In addition, the House is of the view that "in the long run, the solution regarding the future status of Kosovo lies also in the fact that both Serbia and Kosovo are due to become part of the EU, together with their neighbours, since the future of the Western Balkans lies in the European Union."
EU som gulerod
The EU's role
Parlamentet mener, at løsningen vedrørende Kosovos fremtidige status "på lang sigt vil fungere, idet både Serbien og Kosovo har udsigt til fuldt medlemskab af EU sammen med deres nabolande".
Finally, the report stated that "the EP is prepared to make available the additional resources required in order to finance the future EU involvement in Kosovo with a view to implementing the status settlement."

Som en del af den tredje maritime sikkerhedspakke - også kaldet Erika III - vedtog Parlamentet torsdag to ud af syv lovgivningsforslag, som Kommissionen har fremsat.
The European Parliament adopted two reports designed to raise standards of maritime safety.
Det er det, den tredje lovgivningspakke om maritim sikkerhed skal råde bod på.
The recent accidents off the UK coast and in the Messina straits further underline the need for more robust safety rules.
To af de syv lovforslag, der blev behandlet i Europa-Parlamentets transportudvalg den 27. februar, er nu blevet vedtaget af Parlamentet.
Boosting the effectiveness of existing safety measures is the key aim of the European Commission's "third maritime safety package", upon which the committee approved its seven reports - all almost unanimously - on 27 February.
Flagstaternes forpligtelser
Flag state obligations - Rapporteur Marta Vincenzi (PES, IT)
Som det er nu, er der nogle medlemsstater, som ikke overholder disse forpligtelser fuldt ud, og det skaber problemer og skævvridninger i forhold til de andre lande, som overholder reglerne.
The general principle is that the safety of Community shipping and of citizens using it, and of operators providing shipping services, and the protection of the environment should be ensured at all times.
Da de internationale bestemmelser ikke er bindende, er der heller ikke mulighed for sanktioner.
Members think that the Codes of Safe Practices for Ships Carrying Timber Deck Cargoes and for Safe Practice for Solid Bulk Cargoes should be incorporated in all the seven directives in the third maritime package because of their special risks for maritime safety.
Kommissionen mener, at reglerne skal gøres til bindende EU-regler.
Bulk carriers, for instance, have proved to be one of the most dangerous types of vessels and timber cargoes were prone to shift in rough seas.
Desuden ønsker Kommissionen at fastsætte mindstekrav til inspektørernes kvalifikationer og retningslinjer for inspektionerne.
MEPs also want the Member States to develop data exchange systems to help prevent and resolve accidents and deficiencies.
Mens Parlamentet støtter Kommissionens forslag, møder det modstand i Rådet, hvor nogle medlemslande ikke mener, at EU har kompetence på det område.
Parliament took the view that ample information should be included in these databases such as classification and certification, outcome of the Port State control inspections, on casualties and on infringements of IMO conventions, in particular on ship-source pollution.
Parlamentet mener, at landene skal sikre, at de skibe der sejler under deres flag, opfylder de internationale regler - og at skibene kan dokumentere det, når det søger første gang.
Finally, amendments were adopted regarding appropriate corrective measures for those companies which did not comply with Community standards and international rules.
Hvem betaler, når det går galt?
Civil liability - Rapporteur Gilles Savary (PES, FR)
I Europa i dag er størstedelen af redernes erstatningsansvarsordninger i forhold til skader, der forvoldes af skibe mod en tredjepart, ikke harmoniserede, og der findes ingen obligatoriske forsikringsordninger.
At present, for most damage by ships to third parties, civil liability regimes for ship-owners in Europe are not harmonised and no compulsory insurance scheme exists.
Det forsøger direktivet om redernes erstatningsansvar at råde bod på.
The draft directive seeks to put in place "core" rules, common to all Member States, governing civil liability, insurance for ship-owners and the liability of any person responsible for operating a ship.
Forslaget har til formål at gennemføre fælles minimumsregler for alle medlemsstater med hensyn til erstatningsansvar ved at sikre, at den internationale søfartsorganisation, IMO's LLM-konvention fra 1996 bliver ratificeret af alle medlemslande og indarbejdet i EU-lovgivningen.
At the vote this morning, Parliament took the view that protecting European costs involved the dual aspects of preventing accidents by ensuring that only safe ships sail and of providing that victims can, in as short a time as possible, receive fully commensurate with the damage caused by an accident. (am 2).

Forordning om økologiske produkter sendt tilbage til udvalget
Proposed rules on organic food products sent back to Agriculture Committee
MEP'erne gik torsdag ind for strengere regler i forhold til økologi og mere indflydelse.
