Kun hvis disse spørgsmål kan besvares positivt, bør vi i Europa-Parlamentet agere som lovgiver," sagde han.
Only if these questions can be answered in the affirmative should we go into action as legislators in the European Parliament.
Han mente desuden, at Parlamentet skal udtrykke sin respekt for det engagement, de europæiske borgere udviser.
We, the European Parliament, he stated, should not only be at pains to represent citizens’ interests.
Hans foreslog derfor en pris for unge europæere, samt oprettelsen af et 'hus for den europæiske historie".
We should also show our respect for the dedication of European citizens who by their work are raising Europe’s profile – in Europe and in the world.
Dialog som varemærke
We should introduce a European Parliament award for that.
Angela MERKEL, den tyske forbundskansler og formand for Rådet, lagde ud med at fokusere på Pötterings lange historie i Parlamentet.
Mr Poettering expressed his gratitude for the invitation he received to address the Israeli Parliament, the Knesset.
Hun bifaldt Parlamentets rolle i forhold til REACH-forordningen, servicedirektivet og de finansielle perspektiver.
She congratulated the EP on its role in the REACH chemicals regulation, the services directive and the financial perspective.
Merkel understregede, at spørgsmålet om forfatningstraktaten var vigtigt for, at EU med 27 medlemslande kan fungere effektivt.
This led her to speak of the European constitution, which she said was "crucial for the effectiveness of an EU of 27 Member States".
Hun ville sætte alt ind for at få en afklaring inden europa-parlamentsvalget i 2009, "så borgerne ved hvilket Europa, de stemmer for".
She mentioned her presidency's already announced "roadmap" for the constitution, saying it was important at the next European elections in 2009 "for the public to know what they are voting for".
I forhold til det kommende topmøde den 8.- 9. marts nævnte kansleren klimaændringer og energi, som de store prioriteter.
Turning to the upcoming EU summit of 8-9 March, the Chancellor described climate change and energy as top priorities.
Målet må være at nedbringe CO2 udledningerne med 30 % inden 2020, sagde Merkel.
The aim must be "by 2020 to cut CO2 emissions by 30%".
I forhold til mødet om Europas fremtid den 23-25 marts ville fokus være på udenrigspolitikken, sikkerhed og forsvar.
The conference on the future of Europe, on 23-25 March, would deal with external policy, security and defence.
Merkel var enig med Pöttering i, at interkulturel dialog er noget, der skal veje tungt i debatten om Europas fremtid.
In this connection, she welcomed the Mr Poettering's reference to intercultural dialogue as a policy priority of the EP.
Han understregede, som Pöttering, at den kulturelle og religiøse mangfoldighed i Europa er en stærk europæisk værdi.
Mr Barroso said the planned Declaration on the future of Europe, to be signed in Berlin on 25 March, represents "a confirmation of what the EU is for, and its mission statement "for the twenty first century.
Han appellerede desuden til at til at nå frem til en løsning på forfatningstraktatproblemet.
He repeated his call to the Member States to find a solution to the constitutional treaty, pointing out that "all governments signed the treaty".
"Se bare på, de positive ting, EU gør for borgerne i hverdagen - det skal man have ond vilje for ikke at anerkende," sagde Daul, og lagde i sit indlæg vægt på borgernærheden og tolerance.
Mr Daul stressed the need for dialogue among cultures and among religions, both for mutual enrichment and to combat racism, intolerance, exclusion and xenophobia.
EU bør have en fælles indvandringspolitik og en globaliseringstrategi, mente formanden for PPE-DE.
Europe also needs a common strategy on globalisation, which strives to combine free competition, high employment rates and full social protection, he added.
Martin SCHULZ (PSE, DE) mente at det var vigtigt, at det lykkes at få en reform af institutionerne i EU.
"Europe is a positive idea, which my group supports" echoed Martin SCHULZ (PES, DE), contrasting its inter-cultural and economic co-operation, and territorial integration, with the "dark hatred and repression around our borders".
Han mente, at Rådet var en bedste eksempel på den mangel på kontinuitet, der gør det svært at komme videre i Europa.
Addressing himself to Chancellor Merkel, Mr Schulz described the Council as a "prime example of the lack of continuity", that makes it difficult to act.
Schultz var tilfreds med, at det sociale Europa endelig var kommet på dagsordenen.
By way of example, he cited the difficulty of getting agreement on binding environment protection targets.
