Parlamentet skal stemme om forslaget torsdag, og Udvalget for Indre Marked foreslår et par opstramninger.
The committee recommends that the Commission propose an action plan to encourage Member States to fulfil their obligation to tackle persistent and emerging transposition and implementation problems in public procurement, focusing on illegal direct awards and late or incorrect transposition.
Kviksølv: Eksport skal forbydes og opbevaringen skal gøres mere sikker
The House will also debate and vote on the banning of exports and the safe storage of metallic mercury .
Europas kamp mod kviksølv fortsætter.
The Environment Committee is tabling a report calling for a proposed ban on exports of mercury to be brought forward to 1 December 2010.
Betænkningen lægger også op til strammere regler for opbevaring.
MEPs in the Budgets Committee urge the Commission to come up with a revised proposal for a regulation for the financing of the EU satellite navigation system.
Minimumsstandarder for retten til supplerende pension
The funding proposal should be made under the co-decision procedure, the resolution says.
Demografiske ændringer og en befolkning, der bliver stadig ældre, gør supplerende pensionsordninger til en vigtigere og vigtigere måde for mange at sikre en ordentlig levestandard, når de bliver ældre.
The report commends the Member States that have reached or exceeded the 0.7% Overseas Development Aid (ODA) / GNI target and those that are increasing their actual aid levels, but regrets that some EU-15 countries have missed the interim 0.33% target by a large margin in 2006.
Et nyt direktiv har til formål at sætte minimumsstandarder for at opnå og bevare rettigheder til supplerende pension, når man skifter job i Europa.
Later, the House will debate the outcome of the recent G8 meeting held in Heiligendamm, Germany after hearing statements from the Council and the Commission.
Ændringer på dagsordenen

Samling den 27. juni i Bruxelles
European Parliament to vote on findings of Equitable Life inquiry
Parlamentet samles den 27. juni i Bruxelles for at markere afslutningen på det tyske formandskab og for at høre om resultaterne af topmødet den 21. og 22. juni.
On 19 June Parliament will debate and vote on the final report by the committee of inquiry into the crisis at the Equitable Life Assurance Society.
Når de mødes i Bruxelles den 21. og 22. juni, skal alle de europæiske stats- og regeringsledere blandt andet tage stilling til, hvad der skal ske i forhold til vedtagelsen af en ny traktat.
The committee has been looking into the role of UK government and regulators in implementing EU insurance law and that of the European Commission in monitoring the implementation of such law.
Det tyske formandskab ønsker på mødet den 21. og 22. juni at kunne blive enige om en køreplan for den regeringskonference, der skal føre til en ny traktat.
Turning to the 'lessons for the future', the report stresses as a general point "the need to foster consumer confidence in pension products" (especially given Europe's ageing population and hence the growing importance of pensions).
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog den 7. juni 2007 en betænkning, hvori MEP'erne ønsker, at der kommer en aftale på plads inden udgangen af 2008, så der ved Europa-Parlamentsvalget i 2009 kan være en ny traktat klar.
The European Commission, according to the report, did not monitor the application of the EU insurance legislation effectively, and should in future be “more proactive” on this front "to ensure that the legislation is producing the required effects".
På mødet i Bruxelles vil den tyske kansler Angela Merkel være til stede sammen med Kommissionsformanden José Manuel Barroso for at diskutere resultaterne af topmødet med MEP'erne.
Committees of inquiry, as provided for in the Maastricht Treaty, allow the European Parliament to investigate alleged contraventions or maladministration in the implementation of Community law.
Mødet vil samtidig være en afslutning på det tyske formandskab.
However, witnesses cannot be compelled to give evidence and in the present case some did not do so.

Vodka-krigen raser
MEPs to call for a complete ban on the cat and dog fur trade in the EU
En forordning med nye regler for mærkning og definition af spiritus har fået vodka-krigen til at blusse op.
“The placing on the market and the import to or export from the Community of fur of cats and dogs and products containing such fur shall be prohibited”, stipulates Article 1 of the draft regulation proposed by the Commission.
For hvornår må man kalde spiritus for vodka?
The committee backed this element of the legislation by a large majority.
Vodka kan teknisk set fremstilles af mange forskellige ingredienser, men i de lande, der traditionelt har produceret vodka, er det på basis af korn, kartofler eller i nogle tilfælde melasse fra sukkerroer.
The report deals with the very broad issue of confidence when using information and communication technologies for e-commerce, information services, digital communication and entertainment; in other words, the report relates to the everyday life of a majority of European consumers and business operators in the 21st century.
