Climate change committee
På torsdag vil Parlamentets midlertidige udvalg om klimaforandringer diskutere måder at begrænse klimaforandringernes skadelige virkninger.
In a meeting on Thursday, the Temporary Committee on Climate Change will discuss ways to limit climate change to 2 degrees Celsius, ahead of the 13th Conference of countries that have signed the Kyoto protocol, in Indonesia 3-14 December.
Dette sker forud for den trettende konference for de lande, der har underskrevet Kyoto-aftalen.

En ældre ukrainsk kvinde afgiver sin stemme
No clear result
Ved søndagens parlamentsvalg i Ukraine var der en valgdeltagelse på 63 %, og ifølge Europa-Parlamentets valgobservationsgruppe forløb valget i tråd med internationale standarder.
Ukraine's elections on Sunday attracted around 63% of the population and were mostly in line with international standards, according to the European Parliament and other parliamentary delegations observing the elections.
Ifølge uafhængige meningsmålinger er valgresultatet følgende: Premierminister Viktor Yanukovych's Parti for regionerne fik 35 % af stemmerne, Yulia Tymoshenko's "Tymoshenko Block" 31 % og Præsident Viktor Yushchenko's parti Vores Ukraine 14 %.
According to independent exit polls in the Ukrainian media the results are as follows: Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych's Party of Regions has 35%, Yulia Tymoshenko's "Tymoshenko Block" 31%, President Viktor Yushchenko's Our Ukraine/Self Defence Block has 14% and the Communist Party 5%.
De 14 MEP´er der deltog i Parlamentets observationsgruppe var spredt udover forskellige regioner i landet, hvor de evaluerede stemmeforholdene.
The 14 MEPs were deployed to different regions and visited a number polling stations to check voting conditions.
Severin besøgte fagforeningernes hovedkvarter, hvor han så Præsident Yushchenko afgive sin stemme.
Mr Severin visited the House of Trade Unions where he saw President Yushchenko vote, Kiev's Music Academy and even a remand prison - prisoners have the right to vote in Ukraine.
Severin betegnede valget som ”afslappet og afdramatiseret” med et ”godt samarbejde mellem de forskellige observatører og stemmekomiteer.”
Commenting on polling, Mr Severin said the "atmosphere was relaxed and de-dramatized...good cooperation between different observers and voting committees"
Der blev dog også peget på en række problemer.
However, there were a few problems.
Den litauiske MEP, Laima Andrikienė fra Det Europæiske Folkeparti noterede sig, at et medlem af stemmekommissionen under optællingen overså, at der stadig var et stemmested åbent.
Laima Andrikienė, a Lithuanian member of the EPP-ED group, noted that a chair of a voting commission was not aware that the polling station was open, while German Green Milan Horáček reported some language problems in Crimea, where many elderly residents speak Russian, rather than Ukrainian, and had problems understanding the voting instructions.
Præsidenten havde forudsagt et tæt valg
President had predicted tight result
Forud for valget havde Severin mødt Ukraines præsident, Yushchenko.
Mr Severin and the heads of 3 other parliamentary delegations met President Yushchenko ahead of the election.

LUX-Prisen: Europa-Parlamentet forpligtiger sig selv til kultur
LUX Prize: EP commits itself to Culture
LUX: Europa-Parlamentets nye filmpris
Who will win the LUX Prize?
Det europæiske samarbejde går hånd i hånd med respekt for den kulturelle mangfoldighed i medlemsstaterne.
Today, the "seventh art" is arguably the first, with film central to cultural identity and experience across the planet.
Derfor har Europa-Parlamentet besluttet at markere 50-året for underskrivelsen af Rom-traktaten med at indstifte LUX-prisen - Europa-Parlamentets filmpris.
In recognition of this, the European Parliament has created the LUX Prize.
Prisen uddeles for første gang i år.
This is the first year the prize will be awarded.
Vinderen af LUX-prisen vil få støtte til at få oversat filmen til samtlige 23 officielle EU sprog.
The winner will get a trophy and financial aid to subtitle the film into all 23 EU official languages.
Den originale version af filmen vil endvidere blive tilpasset personer med særlige behov, og der vil blive ydet et økonomisk tilskud til at få filmen produceret i DVD format.
