Parlamentet understregede også, at forslagene om flersprogethed ikke bør begrænses til de vigtigste medlemsstatssprog;
But it was also believed that proposals for multilingualism should not be limited to the main official Member State languages.
Parlamentet opfordrer til, at der lægges særlig vægt på fremme af indlæring af sprog hos ugunstigt stillede mennesker eller mennesker, der lever under vanskelige forhold og hos handicappede.
Particular attention should also be given to promote language learning for people in disadvantaged and difficult circumstances and for people with disabilities.
Sprogindlæring skal også være et vigtigt element i programmet for livslang læring.
Language acquisition should be an essential element in the lifelong learning programme.
Desuden var der stor støtte til at forslagene om at udvikle sprogrelaterede erhverv og industrier.
Furthermore, there was large support for the proposals to develop language-related professions and industries.
Han kaldte det et 'indlysende' argument for, der er brug for mere Europa.
"The incident was illuminating", he said, and had rendered the debate about the need for more Europe "superfluous".
Han talte også om udfordringerne ved den kommende udvidelse med Bulgarien og Rumænien. og understregede, at det er på tide at stoppe al snak om 'nye' og 'gamle' medlemsstater.
He then turned to the challenges facing Europe which require shared solutions, notably growth and jobs, climate change, energy security and international terrorism, saying "We can be proud of our response so far to this rapidly changing landscape".
Fra den grønne gruppe var det Pierre JONCKHEER (Verts/ALE, BE), der havde ordet.
Danish MEP Jens-Peter BONDE , for the IND/DEM group, complained about what he saw as undemocratic procedures in the EU.
Brian CROWLEY (UEN, IRL) slog ned på tre punkter i sin tale.
Stephen HUGHES (PES, UK) stated that he found this work programme very disappointing.
Han understregede også i forhold til Kommissionens snak om et mere harmoniseret skattesystem, at beskatning er national kompetence, og at Kommissionen ikke kan gøre noget på skatteområdet.
What is needed, Mr Hughes said, is an EU legislative framework to tackle unfair and exploitative employment and quasi-employment relationship.
Endelig ønskede han at udvide EU's rolle som fredsbevarende enhed i f.eks. Kosovo og Afrika.
All workers in all regions deserve access to decent work to give them and their families the chance of a decent life.
Han kritiserede desuden, at årsprogrammet indeholder en række forslag til gennemførelse af ting, der står i den forkastede forfatning.
He suggested the need for an panel of independent experts – not a new building or agency, but people on whom we can call to help to ensure that the impact assessments are effective.
"De bør lægges på hylden, til forfatningen er afklaret", sagde Bonde.
Eco-innovation is a major component to win the fight against global warming.
"Hvor doven kan man være som folkevalgt?, " spurgte Bonde.
Welcome to the market liberalisation club, Mr Schulz."
I sin replik til MEP'ernes indlæg forsvarede Kommissionsformand Barroso blandt andet den nye rumænske kommissærs portefølje, og understregede at den nye kommissær ikke kun ville beskæftige sig med 'sproglig mangfoldighed' men også med den 'kulturelle mangfoldighed'
Referring to the importance of the Lisbon Agenda and commitment to the multilateral approach in trade policy and support to the WTO, Robert STURDY (EPP-ED, UK) deplored the suspension of the WTO round negotiations and seriously urged the Commission to come forward and fight for a reiteration of the feelings of getting the settlement on the Doha Round in 2007.
Afstemningen vil finde sted under Parlamentets samling i december.

Servicedirektivet i mål med Parlamentets tydelige fingeraftryk
Services Directive reaches final stage - EP position prevails
Servicedirektivet, som skal gøre det lettere at købe og sælge tjenesteydelser på tværs af grænserne i Europa, nåede sin sidste etape, da Europa-Parlamentet i dag i andenbehandlingen vedtog Rådets fælles holdning med kun få ændringer.
The services directive which aims to facilitate the provision of cross-border services by removing obstacles to the free movement of services in the internal market reached its final stage with the European Parliament approving the Council common position with minor changes.
Rådet har nemlig i store træk taget de alle ændringer med, som Parlamentet foreslog i førstebehandlingen, som skulle sikre mere konkurrence uden at skabe social dumping.
The final position adopted by Parliament broadly reflects the Parliament's first reading position achieving a balance between competition and social protection.
