Torsdag stemte Parlamentet, ud over en lang række lovtekniske betænkninger, blandt andet om en betænkning, der lægger op til bedre dyrevelfærd.
The EP should pay its respects to this journalist for her great bravery, said Mr Borrell, and send its condolences to her family.

Åbning af mødet
Postponement of final vote on new Fundamental Rights Agency
Formanden Josep Borrell åbnede mødet med at annoncere et minuts stilhed til ære for den tidligere næstformand i Europa-Parlamentet, spanieren Antoni GUTIERRÉZ DÍAZ, medlem fra 1987- 1999, som døde 6. oktober.
MEPs adopted, by a large majority, amendments to the initial proposals of the European Commission but postponed the final vote on the legislative resolutions of the reports, deciding to refer both reports back to the Civil Liberties Committee for reconsideration.
Der var også et minuts stilhed til ære for den dræbte russiske journalist Anna Politkovskaja og andre journalister, som er blevet myrdet.
The rapporteurs proposed that the final vote be postponed in order to give more time to the European Commission in consultations with the Council to reach an eventual compromise.
Borrell konstaterede med bedrøvelse og harme det seneste mord på den russiske journalist, og hyldede Anna Politkovskaja for hendes mod og usædvanlige beslutsomhed.
The European Commission proposed that the agency should deal not only with first pillar issues but also third pillar ones such as police and justice cooperation which also includes measures on immigration and counter-terrorism.
Han har opfordret de russiske myndigheder til at gøre alt for at finde de skyldige og finde frem til motiverne for drabet.
Several Member States are opposed to this but the MEPs strongly support the proposal of the European Commission.
Han sendte sin kondolence til familie og venner og konstaterede, at mord på journalister desværre ikke er noget, der kun sker en gang i mellem; alt for mange mister livet, når de forsvarer ytringsfriheden.
The new agency is scheduled to take over the work of the existing European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia.
Hun træder derfor ud af Parlamentet.
It will also engage in awareness raising.
De væsentligste ændringer var tilføjelsen af debatten onsdag klokken 15-16 om Nordkoreas formodede atomforsøg, som Javier Solana og Udenrigskommissær Benita Ferrero-Waldner vil debattere med MEP'erne.
The European Parliament says that as well as fundamental rights issues in the Member States, the agency should also deal with problems in candidate countries and countries with which a Stabilisation and Association Agreement has been concluded.
Desuden blev titlen på debatten onsdag fra klokken 16 med Rådet og Kommissionen angående det uformelle topmøde i Lathi den 20. oktober udvidet til også at omhandle 'relationerne med Rusland efter mordet på Anna Politkovskaja'.
MEPs want the involvement of the European Parliament with the new Agency to be strengthened by being consulted on the five year framework for the agency and on the candidates for the post of Director.
Parlamentets forslag til beslutning bliver vedtaget under næste samling.
They want not only the Council but also Parliament and the European Commission to be able to draw on the technical expertise of the Agency.
Redegørelserne fra Rådet og Kommissionen ang. situationen i Transnistrien og Sydossetien bliver også udsat til næste samling.
They add that duplication of activities with the Council of Europe can be avoided through mechanisms to ensure complementarity and added value.

Fordømmelse af atomprøvesprængning i Nordkorea
MEPs condemn North Korean nuclear test in debate with Javier Solana
EU's udenrigspolitiske koordinator - den Høje Repræsentant Javier Solana, var til stede i Europa-Parlamentet i onsdagens aktuelle debat om den formodede atomprøvesprængning i Nordkorea i mandags.
Javier SOLANA, High Representative for the EU Common Foreign and Security Policy, said that North Korea on Monday morning had "quite possibly or probably" carried out a nuclear test.
Solana understregede, at selv om der endnu ikke er data, der 100 % bekræfter, at der var tale om en atomprøvesprængning, er det meget sandsynligt.
The North Koreans, he said, had carried out an explosion of a plutonium device from a reactor built in the 1980s and 1990s.
"Det er en handling, vi fordømmer og protesterer stærkt imod.
"It is most likely that it was a nuclear test", he said.
Især Kinas reaktion fandt Solana prisværdig.
Mr Solana stated that Japan and China, so far, had offered constructive comments.
Solana havde været i kontakt med lederne for disse lande.
He also said that he had consulted the future Secretary-General of the UN.
