The House calls on the Russian authorities to cease politically motivated harassment of NGOs, especially those observing the situation in Chechnya such as the Russian-Chechen Friendship Society.
EP betragter den internationale handelspolitik som afgørende for at fremme konkurrenceevnen og væksten i såvel EU som i udviklingslandene.
Parliament and Council reached a compromise before the vote, so that the Transport Ministers will approve Parliament's first reading without amendment.
Det understreger, at det er afgørende for adgangen til markedet for industriprodukter at begrænse og afskaffe høje toldafgifter.
During the debate, Parliament's rapporteur, Robert EVANS (PES, UK), said that up to 10 million passengers are assisted at Europe's airports every year.
EP understreger nødvendigheden af at fremskynde forenklingen og konsolideringen af EU-lovgivningen.
Fundamental rights for disabled passengers when travelling by air ought to be something we take for granted."
EP kræver, med henblik på større åbenhed i EU-institutionernes beslutningsprocesser, at offentligheden får adgang til Rådets møder om lovgivning.
The scope of the regulation has been broadened: it applies not only to persons with reduced mobility, but also to disabled persons.
Medlemsstaterne anmodes om at støtte bestræbelserne på at iværksætte en ramme for intern, sikker og samlet kontrol med EU's budget, som kan munde ud i oprettelse af en længe ventet ansvarlighedsmekanisme, navnlig i tilfælde af delt forvaltning.
That means individuals who are, inter alia, blind, partially sighted, deaf, hard of hearing, or who have an intellectual disability are explicitly included.
Fælles beslutningsforslag om Kommissionens lovgivnings- og arbejdsprogram for 2006 (KOM(2005)0531)
Disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility may not be refused transport on the grounds of their disability or lack of mobility.
EU skal lære borgerne i de nye medlemsstater at blive bedre forbrugere
They also have the right to receive the necessary assistance they need in order to use air transport.
EP har vedtaget en betænkning af Henrik Dam Kristensen (Socialdemokratiet), der opfordrer til øget støtte til forbrugerorganisationer og til udvikling af en forbrugerkultur i de nye medlemsstater
This assistance must be given free of charge and must enable them to, for example, check-in and register baggage, to board the aircraft, with the provision of lifts, wheelchairs or other assistance needed, to disembark from the aircraft, to move to the toilet facilities if required or to handle all necessary mobility equipment, such as electric wheelchairs, subject to advance warning of 48 hours.
Han insisterer på, at det indre marked ikke kan fungere ordentligt, så længe forbrugerne i visse medlemsstater er beskyttet mindre end andre.
The regulation applies to airports whose annual traffic is higher than 150 000 commercial passenger movements.
Selvom de nye medlemsstater har haft held til at implementere den eksisterende fællesskabslovgivning i deres eget juridiske system, vil denne implementering ikke være afsluttet, før borgerne bliver i stand til at handle som politiske forbrugere.
At those airports, points of arrival and departure, both inside and outside terminal buildings, have to be designated at which disabled persons or persons with reduced mobility can, with facility, announce their arrival at the airport and request assistance.
Forbrugerorganisationer skal nemmere kunne opnå EU-tilskud
The managing body of an airport is responsible for ensuring that the necessary assistance is provided.
De nye medlemsstaters forbrugerbeskyttelsesmyndigheder må spille en nøglerolle i skabelsen af en sådan forbrugerkultur, men sådanne myndigheder slås oftest med adskillige udfordringer.
It can provide such assistance itself or may contract with one or more other parties.
I følge MEP'er fra de nye medlemsstater er forbrugerbeskyttelsesorganisationerne ret fragmenterede og mangler de nødvendige finansielle midler.
When entering into such a contract the managing body is "taking into account the existing services at the airport concerned".
De har heller ikke de ressourcer, der er nødvendige for at lave en succesfuld ansøgning til projekter, finansieret af EU.
Initially, the Commission wanted the airports to be solely responsible.
Kommissionen skal derfor undersøge, om kriterierne for at opnå støtte kan gøres mere fleksible.
