Israel skal sikre den frie bevægelighed for personer og varer ved Rafah i overensstemmelse med aftalen om bevægelighed og adgang, mener MEP'erne, der opfordrer Rådet, Javier Solana, og Kommissionen til at stå ved deres fulde ansvar for aftalens gennemførelse.
MEPs call on the Council, the High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy and the Commission to face up to their full responsibility on the implementation of this Agreement.
Hvis ikke alle palæstinenserne inddrages i de løbende forhandlinger, får vi ingen fred", sagde Margrete Auken, der heller ikke fandt meget trøst i meldingerne fra Kommissionen og Rådet under debatten onsdag aften.
MEPs call on the Council and the Commission to continue to guarantee, together with the international community, essential humanitarian aid for the Palestinian population, with special regard to the specific needs of particularly vulnerable groups.
"Efter debatten med Ministerrådet og Kommissionen i går er det svært at være optimistisk: Israel og USA's højrefløj bestemmer, EU betaler," sagde Margrete Auken efter debatten.
Finally, the House urges the Council and the Commission to ensure, in compliance with the Association Agreements with Israel and with the Palestinian National Authority, that international humanitarian law and human rights are fully respected in the area, including by non-state actors, in order to preserve the necessary humanitarian space.

Modtagerne af landbrugsstøtte bør offentliggøres
Identifying farm aid beneficiaries to strengthen public support for the CAP
Uddelingen af landbrugsstøtten skal være mere gennemsigtig.
European taxpayers view the management of EU farm aid as unfathomable and riddled with flaws, which undermines the legitimacy of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).
I 2006 besluttede EU, at navnene på modtagerne af landbrugsstøtte skulle offentliggøres.
In 2006 the European Union decided to make public the identities of recipients of aid granted under CAP.
I marts måned i år foreslog Kommissionen at ændre på den forordning, der har med finansieringen af landbrugsstøtten at gøre for at gennemføre dette initiativ i hele EU og for at definere det nye system mere præcist.
Last March, the Commission proposed amending the regulation governing the financing of the CAP, with the aim of putting this initiative on transparency into effect throughout the EU and also defining its scope more precisely.
Det nye system skal blandt andet også stramme op på reglerne for sanktioner, hvis kontrolsystemerne i medlemslandene ikke lever op til reglerne.
The proposal also seeks to tighten up the rules on penalties for any shortcomings in the Member States' control systems.
I en hørings-betænkning af Jorgo CHATZIMARKAKIS (ALDE, DE), er Parlamentet tilfreds med de længe ventede foranstaltninger.
In a consultation report by Jorgo CHATZIMARKAKIS (ALDE, DE) the MEPs stress that Parliament has been eagerly awaiting these measures.
Parlamentet ønsker, at alle nationale lister af modtagere af den direkte landbrugsstøtte i medlemslandene kan blive offentliggjort på Internettet, og at man skal lave links fra Kommissionens hjemmeside til hjemmesiderne for de udbetalingsorganer, der udbetaler pengene i medlemslandene.
The European Parliament would like all national lists of recipients of EU direct farm aid to be published on the Internet and for links to be created from the Commission's website to websites of the paying agencies in the Member States.
Indtil videre har tretten medlemslande gjort online-registre tilgængelige for offentligheden gennem Europa.eu - hjemmesiden.
Currently thirteen Member States have set up on-line registers accessible to the public via the Europa website.
Hvis der er tale om virksomhedsdrevne landbrug mener MEP'erne, at navnene på direktørerne og investorerne skal offentliggøres.
In the case of company-run farms, MEPs call for the names of the directors and investors to be published.
MEP'erne understreger desuden, at det er vigtigt at sikre beskyttelsen af personlige oplysninger i selve forordningen og ikke blot i gennemførelsesforanstaltningerne.
At the same time, MEPs highlight the need to include provisions on data protection in the Council regulation itself, and not just in its implementing arrangements.
For eksempel skal de personer, som får offentliggjort deres oplysninger, have besked først, og de personer, som vil bruge oplysningerne, skal logge ind.
For example, there should be advance warning to the individuals concerned before their data are published and people consulting or using the data should be required to register first.
Grønt lys for 'Open Sky' -aftale
MEPs give green light to the EU-US Open Sky agreement
Torsdag vedtog Parlamentet med stort flertal at give grønt lys for den aftale mellem EU og USA om det fælles luftrum, som blev underskrevet den 30. april 2007.
