Industrien kan købe og sælge allokationer, alt efter hvor meget CO2 de udleder.
Opening the award ceremony Mr Pöttering said today "is a day when we recall the fundamental principles of our Union as a force for peace, progress and human rights.
Desuden sagde hun: "Vedtagelse ved førstebehandlingen må ikke blive normen, men vi ved at vi ikke har noget valg."
MEPs then heard a recorded speech by Zeng Jinyan, herself a cyber-dissident and currently under house arrest.
Byrdedeling Satu HASSI (Verts/ALE, FI) er ordfører på direktivet om byrdedeling der opstiller mål for, hvor meget udledningen skal reduceres i sektorer, der ikke er dækket af emissionshandelsordningen (vej- og søtransport, byggeri, servicesektoren, mindre industrianlæg, landbrug og affald.)
Zeng Jinyan made the following comments from her husband, "Perhaps the European Parliament was thinking of the work I did in the areas of AIDS and the environment, because what I did in terms of human rights was very far from sufficient and I will need to redouble my efforts."
Forslaget blev vedtaget med 555 stemmer for, 93 imod, og 60 hverken for eller imod.
Not only activists but also their relatives have been "harassed by the police, lost their jobs or have been put under house arrest.
Johannes LEBECH (ALDE, DK) mente, at der var tale om en god aftale, men at man godt kunne have ønsket sig, at den var mere ambitiøs.
To provide moral support for the families, to ease their mental and life pressure to which they are subjected," she said.
Han sagde, at medlemslandene havde fået fleksibiliteten til at købe sig til CO2-reduktioner uden for Europa, men sagde samtidig at "fleksibilitetsmekanismerne skal ses som nødløsninger, ikke som midler til at nå målet" og tilskyndede medlemslandende til at levere.
Consequently, "I would like to use the €50,000 Sakharov Prize as start-up money, to establish a foundation to support the families of human rights activists."
"Det kræver politisk vilje og lederskab."
Hu Jia’s path: from AIDS and environment to human rights
Vedvarende energi Direktivet om vedvarende energi har Claude TURMES (Verts/ALE, LU) som ordfører.
Until 2004, Hu Jia devoted most of his activities to the problems of AIDS and the environment," she said.
Direktivet fastlægger nationalt bindende mål for at fremme brugen af vedvarende energi for at sikre, at mindst 20 % af EU's samlede energiforbrug er vedvarende energi i 2020.
"From 2004, the police regularly denied him his freedom of movement and he had no other choice but to participate in human rights movements from his home, writing articles and publishing reports."
Desuden indeholder aftalen en målsætning om, at transportsektorens energiforbrug skal være mindst 10 % i 2020.
"During all these years, the most important and most interesting thing he did was to have constantly persisted in speaking the truth.
Direktivet blev vedtaget med 635 stemmer for, 25 imod, og 25 hverken for eller imod.
He never stopped describing, one by one, all the realities that the Chinese media cannot say," she said.
Han understregede, at de bindende mål sikrer investeringer og mente, at en "grøn energirevolution" er på vej.
"He said he thought China was experiencing the most open period of its history...whether the government wants it or not…China is moving at great speed towards an open and democratic society," she said.
Geologisk lagring af kuldioxid Europa-Parlamentet vedtog også et direktiv af Chris DAVIES (ALDE, UK) om CO2-lagring, der sigter mod at fremme opbevaring af drivhusgasser i undergrunden.
Catastrophic humanitarian situation in Zimbabwe Parliament voices its "deep concern" at the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Zimbabwe, the cholera epidemic, the hunger and the complete refusal of the Mugabe regime to respond positively to the crisis, and expresses its outrage at the spate of recent abductions of human rights defenders.
CO2-lagring (CCS - carbon capture and storage) begrænser udledningen af CO2 i atmosfæren ved at separere denne gas ved udledningskilden og efterfølgende lagre den i undergrunden, hvor den ikke kan påvirke den globale opvarmning.
With 5.1 million Zimbabweans (almost half of the population) facing hunger, 16 400 infected with cholera, and 300 000 seriously weakened by food and in grave danger from the epidemic, Zimbabwe is "facing a humanitarian crisis of massive proportions".
Fordelen ved denne løsning er, at den afhjælper problemet med udledning af drivhusgasser allerede ved udledningskilden.
