Studerende forældre Marie Panayotopoulos-Cassiotou (Gruppen for Det Europæiske Folkeparti (Kristelige Demokrater) og De Europæiske Demokrater, Grækenland) sætter i en betænkning fokus på unge mødres og fædres mulighed for at studere.
A report by Greek MEP Marie Panayotopoulos-Cassiotou (EPP-ED) adopted in June Plenary aims to redress the situation and help young women to benefit from high quality employment opportunities.
Adgang til simple lån for unge forældre, der kombinerer familielivet med uddannelse og kurser
simple and easy loans on beneficial terms to young men and women who are combining family responsibilities with a period of study or training
Boligsikring til studerende med børn
housing that is suited to the needs of students who are also parents
Samme adgang for studerende forældre som for arbejdende forældre til børnepasning Andelen af studerende forældre er dog forsat relativ lav i EU (Irland 11, 3 %, Østrig 10,8 og Letland 10,7 %) I øjeblikket arbejder Parlamentets Udvalg for Beskæftigelse og Sociale Anliggender på en betænkning om emnet.
access to childcare under the same criteria as working parents.
I september vedtog Udvalget om Borgernes Rettigheder og Retlige og Indre Anliggender en betænkning om en ny strategi for lovlig immigration, og sidste år bakkede Parlamentet op om et udspil om solidaritet mellem generationerne i Europa.
European Parliament resolution on reconciling professional, family and private lives Report on regulatory framework Report on the demographic future of Europe
Vi bliver ældre og ældre, og antallet af personer i den arbejdsdygtige alder falder år for år.
The demographic make-up of Europe is changing.
Ifølge en ny undersøgelse vil immigrationen kunne kompensere for de negative virkninger af den lave fertilitet og den længere forventede levetid.
We are getting older and the number of people of working age is decreasing.
En betænkning om emnet af den franske MEP Françoise Castex vil blive debatteret under Europa-Parlamentets samling til februar.
A study commissioned in 2007 on "Europe's Demographic Future" found that around 56 million immigrant workers could be needed by 2050 to compensate for this decline.
Det er en kendsgerning, at andelen af ældre og pensionister i EU vil stige kraftigt over de næste årtier.
The high point of immigration into the European Union was in 2004 and 2005 with 2 million people entering the EU each year.
Det betyder, at der vil blive færre i den arbejdsdygtige alder til at forsørge pensionisterne.
They form part of the 3.7% of the total EU population who are from outside the borders of the 27 states.
Ifølge en betænkning, udarbejdet af Françoise Castex (De Europæiske Socialdemokraters Gruppe, Frankrig), er immigration en positiv ting for det skrantende europæiske arbejdsmarked.
Eurostat - the EU's statistical collection agency - has found tha thet decline in the working population could begin by the end of this decade - in just two years time.
Omkring 56 millioner arbejdende indvandrere er påkrævet frem til 2050, for at kompensere for den faldende europæiske arbejdsstyrke.
On the other hand, if 2005 levels of immigration are maintained, the population will continue to grow until around 2030.
Problemet er imidlertid, at mange europæere føler sig utrygge ved den stigende immigration.
A Eurobarometer survey found that the insufficient integration of immigrants causes a negative perception of migration.
Françoise Castex (De Europæiske Socialdemokraters Gruppe, Frankrig) understreger i sin betænkning, at immigration i stigende grad vil være en løsning for det skrantende europæiske arbejdsmarked.
The report by Ms Castex emphasises that the EU needs a clear and reasoned approach to immigration to counter xenophobic opinions and attitudes.
Betænkningen opfordrer til, at man fra politisk hold sikrer indvandrernes sociale og juridiske rettigheder og beskytter dem mod menneskehandel og underbetalt illegalt arbejde.
It calls for immigrants to be given legal and social security and for human traffickers and employers who use illegal labour to be the target of legal and criminal measures.
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog i september en betænkning af Lilli Gruber (PES, Italien), der støtter en sådan ordning for udstedelse af opholdstilladelser.
