Den konservative gruppe fik et ændringsforslag vedtaget, der skulle ekskludere trafikbelastning da en sådan afgift ville være diskriminerende overfor vejtransportsektoren, og ville være endnu en byrde til den hårdt trængte branche.
They argued that such a charge would not help reduce congestion and would be an additional burden to an already suffering industry.
Hvis medlemslandene vælger at anvende disse afgifter, skal de anvende en række fælles udregningsmetoder, baseret på transportens eksterne omkostninger: hvor forurenende er den?
The Transport Committee had earlier this month reached a compromise allowing Member States to apply the congestion charge to lorries on the condition that they apply a similar charge to "all other road users".
Hvor larmende er den?
However these provisions were rejected in the plenary vote today.
Hvor meget belaster den trafikken? (baseret på tidspunkt på dagen og hvilken vej der bruges).
However, Member States would still have the possibility to charge for congestion "on road sections subject to congestion (...) during the periods when these road sections are usually congested"
MEP'erne: Øremærkning et krav
"Intelligent" pricing system
MEP'erne har sagt, at de vil gøre øremærkningen til et ultimativt krav, hvis de skal støtte direktivforslaget.
The Eurovignette calculation method means that the overall extra cost for road users would only rise by approximately 3% if Member States choose to apply the charges, according to an impact study carried out by the Commission.
Ikrafttrædelse og anvendelighed
On roads in mountainous regions and conurbations, a "mark-up" cost is introduced (amendment 37 adopted).
Reglerne er ikke bindende, men sigter mod at skabe fælles EU-standarder for de lande, der vælger at gøre bestemmelserne gældende.
The existing Eurovignette rules only apply to roads which are part of the "Trans-European Network" - specifically designated international roads linking EU countries - and to vehicles above 12 tonnes.
Betænkningen er en del af førstebehandlingen under den fælles beslutningsprocedure, og Europa-Parlamentet vil skulle tage stilling til det igen, hvis Rådet vælger at ændre i det foreslåede.
According to the draft legislative resolution adopted in plenary today, Eurovignette rules would apply to all TEN roads and roads "which customarily carry a significant volume of international goods transport".
MEP'ere: forbedring af den økonomiske situation
Financial crisis, energy and climate change the big issues at European Council
Forud for Det Europæiske Råds møde den 19.-20. marts vedtog Europa-Parlamentet onsdag tre betænkninger, der skal afhjælpe den økonomiske krise.
The European Council of 19-20 March, which will focus on the financial crisis, energy security and climate change, was the subject of a debate between MEPs, Czech deputy prime minister Alexandr Vondra and Commission President José Manuel Barroso.
Betænkningerne handler om hurtigere og mere fleksibel støtte, en europæisk genopretningsplan og retningslinjer for medlemslandenes ansættelsespolitikker.
We also need to do more "to improve the regulation and supervision of financial institutions", not only to prevent future crises but to bolster consumer and market confidence.
EU's økonomiske situation skal forbedres ved at give hurtigere og mere fleksibel støtte til regionale projekter.
Urgent steps must be taken to launch infrastructure projects to enhance energy interconnections.
Ændringerne står til at accelerere investeringer nationalt og regionalt ved at simplificere adgangen til bevillinger, støtte folk der er ramt af finanskrisen og øge støtten til små og mellemstore virksomheder (SMV'er).
Looking beyond the Spring Council, to the May employment summit, the President stressed the need to "use these two months wisely", by involving MEPs and social partners in debate on how to help people through the crisis, so as to ensure that Europe emerges from it quicker and stronger.
Regional udvikling: hurtigere støtte fremskynder økonomisk genopretning
Each of the 27 governments must resist the temptation to go its own way.
Evgeni KIRILOV (PSE, BG) er ordfører på initiativbetænkningen om regional støtte, der blev vedtaget med 508 stemmer for og 30 stemmer imod, der vil lette de administrative byrder i forbindelse ansøgninger til Samhørighedsfonden.
"We've been hearing this stuff for months - cut-and-paste texts may make a great speech, but the crisis is deepening, people are losing jobs and we have to deliver", said Martin SCHULZ (PES, DE) for the Socialist Group, adding that €40 billion in value has "gone missing" in recent months, and "our economies are on the brink of collapse".
Han sagde forud for afstemningen, at "man burde hjælpe de svage, samtidig med at vi skal være opmærksomme på miljøproblemerne."
Europe, he said should be "strong in mind and fleet of foot", ready to reform and ready to accept that the current stimulus package will not be enough.
Desuden anså han det for vigtigt, at man lettede de administrative procedurer.
He concluded by arguing that the Council, Commission and Parliament need to work together, "preventing procedure getting the better of purpose."
