Parlamentets ordfører Caroline JACKSON (ALDE, UK), har i forhandlingerne med Rådet lagt vægt på at sikre faste mål for genbrug og genanvendelse af affaldet, som ikke var med i Kommissionens oprindelige forslag.
A special target for manufacturing and industrial waste, as demanded by MEPs is not included in the compromise but the Commission has to examine the targets by 2020 and eventually reinforce them or consider setting targets for other waste streams.
Forbrænding som nyttiggørelse?
Further to this duty the compromise includes a new article on waste prevention.
En af de store diskussioner i forhold til direktivet og i forhandlingerne med Rådet har været spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt forbrænding af affald skal betragtes som 'nyttiggørelse' af affald.
The Commission shall propose - if appropriate - by end 2014 the setting of waste prevention and decoupling objectives for 2020.
MEP'erne var splittede i spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt forbrænding skal betragtes som 'bortskaffelse' eller 'nyttiggørelse'.
Members were divided over whether incineration of municipal solid waste should be regarded as a "disposal" or a "recovery" operation, the latter one being a better option regarding the waste hierarchy.
Dette spørgsmål er centralt, fordi de to metoder indplacerer sig forskelligt i det 'affaldshierarki', som er en prioriteret rækkefølge for, hvad medlemslandene skal gøre med affaldet.
In the vote, MEPs backed the Commission and Council position that it should be categorised as recovery, provided it meets a certain energy efficiency standards (energy efficiency formula in annex II to the directive).
Rækkefølgen er: 1) forebyggelse og nedbringelse af affald, 2)genbrug af affald, 3) genanvendelse af affald 4) andre nyttiggørelsesoperationer, 5) sikker og miljøvenlig bortskaffelse af affald.
In the debate, Mrs Jackson said: "This is a positive incentive to incinerator operators to reach high standards and we would do well to remember, in these fuel poor days, that waste can be a useful fuel.
Tirsdag bakkede MEP'erne trods de forskellige holdninger til spørgsmålet op om en løsning, hvormed forbrænding skal kunne betragtes som nyttiggørelse, hvis en række krav til energieffektivitet bliver overholdt, så kun de mest energieffektive forbrændingsanlæg kan komme i den kategori.
But it is important to recognise that the Parliament has now ensured, by writing in targets for recycling and emphasising waste prevention objectives, that incineration of residual waste will have to go hand in hand with recycling."

Renere vand i søer og vandløb
Water pollutants to be more strictly controlled as MEPs adopt legislation
fra 2018 skal reduceres eller stoppes afhængigt af, hvor farlige stofferne er.
By 2018 Member States will have to reduce pollution from "priority substances", and ceasing or phasing out emissions, discharges and losses of "priority hazardous substances".
Gennem miljøkvalitetskrav fastsætter direktivet øvre grænser for, hvor stort indholdet af 33 forurenende stoffer, som f.eks. pesticider og tungmetaller, der må være i de europæiske søer og vandløb.
Environmental quality standards (EQS), which take the form of maximum allowable concentrations and annual average values, for 33 pollutants like pesticides, heavy metals and others are proposed.
13 af disse stoffer er allerede placeret i kategorien af farlige stoffer og ifølge det kompromis, som Parlamentet vedtog tirsdag, skal Kommissionen desuden komme med et forslag om, hvorvidt 13 andre stoffer skal kunne komme på listen over de farlige stoffer.
These substances may endanger the survival of ecosystems, and via the food chain, human health, says the report drafted by Anne Laperrouze (ALDE, FR).
Medlemslandene skal også kortlægge forureningskilderne i en opgørelse, der skal være suppleret med kort i det omfang, det er muligt.
Thirteen of the 33 pollutants covered by the directive are already identified as "priority hazardous substances".
Danske talere Margrete AUKEN (Verts /ALE) talte under debatten. hun understregede, at det overordnede sigte med reglerne er gradvist at få forbedret vandkvaliteten i de europæiske vandløb og søer.
In its first-reading, Parliament had wanted to phase out a wider range of substances, but the Council has only been willing to take on board the list of 33.
"Svagheden ved det foreliggende forslag er, at der reelt ikke er politisk vilje til at sætte flere stoffer under lup.
In order to classify these 13 new substances as "priority" or "hazardous" ones, the Commission will make a new legislative proposal in 2011.
