Kommissionen tager med forslaget forskud på det planlagte eftersyn af landbrugsudgifterne, mener Parlamentet og kræver at blive mere involveret.
The Commission proposal for a voluntary modulation scheme would allow 20% of direct payments to be diverted to rural development projects, at the discretion of each Member State.
Allerede i november 2006 forkastede Parlamentet med stort flertal Kommissionens forslag om, at medlemslandene inden for rammerne af den frivillige graduering kan nedskære op til 20 % af al direkte landbrugsstøtte og bruge pengene på udvikling af landdistrikter.
Agriculture Commissioner, Mariann Fischer Boel said in the debate on 13 February: "It is no big surprise that you have reconfirmed the views that were expressed last autumn and once again called on the Commission to withdraw its proposal.
Der er ikke andre begrænsninger i gradueringen end, at dem, der modtager mindre end 5.000 euro i direkte støtte, er fritaget.
I know and I understand Parliament’s concerns about voluntary modulation.
Parlamentets protester i november har dog ikke fået Kommissionen til at trække forslaget tilbage, og heller ikke fra ministrene i Rådet har der være nogen reaktion på Parlamentets hårde udmeldinger.
My position is no secret to you, and a repetition of your arguments and of my arguments is not necessary, but we have to face reality.
Den danske landbrugskommissær, Mariann Fischer BOEL, sagde under debatten, at hun forstår Parlamentets bekymringer, og at Kommissionen er åben for realiser-bare forslag, som kunne føre til et acceptabelt kompromis mellem Parlamentet og Rådet.
Turning to solutions other than voluntary modulation, I would have preferred to ensure sufficient funding in our rural development policy, but the European Summit decided otherwise.
Et svar, som ordføreren Lutz GOEPEL (PPE-DE, DE), ikke var tilfreds med: "I siger I vil gøre noget, men indtil videre er intet hændt," sagde han.
One thing is very clear to me: the European Parliament’s concerns do not fall on deaf ears.
"Rådet tager os ikke seriøst, de ignorerer os - det er ikke til at holde ud [..].
Although the Council has reaffirmed its wish to maintain its proposal, efforts are currently being made to accommodate your concerns.
Vi vil blive ved med at insistere, indtil Rådet og Kommissionen kommer med konkrete forslag, som tjener de europæiske landmænds sag"
There have been concerns that voluntary modulation would unravel the common agricultural policy, but, as it stands now, all of the indicators are that voluntary modulation will only be used in a very limited number of Member States to boost their own rural development programmes."
I landbrugsspørgsmål har Parlamentet normalt kun en rådgivende funktion.
New chairman of the Agriculture Committe, Neil PARISH (EPP-ED, UK) said " Madam President, I think the Commissioner now finds herself between a rock and a hard place.
Men Parlamentet mener, at forslaget foregriber det planlagte eftersyn af landbrugsudgifterne i 2008-2009, og at Parlamentet derfor skal deltage på lige fod med de andre i diskussionerne, fordi det er sådan det foregår, når de bredere finansielle perspektiver for EU bliver fastlagt.
Commissioner, you know very well you do not like the Council proposal, and you know that, under the institutional agreements, you have to put it forward.
Parlamentet mener, at Kommissionen inden for rammerne af eftersynet af landbrugsudgifterne bør fremsætte et nyt forslag til finansiering af udgifterne til udvikling af landdistrikter.
Now, we are listening to what you are saying, but we dislike the voluntary modulation intensely, so we are waiting for a new proposal to come forward.
Denne nedskæring ville så kunne udlignes ved, at dele af landbrugsstøtten kunne bruges til formålet.
On the point that Mr Allister made, this is not voluntary modulation to all those farmers that lose their payments.
Hed debat om CIA-flyvninger
MEPs debate alleged CIA renditions ahead of the vote on the final report
Parlamentet var stærkt delt i dagens debat om de formodede CIA flyvninger og hemmelige fængsler inden dagens afstemning, som afsluttede et års arbejde med at undersøge, om CIA har brugt det europæiske luftrum til flyvninger med fanger, og om CIA har haft hemmelige lejre i Europa.
The House debated the final report from the Temporary Committee investigating the alleged use of European countries by the CIA for the transportation and illegal detention of prisoners.
Nogle MEP'ere fordømte i stærke vendinger CIA og nogle EU-landes regeringer, mens andre kaldte betænkningen for anti-amerikansk propaganda.
