Sarkozy: Europa må ikke gå i stå Den franske præsident Nicolas Sarkozy præsenterede torsdag formiddag prioriteterne for det franske formandskab.
Finally, the last day of the session saw French President Nicolas Sarkozy lay out his plans for his country's presidency of the EU over the next six months.
Han fortalte parlamentsmedlemmerne, at yderligere udvidelser af EU ikke vil være muligt uden Lissabon-traktaten og nye institutionelle ordninger.
The opening debates saw the controversy over alleged Italian plans to fingerprint Roma children being debated.
Mange politiske grupper støttede det franske formandskabs prioriteter, men enkelte kritiserede manglen på sociale aspekter samt Sarkozys deltagelse i åbningsceremonien ved de Olympiske Lege i Kina.
MEPs expressed concern that the measures could breach some fundamental rights whilst others defended the Italian government saying that some opposition Italian MEPs were using Parliament to make domestic political capital.
Det blev resultatet, efter Europa-Parlamentet onsdag vedtog at ændre forretningsordenen.
Also Monday MEPs gave their first assessment of the 2009 budget with many calling for the climate change priorities to be reflected in it.
Sodavand og slik med særlige farvestoffer skal mærkes MEP'erne vedtog tirsdag en række nye regler for tilsætningsstoffer i fødevarer.
Tuesday saw the situation in Afghanistan debated with many MEPs calling for the EU to play a larger role.
Flytrafikkens udledninger af CO2 skal med i Kyotoaftalen fra 2012 Flytrafikken er den transportform, der udleder mest CO2 pr. passager, men hidtil har flyselskaberne ikke været omfattet af den kvoteordning, der gælder for andre transportformer.
In a key vote MEPs backed including aircraft emissions in the EU's Emissions Trading Scheme by 2012.
Fra 1. januar 2012 skal udledninger fra alle fly, der lander eller letter i EU, være omfattet af CO2-kvotesystemet.
Wednesday saw MEPs vote to support liberalisation of Europe's gas industry through the separation of supply and production.
Det vedtog Europa-Parlamentet tirsdag, da et flertal bakkede op om en aftale mellem Parlamentets ordfører og Rådet.
Relations with China were also debated with calls for dialogue between the Dalai Lama and Beijing to be supported.
De mener, at landet er blevet en form for test-case for den internationale udviklingsbistand og lægger vægt på, at den civile indsats skal styrkes.
MEPs also called for the European Union and China to building closer political, economic and cultural relations.
EU's politiske rolle i området skal desuden gøres tydeligere, mener MEP'erne.
The day also saw a debate on the number of Palestinians held in Israeli jails (some 11,000), with MEPs calling on Israel to respect international law.
Gasledning bekymrer MEP'ere En rørledning gennem Østersøen kan have konsekvenser for havmiljøet.
Thursday saw French President Nicolas Sarkozy address the House at the start of France's presidency of the Union.
Derfor er Parlamentet modstander af, at der bliver investeret i et så stort projekt, uden at der først foreligger en positiv miljøkonsekvensvurdering.
He stressed the importance of Europe developing distinct policies on climate change, energy, immigration and defence.
I en betænkning, som blev vedtaget tirsdag, ser MEP'erne nærmere på miljøkonsekvenserne af den 1200 km lange gasrørsleding, som skal transportere gas fra Rusland til Tyskland.
This has been just a taster of what happened in Strasbourg.
Parlamentets betænkning kommer efter mere end 30.000 borgere har udtrykt deres bekymring.

Monday: Ingrid Betancourt, budget 2009 and Roma
MEP'erne drøftede desuden budgettet for 2009, italienske planer om at oprette en fingeraftryksdatabase for romaer samt nye regler for tilsætningsstoffer.
MEPs on Monday also debated the budget for 2009, Italy's plans to set up a Roma finger print database and new rules on food additives aiming at strengthening consumer protection.
Hans-Gert Pöttering fortalte forsamlingen, at han selv havde været i telefonkontakt med Uribe torsdag efter løsladelsen.
Hans-Gert Pöttering welcomed the liberation of Ingrid Betancourt and told the House that he last week invited her to the EP as soon as she has recovered.
