MEP'erne henviser til Den Europæiske Centralbanks bekymring over inflationen, og beder Slovakiet om at oprette et observationsorgan, der skal holde øje med prisudviklingen på dagligvarer.
MEPs note that the European Central Bank has identified risks concerning the sustainability of the low inflation rate achieved by Slovakia, and urges further fiscal consolidation, with a balanced budget in the medium-term, and for the social partners to keep wage growth in line with productivity growth in order to maintain a low inflation environment.
MEP'erne mener desuden, at den slovakiske regering og centralbank skal tage initiativer til at sikre en lav inflation og fortsætte reformerne af økonomien.
They also call for the structural reforms to the labour, services and product markets to continue and say the government of Slovakia should ensure competition, notably in sensitive sectors such as energy.
Slovakiet bliver det 16. land, der kommer med i euroen.

Next steps
Hanne DAHL (IND/DEM, DK) ønskede at mane til besindighed i forhold til euroen - særligt i forhold til den finansielle krise, som vil blive euroens 'første eksamen.'
The European Council is expected to take a political decision on Slovakia's euro membership at its 19-20 June summit, with the formal legislation being put to the vote at the following meeting of EU finance ministers.
"Hvis jeg var Slovakiet, ville jeg vente med at tilslutte mig euroen indtil jeg har set, om euroen vil klare sin første eksamen i økonomisk krise," sagde Hanne Dahl.
Parliament's role in decisions on euro area enlargement is consultative.
Mere affald skal genbruges fra 2020 De over 500 kilo affald, som hver europæer producerer om året, skal reduceres, og langt mere affald skal genbruges.
MEPs give green light for new EU waste legislation with binding 2020 targets The EU will have new waste legislation which includes targets for re-use and recycling of waste to be attained by 2020 after MEPs adopted amendments.
Forebyggelse af affald
Waste prevention is reinforced - targets to be considered in the future
Udover at sætte mål for, hvor meget affald, der skal genbruges, er medlemslandene senest 5 år efter det nye direktiv træder i kraft forpligtet til at komme med planer for behandling og forebyggelse af affald, og senest i 2014 skal EU-Kommissionen komme med målsætninger for forebyggelsen af affald og nedbringelse af mængderne.
The new directive will oblige Member States to establish waste management plans and waste prevention programmes with waste prevention objectives 5 years after entry into force of the directive.

Member States shall treat it "as a priority order", in waste prevention and management legislation rather than as a "guiding principle" as proposed by Council.
og Rådets direktiv om affald og ophævelse af visse direktiver
The directive includes furthermore a definition on by-products and of the "end-of-waste" status.
Fra 2018 vil medlemslandene skulle reducere forureningen fra en række stoffer og helt stoppe udledningen af en række farlige stoffer.
By 2018 Member States will have to reduce pollution from "priority substances", and ceasing or phasing out emissions, discharges and losses of "priority hazardous substances".
Margrete AUKEN (Verts /ALE) talte under debatten. hun understregede, at det overordnede sigte med reglerne er gradvist at få forbedret vandkvaliteten i de europæiske vandløb og søer.
In its first-reading, Parliament had wanted to phase out a wider range of substances, but the Council has only been willing to take on board the list of 33.
Den irske folkeafstemning til debat forud for topmøde
MEPs debate the forthcoming European Council after the No vote in Ireland
Europa-Parlamentet debatterede onsdag formiddag resultatet af den irske folkeafstemning.
All groups in the House accepted and respected the outcome of the vote in Ireland.
Med få undtagelser gik de politiske grupper ind for, at ratifikationsprocessen skal fortsætte i de lande, som endnu ikke har ratificeret.
Many groups underlined the need to continue the ratification processes and to respect those Member States that had already ratified the Lisbon Treaty.
Et skuffet formandskab
He said the Slovenian presidency was "disappointed" at the result of the referendum but that it "respects" the will of the Irish electorate.
Janez LENARČIČ, Sloveniens statssekretær, talte på vegne af formandskabet.
However, Slovenia had spoken to several heads of state or government, who were determined to proceed with ratification in their countries.
Han sagde, at den slovenske premierminister, Janez Jansa var skuffet over resultatet af den irske folkeafstemning, men at han respekterede det irske folks vilje.
Overall, he believed a solution could be found but the European Council would first listen to the views of the Irish prime minister.
