Endelig sagde Vitorino, at folkeafstemninger om forfatningstraktaten i medlemsstaterne skal ledsages af en offentlig debat, der ikke skal indskrænke sig til nationale debatter, men derimod være en egentlig europæisk debat.
For the Commission, António VITORINO said he had been encouraged by the joy of yesterday's arrivals.
Under dagens debat om en kommende forfatningstraktat for EU, sagde Dick ROCHE - repræsentant for det irske for mandskab - at regeringskonferencen har "en strålende ramme" med Konventets udkast til en forfatningstraktat.
Enlargement represents a future of peace and solidarity on a continental scale. The EU of tomorrow should be based on transparency and effectiveness, but also based on the issues which affect the daily lives of its citizens.
Roche understregede, at det irske formandskab er loyalt over for ud kastet, men at det samtidig er nødvendigt at finde afbalancerede og pragmatiske løsninger, hvis forfatningstraktaten skal godkendes under næste måneds topmøde.
He said it was worth recalling the challenges the Convention had been set up to address: the growing gap between citizens and the EU institutions, the need to rethink the European project in the light of enlargement and to allow the EU to play a full role in the world.
Herunder arbejder formandskabet aktivt for at løse uoverensstemmelser om bla. beslutninger med kvalificeret flertal og Kommissionens sammensætning.
The Convention had made real progress on all of these, proposing a text which achieved simplification, greater democracy and greater effectiveness.
Hans-Gert PÖTTERING (PPEDE, D) roste det irske formandskab for på én gang at have været visionært og pragmatisk.
The Taoiseach, Bertie AHERN, T.D., would do the same through his pre-summit tour of European capitals.
Poettering fastholdt, at den kristdemokratiske gruppe vil have indføjet Europas kristnejødiske arveelement i forordet til traktaten.
Mr Vitorino said the Commission believed there was still room for improvement on a number of aspects, including the decision making process and the process for revising the treaties in future, notably to deal with Part III, which was too inflexible, he said.
Han sagde, at en begrænsning i EP's budgetbeføjelser vil være uacceptabelt.
He called on Parliament's representatives at the IGC to help ensure that there were no backward steps in the final agreement, in particular with regard to the EP/Council balance on budgetary powers.
Endelig fremhævede Poettering, at forfatningstraktaten er det bedste redskab til at sikre et fælles, demokratisk Europa, at nærhedsprincippet bliver styrket og at den europæiske mangfoldighed varetages.
It was crucial to ensure there was a real European public debate on the constitution as a whole, he said, if the constitution was to provide effective democratic answers to the challenges ahead.
Hvert land en kommissær Roche sagde, at det irske formandskab arbejder for at hvert land skal have en kommissær, men han udelukkede ikke at for delingen senere må ændres for at sikre Kommissionens effektivitet.
Mr Roche said that any viable voting system would have to be based on the double majority, but he hoped an outcome could be reached which met the needs of everyone.
Endvidere støtter for mandskabet Konventets forslag om indførelsen af dobbelt flertal og vækst i antallet af områder, der vedtages ved kvalificeret flertal.
Qualified majority decisions would lead to greater efficiency, but there was a need to find a satisfactory compromise.
Roche understregede, at politisk vilje fra regeringsledernes side er helt afgørende for et succesrigt udkomme af regeringskonferencen. cen.
There were questions as to how to balance the effectiveness of the Commission with an

The Week and bring the IGC to a quick and successful conclusion.
9. maj 1950: Erklæringfor fred Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (PSE, E) tilsluttede sig hyldesten af Altiero Spinelli og Jean Monnet og understregede, at 9. maj er klæringen fra 1950 ikke blot omhandlede handel, men i endnu højere grad fred.
Mr Duff said Parliament's role should not fade at the last minute, as there were some worrying signs that the IGC wished to remove Parliament's codecision on the structural funds.
Barón Crespo tilkendegav støtte til forfatningsudkastet, men efterlyste endnu mere åbenhed i beslutningsprocesserne.
If there was a crisis, the President should call a meeting of the Conference of Presidents - even if it was in the middle of an election campaign - to help strengthen his hand in defending Parliament's views.
Staternes suverænitet: Udgangspunkt for EU-samarbejde Det slovakiske medlem af Nationernes Europa, Rudolf ZIAK sagde, at forfatnings traktaten ikke kan vedtages uden borgernes og staternes inddragelse og godkendelse.
confidence in the future in the light of the successive steps made in enlarging and deepening the EU over the last 20 years. He also congratulated Mr Vitorino for his work on the Convention.
Han understregede, at staternes suverænitet skal være EUs udgangspunkt og at kulturelle principper skal respekteres.
Some questions remained open, he said - his group would like to see a reference to Europe's Judaeo-Christian heritage in the constitution.
