Tilfredshed med konklusionerne fra det europæiske topmøde 23.-24. marts
EU budget 2007-2013: a deal is done - €4 billion more but some dissatisfaction
Blandt resultaterne var en aftale om en europæisk energipolitik og en beslutning om at fastsætte konkrete mål for Lissabon-strategien.
President Josep BORRELL announced to MEPs that Parliament's negotiating team on the Financial Perspective had reached an agreement with representatives of the Commission and the Council.
En del medlemmer gav dog udtryk for utilfredshed med EU's budgetramme, som de anser for utilstrækkelig til at løse problemerne vedrørende vækst og beskæftigelse.
“This is fresh money for those programmes which had been very considerably cut: Erasmus, Life Long Learning, innovation and assistance for small and medium sized enterprises.”
Den fungerende rådsformand, den østrigske kansler, Wolfgang SCHÜSSEL, redegjorde for konklusionerne det europæiske topmøde den 23.-24. marts 2006.
There was also €2.5 billion more for the European Investment Bank to fund SMEs and Trans-European Transport Networks.
Et af de konkrete mål er øge energieffektiviteten med 20% og øge biobrændstofs andel fra 2% til 8% af det samlede energiforbrug.
The Financial Perspective for the enlarged Europe and what was needed in terms of added value had vanished, he said.
Jobskabelsen skal primært ske i de små og mellemstore virksomheder, hvis administrative byrder skal lettes.
There was, he said, more funding for Life Long Learning and competitiveness and an additional 40,000 students would be able to take part in European exchanges.
Europa kan komme videre
He congratulated all involved.
Han pegede på globaliseringen og befolkningens aldring som de største udfordringer.
He hoped the agreement would be endorsed by the full Parliament and Council without delay.
Medlemsstaterne er indstillet på at sætte skub i Lissabon-strategien, og nu er der ikke tid til snak, nu skal der konkrete handlinger på bordet, sagde han.
“This is not just about the figures, it is also about sound financial management principles, transparency, accountability and the quality of the way we work together.”
Beslutningen om en fælles europæisk energipolitik er efter kommissionsformandens mening det vigtigste resultat fra topmødet.
He pointed to the increased role for Parliament in the planned review of EU spending.
Kommissionen vil gøre sit for at fremme et integreret marked og bekæmpe nationalistiske tendenser, konkluderede Barroso.
“No-one is completely happy, but this is a good demonstration on the spirit of partnership, I hope we can move swiftly to build on this momentum to get all our programmes up and running in time for next year.”
Fælles ansvar
Political group speakers
Det står klarere end nogensinde, at vi har et fælles ansvar for Europas fremtid, sagde Hans-Gert PÖTTERING (PPE-DE, DE).
EPP-ED group leader Hans-Gert POETTERING (DE) said that a lot of progress had been made which would not have been possible without the European Parliament, and without looking beyond the national interest to the common European interest.
I den forbindelse pegede han på nødvendigheden af at understøtte Lissabon-strategien ved at lette bureaukratiet og give mere frihed til virksomhederne.
He called for national authorities to shoulder their responsibility for proper handling of EU funds, not just blaming the EU for any deficiencies.
Efter hans mening vil denne fremgangsmåde også give bedre konkurrenceevne på det globale marked.
He noted the Commission had undertaken to present proposal for the review.
Det gælder om at skabe arbejdspladser og fremtidsmuligheder for de unge, konkluderede han.
He looked forward to improved financial management, saying the EU must spend money properly – and that there was a general agreement to make progress.
Positive livstegn
Thanking all involved, he said, “Today is a good day.”
Der er positive livstegn i det europæiske projekt, sagde Martin SCHULZ (PSE, DE).
There is not enough for research, for Gallileo, TENs and Life Long Learning.
Han glædede sig over, at det østrigske formandskab lægger op til at følge anbefalingerne fra den rapport om beskæftigelsen, som Poul NYRUP RASMUSSEN (Socialdemokraterne) har udarbejdet på vegne af De Europæiske Socialdemokrater.
On behalf of the Greens, Monica FRASSONI (IT) declared that they were "not terribly pleased" with the agreement and not particularly convinced that the Parliament could not have got more.
I denne rapport peges der på behovet for at supplere de private investeringer med offentlige midler.
She noted how the "basic problem is the same: the unwillingness by MEPs to pay for what's necessary in the EU".
