Barroso understregede også behovet for, at EU skulle stå mere til regnskab over for borgerne, og at subsidiaritetsprincippet skulle styrkes, og han noterede sig, at siden september 2006 er de nationale parlamenter blevet konsulteret i forhold til Kommissionens forslag.
Mr Barroso also stressed the need to strengthen the Union's accountability to citizens and the application of the principle of subsidiarity, noting that the new arrangements for notifying national parliaments of the Commission's proposals and consultations have been in place since September 2006.
I forhold til Chartret for Grundlæggende Rettigheder sagde Barroso, at han ikke kunne forstå, hvordan man som demokrat kunne modsætte sig et charter for grundlæggende rettigheder.
Finally, advocating the inclusion of the Charter in the new treaty, Mr Barroso said: "I cannot understand how any democrat can oppose the Charter of Fundamental Rights".
Grøn Uge: Hvordan kan vi gøre en forskel?
Green Week - MEPs spell out how we can make a difference
Grøn Uge 2007
11-15 June -Green Week
Denne uge er “Grøn Uge” – en årlig begivenhed, der fokuserer på et miljøvenligt liv.
This week is "Green week" in the EU institutions - an annual event that promotes a more environmentally friendly way of life.
Vi bad en række MEP’er nævne én vigtig ting vi hver især kan gøre i vores arbejdsliv for at gavne miljøet.
It aims to suggest practical ways in which we can all help avert the worst effects of climate change.
Ved hjælp af et projekt, der skal gøre vores ”økologiske fodspor” synlige, vil vi snart vide præcis, hvor meget CO2 Europa-Parlamentet producerer, og hvordan vi kan nedsætte vores udledning.
Speaking on behalf of the Parliament's efforts to reduce its environmental impact, President Hans-Gert Pöttering said that "with the help of a study which is intended to make our ‘ecological footprint’ visible, we will soon know in detail where the European Parliament actually produces CO2 and how much and how we can reduce our emissions.
Der er lang vej til et Parlament helt fri for CO2, men vi tager det første skridt.
It is a long way to a Parliament free of CO2, but we are taking the first step."
Miroslav Ouzký, (PPE-DE, Tjekkiet): Vi lever i et overforbrugssamfund, og vi kan hver især gøre noget ved ganske enkelt at sætte forbruget ned.
From Slovenian Liberal ALDE MEP Mojca Drčar-Murko , "we have to change our anthropocentric attitudes towards nature, animals and plants likewise, into an enlightened behaviour, respectful of the diversity of Earth’s life".
Edite Estrela (PSE, Portugal ): Små ting som at slukke for airconditionen, når du ikke har brug for den.
She said" each of us could do something for the environment simply by reducing our own consumption.
Gérard Onesta (Verts/ALE, Frankrig): Vi må lære at læse på skærmen og kun printe de mest nødvendige dokumenter ud.
Dutch PSE Member Dorette Corbey : "Personal choices do make a difference.
Dorette Corbey (PSE, Holland): Personlige valg gør en forskel, så bliv vegetar, isoler dit hus og lad være med at flyve på ferie til sommer.
So become vegetarian, insulate your home and don't fly to your holiday destination this summer."
Dagmar Roth-Behrendt (PSE, Tyskland): Tænk hele tiden på miljøvenlig transport, på energiforbruget, overforbrug af kontorartikler, affaldsbortskaffelse osv.
German PSE Member Dagmar Roth-Behrendt advocated thinking about "environmentally sound transport, use of energy, use of office material, waste disposal. at all times."
Karl-Heinz Florenz (PPE-DE, Tyskland): Vi skal rette blikket mod vores hjem - for eksempel ved at forbedre isoleringen eller varmesystemet.
Karl-Heinz Florenz, a German Member of the EPP-ED: "we should focus on our homes, for example to improve the insulation or heating system."
Teresa Riera Madurell (PSE, Spanien): Et vigtigt bidrag er at tillægge sig energibesparende vaner som f.eks. termostater i husets rum.
Italian Monica Frassoni for the Greens/EFA: First ask yourself, "Do I need to take a car to go to that place or can I rather take the bus, or walk, or ride my bike?"
Ilyana Ilieva Raeva (ALDE, Bulgarien): Tænk på miljøet, før du printer ud.
Spanish MEP Cristina Gutiérrez-Cortines (EPP-ED): "In zones of high temperatures, the windows should remain open all night long, till dawn.
