Bedre adgang til uddannelse, beskæftigelse og bolig; beskyttelse af grundlæggende rettigheder, bekæmpelse af forskelsbehandling på alle niveauer samt strammere overvågning af EU-midler er de prioriteter, som MEP'erne fremlægger.
Equal access for Roma to employment, education and quality housing, the protection of fundamental rights, better use of EU funding and fighting against discrimination at all levels are among MEPs' main aims.
Prioriteterne vil kræve en større indsats fra lokale, nationale og EU-myndigheder for at integrere romabefolkningen.
This will require greater effort from local, national and EU authorities.
Kommissionen bør fremlægge en køreplan for disse prioriteter med bindende minimumsstandarder på EU-plan, og der bør være sanktioner over for medlemslande, der ikke overholder de nye prioriteter.
The Commission should present a roadmap with binding minimum standards at EU level and Member States should face penalties for non-compliance, says the draft resolution, drawn up for the Civil Liberties Committee by Lívia Járóka (EPP, HU).

Parlamentet debatterer traktatændring i forbindelse med stabilitetsmekanismen
EP to debate Treaty change to allow eurozone stability mechanism
MEPerne debatterer Det Europæiske Råds forslag om en begrænset traktatændring for at muliggøre oprettelsen af en permanent stabilitetsmekanisme i eurozonen.
MEPs will debate the proposal of the European Council to make a limited Treaty change to allow a permanent stability mechanism to be set up for the eurozone.
Afstemningen forventes at finde sted den 23.-24. marts under mini-plenaren i Bruxelles.
The plenary vote is expected to take place at the session of 23-24 March.
EU's medlemsstater besluttede under topmødet den 16. - 17. december 2010 at tillade en mindre traktatændring for at muliggøre oprettelsen af en permanent krisemekanisme, der skal sikre stabiliteten i eurozonen.
The EU Member States decided at their summit of 16-17 December 2010 on a limited Treaty change allowing the creation of a permanent crisis mechanism to safeguard the eurozone's stability.
Denne "revision af artikel 136" i Traktaten kræver, at Parlamentet, Kommissionen og Den Europæiske Centralbank høres.
This "revision of Article 136" of the Treaty requires consultation of Parliament, Commission and the European Central Bank.
Efter Rådsmødet skal ændringen stadig ratificeres af alle 27 medlemslande.
Thereafter, it still needs to be ratified by all 27 Member States.
Den permanente stabilitetsmekanisme forventes at kunne træde i kraft 1. januar 2013.
The target date for the entry into force of the permanent stability mechanism is 1 January 2013.

100-året for kvinderettigheder: Ligeløn og fattigdom volder stadig problemer
100 years of women's rights - but inequality and poverty persist
I anledning af 100-årsdagen for Kvindernes Internationale Kampdag stemmer MEP'erne om to resolutioner fremsat af Udvalget for Kvinders Rettigheder: Det ene om ligestilling mellem kønnene, det andet om fattigdom blandt kvinder.
Parliament will mark the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day (Tuesday 8 March) with a debate and vote on two resolutions tabled by the Women's Rights Committee: one on gender equality and the other on female poverty.
Alle EU's politikker bør tage kønsperspektivet med i betragtning, siger MEP'erne, der
A press conference then takes place at 12 noon in the press conference room with Mr Buzek, Commissioner Viviane Reding and Women's Rights Committee chair Eva-Britt Svensson.
Bekæmpelse af ulighed
Tackling inequality
Behovet for at indsnævre de kønsbestemte lønforskelle, skaffe flere kvinder ind i beslutningstagende stillinger samt øge beskæftigelsesfrekvensen for kvinder er blandt hovedpunkterne i resolutionsudkastet, der ledsager 2010-årsrapporten om ligestilling mellem mænd og kvinder i EU.
The need to narrow the gender pay gap, to get more women in decision-making positions and to raise the female employment rate are among key points in the draft resolution accompanying the 2010 annual report on equality between women and men in the EU, drafted by Mariya Nedelcheva (EPP, BG).
Kun 3% af de større virksomheder ledes af en kvinde.
Only 3% of major companies are chaired by a woman.
Medlemsstaterne bør derfor træffe effektive foranstaltninger, som fx indførslen af kvoter, for at sikre en større deltagelse af kvinder i store børsnoterede virksomheder samt i virksomheders bestyrelser generelt, siger MEP'erne og fremhæver Norge som et positivt eksempel, der nu følges op af Spanien og Frankrig.
Member States should therefore take effective measures, such as quotas, to ensure greater representation for women in major listed companies and on the management boards of companies in general, say MEPs, citing Norway as a positive example, followed by Spain and France.
Udryddelse af fattigdom
Eliminating poverty
De tre efterfølges af formanden for Kvindeudvalget og talere fra de politiske grupper.
All EU common policies should have a gender perspective, stresses the resolution.

