Et grønnere Parlament
Aiming for a greener European Parliament
Parlamentets daglige aktiviteter er spredt over 23 bygninger i Bruxelles, Strasbourg og Luxembourg.
A special geothermic heater used in the Parliament's building in Strasbourg.
Ikke desto mindre, har man ved hjælp af grøn tænkning og teknologiske innovationer bidraget til at reducere Parlamentets samlede energiforbrug.
To do this an Eco-Management and Audit scheme (EMAS) has been put in place to try and cut emissions.
MEP'erne rejser hver måned til og fra Strasbourg og er herudover ofte på delegationsrejser rundt omkring i verden.
Added to the problem is that the Parliament also has to travel - with Plenary sessions in Strasbourg and Committee meetings in Brussels.
Europa-Parlamentets Præsidium besluttede sidste år at fremlægge en strategisk plan, som sigter mod at nedbringe Parlamentets "carbon footprint" med 30 % inden 2020.
The introduction of a train service last year to replace the previous charter flights has been one step in reducing the carbon footprint.
De to nye bygninger ´Willy Brandt´og ´József Antall´ er i høj bygget på økologisk teknologi.
In addition to this new buildings in Brussels have been packed with eco-technologies to reduce their impact.
Den kommende udvidelse af KAD-bygningen i Luxembourg ventes at blive en af de mest miljøvenlige konstruktioner i Verden.
A planned new office building in Luxembourg will use geothermic energy, solar and photovoltaic panels to generate electricity, bio fuels as well as fuel cells.
90 % af samtlige pc'er har fladskærme med et lavt energiforbrug
In terms of political work less travel by employees and more use of video conferencing have been two ways that the carbon footprint is being addressed.
Promovering af offentlige transportmidler
Green week highlights issues
Flere videokonferencer (for at spare på energien i forbindelse med rejser)ç
Nevertheless, there is a realistic understanding that more steps need to be taken so substantial carbon cuts can be made.
Under mottoet "handling og tilpasning" vil Den Grønne Uge, der er den største årlige konference om europæisk miljøpolitik, fokusere på de talrige udfordringer, der er forbundet med at skulle reducere udledningen af drivhusgasser.
From today a series of events will be held in the European Parliament in Brussels less as part of the annual "Green week" (24 June - 15 July) aimed at raising awareness of eco-issues and promoting change.
Grøn Uge vil ligeledes fokusere på tilpasningen til de klima­ændringer, der allerede har fundet sted.
These include ways of measuring how much electricity different appliances likes lights and household appliance use.
Det forventes, at omkring 3.500 personer fra hele verden vil deltage i den tre dage lange begivenhed.
There will also be an exhibition on climate change in the Arctic.

To MEP´ers første arbejdsdag
Freshman MEPs Michalis Tremopoulos and Edvard Kožušník in Brussels
Ingen af dem har tidligere arbejdet i Parlamentet, så der venter masser af udfordringer forude...
A stream of newly-elected MEPs have been arriving at the European Parliament in recent days to begin their life as new Members in earnest.
Edvard Kožušník
Thirty-eight year old Edvard Kožušník knows Brussels well as his previous job for the Czech Senate brought him regularly here.
Jeg kan godt lide den gamle historiske del af Bruxelles.
I see a well-organised system, many people who know what they are doing.
Men jeg var her kort tid før valget, hvor Europa-Parlamentet lignede en spøgelsesby.
I am waiting of course to go into the essence of things, because what interests me is the political views and the possibilities there are for somebody to be useful to his country and to Europe and the world.
Jeg har lovet at mine vælgere, at jeg vil komme til det første plenarmøde på cykel - fra Tjekkiet (ca. 770km).
This way I had the opportunity to get a foretaste of what I will do next.
Hvad vil du særligt prioritere?
What picture will you hang first in your new office?
Mindre bureaukrati og mindre regulering.
I will hang some photos of old Thessaloniki.
En, som har en vision samt en evne til at samle folk omkring sig, således at alle er villige til at arbejde sammen om at virkeliggøre visionen.
The way things are today, I would say integrity and an ability to support policies that promote the interests of the majority and the interests of the planet.
Din første tale i Parlamentet: nervøs eller ophidset?
First speech in the Chamber - nervous, excited...?
Jeg vil bestemt ikke være opstemt.
It was many years ago that I overcame a fear of speaking in front of people.
Jeg vil være nervøs!
How will you make a mark here?
Dine helte i verdenshistorien?
