Europa-Parlamentet forkaster betænkning om bekæmpelse af terror
MEPs reject report on factors favouring the support for terrorism and recruitment of terrorists
Uenighed mellem de store politiske grupper var årsagen til, at Europa-Parlamentet i dag forkastede en initiativbetænkning om de faktorer, der fremmer terrorisme.
MEPs rejected a report on factors favouring the support for terrorism and recruitment of terrorists.
Det var der også lagt op til i en kontroversiel betænkning fra Udvalget om Borgernes Rettigheder og Retlige og Indre Anliggender.
It also mentioned the need to promote dialogue with religion leaders and minorities, on the basis of the UN concept of the alliance of civilizations.
I betænkningen opfordres medlemslandene i EU til at overveje at udvide definitionen af terroristhandlinger i den rammeafgørelse, der blev vedtaget i kølvandet på 11. september.
Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the European Union adopted a framework decision urging Member States to align their legislation and set out minimum rules on terrorist offences.
Medlemslandene opfordres til at diskutere, om definitionen også skal omfatte 'retfærdiggørelse af terrorisme', da det er med til at bidrage til den voldelige radikalisering.
During the vote on the detail of the report, amendments were initially adopted, (before the report was rejected), encouraging Member States to open discussions to include "the glorification of terrorism" in the scope of the framework decision, as "they are factors which contribute to violent radicalisation".
En ændring af definitionen skal ske på en sådan måde, at det får mindst mulig indflydelse på ytrings- og tankefriheden, hedder det i betænkningen.
MEPs had also stated in several paragraphs, before the entire report was rejected, that preventive measures must be based upon avoiding social isolation and promoting increased dialogue - with different civilisations, religions, minorities, on the basis of the UN concept of the alliance of civilisations.
Den oprindelige ordfører, Jaime MAYOR OREJA (PPE-DE, ES) valgte imidlertid at trække sig efter vedtagelsen i udvalget, og den blev derfor fremlagt af udvalgsformanden, Gérard DEPREZ (ALDE, BE).
The report that was put forward to plenary and rejected in plenary was in the name of the new Civil Liberties Committee Chairman - Gérard DEPREZ (ALDE, BE).
Dette dækkede åbenbart over en fundamental uenighed mellem de to store grupper i Parlamentet, hvilket også kom til udtryk ved den endelige afstemning i plenarsalen.
Jaime MAYOR OREJA (EPP-ED, ES), the original rapporteur, had withdrawn his name from the report after its adoption by the Civil Liberties Committee.
EU's vækstpotentiale skal udnyttes bedre
Enhancing Europe’s economic performance
En sund økonomisk politik vil være med til at styrke tilliden og mindske usikkerheden under den nuværende uro på finansmarkederne.
MEPs say sound economic policies would help to restore confidence following the financial market turmoil.
Det er en af konklusionerne i en betænkning af Margarita STARKEVIČIŪTĖ (ALDE, LT) som Europa-Parlamentet vedtog i dag.
Two texts adopted on Wednesday recommend a series of measures to boost Europe’s long-term growth potential in what is a wide-ranging assessment of EU economic policy.
Afstemningen fandt sted i forbindelse med en drøftelse af Lissabon-strategien og de overordnede økonomiske retningslinjer.
MEPs add that the rise in productivity should go hand in hand with a fairer distribution of the benefits of growth and a strengthening of social cohesion.
Parlamentets input
Economic growth boosting measures
MEP'erne mener, at en sund økonomisk politik vil være med til at styrke tilliden og mindske usikkerheden under den nuværende uro på finansmarkederne.
The Council is due to adopt a new set of Broad Economic Policy Guidelines for the next three years this spring, following the EU summit of 13-14 March.
De mener, at EU i 2008 må øge sit vækstpotentiale, så der kan skabes flere jobs.
These guidelines are the main instrument for coordinating economic policies in the Member States in the context of the Lisbon Strategy, which aims to make the EU economy more competitive.
Betænkningen lægger vægt på, at resultaterne af væksten skal fordeles mere ligeligt i samfundet.
This is the second cycle of guidelines to be adopted since the Lisbon Strategy was relaunched and refocused in 2005.