Lenarčič fandt det opmuntrende, at de lande som ikke allerede havde ratificeret, har givet udtryk for, at de vil fortætte ratificeringen.
Turning to other issues to be discussed at the summit, Mr Lenarčič highlighted soaring food and oil prices and listed short and medium term steps that could be taken to mitigate the problems.
Formandskabet ville arbejde for at få fastlagt en tidsplan på det kommende topmøde for, hvordan man kan komme videre.
He too saw the vote as "a disappointment" to all those in favour of a stronger, more efficient and accountable European Union and stressed that "the No vote did not solve the problems which the Treaty seeks to tackle".
Janez Lenarčič sagde, at det var vigtigt, at EU kommer i gang med at løse de reelle problemer, som EU står over for lige nu.
Thus, while fully respecting the outcome of the Irish referendum he was keen to emphasise that "We must show the same respect for all national ratifications".
Verden venter ikke på Europa
In the end, it only serves to make life easy for the euro-sceptics.
EU-Kommissionens formand, José Manuel BARROSO, erkendte i sin tale, at det er en tung dagsorden, der venter EU's stats- og regeringsledere på topmødet.
As I said before, you cannot bash Brussels from Monday to Saturday and expect citizens to vote in favour of Europe on Sunday".
"Vi skal respektere det irske nej, men vi skal også respektere alle de lande, der har ratificeret, Der er 18 for og 1 imod," sagde Barroso.
More broadly, "the pressures being faced by Europeans today show why the EU's goals on energy security, energy efficiency and climate change are so crucial".
Han understregede, at medlemslandene skulle ses som ligeværdige, og at det ville tage tid og kræfter at komme videre.
Ultimately, "the structural response to the structural challenges we face is to save and diversify".
"Vi kan ikke jage frem og finde en hurtig aftale, men det må heller ikke tage for lang tid," sagde Barroso.
Against this background, "adoption of our climate change and energy security package is therefore a matter or urgency".
Stop navlepilleriet og respekter de 18 lande, der har ratificeret
Joseph DAUL (EPP-ED, FR)said that his group respected the decision of the Irish people just as much as the 18 Member States that had ratified the Treaty of Lisbon.
"Vi respekterer det irske nej, men vi respekterer også de 18 lande, der har sagt ja," sagde Joseph DAUL (PPE-DE, FR), som ønskede en rolig, ansvarlig og konstruktiv analyse af situationen.
He recalled that the EU is founded on freedom of expression and democracy and that as a result no Member State could prevent another from expressing itself.
"Folkeafstemningen viser, at mange ikke ved, hvad EU betyder.
The European Parliament, which often adopted complicated texts, must take its responsibility.
Målet om at skabe fred og stabilitet, som har været vigtig for min egen generation, er ikke længere noget, som den unge generation tænker på," sagde Daul.
Mr Daul called on the European Council to take on board the concerns of citizens on food and oil prices.
"Vi skal stoppe navlepilleriet og tage fat på de virkelige problemer, der ligger de europæiske borgere på sinde," sluttede han.
"The Lisbon Treaty enables progress and allows the EU to function better with its voice heard louder int he world", he recalled.
Hvor var pro-europæerne?
"We must stop the naval-gazing".
Martin SCHULZ (PSE, DE) påpegede, at EU de sidste otte år har været i gang med at ratificere.
"The EU has spent eight years ratifying various treaties" noted Martin SCHULZ (PSE, DE) and yet is now unable even to put its own house in order, even though this it what it asks of would-be new members.
"Det er en negativ spiral, hvor den europæiske samling er i fare," sagde han.
That Ireland's "no" vote defied calls from all Irish political parties to vote "yes" points to a crisis of confidence in national and supranational institutions - and "the integration process is on the line," he affirmed.
"Han siger, at han ikke har læst traktaten og siger, at det ikke er nødvendigt.
"Where's the passion gone?" he asked.
Hvordan skal man så få befolkningens tillid," sagde Schultz og mente, at det bedste socialpolitiske skridt, Barroso kunnet tage var at tage porteføljen fra McCreevy.
"People speak ill of Europe because they have ängst," he continued, but "Europe is a great tribute to peace in the world - fight for tolerance, and "don't be drowned out by that lot", he urged.
Schultz savnede desuden EU-tilhængerne i debatten, og sagde at 'anti-europa' i dag har en sjæl.
Mr Watson claimed that a "majority in every Member State backs the EU," but agreed that trust in institutions is ebbing away.
