De høje økonomiske vækstrater i de nye medlemsstater fremhæves også i betænkningen.
Decreases in disparities between countries may mask wider regional gaps The report, adopted by plenary, also notes high rates of growth in the new Member States, but said they will catch up fully "only in the medium or long term…because of the very low starting point in some of these countries".
Der var også stor opbakning til betænkningens konklusion, hvori der opstilles en række målsætninger for fremtidens regionalpolitik.
Parliament also said decreasing differences "among countries very often mask widening gaps between regions and within individual regions."
Det er konklusionen på en beslutning, som Parlamentet vedtog i torsdag, og hvori det opfordrer alle parter i konflikten til at efterleve international lov, ikke mindst på det humanitære område.
During the debate, rapporteur German Green Gisela Kallenbach stressed the need to integrate urban and regional planning into the Lisbon agenda for growth and jobs and called on EU leaders to address these issues when they meet in March.
Det opfordrer Israel til at opfylde sine internationale forpligtelser som besættelsesmagt over for Gaza.
unequal development of urban and rural areas Situation in Gaza MEPs adopted a resolution calling on Israel to end the blockade and to ensure the movement of people and goods as they consider that the policy of isolating the Gaza Strip has failed at both a political and humanitarian level.
Parlamentet gentager sit krav om en ophævelse af blokaden og en kontrolleret genåbning af grænseovergangene ind og ud af Gaza.
Gaza's economy is "paralysed" and "the lack of medicines and of fuel to run the generators in hospitals is endangering Palestinian lives," it said.
Endvidere opfordrer det til, at EU's grænsebistandsmission ved Rafah genoptages.
Parliament praised Egypt for allowing many Palestinian families access to essential goods and urged the government to continue to play an active role in maintaining peace and stability in the area.
Rådet og Kommissionen opfordres til sammen med det internationale samfund fortsat at sikre den palæstinensiske befolkning, der lever i Gaza, basal humanitær bistand med særligt henblik på behovene hos særligt udsatte grupper.
MEPs said the civilian population should be exempt from any military action and collective punishment and called for an immediate end to all acts of violence in Gaza and Southern Israel.
Menneskerettigheder Under den traditionelle menneskerettighedsdebat torsdag eftermiddag fordømte MEP´erne angrebene på de demokratisk valgte ledere i Østtimor samt forfølgelsen af aktivister fra den demokratiske opposition.
Human rights and Democracy: Belarus, East Timor, Congo During the Thursday afternoon human rights debate, MEPs condemned the recent attacks against the democratically-elected leaders in East-Timor and the harassment and prosecutions of democratic opposition and civil society activists in Belarus.

Climate package reports and week ahead in Parliament Climate package reports and week ahead in Parliament
Onsdag den 20. februar besluttede Miljøudvalget, hvilke politiske grupper der skal udpege ordførerne til de fire kommende betænkninger, der skal tage stilling til Kommissionens nye klimapakke.
On Wednesday 20 February, the Environment Committee decided which political groups will appoint rapporteurs to lead Parliament’s work on the four legislative files in the “climate change package”, put forward by the Commission in January.
Klimapakken bliver populært kaldet 20-20-20-pakken.
All measures will be jointly adopted by Parliament and Council.
Den består af forskellige lovforslag, der lægger op til, at udledningerne af CO2 i EU skal nedbringes med 20 % inden 2020.

Electronic Vote Electronic Vote
Afstemninger i Europa-Parlamentets udvalg sker som regel ved håndsoprækning.
Traditionally, European Parliament committees vote by show of hands.
Men den stigende mængde lovgivningsarbejde med mange komplicerede ændringsforslag har betydet, at man i stigende grad benytter sig af de elektroniske afstemningsmaskiner, der findes i mødelokalerne.
However, the growing volume of legislative work, with complex votes on numerous amendments, has induced committees frequently to use the electronic voting systems now installed in meeting rooms.
