Under de nuværende regler kan EU kun støtte de landmænd, der er ramt direkte af fugleinfluenzaen, f.eks. i forbindelse med nedslagtning af besætninger.
With the recent spread of avian influenza throughout the European Union, consumer demand for eggs and poultry meat has declined sharply.
Kommissionens forslag går ud på at ændre reglerne, så der også kan ydes økonomisk støtte på op til 50% af det tab, som landmændene bliver påført som følge af svigtende afsætning i kølvandet på fugleinfluenzaen.
Currently, the Commission can only offer EU aid to those farmers directly affected by bird flu, such as through compensation for culling stocks, or by paying for losses incurred due to restrictions on the circulation of products because of measures to combat the disease.
Anmodning om uopsættelig behandling fra Kommissionen - Særlige markedsstøtteforanstaltninger (fjerkræsektoren)
The Commission has proposed to change this regulation by allowing compensation for "serious market disturbances directly attributed to a loss in consumer confidence due to public health, or animal health risks".
Forslag til Rådets forordning om ændring af forordning (EØF) nr. 2771/75 og (EØF) nr. 2777/75 for så vidt angår anvendelsen af undtagelsesforanstaltninger til støtte for markedet
The proposed support measures would be co-financed by the EU at the level of 50%.
De overordnede retningslinjer for de økonomiske politikker
EP calls for economic reform league table
Kommissionen opfordres til hvert år at offentliggøre en liste over de bedste og de dårligste resultater med hensyn til gennemførelse af økonomiske reformer i medlemsstaterne.
- speedy implementation of the national reform programmes;
De nationale reformprogrammer skal implementeres hurtigere, og der skal gennemføres en stram fortolkning af den reviderede stabilitets- og vækstpagt.
- a strict interpretation of the renewed Stability and Growth Pact and additional efforts to reduce public debt burdens;
De opfordres til at udvikle en fælles ordning for evaluering af de fordelende og regionale virkninger af deres beskatningsordninger og tilskud i lyset af, at skattepolitikkerne på lokalt, regionalt, nationalt plan og EU-plan ofte ikke er koordineret.
- the promotion of the entrepreneurial spirit in secondary schools; an evaluation by Member States of the distributive and regional effects of their tax schemes and subsidies;
Derfor går EP ind for ambitiøse politikker for fødselsrater, bedre børnepasningsfaciliteter, ordninger til forbedring af balancen mellem arbejds- og privatliv, integration af indvandrere på arbejdsmarkedet samt nye incitamenter for at tilskynde arbejdstagere til at udsætte den frivillige tilbagetrækning.
- ambitious birth rates policies, improvements in child care facilities, promotion of work-life balance, integration of immigrants into the labour market and action against illegal immigration, and incentives to delay retirement - all with the aim of improving the ratio of working age population over total population;
Desuden skal der gennemføres særlige foranstaltninger for at hjælpe unge, kvinder, personer over 55 år samt handicappede med at få adgang til arbejdsmarkedet.
- efforts better to include young people, women, older people and disabled people in the workforce;
De bør styrke samarbejdet mellem universiteter og de industrielle og kommercielle sektorer samt tilpasse udbuddet af uddannelser til arbejdsmarkedets efterspørgsel.
- improvements for the mobility of researchers and more investment in universities and the encouragement of private investment, to enhance economic efficiency and productivity;
EP understreger betydningen af at skabe et indre marked for tjenesteydelser med en balance mellem markedsåbning, offentlige tjenester og sociale samt forbrugeres rettigheder.
- the achievement of a single European services market in accordance with the EC treaty with a balance between market opening, public services and social and consumer rights
Endelig mener EP, at den nuværende tænkepause om forfatningstraktaten også bør bruges til at vurdere den nuværende ramme for makroøkonomisk styring.
Parliament also wants to see the period of reflection on the constitution to assess the current framework for macroeconomic governance.
EP presser på for fri adgang til EU-15´s arbejdsmarkeder
MEPs call for free access to EU15 labour markets for new Member States
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.
The European Parliament is calling for an end to the transitional measures restricting access to workers from eight 'new' Member States to labour markets in several 'old' Member States.
De lande, der har oprettet sådanne overgangsordninger, skal senest den 1. maj 2006 træffe beslutning om, hvorvidt de ønsker at afvikle eller opretholde dem.
Countries with restrictions in place have until 1 May 2006 to decide on whether to lift them or to extend them until 2009.
I en betænkning af Csaba Őry (PPE-DE, HU) fastslår Parlamentet, at arbejdskraftens fri bevægelighed er en af de fire fundamentale friheder, som det europæiske samarbejde bygger på, og samtidig et udtryk for solidariteten mellem de gamle og nye medlemslande.
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 "
Under debatten understregede Csaba Őry den vigtige rolle, som arbejdskraftens fri bevægelighed spiller for vækst og konkurrencedygtighed i Europa.
