Grønt lys til forbedring af boliger i udsatte områder
Finally, the EU "must be able to defend itself against market attacks" by using unconventional tools.
Forbedring af boliger i udsatte områder Fattige og udsatte befolkningsgrupper i alle medlemslande skal kunne få glæde af EU's regionalstøtte til renovering eller nybygning af boliger.
"Our tactical and strategic error was that we didn't intervene immediately and that we followed the wrong approach from the start", Guy Verhofstadt (ALDE, BE) said, adding that the situation in Greece showed the failure of the Lisbon strategy.
Europa-Parlamentet bakkede onsdag op om en aftale med Rådet, som ændrer på reglerne for EU's regionaludviklingsfond.
He criticised the "lack of cohesion, the lack of confidence and the lack of solidarity" and stressed that Europe didn't need the IMF to intervene to solve the eurozone's problems.
Indtil nu har det kun været muligt for de tolv lande, der kom med i EU i 2004 og 2007 at få støtte til forbedring af boliger gennem Den Europæiske Regionaludviklingsfond (EFRU).
Pascal Canfin (Greens/EFA, FR) warned that until quite recently Spain was complying fully with the stability criteria but its private debt "was allowed to explode" and two years on the situation was very poor with a high rate of unemployment: "The stability criteria are important but not enough".
Men med de nye EU regler, vil det være muligt for alle 27 medlemslande, at bruge penge fra regionaludviklingsfonden til at forbedre boligvilkår for marginaliserede befolkningsgrupper.
"If one has a narrow vision of the Stability and Growth Pact criteria, we risk missing the bigger picture, which will prevent us from seeing the next crisis coming".
Ydermere vil pengene ikke være øremærket by-boliger, men vil også kunne bruges i landområder.
Kay Swinburne (ECR, UK) said that sovereign debt spreads led to speculation on the market, leaving the EU "exposed in times of crisis".
Sidste år blev reglerne for regionaludviklingsfonden ændret, så det blev mulig at finansiere tiltag til at gøre boliger mere energieffektive.
Referring to plans for emerging from the crisis, Nikolaos Chountis (GUE/NGL, EL) said we need to review our current models and not attempt to use them again.
SWIFT: MEP'ere bekymrede over databeskyttelse i midlertidig aftale
SWIFT Debate: MEPs still concerned about data protection in interim agreement
Den hollandske ordfører Janine Hennis Plasschaert I en debat onsdag eftermiddag gentog de fleste af Parlamentets politiske grupper deres bekymring over den manglende beskyttelse af personoplysninger i den midlertidige aftale mellem EU og USA om overførsel af bankdata via SWIFT-systemet.
Dutch MEP Jeanine Hennis Plasschaert, rapporteur of the SWIFT report In a debate on Wednesday most of Parliament's political groups restated their concern at the lack of data protection and legal redress in the provisional agreement on bank data transfers to the United-States via the SWIFT network.
"Rådet er kommet med nogle opmuntrende signaler, men det blev ved det," sagde taleren fra PPE-gruppen.
"The Council has made some encouraging signs but it didn't go beyond that", said the EPP speaker.
S&D, ALDE, De Grønne og GUE-gruppen talte stærkt imod aftalen, mens ECR sagde, at der var brug for mere tid til refleksion.
The S&D, ALDE, Greens and GUE groups spoke out firmly against the agreement, while the ECR said it needed more time for reflexion.
Parlamentets ordfører, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert (ADLE, NL), sagde, at brugen af oplysninger om bankoverførsler var nødvendig for at kunne bekæmpe terrorisme, men at Rådet ikke havde stået nok fast i forhold til spørgsmålet om databeskyttelse.
Parliament's rapporteur, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert (ALDE, NL), said that the use of bank data was necessary to fight terrorism but that "the Council has not been tough enough" on the issue of data protection.
Hun var skuffet over, at EU "fortsætter med at outsource sin sikkerhedstjenester til USA uden nogen form for gensidighed".
She was disappointed that the EU "continues to outsource its security services to the United States without any reciprocity".
Hun mente også, at reglerne om overførsel og opbevaring af data i den midlertidige aftale var ude af proportioner.
She also argued that the rules on data transfer and storage provided for in the interim agreement were not proportionate.
Repræsentanten for det spanske formandskab, Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba, sagde, at "Terrorist Finance Tracking Programmet" (TFTP) var "et værdifuldt redskab, som har gjort det muligt at forebygge terrorangreb".
Council president-in-office Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba said the Terrorist Finance Tracking Program (TFTP) was "a tool of great value which has made it possible to prevent terrorist attacks".
