Ud over de kompromisændringsforslag, som man i forvejen ved, at Rådet kan gå med til, forventes emnet at få mange MEP'er til tasterne for at lave ændringsforslag.
Both institutions, it insists, should raise the situation of human rights defenders systematically in all political dialogues.
Ved redaktionens afslutning var det endelige antal ændringsforslag endnu ikke kendt, men ifølge Parlamentets interne regler kan betænkningen, hvis der er over 50 ændringsforslag, blive sendt tilbage til udvalget for yderligere behandling.
EU missions ought to “reach out to local human rights defenders in a more proactive manner”, while the Council should take steps "to facilitate the issuing of visas for all human rights defenders".
Det bliver op til MEP'erne at bestemme.
Future Council presidencies are asked to report back to Parliament on how its concerns have been taken into account.

Hvad koster de fremtidige udvidelser?
Debate on homophobia in Europe
Yderligere udvidelser af EU vil kunne udvide EU's areal med 35 % og befolkningen med 27 %.
The House will debate homophobia in Europe after hearing statements from the Commission and the Council.
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.
However, the EP Foreign Affairs Committee believes it must make further efforts in areas such as cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), reform of the judiciary and the transition to a market economy.
Det er de tørre fakta i Regionaludvalgets betænkning af Markus Pieper (PPE-DE, DE) som parlamentet skal stemme om i Strasbourg.
In an own-initiative report by Hannes SWOBODA (PES, AT), for the Foreign Affairs Committee, MEPs in the committee "congratulate the Croatian authorities for the rapid progress made so far in accession negotiations".
Betænkningen sætter fokus på konsekvenserne af de fremtidige udvidelser i forhold til samhørighedspolitikkens effektivitet.
They stress that key pieces of legislation in crucial areas such as public administration, the administration of courts and anti-corruption policy have already been adopted.
Af de ekstra 150 milliarder euro, der ville skulle i strukturfondskassen til de nye lande, ville 63 % gå til Tyrkiet.
Nevertheless, the Foreign Affairs Committee exhorts Croatia to make further efforts on several fronts.
Regionaludvalget lægger i betænkningen vægt på, at der er behov for reformer.
MEPs in the committee also point out that having "an open, competitive market economy is a fundamental requirement for EU membership".

Oprettelse af et europæisk luftrum
Simpler, cheaper cross-border payments move closer
Tirsdag morgen skal Parlamentet diskutere et forslag om at skabe et fælleseuropæisk luftrum, der udover EU-landene samt Norge og Island også skal omfatte landene på Vestbalkan.
MEPs are to vote on the legal framework designed to make cashless payments – such as card transactions, bank transfers and direct debits – simpler and cheaper with the creation of a single European payments area.
Kommissionen vil i den forbindelse komme med en meddelelse.
An informal deal with the Council means the measure should be adopted at this first reading stage, giving the banking industry the time it needs to meet its 2010 target.
Rådets forslag handler om at oprette et fælleseuropæisk luftfartsområde, som skal omfatte alle EU-landene, Island, Norge, Albanien, Bosnien-Hercegovina, Kroatien, Den Tidligere Jugoslaviske Republik Makedonien, Montenegro og FN's midlertidige administrative mission i Kosovo (UNMIK).
Although cash in the euro area has been the same since the euro notes and coins were introduced in 2002, non-cash payments still mostly rely on national systems, which can make cross-border payments slower and more expensive than national ones.
Aftalens vigtigste formål er gradvist at udvide EU's luftfartslovgivning til også at omfatte partnerlandene.
Payment card systems are also national, which means consumers cannot always use their ordinary payments cards when they travel abroad.
I aftalen er også inkluderet håndhævelse af aftalen gennem et blandet udvalg og EF-Domstolen, bilæggelse af tvister, fortolkning af bestemmelserne og overgangsordninger.
The European payments industry – banks, clearing organisations and others – have committed themselves, with the EU’s support, to changing all of this by 2010.
Der er fastsat forskellige tidspunkter for, hvornår de enkelte partnere skal vedtage og gennemføre de bestemmelser, der fastsættes i aftalen.
The single European payment area project should mean that bank transfers, direct debits and similar payments will be made through a new European system, with domestic and cross-border transactions being made in the same way at the same speed.
Det er klart, at EU’s medlemsstater allerede overholder reglerne.
It will also mean payment card systems converging on a common standard, so that cards from all over Europe will be accepted all over Europe, without extra fees or technical barriers.
