Samtidig forpligter Unionen sig til at respektere medlemsstaternes nationale identitet, hvilket vil sige de grundlæggende elementer i den interne politiske struktur.
In practice, the two institutions would thus have been strongly encouraged to reconcile their views.
Hermed udtrykker Unionen sin respekt for de beslutninger, de enkelte medlemsstater træffer i forbindelse med magtens territoriale fordeling - fra fastlæggelsen af Unionens grænser til regionalt og lokalt selvstyre -, opretholdelsen af den offentlige orden og beskyttelsen af den nationale sikkerhed.
A large number of the Member States were unhappy with this balanced system, and throughout the Intergovernmental Conference proposals were submitted which in some cases even represented a serious assault on the European Parliament's existing powers in this field and ran the risk of destroying the idea of financial democracy in the Union.
Endelig støtter forfatningen princippet om loyalt samarbejde mellem Unionen og medlemsstaterne for hermed at nå de fælles mål.
Thanks particularly to the efforts of the representatives of the European Parliament and the Italian and Irish Presidencies, it proved possible to find a compromise which preserves the essential aspects of Parliament's rights in this field:
3.2 Det er vigtigt, at Den Europæiske Unions forfatningsbestemmelser er solidt forankrede i de værdier, som den bygger på og som skal være referenceramme for alle aktiviteter i dens institutioner.
- the financial framework must always be adopted by the two institutions, but the Council will decide unanimously until the European Council, also acting unanimously, decides that the Council may decide by a qualified majority; the annual budget is also adopted jointly by the European Parliament and the Council, but in the event of disagreement the procedure must begin again with the submission by the Commission of a new draft budget.
Ifølge forfatningens artikel 2 er de værdier, som hele den europæiske integration bygger på, den menneskelige værdighed, frihed, demokrati, ligestilling, retsstaten og respekt for menneskerettighederne, herunder rettigheder for personer, der tilhører mindretal.
As has already been said, this solution preserves the essential aspects of the European Parliament's budgetary powers: Parliament is given a decisive voice on the whole of budget, in view of the abolition of the distinction between compulsory and non-compulsory expenditure.
Disse værdier er i øvrigt et kriterium i forbindelse med kommende tiltrædelser og kan danne grundlag for anvendelse af sanktioner mod medlemsstater, hvor der sker alvorlige og vedvarende krænkelser af disse principper. cipper.
But the retention of the unanimity requirement for the adoption of the multiannual financial framework will seriously complicate future negotiations on the subject and provide less encouragement for the budgetary conciliation between the institutions which was the rationale underlying the Convention's proposal.
I den samme artikel fastlægges de principper, som er styrende for Unionens virksomhed: pluralisme, ikke-forskelsbehandling, tolerance, retfærdighed, solidaritet og ligestilling mellem kvinder og mænd.
The Convention, on the other hand, proposed that the measures for the implementation of the own-resources system should be adopted by a Council law adopted by a qualified majority, with the approval of Parliament.
Endelig forfølger Unionen også politiske mål, som udgør selve dens eksistensberettigelse.
Part ΓΠ of the Constitution, concerning The policies and functioning of the Union', consists of 322 articles and is the largest part.
Disse mål kan sammenfattes som: fred, fremme af de ovennævnte værdier og befolkningernes velfærd. De konkretiseres i forfatningens artikel 3 gennem politiske, økonomiske og sociale mål både internt i Unionen og udadtil.
It consists almost entirely of provisions which already exist in the treaties as they stand at present concerning the definition and implementation of sectoral policies, particularly the legal bases for the Union's action in each field.
På internt niveau giver Unionen borgerne et område med frihed, sikkerhed og retfærdighed uden indre grænser og et indre marked med fri og lige konkurrence.
Thus the changes made in Part ΙΠ are essentially consequences of the choices made in Part I of the Constitutional Treaty regarding the abolition of the pillars', the powers of the Union, the institutions, decisionmaking procedures and legal instruments.
Unionen arbejder for en bæredygtig udvikling i Europa baseret på en afbalanceret økonomisk vækst og prisstabilitet, en social markedsøkonomi med høj konkurrenceevne, hvor der tilstræbes fuld beskæftigelse og sociale fremskridt, og et højt niveau for beskyttelse og forbedring af miljøkvaliteten.
