For det første for forskermiljøet.
First of all: on the scientific community.
Det er en anerkendelse, en stor opmuntring og inspiration for alle IPCC´s forskere.
It is an acknowledgement, a great encouragement and inspiration for all the scientific members of the IPCC.
Det andet er, at det har bragt klimaændringer ind i folks bevidsthed over hele verden.
The second impact has been in elevating climate change in the consciousness of people all over the world.
Nobelprisen har helt sikkert knyttet en stor grad af vigtighed til emnet.
The Nobel Peace Prize certainly attaches a great deal of importance to the issue.
For mig personligt har det betydet, at jeg rejser helt vanvittigt meget for tiden (latter).
As for me, I'm going absolutely crazy travelling (laughs).
Det har jeg det ikke særligt godt med, men budskabet bliver spredt ud.
This doesn't make me feel very good but the message has to be spread.

Forskellige påsketraditioner
MEPs share their Easter with us
De fleste europæere har allerede fejret påsken, selvom nogle ortodokse stadig venter på, at den skal komme.
Most Europeans have already celebrated Easter though for some in the Orthodox Church the celebrations are still to come.
Påsken er den største jødiske fest og den vigtigste og ældste kristne fest.
Easter is the most important religious festival for Christians and Jews celebrate Passover around the same time.
For nogle er påsken først og fremmest en religiøs højtid, der tilbringes sammen med familien og de nærmeste.
For some Members we spoke to, Easter is primarily a religious occasion and a time to be with family and friends.
Ljudmila Novak (Gruppen for Det Europæiske Folkeparti (Kristelige Demokrater) og De Europæiske Demokrater, Slovenien) fortalte os at "I Slovenien er vi tilbøjelige til at tilbringe påsken sammen med familien.
Ljudmila Novak (EPP-ED) told us that "in Slovenia we tend to accent the Easter celebration on spending time with the family and therefore we go to the church every day from Thursday to Monday together".
Bastiaan Belder (Gruppen for Selvstændighed og Demokrati, Holland): "Jeg tilbragte påsken sammen med min kone, børn og vores fire børnebørn - hele familien sammen.
Independent Dutch MEP Bastiaan Belder told us that "we celebrated Easter with my wife, children and four grandsons, the whole family together.
Påsken har en helt særlig religiøs betydning for os - der ikke blot tale om en fridag.
Easter has a very special religious meaning to us and it is not just a day off.
Påskesøndag tog vi hen til den protestantiske kirke, hvor tusinde mennesker var mødt op".
On Easter Sunday we went twice to the protestant Church with 1000 people attending".
Satu Hassi (Gruppen De Grønne/ Den Europæiske Fri Alliance, Finland): "Påskemandag spiste vi middag sammen med nogle venner hjemme hos os.
Finnish Green MEP Satu Hassi described her weekend; "o n Easter Monday we had a dinner with some friends at home with lamb steak and Easter dessert called pasha.
Vi fik lammesteg og en påskedessert, der hedder pasha".
For Easter decorations we had daffodils in the table and an "Easter Witch" in the window".
Gamle traditioner
Easter is a time for tradition...
Den liberale rumænske MEP, Adina-Ioana Vălean, fortalte os: "Efter en lang periode på mere end seks uger begynder fejringen af påsken om fredagen forud for påskesøndag.
Romanian Liberal MEP Adina-Ioana Vălean told us that "a fter a long lent period that lasts for more than six weeks the Easter celebrations start on Friday before the Easter Sunday.
Lørdag aften, efter en religiøs ceremoni, spiser alle brød og drikker vin".
On Saturday night after a religious ceremony everyone eats bread and wine and take home the light – the candle they held during the procession".
Andres Tarand (De Europæiske Socialdemokraters Gruppe, Estland): "I Estland maler børn æggene i forskellige farver, og derefter gemmer de voksne dem.
Estonian Socialist Andres Tarand told us that "children in Estonia paint eggs in different colours and then adults hide them – we say that they’re brought by rabbits.
Folk giver piletræsgrene til hinanden og spørg børnene om "solen danser".
People also offer branches of willow katkin to each other.
Et nyt liv og et nyt år
Easter is a celebration of a new year...
Kathy Sinnott ( Gruppen for Selvstændighed/Demokrati, Irland): "For mig er påske en fejring af forår og nyt liv.
Spanish Green MEP David Hammerstein sees Easter as "a celebration of spring, new life, so I turned it into a working celebration and gave several press conferences in defence of ecology.
Jeg fejrer påsken på sekulær vis med en symbolsk middag.
