Miljøkommissær Stavros Dimas mente ikke, at det var Kommissionens opgave at udføre en undersøgelse, men derimod en opgave for de enkelte medlemsstater.
The project is among the priority projects under the Commission's Trans-European Energy Networks (TEN-E).
Så længe EU´s lovgivning blev overholdt, så han ingen grund til indblanding fra Kommissionens side.
The intended route would run through the “exclusive economic zones” of Russia, Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Germany as well as through the territorial waters of Russia and Germany.
Han sagde endvidere, at man allerede var i gang med en større undersøgelse af projektets konsekvenser for Østersøen, og at bygningen af gasledningen slet ikke var påbegyndt endnu.
The project is comprised of Russia’s Gazprom (with 51%), German companies BASF and E.ON and Dutch Gasunie.
Udvalget for Andragender vil nu udarbejde en betænkning om den tysk-russiske gasledning.
MEPs on the Petitions Committee will now prepare a report which will be discussed by the whole Parliament in the summer.
Marcin Libicki, (UEN, Polen) er blevet udpeget til ordfører til betænkningen, der får navnet: "Nord Stream Pipeline and its impact on the Baltic Sea".
Polish UEN Member Marcin Libicki will to draft the report.

Vi fandt et brev...
You've got mail...
Da vi gennemgik vores postboks i sidste uge fandt vi et brev fra en af Parlamentets postbude, der var på vej til hans fætter, der bor fætter i Riga, og som også er postbud.
While going through our post box last weekend we came across a letter from one of the Parliament's postmen to his second cousin in Tallinn, also a postman.
Vi skulle oprindeligt have skrevet om de nye EU-regler for posttjenester, men dette brev opsumerer det hele meget godt.
We had intended to write an article about a vote by the European Parliament on new legislation that will affect Europe's postal services.
Jeg beklager, at jeg ikke har skrevet før nu - tror sidste gang var i forbindelse med onkel Georges bryllup for to år siden.
Sorry I haven't written for so long, I think the last time we saw each other was at Uncle Fred's wedding two years ago...the last I heard was that Fred is on wedding No2...
Ok, men jeg skriver bare for at fortælle, hvad der skete i Parlamentet sidste torsdag den 31. januar.
Anyway, I am just writing to let you know about events here at the European Parliament in Brussels last Thursday 31 January.
Som du måske ved, har Parlamentet stemt for at liberalisere posttjenester for breve under 50 g fra den 1. januar 2011.
As you may have heard, MEPs have voted to open up Europe's postal systems to competition.
Nogle af MEP´erne var bekymrede, for hvad det ville betyde for de 5,2 millioner mennesker, der er ansat indenfor postvæsenet rundt omkring i Europa.
Some Members of Parliament were worried about what this would mean for the 5.2 million people - yes 5.2 million people! - employed in the postal business.
Vil lønningerne falde, eller vil vi miste vores jobs?
What is for sure is that there will be a lot of interest in the business - they say that across the European Union it is worth €88 billion.
Europæiske postbude bringer 135 milliarder breve ud om året - ingen tvivl om, at vi arbejder hårdt for vores løn!
Europe's postmen deliver 135 billion letters a year - we postmen work for our crust, that's for sure!
Du er måske bekymret for, om vores fætter på Shetlandsøerne så vil modtage vores breve, eller vi skal betale mere for at sende dem.
You are probably worried that our distant cousin in the Shetland Islands will get fewer deliveries or will have to pay more as they are so far away?
Manden der skrev betænkningen (han hedder Markus Ferber og kommer fra Det Europæiske Folkeparti) sagde i december, at under de nye regler vil posten altid komme frem, uanset hvor man bor.
I heard the man who actually wrote Parliament's report on this new law, Markus Ferber of the European People's Party and European Democrats, and he put my mind at rest last December.
Endelig, og det vil sikkert vække din interesse endnu mere: MEP´erne ønsker at beskytte de ansattes arbejdsforhold i postsektoren.
