Kritik af medlemslandene i forhold til CIA-flyvninger
MEPs debate alleged CIA renditions ahead of the vote on the final report
Parlamentet vedtog onsdag (382 stemmer for, 256 imod og 74 undlod) en kritik af flere medlemslandes manglende deltagelse i undersøgelsen af CIA's formodede fangetransporter og -lejre i Europa.
The House debated the final report from the Temporary Committee investigating the alleged use of European countries by the CIA for the transportation and illegal detention of prisoners.
Danmark får kun få kommentarer med på vejen, herunder en beklagelse over, at repræsentanter for regeringen ikke mødtes med udvalget.
As an example, he referred to an innocent victim who had been tortured while in detention in Syria and stated that "this was a sample of humanity which was damaged, hurt and humiliated."
I lidt over et år har et særligt udvalg i Europa-Parlamentet undersøgt formodningerne om, at CIA har brugt det europæiske luftrum til ulovlig transport af terrormistænkte fanger, og om at den amerikanske efterretningstjeneste har haft lejre i Europa, hvor de kunne forhøre terrormistænkte fanger.
The Council, he said, could not accept any compromise with regard to human rights, for example the Council has long-stated that Guantanamo Bay should be closed "forthwith".
Onsdag stemte Parlamentet om udvalgets betænkning, der var stærkt omdiskuteret til det sidste.
Many points raised by the temporary committee were under investigation in the Member States through parliamentary inquiries or through the national courts, and it was important for the EU to respect subsidiarity with respect to these investigations.
270 ændringsforslag skulle MEP'erne stemme om.
"A more reticent use of words would have been more appropriate as the Council and the European Parliament are not so far apart on these matters," he said.
Parlamentet opfordrer på baggrund af sin betænkning medlemslandene til at iværksætte selvstændige undersøgelser af overflyvningerne, og opfordrer medlemsstaterne til at indføre et forbud mod eller et kontrolsystem af alle CIA-fly, som man har mistanke om er involveret i fangeoverførsler.
He himself wanted to see two key amendments included, the first saying that the secret services must be allowed to operate secretly "as long as they comply with the law", the second saying that the CIA may fly wherever it wishes "as long as it is not in breach of the law".
Betænkningen appellerer også til en nedlukning af Guantanamo-lejren og opfordrer de europæiske lande til straks at gøre en indsats for at personer, som er statsborgere i de pågældende lande, kan vende tilbage.
He argued that the Fava report issued "a blanket condemnation of the secret services as a whole".
Få bemærkninger om Danmark
But, he stressed, these services "must be allowed to deal with external threats!"
Der er kun få bemærkninger om Danmark i betænkningen.
Council of Europe rapporteur Dick Marty, he added, "shares my view" and moreover has said there is "nothing new in the Fava report".
Udvalget glæder sig over de danske myndigheders samarbejdsvilje, men beklager, at ingen repræsentanter for regeringen fandt det formålstjenligt at mødes med udvalget.
Certainly "we must speak up for human rights even when fighting terrorism" but the Fava report was "predicated on the assumption that there is one chief guilty party and that is the USA".
To danske MEP'ere, Gitte Seeberg (PPE-DE, DK) og Mogens Camre (UEN, DK) har været med i udvalget som stedfortrædere.
Yes, "international terror is a threat and must be combated by all available means" but, on the basis of national and international law, breaches of human rights "must be lambasted".
Hed debat om CIA-flyvninger
This is "not some peccadillo" as some in the committee seemed to be suggesting "it is inhuman, immoral, unjust".
Parlamentet var stærkt delt i dagens debat om de formodede CIA flyvninger og hemmelige fængsler inden dagens afstemning, som afsluttede et års arbejde med at undersøge, om CIA har brugt det europæiske luftrum til flyvninger med fanger, og om CIA har haft hemmelige lejre i Europa.
The committee's work had been to find out "what happened to people who were abducted and tortured, who was behind it?"
Nogle MEP'ere fordømte i stærke vendinger CIA og nogle EU-landes regeringer, mens andre kaldte betænkningen for anti-amerikansk propaganda.
Among other cases, a German citizen in Pakistan was abducted and taken to Guantanamo.
