Er Europa stadig ved en korsvej?
Is Europe still at a crossroads?
Europa-Parlamentet bliver ved med at bidrage til debatten om Den Europæiske Unions fremtid.
In continuing to contribute to the debate on the future of the EU, MEPs began a series of discussions with Heads of EU governments, the first meeting of which was on 31 May 2006 with Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt, who recently laid out his ideas for the future of Europe in a book entitled "The United States of Europe."
Det første møde var med den belgiske premierminister, Guy Verhofstadt, som for nylig udgav bogen "Europas Forenede Stater".
At the same time, the Union must be deepened further, and European integration must continue unabated."
Belgiens premierminister, Guy Verhofstadt, indledte onsdagens europapolitiske debat i EP med en omfattende tale om hans visioner for Europas fremtid.
The "period of reflection" following the rejections of the constitution in referendums in France and the Netherlands had been a period of "deafening silence," he said.
Han roste EP for at have taget initiativ til de parlamentariske debatarrangementer, og opfordrede derefter alle politiske kræfter til at få Europa tilbage på sporet.
Until Europe embarks on the road towards a real federation where the unanimity rule is scrapped, or at least limited to the strict minimum, it will continue to be powerless to react rapidly and decisively to new challenges."
Udvidelse som stabiliseringsinstrument i egen interesse
On external affairs, he said that only a European defence approach could help the EU move towards a real common foreign policy.
Derefter slog han til lyd for at stoppe den negative tone, der har omgæret EU's udvidelsesdebat.
At the same time he said there should be progress within the existing treaties to strengthen socio-economic governance, at least for the eurozone.
Han afviste argumentet om, at integration i dybden er nødvendig, før nye udvidelser kan finde sted.
This had been recognised by the EPP congress in 2001, which had called for a new, constitutional treaty.
Integration i både dybden og bredden burde, ifølge Verhofstadt, finde sted samtidig.
"Perhaps that was too ambitious a term for many people, we need to consider that reasonably," he said.
Han afsluttede udvidelsesspørgsmålet med at fastslå, at et åbent og stærkt integreret Europa er den bedste garanti for varig fred i Europa.
What was now needed was for governments to start presenting Europe to their citizens in a realistic way, covering the good as well as the bad: the enlargement of 2004 and the successful introduction of the euro were two examples of the former.
EU's potentiale som stormagt på den internationale scene
He spoke of a poll in the Netherlands showing that most people wanted "more Europe" to tackle issues such as internal security, immigration and asylum.
Verhofstadt pointerede, at det var på tide at komme videre efter de to nej'er ved folkeafstemningerne i Frankrig og Holland og tænke stort og visionært.
He welcomed Mr Verhofstadt's call for ratification of the Treaty to continue and called on Poland to follow the example of Estonia in this regard.
Han så en ´flerpolet´ verden under udvikling, hvor særligt Kina og Indien i fremtiden ville trænge sig på som vigtige konkurrenter på den verdenspolitiske scene.
He said he had a deep belief in subsidiarity, with the local level doing what it does best, but also the EU dealing with matters for which nation states had grown too small.
Det var meget centralt for premierministeren at understrege, at EU ikke var skyld i den globalisering, som bekymrer så mange europæere, men at en stærk Politisk Union tværtimod er svaret på globaliseringen.
Speaking for the Socialist Group, Martin SCHULZ (PES, DE) said Mr Verhofstadt had made a courageous speech, especially in criticising the European Council.
Spørgsmålet var ikke om EU skal udvikle sig til en føderal sammenslutning, men hvornår det skal ske.
The crisis of Europe was a crisis for all the Heads of State or Government, he said, except for Juncker and Verhofstadt: they were the only ones continuing to act as they had promised to do.
Stærkere EU-institutioner og økonomiske reformer
"That is a mandate for the EU to deliver reforms to meet the challenges of energy security, climate change, migration and organised crime."
Guy Verhofstadt slog på det institutionelle plan til lyd for dannelsen af en europæisk føderation, hvor enstemmighedsregler og nationale særinteresser ikke skulle være i stand til konstant at blokere for vedtagelsen af lovgivning i fællesskabets interesse.
Until Member State governments explained to their people what they do together in Brussels and until the EU has the funding and legal powers to make the difference, the result would be stalemate, based on the unanimity rule, he said.
Både Europa-Parlamentets og Kommissionens indflydelse burde ifølge Verhofstadt styrkes.
The ratification of the Constitution in Estonia showed the Treaty was far from dead, he said.
Derudover så han moderniseringen af den europæiske økonomi, som disse års største udfordring.
