På trods heraf, var der enighed om, at der er behov for et europæisk samarbejde for at forsvare de grundlæggende forbrugerrettigheder i hele EU.
The need for cooperation between different countries at a European level is vital.
Camilla Hersom (formand for Forbrugerrådet i Danmark) udlagde det således: "det er afgørende, at forbrugerorganisationer taler med én stemme" på europæisk plan.
"It is essential that consumer organisations speak with one voice," according to Camilla Hersom of the Danish Consumer Council.
Ifølge Murray kunne et slags "mentorsystem" - hvor erfarne forbrugerorganisationer udveksler know-how med mindre erfarne organisationer - være en del af løsningen.
Jim Murray of the European Consumer's Organization (BEUC) suggested a "mentoring system" - whereby more experienced and established organisations would liaise with their less experienced partners.
EP og forbrugerbeskyttelse
Parliament and consumers
EP's IMCO-udvalg har blandt andet til opgave, at sikre forbrugerbeskyttelse.
The European Parliament has an Internal Market Committee whose job it is to ensure consumers are protected when new EU legislation is passed.
Medlemmer af Europa-Parlamentet (MEP'er) har gennem deres arbejde understreget behovet for en mere enkel, forståelig og målrettet lovgivning på forbrugerområdet.
MEPs in the committee and the wider parliament have continually emphasized the need for simpler, more understandable and better focused consumer protection legislation that will be easier to enforce.
I februar 2005 godkendte MEP'er en betænkning om et direktivforslag om "uretmæssige kommercielle fremgangsmåder" i EU, der træder i kraft i december 2007.
In February last year MEPs approved a report on a proposed EU-wide "directive on unfair commercial practices" which will come into force in December 2007.
Formålet er, at forbyde uretmæssige fremgangsmåder og skabe fælles EU-regler, der skal erstatte de mange forskellige nationale love og forbedre forbrugerbeskyttelsen.
It aims to outlaw unfair practices, create common EU rules to replace the diversity of national laws, and to improve the protection of consumers considered to be "vulnerable".
Ifølge EU-traktaterne skal der tages højde for forbrugerbeskyttelse i udarbejdelsen og gennemførelsen af de forskellige politikker og aktiviteter på EU-plan.
The EU Treaties say consumer protection must be taken into account in defining and carrying out different policies and activities.
Dette hensyn har blandt andet afspejlet sig i EP's betragtninger om REACH-pakken (om kemikalielovgivning) og Servicedirektivet (om udbud af offentlige tjenesteydelser i EU).
This has been seen in Parliament's consideration of the REACH package of legislation on Chemicals and the Services directive on the provision of public services in the EU.

23-årig polsk designer vinder EU's jubilæumslogo-konkurrence
23 year-old Polish designer wins EU logo competition
Og vinderen er……….
50th anniversary logo to be translated into all EU languages
For at markere, at EU den 25. marts 2007 fejrer 50-årsdagen for undertegnelsen af Rom-traktaten, udskrev EU-institutionerne en konkurrence om at skabe et jubilæumslogo.
On 25 March 2007, the European Union will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the signing of its founding Treaty of Rome.
Logoet skulle omhandle europæisk samarbejde generelt, og EU's fremtid i særdeleshed.
To mark the occasion, a competition was organised by the EU institutions for art students and young designers, the object being to create a logo that captures the spirit of EU cooperation and the future direction of the Union.
Konkurrencen blev en succes, da mere end 1700 unge kunst- og designstuderende deltog.
The initiative attracted entries from more than 1700 young designers.
Kommissær Margot Wallström og Europa-Parlamentets næstformand Alejo Vidal-Quadras var ledere af den jury, der udpegede vinderen samt anden- og tredjeprismodtagerne.
A jury co-chaired by EP vice-president Alejo Vidal-Quadras and Commissioner Margot Wallstrom chose the winning logo and two runners up.
Danskeren Tore Rosbo kom på andenpladsen og svenske Jenny Lund kom på tredjepladsen.
"Different types of letters, characters and colours symbolise the differences in the EU, but I wanted to show in spite of that, we can coexist in harmony," said art student Szymon Skrzypczak described his winning entry.
