We have shown extreme understanding and attention, in regard to the process of German unification.

Such a meeting would never have been possible had it not been for the unfolding process of democratization in all the Central and East European countries, a process of democratization that has admittedly been chaotic and is still confused and vulnerable, but practically without violence, except in Romania.

But, apart from this, Mr President, I want to stress two points. The first is that, in October, Germany will be reunited.

process of German unification.

I also consider it very important to note that the situation has led to a rapprochement between foreign policies and I believe that the Helsinki process will offer an opportunity to respond to the dramatic situation in the Gulf resulting from the arrogant aggression of Arab fascism, on the basis of a united policy and approach which, I hope, the United Nations will continue to adopt until the time when Kuwait regains its position in international law.

Unification of States

In 2005, France rejected the proposed European Union Constitution, which could have marked the beginning of the political unification process.

No such peace treaty has yet been signed with the

In the presidency's view, the completion of the internal market is a preliminary, not to say essential condition for the elaboration and completion of Economic and Monetary Union and, therefore, of political union too, thanks to which the internal market will be able to consolidate the structure of Europe.

Finally, I am anxious to scotch the unwarranted rumours that are cropping up here and there not least in the corridors of the Council, it has to be said, Mr Romita suggesting that Parliament is holding things up and acting like a bad partner, given the backlog of dossiers and its uncooperativeness in dealing with the workload.

Whereas the process of unifying Europe has been under way for nearly forty years making headway, yes, but very slowly and fraught with difficulties the unification of Germany has been achieved in less than a year.

One result of the successful progress towards German unification is that large numbers of troops of the four occupying powers will be withdrawn from the Federal Republic.

Today we are no longer hearing affirmations that West Germany is going to pay the bill as the price of our understanding, but rather assessments of the contribution the Community is going to have to make in the name of solidarity to a unification process in which we are all willingly involved.

But it would be wrong simply to dismiss British doubts about the European drive toward greater unity. It is not just a nationalist reaction.

I would also like to draw attention to the difficulty of enforcement that the Commission text sets itself.

Stressing the value of participation by States at all levels of economic development and from different legal systems in the process of harmonizing and unifying international trade law,

Perhaps careful consideration of this possibility, the idea of creating a preferential system which would ensure the speedier consideration of some directives, could be a positive solution.

What stages can be completed at the first important event, the Paris meeting?

Parliament and Council I am not saying the Commission, but Parliament and Council could with a degree of greatness have mastered this process which history is apparently giving to us have done nothing.

Never before has it been more urgent to ensure that the process of German unification and the political strengthening of the European Community coincide.

PANNELLA (NI). (ES) Mr President, I want to ask for referral of the Galle report back to committee, in accordance with the Rules, and with your permission 1 will briefly explain why.

We do not believe that we should be setting up specific reserves for this process. That is anyway going to be dealt with under the revision of the financial perspective for German unification.

It is very unfortunate that we have both the Stockholm Group and the European Community.

On one question Parliament can make a contribution to the further process of German unification' namely, who will represent the people of the GDR in the European Parliament.

It is our extraordinary good fortune, today, to have a German government that is telling us that German unification must go hand in hand with European unification.

Return the process identifier of the parent process of the current process.

First of all the existence of the Community should not act as a brake on the specific unification of the two German states.

To what extent should the European Community contribute to the success of the reforms initiated by Mr Gorbachev, by granting the USSR significant trading concessions ?

As they stand at present, the Commission proposals seem to be highly prescriptive and all embracing and resemble an attempt at unification (which is more the task of a Community regulation) rather than an attempt at harmonization or approximation (which is what a directive sets out to achieve).

It was of course no simple matter for us either, in view of the speeding up of the process of German unification, to perform the work required with the necessary thoroughness, but the Commission has made every effort to do so.