Parliament stresses that the free movement of workers is one of the four fundamental freedoms of the EC Treaty, as well as an expression of solidarity between old and new Member States.
En vigtig forudsætning for at sikre arbejdskraftens mobilitet vil være at afvikle de nationale overgangsordninger, vurderede han.
They say that there are no signs of strain on the labour markets of those Member States which have opened their doors: fears of massive migration have proved groundless and there are beneficial effects for the economies concerned.
Han tilføjede endvidere, at de medlemsstater der opretholder sådanne ordninger, til hver tid har mulighed for at afvikle dem.
The Parliament says the denial of opportunities for new Member State workers to work legally in most of the EU-15 has fuelled illegal work, the black economy and worker exploitation.
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.
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.
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 'status quo clause' also states that workers from the new Member States should not face greater restrictions than applied before the accession treaties were signed.
Parlamentet fastslår endvidere, at overgangsordningerne har bidraget til udbredelsen af illegalt arbejde, sorte penge og udnyttelse af østeuropæiske arbejdere.
MEPs call on the Commission to institute proceedings under Article 226 of the EC Treaty without delay should any Member State fail to fulfil its obligations under Articles 12, 39, and 42 of the Treaty or the status quo clause of the Accession Treaty.
Tredjelandes statsborgere og ´status quo´ klausulen
Call for Information campaign and better statistics
Flere MEPer fremhævede under debatten problemet med, at tredjelandes statsborgere, ifølge et nyt direktiv, har en række rettigheder der stiller dem bedre i arbejdsmarkedsmæssig sammenhæng end flere af de nye medlemslandes statsborgere.
MEPs call for standardised statistics on intra-EU migration and for an information campaign to informing citizens more fully about the principles underlying, and the consequences of, the freedom of movement of workers within the EU.
EP opfordrer medlemslandene til at efterleve ´status quo klausulen´ samt præferencebestemmelsen i tiltrædelsestraktaten, der fastslår, at når en ledig stilling opslås, har de nye medlemslandes statsborgere fortrinsret over statsborgere fra tredjelande (paragraf 3, E).
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.
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.
Others have announced that they will renew the restrictions (Germany, Austria).
Servicedirektivet i ny version
It's back to the future on the Services Directive - MEPs react to new proposal
Der var almindelig tilfredshed blandt MEPerne, da den irske kommissær Charlie McCreevy forelagde den reviderede udgave af servicedirektivet.
MEPs had a first opportunity to react to the Commission's revised proposals on the services directive, when Commissioners Charlie McCreevy and Vladimir Spidla outlined their new draft to the House.
Kommissionen har stort set fulgt EP's indstilling fra førstebehandlingen, og flere medlemmer betegnede det som et eksempel på europæiske demokrati i praksis.
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.
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.
The Commission had modified the wording on official authorities in line with the treaty and was aiming for legal certainty in specifying the exclusions of social housing services, services to children, families and people in need provided by the state or by providers mandated by the state.
I modsætning til EP ønsker Kommissionen dog at lade retlige tjenesteydelser være omfattet af direktivet.
It removes the perception – which was in any case mistaken – that there is a threat to labour standards.
Charlie McCreevy henviste til, at artikel 24 og 25 vedrørende udstationering af arbejdstagere er blevet slettet af direktivet, men at dette spørgsmål vil blive dækket af den tjekkiske kommissær.
Articles 24 and 25 have been removed, and the Commission has prepared a communication on the posting of workers to address the issues covered by these articles .”
Vladimír ŠPIDLA i en særskilt meddelelse.
" There is a growing realisation that the consensus you achieved is the basis to take proposal forward.
Mobilitet uden social dumping
The aim is to have freedom to provide services and to prevent social dumping .”
Den tjekkiske beskæftigelseskommissær, Vladimír Špidla, gav en kortfattet orientering vedrørende direktivet om udstationering af arbejdstagere.
The communication, he said, set out what control measures Member States can use to check on working standards.
Formålet med den nye meddelelse er at lette forvaltningen og samtidig give bedre kontrolmuligheder, sagde han.
It set out various measures including the documents required and the need for a representative in the host country.
Det skal fremme arbejdstagernes mobilitet, uden at det fører til social dumping, understregede han.
Only the absolute minimum of documentation was to be required, he said, noting that social insurance papers, for example were already covered by other legislation.
Meddelelsen fastsætter således en række konkrete forpligtelser for virksomhederne, herunder en effektiv gennemførelse af arbejdstagernes rettigheder.
“There is much room for improvement in all areas, in websites and other information tools, in monitoring bodies and in the exchange of documents .”
Socialt ansvarligt forslag
Political Group speakers
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.
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 original commission proposal.
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 has had hearty congratulations from the Council for finding a way open to keep the market functioning and to preserve our social achievements .”
