Debates of the European Parliament 1 24-10-2007 EN Debates of the European Parliament 1 WEDNESDAY, 24 OCTOBER 2007 IN THE CHAIR: MR PÖTTERING President 1. Opening of the sitting (The sitting was opened at 9 a.m.) 2. Membership of political groups: see Minutes 3. Written declarations (tabling): see Minutes 4. EU-Turkey relations (debate) President. − The next item is the Council and Commission statements on EU-Turkey relations. Manuel Lobo Antunes, President-in-Office of the Council. − (PT) Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the Presidency would firstly like to thank the European Parliament, and in particular Mrs Oomen-Ruijten, for the motion for a resolution on EU-Turkey relations. The Presidency acknowledges and welcomes Parliament’s active engagement with the enlargement process as a constructive contribution to the general debate on enlargement and Turkey’s accession process in particular. There is no doubt that every debate offers a useful opportunity for creating awareness of Turkey’s accession process, engaging the citizens of Member States and Turkey in this process and supporting the Turkish Government in its accession path. I can assure you that we pay particular attention to the views of the European Parliament. In a few days the Commission will present its regular progress report on Turkey’s accession process. The Council will examine and assess this report very carefully. In the meantime, I would like to briefly mention a few points in this phase of Turkey’s accession negotiations. We are of the opinion that the recent elections in Turkey demonstrated the wish of the Turkish people for democracy, stability – both political and economic – and progress. We also welcome how the elections were conducted, the high voter turnout and the improved representativeness of the new Turkish Parliament. The Presidency shares the views and concerns of this House regarding Turkey’s reform process. We believe that the new Government enjoys increased legitimacy and a clear mandate that should enable decisive steps to be made in advancing and broadening the reform process in Turkey. It is imperative that the new Government gives fresh impetus to the reforms – and their implementation – by focusing on key areas. In this regard, the implementation of the Accession Partnership – in particular as regards its short-term priorities – is of great importance. I would remind you that the Accession Partnership must be reviewed in the coming months. In this context, I would also like to stress the need for broad consultation and national consensus on Turkey’s new Constitution. We share your views on the importance of reforms in the crucial area of fundamental freedoms and human rights. Further tangible progress is essential, in particular as regards freedom of expression, religious freedom, cultural rights and women’s rights, and also further strengthening of the fight against torture and ill-treatment. Most of these issues are covered in the Accession Partnership as short-term priorities that Turkey needs to meet. In particular, in the area of freedom of expression, we regret the lack of progress despite wide public debate on the issue and we are concerned about the increasing nationalism leading to self-censorship. We continue to firmly believe that Article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code, as well as other vaguely formulated articles, need to be abolished or substantially amended in order to guarantee freedom of expression. Progress in this area is of paramount importance for the general advancement of the accession negotiations. 2 EN Debates of the European Parliament 24-10-2007 As for religious freedom, tangible progress is urgently needed, in particular following the tragic incidents earlier this year. The adoption of legislation which will comprehensively address all problems faced by non-Muslim communities – such as legal status, property registration and training of the clergy – in order to guarantee religious pluralism in line with European standards is long awaited. The Law on Foundations could be a positive first step in this regard and will be carefully assessed once adopted and implemented. The recent Supreme Court ruling on the Ecumenical Patriarchate is also an issue of concern. We share your views on civil-military relations. Recent developments – in particular before and during the election campaign – demonstrate the need for further steps in this area so that the Armed Forces cannot exercise political influence. Civilian democratic control over the military in line with practice in EU Member States is still to be ensured. Regarding the south-east, we strongly condemned the recent terrorist attack in the province of Sirnak. We have also condemned other acts of terror perpetrated in Turkey and will continue to do so. Terrorist activities can never be justified. We recall our solidarity with the people of Turkey in this regard. On the other hand, terrorism should not make us forget about the urgent need to promptly develop and implement a comprehensive strategy that will guarantee the economic, social and cultural development of the south-east. This is a complex area that we are closely monitoring as part of the ongoing reform process. Apart from compliance with the Copenhagen political criteria, Turkey’s progress in preparing for accession will be measured against the requirements clearly set out in the Negotiating Framework. In this respect, as agreed by the Council in December last year, progress made on the issues covered by the Declaration of 21 September 2005, in particular full and non-discriminatory implementation of the Additional Protocol to the Ankara Agreement, will be monitored and reviewed. Regrettably, no progress has yet been made on this issue. I would also underline that recognition by all Member States is a necessary component of the accession process and that it is therefore vital that the European Union normalises relations between Turkey and all the Member States as soon as possible. The work required to ensure compliance with the Union’s standards and membership obligations is difficult and demands continuous efforts and determination. We attach particular importance to Turkey’s accession process and I can assure you that the Portuguese Presidency will also do its utmost in order to allow these negotiations to advance. Commitments made need to be met. Sustaining the reform process and meeting existing obligations will move Turkey’s accession process forward to the benefit, first and foremost, of all Turkish citizens. Nevertheless, progress in the accession process depends fundamentally and primarily on Turkey’s performance. Olli Rehn, Member of the Commission. − Mr President, let me first congratulate Ms Oomen-Ruijten on her solid report and for proposing a draft that is both rigorous and fair. Turkey went through an extremely difficult period earlier this year with a severe constitutional crisis and high political tensions. Despite such challenges, it conducted parliamentary and presidential elections in full respect of democratic principles and with a very high level of citizen participation. The result was that democracy had the last word. The new Turkish Parliament is largely representative of Turkish political diversity and, as Mr Lobo Antunes said, the new Government can now work with the support of a stable majority and a broad popular mandate. Thus the way ahead has been cleared in this regard. Now the time has come to regenerate a new momentum in the reform process. Therefore the Commission shares the basic approach followed by the draft resolution, which is to identify challenges and to encourage Turkey to meet these policy challenges. This means to support the commitment of the new Turkish Government to strengthen the reform efforts and to encourage it to translate this commitment rapidly into action. This concerns both the reform process and the Ankara Protocol. The Commission welcomes the fact that the Government has put the constitutional reforms at the top of its agenda, with a view to reinforcing democracy and expanding fundamental freedoms. However, this should not result in any postponement of reforms that are urgently needed today, such as the revision of the infamous Article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code and other articles related to freedom of expression or the adoption of the Law on Foundations to ensure freedom of religion. 24-10-2007 EN Debates of the European Parliament 3 Further efforts are also needed to ensure democratic supremacy of civil-military relations, to protect the rights of women, children and trade unions, to improve the judiciary system and to enhance the fight against corruption. Let me say some words on the recent events and the current situation, on which we coordinate very closely with the Presidency and Mr Solana and we have taken due note of Parliament’s views. Turkey faces continual cross-border terrorist attacks from the PKK, which is on the EU list of terrorist organisations. The European Union condemns all terrorist attacks and understands Turkey’s need to protect its citizens. The EU and Turkey are both committed to the independence, sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of Iraq. We continue to urge Turkey and Iraq to tackle this problem through cooperation between the relevant authorities and by respecting international law. The recent bilateral agreement between Turkey and Iraq on the fight against terrorism provides a basis for this. The Turkish authorities are understandably trying to engage the United States as well as the Iraqi and Iraqi-Kurdish authorities in their efforts, with some signs of progress recently. The resolution passed in Parliament last week should be seen as part of that overall political strategy. The European perspective for Turkey has proved to be a key incentive for reforms in the country. In line with our core principle of conditionality in enlargement policy, the implementation of the reforms on the ground determines progress in the accession negotiations. However, if we are to use this principle effectively to have serious political leverage to encourage reforms, the European Union itself must stick to its own commitments.

