MEP'erne har ønsket at forsvare passagerernes frihedsrettigheder, som de mener bliver krænket af aftalen.
The MEPs, however, have decided to defend the civil liberties of passengers, who they believe are being violated by this agreement.
Ifølge EU-lovgivning må borgernes personlige oplysninger faktisk kun stilles til rådighed for tredielande i ganske særlige tilfælde og på en måde, så de er effektivt beskyttede.
In fact, according to EU legislation, citizens’ personal information should only be made available to third countries in exceptional situations and to guarantee they are effectively protected.
Parlamentet har begrænset råderum
The Parliament has limited room for manoeuvre
Parlamentet havde allerede tilkendegivet sin holdning til sagen, men ifølge traktaterne skal beslutninger om retlige og indre anliggender tages af de nationale regeringer sammen med Europa-Kommissionen.
The Parliament has already given its opinion on the issue but, in accordance with the treaties, decisions relating to justice and home affairs are made by the governments, together with the European Commission.
Eftersom dette ikke var et spørgsmål om et overnationalt eller et rent lokalt myndighedsområde, har Parlamentet rolle alene været af rådgivende karakter.
As this is not a question of a supranational or community jurisdiction, the Parliament’s role is simply to act in an advisory capacity.
I denne situation med svigtende samarbejde mellem EU's institutioner, besluttede Parlamentet altså at indbringe sagen for EF-Domstolen i september 2004.
In this situation, due to the lack of cooperation between the institutions, the Parliament decided to bring the case before the European Court of Justice in September 2004.
Juridisk forvikling?
Legal tangle?
Parlamentets appel bar frugt: Domstolen kendte Kommissionens og Rådets beslutning ugyldig og vurderede, at den hvilede på et utilstrækkeligt juridisk grundlag.
The Parliament’s appeal was effective: the Court invalidated the decisions of the Commission and the Council, considering the legal basis of these decisions to be inappropriate.
Loven har i dette tilfælde ikke mere at tilføje sagen, som af formelle årsager er lagt død.
But in this case, the law has nothing more to pronounce on the merits of the case which, for formal reasons has become null and void.
Aftalen vedbliver at gælde indtil 30. september.
The agreement, however, remains in force until 30 September.
En række spørgsmål er imidlertid stadig ubesvarede: Er en ny aftale nødvendig?
A series of questions remain unanswered: Is a new agreement necessary?
På hvilket juridisk grundlag skal den hvile?
What would be its legal basis?
Hvordan skal samarbejdet mellem instanserne organiseres?
How will the cooperation between the institutions be organized?
Hold øje med sagen her.
Watch this space.

Graham Watson, leader of the ALDE group called for leadership instead of ‘followership’, saying that national politicians should share their vision and ask people to join rather than repeat what they expect people would like to hear.

Dyrevelfærd – en voksende bekymring
Animal welfare - a growing concern
Dyrevelfæld er en europæisk værdi
Animal welfare is a European value
Der er stor opmærksomhed på dyrevelfærd i EU, men er forbrugerne parate til at betale en højere pris for de "dyrevenlige produkter"?
There is a high awareness of animal welfare in the EU, but are consumers prepared to pay a higher price for "animal friendly products"?
Det var et af spørgsmålene, der blev diskuteret under en høring arrangeret af Parlamentets landbrugsudvalg med henblik på EU's handlingsplan for dyrevelfærd 2006-2010.
This was one of the topics discussed in a hearing organised by the Parliament's Agriculture committee on the EU action plan for animal welfare 2006-2010.
Dyrevelfærd er en europæisk værdi...
Animal welfare is a European value...
Debattørerne var enige om, at dyrevelfærd er en europæisk værdi med stærke forbindelser til andre politiske områder.
Speakers agreed that animal welfare is a European value, strongly linked to other policy areas.
EU har allerede høje standarder, men "der kan gøres meget mere", sagde den tyske kristendemokrat Elisabeth Jeggle, der arbejder på en betænkning om handlingsplanen.
The EU already has high standards, but "a lot more can be done", said German Christian Democrat Elisabeth Jeggle who is drawing up a report on the action plan.
En ”Eurobarometer” undersøgelse af 24.708 europæere i 2005 viste, at i 15 af de 25 medlemslande mener hovedparten af de adspurgte, at dyrevelfærden ikke har tilstrækkelig indflydelse på den førte landbrugspolitik i deres egne lande.