Jeg er glad for, at vi i løbet af to et halvt år er kommet så langt, at vi er enige om det," sagde Martin Schultz.
Communism in eastern Europe had been defeated not by the USA, but by the peoples of Europe's own new democracies, he concluded.
Graham WATSON (ALDE, UK) lagde i sin tale vægt på den vigtige rolle, Europa-Parlamentet har fået siden 1979.
Graham WATSON (ALDE, UK) said Hans-Gert Poettering brings a rare sense of perspective to the President's post, thanks to the extensive experience he has acquired since 1979, noted ALDE Chairman Graham Watson.
"Det er i stadig stigende grad Europa-Parlamentet, der må gå foran, når f.eks. Kommissionen og Rådet går for langt i terrorbekæmpelsen, så det truer vores rettigheder, sagde Watson, der håbede, at Pöttering i de kommende to et halvt år kunne være med til at sikre, at Parlamentet blev bedre i stand til at udføre disse opgaver.
Citizens must be able to look to "a House resurgent and outspoken, holding the Council and the Member States to account when their action against terrorism rides roughshod over the rights we cherish, forging consensus on the single market in services or on consumer protection measures, and working with national parliaments to scrutinise the executive".
Et Parlament, der mødes hver uge i plenum og som ikke stemmer i timevis for at flytte et semikolon, var på listen over Watsons ønsker.
Addressing himself to Chancellor Merkel, Mr Watson said that "qualified majority voting in Council and co-decision with the European Parliament as a co-decision is now needed in all areas of policy-making, if the checks and balances of democracy are to work at European level."
Brian CROWLEY (UEN, IRL) mente, at tilstedeværelsen af Merkel og Barroso var en vigtig indikator for, at der bliver lyttet mere til Europa-Parlamentet.
Brian CROWLEY (UEN, IE), speaking for the UEN group, began his speech in Irish and said that he welcomed President Poettering's experience and that the President had large support within the House.
I forhold til forfatningstraktaten sagde han: "Borgerne er trætte af snak om institutionelle ændringer - borgerne vil have handling".
The European Parliament, he said, should be the voice of reason, peace and vision and above all a "voice for the voiceless".
Monica FRASSONI (Verts/ALE, IT) var enig med formandens pointer, som hun dog fandt en smule vage.
Monica FRASSONI (IT), speaking for the Greens/EFA group, said Europe had to make specific choices.
Hun mente ligeledes, at der skulle komme et initiativ til at åbne debatten om Europa-Parlamentets hjemsted.
Finally, Ms Frassoni stressed the need to examine the issue of the seat of the European Parliament as well as making the Parliament ecologically sustainable.
Francis WURTZ (GUE/NGL, FR) mente at der var behov for at forsvare den Europæiske socialmodel.
For the GUE/NGL group, Francis WURTZ ( FR) spoke of the need to defend the European social model.
Han opfordrede Parlamentet til at forkaste forslaget om liberalisering af posttjenesterne.
He called for the Parliament to reject the proposed liberalisation of the postal services sector.
Würtz var glad for Pötterings planlagte besøg i Mellemøsten og for hans engagement i forhold til at fremme den kulturelle dialog.
He welcomed President Poettering's commitment to visit the Middle East and the President's engagement on the dialogue of cultures.
Jens-Peter BONDE (IND/DEM, DK) mente, at den EU-glade Hans-Gert Pöttering skulle unde sig selv en folkeafstemning, så det tyske folk selv kunne sige, hvor glade de var for flere EU-regler.
Jens-Peter BONDE (IND/DEM, DK) highlighted the huge amount of legislation in national law now emanating from Brussels and the number of rules and regulations produced and called for greater openness and transparency.
"Embedsmændene i Bruxelles og dommerne i Luxembourg lider af volumensyge og demokratiangst.
He had no confidence in the "summit knows best" approach rather than listening to the direct voices of the people.
De har ikke fattet tidens trend om slanke organisationer, decentralt ansvar og outsourcing", sagde Jens-Peter Bonde, der ligesom Pöttering har været medlem af Parlamentet siden 1979.
He wanted "no more treaties which are not subject to referenda throughout the Member States."
Bruno GOLLNISCH (ITS, FR) mente, at forfatningstraktaten ville have blevet afvist mere bredt, hvis flere lande havde fået lov til at gå til folkeafstemning.
