I forhold til finansieringen af udenrigspolitikken, mener Parlamentet, at det samlede beløb på 1,7 mia. euro, som er sat af til perioden 2007-2013 er utilstrækkeligt, hvis EU's ambitioner om at blive en global aktør skal føres ud i livet, men erkender samtidig, at det sammenlignet med tidligere er et vigtigt skridt fremad.
"The Council's practice of merely informing Parliament and submitting a descriptive list of CFSP activities carried out in the previous year, instead of really consulting Parliament at the beginning of each year [...] constitutes a de facto infringement of the very substance of Article 21" of the EU treaties says the report.
20070516IPR06767 Betænkning om årsrapporten fra Rådet til Europa-Parlamentet om de vigtigste aspekter og de principielle valg inden for FUSP, herunder deres finansielle virkninger for Den Europæiske Unions almindelige budget (afsnit H, punkt 40, i den interinstitutionelle aftale af 6. maj 1999) - 2005
It therefore calls for more active consultation of the Parliament on the CFSP in general, while also calling for additional powers, for instance "by conferring on Parliament the authority to appoint, and dismiss, the Counter-Terrorism Coordinator and the Directors of SitCen, the EU Satellite Centre (EUSC) and Eurojust."
Frem og tilbage med sundhedsydelser i servicedirektivet
MEPs urge EU action on health services
Egen-initiativ-betænkningen af Bernadette VERGNAUD (PSE, FR) blev vedtaget med 514 stemmer for og 132 stemmer imod.
The own-initiative report, as amended, was backed by 514 votes in favour to 132 against with 8 abstentions.
Flere og flere patienter vælger at lade sig behandle i et andet EU-land, og det er med det i baghovedet, at MEP'erne foreslår, at alle medlemslande skal behandle alle EU borgere på lige vilkår i forhold til at få adgang til behandling - uanset om det er 'offentlige' eller 'private' patienter.
Anticipating possible legislation on patients' mobility in the EU and reacting to a Commission consultation document on "Community action in the field of health care services", MEPs voted on a series of recommendations on EU action in the health sector.
Men selv om patienter skal have frihed til at vælge at blive behandlet i et andet land, skal man ikke aktivt forsøge at opfordre til 'hospitals-turisme".
Bearing in mind the progressive increase in cross-border mobility of patients and health professionals, MEPs agree that - with regard to access to health services - Member States should treat all EU residents on an equal basis, "regardless of whether they are private or public patients".
Betænkningen af Bernadette Vergnaud giver en række anbefalinger i forhold til EU og sundhedssektoren forud for eventuelle nye regler om patientmobilitet i EU og som en reaktion på Kommissionens meddelelse om, hvilke initiativer EU skal tage i forhold til sundhedsydelser.
Noting how difficult it is to obtain clear and precise information on health care, the Parliament called for the creation of "single points of contact" for patients, health professionals and healthcare institutions.
Eftersom 'traktaten [...] og Domstolens praksis finder anvendelse på sundhedsydelser" konkluderede MEP'erne, at udbydere af sundhedsydelser fuldt ud kan etablere sig og levere deres ydelser i en anden medlemsstat, hvis de overholder nationale regler og EU-regler.
Since "Treaty rules [...], as well as the jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice (ECJ), apply to health services, health service providers are fully entitled to establish and provide services in any Member State, following national and EU rules" says the report.
Større indsats for at fremme anstændigt arbejde i EU og på verdensplan
More effort needed to promote decent work for all
For bedre at fremme anstændigt arbejde til alle, opfordrer Europa-Parlamentet medlemslandene og kandidatlandene til at ratificere og implementere alle de relevante konventioner fra ILO (International Labour Organisation).
MEPs gave strong backing to a report by the Employment and Social Affairs Committee which seeks to promote decent work for everyone, both inside and outside the EU.
MEP'erne går også ind for udviklingsprogrammer til anstændigt arbejde, og opfordrer medlemslandene til at overveje minimumslønninger, som værn mod udnyttelse.
The report urges EU Member States and candidate countries to ratify and fully implement all relevant conventions of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and calls for a decent work development programme and minimum wages.
I egen-initiativbetænkningen beklager ordføreren Marie PANAYOTOPOULOS-CASSIOTOU (PPE-DE, GR), at mange lande ikke har ratificeret ILO-konventionerne om sundhed og sikkerhed på arbejdspladsen.
The own-initiative report voices disappointment that most countries have not ratified the ILO Conventions on health and safety at work, maternity protection and migrant workers.
