Mange af de opgaver, der er i lufthavnene er fysisk meget krævende, og derfor er det vigtigt at sikre, at de firmaer som påtager sig opgaverne også sikrer ordentlige arbejdsvilkår," siger Anne E. Jensen.
The new regulation should enter into force in 2008.
De øgede sikkerhedsforanstaltninger i de europæiske lufthavne - blandt andet forbuddet mod at tage væsker med i fly, er også noget af det, der forsinker passagererne.
However, in the interim, it is necessary to amend the existing Regulation 1543/2000 in order to prevent an overlap between the old and the new regulation and to avoid any unnecessary administrative burdens on the Member States and the Commission.
Anne E. Jensens betænkning forholder sig ikke direkte til dette spørgsmål, men det er klart, at det er nøje forbundet med effektiviteten i lufthavnene.
Specifically, this will obviate the present legal obligation on Member States to submit six-year national programmes for the collection and management of data from 2007 to 2012, according to rules that are soon to be replaced.
"Det er noget, der koster meget dyrt for lufthavnene, og er til gene for passagererne.
Instead, transitional programmes covering the years 2007 and 2008 are to be drawn up.
Jeg mener ikke det er den rigtige måde at gøre det på, og håber også, at reglerne vil blive lavet om," siger hun.
The current Commission proposal makes these necessary changes and is consequently supported by the rapporteur, Paulo Casaca (PES, PT), without amendment.
Parlamentet har ved flere lejligheder påpeget dette og krævet at reglerne skal ses efter i sømmene igen.

EP - ugen, Strasbourg, den 24 - 27 september
Plenary Session 24-27 September - Burma, Equality, Dangerous Toys
Strasbourg-samling fra den 24 - 27 september
Burma, energy, equality featured in 2nd September plenary
Et bredt udvalg af emner blev behandlet under Europa-Parlamentets anden september-samling, herunder: Urolighederne i Burma, Ligestilling, farligt kinesisk legetøj, indvandring og energi.
MEPs covered a wide range of topics during the second September plenary sitting in Strasbourg, ranging from a debate on the unrest in Burma to discussion of racial and gender equality, concerns about toys manufactured in China and the third railway package.
Derudover blev tre kandidater valgt til årets Sakharov -pris for tankefrihed.
Outside the plenary the shortlist for the 2007 Sakharov Prize for freedom of thought was announced.
Han var britisk medlem af Gruppen for Det Europæiske Folkeparti (Kristelige Demokrater) og De Europæiske Demokrater, og var især engageret i forhold til forbindelserne til Rusland efter Kommunismens fald.
The second says the Energy Charter Treaty should be the cornerstone of a common European foreign policy on energy and advocates creating a post for a "High Official of Foreign Energy Policy" to co-ordinate EU activities in the field.
Nye ambitioner for vedvarende energi
Monday in plenary: energy, transport feature
Dagens første debat omhandlede en egen-initiativ betænkning af danske Britta Thomsen (PES).
3rd railway package gets the green light The second September plenary began with a report on energy and three on railways.
Betænkningen lægger sig op af EU-landenes mål om, at 20 % af al energi i Europa fra 2020 skal komme fra vedvarende energikilder.
Before the debates, President Hans-Gert Pöttering expressed Parliament's "solidarity and sympathy" with the people of Burma, who are demonstrating against the military government there.
Det er en af de ambitiøse målsætninger, som EU-landene har sat sig for dels at sikre forsyningssikkerheden, men også for at nedbringe udledningen af CO2 i Europa.
Outside the sitting, the shortlist of three finalists for the 2007 Sakharov Prize for freedom of thought was announced.
Britta Thomsen sagde i den forbindelse under debatten mandag eftermiddag: "Jeg har i betænkningen understreget vigtigheden af, at energieffektivitet også bliver tænkt ind i de nationale handlingsplaner.
Mr Pöttering opened the session by commemorating former British MEP (1979-2003) and human rights campaigner Lord (Nicolas) Bethell who died recently.
Jeg mener, at det er grundlæggende, at vi får netop den kobling, fordi det ellers er en ren Sisyfosopgave, hvis vi hele tiden øger vores energiforbrug og samtidig skal nå et relativt mål på 20 % vedvarende energi.
The President asked for a minute of silence for Lord Bethell, who played a leading part in creating the Sakharov Prize, and for two Spanish soldiers killed in Afghanistan on Monday.
De to ting må og skal sammentænkes."
The House agreed to debate the situation in Burma on Wednesday.
