Passagererne skal også kunne kræve kompensation, hvis selskabet kan gøres ansvarlig for forsinkelser på internationale forbindelser.
The European Railway Agency will draw up a report 18 months after the directive enters into force, to identify any other train staff performing safety-critical tasks who should be subject to a similar system of licences.
Denne kompensation udgør 25 % af rejsens pris for forsinkelser på mellem 60 og 120 minutter, og 50 % af rejsens pris for forsinkelser på over 120 minutter.
Following pressure from Parliament, whose rapporteur was Gilles Savary (PES, FR), no more than 12 months after this the Commission must present a report accompanied, if appropriate, by a proposal for a new law.
Medlemsstaterne kan undtage fjerntrafiktjenester, som udføres indenrigs, fra forordningens øvrige bestemmelser i en indledende periode på fem år, og denne periode kan dernæst forlænges i yderligere to perioder på op til fem år.
Gilles Savary said he was satisfied that by 2012 crew members other than train drivers performing safety-critical tasks may be included within the scope of the directive; one of Parliament's wishes in the negotiations with Council.
De kan også give undtagelser på ubestemt tid for befordringstjenester i byområder og omkringliggende områder samt regionale befordringstjenester.
He could accept the proposal that the European Railway Agency will table a report, 18 months after the directive enters into force, identifying this staff and that the Commission, no more than 12 months thereafter, is to table a report accompanied by a proposal for a new law.
Jernbanevirksomhederne skal underrette passagererne om deres rettigheder og forpligtelser efter forordningen.
The regulation on the rights and obligations of rail passengers was originally intended to apply only to passengers on international journeys but MEPs successfully fought to include passengers on domestic journeys.
De skal også indføre ikke-diskriminerende adgangsregler for befordring af handicappede og bevægelseshæmmede.
Under the deal reached between the two institutions, when the law enters into force in 2009 all rail passengers will enjoy a set of basic rights (e.g. regarding rail companies' liability for passengers and their luggage, and the right to transport of people with reduced mobility).
På ubemandede stationer skal jernbanevirksomhederne gøre deres bedste for at sørge for, at handicappede og bevægelseshæmmede kan komme med toget.
Member States may exempt long-distance domestic rail services from the provisions of the regulation on non-basic rights (e.g. the right to take a bicycle on the train), for an initial period of five years, which may subsequently be extended for two further periods of up to five years.
Befordring af barnevogne og kørestole er omfattet af forordningens bestemmelser.
Urban, suburban and regional services can be granted an indefinite exemption from those same provisions.
Endvidere skal passagererne have mulighed for evt. mod betaling at medtage cykler i et tog, forudsat "at de let kan håndteres, at det rullende materiel tillader dette, og at jernbanetjenesten ikke påvirkes heraf i uheldig retning".
When the law enters into force, compensation in the event of delays on cross-border services will be 25% of the fare for a delay of 60 minutes or more and 50% for a delay of 120 minutes or more, but only if the operator can be held responsible for the delay.
Certificering af jernbanepersonale
It had been very difficult to convince all Member States that a range of basic rights for passengers should be introduced.
Direktivet indebærer, at jernbanepersonale skal være i besiddelse af et certifikat, der viser, at de opfylder de minimumskrav, der stilles til helbred og psykologisk egnethed, grundlæggende skoleuddannelse og generelle faglige kvalifikationer.
"The proposals were originally intended to apply only to international journeys, but thanks to this agreement we have succeeded in extending it to include passengers on domestic journeys".
I første omgang gælder direktivet kun for lokomotivførere.
He admitted that the exemptions for railway undertakings up to 15 years were not what Parliament had wished, but said that the agreement as such was important step forward.
Men Parlamentets ordfører Gilles SAVARY (PSE, FR) fremhæver, at direktivet med tiden kan blive udvidet til at omfatte andre personalegrupper.
The chair of Parliament's negotiating team, Vice-President Alejo Vidal-Quadras (EPP-ED, ES) said: "This is a genuinely European law.
Det lykkedes nemlig Parlamentets delegation til Forligsudvalget at sikre, at Kommissionen senest 30 måneder efter direktivets ikrafttræden skal forelægge en rapport om togpersonale, der varetager sikkerhedsopgaver.
It gets away from old-fashioned obsessions with national borders and gives basic rights to passengers on all railway journeys (not just to those on international services, as the Council wanted).
