Den franske EDD'er William ABITBOL fandt det uheldigt, at EP's 2 repræsentanter på regeringskonferencen er fra samme land -nemlig Tyskland. Og Tyskland er også over repræsenteret i Europa-Parlamentet, hvilket er en af de farlige konsekvenser af Nice traktaten.
The European Parliament has launched an appeal to heads of state and government for them to continue their efforts and overcome their differences to reach a "balanced and positive" result during the meeting of the IGC on 13 December 2003, which is intended to lead to the approval of a final text of a Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe.
Abitbol mente, at regeringskonferencen fjerner sig endnu mere end Konventet fra de europæiske borgeres ønsker.
By adopting a joint resolution (by 346 votes in favour, to 106 against with 58 abstentions) on the work of the Intergovernmental Conference, presented by the EPP-ED, PES, ELDR and Greens/EFA Groups, MEPs express their concern that certain member states were calling into question the Convention's proposals for institutional reform.
Borgerne vender sig mod Europa og sætter spørgsmålstegn ved EU's opbygning, sluttede Abitbol.
They also highlight a number of points which they consider particularly important.
Det stille vand er dybt, og det er derfor bedre, at de demonstrerer, end at de tier, sluttede Wurtz.
MEPs also support the compromise reached by the Convention whereby the proposed Foreign Minister, as a full Vice-President of the European Commission presides over a joint administration, comprising Commission, Council and national officials, within the Commission, and chairs the Foreign Affairs Council.
Anslag mod demokratiet!
Qualified Majority
Det er dette demokratiske underskud EP skal udfylde. Og EP's budgetindflydelse er afgørende her.
The MEPs reiterate their support for the Convention's proposals on the definition of 'qualified majority.'
Finansministrene foreslår nemlig at koble EP fra budgetproceduren, og det er et pinligt anslag mod demokratiet. I dag har EP ind flydelse på både budgettet og finansperspektiverne.
There is a margin for compromise on the proposed figures, as long as this respects the principle of the double majority and the lowering of the threshold fixed at Nice.
Hun bad i den forbindelse den danske regering om at dementere, at man støtter finansministrenes forslag.
They welcome the Italian presidency's proposals to extend qualified majority voting to the Common Foreign and Security Policy.
Lovgivnings- og arbejdsprogrammet blev offentliggjort den 29. oktober 2003, og det dækker et år, der byder på store forandringer i EU: • Den 1. maj 2004 udvides EU med 10 nye medlemslande.
As to the future composition of the Commission post 2009, the long-running debate on one Commissioner per Member State or a smaller collegiate body was still unresolved.
Kort tid efter ventes det, at det udvidede EU's stats- og regerings chefer undertegner en ny forfatningstraktat, • I juni 2004 er der valg til Europa-Parlamentet og • Den 1. november 2004 tiltræder den nye Kommission.
Turning to QMV, some Member States favoured the Nice arrangement while others defended the so called "double majority symmetrical" system with either 50% or 60% of Member States voting in favour and 50% or 60% of population qualifying as a majority.
EP vedtog et forslag til beslutning vedrørende de finansielle bestemmelser i udkastet til traktat om en forfatning for Europa.
Mr Roberto ANTONIONE, Italian Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs, recalled that the Summit would be dedicated to reaching a final agreement on the Draft Constitution.
"Lissabon-processen" skal gennem føres, og det er nødvendigt med nye vækstinitiativer.
If this were to continue, it could "fundamentally undermine the future of the European Union."
Avancerede og grænseoverskridende Kommissionen har udarbejdet en liste over 56 projekter om transportnetværk, energi, telekommunikation ogforskning.
Progress in some fields of Justice and Home Affairs policy was more difficult and in some areas EU law would have to respect the particularities of national legal systems.
Det drejer sig om "avancerede"projekter, og om projekter, der har grænseoverskridende virkninger. Investeringer vil beløbe sig til 10 mia. euro årligt frem til 2010.