In September last year they backed a report by Italian Socialist Lilli Gruber which called for managed legal migration.
Gruber betænkning Sanchez betænkning: Kampen mod illegal immigration Demografisk underskud: Hvem er bange for børn?
Gruber report on the Policy Plan on Legal Migration Sanchez report on policy priorities in the fight against illegal immigration of third-country nationals
Europas demografiske fremtidsudsigter er alarmerende.
In an interview, Ms Castex paints a picture of a Europe struggling with its own demography.
Er det for sent at gøre noget? - Det er stadig blot prognoser.
Population projections are alarming for Europe: Is it too late?
Vil det hjælpe at hæve pensionsalderen eller ændre på folkepensionen? - Den dominerende idé er at forlænge arbejdslivet.
So there are progressions margins, as long as we take adequate measures to promote the birth rate.
Vi må sikre, at alle er aktive i 40 år.
I say: start with where we see margins for an increase in the labour force and make sure that everyone has 40 years of active life!
Fra 2010 vil målet om fuld beskæftigelse blive både opnåeligt og nødvendigt. - I betænkningen anbefaler jeg en livscyklus.
I think that as early as 2010, the goal of full employment will become increasingly necessary and achievable.
Virksomheder vil snart indse, at der vil blive behov for ekstra arbejdskraft, der ikke alene kan hentes via øget indvandring.
They will soon realize that there is a shortage of labour, which cannot be resolved solely through immigration.
At indse: Ja, vi har brug for indvandring - ikke kun i den nærmeste fremtid, men også fordi det er en del af vores historie.
To say 'yes', we need immigration, not only for the future but because it is also part of our history.
Indvandringen til EU er ikke noget nyt, den må accepteres.
Immigration into the EU is not a new development, we must accept it.

Europas demografiske underskud var til diskussion under en høring, der fandt sted torsdag den 28. maj.
Above average: 1.5 children per couple is the European norm The state of Europe's population was at issue again on Wednesday 28 May when MEPs from the Employment Committee met with experts to discuss the situation.
Indvandring som et middel til at afbalancere befolkningssammensætningen og skabe større solidaritet mellem generationerne var et af de varmeste emner under debatten.
The role of immigration, the need for generations to work together and health issues were among the topics discussed.
Tyrkiets mulige optagelse i EU var et andet emne, der tiltrak sig stor opmærksomhed.
The possible impact of Turkey's future membership of the EU - with its large and growing population - was also debated.
Landets store befolkningstal vil dramatisk kunne ændre Europas demografiske sammensætning.
MEPs heard from leading demographic expert François Héran who presented a study from the Paris based "Institut national d'études démographiques".
Undersøgelsen påviser, at de medlemsstater der i øjeblikket har de højeste fødselstal, er dem, der har været bedst i stand til at udvikle politikker til fordel for børnefamilier.
On the role of immigration, Mr Héran said that "Immigration provides a significant contribution to the renewal and strengthening of the active-age population - at varied levels of qualification."
Rapporten konkluderer også, at "indvandring yder et væsentligt bidrag til fornyelse og styrkelse af den aktive del af befolkningen" og at "indvandring allerede spiller en vigtig rolle i stabiliseringen af befolkningssammensætningen.
He added, "immigration already plays a major role in stabilising the natural surplus of European countries".
Uden indvandring ville flere lande opleve en reducering af befolkningsmassen, da de har flere dødsfald end fødsler".
He also noted that without immigration many countries would see their populations fall as there are more deaths than births.
Tyrkisk medlemskab en mulig løsning?
Effect of Turkey's EU membership discussed
Formand for Udvalget om Beskæftigelse og Sociale Anliggender, Jan Andersson (PSE, Sverige) påpegede, at det grundlæggende problem på det europæiske arbejdsmarked er, at vi i disse år "begynder at arbejde senere og går på pension tidligere".
The head of the Employment Committee, Swedish Socialist Jan Andersson noted that today's trend in the labour market is that "we start working later and retire earlier".
