Mandagens høringer: Tajani og Šefčovič
Late-night grill: Round up of Tajani and Šefčovič hearings
Tajani mente, at den økonomiske krise udgør en god mulighed for at intensivere EU's fokus på innovation, mens Šefčovič opfordrede til et tættere institutionelt samarbejde.
Tajani pledged to support small businesses and Šefčovič the need to get the citizens' initiative up and running and cooperate better with national parliaments.
Tajani: SMV´er udgør rygraden i europæisk industri
Tajani pledges support for small and medium size business
Tanjani indledte med at fastslå, at hans overordnede politiske prioritet bliver at lægge en ny retning for europæisk erhvervspolitik indenfor rammerne af EU´s 2020-strategi.
Antonio Tajani faced three hours of questions from the Industry, Research and Energy Committee in Strasbourg Monday evening.
Han understregede nødvendigheden af at fremme den økonomiske vækst i kølevandet på den finansielle krise.
He told MEPs that the relaunch of industry in Europe should be done within the framework of the Commission's "2020" jobs and growth strategy (the successor to the Lisbon strategy).
Endelig pegede Tajani på vigtigheden af at finde den rette balance mellem industriens og miljøets behov.
He also promised to act to cut red tape.
"Målsætningen er at forbedre EU´s konkurrenceevne gennem bæredygtig vækst", konkluderede Tanjani.
Referring to the relationship between industry and environment Mr Tajani called for a "mutually convenient marriage" between the two for a more sustainable growth: "The fight against climate change is a economic and ethical task" he told MEPs.

He pointed out that the EU's rule for environmental and social standards are stricter than many others.
Det var nogle af de prioritetsområder, som den indstillede slovakiske kommissær for institutionelle anliggender valgte at fremhæve i sine indledende bemærkninger.
Speaking to the Constitutional Affairs Committee former Slovak diplomat Maroš Šefčovič outlined his priorities for the post of inter-institutional relations and administration.
Flere af udvalgsmedlemmerne ønskede at høre nærmere om, hvordan Kommissionen havde tænkt sig at anvende det såkaldte borgerinitiativ i praksis.
Taking questions from MEPs Mr Šefčovič on how the citizens' initiative (where 1 million people can call for a change in EU law) and would work in practice he said his department aim to present plans in spring so that people could start using it by December this year.
Maroš Šefčovi kunne oplyse, at Kommissionen planlægger at fremlægge et udkast i det tidlige forår, således at borgerne kan brug af det nye værktøj inden udgangen af året.
He was also asked about his position on whether he would support dropping European Parliament sessions in Strasbourg and keeping them in Brussels.
Maroš Šefčovi fortalte også, at han ikke agter at lukke op for debatten om Europa-Parlamentets hjemsted: "Kommissionens opgave er at være traktatens vogter, og traktaten siger nu engang, at Europa-Parlamentet har sit sæde i Strasbourg".
Šefčovič replied that the role of the Commission is "guardian of the EU treaties" and at present the treaties say the seat of the parliament is Strasbourg.
Der blev også spurgt til den kommende kommissærs udtalelse fra 2005, hvor han efter sigende skulle have sagt, at romaerne udnyttede det slovakiske velfærdssystem.
He was also challenged on alleged remarks he had make in 2005 saying that Roma were "exploiters of the Slovak welfare system".
Šefčovi svarede, at sætningen var taget ud af en sammenhæng.
Mr Šefčovič did not remember the exact quote and said it had been taken out of context: "I did not mean to offend anybody.
"Jeg havde ikke til hensigt at fornærme nogen.
If I caused offence, I really regret it."
Hvis jeg fornærmede nogen, er jeg virkelig ked af det".
He went on to point to the work he had done with the Roma community and NGO's since that time.

Asked about reform to voting for the European Parliament he said that he supported transnational lists and 2-day elections in May instead of four days in June as is the practice now.

Tirsdagens høringer: Damanak og Malmström
Tuesday's hearings: Malmström and Damanaki
Malmström og Damanaki Tirsdag morgen var der to høringer på programmet.