The European Parliament gives its green light to the EU-US aviation agreement which was signed at the EU-US summit of 30 April 2007 and which the Council endorsed and decided to apply provisionally as from 30 March 2008.
Parlamentet godkender dermed indgåelsen af aftalen, som skal være med til at skabe et samlet luftrum, hvor EU og USA giver hinandens flyselskaber ret til at overflyve hinandens territorier uden landing, og giver hinandens flyselskaber lov til at flyve frit mellem medlemslandene og USA.
• A unilateral granting by the United States to the EU of the so-called '7th Freedom rights for Passengers' to a number of non-EU European countries, i.e. the right for Community airlines to operate flights between a city in the United States and a city in these European countries.
Rådet besluttede, at aftalen skulle træde i kraft den 30. marts 2008.
• Rights in the area of ownership, investment and control of US airlines by EU investors.
Lufttransporten mellem EU og USA er i dag underlagt bilaterale aftaler mellem de enkelte medlemsstater og USA.
Air services between the EU and US presently operate on the basis of bilateral agreements between individual Member States and the US.
Disse bilaterale aftaler indeholder bestemmelser, som ifølge en afgørelse fra EF-Domstolen fra november 2002 er i modstrid med fællesskabslovgivningen.
These bilateral agreements contain provisions that the European Court of Justice ruled in November 2002 to be incompatible with Community law.
Derfor blev det besluttet at skabe et nyt retsgrundlag for luftfartsforbindelserne mellem EU og USA, og forhandlingerne om en luftfartsaftale mellem Det Europæiske Fællesskab og dets medlemsstater på den ene side og Amerikas Forenede Stater på den anden side blev gennemført af Europa-Kommissionen med mandat fra Rådet, afgivet i juni 2003.
Therefore it was decided to create a new legal framework for EU-US aviation relations and negotiations on an Air Transport Agreement between the European Community and its Member States, on the one hand, and the United States of America, on the other hand, were conducted by the European Commission under a mandate received from the Council in June 2003.
Ifølge dette mandat var målet at skabe et åbent luftfartsområde mellem EU og USA, så der oprettes et fælles marked for lufttransport mellem EU og USA, hvor investeringer kan flyde frit, og hvor europæiske og amerikanske luftfartsselskaber kan tilbyde luftfartstjenester uden restriktioner, herunder på begge parters hjemmemarkeder.
This mandate set the objective of establishing an Open Aviation Area (OAA) between the EU and US, creating a single market for air transport between the EU and US in which investment could flow freely and in which European and US airlines would be able to provide air services without any restriction, including in the domestic markets of both parties.
Lufthavnene skal være mere effektive
MEPs call for' master plan' for enhanced airport capacity
MEP'erne lægger i betænkningen vægt på, at lufthavnskapaciteten skal udnyttes ordentligt, og at der skal være en mere effektiv ground handling (f.eks. bagagehåndtering, brændstofpåfyldning, catering etc.).
More than 60 airports would then be unable to handle the typical busy hourly demand without generating delays or unaccommodated demand (3.7 million flights a year would then be unaccommodated).
Selvom planlægningen af den nye infrastruktur er medlemslandenes ansvar, beder Parlamentet EU-Kommissionen om inden 2009 at komme med en overordnet plan for øget lufthavskapacitet i Europa for at fremme og koordinere alle de nationale og grænseoverskridende initiativer til at udbygge lufthavne til international trafik, og til at udnytte de eksisterende kapaciteter bedre.
The European Parliament therefore calls for a "master plan" for enhanced airport capacity in order to promote and better coordinate any national and cross-border initiative for building new airport capacities as well as making better use of existing capacities.
Fremme af miljøvenlig vækst
MEPs stress that adequate airport capacity and efficient ground handling and use of capacity are vital to the European economy and must be ensured.
På trods af, at flytrafikken miljømæssigt har forbedret sig, understreger MEP'erne, at væksten i flytrafik har resulteret i en stærk stigning i den samlede mængde drivhusgasemissioner, der kommer fra denne sektor (+ 100 % i forhold til 1990), og at den tætte trafik i lufthavnene er en betydelig faktor til dette.
The shortage of capacity and the increase in demand for flights will probably lead to demand for new major airports (up to 10 according to a Eurocontrol study) and medium-sized airports (up to 15 according to Eurocontrol).
