Som eksempler nævnte han klima- og energipolitik og områder som Mellemøsten og Kosovo.
It will lead to a stronger economic performance and improve the lives of the citizens o f the EU.
Nationalismen har spillet fallit
Any organisation that started with six members and has grown to 27 would need to change its rules.
Martin Schulz (PSE, DE) afstod fra en opremsning af Lissabon-traktatens mange fordele.
Johannes VOGGENHUBER (Greens/EFA, AT) said the Treaty "is the foundation of the first supranational democracy in history".
I stedet koncentrerede han sig om de mere grundlæggende spørgsmål.
We are "building a European social union with its own legal personality."
Han mindede om, at for 100 år siden, i 1908, var der en sultan, der herskede i Tyrkiet, og en zar, der herskede i Rusland.
This means that it would have to become a responsible actor.
Strasbourg var underlagt det tyske kejserrige, ledet af kejser Wilhelm II.
However, the treaty was "below our aspirations".
England, Frankrig og til dels Tyskland havde betydelige kolonier.
"As we look to the future, we have to fulfil the spirit of the treaty and make a union of people and not of states", he concluded.
50 år senere, i 1958, havde situationen ændret sig radikalt.
Mary Lou MCDONALD (GUE/NGL, IE) spoke of a "fear of referendums" in all Member States except Ireland.
Nu herskede Nikita Kruchev i Sovjetunionen, mens Dwight D. Eisenhower var amerikansk præsident.
"The Lisbon Treaty commits us to more military spending and increased support of armaments....
Kolonierne var under afvikling, og Europa havde ikke overvundet følgerne af Anden Verdenskrig.
"This treaty is not about reform or efficiency, it is a carte blanche for further eroding democracy."
I dag, i 2008, kan vi ikke forestille os, hvordan verden vil se ud om 25 år, fortsatte Martin Schulz.
"The Lisbon treaty is a bad deal for Ireland, a bad deal for E urope, and a bad deal for the wider world."
Det kan kun ske ved at handle i fællesskab, sagde han.
You may be complacent today, but you are increasingly being held in contempt."
I den forbindelse nævnte han udfordringen fra de nye industrilande, Kina, Indien og Brasilien.
In their arrogance, the EU political elite had thought that the people would be persuaded with their propaganda, he said.
Formålet med Lissabon-traktaten er at sikre demokrati på verdensplan, og derfor støtter De Europæiske Socialdemokrater traktaten, fastslog Martin Schulz.
Secondly, he said, "the treaty process failed to address the issue of a single seat for the European Parliament, leaving us with the indefensible situation of trekking between Brussels and Strasbourg."
Nationalismen har spillet fallit - kun i fællesskab kan vi løse fremtidens problemer, konkluderede han.
Thirdly, Mr Hudghton said that he could not support the inclusion of the common fisheries policy (CFP) as one of only four exclusive competences of the Union listed in the Treaty.
Britiske opt-outs
"We are not afraid of a public debate on Europe.
Hele verden venter på et mere handlekraftigt EU, sagde Andrew DUFF (ALDE, UK).
Timothy KIRKHOPE (EPP-ED, UK) stated that from the start, he has made it clear that this Treaty or Constitution is not the best way forward for Europe at this time.
Han ønskede at afslutte de tilsyneladende endeløse skænderier om styreformen i EU for i stedet at fokusere på konkrete politiske forbedringer.
Conservatives, he said, support a Europe of independent states working closely together to meet the challenges of globalisation, global poverty and global warming, as has already been stated by others.
Det kan vi gøre med Lissabon-traktaten, sagde han.
I do not believe that what we have before us will help us particularly in that great challenge. "
Han beklagede, at nogle i salen, herunder de britiske konservative, tilsyneladende ønskede at skrue tiden tilbage til før Nice, for ikke at sige til det 19. århundrede.