Tunne Kelam, (PPE-DE, Estland): Lad fax’en stå, og send kun dokumenter ad elektronisk vej.
Closed, during the sunny hours of the day, which are the hottest, and when possible using the shades or blinds, so light will be able to come through without letting the heat in".
Jana Hybášková (PPE-DE, Tjekkiet): Nedsæt forbruget både som lovgiver og som privatperson.
Spanish PES MEP Teresa Riera Madurell told us that "an important contribution is to adopt energy saving gestures like room temperature control".
Alessandro Foglietta (UEN, Italien): Vi skal genbruge og bruge hovedet så meget vi kan.
Bulgarian ALDE member Bilyana Ilieva Raeva had this to say "before printing, think about the environment!"
Monica Frassoni (Verts/ALE, Italien): Du skal spørge dig selv: Behøver jeg at tage bilen, eller kan jeg lige så godt tage bussen, eller gå, eller cykle?
Tunne Kelam , an Estonian EPP-ED Member, said "we should stop using faxes and send documents only via electronic means."
Martin Schulz (PSE, Tyskland): Sluk for computeren og lyset, når du forlader dit kontor efter arbejdstid.
Gyula Hegyi, a Hungarian PSE Member said " walk or bike to your working place and eat less meat and more vegetables!
Caroline Lucas (Verts/ALE, England): Det grønneste vi kan gøre på jobbet er at kræve, gennem effektive fagforeninger, at vores arbejdsgivere nedsætter deres udledninger af drivhusgasser.
Leader of the PSE Martin Schulz suggested: "switch off your computer and the lights when leaving your office after work."
Roberto Musacchio (GUE/NGL, Italien): Respekter nogle simple regler: brug vand ansvarligt og foretag økologiske valg for dine transportbehov.
Jana Hybášková, a Czech MEP for the EPP-ED said that "reducing consumption both as a legislator and as a private person".
Roger Helmer (NI, England): Ja, vi kan nedbringe energiforbruget, køre den industrielle revolution baglæns, bringe heltemodige økonomiske ofre og ødelægge konkurrenceevnen for vores europæiske økonomier, imens vores globale konkurrenter skriger af grin over vores tåbelighed.
Italian PSE Member Guido Sacconi said we should "go to work by public transport and leave the car home."
Nu jeg tænker over det, er det præcis, hvad vi planlægger at gøre.
British Green MEP Caroline Lucas said "the greenest thing we can do at work is to demand, through effective unions, that our employers reduce their greenhouse gas emissions."

FYROM opfordret til at følge "bedste europæiske praksis"
"European best practices" urged on Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia
Betænkningen opfordrer til, at der, når de nødvendige forhåndsbetingelser er opfyldt, snarest muligt indledes optagelsesforhandlinger.
It calls for EU negotiations to start in "the nearest possible future", once it meets the necessary conditions.
FYROM har været uafhængigt siden 1991 og blev godkendt som kandidat til EU-medlemskab i december 2005, men forhandlingerne med det bjergrige Balkanland er endnu ikke begyndt.
Independent since 1991, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) was accepted as a "candidate" for EU membership in December 2005, but negotiations with the mountainous Balkan state have not yet begun.
Ud over makedonere er der et albansk mindretal på 23% foruden grupper bestående af romaer, tyrkere, rumænere, serbere og bosniere.
As well as Macedonians it has an Albanian minority of 23% as well as communities of Roma, Turks, Romanians, Serbs and Bosnians.
Det officielle sprog er makedonsk, selvom andre sprog også kan have officiel status i f.eks. kommunal sammenhæng, hvis sprogene bliver talt af mindst 20% af befolkningen - hvilket især gælder for albanerne.
Its official language is Macedonian although other languages can also have official status at a municipal level if they are spoken by at least 20% of the population - a situation that mainly applies to Albanian.
Den opfordrede FYROM til at lære af de bedste erfaringer fra andre europæiske lande, der har indpasset sproglige forskelligheder.
It called on the country to learn from the best practices of other European states that have accommodated linguistic differences.
Uddannelse og offentlig administration skal officielt imødekomme de større minoritetssprog og afspejle den etniske sammensætning i landet, så ”minoriteter kan leve side om side på et ligeværdigt og harmonisk grundlag.”
In particular it stressed that education and public administration should take into account linguistic differences so "minorities can live with on another on an equal and harmonious basis".