MEP'erne minder også om, at væksten inden for lufttransporten skal følges op af tekniske og lovgivningsmæssige ordninger, der begrænser omkostningerne, og de glæder sig i den forbindelse over Kommissionens initiativ til at tage luftfarten med i EU's ordning for handel med emissioner.
Although the planning of new infrastructure remains within the competence of the Member States, the House calls on the Commission to present before 2009 a master plan for enhanced airport capacity in Europe, in order to promote and better coordinate any national and cross-border initiative for building new airport capacities dedicated to international traffic and to make better use of existing capacities.
Dog mener Parlamentet, at der i forhold til udledningen af drivhusgasser også skal ses på, hvordan man kan forbedre EU's konkurrenceevne inden for mere bæredygtig lufttransport, som allerede nu er truet af den hurtige udvikling i af store lufthavne i EU's naboregioner.
Members took the view that only the cohabitation of various airport models according to national specificities (major hubs or regional airports through point-to point travels) will enable the EU to fulfil its need in this field.
Sikring af ordentlige arbejdsforhold i forhold til ground handling
Promoting environmentally-friendly growth
Prognoser viser, at mere end 60 europæiske lufthavne i 2025 vil være ude af stand til at klare de travle perioder uden forsinkelser eller aflysninger.
A more efficient use of airport capacity is therefore vital.
MEP´er: Vi bør handle nu i forhold til klimaforandringerne
MEPs told "no rewind" button on climate change ahead of post Kyoto talks
Is fra Ilulissat gletscheren i Grønland falder ned i havet
Greenland's Ilulissat Glacier melts - Oct 2006
Spørgsmålet om hvad der skal afløse den nuværende Kyoto-aftale var genstand for en offentlig høring den 4. oktober i Europa-Parlamentets Midlertidige Udvalg om Klimaforandringer.
With the Kyoto limits on greenhouse gases due to expire in 2012, the debate on what should replace them came to Parliament's Climate Change Committee on Thursday 4 October.
Repræsentanter fra USA, Kina, Japan og FN fik mulighed for at give deres mening til kende.
A panel of experts from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as well as representatives from the US, China and Japan set out their views on how to deal with the problem.
Det er nu, at de afgørende beslutninger skal træffes.
The UN experts told MEPs that to avert catastrophic climate change temperature increases must not rise by more than 2 degrees.
Så klart var budskabet fra en lang række talere under en offentlig høring om global opvarmning, der fandt sted den 4. oktober i Europa-Parlamentet.
The debate was ahead of a UN meeting in Bali in December on a post-Kyoto future.
Ifølge eksperter på området, må Jordens temperatur højst stige med 2 garders celsius, hvis den globale opvarmning skal holdes under kontrol.
According to the UN panel, achieving this would mean halting increases of emissions by 2015.
John Aston, der er ekspert i klimaspørgsmål for det britiske udenrigsministerium, sagde under høringen: "Vi kan ikke skrue tiden tilbage.
The barrier of a 2 degree increase would also mean reducing levels of emissions between 50% (globally) and 85% (for industrialised countries) below the 1990 level by 2050.
Vi er nødt til at ramme rigtig første gang… Klimaforandringer er ikke en langsigtet problemproblemstilling.
A central theme stressed by the main UN speakers was the need to see climate change as a current rather than a future problem.
Vi er nødt til at skifte perspektiv.
We have to get it right the first time".
Det er et problem, der bør løses hurtigst muligt."
He went on to say that "it's today's problem, not tomorrow's”.
Den trettende konference for de lande der har underskrevet Kyoto-aftalen finder sted fra den 3 - 14. december.
On 3 December the island of Bali in Indonesia will see a meeting of the current signatories of the protocol.
Konferencen vil formentlig munde ud i en ny klimastrategi efter Kyoto-protokollens udløb i 2012.
It will mark an important first step in negotiating the post Kyoto international framework on emissions.
På vej mod en fremtid uden kulstof
Lack of will not wisdom a problem
"Enhver diskussion om hvad der skal ske efter 2012 må fokusere på konkrete resultater.
Mr Ashton said that "any discussion on post-2012 has to be fixated on the outcome.
Det vi taler om, er at opbygge en verdensøkonomi, som ved udgangen af dette århundrede er fri for kulstoffer", sagde Astohn.
What we are talking about is an effort to build a world economy in energy which, by the end of the century, should be zero-carbon."