Hun fortsatte: "Vi må sikre energiforsyningen, et lavere CO2 udslip og skabelsen af nye jobs baseret på grøn energi."
"Strong political will needed" The first debate was on a report on renewable energy that calls on the Commission to present a proposal for a renewable energy legislative framework before the end of the year.
Hun tilføjede, at biobrændsel skal indgå som en vigtig del af planen om vedvarende energi.
During the March 2007 European summit, member states set a binding target to produce 20% of all the energy consumed in EU from renewable sources by 2020.
EU´s energikommissær, Andris Piebalgs hilste Britta Thomsens betænkning velkommen.
The rapporteur, Danish Socialist Britta Thomsen, underlined the need for a common energy policy.
Han opfodrede til "stærk vilje" fra alles side for at nå Europa-Parlamentets og Kommissionens ambitiøse målsætninger.
"We must achieve security of supply, a reduction of CO2 emissions and the creation of new jobs by means of green energy."
MEP'erne bakkede op om det forlig, der var opnået med Rådet i forhold til de tre dele af pakken om henholdsvis åbning af jernbanemarkedet, passagerernes rettigheder, og certificering af jernbanepersonalet.
However, David Hammerstein (ES, Greens) was concerned that biofuel use could lead to negative consequences for poor countries: "Our desire for biofuels could endanger world food supplies.
Zeng Jinyan og Hu Jia , kinesiske menneskerettighedsforkæmpere: Zeng Jinyan rapporterer dagligt på sin weblog om overtrædelser af menneskerettighederne i Kina, Hendes mand Hu Jia, er en AIDS- og miljøaktivist.
Sakharov Shortlist The three finalists for this year's Sakharov Prize for freedom of thought are: Sudanese human rights attorney Salih Mahmoud Osman, deceased Russian journalist and human rights activist Anna Politkovskaya and Chinese human rights defenders Zeng Jinyan and Hu Jia.
Overrækkelsesceremonien finder sted den 11. december i Strasbourg.
The award ceremony will take place in Strasbourg on 11 December.
Under mandagens samling blev der både debatteret energi og transportpolitik.
The shortlist was announced during a joint meeting of the Foreign Affairs and Development Committee.
Han var medlem af Parlamentet indtil 2003.
Post briefing
Nye ambitioner for vedvarende energi
Tuesday in plenary; Toy safety, foreign energy policy, sugar
Det er en af de ambitiøse målsætninger, som EU-landene har sat sig for dels at sikre forsyningssikkerheden, men også for at nedbringe udledningen af CO2 i Europa.
Discussing toy safety , in the context of recent worries about Chinese manufactured toys, MEPs urged clear standards and information.
Disse ambitiøse målsætninger kræver en del konkrete tiltag, og Parlamentet mener, at en forudsætning for at nå op på 20 % vedvarende energi er, at energien bliver udnyttet bedre end i dag og at målet om at få en 20 % forbedring af energieffektiviteten bliver opfyldt.
British Conservative Malcolm Harbour said, "Consumers are entitled to more and better information," while Dutch ALDE member Toine Manders said "If we do not reach 100% safety, then at least we must reach 100% accountability."
Jeg mener, at det er grundlæggende, at vi får netop den kobling, fordi det ellers er en ren Sisyfosopgave, hvis vi hele tiden øger vores energiforbrug og samtidig skal nå et relativt mål på 20 % vedvarende energi.
Toy safety is currently covered by the Toy Directive, which leaves it to makers and importers to ensure that products are safe and the authorities informed if there is a problem.
De to ting må og skal sammentænkes."
Enforcement is at a national level.
EU´s energikommissær, Andris Piebalgs hilste Britta Thomsens betænkning velkommen.
Non-attached British MEP, Jim Allister approached the issue from another angle.
Pilar Ayuso (EPP-ED, Spanien): "Min gruppe er enig i, at det er nødvendigt med nye investeringer i energisektoren for at gøre nye energiformer mere kompatible med gamle former for energi...
“If we had not decimated our own manufacturing industry by punitive regulation, then maybe now we would not be so dependent on China."
Vi opfodrer medlemslandene til at nå dette mål via investeringer og bedre brug af vedvarende energi."
Read more details of the debate via the link below Should the EU have a common foreign energy policy?
Zbigniew Kuźmiuk (UEN, Polen) kritiserede EU for ikke at have en fælles energipolitik og henviste til Frankrigs og Tysklands negative attitude på området."
