Miljøudvalget opfordrer i andenbehandlingen til, at Parlamentet bakker op om det resultat, som EU's ministre har forhandlet på plads uden at komme med yderligere ændringsforslag.
The committee unanimously approved the Council's common position without amendment, thereby dropping the EP's earlier call for an open-ended derogation for barometer manufacturers and accepting Council's proposal for a two-year exemption instead.
Dermed giver de afkald på Parlamentets tidligere krav om en generel undtagelse for barometre ved at acceptere Rådets forslag om, at barometre i en periode på to år kan være undtaget.
On Monday evening, the House will debate the latest developments on passenger name records (PNR) and the EU-US agreement.
Slut med postmonopoler fra 2011
MEPs will vote on a resolution on Tuesday.
Hvis det står til Transportudvalget i Europa-Parlamentet, skal Post-Danmark og andre postmonopoler i EU fra 2011 ikke være alene om at stå for håndteringen og uddelingen af breve under 50 gram.
After almost four years of negotiations, Parliament and Council representatives struck a deal on the regulation on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations, known as Rome II.
Udvalget forslår dermed at trække tiden to år ud i forhold til Kommissionens forslag om allerede den 1. januar 2009 at åbne postmarkederne.
Remaining postal service monopolies in EU Member States should expire by 31 December 2010, two years later than the 1 January 2009 deadline proposed by the European Commission, according to a report being put forward by the Transport Committee.
Arbejdsmarkedslovgivning skal tilpasses det 21. århundrede
The House will also debate air transport services.
Hvis arbejdsmarkedslovgivningen skal kunne imødekomme det 21. århundredes udfordringer, skal der fokuseres mere på at sikre beskæftigelse hele livet igennem end på at beskytte særlige job i udsatte sektorer.
In order to avoid the current practice of some air carriers, i.e. publishing air fares without any taxes and charges, the Transport Committee says that passengers should be provided with a full breakdown of any taxes, fees and charges added to the ticket price.

Tilsætningsstoffer, smagsstoffer og enzymer i maden - sikrere regler på vej
EU presidency: Portugal takes up the baton
Som forbrugere er vi blevet mere og mere opmærksomme på, hvad der er i de produkter, vi køber i supermarkedet.
Mr Sócrates' compatriot, Commission President José Manuel Barroso, will take part in the debate.
Er jordbærsaften lavet af jordbær?
Future of the Union
Er farven i de røde pølser farlig?
Cyprus and Malta are due to join the eurozone in December.
Og har reje-osten nogensinde set en reje?
Internal policies
De tekniske muligheder for at give vores mad længere holdbarhed, flottere farver og kraftigere smag er utallige.
The Lisbon Agenda, designed to make the EU more economically dynamic and competitive, was launched under the last Portuguese presidency in 2000.
Tilsætningsstoffer i fødevarer er i øjeblikket reguleret af en række EU-love, som de fire nye forordninger vil forenkle og opdatere for at leve op til de seneste videnskabelige resultater.
A major summit between the European Union and Africa in Lisbon in December is due to endorse a joint EU-Africa strategy, the aims of which include closer political ties, ensuring that all the Millennium Development Goals are met in all African countries by 2015, involving non-state actors in development and addressing global challenges such as human rights, trade, disease and climate change.
Den første forordning foreslår fælles godkendelsesprocedurer for tilsætningsstoffer, enzymer og aromaer.
Europe's relations with Brazil were expected to receive boost at the first EU-Brazil summit on 4 July in Lisbon.
EU-Kommissionen skal administrere disse lister af godkendte stoffer, som skal gennem risikovurderinger, som EFSA, Den Europæiske Fødevareautoritet skal stå for at udføre.
The 18-month work programme in force since January 2007, drawn up with Germany and Slovenia (which takes over in January 2008) and endorsed by the General Affairs and External Relations Council, forms the operational basis for the Portuguese presidency.
I betænkningen af Åsa WESTLUND (PSE, SE) om den fælles EU-godkendelsesprocedure var MEP'erne i Miljøudvalget enige om vidtrækkende ændringer til Kommissionens oprindelige forslag.
After almost four years of negotiations, Parliament and Council representatives struck a deal on the regulation on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations, known as Rome II.
Først og fremmest besluttede de, at den nye godkendelsesprocedure skal være mere gennemsigtig: Enhver beslutning og begrundelserne bag den skal være offentlige, og alle ansøgninger om at markedsføre et produkt i ét land skal det ikke kun meddeles til medlemslandene, men også til Europa-Parlamentet og de berørte parter.
The Conciliation Committee agreed to introduce rules on road traffic accidents and environmental damages and delete the controversial provision on defamation by media.
Derudover ønsker MEP'erne, at alle godkendelser regelmæssigt skal tages op til revision.