William ABITBOL (EDD, FIN) betegnede det som kritisk, at 300 millioner borgere skal stemme i 25 lande uden at kende svaret på to afgørende spørgsmål: hvilken forfatnings traktat får EU og hvor går grænserne for EU?
He stressed, however, that the Convention text strengthened parliamentarism and subsidiarity, and provided clear rights to local and regional authorities for the first time, and gave national parliaments new rights over subsidiarity.
Han understregede, at folket er suverænen og har ret til at træffe egne beslutninger.
It was a basis for unity in a diverse Europe.
Abitbol problematiserede, at et eventuelt tyrkisk EU-medlemskab vil give EU en fælles grænse med Irak, og opfordrede regeringskonferencen til at vise borgerne hvad der skal behandles påjuni-topmødet. juni-topmødet.
It was time, though, he said, to answer some important questions on which countries might join the EU in the future and which we would aim to have as good neighbours.
EP: "En spiller på inderbanen" Andrew Nicholas DUFF (ELDR, UK) sagde, at EP er blevet "en spiller på inderbanen" og har bidraget til at besvare det ofte stillede spørgsmål med et rungende JA: Kan EU ud vides og gå i dybden samtidig? Han op fordrede Rådet til at vise goodwill og afslutte regeringskonferencen hurtigt og med succes.
The leader of the EUL/NGL group, Francis WURTZ (F), recalled the presentation of the draft treaty by Valery Giscard d'Estaing in Parliament on 3 September last year: his group had said then that we need Europe to be able to transform the world, but refused to go along with the constitutionalisation of the liberal model. He repeated his call for referendums across the EU on the constitution.
Duff opfordrede ligeledes EP's delegation til regeringskonferencen om at fortsætte deres rolle og sikre, at EP's beføjelser ikke be grænses.
He said the turnout at the European elections risked to be a real punishment for these failings.
Georges BERTHU (NI, F) sagde, at EU stadig er alt for præget af institutioner og supranationale hierarkier og understregede, at EUs rolle er at sikre de nationale demokratier og disses reetablering.
Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (E), leader of the PES group, paid his own tribute to the work of Jean Monnet and Altiero Spinelli, and recommended to Mr Roche that he keep a copy of the Spinelli draft treaty with him during the IGC negotiations.
Romano Prodis sidste tale i EP før EP-valget: Beslutsomhed, mod og visionerl
He spoke of the progress made in solidarity and through taking small steps forward, noting that the Schuman declaration began by speaking of peace, not just of coal and steel.
Afviser "den liberale model" Francis WURTZ (GUE/NGL, F) sagde, at EU er nødvendig for at verden kan ånde frit, men understregede samtidig, at den socialistiske gruppe ikke støtter en forfatnings traktat ud fra "den liberale model".
It was, he said, high time to support the Convention's draft constitution, even if some points were outstanding. His group favoured a democratic, secular Europe for everyone.
Herunder henviste Wurtz til Lissabon-strategien, der vil sikre sociale reformer, mens det i praksis viser sig, at 100.000 arbejdspladser er blevet fjernet i EU og at hver 6. unge europæer hverken kan læse eller skrive.
They had always favoured more QMV in the Council, and still supported the idea of a Legislative Council, which would take decisions in public.
Wurtz til kendegav, at han ønsker at fortsætte sit arbejde for et socialt Europa, og efterlyste en ægte debat om forfatningstraktaten.
He asked finally that the President should keep MEPs informed on developments in the IGC.
Monica FRASSONI (UEN, B) sagde, at der var stor forskel på Konventets og regeringskonferencens arbejde, idet Konventets arbejde foregik i åbenhed, hvorimod regeringskonferencen arbejder i det skjulte.
For the Greens/EFA group, Monica FRASSONI (B) told Mr Roche that the real difference between the Convention and the IGC was that the first worked in public while the second was taking place in secret, which was, she said, having a clear negative impact.
Frassoni beklagede, at Dick Roche ikke var gået i detaljer og frygtede at chartret for borgernes grundlæggende rettigheder nu bliver rent virtuelt.
The Presidency's apparent optimism was hiding changes which risked the whole process being in vain: there was a return to unanimity on justice and home affairs matters, an interpretative clause on the Charter of Fundamental Rights, leaving it a 'virtual' document, and a removal of Parliament's powers over the structural funds.
Hun understregede, at borgerne skal vide på hvilket grundlag man diskuterer på regeringskonferencen.
Yesterday's dreams of a new Europe were already lost, she said. She also asked that it be made clear that a Member State voting 'no' in a referendum would be putting itself outside Europe.
Onsdag den 5. maj 2004 holdt formanden for EU-Kommissionen Romano PRODI sin sidste tale i Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg inden EP-valget den 10.-13. juni 2004.
Andrew DUFF (Eastern) spoke for the ELDR group. He said it was a privilege to serve in a Parliament which had made such progress towards the European constitutional settlement which Europe needs.