Your heroes in world history?
MEP'erne rejser meget.
Let's save a little from the tomorrow that they are stealing from us.
Er det noget, som du er vant til?
Are you used to travelling a lot?
Det har jeg ingen problemer med.
No, but it seems that I will be doing that a lot here!
Desuden er jeg ansvarlig for det tjekkisk-spanske handelskammer.
I would like to be able to move by bicycle, to Greece but also to Strasbourg.
Jeg er meget god til spansk og engelsk, og kan desuden kommunikere med mine tyske og bulgarske kolleger.
Greek and English.
Jeg elsker at spille strandtennis med min familie.
I am interested in research and local history.
Jeg har en god orienteringssans, men som enhver mand, er jeg ude af stand til at gøre to ting på én gang.
Are you afraid to get lost in the building?
Hvad er dit første indtryk af Parlamentet?
It is not a matter of direction.
Det, som interesserer mig, er de politiske synspunkter og de politiske muligheder.
But I have been here shortly before the elections when the European Parliament was closed and it looked like a ghost town.
Muligheden for at være til nytte for sit land, for Europa og for Verden.
It is an open question whether having two Parliament buildings is a waste.
Jeg har også været her ved andre legeligheder.
I was head of office for the Chairman of the Czech Senate and thus I was coming here quite often, especially during the Czech presidency.
Først studerede jeg jura, og senere blev jeg journalist og researcher.
During the last years I worked for the Czech Senate.
Hvad vil du særligt prioritere?
Into which areas would you like to put most efforts?
Miljø, ernæring, forebyggende sundhed, livskvalitet og regional udvikling.
Reducing bureaucracy and regulation.
Jeg vi nok hænge et par billeder op af den gamle bydel i Thessaloniki.
Certainly a picture of my wife and my children.
Integritet samt evnen til at støtte politikker, der fremmer flertallets interesser og politikker, som er til gavn for planeten.
To have a vision and the will to organise people around oneself, so that they would work together to make that vision a reality.
Det er mange år siden, at jeg har overvundet min angst for at stå foran et publikum
I certainly will not be excited and I certainly will be nervous .
Che Guevara... og Epaminondas Charilaos...
But most likely I will be remembered as the guy who came to Strasbourg by bike.
Er det noget, som du er vant til?
Your favourite motto?
Nej, men det lader til, at jeg vil komme til!
"The world is neither black, nor white.
Jeg vil helst cykle til Grækenland og Strasbourg.
Moreover, I am in charge of the Czech-Spanish chamber of commerce.
Græsk og engelsk.
Spanish and English very well, I can communicate with my German and Bulgarian colleagues.
Jeg er interesseret i forskning og lokalhistorie.
I love to play beach tennis with my family.
Det håber jeg.
I don´t know.
Jeg er efterhånden i stand til at finde rundt.
Are you afraid to get lost in the building?
Så snart vil jeg få styr på det hele.
I have a good sense of orientation, but like any man, I am unable to do two things at a time.
De første sprækker i muren...
On this day: 27 June - the Iron Curtain was breached
Den 27. juni 1989: Østrigs udenrigsminister ( Alois Mock) og Ungarns udenrigsminister (Gyula Horn ) klipper et stykke af jerntæppet over Berlinmuren symboliserede i mere end 40 år den fysiske og ideologiske grænse mellem Øst og Vest.
27 June 1989: The Foreign ministers of Austria, Alois Mock (L) and Hungary, Gyula Horn (R) cut through the barbed wire that separated the two countries, creating the first breach in the Iron Curtain. ©Belga/EPA/R.Jaegar The first breach of the Iron Curtain which divided Communist Central and Eastern Europe from the West for over decades took place 20 years ago today.
Det er næsten ikke til at fatte, at det blot er 20 år siden, at muren faldt.
He told us that he first crossed over the border when he was 20 years old.
Vi talte med tre MEP´er, der hver især husker de dramatiske dage i 1989, hvor hundredvis af østtyskere krydsede grænsen mellem Ungarn og Østrig.
He told us that "those who breached the border at Sopronpuszta 20 years ago accomplished one of the most outstanding historic events of the 20th century.
Østrigske Christa Prets (PSE) har været medlem af Europa-Parlamentet i ti år.
The Pan-European picnic (a peace demonstration) reminds us of the fact that the power of freedom knows no borders".
Hun var fra 1987 til 1999 borgmester i den østrigske delstat Burgenland, der grænser op til Ungarn.
