EU bør fremover føre en fælles politik over for Irak, og man bør undgå uenighed mellem EU-landene.
COUNCIL & COMMISSION STATEMENTS Situation in Iraq
Under Europa-Parlamentets debat om situationen i Irak efter at de militære aktiviteter stort set er overstået var der bred enighed om, at FN bør spille en central rolle i genopbyg ningen af Irak.
He emphasised the importance of putting together an alliance between the international community to deliver humanitarian aid and establish stability.
Der var også enighed om, at man bør lære af de bitre erfaringer med uenigheden mellem EU-landene om krigen i Irak og fremover sikre større enighed mellem EU's medlemslande.
He emphasised the EU's willingness to help the process and indeed said the "oil for food programme" had been extended to the end of June 2003. He then emphasised the importance of establishing political will between the EU states and the need for all sides to pull together.
Bitre erfaringer Under ordførerrunden spurgte den tyske CDU'er Hans-Gert PÖTTERING om, hvad vi kan lære af de bitre erfaringer med Irak krigen.
Opening the debate on Iraq, Commissioner Poul NIELSON, responsible for humanitarian aid, outlined the humanitarian situation following his recent visit to Iraq.
Han tog afstand fra defaitisme og understregede, at vi bør gøre det bedre i fremtiden.
Since 1992, and prior to the latest conflict in Iraq, he said the EU had spent €157m on humanitarian aid in the country.
Inden enkelte EU-lande lægger sig fast på en national holdning, bør man først have en debat i EU-regi.
This amount, he pointed out, was in addition to the " oil for food programme".
Pöttering understregede, at Europa ikke skal opbygge et modsætningsforhold til USA, men at vi bør være en ligeberettiget partner med USA.
The EU had now secured € 100m for humanitarian aid post-war, €22.5m of that amount was now being spent on improving the water and sanitation systems.
Han erindrede om, at man endnu ikke havde fundet masseødelæggelsesvåben i Irak, hvilket jo havde været hovedårsagen til krigen.
The remaining €77.5m, he said, would be allocated according to needs.
Humanitære situation Den danske EU-udviklingskommissær Poul NIELSON indledte debatten med at gøre rede for den humanitære situation i Irak.
Turning to the situation in the Middle East, he expressed optimism for the future in view of the new US initiative and indeed felt that there would be widespread repercussion throughout the Arab world in establishing a new climate of confidence.
Han havde netop været på besøg i Irak ugen for inden og kunne berette, at den humanitære situation ikke er så slem som forventet, og at der ikke er tale om nogen katastrofe. Der har ikke været de store folkevandringer, og der er færre personskader end forventet.
The situation on the ground was not as bad as some experts had feared, he stated, but this did not mean that the situation could not deteriorate into a humanitarian disaster.
Men der er dog tale om en vanskelig og skrøbelig situation - især i byerne.
Turning to the debate in the UN over a draft resolution, he welcomed the return of the Iraqi question to the UN forum, but pointed out that the US/UK draft only gave the UN a consultative role on humanitarian aid and the future of Iraq.
Formanden for socialistgruppen, spanieren Enrique BARON pegede på, at man må skelne mellem humanitær bistand og genopbygningen i Irak.
For the EPP-ED group, Hans-Gert POETTERING (D) condemned the recent terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia and Chechnya, stating that it was not terrorism against the US, but terrorism against all civilised people.
Han fastslog, at koalitionen udgør en besættelsesstyrke i et besat land, og at der er grænser for koalitionens autoritet.
He said the recent crisis in the international community should be considered as an opportunity for the EU to rebuild its foreign policy, not as an "antagonistic" opposition to the US, but as an equal partner.
Derfor tilkommer der FN og FN's Sikkerhedsråd en vigtig rolle.
The key was to avoid the "old Europe new Europe" debate, and after a
Han understregede, at eksportindtægterne fra den irakiske olie bør komme det irakiske folk til gode.
May - 2003 recent trip to Warsaw he felt strongly that Poland would be joining its European friends on accession to the Union.
Rent vand EU har afsat 100 mio. euro til humanitær støtte i Irak.
It was also vital to establish peace in the Middle East with the EU developing its own policy here.
Heraf er der indtil nu bevilget 22,5 mio. euro, medens de øvrige 77,5 mio. euro vil blive brugt til programmer, som fast lægges hen ad vejen.
Jan Joost LAGENDIJK (NL), for the Greens, drew attention to the failure to discover weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and felt that the UN should be charged with this task.
Han understregede, at rent vand er det største problem, ligesom det er et reelt problem at give folk sikkerhed, når de skal på arbejde.
