MEP'ernes 5001 skriftlige forespørgsler
MEPs and their 5001 questions...but who has the answers?
Skriftlige forespørgsler fra Europa-Parlamentet
MEPs and their written questions
Desuden forpligter de Kommissionen og Rådet til at forklare deres handlinger offentligt.
Questions also oblige the Commission and Council to publicly explain their actions.
MEP'en Catherine Stihler spurgte for nylig, hvorvidt det er tilladt at skrive i en jobannonce, at "rygere ikke behøver at søge".
In a recent reply to a written question by Catherine Stihler MEP about a job advert which said "smokers need not apply" - the Commission replied that anti-discrimination legislation did not in fact cover tobacco users.
Hertil svarede Kommissionen, at lovgivning om ikke-forskelsbehandling ikke omfatter rygere.
Prior to the World Cup this summer MEPs used written questions to ask the Commission to investigate some aspects of the ticketing arrangements - notably the possible need for a "Mastercard" credit card or a German bank account to buy a ticket.
Forud for sommerens VM i fodbold bad MEP'er Kommissionen om at undersøge hvordan billetsalget foregik.
Under some pressure, FIFA, football's governing body, took action.
Andre eksempler omfatter støj fra fly, roaming-priser og konflikten i Mellemøsten.
Other issues raised in MEPs' questions include aircraft noise, roaming charges and the conflict in the Middle-East.
Der findes to typer skriftlige forespørgsler, henholdsvis de "prioriterede", der kræver et omgående svar, men ingen dybtgående undersøgelser, og de "ikke-prioriterede".
There are two types of written questions: "priority questions" and "non-priority questions", depending on the urgency and on the level of research involved.
Hver MEP har ret til at fremsætte én "prioriteret" skriftlig forespørgsel om måneden.
The first ones requiring a quicker answer but no detailed research.
Der er ingen begrænsninger for antallet af "ikke-prioriterede" skriftlige forespørgsler.
Each MEP can put one priority question per month, with no limit for non-priority questions.
Hvem svarer og hvor lang tid tager det?
Who answers the questions?
Hvis en skriftlig forespørgsel er rettet til Kommissionen, er det den ansvarlige kommissær, der svarer.
If a written question is addressed to the Commission, it is the Commissioner responsible who gives the answer i.e the Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson would answer questions on WTO issues.
En "prioriteret" skriftlig forespørgsel skal besvares inden tre uger, og en "ikke-prioriteret" forespørgsel skal besvares inden seks uger.
If it is a priority question, the answer must be given within three weeks and, if it is a non-priority question, it must be given within six weeks.
I senere artikler vil vi se nærmere på nogle af MEP'ernes skriftlige forespørgsler.
We will delve deeper into some of the questions raised by MEPs in future articles.

Retsopgør i overgangsperioden - sikre en mere demokratisk og retfærdig fremtid
Transitional justice - building a more just and democratic future
EU's politimission i Bosnien-Hercegovina (EUPM)
EU police training mission in Bosnia-Herzegovina (EUPM)
Samfund verden over, hvor der har været borgerkrige eller diktatur, forsøger at finde måder at håndtere menneskerettighedskrænkelser begået i fortiden.
Civil war and dictatorship can leave appalling physical and mental scars.
Årsager til krænkelserne, ofrenes skæbne, og manglende politiske vilje til at forhindre grusomheder blev debatteret under høringen.
Human rights abuses, the fate of victims and a need to prevent atrocities were discussed by MEPs and speakers.
Hvad er retsopgør i overgangsperioden?
What is Transitional Justice?
Retsopgør i overgangsperioden (såkaldt "Transitional justice") er et begreb, der omhandler hvordan samfund håndterer menneskerettighedskrænkelser begået i fortiden.
Transitional Justice focuses on how societies address the legacy of past human rights abuses, mass atrocities, or other forms of severe social trauma, including genocide or civil war in order to build a more democratic, just and peaceful future.
For eksempel via retsforfølgelse af gerningsmændene, etablering af sandhedskommissioner, forsoningsbestræbelser og udbetaling af erstatninger til de berørte.
