Buzek mindes ofrene for Anden Verdenskrig
Buzek honours victims on WW II anniversary
Jerzy Buzek deltog sammen med en lang række politiske ledere i en mindeceremoni til ære for ofrene for Anden Verdenskrig Der blev den 1. september arrangeret en international mindedag til ære for ofrene for Anden Verdenskrig.
EP President Jerzy Buzek (centre) joins Polish and European leaders to mark the outbreak of WW II.
Ceremonien, der markerede 70-året for udbruddet af krigen, fandt sted på Westerplatte-halvøen i Gdansk.
Gdansk, Poland, 1 September A day of remembrance took place in Poland yesterday (1 September) to mark 70 years since the outbreak of World War II.
Europa-Parlamentets nyvalgte formand Jerzy Buzek deltog i ceremonien, der talte en lang række stats- og regeringschefer.
An international ceremony was held at Westerplatte in Gdansk to mark the place where a German battleship opened fire on Polish fort, opening the conflict.
Buzek, der selv er polak, lagde i sin tale vægt på den betydning, som det tyske angreb på Polen fik for historiens gang: "Angrebet på Polen, der fandt sted den 1. september 1939, markerede begyndelsen på et mareridt, som kom til at opsluge Europa og resten af verden.
Speaking at the ceremony, Parliament's President Jerzy Buzek, himself a Pole, said "the attack on Poland which took place on 1 September 1939 marked the beginning of the nightmare which engulfed Europe and the world".
Vores historiske minder skal ikke gemmes væk på et støvet museum... lad dem i stedet tjene som en advarsel til alle (politiske) ledere og kommende generationer."
He went on to state in the strongest terms: "Our memories of history cannot be filed away in some dusty museum...Let the suffering that has been endured and the graveyards scattered across the globe serve as a shared community of memory for us and stand as a warning to all leaders and to future generations."
Forfølgelserne stoppede ikke i 1945
Persecutions of nations "did not end" in 1945
Parlamentsformanden gjorde en stor pointe ud af at understrege, at mens krigens afslutning betød frihed og demokrati for vesteuropæerne, var det modsatte tilfældet for østeuropæerne: "den store forfølgelse af europæiske nationer sluttede ikke her.
Describing the different fates of Western and Eastern Europe in 1945 when the latter fell behind the Iron Curtain he said that "the great persecutions of the nations of Europe did not end here.
Kun halvdelen af kontinentet kunne ånde frit."
Only one half of the continent could breathe freely".
Han afsluttede med at takke de mennesker, som kæmpede for friheden i Europa: "Jeg hylder alle dem, der kæmpede for frihed.
Finishing his speech he said "I salute those who fought for freedom.
Dem vil vi europæere altid huske!
We Europeans will remember.
Vi vil opbygge et Europa, der er jeres offer værdigt."
We will build a Europe worthy of your sacrifice".
Forskellige opfattelser af baggrunden for udbruddet af Anden Verdenskrig
Many Poles see a Nazi-Soviet part signed a week before the Germany invasion as effectively the starting gun to the invasion of Poland.
Optakten til ceremonien har været præget af et anstrengt forhold mellem Polen og Rusland, og de to landes syn på hvilke begivenheder, der ledte frem til Anden Verdenskrig.
The pact carved up the Baltic States and Poland between Hitler and Stalin's armies.
De fleste polakker ser stadig Molotov-Ribbentrop-Pagten mellem Tyskland og Sovjetunionen som startskuddet til invasionen af Polen og dermed udbruddet af Anden Verdenskrig.
Two weeks after the Germany invasion of Poland the Soviet army invaded Poland from the east.
Mindedag om ofrene for totalitære regimer
However, in Central and Eastern Europe the end of Nazism meant the arrival of the Red Army and satellite Communist regimes for half a century.
Heri fastslås det blandt andet, at "Europa kun kan forenes, hvis det er i stand til at nå frem til et fælles syn på sin historie, anerkender nazismen, stalinismen og fascistiske og kommunistiske regimer som en fælles arv og gennemfører en ærlig og tilbundsgående debat om alle disse forbrydelser."
In particular the resolution states: "Europe will not be united unless it is able to form a common view of its history, recognises Nazism, Stalinism and fascist and Communist regimes as a common legacy and brings about an honest and thorough debate on their crimes in the past century".

However, for both the Russian leadership and many ordinary Russians, any attempt to draw parallels between Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia is deeply resented.

Sharon Bowles om den finansielle krise
Interview with Sharon Bowles - Head of the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee
Sharon Bowles er formand for Udvalget om Økonomiske og Monetære Anliggender De seneste økonomiske nøgletal viser positive tegn fra nogle af Europas største økonomier.
