Udvalget skal mødes første gang i Strasbourg den 21. maj.
Members return to Strasbourg for a week of debates and votes starting on Monday 21 May.
Torsdag vedtog Parlamentet, at alle tunge lastbiler, som har været på vejene siden 2000, skal have monteret ekstra spejle senest den 31. marts 2009.
The role of the private sector in public transport was discussed The European Union's relations with Russia took centre stage in the Plenary yesterday with MEPs debating a resolution which was endorsed Thursday.
Menneskerettigheder skal i centrum i EU's forbindelser til Rusland Rusland forbliver en vigtig partner for Europa, især når det handler om energi, men det vigtigste princip i forholdet mellem de to parter skal være respekten for menneskerettigheder, mener Europa-Parlamentet i en betænkning, som blev vedtaget torsdag med et stort flertal.
The resolution says that Russia remains an important partner for Europe, especially in the energy sector, but that democratic values and human rights must remain core principles of the relationship.
Næste samling er den 21. - 24. maj i Strasbourg.
The summit - due to be held in the Russian city of Samara - could mark an important step in the renewal of the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement between the two.
Rusland forbliver en vigtig partner for Europa, især når det handler om energi, men det vigtigste princip i forholdet mellem de to parter skal være respekten for menneskerettigheder, mener Europa-Parlamentet i en betænkning.
In the resolution MEPs welcomed greater dialogue over energy issues, the easing of visa restrictions and expressed support for Russia's membership of the WTO.
Ophævelsen af Ruslands boykot af kød fra Polen var også blandt Parlamentets krav.
However, the resolution, which was backed by the European People's Party and European Democrats (EPP-ED), the Socialist PSE, the Union of Europe for the Nations (UEN) and the European United Left (GUE/NGL) was critical of Russia over its human rights record.
Parlamentet understregede sin opbakning til Ruslands medlemskab af verdenshandelsorganisationen WTO og hilste initiativerne for at ophæve visa-pligten mellem EU og Rusland velkommen.
In particular the use of force by the Russian authorities to quell protests in Moscow and St. Petersburg and restrictions on the media.
Disse principper skal benyttes i forhold til store infrastrukturprojekter, som f.eks. gasrørledningen i Østersøen.
He warned Moscow that the Russian leadership would be making a "grave mistake" if they thought Europe would be divided over the issue.
MEP'erne udtrykte dog dyb bekymring over de russiske myndigheders brug af magt i forhold til demonstranter i Moskva og St. Petersborg, og gentog at 'et solidt forsvar for menneskerettigheder og demokratiske værdier' skal være et bærende princip i ethvert EU-engagement i forhold til Rusland.
For the Socialist PSE Group Marianne Mikko, - who is herself Estonian - called for an end to the "cyber war" between the two sides as Russian hackers are apparently targeting Estonian news websites.
De var også bekymrede over de fortsatte meldinger om brug af tortur i Tjetjenien og begrænsningerne af de demokratiske friheder, for eksempel pressefriheden i forhold til de kommende valg.
Graham Watson for the Liberal ALDE Group (who opposed the resolution along with the Greens), told MEPs that "when intimidation triumphs over negotiation, it can no longer be business as usual between the European Union and Russia.
Formanden for Europa-Parlamentet Hans-Gert Pöttering kom desuden med en støtte erklæring til Estland.
Specially designed "blind spot" mirrors are compulsory for new Lorries from 2007, although in the debate on Wednesday and the vote Thursday MEPs supported extending this to older vehicles registered from 1 January 2000.
Formanden for Europa-Parlamentet Hans-Gert Pöttering kom desuden med en støtte erklæring til Estland.
It is estimated that the whole replacement project would cost €100 - 150 per lorry but could save up to 1,200 lives in Europe by 2020.
"Schuman-erklæringen fra den 9. maj 1950 var ned til at give Europa det grundlag for at et fællesskab kunne udvikle sig mellem nationer som før var fjendtligt indstillet over for hinanden.
German MEP Dieter-Lebrecht Koch of the European People's Party praised the heavy goods industry and the role they play in the EU's internal market.
Men 9. maj er for andre en kontroversiel dato, som vi har set det i striden om det sovjetiske mindesmærke i Estlands hovedstad Tallinn".
