MEP'ere: EU skal koordinere indsatsen i finanskrisen
Coordinated European action needed to tackle financial crisis says the European Parliament
EU skal stå sammen, og der er brug for en koordineret indsats på en række områder for at tackle dem finansielle krise og begrænse dens skadelige virkninger på økonomien, væksten, jobs og små virksomheder.
What the EU need, MEPs say, is a coordinated response on a range of fronts in order to tackle the financial crisis and limit its impact on economic growth, jobs and small businesses.
Det slog MEP'erne fast i et beslutningsforslag vedtaget onsdag med 499 stemmer for, 130 imod og 67 hverken for eller imod.
The resolution was adopted with 499 votes in favour, 130 against and 67 abstentions.
Tirsdag debatterede MEP'erne krisen med den franske præsident og formand for Rådet, Nicolas Sarkozy.
The crisis, says the resolution, has implications beyond financial markets: for business viability, jobs, personal finance and SMEs.
I beslutningsforslaget, som Parlamentet vedtog onsdag, understreger MEP'erne på det kraftigste betydningen af, at Europas makroøkonomiske politikker reagerer hurtigt og meget koordineret for at genskabe global økonomisk vækst, uden at det dog underminerer principperne for stabilitets-pagten.
Parliament stresses the paramount importance of ongoing access to credit for citizens and SMEs and of investments in EU infrastructure to avoid a dramatic downturn in growth and employment.
Bedre tilsyn i fremtiden
Better supervisory structure for the future
MEP'erne glæder sig over, at Kommissionen har nedsat en gruppe på højt plan, der skal opstille en solid og holdbar tilsynsstruktur, og går også ind for oprettelsen af en finansiel kriseenhed.
The Lamfalussy process should be strengthened, including colleges of supervisors for cross-border institutions and a clearer role and legal status for the Level 3 committees (which bring together all the Member States' banking, securities and insurance supervisors).
MEP'erne ønsker desuden, at Kommissionen skal komme med forslag, der kan styrke EU's lovgivnings- og tilsynsmæssige ramme.
Parliament also wants to see proposals drawn up for effective cross-border crisis management.
Lissabon, klimaændringer og energi
Lisbon, climate change, energy, Caucasus conflicts
MEP'erne kommer i beslutningsforslaget også ind på andre emner fra topmødet den 15.-16. oktober.
The resolution also considers other issues arising from the European Council meeting last week.
Parlamentets formand Hans-Gert PÖTTERING sagde som indledning til debatten, at EU under ledelse af den franske præsident havde vist, at man kan stå samlet og handle koordineret.
Introducing the debate, the President of Parliament, Hans-Gert Pöttering , said that in the recent crises, Europe under the leadership of President Sarkozy had shown its ability to take coordinated, collective action.
Georgien, finanskrise, klimapakke og Lissabontraktat
Without such action - and without the existence of the euro - "we would have been in a disastrous situation".
Han understregede, at det var en forfejlet handling, der havde udløst en russisk reaktion, der var 'ude af proportioner'.
While regarding the Russian reaction as "disproportionate", he also stressed it was a "reaction" to a previous "inappropriate" action.
Han påpegede, at det var lykkedes formandskabet at opnå våbenhvile på fire dage, og på to måneder at få trukket tropperne tilbage.
He then described the peace-making efforts carried out by himself on behalf of the EU.
"Vi undgik med nød og næppe katastrofen, men der er lang vej endnu, før spændingerne har lagt sig i den region," sagde Sarkozy.
The Americans had thought "dialogue with the Russians is pointless" but in his view this was folly, since "Europe does not want another Cold War".
Om den finansielle krise sagde Sarkozy, at det, der først var en alvorlig krise, blev til en systemisk krise, da Lehman Brothers gik konkurs.
Turning next to the world financial situation, Mr Sarkozy said "what was a serious crisis became a systemic crisis" with the collapse of Lehman Brothers.
"Europas rolle bør være at frembringe tanken om en omstøbning af kapitalismen - ikke at stille spørgsmålstegn ved ideen bag markedsøkonomien," sagde han.
He had proposed to the UN General Assembly the creation of a "new global financial system" or "new Bretton Woods".
"Ingen finansiel institution må kunne virke uden at være underkastet finansielle bestemmelser, og vi må undgå et system, hvor tradernes bonusordninger får dem til at tage overdrevne risici," sagde Sarkozy.
The aim must be to "overhaul capitalism", not "by questioning the idea of a market economy" but observing certain principles: no bank working with state money must work with tax havens, all financial institutions must be subject to financial regulation, traders' bonus structures must not push them to take undue risks, and the monetary system must be rethought.