British Liberal Democrat MEP Sharon Bowles: "Regulation should be sensible" Current economic indicators seem to show a cautious recovery in some of the biggest European economies, such as Germany and France.
Vi bad den nyvalgte formand for Udvalget om Økonomiske og Monetære Anliggender, britiske Sharon Bowles (ALDE), komme med sin vurdering af den økonomiske situation.
We asked the new chairwoman of the Committee for Economic and Monetary Affairs, British Liberal Democrat MEP Sharon Bowles, about her perception of where the crisis is going and to what extent financial markets should be regulated.
Er de værste følgevirkninger af den finansielle krise overstået?
Do you think the worst of the financial crisis is over?
Jeg er optimist og tror på, at det værste er overstået, men der er stadig detaljer, som vi endnu ikke kender effekten af.
SB: I am an optimist and I think the worst is over, but there are still some things that we do not know the details about and some that are continuing to trickle out.
Men de økonomiske indikatorer peger i den rigtige retning...
So the indicators we see are pointing in the right direction?
Ja, det tror jeg, at de gør.
SB: Yes, I think they are.
Jeg er dog bekymret for, at vi har problemer med at finde den rette balance med hensyn til reguleringen.
I am worried we have problems in terms of how to balance up the regulation that we are doing.
Reguleringen bør være fornuftig, og den må ikke give anledning til efterskælv, hvilket kan ske, hvis den er for omfattende eller kommer for tidligt.
Regulation should be sensible and should not itself cause aftershocks by being too much or by coming too soon.
Det er blevet diskuteret meget, hvordan man kan øge bankernes kapitalbeholdning, hvilke foranstaltninger der skal tages i brug i forbindelse med implementeringen af EU-direktivet Solvens II samt i hvor i hvor høj grad de nye regler kommer til at påvirke kapitalkravene.
A lot has been discussed how to increase the capital for banks, issues surrounding the implementation measures for the EU Directive "Solvency II", and how much the new rules are going to push capital requirements.
I hvor grad mener du, at de finansielle markeder er i stand til selv at regulere sig selv?
Do you think the financial markets are able to self regulate?
Jeg tror, at der er behov for en blanding af selvregulering, selvdisciplin og offentlig regulering.
SB: I think you need a mixture of self regulation or self discipline and also official regulation.
Det ville dog være forkert at antyde, at vi kan regulere risikoen væk.
It is to deceive the public to say that if we can regulate, there is no risk.
Det ville være at vildlede befolkningen... før eller senere vil der komme endnu en krise.
One thing is certain, that sooner or later there will be another crisis.
Vi håber blot, at vi da ved hjælp af de rette reguleringsværktøjer vil være i stand til at stoppe krisen på et tidligt tidspunkt.
We just hope that through regulation, when we see things might develop into a crisis, then will have the necessary tools and be able to stop the crisis at an early stage.
Hvordan vil du beskrive EU´s håndtering af den finansielle krise - hvilke tiltag har været de mest effektive?
How would you assess the handling of the financial crisis by the EU?
Alt i alt må den betegnes som rimelig...
SB: On balance it is reasonable.
Det er meget vigtigt at handle i fællesskab.
It is very important to do things collectively, together, to manage to coordinate - it is better for the economy.
Jeg mener også, at Den Europæiske Centralbank spillede en meget vigtig rolle.
I also think that the European Central Bank played a very good role.
Den erkendte allerede på et tidligt tidspunkt, at der var tale om en meget alvorlig krise
It was certainly at an early stage that it recognised the fact that this was going to be a very severe crisis.

Nyt udspil skal øge gasforsyningssikkerheden i EU
Gas security debate returns to European Parliament
I flere EU-lande blev skoler lukket, lønninger reduceret og hospitaler efterladt med et minimum af varme.

Kommissionen vedtog for nylig en ny forordning, som har til formål at øge forsyningssikkerheden i Europa.
January 9, 2009.
Onsdag den 2. september præsenterede energikommissær Andris Piebalgs udspillet for Europa-Parlamentets Udvalg om Industri, Forskning og Energi.
Belga/AFP/D.Dilkoff The security of Europe's gas was the subject of a debate in Parliament's Industry, Research and Energy Committee on Wednesday 2 September.
EU importerer i dag over halvdelen sin energi fra udlandet.
Amid concerns of a repeat of the shortages of gas supplies this winter if Russia and Ukraine have yet another dispute, the Commission has put forward plans to improve the security of Europe's gas supply.
42 % af den importerede gas kommer fra Rusland, hvoraf omkring 80 % passerer gennem Ukraine.
The European Union depends heavily on outside countries for its gas needs, with Russia being the foremost supplier.