Finally, and this will interest you for sure, Members want the working conditions of those employed in the postal industry to be protected.
Hvad er der ellers at sige om det...
A Green MEP, Eva Lichtenberger from Austria, was worried about what would happen to those who lived in the country, in the mountains or on the borders of Europe.
Nå ja, hvornår træder det hele i kraft?
What else can I tell you - oh yes, when is this all going to take place?
Endelig vil jeg gerne sige tusinde tak for den store julegave, du sendte (store julegaver er altid velkomne!).
And finally, just to let you know that the big Christmas presents you sent arrived safely, thank you very much (big Christmas presents are always nice!).
Den er kommet sikkert og uskadt frem.
The parcel arrived with the company "Break-pack" as big items can already be sent via private companies.
Jeg håber, at du snart vil modtage mit brev.
I hope this reaches you soon.
Vejret er fint hernede, selvom foråret lader vente på sig.
The weather here is not too bad although there is no sign of spring yet!
Mange hilnser
Yours sincerely,

Pöttering besøger Japan
EP President Pöttering in Japan calls for partnership on climate change
Hans-Gert Pöttering hilser på nogle japanske studerende
West meets East: President Pöttering meets students
Hovedformålet med parlamentsformandens besøg var at diskutere klimaændringer med den japanske premierminister.
Mr Pöttering said he had chosen Japan for his first visit to Asia as President because of "shared values" of democracy and constitutionalism.
Japan kan udgøre en bro mellem EU og USA
He also held talks with Emperor Akihito.
Pöttering opfordrede til et "stærkt strategisk partnerskab" mellem EU og Japan i arbejdet med at nå frem til en ny klimaaftale efter Kyoto-protokollens udløb i 2012.
In the land where the Kyoto protocol on climate change was signed the importance of finding an agreement beyond Kyoto is of considerable importance.
Under en tale til japanske studerende på Keio Universitet sagde Pöttering, at Japan kan udgøre en bro mellem Den Europæiske Union og USA, der er verdens to største forurenere.
In public comments President Pöttering praised the Prime Minister's speech on climate change at the World Economic Forum a few days ago, in which he stressed the importance of a fair and effective post Kyoto agreement.
Han roste Japan for dets støtte til "den globale fond for nye teknologier".
Mr Pöttering also praised Japan's founding of a "global fund for new technologies" to help developing countries access environmentally-friendly technology.
Fonden har til hensigt at hjælpe udviklingslandene med at få adgang til miljøvenlig teknologi.
Climate change was the focus again when Mr Pöttering spoke to students at Keio University on 6 February he said Japan "can be the bridge between the main emitters of the industrial countries, the United States and the European Union".
Mellem venner bør der ikke være tabuer
He went on to say that there should be "no taboos" in the relationship.
Under besøget understregede Pöttering også vigtigheden af det værdimæssige fællesskab mellem EU og Japan.
His speech also touched upon cultural exchange in this, the year of intercultural dialogue.
Han fremhævede deres fælles respekt for demokrati og retsstatsprincippet.
He told the students that "our long term aim should be to build a bridge across the Mediterranean and the Middle East".
I en tale til det japanske parlament fremhævede han vigtigheden af "den vidtrækkende politiske dialog, som siden 1991 har fundet sted mellem EU og Japan".
In a speech at an official dinner with the Speaker of the House of Representatives the President recalled the "far-reaching political dialogue between the EU and Japan since 1991".
Kort om Japan
Japan facts
Landet er højt industrialiseret og har en stor udenrigshandel, der i høj grad er baseret på højteknologiske produkter.
Japan has the 2nd biggest GDP in the world and is a leader in high-tech.
De væsentligste miljøproblemer er luftforureningen - især i de største byer, Tokyo, Osaka og Yokohama.
"I come from Europe" is "私はヨーロッパから来る" in Japanese.

Syria's Grand Mufti on civilisation and morality
Interview med stormuftien af Syrien
Ahmad Badr al-din Hassoun with Bishop Antoine Odo "All cultures flow into one recipient that forms human civilisation."
