På trods af, at kvinderne har overhalet mændene i forhold til uddannelseslængde, og har næsten lige så lang erhvervserfaring, har lønforskellen ligget stabilt mellem 17 og 21 procent.
The resolution shall be adopted by a majority of the component Members of Parliament.
Den største årsag til forskellen er ifølge rapporten, at det danske arbejdsmarked er forholdsvist kønsopdelt.
Parliament may, at the same time, fix a deadline for the submission of such a proposal.
Og det, der næsten er det værste, er at tallet stiger med 400.000 børn om året," sagde Niels Busk.
The World Health Organisation recommends consumption of at least 400g of fruit and vegetables per day for children under the age of 11.
MEP'erne ønskede i afstemningen tirsdag, at ordningen skulle støttes med 500 millioner euro om året.
When the fruit and vegetable sector of the CAP was reformed last year, the European Parliament and the Member States called for a programme to be set up for distributing fruit and vegetables in schools to encourage children to eat more healthily.
Det beløb skulle så suppleres med bidrag fra medlemslandene.
The report calls for the Community contribution to be increased to €500 million for the year in question.
EU-frugt til børnene
Preference for produce grown in Europe
MEP'erne ønskede desuden, at det skal være frugt fra EU-landene, der skal deles ud i skolerne og de understregede, at medlemslandene bør vælge frugt, der er så frisk som muligt og med mindst muligt indhold af tilsætningsstoffer, og at lokale produkter og om muligt økologiske produkter bør prioriteres.
The report also calls for the practical arrangements for the programme to be clarified.
I landbrugsspørgsmål har Parlamentet kun høringsret, men MEP'erne har gennem budgettet indflydelse på, hvor mange penge, ordningen skal tildeles via EU-budgettet.
MEPs say it should cover only fruit and vegetables produced within the EU.
Udover ordføreren, Niels Busk, havde Christel SCHALDEMOSE (PSE, DK) ordet.
Priority should be given to sustainable production.
Selv om hun i princippet er imod udvidelse af landbrugsstøtten, mente hun, at skolefrugtsordningen var et godt initiativ, da det handler om at styrke børns sundhed.
The report also suggests that the programme not only be restricted to school children in the 6-10 age group but should also be available to pre-school children.
"Men det skal være børnenes sundhed og ikke landbrugets økonomi, der skal være i fokus," sagde hun, og mente derfor, at det er vigtigt, at det er frugtens sundhedsværdi og ikke om den kommer fra EU, der bør være afgørende.
In addition, MEPs want the fruit to be accompanied by health and dietary advice in an appropriate style for children.
Finanskrise, G20 og Kommissionens program for 2009 til debat MEP'erne debatterede tirsdag eftermiddag finanskrisen og hvad EU i det kommende år skal gøre for at mindske virkningerne af krisen.
Report on the G20, from Washington to Strasbourg Parliament debated the financial and economic crisis in the light of the Washington G20 summit.
Der er brug for en global tilgang
The EU, he said, needed to continue to take a strong lead for tangible results.
Ikke kapitalismens sammenbrud
Political group speakers
Joseph DAUL (PPE-DE, FR) mente ikke, at krisen var udtryk for kapitalismens sammenbrud, men at den snarere er et resultat af politiske fejl som f.eks. utilstrækkelig overvågning af finansinstitutionerne på den anden side af Atlanten.
On behalf of the EPP-ED group, Joseph DAUL (FR) said the financial and economic crisis did not represent "a defeat of capitalism" but was a result of poor regulation, a lack of market transparency and the lack of proper financial supervisory bodies.
"Det viser, at vi har en multipolær verden, hvor Unionen kan spille en rolle," sagde han og ønskede omgående handling i forhold til spørgsmålene om kreditvurderingsinstitutter, overvågning af finansmarkederne, kapitalfonde, hedgefonde og topchefers lønninger.
"We are at a crossroads", said Mr Schulz and he called for stricter monitoring and "a legal ban on certain forms of speculation".
Klimakampen skal fortsætte
There must be no return to "business as usual".
Lederen for den liberale gruppe Graham WATSON (ALDE, UK) understregede behovet for at støtte de åbne markeder og mente, at mange lande efter 1929 fejlagtigt var gået efter individuel 'frelse', mens det nu stod klart, at 'frelsen' skal komme kollektivt.
