Cairo, Egypt, 6 Feb 2011: Hundreds of Coptic Christians hold a Mass in Tahrir sq to show their support for pro-democracy protestors. ©BELGA/ZUMAPRESS MEP Mário David heads Parliament's delegation for relations with Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan Europe could offer Egypt future help in building democratic institutions As the political drama in Cairo continues to play itself out with uncertain outcome, unprecedented negotiations between the government and the opposition took place Sunday.
Vi talte med formanden for Europa-Parlamentets delegation til Egypten, Syrien, Libanon og Jordan, Mário David (EPP, Portugal) for at høre hans holdning til den seneste udvikling.
As the situation is so fluid we spoke by phone to Portuguese MEP Mário David (EPP) who heads Parliament's delegation for relations with Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan.
Søndag var der direkte forhandlinger mellem den egyptiske regering og oppositionen.
President Mubarak remains in place but first negotiations between government and opposition took place Sunday in Egypt.
Tror du, at vi vil komme til at se en fredelig overgang til demokrati?
Do you believe a peaceful democratic transition is possible?
Det er ikke et spørgsmål om tro.
Mário David : It's not a question of believing.
Jeg håber , at vi bliver vidner til en overgang til demokrati i Egypten.
I hope we can witness a democratic transition in Egypt.
Den rolle, som Egypten spiller i området, hele landets historie, kultur og de værdier, som befolkningen i Egypten står for, fortjener demokrati.
The role that Egypt plays in the area, the whole of history, the culture, the values that the population of Egypt stands for deserve to have democracy, deserve to have their problem solved in a democratic way.
Hvad er din holdning til den rolle, som EU har spillet i forhold til udviklingen i Egypten?
What about the EU's position on the Egyptian crisis?
Jeg beklager, at Europa ikke har været mere tilstedeværende.
MD : I really regret that Europe is not very present.
Men jeg forstår det ikke: Vi har en ny traktat [Lissabontraktaten], der for første gang giver os fundamentet for en fælles udenrigspolitik.
We have a new treaty, the treaty of Lisbon, we have for the first time the ground for a common and foreign policy.
Men selv med alle disse nye instrumenter fortsætter hovedstæderne [i medlemsstaterne] med at udsende deres egne redegørelser.
And then, with all these instruments, each capital continues to issue its own statement, each diplomatic service continues to do its own job as if nothing existed.
Hver diplomatisk tjeneste fortsætter med at markere sig individuelt.
Unfortunately we witness some leaders issuing statements and even more unfortunately coming from the most democratic and economically important countries of Europe.
Jeg mener ikke, at det er den rette måde at beskæftige sig med europæisk udenrigspolitik på.
So I don't think this is the way that actually we should deal with European foreign policy and the new Foreign Service (The European External Action Service).
Hvad bør EU gøre, hvis der om et par måneder atter er et udemokratisk styre i Egypten?
What will the EU do if there is a new regime in a few months?
Jeg mener, at vi skal gøre alt, hvad vi kan for at hjælpe til med opbygningen af demokratiske institutioner - men igen, kun såfremt der et ønske om det.
I think that everything we can do to help in institutional democracy building should be one of our main targets but, once again, only if requested.
Den egyptiske revolutions skæbne vil sende et signal om, hvilken vej det vil gå i de andre lande.
MD : It certainly will and the fate of the Egyptian revolution will say which way it will go in other countries.
Jeg er i øjeblikket Israel, hvor jeg for nylig hørte en meget interessant tale af præsident Peres, hvor han redegjorde for baggrunden for krisen.
I am in Israel at present (as part of a delegation of MEPs) and I heard a very interesting speech from President Perès, mentioning the main reasons for what happened in Egypt.
Han mente ikke, at der var tale om anti- amerikanske eller anti- israelske demonstrationer, men derimod om folk, der i skjorter og jeans kæmper for deres rettigheder og imod fattigdom.
There was no anti-American crisis, no anti-Israel shouting, it was people in shirts and jeans fighting for their rights, fighting against poverty.

Short selling og credit default swaps (CDS) kan destabilisere markederne
Short selling: banking on others' misfortune or just hedging bets?
Pascal Canfin Man tjener som regel kun penge på sine aktier og obligationer, hvis priserne på værdipapirerne stiger.
Pascal Canfin discusses his report on short selling and CDS Favours ban on naked CDS, short selling More transparency, reporting of positions Need for uniform implementation of rules across the EU Most people who invest in shares and bonds only profit if prices rise.
