Det britiske formandskab kan alt i alt få karakteren 6 efter 13-skalaen, sluttede han.
Your approach to the Presidency" , he was to tell Mr. Blair , "has done little to change that climate of opinion".
Hun tog kraftigt afstand fra budgetaftalen, som efter hendes mening er fuldstændig utilstrækkelig i forhold til behovet.
Alluding to the British Prime Minister's claim that a bigger budget is theoretically possible "as long as it is a reform budget" , she questioned why it was that Mr. Blair had not come up with any reform proposals on EU spending back in 2002 or 2003.
Alle de fine ord om kultur, uddannelse, klimaforandringer og miljøbeskyttelse er ikke andet end varm luft, hvis der ikke bliver sat penge af i budgettet, konkluderede hun.
Mrs. Frassoni called for increasing, among other things, the Union's administrative expenses and criticized provisions that, according to her, promise to cut spending on rural development and external action.
Det er en løsning for navlebeskuere, ikke for en positiv udvikling for Europa, sagde han.
Arriving at the crossroads, " you took the wrong road", he said, and now the result was that "Europe is a neoliberal mouse".
Efter hans mening udgør denne neoliberale tilgang en trussel mod EU's fremtid.
Nigel FARAGE (UK) for the IND/DEM group said that the Prime Minister had offered a lot at the beginning of his presidency.
Game, set og match til Chirac
It was " game, set and match to President Chirac, he has outclassed and outplayed you."
Nigel FARAGE (IND/DEM, UK) mente, at Tony Blair havde solgt ud af britiske interesser ved at gå med til en nedskæring af den britiske rabatordning.
He thanked the work of Sir John Grant (UK permanent representative to the EU) and the staff of the UK permanent representation to the European Union.
Han kunne ikke se, hvorfor britiske skatteborgere skulle have interesse i at bidrage til strukturforanstaltninger i Budapest og Warszawa, når infrastrukturen i London er ved at falde sammen.
Mr Blair had first said he would not put the British rebate on the table, then had agreed to put it on the table but only in exchange for reform but in the end he would be "remembered as the man who squandered Margaret Thatcher's legacy".
"Det var game, set og match til den franske præsident Chirac.
Addressing the UKIP delegation, Mr Blair said "you may have our flag next to you, but you not represent the interest of our country.
Storbritannien står alene og isoleret i Europa.
The agreement in Montreal "paved the way for reaching a fundamental framework agreement with countries including America, China and India."
Bare vi dog kunne være sikre på at blive smidt ud," sluttede Nigel Farage.
First, the budget deal needed to be resolved and that was the best budget deal we could reach in the circumstances".
Julemanden havde ikke haft det lettere
British speakers during the debate:
Brian CROWLEY (UEN, IE) betegnede kritikken af det britiske formandskab som lettere urimelig.
Gary TITLEY (PES), leader of the Labour group in the European Parliament said that he was satisfied with the results of the UK Presidency.
Om så Tony Blair havde været julemanden, så var han garanteret blevet mødt med modstand i salen her i dag, konstaterede Crowley.
Also, if €1 billion were to be saved from the EU administrative budget, then it could be saved by Parliament not spending one week per month in Strasbourg; he wondered what support in Council there was for this idea.
Han vurderede, at aftalen var det bedst mulige resultat under de givne omstændigheder.
On the period of reflection, Prime Minister Blair said the only way to change the rules is once we have set out a coherent aim for the EU.
Østrig skal sikre aftale i Parlamentet om EU’s fremtidige finansiering
Austria must get Parliament agreement on future funding of EU
Det østrigske formandskabs logo
Austrian Presidency logo
Når det østrigske formandskab tiltræder 1. januar, vil det skulle balancere på en knivsæg i forhandlingerne med Europa-Parlamentet om EU’s fremtidige finansiering.
Austria will have to steer a difficult course through negotiations with the European Parliament over the future funding of the EU, now it has taken over the presidency of the Union.
Østrig har meldt ud, at man under de seks måneders ledelse vil sætte fokus på beskæftigelse og økonomisk vækst, men formandskabet er også nødt til at sikre en aftale om budgettet, som i december blev godkendt af regeringscheferne, men som er blevet kritiseret af de fleste politiske grupper.
The country has said it will focus on boosting employment and economic growth during its 6-month EU presidency, but it will also have to win agreement on the budget deal approved by heads of state in December, which has been criticised by most of the political groups.
