Debat om EU´s fremtid
Agora; bring civil society into the Parliament
Agora-mødet i Europa-Parlamentet
Agora - civil society in the Parliament
Omkring 400 repræsentanter fra det europæiske civilsamfund kom i sidste uge til Europa-Parlamentet for at debattere perspektiverne for EU´s fremtid.
Last Thursday and Friday saw 400 representatives from across Europe at the European Parliament.
Forumet hedder Agora, og idéen er, at det skal fungere som en diskussionsplatform for relevante spørgsmål relateret til EU´s fremtid.
They were there as part of the "Agora" platform aimed at more direct democracy and giving people a say in how the EU works.
Gæsterne, der repræsenterede sammenslutninger, NGO´er og fagforeninger var kommet fra hele Europa for at debattere perspektiverne for EU´s fremtid.
The need for a "human vision" in policy and projecting Europe's values of democracy and tolerance on the international stage were all stressed.
Pöttering understregede, at EU er "bygget på fælles værdier" og at Europa-Parlamentet, som den eneste direkte valgte EU-institution, var det bedste forum for et europæisk folkemøde af denne type.
Agora was set up by the European Parliament last year in the wake of the "No" votes on the Constitution in France and the Netherlands in mid-2005.
Agora-initiativet har taget sit navn fra forum i det antikke Grækenland.
Opening the first meeting last Thursday EP President Hans-Gert Pöttering hailed it as a "special day".
Målsætningen med Agoraen er at inddrage de europæiske borgere mere direkte i konstruktionen af Den Europæiske Union gennem debatmøder og direkte demokrati.
Welcoming the assembled guests to the Plenary Chamber in Brussels he underlined the shared values of the European Union and said that as the Parliament is the only directly elected EU Institution, it had a right to hold the event.
Mødet fokuserede på hvilke udfordringer, muligheder og værktøjer den nye reformtraktat giver EU.
The opportunities and challenges of the new Reform Treaty formed the basis of the two plenary debates and workshops held over the two days.
Mødet bestod af fem workshops og to plenum-debatter.
Among the conclusions that speakers came to were the following:
De godt 400 repræsentanter fra civilsamfundet fik rig mulighed for frit at diskutere EU´s fremtid.
Make Agora permanent so that civil society and the European Parliament can communicate better.
De fem workshopper havde til opgave at udarbejde forslag til EU politikker på forskellige områder.
The need for more participation in democracy (elections) across the EU.
Ønsket om direkte demokrati og mere involvering af borgene i de politiske beslutningsprocesser var et tema, der fyldte meget under afslutningsdebatten.
As for the internal workings of the European Union speakers there was a consensus that;
Lige muligheder
The EU's borders are not set in stone.
Flere af mødedeltagerne pegede på det urimelige i lønforskellen mellem mænd og kvinder i EU.
New rules are need to ratify Treaties.
De opfordrede EU til at vedtage regler på området, der kunne sikre kvinder og etniske minoriteter lige muligheder på arbejdsmarkedet.
The "gender perspective" of policy at an EU level needs to be strengthened.
EU på den globale arena
Greater EU role abroad
Et stort flertal af mødedeltagerne ønskede at styrke af EU´s rolle som aktør på den internationale scene.
As well as looking at the internal workings of the EU civil society speakers also turned their attention to the Union's role internationally.
Der var bred opbakning til reformtraktatens styrkelse af EU´s eksterne dimension - herunder særligt de nye kompetencer til den høje repræsentant for EU´s udenrigspolitik.
In particular they;
Behovet for at styrke EU´s rolle som forkæmper for fred, demokrati, og religionsfrihed overalt i verden blev set som en af EU´s vigtigste opgaver i fremtiden.
Called on the EU to take the lead internationally in the search for peace, as a development donor and also in the fight against corruption.
Endelig var der også bred konsensus om at EU skulle have et menneskeligt ansigt, når det kom til asyl- og immigrationspolitik.
Stressed the need to promote European values such as democracy, the rule of law, tolerance, diversity and freedom of religion.