Det samme gælder for Island og Norge, idet de deltager i Det Europæiske Økonomiske Samarbejdsområde.
Altogether, since the European and domestic systems will be the same, there should no longer be a need to have a second account in another country.
De associerede parter, dvs. Albanien, Bosnien-Hercegovina, Kroatien, Den Tidligere Jugoslaviske Republik Makedonien, Serbien og Montenegro og De Forenede Nationers midlertidige administrative mission i Kosovo står dog over for store udfordringer.
There will be less fuss and lower costs for businesses and consumers alike, and, while there be transitional costs for the banking sector, in the medium term they too should see lower running costs and be able to offer new products.
Det er derfor en udvikling, der vil ske gradvist og med overgangsperioder.
MEPs will consider a report from the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee, drawn up by Jean-Paul GAUZÉS (EPP-ED, FR) on the issue.
Rådet har besluttet, at aftalen skal gå i gang midlertidigt, indtil alle de berørte parter har ratificeret aftalen.
This was adopted by the committee last September, but Parliament has delayed putting it to a plenary vote in the hope of reaching a first reading agreement with the Council and completing the legislative process quickly.
Den endelige anvendelse af aftalen afhænger af, hvornår alle de 37 berørte lande ratificerer den.
This already has the political support of the Council, so if it is adopted, the legislative process will be completed at this first reading stage.

Hvordan skal pengene bruges i 2008?
Economic and monetary affairs
Forberedelserne af budgettet for 2008 er i fuld gang.
It says a lenient application of the pact could “pose a serious threat to balanced public finances and employment opportunities.”
I en betænkning af Kyösti Virrankoski (ALDE, FI) kommer Budgetudvalget med de politiske prioriteter, som Parlamentet vil lægge vægt på i budgetproceduren, som går i gang sidst i april, når Kommissionen fremlægger første udkast til EU's budget.
Looking further ahead, the committee is “alarmed” by the “dramatic increase in age-related expenditure” projected by the Commission and is concerned that six Member States are considered to face a high risk to the long term stability of their public finances, ten a medium risk and only nine a low risk.
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.
MEPs in the committee urge that reduction of public debate be accelerated during economic upturns, avoiding pro-cyclical measures, with structural and tax reforms to improve the economic performance of the Member States.
Ordføreren lægger i sin betænkning vægt på, at 2008-budgettet vil komme til verden på baggrund af 50-årsdagen for underskrivelsen af Romtraktaten med et fornyet pres på at få forfatningstraktaten bragt fremad.
They encourage governments to conduct the necessary reforms of the labour market and services sector, and to reduce the administrative burden on business.
Han understreger, at det er vigtigt i et EU med 27 medlemslande at gøre globaliseringen til en chance for de europæiske borgere.
They call for structural reforms and additional measures permanently to improve the investment climate and boost investment.
Udvalget mener at det er vigtigt, at EU's årlige politiske prioriteringer bliver fastlagt på en måde, der effektivt kan videreformidles til EU's borger.
The report warns Member States to present statistics “of a high standard” to the Commission, and urges the Commission “to check vigorously the quality of statistics reported” to them, and take penalty measures where necessary to ensure improvements.
For bedre at kunne reagere på pludselige politiske ændringer påpeger udvalget vigtigheden i at have mere luft i budgettet.
Finally, MEPs in the committee deplore the lack of policy coordination in the euro zone and draw attention to the divergence in fiscal policies of the zone’s Member States.
For at få mest ud af de begrænsede ressourcer mener udvalget også, at det er vigtigt at fordele EU’s finansielle og menneskelige ressourcer på en måde, der sikrer at EU fungerer, som det skal.
In a report drawn up by Antolin Sánchez Presedo (PES, ES), the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee says that such damages actions – by both victims and representatives of the public interest – should be facilitated.
Ud over at budgettet skal være resultatorienteret, ønsker udvalget også, at der skal være det nødvendige personale i på de rigtige poster i Kommissionen for at sikre mest valuta for pengene i forhold til de penge, der går til administration.
Damages should usually be compensatory – i.e. not exceeding the damage and losses suffered, though in the case of cartels, MEPs in the committee suggest the damages could be doubled on a discretionary basis.
Udvalget ser derfor frem til resultaterne af den screening, som er i gang i Kommissionens tjenestegrene for at give et billede af Kommissionens reelle personalebehov.
It will, says the committee, be necessary to have a mechanism for dealing with multiple small claims and judicial authorities should be able to take account of the different economic situation of the parties The Commission is asked to work with Member States to mitigate obstacles to citizens taking out cross-border cases.