Betænkningen vil have Kommissionen til at foreslå hurtigere og mere fleksible udbetalinger for at fremskynde investeringer.
She pointed out that, in the now nationalised banks, these derivatives are still a drag on the balance sheet and that more vigilance means that we have not just to revise the system of banking supervision, but also to meet new costs for the SMEs and the unfair competition that arises from beyond our border.
MEP'erne støtter også Kommissionens forslag om at forhøje forhåndsbetalinger, for at projekter kan modtage støtte hurtigere og behovet for banklån bliver mindsket.
She referred to the issue of climate change as being 'equally important" and concluded by stating that "if you look at the plans in place at European level, you can see that it is a case of fine words and not much action."
Betænkningen, der kommer fra Regionaludviklingsudvalget i Europa-Parlamentet mener, at Kommissionen og EU-landene skal at de ovennævnte ændringer "ikke mindsker deres ansvar med at kontrollere implementeringen".
He referred to the level of unemployment in the EU and argued that "the situation shows that the policy so far has failed" and that "a new approach has to be found at the spring summit" which will focus on the quality of jobs, environmental conditions, better conditions in the work place, etc.
Desuden skal Kommissionen overvåge landenes metoder for på den måde at undgå overtrædelser af den fri konkurrence.
However, she rejected the views of the previous speakers that it is a time to fund environmental policies.
En europæisk genopretningsplan
Reports and resolution adopted
Det er essentielt at stimulere EU's økonomi og dets konkurrencedygtighed og få de finansielle markeder til at fungere igen for at undgå massearbejdsløshed og skabe nye jobs.
Stimulating the EU economy and its competitiveness and making financial markets function again are essential to avoid mass unemployment and create new jobs, according to the report drawn up by Elisa Ferreira (PES, PT), and approved by , on the Commission's European economic recovery plan.
Det er hovedtrækkene i initiativbetænkningen af Elisa FERREIRA (PSE, PT) om Kommissionens økonomiske genopretningsplan.
Guaranteeing minimum living standards for all EU citizens is one of priority targets for action at EU level, according to MEPs.
Betænkningen blev vedtaget med 526 stemmer for og 105 stemmer imod.
The EP calls for the adoption of adequate and urgent measures to support an active labour market and social inclusion.
"Vi skal have sat gang i økonomien, men samtidig skal vi have gang i det europæiske projekt."
The EU should adequate legislation to restrict the business of tax havens, say MEPs.
Hun mente desuden, at man skulle tage udgangspunkt i den enkelte borger.
The aims should be to strengthen the international supervisory system.
"Det er borgeren og beskæftigelsen, der står i centrum.
MEPs in particular say action is needed on tax havens, greater support for the most venerable and solidarity for Central and Eastern Europe.
Vi skal have nogle klare midler til rådighed."
MEPs expect the EU Spring Council 2009 to agree on clear guidance and concrete measures to safeguard employment and create job opportunities.
EU's svar mod nedgang i beskæftigelse
Parliament stresses the need for additional efforts to support the most vulnerable groups in society.
Vækst i beskæftigelse er svækket i adskillige medlemslande medio 2008.
Investment in the fight against climate change, measures towards the most vulnerable groups and in the field of education and training must be key elements in employment policy.
Nedturen fortsætter igennem første halvdel af 2009 og forventes at have en stor indflydelse på arbejdsmarkederne, idet der mistes 3,5 millioner jobs i EU.
The economic downturn is expected to continue throughout the first half of 2009 and to have a profound impact on labour markets developments with EU development falling by 3.5 million jobs.
Arbejdsløsheden i EU (7 % i 2008) forventes at stige til 8,7 % i 2009 (fra 7,5 % til 9,2 % i euro-området) med en yderligere stigning i 2010.
The unemployment rate in the EU (7.0% in 2008) is expected to increase to 8.7% in the EU in 2009 (from 7.5% to 9.2% in the Euro area) with a further increase in 2010, states the report of Jan Andersson (PES, SV), adopted by 609 votes in favour, 60 against and 27 abstentions.
Ordføreren talte forud for afstemningen, og han sagde at "beskæftigelsesspørgsmålet skal ikke ses isoleret fra den økonomiske krise."
"The crisis is coming reality for people.
Han mente, at man havde brug for flere samordnede indsatser.
Unemployment is higher and there are more social consequences.
Debat om den økonomiske situation
Measures in the field of climate change, education and training
Kommissionen og Rådet deltog i debatten om betænkningerne, EU's økonomiske situation og Lissabon-strategien op til det Europæiske Råds møde den 19.-20. marts forud for afstemningen.
