Mandag aften stemte Udenrigsudvalget og Udviklingsudvalget om de tre finalister til Europa-Parlamentets Sakharov-Pris 2006.
Addressing MEPs in plenary on Tuesday, the President of Liberia, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, said that Liberians were committed to moving from the crisis of the past to the opportunity of the present, building "a new Liberia from the ashes of an old turbulent past to a future of hope and promise."
De tre udvalgte blev (i alfabetisk orden):
There was a huge campaign of rape of women.
Alexander Milinkevich: Lederen af den hviderussiske opposition.
In April, I was able to tell the plenary, how pleased I was with arrest and extradition of Charles Taylor.
I april 2006 var han fængslet i 15 dage for deltagelse i et uautoriseret valgmøde i Minsk.
"On that road you will have EU support for Liberia can continue to be symbol of freedom that was its origins."
Ghassan Tueni : Libanesisk journalist og diplomat, der entusiastisk forsvarer den arabiske identitet.
The damage and negative consequences has, she said, been enormous, deepening the state of poverty.
Far til Gebrane Tueni, en libanesisk avisredaktør, der blev myrdet sidste år.
Yet Liberians, she said, were a resilient people, and they were counting on her and her administration to create the conditions to realise their dreams.
Sakharov-Prisen for tankefrihed er siden 1988 blevet uddelt hvert år af Europa-Parlamentet.
Our efforts, joined by those of our partners, over the next few months, the next year, and beyond, will determine the future course of the nation.
Sidste års pris blev delt af tre prismodtagere: Den cubanske protestbevægelse "Kvinder i Hvidt", den nigerianske menneskerettighedsforkæmper Hauwa Ibrahim og en forening, der forsvarer pressefriheden, "Journalister uden Grænser".
Poverty reduction was the heart of the strategy, based on four "pillars" of reconstruction and development: enhancing security and peace in Liberia, revitalising the economy, improving democratic governance and revitalising the social and physical infrastructure.
Han modtog i 1975 Nobels Fredspris.
"We are glad that our nation has been blessed.

Renere luft: Strammere krav, men mere fleksibilitet
Tackle root causes of Middle East violence, says Lebanese Prime Minister
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog i tirsdag to betænkninger om forbedring af luftkvalitet.
He spoke of the attacks on civilians by both sides in the conflict, something which he said happened too often in the Middle East.
I den lovgivningsmæssige betænkning af Holger KRAHMER (ALDE, DE) ønsker EP mere ambitiøse mål end Kommissionen, men også generelt mere fleksibilitet, så medlemslandene har mulighed for at indstille sig på den strengere lovgivning.
It was the same state of Israel that gives itself the right to abduct Lebanese civilians, and detain, they say, not soldiers, but elected members of the Palestinian parliament, including the speaker, as well as ministers in the Palestinian government.
I Dorette CORBEYs (PSE, NL) initiativbetænkning om en temastrategi for luftforurening ønsker Parlamentet blandt andet, at der gøres mere for at standse forurening ved kilden.
"In order for the current cessation of hostilities to be sustained, Israel must withdraw without any further delay from the positions it still occupies within Lebanon and must stop its violations of Lebanese territory.
Til gengæld ønsker Parlamentet at give medlemslandene mere fleksibilitet og længere frister til at gennemføre den strengere lovgivning.
"The direct damage from this last invasion is now running into the billions of dollars, while the long term direct and indirect costs to the economy, including lost revenues in tourism, agriculture and industry are expected to be billions more.
Parlamentet vedtog ændringsforslag om forlængelser af fristerne for disse særlige zoner, som lægger op til, at der i første omgang kunne forlænges med fire år og derefter i særlige tilfælde med yderligere to år.
"This, in turn, provides fertile ground for extremist and violent minds to engage – in the name of religion – in activities against innocent people that contradict the very basic tenets of all religions."
Parlamentet foreslår desuden, at grænsen for den gennemsnitlige årlige mængde af de største mikropartikler (PM 10) skal være lavere end det, Kommissionen har foreslået.
