Formanden for Europa-Parlamentet Hans-Gert PÖTTERING bød velkommen til den spanske premierminister.
In welcoming Prime Minister Zapatero, European Parliament President Hans-Gert Pöttering said: "These debates are extremely important for the European Parliament."
"Spanien havde i 2005 som det første medlemsland folkeafstemning om Forfatningstraktaten, hvor 77 % stemte for.
The EP President also recalled that Spain was the first country to approve the Constitutional Treaty by referendum, with 77 per cent voting in favour.
Debatten med den spanske premierminister var led i en serie debatter med europæiske regeringsledere.
Spanish Prime Minister José Luis RODRÍGUEZ ZAPATERO told the European Parliament meeting in Brussels in its plenary session that "in Spain, the notion of Europe is associated with our longing for peace, freedom, democracy and prosperity" and that "we owe a lot to Europe, and the people of Spain consider this project, in the first place, with a sense of deep gratitude".
"Vi skal forny vores entusiasme"
"We Europeans enjoy the most rights and are best protected.
Onsdag aften mødte MEP'erne en entusiastisk spansk premierminister fuld af optimisme på Europas vegne.
But we are not an island, and cannot live at ease knowing that these rights are absent or are trampled upon in other parts of the world.
"Det er tid til at samle kræfterne.
We must obey an ethical imperative to strive to disseminate them".
Til at forny vores entusiasme.
No need for pessimism
Vi har alt for ofte hørt, at Europa er i krise.
"Too often have we heard that Europe is in crisis", said Mr Zapatero, but he stressed "I do not share this pessimistic outlook".
Jeg deler ikke dette pessimistiske syn.
"Let us be ambitious" he told MEPs.
Han ønskede, at Europa på en række områder skulle være mere ambitiøs.
Immigration seen as a boon but root causes must be tackled too
"Europa skal være en reference for vækst og velfærd," sagde han og fortsatte: "Lad os være ambitiøse.
Mr Zapatero pointed to the creation of a Common Space of Freedom, Security and Justice, the development of the Schengen space and the system of external borders as important future EU policies that Spain would support.
Erfaringen har vist, at når vi er det, så går det godt," sagde han og nævnte blandt andet euroen om eksempel.
Then, turning to the subject of immigration, he said "Let us begin by unequivocally acknowledging immigration’s positive potential, which ranges from the demographic contribution to the dynamism of cultural diversity, including the boost to the potential growth of our economies, which has been very clear in the case of Spain".
Zapatero talte også om det sociale Europa: "Vi ønsker fremgang for at få velfærd.
At the same time, he said, "let us address the causes that spur emigration" and "neutralize the mafias that profit from the urgent desire of these men and women to leave their lives of misery and frustration".
Vort Europa er et socialt Europa - et Europa med sociale rettigheder.
Isolation not an option for Europe
Vores økonomiske model kan ikke fungere uden lighed - og lighed opnår man ikke uden beskyttelse," sagde han.
On external affairs, he said "With the new Treaty, we will have effective instruments for our common external policy".
"Lad os anerkende det positive potentiale i immigration.
We are so obliged by our concept of dignity, by our humanist roots, by our sense of justice.
Lad os fremme integrationspolitikker, der respekterer rettigheder og kræver pligter.
Only shared development and equality can ensure security in an ever more agitated world."
En politik, der sikrer, at immigration bliver mere værdig, mere fri og mere sikker", sagde den spanske premierminister, der samtidig understregede vigtigheden af dialog med de lande, hvor immigranterne kommer fra, og en mere effektiv kontrol med de ydre grænser for at stoppe menneskehandlen.
In particular, he emphasised that "The new Europe cannot be understood in isolation from its Eastern and Southern neighbours" and stressed "the importance of intensifying our relations with Latin America".
Den spanske premierminister ønskede også mere fokus på udviklingsstøtten, og understregede behovet for at udvikle en fælles forsvarspolitik, der kan gøre det muligt for EU deltage i fredsbevarende aktioner internationalt under FN-mandat.
Turning to developments in recent years in Spain, he told the House "We have gone through, and are still undergoing, a period of intense economic growth, becoming ever more open, introducing reforms in line with the Lisbon Strategy".