Reforming state institutions like the police and the army - as the EU is helping the government of Bosnia-Herzegovina to do - is also vitally important.
Formålet er, at sikre en mere demokratisk, retfærdig og fredelig fremtid.
South Africa - Truth and Reconciliation in action
Han sagde blandt andet, at "der er grænser for love", og at det ikke altid er muligt at retsforfølge samtlige involverede.
He spoke of the need for a just society rather than justice in the Courts.
Han understregede herved nødvendigheden af, at skabe et retfærdigt samfund, og ikke blot fokusere på retfærdighed ved domstolene.
"There are limits to law" and realistically it is not possible to prosecute all those involved, he said, noting that political compromise was a fact of life.
Det sydafrikanske eksempel har inspireret andre lande og samfund.
The South African example has inspired other countries and societies.
På nuværende tidspunkt, er der 28 lignende kommissioner på verdensplan.
At the time of writing there are 28 such commissions worldwide.
Hvad er EU's rolle?
How can the European Union help?
Retsopgør i overgangsperioden som en del af EU's Forsvars- og Sikkerhedspolitik (FUSP) blev skitseret af Michael Mathiessen, der er talsmand for Javier Solana på menneskerettighedsområdet.
The role of transitional justice in the EU's emerging Security and Defence Policy (ESDP) was outlined by Michael Mathiessen - a human rights representative for the EU's foreign policy chief Javier Solana.
Han fortalte, at de europæiske statsledere i juni gav deres støtte til en FUSP-rapport, der for første gang nævner behovet for at tage hensyn til begrebet "retsopgør i overgangsperioden" i fremtidige konfliktforebyggende og krisestyrende EU-aktioner.
He told the hearing that in June European Heads of Government endorsed a report on ESDP, which for the first time mentioned the need for transitional justice arrangements to be taken into account during future EU conflict prevention and crisis management missions.
Michael Mathiessen sagde, at den kommende EU-styrke i Libanon og Mellemøsten vil være opmærksomme på problemstillingen.
The forthcoming EU contribution to the United Nations force in the Middle East could take this into account.
Flere MEP'er talte om de erfaringer og oplevelser, Europa har haft i post-konflikt situationer.
Several MEPs spoke of the lessons and experiences that Europe had in post-conflict situations.
Faktisk opstod selve EU-idéen ud af behovet for at undgå mere splid i Europa efter to verdenskrige.
Indeed the very idea for the EU arose from the need to heal divisions in Europe after two world wars.
I Bosnien-Hercegovina er skabelsen af en multietnisk politistyrke, og opgøret med ikke-forsoningsivrige kræfter i statsapparatet i sig selv en stor udfordring for forsoningsprocessen.
In Bosnia-Herzegovina, for example, the creation of a multi-ethnic police force and purging government ministries of those who are not open to reconciliation is a major challenge towards reconciliation.

Valg i Den Demokratiske Republik Congo: Stemmesedler afløser patroner
Democratic Republic of Congo elections: Ballots replace Bullets
Valg i DR Congo: National observatør med stemmeseddel
Big decision: A Congolese observer with a ballot paper
Den 30. juli blev de første demokratiske parlaments- og præsidentvalg i over 40 år afviklet i DR Congo - det tredjestørste land i Afrika.
The picture tells its own story.
Frie og fair valg medførte aktiv borgerdeltagelse, og valget blev en stor succes, der giver håb om en bedre fremtid.
Congo's first elections in 40 years saw 26 million registered voters face a choice between 33 Presidential and 9,600 Parliamentary candidates.
12 MEP'er deltog i den samlede EU-valgobservatør-gruppe på i alt 300 personer.
So numerous were the candidates that specially sized ballot papers had to be printed for the 30 July poll.
26 millioner vælgere var registreret, og valgdeltagelsen var på ca. 70 %.
After a decade of war and millions dead, this election offers hope for the people of Congo and the region.
Stemmesedlen omfattede 9600 parlamentskandidater og 33 præsidentkandidater.
Twelve MEPs joined 300 EU election observers and 50,000 Congolese volunteers to monitor the poll.
