MEP'erne bakker op om Kommissionens forslag om, at medlemslandene senest 5 år efter direktivet er gennemført skal kortlægge de områder, der er truet af f.eks. enten erosion, jordskred, ørkendannelse, forsuring.
On the former, the report notes that "democratic neighbours who are clearly identifiable as European countries and who respect the rule of law may in principle [...] apply for membership of the Union."
Der skal i disse kortlægninger også tages højde for konsekvenserne af disse jordforringelser i form af f.eks. forværring af drivhusgasudledningerne, ørkendannelser eller tab af menneskeliv.
It believes that the gradual integration of the EU's Eastern neighbours into the European Energy Community should be pursued, and also suggest the setting-up of an "EU-Neighbourhood-East Parliamentary Assembly (EURO-NEST)" to strengthen parliamentary cooperation.
Medlemslandene skal også fastsætte mål til reduktionen af disse risici og en tidsplan for gennemførelse af foranstaltningerne til beskyttelse af jorden.
The report also underlines the need for stronger EU involvement in the resolution of so-called frozen conflicts, condemns the continued human rights violations and the use of the death penalty in Belarus, and says serious consideration should be given to ways of involving Kazakhstan in the ENP.
Forurenede grunde skal kortlægges
Southern Mediterranean Neighbourhood
I forslaget lægger Kommissionen op til, at medlemslandene skal kortlægge forurenede grunde, og grunde, der kan være forurenet, fordi der tidligere har fundet særlige aktiviteter sted (deponeringsanlæg, lufthavne, havne, militære anlæg, aktiviteter, der falder ind under direktiver for integreret forureningsforebyggelse og -kontrol osv.).
On the latter, the committee says human rights clauses' implementation mechanisms need to be included in the next-generation accords that will be signed between the EU and countries in the region, and regrets that so far, no substantial progress has been made in terms of democracy or human rights since the beginning of the European-Mediterranean Partnership.
Forslaget indeholder en liste over disse potentielt forurenende aktiviteter.
The report also notes that any new initiatives for the region need to involve a relaunch of the Euro-Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly (EMPA), with a serious look at its difficulties of the past few years.
Det er dog et punkt der fortsat er diskussion om mellem de politiske grupper, og en fælles liste over de potentielt forurenende aktiviteter, der skal tages hensyn til i kortlægningen af grunde kan godt finde vej tilbage til teksten under afstemningen i salen tirsdag.
MEPs also underline that "respect for universal human rights and fundamental freedoms are the core principle of EU policy," and stressed that civil society and a free media must be supported everywhere, "regardless of the degree of willingness of partner countries' governments to cooperate and to share in these values."
MEP'erne i miljøudvalget ønsker desuden at medlemsstaterne skal sikre, at en køber af en potentielt forurenet grund skal orienteres om de tidligere aktiviteter.
MEPs in the committee welcome the longer-term aim of establishing a neighbourhood-wide free trade area and advocate that visa facilitation and readmission agreements be negotiated with all ENP countries.
Udvalget sagde god for Kommissionens forslag om, at medlemslandene syv år efter direktivet er gennemført skal udarbejde oprydningsstrategier for de forurenede grunde, på det 'administrative niveau' de finder hensigtsmæssigt.
The report emphasises the importance of people-to-people contacts, for instance, by involving ENP countries in the Erasmus Mundus student exchange programme and by encouraging the Commission to set up city and region-twinning programmes.
Disse strategier skal som minimum indeholde en procedure for fastsættelse af mål for oprydningen og for finansieringen af denne.

Flytrafikken skal være omfattet af handlen med CO2-kvoter
Soil: special legislation needed
Miljøudvalget støtter EU-Kommissionens forslag om, at flytrafikken skal være omfattet af EU's ordning for handel med drivhusgasser, men kræver skrappere krav til grænserne for CO2 udledning og mener, at også fly mellem EU og tredjelande skal være omfattet af ordningen allerede fra 2010 - og ikke 2012, som foreslået af Kommissionen.
Floods, landslides, desertification and climate change are among the reasons why a thematic strategy for soil protection is needed in Europe, according to an own-initiative report drafted by Vittorio Prodi (ALDE, IT) on behalf of the Environment Committee.