Europa-Parlamentets miljøudvalg har været ansvarlig for udformningen af Parlamentets betænkning om den nye forordning om definition og mærkning af spiritus.
MEPs call on the Commission, in addition to seeking to improve the quality of consumer legislation, to focus on developing appropriate rules for cross-border e-commerce in the form of standards to which holders of the European trustmark for cross-border e-commerce would adhere voluntarily.
Kompromiset lægger nemlig op til, at spiritus med betegnelsen vodka kan laves af alt muligt andet end kartofler og korn og stadig blive kaldt vodka.
Against this background, Parliament's Employment and Social Affairs Committee will ask the plenary to approve with amendments a draft directive seeking to facilitate worker mobility within and between EU Member States by laying down minimum standards for acquiring and preserving supplementary pension rights.
Kravet om, hvordan flaskerne skal mærkes, er også mere vage end i det oprindelige forslag fra Miljøudvalget, mener kritikere .
In short, there are huge inconsistencies across the EU, a situation which can create injustices as well as deterring workers from moving to new jobs, especially in other countries.
Miljøudvalget havde foreslået, at traditionel vodka kun skulle kunne laves af korn, kartofler eller sukkermelasse.
In some there are no supplementary pension schemes at all, in some the coverage is quite low, while in others most workers have occupational pensions.
Henvisningen til øl-bæltet skyldtes, at den tyske ordfører Horst Schnellehardt og det tyske formandskab sammen har forhandlet sig frem til et forlig mellem Rådet og Parlamentet.
They also say that if an employee has not acquired vested pension rights when his employment ends, all contributions paid, or their investment value if the worker bears the risk, must be reimbursed.
Interview med Niels Busk om spiritus
Fair treatment of dormant pension rights
Niels Busk har været landbrugsudvalgets ordfører i forhold til forordningen.
The committee also calls for outgoing workers to be allowed to retain their vested pension rights in a scheme.
Landbrugsudvalget har udformet en holdning til betænkningen.
The Commission proposes that workers be able to transfer their vested rights to a new employer.
Han har i sine ændringsforslag på vegne af Landbrugsudvalget lagt vægt på, at forbrugerne skal have klar besked, når vodkaen er lavet af noget andet end kartofler, korn eller eventuelt sukkermelasse fra sukkerroer.
On this issue, MEPs decided that Member States should "endeavour, as far as possible and in particular when introducing new supplementary pensions schemes, gradually to improve the transferability of vested pension rights".
I forhold til det sidste skal det klart fremgå af flasken, at det er fremstillet af sukkerroer, men det må gerne kaldes vodka.
They also ask the Commission to draw up a report, no later than five years after the directive takes effect, on the conditions for transferring capital representing workers' supplementary pension rights.
Han er derfor ikke begejstret for det kompromis, ordføreren for Miljøudvalget, Horst Schnellhardt, har forhandlet igennem med Rådet.
This report should be the basis for proposing any amendments to this directive.
"Jeg er forarget over Miljøudvalgets holdning.
The new regulation drafted by the European Commission is an update of existing legislation.
Han burde være interesseret i at sikre forbrugernes interesser," siger Niels Busk.
Vodka could be made from other ingredients, but this must be indicated in large wording on the label (2/3 of the size of the word 'Vodka').
I det sidste tilfælde skal det klart fremgå på flasken hvad det er lavet af.
However, the size of this label is not specified.
Bliver der brugt alle andre former for ingredienser, bør drikken hedde noget andet.
The Environment Committee voted for existing geographical names to remain valid.
"Jeg har stor respekt for de forskellige regioners særlige produkter, som for eksempel champagne fra Frankrig eller skotsk whisky.
These could be supplemented by additional descriptions provided they are regulated at national or regional level or are included in the technical specifications, such as "single malt" and/or "Highland" for Scotch whisky.
"Whisky-industrien skal ikke kunne bruge 'vodka'-definitionen som en skraldespand for den alkohol, de ikke kan bruge i andre sammenhænge," siger han.
Moreover, said the committee, the addition of sweeteners should be regulated and they should be mentioned on the bottle label.

Alle børn i Europa skal være online
Midway point of MDGs: Member States should honour their promises
Danmark er blandt topscorerne i Europa, når det gælder udbredelsen af computer og hurtige internetforbindelser.
Glenys Kinnock (PES, UK) for the Development Committee will be putting forward an own-initiative report on the midway point of the Millennium Development Goals.
