Ændringer til dagsorden
In future waste batteries will have to be collected and recycled.
Martine Roure begrundede udsættelsen med, at Rådet endnu ikke er kommet med et klart svar omkring substansen i betænkningen.
Every year around a million workers in Europe, mainly in the medical world, suffer injuries from used surgical needles.
Derfor så hun det som mest hensigtsmæssigt at returnere betænkningen til Udvalget om Retlige og Indre Anliggender.
The consequences can be serious, including infections from HIV or hepatitis B or C. The EP Social Affairs Committee wants to improve existing EU legislation so as to give workers better protection.
308 mia. euro til regional- og strukturpolitik fra 2007 - 2013
MEPs approve €308bn Structural Funds 2007-13 package
En af de vigtigste målsætninger i EU er at udligne de økonomiske og sociale forskelle, der eksisterer indenfor Unionen.
Parliament gave the green-light to the Structural Funds package for 2007 to 2013 with the adoption of five separate reports.
Udvidelsen med 10 nye medlemslande i 2004 har gjort opgaven endnu større.
They define the objectives, the financial resources available and the criteria for their allocation in an enlarged EU.
For perioden 2007 - 2013 er der afsat 308 mia. euro til regional- og strukturpolitik, hvilket udgør 35,7% af EU's samlede budget.
Around €308 billion - or 35.7 per cent of the total EU budget - will now be available to spend, as scheduled, from 1 January 2007.
I betænkningen redegøres for de generelle bestemmelser for Den Europæiske Udviklingsfond (ERDF), Den Europæiske Socialfond og Samhørighedsfonden.
After negotiations with rapporteur Claudio FAVA (PES, IT) and the European Parliament, the Council has taken on board the main concerns of the Parliament, for the ERDF:
Delegationerne fra Parlamentet og Ministerrådet nåede til enighed om et rammebudget for regional- og strukturpolitik forud for Strasbourg samlingen.
On VAT, the Commission had proposed to render eligible non-recoverable VAT only in the case of the European Social Fund.
De fire betænkninger fastlægger de finansielle rammer og betingelserne for at modtage strukturfondsstøtte i det udvidede EU.
The European Council concluded that non-recoverable VAT would be eligible under the rules of the ERDF, ESF and the Cohesion Fund only for those Member States whose GDP does not exceed 85% of the average EU GDP.
Opprioritering af de miljømæssige aspekter ved strukturfondsstøtten, herunder indsættelse af en ny paragraf, der skal sikre at miljøspørgsmål altid indgår som et led i udbetalingen af støtten
The European Council proposed to provide for the eligibility of housing in the ERDF Regulation for Member States whose GDP does not exceed 85% of the average EU GDP.
Styrkelse af partnerskabsprincippet: Enhver organisation, der repræsenterer civilbefolkningen, miljømæssige partnere, NGO'er samt ligestillingsorganisationer bør kunne deltage strukturfondenes partnerskabsaftaler
The Council finally included in its common position a specific provision, taking into account amendments proposed by the European Parliament in its first reading, rendering eligible housing expenditure for the costs of social housing renovation aimed at saving energy and protecting the environment.
I forbindelse med økonomiske forhandlinger om budgettet for Samhørighedsfonden støttede Parlamentets ordfører Alfonso ANDRIA (ALDE, IT) Rådets forslag om en stigning i budgettet fra 18 til 61,59 mia. euro.
On the Cohesion Fund, Parliament and the rapporteur Alfonso ANDRIA (ALDE, IT) backed the increase from €18 billion (for the period 2000-2006) to €61.59 billion with the adoption of a report with 567 votes in favour 29 against and 36 abstentions.
Efter den store udvidelse af EU i 2004 er Samhørighedsfonden rettet mod de ti nye medlemslande såvel som Grækenland, Portugal og Spanien frem til slutningen af 2006.
Following the Union’s enlargement on 1 May 2004, the Cohesion Fund applies to the 10 new Member States until the end of 2006, as well as to the three Member States eligible at the end of the 2000-2006 period (Greece, Portugal and Spain).
Næste skridt
What next?
Betænkningernes vedtagelse er ensbetydende med, pengene fra fondene kan udbetales allerede fra den 1. januar 2007.
Following the adoption of the texts by plenary, the funds can be used from 1 January 2007.
Før pengene udbetales til medlemsstaterne vil Kommissionen - højst sandsynligt i slutningen af juli - opsætte nogle strategiske økonomiske retningslinier som Parlamentet vil stemme om til september.