The report was therefore sent back to the EP Agriculture Committee for reconsideration.
Parlamentet ønsker at nedsætte grænserne for, hvor meget utilsigtet GMO, der skal tolereres i de økologiske varer til 0,1 %.
The House voted by 585 votes to 35, with 38 abstentions, for the regulation to be made subject to the EP-Council co-decision procedure since it covers the production and distribution of processed food in the single market (which comes under co-decision) and not just agricultural produce (which comes under the consultation procedure).
Da Kommissionen ikke vil gøre dette til et område for fælles beslutningstagning, valgte Parlamentet ikke at stemme om den endelige rapport.
Faced with the Commission's refusal to change the legal basis of the regulation, Parliament decided to give itself more time to convince the Commission by referring the matter back to its Agriculture Committee (an option available under Rule 53 of the EP's Rules of Procedure).
På den måde holdes beslutningsprocessen åben, mens Parlamentet håber på at kunne forhandle med Rådet.
Under the consultation procedure, the Council cannot adopt its position until Parliament has decided on its own stance through a plenary vote.
Derfor mener Parlamentet, at det skal være omfattet af den fælles beslutningstagen, hvor Parlamentet - modsat i landbrugsspørgsmål - er medlovgiver på lige for med ministrene.
However, by 324 votes to 282, with 50 abstentions, MEPs today backed an amendment seeking to reduce the threshold to 0.1% in the case of organic products.
Eftersom landbrugskommissær Mariann Fischer Boel under debatten onsdag aften gjorde det klart, at Kommissionen ikke vil ændre retsgrundlaget og dermed proceduren, ønsker Parlamentet at have mere tid til forhandle med Rådet.
They also called, by a narrow majority, for the Commission to propose by 1 January 2008 a directive providing for precautionary measures to prevent GMO contamination throughout the food chain, with clear rules on liability and application of the "polluter-pays" principle.
Selv om Parlamentet kun har høringsret i dette spørgsmål, kan Rådet ikke afslutte lovgivningsprocessen uden Parlamentets input.
Parliament also voted to spell out more clearly the fact that there is a ban on "GMOs and products produced from or with GMOs" in organic farming, and that there are no exceptions, even for veterinary medicinal products.
Parlamentet ønsker også, at et EU-økomærke skal være obligatorisk, men at det blot skal have betegnelsen "økologisk" - ikke "EU-økologisk".
In addition, Member States must ensure that their inspection systems enable products to be traced through all stages of production, preparation and distribution, so as to guarantee consumers that organic products have been produced in line with the new rules.

Parlamentets egen-initiativbetænkning om EU's indtægter kommer i forbindelse med, at EU-Kommissionen senere på året vil komme med forslag til reform af EU’s budgetter.
There would be a second stage, starting in 2014, based on a yet-to-be-determined system of levies, although this would not be a real "European tax".
Parlamentet lægger i betænkningen af Alain LAMASSOURE (PPE-DE, FR) vægt på, at der skal være mere lighed i den måde, medlemsstaterne betaler til EU.
With the European Commission due to publish its initial proposals for the revision of the budget in a few months' time, MEPs express their views on the "revenue" side of the Community's finances in an own-initiative report drafted by Alain LAMASSOURE (EPP-ED, FR).
Der skal på sigt gøres mere for, at EU kan få sine egne indtægter, selvom en egentlig EU-skat ikke kommer på tale, og det bliver slået fast, at skatten er og bliver et nationalt anliggende.
The budget review, scheduled for 2008-09, will deal with both revenue and expenditure.
Det skal være et system, der skal baseres på lighed mellem medlemslandene, forenkling af udformningen og solidaritet og ligeværdighed mellem medlemsstaterne.
Stage one: equality, simplicity and solidarity
Parlamentet mener, at reglen om enstemmighed i skattespørgsmål komplicerer forholdene yderligere.
In the first, transitional, stage the system would be based on the GNI resource, as proposed by Finland in 2004.
Parlamentet ønsker at afskaffe momsindtægten i dens nuværende form for at gøre systemet mere gennemskueligt.
This resource is less visible to the general public but is more equitable in relating contributions to the general level of prosperity.
I den forbindelse står det også klart, at den britiske rabat-ordning ikke holder vand, og Parlamentet foreslår, at den bliver nedsat gradvist og helt afskaffet fra 2013.
The British rebate would be abolished by 2013.
Parlamentet afviser enhver renationalisering af den fælles landbrugspolitik, og nedstemte i den forbindelse et forslag om, at der inden for de 15 ’gamle’ EU-lande skulle gøres brug af en obligatorisk medfinansiering af landbrugsstøtten.