Mens 60 % af de danske husstande har bredbåndsinternet, er det kun i 6 % af de græske hjem, at det er tilfældet.
Italy missed the 0.33% target by wide margin, with its aid in 2006 amounting to only 0.2% of its national income, after a 30% drop in real aid levels.
Europa-Parlamentet skal i næste uge stemme om en betænkning, der ønsker at sikre en europæiske bredbåndspolitik, der kan udbedre disse store forskelle.
Portugal - due to host the EU-Africa Summit during its Presidency in 2007 -, achieved only 0.21% ODA/GNI in 2006.
Filosofien bag betænkningen af Gunnar Hökmark (EPP-DE, SV) er, at jo flere europæere, der har adgang til bredbåndsinternet, jo bedre vil vilkårene for innovation og udvikling være, fordi flere vil kunne gøre brug af alle de muligheder det giver.
The report notes that the worst inflators of aid are Austria (57%), France (52%), Italy (44%), Germany (53%) and the UK (28%).
Det er især i landområder og i områder med svær geografisk beliggenhed, som f.eks. bjergområder og øer, at det halter bagud med de hurtige internetopkoblinger.
Germany, which holds the Presidencies of both the EU and G8, would not have reached the target of 0.33% ODA/GNI without inflating its aid.
I udgangen af 2006 havde 28 % af alle husstande i de 27 EU lande ifølge Eurobarometer adgang til bredbåndsinternet.
The report calls on the Commission and Member States to exclude spending on debt relief from aid reporting, in line with what's been decided in Monterrey in 2002.
Hvor det i Holland og Danmark er meget almindeligt at have bredbånd, er det meget mere sjældent i lande som Grækenland, Cypern, Slovakiet og Rumænien.
European Development Fund and the European Investment Bank
I betænkningen understreger MEP'erne de store muligheder, som øget bredbåndsinternetadgang ville give i et indre marked med næsten 500 millioner borgere.
On the European Development Fund, the EP calls on the Commission to ensure that funds will be available during the probable transitional period (2008–2010), i.e. before the 10th EDF is ratified by all 27 Member States (most likely in 2010).
Det vil give alle regioner nye muligheder og være med til at kunne gøre Europa til en førende videnbaseret økonomi.
The EU could decide to implement new forms of funding MDGs such as through the European Investment Bank (EIB), according to the report.

Økonomiske og handelsmæssige forbindelser EU/Rusland
Mercury: ban exports and imports - and make storage safer
MEP'erne mener, at det kommende samarbejde skal indeholde en energi-dimension, som skal sikre EU's energiforsyninger i forhold til olie og gas.
Parliament's rapporteur on this topic is Dimitrios Papadimoulis (GUE/NGL, EL) and his first-reading report was adopted in committee by 30 votes to 12, with 1 abstention.
EU er langt den vigtigste af Ruslands handelspartnere, og tegner sig for 52,9 % af dets eksport og import.
Numerous scientific studies blame it for cardiovascular and immune-system ailments.
EU er desuden den vigtigste destination for Ruslands eksport af olie og gas.
Mercury use is declining both in the EU and globally.
63 % af Ruslands olieeksport og 62 % af Ruslands naturgaseksport går til EU.
Globally, the main uses of mercury are in small-scale gold mining, the chlor-alkali industry and production of vinyl-chloride monomer, the basis of PVC plastic.
Lukningen af gasledningerne til Ukraine i starten af 2006 og af olie til Litauen i starten af 2007 vejer tungt i EU's forhold til Rusland.
In the EU only the chlor-alkali industry remains a significant user, and it is progressively phasing out the use of mercury-containing cells in its production of chlorine.
Bekymringer over investeringsklimaet
Mining operations ceased there in 2003.
MEP'erne bemærker, at erhvervsklimaet i Rusland i øjeblikket er usikkert på grund af manglerne i retssystemet, men bemærker også, at et russisk WTO-medlemskab vil sende et vigtigt signal til udenlandske investorer og således bidrage til at styrke og diversificere handelsforbindelserne.
However, the owner company, MAYASA, is collecting and trading internationally (mainly to developing countries) the mercury from western Europe's decommissioned chlor-alkali plants, as well as from other sources.
MEP'erne understreger, at EU er åben for investeringer fra Rusland, og de ser det derfor som højst problematisk, at udenlandske virksomheder i naturresourcesektorerne ikke har samme adgang til Rusland.
It is estimated that between now and 2020 some 12,000 tonnes of mercury will become available due to the phasing-out of mercury cells from the EU chlor-alkali industry.