Vi talte med Pascal Canfin (Greens/EFA, Frankrig), der i øjeblikket arbejder på en betænkning om short selling og credit default swaps (CDS).
French Green Pascal Canfin's report on short selling and credit default swaps (CDS) was discussed in the Economic Affairs Committee in January.
Målet er ifølge Canfin at identificere de potentielle risici i det finansielle system, der vil kunne udløse en ny krise.
He talked to us about what needs to be done to make the business of short selling safer for everybody.
"Vi har med finanskrisen set, hvad der er af omkostninger ved et selvreguleret finansielt system".
The aim is to identify "the potential risks in the financial system that could trigger the next crisis", he said."We have seen with the financial crisis the costs of having a self regulated financial system; I was not elected to let that happen again."
Hvad er short selling?
So, what is short selling?
Shortselling går kort sagt ud på, at man først låner et antal aktier for et lånegebyr.
It's a trading strategy that allows an investor to profit from falling prices.
Forskellen mellem hvad man solgte de lånte aktier for, og hvad man måtte betale for at købe dem tilbage, er nu ens gevinst.
But you had better be right because if the share price rises, you lose money.
Hvad er CDS?
And a CDS?
Credit default swaps (CDS) en form for forsikring mod misholdelse af obligationsforpligtelser, hvilket vil sige en forsikring mod at virksomheden bag obligationerne går konkurs.
A credit default swap is a form of insurance against default.
Almindelige investorer kan dog købe CDS uden at eje obligationerne, som de forsikrer imod.
If you have bought bonds in a company, but are afraid the company will go bust, you buy a CDS and the seller reimburses the money owed to you by the company if it goes bust and can't buy back the bond.
Det vil sige, at investorer kan indgå “et væddemål” mod en anden i markedet omkring sandsynligheden for konkurser.
If the company stays in business you simply lose the price of the CDS.
Short selling gør markederne mere effektive, da investorerne både kan handle i forhold til stigende såvel som faldende priser.
Short selling makes markets more efficient, as investors can trade on rising as well as falling prices and the CDS allows investors to insure against risk.
Ifølge kan Canfin kan disse produkter føre til "øget volatilitet og overeaktion på markederne".
Many jurisdictions are moving to ban or seriously limit naked instruments.
Da det amerikanske finansielle system kom ud i stormvejr ville alle investorer, store som små, sælge bankaktier, fordi de forventede implosion.
For example, when the US financial system wobbled and everyone expected an implosion, they rushed to sell bank shares.
Short sellers opkøbte aktier og dumpede dem på markedet, hvilket førte til store kursfald og ustabilitet på de finansielle markeder.
Short sellers borrowed shares and dumped them on the market leading to large price drops, fostering instability and contagion .
Da den græske økonomi krakkede, ville alle købe CDS, selv investorer, der ikke ejede græske obligationer (naked CDS), men som alligevel ville blive kompenseret i tilfælde af misholdelse.
The US prohibited short selling of bank shares for a while
Den større efterspørgsel på CDS, medførte højere forsikringspriser (altså priser på CDS), hvilket igen førte til øget mistro til græske statsobligationer.
When Greece had problems, investors rushed to buy CDS , including investors who did not own Greek bonds, but who would get paid in the event of a default.
Forbud mod såkaldte naked CDS og naked short sales
Mr Canfin is in favour of banning naked CDS and short sales .
I betænkningen opfordres der til, at man fra EU´s side forbyder de såkaldte naked CDS og naked short sales: "Selvfølgelig vil forbuddet mod naked CDS ikke løse de finansielle problemer, som Grækenland eller Irland står over for.
"Of course the ban on naked CDS will not solve the fiscal problems of Greece or Ireland.
Men ikke desto mindre, når du står over for en sådan situation, kan du enten vælge at hælde benzin på bålet eller kaste vand på det.
Nevertheless, when you face such a situation, you can choose to add fuel to the fire or put water on it.
Disse instrumenter bør ikke anvendes længere som et spekulativt værktøj", vurderer Canfin.
These instruments should not be used as a speculative tool anymore."
"Illoyal konkurrence mellem europæiske handelssteder udgør en vigtig risiko.
"Unfair competition between European trading venues is a more important risk.