Det er allerede nu tydeligt, at det nuværende system, hvor stoffer på listen skal undersøges og nye skal optages, i bedste fald går alt for langsomt.
The EQS for the new priority substances will be proposed in 2013 .
Jamen så skaf de data!," sagde Margrete Auken.

Den irske folkeafstemning til debat forud for topmøde
MEPs adopt legislation on higher safety standards for road infrastructure
Europa-Parlamentet debatterede onsdag formiddag resultatet af den irske folkeafstemning.
MEPs adopted a legislative report on a directive to upgrade road safety management standards.
Medlemmerne lagde desuden vægt på behovet for, at EU skal koncentrere sig om nogle af de store udfordringer, der er i øjeblikket i forhold til blandt andet klimaændringer og stigende fødevare- og oliepriser.
The Directive requires the establishment and implementation of rules relating to road safety impact assessments, road safety audits, the management of road network safety and safety inspections by the Member States.
Han sagde, at den slovenske premierminister, Janez Jansa var skuffet over resultatet af den irske folkeafstemning, men at han respekterede det irske folks vilje.
This would include the identification of high-risk road sections as well as the use of intelligent road signs and intelligent transport systems and telematics services for emergency and signage purposes.
Lenarčič fandt det opmuntrende, at de lande som ikke allerede havde ratificeret, har givet udtryk for, at de vil fortætte ratificeringen.
The EP Transport Committee initially rejected the draft directive outright, on the grounds that it risked creating too much red tape and that this area was best dealt with at national level.
"Vi skal have et ja til traktaten, både for borgenes og for unionens skyld," sagde Lenarčič, der var overbevist om, at der kan findes en løsning med Irland, og at situationen ikke vil være den samme som i 2005 efter afstemningerne i Holland og Frankrig.
EP negotiators have now reached an agreement reached with the Council, which the House endorsed in Strasbourg.
Formandskabet ville arbejde for at få fastlagt en tidsplan på det kommende topmøde for, hvordan man kan komme videre.
The EP rapporteur is Helmuth Markov (GUE/NGL, DE) and was adopted with 498 votes in favour, 8 against and 6 abstentions.
Janez Lenarčič sagde, at det var vigtigt, at EU kommer i gang med at løse de reelle problemer, som EU står over for lige nu.
The substance of the legislation is contained in the annexes to the directive but, under the compromise, these will be non-binding on Member States.
Han nævnte også de andre vigtige emner, som skal diskuteres på topmødet: stigningen i fødevare- og olie-priserne, integrationen af Vestbalkan i EU, Milleniumudviklingsmålene, klimapakken, liberalisering af energimarkederne, immigrationspolitikken, naboskabspolitikken og Slovakiets optagelse i euroen.
Thus, the directive will in effect not lay down any major substantive requirements but rather serve as a set of guidelines for Member States on how to manage road infrastructure safety.
"Borgerne forventer, at EU skal reagere i forhold til de stigende priser på fødevarer, i forhold til klimaændringer og i forhold til afstemningen i Irland," sagde han og tilføjede, at nej'et i Irland skuffer alle, der ønskede en mere åben og demokratisk union.
These signs must also include signs visible during both day and night time and set up at a safe distance.
"Vi skal respektere det irske nej, men vi skal også respektere alle de lande, der har ratificeret, Der er 18 for og 1 imod," sagde Barroso.
Roadside parking Parliament underlines that sufficient roadside parking areas are very important not only for crime prevention but also for road safety.
Han understregede, at medlemslandene skulle ses som ligeværdige, og at det ville tage tid og kræfter at komme videre.
Parking areas enable drivers to take rest breaks in good time and continue their journey with full concentration.
"Vi kan ikke jage frem og finde en hurtig aftale, men det må heller ikke tage for lang tid," sagde Barroso.
The provision of sufficient safe parking areas should therefore form an integral part of road infrastructure safety management.
"Nej'et må ikke føre til lammelse, og må ikke være en undskyldning for ikke at handle," sagde kommissionsformanden, som rettede et par skarpe bemærkninger mod medlemslandenes regeringer og tendensen til at gøre EU til syndebuk i medlemslandene "Man ikke anklage EU's institutioner fra mandag til lørdag og forvente, at borgernes stemmer ja om søndagen," sagde Barroso og understregede, at resten af verden ikke venter på, at Europa er færdig med at diskutere sit traktatgrundlag.