The original version of the winning film will be adapted to people with special needs and if the film is already being screened across Europe, money will be made available to put the film on DVD.
De 3 udvalgte film til dette års LUX-pris er:
The short-listed films are:
Den tysk-tyrkiske film: "Auf der anderen Seite" af Fatih Akin
German-Turkish Auf der anderen Seite (the Edge of heaven) by Fatih Akin
Den rumænske film: "4 uni, 3 septamini si 2 zile" (4 måneder, 3 uger og 2 dage) af Cristian Mungiu
Romanian "4 luni, 3 septamini si 2 zile" (4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days) by Cristian Mungiu
Den fransk-portugisiske film: "Belle toujours" af Manoel de Oliveira
Franco-Portuguese film honouring Bunuel "Belle toujours" by Manoel de Oliveira
EU som et kulturprojekt
The EU as a cultural project
Formålet med prisen er at udvælge en film, der illustrerer de europæiske værdier og den kulturelle mangfoldighed og/eller bidrager til debatten om europæisk integration.
EP Vice-President Gérard Onesta is the driving force behind the prize.
Parlamentets næstformand, Gérard Onesta har været drivkraften bag den nye pris.
He sees Europe as a cultural project, with the European Parliament playing an essential part.
Han ser Europa som et kulturprojekt: "For 50 år siden blev Monnet ofte citeret for at sige: Hvis vi kunne gøre alt om igen, så burde vi starte med kultur.
"Fifty years ago Monnet is often quoted as saying: ' If we had to do everything again, we would have to start with culture.'"
EU bliver ofte associeret med teknokrati.
"The EU is mostly associated with technocracy.
Vi ønsker et nærværende EU, som er tæt på den enkelte borger", sagde Onesta.
We want an intimate Europe, one close to the citizen," said Mr Onesta.
Målsætningen med uddelingen af prisen er at bringe Europa tættere på borgerne og skabe ikke-elitære kvalitetsfilm for den brede befolkning.
The prize aims to bring Europe closer to the citizens via cinema and to make high quality non-elitist films for the public.
De tre film bliver vist ved en række fremvisninger i Parlamentet i Bruxelles i perioden 1.-18. oktober.
To be eligible for the prize a film must represent at least one of the following criteria:
Prisoverrækkelsen finder sted i forbindelse med Parlamentets samling i Strasbourg den 24. oktober.
The trophy represents a positive version of the tower of Babel, like the European Parliament, a symbol of linguistic and cultural diversity, said Mr Onesta.

Udenrigsudvalget slår tonen an forud for forhandlingerne med Tyrkiet
EP ready to set tone for Turkey talks - Ria Oomen-Ruijten
Ria OOMEN-RUIJTEN
Turkey's accession to the EU under the spotlight
Europa-Parlamentet ønsker, at der bliver lyttet til dets bekymringer forud for Kommissionens årlige rapport om fremskridtene i Tyrkiet.
Turkey's candidature for the European Union is coming back into the spotlight and the European Parliament wants its concerns taken account of.
Vi bad Ria Oomen-Ruijten (EPP-ED, Holland) give sit bud på, hvad hun ser som de vigtigste emner i forholdet mellem EU og Tyrkiet.
Ahead of the European Commission's 7 November annual progress report, the EP will outline what it sees as key issues.
Tyrkiet blev anerkendt som officielt EU kandidatland tilbage i 1999, og tiltrædelsesforhandlingerne blev påbegyndt i 2005.
With recent elections in Turkey complete and confirming the previous prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in office, as well as the election of Abdullah Gül as President, over the objections of the military (a sign of success for a mature Turkish democracy, according to the draft EP resolution), attention has returned to Turkey's aspirations to join the EU.
Efter de nyligt overståede parlamentsvalg i Tyrkiet er fokus endnu en gang rettet mod landets ambitioner om at blive optaget i EU.
Turkey already enjoys formal candidate status and negotiations are open, meaning that the Commission reports regularly on its progress in meeting the conditions required for accession.
Kommissionen har, i overensstemmelse med de gældende optagelsesregler, fulgt udviklingen i Tyrkiet nøje.
As with all potential accessions, it will ultimately fall to Parliament to give its assent.
Europa-Parlamentet skal, som det er tilfældet hver gang et nyt land tiltræder EU, give sit samtykke til optagelsen af Tyrkiet.