I de tilfælde skal Kommissionen fremlægge et lovgivningsmæssigt forslag vedrørende det omtalte personale.
In particular, passengers on all long-distance journeys will be treated the same, whether or not their journey crosses national borders."

Sukker: Producenterne skal kompenseres bedre for omstruktureringerne
Sugar: more compensation for restructuring, say MEPs
Parlamentet vedtog tirsdag to betænkninger i forhold til sukkerreformen og de kommende omstruktureringer for sukkerindustrien.
In a consultative vote on the European Commission's plans for speeding up reform of the sugar sector, the European Parliament today called for improvements to the way the restructured sugar regime will operate, to avoid arbitrarily reducing quotas and thereby penalising the European sugar industry.
Parlamentet ønsker at kompensere producenterne yderligere for omstruktureringerne.
The reform launched in 2006, which was meant to restore the balance to the European sugar market by cutting prices and production, has not produced all the desired effects.
I februar 2006 enedes EU's landbrugsministre om en reform af sukkerproduktionen i EU.
In May 2007, the Commission unveiled a package of proposals seeking to make this regime more attractive to encourage producers to give up around 3.8 Mt in quotas.
Den gamle sukkerordning var blevet uholdbar.
MEPs were voting on two reports by Katerina Batzeli (PES, EL) under the consultation procedure.
Prisen på sukker var tre gange højere end verdensmarkedsprisen.
Parliament also stresses the need for undertakings to devise business development plans to diversify revenue and employment.
Det var blevet konstateret, at EU's eksportsystem var i modstrid med de internationale handelsregler.
In addition, MEPs want there to be an option for the restructuring fund to continue operating for one extra year if necessary.
Desuden vil EU fra 2009 åbne sit marked helt for import fra de 49 fattigste lande i verden.
Under the Commission proposal, beet growers will be able to take the initiative to renounce up to 10% of an undertaking's quota.
Men reformen, som skulle genskabe balancen på det europæiske sukkermarked ved at sænke priserne og produktionen, har ikke helt haft den ønskede effekt.
MEPs believe that in this context priority must be given to small-scale growers so that they can renounce, on favourable terms, the right to transport beet.
I maj 2007 kom EU-Kommissionen derfor med nogle forslag, som skulle gøre det attraktivt for sukkerproducenterne at opgive en del af produktionen.
Parliament also calls for 100% compensation in the case of firms which partially dismantle their production facilities provided they shift towards bioethanol production.
Støtte til producenter og regioner
Boosting aid for producers and regions
Parlamentet ønsker blandt andet, at virksomheder skal have mulighed for at gennemføre omstruktureringen ad to omgange.
In the first two years of the reform this same could vary from Member State to Member State provided it is not less than 10%.
De, der allerede har ansøgt om at give afkald på kvoter, skal have mulighed for at søge igen om yderligere afgivelse af kvoter senest den 30. april 2008.
Parliament wants to increase from €237.5 to €260 euros per tonne of quota renounced the additional aid to beet growers - which the Commission proposes to grant for 2008/09 and retroactively for growers who have already abandoned production over the two years of the reform.
MEP'erne ønsker også, at producenterne skal have 25 % af omstruktureringsstøtten modsat Kommissionens forslag på 10 %.
If a linear reduction of national quotas is needed in 2010, Parliament believes this too should be carried out in two stages.
Forlængelse af ordning frem til 2015
Withdrawal from the market
Da initiativet "Alt undtagen våben" vil træde i kraft fuldt ud fra 2010 (hvilket gør det muligt for tredjelande at eksportere sukker toldfrit til EU), ønsker Parlamentet at udvide anvendelsen af ordningen med forebyggende tilbagetrækning frem til 2015.
Given the full implementation and entry into force from 2010 of the 'Everything But Arms' initiative (which will allow developing countries to export sugar duty-free to the EU), MEPs believe it is essential to extend up to 2015 the application of the scheme allowing preventive withdrawal of a part of production if there is a surplus on the European market.
Efter Parlamentets mening vil det give EU mulighed for fortsat at kunne håndtere ustabilitet på markedet og prisudsving.
In addition, the EP wants the Commission to take any decision on withdrawals for 2008/09 by 4 February 2008 (instead of 16 March, as in other years) so that beet growers can act accordingly before the sowing season.