Kommissær for Udenrigsanliggender, Benita FERRERO-WALDNER, lagde vægt på, at EU har en vigtig rolle at spille, og hun var derfor glad for, at emnet kan blive diskuteret på topmødet i næste uge.
External relations Commissioner Benita FERRERO-WALDNER said North Korea's actions were not only a threat to the region but to the entire non-proliferation regime.
"Vi er nødt til internationalt set at gribe til handling over for det Nordkoreanske regime.
Its "deliberate escalation and provocation" was perhaps intended "to test the ability of the international community to remain united".
Nogen må fortælle dem, at de må glemme deres paranoide tilgang til resten af verden.
She called on the EU Member States with seats on the Security Council to "take due account of the EU's views".
De skal ikke straffes dobbelt på grund af deres forfærdelige regime, mente hun.
"The people should not be punished even more by their terrible regime", were her concluding words.
Han tilføjede desuden, at vi ikke må glemme, at denne krise bliver fulgt med lup i Iran.
At the same time, the world must not forget Iran and he welcomed Mr Solana's efforts on this front.
Martin SCHULZ (PSE, DE) lagde i sit indlæg vægt på, at det er vigtigt, at EU reagerer på en passende måde.
The leader of the Socialists, German MEP Martin SCHULZ, said the EU was "struggling to respond appropriately".
Han mener, at der skal vendes tilbage til diplomatiet og det skal undersøges, om alle muligheder for dialog er opbrugt, eller om sekspartsforhandlingerne kan genoptages.
He contrasted the policy of the Clinton administration, with the Kedo programme, which was designed to keep North Korea "linked to the rest of the world" and what he described as the "bankruptcy" of the Bush administration, which had cut off that programme.
Fra den grønne gruppe kunne Gérard ONESTA (Verts/ALE, FR) som en af de få der har været i Nordkorea berette, at er et land der er uden for almindelig logik.
Gérard ONESTA (Greens/EFA, FR) said that his country, France, was one that "deals in nuclear technology" which lent an air of "hypocrisy" to the proceedings.
"Det ligner George Orwell-land ", sagde han, og mente at det er Kina, der er nøglen til at løse konflikten.
The only card left to play was China, which had created and sustained the regime.
Tobias PFLÜGER (GUE/NGL, DE) fandt det i sit indlæg kynisk, at Nordkorea bruger penge til atomtests, når der er så stort behov for mad.
Tobias PFLÜGER (GUE/NGL, DE) said that the North Korean nuclear test deserved to be condemned and would only lead to the destabilisation of the region.
"Deres centrale krav synes at være direkte forhandlinger med USA.
It was sad that the North Korea regime was focusing on developing nuclear weapons rather than feeding its people.
Ģirts Valdis KRISTOVSKIS (UEN, LV) beklagede, at fred og stabilitet igen er tabt.
Ģirts Valdis KRISTOVSKIS (UEN, LV) was another speaker to underline that the whole region's stability had been undermined by the nuclear test.
Bastiaan BELDER (IND/DEM, NL) henviste igen til, at der ikke er en, men to atomkriser - også den i Iran.
Bastiaan BELDER (IND/DEM, NL) said that the whole region had been destabilised.
"Mht. ikkespredningsaftalen må man forvente, at EU's medlemsstater skal gøre Rusland og Kina opmærksom på deres store ansvar," sagde han og mente, at søvejen til Nordkorea skal kontrolleres meget bedre.
Russia and China need to shoulder their responsibility for finding a solution to this crisis.
Nordkorea modtog ifølge Belder af den vej materiel så sent som i sidste uge.
The international community could stop trading with North Korea.
Fra løsgængerne var det Jan Tadeusz MASIEL (NI, PL), der havde ordet.
Jan Tadeusz MASIEL (NA, PL) said that North Korea's population had suffered considerably over a long period and that the North Korean regime should concentrate on feeding its people rather than building nuclear weapons.
"Nordkorea er et af de få sorte får, der er tilbage i verden.
This would be of benefit to the entire region and not only North Korea.
Det er på en måde et desperat råb om hjælp", sagde han og understregede, som flere af sine kollegaer, at der er mere brug for fødevarer end våben i Nordkorea.
He argued that "it behoves the EU to be extremely robust and resolute" in the circumstances and said "severe sanctions" might be required.