En succes, men "omfattende forsoningsarbejde venter forude"
A success but "major reconciliatory work lies ahead"
Jürgen Schröder (EPP-ED, DE), der var leder af EP's valgdelegation til DR Congo, kaldte valgene "en kæmpe succes og en god start", men advarede samtidig om, at et "omfattende forsoningsarbejde venter forude".
Jürgen Schröder, German Christian Democrat MEP and chair of the parliamentary delegation to Congo called the elections " a huge success and a good start", but warned that "major reconciliatory work lies ahead".
De 12 MEP'er var enige om, at valget havde været vellykket og fredeligt afviklet, på nær nogle få voldelige optrin efter valget, og enkelte tekniske problemer på selve valgdagen.
The team of MEPs reported the election was a significant success with polling day mostly peaceful, with some isolated violence after the poll and a few logistical and technical problems on election-day itself.
En afgørende 2. valgrunde skal afholdes den 29. oktober.
A decisive second round of elections is scheduled for 29 October.
Ulrich Stockmann (PSE, DE) og Margrethe Auken (Verts/ALE, DK) sagde, at de var positivt overraskede over den høje valgdeltagelse på næsten 70 %.
The delegation also added that "the assistance of the international community made the elections possible", but "the extreme dedication of the polling stations staff made them workable."
EP's valgdelegation tilføjede, at "hjælpen fra det internationale samfund gjorde valgene mulige" og understregede, at "den enorme ildhu fra medarbejderne ved valgstederne medvirkede til at de blev gennemført".
German Socialist Ulrich Stockmann and Danish Green Margrete Auken said they were pleasantly surprised by voters' enthusiasm and the high turnout - estimated at 70%.
50.000 nationale observatører deltog i valgafviklingen.
Drawing parallels with elections in Ukraine, Fiona Hall a British Liberal noted that "In the orange-branded Commission Electorale Indépendante (CEI), the Congo has achieved its own orange revolution".
Et land, der rejser sig fra krig
A country emerging from war
DR Congo har siden 1996 været involveret i én af Afrikas blodigste krige.
The Democratic Republic of Congo has, since 1996, been embroiled in Africa's bloodiest war.
Da den var på sit højeste, involverede den 9 afrikanske lande og 20 bevæbnede grupper.
At its height it involved 9 African nations and 20 armed factions and destabilised the entire great lakes region of Africa.
Da våbenhvilen blev indgået i 2002, var ca. 3,8 millioner mennesker blevet dræbt.
By the time of the ceasefire in 2002, an estimated 3.8 million people had died.
EU har ydet betydelig økonomisk hjælp til valgprocessen i DR Congo, og er den største bidragyder med næsten 150 millioner euro i direkte støtte, og 100 millioner euro fra medlemsstaterne.
The European Union has significantly helped in the election process, funding most of the election, training several thousand Congolese policemen and providing a military force to ensure security for four months during the election period.
Europa-Parlamentets rolle
Continued support needed to establish "democratic culture"
Europa-Parlamentet planlægger at sende en gruppe MEP'er til DR Congo for at overvåge den næste valgrunde i oktober.
The European Parliament intends to send another group of MEPs to monitor the second round of elections in October.
Bilaterale besøg mellem Europa-Parlamentet og det congolesiske parlament vil også blive arrangeret.
Another form of help will be bilateral visits between the European and Congolese Parliaments.
Som Margrethe Auken udtrykte det: "måske kan vi være en inspiration for det congolesiske parlament".
Emphasising the need for continued engagement, Mr Stockmann said, "We have to support the Congolese Parliament in establishing a democratic culture".
Og Jürgen Schröder afsluttede: "vi kan være et eksempel på hvordan man løser konflikter via dialog i stedet for gennem våben".
Before leaving Kinshasa, delegation Chairman Jürgen Schröder summed up the mood when he said that "people are tired of wars and transitional governments".

Flere penge til bekæmpelse af vold mod kvinder, børn og unge
Daphne III - combating and prevention of violence against children, young people and women
Parlamentet kræver i betænkningen flere penge til programmet.
Regarding the war in Lebanon, Parliament issued a call on 20 July - for an immediate ceasefire and had urged the EU Member States to speak with a single voice.