Han kom også ind på de vigtige udfordringer i forhold til klimaændringerne.
He added "Our social model has become richer and stronger".
"Vi er globale partnere, fordi vi ikke kun er et projekt for europæere," sagde Zapatero.
In his view, "Spaniards today have more rights".
"Vores succes er i lang udstrækning målt i forhold til, hvad vi er for andre - den vægt vores stemme har i verden.
"The right with greatest social impact, that of equality between men and women, is extensively developed and guaranteed by Law.
Fremtiden har mere end nogensinde brug for Europa," sagde han og mente, at den nye traktat vil komme med effektive instrumenter til den fælles udenrigspolitik.
A right with great significance, that of marriage between people of the same gender, provides these men and women with equality with others and dignifies us all as a society".
"I lang tid har vi kun kunnet sige, at hvis Europa var i fremgang, ville Spanien også være det.
And, most particularly, we trust in this Parliament.
I dag tror jeg, at jeg med stolthed og ydmyghed også kan sige, at hvis Spanien er i fremgang er Europa det også."
At the most difficult times, the European Parliament has always been able to repel pessimism, and to be a tough and tireless champion of European integration".
Sammenhæng mellem ord og handling
The Europe the world needs".
Han understregede også behovet for at styrke de moralske værdier i Europa, hvilket ifølge ham også indebærer at være ærlig overfor borgerne omkring de besværligheder,EU går igennem.
He also stressed the need to strengthen the moral values of the Union, which in his view meant "being honest with our citizens about the difficulties we face".
Hans gruppe mente, at der ikke kun var behov for at styrke EU, men også behov for at styrke EU's forskellige nationer, og at han understregede i denne forbindelse, at frihed er en af EU's grundlæggende værdier.
His group believed in the need not just to reinforce the EU but also to strengthen Europe's different nations, and in this connection pointed out that freedom was one of the EU's basic values.
Han endte sin tale med at understrege, at der er mere brug for sammenhæng mellem det, der bliver sagt og gjort end ord.
He closed his speech by emphasising the importance of "consistency" rather than mere words.
Et godt eksempel på, hvad EU's strukturfonde kan gøre, mente Schulz.
He saw Spain as a country that had set an example in emerging from dictatorship and, by "blossoming economically", had shown how the value of the EU's structural funds.
"Det viser, at europæisk integration giver mere - ikke mindre styrke.
It had also demonstrated that ceding sovereignty - e.g. over its currency - could bring benefits.
Han roste også Zapateros indsats for ligestilling: "Der er næppe nogen regeringschef, der har kæmpet mere for kvinders rettigheder, end De har," sagde Martin Schulz, og sluttede af med at sige, at "hvad der er godt for Spanien, er godt for Europa".
Lastly, he pointed to the "progressive policies on equal opportunities and gender issues" pursued by Mr Zapatero's government, saying they were "good for Spain and good for Europe".
Watson langede ud efter Sarkozys idé om at lade en vismandsgruppe se nærmere på Europas Fremtid.
My Group sees no need for a group of wise people to ponder Europe's future.
Det er ikke et velvalgt tidspunkt for franskmændene at skulle til at sidde og tegne igen", sagde han.
Now is not the time to go back to a French drawing board nor to follow a new British plan for a glorified free trade zone. those visions are just views from the margins packaged as majority opinion.
Et mere farverigt Europa
We need others to follow your example and your ambition for a prosperous and open Europe."
Fra gruppen UEN var det medformanden Brian CROWLEY (UEN, IRL), der havde ordet.
Brian CROWLEY (UEN, IE) said "Too often the views and opinions of the European Parliament are kept to the sidelines as regards what kind of discussion debate takes place at intergovernmental level.
Han var glad for, at Zapatero anså Europa-Parlamentet for at være en borgernes repræsentant - med mandat til at tale på borgernes vegne.
Indeed, I was delighted some time ago that when the whole issue of reflection with regard to the Treaty that has now gone and that will no longer be around again, that the Prime Minister decided to regroup the friends of the Community method and call it the ‘friends of the Constitution method’ and to bring those together to try and form a vanguard as regards how things can move forward.
