Debat om transport af dyr
Animal transport: MEPs debate non-enforcement of rules
Mange dyr lider voldsomt under lange transporter på de europæiske motorveje Selv om EU i årevis har arbejdet for større dyrevelfærd, herunder strengere regler for dyretransporter, dukker der jævnligt nye sager op med mishandling af dyr.
MEPs will debate enforcement of animal welfare rules Thursday Rules to protect animals aren't being enforced properly according to two British MEPs who will raise the issue in a debate in Parliament on Thursday morning.
Landbrugsudvalget vedtog for nylig en mundtlig forespørgsel om lovgivningen vedrørende dyretransport.
The fate of horses being moved around Europe in lorries is of particular concern.
Vi talte med to MEP er, der begge har et stort kendskab til emnet.
The debate can be seen live online from 1000 am.
"Jeg har været i regelmæssig kontakt med mange organisationer, der har betydelige beviser for, at den eksisterende lovgivning ikke bliver håndhævet" siger formanden for Parlamentets landbrugsudvalg, Neil Parish (EPP-ED, Storbritannien).
The chair of Parliament's Agriculture Committee Neil Parish said that reports he received from organisations contain "significant evidence that the existing legislation is not being enforced in several member states".
"Min største bekymring er hestene, som har særlige behov.
"My biggest concern is for horses" said Mr Parish.
De er ikke egnet til de lange afstande.
"They are ill-suited to long distance travel and have specific needs.
Lovgivningen blev udformet med henblik pål at beskytte dem.
The legislation was designed to protect them, now it just needs to be enforced."
Nu er det bare et spørgsmål om, at lovgivningen bliver håndhævet."
The Liberal Democrat MEP Liz Lynne told us "there is now overwhelming evidence showing EU rules meant to protect the welfare of horses...are being flouted, resulting in inhumane conditions and needless suffering."
Britiske Liz Lynne (ALDE) mener, at der nu er "overvældende beviser" for, at der bliver set let på EU-reglerne for transport af heste, hvilket resulterer i helt unødvendige lidelser: "Heste bliver pakket som sardiner i stållastbiler, hvor temperaturerne ofte er oppe på over 40 grader.
The British Member said that "horses are being packed like sardines into steel lorries where temperatures can be above 40 degrees and might be transported for thousands of miles with no food or water, causing injury or even death."
Derefter transporteres de tusindvis af kilometer uden mad eller vand."
"Nothing seems to be done"
Lynne understreger, at EU's regeringer og Kommissionen skal gøre mere for at sikre, at reglerne håndhæves korrekt: "Jeg håber, at min skriftlige erklæring og denne debat vil skabe opmærksomhed, både blandt mine parlamentariske kolleger samt i offentligheden i al almindelighed."
Ms Lynne said "I hope Thursday's debate will raise awareness of the issue, both among my fellow MEPs and among the public in general, and will be a step towards alleviating the avoidable trauma these animals are subjected to."

Den europæiske Charlemagne-ungdomspris 2009:
Charlemagne Youth Prize 2009 - new deadline for applications The deadline for the submission of applications for the Charlemagne Youth Prize has been postponed to 16th February.
Deadline for at sende ansøgninger til Charlemagne-ungdomsprisen 2009 er blevet udsat til den 16. februar, for at give flere kandidater mulighed for at deltage i konkurrencen.
The procedure for the submission of applications is simple and straightforward.
Charlemagne-ungdomsprisen henvender sig til unge mellem 16 og 30, som har arbejdet med projekter, der hjælper med til at fremme samarbejde og forståelse mellem indbyggerne i forskellige europæiske lande.
The Charlemagne Youth Prize targets young people aged between 16 and 30 who have been involved with projects helping to promote understanding between peoples of different European countries.
Europa-Parlamentet og Stiftelsen for Den Internationale Charlemagne-pris i Aachen står bag Den europæiske Charlemagne-ungdomspris, som vil give præmier på mellem 2000 € (ca. 14.900 kr) og 5000 € (ca. 37.250 kr) euro til de bedste projekter, der er med til at skabe en fælles forståelse for EU-udvikling, integration og spørgsmål vedrørende europæisk identitet.
Organised by the European Parliament and the Foundation of the International Charlemagne Prize of Aachen, the Charlemagne Youth Prize winners will receive funding of €2,000 - €5,000 for existing projects that foster a shared sense of European identity and cooperation.
Repræsentanter for de bedste projekter fra hvert af de 27 medlemslande vil blive inviteret til Aachen i Tyskland den 19. maj 2009 for at deltage i overrækkelsesceremonien.
Representatives of the best projects from each of the 27 EU Member States will be invited to Aachen, in Germany, on 19 May 2009, to participate in the award ceremony.
Udover at fremme den europæiske og internationale forståelse, skal vinderprojektet kunne fungere som rollemodel, for hvordan unge europæere lever.
As well as promoting European and international understanding, the winning projects could serve as role models for young people living in Europe.
Organisatorerne er især interesseret i projekter, der viser praktiske eksempler på, hvordan unge europæere lever sammen.
In particular, the organisers are looking for practical examples of Europeans living together.
Det kan f.eks. være arrangementer, der samler unge fra flere lande, udvekslingsaftaler eller internetprojekter med europæisk dimension.
The projects can focus on the organisation of youth events, youth exchanges or Internet projects with a European dimension.
Sidste år var det et ungarsk projekt, 'Studerende uden grænser', der vandt førsteprisen på 5000 euro.
Last year a Hungarian youth project "Students without Boundaries" was awarded the first Charlemagne Youth Prize.
Takket være dette projekt samles mere end hundrede studerende fra Rumænien, Slovakiet, Ungarn, Ukraine og andre lande hvert år til workshops om europæiske emner.
Thanks to this project, more than one hundred students from Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, Ukraine and other countries gather every year for leadership workshops on European issues.
Anden -og tredjepræmien gik til projekter fra henholdsvis Storbritannien og Grækenland.
The second and third prize went to the United Kingdom and Greece respectively.
Deadline for indsendelse af ansøgninger er 16. februar 2009.

