Samtidig beklagede kommissionsformanden, at antallet af medlemmer i Parlamentet er blevet brugt som en udligningsvariabel for at finde en balance i Rådet.
President Chirac in response agreed that it was necessary to listen more to civil society and that globalisation could bring dangers in its wake.
Med hensyn til Nicetraktaten udtrykte kom missionsformanden sin taknemlighed over for den indsats, der er ydet af kommissær Michel BARNIER i samarbejde med Parlamentets repræsentanter.
Winding up the debate, President Chirac stressed that he understood Parliament's desire to push forward its vision but that members had to accept reality.
Han mindede om, at han havde lovet at give en ærlig vurdering af de op nåede resultater.
Things could not be allowed to grind to a halt and it was therefore important to avoid obstacles.
I den forbindelse betegnede han det som et kvantitativt fremskridt, at der nu er yderligere 30 kapitler, som skal be handles under proceduren med kvalificeret flertal.
Certain leaders at Nice had particular concerns and these had to be addressed.
Til gengæld er der kvalitativt ikke sket fremskridt med hensyn til bl.a. sociallovgivningen og skatteområdet.
Putting a block on enlargement by not reaching agreement would have been a worst case scenario.
Her løb man ind i kraftig modstand fra visse medlemsstater.
He believed that the agreement represented real progress.
Kommissionsformanden udtrykte sin skuffelse over afgørelsen vedrørende stemmevægte i Rådet.
This only showed that there would be serious strains on this method of negotiation in an EU of 27 or 28 states.
For det andet er beslutningsprocessen blevet end nu mere kompliceret og dermed uigennemskuelig for almindelige borgere.
Dimitrios TSATSOS (PES, GR) who was one of Parliament's representatives at Nice, stressed that the Summit had not achieved the desired results. He welcomed progress in the
Parlamentet har mere indflydelse, og som er mere gennemsigtig, sagde han.
He also noted that codecision had been extended in some areas and there was now more clarity on the status of European political parties.
Han vurdere de, at Parlamentets ja eller nej til Nicetraktaten helt vil afhænge af dette.
However, the Treaty displayed more faults than merits, he concluded.
Han slutte de med at understrege, at EU skal åbne sine døre for ansøgerlandene, men at man så også må finde en beslutningsprocedure, der gør den i stand til dette.
He was particularly concerned that the extension of QMV had not led to an equivalent extension of codecision.
Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (PSE, E) be mærkede, at mødet i Nice er overstået. Nu skal Europa-Parlamentet til at undersøge teksten fra mødet.
He was unhappy that the Charter had not become part of the Treaties and that the voting procedures in Council were too complex.
Han opfordrede i øvrigt Rådet til at få den vedtagne tekst på Internettet hurtigst muligt.
Finally Mr Tsatsos argued that the dilemma for Parliament was the post-Nice scenario and he feared that this would be unacceptable.
Kommissionsformanden betegnede afslutningen af topmødet i Nice som en succes i sig selv.
Edward McMILLAN-SCOTT (EPPED, Yorkshire and the Humber) argued that the draft Treaty was unacceptable.
Der er i det mindste ingen levninger til bage som efter Amsterdam, sagde han.
He was particularly unhappy at the lack of information available.
Derfor ønskede han at få traktaten ratificeret hurtigst muligt for at få åbnet døren for de nye med lemsstater.
As a result, he said, he was unsure whether it represented " a Pandora's box for Commission activism or a coffin for European democracy".
Han erkendte, at mange medlemsstater havde forfulgt snævre nationale interesser på topmødet.
He was particularly unhappy with the lack of transparency and the illogicality inherent in the new reweighting of votes.
Til gengæld betegnede han den nuværende metode for ændring af traktaterne som utidssvarende.
Mr McMillan-Scott was also unhappy at the prospect of greater bureaucracy in the EU and he wondered whether it was really necessary for enlargement that there should be 30 new areas falling under QMV.
Han glædede sig over, at mødet i Nice på nogle områder var en succes med hensyn til at fastlægge betingelserne for Fællesskabets arbejde fremover. Nu er det et spørgsmål om at komme i gang med arbejdet, understregede han.
He was also displeased that there had been no reform of the CAP or development policies and finally he noted that there was no role for the European Parliament under enhanced cooperation.
