Martin Schulz (S & D, DE) beklagede, at de indstillede kommissærer havde indgået et "tavshedsløfte" med Barroso under høringerne i Europa-Parlamentet for ikke at sige noget forkert.
Martin Schulz of the Socialist and Democrats complained that the Commissioners-designate had taken a "vow of silence" during the hearings, imposed by President Barroso, in order not to say anything wrong.
De kommissærer, der havde indledt en reel dialog med Parlamentet, som Michel Barnier, Joaquin Almunia og Kristalina Georgieva, havde til gengæld vundet ved det, sagde han.
Those who entered into a real dialogue with the Parliament, such as Michel Barnier, Joaquin Almunia and Kristalina Georgieva, had "gained standing".
Schulz understregede, at Kommissionen bør arbejde som et kollegium og ikke som et "præsident-vælde."
The Commission needs to work as a college and must not be run like a "presidential system", said the German leader.
Guy Verhofstadt (ALDE, BE) sagde, at hans gruppe, ALDE, "er en ansvarlig gruppe," og at de ville stemme for Kommissionen, selv om støtten vil være betinget.
Guy Verhofstadt of the Liberal ALDE said his bloc "is a responsible group" and would vote in favour, although "our support will be conditional".
Han forventede, at den nye Kommission ville blive en drivkraft for Europa, "hvilket ikke har været tilfældet de seneste fem år", og understregede, at Kommissionen skal fungere som et reelt kollegium, med stærkt sammenhold og evne til at finde politikker, som kan blive bakket op af de tre politiske familier, som er repræsenteret i Kommissionen, herunder de liberale.
He expected the new Commission to "become a driving force for Europe, which has not been the case for the last five years" and that they work as a real college, with a strong sense of unity and the ability to find polices backed by the three different political families that compose the college, among them the liberals.
Endelig bør den nye Kommission havde det som sin hovedprioritet at finde et svar på den økonomiske krise og komme med en brugbar strategi for Europa i 2020.
Finally, the new Commission needs to "focus on one main task: to find an answer to the economic crisis and a workable strategy to Europe 2020.
"Men lyt ikke for meget til medlemsstaterne", sluttede han.
Don't listen too much to Member States", he concluded.
Daniel Cohn-Bendit, fra den grønne gruppe følte, at han var i selskab med en 'koalition af hyklere', da mange medlemmer ønskede at stemme for en Kommission, de ikke i virkeligheden ikke støttede.
Daniel Cohn-Bendit , of the Greens/EFA group , believed he was in the presence of "a coalition of hypocrites", as many MEPs would vote for a Commission they did not really support.
De fleste af de indstillede kommissærer havde ikke vist tilstrækkeligt med "visioner og ambitioner" i deres udtalelser, mente han, og beklagede, at MEP'erne stadig ønskede at bakke op om dem, hvilket antyder, at "alle de nuller til sammen giver et plus".
Most of the Commissioners-designate had not displayed enough "vision and ambition" in their hearings but MEPs would still back them, thus implying that "all the minuses produce a plus".
"ECR støttede dig, fordi du lignede en reformator.
Cohn-Bendit said his group would not vote in favour of the Commission but added "don't say those who don't vote for you are against Europe".
Vi forventer, du at leve op til dette ry", sagde Jan Zahradil (ECR, CZ), til Barroso.
He promised the Commission his group's support on various issues if it took the right action, for example on climate change or the regulation of financial markets.
"I 2005 fik man ideen til at mindske bureaukratiet ved at forenkle lovgivningen.
On behalf of his group, Czech Jan Zahradil (ECR) said to Mr Barroso "In 2005, you came up with the idea of cutting red tape by simplifying legislation.
Hvorfor ikke genoplive denne idé nu?" spurgte han.
Why not revive this idea now?".
"Hvis du viser, at du er en reformator, bakker vi op om dig , men hvis du følger forældede metoder, går vi imod dig", konkluderede han.
