Kommissionen har vedtaget at yde en fødevarehjælp på mere end 600.0001 over de kommende måneder.
She also wanted EU law to enshrine the principle of equality of men and women.
Parlamentets reaktion er baseret på konstateringen af, at der i den østrigske regering deltager et decideret fremmedhadsk parti. Hertil kommer erindringen om, hvad der er sket tidligere i dette århundrede, fordi regeringerne ikke skred ind i tide.
Briefing MEPs on progress in negotiations so far, Jaime GAMA speaking for Council told the House that there had been close contacts with representatives from the European Parliament He was not, however, in a position to report on much progress in the area of extending qualified majority voting.
Det er af respekt over for denne erindring, at Parlamentet ikke vil tillade en banalisering af de ekstreme højrekræfter i Europa, sagde Parlamentsformanden. formanden.
He was, however, more optimistic about reaching agreement on the "weighting" of votes in Council based on a "double-majority" system to take account of each member state and the size of population.
Han mindede om, at EU fortsat er den største donor af fødevarer til Etiopien, selv om en del af disse fordeles gennem Internationalt Røde Kors og andre hjælpeorganisationer.
In the area of security and defence, he felt that there could be agreement on changes considered necessary, while as far as discussions on the size of the Commission were concerned, opinions were divided into two camps.
I de seneste 25 år har EU således leveret fødevarebistand til Etiopien til en værdi af næsten 1 mia. euro, understregede kommissæren.
On the one hand, there were those who supported one Commissioner for each member state, while on the other hand, others favoured a fixed number of Commissioners not related to nationality.
Hun takkede for præsidentens ord. Vi håber, at Østrig atter vil blive en fuldgyldig partner i vor europæiske Union, ikke blot juridisk som hidtil, men også i vort sind og vore hjerter, sluttede Nicole FONTAINE.
There was general support for the idea that the various Commissioners should stand down when asked by the President to do so, although once again, opinion was divided between those who wanted this to be on an informal basis and others who wanted the process enshrined in the Treaty.
Chris PATTEN vurderede, at det største problem i den aktuelle situation er manglende havne- og transportfaciliteter, herunder et utilstrækkeligt vejnet.
The member states were also favourable towards the idea of Parliament sacking the Commission through a Motion of No Confidence, should this be considered necessary.
Den manglende kapacitet vil virke som en begrænsende faktor for den mængde fødevarer, der kan modtages og fordeles over de kommende måneder, fastslog han.
The idea of "reinforced cooperation" was another problem area as it was, at this stage, mainly an abstract principle.
Fælles beslutningsforslag B5-0345/2000/RC1 af Kommissæren beklagede afslutningsvis, at man
On balance though, he emphasised the need for any changes agreed at the IGC to be acceptable to public opinion at large and national parliaments.
Vi kan ikke forudse naturkatastrofer, men vi burde have gjort
He warned, however, of the dangers of the failure to agree at the IGC, pointing out that it would be a real tragedy if enlargement could not take place.
Rådet noget ved den politiske situation i området, og der er navnlig brug for at yde al mulig støtte til fredsbestræbelserne, sluttede Chris PATTEN.
Changes needed, he said, were to establish a balance between EU institutions, taking account of the needs of the smaller and larger member states, extend majority voting and agree on the value of weighting of votes in Council.
(12/4) Vi kan ikke lukke øjnene for den katastrofe, der har ramt 16 mio. mennesker i Etiopien, sagde den fungerende rådsformand, den portugisiske statssekretær Francesco SEIXAS DA COSTA.
He was in the camp that favoured allowing the small member states their own individual Commissioners. It was also important to establish a strong Commission and give Parliament the right to dismiss the College if this was considered necessary.
Han understregede, at EU og medlemsstaterne er opmærksomme på situationen, og at man er indstillet på at træffe de fornødne foranstaltninger.
The Court of Justice should also be strengthened and procedures improved so that it could deal with a backlog of cases quickly and he also wanted to see the applicant member states informed of progress in the negotiations.
(14'4) Efter anmodning fra et antal medlemmer blev det konstateret, at der ikke var det fornødne antal medlemmer til stede til at opnå beslutningsdygtighed i henhold til forretningsordenen.
On behalf of the PES, Dimitrios TSATSOS (GR), supported the need to ensure a balance between small and larger member states as well as increasing the effectiveness of the decision-making process.
Afstemningen blev derfor udsat til næste møde.
It was important to simplify complex procedures and to ensure the support of public opinion for developments in the future.
