Mandagens høringer med Rehn, Lewandowski, Piebalgs og Ashton
Round-up: Ashton, Lewandowski, Piebalgs & Rehn hearings Monday
EuroparlTV: Høringerne med Ashton og Lewandowski Europa-Parlamentet afholdte mandag fire høringer med de indstillede kommissærer med ansvar for henholdsvis økonomi, budget, udvikling og udenrigspolitik.
Round-up: Ashton, Lewandowski, Piebalgs & Rehn hearings Monday In a day of Q&amp;A in Brussels, candidates for the EU's top foreign policy, economics, budget and development Commissioner posts were quizzed by MEPs on their priorities.
Rehn lovede, at han i sit nye job ville arbejde for "fremtidsperspektiver for vækst og velstand".
She said the EU was now able to assume a "stronger, more credible role in the world".
Flere MEP´er rejste spørgsmålet om, hvordan der kunne skabes et bedre finansielt tilsynssystem.
Questioned on the scope of the new European External Action Service (EEAS) which she is tasked with setting up, she said "it would be subject to full scrutiny by Parliament".
Rehn svarede, at han ville bruge Lissabontraktatens værktøjer til at styrke koordineringen og uddybe den forebyggende overvågning.
On Russia she said that the EU needed a strong relationship with Moscow and on energy, she advocated "diversification of sources of supply".
Han mente, at euroens stabilitets- og vækstpagt er det rette instrument til at genoprette den økonomiske stabilitet, da pagten udstikker konkrete retningslinjer, som medlemsstaterne er forpligtiget til at følge.
In reply to questions on Afghanistan and the EU's strategy and military presence in Afghanistan, she replied that the Union needs to "provide concrete results about what we do for the citizens of Afghanistan".
Angående Kommissionens ambitiøse 2020-strategi, sagde Olli Rehn, at det var vigtigt, at medlemsstaterne bakkede op om målsætningerne og bidrog ved at fremme innovation, investeringer i uddannelse og anvendelse af grønne teknologier.
On the crisis in the Middle East she said that she would be meeting with US and Quartet peace envoys Senator George Mitchell and Tony Blair on Tuesday (12 January) to discuss the way forward.

Lewandowski: "Europe is not ready for a European tax"
Lewandowski: Europa er ikke parat til EU-skatter Idéen om en særlig EU-skat, muligheden for en forlængelse af EU's flerårige budget samt uregelmæssigheder i brugen af EU-støttemidler var gennemgående temaer, da den kommende polske budgetkommissær, Janusz Lewandowski, stillede op til høring i Parlamentets budgetudvalg.
The idea of an EU tax, a review and possible prolongation of EU's multi-annual budget and irregularities in spending of EU funds were some of the key questions put to Polish Budgets Commissioner-designate, Janusz Lewandowski, by the Budget and Budgetary Control committees.
Lewandowski understregede, at Europa har brug for en række fokusområder i den kommende regnskabsperiode, og at disse kunne være områder som miljø og klimaændringer.
He also said Europe needed a "key orientation" for the coming budget period and that this could be the environment or climate change.
Du kan nedenfor læse Pressetjenestens fulde dækning af høringen.
He noted that Key budget control problems were cohesion and external policy.
Piebalgs understregede vigtigheden af, at EU opretholder sin rolle som "fortaler for den tredje verden."
Mr Piebalgs stressed the need "to maintain the EU's role as a champion of the developing world" and agreed that "it would be wrong to give money with one hand and take it away with another policy."
Han mente, at de økonomiske midler til bekæmpelse af klimaforandringer bør adskilles fra midlerne til fattigdomsbekæmpelse.
He also noted that climate change and poverty eradication should be funded separately.
Han så frem til et tæt og frugtbart samarbejde med EU´s højtstående repræsentant for udenrigsanliggender og sikkerhedspolitik og lovede at stå til rådighed for Europa-Parlamentet i den kommende embedsperiode.
He said he was looking forward to a fruitful cooperation with High Representative Ashton and promised to be available for the EP “seven days out of seven and 24 hours out of 24”.