Fremtidens europæiske socialmodel: Fælles værdier i forskellige systemer
On human rights, Ms Halonen said "the EU must pursue a consistent human rights policy in all parts of the world".
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog med stort flertal en initiativ-betænkning om fremtiden for den europæiske socialmodel.
The Finnish president welcomed the EU's "rapidly developing crisis management policy", including the sending of a force to help the UN in Congo and its support for the peacekeeping operation in Darfur.
På trods af, at vi i Europa indretter vores sociale systemer meget forskelligt, er de alle bygget på de samme værdier.
Measures to tackle the humanitarian situation had been a success, including the pledge of over 300 million euros in aid.
Mental sundhed: Parlamentet ønsker handling
"The region is our neighbourhood, after all", she emphasised.
Tallene er alarmerende: Hver fjerde europæer vil på et tidspunkt i sit liv blive ramt af en depression eller en anden form for mental sygdom.
At the EU-Russia summit in November, a key goal would be to agree on a renewal of the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement due to expire next year.
Parlamentet ønsker i betænkningen, at Kommissionen fremlægger et direktiv om mental sundhed.
Another form of plurality was also crucial, namely that of political views, as evidenced in the European Parliament itself.
Flysikkerhed: Europa-Parlamentet vil have indflydelse på oplysninger
"A pluralistic Union needs to have a multidimensional parliamentarism".

Åbning af mødet 4. september 2006
An amendment was also adopted pointing on the definition of "oil".
Formanden for Europa-Parlamentet, Josep Borrell åbnede september måneds første samling med at tale om de vigtige begivenheder, der havde fundet sted i sommerpausen.
Parliament adopted a first-reading report on the successful EU programme seeking to combat and prevent violence against children, young people and women: Daphne.
Situationen i Mellemøsten vil være til debat onsdag eftermiddag.
The report was adopted with 552 votes in favour 51 against with 64 abstentions.
Borrell nævnte også de stadigt voksende strømme af flygtninge, som kommer til Lampedusa i Middelhavet og de Kanariske øer.
A common programme was criticised out of the concern that the Daphne programme might loose visibility if combined with measures related to drug addiction.
Sommeren har desuden været mærket af terrorisme både i forbindelse med den formodede terroraktion på fly mellem UK og USA, som blev forhindret af britisk politi, men også Tyrkiet har været ramt af bomber.
Daphne should as well be open to a wider range of NGOs, for example organisations that fight against child abduction and paedophilia and for the European Network of Ombudspeople for Children (ENOC), say MEPs.
Han bliver afløst af Antonio de Blasio.
Costs of interpretation in the EU institutions - call for pragmatic solutions
"Atomkraft er ikke sikkert"
(See link at the end of the article)
På de 1 minuts taler i starten af samlingen talte Margrethe Auken fra den Grønne gruppe om atomkraft og de problemer der har været i august måned på det svenske atomkraftværk Forsmark.
The report says that the total cost of all the linguistic services of the EU institutions, translation and interpretation combined, represent merely 1 % of the total EU budget.
Hun nævnte at der ifølge den tidligere sikkerhedschef på værftet havde været fare for nedsmeltning i starten af august, og kritiserede at der ikke er nok åbenhed når sådanne begivenheder sker.
MEPs are, however, very concerned that in 2003 approximately 16% (€25.9m) of the total interpretation costs of €163m represented costs for services supplied but not used and for stand-by arrangements.

Situation in Middle East - MEPs support UN resolution
Betænkningen bakker op om Kommissionens forslag om, at registreringsafgifter på personbiler på sigt skal udskiftes med en årlig miljøafgift.
MEPs call on the Quartet to revive the implementation of the Roadmap with a view to the annual UN General Assembly session in September.
Registreringsafgifter på personbiler er meget forskellige i EU - fra 0 til 180 % af prisen på en bil før skatter.
The House stresses also the importance for all the EU Member States to act in line with the requirements of Resolution 1701 related to arms supplies.