Difficulties also remained, remarked the Minister, between Member States who wanted to see a gradual introduction of majority voting on foreign policy, social security and tax issues and those Member States who wanted to maintain a veto.
Heraf vil 60 % være offentlig investering fra EU og de nationale budgetter - altså 6 mia. euro årligt frem til 2010.
On defence issues, the Minister welcomed the considerable progress, particularly with regard to the "mutual assistance clause, structural cooperation and the defence protocol setting out conditions for involvement in CFSP."
Dette svarer til 0,05 % af EU's BNP, og dette er en billig pris for at sætte gang i den europæiske økonomi.
The next Ministerial conference to be held on 8th December would help, he remarked, to resolve some outstanding issues.
Romano Prodi pegede på, at lovgivningsprogrammet for 2004 kun består af 73 nye forslag - hvilket er færre end i tidligere år.
On Justice and Home Affairs, the Minister welcomed the decision to set up a new Agency for Border Management.
Hovedprioriteten er at give det nye EU form.
On asylum, however, the Minister was disappointed that no agreement had been reached on minimum procedural rules, or on the status of refugees and subsidiary protection.
Det skal sikre, at udvidelsen bliver en succes og lægge den politiske grund for det nye finansperspektiv.
The Minister welcomed progress on a framework directive on fighting the trade in drugs.
Det skete i forbindelse med hans mundtlige fremlæggelse af EU-Kommissionens lovgivnings- og ar
As to the Council's Presidency, the idea of a 3country - 18 month EU presidency had received some support.
Eurostat og OLAF Prodi understregede, at de værste ting var foregået i Eurostat før 1999, og at der havde
There was also no agreement on the role of the new Foreign Minister with some Member States wanting
November II - 2003 man herefter fastlægger en tidsramme for hvornår de egentlige tiltrædelsesforhandlinger skal påbegyndes.
December I - 2003 report on the subject which will be produced next year.
Det havde - ifølge Prodi - betydet, at Kommissionen havde været ude af stand til at gribe ind - både administrativt og finansielt. Prodi fremlagde imidlertid en plan samme morgen i EP's budgetkontroludvalg, som bygger på fundamentale forandringer i reformen af Kommissionen, herunder
On the IGC, Mr Prodi said the Brussels meeting would show whether the new Convention method would bear fruit.
Endvidere vil man evaluere EU's stabilitetsmåbætninger, herunder bestræbelserne på at skabe en fælles asyl- og immigrationspolitik samt sikring af EU's ydre grænser.
Turning to accession negotiations, the Minister looked forward to the accession countries formally joining the Union but cautioned that, in some areas of the "aquis", there was still more work required.
Endelig skal målsætningen om at sikre vedvarende vækst i EU efterstræbes og herunder ønsker det italienske formandskab at diskutere hvorledes produktionen kan for stærkes og tilbagegang i industrien kan undgås. gås.
The Minister looked forward to Romania and Bulgaria's accession in 2007, but warned that the Commission would have to work on the financial impact of Bulgarian and Romanian accession on the Union.
"Ny ansvarligheds- og gennemskuelighedskultur" Perioden 2000-2003 må ses som en over gangsperiode, hvor en "ny ansvarligheds- og gennemskuelighedskultur" gradvist gennem føres i Kommissionen.
On Turkey, the Minister welcomed the institutional reform and mentioned that next year's assessment of Turkey's progress would be crucial.
Og Kommissionen har taget nogle skrappe beslutninger i sommer, hvor bl.a. Eurostats generaldirektør er blevet erstattet.
On Cyprus, the Minister outlined that the Council would like to see a resolution to the Cypriot problem before accession and this would "make Turkey's accession negotiations significantly easier".
Om OLAF - EU's antisvindelkontor - sagde Prodi, at den nuværende situation ikke er tilfredsstillende.
The Minister also stated that the Heads of State and Government would be discussing the Middle East including Iran and Iraq as well as addressing Javier SOLANA's paper on the EU's security strategy.
