Fra debatten mandag:
Debate: Monday, 23 April
Kommissionen støtter kompromis
The European Parliament debated a draft regulation designed to foster gene therapy, somatic cell therapy and tissue engineering.
Fra EU-Kommissionen var det næstformand for Kommissionen og kommissær for erhvervs- og virksomhedspolitik Günter VERHEUGEN, der havde ordet:
Commissioner Günter VERHEUGEN , Vice-President of the Commission, with responsibility for Enterprise and Industry, began by stating that "There are countless people in Europe who are ill ..[and that].. these new therapies will bring hope to many ailing people."
"Forordningen skal garantere at patienter får godkendte, virksomme og sikre lægemidler," sagde Verheugen, men understregede også, at etiske spørgsmål altid falder ind under medlemslandenes kompetenceområde, og at organ- og vævsdonation altid skal være gratis.
With regard to the question of ethical issues, the Commissioner pointed out that this law is about making sure "that the patient receives effective medicines ... it is not intending to do anything else ..[..]..
Ordfører skuffet over proceduren
What we are doing is strictly observing the principle of subsidiarity because ethical matters are the responsibility of Member States."
Han sagde, at Industriudvalget støtter forslaget, og håbede at det ville gå glat igennem.
But usually they are in the USA and not in Europe, which is to our loss.
Han var uenig med ordføreren i hans opbakning til de to ændringsforslag fra Retsudvalget.
I have to say, with respect to the rapporteur, I would like to congratulate him for his work but I have to respectfully disagree with him with regard to the two amendments from the Legal Affairs Committee which seemed to me, and to many on my committee, to be pushing in exactly the opposite, retrogressive direction of this proposal.
Talerne fra grupperne: Gennembrud eller farlig kurs?
Political Group speakers
John BOWIS (PPE-DE, UK) talte på vegne af PPE-gruppen: "Vi står på grænsen til et nyt gennembrud - roden til dette er udviklingen af avanceret terapi.
John BOWIS (EPP-ED, UK) said: "It is, as the Commissioner has said, an exciting time in medical research.
Nogle af disse produkter har vi allerede på markedet, derfor er der behov for at sikre en højere grad af patientsikkerhed i EU.
We are on the verge of a new breakthrough and the root for this is the development of advanced therapies, using gene and cell therapies and tissue engineering.
Konrad SZYMAŃSKI (UEN, PL) var dybt uenig med sine tre kollegaer.
Konrad SZYMAŃSKI , (PL) speaking for the UEN group, warned that "despite great efforts made by the rapporteur", the proposal on advanced therapies "may have serious shortcomings", for if the package of amendments is not supported there is the danger that "there may not be enough guarantees for human dignities."
"Vores holdning til avanceret terapi er, at den er behæftet med væsentlige fejl.
Ensuring the "non-commercial of the human body" is essential, and it is also important to "avoid genetic interventions" and recognise the need for "clear bans" on the issue.
Der er ikke garanti for, at man ved at ødelægge menneskeligt liv kan opnå bedre terapier," sagde han.
A "disastrous signal" will be sent out, Mrs Breyer added, tantamount to a "breaking down of the ethical dam", if the EP were to abandon its opposition on these ethical principles, for "we have to speak out clearly in favour of European values."
Han mente ikke at man, som forsvarer af menneskerettigheder i verden, kan se passivt til, ved ikke engang at forbyde handel med menneskeligt materiale i denne forordning.
The purpose of this proposal, Adamos ADAMOU (GUE/NGL, CY) said, is to "allow Member States to decide themselves whether or not they can use these ethically sensitive products."
Hver enkel medlemsstat kan selv bestemme - det vi skal bestemme er rammen," sagde han
I fully support the Socialist Group position and call on all Members – and indeed I would particularly call on all my Irish colleagues – to support this regulation."
Johannes BLOKLAND (IND/DEM, NL) gik ind for at støtte ændringsforslaget om at stoppe kommercialisering af den menneskelige krop.
Kathy SINNOTT (IND/DEM, IE) referred to the visit of the Ukrainian Prime Minister to the European Parliament last month.
Han satte spørgsmålstegn ved disse terapiformer og var bekymret for, at enkelte landes forbud kunne blive underkendt efterfølgende af EF-Domstolen
If we uphold the ban on commercialisation and if we exclude human embryos from the scope of this directive, then we will be able to do something about the wealthy buyers within the EU.
