Derivatmarked: skærpede regler og ikke kun gennemsigtighed
Half of EU states to move forward on international divorce legislation
Skrappere regler og ikke kun bedre gennemsigtighed er nødvendige mht. derivater, mener Økonomiudvalgets medlemmer.
Divorce between international couples is set to become the very first issue on which only a limited group of EU countries will legislate, thereby taking the lead over the rest of the EU.
Efter at have været et centralt tema i forbindelse med den græske gældskrise, bliver handel med derivater nu undersøgt på EU-plan.
The trade in derivatives - the often complex financial instruments widely criticised in the wake of the Greek debt crisis - must not only be made less opaque, it must also be regulated more strictly, says a draft resolution by the Economic Affairs Committee.
Nye EU-satellitter kan forbedre indsatsen ved naturkatastrofer
New EU satellites to help response to disasters
Indsatsen under jordskælv, oversvømmelser, olieudslip og andre større naturkatastrofer kan nå hurtigere frem og blive bedre koordineret i fremtiden takket være en ny observationssatellit, som EU vil udvikle inden 2014.
A swifter, more effective response to earthquakes, floods, oil spills and other major disasters should be possible by 2014 thanks to a planned EU earth observation satellite system, once it gets the green light from Parliament.

I en særskilt beslutning om EU's 2020-strategi, vil Parlamentet give sit bud på, hvilken strategi Europa skal følge for at skabe vækst og beskæftigelse i de næste 10 år.
In a separate resolution on the EU2020 strategy, Parliament will aim to set its stamp on the strategy to be followed on economic growth and employment in the next ten years.
Opdatering af EU's handelsforbud for torturredskaber
Updating EU trade ban on torture implements
Handel med fx knipler med pikke, tommelfinger-manchetter og enhver form for våben, der kan give elektrisk stød, skal forbydes i Europa, mener MEP'erne.
EU states should ban all trade in torture implements such as spiked batons, thumb-cuffs and body-worn electric-shock devices, believe MEPs.
Udenrigsudvalget og Udvalget for handel vil tage emnet op på Plenarforsamlingen og bede Kommissionen om at opdatere den eksisterende europæiske lovgivning til også at indbefatte disse artikler på listen over torturredskaber, som bør forbydes eller strengt reguleres.
The EP foreign affairs and international trade committees will raise this issue in plenary, asking the Commission to update current EU law to add these objects to the list of banned or strictly regulated torture equipment.
MEP'erne opfordrer til bedre tilsyn med kreditvurderingsselskaber og oplysninger om underskud
MEPs call for better oversight of credit rating agencies and deficit data
MEP'ernes bekymringer over den måde, kreditvurderingsselskaber undervurderede risikoen og endda bidrog til at forværre krisen i Grækenland, vil blive taget op i en debat med Kommissionen.
MEP's will raise their concerns about the way credit rating agencies (CRAs) underestimated risks and even compounded the Greek crisis, in a debate with the Commission in Strasbourg.
Østersøregionen: "BONUS"-strategi til bekæmpelse af klimaændringer
Globalisation fund: aid to unemployed in Ireland and Spain
For at bekæmpe de negative virkninger af forurening, klimaforandringer, forsuring, overudnyttelse og tab af biodiversitet i Østersøen, vil EU udvikle en fælles forsknings og udviklingsprogram for Østersøen (BONUS), der skal gennemføres af alle 8 EU-lande omkring Østersøen: Danmark, Sverige, Finland, Estland, Letland, Litauen, Tyskland og Polen.
Over 2000 former construction workers in Spain and nearly 600 ex-employees of Irish glass company Waterford Crystal and its suppliers could receive a total of €11 million in aid from the EU Globalisation Adjustment Fund to help with training, business start-ups and job guidance if Parliament backs the measures in Strasbourg.

Grønt lys for Estlands optagelse i euroen
More transparency on derivatives?
Den tyske ordfører Werner Langen Regulering af handlen med credit default swaps EU må ikke isoleres En berømt investor betegnede engang derivater som "finansielle masseødelæggelsesvåben".
German MEP Werner Langen pictured in his office in Brussels Derivatives explained Role in economy under scrutiny A famous investor once likened derivatives to financial weapons of mass destruction.
Disse komplekse finansielle instrumenter har fået en stor del af skylden for forværringen af den finansielle krise.