A Eurobarometer survey of 24,708 Europeans last year showed that in 15 of the 25 Member States, a majority of respondents thinks that not enough importance is given to the welfare of animals in the agricultural policy of their own countries.
Undersøgelsen viser, at de adspurgte i markant grad forholder sig til velfærd og beskyttelse af hver enkelt husdyrart.
The survey shows a distinct perception of welfare and protection for each species of farmed animal.
Forholdene for æglæggende høns bedømmes som ringere end for svin og køer.
The conditions of laying hens being judged to be poorer than those of pigs and cows.
...men er vi parate til at betale?
...but are we prepared to pay?
På trods af opmærksomheden om dyrevelfærd tager størstedelen af befolkningen den tilsyneladende ikke i betragtning, når de køber mad, og folk synes kun parate til at ville betale en begrænset overpris.
In spite of the awareness of animal welfare, a majority of citizens do not seem to take it into account when buying food, and people seem willing to accept only a limited price increase.
Ifølge den spanske forsker Luis Gosálvez Lara er kun 11% indstillet på at acceptere en prisstigning på mere end 25% på kød.
According to Spanish academic Luis Gosálvez Lara only 11% are prepared to accept a greater than 25% increase in meat prices.
Efterspørgslen på produkter, der er produceret dyrevenligt, er alligevel stigende, sagde Dil Peeling fra Eurogroup for Animal Welfare.
The demand for welfare-friendly products is however strong and growing, said Dil Peeling of the Eurogroup for Animal Welfare.
Han henviste til en undersøgelse fra National Food Centre fra 2000, der viste, at en tredjedel af befolkningen i Irland, Storbritannien, Frankrig, Italien og Tyskland har nedsat deres kødforbrug på grund af overvejelser om dyrenes velfærd.
He referred to a study by the National Food Centre from 2000 showing that a third of the population in Ireland, the UK, France, Italy and Germany had decreased meat consumption due to animal welfare concerns.
Forbruget af æg produceret med dyrevelfærd for øje er cirka 2,5 gange højere end det var for 10 år siden, sagde han.
The consumption of welfare friendly eggs is about two and half times higher than it was 10 years ago, and rising, he said.
Flere af talerne kom ind på, at en vis ufølsomhed hos forbrugerne kan skyldes problemer med at identificere produkterne; så tydeligere mærkning kan være et vigtigt mål.
Identification difficulties may explain a lack of sensitivity, so clearer labelling could be an important measure, said several speakers.
Omkring 51% af EU's borgere siger, at de sjældent eller aldrig kan se ud fra etiketten på æg, mælk eller kød, om det er produceret med hensyntagen til dyrevelfærd.
Some 51% of EU citizens say that they can rarely or never identify from the label on eggs, milk and meat whether the production system is animal welfare friendly or not.
Formanden for landbrugsudvalget, Joseph Daul (PPE-DE, FR), understregede i sin opsamling ovenpå debatten, at dyrevelfærd også gælder kæledyr.
Summing up the debate, Joseph DAUL (EPP-ED, FR), chairman of the EP agriculture committee, underlined that animal welfare also applies to pets.
Han opfordrede til, at de socio-økonomiske følger af nye regler undersøges og til at geografiske forskelle respekteres, når der sættes standarder.
He called for studies on the socio-economic impact of new rules and respect of geographical differences when setting standards.
Bedre dyrevelfærd bør ikke medføre større udgifter og bureaukrati.
Better animal welfare animals should not mean higher costs and red-tape.

EP støtter 50.000 mio. € program til forskning og udvikling
European Parliament calls on the US Administration to close Guantánamo Bay detention facility
Det syvårige rammeprogram vil have et budget på 50,862 mio. euro sammenlignet med de 72,726 mio., som Kommissionen oprindelig foreslog.
MEPs also point out that the suicides on 10 June 2006 of three detainees at Guantanamo Bay have raised further international concern about the detention facilities.
MEP'er opfordrer til, at små og mellemstore virksomheder (SMV'er), unge forskere samt kvinder får øget adgang til støttemidlerne i programmet.
The House calls on the US Government to grant unimpeded access to the detainees at Guantánamo Bay for the respective UN bodies and international human rights organisations.
Jerzy Buzek understreger i sin betænkning, at for SMV'ernes vedkommende er tidlig adgang til støtte centralt.
MEPs note that the Red Cross has been the only international organisation to have official access to the detainees.
Andre ændringsforslag blev vedtaget for at støtte unge forskere i opstarten af deres videnskabelige karrierer.