På en pressekonference efter afstemningen om servicedirektivet kaldte formanden for Europa-Parlamentet, Josep BORRELL afstemningen for "en stor succes for Parlamentet som lovgiver".
At a press conference after the vote on the services directive, EP President Josep BORRELL hailed the vote as a "big success for Parliament as legislator".
Det var ligeledes en glad Evelyne GEBHARDT (PSE, DE), der som ordfører for Servicedirektivet kunne sætte parlamentets sidste punktum på en lang behandling af en af de vigtigste og politisk mest vanskelige lovtekster i denne valgperiode.
The directive now reflects fairly closely the consensus reached in February this year by the major political groups - at a time when many were predicting the imminent demise of what had originally been known as the "Bolkestein directive".
"Vi kan være stolte af vores arbejde og glade for, at vi har fundet en tekst, der har vundet bred politisk tilslutning.
In fact, the compromise agreed within Parliament paved the way for an agreement between the three institutions.
Det er lykkedes os med denne tekst at bidrage til, at vi har fået sat mennesker i centrum i politikken", sagde hun under debatten.
The Commission supported the Parliament text and the Council accepted it almost unchanged in its common position in July 2006.
Medlemmerne fulgte under afstemningen anbefalingerne fra Evelyne Gebhardt om kun at vedtage tekniske ændringsforslag til teksten.
Parliament's goal was to find a way of opening up the internal market in services to cross-border competition without eroding the European social model.
Et forslag om at afvise den fælles holdning blev forkastet med stort flertal (105 stemmer for, 405 imod, 12 hverken/eller).
The new legislation should make it much easier for service providers to set up shop and conduct business in another Member State.
Parlamentarikernes opbakning til Rådets holdning skyldes, at Rådet i store træk havde taget alle Parlamentets mange ændringer fra førstebehandlingen med.
For example, a company wishing to manage a hotel or leisure centre in another state will no longer have to deal with several different authorities at national, regional and local level but with a single authority through a "one-stop shop" which will deal with all the formalities.
Bl.a., at det skulle være reglerne i det land, hvor man leverer sine serviceydelser, der skal gælde - og ikke reglerne i det land man kommer fra.
For example, it will no longer be possible to require mountain guides to have a fixed residence in the territory of the country where they wish to do the job temporarily.
Direktivet vil gøre det lettere for serviceudbydere at nedsætte sig og at udbyde deres ydelser i en anden medlemsstat, og vil fjerne mange af de barrierer der er nu.
MEPs expanded the list of reasons allowing Member States to restrict the freedom of a service provider from another Member State to provide services on their territory.
Med indførelsen af de såkaldte kvik-skranker vil en virksomhed, som f.eks. ønsker at drive et hotel, kunne nøjes med at ordne det administrative ét sted i stedet for både at skulle være i kontakt med kommunale, regionale og statslige myndigheder.
For example, in general it will no longer be possible to require a service provider to open an office in the country where he/she is temporarily providing a service nor to prevent him/her from setting up "certain infrastructure" in that country.
En af Parlamentets vigtigste ændringer var omkring hvilket lands regler der skal gælde for de mennesker, der leverer service i et andet medlemsland end deres eget.
In addition, Member States must not apply "contractual arrangements between the provider and the recipient which prevent or restrict service provision by the self-employed".
Her er det blevet slået fast, at det er modtagerlandets regler der gælder og at arbejdsretten - herunder de kollektive overenskomster - vil ikke være berørt af direktivet.
Member States will, however, be allowed to extend the deadline for the reply when this is justified by the complexity of the issue and provided that the applicant is duly informed of the extension and the reasons thereof.
De serviceydelser af almen interesse, som ikke har økonomisk karakter (f.eks. folkeskoler og anden offentlig undervisning) er undtaget, lige som de sociale ydelser som det offentlige står for.
These modifications make it clear that the evaluation process should not obstruct the performance of tasks assigned to services of general economic interest.

Sagt under debatten
Debate preceding the vote - Wednesday 15 November 2006
Under debatten i salen forud for afstemningen var der meget delte meninger om, hvor stor en succes direktivet var.
She singled out Malcolm HARBOUR (UK), the shadow rapporteur from the EPP-ED group, for his excellent co-operation.
EU-Kommissær for Indre Marked Charlie MCCREEVY lagde under debatten vægt på den vigtige rolle, Parlamentet har spillet, og var glad for det kompromis, der var opnået: "Servicedirektivet er et vigtigt element i anstrengelserne for at få gang i den europæiske økonomi.