That is why, apart from the area of freedom, security and justice (essentially the former third pillar) and external relations, particularly the common foreign and security policy, where the changes are most sensitive, in the other sectoral policies the changes mainly concern the procedures applicable and the breakdown of legal bases between legislative and non-legislative acts.
Den fremmer videnskabelige og teknologiske fremskridt.
This in itself may already constitute a guarantee of greater efficiency, democratic legitimacy and transparency of the Union's action in view of the positive character of the changes which we have analysed above.
Endelig bekæmper den social udstødelse og forskelsbehandling og fremmer social retfærdighed og beskyttelse, ligestilling mellem kvinder og mænd, solidaritet mellem generationerne og beskyttelse af børns rettigheder.
It may incidentally be noted that an initial chapter has been introduced which lists the horizontal or cross-cutting clauses which apply across the board to all policies.
Den fremmer økonomisk, social og territorial samhørighed og solidaritet mellem medlemsstaterne.
We shall review the main aspects of these changes, with the aim of determining whether they enable the Union to act more efficiently and democratically in the fields in question.
På internationalt niveau bidrager Unionen til fred, sikkerhed, bæredygtig udvikling af jorden, solidaritet og gensidig respekt folkene imellem.
In the internal policy sphere, the provisions dealing with the area of freedom, security and justice are those where the greatest changes are to be found, with, in particular, the pillar structure being discontinued and judicial cooperation in criminal matters and police cooperation (which, up to now, have come under the third pillar) being brought under the Gommunity' method through the extension of the ordinary legislative procedure and qualified majority voting37.
Den bidrager til fri og fair handel, udryddelse af fattigdom og beskyttelse af menneskerettighederne, især børns rettigheder, samt nøje over holdelse og udvikling af folkeretten, navnlig overholdelse af principperne i De Forenede Nationers pagt.
37 The Constitution does not affect the special situation applying to the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark in connection with the area of freedom, security and justice, as set out in several existing protocols which have been adapted to the new constitutional text.
Værdierne og principperne er således Unionens etiske grundlag, som navnlig konkretiseres i chartret om grundlæggende rettigheder, som er indarbejdet i forfatningens del II.
The policy objectives in this area are clarified and defined more precisely.
De mål, der tildeles Unionen, er dens eksistensberettigelse og årsagen til, at medlemsstaterne har besluttet at danne Unionen.
Union action is the area is explicitly made subject to compliance with fundamental rights.
De styrer alle Unionens tiltag.
Access to justice is enshrined as a general objective.
Selv om de værdier, principper og mål, der fastlægges i disse artikler, ikke er nye, er visse af dem ikke blevet tydeligt udtrykt, og de er aldrig blevet kodificeret og systematiseret.
Policies on border checks, asylum and immigration are recognised as common policies of the Union, governed by the principles of solidarity and fair sharing of responsibility among Member States.
Det er forfatningens opgave at gøre dette, og det er et væsentligt skridt i retning mod at give borgerne et tydeligt og stærkt symbolsk overblik over, hvad Unionen står for.
The Constitution also marks a major step forward as regards judicial cooperation in both civil and criminal matters and of police cooperation, mainly through the application of the ordinary legislative procedure.
3.3 Det skal i denne forbindelse understreges, at regeringskonferencen stort set har nøjedes med at følge konventets tekst på dette punkt, idet der kun er foretaget mindre ændringer, som Europa-Parlamentet nemt har kunnet tilslutte sig: tilføjelse af værdier vedrørende rettigheder for personer, der tilhører mindretal, tilføjelse af ligestilling mellem kvinder og mænd som et princip, inddragelse af monetær stabilitet blandt Unionens mål som tilføjelse til "en social markedsøkonomi med høj konkurrenceevne, hvor der tilstræbes fuld beskæftigelse og sociale fremskridt".
Judicial cooperation in civil matters is extended to all matters having cross border implications and is based on the principle of mutual recognition of judgments and decisions in extrajudicial cases, with the ordinary legislative procedure applying to any measures for the approximation of laws, with the exception of measures concerning family law, in which case unanimity is the rule (Council law, with Parliament merely being consulted). However, the Council may itself decide unanimously to extend the ordinary legislative procedure to cover some aspects of family law with cross-border implications.
