"EU-lovgivningen om forbud mod salg af illegalt tømmer udgør et stort internationalt gennembrud, hvis konsekvenser spænder fra skovene rundt om i verden, der hærges af ulovlig skovhugst, til EU-markedet, hvor træet og trævarerne sælges.
A "Risk Dashboard", based on a set of indicators to be designed by the Commission, is also proposed, with a view to rating the risk levels of individual banks and providing early warning of possible instability.
Vedtagelsen af de skrappe regler ville ikke have været mulig uden det stærke pres fra Europa-Parlamentet."
Each bank would be required to have its own "resolution plan" which would detail the steps to be taken should it run into difficulties, so as to avoid rushed decisions.
Forbud mod tømmer af ulovlig oprindelse
Financial stability fund and resolution unit
Sanktioner og sporbarhed
Next steps
På globalt plan skønnes afskovning som helhed at bidrage med 20% af udledningen af drivhusgasser.
To this end they have to adopt a resolution which must be backed by a majority of MEPs.
Reglerne forventes at træde i kraft i slutningen af 2012 for at tillade trævirksomhederne tid til at tilpasse sig.
Should the Commission decide not to follow this recommendation, it has to give its reasons.

Strengere regler for industrielle udledninger
European Parliament ushers in a new era for bankers' bonuses
CO2-udlening © AFP PHOTO JOEL SAGET/Belga Luftforurening: ekstra tid for visse kraftværker Optimering af miljøpræstationer Klarere regler og renere luft er blandt målene for direktivet om industrielle udledninger, der blev godkendt af Europa-Parlamentet onsdag.
Upfront cash bonuses will be capped at 30% of the total bonus Some of the strictest rules in the world on bankers' bonuses approved Tougher treatment for bailed out banks MEPs on Wednesday approved some of the strictest rules in the world on bankers' bonuses.
Fx skal der gælde strengere grænseværdier for luftforurening, selv om medlemsstaterne vil have en vis fleksibilitet mht. at forlænge fristerne for kraftværker eller, i særlige tilfælde, tilsidesætte reglerne for andre anlæg.
Caps will be imposed on upfront cash bonuses and at least half of any bonus will have to be paid in contingent capital and shares.
Direktivet om industrielle udledninger har til formål at forbedre sundheds- og miljøbeskyttelse, samtidig med at reglerne skal gøres klarere og nemmere at gennemføre.
MEPs also toughened rules on the capital reserves that banks must hold to guard against any risks from their trading activities and from their exposure to highly complex securities.
Direktivet ajourfører og samler syv stykker eksisterende lovgivning, herunder direktivet om store fyringsanlæg og integreret forebyggelse og bekæmpelse af forurening (IFBF).
"Two years on from the global financial crisis, these tough new rules on bonuses will transform the bonus culture and end incentives for excessive risk-taking.
Europa-Parlamentet godkendte aftalen med Rådet med 639 stemmer for, 35 imod og 10 hverken for eller imod.
A high-risk and short-term bonus culture wrought havoc with the global economy and taxpayers paid the price.
Holger Krahmer (ALDE, DE), der er Parlamentets ordfører for lovgivningen, kommenterede:
Since banks have failed to reform we are now doing the job for them", said British MEP Arlene McCarthy (S&D).
Sammenlignet med den nuværende situation giver den nye tekst mere klarhed og bedre chancer for lige vilkår angående miljøkravene til industrianlæg i hele Europa."
Between 40 and 60% of any bonus must be deferred for at least three years and can be recovered if investments do not perform as expected.
Strengere grænser for disse emissioner vil blive indført fra 2016.
Bonuses will also have to be capped as a proportion of salary.
Visse ældre anlæg bliver muligvis ikke nødt til at opfylde målene, så længe de lukker inden udgangen af 2023 eller 17.500 driftstimer efter 2016 alt afhængigt af, hvad der kommer først.
Each bank will have to establish limits on bonuses related to salaries, on the basis of EU wide guidelines, to help bring down the overall, disproportionate, role played by bonuses in the financial sector.
Nyere kraftværker skal dog stadig opfylde 2012-fristen, som gælder for dem.
Finally, bonus-like pensions will also be covered.
Udledninger til luft-, jord- eller vand samt støj og sikkerhedsspørgsmål vil blive taget i betragtning.
This will avoid situations, similar to those experienced recently, in which some bankers retired with substantial pensions unaffected by the crisis their bank was facing.
