Alene denne sommer ankom 10.000 afrikanske indvandrere til Lampedusa i Italien, og 20.000 til de kanariske øer.
EU Justice ministers also met last week to discuss the issue.
MEP'er "mener, at fordelingen af ansvaret og den økonomiske byrde mellem medlemsstaterne skal være en integrerende del af enhver europæisk strategi på indvandringsområdet samt EU's fælles asylsystem".
A resolution on the issue followed on Thursday with MEPs calling for cooperation between countries - a "sharing of responsibilities and financial burdens...must be an integral part of EU immigration policy".
I EP's beslutning understreges behovet for at indføre en fælles integrationspolitik i EU.
MEPs recognised the need to adopt an equitable "EU return directive" guaranteeing return in dignity and safety of those who have no right to stay in Europe.
MEP'er hævder, "at ingen helhedsstrategi for indvandring kan ignorere de tiltrækningsfaktorer, som overhovedet får mennesker til at forlade deres lande" og "erkender behovet for at vedtage et EU-tilbagesendelsesdirektiv".
During the earlier debate on Wednesday Finland's Minister of interior Kari Rajamäki (representing the Council) said: "The EU needs to intensify its efforts to provide practical support for the Member States that bear the greatest burden due to the arrival of large numbers of illegal immigrants."
MEP'er mener ikke, at en massiv legalisering af ulovlige indvandrere er en løsning på lang sigt.
MEPs press for more Parliamentary influence in this area
I stedet skal man forsøge at løse de underliggende problemer.
Whether Europe has the tools to deal with this issue was raised in the debate.
MEP'er beklager, at Rådet stadig ikke har kunnet fastlægge en fælles indvandringspolitik, og ønsker at få beføjelser på området via den fælles beslutningsprocedure.
The Chair of Parliament's Civil Liberties Committee, French MEP Jean-Marie Cavada emphasised the necessity to implement the 'passerelle' clause.
Der kræves stadig enstemmighed i Rådet om alle spørgsmål vedrørende lovlig indvandring.
This would allow EU Ministers in the Council to take decisions by qualified majority, and not as at present by unanimity.
Kan du lide hajfinnesuppe?
Also adopted on Thursday: Report on Shark fins
Hajfinner er en delikatesse i Fjernøsten, hvor de bruges i suppe og endda har ry for at være et afrodisiakum.
With some parts of the species facing extinction the need for action is great.
Derimod er resten af hajen ikke nær så eftertragtet, hvorfor den ofte bliver smidt over bord, når finnerne er blevet skåret fra.
The problem is that the fin is removed and the carcass thrown back into the sea.
I EU har det siden 2003 været forbudt at fange hajer blot for deres finners skyld.
This practice has been legislated against in the EU since 2003 but the report called for greater monitoring of its implementation.

EU's regnskaber for 2006 til eftersyn
Tuesday is budget discharge day
MEP´erne kigger i dag nærmere på budget året for 2006
MEPs put the EU's finances in 2006 under the spotlight today
Ansvarsfriheden for budgetåret 2006 er et emne, der blev behandlet under denne uges parlamentssamling i Strasbourg.
Tuesday in Strasbourg MEPs will vote on whether to sign off on the expenditure of the EU's institutions and Agencies for 2006.
Dan Jørgensen (PSE, Danmark) har været ordfører på den tungeste del af opgaven, som har med EU-Kommissionens regnskaber at gøre.
Known as the "budgetary discharge" procedure, the discharge is the decision by which MEPs close the life of a budget cycle.
Hans betænkning blev vedtaget med stort flertal (582 for, 49 imod og 54 hverken for eller i mod).
The purpose is to verify if the money was spent properly and verify precise revenue and expenditure.
Den såkaldte budget-discharge er det sidste skridt, hvor Parlamentet lukker den budgetmæssige procedure på grundlag af Revisionsrettens årlige rapport.
The discharge represents the political control of the budget.
Det er kun fordi EU-Kommissionen har lovet massive forbedringer, at Parlamentet tirsdag højst sandsynligt vil godkende regnskaberne for 2006.
The discharge procedure can produce three outcomes: the granting, postponement or refusal of the discharge.
Dan Jørgensen (PSE, DK) har været ordfører på den tungeste del af opgaven, som har med EU-Kommissionens regnskaber at gøre.
MEPs will debate and vote on 30 reports about financial expenditure on everything from the Court of Justice to the European Environment Agency.
En af Europa-Parlamentets vigtigste opgaver er at holde øje med, at EU's penge bliver udbetalt efter reglerne.
Parliament's Budgetary Control Committee is recommending that MEPs vote to grant a discharge in all cases.
Hvert år skal Parlamentet således godkende regnskaberne fra det foregående år, hvilket også bliver kaldt at give discharge.
This year the Budgetary Control Committee has welcomed the Commission's progress towards a more efficient use and control of EU funds - in particular the Common Agricultural Policy.
Institution for institution gennemgår MEP'erne regnskaberne for at se, om EU's penge er blevet givet ud efter reglerne.
However it still seeks to improve supervision of structural funds and external actions .
I år har Dan Jørgensen været ordfører på den betænkning, der vedrører den største del af regnskabet, nemlig Kommissionen.
MEPs on the Committee focused on improving rules on MEPs’ own administrative expenditure.
Budgetkontroludvalget var også i år meget tæt på at udsætte godkendelsen af regnskaberne for 2006.
Members on the Committee are also committed to establishing a formal statute for MEPs' assistants.
Det var især i forbindelse med udbetalinger af strukturfondsstøtte og penge til udviklingshjælp, at udvalget fandt uregelmæssigheder og grund til kritik.
A refusal to grant the discharge is a "nuclear option" in Parliament's supervisory arsenal, regarded as a serious political sanction.