Parlamentets formand i Egypten
Egypt plays host to EP President Pöttering
Pöttering møder formanden for det egyptiske parlament, Ahmed Fathi Sorur
Speakers corner: Egyptian speaker Dr Fathi Sorour (l) meets EP speaker Pöttering
Som led i et to-dages besøg til Egypten mødtes Parlamentets formand, Hans-Gert Pöttering, søndag med formanden for det egyptiske parlament, Fathi Sorour.
Parliament's President Hans-Gert Pöttering used a two-day visit to Egypt to praise Cairo for liberalising its telecommunications industry and for acting to improve the position of women in society.
De to parter diskuterede flere politiske emner af fælles interesse, herunder middelhavssamarbejdet.
He also stressed the need for peaceful cohabitation between all faiths in this, the European year of intercultural dialogue.
Pöttering fik også mulighed for at hilse på de egyptiske parlamentarikere, som han holdt tale for søndag eftermiddag.
He also defended a resolution passed by MEPs in January on Egypt, which drew unflattering attention to the country's human rights record.
Under sin tale til det egyptiske parlament roste Pöttering landets indsats for kvinders rettigheder, og han fremhævede liberaliseringen af det egyptiske telemarked som et forbillede for andre lande i regionen.
President Pöttering said that the resolution was "the result of a thoughtful process of negotiations between various groups...on the basis of accurate and verified information".
Han betegnede Egypten som en "nøglepartner" for EU og understregede vigtigheden af de stærke bånd mellem Europa-Parlamentet og det egyptiske parlament.
He later called it a way for both parties to move ahead to a "wider and ongoing dialogue".
Pöttering ankerkendte Egyptens positive og fredssøgende rolle i den israelsk- palæstinensiske konflikt, og han opfordrede landet til at fortsætte sine bestræbelser for at sikre fred i Mellemøsten.
During his visit he acknowledged Egypt's role in alleviating the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip when Palestinians broke into Egypt to get food and water.

Cem Özdemir: "Vi tilbyder Centralasien en succesmodel"
Human rights, gas, democracy: Cem Özdemir MEP on Central Asia
Cem Ozdemir
Özdemir wants "virus of democracy" in Central Asia
Europa-Parlamentet ønsker at fremme demokrati, uddannelse og god regeringsførelse i Centralasien (Kasakhstan, Turkmenistan, Usbekistan, Kirgisistan og Tadsjikistan).
MEPs want the European Union to beef up measures to promote human rights, democracy, education and good governance in countries in Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan).
I en betænkning, der blev vedtaget under sidste uges parlamentssamling I Strasbourg, opfordrer MEP´erne til, at menneskerettigheder skal have en større rolle i de politiske forhandlinger med de centralasiatiske lande.
In a report adopted during the February plenary, MEPs called for human rights to carry equal weight to energy security and trade.
Vi spurgte Cem Özdemir, der er ordfører på betænkningen, hvilken EU-strategi man efter hans mening bør lægge.
We asked rapporteur and German Green MEP Cem Özdemir about his proposed strategy for this vast and often overlooked region.
Hvorfor skal EU-borgerne bekymre sig om Centralasien - en relativ fjern og ukendt region?
Mr Özdemir, why should people in the EU care about Central Asia – a relatively distant and unknown region?
På lang sigt kan vi kun opnå energisikkerhed, såfremt disse lande er stabile.
In the long-term we can only have energy security if those countries are stable countries.
Diktatur er ikke en garanti for stabilitet.
Dictatorship does not guarantee stability.
Den bedste garanti for stabilitet er, at hele befolkningen deltager - det er det, som vi kalder demokrati!
The best guarantee for stability is participation of all the citizens, and that's what we call democracy.
Det er ligesom med global opvarmning; centralasiatiske spørgsmål er universelle: At bekymre sig om Centralasien er både godt for deres befolkning og for vores befolkning her i Europa.
Like global warming, Central Asian issues are universal: caring about Central Asia is good for the people there and good for our people in Europe.
Hvile faktorer vil afgøre de fremtidige relationer mellem landene i Centralasien og EU?
What are the factors that will determine future relations between the countries of Central Asia and the EU?