Særligt de østeuropæiske medlemslande er stærkt afhængige af den russiske gas.
In total 15 countries are totally dependent on foreign gas and 60% of the overall gas used in the EU is imported.
Kommissionen præsenterede den 16. juli en ny forordning, som har til formål at øge forsyningssikkerheden på det indre gasmarked.
If Russian imports account for 42% of the total, for some Eastern European member states this dependency can be over 70%.
Forordningen skal blandt andet sikre, at alle EU-medlemslande træffer effektive forebyggende foranstaltninger til at afbøde konsekvenserne af potentielle afbrydelser i gasforsyningen.
Now the Commission wants European action to anticipate possible disruptions and to be able to respond promptly when they occur, improving transparency and solidarity between EU countries.
Den omfatter også en mekanisme for et intensiveret interstatsligt samarbejde i forbindelse med større afbrydelser i gasforsyningen.
The Commissioner for Energy, Andris Piebalgs, told MEPs that the new regulation would oblige each EU member to be fully prepared in case of gas disruption, both for prevention and in case of emergency.
Energikommissær Andris Piebalgs understregede over for industriudvalgets medlemmer, at den ny forordning kræver, at EU-landene forpligtiges til at "opstille klare og effektive beredskabsplaner", som inddrager alle berørte parter.
It would set up a common standard defining the risk of disruption for each country, and then national authorities should ensure the infrastructure to respond to a possible crisis, setting up preventive as well as emergency plans.
Forordningen forpligter desuden EU-landene til at arbejde tæt sammen i tilfælde af større forsyningskriser og til at hjælpe de mest sårbare medlemslande.
The draft legislation would oblige countries to collaborate closely in a crisis, sharing national supplies to help the most vulnerable countries, also when the disruption is caused by third countries like last year.
Er vi klar til endnu en vinter?
"Are we prepared for another winter?'
Flere MEP'er gav under mødet udtryk for deres frygt for en ny alvorlig gasforsyningskrise: "Letland afhænger 100 % af russisk gas.
MEPs expressed their worries for a new possible crisis: Latvian EPP Member Krišjānis Kariņš warned the hearing that "Latvia depends 100% on Russian gas, are we prepared for another winter?" he asked.
Er vi overhovedet klar til endnu en vinter?", spurgte den lettiske MEP Arturs Krišjānis Kariņš (PPE).
Mr Piebalgs answered that "we're prepared to face a crisis, but it is better to avoid it".
Nogle MEP´er udtrykte bekymring for at gasledningsprojekterne South Stream og Nord Stream stod i vejen for udviklingen af en fælles europæisk energipolitik.
Finally, several MEPs raised the concern that alternative projects to Nabucco, the EU funded gas pipeline, could jeopardize European efforts to have a common policy.
Svenske Lena Ek (ALDE) mente desuden, at Nord Stream projektet udgjorde en stor fare for miljøet.
"The Nord stream project raises environmental and security concerns" warned Swedish Liberal MEP Lena Ek.
Europa-Parlamentet vil den 16. september drøfte fremtidsperspektiverne for gasledningen Nabucco i forbindelse med plenarmødet i Strasbourg.
The debate on gas pipelines and the state of play of the Nabucco pipeline project will be on the agenda of the Plenary session which opens on 16 September.

Der var stor medieopmærksomhed omkring høringerne af de indstillede kommissærer De tre indstillede kommissærer (ovenfra og ned): Algidras Šemeta, Karel De Gucht og Pawel Samecki Den 1. og 2. september fik medlemmer af Europa-Parlamentet mulighed for at udspørge tre indstillede kommissærer om deres personlige og faglige forudsætninger.
The meeting room filled up quick with press as MEPs questioned the potential future Commissioners The three commissioners during the hearing at the EP: Algirdas Šemeta (Financial Programming and Budget), Karel De Gucht (Development and Humanitarian Aid) and Pawel Samecki (Regional Policy) On 1 and 2 September, the three candidates entering the European Commission for the final months of its mandate to replace Members who left early were in Parliament to set out their stalls to MEPs.
Det drejede sig om litauiske Algidras Šemeta, belgiske Karel De Gucht og polske Pawel Samecki.
The procedure allows MEPs to assess their suitability for their new jobs.
MEP´erne ventes at godkende de indstillede kommissærer onsdag den 16. september i Strasbourg.
On 16 September in a Session in Strasbourg Members will vote to approve, or not, their appointment.
Algidras Šemeta: finansiel programmering og budget
Lithuania's Algirdas Šemeta: Financial Programming and Budget
"Forhandlinger er aldrig lette, når der er penge involveret", sagde litauiske Algidras Šemeta, da han tirsdag gæstede Parlamentets budgetudvalg.
