"Hvis det irske folk eller et hvilket som helst andet folk skal være åbne over for Europa, er man nødt til at lytte til, hvilket Europa de ønsker og handle i forhold til deres bekymringer," sagde hun.
As to the question whether the EU "deserved the public's trust", he alluded by way of example to his own country's war of independence 17 years ago and said that the EU had been seen not just as a hope but indeed as a solution.
Som Mugabe
In Mr Janša's view, as the world was changing "the EU's mechanisms must follow".
Roger HELMER (NI, UK) mente, at irerne blev behandlet med foragt.
With the Nice Treaty, Europe was unable to respond to global change.

Irland har valgt - Quo Vadis Europa?
After the vote in Ireland: Quo vadis Europa?
Hans-Gert Pöttering Europa-Parlamentets formand, Hans-Gert Pöttering, beklagede i sidste uge det negative udfald af den irske folkeafstemning om Lissabon-traktaten.
Hans-Gert Pöttering, President of the European Parliament We publish here an article by Hans-Gert Pöttering, President of the European Parliament, which has been published in major newspapers across Europe over the last two days.
Den 12. juni 2008 sagde de irske vælgere nej til Lissabon-traktaten.
On 12 June 2008 the citizens of Ireland voted No to the Lisbon Treaty.
Man er nødt til at se nærmere på, hvordan afstemningen fik dette udfald, og hvad der fik irerne, der vel haft flere fordele af EU-medlemskabet end de fleste europæere, til at stemme, som de gjorde.
A detailed analysis will be needed of how this result came about and what caused the Irish, who have benefited from the European Union more than almost any other country, to vote this way.
Ved første blik ser det ud, som om der er flere, ofte indbyrdes modstridende årsager til det irske nej.
At first glance it seems that many of those who voted No did so from a particular angle - and indeed from often contradictory angles.
Nogle var oven i købet af den opfattelse, at traktaten ville lette adgangen til abort og bringe det irske skattesystem i fare.
Yet others even believed that abortion would be made easier by the treaty or that the Irish tax system would be put in question.
Som general de Gaulle sagde engang, så giver en folkeafstemning som oftest svar på spørgsmål, der ikke er blevet stillet.
As General de Gaulle once said, in a referendum answers are given to questions that were not asked.
Så vidt vil jeg nok ikke gå, men udsagnet rummer en kerne af sandhed.
I would not go as far as that, but there is a kernel of truth in that statement.
Det er imidlertid allerede nu klart, at udfaldet af denne afstemning stiller EU over for en meget alvorlig udfordring, om end det ikke er den første af slagsen.
What is certain today is that the outcome of this vote confronts the EU with one of the most difficult challenges in its history - albeit not the first one.
Den styrker Europa-Parlamentet og giver de nationale parlamenter mere indflydelse på EU-lovgivningen.
It strengthens the European Parliament, gives national parliaments more responsibility in determining the course of European policy, allows citizens of the European Union a power of initiative in relation to the European Institutions, and guarantees local self-government.
Den indfører et borgerinitiativ, som giver de europæiske borgere mulighed for at tvinge EU til at lovgive inden for bestemte områder.
The Lisbon Treaty is the answer to criticisms that citizens have made of the European Union's shortcomings.
Alt i alt er Lissabon-traktaten et godt forsøg på at besvare borgernes kritik vedrørende EU's fejl og mangler.
This Treaty brings the European Union closer to its citizens.
Uden Lissabon-traktatens reformer kan man således dårligt forestille sig en yderligere udvidelse af EU.
Without the reforms made possible by the Lisbon Treaty, the accession of further countries to the European Union is hardly conceivable.
Derfor opfordrer vi deltagerne i det kommende EU-topmøde torsdag og fredag i Bruxelles, til at tage alle passende skridt til at sikre reformtraktatens gennemførelse.
We call upon the EU summit on Thursday and Friday in Brussels to take all appropriate steps to make the Reform Treaty a reality.
Men hvordan skal det videre forløb så se ud?
What next?
Allerførst bør ratificeringsprocessen fortsætte med uformindsket kraft, fordi 18 medlemsstater allerede har godkendt traktaten.
First, the ratification process must continue without reservation, since 18 countries have already approved the treaty.
Ratificeringen i de andre EU-medlemsstater tæller jo også med og må respekteres på lige fod med den irske folkeafstemning.
