Giusto CATANIA (GUE/NGL, IT) udtrykte stor foragt for disse (påståede) fangetransporter, som var en helt forkert fortolkning af kampen mod terrorisme.
Gerard BATTEN (IND/DEM, UK) said that it was entirely predictable that the report asked for greater powers for the EU such as the harmonisation and sharing of intelligence in the EU.
Han pointerede, at USA's udenrigsminister, Condoleezza Rice, havde indrømmet at denne transport var forgået i overensstemmelse med de nationale myndigheder i Europa.
Shannon airport had been the loser in this matter, as the US authorities had now decided not to use it for refuelling purposes, costing the airport €10 million in lost revenue.
Konrad SZYMAŃSKI (UEN, PL) mente derimod, at USA havde ret til at fortolke torturkonventionen på deres egen måde - uden europæisk indblanding.
People that had written to me, he said, after the London bombings were not " anti-American " but wanted to ensure that this would not happen again.
Han mente, at der simpelthen var behov for at indføre nogle nye bestemmelser i international lovgivning, der i bedre omfang tog højde for den nye terrortrussel.
While some excesses were inevitable in such a vast enterprise as America's war on terror, he said, " there was not systematic US policy of sending people to be tortured in third countries or to secret camps in Poland ."
Han opfordrede afslutningsvis til, at europæerne skruede ned for den voksende anti-amerikanisme.
He said there was a vast black hole in international law when it came to dealing with terrorism, which could not be filled by " sticking to the comfortable old ways ."
Mirosław Mariusz PIOTROWSKI (IND/DEM, PL) mente, at det midlertidige udvalg var fuldstændigt nyttesløst, og at interim-betænkningen alene indeholdt informationer, som enhver person kunne læse sig til i offentligt tilgængelige aviser.
He added that the immediate closure of Guantanamo Bay would not be helpful, as many of the inmates posed a real risk to the security of EU states, and they could not be deported to their home countries as they might be tortured or executed.
Han kritiserede PSE og ALDE for at bruge udvalget til at promovere sig selv og opfordrede afslutningsvis til, at udvalget straks bliver nedlagt.
It was not anti-American to criticise extraordinary rendition or to want to know more, especially if European countries were involved, he said.
EP: CIA "direkte ansvarlig" i visse tilfælde for ulovlige aktiviteter i Europa
CIA "directly responsible" in some cases for illegal activities in Europe , says Parliament
Betænkningen kritiserer også visse medlemsstaters involvering og medskyldighed.
The report also criticises the involvement and complicity by certain EU States.
MEP'er har givet det midlertidige udvalg grønt lys til at fortsætte dets arbejde for yderligere seks måneder.
MEPs have also given the responsible Temporary Committee the green light to continue its work for another six months.
Betænkningen blev vedtaget med 389 stemmer for, 137 imod mens 55 undlod at stemme.
The report was adopted by 389 votes in favour, 137 against with 55 abstentions.
"Det Midlertidige Udvalg om CIA's Påståede Brug af Europæiske Lande ved Transport og Ulovlig Tilbageholdelse af Fanger" blev oprettet på baggrund af rygterne om hemmelige CIA-fængsler i Østeuropa tilbage i november 2005.
Likewise, the EP " condemns " the 2003 abduction of German national Khaled El-Masri by the CIA and " deplores the reluctance of [the FYROM authorities] to confirm that El-Masri was in Skopje and was probably being held there before his rendition to Afghanistan by CIA agents. "
Europa-Parlamentet besluttede formelt at indlede en "parlamentarisk undersøgelse" af begivenhederne den 18. januar 2006 i Strasbourg.
Measures allegedly taken by the FYROM government to investigate the matter, the Parliament points out, were "inadequate."
I den anledning blev det midlertidige udvalg om CIA's aktiviteter i Europa oprettet.
In several EU countries, reads the report, rules governing the activities of secret services seem " inadequate ".
Ifølge mandatet skulle udvalget efter seks måneders undersøgelser præsentere en foreløbig betænkning.
As members point out, activities of foreign secret services on Member States' territory should be governed by more effective controls; to that effect, rules of cooperation should be established at EU level.
Udvalget udpegede tilbage i januar, Giovanni Claudio FAVA (PSE, IT), som ordfører.
Current European legislation, MEPs conclude, is " totally inadequate ".
Det er denne betænkning, som Parlamentet i dag gav sin støtte til.
The Parliament adds, however, that the committee will focus more closely on this subject in the months to come (AM 19).