Before the money can be finally allocated to the Member States, the Commission will draw up, most likely in late July, Community Strategic Guidelines, on which Parliament will vote (under the assent procedure) in September.
Mere miljøvenlig luftfart
Reducing the climate change impact of civil aviation
Flytrafikken vokser og vokser, og det vurderes, at europæisk luftfart sikrer EU's økonomi 4,1 mio. arbejdspladser.
International aviation is neither subject to Kyoto or other commitments nor to fuel tax or VAT.
Man kan dog desværre ikke se bort fra, at emissionerne fra luftfarten stiger tilsvarende hurtigt.
In a report adopted by 439 votes in favour to 74 against and 102 abstentions, MEPs propose the EU takes a leadership position in global aviation in order to reduce the climate change impact of aviation.
EP opfordrer til, at man fra europæisk niveau tager skridt for at begrænse udslippet af emissioner i atmosfæren.
Parliament advocates an aviation scheme as well as its inclusion in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS).
Luftfart er blevet en integreret del af den europæiske hverdag og imødekommer borgernes ønske om at tilbagelægge længere afstande hurtigere.
They also call on the Commission to propose arrangements for their worldwide introduction.
Caroline LUCAS fastslog under sin tale mandag, at udviklingen dog også har sat miljøspørgsmålet på dagsordenen.
Parliament says that a comprehensive package of measures is needed to address the impact of aviation on the climate, as well as applying the “polluter pays” principle.
Luftfartens samlede indvirkning på klimaet skønnes at være to til fire gange større end CO 2 -effekten.
The House emphasises the need for a method, which also properly reflects the sector's dynamic nature, and rewards past and future good performance.
EU har forpligtet sig til at reducere udslippet af emissioner i EU med 15-30 % senest i 2020 og 60-80 % senest i 2050.
MEPs ask that special attention be paid to the situation of the most isolated territories which are particularly dependent on air transport services, and especially to insular or outermost regions, where alternative solutions are limited, or do not exist.
I perioden 1990-2003 voksede emissionerne fra den internationale lufttrafik med 73 % svarende til en årlig stigning på 4,3 %.
On inclusion of aviation into the EU ETS
Fortsætter denne stigningstakt, vil de øgede emissioner fra luftfarten neutralisere mere end en fjerdedel af de nedskæringer, som EU's Kyoto-mål kræver senest i 2012.
Parliament recognises that emissions trading has the potential to play a role as part of a comprehensive package of measures to address the climate impact of aviation, provided it is appropriately designed.
LUCAS forslår i forlængelse heraf, at der indføres en ´grøn skat´ på alle indenrigsflyvninger og flyrejser indenfor EU.
MEPs stress that the environmental effectiveness of any emissions trading scheme will depend on it having sufficiently broad geographical scope; a rigorous cap; full auctioning of initial allocation; the technological level and early actions taken into account in the allocation; and addressing full climate impact.
Det er ifølge Parlamentet vigtigt at EU, som en hovedaktør i den internationale luftfart, udviser et moralsk lederskab.
Parliament proposes, however, the introduction of a separate dedicated scheme for aviation emissions, recognising that, due to the lack of binding commitments for international aviation emissions under the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) and the Kyoto Protocol, the aviation sector would be unable to actually sell into the ETS.
EU's luftfartspolitik som minimum omfatte målsætninger, der er i overensstemmelse med Kyoto-forpligtelsen om at reducere emissionerne med 8 % senest i 2010 i forhold til 1990 og EU's målsætning om en reduktion på 30 % i EU senest i 2020 i forhold til 1990.
The report stresses that, if aviation is to be eventually incorporated into the wider ETS, there should at least be a pilot phase of a separate scheme covering the period 2008-2012.
MEP'er: Brugte batterier skal indsamles og genanvendes
Batteries to be collected and recycled, nature protected
Et nyt EU direktiv, som Parlamentet tirsdag gav sin støtte til efter to års forhandlinger, skal sikre fælles regler i Europa fra 2008.
After two years of negotiation, MEPs approved a directive which will ensure that schemes for collecting spent portable batteries and accumulators are set up throughout Europe by 2008.
Målsætningen er at beskytte naturen mod de farlige indholdsstoffer i de mange tons af batterier som vi benytter.
Only six Member States currently have such schemes.
I fremtiden vil vores gamle batterier blive indsamlet og genbrugt.
Collected batteries will be recycled.
Der er blevet opsat strenge retningslinier for indholdet af kadmium og kviksølv i batterier, da disse substanser er særdeles skadelige for naturen.
Strict limits to the content of cadmium and mercury in batteries have also been fixed, as these substances are harmful to the environment and health.