According to the international medical humanitarian organisation Médecins Sans Frontières, at least 1.4 million people are at risk of contracting cholera if the outbreak is not contained by addressing its root causes.
Ordningen skal være køreklar i 2015.
Sanctions The EP welcomes the recent extension of the EU's list of banned individuals in the Mugabe regime, and calls for further names of key Mugabe loyalists to be added.
Direktivet blev vedtaget med 623 stemmer for, 68 imod, og 22 hverken for eller imod.
It also calls on the UN Security Council to consider imposing targeted sanctions, such as travel bans and asset freezes on Mr Mugabe and persons actively engaged in violence or human rights infringements.
Chris Davies sagde selv, at CO2-lagring ikke er hans foretrukne valg, men at han ville have foretrukket at gå direkte ind i en ny tidsalder for vedvarende energi.
International community urged to provide support Turning to measures the EU could take, Parliament urges the Council and Member States to step up their diplomatic action in Africa in order to secure active support for change in Zimbabwe.
Dog mente han ikke at man kunne afvise, hvor meget kul fylder i dagens energisammensætning.
It also calls on the Council to encourage the African Union to prepare contingencies for active intervention, and to "remain vigilant in relation to the possible consequences for the region of ZANU-PF's deliberate neglect and misgovernance that is destabilising Zimbabwe".
Hanne DAHL (IND/DEM, DK) kaldte det for en "skam, at klimaplanen er blevet så udvandet efter Rådsmødet i sidste uge.
Parliament is concerned that the progress of democratic consolidation and governance in Nicaragua, particularly with regard to inclusion and active participation, is being flouted.
Nu ligner det mest af alt industriens ønskedrøm."
Two political parties were unable to take part in the local elections.
Hun gik videre og kaldte forslaget om lagring af CO2 for absurd, idet den baseres på at "gemme forurening til de kommende generationer" og sagde, at man kunne bruge pengene bedre.
There has also been accompanying violence, targeted in particular on the media The UN, the EU, the US and several Nicaraguan NGOs have expressed concern over the transparency of the elections.
Reduktion af drivhusgasser fra brændstoffer Ændringen af direktivet om brændstofkvalitet, som Dorette CORBEY (PSE, NE) er ordfører for, har en dobbelt målsætning.
Parliament regrets the fact that the climate of suspected fraud in some municipalities has provoked demonstrations and clashes between supporters of different parties, leaving a number of people injured and aggravating an already profound political crisis.
Man ønsker en forbedring af luftkvaliteten ved at reducere udledningen af bl.a. svovl og polycykliske aromatiske kulbrinter og bidrage til bekæmpelsen af klimaændringerne gennem reduktion af udledningen af drivhusgasser fra transportbrændstoffer.
The resolution also urges the Nicaraguan government and the state authorities to "protect freedom of expression and the independence of the judiciary and thus ensure preservation of their country's democratic bases, and to ensure that as soon as possible Nicaragua ratifies the Rome Statute setting up the International Criminal Court".
Denne anden målsætning er nået ud fra en ide om, at man skal beskæftige sig med hele livscyklussen: udvinding og produktionsfase, transport og distribution og slutanvendelse.
Recalling the negotiations on the Association Agreement between the EU and the countries of Central America, Parliament stresses that Nicaragua must be reminded of the need to respect the principles of rule of law, democracy and human rights, as defended and promoted by the EU.
Direktivet blev vedtaget med 670 stemmer for, 20 imod, og 25 hverken for eller imod.
"Only by coming to terms with its tragic past can Russia establish a true democratic culture".
Dorette Corbey kaldte direktivet for en nyskabelse, da det er første gang, at mål for udledningen er blevet tilknyttet produktionen af brændstof.
Between July and October 2008, there have been numerous attempts on the lives of human rights defenders.
Desuden mente hun, at 2014 er et godt år for en vurdering af direktivets gangbarhed, da man da kan vurdere, om den større brug af biobrændsel får negative konsekvenser for miljøet.
In mid-October a leading Russian human rights lawyer, Karinna Moskalenko, who has successfully represented 30 Russian citizens in the Strasbourg human rights court, was the victim of an attempt to poison her by placing mercury in her car in Strasbourg.