The News: Malmström stands firm - Damanaki fishes for approval - Jeleva withdraws candidacy On Tuesday morning MEPs questioned Swedish nominee Cecilia Malmström and Greek Maria Damanaki.
Damanaki: en afbalanceret reform af den fælles fiskeripolitik
Malmström: Fight against terror a priority
I sine indledende bemærkninger understregede hun behovet for et bæredygtigt fiskeri.
Turning to terrorism she told the Civil Liberties Committee that: "The fight against terrorism will be one of my priorities...we should review all the tools and mechanisms.
Damanaki udtrykte tilfredshed med, at Parlamentet efter Lissabontraktatens ikrafttrædelse har fået langt større indflydelse på EU´s fiskeripolitik.
Perhaps there is duplication, or conversely something missing.
Hun sagde, at den igangværende reform af fiskeripolitikken vil føre til større effektivitet og en bedre balance mellem fiskernes, forbrugernes og turistindustriens interesser.
We must strive to respect the integrity, the principle of proportionality and human rights ".
Hun lovede at undersøge, hvorvidt Den Europæiske Socialfond kan yde bistand til de fiskere, som måtte blive særligt hårdt ramt af reformen.
The Swedish European Affairs Minister stressed her determination to get a favourable agreement in the EU on the transfer of SWIFT data.
Endelig understregede hun vigtigheden af at bekæmpe pirateri rettet mod den europæiske fiskerflåde.
Concerning organised crime and in particular criminality by the Mafia she said she would work with Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding as such problems "were not only Italian but European.
Du kan nedenfor læse Pressetjenestens fulde dækning af høringen.
Organised crime knows no frontiers" she told MEPs.
Malmström: Behov for en mere human indvandringspolitik
Maria Damanaki: "striking the right balance"
Svenske Cecilia Malmström kan blive den første kommissær, hvis portefølje udelukkende er dedikeret til indre anliggender.
Ms Damanaki told MEPs that "there is drastic overfishing".
Hun lovede under tirsdagens høring at sætte fokus på menneskerettigheder, beskyttelse af EU´s ydre grænser og håndhævelse af lov og orden.
To reduce it without striking a blow to fishing communities, she proposed modernisation of the resources, for example equipping vessels with selective gear that helps to eliminate discards.
"Jeg har arbejdet med menneskerettigheder i hele mit liv.
She welcomed the fact that under Lisbon Treaty fisheries will be subject to the ordinary legislative procedure, giving an even greater role for the European Parliament.
Jeg ville ikke have taget dette job, hvis jeg ikke var overbevist om, at jeg kunne sætte et stærkt præg på de grundlæggende rettigheder", sagde Malmström, som mente, at Kommissionen bør sikre en mere human indvandringspolitik, der respekterer asylansøgernes rettigheder.
She said that the ongoing reform of the Common Fisheries Policy will look for more efficiency by "striking the right balance", among the interests of consumers, fishermen, industry, tourism and related activities.
Det skulle blandt andet ske gennem en styrket kommunikationsindsats samt mere læsevenlige kommissionsforslag.
Ms Damanaki agreed on the need to develop the aquaculture sector "as much as we can", given that the EU imports more fish than it produces.
Du kan nedenfor læse Pressetjenestens fulde dækning af høringen.
She also stressed the importance of fighting piracy, saying that "the EU has to make sure that its vessels can fish securely, especially off the Somali coast".

De næste skridt i høringsproceduren
Hearings for new Commission - what's next?
Video om kommissærhøringerne De politiske gruppeledere besluttede torsdag den 21. januar at godkende 25 af de indstillede kommissærer.
With the 26 parliamentary hearings for the new European Commission completed it was just the Bulgarian candidate, Rumiana Jeleva, who was forced to withdraw.
Den endelige afstemning om det samlede kommissærkollegium ventes at finde sted tirsdag den 9. februar.
These changes push back the approval vote on the whole Commission for 9 February.
Men Parlamentet mangler stadig at afholde en høring med den nye bulgarske kandidat, Kristalina Georgieva.
Ms Jeleva was forced to withdraw in the face of political pressure both about her uncertain grasp of the Humanitarian aid portfolio and due to repeated questions by certain MEPs about her business activities and financial dealings.