At the Spring Summit of EU leaders which will take place on 19 March, MEPs call on the Commission and the Member States to tackle employment as a priority issue by putting proposals for a European Employment Initiative, in a resolution proposed on behalf of the Employment and Social Affairs Committee and adopted by 548 votes in favour, 74 against and 31 abstentions.
Lissabon-strategien blev vedtaget ved Det Europæiske Råds møde i Lissabon i marts 2000 og sigter mod, at EU skal være "den mest, konkurrencedygtige og dynamiske videnbaserede økonomi i verden".
The Parliament stressed the necessity to invest in the fight against climate change, to ensure sufficient incomes with special regard to the most vulnerable groups of society, in particular women and young people.
Rådet: Nej til protektionisme
MEPs ask the Commission to launch initiatives and present proposals with respect to these goals in time for the forthcoming Spring European Council.
Han sagde desuden at "protektionisme er simpelthen ikke det rette svar til krisen - nærmere det modsatte.
The Employment guidelines are part of the Lisbon Strategy for growth and jobs.
Vores virksomheder har mere end nogensinde før brug for åbne markeder, både internt i Unionen, men også på det globale niveau."
They are set for a three year period (2008-2010) and present common priorities to the Member States national employment policies.
Samtidig støttede han dog medlemslandenes genopretningsplaner, så længe de var "koordinerede og baseret på fælles principper, som det er defineret i den Europæiske Genopretningsplan, der blev vedtaget i december."
MEPs stress the urgency of a rigorous implementation of the employment guidelines, and based on the lessons learnt from the economic crisis, point out the need for a review and update of the economic and employment policy tools, such as the Integrated Guidelines and the Stability and Growth Pact.
Barroso: EU har ansvaret
Regional development: faster funding for economic recovery
Europa-Kommissionens formand, José Manuel BARROSO sagde, at det er en vanskelig periode vi oplever, hvor "der bliver lagt et stærkt politisk pres på de ansvarlige politikere, og Den Europæiske Union er ikke en undtagelse.".
Faster, more flexible funding for regional policy projects will help EU economic recovery and stimulate the economy in the short, medium and long term.
Han mente desuden, at krisen har stor indvirkning på borgernes dagligdag og primært de svageste.
But faster funding must not lead to looser monitoring of implementation, said the European Parliament today.
"Vi skal gøre noget ved den sociale indvirkning på denne krise, læs den stigende arbejdsløshed."
Proposed changes to make EU structural fund grant payments more flexible, to meet the needs of "extraordinary economic circumstances" should "boost the economy and provide support, especially to people hit by the crisis".
Han mente, at man skal kunne løse problemerne, også på kort sigt.
They are "parallel and complementary to" the European Economic Recovery Plan.
Nyrup: forvent ikke mere end vi selv kan præstere
Faster, more flexible funding
Poul NYRUP-RASMUSSEN (PSE, DK) anså den nuværende krise som den værste siden 1929 og mente ikke, at Det Europæiske Råd havde gjort nok.
MEPs also welcome a Commission plan to increase advance payments, so as to get funding to projects earlier and reduce the need for bank loans.
"Vi kommer med mindre end halvdelen af USA investeringspakke.
However, they also urge banks to "make full use of facilities granted to them to maintain lending to the economy and pass on key interest rate reductions to borrowers".
Hvordan kan vi gøre mindre end amerikanerne, når vi kræver mere af amerikanerne?"
It also calls on Member States to make "wide use of structural funds to secure job creation and to promote SMEs, entrepreneurship, and professional training".

EP: Fremgang i optagelsesforhandlingerne
2008 progress reports on Croatia, Turkey, and FYROM: EP sets out its views
EP: Fremgang i optagelsesforhandlingerne Onsdag vedtog Europa-Parlamentet 3 beslutninger om optagelsesforhandlingerne med Tyrkiet, Kroatien og Den Tidligere Jugoslaviske Republik Makedonien (FYROM).
A photo of Europe from the space. ©BELGA/SCIENCE The EP adopted three resolutions on the candidate countries for accession and their progress in 2008, namely, Croatia, Turkey and the FYROM.
Tyrkiet: reformproces går langsommere
Turkey: MEPs concerned at lack of progress in talks with EU
Den stadig langsommere reformproces i Tyrkiet for tredje år i træk bekymrer Europa-Parlamentet som mener, at Tyrkiets regering skal "bevise sin politiske vilje til at fortsætte reformprocessen" som den forpligtede sig til at forfølge i 2005.
The "continuous slowdown of the reform process" in Turkey, for the third consecutive year, is noted with concern by the European Parliament, which calls on the Turkish government "to prove its political will to continue the reform process" to which it committed itself in 2005.
MEP'erne beklager, at ytringsfriheden og pressefriheden ikke er fuldstændigt beskyttet i Tyrkiet.
