REACH: MEPs do not oppose chemical substance testing methods
MEP'erne understreger i den forbindelse, at er brug for mere detaljeret oplysning om, hvor meget drivhusgas almindelige forbrugsvarer er med til at udlede.
MEPs had threatened to exercise their right to stop the new legislation, if the Commission would not commit itself to change its procedures to encourage non-animal test methods.
Det er en forløber for den endelige rapport, som Det Midlertidige Udvalg for Klimaændringer vil komme med, når de afslutter deres arbejde i februar 2009.
At the same time new test methods, including alternative test methods to replace animal testing, will be integrated in the new Regulation.
Den endelige rapport vil indeholde anbefalinger til EU's fremtidige klimapolitik, og vil udgøre Parlamentets position i forhold til de internationale forhandlinger om ny rammeaftale for bekæmpelse af klimaændringer, når Kyoto-aftalen udløber i 2012.
In the resolution adopted with 508 votes in favour, 6 against and 8 abstentions, MEPs criticise that the Commission has not included a number of scientifically validated alternative test methods to animal tests in the regulation just because the regulatory procedure has not been terminated yet.
Det midlertidige Udvalg for Klimaændringer havde sit første møde den 22. maj 2007.
They want to guarantee that new non-animal test methods can be applied as soon as possible.

MEP'ere ønsker mere fart på reformerne i Tyrkiet
MEPs call for comprehensive legislation to combat discrimination
Det går for langsomt med reformerne i Tyrkiet.
The own-initiative report adopted with 362 votes in favour, 262 against and 56 abstentions, also demands effective sanctions and support for victims.
MEP'erne understreger, at en modernisering først og fremmest er i Tyrkiets egen interesse, men påpeger, at 'yderligere forsinkelser alvorligt påvirker tempoet i forhandlingerne.'
Discrimination on grounds of gender, and racial or ethnic origin is already covered by two existing directives.
MEP'erne minder i betænkningen om, at forhandlingerne med Tyrkiet er udgangspunktet for en tidsubegrænset proces og henviser til, at 'fuldstændig overholdelse af alle Københavnerkriterierne fortsat er grundlaget for tiltrædelse af EU', som de understreger er et fællesskab baseret på fælles værdier.
Parliament calls for "putting an end to the hierarchy of protection against different grounds of discrimination".
Militærets og retssystemets rolle i det moderne Tyrkiet
It would not "make sense to outlaw discrimination in one area whilst allowing it in another", they say.
Sagen kan føre til en opløsning af partiet.
Combat all forms of discrimination
MEP'erne forventer, at den tyrkiske forfatningsdomstol i den forbindelse 'respekterer retsstatsprincipperne, de europæiske standarder og Venedig-konventionens retningslinjer om forbud mod politiske partier' og beder det tyrkiske parlament om at sikre, at forfatningen respekterer disse standarder.
MEPs stress that any new directive would have to prohibit all forms of discrimination, including direct and indirect discrimination, in all areas that fall under EU competence as well as education, lifelong learning, social protection and social security, housing and healthcare, images of discriminated groups in the media and advertising, physical access for people with disabilities to information, telecommunication, electronic communications, transport modes and public spaces, social advantages and access to and supply of goods and services which are available to the public.
En af de meget omstridte artikler i den tyrkiske straffelov, artikel 301, som kan give fængselsstraf for 'anti-tyrkiske' udtalelser og handlinger, er for nylig blevet ændret til, at man ikke længere kan retsforfølges for at være 'utyrkisk', men udelukkende for at angribe den tyrkiske nation.
The report also states that future legislation has to include specific provisions to combat multiple discrimination "which can be invoked on either one or a combination of more than one of the grounds".
Fremover skal den tyrkiske justitsminister vurdere alle sager, og maksimumstraffen er reduceret fra 3 til 2 år.
Differences in treatment based on nationality or language which may constitute indirect discrimination is also included in the report.
De beklager, at der ikke er sket fremskridt i den forbindelse og at antallet af personer, der er retsforfulgt, er steget yderligere i 2007.
MEPs, therefore, urge the Commission to continue pressure on Member States through infringement and non-compliance procedures to fully transpose these directives as soon as possible.
Kurdiske borgmestre og Leyla Zana
Effective sanctions and assistance for victims
MEP'erne beklager også de mange retssager, der bliver ført mod borgmestre og politikere, som giver udtryk for deres mening i forhold til det kurdiske spørgsmål.