"Jeg vil nødig se, at de europæiske borgere vågner op om nogle måneder og opdager, at de europæiske virksomheder er blevet opkøbt af udenlandsk kapital til børsens laveste priser", sagde Sarkozy.
Elsewhere in his speech, Mr Sarkozy returned to the financial crisis, saying it was undoubtedly now leading to an economic crisis and this too would require a "united European response".
Fremtiden for energi - og klimapakken
No backsliding on energy/climate change
Da vi gik i gang med arbejdet med denne pakke, gjorde vi det ud fra en bevidsthed om vores ansvar over for vores børn og planetens fremtid.
Referring to the 20/20/20 targets, he described "respect for the climate change objectives" and "respect for the timetable" as essential.
Det er en strukturel politik, der er en historisk politik, og det vil være dramatisk at fravige denne politik under påskud af finanskrisen," sagde Sarkozy.
Turning to the EU Immigration Pact, the French president said this was "a great example of European democracy" as, despite initial differences, the EU had agreed on a joint policy.
Det franske formandskab er derfor ved at optegne en køreplan for at finde en løsning på spørgsmålet om den irske ratificering af Lissabontraktaten inden topmødet i december.
The French presidency was thus looking to a roadmap to find a solution by December to the question of Irish ratification of the Lisbon Treaty.
"Europa er i stand til at få indflydelse på den internationale løsning af krisen, " sagde Barroso. og understregede, at Camp David-aftalen viser, hvad Europa kan opnå, hvis man står sammen.
President of the European Commission José Manuel Barroso said Mr Sarkozy's handling of the crisis had shown him as "dynamic as only he can be" and welcomed the fact that Europe was now working hand in hand with the US.
Og glem ikke de små og mellemstore virksomheder
He said the Commission would be looking at executive pay and derivatives.
Han roste særligt formandskabet og Nicolas Sarkozy for indsatsen i Georgien.
He said, "It is in economic crises that we develop rules for the future.
I taler alle sammen som socialdemokrater
He concluded that ahead we face many major issues together: climate, energy, defence.
Martin SCHULZ (PSE, DE) var imponeret over den hurtige reaktion fra både Sarkozy og Barroso.
For the Socialist group, Martin SCHULZ (DE) was impressed by the recent resolute action of both President Sarkozy and Barroso.
Med henvisning til mødet med Præsident Bush i Camp David kaldte han det et historisk øjeblik, at et stærkt Europa står over for 'den dårligste præsident nogensinde'.
However, he felt we need to make full use of the current crisis to make sure we never again suffer such a disaster in the financial markets which has triggered a disaster in the real economy.
"I det vakuum, der er opstået, har Europa nu muligheden for at skabe en ny socialøkonomisk løsning i verden, " sagde Martin Schulz.
Mr Schulz noted that in this debate Messrs Sarkozy, Daul, Barroso all spoke the language of true European Social Democracy."
Hvad med Parlamentet?
We should all be working towards sustainability.
Graham WATSON (ALDE, UK) takkede for formandskabets varme ord om at arbejde sammen med Parlamentet, men undrede sig over, hvorfor der i Rådskonklusionerne kun var henvist til Kommissionen og Rådet.
"Thank you for these warm and encouraging words about working hand in hand", said Graham Watson (UK), for the ALDE group, "but why do the Council conclusions refer only to the Commission and the Council?
"Hvorfor er der ingen reference til Parlamentet i afsnittet om klimaændringer f. eks.,? "
Why, for example, under climate change, is there no reference to the Parliament?"
"Siden Berlin-murens fald er 50 millioner mennesker blevet løftet ud af fattigdom, men i dag kan vi se, hvad der sker, når markederne mangler gennemsigtighed," sagde Watson, der understregede, at det var vigtigt at få en global aftale om tilsyn med finansmarkederne.
"Since the Berlin wall fell, 50 million people have been lifted out of poverty, but today we are seeing what happens when markets lack transparency", said Mr Watson, welcoming the fact that co-ordinated measures had alleviated the immediate pressures.
Kriser skal løses samlet
"Supervision is still the missing piece of the jigsaw", he said.
Daniel COHN-BENDIT (Verts/ALE, DE) mente, at energi og viljestyrke er nødvendig i politik, og at præsident Sarkozy havde udvist megen energi.
"Energy and willpower are required in politics, and are good for Europe", agreed Daniel Cohn-Bendit (Greens/EFA, DE), for his group.
Cohn-Bendit understregede, at alle kriserne - finanskrisen, klimakrisen og fødevarekrisen - hænger sammen og derfor skal løses samlet.