"Negotiations are never easy when money is involved" said Mr Šemeta, former Lithuanian minister of finances, during his presentation to the Budgets Committee of the European Parliament.
Han mente, at EU i lyset af den finansielle krise fremover skal bestræbe sig på at blive bedre til at handle hurtigt og effektivt i forhold til økonomiske udfordringer.
In light of the current global economic crisis, he reinforced the need for immediate responses.
"Denne krise giver os nye muligheder, men den giver os samtidig mere ansvar", vurderede han.
"There is no time to lose", he said, as this crisis "brings us opportunities and responsibilities towards future generations".
Šemeta understregede, at økonomien stadig er "den største bekymring for de europæiske borgere", og at europæerne "mere end nogensinde før" har behov for økonomisk stabilitet.
The Commissioner-designate to replace Dalia Grybauskaitė, who was elected President of Lithuania, underlined that "the economy is still the biggest concern for European citizens" and "Europe needs a clear sign of economic stability".
Han fremhævede behovet for økonomisk vækst, jobskabelse og energisikkerhed, som nogle centrale udfordringer for Kommissionen.
His top priorities included economic growth, job creation, EU energy security, responses to climate change and the EU's global role.
Karel De Gucht: udvikling og humanitær bistand
Belgium's Karel De Gucht: Development and Humanitarian Aid
Også De Gucht pegede på den finansielle krise, som Kommissionens altoverskyggende udfordring.
Designate to replace Louis Michel, now an MEP, Karel De Gucht gives the economic crisis top priority.
Du kan nedenfor læse Pressetjenestens dækning af høringen med Karel De Gucht.
My position on this is clear: I am convinced that by helping our partner countries cope with the crisis we are also acting in our own interests", said Mr De Gucht, in reply to questions by Irish MEP Gay Mitchell and Dutch Socialist Thijs Berman.
Pawel Samecki: regionalpolitik
Poland's Pawel Samecki: Regional Policy
Det tidligere medlem af bestyrelsen for den polske nationalbank Pawel Samecki blev udpeget til posten som kommissær med ansvar for regionalpolitik, efter at Danuta Hübner forlod posten for at blive medlem af Europa-Parlamentet.
Former member of the management board of the National Bank of Poland, Pawel Samecki was designated to replace Danuta Hübner, who was elected MEP.
Samecki indledte med at rose EU´s samhørighedspolitik, som han så som et meget vigtigt symbol på den økonomiske solidaritet i Europa.
"Cohesion policy means solidarity, one of the basic values of Europe, and was, from the very beginning, meant to make sure that economic integration is for everybody", he said.
Han pegede på vigtigheden af at nedbringe fejlprocenterne i forbindelse med implementeringen regionale programmer.
For Mr Samecki, key problems in regional policy include error rates in spending programmes, the need for better ex-post evaluations and impact assessment, as well as the need to cut red tape and simplify administration, to be "faster and more efficient in the implementation of funds".
Han fremhævede i den sammenhæng behovet for mere tilbundsgående evalueringer og konsekvensanalyser samt nødvendigheden af yderligere at afbureaukratisere og forenkle administrationen af de regionale programmer.
"Rules and procedures should be the minimum to meet the objectives of the policy" he added, "though simplification does not mean laxity".
"Regler og procedurer må ikke stå i vejen for opfyldelsen af de politiske mål... men forenkling må dog heller ikke være ensbetydende med slaphed", sagde Samecki.
He also agreed with MEPs Helga Trüpel, (Greens/EFA) and Reimer Böge, (EPP) on the need to simplify budget implementation and the rules governing the structural funds, and promised new proposals, such as introducing "one-stop-shops".
Du kan nedenfor læse Pressetjenestens dækning af høringen med Pawel Samecki.
Committee chair French MEP Alain Lamassoure reminded Mr Šemeta of his role, representing an institution independent of both the Council and Parliament and hoped that, as a newcomer, he could help the EU to do away with anomalies such as budget lines that are never used and cannot be afforded in times of financial crisis.
Næste skridt
Autumn hearings
MEP´erne ventes at godkende de indstillede kommissærer onsdag den 16. september i Strasbourg.
Before it can assume office, the European Parliament must first approve the nomination of its President, and thereafter hold full-scale hearings of members of his proposed team to decide whether to approve the new Commission as a whole.
Herefter vil de formelt kunne påbegynde deres arbejde som kommissærer.
This process, a key component in the European Parliament's armoury of supervisory powers, will be fully reported on this website.
Europa-Parlamentet vil i løbet af efteråret afholde en lang række høringer af indstillede kommissærer med henblik på at godkende den nye Kommission.
