lpv:spoken text	"Question no 5 by Philip Bushill-Matthews () Is the Council aware that many British citizens who have chosen to retire to other EU Member States cannot currently vote in national referenda on the proposed European Constitution? Under current domestic legislation, if they left the UK more than 15 years ago they no longer have the right to vote there, yet they are not automatically granted the right to vote in their new country of residence either. Whilst it is up to individual Member States to grant such a right, should there not be some coordination between Member States so that the voices of such people can be heard? Surely it has to be fundamentally wrong that any European citizen is denied a vote on such an important issue? Does the Council know how many European citizens are affected in such a way, and can it propose ways for Member States to work together to resolve the problem?"@en⁴

Ifølge gældende lovgivning har de ikke ret til at stemme i Det Forenede Kongerige, hvis de forlod landet for mere end 15 år siden. På den anden side får de heller ikke automatisk stemmeret i deres nye hjemland. Det er ganske vist op til den enkelte medlemsstat at give stemmeret, men burde der ikke være en vis samordning, så sådanne borgere også kan blive hørt? Det må da være principielt forkert, at europæiske borgere nægtes stemmeret i en så vigtig sag. Har Rådet kendskab til, hvor mange europæiske borgere der befinder sig i denne situation, og vil det være rede til at fremsætte forslag til, hvordan medlemsstaterne kan samarbejde om at løse dette problem?"@da² "Anfrage Nr. 5 von Philip Bushill-Matthews () Ist sich der Rat dessen bewusst, dass zahlreiche britische Bürger, die in anderen Mitgliedstaaten der EU ihren Ruhestand verbringen, bei den nationalen Referenden über die geplante Europäische Verfassung nicht abstimmen können? Wenn sie das Vereinigte Königreich vor über 15 Jahren verlassen haben, haben sie dort nach den derzeit geltenden nationalen Rechtsbestimmungen kein Wahlrecht mehr, erhalten jedoch auch in ihrem neuen Wohnsitzland nicht automatisch das Wahlrecht. Es ist zwar Sache der einzelnen Mitgliedstaaten, ein solches Recht zu gewähren, doch sollte nicht eine gewisse Koordinierung zwischen den Mitgliedstaaten stattfinden, damit auch diese Menschen ihre Stimme abgeben können? Es ist zweifellos völlig falsch, dass europäischen Bürgern die Stimmabgabe in so einer wichtigen Frage verwehrt wird. Ist dem Rat bekannt, wie viele EU-Bürger davon betroffen sind, und welche Maßnahmen schlägt er vor, dass die Mitgliedstaaten dieses Problem gemeinsam lösen?"@de⁹ "Ερώτηση αριθ.5 του κ. Philip Bushill-Matthews () Γνωρίζει το Συμβούλιο ότι πολλοί βρετανοί πολίτες που επέλεξαν να κατοικήσουν μετά τη συνταξιοδότησή τους σε άλλο κράτος μέλος της ΕΕ, δεν μπορούν να ψηφίσουν τώρα στα εθνικά δημοψηφίσματα για το Ευρωπαϊκό Σύνταγμα; Σύμφωνα με την ισχύουσα νομοθεσία, εάν έχουν εγκαταλείψει το ΗΒ για περισσότερο από μια δεκαπενταετία, δεν έχουν πλέον το δικαίωμα να ψηφίσουν εκεί, ούτε και έχουν αυτόματα το δικαίωμα να ψηφίσουν στη νέα χώρα διαμονής τους. Μολονότι εναπόκειται στο κάθε κράτος μέλος να χορηγήσει αυτό το δικαίωμα, δεν θα έπρεπε να υπάρχει κάποιος συντονισμός μεταξύ κρατών μελών ούτε ώστε να ακουστεί η φωνή αυτών των ανθρώπων; Σίγουρα είναι καταρχήν λάθος η άρνηση σε ευρωπαίο πολίτη να ψηφίσει για ένα τόσο σημαντικό θέμα. Γνωρίζει το Συμβούλιο πόσοι είναι οι ευρωπαίοι πολίτες που βρίσκονται σε αυτή τη θέση, και μπορεί να προτείνει κάποιους τρόπους συνεργασίας στα κράτη μέλη για την επίλυση του προβλήματος;"@el¹⁰ "Pregunta nº 5 formulada por Philip Bushill-Matthews () ¿Es consciente la Comisión de que muchos ciudadanos británicos, que al jubilarse decidieron irse a vivir a otros Estados miembros de la UE, actualmente no pueden votar en los referendos nacionales sobre la propuesta de Constitución Europea? De conformidad con la legislación británica actual, si salieron del Reino Unido hace más de 15 años ya no tienen derecho a votar allí, aunque tampoco se les otorga automáticamente el derecho a votar en sus nuevos países de residencia. Puesto que la concesión de dicho derecho es competencia exclusiva de cada Estado miembro, ¿no debería haber alguna coordinación entre los Estados miembros para que esta gente se haga escuchar? ¿No es totalmente cierto que no se le debería negar a ningún ciudadano europeo el derecho a votar sobre un asunto tan importante? ¿Sabe el Consejo cuántos ciudadanos se encuentran en dicha situación y podría proponer algunos medios para que los Estados miembros trabajen juntos para solucionar dicho problema?"@es²⁰ "Question no 5 by Philip Bushill-Matthews () Is the Council aware that many British citizens who have chosen to retire to other EU Member States cannot currently vote in national referenda on the proposed European Constitution?