Bilers CO2-udledning Direktivet af Guido SACCONI (PSE, IT) om bilers CO2-udledning blev vedtaget med 559 stemmer for, 98 imod, og 60 hverken for eller imod.
In terms of targeted violence, more than 100 people were killed in 2008 on the basis of their race, nationality, religion or sexual orientation, according to the Moscow Bureau for Human Rights, raising concerns of an absence of effective condemnation of such hate crimes by Russian authorities.
Nye personbiler, som står for 12 % af alt CO2-udledning i EU, gennemsnitligt må udlede 120g CO2/km.
Concern has also been expressed at the continuing, large-scale abuses against conscripts in the Russian armed forces.
Direktivet indeholdt et langsigtet mål om en reduktion til gennemsnitligt 95 g CO2/km i 2020.
The Parliament calls on the Russian authorities to "investigate and prosecute those responsible and to uproot abusive practices within the armed forces and demonstrate a determination to modernise the prevailing culture".
Desuden er der opsat delmål for, hvor stor en del af bilfabrikanternes biler, der skal have opfyldt målene.
Lack of respect for the rule of law highlighted by case of Anna Politkovskaya Two years after the brutal killing of the Russian independent journalist Anna Politkovskaya, who has become a symbol for freedom of the press, serious concerns have been raised with regard to transparency and respect for the rule of law in the criminal investigation and trial following the murder.
Et bødesystem gør, at fabrikanter bliver straffet, hvis ikke de opfylder målene.
Parliament calls on the court to fully respect the jury's decision, open the proceedings to all journalists and media, and "establish not only who committed and assisted in the murder of Anna Politkovskaya, but also who ordered it".
Guido Sacconi mente, at EU havde opnået en aftale om bilers udledning på det mest besværlige tidspunkt, da bilindustrien gennemlever en stor krise.
Parliament also condemns the police raid on 3 December 2008 on the Memorial Research and Information Centre, an organisation, which has been conducting research into Stalinist repression in the Soviet Union.
Han mente desuden, at direktivet indeholder den fornødne fleksibilitet overfor bilfabrikanterne men var samtidig ked af, at man ikke havde bemyndigelse til at inkludere nye instrumenter såsom grøn beskatning.
The resolution stresses the importance of the continuous exchange of views on human rights with Russia as part of the EU-Russia human rights consultations, and calls for the format of such meetings to be improved so as to involve relevant ministries, the judiciary and representatives of Russian civil society.

In terms of the ongoing negotiations for a new agreement on a new comprehensive framework for EU-Russia relations (re-launched during the last EU-Russia Summit in November 2008), Parliament takes the view that respect for human rights, democracy and the rule of law should be an integral part of the new framework agreement.

Grænseoverskridende samarbejde om lovovertrædelser i trafikken
MEPs adopt toy safety directive ahead of festive season
Den nuværende situation gør, at bilister der begår en lovovertrædelse i et andet EU-land end deres eget, kan undgå den straf som lokale bilister modtager.
The EP and the Council reached a first-reading agreement before the plenary vote so that "toys can be made safe as quickly as possible" according to Marianne Thyssen (EPP-ED, BE), the rapporteur.
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog en betænkning af Ines AYALA SENDER (PES, ES), med 594 stemmer for, 35 imod, og 40 hverken for eller imod.
In addition, cases of toxic or dangerous toys being placed on the market, such as Mattel in 2007, have shown the need for tighter safety rules.
Dermed støtter Parlamentet Transport- og Turismeudvalgets ønske om at sikre at bilister kan identificeres og idømmes bøder for overtrædelser de begår overalt i EU.
Lastly, new horizontal rules, such as those on the "goods package", are about to enter into force and the toys directive needed to be brought into line with these.
Europa-Parlamentet beder desuden EU-Kommissionen om en evaluering to år efter direktivets ikrafttrædelsesdato for at undersøge, hvorvidt reglerne skal udvides til at omfatte andre trafikforseelser.
The EP has also restricted the use of heavy metals by an overage reduction of 50% (in comparison with the EC standards) of migration limits of the following metals: arsenic, cadmium, chromium (VI), lead, mercury and organic tin.
Europa-Parlamentet og EU-Kommissionen står fælles med den holdning, at forslaget hører til i fællesskabets første søjle, hvor Parlamentet deltaget i den fælles beslutningsprocedure.