Denne høring finder sted tirsdag den 3. februar
A combination of the two was enough to force Ms Jeleva to withdraw.
Parlamentets Formandskonference mødes onsdag den 4. februar, hvor de formodentligt vil give "grønt lys" til det nye kommissærkollegium.
Joseph Daul, the head of the European People's Party which had backed Ms Jeleva called the financial allegations "unsubstantiated calumnies".
Den nye Kommission ventes at kunne påbegynde sit arbejde onsdag den 10. februar.
If a successful vote is held on the whole Commission by MEPs on 9 February, the new "Barroso II" executive could take office on 10 February so that EC is operational for the informal meeting of Heads of State and Government on 11 February.

Debat om Iran: menneskerettigheder, ytringsfrihed og atomprogram
Iran debate: MEPs condemn regime's nuclear programme & dissent crackdown
Mange unge iranere er stærkt kritiske overfor den iranske regering Tirsdag drøftede MEP'erne situationen i Iran med EU´s repræsentant for udenrigsanliggender - og sikkerhedspolitik, Catherine Ashton.
MEPs condemned the crackdown on protestors and called for human rights to be respected In a charged and emotive debate on Iran the regime's nuclear programme and the crackdown on political dissent drew criticism from all sides.
De kom under debatten ind på de mange krænkelser af menneskerettighederne samt landets omstridte atomprogram.
Opening the debate the EU's new foreign affairs chief, Catherine Ashton, told the House in Strasbourg that Iran's nuclear programme was in breach of its international obligations.
Så på mange måder har det iranske samfund forudsætningerne for at skabet et frit samfund".
Tehran's continued defiance of the world community over its nuclear programme was a major topic in the debate on Tuesday 19 January in Strasbourg.
Angående Irans omstridte atomprogram sagde Ashton: "Vi beklager, at Iran har nægtet at gå videre med forhandlingerne.
Iran "still producing enriched uranium"
Jeg håber inderligt, at jeg i løbet af min embedsperiode kan vende tilbage til Parlamentet med et mere positivt billede af Iran".
She told the House that she regretted Iran had not agreed to engage in meaningful talks to broker a settlement either with the European Union or the wider international community.
Problematiske arbejdsbetingelser for ngo´er Spanske José Ignacio SALAFRANCA (EPP) beklagede de problematiske arbejdsbetingelser, som ngo´erne har i Iran: "ngo'erne har ikke mulighed for at udføre deres arbejde, der er ingen pressefrihed, der er mange meget alvorlige krænkelser af menneskerettighederne og Iran producerer stadig beriget uran.
For the Parliament's largest bloc, the centre right European People's Party MEP José Ignacio Salafranca told the House that Iran "was still producing enriched uranium".
Måske er tiden inde til at indføre yderligere sanktioner mod Iran.
He asked how long Europe "could keep patience with such behaviour?" and whether the time had come for extra punitive measures against the Iranian regime.
Europa-Parlamentet bør udstede en meget klar fordømmelse af menneskerettighedssituationen i Iran".
"Ruthless nuclear ambitions of Ahmedinejad"
Han efterspurgte en mere klar strategi fra det internationale samfunds side og påpegede, at eventuelle nye sanktioner burde ledsages af forsøg på dialog.
The Italian favoured sanctions alongside dialogue with the regime.
Som Martin Luther King sagde: "der kommer en tid, hvor tavshed anses for at være forræderi".
This was backed up by Dutchman Bas Belder of the European Freedom and Democracy bloc who warned: "Iran's nuclear programme poses very serious security threats and the international community should act accordingly".
Europa bør påtage sig en stærkere rolle".
"Arbitrary arrests not acceptable"
Hun stillede også spørgsmålstegn ved, om yderligere sanktioner var vejen frem, da sanktioner oftest rammer befolkningerne hårdere, end de regeringer, som de er rettet imod.
For the Liberal group, the third largest group, Dutch MEP Marietje Schaake said that "I won my elections by criticising the government of my country" but that "young women doing the same in Iran would be arrested, beaten and raped".
