Det drejer sig altså om at udnytte den tværfaglige karakter af EU's tilgang for dels at reagere effektivt på de nye udfordringer, dels klart at angive, hvad der skiller EU fra en militær alliance.
It would therefore be a question of taking advantage of the interdisciplinary character of the Union's approach, in order both to respond effectively to new challenges and to indicate clearly what distinguishes the European Union from a military alliance.
Desuden vil bistand til håndtering af følgerne af et angreb kun blive ydet efter anmodning fra de civile myndigheder i det pågældende land.
Moreover, assistance for the purpose of managing the consequences of an attack would be provided only at the request of the civilian authorities of the country concerned.
Det Europæiske Råd bør regelmæssigt vurdere truslen, for at et system til hurtig varsling kan fungere.
The European Council should evaluate the threat regularly so that an early-warning system can operate.
I forlængelse af denne forstærkede solidaritet og for at styrke den EU-mekanisme, der allerede findes, kunne man forestille sig, at en pool af civile eller militære enheder specialiseret i civilbeskyttelse, der udpeges af medlemsstaterne, iværksætter fælles træningsprogrammer og koordinerer deres interventioner, så der kan gribes mere effektivt ind i tilfælde af naturkatastrofer eller humanitære katastrofer inden for EU.
Taking this enhanced solidarity further, and to strengthen the existing Community mechanism, a situation might be envisaged in which a pool of specialised civilian or military civil-protection units identified by the Member States undertakes joint training and intervention coordination programmes so as to facilitate more effective intervention in the event of natural or humanitarian disasters within the Union.
b) Bestemmelse om solidaritet og fælles sikkerhed Enkelte medlemmer af gruppen har foreslået, at solidaritetsbegrebet kommer til udtryk i en bredere bestemmelse om solidaritet og fælles sikkerhed, der indskrives i forfatningstraktaten, og hvortil der i bilaget knyttes en politisk erklæring om solidaritet og fælles sikkerhed, for at identificere de forskellige risici, der truer EU, herunder terrorisme, samt midlerne til at imødegå disse.
Some members of the Group proposed that the notion of solidarity be reflected in a broader clause on solidarity and common security which would be incorporated in the Constitutional Treaty and to which would be linked, in an annex to the Treaty, a political declaration on solidarity and common security in order to identify risks of any sort that threaten the Union, including terrorism, and the means of dealing with them.
Den Europæiske Union for sikkerhed og forsvar, der vil være resultatet af denne udvikling, vil ligeledes bidrage til at styrke alliancens europæiske søjle.
The European Security and Defence Union that would be produced by this development would also contribute to the strengthening of the European pillar of the Alliance.
I den forbindelse er det ligeledes blevet foreslået, at de medlemsstater, der ønsker det, i fællesskab kan overtage Bruxelles-traktatens forpligtelser vedrørende gensidig bistand, hvorved WEU vil ophøre.
In this context it was also suggested that Member States which so wished could share between themselves the obligations laid down in the Brussels Treaty relating to mutual assistance, thus bringing to an end the Western European Union.
En sådan bestemmelse om kollektivt forsvar er uacceptabel for nogle af gruppens medlemmer på grund af visse medlemsstaters alliancefri status og for andre af gruppens medlemmer, fordi de mener, at det kollektive forsvar er sikret inden for Den Atlantiske Alliance.
Such a collective defence clause was considered unacceptable by some members for reasons connected with the non-aligned status of certain Member States, and by others who considered that collective defence was covered by the Atlantic Alliance.
På den baggrund mener de medlemmer af gruppen, der går ind for en bestemmelse om kollektivt forsvar, at det vil være hensigtsmæssigt at tillade de medlemsstater, der ønsker at uddybe deres samarbejde og navnlig at overtage forpligtelsen i WEU-traktaten, at gøre det inden for EU's rammer snarere end udenfor.
Under those circumstances, those members of the Group who were in favour of the collective defence clause thought that it would be sensible to allow those Member States wishing to intensify their cooperation, and in particular to take over the commitments of the WEU Treaty, to do so within the framework of the Union rather than outside the Union.
