I forhold til debatten om folkeafstemninger, som nogle MEP'ere havde rejst, var Sócrates meget klar i mælet: "Der er ikke noget sted i verden, hvor man betragter den parlamentariske ratificering som illegitim - og ville være i strid med demokratiet at bestride dette, " sagde han og tilføjede: "Jeg kan godt forstå, at der er fortalere for folkeafstemninger - det direkte demokrati.
THIRD COUNTRIES: Parliament strongly opposes to the fact that third countries in general may be given access to PNR data if adhering to specified conditions by the US government.
Jeg har aldrig gået ind for, at man skal sætte denne form for demokrati overfor det parlamentariske demokrati.
The EU has accepted "not to interfere" concerning the protection of EU citizens' PNR data shared by the US with third countries.
Parlamentet har legitimitet til at ratificere traktater, og det skal der ikke ændres ved."
Finally, MEPs demand the Commission to clarify Commissioner Frattini's statements regarding the possible creation of an EU PNR system to be used in Europe and called national parliaments of Member States to examine the present draft agreement carefully.

Pöttering udtaler sig om de bulgarske sygeplejersker
Excise duty on alcohol: Parliament votes against any increase in minimum rates
Nyheden om, at Højesteret i Libyen har bekræftet dødsdommen mod fem bulgarske sygeplejersker og en palæstinensisk læge fik onsdag Parlamentets formand til at komme med en erklæring inden afstemningen.
MEPs voted against a Commission proposal to raise the EU-wide minimum rates of excise duty on alcoholic drinks other than wine.
"I dag har Højesteret i Libyen bekræftet dødsstraffen over fem bulgarske sygeplejersker og en palæstinensisk læge, som er tilbageholdt siden 1999, anklaget for med vilje at have smittet hundredvis af libyske børn med HIV.
They opposed amendments calling for the minimum rates to rise by 4.5 per cent, then voted against the whole Commission proposal.
Jeg er dybt foruroliget over denne nyhed, som er trist for alle - især deres familier.
The first block of amendments supporting an increase in minimum rates were rejected with 307 votes in favour to 350 against with 23 abstentions.
Jeg har mødt deres familiemedlemmer i april, og jeg vil sende dem al vores solidaritet og støtte i denne svære tid.
The only logical option for both sides (those favouring an increase in the minimum rates and those who wanted to scrap them altogether) was then to reject the proposal as a whole.
Derudover ønsker jeg at sende dem en klar besked - en besked om håb.
This was confirmed in a vote on a legislative resolution, with 46 MEPs voting in favour, 627 against and 13 abstentions.
Dette er ikke enden på proceduren.
As is usual when it comes to taxation matters, Parliament's position is advisory.
Sagen vil nu blive ført videre til Libyens Høje Statsråd.
The final decision is now for the Council, which needs to act unanimously.
Vi tror på, at de libyske myndigheder vil tage de nødvendige skridt og omstøde dødsstraffen og bane vej for en løsning.
This was the second time the plenary had voted on this issue: at the previous vote in May, Parliament sent the matter back to the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee after a series of close votes left an unclear result.

Parlamentets kalender 2008
Future developments in financial services
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog onsdag sin mødekalender for 2008.
MEPs adopted a wide-ranging report on the future of EU financial services policy.
Et forslag om at give mulighed for at afholde særlige ekstra samlinger på et par timer for at diskutere aktuelle politiske emner blev forkastet.
Drawn up by Ieke van den Burg (PES, NL), the own-initiative report is a response to a white paper from the Commission.
Ifølge traktaten skal Parlamentet afholde 12 samlinger i Strasbourg om året.
MEPs would welcome the emergence of European players in credit rating.
Derudover vil der blive afholdt seks kortere samlinger i Bruxelles (fra onsdag eftermiddag til torsdag middag).
They ask for the Commission to take a broader and more critical approach in its analysis of such funds “with regard to the risks of market abuse.”
Som noget nyt for 2008 havde der været forslag om at afsætte otte onsdage til vigtige politiske debatter, men det forslag støttede MEP'erne ikke.
They regret that the Commission has not fulfilled its commitment to have a proper impact assessment with every new proposal, but warn against impact assessments having the effect of bringing law-making to a standstill.