Efter at have debatteret hele formiddagen vedtog MEP'erne onsdag to initiativbetænkninger, som forholder sig til en plan for lovlig indvandring og til bekæmpelsen af ulovlig indvandring.
MEPs debated and voted today on two own-initiative reports relating to a policy plan for legal migration and the priorities in the fight against illegal immigration.
Parlamentet var åben over for muligheden for at skabe en EU-arbejdstilladelse til højtuddannede, det såkaldte "blue card"
The own-initiative report, aimed to elaborate a plan on legal migration, "supports the creation of an EU work permit" -Known as the blue card, similar idea to the current US green card- "to facilitate the free movement of 'brains' within Europe and the transfer of personnel within multinational companies".
Efter at have debatteret hele formiddagen vedtog MEP'erne onsdag to initiativbetænkninger, som forholder sig til en plan for lovlig indvandring og til bekæmpelsen af ulovlig indvandring.
MEPs also ask to bring forward a study on the possible implementation of the blue-card system but reminded that defining the specific needs and quotas for economic migrants remains a Member State competence.
Parlamentet var åben over for muligheden for at skabe en EU-arbejdstilladelse til højtuddannede, det såkaldte "blue card".
The text adopted supports the intention of the Commission to define the conditions of entry and stay for other selected categories of economic immigrants, including unskilled or low-skilled workers.
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog onsdag to initiativbetænkninger om dels en politisk plan for lovlig migration, dels de politiske prioriteter i forbindelse med bekæmpelsen af ulovlig indvandring.
"Spreading the belief that immigration is uncontrolled is wrong", said MEPs and Europe should avoid the danger of exploiting the debate on migration "for demagogic and populist purposes".
EU har brug for lovlig indvandring
Fight against illegal immigration
I øjeblikket opholder der sig hen ved 18,5 millioner tredjelandsstatsborgere som lovlige indvandrere i EU (Kilde: Eurostat).
Javier Moreno Sánchez (PES, ES) presented the second own initiative report on policy priorities in the fight against illegal immigration.
Det er knap 4 % af EU's totale befolkning.
The regularisation issue
I den betænkning, som Lilli GRUBER (PSE, IT) var ordfører for understreges det, at Europa har brug for indvandring på grund af befolkningens aldring og arbejdsmarkedets udvikling.
The report recalls that numerous Member States have carried out regularisations or said they will do so, and that these decisions are, in the present state of law, a matter for the discretion of the Member States "but quite often a signal of lack of appropriate measures in place".
Det støtter tanken om at forenkle ansøgningsprocessen for opholds- og arbejdstilladelser.
The report deeply regrets the fact that some Member States have failed to honour their undertakings to provide logistic and human support for its operations.
Samtidig støtter det tanken om en såkaldt "Blue Card"-ordning for indvandrere med særlige kvalifikationer (i lighed med den amerikanske "Green Card"-ordning; red.).
The number of third-country nationals in an irregular situation in the EU appears to be, according to somewhat conflicting estimates, between 4.5 m and 8 m.
Kampen mod illegal indvandring
Parliament debated the EU's policies on immigration, with MEPs voting on two reports on legal migration and illegal immigration.
Javier MORENO SÁNCHEZ (PSE, ES), stod bag den anden initiativbetænkning, som blev vedtaget onsdag med 418 stemmer for, 81 imod og 8 der undlod.
Many speakers recalled the tragic images of migrants being drowned in the Mediterranean, with others calling for the EU's external border force, Frontex, to be strengthened.
Generel amnesti løser ikke problemet
Illegal employment
FRONTEX skal indsættes til redningsoperationer til søs
Finally, the Council is looking at ways to build balanced partnerships with third countries, so as to facilitate temporary "circular" migration, he said.
Betænkningen beklager, at nogle medlemsstater ikke har levet op til deres forpligtelse til at yde logistisk støtte m.v. til det europæiske grænseagentur, FRONTEX.
Commission Vice-President Franco FRATTINI who is responsible for justice, freedom and security, stressed that a global approach was needed to migration, above all because of the underlying causes such as poverty that pushed people to emigrate.
Medlemmerne mener, at FRONTEX's opgaver bør udvides til at omfatte redningsoperationer til søs.
He added that free migration within the EU itself was not yet a reality but, on the demographic issue, believed more should be done to encourage people to have children.