I will also celebrate the Jewish Easter .
Jeg vil tænke på befrielsen af de mennesker, som kæmper mod undertrykkelse, f.eks. tibetanerne".
I celebrate it in a secular way with the symbolic dinner and I will think about the liberation of all people fighting against oppression, like in Tibet".
Feleknas Uca (Den Europæiske Venstrefløjs Fællesgruppe/Nordisk Grønne Venstre, Tyskland) tilbragte den 21. marts i Diyabakir i Tyrkiet, hvor hun fejrede Newroz - det kurdiske nytår".
German MEP Feleknas Uca (GUE/NGL) spent 21 March in Diyabakir in Turkey, celebrating Newroz – the Kurdish New Year.

MEP'ere fordømmer volden i Tibet og diskuterer boykot af OL
Today in plenary - MEPs debate the situation in Tibet and the outcome of the European Council
Under en debat i Parlamentet onsdag, fordømte MEP'erne de voldelige overgreb i Tibet.
Tibet under the spotlight in the European Parliament
MEP'erne understreger, at EU i forbindelse med OL skal forsøge at presse Kina til at løse situationen på en fredelig måde.
MEPs debated the situation in Tibet with some MEPs calling for a possible boycott of at least the opening ceremony of the forthcoming Olympic Games to be held in China this summer while others said that a boycott would be futile.
Spørgsmålet om boykot af åbningsceremonien ved OL stod centralt i debatten, og flere MEP'ere mente, at dette kunne være en mulighed, mens andre understregede, at det var vigtigt ikke at isolere Kina.
Many MEPs called for freedom for Tibet and underlined the human rights abuses in China and called for maximum restraint.
MEP'erne diskuterede også resultatet af forårstopmødet den 13.-14. marts.
The House also debated the outcome of the last European Council of 13 and 14 March with Slovenian PM Janez Janša.
Debat om situationen i Tibet
Situation in Tibet - European Parliament President Hans-Gert Pöttering
Han erklærede tillige Parlamentets solidaritet med Dalai Lama, og læste en meddelelse fra Dalai Lama til Europa-Parlamentets medlemmer, hvori Dalai Lama takker for Parlamentets indsats i en svær tid.
He called on the Beijing authorities "to negotiate with the Dalai Lama and, while respecting the territorial integrity of China, to reach an understanding that respects and guarantees the cultural and religious identity of the Tibetan people".
Politikere skal overveje deres deltagelse i åbningsceremonien
The Dalai Lama has accepted an invitation to address the EP in December as part of the Year of Intercultural Dialogue.
I forhold til at boykotte OL's åbningsceremoni, sagde Pöttering: "Enhver ansvarlig politiker bør spørge sig selv om han kan deltage i åbningsceremonien, hvis den kinesiske ledelse ikke bestræber sig på dialog og forsoning.
Mr Pöttering then said that while he himself was due to attend the opening ceremony of the games in August, "Every responsible politician must ask the question, whether he can take part in the opening ceremony if the Chinese leadership does not seek dialogue and compromise".
Vi ønsker at bidrage til, at atleter fra hele verden kan mødes og udkæmpe frie og retfærdige konkurrencer.
"We wish to contribute to an outcome whereby the world's athletes can meet in fair and free competitions in Beijing.
Men med vores værdier og vores selvrespekt kan vi ikke gå på kompromis med vores principper.
But our values and our self-respect will not allow us to surrender our principles.
Vi har i Europa-Parlamentet et særligt ansvar i den forbindelse"
We in the European Parliament have a special responsibility in this regard."
Boykot ikke vejen frem
He then called for both sides to show restraint and try to "establish a constructive dialogue.
Han sagde, at den slovenske udenrigsminister havde bedt den kinesiske udenrigsminister om at indlede en dialog med Dalai Lama og sikre løsladelsen af demonstranter.
He concluded by telling MEPs that the Slovenian foreign minister has asked his Chinese counterpart to engage in dialogue with the Dalai Lama and to release all peaceful protestors.
"Vi er meget bekymrede over uroen og volden i Tibet," sagde hun.
The Commission, she said, was "deeply concerned about the unrest and the violence, violence is never justifiable".
"Vi opfordrer de kinesiske myndigheder til ikke at bruge vold mod fredelige demonstranter.
Commissioner Ferrero-Waldner called on the Chinese authorities to exercise maximum restraint and not to use force.
Kommissionen har opfordret Kina til at give de uafhængige medier frie hænder.
She also called for independent media access in Tibet and welcomed the announcement from the Chinese of an upcoming media visit on 26-28 March which would include international correspondents.