Mr Szájer also spoke of the need for people from the west to remember what the division of Europe was like: "I handed over a piece of the Iron Curtain to EP President Hans-Gert Pöttering and Commission President José Manuel Barroso.
Hun fortæller, at det var fascinerende at opleve begivenhederne i 1989 på tæt hold.
I gave it to European politicians whose countries have been living in freedom for a longer time than ours so as to remind them every day that even the most oppressive regimes can be overthrown."
"Det var samme oplevelse, som i 1956, da ungarerne kom hertil med ønsket om frihed.
"It was like in 1956"
Det var et historisk øjeblik for hele regionen.
Outgoing Austrian MEP Christa Prets was someone who remembers those events well.
Vi har specielt i grænseområdet haft mange fordele ved åbningen af grænsen."
From 1987 to 1999, she was Mayor and Councillor in Burgenland, the Austrian State that borders Hungary.
Han beskriver østtyskernes flugt fra DDR gennem Ungarn, som en "fantastisk historisk begivenhed".
It was a historical moment for the whole region."
"Jeg har for nylig overrakt et stykke af Jerntæppet (pigtrådshegnet) til Europa-Parlamentets formand, Hans-Gert Pöttering og Kommissionens formand, José Manuel Barroso", fortæller Szájer.
"We especially in the border region had many advantages from the opening of the border.
Han understreger vigtigheden af, at man fra politisk side erkender, at selv de mest undertrykkende regimer kan væltes.
Today, if you need some documents related to the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, then you need to go to the archive of Sopron, that was the biggest city in Burgenland at a time, a thing which you could not do before without waiting for hours at the Iron Curtain" she said.
Hun fik ikke lov til at bestå sin studentereksamen på grund af hendes kristne tro og sociale baggrund.
Growing up in East Germany she was not allowed to take her school "Abitur" exam due to her social background and her Christian denomination.
For det første fordi ingen af os havde troet, at vi ville komme til at opleve jerntæppet forsvinde.
Firstly because none of us had imagined that we would see the iron curtain disappear in our life times.
For det andet fordi vi frygtede, at et endnu større antal af vores venner, kolleger og familie nu ville efterlade os og søge mod "det gyldne Vesten"...
And secondly because we had to fear that now an even greater number of our friends, family members and colleagues would leave for the Golden West."
Åbningen af grænsen var et vigtigt skridt på vejen mod et frit demokrati og et forenet Tyskland.
In the end, cutting the border fence was an important step on the path towards a free democracy and a united Germany.
Derfor er der behov for at takke den daværende ungarske regering for dens mod."
Therefore one needs to thank the Hungarian government of the time for its courage."

Sveriges europaminister ser frem til EU-formandskabet
Into the EU Presidency maelstrom: Sweden's Europe Minister Cecilia Malmström
Det svenske EU-formandskab starter den 1. juli 2009 Den 1. juli overtager Sverige EU-formandskabet.
Europarl Today: Stockholm looks to Copenhagen as Sweden takes over the presidency As Sweden takes up the EU Presidency this week we spoke to European Affairs Minister Cecilia Malmström.
Bekæmpelsen af Europas galoperende arbejdsløshed og udfordringen med at få en ny global klimaaftale i hus er blandt det svenske formandskabs absolutte topprioriteter.
As unemployment in Europe rises and the economic crisis gets deeper the Swedes will have to coordinate the EU's response.
Vi talte med den svenske europaminister Cecilia Malmström om de kommende seks måneders politiske udfordringer.
Added to this will be the need to find an international environmental agreement that replaces the Kyoto protocol before the December deadline.
"Samtidig står vi over for den største udfordring i vor tid, nemlig at afværge klimatruslen.
She went on to say that "at the same time we face the biggest challenge of our time - to avert the climate threat.
Det er et spørgsmål, som påvirker og vil komme til at påvirke os alle.
These are issues that affect and will affect all of us.
Sjældent har behovet for et velfungerende europæisk samarbejde været vigtigere end nu."
Here we see that need for functioning European cooperation has seldom been more important".
"Det svenske formandskab ønsker at fortsætte arbejdet med at bekæmpe den økonomiske krises negative påvirkning af vækst og beskæftigelse, samtidig med, at vi fortsætter med at skubbe klimadagsordenen fremad.
She said that "the Swedish presidency therefore hopes to be able to keep up the work to combat the negative influences of the economic crisis on growth and employment; at the same time we want the EU to continue pushing the climate agenda forward.
