Parlamentets bygninger har de seneste par år udelukkende anvendt "grøn elektricitet", hvilket har bidraget til, at institutionens samlede udslip af drivhusgasser er faldet med 17 %.
A proposed new building for the parliament in Luxembourg will benefit from green measures.
Parlamentet er desuden den eneste EU-institution, der er EMAS-certificeret (hvilket blandt andet refererer til en organisations evne at reducere kuldioxid-emissioner og fremme en effektiv anvendelse af energi og vand).
According to Mr Onesta it will have "solar panels, thermo energy from the soil, biomass heating and a fleet of hybrid cars".
Klimaudvalget bakker op om planen Under et møde i det midlertidige udvalg om klimaændringer den 6. november diskuterede MEP´erne de nye tiltag, der skal bidrage til at gøre Parlamentet mere "grønt".
Since 2008 the EP has only been using "green electricity" in its three places of work and has already reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 17%.
Der var bred enighed om vigtigheden af, at Parlamentet går forrest og sender et stærkt signal til andre organisationer og virksomheder.
The Parliament is also the only EU institution to hold an Environmental Management Scheme (EMAS) certification for its work in the promotion of efficient energy, water and paper usage.
Carbon footprint
Are you plugged in to energy saving?
Carbon footprint er et nyt begreb, som dækker over en persons eller en virksomheds udledning af CO2.
Households use 25% of the EU's energy and this figure is rising.
Carbon footprint bliver typisk opgjort i ton og indeholder al menneskelig aktivitet, som medfører et udslip af CO2.
The home is one of the areas where we can all reduce energy use and therefore CO2 emissions.
Det vil sige alt fra bilkørsel til elektricitet til fødevare-præferencer.
Basic steps like turning off the lights and turning down the thermostat can lead to huge savings.

In July consumers across the EU got the right to choose their own gas or electricity suppliers.
Ny energireform skal sikre lavere priser
This move was backed by MEPs.
Spar på energiforbruget i hjemmet Husholdningerne står for 25 % af EU´s samlede energiforbrug, og det er et tal, der stiger år for år.
As winter sets in and the first snows across Europe settle we look at energy in the home.
Hjemmet er formentlig det sted, hvor der er de største muligheder for at spare på energiforbruget.
Energy use in buildings is steadily climbing up the political spectrum.

Did you know that…?
Kommissionens tredje energipakke, der vil blive debatteret i Parlamentet i løbet af vinteren og i foråret 2008, sigter mod at udvide liberaliseringen af gas og elektricitetssektoren yderligere.
It will tackle areas and involve countries where this right is not implemented.
Denne artikel var den første i en række artikler om energiforbrug i EU.
MEPs will debate the package later this year.

Marie Anne Isler Béguin: Georgien regner med vores støtte
"Georgia is counting on us...Europe must not flinch" - Marie Anne Isler Béguin
EU er nødt til at handle Formanden for Europa-Parlamentets delegation til Sydkaukasus, Marie Anne Isler Béguin (V/ALE, Frankrig), er for nyligt hjemvendt fra Georgien, hvor hun repræsenterede Parlamentet i de våbenhvileforhandlinger, der fandt sted umiddelbart efter udbruddet af konflikten mellem Rusland og Georgien.
EU must take tough decisions President of the EP delegation with the South Caucasus countries, Marie Anne Isler Béguin was in Georgia just a few days after the beginning of the conflict in South Ossetia.
Under opholdet besøgte Isler Béguin flere af de områder, der har været direkte berørt af konflikten.
Appointed by EP President Hans-Gert Pöttering to represent the Parliament, she participated in the ceasefire negotiations after the first phase of hostilities, and travelled in some of the areas directly affected.
Efterfølgende afholdte Udenrigsudvalget, Underudvalget om Sikkerhed og Forsvar og Delegationen for Forbindelserne med det sydlige Kaukasus et ekstraordinært møde om situationen i Georgien.
Subsequently, Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee, Subcommittee on Security and Defence and the Delegation for relations with the South Caucasus met on Wednesday 20 August to discuss developments in Georgia.