I går var spørgsmålet om CIA's fangetransporter i Europa genstand for en livlig debat i Parlamentet (se link).
MEPs again call for the closure of the prison at Guantanamo, asking Member States to " take a proactive role " in finding a solution for the detainees.

EP ønsker bedre koordinering af EU's immigrationspolitik
Immigration procedures and the integration of immigrants.
MEP'er opfordrer endvidere til aktiv informationsudveksling på politisk plan.
MEPs adopted two non-binding reports on asylum and immigration.
Det er ifølge ordføreren ligeledes vigtigt, at alle medlemsstater oplyser deres nationale lovgivningers aktuelle stade.
The whole topic is of special importance to Spain because of its decision last year to regularise immigrants without consulting the other Member States of the Union, who could be affected by resulting migratory flows.
Disse oplysninger vil fungere som en slags databank.
Integration of immigrants
Hvis en national foranstaltning ikke er blevet meddelt inden for en acceptabel frist, kan en anden medlemsstat eller Kommissionen anmode den pågældende medlemsstat om oplysningerne.
In a second report by Stavros LAMBRINIDIS (PES, EL) on strategies and means for the integration of immigrants in the European Union come in response to the Commission's communication "A Common Agenda for Integration".
Da Europa-Parlamentet er en vigtig politisk aktør, skal dette også inddrages i proceduren.
The House also urges the Council to give co-decision powers to the Parliament in this field.
Hvordan stemmer MEP'erne?
How do MEPs vote?
Håndsoprækning i Parlamentet : MEP'erne stemmer Hundrede hænder ryger op, derefter ned igen.
Rule of Thumb: MEPs indicate their approval or rejection Hundreds of hands go up, then back down.
Fingre trykker på knapper og slipper igen.
Fingers press and then release buttons.
Nogle tommelfingre vender op, andre ned.
Some thumbs turn up and others turn down.
Du kan her læse om, hvordan det hele hænger sammen.
And here's the low down on what it all means.
Hvis man skal tro på statistikkerne, har MEP'erne i den seneste valgperiode (2004 - 2009) stemt mere end 25.467 gange.
If we believe the statistics, since the start of their electoral term in July 2004, MEPs have voted more than 25,000 times .
Afstemninger i Europa-Parlamentet sker som regel ved håndsoprækning.
European Parliament voting is mainly via a show of hands, like the Greek assembly under Pericles.
Mødeformanden kaster så blikket ud over forsamlingen og skønner hvor flertallet ligger.
The session president casts an eye over the raised hands and judges where the majority lies, without counting the exact number for or against.
Når der bare kræves et simpelt flertal (et flertal af de tilstedeværende medlemmer), er det sædvanligvis hurtigt og nemt.
When a simple majority is required (a majority of the members present) it is generally quick and simple.
Men nogen gange, når afstemningen er tæt, sker det, at MEP'er rækker hænderne i vejret og råber "check, check!" og således rejser tvivl om vurderingen.
But sometimes the vote is tight and the decision of the president might be contested by MEPs who raise their hands and call out "check, check!"
Formanden kan da beslutte af gentage afstemningen ved hjælp af det elektroniske system.
Also,if the President decides that the result is doubtful, the President may decide to hold the vote again using the electronic system and, if the latter is not working, by sitting and standing.
Så skal MEP'erne i stedet trykke på en knap (for, imod eller undlade at stemme) i en lille boks på deres bord.
MEPs no longer raise their hands, instead they press a button (for, against or abstaining) in the special box on their desks.
Hvert MEP skal identificere sig overfor boksen med et elektronisk ID-kort.
Each MEP must identify themselves by sliding an electronic card into the box.
Hvem stemte for og hvem imod?
Who voted for and who voted against?
Efter en elektronisk afstemning, bliver det præcise afstemningsresultat vist på en skærm i lokalet.
With an electronic vote, the exact voting figures are displayed on screens in the room.
Systemet er praktisk, når der rejses tvivl om en afstemning eller ved afstemninger, hvor der skal være absolut flertal (halvdelen plus én af det totale medlemstal).
This system is useful for votes which are contested and absolute majority voting (half plus one of the total number of members).
Når der kræves kvalificeret flertal (kriteriet kan på forhånd være fastsat til f.eks. to tredjedele af stemmerne), kan der ikke dispenseres fra den elektroniske afstemning.
It is indispensable for qualified majority voting (a specific majority, for example, two thirds of votes).
Den slags flertal afhænger af beslutningens art og emnet, der er til afstemning.
The type of majority depends on the kind of decision and the subject of the vote.
