Parlamentet ønsker blandt andet, at virksomheder skal have mulighed for at gennemføre omstruktureringen ad to omgange.
Marco PANNELLA (ALDE, IT) argued that the universal moratorium could have been achieved as long ago as 1994, but that successive Council presidencies have refused to take responsibility and push for its adoption in the UN.
De, der allerede har ansøgt om at give afkald på kvoter, skal have mulighed for at søge igen om yderligere afgivelse af kvoter senest den 30. april 2008.
He said politics touches the question of life and death in other areas too, such as abortion, euthanasia and biomedics, and that all of these subjects needed to be considered.
Samtidig foreslås det at forøge omstruktureringsstøtten fra 218,75 euro til 625 euro pr. ton afgivet kvote for 2008/09.
"You could have forced a vote on this issue," she said, calling the failure to take a decision a "missed opportunity".
MEP'erne ønsker også, at producenterne skal have 25 % af omstruktureringsstøtten modsat Kommissionens forslag på 10 %.
Luisa MORGANTINI (GUE/NGL, IT) said it was "saddening to know that the Europe we have always defended has come to include such views" as those expressed by Mr Szymanski.
Forlængelse af ordning frem til 2015
"We need to isolate voices who still argue against" the abolition of the death penalty, she said.
Efter Parlamentets mening vil det give EU mulighed for fortsat at kunne håndtere ustabilitet på markedet og prisudsving.
Hélène FLAUTRE (Greens/EFA, FR) asked how a country could possibly instrumentalise the subject of the death penalty, and told the Council that it should not tolerate such positions.

Vedvarende energi: Alle lande skal være med
MEPs demand that toys meet EU standards
Alle lande skal deltage aktivt i kampen for at sikre mere sol- vind og vandenergi i EU, og indsatsen skal koordineres med mere energieffektivitet.
The resolution was adopted with 660 votes in favour, 18 against and 7 abstentions.
Det er nogle af hovedpointerne i den betænkning om en køreplan for vedvarende energi, Britta Thomsen (PSE, DK), har været ordfører for, og som blev vedtaget med stort flertal tirsdag.
The House calls on the Commission to present the planned revision of the Toys directive 88/378//EC (see link below) by the end of this year, making sure it includes efficient and effective requirements for product safety; as public health and consumer protection considerations play an important part in the Toys Directive, much clearer provisions are needed to ensure the safety of products and to provide consumers with trust in their safe use.
Betænkningen lægger sig op af EU-landenes mål om, at 20 % af al energi i Europa fra 2020 skal komme fra vedvarende energikilder.
In 2006, 48% of detected unsafe products originated from China and 17% were of unidentified origin.
Det er en af de ambitiøse målsætninger, som EU-landene har sat sig for dels at sikre forsyningssikkerheden, men også for at nedbringe udledningen af CO2 i Europa.
MEPs point out that 24% of all detected unsafe products are children’s toys and that a very high proportion of the toys marketed in the EU are sourced from China.
Britta Thomsen sagde i den forbindelse under debatten mandag eftermiddag:
David MARTIN (PES, UK) said: "I believe we need three courses of action.
"Jeg har i betænkningen understreget vigtigheden af, at energieffektivitet også bliver tænkt ind i de nationale handlingsplaner.
Firstly, we have to push manufacturers to take a greater interest in their supply chain and, if necessary, apply penalties to those who do not take that interest.
Jeg mener, at det er grundlæggende, at vi får netop den kobling, fordi det ellers er en ren Sisyfosopgave, hvis vi hele tiden øger vores energiforbrug og samtidig skal nå et relativt mål på 20 % vedvarende energi.
Secondly, we need the Commission to bring together the Member States to ensure tougher inspections in Europe, to ensure adequate customs control and to ensure the application of the existing European Union laws."
De to ting må og skal sammentænkes," sagde Britta Thomsen.
Robert STURDY (EPP-ED, UK) said: "We live in a global market, and the last thing I want is to see legislation that is trade defensive.
I betænkningen lægger Britta Thomsen vægt på, at der skal indarbejdes sektorspecifikke målsætninger i de enkelte medlemslandes handlingsplaner for vedvarende energi for at tilskynde til investering, innovation og forskning inden for alle sektorer.