Well, perhaps, in the UK, the Prime Minister should note that, and he should then allow his citizens to have their say on this undoubtedly vital matter."
Det gælder desværre også den britiske Labour-regering, som ikke har kunnet modstå presset fra nationalisterne og derfor har fået indført en række opt-outs, vurderede han.
Kathy SINNOTT (IND/DEM, IE) objected to a report on the Lisbon Treaty being rushed through the House before Members are given the Treaty in a readable, contextual form.
Han håbede, at Storbritannien på et eller andet tidspunkt vil finde sin naturlige plads i det europæiske fællesskab.
Coming from Ireland, where a referendum is taking place, and as news of this spreads, she said she is receiving requests for the Treaty every day.
Fordelene er indlysende
"When I have to tell people there is no readable version, they are incredulous.
Lissabon-traktaten gør, at EU fortsat kan gøre fremskridt på en række vigtige områder, herunder økonomi og sikkerhed, sagde Brian CROWLEY (UEN, EI).
And what we are doing here today, and throughout this Lisbon process, is a betrayal of our citizens, the very citizens whose cooperation and hard work we will need to further the European project..
Efter hans mening er der indlysende fordele ved EU-medlemskab.
Ashley MOTE (NI, UK) asked if the Lisbon Treaty is such a good thing, why is it so inaccessible.
Han fremhævede det indre marked som en af de vigtigste nyskabelser inden for de sidste 30 år.
Like the last Treaty, he said, this one gives the EU a permanent right to seize more powers without any future agreements – "an outrageous power grab."
Derfor håbede han oprigtigt, at irerne vil sige ja ved folkeafstemningen i maj.
We should leave, taking our EUR 2 million an hour with us, and we would all be better off."
En union af borgere
That is the very essence of subsidiarity, she said.
Det har taget lang tid og krævet en stor indsats at komme så vidt, men nu er det første overnationale demokrati ved at være på plads, sagde Johannes VOGGENHUBER (Verts/ALE, AT).
The Lisbon Treaty, she said, upholds the sovereign right of Member States and that is just one of the very many reasons why she is supporting it.
Men han mente, at EU fortsat har et problem med at overbevise borgerne om projektets relevans og holdbarhed.
Therefore, they have no excuse not to wish to see this Treaty passed.
I den forbindelse citerede han den tidligere amerikanske udenrigsminister, Henry Kissinger, fra en artikel i Der Spiegel.
Roger HELMER (NI, UK).stated that in his country, opinion polls show that some 75% of the British people want a referendum and two thirds of them would vote ‘no’.
Kissinger har sagt, at nationalstaterne i Europa er ved at svinde bort, idet de ikke bare afgiver suverænitet til EU, men også deres fremtidsvision.
Today, Mr Helmer said, the European project is abandoning any claim to democratic legitimacy.
Og da EU efter hans mening ikke har nogen vision for fremtiden, er der opstået et vakuum eller tomrum mellem Europas fortid og Europas fremtid.
"Today, we will vote through the renamed Constitution in an act that shows monstrous contempt for European citizens and democratic values.
Vi skal skabe en egentlig social union, et ægte res publica, konkluderede han.
Most French and Dutch MEPs will support this report, he said. "
Det danner ramme om den nødvendige solidaritet mellem statsborgere, og disse ledes og beskyttes af en regeringsmyndighed, der legitimeres af folkets suverænitet; red.)
In the UK, he said, the Labour Government has broken its solemn promise of a referendum, yet in postal polls conducted by campaign groups, more than 80% of voters vote ‘yes’ to a referendum.
Bange magthavere
We must listen to the people.
Hvorfor er magthaverne bange for folkets røst, spurgte Mary Lou McDONALD (GUE/NGL, EI).
Proinsias DE ROSSA (PES, IE) said that the weapons of those who pedal fear is the big lie, "eloquently demonstrated here today by Ms McDonald and Ms Sinnott".