Through the abolition of the VAT resource, the United Kingdom would "benefit" from the loss of its rebate.
MEP’erne understreger, at sammenhængen mellem udgifter og indtægter bør indgå i udformningen af et nyt system.
As to the Common Agricultural Policy, MEPS stress that the link between revenue and expenditure should form an aspect of the considerations concerning the changeover to a new system.
Den første fase kan, mener MEP’erne, indledes efter ratificeringen af den nye aftale.
The first of these, "equality between Member States", should ensure that no Member State enjoys any budgetary privileges.
Fase to: et nyt system med egne udgifter
Stage two: an own resource for the European Union
Selv om målet med fase to er at sikre et system med egne indtægter, understreger Parlamentet, at en EU-skat ikke er på tale.
The new system will, under no circumstances, grant the European Union the right to levy taxes.
Der vil med andre ord ikke blive rørt ved medlemslandenes suverænitet i forhold til at inddrive skatter.
Fiscal sovereignty will remain with the Member States who might, however, authorise the Union for a limited period (to be revoked at any time), to benefit directly from a certain share of a tax, as happens with regional or local authorities in most Member States.
MEP’erne foreslår dog, at landene kan tillade, at EU drager direkte fordel af en bestemt andel af en skat i lighed med en kommunal eller regional skat.
The new system "must not increase overall public expenditure nor the tax burden for the citizens".
På den måde kan borgerne lettere se, evt. i deres skatteopgørelser, hvor meget de betaler til EU.
If it directly allocates part of a tax to the European Union, "an equivalent reduction would have to be made elsewhere".
Det nye system må ikke sætte borgernes skattebetalinger i vejret – EU-bidraget skal erstatte en del af en anden skat.
MEPs in the committee are calling for the new system to be introduced from 2014, with a "transition period" to guarantee "a smooth phasing-out of the old financing system".
skatter på selskabsoverskud
British rebate
Andre muligheder nævnes også i betænkningen, som f.eks. skatter på handel med værdipapirer, indkomstskat, miljøafgifter.
The House stresses that the current system, with its four different resources and its several different rebate mechanisms, be they general ones in favour of one Member State such as the British rebate, or special ones such as rebates in financing other rebates, is excessively complex, lacks transparency and is completely incomprehensible to European citizens; underlines that it does nothing towards fulfilling the requirement of establishing a direct link between the Union and its citizens.
MEP’erne understreger desuden, at det nye system ikke skal ændre på størrelsen af EU-budgettet.
The Budgets committee deplores the fact that the 2005 Brussels European Council, instead of creating a simpler and more transparent system, made it even more complicated and obscure by leaving the UK correction, the "British rebate", in principle intact and adding further derogations and corrections benefiting other Member States.
EU's indtægter kommer hovedsaglig fra fire kilder: Told, landbrugsafgifter, momsindtægter samt indtægter fra medlemslandene beregnet ud fra deres bruttonationalindkomst.
However, the new own resources system should be based on a tax already in existence in the Member States, the idea being that a certain percentage of an existing tax would be fed directly into the EU budget as a genuine own resource, thus establishing a direct link between the Union and the European taxpayer.

Budget for 2008: Bedre kommunikation og mere tillid til EU's institutioner
2008 budget to focus on "boosting confidence in EU institutions"
I en betænkning med Ville ITÄLÄ (PPE-DE, FI), som ordfører ønsker Parlamentet at komme med nogle retningslinjer for budgettet 2008.
A focus on enhancing the exchange of information is needed to raise the profile of the 2009 elections to the Parliament, according to the report, written by Ville ITÄLÄ (EPP-ED, FI).
Parlamentet mener ikke, at de eksisterende kommunikationskanaler i tilstrækkelig grad imødekommer dette behov, og mener også, at de lokale og regionale medier i højere grad skal involveres, da dette ville være yderst gavnligt for EU-projektet.
The European Parliament expresses concern over "the additional costs that this implies in terms of running costs and in particular when travelling from one place to another."
Parlamentet beklager den geografiske spredning af administrationen på de tre arbejdssteder i Bruxelles, Strasbourg og Luxembourg og de supplerende udgifter, det medfører, og mener, at administrationen bør tilbyde medlemmerne alle de faciliteter, som de nye teknologier kan tilbyde, for at begrænse de negative konsekvenser af Europa-Parlamentets geografiske forhold, som f.eks. synkronisering af pc'er og mobiltelefoner eller benyttelse af videokonferencerum.
The budget can be used to improve this situation, according to the report, through investment in "new technologies in order to limit the negative impact of the European Parliament’s geographical layout such as the synchronisation of computers with mobile phones or the use of video conference rooms."