Den georgiske udenrigsminister, Eka Tkeshelashvili, deltog i mødet, der fandt sted onsdag den 20. august.
Georgian Minister Foreign Affairs Eka Tkeshelashvili was there and called on the EU to send a mission to Georgia
Vi talte med Isler Béguin for at høre, hvad hun mener, at der skal til for at løse den russisk-georgiske konflikt, der har præget de internationale avisers forsider den seneste tid.
We spoke with Ms Isler Béguin on the phone to hear first-hand about what she saw on the ground and to hear her views on possible prescriptions for a resolution of the situation.
Jeg var i Georgien fra den 11. til den 17. august, hvor den russiske hær var meget tæt på hovedstaden Tbilisi.
I was in Georgia from 11 to 17 August, at the time when the Russian army advanced on Tbilisi.
Jeg forsøgte forgæves at rejse til byen Gori.
I tried to go to Gori three times.
I Kaspi, der en by 30 km udenfor Tbilisi, konstaterede jeg, hvordan gaderne var blevet bombet, broerne beskadiget og jernbaneforbindelserne afskåret.
In Kaspi (30 km from Tbilisi), I saw that the city's cement factory had been bombed, the bridge and railway line damaged.
Selvom byen ligger på georgisk territorium langt fra udbryderegionerne og konfliktzonerne kunne man med al tydelighed se konsekvenserne af de russiske bombninger.
Even on Georgian territory and away from the conflict zone, the Russian bombardment had an impact.
Befolkningen var i panik.
The population of the city was panicked.
Det vi oplevede på vejen mellem Kaspi og Gori var skræmmende.
What we saw on the road between Kaspi and Gori was alarming, tanks were in position and the Russians entrenched.
Der var russiske kampvogne overalt, og de russiske soldater gravede grøfter langs vejene.
The Russian soldiers conducted a war of nerves against the population as no-one knew what they would do.
Jeg oplevede det som en nervekrig med lokalbefolkningen, da ingen vidste hvad soldaterne kunne finde på at gøre.
Since the Russian withdrawal, I have received statements from Georgians that they have left villages.
Hvilken rolle skal det internationale samfund spille?
What should the international community do?
EU og USA skal hurtigst muligt få forhandlet en FN-resolution på plads, der skal danne udgangspunkt for en løsning af konflikten.
The EU and the US must urgently negotiate a UN resolution to find a new way to regulate the conflict.
Russerne er nu blevet en aktiv part i konflikten, og de kan derfor ikke længere spille en fredsbevarende rolle.
The Russians were involved in the conflict, they cannot be peacekeepers.
Der bør i stedet sendes fredsbevarende FN-styrker til Georgien og udbryderregionerne.
Credible peacekeepers, in the eyes of the Georgians, must be found.
OSCE´s forsøg på at mægle i konflikten mislykkedes.
UN troops must be deployed in Georgia and in the conflict zones.
Målsætningen var at sende 100 observatører, men der er kun blevet sendt tyve mand af sted.
Mediation by the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe is not working, it was supposed to send 100 observers and has sent only 20.
EU støtter Georgien gennem naboskabspolitikken.
The EU supports Georgia through its neighbourhood policy.
Ingen udvikling kan finde sted før disse fastlåste konflikter bliver løst.
The situation there is fragile and so long as these conflicts remain unresolved we can't move forward.
Europa skal kæmpe for sine værdier.
Europe must continue to preserve its values.
De 27 medlemslande skal stå sammen og forsvare demokratiet og finde frem til en aftale med Rusland, der kan løse det aktuelle problem.
The 27 countries must unite to defend democracy and demand that Russia comes to an agreement over the resolution of the situation.
Georgiens suverænitet og landegrænser er gentagne gange blevet anerkendt, også af Rusland...
Georgia's sovereignty and its borders were recognised by all parties, including Russia.
Ministerrådet må udvise mod til at træffe de beslutninger, som det ikke har været i stand til at træffe de sidste 2-3 år, mens konflikten har stået på.