Vi kan ikke hjælpe så hurtigt, som vi gerne ville, men hjælpen er undervejs, fastslog han.
Enlargement could not go ahead without this agreement, he said.
Mundtlig forespørgsel B5-0008/2000 af ANDREASEN tn.fl. (ELDR).
It was also important to include a binding charter of individual rights and enhance the EU's capacity to act in global affairs. He

favoured a two pronged approach based on a constitutional Treaty and separate legislative acts, together with a strong Commission and controlled by a mature parliamentary democracy.
Hvis vi ikke tackler sagen rigtigt nu, sætter vi meget på spil, sagde han.
He did however recognise the concerns of member states over the threat to national sovereignty.
Der henvises til kommissær Viviane REDING's udtalelser om betydningen af information til og kommunikation med offentligheden, hvor hun har talt om en "dramatisk omlægning af informa­tionsstrategien" og fremført, at der tidligere har været "for meget propaganda",
For the Greens, Monica FRASSONI (B) objected to the system chosen to carry out the negotiations, based on government representatives, which she said, was not representative of groups and population at large.
Der henvises ligeledes til den brede offentligheds manglende kendskab til aktiviteterne og mulig­hederne i Unionen, som har givet sig udslag i en skeptisk holdning til yderligere europæisk inte­gration, og til mangelen på en virkelig offentlig debat om de store udfordringer, som EU står over for i form af udvidelse, monetær union og en europæisk forsvarspolitik.
While she supported the extension of co-decision, a binding charter and to reinforce cooperation in certain areas, she was concerned that negotiations were carried out by "technocrats".
Kommissionen anmodes derfor om at oplyse følgende:
She was also worried that the proposal to limit the size of the European Parliament would result in power remaining exclusively with the larger political groups.
Han understregede vigtigheden af at forklare borgerne i EU og i ansøgerlandene, hvad Unionen står for.
For the EUL/NGL Group, Alonso José PUERTA (E) strongly supported strengthening of democracy in a sound institutional framework.
En strategi for information og kom­munikation må derfor stå højt på dagsordenen, mente han.
He was another speaker to be in favour of a binding charter.
Vi har alle en interesse i, at EU's informations­ og kommunikationsaktiviteter tilrettelægges så tæt på borgerne som muligt, sagde han.
A note of dissent was expressed by Georges BERTHU (UEN, F) who felt the EU should not be involved in a deepening process or moving towards federalism at this stage, but rather exploring the idea of a looser form of cooperation between 30 member states based on national democracies.
Desuden skal politikken målrettes, så de forskellige samfundsgrupper får de informationer, der passer bedst til dem, tilføjede han.
He was also concerned that the position of smaller member states would be marginalised.
Nøgleordene er koordination, også mellem Parlamentet og Kommissionen, decentralisering og målretning samt optimal udnyttelse af den informationsteknologi, der er til rådighed, sagde Ole ANDREASEN.
Jens-Peter BONDE (EDO, DK), too favoured an approach based on the role of national parliaments, where he said sovereignty was gradually being eroded to officials meeting behind closed doors and not even to the European Parliament.
Hvilke konkrete foranstaltninger inden for informations­ og kommunikationspolitikken har Kommissionen til hensigt at foreslå for at give EU en større grad af legitimitet;
He drew attention to 19 proposals for democratic reform coming from the "SOS Democracy" intergroup which he said contained members from across the political spectrum from Conservatives to Communists.
Hvordan vil Kommissionen sikre, at informa­tions­ og kommunikationstiltag gennemføres så decentralt og så tæt på borgerne som muligt, og hvordan vil den sikre, at disse initiativer når ud til alle borgere og ikke blot til dem, som beskæftiger sig med disse spørgsmål i fagligt øjemed;
For the Commission, Michel BARNIER underlined the need for member states to put aside national short-term interests with a view to reaching a consensus on the way forward.
Hvordan vil Kommissionen differentiere sine informations­ og kommunikationsstrategier over for de forskellige samfundsgrupper,
As he put it, far too many issues were now blocked in Council because of the limits of the decision-making process and cases in the Court were piling up.
Han regnede med, at Kommissionen vil inddrage sine kontorer i de større europæiske byer ved at pålægge dem opgaver og ansvar og giver dem midler til at kontakte og informere borgeren på gaden. Eksperterne, myndighederne og de virkelig interesserede har jo ikke vanskeligheder ved at få informationer om EU, vurderede han. Derfor var han en smule skeptisk over at høre om et "interinstitutionelt bibliotek" i Bruxelles og lignende centrale funktioner.