"Den succes, som denne logokonkurrence har været i hele Europa, viser, at vi gjorde ret i at bede de unge om at hjælpe os med at designe morgendagens Europa", sagde Alejo Vidal-Quadras.
According to Mr Vidal-Quadras "the success of this logo competition throughout Europe demonstrates that we were right to put our confidence in young people to help us design the Europe of tomorrow."
Europa-Parlamentet og de øvrige EU-institutioner vil bruge logoet i forbindelse med forskellige begivenheder i 2007.
It will be used by the European Parliament and all other EU institutions for events during 2007.

MEP'er møder parlamentarikere fra Nord Korea og Iran
North Korean / Iranian delegates meet MEPs
EU's relationer med Nord Korea er i fokus efter atomprøvesprængning
The EU's relations with North Korea are in focus after nuclear test
Det er ikke hver dag, at parlamentarikere fra Nord Koreas Øverste Folkeforsamling og Irans Majlis mødes med medlemmer af Europa-Parlamentet (MEP'er).
It is not every day that a group of MPs from North Korea's Supreme People’s Assembly and Iran's Majlis visits the European Parliament.
Interparlamentariske delegationer udgør en vigtig del af Europa-Parlamentets arbejde.
Interparliamentary delegations are an important part of the Parliament's work.
De medvirker til at sikre en parlamentarisk vinkel på alle de forhandlinger, EU fører med "tredjelande".
They provide a parliamentary angle to any negotiations the EU may be conducting.
Herunder er nogle af deres vigtigste bidrag at finde information, stille spørgsmål, opretholde en åben dialog og overvåge valghandlinger.
Their role is also one of fact- finding, asking questions, keeping open political dialogue and monitoring elections.
Delegationerne består af MEP'er fra alle de politiske grupperinger i Europa-Parlamentet (EP).
All nationalities and shades of political opinion in the EP are represented.
Nordkoreanere forsvarer atomsprængninger
North Koreans defend nuclear test
Nordkoreaneren Ri Jong Hyok - tidligere diplomat i blandt andet Østtyskland og Algeriet - valgte sine (få) ord med omhu.
Ri Jong Hyok of North Korea - a veteran diplomat, who has served in East Germany and Algeria, chose his (few) words carefully.
Han sagde, at hans land er nødt til at kunne forsvare sig mod USA og at det er "et spørgsmål om liv og død".
He said that his country "needed a nuclear deterrent against the US" and that it was "a matter of life and death".
Alt i alt var det nogle dårlige dage for Nord Korea i EP.
All in all it was a bad few days for North Korea in the EP.
Under EP-samlingen lød der fordømmelser af atomsprængningerne fra hele det politiske spektrum.
In the plenary session, members from all 7 political groups lined up to denounce the nuclear test.
EU's høje repræsentant for den fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik Javier Solana talte i EP's mødesal, hvor han sagde, at Nord Korea er en "trussel mod verdensfreden" og at FN "bliver nødt til at handle".
Javier Solana - high representative for EU foreign and security policy - told the house that North Korea is a "threat to world peace" and said that the UN Security Council "had to act".
I juni godkendte EP en beslutning, der var stærkt kritisk over for menneskerettighedssituationen i landet.
In June Parliament passed a resolution strongly critical of the human rights situation there.
Iranere forsvarer deres atomprogram
Iranian delegation defends uranium enrichment programme
Irans intentioner med landets atomprogram dominerede ligeledes mødet mellem MEP'er og deres iranske modparter fra Majlis (Irans parlament, der har i alt 290 medlemmer), da de mødtes for første gang nogensinde.
The intentions of Iran and its nuclear programme dominated proceedings in the first ever meeting of MEPs and their counterparts from the 290-seat Iranian Majlis.
Lederen af den iranske delegation Ali Ahmadi talte om det iranske folks "umistelige" rettigheder til at bruge atomteknologi til fredelige formål.
The head of the Iranian delegation, Ali Ahmadi, spoke of the "inalienable" rights of the Iranian people to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
Selvom MEP'er medgav dem rettigheden til at benytte teknologierne til "fredelige formål", sagde de samtidig, at der ikke er nogen garantier for at Iran udelukkende har fredelige hensigter.
