Den hviderussiske oppositionsleder Aleksandr Milinkevitj modtog tirsdag Europa-Parlamentets Sakharovpris for tankefrihed 2006.
Leader of the Belarusian Opposition Aliaksandr Milinkevich received the 2006 Sakharov Prize from European Parliament President Borrell.
Milinkevitj blev modtaget med stående bifald, og takkede Parlamentet for prisen og dedikerede den til alle dem, der kæmper for friheden i Belarus.
Each year, the Parliament awards the Sakharov prize to exceptional people or organisations fighting against oppression, intolerance and injustice.
Aleksandr Milinkevitj blev ved et højtideligt møde i Europa-Parlamentet kåret som årets Sakharovprismodtager i sin egenskab af leder en fredelig modstand mod styret i Belarus og for sin kamp for menneskerettigheder, demokrati og retsstatsprincippet.
The aim is to help them in their efforts to protect human rights, democracy and the rule of law around the world.
Formand for Europa-Parlamentet, Josep Borrell, sagde i sin tale, at Milikevitj var blevet et sandt "symbol på kampen mod undertrykkelse og for håbet for en demokratisk fremtid."
Mr Milinkevich gave the €50 000 that comes with the prize to the human rights NGO - the Norwegian Helsinki Committee.
"I Europa tager vi ofte menneskerettigheder for givet, og vi finder vores tankefrihed, vores ytringsfrihed, og vores religionsfrihed helt naturlige.
President Josep Borrell said: "In Europe we very often take human rights for granted and enjoy our freedoms to think, to speak and to believe as something indisputable and natural.
Men der er stadig alt for mange mennesker i verden, som er frataget deres fundamentale ret til at leve i frihed.
However, still too many people around the globe are deprived of their fundamental right to live in freedom.
Det kan være svært at tro, men 10 millioner mennesker, som lever på vores eget kontinent, i Europa, i Belarus er nægtet demokrati.
It may be difficult to believe, but democracy is denied to ten million people who live on our own continent, in Europe, in Belarus.
Som europæere har vi en særlig forpligtelse til at forsvare og fremme menneskerettigheder i verden, derfor skal vi aldrig acceptere krænkelse af den menneskelige værdighed og undertrykkelse af demokratiske værdier på vores egen jord eller andre steder.
As Europeans, we have a special duty to defend and promote human rights in the world; therefore we should never tolerate the breach of human dignity and suppression of democratic values on our own soil and beyond.
"Denne pris er til alle som fortsætter kampen.
There is no doubt that the future of Belarus lies with Europe.
Vi er mange!
Our 2006 Prize winner is a scientist like Andrei Sakharov.
Milinkevitj brugte også Andrei Sakharovs egne ord til at beskrive situationen i Belarus.
The Sakharov prize is therefore given this year to the HOPE for a democratic Belarus and to every person that has the courage not only to dream of freedom but to turn this dream into reality."
"Andrei Sakharov sagde: ''Tankefrihed er det eneste værn mod kollektive myter, der i hænderne på perfide hyklere og demagoger kan forvandles til et blodigt diktatur".
President Josep Borrell then awarded the certificate for the 2006 Sakharov Prize to Aliaksandr Milinkevich.
Det er det, som sker i Belarus," sagde Milinkevitj, og understregede behovet for en europæisk demokratifond, der kan arbejde i diktaturlande.
Belarus had always been a European country, he said, and had been the first in Europe to have the prototype of a democratic constitution in the sixteenth century Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
Lidt baggrund om Milinkevitj
The prisons had never been as full as during that week in March.
Det officielle resultat gav Milinkevitj 6 % af stemmerne, mod 83 % til den siddende præsident Aleksandr Lukasjenko, der har siddet ved magten siden 1994.
It could also, he said have been a prize for opposition figures such as Hienadz Karpienka, Yury Zakharanka or Viktar Hantchar, “But they have vanished without trace and we believe they have been murdered.
I april 2006 sad Milinkevitj fængslet i 15 dage for at have deltaget i et "ulovligt møde".
Andrei Sakharov had always called for non-violent resistance, said Mr Milinkevich.
Milinkevitj har endvidere været viceborgmester i Hrodna.
“I want to use this opportunity to say, in particular to the people of Belarus, that these are lies.
I 2001 var han kampagneleder for Siamion Domaš, som var en af de oppositionsledere, der stillede op til præsidentvalget 2001 i Hviderusland.