Commissioner Charlie McCREEVY described the adoption of the services directive as "a milestone in the history of the European Parliament" because of the leading role the EP had played in finding a compromise.
Den tekst, vi har her, vil være en reel merværdi for det indre marked, og fjerne barrierer og forbedre lovgivningen for virksomheder og forbrugere," sagde McCreevy.
The result was a piece of legislation which would "cut red tape and provide legal certainty for service providers and consumers".
I forhold til arbejdsretten, som havde bekymret mange MEP'ere, slog Kommissæren fast, at direktivet ikke påvirker arbejdsmarkedets parters rettigheder i landene, og at det er neutralt i forhold til arbejdsmarkedets parters rolle.
The Commissioner then made a formal declaration clarifying a number of points, including the possible need for further harmonisation in future and the impact of the directive on labour law, on criminal law and on social services.
Den finske handels- og industriminister, Mauri PEKKARINEN, som talte på vegne af Rådet slog fast, at der var tale om en milepæl i det Indre Markeds historie."Direktivet markerer ikke en afslutning på udviklingen af det inder marked.
For the Council presidency, Finland's trade and industry minister Mauri PEKKARINEN said "we are making internal market history" and he commended Parliament on its contribution to achieving a "historic compromise".
Det er en milepæl i udviklingen af det indre marked.
Using similar words to Mr McCreevy's, he described it as "a milestone on the road to making the internal market work", the key point being that "it gives market operators legal certainty", although in fact, he stressed, "the directive marks not the end but the beginning of developing the internal market for services".
Det er blevet klart de seneste par år, at traktaterne ikke er nok til at regulere det indre marked," sagde han.
After listening to the Commission, Ms GEBHARDT welcomed the Commission's clarifications.
Evelyne Gebhardt var tilfreds med kommissær McCreevys forsikringer i forhold til arbejdsretten, men udtrykte også lidt bitterhed over, at Rådet i andenbehandlingen ikke havde villet rykke sig ud af stedet.
On this occasion however, Ms Gebhardt said she was willing to accept that Parliament would not table significant amendments in second-reading as the Council had already taken on board around 90 per cent of Parliament's first reading position.
Hannes SWOBODA (PSE, AT) var også tilfreds med, at det var lykkedes at nå et politisk kompromis "Gebhardt har været kaptajn på et skib i strid storm.
Hannes SWOBODA (AT) for the PES group welcomed the broad co-operation in the Parliament and the agreement reached with the EPP-ED group.
Anneli JÄÄTTEENMÄKI (ALDE, FI) lagde vægt på at, det er servicesektoren der kan skabe nye jobs i fremtiden, men påpegede, at den fri bevægelighed for arbejdskraft er mindst lige så vigtig for det indre marked som tjenesteydelsesdirektivet, og mente derfor, at det var vigtigt at landene åbnede deres arbejdsmarkeder for lønmodtagere fra alle lande, således som Sverige, Irland og Storbritannien havde gjort det.
She also stressed the importance of free movement of labour saying that it was equally as important as the new Services Directive, pointing out that only the UK, Ireland and Sweden had fully opened their labour market after the latest enlargement.
Heide RÜHLE (Verts/ALE,DE) udtrykte sin skuffelse over behandlingen af direktivet i Parlamentet og de kompromiser, der er indgået.
For the Greens/EFA, Heide RÜHLE (DE) said certain points of the directive were "not sufficiently clear", such as the definitions of different types of services.
Francis WURTZ (GUE/NGL, FR) kaldte det en 'kapitulationsprocedure', når flertallet i Parlamentet lægger op til at acceptere den fælles holdning uden ændringsforslag i andenbehandlingen.
On behalf of his group, Francis WURTZ (GUE/NGL, FR) described the agreement on the directive as a "capitulation".
Han lagde vægt på, at fagforeningerne havde ændringsforslag på væsentlige områder.
It excluded labour law and left too many "ambiguities and grey areas" which would have to be interpreted by the courts.
"Rådsteksten giver kun andenprioritet til arbejdsretten - det er konkurrenceretten, der får forrang," sagde Wurtz.
Jerzy BIELAN (UEN, PL) took the opposite view, complaining that the directive had not done enough to "do away with red tape".
Adam Jerzy BIELAN (UEN, PL) påpegede, at det vigtigste med direktivet var den måde det vil blive implementeret i medlemslandene.