Det er derfor at vi i dag - hvor verden er blevet til en lille landsby - har muligheden for at drage fordel af alle kulturer og samle dem i én fælles civilisation.
A call to safeguard and protect culture In a world which has become a small village we may benefit from all cultures and gather them together in one civilisation for the good of all.
Hvad lærte Aleppo dig, og hvad kan det lære os?
I think perhaps Alfred Nobel tried to redeem some of the evil caused by his invention of dynamite by creating the Nobel Prize.
Da jeg blev udpeget til stormufti for Den Syriske Arabiske Republik, troede mange, at jeg kun var mufti for muslimerne.
Tell us about your role in encouraging the peaceful coexistence of religious communities When I was appointed the Grand Mufti of Syria, people thought I was only Mufti of the Muslims.
Du kan du sammensætte din filmkalender for de næste 4 uger.
Film season at the EP
14 forskellige film fra 14 forskellige EU-lande vil fra den 13. februar og frem blive vist i Europa-Parlamentet.
Wednesday sees the start of a series of films being screened at the European Parliament that aim to explore cultural differences across Europe.
Hovedtemaet for filmfestivalen er interkulturel dialog.
The films will form part of the European Year of intercultural dialogue and feature productions from 14 countries.
Initiativtageren bag arrangementet er organisationen EUNIC, der er et netværk af nationale kulturinstitutter.
The European Union National Institutes for Culture (EUNIC) championed the idea of such a film festival.
Arrangementet er åbent for gæster fra de nationale kulturinstitutter, ambassader samt alle der har et adgangskort til Parlamentet.
The Institutes has members from 22 countries.
Filmene bliver vist to til tre gange om måneden resten af året i Yehudi Menuhin- hallen i Parlamentets PHS- bygning.
Speaking ahead of the first film EP President Hans-Gert Pöttering said the Parliament had decided to back the initiative to "support projects undertaken by civil society which contribute to the dialogue of cultures".
Europa-Parlamentet valgte sidste år at indstifte en ny filmpris, LUX.
The first film to be filmed is "Express, Express" by Slovenian director Igor Stek.
Den blev uddelt for første gang sidste år, hvor formanden for Europa-Parlamentet, Hans-Gert Pöttering, kunne overrække prisen til den tyske skuespillerinde Hanna Schygulla for den tyske film "Auf der anderen Seite."
The film follows a character, who, mourning the loss of his father, takes endless train rides in search of himself and with no clear direction.
I forbindelse med filmfestivalen vil filminstruktører og skuespillere blive inviteret til at deltage i en debat med tilskuerne.
The film recounts his emotional journey and the people he meets.
Både Igor Stek, der har instrueret filmen, og Parlamentets formand Hans-Gert Pöttering vil være tilstede under visningen.
People who are guests of the cultural institutes from around Europe and all of those who have access to the Parliament can watch the films.
Filmen følger en mand, der efter sin fars død begiver sig ud på en endeløs togrejse med det formål at finde sig selv.
The Parliament inaugurated its own "Prix Lux" film prize in 2007 aimed at showcasing the European film industry.

Vaya con Dios spiller for romaernes rettigheder
Vaya con Dios - singing to defend the Roma
Den 7. april lagde bandet vejen forbi Europa-Parlamentet i anledning af den internationale romadag.
On 7 April they came to the European Parliament to raise the plight of the Roma in Europe on International Roma day.
Vi fik en snak med forsangeren Dani Klein.
We caught up with Dani Klein just after her rehearsal.
Hvordan blev du bekendt med romanernes situation?
How did you become aware of the situation of the Roma?
Mit band har spillet flere koncerter i Østeuropa, hvor der bor mange romaer.
My group gives concerts in Eastern countries where there are a lot of Roma.
Når jeg synger "Djelem djelem" - Romahymen - er folk altid meget entusiastiske og identificerer sig med sangen.
