MEP'ere ønsker færre bifangster og udsmidning af fisk
It says both the Commission and Member States need to improve their implementation of energy-efficiency legislation.
I en betænkning, som Europa-Parlamentet vedtog torsdag med 616 stemmer for og 22 imod, mener MEP'erne, at det bør forbydes at smide lovlige fisk ud.
MEPs urge the Commission to establish timetables for the withdrawal from the market of all the least energy-efficient items of equipment, appliances and other energy-using products, such as patio heaters.
Hvert år bliver tusindvis af tons fisk smidt over bord på fiskefartøjerne i EU.
Improving police cooperation among EU countries in crisis situations
Alene i Nordsøen skønnes det, at mellem 500.000 og 880.000 tons fisk bliver smidt ud om året.
The report was adopted with 558 votes in favour, 56 against and 10 abstentions.

Parliament adopted a report (616 votes in favour to 22 against, with amendments) reacting to the Commission communication "A policy to reduce unwanted by-catches and eliminate discards in European fisheries".
MEP'erne ønsker mere fokus på området, blandt andet ved at gøre en Kommissær særligt ansvarlig for udviklingen af en strategi.
According to MEPs, the most sensible way to proceed is by choosing a number of pilot fisheries, based upon the quantity of discards produced or on the conservation status of the species involved.
På uddannelsesområdet ønsker MEP'erne, at lovgivningen mod raceadskillelse skal styrkes, så romaerne bliver integreret i skolerne.

MEP'ere: Iran skal være mere åben om atomprogram
European Parliament "calls on Iran to restore the transparency of its nuclear programme"
I et beslutningsforslag, som Parlamentet vedtog med 561 stemmer for, 52 imod og 44 hverken/eller beklager MEP'erne, at Iran stadig ikke har opfyldt sine internationale forpligtelser til at stoppe berigelsen af uran.
In a resolution adopted in plenary, MEPs regret that Iran "has still not complied with its international obligations to suspend all enrichment-related and reprocessing activities."
Parlamentet udtrykker også stor bekymring over en række menneskerettighedsspørgsmål.
The House also expresses its deep concern about a whole range of human rights issues in the country.
I beslutningen glæder MEP'erne sig over, at der på et møde mellem FN's sikkerhedsråds faste medlemmer i Berlin den 22. januar 2008 var blevet enighed om et udkast til en ny FN resolution om Iran, og over, at det internationale samfund står sammen.
MEPs welcome "the agreement reached [...] in Berlin on 22 January 2008 on a new draft resolution on Iran which foresees further measures and the fact that the international community maintains a common approach to the issue."
MEP'erne opfordrer den amerikanske regering og andre berørte aktører til at stoppe med at udtale sig om militær indgriben mod Iran og ændring af styret i Iran, og opfordrer USA til, sammen med EU, at tage direkte del i forhandlingerne med Iran.
They call on "the US Administration and all other actors involved to renounce all rhetoric on military options and regime change policies against Iran," and call on the US to "participate directly in negotiations with Iran along with the EU."
Parlamentet fordømte særligt henrettelsen af den politiske aktivist Zamal Bawi, som blev henrettet få timer før dagens afstemning.
The House in particular "protests vehemently the execution of Zamal Bawi," who was executed just a few hours before the vote.
Fra debatten onsdag:
Debate: Wednesday, 30 January 2008
Solana: Svært at se Iran som en konstruktiv partner
MEPs debate the situation in Iran with Javier Solana
Atomprogrammet er et af de spørgsmål, som giver anledning til mest bekymring.
The House also expressed its deep concern about a whole range of human rights issues in the country.
"Hvis de udvikler atomvåben, vil det være meget skadeligt og skabe ustabilitet i Mellemøsten," sagde Solana, og tilføjede, at det ville være til skade for ikke-spredningsaftalen.
The need for cautious engagement with Iran was the keynote of the opening speech by CFSP High Representative Javier SOLANA, who told the House that Iran was "one of the most important issues on the international community's agenda today" as well as "a key country in the Middle East.