Mr Milinkevich said that Moscow's conditions for its political and economic support to Lukashenko were that Belarus adopt a single currency with Russia – in effect, the Russian ruble – and that it ratify a “State Union” treaty.
Hviderusland omtales ofte som Europas sidste diktatur.
These would both cause the loss of Belarus's sovereignty.
Internationale menneskerettigheds- og medieorganisationer har stærkt kritiseret, at grundlæggende rettigheder som ytrings-, forenings- og forsamlingsfrihed ikke respekteres.
So far, the Lukashenko regime had resisted this approach: “they know perfectly well that with the loss of independence and the arrival of Russian capital in Belarus, few of them would keep their posts and their wealth.”
En valgobservatør-delegation fra Europa-Parlamentet blev nægtet indrejse i landet.
The present leader of Belarus could never again win a genuinely free election.”
Ifølge OSCE (Organisationen for sikkerhed og samarbejde i Europa) levede valget ikke op til demokratiske standarder, og var ikke frit og retfærdigt.
He urged Europe to let Belarusians know that, contrary to their state's propaganda, Europe was leaving its doors open for a free and democratic Belarus.
Europa-Parlamentet efterlyste i en beslutning et "nyt, demokratisk valg snarest muligt" og " sanktioner, der vil ramme undertrykkerne hårdt uden samtidig at forvolde Belarus' borgere yderligere lidelser".
He urged the EU to go beyond its existing support for democratic development, which was only effective in countries actually trying to establish democracies.
Aleksandr Milinkevitj har ud over sit besøg i forbindelse med prisen besøgt Europa-Parlamentet to gange i 2006, henholdsvis før og efter præsidentvalget.
There needed to be support also for countries under dictatorships, support for free media, civil society and repressed individuals.

Sakharov-Prisen for tankefrihed er siden 1988 blevet uddelt hvert år af Europa-Parlamentet.
My country is not the same as it used to be – it is less frightened, and it believes in change.

Parlamentet vedtager regler for TV-reklamer og produktplacering
MEPs set new rules on TV commercials and product placement
Reklamer skal være tilladt hver halve time i film og forskellige andre typer programmer i fjernsynet.
The European Parliament backed a proposed overhaul of the advertising rules for TV channels in Europe, including a new approach to product placement.
Til gengæld skal produktplacering kun være tilladt i begrænset omfang.
In widening the scope of the so-called Television without Frontiers Directive to all Audiovisual Media Services, MEPs also voted to include new means of broadcasting.
Det vedtog Europa-Parlamentet onsdag i førstebehandlingen af de nye europæiske regler for bl.a. reklamer og produktplacering i audiovisuelle medier.
Parliament agreed to allow breaks for commercials in movies and some other TV programmes every 30 minutes.
De er dog tale om minimumsregler, som landene selv kan gøre strammere.
Product placement should be soon legal all across Europe but subject to common EU wide limits.
De nye regler, som Parlamentet stemte om, fastlægger retningslinjer i forhold til annoncering i de europæiske tv-stationer i Europa.
By adopting the first reading co-decision report, Parliament also endorsed mechanisms to allow all Member States to adopt stricter, but duly justified rules and to enable them to fight abuses by audiovisual media service providers based in other EU countries.
Kommissionens forslag til det nye direktiv for audiovisuelle medie-tjenester har til formål at sikre lige konkurrencevilkår for de europæiske virksomheder og tjenester inden for informationsteknologi og medier.
The Commission's proposal is intended to create a level playing field for public and private broadcasters and independent producers.
Under det ligger dog også et ønske om at tilpasse reglerne til den nye teknologi, da det tidligere direktiv f.eks. ikke dækkede digitalt tv.
It also aims to widen the scope of the rules to include new media.
Der vil også blive skelnet mellem to forskellige typer audiovisuelle tjenester.
Strict limits on product placement
På den enes side de tjenester, der ligner traditionelle tv-stationer med fastlagte programmer og sendetidspunkter og på den anden side tjenester, som f.eks. podcast, internetdownloads, eller pay per view tv, hvor man som seer eller lytter selv bestemmer, hvornår man vil bruge et program.
In one of the most controversial areas of the directive, Parliament backed a new amendment brokered by Ruth Hieronymi (EPP-ED, DE) which would see product placement allowed in a limited range of programmes, and then only under strict rules.
Parlamentet ønsker f.eks. produktplacering forbudt i nyheds- og aktualitetsprogrammer, i børneprogrammer, i dokumentarprogrammer og i rådgivningsprogrammer.