Many airlines, however, strongly criticised this, because they provide high quality services for disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility and wanted to keep on offering this service.
Parlamentet mener desuden der skal afsættes flere penge til en styrkelse af forbrugerbeskyttelsen i de nye medlemsstater, og Kommissionen tilskyndes til at støtte oplysningskampagner og træningsprogrammer for forbrugerorganisationerne og deres ansatte.
The compromise between Parliament and Council gives the main responsibility to the airport whilst giving airlines the possibility to provide their service.
Behovet for samarbejde mellem organisationer i de nye og gamle medlemsstater blev også understreget.
For the purpose of funding this assistance, a specific charge is levied on the air carriers using the airport.
Samarbejdet kan have form af venskabsprojekter, vejledningsprojekter og andre programmer for udveksling af viden.
This charge will be shared among the air carriers using the airport in proportion to the total number of all passengers that each carries to and from that airport.
Endelig opfordres Kommissionen til at iværksætte en oplysningskampagne, der skal forberede forbrugerne i de nye medlemslande på indførelsen af euroen.
The right to transportation can be refused in order to meet applicable safety requirements or if the size of the aircraft or its doors makes the embarkation or carriage physically impossible.
Parlamentet har godkendt et forslag til reform af EU's 37 år gamle fælles markedsordning for sukker.
A disabled person or a person with reduced mobility who has been refused to embark on the ground of his/her disability or reduced mobility he/she must be offered the right to reimbursement or re-routing.
Målet med reformen er at nedsætte EU's sukkerpriser.
It shall apply from beginning of 2008.
Europa-Parlamentet har med klart flertal godkendt et forslag fra Kommissionen med henblik på reform af EU's 37 år gamle fælles markedsordning for sukker.
On the financial perspective, Parliament insists that the financial perspective 2007-2013 should provide the basis for the further development of a strong European Union and expects the Commission to defend its position, namely that the financial perspective must be set at a level sufficient to finance the EU's political priorities.
Målet med reformen er at nedsætte EU's sukkerpriser.
Research, knowledge and qualifications
Reformen vil få økonomiske, sociale og miljømæssige konsekvenser for de sukkerproducerende lande som bl.a. omfatter Congo, Mozambique og Tanzania.
The House reiterates the call from both Parliament and the Council to promote excellence in European universities and higher education, and also better knowledge of languages.
Derfor har Kommissionen fremsat et lovforslag, der sigter mod at kompensere de berørte AVS-lande ved at yde finansiel og teknisk bistand til at omstrukturere deres sukkerindustrier i forbindelse med disse landes tilpasning til det nye prisniveau.
Parliament attaches particular importance to increasing active participation in the job market by people of working age, with a view to achieving the Lisbon objective of a participation rate of 70% in 2010.
Forordningen skal løbe over en periode på otte år.
MEPs underline the need for a family support policy and for the promotion of a suitable environment for children, in order to make it easier to combine work and family life.
Åbning af mødet
Borrell: Statement on the death penalty
Han mindede om, at der i 2004 blev henrettet mindst 3.800 mennesker verden over, og at USA sammen med Kina, Iran og Vietnam står for 85% af disse henrettelser.
The illegal detention of CIA prisoners in Europe, the upcoming EU Summit and the use of data retention in the fight against terrorism are among the issues MEPs will debate during the session.
Formanden for Europa-Parlamentet, Josep BORRELL, indledte mødet med at fremsætte en kort erklæring om brug af dødsstraf.
MEPs will attend the presentation of the 2005 Sakharov Prize to the three laureates during a ceremony in Strasbourg on Wednesday.
Han mindede om, at man den 10. december fejrede 60-årsdagen for FN's Menneskerettighedserklæring, som bl.a. indeholder retten til livet.
"The 10 December, we commemorate the 57th anniversary of the Declaration on Human Rights.
Ikke desto mindre anslår Amnesty International, at der på verdensplan i 2004 blev afsagt 7.400 dødsdomme, og at mindst 3.800 mennesker blev henrettet.