Derfor har virkelig vi brug for en stærk Europæisk Værdipapir- og Markedstilsynsmyndighed ( ESMA ) for at opnå en ensartet gennemførelse af reglerne i hele Den Europæiske Union".
That is why we really need a strong ESMA" (European securities and markets authority) in order to have a uniform implementation of rules across the EU.

Debat med Herman Van Rompuy om sidste uges EU-topmøde
MEPs question President Herman Van Rompuy on the outcome of EU summit
Formanden for Det Europæiske Råd, Herman Van Rompuy, i Europa-Parlamentet tirsdag den 8. februar 2011 Lederne af Europa-Parlamentets politiske grupper afholdte tirsdag et særligt møde med formanden for Det Europæiske Råd, Herman Van Rompuy, hvor de drøftede resultatet af sidste uges EU-topmøde.
President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy prepares to debate the Summits outcome with MEPs MEPs discuss impact of recent EU summit Meeting discussed energy plans, economy and turmoil in Egypt President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy attended today (8 February) a special meeting with the leaders of the political groups open to all MEPs as he reported the outcome of Friday's EU summit.
Mødet, som var åbent for samtlige medlemmer, fokuserede på energipolitik, økonomisk genopretning og EU´s rolle i forhold til udviklingen i Egypten.
Attention focused on EU efforts in the areas of energy and innovation, the economic outlook and the situation in Egypt.
Herman Van Rompuy opfordrede i sin tale de egyptiske myndigheder til at opfylde befolkningens forventninger om demokratiske reformer.
The President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy said on Egypt that "we call on the Egyptian authorities to meet the aspirations of the Egyptian people with reform, not with repression.
"Vi er fast besluttet på at give EU's fulde støtte til en demokratisk overgang.
We are determined to give the Union's full support to a democratic transition.
Medlemsstaternes budskab blev konsolideret i en erklæring vedtaget den 4. februar".
The final message of member states was consolidated in a declaration adopted on 4 February."
Van Rompuy beklagede, at EU sakker bagud inden for energieffektivitet og grøn teknologi.
Turing to energy he said "we are lagging behind as far as energy efficiency is concerned compared to our target of 20% for 2020.
Han advarede om, at både USA og Kina snart vil overgå Europa, når det kommer til grønne investeringer.
The same is true as far as R&D is concerned, compared to US and soon even to China".
Angående den økonomiske situation var rådsformanden optimistisk: "Udsigterne for europæisk økonomi er blevet væsentligt bedre.
On the economy he said "the outlook of the European economy has substantially improved.
Business-indikatorerne viser tillid og optimisme...
Business indicators show confidence and optimism.
Vi vil tage ved lære af denne krise".
We must pull in the same direction."
Han var desuden tilfreds med Det Europæiske Råds beslutning om at optrappe den energi- og klimapolitiske indsats og glædede sig over medlemsstaternes beslutning om åbent at udveksle oplysninger om individuelle energiaftaler med tredjelande.
On energy he welcomed the European Council's decision to step up in gear in order to reach the energy and climate policy objectives.
Joseph Daul (EPP, Frankrig) opfordrede til større energisolidaritet blandt de 27 medlemsstater: "Løsningen er ikke mindre, men derimod mere Europa".
Joseph Daul of the EPP Group said that on energy none of the EU 27 should see its energy security threatened by the lack of connections. "
"Vi har en højtstående repræsentant [for udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik], men medlemsstaterne fortsætter med at kommunikere forskellige budskaber.
We have a High Representative but it is the member states who continue to communicate with different messages.
Igen er løsningen ikke mindre, men derimod mere Europa".
Again, the solution is not less but more Europe.
Socialdemokraten Martin Schulz (Tyskland) kritiserede også de mange EU-lande, der havde været ude med solomeldinger i forhold til Egypten.
For the Socialists Martin Schulz (S&D) said that on Egypt he was dissatisfied with the member states tendency to comment individually on the events instead of following a common European approach under the framework of the EEAS.
Han mente, at tiden var inde til at følge en fælles europæisk linje inden for rammerne af EU´s fælles udenrigspolitik.
"Egypt is a neighbouring state to the European Union, not to the USA.
"Egypten er en nabostat til EU, ikke til USA... jeg havde også forventet, at Ashton ville være der og tale med de lokale spillere".
I had expected Catherine Ashton to be there and actually talk the players locally".
Schultz så den fransk-tyske pagt om konkurrenceevne som et forsøg på at eksportere den tyske budgetnedskærende model til resten af Europa, hvilket han mente, ville forværre eftervirkningerne af krisen for flere medlemsstater.