Nevertheless, the Liberal leader stressed the need to support open markets, saying that after 1929 countries had mistakenly tried for "individual salvation" whereas "now we recognise that salvation has to come collectively".
Watson understregede, at krisen ikke må føre til, at arbejdet for en bæredygtig økonomisk vækst bliver opgivet og pointerede, at kampen mod klimaændringer bør fortsætte uændret.
Mr Watson's main point, however, was that this was not a time to abandon the drive for sustainable economic growth: the fight against climate change must be maintained.
"Recession er et godt tidspunkt til at finde ud af, hvordan man skal fortætte.
Brian CROWLEY (UEN, IE) believed that the bottom line in the crisis was that the EU, US, India and China must work together to ensure common rules and standards to govern the global financial markets for the future.
Væksten har været baseret på ressourcer, der ikke varer ved evigt, " sagde han afsluttede med ordene: "Intet bliver som før."
There should, he said, be no excuses for those who indulged in the reckless lending and dubious practices which caused the crisis.
Største fare er manglende lån til mindre virksomheder
The biggest danger today, he said, is that banks are not lending to small and medium-sized enterprises to allow them to grow and to take opportunities.
"Der er ingen undskyldning i forhold til det, der har skabt krisen, som f.eks. usikre lån.
It meant not giving a blank cheque to industries such as the car industry unless they reform and modernise.
Barroso er blandt de ansvarlige
We need strong words from the Left, he concluded.
Monica FRASSONI (Verts/ALE, IT) konstaterede ligesom flere andre talere, at finanskrisen efterhånden også bider ind på realøkonomien.
Hanne DAHL (IND/DEM, DK) asserted that the problems had arisen because enterprise had become "a bubble in the whirlpool of speculation".
Væk fra kapitalismen
"Wages should not be seen just as a cost factor," she said.
Musacchio mente ikke, at det var nok.
"We are at a crossroads, and we cannot go back to 'normal.'
Kommissionen og den varme grød
I hope that Council and Commission will give this idea a fair wind."
Hanne DAHL (IND/DEM, DK) talte som formand for sin gruppe.
Andrew DUFF (ALDE, UK) said that the crisis is going to have a dramatic effect on the future of the euro.
"I Kommissionens forslag til løsning på den finansielle krise går man som katten om den varme grød.
The Commission, he said, should be looking at the real priorities for bringing in some of the things that we have worked on that will actually help the real economy.
Det frie marked er vejen frem
Reform is only going to be successful on the grounds of a free market principle.
Danske talere
That is only one example.
Poul Nyrup RASMUSSEN (PSE, DK) konstaterede, at der var tale om en ond cirkel, for når økonomierne er for nedadgående, fører det til tab for de finansielle institutioner.
Proinsias DE ROSSA (PES, IE) said that this crisis was allowed to develop because governments everywhere abandoned their responsibility to sufficiently govern the economy, including banks.
Han påpegede, at EU højst sandsynligt vil få negativ vækst næste år og mente, at det var EU's pligt at forsøge at undgå recession.
It will happen again unless we clearly define a new economic framework which enables us to ensure that banks and industries serve society and enable governments to govern in the public interest."
"Hvis alle samtidig investerer 1 % af deres BNP til at bekæmpe recessionen, vil alle få mere ud af det og stå bedre - også i forhold til beskæftigelse," sagde han.
On the work programme, it will be a very busy year, she said, what with the budget review, the implementation of the health check and review of fisheries.

Landbrugsstøtte: MEP'ere nedtoner Kommissionens reformforslag
CAP health check: finding the right balance
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog onsdag fire betænkninger i høringsproceduren om Mariann Fischer Boels forslag til et sundhedstjek af landbrugsstøtten.
The four reports, drafted by Luis Manuel Capoulas Santos (PES, PT), strike a balance between the various proposals put forward by MEPs during debates on the health check and also reflect the variety of situations facing farmers in the European Union.
Betænkningerne blev alle vedtaget med betydeligt flertal.
Let us go forward and actually reform the agricultural policy."
Det var især Kommissionens planer om at reducere den direkte landbrugsstøtte og bruge pengene på landdistriktsudvikling i stedet, der var et af de mest omdiskuterede emner blandt MEP'erne.