Men efter pres fra MEP'erne vil det skulle bevises, at omkostningerne ved at implementere de nye regler på grund af tekniske årsager eller lokale omstændigheder ville blive uforholdsmæssigt store i forhold til de miljømæssige fordele.
In particular, the rules provide that no bonuses should be paid to the directors of an institution unless this is duly justified.
Vurderingerne skal gives for at sikre, at reglerne ikke tilsidesættes uden grund.
Capital requirements for stable banks
Holger Krahmer tilføjede: "Det er en europæisk tragedie, at en række forældede kulkraftværker vil have lov til at forurene endnu et årti.
Two other key issues covered by the new legislation are: stricter capital rules on bank trading activities and higher standards for re-securitisations .
Det er også klart urimeligt for de medlemsstater, som ydede en tidlig indsats for at opfylde kravene."
New capital rules for re-securitisations and the trading book will ensure banks properly cover the risks they are running on their trading activity, including for types of investments such as mortgage-backed securities that were central to the crisis.
Den vedtagne tekst vil blive tilgængelig her (klik på 7. juli) http://www.europarl.europa.eu/activities/plenary/ta/calendar.do?language=EN
The rules on bonus provisions will then take effect in January 2011 and those on capital requirements provisions no later than 31 December 2011.
MEP'er opfordrer til forbud mod fødevarer fra klonede dyr
Pay principles for all listed companies
Genmodificeret ©BELGA_Science Ingen mad fra klonede dyr Tidsbegrænset forbud mod nanomaterialer MEP'er har fornyet deres appel om et forbud mod fødevarer fra klonede dyr i en afstemning om novel foods onsdag.
Separately, in a non-legislative resolution drafted by Saïd El Khadraoui (S&D, BE), Parliament calls for remuneration policy principles to be extended to cover all companies listed on stock exchanges.
De krævede også et tidsbegrænset forbud mod fødevarer fremstillet ved hjælp af nanoteknologi, indtil en potentiel sundhedsrisiko er udelukket.
It proposes that listed companies be required to explain their remuneration policies if their directors' pay is deemed not to follow certain principles aimed at removing incentives to take excessive risk or to take decisions based on short-term considerations.
Novel foods - der stammer fra nye produktionsprocesser eller fra mad, der traditionelt kun blev spist uden for EU - er blevet reguleret siden 1997.
The resolution also proposes that shareholders be given greater control over the directors of a listed company.
MEP'erne støttede idag en strømlinet godkendelsesprocedure med en vurdering af risici foretaget af Den Europæiske Fødevaresikkerhedsmyndighed.
Finally, 'golden parachutes' handed to directors in cases of early termination should be limited to the equivalent of two years of the fixed component of the director's pay and severance pay should be banned in cases of non-performance or early departure, says the resolution, which was adopted by 594 votes to 24 with 35 abstentions.
MEP'erne fremhævede især deres bekymringer vedrørende brugen af klonede dyr og nanoteknologi i mad.

Ingen mad fra klonede dyr
MEPs vote to cut illegal timber out of the EU market
I øjeblikket er der ingen EU-regler for specifikt at tillade eller forbyde mejeriprodukter og kød fra klonede dyr.
The new law aims to reduce illegal deforestation and give consumers better assurances about the products they buy.
Kommissionen og Rådet ønsker at disse produkter reguleres efter reglerne for novel foods, men MEP'erne stemte idag for at udelukke disse produkter fra reglerne.
After Parliament overwhelmingly approved on Wednesday an agreement reached with Council, Finnish Green MEP Satu Hassi who took over parliamentary responsibility for this legislation from former MEP Caroline Lucas, said:
I stedet opfordrede MEP'erne til at der udformes ny lovgivning, som eksplicit forbyder fødevarer fremstillet af klonede dyr og disses efterkommere, samt at der i mellemtiden nedlægges tidsbegrænset forbud mod salg af sådanne produkter.
"EU legislation to ban the sale of illegally-sourced timber represents a major international breakthrough, from the forests around the world that are ravaged by illegal logging to the EU market where timber and wood products are sold.
Europa-Parlamentets ordfører for novel foods Kartika Liotard (GUE/NGL, NL) kommenterede:
The tough rules agreed would not have been possible without the strong backing of the European Parliament."
Klonede dyr rammes uforholdsmæssigt meget af sygdomme, misdannelser og for tidlig død.
This will prevent such wood from effectively being laundered once it reaches the EU.
