For at styrke kampen mod børnearbejde uden for EU ønsker MEP'erne at indføre en mekanisme, der skal gøre det muligt for de børn, der udsættes for børnearbejde, at få erstatning fra de europæiske virksomheder ved de nationale domstole i medlemslandene.
Enforce ban on child labour Among other points, MEPs advocate a mechanism to enable the prosecution, in Europe, of suppliers of products that have been manufactured with child labour.
Asylbørn skal beskyttes
Early warning system on child abductions and prosecution of sex criminals The House recommends setting up a European early warning system on child abductions and supports the Commission's plan to introduce a telephone help-line for children.
MEP'erne ønsker, at det i forhold til børn af flygtninge og asylansøgere skal sikres, at børnene kan nyde godt af deres rettigheder, uanset forældrenes retlige status.
It also urges the creation of a European strategy, and a single EU-wide set of extraterritorial criminal laws, to counter child sex tourism.
Det gælder blandt andet retten til undervisning, som er en af rettighederne i FN's børnekonvention.
Community instrument on adoption Pointing out that every child has the right to a family, MEPs suggest establishing a Community instrument to facilitate adoption.
Et forslag om at forbyde tørklæder og hijab i skolerne blev forkastet.
Lastly, the EU is urged to sign up to the UN and Council of Europe conventions on the rights of the child.
Ydmyg slovensk EU-formand: Det kunne vi ikke have drømt om for 20 år siden
Slovenia takes over EU presidency: prime minister addresses European Parliament
Som den første fra de nye medlemslande kunne den slovenske premierminister onsdag præsentere sit formandskabs program for medlemmerne af Europa-Parlamentet.
Janez Janša, Prime Minister of Slovenia and President of the EU Council, set out the policy priorities of his country's presidency in an address on Wednesday to MEPs.
Ratificeringen af Lissabontraktaten bliver den altoverskyggende prioritet, sammen med klimaændringer, Kosovo og en ny styrket rolle for EU i verden, for et formandskab fra et lille land, der går til opgaven med stor ydmyghed.
As Parliament's President Hans-Gert Pöttering pointed out, this was the first time that one of the central European countries who had joined the EU in 2004 was holding the presidency.
Janez JANŠA, den slovenske premierminister lagde ud med at fortælle om en personlig oplevelse for 20 år siden, hvor han som journalist blev fængslet, fordi han havde kritiseret det kommunistiske regime i Jugoslavien.
Now he stood before European Parliament as Prime Minister of Slovenia and President of the European Council.
"Uden den grundlæggende ret til at forsvare os, uden ret til en advokat, blev vi forhørt i hemmelighed på et fremmed sprog," sagde han og berettede om, hvordan folk var gået på gaden i protest.
"If anyone had predicted such a possibility twenty years ago in my prison cell, I would not have believed one word of it", he said.
"20 år efter står jeg her foran jer i Europa-Parlamentet, i Strasbourg, en by, som jeg kan komme til uden at stoppe ved grænserne.
Turning to the priorities of his country's presidency over the coming six months, he highlighted the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty , saying "We hope that by the end of the Slovenian Presidency, the majority of the Member States will have followed in Hungary's footsteps.
Som premierminister for Slovenien og som formand for det Europæiske Råd kan jeg tale til jer på mit modersmål.
The Slovenian Parliament will decide on ratification before the end of this month.
Hvis nogen havde fortalt mig det for 20 år siden, da jeg sad i min fængselscelle, ville jeg ikke have troet et ord af det," sagde han.
The goal is to have the Lisbon Treaty enter into force on 1 January 2009".
Han understregede, at ophævelsen af grænsekontrollen i december måned havde haft stor betydning og vakt store følelser hos slovenerne.
Mr Janša then highlighted economic reform and emphasised the next three-year cycle of implementation of the Lisbon Strategy.
"I min generation er EU ikke noget, man tager for givet.
We must, he said, "continue in the same direction as we have so far, putting the investment in people, modernisation of labour markets, an increase of entrepreneurial potential, provision of affordable and reliable supplies of energy, and environmental protection at the top of the list".
