CE 2-1972 5 THE PROSPECTS FOR THE ENLARGED COMMUNITY by Mr ]ean-Franfois Deniau~ Member of the Commission After the signing on 22 January 1972 of the Treaty uniting the United Kingdom, Denmark, Ireland and Norway to the European Community of. the Six, the Community will , never be quite the same again nor fundamentally different. It will not be the same, since the admission of four new members, among which is Great Britain, give it a size and weight in the world which is very considerable. It will not be different since the negotiations now ending have resulted in a balanced Treaty in which account has been taken of the worries and problems of the candidate countries but which had found solutions which fully respect what the Com­ munity has achieved. It has to be stressed again that the negotia­ tions were carried out amongst the participants in a really coopera­ tive spidt and this is a favourable factor which could be very important in the future. As long as the United Kingdom and other European countries were not part of it, the Community was incomplete and the uncertainty in this respect affected all projects for deepening it both from a technical and political point of view. The entry of Great Britain establishes a clear situation from now on and offers a new chance to an enlarged Europe which is now in a position to look for new openings again, and to take advantage of "a second wind", but there will be no lack of difficulties, some aggravated by the enlarge­ ment itself~ From an internal point of view, it will sometimes be harder to ensure the cohesion of the Community as a result of the increase in numbers of its members and the necessity of having to take into consideration often very special situations. From the outside, the size of the new Community extended by numerous association agreements has already provoked apprehension or attacks. Therefore, one of the first tasks of the enlarged_ Community will be to define in regard to the Third World a role which is in keeping Bull. CE 2-1972 7 with its responsibilities. It must not create the image of a club of rich countries engaged amongst themselves with their particular problem~, and, in the debate opened by the United States on the "sharing of burdens", I think that the best reply Europe can give in the face of the temporary American difficulties is to take up the torch in the matter of aid. This must be done in line with and even as a reinforcement of' what the Community has already achieved with regard to the present associates and must be supple­ mented by an appropriate policy in regard to the other regions of the world. · It is £ertain that, with the United States as with the other large industrial countries, the enlarged Community will have to negotiate an adaptation of its relations. Such negotiations will not yield serious and lasting results unless they are founded on the notion of reciprocity and impose on each certain disciplines. Just as it would be a good thing to lay down, on a international plane, rules and. terms of reference valid for everyone, which would make it possible to follow and, where necessary, to correct the movement of trade, so it would be intolerable to place the Community under a sort of permanent control because of the argument of possible harmful consequences for international trade. In other terms, the problem· of the relations of the Community with Eastern Europe is still one of the dangers of commitments· which would limit, a priori, its chances of internal development. To recognize that the enlarged European Community creates a new situation for us and the other countries of the world is to acknowl­ edge an obvious fact. To accept the idea of discussing the general body of our relations with a view to finding a better balance, on the basis of reciprocity is an obligation of good sense which is also in the general interest. To preserve the chances for the Community to develop and to maintain its autonomy is a vital necessity which is inseparable from the idea of Europe itself, and its most profound justifications. The greatest danger for the European idea in the years to come is "freezing", the "status-quo", i.e. whatever be the name chosen, the inability to translate desires into action, be it as a result of internal difficulties in making the necessary decisions or as a result of pressure or limitations from outside. Europe has no meaning unless it can progressively spread into new fields and mark qp constant progress, day after day, or at least if 8 Bull. CE 2-1972 no field, no progress is, a priori, forbidden to it. It has always needed, at one and the same time, pragmatism in achieving its objectives and imagination in choosing the objectives themselves. What was true yesterday will be yet more true tomorrow.

CEREMONIAL CONCLUSION OF THE NEGOTIATIONS ON ENLARGEMENT On 22 January 1972 the Final Act of the Conference on negotiations with the applicant ·states, the Treaty and the other documents drawn up by the Conference were signed during a ceremony at the Palais d'Egmont in Brussels.