Tidsbegrænset forbud mod nanomaterialer
Member States will be responsible for applying sanctions to operators who break the rules.
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog, at ingredienser i nano-størrelse og fødevarer fra nanoteknologiske processer bør være genstand for nye fødevareregler.
The legislation sets out guidelines for imposing fines: the environmental damage caused, the value of the timber and lost tax revenue can all be taken into consideration.
De opfordrede desuden til et tidsbegrænset forbud, indtil en særlig risikovurdering af nanoteknologiprocesser eller nano-ingredienser har vist, at de er sikre.
EU countries can also impose criminal-law penalties on unscrupulous dealers.
MEP'erne udtrykte bekymring for, at nanoteknologi allerede bruges i fødevarer og emballage.
To ensure traceability, each operator along the supply chain will need to declare from whom they bought timber and to whom they sold it.
Mad fra GMO-ernærede dyr
On a global level, deforestation as a whole is estimated to contribute 20% of greenhouse gas emissions.
Hvis Rådet ikke accepterer Europa-Parlamentets holdning ved denne andenbehandling, vil man forsøge at nå en aftale gennem forligsproceduren.
Council has already informally agreed with the terms of this draft legislation but will need to rubber stamp it before it can pass into law.

Europa-Parlamentet støtter reelle reformer af det finansielle tilsyn
Stricter rules on industrial emissions
Fra højre mod venstre: Goulard, Skinner, Giegold, Garcia-Margallo y Marfil og Sánchez Presedo Klar til at forhandle European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) Et overvældende flertal i Europa-Parlamentet sendte onsdag et stærkt budskab til medlemslandene om, at den eneste mulighed for et effektivt økonomisk tilsyn vil være baseret på en dybtgående reform af det nuværende system.
The latest move updates 7 pieces of legislation © AFP PHOTO JOEL SAGET/Belga Stricter air pollution limits Industrial and agricultural installations with a high pollution potential covered Clearer rules and cleaner air are among the aims of the Industrial Emissions Directive approved by the European Parliament on Wednesday.
Desuden bør der oprettes europæiske myndigheder, der kan træffe effektive foranstaltninger til at afværge fremtidige kriser og undgå, at skatteyderne skal til lommen.
Stricter limits will apply for air pollution for example, although Member States will have some flexibility to extend deadlines for power plants or waive the rules for other installations in special cases.
Ved at stemme om ændringsforslagene, men udskyde afstemningen om selve den lovgivende resolution, udtrykte Parlamentet sin fulde opbakning til sit forhandlerteam.
The Industrial Emissions Directive aims to improve health and environment protection, while making the rules clearer and easier to implement.
Samtidig lod MEP'erne en dør stå på klem for, at man kan bruge et par uger mere på at prøve at nå frem til en 1. behandlingsaftale med Rådet efter sommerferien.
It updates and merges seven pieces of existing legislation, including directives on large combustion plants and Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC), the latter covering around 52,000 industrial and agricultural installations with a high pollution potential, from refineries to pig farms.
I en særskilt erklæring om de vedtagne tekster gjorde de politiske grupper det klart, at bolden nu ligger på Rådets banehalvdel, og at det er op til ministrene at fremkomme med en aftale, der er acceptabel for alle parter.
After Parliament overwhelmingly approved an agreement reached with Council, German Liberal MEP Holger Krahmer the MEP responsible for guiding the legislation through Parliament, commented:
Erklæringen skal ses som en sidste bestræbelse fra ordførerne på at hjælpe det nye belgiske formandskab med at rykke medlemslandene til en mere tilfredsstillende position.
Compared to the current situation, this offers more clarity and a better chance of a level playing field across Europe on environmental requirements for industrial installations."
Effektive tilsynsmyndigheder
Air pollution targets: extra time for some power stations
MEP'erne stemte for at give en række beføjelser til de tre europæiske tilsynsmyndigheder (European Supervisory Authorities, ESA'er), som vil skulle holde kontrol med henholdsvis bankerne, værdipapirer, børserne samt forsikringssektoren.
Nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide and dust can be a major health or environmental hazard, contributing for example to cancer, asthma and acid rain.
ESA'erne vil skulle træffe direkte beslutninger vedrørende finansielle institutioner, som fx kan være en bank, i tilfælde af, at den nationale tilsynsmyndighed ikke har været i stand til at få institutionen til at ændre adfærd, der betragtes som usund.
Stricter limits on these emissions will be introduced from 2016.