Bruno GOLLNISCH (ITS, FR) spoke of four crucial points from European history: Greek philosophy, Roman Law, Judeo Christian religion and the Enlightenment.
Folkeretten er tilstrækkelig, sagde Gollnisch.
Do we have the precision of Roman Law or produce a "squillion" verbose texts?
Hun mente desuden, at der i forhold til valget af formand for Parlamentet skulle gives mulighed for, at nogle af de mindre grupper skulle have større mulighed for at blive formand.
Irena BELOHORSKÁ (NI, SK) asked for greater consideration to be given in the future to the needs of the smaller political groups and to the smaller countries.
Hun mente heller ikke, at der bliver gjort nok for at sikre ligheden at kvinder og mænd i Parlamentet.
She also highlighted the need for a closer look at the Parliament's staffing requirements in terms of appropriate qualifications.

Parlamentet ønsker bedre udnyttelse af affald
Passenger Name Records//SWIFT - MEPs stress improvements needed on data transfer to US
I sin betænkning om revisionen af rammedirektivet for affald påpeger ordføreren Caroline JACKSON (ALDE, UK), at der skal være bindende mål for, hvor meget affald der må produceres.
(a) the establishment of privacy officers and/or an independent privacy agency within the federal administration, who are to undertake privacy assessments of all initiatives that could potentially impinge on privacy;
Medlemslandene skal fra 2008 til 2012 stabilisere deres produktion af affald - altså ikke producere mere i 2012 end i 2008.
(b) setting up a mechanism to guarantee US citizens a right of appeal in the event of incorrect use of their data;
Desuden skal medlemslandene senest i 2010 udforme en politik for økodesign af produkter, som skal mindske de farlige stoffer i affaldet og fremme udviklingen af holdbare, genbrugelige og genanvendelige produkter.
MEPs believe, however, that these improvements are insufficient as regards data protection for EU citizens and that it would be warmly welcomed if the 1974 Privacy Act could also apply to EU citizens on a reciprocity basis in order for them to have access to their data, including rectification and modification, as well as having access to a legal redress mechanism and to an independent data protection authority.
Parlamentet ønsker i den forbindelse at udvide producenternes ansvar for det affald, deres produkter skaber.
MEPs stress that, in addition to the points already adopted by Parliament in September, a future long-term PNR agreement should be founded on the following principles:
Parlamentet ønskede i betænkningen at holde fast i den nuværende inddeling af affaldet i et 'affaldshierarki', som er en prioriteret rækkefølge for, hvad medlemslandene skal gøre med affaldet.
(d) a future agreement must be based on an adequacy finding with regard to the protection of personal data; from the European side, it is clear that rules for the protection of personal data in the third pillar are urgently needed, as well as global standards covering all categories of personal data;
Rækkefølgen er: 1) forebyggelse og nedbringelse af affald, 2)genbrug af affald, 3) genanvendelse af affald 4) andre nyttiggørelsesoperationer, 5) sikker og miljøvenlig bortskaffelse af affald.
(e) there must be a regular evaluation of the programme's data protection adequacy and effectiveness, involving the EP and, if possible, the US Congress; an annual evaluation must be part of any future agreement; the evaluation report must be made public, and must be submitted to the European Parliament;
Parlamentet ønsker som hovedprincip, at der skal fokuseres på at nedbringe mængderne af affald, og afviste derfor et forslag fra Kommissionen om at 'omklassificere' forbrændingsanlæg for husholdningsaffald, så forbrændingen af husholdningsaffald bliver betragtet som en 'nyttiggørelse' af affaldet.
(g) the conditions currently laid down in the US undertakings must become an integral part of the agreement and must be legally binding; a future agreement must have more democratic legitimacy, with full involvement of the European Parliament and/or ratification by national parliaments;
Under debatten mandag aften kom Dan JØRGENSEN (PSE, DK) ind på denne problematik.
(h) in any case, a future agreement must be based on the PUSH system and the PULL system should no longer be acceptable given that PUSH should already have been introduced under the previous agreement, as soon as it was technically feasible;
"Der er i Kommissionens forslag ikke nogen særlig stor forskel på, om man genbruger affald, eller om man afbrænder affald, hvis det afbrændte affald bliver brugt til at skabe energi.
(i) passengers should be informed of the transfer of PNR records and have access to their data, including rectifying and modifying them, as well as having legal recourse to a legal mechanism or to an independent data protection authority;
Og det er forkert!