Kommissionsformanden mindede om, at den ne generation har fået en enestående chance for at samle det europæiske kontinent.
Replying for Council, Pierre MOSCOVICI argued that Nice represented the best possible conclusion in view of the current state of Europe.
Nice traktaten udgør et kortere skridt, end jeg havde håbet, men det er et skridt i den rigtige ret ning, og derfor beder jeg Parlamentet om at støtte dens vedtagelse, sluttede Romano PRODI.
He considered that the consequences of not reaching agreement would have been incalculable. On the contrary, he said, he noted the satisfaction of the candidate countries.
Hans-Gert POETTERING (PPE-DE, D) gjorde opmærksom på, at man inden Nice sagde, at mødet ville blive historisk, men denne betegnelse kunne hans gruppe ikke til slutte sig.
He was content that there was now a weakening of a blocking minority and he believed that this had created a balanced system.
Han kritiserede regeringskonferencen for at være foregået under alt for hektiske og rodede omstændigheder, hvor det efter hans opfattelse var tydeligt, at regeringscheferne nåede både deres fysiske og psykiske grænser.
He reminded the House that criticisms of the Council could also be interpreted as criticism of the elected governments which represented the citizens of Europe.
Den slags møder må ikke gentage sig, sagde han. Med hensyn til udvidelsen ønskede han, at de første nye lande skal deltage ved valget til Europa-Parlamentet i 2004.
There was a need, he concluded, to strike a balance between the EU institutions in order that they may all work together for the European ideal.
Enrique BARÓN CRESPO fremhævede imidlertid, at resultatet af regeringskonferencen i al for høj grad er præget af kompromiser, der gør det svært at træffe beslutninger om resultatet.
Christopher BEAZLEY (EPPED, Eastern), after complaining about the absence of a representative from the French Presidency to listen to the debate raised the question of what had actually been achieved in Nice.
Efter hans opfattelse har de store lande således fået mulighed for at nedlægge veto med de afstemningsregler, man er blevet enige om.
The British "no surrender" approach was very much a negative position, he said at a time when leadership was badly needed in Europe to oversee a successful enlargement.
Det må betragtes som en til bagegang, understregede han.
He hoped the Commission and Parliament could fill this vacuum.
Han frem hævede dog, at der må nogle kompromiser til, før EU er klar til udvidelserne. Endelig glædede han sig over, at der med hensyn til be slutningerne vedrørende det sociale område, BSE og sikkerhed til søs er opnået positive resultater.
Arie OOSTLANDER (EPPED, NL) Report on the implementation of the Common Strategy of the European Union on Russia Doc: A5-0363/2000 Procedure: Own initiative report Debate: 12.12.00 Vote: 13.12.00
For Hans-Gert POETTERING var mødet i Nice kendetegnet af forskellene på de små og store lande.
Richard CORBETT (PES, Yorkshire and the Humber) argued that previous Treaties such as Maastricht and Amsterdam had been unsatisfactory but at least they had been a step forward.
Der blev udvist storartet opførsel fra små lande og smålig opførsel fra store lande, sagde han.
Nice represented a step backwards, he believed.
Alt i alt var han af den op fattelse, at mødet i Nice kaster mere skygge end lys over Unionens fremtid.
In particular, he considered that the new system for QMV, with the creation of a triple threshold, had made things even more complicated.
Blandt andet kritiserede han, at der ikke er sket en styrkelse af Europa-Parlamentets medbestemmelse.
The threshold should have been lowered, he argued, instead it seemed to have been raised.
Francis WURTZ (GUE/NGL, F) var lettet over, at der trods alt blev indgået en aftale i Nice, fordi konferencen ellers dels ville have stoppet det europæiske projekt, dels ville være en fiasko, der kunne bruges i unionsmodstandernes favør.
The Common Strategy should be regarded as a unique opportunity to enter into a genuine long-term relationship with Russia and to strengthen common values, states the resolution tabled by Arie OOSTLANDER (EPPED, NL) that was adopted by 491 votes to 19 with 35 abstentions.
Men han mente, at som det var nu, er vejen stadig åben.
However there is some criticism too of certain Russian actions, notably over Chechnya.
Nice var ifølge Patrick COX EU's test inden udvidelsen. Han var af den opfattelse, at regeringskonferencen som form har nået sin grænse for, hvad den evner.