Vi ved, at der er andre alternativer, der er meget værre.
"We must ensure that there will be no obstacles to the flow of ideas and knowledge", said the prime minister.
Vi er derfor klar til at gøre hvad som helst for at sikre, at Unionen bliver bevaret, udviklet og styrket," sagde han.
"At the spring European Council, we therefore wish to add a fifth freedom ­– the free flow of knowledge – to the four existing freedoms of the EU".
Traktat skal træde i kraft i 2009
In addition, progress was needed on the internal market in services and innovations.
"Vores mål er, at traktaten skal træde i kraft 1. januar 2009," sagde Janez Jansa.
He also promised "to bring about progress in liberalisation of the internal energy market".
Det er den opgave, der står øverst på formandskabets liste over prioriteter.
On external policy , the presidency would continue accession negotiations with Croatia and Turkey.
Af andre prioriteter, som Janez Jansa kom ind på, var arbejdet med at sikre sund økonomisk vækst gennem Lissabonstrategien, energi- og klimapolitikken og ikke mindst situationen på Vestbalkan, hvor især spørgsmålet om Kosovo er aktuelt.
Mr Janša then emphasised the importance of the Western Balkans, starting with Kosovo.
"Kosovo er en europæisk sag.
He said "the current status quo is unsustainable" and "the Kosovo issue demands a special solution".
Kosovo er ikke isoleret i EU, og vi skylder regionen at nå frem til en god løsning.
He promised that "the Presidency will be coordinating solutions enjoying the broadest support within the EU and at the same time guaranteeing long-term stability in the region".
Fred og stabilitet kan kun opnås ved at give landene et europæisk perspektiv," sagde Jansa.
Serbia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina all needed assistance or special attention.
En ydmyg formand
In the case of Bosnia, he said, "We should not forget the refugees who have not yet returned home, or the serious crimes that have as yet gone unpunished".
"Vi kommer måske til at begå fejl.
Concluding, the prime minister said "It is our greatest wish to contribute to the increase in the number of satisfied Europeans.
Vi kommer måske til at udtrykke os for direkte, eller for naivt.
We wish that some day any person walking the EU streets will be able to answer without hesitation if asked whether he or she cares for the future of the EU: 'I care for Europe because I know that Europe cares for me'. "
I forhold til de europæiske borgere håbede den slovenske premierminister at kunne skabe en bedre stemning omkring EU.
He stated that this enforces his 'full belief that [the 2004] enlargement is indeed one of the greatest achievements of the EU.'
"Vores bidrag skulle gerne betyde, at europæerne blive mere tilfredse måned for måned.
The President then addressed three of the primary issues of importance for the EU during the months ahead - the Lisbon Treaty, the Energy and Climate Change Package and the Renewed Lisbon Strategy.
Hvis man spørger en europæer på gaden, hvad han eller hun mener om EU's fremtid, er det vores ønske, at svaret for alle i fremtiden vil være: "Europa betyder noget for mig, fordi jeg ved at Europa gør noget for mig," sluttede Janez Jansa.
The President referred to the Lisbon Treaty as a 'credible and balanced Treaty' which 'leaves the Union in good shape to ensure that we can deliver on our political priorities.'
For 20 år siden blev folk dræbt for at krydse grænsen
He called on all EU Member States to ratify the Treaty.
Formanden for Europa-Kommissionen Josè Manuel BAROSO indledte sin tale med at udtrykke sin fulde støtte det slovenske formandskab.
Speaking about the energy and climate change packages, the President pointed out that this was a response to the call for precise and legally binding targets.
Han understregede vigtigheden af Sloveniens nyvundne uafhængighed: "For 20 år siden blev folk dræbt, når de forsøgte at krydse grænsen til Italien.
The President went on to say that the package would demonstrate 'our willingness to put our money where our mouth is' and that it would be 'a win-win situation.'