Behov for yderligere sanktioner
She called on Europe to take a tougher leading role.
Britiske Charles TANNOCK (ECR) kritiserede Ahmedinejad´s "hensynsløshed" og opfordrede til, at man indfører yderligere sanktioner mod Iran.
Catherine Ashton paid tribute to the "vibrant and active" youth of Iran and said its women were highly educated and there was a "capacity for public debate".
Han påpegede, at de unge iranske studerende og oppositionen har brug for Vestens støtte.
However, she said that many viewed the Presidential election last year as fraudulent and that the regime must respect civil and political rights.
Bastian Belder (EFD, Holland) sagde, at det iranske atomprogram udgjorde en meget alvorlig trussel mod international sikkerhed, og at det internationale samfund bør "handle i overensstemmelse hermed".
For the Greens/EFA Barbara Lochbihler, the head of Parliament's delegation to Iran (which was recently blocked from visiting), pointed out that many European countries were supplying technology that allowed the censorship of protests in Tehran.
Europa-Parlamentet stemmer om et beslutningsforslag om Iran i februar.
The European Parliament will vote a resolution on Iran in February.

Stor skuffelse over de manglende resultater ved COP15
A (Copenhagen) Climate of disappointment
MEP´erne havde håbet på et bedre resultat i København Flertallet af MEP`erne gav under onsdagens klimadebat udtryk for stor skuffelse over de manglende resultater ved klimatopmødet i København.
A snow-covered "Cool Globe" in Copenhagen, 19 December 2009 © Belga/Afp/A.Dennis A gloomy inquest rather than angry recriminations marked the mood when the European Parliament debated the Copenhagen climate conference Wednesday (20 January).
Aftalen omfatter også en fælles metode til verificering af de udviklede landes emissionsreduktioner
Others welcomed progress on financing as developed countries committed $30 billion to help developing states adapt.
Copenhagen Accord er ikke et juridisk bindende dokument, og det "anerkender" blot behovet for at holde de globale temperaturstigninger på under 2 graders celsius
Dutch EPP Member Corien Wortmann-Kool, who attended the conference, said that the EU's "30% must still stand".
Corien Wortmann-Kool (EPP, Holland, delegationsmedlem): "Vi er selvfølgelig skuffede over resultatet, men vi har taget nogle vigtige skridt, når det kommer til klimafinansiering og 2 graders -målsætningen.
She went on to appeal for people not to lose hope: "We have to review our strategy but we still have to cling to our ambition."
Franske Corinne Lepage (ALDE, delegationsmedlem) understregede vigtigheden af, at EU fortsætter sin offensive politik på klimaområdet, på trods af det skuffende resultat i København.
French ALDE Member Corinne Lepage said, Europe had "to maintain our position as world leaders".
Hun opfordrede EU-landene til at udvikle en "solid og ambitiøs" strategi til at "skubbe økonomien i en mere energieffektiv retning".
She called for "a robust and ambitious strategy to move the economy in a more energy efficient direction."
Lederen af Parlamentets delegation til København, Jo Leinen (S&D, Tyskland), udtrykte tilfredshed med "det spanske formandskabs engagement i kampen mod klimaændringer", men han var bekymret over tendensen til uenighed blandt EU´s medlemslande.
At the conference there was movement on climate as all developed countries (including the US) agreed to work within the same international framework.
"Vi er nødt til at genvinde vores lederskab i kampen mod klimaændringer, og derfor er vi nødt til at alliere os med strategiske partnere i tiden op til den næste store klimakonference i Mexico".
The Copenhagen Accord, which is not legally binding, also includes a " method for verifying " developing nations' emission reductions.
Leinen understregede vigtigheden af at opbygge alliancer med udviklingslandene, som han håbede ville blive mere konstruktive i takt med at klimastøtten fra de industrialiserede lande begynder at blive udbetalt.
In addition developed countries committed themselves to pay $30 billion between 2010 and 2012 in climate support to developing countries.
EU kan kun fungere effektivt, hvis vi taler med én stemme - det var ikke tilfældet.
However, the conference failed to come up with any legally binding targets.