I forhold til spørgsmålet om, hvorfor Iran har behov for at berige uran, savner Solana stadig klare svar fra de iranske myndigheder.
Since 2004 Iran has been unwilling to participate in the human rights dialogue with the EU.
Da Iran officielt ikke har noget våbenprogram, og deres civile atomkraft får leveret uran udefra, er der tilsyneladende ikke nogen grund til, at landet skal berige uran.
Energy, drug trafficking and counter-terrorism were areas on which the EU would like to cooperate with Iran but it was difficult to see the country as a constructive partner.
"Dette er uacceptabelt, og er kun til skade for Irans forsøg på at blive set som et demokratisk land."
He added "our objective is to remove suspicions, which can only be achieved through a negotiated solution".
I forhold til demokrati udtrykte Solana desuden bekymringer om de kommende parlamentsvalg, hvor 30 % de opstillede kandidater er blevet diskvalificeret.
Iran must approve the additional protocol to the non-proliferation treaty.
Han mente dog, at selv et demokrati, som ikke er perfekt, er bedre end intet demokrati, og var glad for, at Parlamentet ville sende en delegation til Iran for at mødes med medlemmer af det iranske parlament.
On the question of uranium enrichment, when the Iranians are asked about their intentions, why they needed enriched uranium "the question is never answered", said the High Representative.
Han sluttede af med at sige, at der i øjeblikket bliver arbejdet på en resolution i FN's sikkerhedsråd omkring Iran.
He added "None of us have a problem with an Iranian civil programme, in fact, we are offering to help" but "we need to ensure that their intentions are purely peaceful".
Mangel på politisk vilje fra Iran
The aim of a new UN Security Council resolution was "not to punish Iran but to bring it to the negotiating table".
For EU-kommissæren for udenrigsanliggender Benita FERRERO-WALDNER var Irans atomprogram ikke til at komme udenom.
In conclusion, he said that he had tried for years to normalise relations with Iran and would continue to do so because this would "benefit the people of the EU and of Iran".
På trods af EU's indsats har der ikke været vist tilstrækkelig politisk vilje fra iransk side.
The EU, she said was showing it was willing to improve relations, but the political will was absent on the Iranian side.
"Uden en systematisk forbedring af menneskerettighederne vil forbindelserne til Iran ikke kunne genoptages på fornuftig vis," sagde hun.
"Without systematic improvement on human rights situation our relations with Iran cannot develop properly," she concluded.
Vi fik ingen klare svar
Political group speakers
Michael GAHLER (PPE-DE, DE), som talte på vegne af PPE-gruppen tog fat på spørgsmålet om atomvåben og menneskerettigheder i sin tale.
Michael GAHLER (DE) for the EPP-ED group, referred both to the nuclear issue and to human rights.
Han understregede Parlamentets klare modstand mod henrettelser og tortur, og nævnte en række dødsdømte iranske aktivister og opfordrede til, at de ikke blev henrettet.
He stressed the EP's longstanding firm stance against executions and torture, and named a number of Iranian activists facing death sentences, calling for executions not to be carried out.
Han kaldte de svar, som 24 kollegaer fik på kritiske spørgsmål, for utilfredsstillende.
This did nothing to overcome the lack of confidence on this issue."
Demokrati giver kun mening med frie valg
He said such non-answers would only lead to greater resolution by the international community.
Hannes SWOBODA (PSE, AT) fokuserede også sit indlæg på menneskerettigheder, atomprogrammet og frie demokratiske valg i Iran.
For the Socialist group, Hannes SWOBODA (AT), agreed that human rights, nuclear weapons and free elections were the key issues.
Swoboda tog afstand fra de grusomme henrettelser, og understregede, at hans gruppe ikke ønsker atomvåben i Iran.
"I agree with the High Representative that we do not want nuclear weapons there or anywhere else in the region."
Han kaldte det en 'skandale', at USA havde vendt det blinde øje til Pakistans udvikling af atomvåben, hvilket havde ført til, at teknologien var blevet lækket til andre lande.