Kan EU tale med én stemme?
Can the EU speak with one voice?
En fælles diplomatisk EU-tjeneste, som den der forslås i Lissabon-traktaten, vil være mere effektiv.
But an EU diplomatic service - such as the one foreseen in the Lisbon treaty - could be much more efficient.
- Flere af disse lande har et "post-Sovjet politisk lederskab", der mildest talt ikke er særlig erfaren med demokrati.
A lot of these countries have a leadership that is post-Soviet and not very experienced in democracy to say the least.
Så vores opgave er at uddanne den næste generation.
So, our business is to train the next generation.
Jeg ønsker at se den kommende generation studere på europæiske universiteter, så de kan lære os at kende, og vi kan lære dem at kende.
I want the next generation of leaders to study in European universities and to know us, and I want us to know them.
For hvis de studerer i Europa, vil de vende tilbage med "demokratiets virus".
If they study in Europe, they will come back with "the virus of democracy" and they will know that losing power does not mean the end of the world, that you can always come back at the next election.
De vil forstå, at taber man magten, er det ikke verdens undergang, da der altid er mulighed for et come back ved det næste valg.
We have to encourage all those who have more democracy - like Kyrgyzstan - and who want reforms.
Hvad vil du sige til dem, der siger, at demokrati kun har medført ustabilitet i Kirgisistan, og at Centralasien endnu ikke er parat til demokrati?
What would you say to those claiming that democracy only brought instability into Kyrgyzstan and that Central Asia is not ready for democracy?
- I de sidste 15 år har vi sagt, at det er "post-sovjet æraen".
For the past 15 years we have said "this is a post-Soviet era".
Men vi nu i "post post-sovjet æraen".
But now we are in the "post-post Soviet era".
I hvor mange år vil de blive ved med at fortælle os, at de befinder sig i en særlig situation?
How many more years are they going to tell us that they have a specific situation?
Selv hvis valgene havde været retfærdige i et land som Tajikistan, ville præsidenten stadigvæk have vundet - måske med 70 %.
In a country like Kazakhstan, had the elections been fair, the President would have still won - maybe with 70%.
Lederne i disse lande har råd til at være mere generøse overfor oppositionen og de uafhængige medier.
So, the leaders of these countries can afford to be more generous towards the opposition and the independent media.
Er der en risiko for, at regionens store energipotentiale kan skubbe bekymringer for anvendelse af tortut og menneskerettighedskrænkelser i baggrunden?
Is there a risk that the immense energy potential of the region could push concerns over torture and other violations of human rights into second place?
- Vi taler altid om alle fem centralasiatiske lande, når det drejer sig om energi, men i virkeligheden er der kun tale om to lande: Turkmenistan og Kasakhstan.
We always speak about 5 Central Asian countries and energy but in reality it is 2: Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan.
I et land som Tadsjikistan er der store energiproblemer - folk fryser.
In a country like Tajikistan there are big energy problems: people are freezing.
Rusland og Kina hjælper også Centralasien.
Russia and China are also helping Central Asia.
Men deres hjælp følger logikken: "Vi giver jer penge, I giver os energi".
But their help is "we give you money, we want your energy".
- Det vi tilbyder Centralasien er teknologisk udveksling, miljømæssig viden, verdens bedste universiteter og et ægte venskab, der ikke blot handler om at få adgang til energiressourcer.
What we offer to Central Asia is technological exchange, environmental knowledge, the best universities in the world, pure friendship which goes beyond just having energy resources.
Jeg tror, at det på lang sigt er den bedste strategi.
I believe in the long-term that will pay off.
Vi ved hvad der skal til, så hvorfor kopierer I ikke en succesmodel, der virker?
So, why don't you copy a successful model which has worked?
Det er vores tilbud".
That's our offer."

Den nye 2-euromindemønt i omløb fra 2009
New €2 commemorative coin chosen - by you!
Afstemningen sluttede den 22. februar.
The new €2 coin (middle) with other entries
Vinder-designet vil være at finde på omkring 90 millioner 2-euromønter fra januar 2009.
