Det støtter Kommissionens forslag om at nedsætte belægningsgraden generelt til 30 kg/m² (dvs. 15 kyllinger/m²), men fremsætter samtidig en række ændringsforslag med det formål at stramme reglerne.
However, MEPs call for several changes to the proposed directive, in line with their assertion that " economic and social considerations should not take precedence over animal welfare and health ."
Kommissionen ønsker at give mulighed for at afvige fra den generelle regel og øge belægningsgraden til 38 kg/m², såfremt visse særlige betingelser er opfyldt.
The Commission would allow the possibility of a derogation to the rules, up to a maximum of 38 kg/m2, if a number of additional animal welfare criteria are met.
Af hensyn til producenterne kan EP foreløbigt tilslutte sig tanken, men det ønsker at fastsætte den 1. januar 2013 som en skæringsdato, hvor belægningsgraden ikke må overstige 34 kg/m².
While the Parliament agreed to this possibility, it is proposing a cut-off date of January 1, 2013, from which point on the stocking density may not exceed 34 kg/m2.
Samtidig ønsker MEPerne, at nogle af de særlige betingelser vedrørende ventilation og temperaturforhold skal udvides til at omfatte alle opdræt, uanset om deres belægningsgrad ikke overstiger den generelle grænse.
In addition, some of the Commission's welfare criteria regarding ventilation and temperature limits would be extended to all holdings, regardless of whether they were operating under the derogation.
Når udendørstemperaturen er under 10°, må den relative luftfugtighed højst være 70%.
MEPs wish to do away with the possibility of surgical interventions.
Indendørstemperaturen må højst være 3° højere end udendørstemperaturen, når denne overstiger 30°.
Under the rules laid down in Mr. Berman's report, practices of beak trimming and the castration of male chickens would no longer be allowed under any circumstances.
Desuden skal der være tilstrækkelig ventilation, regelmæssige fodringstidspunkter, permanent adgang til drikkevand, og alle kyllingerne skal tilses to gange dagligt.
The Parliament also added a reference to genetic selection, suggesting that this " must not restrict, diminish, or threaten animals' welfare potential ."
Ved overtrædelse af reglerne skal myndighederne kunne pålægge producenten at nedsætte belægningsgraden.
Nevertheless, the House insists that the penalties be "proportionate, progressive, dissuasive" and gradual.
EP går ind for et standardiseret klassificeringssystem for sygdomssymptomer hos slagtekyllinger, helst med egentlige beskrivelser af "typiske" læsioner ledsaget af fotografier.
MEPs also call for a uniform classification scheme for symptoms of illness in chickens, harmonized penalties for infringements, as well as a common system of labelling chicken meat for consumers.
Det ønsker ligeledes en særlig mærkningsordning, som angiveligt vil øge synligheden af den indsats, der gøres af producenterne, og dermed give EU's produkter en merværdi i forhold til importprodukter fra tredjelande.
The latter should indicate not only the origin and production standards of the products, but also the animal's age and the stocking density at which the chickens are kept.
Globaliseringens indvirkninger på det indre marked
MEPs call on Member States to open up their labour markets
Det henviser til, at udviklingen af EU's indre marked og udviklingen i verdensøkonomien hænger nøje sammen, og at globaliseringen fremmer den internationale handel med varer og tjenesteydelser.
Noting that the EU, over the past few years, has been facing challenges to retain its leading position in areas such as economic growth, labour market performance, research and innovation, MEPs argue that the key to solving these problems lies in the completion of the internal market, " the EU's strongest asset to maximise the advantages of globalisation ".
Det fremgår af betænkningen, at globaliseringen på den ene side giver nye muligheder i form af adgang til verdensmarkedet, og på den anden side truer med at gøre EU afhængig af udviklingen af verdenshandelen.
In calling for bold steps to complete the internal market the report " applauds those Member States which have opened up their labour markets for citizens from the new Member States " and " urges those Member States which still maintain restrictions in this regard to eliminate existing obstacles to the free movement of labour ".
EP fremhæver de betænkeligheder med hensyn til globaliseringens konsekvenser for europæiske arbejdstagere, som Kommissionen har givet udtryk for i sin meddelelse om europæiske værdier i en globaliseret verden Derfor bør man efter Parlamentets mening støtte de positive og eliminere de negative virkninger for det indre marked.
As a Commission official observed during a debate at committee level, -- and as MEPs went on to contend in their report -- the EU must ensure that the internal market "remains an attractive place to invest".