Diana WALLIS (ALDE, UK) is the Parliament's rapporteur.
Kommissionen forslår selv at opdatere de godkendte lister med hjælpe fra et ekspert-udvalg, eftersom de vurderer, at den fælles beslutningsprocedure er for omfattende i denne sammenhæng.
The regulation sets out the general rule that the law applicable to a non-contractual obligation arising out of a tort (roughly speaking, an action or inaction which causes damage or injury for which there can be recourse to civil law proceedings) is the law of the country in which the damage occurs, irrespective of the country in which the event giving rise to the damage took place.
Den opfattelse deler Miljøudvalget ikke, og MEP'erne kræver derfor, at det skal være den fælles beslutningsprocedure der gælder, så Parlamentet får mulighed for at have indflydelse.
Nevertheless, for situations where the tort is manifestly more connected with another country, the regulation provides for specific rules to allow courts to treat individual cases in the most appropriate way.
De generelle retningslinjer, som bliver udstukket i denne forordning bliver understøttet af de tre specifikke forordninger om henholdsvis tilsætningsstoffer, enzymer og aromastoffer.
Finally, the involved parties are also free to agree on the law applicable to their circumstances, if the choice is demonstrated "with reasonable certainty".
300 tilsætningsstoffer skal op til revision
Traffic accidents represent the majority of cross-border disputes involving EU citizens.
Åsa Westlund står også bag betænkningen om tilsætningsstoffer, som ligeledes blev vedtaget med enstemmighed i Miljøudvalget.
Non-contractual obligations arising out of family relationships, matrimonial property issues and succession rights are excluded from the regulation.
Her ser MEP'erne nærmere på en lang række tilsætningsstoffer som f.eks. sødestoffer, farvestoffer, konserveringsmidler, antioxidanter, smagsforstærkere, geleringsmidler, fortykningsmidler og emballagegasser.
After two readings by Parliament and Council under the co-decision procedure, the main points of disagreement remaining between MEPs and EU governments concerned violation of privacy, including defamation, road traffic accidents, the definitions of environmental damage and of unfair competition, and the review clause.
Forslaget til forordning sætter krav til godkendelsen af disse tilsætningsstoffer: de må ikke være farlige for forbrugernes helbred eller være vildledende, og de skal være teknisk nødvendige i det pågældende produkt for at blive godkendt.
All these points were settled at a formal conciliation meeting on 15 May, with the outcome being described as "historic" by Diana Wallis (ALDE, UK), who piloted the legislation through Parliament.
MEP'erne i Miljøudvalget lægger desuden vægt på, at tilsætningsstofferne ikke må have en skadelig virkning for miljøet, og der bliver lagt vægt på, at brugen af stofferne skal være til fordel for forbrugeren, og at tilsætningsstofferne ikke må give forbrugerne et falsk indtryk af, at varen er friskere end den er.
At Parliament's insistence, the provisions on personal injuries and related compensation are, in the end, to be included in the regulation.
Smagsforstærkere må ifølge MEP'erne kun bruges, hvis den ønskede effekt ikke kan opnås ved at bruge krydderier.
This issue turned out to be particularly complex, due to the different practices followed in the Member States regarding the level of compensation awarded to victims of road traffic accidents.
MEP'erne udtrykker også bekymring overfor nano-teknologien og den manglende viden om sundhedsrisikoen ved brugen af denne teknologi.
According to the approved text, in a case of personal injury caused by a car accident where the victim is not in his or her home state, the court concerned should take into account the actual losses and costs incurred by the victim.
Derfor mener MEP'erne, at der skal være separate grænseværdier, hvis brugen af nano-teknologi er tilladt.
Moreover, the Commission is asked to present, before the end of 2008, a study on all options for improving the position of cross-border victims, including insurance aspects and, if appropriate, a Green Paper.
I mellemtiden vil de stoffer, der nu er godkendt, kunne blive på markedet, men når processen med at opdatere er færdig, vil det kun være de godkendte stoffer, der vil kunne markedsføres i EU.
However, national governments strongly opposed the Parliament’s position and the Conciliation Committee agreed to leave this matter to be discussed in the future under the review clause.
Smagsstoffer og enzymer: MEP'erne minder om forsigtighedsprincippet.
Unfair competition and environmental damage
Fødevareindustrien bruger mange både naturlige og kunstige aromastoffer, i øjeblikket er omkring 2600 stoffer registreret.
MEPs insisted and obtained a definition of environmental damage to be introduced in the Regulation.
En anden kategori af stoffer - fødevare-enzymer - er blevet brugt i hundredvis af år f.eks. i bagning, i fremstillingen af ost og i brygningen af øl, hvor de er med til at forbedre konsistensen, udseendet og næringsværdien.
