Hun bruger de to eksempler til at illustrere, hvor forskellige udgangspunkter de 27 EU-lande har i forhold til at skulle nå EU’s overordnede mål om, at 20 % af energien i 2020 skal komme fra vedvarende energikilder.
Speaking of international trade, Commissioner Kuneva told MEPs that "from factory floor to supermarket shelf often spans the globe".
”Jeg har i min betænkning lagt vægt på, at alle landene skal være med.
A report in October is due to assess the Chinese response to the safety issues raised.
Selvfølgelig skal de stærkeste skuldre bære de tungeste byrder, men man kan ikke bare sige, at så er det Danmark og Spanien som har vindmøller stående, der skal klare det meste.
Günter Verheugen - Commissioner for Industry will take part in the debate.
Vi skal have en politik for alle lande,” udstreger Britta Thomsen.
The House will vote on a resolution on this topic.
Hun mener også at de penge, som EU giver ud i form af strukturfonde og samhørighedsfonde skal bruges på at sikre vedvarende energi.
Some of the toys affected by the safety fears are some of Mattel's biggest sellers including Batman toys and Sesame Street's "Big Bird" and "Elmo" characters.
”Det nytter ikke noget, at vi bruger den samme mængde energi, for så skal vi bare producere endnu mere vedvarende energi,” siger Britta Thomsen.
British MEP Arlene McCarthy who chairs the Internal Market Committee asked fellow MEPs and the Commissioner: "Can we reassure parents by saying that their children will receive safer toys in time for Christmas?"
”Alt det vi har lært i Danmark de sidste 30-40 år, om hvordan vi sparer på energien, skal de andre også lære,” siger Britta Thomsen og understreger, at vi i Danmark også skal passe på med den forurening, der kommer fra de kulfyrede værker.
Ms McCarthy reminded fellow Members that she had previously called for "tougher controls to intercept dangerous goods at the border and stronger national inspection and enforcement to ensure dangerous toys don't reach the shelves".
Skuffende udspil fra Kommissionen
Rapid Alert system
EU-Kommissionen præsenterede onsdag den 19. september deres energi-udspil.
RAPEX is an EU-wide rapid alert system for non-food dangerous products, coordinated by the Commission and linking market surveillance authorities in 30 European countries.
Britta Thomsen fandt udspillet skuffende, og mener ikke, at Kommissionen går vidt nok i forhold til at sikre adskillelse af mellem de virksomheder, der producerer energien og dem, der administrerer forsyningsnettene.
When authorities take restrictive measures (ban on sale, withdrawal from the market, recall from consumers, ...) concerning a product posing a serious risk for the health and safety of consumers, they must notify the Commission which validates the notifications, translates it and distributes it to the authorities in all other Member States – there is then a formal obligation on Member State Authorities to take follow up measures on their national markets and to inform the Commission.
Britta Thomsen mener, at dette er med til at styrke de store monopoler i Tyskland og Frankrig, og at det vil give mindre plads til konkurrence, der kunne komme forbrugerne til gavn.
According to the latest issue of the RAPEX report (RAPEX is the European Commission's Rapid Alert System for dangerous consumer products), in 2006 most notifications concerned the following categories of products, which accounted for almost 75 % of all notified products
De store monopoler vil også ifølge Britta Thomsen levne mindre plads til den vedvarende energi.
1. toys (221 notifications, 24%),
I sin betænkning understreger hun netop, at satsningen på vedvarende energikilder som vind og solenergi forudsætter et marked, som ikke domineres af de gamle energigiganter.
2. electrical appliances (174 notifications, 19%),

Knapt så sødt som i gamle dage
Immigration: legal migration and the fight against illegal migration
Importen af sukker fra tredjelande som Brasilien og Australien fritages for EU-told fra 2010.
The Council and Commission will make statements on immigration, in particular on the events during the summer and the role of Frontex as part of a joint debate.
Formålet var at sikre et bæredygtigt niveau gennem indførelsen af en frivillig omstruktureringsordning indtil 2010 samt en tilbagetrækningsordning, der gør det muligt år for år at tilpasse produktionsniveauet.
It was created as a specialised and independent body tasked to coordinate the operational cooperation between Member States in the field of border security.
På nuværende tidspunkt ligger EU-produktionen på omkring 16.6 mio. ton, hvilket udgør et fald på omkring 25 % i forhold til 2005/2006.
