Derfor opfordrer de Kommissionen til at undersøge de følger, som koncentrationen inden for supermarkedssektoren har for mindre virksomheder, leverandører, arbejdstagere og forbrugere, og særligt i hvilket omfang supermarkederne har misbrugt deres dominerende position på markedet til at presse leverandørerne ned i pris.
MEPs point out that throughout the EU, retailing is increasingly dominated by a small number of supermarket chains and these retailers are fast-becoming ‘gatekeepers’, controlling farmers’ and other suppliers’ only real access to EU consumers.
MEP'erne anmoder også Kommissionen om at foreslå lovgivning der kan beskytte forbrugerne, arbejdstagerne og producenterne mod 'dominerende kræfters' magtmisbrug.
MEPs also say such squeezes on suppliers have negative knock-on effects on both quality of employment and environmental protection and consumers potentially face a loss in diversity of products, the cultural heritage and retail outlets.

Mandag under EP-samlingen
Monday in Plenary: Kosovo, supermarket dominance
I forbindelse med Kosovos selvstændighedserklæring, der fandt sted i søndags, manede parlamentsformanden til ro og besindighed.
Also Monday, Parliament adopted a written declaration, signed by over half of MEPs, expressing concern about the dominant position of Europe's supermarkets and particularly the impact they have in forcing prices down for suppliers.
Pöttering åbnede mødet med at fremsætte en kort erklæring i anledning af, at Kosovo har erklæret sin selvstændighed.
Sunday 17 February saw Kosovo proclaim independence to the jubilation of ethnic Albanians, the trepidation of the Serb minority and condemnation by Belgrade.
Han understregede, at der ikke er nogen nemme løsninger i denne sag.
Mr Pöttering said "the decision expresses the will of Kosovo's citizens to take their fate into their own hands."
Han opfordrede serbere og albanere i Kosovo til at samarbejde med henblik på at opbygge demokratiske institutioner til gavn for alle indbyggerne i området.
In March last year MEPs accepted the conclusions of the report by UN envoy Martti Ahtisaari on the future status of Kosovo.
Han mindende om, at alle landene på Vestbalkan principielt har mulighed for at blive optaget i EU.
"I'm convinced that Serbs and Kosovars will try to bring about peace and reconciliation in the region."
"Det er en af vores opgaver at arbejde for stabilitet på Balkan, således at alle disse lande kan bevare udsigten til med tiden at opnå fuldt medlemskab", konkluderede formanden.
The President welcomed the Council's decision to send a police and administrative mission to Kosovo to help with a smooth transition in the region.
Skriftlig erklæring om supermarkeder
Abuse of market dominance by large supermarkets
Pöttering henviste i sin åbningstale til, at et stort flertal af MEP´erne (439) har underskrevet en erklæring, som er rettet mod de store supermarkedskæders dominerende position på markedet for dagligvarer.
A written declaration tabled by five MEPs and signed by 439 Members was adopted since it has received majority support.
Han meddelte, at erklæringen i henhold til forretningsordenen nu vil blive fremsendt til Kommissionen.
"Consumers, providers and employees of the big retail chains have to be better protected against the unfair trade terms imposed by hypermarkets," the resolution says.
I erklæringen henvises til, at detailhandelen i EU i stadig større omfang domineres af enkelte supermarkedskæder, og at disse detailhandlere er med til at bestemme over landmænd og andre leverandørers eneste reelle adgang til forbrugerne.
In particular it criticises the practice by retail giants of imposing excessively prolonged payment conditions that jeopardise producers' cash flow.
Ifølge MEP´erne betyder det, at de store supermarkeder misbruger deres købekraft til at betale leverandørerne uholdbart lave priser og påtvinger forhandlerne uretfærdige betingelser.
"Consumers potentially face a loss in diversity of products and cultural heritage," it says.
Endvidere har det pres, der dermed lægges på leverandørerne, en negativ indflydelse på både kvaliteten i arbejdet og på miljøbeskyttelsen, konkluderes det.
Rises in retail food prices do not bring any extra income to the producers..
Derfor opfordres Kommissionen til at undersøge de følger, som koncentrationen inden for supermarkedssektoren har for mindre virksomheder, leverandører, arbejdstagere og forbrugere.
"Evidence from across the EU suggests big supermarkets are abusing their buying power to force down prices paid to suppliers."
MEP'erne anmoder desuden Kommissionen til at foreslå lovgivning, der kan beskytte forbrugerne, arbejdstagerne og producenterne mod 'dominerende kræfters' magtmisbrug.
MEPs therefore ask the European Commission to examine the effect of the current retail concentration on the functioning of the European internal market and to propose measures to counteract any infringement of EU competition law.