Luftfartsselskaber bør bidrage til at sænke udslippet af drivhusgasser
MEPs debate extending Emissions Trading to Aviation
Fly bidrager stærkt til udledningen af CO2
Environmental irony: planes delayed by smog
Europa-Parlamentets Miljøudvalg støtter Kommissionens forslag om, at flytrafikken skal være omfattet af EU's ordning for handel med drivhusgasser, men kræver skrappere krav til grænserne for CO2 udledning.
CO2 emissions from planes have risen 87% since 1990, just at a time when the EU is trying to bring them down to meet Kyoto targets.
Flytrafikken er den transportform, der er med til at udlede mest CO2 pr. kilometer pr. passager.
Being debated will be a proposal for the Emissions Scheme to apply to all European air traffic by 2010 alongside steep cuts in emissions.
Det er langt mere miljøvenligt at tage bilen eller endnu bedre toget, hvis man vil undgå udledning af CO2.
The proposals to be debated later today were recently backed by MEPs on Parliament's Environment Committee.
Derfor forslår Kommissionen at inkludere alle fly - der lander eller letter i EU - i EU´s ordning for handel med drivhusgasser (ETS) senest i 2012.
They go further than the Commission's original suggestion of 2012 to be the date to include European air-traffic.
Som alle brancher under ETS, vil flyselskaberne få mulighed for at sælge kvoter, hvis de reducerer deres udledning.
By calling for a 25% cut in existing levels of CO2 emissions by planes by 2010, MEPs differ from the Commission which wants existing levels (2004-2006) to be stabilised and remain the future benchmark.
Omvendt vil de også kunne købe kvoter, hvis deres udledning er for høj.
This stance takes them further than the Parliament's rapporteur on the issue, German MEP Peter Liese (EPP-ED).
Stigningen i CO2 udledningen er enorm
He welcomes the cut but thinks 25% is "technically not feasible".
EU's ordning for handel med drivhusgasser blev etableret i 2005 for at inspirere virksomheder til at reducere deres CO2-udslip.
The Emissions Trading Scheme was established in 2005 as a way of using market incentives for companies to reduce their CO2 emissions.
I dag kan de virksomheder, der er omfattet af ordningen købe og sælge kvote-rettigheder for op til 1 mio. ton CO2 hver.
Currently companies can buy and sell allowances worth 1 tonne of CO2 each.
Det nye i Kommissionens udspil er, at flysektoren bliver omfattet af EU's ordning for handel med drivhusgasser.
Some of those sectors that are covered include power and heat generators, oil refineries, metals, pulp and paper.
Hvor Kommissionen havde forslået at tildele kvoter der svarer til 100 % af de gennemsnitlige emissioner, mener Miljøudvalget, at der kun skal tildeles gratis kvoter svarende til 75 %.
Other energy intensive energies can also take part.
Stigningen i drivhusgasudledningerne fra fly er enorm, påpeger parlamentets ordfører Peter Liese (PPE-DE, Tyskland) i sin betænkning, som Parlamentet skal diskutere mandag aften.
The amount that can be bought or sold is allocated in "National Allocation Plans" with about 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 being traded daily.
I forhold til 1990 er emissionerne fra fly blevet fordoblet.
Crucially, aviation is not one of the industries.
Er lavprisselskabernes tid forbi?
Peter Liese would like to see air traffic included in the scheme.
Kommissionen estimerer, at prisen på en flybillet vil stige med mellem 1,8 € til 9 € i 2020, hvis forslaget bliver vedtaget.
"Emissions trading is the most important instrument of the EU to mitigate climate change."
De påpeger, at det er en relativ lav stigning i sammenligning med den betydning, som ændringer i oliepriserne har.
As for the way in which it will work he explained that "in contrast to the existing scheme, the allocations for aviation will not be distributed by the member states but by a Euro­pean harmonised allocation method".
Miljøudvalget: Reglerne bør træde i kraft i 2010
Environment Committee MEPs want all flights included
Miljøudvalget ønsker, at alle flyvninger, både de interne flyvninger i EU og flyvningerne til og fra tredjelande allerede fra 2010 skal være omfattet af ordningen.