MEPs expressed a variety of opinions with some condemning the CIA and EU Member State governments while others called the report anti-American propaganda based on speculative media reports.
Giovanni Claudio FAVA (PSE, IT) har været ordfører på Parlamentets betænkning.
The rapporteur, Giovanni Claudio FAVA (PES, IT) pointed to the challenge inherent in the fight against terrorism and stated that the results of this report do not "allow anyone to look the other way."
Han mente, at resultaterne af undersøgelsen ikke kunne tillade nogen at vende det blinde øje til det, der er foregået.
He mentioned again the principal actors who allegedly colluded with the CIA, reiterating that "around this affair there are responsibilities."
Fava understregede, at Parlamentet ikke repræsenterer regeringerne, og skal vise sin selvstændighed.
As an example, he referred to an innocent victim who had been tortured while in detention in Syria and stated that "this was a sample of humanity which was damaged, hurt and humiliated."
Fra det tyske formandskab var det statssekretær for Europaanliggender, Günther GLOSER, der havde ordet.
Speaking for the German Presidency of the Council Günther GLOSER recalled that it was one year ago that the European Parliament had taken the decision to set up the temporary committee to investigate alleged CIA renditions.
Han understregede, at Rådet er enig med Parlamentet i, at man ikke bør undergrave frihedsrettigheder i kampen mod terrorisme.
The Council, he said, could not accept any compromise with regard to human rights, for example the Council has long-stated that Guantanamo Bay should be closed "forthwith".
Unionen har dog ikke nogen beføjelser i forhold til overvågning af efterretningstjenesterne, sagde han.
"A more reticent use of words would have been more appropriate as the Council and the European Parliament are not so far apart on these matters," he said.
Han mente ikke, at betænkningens bebrejdelser over for Rådet er berettiget.
Speaking for the European Commission, Vice-President and Commissioner responsible for Justice, Freedom and Security, Franco FRATTINI said the issue of security is central to the debate, but legality is a prerequisite for security, security can not be provided at any cost.
"Det er påstande, der lidt for hurtigt er blevet til kendsgerninger," sagde han, og mente ikke, at Parlamentet og Rådet stod så langt fra hinanden, som det kunne se ud til i betænkningen.
It was important that there was a quest for the truth and that the facts were clearly established, and this is what the judges would do.
Retskommissær, Franco FRATTINI, lagde i sit indlæg vægt på, at sikkerhed er blevet en grundlæggende rettighed for borgerne efter 11. september.
The Commissioner also stated that it was for national courts and inquiries to establish the facts, nevertheless the temporary committee's report had provided "a harvest of information".
"Sikkerhed er grundlaget for, at frihedsrettighederne kan udøves.
Commissioner Frattini said: "It is clear that the US and the US authorities are not in the dock, it is the terrorists that are in the dock."
Men sikkerhed er ikke noget, man kan få for enhver pris", sagde han.
For example it had turned up in Washington acting like a tribunal, something which clearly "did not facilitate dialogue".
Han takkede Parlamentets udvalg for at have fundet frem til kendsgerninger, der kan blive grundlaget for yderligere undersøgelser, men understregede, at det er regeringerne, der skal foretage de nødvendige undersøgelser og tage de nødvendige skridt.
He told the House that if his group's amendments were not adopted, it would vote against the report, but even if they were adopted, many of the group's Members would still vote against.
"Det vil være et politisk fejltrin, hvis vi giver det indtryk, at det er USA, der er på anklagebænken.
But, he stressed, these services "must be allowed to deal with external threats!"
Vi skal understrege, at det er terroristerne, der sidder på anklagebænken," sagde Frattini.
Council of Europe rapporteur Dick Marty, he added, "shares my view" and moreover has said there is "nothing new in the Fava report".
Det italienske medlem Jas GAWRONSKI (PPE-DE, IT) talte på vegne af PPE-DE.
For the Socialists, Wolfgang KREISSL-DÖRFLER (DE) said "we cannot play the song of freedom on an instrument of violence".
Han kunne kun anbefale sin gruppe at stemme ja til betænkningen, hvis visse vigtige ændringsforslag blev vedtaget.
The committee's work had been to find out "what happened to people who were abducted and tortured, who was behind it?"
Fra socialistgruppen mente Wolfgang KREISSL-DÖRFLER (PSE, DE) at, "Man ikke kan spille frihedssangen på voldens instrument".
"Illegal practices on European territories is not something the governments can condone".