Iran: Nye sanktioner for menneskerettighedskrænkelser?
Priorities for Parliament's 2012 budget
Irans henrettelse af den hollandsk-iranske kvinde Sarah Bahrami fordømmes skarpt.
The resolution, drafted by José Manuel Fernandes (EPP, PT), marks the first step of the EP's internal budget procedure.
USA indførte fra september 2010 lignende foranstaltninger.
Mr Schmitt was a Member of the European Parliament for the Fidesz party (EPP group), including a stint as EP Vice-President, before becoming president of his country in August 2010.
Den iranske regering opfordres til at indføre et stop for henrettelser.
MEPs want the Commission to give an assessment of the current agreement, including the way EU funds are used, and to explain its plans for ensuring that fishing activities in that area are carried out sustainably.
I forhold til Irans fortsatte afvisning af at samarbejde med Det Internationale Atomenergiagentur (IAEA), mener MEPerne, at "yderligere sanktioner er blevet en logisk konsekvens".
Parliament's main concern is to preserve a balance between the economic development of Mauritania and the conservation of resources.
Sanktionerne skal rettes mod iranske embedsmænd, ikke mod den iranske befolkning som helhed, advarer de.
An eco-efficient and globally competitive knowledge industry could act as a launch pad for sustainable growth and employment in Europe, according to a draft resolution by the Industry Committee.

... at Europa-Kommissionen fra 2010 er nødt til at overveje at udarbejde ny EU-lovgivning, såfremt dette ønskes af mindst én million EU-borgere.
...that as of 2010 the European Commission will have to consider drafting a new EU law if so requested by at least one million EU citizens.
Det sker med det såkaldte borgerinitiativ, der indgår i Lissabon-traktaten, som tillader borgere fra mindst en fjerdedel af medlemsstaterne at fremsætte et lovforslag.
This citizens' initiative, included in the Lisbon Treaty, will allow "citizens' committees" consisting of people from at least one fourth of the Member States to register an initiative with the Commission.
Efter indsamling og optælling af underskrifter vil Kommissionen afgøre, om der kan fremsættes et nyt lovforslag.
Following the collecting of signatures and their verification, the Commission will decide if a new law can be proposed, and it will have to make its reasons public.

Barbara Matera (Italian, EPP): Vice-Chair of the Women's Rights Committee who is preparing a report on the situation of single mothers in the European Union.
Det er nogle af de centrale målsætninger for medlemmerne af udvalget om kvinders rettigheder og ligestilling.
Bulgarian Mariya Nedelcheva (EPP) : Member of the Women's Rights Committee responsible for this year's report on equality between women and men in the EU 2010.
Mellem den 3. og 8. marts fejrede Europa-Parlamentet 100-års dagen for Kvindernes Internationale Kampdag.