We have to accept the fact that products are going to come in from the rest of the world, but they must be of the same standard.
Parlamentet ønsker også at sikre, at alle lande deltager.
I want to ensure the safety of my constituents – the children, the grandchildren of the people that have elected me – when they go to buy their Christmas toys to ensure and guarantee that they are not going to die from some lead paint."
Selv om nogle lande i forvejen er bagud, er det vigtigt, at andelen af vedvarende energi stiger i alle lande.
Revision of the Toys Directive
Udvalget beklager i den forbindelse, at der stadig er regionale og lokale myndigheder i EU, der kun viser lille interesse for at udvikle og benytte vedvarende energikilder.
The House calls on the Commission to improve the enforcement measures of the directive, including effective sanctions for non-compliance.
Det bliver understreget, at man i målet om, at nå op på 20 % af energi fra vedvarende energikilder, rent faktisk skal bruge vedvarende energikilder og ikke f.eks. a-kraft.
The House calls on the Commission to present the planned revision of the Toys directive 88/378//EC by the end of this year, making sure it includes efficient and effective requirements for product safety; as public health and consumer protection considerations play an important part in the Toys Directive, much clearer provisions are needed to ensure the safety of products and to provide consumers with trust in their safe use.
Bio-brændsel skal være bæredygtigt
Control of CE and other markings
I forhold til bio-brændstoffer understreger Parlamentet gentagne gange, at disse brændstoffer skal produceres på en bæredygtig måde, og MEP’erne efterlyser hurtigere teknologiske fremskridt på dette område.
MEPs call on the Commission to ensure that the CE marking is a guarantee of compliance with EU technical legislation, and stresses that the CE marking, given its self-regulatory character, was never intended to be an EU-wide safety mark.
Udvalget mener, at de globale konsekvenser af biobrændstofproduktionen bør overvåges tæt.
The House urges the Commission to assess the added value of creating a common European Consumer Safety Label, complementary to the CE marking, for all economic operators, thus helping the consumer to make an informed choice between products.
MEP’erne støtter Kommissionens mål om, at 10 % af energien til transport skal komme fra biobrændsel og andre vedvarende energikilder, og mener også, at medlemsstaterne skal overveje skattebegunstigelser, der skal få forbrugerne til at vælge biobrændstoffer i stedet for de fossile brændstoffer.
Parliament underlines that this European Consumer Safety Label must be voluntary and, when adopted by a producer, should replace all national safety labels.
Igen under forudsætning af, at biobrændstoffer produceres på en bæredygtig måde.
The European Parliament calls on the Commission to clarify the liability of producers and importers in the event of misuse of the CE mark and considers that adequate penalties for misuse should be instituted.

Parlamentet åben over for 'blue card' for lovlig indvandring
Parliament adopts priorities on legal and illegal immigration policies
Parlamentet var åben over for muligheden for at skabe en EU-arbejdstilladelse til højtuddannede, det såkaldte "blue card" Europa-Parlamentet vedtog onsdag to initiativbetænkninger om dels en politisk plan for lovlig migration, dels de politiske prioriteter i forbindelse med bekæmpelsen af ulovlig indvandring.
The own-initiative report, aimed to elaborate a plan on legal migration, "supports the creation of an EU work permit" -Known as the blue card, similar idea to the current US green card- "to facilitate the free movement of 'brains' within Europe and the transfer of personnel within multinational companies".
Det er knap 4 % af EU's totale befolkning.
EC Vice-president Franco Frattini will present Commission's legislative proposal on the blue-card system next 23 October.
I den betænkning, som Lilli GRUBER (PSE, IT) var ordfører for understreges det, at Europa har brug for indvandring på grund af befolkningens aldring og arbejdsmarkedets udvikling.
Europe needs economic migrants, stressed MEPs. "the reality of ageing and demographic changes necessitate rethinking immigration policies since the current and future situations of the EU labour markets can be broadly described as in demand of well-managed legal immigration".
Parlamentet peger i betænkningen på nødvendigheden af at gøre EU attraktivt som mål for de bedst uddannede indvandrere for at nå målsætningerne i Lissabon-strategien.