Malmström fortæller, at hun nyder sit nuværende job, selvom hun godt kan savne de mange gode venner og tidligere kolleger i Europa-Parlamentet samt følelsen af at befinde sig i centrum af europæisk politik.
She says she enjoys her current role but "of course I miss many of my friends and colleagues in the European Parliament, as well as the feeling one has as an MEP of always being in the centre of European debates".
"På mange måder handler mit nuværende arbejde om de samme emner, men fra en lidt anden vinkel.
Speaking about the difference between being an MEP and a Minister Ms Malmström says "in many ways my work now is about the same questions, but from slightly different angles.
Som MEP har du - udover det lovgivningsmæssige arbejde - en vigtig rolle som opinionsdanner.
As an MEP you have, together with the legislative work, an important role as opinion maker.
Dette er vanskeligere for en minister"
It is more difficult to have this role as a minister".
Svenskere er blevet mere positive over for EU-samarbejdet
Are Swedes warming to the EU?
Sverige oplevede (ligesom Danmark) den højeste valgdeltagelse nogensinde i forbindelse med EU-parlamentsvalget.
Sweden, which joined the European Union in 1995, has long been known as a reluctant member of the Union.
45,53 % af svenskerne gik til stemmeurnerne mod 37,85 % for fem år siden.
However, at the last European elections voter turnout jumped 8% from 37.8% in 2004 to 45, 5%.
"Meningsmålingerne viser, at flere og flere svenskere har fået et bedre forhold til EU.
We asked the Minister whether this signified a changing of attitudes to the Union: "Opinion polls show that more and more Swedes feel at ease with the EU and the Swedish membership" she said.
Den svenske statsminister præsenterer formandskabets prioriteter den 15. juli
On 15 July the Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt (Moderate Party) will present the Presidency priorities to the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
Den svenske statsminister Fredrik Reinfeldt har tidligere sagt, at det svenske EU-formandskab vil finde sted under "meget særlige omstændigheder".
Speaking in Brussels-seminar earlier this month he said: "our Presidency will take place under very special circumstances.
Den 15. juli præsenterer den svenske statsminister EU-formandskabets prioriteter for Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg.
Every six months, a different EU Member State assumes the so-called Presidency of the EU, meaning that it chairs the meetings of the Council of the European Union and is responsible for moving important EU issues forward.

To MEP´ers første arbejdsdag
A Baltic breeze in Brussels - new MEPs Kristiina Ojuland and Timo Soini
Begge ønsker at sætte fokus på nordeuropæiske problemstillinger, såsom den nordlige dimension og Østersøstrategien.
They are hoping to use their new position as a platform to raise issues about northern Europe and the countries that surround the Baltic Sea.
Er det første gang, at du er i Bruxelles, eller kender du allerede det hele?
Is it your first time in Brussels – or are you already like a fish in water?
Jeg kender Strasbourg, hvor jeg har arbejdet `on and off´ siden 1992.
Perhaps not so much in Brussels but more in Strasbourg where I have worked since 1992 on and off.
Jeg kender slet ikke Bruxelles, men jeg er hurtig til at tillære mig nye ting.
I don't know Brussels at all but I learn quickly.
Ser du det at blive MEP som et springbræt for eller som en kulmination på din karriere?
Is becoming a MEP for you a springboard or a culmination of your career?
Det er et stadie i mit liv, som jeg har masser af forventninger til.
I guess it is a stage in my life and I have lots of expectations about it.
Jeg har været i europæisk politik i mange år, men jeg har aldrig arbejdet som MEP før.
I have been in European politics for many years but I do not have the experience of being an MEP.
Jeg håber at kunne drage fordel af denne oplevelse.
I hope to profit from this experience.
Hvordan tror du, at arbejdet som MEP adskiller sig fra arbejdet som national parlamentariker?
How do you think the work of an MEP differs from that of an MP?
Der er ikke den store forskel - du repræsenterer visse borgere og deres politiske synspunkter.
There is no big difference - you represent certain citizens and political views.
Jeg vil ikke "gå tabt i korridorerne" og gå på pension om 5 år - jeg ønsker at være aktiv både her og i Estland.
I am not going to get lost in the corridors here and retire in 5 years - I want to be active here and in Estonia.
Hvorfor besluttede du at gå ind i politik?
What drove you to enter politics?