Anne E. JENSEN (ALDE, DK) havde ordet på vegne af sin gruppe under debatten onsdag aften, og bakkede op om ordførerens idé om, at udgifterne principielt skal ligge på 2007-niveau - også næste år.
There are, however, problems which still exist in terms of successfully implementing this new technology, and MEPs call for a specific section of the budget to be dedicated to evaluating "IT projects launched in the past five years with indications regarding the provisional costs, the starting and provisional delivery dates, the delivery dates and the final costs."
Hun tog også spørgsmålet om parlamentarikernes assistenter op.
European Parliament staff
"Nu hvor vi får en statut for medlemmerne, skal der også bakkes op om en statut for medlemmernes assistenter her i Parlamentet, men vi mangler Rådets opbakning.
The House is particularly concerned about "the costs related to geographical dispersion", in particular "the number of missions undertaken by staff within the three places of work", and will "examine the possibilities to rationalise them better."
Uden den kan vi ikke få orden i tingene.
Services for MEPs
Parlamentarikernes assistenter er ansat af parlamentarikerne og ikke af Parlamentet, hvilket gør, at de ofte har meget forskellige vilkår, afhængigt af hvilket land de kommer fra.
The House notes the plenary's decision to fully support the adoption of a real and meaningful statute for Members' assistants.
Ordfører: Ville ITÄLÄ PPE-DE FI
The House is convinced that such a statute will contribute to improving the quality of Members' activities.

Public health
Javier Solana, EU's højtstående repræsentant på udenrigsområdet, var netop kommet hjem fra topmøde i den arabiske liga i Riyadh, og var tilfreds med at kunne være i Parlamentet for at diskutere de vigtige udenrigspolitiske spørgsmål, som EU står over for lige nu.
Following the announcement in the minutes of 14 March (see below), the House formally adopted written declaration on Hepatitis C with some 470 MEPs signing the declaration.
"Jeg tror, det er det rigtige tidspunkt at tage diskussionen," sagde han med henvisning til den netop underskrevne Berlin-erklæring.
The declaration calls on the Commission and Council to recognise Hepatitis C as an urgent public health issue and identify priority actions in programmes of future Council presidencies.
Han understregede, at en fælles udenrigspolitik og en større rolle på verdensplan nogle af de vigtigste udfordringer, som EU står over for lige nu.
It also calls for the adoption of a Council recommendation on Hepatitis C screening, ensuring early diagnosis and wider access to treatment and care.
Han talte blandt andet om Mellemøsten, Iran, Balkan, Afrika og Østeuropa.
12 millions persons in Europe are infected with the Hepatitis C virus (HCV).
Solana kom også ind på forholdet til Iran i forhold til de 15 britiske marinesoldater, som er tilbageholdt i Iran.
HCV is often seen as a 'silent killer' and 'sniper' disease, HCV is often not detected so that many patients remain undiagnosed while the diagnosed patients frequently suffer from stigmatisation.
Solana havde mødt den iranske udenrigsminister under sit møde i Riyadh, og havde overfor ham gjort det klart, at EU ikke kan acceptere tilbageholdelsen.
John BOWIS (EPP-ED, UK) said: “According to the British Hepatitis C Trust, only 1 in 10 people with Hepatitis C have been diagnosed.
I forhold til Irans atomprogram fortalte Solana, at FN's sikkerhedsråd netop havde vedtaget en resolution, som sender klar besked til den iranske regering om, at deres atomprogram skal overholde betingelserne i Sikkerhedsrådets resolutioner.
Extended and reinforced screening efforts are therefore essential to guarantee early diagnosis and treatment, and to prevent a further spreading of the virus.”
EU har ikke truffet en beslutning om det endnu, sagde han og understregede, at EU ikke er en forsvarsalliance, og dermed ikke det rette sted at tage disse beslutninger.
Stephen HUGHES (PES, UK) said: “In particular for health workers, the risk of infection for Hepatitis C through needlestick injuries is enormous.
Men han mente også, at det ville være en fejl, hvis det ikke bliver taget op til debat.
I am therefore pleased that the European Parliament once more underlined the need for urgent EU action to prevent such fatal injuries.”
Han understregede dog, at det skulle være en diskussion, der både skal tages i Nato og EU.
Frederique RIES (ALDE, BE) said: “Hepatitis C is also the first cause of liver transplant in the EU, as there is still no vaccine, screening and organ donations remain the most efficient medical practices to stop the disease.
Fra EU-Kommissionen var det Forbrugerkommissær, Meglena KUNEVA, der tog ordet.
It is therefore crucial to reinforce European cooperation via the 7th Research Framework Programme and the European Registry on Organs, Cells and Tissues (EUROCET).”