Han var desuden tilfreds med Zapateros initiativ om at invitere en gruppe 'venner af forfatningstraktaten' til at diskutere Europas fremtid.
He saw that the success of that move opened up other doors and opportunities for him in government when he needed support with regard to immigration and other developments.
Crowley kom med en appel til den spanske premierminister om fortsat at gøre sin indflydelse gældende - også i Latinamerika.
If I could make an appeal as regards the future of Europe to the Prime Minister today.
Monica FRASSONI (Verts/ALE, IT) var glad for Zapateros positive tone: "Det har vi savnet i den institutionelle krise, vi har været igennem," sagde hun.
Monica FRASSONI (Greens/EFA, IT) praised Mr Zapatero for his "European-minded position and courage of organising a referendum" on the European Constitutional Treaty.
Francis WURTZ (GUE/NGL, FR) kaldte Zapateros tale for 'smuk' og 'humanistisk', og med et ideal for Europas fremtid.
Francis WURTZ (GUE/NGL, FR) thanked the Spanish Prime Minster for a "wonderful speech.
Men han understregede, at det Sociale Europa, som Zapatero talte om, først skal til at bygges op nu.
In many ways, he said, it was a humanist speech, as well as something which is idealistic for the future.
"Vi har lige nu en ramme, der fører til, at de forskellige socialmodeller konkurrerer med hinanden, og trækker hinanden ned," sagde Wurtz.
This would foster competition of social models, tending to lead to a downward spiral in salaries and social rights.
Graham BOOTH (IND/DEM, UK) lagde ud med at kalde Zapatero et 'eksempel' for andre statsledere, fordi han gav spanierne en folkeafstemning om forfatningstraktaten, men undrede sig over, hvorfor han ikke ville gentage folkeafstemningen.
Graham BOOTH (IND/DEM, UK) said: "Prime Minister, It is a pleasure to see you here in Brussels.
Han frygtede, at EU kunne blive verdens første 'post-demokratiske' samfund.
In the event the people of Spain voted overwhelmingly to support the plans.
Mangel på demokratisk kontrol
This of course is key to all our futures.

Godkendelse af Chartret for Grundlæggende Rettigheder
European Parliament approves the Charter of Fundamental Rights and urges UK and Poland to apply it
Chartret for Grundlæggende Rettigheder blev undertegnet og proklameret i Nice den 7. december 2000, og er delt op i seks afsnit om værdighed, friheder, ligestilling, solidaritet, borgerrettigheder og retfærdighed i retssystemet.
The Charter sets out in one place the rights which citizens across the EU already have, for example through the European Convention on Human Rights, or through existing EU law.
Storbritannien og Polen vil have undtagelser i forhold til Chartret.
Its aim is to ensure that EU institutions respect those fundamental rights.
Parlamentet opfordrede indtrængende de to lande til at gøre sig alle mulige bestræbelser på at nå til enighed om chartrets 'ubegrænsede gyldighed'.
The Charter reaffirms existing rights and will apply to all Member States when they implement Union law.
Danske talere
Position of the UK and Poland
Jens Peter BONDE (IND/DEM, DK) sagde under debatten, at EU i stedet for at have sit eget charter skulle blive medlem af Den Europæiske Menneskerettighedskonvention.
There is a UK-specific protocol (see link below) which makes clear that the Charter will:
Det var et forslag, han også frembragte som medlem af konventet, der udarbejdede charteret og konventet, der udarbejdede forfatningstraktaten.
Not extend the powers of any court –UK or European – to strike down UK legislation; and
"Når vi gør chartret juridisk bindende, lukker vi ingen huller.
Not create any new justifiable rights in the UK.
Vi skaber tværtimod en række huller i den beskyttelse, vi har som borgere under vore nationale forfatninger og under de fælles europæiske menneskerettigheder.
For example, it will not create any greater social or economic rights than are already provided in UK law.

Parlamentet vedtager nye regler for TV og skjult reklame
MEPs tighten EU rules on gun ownership
Torsdag afsluttede MEP'erne behandlingen af de nye regler for reklamer i fjernsyn.