Jens-Peter BONDE , speaking in the name of the IND/DEM group described the legislation as "a judges' directive" as the rules were "extremely unclear" in their present form.
"Årene vil vise, om det bliver en milesten.
His own political party in Denmark, the June Movement, was in favour of a single market but not in favour of "wage competition downwards on Danish workers".
Det er heldigvis lykkedes at undgå en yderligere udvanding ved at vedtage alle Gebhardts ændringsforslag - jeg mener det vil være spild yderligere at udvande det."
Parliament listened to people's concerns and fears so that the freedom to provide services is not the freedom to undermine consumer or employee rights.
Fra gruppen af løsgængere var det Marine LE PEN (NI, FR), der tog ordet og kaldte direktivet en sejr for de ultraliberale og socialdemokrater.
Verbal assurances given in good faith, however, are not what will be used by judges in the event of court challenge in the future.
"I narrer borgerne!
It is the text of a directive that will be important.
Hun stemmer derfor i mod direktivet.
The Council, he said, must now stop playing games with labour rights in Europe.
Karin Riis-Jørgensen (ALDE, DK) var glad for, at der nu efter mere end 12 års tovtrækkeri kunne sættes punktum for behandlingen af servicedirektivet.
Unless the Council does that, it will continue to preside over citizens who fear for the quality of their working lives and the race to the bottom, and those fears are eating at the heart of Europe."
Hun påpegede dog, at det er et amputeret direktiv, som skaber nogle problemer.
Simon COVENEY (EPP-ED, IE) stated that the process to reach agreement on the Services Directive has not been an easy one.
Hun nævnte som eksempel, at spil blev fjernet fra Servicedirektivet, men at Kommissionen nu er ved at undersøge tipsmonopoler i en række medlemslande.
Most importantly, this Parliament is sending a strong signal today to the Commission and the Council to move forward and make this directive a reality as soon as is practically possible.
Det samme med sundhedsydelser, som blev undtaget, men hvor Kommissionen også arbejder på et udspil.
Some MEPs had voiced concern about the legal certainty provided by the directive, saying that much would have to be clarified by the Court of Justice.
"Konsekvenserne af et udvandet direktiv er, at vi får drypvis lovgivning, i stedet for klare regler, der gælder for alle," sagde Riis-Jørgensen, som dog ville stemme for direktivet.
"The Commission will start now", he said but the Member States, who have three years to transpose it, should also start soon, he said, "because their economies need this directive".

En EU-strategi for Østersøen
Baltic Sea strategy for the Northern Dimension
I en initiativbetænkning af finnen Alexander STUBB (PPE-DE, FIN), der blev vedtaget med stort flertal torsdag (519 stemmer for, 19 imod, 14 undlod), foreslår Parlamentet at gennemføre en strategi for Østersøregionen inden for den nordlige dimension og lægger op til 'Østersøen uden grænser'.
Parliament adopted an own-initiative report on a Baltic Sea strategy for the Northern Dimension.
Begrebet den nordlige dimension blev lanceret af Finland, og udgjorde et af hovedpunkterne under det finske formandskab i sidste halvdel af 1999.
The House aspires, by means of this resolution, to make the most of the opportunities offered by the dynamic economies of the Baltic Sea region and systematically create a brand for the region as one of the most attractive and competitive areas in the world
Den nordlige dimension kunne fortsat betragtes som en prioritet under det danske formandskab i 2002, men den mistede noget af sin betydning under de efterfølgende formandskaber, hvor fokus mere var lagt på Middelhavsområdet end på Norden.
Parliament wants to help to improve the ecological status of the Baltic Sea, which is currently one of the most polluted sea areas in the world; reduce pollution andeutrophication and prevent further releases of oil and other toxic and harmful substances.
Parlamentet slår i betænkningen fast, at den nordlige dimension kan være med til at fremme strategisk regionalt samarbejde og økonomisk vækst i det udvidede område for den nordlige dimension.
The report stresses the need to reduce the region's dependency on Russian energy and encourages the Member States in the region to examine the possibility of a common energy market.
Parlamentet mener derfor, at afskaffelsen af disse store forskelle bør være et af strategiens hovedformål.
The report also. suggests that the Trans-European Network Nordic Triangle be enlarged to cover the whole region and inclusion of the road and railway routes of the Barents Corridor and the Bothnian Corridor within the TEN system.