Kommissionsformanden pegede på ratificeringen af den nye traktat, implementering af Lissabon-strategien og energi- og klimapolitik som de vigtigste prioriteringer for 2008.
The President concluded by stating that with all three priorities above achieved, 'we will have in 2009 a more confident and better prepared Europe to face the future. […] a strong Europe, an open Europe, a Europe of freedom, solidarity and security.'
Slovenien er en succeshistorie
Political group speakers
Joseph DAUL (PPE-DE, FR) lagde ud med at kalde Slovenien en "succeshistorie".
"Your country works", and is in the "vanguard of making people feel they belong to Europe", said EPP-ED chairman Joseph DAUL (EPP-ED, FR) with feeling, as he pledged his group's support for the Presidency.
"Det vi har nået på 50 år, har I nået på 10 år, " sagde Daul, og understregede, at overgangen fra kommunisme til markedsøkonomi er sket, uden at landet er faldet fra hinanden.
Since 2004, Slovenia has recorded "success after success", achieving in 10 years "what we could not do in 50", pursued Mr Daul, citing Slovenia's rapid transition to a strong market economy and relatively low unemployment, which had enabled it to adopt the Euro already, and its joining the Schengen group in 2007.
"Det slovenske formandskab viser, at de lande, der er kommet med i EU i 2004, kender Europa indefra nu og har lært, hvordan unionen gebærder sig udadtil," sagde formanden for den kristendemokratiske gruppe.
Slovenia, the first new Member State to hold the Presidency, is also likely to be in the vanguard of countries ratifying the Lisbon Reform Treaty, introducing growth and competitiveness measures, and promoting intercultural dialogue, he predicted.
"Lissabontraktaten er en af de største prioriteter for Unionen lige nu, og det er vigtigt at sikre, at traktaten kan træde i kraft inden valget i 2009," sagde han, og lagde også vægt på Lissabonstrategien og behovet for social vækst.
The EPP-ED group will support the Presidency's efforts inter alia to have the Treaty of Lisbon ratified quickly, so as to get Europe working before the 2009 European elections, enable it to prosper whilst protecting the environment, harness knowledge and innovation to enable it to compete worldwide, meet energy efficiency targets, support stability and co-operation in the Balkans, and foster multicultural and multi-faith dialogue, concluded Mr Daul, wishing the Presidency good luck.
"Slovenien har i historien bygget bro mellem øst og vest, og det er der brug for i denne sammenhæng", sagde Joseph DAUL.
"We're already talking politics" noted Mr Schulz, approving the knowledge and expertise revealed in the Council President's statement.
Han understregede den symbolske betydning af, at et af de nye medlemslande nu for første gang indtager EU-formandskabet.
Mr Schulz welcomed the Presidency's view that EU institutions are strong enough to organize neighbourhood policy, despite possible rifts in the Council, and praised the demonstration of confidence in the free movement of people demonstrated by Slovenia's joining the Schengen area.
"Et sådant formandskab udgør muligheden for, at man i Europa indser, at det virkelig er muligt at tage kampen op... at demokratiet altid vinder".
He asked the Presidency to "check up" on claims that the transfer of Nokia's facility from Bochum to Romania was being "financed with EU money".
Herudover fokuserede Schulz på Schengen-udvidelsens positive aspekter, og de muligheder det udgør for alle Europa borgere for at kunne rejse frit på det europæiske kontinent.
Mr Schulz concluded by noting that the EU was still far from the vision of first Commission President Walter Hallstein, whom, he said, had advocated Turkish membership.
I forhold til Sloveniens størrelse lagde Watson vægt på, at det ofte er "de små David'er, der har de bedste formandskaber - ikke de store Goliath'er".
Your programme speaks of the importance of internal dynamism and that Mr Schulz is the way to create jobs and to maintain jobs in this continent.
Han håbede på, at der ville komme mere gang i det indre marked, særligt i forhold til energi, telekommunikation og sundhedstjenester.
Progress in the Western Balkans is rightly one of your priorities and your experience and understanding of the area will be a bonus to our Union.