He added "If you demonstrate that you're a reformer, we shall back you, but if you follow well-trodden paths, we shall stand up and resist you".
Lothar BISKY (GUE / NGL, DE) kritiserede Kommissionsformandens 'neoliberale guidelines'.
Lothar Bisky (GUE/NGL) criticised the neoliberal stance of the Commission President.
Det nye kollegium af kommissærer vil også afspejle dette, mente han og sagde: "Du vil ikke få godkendelse fra min gruppe, og dit kollegium kan se frem til hårde, men retfærdige meningsudvekslinger."
The new college of Commissioners would also reflect this.
På vegne af EFD-gruppen, sagde Nigel FARAGE til Barroso: "Foran os har vi Europas nye regering - en regering, der med Lissabon-traktaten nu har enorm magt", herunder "evnen til bogstaveligt talt at overtage lande.
"You will not get the approval of my group and you can expect harsh, but fair, exchanges of views with your college".
Og alligevel siger Europa-Parlamentets store gruppe-ledere her til morgen, at du skal have endnu flere beføjelser! "
For the EFD group, Nigel Farage (UK) told Mr Barroso "what we have before us here is the new government of Europe, a government that with the Lisbon Treaty now has enormous powers" including "the ability now to use emergency powers to literally take countries over, and yet what we have heard from the European Parliament’s big group leaders this morning is the demand that you take even more powers!"
Han sagde, at "stakkels Grækenland" er "fanget i euroens økonomiske fængsel" og "det samme vil ske for Spanien, Portugal og Irland".
He argued that "poor Greece" is "trapped inside the economic prison of the euro" and "the same is going to happen to Spain, to Portugal and to Ireland".
Søren Søndergaard var på talerlisten under debatten med Kommissionen og lagde ud med lykønske Barroso med, at det var lykkedes ham at sammensætte en Kommission, som afspejler hans politiske projekt med EU - et politisk projekt som hans gruppe imidlertid er totalt uenige i.
The election vote was preceded by hearings of the Commissioners-designate organised by the committees of Parliament in January and February.
"Vi må vi konstatere, at vi står over for en Kommission, som accepterer social dumpning.
Each committee sent an evaluation letter on the respective Commissioner-designate to the Conference of Presidents (a body consisting of the EP President and the political group leaders).
"Det er kort sagt en ommer,". sluttede Søndergaard.
MEPs voted on reports on Croatia, FYROM & Turkey.
Den forrige EU-kommission blev godkendt i november 2004 med 449 stemmer for, 149 imod og 82 hverken for eller imod.
They were joined in the debate by Enlargement Commissioner Štefan Füle (top right), and Council representative Diego López Garrido.
MEP'ere ønsker hurtigere reaktioner og bedre koordinering i Eurozonen
In resolutions debated and approved on Wednesday, MEPs also underlined the limited progress made by Turkey towards meeting the "Copenhagen" EU eligibility criteria for EU membership.
Under debatten om problemerne i Euro-zonen, opfordrede MEP'erne Rådet og Kommissionen til at bruge situationen til at komme med initiativer til fordel for en mere bindende økonomisk koordinering og vedtage mere handlingsorienterede løsninger for at undgå spændinger på finansmarkederne i fremtiden.
Issues such as the rule of law, freedom of expression, good neighbourly relations, treatment of ethnic minorities, women's rights and the fight against corruption and organised crime must still be addressed by Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Turkey, according to today's resolutions.
I forhold til den monetære situation, sagde han, at "på trods af spændingerne på aktiemarkederne har EU handlet tilfredsstillende" og han understregede, at de initiativer, der allerede er i gang, ikke bør opgives.
Croatia is expected to "co-operate fully" with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and allow the Court access to documents requested for use in war crimes trials, says Parliament.
Han gav udtryk for Kommissionens støtte til den græske regerings plan, men tilføjede: "Der er dog risici forbundet med programmets mål og de mellemfristede finanspolitiske justeringer.