EU skal også overveje at oprette mekanismer, der kan overvåge den parallelle udvikling af handel og anstændigt arbejde.
In addition, the EU should consider setting up mechanisms to monitor the parallel evolution of trade and decent work at European and international level.
Ifølge Parlamentet skal handelsaftaler med lande, som alvorligt og systematisk overtræder fundamentale sociale rettigheder, blive midlertidigt suspenderet.
Trade preferences with countries "which seriously and systematically breach fundamental social rights" should be temporarily suspended, says the report.
MEP'erne foreslår også, at ILO skal kunne komme med ekspert -rapporter til verdenshandelsorganisationen WTO i de tilfælde, hvor der er strid om overtrædelsen af internationale konventioner, og hvor ILO's beslutninger skal tages i betragtning.
It also proposes that the ILO be authorised to submit expert reports to the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in cases where the violation of international conventions is disputed and where the ILO's decisions have to be taken into account.
Desuden skal overholdelse af internationale arbejdsstandarder være en del af forhandlingerne i forhold til optagelsen af nye lande i WTO.
Moreover, compliance with international work standards should be part of the negotiations for the accession of new member states to the WTO.
Ole Christensen gik også ind for et særligt EU-produktmærke, som dog ikke fik forsamlingens opbakning under afstemningen.
The report was drafted on behalf of the Employment Committee by Marie Panayotopoulos-Cassiotou (EPP-ED, EL).
Balkenende: Det skal ikke være en forfatning
Balkenende tells MEPs: We need a new treaty and a more democratic EU
Den hollandske premierminister Jan Peter Balkenende løftede under debatten i Parlamentet onsdag eftermiddag sløret for nogle af de nederlandske visioner i forhold til en kommende ny traktat.
Dutch PM Jan Peter Balkenende told MEPs: "The Netherlands is in favour of a more traditional document, in the same vein as the Treaties of Amsterdam or Nice.
De nationale parlamenters rolle skal styrkes, og endelig ønsker Balkenende, at Københavnerkriterierne kommer med i en ny traktat.
The Dutch Prime Minister addressed the EP just one day after Italian Prime Minister had also set out his vision to MEPs.
Formanden for Parlamentet, Hans-Gert PÖTTERING, bød den nederlandske premierminister velkommen til Parlamentet og understregede, at Nederlandene altid havde været blandt dem, der ønskede at drive den europæiske integrationsproces fremad.
Parliament's President, Hans-Gert PÖTTERING , welcomed the Dutch Prime Minister to the EP and emphasised that the Netherlands had always been at the head of those "who seek to drive forward the European integration process".
Pöttering fandt det derfor ikke desto mindre smertefuldt, at befolkningen havde stemt mod forfatningstraktaten.
It was therefore "all the more painful to us" that its citizens had voted against the Constitutional Treaty.
Et nej, som Pöttering var overbevist om, ikke var et nej til selve unionen.
Mr Pöttering was, however, convinced that this did not represent a "No to the European Union itself".
EU har behov for at blive gjort klar til fremtidens udfordringer, understregede Pöttering, og mente, at det var muligt at finde en løsning, der kunne skabe et effektivt, demokratisk og gennemsigtigt EU.
The Union needed to be made "fit for the challenges of the future" and he believed that a solution could be found which would produce "an effective, democratic and transparent EU".
Jan Peter Balkenende begrundede i sin tale til MEP'erne det hollandske nej til forfatningstraktaten i 2005, og kom med sine visioner om, hvordan EU skulle komme videre.
Still, "a clear majority of voters rejected the Constitutional Treaty in 2005" and now "we must come up with a mutually acceptable solution that does justice to the concerns" this had brought to light.
Om det hollandske nej sagde han blandt andet, at den store udvidelse har været noget som borgene har skullet vænne sig til, og at også udvidelsen af EU's kompetencer var noget, som hollænderne satte spørgsmålstegn ved.
He went on to say "The question ‘Are you in favour of the Constitution for Europe?’ was taken to mean ‘Do you want the EU to assume the character of a state?’ or even ‘Should Europe eventually take the place of the national government?’
"Og derfor er Nederlandene så opsatte på, at det ikke skal kaldes en forfatning," sagde han.
"Some believed Europe was making too many rules or doing things best left to the member states.
For det første ønskede han, at der ikke skulle være tale om en forfatning, men om en traditionel ændringstraktat som Amsterdam eller Nice.
Firstly, a more gradual approach: "the Netherlands is in favour of a more traditional document, in the same vein as the Treaties of Amsterdam or Nice.
Det skulle både være navnet og substansen der skulle diskuteres.