While MEPs conceded their rights to use the technologies for "peaceful purposes" they said there were no guarantees that Iran's ambitions were peaceful.
En EP-beslutning fra februar bekræftede samme holdning, men kritiserede Irans beslutning om at standse alt frivilligt samarbejde med det Internationale Atom Energi Agentur.
An EP resolution in February conceded the same point but also criticised Iran for its decision to cease all voluntary cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency.
England, Frankrig og Tyskland er gået foran i arbejdet med at finde en diplomatisk løsning på krisen med Iran.
The UK, France and Germany have been at the forefront of seeking a diplomatic solution to the crisis over Iran's nuclear ambitions.
Javier Solana har fungeret som koordinator for EU's holdning under forhandlingerne.
Mr Solana has been coordinating the EU's position during the negotiations.

Åbning af mødet
Opening of the October Strasbourg session
Parlamentets formand, Josep Borrell, åbnede denne uges samling i Strasbourg med at byde en delegation fra Japans Parlament velkommen.
The session was opened by Parliament's President Josep BORRELL, who began by welcoming to Strasbourg a visiting delegation from the Japanese Parliament.
De deltager i et interparlamentarisk møde mellem Parlamentet og det japanske Parlament.
The ceremony will take place on Tuesday 24 October between 2.30 and 3.00 pm on the left side of the hemicycle (LOW, level 1, side canal).
Vigtigst er det, at Parlamentets afstemning om kemikalielovgivningen REACH er blevet udsat enten til samlingen i november eller i december.
Wednesday afternoon's debates will continue until 6pm and therefore Question Time to the Council will start at 6pm and end at 7.30pm.
Her er nogle af højdepunkterne de enkelte dage:
Highlights for the week ahead
Det blev på åbningen af mødet vedtaget, at afstemningen skal finde sted onsdag i stedet for tirsdag som først planlagt.
The Civil Liberties Committee is signalling that it wants a first reading agreement with the Council on legislation to allow the enlargement of the Schengen Information System to the ten new Member States.
Ceremonien vil finde sted til venstre for Hemicirklen.
The House will also vote on a resolution on this topic.
Tirsdag eftermiddag er budgettet for 2007 til debat som led i Parlamentets førstebehandling.
In the afternoon, Parliament will focus on the EU budget for 2007.
Onsdag eftermiddag er der debat om farligt affald og beskyttelse af miljøet, og Kommissionen og Rådet vil komme med meddelelser om eksporten af farligt affald til Afrika.
In the evening, the House holds a joint debate on toxic waste and the protection of the environment, including Commission and Council statements on the exporting of toxic waste to Africa.
Medlemmerne af beskæftigelses- og socialudvalget er bekymrede for, at direktivet ikke bliver fulgt i medlemslandene.
Members of the Employment Committee are concerned that the Posting of Workers directive is not being implemented properly in some Member States and is, therefore, failing to achieve its aims.
Formandskonferencen vil torsdag finde vinderen af Sakharovprisen 2006.
The Conference of Presidents will declare the winner of the 2006 Sakharov Prize for freedom of thought and human rights.

Vigtigt skridt i åbningen af EU's indre grænser
EP backs compromise to extend Schengen Information System to new Member States
Schengensamarbejdet, der åbner de indre grænser i EU, er stadig ikke en realitet for de nye medlemslande.
The EP adopted, by a large majority, three reports on the legislative basis for a new Schengen Information System (SIS II ) which will allow new Member States to join the Schengen area as soon as possible.
Onsdag vedtog Europa-Parlamentet med stort flertal tre betænkninger, som danner grundlag for det nye Schengen Informationssystem (SIS II), som er nødvendigt for, at de nye lande kan deltage i Schengen-samarbejdet på lige fod med resten af landene.
MEPs backed the Commission proposals but introduced some relevant amendments to improve the security and personal data protection standards of the second generation Schengen Information System.
En vigtig del af Schengen-samarbejdet, som åbner grænserne indenfor EU, er at bekæmpe kriminalitet og sikre kontrollen af Schengenlandenes ydre grænser.