Høj eurokurs påvirker konkurrenceevnen
Re-evaluate financial market oversight
Parlamentet udtrykker bekymring over euroens høje kurs, som er til skade for konkurrenceevnen, og som reducerer manøvrefriheden med hensyn til pengepolitikken.
Parliament warns that the European economy’s progress is not immune to crises, and points to the overriding importance of safeguarding the stability of financial markets.
Modernisering af de offentlige finanser
MEPs highlight the role of small and medium sized enterprises and "strongly endorse" the Commission's proposed "Small Business Act."
Efter Parlamentets mening bør medlemsstaterne også sikre modernisering af den offentlige forvaltning og konsolidering af de offentlige finanser.
AM 3The House calls for all EU bilateral or regional trade agreements under negotiation to include "enforceable provisions on the implementation of core labour standards and other aspects of decent work, as well as of multilateral environmental standards."
EP afviser protektionisme
Tackling unemployment, eliminating poverty
Ændring af skattebyrden
Best achievements and measures of success
I forhold til et af de prioriterede områder - den bæredygtige udvikling - mener MEP'erne, at der kan være fordele i at flytte skattebyrden fra arbejde over på miljøbelastning.
MEPs call again for a better involvement of social partners, national parliaments, local and regional authorities and civil society in the Lisbon strategy.
De påpeger også behovet for at samordne skatter og afgifter herunder virksomhedsskatten.
The House also wants to look beyond GDP and GNI figures as a measure for success.

Lissabon-traktaten godkendt med stort flertal
Ratify the Lisbon Treaty this year says the European Parliament
Lissabon-traktaten godkendt med stort flertal
MEPs adopt report on the Lisbon by an overwhelming majority
Europa-Parlamentet godkendte i dag med stort flertal (515 for, 115 imod og 29 hverken/eller) en betænkning, hvori det anbefales at ratificere Lissabon-traktaten, så den kan træde i kraft den 1. januar 2009.
Member States should ratify it by the end of this year, to pave the way for the June 2009 European elections, said the European Parliament in an own-initiative report adopted with 525 votes in favour, 115 against and 29 abstentions.
Mere demokratisk kontrol
More democratic accountability
I betænkningen lægger medlemmerne vægt på, at Lissabon-traktaten vil give både Europa-Parlamentet og de nationale parlamenter en større rolle i beslutningsprocessen og dermed styrke demokratiet i EU.
The Lisbon Treaty would give the European and national parliaments a bigger role in the decision-making process, and thus raise the EU's democratic profile, says the report.
MEP'erne fremhæver, at Europa-Parlamentet med få undtagelser vil være lovgiver på lige fod med Ministerrådet, særligt i forhold til budgetproceduren og i forhold til beslutninger inden for de retlige og indre anliggender.
In fact, with just a few exceptions, it would place the Council and the European Parliament would on an equal footing as lawmakers, notably in the budgetary procedure and in justice and home affairs.
Nationale parlamenter som f.eks. Folketinget vil få mulighed for at forlange, at et forslag skal tages op til overvejelse, hvis de ikke mener, at det overholder nærhedsprincippet.
National parliaments would gain the right to object to a proposal if they felt the subsidiarity principle had not been respected, noted MEPs.
Desuden noterer MEP'erne sig med tilfredshed, at Kommissionens formand fremover vil blive valgt af Europa-Parlamentet efter indstilling fra stats- og regeringslederne, som skal tage hensyn til udfaldet af Europa-parlamentsvalget i deres valg af kandidat.
Moreover, the President of the Commission, proposed by the European Council on the basis of the European election results, would be elected by the European Parliament.
Flere rettigheder og mere klarhed for borgerne
More rights and clarity for citizens
MEP'erne hilser også med tilfredshed en række forbedringer af borgernes rettigheder velkommen.
The report also welcomes the fact that the Lisbon Treaty would strengthen citizens' rights.
Det gælder for eksempel det Europæiske Charter for Grundlæggende Rettigheder som bliver retsligt bindende, og dermed sikrer, at alle de beslutninger og al den lovgivning der kommer fra EU-institutionerne skal leve op til charterets liste af borgerlige, sociale, politiske og økonomiske rettigheder.