"Det er rigtigt, at den internationale terrorisme truer os, og vi skal bekæmpe den med alle midler," sagde han og understregede, at det skulle være med udgangspunkt i vores retsprincipper.
"We must remember what our community of values is based on: the rule of law, the separation of powers and democracy".
Han understregede, at vi ikke kan tillade, at efterretningstjenesterne gør som det passer dem, og at regeringerne ikke kan se igennem fingre med ulovligheder, der bliver begået på deres territorier.
Lastly, he told the House there were "sins of omission and sins of commission" and the committee's work had been to bring these matters to light.
"I en retsstat er man ansvarlig for det, man gør, men også for det man ikke gør," sagde han og sluttede af med at sige, at der ikke skal være nogen vej fra Europa, der fører til Guantantamo.
"No paths must lead to Guantanamo", he concluded.
Fra den liberale gruppe kunne Ignasi GUARDANS CAMBÓ (ALDE, ES) støtte betænkningen.
Speaking on behalf of his group, Ignasi GUARDANS CAMBÓ (ALDE, ES) told the House "what is at stake here today is Europe's credibility".
Han afviste, at udvalget har optrådt som en domstol.
True, there were some facts that could not be proved before a court but this was "because many governments involved did not help us".
"Vi er et politiske organ, og vi bygger på kendsgerninger, som er tjekket og bevist," sagde han.
This, he said, was the statement on which the House would be voting today.
Konrad SZYMAŃSKI (UEN, PL) mente ikke, at udvalget havde fundet frem til nye oplysninger.
The twelve months of investigations confirmed fears, but turned up little in the way of new facts, said Konrad SZYMAŃSKI (UEN, PL).
Han kaldte betænkningens beskyldninger mod Solana og Gijs de Vries og en række medlemslande for absurde.
However, this "inconvenient" lack of evidence got left out of the picture, amidst accusations ranging from abduction to torture.
"Der er ikke et eneste bevis for, at der er ulovlige fangelejre i Polen," sagde han.
In the case of Poland, "there is no proof", so its accusers should "stay silent", he said.
Cem ÖZDEMIR (Verts/ALE, DE) var tilfreds med samarbejdet med Kommissionen, NGO'ere og nogle regeringer, men beklagede, at det ikke var alle lande, der havde været samarbejdsvillige.
These investigations were an "excellent example of collaboration with the Council of Europe and the fourth estate, especially the press and media" countered Cem ÖZDEMIR (Greens/EFA, DE).
Han var blandt andet forundret over, at Polen har handlet "som om de stadig var en del af Warsawa-pagten".
Yet within Parliament, "some committee members have been dealt with as if this were still the Warsaw Pact era", he said, adding that "if there's nothing to hide, you don't deal with people like this", and that "the acquis communautaire doesn't disappear on accession".
Han afviste, at der var tale om anti-amerikansk propaganda og om at have medlidenhed med terroristerne og understregede, at man godt kan menneskerettighed og transatlantiske bånd samtidig
Khaled El Masri (a German resident who claims to have been abducted by CIA agents in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) still awaits an apology from the US authorities and clarifications from their German counterparts, said Mr Özdemir, adding that other, similar, cases still need to be investigated in Germany.
Giusto CATANIA (GUE/NGL, IT) mente, at arbejdet i udvalget havde været nyttigt.
This report is an "historic step", and the European Parliament has "brought rigour to its task" echoed Giusto CATANIA (GUE/NGL).
"Vi har kunnet spore os tilbage til den perverse amerikanske strategi, der har brugt tortur og undergravet menneskerettigheder," sagde han og antydede også, at formanden for EU-Kommissionen, José Manuel Barrosso, da han var premierminister i Portugal, havde kendskab til oplysninger han ikke gav videre.
"The US strategy was possible thanks only to the complicity of European secret services" he continued, and "Solana and De Vries need to address this" (Mr Javier Solana is the EU's EU Foreign Policy Representative and Secretary-General of the Council and Mr Gijs de Vries is its Counter-Terrorism Co-ordinator).
Luca ROMAGNOLI (ITS, IT), der talte på vegne af ITS-gruppen, mente ikke at der var noget nyt i forhold til det, der allerede havde været fremme i pressen.
Luca ROMAGNOLI (ITS, IT) said that the temporary committee had tried to investigate the allegations, but he could not agree with the report's conclusions which he said, "should be thrown-out".