It was also important to look at the environmental consequences of, for example, the use of cluster bombs. He was another speaker to emphasise the importance of the EU playing a full part in the reconstruction of Iraq.
Endvidere skal man genoprette sundhedssystemet og afminere landet.
Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (E), for the PES group, also condemned the attacks in Saudi Arabia and Chechnya.
Legitim regering Formanden for den liberale gruppe, skotten Graham WATSON udtrykte glæde over, at Saddam Hussein var faldet, og nu skal det irakiske folk opbygge deres land som et fredeligt land.
For the UEN, Gerard COLLINS (Munster) drew attention to the US commitment to establish a transitional civilian government in Iraq by the 3 June 2003 and indeed welcomed the draft resolution at present before the UN.
Men genopbygningen er ikke mulig uden FN, som skal bidrage til at indsætte en legitim regering, hvilket ikke skal ske gennem den selvudnævnte besættelsesmagt.
It was vital for the UN to play a key role in the reconstruction of Iraq, he said, and indeed for the EU to make its own contribution. Sanctions should be lifted immediately and the International Atomic Energy Agency should be re-established in Iraq.
Vi skal vinde freden, og legitimitet kan kun komme fra en FN-resolution.
Indeed he felt without a key role for the UN, there would be an absence of international legitimacy for the future of the country.
Bush 's nye doktrin Den franske GUE'er Francis WURTZ kritiserede George W. Bush's nye strategiske doktrin, som er en kynisk doktrin om den stærkes magt, og Europa må her påtage sig sit ansvar.
Jens-Peter BONDE (DK), for the EDD group, stated that the EU had failed in international diplomacy during the Iraq conflict.
Han beklagede kaos, plyndringer og den militære besættelse i Irak, og mente,
He questioned the relevance of the EU's Rapid Reaction Force and said that it should be put under the control of the UN.
Plyndringer Den græske udenrigsminister Tassos GIANNITSIS fastslog, at de militære aktiviteter i Irak i det store og hele er afsluttet, og at det nu drejer sig om humanitær bistand og at genoprette lov og orden i landet.
For the Liberals, Graham WATSON (South West) emphasised the importance of the EU adopting a united position in its contribution to the rebuilding of Iraq. It was, he said, essential to put aside recent divisions so that the EU could contribute positively to establishing peace in the region along with the UN.
Inden for FN er der afsat 1,7 mia. $ til genopbygning, ligesom EU har afsat 100 mio. euro.
This was also important in providing the basis for the removal of sanctions.
Giannitsis var chokeret over plyndringerne af museer og kulturelle værdier i Irak, og understregede, at den sociale og kulturelle arv i Irak bør bevares. Giannitsis fastslog, at FN bør spille en central rolle i genopbyg
He warned that Iraq was facing numerous crises with regard to the provision of water and electricity and that there was a need to establish law and order through a proper police force and restore the capacity of hospitals.
Maj 2003 at vi bør have en debat om, hvor "forebyggende krige" - som i Irak - fører hen.
Mav - 2003
Ordfører: Toine MANDERS (ELDR, NL) Forslag til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv om miljøansvar for så vidt angår forebyggelse og afhjælpning af miljøskader Dok.: A5-0145/2003
He said that the world had to return to the rule of international law. He also said the EU would have to try to reconcile those who believe in a "multi-polar" world and those who believe in a "uni-polar" world.
Kaos Den hollandske grønne Joost LAGENDIJK pegede på, at den officielle begrundelse for krigen var masseødelæggelsesvåben, men man havde jo ikke fundet nogen.
process was only possible due to Saddam's removal. He welcomed the so called "roadmap" to peace for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Han fast slog, at der er kaos i Irak, og at USA og Stor britannien ikke ved, hvad de skal gøre.
He said the transatlantic relationship should remain the "bedrock" of Western security.
Procedure: Den fælles beslutningsprocedure -Førstebehandling (***I) Forhandling: 13.5.2003 Afstemning: 14.5.2003
John CUSHNAHAN (EPPED, Munster) also condemned the recent terrorist attack in Riyadh and offered his sympathies to the families of the victims.
Den irske UEN'er Gerard COLLINS under stregede, at FN bør spille en central rolle i genopbygningen af Irak, og at FN ikke bør underordnes besættelsesmagterne USA og Storbritannien.
Rebuilding, he said was the key, "rebuilding Iraq, rebuilding the transatlantic relations and rebuilding partnerships within the EU." He welcomed a strong transatlantic relationship with the EU playing an equal role.
EU-landene bør enes om genopbygningen af Irak og glemme tidligere splittelse.