MEPs adopted a legislative report which calls for new measures to update a 1991 directive on firearms to bring it into line with a UN Protocol on firearms and to generally update the text.
Der er tale om en moderniseret version af direktivet 'TV uden grænser', der blandt andet sætter regler for, hvor lang tid de europæiske tv-stationer må bruge på reklamer.
The new agreed legislation classifies convertible weapons as firearms, ensure that all firearms sold in the EU are traceable to their owners.
Direktivet vil i fremtiden også gælde for digitalt tv, internet-tv og mobiltv, og som noget nyt er der kommet regler for skjult reklame.
The legislation introduces rules enhancing safety with respect to gun ownership, while not inconveniencing hunters, target shooters and other legitimate owners.
Direktivet sætter minimumsregler for landene, som selv - ligesom Danmark gør nu - kan vælge at vedtage strengere regler.
It ensures clear and coherent marking and maintenance of a database system to aid traceability.
Direktivet 'TV uden grænser' vil i den fornyede version blive omdøbt til at hedde 'Direktivet for audiovisuelle medietjenester', fordi det i fremtiden ikke kun vil dække traditionelt TV, men også for eksempel internet-tv.
The new directive, which will amend the current text passed in 1991, will tackle the criminal use of firearms without inconveniencing legal users of weapons.
Direktivet er oprindeligt fra 1989, og blev opdateret i 1997, og det er det direktiv, der på europæisk plan fastsætter regler for, f.eks. hvor meget tid TV-kanalerne må bruge på reklamer, og at reklamer skal komme i blokke.
The text adopted by the EP is a result of 18 months of work which has led to a first reading compromise with the Council and was adopted with 588 votes in favour, 14 against and 11 abstentions.
Det er også dette direktiv, der kræver, at størstedelen af sendefladen (uden at regne nyheder, reklamer, sport etc.) skal helliges europæiske produktioner, at vigtige nationale begivenheder skal vises på en kanal, som alle har adgang til, og at reklamer for tobak i tv skal være forbudt.
The report, drafted by Gisela Kallenbach (Greens/EFA, DE), broadly endorses a Commission proposal to update the EU's 1991 directive on the "acquisition and possession of weapons", so as to bring it into line with a UN Protocol against the illicit manufacturing and trafficking of firearms, signed by the EC in 2001.
Torsdag kunne MEP'erne afslutte andenbehandlingen med at godkende det kompromis, som Parlamentets ordfører Ruth HIERONYMI (PPE-DE, DE) og regeringernes repræsentanter i Ministerrådet var nået frem til.
Speaking on the first-reading agreement with the Council, Gisela Kallenbach said: "I am convinced that we finally agreed on a good compromise (with the Council), particularly ensuring the rights of legal users of weapons while also tackling the illegal aspects to improve the safety for European Citizens.
På mange områder ændrer direktivet sig ikke.
This result therefore represents a success for the Parliament's negotiating strategy.
Det vil f.eks. stadig være de regler i det land, TV-stationen er etableret i, der gælder, og der er heller ikke noget nyt i forhold til reglerne om adgang til nationale begivenheder af stor interesse.
Arlene McCarthy, Chair of the Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee (PES, Labour, North West UK) said in the debate on 28 November 2007: "I am speaking as a concerned MEP, and not as committee chairwoman.
I forhold til, hvor ofte programmer må afbrydes af reklamer, er der visse ændringer.
I believe that, with this new law on weapons, we can demonstrate to our citizens that Europe can act to tackle the problem of illegal guns.
Hvor TV-film og film ifølge reglerne fra 1997 kun måtte blive afbrudt hvert 45. minut, vil det nu være tilladt at afbryde hvert 30. minut.
We have tough laws in Britain, but without this EU law guns will continue to find their way onto the streets of cities like Manchester and Liverpool."
Denne regel gælder også for nyhedsprogrammer.
The scope of the directive to be enlarged
Børneprogrammer må kun blive afbrudt, hvis de er længere end 30 min. Disser regler gælder ikke for serier og dokumentarudsendelser, der kan afbrydes oftere.
The new directive would cover the possession and the acquisition of firearms but also of their parts and ammunition, including these imported from third countries.