On the economy he saw the Franco-German "competitiveness pact" approved by the Council as an attempt to export the German budget cutting approach to the rest of Europe, which according to Schultz, would mean further crisis for many States.
Guy Verhofstadt (ALDE, Belgien) udtrykte også bekymring over den måde, hvorpå Frankrig og Tyskland med kort varsel havde præsenteret deres pagt om konkurrenceevne og kritiserede den mellemstatslige tilgang.
Leader of the Liberals Guy Verhofstadt (ALDE) spoke about the economy and expressed his concerns about the way the French and German governments proposed the Competiveness Pact and criticised the intergovernmental approach as not working for the EU.
Han advarede mod, at Det Europæiske Råd udvikler EU til en international sammenslutning af europæiske nationalstater.
He said he was concerned that the European Council is making the EU into an international organisation of European nation states.
"Det er ikke min Union, mit [europæiske] fællesskab er et ægte fællesskab, der arbejder i fællesskabets interesse".
"That is not my Union, my Union is a real community working for the community matters."
Rebecca Harms (Tyskland) fra Parlamentets grønne gruppe var utilfreds med Det Europæiske Råds tendens til at sælge alle EU-topmøder som succeser, uanset resultatet.
Rebecca Harms (Greens) said that a fter every summit - irrespective of the result - we have feedback, which gives the impression that everything went "swimmingly good" and that everything was achieved.
"I fremtiden mener jeg, at vi har behov for mere ærlige rapporter fra Det Europæiske Råd".
"In the future I think we should get more honest reports from the European Council", she said.
Hun betegnede EU´s politik over for Egypten som en "skændsel" og kritiserede EU for ikke at have været mere synlig og forenet i forhold til udviklingen i det nordafrikanske land.
She called the EU's policy towards Egypt a "disgrace" and criticized the fact that the EU hadn't been more active and more united in its response to events.
Timothy Kirkhope (ECR, UK) roste erklæringen, som Det Europæiske Råd havde vedtaget og fremhævede nødvendigheden af en "langsom og forsigtig" fremgangsmåde i forhold til Egypten.
British MEP Timothy Kirkhope (ECR) speaking on Egypt he said the ECR group supported the declaration adopted by European Council which highlighted the necessity for slow and careful steps.
"Forsigtige fremskridt er vores håb for befolkningerne i Egypten og resten af Mellemøsten", sagde han.
"Careful progress is our hope for people of Egypt, Middle East and beyond" he opined.
Han støttede desuden tanken om at opbygge et effektivt indre marked for energi og innovation men advarede mod indførslen af for mange bureaukratiske regler.
On the economy he welcomed the idea of expanding the creation of single market in the area of innovation and research as well as energy but warned not to intervene on the markets and impose regulations.
Marisa Matias (GUE/NGL, Portugal) var skuffet over, at rådsmødet var blevet brugt til at diskutere udenrigspolitik i stedet for energi- og innovationspolitik.
Portuguese MEP Marisa Matias (GUE/NGL) said she was disappointed that the European Council was used as pretext to discuss security not energy.
Hun afviste pagten om konkurrenceevne, som hun betegnede som urimelig: "Vi kan ikke basere vores arbejde på forslag fra Tyskland, der vil straffe dem, der har uforholdsmæssigt store budgetunderskud og gæld".
Instead of "lofty statements" to promote sustainable growth and job creation "you can not reduce debt if you don't create economic growth".
Nigel Farage (EFD, UK) mente, at oprettelsen af en permanent stabiliseringsmekanisme var en lappeløsning, der blot forsinkede "euroens uundgåelige sammenbrud".
British MEP Nigel Farage (EFD) thinks that establishing a permanent stability mechanism is "reinforcing failure and delaying the inevitable break up of the euro."

Lívia Járóka om en europæisk strategi for romaer
Proud to be Roma: Roma MEP Lívia Járóka on the need for a European strategy
En europæisk romastrategi er blandt det ungarske formandskabs prioriteter dette forår.
Due to the fact that as many as 12 million European Roma continue to face segregation and intergenerational poverty throughout the EU, the Union is searching for European-wide solutions.
Vi talte med den 36-årige MEP Lívia Járóka (EPP), der selv er roma.