Men den juridiske ramme er ikke præcis nok om, hvorvidt den må videregive information til de institutioner eller personer, den er ved at undersøge, og det har været skadeligt for Eurostatsagen, sluttede Prodi.
Commission President, Romano PRODI told MEPs that the next European Council in Brussels comes at the end of an event filled year, and will make choices of vital importance for the future of Europe.
Stærk og beslutsom Kommission Formanden for socialistgruppen, spanieren Enrique BARÓN understregede, at det er nødvendigt med en stærk og beslutsom Kom mission indtil den fratræder ved udgangen af oktober 2004.
The meeting in Naples had made notable progress regarding structured cooperation on defence, but in other areas Mr Prodi saw the risk of retrograde steps towards an intergovernmental approach.
Barón manglede et svar fra Prodi om, hvordan man skal tilpasse stabilitets- og vækstpagten.
He said that weakening the role of a European Foreign Minister would weaken the chance for Europe to play a leadership role in the world.
Den britiske liberale Nicholas CLEGG er kendte, at det var fint med udvidelse, stabilitet og vækst, men der er ingen forbindelse mellem disse 3 prioriteter og Kommissionens konkrete lovgivningsforslag, hvilket han beklagede. klagede.
In the field of governance, he expressed disbelief that some governments were seeking to reinstate the veto in areas where it had been abolished by the Convention, such as trade policy.
2004: Et afgørende år for EU Rådets repræsentant italieneren Roberto ANTONIONE fremhævede en række centrale punkter ved EU-Kommissionens ar bejdsprogram for 2004.
He reminded the House that the Council will be preceded by a tripartite social summit organised at the European Commission.
Herunder sagde han, at 2004 bliver et afgørende år for EU, idet den nye forfatningstraktat skal underskrives, der skal være valg til Europa-Parlamentet og at udvidelsen bliver en realitet i juni 2004.
Involving the social partners is, he suggested, the best guarantee of success in any project aimed at improving growth and employment.
Afsæt Solbes! Den fri socialdemokrat Freddy BLAK, der talte på vegne af GUE-gruppen sagde, at Eurostat-sagen ikke gør, at vi vil afsætte Prodi-Kommissionen, men at vi vil have afsluttet sagen, så Kommissionen kan få arbejdsro.
This meeting will hear the results of the report on employment policy from the Task Force chaired by Wim Kok, former Prime Minister of the Netherlands, and will discuss the best ways of addressing changes in the world of work, adapting the workforce for the future and increasing investment in human capital.
Eurostatskandalen hænger over Kommissionen, og Prodi bør derfor afsætte
This will all inform the Commission's own
Topmøde i december Antonione sagde, at det italienske for mandskab vil prioritere, at før-tiltrædelsesfor-handlingerne med Bulgarien og Rumænien evalueres på EU's topmøde i december, og at
The Commission President argued that the draft Constitution is not about an ambitious new political project, it is a question of putting in place the instruments needed for any European project to be effective.
EP-Ugen den ansvarlige kommissær Pedro SOLBES.
The Week powers - it would not be possible to build support for a Constitution which Parliament would have rejected.
De fleste dokumenter mangler, så det er svært at sige noget om de ulovlige konti, som har været åbne indtil sidste år, og der er næsten intet gjort for at rydde op - også efter 1999.
I am certain that we shall pass on to future generations a Union that is not only larger and more influential but also better organised, more democratic and closer to its citizens. We should not settle for anything less."
Træd tilbage, Solbes! Jens-Peter BONDE fra JuniBevægelsen fast slog, at skandalen er, at regnskabssystemet gør det muligt, at der kan tages af kassen.
On the make-up of the Commission, Mr Prodi argued that solutions could be found to continue a collegiate approach even with all the Member States represented.
Hvem har ansvaret for, at 18 kontrakter er væk? - og hvor er bankudskrifterne for de hemmelige konti?, spurgte Bonde.