Flytrafikken er den transportform, der er med til at udlede mest CO2 pr. kilometer pr. passager.
Soil degradation is a serious problem in Europe, entailing erosion, contamination, salinisation, compaction, decline in biodiversity and organic matter, floods and landslides.
Det er langt mere miljøvenligt at tage bilen eller endnu bedre toget, hvis man vil undgå udledning af CO2.
As soil formation and regeneration is a slow process, soil must be regarded as a non-renewable resource.
Og stigningen i drivhusgasudledningerne fra fly er enorm, påpeger parlamentets ordfører Peter LIESE (PPE-DE, DE) i sin betænkning, som Parlamentet skal diskutere mandag aften.
The problem is caused or exacerbated by certain agricultural, forestry and industrial practices, tourism, urban sprawl and construction work.
I forhold til 1990 er emissionerne fra fly steget med ca. 100 %, hvilket står i skarp modsætning til Kyotomålene og EU's egne mål.
It has a direct impact on water and air quality, biodiversity and climate change, and can affect human health as well as the safety of food and animal feed.
Derfor ønsker Miljøudvalget også at stramme yderligere op på Kommissionens forslag.
An impact analysis carried out for the Commission suggests soil degradation may cost up to €38 billion per year.
Luftfartsoperatørerne vil derefter kunne købe kvoter fra de andre sektorer, der er omfattet af EU-ordningen.
Soil protection measures are spread across many other EU policy areas.
Alle flyvninger skal være omfattet fra 2010
However these are now proving insufficient and MEPs in the committee agree with the Commission that a coordinated approach is now needed.
Miljøudvalget ønsker, at alle flyvninger, både de interne flyvninger i EU og flyvningerne til og fra tredjelande allerede fra 2010 skal være omfattet af ordningen.
They say that "in addition to national bottom-up approaches, a European strategy" is required, though they emphasise that Member States must shoulder their responsibilities and that "regional and local authorities should play a major part in formulating objectives and plans".
(Kommissionen havde foreslået,. at de interne flyvninger skulle være omfattet fra 2011 og de eksterne fra 2012).
The first new piece of legislation deriving from thematic strategy is a directive on soil protection ( see below ).
Som ordføreren Peter LIESE har sagt: "Det er svært at forklare, at et fly fra Storbritannien til Marokko ikke er omfattet, mens et fly fra Storbritannien til de Kanariske Øer vil være omfattet,"
However, MEPs in the committee also stress the need to ensure synergy with existing Community directives on groundwater, nitrates, sewage sludge, waste and other areas.
Hvis selskaberne vil udlede mere, skal de købe sig til flere kvoter.
This, notes the text, effectively means reducing global greenhouse gas emissions "by at least 50% by 2050 compared to the 1990 level".
Muligheden for at handle kvoter på tværs af grænser indenfor Europa skal sikre, at reduktionerne sker der, hvor det økonomisk er mest hensigtsmæssigt.
The cumulative growth of aviation CO2 emissions amounts to 87% since 1990, in stark contrast to the EU's overall greenhouse gas reduction target under the Kyoto Protocol, which is 8%.
Statsoverhoveders flyvninger skal også være omfattet
All flights to be covered by 2010
Hvor Kommissionen havde foreslået at flyvninger for monarker og statsoverhoveder skulle være undtaget, mener Miljøudvalget, at der ikke er grund til at undtage disse fra flyvninger fra ordningen.
As rapporteur Peter LIESE (EPP-ED, DE) commented earlier, "It is difficult to explain that a flight from the UK to Morocco is not covered by the scheme while a flight from the UK to the Canary Islands [would] be covered."

Beskæftigelse og klimaændringer øverst på EU's dagsorden i 2008
Sounder funding arrangements for European political parties
I næste uge skal Europa-Parlamentet drøfte Kommissionens arbejdsprogram for 2008.
A European Commission proposal to allow European political parties to finance campaign activities for the 2009 elections is backed by the EP Constitutional Affairs Committee.