"Det understreger, at demokratiet aldrig må give efter for terrorisme, og bestræbelserne på at frigive alle gidsler skal fortsættes," sagde Pöttering, der også appellerede til FARC om at nedlægge våbnene og opfordrede til, at alle gidsler blev sat på fri fod.
Mr Pöttering appealed to Farc and all terrorist organisations to "release their prisoners" and "seek a peaceful solution".
Der har været udtrykt bekymring for om disse tiltag er i overensstemmelse med EU's regler om borgernes grundlæggende rettigheder.
Concerns have been expressed as to the compatibility of these procedures with EU non-discrimination rules and fundamental rights as well as the promotion of integration measures.
Andre forsvarede den italienske regerings tiltag, og beklagede at Europa-Parlamentet blev brugt som platform for en indenrigspolitisk italiensk debat.
Other members intervened to defend Italian government action and complained that the debate was being exploited in order to use the European Parliament in pursuit of a national political agenda.
Martin Schulz (PSE, Tyskland) fortalte kort før afslutningen på debatten, at han havde modtaget et opkald fra den italienske udenrigsminister Franco Frattini, der havde forsikret ham om, at den italienske regering i samarbejde med Kommissionen vil sikre, at alle beslutninger der vedtages vil være i overensstemmelse med både den italienske forfatning og EU´s grundlæggende principper.
Towards the end of the debate, Martin Schulz, leader of the PES group, informed the House of a call he had received from Franco Frattini, Italian Foreign Minister, to provide reassurances that the Italian government was in consultation with the Commission and would ensure that all action taken would of course be in accordance with both the Italian Constitution and the relevant EU laws and fundamental principles.
Budgettet 2009 MEP´erne diskuterede for første gang Kommissionens formelle udkast til EU-budgettet for 2009.
Budget - MEPs give their first assessment The Parliament held its first discussion based on the formal draft EU budget for 2009.
Endvidere kræver udvalgsmedlemmerne flere midler til kampen mod klimaændringer og endelig skal budgettet gøres mere forståeligt for EU-borgerne.
Also on Monday MEPs also debated the Airbus/Boeing WTO disputes over subsidies (where a resolution will follow Tuesday) and 4 proposals (co-decision recommendations for with a 2nd reading vote to be held Tuesday), on rules for authorising food additives, flavourings and enzymes.
Andre emner Flytrafikken er den transportform, der udleder mest CO2 pr. passager, men hidtil har flyselskaberne ikke været omfattet af den kvoteordning, der gælder for andre transportformer.
The new procedures will assist the free movement of food within the EU and also give better health and consumer protection, including clearer labelling of certain food colourings.
Fra 1. januar 2012 skal udledninger fra alle fly, der lander eller letter i EU, være omfattet af CO2-kvotesystemet.
You can watch all the debates live from Strasbourg here on the Parliament's website.
EU skal desuden forpligte sig til at opnå en global klimaaftale.
Rebuilding Afghanistan: MEPs want the EU to play a larger role Efforts of the international community to stabilise Afghanistan were debated by MEPs Tuesday.
MEP´erne vedtog også en række nye regler for tilsætningsstoffer i fødevarer.
Law and order and the level of humanitarian assistance were just aspects that were touched upon.
En af nyskabelserne bliver, at det for fremtiden skal stå på f.eks. slik og sodavand, hvis de indeholder nogle af de farvestoffer, der er mistænkt for at give børn allergi eller gøre dem hyperaktive.
Members called for the distinction between military and civilian actions to be continued.

Stabilising in Afghanistan debated
EU´s politikker i Afghanistan skal gøres mere synlige Tirsdag debatterede MEP´erne situationen i Afghanistan, statsejede investeringsfonde, den tysk-russiske rørledning gennem Østersøen og inddragelse af luftfartsektoren i EU´s CO2-kvotesystem.
The House debated a report on the situation in Afghanistan.
EU's rolle i Afghanistan Parlamentet vedtog tirsdag en betænkning om situationen i Afghanistan, hvori det fastlås, at det internationale samfund skal være bedre til at koordinere arbejdet i landet.
