Lettere at overføre penge og bruge kortet i Europa
Zimbabwe: MEPs condemn Mugabe dictatorship
Det skal være ligeså nemt at overføre penge til Hamburg som til Hobro.
In a resolution adopted on Thursday by 68 votes to 1 with 0 abstention, Parliament issues a hard-hitting condemnation of the Mugabe regime.
MEP'erne stemte om et nyt direktiv, der skal indføre et nyt system for betalingstjenester i Europa.
MEPs call on Member States to apply the EU's existing restrictions on Zimbabwe strictly, including the arms embargo and the travel ban.
En uformel aftale med Rådet betyder, at reglerne, som også vil gøre det lettere at bruge betalingskort i andre lande, blev vedtaget allerede efter førstebehandlingen, hvilket vil give banksektoren tid til at nå målsætninger om at kunne gennemføre det nye system fra 2010.
They also urge that all aid to Zimbabwe be delivered exclusively through NGOs, the EU being the most important donor to the country.
Selvom pengesedlerne og mønterne i euro-landene har været de samme siden 2002, er der stadig forskel på reglerne for de elektroniske betalinger afhængigt af, hvilket land man bor i.
In a resolution adopted on Thursday by 68 votes to 1 with 0 abstention, Parliament issues a hard-hitting condemnation of the Mugabe regime.
Ofte er det forbundet med gebyrer, og det kan tage lang tid at overføre penge mellem lande.
MEPs call on Member States to apply the EU's existing restrictions on Zimbabwe strictly, including the arms embargo and the travel ban.
Det skal direktivet om betalingstjenester nu rette op på.
They also urge that all aid to Zimbabwe be delivered exclusively through NGOs, the EU being the most important donor to the country.
Ideen med direktivet for betalingstjenester er at skabe et 'indre marked for betalinger', der vil betyde, at det skal være lige så nemt at overføre penge til Hamburg som til Hobro.
In the wake of the violent break-up of the Save Zimbabwe Campaign prayer rally organised on 11 March this year by opponents of the regime - two people were killed and more than 300 were arrested - MEPs strongly condemn the Mugabe dictatorship for "its relentless oppression of the Zimbabwean people, opposition parties and civil society groups and its destruction of the Zimbabwean economy".
Det gøres ved at indføre et fælles system for bankerne til overførsel af penge.
The House condemns the murder of opposition activist Gift Tandare and the arrest of Morgan Tsvangirai, chairman of the Movement for Democratic Change, Nelson Chamisa, Grace Kwinjeh, Lovemore Madhuku, William Bango, Sekai Holland, Tendai Biti, Arthur Mutambara and many others treated brutally by the police forces.
Forslaget betyder også, at udbyderne af betalingstjenester skal have mulighed for at udbyde deres tjeneste overalt i Europa, og at forbrugerne får de samme rettigheder over hele Europa.
Acknowledgment of crisis by neighbouring countries Parliament takes heart from one new development : "the recognition by SADC that a crisis exists in Zimbabwe and the appointment of President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa to facilitate dialogue between Zanu-PF and the opposition MDC".
Da Kommissionens lagde deres forslag til direktiv på bordet, var der bekymring for om, det ville betyde, at de danske forbrugere skulle betale gebyr hver gang de kørte dankortet igennem, og for, om selvrisikoen, hvis man mister eller får stjålet sit kort, ville blive hævet.
EU must apply its own measures in full However, the EU must play its part too, and Parliament calls on the Council "to ensure that all Member States rigorously apply existing restrictive measures, including the arms embargo and the travel ban".
De problemer skulle være løst, efter at finansministrene blev enige om en aftale den 27. marts, der sikrer, at der ikke skal betales gebyr, samt at de europæiske regler for, hvor meget man selv skal hæfte for, hvis man mister sit kort, bliver minimumsregler, så danskerne ikke skal betale mere, hvis de mister deres kort.
MEPs are also in favour of enlarging the list of banned individuals so that it encompasses even more of Mugabe's power structure, including government ministers, deputies and governors, military, the CIO and police personnel, and the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe.
Den europæiske betalingsindustri har forpligtet sig selv til at sikre, at alle EU-borgere fra 2010 kan foretage betalinger overalt i Europa til samme vilkår som i deres hjemland.