Jeg gik ind politik i 1992 i forbindelse med de første frie valg (i Estland) Her besluttede jeg mig for at støtte det mest innovative politiske parti.
I entered politics in 1992 with the first free elections to support the most innovative political party.
Jeg har også arbejdet som diplomat... men mit liv har udviklet sig, og det er jeg meget glad for.
I entered as a young diplomat because that was what I wanted to be but life made its corrections and I am very happy about it.
Hvad kunne du tænke dig at arbejde med her?
In which areas would you like to put most of your efforts?
Jeg håber at blive medlem af udenrigs- og forsvarsudvalgene.
I hope to become a member of foreign affairs and defence and security committees.
Dine foretrukne egenskaber ved en politiker?
Your favourite qualities in a politician?
Du skal tro på hvad du gør.
You must believe in what you do.
Der skal være en vis passion, og du skal arbejde hårdt.
There must be some passion and you must work hard.
Hvordan vil du gøre en forskel?
How would you make a mark here?
Der er 736 medlemmer, og det er svært at blive kendt.
There are 736 members and it is difficult to become known.
Mit mål de næste fem år er at sikre, at folk ved, at jeg repræsenterer Estland.
My aim in 5 years is that people know I am representing Estonia.
Nogle baltiske/nordiske spørgsmål, som du ønsker at fokusere på?
Which Baltic/Nordic issues are you going to push?
Jeg vil gerne beskæftige mig med Østersøstrategien og fremme samarbejdet på uddannelsesområdet.
I would like the Baltic Sea Strategy to promote more cooperation in education.
Vores studerende kunne undervises i det samme uddannelsesmæssige miljø.
Our students could learn in the same educational environment.
I fremtiden kunne det ekspanderes til resten af EU.
In the future it could expand into the whole EU.
Hvem er dine helte?
Who are your heroes?
Margaret Thatcher.
Margaret Thatcher.
Hendes største succes var, at hun bragte Storbritannien ud af en dyb økonomisk krise via liberal økonomisk politik.
Her biggest service to the Great Britain was bringing the country out of a deep economic crisis using liberal economic policies.
Dit foretrukne motto?
Your favourite motto?
Jeg forsøger at holde benene på jorden.
Difficult to say, I have no idea.
Estisk, engelsk, russisk og fransk.
After Estonian I speak English, Russian and French.
Er det første gang, at du er i Bruxelles, eller kender du allerede det hele?
First time in Brussels – or are you already like a fish in water?
Måske er det tiende gang, at jeg er her, men jeg kender ikke byen.
Maybe for the tenth time, but I don't know the city.
Jeg er på vej, men dette er et nødvendigt stop på vejen til at blive en endnu bedre politiker i Finland.
I'm still on my journey, but this is a necessary waypoint to become an even better politician in Finland.
Jeg tror grundlæggende ikke, at det afviger så meget.
I think the basis doesn't differ that much.
Selvom jeg formoder, at jeg ikke vil blive eksponeret så meget i medierne hernede.
Though I assume I will have less and not constant publicity.
Udvalgsarbejdet er nok mere eller mindre det samme.
Work in Committees is probably quite similar.
Jeg vil næppe komme til at tale så meget her, som i det finske parlament.
And I will hardly get to talk here as much as in the Finnish parliament.
Det er ikke noget, som jeg synes om, men det er en kendsgerning.
I don't think that is good, but it is a fact.
Hvad kunne du tænke dig at arbejde med?
What drove you to enter politics?
Hvis jeg får uddannelses- og kulturudvalgene, er der en række ting, som jeg agter at forfølge.
If I get on the Education and Culture Committee, there are things I intend to drive forward.
Jeg vil beskæftige mig med andre ting end i mit hjemland.
I am going to do something different than in my home country.
Hvad er for dig en god politiker?
Your favourite qualities in a politician?
En, som taler sine vælgeres sag.
To push for the cause of the people that elected you.
En, som ved hvad han/hun gør, og som er i stand til at forklaresine vælgere og politiske rivaler, hvad han/hun mener.
To know what you do and to be able to explain, in plain language, to voters and political rivals, what you mean, and what you think.
Hvis det lykkes, er du en god politiker.
If you succeed in this, you're a good politician.
Hvordan ønsker du at blive husket?
How would you like to be remembered?
Som en god, fair og ærlig person.
As a good, fair and honest jack.
Nogle baltiske/nordiske spørgsmål, som du ønsker at fokusere på?
Are you going to drive some Baltic/Nordic issues?