The Council must have the courage to take the decisions it has failed to take since the start of the tensions 2-3 years ago.
Vigtigheden af at EU-landene kan nå til enighed om store internationale spørgsmål er nu mere tydelig end nogensinde før.
It is more clear than ever that the EU must agree on major international issues.
Den russiske Duma støttede mandag Sydossetiens og Abkhasiens ønske om selvstændighed.
Monday the Duma asked for the recognition of the independence of S outh Ossetia and Abkhazia.
Er Georgiens territoriale integritet truet?
Is the territorial integrity of Georgia under threat?
Anerkendelsen af Abkhasiens og Sydossetiens uafhængighed var et damoklessværd.
Russia 's recognition of the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia is a sword of Damocles, that we knew was there.
Siden Kosovos uafhængighedserklæring har Putin advaret om konsekvenserne for disse to regioner.
After Kosovo, Putin anticipated the consequences on the two regions.
Men forskellen er, at det i tilfældet med Kosovo er det internationale samfund , der arbejder for uafhængighed.
But the difference is that in Kosovo, it is the international community that is working for independence.
Vi går ind for menneskes selvbestemmelsesret, men det bør gælde for alle mennesker!
We are for self-determination, but it must be by all the people.
Selvbestemmelse kan kun realiseres, når den kommer alle mennesker til gode, herunder georgierne i Abkhasien.
You can only have self-determination when all the inhabitants have returned, including the Georgians from Abkhazia.
Dertil kommer, at Georgiens grænser er blevet anerkendt af alle, herunder af Rusland!
In addition, Georgia's borders were recognised by all.
Det er en klar selvmodsigelse.
There is an obvious contradiction.
Tirsdag eftermiddag meddelte Rusland sin ensidige beslutning om at anerkende regionerne Sydossetien og Abkhasien som uafhængige stater.
After this interview was conducted, Russia Tuesday noon announced its unilateral decision to recognise the regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent states.
Europa-Parlamentet følger situationen i Kaukasus tæt.
The European Parliament is following the situation in the Caucasus closely.
"Spotlyset" og "Pressetjenesten" vil på denne hjemmeside bringe nyhederne, som de opstår.
The "Headlines" and "Press Service" pages of this website will provide news of developments in Parliament as they occur.
Flere politiske grupper har anmodet om en debat og en beslutning om emnet i forbindelse med næste uges parlamentssamling.
Several political groups have requested a debate and a resolution for adoption during next week’s plenary session.

Vil EU nogensinde stille med et enkelt OL-hold?
Will the EU ever field a single team for the Olympics?
Op til De Olympiske Lege i Kina satte Europa-Parlamentet stor fokus på menneskerettighedssituationen i landet, og det er helt sikkert et emne, der vil danne grundlag for fremtidige debatter i parlamentssalen.
In the run up to the Olympics, Parliament gave considerable attention to the political and human rights aspects of the Games in China, and will return to the subject in future debates, but meanwhile the world has also been gripped by the sporting competition and some magnificent individual achievements.
Men verden blev også grebet af den sportslige ånd og de store individuelle resultater under legene i Beijing.
We asked some MEPs about the sporting aspects of the Beijing Games.
Kina satte sig på en suveræn førsteplads i medaljekonkurrencen med ikke færre end 51 guldmedaljer.
China proved to be a successful host of the Olympics and came top of the medal table with 51 golds.
Men er det den vej, som vi ønsker at gå?
So should the EU field a combined team?
Vi spurgte en række MEP`er, hvordan de oplevede De Olympiske Lege i Kina.
We spoke to MEPs with a strong interest in sport and/or China.
Bør vi kæmpe under fælles flag?
The EU as a competitor?
Den græske kristendemokrat Manolis Mavrommatis, der medlem af Europa-Parlamentets delegation til Kina, synes at idéen lyder spændende "det ville sende mange positive signaler om enheden i vores Union.
Manolis Mavrommatis, a Greek Christian Democrat and member of the China delegation says that competing under an EU flag "would add many messages of unity to our Union.
