 Vote : 15.12.2004
"Privilegeret partnerskab "!
Bulgaria should be in a position to join the European Union on 1 January 2007, believes the European Parliament.
Under den politiske ordførerrunde sagde for manden for PPE-gruppen, den tyske CDU'er Hans-Gert PÖTTERING, at EU nu står over for en beslutning af vidtrækkende betydning.
MEPs say Bulgaria meets the Copenhagen political criteria, has successfully overhauled its administration and judicial system, has a functioning market economy and has made efforts to resolve the problems of minorities.
Aldrig før har vi skulle træffe en beslutning af så stor rækkevidde. Hvis Tyrkiet kommer i EU, vil EU ændre karakter! Pöttering fastslog, at PPE-gruppen er delt i dette spørgsmål.
They therefore see no obstacle to speedy signature of the accession treaty, preferably in early spring 2005.
Tyrkiet er et samvittighedsspørgsmål, og I bør stemme efter jeres egen overbevisning, sagde Hans-Gert Pöttering.
The EU should begin accession negotiations with Turkey "without undue delay".
Han støttede personligt et "privilegeret partnerskab" med Tyrkiet.
Two days before a decision by the European Council, MEPs adopted a resolution saying that Turkey has made impressive progress in respecting the political criteria, enough for negotiations on EU membership to start.
Hvis Tyrkiet bliver EU-medlem vil grundlaget for solidariteten i EU skades, sluttede Pöttering.
The resolution was adopted by 407 votes in favour, 262 against and 29 abstentions in a secret ballot (under rule 162 of Parliament's Rules of Procedure).
Kritisk og positiv! Under fremlæggelsen af sin betænkning sagde den hollandske PPE'er Camiel Eurlings, at den tyrkiske forfatning stammer fra en militær tid - og at der er behov for en ny forfatning.
However, when it adopted the report by Geoffrey VAN ORDEN (EPPED, UK) by 527 votes in favour, 19 against and 21 abstentions, Parliament did not simply heap praise upon Bulgaria.
Der er her tale om en meget konstruktiv og realistisk, men ikke en naiv betænkning, sagde Eurlings.
MEPs are calling for even greater efforts to be made to fight organised crime, corruption and trafficking in human beings.
Der er balance mellem en kritisk og en positiv indstilling til tyrkisk EU-medlemskab.
On the last point, they argue that a database on ill-treated people and those who have disappeared would be useful.
Schulz kritiserede Pöttering for at sige, at EU vil ændre karakter efter tyrkisk EU-medlemskab.
Therefore it stressed that, in the first phase of negotiations, priority should be given to the full application of the political criteria.
For Tyrkiet skal jo ratificere hele EUs juridiske regelsæt!
In case of serious breaches of the political criteria, negotiations must be suspended.
Den tyrkiske premierminister Erdogan har gennemført flere reformer end nogen tidligere tyrkisk regering, og udsigten til EU-medlemskab ændrer grundlaget i Tyrkiet, som bevæger sig i retning af et almindeligt vestligt demokrati, sagde Schulz.
MEPs also underlined that starting negotiations will not automatically result in Turkey's accession and that appropriate ways will have to be found "to ensure that Turkey remains fully anchored in European

The Week not be structures", should negotiations successfully concluded.
Det har de brug for - og det er vor bedste eksportvare, sluttede Martin Schulz.
well as better implementation of existing legislation.
Hun fastslog, at den liberale gruppe støtter Eurlings-betænkningen, og at målet er tyrkisk EU-medlemskab.
The priority, he said, was for Turkey to fulfil the political criteria necessary for eventual accession.
Bonino mente, at betænkningen pakker tingene for meget ind.
Turkey had made considerable progress in the area of human rights.
Hun stillede spørgsmålet, om EU er en troværdig partner, efter at man har afgivet løftet om tyrkisk EU-kandidatur.
There was "no systematic torture", however, all forms of torture had to be stopped.
Europas værdighed står på spil.
Freedom of religion was still an issue.
Det drejer sig om Europas identitet politisk set - ikke geografisk eller religiøst, sluttede Emma Bonino.
30 per cent of the population could not fully enjoy this right.
EU: Ikke en religiøs klub Seeberg understregede endvidere, at der intet er i vejen for at optage et stort muslimsk land i EU, da EU ikke er en religiøs klub, men derimod et fællesskab, hvor "fællesnævneren er demokrati". Endvidere advarede hun imod blot at tilbyde Tyrkiet et privilegeret partnerskab, i stedet for egentligt medlemsskab, et alternativ, der vil "placere Tyrkiet på et side spor" og indebære løftebrud fra alle EU-landene.
