Hun understregede, at der var stort behov for flere organer til transplantation.
In addition, "the European Union cannot accept a 'black hole' in the Western Balkans".
"Men behovet for organer må for alt i verden ikke føre til en kommercialisering.
The region needs a framework to help these countries discuss their common problems and move towards meeting the EU membership criteria.
"Også de steder, hvor det ikke er ulovligt, er det jo forbryderisk, at man får fattige mennesker til at sælge deres nyrer for at kunne forsørge deres familie," sagde hun, men lagde vægt på, at der aldrig bliver organer nok.
Summing up, the Slovenian president said "The European Union would be well advised to exert global leadership in such matters as global warming and human rights.
"Der er nogle mennesker, der er så lykkelige, at de kan få et raskt organ og af den grund redde deres liv.
Creativity will continue to be central in the search for effective policies of immigration and integration.
Og det er for at få flere tilfælde af den slags, at vi skal have vedtaget denne betænkning.
The value of pragmatism will remain undiminished in all matters related to further expansion, which is needed to ensure the role of the EU as a global leader."
Men vi kommer aldrig i den situation, at vi har organer nok.
"All this may sound ambitious", he acknowledged.

MEP'ere vil give ombudsmanden lettere adgang til information
2009 EU budget: Parliament's priorities
Formålet er at styrke borgernes tillid til ombudsmandens arbejde.
It takes account of the changes set to take place in 2009 that will have a major impact on the budget.
Det var ombudsmanden selv, der i et brev til Europa-Parlamentets formand i juli 2006 bad om at få ændret retningslinjerne for sit arbejde.
Some are linked to the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty: the shift in the EP-Council balance of budgetary power in Parliament's favour and the scrapping of the distinction between compulsory and non-compulsory spending.
Den nye tekst kommer med regler for, hvordan ombudsmanden og hans personale skal håndtere fortrolige dokumenter.
MEPs nevertheless take note of the priorities proposed by the Commission for 2009, namely climate change and sustainable development.
Tjenestemænd skal vidne uden instrukser MEP'erne valgte også at ændre på den formulering, der har med vidneforklaringer fra EU-tjenestemænd at gøre.
But they are surprised that at this early stage the Commission "has already embarked on a reprioritisation exercise", including in those headings of the multiannual financial framework which have "a particularly small margin".
Den nye tekst sletter henvisningen til, at EU-tjenestemænd skal afgive deres vidneforklaringer til ombudsmanden "efter instrukser fra deres administrationer," da dette kunne misforstås som en indikation på, at de ikke altid er nødt til at sige sandheden.
MEPs call on the Commission to present a "clear and transparent" preliminary draft budget that can be understood by the public, is realistic and enables Parliament and Council to "thoroughly scrutinise" the implementation of the different EU programmes and policies.
Ombudsmanden efterlyser mere gennemsigtighed I forbindelse med fremlæggelsen for nylig af Ombudsmandens årsrapport for 2007 påpegede Nikiforos Diamandouros, at der i 2007 var et rekordantal af undersøgelserne (28 %), der havde med mangel på gennemsigtighed at gøre.
MEPs say they are concerned that it is now more difficult to distinguish operational from administrative expenditure by the Commission, as well as by the Commission’s practice of outsourcing spending on staff, which they say reduces the transparency of the administrative expenditure in the budget.
I 2007 modtog ombudsmanden 3211 nye klager (3830 i 2006).
In their negotiations with the Council, Parliament expects to make use of all the powers conferred on it under the interinstitutional agreement, including the flexibility instrument if necessary.
Ifølge traktaten er det Europa-Parlamentet, der fastsætter ombudsmandens statut efter høring af Kommissionen og godkendelse af Rådet, der træffer beslutning med kvalificeret flertal.
The report stresses the importance of the solidarity principle, arguing that it must remain one of the EU's guiding principles, particularly for regional and development policy.
Den endelige afstemning i Parlamentet vil finde sted, når Kommissionen og Rådet er kommet med deres bemærkninger.