4.1 Indarbejdelsen af chartret om grundlæggende rettigheder i forfatningens del II er et udtryk for den fulde anerkendelse af, at borgerne er i centrum for opbygningen af Europa.
The major innovation as regards judicial cooperation in criminal matters is that the ordinary legislative procedure (qualified majority) is to be used for the approximation of laws covering both procedural matters (minimum rules to facilitate mutual recognition of judgments and judicial decisions, etc.) and substantive criminal law, with minimum rules concerning the definition of some serious crimes with cross-border dimensions listed in the Constitution, and sanctions.
Chartret får således bindende virkning, dels for EU-institutionerne, når de handler inden for rammerne af deres respektive kompetencer, dels for medlemsstaterne, dog kun i forbindelse med gennem førelsen af fællesskabsretten.
The Constitution even provides that the Council may, acting unanimously, identify other aspects of criminal procedure and other areas of crime to which the ordinary legislative procedure may apply.
Dette fremgår særligt klart af forfatningens artikel 11-111, hvori det fastslås, at chartret ikke udvider anvendelsesområdet for EU-retten ud over Unionens kompetencer, ikke skaber nogen nye kompetencer eller nye opgaver for Unionen og ikke ændrer de kompetencer og opgaver, der er fastlagt i andre dele af forfatningen.
Under this arrangement, should a Member State consider that a legislative proposal jeopardises fundamental aspects' of its legal system, it can ask for the matter to be referred to the European Council.
Visse medlemsstaters frygt for de eventuelle konsekvenser af de sociale og økonomiske rettigheder, der anerkendes i chartret, fik regeringskonferencen til at prøve at indføre yderligere elementer27som supplement til dem, som konventet allerede havde etableret for at forebygge eventuelle misbrug.
The European Council has four months in which to refer the matter back to the Council so as to enable the procedure to continue, or to request the Commission or the group of Member States that submitted the original text to submit a new legislative proposal.
Der kan sås tvivl om nødvendigheden af dette skridt, som lader til at ignorere de begrebsmæssige forskelle, som er tydeligt fastlagt i den europæiske forfatnings mæssige doktrin, men en sådan tilgang kan accepteres, såfremt chartrets retskraft ikke an fægtes.
Should the European Council fail to take a decision within the four-month period, or should the new legislative procedure opened at its request not be completed within twelve months, enhanced cooperation shall be established in the matter automatically if one third of the Member States are in favour.
I artikel 11-112, stk. 7, henvises til de forklaringer, som er udarbejdet på vegne af præsidiet for det konvent, der udarbejdede chartret om grundlæggende rettigheder. Disse forklaringer er gengivet i erklæring nr. 12 til regeringskonferencens slutakt.
Parliament can also welcome the fact that the Intergovernmental Conference adopted the Convention's proposal for the establishment of a European Public Prosecutor's Office which has responsibility for combating offences against the Union's financial interests and may prosecute the perpetrators of such offences, despite strong opposition from several delegations.
4.2 Der skal mindes om, at de rettigheder, der udtrykkes i chartret, overordnet set svarer til det fælles grundlag for de grundlæggende rettigheder, som Unionen allerede anerkender, og som finder sit udspring i medlemsstaternes forfatningsmæssige traditioner eller den europæiske menneskerettighedskonvention.
Some of the most striking changes are to be found in the fields of agricultural policy and fisheries policy, where the ordinary legislative procedure will apply for the adoption of legislative acts laying down rules for the common organisation of agricultural markets and the other provisions required for the pursuit of the common agricultural and fisheries policies (under the current arrangements, Parliament is merely consulted).
Det drejer sig især om at udtrykke disse rettigheder præcist og i et for borgerne tilgængeligt sprog og tydeligt give udtryk for, at Unionen skal overholde dem.
This means that the shaping of the main Unes of the common agricultural and fisheries policies will become a matter to be decided by Parliament as well, and no longer just by agricultural ministers.
Dette kan bidrage til at styrke borgernes tillid til deres Union.
However, the setting of prices, levies, aid and quantitative limitations and the allocation of fishing quotas are to be dealt with by means of non-legislative acts (European regulations or decisions) adopted by the Council.
