"Hvis man ikke vil have populisme, men have en klimaplan, så har man sagt ja til Lissabon."
"You changed Europe, but Europe has changed you, too" said PES Chairman Martin Schulz (DE) to Mr Sarkozy, whom, he added, had "come out of the closet, as a pro-European".
Martin SCHULZ (PSE, DE) hyldede ligeledes succes'en med klimapakken og var glad for, at Europa-Parlamentet havde fået en central plads i forhandlingerne: "for uden vores hjælp var det ikke gået så godt."
The Presidency had been "quite good" overall, said Mr Schulz, noting that the climate change package in particular had been a "huge success", on which Parliament's rapporteurs, with just 3-5 workers each (compared to the "Commission's 22,000", had done a "top notch" job.
Desuden mindede han om, at han selv og Poul Nyrup-Rasmussen allerede ved formandskabets start havde fortalt Sarkozy, at den økonomiske situation var en tikkende bombe, hvortil der blev svaret, at økonomien ikke var førsteprioritet: "Du har gjort det godt, men det kom nok lidt sent."
As social democrats, "we sought a balance between economic necessity and ecological obligation", he said.
Om situationen i Irland efterlyste han en modig irsk regering, der tør spørge borgerne "hvad ville der være sket, hvis Irland var stået alene i finanskrisen?"
The Presidency also "did well" on the financial crisis, he said, noting that Mr Sarkozy had reacted, albeit "somewhat late" to the time-bomb of social imbalances in Europe.
Graham WATSON (ALDE, UK) kunne trods ros til formandskabet se kritisk på udfaldet af klimapakken "Erhvervslivet bliver set let på og nye medlemslande får gode ordninger, ligesom visse undtagelser ligner støtteordninger."
The Presidency had some a "fairy tale" qualities, noted Graham Watson (ALDE, UK) for the Liberal Democrats, citing inter alia its riding to the rescue of "our lady of Georgia" and welcoming the "Cinderella of London" to the ball.
Daniel COHN-BENDIT (Verts/ALE, DE) erklærede, at "enstemmighed dræber demokratiet" med henvisning til, at alle lande skal være enige, før der kan tages beslutninger ved Rådsmøderne.
Bruno Gollnisch (NA, FR ) for the non-aligned MEPs, believed the current financial crisis showed the Union is "not fit for purpose", since solutions would have been best found at national or at global level.
Dette havde efter hans mening skabt en dårlig aftale om klimapakken og nævnte i den forbindelse, at der var ting, som ikke engang Sarkozy kunne gennemføre, og henviste til "den tyske økonomiske nationalisme."
Concluding, he congratulated President Sarkozy on his six months in office and he hoped that the next six months will be good for the people of Europe.
Han erklærede, at Den Grønne Gruppe ved afstemningen om klimapakken vil "stemme ja til det der er godt, og nej til det der er skidt."
"The assurances given to Ireland will help my country, Scotland, too, by underlining that there is fiscal independence in Europe and that we could nominate a Commissioner as an independent Member State."
Christiana MUSCARDINI (UEN, IT) mente, at Sarkozy specielt havde vist stort mod i forbindelse med krigen i Georgien.
Brian Crowley (UEN, IE) congratulated President Sarkozy on his efforts and not just with regard to Ireland.
Desuden mente hun, at migration, grænsekontrol og landbruget er vigtige emner i fremtiden og hyldede, at Sarkozy nu havde fået reglen om en kommissær til hvert land indført i forbindelse med forhandlingerne med Irland om Lissabon-traktaten.
As move forward, in the light of our experience over the last six months in particular, I think that what is really needed is a Europe that cooperates, coordinates and works together to achieve common goals with a basis of understanding and tolerance for the differing opinions and the different economic cycles which take place within the European Parliament."
Francis WURTZ (GUE/NGL, FR) mente, at det franske formandskab ville blive husket for Sarkozys specielle stil, men erkendte, at han ikke kunne stille sig utilfreds.
Stating that Ireland should be in the European Union, Bairbre De Brún (GUE/NGL, UK) said cooperation with our European colleagues is extremely valuable.
Han sagde, det havde været en katastrofe, hvis ikke der var blevet indgået en aftale om klimapakken, men erklærede samtidig, at der ikke var tale om "historisk enighed, der gør EU til et forbillede."
"To those, like Nigel Farage, who lecture us on democracy and others who say that the people of Europe, given a chance in a direct vote, would say ‘no’ to Lisbon, I want to say: you have neglected to check the facts and figures.