Han mente, at aftalen gav tilstrækkelige garantier for beskyttelse af personoplysninger og opfordrede Europa-Parlamentet og Rådet til at arbejde sammen om en interinstitutionel aftale, der skulle give MEP'erne lettere adgang til fortrolige informationer.
He believed the accord provided sufficient guarantees on data protection and urged Parliament and the Council to work on an interinstitutional agreement to allow MEPs easier access to classified documents.
Ved afslutningen af debatten sagde Pérez Rubalcaba, at han ikke havde beføjelse til at komme med et nyt udkast til en aftale med kort varsel, men han håbede på inden for et par måneder at kunne præsentere resultaterne af forhandlingerne med den amerikanske administration.
At the end of the debate, Mr Pérez Rubalcaba said he did not have the power to put forward a new draft agreement at short notice but he hoped to come back before MEPs "in a few months" to present the results of talks with the US administration.
"Det er derfor, jeg beder jer om mere tid", sagde han.
"That's why I'm asking you for time", he said.
Cecilia Malmström, kommissæren for Indre Anliggender, påpegede, at SWIFT-aftalen "ikke kun er til fordel for USA, men at den kommer alle til gode".
According to Home Affairs Commissioner Cecilia Malmström , the SWIFT agreement "is not favourable to the United States alone but benefits everyone".
Hun sagde, at rapporten som den tidligere anti-terror dommer, Jean-Louis Bruguière havde udarbejdet for Kommissionen "bekræfter, at TFTP er vigtigt i forhold til at give nyttige oplysninger i kampen mod terrorisme".
She said the report produced by former anti-terrorist judge Jean-Louis Bruguière for the Commission "confirms that the TFTP is important in providing useful information in the fight against terrorism".
Hun mente, at Europa-Parlamentets afvisning af aftalen ville udgøre "en alvorlig trussel mod sikkerheden" for Europas borgere.
She believed a rejection of the agreement by Parliament would represent "a serious threat to the security" of Europe's citizens.
"Vi ønsker at sikre tryghed og sikkerhed på lige fod med borgerlige frihedsrettigheder og databeskyttelse", sagde Ernst Strasser (PPE, AT) under debatten.
"We want to ensure safety and security, as well as civil liberties and data protection on an equal footing", Ernst Strasser (EPP, AT) told the House.
EU har et "godt partnerskab med USA", men "måden denne tekst blev til på, var ikke rimeligt for os", mente han.
The EU had a "good partnership with the US" but "the way this text came about was not reasonable for us", he argued.
"Vi kan ikke acceptere denne tilstand", sagde Strasser.
"We can't accept this state of affairs", declared Mr Strasser.
"Rådet er kommet med nogle opmuntrende tegn, men det var også det hele," sagde han.
"The Council has made some encouraging signs but that's it, it didn't go beyond that" he added.
"De troede, de kunne slippe af sted med sådan en dårlig aftale, som ikke er i overensstemmelse med de grundlæggende rettigheder ", sagde Martin Schulz (S&D, DE)."Hvordan bliver oplysningerne opbevaret?
Signing this agreement "was a mistake by EU governments" (...) they thought they could get away with such a poor agreement, which is not in line with fundamental rights", said Martin Schulz (S&D, DE).
"Det er en dårlig aftale, vi simpelthen ikke kan bakke op," erklærede han.
"This is a bad agreement that we simply cannot sign up to", he declared.
Beslutningen om SWIFT-aftalen er en "central beslutning for Europa-Parlamentet", og derfor er det vigtigt, at aftalen ikke har de påståede "sikkerhedsmæssige mangler", sagde Sophia In't Veld (ALDE, NL).
SWIFT is a "key decision for the EP to take", and it should be free from claims of an alleged "security gap", said Sophia In't Veld (ALDE, NL).
"Rådets svar er utilstrækkelige", bemærkede hun og tilføjede, at "vores vælgere har ret til at vide, at vi tager databeskyttelse meget alvorligt og ikke bare blåstempler Rådets afgørelser."
Parliament could grant its consent only to an agreement's "substance and procedures", but "the Council's answers are inadequate", she observed, adding that "our voters have the right to know that we take data protection very seriously and don't simply rubber-stamp Council decisions".
"Vi skal stemme den foreløbige aftale ned, ikke udsætte den", sagde Rebecca Harms (DE) for De Grønne/ALE-
"We have to vote down the interim agreement, not defer it", said Rebeca Harms (DE) for the Greens/EFA group.
Timothy Kirkhope (ECR, UK) sagde, at han var "frustreret og vred" over Rådets behandling af Europa-Parlamentet.