  • Møte for Lukkede Dører I Stortinget
    Den utvidede utenriks- og konstitusjonskomite Møte fredag den 27. april 1973 kl. 9. [396] Den utvidede utenriks- og konstitusjonskomite Møte fredag den 27. april 1973 kl. 9. Møtet ble ledet av formannen, Helge Seip. Til stede var: Trygve Bratteli, Kjell Magne Fredheim, Knut Frydenlund, Guttorm Hansen, Paul Thyness (for Otto Lyng), Tor Oftedal, Lars T. Platou (for Erling Petersen), Helge Seip, Johan Østby, Bernt Ingvaldsen, Gunnar Alf Larsen, Annemarie Lorentzen (for Ingvar Bakken), Karl J. Brommeland, Rolf Fjeldvær, Halfdan Hegtun (for Gunnar Garbo), Arnt Hagen, Gunnar Berge (for Sonja Ludvigsen), Sverre Nybø og Svenn Stray. Av Regjeringens medlemmer var til stede: utenriksminister Dagfinn Vårvik. Følgende embetsmenn fra Utenriksdepartementet ble gitt adgang til møtet: statssekretær Tormod P. Svennevig, ekspedisjonssjef Kjeld Vibe, ambassadør Rolf Busch, politisk sekretær Asbjørn Ringen og byråsjef Olav Bucher-Johannessen. Dagsorden: Spørsmålet om besøk av NATO’s Middelhavsflåte. Formannen: Utenriksministeren har bedt om å få dette møtet i dag for å rådføre seg med komiteen om en sak i forbindelse med NATO-samarbeidet. Jeg gir ordet til utenriksministeren. Utenriksminister Dagfinn Vårvik: I innkallelsen står det at det er «Spørsmålet om besøk av NATO’s Middelhavsflåte» som skal behandles her. Det er en kanskje noe upresis formulering. Det det dreier seg om, [397] er et eventuelt besøk i Barcelona i Spania av en felles NATO-flåtestyrke. Jeg skal innledningsvis gi litt bakgrunnsstoff når det gjelder denne spesielle Middelhavsflåten. I januar 1969 vedtok NATO’s Forsvarsplanleggingskomite på statsrådsnivå å opprette en NATO-flåte i Middelhavet bestående av skip fra Hellas, Tyrkia, Italia, USA og Storbritannia. Disse skip opererer periodevis som en enhet under NATO- flagg i Middelhavet under navnet Naval on Call Force Mediterranean.

  • Who Needs Norwegians?" Explaining the Oslo Back Channel: Norway’S Political Past in the Middle East
    Evaluation Report 9/2000 Hilde Henriksen Waage "Norwegians? Who needs Norwegians?" Explaining the Oslo Back Channel: Norway’s Political Past in the Middle East A report prepared by PRIO International Peace Research Institute, Oslo Institutt for fredsforskning Responsibility for the contents and presentation of findings and recommendations rests with the author. The views and opinions expressed in the report do not necessarily correspond with the views of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Preface In September 1998, I was commissioned by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to carry out a preliminary study looking into Norway’s role in the Middle East. According to the agreement with the Ministry, the study should focus on the years prior to 1993 and examine whether Norway’s political past in the Middle East – and, not least, the mediating and confidence-building efforts of Norwegians prior to the opening of the secret Oslo Back Channel – had had any influence on the process that followed. The study should also try to answer the question ‘Why Norway?’ – that is, what had made Norway, of all countries, suitable for such an extraordinary task? The work on the study started on 15 September 1998. The date of submission was stipulated as 15 April 2000. This was achieved. The following report is based on recently declassified and partly still classified documents (to which I was granted access) at the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the verbatim records of the Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee, records of government proceedings and the Norwegian Parliament, Labour Party Archives, documents from the US State Department and the Socialist International – to mention the most important.

