Denne indstilling kan udmønte sig i en afvisning af direktivforslaget ved afstemningen onsdag.
Ninety per cent of our external trade goes through sea ports.
Fokus på indholdet
We need a clear set of rules to foster investment.
Ordføreren, Georg JARZEMBOWSKI (PPE-DE, DE), støttede principielt forslaget om en liberalisering af den europæiske havnesektor.
Rapporteur Parliament's rapporteur, Georg JARZEMBOWSKI (EPP-ED, DE), thanked the Commission for its readiness to listen.
Derfor kunne han ikke gå ind for at sende havnepakken direkte tilbage til Kommissionen, som flere af de store grupper i EP nu synes at gå ind for.
He said that after months of intensive debate, all participants were in favour of fair conditions for competition between sea ports.
I stedet opfordrede han medlemmerne til at tage stilling til pakken og de i alt 105 indholdsmæssige ændringsforslag fra Transportudvalget.
There were no major amendments to transparency provisions. "
Han henviste til, at udvalget bl.a. ønsker at fjerne spørgsmålet om selvhåndtering fra pakken.
I find it incomprehensible why four groups want to refer this back to the committee ...
Til gengæld gik han fuldt og helt ind for, at der havnetjenester skal sendes i offentligt udbud for at sikre gennemsigtighed og konkurrenceevne.
Firstly, if there was to be opening of market access for new service providers, this means opening up leases and introducing calls for tender.
Selvhåndtering er ikke det eneste problem, fastslog hun.
We should not allow the actions of some to influence us ," he said.
En retfærdig konkurrencepolitik
Self handling is ludicrous.
Willi PIECYK (PSE, DE) sagde, at nogle af havnearbejderne var gået for vidt i forbindelse med gårsdagens demonstrationer.
In my area of Teesside, with its major chemical industries, it would expose the entire population to danger.
Han fordømte sådanne voldshandlinger.
The Commission should revise its proposal completely before bringing it forward ."
Det foreliggende forslag vil efter hans mening skabe mere bureaukrati og koste arbejdspladser.
Our group sees us heading towards rejection.
Vi skal ikke erstatte de europæiske sociale standarder med asiatiske normer, men i stedet udvikle en retfærdig konkurrencepolitik og sætte et godt eksempel for resten af verden, konkluderede han.
The rapporteur is worthy of our respect, but he no longer has the opportunity to find a majority for a feasible and useful solution.
Behov for et havnedirektiv, men i en anden form
Whether this is the end of the package, I don't know, but we need to set course for a solution to investment and for people too, with legal certainty, equanimity and calm ."
Havnesektoren er den eneste transportsektor, hvor problemer for den fri bevægelighed for tjenesteydelser må løses sag for sag.
He said, however, that he would be voting against the Commission proposal: " It overlooks the realities of EU ports.
Derfor gik hun ind for et havnedirektiv, om end ikke i den nuværende form.
There is already cut-throat competition in most ports ."
Udgangspunktet for Kommissionen er, at man gennem brud med monopoler kan få mere effektive og veldrevne havne, så mere gods kommer via skibe, vejene aflastes og miljøet med.
Anne JENSEN (DK), speaking for the Liberal group, said that after 50 years of the EU, there was no specific legal framework for port services.
Men det er som om dette mål totalt fortabes i debatten, hvor de, der i dag har monopol, kæmper imod, sagde Anne E. Jensen.
Port services, she said, did not come under the free-movement provisions in the Treaties.
Hun erkendte, at der er en række svagheder ved Kommissionens forslag.
However, the current proposal did not take into account the full needs of ports.
Der skal tages bedre hensyn til serviceudbydernes mulighed for at forrente og afskrive de ofte meget store investeringer.
Mrs Jensen said that she was in favour of a port services directive but not the current proposal and welcomed the work of the rapporteur, Mr JARZEMBOWSKI , who had tried to improve the proposal.
Der skal være bedre overgangsregler, når nye serviceudbydere tager over fra gamle.
She was surprised at the protests against the European Parliament, given that Parliament had supported the dockers' requests.
Hvis det ender med at direktivet bliver afvist, så bør dette indgå i et kommende arbejde med ny konsekvensanalyse af lovgivning på området, sluttede Anne E. JENSEN.
She was in favour of freer competition between service providers and ports but was opposed to state-aid and monopolies.
Bedre kontrol med statsstøtte
She said that the Liberal Group was split but many MEPs would vote against the current proposal.