Det ville være glimrende", sagde han.
It would be magnificent."
Hvis EU kun havde haft ét enkelt hold, ville der være mange medlemslande, der slet ikke ville været i stand til at sende repræsentanter...
If the EU had had one single team, many Member States would not have been able to send representatives...I believe in a Europe of diversity and competition."
Jeg går ind for et Europa med mangfoldighed og konkurrence."
I do not think that there will be a unified European team representing the EU in the near future, as each country is proud of its identity and and maintains serious sporting traditions."
Den græske socialist Katerina Batzeli, der også er medlem af Europa-Parlamentets Kina-delegation, sagde at "De Olympiske Leges største force har altid været - og bør forblive - loyal konkurrence i den olympiske ånd.
Greek Socialist Katerina Batzeli, also a member of the China delegation, said, "The main value of the Olympic Games has always been and should remain fair competition and the spirit of the Olympic truce.
Uanset om europæiske sportsfolk konkurrerer på vegne af nationale hold eller blot ét enkelt EU-hold, så er det vigtigste stadig, at EU kommer igennem med sine budskaber om idræt og kultur."
Irrespective of whether European athletes compete in national teams or a single EU one, what is truly important is the message the EU should be promoting for athletics and culture."
MEP'ernes foretrukne sportsgrene
MEPs favourite sports
Manolis Mavrommatis: "Jeg specielt glad for atletik, kunstnerisk gymnastik, basketball og kvindefodbold.
Mr Mavrommatis "especially enjoyed the athletics, artistic gymnastics, basketball and female football.
Det var endnu en god oplevelse at tilføje til min tidligere deltagelse i De Olympiske Lege, hvor jeg beskrev begivenhederne for TV og pressen."
It was another good experience to add to my past attendances of the Olympic Games to describe them for television and press."
Hun var særligt interesseret i disciplinerne atletik, svømning og roning.
She also followed the athletics, swimming and rowing.
"Desværre var der også tilfælde af doping - det er et problem som kræver resolut handling fra EU´s side."
"As a former athlete of the sport, I watched the 100m men's final with great interest.
Ungarske Pál Schmitt (EPP-ED) repræsenterede den ungarske olympiske komité.
Sadly there were also cases of doping, a problem against which the EU and all member states should take immediate action."
"Det siger sig selv, at jeg som formand hovedsageligt fulgte de sportsgrene, som ungarerne er gode til, herunder kajak, kano og vandpolo.
"It goes without saying that as a President of the Hungarian Olympic Committee I was mostly following sports that Hungarians excel in: kayak and canoeing and water polo," Mr Schmitt said.
Men som tidligere olympisk mester i fægtning tog jeg også til så mange fægteturneringer, som jeg overhovedet kunne komme i nærheden af", sagde han.
"But as a former Olympic champion in fencing, I also attended as many fencing tournaments as I could."

Europæiske byer: Athen
Cities of Europe: Athens
Akropolis Som led i vores serie om byer der har dannet ramme om store EU-traktater, er tiden nu kommet til Athen.
The Acropolis In the latest of our looks at the cities of Europe associated with EU treaties, projects and initiatives, we turn south to Athens.
Den græske hovedstad, der af de fleste anerkendes som demokratiets vugge, var i 2003 byen hvor en af de mest betydningsfulde EU-traktater blev underskrevet, nemlig Athen-traktaten.
The Greek capital, widely acknowledged as the birthplace of democracy, was in 2003 the venue for one of the most momentous treaty signings of postwar Europe, enlarging the EU by ten Member States.
Traktaten godkendte udvidelsen af EU med 10 nye medlemslande fra Central- og Østeuropa.
Appropriately also for the capital of a famously seafaring nation, Athens gave its name to a Convention protecting sea passengers.
Athen lagde også navn til konventionen om søfartssikkerhed.
For those in peril on the sea…
Princippet om transportørers erstatningsansvar blev vedtaget i forbindelse med Athen-konventionen fra den 13. december 1974.