Spørgsmålet om den demografiske effekt af tyrkisk EU-medlemskab kom også op under debatten.
He wondered how a hypothetical enlargement of the EU to include Turkey could affect the demographic picture in the EU.
François Héran var dog skeptisk i forhold til om udviklingen i Tyrkiet ville fortsætte i fremtiden: "Tyrkiet har et naturligt befolkningsoverskud - med flere fødsler end dødsfald - men forholdet er faldende... sandheden er, at situationen er meget lig den, der fandt sted i lande som Italien eller Spanien, da de tiltrådte".
On this point Mr Héran noted that "Turkey has a natural population surplus, with more births than deaths, but the ratio is decreasing from one year to the other It could change the demographic landscape of Europe, but the truth is that its situation is very similar to what was happening in countries like Italy or Spain when they joined".
Ældre og sundere?
A greyer Europe - but a healthier one?
Sundhedsrelaterede emner indtog også en central plads under debatten.
Health related issues were one of the main concerns raised by the speakers.
Jan-Tadeusz Masiel (UEN, Polen) ønskede at vide, hvad der kan gøres for at tilskynde unge europæiske par til at få flere børn.
Need to encourage people to have more children
Efter hans opfattelse var indvandring ikke en plausibel løsning, da "indvandrerne fortrækker at bibeholde deres identitet i stedet for at integrere sig i en ny kultur".
Polish UEN member Jan-Tadeusz Masiel wanted to know what could be done to encourage couples to have more children, as in his opinion, "immigration is not the solution, as immigrants prefer to keep their identity rather than integrate in a different culture".
"Selv om problemet er demografisk, er løsningen det ikke", sagde Héran og påpegede, at udfordringen først og fremmest består i at få implementeret en holdbar beskæftigelses- og familiepolitik: "I de sydlige lande, er det meget vanskeligt for unge at blive selvstændige.
Mr Héran replied that "even if the problem is demographic, the solution is not: it will include economic, employment and family policies".

This is usually the opening step in changing European law.
Forskellen er, at hvidbøger typisk omhandler de politikområder, som har topprioritet mens grønbøger omhandler emner der vægter mindre.

Parlamentsdelegation ser nærmere på det danske asylsystem
MEPs satisfied with conditions in Danish detention centres
Delegationsformand, Pannayiotis Demetriou og ordfører, Martine Roure
MEPs explain their reactions to the press after visiting asylum centres
En parlamentsdelegation fra Borgerrettighedsudvalget besøgte i sidste uge Danmark for at se nærmere på forholdene i tre danske asylcentre.
Living conditions and access to medical facilities in Danish asylum centres are very good, although there are concerns about how long people remain there.
Besøget indgik som led i en længere besøgsrække til forskellige europæiske medlemslande.
That was the conclusion of a visit by MEPs on the Civil Liberties Committee to the asylum and detention centres near Copenhagen on 10-11 April.
Delegationen blev ledet af Panayiotis Demetriou (PPE-DE, Cypern) og Martine Roure (PSE, Frankrig).
Members thought the conditions compared favourably to those in other EU states although there was disquiet that some inmates had been there for up to eight years.
En delegation fra Parlamentets Udvalg om Borgernes Rettigheder og Retlige og Indre Anliggender besøgte i fredags Sandholmlejren, Ellebæk Centret og Center Kongelunden, der alle ligger i Københavnsområdet.
It was part of a series of fact finding missions MEPs are conducting across Europe to assess conditions in closed centres for immigrants and asylum seekers.
Efter at have besøgt Sandholm og Ellebæk var de fleste af delegationsdeltagerne enige om, at de fysiske rammer samt adgangen til lægehjælp og skolegang var enestående i forhold til hvad de ellers havde oplevet på deres tidligere besøg i andre europæiske lande: "Dansk Røde Kors udfører et forbilledligt stykke arbejde i deres bestræbelser på at gøre livsvilkårene så normale som muligt for asylansøgerne", sagde Britta Thomsen (PES, Danmark).
