Medlemmerne ønsker et system, der er relevant for arbejdsmarkedet, og et system, der også tager hensyn til de ’uformelle’ kvalifikationer, som man f.eks. opbygger i fritiden, i familien, i den lokale forening etc. Parlamentet er glade for, at der i forbindelse med Lissabon-Strategien er større fokus på livslang læring.
The "European dimension" has two aspects: firstly, access to information about the EU, its institutions, methods and practices, and, secondly, the development of linguistic skills, with learning the languages of neighbouring peoples being especially important.
Anne E. JENSEN (ALDE, DK) deltog i debatten mandag aften på vegne af sin gruppe og lagde vægt på, at det ikke kun er universitetsuddannelserne, der skal tænkes på, men at der skal mere fokus på erhvervsuddannelserne, herunder efteruddannelserne.
Parliament is also recommending an exchange of best practice between all Member States with regard to language teaching and the inclusion of European content in education.
20060922IPR10879 Betænkning om udarbejdelse af en europæisk referenceramme for kvalifikationer
They welcome the fact that, as a result of the Lisbon Strategy, greater attention is being devoted to lifelong learning in the workplace and hence to the recognition of qualifications acquired at work.
MEP'ere vil have klarhed over offentlig service
MEPs want legal certainty on public services
Europa-Parlamentet vil have Kommissionen til at opklare forholdet mellem forsyningspligtsydelserne og den fri konkurrence.
Parliament is calling for action from the Commission to clarify the interaction between EU internal market and competition rules and the provision of public services.
Parlamentet vedtog onsdag en betænkning, der beder om retningslinjer, principper og juridiske initiativer i forhold til forsyningspligtsydelserne.
On Wednesday, MEPs adopted a report by 491 votes in favour to 128 against and 31 abstentions asking for guidelines, principles and legal initiatives in the field of services of general interest.
I betænkningen af Bernhard RAPKAY (PSE, DE) ønsker Parlamentet mere juridisk klarhed over området for forsyningspligtsydelser.
The report, drawn up by Bernhard RAPKAY (PES, DE), represents a consensus reached between the largest political groups in response to a White Paper from the Commission.
Parlamentet ønsker derfor en klarere skelnen mellem de forsyningspligtsydelser, der er af økonomisk karakter (f.eks. vandforsyning, elforsyning etc.) og de forsyningspligtsydelser, der ikke er af økonomisk karakter (f.eks. politi, domstole og visse sociale ydelser etc.)
They also want a clearer distinction to be made between the concepts of ‘services of general interest’ and ‘services of general economic interest’, though they point out that too tight a definition at EU level would conflict with Member States freedom to decide what to define as a public service.
Ideen er at skelne mellem de ydelser, der kan have betydning for det indre markeds funktion, fordi de er af økonomisk interesse og de tjenesteydelser, der ikke indvirker på markedet.
The report opposes the idea of using this exercise to withdraw wholesale broad areas of services of general interest from competition and internal market rules.
Dog erkender Parlamentet, at en for stram definition på EU-niveau vil være i konflikt med medlemslandenes frihed til selv at bestemme, hvordan de definerer offentlige serviceydelser.
It emphasises the success of sector-specific EU regulations enacted so far, and recommends this be expanded, calling notably for a directive on social and health care services.
MEP'erne understreger, at det skal være op til den kompetente offentlige myndighed at bestemme, om serviceydelser skal sendes i udbud.
MEPs emphasise that it should be for the competent public authority to decide whether to supply services ‘in house’ or contract them out, via a tendering process.
Medlemmerne er enige om, at der især på social- og sundhedsområdet er særlige behov, og beder Kommissionen om at komme med et direktiv, der vedrører denne sektor.
They note that local authorities, under certain conditions, should be able to provide services via joint inter-communal organisations without going through a tendering process.
Jens-Peter BONDE (IND-DEM, DK) lagde under debatten tirsdag vægt på, at det skal være op til vælgerne i hvert land at sætte grænserne mellem marked og samfund og fastlægge kvalitets- og service-niveau og brugerrettigheder.
More legal clarification is needed, says the report, when it comes to procedures for accessing existing networks needed for provision of services, defining the price for supply of services, securing competition and opportunities for new entrepreneurs, out-of-court settlements between service providers and users and referral to competition authorities.
"Folkestyret skal kunne styre markedet, så der også bliver generelle tjenesteydelser til dem, der ikke er født med en sølvske i munden", sagde han.
Parliament therefore invites the Commission to propose appropriate legal initiatives to deal with all these issues.