For example, the binding nature of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights offers greater certainty that citizens' rights will be fully respected, because any action taken by the EU institutions would have to pass this test.
Desuden vil traktaten indføre et borgerinitiativ, der vil gøre det muligt for mindst en million borgerne at komme med forslag til områder, hvor EU bør tage initiativer.
Introducing a right of initiative for EU citizens, by enabling them to put proposals to the Commission, would step up their participation in the EU decision-making process.
Der er også udbredt tilfredshed med, at traktaten bekræfter den særlige type samarbejde, som EU-samarbejdet er.
Finally, the new treaty would also improve clarity and allow citizens better to understand the EU's role and functions.
MEP'erne mener, at traktaten giver fyldestgørende garantier for, at Unionen ikke vil blive en 'centraliseret almægtig superstat.'
MEPs believe that the Lisbon Treaty provides adequate guarantees that the EU will not become a centralised "superstate" - it points out that new provisions confirm the specificity of the Union, whose powers are conferred by the Member States, and reaffirm the obligation to respect national identities.
Mere effektivitet
Greater effectiveness
EU-institutionerne vil med den nye traktat få større muligheder for at udføre deres opgaver mere effektivt, mener Parlamentet.
Members also welcome the provisions that seek to improve the Union's ability to act, noting that greater use of qualified majority voting, replacing unanimity, would facilitate agreements in the Council, and that the new European Council President and High Representative for foreign policy High Representative should improve the coherence of EU action.
Fra debatten:
They also criticise the special arrangements made for some Member States in the field of police co-operation and criminal law and the Charter of Fundamental Rights.
En klar forbedring
Need to inform citizens
Lissabon-traktaten er en klar forbedring i forhold til de tidligere traktater, sagde ordføreren, Richard CORBETT (PSE, UK).
MEPs reiterate their appeal to Member States to guarantee maximum political commitment to ensure that the new treaty enters into force well before the EP elections in June 2009.
Efter hans mening vil EU blive mere demokratisk og mere effektivt.
Finally, the report calls on national authorities and EU institutions to do their best to inform citizens about the Lisbon Treaty's aims and content.
Han fremhævede, at den særlige form for demokratisk ansvarlighed i EU ikke findes nogen andre steder i verden.
To this end, the EP asked that a consolidated version of the treaties be published as soon as possible.
Der er tale om, at et lovforslag først bliver vurderet i de nationale parlamenter, for derefter at blive underkastet en dobbelt godkendelse, dels i Rådet, som repræsenterer medlemsstaterne, dels i Europa-Parlamentet, som repræsenterer borgerne.
- its role as a co-legislator is fully recognised, thanks to the general application of the existing codecision procedure, which is elevated to the rank of the ordinary legislative procedure, but also thanks to an increase in Parliament's participation in special legislative procedures.
Richard Corbett understregede, at Lissabon-traktaten medfører øgede beføjelser for Parlamentet.
- its budgetary powers, which it shares with the Council on an equal footing, now extend to all Union expenditure;
Vi får afgørende indflydelse på valget af formanden for EU-Kommissionen, og vi får fuld medindflydelse på budgettet, sagde han.
- its powers of political scrutiny are enhanced, particularly by means of the election of the President of the Commission;
I den forbindelse påpegede han, at Parlamentet også får ret til at foreslå traktatændringer og til at blokere for Kommissionens gennemførelsesbestemmelser, hvis man finder det nødvendigt.
- various decisions which are of great importance in the life of the Union and which hitherto have rested solely with the Council are now also subject to approval by Parliament: the decision to initiate enhanced cooperation; the use of the flexibility clause enabling the Union to take measures not provided for in the Treaties in order to attain ends for which they do provide; decisions on the use of the general ‘bridging clauses’ (‘passerelles’) substituting qualified majority voting for unanimous voting or replacing special legislative procedures with the ordinary legislative procedure; certain decisions making it possible to extend the scope of legal bases provided for in the Treaties, such as those concerning the European Public Prosecutor's Office or judicial cooperation in criminal matters;
Men borgernes rettigheder bliver også styrket, idet Charteret for Grundlæggende Rettigheder bliver en juridisk bindende del af traktaten, fastslog han.
- even in the field of the common foreign and security policy, where it has no decision-making powers, the European Parliament acquires a general right to be informed and consulted.