    Editorial Amerikanische Revolution Nichts war gewöhnlich an diesem Wahlkampf. Und wenig wird gewöhnlich sein an der Präsidentschaft Donald J. Trumps. Ein Außenseiter, belächelt und zu Beginn wenig ernst genommen, gewinnt nicht trotz, sondern wegen des Bruchs aller bisheriger Regeln. Was für andere Kandidaten hoch toxisch gewesen wäre – offene Frauenfeindlichkeit, Kuscheln mit der rassistischen Alt-Right-Bewegung, trotziges Lügen – erwies sich für „The Donald“ als Er- folgsrezept. Er gewinnt die Stimmen der Globalisierungsverlierer, weil er ih- nen verspricht, die Jobs „aus Mexiko und China zurückzuholen“. Aber in sein Kabinett holt er Milliardäre, Steuern will er für die Reichen senken, und der Protektionismus, mit dem er Amerika „wieder groß“ machen will, dürfte in erster Linie seinen Wählern Jobs kosten. Zum ersten Mal seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg stellt der neu gewählte Präsi- dent das transatlantische Bündnis und die von den USA selbst so erfolgreich errichtete internationale Architektur infrage. Europa, so sehr daran gewöhnt, die amerikanische Schutzmacht im Rücken zu wissen, wird wohl alles daran setzen müssen, den neuen Präsidenten vom Wert des Bündnisses zu überzeu- gen. Ob dies gelingt, sei dahingestellt. Denn diese Wahl war eine amerikani- sche Revolution – eine Revolution, die die liberale Ordnung des Westens viel- leicht nicht sofort zerstören, aber durch gezielte Vernachlässigung erodieren lassen könnte. Und damit eine Ordnung, die maßgeblich die Sicherheit und den Wohlstand (nicht nur) der westlichen Welt hervorgebracht hat. Nichts war gewöhnlich an dieser Wahl. Und dazu gehört auch die von sämt- lichen US-Geheimdiensten bestätigte Tatsache einer massiven Beeinflussung durch russische Hacker. Der hybride Krieg ist längst in den westlichen Gesell- schaften angekommen. Gezielte, hauptsächlich über soziale Medien gestreute Desinformation, die allein der Verwirrung und Verunsicherung dient, wird in diesem Jahr der Wahlkämpfe auch in Frankreich, den Niederlanden und Deutschland eine Rolle spielen.