På vegne af Rådet var det fra det tyske formandskab, statssekretæren for Folkesundhed, Klaus Theo Schröder, der havde ordet.
There are also many medical researchers and therapists with the means to help those patients, and they are all waiting for this important piece of legislation.
Han støttede pakken af kompromisændringsforslag, og understregede, at formålet med forordningen er, både at sikre konkurrenceevnen for bioteknologi og at sikre patienterne kvalitet og sikkerhed i forbindelse med de nye produkter.
It is urgently required, it will be of great benefit and there is no reason for delaying its implementation by loading it with unnecessary ethical provisos and carve-outs that are impossible to agree with the Council.
Han meddelte, at Rådet ikke kunne støtte de to ændringsforslag om etik.
So I ask my colleagues, and particularly my good friend the rapporteur, to let this vitally important piece of legislation proceed this week, so that agreement with the Council can be reached.

Intellektuelle ejendomsrettigheder: EU skal kunne straffe pirater
Intellectual property: pirates and counterfeiters to feel the full weight of criminal law
Der skal slås hårdt ned mod de kriminelle bander, der i stor stil producerer piratkopierede varer og forfalsker varemærker.
The first EU directive aiming at harmonising national criminal law was backed by the European Parliament when it adopted on Wednesday a first-reading report on legislation imposing criminal sanctions for the infringement of intellectual property rights.
Parlamentet vedtog onsdag førstebehandlingsteksten til det første EU-direktiv, som har til formål at harmonisere nationale straffelove, med en betænkning, der foreslår strafferetlige sanktioner for overtrædelse af intellektuelle ejendomsrettigheder.
If ultimately adopted, the directive will oblige all Member States to regard any intentional infringement of an intellectual property right carried out on a commercial scale as a criminal offence.
Betænkningen er udformet af Retsudvalget af ordføreren Nicola ZINGARETTI (PSE, IT), der selv kalder de nye regler en radikal ændring.
The deterrent measures being proposed range from fines to imprisonment, according to the gravity of the crime.
Teksten foreslår sanktioner, som går fra bøder til fængselsstraf afhængig af alvorligheden af forbrydelsen.
The EP excluded patent rights from the scope of the directive, and decided that criminal sanctions should apply only to infringements deliberately carried out to obtain a commercial advantage.
Formålet med det nye direktiv er at sætte ind over for varemærkeforfalskning og piratkopiering, navnlig inden for musik, luksusvarer og beklædningssektoren.
Piracy committed by private users for personal, non-profit purposes is therefore also excluded.
Ved at vedtage Zingarettis betænkning med stemmerne (374 for, 278 imod 17 undlod) bakkede medlemmerne af Parlamentet op om Kommissionens overordnede forslag, men ønskede at eksludere patentrettigheder fra direktivet, ligesom de besluttede, at det kun skulle være overtrædelser, der var foretaget med henblik på økonomisk berigelse, der skulle straffes.
The proposed directive aims to ensure that national judicial authorities will always be able to impose sufficiently serious penalties by setting out minimum levels for the upper limits on punishments imposed by national law.
MEP'erne ønsker således ikke kopiering til privat brug omfattet.
At present maximum fines for violating intellectual property rights range from £586 in Greece to £67,000 in Holland.
De nuværende regler og straffe for overtrædelse af reglerne er meget forskellige fra land til land.
Maximum prison sentences range from three months in Greece to 10 years in Britain.
Det foreslåede direktiv har til formål at sikre, at nationale juridiske myndigheder altid kan komme med strenge straffe ved at sætte et fælles minimumsniveau for de øvre straffegrænser for de nationale domstole.
Under the new directive, in cases of serious crimes committed by a criminal organisation, the maximum penalty must be at least €300,000 and/or four years' imprisonment.
Ved alvorlig kriminalitet begået af organiserede bander skal den maksimumstraf, som de enkelte lande benytter sig af, således mindst være på 300.000 € og/eller fire års fængsel, når overtrædelsen udgør en sundheds- eller sikkerhedsrisiko.
The same applies where the offences carry a health or safety risk.
For mindre alvorlige overtrædelser skal landenes maksimumstraffe være på mindst 100.000 €.
For less serious infringements, the maximum penalties should include criminal and civil fines of at least €100,000.
Medvirken til eller opfordring til at krænke de intellektuelle ejendomsrettigheder skal også betragtes som en strafferetlig overtrædelse.