Innhold Om å avkle Den godes makt – et forord Jeg har følt et visst ubehag ved å skrive denne boken. For hva er poenget med å bruke tid på en kritisk maktstudie av et norsk miljø av utrettelige fredsmeklere, velmenende parlamentarikere og idealistiske bistandsarbeidere? Analysen er forfattet med en slik ambivalens som undertekst. Men samtidig er det nettopp denne ambivalensen som jeg har måttet overvinne. Den nærmest uangripelige posisjon som grunnlaget for norsk bistands- og fredspolitikk har hatt i norsk offentlighet har sammenheng med nettopp dette – observatørers frykt for at nøkterne, kritiske analyser kan ødelegge for Den gode sak. Men forestillingen om «Det gode prosjekt» er en abstraksjon. Det er en myte som pidestalliserer hele prosjektet om Norge som bistandsmakt og aktiv fredsmekler på den globale arena.

  • LEDESTJERNEN SOM FORSVANT Storbritannia I Norsk Utenrikspolitikk
    LEDESTJERNEN SOM FORSVANT Storbritannia i norsk utenrikspolitikk Kristin M. Haugevik [email protected] I tiårene etter andre verdenskrig var Storbritannia Norges uttalt viktigste allierte, med en sentral plass i norsk utenrikspolitisk strategi og i det utenrikspolitiske ordskiftet. Storbritannia er utvilsomt fortsatt materielt og strategisk viktig for Norge, men er i dag lite til stede i norsk utenrikspolitisk strategi og debatt. Hva har skjedd? I denne artikkelen forklarer jeg hvorfor strategiske og materielle forklaringer bør suppleres med en analyse av hvordan Norges identitet vis-à-vis Storbritannia gradvis har endret seg. Storbritannia er viktig for Norge. Utenriksdepartementet slår det fast hele sju ganger på sine landsider om det norsk-britiske forholdet (UD 2015). Fra regjeringshold er det blitt sagt enda sterkere: «Båndene til Storbritannia er kanskje de nærmeste Norge har til noe land utenfor Skandinavia», skrev statsminister Kjell Magne Bondevik i 2002 (Bondevik 2002). Storbritannia er det landet Norge «har flest møtepunkter med globalt», fastslo utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre noen år senere (sitert i Harbo 2007). Budskapet synes altså å være at Storbritannia ikke bare er viktig for Norge, men viktigere enn partnerland flest. Denne observasjonen leder oss imidlertid til et paradoks. For mens Norge siden 1999 har hatt en eksplisitt strategi og handlingsplan for sitt bilaterale forhold til Tyskland, finnes det i dag ingen tilsvarende, overordnet ambisjon for forholdet til Storbritannia. Tvert imot erkjennes det i diplomatiske kretser at forholdet til Storbritannia nok har båret preg av en viss «vennlig forsømmelse» de senere år.1 I norsk offentlighet snakkes det generelt lite om Storbritannia – selv ikke ved antatt naturlige anledninger.

  • Attacking the Sacred Cow. the Norwegian Challenge to the EC's
    59 Attacking the Sacred Cow. The Norwegian Challenge to the EC’s Acquis Communautaire in the Enlargement Negotiations of 1970-72 Robin M. ALLERS On 30 June 1970 the European Communities (EC) opened membership negotiations with Great Britain, Ireland, Denmark and Norway in Luxembourg.1 This act formally ended a decade of crises most of them caused by French president Charles de Gaulle’s blockade of EC-enlargement.2 Building on the agreement reached at their summit meeting in The Hague in December 1969, the Six were able to meet the candidates with a common negotiating position that emphasised unity. As the acting Council president and the president of the Commission explained in their opening speeches, the EC would insist on the acceptance of the acquis communautaire in its entirety. Furthermore, the candidates would have to agree on the Community’s political goals and the further development of communitarian policies was not to be delayed because of the enlargement process. Derogations from the acquis would not be allowed, only transitional arrangements which had to be the same for all parties.3 Speaking after his colleagues from the other candidate countries, the Norwegian Foreign Minister Svenn Stray managed to shake up the audience. As could have been expected from the application text and the White Paper, his government insisted on a special scheme for Norway’s agriculture which de facto amounted to a permanent exemption of his country from the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Similar to his fellow applicants, Stray further demanded that Norway’s voice should be heard in deliberations on a Common Fisheries Policy (CFP).

