Iraks premierminister: Vi har brug for europæisk know-how
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki paints upbeat picture to MEPs
Iraks premierminister, Nouri Al-Maliki
Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki was at the European Parliament
Irak ønsker at skabe "det bedste partnerskab" med EU-landene og drage fordel af Unionens kompetencer.
The situation in the country was also discussed when he met MEPs on the Foreign Affairs Committee and the parliament's delegation for relations with Iraq.
Det var budskabet, da den irakiske premierminister, Nouri al-Maliki, i denne uge besøgte Europa-Parlamentet for at diskutere situationen i sit hjemland med medlemmerne af Udenrigsudvalget.
Mr al-Maliki said progress was being made but technical expertise was needed, stressing also the need for the return of the refugees and their skills.
Under besøget understregede premierministeren, at teknisk assistance fra EU er ønsket.
The exchange of views comes at a critical time after the recent upsurge of violence in Iraq, mainly in the South around Basra but also in Bagdad and its green zone.
I sin tale til Parlamentets udenrigsudvalg indrømmede den irakiske premierminister, at man ikke kan betegne situationen i Irak som stabil "men i forhold til situationen for et år eller et halvt år siden er der sket store fremskridt.
Speaking to MEPs Mr al-Maliki said "I cannot pretend that Iraq is a stable country, but relative to a year and a half ago, we have seen a significant progress.
Irakerne er nu vendt tilbage til universiteterne og arbejdspladserne", sagde han.
Iraqis have returned to universities and jobs" he explained.
José Ignacio Salafranca (EPP-ED, Spanien) spurgte, hvad der ville ske, hvis koalitionsstyrkerne pludselig trak deres tropper ud af Irak.
Spanish MEP José Ignacio Salafranca (EPP-ED) asked what would happen if there was a sudden withdrawal of the coalition forces.
Han tilføjede, at militante grupper vil få forbud mod at deltage i de kommende regionalvalg.
He also said that any party that has armed groups will be denied to right to participate in the upcoming elections which would lead to the reduction in armed conflict.
Teknisk assistance ønsket
Technical expertise needed
Ifølge Nouri al-Maliki er det ikke økonomisk støtte, som irakerne har behov for: "Vi er et rigt land.
British Labour MEP Richard Howitt and Cypriot Liberal Member Marios Matsakis expressed concerns about the use of EU money.
Vi har ikke behov for fonde, men derimod for teknisk ekspertise", sagde den irakiske premierminister.
The Iraqi Prime Minister explained that "we are a rich country, we don’t need funds, we need technical expertise".
Han takkede for de internationale støtteprogrammer, der allerede er iværksat og understregede at europæiske eksperter og forretningsmænd altid er velkomne i Irak.
He thanked for all the international efforts and said professionals, business, experts were welcome.
I marts måned vedtog Europa-Parlamentet en beslutning, der netop sigter mod at målrette EU-støtten til Irak mod teknisk assistance og kapacitetsbygning.
In a resolution adopted in March MEPs called for a new strategy focusing “EU aid in Iraq generally on relevant technical assistance and capacity-building”.
Irakiske flygtninge er snart velkomne til at vende hjem
Refugees urged to return to Iraq
Adspurgt om hvornår han fandt det realistisk, at de irakiske flygtninge kunne returnere til deres hjemland, svarede al-Maliki: "Den irakiske regering gør i øjeblikket et stort stykke arbejde for at sikre alle flygtningenes tilbagevenden.
Asked about the return of the refugees (around 4 million refugees, half of which are internally displaced) he said the "the Iraqi government is making huge efforts to secure the return of all refugees to their homes.
Vi har faktisk brug for deres evner!".
We need their skills to return to the country" he told MEPs.
Europa-Parlamentets formand Hans-Gert Pöttering opfordrede til, at man fra EU´s side gør en aktiv indsats for at uddybe og videreudvikle relationerne mellem EU og Irak.
During talks Hans-Gert Pöttering proposed that the Iraqi parliament establish a delegation for the relations with the EP "with whom we can discuss and then decide very concrete actions".

Finansielle tjenesteydelser på tværs af landegrænser
More cross border financial services under consideration
Udjævning af medlemslandenes skatteniveauer samt et finansielt dataregister er blandt forslagene i grønbogen.