Nigel FARAGE (IND/DEM, UK) erkendte, at Sarkozy har givet EU mere dynamik, men var ked af, at han også havde udtrykt ønske om mere magt til EU.
There must, he said, be a meaningful engagement with the Irish people to rebuild understanding of, and support for, the European process.
"Det er en Union der behandler demokratiet med foragt og ignorerer irernes ønsker."
This disengagement is a major challenge for both the European Union itself and for the national political system and should not be under-estimated again by the Irish Government.
Danske talere
This is not an attempt to ignore the ‘No’ vote.
Poul NYRUP-RASMUSSEN (PSE, DK) indledte med at erklære, at Sarkozy havde nået den bedst mulige aftale under topmødet, da det er svært med 27 medlemslande omkring bordet.
It is an attempt to respond to the ‘No’ vote, to move to meet half way and to try and find a solution that is acceptable to all 27 countries.
Han sagde at finanskrisen endnu ikke er ovre, og at den økonomiske hjælpepakke ikke er nok, men efterlyste tværtimod handling ved G20-topmødet i London den 2. april næste år.
Mr Corbett hoped that will be sufficient to enable a positive result in a new referendum to be held next year, when it is up to the Irish people to make their choice.

Nyt ansættelses- og lønningssystem til MEP'ernes assistenter
I call on the Commission to stop supporting the Council and play the role of an arbitrator."
Politikernes assistenter skal have mere ensartede vilkår for aflønning og ansættelse.
In addition, surveys show that it harms health and safety at work, and makes it very difficult for people to reconcile work and family life.
Betænkningen blev vedtaget med 598 stemmer for, 19 imod og 47 hverken for eller imod.
In this connection, he reminded the House that the legal basis was health and safety of workers.
Forslaget skal sikre gennemsigtighed og hindre diskrimination gennem en række fælles regler vedrørende ansættelsesforhold til europaparlamentarikernes assistenter.
For the Socialists, Jan ANDERSSON (SE) asked "Do we need a directive on working time?" and his answer was "Yes, because we have a common market", so we need common rules on health and safety.
Giuseppe Gargani kommenterede på udfaldet af afstemningen: "Jeg syntes, vi har indgået et godt kompromis mellem medlemmernes (MEP'ernes) ret til det frie valg og behovet for gennemsigtighed."
On behalf of her group, Elisabeth SCHROEDTER (Greens/EFA, DE) emphasised that "Excessive working time makes you ill" and "This affects not just individuals but those around them", in the case of drivers, for example.
Fælles regler for alle assistenter i Bruxelles
Her group would be tougher than the Council, she said, in that it would vote for definite "figures, not just guidelines".
Assistenterne bliver dermed ansat under samme forhold som EU-funktionærerne i de europæiske institutioner, og deres lønninger vil afhænge af deres ansættelsesgrad.
Roberta ANGELILLI (UEN, IT) said that any 'cut-price compromise' would be at the cost of Europe's workers in terms of health, safety and reconciliation of work and family life.
Da forslaget medfører en ændring af lovgivning der vedrører funktionærer i EU-institutionerne, er en formel lovgivningsprocedure nødvendig.
"There is enough flexibility in the current directive and proposed changes for companies to be able to cope if they have a sudden rush of work on," she said.
Efter afstemningen ved plenarsamlingen er der derfor brug for en endelig vedtagelse i Rådet.
"The decline in productivity and creativity is not good for a knowledge-based society.
Målet er, at den ny lovgivning skal træde i kraft lige efter valget til Europa-Parlamentet i juli næste år.
Marian HARKIN (ALDE, IE) said we need to send a clear signal to the EU that a "social Europe is alive and well".

Employment policy
Et indre marked for forsvarsmateriel
The European Parliament sets out new rules on European Works Councils
Den nye lovgivning simplificerer reglerne for at opnå licenser til at flytte militærmateriel over landegrænser.
The directive defines the general principle and norms for information and consultation.
Formålet med det nye direktiv er, at medlemslandene kan spare penge på køb af forsvarsmateriel samtidig med, at forsyningssikkerheden bliver forbedret.
Other provisions The directive also states that matters which concern the entire undertaking or group or at least two Member States, or which exceed the powers of the decision-making bodies in a single Member State in which employees who will be affected are employed, are considered to be transnational.
Der skal stadig føres streng kontrol med, at materiel ikke kommer til kriseområder, ligesom der opstilles en række grunde til, at man ikke kan modtage licenser.
Following the court judgments in the Vilvoorde, British Airways and Marks and Spencer cases, MEPs also adopted amendments to clarify where a situation is "transnational".
