"Vi må have en kreativ tilgang, som kan hjælpe vores økonomier med at komme ud af den blindgyde, vi er kommet ind i."
You have the opportunity to propose a new visionary document that includes a real common denominator of the Member States interests."
Desuden mente han, at EU bør opbygge en enhed, der ikke lider under at man føler sig mindreværdig over for USA eller andre stater.
This will not prove popular among heads of states, she said, but "you will gain the respect of citizens, who are ignored too often".
Små lande kan lede EU
British and Irish speakers
Vladimír ŽELEZNÝ (IND/DEM, CZ) mente, at Tjekkiet har alle forudsætninger for at lave et godt formandskab.
Kathy SINNOTT (IND/DEM, IE) said that the Czech Presidency had spelled out an ambitious programme.
"Vi skal nu vise, at også små lande kan lede Den Europæiske Union.
Such a programme, she said, requires respect between Member States.
Vi har selvfølgelig den fordel, at vi ikke er megalomane, vi er ikke hysteriske eller barnagtige som andre formandskaber vi har set."
It also requires respect for the peoples of those Member States to have any hope of success.
Nej til Lissabon-traktaten
Andrew DUFF (ALDE, UK) put four questions to the President-in-Office.
Jana BOBOŠÍKOVÁ (NI, CZ) var stolt over, hvor dygtig det tjekkiske formandskab var i spørgsmålet om gasforsyninger til EU.
Noting that the Czech Presidency states that it is doing all it can to enlarge the EU and to admit Croatia, Gary TITLEY (PES, UK) questioned why then can it not ratify the Lisbon Treaty?
Hun mente desuden, at man bør afholde sig fra at fremme en ratificering af Lissabon-traktaten.
"After all, the Czech presidency agreed to it and, therefore, should fulfil its obligations."
"De bør have modet til at fortælle de andre stats- og regeringschefer, hvad de siger til dit land derhjemme."
What we need at the moment, Mr Titley said, is leadership, and "what I have seen so far has taught me that the sooner we get a full-time president of the Council the better, because it is only coherent European action that will deliver security to Europe, will deliver world influence and deliver economic recovery.

Grundlæggende rettigheder
Too many violations of fundamental rights in the EU, MEPs say
Torsdag under samlingen i Strasbourg blev en betænkning om grundlæggende rettigheder i EU i 2004-2008 vedtaget med 401 stemmer for, 220 imod og 67 hverken for eller imod.
By adopting the report drafted by Giusto Catania (GUE/NGL, IT) by 401 votes in favour, 220 against and 67 abstentions, MEPs address fundamental rights in its various aspects, voicing recommendations on a broad range of issues like discrimination, immigration, social rights or gender equality.
Ordføreren er Giusto CATANIA (GUE/NGL, IT)
Excesses in the fight against terrorism
En lignende betænkning om emnet blev afvist af plenarsamlingen i 2004, og derfor havde Udvalget om Borgernes Rettigheder og Retlige og Indre Anliggender denne gang sigtet mod et bredt kompromis, som i Udvalget forud for plenarsamlingen blev vedtaget med 29 stemmer for, 7 imod og 7 hverken for eller imod.
MEPs point out that over these last few years, the fight against terrorism has often served to diminish the level of protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms, notably the right to privacy, data protection and freedom from discrimination.
Desuden mener den, at "ytringsfriheden og pressens uafhængighed er universelle rettigheder, der ikke kan kompromitteres af nogen enkeltperson eller gruppe, som måtte føle sig angrebet af det, der siges eller skrives."
However, they welcome the statement by US President-Elect Barack Obama on closing the Guantanamo Bay detention facility and bringing the inmates to trial and call on Member States to declare their readiness to jointly find solutions for remaining inmates.
Romaers rettigheder
Reproductive rights
Desuden ønskes en samlet menneskerettigheds- og handlingsorienteret tilgang til ikke-forskelsbehandling.
MEPs point to the "segregation" faced by Roma people in Member States and the "widespread anti-Roma sentiments" leading to "frequent denial of their rights by public authorities and their political under-representation".
I den forbindelse bør der laves en europæisk rammestrategi om integration af romaer.
They call on the Member States to "take measures to put an end to the practice of unofficial marriage of minors, often at a very young age".
Afstemning om situationen i Gaza
Gaza: European Parliament calls for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and a negotiated truce
Debat om Gaza Torsdag vedtog Europa-Parlamentet en beslutning om situationen i Gaza, som støtter den netop vedtagne FN-resolution og erklærer, at både Israel og Hamas ikke har mødt FN's anmodning om at stoppe fjendtlighederne.