Efter hendes mening er Lissabon-traktaten udtryk for hykleri, fordi den på den ene side forøger støtten til rustningsindustrien og på den anden side forringer arbejdstagernes vilkår.
Before polling day in Ireland, all these big lies will have been shown up for what they are: the nightmares of parties which have learned nothing from their history and are bent on condemning the people of Europe to repeating it.
Det er også hykleri at fremhæve EU som verdens største donor af udviklingsbistand, når man samtidig påtvinger udviklingslandene en række restriktive partnerskabsaftaler, sagde hun.
Avril DOYLE (EPP-ED, IE) stated that all the Irish parties, including her own (Fine Gael), with the exception of Sinn Fein, will be supporting the Irish Government and working hard to ratify this Treaty and to get the message across.
Hun var overbevist om, at borgerne ikke vil støtte en sådan traktat, og at det er derfor, de ikke bliver spurgt.
However, Mrs Doyle warned that "while your goodwill and support is most welcome, a gentle word of warning – please do not be tempted in your eagerness for a positive outcome of our referendum, to tell the Irish electorate how to vote."
Hun ønskede, at alle borgere i EU må få mulighed for at stemme om traktaten.
Having not seen in the Treaty himself, he asked could they bring him the clause that provides for this sort of protean development?
Lissabon-traktaten er en dårlig aftale for Irland, for Europa og for resten af verden, og derfor håber jeg, at borgerne vil afvise den, sagde hun.
Responding to Mr Duff, she said, "there is falsehood being peddled in Ireland on the ‘self-amending’ Treaty: it is the invention of a negative mind.
En stor løgn
It is not true and it is not so."
Det hele er en stor løgn, fordi man ikke vil give borgerne den folkeafstemning, man havde lovet, sagde Nigel FARAGE (IND/DEM, UK).
Concluding, Ms McGuinness said that, contrary to the naysayers, this Treaty is a good deal for Ireland, a good deal for the EU, a good deal for Europe, and she urged citizens in Ireland to vote ‘yes’!
Efter hans mening er Lissabon-traktaten stort set identisk med den kuldsejlede forfatningstraktat.
Colm BURKE (EPP-ED, IE) said that a ‘yes’ for the Lisbon Treaty is a ‘yes’ for the Charter of Fundamental Rights.
Det indebærer, understregede han, at EU principielt kan gennemføre traktatændringer uden at indkalde en regeringskonference.
While the Charter, he said, does not establish any new powers for the EU, it does make it easier for citizens to find out what their rights and responsibilities are under European law.
Godt nok er flaget og hymnen blevet strøget, men det er kun for at undgå en folkeafstemning, fortsatte han.
The Charter, Mr Burke said, was only a political declaration when it was initially agreed in 2000.
Nigel Farage vurderede, at EU anvender mere og mere totalitære metoder for at lovgive om alle aspekter af borgernes tilværelse.
If the people of Ireland vote ‘yes’ to the Lisbon Treaty, they will also be conferring legally-binding treaty status on the Charter of Fundamental Rights, to the benefit of all Irish and EU citizens.
Han håbede, at irerne vil afvise traktaten med et massivt flertal ved afstemningen i maj.
Or do they mean that it must be over 50% in each Member State, in which case each Member State gives up its right to make the decision to every other Member State!
Demokratisk kontrol
Where is the rationality in that?
Han noterede, at flertallet godt nok kan godkende traktaten, men at det ikke kan forkaste den parlamentariske kontrol.
for "the removal of restrictions on international trade bit by bit" and it is, she said, a guiding principle that it will interact with states which are not EU Member States.
I den forbindelse efterlyste han en forklaring på, hvorfor den danske udgave af Lissabon-traktaten ikke omtaler unionsborgerskabet, og hvorfor de enkelte lande ikke bevarer retten til at udpege en kommissær.