Kommissionsformand José Manuel BARROSSO lovede under debatten, at han inden udgangen af 2006 ville fremlægge en meddelelse med Kommissionens planer på området.
During Tuesday's debate on the subject, Commission President José Manuel BARROSO said the Commission would publish a Communication outlining its plans in this area before the end of the year.
Hårde ord fra Europa-Parlamentet til Tyrkiet
European Parliament critical of slowdown in Turkey's reform process
Reformprocessen i Tyrkiet går for langsomt, siger Europa-Parlamentet i en meget kritisk betænkning om Tyrkiets vej mod EU-medlemskab.
In adopting a report on Turkey's progress towards accession, MEPs stated that they were critical of the slowdown in the reform process.
Forbindelserne til Cypern og problemerne i forhold til ytringsfriheden og religionsfrihed bliver især fremhævet.
Relations with Cyprus and Armenia, as well as restrictions on freedom of expression and religion, figured prominently in the report adopted by 429 votes in favour to 71 against with 125 abstentions.
Europa-Parlamentet glæder sig dog over de fremskridt, som er sket i forhold til at bekæmpe tortur, korruption og styrke kvinders rettigheder.
MEPs nevertheless welcomed some recent steps by the Turkish government in the fields of combating torture, fighting corruption and extending women's rights.
Betænkningen af Camiel EURLINGS (PPE-DE, NL) blev vedtaget med stort flertal, 429 stemmer for og 71 stemmer imod.
MEPs called on the government in Ankara to recognize the Republic of Cyprus, withdraw its forces from the island and lift its embargo on Cypriot vessels and aircraft.
I betænkningen understreger Parlamentet, at selv om målet for forhandlingerne med Tyrkiet er medlemskab, er det en åben proces, som ikke automatisk fører til medlemskab.
The report reminds Turkey that a lack of progress in implementing the Ankara protocol "will have serious implications for the negotiation process, and could even bring it to a halt."
Parlamentet opfordrer regeringen i Ankara til at anerkende Cypern, trække tropperne tilbage fra øen og tillade cypriotiske skibe og fly i tyrkiske havne og lufthavne.
It also calls on Turkey to refrain from "tension-prone military activities ."
Et meget omdiskuteret forslag om, at Tyrkiet, som betingelse for at blive medlem af EU, skulle anerkende det armenske folkemord, blev stemt ned.
Significantly, the EP rejected a provision that would have otherwise called the acknowledgement of the Armenian genocide a " precondition " for Turkey's European Union accession.
Parlamentet holder dog fast på nødvendigheden at, at et land, som ønsker at bliver medlem, skal anerkende sin historiske fortid.
MEPs nevertheless stress that, although the recognition of the Armenian genocide as such is formally not one of the Copenhagen criteria, it is indispensable for a country on the road to membership to come to terms with and recognise its past.
I betænkningen glæder Parlamentet sig over, at der er åbnet op for radio og tv-udsendelser på kurdisk, men understreger, at alle restriktioner skal ophæves, så kurderne får mulighed for frit at udøve deres kulturelle og uddannelsesmæssige rettigheder.
The House calls in this respect on the Turkish authorities to facilitate the work of researchers, intellectuals and academics working on this question, ensuring them the access to the historical archives and providing them with all the relevant documents.
Det er blandt andet paragraffer, der gør det muligt at straffe folk, der ytrer sig negativt eller nedsættende om Tyrkiet.
Despite the recent acquittal of the novelist Elif Shafak, the EP remained troubled by the remaining barriers to freedom of expression in Turkey.
Der bliver også delt kritiske ord ud i forhold til den manglende respekt for kvinders rettigheder, og i forhold til hærens dominerende rolle i det tyrkiske samfund.
The Parliament also expressed its "serious concern" about the "non-respect for women's rights" and the high role of the military in Turkish public life.
Kommissionen meddelte i sidste uge, at den næste rapport om Tyrkiets fremskridt mod optagelse vil blive offentliggjort den 8. november.
The European Commission announced last week that the publication of its next annual report on Turkey's progress towards accession will be delayed by two weeks, until 8 November.
Det var et af hovedbudskaberne, da Europa-Parlamentet tirsdag eftermiddag diskuterede en betænkning om Tyrkiets fremskridt mod medlemskab.
MEPs pointed out that Turkey still had a long path to tread before accession.
Ordføreren af betænkningen, Camiel EURLINGS (PPE-DE, NL) åbnede debatten med at beklage den opbremsning, der er sket i reformtempoet i Tyrkiet.