Med sin afstemning onsdag ønsker Parlamentet at udsætte den endelige frist for liberaliseringen med to år i forhold til Kommissionens forslag.
A large majority of MEPs want remaining postal services monopolies in EU Member States to expire by 31 December 2010, two years later than the 1 January 2009 proposed by the European Commission.
Parlamentets betænkning blev vedtaget med 512 stemmer for, 155 imod og 13 undlod.
With 512 votes in favour, 156 against and 18 abstentions, MEPs backed the compromise, proposed by postal services rapporteur Markus Ferber (EPP-ED, DE).
Ordføreren Markus FERBER (PPE-DE, DE) lagde i sin tale under debatten vægt på at monopolerne blev afskaffet.
This means that postal services should be opened up to competition by 2011, but subject to strict conditions.
"Vi har haft monopoler i mere end 200 år.
During the debate on Tuesday 10 July Markus Ferber said: "We've had monopolies for more than 200 years.
Monopoler er ikke i stand til at løse de problemer, som postsektoren står over for.
Monopolies are not capable of solving the problems the postal services are facing.
De problemer kan kun løses, hvis der er en fair konkurrence, som tager hensyn til dem, der arbejder i branchen og arbejdsvilkårene."
Those problems can only be solved if there is a fair competition, that takes into consideration working and workers' conditions".
Nogle MEP'ere havde argumenteret for, at der i nogle lande var brug for mere tid for at sikre et stabilt lovgivningsgrundlag, der kan sikre, at posten stadig kan leveres både nationalt og til de andre EU-lande til rimelige priser, og mere tid til, at postvirksomhederne kan tilpasse sig de nye markedsbetingelser.
It was also decided that for new Member States and those with a particularly difficult topography or with numerous islands as well as Member States with a small population and a limited geographical size, the deadline for the opening up of the market will be two years later, i.e. 31 December 2012, to allow extra time to find ways to maintain a universal service.
Breve skal fortsat blive leveret og indsamlet mindst en gang om dagen, fem dage om ugen for alle EU-borgere, både på fastlandet og på øerne.
This means that also in a liberalised postal sector letters should continue to be delivered and collected at an affordable cost everywhere in the EU.
De virksomheder, som skal sikre befordringspligten, kan også blive støttet af staten.
MEPs say that if market players prove to be unable to provide such services profitably, Member States may set up compensation funds, financed by service providers and/or user fees, to cover universal service costs.
For at undgå konkurrenceforvridning indtil alle markeder er helt åbne for konkurrence, lægger Parlamentet op til, at lande som åbner deres markeder fuldt ud, skal kunne nægte virksomheder, der har monopol i et andet medlemsland, adgang til deres markeder.
To prevent any distortion of competition until markets are opened up to competition, Parliament says that postal service providers from countries with a reserved area must not meanwhile be granted an authorisations to operate in countries such as Sweden, Finland and the UK, where postal markets have been fully opened.
Baggrund Det direktiv, som Parlamentet nu behandler, er sidste etape i en gradvis liberalisering af posttjenesterne, som blev sat i gang allerede i 1992 med Kommissionens præsentation af en grønbog om posttjenester.
However, sometimes politics is about the art of the possible, and I know my good friend Brian Simpson negotiated the best possible deal he could with the rapporteur and the other shadows in the Committee on Transport and Tourism.
I 1997 blev det første postdirektiv vedtaget (97/67/EF), og det er det direktiv, som nu er ved at blive ændret.
We are also happy about the report’s focus on the need to ensure good social and employment standards as liberalisation begins to unfold.
Direktivet fra 1997 (og en senere ændring i 2002) lagde op til en fuld åbning af markederne i 2009.
Brian Simpson (PES, UK, Labour, North West) said: "Postal services are a highly personal and highly political issue.
Den danske regering har støttet Kommissionens forslag om en åbning af markederne i 2009.
That is why it is important and generates a lot of interest.
I Danmark har Post Danmark, som siden 2005 har været delvist privatiseret, haft monopol på håndteringen af breve under 50 gram.
I know in the work we have done in committee we have tried to take on board the views of other committees and political groups.