Samtidig lægger Parlamentet op til at øge integrationen i regionen for at skabe et samlet marked, som er stort nok til at fremme den nødvendige konkurrenceånd.
The House calls for the realisation of the Rail Baltica project which would mean a high-speed train connection linking up the whole region.
Det bliver understreget, at Østersø-strategien både omfatter foranstaltninger, der skal gennemføres af EU og dens medlemsstater, og foranstaltninger, der skal gennemføres i samarbejde med Rusland.
The House notes the status of the Kaliningrad Oblast enclave surrounded by the European Union and calls for genuine cooperation between the regional authorities, the Russian Federation and the European Union.
Parlamentet ønsker desuden, at Østersø-strategien får sin egen EU-budgetpost, eventuelt under Det Europæiske Naboskabs- og Partnerskabsinstrument, der kan supplere den nuværende finansiering af den nordlige dimension.
The report urges the Russian Federation and the European Union to examine the possibility of developing the Kaliningrad Oblast into a more open and less militarised pilot region with improved access to the internal market.
Parlamentet påpeger, at der er stort behov for at beskytte og styrke fiskebestandene i Østersøregionen, og opfordrer i den forbindelse Kommissionen til at forberede en omfattende plan for bevarelse og genoprettelse af den naturlige laksebestand i Østersøens vandsystem.
Parliament stresses the need for full implementation of freedom of navigation in the Baltic Sea, including the Vistula Lagoon and Kaliningradzkij Zaliv, and free passage through the Pilava Strait/Baltijskij Proliv.
Parlamentet foreslår ligeledes at udvide det tværeuropæiske netværk Den Nordiske Trekant til at omfatte hele regionen, og at vej- og jernbanestrækningerne, som indgår i Barents-korridoren og den botniske korridor, indføres i TEN-systemet.
MEPs call on the Russian Federation and the EU to examine the possibilities of practically engaging the Kaliningrad Oblast in NDPHS activities.
I den forbindelse understreger Parlamentet betydningen af EU-finansiering for fuldførelsen af Via Baltica-motorvejen inden 2013 som et prioriteret projekt, der forbinder Østersøregionen med medlemsstaterne i Central- og Vesteuropa.
Parliament stresses that the Kaliningrad Oblast is still an enclave plagued with many social, economic and ecological problems, such as the significant ecological risk posed by the presence of the military bases and weapons in the region, the substantial health risk and the high levels of organised crime and drug addiction.
Fortsat problemer omkring Kaliningrad
Eastern border
Kaliningrad-enklaven skaber stadig problemer i regionen.
MEPs are concerned that the region's Eastern border is serving as a conduit for a significant level of organised crime, with trafficking in humans and drugs giving cause for particular concern.
Det er en russisk enklave, der er tynget af mange sociale og økonomiske problemer samt miljøproblemer, som f.eks. den alvorlige miljørisiko som følge af tilstedeværelsen af militærbaser og våben i regionen, den alvorlige sundhedsrisiko og den omfattende organiserede kriminalitet og stofmisbruget.
The House urges a strengthened Europol involvement and reinforced cooperation at both EU and intergovernmental levels on these issues.
Endelig understreger Parlamentet behovet for at yde en ekstraordinær indsats for at gøre grænsekontrollen ved den østlige grænse mere effektiv, særligt i forhold til at forbedre den eksisterende infrastruktur og fremme af legale grænseovergange.
Parliament stresses the need to redouble efforts to improve the efficiency of border controls on the Eastern border, in particular as regards upgrading the existing infrastructure and promoting legal border crossing, and calls for sufficient funds to be earmarked from the European External Borders Fund.
Parlamentet ønsker mere solid europæisk sikkerheds- og forsvarspolitik
EP calls for a more robust European security and defence policy
Med Karl VON WOGAU (PPE-DE, DE) som ordfører har Parlamentet vedtaget en initiativbetænkning om gennemførelsen af den europæiske sikkerhedsstrategi i forbindelse med den europæiske sikkerheds- og forsvarspolitik (ESFP).
MEPs argue for a more active European Security and Defence Policy, extending the Union's competencies through a common defence market, a civil protection force, as well as a standing naval force in the Mediterranean.
Parlamentet ønsker også, at strategien skal fremlægges til drøftelse i Europa-Parlamentet og i de nationale parlamenter.
MEPs also called for a regular 5-yearly review of the document, including a debate in the EP and national parliaments.