The principle of carriers' liability for damage suffered by passengers carried on a seagoing vessel underpinning the legislation currently before MEPs was established in the Athens Convention, signed on 13 December 1974.
Under en ceremoni i Athen den 16. april 2003 underskrev statsoverhovederne for EU's daværende 15 medlemsstater en historisk traktat (Athen-traktaten), der godkendte EU´s udvidelse med 10 nye medlemslande.
It was on 16 April 2003 that the leaders of the then fifteen EU Member States and the ten countries who were to join them gathered in the Greek capital to sign the treaty which would bring about the largest ever enlargement of the European Union, leading to a 25-country Union and thereafter to the 27 of today.
Traktaten markerede, at Europa nu endelig var blevet genforenet efter afslutningen på den kolde krig.
The Athens Treaty thus set the seal on a process precipitated by the disintegration of the Soviet Union whereby five countries of central and eastern Europe and three countries which had been part of the Soviet Union itself chose to seek membership of the European Union, alongside the two Mediterranean island nations who also opted for this path.
De Olympiske Leges fødested
Birthplace of the Olympic Games
De første Olympiske Lege blev afholdt i Olympia 776 år før vor tidsregning.
The original classical era Olympics were first recorded in 776 BC in Olympia, Greece.
Kallimarmaro Stadion - en kopi af det antikke athenske stadion - dannede ramme for de første moderne olympiske lege i 1896.
Be that as it may, today in Athens stands the Kallimarmaro Stadium, a replica of the ancient Athenian stadium, where the first modern Olympic Games took place in 1896.
Den olympiske hymne (skrevet af den græske digter Kostis Palarma) spilles stadig ved åbningsceremonierne til De Olympiske Lege.
The Olympic hymn (written by the Greek poet Kostis Palamas), performed at the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games when the Olympic flag is raised, seeks to capture the spirit of the Games: "Ancient and immortal spirit, pure father of all things beautiful and great and true..").
Sightseeing i civilisations vugge
Sightseeing in Athens today
Du kan også slentre rundt i de små gader omkring den berømte historiske trekant (Plaka, Thission og Psyri).
The visitor might also take time to walk in the narrow streets of the famous historic triangle (Plaka, Thission, Psyri) neighbourhood, or catch a glimpse of a "tsolias" (soldier of the Greek presidential guard, with famously distinctive dress uniform) in Syntagma Square, in the heart of the governmental quarter.
Klimaet i Athen er tørt med store temperaturforskelle.
Athens' climate is one of the warmest in Europe (with mild winters and very hot summers), so most visitors, like the natives, will sooner or later seek shade and refreshment.
Sommeren er ofte brændende hed, og temperaturer på op til 38 grader eller mere forekommer jævnligt, specielt i juli og august.
Many locals opt for a "frappé" (typical Greek cold coffee with ice cubes) in a café and for a range of Greek specialties (feta, tzatziki, souvlaki, gyros, dolmadakia, mousakas, etc.).
Frost og sne indtræffer næsten hver vinter, dog i ret få dage.
As dusk falls, you might track down some traditional Greek "bouzouki" music in a taverna while partaking of ouzo or retsina.
Hvis du ikke allerede er faldet for byen, kan du tage metroen ned til Piraeus, der er hovedstadens centrale havn, hvor du kan hoppe på en færge og segle ud til en af Grækenlands mere end 200 eksotiske øer.
For those who wish to explore beyond the capital city, needless to say, many will be drawn to nearby Piraeus, the main commercial port of Athens, where they can embark on ferries bound for in excess of 200 inhabited Greek islands...

CO2 og global opvarmning
CO2/Global warming
Kampen mod globale klimaændringer er en af Europa-Parlamentets absolut vigtigste prioriteter.
Climate change is at the forefront of parliamentary activity this year.
Der er i øjeblikket et stærk politisk ønske i både Parlamentet og Rådet om at nå frem til en fælles aftale om den tredje energipakke inden udgangen af året.
There is a strong political will between the EP and the Council to wrap up the legislation by the end of the year.