He stressed that all the crises - financial, environmental and hunger worldwide - are interdependent, and must be tackled together.
"Disse kriser opstod ikke i juli eller august, men for år tilbage," sagde han og opfordrede Europas ledere til at være mere selvkritiske.
"These crises did not start in July or August, but years ago", he said in a reference to Mr Sarkozy's speech.
"Det ville være troværdigt med en anelse selvkritik fra en tidligere fransk minister og en kommissionsformand, der for et år siden afviste reguleringer," sagde Cohn-Bendit.
"It was calls for unbridled growth and the rejection of financial market regulation a year ago that led us into these crises", he said, urging Europe's leaders to be "more self-critical".
Tak for asyl og immigrationsaftale
He urged Mr Sarkozy to press for tax havens to be obliged to declare the country of origin of these funds.
Cristiana MUSCARDINI (UEN, IT) var 100 % enig med Sarkozys forslag, og takkede det Europæiske Råd for aftalen om asyl og immigration.
For the UEN group, Cristiana MUSCARDINI (IT) said she agreed 100% with the statements and proposals made by French President Nicholas Sarkozy and thanked the Council for the immigration pact and the asylum pact, "common sectors which are important to us all".
"Verdenskapitalismen skal laves om, og der skal være et system, der kan forbinde det liberale med det sociale," sagde hun.
However, she called on certain "Commissioners, including competition Commissioners "to do the right thing".
Francis WURTZ (GUE/NGL, FR) mente, at det var første gang Parlamentet har skullet forholde sig til en så flersidet krise, og han påpegede, at selv om det ikke er de fattige landes skyld, så er det dem, der lider.
Mrs Muscardini said a united, if not equal, Europe, would help to pinpoint strategies to solve the crisis, which she called "systemic" and "in order to combat a systemic crisis we need a new system".
Han understregede, at det var selve den økonomiske model, det er galt med.
She added that the European Central Bank "could have done more" to help banks that have and are "failing".
"Det er ikke en ulykke, der kommer udefra.
Francis WURTZ (FR), on behalf of the GUE/NGL group, warned that the "worst is still to come" of this "multidimensional crisis of such scale and seriousness".
Kilden til branden er måske fra New York, men brændstoffet var overalt og dem, som har indført den model, må nu stå til regnskab overfor borgerne," sagde Wurtz.
The dimensions may be "unfathomable", but the crisis still needs to be debated.
"Det vi gør nu, er kun små ændringer.
The "shock" of this crisis is being felt everywhere and "we have a drop in public expenditure and plans for privatising public services are ahead," he said.
Det er selve modellen, der skal skiftes ud," sagde han og mente, at der skal et nyt Bretton Woods system til at løse konflikten.
Mr Wurtz continued, "We need to be held accountable to our citizens", adding that this cannot be avoided, by introducing regulation or "doing away with golden handshakes".
Vi skal støtte nationale interesser
"We must attack the roots of this evil" and we need a "new Bretton Woods".
Nigel FARAGE (IND/DEM, UK) mente, at da Sarkozy tog til Georgien, var det ikke på vegne af EU, da der ikke havde været noget møde før.
According to Nigel FARAGE (UK) of the Independence and Democracy group, when President Sarkozy went to Georgia he was "not acting for the EU" as "there had been no meeting".
"De gjorde det som præsident for Frankrig," sagde han.
"You did it as the President of France".
"Vi har ikke brug for flere regler, og vi skal i stedet støtte vores nationale interesser," sagde han.
We need to act in our national interest.
Le Pen forudså krisen...
The Swiss can and they have the adaptability, to weather the financial crisis better than EU states."
Bruno GOLLNISCH (NI, FR): "Vi diskuterer lige nu den lindring, man kan give den syge - men der er ingen, der taler om, hvad krisen blev udløst af.
The speaker from the non-aligned MEPs, Bruno GOLLNISCH (FR), said "We are looking at part of things here but we are quiet on the causes.
Barroso skal give lovgivning i julegave
British and Irish speakers
Poul Nyrup RASMUSSEN (PSE, DK) mente, at det var en krise, der kunne have været undgået, men at det er vigtigt nu at holde fast i den dynamik, formandskabet havde udvist.
Linda McAVAN (PES, UK) said it was not time to abandon climate change ambitions, adding that the socialists want "a credible agreement that balances environment, jobs and competitiveness" by Christmas and in time for international talks.
"Inden jul har vi brug for julegave, Barroso.
"Let's have the political courage," she said.
Han nævnte endelig sit forslag om, at medlemslandene skal koordinere deres investeringer, hvorigennem 10 millioner nye job kunne skabes.