In the future, the European Commission may, for the purposes of adapting the legislation to technical and scientific developments, amend the directive by the way of comitology, for instance regarding the use of CMR specific limit values for chemicals used in toys intended for children under 36 months or in other toys intended to be placed in the mouth.
Ordføreren mener også, at en udsættelse af forslaget vil gøre det svært for EU at nå sin målsætning om at halvere antallet af dødsulykker i trafikken og ordføreren beklager, at Rådet ville hindre et så vigtigt forslag.
However, in order to allow toy manufacturers and other economic operators sufficient time to adapt to the new requirements, it is necessary to provide for a transitional period of two years after the entry into force of this Directive during which toys which comply with the current legislation (Directive 88/378/EEC) may be placed on the market.

Færre kemikalier i legetøj
Stop misleading advertising by business directory companies, say MEPs
Torsdag blev en betænkning af Marianne THYSSEN (PPE-DE, BE) om en forbedring af det originale legetøjsdirektiv fra 1988 vedtaget ved Europa-Parlamentets samling i Strasbourg med 481 stemmer for, 73 imod, og 40 hverken for eller imod.
MEPs call on Member States to act together to put an end to misleading advertising by business directory companies, further to 400 complaints from small firms across Europe that they had been misled into committing themselves to pay for adverts costing €1,000 per year.
Centralt i betænkningen er, at flere stoffer bliver ulovlige at bruge i produktionen af legetøj.
They also call upon the Commission to introduce a blacklist of such misleading practices, and upon victims to report business scams.
Ligeledes bliver det ulovligt at sælge legetøj, der er i kontakt med madvarer.
The report was adopted with 632 votes in favour, 4 against and 12 abstentions.
Producenter skal ligeledes udarbejde en teknisk sagsmappe for hvert produkt og udføre en sikkerhedsevaluering, før produktet markedsføres.
Business-directory company usually approached by mail to businesses inviting them to complete or update their business name and contact details and giving them the false impression that they will be listed in a business directory free of charge.
Legetøj Et stykke legetøj er i direktivet defineret som et produkt, der bruges til leg af børn under 14 år.
Signatories later discover that they have, in fact, unintentionally signed up to a contract, normally binding them for a minimum of three years, to be listed in a business directory at a yearly charge of some €1.000.
I et bilag findes der en liste med et antal produkter, der ikke anses som legetøj.
MEPs express concern at the problem raised by the petitioners and underline the cross-border nature of this problem.
Det inkluderer festdekorationer, samleobjekter, puslespil med mere end 500 brikker, fyrværkeri og nye produkter såsom videospil og spillekonsoller.
Not only small businesses but also non-profit making entities such as NGOs, charities, schools, libraries and local social clubs have suffered financial loss due to these abuses.
Sikkerhed først Producenter skal sikre, at legetøj ikke er skadeligt eller farligt for børns helbred.
Future measures Parliament says that the validity of contracts should be annulled or terminated and that victims may be reimbursed.
MEP'erne vil have, at medlemslandene skal gøre brug af forsigtighedsprincippet ved implementering af loven, især hvis videnskaben ikke kan bevise om et stykke legetøj udgør en risiko.
Victims should report cases of business scams to national authorities and Member States should provide small firms with the "know-how" needed to file complaints and to ensure that victims seek appropriate advice before they pay fees demanded by business directory companies.
Danske talere Under debatten forud for afstemningen gav Christel SCHALDEMOSE (PSE, DK) udtryk for, at forslaget havde visse mangler, når det kom til antallet af tilladte parfumestoffer og duftstoffer.
Member States are urged to set up and maintain a centralised database of complaints.
Hun ville hellere have et egentligt forbud mod disse stoffer end nøjes med en udvidelse af listen, da folk med allergi er særlig hårdt ramt, når de skal færdes i det offentlige rum.
International co-ordination The report welcomes action taken by Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, the UK, and notably Austria, to try to prevent business directory companies from using misleading practices, but says that these efforts remain inefficient and need to be co-ordinated internationally MEPs regret that the EU directive on misleading advertising, which applies to business-to-business transactions, appears insufficient and asks the European Commission to report by December 2009 on the feasibility of including a blacklist of misleading practices in the directive.