The rapporteur and on behalf of the EPP-ED, PES, ALDE, EUL/NGL and Greens/EFA tabled a range of amendments on assessments and audits, on sufficient roadside parking areas in order to promote crime prevention, and on the use of uniform signs EU-wide in order to warn road users of road infrastructure segments undergoing repairs.
"Folkeafstemningen viser, at mange ikke ved, hvad EU betyder.

"Vi skal stoppe navlepilleriet og tage fat på de virkelige problemer, der ligger de europæiske borgere på sinde," sluttede han.
Better protection for pedestrians and cyclists to be introduced more quickly
Martin SCHULZ (PSE, DE) påpegede, at EU de sidste otte år har været i gang med at ratificere.
Plans to reduce the number of pedestrians and cyclists injured on Europe's roads by introducing tougher standards on the safety of motor vehicles were adopted by MEPs in a first-reading report by Francesco FERRARI (ALDE, IT.
"Vi har beskæftiget os med vores egen institutionelle reform, som vi ikke er i stand til at gennemføre - hvilken troværdighed har man så," spurgte han og gav regeringerne skylden for alt for ofte at gøre 'Bruxelles' til syndebuk.
Each year 8,000 pedestrians and cyclists are killed and 300,000 injured across the EU.
"Det er en negativ spiral, hvor den europæiske samling er i fare," sagde han.
MEPs endorsed a compromise already reached between Parliament and Council negotiators.
Han var meget kritisk over bemærkninger af den irske kommissær Mc Creevy under kampagnen.
A new EU regulation seeks to reduce these figures by laying down stricter safety requirements to be observed by manufacturers of cars, SUVs and light goods vehicles.
"Han siger, at han ikke har læst traktaten og siger, at det ikke er nødvendigt.
The regulation replaces the Directive 2005/66/EC and the Directive 2003/102/EC, some of whose requirements have now been deemed by an independent study not to be feasible.
Hvordan skal man så få befolkningens tillid," sagde Schultz og mente, at det bedste socialpolitiske skridt, Barroso kunnet tage var at tage porteføljen fra McCreevy.
The new standards relate essentially to a number of performance tests that vehicles and frontal protection systems are required to pass, and the compulsory introduction of brake assistance systems.
Schultz savnede desuden EU-tilhængerne i debatten, og sagde at 'anti-europa' i dag har en sjæl.
Differentiated timetables for the introduction of these standards will apply to "new vehicles" (new cars made under an existing design) and "new vehicle types" (cars made under new, not yet existent, designs).
"Vi kan se hvor mobile de er - de er taget til Irland, de er løbet op af trapper, de har stemt dørklokker, de har delt deres traktater ud, de var overalt!
Under the agreement struck with the Council, most of the amendments to the Commission text adopted by the EP have been accepted.
Hvor var pro-europæerne?" spurgte han og efterlyste den lidenskab, der før var at finde i forhold til det europæiske projekt.
In particular, MEPs have successfully pushed for the new requirements to be introduced more quickly than the Commission had proposed.
Graham WATSON (ALDE, UK) mente, at den irske premierminister på vej til Bruxelles torsdag muligvis ville have stroferne fra U2s sang "Where did it all go wrong" i hovedet.
Under the Commission's proposal, manufacturers of certain types of SUV would have had more time to comply.
De andre stats- og regeringsleder burde ifølge Watson også spekulere på, hvordan man fra et fransk formandskab (2000) til et andet er kommet hele vejen 'fra Nice til Nice', med hentydning til, at Nicetraktaten vil være den gældende, hvis Lissabontraktaten ikke kan træde i kraft.
- Frontal protection systems (FPS), better known as bull bars, will have to pass the same performance tests as the vehicles on which they are intended to be installed.
Watson argumenterede for, at der er et flertal i hvert medlemsland, der støtter EU, men var enig i, at tilliden til institutionerne var ved at ebbe ud.
- With regard to collision avoidance systems (for example, future technology such as infra-red systems that can identify pedestrians and other obstacles and avoid collisions with them more reliably than the car driver), it was agreed that once any such a system is developed, the EU co-legislators (EP and Council) will have the right to assess the effective potential of this active safety measure, and that there will be no automatic trade-off between passive safety requirements and anti-collision systems.
"EU er ikke noget man kan skabe 'with or without you'" sagde han og fortsatte ned at citere Brecht for, at man ikke bare kan vælge sig et nyt folk.