Giovanni Claudio FAVA (PSE, IT) har været ordfører på Parlamentets betænkning.
If there had been anything in this, "he would have been brought to court".
Fava understregede, at Parlamentet ikke repræsenterer regeringerne, og skal vise sin selvstændighed.
"We must remember what our community of values is based on: the rule of law, the separation of powers and democracy".
"Det er vores pligt at udnytte enhver mulighed for at sikre at de ting, der har fundet sted de seneste fem år, ikke finder sted igen," sluttede han.
Lastly, he told the House there were "sins of omission and sins of commission" and the committee's work had been to bring these matters to light.
Fra det tyske formandskab var det statssekretær for Europaanliggender, Günther GLOSER, der havde ordet.
In supporting the Fava report his group would be showing as much concern as anyone about security, including "the secret services, which can work inside the law".
Unionen har dog ikke nogen beføjelser i forhold til overvågning af efterretningstjenesterne, sagde han.
The committee had "uncovered an illegal, sometimes criminal scheme" set up as part of the fight against terrorism.
Han mente ikke, at betænkningens bebrejdelser over for Rådet er berettiget.
The committee had not invented anything: it had met the victims, or rather "those who could come" as "others are still in jail".
"Det er påstande, der lidt for hurtigt er blevet til kendsgerninger," sagde han, og mente ikke, at Parlamentet og Rådet stod så langt fra hinanden, som det kunne se ud til i betænkningen.
Now it wanted to "make a political statement" and send a message to European governments, saying "on behalf of millions of citizens" that "you cannot fight terrorism through a dirty war in our name".
Retskommissær, Franco FRATTINI, lagde i sit indlæg vægt på, at sikkerhed er blevet en grundlæggende rettighed for borgerne efter 11. september.
The twelve months of investigations confirmed fears, but turned up little in the way of new facts, said Konrad SZYMAŃSKI (UEN, PL).
"Sikkerhed er grundlaget for, at frihedsrettighederne kan udøves.
However, this "inconvenient" lack of evidence got left out of the picture, amidst accusations ranging from abduction to torture.
Men sikkerhed er ikke noget, man kan få for enhver pris", sagde han.
In the case of Poland, "there is no proof", so its accusers should "stay silent", he said.
Han takkede Parlamentets udvalg for at have fundet frem til kendsgerninger, der kan blive grundlaget for yderligere undersøgelser, men understregede, at det er regeringerne, der skal foretage de nødvendige undersøgelser og tage de nødvendige skridt.
Yet within Parliament, "some committee members have been dealt with as if this were still the Warsaw Pact era", he said, adding that "if there's nothing to hide, you don't deal with people like this", and that "the acquis communautaire doesn't disappear on accession".
Han gav Rådet ret i, at EU ikke har kompetence til at overvåge efterretningstjenesterne, men mente, at det var vigtigt at få de nødvendige politiske overvejelser om, hvilken rolle de efterretningstjenester skal spille, og mulighederne for mere demokratisk kontrol med den måde, de behandler deres oplysninger på.
Khaled El Masri (a German resident who claims to have been abducted by CIA agents in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) still awaits an apology from the US authorities and clarifications from their German counterparts, said Mr Özdemir, adding that other, similar, cases still need to be investigated in Germany.
"Det vil være et politisk fejltrin, hvis vi giver det indtryk, at det er USA, der er på anklagebænken.
This "is not anti-Americanism - our concern is for human rights and democracy", he concluded.
Vi skal understrege, at det er terroristerne, der sidder på anklagebænken," sagde Frattini.
This report is an "historic step", and the European Parliament has "brought rigour to its task" echoed Giusto CATANIA (GUE/NGL).
Det italienske medlem Jas GAWRONSKI (PPE-DE, IT) talte på vegne af PPE-DE.
Gerard BATTEN (IND/DEM, UK) said the report represented typical "anti-Americanism" and a "grab for more power for the EU".
Han kunne kun anbefale sin gruppe at stemme ja til betænkningen, hvis visse vigtige ændringsforslag blev vedtaget.
Luca ROMAGNOLI (ITS, IT) said that the temporary committee had tried to investigate the allegations, but he could not agree with the report's conclusions which he said, "should be thrown-out".