With negotiations with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia expected by MEPs "to begin in the near future", Parliament asks the Council to confirm, at its March 2010 summit, that it accepts the Commission's recommendation that negotiations be opened.
Det makroøkonomiske scenario er temmelig optimistisk (...) ligesom den forventede indsats i forhold til at bekæmpe skattesvig i en økonomisk ned-tur."
They back the Greek government's suggestion of a "symbolic and motivational target date of 2014" for the EU accession of Western Balkan countries, in a resolution drafted by Slovenian Socialist Zoran Thaler and adopted by 548 votes to 45, with 35 abstentions.
Joaquín Almunia sagde også, at Eurostat skal have større beføjelser til at overvåge medlemslandenes statistikker.
On the issue of the country's name, Parliament asks the governments of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and of Greece to "redouble their efforts at the highest level to find a mutually satisfactory solution to the name issue".
På vegne af PPE-gruppen sagde Corien Wortmann-Kool (NL), at hendes gruppe bakkede op om Kommissionens tilgang til Grækenlands problemer, selv om indsatsen kom måneder for sent.
Progress on concrete reforms remained limited in 2009, says the resolution on Turkey drafted by Ria Oomen-Ruijten (EPP, NL) and adopted by show of hands.
De nuværende problemer i euroområdet gør det akut nødvendigt med en mere stringent tilgang til økonomisk styring og en stærkere koordinering af de økonomiske politikker.
Parliament recalls that the opening of negotiations in 2005 was the starting point for "a long-lasting and open-ended process".
Barroso's 2020-mål er 'en tynd suppe', der snarest bør 'jævnes' med bedre økonomisk og politisk koordinering, mente Udo Bullman (S&D, DE) "Giv ikke give efter for frygt", sagde han henvendt til medlemsstaterne.
MEPs deplore the non-implementation of the Additional Protocol to the EC-Turkey Association Agreement for the "fourth consecutive year".
Endelig mente han, at EU skal "være i stand til at forsvare sig selv mod angreb fra markedet" ved at bruge utraditionelle værktøjer.
They say these are "a serious setback in Turkey's reform efforts" and therefore call for the Constitution to be reformed.
"Vores taktiske og strategiske fejl var, at vi ikke straks greb ind, og at vi har fulgt en forkert strategi fra starten", sagde Guy Verhofstadt (ALDE, BE) og tilføjede, at situationen i Grækenland viste, at Lissabon-strategien havde fejlet.
The Turkish Government should contribute "in concrete terms" to the comprehensive settlement of the Cyprus issue, say MEPs.
Han kritiserede den "manglende samhørighed, manglen på tillid og manglen på solidaritet" og understregede, at Europa ikke har brug for IMF til at gribe ind for at løse euroområdets problemer.
By immediately starting the withdrawal of its forces from the northern part of the island and addressing the issue of settlements of Turkish citizens, Turkey would help "facilitate a suitable climate for negotiations".
Pascal Canfin (Verts / ALE, FR) advarede om, at Spanien indtil for ganske nylig levede fuldt op til stabilitets-kriterierne, men at den offentlige gæld "fik lov til at eksplodere", og at situationen to år senere var meget dårlig med en høj arbejdsløshed: "Kriterierne for stabilitet er vigtige, men ikke nok ".
As positive news from Ankara, MEPs cite the broad public debate on issues within the so-called democratic opening, and a law removing restrictions on broadcasting in Kurdish.
"Hvis man har et for snævert syn på stabilitets- og vækstpagtens kriterier, risikerer man ikke at se det samlede billede, og dermed mister man muligheden for at kunne se den næste krise komme".
They also appreciate the diplomatic efforts made to normalise relations with Armenia but ask that the relevant protocols be ratified.
Kay Swinburne (ECR, UK) sagde, at spredning af statsgælden fører til spekulation på markederne, hvilket efterlader EU særligt eksponeret i krisetider.