He condemned those who wanted to see the EU as a junior partner and criticised some parts of the US administration for its "anti-French hysteria. "
Ulykker som Seveso i 1976, Toulouse i 2002 samt olietankerne Erikas og Prestiges forlis viser, at det er nødvendigt med mere effektiv miljøbeskyttelse og miljøansvar i EU.
Baroness Emma NICHOLSON (ELDR, South East) stated that she had recently spent 12 days in Iraq where she had the opportunity to listen to the Iraqi people.
Kommissionen har derfor fremlagt et direktivforslag om fælles regler for miljøansvar.
She said Iraqis were generally relishing their new found freedom.
Kommissionens forslag bygger på princippet om "at forureneren betaler", og at de ansvarlige for miljøkatastrofer skal betale om kostningerne.
She said the WHO and the UN were fully engaged in Iraq's reconstruction and she said that troops would have to remain on the ground to maintain law and order.
Jungleloven Jens-Peter BONDE fra JuniBevægelsen fast slog, at læren af Irak-krigen ikke er at kopiere USA, men at løsningen er at stå sammen for at styrke FN, som skal have en udrykningsstyrke, hvori EU's udrykningsstyrke indgår.
Jim NICHOLSON (EPPED, Northern Ireland) focused on Europe's relations with the USA, which he said were at an "all time low".
Vi skal finde krigsforbryderne, som skal for Krigsforbryderdomstolen.
He felt that both sides had tended to drift apart, concentrating on their own priorities, with the US preoccupied with terrorism post-9/11 and the EU concerned with the introduction of the euro and enlargement.
Vi bør værne om lov og ret mellem landene og undgå jungleloven, sluttede Bonde.
Now was the time to put aside differences and concentrate on rebuilding a strong relationship "that would not crumble".
Under Europa-Parlamentets debat om direktivforslaget om miljøansvar var der bred enighed om de grundlæggende principper for miljøansvar, men til gengæld var der stor uenighed om hvor langt man konkret bør gå for at sikre, at forureneren betaler.
Gary TITLEY (North West), leader of the UK Labour group, stated that the debate had focussed too much on the past and on who was to blame, rather than looking to the future. He also said the debate had not recognised that the Iraqi people had been liberated and now there was a degree of religious tolerance in the country.
Tak til USA! Ole ANDREASEN fra Venstre takkede USA for den militære aktion, som havde fjernet et ondt styre.
He welcomed the draft UN resolution on postwar Iraq, which would lift sanctions against the country.
Men USA bør ikke blive i Irak længere end nødvendigt, og FN skal have en vigtig rolle i efterkrigstiden, ligesom der også tilkommer EU en vigtig rolle, fastslog Ole Andreasen.
He said that reconstruction could not be worked out in Washington DC, but rather should be a "bottom-up" process involving the Iraqi people.
EP vedtog betænkningen af den hollandske liberale Toine MANDERS om et direktiv forslag om fælles EU-regler for miljøansvar.
In his reply to the debate, Tassos Giannitsis felt the lessons to be drawn were the need for a strong Common Foreign and Security Policy.
Manders-betænkningen blev vedtaget med 310 stemmer mod 177 - medens 23 undlod at stemme.
In the last few weeks, the Greek Presidency, he said, had been actively trying to find common ground between the Member States rather than focusing on differences.
Det ændrede Kommissionsforslag blev vedtaget med 312 stemmer mod 179 -medens 27 undlod at stemme.
In his response to the debate, Commissioner Nielson stated that the Parliament was in broad consensus over the reconstruction of Iraq agreeing that the UN should play a central role.
Kommissionens forslag bygger på princippet om "at forureneren betaler", og at de ansvarlige for miljøkatastrofer skal betale omkostningerne. ningerne.
He called on the EU's Member States to offer the Commission support and for qualified majority voting to be used for foreign policy decisions in the future.
Europa-Parlamentet stemte om 108 ændringsforslag. Mange af ændringsforslagene fra socialistgruppen, de grønne og GUE-gruppen blev vedtaget
Patricia McKENNA (Greens/EFA, Dublin) said the Iraqi war had no justification and it contravened international law.
Ironiker Ole KRARUP fra Folkebevægelsen mod EU kommenterede Ole Andreasens indlæg, og han mente, at Ole Andreasen var en stor ironiker.
She called for the UN weapons inspectors to return immediately to the country and condemned the fact that the US had been unable to uncover any weapons of mass destruction.
Han fastslog, at den retorik, som ligger til grund for den danske regerings tilslutning til USA, er af en sådan absurditet, at kun en stor ironiker kunne udtrykke det, som Ole Andreasen gjorde.