Prodi gjorde status over de sidste S år og fastslog, at der havde været et godt og konstruktivt samarbejde mellem Kommissionen og Euro pa-Parlamentet, selvom man ikke altid havde været enige.
There was a clear answer to the question of whether Europe could widen and deepen at the same time: it could.
Men debatten mellem Kommissionen og EP havde altid været åben, ærlig og konstruktiv.
He called for the European Council to show the necessary political will
Prodi sagde, at udvideken af EU den 1. maj 2004 med 10 nye medlemslande havde været den smukkeste dag i hans 5 år i Kommissionen.
For the UEN group, Rudolf ZIAK (SK) said reform of Europe's institutions was vital, but that citizens must be involved in the process.
Store opgaver! Nu går Kommissionen ind i en overgangsfase med de 10 nye kommissærer fra de 10 nye medlemslande.
The Week themselves in for, with a wholly new constitutional order now on the point of being adopted.
De nye kommissærer vil stemme med samme vægt som de hidtidige kommissærer, fastslog Prodi. Selvom der kommer en ny Kommission den 1. november 2004, så har denne Kommission stadig store opgaver:
He said the idea of pooled sovereignty seemed similar to the Brezhnev doctrine of limited sovereignty, something the new members had been keen to escape.
Bidrage til vedtagelsen af forfatnings traktaten under EU-topmødet 17.-18 juni 2004,
He said the current draft constitution did not create a superstate, but that it was vital that each Member State be treated equally in the future, with each having a Commissioner.
Under den såkaldte "catch the eye" debat, der er en åben debat, der foregår efter princippet om at alle kan tale, under forudsætning af at de opnår øjenkontakt med formanden, blev der stillet forskellige spørgsmål til Kommissionen.
Proinsias DE ROSSA (PES, Dublin) said it was important that there be no backsliding on the details of the constitution.
Herunder ønskede flere MEP'er at vide, hvor grænserne for EU går, og hvilke lande der kan optages i EU.
He argued against a reference to God in the treaty.
Hertil svarede Kommissionens formand, italieneren Romani PRODI, at det ikke er muligt at se ind i fremtiden, men han understregede at man i første omgang må afslutte tiltrædelsesforhandlingerne med Bulgarien og Rumænien, derefter Kroatien og endelig tage stilling til om EU vil indlede optagelsesforhandlinger med Tyrkiet.
But, he said, there was more to this than the details: it was a matter of appealing to people's better instincts to create a Europe based on human values, and to show that global democratic governance was achievable. The constitution was a dream which needed to be made a reality, he said.
sikre at udvidelsen bliver en succes. Nu skal vi koncentrere os om udvidelsesforhandlingerne med Bulgarien og Rumænien, og Kommissionen har netop anbefalet, at man indleder udvidelsesforhandlinger med Kroatien.
William ABITBOL (F) for the EDD group asked why the European electorate would be voting without knowledge either of the Constitutional agreement or of the future borders of the EU.
Til efteråret vil Kommissionen komme med en rapport om EU bør indlede udvidelsesforhandlinger med Tyrkiet, hvilket det Euro pæiske Råd skal tage stilling til i december 2004,
This, he said, showed the contempt in which the EU held the will of its peoples.
Nelly MAES (Verts/ALE, B) fra EP's udviklingsudvalg ville gerne vide hvordan Kommissionen vil gennemføre den "nultolerance politik" over for svindel den bebudede da Prodi indtrådte som formand.
Georges BERTHU (IND, F) spoke of the joy of receiving the new Member States from Eastern Europe after their liberation from the Communist yoke.
Maes efterlyste endvidere en reel ligestillingspolitik, da hun mente at hele EU-systemets top stadig er alt for mandsdomineret.
He said, however, that there was a need to rethink the way Europe works, as it was still living with 'one size fits αΙΓ institutions, which rode roughshod over national sovereignty.
Prodi svarede, at det er første gang i EU-institutionernes historie at Kommissionen gennemfører en gennem gribende reformproces, hvilket skal under bygge "nultolerance politikken" over for svindel.
It was time for the EU to breathe new life into national democracies, with full pluralism and respect for the states.
Romano Prodi pegede på, at der har været store udviklinger i de sidste 5 år, og han fremhævede i denne forbindelse 4 ting:
He said the European constitution should put the focus on citizens as much as states.
EP godkender den "nye" Kommission: 12 nye EU-kommissærer euroen, den fælles mønt, nye kæmper i Asien - og især Kina - som tvinger os til at se globaltpå tingene, Konventet, som er en nyskabelse, og en
He also called for a reference to Christianity in the text: the Christian heritage was the basis of great works of art of Europe's past and the labours of love and faith visible in its cathedrals, including Strasbourg's cathedral.
• ny måde at føre politik på og
He said yes to European inclusion, but no to secularism.