The report noted the bleak background to EU activities in that country - notably a rise in terrorist acts and a continued insurgency, a seriously deteriorating security situation and increased opium production.
MEP´erne lægger vægt på, at den civile indsats skal styrkes, og herudover skal EU's politiske rolle i området gøres tydeligere.
It went on to point out that despite the efforts of the international community and the partial success as regards civil reconstruction, more than half of the inhabitants of Afghanistan are living below the poverty line and the country's economy is one of the weakest in the world, with 40% unemployment.
I initiativbetænkningen, som oprindeligt var udformet af André Brie (GUE/NGL, Tyskland ), noterer MEP'erne sig, at EU primært er kendt i området som en humanitær organisation.
The debate dealt with the military situation on the ground and the state of humanitarian assistance.
De mener dog, at der er brug for at sætte mere fokus på EU's politiske indflydelse, og opfordrer derfor Kommissionen til at foreslå strategier til, hvordan EU kan styrke sin synlighed.
The debate also touched on law and order issues - in particular the EU's assistance programme to the Afghan police force.
MEP'erne henviser til, at FN's årlige rapport om situationen i Afghanistan påpeger, at mængden af oprørs- og terroraktiviteter steg kraftigt i 2007.
The policy of the United States towards poppy production and relations with Pakistan were also touched upon.
Over 1500 civile var blandt de mere end 8000 konfliktrelaterede dødsfald, hvilket er det højeste antal siden Talibans fald i 2001.
There was widespread recognition from around the House that the lasting effects of the wars that have taken place in the country: millions of victims, refugees and the material destruction of large tracts of the countryside.
I betænkningen understreges det, at en væsentlig styrkelse af den politiske vilje og engagement i Afghanistan er påkrævet.
German MEP André Brie (GUE/NGL) drafted the report but subsequently withdrew his name over the call for additional troops from EU countries voted by the House.
Der skal ikke kun følges op med flere kampstyrker, men også med en styrket indsats i forhold til den civile opbygning af landet, påpeger MEP'erne.
He was one of several speakers to refer to the 7 July terrorist attack to the Indian embassy in Kabul: "The situation has gone worse over the last three years.
MEP'erne er desuden bekymrede over præsident Kazais afvisning af at underskrive et udkast til massemedielov, og er bekymret over udviklingen i forhold til ytringsfriheden, der er i fare, når bloggere og journalister bliver dømt.
At the end of the debate, Parliament adopted the report calling for a larger political role for the EU in Afghanistan and stressing the need to maintain the distinction between military and civilian actions by all actors.
De opfordrer den afghanske regering til at garantere reel mediefrihed og lægge ud med beskyttelse af internetfriheden.
Parliament also called on the US government to abandon its crop eradication policy and notably the use of hazardous chemicals for aerial sprayings.
Subprimekrisen og dens følger rettede en uventet opmærksomhed mod de statsejede investeringsfonde, hvilket skabte nye muligheder for disse fonde, som i en række tilfælde har reddet visse store banker.
MEPs called for more openness and clarity about how the funds operate, a global code of conduct and an analysis of the functioning of global financial markets.
Økonomi- og Valutaudvalgets Formand, Pervenche Berès (PSE, Frankrig), åbnede debatten og talte om den voksende bekymring over "fremkomsten af store midler fra oliemonarkier" og "andre lande med store handelsoverskud".
French Socialist MEP Pervenche Berès heads parliament's Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee, she opened the debate and spoke about the growing concern in SWF due to "the emergence of large funds from the "oil monarchies" and "other countries with large trade surpluses".
Endelig anbefalede MEP´erne oprettelsen af et globalt adfærdskodeks.
The day saw two eagerly awaited votes, which could have far-reaching implications:
Andre emner Flytrafikken er den transportform, der udleder mest CO2 pr. passager.
Aircraft emissions: Parliament voted legislation to include aviation in the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS).
Fra 1. januar 2012 skal udledninger fra alle fly, der lander eller letter i EU, være omfattet af CO2-kvotesystemet.
