For the EUL/NGL, Francis WURTZ (F) regretted that the Summit seemed to have subscribed to the Aznar/Blair line, leaving the economy to the vagaries of market forces and thus risking an increase in people affected by social exclusion.
Den fungerende rådsformand, den portugisiske udenrigsminister Jaime GAMA, betegnede top­mødet i Kairo som en succes, der var resultatet af fire års forarbejde.
Simon MURPHY (PES, West Midlands) on the other hand, in welcoming the successful Summit, said the challenge now was to turn rhetoric into action and Parliament had a key role to play here, especially on the legislative front and in the area of e-commerce.
Topmødet udgør en mulighed for at styrke det strategiske samarbejde mellem EU og de afrikanske lande, sagde han.
It was also important to modernise social welfare and ensure that Europe was an area providing highly skilledjobs. jobs.
Udvandring, flygtninge og fremmedhad er eksempler på andre emner, man vil tage op i forbindelse med mødet.
Edward McMILLAN-SCOTT (EPP/ED, Yorkshire and the Humber) considered that there had been a sea-change in the attitude to a global society with a new 'e' world sweeping aside the old world of the socialists.
Endelig er de afrikanske landes udvikling sat på dagsordenen.
"We have moved from Henry the Navigator to Netscape the Navigator", he said.
Han henviste ligeledes til, at det blev besluttet, at der på højt plan skal udarbejdes en rapport om gældssanering.
He looked forward to genuine action from the Commission in this area and for it to display a "light touch" rather than the heavy regulation of the past.
Der er enighed om, at mødet skal være en tilbage­vendende begivenhed. Fra afrikansk side har man ønsket, at det afholdes hvert tredje år.
Stephen HUGHES (PES, North East) welcomed the Lisbon conclusions and the potential that they offered and he looked forward to follow-up action.
EU har foreslået, at man indretter sig med en fleksibel opfølgningsplan. Desuden er det foreslået, at mødet næste gang afholdes i Europa.
He stressed in particular the importance of social inclusion and wanted action to come from the High Level Group on Social Protection.
I den forbindelse blev der opnået enighed om, at de afrikanske lande skulle arbejde for en forbedring af menneskerettighederne også vedrørende kvindernes situation.
He was also disappointed by the EPP stance on the Summit conclusions which, he said, did not recognise the benefits of the social market.
Der blev også diskuteret bekæmpelse af AIDS, berettede rådsformanden.
Eryl McNALLY (PES, Eastern) was also pleased with the Summit's conclusions, especially in the field of research and innovation.
I forbindelse med afholdelsen af mødet er der en række områder, der giver anledning til problemer.
This had been an area of significant under-achievement in the EU up until now, she said.
De vil formentlig blive behandlet i forbindelse med formøder den 2. april inden selve mødet mellem EU og de afrikanske stater.
She stressed the importance of developing both a deeper and wider knowledge that would reach those who had been partly disenfranchised, such as women and old people.
Desuden blev de relativt høje militærudgifter diskuteret. Endelig
In conclusion, she called for new and sustainable technologies.
/..^v£/*x°v,#vsk blev det vedtaget, at det næste topmøde skal afholdes i Europa i 2003, sluttede Jaime GAMA.
Roger HELMER (EPP/ED, East Midlands) welcomed the fact that the EU at the Summit seemed to have rediscovered enterprise.
Kommissæren bemærkede, at tilbageførsel af kulturgods blev også taget op.
However, he was dismayed by what he saw as the attack by President Nicole Fontaine, his fellow EPP member, on "the very foundation of European capitalism" in her speech at the Summit.
Det samme skete med menneskerettighederne og kvindernes situation, der blev taget med i erklæringen fra mødet.
Her ideas would increase unemployment and hurt prosperity.
Poul NIELSON beklagede, at mødet i det såkaldte civil society forum ikke kunne afholdes i Kairo, men måtte afholdes i Lissabon.
Her arguments went beyond socialism, he said, and were "pure Marxism".
Han takkede det portugisiske og nigerianske formandskab, fordi de sørgede for at fordele beslutningerne fra mødet i Lissabon til mødedeltagerne i Kairo.
While they might have been appropriate in the Soviet Union of the 1960s, he remarked, these comments were totally out of place in the 21st century and he condemned them absolutely.
Topmødet i Kairo viste, at der er en del politiske problemer, der skal bearbejdes henholdsvis i Europa og i Afrika og i fællesskab, sagde kommissær Poul NIELSON.