Timothy Kirkhope (ECR, UK) said he was "frustrated and angered" by the Council's treatment of Parliament.
"Europa-Parlamentets ret til at samtykke bør ikke bruges som et retrospektivt værktøj", sagde han.
"Parliament's right to consent should not be used as a retrospective tool", he said.
"Endelig får vi nogle forsikringer fra Rådet og Kommissionen i forhold til databeskyttelse, men vi har nu brug mere tid før vi beslutter os," tilføjede han.
"We are finally getting assurances from Council and Commission" on data protection issues, "but we now need some time before proceeding further in our considerations", he added.
Lothar Bisky (GUE / NGL, DE) mente, at den foreløbige aftale var blevet "opnået via en tvivlsom proces," og hvor man søgte at "komme uden om i Europa-Parlamentet."
The interim agreement had been "reached via a dubious process" and sought "to get around the European Parliament", said Lothar Bisky (GUE/NGL, DE).
SWIFT: Europa-Parlamentet afviser midlertidig aftale med USA
SWIFT VOTE : European Parliament votes down agreement with the US
Med Parlamentets afvisning af aftalen kan den ikke blive juridisk bindende.
This move renders the text signed between the US and the 27 EU Member states legally void.
MEP'erne foreslår at forhandle en ny aftale på plads.
MEPs propose to negotiate a new agreement.
Beslutningsforslaget om at afvise aftalen blev vedtaget med 378 stemmer for, 196 imod og 31 hverken for eller imod.
The resolution rejecting the agreement was approved by 378 votes to 196, with 31 abstentions.
"Rådet har ikke stået nok fast på beskyttelse af personoplysninger," sagde Parlamentets ordfører Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert (ADLE, NL) som mente, at aftalens regler om overførsel og opbevaring af personoplysninger var ude af proportioner med formålet.
"Council has not been tough enough on data protection" said rapporteur Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert (ALDE, NL), who argued that the rules on data transfer and storage provided for in the interim agreement were not proportionate to the security supposedly provided.
For fortsat at kunne dele oplysninger om bankoverførsler i kampen mod terrorisme, kan EU og USA benytte sig af en aftale om gensidig juridisk bistand, som gør det muligt at udveksle data inden rammerne af de nationale lovgivninger i medlemslandene.
In order to continue sharing financial data in the purpose of fighting terrorism, the EU and the United States still rely on a Mutual Legal Assistance agreement allowing for exchange of data within the framework of EU member states national law.
I et brev til Parlamentets formand, Jerzy Buzek, meddelte EU-Kommissionen i går, at den "i de kommende uger" vil vedtage et udkast til retningslinjer til forhandlingerne af en langsigtet aftale.
The European Commission announced yesterday, in a letter to EP president Jerzy Buzek, that it is to adopt draft negotiation guidelines for a long term agreement "in the coming weeks".
Disse retningslinjer vil tage hensyn til Parlamentets og Rådets bekymringer' og sikre 'den største respekt for privatlivets fred og databeskyttelse'.
The guidelines "will address the European Parliament and Council's concerns" and ensure "the utmost respect for privacy and data protection".
Her krævede MEP'erne, at en aftale om SWIFT fuldt ud skulle respektere EU-borgernes rettigheder i forhold til beskyttelse af personoplysninger.
In the September 2009 resolution, MEPs demanded that the accord should fully respect the rights of EU citizens with regard to personal data protection.
De insisterede på, at oplysningerne må kun indsamles "med det formål at bekæmpe terrorisme", og at der skal være balance mellem sikkerhedsforanstaltningerne og beskyttelse af borgernes frihedsrettigheder.
The data, they said, should be gathered "only for the purposes of fighting terrorism" and "the right balance" must be struck between security measures and the protection of civil liberties.
Fra debatten den 10. februar 2009
In July 2009, the press revealed that a new agreement was to be negotiated following changes in the structure of SWIFT.
I debatten onsdag eftermiddag gentog de fleste af Parlamentets politiske grupper deres bekymring over den manglende beskyttelse af personoplysninger i den midlertidige aftale mellem EU og USA om overførsel af bankdata via SWIFT-systemet.
The company had set up a storage centre for its European data in Switzerland, which meant that intra-European data was stored only in Europe.
"Rådet er kommet med nogle opmuntrende signaler, men det blev ved det," sagde taleren fra PPE-gruppen.
Until then the data had also been kept on a server in the United States.
S&D, ALDE, De Grønne og GUE-gruppen talte stærkt imod aftalen, mens ECR sagde, at der var brug for mere tid til refleksion.