As to women's rights, Mr Eurlings stated that a lot more had to be done including outlawing the practice of "forced marriages and socalled honour killings as well as working to improve literacy levels among women" Regarding the Turkish constitution, Mr Eurlings stressed the need to clarify the role of the military.
Afslutningsvis understregede Seeberg, at "vi skal åbne forhandlingerne med Tyrkiet, som vi har lovet, og give Tyrkiet en fair chance".
He also called for a new committee to be set up on the "Armenian genocide question".
Der er plads til det hele i det 21. århundrede, sluttede Lagendijk.
MEPs also mentioned the eradication of violence against women, freedom of expression and press freedom as issues they would monitor closely.
Sikre fri organisationsret Socialdemokraten Poul Nyrup RASMUSSEN fastslog, at det er afgørende at starte optagelsesforhandlinger med Tyrkiet, "at have et perspektiv, men ikke nogen automatik og ikke nogen garanti". Herunder henledte Nyrup Rasmussen opmærksomheden på et aktuelt problem, der skal forbedres, hvis Tyrkiet skal opnå EU-medlemskab, idet han henviste til en konkret sag om anerkendelse af fagforeninger i Tyrkiet.
The Parliament also referred to earlier conclusions of EU government leaders that "the Union's capacity to absorb new members, while maintaining the momentum of European integration, constitutes an important criterion for accession, from the point of view both of the Union and of candidates for accession".
Nyrup Rasmussen understregede, at denne sag er meget alvorlig, idet det, der foregår i Tyrkiet "ikke er i overensstemmelse med ytringsfrihed og fri organisationsret".
And it noted that Turkey could only become a member after the EU's long-term budget planning for the period from 2014 onwards has been decided upon.
Mogens CAMRE fra Dansk Folkeparti fastslog, at ordføreren og flertallet i EP erkender, at der er dybtgående forskelle mellem EU og Tyrkiet.
He stressed that Turkey had introduced several new bills improving the human rights situation in the country.
EP vil gøre os alle sammen til de nye tyskere og lade millioner af fremmede flytte ind.
The Commission would be closely monitoring the situation with regard to freedom of religion under the framework of the Copenhagen criteria.
Europas befolkninger er imod optagelsen af Tyrkiet i EU, fastslog Mogens Camre.
As to Cyprus, Commissioner Rehn agreed with the comments made by Mr Eurlings and stressed that more would have to be done in this area.
EU-topmødet december:
However, there was a clear need for further reforms as
Under debatten talte Gitte SEEBERG fra de Konservative for tyrkisk EU-medlemskab, idet hun henviste til, at der er "meget store sikkerhedspolitiske gevinster ved at fremme Tyrkiets integration i Europa".
The Commissioner pointed out that EU-Turkey relations had a long history dating back to the 1963 Association Agreement.
Onsdag den 15. december 2004 havde Euro pa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg en debat om det
Commissioner Rehn stated that
kommende EU-topmøde i Bruxelles 16.-17. december, hvor stats- og regeringschefernes beslutning om indledning af optagelsesforhandlinger med Tyrkiet er det helt store emne på dagsordenen.
"the negotiations, by definition, would be an openended process and there was no alternative to full membership on the table."
Under debatten sagde den hollandske Europaminister Atzo NICOLAI, at EU's stats- og regeringschefer skal træffe nogle vigtige beslutninger i Bruxelles - både om nye udvidelsesforhandlinger med Kroatien og Tyrkiet og om EU's fremtidige politikker.
Atzo NICOLAI, for the Dutch Presidency of the Council, recalled that Turkey had made considerable progress since the December 1999 Helsinki Council when it was decided to formally recognise Turkey's candidacy for accession.
"Samliv" med Tyrkiet Under den politiske ordførerrunde sagde den portugisiske PPE'er Joao de Deus PINHEIRO, at Tyrkiet udgør et "særtilfælde" både med hensyn til økonomi og kultur samt Cypern-spørgsmålet.
Turkey had made "impressive progress", however several challenges remained including the full respect of the political criteria for accession and the adoption of the six outstanding bills before the Turkish Parliament.
Pinheiro spurgte, om vi vil forblive en politisk dværg og en "blød stormagt", eller om vi vil afsætte de nødvendige ressourcer til at blive en rigtig stormagt med ambitioner og ressourcer.
Mr Nicolai' recognised that this was "an openended process" and that Turkey "feared new criteria, further to the Copenhagen criteria being introduced". He welcomed Mr Eurling's draft report.
"Haag-programmet " Atzo Nicolai fastslog, at terrorismebekæmpelse havde haft 1. prioritet under det hollandske EU-formandskab, idet Europa stadig er sårbart.