Parliament subsequently failed to agree a resolution on the outcome of the Lisbon Summit.
I løbet af mødet blev den store gæld og bilaterale problemer diskuteret, heriblandt Afrikas fremtidige rolle i verdens handelsorganisationen WTO.

Kommissæren bemærkede at tilbageførsel af kulturgods blev også taget op.
EU-Africa summit Council statement and resolution (B5-0327/2000)
Han vurderede, at Fællesskabet har et godt forhold til Afrika. EU støtter således de afrikanske lande med over 2 mia. euro om året.
Tuesday 11 April - Opening the debate for Council, Mr Jaime GAMA announced that the Cairo Summit was the result of 4 years of diplomatic work and that it had set underway a dialogue that would allow a new dimension in Euro-African relations.
Vi venter stadigvæk på, at nogle af G-7 landene gør noget tilsvarende, sagde han.
The level of representation had been very high, with 55 African and 3 European Heads of State.
Han takkede det portugisiske og nigerianske formandskab, fordi de sørgede for at fordele beslutningerne fra mødet i Lissabon til mødedeltagerne i Kairo.
In the sphere of economics, there had been agreement that there was a need to define policies that would allow Africans to benefit from the world economy.
EU har en fordel af den regionale integration, og det samme skal Afrika have, understregede Poul NIELSON.
The target of cutting the level of world poverty by 50 percent by 2015 was reasserted.
Et bedre partnerskab mellem EU-landene og Afrika, to regionale grupper, bør føre til en succes, sagde han.
A report on the issue of indebtedness would be prepared for ministers.
De emner der skal tages op, skal ikke kun gælde aftalerne med AVS-landene og den nye aftale med Sydafrika, men hele Afrika, påpegede kommissæren.
There was agreement on the need to promote and respect human rights and to abolish discrimination and to develop good governance, particularly by fighting bribery and corruption.
Topmødet kan være med til at give det daglige samarbejde en bedre kvalitet både i bredden og dybden, sluttede Poul NIELSON.
Furthermore, illegally deposited funds should be returned to the countries of origin while the importance of sustainable development was also stressed.
Vi venter stadigvæk på, at nogle af G-7 landene gør noget tilsvarende, sagde han.
In conclusion, he noted the second Euro-African Summit would be held in Europe in 2003.
EU har en fordel af den regionale integration, og det samme skal Afrika have, understregede Poul NIELSON.
For the Commission, Poul NIELSON underlined the EU's deep and broad relationship with Africa and noted the EUR 2.5bn that the Union spent each year on aid to development.
Et bedre partnerskab mellem EU-landene og Afrika, to regionale grupper, bør føre til en succes, sagde han.
Europe wanted to see Africa as an equal partner and he believed that it enjoyed comparative advantages from which Africa could benefit.
De emner der skal tages op, skal ikke kun gælde aftalerne med AVS-landene og den nye aftale med Sydafrika, men hele Afrika, påpegede kommissæren.
Mr Nielson also underlined other building blocks towards a successful EU-African relationship such as the EU-ACP Convention, the EU South Africa Trade Agreement and the MEDA process.
Man kan godt undre sig over, at der aldrig har fundet et sådant møde sted før, men når man så hører, at det har taget fire år at arrangere det, så er det måske ikke så mærkværdigt, sagde Lone DYBKJÆR (Det Radikale Venstre), der talte på vegne af ELDR-gruppen.
While expressing disappointment that Parliament had not been involved in the process, John CORRIE (EPP/ED, West Midlands) welcomed the Cairo plan and hoped it could be turned into action.
Topmødet kan være med til at give det daglige samarbejde en bedre kvalitet både i bredden og dybden, sluttede Poul NIELSON.
On debt relief he wanted to see the funds that had been saved going to better healthcare and other humanitarian purposes - not arms.
Topmødet i Kairo viste, at der er en del politiske problemer, der skal bearbejdes henholdsvis i Europa og i Afrika og i fællesskab, sagde kommissær Poul NIELSON.
There was an onus for African governments to do work in this area as well, he said.
Lone DYBKJÆR mente, at det afhænger af øjnene, der ser, hvorvidt der kommer noget ud af et sådant møde.
He noted that only 6 percent of African trade was actually within Africa and that there was therefore a huge potential for increase.