De mener, at dette lovforslag er til skade for Ruslands evne til at tiltrække udenlandske investorer.
The Commission had proposed that the export ban should enter into force on 1 July 2011 but MEPs voted for this date to be brought forward to 1 December 2010.
Ifølge udvalget er det desuden nødvendigt, at det russiske retssystem bliver tilpasset, så de intellektuelle rettigheder beskyttes effektivt, særligt i forhold til at bekæmpe kopi-medicin.
They believe any storage should be temporary, pending the final disposal of the mercury towards which all Member States should be working, notably by setting up financing arrangements which would be funded, in proportion to their production, by the chlor-alkali and other industries.

Liberalisering af postsektoren
Cyprus and Malta heading for euro membership?
Transportudvalget skal mandag aften behandle Kommissionens forslag om liberalisering af posttjenesterne.
The Economics Committee will vote on this issue on Monday evening with a debate and vote in the full Parliament to follow on Wednesday.
Det er et forslag, der har skabt stor modtand i nogle lande, der ønsker at bevare de offentlige postvæsener.
MEPs will also hear statements from the Commission and Council on improving the way the Parliament is consulted.
Kommissionen foreslår, at åbningen af markederne skal kunne finde sted allerede fra den 1. januar 2009, men mange lande ønsker at have længere tid til at omstille markederne.
Parliament’s position is not binding, but the Council cannot act until Parliament has adopted its opinion.
Forud for afstemningen i transportudvalget mandag ser der ud til, at PPE-DE-gruppen og ALDE-gruppen har indgået et forlig, der betyder, at Parlamentet højst sandsynligt vil foreslå, at monopolet på posttjenester skal ende senest den 31. december 2010.
While there is relatively little controversy about the applications from Cyprus and Malta, some MEPs are concerned at the very short period within which they are being asked to react on this occasion and want to ensure this does not set a precedent for decisions on future euro area enlargements.
I forhold til at sikre, at alle områder får omdelt post, foreslår MEP'erne, at man enten kan oprette en fond, som alle postfirmaer skal betale ind til, eller at der skal gives tilladelse til at give statsstøtte for at sikre postomdelingen i alle områder.
The main criteria set out in the treaty for entering the euro area are to have appropriately adapted all the relevant national legislation and to be in line with the convergence criteria covering inflation, national debt, budget deficits and interest rates.

Forbud mod katte- og hundeskind endelig klart
Economic and monetary affairs
Det er efter flere års kamp i Parlamentet, at der nu endelig ligger et forslag fra Kommissionen om at forbyde import af katte- og hundeskind i EU.
MEPs will hold a first reading debate and vote on the EU’s new programme to facilitate cooperation between national tax authorities over the next six years, Fiscalis 2013.
Parlamentet skal stemme om forslaget torsdag, og Udvalget for Indre Marked foreslår et par opstramninger.
At the time of writing, discussions aimed at a first reading compromise with the Council have yet to bear fruit.
Det var billeder af hunde og katte, der blev pelset levende for at deres skind kunne bruges til pelsfrakker, legetøj eller figurer til dyr, der i 2003 fik et rekordstort antal MEP’ere (346 ud af 626) til at skrive under på en erklæring, der opfordrede Kommissionen til at indføre et forbud mod katte- og hundeskind.
Following on from the previous programme, Fiscalis 2013 aims to provide a forum for increasing knowledge and exchange of best practice between national tax authorities, to enhance the fights against fraud and illegitimate trade by strengthening cooperation and mutual assistance, including via computer information exchange systems and to help cut red tape for taxpayers by looking at the optimal balance between controls and the administrative burden they cause.
NGO’ere, der arbejder inden for området, anslår, at omkring to millioner hunde og katte alene i Kina årligt dør for at forsyne det europæiske marked, og det var især de brutale aflivningsmetoder, der fik mange MEP’ere og den tværpolitiske gruppe for dyrevelfærd til at gøre en stor indsats for at sikre et europæisk forbud.
MEPs in the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee gave their views in March, when they amended and adopted a draft report presented by Hans-Peter Martin (NA, AT).
MEP’erne er derfor glade for, at Kommissionen nu ønsker at indføre et generelt forbud mod markedsføring og import og eksport af hunde- og katteskind i EU.
They are proposing a number of changes aimed at enhancing transparency of the scheme, and also want to limit it to EU Member States, where the Commission was proposing to include countries participating in the EU’s Neighbourhood Policy too.