Rehn - Stability and Growth pact must be adhered to
Ashton: EU skal have en styrket udenrigspolitisk rolle
An exit strategy to the current crisis and healthier public finances are what Finnish Economic Affairs Commissioner-designate, Olli Rehn, called for in his hearing with MEPs on Monday.
Hun anså Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Somalia og Yemen som eksempler på lande, som EU bør holde eksta øje med i den kommende tid.
Mr Rehn said he would use Lisbon Treaty tools to step up co-ordination in the euro area and deepen preventive surveillance between countries.
Ahston sagde, at den nye europæiske udenrigstjeneste (EEAS) vil bliver underlagt "fuld kontrol" fra Europa-Parlamentets side.
Asked about the suitability of the euro zones "Stability and Growth Pact" and how it could be strengthened, Mr Rehn reiterated that the Pact is the right mechanism to return to stability.

Tuesday's round-up: Almunia, Füle, De Gucht, Jeleva, Reding, Šemeta
Tv-udsendelse om tirsdagens høringer Europa-Parlamentet afholdte tirsdag høringer med seks af de indstillede kommissærer.
The News: Super Tuesday for Commission Hearings - De Gucht, Füle, Jeleva, Reding, Šemeta, and Almunia During the second day of hearings, members of 10 committees "grilled" 6 commissioners-designate.
Det drejede sig om spanske Joaquin Almunia (konkurrence), tjekkiske Štefan Füle (udvidelse og naboskabspolitik), belgiske Karel De Gucht (handel) bulgarske Rumiana Jeleva (humanitær bistand og krisestyring), luxembourgske Viviane Reding (retlige og indre anliggender) og litauiske Algirdas Šemeta (beskatning og toldunion).
During 18 hours of hearings, the nominees fielded hundreds of questions ranging from taxation, trade and competition to fundamental rights, enlargement and humanitarian aid.
Han sagde, at der var behov for øget budgetdisciplin blandt medlemsstaterne, og at han personligt ville gøre en stor indsats for at bekæmpe skattely rundt omkring i verden.
Competition Commissioner designate Spain's Joaquín Almunia held the economic and monetary affairs portfolio in the outgoing Commission.
Almunia betegnede konkurrencepolitik som et "middel", ikke et "mål".
During the hearing he underlined the importance of taking the interests of citizens affected by the crisis into account and the role of competition in the coordinated crisis exit strategy, underlining the importance of the budgetary discipline.
"Vi har en konkurrencepolitik, som er enestående, men den skal håndhæves og den skal forklares".
"We are against tax havens", he said.
Almunia lagde særlig vægt på behovet for at skabe øget konkurrence indenfor den europæiske transportsektor.
MEPs asked what he thought about competition and state aid to the banking and transport sectors as well as other services of general economic interest; fines for anti-competitive practices and fiscal races to the bottom.

Mr Almunia said, "competition policy is only an instrument, not an end in itself...
Han gjorde det klart, at der er en definerbar skillelinje mellem naboskabspolitikken og udvidelsespolitikken.
The former Czech ambassador to NATO and outgoing Minister for European Affairs delivered a diplomatic and balanced presentation on EU enlargement and neighbourhood policy.
Han afviste spekulationer om, at lande som allerede har opnået status som kandidatlande kan nedgraderes til "partnerlande" indenfor rammerne af naboskabspolitikken.
He said there is a distinct dividing line between the two policies and excluded speculation that countries already established as membership candidates might be "downgraded" to partners within the neighbourhood programme.
Adspurgt om sin fortid som medlem af det tjekkoslovakiske kommunistparti i 1980´erne, svarede Füle, at han i dag betragter det som en stor fejl.
Answering questions about his youth, he classified his membership of the Communist party in the 1980s as a mistake and noted that already apologised.
Han understregede, at han ved flere lejligheder har undskyldt for sine aktiviteter i ungdomsårene.
"Everyone has his personal history.