MEPs call on the US authorities to ensure that all allegations of torture and other ill-treatment involving US personnel are subject to prompt, thorough and credible investigation and trial.
EP støtter Kommissionen forslag om at oprette et Europæisk Forskningsråd, men understreger at et sådant bør have fuld autonomi.
The House calls on the US authorities to ensure that released detainees are not returned to any state where they could face a risk of being tortured or subjected to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.
I forlængelse heraf opfordres Kommissionen til at udarbejde et forslag (under proceduren for fælles beslutningstagning) til implementeringen af et permanent og uafhængigt Forskningsråd.
MEPs call on the EU to have a common approach for the EU-US Summit and to institute a joint action calling on the US Government to close the Guantánamo Bay detention centre and act in accordance with international law regarding the treatment of detainees.
For at undgå for høje udgifter til administration vedtog udvalget et ændringsforslag, der fastslår, at udgifterne til administration ikke må overstige mere end 3% af Forskningsrådets årlige budget.
The House also suggests, following the advice of the European Parliament Members' delegation which recently visited Guantánamo, that an ad hoc delegation be sent to Guantánamo when the EP considers it necessary and appropriate.
De ni områder som støtteprogrammet dækker, er følgende:

Kommissionen: Lissabon - målene skal nås
Human Rights Dialogue
Janez POTONICK, indledte på Kommissionens vegne med at udtrykke sin taknemmelighed over det gode samarbejde med EP i forbindelse med EU's syvende rammeprogram for forskning.
Parliament calls also on the Russian Government in this framework to contribute to the intensification of the EU-Russia Human Rights Consultations as an essential part of the EU-Russia partnership and to allow the free functioning of domestic and international human rights organisations and other NGOs.
Potonick glædede sig særligt over, at EP hele vejen igennem forhandlingsforløbet havde udvist stor entusiasme og bl.a. insisteret på, at fremtidens forskning må forstås ud fra en fælles europæisk ramme.
MEPs recognises the importance of the several established dialogues for the better functioning of EU-Russian cooperation and partnership and underlines in particular the necessity of an effective Human Rights Dialogue.
Kommissæren understregede, at Kommissionen vil imødekomme EP's krav om, at det nye Europæiske Forskningsråd skal være en autonom institution uafhængig af private økonomiske interesser.
The House urges the Russian Federation as a member of the Council of Europe to improve conditions for prisoners and put an end to difficulties for lawyers to have access to some of them.
Europæisk samarbejde omkring stamcelleforskning var, ifølge Potonick, vitalt for Europas globale konkurrenceevne.
MEPs point out that, according to the Russian Criminal Code, detainees should be imprisoned either close to their residence or close to where their trial took place, as exemplified by the prisoners Mr Khodorkovsky and Mr Lebedev.
Hvis Europa ikke skal sakke bagud i forhold til USA og Asien er der intet alternativ til et stærkt og målrettet europæisk samarbejde.
Finally, the European Parliament calls on the Russian Government to honour its responsibility as President of the G8 and as Chair of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe to achieve tangible results in the further development of transparent trade and reliable economic relations and in the establishment of stability, security, democracy and respect for human rights.
Bred parlamentarisk deltagelse
Hence the importance of protecting them."
Betænkningens polske forfatter og tidligere premierminister, Jerzy BUZEK (PPE-DE, PL), takkede for den brede deltagelse fra Parlamentets side.
This, in the words of Parliament's rapporteur Christa Klass (EPP-ED, DE) is the key issue being tackled by a new European directive.
Ikke mindre end otte af EP's parlamentariske udvalg deltog i forhandlingsprocessen, hvor de præsenterede udtalelser til Kommissionens forslag.
Ms Klass's second-reading recommendation on the protection of groundwater against pollution was adopted by a large majority.
Buzek fastslog, at det syvende rammeprogram for forskning, til trods for de beskedne finansielle rammer, viste vejen frem for europæisk forskning.
The text adopted by the Parliament does not impose single standards for all countries, except for nitrates and pesticides, but it does seek to harmonise methods for measuring potential pollutants.
Han glædede sig særligt over:
MEPs wish to beef up the directive on a number of points, by improving sampling methodologies, tightening up the wording of the legislation and closing loopholes to prevent the directive being undermined.
• oprettelsen af det nye Europæiske Forskningsråd
As in the water framework directive, the notion of "deterioration" is absent.