Since October 2006, she said, the EU has been trying to remove obstacles to developing countries, obstacles such as environmental regulations, regulations for consumer protection and health regulations, regardless of the implications of these actions.
Vi må ikke glemme vores rolle som parlamentarisk kontrolfunktion på vegne af 500 millioner europæiske borgere, sluttede han.
Putting those two elements together, she concluded, this gives us a significant sign about the step backwards in the EU approach to combat world poverty and inequality.
Borgerne bør have lov til at udtale sig
Responses to the debate
Mogens CAMRE (Dansk Folkeparti) mente, at man har strøget flaget og hymnen i et forsøg på at fremstille Lissabon-traktaten som væsentlig forskellig fra forfatningstraktaten.
Summing up for the Council, Mr Lenarčič stressed that patience and determination would be required to deal with who represents the Council, with the operation of foreign policy, and with justice and home affairs issues.
Det skulle være begrundelsen for ikke at spørge borgerne ved en folkeafstemning.
Ms Wallström also stressed that it is for Member States to decide what ratification procedure to use, but she urged them, whatever method they use, to communicate with citizens.
Den vil give udvidede beføjelser til EU på en række områder, og derfor bør borgerne have lov til at udtale sig, konkluderede han.
Concluding, he quoted Cervantes, who had said "there are times when one has to decide whether to stay still or move forward".
Behersket støtte til Kosovo
Kosovo declares independence - MEPs debate Europe's newest country
Kosovos selvstændighedserklæring har skabt en vanskelig situation for EU, fordi der ikke er enighed blandt medlemsstaterne om at anerkende den nye stat.
On Wednesday afternoon MEPs held a debate with the Council and Commission on the implications of Sunday's unilateral declaration of independence by Kosovo.
Endelig advarede han Serbien mod af følge den aggressive retorik op med konkrete handlinger.
"We appeal to the EU not to accept Kosovo's independence and to abide by decisions of the UN Security Council."
Pandoras æske
British and Irish speakers
Francis WURTZ (GUE/NGL) frygtede, at Kosovos selvstændighedserklæring vil åbne en Pandoras æske af nationalisme i Europa.
Seán Ó NEACHTAIN (UEN, IE) ( speaking in Irish ) wholeheartedly welcomed Kosovo’s Declaration of Independence.
Stillet over for 200.000 interne flygtninge, en arbejdsløshed på 50 % og talrige overgreb på mindretal står EU over for en voldsom udfordring, vurderede han.
However, he said, it is imperative that the civil and political rights of the Serbian minority are still respected in Kosovo.
Samtidig satte han spørgsmålstegn ved EU's muligheder for at tilbyde befolkningen nogle rimelige fremtidsudsigter, specielt på grund af den manglende enighed i Rådet.
The EU, he said, must support the Kosovan Government in promoting the economy of the state.
Klare kommandoforhold
The problem of unemployment in Kosovo, now at 40%, must be addressed.
Bastiaan BELDER (IND/DEM, NL) støttede for så vidt EU's beslutning om at sende en mission til Kosovo.
Richard HOWITT (PES, UK) accepted that this is a test of credibility for the European Union, and any failure to respect the Serb population’s rights in the new Kosovo would be a victory for ethnic cleansing in reverse.
Han efterlyste klare kommandoforhold og en ordentlig ansvarsfordeling.
Charles TANNOCK (EPP-ED, UK) warned that we have now managed successfully to injure a Serbia trying to forget Milošević and build a democratic future.
Endelig krævede han en koordineret indsats mod den organiserede kriminalitet i området.
Already, he said, Mr Talat, the leader of the so called ‘breakaway republic of Northern Cyprus’ claims Kosovo as a precedent for his territory.

Bedre kontrol med gennemførelse af EU-retten
MEPs call on better use of Community law infringement procedures against Member States
Europa-Parlamentet har med stort flertal godkendt en betænkning af Monica FRASSONI (Verts/ALE, IT) om forbedring af kontrollen med gennemførelsen af EU-lovgivningen.