Among other items the House wants EU visa policies to be relaxed to make it easier for Russian students to study in the Union.
Han kaldte mødet i Nice for et show med store vanskeligheder, og dette er efter hans me ning ikke en måde for Europa at arbejde på.
It supports President Putin's tax reforms and his efforts to restore the authority of the state.
Der må ske ændringer nu, sagde han. Angående stemmevægtene havde han bidt mærke i, at man snakkede om blokeringer i stedet for fremme af effektiviteten, altså brugte negative udtryk i stedet for positive.
There is a plea for a proper balance between the legislative and executive powers, while the resolution stresses the need to crack down on organised crime and corruption which is "endemic... and creates obstacles to Russia's economic development".
Han mente, at der i Nice blev diskuteret ganske få væsentlige ting, men at der er meget mere relevante spørgsmål at tage fat på, f.eks. borgernes identifikation med Europa, effektiv adgang til oplysninger og endelig Chartret om Grundlæggende Rettigheder, som han syntes er blevet fejet ud til siden under mødet i Nice.
The House therefore supports a "double track strategy" of collaborating with Russia in order to strengthen the rule of law and democratic structures of state, while whenever necessary, explicitly condemning human rights violations and the disproportionate use of force, as in the case of Chechnya.
Han anerkendte dog de fremskridt, der er sket på områder som doping, sikkerhed til søs og fødevarer. Francis WURTZ mente, at regeringskonferencen som form er nået til vejs ende og betegnede slutteligt mødet i Nice som en sjælløs handel mellem landene.
In particular the resolution argues that no purely military solution to the Chechen conflict exists, and that war criminals should be brought to justice.
Efter hans opfattelse er det for første gang i forbindelse med en regeringskonference gået tilbage for Europa-Parlamentets rolle i samarbejdet.
There is particular support for the Northern Dimension (co-operation with Northwest Russia) which, it is argued, has been underused.
Resultatet er, at man denne gang, har fået flere medlemmer og færre beføjelser, sagde han.
Furthermore the Kaliningrad enclave should become a pilot region for crossborder cooperation.
Charles PASQUA (UEN, F) beskyldte det franske formandskab for at sætte alt ind på, at mødet i Nice skulle blive en succes af interne nationale årsager.
Among the amendments that were adopted is one that expresses concern about the case of the journalist Grigori Pashko who is to be tried for espionage and high treason because of his reports on the dumping of nuclear wastes by the Russian Navy in the Sea of Japan.
Han forsatte med at konstatere, at man ikke skal glemme, at de fleste borgere er imod Unionen.
There is a call for the Commissioner in charge of humanitarian operations to visit Chechnya without delay in order to assess the needs of the civilian population in terms of aid.
I den sammenhæng beklagede han, at offentligheden i stigende grad bliver udsat for manipulation af medier ne. Topmødet er et godt eksempel herpå, understregede han.
Finally emphasis is laid on the importance of Russia as a partner in the Balkans, and it is called to play a constructive role in the development and stabilisation ofthat region.
Det understreger, at der er er noget galt med metoden, samtidig med at de nationale regeringer er meget forsigtige, når man tænker europæisk. Han sluttede med at betone, at det er nødvendigt med en folkelig debat om målet med Unionen.

Taleren fremhævede, at Charteret er blevet lanceret som en triumf, uden at folket er blevet spurgt. I den forbindelse er det tankevækkende, at den tyske og franske tekst ikke er fuldstændig enslydende.
The House believes that the EU's Tacis support programme for Russia should be geared towards closer co-operative partnership rather than assistance, and wants it to reinforce support for the achievement of a state based fully on the rule of law - partly by training civil servants in the field of justice and home affairs. It should also help vulnerable groups.
Han fortsatte med en betragtning om, at de beslutninger der blev truffet vedrørende det sociale Europa og sikkerhed til søs er uden reelt indhold.
The resolution calls for revision of Russian criminal law on money laundering and a more effective implementation of legislation in this area.
Nu hvor køreplanen mellem medlemslandene og Unionen er blevet kortlagt, skal man være meget opmærksom på, at fundamentet for Unionen vakler uden befolkningernes støtte, advarede han.
The EU is also urged to work with Russia to eliminate nuclear hazards - particularly on efforts to decommission obsolete nuclear submarines.