This approach throws a spotlight on the improvements, the democratic safeguards and the increased effectiveness".
For det andet gik den hollandske premierminister ind for, at de nationale parlamenter skulle spille en større rolle.
Secondly, "a more robust subsidiarity test, with an important role for national parliaments".
Forfatningstraktaten var et skridt i den rigtige retning, men der er stadig plads til forbedringer.
The institutional proposals made in the Constitutional Treaty were a step in the right direction.
De nationale parlamenter skal spille en større rolle i forhold til at sikre, at EU-lovgivningen lever op til nærhedsprincippet.
"National parliaments must play a more integral part in assessing whether proposed EU legislation conforms to the subsidiarity principle.
Den øgede rolle til de nationale Parlamenter vil ikke ændre på Europa-Parlamentets beføjelser.
If a majority of national parliaments are opposed to a given proposal, there must be consequences."
For det tredje ønskede Balkenende et mere effektivt Europa.
Thirdly, to be more effective the EU needs more qualified majority voting.
Dette kunne opnås ved flere afstemninger med kvalificeret flertal, men også her skulle der være klare grænser for EU's beføjelser for at imødekomme de bekymringer, der er i forhold til at miste suverænitet.
But "we must recognise that countries are afraid to relinquish their vetoes, afraid that the EU will extend its competences by stealth.
'Der er mange, der har deres tvivl om udvidelsen.
Fourthly, "enlargement criteria should be included in the new Treaty".
I Nederlandene er der en opfattelse af, at EU ikke tager sine egne regler alvorligt i den forbindelse.
He stressed that "In the Netherlands there is a perception that the Union does not take its own rules seriously.
Balkenende sluttede af med at citere Robert Schumans erklæring fra den 9. maj 1950:
These criteria should therefore be included the new Treaty."
Talerne fra de politiske grupper
A Union that has the trust of its people."
"Vi må derfor overbevise europæerne om, at væres fælles projekt ikke blot er en fordel, men at det er absolut nødvendigt," sagde Daul.
Consequently, "We must persuade the Europeans that our shared project is not just beneficial but absolutely indispensable".
"Forfatningstraktaten indeholder mange af svarene på befolkningernes bekymringer, og vi må bruge det bedste fra traktaten.
In his view, the draft treaty did in fact contain most of the answers to the concerns voiced by the people.
Ved at gøre det muligt at træffe effektive og demokratiske beslutninger vil vi gøre europæerne tilfredse, fordi de kan se, at vi er i stand til at løse reelle problemer."
"By enabling ourselves to take decisions both democratically and effectively, we will satisfy the Europeans because we will be able to tackle the real problems".
Til slut sagde Daul, at det er klart, at Europa ikke kan udvides yderligere så længe interne problemer ikke er løst.
Mr Daul agreed but added that it was important to clarify to the public exactly who does what and who is responsible for what, so as to prevent ministers blaming Brussels and vice-versa.
Derfor skal der arbejdes hårdt på at nå en løsning på de institutionelle problemer.
Therefore the priority must be to reach swift agreement on the institutional issues, the key ones being "citizens' rights and the decision-making process".
Martin SCHULZ (PSE, DE) lagde vægt på Balkenendes håb om, at Europa vil koncentrere sig om, det der samler EU og ikke det der skiller, og var tilfreds med at høre, at Nederlandene var klar til at forhandle.
Hitherto, it has seemed that the Netherlands was focussing on what divided us – if you are now ready to go for compromises rather than demanding massive changes in Europe, then I am ready to make a deal with you, and defend you in the Netherlands.”
Problemer med energiforsyning og terrorisme, kan ikke blive løst ved at ty til unilateralisme og populisme.
Tackling energy supply problems or terrorism could not be achieved by retreating into unilateralism. and populism.
Hvis det ikke lykkes Europa at stå sammen, vil vi være overladt til magter som Rusland.
Failing to unite politically would leave Europe at the mercy of powers like Russia.
"Vi skal sætte en stopper for nationale vetoer, vi var brug for bedre demokratisk legitimitet og europæiske institutioner, der kan ændres i takt med tiden, sagde han.
“We need an end to unscrupulous national vetoes, we need better democratic accountability and European institutions which can change with the times” he said, and none of that was possible without the substance of the constitutional treaty, whatever “cosmetic surgery” was needed.
Brian CROWLEY (UEN, IRL) talte på vegne af sin gruppe: "Europas fremtid skal bygge på enhed.
Speaking for the UEN group, Brian CROWLEY (IE) said he had been struck by Mr Balkenende's espousal of the ideals of compromise and consensus.
