På hvilken måde blev det maltesiske folk inddraget i forberedelserne til euroen, og hvordan reagerede de i forhold til forandringerne?
How did people react to the change of currency?
Den generelle stemning har været meget positiv og åben i forhold til den nye valuta.
There was a widespread welcome of the new currency.
Det der skete i løbet af de første par dage viste, at folk var ivrige efter at skifte over (til den nye valuta).
The first few days showed that people were quite eager for the changeover.
Ifølge en undersøgelse, er Malta - næstefter Holland - det land, der hurtigst har klaret omstillingsprocessen.
One survey said that Malta is behind only the Netherlands in the speed of the changeover.
Hvad vil du anbefale de lande, der endnu ikke er indtrådt i euroen, men som stadig befinder sig i forberedelsesfasen?
People think we have the nicest euro coins.
Uden forbrugeren har euroen ingen betydning.
They were chosen by the public and are a very sensible choice - the Maltese cross, the temples and our emblem.
Det er ikke den tekniske overgangsfase, som er vigtig.
In the light of Malta's experience, what would you say to people from the EU countries which do not have the euro yet, but are preparing for entry?
Det er forbrugeren, der er kernen.
The key is the consumer, not the technical changeover.
Efter min opfattelse udførte NECC (National Euro Changeover Committee) et flot stykke arbejde.
I think Malta's National Euro Changeover Committee did a very good job.
Jeg var til gengæld skuffet over, at der ikke var flere forbrugerorganisationer involveret
However, I was disappointed that there was not enough involvement by consumer organisations.
Resultatet vil ikke blot være at prisen på kaffe stiger.
This is where more work is needed in other countries.
Resultatet vil være, at der opstår en generel opfattelse af, at den nye valuta er forbundet med inflation.
There are often concerns about price rises when countries adopt the euro.
Der var en god oplysningskampagne om omstillingsprocessen, der ud fra et teknisk perspektiv forløb utroligt godt.
There was a good campaign regarding awareness and technically the changeover went exceptionally well.
Der er dog en opfattelse af, at euroen har medført stigende priser.
There is a perception that the euro changeover has brought increased prices.
Vi mangler endnu at få analyseret, om det direkte skyldes overgangen (til euroen), eller om folk benyttede legeligheden til at hæve priserne i forbindelse med overgangen til den nye valuta.
We still have to analyse whether this is due to changeover or whether people took the opportunity of a change in currency to raise prices.

Iransk chefforhandler i atomspørgsmål efterlader flere ubesvarede spørgsmål
Iran's nuclear negotiator leaves sceptical MEPs short of answers
Jalili: "Iran har ret til at berige uran"
Jalili - Iran "has right to enrich uranium"
Irans chefforhandler i atomspørgsmål Saeed Jalili besøgte onsdag Europa-Parlamentets Udenrigsudvalg, hvor MEP´erne fik mulighed for at stille spørgsmål angående landets meget omdiskuterede atomprogram.
Iran's ultimate intentions over its nuclear programme and its record on human rights were discussed Wednesday when its chief nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili met MEPs on the Foreign Affairs committee.
Hovedparten af udvalgsmedlemmerne beklagede dog efterfølgende, at mange spørgsmål stadig forblev ubesvaret.
After a question and answer session with Members, the chair of the Committee, Polish EPP-ED Member Jacek Saryusz-Wolski, declared his regret that many of the MEPs questions remained unanswered by Mr Jalili.
Generalsekretæren for Irans nationale sikkerhedsråd og chefforhandler i atomspørgsmål Saeed Jalili var onsdag i Parlamentet for at besvare spørgsmål fra medlemmerne af Udenrigsudvalget.
Saeed Jalili has recently taken up his position as General Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council as well as his country's chief negotiator on nuclear issues.
Det skete blot én dag efter at de fem permanente medlemmer af FN´s Sikkerhedsråd (USA, Frankrig, Storbritannien, Rusland og Kina) besluttede at indføre yderligere sanktioner mod Iran, såfremt landet ikke indstiller sit program for berigelse af uran.
He was in the Parliament just one day after the five permanent members of the UN Security Council - plus Germany - agreed a new draft resolution calling for sanctions against Iran if it fails to halt uranium enrichment.