This subject was hotly debated in the EP, which in the end adopted a compromise calling for the transfer of funding to proceed more gradually so as not to hit farmers too hard.
Parlamentet endte med at stemme for, at det fra 2013 kun skulle være 7 % af landbrugsstøtten, der skal føres over til landdistriktsstøtte - i stedet for de 13 procent, som Kommissionen havde foreslået.
MEPs want the current 5% transfer rate applicable to farmers receiving more than €10,000 in EU subsidy to rise to only 7% by 2013, rather than the 13% proposed by the Commission.
Desuden mener MEP'erne, at denne reduktion i den direkte landbrugsstøtte kun skal gælde for landbrug, der får mere end 10.000 euro i støtte om året (og ikke for landbrug med over 5000 euro om året som Kommissionen havde foreslået).
MEPs agreed to a higher rate for farms that receive over €100,000 from the EU, but not nearly as high as the rate proposed by the Commission (1 percentage point extra between €100,000 and €199,999 rather than 3 points, 2 points between €200,000 and €299,999 rather than 6, and 3 points beyond €300,000 rather than 9).
Også i forhold til de største modtagere af landbrugsstøtten (dem, der modtager mere end 100.000 euro/året), hvor Kommissionen havde foreslået en gradvis proportionel stigning i, hvor meget der skulle overføres til landdistriktsstøtte, ønskede Parlamentet, at dette beløb skulle reduceres, og Parlamentet ønskede også at undtage kooperativer og andre typer sammenslutninger af flere landbrug fra denne ordning.
In addition, MEPs contend that the extra funding released by the increase in modulation should be used to finance more "challenges" than the four identified by the Commission (climate change, renewable energy, water management and biodiversity) and that this Community money should not have to be co-financed by national budgets as is currently the case for rural development programmes.
Niels BUSK (ALDE, DK) talte på vegne af ALDE-gruppen, og han understregede, at da sundhedstjekket blev markedsført, havde forenkling og afbureaukratisering været centrale begreber, sammen med ønsket om at gøre landbruget i EU klar til øget frihandel - og klar til den ny tid efter 2013, når den nuværende aftaleperiode udløber.
The House finally opted for an increase in quotas by 1% every year until 2013/2014 but asked the Commission to review the situation in 2010 and make new proposals before the end of quotas if necessary.
"Med hensyn til forenklingen og afbureaukratiseringen - det at gøre det lettere at være landmand - da må vi vel i dag sige, at det er ikke særlig let at finde de helt klare og de mange eksempler på, hvor det er, vi har afbureaukratiseret og hvor det er, vi har forenklet," sagde Niels Busk i debatten.
MEPs also want to allow Member States to increase their quotas temporarily if the quotas of other Member States are under-used.
Selvom Europa-Parlamentet i landbrugsspørgsmål kun har høringsret, havde den franske landbrugsminister Michel BARNIER på vegne af det franske formandskab lovet, at der vil blive taget hensyn til Parlamentets holdning, som om der var tale om en fælles beslutningsprocedure.
Other compromises adopted by MEPs would allow Member States to use up to 15% of the Community funding they receive to support hard-hit sectors such as livestock and dairy farming and to contribute to insurance and mutual schemes (Article 68 support), to broaden insurance coverage, notably for all types of climate damage and for major losses caused by animal or plant disease, and to increase Community co-financing of these insurance schemes and mutual funds.

MEP'ere vil styrke FN's mission i Congo
DR Congo: MEPs say the UN must act as a matter of urgency
FN's mission MONUC i Congo skal styrkes, mener MEP'erne, der i et beslutningsforslag, som blev vedtaget torsdag, henviser til, at FN-missionen ikke har de nødvendige midler til at beskytte civilbefolkningen, og ikke greb ind for at standse massakren på over 200 mennesker den 5. november i Kiwandja.
In adopting a resolution on the EU response to the deteriorating situation in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the House calls on the UN Security Council, as a matter of urgency, to take all measures capable of genuinely preventing any further attacks on the civilian population of the eastern provinces of the DRC.
Europa-Parlamentet ønsker i beslutningsforslaget, som blev vedtaget med 486 stemmer for, 30 imod og 17 hverken for eller imod, at styrke mandatet for FN's mission i Den Demokratiske Republik Congo.