On the size of the Commission, the Commission itself was in favour of each country having its own Commissioner, while the body also supported linking codecision to areas where decisions were taken by qualified majority voting.
Hvordan har Kommissionen til hensigt at tilpasse anvendelsen af den nye informations­teknologi for at øge informationsniveauet og sikre en åben kommunikationspolitik;
He felt the Commission's proposal in this area to extend it to certain areas of the single market and social security was a rational approach.
Hvilke initiativer kan Kommissionen eventuelt foreslå for at forbedre og styrke samarbejdet mellem Kommissionen og Europa­Parlamentet og Kommissionen og medlemsstaterne om informations­ og kommunikationsstrategier.
Gerard COLLINS (UEN, Munster) supported enlargement and recognised the need for reform.
Han erkendte, at der er tale om en vanskelig opgave, for kløften mellem borgerne og institutionerne er bred.
However he was not in favour of a "two tier" Europe in which larger states dictated to smaller states.
Med de store udfordringer, som EU står over for, bliver opgaven ikke mindre, vurderede han.
He was not happy with the idea of a rotating Commissioner and believed that all countries should automatically have a Commissioner.
Han betegnede udvidelsen, Kommissionens interne reformer og den ambitiøse femårsplan samt regeringskonferencen som emner, der alle kræver en betydelig informationsindsats.
He reminded the House that it would be necessary to have a referendum in Ireland to approve any new Treaty and he did not consider that proposals to take away its automatic Commissioner would be acceptable.
Der er meget at informere om, og det haster, sluttede Ole ANDREASEN.
In addition Mr Collins was not happy with proposals to extend QMV that would not allow national states to set their own taxation policy.
Unionen står over for store opgaver, og dens videre udvikling er meget afhængig af, hvad vi foretager os nu og her, sagde Ole ANDREASEN (Venstre), talte på vegne af ELDR­gruppen. Han betegnede
Christopher BEAZLEY (EPP/ED, Eastern,) announced that British Tories could not accept many of the proposals in the report, such as the idea of incorporating the Charter of Fundamental Rights into the Treaty.
Generell sionen, Parlamentet og medlemsstaterne har alle et medansvar, sagde hun.
reforms that would enable the deadline to be met.
generelt en manglende interesse for EU, udtrykt ved den svigtende valgdeltagelse ved det seneste valg til Parlamentet, sagde han.
There was a danger of confusing priorities, he said, and the priority should be enlargement.
Specielt i lyset af udvidelsen er vi nødt til at sørge for at have et førsteklasses produkt, og så skal vi markedsføre det ordentligt, sluttede han.
Richard CORBETT ( PES,Yorkshire and the Humber) on the other hand declared that his group supported the report.
Hun påpegede, at der også er noget fungerer, bl.a. EuropaDirect og de forskellige InfoPoints, der er blevet en indgangsdør for de borgere, som søger oplysninger om EU.
It was ambitious, balanced and prepared for the long term, he said, and it presented a great opportunity to modify the Treaties for the better.
Caries-Alfred GASÒLIBA I BÖHM (ELDR, E) så frem til Kommissionens meddelelse om en ny informationspolitik.
Neil MacCORMICK (Greens/EFA, Scotland,) also welcomed enlargement and the creation of a confederation of states.
Han understregede vigtig heden af at samarbejde med de regionale organer med henblik på at komme helt ud til borgerne, der skal inddrages i opbygningen af Europa.
However he was unhappy with proposals for all-Europe lists in Euro elections as he considered that this would dilute the role of nations such as Scotland, Wales, Euskadi and Andalusia.
Kommissæren understregede, at den nye informationspolitik skal bruge alle de muligheder, som den nye informations- og kommunikationsteknologi tilbyder.
Wednesday 12 April - The Earl of STOCKTON (EPP/ED, South West) announced that the majority of his group had voted to reject the report as it considered many of the ideas to be "centralising, syndicalist, unnecessary and backward-looking".
Han lagde også vægt på effektiviteten og henviste i den forbindelse til Euro-kampagnen.
The report sought to continue down the same route as Maastricht and Amsterdam.
Den var i visse tilfælde blevet overladt til reklamebureauer, uden at det af den grund var lykkedes at få budskabet ud til den brede befolkning.