Marianne Thyssen understregede, at direktivet, som en afbalanceret helhed, vil kunne danne basis for økonomisk vækst og beskæftigelse i hele EU.
Economic interests were being protected and social concerns dealt with, she said, adding that consumers would be sufficiently protected.
Jeg er glad for, at Kommissionen har holdt sit løfte ved at følge EP's henstillinger, sagde Evelyne GEBHARDT (PSE, DE).
For the Socialist group, Evelyne GEBHARDT (DE) said the Commission had “ leapt beyond the shadow from which is suffered last week .”
Det er et vigtigt skridt i retning af et socialt Europa, sagde hun.
She was very pleased that the Commission had kept its word and gone along with the majority view of Parliament.
Efter hendes mening har forløbet vist, at EP tager borgerne alvorligt.
She was pleased that sensitive sectors were being excluded, though she said the social services issue would need further discussion.
Nu er det Rådet, der har bolden, og vi må håbe på et hurtigt udspil, konkluderede hun.
“ We have been able to prove that we have exercised our rights to the benefit of citizens.
Øget beskæftigelse er den bedste sociale sikring
It is now up to the Council to deal with this and determine how rapidly we will have this legislation .”
Skabelsen af et sammenhængende og konkurrencedygtigt arbejdsmarked, er ifølge Toine Manders selve forudsætningen for nedbringelsen af ledigheden i hele EU.
“ Creating jobs is the best thing for social security – it is far better than protecting at all costs our so called social achievements .”
Europæisk demokrati i praksis
You can see what happens in France when you try to introduce reforms to preserve our prosperity for our children...
Pierre JONCKHEER (Verts/ALE, BE) glædede sig over, at Kommissionen har fulgt EP's ønsker fra førstebehandlingen.
Pierre JONCKHEER (BE), for the Greens / European Free Alliance Group said he was pleased that the Commission had taken into account the suggestions of the Parliament and the Council.
Det viser, at det europæiske demokrati fungerer i praksis, sagde han.
However, he said that his Group still had problems with the scope of the Directive and the Inclusion of Services of General Interest.
Efter hans mening er der tale om en væsentlig forbedring af det oprindelige forslag.
On the latter point they believe there should be a specific Directive in itself.
Men han var ikke tilfreds med, at tjenesteydelser af "almen økonomisk interesse" fortsat er udelukket fra direktivets anvendelsesområde.
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 håbede, at Rådet vil løse problemet ved at ændre teksten på det pågældende punkt.
He added that his Group would " examine the Commission proposals under a microscope ".
Det bedste er det godes fjende
He noted that under the proposals the rules of integration were still led by freedom of the market and not a wider solidarity.
Hvis dette er det bedste, er det ikke for godt, sagde Adam Jerzy BIELAN (UEN, PL).
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.
Han var skuffet over, hvad han betegnede som tvetydigheden i det nye direktivforslag.
He also criticised the " passive and apathetic " Commission for not acting in the Union's interest.
Denne tvetydighed vil kunne misbruges af de lande, der reelt er modstander af et frit marked for tjenesteydelser, sagde han.
Finally, on Article 24/25 he said that the better solutions promised by the Commission were merely the "status quo".
I den forbindelse bebrejdede han de gamle medlemsstater for at føre en kortsigtet politik, der er med til at begrænse væksten i EU.
However, he criticised the Commission for reprimanding France for taking measures against companies pursuing hostile takeover bids.
Arbejdsmarkedets parter skal samarbejde
British speaker
Francis Wurtz (GUE/NGL, FR) lagde vægt på flere positive aspekter ved Kommissionens forslag, men understregede samtidig behovet for at kigge ændringsforslaget efter i sømmene.
Malcolm HARBOUR (EPP-ED, UK) shadow rapporteur on the proposal, thanked Commissioner McCreevy for "fully living up to the pledge he gave to us " and supported the Commissioner's amended text.
Han fremhævede den stigende rolle, som EP de senere år har fået indenfor beskæftigelsesområdet, og opfodrede de europæiske arbejdsgiverforeninger og fagforeninger til at stoppe deres indbyrdes kampe og i stedet arbejde sammen om langtidsholdbare europæiske løsninger.
Mr Harbour asserted that the proposed text has more than one hundred measures that "remove barriers, reduce bureaucracy, simplify legislation and give more information" and that the Commissioner needs to "go up there and advocate it...to win heart and minds ".
Han vurderede, at servicedirektivet er af vital betydning for hele EU´s fremtid.
The proposed text, he said, "certainly isn't a diluted and weak legislation".
Virkeligheden er altings prøve
Responses to the debate
Anne E. Jensen (Venstre) understregede, at der for så vidt ikke er noget galt med direktivet om udstationering af arbejdstagere.