EP calls for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and a negotiated truce In adopting a resolution on the situation in the Gaza strip, MEPs call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire which should include the halt to rocket attacks by Hamas on Israel and the end of Israel's military action in Gaza.
En øjeblikkelig våbenhvile var blandt hovedkravene fra MEP'erne i debatten forud for afstemningen, som fandt sted onsdag eftermiddag.
MEPs call for a negotiated truce that should be guaranteed by a mechanism which could include the dispatching of a multinational presence.
Parlamentet mener, at Rådet bør samarbejde med den nyvalgte amerikanske administration om at afslutte krisen.
The European Parliament calls on Hamas to end rocket attacks and to assume its own responsibilities by committing itself to a political process aimed at restoring inter-Palestinian dialogue and contributing to the ongoing process of negotiation.
Formandskabet: humanitær hjælp nødvendig
Debate - Wednesday, 14 January 2009
Den tjekkiske udenrigsminister, Karel SCWARZENBERG talte på vegne af formandskabet og Det Europæiske Råd.
In the debate on Wednesday, the vast majority of speakers called for an immediate ceasefire and a negotiated truce.
Han gav udtryk for sin kondolence overfor ofrenes familier.
They also express their sympathy for the civilian population affected by the violence in Gaza and in Southern Israel.
Han påpegede manglen på humanitær hjælp.
He described the humanitarian crisis in detail and pointed out that "since 4 November of last year, foreign NGO personnel have not been allowed access to Gaza to deliver and monitor humanitarian aid properly".
Kun 55 lastbiler kan passere grænsen hver dag, og behovet er formentlig på 5000.
The minister believed that "The outlines of a solution to the crisis have started to emerge.
Han mente, at internationale missioner skal sikre overholdelse af en våbenhvile, og at man i den forbindelse "skal have systematisk kontrol med alle grænsekrydsninger" for at undgå våbensmugling.
In addition, "The deployment of an international mission to monitor implementation of the ceasefire and to act as a liaison between the two sides could be helpful.
Måske snarlig våbenhvile
European Commission
Kommissær Benita FERRERO-WALDNER beklagede, at krisen nu raser på tredje uge.
The Gaza conflict is now in its third week, and every day the statistics worsen", said External Relations Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner , citing evidence of extreme burns, acute shortages of food and medicine, and the destruction of homes and infrastructure.
"Krige giver altid mange menneskelige lidelser, og denne er ingen undtagelse."
Immense human suffering has been caused both by Hamas' rockets and Israel's military action, she added.
Hun mente, at krigen underminerer det arabiske fredsperspektiv, hvilket kan have en potentiel negativ indflydelse på stabiliteten i hele regionen.
Beyond its immediate impact, the conflict "pushes the prospect of peace ever further away", and "has a negative impact stability throughout the region", she continued.
Hun mente desuden, at EU havde vist megen diplomatisk handlekraft og bød FN-resolutionen velkommen, ligesom hun havde roser til den rolle, som Egypten og Tyrkiet har spillet.
The EU Troika had "prepared the way" for the ceasefire plan tabled by France's President Sarkozy, who now chairs the Security Council, and their co-ordinated diplomacy had helped to achieve temporary ceasefire "lulls" to allow in humanitarian aid, she said.
Hun mente, at der måske er en våbenhvile i stand "om et par dage".
"Maybe, in a few days, we shall have a real ceasefire" she said.
Til trods for, at Europa-Kommissionen har brugt mange humanitære midler allerede, vil flere blive brugt fremover.
In the long run, the conflict would weaken confidence between Palestine and Israel, she added, stressing the need to resume talks for a negotiated political settlement as soon as hostilities cease.
Øjeblikkelig våbenhvile
Political group speakers
José Ignacio SALAFRANCA SÁNCHEZ-NEYRA (PPE-DE, ES) talte på vegne af sin gruppe om de mange uskyldige civile, som er blevet ramt af angrebene i Gaza.
"Seventeen days' fighting have left a deeply depressing balance sheet, of destruction, chaos, hatred, and vengeance", said José Ignacio SALAFRANCA SÁNCHEZ-NEYRA (EPP-ED, ES), adding that "you can win all the battles except the most important one, which is for peace".
"Det vigtigste lige nu er at få øjeblikkelig våbenhvile og afhjælpe den forfærdelige humanitære situation," sagde han.