Overordnet set var hun dog tilfreds med direktivet, som hun kaldte "en markant forbedring i forhold til situationen i dag."
The European Parliament also regrets that Member States appear reluctant to extend the scope of the EU directive on unfair commercial practices to business-to-business transactions, and asks the Commission to report by December 2009 on the feasibility of this measure.
Karin RIIS-JØRGENSEN (ALDE, DK) kaldte direktivet for "ganske, ganske fornuftigt." og fortsatte: "fra at ville forbyde alle kemikalier, alle duftstoffer, har vi vist alle lært, at alt ikke er sort eller hvidt.
Austria, an example of good practice The report welcomes the example set by Austria, which specifically prohibits advertising in business directories unless prospective clients are unequivocally and clearly informed that such advertisement is solely an offer for a contract against payment.
Jeg er blevet klogere på, hvad der er muligt, og hvad der gør produktionen af legetøj umulig."
The House also calls on the Commission to propose EU legislation based on the Austrian model.

Nye regler for indskudsgarantiordninger
European Parliament approves increase in bank deposit guarantee
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog onsdag en ændring af et direktiv om indskudsgarantiordninger, der gør, at bankkunder skal have en indskudsgaranti på op til €100.000.
If a European bank fails, citizens' savings should be guaranteed up to €100,000, says the European Parliament, endorsing a Commission proposal to raise the deposit guarantee to this amount.
Desuden skal der være hurtigere adgang til det indestående, ligesom der skal oprettes en mekanisme til grænseoverskridende samarbejde i tilfælde af endnu en finanskrise.
MEPs also decided that bank customers should be given faster access to their deposits in emergencies and that a mechanism be established for cross-border cooperation in the event of another economic crisis.
Målet med dette direktiv, som måske bliver godkendt kun 9 uger efter EU-Kommissionens oprindelige forslag, er "at sikre ro i finansmarkedet," som Ehler forklarede under en pressekonference i Europa-Parlamentet.
The aim of this new legislation, which may be approved in only 9 weeks since the Commission put forward its proposal, is to "bring some calm in the financial market" as the rapporteur explained during a press conference in the EP.
Aftale om at hæve dækningsniveauet EU-Kommissionens forslag om at hæve dækningsniveauet til mindst €50.000, når den nye lovgivning træder i kraft i juni, blev vedtaget af MEP'erne.
Agreement to raise the deposit guarantee level Members approved the Commission proposal to raise the level of guarantee to at least €50,000 when the new legislation enters into force in June 2009.
De mente, at det nuværende niveau på €20.000 ikke er nok.
They considered the current level of protection, set at €20,000, to be inadequate for a large number of deposits in the EU.
Den foreslåede forhøjelse til €100.000 bliver først effektiviseret ved udgangen af 2010.
The proposed increase to €100,000 will only be effective by the end of 2010, as agreed by the Parliament and the Council.
MEP'erne ændrede det oprindelige forslag, således at denne forhøjelse vil finde sted, med mindre en analyse foretaget af Kommissionen viser, at det ikke er finansielt forsvarligt for alle medlemslande.
MEPs also amended the proposal so that this increase will take effect unless a Commission impact assessment, to be ready by 31 December 2009, suggests it is not financially viable for all Member States.
Desuden bør der være mindst €1.000 tilgængelig indenfor tre dage ved nødstilfælde.
The extension of this period, up to maximum 10 days, could only be admitted in exceptional circumstances and by approval of competent authorities.
Hvis Rådet vedtager Europa-Parlamentets foreslåede tekst, skal medlemslandene indføre det senest den 30. juni 2009.
After the approval of Parliament's plenary, the Council has to formally endorse the new legislation and Member States will be required to bring it into force by 30 June 2009 at the latest.

Jutta HAUG (PSE, DE) var ordfører på budgettet for 2009, som blev godkendt torsdag ved Europa-Parlamentets samling i Strasbourg.
The rapporteur for the 2009 general EU Budget, Jutta HAUG (PES, DE), said: "For me, it was particularly important to give strong financial support to the following: firstly, policies that tackle climate change, secondly, maintaining the social dimension in the context of growth for jobs, thirdly, in measures shaping globalisation, and finally in the support of small and medium-sized enterprises.