In addition, Parliament calls on the Council to ensure that no banned persons are invited to, or attend, the planned EU-Africa Summit in Lisbon in December this year.
Blandt de punkter i kompromiset, der blev vedtaget ved dagens afstemning i Parlamentet er blandt andet:
In 2006, the EU donated €193 million in total.
oprettelsen af en ny kategori af udbydere "betalingsinstitutter", som blot formidler betalinger og ikke tager indskud på den måde som banker gør.
The House backs the initiative of the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly to send a delegation to Zimbabwe to "ascertain the situation on the ground".
betalinger skal være udført senest den følgende arbejdsdag, både når der er tale om overførsler i euro til en euro-konto eller fra f.eks. kroner til euro.
This investigation should be carried out as soon as possible.
gebyrer skal deles mellem betaler og modtager, men det slås fast at gebyrer kan være lig nul eller at alle gebyrer kan påhvile modtageren.
MEPs insist that the government of Zimbabwe grant access to the country to all members of any such delegation.

Hvordan skal pengene bruges i 2008?
Economic ties, missile defence and visas highlighted in debate on EU-US relations
Forberedelserne af budgettet for 2008 er i fuld gang.
Parliament stresses that bringing the WTO Doha Development Agenda to a successful conclusion with full respect for the development dimension and make progress in the matter of developing countries' access to medicines is a priority for both parties.
Næste års budget skal ifølge Parlamentet være: resultatorienteret, antallet af ansatte skal matche de politiske udfordringer, og så skal der fokus på kommunikations- og informationspolitikken.
Mr Gloser referred to the questions of combating terrorism, strengthening the transatlantic economy, the mobility of citizens between the EU and the US and the forthcoming EU-US aviation agreement.
Ordføreren lægger i sin betænkning vægt på, at 2008-budgettet vil komme til verden på baggrund af 50-årsdagen for underskrivelsen af Rom-traktaten med et fornyet pres på at få forfatningstraktaten bragt fremad.
The EU and the US have much in common on foreign policy, stressed the Commissioner, and planned to "tackle a number of key areas" for example "in Kosovo and Afghanistan we will make every effort to bring about stability, prosperity and the rule of law."
Han understreger, at det er vigtigt i et EU med 27 medlemslande at gøre globaliseringen til en chance for de europæiske borgere.
Mr Spidla hoped for "a clear statement to emerge from the summit for the Climate Change Conference to be held in December 2007".
Parlamentet mener desuden, at det er vigtigt, at EU's årlige politiske prioriteringer bliver fastlagt på en måde, der effektivt kan videreformidles til EU's borgere.
Turning to civil liberties issues, the Commissioner said the EU would "call on President Bush to commit himself to ensuring that all EU citizens can travel to the US without a visa".
For bedre at kunne reagere på pludselige politiske ændringer påpeger Parlamentet vigtigheden i at have mere luft i budgettet.
We need to strengthen our ties to the US Congress, and I am happy that "the first EP office to open abroad will be in Washington, DC".
Parlamentet ser derfor frem til resultaterne af den screening, som er i gang i Kommissionens tjenestegrene for at give et billede af Kommissionens reelle personalebehov.
On the Middle East, he wanted to emphasise that “the new national unity government in Palestine is not left in lurch, we want to support this development.”
Resultaterne forventes at blive fremlagt den 30. april 2007.
There was now a duty for Europe and America to help repair the damage.
"Men vi må jo alle blankt erkende, at der er meget snævre og ufleksible rammer for budgettet.
The Americans should have a moratorium on the death penalty, for example.
Det gør det vanskeligt at få alle ønsker opfyldt.
There is also the need to take the initiative "as Europeans."
Her opfordrer jeg på det varmeste Kommissionen til at interessere sig for Parlamentets prioriteter.
In Afghanistan we need to ensure sufficient funding ourselves "so that peaceful developments are available", and in Kosovo, "we simply cannot wait for the Americans to solve the problems for us."
Kommissionen læner sig gerne tæt op ad Parlamentet, når den mangler ansatte og penge, men når det handler om Parlamentets prioriteter bliver det straks vanskeligere," sagde Anne E. Jensen.
For his group, Francis WURTZ (GUE/NGL, FR), told the House "Merkel has stated that the key project in transatlantic relations will be harmonisation of and cooperation in market regulation.

