`I am particularly pleased and moved to be addressing this distinguished Assembly today.
•Jag êr mycket glad och rûrd ûver att i dag fì ta ordet infûr denna framstìende ìhûrarskara.
Besides appreciating the Committee of the Regions' important work in the European integration process and in deepening the Union and securing the support of its citizens, I am linked to this Assembly by special ties and memories of a recent past that cannot be erased by my new duties.(„)'
Fûrutom att Regionkommittïn har gjort viktiga insatser i byggandet av Europa, bidrar till att fûrdjupa samarbetet inom EU och verkar fûr att ûka det nûdvêndiga stûdet frìn medborgarna, har jag en sêrskild anknytning till kommittïn och minnen frìn den senaste tiden som mitt nuvarande uppdrag inte kan ûverskugga [„].

Min tid inom kommittïn och det faktum att jag ingick i dess fûrsta ledning, vilket jag êr mycket stolt ûver, har lêmnat bestìende minnen och fûrvissat mig om att dess nuvarande och framtida verksamhet êr ett nûdvêndigt bidrag fûr att berika och hûja e C e k t i v i t e t e n i detta projekt som vi alla delar.•

Franz Fischler, kommissionsledamot med ansvar fûr jordbruk och landsbygdsutveckling t t f o r u m ̌ 1 9 9 4 › 2 0 0 4
He expressed concern at the rural exodus, which, regrettably, was continuing in the Member States.
Franz Fischler oroade sig ûver landsbygds‹ykten som tyvêrr fortgìr i medlemsstaterna.
Some 500 programmes to promote rural areas were currently in existence; among other things, these aimed to support the economic diversi«cation of these areas.
Han framhûll att det fûr nêrvarande «nns nêstan 500 program som s y Π a r till att gynna landsbygdsomrìdena, bland annat genom stûd till en diversi«ering av ekonomin inom sektorn.
He welcomed the convergence he had noticed between the work of the Commission's services and those of the Committee of the Regions, which had drawn up several opinions on rural development.
Han stêllde sig positiv till den ûverensstêmmelse han kunnat konstatera mellan arbetet inom kommissionen och Regionkommittïn, som har utarbetat ‹era yttranden om landsbygdsutveckling.
He wanted to involve the Committee of the Regions in the information campaign on new communication technologies launched by the European Commission, stressing that keeping the public informed was the very foundation of European democracy.
Marcelino Oreja ville involvera Regionkommittïn i den informationskampanj om ny kommunikationsteknik som Europeiska kommissionen lanserat och framhûll att informationen till medborgarna utgûr grunden fûr EU:s demokrati.
Mr DEHAENE, the Belgian Prime Minister, who had been invited to this plenary session, was not able to attend due to other commitments
Jean-Luc Dehaene, premiêrminister i den belgiska regeringen, hade inbjudits att delta vid plenarsessionen men kunde inte delta pì grund av andra uppdrag.
A video produced by the Press ODce on the Committee of the Regions was shown before the opinions were discussed.
En video om Regionkommittïn framstêlld av presstjênsten presenterades fûre beredningen av yttranden.
An item was also added to the agenda to allow for a debate on the involvement of members of the Committee of the Regions in the Summit of Regions and Cities of the European Union that was to take place in Rotterdam on 15 and 16 May 1997.
En ny punkt lades till fûr att diskutera R e K - l e d a m û t e r n a s deltagande i toppmûtet fûr regioner och stêder i EU som skulle hìllas den 15›16 maj 1997 i Amsterdam.
Τe d r a Π estimates of the Committee's expenditure and revenue for the 1998 «nancial year, which had already provoked lively debate at the Bureau meeting the previous day, were amended and adopted.
Det preliminêra budgetfûrslaget fûr 1998, som hade fûrorsakat h ê Π i g a diskussioner vid presidiesammantrêdet fûregìende dag, êndrades och antogs.
She noted that the development of conurbations depended on an integrated approach to the various policies (social, economic and cultural) aimed at promoting them.
Monika Wulf-Mathies framhûll att utvecklingen av stadsomrìdena krêver att handlingsprogrammen som avser dessa omrìden och som omfattar ekonomiska, sociala och kulturella frìgor genomfûrs pì ett samordnat sêtt.
She added that it would be helpful for the d i C e r e n t players at local, regional, national and European levels to take coordinated steps.
Dessutom êr det nûdvêndigt att det «nns en samsyn mellan de berûrda parterna pì kommunal, regional, nationell och europeisk nivì.
Τe Commission would like to have a more in-depth debate on the future of cities and to involve the Committee of the Regions heavily in this.
Hon understrûk att kommissionen skulle vilja fûrdjupa debatten om stêdernas framtid och k r a Π f u l l t engagera Regionkommittïn i denna debatt.

Valïry Giscard d'Estaing, ordfûrande i Europeiska kommuners och regioners rìd, fûre detta president i Frankrike och ledamot i Regionkommittïn
He commented that it was to Europe, with its resources and the diversity of its States and regions, that we owe some of the greatest cultural, artistic, philosophical, scienti«c and political movements in the history of humanity.
•Fûrst och frêmst êr det givet att vi i dag behûver utveckla mer tillfredsstêllande former av partnerskap mellan de lokala och regionala myndigheterna, kommissionen och
To give an example, such partnership could come into play at an earlier stage, i.e. not only when it comes to implementing projects but also at the earlier stage, i.e. at the programming and negotiation stages.'

Jacques Santer, ordfûrande fûr Europeiska kommissionen
`At a time when we are embarking on an integrated European employment strategy, I would like to underline the contribution that the local and regional authorities can make to this strategy and appeal for your support in helping the Commission to make good our common concern for ensuring consistency between Community policies.
•I samband med att vi hìller pì att inleda en integrerad europeisk sysselsêttningsstrategi skulle jag vilja ta upp den lokala och regionala nivìns bidrag till denna strategi i s y Π e att uppmuntra er att hjêlpa till att sêkerstêlla samstêmmigheten mellan de gemenskapspolitiska ìtgêrderna, nìgot som êr mycket viktigt fûr kommissionen.
You are members of a body whose task it is to formulate ideas and proposals aimed at greater consistency of action between all the Union's public authorities; a task which you have been doing since the beginning of the territorial pacts approach.

Ni har stor erfarenhet men ocksì ett stort ansvar.•
` C o R representatives have on various occasions already participated intensively in the discussion of reform of the Structural Funds. For example, at the Cohesion Forum in April, your Commission contributed to the discussion with the opinions of Mr Fraga Iribarne and Mr Behrendt. '
•Vid ‹era tidigare tillfêllen har fûretrêdare fûr R e K deltagit aktivt i diskussionerna om reformen av strukturfonderna, exempelvis i samband med sammanhìllningsforumet i april, och utskott 1 har nu bidragit genom det yttrande som utarbetats av Manuel Fraga Iribarne och Rembert Behrendt.
`I am convinced that large-scale participation of the regional and local operators in the drawing up, implementation and evaluation of programmes will enhance the quality of structural policy.'
Jag êr ûvertygad om att strukturpolitikens kvalitet kommer att fûrbêttras om de lokala och regionala aktûrerna fìr stûrre utrymme i programmens utformning, genomfûrande och kvalitetsutvêrdering.•

If in this new term of o D c e , further progress is made on its internal set-up, the C o R , as the indisputable mediator between Brussels and the cities and regions of the Union, will be able to exert even more e C e c t i v e in‹uence.