When I sing "Djelem djelem" - the Roma hymn - people are very enthusiastic and identify with the song.
Imidlertid har de samme mennesker ofte en diskriminerende holdning til romaerne.
But they often adopt a rather discriminatory personal attitude to the Roma...I find that a bit repellent, on the one hand we appropriate Roma culture and take the best parts of it, and on the other hand we discriminate against it.
Det synes jeg er lidt af et paradoks… Jeg har ikke noget politisk budskab, udover at vi bør respektere hinanden.
I don't have a political message, just that we must respect each other.
Du lægger vægt på en mere positiv tilgang til romaerne og understreger deres bidrag til den europæiske kultur… Ja, eftersom sigøjnermusikken generelt har bidraget til kunstgenren.
You defend a more positive approach to the Roma, by underlining in particular their contribution to European culture?
Jeg er ikke specialist i klassisk musik, men Brahms havde ikke været Brahms uden sigøjnermusikken.
Yes, because gypsy music has contributed to art in general.
Det samme er tilfældet for flere andre klassiske komponister.
I am not a classical music specialist, but Brahms would not be Brahms had not gypsy music existed, and that is the case with many traditional types of music.
Deres musik, deres sprog og deres traditioner bidrager til den europæiske rigdom.
Their music, their language, their traditions contribute to the wealth of European culture.
Jeg beundrer dem, fordi de modsætter sig forsøgene på at ændre dem.
I admire them, because they resist the efforts to change them.
Man ser mange romaer i Bruxelles, særligt omkring trafiklysene.
At present, many Roma in Brussels are seen, in particular at red traffic lights.
Mange har sagt til mig: "det må være let at leve på den måde".
Many people say to me, "I do not give, it's easy to live like that".
Jeg mener, at det må være meget hårdt at leve på den måde!
I think that it's very difficult to live like that!
Tror du, at der er nogen, der frivilligt vælger at indånde karbondioksid dagen lang under alle vejrforhold for at få femten eller tyve cent ekstra og et nedværdigende blik?
Is there anyone who would choose to breathe in carbon dioxide all day for 15 or 20 cents and a scornful glance?
Jeg mener, at dette er en forkert tilgang.
This is not a good approach.
Vi er nødt til at se på det positive.
We must look at the positive.
Kan Europa bidrage til at ændre denne holdning?
Can Europe contribute anything to changing this approach?
Men hvis det er muligt, så ja.
But if it has means, yes.
Den oprindelige idé med EU var at sikre, at der ikke opstod en ny krig mellem Frankrig og Tyskland.
The initial aim of the EU was that France and Germany would no longer fight.
Så hvis målsætningen med Europa er at skabe fred, vil det give god mening at se romaerne som en del af det europæiske folk, men med deres egne særegenheder.
If Europe's ambition is peace, that should certainly help in making the Roma accepted as part of Europe, but with their special characteristics.
Hvad får en kunstner som dig til at engagere dig i romaernes rettigheder?
As an artist, when do you decide to get involved with causes like the Roma?
Jeg engagerer mig, når der er grund til det.
I engage when I find the causes are just - to support the values of liberty and respect for others.
Jeg støtter frihed og respekt for andre mennesker.
Among musicians, racism is less palpable than in other milieus.
Racisme er ikke så udbredt blandt musikere.
To be an artist, is to be marginal.
Som kunster tilhører man selv en marginaliseret gruppe - man er ikke en del af hovedstrømmen.
Artists are also disliked to a certain extent in society and fight to find ways to express themselves.
Vi er også nødt til at kæmpe og finde måder at udtrykke os selv på.
Artists are sustained by all the influences that touch them - our music is fed by different music.
Det at vi selv tilhører en marginaliseret gruppe, giver os større forståelse for andre marginaliserede grupper i samfundet.
The fact that we are marginalised brings us close to other communities on the margin of society.
Kunstens opgave har altid været at bryde tabuer og åbne sind.
Art has always broken taboos and opened minds and spirits.