EP bemærker, at liberaliseringen af handelen med tredjelande med lave arbejds- og miljøstandarder stiller EU's konkurrenceevne over for en betydelig udfordring og kræver store tilpasninger af de europæiske økonomiske og sociale modeller.
At the same time, as the Parliament states, a flexible and globally-oriented internal market should go hand in hand with efforts "to deliver growth, jobs, social justice and respect for ecological balance while maintaining [Europe's] values and [its] social model."
Det henviser til, at solidaritet, respekt for menneskerettighederne, økologiske og sociale standarder, bæredygtig udvikling og fælles ansvar for løsning af udviklingslandenes fattigdomsproblem er nøgleværdier for EU.
As Konrad Szymański (UEN, PL) saw it, Thursday's vote on the controversial services directive will be the "first test of our true intentions".
Samtidig ønsker EP at støtte de små og mellemstore virksomheder og styrke deres position og adgang til innovations- og finansieringsværktøjer.
" Protectionism is not the answer ," argued Commissioner for the Internal Market and Services Charlie McCreevy , speaking before the plenary.
Endvidere går det ind for at beskytte den intellektuelle og industrielle ejendomsret ved at oprette integrerede og effektive patentordninger samt en effektiv kontrol med forfalskninger, for at beskytte de europæiske økonomiske interesser.
As international integration accelerates, he remarked, "the concept of open markets and a globalising economy have come under attack."
EP påpeger, at skabelsen af et indre marked for tjenesteydelser er afgørende for at kunne virkeliggøre målsætningerne i Lissabon-strategien og dermed for at forbedre EU's konkurrenceevne på verdensmarkedet.
" I am not denying that many industries go through difficult and sometimes painful transitions " he added, noting "legitimate" concerns about globalisation, " but it does no good to try to shift the balance elsewhere – foreign takeovers, cheap imports, and migrant workers ".
Parlamentet opfordrer alle politiske aktører til at samarbejde om at realisere de europæiske ambitioner om at indtage en førerposition.
It is for this reason that the Parliament -- citing the Globalisation Adjustment Fund as an example -- calls for " other action lines " to cushion the negative effects, and to take advantage of the positive effects, of globalisation.
Det glæder sig over de medlemsstater, der har åbnet deres arbejdsmarkeder for borgere fra de nye medlemsstater.
Securing the EU's competitive advantage
Det opfordrer de medlemsstater, som stadig opretholder restriktioner på dette område, til at fjerne de eksisterende hindringer for arbejdskraftens frie bevægelighed.
As Mrs. Herczog had remarked during last year's public hearing, the EU, if it wishes to compete in the know-how sector, must be able not only to generate, but also to safeguard, knowledge and innovation.
Kommissionen og Rådet opfordres til at udarbejde en velafbalanceret udenrigspolitik, som skal gøre det muligt for EU at opnå større indflydelse på internationalt plan.
Patents, copyright laws and anti-piracy policies are fundamental in this context.
Arbejdstagere skal beskyttes mod optisk stråling: Aftale på plads
Protection of workers from optical radiation - deal approved
Efter aftale med Rådet skal direktivet kun omfatte kunstige strålingskilder.
The Council has accepted Parliament's key demand that the legislation should cover only artificial sources of optical radiation and not natural sources such as the sun.
De naturlige strålingskilder, herunder solen, vil således ikke være omfattet, og den nok så bekendte betegnelse "solskinsdirektivet" er derfor ikke længere på sin plads
The often heard name "sunshine directive" is thus now completely inappropriate.
EU lægger vægt på at sikre et ordentligt arbejdsmiljø.
The directive lays down minimum standards for the prevention and early diagnosis of damage to the eyes and skin from optical radiation, and for the prevention of long-term health dangers.
Derfor er der i tidens løb blevet vedtaget tre direktiver vedrørende beskyttelse af arbejdstagere mod forskellige fysiske påvirkninger, nærmere bestemt vibrationer, støj og elektromagnetiske felter.
It sets exposure limit values and requires employers to carry out risk assessments.
Nu er det sidste direktivforslag i rækken blevet vedtaget, nemlig et forslag om beskyttelse mod optisk stråling.
It also includes provisions on workers' rights to information, training, consultation and health checks.
Arbejdsgiverne er ansvarlige for at træffe de fornødne foranstaltninger for at beskytte arbejdstagerne mod risikoen fra optisk stråling, herunder sikring af selve arbejdspladsen.