He said it was scandalous that the United States had turned a blind eye to Pakistan's nuclear weapons, which had led to the technology leaking to other countries.
"Vi har behov for mere kontrol med uranberigelser, og det skal være en kontrol, der er styret multilateralt," sagde han.
"We need to ensure the controls on enrichment and production are multilateralised," he said.
Glem ikke den civile befolkning
Free elections were needed across the whole region.
Annemie NEYTS-UYTTEBROECK (ALDE, BE) mente, at der var tale om et tragisk paradoks, når det land, som Solana beskriver som så rigt og dynamisk rent kulturelt, har en stigning i antallet af dødsdomme.
Speaking for the ALDE group, Annemie NEYTS-UYTTEBROECK (BE) said that the debate with Iranian chief nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili did not achieve good results.
Hun understregede, at det er vigtigt at fortsætte samarbejdet med den civile befolkning.
Ms Neyts stressed their was cross-party support on stopping Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and conducting nuclear research that would lead to Iran obtaining nuclear weapons.
"Mødet med Jalili var ikke en glædelig opvisning, men det var vigtigt, fordi han opdagede, at alle grupper var enige om, at Iran ikke skulle have atomvåben," sagde hun og foreslog desuden en 'multinational bank for nukleart grundstof,' som ville være en måde, hvormed det internationale samfund kunne få mere kontrol.
However, development of nuclear power for civil use, she said, should be put under international control.
Sanktioner ikke en løsning
On the basis of the National intelligence estimate, one could not be sure that the country is not pursuing them.
Angelika BEER (Verts/ALE, DE) sagde, at det var vigtigt at sikre, at dagens debat ville blive fulgt i Iran.
"We need to continue putting pressure on Iran, and not rule out military intervention," he said.
"Det store antal kandidater til valget viser, at der er interesse for demokratiet," sagde hun.
"What we need now is a moratorium on the nuclear issue", said Tobias PFLÜGER (GUE/NGL, DE).
Beer advarede mod at indføre sanktioner, som først og fremmest vil svække civilsamfundet.
He continued that "I am against making the sanctions worse because that would be counter productive."
Mod krigstrusler
He also opposes a war in Iran: "There is still a threat of war hanging over Iran, my group is clearly against any threat of war or planning of war."
Tobias PFLÜGER (GUE/NGL, DE) mente, at der var behov for et moratorium i forhold til atom-spørgsmålet.
It should be clear that today's debate "will be heard in Iran because it is a wide awake plural society eager to get hold of information," said Angelika BEER (Greens/EFA, DE).
Bastiaan BELDER (IND/DEM, NL) sagde, at der var godt nyt og dårligt nyt fra Iran.
Bastiaan BELDER (IND/DEM, NL) said there was good news and bad news from Iran.
Den gode nyhed var, at oppositionen ikke bakkede op om Ahmadinejads udtalelser om Holocaust.
The good news is that "Iran's opposition is not behind Ahmadinejad's statements on the Holocaust."
Den dårlige nyhed var, at Iran havde sagt, at det ville få alvorlige konsekvenser, hvis resolutionen fra FN's sikkerhedsråd bliver vedtaget.
The bad news is that Iran has said it would have serious consequences if the UN Security Council Resolution is passed.
Belder understregede, at det derfor var vigtigt at styrke FN's atomagentur IAEA.
Mr Belder underlined that "we should be bolstering the role of the IAEA."

Slut med postmonopoler fra 2011
Gaza : MEPs paint a picture of despair
Kærestebreve og postkort vil senest fra 2011 kunne leveres af andre end Post Danmark.
Many MEPs on Wednesday (30 January) deplored the dire straits that drove Gazans to breach the wall around the Gaza strip, after an Israeli blockade lasting several weeks.
Europa-Parlamentet har netop afsluttet behandlingen af det direktiv, der skal sikre liberalisering af posttjenester for breve under 50 g fra 1. januar 2011.