The own-initiative report by Polish conservative Jacek Saryusz-Wolski looks at ways to face challenges to energy security.
Willem Schuth (ALDE, Tyskland): "Biobrændsel ser ud til at indtage en central rolle i energidebatten, men det bør ikke lede til konkurrenceforvridning."
It advocates a common foreign policy for energy based on the principles of diversification, unity in defending EU's interests ,solidarity and strengthening cooperation between partners; transit and consumer countries based on reciprocity.
Bedre rettigheder til togpassagerer
"The EU has to be determined, active and united" he said.
Parlamentet kunne efter lange seje forhandlinger med Rådet lægge sidste hånd på den tredje jernbanepakke.
EP wants sweetners to help stop sugar production The European Commission wants the EU sugar industry to cut production by 6 million tonnees by 2010.
I de tilfælde skal Kommissionen fremlægge et lovgivningsmæssigt forslag vedrørende det omtalte personale.
If the industry can't make the cuts, then the Commission plans to impose "linear quotas".
Anna Politkovskaja (afdød), russisk journalist og menneskerettighedsaktivist.
The latest reform follows failed 2006 plans to cut prices and production.
Overrækkelsesceremonien finder sted den 11. december i Strasbourg.
EU ministers have the final say over sugar reform and are expected to reach a common position later this week.
Onsdag under EP-samlingen: Burma, Blue card- ordning og CIA fængsler
Wednesday in plenary: MEPs focus on Burma, Immigration, illegal renditions
Blåt kort til immigranter?
Blue card for immigrants?
Parlamentet peger i betænkningen på nødvendigheden af at gøre EU attraktivt som mål for de bedst uddannede indvandrere for at nå målsætningerne i Lissabon-strategien.
Illegal renditions back in Parliament Secret detentions, unlawful inter-state transfers and supposed illegal CIA operations involving EU member states were back on the agenda Wednesday.
Jas Gawronski (EPP-ED, Italien) mindende forsamlingen om, at hans gruppe ikke støttede støttede Fava´s betænkning, og at bevismaterialerne ikke var tilstrækkelige: "Lad os nu stoppe diskussionen om dette emne, som der alligevel ikke er kommet nyt om; lad os overlade undersøgelserne til dommerne og koncentrere os om politiske lovforslag.", sagde han.
However, Jas Gawronski (IT, EPP-ED) recalled his group didn’t support Fava’s report and said evidence was insufficient.
Repræsentanten fra Rådet lagde i sin tale vægt på, at EU ikke har kompetence i relation til de nationale efterretningstjenester, og at nationale undersøgelser allerede er igangsat.
“Let’s stop arguing about this subject on which nothing new has been discovered, let’s leave the investigations to magistrates and let’s concentrate on political proposals.”
Retskommissær, Franco Frattini sagde, at han ventede svar fra Polens og Rumæniens regeringer angående deres nationale undersøgelser.
Franco Frattini said the Commission will present a report on the efficiency of anti-terrorist measures.
Han lovede endvidere, at Kommissionen vil udarbejde en rapport om "antiterrormidlernes" effektivitet.
He said he is still expecting answers from the Polish and Romanian governments about their investigations.
Torsdag under EP - samlingen: Burma, diskrimination og ligestilling
A representative for the Council of Ministers underlined that the EU doesn’t have competences on secret services surveillance, and that national investigations are ongoing.
"Mand og kvinde i samme båd…" Burma var endnu en gang på dagsordenen, da MEP´erne fulgte onsdagens debat op med vedtagelsen af en fælles erklæring, der fordømmer den burmesiske regerings overgreb mod demonstranterne.
In the fight against terrorism, “our strongest weapons are our values and principles,” he said.
Derudover debatterede og vedtog Parlamentet to betænkninger om ligebehandling.
"Dys" problems Late Wednesday EU strategy on "dys" problems (dysphasia, dyspraxia, dyslexia, dyscalculia or attention deficit disorder, etc), which concern more than 10% of children, were under debate.
Den ene og racistisk og etnmisk diskrimination, og den anden om ligestilling mellem nd og kvinder.
Thursday in plenary: Burma vote, racial and ethnic discrimination, gender equality
Parlamentet vedtog torsdag en række vidtrækkende krav til både den burmesiske regering og til det internationale samfund herunder Kina i forhold til at få en ende på volden.
MEPs also discussed and adopted two reports on equality of treatment; the first one on racial and ethnic discrimination and the second on equality between women and men in the EU.