For så vidt angår energipolitikken understregede Martin Schulz nødvendigheden af at træffe det rigtige valg i spørgsmålet om atomkraft.
Ms. Frassoni spoke of her concerns that the revision clause was not included in the agreement, she asked what the fate of this clause will be and what the EU decision making process will be in terms of its external progress.
Sammenfattende gav han det østrigske formandskab en midtvejskarakter, der ligger lidt over middel.
She lamented the 20 Billion Euro cut for rural development and also asserted that the topics of EU taxes and EU-own resources have to be kept on the agenda.
Ikke så slemt som det lyder
She closed by describing the agreement as an "unsatisfactory" one.
Graham WATSON (ALDE, UK) karakteriserede konklusionerne fra topmødet med at henvise til Mark Twain's vurdering af Wagner-musik: Det er ikke så slemt, som det lyder.
Francis WURTZ (GUE/NGL, FR) said that the EU budget is "not the only instrument to foster plans for development and growth", suggesting the Central Bank as an example of another instrument.
Han konstaterede, at der rent faktisk sker fremskridt, og at der således er håb for EU.
He was relieved that a decision has been made after 15 months, and that the pressure on EU finances is behind us.
Han glædede sig navnlig over, at Kommissionen har lovet at føre sag mod de medlemsstater, der forbryder sig mod liberaliseringsreglerne.
He declared that his group "will support this proposal", warning however that "if we are below the threshold in the annual budgets, the future of the Union is black".
Han mente dog, at EU bør gå videre med hensyn til at kæmpe for menneskerettighederne, såvel i Guantanamo som i Belarus (Hviderusland).
Nigel FARAGE (UK) for the Independence and Democracy group, opened by saying that the EU was "indulging in its favourite sport and past-time, that of navel-gazing".
Endelig håbede han, at det italienske valg vil føre til et regeringsskifte.
He closed by saying that the UK would not be doing so for much longer: "no British cheque will be coming to you in a few years, but we have enjoyed ourselves while being here".
Men han var skuffet over resultatet fra topmødet og over den nyligt indgåede aftale om budgetrammen.
Fluorinated gases are less well known than CO² but they play a significant role in the greenhouse effect.
Ligeledes ønskede han at "mobilisere" borgernes opsparing for at supplere Den Europæiske Investeringsbanks investeringer i europæisk infrastruktur.
Their potentially harmful nature or "global warming potential" (GWP) is measured on a scale from 1 (equal to CO²) to more than 20 000 for sulphur hexafluoride (SF6).
Endelig ønskede han at reformere de europæiske skattesystemer for at sikre finansiering af de sociale sikringsordninger.
These two legislations are the first step in regulating emissions of F-gases in the EU and they should be a contributing factor to meeting the European objectives in the frame of the Kyoto protocol: the Community is committed to achieving an 8 per cent reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases in the period from 2008 to 2012 compared to 1990 levels.
Ellers risikerer vi at få større ulighed og flere fattige, sluttede han.
The rapporteur for these two legislations, Avril DOYLE (EPP-ED, IE), declared: ...
Kløft mellem borgere og politikere
" I believe the legislation now agreed strikes an equitable balance between environmental protection and single market concerns.
Der er en kløft mellem borgerne og det politiske niveau, sagde Ilda FIGUEIREDO (GUE/NGL, PT).
It will do so in a measured and proportionate way.
Hun havde svært ved at se, hvad EU egentlig gør for at hjælpe de arbejdsløse, navnlig de unge og kvinderne.
The directive on air conditioning systems in motor vehicles aims to regulate the use of these gases and to harmonise type-approval of vehicles as regards air conditioning systems in order to avoid discrepancies between the Member States.
Det hele ender i forblommede vendinger om at fremme beskæftigelsen, men der er ingen konkrete forsøg på at skabe kvalitetsarbejdspladser, sagde hun.
Parliament and Council opted for a ban on fluorinated gases with a GWP of more than 150 in new models planned from 2011 onwards and in all vehicles from 2017.
Det er en hån mod de 15% af EU's borgere, som lever i fattigdom, konkluderede hun.
This Directive will enter into force twenty days after the date of publication in the Official Journal.
Miljøvenlig energipolitik
25 gases under stricter control
Brian CROWLEY (UEN, IE) beklagede, at debatten i enkelte tilfælde havde udviklet sig til en national valgkamp.