Parlamentet vil have mere gennemsigtige priser på flyrejser
Towards a future maritime policy
Det skal klart fremgå af flybilletterne og af bestillingsformularerne på Internettet, hvor stor en del af pengene, der går til skatter og afgifter.
After tough negotiations between the responsible Transport Committee and the committees on the Environment, Industry and Research, Fisheries and Regional Affairs, Members were able to vote a report with a rather holistic approach.
Det mener Parlamentet i en betænkning om liberalisering af flytrafikken, som blev vedtaget onsdag.
The environmental dimension, economic importance, tourism, fisheries policy as well as social aspects were consequently key topics in the report.
Med liberaliseringen af flytrafikken er billetternes pris faldet så meget, at skatter og afgifter efterhånden udgør en stadig større del af prisen på en flybillet.
Members firstly asked for a drastic reduction of CO2, SO2 and nitrogen oxide emissions from ships by assessing the feasibility of emissions trading and by promoting renewable energies for shipping.
For at forhindre, at nogle flyselskaber vildleder med priser, hvor skatter og afgifter ikke er talt med, mener Europa-Parlamentet, at passagerer skal have mere gennemsigtighed i forhold til, hvor meget af billetten der går til skatter og afgifter.
They also called for better European shipping with better European ships by stressing that goods transported by ships was one of the least environmentally damaging ways of transport; A European quality label for ships should be introduced.
Betænkningen af Arūnas DEGUTIS (ALDE, LT) behandler Kommissionens forslag om at ændre forordningen fra 1992, som er en del af den tredje pakke om liberalisering af luftfarten.
They also asked for a proposal as to ensure that bunker oil for engine oil for engine fuel in new ships had to be stored in safer, double hull tanks and for a European coast guard to be set up in order to increase cooperation and coordination for the different problems in the maritime sector.
Årsagen er, at der med liberaliseringen af lufttrafikken fulgte en hidtil uset vækst i luftfarten i Europa, som har betydet, at der er behov for justeringer af lovgivningen.
Special attention should be paid to sustainable coastal tourism and a Commissioner for maritime policy should be introduced.
Alle flyselskaber skal derfor give den brede offentlighed detaljeret information om deres priser og om alle skatter og afgifter - også på Internettet.
On 10 October, the Commission will present an ambitious maritime policy package including a European Maritime Policy and Action Plan as is suggested in the Piecyk report.

Arbejdsmarkedslovgivning skal tilpasses det 21. århundrede
MEPs advocate more transparent ticket prices
Hvis arbejdsmarkedslovgivningen skal kunne imødekomme det 21. århundredes udfordringer, skal der fokuseres mere på at sikre beskæftigelse hele livet igennem end på at beskytte særlige job i udsatte sektorer.
In order to avoid misleading advertising and information of passengers the European Parliament adopted a legislative report saying that all air fares published in any form and addressed to the public must include all taxes, fees and charges added to the ticket price and known at the time of publication of the airfare.
Det mener Parlamentet i en initiativ-betænkning, som blev vedtaget onsdag med stemmerne 479 for, 61 imod og 64 der undlod.
Air passengers must be treated like other consumers and thus have a right on clear and full information of the price they finally have to pay, the EP argues.
Betænkningen, som er udarbejdet af Jacek PROTASIEWIECZ (PPE-DE, PL), bidrager til den aktuelle debat om flexicurity i EU.
The report by Arūnas Degutis (ALDE, LT) deals with the Commission proposal on the revision the 1992 "third liberalisation package" of the internal aviation market that aims to increase market efficiency, to enhance the safety of air services and to improve passenger protection.
I betænkningen opfordrer MEP'erne til mere aktive arbejdsmarkedspolitikker, som skal gøre det lettere at finde et nyt job og lettere at skifte fra et job til et andet.
The regulation lays down rules for, inter alia, operating licences, leasing of aircraft, public service obligations, traffic distribution rule and price transparency.
Kontakter med ubegrænset varighed skal være normen Betænkningen slår fast, at EU's arbejdsmarkedslovgivning skal anerkende ansættelseskontrakter med ubegrænset varighed som den almindelige form for ansættelse.
Especially internet booking has to be considered, as they are often the only possibility of booking with low-cost carriers.