Joost LAGENDIJK (Verts/ALE, NL) mente, at det var lidt af en bedrift, at Kommissionen var i stand til at bruge så mange kræfter på et forslag, der var blevet kritiseret så meget.
Joost LAGENDIJK (NL), for the Greens/EFA group, quipped that it was an " achievement " for the Commission to spend so much time on a proposal that was so dramatically criticised.
Han beklagede, at et "lille mindretal" af havnearbejde havde grebet til voldelige demonstrationer uden for EP i Strasbourg.
He regretted the " small minority " of dockers who demonstrated violently at the European Parliament.
Han henviste til, at både fagforeninger og tjenesteudbydere er modstandere af direktivforslaget.
The directive, he said, was opposed both by the trade unions and by service providers.
Erik MEIJER (GUE/NGL, NL) var modstander af forslaget, som efter hans mening vil skabe flere problemer end det løser.
Erik MEIJER (GUE/NGL, NL) was against the proposal, understanding that it would " cause more problems than it solves ."
Han forudså, at forslaget i sin nuværende form vil skabe urimelige konkurrencebetingelser og vil føre til tab af arbejdspladser.
He anticipated that if the directive was passed, it would mean job losses, very little continuity within port services and unfair competition.
Han afviste princippet om selvhåndtering, som han betegnede som et middel til at erstatte faglærte arbejdere med billig arbejdskraft fra tredjelande.
He rejected the idea of self-handling, noting that its only purpose is to replace skilled workers with cheap labour brought in from outside Europe.
Patrick LOUIS (IND/DEM, FR) mente, at den nye havnepakke ikke er forbedret på væsentlige punkter i forhold til det oprindelige forslag.
Patrick LOUIS (IND/DEM, FR) spoke against the directive, declaring that the proposal was nearly identical to the first, with the same list of services and the same objectives.
Der er tale om en lappeløsning, der bærer tydeligt præg af hastværksarbejde, sagde han.
He acknowledged the fact that the port services are in need of a reform, but, however, considered that this directive in no way satisfies that need.
Efter hans mening vil forslaget betyde højere omkostninger for de mindre virksomheder.
Roberts ZĪLE (LV), for the UEN group, said that the Commission proposal " was typical and usual " because " it was presented without an impact assessment ."
Derfor var han indstillet på at forkaste forslaget.
He also said that Baltic ports would suffer from competition from Russian ports.
Problemer for de baltiske stater
He, however, regretted that the " violent minority and the position of the Left in the Parliament would claim victory following an eventual rejection ".
Også Roberts ZĪLE (UEN, LV) gik imod Kommissionens forslag.
Ashley MOTE (NA, UK) spoke against the directive declaring it as a proposal that " imposes controls that are neither necessary nor desirable ."
Han henviste til, at der ikke er foretaget nogen konsekvensanalyse med hensyn til de nye medlemsstater.
He described the privatised sector of the British port services sector, and considered that the directive threatens to undermine the confidence of British investors by interfering with freely negotiated contracts.
Det betyder, at de baltiske lande vil blive stillet særdeles ufordelagtigt, idet de vil blive udsat for dobbelt konkurrence, bl.a. fra de statsstøttede russiske havne.
Mr. Mote said he was in favour of rejecting the proposal saying that " if passed, this directive will cost without yielding benefit, and slow down progress - the house should throw it out ."
E-mail :tran-press@europarl.europa.eu Betænkning om forslag til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv om adgang til markedet for havnetjenester
Not one UK port, he said, supported the Commission proposal and the authorisation and tendering parts of the proposed directive would not lead to greater competition as the Commission had suggested.
Påstande om CIA-fangelejre i Europa: EP nedsætter et udvalg for at undersøge sagen
Ports would " cherry-pick " from the directive and lead to distortions in the market.
Er der CIA-fangelejre i Europa?
He told the Commission " no means no in any language ".
Har CIA brugt europæiske lufthavne til at transportere terrormistænkte videre til lokaliteter, hvor de bliver udsat for tortur?
Sajjad Haider KARIM (ALDE, UK) had a message for the dockers who protested outside the European Parliament: MEP after MEP had stood up and supported the dockers, he said, and therefore he called for the dockers to support Parliament.
Det er to af de spørgsmål, der ligger til grund for etableringen af et nyt midlertidigt udvalg, som EP har besluttet at nedsætte.
He also recalled that Parliament had effectively rejected the directive in 2003 and therefore said that the process was " democratically deficient ."
Det er baggrunden for, at Parlamentet har besluttet at nedsætte et midlertidigt udvalg om CIA's formodede brug af europæiske lande ved transport og ulovlig tilbageholdelse af fanger.