The report by Monica Frassoni (Greens/EFA - IT), evaluates the Commission's report on monitoring of the application of Community law in 2005 and its communication on "A Europe of results - Applying Community law", recently adopted.
Årsrapporten fra 2005 forholder sig både til, om landene har gennemført EU-direktiverne i deres egen lovgivning som de skal, og om de overtræder EU-regler.
The 2005 Annual report
Når landene har gennemført fællesskabslovgivningen, skal de elektronisk melde tilbage til Kommissionen, at de har gjort det.
MEPs noted that the accession of the 10 new Member States had no impact on the number of infringements of Community law, as it may have been the case.
MEP'erne konstater desuden i forhold til årsrapporten, at optagelsen af 10 nye lande I 2004 ikke har haft indflydelse på antallet af overtrædelser af EU-reglerne, som det måske kunne have været forventet.
As far as human resources are concerned, Parliament backed the call by the Commission Directorates-General for an increase of the budget in this field.
For at været sikker på, at det ikke skyldes mangelfuld registrering eller en bevidst politisk beslutning om at være mindre striks over for de nye medlemsstater, ønsker MEP'erne en yderligere forklaring af dette.
MEPs also supported the practice of sharing of best practices between Member States.
Derudover mener MEP'erne også, at det er en god idé at sende folk ud i medlemsstaterne for at undersøge de klager, der kommer til Kommissionen.
Finally, fact-finding missions to various Member States should also be encouraged, according to the approved text.
Resultaternes Europa
Communication on "A Europe of results – Applying Community law"
Betænkningen ser også nærmere på Kommissionens meddelelse fra 2007 - "Et resultatorienteret Europa".
The adopted resolution also analyses the communication on "A Europe of Results", adopted by the Commission in 2007.
Et af hovedemnerne i denne meddelelse var at sikre ordentlig anvendelse af EU-reglerne for at opfylde målene i EU's politikker.
In fact, the communication includes the proper application of Community law to ensure full realisation of Treaties' objectives as one of its priority objectives.
Ifølge MEP'erne er de vigtigste hindringer for, at overtrædelsesproceduren kan fungere effektivt, dels at det tager for lang tid, dels at den artikel i traktaten (art. 228), der åbner op for, at EF-Domstolen kan give landene bøder, hvis de ikke efterlever afgørelser fra domstolen, ikke bliver taget i brug ofte nok.
According to MEPs, the main obstacle to the effectiveness of the infringement procedure (articles 226 and 228 of the EC Treaty), designed to oblige Member States to implement EU law properly, is its length and the limited use of Article 228.
MEP'erne ønsker derfor, at Kommissionen skal være mere fast i sin anvendelse af artikel 228 for at sikre, at domstolens afgørelser udføres.
According to article 228, the Commission has power to act against a Member State that does not comply with a judgement of the European Court of Justice, by issuing a series of written warnings.
Europa-Parlamentets og nationale parlamenters rolle
The role of the European Parliament and national parliaments
MEP'erne foreslår også at involvere Parlamentets udvalg mere i overvågningen af EU-lovgivningens udførelse.
MEPs propose to involve more Parliament’s committees in monitoring the application of Community law.
De mener, at Parlamentets ordførere for en bestemt sag skal spille en central rolle i forhold til kontrollen af medlemslandenes overholdelse af EU-reglerne.
Therefore, they suggested that, wherever possible, Parliament’s rapporteurs for a particular file should play a continuing role in the ongoing review of Member States' compliance with Community law.
Endelig ønsker medlemmerne et forstærket samarbejde mellem nationale parlamenter og Europa-Parlamentet for at fremme og øge en effektiv granskning af de europæiske anliggender på nationalt plan.
Finally, Members called for increased cooperation between national parliaments and the European Parliament to promote effective scrutiny of European matters at national level.