"Vi skal gøre noget for patienternes rettigheder.
Nor am I sure it is a good way to motivate the people of Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Vi må ikke vige af vejen, bare fordi det er kontroversielt," sagde Watson.
If it is designed to appease Serbia, it will not work.
Kandidatlandene skal føle sig velkomne
But in the meantime as you say in Slovenia, ‘pray for a good harvest, but keep on hoeing’.
"Den slovenske regering overtager formandskabet på et meget vigtigt tidspunkt", indledte CROWLEY (UEN, IE) sin tale.
Brian CROWLEY (UEN, IE) speaking in Irish said that Slovenia was taking on the presidency of the EU at a "challenging time".
Det godt være, at Deres land er lille, men dets ånd er stort", afsluttede Crowley.
Despite the fact that you may be small as a country, not only are you big in spirit but there is also great quality there.
Energipolitik skal ikke udvandes yderligere
The Parliament should be informed about what is going on."
Monica FRASSONI (Verts/ALE, IT) var glad for at se den slovenske premierminister i Parlamentet, men lidt bange for, at det kan blive et enkeltstående tilfælde.
Francis WURTZ (GUE/NGL, FR) stressed the need to debate social dumping and to address the erosion of purchasing power in parallel to rising profits.
"Vi ved, at det er en væsentlig post, men vi er bange for, at der ikke bliver gjort nok for Europa," sagde hun.
On Kosovo, he asked: "How can we explain that 2 billion euros aid of the international community has failed to lead to any growth, 50% unemployment, corruption, and deep rooted mafia groups?"
Af specifikke punkter, som hendes gruppe De Grønne fandt vigtige, nævnte hun den energipakke, som snart vil blive fremlagt af Kommissionen.
This agreement is a violation of the treaty, the Commission should have protested it instead of supporting the attempt to avoid the peoples of Europe."
Hun understregede at 'low-carbon'-energi ikke er atomenergi, og at der skal gøres mere for at fremme de 'virkelige' vedvarende energiformer som sol og vind.
"When I hear that an objective of Slovenia also consists of getting all of the former Yugoslav states into the EU, I think that is important and right.
Desuden ønskede hendes gruppe, at der skulle ses nærmere på udvikling af affaldspolitikken, da forbrænding er ikke den eneste måde at løse problemerne på.
Concerning Kosovo, he stressed that both the Kosovo Albanian's and Serbs' view would have to be taken into account: "We need to make sure that Serbia is not driven into the arms of the Kremlin".
Social dumping skal på dagsordenen
British and Irish speakers
Han understregede behovet for at tage spørgsmålet om social dumping op, især i forbindelse med de aktuelle afgørelser fra EF-Domstolen i Vaxholm og Viking-line sagerne.
If we are serious about having a Europe that really cares and puts the citizen at the centre, Ms McDonald said, then this requires a radical step change in our approach and in the content of our policy in this institution and across the institutions of the European Union.
Wurtz beklagede, at kun Irland, som det eneste land, ser ud til at skulle holde folkeafstemning om Lissabontraktaten, hvilket han betegnede som et tilbageskridt for borgenes involvering i udviklingen af EU.
Addressing the President-in-Office, Ms McDonald stated that "in Ireland you caused something of a stir: you were reported in the media as saying that it is important not to launch some discussions that might cause problems in our country.
Formandskabet skal respektere ratifikationsprocedurerne
This indicates to us that you propose postponing controversial or difficult issues.
Jens-Peter BONDE (IND/DEM, DK) lagde ud med en kritik af den slovenske premierministers ledelse af et møde før jul med gruppelederne fra Parlamentet.
Giles CHICHESTER (EPP-ED, UK) warmly welcomed the Prime Minister of Slovenia to Parliament and wished him well in his period as President-in-Office of the Council.
"De tog det meste af taletiden selv.
We now need the action.
EU skal sikre stabilitet på Balkan
What better slogan for the Irish referendum!
Andreas MÖLZER (NI, AT) talte på vegne af løsgængerne.