A first reading agreement on the dossiers with the Council is essential for the timely start of the updated system.
For at det kan lade sig gøre, har landene udviklet et informationssystem (SIS), som skal gøre det muligt for landenes politi- og toldmyndigheder hurtigt at udveksle oplysninger.
The European Parliament adopted two co-decision and one consultation reports by Carlos COELHO (EPP-ED, PT) on proposals for the establishment, operation and use of SIS II as well as the access to the system by the services in the Member States responsible for vehicle registration.
Med de nye medlemslandes indtræden i Schengen-samarbejdet skal det nuværende system, der har fungeret siden 1995 udvides og teknisk set opdateres, så det kan benytte sig af den seneste informationsteknologi.
The rapporteur sought to achieve a first reading agreement with Council and the compromise amendments adopted today had been formerly negotiated and accepted in informal trialogues with the Commission and the Council.
Det handlede Parlamentets afstemning onsdag om, da der skulle stemmes om tre betænkninger af Carlos COEHLO, (PPE-DE,PT).
However MEPs refused to introduce a last minute change requested by Council which would allow national intelligence services to have access to the information stored in SIS II.
Betænkningerne, som blev vedtaget i Parlamentet onsdag resultat af forhandlinger mellem Parlamentet, det finske formandskab og Kommissionen, så det kunne sikres, at lovgivningsarbejdet kunne afsluttes i første behandling.
"The proposal to give access to the SIS II to the intelligence services does not make sense as we cannot increase the demands on personal data and on the other hand open access to structures in the Member States which cannot be, fully or partially, under the scrutiny of the authorities responsible for data protection," the EP rapporteur Carlos Coelho (EPP-ED, PT) said during the debate.
En ny forvaltningsmyndighed
In order to accommodate the new Member States and Switzerland the updated SIS II system was necessary.
Et af Parlamentets konkrete ændringer til Kommissionens udspil var oprettelsen af en EU-finansieret forvaltningsmyndighed, som skal have ansvaret for den operationelle forvaltning af SIS II's hoveddatabase, hvor alle oplysningerne som bliver indhentet af SIS bliver gemt.
It will be easier to manage, more flexible and secure and capable of integrating new data, new functions and the interlinking of alerts.
(Hidtil en funktion varetaget af Kommissionen).
Use of biometrics
Forvaltningsmyndighedens behandling af personoplysninger skal overvåges af Den europæiske Databeskyttelsesenhed.
The use of biometrics and the interlinking of alerts are two new elements in SIS II that will be introduced to improve the reliability and enhance the capacities of the system.
Der er dog særlige regler for foto og fingeraftryk, som kun kan indlæses i databasen efter kvalitetskontrol.
The regulation however says that a member state is to create a link between alerts only when there is a clear operational need.
Når systemet teknisk set er klar til det, skal foto og fingeraftryk også kunne bruges til at identificere folk ud fra deres biometriske data.
One of the new compromise proposals is for a Management Authority, funded by the EU budget, to manage the operation of the SIS II central data base.
Inden denne funktion bliver taget i brug skal Europa-Parlamentet høres.
It has to be operational within a maximum period of five years after the legislation enters into force.
Det finske formandskab har fået mandat af Rådet til at afslutte forhandlingerne efter førstebehandlingen, så systemet hurtigt kan komme på plads.
The Management Authority's personal data processing activities would be monitored by the European Data Protection Supervisor, who would be required to ensure that they are audited to international standards at least every four years.
SIS II systemet skulle oprindeligt have været operationelt i marts 2007, hvilket ville gøre det muligt at åbne grænserne fra oktober 2007.
During a transitional period before this authority starts work the Commission will be responsible for the management of the SIS II central data base.
Det er dog ikke realistisk.
It may delegate the management to national public bodies in two different countries.
Det finske formandskab har nævnt slutningen af 2008 som en mulighed.
The European Parliament and the Council must be regularly informed about the conditions and the scope of that delegation.
Inden afstemningen sagde den finske minister, Paula Lethomäki på vegne af Rådet: "I de næste par uger vil Rådet diskutere resultatet af denne vigtige afstemning i Parlamentet.