Ole KRARUP vurderede, at Nicetraktaten indebærer forstærket samarbejde, stormagtsdominans, rettighedscharter, demokratiovervågning og militærudbygning.
The resolution that was adopted by 510 votes to 7 with 22 abstentions welcomes the significant progress made by Croatia in signing up to international agreements.
Efter hans me ning indebærer Nicetraktaten et væsentlig skridt i retning af eliternes Europa og et til svarende skridt væk fra demokratiernes og folkets Europa.
It also welcomes the opening at the Zagreb summit of negotiations to conclude a stabilisation and association agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Croatia.
Han gjorde opmærksom på, at der i realiteten ikke er nogen, der forstår, hvordan EU systemet virker. Det har den konsekvens, at nationalstaterne i Europa vil blive omdannet til regioner i en centralistisk europæisk stat, understregede han.
actions of paramilitary groups in the refugee camps of West Timor and the resolution is calling for these forces to be disbanded.
I lyset af denne udvikling vil Charles PASQUA foreslå, at der bliver af holdt folkeafstemninger om disse forhold, når tiden er inde.
Finally the resolution supports further aid to Indonesia, provided that the process of démocratisation is continued and attempts by Jakarta are made to tackle the considerable problems that remain.
Hver eneste ny europæisk traktat er værre end den foregående, sagde han.
Indonesia - some grounds for optimism
Ansøgerlandene har jo ikke haft nogen indflydelse på Nice-traktaten, og det er EU, som dikterer alle vilkårene for udvidelsen, understregede han.
An amendment welcomes the overturning by the Supreme Court of the decision that former President Suharto was unfit to stand trial and calls for him to face a new trial.
Han fastslog, at alle de afgørende problemer med hensyn til udvidelsen, herunder integration af inkompatible sociale og økonomiske systemer, ikke er er kendt som problemer. EU og EU's politikker er ikke løsningen, men problemet, sluttede Ole KRARUP.

Doc: A5-0380/2000 Procedure : Budgetary procedure Debate: 12.12.00 Vote: 14.12.00
Efter rådsformandens opfattelse ville konsekvenserne have været uoverskuelige, hvis der ikke var opnået enighed i Nice.
There is cautious optimism about progress towards democracy in Indonesia in the resolution by Hanja MAIJ-WEGGEN (EPPED, NL) that was adopted by 501 votes to 4 with 25 abstentions It deals with a Commission communication on the issue of EU-Indonesia relations.
Udvidelsen ville være blevet truet, tilliden til EU rystet, og udviklingen sat år tilbage, mente han.
While considering that Indonesia is gradually establishing a political system based on the rule of law, there is concern at the disloyalty of some elements in the army, the action of paramilitary forces in Timor, the Laskar Jihad fighters in the Moluccas and the actions of forces from the old Suharto regime.
Der for følte han, at det franske formandskab med rette kan være tilfreds med at have gennem ført de institutionelle reformer efter Amsterdam. dam.
There is also a call for international support for the new government to help in the process of dismantling the civil and military privileges of the army.
Efter hans opfattelse er der tale om så massive og uhyrlige fordrejninger af virkelig heden, at man skal tilbage til historiens mest kendte propagandister for at finde rammende sammenligninger.
MEPs voted to add some €860m (payments) to Council's €91.7bn budget for 2001 and a further €436m to the €95.8bn figure for commitments to give final total of €92.57bn
Rådsformanden henviste til, at der for første gang siden 1957 er sket en reel reform af stemmevægtene i Rådet.
In particular the resolution expresses concern about the situation in the Moluccas where there are some 300 000 refugees and have been 5000 fatalities - more involvement by the international community cannot be ruled out here.
Sakharovprisen 2000 mandskabet kunne ikke tilfredsstille alle, og har derfor forsøgt at undgå at skuffe alle. Kompromiset er et udtryk for cirklens kvadratur, som efter hans opfattelse ikke er opnå et på bekostning af de små medlemsstater.
Commissioner Michaele SCHREYER, while welcoming the €60m for BSE drew attention to the fact that this new crisis meant in the EU's farm budget some €lbn of the €6bn spent on the beef sector would now be spent on destroying animals.
Europa-Parlamentet har i år valgt at give Sakharovprisen til den spanske borgerbevægelse "Basta Ya!"
In approving the administrative budget of the institutions, Parliament expressed its support for the Commission's plans for administrative reforms.