Andre former for kontrakter, der afviger fra standarden, som f.eks. tidsbegrænsede ansættelser, midlertidige kontrakter gennem vikarbureauer, faste freelance-kontrakter og projektbaserede kontrakter skal gå hånd i hånd med støtte til arbejdstagerne, der er i gang med at skifte fra et job til et andet.
Air carriers therefore will have to provide the general public with comprehensive information "in any form, including on the Internet", on their air fares.
For eksempel mener Parlamentet, at man for at sikre, at disse overgange mellem job bliver hurtige og bæredygtige, skal tilbyde indkomststøtte i den periode, hvis det f.eks. er nødvendigt for den pågældende at videreuddanne sig eller gå igennem en omskoling.
Those air fares which are "addressed directly or indirectly to the travelling public" have to include all applicable taxes, non-avoidable charges, surcharges and fees known at the time of publication (i.e. taxes, or duties, fees and other costs for the benefit of the airlines or of the airport operators.)
Lettere at ansætte nye medarbejdere Desuden understreger Parlamentet behovet for at forenkle de administrative procedurer for virksomheder, især for nystartede virksomheder og små og mellemstore virksomheder.
Where airport or on-board security costs are included in the price of an air ticket, those costs shall therefore be shown separately on the ticket or otherwise indicated to the passenger.
Udvalget mener, at "overdrevne administrative byrder" kan være med til at afholde arbejdsgiverne fra at ansætte nye medarbejdere - selv i perioder med økonomisk vækst.
Security taxes and charges, whether levied by Member States or by air carriers or entities, shall be transparent and shall be used exclusively to meet airport or onboard aircraft security costs.
Da der er stor forskel på, hvordan arbejdsmarkederne er skruet sammen i de forskellige lande, opfordredes Kommissionen til at tage hensyn til de store forskelle.
On 23 July 1992 the final stage in the liberalisation of air transport in the Community was reached with the adoption of the three Regulations, known as the "third package".
I Danmark er det i modsætning til i de fleste andre lande ikke love, der regulerer arbejdsmarkedet, men overenskomsterne mellem arbejdsmarkedets parter.
This followed up the "first package", adopted in December 1987, and the "second package" of June 1990.
MEP'erne understreger, hvor vigtigt det er, trods disse forskelligheder, at nå frem til en grad af konsekvens inden for arbejdsmarkedslovgivningen, som vil kunne sikres gennem direktiver, kollektive aftaler og gennem den åbne koordineringsmetode.
More than ten years after the entry into force the third package has largely played its role, allowing the unprecedented expansion of air transport in Europe.
Endelig bliver medlemslandene opfordret til at fjerne deres restriktioner på adgangen til arbejdsmarkederne for arbejdstagere fra andre EU-lande for at forbedre mobiliteten for arbejdstagerne i Europa.
Old monopolies have been swept away, intra-Community cabotage has been introduced, and competition in all markets has intensified to the benefit of consumers.
Fra Debatten Ole CHRISTENSEN var socialdemokraternes ordfører på sagen og havde derfor ordet, da betænkningen blev debatteret i salen mandag: "Hvis EU skal tackle det 21. århundredes udfordringer og skabe bæredygtig vækst med flere og bedre jobs, skal vi have forbedret kvaliteten af såvel arbejdet som kvaliteten i jobbene.
Jim Higgins (EPP-ED, Fine Gael, IE) said during the debate in Strasbourg on Tuesday 10 July: "The opening-up of air travel to millions of citizens has been brought about by the low-fares airlines.
Her har arbejdsretten en afgørende rolle at spille.
I agree with the Commissioner that the single aviation market has been a singular success.
I den øgede globalisering og konkurrence vil vi tabe, hvis vi konkurrerer på dårlige arbejdsforhold og dårlige lønninger", sagde Ole Christensen.
Airlines such as Ireland’s Ryanair have revolutionised the aviation sector and have put pressure on the older, more established and more expensive airlines to follow suit.
Det skal fremtidens arbejdsret afspejle.
Consumers will thus be informed of the actual price (price of ticket plus the various charges and taxes).’
Fleksibilitet er kort sagt at opbygge et godt samarbejde og have gensidig tillid til hinanden på virksomhederne.