Vaya con Dios´ hjemmeside En europæisk strategi for romaer Den Internationale Roma-dag (på engelsk)
It was in this context that EP President Hans-Gert Pöttering made his first visit to a Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) this weekend.
Hauwa Ibrahim Den 12. juni 2008 arrangerede Europa-Parlamentet et seminar i anledning af Den Internationale Dag for Afrikansk Ungdom.
Hauwa Ibrahim at the European Parliament in Brussels, 12 June The aspirations of young people in Africa were discussed on 12 June when the EP hosted a seminar on International Day of African Youth.
Arrangementet indgik som led i det europæiske år for interkulturel dialog.
It drew together speakers who addressed the problems that young people face.
Der var stor enighed om, at unges adgang til uddannelse er vitalt for videreudviklingen af det afrikanske kontinent.
Chaired by Italian Parliament vice-president Luisa Morgantini (GUE/NGL), the event was held under the patronage of EP President Pöttering.
En af gæstetalerne var vinderen af Sakharov-prisen 2005, Hauwa Ibrahim.
Nigerian lawyer Hauwa Ibrahim, winner of Parliament's 2005 Sakharov prize was one of the speakers.
Vi fik mulighed for at stille hende et par spørgsmål efter seminaret.
We later put a few questions to her.
Hvad er unge afrikaneres største ønske?
What do young Africans really want?
Unge afrikanere ønsker at bidrage til fred, frihed og menneskelig værdighed.
Young Africans want to contribute to peace, freedom and human dignity.
De vil have mulighed for at være kreative.
They want the opportunity to be and to use their minds creatively.
De ønsker, at de ikke længere behøver at bekymre sig om, hvordan de får noget at spise i morgen.
They want the opportunity not to think about what they are eating tomorrow, to be free of things that slow them down - like poverty.
De ønsker muligheden for at kunne bidrage til positiv forandring for deres samfund, for deres lande og for verden som helhed.
They want the opportunity to make a positive change for their society, for their countries and for the world.
Hvad kan EU og Europa-Parlamentet gøre for at hjælpe unge afrikanere?
What can the EU and the EP do to help young Africans?
Det er sådan en ære, at Europa-Parlamentet arrangerer en international dag for Afrikas ungdom!
It's such an honour that the EP organises a day such as an International Day for African youth!
Der er en enorm symbolværdi i erklæringen: "Vi kan give dig en stemme, vi kan give dig en mulighed".
A huge statement has been made: "We can give you a voice, we can give you opportunity.
Vi håber, at EU og Europa-Parlamentet ikke vil se Afrika som en enhed, men derimod som et meget stort kontinent.
We hope that the EU and the EP especially will not look at Africa as a unit, but as a huge continent.
Når du ser et enormt problem, bør du tage det efter salamimetoden: Løse problemerne et efter et.
When you see an entity with a huge problem, you should take it piece by piece; solve one problem after the other.
Et af de problemer, som vi står overfor i mit land (Nigeria) er, at regeringens politikker ikke har været konsekvente nok.
One of the issues that we are facing in my country (Nigeria) is that government policies have not been consistent.
EU og Europa-Parlamentet kan hjælpe, da begge er politiske institutioner.
The EU and the EP can help, since they are institutions that make policies.
Jeg foreslår, at EU tager sig tid til at besøge kontinentet én gang per kvartal - det vil kunne give følelsen af virkelighed.
I suggest that the EU takes the time to visit the continent once in a quarter to have the sense of what is reality.
Vores infrastruktur er fuldkommen utilstrækkelig.
We have infrastructures that are absolutely inadequate.
For eksempel har du en skole, der plejede at have 500 eller 600 elever - i dag er der flere end 1000, men faciliteterne er stadig de samme som før.
For example, you have a school that used to have 500 or 600 students, and they now have more than 1000 in less than 10 years, while facilities have not been expanded.
Dette påvirker både lærernes og de studerendes moral.
This affects the morale of the teachers and of the students.