With a European Roma Strategy being a priority for the Hungarian EU Presidency, we talked to Lívia Járóka (EPP), the only Roma member of European Parliament.
Du arbejder i øjeblikket på en betænkning om den europæiske romastrategi.
The 36-year old Hungarian MEP has prepared a report on the strategy that would allow Europe to use the untapped potential of the Roma people.
Vi har europæiske love om bekæmpelse af forskelsbehandling, men de implementeres ikke i medlemsstaterne.
We have European laws to fight discrimination, but they are not implemented in all European countries.
Men etnisk diskrimination er kun én faktor.
However, ethnic discrimination is only one of the factors.
Vi har også den usynlige fattigdom i Europa.
We have invisible poverty in Europe, which is not seen by European funding.
Halvdelen af romastrategiens succes afhænger af romaerne selv.
LJ: In this Roma strategy, half of the success will depend on the Roma community itself and on good leaders.
Der er behov for en ny og stærk ledelse af uddannede romaer, som er i stand til at repræsentere samfundene.
So there is a need for a new and strong leadership of educated Roma, coming from communities and representing them.
Romaerne har som europæiske borgere ret til at bevæge sig frit, men 95 % af de europæiske romaer bor et fast sted.
LJ: Roma have the right of free movement as European citizens but the question is at what extent they want to move: today 95% of European Roma are sedentary.
De 5 %, som flytter rundt, gør det af kulturelle eller håndværksmæssige årsager.
Those 5% who are moving are doing it for cultural reasons or for crafts.
I de sidste par år har vi oplevet en økonomisk motiveret immigration.
LJ: In the last few years we have seen a clear economic migration.
De nye medlemsstater står over for nogle nye økonomiske realiteter efter den kommunistiske æra.
European countries coming out of the Communist era faced new economic realities that left the poorest without jobs.
Romaerne var de første til at blive ekskluderet, ikke fordi de udgjorde en etnisk gruppe, men fordi de var ufaglærte.
Roma were the first to be expelled not because their ethnic group, but because they were unskilled.
Romaerne ønsker ikke et nomadeliv.
LJ: Nomadic life is not what Roma want.
De vil have arbejde, værdighed og mad på bordet.
They want work, dignity and food for tomorrow.
Den næste generation risikerer at ende i fattigdom, ikke fordi de er romaer, men på grund af arbejdsløse forældre.
The next generation of people run the risk of poverty not for being a Roma but due to having unemployed parents.
Hvad kan der gøres for at forbedre romakvindernes situation?
What are keys to empowering Roma women?
I dårligt stillede områder vokser generationer af romaer op sammen uden at se deres forældre gå på arbejde.
LJ: In disadvantaged areas two generations of Roma are growing up without seeing their parents going to work.
Det betyder, at det er kvinderne, der fysisk og mentalt holder håbet oppe.
This also means that women are the ones that physically and mentally keep up the hope.
Jeg har som antropolog set, hvor stor en rolle kvinderne spiller: Det er dem, som sørger for, at der er mad er på bordet hver dag.
I have seen - and I am an anthropologist - how much depends on women: they make sure that food is on the table every day and that the rights of their children are fulfilled.
Stærke romakvinder er et af de centrale elementer i vores strategi.
LJ: Empowering Roma women is one of the key elements of our strategy.
Vi skal være sikre på, at tvangsægteskaber ikke finder sted, og vi er nødt til at bekæmpe menneskehandel og narkotika.
We have to be sure that forced marriages are not happening, we have to fight against trafficking and drugs.
Du har selv bevist, at romaer ikke er ensbetydende med fattigdom og social udstødelse.
By your example you have proved that poverty and social exclusion do not have to be synonyms of Roma communities.
Hvad er dit råd til andre romaer, som ønsker at følge dit eksempel?
What would you suggest to other Roma who want to follow your example?
Mit held var, at jeg fik en uddannelse.
My luck was education.
Mine forældre flyttede for at sikre, at vi ikke blev sat i separate klasser for romabørn, og de sørgede for, at vi lærte at læste godt nok til at blive optaget på de gode skoler.
My parents moved to make sure that we were not put in segregated classrooms just for Roma children and they took care that we studied well enough to get into good schools.
Men det vigtigste aktiv var familiebåndet og vores meget stærke tradition for at acceptere hinanden.
However, the most important asset that I got was the family bond and our very strong tradition of accepting each other.
Har du oplevet diskrimination som ung?
Did you experience discrimination when you were young?