Ratification by other countries of the European Union is just as valid and must be respected just as much as the vote in Ireland.
På EU-topmødet i Bruxelles den 19.-20. juni forventer vi, at den irske regering giver en første analyse af resultatet af folkeafstemningen.
We expect that at the EU summit in Brussels on 19-20 June the Irish Government will give an initial assessment of the outcome of the vote in Ireland and put forward proposals as to how we can jointly progress beyond this difficult phase in European politics.
Vi forventer også, at Irland giver et bud på, hvordan vi i fællesskab kan komme igennem denne svære fase i europæisk politik.
The Irish Government must have the first say in this matter.
I dette spørgsmål må den irske regering have det første ord, ikke bare fordi det nu en gang er skik og brug, men også af respekt for det irske nej.
Not just because this is the custom but out of respect for the Irish vote.
Derfor er alle spekulationer og hypotetiske løsningsmodeller ilde anbragt i denne fase, umiddelbart før topmødet.
Therefore any speculation or conjecture as to possible solutions ahead of the summit would be inappropriate.
Europa-Parlamentet vil af al kraft og med stort engagement gå ind i kampen for at overvinde disse udfordringer.
The European Parliament will devote all its energies and display maximum commitment to overcoming these challenges.
Vi forventer, at EU-Kommissionen og regeringerne i medlemsstaterne vil gøre det samme.
We expect the same of the European Commission and of the governments of all European Union Member States.
Vi forventer også, at Europa-Parlamentet bliver inddraget i dette arbejde i fuldt omfang.
We equally expect the European Parliament to be fully involved in the process.
Vores mål er fortsat, at Lissabon-traktaten skal kunne træde i kraft inden det næste valg til Europa-Parlamentet i juni 2009.
It remains our goal to see the Lisbon Treaty enter into force before the elections of June 2009 to the European Parliament.

Præsentation af det franske formandskab
European Strategic Energy Technology Plan needed to achieve 2020 energy climate objectives, say MEPs in the Industry Committee
Torsdag vil den franske præsident, Nicolas Sarkozy præsentere prioriteterne for det franske formandskab for MEP'erne.
MEPs in the Industry and Energy Committee say energy efficiency needs to be included in the European Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan in an own initiative report by Jerzy BUZEK (EPP-ED, PL).
Blandt hovedtemaerne for de næste seks måneders franske formandskab vil være energi- og klimaændringer, immigration, landbrug og fødevaresikkerhed, forsvar og sikkerhed.
The report supports a list of industrial initiatives the Commission has drawn up, including one on research in nuclear power, and states that research and design resources should support both third and fourth generation nuclear technologies.
Nicolas Sarkozy præsenterer torsdag prioriteterne for det franske formandskab for EU, som kommer til at vare indtil slutningen af 2008.
The report calls on the Commission to facilitate the realisation of up to 12 proposed CCS demonstration projects and believes that the development of CCS technology could play a role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, "provided its efficiency and safety is assured".
En af de første store begivenheder under formandskabet bliver topmødet i Paris den 13. juli, hvor lederne for landene omkring Middelhavet mødes for at lancere den nye Middelhavsunion - som er en styrkelse af samarbejdet i regionen under den såkaldte Barcelona-process.
The report emphasises "the need to boost research in basic sciences such as biology, information technology, materials science and macro-technologies", "the need to improve the transfer of technologies from research centres and enterprises" and urges the private sector to invest more in research and assume greater risks.

Sodavand og slik med særlige farvestoffer skal mærkes
Modernising the rules on food additives and labelling of azo dyes
MEP'erne skal tirsdag tage stilling til en række nye regler for tilsætningsstoffer i fødevarer.
EU rules for authorising food additives, flavourings and enzymes will be updated and simplified provided Parliament endorses an informal second-reading agreement reached between EP and Council negotiators on a package of four draft regulations.
En af nyskabelserne bliver, at det for fremtiden skal stå på f.eks. slik og sodavand, hvis de indeholder nogle af de farvestoffer, der er mistænkt for at give børn allergi eller gøre dem hyperaktive.
The new procedures will assist the free movement of food within the EU and will also give better health and consumer protection, including clearer labelling of certain food colourings.