Aiding or abetting and inciting anyone to infringe intellectual property rights will also be treated as a criminal offence.
Det foreslåede direktiv forholder sig til Kommissionens fortolkning af EF-Domstolens afgørelse fra 13. september 2005 om strafferetlig beskyttelse af miljøet.
The proposed directive reflects the Commission's interpretation of the European Court of Justice's ruling of 13 September 2005.
Ifølge Kommissionen åbner denne afgørelse op for, at EU kan benytte sig af strafferetlige sanktioner, hvis det er nødvendigt for at sikre en effektiv implementering af Fællesskabsretten.
According to the Commission, this judgment allows for measures under the Community method to insist on criminal sanctions where these are required for the effective implementation of Community law.
Parlamentets tekst bliver nu sendt videre til Rådet, hvor medlemslandenes regeringer skal diskutere sagen.
The text adopted by the Parliament will now be sent to the Council for discussion by national governments.
Prisen på de fremtidige udvidelser
Gearing regional policy to EU enlargement scenarios
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog tirsdag med stort flertal (473 for, 113 imod og 104 undlod) en betænkning, der ser på de kommende udvidelsers betydning for effektiviteten af den regionale støtte.
If EU regional policy funding is to keep pace with the demands of further EU enlargement, then the "individual responsibility" of Member States must be increased, EU aid must be better targeted so as to prevent waste, and more projects should be loan financed.
Især Tyrkiets optagelse vil med de nuværende kriterier for uddeling af støtten betyde, at der skal mange milliarder euro ekstra i kassen.
Institutional, financial and political reform is also necessary, as part of a review of the EU financial framework.
Yderligere udvidelser af EU vil kunne udvide EU's areal med 35 % og befolkningstallet med 27 %.
So says a report by Markus PIEPER (EPP-ED, DE), endorsed by Parliament on 24 April, with 473 votes in favour, 113 against and 104 abstentions.
Det er de tørre tal i den betænkning af Markus Pieper (PPE-DE, DE), som Parlamentet vedtog tirsdag.
The report takes EU "integration capacity" to mean inter alia that it must be able, in the light of budgetary realities, to pursue the aim of social, economic and territorial cohesion.
Betænkningen sætter fokus på konsekvenserne af de fremtidige udvidelser i forhold til samhørighedspolitikkens effektivitet.
The EU should assess whether it is capable of integrating a given candidate country at the time of accession, it says.
Rapporten ser på de sandsynlige konsekvenser i forhold til optagelse af Tyrkiet, Kroatien, Den tidligere Jugoslaviske Republik Makedonien, Montenegro og Serbien incl.
Under current rules and conditions, Turkey's accession to the EU would increase the EU-27 area by 18.3% and its population by 14.7%, but reduce its per capita GDP by 10.5%, says the report.
Og det er også spørgsmålet om konsekvenserne af et stort land som Tyrkiets optagelse, der har fået mange MEP'ere til at komme med ændringsforslag.
By contrast, Croatia's accession would increase the EU-27 area by 1.3% and its population by 0.9%, but would decrease its per capita GDP by only 0.6%.
I den endelige tekst blev spørgsmålet om Tyrkiet dog ikke så skarpt formuleret som nogle MEP'ere havde ønsket.
That of the other Western Balkan states would increase the EU-27 area by 4.8% and its population by 4%, but decrease its per capita GDP by 3.5%.
Et forslag om at gøre regionalstøtten afhængig af kandidatlandenes politiske fremskridt, som skulle præsenteres som en 'særlig form for EU-medlemskab', blev afvist.
For comparison, the EU accession of Romania and Bulgaria increased the EU-25 area eligible for EU structural funding by 9% and its population by 6%, but decreased its per capita GDP by 5%.
Parlamentet mener, at en institutionel, finansiel og politisk reform er påkrævet i forbindelse med revisionen af EU's finansielle ramme - i den forbindelse bør der foretages en sammenligning af, hvad strukturfondene betyder for de nuværende 27 lande, så det bliver muligt at træffe de rigtige budgetbeslutninger.
To enable appropriate budgetary decisions, a comparison needs to be made of the effects on EU-27 development of the key funding instruments (European Regional Development Fund, European Social Fund, Cohesion Fund, European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development)
"Vi var rige, vi fik rabat.
