I wish to make some comments about the process of EU integration. In the majority of the new Member States, the only social stratum benefiting from EU accession is the national, economic and political elite. As can be seen in the report, the gap between rich and poor has become wider. For example, in my country, Latvia, a recent opinion poll showed that 84% of the population thought that their standard of living was much better ten years ago. The national, economic and political elite is mostly responsible for the current social disintegration in their countries. However, because they have ignored the unfavourable changes in the new EU Member States, the EU institutions must bear part of the blame. The social instability in the new Member States is endangering political stability and economic growth not only in those states, but also in the EU as a whole. This is the result of a number of mistakes made by EU institutions during the enlargement process. One such mistake was to ignore the fact that in two Baltic States, Latvia and Estonia, a significant part of the population is stateless. These so-called ‘aliens’ belong to national minorities, and the fact that they are deprived of political rights promotes social exclusion and means that persons belonging to minorities cannot compete on equal terms in the labour market Unfortunately, yesterday, during the vote on the amendments to the report by Mr Moraes on the protection of minorities and anti-discrimination policies, the recommendations that these people should be given the right to participate in local elections and granted freedom of movement within the Community were removed as a result of the amendments tabled by some political groups.

Őry, med betænkningen. Jeg vil gerne knytte nogle kommentarer til EU's integrationsproces. I størstedelen af de nye medlemsstater er det eneste sociale lag, der nyder godt af EU-tiltrædelsen, den nationale, økonomiske og politiske elite. Som det fremgår af betænkningen, er kløften mellem rig og fattig blevet større. F.eks. i mit land, Letland, viste en meningsmåling for nyligt, at 84 % af befolkningen mente, at deres levestandard var meget bedre for 10 år siden. Den nationale, økonomiske og politiske elite er hovedsagelig ansvarlig for den nuværende sociale disintegration i deres lande. Fordi de har set bort fra de ugunstige ændringer i de nye EU-lande, må EU-institutionerne bære deres del af skylden. Den sociale ustabilitet i de nye medlemsstater truer ikke alene den politiske stabilitet og økonomiske vækst i disse medlemsstater, men også i hele EU. Det er resultatet af en række fejltagelser begået af EU-institutionerne under udvidelsesprocessen. En sådan fejltagelse var at se bort fra, at en betydelig andel af befolkningen er statsløs i to baltiske stater, Letland og Estland. Disse såkaldte udlændinge tilhører nationale mindretal, og det, at de er frataget politiske rettigheder, øger den sociale udelukkelse og betyder, at personer, der tilhører mindretallene, ikke kan konkurrere på lige vilkår på arbejdsmarkedet. I går under afstemningen om ændringsforslagene til hr. Moraes' betænkning om beskyttelse af mindretal og anti-diskriminationspolitikker blev henstillingerne til, at disse folk skulle have ret til at deltage i lokale valg og tildeles bevægelsesfrihed inden for Fællesskabet desværre fjernet som følge af de ændringsforslag, der var stillet af visse politiske grupper. Det tilsidesætter fuldstændig EU's egne henstillinger i 2004 som en del af udvidelsesprocessen."