I begyndelsen var forsendelser under 350 gram fritaget fra direktivets bestemmelser om liberalisering, men denne grænse blev sat ned til 100 gram i 2002 og til 50 gram i januar 2006.
"The heroes of Gaza have proven once again that no fortified wall can imprison the free spirit of humanity and no form of violence can subdue life", said French MEP Francis Wurtz for the GUE/NGL group, quoting a statement made at the gates of Gaza the previous Saturday by Israeli peace campaigner and Sakharov prize winner Mrs Nurit Peled.
Direktivet fra 1997 (og en senere ændring i 2002) lagde op til en fuld åbning af markederne i 2009.
Mr Wurtz stressed that "anyone can see the dual danger emerging on the side of the Israeli leadership.
Den danske regering støttede i sin tid Kommissionens forslag om en åbning af markederne i 2009, men har ikke meldt endeligt ud, hvornår liberaliseringen i Danmark vil finde sted.
The first is the desire forcibly to close, or have closed, this narrow space of freedom.
I Danmark har Post Danmark, som siden 2005 har været delvist privatiseret, haft monopol på håndteringen af breve under 50 gram.
The second, more generally, is to pass off on to Egypt the responsibility of being the occupying power vis-à-vis Gaza".

MEP'ere ønsker færre bifangster og udsmidning af fisk
MEPs highlight "ghettoisation" of Roma and call for EU anti-discrimination measures
I en betænkning, som Europa-Parlamentet vedtog torsdag med 616 stemmer for og 22 imod, mener MEP'erne, at det bør forbydes at smide lovlige fisk ud.
The European Parliament adopted a report warning of the risks of anti-Gypsyism promoted by extremists and calling for fresh efforts to integrate Roma through positive measures in housing, health, education and employment.
Hvert år bliver tusindvis af tons fisk smidt over bord fra fiskefartøjerne i EU.
Of the 12 to 15 million Roma living in Europe, about 10 million live in EU countries.
Alene i Nordsøen skønnes det, at det drejer sig om mellem 500.000 og 880.000 tons fisk.
The majority became EU citizens after the 2004 and 2007 enlargements.
I initiativbetænkningen af Carl SCHLYTER (Verts/ALE, SV), glæder Parlamentet sig over Kommissionens meddelelse om en "EU handlingsplan for begrænsning af genudsætning af fisk."
It asks "the European Commission to make an assessment of the implementation of those commitments and of the current situation of the Roma in all EU Member States".
MEP'erne understreger, at EU's politik skal omfatte alle former for bifangster og bør fremme miljøvenlige fangstmetoder.
The Commission should therefore support active programmes to end Romani slums and provide housing for Roma citizens.
MEP'erne udtrykker dog bekymring over, at er sket meget få fremskridt i forhold til at udarbejde en EU-handlingsplan for søfugle og hajer, selvom Kommissionen forpligtede sig til det i 1999.
Parliament also urged Member States to solve the problem of camps, "where there are no hygienic and safety standards at all and where a large number of Romani children die in domestic accidents, particularly fires".
For at håndhæve forbuddet foreslås det, at man som forsøg installerer videoovervågningskameraer på nogle fartøjer.
Deploring the fact that segregation in education is still tolerated in the Member States, MEPs call on the Commission to look for new ways of tightening up anti-discrimination legislation in this field and to report back to the EP within one year.
Bedre fangstmetoder skal belønnes For at få fiskerne til at smide færre fisk ud, mener MEP'erne også, at der skal kunne gives fordele til de fiskere, der går over til bedre fangstmetoder.
The Roma community also suffers "unacceptably high levels of unemployment", according to the resolution.
Det kan for eksempel være ved at give dem flere hav-dage, eller at give de mere 'miljøvenlige' fartøjer adgang til områder, hvor andre ikke har adgang, eller til at fiske på tidspunkter hvor andre ikke må.
The Commission is urged to support the integration of the Roma into the labour market through training, retraining and other measures, and also to consider granting micro-credits to Roma to help them start up small businesses.
I farvandene omkring Danmark er der allerede flere initiativer i forhold til at bruge nye teknikker, for eksempel har det siden 2004 været obligatorisk at have sorteringsriste i de trawl, der fanger jomfruhummere i Kattegat og Skagerrak, hvilket har været med til at sikre, at færre unge jomfruhummere bliver smidt ud.
Lastly, MEPs urge the Commission to "shape a Community Action Plan on Roma Inclusion", to give one Commissioner "responsibility for coordinating a Roma policy" and "to promote Roma staff within its structure".
Reglerne finder dog kun anvendelse på svenske fartøjer.