"Israel is a friend of ours," he said, "but that makes it all the more important that we can talk to them about controversial aspects of these matters."
Med venner diskuterer man kontroversielle emner
"Neither terrorism nor conventional weaponry will find a solution; this must come from international mediation," he said.
Martin SCHULZ (PSE, DE) understregede, at det er en svær debat, fordi Israel er et land, som mange lande opfatter som en ven.
Annemie NEYTS-UYTTEBROECK (BE) speaking for the ALDE group, said that an international force may well be needed to end this conflict and urged the EU to participate in such a force.
"Men det er vigtigt at kunne tale åbent med venner om kontroversielle emner," sagde han.
For the Greens/EFA, Daniel COHN-BENDIT (FR) said hope for peace and security is "evaporating very quickly", adding that security has to be nurtured.
På 17 dage har konflikten krævet 1000 ofre," påpegede Schultz.
"We are not being effective," she said.
"Israel har ret til at forsvare sig, men en demokratisk retsstat bør spørge sig selv, om midlerne står i fornuftigt forhold til truslen.
"We need to understand with absolute clarity that this war, and Israel's attempt to solve things militarily, won't help Israel, it will put an end to Israel as a moral force."
Humanitær hjælpe skal frem
It is supported by the Muslim movement in Iran.
Hun mente, at en international styrke kan være en mulighed.
We need to find a two people - two state solution, he said.
Også situationen på Vestbredden skal forbedres mente hun.
A military solution simply won't be workable and viable.
Advarsel mod hykleri
British and Irish speakers
Hun mente, at terrorismen var hovedårsagen til krisen og mente ikke, at de mange civile dødsofre kan retfærdiggøre dialog med terrorister.
And when after much forbearance, he said, Israel hits back, they cry victim.
Flere ofre, mindre sikkerhed
Yes, the Hamas rockets must stop.
"Jo flere civile, man slår ihjel - des mindre sikkerhed vil man få i området," sagde Daniel COHN-BENDIT (Verts/ALE, DE), og mente at håbet om en fred og sikkerhed svinder ind. Han mente, at det var vigtigt både at beskytte Israel overfor fristelsen for en krig - og beskytte palæstinenserne mod Hamas.
I have said so to Hamas representatives in Gaza myself before now, but let us have no more sanctimonious talk from Israeli officials about the need to fight terrorism, because Palestinians being bombed could name terrorists and they would name Olmert, Livni and Barak."
Han advarede EU's ministre om, at en 'opgradering' af forholdet til Israel ikke er vejen frem.
"We give a green light to Israel to proceed as it would wish and we have compounded that failure by ignoring the lessons of history.
Øjenvidne beretninger chokerer
We do not plan to condemn Israel: we intend to reward it.
"Hamas vil sige de har vundet, Israel vil sige de har vundet.
Israel certainly has the right to defend itself but it has gone much too far with these attacks which are immoral and the international community cannot condone them.
I virkeligheden er det os, der er døde."
There is no excuse, she said, there is no possible justification.
Støtte fra Iran
This must stop, he concluded.
Bastiaan BELDER (IND/DEM, NL) sagde, at Palæstina er islamistisk territorium støttet af Iran.
There is, he said, an issue of respect for international humanitarian law.
"De ved at de får 100 % støtte fra Iran - og i den optik er der slet ikke plads til den jødiske stat Israel i Mellemøsten," sagde Belder, som mente, at en våbentilstand for Hamas kun ville være en kort pause i deres mangeårige kamp for at ødelægge Israel.
"Human Rights Watch and Islamic Relief have told me that the three-hour daily pause is simply woefully inadequate to get in and to distribute aid.
To-statsløsning er vigtig
It is an issue of proportionality.
Luca ROMAGNOLI (NI, IT) sagde, at de fleste medlemmer ville gå ind for opfordringerne til fred.
Geoffrey VAN ORDEN (EPP-ED, UK) expressed his deepest sympathy to all the innocent people, both in Israel and in Gaza, who have suffered in recent weeks and months as conflict rages.
"Vi må ikke glemme at finde en løsning med to stater.
We need a Marshall Plan for the Middle East.
Man kommer aldrig frem til en varig løsning med våben og slet ikke i det hellige land," sluttede han.
Colleagues wanting to break Hamas with military means alone, go and see Gaza and the West Bank.
Auken: Israel opfylder ikke sin del af aftalen
The numbers speak for themselves: over 900 Palestinians have been killed in contrast to a much smaller number of Israelis.