Unionen støtter en fredelig forsoning mellem de kinesiske myndigheder og Dalai Lama .
The Commissioner called for substantial dialogue between the Chinese and the Tibetans.
En varig løsning kan kun opnås på fredelig vis," sagde udenrigskommissæren, og hun understregede, at det skulle være en løsning, der respekterer tibetanske kultur og identitet.
The International Community had always respected the territorial integrity of China.
I forhold til OL, sagde kommissæren, at Kommissionen ikke opfatter OL som en politisk begivenhed, men understreger, at legene skal afholdes i respekt for værdier som fred og med respekt for ytringsfriheden.
Human rights are a matter of international concern and not solely internal matter, the Commissioner said.
"Vi vil følge nøje med i udviklingen i den nærmeste fremtid.
People had the right to demonstrate peacefully.
Det mest presserende spørgsmål er, hvordan vi i Unionen kan arbejde sammen for at sende et stærkt budskab til kineserne og tibetanerne," sluttede hun.
The Olympic Games, the Commissioner said, are not a political event.
Accepterer ikke et land. som dræber sine borgere
She called for the event to be carried out in respect of the Olympic spirit which included the freedom of speech and freedom of the media.
Han talte om de olympiske lege som symbol på fred, og spurgte: "Hvordan kan verdens atleter mødes og konkurrere, hvis værtslandet samtidig dræber sine egne borgere?"
He posed the question: 'how can athletes from the whole world come together and compete in joy and harmony, while at the same time, the State that is hosting the games is killing its own citizens?'
Han mente ikke, at det var tid til at boykotte legene, men understregede, at det var vigtigt komme med klare krav.
Mr Szájer concluded by stating that 'this is not the time for us to boycott the Olympic Games', in particular with just 5 months to go.
Isolering af Kina gavner ikke Tibet
He did however point out that 'we should be quite unequivocal about the demands that we put forward.'
Pasqualina NAPOLETANO (PSE, IT) var tilfreds med, at Parlamentet fik mulighed for at diskutere sagen, inden udenrigsministrene skulle mødes.
Pasqualina NAPOLETANO (IT) for the PES began by stating that 'I hope it's going to be useful to raise the voice of the European Parliament' in this respect.
Hun mente, at man ikke skulle gå så meget op i, hvem der tager til åbningsceremoni, og hvem der ikke gør.
She emphasised that the request of the Dalai Lama for an independent commission to go to Tibet should be acted upon to 'shed light' on events there and that a negotiated solution should be found which would respect the existing UN resolutions.
"Dalai Lama har sagt, at en isolering af Kina hverken hjælper Kina eller den tibetanske sag," sagde hun og opfordrede EU-landenes regeringer til at stå sammen og tage ansvar.
With regard to the Dalai Lama in particular, Ms Napoletano pointed out that 'the political role of the Dalai Lama cannot be substituted' and that he is the 'guarantor of balance.'
Ikke blåstemple Kina ved åbningen
In conclusion, Ms Napoletano stated that the isolation of China will not help the Tibetan cause or human rights in general.
Marco PANNELLA (ALDE, IT) mente at det var vigtigt at høre på hvad Dalai Lama sagde.
Marco PANNELLA (IT) for the ALDE group reminded his colleagues of the Europe which existed 70 years ago - the 'cowardly, anti-liberal Europe' of fatherlands which said they 'weren't going to die for Danzig.'
"Solana havde ikke behøvet at sige så højt at han ville med til åbningen af OL," sagde Panella, der mente, at det var vigtigt at se mere pragmatisk på, hvad der kan gøres og sørge for ikke at blåstemple Kinas gerninger ved åbningen af OL.
Mr Pannella asked his colleagues to read Spinelli again and to compare that manifesto with the words of the Dalai Lama.
Kun OL hvis menneskerettigheder overholdes
He pointed out that 'we in Europe are being cowardly ... we're losing the sand through our fingers.'
Cristiana MUSCARDINI (UEN, IT) havde håbet, at Kina havde vist, at de var klar til at kaste sig ud i en ny æra med overholdelse af menneskerettigheder i forbindelse med OL.
Cristiana MUSCARDINI (IT) for the UEN group by saying that due to the imminence of the Olympic Games, 'we all entertained hopes that China's development was not just that of an economic and trade power.'
Han håbede, at man gennem almindelige borgeres protester kunne gøre styret i Kina opmærksom på deres overtrædelser, og opfordrede folk der tog til Kina for at overvære legene at demonstrere mod styret.
