NATO PA TIMELINE FINAL HAGUE.Pdf 1955 2015 60 years of parliamentary diplomacy 60 years of parliamentary diplomacy The idea of engaging Alliance Parliamentarians in collective deliberations on the problems confronting the transatlantic partnership first emerged in the early 1950s. The Assembly’s creation reflected a desire on the part of legislators to give substance to the premise of the Washington Treaty – particularly Article 2 – that NATO is as an Alliance of democracies. Sir Geoffrey de Freitas (United Kingdom) President of the North Atlantic Assembly 1977-1978 As early as 1951, he called for the Assembly of the Council of Europe to be transformed into an Atlantic Assembly which, he believed, should have a formal consultative role within NATO. Mr Finn Moe (Norway) Senator Guy Gillette (United States) Chairman of the Norwegian Parliament’s Foreign In 1952, he was a participant in the Affairs Committee, and one of the co-organizers meeting between American and Canadian of the first Conference of Members of Parliament legislators which unanimously called for the from the NATO Countries creation of a NATO parliamentary Assembly. In 1953, at the Copenhagen International Study Conference on the Atlantic Community, he drafted the resolution which called for the creation of an advisory conference of NATO parliamentarians. The first “Conference of Members of Parliament from the NATO Countries” was held at NATO Headquarters at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris on 18-22 July 1955, bringing together 158 parliamentarians from 14 NATO nations. The conference elected Senator Wishart McL. Robertson of Canada as its President, and agreed to establish a Continuing Committee – the precursor of the Standing Committee – consisting of the President, three vice- Presidents, and one representative from each delegation. It also decided to appoint a small, part-time secretariat, initially based in London until it moved to Paris in 1960. 60 years of parliamentary diplomacy In 1956, the NATO Committee of Three’s Report on Non-Military Cooperation in NATO recommended closer relations between NATO and the parliamentary conference. 58. (…) the formation of national Parliamentary Associations and the activities of the Conference of Members of Parliament from NATO countries have contributed to the development of public support for NATO and solidarity among its members. 59. In order to maintain a close relationship of Parliamentarians with NATO, the following arrangements are recommended: a. that the Secretary General continue to place the facilities of NATO Headquarters at the disposal of Parliamentary Conferences and give all possible help with arrangements for their meetings; b. that invited representatives of member governments and the Secretary General and other senior NATO civil and military officers attend certain of these meetings. (…).” Committees were established during the second conference in 1956. In 1958, the number of Committees was set to five – Economic, Cultural Affairs and Information, Military, Political, and Scientific and Technical. Although committee titles and terms of reference have evolved over the years, this basic structure remains today. The 12th Conference unanimously agreed to rename the organisation as the North Atlantic Assembly. In December 1967, the North Atlantic Council (NAC) authorised the NATO Secretary General to strengthen co-operation with the Assembly. Since then, the NATO Secretary General addresses Assembly sessions, and responds in writing to the recommendations and resolutions adopted by the Assembly. Following France’s withdrawal from NATO’s military structure in 1966, NATO and the NAA moved their respective headquarters from Paris to Brussels The leaders of Allied governments, in their Declaration on Atlantic Relations, recognised that: “The cohesion of the Alliance has found expression not only in co-operation among their governments, but also in the free exchange of views among the elected representatives of the peoples of the Alliance." This declaration endorsed the work of the Assembly without mentioning it directly. Leaders of the US Delegation, Senator Jacob Javits, Congressman Wayne Hays with Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, greeting Assembly member, Piet Dankert (Netherlands) and other members In 1980, the Assembly began holding two plenary sittings each year. With the introduction of a plenary session in the spring in addition to the autumn annual session, the pattern of Assembly activities was set to remain largely unchanged until the end of the Cold War. 60 years of parliamentary diplomacy In the late 1980s, the Assembly reacted promptly to a rapidly changing security environment. By reaching out to Central and Eastern Europe, involving legislators from countries in the region in co-operation and dialogue, and assisting them in exercising effective parliamentary oversight and control, the Assembly made a vital contribution to the construction of a more stable, secure and democratic Europe. First Assembly visit to a former Warsaw Pact country. The Sub-Committee on Central and Eastern Europe travels to Budapest at the invitation of the Hungarian National