"We have the people of Europe behind us as they recognise that population growth, migration, climate change and crime cannot be dealt with on the basis of nation states founded on the 18th century model of tribal power."
Et fælles europæisk forsvar
Nor can it have a growth that is based on a waste of resources.
Også på det udenrigspolitiske område var der højt til loftet.
Francis WURTZ (GUE/NGL, FR) did not agree with many of the points raised.
Han understregede, at et sådan forsvar ikke skulle ses som en konkurrent til NATO, men tværtimod som en god og loyal samarbejdspartner, der kunne aflaste NATO.
He said that the social and political ideas needed to be changed in order for the European Dream to continue.
Han fremhævede EU's indsats på Balkan som et strålende eksempel på, hvad EU kan udrette på det udenrigspolitiske område så længe den politiske vilje er til stede.
He added that the Prime Minister's speech incorporated the basis of national interest and democracy, by disregarding the failures of the constitution.
PPE: "Vi skal have den positive tone tilbage "
He concluded, "What part of no don't you get?"
Han mente, at det nu var vigtigt, at de nationale politikere genfandt den positive tone i EU - debatten og undlod konstant at give EU skylden i stagnationsperioder.
He said that politicians are not willing to listen to their people and that the constitution had not been ratified in Belgium either.
Udvidelsen med de 10 nye medlemslande skulle, ifølge Poettering, ikke ses som ekspansion fra EU's side, men som udtryk for EU's demokratiske tiltrækningskraft.
We may feel it is too quick or slow, but history has shown what happens when we are divided, just looking at our own interests: Europe in crisis, with a permanent civil war."
Andre statsoverhoveder bør vise samme mod
He insisted that he said consistently the same things in the European Council as in Parliament.
Martin Schulz (PSE,DE) roste Verhofstadt for en meget modig tale, og opfordrede andre statsoverhoveder til at vise samme mod, så Europa atter kunne blive bragt tilbage på rette spor.
The declaration (regarding ratification) should be respected.
Han mindede om, at over halvdelen af medlemslandene allerede har ratificeret Forfatningstraktaten, og at det ville være meget udemokratisk blot at smide den i papirkurven.
It was not a matter of ignoring the people of France and the Netherlands, which is why he had proposed a second track towards concrete political matters, above all socio-economic governance, without which monetary union was "absurd" in the long run.
Den folkelige debat om Europas fremtid burde intensiveres, så man kunne finde årsagerne til, at franskmændene og hollænderne stemte nej.
The next European Council should set the end of 2007 as the date for a new Inter-Governmental Conference whose aim should be to improve the Treaty.
EU bør tydeliggøre sin indsats bedre for borgene
Parts 1 and 2 of the Constitution, he said, should be ring-fenced.
Han mindede om, at fire ud af fem europæere, til trods for knap et års tænkepause, stadig ikke føler, at EU kommunikerer med dem.
"The EU needed to embark on a reforming agenda and put growth and the forefront of its priorities".
Watson fremhævede organiseret kriminalitet, globale klimaændringer, immigration og demografisk udvikling som eksempler på nogle store og vigtige områder, hvor EU gør en forskel.
Richard CORBETT (PES, UK) said there were two types of pessimism the EU at the moment: First, there was the pessimism of the euro-enthusiasts who feared that the EU was in perpetual crisis and was reduced simply to a free-trade area.

3.196 mio. euro til rammeprogram for konkurrenceevne og innovation
EP vote should mean more medicine development for children
Målsætningen med CIP-programmet, der løber fra 2007 - 2013, er at forbedre Europas konkurrencevene gennem innovation.
Drug companies which develop effective and safe tests for paediatric medicine will receive a six-month patent extension.
Meget tyder på, at CIP-programmet vil blive vedtaget allerede under førstebehandlingen.
Only those firms meeting strict standards will be allowed to market infant medicine.
På baggrund af en aftale mellem den tyske ordfører, Jorgo Chatzimarkakis, (ALDE, DE), og Rådet vedtog Europa- Parlamentet, en lovpakke med ikke mindre end 145 kompromis-aftaler.
"This regulation which is in favour of paediatric medication is a concrete response to various expectations.
CIP-programmet indeholder flere eksisterende EU-programmer samt nye tiltag, der alle har til formål at styrke Europas konkurrence- og innovationsevne.
This text shows how much Europe influences day-to-day life.
For at ramme så bredt som muligt er det en vigtig målsætning at forenkle støttemulighederne til innovative virksomheder.
A single Member State alone does not have the means to promote such a policy in favour of all children", the rapporteur Françoise GROSSETÊTE (EPP-ED, FR).