"40 years ago we had people raising their fists in the air because they were trying to put an end to discrimination against blacks in the US," he said, "In Beijing, we don’t want athletes with blood on their feet" He said he hoped that through ordinary citizens' protest, Tiananmen Square could become the square of freedom.
EU burde have gået imod Kina som værtsland
"We insist as Greens that anyone going to Beijing should create chaos by making their point and letting the Chinese know we are aware of what is going on."
Vittorio AGNOLETTO (GUE/NGL, IT) sagde, at forsvaret for menneskerettigheder i Kina hverken begynder eller slutter med OL.
Vittorio AGNOLETTO (IT) (GUE/NGL) said that defence of human rights in China does not start or finish with the Olympics.
"Det er et blodigt diktatur, og det truer Tibet.
"European leaders will be guilty if they fail to recognise what is happening in Tibet", he said.
Siden Hang-dynastiet har Kina været overbevist om, at de var bedre end resten af verden, og det fortsætter under kommunismen," sagde Louis, som mente at de europæiske ledere ville være en del af skylden, hvis de ikke vil indse hvad der sker i Tibet.
"For 60 years," he said, "China has been lording it over Tibet and a lot of European intelligentsia have been taken in", including the left-wing protesters of the 1960s and 70s: None of them stuck up for oppressed Asians, he said.
Styret udsletter identitet og kultur
MEPs debate the outcome of the latest Spring Summit
Bruno GOLLNISCH (NI, FR) sagde, at det kinesiske folk er et af de mest intelligente og arbejdsomme i verden, men det er ikke nok til at skjule, at deres styre er undertrykkende.
Prime Minister Janez Janša underlined the achievements of the summit: "we launched a more modern three-year cycle of the Lisbon Strategy, one that affords a better balance between concerns for people and the environment on the one hand and a competitive, knowledge-based market economy on the other, we confirmed the basic principles and the timeframe for the adoption of the energy and climate change package, and we defined the further steps to be taken in order to stabilise financial markets."
"Tibet lider under dette styre, der ønsker at udslette alt identitet og kultur," sagde han og rettede kritiske bemærkninger mod de venstreorienterede 1968-generationen som ikke råbte lige så højt om undertrykkelsen dengang,
Slovenian Prime Minister Janš a underlined "in the field of knowledge and innovation , the European Council therefore introduced a ‘fifth freedom’ to remove barriers to the free movement of knowledge.
Debatten i Parlamentet blev overværet af formanden for det tibetanske parlament i eksil, Karma Chopel, var til stede i salen for at overvære debatten.
It will enable the mobility of talent and open access to knowledge and innovation, which will attract even more Europeans to creative processes.
Den 10.april vil Parlamentet vedtage et beslutningsforslag om situationen i Tibet.
New opportunities to tap European research and development potential are also provided by the establishment of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology approved by the European Parliament two weeks ago."
Debat om Det Europæiske Råd 13.-14. marts 2008
Honourable Members of the European Parliament, success also lies in your hands.
Under samlingen debatterede MEP'erne også resultaterne af det seneste topmøde.
Only with the timely adoption of the package will we justify the expectations of the citizens of Europe and send a positive signal to our partners throughout the world, especially in the light of negotiations on a comprehensive post-Kyoto agreement next year in Copenhagen".
Formand for Rådet, den slovenske premierminister Janez JANŠA understregede de vigtigste resultater fra topmødet og lagde især vægt på relanceringen af Lissabonstrategien, som i højere grad skal skabe balance mellem hensynet til borgerne og miljøet på den ene side og hensynet til at skabe en konkurrencedygtig vidensøkonomi på den anden side.
On the Union for the Mediterranean and the new reflection on the eastern dimension, Prime Minister Janša said "a great deal of attention was paid to the agreement on strengthening the Barcelona Process.
Han var også tilfreds med, at topmødet havde bekræftet hovedprincipperne i den store klima- og energi-pakke, og at der var blevet defineret yderlige skridt i forhold til at skabe stabilitet på finansmarkederne.
In my view, the major achievement was placing a debate that was previously limited to closed circles and informal channels on an institutional footing.
I forhold til viden og innovation understregede Jansa at Det Europæiske Råd havde introduceret 'den femte frihed' - den fri bevægelighed for viden.
Within the Barcelona Process – the Union for the Mediterranean will involve all EU Member States and other non-EU Mediterranean states.
I forhold til forhandlingerne om klima-pakken var Jansa tilfreds med, at stats- og regeringslederne var blevet enige om, at arbejdet med klima-pakken skal gøres færdigt inden udgangen af 2008 og inden valget til Europa-Parlamentet i juni 2009.