In addition, they acknowledge Turkey's role in regional security (Black Sea and Middle-East).
Hun foreslog, at ECB i euroområdet, bør have et overblik over de samlede gældsudstedelser.
MEPs welcome the Signing of the Nabucco Pipeline agreement and call for the opening of the energy chapter in the accession negotiations.
Med henvisning til planerne for at komme ud af krisen, sagde Nikolaos Chountis (GUE / NGL, EL) , at der er behov for at ændre de nuværende modeller, og ikke forsøge at bruge dem igen.
Twelve out of the 35 chapters have so far been opened.
"Der er en katastrofe på vej i Grækenland og i Europa", sagde Nikolaos Salavrakos (EFD, EL), og satte Barroso's vision om at styrke de økonomiske, sociale og arbejdsmæssige bånd mellem medlemsstaterne overfor "virkeligheden i kapital-drevne markeder, hvorfra overskuddet eksporteres uden tøven og giver anledning til spekulation."
Women are still not earning as much as men on average In its annual report on equality between men and women in the EU, Parliament called on Wednesday for greater efforts to tackle violence against women, for paternity leave to be addressed at EU level and for equal pay legislation to be revised.
Ligestilling: MEP'ere kræver bedre bekæmpelse af vold mod kvinder og ret til fædreorlov
A majority of MEPs also say women must have control over their sexual and reproductive rights, through easy access to contraception and abortion.
Ligestilling Rapporten, udarbejdet af Marc Tarabella, (S&D, BE), blev vedtaget med 381 stemmer for, 253 stemmer imod, mens 31 undlod at stemme.
The report, drafted by Belgian Socialist Marc Tarabella, was adopted by 381 votes to 253, with 31 abstentions.
Stop vold mod kvinder
Eradicating violence against women
MEP'erne opfordrede Kommissionen til at udarbejde et forslag til et omfattende direktiv om forebyggelse og bekæmpelse af alle former for vold mod kvinder.
MEPs call on the Commission to draft a comprehensive directive on preventing and combating all forms of violence against women.
Parlamentet opfordrede desuden til at indføre et Europæisk År for bekæmpelse af vold mod kvinder og påpegede i den forbindelse, at næsten én ud af fire kvinder i EU udsættes for fysisk vold og mere end 10% udsættes for seksuel vold.
They call for a European Year of Combating Violence against Women, pointing out that almost one in four women in the EU suffer physical violence and more than 10% sexual violence.
MEP'erne udtrykte også deres støtte til det spanske formandskabs forslag om at indføre beskyttelse af ofrene på europæisk plan og oprette en fælles hotline for ofre.
MEPs also endorse the Spanish Presidency's proposals to introduce an EU-wide "European protection order for victims" and a common EU-wide telephone helpline for victims .
Flere kvinder i toppen
Sexual and reproductive rights
Der bør også gøres mere for at fremme en bedre balance mellem kønnene i ledende stillinger, mener MEP'erne, der peger på den norske regerings beslutning om at øge antallet af kvindelige medlemmer i bestyrelserne for private og offentlige virksomheder til mindst 40%.
Parliament believes recognition of the full physical and sexual autonomy of women is a first step for any policies designed to combat violence against women.
I forhold til Kommissionens sammensætning, opfordrer et flertal i Parlamentet medlemsstaterne til i fremtiden at komme med to kandidater, en af hvert køn, for at lette sammensætningen af en mere repræsentativ Kommissionen.
Women must have control over their sexual and reproductive rights, notably through easy access to contraception and abortion (this point was adopted by 412 votes to 212, with 36 abstentions) and abortion consultations must be free of charge.
Parlamentet beklager, at Kommissionen ikke har reageret på EP's krav om at forelægge et lovforslag om revision af den eksisterende lovgivning om anvendelsen af princippet om lige løn, og beder dem om snarest at fremlægge et sådant forslag
So far, only 16 EU Member States have ratified the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings, which is the strongest European legal instrument in the fight against trafficking in human beings, a modern form of slavery.