This new architecture required the negotiation of a fresh agreement between the Commission and Council on the one hand and the United States on the other.
Hun var skuffet over, at EU "fortsætter med at outsource sin sikkerhedstjenester til USA uden nogen form for gensidighed".
The deal was drawn up by EU representatives of hospital employers and workers.
Hun mente også, at reglerne om overførsel og opbevaring af data i den midlertidige aftale var ude af proportioner.
Needle-stick injuries in hospitals can result in the transmission of more than 20 life-threatening viruses, including Hepatitis B, C and HIV.
Repræsentanten for det spanske formandskab, Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba, sagde, at "Terrorist Finance Tracking Programmet" (TFTP) var "et værdifuldt redskab, som har gjort det muligt at forebygge terrorangreb".
In the EU, there are more than one million needle-stick injuries every year, says a resolution drafted by Elisabeth Lynne (ALDE, UK) and Pervenche Bérès (S&D, FR) on behalf of the Employment and Social Affairs Committee.
Ved afslutningen af debatten sagde Pérez Rubalcaba, at han ikke havde beføjelse til at komme med et nyt udkast til en aftale med kort varsel, men han håbede på inden for et par måneder at kunne præsentere resultaterne af forhandlingerne med den amerikanske administration.
The Commission issued a proposal for a Council Directive implementing the agreement signed by the European Hospital and Healthcare Employers' Association (HOSPEEM) and the European Federation of Public Services Union (EPSU).
"Det er derfor, jeg beder jer om mere tid", sagde han.
MEPs recommend adopting and implementing the measures set out in the legislative proposal.
Cecilia Malmström, kommissæren for Indre Anliggender, påpegede, at SWIFT-aftalen "ikke kun er til fordel for USA, men at den kommer alle til gode".
"The framework agreement between the Commission and European social partners will represent an important contribution to the protection of health and safety of workers active in the hospital sector", says the resolution.
Hun mente, at Europa-Parlamentets afvisning af aftalen ville udgøre "en alvorlig trussel mod sikkerheden" for Europas borgere.
MEPs will debate whether to ban the trade in blue fin tuna this week ©Belga The fate of blue fin tuna hangs in the balance this week as a complete ban on the trade is debated by MEPs.
"Vi ønsker at sikre tryghed og sikkerhed på lige fod med borgerlige frihedsrettigheder og databeskyttelse", sagde Ernst Strasser (PPE, AT) under debatten.
Ahead of a meeting of the Convention for the Protection of Endangered Species (CITES) the European Union must thrash out a position on whether to support a ban proposed by Monaco.
EU har et "godt partnerskab med USA", men "måden denne tekst blev til på, var ikke rimeligt for os", mente han.
The Union is divided although recently two key states, France and Italy, have swung around behind stopping the trade.
"Vi kan ikke acceptere denne tilstand", sagde Strasser.
The debate on Tuesday will be crucial to establishing a consensus.
"Rådet er kommet med nogle opmuntrende tegn, men det var også det hele," sagde han.
Blue fin tuna is the most popular and endanged species of tuna.
Martin Schulz (S&D, DE) sagde, at det havde været en "stor fejl af EU's regeringer" at underskrive denne aftale.
The role of the UN body CITES is to regulate trade in animal and plants that are endangered.
"De troede, de kunne slippe af sted med sådan en dårlig aftale, som ikke er i overensstemmelse med de grundlæggende rettigheder ", sagde Martin Schulz (S&D, DE)."Hvordan bliver oplysningerne opbevaret?
The fate of polar bears, African elephants and tigers will also be discussed when its 175 members meet in Doha in March.
Hvordan bliver de gemt?
The European Commission, which runs EU fisheries policy, has already recommended adding blue fin tuna to the CITES list.
Kan jeg få adgang til dem?
"All or nothing decision"
Hvornår bliver de slettet?", spurgte Schulz.
The Chair of Parliament's Environment Committee, German Socialist Jo Leinen told us that "blue fin tuna is seriously under threat of extinction.
"Det er en dårlig aftale, vi simpelthen ikke kan bakke op," erklærede han.
The EU needs to act quickly and stand up for a temporary trade ban at the CITES conference in Qatar".
Beslutningen om SWIFT-aftalen er en "central beslutning for Europa-Parlamentet", og derfor er det vigtigt, at aftalen ikke har de påståede "sikkerhedsmæssige mangler", sagde Sophia In't Veld (ALDE, NL).
Speaking ahead of the debate Saskia Richartz of Greenpeace commented: "This is an all or nothing decision: either we save the blue fin now or we almost certainly condemn the species to extinction”.