Go European
Medlemslandene skal tage større ansvar for EU's penge
2005 discharge - Member States' responsibility in question
Mange MEP'ere var utilfredse med, at Rådet ikke var til stede under debatten.
Another idea from the 2005 discharge exercise is to look at the cost/benefit ratio of Community spending audits, which MEPs would like to see rationalised.
Flere af dem, blandt andet ordføreren Bart Staes (Verts/ALE, BE) og det spanske medlem Javier Pomés Ruiz (PPE-DE, ES) undrede sig over, at Rådet valgte at være fraværende, når nu Parlamentet især bad om handling i forhold til medlemslandenes forvaltning af EU-budgettet.
The House granted discharge to all EU institutions and agencies for 2005 but made a number of points, including, most importantly, the fact that after 12 years, it still was not possible for the Court of Auditors to certify error-free accounts with a "positive declaration of assurance".
Mange andre stillede spørgsmålstegn ved det stigende antal EU-agenturer.
Many MEPs deplored the absence of Council during the debate which preceded the vote on the discharge.
Siim Kallas, Kommissær med ansvar for Administrative Anliggender, Revision og Bekæmpelse af Svig, sagde under debatten, at han var sikker på, at EU i fremtiden ville få en ren revisionsrapport, hvilket også var et af hans mål, da han tiltrådte i 2004.
Among others, rapporteur Bart STAES (Greens/EFA, BE)and José Javier POMÉS RUIZ (EPP-ED, ES) wondered why Council decided to sit out the debate whereas Parliament has called for action from the national governments on the shared management of EU monies".
Kallas sagde, at de positive fremskridt som nogle lande havde gjort, var et skridt i den rigtige retning.
Many others MEPs also questioned the agencies' growing number and control issues, an element which is horizontally reflected in the reports by Edit HERCZOG (PES, HU).
Medlemslandene skal afgive erklæringer
A step towards a statement of assurance
Igen i år tager Parlamentet spørgsmålet om forvaltningen i medlemslandene op ved at genfremsætte sit forslag om nationale erklæringer, hvor medlemslandene skal forsikre om, at de skal foretage effektiv kontrol af brugen af EU-penge.
They would also help to "improve the quality of national supervisory and control systems", and hence the management of the Community budget.
80 % af EU's udgifter bliver administreret i medlemsstaterne.
The report also observes that the declarations could facilitate a positive 'statement of assurance' (DAS)" being obtained from the Court of Auditors.
Parlamentet glæder sig over, at Holland allerede har indført de nationale erklæringer, mens Storbritannien og Sverige er i gang med at udvikle det.
National statements could clearly make a very useful contribution to the Community's auditing arrangements: in very large areas of Community budget management (CAP spending that is not subject to the IACS integrated administration and control system, structural funds, internal policies, external actions, SAPARD programme), the Court of Auditors has found that the effectiveness of supervisory and control systems should be improved.
Også det danske revisionsorgan vil afgive en erklæring om forvaltningen af EU-midler.
These deficiencies make it impossible to obtain a positive statement of assurance as to the reliability of the accounts, notes the report.
Ifølge Salvador Garrigas' (PPE-DE, ES) betænkning om Kommissionens regnskaber kan disse erklæringer sagtens tilpasses de enkelte medlemslande, således at nogle lande, hvor pengene forvaltes af regionerne, kan give samlede erklæringer, og Parlamentet mener, at erklæringerne vil forbedre kvaliteten af de nationale overvågnings- og kontrolsystemer, hvilket vil gøre det lettere at opnå en positiv revisionserklæring fra Revisionsretten.
The Parliament welcomes the Commission's transparency initiative and expects it to lead to practical action and legislative initiatives which in turn result in transparency in the use and management of EU funds.
Parlamentet beder Kommissionen om inden udgangen af 2007 at komme med et forslag til Rådet om nationale erklæringer, der omfatter alle de EU-midler, der bliver forvaltet i medlemslandene.
The House expects Member States to support and complement this important initiative by ensuring that they in turn are fully transparent in their use of EU funds.
Dårlig kontrol - ingen penge
Seek out errors, but not at any price
Omkostninger ved tre arbejdssteder
The report notes, moreover, with great concern, the large number of errors picked up by the Court of Auditors in operations at the level of the final beneficiary.
Mogens Camre (UEN, DK) talte som ordfører for dechargeproceduren omkring udviklingsfonde.