4.3 Indarbejdelsen af chartret i forfatningen fremhæves i begyndelsen af forfatningen i et selv stændigt afsnit (afsnit II i del I), der er helliget de grundlæggende rettigheder og unions borgerskabet.
A new strand, space policy, has been added to research and technological development policy.
Et yderligere skridt i retning af en beskyttelse af de grundlæggende rettigheder i Unionen er bestemmelsen om, at Unionen bør tiltræde den europæiske konvention til beskyttelse af menneskerettigheder og grundlæggende frihedsrettigheder (som alle medlemsstater har underskrevet), hvilket Europa-Parlamentet længe har været fortaler for.
The research framework programme will now be enacted by a European law adopted by a qualified majority. A European research area within which researchers, scientific knowledge and technologies may move freely will be established under laws adopted under the ordinary legislative procedure.
Dette skal ske gennem en aftale med Europarådet.
A European space programme may be adopted by means of a law or framework law.
Afgørelsen om indgåelse af denne aftale skal træffes med kvalificeret flertal efter godkendelse fra Parlamentet.
It should be noted that Parliament's legislative rights in this area were seriously called into question by some of the proposals put forward during the IGC.
Parlamentet kan kun glæde sig over disse væsentlige skridt i retning af at gøre Unionen til en ægte union af stater og borgere.
The IGC placed a limit on legislative action by the Union, which must not affect a Member State's right to determine the conditions for exploiting its energy resources, its choice between different energy sources and the general structure of its energy supply.
En tydelig og forståelig afgrænsning af Unionens kompetencer
In the public health field the IGC went a little further than the Convention by adding, 'early warning of and combating serious cross-border threats to health' to the fight against the
5.1 Et af de væsentligste spørgsmål, som den nye forfatningstekst bør besvare, er spørgsmålet om, hvem der gør hvad i Europa.
January 1 - 2005 major health scourges' among the support measures to be taken by the Union.
Denne tydeliggørelse er uundværlig, hvis borgerne skal have mulighed for at forstå de politiske ansvarsområder på europæisk niveau.
The Union must also, among other things, lay down measures setting high standards of quality and safety for medical products and measures to protect public health regarding tobacco and alcohol abuse.
Den giver ligeledes en yderligere garanti til alle dem, der frygter en overdreven interventionsiver fra Unionens side.
It should be emphasised that the Constitution stipulates that Union action in this area shall respect the responsibilities of the Member States for the definition of their health policy, including the management of health services and medical care and the allocation of the resources assigned to them.
Den fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik og samordningen af medlemsstaternes økonomiske politikker og beskæftigelsespolitikker er, på grund af deres særlige karakter, tildelt særlige bestemmelser, der falder uden for disse tre kategorier (jf. bilag liDenne definition af Unionens kompetencer overholder det grundlæggende princip om tildelingen af kompetencer, dvs. at Unionen kun har de kompetencer, som medlemsstaterne tildeler den i forfatningen, med henblik på at nå de mål, der fastlægges heri.
- introduction at the beginning of Part ΠΙ of a general 'social clause' under which, in defining and implementing all policies, the Union must take into account 'requirements linked to the promotion of a high level of employment, the guarantee of adequate social protection, the fight against social exclusion, and a high level of education, training and protection of human health';
Dette princip forhindrer i sig selv, at der opstår en slags centraliseret superstat, da det indebærer, at alle kompetencer tilhører staterne, medmindre de overdrager dem til Unionen.
- explicit recognition in Part I of the role played by the 'social partners', particularly the Tripartite Social Summit for Growth and Employment, which is to contribute to social dialogue.
5.3 Forfatningen giver ikke Unionen flere kompetencer: De få "nye" kompetencer, som er blevet udspecificeret, vedrører især til de områder, hvor Unionen allerede intervenerede via EF-trak-tatens artikel 308, men som har fået en bedre definition i forfatningen.
Furthermore, it should not be forgotten that the incorporation of the Charter of Fundamental Rights into the Constitution means that the social rights enshrined in the charter will be fully recognised in Community law.
De ændringer, der blev indført i del III, tjener da også generelt til at opfylde behovet for at tilpasse disse bestemmelser til de nye beslutningsprocedurer og de nye retsinstrumenter, der fastlægges i del I.