Small wonder then that, given the importance of the relationship with Turkey to the future of the EU, MEPs are keen that their views should be brought to bear at this early stage.
Ria Oomen-Ruijten (EPP-ED, Holland) er ordfører på et udkast til en ny resolution om tiltrædelsesforhandlingerne med Tyrkiet.
Ria Oomen-Ruijten explains
Vi fik mulighed for at stille hende et par spørgsmål.
EP rapporteur, Dutch Christian Democrat Ria Oomen-Ruijten explained the report and how she sees the future of EU-Turkey relations.
Hvad er formålet med resolutionen, der vil blive diskuteret og stemt om i denne uge i Udenrigsudvalget?
What is the purpose of the motion for resolution that will be discussed and voted upon in the Foreign Affairs Committee this week?
Til november vil Kommissionen offentliggøre sin rapport om fremskridtene i Tyrkiet.
In November the European Commission will present its progress report on Turkey.
Der vil blive stemt om denne resolution før præsentationen af rapporten.
This resolution will be voted before the presentation of this report.
Derfor er formålet ikke at reagere på Kommissionens rapport, men derimod at udpege nogle emner, som vi mener, at Kommissionen bør fokusere på.
Therefore, its purpose is not to react to the progress report, but to address those issues on which the Commission should focus while examining Turkey's progress.
Først og fremmest sigter resolutionen mod at udvide horisonten for Kommissionens rapport.
Most important, Parliament's Resolution aims to widen the scope of the Commission's report.
Vi ønsker f.eks., at følgende skal indgå: ... den sociale sammenhængskraft, mere information om samfundsdialogen mellem EU og Tyrkiet... og den social-økonomiske udvikling i det sydøstlige Tyrkiet.
We want, for example, to strengthen the need for social cohesion, more information on the EU-Turkey Civil Society Dialogue and effective involvement...in the social-economic development of South East Turkey.
Hvad er i dag Tyrkiets stærkeste og svageste sider som EU-kandidatland?
What are today the strongest and weakest points of Turkey as a candidate country for EU membership?
Grunden til at Kommissionen udgiver disse "fremskridtsrapporter" er for at identificere stærke og svage sider.
The reason the Commission issues progress reports is to identify the strongest and weakest points.
Regeringen har allerede tilkendegivet, at den føler sig forpligtiget til at fortsætte reformprocessen.
The government has already indicated that it is strongly committed to the reform process.
Det er et positivt signal.
This is a positive sign.
Hvad vil i dine øjne være de vigtigste faktorer, der fremover vil afgøre forholdet mellem EU og Tyrkiet?
What in your view will be the fundamental factors which ultimately determine the nature of the relationship between the EU and Turkey?
Hvad vil i sidste ende være vigtigst: Tyrkiets egnethed til at tiltræde eller EU´s vilje til at acceptere det?
What will matter more in the end: Turkey's readiness to join, or the EU´s readiness to accept it?
"Alle medlemslande og Tyrkiet skal ratificere resultatet af forhandlingerne.
In the end all Member states and Turkey must ratify the outcome of the negotiations.
Europa-Parlamentet spiller i den sammenhæng også en vigtig rolle.
The European Parliament also has a voice.
Det er endvidere nødvendigt med folkelig opbakning til udvidelsen... det er i dag for tidligt at spå om, hvad der vil ske.
Popular support for enlargement is needed...At this time, it is too soon to predict the outcome.
Tiltrædelsesforhandlingerne blev åbnet i 2005, og det var begyndelsen til en lang og åben proces."
The accession negotiations were opened in 2005 and that was the starting point for a long lasting and open-ended process.
I resolutionen fokuseres blandt andet på følgende emner: Hærens rolle i Tyrkiet, repekt for de fundamentale menneskerettigheder, beskyttelse af kvinders rettigheder, forbud mod tortur og beskyttelse af minoriteters rettigheder.
Among other issues highlighted in the draft resolution for further action are: the role of the army, respect for fundamental human rights and freedoms, protection of women's rights, implementation of the zero-tolerance-to-torture policy as well as protection of minority and cultural rights.
Næste skridt?
What's next?
Der vil blive stemt om udkastet til resolutionen den 24. oktober under Parlamentets samling i Strasbourg.