Betænkningen anerkender FYROM's indsats for at involvere mindretallene i beslutningsprocesserne og forbedre forholdene for det albanske sprog indenfor administration og uddannelse.
It says that this is being done by including minorities in decision-making and improving the position of the Albanian language in government and education.
Den tyske kristendemokrat Doris Pack, der også er leder af delegationen for Sydøsteuropa, sagde, at landets nuværende lov om minoriteter er ”eksemplarisk”.
Speaking during the foreign affairs committee meeting he called for negotiations on EU accession to be "launched in the nearest possible future" on the condition that the country "recognises the equal value of languages of its inhabitants".
FYROM's udenrigsminister Antonio Milososki oplyste til Udenrigsudvalget, at EU-medlemskab er en ”nødvendighed” for hans land, og det bakkes op af 90% af befolkningen.
The current efforts of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia were also praised during the meeting by another MEP with experience in the region.
FYROM har allerede skrevet historie indenfor EU ved at være scene for EU’s første militærmission i samarbejde med NATO.
Although not a member, the country has already made EU history by being the scene of the EU's first ever military mission with NATO.
I 2003 hjalp ”operation Concordia" med at stabilisere landet og fremtvinge en fredsaftale, da landet balancerede på kanten af en borgerkrig mellem regeringens styrker og etniske albanske separatister.
In 2003 "operation Concordia" helped stabilise the country and enforce a peace agreement as it teetered on the brink of a civil war between government forces and ethnic Albanian separatists.
Efter fiaskoerne på Balkan i 1990’erne var missionen en succes for EU’s udenrigspolitik og for dens frontfigur Javier Solana.
After the failures in the Balkans in the 1990's this was a success for EU foreign policy and the efforts of its chief Javier Solana.
Siden uafhængigheden har landets navn været en kilde til kontroverser med Grækenland, som har tre provinser med navnet Makedonien.
Since independence the name of the country has been a source of controversy with Greece which has three provinces also called "Macedonia".
FYROM's forfatningsmæssige navn er ”Den Makedonske Republik”, og det navn benyttes også af Kina, USA og Rusland, mens FYROM benyttes af FN og EU.
There is some international disagreement on the usage as the US, Russia and China refer to it as the "Republic of Macedonia".
Meijer-betænkningen siger, at emnet ikke er en forhindring for at starte forhandlingerne.
Finally, he said that EU membership is a "necessity" for his country and told MEPs that 90% of the population supported EU accession.

EP ser på, hvordan den fri bevægelighed af varer kan forbedres
Hearing told of obstacles to freer trade across Europe
Fri bevægelighed for varer
Free movement of goods
Det har gjort livet for de handlende lettere, og det tillader EU at konkurrere globalt.
Thanks to the EU's common market they can be produced in one country then freely enjoyed in others.
Et EU-land kan ikke nægte adgang for produkter, der har været lovligt markedsført i et andet EU-land, med mindre det sker under henvisning til forbrugernes sikkerhed og sundhed.
A public hearing with MEPs and experts on 5 June in the European Parliament examined a planned new regulation that aims to sweep away many remaining restrictions on the flow of products around the Union.
Det skyldes reglerne om fri bevægelighed og princippet om fælles anerkendelse.
It is not just consumers who stand to lose out from restrictions on the free movement of goods.
Alligevel resterer der barrierer i form af nationale og lokale tekniske regler, der formulerer krav til betegnelse, form, størrelse, vægt, sammensætning, fremvisning, mærkning og indpakning; krav som kan udgøre en væsentlig forhindring for den fri bevægelighed af varer, ligesom det kan påføre ekstra administration og kontrol.
The hearing was told by Jean-Paul Mingasson of "Business Europe" that 28% of companies still encounter barriers when moving their produce from one EU state to another.
Manglende kendskab fra virksomheders og de nationale myndigheders side
Many of the rules relate to size weight, presentation, labelling and packaging.
Jean-Paul Mingasson, der er rådgiver for industrisammenslutningen BusinessEurope, sagde, at 28% af de virksomheder, der er involveret i handel på tværs af regioner, oplever barrierer.
Many small companies have to adapt their product to different markets which affects their competitiveness as a whole.
Hertil kommer undersøgelser, der viser, at især mange små og mellemstore virksomheder er nødt til enten at tilpasse deres produkter til tekniske regler i andre medlemsstater eller også undlade at markedsføre dem dér, hvilket i sidste ende betyder færre valgmuligheder for forbrugerne.