"Jeg er utrolig glad for at være her i dag.
MEPs raised the issue of Iran's enrichment of uranium with Mr Jalili.
Dialog kan være udgangspunktet for samarbejde", sagde Jalili i sin indledende tale.
In particular they asked why Iran had opted for higher levels of enrichment when only 4-6% was necessary for peaceful purposes.
Selvom en rapport fra den amerikanske efterretningstjeneste fra november 2007 fastslår, at Iran har opgivet sit atomvåbenprogram, er internationale diplomater fortsat skeptiske i forhold til Irans intentioner.
This brought them to a wider issue of why a country like Iran - with its vast oil reserves - would need nuclear power at all.
Den manglende tillid til Irans intentioner var et gennemgående træk blandt udvalgsmedlemmerne.
He raised the issue of Tehran's recent purchases of rockets from North Korea and torpedoes from Russia.
Socialdemokraten Helmut Kuhne (Tyskland) ønskede at vide, hvilken garanti Jalili kunne give for at landet, såfremt det kom i besiddelse af tilstrækkeligt med uran, ikke ville påbegynde udviklingen af en atombombe.
He wondered why Iran would want to buy such weapons "if it was truly interested in peace in the region?"
Flere af udvalgsmedlemmerne kom også ind på menneskerettighedssituationen i Iran.
For many MEPs at the meeting it was a question of the extent that Tehran could be trusted.
Anvendelsen af tortur, stening og forfølgelse af kvinder og journalister blev blandt andet nævnt.
In reply Mr Jalili said "we have fulfilled our obligations as member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)".
Efter mødet havde de fleste indtryk af, at de ikke havde fået svar på deres mange spørgsmål.
He told MEPs that Iran had even gone beyond them by suspending enrichment for 2 years.
Saeed Jalili mente til gengæld ikke, at der var noget at komme efter: "Vi har ret til at berige uran.
He also said Tehran was ready to help provide a final report to the International Atomic Energy Agency and its director Dr Mohamed ElBaradei by March.
Vi har levet op til vores forpligtigelser i forhold til Det Internationale Atomagentur og ikke-spredningsaftalen (NPT)", sagde han og tilføjede, at det endnu ikke var lykkes FN at bevise, at Iran skulle have fjendtlige hensigter med deres atomprogram.
Moving away from the nuclear issue several MEPs were concerned about the breaches of human rights in Iran, mentioning examples like the practice of stoning, hanging people on cranes and harassment of women and journalists.
Jalili understregede at Iran "er imod atomvåben" samt at "atomvåben ikke har nogen plads i Irans forsvarsdoktrin".
At the end of the session, however, many Members felt that their questions were left unanswered prompting committee chair Mr Saryusz-Wolski to observe that "closing the gap of confidence is crucial".
Udkastet til den FN-resolution, som der blev opnået enighed om blandt FN´s Sikkerhedsråds faste medlemmer i tirsdags, opfordrer Iran til straks at indstille berigelsen af uran.
A draft UN Security Council Resolution agreed Tuesday by foreign ministers from the six major powers (Germany, US, France, the UK, Russia and China) reiterated international demands for Iran to halt uranium enrichment.
Europa-Parlamentets Iran-delegation rejste i december 2007 til Teheran for at afholde det andet EP/Iran-interparlamentariske møde.
The European Parliament Delegation for Iran travelled to Tehran in December 2007 in order to hold the 2nd EP-Iran Interparliamentary meeting with one of the subjects on the agenda being nuclear non-proliferation.
Et af emnerne på dagsordenen var atomvåben og ikke-spredning af masseødelæggelsesvåben.
Late last year the United States released an intelligence assessment on Iran's nuclear program.
Parlamentet vil i næste uge debattere situationen i Iran.
It stated that with "high confidence" that Iran ceased any nuclear weapons programme in 2003 and with "moderate confidence" that no such programme has recommenced since.
Barrosso præsenterer klima- og energipakke til MEP´er
MEPs react to Barroso's 20-20-20 climate vision
20 % af al energi skal være vedvarende i 2020
20% of all energy should be renewable by 2020
Kommissionens formand, José Manuel Barroso præsenterede onsdag den længeventede klima- og energipakke.