Richard HOWITT (PES, UK) said that given that the European Parliament had rejected the directive in 2003, no one would have believed that the Commission would bring back the procedure.
Udvalget skal ligeledes undersøge, hvorvidt EU-borgere har været involveret i eller har været udsat for bortførelser, "ekstraordinære udleverings"-operationer, tilbageholdelse på hemmelige steder, isoleret tilbageholdelse eller tortur eller grusom, umenneskelig eller nedværdigende behandling.
He stated that the UKIP MEPs had voted in favour of the legislation in the Transport Committee. "
Det skal ligeledes undersøge, hvorvidt
Competition should be between ports but not within ports ", he said.

He agreed that other important problems existed.

The aim was to incite more investment.
Hårde forhandlinger om finansrammen for 2007-2013
Strategies to prevent trafficking in women and children
Der er lagt op til hårde forhandlinger om finansrammen for 2007-2013, efter at Parlamentet i dag med stort flertal afviste den aftale, der blev indgået på topmødet i Bruxelles i december.
Parliament adopted a report by 622 votes in favour, 12 against and 19 abstentions, proposing strategies to tackle the growing world-wide problem of trafficking in women and children, including measures to deal with the supply and demand sides as well as the traffickers.
EP kræver flere midler til højt prioriterede områder og ønsker også større fleksibilitet.
Women and children are particularly vulnerable to this modern form of slavery.
Der er dog håb om, at der kan opnås en aftale i løbet af foråret.
Over 100,000 women are the victims of trafficking in the EU.
Parlamentet glæder sig dog over, at topmødet endelig nåede frem til en fælles holdning for medlemsstaterne, hvilket baner vej for indledningen af forhandlinger med Europa-Parlamentet om den kommende finansramme.
The European Parliament took a firm grip of the EU's long-term budget, overwhelmingly rejecting the agreement reached by the heads of government in December and calling for negotiations over the level of the provisions for 2007-2013 as well as spending plans.
Det insisterer på i fuldt omfang at spille sin parlamentariske rolle i forbindelse med fastlæggelsen af politikker, ændringen af disse og bevillingerne hertil.
MEPs were particularly critical of the €862 billion in funding agreed by leaders, which compares unfavourably with the €975 billion proposed by the Parliament in June.
Det understreger betydningen af større fleksibilitet og efterlyser derfor en passende, detaljeret fleksibilitetsmekanisme.
Nevertheless, Parliament welcomes the fact that Council managed to come up with a position, which allow the opening of negotiations.
I første omgang mødes EP-formanden Josep BORRELL med rådsformanden Wolfgang SCHÜSSEL og kommissionsformanden José Manuel BARROSO i et møde for lukkede døre den 23. januar for at drøfte det videre forløb.
The European Parliament wants a firm commitment that it will be involved in talks on the revision of the EU budget as well as an improved mechanism to come up with supplementary funds should the need arise, i.e. a new, better version of the so-called " flexibility instrument " Talks will continue on Monday 23 January in a trialogue to be held in camera after the first meeting on 18 January between President Borrell, President Barroso and Chancellor Schüssel .
Derefter forventes Kommissionen at fremlægge sit udkast til en ny interinstitutionel aftale om finansrammen i begyndelsen af februar, hvorefter de egentlige forhandlinger kan begynde.
The Commission is expected to hand in its draft inter-institutional agreement on the financial perspective in early February upon which parties will then negotiate.
Bedre badevandskvalitet - det bliver lettere at gå i vandet
Safer bathing in cleaner water
Har De lyst til en svømmetur?
Fancy a swim?
Oplysninger skal også opslås lokalt.
Information will also be posted at the locations.
Resultatet kommer efter tre års hårde forhandlinger, hvor EP til stadighed har kæmpet for at stramme reglerne og forbedre badevandskvaliteten i EU.
The Parliament negotiated ruthlessly with EU ministers over three years to strengthen standards and to improve the quality of conditions across the EU.
Parlamentet har med stort flertal (584 for, 11 imod og 56 hverken/eller) godkendt en ny version af teksten, som fastlægger hvordan medlemsstaterne skal forvalte badevandskvaliteten.
Parliament voted to approve the conciliation agreement on bathing water with 584 votes in favour 11 against and 56 abstentions.
Det gamle direktiv forbliver i kraft indtil 2014, men fra 2015 træder det nye, forenklede system i kraft.
The provisions of the old directive and the parameters it required to be measured had been overtaken by scientific developments.