However, he welcomed the "excellent amendment" by Andrew DUFF (ELDR, Eastern) that would give a legal opt-out to member states and that of Roy PERRY (EPP/ED, South East) that would enable Parliament "to put public money where its mouth is by saving wasteful expenditure entailed in the absurdity of these Strasbourg sessions".
Hun indrømmede, at en af de helt store fejl, der er begået, er at udsende oplysninger oppefra og ned, hvilket opfattes som propaganda. Der skal tages hensyn til modtagerens psykologiske situation, og man skal i stedet gå ind i en dialog, sagde hun.
In subsequently adopting the resolution by 238 votes to 147 with 73 abstentions setting out Parliament's proposals for the forthcoming IGC, MEPs called for a more democratic and effective Union and stressed that the EU enjoyed dual legitimacy as a union of peoples and a union of states.
Til gengæld beklagede han, at skotske korrespondenter nu trækkes tilbage fra Bruxelles af økonomiske årsager.
A series of amendments to the text deleted any timetable for electing a Europe-wide list or any proportion of MEPs, so that it now reads that the "Treaty should provide for the possibility that a number of Members could be elected in a single European constituency".
Kommissæren henledte opmærksomheden på, at der er nedsat en interinstitutionel gruppe om information med deltagelse af Parlamentet, Kommissionen og medlemsstaterne.
The resolution also calls on the IGC to include on its agenda the issue of the incorporation into the Treaty of the Charter of Fundamental Rights.
Dette arbejde vil munde ud i en meddelelse med en ny indfaldsvinkel til information.
There is also a call for codecision and QMV to become the general rule for decision-making in the legislative sphere.
Meddelelsen vil blive færdig inden sommerferien.
The importance of the "social market economy" is also stressed.
Esko SEPPÄNEN (GUE/NGL, FIN) understregede, at der er forskel på information og propaganda. Han vurderede, at den nye Kommission er kommet dårligt fra start med udbredelse af en række politiske informationer i en propagandaagtig form.
An amendment adopted stresses the need for the Commission to be of a workable size either by having a fixed number of 20 Commissioners and a rotation system among member states or of having one Commissioner per member state with a strengthening of the role of the President and the establishment of an inner hierarchy.
Han betegnede ligeledes det restriktive direktiv forslag om aktindsigt som et skridt i den forkerte retning. Borgerne skal have adgang til alle informationer og dokumenter, så de kan drage deres egne konklusioner, understregede han.
Another amendment calls for unanimity in Council to be confined to decisions of a constitutional nature which, in accordance with the Treaty, require the assent of national parliaments.
Hun kunne ikke komme ind på det konkrete indhold i meddelelsen, men lovede, at den vil blive baseret på nærhedsprincippet, decentralisering, åbenhed, medansvar samt inddragelse af civilsamfundet.
A further amendment urges the IGC to explore solutions that would allow a member state opposed to a common position or a joint action to derogate from endorsing the action being undertaken.
I dette arbejde skal alle institutionerne, herunder Parlamentet, spille deres rolle uden at miste deres særlige identitet, sluttede Viviane REDING.
On majority voting in Council MEPs opted for a formula that would comprise a simple majority of member states representing a majority of the EU population.
Endelig beklagede han Parlamentets egen indsats på informationsområdet. Parlamentets informationskontor i Helsingfors råder kun over én Internetforbindelse og har ikke midler til at uddele Amsterdam-traktaten, sagde han.
One other feature of the vote was the proposal to add the following phrase to the EC Treaty: "in the case of the European Parliament, it shall decide, by an absolute majority of its members, on the location of its seat and all of its meetings".
Kontoret i Helsingfors ved såmænd dårligt nok, hvad Parlamentet egentlig laver, sluttede Esko SEPPÄNEN (GUE/NGL, FUST).
This proposal in the report was adopted by 401 votes to 77 with 9 abstentions.
Det fastslås, at lande, som træffer foranstaltninger med negative følger for stabilitetspagten, i givet fald vil blive udelukket fra pagtens finansieringspro­cedurer.
Austrian President reaffirms Austria's commitment to the EU
Udvalget om Udenrigs­anliggender, Menneskerettigheder, Fælles Sikkerhed og Forsvarspolitik.
Recent polls show that some 80 percent of Austrians continue to support membership.
Udvalget mener, at det europæiske genopbygnings­agenturs kompetenceområde bør udvides, og at agenturet bør være ansvarligt for omsætteisen af de horisontale EU­programmer samt for sam­ordningen med projekter fra andre internationale støttegivere.