The Degutis report, which we are debating here tonight, will give practical effect to this, and that is extremely welcome.

Beskyttelse af udstationerede arbejdere
More measures needed on access to medicines says EP resolution
Udstationeringsdirektivet, der blandt andet skal sikre, at udstationerede arbejdere arbejder under vilkår eller til løn, der svarer til de lokalt ansatte, er ikke godt nok implementeret i alle medlemslande.
According to the resolution adopted by Parliament on 12 July, more needs to be done to allow developing countries and Least Developed Countries (LDCs) access to medicines.
MEP'erne beder Kommissionen om at respektere, at nogle medlemsstater kræver, at de udstationerede arbejdere har en repræsentant i deres land.
The EP asks the Council to support the developing countries which use the flexibilities enshrined in the TRIPS Agreement.
Parlamentet beder alligevel Kommissionen om at acceptere denne praksis, fordi tilstedeværelsen af en retlig repræsentant vil gøre det muligt for medlemsstaterne at implementere og kontrollere udstationeringsdirektivet ordentligt.
The Commission and the Member States should provide financial support for local production of pharmaceuticals in developing countries.
Den gældende retspraksis anerkender værtsmedlemslandenes ret til at kræve bestemte dokumenter for at kontrollere, om ansættelsesvilkårene i udstationeringsdirektivet overholdes.
On Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs), MEPS want to restrict the mandate of the Commission "in order not to negotiate pharmaceutical-related TRIPS-plus" affecting public health and access to medicines.
Det er frygten for, at medarbejdere udstationeret i et andet medlemsland arbejder under ringere sociale vilkår end de normale i værtslandet og på den måde skaber en trussel mod den sociale tryghed.
The House also asks the Commission to grant funding for R&D on poverty-related, tropical and neglected diseases.
At der er fri mulighed for at levere service på tværs af grænser, og at det sker under overholdelse af arbejdsmarkedsbeskyttelsen i værtslandet, "sagde hun.
The resolution calls on the Council to adopt a Joint Policy Statement with the European Parliament to the effect that EU Member States remain free to use all exception provisions of the TRIPS Agreement under their domestic patent laws to authorise production and export ‘to address public health needs in importing Members’ and asks the Council to mandate the Commission to refrain from taking action to interfere with these proceedings.

Evaluering af transportpolitikken
EP calls for a "fully liberalised European energy market as soon as possible"
Parlamentet vedtog torsdag en egen-initiativbetænkning af Etelka BARSY-PARTAKI (PPE-DE, HU) om midtvejsevalueringen af Kommissionens hvidbog fra 2001 "Den Europæiske transportpolitik frem til 2010".
The internal energy market should allow "consumer choice of supplier in an open competitive environment", and also be able to guarantee security of supply given that "it is essential for every citizen of the [EU] to have affordable access to energy", according to a report by the European Parliament.
MEP'erne lægger vægt på, at en hurtig gennemførelse af det transeuropæiske transportnet, TEN-T-netværket, er den bedste måde at opnå sammenhæng mellem de forskellige transportformer, men Anne E. JENSEN (ALDE, DK) er bange for, at det ikke er afsat nok penge.
The own-initiative report, by Alejo VIDAL-QUADRAS (EPP-ED, ES) focuses specifically on the gas and electricity markets, and says that in order to facilitate the liberalisation of these markets it is crucial to "promote investments in infrastructures in a non-discriminatory way" and allow "fair access to the grid for new entrants and transparency in the market."
En stor del af den europæiske transportpolitik handler om at skabe sammenhæng mellem de forskellige transportformer i Europa, så trafikken af mennesker og varer kan glide.
During the debate, Mr Vidal-Quadras said: "We agree with the need to phase out regulated tariffs in a gradual manner.
Parlamentet fremhæver i sin betænkning, at det er vigtigt effektivt at udnytte de transportformer, der kan kombineres, og man i kombinationen af de forskellige transportformer opfylder målsætningen om at begrænse transportens indvirkning på miljøet.
In some Member States, the current system of regulation is an obstacle to the internal market, in particular regarding trade and interconnections.
Anne E. Jensen (V) talte på vegne af sin gruppe, ALDE, under debatten i salen.
Regulation of the energy markets