Considering the tried and tested practices of the Barcelona Process, it is understood that the European Parliament – a very important actor in the Euro-Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly – will be engaged in the debate in appropriate ways.
Han var også tilfreds med, at det var lykkedes at få debatten om Middelhavsunionen, (forslag om at skabe en union af EU-lande og Middelhavets kyststater, der ikke er medlem af EU) op på et institutionelt plan.
Since the Slovenian Presidency is striving for a balanced approach to the neighbourhood of the European Union, we also wish to draw attention to the eastern dimension of European Neighbourhood Policy, which must be strengthened in line with the Mediterranean dimension.
Sandhedens time
But we have still a great deal more to do."
"Vi skal sørge for at 2008 bliver et nøgleår for Europa."
He spoke of the EU's readiness to consider alternatives.
Turbo på den europæiske videnskabspolitik
Speaking for the EPP-ED, Joseph DAUL (FR) said the current situation was "a difficult international period."
Joseph DAUL (PPE-DE, FR) erkendte, at den nuværende økonomiske situation ikke var let, og at udsigterne for 2008 var mindre lovende, end man kunne håbe.
The 2008 forecast is less that what we had hoped for.
"Vi vil sætte turbo på den europæiske videnskabspolitik," sagde han og understregede, at den fri bevægelighed for viden skulle styrkes, og at udvekslinger af studerende og professorer i den forbindelse er vigtigt.
Mr Daul stressed the importance of free movement of researchers, and improved mutual recognition of qualifications.
Martin SCHULZ (PSE, DE) talte også om den 'femte frihedsrettighed' - den fri bevægelighed for viden.
Martin SCHULZ (DE) for the PES group said that growth was stable but was under threat.
I forhold til Middelhavsunionen, mente Schulz, at det var vigtigt, at inddrage Europa-Parlamentet, da det er Parlamentet der skal være med til at sørge for finansieringen.
He warned against the Council and Commission ignoring the European Parliament as none of the official documents submitted to the European Council came from the European Parliament.
Topmøde fuld af løfter, men mangle handling
Mr Schulz underlined the need to involve industry in the fight against climate change.
Adina-Ioana VĂLEAN (ALDE, RU) sagde med henvisning til debatten om klimaændringerne, at topmøderne ofte var fulde af løfter men manglede handling.
Finally, Mr Schulz said that the Eastern dimension should be given equal weighting to the Mediterranean dimension.
Hun ønskede mere fokus på energieffektivitet.
For the ALDE group, Adina-IOANA VĂLEAN (RO) said that often rhetoric was greater than action at European Councils.
"Regeringerne skal gå foran med et godt eksempel," sagde hun og beklagede, at det ikke var kommet konkrete krav til mere energieffektivitet i regeringsbygninger og -biler i topmødekonklusionerne.
Ms Valean stressed the importance of energy efficiency saying that earlier drafts of the Council conclusions had suggested that governments reduce by 10 per cent their carbon emissions but in the final conclusions read only "substantial progress".
Hun mente også, at mange borgere ville have svært ved at genkende topmødekonklusionernes positive billede af den europæiske økonomi.
Ms Valean also cautioned against excessive optimism on the economic outlook given the US fundamentals.
Han advarede dog om, at mens 73 % af den nuværende arbejdsstyrke stadig vil være på arbejdsmarkedet i 2017, vil det kun være 10 % af den nuværende teknologi, der stadig bruges.
Brian CROWLEY (IE) for the UEN said: "The reality is that the real barrier to growth is not the sub-prime market in the US but our inability to take risks and find innovation in crisis areas.
Der er derfor stort behov for at investere i de nye teknologier nu, og uddanne folk så de kan fungere i den nye økonomi, understregede Crowley.
At every stage of industrial development in the last 100 years, either the US or the EU has been at the core of new industry and upturns" But, he warned that by 2017, whereas 73% of the workforce will be people who are already at work today, only 10% of the technology we will be using is there now, so we need to invest in those new technologies now.
"At åbne op for undtagelser vil være et ganske negativt signal at sende, hvis man ønsker at overbevise andre om at deltage," sagde hun.
'How can we talk of exceptions if we are to persuade others internationally to toe the line on climate change?", she asked.
Dimitrios PAPADIMOULIS (GUE/NGL, GR) efterlyste større oprigtighed i forhold til præsentationen af topmødets resultater.
Dimitrios PAPADIMOULIS (GUE/NGL, GR) emphasised the lack of success at the Summit and the weakness of various positions.