@da² ". Herr Präsident, meine Fraktion unterstützt den Bericht über die soziale Eingliederung in den neuen Mitgliedstaaten, und ich beglückwünsche den Berichterstatter, Herrn Őry, zu seinem Bericht. Ich möchte einige Bemerkungen über den Integrationsprozess der EU machen. Die einzige soziale Schicht in den neuen Mitgliedstaaten, die vom Beitritt zur EU profitiert, ist die nationale, wirtschaftliche und politische Elite. Wie aus dem Bericht ersichtlich wird, ist die Kluft zwischen Reich und Arm größer geworden. Zum Beispiel ergab eine kürzlich durchgeführte Meinungsumfrage in meinem Land, in Lettland, dass 84 % der Bevölkerung der Ansicht sind, ihr Lebensstandard sei vor zehn Jahren höher gewesen. Es ist hauptsächlich die nationale, wirtschaftliche und politische Elite, die für den gegenwärtigen sozialen Zerfall in ihren Ländern verantwortlich ist. Da sie jedoch die ungünstigen Veränderungen in den neuen EU-Mitgliedstaaten ignoriert haben, müssen die EU-Institutionen einen Teil der Schuld auf sich nehmen. Die soziale Instabilität in den neuen Mitgliedstaaten gefährdet die politische Stabilität und das Wirtschaftswachstum nicht nur in diesen Staaten, sondern in der EU insgesamt. Das ist das Ergebnis einer Reihe von Fehlern der EU-Institutionen während des Erweiterungsprozesses. Ein solcher Fehler war es zu ignorieren, dass in zwei baltischen Staaten, in Lettland und Estland, ein erheblicher Teil der Bevölkerung staatenlos ist. Diese so genannten Fremden gehören nationalen Minderheiten an, und die Tatsache, dass sie politischer Rechte beraubt sind, fördert ihre soziale Ausgrenzung und bedeutet, dass sich Personen, die Minderheiten angehören, nicht gleichberechtigt dem Wettbewerb auf dem Arbeitsmarkt stellen können. Leider wurden bei der gestrigen Abstimmung über die Änderungsanträge zum Bericht von Herrn Moraes über den Schutz von Minderheiten und Antidiskriminierungsmaßnahmen die Empfehlungen, dass diesen Menschen das Recht auf Teilnahme an Kommunalwahlen sowie auf Freizügigkeit innerhalb der Gemeinschaft gewährt werden sollte, als Folge von Änderungsanträgen einiger politischer Fraktionen gestrichen. Damit werden die Empfehlungen, die die EU selbst im Jahr 2004 im Rahmen des Erweiterungsprozesses machte, völlig ignoriert."@de⁹ ". Κύριε Πρόεδρε, η Ομάδα μου υποστηρίζει την έκθεση για την κοινωνική ένταξη στα νέα κράτη μέλη και συγχαίρω τον εισηγητή, κ. Őry, για την έκθεσή του. Θα ήθελα να κάνω ορισμένα σχόλια για τη διαδικασία ολοκλήρωσης της ΕΕ. Στην πλειονότητα των νέων κρατών μελών, το μόνο κοινωνικό στρώμα που επωφελείται από την προσχώρηση στην ΕΕ είναι η εθνική, οικονομική και πολιτική ελίτ. Όπως μπορεί να δει κανείς στην έκθεση, το χάσμα μεταξύ των πλουσίων και των φτωχών έχει μεγαλώσει. Για παράδειγμα στη χώρα μου, τη Λετονία, μία πρόσφατη σφυγμομέτρηση της κοινής γνώμης έδειξε ότι 84% των ανθρώπων θεωρούσαν ότι το επίπεδο διαβίωσής τους ήταν πολύ καλύτερο δέκα χρόνια πρωτύτερα. Η εθνική, οικονομική και πολιτική ελίτ είναι η κυρίως υπεύθυνη για την τωρινή κοινωνική αποσύνθεση στις χώρες τους. Ωστόσο, η ευθύνη βαρύνει εν μέρει και τα θεσμικά όργανα της ΕΕ, καθώς αγνόησαν τις δυσμενείς αλλαγές στα νέα κράτη μέλη. Η κοινωνική αστάθεια στα νέα κράτη μέλη θέτει σε κίνδυνο την πολιτική σταθερότητα και την οικονομική ανάπτυξη όχι μόνο σε αυτά τα κράτη, αλλά και στην ΕΕ ως σύνολο. Αυτό είναι το αποτέλεσμα ενός αριθμού λαθών τα οποία διέπραξαν τα θεσμικά όργανα της ΕΕ κατά τη διαδικασία της διεύρυνσης. Ένα τέτοιο λάθος ήταν ότι αγνόησαν το γεγονός ότι σε δύο βαλτικά κράτη, στη Λετονία και στην Εσθονία, σημαντικό μέρος του πληθυσμού είναι απάτριδες. Αυτοί οι καλούμενοι «αλλοδαποί» ανήκουν σε εθνικές μειονότητες, το δε γεγονός ότι στερούνται πολιτικών δικαιωμάτων προωθεί τον κοινωνικό αποκλεισμό και σημαίνει ότι οι άνθρωποι που ανήκουν σε μειονότητες δεν μπορούν να ανταγωνισθούν επί ίσοις όροις στην αγορά εργασίας. Δυστυχώς, χθες, κατά την ψηφοφορία επί των τροπολογιών στην έκθεση του κ. Moraes για την προστασία των μειονοτήτων και τις πολιτικές κατά των διακρίσεων, οι εισηγήσεις να δοθεί σε αυτούς τους ανθρώπους το δικαίωμα να συμμετέχουν στις δημοτικές εκλογές και να τους χορηγηθεί ελευθερία κινήσεων εντός της Κοινότητας, αποσύρθηκαν, ως αποτέλεσμα των τροπολογιών που κατατέθηκαν από κάποιες πολιτικές ομάδες. Τούτο αποτελεί ολοσχερή περιφρόνηση των συστάσεων της ίδιας της ΕΕ, που έγιναν το 2004 στο πλαίσιο της διαδικασίας της διεύρυνσης."