"Jeg tror, det er det rigtige tidspunkt at tage diskussionen," sagde han med henvisning til den netop underskrevne Berlin-erklæring.
German conservative MEP Doris Pack said very clearly, that "the Ahtisaari plan is the only available basis for a peaceful co-existence of ethnic Serbs and Albanians".
Han understregede, at en fælles udenrigspolitik og en større rolle på verdensplan nogle af de vigtigste udfordringer, som EU står over for lige nu.
In order to create a functioning multi-ethnic society, Europe will have to take upon itself a leading role in Kosovo´s future.
Han sagde, at han møder stor efterspørgsel på en fælles udenrigspolitik, både når han rejser rundt i verden og men også når han ser på, hvad de europæiske borgere ønsker.
This will include an extensive military and civilian presence of the EU, estimated at 1500-2000 international staff.
I sin tale kom Solana ind på flere forskellige aktuelle emner.
Parliament will vote on the report on Thursday.
Han talte blandt andet om Mellemøsten, Iran, Balkan, Afrika og Østeuropa.
Commissioner Rehn has expressed his conviction, that an adoption of the report will further reinforce European unity.
Parlamentet lægger i betænkningen særligt vægt på den del, der vedrører Parlamentet selv, herunder effektiv service til medlemmerne af Parlamentet, effektive kommunikationsværktøjer til Parlamentet, personale, sikkerhed.
The heads of all the political groups supported a political solution to the crisis although some, notably Graham Watson for the Liberal ALDE Group and Daniel Cohn-Bendit for the Greens/EFA, strongly advocated moves towards general nuclear disarmament.

EP-Briefing, Bruxelles, den 28.-29. marts 2007
Plenary 28-29 March: What's on?
Søndag den 25. marts er det 50 år siden Rom-traktaten blev underskrevet.
The Berlin signatories and MEPs debate its significance on Wednesday
Det bliver fejret overalt i Europa.
When MEPs meet in Brussels they will discuss the recent Berlin Declaration, reform of the EU's budget, safety at sea, the future of Kosovo, organic food and EU foreign policy.
I Berlin har den tyske forbundskansler, og nuværende EU-formand, Angela Merkel inviteret til fødselsdagsceremoni, hvor målet er at underskrive en højtidelig erklæring på vegne af hele EU.
Prior to the debate on the Berlin Declaration German Chancellor Angela Merkel will present her views (as current President of the Council) on its contents.
Uafhængighed og suverænitet bliver de helt centrale ord, når Parlamentet torsdag skal stemme om en betænkning, der forholder sig til Kosovos fremtid.
Berlin to Brussels: The three Presidents who signed the Berlin Declaration - for the Parliament Hans-Gert Pöttering, for the Commission José Manuel Barroso and Angela Merkel as current President of the Council - will be reunited on Wednesday.
Udenrigsudvalget valgte at gå uden om ordene sin betænkning.
They will be in Parliament to take part in a debate on the Summit and the contents of the Berlin Declaration.
Spørgsmålet er, om det holder i plenaren.
Entitled "The Future of the EU's own resources" it considers ways that reform of the system of own resources in the budget could be improved to provide fairer distribution between countries.
Udvikling af de økologiske landbrug uden at miste forbrugernes tillid Det økologiske landbrug skal styrkes, men det må ikke svække forbrugernes tillid til de økologiske produkter.
Safety at sea: Prompted by the sinking of the "Erika" off Brittany in 1999 and the "Prestige" off Spain in 2002, maritime legislation is being passed by the EU to improve safety at sea.
Landbrugsudvalget ønsker strengere regler for brug af plantebeskyttelsesmidler og stærkere garanti mod forurening med GMO i en betænkning om økologisk produktion og mærkning af økologiske produkter, som Parlamentet skal stemme om torsdag.
Two reports considered on Friday - one on the duties of "flag states" (where the ship is registered) and another on the civil liability of ship-owners are 2 of 7 such reports.
Hvordan skal EU få sine penge?
The others will be debated by MEPs in April.
I forbindelse med, at EU-Kommissionen senere på året vil komme med forslag til reform af EU’s budgetter, fremlægger Budgetudvalget sine forslag til en reform af den måde, EU får sine indtægter på.