Assembly. First Assembly visit to Moscow At the Annual Session in London, the Assembly adopted Resolution 224 on ’New Regional Responsibilities for a Transformed Alliance’ which created the new status of ’associate delegation’. This status allowed the integration of parliaments from Central and Eastern Europe into Assembly activities before the establishment of Assembly President Charlie Rose (United States)with the leaders of the equivalent ties by NATO itself. delegations of the three newly independent Baltic states taking their place as associate delegations, Madrid, 1991. Then President of the Assembly Congressman Charlie Rose and Senator William Roth initiated a substantial programme of practical assistance to the partner parliaments with a particular focus on the development of appropriate civil-military relations. Charlie Rose William Roth The Rose-Roth initiative remains today the Assembly’s primary tool for engagement with delegations from non-NATO member countries. The first Rose Roth seminar was held in Lithuania in a tense environment with Soviet troops still present in the country Sandbags in the Lithuanian parliament as a precaution against further violence, December 1991. 60 years of parliamentary diplomacy In 1996, the Assembly established a Mediterranean and Special Group (GSM), a forum for co-operation and discussion with parliaments from the Middle East and North Africa. Meeting of the Mediterranean Special Group with the Marrakech Chamber of Commerce, during a visit to Morocco, April 2004. Countries aspiring to become NATO members used the Assembly as a channel to build support for their integration into Euro-Atlantic structures. The requirement for parliamentary ratification gave an additional emphasis to Assembly debates on enlargement. The Assembly was directly concerned with assisting in the process of ratification of the Protocols of Accession signed at the end of 1997, which culminated in the accession of the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland to the Alliance in March 1999. At the historic Madrid Summit, in which Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland were formally invited to accede to NATO, then NATO PA President, US Senator William Roth, addressed NATO Heads of State and Government. The invitation from NATO leaders to Senator Roth represented a tacit acknowledgement that the Assembly had played a key role in paving the way to enlargement, and would have a central role in encouraging parliamentary ratification of enlargement. Since then, NATO PA Presidents have been invited to address all NATO Summits. In 1998, the Assembly established a Joint Monitoring Group with the Russian parliament to oversee implementation of the NATO-Russia Founding Act and a Joint Monitoring Group with Ukraine to oversee implementation of the NATO- Ukraine Charter on a Distinctive Partnership. The NATO-Russia Joint Monitoring Group at NATO headquarters being briefed by senior NATO and Russian military representatives, 1998. In 1999, the North Atlantic Assembly was renamed as the “NATO Parliamentary Assembly” to take into account the profound transformation it had undergone since its creation.

As NATO adapts to these new challenges, the NATO Parliamentary Assembly plays a key role in explaining the reality and requirements of today’s security environment to citizens in Europe and North America, and dispelling misperceptions about NATO. The US National Defence University hosted the first Parliamentary Transatlantic Forum in Washington, the largest annual gathering of European parliamentarians in the United States Nancy Pelosi & John Tanner In 2002, the NATO PA-Russia Joint Monitoring Group became the NATO-Russia Parliamentary Committee; The NATO-Ukraine Joint Monitoring Group became the Ukraine- NATO Inter-parliamentary Council

Joustra (1921-1996) Arendo Joustra, Het hof van Brussel of hoe Europa Nederland overneemt 6 ‘Het hele recht, het hele idee van een eenwordend Europa, wordt gedragen door een leger mensen dat op zoek is naar een volgende bestemming, die het blijkbaar niet in zichzelf heeft kunnen vinden, of in de liefde. Het leger offert zich moedwillig op aan dit traagkruipende monster zonder zich af te vragen waar het vandaan komt, en nog wezenlijker, of het wel bestaat.’ Oscar van den Boogaard, Fremdkörper (1991) Arendo Joustra, Het hof van Brussel of hoe Europa Nederland overneemt 9 Inleiding - Aan het hof van Brussel Het verhaal over de Europese Unie begint in Brussel. Want de hoofdstad van België is tevens de zetel van de voornaamste Europese instellingen. Feitelijk is Brussel de ongekroonde hoofdstad van de Europese superstaat. Hier komt de wetgeving vandaan waaraan in de vijftien lidstaten van de Europese Unie niets meer kan worden veranderd. Dat is wennen voor de nationale hoofdsteden en regeringscentra als het Binnenhof in Den Haag. Het spel om de macht speelt zich immers niet langer uitsluitend af in de vertrouwde omgeving van de Ridderzaal. Het is verschoven naar Brussel. Vrijwel ongemerkt hebben diplomaten en Europese functionarissen de macht op het Binnenhof veroverd en besturen zij in alle stilte, ongezien en ongecontroleerd, vanuit Brussel de ‘deelstaat’ Nederland.