Commissioner McCreevy stated that on the sectors outside the scope of the directive (sectors excluded) the Treaty provisions remained.
Det er den praktiske gennemførelse, der giver problemer, fastslog hun.
On health, he said that the Commission would debate the issue in the next couple of weeks and that the proposal would at least cover the issue of worker mobility.
Det skyldes, at arbejdstagerne ikke kender deres rettigheder, virksomhederne kender ikke deres forpligtelser, og de offentlige myndigheder er usikre på, hvordan de skal fortolke reglerne.
Mr McCreevy said that Mr Harbour was overly pessimistic as to the perception of the revised proposal and that some initial negative reports in the media had been revised over time.
Derfor gælder det om at informere og administrere bedre, bl.a. ved hjælp af Internettet og kvikskranker i medlemsstaterne.
Commissioner McCreevy said that he had sold the revised proposal to the Council of Ministers, and he also welcomed the European Council's recent endorsement of the revised proposal.
I den forbindelse glædede hun sig over, at Kommissionen nu lever op til sit ansvar og tager initiativ til at få udstationeringsdirektivet til at fungere i praksis.
He said he hoped that the Parliament and Council could work together to reach an early final agreement.
Meddelelse fra Kommissionen - Ændret forslag til direktiv om tjenesteydelser i det indre marked og meddelelse om direktiv 96/71/EF (udstationering af arbejdstagere som led i udveksling af tjenesteydelser)
Commissioner Spidla said that the current posting of workers directive did not pose many problems but rather the implementation by the Member States needed to be improved.
Kommissærer: Charlie McCreevy, Vladimir Špidla Vladimír
Any reform of the directive should always take into account the protection of workers and not create artificial barriers, he said.
Aftale om finansrammen 2007-2013
EU budget 2007-2013: a deal is done - €4 billion more but some dissatisfaction
Efter langvarige og vanskelige forhandlinger blev der tirsdag aften indgået en aftale mellem Parlamentet og Rådet om finansrammen for 2007-2013.
MEPs reacted to the recent deal struck between the Parliament, Council and Commission on the financial perspective 2007-2013.
EP-formanden, Josep Borrell, er tilfreds med resultatet, som indebærer en forøgelse af budgettet med i alt 4 mia. euro.
Although, many MEPs stated their dissatisfaction with the figures, it was felt that reaching a deal was essential.
Efter et marathonmøde på over syv timer blev der tirsdag aften indgået en aftale mellem EP's forhandlingsdelegation og det østrigske formandskab om finansrammen for 2007-2013.
As you are aware, Parliament had set a number of cumulative and quantitative objectives for the financial perspective, namely an increase in overall resources and an improved structure and improved modes of implementation for the budget.
Aftalen betyder, at der udover det beløb på 862,4 mia. euro, der blev fastsat på topmødet i december, afsættes yderligere 4 mia. euro til de programmer, som Parlamentet ønsker at prioritere.
With respect to the Council's position of December, the ceiling has been raised by EUR 4 bn of 'fresh money', to be added to the resources of certain programmes which would have suffered severe cuts.
800 mio. euro mere til Erasmus og Leonardo
These include Erasmus, the lifelong learning programmes, innovation and aids to SMEs.
Den Europæiske Investeringsbank etablerer en kreditfacilitet på 2,5 mia. euro, der primært skal bruges til forskning og udvikling samt transeuropæiske net.
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.
Foruden denne forøgelse af budgettet er parterne blevet enige om en række "kvalitative" tiltag.
He pointed to the increased role for Parliament in the planned review of EU spending.
Det drejer sig bl.a. om at forbedre medlemsstaternes forvaltning af EU-midler samt en beslutning om at inddrage EP i den revision af EU-budgettet, som skal finde sted i 2009.
“ 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 .”
Grund til tilfredshed
Political group speakers
Formanden for Europa-Parlamentet, spanieren Josep BORRELL, indledte mødet onsdag med en kort erklæring i anledning af, at der tirsdag aften blev indgået en aftale mellem EP og Rådet om finansrammen for 2007-2013.
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.
EP-ordføreren, Reimer BÖGE (PPE-DE, DE) vurderede, at alle parter har strakt sig så langt, de kunne, for at få aftalen på plads.
For the Socialist group, Martin SCHULZ (DE) said that while the agreement was “ less that what we wanted, it was more than many expected.
Flere penge til FUSP
He noted the Commission had undertaken to present proposal for the review.
Med aftalen vil det være muligt at fremme udviklingen i de nye medlemsstater og samtidig gennemføre de nødvendige foranstaltninger for at støtte Lissabon-strategien.
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.
Endelig bliver det også muligt at øge indsatsen med hensyn til den fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik, vurderede Barroso.
He considered the Parliaments' budgetary demands to be "very modest indeed" and accordingly advised: "we have to reject this farce, we have to be responsible" .