Regarding voting in the Council, he argued in favour of a double majority system requiring 50% of the Member States and 50% of the population.
Han fortsatte: - "Kære Prodi, du lovede "nul-tolerance" for svig.
The IGC might even decide on a system that was worse than the Nice one - that was indefensible for the Commission President.
Hvornår siger du til Solbes: - "Eurostat er dit ansvar. Træd tilbage!".
He reminded MEPs that the first referendums would follow six months after the IGC.
"Nul-tolerance" Freddy Blak understregede, at Santer-Kommissionen var faldet, fordi den ikke havde taget ansvar.
Elmar BROK (EPP-ED, D) thanked the Italian presidency for respecting its pledge to stick as closely as possible to the Convention's text.
Men der er en ny artikel i traktaten, som gør, at Prodi kan afsætte Solbes.
Regarding the decisions made in the ECOFIN Council on the Stability and Growth Pact, Mr Prodi said that there were serious procedural concerns.
Solbes har udvist passivitet og lige gyldighed - og det er også en forbrydelse.
The Member States had replaced an institutional approach with an intergovernmental one.
Vi er trætte af handlingsplaner, vi vil se resultater - og kulturen i Kommissionen skal ændres.
We cannot, he said, start applying the rules of the Treaties and the pact only where they are easy and convenient.
Der skal være "nul-tolerance" for svig, sluttede Blak.
He said the gravity of the situation could not be underestimated.
Spørgsmål til EU-Kommissionens formand Den danske venstremand, Ole B. SØRENSEN sagde, at det er positivt at EU-Kommissionen og Kommissionsformand Romano Prodi har taget ved lære af Euro statsagen, og i fremtiden vil gribe ind tidligere for at undgå lignende situationer.
"ƒ am hopeful that there will be progress elsewhere: the European Foreign Minister must be a member of the Commission and must be the President of the Foreign Affairs Council - this is the only way that makes any sense.
Kommissionen vil etablere en overvågningsenhed, der i fremtiden skal opfange signaler, der in dikerer mulig svindel.
I cannot understand how Foreign Ministers should have a problem with the notion of a foreign minister!
Ole B. Sørensen undrede sig dog over, hvorfor de mange sig naler på svindel, der har været i forbindelse med Eurostat, ikke er blevet opfanget, og stillede spørgsmålstegn ved dueligheden af en sådan overvågningsenhed.
Regarding the President for the European Council, we agreed to this on the basis that this would not impinge on the work of other institutions and this must be respected."
Hun mente, at miljøaspektet har fået en "Askepot-rolle" i EU, hvor man satser mere på motorveje, lufthavne og broer.
The Stability Pact and budget discipline were an essential part of the economic union.
Medlemslandene skal tvinges til at overholde "Kyotoprotokollen", for ellers sker der ikke noget. Frassoni efterlyste en politik efter WTO-mødet i Cancun/Mexico, og spurgte om, hvad der egentlig er sket med "Millenium-målsætningen ?
He had been critical of the Pact in the past, and while it should adapt to meet new circumstances, this must be done in a rigorous way that was valid for all.
Ordfører: Pasqualina NAPOLETANO (PSE, I) Kommissionens meddelelse til Rådet og Europa-Parlamentet - Det bredere europæiske naboskab: en ny ramme for forbindelserne med vore naboer i øst og syd
He was concerned that the Council voting method should not depart from the double majority approach: this new process should not lead to us returning to the Nice method.
Dok.: A5-0378/2003 Procedure: Den ikke-lovgivningssmæssige procedure Forhandling: 19.11.2003
Mr Brok was also concerned at the Finance Ministers' proposal to reduce the role of Parliament in budget matters: "This Parliament's main powers are in the budgetary field.
Kommissionen har udvist total inkompetence, og Kommissionen har en forsumpet administrativ kultur.