@el¹⁰ ". Señor Presidente, mi Grupo apoya el informe sobre inclusión social en los nuevos Estados miembros y felicito al ponente, el señor Őry, por su informe. Quiero hacer algunos comentarios sobre el proceso de integración en la UE. En la mayoría de los nuevos Estados miembros, el único estrato social que se beneficia de la adhesión a la UE es la elite económica y política nacional. Como puede apreciarse en el informe, el abismo entre ricos y pobres se ha ampliado. Por ejemplo, en mi país, Letonia, un reciente sondeo de opinión demuestra que el 84 % de la población consideraba que su nivel de vida era mucho mejor hace diez años. La elite económica y política nacional es en gran parte responsable de la actual desintegración social en sus países. Sin embargo, dado que han ignorado los cambios desfavorables en los nuevos Estados miembros de la UE, las instituciones de la UE han de cargar con parte de la culpa. La inestabilidad social en los nuevos Estados miembros está poniendo en peligro la estabilidad política y el crecimiento económico no solo en estos Estados, sino también en toda la UE. Ello es el resultado de diversos errores cometidos por las instituciones de la UE durante el proceso de ampliación. Uno de dichos errores fue ignorar el hecho de que en dos Estados Bálticos, Letonia y Estonia, una parte significativa de la población es apátrida. Estos llamados «extranjeros» pertenecen a minorías nacionales y el hecho de que estén privados de sus derechos políticos promueve la exclusión social e implica que personas que pertenecen a minorías no pueden competir en pie de igualdad en el mercado laboral. Por desgracia, ayer, durante la votación de las enmiendas al informe del señor Moraes sobre la protección de las minorías y las medidas contra la discriminación, se suprimieron las recomendaciones que deberían otorgar a estas personas el derecho a participar en las elecciones locales y a la libre circulación dentro de la Comunidad, a resultas de las enmiendas presentadas por algunos Grupos políticos. Ello pasa totalmente por alto las recomendaciones hechas por la UE en 2004 en el marco del proceso de ampliación."@es²⁰ "Mr President, my Group supports the report on social inclusion in the new Member States and I congratulate the rapporteur, Mr Őry, on his report.

Haluan muutamin sanoin kommentoida EU:n laajentumisprosessia. Useimmissa uusissa jäsenvaltioissa ainoa EU:n jäsenyydestä hyötyvä yhteiskuntaluokka on kansallinen, taloudellinen ja poliittinen eliitti. Kuten mietinnöstä käy ilmi, rikkaiden ja köyhien välinen kuilu on laajentunut. Esimerkiksi kotimaassani Latviassa vastikään toteutetusta mielipidetutkimuksesta kävi ilmi, että 84 prosenttia väestöstä katsoi elintasonsa olleen huomattavasti korkeampi kymmenen vuotta sitten. Kansallinen, taloudellinen ja poliittinen eliitti on pääasiassa vastuussa tämänhetkisestä kansan sosiaalisesta hajaantumisesta. EU:n toimielimet ovat tähän kuitenkin osasyyllisiä, sillä ne ovat jättäneet huomiotta epäsuotuisat muutokset uusissa EU:n jäsenvaltioissa. Uusien jäsenvaltioiden sosiaalinen epävakaus vaarantaa poliittisen vakauden ja talouskasvun kyseisten valtioiden lisäksi koko EU:ssa. Tämä on tulosta useista EU:n toimielinten tekemistä virheistä laajentumisprosessin aikana. Yksi niistä oli se, että jätettiin huomioimatta, että kahdessa Baltian maassa, Latviassa ja Virossa, merkittävällä osalla väestöstä ei ole kansalaisuutta. Nämä niin sanotut ulkomaalaiset kuuluvat kansallisiin vähemmistöihin, ja se, että heiltä kielletään poliittiset oikeudet, edistää sosiaalista syrjäytymistä, eivätkä vähemmistöjen edustajat pysty näin ollen kilpailemaan tasavertaisin edellytyksin työmarkkinoilla. Eilen, kun parlamentissa äänestettiin vähemmistöjen suojelua ja syrjinnän vastaisia politiikkoja koskevaan jäsen Moraesin mietintöön esitetyistä tarkistuksista, äänestyksessä valitettavasti hylättiin suositukset siitä, että näille ihmisille olisi annettava äänioikeus paikallisvaaleissa ja oikeus vapaaseen liikkuvuuteen yhteisössä, kun eräiden poliittisten ryhmien tarkistukset hyväksyttiin. Tässä jätetään täysin huomioimatta EU:n omat suositukset, jotka tehtiin vuonna 2004 laajentumisprosessin yhteydessä."