Som noget nyt er der lagt stor vægt på kommunikationsaspektet, hvor Kommissionen lægger op til at prioritere emner som Reformtraktaten, energi og klimaforandringer samt det europæiske år for interkulturel dialog.
The existing legislation on the financing of European political parties needs to be amended to enhance the European nature of Parliament's elections, and European political parties should enjoy more flexibility in managing their funds and financing their electoral activities, says the committee in a report by Jo Leinen (PES, DE).
Den 23. oktober fremlagde Kommissionen sit arbejdsprogram for 2008.
No funding of national parties permitted
Det behandler mange af de mest presserende emner i dag – vækst og beskæftigelse, klimaændringer, energi, indvandring og udvidelse.
The report as approved in committee also endorses the general principle that in no circumstances should these funds constitute direct or indirect financing of other parties and particularly of national parties and candidates.
Kommissionen ser fremad
More financial stability
For bedre at afspejle den nuværende flerårige karakter af de fleste af Kommissionens aktiviteter har programmet et nyt afsnit, som udelukkende vedrører områder, hvor arbejdet i 2008 vil indebære konsekvensanalyser og høringer, som kan resultere i specifikke initiativer i fremtiden.
Moreover, the new legislation would introduce the possibility of accumulating reserves, over several years as own resources, of up to 100% of parties' average annual income.
Partnerskab med medlemsstaterne
These resources would consist of donations, contributions from member parties and individual members.
Forslagene afspejler mange af de centrale aspekter, som Kommissionen ønsker at fremme.
It is also proposed that the EU general budget may finance up to 85% of the expenditure of a European political party or foundation, compared with 75% now.
Blandt de vigtigste initiativer skal fremhæves følgende:
EU political parties: Parliament against Council decision to split regulation
Årlig statusrapport vedrørende Lissabon-strategien til drøftelse på forårets topmøde.
On Thursday 25 October 2007, the European Parliament President Hans-Gert Pöttering strongly criticised the decision of the COREPER, the Council body, to split in two the Regulation on the financing of European political parties, currently under examination of the House.
Der vil blive lagt særlig vægt på betydningen af uddannelse.
The decision was also disapproved by Parliament rapporteur on this subject, Jo Leinen (PES, DE), and Commission.
Hvidbog om tilpasning til klimaforandringerne.
President Pöttering said: "We urgently call on the Council to reconsider its decision".
Energipakken, hvor det vigtigste element er en statusrapport om gennemførelsen af EU's ambitiøse energistrategi fra marts 2007.
Rapporteur Jo Leinen opposed the decision for having "excluded the representatives of the citizens of the EU from the decision-making procedure".
Indvandringspakken, hvis primære formål er at styrke kontrollen ved EU's ydre grænser, dels for at hindre ulovlig indvandring, dels for at styrke sikkerheden for EU's borgere.
He also said: "It cannot be up to bureaucracy and some ministries of finance and then to governments alone to decide on this matter".
Asylpakken, hvis vigtigste element er en policy-del, der skal skitsere hovedlinierne i et fælles europæisk asylsystem.
Also the vice-President of the Commission, Margot Wallstrom intervened in the debate in the plenary.
Reformtraktaten prioriteres højt
She said the EU Executive opposes the decision.
I programmet beskrives også følgerne med hensyn til kommunikation og de områder inden for kommunikation, som efter planen skal prioriteres højt på interinstitutionelt plan i 2008:
She criticised the exclusion of the EP from the decision-making procedure, since the subject is closely linked to Parliament's business.
Det europæiske år for interkulturel dialog.
The governments' representatives also asked the Commission to put forward a new proposal accordingly.

Sarkozy i Parlamentet
Physical education should be compulsory in schools
Tirsdag den 13. november er der højtideligt møde med den franske præsident Nicolas Sarkozy.
The number of EU children who are overweight or obese is growing by an estimated 400,000 per year, yet, according to a study done for the Culture Committee, the average time that primary schools allocate to physical education has fallen from 121 to 109 minutes per week since 2002.
Præsidenten, som i andet halvår af 2008 vil stå i spidsen af EU under det franske formandskab, vil tale til MEP'erne om sine visioner for Europa.