Speaking from the Danish perspective, Finn Lauritzen of their national enterprise and construction agency said consumers and industry benefited from the competition between different goods.
Den ny lovpakke
He said it kept manufacturers "on their toes".
Europa-Kommissionen fremsatte i februar forslag om nye regler for fri bevægelighed af varer, herunder:
He said that while certain safety regulations may apply in one country "in another country you require a light with a dynamo system and two hand breaks".
Info-kontorer - ”Contact Points”, som virksomheder kan kontakte for at få oplysninger om tekniske regler i det enkelte land.
These included bread and bakeries in Belgium and plant based products in Spain.
Mere dialog og udveksling af information mellem nationale myndigheder.
Some problems that speakers identified included a lack of awareness by consumers and business of the mutual recognition principle, a lack of dialogue between country's authorities and confusion as to the scope of the "mutual recognition" principle.
Bevisbyrden overgår fra producenten til det enkelte medlemsland.
In February of this year the European Commission proposed a regulation that would help ease the flow of goods.
Han bemærkede, at ”300 sager er afgjort af EF-domstolen, heriblandt sager om brød og bagerier i Belgien og forbud i Spanien mod vegetabilske produkter.
The Commission also wants to establish "product contact points" where companies can receive more information on what rules apply where.
For cykler er der fx visse sikkerhedsregler i ét land, mens man i et andet kræver dynamolygte og to håndbremser.”
The overall objective is to shift the burden of proof regarding at product from the manufacturer (where it currently is) to the country.
Virksomheden skal tilpasse produktet, og omkostningen går ud over omsætningen.
The Parliament's Internal Market Committee will be looking at the issue over the coming months.
Forslaget bliver debatteret i Udvalget om Indre Marked og derefter på plenarsamlingen.
There is the possibility the full Plenary will consider the issue in November.

Ordfører om klimaforandringer: Der er brug for “skrappe men realistiske” mål for forureningen
Climate change rapporteur: "strict but feasible" pollution targets needed
EU må fastsætte “skrappe men realistiske” mål for forureningen og samtidig forklare verdens øvrige store aktører, hvad vi har gjort og fortsat vil gøre med hensyn til klimaforandringerne.
The EU needs to set "strict but feasible" targets on pollution as well as explaining clearly to other international polluters what it has done and is intending to do on climate change.
Det mener den tyske kristendemokrat Karl-Heinz Florenz, Parlamentets ordfører for det ny midlertidige udvalg om klimaforandringer.
These are the views of German Christian Democrat Karl-Heinz Florenz - Parliament's rapporteur for its new temporary committee on climate change.
Han forudser, at Europa står på tærsklen til en industriel revolution indenfor ny teknologi.
He predicts that Europe is on the verge of a industrial revolution with new technology.
MEP’erne i udvalget er blevet bedt om at formulere forslag til en klimapolitik for EU.
MEPs on the committee have been asked to formulate proposals on EU climate policy.
I et interview kun for Parlamentets websted spurgte vi ham først, hvilken rolle Parlamentets ny midlertidige udvalg om klimaforandringer kan komme til at spille.
Speaking exclusively to the Parliament's website, we began by asking him what role the Parliament's new temporary committee on climate change could play.
Florenz: Parlamentet rummer en masse ekspertise spredt ud over forskellige udvalg.
K-HF: There is a lot of expertise in the Parliament spread over different committees.
Hovedopgaven for det midlertidige udvalg bliver at samle dette væld af viden.
The main task of the temporary committee will be to pool this wealth of knowledge.
De lovgivende udvalg - fx Miljøudvalget – vil fortsat have ansvar for lovgivningsarbejdet.
The legislative committees, such as the environment committee, will fully remain in charge of the legislative work.
Vi har faktisk ikke ret megen tid.
We actually do not have much time.
Udvalget vil fungere i ét, højst halvandet, år.
The committee will work for one year, one and a half at the most.
Vi er under tidspres, eftersom klimaforandringerne for øjeblikket ikke ser ud til at holde nogen pauser.
We are under time pressure because climate change currently doesn’t seem to be taking a break.
Det er lige nu meget vigtigt, at vi definerer dét, jeg kalder for et europæisk ”business card” (her mener han noget EU kan vise frem for resten af verden og som fortæller: ”Dette har vi opnået” og ”dette satser vi på at opnå”) – et business card, som vi så fremlægger for amerikanerne, inderne og kineserne.
