natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
Parlamentet er ligeledes blevet bedt om enten at godkende eller afvise en aftale om overførsel af flypassagerers data til USA og Australien.
Parliament has also been asked to approve or reject an agreement on the transfer of air passenger data to the USA and Australia.
Den 6. maj vil Parlamentet stemme om et udkast til en resolution, som ventes at foreslå en udsættelse af afstemningen, således at der kan udarbejdes en standardmodel for en Passenger Name Record (PNR), der opfylder Parlamentets krav til databeskyttelse.
On 6 May MEPs will vote on a draft resolution which is expected to propose postponing the vote so that a standard Passenger Name Record (PNR) file model can be devised that meets Parliament's demands on data protection.
PNR-oplysninger, der oprindeligt var indsamlet til kommercielle formål bliver i stigende grad brugt til at bekæmpe kriminalitet.
PNR data, which was initially gathered for commercial purposes, is increasingly being used to combat crime.
Under onsdagens samling meddelte Kommissæren for Indre Anliggender Cecilia Malmström, at hun ville foreslå en PNR-pakke, herunder en "global ekstern PNR-strategi", som beskriver de generelle krav til aftaler med tredjelande, stiller forslag om genforhandlinger af aftalerne med USA, Australien og Canada samt skitserer et nyt europæisk PNR-system.
At the plenary debate on Wednesday Home Affairs Commissioner Cecilia Malmström announced that she would propose a "PNR package" including "a global external PNR strategy", setting out the general requirements for agreements with third countries as well as proposals for renegotiating agreements with the US, Australia and Canada, and for a new European PNR system.
Ordfører Sophia IN 'T VELD (ALDE, Holland) bemærkede, at selvom Parlamentet altid har været meget kritisk over for brugen af og overførsler af PNR-oplysninger, vil en afvisning af endnu en aftale skabe juridisk usikkerhed og praktiske vanskeligheder for borgere og luftfartsselskaber.
Rapporteur Sophia in 't Veld (ALDE, NL) noted that although Parliament had always been highly critical of the use and transfer of PNR data, rejecting two agreements would create legal uncertainty and practical difficulties for citizens and carriers.
Hun talte i stedet for at udsætte afstemningen og opfordrede Kommissionen til at fremlægge sin nye PNR-pakke inden sommerferien.
Instead, she advocated suspending the vote, and urged the Commission to table this new "PNR package" before the summer break.
Axel VOSS (EPP, Tyskland) talte ligeledes til fordel for en udsættelse af afstemningen "for at tage hensyn til vores bekymringer angående databeskyttelse".
Axel Voss (EPP, DE) also spoke in favour of postponing the vote "to take into account our concerns on data protection".
Birgit SIPPEL (S&D, Tyskland) håbede, at en række spørgsmål, fx om typen af data eller risikoen for profilering, kan afklares og et forhandlingsmandat udarbejdes inden sommerferien.
Birgit Sippel (S&D, DE) hoped that a series of issues -such as the nature of data or the risk of profiling- could be clarified, and a negotiating mandate drawn up, before the summer break.
Jan Philipp ALBRECHT (De Grønne, Tyskland) advarede om, at ukontrolleret adgang til PNR-oplysninger i hele verden allerede ville være en overskridelse af forfatningsmæssige rettigheder.
Jan Philipp Albrecht (Greens/EFA, DE) warned that uncontrolled access to PNR data worldwide was already breaching constitutional rights.
Ryszard CZARNERCKI (ECR, Polen) erklærede sig enig og tilføjede: "Også de i Europa-Parlamentet, som går ind for dataoverførsler, har klaget over den måde, som Rådet behandlede dem på".
Ryszard Czarnercki (ECR, PL) agreed and added: "even those in the European Parliament who are in favour of data transfer were complaining about the way the Council treated them".
Endelig sagde Eva-Britt Svensson (GUE, Sverige), at brugen af PNR undertiden afgør, hvem der har ret til at flyve, og hvem der ikke har og tilføjede, at dette kunne krænke grundlæggende menneskerettigheder.