100-året for kvinders rettigheder: Kampen fortsætter
Women's rights one hundred years on: the fight continues
Parlamentet markerede 100-året for kvindernes internationale kampdag tirsdag den 8. marts med debat og afstemning om to resolutioner fremsat af Udvalget for Kvinders Rettigheder: den ene om ligestilling og den anden om fattigdom blandt kvinder.
Some of the sights as the European Parliament celebrated a centenary of International Women's Day Parliament marked the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day (Tuesday 8 March) with a debate and vote on two resolutions tabled by the Women's Rights Committee: one on gender equality and the other on female poverty.
En tredje resolution om begrænsning af uligheder på sundhedsområdet i EU blev også vedtaget.
A third resolution, on reducing health inequalities, was also adopted.
Medlemsstaterne bør derfor foretage de nødvendige foranstaltninger og sikre en juridisk ramme, der kan fremme repræsentationen af kvinder i Europa-Parlamentet".
Member States should therefore adopt relevant decisions and a legal framework to boost the presence of women in the EP".
Kommissionsformand José Manuel Barroso, Europaminister Enikö Györi for det ungarske formandskab og formanden for Europa-Parlamentets udvalg for Kvinders Rettigheder Eva-Britt Svensson (GUE, SE) samt lederne af de politiske grupper talte også.
European Commission President José Manuel Barroso, the Hungarian Presidency's secretary of state for European affairs Enikő Győri, EP Women's Rights Committee chair Eva-Britt Svensson (GUE/NGL, SV) and speakers for Parliament's political groups also took the floor.
Behovet for at indsnævre de kønsbestemte lønforskelle, få flere kvinder ind i beslutningstagende stillinger samt øge kvindernes beskæftigelsesfrekvens er blandt de vigtigste punkter i resolutionen, der ledersager 2010-årsrapporten om ligestilling mellem mænd og kvinder i EU.
The need to narrow the gender pay gap, to get more women in decision-making positions and to raise the female employment rate are among key points in the resolution accompanying the 2010 annual report on equality between women and men in the EU, drafted by Mariya Nedelcheva (EPP, BG) and adopted by 366 in favour, 200 against and 32 abstentions.
Resolutionen, udarbejdet af Maiya Nedelcheva (EPP, BG) og vedtaget med 366 stemmer for, 200 imod og 32 udeladelser, fremhæver også betydningen af bedre børnepasningsfaciliteter og muligheder for forædreorlov.
The importance of better child care facilities and child-related leave is also highlighted.
Resolutionen påpeger, at undersøgelser har beregnet, at BNP ville vokse med 30 %, hvis tallene for kvinders beskæftigelsesgrad, deltidsfrekvens og produktivitet var de samme som for mændenes vedkommende.
If women’s employment, part-time employment and productivity rates were similar to men’s, GDP would increase by 30%, says the resolution.
Retten til ligeløn
Enforce equal pay
Den gennemsnitlige lønforskel mellem mænd og kvinder er stadig 18% på EU-plan og endda over 30% i én medlemsstat, bemærker MEP'erne, som opfordrer Medlemsstaterne til at håndhæve retten til lige løn for lige arbejde ordentligt og opfordrer samtidigt Kommissionen til at indføre sanktioner mod dem, der ikke håndhæver princippet.
The pay gap between men and women still averages 18% in the EU and even exceeds 30% in one Member State, noted MEPs, urging EU Member States to implement equal pay for equal work laws properly and calling on the European Commission to impose sanctions on those that fail to do so.
Næsten 85 millioner mennesker i EU levede i 2008 under fattigdomsgrænsen, heraf levede 17% af EU's kvinder i fattigdom bemærker resolutionen "om fattigdom blandt kvinder i Den Europæiske Union", udarbejdet af Rovana Plumb (S&D, RO) og vedtaget ved håndsoprækning.
Nearly 85 million people in the EU were living below the poverty line in 2008, and 17% of all women in the EU were living in poverty, notes the second resolution - on the face of female poverty - drafted by Rovana Plumb (S&D, RO).
Den økonomiske krise kan forværre ulighed i sundhed
Economic crisis could widen health inequalities
Europa-Parlamentet understreger i en tredje resolution af Edite Estrela (S&D, PT)- ligeledes vedtaget tirsdag med stemmerne 379 for, 228 imod og 49 udeladelser - at alle bør have adgang til sundhedsydelser og sundhedspleje til en overkommelig pris.
In a third resolution adopted today, Parliament underlines that everybody should have access to healthcare systems and affordable healthcare.
Der bør i højere grad tages højde for de særlige behov hos udsatte grupper som kvinder, ældre patienter, illegale immigranter og etniske minoriteter.
The specific needs of vulnerable groups such as women, older patients, undocumented migrants, ethnic minorities, need to be taken better into account.
Den forventede levealder inden for EU har vist sig at variere 14,2 år for mændenes vedkommende og 8,3 år for kvindernes (ifølge tal fra Eurostat 2007 og 2010).
Life expectancy has been shown to vary across EU Member States by 14.2 years for men and 8.3 years for women (Eurostat figures for 2007 and 2010 respectively), says the resolution, which was drafted by Edite Estrela (S&D, PT) and adopted by 379 votes to 228 with 49 abstentions.
Også inden for de enkelte lande er der store forskelle i sundhedstilstanden mellem grupper med forskellig social- og uddannelsesbaggrund.
Also within countries, groups of different education levels and social situations have widely differing health prospects.

Bedre forhold for kvinder på barselsorlov
Edite Estrela: "The fact that the law defends women does not mean that they're defended by society"
Edite Estrela "Hvis der er politisk vilje, er det muligt at nå frem til et afbalanceret resultat, der tager hensyn til ikke blot den økonomiske situation i EU, men også til borgernes forventninger og rettigheder", fortæller portugisiske Edite Estrela (S&D), som har udarbejdet en betænkning, der anbefaler en nedre grænse på 20 ugers barselsorlov for kvinder i EU.
Portuguese MEP Edite Estrela (S&D) "It's a message of hope but also of great responsibility" "The financial and economic crises that we are living through are used as an alibi" "If there is political will, it's possible to reach a balanced result that takes into account not only the economic situation of the EU but also the expectations of citizens and the rights of children".
Hvad er dit budskab til kvindernes internationale kampdag?
What is your message for International Women's Day?
Det er et budskab om håb men også om stor ansvarlighed.
It's a message of hope but also of great responsibility.
Den omstændighed, at loven beskytter kvinder, er ikke ensbetydende med, at samfundet beskytter dem.
The fact that the law defends women does not mean that they're defended by society, because society always comes after law.
Vores mentalitet ændres ikke ved et dekret, men lovgivningen hjælper meget i forhold til opinionsdannelsen.
It's important to have progressive legislation so that it can have an impact on society.
Vi må gøre os bevidst., at vi ikke kan tage noget for givet.
We don't change mentalities by decree, but legislation helps a lot in the formation of opinion and we should be aware that we cannot take anything for granted.
Jeg tror på, at vi kan skabe et samfund med ligestilling mellem kønnene, i det mindste i Europa.
The path we have taken over the last decades has allowed us to make extensive steps forward.