Rådsformanden erkendte, at udviklingen efter Nice står højt på Parlamentets dagsorden.
Debate in payments and €96.24bn in commitments.
Han var positiv over for spørgsmålet om at finde en anden fremgangsmåde med henblik på ændring af traktaten, men afviste at give Parlamentet en egentlig kontrolfunktion.
The increases mainly go in the programme to provide aid for the Balkans and in particular Serbia, where as a result of Council's agreement to provide the extra funding from the "flexibility reserve" the money earmarked for the Balkans now amounts to some 6839m in commitments and €490.5m in payments.
Også i denne forbindelse hæftede han sig ved de modstridende signaler fra medlemmerne, hvor nogle ønsker mere føderalisme og andre det stik modsatte.
Parliament also voted to increase funding for the structural funds by some €435m to bring a total of €31.57bn (payments) which MEPs believe will now be sufficient to provide for all the programmes planned.
Prisen er opkaldt efter Andrej Sakharov (1921-1989), fysiker, Nobels fredsprismodtager og en af de kendteste systemkritikere i det tidligere Sovjetunionen.
An extra €6.4m in payments and €12m in commitments was also added to the employment initiatives strategy to give new totals for 2001 of €127.6m (payments).
Rådsformanden glædede sig over, at EU nu kan komme videre med udvidelsen. Han af viste, at medlemsstaterne har forfulgt snævre nationale interesser.
Another one of Parliament's priorities, the MEDA programme of assistance to the Mediterranean countries saw an increase of €40m in commitments to bring new totals of €741.32m in commitments and €275m in payments.
Man har tværtimod for søgt at finde en fælles retning under hensyn tagen til borgernes interesser.
Other smaller increases were voted to the education, media and information budgets as were increases to several social programmes.
Formanden for Europa-Parlamentet, Nicole FONTAINE, indledte det højtidelige møde med at byde velkommen til repræsentanten for "Basta Ya!", professor Fernando SERVATER.
Mrs Haug expressed satisfaction that agreement had been reached with Council on a legal base for programmes to back equal opportunities and tackling discrimination as well as on the MEDIA programme to enable funding in these areas to go ahead,.
Rådsformanden mindede medlemmerne om, at kritik af Nicetraktaten også er en kritik af medlemsstaternes regeringer og de befolkninger, der har valgt dem.
Reporting for the Budgets Committee, Jutta HAUG (PES, D) came before the House to welcome the agreement reached with Council on the funding of next year's budget.
Det er ikke sådan, at en enkelt part sidder med løsningen på alle spørgsmål, mens alle andre blot er uldkræmmere, sagde han.
She particularly singled out the €400m earmarked for the 2001-2005 period to help SMEs create new jobs, especially in the high-tech area.
De tre institutioner skal fortsætte med at arbejde sammen for den euro pæiske tanke, sluttede Pierre MOSCOVICI.
Agreement with Council was also reached on the release of funds from the reserve to go towards the EU's foreign aid programme and also the Commission's administrative reforms.
"Basta Ya!" forener en række bevægelser mod terroristernes blinde kamp.
She drew attention to the Commission's commitment to brief MEPs on progress made in implementation of the reforms through the report to be produced by the middle of next year.
Parlamentet har ligeledes med fasthed fordømt terrorismen i Spanien i en beslutning, der blev underskrevet person ligt af 413 medlemmer fra alle politiske grupper. per.
Another important aspect of the agreement was Council's decision to release some extra €200m in commitments under the "flexibility instrument" to go towards redeveloping Serbia.
Kommissionsformanden Romano PRODI afrundede debatten med at takke for indlæggene fra Parlamentet.
Although Council refused to budge on raising the ceiling under the EU's financial perspective, it had shown a willingness to use surpluses for the aid programme for the Balkans and to accept an increase in payment appropriations for 2001 of 3.5% compared to the 2000 budget.
Han sagde, at han havde valgt at høre debatten til ende ikke for at være høflig, men fordi Europa skal opbygges i et fortsat samarbejde mellem Kommissionen og Parlamentet.
Reporting on the administrative budget of the institutions, Markus FERBER (EPPED, D) welcomed the introduction of a merit performance system for staff as a whole although he did express concern at the long delays in filling posts in the European Parliament's Secretariat.