"Vi kan se hvor mobile de er - de taget til Irland, de er løbet op af trapper, de har stemt dørklokker, de har delt deres traktater ud, de var overalt!
"The EU cannot be made 'with or without you' - you cannot dissolve the people", he continued, stressing that "in a landscape littered with lies, people are not persuaded - we have done little to convince them."
Hvor var pro-europæerne?" spurgte han og efterlyste den lidenskab, der før var at finde i forhold til det europæiske projekt.
Every national government needs to plan for dialogue, and it is the job of political parties in every Member State, to remedy this, he added, despite the fact that "wealth these days is amassed les honestly, and shared less fairly, than it used to be."
"I dag er denne lidenskab at finde hos dem, der taler dårligt om Europa, fra højrefløjen der taler dårligt om Europa, når de i virkeligheden er bange.
He also suggested launching a Guinness-style compaign publicising why "Europe is good for you."
Men det var blandingen mellem social nedtur og angst, der var fascismens indgang til Europa," sagde Schultz.
Europe means "too much, to too many, to be stopped in its tracks" he concluded.
De andre stats- og regeringsleder burde ifølge Watson også spekulere på, hvordan man fra et fransk formandskab (2000) til et andet er kommet hele vejen 'fra Nice til Nice', med hentydning til, at Nicetraktaten vil være den gældende, hvis Lissabontraktasten ikke kan træde i kraft.
The treaty text, she said, is "unintelligible, hedged round with a forest of protocols and opt-outs" and some countries "will not swallow this", she continued, stressing that "governments of opaqueness have lost out".
Watson argumenterede for, at der er et flertal i hvert medlemsland, der støtter EU, men var enig i, at tilliden til institutionerne var ved at ebbe ud.
What is required is an agreement on a "positive text that flows from convinced countries and democratic forces and is big enough to take the process forward" she concluded.
"EU er ikke noget man kan skabe 'with or without you'" sagde han og fortsatte ned at citere Brecht for, at man ikke bare kan vælge sig et nyt folk.
Brian CROWLEY (UEN, IE) said the no vote represented a "sea change with regards to the opinion of one set of voters in the European Union" towards the treaty and because of the diversity of the people who opposed the treaty, more time is needed to analyse the reasons why.
Folkeafstemning versus parlamentarisk ratifikation
It is not just about peace or prosperity, it is about solidarity."
Monica FRASSONI (Verts/ALE, IT) mente, at EU har behov for en kort og klar forfatning.
For Mr Wurtz, the No Vote was about the "role that Europe plays around the world" and said "we hope that we are going to have a fairer politics in Europe now".
"Jeg har stor respekt for det irske folks vilje.
Nigel FARAGE (IND/DEM, UK) said "well done the Irish" and that "it is perfectly clear that the ratifications should stop now and the implementation of the treaty should stop now".
Men hvordan kan en folkeafstemning, hvor kun halvdelen deltager, være mere demokratisk end en parlamentarisk ratifikation?" sagde hun.
Ashley MOTE (NI, UK) said: "Lisbon required unanimity, you ignore that and you ignore the rule of law itself.
Frassoni mente, at medlemslandene og Kommissionen har valgt en selvmodsigende og kompliceret traktat, som ikke er let at sælge, og som er ulæselig.
The Irish are not just 10% of the EU, they are 100% of those that are allowed to vote and we all know that others would have voted no given the chance".
"Vi kan ikke fortsætte med Nicetraktaten," fastslog hun og mente, at der måtte findes et alternativ til de lande, der er mere fodslæbende.
He also said "suggesting that the process should go on is an arrogance of breathtaking proportions".
Respekt for nej-og ja-sigere
Barroso response to the debate
"Selv blandt nejsigerne bliver det sagt, at det ikke var et nej til EU," sagde han.
Finally, in reaction to statements by Mr Shculz about Commissioner McCreevy, he concluded "do not find easy scapegoats.
Han mindede om, at det ikke var første gang.
Attacking the Irish Commissioner is not the best way to have a constructive dialogue.
Stats- og regeringslederne skal sige nej til arrogance
Listen to the people and they will tell you."
Han mente, at Lissabontraktaten var et udtryk for den måde, Unionen fungerer på.
For Lisbon to be ratified, she said, we need unanimity.
Det er udtryk for elfenbenssyndromet," sagde Francis Würtz, der tolkede det irske nej som et nej til den økonomiske mode,l EU står for i øjeblikket.