Sanctions against a violation of national provisions must be "effective, proportionate and dissuasive", say MEPs.
De nævner som eksempel de fængselsdomme, der blev udstedt mod 53 kurdiske borgmestre, der havde sendt brev til Anders Fogh Rasmussen for at sikre, at den kurdiske tv-station ROJ kunne sende fra Danmark.
They recall that the burden to act is often on the victim to challenge the perpetrator "often with neither support from any public authority nor access to public funding for legal aid".
MEP'erne beklager også, at Sakharovprismodtageren fra 1995, Leyla Zana er blevet idømt to års fængsel for udtalelser om PKK's leder Öcalan.
Therefore, "Member States should ensure that victims of discrimination are automatically assisted in legal proceedings, if necessary by public funding through national legal aid schemes", says the report.
I arbejdet med en ny civil forfatning mener MEP'erne, at det er afgørende, at beskyttelse af menneskerettighederne og frihedsrettighederne bliver en central del af forfatningen.
In adopting a report on the under-representation of women in the world of science, Parliament calls for gender balance on decision-making bodies, mainstreaming of the male-female dimension in research programmes and support for scientific careers for women to increase the number of women scientists in the EU.
De understreger, at den nye forfatning bør sikre ligestilling mellem mænd og kvinder, og at der bør undgås vage formuleringer og uklare kriterier som f.eks. 'almindelig moral.'
MEPs criticise the unambitious and insufficient EU target of 25 % and remind the Commission and the Member States that gender parity implies at least 40 % female representation.
MEP'erne konstaterer samtidig den skuffelse og bekymring, der hersker i en del af befolkningen om ophævelsen af forbuddet mod tørklæder på universiteterne.
However, women researchers are in a minority within the EU, comprising of only 35% of researchers in government and the public sector and only 18% of researchers in the private sector.
Ordføreren for Parlamentets betænkning Ria Oomen-Ruijten fremhævede i sin tale MEP'ernes bekymring over et muligt forbud mod AKP-partiet og understregede, at der er brug for mere fart i reformerne.
The report by Britta THOMSEN (PES, DK) seeks to address the low number of women in decision-making bodies and a lack of transparency in recruitment procedures and the persistence of stereotypes in Europe's teaching systems.
Hun mente, at arbejdet med en ny forfatning er den eneste måde, hvorpå den tyrkiske regering kan reformere landet.
"The subject of women and science is related to the objectives of the Lisbon Strategy.
"Vi må i fortsættelsen af forhandlingerne med Tyrkiet kunne tale lige ud af posen, " sagde hun.
Positive actions are needed to quickly improve the situation", said the rapporteur.
Reformtempoet er for langsomt
It was adopted by 416 votes for, 75 against and 164 abstentions.
Kommissæren med ansvar for udvidelsen, Olli REHN, var enig med Parlamentet i, at tempoet for reformerne i Tyrkiet kunne komme op.
Moreover, notes the report, one of the priority areas for EU action in the Roadmap for Gender Equality is equal representation in decision-making, including a target of 25% of women in leading positions in public sector research.
Han var glad for ændringen af straffelovens artikel 301 om anti-tyrkiske ytringer men mente, at det nu var vigtigt at holde øje med udførelsen af den.
Fighting stereotypes and mainstreaming the male-female dimension in EU programmes
Han indskærpede desuden, at det er vigtigt, at der lederne på Cypern kommer ud af den fastfrosne situation.
Universities, research institutes and private businesses are encouraged to adopt and enforce equality strategies in the organisation, including more "gender neutral" approaches to evaluating performance.
Reformprocessen skal i vejret
Encouraging scientific careers for women
Giorgos DIMITRAKOPOULOS (PPE-DE, GR) mente, at Parlamentets betænkning sendte et tydeligt signal til tyrkerne: "Medlemskab af den europæiske familie kræver, at en række betingelser bliver opfyldt: Reformprocessen skal i vejret, alle menneskerettigheder skal overholdes, og de tyrkiske tropper skal trækkes tilbage fra Cypern," sagde Dimitrakopoulos.
The report calls on the commission and the Member States to take positive action to encourage female researchers, such as setting up support programmes for young women scientists and strengthening networking among female scientists at national, regional and EU level.