Ifølge Johannes BLOKLAND (IND/DEM, NL) som udarbejdede Parlamentets betænkning, vil det nye direktiv betyde store fremskridt: "Parlamentet mener, at den enkelte forbruger skal have muligheden for at vælge bedre og længerevarende batterier.
" This is the sixth piece of legislation we have agreed under conciliation in this parliamentary term ", said Dagmar ROTH-BEHRENDT (PES, DE), who led the European Parliament delegation. "
Billige batterier er ikke nødvendigvis det bedste valg for miljøet, hvis de har en kortere levetid.
Once more Parliament has managed to improve the draft legislation a great deal.
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog ved førstebehandling en målsætning om at indsamle 50 % efter seks år og 60 % af de forseglede bærbare batterier efter ti år.
There was a constructive spirit of negotiation on both sides, in the Parliament and the Council.
Rådet ændrede dette til de mindre ambitiøse mål 25 % og 45 %.
This new directive will help consumers to consume more intelligently and producers to reduce pollution, such as mercury, cadmium and lead, from the products they sell ".
Målet er, at tilgængelige batteri- indsamlingsdepoter skal være til rådighed i forbrugernes lokalområder senest i år 2010.
Karl-Heinz FLORENZ (EPP-ED, DE), chair of Parliament's Environment Committee, pointed out that " there can be no recycling without collection.
Baggrund Hovedproblemet ved batterier og akkumulatorer er, at de indeholder tungmetallerne kviksølv, bly og cadmium.
Collection schemes and the requirement for distributors to take back waste batteries are the key points of this directive, in my view.
Kommissionens oprindelige forslag (KOM(2003)0723) beskriver klart de skadelige virkninger for miljø og sundhed af tungmetallerne kviksølv, bly og cadmium.
Another important point is the registration of producers using similar procedures in all Member States.
I Fællesskabets sjette miljøhandlingsprogram fra 2002 er formålet med direktivforslaget følgende:
In 2002 the collection rates of portable batteries in the six countries which have already set up schemes were: Belgium 59%, Sweden 55%, Austria 44%, Germany 39%, the Netherlands 32% and France 16%.
at begrænse bortskaffelse af udtjente batterier og akkumulatorer
Things will be much easier now for consumers: labels will have to indicate the real capacity of the batteries and accumulators they buy.
at begrænse mængden af farlige batterier og akkumulatorer
As of 2009, labels on all batteries and accumulators must show their real capacity ."
Kommissionen vedtog sit nye direktivforslag om batterier og akkumulatorer den 24. november 2003.
Thanks to Parliament, distributors will have to take back the spent portable batteries and accumulators at no cost to the consumer and regardless of when they were placed on the market.
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog sin holdning ved førstebehandling den 20. april 2004.
And they must inform consumers that this possibility exists.
indsamling, behandling, genvinding og bortskaffelse af batterier, der indeholder farlige stoffer
Parliament has sharply reduced the possible exemptions from the rules on collection and recycling that Member States wanted for small producers.
forbedring af batteriers og akkumulatorers miljøpræstationer
At Parliament's insistence, manufacturers will have to design appliances in such a way that spent batteries and accumulators can be easily removed.
Debat om det finske formandskabs prioriteringer
MEPs debate the priorities of the Finnish Presidency
Matti VANHANEN indledte onsdagens samling med en tale om det finske formandskabs prioriteringer for de kommende seks måneder.
With Finland taking up the six-month EU Presidency after Austria, MEPs debated the Presidency's priorities with Finnish Prime Minister Matti VANHANEN.
Han begyndte med at understrege formandskabets intention om et tæt samarbejde med Kommissionen og Parlamentet med det overordnende formål at styrke demokratiet indenfor rammerne af EU-samarbejdet.
A main goal of the Finnish Presidency will be "to turn the Union's gaze outwards and forwards", MEPs were told by Finnish Prime Minister Matti VANHANEN as he presented his country's work programme to the European Parliament on Wednesday.
I forhold til Forfatningstraktaten lovede Vanhanen, at man fra finsk side ville arbejde hårdt og fremtidsorienteret.
On Russia, relations " will not be restricted to trade and energy issues; the aim is a broad-based partnership with Russia based on our common European values and global interests ".
Til gengæld understregede han, at Finland ser positivt på fremtidige EU-udvidelser.
The political will of the Member States will be tested over police and criminal matters, where Finland wants to see qualified-majority voting and the Community method.
Vanhanen afsluttede af med at betone nødvendigheden af at styrke EU's konkurrencedygtighed på den internationale scene.
