Garry Kasparov в пленараната зала на ЕП в Страсбург Garry Kasparov - chess master turned Kremlin critic was at Parliament last week to set out his views on Russian politics.
Garry Kasparov During his visit to the European Parliament during its May sitting, we took the opportunity to put some questions to Mr Kasparov about his view of the current situation in Russia.
In this focus you can read about his meeting with President Pöttering, read the reactions of MEPs on the Foreign Affairs Committee and the Parliament's delegation with Russia.
Russia’s transition away from totalitarian Communism will require many strong hands, but those hands should be selected by the hands of the voters, the citizens of Russia, in free and fair elections.
Finally, we have an exclusive interview with the former chess master himself.
In your political campaigns in Russia, you have used street protest and the internet to communicate your message.
In 2005 he quit the game and turned to politics creating the United Civil Front which aims to preserve electoral democracy in Russia.
We go to the streets and to the internet because there are no official avenues for political opposition or dissent against the current administration today.
His movement is now in coalition with the Other Russia movement of which he is the leader.
My purpose right now is to serve as a sort of moderator in this grand coalition we call the Other Russia.
Mr Kasparov's criticisms of the Kremlin were direct and blunt.
Later in the year we will try to run a type of primary election, which will be difficult under the circumstances, with so much government pressure on our activities.
They deserve our full support and solidarity".
If one of our movement comes to power, his own beliefs and experience will lead him.
The main argument his group intend to use is "defence of Constitutional rights".
The idea that Putin’s Russia will be slowly brought over to the side of human rights by appeasement has by now been thoroughly discredited.
Актьорът Martin Sheen в ЕП: „Трябва да се събудим“
Martin Sheen: “We have to wake up”
Мартин Шийн в ЕП за церемонията за наградите за енергия 2007 г. Американският актьор и природозащитник Мартин Шийн бе в Европейския парламент вчера, 11 април, за да участва в церемонията за връчване на наградите „Energy Globe“ за проекти за „зелена“ енергия от цял свят.
Martin Sheen American actor and environmental campaigner Martin Sheen was in the European Parliament yesterday, 11 April, to take part in the Energy Globe Awards ceremony at which green energy projects from across the world will be recognised at a gala prize-giving event.
Мисля, че тази награда предоставя на обикновените граждани и неправителствените организации, които нямат глас и достъп до средствата за масово осведомяване, възможността да ни покажат това, което е необходимо за всички нас.
I think this Award gives the ordinary citizen and NGOs who have no voice and no access to this kind of media or attention, the chance to show us the things which are necessary for all of us.
Мисля, че въпросът за прясната вода е от първостепенно значение: липсата на прясна вода е една от най-големите опасности, свързани с околната среда, пред които сме изправени сега.
I think the fresh water issue is the main issue: the lack of clean water is one of the greatest environmental dangers we have to face now.
Причинява заболявания и прекършва надеждите на толкова много деца в толкова много страни.
It causes so many diseases and destroys the hopes of so many children in so many of these countries.
Решението за енергията на бъдещето се крие в хидрологията.
Hydrology is the energy of the future

Editor's choice - from climate change to the fight against terrorism
На уеб страницата "Акценти" ще прочетете и видите…
"Plantu" of French newspaper "Le Monde" drawing a cartoon
През изминалите месеци от началото на 2007 г. на уеб страницата "Акценти" бяха публикувани повече от 200 статии.
During the first half of 2007, the Parliament has seen a multitude of issues raised both inside the Plenary and outside.
Те имаха за цел да отразят, обяснят и илюстрират работата на Парламента.
Here we select a number of stories that have made headlines in the first part of the year.
А така също и да доставят удоволствие на читателите - да са интересни, достъпни и дори забавни, доколкото е възможно.
They range from the pressing issue of climate change to debates over civil liberties in the "war on terror" and women's rights.
Но измежду тях, ние си имаме нашите предпочитания и затова ви предлагаме да прочетете някои за втори път.
We have also followed the debates over the proposed draft Constitution for the European Union.
Целта на "Акценти" е да информира всекидневно и по-достъпен начин всички европейски граждани относно дейностите на Европейския парламент.
They form part of the 200 articles that have been published on the Parliament's website over the last six months.
Климатичните изменения касаят всеки от нас Последните няколко седмици бяха изключително важни за дебата относно промените на климата.
The last few weeks have been crucial in the debate over climate change.
Преди няколко седмици депутатите обсъдиха този въпрос в Брюксел.
Two days earlier MEPs - who want a 30% cut in emissions - debated the issue in Brussels.
Нови източници на енергия Повече от ясно е, че съвременният индустриален свят трябва да намери алтернативни форми на енергия, за да бъдат намалени емисиите на въглероден двуокис.