Hvis man som udgangspunkt har de katastrofer, den hungersnød, de konflikter og de AEDS-problemer Afrika står over for, så er der unægteligt langt fra Lissabon-topmødet til Kairo, og så kom der nok ikke helt så meget ud af det, bemærkede hun. Det syntes hun heller ikke, at man kunne forvente, for det var jo ikke meningen med mødet.
Mr Come also emphasised that peace building must be at the top of the agenda with demobilisation and a ban on soldiers under the age of 18.
Generellesager rettighedsområdet hænger sammen med den fælles udenrigs­ og sikkerhedspolitik.
Glenys KINNOCK (PES, Wales) argued that poverty eradication must begin with human rights.
Kommissionen opfordres til at yde bistand til bekæmpelsen af AIDS og malaria og til at gøre det lettere at få lægemidler i Afrika ved at yde støtte til udviklingsprogrammer på lægemiddelområdet med hjælp fra EU.
Quoting the words of the late Tanzanian President Julius NYERERE, Mrs Kinnock declared that "education is not a way of escaping poverty, it is a way of fighting it". She concluded by lamenting the fact that one third of the men and two thirds of the women were illiterate.
Meningen med mødet var, at man skulle starte en dialog mellem EU og de afrikanske lande, fortsatte Lone DYBKJÆR. Hun vurderede, at man nu har etableret en sådan dialog, der til tider har været rimelig robust med sine demonstrationer og sine skænderier eller i hvert fald markeringer.
While stressing the importance of the Summit, Caroline LUCAS (Greens/EFA, South East) was unhappy that neither the Parliament nor the ACP Joint Assembly had been involved.
Hun mente, at både afrikanerne og EU lærer af den type af dialoger.
In addition, the non-participation of civil society and NGOs was also a missed opportunity, she said.
Det er også en forudsætning for, at vi ikke risikerer en bitterhed fra visse afrikanske landes side over den historie, de har måttet gennemleve bl.a. sammen med lande i Europa, understregede hun.
She would also have like to have seen more concrete action in such areas as trade, and she was unhappy with the "conspicuous absence" of the issue of commodity prices from the agenda.
EU og medlemsstaterne opfordres til at stramme adfærdskodeksen for våbeneksport og at gøre forhøjelsen af udviklingsstøtten afhængig af foranstaltninger mod oplagring og spredning af våben i afrikanske lande.
Bashir KHANBHAI (EPP/ED, Eastern) lamented the fact that ordinary people in most African countries were poorer today that when those countries became independent.
I samme forbindelse opfordres alle EU's og OUA's medlemsstater til at ratificere den nye FN­protokol om børnesoldater og fastlægge en minimumsalder på mindst 18 år for frivillig rekruttering.
This was due to such scourges as greedy rulers and natural disasters, he said.
Parlamentet erkender den helt afgørende rolle, de menneskelige ressourcer spiller for en bæredygtig udvikling i Afrika.
Desperate people could not think of democracy and human rights, he stressed, and were an easy prey to evil political manipulation.
Der bør derfor udformes nationale politikker for basisuddannelsen­, hvor man især bør prioritere unge piger og uddannelse inden for de naturvidenskabelige fag og teknologi samt fremme af lokal teknologi.
They needed to be taught to be self reliant by being given technology transfers, he concluded.
Hun regnede med, at slutdokumentet bliver et vigtigt referencepunkt i forbindelse med det videre samarbejde mellem EU og Afrika.
Replying for Council Mr Gama regretted that the African side had not responded to many initiatives, put forward by the EU.
Det skyldes efter hendes opfattelse, at dokumentet for det første er et vigtigt signal i sig selv om et øget samarbejde mellem EU og Afrika, at Afrika ikke er glemt.
He underlined that the EU was now acting on its commitment to open up access to its markets to products from less developed countries by 2005 - this was a very positive step.
For det andet understreger dokumentet, at demokrati, politik og økonomi hænger sammen, og at Afrikas integration og udvikling derfor skal ses som en helhed, og ikke noget stykkevis og delt.
The conference represented the first time that the EU would treat the issue of indebtedness in a global context, he noted, the wherewithal now existed to make concrete progress, he concluded.
Om det så efterfølgende kan videreføres til konkrete resultater, afhænger selvfølgelig af vores politiske vilje, sluttede Lone DYBKJÆR.
Commissioner Nielson argued that although some might argue that the EU was not doing enough, it was still doing more than any other group of donors.
(12/4) Parlamentet vedtog et beslutningsforslag, hvori det glæder sig over afholdelsen af det første topmøde EU­Afrika i Kairo den 3.­4. april 2000 og håber, at dette initiativ vil bidrage til en ny dimension i de strategiske forbindelser mellem Afrika og EU.