MEPs on the Environment Committee also want all flights included by 2010.
Kommissionen havde foreslået, at de interne flyvninger skulle være omfattet fra 2011 og de eksterne fra 2012.
The Commission had earlier envisaged inter-EU flights by 2011 and then flights departing or arriving from the EU by 2012.
Som ordføreren Peter Liese sagde: "Det er svært at forklare, at et fly fra Storbritannien til Marokko ikke er omfattet, mens et fly fra Storbritannien til de Kanariske Øer vil være omfattet."
Explaining the rationale behind the stance Peter Liese said, "it is difficult to explain that a flight from the UK to Morocco is not covered by the scheme from the start while a flight from the UK to the Canary Islands would be".

They point out that this is very small in comparison to changes caused by oil prices.

MEP´er debatterer udvidelsen af Schengen
MEPs to debate extension of Schengen system to 9 states for Christmas
Ikke flere grænsekontroller
German and Polish guards open the border in May 2004
9 nye EU-medlemslande står til at indtræde i Schengen-samarbejdet til december.
The prospect of passport-free travel around Europe took a step closer on 8 November when EU Ministers agreed to enlarge the Schengen border-free zone to 9 new countries.
Det vil efter al sandsynlighed betyde, at borgerne fra disse lande vil slippe for at vise deres pas, hvis de skal rejse rundt i Schengen-området i juleferien.
Meeting in Strasbourg today MEPs will debate a report on the new system which would affect land and sea borders by 21 December and air borders in March 2008.
Europa-Parlamentet vil i denne uge diskutere Schengen-udvidelsen.
This means the days of showing passports when you cross the borders of these states and the existing 13 Schengen countries could soon be over.
Parlamentet vil under denne uges parlamentssamling Strasbourg diskutere udvidelsen af Schengen-samarbejdet med 9 nye medlemslande (alle de nye EU-medlemslande, der tiltrådte i 2004, minus Cypern).
The countries affected are those that joined the Union in 2004, namely the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia.
EU´s indenrigsministre vedtog enstemmigt at gennemføre den såkaldte "big bang udvidelse" den 8. november.
Cyprus may join in 2009 and Romania and Bulgaria are not likely to join before 2011.
Schengen udvidelsen: betydningen for de nye medlemmer
Goodbye passport controls?
Schengen-systemet gør det muligt for borgerne i de deltagende lande at bevæge sig frit indenfor hele Schengen-området.
In practical terms it means that if you are a Czech citizen working in Finland or a Latvian working in Belgium, you will be able to drive home for Christmas without showing your passport.
Den interne grænsekontrol vil den 21. december 2007 blive ophævet for de 9 nye lande, og restriktioner for flytrafik vil blive fjernet i slutningen af marts 2008.
National law may require you still carry and ID card or a valid passport document but slowing down to show the passport at the border should be at an end.
Derfor vil det ikke længere være nødvendigt at vise sit pas, når man krydser grænserne i Schengen-landene.
Parliament's rapporteur on the issue, Portuguese MEP Carlos Coelho (EPP-ED) supports the extension of the Schengen zone but wants EU countries to keep Parliament and the Council informed of the technical steps that some states still have to take to implement Schengen.
Man bør dog altid have et gyldigt ID - kort på sig, så man kan blive identificeret.
The extension of Schengen also means that cooperation between police and customs authorities will be increased.
Til gengæld vil samarbejdet mellem politistyrkerne, toldmyndighederne samt det eksterne grænsesamarbejde blive intensiveret.
This is to ensure that any security concerns due to the falling of borders are dealt with.
Kernen i samarbejdet er den fælles database SIS (Schengen Information System), hvor myndighederne fra Schengen-landene udveksler oplysninger med hinanden.
Cooperation between different police forces is done mainly through the Schengen Information System (SIS) - a computer database that holds information related to the scheme.
De nye Schengen-lande skal, på lige fod med de gamle lande, deltage i arbejdet med at behandle visum-ansøgninger.
The new system will also allow people from non-EU countries to enter the EU and travel throughout the zone on a single visa.