Opening the debate, rapporteur Camiel EURLINGS (EPP-ED, NL) described his report as " fair but tough " and said its basic conclusion was that the EP regretted the " slowdown in reforms " in Turkey, although he did compliment the Turkish government on its 9th reform package.
"Det er blevet sagt om denne betænkning, at den er fair men hård.
This was important not just for the EU but for Turkish people.
Fair, fordi den er konstruktiv og baseret på facts, men hård, fordi der desværre er grund til kritik", sagde Camiel Eurlings under debatten.
As to Cyprus, Turkey must fulfil its commitments and implement the Ankara Protocol before the end of 2006 which had sought to find a way of " normalising relations " with Cyprus.
Et af de helt store problemer, ligger stadig i Tyrkiets manglende anerkendelse af Cypern, som siden 2004 har været medlem af EU.
I can assure you that the Presidency will take due note of the views of the European Parliament.
Derfor har han foreslået en ny formulering til afstemningen i morgen.
We reiterate that the new laws need to be fully in line with the EU standards.
Fra det finske formandskab tog Europa-minister Paula LEHTOMÄKI ordet.
The Presidency has condemned the recent bomb attacks in several locations in Turkey as irrational acts of terrorism.
Hun takkede på Rådets vegne for Parlamentets betænkning - og forsikrede, at Parlamentets holdninger ville bliver taget til efterretning i Rådet.
Turkey must apply the Protocol fully in its relations with all EU Member States and remove all obstacles to the free movement of goods, including restrictions on means of transport.
"Vi deler Europa-Parlamentets bekymring.
Failure to implement these obligations in full will affect the overall progress in the negotiations.
Der skal mere fremdrift og gang i reformerne.
Our message is clear and consistent.
Tyrkiet har gjort væsentlige fremskridt, men vi skal se praktiske og håndgribelige resultater," sagde den finske minister under debatten.
The Union will continue to support Turkey in its efforts, but progress will depend on Turkey's performance.
Rådet forventer, at der sker noget straks i forhold til ytringsfrihed og religionsfrihed, og hun sluttede sin tale med at understrege, at forhandlingernes fremskridt afhænger af Tyrkiets indsats.
The accession process will proceed provided that Turkey respects its commitments to the carrying out of the reforms and satisfies the existing obligations . "
Han påpegede ligesom Parlamentets ordfører behovet for, at Tyrkiet skal tilbage på reformsporet snarest muligt.
The integration of Turkey would be of mutual benefit ", he said, adding " the EU needs a prosperous and stable Turkey ".
Han var særlig kritisk over for problemerne angående ytringsfriheden, hvor journalister, forfattere, forlæggere og menneskerettighedsforkæmpere stadig bliver sagsøgt, fordi de er kommet med udtalelser, der rummer kritik af Tyrkiet.
However, he highlighted freedom of expression as a problem, especially Article 301 of the Penal Code, which he said " violates European standards".
"Jeg har gentagne gange udtrykt mine bekymringer omkring dette - seneste i sidste uge til Udenrigsminister Gül.
He went on " I cannot imagine a Member State of the EU which does not respect the fundamental principle of freedom of expression ".
Jeg er ærlig talt træt af at skulle gentage det hele tiden, men jeg vil fortsætte så længe jeg sidder i denne position, med mindre der bliver rettet op på det," sagde Olli Rehn under debatten.
Regarding Cyprus, the Ankara Protocol must indeed be implemented, he said, though an end to the economic isolation of northern Cyprus could not be linked to this.
Han sluttede af med at sige, at det er i alles interesse, at Tyrkiet fortsætter sin demokratiske, samfundsmæssige og økonomiske forandringsproces.
In conclusion, he told the House, " it is in our mutual interest that Turkey pursues its transformation ".
Hun finder det især kedeligt for Tyrkiets kvinder, som har oplevet mange fremskridt under det arbejde, der allerede er blevet gjort.
Speaking on behalf of the EPP-ED group, German MEP Elmar BROK stressed the issues of human rights, minority rights, freedom of religion and of expression.
Jan Marinus WIERSMA (PSE, NL) understregede, at hovedformålet med forhandlingerne skal være tiltrædelse.
For the Socialists, Jan Marinus WIERSMA (NL) argued that the EU " needs Turkey as a partner ".
Han påpegede desuden, at anerkendelse af det armenske folkemord ikke kan være en betingelse for optagelsen i og med, at det ikke er et københavnerkriterium.