Parlamentet vil søge at forøge EU’s budget på de områder, det ser som omdrejningspunkter for et fremtidigt Europa.
The Parliament will seek to have the EU budget increased in the areas it sees as pivotal for the future of Europe.
Det ønsker øgede midler til forskning og udvikling og afviser på det kraftigste nedskæringer indenfor uddannelse og kultur.
It wants increased spending on research and development and is firmly against any cuts in spending on education and culture.
Østrig sigter mod at nå en aftale i marts.
Austria aims to reach an accord by March.
En gruppe MEP’er mødte en række østrigske ministre i Wien den 19. december for at diskutere samarbejdet mellem formandskabet og Parlamentet.
A group of MEPs met with Austrian ministers in Vienna on December 19 to discuss ways of increasing cooperation between the Parliament and presidency.
Nogle punkter på dagsordenen for de kommende seks måneder.
Some of the items on the agenda over the next 6 months
Østrig har i sinde at udnytte EU-formandskabet til at sætte skub i ”Lissabon-strategien”, som inden 2010 forventes at have forynget Europas økonomi.
The country aims to use its chairmanship of the EU to boost the "Lisbon Strategy" which is supposed to rejuvenate Europe's economy by 2010.
Andre målsætninger for Østrig er udviklingen af ”Den Specifikt Europæiske Sociale Model” og bestræbelser på at ”genskabe troen på det europæiske projekt blandt EU’s borgere.”
Other key objectives on the Austrian agenda will be developing the "specifically European social model" and efforts to "rebuild confidence in the European project among EU citizens."
Af andre emner kan nævnes overgangsordninger for lønmodtagere: Man vil her kigge nærmere på overgangsperioden for at indføre fri bevægelighed for arbejdskraft fra de nye til de ”gamle” EU-lande.
Other issues include workers in transition: the transitional period for introducing freedom of movement for workers from the newest EU countries in some of the "old" EU members will be reviewed.
Arbejdstidsdirektivet har østrigerne udtalt, at de vil “bestræbe sig på at gennemføre forhandlinger” i 2006, som vil være ”Europæisk År for Arbejdstagernes Mobilitet.”
The Working Time Directive: the Austrians have said that they will "endeavour to conclude negotiations" in 2006, which will be the "European year of workers' mobility."
Østrig vil desuden fortsat have fokus på klimaforandringer, som også var et hovedemne under det britiske formandskab.
Austria will also continue the focus on climate change, which was a key point under the UK presidency.
Hvert EU-land har på skift formandskabet for Ministerrådet i en periode på seks måneder og efter en forudbestemt plan.
Each EU country holds the Presidency of the Council of ministers for six months on a rotational basis, following a predetermined order.
Store og små lande optræder her på lige fod.
Large and small countries take part on equal terms.
Østrig efterfølger England, som havde formandskabet mellem juni og december 2005, og vil selv blive efterfulgt af Finland i andet halvår af 2006.
Austria follows the UK, which held the Presidency between June and December 2005, and it will be followed by Finland in the second part of 2006.
Østrig havde sidst formandskabet i andet halvår af 1998 og vil få det igen i første halvår af 2019.
Austria held the Presidency during the second half of 1998 and will hold it again in the first half of 2019.

Europa-Parlamentets fire farver
The European Parliament’s multicolour calendar
Et år i farver I sit berømte digt ”Vokalerne” (”Voyelles”) knytter den franske digter Arthur Rimbaud en farve til hver af alfabetets vokaler.
Parliament's calendar for 2010 In his famous poem “Voyelles” (Vowels) French poet Arthur Rimbaud associated each vowel with a particular colour.
MEP’erne er ligeså ferme til at benytte sig af farver, men tro nu ikke, at Parlamentet har ladet sig inspirere af poesiens muse.
MEPs are just as adept at using colour, but don’t be fooled into thinking that they have been inspired by the poetic muse.
I dette tilfælde er farverne nemlig en praktisk måde at beskrive arbejdstiden på, sådan at hver af de fire farver svarer til en bestemt parlamentarisk aktivitet.
In their case, the use of colour is a practical way of identifying the composition of the parliamentary week, where each of the calendar’s four colours corresponds to a specific parliamentary activity.
Vi “udpensler” her detaljerne i farvelægningen.
Details are “coloured in” below.
Rød uge
Red: Parliamentary sessions and debates
De uger, som er markeret med rødt i kalenderen, er der, hvor de månedlige plenarmøder holdes.
In the calendar, the weeks marked in red are when the plenary sittings are held.