Chatzimarkakis understreger, at CIP-programmet specielt fokuserer på små og mellemstore virksomheder, og derfor vil blive strukturelt tilpasset denne gruppe af ansøgere.
The law will cover medications currently in development and not yet authorised, authorised medications covered by patents as well as authorised products that are not covered by intellectual property rights.
For at sikre sig deres deltagelse i programmet vil Kommissionen udarbejde en brugervenlig manual, der på en enkel og klar måde redegør for principperne i støtteprogrammet.
Pharmaceutical firms will have to present a "paediatric investigation plan" (a research and development programme aiming at guaranteeing the necessary data for those who require paediatric treatment).
Den potentielle ansøger skal forud for en ansøgning have mulighed for at få de tilstrækkelige oplysninger om støttemuligheder under CIP.
Two obstacles are therefore avoided: the lack of information concerning the dosage - which increases the risk of side-effects and even death - and ineffective treatment due to a reduced dose.
Derudover er der lagt op til en radikal forenkling af ansøgningsprocessen for at sikre at så bred en kreds af innovative virksomheder som muligt, har mulighed for at deltage i programmet.
Parliament was keen to enforce the "Paediatric Committee" members' independence, a scientific committee which works at the heart of the European Medicines Agency.
Ordføreren hilser udtrykkeligt Kommissionens intention om at oprette et programagentur for CIP velkommen og beder Parlamentet om politisk støtte til dette projekt.
Parliament specified that its members should not "have financial or other interests in the pharmaceutical industry which could affect their impartiality, should undertake to act in the public interest and in an independent manner, and should make an annual declaration of their financial interests" and that their opinions will be made public.
Et programagentur for CIP skulle så være udstyret med de nødvendige midler for at kunne tilfredsstille ansøgernes behov, også i den indledende fase.
Between two and three years after entering into force the "Paediatric Committee" will draw up an inventory of therapeutic benefits in order to determine research priorities.
Inden for IKT-programmet er det af særlig betydning, at fokus bliver flyttet fra myndighederne til dem, der egentlig driver innovationen, nemlig SMV'erne.
Where the development of medicines for children could hamper the development of medicines for adults, MEPs in the committee wish to allow "justified derogations" from the requirement, proposed by the Commission, for firms to present the results of paediatric studies at the same time as human pharmaco-kinetic studies in adults.
Programtitlen er blevet udvidet med ordet "teknologi" for at understrege, at Europa inden for energieffektivitet og bæredygtig udvikling især skal satse på at udvikle teknologistøttede løsninger, hvis disse bestræbelser skal føre til større konkurrence- og innovationsevne.
Parliament approved a transitional clause which states that, for five years after the regulation enters into force, "the application for an extension of the duration of a certificate already granted shall be lodged not later than six months before the expiry" of a Supplementary Protection Certificate.
Her er det særligt vigtigt at inkludere eksisterende energiformer, som skal opfylde miljø- og effektivitetsmålene.
A special logo will be affixed on medication boxes which benefit from a paediatric guideline.

Specialfremstillet børnemedicin snart på hylderne
Transatlantic Partnership Agreement to strengthen the EU-US relationship
Man anvender i dag ofte de samme medicinalprodukter til børn som til voksne, blot i mindre doser.
An own-initiative report by Elmar BROK (EPP-ED, DE), the Chairman of the EP's Foreign Affairs Committee, calls for a Transatlantic Partnership Agreement to strengthen the EU-US relationship.
Det er imidlertid en kendt sag, at børn har et anderledes stofskifte end voksne, og derfor har behov for en anden dispenseringsform end voksne.
The report passed by a large majority in plenary, and mentions both common threats and challenges, as well as several current irritants to transatlantic relations.
Efter dagens afstemning i Parlamentet vil det blive lettere for medicinalvirksomheder at fremstille medicin til børn.
The EP urges that "China, Russia and Ukraine be prioritised for actions with respect to EU-US collaboration" and "encourages the partners to engage in further common action regarding obligations deriving from international treaties," such as the International Criminal Court, the Kyoto Protocol, human rights and non-proliferation treaties.
MEP'er ønsker dog at styrke uafhængigheden af det pædiatriske udvalg, som er et videnskabeligt udvalg under det Europæiske Agentur for Lægemiddelvurdering.
Transatlantic trade and investment ties have never been stronger: with 57% of world GDP between them, the EU and the USA are the engine-room of the world economy.
De foreslår, at udvalget løbende skal dokumentere, at det ikke har kommercielle interesser, der kan påvirke dets uafhængighed.