Selv ved elektronisk afstemning bevares anonymiteten, og det er ikke muligt at få at vide, hvordan hver enkelt har stemt.
Even with electronic voting, anonymity is preserved and it isn't possible to know how each MEP voted.
Hver MEP's stemme registreres kun i minutterne omkring en afstemning.
The vote of each MEP is only registered in the minutes when there is a roll-call ballot.
Tidligere skete afstemningerne ved navneopråb, hvor formanden tiltalte hver enkelt medlem ved navn for at bede om en stemme.
The term comes from the era when the president called on each deputy by name to give their vote.
Man kan forestille sig, hvor lang tid dette ville tage med 736 MEP'er.
You can imagine how long this system of voting would take with 736 MEPs.
Den elektroniske afstemningsmetode har medført, at vi undgår endeløse møder.
Electronic voting allows us to avoid never-ending sessions.
MEP'erne kan også stemme hemmeligt ved at lægge deres stemmeseddel i en stemmeurne.
MEPs may also vote via a secret ballot, by placing their voting paper into a ballot box.
Denne type afstemning er i princippet reserveret til nomineringer.
In principle, this type of vote is reserved for nominations.
Men alle afstemninger kan afholdes som hemmelige, hvis en femtedel af MEP'erne ønsker det.
But all votes may be conducted in secret if at least one-fifth of the MEPs so request.
Optælling af stemmer foretages af to til seks stemmeoptællere, der vælges ved lodtrækning blandt medlemmerne.
The count of ballots is made by two to six tellers chosen by lot from the MEPs.
Hvordan finder MEP'erne ud af det hele?
How do the MEPs work it all out?
Grupperne udnævner også "ordførere", der sammenskriver rapporter om alle de vigtige sager.
They also nominate "rapporteurs" who draw up reports on all the important dossiers.
Koordinatorerne og rapportørerne benytter deres indsigt til at forberede en stemmeliste til gruppemedlemmerne, hvorpå de viser, hvorledes man stemmer i linie med partipolitikken.
The coordinators and rapporteurs draw on their knowledge of the subjects to prepare up a voting list, for members of their party, on which they indicate which way to vote in line with party policy.
Under plenarmødet kan man se dem vende tommelfingrene op eller ned til de forskellige dele af den lovgivning, der stemmes om.
During the plenary, you can see them giving the thumbs up or thumbs down to the various pieces of legislation being voted on - just like Jean-Léon Gérôme's "Pollice verso" painting.
Men til syvende og sidst er det op til hvert medlem, om man ønsker at følge gruppens anbefaling.
But, at the end of the day, it is up to each member to decide whether or not to follow the suggestion of the group.

Beskyttelse af sundhedspersonale mod infektioner
Protecting workers against the risk of infection from contaminated needles
Hvert år beskadiges mange tusinde ansatte i den europæiske sundhedssektor ved nålestik fra brugte hospitalskanyler.
Every year around a million workers in Europe, mainly in the medical world, suffer injuries from used surgical needles.
Torsdag blev Stephen HUGHES´ (PSE, UK) betænkning om emnet vedtaget med stort flertal (465 for, 18 imod, mens 13 undlod at stemme).
MEPs adopted a report on this subject with 465 votes in favour, 18 against and 13 abstentions.
I betænkningen fastslås det, at antallet af uheld kan nedsættes ved brug af mere sikre nåle samt regelmæssig træning af sundhedspersonalet.
In a report by Stephen Hughes (PES, UK), MEPs say studies have shown that the use of safer needles together with regular training and organisational measures can help reduce the number of injuries.
EP opfordrer Kommissionen til at udvikle fælles EU-standarder for rapportering og registrering af nålestiksskader.
It therefore calls on the Commission to add various new provisions to one of the directives intended to improve accident prevention and the protection of workers (Directive 2000/54/EC on the protection of workers from risks related to exposure to biological agents at work).
Finske MEP'er præsenterer det finske EU-formandskab
Finnish MEPs on Finland's EU Presidency
Finland's logo for det finske formandskab
Finland's logo for the 2006 Presidency
Den 1. juli overtager Finland fra Østrig det skiftende halvårlige formandskab for EU.
On 1 July Finland will take over the rotating six-month Presidency of the EU from Austria.
Det bliver Finlands anden tur ved roret i landets 11 årige EU-medlemskab.
This will be Finland's second turn at the helm in its 11-year EU membership.
Vi har spurgt finske MEP'er om formålet og hensigterne med Finlands formandskab og om deres forventninger til de kommende måneder.