Den nye traktat kunne derfor indføre en form for tættere samarbejde på forsvarsområdet, der er åbent for deltagelse af alle de medlemsstater,
The new Treaty could therefore establish a closer type of cooperation on defence, open to
der måtte ønske at indgå et sådant engagement, og som opfylder de nødvendige betingelser for, at dette engagement er troværdigt, navnlig med hensyn til kommando- og kontrolkapaciteter, styrkernes parathed, interoperabilitet og deployeringsevne.
all Member States wishing to enter into such a commitment and fulfilling the requirements for such a commitment to be credible, in particular in terms of command and control capabilities, force preparedness, interoperability and deployment capabilities.
Beslutningerne skal kun træffes af de medlemsstater, der deltager i denne form for samar-bejde.De nærmere detaljer og beslutningsprocedurerne for dette samarbejde præciseres i teksten om etableringen af dette samarbejde.
Decisions would be taken only by the participating Member States. The methods of operation and decisionmaking procedures for such cooperation would be specified in the text establishing such cooperation.
Kapaciteter og forsvarsmateriel: hen imod et europæisk agentur
Capabilities and armaments: towards a European agency
Udviklingen af kapaciteter er knyttet til udviklingen af forsvarsmateriel.
Development of capabilities is linked to development of armaments.
I den forbindelse støtter en stor del af gruppen oprettelsen på mellemstatsligt grundlag af et europæisk agentur for forsvarsmateriel og strategisk forskning.
In this context, the setting up on an intergovernmental basis of a European Armaments and Strategic Research Agency was supported by many in the Group.
Agenturets første opgaver skal være at sikre opfyldelse af de operationelle behov ved fremme af en harmoniseret indkøbspolitik for medlemsstaterne samt ved støtte til forskning i forsvarsteknologi, herunder militære rumsystemer.
The Agency's initial tasks would be to ensure the fulfilment of operational requirements by promoting a policy of harmonised procurement by the Member States, and to support research into defence technology, including military space systems.
Inden for dette agentur kunne man på europæisk plan integrere allerede eksisterende tættere samarbejde på forsvarsmaterielområdet mellem visse medlemsstater (OCCAR, LoI).
The Agency would incorporate, with a European label, closer forms of cooperation which already exist in the armaments field between certain Member States (OCCAR, LoI).
Agenturet bør ligeledes have til opgave at styrke forsvarssektorens industrielle og teknologiske basis.
The Agency should also be tasked with strengthening the industrial and technological base of the defence sector.
Det bør ligeledes omfatte passende elementer af det samarbejde, som de fleste medlemsstater udvikler inden for WEAG.1
It should also incorporate the appropriate elements of the cooperation that most Member States undertake within the WEAG 1.
– alle de medlemsstater, der ønsker det, kan deltage i agenturet, hvis sammensætning ikke har forbindelse til andre begrænsede former for samarbejde på forsvarsområdet;
– all Member States which so wished could participate in the Agency, the composition of which would not be linked to other, limited forms of defence cooperation;
WEAG - Den Vesteuropæiske Forsvarsmaterielgruppe: gruppe vedrørende samarbejde på forsvarsmaterielområdet mellem 19 europæiske lande (14 medlemmer af EU og 16 medlemmer af NATO), der som mål har harmonisering af programmer og operationelle standarder, samarbejde på forsknings- og teknologiområdet og åbning af markederne.
WEAG – group for armaments cooperation between 19 European countries (14 of which are members of the European Union and 16 members of NATO), the objective being harmonisation of operational programmes and standards, cooperation on research and technology and the opening up of contracts.
– nogle medlemsstater kunne danne særlige grupper baseret på deres engagement i virkeliggørelsen af specifikke projekter inden for forskning, udvikling og materielanskaffelse på grundlag af principperne for, hvordan det nuværende samarbejde som f.eks. OCCAR fungerer;
– certain Member States could constitute specific groups based on a commitment to carry out specific projects in the area of research, development and procurement, on the basis of the principles according to which current forms of cooperation operate, e.g. OCCAR;
– specifikke projekter kan på ad hoc-basis være åbne for lande, der ikke er medlemmer af Den Europæiske Union, navnlig for de WEAG-medlemmer, der ikke er EU-medlem-mer;
– specific projects could also be opened up on an ad hoc basis to countries which are not members of the European Union, in particular to non-Union members of the WEAG;
– lederen af dette agentur kunne endvidere udforme anbefalinger til særlige regler for forsvarsmaterielsektoren med henblik på et europæisk marked, der kan styrke den industrielle basis og optimere militærudgifterne, hvorved rækkevidden af artikel 296 i TEF kunne præciseres under hensyntagen til de indhøstede erfaringer på EU-plan.