Under disse møder samles alle MEP’erne i mødesalen i Strasbourg.
During these sittings all MEPs meet in public in the chamber in Strasbourg.
Herudover finder der adskillige to-dages møder sted i Bruxelles.
Around six additional two-day sittings also take place in Brussels.
Det er under disse plenarmøder, at alle MEP’erne stemmer, debatterer og træffer de vigtigste politiske beslutninger.
It is during these plenary sittings that MEPs take the most important decisions, adopt legislation and take positions on all manner of political subjects.
Pink uge
Pink: Proposed laws discussed by Committees
Før indstilling, debat og afstemning diskuteres alle lovforslag imidlertid først af MEP’erne i de stående parlamentariske udvalg.
Before being submitted, debated and voted on in plenary session, all proposed legislation is first discussed by MEPs in parliamentary committees.
Disse udvalg gransker og supplerer de forslag, der er indstillet af Kommissionen og Rådet, og hvis behovet opstår, formulerer de et udkast til en betænkning, som bliver fremlagt på plenarmødet.
They scrutinise and amend proposals from the Commission and Council and draft reports which are submitted to the plenary session.
Formændene for udvalgene koordinerer deres arbejde på Udvalgsformandskonferencen.
Committee chairmen coordinate their work within the Conference of Committee Chairmen.
Der er 20 stående udvalg og hvert enkelt specialiserer sig i et bestemt område (f.eks. miljøet, det indre marked, transport eller landbrug).
There are 20 permanent committees and each specialises in a particular field (such as the environment, the internal market, transport and agriculture).
De mødes en eller to gange månedligt i Bruxelles og farven, der bruges til at markere disse udvalgsmøder, er lyserød (pink).
They meet once or twice a month in Brussels and pink is the colour used in the calendar to identify the periods when these committee meetings take place.
Blå uge
Blue: Political groups meet
Den blå farve repræsenterer de uger, der er afsat til møder i de politiske grupper.
Blue represents the weeks devoted to meetings of the political groups.
MEP’erne er sammensat i grupper efter deres politiske tilhørsforhold og ikke efter nationalitet.
MEPs are grouped together on the basis of political affiliation rather than nationality.
Selv om MEP’erne ikke kan tilhøre mere end en politisk gruppe, er det også muligt for et medlem ikke at tilhøre nogen gruppe.
Although MEPs cannot belong to more than one political group, it is possible for a member not to belong to any group.
I så fald benævnes man ”løsgænger”.
In such a case they are known as “non-attached” members.
Hver måned mødes Parlamentets medlemmer i deres grupper, hovedsagligt for at diskutere lovforslag, som er – eller vil blive – gennemgået af udvalgene.
Every month, Parliament’s members meet within their groups to discuss proposed legislation which will come up at the plenary session, which is why mainly blue weeks generally precede red weeks.
Det er dér, de politiske aspekter ved hvert enkelt lovforslag tager form i overensstemmelse med gruppernes ideologiske standpunkter.
It is during these meetings that the political groups set their priorities and take positions on the main issues on the agenda.
Turkise uge
Turquoise: Politics away from the Parliament
Endelig er der de såkaldte "turkise uger".
Lastly, there are the so-called “turquoise” weeks that are reserved for external parliamentary activities.
I disse perioder, som der er fire af i 2009, koncentrerer MEP’erne sig om arbejdet i deres valgkredse, og der er derfor ingen aktiviteter i selve Europa-Parlamentet.
During these periods of which there are four in 2009, there is usually no formal political activity at the European Parliament itself.
Til gengæld har MEP´erne i disse uger mulighed for at komme i kontakt med deres vælgere eller deltage i officielle delegationsbesøg, der har til hensigt at opretholde samt videreudvikle Parlamentets internationale kontakter.
Instead, MEPs have the opportunity to undertake activities away from “base”, for example concentrating on their constituencies and meeting the electorate at home, or possibly by taking part in an official delegation visit to maintain and develop the Parliament's international contacts.

Gaskrisen mellem Rusland og Ukraine - en brat opvågnen for EU’s energisektor
Russia-Ukraine Gas Crisis "Wake Up Call' For EU Energy Sector
Pipelines er nøglen til energien i EU
Russian gas remains key
Den aktuelle gaskrise mellem Rusland og Ukraine er en brat opvågnen for EU ifølge Giles Chichester, MEP og formand for Parlamentets Industri-, Forsknings- og Energiudvalg.