Growing energy consumption threatens environment It is clear that the carbon-hungry economies of the industrialised world must find alterative forms of energy if they wish to reduce CO2 emissions.
Затова според него общественият транспорт трябва да бъде от приоритетно значение.
How to achieve this was a crucial part of the debate.
Нова резолюция относно промените на климата ще бъде обсъдена следващата седмица.
One option is the use of nuclear fuel.
На настоящия етап са регистрирани 23 интергрупи, където депутатите си дават среща, за да дискутират теми и проблеми от общ интерес.
For the Liberal ALDE group Anne Laperrouze called for fiscal measures to promote energy effiency and the use of biofuels and renewable energy.
В началото на парламентарния мандат 1999-2004 г. има около 80 транспартийни групи.
One thing that all MEPs agreed on was the urgency of the problem.
Интергрупите не са официални органи на Европейския парламент, а неформални групи, състоящи се от депутати от различни политически семейства.
Socialist MEP Matthias Groote told the House that "in the politics of climate change the expression 'time is money' has another meaning".
Те дават възможност на депутатите да се срещат в по-неформална обстановка, да обменят информация и да обсъждат специфични въпроси от общ интерес.
This point was reiterated by German Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel - speaking for the current holders of the EU presidency - who said that "if we continue to consume as much energy, in 50 years we will need a 2nd planet".
Някои от интергрупите са свързани със специфични политически интереси и каузи – индустриални, регионални или национални, други пък покриват по-широк обхват на дейност или политическа цел.
Car usage fuels climate change A key aspect of the debate was the extent to which transport - and in particular cars - were making climate change worse.
Популярната Animal Welfare group наброява към 70 активни участници.
Suddenly we don't talk about climate protection anymore but about Porsches!"
Могат да се срещат само по време на минисесиите в Страсбург и не могат да се събират по време на гласувания.
This theme of the type of cars being produced was taken up by Graham Watson for the Liberals.
От благоденствие на животните до антирасизъм …. и винопроизводство Въпросите, по които работят интергрупите са разнообразни и многобройни.
He asked fellow MEPs "do we really need cars that go from 0 to 100 km per hour in less than six seconds if it will destroy our planet in less than six decades?"
В нея са представени депутати от повечето политически групи и националности.
For many MEPs increasing the emphasis on public transport was vital.
Сред успехите й фигурират забраната на продукти, получени от малки тюленчета в Европейския съюз, както и Европейската директива за зоопарковете.
For the Socialist Group Gyula Hegyi said that "road transport uses five times more energy than train transport for the same number of passengers.
Равенството винаги е било фундаментална европейска ценност.
That is why public transport should be a priority for us".
Днес, на 8 март, ще ви запознаем накратко с неговия принос в тази област.
"Why not partnership with China and India?"
Оттогава до днес правата на жените бяха признати чрез различни директиви на Съвета и други общностни инструменти.
To what extent the EU should project its power on to the international stage was a vital part of the debate.
Чрез участието си в дефинирането и прилагането на Рамковата стратегия на Общността за равенството на половете и в програмата за действие в областта на равенството на половете, Европейският парламент подпомага цялостната политика на равнопоставеност на мъжете и жените.
As to what the EU should do to influence countries like China and India that are experiencing rapid economic growth with increasing carbon usage, Anders Wijkman of the European People's Party asked "why not establish partnership with China and India?"
Той дава своя принос и към по-специфични въпроси, като борбата срещу трафика на жени (резолюция от 19 май 2000 г.) и участието на жени в процеса на вземане на решения (резолюция от 18 януари 2001 г.).
He warned that failure to do so would make "what we are doing... marginal".
Парламентът участва в създадената през 1997 г. Мрежа от парламентарни комитети по въпроса за равните възможности на жените и мъжете в Европейския съюз (NCEO).
Calls for 25% increases in renewable energy Last April Parliament adopted a regulation to reduce and prohibit the use of fluorinated gases used in the production of air conditioning units, refrigerators and insulating foam.
С резолюция от 16 септември 1997 г., той подкани Европейската комисия и Съвета да обявят 1999 г. за "Европейска година за борба срещу насилието над жени и деца".
In January 2006 MEPs passed a resolution on climate change, restating the commitment to "undertake strong emissions reductions for developed countries of 30% by 2020".
След тази парламентарна резолюция би приета и програмата DAPHNE за борба срещу насилието и сексуалната експлоатация на децата и жените.
It calls for better technology cooperation to combat climate change.
Благодарение на натиска на Парламента глобалният бюджет на програмата бе увеличен от 41 на 50 млн. евро.
A further resolution on climate change next week calls for renewable energy to make up 25% of the EU total by 2020.
През 2005 г. нигерийската адвокатка Hauwa Ibrahim стана поредният "Сахаров" - лауреат заради действията си в защита на жените, осъдени на смърт чрез пребиване с камъни.