He spoke of the need to address all the issues of the region, and also to "build bridges of mutual respect and understanding across cultures and religions," which would help in "the harnessing of the enormous potential of our peoples for the mutual benefit of our interdependent societies."
Parlamentet ønsker desuden at tilføje nye artikler til direktivet, som nævner de foranstaltninger, som medlemslandene skal komme med for at reducere forureningen fra kilden.
The EPP-ED leader, alluding to the role of Hezbollah in Lebanese public affairs, expressed his "concern that in Lebanon you have something like a state within a state".
Det gælder især i forhold til tunge lastbiler, private varmeanlæg og foranstaltninger der skal få skibsredere til at reducere forureningen fra skibe.
"A great power," he noted, alluding to US policy in the Middle East, "has tried to be active in the region [...] on the basis of unilateralism".
Temastrategi for luftforurening I en egen-initiativ betænkning af Dorette Corbey som blev vedtaget med 563 stemmer for og 19 mod, bliver problemet omkring luftforurening grebet mere overordnet an.
He then proposed the launch of a regional conference for the Middle East along the model of the Conference for Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) -- this, as a way of bringing regional players into a comprehensive peace agreement.
Betænkningen kommer som et svar på Kommissionens strategi på området og lægger generelt op til lavere grænseværdier og mere ambitiøse mål for nedbringelse af forureningen.
"The legacy of war will be with you for some time to come", pronounced Graham Watson (ALDE, UK), citing, among other things, the existence of unexploded munitions and cluster bombs on Lebanese territory.
Betænkningen lægger vægt på, at der skal gøres mere for at stoppe forureningen ved kilden, f.eks. i forhold til biler, men også i forhold til forurening fra skibe og landbrug, som er en stadig større kilde til luftforurening.
Israel, he said, is "regularly attacked, as it was this summer, by Hezbollah [...]; its people are regularly abused in the press across the Arab world; it is threatened with obliteration by a head of government".

Bastiaan Belder (IND/DEM, NL) cited press outlets, which, he said, reported that armed groups other than Hezbollah were implanted in Southern Lebanon -- which, as he put it, "lays the basis for new confrontations within [the country]".

Støtte til grønnere byer
MEPs urge Sudanese to accept UN peacekeeping force
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog i dag med 448 stemmer mod 49 en initiativbetænkning om bedre bymiljø, som skal gøre livet grønnere for de over 80 procent alle de europæiske borgere, som bor i byområder.
In adopting a resolution on the situation in Darfur, the European Parliament urges the Government of Sudan to accept a United Nations peacekeeping force in Darfur, under Chapter VII of the UN Charter.
Parlamentets betænkning, som er udarbejdet af Gyula HEGYI (PSE, HU) er en opfølgning på Kommissionens meddelelse om en temastrategi for bymiljøet.
MEPs underlines that Sudan has failed in its 'responsibility to protect' its own people and is therefore obliged to accept a UN force in line with UNSC resolution 1706.
Parlamentet støtter Kommissionens meddelelse, men mener ikke den er vidtrækkende nok, hvis EU's målsætninger i det sjette miljøhandlingsprogram skal nås.
Parliament condemns the continuing violations of the ceasefire by all parties, and in particular the violence directed against the civilian population and the targeting of humanitarian assistance,
Parlamentet understreger, at EU-Kommissionen i samarbejde med medlemslandene bør opfordre til at udarbejde planer for bæredygtig byforvaltning for alle byer med over 100.000 indbyggere.
The House demands that the Sudanese authorities not only pose no obstacles to the deployment and activities of the UN Mission in Darfur, but also create the conditions necessary for the effective functioning of this mission.
Mål for grønne områder og slut med hundelort
MEPs stress that any failings by the Sudanese authorities in this regard will be sanctioned.
Parlamentet kommer med en række konkrete anbefalinger.
MEPs urge the Chinese Government to act on this statement by using its influence with Sudan to persuade the Government of Sudan to accept a UN peacekeeping force.