However, he was critical of the length of the transition period - the deadline being March 2009 for implementation - as "around 800 people would die in accidents while we would wait" he told MEPs.
EU følger trop med sidespejle på lastbiler Det er med inspiration fra bl.a. Danmark, at EU-Kommissionen har foreslået regler for sidespejle på nye lastbiler.
Public transport: MEPs back public / private compromise To what extent private sector should be involved in public transport was the subject of the second reading of a Regulation considered by MEPs.
Men også de ældre lastbiler udgør en stor fare for trafikanterne.
It concerns the awarding contacts of service between the private and public sector.
Torsdag vedtog Parlamentet, at alle tunge lastbiler, som har været på vejene siden 2000, skal have monteret ekstra spejle senest den 31. marts 2009.
The Regulation is based on the "controlled competition" concept which is which is half-way between complete deregulation and a closed market.
Hvert år bliver 400 europæere, heraf mange af cyklende børn, dræbt, når lastbilschauffører drejer til højre og overser trafikanterne i den blinde vinkel.
In the first reading the EP extended the length of contracts to respectively 8 years for bus services and 15 years for rail.
Ifølge et EU-direktiv fra 2003 skal nye lastvogn være udstyret med vidvinkelspejle fra 2007.
Reflecting on the compromise reached, Christine De Veyrac of the European People's Party said that "even if not perfect, this is a good compromise that could give real legal security to all the actors in the transport business".
Men med Paolo Costa (ALDE, IT) som ordfører vedtog Parlamentet, at disse spejle også skal monteres på ældre lastbiler - mere præcist alle lastbiler er registreret fra 1. januar 2000 og frem.
For the PSE Group Brian Simpson "what people require is an efficient, reliable, affordable and safe public transport system that places on public bodies a responsibility to ensure that those criteria are met.
Det betyder, at de udenlandske lastbiler der kommer til Danmark også skal være udstyret med ekstra sidespejle.
It also places responsibility on transport operators to deliver, and frankly, that is where the challenges will lie".
De nye regler skal skabe balance mellem den private og offentlige sektor i uddelingen af kontrakter.

Thursday: MEPs back better housing in Europe
Men det er ikke på alle strækninger, at det er en overskudsforretning at køre bus eller tog, og derfor beder mange om støtte til at dække underskudsgivende linjer, når de byder ind på et projekt.
Whilst at present money is only allocated to the States that joined in or after 2004 the scope of the report wants to extend funding to all EU members.
Torsdag under EP-Samlingen
This could help deal with high prices and urban sprawl across Europe.
Torsdag stemte Parlamentet om to betænkninger om regionalpolitikken.
Voting on another report, MEPs supported a boost to innovation in Europe's regions through education and cross border cooperation.
Den ene om bedre boliger ved hjælp af EU-støtte, og den anden om, hvordan regionalpolitikken kan være med til at styrke innovationen.
It also sees proper development as the way to ease urban sprawl and reduce traffic congestion caused by long distance commuting to work.
I egen-initiativbetænkningen af Alfonse Andria (ALDE, IT), som blev vedtaget af Parlamentet med 469 stemmer for, 38 imod og 46, der undlod, tager Parlamentet hul på problematikken om boliger.
Definition of "adequate housing" needed In environmental terms it calls for regeneration of Brownfield sites and protection of the greenbelt as well as more energy-efficient housing.
Bedre vilkår for nytænkning og innovation Mieczyslaw Edmund Janowski (UEN, PL) stod bag initiativbetænkningen om, hvordan EU's regionalpolitik kan være med til at sætte gang i innovationen.
It must be put within a global approach, that concerns sustainable urban development in general, strongly linked to sect oral and horizontal policies".
For at sikre innovationen, mener Parlamentet, at Rådet, Kommissionen og medlemsstaterne skal optrappe bestræbelserne på at indføre det europæiske patent og sikre, at ophavsretten (strategien om den intellektuelle ejendomsret) bliver respekteret.
James Nicholson of the European People's Party and European Democrats (EPP-ED), stressed the role of smaller businesses "often we associate innovation with large multinational companies with enormous research facilities.

Fokus på forholdet mellem EU og Rusland forud for topmødet
EU-Russia relations in spotlight ahead of Summit
Demokratiske værdier og menneskerettigheder må fortsat være kernespørgsmål i forholdet mellem Rusland og EU på trods af Ruslands rolle som en vigtig energipartner.