This regulation was the subject of a lively debate, in particular when discussing the dual legal base.
Han mente, at EP bør fokusere på at fremme beskæftigelsen og livslang læring, herunder ikke mindst jobskabelsen i de små og mellemstore virksomheder.
Finally, article 175 of the EC Treaty (environment policy), which allows Members States to adopt more stringent national rules, will apply to containment, recovery, certification and reporting.
Efter hans mening bør EU's energipolitik være med til at gavne miljøet og nedsætte afhængigheden af importeret energi, og derfor bør der investeres i udvikling af biobrændstof.
For example, every F-gases should be prohibited from footwear (date of entry into force), tyres and windows for domestic use (1 year after), PFCs should be prohibited from fire extinguishers after 1 year, etc.

Aftale om finansrammen 2007-2013
Free movement of services
Efter langvarige og vanskelige forhandlinger blev der tirsdag aften indgået en aftale mellem Parlamentet og Rådet om finansrammen for 2007-2013.
There was widespread agreement that the Commission had closely followed the position adopted by Parliament at its first reading vote in February – the next stage of the process is for the Member States to come to a common position in the Council.
EP-formanden, Josep Borrell, er tilfreds med resultatet, som indebærer en forøgelse af budgettet med i alt 4 mia. euro.
" The decision to remove all interaction with labour law has been a major help in improving the atmosphere of this debate.
Den Europæiske Investeringsbank etablerer en kreditfacilitet på 2,5 mia. euro, der primært skal bruges til forskning og udvikling samt transeuropæiske net.
For the EPP-ED group, Marianne THYSSEN (BE) said she was not at all displeased with progress of events: “ We have set the tone in the plenary debate and called for a balanced text, and we supported radical changes to the original Commission proposal.
Endelig er der åbnet mulighed for, at overskydende midler fra det såkaldte fleksibilitetsinstrument kan overføres til de efterfølgende to budgetår.
Parliament has had hearty congratulations from the Council for finding a way to keep the market functioning and to preserve our social achievements .”
Foruden denne forøgelse af budgettet er parterne blevet enige om en række "kvalitative" tiltag.
He said this directive was a major step forward for employment in Europe.
EP-ordføreren, Reimer BÖGE (PPE-DE, DE) vurderede, at alle parter har strakt sig så langt, de kunne, for at få aftalen på plads.
Francis WURTZ (FR), speaking for the GUE/NGL Group, said that his Group would " neither underestimate or overestimate their achievements " (since the original proposal).
Han understregede, at EP navnlig har lagt vægt på en reform af budgetproceduren for at gøre den mere effektiv og sikre EP's indflydelse.
He noted that under the proposals the rules of integration were still led by freedom of the market and not a wider solidarity.
Flere penge til FUSP Formanden for Europa-Kommissionen, José Manuel BARROSO, glædede sig over, at der er indgået en aftale, som efter hans mening er bedre end aftalen fra topmødet i december 2005.
Adam Jerzy BIELAN (PL), on behalf of the UEN Group, said that he " could not hide his disappointment " and that the amended version was full of " ambiguous statements " which will be tested by opponents of the liberal market.
Endelig bliver det også muligt at øge indsatsen med hensyn til den fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik, vurderede Barroso.
Fernand LE RACHINEL (NI, FR) welcomed the fact that the Commission took note of the Parliament's vote and is trying to deal with controversial issues such as the " Country-of-origin principle ".

EP presser på for fri adgang til EU-15´s arbejdsmarkeder
EP calls for economic reform league table
Europa-Parlamentet ønsker at afvikle de overgangsordninger, der begrænser adgangen for arbejdere fra otte af de ´nye´ medlemslande til flere af de gamle medlemslandes arbejdsmarkeder.
In its annual report on the EU's Broad Economic Policy Guidelines for the Member States, Parliament is making a wide ranging set of recommendations to the Commission and the Member States.
Samtidig bør disse lande redegøre for, hvordan det sikres, at overgangsordningerne ikke fortsætter efter 2009.
They call for clarity on the "sometimes obscure relationships" among national competition authorities and 'national champions' to remove any suspicion of complicity.
Under debatten understregede Csaba Őry den vigtige rolle, som arbejdskraftens fri bevægelighed spiller for vækst og konkurrencedygtighed i Europa.