Nykyisin voimassa olevan kansallisen lainsäädännön mukaan, jos heidän lähdöstään Yhdistyneestä kuningaskunnasta on kulunut yli 15 vuotta, heillä ei enää ole äänioikeutta siellä, mutta toisaalta heillä ei ole automaattisesti oikeutta äänestää uudessakaan asuinmaassaan. Vaikka kyseisen oikeuden myöntäminen onkin kunkin yksittäisen jäsenvaltion oma asia, eikö olisi suotavaa koordinoida tätä asiaa jäsenvaltioiden kesken, jotta nämä henkilöt saisivat äänensä kuuluviin? Eikö jonkin ole pakko olla perusteellisesti pielessä, jos Euroopan kansalaiselta kielletään mahdollisuus äänestää näin tärkeästä kysymyksestä? Tietääkö neuvosto, kuinka monta Euroopan kansalaista tämä ongelma koskee ja voiko neuvosto ehdottaa jäsenvaltioille keinoja, joiden avulla ne voisivat yhdessä ratkaista sen?"@fi⁷ "J’appelle la question n° 5 de M. Bushill-Matthews (): Le Conseil sait-il que de nombreux citoyens britanniques ayant choisi de s’établir pour leur retraite dans un autre État membre de l’Union ne sont actuellement pas autorisés à voter lors des référendums nationaux sur le projet de Constitution européenne? Selon le droit interne actuel, si ces personnes ont quitté le Royaume-Uni depuis plus de quinze ans, elles n’ont plus le droit d’y voter, et elles n’obtiennent pas non plus automatiquement le droit de vote dans leur nouveau pays de résidence. Dès lors qu’il est de la compétence des États membres d’accorder ce droit, ne devraient-ils pas coopérer afin que les voix de ces électeurs soient prises en compte? N’est-il pas fondamentalement injuste de priver un citoyen européen du droit de vote sur une question aussi importante?

De huidige nationale wetgeving bepaalt dat indien Britse burgers het VK meer dan 15 jaar geleden hebben verlaten zij niet langer het recht hebben daar te stemmen, maar evenmin hebben zij automatisch het recht te stemmen in hun nieuwe land. Het is de bevoegdheid van de afzonderlijke lidstaten een dergelijk recht toe te kennen, maar zou het niet goed zijn te zorgen voor coördinatie tussen de lidstaten zodat deze burgers hun stem kunnen laten horen? Niemand zal toch ontkennen dat het in beginsel verkeerd is dat Europese burgers de kans wordt ontnomen te stemmen over een zo belangrijk onderwerp?

Det är visserligen upp till de enskilda medlemsstaterna att bevilja rösträtt, men borde det inte finnas en viss samordning mellan medlemsstaterna så att dessa personers röster kan bli hörda?