Mutual recognition of judicial cooperation, as in the successful example of the European arrest warrant, must also move ahead.
Kommissionen: Fra eftertanke til handling
European Commission President
Han opfordrede til, at man nu gik fra eftertanke til handling i den såkaldte ´tænkepause´.
"It is the time to move from the period of reflection to the period of engagement ".
Et stærkt og synligt politisk engagement var nødvendigt for at vise de europæiske borgere, at man har viljen til at skabe et bedre og mere demokratisk Europa.
On enlargement , President Barroso said that it had been one of the most successful policies of the EU, " an extraordinary achievement, Europe does not enlarge by default, but for the benefit of all, an enlarged Europe was a precondition for a powerful Europe ".
Barroso fremhævede, ligesom det finske formandskab, EU's udvidelsesstrategi som en af de mest succesrige politikker i Unionens historie.
Mr Barroso said that, in the autumn, the Commission would present its latest enlargement report which would be about the capacity of an enlarged Europe to function properly.
Han understregede dog også, at særligt Tyrkiet havde meget at leve op til, før EU-medlemskab kan komme på tale.
It was important, he said, to promote venture capital including for SMEs.
Han betegnede vejen ud af EU's institutionelle krise som formandskabets største udfordring og fremhævede, i forlængelse heraf, vigtigheden af kontinuitet og samarbejde frem mod det tyske formandskab.
He likened the successive Council presidencies to a chain, of which each part must be strong, and expressed confidence in Finland's ability to guide the Union's affairs.
Den 25. marts næste år skal EU nå til enighed om en fælles køreplan i forhold til Forfatningstraktaten - den såkaldte "Berlin-erklæring".
The EU plans to issue a joint declaration on 25 March 2007 to mark the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome.
Både medlemsstaterne og borgerne havde ifølge Schulz, ganske enkelt brug for Europa til at tackle fremtidens problemstillinger.
He was also glad to hear that Finland planned to ratify the Constitution, saying " we cannot solve our challenges with the set of tools we have ".
Han pegede på sikkerhedssamarbejdet under søjle 3, som et område der virkelig trænger til en saltvandsindsprøjtning.
He also voiced concern about the drift towards the right in politics in several European countries, saying governments which included " right-wing extremists and xenophobes " were now sitting in the European Council.
Graham WATSON (ALDE, UK) indledte med at rose formandskabet og betegnede Finland som et foregangsland for reformer og innovation.
For the ALDE group, Graham WATSON (UK) began by saying " Mr President, with your presidency's emphasis on productivity, accountability and transparency, Finlandia is music to liberal ears ".
Truslen fra den markedsorienterede globalisering, som der er blevet talt så meget om, skulle ifølge Watson netop løses gennem liberale og markedsorienterede reformer.
Mr Watson gave his group's backing to the priorities such as the market-driven programme, including completing the internal market, particularly in services and energy, and the portability of supplementary pensions.
Endelig opfordrede han det finske formandskab til at få sat gang i politi- og retssamarbejdet, der ifølge Watson i alt for lang tid havde siddet fast i Rådet.
Mr Watson urged the Finnish presidency to " promote European values, human rights and democracy, so essential to the development of our world ".
For Daniel Marc COHN-BENDIT fra De Grønne (DE) var den mest presserende problemstilling højrekræfternes fremgang i Europa, menneskerettigheder samt forholdet til Rusland.
On behalf of his group, Daniel COHN-BENDIT (Greens/EFA, DE) complained that the Finnish prime minister had " said everything we should do but not how we should do it ".
Han udtrykte stor bekymring over den politiske udvikling i Tjekkiet, Holland og Polen, og understregede nødvendigheden af respekt for Unionens grundlæggende værdier.
Referring to the " situation we have in Europe today ", he spoke of the rise of right-wing parties in Slovakia, Poland and the Netherlands, and wondered about the significance of this for " a Europe of values ".
Derudover kritiserede han EU for "at løbe efter Rusland" i stedet for at tage afstand fra den russiske regerings forhold til menneskerettigheder.
He too welcomed the priority given to the relationship with Russia which was, he said: "About more than energy, it is about geo-political stability".
Jens Peter BONDE (IND/DEM, DK) kritiserede Vanhanen for ikke at sætte Forfatningstraktaten til afstemning i Finland.
Ian HUDGHTON (Greens/EFA, UK) said that stateless nations like Scotland and Catalonia looked to Finland as a role model of an independent state in its one hundredth anniversary year.
Han opfordrede i forlængelse heraf det finske formandskab til at gøre kravet om traktat-folkeafstemninger gældende i samtlige medlemslande.