These complex financial instruments have been blamed for exacerbating the financial crisis and putting many an indebted government in a tight spot.
Men som den tyske ordfører Werner Langen (EPP) påpeger, har derivater også medvirket til at mindske en overflod af risici for både finansielle og ikke-finansielle virksomheder.
However, as German MEP Werner Langen (EPP) says, derivatives also help reduce a plethora of risks faced by financial and non-financial companies.
I sin betænkning understreger han, at gennemsigtighed er nøglen til et mere stabilt derivatmarked.
In his report on the issue, he emphasises that transparency is the key to making the derivatives market safer.
F.eks. kan en direktør for et luftfartsselskab blive bekymret, hvis der udbryder en politisk konflikt i Mellemøsten, da det kan medføre en stigning i prisen på olie (og dermed prisen på brændstof til fly), hvilket kan resultere i store tab for det pågældende selskab.
For example, if you are an airline executive worrying that because of the instability in the Middle East the price of oil and thus of jet fuel will rise steeply in the next six months, that would significantly dent profits or even push the airline into loss-making territory.
Lad os sige, at han i dag køber 10.000 tønder olie for 50 euro per tønde, som vil blive leveret efter seks måneder.
Let's say that you buy today 10,000 barrels of oil for €50 a barrel, to be delivered in six months.
Et mere gennemsigtigt marked
Shedding more light on the market
"Derivater spiller en meget nyttig rolle i økonomien, da de hjælper til med at sprede risikoen.
"Derivatives play a largely useful role in the economy as they help to disperse risk.
Hvis man skal tillade virksomheders fortsatte brug af derivater, er man nødt til at skelne mellem derivater til afdækning af risiko, og dem som er af ren spekulativ karakter.
To allow companies to continue to use derivatives, one must make a distinction between derivatives that are used to hedge risk and those that are of a purely speculative nature," says Mr Langen, explaining the thrust of his report.
Problemet er, at disse finansielle instrumenter ikke har været tilstrækkelig gennemsigtige og regulerede", fortæller Langen.
"What is problematic is that these financial instruments have not been sufficiently transparent and regulated," explains the MEP.
På den måde kan tilsynsmyndighederne få adgang til oplysningerne.
"In the future, derivatives transactions will have to be reported to trade repositories (i.e. data warehouses) by both financial and non-financial firms, so that regulators can access the information.
Dette vil hjælpe os med at skelne mellem de forskellige typer af derivater."
This will help us differentiate between different types of derivatives," says Mr Langen.
Regulering af handlen med credit default swaps
Greece - victim of speculators?
Herudover forslås der en række metoder til at reducere de administrative byrder for de virksomheder, der er slutbrugere af derivater.
They have been blamed for exacerbating the crisis on European bond markets, especially in Greece.
EU må ikke isoleres Langen tror ikke på, at en strengere regulering af derivatmarkedet vil føre til, at udbydere af finansielle tjenesteydelser forlader EU.
Still, in the opinion of many experts, naked CDS, i.e. CDS whose owner doesn't own the underlying bond, but would still collect money in the event of default, are a clear case of speculation.
De regler, som Kommissionen i sidste ende vil foreslå, bør dog udformes således, at EU ikke isoleres internationalt", understreger Langen.
In addition, the report says that some types of highly risky derivatives should only be allowed under certain conditions or, on a case-by-case basis, forbidden," says Mr Langen, outlining another central plank of his report.
Parlamentet vil tage stilling til Langens initiativbetænkning mandag den 14. juni i Strasbourg.
This means that sellers and buyers of CDS and other derivatives would not be able to deal just between themselves, over-the-counter, but would have to go through a clearing house.

Nye fødevareetiketter skal hjælpe forbrugerne
No exodus of financial services
Men medlemmerne af Parlamentets udvalg om Miljø, Folkesundhed og Fødevaresikkerhed er splittede i spørgsmålet om de mulige fordele af den såkaldte "trafik-lys"-mærkning, der skal fremhæve de forskellige indholdsværdier.
Mr Langen says stricter regulation of the derivatives market will not lead to financial services providers leaving the EU.
MEP´erne kritiserer desuden Kommissionens for at have udarbejdet forordningsforslaget uden at indhente de nødvendige videnskabelige ekspertudtalelser.