Med Lissabon-traktaten bliver EU mere effektiv og får mulighed for at vise et fælles ansigt udadtil, fortsatte Richard Corbett.
(2) In conclusion it may be said that, although it might have been possible to go further in certain areas, the European Parliament acquires powers of codecision in virtually all areas of Union policy.
Han havde hellere set, at EU havde fået en egentlig forfatning, men han erkendte, at kravet om at opnå et ja i samtlige 27 medlemsstater var for højt.
Basically, this is a matter of putting into practice the twofold legitimacy of the EU as a Union of States and of citizens, which, despite the lack of any explicit recognition of its importance in the new Treaties, is the basis for the European integration process.
Han konkluderede, at Lissabon-traktaten er et godt kompromis for borgerne og for Europa.
The Treaty of Lisbon thus undeniably represents a significant enhancement of the democratic dimension of the Union.
Derfor anbefalede han alle at sige ja.
(3) The number of Members of the European Parliament is limited to 751.
Lissabon-traktaten giver de nødvendige redskaber
Debate preceding the vote
Medordføreren, Íñigo MÉNDEZ DE VIGO (PPE-DE, ES), glædede sig over det positive samarbejde i udvalget.
MEPs debated the Lisbon Treaty ahead of a key vote on the report prepared by Richard CORBETT (PES, UK) )and Íñigo MÉNDEZ DE VIGO (EPP-ED, ES).
Han understregede, at Lissabon-traktaten i realiteten er den politiske løsning på krisen efter folkeafstemningen i Frankrig og Holland.
The EP's powers would be enhanced in other areas too, enabling it to elect the president of the European Commission and giving it full power over the budget and agriculture.
Det er måden, vi løser tingene på her i Europa, sagde han.
"This treaty, if nothing else, is a massive increase in democracy in Europe", Mr Corbett argued.
I den forbindelse konkluderede han, at Lissabon-traktaten nok er mindre ambitiøs end forgængeren, men efter hans mening er det dog lykkedes at bevare de væsentligste elementer.
Thirdly, the treaty will make the EU more effective, for example by extending the use of qualified majority voting and rationalising the size of the Commission.
EU bliver mere demokratisk, mere effektiv og frem for alt bedre til at skabe merværdi for borgerne, sagde han.
Concluding, Mr Corbett reiterated his main point, that the new treaty would make the European Union "more democratic, more effective and more friendly to citizens".
Vi skal huske på, at vi er borgernes repræsentanter, og vi må søge at indfri deres forventninger, fortsatte Íñigo Méndez de Vigo.
Endorsing Mr Corbett's description of the new treaty, Mr Méndez de Vigo, said it had preserved "the essential points" of the Constitution, in that it was "more democratic, more effective and gives added value for citizens".
Efter hans mening giver Lissabon-traktaten de nødvendige redskaber til at gøre dette, såfremt den politiske vilje er til stede.
We still need the political will but at least with this treaty we will have the tools", he stressed.
Traktat til tiden
European Council
Den fungerende rådsformand, den slovenske statssekretær for europæiske anliggender, Janez LENARČIČ, glædede sig over, at Lissabon-traktaten vil give større effektivitet, mere demokrati og bedre gennemskuelighed i EU.
Among the treaty's advantages, Mr Lenarčič listed safeguarding efficient functioning, simplifying decision-taking, enhancing transparency and democracy and bringing the Union closer to citizens.
Han mindede om, at traktaten efter planen, og hvis alt går vel, skal træde i kraft allerede den 1. januar 2009.
He acknowledged that the treaty's ratification is the sovereign preserve of Member States, but hoped that it would proceed smoothly, so that the treaty can take effect at the start of 2009.
Derfor følger det slovenske EU-formandskab ratifikationsprocessen nøje.
He looked forward to the simplified decision-taking arrangements that the treaty would bring, and to co-operating with the EU's future presidencies.
Samtidig arbejder man tæt sammen med Kommissionen og det kommende franske EU-formandskab for at sikre, at de nødvendige praktiske foranstaltninger gennemføres til tiden, således at traktaten kan træde i kraft uden problemer.