Schengen-systemet gør det muligt for borgere fra tredjelande at rejse gennem hele Schengen-området på et enkelt visum.
In practical terms this means that that the 9 new Schengen countries will have to share the burden of dealing with visa applications with other countries in the zone.
Schweiz planlægger at indtræde i samarbejdet i 2008.
This kind of interdependence means cooperation between states is important.
Han anbefaler, at de nye medlemslande i løbet af de kommende 6 måneder oplyser Rådet og Parlamentet om hvilke tiltag, de planlægger at tage i forbindelse med optagelsen.
The UK and Ireland participate in the area of police and judicial cooperation, but retain border controls.
Ministerrådet vil tage sin endelige beslutning om optagelsen den 6 og 7. december 2007.
MEPs will vote on the issue Thursday.

Mandag under EP-samlingen
Monday in Plenary: Soil protection, Sport in Europe, Aircraft emissions
Beskyttelse af jorden
Erosion of soil can lead to floods, landslides
Europa-Parlamentets samling i Strasbourg blev åbnet af Parlamentets formand, Hans-Gert Pöttering.
The Plenary session opened with Parliament's President Hans Gert Pöttering sending condolences to the families of those killed in the Finnish school shooting last week.
Nye regler for beskyttelse af jordbunden, idræt i folkeskolerne og CO2-udledning fra fly var blandt emnerne på dagsordenen.
The protection of Europe's soil from contamination, the need for more sport in schools and aircraft emissions were also discussed on Monday.
Nye regler for beskyttelse af jordbunden
Soil - guarding against contamination and floods
MEP´erne diskuterede to betænkninger om beskyttelse af jordbunden.
Action to protect soil in Europe was the subject of two reports debated in Parliament on Monday.
I den ene betænkning af Cristina Gutierrez-Cortines (PPE-DE, Spanien), ønsker Miljøudvalget at fremhæve den bæredygtige brug af jordbunden for at forebygge de forringelser, der kan komme i forhold til klimaændringer.
The report by Spanish MEP Cristina Gutiérrez-Cortines (EPP-ED) concerned the setting up of a legal framework including a proposal to set up public inventories of contaminated sites within the EU.
Direktivet er det første, der beskæftiger sig direkte med beskyttelsen af jordbunden.
The second report by Italian Liberal Vittorio Prodi concerns a thematic strategy for soil protection.
I den anden betænkning, der er en initiativbetænkning af Vittori Prodi (ALDE, Italien), udtrykker MEP'erne bekymring over de menneskeskabte og naturskabte forringelser af jordbunden.
It cites erosion and resulting natural disasters as some of the reasons soil protection is needed.
MEP'erne hæfter sig særligt ved forringelsernes betydning for klimaændringerne - f.eks. i forhold til skovrydninger, der kan bidrage til CO2-udslippet.
Amendments were proposed aiming to give more flexibility to individual countries on how they put the directive into practice.
Afstemningen om de to betænkninger finder sted tirsdag.
Both reports are voted on Tuesday.
Mere idræt i folkeskolerne
The role of sport in education
Siden 2002 er den tid, der er blevet afsat til idrætsundervisning i EU, faldet fra 121 til 109 minutter om ugen.
Among the facts presented in the report are:
Schmitt peger også på de manglende sportsfaciliteter, der er et udbredt problem i flere medlemslande.
14 million overweight people in the EU
Der er næsten 3 millioner stærkt overvægtige børn i Europa, og tallet stiger måned for måned.
Across the entire EU27, almost 1 in 4 children is overweight
Det bringer det samlede antal overvægtige i Europa op på omkring 14 millioner mennesker.
50% of children have physical activities at school (Schmitt)
Næsten hvert fjerde europæiske barn har problemer med overvægt, og det er først og fremmest manglende fysisk aktivitet, der er skyld i problemet.
Mr Schmitt, a double Olympic fencing champion, called the lack of physical activity at school a lifestyle problem.
MEP´erne debatterede mandag hvordan luftfart kan inkluderes i EU's ordning for handel med drivhusgasser.