Op til fem medlemmer kan indgive en skriftlig erklæring på højst 200 ord om et emne, som falder ind under EU´s virksomhedsområde.
MEPs can use written declarations to start or prompt a debate on a subject that comes within the EU’s remit.
For at blive vedtaget skal erklæringen underskrives af mindst halvdelen af Parlamentets 785 medlemmer.
To be formally adopted. it must be signed by over half of the 785 members.
Derefter overdrages teksten til parlamentsformanden, der annoncerer erklæringen i plenum.
The text is then forwarded to the President, who announces it in plenary and it is then forwarded to the institutions named.
Andre emner
Also on Monday
Under mandagens samling blev der også diskuteret gennemsigtighed på de finansielle markeder og kampen mod bedrageri samt europæiske virksomheders adgang til EU´s Indre Marked.
During the day's other debates, MEPs turned their attention to transparency in financial matters and the fight against fraud and EU market access for European companies.
Endelig debatterede MEP´erne en initiativbetænkning, der opfordrer til, at definitionen af terrorisme i EU's ramme-afgørelse også skal indbefatte 'retfærdiggørelse af terrorisme', og det skal i den sammenhæng overvejes at indføre fælles EU-regler for indrejse, ophold og udvisning af personer der medvirker til radikalisering.
MEPs also discussed a report from the Civil Liberties Committee on how to prevent radicalisation and the recruitment of terrorists.
Betænkningen skal til afstemning tirsdag den 19. februar.

MEP´ere observerer parlamentsvalg i Pakistan
"Healthy rivalry" in Pakistan elections - MEP observers
Delegationsformand Robert Evans (MEP) sammen med vælgere i Pakistan
Election monitor Robert Evans MEP with voters in Pakistan
Pakistan fik endelig afholdt parlamentsvalg mandag den 18. februar, og et observatørhold fra Europa-Parlamentet var på pletten.
Pakistan finally held parliamentary elections on Monday and a team of MEPs were there to observe the poll.
Til trods for at valget i høj grad var overskygget af drabet på den tidligere oppositionskandidat, Benazir Bhutto, rapporterede valgobservatørerne om stor entusiasme blandt de pakistanske vælgere.
Although overshadowed by the assassination of Benazir Bhutto on 27 December and some tensions, the observers reported "a lot of enthusiastic voters and healthy rivalry" among parties.
Valgresultatet, som først kendes endeligt i løbet af i dag og i morgen, kan blive meget afgørende for, om Pakistan vender tilbage til demokratiet eller synker endnu længere ned i den ustabilitet, der for tiden vækker stor bekymring i nabolandene.
The team was part of a wider EU election observation mission headed by German Christian Democrat MEP Michael Gahler, whose remit included monitoring the media as well as local and national authorities.
De tre største partier, der kæmpede om magten er: Det Pakistanke Folkeparti (Benazir Bhutto’s gamle parti), Den Pakistanske Muslimske Liga - Nawaz (tidligere premierminister Nawaz Sharifs parti) og Den Pakistanske Muslimske Liga - Quaid-e-Azam (som støttes af den siddende præsident Pervez Musharraf).
The election pits the Pakistani People's Party (now run by Benazir Bhutto’s widower) against the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) (run by former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif) and the Pakistan Muslim League - Quaid-e-Azam, (PML-Q) - the party supporting President Pervez Musharraf.
Observatørernes rolle
On the ground - looking for irregularities
MEP´erne indgik som led i en 131 mand stor valgobservationsgruppe fra EU.
The MEPs were there as part of the 131-member EU election observation mission in the country since December.
Observatørerne var opdelt i fem grupper, der hver dækkede deres geografiske område.
The Members divided themselves into five teams, three around Islamabad and two around Lahore.
Observatørernes opgave bestod i at udvælge, observere og kontrollere repræsentative valgsteder rundt om i landet.
They randomly select polling stations to visit, where they record whether procedures are being complied with; for example: are ballot boxes sealed, are people voting in private, does everyone vote only once?
Flere af observatørerne har tilbragt de sidste måneder i Pakistan for at følge valgkampen og de pakistanske mediers rolle på tætteste hold.
They are also on the lookout for any intimidation of voters and whether the staff manning the polling stations are aware of their duties.
EU-observatørerne vil i morgen præsentere deres konklusioner på en fælles pressekonference i Islamabad.
In addition, each team is present for the opening and closing of a polling station and the counting of votes.
Mens verden venter i spænding
"World is holding its breath"
Efter valgstederne lukkede mandag aften, sagde den britiske socialdemokrat Robert Evans, der er formand for Parlamentets delegation, at verden nu venter med stor spænding på det endelige valgresultat.
Speaking after the polls British Labour MEP Robert Evans, who headed the Parliament's seven-person mission, said the "world is holding its breath" for the result.