The text adopted supports the intention of the Commission to define the conditions of entry and stay for other selected categories of economic immigrants, including unskilled or low-skilled workers.
Det støtter tanken om at forenkle ansøgningsprocessen for opholds- og arbejdstilladelser.
MEPs also emphasise the particular responsibility of the media (in particular European public radio and television broadcasters) in the dissemination of an accurate image of immigration and in countering stereotypes.
Samtidig støtter det tanken om en såkaldt "Blue Card"-ordning for indvandrere med særlige kvalifikationer (i lighed med den amerikanske "Green Card"-ordning; red.).
"Spreading the belief that immigration is uncontrolled is wrong", said MEPs and Europe should avoid the danger of exploiting the debate on migration "for demagogic and populist purposes".
MEP'erne understregede dog, at det naturligvis skulle være op til det enkelte medlemsland at definere behovet for indvandring.
The report, drafted by Lilli Gruber (PES, IT), finally states that the number of third-country nationals legally resident in the 27 EU Member States is approximately 18.5 million (whilst nearly 9 million EU citizens are resident in a Member State other than their own), according to Eurostat.
Kampen mod illegal indvandring
Fight against illegal immigration
Javier MORENO SÁNCHEZ (PSE, ES), stod bag den anden initiativbetænkning, som blev vedtaget onsdag med 418 stemmer for, 81 imod og 8 der undlod.
Javier Moreno Sánchez (PES, ES) presented the second own initiative report on policy priorities in the fight against illegal immigration.
Betænkningen kommer ind på de politiske prioriteter i forhold til den illegale indvandring, og lægger vægt på, at illegale indvandrere ikke må blive behandlet som kriminelle og går imod ideen om at oprette modtagelsescentre for illegale indvandrere uden for Europa.
The report adopted today stresses that irregular migrants must not be treated like criminals and reiterates its firm opposition to the idea of setting up reception or holding centres for illegal immigrants or asylum seekers outside the Union's borders and in immigrants' regions of origin.
Generel amnesti løser ikke problemet
The regularisation issue
I de senere år har nogle medlemsstater givet generel amnesti og opholds- og arbejdstilladelse til tusindvis af illegale indvandrere (bl.a. Spanien, Portugal, Grækenland, Frankrig og Belgien; red.).
The report recalls that numerous Member States have carried out regularisations or said they will do so, and that these decisions are, in the present state of law, a matter for the discretion of the Member States "but quite often a signal of lack of appropriate measures in place".
MEP'erne mener, at dette ikke bør være en tilbagekommende procedure, da denne praksis, efter MEPernes mening ikke løser de reelle problemer.
MEPs believe that en masse regularisation of illegal immigrants "should be a one-off event since such a measure does not resolve the real underlying problem"
Betænkningen beklager, at nogle medlemsstater ikke har levet op til deres forpligtelse til at yde logistisk støtte m.v. til det europæiske grænseagentur, FRONTEX.
The report deeply regrets the fact that some Member States have failed to honour their undertakings to provide logistic and human support for its operations.
Der mangler af gode grunde pålidelige statistikker vedrørende antallet af ulovlige indvandrere i EU, men tallet skønnes at være mellem 4,5 og 8 millioner.
The number of third-country nationals in an irregular situation in the EU appears to be, according to somewhat conflicting estimates, between 4.5 m and 8 m.
Parlamentet vil den kommende tid skulle vedtage to vigtige lovforslag på det område, nemlig et forslag om fælles regler for hjemsendelse af illegale indvandrere og et forslag om at straffe arbejdsgivere der benytter sig at illegal arbejdskraft.
Parliament will adopt in the coming months two important directive proposals: a first one to give common rules for the return of illegal immigrants and a second one to impose sanctions on employers of illegal immigrants, stepping up workplace inspections.
Fra debatten onsdag formiddag
Debate - 26 September 2007
Fra Kommissionen understregede Franco Frattini, at der er behov for en overordnet tilgang i forhold til problemerne med indvandring, især i forhold årsagerne til indvandringen, som f.eks. fattigdom.
Commission Vice-President Franco FRATTINI who is responsible for justice, freedom and security, stressed that a global approach was needed to migration, above all because of the underlying causes such as poverty that pushed people to emigrate.