"After all, the US and the G20 governments have all unequivocally expressed their support for better regulation of this market and are already drafting legislation to this effect."
F.eks. når det gælder ikke-færdigpakkede fødevarer som f.eks. bageri- og charcuterivarer, restauranter osv., skal det påhvile medlemsstaterne at fastsætte de nationale ordninger.
The rules that the Commission will eventually propose, should be such as not to isolate the EU internationally when it comes to derivatives trading, warns Mr Langen.
"Da hovedparten af fødevarevirksomhederne i EU markedsfører deres produkter i mere end én medlemsstat, skal der således produceres særlige emballager.
Developments in the US and other G20 markets should therefore be followed.
De yderligere udgifter hertil ville andrage mange milliarder af euro", vurderer Sommer, som mener, at det i særlig høj grad vil ramme de mange små fødevarevirksomheder.
The own-initiative report will be presented to the plenary on Monday, 14 June.
Sarah Ludford: Vi skal sikre retten til retfærdig rettergang
Sarah Ludford MEP on why justice shouldn't be lost in translation
Vi talte med britiske Sarah Ludford (ALDE), som har udarbejdet Parlamentets betænkning om emnet.
It is a win-win situation", says rapporteur and British Liberal MEP Sarah Ludford about providing suspects and defendants with interpretation and translation.
Hvorfor har vi brug for nye regler på dette område?
Sarah Ludford, why is this piece of EU legislation needed?
Det er nødvendigt for at styrke de mistænktes og tiltaltes rettigheder og for at garantere en retfærdig rettergang.
It's needed to strengthen the rights of suspects and defendants and to give safeguards necessary to ensure fair trials.
Det har de sidste 10 år været bredt anerkendt, at vi har behov for disse foranstaltninger, som skal supplere den europæiske arrestordre.
It's been recognised for 10 years that we need these measures and they complement the European Arrest Warrant (EAW).
Alle EU´s medlemsstater er parter i den europæiske menneskerettighedskonvention, så i teorien bør alle levere de tilstrækkelige standarder for en retfærdig rettergang.
All EU Member States are parties to the European Convention on Human Rights so in theory they should be delivering adequate fair trial standards.
Men i praksis har der desværre hverken været tale om en tilstrækkelig eller konsekvent implementering af reglerne.
But in practice, unfortunately, there has not been adequate or consistent implementation.
Vi sætter "kød på knoglerne" ved at styrke og øge kvaliteten af strafferetsplejen i hele Den Europæiske Union.
We're putting flesh on the bones to really strengthen and raise the quality of criminal justice across the EU, so that there are no miscarriages of justice.
Så når folk bliver overdraget eller udleveret i henhold til den europæiske arrestordre vil de blive behandlet retfærdigt.
It will also ensure that when people are surrendered or extradited under the EAW or simply arrested in another State where they happen to be - they will be dealt with fairly.
Hvordan vil direktivet kunne sikre en mere retfærdig rettergang?
How will the directive ensure fairer trials?
Direktivet fastslår, at hvis du bliver mistænkt for en forbrydelse, vil du blive anholdt, forhørt og stillet for retten.
The directive says that if you become a suspect, you are arrested, questioned, or put on trial, and you don't understand the language of the country you are arrested or tried in, you have a right for interpretation and translation both for hearings, questioning and meetings with your lawyer - under certain conditions.
Forstår du ikke sproget i det land, som du er blevet arresteret i, har du krav på tolkning og oversættelse.
Broadly, you got to be put in the same position as somebody who is a local and understands the local language.
Det gælder både i forbindelse med afhøringer og advokatmøder.
If you get all of us having confidence in all of our justice systems, then you will increase cooperation and you will catch more criminals.
Groft sagt: du bliver tilbudt de samme vilkår som en lokal person, der forstår det lokale sprog.
The case of Gary Mann: In the early 2000s he was arrested and tried as an alleged football hooligan.
Større retfærdighed er ensbetydende med hurtigere retfærdighed Det er tale om en win-win situation.
Misunderstandings due to language were a major, probably a determining part of this travesty of justice.
Vil tolkning og oversættelse være begrænset til de officielle EU-sprog?
Will interpretation/translation be restricted to official EU languages?
Hvad med mindretalssprog?