Han understregede, at det ikke var videnskabeligt know-how der manglede, men derimod politisk vilje til at gennemføre de nødvendige reformer.
The key problem "is not a lack of wisdom...but a lack of political will...to build the appropriate policies" necessary to tackle climate change.
Tokyo, Beijing og Washington
Views from Washington, Beijing, Tokyo
Japans ambassadør Takekazu Kawamura sagde, at den japanske strategi efter 2012 vil være baseret på 3 principper:
The US ambassador to the EU - Boyden Gray - said that "economic growth, energy security, and climate change must be pursued in an integrated way".
De mest forurenede lande bør indgå i en ny aftale
all major emitters should participate in the agreed framework.
Løsningerne skal være fleksible
solutions "must be flexible and diverse"
Der skal være sammenhæng mellem klimabeskyttelse og økonomisk vækst
reconcile "climate protection and economic growth".
Udvikling af nye innovative teknologier samt et fald på 50 % i udledningen af drivhusgasser i 2050 var kernen i Japans klimaudspil.
The ambassador said that the "Cool Earth 50" project which aims at the development and dissemination of innovative technologies as well as cutting emissions 50% by 2050 are to be the core of Japan's response to global warming.
Ronglai Zhong fra den kinesiske delegation foreslog en model for teknologi-transfer, der kunne gøre udviklingslandene i stand til at benytte miljøvenlige teknologier.
In particular he noted the need for a mechanism for technology-transfer to allow developing countries access to environmentally friendly technologies.
Han understregede, at Kina havde opnået "gode resultater" på klimaområdet, og at Kina ydermere ville omstrukturere sin økonomi, øge anvendelsen af "grønne teknologier", reducere sit CO2-udslip samt øge anvendelsen af vedvarende energikilder med 10% i 2010 og 16% i 2020.
Having already reached "great results" in tackling climate change, Beijing would further restructure its economy to promote green technologies, reduce CO2 emissions, and to increase share of renewable energy to "10 % by 2010 and 16 % by 2020" he said.
Den amerikanske ambassadør , Boyden Gray fokuserede på tekniske løsninger.
Unlike the EU, the US is advocating "a voluntary approach, consisting of national commitments written into national legislation.
Han fremhævede USA´s investeringer i forskning relateret til vedvarende energikilder."
Mr De Boer noted that companies are often more vocal than governments in driving forward climate change agenda.
Vi gør det faktisk betydeligt bedre, end vi ofte får skyld for", sagde han.
"In order to invest, you need to give 'long, loud and legal' policy guidelines."
I modsætning til EU ønsker USA "En frivillig tilgang, baseret på nationale forpligtigelser nedfældet i national lovgivning", sagde de Boer, der understregede vigtigheden af bindende internationale aftaler.
The point was echoed by several speakers who urged Europe to show leadership.
Nick Cambell fra ICC (International Chamber of Commerce) opfordrede EU til at pålægge en fleksibel tilgang, for at få de andre lande til at følge trop.
This would be also in the interest of the European project, with citizens expecting it to deliver on climate and energy security, was pointed out.
Denne opfordring blev bakket op af flere talere, der ønskede, at EU skulle vise globalt lederskab på klimaområdet, herunder næstformanden for Parlamentets Miljøudvalg, Satu Hassi (De Grønne/ Den Europæiske Fri Alliance), der fastslog, at den bedste måde at inspirere andre lande er ved "selv at praktisere det vi prædiker."
Satu Hassi the Finnish Green MEP who is vice-chair of the Environment Committee said that "the best way for Europe to encourage other countries in international negotiations is to practice what we preach".
Høringen om klimaforandringer var blot et blandt flere møder om global opvarmning, der fandt sted i Parlamentet i sidste uge.
The week also included a joint parliamentary meeting with MEPs and national deputies on climate change and a hearing on desertification by Parliament's Development committee.
Den trettende konference, for de lande der har underskrevet Kyoto-aftalen, løber af stablen fra den 3 - 14. december 2007.

MEP´er sætter fokus på lobbyisme i en ny betænkning
MEPs put EU lobbying under spotlight ahead of report
Fokus på lobbyisme i EU
Staircase to the lobby: EP in Brussels
Er lobbyisme en naturlig del af den demokratiske beslutningsproces, eller underminerer lobbyisterne de demokratiske idealer?