We asked Finnish MEPs about the aims and objectives of Finland's Presidency, as well as their expectations for the coming months.
"I 1999 var klimaet i EU-debatten god.
"In 1999 the climate of the EU debate was good.
Nu ulmer der følelser imod EU i de fleste medlemslande - inklusive Finland."
Now anti-EU feeling is rearing its head in most Member States, including Finland."
Henrik Lax (ALDE) er enig: "Det er ikke let at finde lighedspunkter mellem Narva, London og De Kanariske Øer.
Henrik Lax (Liberal, ALDE) agreed "It's not easy to find things in common for Narva, London and the Canary Islands.
Derfor bliver dette formandskab vanskeligere end det foregående.
That is why this Presidency will be more difficult than the previous one.
Vi kommer til på et tidspunkt hvor der er brug for et nyt greb om Europa."
The Finnish Presidency comes at a time when a new grip is needed in Europe."
Socialisten Riitta Myller tror imidlertid, at det finske formandskab vil levere varen.
But Socialist Riitta Myller thinks the Finnish Presidency will deliver.
"Der er forventninger og tillid til at finnerne vil skabe fremdrift i sagerne.
"Finns are expected and trusted to bring issues forward.
Den almindelige opfattelse er, at vi ikke taler så meget men overholder vores løfter."
The general assumption is that we don't talk much, but do what we promise to do."
Ikke alle er lige positive.
Not everyone is quite so positive .
Esko Seppänen (GUE/NGL) tror, at regeringen vil videreføre sin føderalistiske linie over for den finske offentlighed.
Esko Seppänen (European United Left, GUE) thinks that the government will continue its federalist line in the face of public opinion.
"Kun 22% af befolkningen støtter regeringens beslutning om at ratificere den afviste EU-traktat i det finske parlament."
"Only 22% of citizens support the government's decision to ratify the rejected EU Constitution in the Finnish Parliament."
Europa-Parlamentet vil spille en større rolle under dette formandskab.
The European Parliament will have a bigger role this time around.
"I 1999 var Amsterdam-traktaten lige trådt i kraft.
"In 1999 the Amsterdam Treaty had just entered into force.
Det var op til Finland at bane vejen for proceduren for fællesbeslutninger, dette omfattede også Europa-Parlamentets øgede rolle," siger Stubb.
It was up to Finland to pioneer the extension of the co-decision procedure, including the enhanced role of the EP," Stubb said.
"Nu er Parlamentet meget stærkere, og det afspejler sig også i Finlands forberedelser."
"Now the Parliament is much stronger, which is reflected in the preparations by Finland."
Med hensyn til hvilke konkrete tiltag man forventer, håber Satu Hassi (Verts/ALE), at Finland fortsat vil øge åbenheden og offentliggøre mest muligt.
Turning to what concrete action is expected, Satu Hassi (Greens/EFA) hopes Finland will continue to increase openness and make public everything it can.
"Finland bør tage affære både omkring beskyttelsen af det baltiske hav imod udledning fra landbruget og i beskyttelsen af klimaet, eftersom Kyoto-aftalen ophører i 2012."
"Finland should take action both on protecting the Baltic Sea from agriculture emissions and on climate protection, as the Kyoto agreement comes to an end in 2012."
Riitta Myller tilføjer: "Energi vil helt sikkert komme på dagsordenen.
Ms Myller added, "Energy will surely be on the agenda.
Vi skal styrke det langsigtede perspektiv samtidig med, at vi øger effektivitet og forskning og anvendelsen af fornyelige kilder".
We should strengthen the long-term perspective together with enhancing energy efficiency and research and the use of renewables."
Imidlertid forventer hun, at fokus vil ligge på energisamarbejdet med Rusland.
However, she expects the focus to be on energy co-operation with Russia .
"Kemikaliedirektivet REACH vil helt sikkert blive den vigtigste enkeltsag på lovgivningsområdet", siger hun.
"REACH (the EU-wide Chemicals directive) will certainly be the most important single piece of legislation," she said.
Finland har udtalt, at dets prioriteter udover Europas fremtid omfatter konkurrenceevne, eksterne relationer, styrkelse af friheds-, sikkerheds- og retfærdighedsaspektet og gennemsigtighed og effektivitet i beslutningsprocesserne.
As well as the future of Europe, Finland has said its priorities include "competitiveness, external relations, strengthening the area of freedom, security and justice and transparency and efficiency in decision-making."