  • Montesquieu Paper6.Pdf
    The Quest for a Vision for Europe: Lessons to be learned from Dutch and German Debates on the Future Democracy of European Union Hanco Jürgens, Amsterdam Institute for German Studies (DIA)/ Montesquieu Institute In November 2012, a day before Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte went to Brussels to join the EU summit, he apologized in Parliament for being not very specific about his efforts in the negotiations. He said he has to speak “with his mouth full of meal”, meaning that he could not answer the questions of the Members of Parliament in detail.1 After arriving in Brussels, he confirmed his position by stating that he had come to the EU summit with a loaded gun in his pocket and that it would not be in the Dutch interest to lay down his pistol on the table immediately. In its vagueness, Rutte’s stance is in line with the Dutch EU policy, which is traditionally seen as part of the foreign policy domain. Seen from this perspective, Dutch politicians should not be too open in public about their strategy, since this could harm their position at the EU negotiation table. For several reasons, one may ask whether this position is still accurate. Since the Treaty of Maastricht, the EU has become a policy domain far beyond the field of foreign affairs, concerning not only all ministries, but above all, the peoples of the member states. Therefore, democratic legitimacy and parliamentary control has become an important issue. One might ask why Dutch parliament allows its Prime Minister to keep his gun in his pocket.

Na de val van de Berlijnse muur in 1989 en de ondergang van het communisme startte Brussel de onderhandelingen met de staten in Midden- en Oost-Europa over toetreding. Naast de uitbreiding werd de Europese samenwerking ook verder geïntensiveerd. ‘Den Haag’ was van deze verbreding en verdieping een groot voorstander. Hoe federa- listisch de Nederlandse regering (sinds 1989 gevormd door cda en pvda) was bleek op 30 september 1991, toen premier Ruud Lubbers als voorzitter van de Europese Raad voorstellen deed om te komen tot een Europese Politieke Unie waarin betrekkelijk grote bevoegdheden waren toegekend aan de Europese organen, inclusief het Europees Parlement. De ambitieuze blauwdruk kwam grotendeels uit de koker van pvda’er Piet Dankert, staatssecretaris van Buitenlandse Zaken, belast met Euro- pese samenwerking. Vrijwel alle andere lidstaten waren van dit ontwerp niet gediend, zodat de deconfiture als ‘zwarte maandag’ de geschiede- nis in zou gaan. Lubbers mocht dan op Europees niveau zijn hand hebben overspeeld, in Den Haag kon hij op de warme steun van de coalitiepartijen rekenen – en zelfs die van de beide oppositiepartijen d66 en de vvd.1 In de pro-Europese Haagse harmonie begon echter enige verande- ring te komen door toedoen van vvd-leider Frits Bolkestein. Hij kriti- seerde openlijk het streven van zijn partij naar ‘een Europese Unie op federale grondslag’, en de daarbij horende overdracht van soevereiniteit van de lidstaten naar Brussel.