Member States could still permit it "in cinematographic works, films and series made for television and sports broadcasts", as well as in cases of "production props where no payment is made but certain goods or services are merely provided for free of charge with a view to their inclusion in a programme."
Medlemslandene kan stadig tillade det i biograffilm , tv-film og tv-serier og sportstransmissioner samt i de tilfælde, hvor der er tale om 'produktionshjælp', altså at varen eller tjenesten stilles gratis til rådighed.
Even where they are allowed, however, the content and the scheduling programmes that feature product placement should, say MEPs, never affect "the responsibility and editorial independence" of the broadcaster; nor should they "directly encourage the purchase or rental of goods or services" or give "undue prominence to the product in question".
I de tilfælde hvor produktplacering er tilladt, er der visse restriktioner.
In cases of production props the viewer should be informed of the use of any such aid "by appropriate means".
Endelig skal seerne gøres klart opmærksom på, hvis der finder produktplacering sted.
On this amendment, 324 MEPs voted in favour and 323 against.
Det skal gøres inden programmets start og med et signal hvert 20 minut under udsendelsen, så seerne ikke er i tvivl om, at der finder produktplacering sted.
MEPs also ask the Member States and the Commission to "encourage audiovisual service provider to develop a code of conduct regarding children's programming containing or being interrupted by advertising, sponsorship or any marketing of unhealthy and inappropriate foods and drinks such as those high in fat, sugar and salt and of alcoholic beverages".
Nye regler for reklameblokkene
Derogations from the country of origin principle
Parlamentet vedtog desuden at ændre Kommissionens forslag i forhold til, hvor tit visse udsendelser må afbrydes af reklamer.
In an attempt to prevent any further abuse or fraudulent conduct, MEPs also clarified a set of criteria when a Member State may adopt appropriate measures against the media service provider based in another EU country.
Reklamespot og teleshopping spot må heller ikke udgøre mere end 12 minutter pr. sendetime.
If it says no, "the Member State in question shall refrain from taking the proposed measures".

Budgettet for 2007 vedtaget
MEPs adopt EU budget for 2007 at €126.5bn for 27 Member States
Efter afstemningen i dag bliver forpligtelsesbevillingerne for næste år på 126,5 milliarder euro, betalingerne på 115,5 milliarder euro, hvilket svarer til 0,99 % af EU's BNI.
Following the vote, commitments appropriations for next year are set at €126.5bn, payments at €115.5bn, equalling 0.99 % of GNI.
Det er en stigning på 3,2 procent i forhold til betalingerne for 2006.
It represents an increase of 3.2% over 2006 levels in payments.
Budgettet for 2007 er det første budget, der dækker 27 medlemslande efter udvidelsen med Bulgarien og Rumænien den 1. januar 2007.
The 2007 budget is the first one to deal with an Union of 27 member states, following the accession of Bulgaria and Romania on 1 January of next year.
Det lykkedes Parlamentet fastholde sin modstand mod de nedskæringer af stillinger i Kommissionen, som det finske formandskab havde foreslået, ligesom det lykkedes Parlamentet at få Rådets ord for, at parlamentet skulle informeres rettidigt om alle aktioner under den fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik.
In the end, Parliament opposed the job cuts proposed by the Finnish Presidency and managed to get a pledge from Council to be timely and adequately informed on all CFSP actions.
Dagens afstemning viste en bemærkelsesværdig overensstemmelse mellem de politiske grupper, da hele delen om Kommissionen blev stemt igennem med et tryk på stemmeknapperne.
In a remarkable sign of coherence between the political groups, the vote on the whole Section III - Commission was taken "en bloc" in one go.
Nu er det vores opgave at bringe princippet om valuta for pengene endnu videre ved at oprette en mekanisme, der årligt skal evaluere effektiviteten af særlige programmer.
Now, our task consists of taking the value for money approach further by establishing a mechanism for an annual evaluation of performance of specific programmes.
Jeg er meget tilfreds med, at Kommissionen støtter denne tilgang," sagde James Elles.
I warmly welcome that the Commission supports this approach."
Hovedparten af 2007-budgettet går dermed til at sikre vækst og solidaritet i EU, " sagde hun under debatten tirsdag.
Heading 1a and 1b, "Sustainable growth"
Hun beklagede, at Parlamentet endnu ikke har fået en forklaring fra Rådet og Kommissionen, der gør det muligt at fjerne reserven på bevillingen til udvikling af landdistrikter, og understregede, at den frivillige modulation af landbrugsstøtten ikke må gribe ind i Parlamentets budgetmæssige beføjelser.