He argued that Turkish membership would not alter the nature of the EU - rather Turkey would have to accept the whole range of EU values, including the Charter of Fundamental Rights, and implement them in its internal laws if it were to join.
Han mindede om, at det Europæiske Råd havde vedtaget "Haag-programmet" om frihed, sikkerhed og ret færdighed den 5. november.
The prize was to show that Islam and democracy were not incompatible.
Finansrammen 2007-2013 er et vigtigt emne under EU-topmødet, og det ventes, at det Europæiske Råd træffer beslutning om principper og retningslinjer for finansrammen 2007-2013 (Red.: som drejer sig om mere end 1.000 mia. euro og afskaffelse af UK-rabatten på 3-7 mia. euro årligt).
The reforms carried out under the Erdogan government were the most significant in decades, he said.
Åbent værdifællesskab! Formanden for den socialistiske gruppe, den tyske SPD'er Martin SCHULZ erkendte, at der er kulturelle forskelle mellem Tyrkiet og EU - men det er ikke det, det drejer sig om.
Many Turkish people were saying that it was the prospect of EU membership which was changing their country into a normal parliamentary democracy.
EU er et værdifællesskab, som står åbent over for lande med andre kulturer.
The journey was not complete, but that was the peace dividend available.
Indledning af optagelsesforhandlinger viser, at Tyrkiet er rede til at acceptere vore værdier.
Opening the door could help the EU realise its potential as an exporter of peace and democracy to a growing region.
Ikke kristen klub!
Political group speakers
Formanden for den liberale gruppe, skotten Graham WATSON fastslog, at de fleste medlemmer af hans gruppe var for åbning af tiltrædelsesforhandlinger med Tyrkiet.
Hans-Gert POETTERING (DE), leader of the EPP-ED group, said the Council's decision would have greater consequences than any decision made in EU history.
Euro pa er ikke en kristen klub. I Europa-Parlamentet har vi en åben debat, medens der er lukkede døre i det Europæiske Råd.
Admitting Turkey would completely change the nature of the EU, he said, this could not be a reflex decision - rather, it should be a decision of conscience.
Watson mente, at vi bør se nærmere på EU's evne til at absorbere nye medlemslande, og vor vision om Europa skal bestemme vore grænser.
Emma BONINO (IT) spoke for the ALDE group, the majority of which, she said, supported Mr Eurling's report, with its call for negotiations to be opened.
Om finansrammen sagde Watson, at EU skal have de tilstrækkelige ressourcer, og det er bedre at bruge 1,2 % af BNI godt, end at bruge under 1 % af BNI dårligt.
Some of them, herself included, would have preferred a more direct message, making clear that Turkish membership ought to be welcomed.
Klar dato til Tyrkiet! Formanden for EU-Kommissionen José Manuel BARROSO fastslog, at Tyrkiet op fylder "Københavns-kriterierne" i tilstrækkeligt omfang, og nu må det Europæiske Råd leve op til sine forpligtelser over for Tyrkiet.
This was a question of whether the EU was a reliable partner in international negotiations and whether its word stood for anything.
Man må give tyrkerne en klar dato for ind ledning af optagelsesforhandlingerne og ikke stille yderligere betingelser.
She said Europe's identity was political, looking at the present and future, not founded looking back at what some called Europe's Christian or Catholic roots.
Målet for for handlingerne må være tyrkisk EU-medlem skab, men vi kan ikke nu garantere medlemskab. Barroso pegede på globaliseringens hæslige ansigt - terrorismen, som vi må bekæmpe og udrydde, uden at miste vore juridiske og demokratiske principper.
Europe could negotiate with profound commitment, or it could close itself off.
Barroso sagde om finansrammen 20072013, at hvis man begrænser EU-budgettet til 1 % af medlemslandenes bruttonationalindkomst, så er der ikke nok til samhørighedspolitik, forskning og sikkerhed for borgerne.
For the Greens/EFA group, Joost LAGENDIJK (NL) said the Greens in general supported the report as it had emerged from the committee.
Vi kan ikke få mere Europa med færre penge. En øvre grænse på 1 % vil
He warned MEPs who were against Turkish membership not to try to amend the report in this way, as this would
Udemokratisk skandale! Medformanden for den grønne gruppe, tyskeren Daniel COHN-BENDIT mente, at der var tale om en kulturdebat, når vi drøfter tyrkisk medlemskab, og mange viser "politisk blindhed" i denne debat.
Within the EPP-ED group, some did not want to open negotiations, some were in favour and others wanted instead to negotiate a privileged partnership with Turkey.