@fi⁷ ". Monsieur le Président, mon groupe soutient le rapport sur l’inclusion sociale dans les nouveaux États membres, et je salue le rapporteur, M. Őry, pour celui-ci. Je voudrais faire quelques commentaires sur le processus d’intégration européenne. Dans la majorité des nouveaux États membres, la seule classe sociale qui bénéficie de l’adhésion à l’Union est l’élite économique et politique nationale. Comme l’indique le rapport, le fossé entre riches et pauvres s’est élargi. Ainsi, dans mon pays, la Lettonie, un récent sondage d’opinion a indiqué que 84% de la population estimait que ses conditions de vie étaient bien plus favorables il y a dix ans. L’élite économique et politique nationale est la principale responsable de la désintégration sociale actuelle de son pays. Cependant, puisqu’elles ont ignoré les changements défavorables survenus dans les nouveaux États membres, les institutions européennes portent également une part de cette responsabilité. L’instabilité sociale dans les nouveaux États membres menace la stabilité politique et la croissance économique de ces États membres, mais aussi de l’Union dans son ensemble. C’est là le résultat d’une série d’erreurs de la part des institutions européennes durant le processus d’élargissement. L’une d’elles était d’ignorer le fait que dans deux pays baltes, la Lettonie et l’Estonie, une partie significative de la population est apatride. Ceux qu’on appelle les «étrangers» appartiennent aux minorités nationales, et le fait qu’ils soient privés de droits politiques favorise l’exclusion sociale et implique que les personnes appartenant aux minorités ne bénéficient pas des mêmes conditions que les autres sur le marché du travail. Hier, malheureusement, durant le vote sur les amendements au rapport de M. Moraes sur la protection des minorités et les politiques de lutte contre les discriminations dans l’Europe élargie, les recommandations appelant à ce que ces personnes se voient accorder le droit de participer aux élections locales et la liberté de circulation au sein de la Communauté ont été retirées à la suite d’amendements déposés par certains groupes politiques. Ceci fait totalement l’impasse sur les recommandations formulées par l’UE elle-même en 2004 au cours du processus d’élargissement."@fr⁸ "Mr President, my Group supports the report on social inclusion in the new Member States and I congratulate the rapporteur, Mr Őry, on his report.

Vorrei fare alcune osservazioni sul processo di integrazione dell’Unione europea. Nella maggioranza dei nuovi Stati membri, l’unico strato sociale che abbia tratto vantaggio dall’adesione all’UE è l’ nazionale, politica ed economica; come la relazione stessa segnala, il divario che separa i ricchi dai poveri è divenuto più profondo. Nel mio paese – la Lettonia – da un recente sondaggio d’opinione è emerso che l’84 per cento della popolazione ritiene di aver subito, negli ultimi 10 anni, un sensibile peggioramento del tenore di vita. Le nazionali, economiche e politiche, sono le principali responsabili della disgregazione sociale che attualmente colpisce i rispettivi paesi; ma una parte della colpa ricade anche sulle Istituzioni dell’Unione europea, che hanno ignorato i cambiamenti negativi verificatisi nei nuovi Stati membri. L’instabilità sociale dei nuovi Stati membri mette a repentaglio la stabilità politica e la crescita economica non solo in quegli stessi Stati, ma nell’intera Unione, a causa di alcuni errori commessi dalle Istituzioni europee nel corso del processo di allargamento. Tra questi errori c’è stato quello di ignorare il fatto che in due Stati baltici – Lettonia ed Estonia – una rilevante percentuale della popolazione è costituita da apolidi. Questi cosiddetti “stranieri” appartengono alle minoranze nazionali e privarli dei diritti politici significa inasprire l’esclusione sociale e impedire agli esponenti delle minoranze di competere nel mercato del lavoro su un piede di parità. Ieri, purtroppo, nel corso delle votazioni sugli emendamenti alla relazione dell’onorevole Moraes sulla protezione delle minoranze e le politiche contro la discriminazione, la raccomandazione di concedere a queste persone il diritto di partecipare alle elezioni amministrative, nonché la libertà di circolazione all’interno della Comunità, è stata eliminata in seguito agli emendamenti presentati da alcuni gruppi politici.