MEP´er opfordrer til fuld implementering af
MEPs urge full implementation of racial equality directive
I en initiativ-betænkning af Kathalijne Maria Buitenweg's (Greens/EFA, NL), som blev vedtaget med stort flertal torsdag, ser Parlamentet nærmere på den race-mæssige og etniske ligebehandling, og konstaterer, at der stadig er plads til forbedringer på en række områder.
Kathalijne Maria Buitenweg's (Greens/EFA, NL) own-initiative report on racial and ethnic discrimination was adopted by a large majority in Thursday's plenary.
Landene er ikke gode nok til at gennemføre lovgivningen korrekt, og det halter også med at registrere diskriminationen.
During the debate most MEPs welcomed the report urging EU countries to fully implement the Racial Equality Directive.
Under debatten slog Magda Kósáné Kovács (PSE, Ungarn) til lyd for at gøre op med de etniske skillelinier: "Et trist kendetegn ved det 21 århundrede er at skillelinierne fra de to verdenskrige stadig er i live, sårene er ikke helet".
Mr Buitenweg pointed out that "fewer than half of the Member States have implemented the directive properly".
Neena Gill (PSE, Storbritannien).
It was due to be implemented in July 2003.
Sophia in 't VELD (ALDE, Holland) udtrykte bekymring over den stadig mere skingre tone i udlændingedebatterne I Europa, mens Tatjana Ždanoka, (Verts/ALE, Letland) fokuserede på diskrimination af sprogminoriteter.
The directive was revolutionary at the time of its adoption as it did not limit protection against discrimination to the area of employment, but also social security, education and access to housing.
MEP’erne opfordrer medlemslandene til hurtigst muligt at gennemføre al EU-lovgivningen i forhold til bekæmpelse af forskelsbehandling, herunder positive særforanstaltninger, der skal sikre ligestilling i praksis.
British Socialist Neena Gill and others referred to insensitivity to ethnic customs and religious practices : "Since 2004 there are a number of Sikh boys who have been expelled from schools in France for not removing their turban...At Brussels airport Sikh men are regularly asked to remove their turbans, which is considered a major insult."
De understreger, at reglerne i mange lande ikke er gennemført korrekt, og opfordrer til, at landene skal udarbejde nationale handlingsplaner for at sikre en rigtig håndtering af alle former for forskelsbehandling.
Latvian green Tatjana Ždanoka spoke about discrimination against linguistic minorities, while Roberta Angelilli an Italian member of the UEN group focused on educational opportunities and access health care.
Ligestilling i 2007 - stadig ikke samme løn
Equality between women and men in the European Union - 2007
I betænkningen, der stiller skarpt på Kommissionens årlige beretning for, hvordan det står til med ligestillingen i Europa, konstaterer MEP'erne, at der ikke er sket de store fremskridt siden sidste år.
They called on EU countries to support the Commission in monitoring the implementation of national measures in order to assess the effectiveness of policies and respect for the principle of equality.

Dispatches from Ukraine
Sidste søndag var der parlamentsvalg i Ukraine, som er en af EU´s vigtigste nabolande.
Last Sunday, Ukraine, one of the European Union's most important neighbours, went to the polls and a delegation from the European Parliament was there to confirm that, aside from a few minor problems, the elections were up to international standards.
Ifølge Europa-Parlamentets valgobservationsgruppe forløb valget i tråd med internationale standarder.
The President and Prime Minister agreed to hold early parliamentary elections in May after a mounting political crisis.
I 2004 vinder Viktor Yanukovich præsidentvalget i Ukraine, hvilket udløser voldsomme protester og demonstrationer, da befolkningen mistænker den siddende politiske magtelite for valgsvindel.
Recent political developments In 2004 Ukraine underwent the " Orange Revolution", when large-scale popular protests broke out after the presidential elections, which were officially won by Viktor Yanukovych, who was backed by the outgoing president.
Omvalget går over i historien som den orange revolution.
However their alliance soon fell apart and the President sacked the Tymoshenko government in September 2005.
Jusjtjenko frygter, at det nye parlament vil underminere hans kompetencer som præsident, og i april 2007 udskriver han nyvalg til parlamentet.
Amid concerns that an increased majority would allow Mr Yanukovych to reject presidential vetoes, make changes to the constitution, and impeach the president, President Yushchenko dissolved parliament on 2 April and called early elections.
Denne beslutning bliver tolket som ulovlig af det ukrainske parlament, hvilket udløser en politisk forfatningskrise.