Kvalitetsmålingerne begrænses fra de nuværende 19 parametre til kun to, men til gengæld strammes kravene.
But the European Parliament and the Council, in their efforts to strike a balance between health standards and the need to avoid administrative and financial burdens, had stuck to their different positions at the end of the second reading of the co-decision procedure.
Endvidere indføres der en ny kategori for badevandskvalitet, nemlig "tilfredsstillende".
This meant conciliation was needed, i.e. direct negotiations between 25 Council representatives and 25 MEPs.
I Danmark bruges for tiden tre betegnelser, nemlig "godt badevand", "badevand under observation" og forbudt badevand.
Jules MAATEN (ALDE, NL), rapporteur described the outcome of the vote as: " less bureaucracy, less risk and more information ".
Der er også opnået enighed om en forbedring af den fælles holdning vedrørende informering og inddragelse af offentligheden.
Final obstacles removed The main obstacle in the final round of talks was the question of the standards to be applied to a new category of intermediate quality - known as "sufficient quality" - which would be lower than "excellent quality" and "good quality".
Det vurderes, at bedre informerede borgere vil lægge pres på medlemsstaterne, således at de overholder bestemmelserne i det nye direktiv.
From now on, in the "sufficient" category, the parameters for intestinal enterococchi will be 330 (inland waters) and 185 (coastal waters), measured at 90 percentiles.
Østrigsk formandskab uden falbelader
At that point it is envisaged that the "sufficient" category may disappear.
Der var megen ros og lidt ris til Wolfgang Schüssel, da han fremlagde det østrigske EU-formandskabs planer for det kommende halvår.
During the negotiations, Parliament also obtained a commitment from the Member States that constantly updated information should be provided to bathers.
Flere talere glædede sig over "den realistiske og pragmatiske tone" i fremlæggelsen af programmet.
New standard signs will be devised in the near future and must be placed at all bathing sites to indicate the quality of the water.
Formandskabets hovedprioritet er at fremme vækst og beskæftigelse, og det blev støttet af de største politiske grupper.
The findings of regular tests will also be made available swiftly, in particular on the Internet.
Til gengæld er der lagt op til vanskelige forhandlinger om finansrammen for 2007-2013, hvor EP vil kræve såvel flere midler som større fleksibilitet.
The directive is scheduled to be implemented within two years after it has entered into force, namely at the start of 2008.
Det er af afgørende betydning at stille det rigtige spørgsmål, sagde forbundskansler Wolfgang SCHÜSSEL, da han forelagde det østrigske EU-formandskabs arbejdsprogram.
European Parliament legislative resolution on the joint text approved by the Conciliation Committee for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the management of bathing water quality
Han understregede, at mange spørgsmål kræver et europæisk svar.
Stricter control of mining waste - conciliation approved
I den forbindelse henviste han til, at EU var særdeles aktiv i bestræbelsere på at få bilagt den nylige gaskonflikt mellem Rusland og Ukraine.
Parliament voted to approve the conciliation agreement on mining waste.
Han lagde samtidig op til en anden form for finansiering af EU-samarbejdet.
With over 400 million tonnes of waste per year, the European mining industry accounts for around 30% of all waste generated in the EU.
Han mente, at det vil kunne sætte en stopper for de evindelige diskussioner mellem de såkaldte nettobidragydere og nettobidragmodtagere i EU.
Following an agreement reached in conciliation between the European Parliament and the Council, this waste will soon be managed according to rules laid down in a new European directive.
Nej til social dumping
The pollution spread as far as Hungary and into the Danube.
Rådsformanden lagde vægt på at skabe vækst og beskæftigelse i Europa.
In 1998 a similar accident spilled heavy metals in Andalusia.
Han betegnede de små og mellemstore virksomheder som et veritabelt kraftcenter for jobskabelse.
Other disasters, involving landslides, have occurred in Italy in 1985 (268 dead) and Wales in 1966 (144 dead).
Derfor gælder det efter hans mening om at lette tilværelsen for de små og mellemstore virksomheder, bl.a. ved at lette de administrative byrder og give adgang til forskellige støtteprogrammer.
The European Parliament had to go to conciliation, the last stage of the codecision procedure, to make the Council accept its main demands.
Samtidig understregede han, at den tilstræbte åbning af det europæiske marked ikke må føre til social dumping.
On 29 November the EP delegation to the conciliation committee unanimously approved a deal reached by its negotiators with the Council.
Derfor skal der findes en balance mellem åbning og beskyttelse.
The permanent representatives of the Member States had approved the deal on 23 November.