The effective recovery rate can also be improved, says the draft report, but only via the Member States' enforcement agencies.
Han beklagede, at Revisionsretten ikke har kunnet afgive en blank revisionserklæring.
It could be helped by revealing the identities of debtors who have been found guilty by the courts but are unwilling to make payment.
"Hvis vi skal undgå de problemer, der er omkring den korrekte forvaltning af EU's midler, er det næppe nok blot at kræve mere kontrol.
Improved recovery would also boost the European institutions' credibility.
Vi må spørge os selv, om den nuværende støttelovgivning både på landbrugsområdet og for strukturfondenes vedkommende bør laves fuldstændig om.
Likewise, the Commission should simplify the rules and apply existing legislation on suspension of payments where necessary and act when Member States fail to comply with basic requirements.
Den tidligere hollandske kommissær, Bolkestein, har for nylig påpeget, at 85 % af EU's udgifter med fordel kunne skæres væk.
This idea of publication also appears in the area of transparency.
Det er jo i realiteten meningsløst, at de 15 gamle EU-lande giver penge til hinanden, "sagde Mogens Camre.
Whereas the report welcomes the Commission's transparency initiative, it also calls on the Commission to do everything in its power to persuade Member States to grant the public a right of access to information - via a web site - on projects and the beneficiaries of various Community shared-management funds.
Dan Jørgensen (PSE, DK) anbefalede på vegne af sin gruppe, PSE, at give decharge.
Lastly, the Commission is invited to publish information on the expert groups upon which it calls in its work, including the names and fields of expertise of the groups' members.
"Vi anbefaler, at vi godkender budgetterne for 2005, men vi gør det ikke uden anmærkninger, og vi gør det ikke uden krav.
Parliament voted in favour of a proposal to grant a discharge to the Commission for 2005.
Vi har to grundlæggende krav.
Discharge for the agencies
Vi mener for det andet også, at der er behov for mere åbenhed, der er behov for mere gennemsigtighed, " sagde Dan Jørgensen.
MEPs consider that the "ever growing number" of Community agencies and their activities do not seem to fit into an overall framework.
Fakta om decharge-proceduren
Their role, in some cases, does not meet citizens' expectations.
Når Parlamentet giver decharge foregår i flere forskellige sektioner, og Budgetkontroludvalget har udarbejdet én betænkning pr. institution eller agentur.
The European Commission is therefore invited to set out general guidelines for the creation of new agencies, whilst avoiding any duplication of activity between the agencies and the institutions.
Hver betænkning består af tre dele.
Other institutions
En anden del, hvori der tages stilling til, om regnskaberne kan lukkes, og endelig en tredje del, hvor udvalget understreger de politiske prioriteter.
The House granted discharges to all the other institutions, including Parliament.

MEPs ask the Secretary-General to provide the relevant parliamentary committee with details of the costs of maintaining Parliament's three places of work in total and by location.
Kampen mod aids skal styrkes
MEPs say fresh boost needed for fight against AIDS
Ifølge UNAids under FN var der i 2006 22.000 nye tilfælde af hiv/aids i Vest- og Centraleuropa i 2006.
In 2006 the proportion reached 74 - nearly double - or 26,000 new cases a year, in addition to the 700,000 already infected.
Det står endnu værre til i nabolandene (ca. 270.000 nye tilfælde i 2006, heraf 90 % i Rusland og Ukraine).
However, the resurgence is even more spectacular in the neighbouring countries of eastern Europe and central Asia, where around 270,000 new cases were recorded in 2006 alone, of which 90% were in Russia and Ukraine.
Parlamentet mener i den forbindelse, at der skal gøres mere ud af informationskampagner, som giver befolkningen og særligt unge og teenagere klar besked om hiv-smitte, forebyggelsesmekanismer, risikoadfærd og forebyggende adfærd.
The House asks Member States to consider giving a mandate, in accordance with Articles 300 and 308 of the EC Treaty, and limited in scope and time, to the Commission on behalf of the EU to negotiate with the pharmaceuticals industry an agreement aiming at lower prices for ARV drugs in the European Union.
Der skal også gøres mere ud af at målrette kampagnerne til de særlig udsatte grupper, særligt indvandrere, der kommer fra lande, hvor mange er smittet, samt mennesker der arbejder i sex-branchen.
It argues that palliative care should be expanded, along with social integration programmes for people infected with the virus, and that sex education should be available to all citizens.