Kampen mod aids
Fresh boost needed for fight against AIDS
Ifølge FN UNaids var der i 2006 22.000 nye tilfælde af hiv/aids i Vest- og Centraleuropa i 2006.
In 2006 the proportion reached 74 - nearly double - or 26,000 new cases a year, in addition to the 700,000 already infected.
Også i forhold til undervisningen i skolerne skal der gøres mere ud af at fremme en sikker seksuel adfærd.
The report reiterates that every human being has a right of access to health care.
Udvalget 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.
It argues that palliative care should be expanded, along with social integration programmes for people infected with the virus, and that sex education should be available to all citizens.

Sikkerheden til søs skal styrkes
Safer rules for innovative therapies
Sikkerheden til søs er igen på dagsordenen, når Parlamentet onsdag skal stemme om fem betænkninger om søfartssikkerhed, som er den del af den såkaldte Erika III pakke.
Scientific progress in biology, biotechnology and medicine has stimulated the development of gene and cell-based technologies to prevent or treat ailments of the human body.
Denne gang handler det om kontrol i havnene, om overvågning af skibe i nød, om undersøgelse af ulykker, om erstatningsansvar for passagertransporter og om skibsinspektioner.
A number of gene therapy or somatic cell therapy products for treating hereditary diseases, cancer, diabetes, Parkinson's disease and other degenerative conditions are currently undergoing clinical tests.
De to ulykker viste, hvor vigtigt det er, at landene i Europa arbejder sammen.
However, the legislative framework governing them is incomplete.
Derfor har Kommissionen, Rådet og Europa-Parlamentet i de forløbne år lagt meget arbejde i at styrke søfartssikkerhedspolitikken.
It would set up a centralised marketing authorisation procedure so as to improve the internal market in this sector while ensuring high health protection standards.
I løbet af knap tre år er der vedtaget to pakker.
This will help the competitiveness of EU industries by allowing them to apply for a single authorisation rather than 27.
Og det er den tredje lovgivningspakke i rækken, som Parlamentet nu tager stilling til.
The regulation does not interfere in decisions made by Member States on whether to allow the use of specific type of cells, such as embryonic stem cells.
Hele pakken består af syv forslag.
Controversial issues
To forslag om flagstater og erstatningsansvar tog Parlamentet allerede beslutning om under forrige samling i Bruxelles, og det er de sidste fem, der nu tages stilling til.
The other states that the regulation "should apply only to products made of cells, for which marketing is feasible in the near future and which do not raise major controversies".
Overvågning af trafikken til søs og nødstedte skibe
A compromise was within reach on technical aspects but not on the ethical principles which the Council and Commission wanted to exclude from the scope of the regulation.
Kommissionen ønsker desuden, at oplysningspligten for afskiberen bliver skærpet.
The draft report is calling for the efficacy and any adverse reactions of products to be monitored.
Transportudvalget er i betænkningen af ordføreren Dirk Sterckx, enig med Kommissionen i, at der skal gøres mere for at undgå ulykkerne, blandt andet ved de automatiske identifikationssystemer.
It wants the Commission to demand a system of risk management if there is any particular reason for concern.
Udvalget lægger dog vægt på, at oplysningerne ikke må kunne misbruges af andre fiskere til at finde ud af, hvor der bliver fisket.
The aim should be to "identify, characterise, prevent or minimise risks" related to these products.
Udvalget ønsker også mere tid til at implementere det automatiske identifikationssystem end Kommissionens har foreslået.
The committee also adopted several amendments seeking to strengthen the role, expertise and independence of the future Committee for Advanced Therapies, which will monitor scientific developments in this field and advise EMEA when the latter assesses applications to market new products.
Udvalget foreslår desuden en kompensationsordning til de havne, som modtager et nødlidt skib, der ikke er ordentligt forsikret, som skal dække havnens tab.
All members of the Committee for Advanced Therapies should, say MEPs, have experience in the field of advanced therapies and at least two or more should have "scientific expertise" in medical devices.
Fælles standarder for organisationer, der tjekker skibe
More incentives for smaller companies
For at undgå fejl og mangler i de procedurer, der foregår i forbindelse med skibsinspektioner, skal der fastlægges klare regler for, hvilken rolle de organisationer, der er anerkendt af EU til at foretage kontrollen, skal spille.
To boost the development of innovative therapies, the Commission has proposed reducing by 90% the fee payable to EMEA.