The recent gas crisis between Russia and Ukraine is a "wake up call" for the EU, according to Giles Chichester MEP, Chairman of the Parliament's Industry, Research and Energy Committee.
Da krisen opstod, sagde han i en tale, at situationen ”har åbenlyse konsekvenser for EU’s energimarked og –forsyninger... og minder os om vores afhængighed af importeret brændstof.”
Speaking in the wake of the crisis, he said the situation "has clear implications for EU energy markets and supplies... reminding us of our dependence on imported fuel."
EU er afhængig af Rusland for 25% af sine gasforsyninger og 30% af sine olieforsyninger.
The EU relies on Russia for 25% of its gas and 30% of its oil supplies.
EU-medlemmer som Slovakiet og Finland er helt afhængige, mens andre lande som Polen og Ungarn er afhængige af den russiske gas – hvoraf 90 % passerer gennem Ukraine på vej mod EU.
Some EU members, such as Slovakia and Finland, are totally reliant on Russian gas, while other states like Poland and Hungary are heavily dependent on Russian gas - 90% of which passes through Ukraine on its way to the EU.
Ifølge Chichester illustrerer striden ”vigtigheden af et fuldt fungerende marked for gas og andre energikilder og i særdeleshed farerne ved enhver prisafvigelse fra markedsniveauet.”
According to Mr Chichester the dispute " illustrated the importance of a fully functioning market in gas and other energy sources and, in particular, the dangers of any price distortions from market levels."
Variation er nøglen
Diversity is key
Chichester gentog den europæiske energikommissær Andris Piebalgs' udtalelser for nylig, da han sagde, at ”målet for politikerne, der skal forme EU’s energipolitik må være at sørge for variation i forsyningerne og konkurrerende markeder som den bedste måde at opretholde en stabil og sikker forsyning.”
Echoing recent remarks by European Energy Commissioner Andris Piebalgs, Mr Chichester said that "EU energy policy makers must aim for diversity of supplies and competitive markets as the best way to maintain stable security of supply."
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog i december et lovforslag om energieffektivitet, der kræver, at EU-landene over 9 år skal skære 9% af energiforsyningen til slut-aftagerne - en stramning i forhold til de 6 % over 6 år som de nationale regeringer foretrak.
The European Parliament approved proposed legislation on energy efficiency in December, pushing for EU countries to cut by 9% energy supplied to end-users over 9 years, slightly tougher than national governments who favoured a cut of 6% over 6 years.
Et forslag, der blev søsat af den ungarske økonomiminister Janos Koka ved et hastemøde for EU-energieksperter i onsdags, gik på muligheden for at lave nye gasrørledninger på kyststrækningen ved Adriaterhavet – hvor tankere kunne losse flydende gas fra Mellemøsten og Nordafrika.
One proposal floated by the Hungarian Economics Minister Janos Koka at an emergency meeting of EU energy experts last Wednesday, was the possibility of constructing a new gas pipeline on the Adriatic coast - where tankers would offload liquid gas from the Middle East and North Africa.
Det ville reducere afhængigheden af den russiske naturgas.
This would reduce dependence on Russia natural gas.
Der vil i marts blive konkluderet på en undersøgelse af disse muligheder.
A study into the feasibility of this is due to concluded by March.
Global efterspørgsel vil stige
Global demand set to rise
Det globale behov for gas ser ud til at stige med op til 3 % om året de næste 15 år, og derfor har den seneste krise understreget problemet med gasrørledninger.
With global demand for gas due to grow by up to 3% a year for 15 years, the latest crisis has underlined the problems of gas pipelines.
I modsætning til olien, som bliver handlet globalt og transporteres vidt omkring, hvilket gør det vanskeligt at afskære forsyningerne til et enkelt land, så sker transporten af gas hovedsagligt med rørledninger, der krydser adskillige lande.
Unlike oil, which is traded globally and moved around widely, making it difficult to cut off supplies to a particular country, gas relies on pipelines crossing several countries that can be cut off at will.
De kan afskæres efter forgodtbefindende, og det gør naborelationer vitale for producenter og aftagere.
This makes neighbourly relations vital in for producers and consumers.

Strasbourg, Bruxelles og Luxembourg – Europa-Parlamentets tre arbejdssteder
Strasbourg, Brussels and Luxembourg – the European Parliament’s three workplaces
Europa-Parlamentet har tre arbejdssteder
3 sites - 1 institution
Denne opdeling blev vedtaget på topmødet i Edinburgh i 1992 og i Amsterdam-traktaten i 1999.