The report calls on Member States to make physical education compulsory in primary and secondary schools, ensure that the timetable includes at least three physical education lessons a week, and ensure "a higher degree of integration" between sports and academic subjects.
Han har allerede bebudet, at han ønsker, at Frankrig skal være blandt de første lande, der skal ratificere den nye Lissabontraktat.
MEPs in the committee underline that physical education is the only school subject that seeks to prepare children for a healthy lifestyle and focuses on their physical and mental development.
Hvis det står til den franske præsident Nicolas Sarkozy, vil Frankrig allerede inden jul kunne ratificere Lissabontraktaten.
"I hope that the report will draw attention to the problem and the need to improve the general health for children," said Mr Schmitt after the vote.
Det franske formandskab andet halvår 2008
Spain, Portugal and Italy report overweight and obesity levels exceeding 30% among children aged 7-11.
Prioriteterne for det franske formandskab i andet halvår af 2008 allerede lagt fast.
The rates of the increase in childhood overweight and obesity vary, with England and Poland showing the steepest increases.
En af de store hovedopgaver bliver at forberede ikrafttrædelsen af den nye traktat, som hvis alle lande ratificerer i tide, kan træde i kraft den 1. januar 2009.
In overall terms, children are less fit compared to the generation of the 1970s and 1980s.
Det betyder også, at Frankrig kan blive det sidste land, som kommer til at stå i spidsen for et af de skiftende formandskaber for EU.
It is not such much a higher calorie intake that causes overweight, but physical inactivity: children do not eat more - they move less.
Udover traktaten vil immigration, energipolitik og bæredygtig udvikling være nogle af hovedpunkterne under det franske formandskab, sammen med spørgsmålet om sikkerhed og beskyttelse af borgerne samt vækst og beskæftigelse.
The Environment Committee, in a report drafted by Karin Scheele (PES, AT), is recommending that Parliament approve with amendments - at first reading under the codecision procedure - a proposal for a regulation on Community statistics on public health and health and safety at work.
Mere konkret ønsker det franske formandskab at fremme nogle veldefinerede emner såsom vedtagelsen af en miljø-pakke, udbyggelsen af det indre marked, særligt i forhold til energi, gennemgang af de europæiske politikker og deres finansiering, og ikke mindst reformen af den fælles landbrugspolitik efter 2013.
The aim of the regulation is to establish a legal framework for the production of statistics in these two areas (replacing the gentlemen's agreements which have hitherto been the norm), thereby making statistics more reliable and consistent.
Nicolas Sarkozy ønsker at nedsætte en højtstående refleksionsgruppe i slutningen af året, som skal komme med et bud på Europas fremtidige opgaver og prioriteter i perioden 2020-2030.
Among its amendments the committee calls for the increase in the proportion of women on the labour market to be taken into account, and for gender and age be included in the breakdown variables.
Nicolas Sarkozy ønsker, at denne gruppe skal sammensættes af vismænd, historikere, geografer, filosoffer og forretningsmænd og -kvinder og af personer der repræsenterer alle kulturer.
It also wants complementary financing for the collection of the data in the field of health and safety to be provided under the Community programme for employment and social solidarity (PROGRESS).
Denne gruppe skal komme med sine konklusioner og forslag i 2009.

Endelig åbning af grænserne til nye medlemslande
Airbus currently repays loans at the rate of 300 to 400 million euros a year.
Fra den 31. december vil borgerne fra de medlemslande, der blev medlem af EU i 2004, endelig kunne rejse uden pas og grænsekontrol inden for Europa.
The report reviews the areas on which MEPs believe work needs to be done, including Ukraine's accession to the WTO, the creation of a free trade area with the EU (and Ukraine's long-term prospects for integration with the EU), energy supplies and relations with Russia.
Tirsdag vil det portugisiske formandskab meddele, at ni lande fra 31. december 2008 kan åbne deres grænser.
However, Ukraine must introduce EU-compatible customs legislation and improve the functioning of its customs service.
I realiteten vil åbningen dog finde sted den fra 21. december, hvor den portugisiske premierminister vil krydse grænsen til det kommende formandsland Slovenien.
Ukraine should place more emphasis on the knowledge economy and increase the proportion of its GDP allocated to scientific research.