It is very important that we define now what I call our European "business card" (by this he means something the EU can present to other international polluters as a way of saying "this is what we have achieved" and "this is what we intend to achieve") – a business card that we present to the Americans, the Indians and the Chinese.
Jo hurtigere vi får lavet det, jo bedre – så kan de europæiske virksomheder lave deres forskning og udvikle teknologier, filtre, forureningsfri kulkraftværker og biler.
The sooner we do that, the better, so that European industries can do the research and develop technologies, filters, clean coal power stations, and cars.
Hvis de reneste biler i verden ikke bliver udviklet af den europæiske bilindustri, vil den gå til grunde, og så vil andre producere disse biler i fremtiden.
If the European car industry doesn’t build the cleanest cars in the world, it will cease to exist and others will build those cars of the future.
Kineserne og inderne har ikke andet valg end at køre i økobiler, hvis de ikke skal blive kvalt af forurening.
The Chinese and the Indian people will have no other choice than driving clean cars if they don’t want to die due to pollution.
Efter Kyoto: Hvad nu?
Post Kyoto: what next?
Med hensyn til de fungerende internationale aftaler om klimaforandringer, så udløber Kyotoaftalen i 2012 – vi spurgte, hvad han mener, der skal erstatte den.
Turning to existing international agreements on climate change, the Kyoto protocol is due to expire in 2012 - we asked what he thought should replace it.
Florenz: Ja, for det første behøver det måske ikke blive kaldt en efterfølger til Kyotoaftalen.
K-HF: Well firstly, maybe it doesn’t need to be called “Kyoto follow-up agreement”.
Det er et meget følsomt begreb.
There are a lot of sensitivities about this.
Politikerne er nødt til at fastsætte skrappe men realistiske mål.
Policy makers have to set strict, but feasible targets.
Et godt eksempel er direktivet om skrotning af biler og regle rne om elektronikaffald.
A good example is the directive on car recycling and the regulation on electronic waste.
Man ser ikke længere bilvrag og gamle køleskabe flyde i skovene, og Kina bruger faktisk vores love som skabelon for deres egne.
You don’t see old cars and fridges in our forests anymore and China is actually using our legislation as a blue print for their own.
Det er en rigtig succeshistorie.
This is a real success story.
Prisen for at redde planeten
The price of saving the planet
Vi spurgte til hans holdning om det bidrag, erhvervslivet kan yde, og hvorvidt Europa kommer til at betale en pris for at afværge klimaforandringerne.
We then asked his opinion about the contribution that business can make and whether Europe will have paid a price to avert climate change.
Florenz: Indenfor visse områder vil klimaforandringerne naturligvis koste penge.
K-HF: In some particular areas, climate change will of course cost money.
Men opvarmning er et eksempel på en win-win situation.
But for example when it comes to heating, we have a clear win-win situation.
En tredjedel af vores CO2-udledning stammer fra private huse.
One third of our CO2 emissions come from our homes.
Jeg kigger ikke bare på de store skorstene men på alle de små hjem.
I don’t just want to look at one single big smokestack but all small homes.
På min egen gård har jeg med lokal ekspertbistand været i stand til at spare 72 tons CO2 om året.
At home, on my small farm, I have sought local expert advice and was thus able to save 72 tons CO2 per year.
Det fine er, at de investerede penge bliver i landet til forskel fra de penge, vi bruger på fyringsolie.
And the good thing is that the invested money stays in the region, unlike the money we spent on the oil for heating.
Vi skal se det som en mulighed.
We have to see this as an opportunity.
I Tyskland produceres der en meget tynd folie.
In my region, for example, they produce a foil that is very thin, 0.3 millimetres, it’s hardly visible, but if you stick it on windows, it prevents the heat of the sun from entering.
Den er 0,3 mm tyk og knapt nok synlig, men hvis man klæber den på vinduesglas, forhindrer den solens varme i at trænge ind. I varme lande kan det være en hjælp til at undgå energiforbrugende aircondition.
In Southern countries, this could help to do away with consuming air conditioning.
Det er innovation.
That is innovation.
Vi står på tærsklen til en industriel revolution.
We are on the verge of an industrial revolution.
Der kan fx opstilles små vindmøller ved hver ejendom.
For example, there might be small scale wind turbines for every family home.
Det er den slags ting, vi skal fremme.
These are the kind of things we need to promote.