Democratic values and human rights must remain at the core of the relationship between Russia and the European Union - despite the importance of Russia as an energy partner.
Det vedtog MEP’er i en resolution forud for topmødet mellem EU og Rusland på fredag.
This is the message MEPs delivered in a resolution last week ahead of the EU-Russia summit this Friday.
Forholdet mellem parterne har været forpestet af nylig uenighed om alt lige fra polsk kød til flytning af en sovjetisk statue i Estland.
Recent disputes over everything from Polish meat to the moving of a Soviet statue in Estonia have marred current relations.

Der skal vælges 18 MEP’er, og de skal sidde indtil juni 2009, hvor det næste valg til Europa-Parlamentet finder sted i alle 27 medlemslande.
Bulgaria held its first-ever election to the European Parliament on Sunday with over 200 candidates vying to be one of the country's 18 sitting members.
De nye MEP’er bliver modtaget i Parlamentet ved åbningen af plenarsamlingen i juni.
Early polls put the result as close - the central electoral commission will declare the result later in the week.
Selv om Bulgarien og Rumænien – som begge tilsluttede sig EU i 2007 – endnu ikke har afholdt valg til EP, har MEP’er fra begge lande siddet i EP siden landenes optagelse.
In total 6.7 million of the 7.6 million population were eligible to vote in elections to the European Parliament, just 5 months after Bulgaria joined the EU with its neighbour Romania.
De 18 bulgarske og 35 rumænske ”midlertidige” MEP’er blev udpeget af deres nationale parlamenter og de fleste af dem har været ”observatører” ved EP siden slutningen af 2005.
Turnout is estimated at around 30%.
EU’s optagelsestraktat for Bulgarien og Rumænien stiller som krav, at de to lande afholder valg før udgangen af 2007 – i Rumænien sker det til efteråret.
Parliament's President Hans-Gert Pöttering commented that "the 18 Bulgarian members will be the voice of the Bulgarian citizens and will represent their interests in the European Parliament".
Sædvanligvis har MEP’er et femårigt mandat.
He also congratulated them and wished them well in their mandate.
Skønt det allerede var planlagt med Rom-traktaten i 1957, tog det mere end 20 år, før der var gennemført direkte valg.
Referring to the contribution the new 18 could make he went on to say, "I hope that the new members of Parliament will soon be integrated in the work of the House and be able to contribute with their experience and knowledge for the benefit of their voters and the European project.
De første afstemninger fandt sted i 1979 og den sjette valgrunde var i 2004.
Mr Pöttering also said, "I feel sure that their positive contribution will help to improve voter participation in future elections".
Resultatet fra det bulgarske valg vil blive annonceret d.
Romania is due to hold a European election later in the year.

Ved åbningen af samlingen i Strasbourg annoncerede formanden for Parlamentet, Hans-Gert Pöttering, at en skriftlig erklæring om en grøn 'brintøkonomi' var blevet underskrevet af over halvdelen af medlemmerne af Parlamentet, og at den derfor ville blive sendt videre til Kommissionen og medlemsstaterne.
Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi told MEPs that Europe’s future is at stake between now and the 2009 European elections in a debate in the European Parliament in Strasbourg on Tuesday, 22 May.
Erklæringen, som 420 MEP'ere har skrevet under på, opfordrer EU-institutionerne til:
MEPs expressed diverse views from pressing on with much of the existing Constitution, to a smaller Treaty, to advocating no change to the status quo.
at sigte mod en 20 % forøgelse af energieffektiviteten inden 2020,
Mr Pöttering pointed out that 18 countries had ratified the treaty.
at mindske udledningen af drivhusgasser med 30 % frem til 2020 (i forhold til 1990-niveauet),
He welcomed the support being given by Italy to the constitutional process and stressed that "it would be a misinterpretation of the people's will" to respond to the two failed referendums with a solution that "limits democracy and transparency in the European Union".
at dække 33 % af elektricitetsforbruget og 25 % af det samlede energiforbrug ved hjælp af vedvarende energikilder inden 2020,
Romano PRODI , Prime Minister of Italy, expressed the firm view that "Europe’s future is at stake between now and the 2009 elections".
Ændringer på dagsordenen
It must focus on "the few significant points at issue" and the need for solutions.