Outgoing Development and Humanitarian Aid Commissioner and former MEP Karel De Gucht of Belgium is set to undertake the trade portfolio.
Karel De Gucht: behov for et stærkere handelssamarbejde Den indstillede kommissær for handel, belgiske Karel De Gucht, blev først og fremmest spurgt om sin holdning til Doha-forhandlingerne, regionale frihandelsaftaler og foranstaltninger til bekæmpelse af kopivarer.
He was questioned about Doha development talks, regional free trade agreements, trade barriers and measures against counterfeiting and dumping.
De Gucht mente, at EU fremover bør gøre mere for at bekæmpe illoyale handelspraksisser og protektionisme.
He said the EU should step up action against unfair trade practices and protectionism.
Han lovede, at han i de kommende år vil gøre en stor indsats for at fremme multilaterale handelssystemer, frihandelsaftaler og regionalt handelssamarbejde.
He promised to focus not only on multilateral trading systems, free-trade agreements and regional links, but also on dismantling non-tariff barriers and concluding a good Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement.
"Vi har brug for endnu mere handelssamarbejde, hvis vi skal bevare vores sociale systemer.
"We need trade and more trade to preserve our social system because it brings growth," he said.

Rumiana Jeleva: "The cornerstone of my policy will be coordination"
Rumiana Jeleva: skarpere sondring mellem humanitære og militære aktioner Bulgarske Rumiana Jeleva får i de næste fem år ansvaret for humanitær bistand og krisestyring.
Bulgarian commissioner-designate for International Cooperation, Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response, Rumiana Jeleva said her priorities would be the defence of International Humanitarian Law, better access to help for people in need, a clearer distinction between humanitarian and military roles and the security of humanitarian aid workers on the ground.
Hun slog også til lyd for en skarpere sondring mellem EU´s humanitære og militære roller og understregede de humanitære hjælpearbejderes uvurderlige betydning.
A considerable part of the hearing was focused on accusations of a possible conflict of interests.
Flere MEP´er spurgte til Jelevas påståede forbindelser til organiseret kriminalitet i Bulgarien.
Ms Jeleva firmly rejected the accusations and denied rumours of giving false information in her declaration of financial interests, after several MEPs raised questions.
Jeg har ikke noget at skjule, forsikrede Jeleva.
I have declared everything I have been obliged to.

Any allegations against my husband or myself are totally, completely unfounded."
Viviane Reding: bedre beskyttelse af personoplysninger
Viviane Reding: "We should never be driven by fear, but by values"
EU´s kommende kommissær for retlige anliggender, grundlæggende rettigheder og unionsborgerskab, Luxembourgs Viviane Reding, indledte sin tale med at fastslå, at EU´s retspolitik de sidste mange år er blevet tilsidesat til fordel for sikkerhedspolitikken.
Luxembourg's Commissioner Viviane Reding is expected to take up Justice, Fundamental Rights and Citizenship in the next Commission.
Hun mente dog, at Lissabontraktaten vil kunne bidrage til at skabe en bedre balance.
She told members of the Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, Legal affairs and Women's Committees that in the last decade, justice has been neglected in favour of security, but the Lisbon Treaty now allows a balance to be struck.

Members of the Budgetary Control, Economic and Monetary Affairs and Internal Market Committees assessed whether Budget Commissioner Algirdas Šemeta of Lithuania has the qualities for the Taxation and Customs Union, Audit and Anti-Fraud portfolio.
MEP´erne spurgte under høringen særlig ind til reformen af OLAF, regler for selskabsskat, momssvindel, kopivarer, skattely og grønne skatter.

"Den krise, som vi i øjeblikket oplever, er den mest alvorlige økonomiske krise siden den store depression.
"The crisis we are currently experiencing is the most serious economic crisis since the Great Depression.
De mest udsatte i samfundet er hårdt ramt.
The most vulnerable have been affected.
Jeg ønsker at undgå yderligere tab af arbejdspladser i EU", sagde den kommende ungarske beskæftigelseskommissær, László Andor, da han onsdag talte til medlemmerne af Parlamentets udvalg om beskæftigelse og sociale anliggender.
I want to avoid further job losses in the EU," László Andor, the Hungarian commissioner-designate for employment and social affairs said.

Mr Barnier used his opening remarks to emphasise his intention of restoring citizens´ faith in the European project by "making sure the essence of the internal market is about those who live it on a daily basis: the citizens, consumers and businesses".