In the United States, the 1000th person to be condemned to death since the re-establishment of the death penalty in 1976 has just been reached.
I 2005 er tallet 84.
Doubt is growing.
Der er dog fortsat 76 stater, som opretholder dødsstraffen.
China is the country that has the highest number of executions.
Formanden mindede om, at mindst 120 dødsdømte amerikanere er blevet løsladt i samme periode, idet de var blevet uskyldigt dømt.
Our work as parliamentarians is to convince our partners in these countries to finally abolish the death penalty.
Ændring af dagsordenen
Highlights of the week

Prime Minister Tony BLAIR will be in Strasbourg on Thursday 15 December for a working (closed) lunch with President Josep BORRELL and the leaders of Parliament's political groups.
EP ønsker batterier uden giftige tungmetaller
Don't throw your batteries in the dustbin, say MEPs
EP går ind for batterier uden giftige tungmetaller ved andenbehandlingen af Batteridirektivet.
The European Parliament adopted its second reading recommendation in which it strengthens several requirements.
Målet med direktivet er at indsamle og genanvende alle brugte batterier og akkumulatorer på det europæiske marked, samt at udfase brugen af tungmetaller i disse.
The rapporteur, Johannes BLOKLAND (IND/DEM, NL) spoke in favour of a ban on cadmium, lead and mercury, with a transitional period for cadmium batteries used in cordless power tools and exemptions for some specific uses of lead batteries.
I forhold til Rådet indtager Parlamentet den mest miljøvenlige linie.
He recognised that, in order to reach an agreement with the Council, he would have to weaken his proposals expressed by Parliament in first reading in particular to make life easier for users of industrial batteries and accumulators.
Vi bruger flere og flere batterier, og det giver store mængder af giftigt affald.
The new directive also seeks to better organise the collection, treatment and recycling of waste batteries and accumulators.
I 2002 blev der solgt 158.270 ton transportable batterier og 189.490 ton batterier og akkumulatorer til industrielle formål.
Statistics on collection of portable batteries in 2002 for some countries show variable efficiency: Belgium 59%, Sweden 55%, Austria 44%, Germany 39%, Netherlands 32%, France 16% for example.
Af den sidste type indeholdt 96 % tungmetaller.
The plenary debate went in very different ways even among the political groups.
Hovedproblemet er brugen af de giftige tungmetaller kviksølv, bly og kadmium.
For instance, Caroline JACKSON (EPP-ED, UK) criticised the collection targets adopted by the Environment Committee: "Let us be frank about this.
Det støtter et muligt forbud mod batterier indeholdende tungmetaller, hvor der er tungmetalfri alternativer i form af NiMH og Li-ion batterier på markedet.
Holger KRAHMER (ALDE, DE) used the same words on behalf of his group, as did Linda McAVAN (PES, UK): "In fact only a handful of countries collect batteries at all.
Producenterne skal sende mere miljøvenlige produkter på markedet
We need to get targets down to a level that countries can meet", she said.
I forbindelse med andenbehandlingen af det såkaldte Batteridirektiv genfremsætter EP en række ændringsforslag omkring batteriernes ydeevne.
Marie-Noëlle LIENEMANN (PES, FR) pleaded for the substitution principle and for a ban on cadmium "as requested by the European Parliament since 1988" .
Det er forslag, der ikke er blevet accepteret i Rådets fælles holdning.
"If alternatives do exist for portable batteries as well as for industrial ones, we have to prohibit cadmium", she added.
Parlamentet mener, at sådanne regler er vigtige, da de ansporer til forskning i ny miljøvenlig teknologi og til produktion af batterier med en mere miljøvenlig brugscyklus.
Showing two different cordless drills and a plank into which he had driven screws, Carl SCHLYTER (Greens/EFA) insisted on the need to indicate the actual capacity of batteries to the consumer since one of the drills worked twice as long as the other one.
Samtidig ønsker EP at gøre det klart, at producenterne også er ansvarlige for omkostningerne ved indsamling, behandling, genvinding og miljøvenlig bortskaffelse af historisk affald.