Despite advances in communications most of us still get financial services in the country we live in.
I Kommissionens udspil forslås det at udvikle integrationen på markederne for finansielle detailtjenesteydelser på tre hovedområder.
A Green paper by the European Commission last year looked at promoting the integration of the retail market in financial services.
For det andet er det nødvendigt med tillid, hvis de europæiske forbrugere skal kunne træffe de rigtige valg.
Retail business by banks is responsible for 2 % of the European Union’s GDP.
Dette kan opnås ved, at forbrugerne er tilstrækkeligt beskyttet, og at udbyderne finansielt set er sunde og pålidelige.
An ageing population is increasing the need for private and industrial provision for pension, health and sickness insurance.
For det tredje kan man styrke forbrugernes tillid til, at de kan finde det bedste tilbud, der opfylder deres behov - uanset hvor den finansielle tjenesteyder befinder sig - ved at sætte forbrugerne i stand til at træffe de rette beslutninger.
Among the proposals contained in the Green paper and with which MEPs will have to wrestle are;
Nationale forsikringsselskaber styrer markederne
broader access to credit history data registers
Kun 1 % af EU's forbrugere køber deres finansielle tjenesteydelser tværs over grænserne som fjernkøb, mens 26 % af forbrugerne foretager sådanne indkøb i husholdningen.
At present only 1% of people get financial services from across borders through telecommunications according to the Commission.
På forsikringsområdet har sektoren konsolideret sig gennem fusioner og etablering i stedet for at åbne filialer og udbyde tjenesteydelser tværs over grænserne.
The present situation is that single market for retail services has been created and a legal framework that guarantees financial soundness is in place.
Omfanget af den grænseoverskridende handel er yderst begrænset hvilket afspejler sig i det forhold, at de nationale forsikringsselskaber tegner sig for over 90 % af det samlede præmieprovenu.
The great challenge the Green paper points out is that there is still a long way to go toward harmonisation of payments and banking across the European Union.

Parlamentet godkender EU's regnskaber
2006 budget discharge: better supervision of the Structural Funds
Det er kun fordi EU-Kommissionen har lovet massive forbedringer, at Parlamentet tirsdag valgte at godkende regnskaberne for 2006.
Parliament signed off the accounts of all the EU's institutions and agencies for the financial year 2006.
Dan JØRGENSEN (PSE, DK) har været ordfører på den tungeste del af opgaven, som har med EU-Kommissionens regnskaber at gøre.
The EP rapporteur on the Commission's 2006 discharge, Dan Jørgensen (PES, DK), the decision to grant discharge to the Commission was adopted by 582 votes in favour 77 against and 18 abstentions.
I forhold til Parlamentets regnskab understreger MEP'erne behovet for en statut for assistenter inden 2009.
However, MEPs also want the Commission to present “objective, clear and full information on its capacity to recover unduly paid monies”.
Europa-Parlamentet godkendte tirsdag EU's regnskaber for 2006.
In addition, the Parliament welcomes the fact that as a result of the 2006 discharge the Commission has “finally committed itself to apply a policy of suspending payments as soon as possible following the detection of serious weaknesses in the system”.
Det var især gennemgangen af regnskaberne for Kommissionen og Parlamentet, der var bemærkninger til under debatten.
Finally, the House welcomes and supports “the firm commitment of [Parliament’s] President to ensure the statute for assistants enters force at the same time as the new Members’ Statute.”
Godkendelse af regnskaberne - den såkaldte discharge-procedure - er en af Parlamentets vigtigste opgaver.
The purpose of the budget discharge procedure is to enable Parliament to make a political appraisal of how the EU budget has been spent and to recommend improvements.
Hans betænkning blev vedtaget med stort flertal (582 for, 49 imod og 54 hverken for eller i mod).
MEPs seek to ensure that any problems flagged up by the Court of Auditors or in investigations by the Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) are given political prominence and remedied by improvements in the system.
Nogle af de største uregelmæssigheder fandt Dan Jørgensen og hans kollegaer i forhold til udbetalingen af strukturfondsmidler, som blandt andet bliver brugt til projekter i regioner, der har det svært økonomisk.