Op til 8 millioner illegale indvandrere i Europa
This could be an answer to Europe's need for highly-skilled workers while not exacerbating the brain drain from poorer countries.
Der mangler af gode grunde pålidelige statistikker vedrørende antallet af ulovlige indvandrere i EU, men tallet skønnes at være mellem 4,5 og 8 millioner.
Legislation on common rights for economic migrants, with a single work and residence permit in one document, was another measure on the table.
Parlamentet vil den kommende tid skulle vedtage to vigtige lovforslag på det område, nemlig et forslag om fælles regler for hjemsendelse af illegale indvandrere og et forslag om at straffe arbejdsgivere der benytter sig at illegal arbejdskraft.
Lastly, while stressing that illegal migration must not be tolerated, the Commissioner lauded the role of Frontex in saving 1200 people from the sea over the summer but concluded by warning that Europe would need to work on immigration issues for many years to come.
Fra debatten onsdag formiddag
Rapporteur - legal migration
I forhold til lovlig indvandring sagde han, at EU har behov for indvandrere, ikke kun på grund af fald i befolkningstallet, men også for at gøre økonomien mere konkurrencedygtig.
Secure frontiers were important but he stressed that Frontex was proving effective, although the Member States must ensure it had adequate resources.
Frattini talte også om det foreslåede "Blue Card" for højt kvalificerede indvandrere.
The question of political will was crucial to dealing with employers of illegal migrant labour and he called for zero tolerance of illegal employment.
Det kunne være en løsning på Europas behov for kvalificeret arbejdskraft.
Lastly, Mr Moreno Sánchez underlined the link between migration and development, saying that migrants must not be regarded as criminals.
Fra Socialistgruppen var det Claudio FAVA , (PES, IT), der talte.
Claudio FAVA (PES, IT) recalled the images of forty migrants clinging to a fishing net in the Mediterranean trying to reach Europe which underlined the need for a global approach to immigration and the powerful pull of Europe.
Han lagde i sit indlæg vægt på den demografiske ubalance i verden.
"We must look at new and innovative solutions at the very source where migrants start their journey.
Kun bistand til udvikling og demokrati hjælper.
Frontex is clearly useful, and we need to provide it with the necessary tools, he continued.
På vej mod Det Europæiske Institut for Innovation og Teknologi
A European Institute of Innovation and Technology
Parlamentet bakkede onsdag med stort flertal op om Kommissionens forslag til at oprette et europæisk teknologisk institut, men MEP'erne ønsker, at instituttets navn også skal indeholde ordet "innovation".
The European Parliament backs the Commission's proposal to set up a European Institute of Technology in its first-reading report adopted today by large majority.
Desuden ønsker MEP'erne en prøveperiode, hvor man i en mindre skala kan se, om de forskellige vidensfællesskaber, instituttet skal bestå af, virker efter hensigten.
However, MEPs want the EIT's name to include "innovation" and say it should be established only after a pilot phase in which two or three "Knowledge and Innovation Communities" run projects, to test its feasibility.
Instituttet skal blandt andet basere sig på et "videns- og innovations-samfund," hvor man bringer de vigtigste aktører fra universiteter, forsker-organisationer og erhvervsliv sammen i forskellige grupper, også kaldet ”videns- og innovationsfællesskaber.”
Although KICs will have "substantial overall autonomy" to define their internal organisation and working methods, MEPs do lay down some basic rules for their composition: Every KIC should consist of at least three partner organisations, situated in at least two different participating states and including at least one higher education institution and one private company.
Fokus på innovation
Solve budgetary problems
I betænkningen af Reino Paasilinna (PSE, FI) bakker MEP’erne op om Kommissionens forslag, men ønsker at omdøbe instituttet til Det Europæiske Institut for Innovation og Teknologi, og ønsker en ‘pilot-fase’ før etableringen af instituttet, hvor man kan teste to eller tre af disse grupperinger og se, og det er noget der kan betale sig.
The institute's overall budget of an estimated €2.4 billion for the first six years is to be funded from a combination of private and public sources.
Et netværk af universiteter, forskningsorganisationer og erhvervsliv
The EP agrees with the Commission that €308.7 million should come from the Community budget.
Det europæiske teknologiinstitut vil komme til at bestå af to enheder – en bestyrelse og de forskellige ”videns- og innovationsfællesskaber”.