Fra Tampere til Haag: EP-Seminar om området frihed, sikkerhed og retfærdighed
MPs to debate freedom, justice and security in EU - are we moving forward?
Juridisk samarbejde er i fokus på EP-seminar
Judicial cooperation under the spotlight of Parliamentarians and experts
Her syv år efter, forsøger man - med Haag-programmet - at skabe en fælles indvandrings- og asylpolitik for EU-25.
Experts from Europol, the EU's new border agency "Frontex" and the international organisation for migration as well as the EU's anti-terrorism coordinator will be present.
Medlemmer af Europa-Parlamentet (MEP'er), nationale parlamentarikere og EU-eksperter mødes i Europa-Parlamentet (EP) den 2. og 3. oktober for at drøfte fremskridt og mangler inden for området frihed, sikkerhed og retfærdighed i EU.
Other topics on the agenda include the state of EU judicial cooperation and the fight against terrorism - with special attention being paid to respect for fundamental human rights.
I juni 2006 gjorde EU-Kommissionen status over fremskridtene i forbindelse med gennemførelsen af Haag-programmet.
However, some countries - notably Denmark, the UK and Ireland - decide to "opt -out" of some areas of the policies.
Konklusionerne var, at der stadig er lang vej igen.
What practical steps have been taken?
Dette skyldes blandt andet, at der er stor forskel i den måde, hvorpå EU-lovgivning bliver indarbejdet i national lovgivning, at der stadig kræves enstemmighed på nogle af områderne og at beslutningsprocedurerne er komplicerede.
Three important steps have been taken - criminal legislation across the EU has been gradually brought into greater harmony so that criminals can no longer use differences in criminal system to cheat justice.
MEP'er, medlemmer af de nationale parlamenter og eksperter fra blandt andre Europol, Frontex (EU's agentur for forvaltning af det operative samarbejde ved medlemsstaternes ydre grænser), IOM (International Organization for Migration), EU's koordinator for terrorbekæmpelse samt dommere fra Geneve-konventionen, mødes i dag og i morgen til et to dages seminar i EP, hvor de vil diskutere fremskridt og mangler i forhold til at opfylde Tampere og Haag-programmerne.
Secondly - the "mutual recognition principle" has been developed - so that a decision taken by judicial authorities in one county shall be recognised and executed in another.
Deltagerne vil herunder drøfte, hvad der skal til for at fremme et yderligere europæisk samarbejde, samt for at øge effektiviteten og gennemskueligheden på området.
Finally - cooperation between judiciaries has been accelerated with the creation of the European Judicial Network in 1998.
Debatterne på mødets anden dag (den 3. oktober) kan følges direkte via EP's live-udsendelse.
The interparliamentary meeting hosted at the European Parliamentary should hopefully steer a clear future path.