Uacceptabelt og udemokratisk at ville forbyde partier
Text adopted on women and science
Han understregede desuden, at det er nødvendigt at indgå en dialog med de kurdiske repræsentanter.

Skuffet over tempoet
Learning the lessons of the PEACE programme for Ireland
"Vi er skuffede over, hvor lidt man har opnået det sidste år," sagde han og mente, at forfatningsreformen i Tyrkiet var blevet overskygget af tørklædedebatten.
The possibility of creating a Europe-wide network of regions and cities living with, or emerging from, conflict and exclusion is now under discussion, notes the report.
Han understregede, at reformen af den meget omstridte artikel 301 i straffeloven der straffer anti-tyrkiske ytringer, ikke er tilstrækkeligt, da der er mange andre paragraffer i straffeloven, der begrænser ytringsfriheden.
Speaking in Irish in the debate in Strasbourg on Monday (19 May), Bairbre DE BRÚN (GUE/NGL, Sinn Féin, Northern Ireland, UK) stressed that the PEACE programmes are a sound investment in building an enterprise economy in Northern Ireland and the border areas.
"De siger, at vi ikke forstår Tyrkiet.
Local empowerment is essential to peace-building, because civil society participation improves policy making and governance.
Nogle gange er der meget i Tyrkiet, jeg ikke forstår," sagde han og nævnte eksemplet med partiet AKP, der i en verserende sag ved forfatningsdomstolen risikerer at blive forbudt.
Experience in dealing with EU funds, and in developing provision mechanisms that involve the voluntary sector, non-governmental organisations and local authorities, could serve in other, similar funding programmes.
"Det er vores pligt at påpege sådan noget," sagde han og kritiserede også de tyrkiske myndigheders indgriben i fagforeningerne fredelige 1. maj demonstrationer.
Establishing a network of enterprise centres in deprived areas contributes to economic and social development, and helps boost confidence and hope.
"Vi skal støtte reformerne, men vi skal støtte opposition, hvis der ikke sker fremskridt," sluttede han.
When structuring future initiatives, the Commission is asked, in relation to its task force on Northern Ireland, to replicate the "active citizenship" approach from the PEACE I and PEACE II programmes, [and to step up its support for infrastructure improvement].
"Vi har set nøje på reformerne, men det går for langsomt," sagde han og mente, at man burde se på rammerne for samarbejdet mellem EU og Tyrkiet og se, hvordan man kan samarbejde indenfor de eksisterende rammer.
Funding programmes should make widespread use of both large and small-scale local consultations and include schemes that allow for the approval of small grants to fund work that is needed at short notice [as well as schemes that allow for long-term sustainability and can make a contribution to local communities].
Mere fokus på det kurdiske spørgsmål
Progress takes time.
Vittorio AGNOLETTO (GUE/NGL, IT) mente, at det kurdiske spørgsmål ikke var tilstrækkeligt dækket i betænkningen og han mente ligeledes, at der skulle mere fokus på Tyrkiets aktiviteter i Nordirak.
Peace-building is an evolutionary process, and individual grants need longer time frames to allow projects to make a difference.
"Den tyrkiske regering skal have tydeligt at vide, at de skal starte forhandlinger med de kurdiske repræsentanter," sagde han.
It is important to consult the voluntary and community sectors in order to develop local strategies, and local businesses are also influential participants.
Det lover ikke godt for Tyrkiets fremtid
Development in rural areas requires greater synergies between rural and regional development funding than has been the case to date.
Georgios GEORGIOU (IND/DEM, GR) mente, at de aktuelle begivenheder og betænkningen ikke lover godt for Tyrkiets fremtid.
A database could be created as a learning tool for work on peace and reconciliation at home and abroad, including success stories from projects funded by PEACE I, PEACE II and the International Fund for Ireland.
"Vi taler om et land, som tidligere har forsøgt at gennemføre reformer, uden at det er lykkedes, "sagde han og mente, at sagen om at forbyde partier udgjorde en enorm fare.
Experience from projects under these programmes should inform other international peace-building work, as part of a two-way process.
I EU forbyder man også partier
PEACE programmes
Philip CLAEYS (NI, BE) nævnte, at man i EU-lande også forbyder partier, og tænkte her på det belgiske parti Vlams Blok.
PEACE programmes benefit a wide range of sectors, areas, groups and communities and encourage cross-community projects.