A Europe-wide online poll to select a design for a commemorative €2 coin has chosen a design by Greek sculptor George Stamatopoulos.
Afstemningen om den nye mønt
His design symbolises the currency as the latest step in a long history of trade within and outside Europe.
EU's borgere har valgt design ‘2’ til 2-euromindemønten i anledning af Den Økonomiske og Monetære Unions 10-årsdag.
The winning design will be on 90 million coins minted and put into circulation next year to mark the 10th anniversary of the completion of economic and monetary union (EMU).
41.48 % ud af i alt 141.675 afgivne stemmer stemte på det vindende design.
The winning design got 40% of the 141,000 votes cast between 31 January and 22 February.
Afstemningen fandt sted fra den 31. januar til den 22. februar 2008.
2nd Europe wide €2 special coin
Den nye mønt er blot den anden fællesmønt, der repræsenterer hele euro-området.
The new coin will be the second commemorative coin to be issued across the whole euro zone.
Alle medlemslande i Eurosystemet har lov til én gang om året at udstede en 2-euro-erindringsmønt.
Each member of the 15-member euro zone can issue one commemorative €2 coin a year.
Disse mønter har samme karakteristika, egenskaber og fælles side som de almindelige 2-euromønter.
So far nine countries have done so.
Det der adskiller dem fra de almindelige 2-euromønter, er erindringsmotivet på den nationale side.
The euro is also used in Vatican City, San Marino and Monaco.
Kun 2-euromønter må udsendes som erindringsmønter.
Given their relative scarcity coins from these states are much sought after by collectors.
Næste i rækken: Slovenien
Slovakia next in line
Det forventes, at Slovenien indtræder i eurofælleskabet den 1. januar 2009.
Slovakia is expected to join the euro next, as the beginning of 2009.
Samlere fra hele Europa venter allerede i spænding for at se de nye møntdesigns.
A new country will bring new euros to be collected.

Arseniy Yatsenyuk: Ukrainsk enighed om europæisk integration
Ukrainian Speaker Arseniy Yatsenyuk upbeat on European integration
Interview med Arseniy Yatsenyuk
Ukraine's Speaker Arseniy Yatsenyuk
Ukraine er endnu ikke parat til at søge om EU-medlemskab, men landet forventer støtte fra Europa-Parlamentet, når tiden er inde, siger formanden for det ukrainske parlament, Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
Ukraine may not be ready to apply for member of the European Union, but it does expect support from MEPs when the time comes.
Vi fik mulighed for at stille parlamentsformanden et par spørgsmål forud for hans deltagelse i Det Parlamentariske Samarbejdsudvalg EU-Ukraine.
That was the message Ukraine's speaker Arseniy Yatsenyuk delivered to us in a brief interview on Tuesday, ahead of a meeting of the EU-Ukraine Parliamentary Cooperation Committee.
Hvordan ser den ukrainske befolkning på europæisk integration, og hvordan vil du sælge Europa til vælgerne?
How do you “sell” Europe to the voters?
- I Ukraine har vi meget store skillelinier i samfundet, f.eks. når det drejer sig om NATO eller sprogspørgsmålet.
In Ukraine, we have an enormous amount of discrepancies in society, for example on the question of whether to join NATO or the language issue (the opposition is pushing for a referendum on granting Russian official status as a national language, in addition to Ukrainian).
Men når det kommer til de europæiske aspirationer, er der ingen slinger i valsen.
But regarding European aspirations, no difference at all exists.
Mere end 60 % af den ukrainske befolkning er europæisk orienteret.
More than 60% of the Ukrainian people are Europe oriented, so there is no division about this in our society.
Derfor bør den overordnede målsætning for regeringen og politikerne være at bringe Ukraine nærmere Den Europæiske Union.
Right now the main target for the government and the politicians should therefore be to bring Ukraine closer to the European Union.
Vi spørger ikke om medlemskab på nuværende tidspunkt, da vi ved, at det er en lang og kompliceret proces.
We do not ask for membership yet, it is clear this is a long and complicated process.