Medlemslande skal gøre mere for at spare på energien, mener MEP'ere
MEPs call for withdrawal of patio heaters from the market in energy efficiency report
MEP'erne kommer med en række konkrete forslag, og ønsker blandt andet, at Kommissionen kommer med en deadline for, hvornår udendørs varmeapparater skal fjernes fra markedet.
MEPs back the report from Fiona HALL (ALDE, UK Liberal Democrat North East), underlining their support for the Action Plan's aim of "improving energy efficiency by over 20% by 2020."
At spare på energien og udnytte energien mere effektivt er en af de bedste og billigste måder at mindske udledningerne af CO2 i atmosfæren, og kan derfor være med til at forhindre drastiske klimaændringer.
Speaking in the debate in Brussels on 30 January Fiona Hall said: "On appliances, Parliament’s report welcomes the proposal to put in place minimum energy performance requirements coupled with a dynamic system of energy labelling, to keep up with advances in technology.
Desuden kan en mere effektiv udnyttelse af energien også gøre EU mindre afhængig af energi udefra, mener MEP'erne i betænkningen, som blev vedtaget torsdag.
But our report calls on the Commission to come forward with a one-watt performance requirement for standby, and to carry out an analysis of the potential energy savings to be made from eliminating standby altogether.
De bakker op om Kommissionens planer og målsætninger, der skal give EU-borgerne en mere energi-effektiv infrastruktur og gøre mere for at få os alle til at spare på energien.
Our report also urges the Commission to set a timetable for taking completely off the market some very energy-inefficient items of equipment, such as patio heaters."
I betænkningen ser MEP'erne nærmere på Kommissionens handlingsplan for energieffektivitet, som har til formål at forbedre energieffektiviteten med 20 % inden 2020.
Avril Doyle (Fine Gael, East, EPP-ED, IE) said: "Parliament's report has been rightly critical of both the Commission and Member States for not doing more to implement existing energy-efficiency legislation.
Parlamentet bakker op om Kommissionens planer, men understreger, at medlemslandene skal være bedre til at gennemføre reglerne om energieffektivitet.
This pressure has resulted in the Commissioner augmenting his staff in the area of energy efficiency; underscoring the priority the Commission is finally giving to energy efficiency in order to contribute to a reduction of our CO2 emissions and to help tackle the critical issue of climate change."
Lavere moms som incitament Energieffektivitet handler både om, at vi hver især skal huske at slukke lyset, computeren og andre elektriske apparater, men også om at sikre den bedste udnyttelse af den energi, vi bruger, f.eks. ved at gøre nye bygninger mere energieffektive.
The European Parliament considers that a target of improving energy efficiency by over 20% by 2020, in addition to any improvements due to autonomous structural or price effects, is entirely feasible technically and economically, and calls on the Commission and the Member States to ensure that this objective as well as the climate change targets are met.
For at få flere til at udnytte energien bedre mener MEP'erne, at medlemslandene bør overveje at nedsætte momsen på de udgifter, der er i forhold til forbedringer af huse, der gør dem mere energieffektive, f.eks. ved isolering.
Major points from the report, which were adopted in plenary by the European Parliament's, include:
De ønsker også, at der skal være bindende mål for energieffektivitet for alle nye bygninger i forhold til opvarmning og eventuel aircondition.
The need for speedy adoption of energy performance standards for key products already agreed, such as air conditioning, boilers, TV set-top boxes;
Spare-pærer, stand-by og cafévarmere Og alt tæller med, når der skal spares på energien.
A call for phasing out of inefficient light bulbs, and of patio heaters.
MEP'erne er således glade for, at Kommissionen har holdt fast ved tidsplanen for at fjerne de mest energislugende elektriske pærer fra markedet.
A call for all new and renovated buildings to be included in a revision of the Buildings Directive from 2009 (rather than keeping the existing 1000m2 threshold);
I forhold til de mange apparater, der har stand-by-funktion, opfordrer MEP'erne Kommissionen til at foreslå et 'énwatts-krav' og til at se nærmere på de besparelser, der kan opnås ved at minimere og afskaffe unødvendigt stand-by forbrug.
Drastic cuts in carbon emissions are necessary to prevent chaotic climate change, says the House, and "the most immediate and cost-effective way of achieving them is to use energy more efficiently" - which is precisely what the Action Plan for Energy Efficiency intends to ensure.
MEP'erne mener også, at der skal ses nærmere på energisyndere som de udendørs varmeapparater, der er blevet populære i forbindelse med, at mange lande har indført rygeforbud på restauranter og caféer.