Finally, each Member State would be responsible for setting up and maintaining a national data system that can communicate with the central SIS II and must designate an authority for that purpose.
Jeg tror på, at vi kan få en aftale i første behandlingen.
It would also have to take steps necessary to protect personal data.
Jeg vil gerne understrege, at vi er meget tæt på en løsning i dette vigtige politiske spørgsmål".
(Regulation, Article 10) The Member State issuing an alert shall be responsible for ensuring that the data is accurate, up-to date and is entered in the SIS II lawfully.

The codecision report on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council regarding access to the Second Generation Schengen Information System (SIS II) by the services in the Member States responsible for issuing registration certificates for vehicles was approved with 561 votes in favour, 39 against and 62 abstentions.
Opstanden i Ungarn 1956 var skelsættende
1956 Hungarian Uprising - European Parliament salutes bravery
Den ungarske opstand i 1956 var ifølge Parlamentet en af de skelsættende manifestationer for frihed og demokrati i det 20. århundrede, som trodsede kommunismen i Sovjet-blokken, og Parlamentet hædrer de mænd og kvinder i Ungarn, som "med deres selvopofrelse gav et glimt af håb til andre nationer, der blev holdt i et kvælergreb af det kommunistiske styre".
The European Parliament salutes the brave men and women of Hungary who, by their self-sacrifice, gave a beacon of hope to other nations under the stranglehold of Communist rule.
Parlamentet understreger i beslutningsforslaget, at det demokratiske samfund enstemmigt må forkaste den repressive og udemokratiske kommunistiske ideologi og fastholde principperne om frihed, demokrati, menneskerettigheder og retsstat og indtage et klart standpunkt, uanset hvornår de bliver krænket, og opfordrer alle demokratiske lande til klart at fordømme de forbrydelser, der begås af alle totalitære styrer;
MEPs underline that the democratic community must unequivocally reject the repressive and undemocratic Communist ideology and uphold the principles of liberty, democracy, human rights and the rule of law, and take a clear stand whenever they are violated.
Parlamentet opfordrer også til, at medlemslandene gennem et europæisk program skal styrke samarbejdet mellem de forsknings- og dokumentationscentre, der beskæftiger sig med de totalitære styrers forbrydelser.
The House calls on all democratic countries to clearly condemn the crimes committed by all totalitarian regimes.
Europa-Parlamentet går ind i kampen mod brystkræft
Fight against breast cancer in the enlarged EU
Alle kvinder i EU mellem 50 og 59 år skal tilbydes mammografiscreeninger hvert andet år.
In adopting a joint resolution on breast cancer in the enlarged EU, MEPs call on the European Commission to present without delay the progress report, which it called for by 2006 in its resolution of 5 June 2003, on the steps taken by the Member States to lower breast cancer mortality rates.
Det mener Europa-Parlamentet, som i dag stemmer om en beslutning om kampen mod brystkræft.
The joint resolution was adopted with 641 votes in favour, 11 against with 4 abstentions.
Brystkræft er den hyppigste dødsårsag blandt kvinder mellem 25 og 59 år i EU.
Every year 275,000 women in the EU contract breast cancer, and 88,000 women and 1,000 men die from it.
Som led i den internationale brystkræftmåned har Parlamentet sat fokus på sygdommen, som hvert år koster mere end 88.000 europæiske kvinder og ca. 1000 mænd livet.
MEPs adopted a resolution today on actions to combat this leading cause of death in women aged between 35 and 59 and the commonest cancer in women.
Men der er stor forskel på dødelighedsprocenterne, behandlingen og forebyggelsen af brystkræft i medlemslandene.
MEPs call for measures such as nationwide screening programmes, interdisciplinary breast units, reintegration into the job market and research into breast cancer prevention and treatment.
Parlamentet opfordrer derfor medlemslandene til at indføre landsdækkende mammografiscreening, hvor alle kvinder mellem 50 og 69 år får tilbudt en screening hvert andet år, for at opnå et tydeligt fald i brystkræftdødeligheden.
"With this form of early detection alone, we could save the lives of about 31 000 women a year in the EU", said MEP Karin Jöns (PSE, DE) co-author of the three oral questions in Tuesday's debate.