ESA'erne vil også have beføjelse til at afgøre tvister mellem nationale tilsynsmyndigheder og til at overvåge vigtige grænseoverskridende finansielle institutioner via de nationale tilsynsmyndigheder.
MEPs ultimately agreed that Member States can use ‘transitional national plans’ to allow large combustion plants (including fossil fuel power stations) up to July 2020 to meet the rules.
Teksterne giver også ordførerne mandat til at presse på for at få en stabilitetsfond i tilknytning til hver af de tre ovenfor nævnte finansielle sektorer, så man fremover kan undgå, at skatteyderne vil skulle betale regningen for fremtidige finanskriser.
Some older plants may not have to meet the targets, as long as they close by the end of 2023 or 17,500 operating hours after 2016, whichever happens first.
Teksterne siger også, at ESA'erne bør arbejde for at styrke det europæiske system for nationale garantiordninger for indskud.
Newer power stations must still meet the 2012 deadline that applies to them.
Imidlertid vil det også være muligt, at have forskellige repræsentationer placeret i de vigtigste finansielle centre inden for EU.
This is also grossly unfair on the Member States who took early action to meet the requirements."
European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB)
Optimising environmental performance
Den vedtagne tekst skal sikre, at den opgave som Kommissionen har givet ESRB - at overvåge opbygningen af risici i EU-økonomien - udføres bedre og klarere, og at man derfor vil kunne reagere hurtigere.
To receive a permit, installations covered by IPPC rules must apply “best available techniques” (BATs) to optimise their all-round environmental performance.
Teksten udtrykker også et ønske om at gøre det lettere at identificere risici.
Emissions to air, soil or water, as well as noise and safety are all considered.
ESRB bør udvikle et fælles sæt af indikatorer, der giver en ensartet vurdering af risici ved specifikke grænseoverskridende finansielle institutioner samt gør det nemmere at identificere hvilken type af risiko, der er indlejret i dem.
Member States will have some leeway to ease the normal rules, as long as a high standard of overall environmental protection is maintained.
For at forbedre den overordnede risikobevidsthed opfordrer resolutionen ESRB til at etablere en farvekode til markering af risikoniveauer.
However, at the insistence of MEPs, it must also be proved that costs would be disproportionate compared to environmental benefits, due to technical reasons or local circumstances.
For at øge ESRB's synlighed og troværdighed skal institutionen ledes af formanden for ECB, siger teksten.
Parliament has given its seal of approval to the second reading agreement that was reached with Council.
De vedtagne tekster vil tjene som et forhandlingsmandat, der giver plenarforsamlingens støtte til Parlamentets forhandlere til at fortsætte deres drøftelser med Rådet med henblik på at nå frem til en aftale i nærmeste fremtid, muligvis allerede lige efter sommerferien.

MEP'erne støtter Islands EU-kandidatur
MEPs back Iceland's EU membership bid
Island bliver samtidig bedt om at indstille al hvalfangst.
Iceland is also asked to cease all whaling.
MEP'erne bakker op om den nylige beslutning af EU's ledere (17. juni) om at åbne medlemskabsdrøftelser med Island, som indgav sin ansøgning i juli 2009.
MEPs endorse the decision by EU leaders on 17 June to open membership talks with Iceland, which submitted its application in July 2009.
Samtidig beder Parlamentet Island om at indstille al hvalfangst, som er i modstrid med EU's love.
At the same time, Parliament asks Iceland to cease all whaling which is in contradiction with EU laws.
De forbehold landet har indgivet til Den Internationale Hvalfangstkommission bør også opgives, siger den beslutning, der blev vedtaget ved håndsoprækning onsdag.
The reservations the country has lodged with the International Whaling Commission should also be dropped, says the resolution, which was adopted by show of hands.
Islands EU-medlemskab vil gøre det muligt for EU at spille en mere aktiv rolle i den arktiske region, siger beslutningen, der er udarbejdet af Cristian Dan Preda (PPE, RO), og som ligeledes understreger landets "stærke demokratiske kultur".
Iceland 's accession would allow the EU to play a more active role in the Arctic Region , says the resolution drafted by Cristian Dan Preda (EPP), which underlines the country's "strong democratic culture" .
Island er allerede en del af Schengen-området og har haft en frihandelsaftale med EU siden 1973.
Iceland is already part of the Schengen zone and a member of NATO and has had a free-trade agreement with the EU since 1973.