Later in the year, the Budgets Committee will make an initial assessment of the 2009 preliminary draft budget, which will be presented at the July plenary session.

Parlamentet baner vejen for opsendelse af satellitter
MEPs debate visa waivers for EU travellers to USA
Fra 2013 skal EU's satellitnavigationssystem Galileo kunne hjælpe de europæiske borgere til at finde vej.
The question of visa waivers for Europeans travelling to the USA was the subject of a debate on Wednesday between MEPs, the Council and Commission.
EU investerer 3,4 mia. euro i projektet, som vil blive et af EU's vigtigste teknologiske projekter.
Electronic approval via internet of visa applications will be possible and the US will only require the same personal data as now.
Søndag ved midnatstid vil der blive sendt en forsøgssatellit op fra Kasakhstan.
Once an application is authorised it will be valid for two years.
Europa-Parlamentet bakkede onsdag med stort flertal op om den aftale, der for nylig var kommet i stand med Rådet om lovgrundlaget for EU's store teknologiske satsning, satellitnavigationssystemer Galileo.
Commissioner Jacques BARROT also spoke of the two-track system, adding that key issues in negotiations with the USA would be the principles of reciprocity and respect for fundamental rights, including data privacy.
Med stemmerne 607 for, 36 imod og 8 hverken for eller imod støttede MEP'erne aftalen, som betyder, at EU's satellitnavigationssystem Galileo fra 2013 vil kunne hjælpe de europæiske borgere til at finde vej ved hjælp af 30 satellitter.
"Individual Member States must have the possibility to negotiate separately to get the best deal for their own citizens but we also need a common EU position", she said, adding that she hoped for "a swift conclusion to these negotiations".
Finansieringen faldt på plads i november sidste år, og afstemningen i Parlamentet onsdag betyder, at lovgrundlaget for projektet er på plads i form af en forordning, som lægger grundlaget for det videre arbejde med at udvikle programmerne.
For the Socialist group, Claudio FAVA (IT) stressed that the Commission's negotiating mandate was for all Member States, and looked forward to their all being included in the Visa Waiver Program.
Arbejdet med Galileo foregår i forskellige faser.
Bilateral agreements are "completely unacceptable", he said, stressing that the US government "must respect the EU's political unity and treaty remit".
Definitionsfasen, som sluttede i 2001, udviklingsfasen, som varer til slutningen af 2010, etablerings- og ibrugtagningsfasen (2008-2013) og driftsfasen (fra 2013).
Visa and asylum policy fall within the EU's remit, and there should be no bilateral negotiations in these areas, he added, looking forward to the day when US visas would be waived for all EU citizens, on a reciprocal basis.
Den nye forordning, som Parlamentet har stemt om, forholder sig til etableringsfasen.
"If PNRs go beyond the EU/US accord, does this mean that the accord lapses?", she asked.
Første globale infrastruktur for satellitnavigation
Neither was she reassured by talk of electronic visa authorisation.
Udover Galileo-programmet, som har til formål at skabe den første globale infrastruktur for satellitbaseret navigation og positionsbestemmelse, består den europæiske satellitnavigationspolitik også af programmet Egnos, som har til formål at forbedre kvaliteten fra signalerne fra de eksisterende globale satellitnavigationssystemer.
"The twelve principles are well and good, but what about the exceptions?", she asked, stressing the need for guarantees that the system will work, and hence for parliamentary scrutiny.
EU vil investere 3,4 mia. euro i projekterne indtil 2013.
Konrad SZYMAŃSKI (UEN, PL) welcomed the Commission's efforts to achieve equal treatment for all citizens, but felt that this issue had made the EU's limits clear.
I forhandlingerne med Rådet har Parlamentets ordfører Etelka BARSI-PATALKY (PPE-DE, HU) lagt vægt på spørgsmål om databeskyttelse, systemets sikkerhed og hvilken rolle og status tilsynsmyndigheden for det europæiske GNSS skal have.