The Council wanted to require employers not only to assess the risks but also to set up an action plan if a risk is identified.
Direktivet omfatter også bestemmelser vedrørende arbejdstagernes ret til information, uddannelse og sundhedseftersyn.
The deal approved by the two delegations excludes any reference to natural optical radiation from the directive and thus limits its scope to artificial optical radiation.
Direktivet blev i sin tid kaldt "solskinsdirektivet", fordi det kunne tolkes derhen, at arbejdstagerne skulle beskyttes mod solens stråling.
If the full Parliament endorses the agreement, Member States will have four years to implement the directive at national level.
Men der er altså nu opnået en aftale mellem EP og Rådet, som indebærer, at direktivet udelukkende skal omfatte kunstige strålingskilder.
As to the sources of artificial radiation concerned, such as lasers and infrared lamps, the directive details the measures the employer must take to protect employees.
Fokus på EU's "menneskerettighedsklausul"
Making human rights clauses more effective
EU har i mange år haft en såkaldt "menneskerettighedsklausul" i sine rammeaftaler med tredjelande.
MEPs adopted a non-binding report on the human rights and democracy clause in EU agreements.
Europa-Parlamentet har i årenes løb beskæftiget sig meget aktivt med menneskerettighedsklausulen og især fokuseret på overvågning og gennemførelse af klausulen samt på Parlamentets og civilsamfundets rolle.
It points out that the clause had now been introduced into more than 50 of the EU's international agreements.
Nu stiller EP en række konkrete forslag til forbedring af menneskerettighedsklausulen og dens anvendelse i praksis.
Ten years after it was first drafted, it is now time to evaluate how it has been implemented and how it could be improved.
EP har godkendt en initiativbetænkning af Vittorio AGNOLETTO (GUE/NGL, IT), hvori det går ind for en kritisk gennemgang af, hvordan menneskerettighedsklausulen gennemføres, og hvordan den kan forbedres, fra forhandlingsfasen og klausulens specifikke ordlyd til overvågningen og gennemførelsen, idet der tages hensyn til såvel positive som negative foranstaltninger.
The report notes that many sectoral agreements, such as those on textiles, agriculture and fisheries, as well as agreements with developed countries, still lack the clause.
I den forbindelse går EP ind for en mere åben procedure med en rolle til Parlamentet og civilsamfundet.
MEPs warn that Parliament is " no longer prepared to give its assent to new international agreements that do not contain a human rights and democracy clause ".
Det ønsker at anvende klausulen på alle sektorer og lande.
It points out that, on many occasions, the EU had not been able to respond adequately to serious and persistent violations of human rights and democratic principles.
Det peger på behovet for bedre overvågning med en styrket menneskerettighedsdimension og antyder, at EU's Agentur for Grundlæggende Rettigheder kan få en rolle i forbindelse med overvågning af aftaler med tredjelande.
The House concludes that the EU must draw up new procedures and new criteria for applying the human rights and democracy clause, which must apply without discrimination between States or between their levels of development.
EP mener, at klausulen bør baseres på gensidighed og udgøre et retsgrundlag, som gør det muligt for parterne at føre drøftelser og handle i fællesskab, under hensyntagen både til EU's og tredjelandets territorium.
The report also calls for the establishment of human rights subcommittees under EU-third country agreements, to be responsible for reviewing compliance with the clause, monitoring its application and implementation, and proposing actions to address democracy and human rights problems.
Den skal være et instrument, der går i begge retninger, og som gør EU og tredjelandet ansvarlig over for hinanden med hensyn til alle deres politikker vedrørende menneskerettigheder og grundlæggende frihedsrettigheder;
MEPs say that one of the factors which has compromised the application of the clause was its vague language, which did not spell out detailed procedures for ' positive ' and ' negative ' interventions in EU/third country cooperation - unlike the democracy clauses in the Cotonou Agreements with the ACP States which had been very effective.
I denne forbindelse understreger EP, at visse betingelser skal være opfyldt, før valg kan betragtes som demokratiske, frie og lige, herunder bl.a. overholdelse af de politiske og borgerlige rettigheder og af retten til ytrings- og informationsfrihed, lige adgang til offentlige medier og respekt for politisk pluralisme, således at vælgerne får en reel valgmulighed.