Nøgleaktører i gaskonflikt besøgte Europa-Parlamentet
Moscow-Kiev gas stand off: MEPs quiz key players
Gaskonflikten mellem Rusland og Ukraine har alvorlige konsekvenser for EU EU har brug for en fælles og solidarisk energipolitik, der kan sikre europæerne stabil adgang til energiressourcer.
As the gas pressure drops, the political pressure on Moscow is increasing As people in 17 European countries shiver following Russia's stoppage of gas supplies running through Ukraine, MEPs on the Foreign Affairs Committee demanded a single EU energy security policy to protect supplies.
Tvistens centrale aktører - russiske Gazprom og ukrainske Naftogaz - var inviteret til mødet.
Key players, from Russia's Gazprom and Ukrainian Naftogaz, were invited to the meeting in Brussels.
Oleh Dubyna , der er formand for Naftogaz, nægtede at hans selskab har tilbageholdt gas, der var intenderet for det europæiske marked.
Oleh Dubyna, head of Naftogaz, denied that his company was siphoning off gas intended for the European market.
Formanden for Gazprom, Alexei Miller, kunne ikke deltage i mødet, men har haft bilaterale samtaler med Europa-Parlamentets formand.
The head of Gazprom, Alexei Miller, didn't attend the committee meeting, but had talks later with Parliament's President Hans-Gert Pöttering.
Ukraines vicepremierminister, Hryhoriy Nemyria, betegnede konflikten som en "propagandakrig", som "Ukraine ikke er villig til at være en del af".
Hryhoriy Nemyria, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine, spoke of a "propaganda war" over the gas issue, but said "Ukraine is not willing to be part of it".
Den polske MEP Jacek Saryusz-Wolski (EPP-ED) mente, at EU har behov for en fælles politik for energisikkerhed og henviste til en EP-beslutning fra 2007.
The Polish chair of the committee Jacek Saryusz-Wolski said the EU needs a single policy for energy security, referring to Parliament's call in 2007 for this policy to avoid similar crises and to secure supply.
Over halvdelen af EU's medlemsstater er direkte berørt af det russiske stop for gasleverancer.
Of the EU countries affected by the halt to gas supplies from Russia, Bulgaria is among the hardest hit, with supplies to industrial users suspended or cut back and tens of thousands of households without central heating.
I Bulgarien er titusinder af husstande uden centralvarme, og omkring 90 skoler er midlertidigt lukket.
About 90 schools and some companies have closed.
Adrian Severin (PSE, Rumænien) sagde, at "dette er en politisk krise", og at EU i sådanne situationer bør agere som en politisk aktør - ikke blot som et offer.
Romanian Socialist Adrian Severin said, "this is a political crisis with political goals.
Der var bred enighed om behovet for større intern "energisolidaritet".
It involves the EU not only as a victim, but also as a political player."
En repræsentant fra Kommissionen fortalte, at EU hurtigst muligt vil sende et hold tekniske eksperter til Ukraine for at overvåge situationen.
A representative for the European Commission said that a team of technical experts would be sent to Ukraine to monitor the gas situation in a matter of days.
Du kan nedenfor læse mere om det ekstraordinære møde.
The monitors are due to arrive in Kiev on Friday.
Spørgsmålet om Europas gasforsyninger vil blive drøftet den 14. januar i forbindelse med Europa-Parlamentets samling i Strasbourg i næste uge.
European gas supplies will be on the agenda next week when the European Parliament meets in Strasbourg.

REACH - Ny kemikalielovgivning sikrer registrering af 30.000 stoffer
REACH: New EU chemicals legislation
Fremover skal det være op til producenterne af kemikalier at bevise, at deres stoffer ikke er farlige, og de farligste stoffer skal udskiftes.
The chemicals regulation, known as REACH, is meant to protect public health and the environment without threatening European competitiveness.
Den nye kemikalielovgivning, som var en af de største lovgivningspakker i EU nogensinde, har til formål at beskytte miljøet og borgernes sundhed - uden at det skal være en trussel for virksomhedernes konkurrencedygtighed.
It obliges producers to register all chemical substances produced or imported above 1 tonne per year.
Omkring 30.000 kemiske stoffer skal registreres ifølge det nye system.
Registration affects about 30,000 substances.
MEP'erne var blandt andet med til at sikre brugen af alternativer til dyreforsøg, når de mange stoffer skal testes.
Promotion of alternatives to animal testing of chemicals was an issue of prime concern to MEPs.

A new regulation on pesticides adopted by Parliament will phase out the use of certain highly toxic chemicals in the manufacture of these products.
Det lykkedes de danske MEP'ere at sikre, at Danmark kan beholde sine strenge regler, da vi som et af de eneste lande bruger urenset grundvand til drikkevand.
O ther risky substances will have to be replaced with safer alternatives.
MEP'erne var også med til at forbyde det meste sprøjtning af marker fra luften, samt brugen af sprøjtegifte tæt på parker og legepladser.