Europa betyder lighed mellem alle folk i Unionen.
“Europe's future must be based on consensus – and that means equality between nations and peoples.”
Det betyder at man ikke kan køre hårdt frem med firspand og tvinge alle andre til at være med i det samme tempo.
We could not all be forced down the same path, that just made it harder to reach agreement.
"Det er vigtigt med enighed, kompromis og samarbejde, men det er endnu vigtigere, at befolkningerne bakker op om projektet", sagde Crowley.
Energy, pensions, immigration, internal security – much could be achieved consensually, “but some things are still best left to Member States”.
Kathalijne Maria BUITENWEG (Verts/ALE, NL) var i tvivl om, hvorvidt der var blevet lyttet rigtigt til folket.
This was “ideologically driven - if officialdom can ignore rules why should we follow them, people ask.”
"Tror De virkelig, at folk stemte nej fordi de er tilfredse ned den nuværende EU?" spurgte hun og nævnte, at 80 % af dem der havde stemt nej, faktisk gik ind for reformer og mere demokrati og gennemsigtighed i EU.
The way forward to convince people was through “consensus, compromise and cooperation”.
"Det er lidt som den utilfredse kunde, der kommer tilbage til butikken med sin cykel, og får den byttet til et løbehjul i stedet.
Kathalijne Maria BUITENWEG (Greens/EFA, NL) welcomed the fact that the Dutch Prime Minister had taken the opportunity to address the European Parliament.
Jeg vil ikke have et løbehjul.
However, she said that Prime Minister Balkenende had a "selective hearing".
Vi skal have en cykel - der kan bremse, men som også har pedaler, der kan drive det hele frem," sagde hun.
The people, she said, that had voted against the Constitution in the Netherlands had not done so because they wanted less changes to the EU, "are people really happy with the current EU?" she questioned.
Buitenweg mente, at det var i orden ikke at holde endnu en folkeafstemning i Holland, hvis blot man holdt en fælles folkeafstemning i hele Europa.
Eighty per cent of those that had voted "no" in the Netherlands, she said, had done so because they wanted to make the EU more democratic and more changes were needed.
Erik MEIJER (GUE/NGL.
Erik MEIJER (GUE/NGL, NL) said that only yesterday Prime Minister Prodi had told the European Parliament: "that we need to go back to our constituencies to convince people that we need the original Constitutional Treaty".
Han talte for, at de nationale parlamenter skal have mere indflydelse, og mente at der ikke var grund til, at Balkenende skulle lade sig diktere af dem, der stadig holdt fast i forfatningstraktaten.
Finally, he remarked that the Dutch Prime Minister was in a "difficult situation" but he should not follow those that wanted to return to the original text.
Bastiaan BELDER (IND/DEM, NL), var som Nederlandsk MEP glad for, at der for en gangs skyld ikke blevet talt OM Nederlandene men MED dem.
Bastiaan BELDER (IND/DEM, NL) began by stating that "rather than talking about the Netherlands, we need to be talking to the Netherlands."
Han delte Balkenendes bekymringer om de forfatningsmæssige aspirationer med en europæisk præsident og udenrigsminister og ønskede i stedet en ordning, hvor tre medlemskande delte formandskabet.
Mr Belder said that he understood the difficulties Prime Minister Balkenende had with the political aspirations of the Constitutional Treaty, "in particular the idea of having a permanent standing President."
Han mente også, at det var vigtigt at få Københavnerkriterierne med i en ny traktat, men ønskede også at spørgsmålet om, hvor Europas grænser går, skulle være med.
This would, he said, "avoid the power just remaining in the hands of one and all member States would be given the opportunity to take part in the Presidency."
Philip CLAEYS ( ITS, BE) lagde i sin tale vægt på udvidelsen, navnlig spørgsmålet om Tyrkiets optagelse.
For the Identity, Tradition and Sovereignty group, Philip CLAEYS (BE) said that "Dutch voters clearly spoke out against the Constitutional Treaty" and added that "I hope that the voters will be given the opportunity to speak out not just in the Netherlands but in all Member States."
"Forfatningen handler også om grænserne i Europa og om hvorvidt et ikke-europæisk land som Tyrkiet skal være med i EU.
In particular, "whether or not a country such as Turkey should be allowed to accede."
Størstedelen af befolkningerne er imod optagelse og den tager man slet ikke hensyn til," sagde han.
Mr Claeys concluded by saying that "we seem to be acting here in Europe as if there's nothing going on" and yet "we cannot accept the threats and the arrogance that is being expressed in this respect."