Fædres ret til orlov
Establishing paternity leave entitlement
Mens EU har direktiver om barselsorlov og forældreorlov, er der ingen regler for fædreorlov, konstaterer MEP'erne.
The EU has a directive on maternity leave and a directive on parental leave, but no legislation on paternity leave.
Parlamentet opfordrer derfor Kommissionen "til at støtte ethvert initiativ til indførelse af fædreorlov på europæisk plan", og mener, at moderens barselsorlov bør kædes sammen med fædreorloven for at sikre kvinderne bedre på arbejdsmarkedet og for at bekæmpe fordommene i samfundet om denne form for orlov.
The House therefore calls on the Commission "to support any moves to establish paternity-leave entitlement on a Europe-wide basis" and says that maternity and paternity leave should be linked so as to afford better protection to women in the labour market.
Lettere adgang til prævention og abort
MEPs regret that the Social Partners' Framework Agreement on Parental Leave from July 2009 fails to address the issue of paid leave as a way of achieving male-female equality.
Bekæmpelse af menneskehandel
Gender balance in high-level positions
Hidtil har kun 16 EU-medlemsstater ratificeret Europarådets konvention om bekæmpelse af menneskehandel, som er det stærkeste europæiske retlige instrument i kampen mod menneskehandel, en moderne form for slaveri, siger beretning.
A better gender balance in corporate, administrative and political positions of responsibility in the Member States should be encouraged, say MEPs, pointing to the Norwegian Government's decision to increase the rate of female members on the boards of private and public companies to at least 40%.
Parlamentet opfordrer de medlemsstater, der endnu ikke har gjort det (dvs. Tjekkiet, Tyskland, Estland, Irland, Grækenland, Italien, Litauen, Ungarn, Holland, Finland og Sverige) til at ratificere denne konvention.
As to the composition of the Commission, a majority of MEPs call on Member States, in future nominations, to put forward two candidates, one of each gender, so as to facilitate the composition of a more representative Commission.
MEP'ere: Kandidatlande skal fortsætte reformarbejdet
Migrant women
Tyrkiet skal anstrenge sig mere for at opfylde kravene for optagelse i EU, mener MEP'erne.
Migrant women, especially Romani women, regularly experience multiple forms of discrimination and national equality bodies should address this matter, says the report.
De to andre kandidatlande, Kroatien og Den Tidligere Jugoslaviske Republik Makedonien får generelt en positiv bedømmelse i de tre betænkninger om landenes fremskridt mod optagelse i EU, som Parlamentet vedtog onsdag.
MEPs also ask the Member States "to provide social security cover for female workers in domestic and other sectors where it is not available, with a view to promoting the integration of migrants".
For alle tre lande påpeger MEP'erne dog, at de fortsat skal arbejde med overholdelse af grundlæggende rettigheder, herunder behandling af mindretal, ligestilling, godt naboskab samt en aktiv indsats mod korruption og organiseret kriminalitet.
Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality Profile of Rapporteur Press Release "Gender equality means more than an end to violence"
I forhold til Kroatien vurderer MEP'erne i betænkningen af Hannes Swoboda (S&D, AT), at forhandlingerne vil kunne afsluttes allerede i 2010.
Funds to renovate poor housing stock will now be available in Western Europe. ©Belga/AFP/I Huszti Poor communities in all Member States could get EU regional funding for renovation or replacement of their housing, under a regulation approved by the European Parliament on Wednesday.
Kroatien vil dermed kunne indtræde i EU, hvilket vil kunne fremme processen med at integrere resten af det vestlige Balkan.
There are very limited cases in which the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) can be used to finance housing measures.
MEP'erne er dog bekymret over den svigtende tilslutning til EU blandt den kroatiske befolkning.