Ik wil graag enkele opmerkingen maken over het EU-integratieproces. In de meeste nieuwe lidstaten is de nationale, economische en politieke elite de enige sociale laag die profiteert van de toetreding tot de EU. Zoals blijkt uit dit verslag is de kloof tussen arm en rijk groter geworden. In mijn land, Letland, blijkt bijvoorbeeld uit een recente opiniepeiling dat 84 procent van de bevolking denkt dat de eigen levensstandaard tien jaar geleden veel beter was. De nationale, economische en politieke elite is vooral verantwoordelijk voor de huidige sociale desintegratie in deze landen. Ook de EU-instellingen treft hier blaam, aangezien zij ongunstige ontwikkelingen in de nieuwe EU-lidstaten over het hoofd hebben gezien. De sociale instabiliteit in de nieuwe lidstaten brengt de politieke stabiliteit en de economische groei in gevaar, niet alleen in de nieuwe lidstaten zelf, maar ook in de EU als geheel. Dat is het gevolg van een reeks fouten die door de EU-instellingen zijn gemaakt tijdens het uitbreidingsproces. Een van die fouten was de ontkenning van het feit dat een belangrijk deel van de bevolking van de twee Baltische staten. Letland en Estland, staatloos is. Deze zogenaamde ‘vreemdelingen’ behoren tot nationale minderheden, en het feit dat zij geen politieke rechten hebben, leidt tot sociale uitsluiting en betekent dat mensen die tot minderheden behoren geen gelijke kansen op de arbeidsmarkt hebben. In het verslag van de heer Moraes over de bescherming van minderheden en maatregelen ter bestrijding van discriminatie waren aanbevelingen opgenomen waarin erop werd aangedrongen dat deze mensen het recht krijgen deel te nemen aan lokale verkiezingen en zich vrij binnen de Gemeenschap te verplaatsen. Die aanbevelingen zijn gisteren, tijdens de stemming over de amendementen op dat verslag, uit de tekst geschrapt als gevolg van amendementen die door sommige fracties zijn ingediend. Hiermee wordt volledig voorbijgegaan aan de aanbevelingen die de EU in 2004 zelf heeft uitgebracht als onderdeel van het uitbreidingsproces."@nl³ "Mr President, my Group supports the report on social inclusion in the new Member States and I congratulate the rapporteur, Mr Őry, on his report.