"Rådets svar er utilstrækkelige", bemærkede hun og tilføjede, at "vores vælgere har ret til at vide, at vi tager databeskyttelse meget alvorligt og ikke bare blåstempler Rådets afgørelser."
However, Mourad Kahoul of the Euro-Mediterranean Professional Fishers of Tuna Association said: "The biological criteria of CITES necessary to integrate blue fin tuna into the list of endangered species have not been met.
Timothy Kirkhope (ECR, UK) sagde, at han var "frustreret og vred" over Rådets behandling af Europa-Parlamentet.

Forebyggelse af nålestiks-skader i sundhedssektoren
Blue fin tuna got a new lease of life as MEPs strongly supported putting them on a UN list of species in which trade is prohibited.
Parlamentet har tidligere krævet lovgivning for at beskytte mod et af de mest udbredte og alvorlige risici for sundhedspersonale i hele EU.
Prior to Tuesday's vote, many MEPs were in lively form as they traded views on each other and the Barroso II Commission.
Nålestiksskader er blandt de største farer for ansatte i sundhedsvæsenet.
Despite the charged atmosphere, the 488-137 votes in favour told its own story.
Der sker over en million skader om året med risiko for overførsel af mere end 20 livstruende vira, herunder hepatitis B, C og HIV.
Croatia, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Turkey all had their progress towards EU membership reviewed this week.
ICTY-anklager Serge Brammertz: "Balkan er et offer for sin fortid"
Hague Prosecutor Brammertz: Balkans "still suffering" from Yugoslav wars
Vi talte Serge Brammertz, der arbejder som anklager for ICTY.
Chief Prosecutor, Belgian Serge Brammertz held talks with MEPs on the Foreign Affairs Committee on 26 January.
Hvordan vil du vurdere de resultater, som ICTY har opnået gennem årene?
However, cooperation with the ICTY is a precondition of progress towards EU membership.
Er der noget, man kunne have gjort anderledes?
What are the overall lessons learned from Tribunal's work?
Vi har endnu ikke færdiggjort alle processerne, så det er for tidligt at drage nogle endelige konklusioner.
You know, we are not yet at the end of the process, probably it is too early to have a final conclusion.
Det faktum, at vi har rejst tiltale mod 161 personer viser, at tribunalet har spillet en vigtig rolle i håndteringen af de forbrydelser, som er begået i regionen.
I think it is clear that by having indicted 161 persons the tribune has played a major role in addressing the crimes committed in the region.
Naturligvis havde vi i opstartsfasen en række organisatoriske og logistiske problemer, men ser vi på antallet af af retsforfølgelser, mener jeg godt, at vi samlet set kan være tilfredse med indsatsen.
Of course the Tribunal in its initial phase had a number of organisational, logistical problems to deal with.
Også i bredere forstand har tribunalet spillet en rolle.
But I think at the end of the day if we look at the number of cases prosecuted I think it has been quite successful.
ICTY var forgænger til Den Internationale Krigsforbryderdomstol for Rwanda, Den Særlige Domstol for Sierra Leone, Tribunalet i Cambodja og Den Internationale Straffedomstol (ICC).
In a broader context, you know that after the Tribunal, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), the Special Court for Sierra Leone and Cambodia we have the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Jeg mener, at erfaringerne med disse ad hoc-domstole har spillet en vigtig rolle for oprettelsen af ICC som permanent domstol.
I think the experience with the ad hoc tribunals has played a major role in the creation of the ICC as a permanent tribunal.
Vi har millionvis af dokumentsider, og vi har tusindvis af ofre, der har vidnet gennem de sidste 16 år.
We have thousands of victims who have testified during these 16 years.
Men vi er ikke i stand til at præsentere nogen konkrete tal, da vores tal er meget relative og forskelligartede.
Figures are relative and differ in terms of victims.
Nogle ofre har mistet deres liv, andre har været udsat for voldtægt, mens endnu andre har mistet deres familier.
There are victims who have lost their lives, victims of rape, victims who lost their families.
Det eneste gode scenarie er, at vi når at arrestere de pågældende, mens domstolen stadig eksisterer, hvilket vil sige indenfor de næste to til tre år.
The only good scenario is that the fugitives are arrested during the lifetime of the Tribunal, which means the next two or three years.
Den skal beskæftige sig med anmodninger om vidnebeskyttelse og vil desuden også have en domstolskomponent - en slags "sovende domstol", der kan aktiveres, hvis
This mechanism will also have a tribunal component - a kind of a "sleeping tribunal" to be activated if one of the fugitives is arrested at a later stage.