Physical fitness should be enhanced by schools and is important for children also to develop mentally".
EU's ordning for handel med drivhusgasser blev etableret i 2005 for at inspirere virksomheder til at reducere deres CO2-udslip.
The report urges EU governments to carry out information campaigns, aimed at children from a very early age and their parents, on the need to adopt a healthy lifestyle, and engage in regular physical activity and on the health risks linked to an unhealthy diet.
I dag kan de virksomheder, der er omfattet af ordningen købe og sælge kvote-rettigheder for op til 1 mio. ton CO2 hver.
Emissions Trading Scheme - should Aircraft be included
På baggrund af den store stigning i flyrejser, særligt som følge af lavprisselskaberne entre på markedet, var der under debatten stor enighed om, at der burde gøres noget for at få CO2 udslippet under kontrol.
MEPs debated how aviation should be included in the EU's Emissions Trading Scheme.
Flere MEP´er støttede tanken om, at alle flyvninger, både de interne flyvninger i EU og flyvningerne til og fra tredjelande allerede fra 2010 skal være omfattet af ordningen.
Against a background of a booming low-cost airline industry and increased business travel, they considered a proposal for the Emissions Scheme to apply to all European air traffic by 2010, alongside steep cuts in emissions.

EU´s naboskabspolitik: Fra Moldova til Marokko
Moldova to Morocco - EU Neighbourhood policy debated
Ugens ordførere: Charles Tannock og Raimon Obiols
Neighbours and Rapporteurs: Charles Tannock and Raimon Obiols
EU´s naboskabspolitik (ENP) blev oprettet i 2004 med det formål at styrke udviklingen, stabiliteten og sikkerheden i det udvidede EU og dets nabolande.
The "European Neighbourhood Policy" was set up in 2004 to encompass relations with states that border the enlarged EU.
Det omfatter i øjeblikket 16 lande.
It covers political and economic and cultural cooperation with 16 countries that have land or sea borders with the European Union.
Hvad er de vigtigste målsætninger med ENP, og bliver de indfriet?
1.- What are the main objectives of the policy and are they being achieved?
Tannock : Målsætningen med ENP er at skabe fred, sikkerhed, respekt for menneskerettigheder, demokrati, retsstatsprincip og udvikling i EU´s nabolande.
Charles Tannock: The European Neighbourhood Policy's (ENP) declared function is to establish around the EU a common area of peace, stability, security, respect for human rights, democracy, the rule of law and prosperity.
ENP´s vision er at få trukket en ring af lande eller en "cirkel af venner" ind i en tættere integration - uden at give løfter om fuldt EU medlemskab (selvom det dog ikke er udelukket).
Its vision is a ring of countries or ‘circle of friends', drawn into further integration, but without any implications or undertakings for them becoming full members of the EU (which is not excluded).
Betænkningen konkluderer, at resultaterne varierer meget mellem ENP-landene.
In reality the report recognizes that the track record so far is patchy with results varying considerably among the ENP partner countries.
Et andet aspekt ved ENP og det strategiske partnerskab med Rusland er at støtte det grænseoverskridende samarbejde med lande langs EU´s ydre land- og havgrænser.
Another important aspect of the ENP and the strategic partnership with Russia, is to facilitate cross-border cooperation with countries along the EU’s external land and maritime borders.
Obiols : Efter min mening har vi succes med at skabe et område med stabilitet og udvikling - både øst og syd for Europa.
The report supports generous budgetary assistance to make the ENP a greater reality.
Der er besværligheder og problemer, men tendensen er positiv.
Obiols : I think we are indeed succeeding in expanding an area of stability and prosperity towards the East and the South of Europe; there are difficulties and problems, but the tendency is positive.
Hvordan mener I at Den Europæiske Naboskabspolitik skal udvikle sig?
2.- How do you believe the European Neighbourhood Policy should evolve?
Hvilke ændringer forslås i betænkningen?
What changes does your report call for?
T: Det vil altid være svært at opnå den samme grad af integration med lande så forskellige som Moldova og Marokko.
T: The policy needs fresh momentum and more cohesion.