– the Head of the Agency might also make recommendations concerning the specific rules to apply to the armaments sector with a view to a European market which would strengthen the industrial base and optimise military spending, thereby enabling the scope of Article 296 TEC to be specified with due regard for experience acquired in Community matters.
Et stort antal af gruppens medlemmer mener, at udviklingen af ESFP kræver en styrkelse af de militære kapaciteter, der er til rådighed for EU - hvad enten det drejer sig om medlemsstaternes tilsagn om at varetage Petersberg-opgaverne eller mere dybtgående tilsagn, som visse medlemsstater kan give indbyrdes i forbindelse med et tættere samarbejde.
Many members of the Group are of the opinion that the development of the ESDP calls for the strengthening of military capabilities available to the Union – with regard to both commitments entered into by Member States in order to fulfil the Petersberg tasks and deeper commitments which might be entered into by certain Member States among themselves under a closer form of cooperation.
Visse medlemmer af gruppen har foreslået, at disse mere dybtgående tilsagn tager form af en protokol knyttet til traktaten, hvorved de stater, der vil, harmoniserer deres militære behov, lægger deres kapaciteter og ressourcer sammen og sikrer en specialisering af deres forsvarsindsats.
Some members of the Group suggested that these deeper commitments take the form of a protocol annexed to the Treaty, whereby those States that so wished would harmonise their military requirements, share their capabilities and resources and ensure some specialisation of their defence efforts.
I den forbindelse er der konstateret et behov for en mekanisme, der skal gøre det muligt at vurdere og forbedre den måde, hvorpå medlemsstaterne opfylder deres tilsagn.
In that context, there is a proven need for a mechanism to evaluate and improve on the way in which Member States fulfil their commitments. A range of objectives might be considered, which would evaluate inter alia:
En række mål kan overvejes, der bl.a. vurderer: nu l l
– the proportion of the defence budget in relation to GNP, and in particular the proportion of equipment and research expenditure in the defence budget;
Denne funktion kunne overdrages til agenturet for forsvarsmateriel, der således vil blive et egentligtkapacitetsagentur, hvis rolle skal bestå i at fremme medlemsstaternes indsats for at forbedre deres kapaciteter.
This function could be entrusted to the Armaments Agency, which would thus become a true Capabilities Agency, with the role of encouraging Member States' efforts to improve capabilities.
Lederen af agenturet kunne således bemyndiges til at overvåge de fremskridt, der gøres af medlemsstaterne med hensyn til kapacitetsudbygning set i relation til de forskellige aftalte mål, samt til at foreslå bestemte lande at deltage i specifikke programmer.
The head of the Agency could thus have the authority to monitor Member States' progress in developing capabilities with regard to the various objectives approved, and to propose that certain countries participate in specific programmes.
Der er bred støtte til indførelsen af et råd af forsvarsministrene, hvilket ikke ville kræve en traktatændring.
There was broad support for the creation of a Council configuration bringing together Ministers for Defence, which would not require any amendment of the Treaty.
Dette Råd skulle spille en rolle i forbindelse med kapaciteter, overvåge iværksættelsen af medlemsstaternes tilsagn og tilpasse EU's kapacitetsmål afhængigt af udviklingen i behovene og i den internationale situation.
This Council would exercise a role with regard to capabilities, monitor implementation of Member States' undertakings in that sphere and adapt the Union's capability objectives to developments in requirements and the international situation.
Hvis ovennævnte agentur oprettes, skal agenturets leder hvert år aflægge rapport til Rådet (forsvar) om udviklingen af de militære kapaciteter i EU.