Parliament sees Lisbon Agenda lines as pivotal for the EU ; reaffirming its Annual Political Strategy views, the EP has spread a number of payment increases on lines dealing with research and innovation which aim at boosting European competitiveness, while regretting that Council had cut them in the first place.
Den største sektion er 'Kommissionen', som James Elles er ordfører på.
Galileo is also seen as a key programme by the EP and its relative under-funding has been compensated by the increase of €3m taking the total to €100m for 2007 in both commitments and payments.
Det er en post, som er delt op i de nedenstående temaer:
On the structural funds front, Parliament adopted a series of increases for payments appropriations which are smaller than initially envisaged at first reading (like for instance the ESF - convergence).
Parlamentet er utilfreds med Rådets generelle nedskæringerne i landbrugsstøtten, da 2007 vil være det første år, hvor den seneste reform af landbrugspolitikken gennemføres fuldt ud.
Parliament is unhappy with the cuts across the board applied by Council for farm spending as the Common Agricultural Policy sees the application of new implementation rules in 2007.
Unionsborgerskab, frihed, sikkerhed og retfærdighed
Heading 3, "Justice and Home Affairs"
Parlamentet insisterede derfor på at øge bevillingerne til grænse agenturet FRONTEX til 170 millioner euro for at sikre overvågning af EU's ydre grænser.
Parliament restored its increase for the External Borders Fund to €170m to allow EU surveillance missions.
EU som global partner
An agreement was achieved on the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP).
I forhold til den fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik bekræftede Parlamentet med afstemningen sin tilslutning til den aftale der var indgået, som gav 159,2 millioner euro til området (som Kommissionen oprindeligt havde foreslået) og som forpligtede Rådet til at komme med rettidige og præcise informationer til Parlamentet om planlagte aktioner inden for den fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik.
While the Budget Committee agreed to grant the amount of € 159.2 million to the CFSP (initially set at this level by the Commission in its Pre-Draft Budget), Council committed itself providing European lawmakers with timely and forward looking information on planned individual CFSP actions and decisions.
Den kommende mission i Kosovo er et af eksemplerne på, hvor Parlamentet ønsker at blive informeret.
The up-coming mission in Kosovo is one example where the EP urges council to be informed.
Parlamentet gik imod Rådets idé om at skære ned på antallet af stillinger i Europa-kommissionen.
Parliament defeated Council's approach to cut the staff of the European Commission.
Dog forlangte medlemmerne, at der skal foretage en screening, som skal give en midtvejsevaluering af Kommissionens behov for personale.
Nevertheless, the members insisted that a substantive screening exercise providing a mid-term evaluation of the Commission's staff needs is carried out.
De resterende EU-institutioners budget blev behandlet i en betænkning af ordføreren Louis GRECH (PSE, MT), som blandt andet omhandler Parlamentets budget for næste år.
The so-called "other institutions", for which Mr Louis Grech (PES, MT) is the rapporteur, deal among others with Parliament's budget for next year.
Forberedelserne af Budgettet 2008 starter den 24. januar 2007 i Bruxelles, hvor udvalget vil have en første debat om retningslinjerne for det kommende år.
Preparation of the 2008 Budget will start on 24 January 2007 in Brussels, for a first exchange of views on the guidelines for the following year.
Mindre forurenende biler - nye EU-standarder
Cutting car emissions: Euro 5 standards
Fremtidens biler skal forurene mindre.
The new standards (known as Euro 5) will apply from 1 September 2009.
Som en del af den overordnede strategi for renere luft har Kommissionen inden for programmet 'Ren luft i Europa' fastsat en række normer, der skal formindske udledningen af partikler fra biler.
They called for the new Euro 5 standard to apply from 1 September 2009 for private cars (M1).
Mange af de partikler, bilerne udstøder, er meget farlige - enten direkte, når man indånder dem, eller når de via fotokemiske processer skaber mere ozon i luften.
Vehicles with a maximum laden weight of more than 2,500 kg and designed to meet specific social needs - to take wheelchairs or to seat seven or more people - and light commercial vehicles (N1) will have until 1 September 2010 to comply. - The transition period for "vehicles designed for specific social needs" (ambulances, transport for disabled persons etc.) is until 2012.
Ozon og partikler i luften er medvirkende til forøget sygelighed og for tidlige dødsfald.
Following transition periods extending up to 1 January 2011 (M1) and 1 January 2012 (N1) respectively, national authorities must refuse to grant EC or national type approval to new vehicles which do not comply with the rules on emissions or fuel consumption.