De to vigtigste var at lade efterretningstjenesterne operere hemmeligt, så længe de ikke overtræder loven samt at give CIA lov til at flyve frit, så længe de heller ikke overtræder loven.
Roger HELMER (NI, UK) said that it was a case of "me too" as the Council of Europe had already produced a report on the matter which one British Minister had described as "having as many holes as a Swiss cheese".
"Det er rigtigt, at den internationale terrorisme truer os, og vi skal bekæmpe den med alle midler," sagde han og understregede, at det skulle være med udgangspunkt i vores retsprincipper.
It is about security, but built within a framework of law in which the security not to end up as a tortured ghost detainee counts too and it is certainly about promoting Europe's values in the world, the ones of democracy, human rights and the rule of law to which Member States signed up in the Treaty.
Han understregede, at vi ikke kan tillade, at efterretningstjenesterne gør som det passer dem, og at regeringerne ikke kan se igennem fingre med ulovligheder, der bliver begået på deres territorier.
He said: 'Our most effective weapon then and now has been Europe's and North America's shared belief in political and economic freedom, religious toleration, human rights, representative government and the rule of law.
Fra den liberale gruppe kunne Ignasi GUARDANS CAMBÓ (ALDE, ES) støtte betænkningen.
Even in Poland, fewer than four out of ten have a mainly positive view of the US.
"Vi er meget bekymrede for sikkerheden, og vi kan ikke støtte tanken om, at den eneste måde at støtte frihedsrettigheder på er at føre en beskidt krig," sagde han.
Europe has failed a test in the last five years, she said, a test of whether it will practise its values or only preach them.
Han pointerede, at udvalget havde fundet frem til, at der var tale om ulovlige og forbryderiske metoder brugt i kampen mod terrorisme.
We have, she continued, lacked the guts to refuse to collude with torture flights and lacked the vision to use Europe's capacity to be a real and united best friend to America and it is about time that we actually practised those values.
Han afviste, at udvalget har optrådt som en domstol.
I have to say that I completely and totally disagree with that.
Konrad SZYMAŃSKI (UEN, PL) mente ikke, at udvalget havde fundet frem til nye oplysninger.
For example, reference to 147 suspected flights into Ireland or 300 flights into Germany is totally unsubstantiated.
"Der er ikke et eneste bevis for, at der er ulovlige fangelejre i Polen," sagde han.
However, Mr Ryan stated that he had an amendment on this.
Han var blandt andet forundret over, at Polen har handlet "som om de stadig var en del af Warsawa-pagten".
Charles TANNOCK (EPP-ED, UK) said: "I was opposed from the very start to the Temporary Committee.
Han afviste, at der var tale om anti-amerikansk propaganda og om at have medlidenhed med terroristerne og understregede, at man godt kan menneskerettighed og transatlantiske bånd samtidig
Regrettably the Left and Liberals cannot resist an opportunity to bash NATO and the United States which, in spite of making mistakes, remains a democracy which shares European common values and is our ally in the fight against global terrorism.
Giusto CATANIA (GUE/NGL, IT) mente, at arbejdet i udvalget havde været nyttigt.
The Fava report is heavy on allegations and accusations, but light on conclusive proof.
Gerard BATTEN (IND/DEM, UK) mente, at Parlamentets betænkning var fuld af spekulationer, og at betænkningen er endnu et udtryk for, at det "altid er populært at være anti-amerikansk og give EU flere beføjelser".
I particularly dislike the request of the British Government to extend consular protection to former UK residents who had not bothered to become citizens, but chosen instead to travel to dangerous parts of the world.
Luca ROMAGNOLI (ITS, IT), der talte på vegne af ITS-gruppen, mente ikke at der var noget nyt i forhold til det, der allerede havde været fremme i pressen.
This is contrary to all the traditional obligations and rights of citizenship of our Member States.
"Det er latterligt at anklage efterretningstjenesterne som vi har gjort her, hvis man ønsker at beskytte befolkningerne mod terrorisme"
Finally, calls for Article 6 and 7 sanctions against Member States are totally unacceptable in my view."