If the abovementioned Agency were set up, its head would report annually to the Defence Council on the development of military capabilities within the Union.
Forsvarsministrene kunne endvidere deltage i Udenrigsministerrådet, når dette drøfter krisestyringsoperationer.
The Ministers for Defence could also be associated with the Council of Ministers for Foreign Affairs when the latter discusses military crisis management operations.
Enkelte medlemmer af gruppen har meddelt, at de foretrækker at fastholde de nuværende arrangementer, der giver forsvarsministrene mulighed for at samles i Rådet (almindelige anliggender og eksterne forbindelser).
Some members of the Group indicated their preference for maintaining existing arrangements which allow defence ministers to meet in the framework of the General Affairs and External Relations Council.
Den institutionelle ramme: et system, der skal styrkes A. Strukturerne i EFSP
The institutional framework: arrangements to be strengthened
De eksisterende institutionelle strukturer inden for EFSP bør opretholdes. En tilpasning af disse strukturer vil imidlertid være nødvendig for at øge deres sammenhæng og deres effektivitet.
Existing institutional structures in the ESDP area must be maintained.
For at sikre en effektiv forsvarspolitik bør der i Rådet være en politisk personlighed, der med reference til Rådet forestår EU's indsats og koordinerer medlemsstaternes indsats på forsvarsområdet.
In order to ensure the effectiveness of the defence policy, there should be at the Council a political figure who, acting under the Council's authority, directs European Union action and coordinates Member States' efforts as regards defence.
Gruppen mener, at den person, der udøver hvervet som højtstående FUSP-repræ-sentant, også bør forestå EU's indsats på EFSP-området.
The Group takes the view that the figure who performs the duties of High Representative for the CFSP should be given responsibility for Union action in the area of ESDP.
Gruppen understreger ligeledes betydningen af at sikre en passende politisk kontrol med sikkerheds og forsvarspolitikken under hensyntagen til denne sektors særlige karakter.
The Group also underlined the importance of ensuring suitable political scrutiny of security and defence policy, taking account of the specific nature of this field.
Den parlamentariske kontrol udøves på to måder: nu l l
Such scrutiny would be exercised in two ways:

RAPPORT fra: til: Vedr.: formanden for Arbejdsgruppe IX vedrørende Forenkling medlemmerne af konventet Endelig rapport fra Arbejdsgruppe IX vedrørende Forenkling
Chairman of the Working Group IX on Simplification Members of the Convention Final report of Working Group IX on Simplification
Arbejdsgruppens drøftelser tog udgangspunkt i en konstatering: intet er så kompliceret som forenkling.
When the Working Group began its deliberations, one thing was certain: nothing is more complicated than simplification.
Konventets forsøg på at finde frem til en forenkling af EU's instrumenter og procedurer er nemlig en operation, der har betydelige følgevirkninger, og som hænger direkte sammen med graden af demokrati i vore institutioner.
The simplification of the Union's instruments and procedures, as sought by the Convention, is an operation with considerable repercussions and a direct bearing on the level of democracy of our Institutions.
Det EU-system, vi kender, er ikke særlig "læsevenligt", ikke særlig forståeligt for borgerne.
The Union's system as we know it is not very clear or comprehensible to its citizens.
Muligheden for at kritisere systemet er imidlertid en af demokratiets grundpiller.
However, ability to criticise the system is a key factor of democracy.
Borgerne skal kunne forstå systemet for at kunne se, hvor problemerne er, kritisere det og i sidste ende kontrollere det.
Citizens must be able to understand the system so that they can identify its problems, criticise it, and ultimately control it.
At forenkle betyder derfor i første omgang at "gøre læsevenligt", men også at yde garanti for, at retsakter, der har samme juridisk-politiske gyldighed, også har samme grundlag i henseende til demokratisk legitimitet.
To simplify therefore firstly means "to make comprehensible", but also to provide a guarantee that acts with the same legal/political force have the same foundation in terms of democratic legitimacy.
EU's demokratiske legitimitet hviler på staterne og folkene, hvorfor en retsakt altid skal udgå fra de organer, der repræsenterer staterne og folkene, det vil sige Rådet og Europa-Parlamentet.