The negotiation process was the best way to build better relations with the country and there must be no ambiguity: the aim of negotiations was to achieve Turkish membership.
Vi skal hjælpe mere og være konsistente og retfærdige - især i forhold til Cypern og Armenien," sagde han.
If there were a " train crash " in Cyprus, there would be two trains involved: one carrying " Turkey's efforts to create a viable reform of European Islam, where the prophet meets the Enlightenment ", the other carrying Europe's efforts to develop a strong common foreign and defence policy, to which Turkey could make " an extraordinary contrib ution".
Joos LAGENDIJK (Verts/ALE,NL) var tilfreds med betænkningens kritik af reformtempoet, men mente, at Eurlings betænkning kører af sporet i forhold til at kræve, at anerkendelsen af folkemordet i Armenien bliver betingelse for optagelse.
On behalf of his group, Joost LAGENDIJK (Greens/EFA, NL) said there was a big problem with one point of the Eurlings report in its present form: the paragraphs in which, following amendments instigated by lobby groups, recognition of the Armenian genocide by Turkey was described as a precondition for Turkey to join.
Vittorio AGNOLETTO (GUE/NGL, IT) fastslog, at det centrale i forhandlingerne med Tyrkiet skal være overholdelse af menneskerettigheder.
For the GUE/NGL group, Vittorio AGNOLETTO (IT) said that his group favoured Turkish membership of the EU.
Konrad SZYMAŃSKI (UEN, PL) påpegede, at Tyrkiet efter 40 år stadig er fjendtligt indstillet over for sine naboer.
For the UEN group, Konrad SZYMAŃSKI (PL) said that he welcomed the critical report.
Han mente, at EU har ret til at kræve, at Tyrkiet forbedrer situationen for det kristne mindretal, hvis rettigheder er overtrådt.
Turkey still had a long way to go before it could join the EU he said, namely Turkey must respect the rights of the Christian minority.
Han kaldte de tyrkiske regeringsrepræsentanters udlægning af Pavens forelæsning i Regensburg 'skandaløs' . "
I am clearly aware of the sense of isolation that many Turkish Cypriots feel, in light of the rejection of the Annan plan.
Fra gruppen af løsgængere kom Andreas MÖLZER (NI, AT) med skarp kritik af Kommissionen.
Charles TANNOCK (EPP-ED, GB) said that his party was in favour of Turkish membership of the EU.
"Kommissionen har i forhold til Tyrkiet ikke blot lukket ikke ét øje men to øjne" , sagde han.
In particular, Mr Tannock criticised Turkey's support for theocratic Iran.
Af danske MEP'ere var Mogens CAMRE (UEN, DK), den eneste, der havde taletid. "
However, criticism must be " balanced, fair and honest ".
Camre bakker op om Eurlings betænkning, som han ser som et bevis på, at de europæiske borgere bygger deres skepsis på facts og ikke på følelser.
Minister LEHTOMÂKI , replying for the Council, said that the debate had been very thorough and highlighted the many challenges for both Turkey and the EU.
Men han påpegede, at der også i forhold til de svære emner fra fortiden skal være ytringsfrihed.
It would, however, have to meet all the obligations - no-one would be waving a magic wand.

Indvandring: Parlamentet savner en fælles politik
European Parliament sets out its views on immigration
Parlamentet beklager i et beslutningsforslag, som blev vedtaget i dag, at Rådet stadig ikke har kunnet fastlægge en fælles indvandringspolitik.
Adopted by 295 votes in favour, 271 against and 14 abstentions, the text adopted regrets "the failure of the Council (...) to define a common immigration policy, instead maintaining unanimity and the consultation procedure for all matters regarding legal migration" and stresses the need for the integration of migrants into the labour market.
EU bør desuden spille en større rolle i forhold til at håndtere nødsituationer, som f.eks. på de Kanariske Øer i sommer.
Any comprehensive approach to immigration cannot ignore the "push factors" that lead people to leave their country, MEPs said.
Syv år efter, at stats- og regeringslederne på topmødet i Tampere blev enige om en politisk strategi for det retlige område, har Rådet stadig ikke kunne blive enige om en konkret fælles indvandringspolitik.
MEPs "believe that the sharing of responsibilities and financial burdens between Member States must be an integral part of EU immigration policy" and call on the Commission to propose, as soon as possible, the creation of an emergency fund to finance "expert support teams" for reception at borders and tackle humanitarian crises in the Member States.
I stedet har Rådet fastholdt enstemmighedsprincippet og høringsproceduren for alle spørgsmål vedr. lovlig indvandring, hvilket Parlamentet beklager.