Finally, Eva-Britt Svensson (GUE/NGL, SE) said that the use of PNR sometimes determines who has the right to fly and who does not, adding that this could infringe fundamental human rights.
MEP'erne kræver, at Kommissionens forslag herom skal vedtages så hurtigt som muligt.
Almost €350 billion is available to European countries over six years, but thus far just over a quarter of the money has been allocated.
Proceduren for tildeling af EU-midler til regionale udviklingsprojekter bør forenkles og gøres mere fleksibel, således at de europæiske lande, der er hårdest ramt af krisen, får hurtigere adgang til disse midler.
For this reason and because of the protracted economic crisis MEPs want access to be made easier and applications to made more flexible.
MEP'erne opfordrer til, at de nye regler skal træde i kraft så hurtigt som muligt.
Covered are the EU Social Fund, Regional Development Fund and the Cohesion Fund.
For at imødekomme den økonomiske krise, er EU-institutionerne enige om at fremskynde strømmen af midler til regionale udviklingsprojekter og forenkle strukturfondenes gennemførelsesbestemmelser.
The releasing of large amounts of money to help fund energy and environment projects rural housing and similar projects is seen as particularly crucial as many governments are cutting back spending due to the crisis.
De lande, der er berettiget til forhøjet forskud fra Den Europæiske Socialfond og Samhørighedsfonden er Rumænien, Ungarn, Estland, Letland og Litauen.
In addition the allocation of more funds to European countries hit hardest by the crisis such as the Baltic States, Hungary and Romania is envisaged.
Medlemsstaterne er i øjeblikket forpligtet til at tilbagebetale eventuelle midler, de har ikke brugt inden for to år efter godkendelsen af deres anmodning om finansiering.
Parliament's rapporteur for this issue is Bulgarian Socialist Evgeni Kirilov who earlier told the Committee that "we should not forget the purpose of these amendments: to help member states to benefit more from cohesion policy in this crucial period".
Årsagen til dette er de bureaukratiske og komplicerede procedurer.
Given the airspace closures MEPs decided not to hold votes as many could not attend.
Endelig vil det kun være projekter på mere end 50 millioner euro, der skal godkendes af Europa-Kommissionen.
Eyjafjallajökull - the new tongue-twisting term for an unspeakable and unprecedented obstacle has joined European dictionary.
Hvert minut tæller
The House held an ad hoc debate to tackle the issue.
Europa-Parlamentet vil stemme om forslaget i begyndelsen af maj og håber, at Rådet vil stemme før september.
SWIFT - Questions of citizens' privacy and the responsibility of those handling the data must be resolved before Parliament approves the next EU-US agreement on financial data transfers via the SWIFT network, argued many MEPs in a debate on Wednesday.
"Det afgørende er, at de fem medlemmer, der har brug for støtte nu, også modtager den så hurtigt som muligt," sagde Ramona Nicole Mănescu (Alliancen af Liberale og Demokrater, RO).
The key points are transfers of "bulk data" and redress where personal data is misused.
Den bulgarske ordfører Evgeni Kirilov (S & D) bemærkede: "Vi må ikke glemme formålet med disse ændringer: at hjælpe medlemsstaterne til at drage større fordel af samhørighedspolitikken i denne afgørende periode".
Simplified rules and flexible procedures for the disbursement and spending of EU structural funding by the member states, were debated in Strasbourg and should be approved during the May session in Brussels.
Samtidig er der ingen kontrol med, at projekterne lever op til EU's miljølovgivning."
Ms Lynne thanked the MEPs for their support, saying that breast cancer is still the leading cause of death for women 35 to 59.
Cornelia Ernst (GUE/NGL, DE) sagde: "Vi glæder os over enhver forenkling af reglerne og mener, at reformen bør gennemføres snarest muligt."
The scheduled vote on whether to give EU institutions discharge for their 2008 spending was postponed until the next plenary session, 5-6 May.
Kay Swinburne (ECR, UK) mente, at forordningen har et "prisværdigt mål", men "vi må sikre, at en lempelse af kriterierne ikke mindsker ansvarligheden."