Jim ALLISTER (NI, UK) talte på vegne af løsgængerne.
"One has to ask how much energy has been wasted on chasing the moonbeams of a European constitution?" asked Jim ALLISTER (UK), speaking for the Non-attached Members.
"En af grundene til, at EU's institutioner sidder fast i denne elendighed er, at man ikke vil anerkende det demokratiske nej.
"Part of the reason why the EU institutions are stuck in this rut", Mr Allister continued, "is because of the refusal to take a democratic 'No' for an answer."
Man vil have ordninger, så man kan undgå at borgerne får noget at skulle have sagt.
The debates taking place are "dominated...with demands for strategies to avoid letting the citizens have their say."
Jens-Peter BONDE (IND-DEM, DK) talte som den eneste dansker under debatten med Balkenende.
Timothy KIRKHOPE (EPP-ED, UK) stated that the June Summit will be an important one, and he believed that the German Presidency is keen to reach an outline agreement then.
Statsminister, De kan være stolt af det nederlandske folk, som har sagt nej til forfatningen.
The future of the Netherlands lay in Europe and he had no wish to be associated with nationalistic tendencies.
Landbrugsordningerne skal forenkles
CAP: yes to simplification, no to policy changes by the back door
Dog påpeger Parlamentet, at der kun skal være tale om en teknisk forenkling, og at det ikke må være en måde at indføre reformer af bagdøren.
However, MEPs say this decision should be solely "an act of technical simplification" and must not introduce reforms through the back door.
I betænkningen af Niels Busk, som torsdag blev vedtaget med 468 for, 14 imod og 64, der undlod, var MEP'erne enige om, at den nye forordning skal give Kommissionen ansvaret for nogle af de meget tekniske reguleringer (nu ligger reguleringskompetencen i Rådet).
Parliament's report, drafted by Niels Busk (ALDE, DK) and adopted under the consultation procedure by 468 votes to 14 with no abstentions, confirms the position of the EP Agriculture Committee of 8 May.
"For så vidt der udelukkende er tale om bestemmelser af rent teknisk karakter, da finder jeg, at det er meget hensigtsmæssigt, at det overdrages som en reguleringskompetence til Kommissionen, der så kan træffe nogle meget hurtige og effektive beslutninger.
MEPs agree that the new regulation should give the Commission powers to adopt market management decisions of a technical nature, i.e. secondary acts previously adopted by the EU Council of ministers.
Men jeg vil gerne understrege, at enhver beslutning af politisk karakter fortsat skal vedtages efter proceduren i traktatens artikel 37, og dvs. efter høring af Europa-Parlamentet," sagde Niels Busk under debatten onsdag aften.
This will enable decisions to be taken swiftly and effectively.
Han var desuden tilfreds med Kommissionens overordnede idé med at forenkle lovgivningen.
Keep pig market intervention, include wines and fruit and vegetables later
"Det er godt at forenkle, det er godt at skabe åbenhed, det er godt at skabe gennemsigtighed, og det mener jeg i allerhøjeste grad, at dette forslag resulterer i.
All political provisions, however, should continue to be adopted by the Council after consulting the European Parliament, the committee insists.
Denne forenkling er først og fremmest er synlig i lovgivningsteksten, der samlet reduceres fra 600 til 200 sider.
For this reason, Members reject the idea of scrapping the intervention scheme for pig meat as part of this simplification.
Og det siger jo i sig selv, at det her det er noget, der vil noget!, " sagde Busk, som til gengæld var mere kritisk over for Kommissionens idé om at der kun skulle være én forvaltningskomité.
Moreover, MEPs argue that CMOs currently under revision, namely the fruit and vegetable and wine sectors, should not be incorporated into the new regulation yet, as this would prejudge the outcome of the reforms.
"Det er jeg meget skeptisk overfor, fordi jeg ikke kan forestille mig, at en forvaltningskomité kan tilvejebringe den nødvendig ekspertekspertise.
According to Parliament, establishing a single management committee for all agricultural sectors as suggested by the Commission would raise doubts as to how to ensure that the necessary sectoral expertise is available.
Det er så stor forskel på de mange markedsmekanismer, vi har, når vi ser på animalsk produktion og på vegetabilsk produktion, og det gør sig gældende inden for de forskellige sektorer," sagde han.
The report therefore calls for the setting up of four management committees, one for meat, one for dairy products, one for vegetables and one for perennial crops.
De fælles markedsordninger er EU's bestemmelser, der regulerer produktion og handel med landbrugsprodukter i alle medlemsstaterne i Den Europæiske Union (EU).