Dimitrios PAPADIMOULIS (GUE/NGL, EL) said "the Americans' decisions to sign separate agreements with countries that fall within Community remit is very offensive to the EU" and nobody should have the right to do so without there being oversight provided by the European Parliament and the European Union.
Parlamentet har også ønsket mere indflydelse på implementeringen af projekterne.
Jana BOBOŠÍKOVÁ (NI, CZ) said such agreements are "subject to the political will of the Member States" and the European Commission should stop punishing those that are trying to thwart terrorism through data-sharing agreements.
Danske talere
British speaker
Anne E. JENSEN (ALDE, DK) var ordfører på en udtalelse fra Transport- og Turismeudvalget, og hun var meget tilfreds med det resultat, der var opnået.
Baroness Sarah LUDFORD (ALDE, UK London, Liberal Democrat) wanted to know if the Commission and the Council will give an assurance that the EU will not, as part of the negotiations, allow access to EU databases like the Schengen Information System and the Visa Information System (VIS).
Hun understregede, at Galileo i fremtiden vil kunne sikre mere effektiv, sikker og miljørigtig transport, fordi systemet i forhold til alle typer transport vil kunne give bedre styring og kontrol, både for private virksomheder, for myndighederne og for almindelige borgere.
Secondly, do the Commission and Council accept that going down this blind alley of mass surveillance and collection of personal data on everybody – 99% of whom will be completely innocent – risks being a distraction from trying to catch the 0.1% who may be a terrorist danger or an organised crime suspect?
"Mange har spurgt: Hvorfor skal vi have Galileo, når vi allerede har GPS?
Is that not our top priority?
Men GPS har vi jo kun til låns.
And it is not being done because it is a harder nut to crack."
Hun mente desuden, det var vigtigt, at Parlamentet får indflydelse på det videre forløb med projektet.
Changes in the Ombudsman's statute were requested by the Ombudsman himself, Mr Diamandouros, in a letter sent to EP President Hans-Gert Pöttering in July 2006.

MEP'ere ønsker kompromis i navnestrid
Volunteering empowers you say MEPs
Navnstriden mellem Grækenland og Den Tidligere Jugoslaviske Republik Makedonien skal løses, så det ikke længere vil udgøre en hindring for, at landet kan blive medlem af internationale organisationer, mener MEP'erne.
Volunteering is good for you, your community, your region's economic development and your national economy.
Parlamentet opfordrer de to parter til straks at genoptage forhandlingerne.
It also helps build the "social capital" that public policies need to succeed.
Det uafklarede spørgsmål om, hvornår optagelsesforhandlingerne med det lille land skal indledes, bekymrer også MEP'erne, der ønsker, at Kommissionen skal indlede forhandlinger inden udgangen af året.
Over 100 million EU citizens volunteer, and every €1 spent on supporting them generates a return of between €3 and €8 - a contribution that should appear in national accounts, says a report by the European Parliament.
Med 601 stemmer for, 52 stemmer imod og 30 hverken for eller imod vedtog Europa-Parlamentet en betænkning om Den Tidligere Jugoslaviske Republik Makedoniens vej mod EU-medlemskab.
The figures for many countries, including the US, Belgium, the Czech Republic and Canada, indicate that not-for-profit institutions account for between 5% and 7% of GDP.
MEP'erne blev i betænkningen enige om en formulering der "opfordrer begge parter til at benytte lejligheden til straks at genoptage forhandlingerne i lyset af de væsentlige fremskridt, der er gjort i den seneste tid, og til at nå frem til en kompromisløsning, således at spørgsmålet ikke fortsat vil udgøre en hindring for Den Tidligere Jugoslaviske Republik Makedoniens medlemskab af internationale organisationer."
The report calls on the Commission and Member States to consider introducing VAT exemptions for voluntary organisations on purchases intended for the accomplishment of their objectives and, in specific cases, exemption from the payment of VAT on goods and services donated to voluntary organisation.