The activities of Frontex are intelligence driven.
Imidlertid ser det ud til, at det stadig ikke er nok til at sikre ligevægt på markedet.
Frontex complements and provides particular added value to the national border management systems of the Member States.
Derfor foreslår Kommissionen nu at styrke omstruktureringen og tilpasse tilbagetrækningsmekanismen for at sikre ligevægten på markedet med et niveau tæt på referenceprisen.
According to Eurostat the number of third-country nationals legally resident in the 27 EU Member States is approximately 18.5 million (whilst nearly 9 million EU citizens are resident in a Member State other than their own.
For så vidt angår omstruktureringsordningen (forordning (EF) nr. 320/2006) foreslås det bl.a., at avlerne og maskinstationerne skal have 10 % af omstruktureringsstøtten, hvorved den usikkerhed, som skyldes, at medlemsstaterne nu har mulighed for at beslutte at fastsætte en højere procentdel, bortvejres.
The report supports the intention of the Commission to define the conditions of entry and stay for other selected categories of economic immigrants, including unskilled or low-skilled workers.
Samtidig skal avlerne have en ekstrabetaling
No brain drain but 'brain circulation'
Udvalget fremsætter dog en række ændringsforslag, primært med det formål at forbedre kompensationen til producenterne og de berørte regioner.
The report also supports the creation of an EU work permit (the so-called blue card) to facilitate the free movement of 'brains' within Europe and the transfer of personnel within multinational companies.
De, der allerede har ansøgt om at give afkald på kvoter, skal have mulighed for at søge igen om yderligere afgivelse af kvoter senest den 30. april 2008.
Policy priorities in the fight against illegal immigration of third-country nationals
Samtidig foreslås det at forøge omstruktureringsstøtten fra 218,75 euro til 625 euro pr. ton afgivet kvote for 2008/09.
Javier MORENO SÁNCHEZ (PES, ES) will be presenting a second own initiative report on policy priorities in the fight against illegal immigration.
Udvalget tilføjer, at avlerne skal inddrages i omstruktureringsprocesserne, og de skal være gjort bekendt med den fremtidige situation før såningen.
The report stresses that irregular migrants must not be treated like criminals and recalls that many of them risk their lives seeking freedom or the means of subsistence in Europe.
Det sker med den begrundelse, at sukkerkvoteordningen er indført for at give sukkerroeavlerne garanti for beskæftigelse og indkomst.
The committee reiterates its firm opposition to the idea of setting up reception or holding centres for illegal immigrants or asylum seekers outside the Union's borders and in immigrants' regions of origin.
Det bevirker, at han må opgive det særlige landbrugsmateriel og må omlægge sukkerroebedriften.
The report deeply regrets the fact that some Member States have failed to honour their undertakings to provide logistic and human support for its operations.
Endvidere ønsker udvalget, at fastholde den samlede støtte til genopretningsforanstaltninger i de berørte regioner på 109,50 euro pr. ton afgivet sukkerkvote frem til 2010 i stedet for en gradvis reduktion til 78,00 euro som foreslået af Kommissionen.
The committee also considers that, in the face of the migratory flow from the African continent towards Europe, Southern Member States on the external frontiers of the Union, notably smaller Member States, such as Malta and Cyprus, are currently shouldered with a disproportionate burden which calls for the strengthening of measures for the joint management of the Union’s external borders.
Derefter ønsker udvalget at følge Kommissionens forslag.
MEPs will debate secret detentions and unlawful inter-state transfers involving Council of Europe member states.
Efter udvalgets mening bør der dog ses bort fra kvoteafkald for 2006/08 og 2007/08, da de allerede nyder godt af den tilbagevirkende forhøjelse af strukturstøtten.
These statements follow on from the European Parliament report into the transportation and illegal detention of prisoners adopted in February 2007 and the report by Dick Marty for the Council of Europe.
Udvalget har konstateret, at visse medlemsstater har forsøgt at lægge hindringer i vejen for de virksomheder, der havde erklæret sig villige til at deltage i omstruktureringsordningen.
Parliament's report drafted by Claudio FAVA (PES, IT), deplored the passivity of some Member States in the face of illegal CIA operations, as well as the lack of co-operation from the EU Council of Ministers, was approved by 382 votes in favour to 256 against and 74 abstentions.