Frattini talte også om det foreslåede "Blue Card" for højt kvalificerede indvandrere.
Among practical measures, Mr Frattini spoke of the proposed blue card for migrants, which would encourage "circular migration".
Det kunne være en løsning på Europas behov for kvalificeret arbejdskraft.
This could be an answer to Europe's need for highly-skilled workers while not exacerbating the brain drain from poorer countries.
Citater fra debatten
Political group speakers
I forhold til at legalisere de illegale indvandrere, sagde han: "Jeg er mod, at man legaliserer illegale indvandrere - det er kun med til at motivere andre til at komme illegalt til Europa.."
There were, he said, approximately 10-15 million illegal immigrants in the EU and they needed to be addressed with the principle of the respect of human dignity.
Daul var dog venligt stemt over for tanken om et europæisk "Blue Card"
Mass regularisation however was not the answer as this only led to support for mafia and people traffickers.
Fra Socialistgruppen var det Claudio FAVA, (PES, IT), der talte.
Claudio FAVA (PES, IT) recalled the images of forty migrants clinging to a fishing net in the Mediterranean trying to reach Europe which underlined the need for a global approach to immigration and the powerful pull of Europe.
Graham WATSON (ALDE, UK) talte på vegne af den liberale gruppe.
Graham WATSON (ALDE, UK) said: "With every human tragedy, during a desperate do nothing decade, liberals and democrats have asked one simple question: how many people must perish before governments see that lifting the drawbridge of fortress Europe serves nobody’s interests?
"Hvor mange liv skal gå tabt, før vi kan indse, at det ikke nytter at trække hængebroen til Fort Europa op," sagde han og mindede om, at den demografiske udvikling vil betyde, at Europa vil miste 20 mio. mennesker i arbejdsstyrken.
Longer term, however, only a comprehensive EU policy, which punishes the people-smugglers, provides legal routes in and creates hope where there is despair, can counter prevailing trends.
Fra UEN-gruppen, mente Cristina MUSCARDINI (UEN, IT) at der i forhold til den illegale indvandring er "akut behov for at få en fælles politik",
In the context of illegal immigration, Cristiana MUSCARDINI (UEN, IT) referred to the 'urgent need for a common policy'.
Jean LAMBERT (Verts/ALE, UK) sagde at immigration er et naturligt fænomen.
Jean LAMBERT (Greens/EFA, UK) began by stating that "we know that immigration is a fact of life".
"Jeg glad for, at medlemslandene skal være mere ærlige og anerkende, at man har brug for indvandrere.
She pointed out that EU nationals themselves follow paths where they want to "yearn for" and "earn" a better life.
Hvis vi er bekymrede over hjerneflugten, er vi også nødt til at se på, hvordan vi kan holde på folk, " sagde hun.
She concluded by pointing out that it is "not just a question of free movement but also a question of tackling racism and xenophobia".
Giusto CATANIA (GUE/NGL, IT) kommenterede EU's hidtidige indsats: "Vi gør det hele i den omvendte rækkefølge.
Giusto CATANIA (GUE/NGL, IT) commented on EU policies to date, referring to 'pushing people back' and criminalising migration.
Først finder vi ud af, hvordan vi kan afvise folk, så finder vi ud af, hvordan vi kan tiltrække de velkvalificerede, og først til sidst finder vi ud af, hvordan vi skal forholde os til alle dem, som er her ulovligt"
He pointed out that 'we should agree that the policy for illegal immigration should be to stop people being attracted by our economies' and to 'stop the Mediterranean turning into a graveyard'.
Roger KNAPMAN (IND/DEM) vendte blikket mod den schweiziske indvandringspolitik, og ønskede mere lokal og regional tilgang til indvandringsspørgsmålet.
Roger KNAPMAN (UK) speaking for the Independence/Democracy Group, contrasted the EU's tendency to "centralise" immigration policy with Switzerland's tendency to devolve it down to the cantons.
"I EU centraliserer man indsatsen, men succesen i Schweiz skyldes netop, at indvandringen behandles lokalt i kantonerne," sagde han.
This system works because it meets local needs, said Mr Knapman, whereas in the UK, "immigration policy is moving away from the fount of local knowledge".