He did not believe the EU was engaging in a " military adventure", as one speaker had said, when it decided to send a mission to Congo.
Den hårfine balance mellem retssikkerhed og sikkerhed mod terror måtte ikke overskrides.
José Manuel BARROSO , responding to the debate for the European Commission, said that Europe is based on results and this would lead to greater support for Europe's values.
De grundlæggende frihedsrettigheder måtte, ifølge den liberale næstformand, ikke ofres i terrorkampens navn.
He called for the promotion of diversification of energy supply in the countries of origin, transit and in the EU.
CIA's påståede brug af europæisk territorium i forbindelse med transport af fanger var genstand for livlig debat i EP
MEPs debate alleged CIA illegal detention of prisoners
Betænkningens italienske forfatter Giovanni Claudio Fava indledte debatten med at understrege, at Parlamentets socialdemokratiske gruppe tager kampen mod terrorisme meget seriøst, men at det samtidig er en demokratisk forpligtigelse at beskytte de universelle menneskerettigheder.
Introducing the debate on the temporary committee's interim report, rapporteur Giovanni Claudio FAVA (PES, IT) told the House that it was being asked to contribute to establishing the truth about abuses committed in the name of the fight against terrorism.
Paula LEHTOMÄKI roste på Rådets vegne interim-betænkningen, som hun så som et vigtigt bidrag til diskussionen om, på hvilke præmisser kampen mod terrorisme skal føres.
Speaking for the Presidency of the Council, Finland's Minister for Foreign Trade and Development, Paula LEHTOMÄKI said it was important that the European Parliament and the Council of Europe had taken the initiative to investigate these issues.
Hun var enig med Fava i, at kampen mod terror skal føres i overensstemmelse med international ret, og at tortur og anden umenneskelig behandling naturligvis ikke kan tolereres.
“ Fundamental rights in Europe and actions to combat terrorism cannot be in conflict with each other .”
Hun slog dog også fast, at Unionen ikke har direkte kompetence på dette område.
She said the treaties did not give the EU an power to deal with these issues, since the monitoring of intelligence services was a matter for the Member States.
Men dette var dog ikke ensbetydende med passivitet fra medlemsstaternes side.
Nevertheless, she said the Council had not been passive, pointing to debates in November 2005 and a letter written by the then UK Presidency to US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice.
Tværtimod havde EU's udenrigsministre diskuteret emnet flere gange i Ministerrådet og anmodet USA om at videregive yderligere oplysninger i sagen.
Dr Rice had made a detailed statement, saying that the US respected international agreements and the sovereignty of other countries – and did not transport people to countries where they would be tortured.
Endvidere havde Rådet flere gange opfordret USA til at lukke Guantanamo-basen.
The EU had called for the closure of the Guantanamo Bay detention centre, and had welcomed President Bush's comment that he was willing to close it.
Ifølge den konservative ordfører var betænkningens største problem, at den ikke er baseret på fyldestgørende beviser, da Parlamentet ikke har haft direkte adgang til de nationale efterretningstjenesters dokumenter.
On behalf of the Socialist group, Wolfgang KREISSL-DÖRFLER (DE) argued that " the fight against terrorism should not be waged using the same weapons as the terrorists" and that "the end does not justify the means ". "
Han beskrev afslutningsvis betænkningen som meget skuffende.
He added " If there is suspicion of someone being a terrorist, you have to subject them to the rule of law. "
Dörfler afviste de konservatives kritik af PSE som værende anti-amerikanske i denne sag; USA måtte bare som god ven og alliancepartner svare på hvad der er sket, og hvad der ikke er sket.
More than half the detainees at Guantanamo Bay had been abducted in Afghanistan, he said, which showed that NATO and European countries had been used as staging posts.
Han opfordrede de relevante ministre fra medlemsstaterne til at møde op i udvalget og deltage i udredningen af sagen.
He said statements by John Bellinger and Condoleeza Rice showed that, “ European governments were complicit in CIA activities in Eu rope.”
Hun understregede, at det ikke er acceptabelt, at man forfølger folk alene på baggrund af en mistanke om at de er terrorister.
He spoke of the gap of interpretation between Europe, which wanted to treat terrorists as criminals to be dealt with in the ordinary courts, while the Americans act more in line with the laws of war, which I think is more appropriate, but it does create a legal vacuum.
Han understregede, at De Grønne aldrig ville kunne acceptere tortur og anden umenneskelig behandling på europæisk territorium.
He said the process was driven by political and propaganda motives, by socialists and liberals who would take any opportunity to attack the US and its allies.