On 19 September 2007 the Commission put forward a proposal to revise the Multi-Annual Financial Framework 2007-2013 in order to ensure the funding for Galileo and the EIT.
Det er bestyrelsen, der skal udvælge de højere læreanstalter, forskningsinstitutter firmaer og andre interessenter, som skal udgøre disse ”videns- og innovationsfællesskaber”.
This proposal is now the basis for further negotiations between Parliament and Council (the Budgetary Authority).
I modsætning til Kommissionens planer ønsker MEP’erne, at disse fællesskaber skal være juridisk selvstændige fra Instituttet.
Additionally, the Commission suggests financing the EIT partly through existing Community instruments such as the Framework Programme for Research, the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme or the Lifelong Learning Programme.
Selv om de forskellige grupper af forskere og erhvervsfolk, vil have ”betydelig frihed” til at fastlægge deres interne organisation og arbejdsmetoder, ønsker MEP’erne at der skal være nogle grundlæggende regler for deres sammensætning: Hver gruppe skal bestå af mindst tre partnerorganisationer fra to forskellige lande, og der skal være mindst en repræsentant fra en højere læreanstalt og en fra en privat virksomhed.
MEPs, however, stress that applications from KICs should in no way be privileged over other applications.
Hovedsædet for instituttets bestyrelse skal være i nærheden af eksisterende europæiske centre for ”ekspertise og akademisk udmærkelse” for at kunne drage bedst nytte af de eksisterende infrastrukturer.
Furthermore, funds stemming from those programmes should not finance establishment and administration costs directly associated with the EIT or the KICs but rather the mobility of researchers or research programmes.
Prøvetid med to eller tre grupper
Pilot phase with two or three KICs
MEP'erne ønsker desuden at introducere en ”pilot-fase”.
MEPs also introduce the idea of a "pilot phase" into the text.
Senest to år efter forordningen om oprettelse af instituttet træder i kraft, skal bestyrelsen nedsætte to eller tre vidensfællesskaber inden for de områder, der skal hjælpe EU med at imødekomme fremtidens udfordringer som f.eks. klimaforandringer, bæredygtig mobilitet, energieffektivitet eller næste generation af informations- og kommunikationsteknologi, for at se, om det kaster resultater af sig.
At the latest two years after the entry into force of the regulation establishing the EIT, the Governing Board would select two or three KICs "in areas that help the EU to face today's and tomorrow's challenges, such as climate change, sustainable mobility, energy efficiency or the next generation of ICT".
Kvalifikationsbeviser i stedet for akademiske grader
The EIT could select additional KICs after the adoption of its first "Strategic Innovation Agenda" (SIA), a concept also incorporated in the text by the EP.
MEP’erne afviser Kommissionens forslag om, at Teknologiinstituttet skal kunne udstede særlige grader og eksamensbeviser i de områder hvor vidensfælleskaberne udfører studie- og forskningsaktiviteter.
This SIA should identify the EIT's long-term strategic areas "in fields of key potential economic and societal interest which are likely to generate the greatest innovation added value".
De ønsker i stedet, at det skal være kvalifikationsbeviser, der skal bære instituttets mærke.
The EIT would have to draw up an SIA by the end of 2011 at the latest and thereafter every seven years.
Budgetproblemerne skal løses
EIT label on qualifications
Instituttets overordnede budget på omkring 2,4 mia. Euro for de første seks år skal finansieres gennem en blanding af private og offentlige midler.
MEPs reject the Commission's proposal for the EIT itself to award degrees and diplomas.
Parlamentet er enig med Kommissionen, i at 308,7 mio. Euro skal komme fra EU-budgettet.
Instead they ask for an EIT mark to be added to qualifications awarded through the higher education institutions within the KICs.

En finsk rallykører, valgt ind i Frankrig og en fransk studenteroprører valgt ind i Tyskland.
MEPs adopted a report on a Commission proposal that would make it easier for EU citizens to stand or vote in European Parliament elections while living in Member States other than their own.
Der er allerede flere eksempler i Europa-Parlamentet på medlemmer, der er valgt fra et andet land end det, der står på deres pas.
First, the House proposes abolishing the current prohibition on standing for election in more than one Member State, provided that the country of residence permits multiple candidatures.