As regards the access to SWIFT data
Det bliver kaldt nyttiggørelse begge dele, men her bedrager skindet altså, for der er kæmpestor forskel på - ud fra en miljøvinkel - hvor nyttige de forskellige processer er," sagde Dan Jørgensen.
Parliament considers it very worrying that this situation, in breach of the ECHR and the Charter of Fundamental Rights, as well as of the Treaties and secondary law (Directive 95/46 and Regulation 45/2001), has not been strongly criticised at an earlier stage either by the ECB or by the Group of 10 Central Banks that oversee SWIFT's activities, and that it is only recently that European banks and their customers have been made aware of the situation through press reports;
I forhold til genbrug og genanvendelse var Parlamentet med til at sikre klare mål: 50% af husholdningsaffald og 70 % af byggeaffald skal fra 2020 genbruges eller genanvendes.
The House strongly regrets the fact that, several months after these matters came to light, the Council has not yet taken a stance on this subject affecting so many citizens, consumers and enterprises, and that only seven out of 27 Member States have responded to the questionnaire sent by the Commission to obtain clarifications on respect for national and Community data protection laws.
Parlamentets store ambitioner for affaldsdirektivet efter førstebehandlingen lægger op til svære forhandlinger med Rådet.
The House repeats its concerns as regards the current system of supervision of SWIFT whose responsibility belongs to the Group of 10 Central Banks, with oversight by the ECB, but without formal competence; calls on the Council and the ECB to reflect together on the way to improve this system so as to ensure proper functioning of the alert process with full consequences in terms of action to be taken.
I dag bliver op til 90 % af husholdningsaffaldet i visse medlemsstater smidt på lossepladsen.
MEPs endorse the opinion expressed by the EDPS on the role of the ECB and calls on the ECB:
Betænkningen blev vedtaget med stort flertal 662 for, 17 imod og 3 undlod.
– as user of the SWIFTNet-Fin, to explore solutions to bring its payment operations into compliance with data protection legislation, and to prepare a report on measures taken no later than April 2007;
Temastrategien er en af de syv temastrategier under det 6. miljøhandlingsprogram (2002-2012), og har til formål at mindske mængderne af affald, at styrke genbrugsaktiviteterne, at modernisere og at forenkle affaldslovgivningen samt at forbedre udførelsen af lovene.
– as policymaker, to ensure, in cooperation with central banks and financial institutions, that European payment systems, including the updated system for wholesale payments "TARGET2", are fully compliant with European data protection law; calls for the ECB to provide the European Parliament with the assessment of such compliance;
Parlamentet fremhæver også i denne betænkning den centrale betydning af affaldshierakiet og mener, at politiske beslutninger såsom definitioner på affald, nyttiggørelse og bortskaffelse skal træffes af Rådet og Parlamentet i fælles beslutningstagen og ikke ved komitologiprocedurer, som kun bør bruges, når det er beslutninger af videnskabelig og teknisk karakter.
MEPs believe that the EU and the US are fundamental and loyal allies in the fight against terrorism and that this legislative framework should therefore be the basis for the negotiation of a possible international agreement, based on the assumption that SWIFT as a Belgian company is subject to Belgian law and is consequently responsible for the treatment of data in accordance with Article 4(1) of Directive 95/46.
Parlamentet beklager de manglende kvalitative og kvantitative mål for reduktion af alle typer affald, og beder Kommissionen om i forbindelse med den endelige evaluering af det sjette miljøhandlingsprogram at fremsætte forslag til konkrete mål.
The House points out that the natural consequence would be for SWIFT to be obliged to stop its current practice of mirroring all data concerning EU citizens and enterprises in its US site or to move its alternative database site outside US jurisdiction.
MEP'erne finder det desuden uforståeligt, at der på trods af et forslag om revision af affaldsrammedirektivet stadig mangler konkrete gennemførelsesforanstaltninger.
Parliament draws attention to the fact that SWIFT provides services elsewhere than in Europe and in the US and therefore considers that any measure adopted should take into account the global aspect of SWIFT's services.

Tyrkiet: Kvinders rettigheder skal forbedres
CIA activities in Europe: European Parliament adopts final report deploring passivity from some Member States
Tyrkiets gennemførelse af de love, der skal sikre kvinders rettigheder, har været mangelfuld.
The report, which deplores the passivity of some Member States in the face of illegal CIA operations, as well as the lack of co-operation from the EU Council of Ministers, was approved by a majority of 382 against 256 with 74 abstentions.