Det første sæt Euro-normer for motorkøretøjer trådte i kraft i 1993, og siden da er normerne blevet skærpet i flere omgange, nu med femte opdatering Euro 5 på trapperne.
In addition, MEPs are already urging that starting dates be set for the next stage, i.e. Euro 6 standards, something not envisaged in the Commission text.
Parlamentet vedtog onsdag, at de nye grænseværdier, de såkaldte Euro 5, skal gælde fra 1. september 2009 for private biler.
They suggest 1 September 2014 for private cars (M1) and 1 September 2015 for light commercial vehicles (N1).
Parlamentet beklager, at Kommissionens forslag ikke er mere ambitiøst og foreslår at gå et skridt videre ved at indføre næste generation af grænseværdier (Euro 6), så de kan træde i kraft fra 1. september 2014.
MEPs agreed a compromise stating that manufacturers must give independent operators access to information equivalent to that available to their authorised dealers and repair shops by means of databases.
Parlamentet ønsker også at stramme grænseværdierne i forhold til nitrogenoxid (NoX), som er med til at skabe syreregn og ozon ved jordoverfladen, hvilket kan være livsfarligt for mennesker, da det skaber luftvejsgener.
And to promote competition, MEPs say manufacturers should make training manuals available to independent repairers.
Ingen udvidelse uden reformer
European Parliament says EU must reform before enlarging further
Der skal interne reformer til, før EU kan udvides yderligere.
Parliament says the European Union needs to develop its institutional, financial and policy structure before any further enlargement can take place.
Det var der bred enighed om blandt MEP'erne, da der onsdag var debat og afstemning om to betænkninger om EU's fremtidige udvidelser.
This comes in a report on the institutional reforms required to improve the EU's capacity to integrate new Member States.
Debatten kom også til at dreje sig meget om optagelsesforhandlingerne med Tyrkiet, som vil være på dagsordenen, når stats- og regeringslederne skal mødes til topmøde torsdag.
MEPs stress that the "integration capacity" should not be seen as a new criterion for candidate countries, since it is up to the EU to improve its ability to accept new countries and deepen its integration process.
Parlamentet vedtog onsdag to betænkninger om udvidelsen.
MEPs also say that all past enlargements have "tended to strengthen the Union, foster its economic growth, reinforce its role in the world and stimulate the development of new EU policies."
Den ene betænkning af Elmar BROK, (PPE-DE, DE) fra Udenrigsudvalget, forholder sig til EU's udvidelsesstrategi og behandler hovedsagelig EU-udvidelsen med Tyrkiet, Kroatien og landene på Vestbalkan.
As far as the reforms are concerned, MEPs' proposals include: the adoption of a new qualified majority voting system at the Council to simplify decision making; a clear definition of the EU's values, objectives and competences; more transparency in Council's operations; increased powers of scrutiny for national parliaments and the adoption of a clause setting out how Member States could leave the EU.
Udvidelsesstrategi og interne reformer
Enlargement: Turkey, Croatia and the Western Balkans
I betænkningen af Elmar Brok, som blev vedtaget med 481 stemmer for, 66 imod og 38 der undlod, understreger Parlamentet, at der ved fremtidige udvidelser af EU skal ses mere på kandidatlandenes indsats, end der er gjort tidligere.
The European Parliament adopted a resolution by 481 votes in favour to 66 against with 38 abstentions on candidate countries and possible future candidates, notably Turkey, Croatia and the Western Balkans.
Det fasstslås også, at der under alle omstændigheder skal der ændres på traktaterne.
Future enlargements of the European Union should take more account of the performance of candidate countries than they did in the past and will, in any event, require changes in the EU Treaty, Parliament said.
Nice-traktaten er langt fra god nok efter udvidelserne med Bulgarien og Rumænien.
A date for final accession should not be given too soon and accession negotiations should follow a timetable based on "effective compliance" with the political criteria.
I forhold til landene på Vestbalkan skal de klare udsigter til EU-medlemskab fastholdes for at styrke stabiliteten og sikkerheden i regionen.
They want the necessary treaty reforms to be ready before the next European elections "so as to avoid a delay in current accession negotiations", notably in those with Croatia.
Parlamentet minder disse lande om, at de hver især vil blive vurderet på baggrund af deres egne forhold, og at disse vil være afgørende for tempoet for deres integration i EU.
The EU governments stated in September 2005 that implementation of the protocol would be evaluated in 2006 and that failure to implement it would "affect the overall progress in the negotiations".