The Commission will prepare an initiative to launch a debate on fiscal policy in the wider framework of co-ordination and monitoring of economic policy.
Kommissionen fastslår, at EU's udvidelse den 1. maj 2004 med 10 nye
Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (PES, E), for the Socialist group, started his comments on the

December I - 2003 have the right to vote yes or no. Democracy is notjust about elections, it is not something we do only every four years."
medlemslande betyder, at EU træder ind i en ny og historisk fase, og at EU vil få væsentlig større politisk, geografisk og økonomisk vægt på det europæiske kontinent.
Ms Frahm also addressed the issue of the Stability and Growth Pact. It was not acceptable, she said, for rules to be respected only by the small states and not the large ones.
Under fremlæggelsen af sin betænkning sagde Pasqualina Napoletano, at fælles sikkerhed er udgangspunktet for vore relationer til EU's nye nabolande.
According to Daniel Marc COHN-BENDIT (Greens/EFA, F), "the IGC is ailing."
Endvidere ønsker Ukraine og Moldova helt klart en tilnærmelse til EU.
The results of the Brussels Council may be very poor.
Forholdet til Rusland kan ikke udtømmes inden for et "naboskabs-forhold", men Tjetjenien-problemet sætter en stopper for videreudvikling af samarbejdet med Rusland.
Politicians who want to say yes should also sometimes have the courage to say no, or not sign.
Men det altafgørende er, at vi ikke bygger mure ved de nye grænser, sluttede Napoletano.
If reaching agreement means repeating the Nice process, then it would be better not to reach agreement.
EP vedtog en betænkning af den italienske socialist Pasqualina NAPOLETANO om en meddelelse fra EU-Kommissionen med titlen: "Det bredere europæiske naboskab: En ny ramme for forbindelserne med vores naboer i øst og syd".
Social Summit and stated that resolutions to be adopted would have to be followed-up with concrete action, citing the Lisbon process as a case where this had not been the case.
EP støtter Kommissionens oplæg til et tættere samarbejde med EU's nye naboer efter udvidelsen med 10 nye medlemslande den 1. maj 2004.
At first glance, Mr Wim Kok's proposals, he stated, looked promising. He welcomed the Italian Presidency's "constructive" attitude to the IGC.
Det udvidede EU vil have en befolkning på over 450 millioner indbyggere, og det udvidede EU vil få langt større politisk, geografisk og økonomisk vægt.
He insisted on maintaining the legislative Council proposals as contained in the Convention. As to the Commission, he foresaw a more "flexible approach" and did not see the requirement to have one Commissioner per Member State.
EU's østlige og sydlige naboer har en samlet befolkning på 385 millioner indbyggere.
Mr Barón Crespo also welcomed the progress on the Union's Common Foreign and Security Policy.
"En kreds af venner" Den italienske statssekretær Roberto ANTONIONE talte på vegne af det italienske EU-formandskab, og han pegede på, at man med udtrykket "en kreds af venner" har skabt et nyt koncept.
If you want to reduce the Parliament's budget powers, abandon the double majority and change the content of Europe, then you can expect the most European among us to be arguing against the Treaty when it comes to ratification.
Tanken er, at vi skal dele alt med disse nye naboer, dog ikke vore institutioner.
Do not sacrifice Europe for an agreement you will later regret."
Den tyske EU-udvidelseskommissær Günter VERHEUGEN pegede på, at alle vore na boer har hilst Kommissionens initiativ velkommen.
Returning to the question of Guantanamo Bay, he warned that the US was contravening its principles of freedom and a right to a fair trial.
Målet er et niveau under EU-medlemskab, og der skal vi udnytte potentialet fuldt ud på bl.a. følgende områder:
He called on the US "to release the 660 men and boys held in the camp, " stating that they should be either immediately charged or released.
• økonomisk samarbejde, hvor vi bør gå længere end til en frihandelszone og ind drage nabolandene i vor økonomiske politik og de 4 friheder,
Pernille FRAHM (EUL/NGL, DK) called on the Brussels Council to support the Geneva initiative for peace in Israel and Palestine.