In his capacity as President, he explained, he had therefore come to Strasbourg to put this support down on record, adding that since joining the EU, Austria had shown itself to be a conscientious European and indeed interested in taking a constructive approach to EU affairs.
Det vurderes, at en streng våbenkontrolpolitik er en forudsætning for stabiliteten og sikkerheden i hele regionen.
It was important to nip this danger in the bud, he said, drawing attention to a speech he made at the opening of the new European Observatory against Racism in Vienna.
Derfor opfordres medlemsstaterne og alle stabilitetspagtens signatarer til at udarbejde et fælles program med henblik på at begrænse de nationale hæres størrelse mest muligt.
It was vital that people were warned at an early stage of dangers here, he said, referring to the need to learn from the lessons of the second world war.
Udvalget betragter bekæmpelsen af korruption og organiseret kriminalitet som en afgørende forud­sætning for etableringen af et civilt samfund, der bygger på retsstatsprincipper og demokrati.
Nevertheless, the new Austrian State that grew out of the Second World War, he said, was marked by a commitment never again to fall prey to nationalism or extremism.
Det opfordrer derfor til en forbedring af politistyrken i de fem lande og til et udvidet politisamarbejde og samarbejde om retlige anliggender mellem disse lande og EU.
A measure of progress could be seen in some 800,000 foreigners or 10 percent of the total population now living in Austria.
Det konkluderes, at EU på basis af de hidtidige erfaringer med den regionale tilgang er rede til et langsigtet og væsentligt engagement i stabilisering af regionen. Stabiliseringsindsatsen vil i første række blive samlet om de fem lande, men vil også få et bredere sigte mod hele regionen.
In fact he said that Austria had welcomed 1 million people since the Second World War from those leaving Eastern Europe, Hungary and Czechoslovakiato those escaping from the former Yugoslavia over the last decade.
Den regionale tilgang og dens anvendelsesområde, instrumenter og betingelser er fortsat gyldig.
He was concerned that the situation with regard to compensation for those Jews who had suffered in 1938 has not yet been resolved.
På baggrund af den fremtidige fælles EU­strategi for regionen og forslaget til en stabilitetspagt for Sydøsteuropa og navnlig de ændrede omstændig­heder i regionen, bør den dog udbygges væsentligt.
This still needed to be readdressed, he said. Nevertheless, he felt that there had been an unjustified bias reporting of events in Austria over the past few months and he looked through the media and politicians in other European countries to put this right and deal with the situation in a fair way.
Udvalget understreger den vigtige rolle som de internationale og lokale ikke­statslige organisa­tioner (NGO'er) spiller i forbindelse med den økonomiske og samfundsmæssige genopbygning.
Continuing, he said that he was convinced that it was in the interest of the European Parliament to ensure that EU affairs were processed in a legal way and regular work in the Institutions carried out He pledged Austria's cooperation here, adding that he felt, as far as enlargement was concerned, it could have some valuable experience to bring to negotiations.
Det støtter udformningen af konkrete planer, som bidrager til den kulturelle tilnærmelse mellem de fem lande og fremhæver betydningen af, at regionens kulturarv beskyttes ved målrettede foranstaltninger.
By way of example, he cited, Austria's convening of an annual meeting between the Presidents of countries in Central Europe which now contains twelve participating states. Enlargement offered Central Europe a unique opportunity to be at the heart of the new Europe.
Kommissionen har derfor foreslået, at der iværksættes en proces, hvis vigtigste faktor vil blive, at de fem lande tilbydes stabiliserings­ og associeringsaftaler til gengæld for overholdelse af de relevante betingelser.
Austria's rich heritage and its experiences as a small state, he felt, had much to offer in showing the way with regard to implementing the principles of federalism and subsidiarity. This should not mean a loss of identity.
Blandt andre elementer nævnes udvidet og nyorienteret bistand, øget støtte til demokratisering, udvikling af handel og politisk dialog og samarbejde på nye områder.
The policy areas he supported included a strong defence role in enabling the EU to take appropriate military action when necessary and a binding charter of individual rights.
Ordføreren, Jan Joost LAGENDIJK (Verts/ALE, NL), glædede sig over den nyligt afholdte Donau­konference, hvor man bl.a. har drøftet grænse­overskridende projekter, som vil medføre et samarbejde mellem landene i området.
Concluding, he acknowledged that the situation which Austria now found itself in, was "uncomfortable" and with consequences for other EU member states.