What about smaller minority languages?
Det er op til medlemsstaterne at beslutte.
That is up to the Member States.
Det ville være umuligt at opstille en komplet liste over sprog.
It would be impossible to draw up a list of languages that must be covered.
Medlemsstaterne skal sikre, at enhver, der er tiltalt, og som ikke forstår eller taler det pågældende sprog, får stillet en oversætter til rådighed.
They shall insure that anyone who is prosecuted who does not understand or speak the language of the criminal proceeding is provided without delay with interpretation.
Man skal som tiltalt være i en situation, hvor man forstår, hvad der forgår.
You have to put them in a situation where they understand, it's a matter of individual assessment.
Hvem skal betale for tolkningen/oversættelsen?
Who will pay for the interpretation/translation costs?
Mit svar til det er: ja, men så bliver vi nødt til at udnytte vores strafferetlige budgetter på en bedre måde.
They say this is going to be costly and we live in a period of fiscal stringency, but my answer to that is yes, but we've got to make better use of the criminal justice budgets we have.
Hvis du gør det rigtigt den første gang, kan du faktisk spare penge - appelsager er meget omkostningskrævende.
If you get it right first time, you can actually save money; appeals are very costly.
Når alt kommer til at er et dårligt fungerende retsvæsen dyrt - både økonomisk og når det kommer til ens omdømme.
Getting wrong justice, in the end, is costly in money and in one's reputation.
Et godt retsvæsen handler om effektiv retspleje.
Good justice is efficient justice.
Retfærdighed for pengene er bedre end "billig retfærdighed".
You want best value justice rather than cheap justice.
Billig retfærdighed er det samme som ingen retfærdighed.
EU governments agree on directive on 4 June.
Åbning af samlingen i Strasbourg
Opening of Strasbourg session
Jerzy Buzek talte om 70-årsdagen for invasion af Estland, Letland og Litauen og mindede forsamlingen om, at Europa-Parlamentet i 1983 fordømte USSRs annektering af De Baltiske Stater.
Reminding the House that this weekend had seen the 70th anniversary of the invasions of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, Mr Buzek added that in 1983 the EU had condemned the annexation of these countries, which had never been recognised by the majority of states in the world.
Formanden nævnte dernæst 1-året for det iranske valg samt de 488 henrettelser, der har fundet sted i landet inden for det sidste år, mens tusinder stadig sidder fængslet - flere med udsigt til dødsstraf.
Regarding the anniversary of the Iranian elections, Mr Buzek pointed out that 488 executions had taken place in the last 12 months and that thousands were still in jail, some facing the death penalty.
Europa-Parlamentet fordømte manglen på frihed i Iran og formanden udtrykte Parlamentets modstand mod dødsstraf.
The EP condemned the lack of freedom in Iran and was utterly opposed to the death penalty.
Buzek nævnte også sine besøg i Grækenland og Rumænien, hvor formanden havde understreget sin støtte til disse lande i den svære situation, de står overfor.
He had also made official visits to Greece and Romania, where he had expressed support for these countries in the situation they faced.
Endelig Buzek udtrykte sin forhåbning om, at Belgien, Slovakiet og Holland hurtigt vil danne nye regeringer efter de seneste valghandlinger.
Mr Buzek also voiced the hope that, following elections in Belgium, Slovakia and the Netherlands, these countries would be able to form governments swiftly.
Jürgen Klute ønsker bedre tilsyn med kreditvurderingsselskaberne
Rein in the rating agencies, says Jürgen Klute
MEP'ernes bekymringer over den måde, hvorpå kreditvurderingsselskaberne bidrog til at forværre krisen i Grækenland, vil blive taget op i en debat tirsdag.
With their ratings closely watched by investors, the agencies' verdict on the soundness of governments' finances can raise the costs of borrowing for a country to unsustainable levels, as the Greek case has shown.
Vi talte med Jürgen Klute (De Grønne, Tyskland), der har fremsat en mundtlig forespørgsel til Kommissionen angående kreditvurderingsselskabernes fremtidige rolle i europæisk økonomi.
We contacted German MEP Jürgen Klute of the leftist GUE/NGL bloc who is one of the five MEPs that will be putting questions on the role of rating agencies to the European Commission on Tuesday.