Det vil stadig være det enkelte medlemsland, der udsteder licenserne, men indenfor det europæiske regelværk.
Such experts and trade union representatives may be present at negotiation meetings in an advisory capacity at the request of the special negotiating body.
Det er ligeledes medlemslandenes ret at bestemme alle handelsbetingelserne, herunder enhver form for begrænsning af eksporten til tredjelande.
Finally, Member States must ensure that measures taken in the event of a failure to comply with this Directive are "adequate, proportionate and dissuasive".

Mindre udledning fra store køretøjer
Establishing common points of reference for vocational education and training
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog tirsdag en betænkning om, at nye hårdere udledningskrav til trucks, lastbiler og busser (tunge køretøjer der vejer mere end 2.619 kg) skal opfyldes, før de kan få den nødvendige typegodkendelse.
They aim at establishing common points of references to ensure quality in the education systems, create transparency for professional qualifications gained abroad, and help ease cross-border mobility of workers.
De nye grænseværdier til skadelig udledning omfatter krav til ozonskadelige stoffer som kulbrinte og nitrogenoxid såvel som partikelstoffer.
European credit system for vocational education and training (ECVET) The European credit system for vocational training is a methodological framework that can be used to describe qualifications in terms of units of learning outcomes with associated points.
Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets kompromisforslag om en betænkning af Matthias GROOTE (PSE, DE) betyder, at nye Euro VI-krav vil gælde for nye køretøjer produceret fra den 1. januar 2014, ni måneder tidligere end i EU-Kommissionens oprindelige forslag.
Thomas MANN (EPP-ED, DE) recommends that the initiative be introduced gradually with the voluntary participation of Member States.
Forslaget blev vedtaget med stemmerne 610 for, 11 imod og 22 hverken for eller imod.
The report was adopted by 564 votes in favour, 12 against and 8 abstentions.
De er ambitiøse, idet de nye krav udgør en sænkning på 80 % for nitrogenoxid og 66 % for partikelstof.
European Quality Assurance Framework for Vocational Education and Training Across the EU, vocational training is organised at national and regional levels with different standards.
Ifølge Kommissionen medfører kravene også et skridt mod global harmonisering, idet de ligger tæt på amerikanske grænseværdier.
The report by Jan ANDERSSON (PES, SE) asks that a framework for the identification, support and exchange of best practices be provided at national, local and regional levels.
Desuden gøres det muligt for medlemslandene at anvende finansielle incitamenter med det formål at få køretøjerne på markedet hurtigere.
This Recommendation should also contribute to modernising education and training systems, improving the effectiveness of training to ensure that people do not leave without qualifications.

Ingen undtagelse til 48-timers arbejdsuge vedtaget
European Parliament seals climate change package
Ved samlingen i Strasbourg brugte Europa-Parlamentet sin stemme i den fælles beslutningsproces onsdag, da man i forbindelse med afstemningen om arbejdstidsdirektivet afviste brugen af opt-out med 421 stemmer for, 273 imod og 11 hverken for eller imod.
After eleven months of legislative work, the European Parliament gave its backing to the EU's climate change package which aims to ensure that the EU will achieve its climate targets by 2020: a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, a 20% improvement in energy efficiency, and a 20% share for renewables in the EU energy mix.
Ved andenbehandlingen blev man enige om en arbejdsuge på maksimum 48 timer, udregnet på en 12 måneders referenceperiode, og tilskynder en ende på opt-out'en tre år efter direktivets ikrafttrædelse.
Ahead of Parliament's first-reading vote, MEPs had reached informal agreements with the French Presidency on the six proposals which all fall under the co-decision procedure, placing the European Parliament and Council on an equal footing as co-legislators.
Desuden skal enhver form for rådighedstid regnes som arbejdstid i dette regnestykke.
(Full details on the six pieces of legislation can be found in the background note - see link below)
Ved afstemningens afslutning udbrød ordføreren Alejandro CERCAS (PSE, ES):"Dette er en triumf for alle politiske grupper i Europa-Parlamentet - for hele Parlamentet.
Revising the EU's Emission Trading System - report by Avril Doyle (EPP-ED, IE)
Det er en sejr for de to millioner doktorer og medicinstuderende i hele EU."
The revised EU Emission Trading System (ETS) is a key tool for achieving the EU's aim of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions.
Da Europa-Parlamentet vedtog ændringsforslag stillet af ordføreren, blev uenigheden med Rådet (som havde nået en fælles holdning den 9. juni 2008) udtrykt.
