Torsdag under EP-samlingen
Thursday in Plenary: Overseas Development Assistance, Human rights
Hvordan EU-støtte kan hjælpe afrikanske kvinder blev diskuteret torsdag MEP´erne debatterede torsdag morgen EU´s udviklingshjælp til tredjelande.
How EU aid can help women in the developing world was discussed MEPs debated the European Union's overseas development assistance, specifically the experience of the countries that joined after 2004, on the final day of the Plenary.
Den første betænkning fokuserede på de nye medlemsstaters udviklingsstøtte, mens den anden kiggede nærmere på kvinders vilkår i udviklingslandene.
Later, they discussed women in developing countries and how aid could help them.
Torsdag eftermiddag var dedikeret til den traditionelle debat om menneskerettigheder.
In the afternoon the traditional human rights debates focused on Armenia and Russia.
Målsætningen for de nye medlemsstater er at bruge minimum 0,17% af GNI på udviklingshjælp i 2010 og 0,33% i 2015.
The objective is that they donate 0.17 % of GNI to official development assistance (ODA) by 2010 - rising to 0.33% by 2015 Ms Budreikaitė said.
Betænkningen analyserer den nuværende situation med hensyn til relevante institutioner, tematiske programmer og prioriterede lande samt finansielle bidrag fra de nye EU-lande.
“In 2004 and 2007, the 12 new States became donors through the development policy but had no experience in the field...new Member States have limited financial and human resources: they should focus their attention where they have experience.”
Budreikaite anbefaler i betænkningen, at de nye medlemslande målretter deres udviklingsinvesteringer indenfor de områder, hvor de har den fornødne erfaring.
She added that they had “a great experience of dealing with their eastern neighbours”.
Udviklingsstøtte til kvinder En anden betænkning så nærmere på kvinders vilkår i udviklingslandene.
European aid Commissioner Louis Michel noted that as the EU is the world’s biggest donor, it has “duty to set an example”.
Ordfører, Feleknas Uca (GUE/NGL, Tyskland), sagde at mindst 40 % af afrikanske kvinder ikke følger undervisning i folkeskolen.
Women in developing countries German MEP Feleknas Uca's (GUE/NGL) report on women in developing countries calls for measures to promote women's rights in areas such as responsible governance, employment, education, health and violence against women.
Samtidig udføres 75 % af landbrugsarbejdet af kvinder.
Ms Uca said that more than 40% of women in Africa don't go to primary school, while 75% of agricultural work is done by women.
Over to tredjedele af alle analfabeter i verden kvinder, og i udviklingslandene er det for piger 11 % mindre sandsynligt end for drenge, at de når frem til en videregående uddannelse.
She said tackling "traditional" forms of violence should be one of the main priorities while unlimited access to reproductive health is fundamental for gender equality.
Hun opfordrede de armenske myndigheder til, at der gennemføres en uafhængig undersøgelse af begivenhederne den 1. marts, og hvad der førte til dem.
She called for an inquiry about the events during demonstrations of political opponents (where 8 people died) and the release of prisoners.
MEP´erne fordømte det russiske politis overdrevne brug af vold mod demonstranter efter det russiske præsidentvalg, der blev afholdt den 2. marts.
MEPs condemned the use of force by the police against demonstrators protesting in Russia after the presidential elections on 2 March.
Bernd Posselt (EPP-ED, Tyskland) sagde, at Dimitri Medvedev "er nødt til at lægge Putins system bag sig" og "starte på en frisk".
Bernd Posselt (EPP-ED, DE) said Dimitri Medvedev “has to move away from the Putin system” to “start with a clean slate”.
Perwiz Kambakhsh, der er journalist i Afghanistan, er blevet dømt til døden for at have cirkuleret en artikel om kvinders rettigheder indenfor islam.
Ms.Alexandra Dobolyi (PSE, HU) called for a pragmatic approach: "Russia is a strategic partner that we need for example to tackle global challenges”.
MEP´erne opfordrede til hans øjeblikkelige løsladelse og gentog deres principielle modstand mod anvendelsen af dødsstraf.
Afghan jouirnalist Perwiz Kambakhsh, is facing prison for circulating an article on women's rights in Islam: MEPs called for his release and reasserted their opposition to the death penalty.
Afstemninger Parlamentet vedtog en betænkning, der anbefaler, at man forbedrer situationen for fængslede kvinder i Europa.
They also spoke about the case of Mehdi Kazemi, a 19-year-old gay Iranian citizen, who faces deportation from Europe back to Iran, where he could be tortured and even executed.
MEP´erne bakkede endvidere op om en betænkning, der efterspørger et større EU-engagement i Irak med bedre kontrol af EU´s støttemidler.
Raül Romeva i Rueda said “The president of Iran said that there was no problem in Iran with homosexuals because there are no homosexuals.
Det var essensen af en høringsbetænkning, der blev vedtaget torsdag.