• der tegner sig en europæisk offentlighed, hvilket man så i forbindelse med konflikten i Irak.
He also called for Europe to speak with one voice and for the Member States to work together on an equal footing.

Timothy KIRKHOPE (EPP-ED, Yorkshire and the Humber) said 1 May marked one of the greatest achievements of the postwar era, as countries which had suffered under the Soviet Union or socialist dictatorship were finally welcomed to the EU.
Hvor vi tidligere har haft plads og råd til "euroskepticisme", vil "euroskepticisme" nu føre os til et sikkert nederlag.
This was the triumph of liberal democracy, he said, and the British Conservatives wholeheartedly welcomed the new members.
Det EU har behov for nu er beslutsomhed, mod og visioner, sluttede Romano Prodi.
It was also the 25th anniversary of the first election of Margaret Thatcher in the UK, and he paid tribute to her role in confronting communism, which he said was perhaps greater than any other leader's.
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog onsdag den 5. maj 2004 en beslutning, hvori man godkender EU-Kommissionen i dens nye sammensætning for den resterende del af mandatet frem til den 31. oktober 2004. EP anerkender, at Prodi-Kommissionen fortsat

Pat Cox's final speech to Parliament as President
Altiero Spinelli arbejdede for en demokratisk og gennemsigtig borgernes union. De var begge handlingens mænd med kreativitet og en kritisk holdning, og EU er på trods af fejl og mangler et heroisk projekt.
The legislative legacy of this Parliament, from 1999 to 2004, is one which will improve the quality of life of our peoples, and lay down the conditions for improvedprosperity. "
Dick Roche understregede, at vedtagelsen af Konventets forfatningstraktat er et af vore mål, og han håbede, at den kunne vedtages under EU-topmødet i juni måned.
Pat COX addressed Parliament for the last time as President and revealed that he would not be standing in June's European Elections:
Monnet stod for metoden bag den gradvise opbygning af det nye Europa.
One hundred and fifteen procedures (28 % of the total) were adopted in first reading, while half of the total were agreed and concluded at second reading, in 'pre-conciliation' processes, leaving only one fifth for conciliation proper.
Spinellis vi sioner og "Spinelli-planen" fra februar 1984 førte senere til Maastricht- og Amsterdamtraktaten og nu forfatningstraktaten, som ikke havde været mulige uden "Spinelli-planen". De Palacio fastslog, at Monnet og Spinetti byggede på pragmatisme og idealisme, og at dette har ført til fredens og velfærdens Euro pa.
He continued: "In plainer language, we did not push parliamentary prerogative to its limits, but used it with strategy and strong political sense.
Under det højtidelige møde i Strasbourg sagde den irske formand for Europa-Parlamentet Pat COX, at Jean Monnet og Altiero Spinelli havde haft modet til at se langt og have visioner - de fortabte sig ikke i detaljer.
The extent of our legislative engagement; our engagement across the European institutions - which has contributed to a climate of trust and provided legitimacy, efficiency and confidence; the sheer scale of our high 'exit velocity' - involving the adoption of over eighty reports at our last session; all these bear testament to the general up-scaling of Parliament's work in the last period.

Medlemsstaternes studehandler Den tyske PDS'er Sylvia-Yvonne KAUFMANN understregede, at Spinelli var anti-fascist, og at han er ledesnoren for vort arbejde, medens den østrigske grønne Johannes VOGGENHUBER pegede på, at Europa kan lide skibbrud, og at det euro pæiske perspektiv udvandes under medlemsstaternes studehandler.
Parliament has learned, he said, from the experience of 1999, the lessons of executive accountability: "The maturing role of this House and its Committee on Budgetary Control shows how we absorbed the lessons of the previous crisis, in particular that parliamentary accountability is an indispensable requirement of executive action, and not just an add-on".
Den irske UEN'er Gerard COLLINS fastslog, at både Jean Monnet og Altieri Spinelli ville have været stolte over EU's udvidelse med 10 nye med lemslande den 1. maj 2004, og at man har fået et EU med 25 medlemslande, der arbejder for velstand og demokrati.
Pat Cox said that the power of assent had been exercised responsibly, as the assent given to the Accession treaty showed, while at the same time, as the discussions and votes on the Passenger Name Register amply demonstrated, this Parliament was no-one's 'rubber-stamp'.
forfatningsudvalg i de sidste 5 år, og han pegede på, at genopbygningen af Europa efter 2. verdenskrig er foregået i etaper. Monnet og Spinelli var de store profeter og opbyggere, som tilstræbte at overvinde nationalisme og fjendskab mellem de europæiske stater.
On enlargement the President said the work of the Vice-Presidents on the Bureau, the Group leaders in the Conference of Presidents and the advance budgeting for pre-integration all meant that this week had gone without a hitch.