They long to know what the decision-makers are thinking, so they can plan ahead. They yearn to be in the loop, to have the drop on things. It is the genius of the lobbyists and the consultants to understand this need, and to satisfy it in the most imaginative way. Business forums are vehicles for forging links and maintain a dialogue with business, industrial and trade organisations. They allow the discussions of general and pre-legislative issues in a different context from lobbying contacts about specific matters. They provide an opportunity to get Members of the European Parliament and other decision-makers from the European institutions together with various business sectors.

  • Bedingt Abwehrbereit
    Editorial Bedingt abwehrbereit Es ist ja nicht so, als würde Militärstrategisches in Deutschland gar nicht diskutiert. Wenn der Bundeswehr die einsatzfähigen U-Boote, Kampfjets und Panzer – von der Unterwäsche gar nicht zu reden – knapp werden, wird auf- geregt, ja oft empört berichtet. Auch wenn es um sicherheitspolitische Pseu- dothemen geht wie die Rückkehr der Wehrpflicht oder eine deutsche Atom- bombe, werden leidenschaftlich Für und Wider debattiert. Worüber aber Schweigen herrscht, ist ganz Grundsätzliches: was nämlich Deutschland heute und in Zukunft militärisch leisten können soll – und mit welchem Budget die Bundeswehr dazu ausgestattet wird. „Bis heute herrscht kein auch nur annähernd gemeinsames Verständnis da- rüber, was ‚neue Verantwortung‘ konkret für die deutschen sicherheitspoliti- schen Ambitionen bedeuten soll“, schreibt Jana Puglierin, Leiterin des Alfred von Oppenheim-Zentrums der DGAP, in dieser Ausgabe, „und zwar weder unter den Politikern und ihren Parteien noch zwischen den Ministerien, und schon gar nicht in der breiteren Öffentlichkeit.“ Das hat ernste Folgen. Denn das Nicht-Befassen-Wollen führt zu einer gravierenden Unterfinanzierung der deutschen Streitkräfte. „Der Weg zur Wie- derherstellung der vollen Einsatzbereitschaft der Bundeswehr ist mittlerwei- le recht gut abgesteckt“, schreibt Bastian Giegerich vom International Insti- tute for Strategic Studies (IISS). „Er ist lang und teuer. Und er ist notwendig.“ Hinzu kommt: Deutschlands Verbündeten in der NATO und der EU fällt schon länger auf, dass bei der Bundeswehr Anspruch und – finanzielle – Wirk- lichkeit weit auseinanderklaffen. Es droht ein Ansehens- und Vertrauensver- lust, der für die Sicherheit Deutschlands und Europas fatale Konsequenzen hät- te. Ausländische Beobachter wie der Brite Julian Lindley-French haben recht, wenn sie den Deutschen raten: „Wer den Frieden will, sollte über den Krieg zumindest nachdenken.“ Kurzum: Eine strategische Debatte darüber, wie Deutschlands Armee den neuen sicherheitspolitischen Realitäten begegnen soll, ist überfällig.

In any event, the second reading of the European budget is on tomorrow’s agenda. In all probability, the vote will not take much time. The fact that few things remain to be put to the vote and even fewer are in dispute is thanks to the constructive cooperation among all the Members involved – both in the specialist committees and in the Committee on Budgets – for which I should like to express my sincere thanks. I am all the more pleased since I know that this cannot be taken for granted. This also goes for the groundwork done by the entire team on the Committee on Budgets, the work of all the group staff and the support of the personal assistants, so thank you! I should also like to extend my thanks to the Commission for its willingness to cooperate.

    Son Excellence Nicolas Sarkozy Le Président de la République c/o Claude Guéant, Chef de Cabinet Palais de l'Elysée 55, rue du faubourg Saint-Honoré 75008 Paris France 2nd October 2008 Dear President Sarkozy, On behalf of our members, we respectfully urge you and EU leaders to carefully consider whether increasing flexibility in the fair value accounting standard will do anything to increase investor confidence in the European banking system. CFA Institute believes that any weakening of accounting rules will not improve market stability and will further undermine investor confidence. Accounting standards are developed to provide investors and other users of financial statements with a faithful representation of economic reality. Altering fair value accounting policies will reduce transparency, undermine globally accepted standards, increase investor risk and hence raise the cost of capital. As a global body representing 97,000 investment professionals – with approaching 12,000 practicing members across the European Union – CFA Institute believes that fair value accounting, coupled with accompanying disclosure, aids transparency and allows investment professionals to assess the financial health of a company. It can also discourage company management from taking imprudent risks. This financial crisis is about the mis-pricing of risk and ill-considered risk management. We do fully acknowledge that fair value should be based on more factors than an isolated fire sale price. However, masking financial performance through the suspension of fair-value accounting will not address these fundamental points and will continue to impact on investor confidence. Complaints about fair value arise largely in the context of their impact on capital adequacy.