Hvad er din mening om den rolle, som kreditvurderingsselskaberne spillede i tiden op til finanskrisen?
What is your view on the role credit rating agencies played in the run-up to the financial crisis, especially when rating financial instruments linked to mortgages and real estate market?
Har der været tale om en interessekonflikt, hvor de er blevet betalt af de virksomheder, som solgte finansielle produkter til investorerne?
Has there been a conflict of interest, with agencies being paid by the firms that sold these financial products to investors?
Kreditvurderingsselskaberne fejlede i forbindelse med kriserne i 1990'erne, de fejlede i forbindelse med Enron-sagen i begyndelsen af det nye årtusinde, de fejlvurderede de finansielle produkter baseret på amerikanske boliglån i 2007, og de fortsatte med at give Lehman Brothers høje ratings, selvom investeringsbanken allerede vaklede.
Credit rating agencies failed in the crises of the 1990s, they failed again in the Enron case at the start of the new millennium, they provided incorrect assessments of financial products based on US mortgages in 2007 and they kept on giving Lehman Brothers high ratings, although the investment bank was already teetering.
De tre store kreditvurderingsselskaber, Standard & Poor's, Moody's og Fitch er private børsnoterede selskaber.
The big three rating agencies, Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch, are private listed companies.
De bliver tildelt rollen som dommer, selvom de samtidig er aktører på det finansielle marked.
They are granted the role of a referee when, at the same time, they are also players in the financial playing field, aiming for the highest possible returns.
I øjeblikket ønsker virksomheder, som udsteder værdipapirer, obligationer og andre finansielle produkter, at sælge til investorerne.
Currently, companies that issue securities pay for the rating of stocks, bonds and other financial products they want to sell to investors.
At få investorerne, ikke udstederne, til at betale for flere og mere objektive ratings ville bringe et minimum af retfærdighed ind i kampen.
Making investors, not issuers, pay for several, more objective ratings would bring a minimum of fairness into the match.
I de seneste uger har vi set, hvordan kreditvurderingsselskaber kan få hele økonomiers låneomkostninger til at stige voldsomt, når de vælger at nedgradere bestemte lande.
In recent weeks we have seen how rating agencies can make the costs of borrowing rise for whole economies when they downgrade particular countries.
Skal kreditvurderingsselskaberne overhovedet have så stor en indflydelse?
Given their track record, do you think that credit rating agencies should wield such influence?
Stater må ikke forveksles med virksomheder.
States must not be mistaken for companies.
Staterne organiserer den måde, som samfundet fungerer på.
They organize and decide about the way societies live together.
Meget høje renter til Grækenland kan måske bidrage til en rekapitalisering af de internationale banker, men kreditvurderingsselskaberne gambler i sidste ende med deres egen troværdighed.
Very high interest rates for Greece might serve the recapitalization of international banks, but agencies are finally gambling their credibility away.
I dag virker det som om, at kreditvurderingsbranchen er meget bedre til at skabe risici end til at vurdere risici.
Today, the rating business is far away from assessing risk, it is rather creating risk.
Hvad skal der efter din mening gøres for at bringe kreditvurderingsbranchen mere i tråd med den europæiske økonomi?
What should in your opinion be done to make rating business in Europe more in line with what the economy really needs?
Den indflydelse, som private kreditvurderingsselskaber har på det offentlige liv er blevet misbrugt, og vi må nu begrænse denne indflydelse.
The power that private rating agencies exercise over public life has been abused, now we must limit this power.
Men jeg tvivler på, at det er nok.
Yet, I doubt that this will be enough.
Efter privatiseringen af de offentlige banker, har de fleste europæiske lande haft det grundlæggende problem, at de er blevet afhængige af de finansielle markeder.
After the privatization of formerly public banks, the constitutive problem for most European countries is their dependence on financial markets.
Den Europæiske Centralbank (ECB) er nødt til at revurdere sine politikker og lære af sine naboer.
European Central Bank (ECB) needs to re-assess its policies and learn from its neighbours.
Kravet om at kunne foretage vurderinger af en "vis kvalitet" som betingelse for at kunne købe statsobligationer i Eurozonen har givet kreditvurderingsselskaberne en officiel rolle, som de ikke fortjener.
Making a rating of a particular quality a condition for purchasing Eurozone government bonds has conferred to agencies an official role they do not deserve.