Der er en intens aggressivitet hos dem, der er imod tyrkisk medlemskab - og det er udtryk for racisme,
Turkey was a large and important country and the EU should seek friendship and partnership, he said.
sagde Cohn-Bendit. Han kritiserede Pöttering for at kræve hemmelig afstemning om Tyrkiet, dvs. at vore vælgere ikke får at vide, hvad vi har stemt.
Turkey's accession would assist in strengthening peace in the Caucuses and bordering countries.
Det er udemokratisk og en skandale.
There would also be, he said, economic benefits for the EU.
Og hvad tænker tyrkerne ikke om dette?
British and Irish MEPs lead to a failure.
I dette vigtige spørgsmål må vælgerne ikke få at vide, hvordan MEP'erne har stemt, og det i et Europa-Parlament, der selv kræver åbenhed i EU.
He had visited Turkey the previous week, and all the people with whom he discussed the matter had told him that while a lot was wrong, but to go ahead with negotiations was the best guarantee of continuing reform.
Ordfører: Geoffrey VAN ORDEN (PPE/DE, UK) Bulgariens fremskridt i retning mod tiltrædelse Dok.: A6-0065/2004 Procedure: Den ikke-lovgivningsmæssige procedure Forhandling: 15.12.2004
His group believed there were sufficient safeguards to stop negotiations in the event of major human rights problems, but the chance to prove that Islam and democracy could go together should not be passed up.
Den tyske PDS'er Feleknas UCA mindede om, at 20 millioner kurdere i Tyrkiet ønsker tyrkisk EU-medlemskab.
Andrew DUFF (ALDE, UK) stated that it is essential for the sake of stability as well as morality that we keep faith with Turkey.
EU skal ikke være bange for Ankara.
If we agree to start accession negotiations we should see them through.
Tyrkiet vil danne bro mellem Europa og de islamiske lande, sluttede UCA.
Turkey, he said, has enjoyed a privileged partnership through the Customs Union and also NATO for several years.
Bulgarien synes på vej til at blive EU-med-lempr. 1. januar 2007.
André BRIE (DE) for the GUE/NGL group stated that a large majority of his group was in favour of eventual Turkish accession.
Det fremgår af en be tænkning af den britiske konservative Geoffrey VAN ORDEN, hvori EP fastslår,
However, his group was particularly concerned about the fact that amendments proposing measurable criteria to monitor Turkey's progress had been defeated in the Foreign Affairs Committee.
• at Bulgarien lever op til "Københavnskriterierne", at landet på en succesfuld måde har reformeret sit administrative og juridiske system, har etableret en velfungerende markedsøkonomi ligesom man har gjort en indsats for at løse mindretallenes problemer i Bulgarien.
The question of possible Turkish accession "was more than a question of philosophy and should be based on tangible concrete steps made by Turkey to modernise its constitution." His group, he said, opposed the idea of a privileged partnership.
Med tyrkisk optagelse i EU, ved vi ikke, hvor grænsen for Europa går, og vi vil ikke længere kunne forstå Europas væsen.
He questioned whether Turkey could truly be defined as a secular state.
EP vedtog Van Orden-betænkningen med 527 stemmer mod 19 - medens 21 undlod at stemme. Man ser ingen forhindringer for en hurtig underskrivelse af tiltrædelsestraktaten med Bulgarien - helst i det tidlige forår 2005.
Mr Duff stated that Jacques TOUBON (EPPED, FR) and his friends propose that Turkey be brought into a privileged partnership enjoying some aspects of membership, but without political representation and without the duty to respect European law and the principle of loyal cooperation.
Udenrigsudvalget fastslår, at datoen for Bulgariens tiltrædelse af EU ikke bør knyttes sammen med noget andet ansøgerland - læs Rumænien.
This is madness: it is bad for Turkey, subversive of the European Union and it displays a vast and astonishing absence of self-confidence inside this Parliament for European projects.
Man vil have den udemokratiske forfatning vedtaget gennem en udemokratisk fordeling af midler til oplysning. Bonde pegede på, at vi forlanger af Ukraine, at de skal have frie og fair valg, men gælder det ikke også for os selv? spurgte Bonde.
He trusted that the European Council will follow the spirit of the Constitution, which requires a third of Member States to trigger such a mechanism and not simply a single truculent member.
Der er dog stadig behov for at gøre en større indsats for at reformere retsvæsenet og den offentlige forvaltning, og det samme gælder korruption, menneskehandel m.m.
Christianity is about being open and welcoming to people. Concluding Mr Ryan stated that we should be open and welcoming and let these negotiations begin.