Lobbying: a normal part of the democratic process or something that exerts more power than it should?
Udvalget for Konstitutionelle Anliggender mødes i eftermiddag for at diskutere lobbyisme forud for en parlamentsbetænkning om emnet.
This afternoon MEPs in the Constitutional Affairs Committee will meet to discuss lobbying ahead of a report Parliament is preparing on the issue.
Mange af lobbyisterne er NGO´er, fagforeninger og arbejdsgiverorganisationer.
Many of the lobbyists are NGOs and pressure groups such as amnesty international.
Ingen gaver, tak!
No gifts allowed!
Ifølge Europa-Parlamentets nuværende regler skal lobbyister klart og tydeligt identificere sig selv, og det er forbudt at tilbyde gaver til MEP´erne eller andre af Parlamentets ansatte.
At present the Parliament's own Code of Conduct says that lobbyists must clearly state who they represent when dealing with MEPs and staff and refrain from offering any gifts.
I 2007 oprettede Kommissionen et frivilligt register, hvor lobbyister klart og tydeligt kan tilkendegive hvem de er, samt hvem der finansierer dem.
Early in 2007 the European Commission decided to set up a voluntary register where lobbyists declare who they are and how they are funded.
Kommissionen fastslog i en grønbog (en grønbog er et dokument fra Kommissionen, der analyserer spørgsmål og angiver mulige foranstaltninger i EU-regi), at lobbyister er en vigtig del af den demokratiske beslutningsproces.
In a Green paper that proceeded the list the Commission said it saw lobbyists as an important part of the democratic process.
Et af problemerne er, at der ikke eksisterer nogen tal for hvor mange lobbyister, der arbejder i Bruxelles.
Part of the problem is that there are no reliable figures on the number of lobbyists who work in Brussels.
De f leste gæt går på et sted mellem 15.000 og 20.000 personer.
Estimates vary from between 15,000 to 20,000 people who are employed in that way.
Til sammenligning var der i 2005 ca. 34.000 lobbyister registreret i Washington.
As a comparison, in 2005 a survey for the "Washington Post" concluded that over 34,000 lobbyists were registered in the US capital.
Den europæiske kommissær for administrative anliggender, Slim Kallas estimerer, at der er omkring 2.600 interesseorganisationer i Bruxelles.
The European Commissioner for Administrative Affairs Siim Kallas estimates there are 2,600 interest groups established in Brussels.
Kallas deltager i dagens debat om lobbyisme i Parlamentets Udvalg for Konstitutionelle Anliggender.
He will be present on Monday afternoon to put his position to MEPs.
Forskellige virkemidler
Am I being lobbied?
Lobbyisterne forsøger at påvirke de politiske beslutningstagere på flere forskellige måder i deres arbejde.
Face to face meetings with MEPs and Commission officials are just two ways that lobbyists operate.
Det kan både ske i form af personlige møder, afsendelse af breve og e-mails eller via telefonopkald.
They also send letters, emails and make phone calls to people in an effort to make them aware of their concerns.
Kampagner og koalitionsbygning mellem interesseorganisationer er udbredte fænomener i Bruxelles.
Advocacy campaigns and coalition building around issues are two other ways that lobbyist work.
Til december vil MEP´erne i Udvalget for Konstitutionelle Anliggender stemme om en betænkning, der går i dybden med emnet.
In December MEPs on the Constitutional Affairs Committee will adopt a report based on their findings - the full Plenary of Members will vote on it in January next year.
Vi vil forsøge at få et interview i stand med Alex Stubb i løbet af de kommende uger.
We plan to have an interview with Alex Stubb in the coming weeks.

Europa-Parlamentet og Kongressen: Forskelle og ligheder
European Parliament & US Congress
"Vi har mange ideer til, hvordan vi kan uddybe vores forbindelser til hinanden.
We also spoke to some MEPs about how they see the similarities and differences.
Siden 1972 er der blevet arrangeret interparlamentariske møder mellem Europa-Parlamentet og den amerikanske kongres.
German Christian Democrat Elmar Brok is head of delegation for relations with the US.
Det er det ældste og mest intense interparlamentariske partnerskab, som Europa-Parlamentet til dato har været involveret i.
He told us, "after the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, the powers of the European Parliament are proximate to those of the Congress as never before: The EP is co-legislator on 95% of EU law, has the full power of the purse and improved oversight over the European Commission."