It will apply from 2013 to 2020 and should lead to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of 21 % compared to reported 2005 levels.
Dette var i særdeleshed tilfældet, når det kom til den såkaldte opt-out og spørgsmålet om rådighedstid, som er af særlig interesse for sundhedssektoren.
The EU ETS is a "cap and trade" system: it caps the overall level of emissions allowed but, within that limit, allows participants buy and sell allowances as they require, so as to cut emissions cost effectively.
Forslaget skal nu i forligsprocedure mellem Europa-Parlamentet og Rådet.
The Community-wide quantity of allowances issued each year will decrease in a linear fashion, so as gradually to reduce the overall level of emissions each year.
Cercas mente, at: "dette er en mulighed for Rådet for at engagere sig i borgernes dagligdag og at have en konstruktiv forligsprocedure."
The ETS currently covers over 10,000 installations in the energy and industrial sectors, which are collectively responsible for close to half of the EU's emissions of CO2 and 40% of its total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (the remaining 60 % will be covered by the 'non-ETS' Effort Sharing decision).
Et absolut flertal på 393 stemmer var nødvendig ved samlingen for at imødekomme Udvalget for Beskæftigelse og Sociale Anliggenders ændringsforslag eller at vedtage andre ændringsforslag til Rådets holdning.
In the first and second ETS trading periods (2005 -2012) the great majority of allowances were allocated free of charge to installations.
Opt-out I 1993 fik Storbritannien en mulighed for at se bort fra 48 timers arbejdsugen, såfremt en arbejdstager gik med til at arbejde længere.
The revised directive establishes auctioning from 2013 in principle (as proposed by the Commission and backed by the Environment Committee) but it includes several exceptions, as advocated by the European Council on 12 December 2008.
I dag gør 15 medlemslande brug af denne opt-out.
The legislative resolution was adopted with 610 votes in favour 60 against and 29 abstentions.
Europa-Parlamentet foreslog at annullere brugen af denne, tre år efter direktivets ikrafttrædelse.
Effort sharing: Member States targets for CO 2 reduction - report by Satu Hassi (Greens/EFA, FI)
Størstedelen af MEP'erne mener desuden, at en annullering af referenceperioden, der bruges til udregning af den gennemsnitlige arbejdstid, vil gøre organiseringen af arbejdstid mere fleksibel.
The "effort sharing" decision sets binding national targets for each EU Member State to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from non-ETS sources (e.g. road and sea transport, buildings, services, agriculture and smaller industrial installations), between 2013 and 2020.
Debatten Før afstemningen om arbejdstidsdirektivet onsdag debatterede MEP'erne Alejandro CERCAS' (PSE, ES) forslag.
These sources currently account for about 60% of all EU greenhouse gas emissions.
Ordførerens holdning er, at der uden undtagelser skal være tale om en 48 timers arbejdsuge, regnet over en referenceperiode på 12 måneder.
The decision aims to reduce these emissions by 10% overall between 2013 and 2020, so as to contribute towards the EU's overall aim of a 20% reduction in total greenhouse gas emissions by 2020.
Den såkaldte "opt-out" fra dette maksimum, som Storbritannien gør brug af, skal ende 3 år efter forslagets vedtagelse.
The effort sharing decision is the first of its kind worldwide.
Debatten viste en general modstand mod Rådets position.
National targets for UK and Ireland
Vi skal ikke glemme de rettigheder, læger og kvinder og alle andre arbejdstagere har."
The legislative resolution was adopted with 555 votes in favour, 93 against and 60 abstentions.
Han sammenlignede desuden Versailles-traktaten fra 1919 med Rådets holdning.
Equipping power plants to store CO 2 underground - report by Chris Davies (ALDE, UK)
José Albino SILVA PENEDA (PPE-DE, P) mente ikke, det franske formandskab har gjort noget for at give Rådet en ny forhandlingsposition.
Parliament also approved a proposed directive providing for the legal framework for the new carbon dioxide capture and storage technology (CCS).
Han rasede desuden over manglen på balance mellem arbejdsliv og familieliv i Rådets position: "ønsker vi at arbejdstagerne skal arbejde mere end 8 timer om dagen i gennemsnit, når vi regner lørdag med!?"
To cut their CO2 emissions, industrial installations and power plants could in future use this new technology to capture CO2 and store it "permanently and safely underground" in geological formations.
Jan ANDERSSON (PSE, SE) mente, at et fælles arbejdsmarked i EU nødvendiggør et fælles direktiv for arbejdstid.