The subsequent resolution welcomes the first EU-Africa summit and calls for an appropriate joint structure to be agreed to ensure the follow-up of the initiative.
(11/4) Kommissær Chris PATTEN redegjorde for to forslag vedrørende eksterne forbindelser.
However it also insists that the European Parliament and the ACP-EU Joint Assembly are fully involved in the future.
Det ene dokument er ifølge kommissæren ingen nydannelse, det drejer sig om støtte til valgobservation.
Among issues stressed in the resolution are human rights, the fight against poverty and increasing assistance to Africa.
Kommissionen foreslår, at der nedsættes en intern arbejdsgruppe, der i løbet af kort tid kan iværksætte " en hurtig indgriben".
Among the amendments adopted was one calling for a fully-fledged malaria vaccine programme and another underlined the need to support independent judiciaries.
Parlamentet peger på behovet for at sikre sammenhæng i EU's udviklingspolitik, navnlig på områderne fiskeri og landbrugseksport.
Tuesday 11 April - Updating Members on the Commission's external relations package, Chris PATTEN announced that a communication would shortly be published entitled "Election Observation and Assistance".
Samtidig opfordres EU og medlemsstaterne til at sikre, at interesserne og forpligtelserne på menneske­
This document would not present a radical new approach but would seek to bring order to an area where there had been many developments.
I forbindelse med Kairo­mødet blev der netop rejst kritik af den langsommelighed, der præger den hjælp, Kommissionen yder, fremhævede Chris PATTEN.
Turning then to the issue of the Rapid Reaction Facility, Mr Patten expressed his discontent with the problem of "cumbersome procedures", particularly for conflict prevention and crisis management.
Kommissæren gav udtryk for, at han var meget frustreret over denne situation, og han beklagede det i høj grad.
The underlying problem for this was structural and cultural and he argued that the Commission needed to do better.
Han understregede, at personalet ikke skal have skylden for denne situation.
The mechanisms being put in place for the Rapid Reaction Facility

would enable urgent operations that were restricted to nine months to be carried out in periods of crisis. Where longer term action was needed, the Rapid Reaction Facility would prepare the way for the normal mechanism of the EU to operate.
Kommissæren foreslog, at man indfører en hasteprocedure, der sikrer en øjeblikkelig indgriben i nødsituationer.
The facility would provide added value through means of speed and flexibility in order to overcome procedural hurdles.
Hasteproceduren kan benyttes i op til 9 måneder, hvorefter den skal afløses af andre instrumenter, sagde han.
The approach sought to get better mileage out of existing facilities, he stressed.
Thomas KLESTIL henviste til, at Østrig i de seneste årtier har modtaget og integreret henved 1 mio. mennesker, bl.a. som følge af de store flygtningestrømme fra Ungarn i 1956, fra Tjekkoslovakiet i 1968, og senest fra det tidligere Jugoslavien.
While the Commissioner recognised that sufficiënt funding was necessary, he emphasised the importance of not using up too many resources.
I dag bor der godt 800.000 udlændinge i Østrig, ca. 10% af den samlede befolkning.
He concluded by stressing that this represented a very workable solution.
Som østrigsk præsident ønskede han derfor at tilbagevise den uretfærdige kritik, der på det seneste er blevet rettet mod landet.
However, if after three years it were to become apparent that the facility was not needed - "nobody would be happier than me .
Kommissæren håber, at dette initiativ vil give den ovennævnte arbejdsgruppe den nødvendige smidighed, kompetence og redskaber, således at EU kan yde en effektiv indsats.
Parliament proposals for the IGC Consultation procedure (A5-0086/2000 - Dimitrakopoulos, Leinen)
Præsidenten var overbevist om, at det er i Parlamentets interesse at sikre en korrekt gennemførelse af arbejdet i de europæiske institutioner, herunder at sikre Østrigs fulde og uindskrænkede deltagelse i dette arbejde.
Wednesday 12 April - Opening the debate with his report setting out Parliament's practical proposals for the forthcoming IGC, Giorgos DIMITRAKOPOULOS (EPP/ED, GR) emphasised the major challenges facing the EU.
Det er så meget mere vigtigt i lyset af den kommende udvidelse og de institutionelle reformer, under stregede han.
He argued that democracy should be consolidated and reinforced in such areas as foreign policy and the common defence policy.
Initiativet vil betyde, at Kommissionens ressourcer udnyttes bedre.
