Председателят на ЕП Hans-Gert Pöttering откри юлската пленарна сесия в 17,00 часа местно време в понеделник, 9-ти юли.

Има много данни, че терористичната мрежа Ал Кайда е организирала тези атентати, добави той.
Terrorism, whoever undertakes it, wherever and whenever it takes place, is a crime, and we are decisive in the fight against it.
Председателят на ЕП изрази съчувствие към семействата на загиналите и страдащите в резултат от терористични атаки.
We are going to be led by our principles and the rule of law in what we do, for the fight against terrorism has to reflect the values which we are defending.
Депутатите приеха дневния ред на пленарната сесия с едно изменение: докладът от Helmuth Markov за у правление то на безопасността на пътните инфраструктури беше върнат за преразглеждане в компетентната комисия.

In order to avoid the current practice of some air carriers, i.e. publishing air fares without any taxes and charges, the Transport Committee says that passengers should be provided with a full breakdown of any taxes, fees and charges added to the ticket price.
Според парламентарната комисия отношението към въздушните пътници трябва да е същото като към другите пътници и те също имат право на пълна информация за крайната цена, която трябва да платят.
Air passengers must be treated like other consumers and thus have a right on clear and full information of the price they finally should pay, the Committee argues.

ЕП одобри нови правила за хранителните добавки
Food additives legislation fit for the 21st century
Хранителни добавки
Parliament updates legislation on food additives
Европейският парламент прие изменения към четири регламента за осъвременяване и опростяване на процедурите за издаване на разрешения за добавки, ензими и ароматични продукти за храни.
Parliament approved with amendments a set of four regulations aimed at updating and simplifying methods for authorising food additives and bringing them into line with the latest scientific findings.
Сред целите на законодателството са по-високи стандарти за безопасност за потребителите, както и подобряване на конкурентноспособността на Европейската хранителна индустрия.
One goal is higher safety standards for consumers but this streamlined legislation should also boost innovation and competitiveness in the European food industry.
Докладите бяха подготвени от Комисията по околната среда, общественото здраве и безопасността на храните.
The four first-reading reports were tabled by the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety.
Днес депутатите гласуваха за по-прозрачни процедури, по-добра защита за потребителите и правото на контрол на ЕП върху бъдещи промени в законодателството.
In today's plenary vote, MEPs decided to make the proposed procedures more transparent, to improve consumer protection and to safeguard the EP's right of scrutiny over any updates to the legislation.
Обща процедура за разрешение
Single EU-wide approval
Депутатите също искат предоставени от заявителя научни данни и друга информация да не могат, в срок от пет години от датата на разрешението, да се използват в полза на последващ заявител.
Parliament also says applicants should be granted scientific data protection for five years if, as part of their application, they have to reveal trade secrets that could help their competitors.
Хранителни добавки
Additives must benefit consumers and not harm the environment
В друг доклад от Å sa Westlund (ПЕС, Швеция) ЕП прие изменения към проекторегламента, който установява условията за одобряване на хранителните добавки.
Turning to the three sectoral regulations, Parliament first adopted another report by Åsa Westlund (PES, SE) on additives such as sweeteners, colourings, preservatives, antioxidants, emulsifiers, gelling agents and packaging gases.
В предложениетона ЕК се казва, че хранителните добавки не бива да излагат на опасност здравето на потребителите и не бива да ги заблуждават.
In its draft text the Commission proposed that such additives must not endanger the health of consumers or mislead them, and must be technologically necessary.
Хранителните добавки ще бъдат забранени в необработени храни, а подсладителите и оцветителите ще са забранени в бебешките храни.
They would be completely banned in unprocessed food, as would sweeteners and colourings in food for babies and small children.
С измененията си депутатите искат настоящият регламент да осигури висока степен на защита на околната среда и да е от полза на потребителите - също така влиянието на хранителните добавки върху околната среда не трябва да се пренебрегва и добавките не бива да се изпозват с цел заблуждаване на потребителите за свежестта на продукта .
MEPs go further, arguing that the environmental impact of food additives must not be overlooked, that they should only be used if they bring benefits to consumers and they must not mislead consumers as to specific qualities, for example, the freshness or naturalness of a product.