The democratic legitimacy of the Union is founded on its States and peoples, and consequently an act of a legislative nature must always come from the bodies which represent those States and peoples, namely the Council and the Parliament.
Procedurerne skal derfor gennemgås for at sikre, at de overholder følgende enkle princip: akter, der er af samme art og har samme retsvirkning, skal frembringes efter den samme demokratiske procedure.
Procedures must therefore be reviewed to ensure that they respect this simple principle: acts which have the same nature and the same legal effect must be produced by the same democratic procedure.
Og det ikke til ære for Montesquieu, men af hensyn til demokratiet.
This is not with the aim of paying tribute to Montesquieu, but out of concern for democracy.
At udmønte disse principper til konkrete forslag er den vanskelige opgave, gruppen er blevet pålagt, og inden den indledte drøftelsen om sine anbefalinger til konventet, hørte den en række eksperter med grundigt kendskab til Fællesskabets praksis med hensyn til instrumenter og procedurer1
The arduous task of the Working Group has been to translate such principles into concrete proposals; before beginning discussion of its recommendations to the Convention, the Group questioned experts who have a very thorough knowledge of Community practice regarding instruments and procedures 1.
Gruppens rapport behandler forenkling af instrumenterne, herunder regelhierarkiet, og forenkling af lovgivnings- og budgetprocedurer hver for sig.
The Group's report addresses separately the simplification of instruments, including the hierarchy of legislation, and the simplification of legislative and budgetary procedures.
Denne rapport indeholder de anbefalinger, som har fået bred tilslutning i gruppen.
The report presents recommendations which have achieved broad support within the Group.
En kort sammenfatning af de øvrige forslag, der er fremkommet, findes i bilag II.
A brief summary of the other proposals heard appears in Annex II.
Under drøftelserne kom gruppen ind på en række spørgsmål, der ikke er omfattet af dens mandat.
During its discussions, the Group addressed a number of issues which did not come within its terms of reference.
Bilag III indeholder de spørgsmål, som gruppen finder det nødvendigt at sende videre til konventets plenarmøde.
Annex III sets out those which the Group believes need to be passed on to the Convention plenary.

Forenkling af antallet af EU-instrumenter
(A) Simplification of the number of Union instruments
EU har i øjeblikket 15 forskellige juridiske instrumenter.
At present the Union has 15 different legal instruments.
Nogle af disse instrumenter benævnes forskelligt, men har samme virkninger.
Some of these instruments, although bearing different names, have similar effects.
Gruppen mener, at antallet af juridiske instrumenter, som EU's institutioner råder over, bør reduceres betydeligt for at styrke det demokratiske grundlag for EU's retsorden ved at gøre systemet mere gennemskueligt.
The Working Group considers that the number of legal instruments available to the Union's Institutions should be significantly reduced, with the aim of reinforcing the democratic foundations of the Union's legal system by improving the comprehensibility of the system.
En sådan reduktion må dog ikke gøre instrumenterne mindre fleksible og mindre effektive.
However, this reduction must not compromise their flexibility and efficiency.
Den må heller ikke være til hinder for, at der kan indføres særlige bestemmelser for brugen af et bestemt instrument på et bestemt område.
Nor must it prevent the introduction of particular specifications regarding the use of a given instrument in a given area.
Gruppen foreslår, at EU's instrumenter begrænses til følgende:
The Group thus proposes limiting the instruments of the Union to the following:
Forordning (som foreslås benævnt "Den Europæiske Unions lov" - "EU-lov" - i fremtiden)1.
Regulation (it is proposed that these should be called "European Union laws" – "EU laws" – in future) 1
Der er tale om en retsakt, der er almengyldig, bindende i alle enkeltheder og umiddelbart gældende i hver medlemsstat.
This would be an act of general application, binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Definitionen svarer til den nuværende definition i artikel 249 i TEF.
Its definition would correspond to that currently existing in Article 249 TEC.
Direktiv (som foreslås benævnt "Den Europæiske Unions rammelov" - "EU-rammelov" - i fremtiden).
Directive (it is proposed that these should be called "European Union framework laws" – "EU framework laws" – in future)