• • miljøsamarbejde, retspolitik m.m.
This could be, she said, the last hope for peace in the region.
Globalisering I en betænkning af den italienske socialist Pasqualina NAPOLETANO fastslår EP, at det udvidede EU's nye grænser bør ses som en positiv mulighed for de berørte lande og regioner til at opbygge et netværk af ud dybede relationer.
Gerard COLLINS (UEN, Munster) said the Naples meeting had been productive: the Member States were now discussing the bottom line issues.
Modydelse: Demokrati og menneskerettigheder! Men vi forventer også noget af de nye nabolande som modydelse, nemlig demokrati, menneskerettigheder, mindretalsbeskyttelse m.m. - og vi skal arbejde for at få dem op på samme velstandsniveau som vort.
She argued that the Convention had answered the Laeken remit with a single constitutional text which raised the European standard aloft - but perhaps all the promises could not be delivered.
Særlig koordinator for Sydøsteuropa: Flytning af administrative omkostninger til 1. søjle
Mr Collins stressed a number of points of national interest: "/ believe very strongly that taxation should remain under the control of the Member States.
Nedgradering af Tyrkiet?
The EU should not raise taxes by a qualified majority vote.
Den tyske udvidelseskommissær spurgte ord­føreren Pasqualina Napoletano om det nu er klogt at sige, at Tyrkiet skal inddrages i nabo­skabs­politikken.
Nor should it decide in this way on the operation of legal systems. " forward with proposals supporting the position of the Italian Presidency.
Tyrkiet vil opfatte det nega­tivt - som en nedgradering af Tyrkiet til lande, der ikke har udsigt til EU­medlemskab.
Mr Duff opposed so-called "rendez-vous clauses" (i.e. delaying decisions until later) as, as he put it, "procrastination will not make difficult decisions any easier."
Det vil bringe reformbestræbelseme i Tyrkiet i fare. - "Overvej det, Napoletano", sagde Verheugen.
He also opposed inflating the size of the Commission, as well as reducing the powers of the European Parliament, as it would undermine the democratic legitimacy of the Union.
Ordfører: Hannes SWOBODA (PSE, A) Forslag til Rådets forordning om ændring af Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 1080/2000 af 22. maj 2000 om støtte til De Forenede Nationers midlertidige mission i Kosovo (UNMIK) og Den Høje Repræsentants Kontor i Bosnien­Hercegovina (OHR) Dok.: A5­0390/2003 Procedure: Høringsproceduren (*) Forhandling: 19.11.2003 Afstemning: 20.11.2003
Jens-Peter BONDE (EDD, DK) warned that the Constitution, which was supposed to bring Europe closer to its citizens, would in fact do the opposite.
Han understregede, at udvidelsen af EU ikke må skabe nye grænser i Europa, og at vi ikke blot må flytte Jerntæppet 200 km længere østpå.
"This means more decisions taken by civil servants in Brussels, fewer by the European Parliament and by national parliaments.
Verheugen sluttede med at fastslå, at vi bør være stolte af, at vi for første gang har en forestilling om, hvordan EU skal se ud ­ og om samarbejdet med vore naboer.
The national parliaments will lose more power than the European Parliament gains. The winners will be lobbyists and civil servants meeting in secret."
EP vedtog en betænkning af Hannes SWOBODA (PSE, A) om støtte til UNMIK (Kosovo) og OHR (Bosnien­Hercegovina) samt EU­Kommissionens forslag til for­ordning om at flytte finansieringen af de ad­ministrative omkostninger i forbindelse med de aktiviteter, der udføres af den særlige koordinator for Sydøsteuropa.
Sir Neil MacCORMICK (Greens/EFA, Scotland) picked up on the question of the minimum number of MEPs per Member State, pointing out that Wales's representation would be reduced from 5 to 4 MEPs after the European elections.