Road safety: protection of pedestrians and other vulnerable road users (repeal.
"Jeg har stor respekt for det irske folks vilje.

Brian CROWLEY (UEN, IRL) sagde, at det irske nej er udtryk for en holdningsændring hos en gruppe vælgere i EU i forhold til traktaten og på grund af de meget forskellige årsager, der lå bag, er der brug for tid til at analysere resultatet.
These technologies need to get cheaper, but also to be better publicised, it stresses, noting that if fully deployed, with the necessary infrastructure, EU-wide emergency call technology could save up to 2,500 lives a year on EU roads, and electronic stability control up to 4,000.
"Selv blandt nejsigerne bliver det sagt, at det ikke var et nej til EU," sagde han.
The report was adopted with 417 votes in favour 6 against and 5 abstentions.
Han mindede om, at det ikke var første gang.
New systems too expensive for the consumer
"Vi skal ikke pege fingre af nogle nationer - vi skal vise respekt - ikke kun for et land der har sagt nej - men også for dem, der har sagt ja," sagde han.
But so far, penetration rates for intelligent car systems and applications remain very low in relation to their potential, says the committee.
Francis WURTZ (GUE/NGL, FR) mente, at Det Europæiske Råd ville gøre klogt i at sige nej til en hvilken form for arrogance i forhold til det irske folk.
Many consumers cannot afford the new systems, so they need to get cheaper as soon as possible.
Han mente, at Lissabontraktaten var et udtryk for den måde, Unionen fungerer på.
Members also called for better public information about intelligent cars.
"Beslutninger bliver taget langt fra borgere - traktaterne er ulæselige.
Car dealers should play a key role in here, as well as TV and the internet.
Det er udtryk for elfenbenssyndromet," sagde Francis Würtz, der tolkede det irske nej som et nej til den økonomiske mode,l EU står for i øjeblikket.
MEPs called on the Commission to focus its efforts on countries where the availability of intelligent systems is still very low.
Godt gået Irland!
Towards a pan-European emergency call system
For Ashley MOTE (NI, UK) er retssikkerheden er vigtigere end selve lovene: "Lissabontraktaten kræver enstemmighed, men det bliver ignoreret.
If fully deployed across the EU, eCall technology, combined with the 112 emergency number, could save up to 2,500 lives a year.
Irland udgør ikke kun 10 % af Europa, men 100 % af dem, der havde mulighed for at stemme," sagde han.
The report calls on the 14 Member States that have yet to sign a Memorandum of Understanding on the system's introduction to do so by mid-2008.
Poul Nyrup RASMUSSEN (PSE, DK) mente, at der var konsensus i Parlamentet med hensyn til processen. "
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Vi skal respektere det irske nej - men også respektere de andre medlemslande.
Members also advocated accelerating the introduction of Electronic Stability Control (ESC), which reduces the danger of skidding.
Lad os fortsætte processen," sagde Nyrup og fortsatte: "Og ikke flere pauser, tak!
It is believed that 4,000 lives could be saved annually, and 100,000 crashes avoided if all cars had ESC.
Lad os tale om de ægte problemer," sagde Nyrup.
ICTs and the environment
Han understregede, at kritikken af Charlie McCreevy ikke er et personspørgsmål, men et politisk spørgsmål.
Adaptive Cruise Control, which adapts the speed of a car to surrounding traffic, could lead to a 3% overall reduction, they say.
Enevældens tid er tilbage
Technology cannot replace training
Mogens Camre (UEN, DK) sagde under debatten: "Vi har fået den ene forsikring efter den anden om, at Lissabontraktaten ikke kunne træde i kraft, hvis blot ét land forkastede den, og hvad skriver hr. Pöttering i sin erklæring den 13. juni: "Et lands afvisning af traktatteksten kan ikke betyde, at den foregående ratificering i 18 lande bliver gjort overflødig.""
Finally, MEPs warned that the greater sense of safety promoted by this technology may encourage drivers to take less responsibility, and stressed the primary importance of proper training for drivers.
Hanne Dahl (IND/DEM) sagde i sin tale, at irerne havde stemt nej til Lissabontraktaten, som var en dårlig kopi af den forfatning, som Frankrig og Holland også har stemt nej til.
Parliament adopted a legislative report on the inland transport of dangerous goods.