Future of Kosovo - report on UN plan: MEPs will discuss a report by the Foreign Affairs Committee on the plan by UN special envoy Martti Ahtisaari for the future of Kosovo.
Udvalget lægger vægt på, at der skal være mere lighed i den måde medlemsstaterne betaler til EU.
Mr Ahtisaari has made it clear he wants the EU to play a full role in the final status of Kosovo.
Der skal på sigt gøres mere for, at EU kan få sine egne indtægter, selvom en egentlig EU-skat ikke kommer på tale.
This report emphasises the future "European perspective" of both Kosovo and Serbia.
Perspektiverne for EU's fælles udenrigspolitik 2007 Hvad skal der ske på den europæiske udenrigspolitiske scene i 2007?
EU foreign policy in 2007: The EU's foreign policy falls under the spotlight on Thursday as the Union's High Representative for foreign affairs Javier Solana will address the house.

Wednesday in Plenary: Zimbabwe, Berlin Declaration, Kosovo
Hun mente ikke, at EU kan lukke øjnene for det, der sker internationalt og roste Pöttering for hans erklæring om Zimbabwe ved mødets start.
Energy and climate change were also key areas according to Mrs Merkel - "it is important to strengthen the role of EU in this area" she told MEPs.

EU bør få sine egne indtægter med henblik på at forenkle budgettet, siger en betænkning
EU should adopt own resources to simplify budget says report
MEP Alain Lamassoure ønsker et enklere budget
MEP Alain Lamassoure wants the budget simplified
For en udenforstående synes skænderier om EU-budgettet at være et fast element ved EU’s topmøder.
To a casual observer, wrangling over the EU budget seems to be a regular fixture on the EU summit circle.
I 2005 enedes regeringscheferne for alle 27 EU-lande om en budgetmæssig ramme frem til 2013.
In late 2005 the heads of all 27 EU countries agreed on a budget that would take the Union to 2013.
Et vigtigt element heri var imidlertid beslutningen om en gennemgang i 2008/2009, som skulle kigge nærmere på den fælles landbrugspolitik og på den "britiske rabat".
An important caveat however, was the decision to have a review in 2008/09 that would look at the Common Agriculture Policy and the British rebate.
I en betænkning, som blev vedtaget 29. marts, efterlyser MEP’er et enklere budget og stop for "særlige arrangementer" for visse stater.
In a report passed on 29 March MEPs called for a simplified budget and an end to "special arrangements" for some states.
Betænkningen peger også på skænderierne over budgettet som noget, der skaber dårlig stemning mellem medlemsstaterne.
It also points to the arguments over the budget which creates bad feeling between states.
Den mest berømte episode var på 1984-topmødet i Fontainebleau, hvor Margaret Thatcher fik indført den britiske rabat med kravet om ”at få vores egne penge igen”.
The most famous episode was at the 1984 summit in Fontainebleau when Mrs Thatcher won the British rebate with the cry of "I want my money back".
I 2005 vedtog Det Europæiske Råd en håndfuld særlige foranstaltninger, som i visse sager gav særbehandling til nettoydere som England, Tyskland, Holland og Sverige frem for nettomodtagere som Polen, Slovakiet og Rumænien.
In 2005 the European Council agreed a raft of special measures that gave differing treatment on different issues to net contributors to the budget such as the UK, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden and those who receive money such as Poland, the Czech Republic and Romania.
Lamassoure: Forøg EU’s ”egne indtægter” og nedsæt de nationale bidrag
Lamassoure: expand "own resources", reduce national contributions
Den voksende kompleksitet af budgettet afspejler det voksende medlemstal i EU og den forskellige levestandard på tværs af Europa.
The growing complexity of the budget reflects the growing numbers of EU members and the different standards of living across the Union.
Lamassoure ønsker større enkelthed samt en to-trins reformproces, som skal fjerne alle rabatter og særordninger.
Alain Lamassoure wants greater simplicity and would like to a two-step reform process that would abolish all rebates and derogations.
Han foreslår:
He proposes to:
Hvert land skal bidrage med ca. 1% af BNI.
Each country would be asked to contribute approximately 1% of this.
Den britiske rabat skal afskaffes i 2013.