Following the visit, most of the delegation members agreed that the physical living conditions in the Danish centres were outstanding, comparing favourably with the situation observed in other European Union countries.
Nogle af beboerne i Sandholm havde tilbragt over otte år i lejren.
Some in centres for 8 years
Når det handler om mennesker, er vi nødt til at være mere fleksible", sagde Demetriou.
Some had stayed in the Sandholm centre for more than eight years, without being able to work or take part in life in the surrounding community.
Ordfører, Martine Roure (PES, Frankrig), vil senere udarbejde en betænkning om besøgene til de forskellige asyl- og tilbageholdelsescentrene.
Heading the delegation was Cypriot MEP Panayiotis Demetriou (EPP-ED).
Selvom begge var enige om, at Dansk Røde Kors udfører et flot stykke arbejde, var de stærkt utilfredse med den asylpolitik, som den danske regering fører: ”Folk bliver psykisk syge, fordi deres situation er uholdbar.
It also has serious consequences for the parent’s ability in bringing up their children.
Vi kan stille nogle faciliteter og rammer til rådighed, men vi kan ikke hjælpe dem med deres situation.
When we are dealing with human beings, we have to be more flexible.”
Det er lovgivningen, som den er gal med.
Fears for social prospects of children
Problemet er, at der sidder mennesker i centrene i årevis, og det bliver man skør af!", sagde Britta Thomsen.
Parliament's rapporteur on the issue is French Socialist Martine Roure.
For Søren Søndergaard er det største problem ligeledes den tid som afviste asylansøgere tilbringer i de danske centre: ”Problemet er, at vi har skabt et system, der ødelægger mennesker.
She agreed that the main problem is the length of time refused asylum seekers stay inside the centres: “We are very concerned about the people who spend years and years, without the possibility to work – It’s also a way to create socially handicapped children.”
Det ødelægger mennesker at sidde i årevis i centrene, og det er ikke normen at sidde så lang tid i andre lande".
The delegation members expressed regret that they had not been able to meet the Danish Minister for Integration, Birthe Rønn Hornbech.
Også Søren Søndergaard var skuffet over, at integrationsministeren ikke ønskede at møde delegationen: ”Jeg synes, at det er helt uforståeligt, at integrationsministeren ikke ønskede at møde os.
"We would have liked to speak to the minister about the law, which apparently causes people to spend several years in the Danish asylum centres," Mr Demetriou said.
Hensigten med delegationsbesøget var jo, at vi skulle diskutere og lære af hinanden, og den type for internationalt samarbejde burde man være åben overfor fra den danske regerings side”, sagde han.
The aim of the EP missions is to check whether Community standards are being followed in EU states.
Næste stop på turen er Cypern.
Their next destination will be Cyprus.
I morgen bringer vi et kort interview med en asylansøger, der har tilbragt de tre sidste år i Sandholmlejren.
In our next article on immigration we will take a closer look at the main problems that asylum seekers face in their daily lives.

The European Parliament's role in immigration policy is to give its opinion on the criteria necessary for individuals to be given the status of asylum seekers.

Delegationsformanden, Pannayiotis Demetriou (EPP-ED, Cypern), fortalte os, at mens andre EU-medlemslande har store problemer med at sikre ordentlige fysiske rammer for asylansøgere, er problemet i Danmark anderledes: "Det største problem for mig er den tid, som disse mennesker tilbringer i centrene.
Access to education and medical help within the centres was also highlighted: “The Red Cross is doing a terrific job in making the living conditions as normal as possible for the asylum seekers in the centres”, said Danish Socialist Britta Thomsen.
Det, at de sidder så lang tid i centrene, har stor betydning for forældrenes evne til at opdrage deres børn.
Some in centres for 8 years The main concern raised by MEPs was the length of time that refused asylum seekers (who refuse to return their country of origin), spend in the centres without any certainty about their future.