Moreover, "Over-regulation could precipitate something much worse, a re-run of the 1930's slump".

Hvilket lands regler skal gælde ved skilsmisse?
MEPs approve new EU trade Commissioner Catherine Ashton (UK)
Europa-Parlamentet bakker op om reglerne og foreslog tirsdag et par forbedringer.
Parliament's vote was 538 in favour to 40 against and 63 abstentions.
Danmark deltager på grund af det retlige forbehold ikke.
Baroness Ashton faced a hearing at the European Parliament on Monday (20 October).
Det kan være loven i det land, hvor de sidst var bosat, loven i det land, hvor en af ægtefællerne har statsborgerskab, loven i et land de har boet i mindst fem år, eller loven i det medlemsland, hvor sagen rejses.
MEPs questioned Baroness Ashton on the future of the Doha round, the financial crisis, bilateral negotiations - and on her own experience.
MEP'erne foreslår, at også loven i det land de blev gift i, skal kunne gælde.
Baroness Ashton will be Commissioner until the end of the current Commission's mandate - 31 October 2009.

Nyt Erasmus Mundus-program vedtaget
European Parliament ensures temporary agency workers gain equal rights - UK workers after 12 weeks
Parlamentet vedtog tirsdag med stort flertal en aftale om programmet, der skal sikres, at nationale regler vedrørende brugerbetaling respekteres.
According to the agreement between the CBI, TUC and the UK government, equal treatment will be defined to mean at least the basic working and employment conditions that would apply to the workers concerned if they had been recruited directly by that undertaking to occupy the same job.
Spørgsmålet om studieafgifterne
UK speakers in the debate on Monday 20 October in Strasbourg
Sammenslutningerne af universiteter, der udbyder de særlige Erasmus Mundus programmer, kan ifølge aftalen vælge at fastsætte en studieafgift.
On behalf of the Greens/EFA Group, Jean LAMBERT (UK) welcomed the agreement, saying she looked forward to its rapid implementation because it is a "step forward to a social Europe".
Disse afgifter skal dog fastsættes i overensstemmelse med gældende nationale regler.
"I think it is very important that in the current climate we are actually making progress on workers’ rights."
Det er en formulering, som ordføreren Marielle DE SARNEZ (ALDE, FR) understregede, var blevet til i tæt samarbejde med den danske repræsentation i Bruxelles for at undgå problemer med netop den danske lov mod brugerbetaling på universiteterne.
Speaking for the IND/DEM Group, Derek Roland CLARK (UK) wondered why the report , which had been "batted to and fro between the Commission and the Council" for six years, was being passed to the Parliament like a "hot potato" when "it is a bad move".
Mere afbalanceret deltagelse og lettere at opnå visa
"It makes our labour markets less competitive and less flexible.
I aftalen, som er blevet indgået med Rådet, har MEP'erne blandt andet insisteret på, at fordelingen af studerende skal være mere afbalanceret.
It damages our economies at the very time we can least afford to have them damaged," he said, later adding, "You could not ask for a clearer example of the way the EU subverts democracy in Member States."
I dag er det fortrinsvis studerende fra Asien, der deltager i programmet, og fra nogle lande er der meget stor uligevægt i fordelingen mellem mænd og kvinder.
"I think there is a moral for us as politicians here that, when the stakeholders themselves say that this is what they want, I do think we have a responsibility to try and facilitate that wherever possible."
Derfor mener MEP'erne, at der er brug for at sikre mere balance i, hvem der deltager.
Mr Bushill-Matthews went on to thank the Minister for his reminder that the "Council put together this common position", adding that the message of this dossier is "let us move on".
I aftalen med Rådet er der også lagt vægt på, at procedurerne for at opnå visa skal forenkles, da det nogle gange kan være med til at forhindre studerende i at komme til Europa.
Richard HOWITT (PES; UK) said he was "delighted" to have voted on, supported and campaigned for this directive, which was a "key priority for the Labour Government", for three reasons.
I Danmark udbyder Aalborg Universitet, Roskilde Universitetscenter, DTU, Landbohøjskolen, Århus universitet, Københavns Universitet og Danmarks pædagogiske universitetsskole Erasmus Mundus programmer.
Second, "abuses" by unregulated agencies" will end, and finally, "we have a social partnership agreement, rarely seen in Britain, between the British TUC and the Confederation of British Industry (CBI)".
Baggrund: Tre indsatsområder
Agreement after six years
Erasmus Mundus programmet har eksisteret siden 2004.
(Article 3 of the Common Position).