The EP draft resolution will be voted on during the 24 October plenary session, following statements by the Council and the Commission.
Kommissionens rapport om fremskridtene i Tyrkiet bliver offentliggjort den 7. november.
The Commission's annual progress report on Turkey will be published on 7 November.

Europaparlamentsvalg 2009: Stil op i det land, som du bor i
MEPs who represent "foreign" fields
Europaparlamentsvalg i 2009
Will more people in future pull back the curtain on foreign voting?
Ifølge Maastricht-traktaten har enhver EU-borger ret til at stemme og stille op til kommunal- eller europarlamentsvalg i det land, som han eller hun er bosat i.
For the last 15 years European citizens living in another European country have been able to vote in that country's local and European elections.
Det er dog stadig relativt få, der benytter sig af denne mulighed, og spørgsmålet er, om det vil ændre sig i forbindelse med europaparlamentsvalget i 2009.
The numbers of foreign voters has been rising and there are even some MEPs who have been elected in a country other than their own.
Selvom der siden valget til Europa-Parlamentet i 1994 er blevet registreret et generelt fald i valgdeltagelsen (45,6 % i 2004 mod 56,8 % i 1994), er andelen af EU borgere, der stemmer fra et andet EU land en deres eget mere end fordoblet (12 % i 2004 mod 5,9 % i 1994).
The number of "foreign" voters rose to 12% in 2004 from 5.9% in 1994 due, in part, to more people moving around Europe.
En finsk rallykører, valgt ind i Frankrig og en fransk studenteroprører valgt ind i Tyskland.
In the 2004 European elections just 57 candidates of 8974 stood in a country other than there 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.
We spoke to the four who were elected about their reasons for standing and their experiences.
Det skal nu være endnu lettere, mener Kommissionen, der også vil gøre det lettere at stemme til Europa-parlamentsvalget i et andet EU-land.
Why did you decide to stand as a candidate in a country other than your own?
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog den 26. september en betænkning af Andrew Duff (ALDE, Storbritannien), der bakker op om Kommissionens udspil men kommer med et par forslag til forbedringer.
Daniel Strož, (a Czech MEP for the leftist GUE/NGL group): Originally I was a citizen of the Czech Republic.
MEP'erne er enige med Kommissionen i, at det skal gøres lettere at overføre valgret og valgbarhed til Europa-Parlamentet til andre lande, blandt andet ved at mindske det administrative besvær.
After the events in 1968 I moved to Germany, where I worked as an exiled journalist, publicist and publisher, which led to my Czechoslovak citizenship being rescinded.
MEP'erne mener, at det i disse tilfælde skal være op til de berørte medlemslande at behandle hvert tilfælde separat for at undgå diskriminering.
Ari Vatanen (EPP-ED, 1981 Finnish world rally champion elected in France): One does not decide these kinds of things - life has brought me here.
Vi spurgte en række MEP´er, der er blevet valgt ind i Parlamentet i andre lande end deres egne, om deres erfaringer.
Life is all about bridge building, and now I have a slightly bigger hammer in my hand.
Hvordan og hvorfor besluttede du dig for at stille op som kandidat i et andet land end dit eget under sidste/tidligere europaparlamentsvalg?
Does the fact of being elected by a country of which you are not a national affect your parliamentary work?
I 1996 syntes jeg, at tiden var kommet til at involvere mig mere i politik.
I feel at home in both cultures.
Daniel Strož (GUE/NGL, Tjekkiet, valgt ind i 2004): "Svaret er simpelt: Jeg var oprindeligt statsborger i Tjekkiet.
This is also of great benefit for my constituency, as the Bundesland of Lower-Saxony borders the Netherlands.
Efter begivenhederne i 1968 flyttede jeg til Tyskland, hvor jeg arbejdede som eksil journalist... det kostede mig mit tjekkoslovakiske statsborgerskab.
Daniel Strož: I have the feeling, that the citizens of the Czech Republic...appreciate my political experience gained during almost a quarter century in Western European.
Efter sovjetblokkens sammenbrud i 1989 kom jeg til Tjekkiet, hvor jeg som "udlænding med permanent opholdstilladelse" fortsatte mit politiske arbejde."
The fact that I cooperate closely with my German colleagues - not only with those from my own political group - I consider this as self-evident.