Han understregede, at det naturligvis ikke skulle føre til, at man dermed gav Tyrkiet lov til at forbyde partier.
The bulk of PEACE funding is managed by local partners and NGOs, enabling various sections of the community to work together.
"Jeg er overrasket over, at man er så fokuserede på de kosmetiske ændringer i artikel 301 i den tyrkiske straffelov.
The Special Support Programme for Peace and Reconciliation 1995-1999 (PEACE I), allocated €750m to 15,000 projects.
Hele denne paragraf skal stryges, der skal indføres paragraffer for at sikre ytringsfriheden - ellers må man stoppe forhandlingerne, sagde Clays.
Designed with a lot of local community input, it helped legislators to learn how to work with voluntary sector and community partners.
"Tyrkiet er for stort og for anderledes til at blive optaget i EU," sagde han, og mente at Tyrkiets strategi i forhandlingerne var at køre EU træt.
PEACE II placed more emphasis on the economy and economic viability, but some of the "bottom-up" approach was lost, says the rapporteur.
Han sagde, at et flertal af den europæiske befolkning ikke er interesseret i at optage Tyrkiet og mente, at det var "på tide at standse teaterforestillingen".
The current PEACE III programme (2007-2013) is expected to provide total funding of about €333m.
"Tyrkiet kan få en udvidet handelsaftale.
It stresses reconciliation, and seeks to use the work of Hamber and Kelly.
Europa hører ikke med i den fremtid, Tyrkiet skal satse på," sluttede han.
Since 1989, the EU has also been a key contributor to the International Fund for Ireland, established by the Irish and British governments in 1986.

MEP'ere ønsker samme type straf til miljøsyndere
Violence against the Roma goes beyond Italy, say MEPs
Det skal være straffeloven, der skal tages i brug ved alvorlige overtrædelser af miljøbeskyttelsen, uanset hvilket medlemsland forbrydelsen er begået i.
"Racist violence feeds on populism, as we have seen in many Member States", he said, declaring that "it is the very meaning of European Union to overcome racist hatred, pogroms and destruction by fire".
Parlamentet bakkede tirsdag op om en aftale med Rådet om fælles rammer for straf af miljøsyndere.
"The situation of the Roma is terrible everywhere in Europe", not just in Italy, said Lívia JÁRÓKA (EPP-ED, HU).
Forslaget sikrer en definition af, hvilke overtrædelser, der skal dømmes efter straffeloven, mens selve strafudmålingen bliver op til de enkelte lande.
"All governments are to blame, of right and left, because they have not succeeded in promoting the integration of the Roma in society", she continued, adding that "this is a question that should not be over-politicised (...) it is important that the Italian government should do its best to combat discrimination and not expel the Roma from Italy".
En fabrik, der med vilje hælder skadelige kemikalier ud i det nærliggende vandløb eller en skibsreder, der tømmer olie ud i havet, skal dømmes ud fra straffeloven, uanset hvilket EU-land det foregår i.
For Martin SCHULZ (PES, DE), "the left, like the right, shares common values" here, and "one cannot touch the dignity of human beings".
Det er essensen i et forslag til et nyt direktiv, der skal gøre en række miljøovertrædelser strafbare i alle medlemslande.
He too noted that the problem "arises not only in Italy but also everywhere else in the Union, and this is because we have been unable to integrate our minorities".
Med ordføreren fra retsudvalget, Hartmut NASSAUER (PPE-DE, DE) i spidsen fik Parlamentet inden afstemningen et kompromis med Rådet i stand om vilkårene for de nye regler, som fik stor opbakning tirsdag i salen.
"We must strive to say that the Roma need action by all European citizens to enable them to integrate (...), and I consider that the Roma cannot be victims of those who want to run a right-wing populist policy", he declared.
Parlamentets godkendelse af aftalen gør det muligt at afslutte lovgivningsarbejdet.
Returning from a visit to Italy, the MEP said that "during the election campaign, a number of stereotypes were used against the Roma, which made them scapegoats.
Et ændringsforslag, som MEP'erne vedtog, giver derefter landene 24 måneder til at implementere.
"There is a directive (that of 2004) that must apply to all", said Roberto MUSACCHIO (GUE/NGL, IT), adding that "we reiterate this to the current government, whose first acts were scandalous".