EU's relationer med Indien i fokus under Borrells besøg
Europe's relations with India in focus with resolution and Borrell visit
Indien, en ung og optimistisk nation
India, a young and optimistic nation
Formanden for Europa-Parlamentet Josep Borrell besøger Indien i denne uge, hvor han skal mødes med indiske regeringsmedlemmer og forretningsledere.
Josep Borrell, President of the European Parliament, travels to India this week to meet senior government ministers and business leaders.
De skal blandt andet drøfte handelsforbindelser, energiforsyning, miljøbeskyttelse og terrorisme.
Some of the issues to be discussed include trade links, energy supply, protection of the environment and terrorism - which were in a resolution passed by MEPs last week.
Disse emner var også på dagsordenen i sidste uge, da Europa-Parlamentet (EP) vedtog en beslutning, der omhandler EU's nuværende og fremtidige forbindelser med Indien, samt udstikker EP's holdning forud for topmødet mellem EU og Indien den 13. oktober.
It explored the EU's current and possible future relations with India and sets out Parliament's position ahead of the EU-India summit on 13 October.
EP's formand Josep Borrell besøger et land, der består af 1,1 milliarder mennesker, der også er kendt som verdens største demokrati.
President Borrell finds himself in a country of 1.1 billion people - the second most populous on the planet and the world's largest democracy.
Indien er tillige et land med en stor kulturel mangfoldighed, idet forfatningen anerkender 23 forskellige sprog (hindi og engelsk er dog de to eneste sprog, der bruges i administrationen).
India is also a country of great cultural diversity - the constitution recognises 23 languages - more than in all 25 EU countries combined.
Indien: En ny leder
India: "crossroads between...Far East and energy-rich Middle East…"
EU er Indiens største handelspartner, og selvom relationerne mellem EU og Indien generelt er gode, er der også uoverensstemmelser, blandt andet om den høje importtold på visse europæiske varer.
India has an economy that is growing at an average of 6% a year with the EU being India's biggest trading partner and the largest source of India's foreign direct investment.
Indien mener endvidere, "at EU's "ikke-toldmæssige hindringer", bl.a. handlinger til beskyttelse af handelen, sundhedsrelaterede standarder og kontrol med folkeslags bevægelighed skaber et uigennemtrængeligt marked".
Although relations are good there are some tensions over high import tariffs on some European goods and India would like to see a reduction in "non-tariff barriers" - like trade defence actions and restrictions on the movement of people.
Specielt på IT-området er Indien langt fremme, da landet tiltrækker 44 % af de globalt handlede IT-baserede tjenesteydelser og "outsourcing".
India is particularly strong in the IT sector, with a 44% share of globally traded IT services and "outsourcing".
En indisk ansat i IT-sektoren tjener 8000 $, hvor en tysk arbejder, til sammenligning, ville tjene 70.000 $ for det samme job.
In this sector wages are $8,000 compared with $70,000 for an equivalent job in Germany, for example.
Bånd mellem EU og Indien
There are strong cultural links between India and the EU.
Der eksisterer stærke kulturelle bånd mellem Indien og EU.
In 2020 in the EU the average age will be 45, in India it will be 29.
Der bor ca. 3 millioner indere (eller mennesker med indiske rødder) i EU, hvorimod 30.000 europæere er bosat i Indien.
The Erasmus scholarship scheme and the Jean Monnet Chair in European Studies at the University of Delhi are helping to build academic ties.
EP er meget opsat på at bevare et godt forhold til Indien, hvilket man blandt andet sikrer via en Sydasien-delegation af MEP'er, der opretholder tætte forbindelser til det indiske parlament.
Parliament is strongly committed to good relations with India - it has a delegation of MEPs for South Asia who maintain strong links with the Indian Parliament.
Denne delegation er i øvrigt ledet af Neena Gill - en britisk MEP med indisk baggrund.
The delegation is headed by Neena Gill, a British MEP of Indian origin.
EP opfordrer til , at der afholdes et parlamentarisk topmøde en gang om året samtidig med eller umiddelbart før det årlige EU-Indien-topmøde.
The Parliament resolution also restated the EP's call for an annual parliamentary summit either before or alongside the annual EU-Indian summit.

The Commission and Council will make statements.
Topmødet i Lathi
High representative for the CFSP Javier Solana will take part in the debate.
MEP'erne diskuterer onsdag eftermiddag det uformelle topmøde den 20. oktober i Finland.
The debate on preparations for the forthcoming informal meeting of Heads of State and government to be held on 20 October in Lahti, Finland will therefore start at 4pm .
Aftale om personoplysninger
The informal meeting will focus on energy, illegal immigration and innovation policy.
Told på sko fra Kina og Vietnam
MEPs then turn their attention to the issue of footwear imports from China.
Skotolden over for sko fra Vietnam og Kina er på programmet onsdag aften i en mundtlig forespørgsel til Kommissionen
On the basis of oral questions to the Council and Commission, MEPs will have the opportunity to debate the merits of this week's Council decision to levy import duties on shoes from China and Vietnam.
Dyrenes velfærd skal sikres
Of particular interest is an own-initiative report on the protection and welfare of animals 2006-2010 .
EU-Kommissionens handlingsplan for dyrevelfærd 2006-2010 er til debat onsdag aften i Europa-Parlamentet.
The Agriculture Committee believes that "consumers should be informed and prepared to pay higher prices for products originating from farms with higher animal welfare standards and that these products should be appropriately labelled".
Landbrugsudvalget, som står bag Parlamentets betænkning, er generelt tilfreds med, at der endelig er en samlet plan for dyrevelfærd, men foreslår nogle forbedringer.
The Agriculture Committee also "calls upon the European Community to bring an end to dog, bull and cock fighting through national or community legislation as appropriate, and by ensuring that those involved receive no state or national subsidy relating to their activities. "
Udvalget for Borgernes Rettigheder og Retlige og Indre Anliggender ønsker, at agenturet også skal kunne agere i forhold til sager, der vedrører de områder, der ligger inden for 3. søjle, dvs. politisamarbejde, det retslige område, immigration og anti-terror-samarbejdet.
The Civil Liberties Committee is insisting that the remit of the future EU Agency for Fundamental Rights be extended to third pillar issues such as policing, justice, immigration and counter-terrorism.
MEP'erne ønsker også, at Parlamentets rolle i forhold til agenturet bliver styrket.
It also wants not only EU Member States and candidate countries but also those with association agreements to come within the agency's scope.
Velvidende, at et egentligt EU-patent for øjeblikket ikke er muligt, opfordrer Parlamentets største grupper Kommissionen til at undersøge mulighederne for at forbedre patentsystemerne i EU.
Six separate reports which simply codify existing EU legislation by Diana WALLIS (ALDE, UK), on behalf of the Legal Affairs Committee, will be put to the vote.