De nye regler vil bl.a. harmonisere, forenkle og opdatere registreringsproceduren for tilsætningsstoffer og vil sikre, at tilsætningsstoffer kun må bruges, hvis de er til gavn for forbrugerne.
Food additives are currently regulated by a dozen or so EU laws, which the four new regulations will simplify, update and bring into line with the latest scientific findings.
Fremover skal slik, sodavand og andre produkter, hvor der er særlige farvestoffer i, mærkes med en advarsel om, at stofferne kan have bivirkninger for børns indlæring og koncentration.
The first regulation lays down an EU-level "common authorisation procedure" for additives, enzymes and flavourings.
Det er blevet et af de konkrete resultater, efter Parlamentet og Rådet har forhandlet om fire nye forordninger om tilsætningsstoffer i fødevarer.
The other three deal in detail with each of these categories, for which lists of authorised products will be compiled, with conditions of use and rules on labelling.
En samlet godkendelsesprocedure
Single EU-wide approval will guarantee high standard of consumer protection
I betænkningen af Åsa Westlund lægges der op til en fælles godkendelsesprocedure for tilsætningsstoffer i hele EU, som skal være mere enkel og gennemsigtig.
The new "common authorisation procedure", dealt with by the EP in a report by Åsa WESTLUND (PES, SE) will contribute to the free movement of food within the Community and to the protection of human health and consumer interests.
De generelle retningslinjer, som bliver udstukket i denne forordning, bliver understøttet af de tre specifikke forordninger om henholdsvis tilsætningsstoffer, enzymer og aromastoffer.
Community authorisation will be granted in a transparent, centralised manner on the basis of a scientific opinion by EFSA, provided the authorisation criteria set out in the sectoral food laws are met.
Tilsætningsstoffer skal være til gavn for forbrugerne og må ikke vildlede
Food additives must be safe and bring benefits to consumers
Den første forordning om tilsætningsstoffer, som MEP'erne ser nærmere på i betænkningen af Åsa Westlund, handler om tilsætningsstoffer som f.eks. sødestoffer, farvestoffer, konserveringsmidler, antioxidanter, smagsforstærkere, geleringsmidler, fortykningsmidler og emballagegasser.
A second report by Åsa WESTLUND (PES, SE) deals with additives such as sweeteners, colourings, preservatives, antioxidants, emulsifiers, gelling agents and packaging gases.
Ifølge de nye regler må tilsætningsstoffer ikke må være farlige for forbrugernes helbred eller være vildledende, og de skal være teknisk nødvendige i det pågældende produkt for at blive godkendt.
The legislation states that a food additive may be authorized only if it is safe in use, if there is a technological need for its use, if its use does not mislead the consumer and if it has advantages and benefits to consumers.
Tilsætningsstoffer vil ikke blive tilladt i utilberedte fødevarer, ligesom det vil være forbudt at bruge sødestoffer og farvestoffer i mad til spædbørn og småbørn.
Food additives will be completely banned in unprocessed food, as will sweeteners and colourings in food for babies and small children, except when specifically included in the Community list.
Således er det understreget i et bilag, at Danmark f.eks. stadig kan have restriktioner mod konserveringsstoffer og forbud mod farvestoffer i leverpostej.
As new scientific data on health risks for children exposed to azo-dyes had emerged since Parliament's first reading, MEPs managed to include in the compromise a new provision that foods containing some of those food colours (colourings E 110, E 104, E 122, E 129, E 102 and E 124) must be labelled not only with the relevant E number but also with the words "may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children".
Under førstebehandlingen udtrykte MEP'erne bekymring overfor nano-teknologien og den manglende viden om sundhedsrisikoen ved brugen af denne teknologi, hvor der arbejdes med særligt små partikler.
In its first reading, the EP had called for separate limit values for nanotechnologies.
Det lykkedes ikke MEP'erne i forhandlingerne med Rådet at sikre separate grænseværdier for brugen af nano-teknologi, men MEP'erne fik opbakning til, at der skal en ny godkendelsesprocedure til, hvis et tilsætningsstof skal produceres ved hjælpe af nanoteknologi.
This was not taken up in the compromise but MEPs demanded successfully that, if the production process of an additive is changed, for example via a change in particle size through nanotechnology, a fresh authorization process, including a safety evaluation, must be carried out.
Mærkning af azo-farvestoffer
Flavourings deemed "natural" if 95% natural in origin