Derfor går det ind for nogle mindre ændringer for at sikre, at dette ikke gentager sig.
The European Parliament adopted a report on the same subject in February, and most MEPs at the latest hearing welcomed the similar conclusions reached by both institutions.
Forlængelse af ordning frem til 2015
Others, however, took issue with Mr Marty's refusal to reveal his sources.
Da initiativet "Alt undtagen våben" vil blive anvendt og træde i kraft fuldt ud fra 2010 (hvilket gør det muligt for tredjelande at eksportere sukker toldfrit til EU), ønsker udvalget at udvide anvendelsen af ordningen med forebyggende tilbagetrækning frem til 2015.
Presenting his report to a joint meeting of the Committees on Civil Liberties and Foreign Affairs and the Sub-committee on Human Rights, Mr Marty said that the US government has clearly stated that it has fully respected the sovereignty of European countries during its activities in the "war on terror", and that kidnappings in Europe would not have been possible without the participation of the national intelligence services concerned.
Efter udvalgets mening vil det give EU mulighed for fortsat at kunne håndtere ustabilitet på markedet og prisudsving.
He said there was a "wall of silence that confronts us from almost all national governments" and that this silence "continues to mask serious human rights violations."

På vej mod Det Europæiske Teknologiske Institut
Industry Committee backs creation of a European Institute of Innovation and Technology
Industriudvalget bakker op om Kommissionens forslag til at oprette et europæisk teknologisk institut, men ønsker at der skal være en prøveperiode først.
A proposal to set up a European Institute of Technology (EIT) is backed in a first-reading report by the Industry Committee.
I betænkning af Reino Paasilinna (PSE, FI) bakker MEP’erne op om Kommissionens forslag, men ønsker at omdøbe instituttet til Det Europæiske Institut for innovation og Teknologi, og ønsker en ‘pilot-fase’ før etableringen af instituttet, hvor man kan teste to eller tre af disse grupperinger og se, og det er noget der kan betale sig.
The Council has already expressed its wish to establish the EIT but before we can adopt the proposal in plenary, we have to make sure that there is a stable financing concept", Mr Paasilinna added.
Et netværk af universiteter, forskningsorganisationer og erhvervsliv
The institute's overall budget of an estimated €2.4 billion for the first six years is to be funded from a combination of private and public sources.
Det europæiske teknologiinstitut vil komme til at bestå af to enheder – en bestyrelse og de forskellige ”videns- og innovationsfællesskaber”.
However the Budgetary authority (Parliament and Council) has yet to agree on a budget line from which to take the funds.
Det er bestyrelsen, der skal udvælge de højere læreanstalter, forskningsinstitutter firmaer og andre interessenter, som skal udgøre disse ”videns- og innovationsfællesskaber”.
As plans for the EIT did not exist when the 2007-2013 Financial Perspective was decided, the Commission proposed taking the necessary amount from the "margin under the ceiling" of the "Competitiveness for growth and jobs" heading, i.e. appropriations that have not been assigned to a given policy.
I modsætning til Kommissionens planer ønsker MEP’erne i Industriudvalget, at disse fællesskaber skal være juridisk selvstændige fra Instituttet.
MEPs in the committee propose further sources, such as unspent funds that would otherwise be returned to the Member States, or loans and contributions from the European Investment Bank (EIB).
Prøvetid med to eller tre grupper
KICs should be legally autonomous from the EIT
Medlemmerne af Industriudvalget ønsker også at introducere en ”pilot-fase” .
The committee proposes to rename the EIT "European institute of Innovation and Technology" so as to reflect its primary focus on innovation.
Senest to år efter forordningen om oprettelse af instituttet træder i kraft, skal bestyrelsen nedsætte to eller tre vidensfællesskaber inden for de områder der skal hjælpe EU med at imødekomme fremtidens udfordringer som f.eks. klimaforandringer, bæredygtig mobilitet, energieffektivitet eller næste generation af informations- og kommunikationsteknologi.
Although KICs will have "substantial overall autonomy to define their internal organisation and working methods", MEPs in the committee also propose to lay down some basic rules for their composition: Every KIC should consist of at least three partner organisations, situated in at least two different participating states and including at least one higher education institution and one private company.