Dog må reklamerne aldrig fylde mere end 12 minutter på en time.
The Directive would as well apply to illicit manufacturing and trafficking of weapons and their essential components.
I de tolv minutter tælles dog ikke tv-stationernes annoncering for egne programmer eller annoncering af sponsoraftaler.
Such weapons have been identified by the police in many Member States as a growing source of firearms for criminals.
I Danmark er det kun tilladt at sende reklamer i blokke og ikke tilladt at afbryde programmerne, med mindre det er sportsprogrammer, hvor der er naturlige pauser.
The rules on acquisition and possession of weapons by individual collectors or officially recognised bodies concerned with the historical and cultural aspects of firearms remain unchanged.
Men da det er reglerne i det land, man sender fra, der gælder, vil TV-stationer, der f.eks sender fra England, skulle følge engelske regler.
The text also says that the directive should cover "selling by means of distance communications" (e.g. via the internet), which should be "strictly controlled" by those Member States who allow it at all.
Adfærdskodeks mod junk-food reklamer
Better marking, details on file for 20 years
De nye regler holder fast i principperne fra de forrige direktiver om beskyttelse af børn og unge i forhold til reklamer.
In order to make weapons traceability more efficient, the text requires the use of alphanumeric symbols.
Reklamer må ikke direkte opfordre børn og unge til at købe eller leje et produkt.
The marking, affixed to an "essential component of the firearm", must include the name of manufacturer, the place and the year of fabrication and the serial number.
Som noget nyt skal medlemslandene og Kommissionen også opfordre medievirksomhederne til at udvikle adfærdskodeks i forhold mod junkfood.
MEPs say that Member States should maintain "a computerised data filing system", including the identification information of each firearm subject to the directive.
Reglerne er nu, at der maksimalt må være 12 minutters reklame i timen, og at der regnet over en dag maksimalt må bruges 15 % af tiden på reklamer.
The MEPs also want to make more detailed the recorded data including type, make, model, calibre, serial number, names and addresses of the supplier and the person acquiring or possessing the weapon.
Ifølge de nye regler vil det kun være reglen om de 12 minutter, der vil gælde.
MEPs also require Member States to exchange information to ensure an efficient application of the directive, with the assistance of a contact group to be set up by the Commission.
Nye regler for produktplacering
Make the live easier for legal users
En af nyskabelserne er reglerne om produktplacering - eller skjult reklame.
The directive will not inconvenience legal users of firearms, such as hunters and target shooters.
Produktplacering er når et produkt - for eksempel en mobiltelefon eller en sodavand - er blevet placeret i en film eller et program mod betaling.
The four category system for classifying firearms is retailed, although several Member States have simplified the system by only using two categories.
Produktplacering bliver i princippet forbudt, men med mulighed for undtagelser i film, serier, sportsprogrammer, underholdningsprogrammer - eller hvis der ikke bliver betalt for det.
These Member States, according with the subsidiary principle, can go further than the directive and keep their stricter classification systems in the national gun law.
Danmarks forbud mod produktplacering vil ikke blive berørt af de nye regler, da det kun er minimumsregler.
The Commission will evaluate the four category system by 2012, with a view to the possibilities to enhance the functioning of the internal market in this area.
Til gengæld vil det blive obligatorisk i programmer, der indeholder produktplacering at anføre det i starten af programmet og efter hver reklameblok.
Member States will no longer be allowed to make acceptance of the European firearms pass conditional upon the payment of any fee or charge.
Myndighederne skal arbejde sammen
Entry into force and implementation
Med Parlamentets godkendelse vil reglerne kunne træde i kraft, lige så snart de bliver offentliggjort i EF-Tidende, hvilket vil ske inden udgangen af året.
Member States would remain free to introduce stricter rules in their national legislation implementing the directive.
Derefter har landene to år til at omsætte direktivet til lov, hvilket betyder, at de senest i slutningen af 2009 vil skulle overholde de nye regler.
The UN Protocol, which Member States have undertaken to implement, requires that certain criminal sanctions are introduced into Member State law.
Indtil da vil de nuværende regler fra 1997 naturligvis gælde.
The directive will contain a reminder of that.