Hun understreger, at EU, uden at være direkte medspiller i forhandlingerne, er klar til at spille en mere aktiv rolle.
The EU was not a participant in these negotiations but "as a responsible global actor, it is profoundly supportive of this framework".
Javier SOLANA gentog i sine afsluttende bemærkninger, at prøvesprængningen er uansvarlig, og det er noget det internationale samfund skal stå sammen om at bekæmpe.
North Korea had probably examined the international community's reaction to the nuclear test carried out by Pakistan and drawn the conclusion that they too could carry out a test.

Afstemning om nyt agentur udsat
EP calls for stricter animal protection and animal welfare rules
Med udsættelsen af afstemningen understreger Parlamentet sin insisteren på, at agenturet også skal kunne agere indenfor områder som politisamarbejde, retssamarbejde, immigration og anti-terror-samarbejde.
The report calls on the Commission to submit plans for animal protection labelling, to urge the strengthening of animal protection in WTO negotiations, and to ban seal and 'cruelty products' imports into the Union.
Parlamentet vedtog den samlede pakke af ændringsforslag til Kommissionens forslag, men valgte at vente med den endelige vedtagelse af to betænkninger af Kinga GÁL (PPE-DE, HU), og Magda KÓSÁNÉ KOVÁCS (PSE, HU) for at lade dem gå tilbage til Udvalget for Borgernes frihedsrettigheder, så uenighederne med Rådet kan udredes.
The report also calls on the EU to bring an end to dog and cock fighting, although a similar plea to end bull fighting was rejected by MEPs during the vote.
Kommissionen har foreslået, at Agenturet for Grundlæggende Rettigheder også skal kunne beskæftige sig med områder under tredje søjle i EU-samarbejdet, såsom politi- og retssamarbejde, som også omfatter indsatsen i forhold til immigration og anti-terrorisme foranstaltninger.
The own-initiative report by Elisabeth JEGGLE (EPP-ED, DE) on a Community Action Plan on the Protection and Welfare of Animals points out that "animal protection and animal health impact closely on each other."
Parlamentet støtter Kommissionen på dette punkt, men flere medlemslandes regeringer i Rådet går imod forslaget.
It therefore calls on the Commission to "take greater account of animal protection aspects in the fight against animal diseases."
Parlamentet lægger desuden i betænkningen af Kinga Gál vægt på, at det skal være et uafhængigt agentur.
MEPs also noted that "in practice, EU rules on the transport of animals [...] are frequently disregarded."
De ønsker, at Parlamentet skal høres forud for vedtagelsen af agenturets flerårige ramme, og i forbindelse med de kandidater, der foreslås til stillingen som agenturets direktør.
For this reason, the report "urges the strengthening of animal protection within the framework of the WTO" to raise animal welfare standards all over the world.
Det skal heller ikke kun være Rådet, men også Kommissionen og Parlamentet, der skal kunne trække på agenturets ekspertise.
Members also expressed their regret that "the focus of European policy on animal welfare has so far been almost exclusively on the welfare and protection of farm animals."
Opgaven for det nye agentur bliver at udbrede kendskabet til de grundlæggende rettigheder og komme med tilbagemeldinger til EU og medlemslandene om, hvordan det står til med overholdelsen af disse rettigheder.
Therefore, the report also suggests widening the scope of EU legislation on animal testing, calls on the Commission to make permanent the ban on EU imports of wild birds, and to also ban seal and 'cruelty products' imports.
Kommissær for Retlige Anliggender, Franco FRATTINI, udtrykte efter afstemningen tilfredshed med udsættelsen og håbede på, at der kommer en snarlig aftale med Rådet.
The House voted against extending this passage to bull fighting, as well (178-412-15).

Stort flertal for strengere regler for dyrevelfærd
Soft fruits and cherries - MEPs want Commission to devise anti-dumping measures
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog torsdag med overvældende flertal (565 stemmer mod 29) en betænkning, der lægger op til strengere regler for dyrevelfærd.
In adopting a resolution on soft fruits and cherries intended for processing, MEPs also want the Commission immediately to devise and implement measures restricting excessive imports of soft fruits from third countries, particularly those which apply dumping prices.
Parlamentet ønsker blandt andet en mærkningsordning for dyrevelfærd, større hensyn til beskyttelse af dyr i forbindelse med WTO-forhandlingerne og forbud mod sælskind og andre 'dyremishandlingsprodukter'.