Roger HELMER (NI, UK), som havde ordet for løsgængerne, anklagede udvalget for at være et "jeg-vil-også-udvalg', som blot var kommet efter Europarådets rapport af Dick Marty om samme emne.
Claude MORAES (PES, UK) said "Whatever the political difficulties in this inquiry, above all we had a duty to European citizens not only to investigate existing allegations of rendition, but to ensure that we set a human rights standard in this continent, not just for the current victims but for any future victims and communities who may be affected by rendition or human rights abuse.
"Martys rapport blev kritiseret for at være fuld af huller som en schweizisk ost.
It is important that a credible report goes to Council.
Det er denne betænkning også", sagde Helmer.
We now have the opportunity shortly to vote for such a report, a report which I believe deserves broad support right across this House."
"Hvis vi vedtager denne betænkning, vil terroristerne forstå, at vi er mere interesseret i terroristernes komfort end i de mennesker, deres handlinger går ud over."
To be successful in countering terrorism, we have to defend our democratic and our humanitarian values, not abandon them as too costly or inconvenient.

He said that the Council did not have any competences here, and he rejected out of hand the criticism of Javier Solana, who had, he said, cooperated with the committee "within his means."

Lissabonstrategien: Bæredygtig energipolitik ønskes
Lisbon Strategy: MEPs urge action on labour market, innovation and energy
Onsdag vedtog Parlament med stort flertal (438 for, 103 imod 30 undlod) en betænkning om Lissabonstrategien, som skal fungere som input til regeringsledernes kommende topmøde 8.- 9. marts.
The resolution, adopted by 438 votes in favour to 103 against with 30 abstentions, sets out MEPs' expectations of the spring meeting of EU Heads of State or Government, which is always mainly devoted to economic affairs.
På topmødedagsordenen vil være EU's strategi for at blive den mest konkurrencedygtige vidensøkonomi i 2010.
The Lisbon Strategy, first adopted by EU leaders in 2000, is a package of measures aimed at improving the performance of European economies.
Det er nu syv år siden, at de europæiske stats- og regeringsledere under et topmøde i Lissabon i 2000 satte de ambitiøse mål, at EU inden 2010 skulle være verdens mest konkurrencedygtige vidensøkonomi, med fokus på den økonomiske, sociale og miljømæssige bæredygtighed.
Parliament stresses the interdependence of economic, social and environmental reforms, which, along with growth and employment are the prerequisites for success in creating a dynamic and innovative economy and society.
Siden da har lederne hvert år under forårstopmødet diskuteret fremskridtene og hvordan EU kan komme videre.
MEPs say that the EU should strive to become the most resource- and energy-efficient economic area in the world.
Parlamentet fraråder, at strategien reduceres til nogle enkelte prioriterede mål, som står i forbindelse med det indre marked og bedre lovgivning.
Parliament wants action to raise labour market participation among young people, female and older workers.
En bæredygtig energipolitik
Innovation and trade
Parlamentet understreger desuden, at behovet for at ændre det aktuelle energiproduktionsmix ikke er en byrde, men en udfordring.
They add that the failure to make progress on European patent policy is “exceptionally regrettable,” and call for a new strategy on this from the Commission.
Formandskabet lægger op til, at der kommer anbefalinger til de enkelte lande og til Euro-zonen.
It says there should be a road map to achieve a renewable energy share of 20 per cent by 2020, a target of 30 per cent reduction of CO2 emissions for all industrialised countries by 2020, with a minimum target of 20 per cent for the EU.
a) vækst- og stabilitetsorienteret finansiel og økonomisk politik
MEPs are convinced this cannot go on: they want the upward curve to be halted in 2012 and waste production to start declining from 2020.
b) styrkelse af det indre marked og af Europas konkurrencedygtighed
The main aim of the "hierarchy" is to prevent and reduce waste production.
c) styrkelse af innovation, forskning og uddannelse
For MEPs a crucial point is to reduce the amount of landfill and incineration, both of which cause pollution.
d) fremme af beskæftigelsen og udvikling den europæiske socialmodel
In the end a majority of MEPs rejected the idea that incineration should be regarded as recovery.
På dagsordenen for mødet er ligeledes punkter om bedre lovgivning, hvor der forventes at blive lagt vægt på højere kvalitet i lovgivningen i EU, forenkling og mindskelse af de administrative byrder.