MEP'erne diskuterer onsdag eftermiddag det kommende uformelle topmøde den 20. oktober.
MEPs will debate the forthcoming Lahti informal meeting of Heads of State or Government on 20 October 2006.
EU's stats- og regeringsledere samles den 20. oktober i den finske by Lathi 100 kilometer nord for Helsinki.
The Lahti informal meeting will start with a working lunch, at which the topic for discussion will be external energy policy.

Debat om told på sko fra Kina og Vietnam
Shoe imports from China and Vietnam
Europa-Parlamentet debatterer onsdag eftermiddag EU's regler for indførelse af skotold over for sko fra Kina og Vietnam.
On the basis of oral questions to the Council and Commission, MEPs will have the opportunity to debate the merits of this week's Council decision to levy import duties on shoes from China and Vietnam.
Parlamentets forespørgselsdebat med Kommissionen kommer netop, som medlemslandenes ministre den 5. oktober med snævert flertal blev enige om at indføre 16,5 procent straftold på lædersko sko fra Kina og 10 procent straftold på sko fra Vietnam for at beskytte det europæiske marked mod prisdumping.
The oral questions have been tabled on behalf of the International Trade Committee by Enrique Barón Crespo (PES, ES) on the subject of the Commission's anti-dumping inquiry into shoes from these two countries.
Danmark var blandt de lande, der stemte i mod forslaget med den begrundelse, at der er tale om protektionisme.
In the course of its inquiry, which began in 2005, the Commission discovered compelling evidence of large-scale subsidies by China and Vietnam to their shoemakers.
EU-landene importerede i 2005 ifølge EU-Kommissionen 1,25 mia. par sko fra Kina og 265 millioner par fra Vietnam.
This finding led it to propose anti-dumping tariffs on footwear from China (19.4%) and Vietnam (16.8%), which came into force in April this year.
Fra 2004-2005 var stigningen i eksporten af lædersko fra Kina til EU-landene på 450%.
The oral questions are designed to elicit more detail of the inquiry's conclusions.
Kommissionen kom i sommeren 2006 med en undersøgelse, der konkluderede, at der fandt prisdumping sted, blandt andet fordi Kina og Vietnam angiveligt skulle give statsstøtte til skoproducenterne.
However, MEPs will also be keen to debate the entire issue following the Council's agreement this week to support Mr Mandelson's proposal for duties of 16.5% on Chinese shoes and 10% on Vietnamese shoes as of 7 October.
Derfor foreslog Kommissionen at indføre anti-dumping-foranstaltninger i form af højere toldsatser.
Under the compromise reached in Council these tariffs will be reviewed after two years rather than the five years proposed by Mr Mandelson.
Kommissionen havde oprindeligt ønsket, at den nye toldordning skulle vare i 5 år, men ministrene blev enige om, at ordningen kun skulle gælde i to år.

Næste skridt i genopbygningen af Balkan
Boosting ties between EU and Mercosur
Genopbygningen af Balkan går ind i en ny fase, med opløsningen af Det Europæiske Genopbygningsagentur i slutningen af 2008.
The International Trade Committee, in an own-initiative report by Daniel Varela (EPP-DE, ES) on economic and trade relations between the EU and Mercosur, looks at the plans for an interregional association agreement launched at the first summit of heads of state or government of the EU and Mercosur in Rio de Janeiro (June 1999).
Europa-Parlamentet stemmer torsdag om en betænkning fra Udenrigsudvalget om opløsningen af agenturet.
The committee believes both continents have an interest in seeing Mercosur open up to Asia, South Africa and the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council.
