konklusionerne fra Det Europæiske
Råds mØde
i
Thessaloniki
er
arbejdet
inden
for
regeringskonferencen
foregået på
politisk
plan. De
hidtidige
RK-møder
har
sammen med en række
bilaterale kontakter
giort
det
muligt for
formandskabet
at
indkredse et
antal
spørgsmål
i
udkastet

forfatningstraktat,
som
delegationerne mener bpr
præciseres
eller

og
i
visse

at
udarbejde
forslag
til
mulige
lgsninger.
JURIDISK-TEKNISKE
SPøRGSIIdL
Sideløbende
med
de
politiske
drøftelser
nedsatte
formandskabet
i
forståelse med samtlige
delegationer
en
gruppe
afjuridiske
eksperter,
som skulle foretage
en
juridisk
gennemgang
af
det udkast
til
traktat om
en
forfatning,
som
konventet havde udarbejdet. Gruppen
af
Juridiske
Eksperter
holdt
møder
i
oktober og november
under forsæde
af regeringskonferencens
jurist.
Resultat
af gruppens
drøftelser
er udsendt
i

a)
Kristen
arv
Formandskabet
har
noteret
sig,
at
dette er et
vigtigt
spørgsmål
for
en
række
delegationer,
men
det
vil
ikke
på nuværende
tidspunkt fremsætte
forslag
til
ændring
af
konventets
tekst.
Der
vil
senere
blive
fremsat
et
forslag
herom
med
henvisning ikke kun
til
Europas kristne arv, men
også
til
den sekulære
karakter
af
EU-medlemsstaternes
institutioner
(verdslighedsprincippet).

INSTITUTIONELLE
SPøRGSMÅL
a)
Definition
af
kvalificeret flertal
Formandskabet
har
noteret sig,
at
et
stort
antal delegationer
støtter konventets
tekstudkast
med hensyn
til
dette spørgsmåI. Formandskabet
er dog
klar
over,
at
nogle
få
delegationer
ikke
kan acceptere
konventets forslag
i
dets
nuværende
affattelse.
I
betragtning
af
disse
forskellige
holdninger og
det overordnede
mål
med fastholdelse
af
den
institutionelle
balance, som
konventet opstillede, foreslår
formandskabet
ikke
ændringer
til
konventets
forslag
vedrØrende
definitionen
af
kvalificeret flertal.
Det
mener
imidlertid,
at det
er nødvendigt fortsat
at
overveje,
hvorledes disse
Ønsker
kan
imødekommes, idet
man
samtidig holder sig
det fælles
overordnede
mål for
þie,
at
beslutningsprocedurerne skal
være
enkle,
effektive
og
gennemsi
gti ge.
b)
Kommissionens
sammensætnine
I
en
udvidet Union
er det
nødvendigt,
at
Kommissionen fungerer
effektivt.
Formandskabet
mener,
at
konventets tekst
udgØr et
godt
grundlag
for
at
kunne
opfylde
dette måI. Formandskabet
er
dog
også
klar
over,
at et
betydeligt
antal delegationer
af
hensyn
til
legitimiteten
vil
foretrække,
at
Kommissionen består
af
en
statsborger
fra
hver
medlemsstat. Kommissionen har selv
givet
udtryk
for
samme
mening
i
sin
meddelelse
til
regeringskonferencen.
Formandskabet foreslår
på
dette stadium,
at
delegationernes
ønsker imødekommes ved
at
præcisere
bestemmelserne
i
konventets tekst om
den
npjagtige
rolle
og
det
nØjagtige
ansvar
for
kommissærer uden stemmeret.
Disse
præciseringer
kan
omfatte følgende:
o
kommissærer
uden
stemmeret deltager
fuldt
ud
i
Kommissionens
arbejde,
herunder
også
i
kollegiets
mØder
.
formanden
for Kommissionen tildeler
kommissærer uden stemmeret
substans-
sager,
der
indebærer et
reelt
ansvar.

Ministerrådet -

På

spørgsmål

oplæg
og forelægger
et
tekstudkast

[jf.

Formandskabet har noteret sig,

FINANSER/ BI]DGET /
øKONOMISK
OG
MONETÆR
POLITIK
Formandskabet har taget
hensyn
til
delegationernes
forskellige
synspunkter med
hensyn
til
alle
de
spørgsmåI, som
hører
ind
under
denne
overskrift.
Det forelægger
forslag
til
præcisering eller ændring
for
så
vidt
angår visse af
disse
punkter,
idet
det
tager hensyn
til,
hvor
stor
stØtte
de
har fået,
samt
til
n/dvendigheden
af
ikke
at
bringe
den
generelle
balance
i
fare, konventet
har
opnået,
navnlig
hvad
angår
institutionelle
spprgsmåI.
a)
Finansielle overslae
Formandskabet
har noteret sig, at visse delegationer har
givet udtryk
betænkeligheder
med hensyn
for
til
procedurerne
for
vedtagelse
af
de
finansielle
overslag
efter2013, og foreslår,
at
konferencen eventuelt drøfter tanken om
en
rendezvous-
klausul
som en
mulighed
for
at
imØdekomme
disse
betænkeligheder.
b)
Budeet
Formandskabet
har noteret sig, at et meget
betydeligt
antal delegationer er
stærkt
imod
budgetbestemmelserne
i
udkastet
til
forfatningstraktat
i
deres
nuværende
affattelse.
Formandskabet
mener
imidlertid,
at det
på
nuværende
tidspunkt
er
hensigtsmæssigt
at
fastholde
bestemmelserne
i
konventets tekst, eftersom
de
forskellige
alternativer,
der
hidtil
er
forelagt, indebærer,
at
den samlede
institutionelle
balance
i
budgetprocedurerne
bringes
i
fare.
c)
Multilateral overvåening
Formandskabet
har noteret sig,
at
nogle
delegationer har foreslået ændringer
konventets
tekst,
navnlig
med hensyn
til
til,
hvorledes
de nærmere
omstændigheder
for
den
multilaterale overvågningsprocedure
skal
fastlægges.
Formandskabet foreslår
imidlertid,
at
der
ikke
foretages ændringer
i
teksten
for
at bevare
konventets afbalancerede
oplæg.