Hvem var med på turen?
Who is in the delegation?
Udover delegationsformanden Robert Evans, deltog Ivo Belet (Gruppen for Det Europæiske Folkeparti (Kristelige Demokrater) og De Europæiske Demokrater, Belgien), Lilli Gruber (De Europæiske Socialdemokraters Gruppe, Italien), Jo Leinen (PES, Tyskland), Marianne Mikko (PES, Estland), Nickolay Mladenov (EPP-ED, Bulgarien) og Baroness Emma Nicholson Winterbourne (Gruppen Alliancen af Liberale og Demokrater for Europa, Storbritannien).
As well as the Chairman Robert Evans the delegation from Parliament consisted of: Belgian Ivo Belet (EPP-ED), Italian Lilli Gruber (PES), German Jo Leinen (PES), Estonian Marianne Mikko (PES), Bulgarian Nickolay Mladenov (EPP-ED) and Britain's Baroness Emma Nicholson of Winterbourne (ALDE).

Interview med den svenske statsminister Fredrik Reinfeldt
Interview with Sweden's PM Fredrik Reinfeldt
Interview med den svenske statsminister, Fredrik Reinfeldt
Stockholm to Strasbourg: Swedish PM Reinfeldt
Den svenske premierminister, Fredrik Reinfeldt, besøgte tirsdag den 19. februar Europa-Parlamentet for at diskutere fremtidsperspektiverne for EU med MEP´erne.
Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt was in the European Parliament on Tuesday 19 February to address MEPs as part of the future of Europe debate.
Han lagde særlig vægt på vigtigheden af velfærdsreformer, jobskabelse samt behovet for at Europa handler i forhold til de globale klimaforandringer.
He spelled out his vision of welfare reform, job creation and the need for the Europe to act on climate change.
Vi fangede ham før han gik på talerstolen og fik mulighed for stille et par spørgsmål angående EU, klimaforandringer og Kosovo.
Prior to his speech we caught up with him and asked him a few questions about his attitude towards the EU, climate change and Kosovo.
Hvad er efter din mening de største styrker og svagheder ved EU?
As you prepare for your speech this afternoon, what do you think the greatest strengths and weaknesses of the EU are?
Tror du, at Lissabon-traktaten vil kunne gøre en forskel?
Also, as yours could be the first EU Presidency to operate under the new Lisbon Treaty, do you think that is going to make a big difference?
Europas største resultat er skabelsen af fred, samarbejde og handel.
The greatest achievement of Europe is to be found in peace, in cooperation and in trade.
Det er første gang nogensinde, at det har været muligt, og det er Den Europæiske Union, der gør det muligt.
It's the first time ever that this has been possible and it is the European Union which makes it possible.
Derudover er (EU) åben for, at andre kan deltage i samarbejdet under de samme betingelser.
Moreover, it is opening up for others to join under the same circumstances.
Det største problem er, at selvom vi siger, at vi har et frit indre marked, så er det der alligevel ikke helt endnu.
The biggest problem is that although we have said we want an internal free market, it's still not yet fully there.
For et lille land som Sverige, der er blevet rig ved at handle med andre, ville det være meget godt, hvis det indre marked rent faktisk var et indre marked - uden så mange nationale tilskudsordninger, nationalt bureaukrati osv. Det står i vejen for handel og større effektivitet.
Therefore for a small country like Sweden who has grown rich out of trading with others, it would be very helpful if the internal market really was the internal market, without so many national subsidies, national bureaucracy, and so on - which get in the way of trade and greater efficiency.
Angående Lissabon-traktaten. - Når Sverige overtager EU- formandskabet, tror jeg, at alle vil være meget lettede over, at vi nu kan diskutere og fokusere på politik, klimaforandringer og bekæmpelse af international kriminalitet.
On the changes that Lisbon could bring; (Sweden will hold the Presidency of the EU in the last half of 2009): I think everyone is very relieved that all the internal discussions seem to be over, that we can now discuss and focus on politics, on climate change and combating international crime.
Vi vil til den tid have bedre midler til at gøre det, men den institutionelle balance skal samtidig sikres.
We will have better means to do that, but of course the institutional balance needs to be protected.
Vi tror, at Europa-Parlamentet vil få større indflydelse på lovgivningen.
We think the European Parliament will have greater influence on legislation.
Det svenske EU-formandskab falder sammen med klimakonferencen i København: Tror du på, at der vil kunne opnås konsensus?
The Swedish Presidency of the EU will coincide with the run up to the Copenhagen climate conference: are you confident a consensus can be found?
Jeg mener, at det vil være en af de mest fantastiske begivenheder i historien, hvis det lykkes.