Regarding the fight against illegal immigration and management of borders, MEPs "recognise the need to adopt an equitable EU return directive" and stress that "mass regularisation of illegal immigrants is not a solution in the long term".
Parlamentet erkender behovet for at vedtage et EU-tilbagesendelsesdirektiv med rimelige vilkår og opfordrer Rådet til at øge bestræbelserne på at sikre, at direktivet bliver vedtaget.
Their draft text was more critical of the process of mass regularisation, it called for "a robust return policy" and agreed on the need of helping border Member States financially.
For at styre migrationsstrømmene opfordrer Parlamentet til en partnerskabsstrategi for oprindelses- og transitlandene, og ønsker også at medlemslandene skal udvide samarbejdet inden for grænseagenturet Frontex og forbedre definitionen af agenturets sagsområde.
Jean-Marie CAVADA (ALDE, FR), chair of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs and author of the oral question on which the debate was based, referred to the Council's failure to agree last week to implement the passerelle clause (Article 42 of the Treaty) on justice and home affairs.
Manglen på lovlige indvandringsmuligheder har sat asylsystemet under pres, og Parlamentet opfordrer indtrængende Kommissionen til snarest muligt at revidere Dublin II-forordningen om behandling af asylansøgere.
So far, Mr Cavada pointed out, the passerelle clause has never been used but " MEPs now believe the time has come ", for three reasons: " to reduce the democratic deficit, to strengthen the rule of law and to make decision-making more effective ".
Landene i det sydlige og østlige Europa er pålagt en uacceptabel byrde, mener Parlamentet og opfordrer til at indføre en retfærdig ansvarsfordelingsmekanisme mellem medlemslandene.
All the Member States are Contracting Parties to the Convention on Human Rights, and safeguarding those principles is a constant concern in the Council’s work, even in the context of sensitive matters such as the fight against terrorism.
Parlamentets beslutning blev til på baggrund af en sammenskrivning af udkastene fra flere grupper (PSE, Verts/ALE, GUE/NGL og ALDE-gruppen).
As to the area of justice , in developing the area of justice, effective judicial protection of all individuals must form a key element.
Immigration var et af hovedemnerne, da Europa-Parlamentet onsdag morgen havde den årlige diskussion om fremskridtene inden for området frihed, sikkerhed og retfærdighed.
Added value of internal security in the enlarged EU has been looked for with the help of closer cooperation between law enforcement authorities.
MEP'erne var enige om, at EU skal være mere effektiv i forhold til at kunne løse de akutte problemer med illegal indvandring og i forhold til at bekæmpe terrorisme og organiseret kriminalitet.
At least eight Member States will soon have joined this Treaty and will be able to establish enhanced cooperation among themselves under Article 43 of the Treaty on European Union.
"Med 27 lande kan man ikke træffe hurtige og effektive beslutninger med enstemmighed.
The discussions touch on criminal procedural law, which differs considerably between the Member States.
Med de trusler vi står over for, kræves der hurtighed," påpegede Cavada, som mente at det hastede med at gøre beslutningerne mere effektive.
During its six-month Presidency, Finland aims to conclude, to a great extent, the first reading of the proposal.
"Vi kan ikke sidde og vente på forfatningstraktaten 3-4 år endnu"
The Council expects therefore that negotiations could be resumed as soon as possible.
Den finske indenrigsminister Kari RAJAMÄKI startede sin tale med at henvise til den debat, der havde været på det netop overståede rådsmøde i Tampere, hvor debatten om EU's fremskridt på det retlige område af flere ministre var blevet illustreret med en cykel, der ville vælte, hvis de manglede fremdrift.
On immigration policy, during the Finnish Presidency, the Council has aimed to engage in broad-based debate on immigration issues, both at the July Council and at the informal ministerial meeting in Tampere last week.
Franco FRATTINI, kommissær med ansvar for de retlige anliggender lagde ligesom den finske minister vægt på, at der er brug for mere effektive beslutningsgange for at forbedre sikkerheden for borgerne, uden at de grundlæggende rettigheder bliver krænket.
The initiative involves creating, in return for a significant financial contribution from the EU, a procedure for ensuring that Member States conform to the ground rules and take responsibility for illegal immigrants and asylum seekers entering their territory.
Han understregede, at problemet med flygtningestrømme har højeste prioritet, ligesom bekæmpelse af terrorisme.
The Council is continuing to work towards a first-reading agreement with the European Parliament on these important instruments.