Votes on Thursday MEPs adopted a report on women in prison, calling for youngsters below 18 not to be in the same prisons as older people.
Baggrunden for forslaget er at undgå 'brændstofturisme' på grund af forskelle i medlemsstaternes afgiftstakster.
They backed a report calling for Europe to become more actively engaged in assistance to Iraq and improve the transparency of its aid to the country.
Fængsler bør indrettes bedre til kvinder EU bør optrappe hjælpen til Irak Dieselturisme skal modvirkes EU development policy and the new Member States (på engelsk) Empowering women: the key to development (på engelsk) Info om menneskerettigheder (på engelsk)
Finally, a report saying minimum taxes for diesel should rise to equal petrol tax minimums was also adopted EU development policy and the new Member States Empowering women: the key to development Human rights: Armenia, Russia, Afghan journalist and Iranian homosexual Taking account of the special needs of women in prisons Support democratic governance in Iraq, and increase EU presence on the ground, say MEPs Minimum taxes for diesel should rise to equal petrol tax minimums

Debat om situationen i Gaza
MEPs debate the situation in Gaza and in Israel
"Vi må endnu engang overveje, hvad vi kan gøre, og hvordan vi kan reagere på denne voldsspiral, vi ser i Mellemøsten," sagde Pöttering og understregede, at det eneste svar på konflikten var at gå videre med fredsbestræbelserne.
On behalf of the EP, President Pöttering voiced "dismay and indignation" at the daily TV images from the region, referring both to the "disproportionate military force" deployed against Palestinians and the "murderous attack" on a Jerusalem school.
"Medfølelse er en dyd, men det er ikke nok.
The European Parliament intends to play a role, using "an even-handed approach".
Det skal følges op af politisk handling," sagde han, og fordømte på vegne af Parlamentet de voldshandlinger, som Hamas og andre ekstremistiske palæstinensere har stået bag.
"Hamas must change its ways and work with moderate Palestinians towards peace", he said, and reiterated the EP's support for Palestinian president Abbas and prime minister Fayyad.
"Modstand i denne form er terrorisme og må ophøre," mente Pöttering.
In Paris, "the international community pledged to support this with resources".
"Som budgetmyndighed skal vi være opmærksomme på, at vores støtte ikke bliver givet ud blindt, og derfor kan EU ikke godkende, at vores investeringer bliver ødelagt i militære aktioner," sagde han.
He believed the international community "should not judge the parties" but to lead them back to reason and the negotiating table.
Kommentarer fra grupperne
He also drew three conclusions from a recent visit by the EPP to the Middle East.
"Det mislykkes hver gang, fordi de radikale kredse på begge sider bruger konflikten til at legitimere deres egen eksistens.
Above all, "the radicals need this conflict to legitimise their existence, and this has been the case for decades".
De skal have at vide, at de ikke kan nå deres mål gennem vold," sagde Schultz.
It is up to Europe to tell them they cannot achieve their goals this way.
Graham WATSON (ALDE, UK) understregede, at der i Gaza først og fremmest var tale om en humanitær katastrofe, hvor 1,5 mio. mennesker er spærret inde, og kaldte situationen for den "værste siden området blev besat i 1967".
The situation in Gaza is a humanitarian disaster which "no amount of condemnation will solve", stressed Graham WATSON (ALDE, UK).
"EU kan bebrejdes, at vi blindt følger amerikanerne i deres strategi," sagde han og nævnte, at det mest synlige resultat på dette er, at den infrastruktur, som EU-midler har betalt, bliver ødelagt konstant.
Gaza is "besieged", and the trapping of 1.5 million people there, without power, water or sewage treatment, "has made matters worse than at any point since 1967", he continued, adding that he believed that a further 11,000 Palestinians are being held in Israeli jails.
"Hvis der nogensinde har været behov for fælles udenrigs - og sikkerheds politik, er det nu, " sagde han.
"As a democracy, Israel has a duty to be more just than its disposable power implies" stressed Mr Watson, urging all parties to look again urgently at the issues and to find a way to live together.
Brian CROWLEY (UEN, IRL) henledte opmærksomheden på de uskyldige mennesker, der hver dag bliver dræbt i konflikten: "Der er behov for dialog og forståelse, og behov for respekt for ALLE menneskeliv.
"The reality is that every day, innocent lives are lost, families lose members, and the forces of moderation are driven further apart" said Brian CROWLEY (UEN, IE).
Kun på den måde kan man samle folk, "sagde han og understregede, at en to-stats-politik er nødt til at bestå af to bæredygtige stater, som efterfølgende vil kunne være i dialog med hinanden.
The cynicism of Israel's attempt to "starve people into submission" is matched by that of the brutal killing of 8 people in a school, he continued, urging that every species of terrorism - "official, state, or state or state-sponsored" need to be fought with respect for all human life.