Hvad angår Icesave-spørgsmålet, pointerer MEP'erne, at Island er forpligtet til at sikre betaling af en minimumerstatning til Icesave-indskyderne i Storbritannien og Holland, sådan som EFTA Tilsynsmyndigheden tilsagde i sin skrivelse af 26. maj.
On the Icesave bank issue, MEPs recall that Iceland is obliged to ensure payment of the minimum compensation to Icesave depositors in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, as the EFTA Surveillance Authority said in its letter of formal notice of 26 May.
MEP'erne påpeger, at selv om Island, som medlem af Det Europæiske Økonomiske Samarbejdsområde (EØS), allerede overholder de fleste EU-love (bl.a. lovgivningen om det indre marked), er det stadig nødvendigt med væsentlige reformer af organisationen og funktionen af dets finansielle kontrolsystem - "den centrale institutionelle svaghed i landets økonomi "- samt af den måde dommere, anklagere og de øverste retslige myndigheder bliver udpeget på.
MEPs also point out that although, as a member of the European Economic Area, Iceland complies with most EU laws (notably single market legislation) , it still needs to reform substantially the organisation and functioning of its financial supervisory system - "the key institutional weaknesses of the country's economy" - and the way judges, prosecutors and supreme judicial authorities are appointed.
De politiske områder, som skal fuldt forhandles med Island er landbrug, fiskeri, beskatning, økonomisk og monetær politik samt de eksterne politikker.
The policy areas that will have to be fully negotiated with Iceland are agriculture, fisheries, taxation, economic and monetary policy and external relations.
Den vedtagne beslutning konstaterer herudover, at den islandske befolknings opbakning til EU-medlemskab er faldet siden sommeren 2009.
Public support in Iceland for EU membership has declined since summer 2009, points out the resolution.
MEP'erne opfordrer derfor de islandske myndigheder til at indlede en offentlig debat om de bekymringer, de islandske borgerne har med hensyn til EU-medlemskab.
MEPs ask the Icelandic authorities to initiate a public debate to address the concerns of Icelandic citizens regarding EU membership.
MEP'erne forventer, at det nye Blandede Parlamentariske Udvalg EP-Island mellem Europa-Parlamentet og Altinget (det islandske parlament), vil fremme det allerede eksisterende "frugtbare samarbejde" mellem de to parter.
MEPs expect that the new EP-Iceland Joint Parliamentary Committee between the EP and the Althingi (Icelandic Parliament) will enhance an existing "fruitful collaboration" between the two sides.
EU's udenrigstjeneste: EU skal være en global aktør
Diplomatic service: EU to become "a global player instead of payer"
Det var konklusionen på onsdagens debat i Strasbourg, hvor MEPerne debatterede den nye tjeneste med EU's udenrigsrepræsentant, Catherine Ashton.
Support from leading MEPs for Service Budget, Administration and political control all key issues MEPs who debated the new EU diplomatic corps - the European External Action Service (EEAS) with High Representative Catherine Ashton told her that the political agreement reached in Madrid is an excellent starting point, protecting the community method and guaranteeing Parliament's political and budgetary powers.
Nogle medlemmer kritiserede dog samtidig den "lunkne holdning", som visse medlemsstater har over for udenrigstjenesten.
Some MEPs have criticised the "ambiguous position" of some Member States over the Service.
Elmar Brok (PPE, DE) mindede om, at EU's udenrigstjeneste har sin oprindelse i bestræbelserne på at udarbejde en forfatningstraktat for Europa.
The EEAS will allow the EU to become "a global player instead of payer" on the international stage, said Elmar Brok of the European People's Party (EPP) who underlined Parliament's achievements in terms of safeguarding EP powers and defending the Community method.
Han vurderede, at den vil gøre det muligt for EU at blive "en global aktør i stedet for betaler" på den internationale scene.
"We don't want to drive the EU's Foreign Policy but we want to monitor it and want sensible budgetary decisions to be made", recalled Elmar Brok who co-negotiated the Madrid deal with Liberal leader Guy Verhofstadt and Socialist MEP Roberto Gualtieri .
Guy Verhofstadt (ALDE, BE) var mindre forbeholden og konstaterede ganske enkelt, at tjenesten nu er oprettet.
Guy Verhostadt was more straight-forward and said that "the Service has now been established".
Han rådede imidlertid Catherine Ashton til at udvikle tjenesten inden for EU's institutionelle rammer.
"Allow me to give one advice", said Verhostadt to Ashton, "develop the service as a community institution.