This would affect all flights starting and or landing in Europe (including intercontinental flights) to be included in the ETS from 1 January 2012.
Derfor er Parlamentet modstander af, at der bliver investeret i et så stort projekt, uden at der først foreligger en positiv miljøkonsekvensvurdering.

MEP´erne opfordrer i beslutningsforslaget de kinesiske myndigheder til at tage højde for, at advarsler om jordskælv udgør en målestok for et lands udvikling, og understeger, at det derfor er nødvendigt at reagere aktivt og omgående på enhver advarsel fremover.
A few MEPs spoke of the "improvement" they had noticed in the human rights situation in the country.
MEP'erne understreger betydningen af støtte fra EU, medlemslandene og det internationale samfund i genopbygningsfasen i de berørte områder, og noterer sig med tilfredshed, at Kina uden tøven har taget imod bistand fra det internationale samfund.

Thursday: Sarkozy sets out priorities for French EU presidency
Nicolas Sarkozy præsenterer formandskabets prioriteter Den franske præsident, Nicolas Sarkozy, præsenterede torsdag formiddag prioriteterne for det franske EU-formandskab.
Thursday, 10 July, Strasbourg: Mr Sarkozy makes his point Nicolas Sarkozy gave an impassioned speech in the European Parliament Thursday spelling out the priorities of his country's 6 month tenure at the helm of the EU.
De kommende seks måneder vil formandskabet fokusere på klimaændringer, indvandring, forsvar og landbrug.
Energy, climate change, immigration and the need for Europe to develop a defence policy were areas he identified as needing action.
Herudover var torsdag eftermiddag reserveret til den traditionelle menneskerettighedsdebat.
On energy and climate change Mr Sarkozy was adamant: "we are the last generation that can prevent a catastrophe - the world cannot wait, Europe has to show the way".
Det vil enten være Lissabon-traktaten eller Nice-traktaten, der vil være gældende.
He went on to say that "Europe is not a fortress, Europe needs immigrants but it cannot absorb all the people".
Den franske præsident understregede desuden, at yderligere udvidelser vil afhænge af fornyelse i institutionerne.
Later in the speech the French Presidency called on the European Union to embrace a more active defence policy.
"Jeg hører til dem, der beklager, at vi ikke har skabt nye institutioner før udvidelsen, og den fejl betaler vi for i dag.
Europe has no military, no human resources to make enforce the decisions made together" he told MEPs.
Vi har alle et tungt ansvar for at bringe Europa ud af den nuværende krise", sagde Sarkozy.
Is it reasonable to demand Europe to reduce food production?" he asked.
Formandskabets prioriteter Sarkozy betegnede klima- og energipakken som en meget vigtig prioritet.
He told MEPs that he hoped to suggest a solution in agreement with Irish government by October or December.
Sarkozy understregede desuden, at det var vigtig ikke at være naive i forhold til at kræve meget af de europæiske virksomheder, som man ikke kræver af virksomheder uden for EU.
He then turned to the importance of making sure that progress is made.
Også immigrationspolitikken og en europæisk forsvarspolitik er blandt Frankrigs prioriteter.
He told the House that it was important to "reassure Europeans" and show that Europe is working for everyone.
Sarkozy sagde, at han håbede på en "undtagelse" til de frie markedsregler, når det kom til sport.
Mr Sarkozy also stressed the need "to bring everybody on the board of the European family.
For eksempel kunne han ikke se det rimelige i, at fodboldklubber der har optrænet unge talenter skal se deres arbejde gå tabt.
A multi speed Europe only the last resort" he said.
Sarkozy sluttede med at lægge op til en mere åben debat om EU.
Finally, he urged action saying that despite the institutional problems "we are not condemned to immobility - we have to act immediately".
Menneskerettigheder Torsdag eftermiddag vedtog Parlamentet 3 beslutninger.
Following the traditional Thursday afternoon debates on human rights the House adopted 3 resolutions calling for:
I den anden opfordres Bangladesh til at ophæve undtagelsestilstanden og afholde frie parlamentariske valg.
Bangladesh to lift the state of emergency and hold free elections.