She also said that, prior to the conflict, Iraq had a good education system open to boys and girls, and called for urgent assistance in re-establishing the education system in Iraq.
Surrealismen i denne debat ligger i, at EU ikke har nogen fælles udenrigspolitik, og at EP ikke har nogen indflydelse på den, mente Ole Krarup.
Proinsias DE ROSSA (PES, Dublin) stated that he had always opposed the war, and now
EP-Ugen ramme for miljø en god europæisk beskyttelse.
Poland's President optimistic for the future
Balance Den svenske EU-miljøkommissær Margot WALLSTRÖM fastslog, at det er vigtigt med enighed om de grundlæggende principper om dette komplekse og følsomme for slag.
As he put it, democracy, the rule of law and the development of civil society were all taken for granted while Poland's GDP had risen by some 50% since 1990, while inflation had dropped to 0.5%.
Hun mente, at man havde fundet en balance mellem de stridende interesser.
Turning to the present day, he emphasised the universal value of freedom and democracy.
Han beklagede, at forslaget ikke lever op til vore ambitioner, og at det var skuffende.
He concluded by looking forward to a new united Europe based on solidarity and prosperity.
Lannoye mente bl.a., at direktivet indeholder en for begrænset definition af miljøet. Hans gruppe ville derfor støtte en række ændringsforslag fra miljøudvalget. valget.
Many of those amendments were tabled in the plenary by the PES, Green, EUL/ NGL groups.
Kompliceret Ordføreren for retsudvalgets betænkning den hollandske liberale Toine MANDERS under stregede, at der er tale om en meget kompliceret sag - både juridisk og politisk.
With regard to nuclear and sea pollution -areas currently subject to specific international conventions - Parliament adopted amendments tabled by the ELDR, PES, GUE and Greens groups seeking to extend the scope of the directive to all cases where the relevant international convention has not yet been ratified by the European Community and/or the Member States and has subsequently not yet entered into force (PSE, AM 99).
Han mente, at man var nået frem til et godt resultat i retsudvalget, selv om han undervejs havde følt sig lidt isoleret mellem højre- og venstrefløjen.
This constitutes a dramatic change to the Commission proposal since the latter explicitly excludes all these areas from the scope of the directive.
Den hollandske EDD'er Hans BLOKLAND pegede på den store uenighed i EP, når det drejer sig om at konkretisere miljøansvaret.
A large number of the amendments approved seek to broaden the scope of definitions used in the directive to include more cases in the 'polluter pays' principle.
Han mente, at en skrap lovgivning ville virke afskrækkende, og han beklagede derfor, at Kommissionens forslag bøjer sig for meget for industriens ønsker.
MEPs also want to make procedures speedier and more effective by requiring those responsible for environmentally harmful actions to take appropriate preventive or restorative measures without waiting for the
Den græske GUE'er Mihael PAPAYANNAKIS talte på vegne af EP's miljøudvalg, og han mindede om, at vi har ventet på dette direktiv i 20 år.
Toine MANDERS (ELDR, NL), the reporter for the Parliament's Legal Affairs Committee on environmental liability, said that the timing of the report was particularly appropriate following the "Prestige and Erika" disasters.
Han mente, at definitionen af miljøskader burde udvides, og at der stadig med dette direktiv vil være en fare for at skatteyderne betaler i sidste ende.
He stressed the importance of creating a level playing field for environmental liability across the 25 Member States, with the possibility of those Member States who want to have stricter legislation to be able to do so.
Uacceptabelt Bent HINDRUP ANDERSEN fra JuniBevægelsen beklagede, at sprøjtemidler for urener vort dyrebare grundvand i Danmark, og han mente, at foureneren her bør kunne drages til ansvar.
However, he felt, as the directive currently stood, it was not strong enough. Mr Papayannakis stated that he would have preferred it if the directive was extended to cover radioactivity and nuclear energy.
Han pegede også på, at Danmark har forbud mod en stor del af pesticider, som EU nu vil tvinge os til at ophæve.
He was also critical of the proposed derogations to the directive as he felt these would undermine the directive.
Dette er uacceptabelt, fastslog Bent Hindrup Andersen.
This provision shall apply within a period from three to six years from the entry into force of the Directive.
Godt kompromis Under ordførerrunden sagde den tyske CSU'er Angelika NIEBLER, at der har været en lang og kontroversiel diskussion om dette forslag, og at det er svært at finde bred enighed om miljøansvar.
Opening the debate, Environment Commissioner, Margot WALLSTRÖM, explained that the aim of the Commission proposal was to make those responsible for environmental disasters pay for the damage.