"Det er latterligt at anklage efterretningstjenesterne som vi har gjort her, hvis man ønsker at beskytte befolkningerne mod terrorisme"
Eoin RYAN (UEN, IE) said: "Some people are arguing that we should all support this report because otherwise we are not standing up for human rights.
Det er denne betænkning også", sagde Helmer.
"We have had far too few terrorists convicted so far," he said.
"Hvis vi vedtager denne betænkning, vil terroristerne forstå, at vi er mere interesseret i terroristernes komfort end i de mennesker, deres handlinger går ud over."
I hope there will be huge vote in favour of Member States discharging their moral and institutional duty to find out what has happened and change the rules where necessary, including on secret services."

Bedre beskyttelse af personlige oplysninger
Passenger Name Records / SWIFT - MEPs stress improvements needed on data transfer to US
Parlamentet vedtog i dag en betænkning, der ønsker bedre beskyttelse af de europæiske borgeres personlige oplysninger - både i forhold til oplysninger om bankoverførsler og de oplysninger vi giver, når vi rejser over Atlanten.
Agreements on PNR, SWIFT and the existence of the US Automated Targeting System (ATS), have led to a situation of legal uncertainty with regard to the necessary data protection guarantees for data sharing and transfer between the EU and the US for the purposes of ensuring public security and, in particular, preventing and fighting terrorism.
Kigger CIA med på kontoen, når vi betaler for at leje et sommerhus i Spanien?
The House welcomes the fact that the US administration has recently taken note of these reservations and that it will seek to improve the situation with the following steps:
Og hvad med alle de oplysninger man skal give om sig selv for at få lov til at rejse ind i USA?
(a) the establishment of privacy officers and/or an independent privacy agency within the federal administration, who are to undertake privacy assessments of all initiatives that could potentially impinge on privacy;
I kampen mod terror er særligt de amerikanske myndigheder på jagt efter oplysninger, der kan fælde terroristerne.
(b) setting up a mechanism to guarantee US citizens a right of appeal in the event of incorrect use of their data;
Men hvordan kan man sikre, at ganske almindelige borgernes personlige oplysninger om f.eks. bankoverførsler ikke bliver misbrugt?
MEPs believe, however, that these improvements are insufficient as regards data protection for EU citizens and that it would be warmly welcomed if the 1974 Privacy Act could also apply to EU citizens on a reciprocity basis in order for them to have access to their data, including rectification and modification, as well as having access to a legal redress mechanism and to an independent data protection authority.
Parlamentet vedtog i dage et beslutningsforslag om de to omdiskuterede problemstillinger angående oplysninger om bankoverførsler (SWIFT) og om passageroplysninger (PNR).
The House insists that in matters of data protection the agreements should strive to achieve a high level of protection as regards risks of abuse and should be supplemented with binding principles at EU level as regards the protection of data for security purposes (third pillar).
Parlamentet anerkender, at den fælles brug af data og oplysninger er et værdifuldt instrument i den internationale bekæmpelse af terrorisme og den dertil knyttede kriminalitet, men mener også, at den fælles brug af personoplysninger skal finde sted på et passende retsgrundlag, der er knyttet til klare regler og betingelser, og være omfattet af behørig beskyttelse af privatlivets fred og den enkelte borgers civile frihedsrettigheder.
MEPs believe that it is necessary to define with the US a common and shared framework to safeguard the necessary guarantees that are needed in the special EU-US partnership in the fight against terrorism, which could also deal with all aspects concerning the free movement of persons between the EU and the US.
Begrænset udbredelse af flyoplysninger
As regards the negotiation of the long-term PNR agreement
Som det er nu, beder de amerikanske myndigheder om oplysninger i 34 kategorier på de mennesker, der rejser ind i landet.
MEPs stress that, in addition to the points already adopted by Parliament in September, a future long-term PNR agreement should be founded on the following principles:
Parlamentet mener desuden, at en fremtidig langsigtet aftale med USA om passageroplysningerne skal baseres på et tilstrækkeligt beskyttelsesniveau i forbindelse personoplysninger, og at der skal foretages en regelmæssig evaluering af, hvorvidt programmets databeskyttelse er tilstrækkelig og effektiv.