"As politicians, our job is to rise to that challenge, to listen to our citizens, to find solutions and to get on with the business of building a better Europe.
Godt gået Irland!
Some on the ‘no’ side in Ireland spoke of a better deal.
"Ratifikationen skal stoppe NU!" sagde han.
The good will for Europe is there in Ireland."
For Ashley MOTE (NI, UK) er retssikkerheden er vigtigere end selve lovene: "Lissabontraktaten kræver enstemmighed, men det bliver ignoreret.
The key issues are: the democratic deficit, neutrality and EU militarisation, workers' rights and the impact of the Lisbon Treaty on the developing world.
Irland udgør ikke kun 10 % af Europa, men 100 % af dem, der havde mulighed for at stemme," sagde han.
In conclusion, she said "democracy must prevail, we must listen carefully."
"At man nu siger, at processen skal forsætte, og at man skal finde smuthuller til, hvordan den kan komme videre med traktaten - det er arrogance," sagde han.
Kathy SINNOTT (IND/DEM, IE) said that "if the response to the democratic will of the people that I have heard in the last five days is outrage, then there is something wrong.
Ikke flere pauser!
Make no mistake: Ireland is pro European.
Poul Nyrup RASMUSSEN (PSE, DK) mente, at der var konsensus i Parlamentet med hensyn til processen. "
We believe, as obviously you do not, that the project has lost its way.
Vi skal respektere det irske nej - men også respektere de andre medlemslande.
It has lost sight of the one thing it needs most – democracy – and forgotten the only people that matter – its citizens.
Lad os fortsætte processen," sagde Nyrup og fortsatte: "Og ikke flere pauser, tak!
It confirms my opinion that the plebiscite is a form of democracy, possibly suited for revolutionary circumstances, but completely unsuited for informed and deliberative decisions on complex treaty revision."
Ikke flere 'reflektions'-perioder.
"The Lisbon Treaty is dead" stated HUDGHTON (Greens/EFA, UK).
Ikke mere snakken uden om.
"Without unanimity that is simply a legal fact.
Lad os tale om de ægte problemer," sagde Nyrup.
Voters, not just in Ireland but in France and the Netherlands too, have said ‘no’ to the Treaty text or its twin brother.
Han understregede, at kritikken af Charlie McCreevy ikke er et personspørgsmål, men et politisk spørgsmål.
To regain the confidence of our peoples, we must do more than just re-badge and rename the Lisbon text and try to push ahead.
Camre sammenlignede med enevældens tid, hvor konger og kejsere mødtes og aftalte, hvorledes de skulle dele magten mellem sig.
The Irish Government, she said, must analyse the outcome calmly, to establish exactly what happened and provide answers.
"'Den tid er kommet tilbage.
It has, she said, always been easier to peddle fear than hope,.
Fyrst Pöttering, kejser Barroso og herskerne i deres lydstater har bestemt, at Europas borgere intet betyder.
Richard CORBETT (PES, UK) said that as well as reflecting on the Irish result, we must also listen to the other 26 countries, their results and also concerns that may be expressed during their ratification.
Hanne Dahl (IND/DEM) sagde i sin tale, at irerne havde stemt nej til Lissabontraktaten, som var en dårlig kopi af den forfatning, som Frankrig og Holland også har stemt nej til.
After all, even some of the ‘no’ campaigners in Ireland professed they claimed their intention was to renegotiate and seek a better agreement."
"Man søger at fremlægge det, som om det irske folk har et problem.
"Some people – and we have heard that from some parts of this House – only want to listen to one side, to the answer that they like, which is the answer ‘no’.
Men det har de ikke.
That is the challenge we must all rise to", he concluded.
Kløften er ikke mellem det irske folk og Europa.
Nevertheless, he continued, the choice made in Ireland is a sovereign decision of the Irish people.
Kløften er mellem Europas folk og Europas statsledere.
The only people who can vary that decision on that Treaty are the Irish people.
Kløften er ikke mellem nogen lande og resten af Europa.
Mr De Rossa proposed a new deadline for ratification of Lisbon.
Frankrig, Holland og Irland ønsker ikke at bremse udviklingen, de ønsker en anden udvikling.
He thought that setting it before the European elections is a reasonable target.
Så fat det dog!," sagde hun og sluttede med en opsang til socialdemokraternes leder Martin Schulz.
