He told the representatives of Europe's cities and regions that the task of the Italian Presidency would be to carry forward the outcome of the Convention into the Intergovernmental Conference, due to begin in October.
Enrico La Loggia fûrklarade fûr fûretrêdarna fûr stêder och regioner i Europa att det italienska ordfûrandeskapets u p p g i Π var att lyckas ûverfûra resultaten frìn konventet till den regeringskonferens som skulle inledas i oktober.
He argued that the IGC should focus only on the key points of political disagreement rather than reopening the whole range of issues.
Han ansìg att regeringskonferensen borde koncentrera sig uteslutande pì de punkter som êr fûremìl fûr politisk oenighet och inte granska samtliga frìgor.
Other priorities for the presidency were to improve synergy between European «nancial institutions, notably including the European Investment Bank, to make progress in tackling illegal immigration and to reinforce Europe's relationships with its Balkan and Mediterranean neighbours and with the United States and Russia.
Han meddelade att de ûvriga prioriteringarna fûr det italienska ordfûrandeskapet var att fûrbêttra s y nffe r g i e C e k t e r n a mellan de europeiska «nansiella institutionerna (bland dem Europeiska investeringsbanken i synnerhet), nì framsteg i frìgan om illegal invandring samt fûrstêrka relationerna mellan EU och dess grannar pì Balkan och i Medelhavsomrìdet samt med Fûrenta staterna och Ryssland.
What you sow now you will reap later in terms of public opinion and rati«cation votes.'
Jag hoppas att andra ocksì motstìr den hêr frestelsen.
I hope others will also resist this temptation or the whole constructive consensus reached in the Convention would be reopened to no-one's bene«t.'
Annars skulle man riva upp hela det konstruktiva samfûrstìnd som uppnìddes i konventet, vilket inte gynnar nìgon.•

He informed the representatives of European towns and regions about the priorities of European research policy.
Philippe Busquin redogjorde fûr EU:s politiska prioriteringar pì forskningsomrìdet fûr fûretrêdarna fûr stêderna och regionerna i Europa.
`Europe currently spends around 2 % of GDP on research and development.
•Europa satsar fûr nêrvarande omkring tvì procent av BNP pì forskning och utveckling.
Our aim is to increase this to 3 % and narrow the gap on research spending with the United States.
Det êr vìrt mìl att hûja detta till tre procent och minska k l y Π a n till Fûrenta staterna i frìga om forskningssatsningar.
A major aim is to improve the conditions for research investment by the private sector and in particular small and medium sized enterprises.
Ett ûverordnat mìl êr att fûrbêttra villkoren fûr den privata sektorns forskningsinvesteringar, sêrskilt i de smì och medelstora fûretagen.
Regions have an important role in this, whether it is in funding science parks or giving grants to SMEs for research projects.
Regionerna har en betydelsefull roll i detta sammanhang, antingen det handlar om att «nansiera 'vetenskapsparker' eller att bevilja anslag till mindre fûretags forskningsprojekt.
From January 2004, regional aid to small businesses' high level research and development will no longer need to be noti«ed in advance to the Commission's competition authorities.'
Frìn och med januari 2004 behûver regionalt stûd till smìfûretags forskning och utveckling pì hûgre nivì inte lêngre fûrhandsanmêlas till kommissionens konkurrensmyndigheter.•
He remarked on the progress of the Intergovernmental Conference, spearheaded by the Italian Presidency.
Alberto Gagliardi yttrade sig om hur regeringskonferensens arbeten framskrider under det italienska ordfûrandeskapets ledning.
He began by emphasising the `balanced nature' of the d r a Π Treaty proposals.
Han understrûk fûrst den •balans• som karakteriserar fûrslagen i utkastet till fûrdrag.
With reference to Article 5 (recognition of local and regional autonomy) and Article 9 (subsidiarity and proportionality), he was pleased that the d r a Π established `a better distribution of competences between the European Union and the Member States'.
Med hênvisning till artiklarna 5 (erkênnandet av det lokala och regionala sjêlvstyret) och 9 (principerna om subsidiaritet och proportionalitet) vêlkomnade han att utkastet innebêr en •bêttre befogenhetsfûrdelning mellan Europeiska unionen och medlemsstaterna. [...]
He set out the priorities of the forthcoming Irish Presidency.
Fûrst tog han upp unionens utvidgning: •Europas enande fûrverkligas.
He started with EU enlargement: `Τe uni«cation of Europe is underway, but the enlargement process will not end in May 2004.
Men utvidgningsprocessen tar inte slut i maj 2004.
Negotiations will continue with Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia, and the accession negotiations with Turkey should be launched in December 2004'.
Fûrhandlingarna fortsêtter med Rumênien, Bulgarien och Kroatien, och anslutningsfûrhandlingarna med Turkiet inleds fûrmodligen i december 2004.•
Mr Gallagher said that enlargement would strengthen the security and stability of the Union, and provide Europe with new economic opportunities.
Pat the Cope Gallagher fûrklarade att utvidgningen leder till en fûrstêrkning av sêkerheten och stabiliteten i unionen och att den ger Europa nya ekonomiska mûjligheter.
Τe future presidency would show solidarity with the new Member States. `We must support their need for development'. Stressing that the Structural Funds had contributed to Ireland's success, Mr Gallagher said that the accession countries had to be `at the heart of cohesion policy a Π e r 2006'.
Han framhûll att det kommande ordfûrandeskapet kommer att stûdja de nya medlemsstaterna: •Vi mìste bistì dem i deras utvecklingsstrêvanden.• Pat the Cope Gallagher understrûk att strukturfonderna hade bidragit till Irlands framgìngar och fûrklarade att de anslutande lênderna borde •stì i centrum fûr den framtida sammanhìllningspolitiken e Π e r 2006•.
More generally, he added, `the forthcoming Irish Presidency will ensure cohesion policy is followed up.'
Han tillade i allmênna ordalag att •det kommande irlêndska ordfûrandeskapet fortlûpande kommer att fûlja upp samman-hìllningspolitiken•.
Improving the economic situation would also be a top priority of the presidency.
Fûrbêttringen av den ekonomiska situationen kommer ocksì att vara en prioriterad frìga fûr nêsta ordfûrandeskap.