Parlamentet ønsker bl.a., at der skal 'lægges større vægt på at forebygge og fjerne skidt, affald, graffiti, dyreeskrementer og overdreven støj fra private og mobile musikanlæg'.
Parliament also calls on the EU, the US and other international actors to impose sanctions on any side, including the government, that violates the ceasefire or attacks civilians, peacekeepers or those involved in humanitarian operations and to take all necessary action to help end impunity by enforcing the Security Council sanctions regime.
Mere offentlig transport og vejafgifter
The House calls on the Government of Sudan and the international community to fully cooperate with the International Criminal Court in order to end impunity.
Parlamentet mener, at der skal fokuseres på forbedring af den offentlige transport, og at planerne for bæredygtig bytransport bør favorisere cykler og fodgængere.
Parliament also calls on all permanent members of the UN Security Council to assume their global responsibility and not to hinder any measures intended to foster peace, security and stability in the Darfur region of Sudan, but rather to support and promote all appropriate steps towards a sustainable resolution of the conflict.

Discharge 2004: Kritik af Strasbourg by
EP adopts report on economic and trade relations with India
Europa-Parlamentet godkendte tirsdag - med flere måneders forsinkelse - regnskabet for Parlamentet 2004.
Parliament adopted an own-initiative report on EU's economic and trade relations with India.
Parlamentet gav i den forbindelse grønt lys til køb af Parlamentsbygningerne i Strasbourg, men udtrykte også skarp kritik af Strasbourg by, som i 25 år har krævet for høj husleje af Parlamentet.
The report calls on the EU to support India's international trade potential as well as efforts to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) in particular by stepping up trade-related aid to address infrastructure and administrative bottlenecks.
Strasbourg by vidste i følge undersøgelsen godt, at den leje, de modtog af Parlamentet, var højere end det de betalte til Pensionsfonden SCI-Erasme, som byen lejede af.
MEPs call on the EU to offer to enter into a free trade agreement with India, along the lines of its agreement with Chile, which provides for duty-free entry for the exports of both parties on a reciprocal basis, and calls on the High Level Trade Group to explore mutual opportunities in this regard.
Mellem offentlige myndigheder må man kunne forvente redelighed og gensidig loyalitet", sagde han.
Parliament notes that international trade can be a powerful driver of economic growth and poverty reduction, but it is not a magic bullet, and trade reforms are complementary to development policies.
Bonde foreslår, at offentlige myndigheder skal pålægges en informationspligt, når de handler med hinanden.
The House considers that to lift people out of pockets of poverty, and continue to climb the ladder of economic development, India needs to focus critically on building a business environment that deepens integration with the world economy in a widening range of manufactures and services.
Hans ændringsforslag om at udsætte købet at bygningerne blev ikke vedtaget.
The Parliament calls on the Commission and the Council to work together with the Indian government to improve the situation of those groups and to examine future cooperation as to their contribution towards ending gender and caste discrimination.

Uddannelse: Bedre kvalitet i udvekslingsophold og mere fokus på livslang læring
European Parliament critical of slowdown in Turkey's reform process
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog tirsdag to betænkninger om uddannelse.
In adopting a report on Turkey's progress towards accession, MEPs were critical of the slowdown in the reform process.
Den ene vil have bedre kvalitet, når man vælger at tage til et andet land for at studere ved at oprette Det Europæiske Charter for Mobilitet, og den anden ønsker mere fokus på livslang læring til voksne.
Relations with Cyprus and Armenia, as well as restrictions on freedom of expression and religion, figured prominently in the report adopted by 429 votes in favour to 71 against with 125 abstentions.
Begge betænkninger lægger sig op af Kommissionens og Rådets holdninger, så lovgivningen kan blive vedtaget efter Parlamentets førstebehandling.
MEPs nevertheless welcomed some recent steps by the Turkish government in the fields of combating torture, fighting corruption and extending women's rights.
Over en million unge europæere har gennem EU's forskellige programmer for udveksling været i et andet europæisk land for at studere.