This situation was approved at the 1992 Edinburgh Summit and in the Treaty of Amsterdam (1999).
Der ligger historiske årsager bag denne opdeling, men i praksis fungerer det ikke altid lige let.
Historical reasons lie behind this division, but in practical terms it is not always easy to manage.
Hvis man skal møde et medlem af Europa-Parlamentet, skal man altid huske at aftale, hvor det skal foregå.
If you want to meet an MEP at the European Parliament you should never forget to state clearly where you are going to meet.
Man kan i distraktion tage af sted til Parlamentets officielle hovedsæde i Strasbourg blot for at finde ud af, at den person, man skal træffe, venter på en i Bruxelles – og vice versa.
You might absent-mindedly set off for Parliament’s official seat at Strasbourg with the intention of meeting there, only to find that the person you want to meet is waiting for you in Brussels (or vice versa).
Men hvorfor deler Parlamentet sine aktiviteter imellem tre byer?
So why does the European Parliament divide its activities between three cities?
Tilbage i 1951 var det meningen, at det nydannede Europæiske Kul- og Stålfællesskab (EKSF) skulle have hjemsted i Bruxelles.
Back in 1951 all the institutions of the newly-established European Coal & Steel Community (ECSC) were to have been based in Brussels.
Det var i hvert fald holdningen hos alle de deltagende medlemmer – undtagen Belgiens daværende premierminister, som siges at have foretrukket Liège i stedet.
It was the choice of all the founding members barring the then Prime Minister of Belgium, who is said to have favoured Liège.
Enstemmighed var et krav ved beslutninger af denne art, og da man ikke kunne blive enige om Bruxelles, valgte man Luxembourg i stedet.
Unanimity was needed for decisions of this type and, in the absence of an agreement on Brussels, Luxembourg was chosen.
Det gav efterfølgende EKSF’s parlamentariske forsamling det problem, at byen ikke havde en mødesal, der var stor nok til at rumme alle medlemmerne.
This posed a problem for the ECSC’s Parliamentary Assembly, as there was no chamber big enough to accommodate its members.
Den nærmeste mulighed var Europarådets mødesal i Strasbourg.
The nearest was the Council of Europe’s chamber in Strasbourg.
Med dannelsen i 1957 af EØF (det Europæiske Økonomiske Fællesskab) og i takt med at fællesskabets aktiviteter voksede i omfang, rettede en stadig større del af de institutionelle aktiviteter sig imidlertid mod Bruxelles.
But with the founding in 1957 of the EEC (the European Economic Community) - and as the Community’s activities increased in scope - a growing part of institutional activity headed towards Brussels.
De finansielle og lovgivningsmæssige institutioner såvel som Revisionsretten forblev i Luxembourg, men den belgiske hovedstad blev omdrejningspunkt for de fleste af Europa-Kommissionens og Ministerrådets aktiviteter.
Financial and legal institutions, as well as the Court of Auditors, remained in Luxembourg, but the Belgian capital became the focal point for most of the activities of the European Commission and the Council.
Den Parlamentariske Forsamling, som i marts 1962 blev til Europa-Parlamentet, flyttede gradvist sine aktiviteter til Bruxelles.
The Assembly, which became the European Parliament in March 1962, successively transferred its activities to Brussels.
Ifølge en betænkning fra januar 1989 af det britiske konservative MEP Derek Prag, var denne overflytning til Bruxelles officielt accepteret.
Following the January 1989 report by UK Conservative MEP, Derek Prag, the partial transfer towards Brussels was officially accepted.
Målet var at rationalisere Parlamentets arbejde og bringe det tættere på Kommissionen og Rådet.
The aim was to rationalise Parliament’s workings and to bring it closer to the Commission and Council.
Plenarmøderne blev stadig holdt i Strasbourg, men supplerende møder kunne herefter afholdes i Bruxelles.
Plenary sittings were still held in Strasbourg, but additional sittings could subsequently be held in Brussels.
Parlamentet blev dermed spredt på tre arbejdssteder, og sådan er det stadig den dag i dag.
Parliament was thus spread over three workplaces, which remains the case today.
I mange år kunne Belgien og Frankrig ikke blive enige om, hvor Parlamentets officielle hovedsæde skulle være.
For years Belgium and France failed to agree on where the official seat should be sited.
På Det Europæiske Råds møde i Edinburgh i 1992 nåede man dog til enighed.
It was at the Edinburgh European Council in 1992 that an agreement was reached.