In economics, the US "has already adopted a global approach."
Kampen mod aids skal styrkes
We must also insist on respect for fundamental rights.
Parlamentet ønskede tirsdag at sikre en mere effektiv kamp mod hiv/aids i EU og nabolandene gennem blandt andet mere forskning og flere målrettede informationskampagner.
We must have more cooperation between Congress and Parliament in order to bring democratic accountability and the desired goal of a transatlantic Schengen-type zone.
Ifølge UNAids under FN var der i 2006 22.000 nye tilfælde af hiv/aids i Vest- og Centraleuropa i 2006.
"The healthy long-term prospects of its free enterprise economy are in sharp contrast with the EU's gradual decline in a sea of over-regulation."
Det står endnu værre til i nabolandene (ca. 270.000 nye tilfælde i 2006, heraf 90 % i Rusland og Ukraine).
Finally, together we must urge Russia to behave as a reliable energy supplier and uphold its commitments to democracy and human rights.
Og ifølge en undersøgelse fra EU's statistiske kontor Eurostat fra februar 2006 tror 45 % af EU-borgerne stadig, at man kan blive smittet med sygdommen ved at drikke af det samme glas som en, der har aids eller er hiv-positiv.
He pointed out that the three presidents, Barroso, Bush and Merkel, would be holding a formal briefing session with the TABD, the global corporate CEOs, but have so far not scheduled any such meeting with either US or EU legislators.
Også i forhold til undervisningen i skolerne skal der gøres mere ud af at fremme en sikker seksuel adfærd.
Mr Gloser felt that the EU had succeeded in moving from unilateralism to multilateralism, and getting the US on board, with regard to Iran, Russia and China.
Der skal også gøres mere ud af at målrette kampagnerne til de særlig udsatte grupper, særligt indvandrere, der kommer fra lande, hvor mange er smittet, samt mennesker der arbejder i sex-branchen.
However, more progress is needed in the Middle East, he said, hoping that the 30 April EU/US summit would provide solid foundations for addressing the critical points.
Parlamentet ønsker, at Kommissionen især skal være opmærksom på at rette programmerne mod kvinderne for at imødegå det faktum, at stadig flere kvinder bliver smittet med HIV.
Commissioner ŠPIDLA welcomed Parliament's view that every effort should be made to find multilateral solutions to common challenges, including climate change.
I den forbindelse mener Parlamentet, at der skal forskes mere i, hvordan kvinder selv kan beskytte sig, uden at manden skal samtykke, ved blandt andet at udvikle og udbrede kondomer til kvinder, femidomer, og microbicider, som er et stof, der kan formindske smitterisikoen.
Dialogue between MEPs and their US Congress counterparts is a pillar of transatlantic relations that deserves to be strengthened, inter alia by holding the annual transatlantic dialogue meeting before the EU/US summit, and involving legislators more extensively in the process, he said.

Prisen på de fremtidige udvidelser
Ukraine urged to solve its crisis peacefully, but could the EU have done more?
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog tirsdag med stort flertal (473 for, 113 imod og 104 undlod) en betænkning, der ser på de kommende udvidelsers betydning for effektiviteten af den regionale støtte.
While Ukraine is seen as a vital interest of the EU, there was a consensus that the country's politicians must find a solution themselves without outside interference.
Yderligere udvidelser af EU vil kunne udvide EU's areal med 35 % og befolkningstallet med 27 %.
Free and fair elections and a free press are essential to the democratic process and would always have the EU's support, he concluded.
Men pengemæssigt vil det gå ned ad bakke, fordi det vil medføre en gennemsnitlig nedgang i BNP/indbygger med 18 %.
For the Commission, Vladimir Špidla reminded MEPs that negotiations for an expanded co-operation agreement with Ukraine had begun on 5 March and stressed that a solution to the current difficulties must be found.
Og skal man bruge de nuværende kriterier for uddelingen af strukturfondsstøtten, vil det betyde, at der skulle 150 milliarder euro mere i struktur-kassen for 2007-2013.
"It is not the role of the EU to intervene" in these developments, said the Commissioner, but "we should call on all political forces to work together for compromise [...] we have confidence that Ukraine's young democracy will pass this test".