By granting a discharge through a resolution voted in April, Parliament approves the implementation of the budget in respect of the relevant financial year.
Revisionsretten har konkluderet, at mindst 12 % af alle udbetalingerne i 2006 ikke skulle have været udbetalt, fordi de ikke levede op til kravene.
If Parliament concludes that there are serious issues to be addressed, it will postpone the granting of discharge.
Med disse forbedringer i vente valgte Parlamentet at godkende regnskaberne.
MEPs propose a wide range of measures, including a European donor card, to tackle problems like organ shortage, transplantation risks and organ trafficking.
Under debatten tirsdag formiddag understregede Dan Jørgensen den vigtige rolle godkendelsen af regnskaberne spiller i Parlamentets kontrol med de andre EU institutioner, og var tilfreds med de forbedringer, som Kommissionen har lagt op til.
Although the use of human organs for transplantation has steadily increased in recent years across the EU, the number of people requiring a transplant is still greater than the number of organs available for transplant.
"Det er meget mere end bare ord.
Mr Adamou said: "10 people die, waiting for an organ donation.
Der er tale om meget konkrete handlinger fra Kommissionen med meget konkrete deadlines, og Kommissionen skal én gang om måneden holde os orienteret i Budgetkontroludvalget om, hvordan det går fremad," sagde Dan Jørgensen under debatten tirsdag formiddag.
It is in our hands to send a forceful message to the Commission but also above all to the Member States and our Governments.
Penge til Irak skal kontrolleres bedre Et af de andre områder, hvor MEP'erne fandt anledning til bekymring, var i forhold til udbetalingerne af udviklingshjælp blandt andet til genopbygning i Irak.
The time has come to take action as European citizens, to mobilise existing resources, to coordinate, to exchange expertise and best practices, to sensitise public opinion, to embrace altruism and to become donors ourselves."
MEP'erne har nu forlangt en årlig liste over projekter, deres geografiske placering og hvem der modtager støtte.
MEP regret that Europol did not come up with a survey on organ selling and trafficking because Europol claims that there are no documented cases.
Ros til Danmark for erklæringer Da langt den største del af EU's budget, 80 %, fordeles af medlemslandene, er det også i medlemslandene, at der er flest fejl.
The House refers to reports of the Council of Europe and the WHO which give clear evidence that the organ trade is also a problem for EU Member States and asks the Commission and Europol to improve monitoring of cases of organ trafficking and draw the necessary conclusion.
Danmark, Sverige, Nederlandene og Storbritannien får ros for at have indført erklæringerne.
Additionally, Member States should make it possible to appoint a legal representative who can decide on donation after one's death, states the report.
Beslutningen om at godkende Parlamentets regnskab for 2006 blev vedtaget med stemmerne 597 for, 50 imod og 40 hverken for eller imod.
They call on the Commission to promote research in biotechnology which, in the future, “may offer the possibility for researchers to grow organs from existing tissues and cells, either from the patients themselves or from other tissue donors”.
Det skete dog ikke uden bemærkninger, især i forbindelse med spørgsmålet om ansættelsesvilkårene for medlemmernes assistenter.
The Commission should, therefore, facilitate alliances between national transplantation organisations in Member States.
MEP'erne insisterer også i betænkningen på, at der ikke må ansættes familiemedlemmer til medlemmerne.
With its experience gained at grass-roots level, its innovative capacity and its potential in terms of the exchange of information and sound practices, civil society can bring significant added value to planned measures.
Et forslag om at offentliggøre interne revisionsrapporter blev ikke vedtaget.
However, in order to do so, civil society must be recognised and supported in both its internal and external dimensions.
Danske talere Udover ordføreren Dan Jørgensen talte også Mogens CAMRE (DF) og Jens Peter BONDE (JuniBevægelsen) i forbindelse med dischargedebatten.
Civil society – the internal dimension: MEPs stress the importance of action by civil society in the achievement of the objectives set out in the EU's drugs strategy as regards prevention, the provision of information and the management of problems associated with drugs dependencies.
Mogens Camre henledte opmærksomheden på, at næsten 30 mia. kroner var blevet fejlagtigt udbetalt og stillede spørgsmålstegn ved EU's strukturpolitik, som han ikke mente havde den tilsigtede effekt med at skabe forbedringer i de udsatte regioner.