Det er nu snart slut.
Regulatory cooperation between the EU and Ukraine on plant health is needed.
Parlamentet støtter op om ministrenes beslutning om at ophæve grænsekontrollen ved de indre grænser med ni af de nye lande (Estland, Tjekkiet, Ungarn, Letland, Malta, Polen, Litauen, Slovenien og Slovakiet).
And Ukraine should develop environmental programmes (key issues include the drinking water distribution network and action to prevent the deterioration of the Black Sea).
For grænseovergangene på land vil åbningen ske fra den 31. december, mens det i forhold til lufttrafikken vil være fra 29. marts 2008.
The report calls on Ukraine to develop its economic relations with the Russian Federation in a way which would not hamper closer integration into the Community's Single Market.
For Cyperns vedkommende er der lagt op til at de kan implementere aftalen i 2009.
A three-way dialogue between Ukraine, Russia and the EU should be promoted by the Commission, to foster a climate of security and peace in the region.
Som en symbolsk gestus vil den portugisiske premierminister og nuværende formand for EU den 21. december krydse grænsen til Slovenien, som er det næste land, der skal have formandskabet for EU.
On the crucial issue of energy supplies, the report calls for full implementation of the EU-Ukraine Memorandum of Understanding on energy cooperation and stresses the need for a safe, transparent and reliable system of energy transit between Ukraine and the EU.
Udover at give sin opbakning til Rådets beslutning vil MEP'erne vedtage et fælles beslutningsforslag, hvor de kommer med et politisk budskab om denne historiske beslutning.
Lastly, the committee welcomes the opening of negotiations between Ukraine and EU with a view to concluding a new Partnership and Cooperation Agreement .
Medlemmerne bifalder de nye medlemslande for den enorme indsats de har gjort for at imødekomme alle kravene fra Schengen-aftalen på kort tid, og understreger behovet for at skynde på implementeringen af anden generation af Schengen-informationssystemet (SIS II).
But MEPs in the committee are concerned about the lack of a strategic vision for development and stabilisation in Eastern Europe and they stress the need for Ukraine's integration to become a real political priority on the EU agenda.
Derudover indebærer Schengen-samarbejdet også en styrkelse af landenes samarbejde om at bekæmpe grænseoverskridende kriminalitet, illegal indvandring m.m.
On 5 November, the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee adopted a resolution accepting IFRS 8, but expressing reservations about some of its implications – and the process used to adopt this and other accounting standards.
Storbritannien og Irland deltager kun i visse dele af Schengen-samarbejdet, nemlig det politimæssige og retlige samarbejde om straffesager, bekæmpelse af narkotika og etableringen af informationssystemet SIS, og Schweiz har endnu ikke gennemført aftalen.
The committee says the IASB should review IFRS 8 two years after it come into force, and that the Commission should follow closely the application of IFRS 8 and report back to the European Parliament no later than 2011, inter alia regarding reporting of geographical segments, segment profit or loss and use of non-IFRS measures.
Cypern forventes at kunne implementere aftalen i 2009 og for Rumænien og Bulgarien er tidshorisonten i øjeblikket sat til 2011.
The endorsement of accounting standards is delegated to the Commission under legislation adopted by the Council and Parliament in 2002, but the EP still has the right to scrutinise proposals before the Commission acts.
Danmark har været siden den 25. marts 2001 deltaget fuldt ud i Schengen-samarbejdet.
While Parliament’s position in such cases is not formally binding, when it comes to financial services legislation, the Commission has undertaken to take the fullest possible account of Parliament’s views.

Andragender: MEP'erne ønsker bedre overholdelse af EU-regler
Poverty still too widespread, says Employment Committee
Udvalget for andragender, som tager sig af henvendelser og klager fra borgerne, modtog I 2006 ikke færre end 1016 andragender fra borgere, som mente at der var problemer med at gennemføre EU-lovgivningen i deres lande.
In an own-initiative report on Social Reality Stocktaking, the Employment and Social Affairs Committee calls on the Commission and Member States to pursue "an ambitious objective of reducing poverty, especially among working people, in Europe".