Fremskridtene mod optagelse
Volunteering nurtures solidarity
I betænkningen af Erik MEIJER (GUE/ NGL, NL) om Den Tidligere Jugoslaviske Republik Makedonien hilser MEP'erne regeringens vedvarende indsats og resultater med hensyn til gennemførelsen af Ohrid-rammeaftalen (fredsaftalen fra 2001) velkommen, ligesom der er tilfredshed med den øgede anerkendelse af landets multietniske karakter.
Volunteers help to implement projects under EU-funded initiatives such as the LEADER (rural development) programme, INTERREG (linking European regions) and the Northern Ireland PEACE Programme, notes the report, which calls on the Commission to put in place a system across all funds that recognises the contribution of volunteering towards co-financing EU-funded projects, and to devise mechanisms for costing and using it as a means of matching funding for them.
MEP'erne gør dog opmærksom på, at der fortsat er forskelsbehandling af roma-samfundet, navnlig i forhold til uddannelse, social beskyttelse, sundhedspleje, bolig og beskæftigelse.
Volunteering is also "a major force nurturing civil society and strengthening solidarity", and supporting community development programmes, says the report, which notes that "re-stimulating" volunteering may be especially necessary in those Member States, such as those emerging from a post-communist transition period, where voluntary activity "has come to be associated with actions of a compulsory nature".
Indstillingen til miljøet bør også forbedres, mener MEP'erne, og det er navnlig indsatsen for at beskytte af vandkvaliteten, der skal intensiveres.
The report stresses that volunteering and voluntary activity should in any event not take the place of paid work.
Beklager aftale med USA
Corporate volunteering
MEP'erne beklager, at Den Tidligere Jugoslaviske Republik Makedonien har underskrevet en bilateral aftale med de amerikanske myndigheder som betyder, at amerikanske statsborgere ikke kan udleveres til den internationale straffedomstol i Haag, og understreger at dette er imod EU's normer og politik.
It also urges Member States to create incentives for business to fund and support the voluntary sector, so as to help transfer corporate skills and know-how to the public sector and to improve the quality of life locally, by encouraging "self help" solutions to local problems.
Giv dem en dato
Satellite accounts
MEP'erne henviser til, at Den Tidligere Jugoslaviske Republik Makedonien allerede i 2005 fik status af kandidatland, men at der endnu ikke er fastlagt en dato for indledning af forhandlingerne.
The report recommends that all Member States produce regular non-profit institution (NPI) "satellite accounts", and include volunteer work in them, to enable policy makers to take account of NPIs in policy formulation.
MEP'erne ønsker derfor, at Kommissionen indleder forhandlinger inden udgangen af 2008.
The report calls on the Commission, Member States and regional and local authorities to promote volunteering through education at all levels, including degree programmes, so that learning during volunteering is recognised as part of lifelong learning.

Kritik af Kinas politik i Afrika
Go-ahead for EU law to encourage mediation for cross-border legal disputes
Allerede i 2010 kan Kina overhale EU og blive Afrikas største handelspartner.
The Commission's proposal for a directive to promote its use everywhere in the EU has reached its final stage.
I en betænkning, som blev vedtaget onsdag, kritiserer MEP'erne Kinas betingelsesløse støtte til undertrykkende regimer.
MEPs and the Council agreed that recourse to mediation must always be voluntary, even if, in some cases it is advised by a court.
MEP'erne ser det som en trussel for EU's støttemodel, hvor støtten er afhængig af politiske reformer.
At a later stage, EU governments could post the list of trained mediators on the internet.
MEP'erne mener, at EU i den forbindelse må udvikle en fælles strategi i forhold til Kina, og at EU bør sikre, at Kina kommer til at spille en større rolle i forhold til konfliktmægling, fredsbevaring og donorkonferencer.
This policy helps perpetuate human rights violations, say MEPs who also highlight Beijing's role in the spread of arms and the conditions under which natural resources are being exploited.
MEP'erne kritiserer Kinas betingelsesløse støtte til undertrykkende regimer, som de mener, er med til at fastholde krænkelser af menneskerettighederne.
According to Ana Gomes (PES, PT) who drafted the report: "China's growing presence in Africa, with its positive and negative impacts, is challenging EU-Africa relations.