They call upon all parties involved at both EU and Member-State level to better recognise the role of civil society in terms of damage-reduction, rehabilitation and social-reintegration policies.
"11 medlemsstater betaler hele gildet for de andre" sagde han og kaldte strukturfondsmidlerne en 'sovepude' for lande, som ikke var villige til at gennemføre reformer.
The experience of European NGOs that are active in this area should also be taken into account in order to help the countries in question to switch local cultivation to therapeutic and medical uses.
Han sluttede af med at sige, at EU kunne klare sig for 15 % af det nuværende budget.
In particular, they call on the Commission and Member States to explore forms of cooperation with civil society organisations involved in the promotion of legal substances derived from coca leaves.
Jens-Peter Bonde mente, at der var sket fremskridt i forhold til åbenhed og kamp mod svindel i EU, siden han blev valgt ind første gang i 1979.
Information campaigns should also be targeted at young consumers, in other words children and minors.
Men han mente, at det var et stort tilbageslag, når flertallet ikke er interesseret i at offentliggøre en intern revisionsrapport om ansættelser af assistenter.
While regretting the selection process for participants in the Forum, MEPs recall that its aim is to establish direct contact with associations that are on the front line in the fight against drugs.
"Hvordan skal vi kunne være vogtere over de andre institutioner, når vi ikke engang tør rense os selv?," sagde han og gav de store grupper i Parlamentet ansvaret for den faldende stemmeprocent til Parlamentet.
More financial means : MEPs request that, subject to budgetary control, the EU becomes involved at a financial level in supporting civil society activities.
På sin sidste samling i Strasbourg, inden han stopper den 9. maj, brugte Jens-Peter Bonde lejligheden til takke sine kollegaer for godt samarbejde og ønskede, at kollegaerne skulle fortsætte kampen for åbenhed.
They call on Member States to cover as far as possible, through public financing, the services proposed by professional civil organisations and request that financial measures be set out in order to assist voluntary organisations and parents’ associations that take action in the fight against drugs.

MEP'ere: Organer er ikke en handelsvare
Forward movement the best medicine against stagnation, says Slovenian President
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog tirsdag en betænkning om organtransplantation, der tager skarpt afstand fra handel med organer, og MEP'erne lægger op til et europæisk donorkort.
President Türk opened by saying "This Parliament, and indeed the European Union as a whole, is a magnificent embodiment of a great vision – a vision of durable peace and prosperity brought to the peoples of Europe by the spirit of cooperation and ever stronger integration."
Derfor opfordrer de til, at medlemslandene organiserer sig bedre og udnytter det fulde potentiale for udnyttelse af organerne.
Indeed, "the international community is facing a stark choice: either to continue with incremental methods and face a disaster, or to try to muster a transformative approach".
I Danmark arbejder de danske hospitaler sammen med andre nordiske hospitaler og udveksler organer.
Turning to human rights, Mr Türk said "Massive and systematic violations persist in may parts of the world".
Stop handlen med organer og "organturisme" På grund af den store mangel på organer er der fare for, at der opstår et illegalt marked.
He stressed that "EU leadership is particularly necessary at this stage when global action in the field of human rights is lagging behind".
De henviser til, at handel med organer og væv er en form for menneskehandel og dermed en alvorlig overtrædelse af de grundlæggende menneskerettigheder.
He stressed the need for the EU to help make the UN Human Rights Council and the International Criminal Court more effective and "to look at new ways of engaging with the UN Security Council".
MEP'ere opfordrer også til, at der indføres et europæisk donorkort som supplement til de nationale ordninger.
To achieve this, "integration has to include effective access to good quality education, including linguistic education, and access to universities."
1. januar 2008 stod 615 danskere på venteliste til et nyt organ, og i 2007 blev der foretager 276 organtransplantationer i Danmark.
For example, "the EU needs Turkey" and "should not deprive Turkey of the perspective of membership as this has already been granted.
Danske talere under debatten Margrete AUKEN (SF) talte på vegne af Verts/ALE-Gruppen.
The credibility of the EU is at stake."