Many elements of the treaty will need to be worked on with Parliament and the Commission, which must assume their respective responsibilities, he concluded.
Relevante opgaver
European Commission
Næstformand i EU-Kommissionen, Margot WALLSTRÖM, fremhævede behovet for at tage fat på opgaver, der er relevante for borgerne i EU.
"It's important to do the right things, but also to do things right", said Commission Vice-President Margot WALLSTRÖM , citing policies in areas such as climate change, energy and agriculture.
Hun henviste til, at der nu bliver en direkte sammenhæng mellem udfaldet af valget til Europa-Parlamentet og valget af formand for EU-Kommissionen.
The loss of constitutional symbols, and the extension of national "opt-ins", was "the price we had to pay for agreement", said Ms Wallström, who nonetheless warned that although the ratification is under way, there is "no inevitability" about it.
Hun pegede også på det styrkede samarbejde med de nationale parlamenter og på borgerinitiativet.
During the ratification period, communication with citizens would be vital, she said, stressing that the Commission will work closely with national authorities and the European Parliament's national offices to inform citizens about the treaty and EU policies in areas that they care about, such as climate change, growth and jobs, and the EU's global role.
Sidstnævnte indebærer, at 1 mio. borgere i EU med deres underskrift kan forpligte Kommissionen til at tage en sag op.
At the same time, the Commission is preparing proposals on how to help the EU to "connect with citizens", she said.
Margot Wallström understregede, at Kommissionen også vil gøre alt for at traktaten kan træde i kraft som planlagt den 1. januar 2009.
The radical change will be the upgrading of the High Representative for Foreign Policy to Vice-President of the Commission and Chair of the Council.
Hun fremhævede, at Kommissionen vil arbejde sammen med de nationale myndigheder og Parlamentets informationskontorer i medlemsstaterne for at sikre, at borgerne bliver informeret fyldestgørende om Lissabon-traktaten.
It was paramount, he said, that these new arrangements come into force immediately following the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty, otherwise it would lead to cynicism amongst public opinion and confusion from third countries.
Større handlekraft
Political group speakers
Joseph DAUL (PPE-DE, FR) roste ordførerne for et godt stykke arbejde, men fremhævede i al venskabelighed, at det er det, de får deres løn for.
Speaking on behalf of the EPP-ED group, Joseph DAUL (FR) first pointed out that five Member States had already ratified the Lisbon Treaty and that Poland had announced it was starting the process.
Han fastslog, at Lissabon-traktaten er af afgørende betydning for at sætte gang i hjulene i Europa igen.
He listed in more detail the benefits of the treaty - highlighting among other things the right of Europe's citizens, if a million people sign a petition, to ask the Commission to take action - before calling for speedy completion of the ratification process so that it can enter into force by 2009.
Den vil frem for alt give EU større handlekraft såvel internt i Europa som udenfor.
After comparing the situation in Europe and the world today with that obtaining at various points over the last 100 years, he then asked "where will be in 25, in 50, in 100 years from now?".
Han glædede sig over, at demokratiet bliver styrket i EU.
Speaking for ALDE group Andrew DUFF (UK) said the world waits for the EU with a stronger capacity to act on the world stage.
I den forbindelse pegede han på Parlamentets øgede indflydelse gennem en udvidet anvendelse af den fælles beslutningsprocedure, samarbejdet med de nationale parlamenter og borgerinitiativet.
Mr Duff said that, given the work completed at the Convention and the Intergovernmental Conference, quarrels over institutional wrangling should have been settled "for a substantial amount of time".
Han glædede sig ligeledes over, at Charteret for Grundlæggende Rettigheder bliver juridisk bindende, og at der vil blive en udvidet anvendelse af afgørelser med kvalificeret flertal i Rådet.
He looked forward to an improved quality of legislation flowing from Brussels and Strasbourg.
Efter Joseph Daul's mening vil dette gøre EU til en mere handlekraftig og mere troværdig aktør på verdensplan.
Mr Duff said that there were those that wanted to turn the clock back to the 19th century including the British Conservative Party.
Vi skal ikke blot være aktive på det økonomiske område, men også på det politiske område, sagde han.
The UK government, he said, was "too frightened" to stand up for the full Treaty as the UK opt-outs had demonstrated.