Under this step Mr Lamassoure envisages the UK rebate being abolished by 2013.
Og hvor skal pengene så komme fra?
Where would the money come from?
Her omfatter forslagene: en fast andel af landenes moms, en andel af virksomhedsskatten og skatterne på energi.
Suggestions include: a fixed share of the national VAT rate, a share of corporation tax and taxes on energy consumption.
Andre muligheder er en skat på transport- og teleydelser samt overskuddet fra Den Europæiske Centralbank.
Other options include taxes on financial transactions ("Tobin" tax), taxes on transport and telecommunications services and the profits of the European Central Bank.
MEP’erne gav ikke udtryk for, hvilke af mulighederne, der var at foretrække, men erkendte dog, at beskatning fortsat var et internt anliggende i hvert enkelt land.
MEPs expressed no option as to which of the above would be preferable although they admit that taxation would remain a matter for individual countries alone.
EU’s ”egne indtægter” er oprindeligt opstået ved told og landbrugsafgifter.
A phrase oft repeated in the report is "own resources".
Da det daværende fællesskab voksede i medlemstal og styrke, blev disse midler utilstrækkelige og i 1970 indførte man momsbidraget.
Originally from the foundation of the EU these were customs and agricultural levies made on the trade on agricultural products.
Det blev i 1988 efterfulgt af direkte bidrag fra medlemsstaternes nationale budgetter.
As the then Community grew in members and powers, these proved inadequate and in 1970 VAT contributions from members were introduced and in 1988 a contribution from the budgets of members was introduced.
Sidstnævnte udgjorde 70% af 2005-budgettet.
The latter formed 70% of the budget by 2005.
Lamassoure ser gerne en tilbagevenden til finansiering ved ”egne indtægter” eftersom dette ”system vil svare til ånden og bogstavet i de stiftende traktater”.
Mr Lamassoure would like to see a return to funding through "own resources" as this "system would correspond to the letter and spirit of the founding treaties".
Trangen til større enkelthed blev støttet af den tyske socialist Jutta Hung, som sagde: ”Vi ønsker mere retfærdig hed og lighed - væk med alle undtagelserne, og så ønsker vi større gennemsigtighed omkring budgettets indtægter”.
The desire for greater simplicity was echoed by German PES member Jutta Hung who said that "we want more justice and equity, doing away with all exceptions, and we want greater trans­parency on the revenue side of the budget".
En europæisk skat?
A European Tax?
Der var blandede reaktioner på, hvorvidt EU skal tage skridtet i retning af en egentlig ”EU-skat”.
On whether the EU should take the next step and develop its own "EU Tax" there was mixed response among MEPs.
Imidlertid advarede Kuźmiuk Zbigniew Krzysztof (Union for Nationernes Europa) mod indførelse af en EU-skat, selvom han indrømmede, at det nuværende system er uretfærdigt.
However, Polish MEP Zbigniew Kuźmiuk (Union for Europe of the Nations), while agreeing that the current system is unfair, warned against the introduction of an EU tax and said that it would increase the tax burden of the citizens.

Thursday in Plenary: EU foreign policy, own resources
"Jeg tror, det er det rigtige tidspunkt at tage diskussionen," sagde han med henvisning til den netop underskrevne Berlin-erklæring.
Socialist leader Martin Schulz noted that the EU is built on dialogue and it was important to talk to the new Palestinian government.
Han understregede, at en fælles udenrigspolitik og en større rolle på verdensplan nogle af de vigtigste udfordringer, som EU står over for lige nu.
The heads of all the political groups supported a political solution to the crisis although some, notably Graham Watson for the Liberal ALDE Group and Daniel Cohn-Bendit for the Greens/EFA, strongly advocated moves towards general nuclear disarmament.
I sin tale kom Solana ind på flere forskellige aktuelle emner.
He said Darfur must remain the EU's "number one concern" in Africa.
Han talte blandt andet om Mellemøsten, Iran, Balkan, Afrika og Østeuropa.
For the European people's party Joseph Daul called the situation in Darfur "genocide" and developments in Zimbabwe "an affront ".
Budget for 2008: Bedre kommunikation og mere tillid til EU's institutioner
Missile defence: (the Czech Republic and Poland have agreed to let the US station missile systems on their territory).