In a July resolution, the Parliament called for the adoption of political reforms, a fight against corruption and a reform of the civil service.
Jusjtjenko enes med premierminister Janukovitj om at afholde parlamentsvalg den 30. september 2007.
It subsequently sent an observation team to monitor the re-run election.
Det er dette parlamentsvalg, der danner rammen om dette fokus.
The EP was among the first of President Yushchenko's foreign trips.
Tæt løb under parlamentsvalget i Ukraine
Ukrainian elections in line with international standards - EP Delegation
En ældre ukrainsk kvinde afgiver sin stemme Ved søndagens parlamentsvalg i Ukraine var der en valgdeltagelse på 63 %, og ifølge Europa-Parlamentets valgobservationsgruppe forløb valget i tråd med internationale standarder.
Turnout around 63% Ukraine's elections on Sunday attracted around 63% of the population and were mostly in line with international standards, according to the European Parliament and other parliamentary delegations observing the elections.
Ifølge uafhængige meningsmålinger er valgresultatet følgende: Premierminister Viktor Yanukovych's Parti for regionerne fik 34,36 % af stemmerne, Yulia Tymoshenko's "Tymoshenko Block" 30,72 % og Præsident Viktor Yushchenko's parti Vores Ukraine 14,16 %.
On Friday, according to the latest figures from the Central Election Commission of Ukraine, after 99.98% of the ballots have been counted, the results are as follows: Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych's Party of Regions has 34.36%, Yulia Tymoshenko's "Tymoshenko Block" 30.72%, President Viktor Yushchenko's Our Ukraine/Self Defence Block has 14.16% and the Communist Party 5.39%.
Noget overraskende kommer to mindre partier også ind, nemlig kommunistpartiet med 5,39 % og Folkepartiet med tidligere parlamentsformand Vladimir Litvin med 3,1 %.
Results to trust?
Parlamentsvalget er af de fleste uafhængige observationsgrupper blevet betegnet som ”i tråd med internationale standarder”, hvilket kan være første skridt på vejen mod et mere stabilt demokrati i Ukraine.
The elections are seen as mainly in line with international standards, which could help create a stable environment for building a new government.
EP-delegationens formand, Adrian Severin sagde umiddelbart efter at valgresultatet var blevet kendt: “Valgresultatet viser, at samfundet er meget splittet, og derfor bliver samarbejdet mellem det parlamentariske flertal og oppositionen ekstremt vigtigt for at undgå en ny politisk krise.”
However, the head of the EP delegation Adrian Severin said: "The results show that the society is dramatically split therefore cooperation between majority and opposition is extremely important to avoid a new crisis."
Han opfordrede alle partierne til at anerkende valgresultatet og nå til enighed om en ny politisk dagsorden.
He encouraged a constructive post­-electoral approach and urged the main political parties to recognize the outcome of the elections and to agree to a national political agenda.
Valgdagen De 14 MEP´er der deltog i Parlamentets observationsgruppe var spredt udover forskellige regioner i landet, hvor de evaluerede stemmeforholdene.
"E-day" The 14 MEPs were deployed to different regions and visited a number polling stations to check voting conditions.
Severin besøgte fagforeningernes hovedkvarter, hvor han så Præsident Yushchenko afgive sin stemme.
Mr Severin visited the House of Trade Unions where he saw President Yushchenko vote, Kyiv's Music Academy and even a remand prison - prisoners have the right to vote in Ukraine.
Severin betegnede valget som ”afslappet og afdramatiseret” med et ”godt samarbejde mellem de forskellige observatører og stemmekomiteer.”
Commenting on polling, Mr Severin said the "atmosphere was relaxed and de-dramatized...good cooperation between different observers and voting committees" However, there were a few problems.
Milan Horáček fra De Grønne meldte om sprogproblemer i Crimea, hvor flere af den ældre genration er russisktalende, og derfor havde problemer med at forstå stemmeprocedurerne.
Polish liberal Grażyna Staniszewska expressed concern over the political neutrality of cars driving around encouraging citizens to vote in Donetsk.
Endelig rapporterede nogle uafhængige NGO´er om stemmelister, der ´muligvis´ ikke var helt fine i kanten.
In addition, some non-governmental monitoring organisations reported that voting lists might not be completely reliable.
Præsidenten havde forudsagt et tæt valg Forud for valget havde Severin mødt Ukraines præsident, Yushchenko.
President had predicted tight result Mr Severin and the heads of 3 other parliamentary delegations met President Yushchenko ahead of the election.