Kvalifikationsbeviser i stedet for akademiske grader
EIT label on qualifications
MEP’erne afviser Kommissionens forslag om, at Teknologiinstituttet skal kunne udstede særlige grader og eksamensbeviser i de områder hvor vidensfælleskaberne udfører studie- og forskningsaktiviteter.
MEPs in the committee reject the Commission's proposal for the EIT itself to award degrees and diplomas.
De ønsker i stedet at det skal være kvalifikationsbeviser, der skal bære instituttets mærke.
Instead they ask for an EIT mark to be added to qualifications awarded through the higher education institutions within the KICs.
Budgetproblemerne skal løses
Pilot phase with two or three KICs
Instituttets overordnede budget på omkring 2,4 mia. Euro for de første seks år skal finansieres gennem en blanding af private og offentlige midler.
Committee members also propose introducing the idea of a "pilot phase" into the text.
Da der ikke var tænkt på instituttet, da de finansielle perspektiver for 2007-2013 blev fastlagt, skal pengene findes ved at rykke rundt på budgetterne.
At the latest two years after the entry into force of the regulation establishing the EIT, the Governing Board would select two or three KICs "in areas that help the EU to face today's and tomorrow's challenges, such as climate change, sustainable mobility, energy efficiency or the next generation of ICT".
Udvalget er enige med Kommissionen i at 308,7 mio. Euro skal komme fra EU-budgettet.
The EIT could select additional KICs after the adoption of its first "Strategic Innovation Agenda" (SIA), a concept also incorporated in the text by the Industry Committee.
Dog skal budgetmyndigheden (Parlamentet og Rådet) stadig nå til enighed om, hvilke budgetlinjer det skal tages fra.
This SIA should identify the EIT's long-term strategic areas "in fields of key potential economic and societal interest which are likely to generate the greatest innovation added value".
Den 19. september kom Kommissionen med et udspil til, hvordan det kunne gøres, som Parlamentet og Rådet vil skulle se nærmere på den kommende tid.
The EIT would have to draw up an SIA by the end of 2011 at the latest and thereafter every seven years.
Industriudvalget understreger dog, at der ikke må bruges penge fra forskningsrammeprogrammet eller fra programmerne for konkurrenceevne og innovation og programmet for livslang læring til at oprette det nye institut eller til at dække administrative omkostninger.
Acting on a proposal from the Commission, Parliament and Council shall then adopt this agenda.

Fokus på indvandring
Constitutional affairs
Indvandring er en strategisk prioritering for EU.
A Commission proposal that would make it easier for EU citizens to stand or vote in European Parliament elections while living in Member States other than their own is being put forward by Andrew DUFF (ALDE, UK) for the Constitutional Affairs Committee.
EU har brug for lovlig indvandring
The committee report aims to "make sure that all Member States respect equal opportunities for all EU citizens", noted Mr Duff.
I øjeblikket opholder der sig hen ved 18,5 millioner tredjelandsstatsborgere som lovlige indvandrere i EU (Kilde: Eurostat).
EU citizenship, which confers certain electoral rights, was established by the Maastricht Treaty of 1993.
Det er knap 4 % af EU's totale befolkning.
Information exchange isn't working
Udvalgets væsentligste krav er, at Europa-Parlamentet skal have medbestemmelse vedrørende spørgsmålet om indrejse- og opholdsbetingelser for lovlige indvandrere.
Two consultative reports are set to provide Parliament's response to the European Commission's plans for speeding up reform of the sugar sector.
Dette spørgsmål er i øjeblikket underkastet bestemmelserne om enstemmighed i Rådet, og Parlamentet har kun høringsret.
The reform launched in 2006, which was meant to restore the balance to the European sugar market by cutting prices and production, has not produced all the desired effects.
Udvalget understreger dog, at medlemsstaterne skal bevare retten til at fastsætte, hvor mange indvandrere, de kan acceptere inden for deres territorium.
The restructuring regime, intended to give financial incentives to the less competitive producers to leave this sector, has only led to the withdrawal of 2.2 million tonnes (Mt) from the market in the first two years.
Skærpet kontrol med indvandring
The target is a reduction of 6 Mt by 2010.
Udvalget bemærker, at medlemsstaterne i vid udstrækning har skærpet kontrollen med den legale indvandring i form af kvoteordninger og/eller pointsystemer.
In May 2007, the Commission unveiled a package of proposals seeking to make this regime more attractive to encourage producers to give up around 3.8 Mt in quotas.