Du har hatt en omfattende og mangfoldig politisk karriere, i tillegg til at du har gjort mange andre ting både før og under og etter din politiske karriere, og vi skal prøve å belyse flere spørsmål knyttet til dette i løpet av dagen. Og jeg tenkte at vi kunne begynne med å snakke litt om hvordan du kom inn i politikken. I det skriftlige materialet vi har, så ser vi at du begynner på lokalt nivå, og så kommer du inn på riksnivå etter hvert. Jeg lurte på om du kunne si litt om hvordan den veien var, og litt om overgangen fra lokalpolitikk og rikspolitikk, og – Wenche Frogn Sellæg: Min lokalpolitiske bakgrunn er jo temmelig tynn vil jeg si. Jeg er blitt valgt inn først i kommunestyret i Namsos, men jeg flyttet jo fra Namsos samme høst, så det medførte ett kommunestyremøte. Jeg var også leder av Namsos Høyre da, en veldig kort periode, flyttet ut til nabokommunen Overhalla, hvor jeg en periode satt som varamedlem til kommunestyret og møtte vel i to kommunestyremøter. Så på det lokale nivå så har jeg hatt relativt liten egen erfaring.

  • Hvordan Høyre Forholdt Seg Til Fremskrittspartiet 1973-1990
    Til høyre for Høyre - Hvordan Høyre forholdt seg til Fremskrittspartiet 1973-1990 Fredrik Bøyesen Larsen Masteroppgave ved IAKH UNIVERSITETET I OSLO Høsten 2015 II Til høyre for Høyre - Hvordan Høyre forholdt seg til Fremskrittspartiet 1973-1990 Fredrik Bøyesen Larsen Høsten 2015 III © Fredrik Bøyesen Larsen 2015 Til høyre for Høyre – Hvordan Høyre forholdt seg til Fremskrittspartiet 1973-1990 Fredrik Bøyesen Larsen http://www.duo.uio.no Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo IV Forord Norsk politisk historie har alltid vært min store interesse innenfor historiefaget, og spesielt hvordan de ulike partiene har forholdt seg til hverandre. Derfor var valget av tema på en måte lett da planleggingen av masteroppgaven begynte. Hvilke politiske aktører jeg skulle velge var på ingen måte gitt. Til slutt falt likevel valget på Fremskrittspartiet, først og fremst på grunn av dets fascinerende bakgrunnshistorie. Siden Fremskrittspartiet av mange blir regnet som et parti plassert på ytterste høyre fløy i norsk politikk, var det naturlig å se det i forhold til det partiet som tidligere hadde vært enerådende på høyresiden i norsk politikk, nemlig Høyre. Utgangspunktet for masteroppgaven ble hvordan Høyre forholdt seg til Fremskrittspartiet i perioden 1973-1990. Å få anledning til å undersøke de to partiene nærmere over en lengre periode har både vært interessant og givende. Resultatet foreligger her, og kan forhåpentligvis bidra til å belyse og nyansere temaet ytterligere. Forfatteren er ikke medlem av noe parti, og det har vært en målsetting å presentere historien objektivt, i den grad historieskrivning kan være objektiv. En stor takk til professor Even Lange for uvurderlig veiledning, råd og tips.

  • The Role of the United Kingdom in Norway's History of European
    The Role of the United Kingdom in Norway’s History of European Integration A Study of the 1972 Referendum Vilde Bye Dale Master Thesis in Modern International and Transnational History Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History, Spring 2020 UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Abstract Of the countries that have endeavoured to join the European Union (EU) since its inception in 1957, Norway and the United Kingdom are both anomalous due to their ambivalent approaches to the processes of European integration. Scholars have consistently emphasised the interrelat- edness between the two, and the extent of British influence on Norway on European integration in the post-war period. This study aims to determine how, or if, the British government influ- enced the Norwegian discourse on European integration. Building on primary source material and existing literature on the British-Norwegian relationship, it asks: Why did Norway and the UK follow different paths on the European question in 1972? The eBB and flow of London’s presence in the Norwegian debate is a continuous theme throughout this thesis.