The Budgetary Control Committee proposed discharge for all EU institutions but the European Police College.

MEP´ere drøfter fremtidsperspektiverne for den fælles landbrugspolitik
Future of Europe's farming policy under the spotlight
Medlemmerne af Parlamentets landbrugsudvalg drøftede for nylig fremtidsperspektiverne for den fælles landbrugspolitik med landbrugskommissær Dacian Ciolos.
The number of farms however has doubled with the accession of the 12 new EU countries and the CAP faces new challenges regarding climate change and the economic crisis.
Den fælles landbrugspolitik
The CAP was reformed in 2003 and a subsequent "Health Check" performed in 2008.
Landbrugspolitikken er en af EU's vigtigste politikker, og landbrugsudgifterne tegner sig for ca. 45 % af EU's budget.
The EP will express its views by next summer, just before the European Commission is due to present its proposals.
Landbrugspolitikken er en af de vigtigste politikker for den europæiske integration.
It is one of the key policies of European integration and is necessary for employment, green growth and climate change".
Den fælles landbrugspolitik er en nødvendig forudsætning for beskæftigelse, grøn vækst og bekæmpelse af klimaændringer", sagde den rumænske landbrugskommissær, Dacian Ciolos, da han den 12. april talte til medlemmerne af landbrugsudvalget.
He went on to warn however that "there's a real lack of communication towards the citizens.
"En Eurobarometer-undersøgelse viser, at mere end 99 % af de europæiske borgere mener, at landbruget er af afgørende betydning for Europas fremtid.
A Eurobarometer survey shows that more than 99% of citizens believe agriculture is vital for the European future.
Men kun en ud af tre borgere har hørt om den fælles landbrugspolitik."
But only one out of three citizens has heard about the CAP".
"Hvordan sikrer vi, at forbrugerne får adgang til de bedste fødevarer?
Some of the key questions he pointed out were: "How can we make sure consumers get top quality food?
Tyske Albert Dess (EPP) mente, at tiden var inde til at opprioritere landruget på den politiske dagsorden: "Landbruget er ansvarlig for en stor del af vores fælles kulturarv.
German MEP Albert Dess of the centre right European People's Party told the hearing that "agriculture is responsible for a great amount of cultural heritage.
At skaffe mad på bordet til 500 millioner EU-borgere er et enormt ansvar, der bør prioriteres".
Putting food on the table of 500 million EU citizens also is a huge responsibility and therefore should be a priority".
"Mange landmænd giver op.
Portuguese Socialist Luis Manuel Capoulas Santos said that "we have to meet the expectations of our voters.
Vi kan se det i flere og flere landdistrikter i Europa, hvor landsbyerne har mistet deres eksistensgrundlag.
We have to be in a position to answer questions.
De store aktører profiterer meget mere end de små landbrug på den fælles landbrugspolitik - det til trods for, at det er de små landbrug, der skaber de fleste job i landbrugssektoren.
Real streamlining and simplification is needed".
Landbruget skal være grønnere", fastslog tyske Martin Häusling fra Parlamentets grønne gruppe.
Green MEP Martin Häusling noted that "many farmers give up, we can see this in several rural areas in Europe where villages have lost their reason to exist.
Den portugisiske socialdemokrat Capoulas Santos mente, at tiden var inde til at forenkle det komplekse regelsæt, der styrer den fælles landbrugspolitik.
Major operators are profiting a lot more than small farms from the CAP, although most jobs in the agriculture sector are created by small farms.
Biodiversitet og miljømæssig beskyttelse ( miljøvenlige landbrugsforanstaltninger)
British Liberal George Lyon in his draft report sets out the future of the CAP after 2013.
Fødevaresikkerhed og fair handel ( konkurrenceevne, fødevaresikkerhed, rimelig indkomststøtte)
The rising cost of energy and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions however could act as major constraints to increased production.
Landbrug i hele Europa ( landbrugsvirksomhed i EU, lokal produktion )
Mr Lyon told the hearing: "The impact of climate change will close off the option of bringing large tracts of extra land into production.