European Commission President José Manuel Barroso used a special sitting of the Parliament on Wednesday to lay out plans to make Europe "the first economy for the low-carbon age".
Klima- og energipakken
The main proposals are as follows:
Klima- og energipakken som blev præsenteret onsdag, bliver populært kaldet 20-20-20-pakken.
Emissions allowances would be put on the market and their number reduced annually.
Den består af forskellige lovforslag, der lægger op til, at udledningerne af CO2 i EU skal reduceres:
Renewing renewable forms of energy: Renewable energy currently accounts for 8.5% of final EU energy consumption.
Udledning af CO2-gasser skal nedbringes med 20% inden 2020
Biofuels: the aim is to have 10% of Europe's transport sector powered by bio-fuels by 2020.
Mindst 20% af energien skal være vedvarende
Mr Barroso said the Commission's plans were "good for the planet, industry and our citizens".
Energieffektiviteten skal øges med 20%
He told MEPs that work had to begin to half global emissions by 2050.
Barroso kaldte forslagene "den mest omfattende pakke" i forhold til klima og vedvarende energi, som er fremlagt nogensinde - noget sted i verden.
Last year a climate change committee was formed in parliament, its rapporteur, German Christian Democrat Karl-Heinz Florenz said, "the package is coherent...and takes into account the situation of European companies operating on the world market".
Han glædede sig derfor også over, at alle medlemmer af Kommissionen havde givet deres fulde støtte til pakken.
He went on to talk about the compromises and the pressure that European industry will exert.
MEP´ernes reaktioner
It’s an opportunity.
Reaktioner fra MEP´er
We need courage!"
Britta Thomsen (De Europæiske Socialdemokraters Gruppe, Danmark) som sidste år var Parlamentets ordfører på en betænkning om vedvarende energi, havde ordet under debatten, og var utrolig glad for, at lovgivningspakken var kommet på bordet, fordi det er grundlaget for, at kunne arbejde videre og realisere EU's målsætninger og vise, at EU kan mere end bare "at tale om det".
Danish MEP Britta Thomsen (PSE) drafted a report for the Parliament last year on renewable energy.
"I Danmark har vedvarende energi skabt mange jobs... denne pakke vil kunne skabe mange jobs i Europa..."
She told us that the experience of Denmark and others had shown that thousands of jobs could be created by greater use of renewable energy.
Hun henviste til sin egen betænkning om vedvarende energi.
She also welcomed the Commission proposals as they upheld "the principle of fairness" between poorer and richer EU members.
"Her lagde jeg vægt på, at nationale handlingsplaner skulle spille en central rolle.
Another MEP to bring up the possibility of job creation was Finnish Green Satu Hassi, who Chairs Parliament's Environment Committee.
Disse handlingsplaner skulle ledsages af løbende midtvejsmål, og jeg er glad for at se nu, at Kommissionen har taget dette med i sit forslag," sagde hun.
She compared it to the effect that telecom industries have had in the last decade.
Chris Davies (Gruppen Alliancen af Liberale og Demokrater for Europa, Storbritannien): "Ingen har nogensinde sagt, at det skulle være let at takle udfordringen med global opvarmning.
However, in the context of the Bali talks on international climate change, aimed at finding a successor to the Kyoto agreement, Ms Hassi said the target of 20% by 20% is a "pessimistic signal for international negotiations".
Vi må se på de midler, vi har til rådighed, som en mulighed, ikke som en trussel.
She would have liked the 30% cut the EU pledged itself to last March.
Vejen mod en økonomi, der i mindre grad er baseret på kulstof, vil kunne skabe innovation, investeringer og jobs".
Other MEPs were more optimistic about the effect this could have on the EU's role as an international example in the fight against climate change.
Guido Sacconi (De Europæiske Socialdemokraters Gruppe, Italien): "Takket være denne pakke vil Den Europæiske Union nu cementere og styrke den ledende rolle, som den har spillet under FN´s konference om klimaforandringer på Bali.