It suggests that in the case of major networked services, competition must be guided by strong public service obligations.
En vigtig forudsætning for at sikre arbejdskraftens mobilitet vil være at afvikle de nationale overgangsordninger, vurderede han.
MEPs call for the Commission to issue a "clear and precise interpretative communication on the fourth criterion set out in the Altmark judgement" on state aid for public services.
Han tilføjede endvidere, at de medlemsstater der opretholder sådanne ordninger, til hver tid har mulighed for at afvikle dem.
They ask for a detailed analysis of the problems associated with collective bargaining sensitive economic sectors, such as agriculture, particularly the relationship between small producers and major processors and marketing firms.
Med ændringsforslagene ønskede Őry at finde et kompromis der er i hele EU´s interesse, men som samtidig tager hensyn til de særlige omstændigheder, der gør sig gældende i visse medlemslande.
Highlighting the importance of consumer information in ensuring a genuine competition culture, MEPs say there is a need to consider at Community level private compensation in cases of anti-competitive conduct.
Det fremhæves i den sammenhæng, at den frygt for massiv immigration, der i sin tid motiverede flere gamle medlemslande til at oprette overgangsordningerne, ikke har hold i virkeligheden.
The report also reaffirms the call for Parliament to gain a more active role in the development of competition policy by enhancement of its codecision powers in this field.

Han bemærkede, at selvom overgangsordninger altid har været benyttet i forbindelse med udvidelser, har EU´s historie vist, at disse ordninger med tiden er blevet overflødige.
This schedule would allow the protocol to enter into force on 1 June, adding one month to the waiting period before fishermen could commence activities in the area.

Servicedirektivet i ny version
Call for progress in WTO talks
Der var almindelig tilfredshed blandt MEPerne, da den irske kommissær Charlie McCreevy forelagde den reviderede udgave af servicedirektivet.
The report on the outcome of the WTO’s Hong Kong ministerial conference in December was adopted by 493 votes in favour to 103 against, with 25 abstentions.
Samtidig forelagde beskæftigelseskommissær Vladimír Špidla en meddelelse, som skal supplere udstationeringsdirektivet, efter at de tilsvarende artikler er blevet taget ud af servicedirektivet.
On agriculture, says the committee, the commitments made by the Commission during the negotiations at the WTO must not go beyond the bounds of the current Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) arrangements or the negotiating mandate.
Kommissionen har holdt sit løfte og ændret servicedirektivet i overensstemmelse med Parlamentets ønsker fra førstebehandlingen, sagde den irske kommissær for Det Indre Marked, Charlie McCREEVY.
MEPs in the committee also deplore the absence of progress on the establishment of a register for wines and spirits as well as on the extension of geographical indications to other products.
Han henviste til, at Kommissionen har fulgt EP's henstilling vedrørende oprindelseslandsprincippet, der i det nye udkast er afløst af friheden til at levere tjenesteydelser.
MEPs call for strengthened discipline with regard to anti-dumping and other rules issues in order to prevent abusive recourse to trade defence instruments while preserving the legitimate use and effectiveness of these instruments.
Kommissionen har ligeledes fulgt EP's ønsker med hensyn til undtagelsesklausuler, idet bl.a. tjenesteydelser af almen interesse og sundhedstjenesteydelser er undtaget.
It reiterates the importance of a parliamentary dimension for the WTO to enhance its democratic legitimacy and transparency, with Members of Parliament constituting an important link with citizens.
I modsætning til EP ønsker Kommissionen dog at lade retlige tjenesteydelser være omfattet af direktivet.
MEPs call on the Commission to give due consideration to non-trade concerns (animal welfare and the environment) in the field of agriculture in the forthcoming negotiations.
Mobilitet uden social dumping
European Capitals of Culture 2007-2019
Formålet med den nye meddelelse er at lette forvaltningen og samtidig give bedre kontrolmuligheder, sagde han.
The major innovation is the introduction of a monitoring phase after a city has been designated as a 'Capital of Culture' to ensure respect of the criteria established for the cultural programme and also to give advice and support to the city concerned.
Det skal fremme arbejdstagernes mobilitet, uden at det fører til social dumping, understregede han.
It also makes appropriate changes to deal with the forthcoming accession of Romania and Bulgaria, adding them to the list for 2007 and 2019 respectively.