"Man søger at fremlægge det, som om det irske folk har et problem.
The proposed Directive aims to simplify and update the existing dangerous goods rules and at the same time extend the scope of the current rules by including inland waterways.
Kløften er mellem Europas folk og Europas statsledere.
The proposed directive will make an important contribution to ensuring the safety and security of the transport of dangerous goods in the European Union.
Kløften er ikke mellem nogen lande og resten af Europa.
It updates the existing four directives and four Commission decisions on this issue and merges them into one piece of legislation.
Frankrig, Holland og Irland ønsker ikke at bremse udviklingen, de ønsker en anden udvikling.
Parliament's vote approved the common position where the Council introduced several modifications, which are summarised as follows:
De sammenligner såkaldte antieuropæere med fascister, men det er Deres retorik, der er fascistisk.
all Member States, which have no inland waterways or whose inland waterways are not linked to those of other Member States, will be given the possibility of not applying the Directive, insofar as inland waterway transport of dangerous goods is concerned;
De sagde, at antieuropæerne har løbet trappe op og trappe ned, og at de har stemt dørklokker.
a transitional period of up to two years for the application of inland waterways;

Europa-Parlamentet ønsker mere liberalisering af el-markedet
Asma Jahangir, UN special rapporteur, on European Year of Intercultural Dialogue
Producenterne af strøm skal ikke samtidig være ejere af el-nettet.
The United Nations Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief, Asma Jahangir, addressed a formal sitting of the House on Wednesday as part of Year of Intercultural Dialogue.
Det mener Europa-Parlamentet i en vigtig afstemning onsdag, hvor Parlamentet efter lange diskussioner med Rådet endte med gå ind for en fuld ejermæssig adskillelse mellem produktionen af elektricitet og elektricitetsnettet.
She urged that "intercultural dialogue" be understood in a wide sense, bringing together a range of religious and non-religious perspectives; it should include dialogue at grassroots level rather than being conducted purely by leaders; and she strongly opposed the idea of outlawing "defamation of religions".
MEP'erne har dermed vendt ryggen til flere medlemslandes ønske om mere fleksibilitet, og der er lagt op til hårde forhandlinger med Rådet.
Welcoming Mrs Jahangir, EP Vice-President Rodi Kratsa-Tsagaropoulou said that her speech would contribute to the EP's message of promoting free dialogue and mutual comprehension.
I tre forskellige betænkninger tog Parlamentet onsdag stilling til den tredje energipakke, hvor det især er kravet om den ejermæssige adskillelse af el-produktionen og distributionsnettet, der har voldt problemer.
She also quoted Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which underpins Mrs Jahangir's work: "Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance".
Spørgsmålet om ejermæssig adskillelse er også aktuelt i forhold til gasproduktionen, som Parlamentet skal tage stilling til under næste samling i juli.
Lastly, Mrs Kratsa expressed support for Mrs Jahangir's well-known emphasis on the need for wider participation in politics, including by women, and the importance of education.
Ideen med reformen af elmarkedet er at skabe mere konkurrence i energisektoren og dermed forsøge at skabe lavere priser og bedre service til forbrugerne.
In her speech, Mrs Jahangir first asked: "does “inter cultural ” also include “inter religious ” dialogue?" and answered in the affirmative "since religions are part of culture".
Formålet er også at forbedre EU's internationale konkurrenceevne, samtidig med at hensynet til forsyningssikkerhed og miljøbeskyttelse tilgodeses.
"Consequently, intercultural dialogue should also take the believers of different denominations of the various religions on board and their ideas into account".
Det er et princip, som især Frankrig og Tyskland med store monopoler på markedet har kæmpet i mod.
Mrs Jahangir stressed that "there have always been individuals who try to prove that their culture, their religion, their language or their history is superior to that of their neighbours."
Europa-Parlamentet endte med at følge anbefalingerne fra industriudvalget i betænkningen af Eluned MORGAN (PSE, UK), og bakke op om en fuld ejerskabsmæssig adskillelse - uden undtagelser.
She had witnessed grassroots examples of successful intercultural dialogue in Israel and Palestine, and in Northern Ireland.
Operatørerne skal være uafhængige, men der åbnes mulighed for, at de samme aktionærer kan stå bag moderfirmaet og transmissionsoperatøren.
Thus, while recognising that high-level meetings of religious leaders are important, Mrs Jahangir stressed the need for other contributions.