More efficient energy use, MEPs note, would also reduce the EU's dependency on energy imports.
Parlamentet vil i den forbindelse have Kommissionen til at komme med en tidsplan for, hvornår store energisyndere, som f.eks. udendørs varmeapparater, helt skal fjernes fra markedet.
The House also backs the Plan's scope and key objectives: to provide EU citizens with the most energy-efficient infrastructure, buildings, appliances, processes, transport means and energy systems, as well as to encourage citizens to use energy in the most rational manner possible.
Gennemførelsen halter Selvom MEP'erne generelt er tilfredse med Kommissionens plan, kritiserer de dog, at medlemslandene ikke har været gode nok til at prioritere gennemførelsen af reglerne for energieffektivitet.
Inadequate implementation by Commission and Member States
Den 10. januar 2008 havde Kommissionen således kun modtaget 19 handlingsplaner fra medlemslandene, selvom deadline var 30. juni 2007.
However, MEPs criticise the fact that "of 21 Commission actions scheduled for completion in 2007 only three had been fully carried out by 1 September 2007."

Klimapolitik: MEP'ere støtter Bali-køreplanen, men vil have politikken for biobrændstoffer revideret
MEPs adopt simplified regime for the control of visas in Bulgaria, Romania and Cyprus
Parlamentet understregede, at industrilandene skal mindske deres udledninger af drivhusgasser med mindst 30 % i 2020 og med mellem 60- 80 % i 2050 - i forhold til 1990.
It will enable Member States belonging to Schengen to recognise unilaterally certain residence documents issued by Switzerland and Liechtenstein, also for transit purposes.
De glæder sig dog over, at Kyoto-protokollens parter har anerkendt, at det er nødvendigt at opnå reduktioner på mellem 25-40 % i de industrialiserede lande inden 2020.
The EU has to re-attract competent researchers and prevent a further outflow from the EU, says the European Parliament in its own-initiative report on the European Research Area adopted with 602 votes in favour, 18 against and 6 abstentions.
MEP'erne ønsker også, at der i WTO-regi skal tages initiativer til at fremme fremstilling og eksport af klimavenlige produkter.
The EU is far behind its objective to increase its average funding of research and development to 3% of the GDP by 2010, says the own-initiative report by Umberto GUIDONI (EUL/NGL, IT).
EU's politik for biobrændsler skal revideres Parlamentet opfordrer også til, at EU's politik for biobrændstoffer hurtigst muligt bliver revideret for at koncentrere sig særligt om brændstoffernes bæredygtighed i hele deres livscyklus - fra marken til brændstof.
The report underlines the importance of increasing the average spending as well as raising expenditure in some Member States and highlights the importance of better focussing the diverse research and development efforts throughout the Union, especially in order to facilitate the transition towards the digital economy.
Parlamentet understreger, at strategier for udvikling og indførelse af biobrændstoffer som energimulighed skal være bæredygtig og sikre mod negative konsekvenser det kunne have miljømæssigt, socialt og økonomisk.
The committee says that this is fundamental for the creation of appropriate conditions for the achievement of the knowledge-based economy called for in the Lisbon Strategy.

På uddannelsesområdet ønsker MEP'erne, at lovgivningen mod raceadskillelse skal styrkes, så romaerne bliver integreret i skolerne.
If discard bans are adopted for specific fisheries, then "in order to avoid perverse incentives such as creating a market for small fish or fish caught without quotas, such fish should not be marketed directly under any circumstances".
Omkring 10 millioner romaer bor i EU - de fleste i de nye lande, som blev medlemmer I 2004 og 2007.
The House considers that "the vessels may be compensated for the costs incurred in bringing to shore what they would have discarded".
De henviser til, at sigøjnerfjendtlighed eller romafobi stadig er udbredt i Europa og mener, at romaernes holocaust under nazismen bør anerkendes fuldt ud.
According to the EP, the most sensible way to proceed is by choosing a number of pilot fisheries, based upon the quantity of discards produced or on the conservation status of the species involved.
Derfor mente MEP'erne også, at den opfedning af svin, som finder sted i den tidligere koncentrationslejr i Lety, Tjekkiet, er uværdig og bør stoppes.
The pilot projects should be selected in several zones to represent the geographical variety of Community fisheries.
I stedet bør der opsættes et mindesmærke til ære for ofrene.
While these pilot projects are proceeding, other fisheries should be evaluated for their discard rate.
Parlamentet beder EU-Kommissionen om at undersøge mulighederne for at styrke lovgivningen mod forskelsbehandling på uddannelsesområdet, særligt med henblik på at stoppe raceadskillelsen.