Until recently only urban housing improvements in the 12 countries that joined the EU in 2004 and 2007 were eligible for ERDF money.
Derfor opfordres Rådet til snarest muligt at åbne forhandlingerne om de sidste kapitler i forhandlingsprocessen.
However, last year the EU amended the ERDF regulation to allow financing energy-efficiency measures in housing in all EU Member States.
Betænkningen blev vedtaget med 582 stemmer for, 24 stemmer imod og 37 hverken for eller imod.
Parliament's report, drafted by Dutch MEP Lambert van Nistelrooij (EPP), was adopted by 588 votes to 57, with 16 abstentions.
Den tidligere Jugoslaviske Republik Makedonien (FYROM)
Adopted text will be available here (click on 10 February) Procedure file Profile of Rapporteur Lambert van Nistelrooij (EPP, NL)
I betænkningen af Zoran Thaler (S&D, SL), som blev vedtaget med 548 stemmer for, 45 imod og 35 hveken for eller imod, støtter MEP'erne et græsk forslag om at tilstræbe at kunne optage lande fra det vestlige Balkan i EU i 2014, hundrede år efter starten på Første Verdenskrig.
Addressing the plenary on the difficult monetary, economic and social situation of eurozone countries, the Council presidency representative Diego López Garrido said "the situation of the public deficit is a clear result of the crisis coupled with strong financial intervention by governments to prevent the collapse of the financial system".
Den symbolske værdi heraf vil være ganske betydelig, og derfor opfordres Rådet til at give Kommissionen tilladelse til snarest muligt at indlede optagelsesforhandlingerne.
On the monetary situation, he said that "despite tension on the stock market, the EU has acted adequately" and "incentives in place should not yet be abandoned".
I forhold til striden om landets navn, beder Parlamentet regeringerne i Den tidligere Jugoslaviske Republik Makedonien og i Grækenland om på højeste niveau at forstærke indsatsen for at finde en løsning på navne-striden, som begge parter kan være tilfredse med.
Fiscal measures, structural reforms and an integrated surveillance mechanism are "the keys to find a solution to present tensions" and to "put Greece back on a sustainable path", said Commissioner Joaquin Almunia , who spelled out the Commission's plans as well as those of Greece.
MEP'erne mener, at EU skal assistere i denne forhandlingsproces.
He expressed the Commission's support for the plan proposed by the Greek government and added: "However, there are risks to the programme targets and medium term fiscal adjustments.
Betænkningen om Tyrkiet er mere kritisk.
Mr Almunia also said that Eurostat must be given more power to audit Member States' statistics.
Det går for langsomt med reformerne, mener MEP'erne i betænkningen af Ria Oomen-Ruijten (PPE, NL), der blev vedtaget ved håndsoprækning.
Concluding the debate, he said that support from Member States would not come for free and Greece must make the necessary efforts in return.
MEP'erne beklager også, at Tyrkiet for fjerde år i træk ikke har implementeret tillægsprotokollen til EF-Tyrkiet associeringsaftalen.
Speaking on behalf of the EPP, Corien Wortmann-Kool (NL) said that her group was fully behind the Commission's approach to dealing with Greece's problems, although this action was coming months later than it should have.
MEP'erne minder, om at optagelsesforhandlingerne, som gik i gang i 2005, er udgangspunktet for en lang og åben proces, hvortil der ikke er sat nogen fast dato for afslutningen.
The problems the eurozone was currently facing made a more rigorous approach to economic governance urgent and stronger coordination of economic policies necessary.
De advarer Tyrkiet om, at det vil kunne skade optagelsesforhandlingerne i betydelig grad, hvis Tyrkiet fortsat nægter at åbne sine havne og lufthavne for Cypern.
The 2020 objective, as set out by President Barroso, is a "thin soup", which urgently needs to be thickened with more economic policy co-ordination, said Udo Bullman (DE) for the S&D group.