Parliament says if one of the governments concerned in the human right clause, the European Parliament or the national parliaments concerned or, in the case of ACP countries, the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly, calls for the human rights and democracy clause to be invoked, through the suspension of a bilateral agreement or the implementation of dialogue or other appropriate measures, the Association Council should automatically include that debate on its agenda.
Endelig foreslår EP at give klausulen en ny ordlyd under hensyntagen til følgende principper:
MEPs note that the European Parliament has formally expressed its view to that effect in several cases, but that the Association Council has simply ignored those requests.
Det skal klart fremgå, at parterne er forpligtet til at overholde de normer, der er et "væsentligt element" i aftalen.
In order to ensure a more coherent, effective and transparent approach to European human rights policy, a revision of the current wording is indispensable, says the Parliament.
Klausulen skal indeholde bestemmelser om en politisk dialog med inddragelse af parlamenterne og repræsentanter for civilsamfundet.
MEPs stress that, for elections to be considered democratic, free and fair, certain preconditions must be met, including, inter alia, respect for political and civic rights, respect for freedom of expression and information, equal access to the media and respect for political pluralism, so as to offer electors a real choice.
Den skal indeholde bestemmelser om obligatorisk revision af de passende foranstaltninger, som er truffet, en klausul om "suspension af suspensionen".
Lastly, MEPs wants Parliament to be involved to a much greater extent in drawing up the negotiating mandate for EU/third country agreements, and insists on the need for it to be a joint decision-maker with the Commission and the Council when it comes to initiating consultations, suspending an agreement or suspending any negative measures already imposed on a country.
Muhammed-tegninger: Parlamentsformand Borrell opfordrer til at stoppe volden og vende tilbage til dialog
Cartoons controversy: President Borrell calls for halt to violence and return to dialogue
Parlamentsformand Borrell opfordrer til dialog
EP President Josep Borrell calls for dialogue.
På plenarmødet i Strasbourg i næste uge vil MEP'er diskutere striden om offentliggørelsen af satiriske tegninger af den muslimske profet Muhammed og den efterfølgende voldelighed.
MEPs will discuss the controversy surrounding the publication of cartoons satirising the Muslim Prophet Muhammad and the ensuing violence during their plenary session in Strasbourg next week.
Sagen vil også blive drøftet i marts af Europa-Parlamentet og kolleger fra 10 middelhavslande bl.a. Libanon, Tunesien, Syrien og Marokko.
The events will also be discussed by the European Parliament and counterparts from 10 Mediterranean countries, including Lebanon, Tunisia, Syria and Morocco in March.
I en kommentar tirsdag sagde Parlamentsformand Josep Borrell, at "EU holder fast i de værdier, fællesskabet bygger på.
Commenting on the issue Tuesday, European Parliament President Josep Borrell said, "The European Union upholds the values on which it was founded.
Ytringsfrihed er en af disse værdier, men det skal foregå med respekt for andres religiøse overbevisning og kulturelle sensitivitet."
Freedom of expression is one of those values, but this must be within the boundaries of respect for the religious beliefs and cultural sensitivities of others."
Han bad om, at "volden hører op, og der bruges tid på dialog og samarbejde", og han understregede, at "dialog, samarbejde og fælles respekt er grundpillerne i vores alliance af civilisationer, og at det er den eneste måde at håndtere forskelligheder blandt de involverede parter".
He asked for "violence to cease and to allow time for dialogue and cooperation" and pointed out that "dialogue, cooperation and mutual respect are the pillars of our Alliance of Civilisations, and the only way to settle differences between those involved".
Diskussioner med kolleger fra middelhavslandene i marts
Discussions with Mediterranean Counterparts in March
Borrell sagde, at "ytringsfrihed skal administreres ansvarligt, særligt af de, der har et specifikt ansvar for at bevare dens værdi.
Mr Borrell said "freedom of expression must be exercised responsibly, especially by those who are specifically responsible for upholding its values.
Jeg forstår, at tegningerne for mange muslimer er en fornærmelse imod deres tro."
I understand that, for many Muslims, the cartoons that have been published are an insult to their beliefs."
Han fordømte dog samtidig volden og opfordringerne til angreb mod EU's borgere og ejendom.
But he condemned the use of violence and incitement to violence against the property and citizens of the EU.
Han fandt det ligeledes uacceptabelt, at offentliggørelsen af tegningerne er blevet udnyttet til at fremprovokere voldelige handlinger.
He also considered it unacceptable that the publication of the material concerned has been exploited to stir up violent responses.