"If the Irish people continue to be dissatisfied with Lisbon in whatever form it is finally agreed between us and the rest of Europe, then Ireland will have no option but to renegotiate its relationship with the Union.
"Skam Dem hr. Schulz!
That would be a disastrous course for our country.
De sammenligner såkaldte antieuropæere med fascister, men det er Deres retorik, der er fascistisk.
Europe has very little to lose if it loses Ireland, but Ireland has everything to lose if it loses Europe.
De sagde, at antieuropæerne har løbet trappe op og trappe ned, og at de har stemt dørklokker.
That , he said, will reinforce our unity and our solidarity and produce a positive solution to this crisis.
Det kræver ikke megen historisk bevidsthed at huske, hvordan man talte om de sorte i forrige århundrede.
"We have to wait for the Irish Government to tell us how they think we should proceed.
Schände!" sagde hun.
Jim ALLISTER (NI, UK) ( in writing ) said that the Treaty is dead.

Europa-Parlamentet ønsker mere liberalisering af el-markedet
Energy: European Parliament adopts full ownership unbundling for electricity
Producenterne af strøm skal ikke samtidig være ejere af el-nettet.
In a hotly contested vote, the European Parliament adopted provisions in support of full "ownership unbundling" - the separation of firms' generation assets from their transmission networks - in the electricity market.
Det mener Europa-Parlamentet i en vigtig afstemning onsdag, hvor Parlamentet efter lange diskussioner med Rådet endte med gå ind for en fuld ejermæssig adskillelse mellem produktionen af elektricitet og elektricitetsnettet.
In doing so, (and in endorsing a stronger role for the Energy Regulators Agency) it went even further than the original Commission proposal and challenged an agreement reached recently by the Council.
MEP'erne har dermed vendt ryggen til flere medlemslandes ønske om mere fleksibilitet, og der er lagt op til hårde forhandlinger med Rådet.
Both of these would have allowed European energy companies to retain their network assets, provided they met strict conditions to ensure separation of interests between supply and transmission.
I tre forskellige betænkninger tog Parlamentet onsdag stilling til den tredje energipakke, hvor det især er kravet om den ejermæssige adskillelse af el-produktionen og distributionsnettet, der har voldt problemer.
The Parliament, in turn - following the lead of its Industry Committee - rejected both derogations, backing full ownership unbundling as the only option for electricity companies.
Spørgsmålet om ejermæssig adskillelse er også aktuelt i forhold til gasproduktionen, som Parlamentet skal tage stilling til under næste samling i juli.
"I'm disappointed with the agreement reached by the Council", explained Eluned Morgan (PES, UK) during a debate held prior to the vote.
Ideen med reformen af elmarkedet er at skabe mere konkurrence i energisektoren og dermed forsøge at skabe lavere priser og bedre service til forbrugerne.
This minority, she said - Austria, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Greece, Luxembourg, Latvia and the Slovak Republic, all of whom backed the "third way" proposal - "protect national champions who want to invest in other markets, but refuse entry into their own".
Forskellige grader af adskillelse
MEPs also bolstered the draft legislation with a number of consumer protection measures.
Det er et princip, som især Frankrig og Tyskland med store monopoler på markedet har kæmpet i mod.
the right to have their electricity provided by a supplier regardless of the Member State in which the supplier is registered
Derfor har der under bearbejdelsen af forslaget været præsenteret forskellige modeller for, hvor vandtætte skotter der skal være mellem produktionsfirmaet og dem, der står for distributionen.
the right to protection against market abuse: to that end, national authorities must be able to impose "price caps in uncompetitive markets for a defined and limited period"
Europa-Parlamentet endte med at følge anbefalingerne fra industriudvalget i betænkningen af Eluned MORGAN (PSE, UK), og bakke op om en fuld ejerskabsmæssig adskillelse - uden undtagelser.
It decided, therefore, that EU countries should take "appropriate measures [...] to ensure that the number of people in energy poverty" – those unable to afford heating the home to an acceptable standard, as defined by the WHO – "decreases in real terms."
Ordføreren udtrykte under debatten skuffelse over den aftale, der var indgået i Rådet inden afstemningen, en alternativ løsning kaldt den 'tredje vej,' som foreslår oprettelsen af uafhængige transmissionsoperatører (ITO), der skal stå for driften af nettene.
MEPs also insisted that countries work towards cutting the cost of energy to low income households - and that Member States protect pensioners and disabled people from disconnection of in winter.