Marianne THYSSEN (PPE-DE, BE) lykønskede Kommissionen med ændringsforslaget til servicedirektivet, der efter hendes mening imødekommer de krav om social beskyttelse af de europæiske arbejdstagere, som flere af de gamle medlemslande havde fremlagt.
In an own-initiative report by Csaba ŐRY (EPP-ED, HU), adopted by the European Parliament, MEPs "call on the Member States to abolish the transitional measures in force, given that there are no signs of strain on the labour markets of the Member States which have opted for openness without restrictions and that the fears of massive migration have proved groundless"
Endvidere fremhævede hun, at de europæiske forbrugere også bliver tilgodeset i direktivet, og at der i det hele taget er tale om et socialt ansvarligt og godt gennemarbejdet forslag.
Parliament calls on the Member States to enforce the status quo clause and preference rule in the Accession Treaty whereby, when a post is vacant, nationals of the new Member States have priority over third-country nationals.
Marianne Thyssen understregede, at direktivet, som en afbalanceret helhed, vil kunne danne basis for økonomisk vækst og beskæftigelse i hele EU.
Background: In May 2004, labour market restrictions were imposed, as allowed by the accession treaties, on workers from the eight new Member States in Central and Eastern Europe by all the old (EU 15) Member States except Ireland, Sweden and the UK.
Hun afsluttede med at takke Kommissionen for det gode samarbejde.
These arrangements can continue for up to seven years, broken down into three periods (2+3+2 years).
Det er et vigtigt skridt i retning af et socialt Europa, sagde hun.
In this first-reading report, MEPs say that the terms in the programme's title be reversed by calling it Europe for Citizens instead of Citizens for Europe.
Efter hendes mening har forløbet vist, at EP tager borgerne alvorligt.
- town twinning, including - at the wish of MEPs - twinning of sports clubs, for which purpose several references to amateur sports clubs are added to the legislation;
Nu er det Rådet, der har bolden, og vi må håbe på et hurtigt udspil, konkluderede hun.
- support for think-tanks and civil society bodies at European level, such as the Jean Monnet Association, the Robert Schuman European Centre and, following an amendment by MEPs, the Maisons de l'Europe;
Øget beskæftigelse er den bedste sociale sikring
- high-profile events organised by or with the European Commission.
Toine MANDERS (ALDE, NL) startede med at rose Kommissionen for det konstruktive og fremadrettede forslag, som han mente er et afgørende skridt på vejen mod et sammenhængende europæisk arbejdsmarked.
MEPs also stress that encouraging active citizenship is crucial in the fight against racism, xenophobia and intolerance, and in promoting integration, cohesion and democracy.
Skabelsen af et sammenhængende og konkurrencedygtigt arbejdsmarked, er ifølge Toine Manders selve forudsætningen for nedbringelsen af ledigheden i hele EU.
Noting that 25% of Africa's GDP is lost annually to corruption, - the report calls on all EU members to implement the OECD and UN Conventions on corruption and for greater accountability and openness in EU aid programmes.
Europæisk demokrati i praksis
The EU is the world's largest aid donor.
Pierre JONCKHEER (Verts/ALE, BE) glædede sig over, at Kommissionen har fulgt EP's ønsker fra førstebehandlingen.
The African Union estimates that corruption accounts for 25% of Africa's annual GDP - around $148 bn - and is stifling the continent's chances of taking off economically.
Det viser, at det europæiske demokrati fungerer i praksis, sagde han.
The report, drafted by Max van den BERG (PES, NL), stresses that all actors have a role to play in the fight against corruption: politicians, government officials, civil society, media and multinationals.
Efter hans mening er der tale om en væsentlig forbedring af det oprindelige forslag.
The international community can also play a part.
Men han var ikke tilfreds med, at tjenesteydelser af "almen økonomisk interesse" fortsat er udelukket fra direktivets anvendelsesområde.
Parliament urges EU Member States to ratify the OECD Convention on the Bribery of Public Officials (1997) and the UN Convention against Corruption (2003).
Han håbede, at Rådet vil løse problemet ved at ændre teksten på det pågældende punkt.
MEPs would like to go further and they ask the Commission and the Member States to establish an "international system of blacklisting to prevent banks from lending large sums of money to corrupt regimes or individuals representing a government".
Det bedste er det godes fjende
What the developing countries can do