"Et stort skridt fremad for miljøbeskyttelsen "
He also criticised "those who use fear for electoral ends".
Dan Jørgensen, (PSE, DK), som var ordfører på en udtalelse fra miljøudvalget, kaldte under debatten mandag aften beslutningen for meget vigtig.
For Gerard BATTEN (IND/DEM, UK), "what is happening is an example of the clash of rivalries", provoked by "putting in place an international state".
"Vi vil i fremtiden sikre, at de samme overtrædelser vil blive straffet i alle EU-lande, lige meget hvor en sådan overtrædelse måtte blive begået," sagde Dan Jørgensen, som også var glad for definitionerne på, hvad sådanne overtrædelser består i.
Whilst criticising "ethnically motivated atrocities", he urged listeners to "think of the realities engendered by the presence of so many immigrants", since "Europe no has no frontiers".
"Vi havde gerne set, at det også i højere grad var blevet specificeret, hvor hårde straffene skulle være.
He asked that "each country be able to have the immigration policy that it wishes, according to its needs".
Det kunne desværre ikke lade sig gøre på nuværende traktatgrundlag, men vi er alt i alt meget glade for resultatet.
Luca ROMAGNOLI (NI, IT) asked whether the "Spanish socialists" knew "how many crimes can be attributed to nomads" in Italy.
Det er et stort skridt fremad for miljøbeskyttelsen," sagde han.
He also asked the Union to "create a Roma state in the East, where they could govern themselves autonomously".
Miljøsyndere skal straffes ens
-//EP//DTD IM-PRESS 20050901 PBR-ITEM DOC XML V0//EN
Hvis der i et land kun er civilretlige sanktioner (f.eks. bødestraf) for en bestemt type miljøforseelse, vil regeringerne med de nye regler i stedet skulle straffe med 'effektive, proportionale og afskrækkende strafferetlige sanktioner.'
Parliament adopted a report on EU consumer policy strategy (2007-2013) which says that since the greatest obstacles to the development of an internal market in retailing include uncertainties regarding consumer contracts, the report supports the Commission in its efforts to introduce standard contracts and conditions for contracts concluded on-line which would have the same force in all the Member States.
Handel med truet dyre- og planteliv og ozonnedbrydende stoffer gøres strafbart
The report was adopted with 438 votes in favour, 84 against and 166 abstentions.
Det skal blandt andet være strafbart at udlede farlige materialer til eller stråling i luften til jorden eller vandet, at smide affald ulovligt, hvis dette kan medføre dødsfald eller skade mennesker betydeligt.
Parliament asks the Commission then to present, if appropriate, options for a European framework providing all consumers with effective access to the different redress mechanisms of the Member States for the settlement of cross-border complaints.
Det skal også være strafbart at tilskynde til overtrædelser af reglerne.
The House considers strong, independent consumer organisations to be the basis of an effective consumer policy and hence calls on the Commission and the Member States to provide adequate funding for such organisations.
EF-Domstolens afgørelse fra oktober 2007
27 national mini-markets
I kompromispakken foreslår Parlamentet også ændringer, der skal sikre, at direktivet kommer til at være i tråd med en afgørelse fra EF-Domstolen fra oktober 2007.
The report calls for measures to ensure that the 27 national mini-markets within the EU will actually be transformed into the largest retail market in the world.
Kommissionen havde oprindeligt foreslået en ramme for fælles strafudmåling til miljøsynderne, men dommen fra oktober 2007 (C-440/05) fastlagde, at EU kun har kompetence til at fastsætte, om en handling skal opfattes som kriminel eller ej - og dermed om handlingen skal dømmes efter straffeloven.
The European Parliament takes the view that this requires that citizens feel equally safe shopping via the internet or at the local corner shop, and that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can rely on the same simple rules throughout the internal market.

Transport: Krav til bedre uddannelse og klarere regler for kørsel med gods
Soaring food prices: investment in agriculture needed in developing countries
Onsdag vedtog Parlamentet med stort flertal to betænkninger vedrørende nye regler for transport på landevejene, som skal sætte fælles betingelser for udøvelse af vejtransporterhvervet og mere enkle regler for carbotagekørsel - det vil sige vognmænds interne kørsel i andre lande, end der, hvor de er registreret.
Priority should be given to investment in agriculture, aquaculture, rural development and agribusinesses in developing countries.