Institutionernes budget for 2008 skal i princippet ligge tæt på det nuværende, mener Budgetudvalget.
Martin Schulz for the Socialist PES Group warned of a "new arms race" of missile defence systems are developed in Europe.
I en betænkning med Ville ITÄLÄ (PPE-DE, FI), som ordfører ønsker Parlamentet at komme med nogle retningslinjer for budgettet 2008.
Konrad Szymanski for the Europe of the Nations Group warned against taking the "Russian view" - one that "could divide the EU".
Parlamentet lægger i betænkningen særligt vægt på den del, der vedrører Parlamentet selv, herunder effektiv service til medlemmerne af Parlamentet, effektive kommunikationsværktøjer til Parlamentet, personale, sikkerhed.
Own resources were created in 1970 and consist of agricultural duties and sugar production levies (approximately 1.5% of the EU budget) and customs duties collected at the EU's external borders (roughly 11% of the Union's budget).

Det kommer ikke længere an på størrelsen i EU
Size no longer matters in the EU
Fælles standarder for emballering
All change on packet sizes?
Den frie bevægelighed af varer er et EU-princip og nøglen til unionens økonomiske succes.
The free movement of goods is an EU principle and key to its economic success.
En halv mia. borgere kan vælge frit mellem det brede udvalg af forbrugsvarer fra 27 lande.
Half a billion citizens can choose from a vast range of shopping products from 27 states.
Fælles standarder – også for emballering – har været afgørende for at nå hertil.
Standardisation, including packaging, has been vital in making this happen.
Men er tiden i virkeligheden kommet for at vende udviklingen, nu hvor det indre marked er kommet sikkert i havn?
But with the single market securely in place, has the time come to reverse the process?
Udvalg er godt, men risikerer de ’små’ at forsvinde i dette ”supermarked”?
More choice is great, but might the more vulnerable be "lost in the supermarket"?
Dette spørgsmål står Parlamentet nu overfor.
This is the question now confronting the Parliament.
Europa-Kommissionen ønsker friere regler for pakkestørrelser på fødevarer.
The European Commission wants to liberalise food packaging sizes.
Mange love på dette område er over 30 år gamle, og med senere tilføjelser bliver de forvirrende og vanskelige at efterleve.
Many food packaging laws are over 30 years old and accumulated amendments make them confusing and hard to apply.
I 60’erne var det en stor hindring for varernes fri bevægelighed mellem medlemsstaterne, at der var forskellige nationale regler for størrelsen af pakker og flasker.
In the 1960s different national rules on the volume of packets and bottles were a major barrier to the free movement of goods between the Member States.
Harmonisering hjalp med at fjerne denne hindring.
Harmonisation helped sweep those barriers aside.
I 2000 bestemte EF-domstolen imidlertid, at EU-lande ikke kunne afvise produkter fra andre EU-medlemmer på grund af andre pakkestørrelser, og dermed var lovgivningen overflødig.
But, in 2000 the European Court of Justice ruled that EU countries could not refuse products from other member states because they used different pack sizes, making the law unnecessary.
Hvad ønsker forbrugerne?
What does the customer want?
E n Eurobarometer-meningsmåling i oktober 2001 spurgte til forbrugernes oplevelse af butikkernes udvalg af produkter i forskellig emballage.
A Eurobarometer survey in October 2001 asked consumers about their experience with packaged and bottled products sold in shops and supermarkets.
De fleste var tilhængere af standardstørrelser, men de ønskede også et stort udvalg.
Most welcomed standard sizes, but also wanted more choice.
Oven på dette har Kommissionen i 2004 foreslået en næsten total fjernelse af reglerne om pakkestørrelser.
In response, the Commission proposed in 2004 a near total deregulation of package sizes.
EU-standarder skal skrottes til fordel for markedsmekanismerne.
EU standards would be scrapped in favour of market mechanisms.
Kun vin, spiritus, pulverkaffe og hvidt sukker skal bevare deres standardstørrelser.
Only wine, spirits, instant coffee and white sugar would retain their standard sizes.
Parlamentet støtter i store træk Kommissionens forslag, men ønsker en bedre beskyttelse af forbrugerne og af de små og mellemstore virksomheder.