Jo LEINEN (PES, D) reminded the House that the Helsinki Summit had set in train developments that would lead to a doubling of the EU.
Budgetrammen er fastsat til 30 mio. euro i år og 40 mio. euro til næste år, sluttede Chris PATTEN.
This would require radical reform and a switchover in many areas from unanimity to majority voting.
Tale af Republikken Østrigs præsident
He also wanted Parliament to be able to call a Commission President to account.
Thomas KLESTIL henviste til den regeringserklæring, som han har ladet deltagerne i den østrigske regeringskoalition underskrive, og som forpligter regeringen til at respektere de grundlæggende værdier i EU.
Mr Leinen also expressed his support for a statute for European parties and for there to be European lists in future Euro elections.
Han vurderede, at Centraleuropa med sin fælles baggrund og fælles historie kan blive hjertestykket i dette nye Europa.
This would be the basis for stability, he said.
(12/4) Parlamentsformanden, Nicole FONTAINE, bød Østrigs præsident, Thomas KLESTIL, velkommen.
There was broad agreement across the committees that the IGC presented a momentous challenge for the EU.
Hun mindede om de kraftige reaktioner som følge af den østrigske regeringsdannelse tidligere på året og fremhævede, at Parlamentet lægger den største vægt på de grundlæggende værdier i EU, herunder bekæmpelsen af racistiske og fremmedhadske ideologier.
Elmar BROK (EPP/ED, D) wanted Parliament to be able to monitor the common foreign and security policy, while recognising that otherwise this area was primarily the task of the executive.
Østrig vil ikke på nogen måde afvige fra sin hidtidige demokratiske linje, der er baseret på de europæiske værdier, understregede han.
Ana Isabel PALACIO DEL VALLE LERSUNDI (EPP/ED, E) urged a thorough reform of the European Court of Justice with all citizens having a right of appeal.
Parlamentsformanden understregede, at det er bekendt, at den østrigske præsident var stærk modstander af den pågældende regeringsdannelse, og at han gjorde alt, hvad der stod i hans magt, for at finde en alternativ politisk løsning.
She also wanted Parliament to have full access to the courts in cases where it objected to legislation. Karl von WOGAU (EPP/ED, D) was one of a number of speakers to stress the need to extend co-decision.
Da det ikke var muligt, afkrævede han den nye regering en bindende erklæring, baseret på tilslutning til de grundlæggende værdier i EU.
He also underlined the importance of the "social market economy" and wanted it to be included in an appropriate place in the Treaty.
På denne baggrund gav parlamentsformanden ordet til den østrigske præsident.
Willy DE CLERCQ (ELDR, Β) was another speaker to emphasise the need for reform of the Court of Justice.
Jeg anmoder derfor om Parlamentets støtte til at finde en vej ud af den ulyksalige situation, der er opstået med de fjorten øvrige medlemsstaters sanktioner over for Østrig, sluttede Thomas KLESTIL.
Joan COLOMI NAVAL (PES, E) emphasised the need to avoid blockages in the budgetary procedure and for reform of the "own resources" system, with Parliament being more involved.
Nicole FONTAINE forsikrede, at Parlamentets årvågenhed i denne sammenhæng ikke er rettet
Elly PLOOIJ-VAN GORSEL (ELDR, NL) called for a more coherent energy policy and for a set of safety rules for nuclear reactors.
Thomas KLESTIL indledte med at bekræfte Østrigs stærke tilslutning til EUs værdifællesskab. Vi skal beslutsomt imødegå enhver, der forsøger at
Bartho PRONK (EPP/ED, NL) stressed the need for coordination of tax policies within the EU and called for taxation coordination measures to be adopted in codecision with Parliament and by means of QMV

in Council.
Kommissionen mod det østrigske folk som sådan, men er baseret på det forhold, at EU er et værdifællesskab. Begivenheder i ét land kan ikke gå upåagtet hen i de øvrige, sagde hun.
Friedrich-Wilhelm GRAEFE zu BARINGDORF (Greens/EFA, D)called for codecision to be extended to agricultural policy, while Brigitte LANGENHAGEN (EPP/ED, D) made the same call for the fisheries sector.
Kommissær Chris PATTEN udtrykte sin frustration over endnu en gang at være vidne til en hungerkatastrofe i Afrika.
Anna KARAMANOU (PES, GR) underlined the need to boost democracy and efficiency and called the Amsterdam Treaty a step in the right direction.