Hun mente, at man havde nået frem til et godt kompromis i retsudvalget, og at PPE-gruppen derfor kunne støtte betænkningen.
Her aim, she said, was to strike a balance to take account of various conflicting interests.
Finansielle garantier Torben LUND fra Socialdemokratiet fast slog, at det er uhyre vigtigt, at vi får en fælles lovgivning om miljøansvar.
For the EPP/ED, Angelika NIEBLER (D) emphasised her support for the legislation to call to account those responsible for environmental damage.
Han mente, at det havde været en stor fejl, at placere be handlingen af denne lovgivning i retsudvalget, hvis flertal helt åbenlyst intet begreb har om miljøbeskyttelse.
She did, however, recognise that it was difficult to define the concept of biological diversity and felt that it was up to the Member States to take on responsibility for habitat protection.
Torben Lund lagde vægt på følgende ting:
Another possibility would be to use international conventions where appropriate.
Den tyske socialdemokrat Evelyne GEBHARDT understregede, at det er på høje tid med strenge miljøansvarsregler, som tvinger forureneren til at betale.
For the PES, Evelyne GEBHARDT (D) underlined the need the put in place strict rules to cover damage to the environment.
Hun mente, at de offentlige myndigheder bør kunne ind drive midler fra forureneren uden først at lægge ud.
She was in favour of strengthening the legislation and extending it to apply to other areas such as the nuclear industry and GMOs, with the emphasis on taking precautionary measures.
princippet om at forureneren betaler skal sikres fuldt ud,
At the same time, it was important to realise that this was a civil and not a criminal measure and that the aim was not to seek punishment.
• der skal være finansielle garantier for at forureneren kan betale - fx. gennem obligatoriske forsikringsordninger,
Hans BLOKLAND (NL), for the EDD group, stated that the House was still split on the issue of environmental responsibility.
• der bør være ubetinget miljøansvarserstatning for enhver erhvervsmæssig aktivitet, vitet,
He said that the polluter should not only pay but be responsible for restoring the site where the environment had been damaged.
• direktivet bør omfatte GMO-forurening,
He questioned why therefore the House was so divided.
Undtagelser og betalingslofter Den belgiske liberale Willy De CLERCQ pegede på, at der er bred enighed om principperne, men at der er stor uenighed om, hvor langt man konkret bør gå.
Proinsias DE ROSSA (PES, Dublin), referring to an open-cast mine in Tipperary, where he said toxic dust had been emitted for the past 20 years, felt it was totally unacceptable for companies making profits from such activities not to be responsible for repairing environmental damage.
Han fastslog, at der bør være visse undtagelser og betalingslofter, og han mente, at man her havde
He also felt the legislation should be extended to cover radiation and indeed any pollution from Sellafield.
• • reform af EU's landbrugspolitik og opbygningen af en udenrigs- og forsvars der skal være fuld klageadgang for borgere og organisationer og lovgrundlaget bør forblive at være art. 175 om miljøbeskyttelse og ikke art. 95 om det indre marked.
MEPs adopted a key amendment to the proposal with the aim of ensuring that its legal basis is such as to make it subject to the codecision procedure and not the consultation procedure.
Vi har derfor behov for hinandens erfaringer med en fælles vision om solidaritet og gensidig respekt.
The Commissioner also pointed out that sometimes it was not possible to establish who was responsible for the pollution and, therefore, there was a need for mediation.
Europa-USA Kwasniewski pegede på, at USA 2 gange har hjulpet Europa med at vinde freden og fjernet totalitære regimer.
It maintains that Article 95 is a "lex specialis" in relation to Article 308 and constituted the correct legal basis for a regulation that was essentially aimed at harmonising Member States' laws, and hence reducing legal obstacles to the operation of the internal market, rather than creating new "supranational" law.
Og det er nødvendigt med et samarbejde mellem Europa og USA for sikkerheden i verden og en velafbalanceret udvikling i verden.
MEPs also adopted amendments seeking to ensure proper information and consultation procedures and full transparency regarding any changes in the structure of the ECS, in particular with regard to employee's participation.
Men EU må vokse i styrke og skabe en udenrigs- og forsvars politik, og Polen ønsker fuldt ud at spille sin rolle på dette område. EU skal respekteres på den internationale scene.
The statute confers a legal personality to ECS on the whole of the territory of the Community and the proposal defines the rules of constitution, operation, responsibility and liquidation of European cooperative companies.
Onsdag den 14. maj 2003 holdt Polens præsident Aleksander KWASNIEWSKI en tale i Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg.
May - 2003