MEPs are extremely concerned at the increase in clashes in North Kivu and the consequences for the population of the east of the DRC and the region as a whole, particularly humanitarian consequences as a result of the recent offensive by the CNDP, displacing and killing large numbers of people in North Kivu.
I beslutningsforslaget henviser MEP'erne til, at millioner af mennesker er blevet dræbt og fordrevet siden volden startede, og at der er omkring 250.000 mennesker, der er blevet fordrevet siden kampene blev genoptaget af General Laurent Nkunda i august.
The European Parliament expresses its deep outrage at the massacres, crimes against humanity and acts of sexual violence against women and girls in the eastern provinces of the DRC and calls on all relevant national and international authorities systematically to bring the perpetrators to justice.
MEP'erne er dybt rystede over de massakrer og forbrydelser mod menneskeheden, som har fundet sted, herunder den seksuelle vold mod kvinder og piger i det østlige Congo, og opfordrer alle nationale og internationale myndigheder til at retsforfølge gerningsmændene.
Parliament reaffirms its support for the Congolese authorities in the search for a political solution to the crisis and welcomes the plan put forward by the Congolese parliamentarians, which calls for a general mobilisation in favour of military, political and diplomatic dialogue.
Fredsmission skal styrkes
Role of International Community
MEP'erne understreger i beslutningsforslaget deres støtte til FN's fredsmission i Congo (MONUC) og opfordrer Rådet til at spille en ledende rolle i forhold til at sikre, at FN's sikkerhedsråd styrker fredsmissionens operationelle kapacitet i forhold til både mandskab og udstyr, og at der bliver sendt specialtropper fra Europa.
MEPs call on the African Union, the UN Security Council and key international players, including the EU, US and China, to increase pressure on all parties to push forward with the peace process, finding a solution to the problem of control of the mineral resources and aiming for a broad peace agreement rather than only a ceasefire, and further calls on these actors to put pressure on Rwanda and Uganda to give a commitment to end the free movement and operations of Nkunda's troops on their territory.
20081117IPR42207 Fælles beslutningsforslag jf. forretningsordenens artikel 103, stk. 4 om Den Europæiske Unions reaktion på den forværrede situation i den østlige del af Den Demokratiske Republik Congo
MEPs draw attention to the importance of access to health services in conflict situations and refugee camps, especially in the light of the recent outbreaks of cholera, whooping cough and measles.
Overrabbiner Sir Jonathan Sacks taler til MEP'erne
"Where words end, violence begins": British Chief Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks addresses MEPs
Sir Jonathan Sacks under sin tale i EP Dialog var kodeordet, da Sir Jonathan Sacks, Overrabbiner for De Forenede Jødiske Menigheder i Commonwealth, som led i fejringen af Året for Interkulturel Dialog talte for medlemmerne på et højtideligt møde onsdag middag.
We also need stronger social bonds in the form of "covenantal relationships", according to Sir Jonathan Sacks, Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the British Commonwealth, who addressed a formal sitting of the House on Wednesday.
"Der, hvor ordene slipper op, begynder volden," advarede Overrabbineren.
Mr Pöttering saluted the positive contribution of religion to society, notably in "the development of our ethical awareness and our values", and then, referring to Sir Jonathan's book "The Dignity of Difference", said "you have grasped the key issue of our time: can we all live together in peace and if so, how?".
Mere behov for pagter end kontrakter
Thankfully, he concluded, "today Jews and Christians meet in mutual respect as friends".
Overrabbineren argumenterede for vigtigheden af at have en dialog, men understregede, at dialog ikke altid er nok.
Underlining the value of dialogue, he said "if we were completely different there could be no communication but if we were totally the same we would have nothing to say".
"Dialog kan ikke altid holde os sammen, hvis andre kræfter river os fra hinanden, sagen han.
And yet, Sir Jonathan continued, "dialogue may not be enough" since "dialogue can't always keep us together if other forces drive us apart".
Sacks talte også om 'pagter' som f.eks. den pagt, som de 12 israelske stammer indgik for at udgøre en nation.
In his view, we also need "covenants", evoking Biblical covenants such as the one by which the 12 tribes of Israel agreed to form one nation.
En pagt, sagde Sacks, er ikke det samme som en kontrakt.
A covenant, he pointed out, is not a contract.