Laughs: I would say it would be one of the most fantastic moments in history if it was possible.
Vil Europa være i stand til at tage en beslutning, når det kommer til fordelingen af byrderne?
Will Europe be able to take a decision regarding burden sharing?
Vi diskuterede en tidsplan med Europa-Parlamentet; Medlemsstaterne er nødt til at træffe deres beslutninger, og når det er kommet i stand, vil Europa stå stærkere og derfor bedre kunne påvirke Kina, USA og Indien.
We were discussing a timetable with the European Parliament; Member States need to take their decisions, and hopefully once that's in place it will make Europe stronger to influence China, US, India.
Jeg tror også, at det bliver meget afgørende, hvem der bliver USAs næste præsident.
I also think it will be very decisive who will be the next President of the US.
Efter min mening er det helt klart, at vi har behov for et kinesisk lederskab, der anerkender, at de selv er en del af løsningen.
I think it's very clear we need a Chinese leadership that says they are also part of the solution.
Det giver ikke mening at sige, at de stadig blot er en udviklingsøkonomi, og at det derfor kun er den gamle industrialiserede del af verden, som skal tage et ansvar.
We cannot say in these discussions that they are still an emerging economy and that's it's only the old industrial part of the world which should take responsibility
Kyoto-processen var "en kollation af de villige".
The Kyoto process was a "coalition of the willing".
Problemet er, at de "villige" kun står for en lille del af den samlede udledning af drivhusgasser.
The problem is that the willing themselves stand for a minority of greenhouse emissions.
Hovedparten af CO2-udledningen kommer fra lande, der står udenfor Kyoto-protokollen.
The majority of the emissions come from countries outside the Kyoto protocol.
Vil du under din tale til Europa-Parlamentet komme ind på Kosovos uafhængighedserklæring?
Would you be offering any thoughts to the European Parliament about this weekend's declaration on independence by Kosovo?
Vi mener, at det var meget vigtigt at forsøge at holde de europæiske lande sammen, men det har ikke altid været muligt.
We think it was important to try and keep European countries together, but that has not been possible.
Vi har nu en splittelse i FN´s Sikkerhedsråd, og vi har en splittelse i Den Europæiske Union.
We now have a division in the UN Security Council, and we have partly a division in the European Union.
Selv hvis vi anerkender Kosovos uafhængighed, må vi samtidig erkende, at det bliver en meget langsigtet proces under international indflydelse.
Even if we say yes to independence for Kosovo, we have to say at the same time that it will be a long term process under international influence.
Derfor bliver der ikke tale om en ny nation i morgen.
Therefore it will not be a new nation tomorrow, it's a nation emerging and it will take quite a long time.
Det er en nation under udvikling, og det vil komme til at tage temmelig lang tid.
There are specific circumstances regarding Kosovo.
I Kosovo-spørgsmålet er der nogle særlige omstændigheder, der gør sig gældende.
It cannot be linked to other situations of minority groups inside countries.
Der eksisterer mange skillelinier.
There are many divisions on this question.
Jeg tror, at de fleste kan acceptere uafhængighed, men mange vil stille spørgsmålstegn ved, hvad der vil ske med deres hjemland.
I think most can accept independence but many ask themselves what will happen in my home country.
Kosovo udgør en helt speciel situation.
Kosovo is a specific situation.
Det europæiske ideal er, at man fjerner grænserne og dermed gør det lettere for folk at rejse rundt.
The Europe ideal is to take away barriers and make movement of people easier.
Vi vil ikke acceptere nye barrierer, der adskiller folk.
So we will not accept new barriers and keep people from each other, that's not the European idea.
Det er ikke den europæiske ide.
We also need a European perspective for Kosovo, Serbia and all the Western Balkans.
Vi har behov for et europæisk perspektiv for Kosovo, Serbien og hele det vestlige Balkan.
Concerning the Swedish model of high welfare coverage and low unemployment.
Kan den svenske model med et højt velfærdsniveau og lav arbejdsløshed udgøre en lære for andre i Europa?
Does that offer as model a lesson for others in Europe?
Jeg tror, at alle ønsker at bevare deres egen model!
Laughs: I think everyone wants their own model!
Min opfattelse er, at vi har en nordisk velfærdsmodel.
My perception is that we have a Nordic welfare model.
Vi forsøger at udvide argumentet, som vi brugte under parlamentsvalget i 2006 - og det svenske folk er enige - velfærd er godt, men vi er nødt til at skabe flere jobs for at opretholde den.
We are trying to further the argument we had in the election in 2006 - and the Swedish people agree - is that welfare cover is good but we need to create more jobs for people to sustain it.
Flere jobs, større produktivitet og en stærk økonomi.
More jobs, more productivity, a strong economy.