Det er de tørre tal i den betænkning af Markus Pieper (PPE-DE, DE), som Parlamentet vedtog tirsdag.
It is "vital", he added, "that today's situation be resolved in line with the rule of law".
Betænkningen sætter fokus på konsekvenserne af de fremtidige udvidelser i forhold til samhørighedspolitikkens effektivitet.
As he then went on to say, the EU "could have done more to stop this crisis from developing" -- namely, with financial aid and more political support.
I den endelige tekst blev spørgsmålet om Tyrkiet dog ikke så skarpt formuleret som nogle MEP'ere havde ønsket.
The challenge was "to overcome internal conflict so that they can undertake the necessary reforms to have closer ties with us".
Et forslag om at gøre regionalstøtten afhængig af kandidatlandenes politiske fremskridt, som skulle præsenteres som en 'særlig form for EU-medlemskab', blev afvist.
However, the crisis was of a "domestic political nature" and the EU could only help by remaining neutral - though it obviously had "an interest in a stable democratic Ukraine".
Det understreges også, at de nuværende medlemsstater vil blive berørt økonomisk, idet adskillige regioner ikke længere vil være berettiget til støtte efter de gældende kriterier.
On behalf of the Greens/EFA, Rebecca Harms (DE), said that "despite the confusion", the conditions in Ukraine are "so much more stable than we could have hoped for four years ago."
Udvalget fremsætter en række forslag til at tackle problemet, herunder større brug af lån og medfinansiering.
Mrs Harms ended with a reference to Poland as "the most important advocate of the Ukraine in the EU", with the hope that Poland can "pass on the European approach to the Ukraine."
Jens-Peter Bonde (IND/DEM, DK) talte på vegne af sin gruppe under debatten mandag aften.
On behalf of the IND/DEM group, Bastiaan Belder (NL) expressed the firm belief that "the future of the EU and the future of Ukraine are closely interlinked", since "the EU-27 will have to extend its borders" and "Ukraine will be taken on board one day".
"Vi var rige, vi fik rabat.
“The EU cannot act as a broker, it is a domestic matter.
Rumænien og Bulgarien skal sammen med de andre nye medlemslande betale fuldt kontingent.
The President and Prime Minister of Ukraine need to come together to find a solution.”
Til gengæld får de så reduktion i udbetalingerne.
It was necessary for people in Ukraine to decide what to do.

Medlemslandene skal tage større ansvar for EU's penge
MEPs take stock of EU record on human rights protection in 2006
Parlamentet godkendte tirsdag EU's regnskaber for alle institutioner og agenturer fra 2005 i den såkaldte dechargeprocedure, men kom med en række anmærkninger ikke mindst i forhold til, at det efter 12 år stadig ikke har været muligt for Revisionsretten at give en blank revisionsrapport.
On Thursday, 26 April, the European Parliament gave overwhelming backing to the EP's 2006 annual report - drafted by Simon Coveney (EPP-ED, IE) - on Human Rights in the World.
Mange MEP'ere var utilfredse med, at Rådet ikke var til stede under debatten.
MEPs expressed particular concern about the situation in Russia, China and Iran; the EU and its institutions did not escape criticism.
Flere af dem, blandt andet ordføreren Bart Staes (Verts/ALE, BE) og det spanske medlem Javier Pomés Ruiz (PPE-DE, ES) undrede sig over, at Rådet valgte at være fraværende, når nu Parlamentet især bad om handling i forhold til medlemslandenes forvaltning af EU-budgettet.
The 2006 report assesses the human rights activities of the Commission and the Council -- and the overall performance of the Parliament in this field.
Mange andre stillede spørgsmålstegn ved det stigende antal EU-agenturer.
It focuses on EU policies with respect to human rights offenders, submits criticism of EU actions and makes concrete policy recommendations.
Kallas sagde, at de positive fremskridt som nogle lande havde gjort, var et skridt i den rigtige retning.
That said, members urge the Council and Commission "to raise the question of Tibet" in talks with the Beijing government.
Det sker dog ikke uden bemærkninger.
It also calls on the Commission to use the European Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR) to promote contacts and cooperation with Iranian civil society.
Igen i år tager Parlamentet spørgsmålet om forvaltningen i medlemslandene op ved at genfremsætte sit forslag om nationale erklæringer, hvor medlemslandene skal forsikre om, at de skal foretage effektiv kontrol af brugen af EU-penge.