MEPs secured the funding of demonstration projects by ensuring that 300 million ETS allowances will be awarded to large scale CCS projects in the EU.
Han efterlyste en fleksibel løsning, der gør det muligt at blive enig nationalt og lokalt.
The legislative resolution was adopted with 623 votes in favour, 68 against and 22 abstentions.
Elizabeth LYNNE (ALDE, UK) støttede en frivillig opt-out.
20% renewable energy in the EU's energy mix by 2020 - report by Claude Turmes (Greens/EFA, LU)
En fjernelse af opt-out'en vil tvinge medarbejderne ud på det grå og det sorte arbejdsmarked.
A new directive will lay down mandatory national targets to be achieved by the Member States through promoting the use of renewable energy in the electricity, heating and cooling, and transport sectors in order to ensure that by 2020 renewable energy makes up at least 20% of the EU's total energy consumption.
Hun mente, at rådighedsvagter skal defineres som arbejdstid, og forudså en forligsprocedure, hvor Rådet ikke vil flytte sig.
The agreement foresees that by 2020 renewable energy - biofuels, electricity and hydrogen produced from renewable sources - account for at least 10% of the EU's total fuel consumption in all forms of transport.
Derfor foreslog hun, at man forholder sig til sundhedssektoren i et separat forslag.
The legislative resolution was adopted with 635 votes in favour, 25 against and 25 abstentions.
Dimitrious PAPADAIMOULIS (GUE/NGL, G) var imod Rådets holdning, som han mener er imod arbejdstagerne, befolkningen og EU-Domstolen, idet det fejlagtigt vil have, at rådighedsvagter ikke betragtes som arbejdstid.
A new regulation will set emission performance standards for new passenger cars registered in the EU.
Han mente desuden, at Storbritannien fortsætter Margaret Thatchers fornægtelse af det sociale Europa.
The compromise backs the Commission's proposed target of an average of 120g of CO2/km for the whole car industry by 2012, compared to the current levels of 160g/km.
Derek Roland CLARK (IND/DEM, UK) mente, at arbejdstidsdirektivet er spild af tid.
The regulation sets an average target of 130g CO2/km for new passenger cars to be reached by improvements in vehicle motor technology.
Da Finland overtog formandskabet var de meget ambitiøse, men det blev heller ikke til noget."
The compromise introduces a long term target for 2020 for the new car fleet of average emissions of 95 g CO2/km.
Rådet og EU-Kommissionen på bølgelængde Rådets repræsentant, den franske statssekretær med ansvar for solidaritetsspørgsmål Valerie LÈTARD, indikerede, at Rådets position står fast, idet hun sagde, at en slettelse af opt-out'en ikke var mulig, da der var mindretal herfor.
Manufacturers will be given interim targets of ensuring that average CO2 emissions of 65% of their fleets in January 2012, 75% in January 2013, 80% in January 2014 and 100% from 2015, have to comply with each manufacturer's specific CO2 emissions target.
Hun vil dog gerne have, at Europa-Parlamentet ser i øjnene, hvor vigtig en sag det er for medlemslandene.
In case the average emissions of CO2 exceed the targets, manufacturers will have to pay fines.
Dertil tilføjede han, at en vedtagelse af direktivændringen er vigtig, da den fører til en afklaring af den juridiske situation vedrørende rådighedsvagter.
The revised fuel quality directive requires fuel suppliers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions caused by extraction or cultivation, including land-use changes, transport and distribution, processing and combustion of transport fuels (i.e. fossil fuels like petrol, diesel and gas-oil and also biofuels, blends, electricity and hydrogen) of up to 10% by 2020.
Kommissæren hævdede desuden, at der i dag er hele 14 lande, der benytter sig af opt-out'en mod kun fire i 2003.
The legislative resolution was adopted with 670 votes in favour, 20 against and 25 abstentions.

Europa-Parlamentet når aftale om klimapakken
Sakharov human rights prize awarded to China's Hu Jia
Emissionshandelsordning Avril DOYLE (PPE-DE, IR) er ordfører på direktivet om en fornyelse af EU's system til handel med emissioner, som blev vedtaget med 610 stemmer for, 60 imod, og 29 hverken for eller imod.
President Hans-Gert Pöttering said Hu Jia "was nominated as the representative of the silenced voices of China and Tibet, but today we will hear that voice."
Direktivet sætter begrænsninger for, hvor meget CO2, der kan udledes i atmosfæren.
Elena Bonner, the widow of Andrei Sakharov, was also in the Chamber for the award as were former winners of the Sakharov prize which celebrated 20 years this year.