The House calls on the Commission to take immediate steps to initiate cooperation projects and training measures for the farmers concerned and support for improvements to the marketing infrastructure in order to create better opportunities for growers of soft fruits and cherries in the EU to make a living.
Betænkningen, som er en egen-initiativbetænkning af Elisabeth JEGGLE (PPE-DE, DE) fra Landbrugsudvalget, forholder sig til EU-Kommissionens handlingsplan for dyrevelfærd 2006-2010, som Parlamentet generelt er tilfreds med.
Parliament calls for soft fruits such as strawberries, currants, raspberries, gooseberries, sour cherries and sweet cherries to be included in processing aid systems similar to those currently applied in the case of tomatoes, pears, peaches and citrus fruit, with a view to stabilising the market in these products more effectively.
Parlamentet understreger, at dyrebeskyttelse og dyresundhed er nøje forbundet, og opfordrer Kommissionen til at tage større hensyn til beskyttelsen af dyr, når der skal bekæmpes smitsomme sygdomme.
The House draws attention to the fact that these products are of strategic importance in certain regions of the old Member States and to the new Member States, where they are of social, and not just economic, value as well as enhancing the landscape.
Parlamentet foreslår i nødstilfælde at bruge regionale vaccinationer i stedet for at aflive store bestande af sunde dyr, som det f.eks. skete i forbindelse med kogalskab.
The House calls on the Commission, in the long term, to consider adopting qualified market access for soft fruits, which would make imports of products from third countries conditional on compliance with environmental and social standards in their production corresponding to those of the European Union.
Parlamentet går også ind for, at der udvikles en EU-mærkningsordning, der skal kunne garantere højere standarder i forhold til dyrevelfærd, men mener, at forbrugerne skal informeres og være parate til at betale mere for produkter, der kommer fra landbrug med høje dyrevelfærdsstandarder.
MEPs considers that, if such standards are not complied with, a levy should be imposed on the imports to protect European producers against dumping and that the revenue from this levy should be used to finance rural development projects in the exporting countries concerned.
Men Parlamentet vil også have Kommissionen til at gøre en stor indsats for at sikre, at de høje standarder i Europa ikke bliver en hæmsko for konkurrenceevnen i forhold til resten af verden, og at de fører til 'dyrebeskyttelsesdumping'.
Parliament wants the Commission to take vigorous action with a view to including products which are subject to low customs tariffs (as is the case with soft fruits) on the list of sensitive goods and bringing soft fruits under special safeguard clauses (SSGs) and the entry price arrangements.
Parlamentet beklager, at dyrevelfærd ikke er en del af de nuværende WTO-forhandlinger og ønsker, at Kommissionen i forbindelse med Doha-runden skal gå aktivt ind for, at dyrebeskyttelse kommer på dagsordenen.
The resolution calls on the Commission to enter discussions with the Member States with a view to introducing financial support for projects to take old soft fruit and cherry plantations out of production in the event of prolonged supply surpluses.
Dyretransport er også med i betænkningen, hvor medlemmerne påpeger, at der alt for ofte bliver set stort på EU-reglerne for dyretransport, især i forhold til at give dyrene pauser og adgang til vand og foder.
MEPs call on the Commission to simplify the relevant provisions and the crisis support arrangements for soft fruit and cherry producers suffering losses as a result of adverse weather conditions.
I Miljøudvalgets udtalelse til betænkningen var tonen mere skarp: udvalget mente, at der inden 2010 bør indføres en øvre tidsgrænse på dyretransporter på højst 8 timer.
The House takes the view that such simplification should in particular seek to ensure that compensation for the impact of adverse weather conditions does not require prior approval by the Commission, which would significantly speed up payments to farmers.
Desuden bifalder Parlamentet forslaget om at forbyde import af katte- og hundeskind, og opfordrer Kommissionen til også at komme med et forslag om et 'totalforbud mod sælprodukter og "dyremishandlingsprodukter fra tredjelande såsom skind fra dyr, der er blevet flået levende'.
The House calls on the Commission to introduce compensation arrangements for producers as part of the reform of the CMO in fruit and vegetables, to cover situations in which crops of soft fruits and cherries are not brought to market as a result of unforeseen and temporary difficulties stemming from supply surpluses.
Parlamentet ønsker også, at EU skal stoppe hunde- og hanekampe, enten ved national lovgivning eller fællesskabslovgivning.