We look forward to delivering it to you during your presidency, she concluded.
"Jeg kommer fra et af Sloveniens nabolande.
He also stressed the need for a balance between environmental, economic and social issues.
Han understregede vigtigheden af, at denne proces forgår uden involvering af eksterne aktører.
In conclusion, the President called on Member States to 'have the courage to explain the benefits of enlargement.'

MEP'ere ønsker nye valg i Kenya
Kenya: MEPs call for fresh presidential elections
Medlemmer af Europa-Parlamentet opfordrer til nye valg i Kenya, hvis det ikke bliver muligt at få et uafhængigt organ til at foretage en troværdig genoptælling af stemmerne.
MEPs call for "fresh presidential elections" in case a credible and fair recount of the votes in the presidential election by an independent body proves impossible, according to a resolution adopted by the European Parliament.
I et beslutningsforslag, som blev vedtaget torsdag, ønsker Parlamentet også, at EU skal indefryse yderligere budgetudbetalinger til Kenya, indtil krisen er løst.
MEPs also ask for the freezing of further budgetary support to the government of Kenya until the current crisis is resolved.
MEP'erne fordømmer de tragiske tab af liv og den alvorlige humanitære situation.
The joint resolution was adopted by a large majority in a show of hands.
De beklager, at den siddende præsident Mwau Kibaki udpegede sit kabinet ensidigt, hvilket i alvorlig grad var med til at undergrave forsøgene på at mægle.
The House deplores the fact that Mwai Kibaki - Kenya's incumbent President - appointed his cabinet unilaterally, which severely undermined mediation efforts.
De opfordrer Kibaki til at respektere sit lands demokratiske forpligtelser og retningslinjerne for frie og demokratiske valg i Den Afrikanske Unions charter for menneskerettigheder og folkets rettigheder.
MEPs call on Mwai Kibaki to respect his country’s democratic commitments enshrined in the country’s National Constitution and the guidelines of the African Charter of Human and People’s Rights relating to free and fair elections and to agree to an independent examination of the presidential vote.
Nye valg?
Electoral process
Hvis det bliver umuligt at sikre, at et uafhængigt organ kan nyoptælle stemmerne fra præsidentvalget, opfordrer MEP'erne til et nyt præsidentvalg.
MEPs call for fresh presidential elections should it prove impossible to organise a credible and fair recount of the votes in the presidential election by an independent body.
Den økonomiske situation og støtte MEP'erne udtrykker dyb bekymring over de sociale følger af den økonomiske krise og den ødelæggende effekt, krisen har på landets samfundsøkonomiske udvikling samt på udviklingen i nabolandene, som er afhængige af Kenyas infrastruktur.
There is massive discontent and deprivation; a whole army of discontented people, as we have seen, has been engendered by the situation there, because what they realise is that the gap between the haves and the have-nots in Kenya has widened – and that in the context of that 6% growth in GDP which others have mentioned."
MEP'erne beklager, at der lige efter valget blev udbetalt penge til Kenyas regering i direkte støtte fra EU's udviklingsfond, da dette kunne forstås som en politisk godkendelse.
I would add my voice to those that have said that the EU must suspend budget support to Kenya until a political resolution to the present crisis has been found.
Derfor mener MEP'erne, at yderligere støtte skal indefryses, indtil situationen er løst.
But, contrary to what other speakers have said, that does not mean that we should abandon the country.
Fakta: Det blev afholdt præsidentvalg og parlamentsvalg i Kenya den 27. december 2007.
It means we should rechannel our aid through agencies and organisations that can get money to the poor, the neediest and the weakest in Kenya.
Ifølge FN's kontor for Koordination af Humanitære Anliggender førte den politiske vold til, at 250.000 blev fordrevet.
Sadly that has changed in the last two weeks and we have seen over 600 people killed and 250 000 people have been displaced.
Urolighederne berørte mellem 400.000 kenyanere, især fra byerne Eldoret, Kericho og Kisumu.
Unfortunately, again, that violence is ethnic in nature.