Stop våbenhandel med regimer, der går mod menneskerettigheder
The EU must therefore develop a coordinated response to the Chinese 'go out' policy, which is aimed at procuring oil and other natural resources.
I betænkningen kommer MEP'erne også ind på spørgsmålet om våbenhandel.
We need to engage in dialogue with China and Africa.
MEP'erne ønsker, at EU skal bevare sin våbenembargo mod Kina, så længe landet fortsat eksporterer våben til væbnede styrker i lande, der fremmer og fastholder konflikter.
It should also enter into a dialogue with China, in order to discuss methods and aims of development policy, says the report.
Kina skal være mere aktiv i fredsbevaring
Investment in Africa
MEP'erne ønsker også, at Kina skal øge sin deltagelse i fredsbevarende missioner under FN eller den Afrikanske Union - og også ved at sende tropper, hvis det er nødvendigt.
Unlike the EU, which ties its investment to respect for human rights and good governance, China makes most of its investments without laying down any particular conditions.
EU skal desuden opfordre Kina til at påtage sig sit ansvar som permanent medlem af FN's sikkerhedsråd, herunder ansvaret for at beskytte civile.
The EU should encourage Chinese export-credit agencies, including the Exim Bank, to conduct systematic environmental assessments of infrastructure projects in Africa, such as dams, roads and mines, believes the House.
Betænkningen understreger dog, at det er vigtigt at EU ikke generaliserer i forhold til Kinas rolle, og at EU skal se på landet med en åben og konstruktiv holdning.
The report also calls on the EU to actively promote transparency regarding revenue generated by natural resources.
MEP'erne opfordrer blandt andet til samarbejde mellem EU, Kina og Afrika i forhold til at bekæmpe klimaændringer og udvikle vedvarende energi.
MEPs call on the EU and China to discuss, develop and formulate, whenever possible, their African strategies with a view to a responsible commitment, aimed at fostering sustainable development and the pursuit of the MDGs.
Hun pegede på, at EU nu er nummer et i Afrika, men at Kina kan overtage den position.
In this context, MEPs call on the EU to encourage the creation of an African Partnership Forum engaging all major donors and investors and China.
Hun mente, at Kina bør tage god regeringsførelse med ind i investeringspolitikken.
In addition, says the report, China should increase the transparency of its national arms export control regime, namely by ensuring complete reporting on exports to the UN Register on Conventional Arms Exports.
Hun opfordrede også Kina til at hjemtage en ladning våben.
MEPs call on the EU to encourage China to continue increasing its participation in UN or African Union (AU) peacekeeping missions in Africa "by also supplying combat troops, when necessary".
"Hvis Kina hjemtager den våbenladning, som flere har nævnt i dag, og som er sendt til Zimbabwe og i disse dage afvises i flere havne, f.eks. i Mozambique og i Sydafrika, vil Kina vise sig som en stormagt, der lytter til andre og ønsker at leve op til det ansvar, der følger med en plads i FN's Sikkerhedsråd," sagde Margrete Auken.
The EU is also urged to encourage China to assume its responsibilities as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, including the "responsibility to protect" civilians.

Organisationer skal have indflydelse på narkotikapolitikken
Parliament's priorities for the 10th European Development Fund
Kirker og religiøse samfund og frivillige organisationer, som har erfaring med at arbejde med at bekæmpe narkotikamisbrug, skal involveres mere i udformningen af narkotikapolitikken.
MEPs adopted a report urging that the European Development Fund (EDF) be incorporated into the EU budget "in order to increase the consistency, transparency and effectiveness of development cooperation and guarantee democratic scrutiny".
Det mener Europa-Parlamentet i en betænkning om civilsamfundets rolle i forhold til narkotika-politikken, som blev vedtaget onsdag.
Believing that a posteriori examination of the EDF budget discharge by the European Parliament is not an adequate means of democratic scrutiny, the European Parliament proposes that the Council confer on Parliament, pending the EDF's incorporation into the EU budget, an institutional role relating to the entire process of monitoring and assessing the Fund's programming.