Italian Socialist Guido Sacconi, who chairs the Climate Change committee, said that "thanks to the package, the EU will have confirmed and strengthened the leading role it played at the recent UN Climate Change conference in Bali".

Brandt, Antall, Adenauer og Politkovskaya hædret af Parlamentet
Antall, Brandt, Adenauer and Politkovskaya honoured by Parliament
Willi Brandt, József Antall, Konrad Adenauer og Anna Poitkovskaya
(clockwise from top left) Brandt, Antall, Politkovskaya, Adenauer
Tidligere denne måned besluttede Parlamentets ledelse at navngive en række nye parlamentsbygninger efter Willy Brandt, József Antall, Konrad Adenauer og Anna Politkovskaya.
Leading post-war Europeans have been honoured by the European Parliament with new buildings due to be named after them.
De to nye bygninger ved Place de Luxembourg i Bruxelles vil blive navngivet efter Willy Brandt og Józef Antall, mens passage-broen, der forbinder de to bygninger vil blive opkaldt efter Konrad Adenauer.
Hungarian post-Soviet PM József Antall, German Chancellors Willy Brandt and Konrad Adenauer and murdered Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya are all honoured.
Som barn var Brandt medlem af Kinderfreunde, der var det tyske socialdemokratis (SPD) børneorganisation.
All figures were judged to have made an impact on Europe's history and values.
I 1930 medlte han sig ind i SPD´s hovedorganisation, og antog han partinavnet Willy Brandt.
József Antall: Hungarian Prime Minister 1990-1993
Efter nazisternes magtovertagelse i Tyskland flygtede Brandt i 1934 til Norge , hvor han blev leder af den norske flygtningesammenslutning.
Located to the right of the former Leopold Station as seen from place du Luxembourg this building will be named after József Antall, who was Hungarian Prime Minister from 1990-93.
I perioden 1936-45 var han i eksil i både Spanien, Frankrig, Norge og Sverige.
Mr Antall, who also died in 1993, played a role in the Hungarian uprising against Soviet rule in 1956 as well as negotiating with Hungary's Communist government in the late 1980's to bring a peaceful transition to democracy.
I 1945 to han tilbage til Tyskland for at arbejde for Nürnberg-domstolene og som presseattache for den norske ambassade.
In 1990 he became the first democratically elected Prime Minister to emerge from the rubble of the Soviet empire.
I 1949 blev formand for SPD i Berlin, hvor han bl.a. sammen med Ernst Reuter var med til at organisere luftbroen til Berlin under Berlinblokaden 1948 .
He used his mandate to call for the end to the Warsaw pact and tried to orientate Hungary towards the then European Community as well as NATO.
I 1950 blev han Berlins repræsentant i den tyske Bundestag , indtil han i 1957-66 var borgmester i Berlin og medlem af Bundesrat .
Willy Brandt: West German Chancellor 1969-74 who championed "Ostpolitik"
Han blev i 1969 tildelt Nobels Fredspris for sin "Ostpolitik", der havde til hensigt at skabe dialog og forsoning mellem Øst og Vest, særligt mellem Vesttyskland og DDR.
He also memorably knelt before the memorial of the Warsaw uprising of 1944 to seek atonement for Nazi Germany's brutal suppression of the rising.
I 1976 blev han valgt til formand for Socialistisk Internationale og formand for den Uafhængige kommission for internationale Udviklingsproblemer - ofte benævnt Brandtkommissionen.
In 1971 he was awarded the Nobel Peace prize - largely for his Ostpolitik policies.
Han blev valgt til medlem af Europa-Parlamentet under de første direkte valg i 1979, hvor han sad frem til 1983.
Between 1979 and 1983 he was a member of the European Parliament.
József Antall opvoksede i tredverne i en ungarsk familie med stærke demokratiske traditioner.
Willy Brandt had started his political career as a member of Germany's Socialist SPD in 1930.
Hans far blev under anden verdenskrig arresteret af Gestapo for at have reddet hundredvis af polske og jødiske liv under sit arbejde som statskommissær for flygtninge.
Four years later he was forced to leave Germany for Scandinavia due to Hitler's suppression of all dissent.