Parlamentet fremhæver endnu en gang, at respekt for menneskerettighederne, herunder kvinders rettigheder, er en ufravigelig betingelse for medlemskab af EU.
"Secret detention facilities", it explains, can also include places where somebody is held incommunicado, such as "hotel rooms," as in the case of Khaled El-Masri in Skopje.
I Parlamentets egen initiativbetænkning af Emine BOZKURT (PSE, NL) om kvinders rolle i Tyrkiet, belyser ordføreren forskellige områder, hvor der er grund til at være på vagt.
In an amendment passed with a narrow majority (356 to 323), MEPs noted that, in light of the available "circumstantial evidence", "it is not possible to acknowledge or deny that secret detention centres were based in Poland."
Parlamentet glæder sig over, at den aktive fase i tiltrædelsesforhandlingerne mellem Tyrkiet og EU er gået i gang, men beklager, at reformprocessen i Tyrkiet i løbet af det seneste år er skredet langsommere frem, og påpeger, at der fortsat er problemer med kvinders rettigheder.
However, notes the report, "seven of the fourteen detainees" transferred from a secret detention facility to Guantánamo in September 2006 coincide with those mentioned in a report by ABC News (published in December 2005) listing the identities of twelve top Al Qaeda suspects held in Poland.
Parlamentet gentager derfor sin opfordring fra tidligere beslutningsforslag til en fuldstændig og effektiv gennemførelse af lovgivningen om kvinders rettigheder i landet.
In their report, MEPs mention up to 21 well-documented cases of extraordinary rendition: rendition victims were transferred through a European country or were residents in a European State at the time of their kidnapping.
Parlamentet understreger, at kvindernes rettigheder er blevet styrket siden den nye straffelov trådte i kraft i juni 2005, men der er stadig hængepartier i forhold til at gennemføre EU's direktiver om ligestilling mellem mænd og kvinder.
- the international community turned a blind eye when the decisions of the Supreme Court and the Human Rights Chamber of Bosnia and Herzegovina, ordering the release of six Algerian men from custody, failed to be implemented -- action which resulted in their subsequent rendition to Guantanamo.
MEP'erne er desuden foruroligede over de forsøg, der har været på at ophæve lovgivningen om kvinders rettigheder.
Mr. Solana, they add, “was unable to supplement the evidence already in the possession of the temporary committee.”
Vold mod kvinder
Political recommendations
Parlamentet fordømmer voldelige handlinger mod kvinder, herunder æresdrab, vold mod kvinder i hjemmet, tvangsægteskaber og polygami, og beder den tyrkiske regering og Kommissionen om at prioritere spørgsmålet om vold i almindelighed og æresforbrydelser i særdeleshed.
With a view to the conclusion of the TDIP's mandate, and acknowledging that Committee's conclusions were not "exhaustive", the final report encourages governments and/or national parliaments to launch (or to pursue) independent investigations.
Det er vigtigt med en systematisk efterforskning og effektive sanktioner, mener Parlamentet, der opfordrer de tyrkiske institutioner til at søsætte kampagner, der kan øge bevidstheden om, at vold mod kvinder og børn er en alvorlig overtrædelse af menneskerettighederne.
MEPs also instruct the Civil Liberties Committee to follow up the proceedings of the TDIP, to monitor developments and, should the Council and/or the Commission not take action -- to determine whether there is a clear risk of a serious breach of the EU's principles and values, "and to recommend [...] any resolution, taking as a basis Articles 6 and 7 of the Treaty on European Union, which may prove necessary in this context".
Kvinder i politik
67 New at plenary.
Parlamentet mener, at kvinders deltagelse i det politiske liv i Tyrkiet er alt for beskeden.
Welcomes the meeting in London with the UK Minister for Europe and the fact that the UK Government supplied documents and explanations; notes that the UK authorities could not answer all the questions raised by the Temporary Committee delegation to London.
UNICEF skønner, at der hvert år er mellem 600.000 og 800.000 piger i den undervisningspligtige alder, der enten bliver forhindret af deres familier i at gå i skole eller ikke går i skole på grund af logistiske problemer.
Notes the 170 stopovers made by CIA-operated aircraft at UK airports and expresses serious concern about the purpose of those flights which came from or were bound for countries linked with extraordinary rendition circuits and the transfer of detainees.