I en betænkning af Luis de Grandes Pascual (PPE-DE, ES) mener Transportudvalget, at der desuden skal oprettes et uafhængigt vurderingsudvalg, som skal overvåge de anerkendte organisationers arbejde.
Members of the Environment Committee, however, believe that this reduction of 90% should be granted only to smaller companies (SMEs) and that other firms should get a maximum reduction of 65%.
Udvalget opfordrer Kommissionen til i samarbejde med det europæiske agentur for Søfartsssikkerhed (EMSA) at udvikle en database, som viser skibenes risikoprofiler og indikerer alle de skibe, der skal inspiceres.
In early 2006 the European Commission put forward a draft directive on the assessment and management of flood risks, the aim being to induce Member States to coordinate better, for the purposes of risk assessment and for drawing up maps and coordinated management plans.
Der skal være en særlig inspektion af skibe som har en høj risikoprofil, af passagerskibe og olie- og kemi-tankere, som er mere en 12 år gamle.
After all, rivers know no frontiers: the Danube basin stretches through 18 European countries, including 10 EU Member States.
Under særlige omstændigheder kan skibe som over en periode på 36 måneder er blevet holdt tilbage mere end to gange blive forbudt adgang til EU-havne.
At Parliament's first reading vote on 13 June 2006, MEPs called for the threats to human health and the environmental impact of floods to be reflected better in risk management plans.
Udvalget mente også, at lodsernes rolle i forhold til at opdage mangler ombord på skibe skulle blive udvidet.
For example, polluting factories should not be built in areas liable to flooding and flood plains should be protected or even restored.
Hvis havnemyndighederne finder ud af, at et skib har defekter eller andre uregelmæssigheder, skal det straks indberettes til de ansvarlige myndigheder.
In a report by Richard SEEBER (EPP-ED, AT), MEPs in the committee want to reinstate many of Parliament's first-reading amendments.
Erstatning ved passagertransport
Taking account of climate change
Kommissionens forslag ønsker at indlemme Athen-konventionen om søtransport af passagerer og gods i EU-retten og indføre visse tilpasninger dertil, herunder navnlig til dets anvendelsesområde.
The committee also wants maps of flood-prone areas and related risks to cover coastal areas and to show any risks of environmental pollution, for example any industries that might cause problems.
Undersøgelser af søfartsulykker
And they demanded a review of any subsidies to activities which increase risks.
Det sidste forslag i Erika III-pakken er et forslag om grundlæggende principper for undersøgelse af ulykker i søtransportsektoren.
Several other proposed amendments seek to strengthen the principle of solidarity between Member States, for example stating that management plans must take account of measures taken upstream and downstream.
Transportudvalgets ordfører, Jaromir Kohlicek (GUE/NGL, CZ) mener, at det er vigtigt at der er klare fælles retningslinjer i EU for de tekniske undersøgelser efter ulykker til søs.
MEPs in the committee also flesh out the detail of these plans so that they protect wetlands more and prevent the construction of new buildings in flood zones.
Som i luftfartssektoren er målet at lære af ulykkerne, og Kommissionen opretter en elektronisk europæisk database, hvortil medlemsstaternes undersøgelsesinstanser skal indberette om ulykker og hændelser til søs i standardiseret form.
Lastly, a number of amendments are proposed seeking to bring the new text into line with the framework directive on water and with the new comitology rules, which ensure that the EP is fully involved in any technical changes made later to the legislation by committees of experts.

Decharge 2005: Medlemslandene skal tage større ansvar for EU's penge
Intellectual property: pirates and counterfeiters to feel the full weight of criminal law
Hvert år sætter Parlamentet luppen på EU's regnskaber for at tjekke, om pengene er blevet brugt rigtigt.
Parliament will be asked to approve the first EU directive aiming at harmonising national criminal law when a first-reading report on legislation imposing criminal sanctions for the infringement of intellectual property rights comes up for a plenary vote.
Det er den såkaldte dechargeprocedure.
The vote will take place on Wednesday.
Igen i år foreslår MEP'erne, at medlemslandene skal komme med erklæringer om, at EU-pengene bliver rigtigt brugt.
If approved by Parliament and the Council, the proposed directive would oblige all Member States to regard as a criminal offence any intentional infringement of an intellectual property right carried out on a commercial scale.
80 % af EU's udgifter bliver administreret i medlemsstaterne.
The deterrent measures proposed range from fines to imprisonment, depending on the gravity of the crime.