It also pleads for "a democratic solution to the Kurdish issue following Prime Minister Erdogan's encouraging statement last year.".
Men selv om antallet af personer, der søger uddannelse i et andet EU-landet er steget betragteligt siden 2000, kan der stadig gøres meget for at fjerne hindringerne for den enkelte studerende eller elev, og dermed også sikre, at flere får mod på at søge ud.
It called for the abolition or amendment of those provisions of the Penal Code which threaten European free speech norms -- such as Articles 216, 277, 285, 301 (which foresees punishment for "denigrating Turkishness"), 305 and 318.
Kommissionens forslag til Det Europæiske Charter for Mobilitet giver en række retningslinjer for, hvordan det skal foregå, når en universitetsstuderende, en elev på en erhvervsskole eller folk på voksenuddannelse vil rejse til udlandet for at læse.
Minister for European Affairs Paula LEHTOMÄKI, speaking for the Council Presidency, said: "Every debate provides a good opportunity to increase awareness of Turkey's accession process, to engage the citizens of the EU Member States and of Turkey in this process, and to support the Turkish government in its accession path.
Parlamentet foreslår desuden, at det skal være muligt at kunne overføre statslige lån og stipendier når man læser i udlandet.
Like the Parliament, we are equally concerned about the tense situation in south-east Turkey.
Mere livslang læring
Terrorist activities can never be justified.
Parlamentet støtter Kommissionens forslag, men lægger vægt på at alle - også mennesker med særlige behov - skal have realistisk mulighed for at tilegne sig de krævede færdigheder.
Turkey must apply the Protocol fully in its relations with all EU Member States and remove all obstacles to the free movement of goods, including restrictions on means of transport.
Kommissionen foreslår derfor en europæisk referenceramme for hvilke kompetencer, medlemslandene skal forsøge at sikre, at alle borgere har.
Turning to south-east Turkey he, like Mr Eurlings, condemned the PKK but called for a government policy not purely based on security considerations.
Dog bør de unge lære det grundlæggende i disse færdigheder og derefter udvikle og ajourføre færdighederne ved livslang læring.
In fact, I believe that the European Union, together with the United Nations, should continue to work in building peace and reconciliation on the island of Cyprus.

Hårde ord fra Europa-Parlamentet til Tyrkiet
More lifelong learning for adults / Quality charter for student mobility
Reformprocessen i Tyrkiet går for langsomt, siger Europa-Parlamentet i en meget kritisk betænkning om Tyrkiets vej mod EU-medlemskab.
MEPs adopted two legislative reports in the field of education.
Forbindelserne til Cypern og problemerne i forhold til ytringsfriheden og religionsfrihed bliver især fremhævet.
The first report relates to lifelong learning where MEPs welcome the creation of a European frame of reference for key competences offering EU citizens a tool to adapt to an evolving labour market in a knowledge based society.
Betænkningen af Camiel EURLINGS (PPE-DE, NL) blev vedtaget med stort flertal, 429 stemmer for og 71 stemmer imod.
Parliament adopted a report with an overwhelming majority Helga TRÜPEL's (Greens/EFA, DE) on lifelong learning for all EU citizens.
Parlamentet opfordrer regeringen i Ankara til at anerkende Cypern, trække tropperne tilbage fra øen og tillade cypriotiske skibe og fly i tyrkiske havne og lufthavne.
Parliament, Commission and Council have a common view on the importance of lifelong learning and by adopting a range of compromise amendments expressing this, a second reading in co-decision can be avoided.
Et meget omdiskuteret forslag om, at Tyrkiet, som betingelse for at blive medlem af EU, skulle anerkende det armenske folkemord, blev stemt ned.
MEPs welcome the creation of a European frame of reference for key competences offering EU citizens a tool to adapt to an evolving labour market in a knowledge based society.
Parlamentet holder dog fast på nødvendigheden at, at et land, som ønsker at bliver medlem, skal anerkende sin historiske fortid.