Josep Borrell er desuden nuværende formand for den Parlamentariske Forsamling for Euro-Middelhavssamarbejdet (EMPA), som er et forum for MEP'er og kolleger fra 10 lande omkring Middelhavet (Algeriet, Marokko, Tunesien, Egypten, Israel, Jordan, Det Palæstinensiske Selvstyre, Libanon, Syrien og Tyrkiet).
Mr Borrell is also currently head of the Euro-Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly (EMPA), which brings together MEPs and their counterparts from 10 countries around the Mediterranean (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, the Palestinian Authority, Lebanon, Syria and Turkey).
Endelig fordømte den i stærke vendinger brug af vold overfor Europas diplomatiske repræsentationer og opfordrede til at vende tilbage til en stemning af fredelig og konstruktiv dialog.
It also strongly condemned the use of violence against European diplomatic representations and called for the return to a peaceful and constructive atmosphere of dialogue.
EMPA vil debattere hændelserne på et møde i Bruxelles den 26.–27 marts.
The EMPA will discuss the events during a meeting on 26-27 March in Brussels.

Servicedirektivet i fokus
The Services Directive - latest position in Parliament
EP fokuserer på servicedirektivet
The Services Directive - how will it impact the EU economy?
Umiddelbart forud for debatten og afstemningen om servicedirektivet har de to største politiske grupper i EP (PPE-DE og PSE) udarbejdet et "kompromis" om dele af det omstridte direktiv.
Ahead of the debate (Tuesday 14 February 2006 at 3pm) and the vote (Thursday 16 February at 10am), on the Services Directive, the two largest groups - the EPP-ED and PES have reached a "compromise" on parts of the directive.
De foreslår betydelige ændringer til den oprindelige tekst, men nogle af detaljerne er endnu ikke helt afklaret.
They propose far-reaching changes to the original text, although some details of the agreement have still to be spelt out.
På nuværende tidspunkt er det umuligt at sige, om dette "kompromis" vil overleve torsdagens afstemning.
At this stage, it is not possible to say if this compromise will hold for the vote on Thursday.
"Vi har fundet en tredje vej", sagde ordføreren, Evelyne GEBHARDT (PSE, DE) ved pressemødet i sidste uge, hvor kompromisforslaget blev fremlagt.
We have found a third path" , said rapporteur Evelyne Gebhardt (PSE, DE) at a press conference last week called to explain the compromise.
For den første skal den medlemsstat, hvor tjenesteydelsen leveres, sikre fri adgang til at udøve servicevirksomhed inden for sit område.
Firstly, the Member State into which the service is provided must ensure free access to and free exercise of a service activity within its territory.
For det andet opstiller kompromiset en række begrænsninger i de restriktioner, som en medlemsstat kan pålægge en tjenesteudbyder fra en anden medlemsstat.
Secondly, the proposed amendment sets out a list of requirements that the Member State may not impose on a service provider established in another Member State.
Man skal således ikke kunne pålægge en polsk tjenesteudbyder at åbne et kontor i Danmark, blot fordi den polske virksomhed i en periode vil levere sine tjenesteydelser på dansk område.
For example, it may not require a provider to open an office in the country where it plans to provide services temporarily, nor require it to register with a professional body or association in that country, nor ban it from using its own equipment or material.
Man skal heller ikke kunne pålægge tjenesteudbyderen at lade sig organisere i den nationale brancheorganisation eller professionelle sammenslutning.
Thirdly, the new text lists grounds on which the Member State is allowed to restrict the free provision of services on its territory (public policy, public security, social policy, consumer protection, environment and public health).
Desuden skal tjenesteudbyderen have lov til at benytte sine egne maskiner og materialer.
This is the part of the text which would appear to require clarification if the compromise is to achieve a clear majority at the plenary vote.
For det tredje opregner kompromisforslaget de begrundelser, som en medlemsstat kan henvise til for at begrænse adgangen til at levere tjenesteydelser på sit område (hensyn til den offentlige orden eller sikkerhed, socialpolitiske hensyn, forbrugerbeskyttelse samt beskyttelse af menneskers sundhed eller miljøet).
Lastly, the new text requires the Commission, five years after the directive enters into force, to assess how well the principle of free movement of services is working and to consider any need for harmonising legislation on the services covered by this directive.
Det er specielt denne del af forslaget, der nok ikke kommer gennem afstemningen i plenum uden sværdslag.
The new text no longer mentions at all the terms "country of origin" and "host country".