Fra ITS-gruppen var det Marine LE PEN (ITS, FR) der havde ordet.
Figures from the EURODAC database on asylum-seekers suggested that illegal border crossings had grown by over 60% since 2005, said Marine LE PEN (ITS, FR).
Hun mente, at EU skulle genindføre grænsekontrollen mellem landene, idet FRONTEX ikke virker efter hensigten.
Instead, the EU should "re-establish border controls", as Frontex is a mere "gadget", and the Schengen agreement is "criminal", she concluded.
Fra løsgængerne var det Alessandro BATTILOCCHIO (NI, IT) der talte.
Removing illegal immigration is the only viable way to ensure safety of life and limb, said Alessandro BATTILOCCHIO (IT), for the non-attached members.
Danske talere
British speakers
Han lagde i sit indlæg vægt på den demografiske ubalance i verden.
We need to look at targeted campaigns in the states of origin, making it clear that Europe is not an open door.
Kun bistand til udvikling og demokrati hjælper.
Response to the debate from the Council
EU-landene er så forskellige, at ens regler er umulige at forvalte," sagde han og fortsatte: "Modstanden i alle medlemslande mod øget indvandring fra fremmede kulturer bør få EU-Parlamentet til at lytte mere til sine vælgere."
It combines humanity and solidarity: humanity, because it is directed to people seeking a place in our societies, and solidarity, because immigration is not an issue for one, two or three Member States - it needs a response from all.

Slut med braklægning: Parlamentet giver grønt lys
No let up in fight against racial discrimination
Europa-Parlamentet bakkede onsdag i en hasteprocedure op om Kommissionens forslag om at sætte en stopper for den obligatoriske braklægning af marker indtil næste forår.
The European Parliament adopted an own-initiative report on the application of the Racial Equality Directive of 2000 with 500 votes in favour, 46 against and 24 abstentions.
Forslaget fra Kommissionen om at droppe braklægningen midlertidigt blev vedtaget af et stort flertal onsdag.
Directive 2000/43/EC (see link below), known as the Racial Equality Directive, was due to be implemented by all Member States by 19 July 2003.
Selv om Parlamentet kun har høringsret i forhold til landbrugsspørgsmål, og dermed ikke direkte kan komme med ændringer, skal Parlamentet høres, før ministrene i Rådet kan gå videre med lovgivningen.
The directive was revolutionary at the time of its adoption because it did not limit protection against discrimination to the area of employment but also covers social security, education and access to housing.
Under debatten inden afstemningen understregede de fleste medlemmer, at den nuværende krise på kornmarkedet og prisstigningerne på fødevarer ikke udelukkende vil kunne løses ved at tilså de braklagte marker.
However, according to the draft report of the Civil Liberties Committee, authored by Kathalijne Buitenweg (Greens/EFA, NL), questions remain as to the directive's real impact.
Ifølge MEP'erne bør denne hidtil usete situation være anledning til en mere tilbundsgående debat i forbindelse med den forestående gennemgang af landbrugspolitikken.
Not all Member States have fully implemented it in their national law.
Forslaget skyldes, at høsten i 2006 var lavere end forventet for EU (265,5 millioner tons), hvilket har ført til mindre korn på markedet og rekordhøje priser.
Proving discrimination is notoriously difficult, and the directive's rules on the burden of proof have not been properly applied in some Member States.
Interventionslagrene er blevet reduceret fra 14 mio. tons fra begyndelsen af 2006/2007 til 1 mio. tons i begyndelsen af september.
Data on race and ethnicity - a useful tool, despite concerns
Desuden forventes det, at høstudbyttet i 2007 vil være endnu mindre end i 2006 på grund af de dårlige vejrforhold.
The collecting of sensitive data, which could be needed to establish indirect discrimination or to assess the extent of discrimination in society, continues to raise concerns and fears in many Member States.
På nuværende tidspunkt udgør det obligatoriske braklægningsareal i EU 3,8 mio. ha.
The committee "underlines that additional guarantees should be provided for data on race and ethnicity, as these data could be diverted and used for other purposes in the justice and home affairs field" but it does believe such data - for example, statistics on racist crime and on employment - are needed as a tool to combat discrimination.