Ten years after the signing of the New Transatlantic Agenda (1995), an own-initiative report by Erika MANN (PES, DE) calls for EU-US relations to move in the direction of a new transatlantic partnership.
Tilrådighedsstillelsen af lægemidler til børn bør ikke stille sig hindrende i vejen for udviklingen af lægemidler til voksne.
The partnership agreement should provide for the removal of non-tariff barriers in key markets by 2015, through gradual regulatory alignment and mutual recognition of rules and standards.
Grossetête foreslår derfor, at der i visse tilfælde indføres en begrundet undtagelse.
For financial services and capital markets, the target date for a barrier-free market would be 2010.
Denne undtagelse vil betyde, at man ud fra en videnskabelig begrundelse kan undlade i praksis at stille krav om samtidig forelæggelse af resultaterne af pædiatriske undersøgelser og resultaterne af tilsvarende undersøgelser vedrørende voksne.
Although WTO disputes concern less than 2% of all trade, the report urges the European Commission to set up a mechanism for settling trade disputes in advance with the aim of exhausting all diplomatic channels before resorting to the WTO dispute settlement body.

Women's rights/Equal opportunities
Den humanitære krise i de palæstinensiske selvstyreområder og EU's rolle
Roma women in the EU
MEP'er vedtog torsdag en fælles resolution, hvori de udtrykker deres store bekymring over den humanitære og økonomiske situation i de palæstinensiske selvstyreområder.
Roma women are among the most threatened groups and individuals in the European Union (deletion) - and accession and candidate countries, according to the European Parliament.
Målsætningen er at skabe grundlaget for "to levedygtige stater og en afslutning på volden".
(A) In an own-initiative report adopted today with 412 votes for 48 against and 21 abstentions, MEPs call for measures to combat the extreme levels of multiple discrimination faced by these women on the grounds of both ethnicity and gender.
Ifølge Parlamentets udspil skal Hamas anerkende Israels eksistens, mens EU så til gengæld vil tage den humanitære krise i selvstyreområderne alvorligt.
The report, drafted by Lívia Járóka (EPP-ED, HU), urges EU public authorities to "promptly investigate extreme human rights abuses against Roma women, to swiftly punish perpetrators, and to provide adequate compensation to victims".
Enhver kontakt med den nye palæstinensiske regering bør, ifølge MEP'er, sigte mod anerkendelsen af "den endelige fredsaftale".
The Parliament calls on Member States to, to prevent and outlaw coercive sterilisation, and provide redress for such abuse, and to promote family planning, alternative arrangements to early marriages, and sex education.
Forudsætningen for støtte og samarbejde fra EU's side vil være betinget af, at den palæstinensiske regering:
It also calls for proactive measures to eliminate racially segregated maternity wards, to help victims of domestic violence and for particular vigilance regarding the trafficking of Roma women.
• anerkender Israels eksistens
A number of other areas of concern are raised in the report.
• demonstrerer sin vilje til at stoppe volden
It urges Member States to ensure that all Roma women have access to health care, and not only, as often occurs, in the case of an extreme emergency or childbirth.
• Vedkender sig sine internationale forpligtigelser.
Many Roma girls fail to complete primary education.
På den anden side fordømmer EP den fortsatte udvidelse af israelske bosættelser - særligt i Østjerusalem - og den israelskbyggede mur der overskrider grænsedragningen fra 1967.
Lívia Járóka says that since education "is one of the most important tools for escaping poverty, the dual discrimination faced by Roma women in the field of education means that they will have a particularly difficult time escaping poverty".
Ifølge EP er muren i strid med international ret og desuden en stor symbolsk hindring for fred og forsoning mellem de to folk.
The Parliament calls for measures at national level to ensure that women and girls have access on equal terms to quality education and for plans to end the separate, substandard education of Roma children.
Endelig opfordrer MEP'er Mellemøstskvartetten til atter at sætte skub i fredsforhandlingerne, så målsætningerne i "Køreplanen for Fred" kan opnås.
A further burning issue, calling for positive measures, is the very high unemployment rates among Roma women - in several places, many times higher than that of the rest of the adult female population.
RC-B6-0301/2006 Fælles beslutningsforslag på baggrund af forhandlingen om redegørelser fra den højtstående repræsentant for FUSP og Kommissionen
(K) MEPs also urge the Member States to improve Roma housing by recognising in national law a right to adequate housing.
jf. forretningsordenens artikel 103, stk. 2,
The situation of Roma women in candidate countries should, according to the Parliament, be a key criterion for evaluation states of readiness for accession to the EU.