Der var en ændring til ugens dagsorden, nemlig at der ikke skal stemmes om et beslutningsforslag efter debatten tirsdag om Palæstina.
He also wished " to warn against the appeals to 'realism' usually issued on the eve of an important European Council, which are invariably linked to minimalist solutions."
-//EP//DTD IM-PRESS 20050901 PBR-ITEM DOC XML V0//EN
In fact, "the only true realism is to build a Europe able to keep up with challenges" he emphasised.
-//EP//STYLESHEET IM-PRESS 20050901 PBR-ITEM DOC XML V0//EN
On all these points, said Mr Prodi, "the 2004 Constitutional Treaty gives convincing answers."
-//EP//TEXT IM-PRESS 20070516BRI06749 ITEM-COVER-DA DOC XML V0//DA
Not 'against' anybody and not to 'exclude' anyone, but always keeping the door open."

However, if the resulting agreement does not convince Italy, "we will not sign it."
Rent overfladevand fra 2015
After a long hiatus the constitutional issue was coming back into focus.
Betænkningen af Anne LAPERROUZE (ALDE, FR) ser nærmere på kvaliteten af overfladevand (floder, søer, og kystområder).
For the Socialist group, Martin SCHULZ (DE) said he had nothing to add, as Mr Prodi had expressed exactly the opinion of his group.
Direktivet om overfladevand er et af datterdirektiverne til Rammedirektivet om vand fra 2000.
Mr Schulz referred to the experience of his colleague Paul Nyrup Rasmussen, now an MEP sitting next to him, but in 2000 Danish Prime Minister and thus a participant at the Nice summit.
Flere stoffer skal kontrolleres
To continue in this way would destroy Europe,” he warned.
I forhold til overfladevand har Kommissionen foreslået at fastsætte miljømæssige standarder for, hvor stor en mængde af 41 forurenende stoffer, der må findes i vandet.
To maintain that success, meant major changes to the existing treaties, he concluded, using the words of Lampedusa “Everything must change in order for everything to stay as it is.”
Det er stoffer som pesticider, tungmetaller eller andre farlige kemiske stoffer, der udgør en særlig risiko for vandfauna og -flora samt menneskers sundhed.
“We need more Europe, not less as the key to competitiveness, more Europe not less to obtain security and more Europe not less is the key to a just world.”
Parlamentet har med afstemningen tirsdag tilføjet en lang række stoffer til denne liste.
Only strong institutions, he concluded, could build a stronger Europe.
I henhold til det nye direktiv skal de miljømæssige standarder være opfyldt fra 2015, og direkte udledning af forurenende stoffer i overfladevandet skal stoppes fra 2025.
Speaking for the UEN group, Cristiana MUSCARDINI (IT) said it was urgent to adopt a new treaty which would make the EU simpler and easier to understand, but the text should not be too general and ambiguous.
Margrete AUKEN, (Verts/ALE, DK), som havde været sin gruppes ordfører på sagen, talte under debatten mandag aften.
Monica FRASSONI (IT), speaking for the Greens/EFA group, said that experience has shown that those who say 'no' were often the most vociferous.
Hun var utilfreds med, at det havde taget Kommissionen så lang tid at komme med sit forslag, der efter hendes mening ikke var godt nok.
Speaking for the GUE/NGL group, Francis WURTZ (FR) said that even by simply changing the terminology away from the world "constitution", it would be necessary to consult the people.
"Det er slemt for vandet, men også for EU's anseelse.
Mr Wurtz also called for a statute for the European Central Bank.
Vandmiljøet er en sag, der ligger de europæiske befolkninger på sinde, og vi bør fra EU's side leve op til forventningerne.
Mr Wurtz also questioned what role politics and political institutions had to play in facing up to the challenges of economic globalisation, a question he said, that was "never answered" by any of the other leaders.
Vi må ikke svigte de løfter, som vi så klart og så ofte har givet!
Finally, Mr Wurtz said that Mr Sarkozy had to slim down his ambitions for Europe in order to get support from the French people.
Miljøudvalget fik heldigvis rettet gevaldigt op på Kommissionens forslag," sagde hun og tilføjede:
Mr Farage asked: "If you're suggesting we give up common law and habeas corpus for that sort of European system, my answer to you is no thank you."