Det er ifølge Kommissionen med til at skævvride det Indre Marked, det er meget administrativt indviklet og kan betyde, at mennesker som køber en bil i ét land og flytter til et andet skal betale to gange.
Finally, the House resolves to send a fact-finding delegation to Lebanon, Palestine and Israel in order to monitor the situation, with special focus on the humanitarian and political conditions.
Parlamentet understregede også, at det nye system skal være budgetneutralt for medlemslandene.
In the future we may need to be able to take new responsibilities as well as part of the quest for peace.
På forslag af den konservative gruppe anbefalede Parlamentet desuden, at veteranbiler og biler, der er over 20 år gamle ikke skulle omfattes af direktivet.
Above all, "the Middle East needs a strong sovereign, unified and politically independent Lebanon… to contain the very real risk of spill over of tension that remains".
Registreringsafgifterne er meget forskellige i medlemslandene.
Ultimately, "decisive action is needed to get the parties back on track to a negotiated peace".
Karin Riis-Jørgensen, bakkede som ordfører op om EU- Kommissionen, til trods for, at Danmark er et af de lande, som ventes at stemme imod i Ministerrådet.
The leader of the Socialist group, Martin SCHULZ (DE) said there was a historic opportunity for Europeans and the EU, who had a duty to make practical contributions to finding solutions, when the United States' proposed solutions had completely failed, contributing to the current crisis.
I sin betænkning går hun videre end Kommissionen ved at foreslå, at de nye årlige afgifter ikke kun skal være afhængige af udledningen af CO2, men at der skal ses mere bredt på, hvor meget bilen forurener.
Europe's contribution should be military, but also based on international law, with a humanitarian and diplomatic aspect.
"Forslaget er godt fordi, det tager hensyn til miljøet.
“The core problem is to solve the Palestinian issue, which is the heart of destabilisation in the region.
Hun lagde vægt på, at det nye system skal være budgetneutralt for medlemslandene, som derfor også skal have en lang overgangsperiode på 10 til at gå over til det nye system.
He called for a regional organisation to be created, along the lines of the CSCE which had provided a forum for dialogue between all sides in Europe even at the height of the Cold War.
Veteranbiler skal undtages
He concluded by condemning terrorism as something all should combat.
Werner LANGEN ( PPE-ED, DE) var glad for Riis-Jørgensens udkast, men understregede, at det nye system ikke måtte diskriminere de store biler unødigt.
Speaking for the Greens/EFA, Daniel COHN-BENDIT (DE) pointed out that Parliament had not paid attention to resolution 1559 or the disarmament of Hezbollah a year ago: “The international community had a UN resolution, but it was shelved rather than being used as a tool for politics.”
Han ønskede desuden at veteranbiler, som har været indregistreret i mere end 20 år skal undtages af reglerne.
He said we needed to persuade the Israelis that the creation of a Palestinian state would in fact weaken Hamas's Islamist project.
Katerina BATZELI (PSE, ES) lagde vægt på, at det er vigtigt at de nye systemer rent faktisk kan uføres i landene.
Francis WURTZ (GUE/NGL, FR) said the events of the summer in the Middle East had been beyond belief.
Registreringsafgifterne kan først afskaffes, når medlemslandene ønsker det.
The EU's primary role should be to protect the State of Israel and its people, she said.
De nye systemer må ikke føre til, at forbrugerne blive tabere.
Gianni De MICHELIS (NA, IT) agreed that the EU should be involved in the Middle East.
Det skal være industrien, der skal påtage sig omkostningerne.
The Israeli prisoners should certainly be released but there were also 9,000 Palestinians in Israeli prisons.
Satu HASSI (VERTS/ALE, FI) sagde, at fjernelse af registreringsafgift måske ikke er det mest miljøvenlige i alle lande.
Liz LYNNE (ALDE, UK) said the Council's failure to call for an immediate ceasefire meant “We stood back and let civilian infrastructure be destroyed, and over a thousand people be killed in Lebanon and Israel.”
F.eks. havde øgede afgifter i Finland ikke ført til køb af mere miljøvenlige biler.
But if I and people like me are angry about Lebanon [...] just think of the ammunition given to those indoctrinating young Muslims.