Schuth: " Bortset fra at jeg stadig har mit hollandske pas, kan jeg ikke se, at det skulle påvirke mit parlamentariske arbejde.
I have always considered it to be real added value that an MEP can work in many EU countries with the same legitimacy.
Det er også en stor fordel for min vælgerkreds, eftersom Nedre-Sachsen grænser op til Holland."
Unfortunately this feeling is not very common among MEPs.
Vatanen (EPP-DE, Finland) : "I det daglige er arbejde er der ikke den store forskel.
When people live abroad, few of them bother to vote, why is this?
Når alt kommer til alt, handler den politiske kamp i Europa-Parlamentet ikke om lande men om politiske familier.
Willem Schuth: People living in another EU country tend to be not very aware of national politics as the main reason for moving is usually job-related.
Heldigvis bliver jeg stadig ofte inviteret til forskellige møder af finner..."
We need to speed up political integration.
Relativt få EU borgere gjorde brug af deres ret til at stemme og stille op som kandidat i det land, som de var bosat i under det sidste valg til Europa-Parlamentet.
Political parties could open up more to EU citizens living in their country.
Hvorfor tror du, at det forholder sig sådan?
Ari Vatanen: The low turnout in the elections is due to laziness and lack of awareness of voting possibilities.
Frassoni (De Grønne, Italien, valgt ind i 1999 og 2004) : " Jeg mener, at det både er et spørgsmål om information, interesse og viden om det land, som man bor i, samt manglende viden Europa-Parlamentets "europæiske" værdi..."
Standing as a candidate in another country is nearly impossible because politicians want to retain their own seat and therefore foreigners are seen as "thieves" instead of useful messengers.
Strož: Folk der bor i andre lande har ofte ikke kendskab til det lokale samfund.
Monica Frassoni: I believe it is a question of information, of interest and knowledge of the political life in the host country as well as of the lack of consciousness of the "European" value of the EP.

Satguru Baba Ji i Europa-Parlamentet
Indian guru Satguru Baba Ji, EP President discuss spiritual side of politics
Satguru Harder JI i Europa-Parlamentet
Indian guru brings enlightment
Europa-Parlamentet fik den 26. september besøg af den åndelige leder Satguru Baba Hardev Ji.
The European Parliament has received its fair share of religious leaders and on 26 September it was the turn of Indian spiritual leader Satguru Baba Hardev Ji.
Besøget er det første i en række af ligende møder forud det europæiske år for interkulturel dialog i 2008.
He leads the Sant Nirankari Mission, a spiritual movement dedicated to human welfare and promoting the idea of universal brotherhood.
Satguru Baba Ji er leder af Sant Nirankari Missionen, der er en åndelig bevægelse dedikeret til menneskeligt velvære og universelt broderskab.
Satguru Baba Ji was invited by the chair of the India Delegation, Neena Gill and met with EP President Hans-Gert Pöttering in the context of next year's European Year of Intercultural Dialogue.
"Jeg er overbevist om, at religiøse ledere der er dedikeret til fredelig og tolerant sameksistens kan bidrage med enormt meget til vores samfund.
Following the meeting, Mr Pöttering said, "I am convinced that religious leaders dedicated to peaceful and tolerant co-existence can make an enormous contribution to our societies.
Jeg støtter særligt Satguru Baba Ji- bevægelsens initiativ om at styrke den interreligiøse dialog i det sydøstlige Asien.
I particularly welcome the initiative of Satguru Baba Ji's movement in promoting interfaith dialogue in South Asia.
Vi talte med Satguru Baba Hardev Ji i Strasbourg, og kom blandt andet ind på emner som viden, åndelighed og fredelig sameksistens mellem mennesker.
We talked with Satguru Baba Hardev Ji in Strasbourg about knowledge, spirituality and the peaceful coexistence of people and cultures:
Du har netop mødt Parlamentets formand Hans-Gert Pöttering.
Your Holiness, you have just met Hans-Gert Pöttering.
Hvilken værdi har møder mellem åndelige og politiske ledere?
What value is there in meetings between spiritual leaders and political leaders?
Hvilket budskab ønskede du at sende ham?
What message did you wish to convey to him?
Vi diskuterede Sant Nirankari Missionens værdier og principper om at skabe et universelt broderskab.
Principally we were discussing the principles and values of the Nirankari Mission.