The EU's alignment with US policy in the region was criticized by several MEPs in a plenary debate with EU foreign policy High Representative Javier Solana and external relations Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner.
Parlamentet har i sin behandling af de nye regler lagt vægt på, at posten skal ud til alle afkroge af EU og mindst fem gange om ugen - uanset hvem der står for uddelingen.
"I believe that we face a very difficult situation, because in the Middle East, everything is linked.
Medlemmerne af Parlamentet havde allerede i førstebehandlingen i juli 2007 sat deres kraftige fingeraftryk på de nye regler for posttjenester ved at vedtage en række ændringer.
If we cannot progress towards a solution to the current problem in Gaza, then the peace process will be placed in difficulty" said Javier Solana.
Posten skal ud til alle Parlamentet understregede, at liberaliseringen skal ske under visse betingelser.
It was "despair" that drove the Gazans to breach the wall, said José Ignacio Salafranca (EPP-ED, ES).
F.eks. skal der tages hensyn til "befordringspligten," så alle medborgere skal have leveret post - også i de tyndt befolkede områder - til en overkommelig pris.
"Whereas, two years ago, we celebrating the holding of free elections in Palestine, we now see the Palestinian cause fragmenting", he said, on behalf of his group.
Breve skal fortsat blive leveret og indsamlet mindst en gang om dagen, fem dage om ugen for alle EU-borgere, både på fastlandet og på øerne.
Mr Salafranca also criticized Israel for taking advantage of this division "to continue settlements and impose a blockade".
Hvis det ikke kan lade sig gøre for virksomheder at levere disse ydelser på markedsvilkår, kan medlemslandene oprette kompensationsfonde, som er finansieret af virksomhederne og/eller af brugerne for at dække de udgifter, der kan være forbundet med kravet om at skulle levere post overalt.
He stressed the necessity of "backing the High Representative's efforts, supporting the Naples conference line through the Quartet and moderate Arab countries, and, above all, (…) and focusing Europe's action on preventing pointless human suffering (…), which has gone on too long in the Middle East".
De virksomheder, som skal sikre befordringspligten, kan også blive støttet af staten.
"Eventually, every wall falls: the wall of Jericho, that of the Warsaw ghetto, the Berlin wall, the Atlantic wall, or the wall of indifference.
For at sikre, at det kan løbe rundt, kan medlemslandene selv bestemme, hvilken finansieringsmetode de vil bruge.
The question is no longer who will open the doors of this open-air prison, but who will dare close them, who will dare return the Gazans to their slow asphyxia.
Parlamentet mente, at nye medlemslande og lande med en særlig vanskelig topografi, f.eks. lande med mange øer og små lande bør have en overgangsperiode på yderligere to år, indtil 2013, for at give dem mere tid til at sikre, at der er dækning overalt i landet.
"As a member of Parliament’s delegation to the Palestinian Legislative Council, I have been trying to work out why, when we call for an end to settlement building, the Israelis ignore us and we do nothing.
Dette kommer til at gælde for de lande som blev medlemmer i 2004, samt Grækenland og Luxembourg.
Why, when we call for the removal of the checkpoints, the Israelis ignore us and we do nothing.
For at undgå konkurrenceforvridning indtil alle markeder er helt åbne for konkurrence, insisterede Parlamentet på, at lande, som åbner deres markeder fuldt ud, skal kunne nægte virksomheder, der har monopol i et andet medlemsland, adgang til deres markeder.
Why, when we call to an end to the collective punishment of people in Gaza, the Israelis ignore us and we do nothing", said Chris Davies (ALDE, UK), who then went on to reveal that the reason why, supplied at the previous day's delegation meeting by EU Special Representative to the Middle East Marc Otte, was that "our policy - Europe's policy - is to follow the leadership given by America".
I 1997 blev det første postdirektiv vedtaget (97/67/EF), og det er det direktiv, som nu er ved at blive ændret.
So be quiet, and leave policy making to others, who have grasped the situation better!'".