(e) there must be a regular evaluation of the programme's data protection adequacy and effectiveness, involving the EP and, if possible, the US Congress; an annual evaluation must be part of any future agreement; the evaluation report must be made public, and must be submitted to the European Parliament;
Europa-Parlamentet og om muligt den amerikanske Kongres skal inddrages i udformningen af aftalen, og der skal være en evaluering af aftalen hvert år, der ligeledes skal forelægges for Europa-Parlamentet;
(g) the conditions currently laid down in the US undertakings must become an integral part of the agreement and must be legally binding; a future agreement must have more democratic legitimacy, with full involvement of the European Parliament and/or ratification by national parliaments;
Desuden insisterer Parlamentet på, at passagererne bør informeres om overførsel af deres oplysninger og have adgang til deres data, herunder til at berigtige eller ændre dem.
(i) passengers should be informed of the transfer of PNR records and have access to their data, including rectifying and modifying them, as well as having legal recourse to a legal mechanism or to an independent data protection authority;
Adgang til oplysninger om bankoverførsler
As regards the access to SWIFT data
Egentlig er det for at optrevle terroristbander, men mange almindelige danskere har måske fået overvåget deres internationale bankoverførsler af de amerikanske myndigheder i deres jagt på terroristnetværk.
The House strongly regrets the fact that, several months after these matters came to light, the Council has not yet taken a stance on this subject affecting so many citizens, consumers and enterprises, and that only seven out of 27 Member States have responded to the questionnaire sent by the Commission to obtain clarifications on respect for national and Community data protection laws.
Den 22. november 2006 konkluderede den særlige arbejdsgruppe for databeskyttelse under Kommissionen, at EU's databeskyttelsesdirektiv ikke var blevet overholdt i forbindelse med udleveringen af oplysninger fra SWIFT.
– as SWIFT overseer, to explore solutions in order to ensure compliance with data protection rules and to ensure that rules on confidentiality do not prevent information from being supplied in good time to the relevant authorities;
Parlamentet beklager også, at Rådet adskillige måneder efter, at disse anliggender er kommet for lyset, endnu ikke har indtaget et standpunkt i dette spørgsmål, og at kun syv ud af 27 medlemsstater har besvaret det spørgeskema, som Kommissionen har sendt ud om databeskyttelseslovgivningen på nationalt plan og på fællesskabsplan.
MEPs believe that the EU and the US are fundamental and loyal allies in the fight against terrorism and that this legislative framework should therefore be the basis for the negotiation of a possible international agreement, based on the assumption that SWIFT as a Belgian company is subject to Belgian law and is consequently responsible for the treatment of data in accordance with Article 4(1) of Directive 95/46.
20070208IPR02901 Forslag til beslutning om SWIFT, PNR-ordningen og den transatlantiske dialog om disse spørgsmål
Parliament draws attention to the fact that SWIFT provides services elsewhere than in Europe and in the US and therefore considers that any measure adopted should take into account the global aspect of SWIFT's services.

Bedre indsats mod klimaændringer
Climate change: tougher targets needed, say MEPs
Parlamentet vedtog med stort flertal (616 for, 25 imod 30 undlod) et beslutningsforslag om klimaændringer, hvori det kræves, at alle EU's interne politikker skal bases på målet om at nå til en 30 % reduktion af emissionerne af CO2 i 2020.
In a resolution on climate change, Parliament calls for a range of clear and binding measures to tackle the problem in the medium and long-term.
I beslutningsforslaget understreger Parlamentet behovet for en konkret indsats på globalt plan for at gøre noget ved klimaændringerne såvel som behovet for politisk lederskab til at skabe fremskridt i denne proces.
The resolution is the EP's response to the Commission's paper "Limiting Global Climate Change to 2 degrees Celsius - the way ahead for 2020 and beyond", published in January.
Parlamentet er tilfreds med, at både Kommissionen og Rådets formandskab har sat klimaændringerne i centrum på den politiske dagsorden.
Tackling climate change is on the agenda of the EU's spring summit and is a priority of the German Council presidency.
Parlamentet minder om, at EU's strategi for imødegåelse af klimaændringer bør baseres på:
MEPs believe the EU's strategy on climate change should be based on two key objectives : to limit the average global temperature increase to 2°C above pre-industrialisation levels; and to undertake overall emission reductions for all industrialised countries of 30% in comparison with 1990 levels by 2020, with a view to achieving a reduction in the order of 60-80% by 2050.
begrænsning af den gennemsnitlige temperaturstigning til 2 °C over det førindustrielle niveau
Parliament stresses that energy policy is a crucial element of EU global strategy on climate change and that diversification of renewable energy resources and a switch to the most energy efficient technologies has great potential for emission reductions.