MEPs adopted a co-decision report by 599 votes in favour to 9 against and 17 abstentions drawn up by Philippe MORILLON (ALDE, FR) on a proposal aiming to replace the current Community legislation on the submission by Member States of statistics on aquaculture production, which has been in force for more than ten years.
MEP'erne opfordrer Kommissionen til at styrke indsatsen og finansieringen af aktioner i medlemslandene og støtte programmer til positiv særbehandling af roma'er i gymnasier og på erhvervsskoler.
MEPs also add that within three years of this regulation coming into force, and every three years thereafter, the Commission shall submit an "evaluation report" to the EP and to the Council on the statistics compiled and, in particular, on their relevance and quality.
Parlamentet understreger, at det er vigtigt i at inddrage de lokale myndigheder i forhold til at fremme integrationen af romaer.
It provides for Member States to submit annual data on the volume of aquaculture production to the Commission.

MEP'ere: Irans atomprogram skal være mere gennemsigtigt
European Parliament "calls on Iran to restore the transparency of its nuclear programme"
Javier Solana
MEPs debate the situation in Iran with Javier Solana
"Hvis de udvikler atomvåben, vil det være meget skadeligt og skabe ustabilitet i Mellemøsten," sagde Solana, og tilføjede, at det ville være til skade for ikke-spredningsaftalen.
The need for cautious engagement with Iran was the keynote of the opening speech by CFSP High Representative Javier SOLANA , who told the House that Iran was "one of the most important issues on the international community's agenda today" as well as "a key country in the Middle East.
I forhold til spørgsmålet om, hvorfor Iran har behov for at berige uran, savner Solana stadig klare svar fra de iranske myndigheder.
Since 2004 Iran has been unwilling to participate in the human rights dialogue with the EU .
Da Iran tilsyneladende ikke har noget våbenprogram i i gang, og deres civile atomkraft får leveret uran, er det ikke nogen officiel grund til, at landet skal berige uran.
Energy, drug trafficking and counter-terrorism were areas on which the EU would like to cooperate with Iran but it was difficult to see the country as a constructive partner.
Hun understregede, at det er vigtigt at fortsætte samarbejdet med den civile befolkning.
On the basis of the National intelligence estimate, one could not be sure that the country is not pursuing them.
Militær indgriben bør ikke udelukkes
Mr Belder underlined that "we should be bolstering the role of the IAEA."
Sanktioner ikke en løsning
However, "we believe in a two-state solution, they don't.
Angelika BEER (Verts/ALE, DE) sagde, at det var vigtigt at sikre, at dagens debat ville blive fulgt i Iran.
As to the nuclear question, Mr Solana told the House that "the outstanding issues have never been resolved".
"Det store antal kandidater til valget viser, at der er interesse for demokratiet," sagde hun.
Iran is a signatory to the NPT and so it "has obligations".
Mod krigstrusler
British speakers in the debate
Tobias PFLÜGER (GUE/NGL, DE) mente, at der var behov for et moratorium i forhold til atom-spørgsmålet.
Gerard BATTEN (IND/DEM, UK, UKIP, London) stated that "Iran plans to build 5000 more centrifuges.
Godt og dårligt nyt
Five people had their hands or feet amputated.
Bastiaan BELDER (IND/DEM, NL) sagde, at der var godt nyt og dårligt nyt fra Iran.
Men and women continue to be stoned to death by this Jihadist, misogynous, homophobic, genocidal, brutal regime which is a world sponsor of terror."
Den gode nyhed var, at oppositionen ikke bakkede op om Ahmadinejads udtalelser om Holocaust.
"If we wish really to support Iranian students, we should support the brave students of Tehran University, who have been demonstrating for the past five days, demanding regime change.
Den dårlige nyhed var, at Iran havde sagt, at det ville få alvorlige konsekvenser, hvis resolutionen fra FN's sikkerhedsråd bliver vedtaget.
Charles TANNOCK (EPP-ED, London, Conservative, UK) stated that "Iran remains a danger to the stability of the world and the Middle East.
Belder understregede, at det derfor var vigtigt at styrke FN's atomagentur IAEA.
Our message must be clear and uncompromising, Mr Tannock stated - "Iran will not be allowed by the international community to arm itself with nuclear weapons."
Trussel mod verdensfreden
European Commission response
Philip CLAEYS (NI, BE) understregede, at regimet i Iran er og bliver en fare for stabiliteten i mellemøsten.
In her response to the debate, Benita Ferrero-Waldner said there was a huge civil society in Iran that would like to have a different way of life, but there was a very difficult regime.