"Klimaændringerne vil også medføre vandmangel og tørke, som igen vil modvirke øget produktion.
Climate change will also cause water shortages and droughts which again will act as a break on increasing production."
Parlamentet stemmer om Lyons betænkning i juli.
The Lyon report will be discussed and voted in Committee in June and in Plenary in July.
Landbrug i EU
Farming in Europe
47 % af EU´s samlede areal anvendes til landbrug
Agriculture occupies 47% of the entire territory of the EU
Indtægterne fra landbrugssektoren faldt med 12.2 % fra 2008 til 2009
14.5 million agricultural holdings generate over €355 billion in production

Borgerinitiativet skal gøre EU mere demokratisk
1 million signatures for popular democracy
Borgerinitiativet: Vejen til direkte demokrati ©BELGA_WESTEND61_Michael Bader Kommissionens forslag til forordning om Borgerinitiativet blev fremlagt den 31. marts 2010 Mindst 9 lande skal være repræsenteret Lissabontraktaten indeholder bestemmelsen om det europæiske borgerinitiativ, der giver EU’s borgere mulighed for at opfordre Kommissionen til at fremsætte lovforslag.
Popular democracy will increasingly play a role ©BELGA_WESTEND61_Michael Bader 9 countries must be represented MEPs give cautious welcome The much heralded "citizens initiative" to change EU laws has been given a cautious welcome by MEPs.
Det kræver dog, at mindst 1 million EU-borgere støtter initiativet, og at disse borgere kommer fra ”et betydeligt antal" medlemslande.
Under the scheme - a major innovation of the Lisbon treaty - a million people can back a plan to introduce European legislation.
Kommissionen har for nylig konkretiseret, hvordan bestemmelsen skal virke i praksis.
The European Commission has recently fleshed out how it will work.
Kommissionen vil etablere et system til registrering af borgerinitiativer, hvor Kommissionen samtidig forpligtes til at give sit syn på, om et forslag falder inden for Kommissionens beføjelser, når en tredjedel af kravene
However, striking a note of caution he said that "any citizen planning to launch an initiative would be well advised to first get the Commission's informal opinion as to the viability and eligibility of the specific proposal".
Medlemsstaterne forpligtes til inden for tre måneder at verificere underskrifterne i henhold til det enkelte lands praksis.
He went on to say that "I would warn though against raising expectations of the EU citizens too high in this regard.
Der indskrives en revisionsklausul i forordningen på fem år, hvorefter Kommissionen vil rapportere om implementeringen.
It will still be a complicated procedure, as it is in Member States".
"Et afbalanceret forslag"
Citizens initiative
Britiske Andrew Duff (ALDE) mener, at Kommissionen har fundet en god balance, der sikrer mere direkte demokrati, uden at underminere den institutionelle struktur.
1 million signatures (by paper or electronically)
Polske Rafał Trzaskowski (EPP) siger: "Forslaget bringer os tættere på en realisering af en af Lissabon traktatens vigtigste nyskabelser.
9 of 27 EU States must be represented
Jeg vil dog gerne advare imod, at der rejses for høje forventninger blandt EU´s borgere.
Signatures proportionate to size of country e.g. 72,000 signatures will be needed from Germany, 24,750 from Romania, 4,500 each from Malta
Der er stadig tale om en kompliceret procedure."

MEP´ere drøfter læren fra Grækenland
Learning the lessons from Greece
Gerald Corrigan fra Goldman Sachs Bank deltog i høringen Eurozonens finansministre enedes tidligere på ugen om at tilbyde Grækenland en økonomisk hjælpepakke, der skal hjælpe landet med at afdrage på dets milliardgæld.
Gerald Corrigan, chairman of Goldman Sachs Bank makes his point After Eurozone Finance Ministers agreed measures to address Greece’s financial woes last Sunday, MEPs quizzed leading economic figures, including the chairman of Goldman Sachs - former financial advisors to the Greek government - on how to strengthen EU economic governance and improve reporting of national statistics.