Lastly, the ordinary legislative procedure will apply to social security measures covering employed and self-employed migrant workers' entitlement to benefits.
5.4 Forfatningen forstærker endvidere Unionens pligt til at respektere nærheds- og proportionalitetsprincippet i udøvelsen af sine kompetencer. Det påhviler i øvrigt allerede regeringerne at sikre dette i Rådet og i Parlamentet.
Another area that came in for much discussion but in which the changes are relatively minor is that of economic governance.
Definitionen af de principper, der fremhæves i forfatningen, svarer til den definition, der allerede eksisterer i de gældende traktater, men protokollen om anvendelse af nærhedsprincippet og proportionalitetsprincippet indeholder nye mekanismer til sikring af overholdelsen af disse principper, navnlig ved i væsentlig grad at styrke de nationale parlamenters rolle.
For example, the Council decision on the adoption of the euro by new Member States (proposed by the Commission) must be preceded by a recommendation from a qualified majority of the Member States whose currency is already the euro.
5.5 Disse sikres især retten til at blive informeret i god tid om Kommissionens forslag til retsakter, der endvidere skal indeholde en redegørelse for, hvordan de stemmer overens med nærhedsprincippet og proportionalitetsprincippet.
Furthermore, the operating procedures of the Euro Group are set out in a protocol attached to the Constitution.
Dette giver dem mulighed for at udøve de rettigheder, de har på nationalt niveau, og styrker navnlig deres mulighed for at øve indflydelse på deres regerings tiltag i Ministerrådet.
The IGC also adopted a Declaration on the Stability and Growth Pact.
De nationale parlamenter kan endvidere, for så vidt angår nærhedsprincippet, senest seks uger efter at Kommissionen har forelagt et lovgivningsforslag, sende en begrundet udtalelse til formændene for henholdsvis Europa-Parlamentet, Ministerrådet og Kommissionen med angivelse af, hvorfor det pågældende forslag efter deres mening ikke er i overensstemmelse med nærhedsprincippet.
The pact was the subject of heated discussions among some delegations, resulting in the adoption of changes to the Convention text which, inter aha, have reduced the importance of the Commission's proposed role in the excessive deficits procedure (with the recommendations addressed by the Council to the Member State concerned being adopted on the basis of a Commission recommendation, as is currently the case, rather than a proposal, as the Convention was proposing).
Denne protokol forudser også muligheden for, at medlemsstater på vegne af deres nationale parlament eller et kammer i dette parlament (hvis dette er i overensstemmelse med deres interne retssystem) kan indbringe en klage over lovgivningsmæssige retsakters krænkelser af nærhedsprincippet.
Major changes have also been made in the external relations sphere, but more to institutional arrangements than to decisionmaking procedures.
Regionsudvalget får ligeledes mulighed for at indbringe sådanne klager over lovgivningsmæssige retsakter, hvis vedtagelse det ifølge forfatningen skal høres om.
In keeping with the creation of the post of Minister for Foreign Affairs (see section 6.5 above), the holder of which will, in institutional terms, wear two hats' and will be responsible for conducting the common foreign and security policy and coordinating all aspects of the EU's external relations, the Constitution now brings all areas of EU external action together in a separate title (Title V of Partm).
Disse mekanismer er yderligere garantier mod en eventuel uovervejet udøvelse af Unionens kompetencer og bidrager i høj grad til at styrke den demokratiske kontrol og fælles skabslovgivningen. .
Unanimity will continue to be the rule in the common foreign and security policy sphere, which continues to come under essentially intergovernmental procedures and in which the European Council plays the dominant role.
5.6 Selv om det for at få et fuldstændigt overblik over de konkrete former for udøvelse af disse be føjelser vil være nødvendigt at sammenholde denne definition med de specifikke bestemmelser i forfatningens del II, kan den europæiske borger blot ved at læse del I danne sig et ret klart indtryk af, hvem der gør hvad i Europa.
Qualified majority voting will apply only to the implementation of decisions taken by the European Council (or proposals submitted by the Minister at the European Council's request) or the Council.
Dette er et klart fremskridt for gennemskueligheden.
Provision has, however, been made for an 'emergency brake' in cases where a Member State opposes the adoption of a decision by a qualified majority for vital reasons of national policy.