Han understregede, at en årlig økonomisk vækst på 3% og en årlig nedgang i ledigheden på 1% vil føre til en halvering af arbejdsløsheden i EU i løbet af fem år.
If the full Parliament approves this new text, the Member States will then have two years to enact the directive in national law.
Det østrigske EU-formandskab har klart meldt ud, at det ønsker at støtte landene i Vestbalkan i deres bestræbelser på at opnå EU-medlemskab.
Dangerous tailings dams with high concentrations of cyanide, such as in the accident in Baia Mare in Romania, will no longer be allowed.
Beslutningen medfører bl.a. større fleksibilitet, oprettelse af en fond til afhjælpning af globaliseringens negative konsekvenser, samt en revisionsklausul.
The accident a few days ago involving a spillage of cyanide into the Cisla river in Romania underlines the importance - especially in the accession states - of this piece of legislation."
Barroso fremhævede behovet for modernisering og reformer for at imødekomme borgernes ønsker om økonomisk vækst og jobskabelse.
MEPs therefore welcomed the fact that the agreement includes a joint statement by Bulgaria and Romania in which these two candidate countries undertake to meet the deadlines laid down for the implementation of the new EU legislation.
Han pegede endvidere på behovet at styrke det europæiske energimarked, ikke mindst i lyset af de høje oliepriser og den nylige gaskonflikt mellem Rusland og Ukraine.
Several aspects of waste management have been tightened up, in particular where the operator places the waste back in excavation voids in order to restore the site.
Han støttede det østrigske formandskab i prioriteringen af landene i Vestbalkan for så vidt angår udvidelsen af EU.
These inventories of "historic" waste now included in the legislation will provide a basis for defining measures to be taken in future.
Tillid et nøglebegreb
Do CIA detention centres exist in Europe?
Hans-Gert PÖTTERING (PPE-DE, DE) gav udtryk for store forventninger til det østrigske formandskab, fordi "Europa har brug for tillid og for fremskridt".
Has the CIA been using European airports to transport terrorist suspects to places where they could face torture?
Han betegnede programmet som fornuftigt, ambitiøst og realistisk.
These are two questions that lie at the heart of a new temporary committee set up by the Parliament .
Her er ikke tale om "retorik og tomme ord, men om at handle konkret og kompetent for Europa", sagde han.
Membership was agreed on Thursday and the list of members is included hereunder in this article.
Han understregede, at tillid er et europæisk nøglebegreb, ikke bare borgernes tillid til Europa, men også regeringschefernes indbyrdes tillid.
Parliament also states that the temporary committee will liaise and cooperate "as closely as possible" with, inter alia, the Council of Europe, the European Commissioner responsible for human rights, the UN Commissioner for Human Rights and with national parliaments.
Samtidig tog han klart afstand fra den hollandske udenrigsministers udtalelse for nyligt om, at forfatningstraktaten er afgået ved døden.
On Thursday, the plenary approved the full list of 22 members for the Committee of Inquiry to look into the collapse of the Equitable Life Assurance Society..
Derfor bad han om, at der bliver "fastlagt en køreplan for arbejdet med forfatningstraktaten, så der kan findes en løsning, som alle lande kan gå ind for".
Over a million UK policy holders and more than 15,000 policy holders in other EU countries, notably Germany and Ireland, incurred major losses to their pensions, savings or investments following alleged mismanagement at Equitable Life.
Med henvisning til gaskonflikten mellem Rusland og Ukraine sagde han, at vi godt "kan smide vores tanker om velstand i skraldespanden", hvis et G8-land kan få lov til at optræde uden hensyntagen til retsstatsprincipper og menneskerettigheder.
The committee will have twelve months to complete its work and submit a report to Parliament.
Ambitioner over for økonomiske realiteter
An interim report will be delivered after four months.
Vi er nødt til at se "kritisk på formandskabets ambitioner og de økonomiske realiteter", sagde Martin SCHULZ (PSE, DE).
The European Parliament has the power to set up a committee of inquiry to investigate "alleged contraventions or maladministration in the implementation of Community law" (Article 193 of the EC Treaty).
Han henviste til, at borgerne ønsker vækst og arbejdspladser.
The committee can hold hearings and invite EC institutions or national governments to send representatives to testify at those hearings.
Borgerne ønsker også, "at Javier SOLANA ikke skal gå rundt med hatten i hånden", når der er brug for EU's hurtige indgriben rundt omkring i verden, sagde han.
White sugar prices should be cut by no more than 30% and restructuring aid should be made available for the most deeply affected workers in the sector.