The House also reserves strong criticism for the Russian government, "regretting" that the EU has had "only limited success in bringing about policy change as a result of raising difficult issues" -- such as the situation in Chechnya, the treatment of human rights defenders, and freedom of expression.
80 % af EU's udgifter bliver administreret i medlemsstaterne.
The report goes on to "deplore Russian legislation limiting the activities of NGOs", as well as the fact "that journalists and human rights defenders have been threatened".
MEP'erne insisterer på, at disse erklæringer skal underskrives af den ansvarlige myndighed på nationalt plan.
It remains "appalled at the murder of Anna Politkowskaja" and is concerned about allegations of Russian involvement in the poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko and of the mistreatment of Mikhail Khodorkovsky while in detention.
Første gang Parlamentet fremsatte forslaget om de 'nationale erklæringer' var i 2003.
The Parliament "urges the Commission and Council to raise such cases with the Russian authorities at the highest level and in the new PCA with Russia".
Parlamentet glæder sig over, at Holland allerede har indført de nationale erklæringer, mens Storbritannien og Sverige er i gang med at udvikle det.
"Regretting" that the EU has not taken "more unilateral action" to persuade the Sudanese government to accept an international peacekeeping force in Darfur, the report urges the EU to back "an international peacekeeping force" and "the enforcement of the no-fly zone over Darfur".
Også det danske revisionsorgan vil afgive en erklæring om forvaltningen af EU-midler.
The Council, it goes on to say, should agree "a plan of specific, targeted sanctions to be imposed on the Khartoum regime [...] in the event of non-compliance with the demands of the international community."
Parlamentet beder Kommissionen om inden udgangen af 2007 at komme med et forslag til Rådet om nationale erklæringer, der omfatter alle de EU-midler, der bliver forvaltet i medlemslandene.
-urges the adoption of "more effective and targeted sanctions" against the government of Myanmar in light of the country's deteriorating human rights situation;
Fra debatten Mogens Camre (UEN, DK) talte som ordfører for dechargeproceduren omkring udviklingsfonde.
- asks that the EU include the issue of persecution on the basis of sexual orientation in its discussions on human rights with third countries.
Han beklagede, at Revisionsretten ikke har kunnet afgive en blank revisionserklæring.
The report also makes some criticisms of the EU institutions’ activity in the area of human rights.
"Hvis vi skal undgå de problemer, der er omkring den korrekte forvaltning af EU's midler, er det næppe nok blot at kræve mere kontrol.
It asks the Council to explain “how it was possible for Belarus to be elected onto the Governing Body of the International Labour Organization (ILO) in June 2005” – even though “four major EU countries are permanent members of that Governing Body.”
Vi må spørge os selv, om den nuværende støttelovgivning både på landbrugsområdet og for strukturfondenes vedkommende bør laves fuldstændig om.
It also notes “with total stupefaction” the provisional suspension by ECHO of humanitarian aid for Iraq, despite “the disastrous situation afflicting the suffering Iraqi people and Iraqi refugees"
Den tidligere hollandske kommissær, Bolkestein, har for nylig påpeget, at 85 % af EU's udgifter med fordel kunne skæres væk.
MEPs note that the Union, in its texts, attempts “to link immigration and development and ensure that the fundamental rights of immigrants are respected”.
Det er jo i realiteten meningsløst, at de 15 gamle EU-lande giver penge til hinanden, "sagde Mogens Camre.
Still, they maintain, “the reality on the ground gives the lie to the texts”: readmission agreements are being concluded with third countries that do not have the legal and institutional machinery to handle the readmission of nationals and protect their rights.
Dan Jørgensen (PSE, DK) anbefalede på vegne af sin gruppe, PSE, at give decharge.
The United Nations does not escape criticism, either, particularly with regard to its newly created Human Rights Council (UNHRC).
"Vi anbefaler, at vi godkender budgetterne for 2005, men vi gør det ikke uden anmærkninger, og vi gør det ikke uden krav.
The EP points to "the need for the EU to make more effective use of its leverage in order to promote important issues on the agenda of the UNHRC".
Vi mener for det første selvfølgelig, at kontrollen skal strammes endnu mere.
The report closes with a host of recommendations to the Council and Commission.