According to the approved article, "environmental damage" will cover any damage of natural resources, such as water, land or air, or any damage to a natural resource service, as well as to the diversity of living organisms.
Som i forhold til tilsætningsstofferne mener Miljøudvalget, at brugen af både aromastoffer og enzymer kun skal tillades, hvis det er til forbrugerens fordel, hvis det ikke er vildledende i forhold til hvor friskt eller naturligt produktet er.
On unfair competition, Parliament successfully insisted on having a clear rule to ensure courts apply one single law and thus to avoid "forum-shopping".
Hvis de er produceret af GMO skal dette klart fremgå af mærkningen.
The agreed text says that, in case of restriction of competition, the applicable law is the law of the country where the market is, or is likely to be, affected.
MEP'erne mener, at aromastoffer kun skal bruges, hvis den ønskede effekt ikke kan opnås med krydderier.
This report will also provide a study on the extent to which national courts apply foreign law.
MEP'erne strammer op på Kommissionens definition af udtrykket 'naturlig' i forhold til aromastofferne.
The agreement reached by the Conciliation Committee, made up of an equal number of representatives of Parliament and Council, has now to be endorsed by the two Institutions before entering into force.
Hvor Kommissionen var klar til at kalde en aroma naturlig, hvis 90 % af indholdet kom fra det materiale der henvises til, ønsker MEP'erne at hæve denne grænse til 95%.
In both cases, at this third reading stage, no amendments can be tabled, the agreed text is either approved or rejected, in Parliament’s case by a simple majority.
Desuden skal der tages hensyn til, om brugen af aromastoffer har negative konsekvenser for sårbare grupper, f.eks. børns smagsmæssige præferencer.
If approved, the Regulation will be applicable in all Member States 18 months after the date of adoption.

Aftale om EU's folkesundhedsprogram
Ban on sale of mercury measuring instruments
Parlamentet skal i andenbehandlingen tirsdag stemme om en kompromispakke om EU's folkesundhedsprogram.
Only last month Parliament adopted another report - on the export, import and storage or mercury - which is also part of the strategy.
Parlamentets forhandlere har accepteret det budgetforslag, som Rådet er kommet med for at få programmet til at køre fra 2008.
Devices for consumer use are the prime target, for health and environmental reasons.
Men på grund af det stramme langtidsbudget, som EU-lederne vedtog i 2005 (De Finansielle perspektiver 2007-2013) endte Rådet med at skære budgettet til programmet helt ned til 365,6 millioner euro - omkring en fjerdedel af det, Parlamentet havde foreslået.
Parliament - whose rapporteur is María Sornosa Martínez (PES, ES) - is highly supportive of the ban on the whole, although it suggested a number of improvements at first reading.
I den betænkning, som Antonios TRAKATELLIS (PPE-DE, GR) har udarbejdet på vegne af Miljøudvalget, var han er klar over, at der med de nuværende finansielle perspektiver er begrænsede muligheder for at manøvrere, men han foreslog alligevel i andenbehandlingen, at dette beløb bliver sat op med 10 %, til 402.160.000 euro.
The Council accepted most of Parliament's first-reading amendments, including a demand that the Commission carry out a review of safer alternatives for mercury-containing sphygmomanometers (blood pressure measuring instruments) and other devices in healthcare and other professional and industrial uses.
Det forslag vil blive droppet med den nye kompromispakke, som er blevet forhandlet på plads af Rådet og som vil sikre, at programmet kan komme op at køre fra 2008.
Another Parliament amendment accepted by Council lays down that mercury measuring devices may be imported if they are more than 50 years old, since they are to be classified as antiques or cultural goods.
Institutionerne har til gengæld underskrevet en deklaration, hvor de påtager sig at undersøge mulighederne for løbende at finde flere penge i budgettet fra år til år.
However, a further amendment calling for a complete exemption for traditional barometer manufacturers - which Parliament adopted after hearing that such producers constitute a valuable craft industry - was rejected by Council.
Som en del af kompromiset lykkedes det Parlamentet at sikre, at programmet skal fremme sund livsstil, fjerne uligheder på sundhedsområdet.
The Environment Committee now proposes that Parliament agree instead to the two-year exemption proposed by the Council.
EU's rolle i forhold til sundhed
Dangers of mercury
EU’s sundhedsstrategi fokuserer især på at styrke samarbejde og koordination mellem landene, støtte udveksling af dokumenterede oplysninger og viden og hjælpe til med den nationale beslutningstagning.
It concentrates particularly in the aquatic food chain, making populations with a high intake of fish and seafood especially vulnerable.
Endvidere vil EU forbedre mulighederne for at reagere hurtigt på sundhedstrusler.