Premierminister Matti Vanhanen vil præsentere formandskabets program for Europa-Parlamentet den 5. juli under plenarmødet i Strasbourg.
Finnish Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen will present the Presidency programme to the European Parliament on 5 July during the Strasbourg Plenary.

Større trafiksikkerhed i EU
Summer motoring - keeping Europe's roads safer
Nye forholdsregler kan nedbringe dødsulykker Hver sommer bliver tusindvis af feriepassagerer dræbt på de europæiske motorveje.
Danger ahead; new measures could reduce fatalities There are many reasons for taking the car on holiday - practicality, fear of flying or the feeling of independence it gives.
Sidste år var dødstallet oppe på 39.000, og trafikken er stadig den hyppigste dødsårsag for børn, unge og voksne i Europa.
Last year 39,000 people were killed in road accidents, which continue to be the most frequent cause of death for children, adolescents and young adults in Europe.
Men antallet af trafikulykker er heldigvis faldende.
The official EU aim is to half the number of road deaths between 2001 and 2010.
Sidste år var antallet af dødsulykker 28 % lavere end i 2001.
The figures for last year - though tragic - show a fall of 28% compared to 2001 when the road safety campaign began.
Frankrig, der har oplevet et fald på 48 %, er det land, som har været bedst til at øge trafiksikkerheden.
The countries that did best in improving road safety were France (down 48%), Portugal (down 47%) and Spain with a reduction of 44%.
Fra 2013 vil alle nye kørekort, der udstedes i EU være i samme kreditkortformat og ligne hinanden.
As from 2013, all newly issued or replacement driving licenses will be in a single EU-wide credit card format.
De mere end 110 forskellige kørekortmodeller, som findes nu, gør det sværere for myndighederne at kontrollere, og det nye kort vil også give det enkelte lands myndigheder mulighed for at indsætte en mikrochip, hvorpå der kan lagres oplysninger.
The new format will replace the more than 110 existing different models in the Member States.
For at lette dette samarbejde skal der oprettes et EU-kørekortnetværk, som skal gøre det lettere at udveksle oplysninger.
The legislation was approved by MEPs at the end of 2006.
Bedre veje i hele Europa Sidste år støttede MEP'erne et direktiv, som skal fremme sikkerheden på de europæiske veje.
Better roads across Europe
Der er stor forskel på sikkerhedsstandarderne på det europæiske vejnet, og fra medlemsland til medlemsland er der store forskelle.
Last year MEPs backed a directive promoting EU-wide standards on road infrastructure management.
Målet med de nye regler er at skabe fælles EU standarder for forvaltning af vejinfrastrukturen, særligt på de færdselsårer, der indgår i det transeuropæiske netværk.
Currently, safety standards for roads and road design maintenance differ greatly between the Member States.
For at højne sikkerhedsstandarderne lægger direktivet op til, at sikkerhedsaspekterne skal tænkes mere ind, når der bliver bygget nye veje, og at der skal foretages kontroller af sikkerheden i det eksisterende vejnet.
Under the new directive EU members must ensure that signs are in place to warn road users of repair work.
Det vil blandt andet indebære, at man skal finde ud af, hvor de farlige strækninger er, og at der skal gøres mere ud af at bruge 'intelligente' vejskilte og transportsystemer for at kunne forebygge ulykker.
It also covers safe parking areas, crash barriers, road safety impact assessments and safety inspections.
Bedre beskyttelse for fodgængere og cyklister
Better protection for pedestrians and cyclists
Hvert år bliver omkring 8000 fodgængere og cyklister dræbt i trafikken i EU, og 300.000 kommer til skade.
Parliament also decided to back plans to reduce the number of pedestrians and cyclists injured on Europe's roads by introducing tougher standards on the safety of motor vehicles, for example through compulsory introduction of brake-assist systems and frontal protection systems.
MEP´erne støttede sidste år en forordning, som skal erstatte de eksisterende direktiver på området.
Each year 8,000 pedestrians and cyclists are killed and 300,000 injured across the EU.
Målet er at udnytte den nyeste teknologi til at gøre biler mere sikre og effektive gennem anordninger såsom ESC (Electronic Stability Control).
The objective is to harness the latest technology to make cars safer and more efficient through devices such as the ESC (Electronic Stability Control).
Stopper for udenlandske fartsynderes immunitet
End to immunity for driving offences abroad
I dag er det blot en ganske lille procentdel af Europas udenlandske fartsyndere, som ender med at betale bøder.
Speeding, drink-driving, not wearing a seat belt and failing to stop at a red light should all be covered by the proposal.