The House calls for the introduction of a labelling system to indicate the country of origin of agricultural products used for processed foods, and for such labelling to be required on the end product as well, making it possible for consumers to choose whether to purchase regional products.
Et forslag om at forbyde tyrefægtning blev dog ikke vedtaget. ordfører: Elisabeth JEGGLE PPE-DE DE
Parliament wants appropriate funds to be allocated, in connection with regulations seeking to promote agricultural products, to increasing consumption of high-quality European soft fruits and soft-fruit products.

Skotold: Protektionisme eller 'balanceret tilgang' ?
Boosting ties between EU and Mercosur
Meningerne var mere end delte i Parlamentets debat onsdag aften om den netop indgåede aftale om at indføre importtold på sko fra Kina og Vietnam.
Parliament adopted an own-initiative report on economic and trade relations between the EU and Mercosur.
Mens nogle MEP'ere anså det for en naturlig beskyttelse af det europæiske marked, mente andre at det var ren protektionisme.
The report looks at the plans for an interregional association agreement launched at the first summit of heads of state or government of the EU and Mercosur in Rio de Janeiro (June 1999).
I sidste uge blev EU-ministrene enige om at indføre 16,5 procent straftold på lædersko fra Kina og 10 procent straftold på sko fra Vietnam for at beskytte det europæiske marked mod prisdumping.
The House believes both continents have an interest in seeing Mercosur open up to Asia, South Africa and the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council.
Den spanske MEP Enrique Barón Crespo fra PSE-gruppen, stod i denne forbindelse bag en forespørgsel til Rådet og Kommissionen.
MEPs also urge the Mercosur countries to create their own parliament, composed of representatives of different national parliaments.
Rådet var ikke til stede under debatten, og den relevante kommissær, handelskommissær Peter Mandelson, havde også meldt afbud, hvilket Barón Crespo var stærkt utilfreds med.
Parliament believes that the two processes, rather than being mutually exclusive, are complementary.
Barón Crespo var dog tilfreds med indførelsen af straftold på sko fra Kina og Vietnam, hvilket han mente var udtryk for en "balanceret tilgang" og ikke handlede om "at åbne eller lukke døre", men derimod om at forsvare gensidigt indgåede handelsaftaler.
MEPs stress the importance of core labour standards and decent jobs for the development of Mercosur; states therefore that the agreement must include a specific agenda on decent work tailor-made for Mercosur Member States and a commitment by the EU to offer all necessary assistance in achieving that agenda.
Der var dog også kritiske røster, da flere MEP'er på tværs af politiske skel anklagede straftolden for at være forbrugerfjendtlig.
Finally, the House considers that in addition to the repressive aspect concerning the fight against drugs, the agreement should insist on delivering aid to farmers to help them start new alternative production.
Margrethe AUKEN (Verts/ALE, DK) som talte på vegne af sin gruppe, De Grønne og kaldte beslutningen om told på sko fra Kina og Vietnam "endnu et eksempel på EU's protektionisme" .
Parliament has given a welcome to dialogue between the Commission, Member States and professional bodies aimed at dismantling unjustified or harmful barriers to competition in professional services.
"Tolden rammer bl.a. Danmark, der har flyttet produktionen af sko til Kina og kun beholdt design og markedsføring.
With 534 votes in favour, 62 against and 9 abstentions, Parliament adopted an own-initiative report, drawn up by Jan Christian EHLER (EPP-ED, DE) in reaction to the Commission’s latest communication on the issue.
Men værre er det, at EU nu undergraver WTO og det multilaterale aftalesystem," sagde hun.
It says effective and transparent self-regulation can be appropriate, but that Member States should ensure it does not damage consumer interests.
Anne E. JENSEN (ALDE, DK) tog også ordet i debatten.
MEPs support the adoption of codes of conduct by professional service providers.
Hun var ligesom Margrethe Auken modstander af at indføre tolden.
They therefore call on Member States to overcome these constraints through measures which are less restrictive.
Hun mente heller ikke, at Kommissionen havde givet tilstrækkeligt dokumentation for, at der havde fundet dumping sted fra Kina og Vietnam.
MEPs want restrictions on advertising by professionals to be largely dispensed with, limited only to duly justified exceptional cases.

Topmøde og forholdet til Rusland
MEPs ask for more democratic control over patent procedures