The directive authorises Member States to use economic instruments to promote the collection of waste batteries and accumulators or the use of less pollutants ones.
Realistiske mål for batteriindsamling
But MEPs insist on the respect of internal market rules and on the need for consultation with all the parties concerned.
Der er i øjeblikket store forskelle mellem medlemsstaterne når det gælder indsamlingsraten.
An amendment stipulates that batteries and accumulators cannot be incorporated in appliances unless they can be readily removed, when spent, by the consumer.
Belgien indsamler f.eks. 59 % af alle batterier, mens det samme tal for Frankrig kun er 16 %.
However some appliances escape this prohibition (some applications in information technology, medical devices,...)
Kommissionen foreslog oprindeligt indsamling af en fast mængde af batterier på 160 gram pr. indbygger pr. år.
The responsibility for meeting the costs of collection, treatment, recycling and disposal of " historic waste " (for batteries placed on the market before the entry into force of this new Directive) shall lie with producers.
Den gang foreslog EP, at indsamlingen efter seks år mindst skulle udgøre 50 % af de solgte batterier og 60 % efter ti.
MEPs take the view that distributors should inform end-users about the possibility of discarding waste portable batteries and accumulators at their sales points .
Dette mål har Rådet nedsat til henholdsvis 25 og 45 %.
It is now up to the Council whether or not to agree with all these amendments.

Kompensation til sukkerproducenter i tredjelande
Sugar reform: more financial support for ACP countries in 2006
Parlamentet har godkendt et forslag til reform af EU's 37 år gamle fælles markedsordning for sukker.
Parliament adopted a report demanding extra aid for the ACP countries hit by the overhaul of the Community sugar regime.
Målet med reformen er at nedsætte EU's sukkerpriser.
MEPs in the committee wanted the EU to provide €80m in 2006, double the €40m proposed by the European Commission when it unveiled the reform in June this year.
Som en konsekvens vil den garanterede pris, som EU betaler til de AVS-lande (stater i Afrika, Vestindien og Stillehavet), der har underskrevet sukkerprotokollen, ligeledes falde
However, the final figure of €40 million was approved by Parliament in order to reach agreement with the Council in first reading.
Reformen vil få økonomiske, sociale og miljømæssige konsekvenser for de sukkerproducerende lande som bl.a. omfatter Congo, Mozambique og Tanzania.
The figure of €80m would come from the External action budget heading, a key area in the ongoing negotiations between Parliament and Council on the 2006 budget.
Det samlede årlige tab for disse lande er blevet vurderet til 400 millioner euro, og beskæftigelsen i den primære sektor risikerer at falde med omkring 80.000 ansatte.
At the same time, the House urges ACP countries affected by the reform to promote non-food uses of sugar such as bioethanol production.
Derfor har Kommissionen fremsat et lovforslag, der sigter mod at kompensere de berørte AVS-lande ved at yde finansiel og teknisk bistand til at omstrukturere deres sukkerindustrier i forbindelse med disse landes tilpasning til det nye prisniveau.
And MEPs want the reform's flanking measures to be extended automatically to 2007 if negotiations on the next financial perspective drag on, thereby delaying implementation of the new instrument for development aid and economic cooperation.
De unge tager ordet
Youth Takes the Floor
EU-ungdom i Europa-Parlamentet
Young people from all Member States debate with MEPs
De var 200, der kom til Bruxelles fra samtlige medlemsstater for at oplade deres røst.
Some 200 of them came to Brussels from all the Member States to make their voices heard.
Ja, de ønsker faktisk at spille en aktiv rolle i opbygningen af Europa.
Yes, they want to play an active role in building Europe.
Og nej, man kan ikke udforme en europæisk ungdomspolitik uden de unge.
No, you cannot devise a European youth policy without young people.
De har brug for Europa, og Europa har brug for dem.
They need Europe and Europe needs them.
Dette var hovedpunkterne fra den debat, som blev holdt i Parlamentets sal mellem de unge og repræsentanter for EU’s institutioner.