MEPs regret that freedom of expression and freedom of the press are still not fully protected in Turkey.
De mener også, at ændringen af paragraf 301 af straffeloven, der blev vedtaget i april 2008, ikke er vidtgående nok, idet folk fortsat bliver retsforfulgt for at udtrykke ikke-voldelige meninger.
They also believe that the amendment to Article 301 of the Penal Code, adopted in April 2008, does not go far enough as people continue to be prosecuted for expressing non-violent opinions, one such case being Leyla Zana, former winner of the European Parliament's Sakharov Prize in 1995.
Der er behov for global enighed om Cypern-problemet, baseret på resolutionerne fra FN's sikkerhedsråd.
The ongoing polarisation within Turkish society and between the main political parties, which has deepened in the course of 2008, is pointed out by the resolution.
MEP'erne støtter de direkte forhandlinger mellem lederne af det græske og tyrkisk-cypriotiske samfund.
MEPs also regret that the initial effort to reform the constitution resulted in dispute over the headscarf issue and generated further polarisation of society.
Beslutningen beklager dog, at optagelsesforhandlingerne er blevet blokeret pga. grænsestridighederne med Slovenien.
The resolution stresses the need to reach "a comprehensive settlement" of the Cyprus question based on UN Security Council resolutions.
FYROM: Pres på Rådet for at påbegynde forhandlinger
Ankara must commit itself to a lasting settlement of the Kurdish issue, say MEPs.
MEP'erne mener, at Rådet snarest muligt bør starte optagelsesforhandlingerne med Den Tidligere Jugoslaviske Republik Makedonien, og vil have Rådet til at bestemme sig for en startdato for forhandlingerne.
This will require better economic and social integration of citizens of Kurdish origin, including offering them real opportunities to learn Kurdish in the public and private schooling system and to use it in broadcasting, in daily life and in access to public services.
Parlamentet mener, at en serbisk optagelsesansøgning ikke bør have nogen betydning for FYROM's forhandlinger.
Cyprus, which is currently prospecting for gas and oil off its coast, has reservations about the energy chapter.
Rådet: Store fremskridt
Former Yugolsav Republic of Macedonia: MEPs reiterate their support for future membership
Den tjekkiske vicepremierminister, Alexander VONDRA, repræsenterede Rådet under debatten forud for afstemningen.
MEPs ask the Council to decide on a date for the beginning of accession negotiations, during the current year.
Han gav sin fulde støtte til at fortsætte optagelsesforhandlingerne med Kroatien.
They call on Skopje to resolve issues with its neighbours, including the name issue.
Han mente ikke, at Tyrkiet havde leveret de ønskede reformer i 2008, men sagde dog at forhandlingerne om to kapitler (16: beskatning og 19: socialpolitik og beskæftigelse) er i fuld gang.
Parliament states that if the two countries don't reach an agreement soon that may lead to a long delay of FYROM´s accession to EU.
Det tjekkiske formandskab er opsat på at fortsætte forhandlingerne i de kapitler, hvor fremskridt er muligt, og forventer også udviklinger i kapitel 15 om energi.
MEPs hope that negotiations between Greece and FYROM would continue despite the proceedings that Skopje started in the International Court of Justice accusing Greece for not complying with the Interim Accord.
Vondra mente, at Parlamentet fokuserer for meget på forhandlingsdatoen, men roser MEP'erne for, at de vægter sagen om navnet højt.
MEPs reiterate their support for FYROM's EU aspirations which they deem vital for the stability in the Western Balkans region.
Han understregede desuden, at Makedonien selv havde ansvaret for, om forhandlingerne blev indledt, og efterlyste bl.a. veludførte valg, modsat det der skete i 2008.
MEPs express regret that accession negotiations with FYROM have not started yet and urge the Council to accelerate the process and set a date for the beginning of the negotiations.
Optagelse i EU
Progress in visa and economic areas
Hvis Kommissionens holdning er positiv og Rådet enstemmigt vedtager et forhandlingsmandat, er optagelsesforhandlingerne formelt startet.
Parliament calls FYROM for solidarity with its neighbours with regards to the culture and history and warns against the resurgence of "hate speech".
Rumænien og Bulgarien var de seneste lande, der blev medlemmer af EU, da de indtrådte i Unionen den 1. januar 2007.
MEPs also ask the authorities in FYROM to ensure the freedom of the press.
Danmark blev med Det Forenede Kongerige og Irland medlem i 1973.
MEPs ask the Government of FYROM to improve the waste facilities of the country and preserve the quality and level of the water in the border water basins.
Redegørelser fra Rådet og Kommissionen
Parliament encourages FYROM to accelerate production of energy from renewable sources, especially solar and wind power, ahead of the conference.