I en kontrakt forfølger parterne egne interesser, mens en pagt er en aftale, hvor to parter finde sammen for at opnå noget, de ikke kan opnå alene.
In a contract, each side is seeking its own advantage, whereas "in a covenant, two parties come together to achieve what they can't achieve alone".
"En kontrakt er en handel - en pagt er et ægteskab."
In other words, "a contract is a deal, a covenant is a marriage".
Jonathan Sacks sagde desuden, at "Europa har brug for en ny pagt - og det er nu, det er tid til at komme i gang med den."
Dr Sacks contended that "Europe needs a new covenant and the time to begin is now", in the midst of the economic crisis.
"Gud har givet os mange sprog, men kun en Verden at leve i," sagde han og udtrykte sit håb om, at vi i vores mangfoldighed kan "skrive en ny Håbets Pagt for Europa"
Concluding, the Chief Rabbi said: "God has given us many languages but only one world to live in" and he expressed the hope that we may, in our diversity, "write a new European covenant of hope".
MEP'ere støtter et europæisk "Blue Card" til højtkvalificerede indvandrere
MEPs support the European "Blue Card" proposal for highly-skilled immigrants
Europæisk "Blue Card" til højtkvalificerede indvandrere I en afstemning torsdag bakkede MEP'erne op om en EU 'Blue Card'-ordning, der skal få kvalificerede arbejdstagere fra lande uden for EU til at arbejde i de sektorer i EU, hvor der er mangel på kvalificeret arbejdskraft.
EU 'Blue Card' system to attract highly skilled workers MEPs backed the EU's "Blue Card" scheme to attract highly-skilled immigrants to take jobs in EU economic sectors suffering from skill shortages, modelled on the US "Green Card" system.
MEP'erne foreslog en række ændringer og præciseringer i forhold til teksten, og understregede, at ordningen ikke måtte føre til 'hjerneflugt' fra lande uden for EU.
However, they propose a clearer frame, more precise definitions, and to ensure more flexibility for Member States, whilst urging them to avoid a brain drain from third countries.
MEP'erne understreger, at det skal være et vellønnet job med en løn, som er mindst 1,7 gange højere end gennemsnitslønnen i det pågældende land, og som ikke er lavere end det, andre med samme stilling tjener.
It must also be possible to grant the card to third country nationals already legally staying in the Union under other regimes, but it should not be granted to asylum applicants or third country nationals admitted to the Union as seasonal workers, as the latter are covered by a specific proposal for a directive, say MEPs.
En arbejdstager, der opnår et blue-card, vil også være berettiget til familiesammenføring inden for seks måneder, og ægtefællen vil have ret til at søge job i EU.
The Blue Card will also entitle its holder to family reunification within six months - his or her spouse would also be able to seek a job in the Union - and to social welfare coverage in the Member State concerned.
De skal også have adgang til velfærdsydelser.
A holder who loses his or her job should have six months to find another, rather than three as proposed by the Commission, say MEPs.
MEP'erne ønsker også at give mere tid til at finde et nyt job i EU, hvis indehaveren af et blue-card mister sit job.
MEPs also agree that preference may be given to EU citizens as well as to unemployed third country nationals who reside legally, for reasons of labour market policy.
I stedet for de tre måneder, som EU-Kommissionen oprindeligt havde lagt op til, foreslår MEP'erne, at der bliver givet seks måneder til at finde et nyt job.
The Blue Card, proposed by the European Commission, is designed to attract highly-qualified workers from third countries by giving them access to the 27 Member States.
MEP'erne mener desuden, at medlemslandene selv skal kunne bestemme, hvor mange blue-cards de vil udstede om året.
Most highly-skilled migrants prefer destinations such as the USA, Australia or Canada to the EU, due to the fragmentation of EU labour markets.
Kortet skal ikke ses som en 'rettighed', og medlemslandene kan afvise ansøgere, som lever op til kriterierne.
If a worker's contract is for a shorter duration, then the card should be granted for the duration of the contract plus six months, say MEPs.
20081117IPR42214 Betænkning om forslag til Rådets direktiv om indrejse- og opholdsbetingelser for tredjelandsstatsborgere med henblik på højt kvalificeret beskæftigelse
Equal treatment of third-country nationals in Member States, particularly in areas connected with employment "must be guaranteed", says the House, and granting these rights "is a minimum requirement".