The main aims of this proposed Reference Framework are to identify the key competences necessary for personal fulfilment, active citizenship, social cohesion and employability.
Det er blandt andet paragraffer, der gør det muligt at straffe folk, der ytrer sig negativt eller nedsættende om Tyrkiet.
In adopting the report by Christa PRETS (PES, AT) Members said that, with a million of young people having lived in another Member State as part of their students, student mobility not only helps to promote an active European citizenship, but also was very important in making an innovative and competitive knowledge-based society.
Der bliver også delt kritiske ord ud i forhold til den manglende respekt for kvinders rettigheder, og i forhold til hærens dominerende rolle i det tyrkiske samfund.
Following a joint agreement and thus avoiding a second reading, the three EU institutions are now recommending the Member states to adopt and to use the European charter and to encourage its use by their National Agencies.
Kommissionen meddelte i sidste uge, at den næste rapport om Tyrkiets fremskridt mod optagelse vil blive offentliggjort den 8. november.
Given the fact that EP, Commission and Council could reach agreement on the Charter, a second reading in co-decision can now be avoided.
Ordføreren af betænkningen, Camiel EURLINGS (PPE-DE, NL) åbnede debatten med at beklage den opbremsning, der er sket i reformtempoet i Tyrkiet.
At the same time, Parliament calls for more flexibility in achieving the targets, to allow Member States, areas and cities which have problems meeting the criteria more time to adjust.
"Det er blevet sagt om denne betænkning, at den er fair men hård.
However, there will be safeguards to ensure that Member States take the measures needed to reduce pollution.
Et af de helt store problemer, ligger stadig i Tyrkiets manglende anerkendelse af Cypern, som siden 2004 har været medlem af EU.
However, it is lower than that proposed by the Commission (20µg/m3 from 2010 instead of 25µg/m3) and would become binding when the directive is revised in 2015 (and would still be 20µg/m3, whereas the Commission would not lower the 25µg/m3 at that stage).
I betænkningen opfordrer medlemmerne af Udenrigsudvalget derfor indtrængende Tyrkiet til hurtigst muligt at tage konkrete initiativer til at normalisere forbindelserne til Cypern.
• The report also calls for more flexibility over allowing (five-years according to the Commission) extensions to the deadline in areas or cities which fail to meet the criteria.
Parlamentet er blandt andet skuffet over, at Tyrkiet stadig nægter skibe, der sejler under cypriotisk flag, og cypriotiske fly adgang til havne og lufthavne.
According to the MEPs, the Member States in question would be able have a derogation of 4 year period possibly extendible for a further 2 years, for PM2.5 and PM10 only, provided they submit a plan showing why they cannot meet the ceilings despite measures taken nationally and locally and how they plan to resolve the problem in future.
Ordføreren var selv utilfreds med den formulering, der var blevet vedtaget angående folkemordet i Armenien, fordi han mener, at man ikke kan sætte en anerkendelse af folkemordet som en betingelse for optagelse, når det ikke er en del af Københavnerkriterierne.
• The House also wants greater flexibility over the goal of reducing the population's exposure to this type of pollution by 20% by 2020, by setting differing percentage reductions depending on the recorded concentration levels.
Derfor har han foreslået en ny formulering til afstemningen i morgen.
-//EP//TEXT IM-PRESS 20060925BRI10986 ITEM-010-EN DOC XML V0//EN
Hun takkede på Rådets vegne for Parlamentets betænkning - og forsikrede, at Parlamentets holdninger ville bliver taget til efterretning i Rådet.
Around 80% of the European Union's population live in cities but their needs and interests are often neglected in the EU's funds, projects and strategies.
"Vi deler Europa-Parlamentets bekymring.
In an own-initiative report by Gyula HEGYI (PES, HU), Parliament welcomes a Commission paper on a Thematic Strategy on the Urban Environment (TSUE) but argues that it does not go far enough.
Der skal mere fremdrift og gang i reformerne.
The report was adopted 448 votes in favour, 49 against and 110 abstentions.