These were the points that arose in discussions between young people and representatives of EU institutions during a debate in the chamber of the European Parliament.
Nu skal ordene føres ud i livet.
Now words have to be transformed into deeds.
Mange af de unge, som samledes i Parlamentet den 6. december, havde aldrig oplevet noget lignende.
For many of the young people who assembled at Parliament on 6 December it was the first time that they had experienced anything like this.
Som 27-årige Jana Tikalová fra Prag indrømmede: ”Ærligt talt, inden jeg kom hertil, anede jeg ikke, hvor vigtig denne begivenhed var.”
As 27-year-old Jana Tikalová from Prague said: “frankly, before coming here I didn’t realise how important this event was.”
Hun er medlem af en tjekkisk NGO, som arbejder for integration og accept af minoriteter og hun er med i et projekt, som bliver støttet af EU’s ungdomsprogram.
She is a member of a Czech NGO working to achieve greater inclusion and integration for minorities and is involved in a project funded by the European Youth Programme.
EU: For unge - om unge
The EU – For and About Young People
Den Europæiske Ungdomsuge og tilsvarende begivenheder giver unge en mulighed for bedre at gennemskue, hvordan de kan involvere sig i EU’s aktiviteter.
Events like the European Commission-organised European Youth Week enable young people to get a better understanding of how they can become involved in the EU’s activities.
Og det er det eneste de beder om.
That is all they are asking.
Som en af deltagerne sagde: ”Vi har forladt vores daglige liv, vores eksaminer og vores jobs for at tage herhen.
As one participant said: “We’ve left behind our daily routine, our exams and our jobs to come here.
Er det ikke bevis nok?”
Isn’t that proof enough?”
En anden tilføjede: ”I kraft af vores organisationer er vi de bedste til at bygge bro mellem befolkning og regering, vi har bare brug for at blive hørt.”
Another added: “Through our organisations we are the best way of building bridges between citizens and governments, we just need to be heard.”
Alejo Vidal Quadras, næstformand i Europa-Parlamentet og spansk kristelig demokrat, var enig.
Alejo Vidal Quadras, Vice-President of the European Parliament, and a Spanish Christian Democrat, agrees.
Efter hans mening er nederlaget i traktatafstemningerne i Frankrig og Holland blandt andet udtryk for dårlig kommunikation.
In his view the failure of the referendums on the European Constitution in France and the Netherlands is, amongst other things, a telling sign of poor communication.
De unge skal informeres bedre og involveres mere.
Young people need to be better informed and to become more involved.
Nedskæringer i støtten til unge? – Et uacceptabelt initiativ
Cutting Back Support for Young People? – An Unacceptable Measure
Ungdomsprogrammet hjælper med at få unge involveret i europæiske aktiviteter.
The Youth Programme contributes to getting young people involved in European affairs.
Adskillige MEP’er, inklusive Gröner og tyske Helga Trüpel, De Grønne, slår imidlertid alarm: ”Det britiske formandskabs budgetforslag er uacceptabelt og vil blandt andet føre til besparelser i ungdomsprogrammet.”
But several MEPs, including Mrs Gröner and German Green MEP Helga Trüpel, are sounding the alarm.
Ifølge de unge, der talte, var det i stedet det modsatte, der skulle til.
“The budget proposals put forward by the UK Presidency are unacceptable and would mean, amongst other things, a reduction in support for the Youth Programme,” said Mrs Gröner.
Der er brug for flere ressourcer, hvis man skal nå de målsætninger, der er opstillet i Den Europæiske Ungdomspagt og Lissabon-strategien omkring uddannelse, mobilitet og integrering af unge på arbejdspladserne.
Going by what the young people who spoke had to say, the opposite needs to be done.
20051207STO03250 Den Anden Europæiske Ungdomsuge, 5. til 11. december.
More resources are needed if the objectives of the European Youth Pact and the Lisbon Strategy, in areas like integrating young people into the workplace and their training and mobility, are to be achieved.