EU-kommissær Olli Rehn opfordrede onsdag til, at EU opretter en permanent krisehåndteringsmekanisme, der udstikker konkrete retningslinjer, for hvordan EU-landene skal forholde sig til lande, der ikke lever op til deres forpligtigelser.
MEPs quizzed Olli Rehn, European Commissioner for economic and monetary affairs, Walter Radermacher, Director-General of Eurostat, the EU's official statistical office, Gerald Corrigan, chairman of Goldman Sachs Bank USA, and Richard Metcalfe, Head of global policy at the International Swaps and Derivatives Association.
Eurozonens 16 finansministre blev i mandags enige om en økonomisk hjælpepakke, der skal hjælpe Grækenland med at afdrage på landets enorme gæld.
On April 11 European governments offered debt-burdened Greece a rescue package worth as much as 45 billion euros at below-market interest rates in an effort to restore confidence in the euro.
Pakken har en værdi af 30 milliarder euro (223 milliarder kroner) alene for 2010.
Eurozone countries would offer 30 billion euros in three-year loans in 2010 at around 5 percent.
Parlamentets Udvalg om Økonomiske og Monetære Anliggender var onsdag den 14. april vært for en høring, der satte fokus på den økonomiske krise i Grækenland.
Since he started his mandate on 10 February, Commissioner Olli Rehn told MEPs, he has spent "90 percent of his time" dealing with the Greek crisis.
EU's kommissær for økonomiske og monetære anliggender, finske Olli Rehn, fortalte indledningsvist, at Grækenland er godt på vej til at opfylde målsætningen om at nedbringe landets budgetunderskud med 4 % i år.
In his introductory speech, Mr Rehn said Greece was now on track to meet the 4 percent target of deficit reduction and the EU's governance system was undergoing a series of reforms, reducing the risk of similar crises in future.
Rehn mente, at der bør indføres strengere sanktioner over for lande, som ikke lever op til stabilitet og vækstpagtens regler om budgetdisciplin.
Furthermore he underlined the need to set up a permanent crisis resolution mechanism, “making it so unattractive that no country will want to use it”.
Han opfordrede til, at EU opretter en permanent krisehåndteringsmekanisme, der udstikker konkrete retningslinjer, for hvordan EU-landene skal forholde sig til lande, der ikke lever op til deres forpligtigelser.
He added that the European Commission will present its concrete proposals to that end mid-May.
Den belgiske MEP Derk Jan Eppink (ECR) ville gerne vide, om Kommissionen havde planer om at indføre en juridisk procedure, der ville gøre det muligt at udvise lande fra euro-samarbejdet, såfremt de ikke lever op til de interne regler.
Belgian MEP Derk Jan Eppink of the Europe of Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) wanted to know if the Commission planned to introduce a legal procedure to expel countries that kept breaching the stability and growth pact.
"Dette ville kræve en traktatændring", svarede Rehn, der ikke håbede, at det nogensinde ville blive et aktuelt spørgsmål.
"This would require a treaty change" answered Mr Rehn, adding that he had "certain reservations as regards the option of force to exit" as he thought it was not in line with the philosophy of the EU Founding Fathers.
Walter Radermacher, direktør for EU´s statistiske kontor Eurostat, fortalte, at samarbejdet med de græske statistiske myndigheder var blevet væsentligt forbedret gennem de seneste måneder.
Walter Radermacher, Director-General of Eurostat: “It has been clear that the Greek government has been using certain financial derivatives for the purpose of artificially reducing its debt and has not reported them to Eurostat”.
Han tilføjede, at nye EU-regler vil give Eurostat bedre adgang til relevant information om medlemsstaternes økonomiske nøgletal.
A Commission proposal opens the possibility for Eurostat to access relevant sources of information such as public accounts.
Flere MEP´ere mente, at der burde indføres yderligere overvågningsforanstaltninger og sanktioner mod finansielle spekulanter.
British Member Kay Swinburne asked on whose doorstep did the responsibility lie for the use of the financial products that were used.
Folk er nødt til at tage risici.
People have to take risks.
Men i øjeblikket oplever vi "dårlig spekulation".
But there is currently bad speculation.