If this option remains in the legislation at the end of the co-decision procedure, those involved in waste processing will no longer be able to opt as easily as they can today for the simple solution of incineration.
Forslag til beslutning
In addition, reduction targets to be reached by 2020 would have to be laid down by 2010.
Afstemning: 14.2.2007 Europa-Parlamentets beslutning om bidrag til forårstopmødet i 2007 i forbindelse med Lissabon-strategien
- introduction of a "proximity principle", i.e. that waste for disposal should be processed in one of the "nearest appropriate installations", regardless of national frontiers;

Bedre beskyttelse af personlige oplysninger
Better geographical data: conciliation agreement approved by EP on INSPIRE
Parlamentet vedtog onsdag en betænkning, der ønsker bedre beskyttelse af de europæiske borgeres personlige oplysninger - både i forhold til oplysninger om bankoverførsler og de oplysninger vi giver, når vi rejser over Atlanten.
Europe needs better map-based information to support its policies, especially on the environment.
Kigger CIA med på kontoen, når vi betaler for at leje et sommerhus i Spanien?
A new database designed to achieve this - known as INSPIRE -should be in place by early 2009.
Og hvad med alle de oplysninger man skal give om sig selv for at få lov til at rejse ind i USA?
Parliament and the Council struck a deal which was approved by MEPs which will enable data to be shared across the EU, without undermining high quality services in the Member States.
I kampen mod terror er særligt de amerikanske myndigheder på jagt efter oplysninger, der kan fælde terroristerne.
All these points were settled at a conciliation meeting on 21 November 2006, with the outcome being described as a "fantastic result" by Frieda Brepoels (EPP-ED, BE), who piloted the legislation through Parliament.
Parlamentet vedtog i dage et beslutningsforslag om de to omdiskuterede problemstillinger angående oplysninger om bankoverførsler (SWIFT) og om passageroplysninger (PNR).
Parliament successfully insisted that the directive should not conflict with the provisions of the Aarhus Convention on access to environmental information nor with Directive 2003/4/EC by which the convention is implemented in the EU - a point stressed by the chair of the EP delegation to the Conciliation Committee, Alejo Vidal-Quadras (EPP-ED, ES).
Parlamentet anerkender, at den fælles brug af data og oplysninger er et værdifuldt instrument i den internationale bekæmpelse af terrorisme og den dertil knyttede kriminalitet, men mener også, at den fælles brug af personoplysninger skal finde sted på et passende retsgrundlag, der er knyttet til klare regler og betingelser, og være omfattet af behørig beskyttelse af privatlivets fred og den enkelte borgers civile frihedsrettigheder.
In this connection, the Council agreed to drop its amendment seeking to allow broad derogations to the application of the 2003 directive on grounds of confidentiality of statistics or of personal data, the wording of the amendment being judged too vague by MEPs.
Begrænset udbredelse af flyoplysninger
This decision was, according to the negotiators, one of the keys to reaching an agreement.
Som det er nu, beder de amerikanske myndigheder om oplysninger i 34 kategorier på de mennesker, der rejser ind i landet.
However, Member States will, for example, be able to restrict public access to network consultation services displaying panoramic views where there is a risk to international relations, public security or national defence.
Parlamentet mener desuden, at en fremtidig langsigtet aftale med USA om passageroplysningerne skal baseres på et tilstrækkeligt beskyttelsesniveau i forbindelse personoplysninger, og at der skal foretages en regelmæssig evaluering af, hvorvidt programmets databeskyttelse er tilstrækkelig og effektiv.
However, because some Member States were concerned about the financial sustainability of their weather forecasting services, a derogation to the principle of free public access will allow the public authorities to levy charges "where such charges are securing the maintenance of spatial data sets and corresponding data services, especially in cases involving large volumes of frequently updated data".
Europa-Parlamentet og om muligt den amerikanske Kongres skal inddrages i udformningen af aftalen, og der skal være en evaluering af aftalen hvert år, der ligeledes skal forelægges for Europa-Parlamentet;
More generally, the question of ensuring the financial viability of public services for supplying spatial data was another key point of the agreement.