Parliament supports the Commission's proposal in general, but wants better protection for consumers and small and medium enterprises.
Man mener, at handikappede og ældre kan blive forvirrede over, om en vare er pengene værd.
It is concerned that disabled and elderly customers could be confused about whether they are getting value for money.
Mange af forbrugerne i denne gruppe benytter lokale handlende, som ofte undlader at angive enhedspriser – noget supermarkederne er forpligtet til.
Many of the people in these demographic groups tend to use local shops, which often don't indicate unit prices, something supermarkets are obliged to do.
Dertil kommer, at Parlamentet er bekymret for, om der vil påløbe omkostninger for mindre virksomheder, der pludselig står med umoderne udstyr beregnet på bestemte pakkestørrelser.
In addition, Parliament is concerned that there may be costs for smaller firms, who may find that existing machinery catering to specific packet sizes becomes obsolete.
Parlamentet foreslår derfor, at listen over produkter, som er omfattet af loven, udvides til også at dække malet kaffe, smør, salt, ris, pasta og mælk.
It suggests that the list of regulated products should be extended to include ground coffee, butter, salt, rice, pasta and milk.
Ministerrådet foretrækker en gradvis udfasning over fem år af de regler, der gælder produkterne foreslået af EP og over 6 år for hvidt sukker.
Ministers would prefer to see a gradual phasing out of packaging norms over five years for the products proposed by the EP and over six years for white sugar.
I enighed med EP’s hårde linje for at beskytte forbrugere og mindre virksomheder, foreslår Rådet desuden:
Following the EP's strong line on protection for consumers and small companies, the Council also proposes:
regelmæssig opfølgning på, hvordan den ny lovgivning påvirker producenter og forbrugere
a regular check on how the new law affects producers and consumers
tydeligere mærkning for at hjælpe forbrugerne til bedre at kunne vurdere prisen
more visible product labels to help customers estimate value for money
Bolden er igen spillet over til Parlamentet.
The ball is now back in Parliament's court.
Det virker sandsynligt, at EP vil godkende lovgivningen i maj, forudsat at der er enighed om, at den kan ændres, hvis det viser sig, at den har negativ effekt for forbrugerne eller producenterne.
It looks likely that the EP will approve the legislation in May, provided that there is agreement that it can be revised if it is found that the law has had a negative impact on customers or producers.

Festligheder i Berlin for at markere 50-året for Rom-traktaten
Celebrations in Berlin to mark 50 years since the Treaty of Rome
EU’s ledere har i denne weekend på et møde i Berlin udsendt en erklæring for at markere 50-året for Rom-traktaten.
Meeting in Berlin over the weekend, EU leaders adopted a Declaration to mark 50 years of the Rome Treaty.
Den opregner, hvad unionen har opnået, hvad den arbejder for og hvilke udfordringer der ligger forude.
It spells out what the Union has achieved, what it is for and the challenges ahead.
Erklæringen bekræfter, at ”EU bygger på ligeberrettigelse og gensidigt understøttende samarbejde” og at den ”unaturlige deling"af Europa "hører fortiden til”.
The Declaration reaffirms that "the European Union is founded on equal rights and mutually supportive cooperation" and that "the unnatural division of Europe is now consigned to the past".
Berlin var et passende sted at fremsætte erklæringen.
Berlin was an apt place for the Declaration.
Udover at byen er hovedstad i Tyskland, som i øjeblikket har formandskabet for EU, symboliserer den nedrevne Berlinmur den deling, som Europa har overvundet.
In addition to being the capital of Germany, the current holder of the EU Presidency, the dismantled Berlin Wall symbolises the divisions that Europe has overcome.
Erklæringen blev underskrevet af de ”3 præsidenter”: Parlamentsformand Hans-Gert Pöttering, Kommissionens formand José Manuel Barroso og formanden for Ministerrådet, den tyske kansler Angela Merkel.
The Declaration was signed by the "3 Presidents": - for the Parliament Hans-Gert Pöttering, for the Commission José Manuel Barroso and the President of the Council, German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
”Store udfordringer, der ikke standser ved landegrænserne”
"Major challenges which do not stop at national borders"