These so-called ‘aliens’ belong to national minorities, and the fact that they are deprived of political rights promotes social exclusion and means that persons belonging to minorities cannot compete on equal terms in the labour market Unfortunately, yesterday, during the vote on the amendments to the report by Mr Moraes on the protection of minorities and anti-discrimination policies, the recommendations that these people should be given the right to participate in local elections and granted freedom of movement within the Community were removed as a result of the amendments tabled by some political groups. This totally ignores the EU's own recommendations made in 2004 as part of the enlargement process."@pl¹⁶ "Senhor Presidente, o meu grupo apoia o relatório sobre inclusão social nos novos Estados-Membros e eu felicito o relator, senhor deputado Őry, pelo seu trabalho. Quero fazer alguns comentários acerca do processo de integração europeia. Na maioria dos novos Estados-Membros, o único estrato social que tem beneficiado com a adesão à UE é a elite nacional, económica e política. Como se pode ver no relatório, o fosso entre ricos e pobres aumentou. No meu país, a Letónia, por exemplo, uma sondagem de opinião recente mostrava que 84% da população considerava ter um padrão de vida muito pior do que há dez anos. As elites nacionais, económicas e políticas são as grandes responsáveis pela desintegração a que se está assistir nos respectivos países. No entanto, por terem ignorado as transformações negativas nos novos Estados-Membros, as Instituições comunitárias têm de assumir parte da culpa. A instabilidade social que se regista nos novos Estados-Membros ameaça a estabilidade política e o crescimento económico não apenas desses estados, como também da UE no seu todo. Isto é resultado de uma série de erros cometidos pelas Instituições comunitárias ao longo do processo de alargamento. Um desses erros foi ignorar o facto de, em dois estados bálticos, a Letónia e a Estónia, uma parcela significativa da população ser apátrida. Esses "estrangeiros" pertencem a minorias nacionais, e a circunstância de se encontrarem privados de direitos políticos promove a exclusão social e tem como consequência que os membros das minorias se vejam impossibilitados de concorrer em condições de igualdade no mercado de trabalho. Desgraçadamente, ontem, na votação das alterações ao relatório do senhor deputado Moraes sobre a protecção das minorias e as políticas contra as discriminações, as recomendações no sentido de serem concedidos a essas pessoas o direito de participar nas eleições locais e liberdade de circulação no interior da Comunidade foram retiradas do texto por via das alterações apresentadas por alguns grupos políticos. Isto contraria frontalmente as recomendações feitas pela própria UE em 2004 no quadro do processo de alargamento."@pt¹⁷ "Mr President, my Group supports the report on social inclusion in the new Member States and I congratulate the rapporteur, Mr Őry, on his report. I wish to make some comments about the process of EU integration. In the majority of the new Member States, the only social stratum benefiting from EU accession is the national, economic and political elite. As can be seen in the report, the gap between rich and poor has become wider. For example, in my country, Latvia, a recent opinion poll showed that 84% of the population thought that their standard of living was much better ten years ago. The national, economic and political elite is mostly responsible for the current social disintegration in their countries. However, because they have ignored the unfavourable changes in the new EU Member States, the EU institutions must bear part of the blame. The social instability in the new Member States is endangering political stability and economic growth not only in those states, but also in the EU as a whole.

Min grupp stöder betänkandet om social integration i de nya medlemsstaterna, och jag gratulerar föredraganden Csaba Őry till hans betänkande. Jag vill göra några kommentarer om EU-integrationen. I de flesta av de nya medlemsstaterna är det enda sociala skikt som gagnas av EU-anslutningen den nationella ekonomiska och politiska eliten. Som vi kan se i betänkandet har klyftan mellan rika och fattiga blivit större. I mitt land, Lettland, visade till exempel en opinionsundersökning nyligen att 84 procent av befolkningen ansåg att deras levnadsstandard var mycket högre för tio år sedan. Det är den nationella ekonomiska och politiska eliten som bär det största ansvaret för den sociala upplösningen i deras länder. Eftersom EU-institutionerna har nonchalerat de ogynnsamma förändringarna i de nya medlemsstaterna måste de emellertid nu ta på sig en del av skulden. Den sociala instabiliteten i de nya medlemsstaterna äventyrar den politiska stabiliteten och den ekonomiska tillväxten inte bara i dessa stater, utan även i EU som helhet. Detta beror på att EU-institutionerna begick ett antal misstag under utvidgningen. Ett sådant misstag var att man bortsåg från att en stor del av befolkningen i två av de baltiska staterna, Lettland och Estland, är statslös. Dessa så kallade ”främlingar” tillhör nationella minoriteter, och det faktum att de inte har några politiska rättigheter leder till social utslagning och innebär att människor som tillhör minoriteter inte kan konkurrera på lika villkor på arbetsmarknaden. Under omröstningen om ändringsförslagen till Claude Moraes betänkande om minoritetsskydd och antidiskrimineringspolitik föll tyvärr rekommendationerna om att dessa människor bör få rätt att delta i lokalval och att röra sig fritt inom gemenskapen bort till följd av de ändringsförslag som vissa politiska grupper lade fram. Detta innebär att EU:s egna rekommendationer från utvidgningsprocessen 2004 helt nonchaleras."@sv²¹