Efter udvalgets mening er det derfor forkert at tale om "ukontrolleret indvandring".
If this goal is not reached in 2010, it wishes to apply a linear reduction to the Member States' quotas.
I den forbindelse fremhæves det, at medierne har et særligt ansvar for at modvirke tendensen til at lade indvandringsdebatten køre af sporet i form af populistiske og demagogiske udtalelser.
The Agriculture Committee, while supporting the Commission's objectives, is proposing a number of amendments designed chiefly to increase the compensation to producers and to the regions.
Bedre forhold for sæsonarbejdere
Optimising the restructuring regime
Sæsonarbejdere yder et væsentligt bidrag til den europæiske økonomi, især inden for sektorer som turisme, landbrug og byggeri.
The committee also stresses the need for undertakings to devise business development plans to diversify revenue and employment.
Derfor ønsker udvalget at forbedre forholdene for de tredjelandsstatsborgere, der opholder sig lovligt i EU som sæsonarbejdere.
MEPs in the committee believe that in this context priority must be given to small-scale growers so that they can renounce on favourable terms the right to transport beet.
Det gælder også for kategorien af lønnede praktikanter, som efter udvalgets mening bør have EU-opholdstilladelser af 6 eller 12 måneders varighed.
The committee also calls for 100% compensation in the case of firms which partially dismantle their production facilities provided they shift towards bioethanol production.
EU skal være attraktivt for højtuddannede
Boosting aid for producers and regions
Udvalget peger på nødvendigheden af at gøre EU attraktivt som mål for de bedst uddannede indvandrere for at nå målsætningerne i Lissabon-strategien.
MEPs in the committee repeat one of the amendments adopted at the time of the 2006 reform (Fruteau report) which called for growers to receive 50% of the aid paid under the restructuring fund.
Det støtter tanken om at forenkle ansøgningsprocessen for opholds- og arbejdstilladelser.
The Commission, in its latest proposal, seeks to set the figure at 10%.
Samtidig støtter det tanken om en såkaldt "blåt kort"-ordning for indvandrere med særlige kvalifikationer (i lighed med den amerikanske "Green Card"-ordning; red.).
They also call for aid for diversification paid to the regions affected by restructuring to be kept at the current level of €109.5 per tonne of quota for sugar renounced up to 2009/10 (the regulation adopted in 2006 provides for this aid to fall to €93.80 in 2008/09 and €78 in 2009/10).
Integration er en tovejs-proces
Linear reduction of quotas in two stages
Udvalget har også overvejet, hvordan man kan fremme integrationen.
If a linear reduction of national quotas is needed in 2010, the Agriculture Committee believes this too should be carried out in two stages.
Det peger på, at integration er en tovejs-proces, som involverer såvel indvandrerne som EU's borgere.
The first stage should concern only Member States or undertakings which, for 2008/09, would not have made a voluntary renunciation or would have renounced less than 13.5% of their quota.
I den forbindelse gælder det efter udvalgets mening om at skære igennem og lette på f.eks. familiesammenføringer, anerkendelse af eksamensbeviser og overførsel af pensionsrettigheder.
In a second stage, the formula proposed by the Commission would be used.
Endelig ønsker udvalget, at der i særlig grad skal tages hensyn til mindreårige.
The Agriculture Committee also proposes taking into account any renunciations made by Member States and undertakings when calculating the final reduction.
EU må handle hurtigt
Withdrawal from the market
I begrundelsen til en initiativbetænkning om illegal indvandring skriver EP-ordføreren, Javier MORENO SÁNCHEZ (PSE, ES), at tusinder af immigranter har mistet livet inden de nåede at få opfyldt drømmen om et bedre liv i EU.
In addition, the committee wants the Commission to take any decision on withdrawals for 2008/09 by 4 February 2008 (instead of 16 March, as in other years) so that beet growers can act accordingly before the sowing season.
Derfor er EU efter hans mening nødt til at handle hurtigt for ikke at miste sin troværdighed og legitimitet.
Parliament will be asked to use the so-called urgent procedure on a report relating to the direct support schemes and support schemes for farmers, as regards set aside for year 2008.
Op til 8 millioner illegale indvandrere i Europa
Neil Parish (EPP-ED, UK, South West Conservative) is the Chair of the EP Agriculture Committee.