Many consumer products containing mercury will end up being landfilled, which may lead to slow but long term leaching.
Derfor styrker man den epidemiologiske overvågning og kontrollen med smitsomme sygdomme.
Mercury instruments pose a particular risk if they break in the home.
Det er desuden målet at sikre patientsikkerheden og sundhedsplejens kvalitet for at fremme sundhedspleje over grænserne og at øge mobiliteten blandt ansatte i sundhedsvæsenet og patienter.
Safer non-mercury alternatives exist for virtually all the instruments covered by the ban.
Ordfører: Antonios TRAKATELLIS PPE-DE GR Procedure.

Uligheder i forhold til hjerte-kar-sygdomme
Postal services should be opened up to competition by 2011, subject to strict conditions
Hjerte-kar-sygdomme er den hyppigste dødsårsag i Europa, som hvert år koster 1,9 millioner mennesker livet.
Remaining postal service monopolies in EU Member States should expire by 31 December 2010, two years later than the 1 January 2009 deadline proposed by the European Commission, according to a report being put forward by the Transport Committee.
Derfor er der brug for en samlet strategi for at forebygge sygdommene.
Letters to be collected and delivered at least five days a week, for all EU citizens
Det mundtlige spørgsmål er til debat mandag aften.
To ensure affordability, Member States may themselves decide upon the choice of financing mechanisms to be used.
Endelig vil Miljøudvalget have at vide, hvordan Kommissionen vil gøre brug af de forskellige muligheder for finansiering, der er i forhold til at forbedre udvekslingen af oplysninger om sygdommene og om tidlig påvisning og forebyggelse.
MEPs in the committee also acknowledge Member States could impose conditions on the supply of postal services for non-economic reasons, such as ensuring the confidentiality of correspondence, the security of the network when transporting dangerous goods and complying with conditions of employment and social security schemes laid down by law and/or by collective agreement negotiated between national partners.

Parlamentet skal stemme om at godkende et forbud mod ikke-elektriske kviksølvtermometre og andre instrumenter, der indeholder kviksølv.
The two own-initiative reports are intended as Parliament’s response to the 2006 ECB Annual Report and the 2007 annual report on the euro area from the Commission.
Dermed giver de afkald på Parlamentets tidligere krav om en generel undtagelse for barometre ved at acceptere Rådets forslag om, at barometre i en periode på to år kan være undtaget.
They say it is crucial that wages increase in line with developments in productivity in order to allow for job creation in a non-inflationary environment.
Så sent som i sidste måned vedtog Parlamentet en anden betænkning om emnet, som handlede om eksport, import og oplagring af kviksølv.
The report expresses concern about the ongoing appreciation of the euro against most major currencies and calls on the Eurogroup, the Council and the ECB to exercise their competences in full, coordinating more closely their actions in the field of exchange rate policy.
Slut med termometre med kviksølv
ECB governance issues
Elektriske og elektroniske måleinstrumenter med kviksølv er allerede dækket af et EU-direktiv, og formålet med det nye direktiv er at sikre, at de ikke-elektriske måleinstrumenter, som for eksempel gammeldags barometre og termometre, også bliver dækket.
Regarding the ECB’s role in providing central bank services such as Target and the Target 2 Securities project, the committee recognises the value these can have in fostering financial market integration, but warns that the presentation of an appropriate governance structure for the Bank’s activities as an active market operator is overdue.
Forbuddet vil f.eks. gælde for termometre til at måle feber med og andre måleinstrumenter til almindelige husholdninger, (F.eks. barometre, manometre, blodtryksapparater og andre termometre).
The report says that accountability and transparency would be improved if several candidates were evaluated by the Council when vacancies arise on the ECB Executive Board and if the chosen candidate were subject to a vote of approval in Parliament.
Det er med andre ord måleinstrumenterne i husholdningerne, lovgivningen er rettet mod for at beskytte brugernes sundhed og miljøet.
MEPs in the committee repeat their call for the Bank to publish summary minutes of Governing Council meetings, including the arguments in favour and against policy decisions and an indication of whether they were taken unanimously.
Der vil være enkelte undtagelser for sundhedssektoren, og forbuddet kommer kun til at gælde for nye produkter.
The report also repeats Parliament’s call the ECB to examine the reasons for the substantial increase in circulation of 500 euro notes with a view to identifying any attendant risks.
Allerede fabrikerede instrumenter kan stadig blive repareret eller købt og solgt brugt.
Here though the recommendations were mainly addressed to the Member States and the Eurogroup.
Antikke måleinstrumenter undtages
MEPs in the committee call on Member States to use the current economic upswing to reduce deficits and accumulate surpluses, as well as to improve the quality of public finance with more investment in education, vocational training research and innovation.