Som ung støttede Antall 1956-revolutionen i Ungarn, og han var en af nøglefigurene i forhandlingerne om demokratiske reformer med Ungarns kommunistiske regering i 1989.
Working as a journalist he reported on the Nuremburg war tribunals in 1945 before returning to Germany and becoming a citizen again in 1948.
Det var under hans ledelse, at Ungarn tog de første afgørende skridt mod EU-medlemskab.
The Parliament's building being named after Willy Brandt is the one to the left of the Leopold station as seen from Place du Luxembourg.
Konrad Adenauer (1876-1967)
Konrad Adenauer: West German Chancellor 1949-63 who sought reconciliation
Adenauer var en af de vigtigste personligheder i efterkrigstidens Europa.
Konrad Adenauer was one of the most important figures in post-war German history.
I 1949 indvalgtes han i Forbundsdagen, og samme år blev han valgt til forbundskansler og leder af en koalitionsregering.
As a long standing Chancellor of West Germany he worked to try and rebuild both the reputation and position of Germany in the post Nazi period.
Adenauer var forbundskansler indtil 1963.
He also presided over the post war German "economic miracle".
Adenauer må tilskrives æren for den politik, der førte til Vesttysklands selvstændighed og ligeberettigede stilling blandt de øvrige europæiske lande.
During his term in office played a key role in supporting the creation of the European Economic Community of initially six nations in 1957.
Hans rolle som en af arkitekterne bag dannelsen af det nuværende EU samt hans indsats for forsoningen med nabolandet Frankrig må betegnes som nogle af hans største politiske resultater.
This was in line with his policy of rapprochement with France - something his good relations with France's General De Gaulle helped achieve.
Anna Politkovskaya (1958 - 2006 )
A Parliament building in Luxembourg also currently bears his name.
Den nu afdøde russiske journalist, der arbejdede for avisen Novaya Gazeta fra 1999 til 2006, blev berømt for sine kritiske artikler om menneskerettighedskrænkelser og tortur i Tjetjenien og Rusland.
Anna Politkovskaya: Russian journalist highlighting abuses in Chechnya
Hun skrev flere kritiske bøger om de tjetjenske krige og forholdene i Rusland efter Putins magtovertagelse.
In her career as a journalist reporting on the Chechen wars of the 1990's Anna Politkovskaya earned many admirers - and also made many enemies.
Politkovskaya blev ofte udsat for trusler, arrestationer og andre former for forfølgelse fra myndighedernes side.
Her writing - both of books and articles - was recognised by an international audience for its honesty and the courage needed to report in such a war zone.
Hun overlevede b. la. et forsøg på forgiftelse.
Her work also brought her condemnation from the Russian military and their masters in the Kremlin.
Hun blev til sidst dræbt den 7. oktober 2006 i en elevator i det centrale Moskva.
After numerous death threats and one attempt on her life she was shot dead in the lift of her Moscow apartment block on 7 October 2006.
Gerningsmændene er endnu ikke blevet fundet.
Anna Politkovskaya was one of the EP's three finalists for the 2007 Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought.
EP-Briefing, Bruxelles, den 30.- 31. januar 2008
Briefing - 30-31 January 2008 - Brussels plenary session
Efterfølgende vil Parlamentet debattere det planlagte amerikanske antimissilskjold med Rådet og Kommissionen.
On 22 January, in Berlin, the permanent members of the UN Security Council agreed on a draft resolution that would strengthen (and possibly add new) sanctions on Iran for refusing to halt uranium enrichment.
Bifangster skal undgås Hvert år bliver tusindvis af ton fisk smidt over bord på fiskefartøjerne i EU.
It says both the Commission and Member States need to improve their implementation of energy-efficiency legislation.
Alene i Nordsøen skønnes det, at mellem 500.000 og 880.000 tons fisk bliver smidt ud om året.
Late on Wednesday, MEPs debate the reduction in unwanted by-catches in European fisheries .
I en initiativbetænkning, som Parlamentet skal stemme om torsdag, mener MEP'erne, at det bør forbydes at smide lovlige fisk ud.
According to MEPs in the committee, the most sensible way to proceed is by choosing a number of pilot fisheries, based upon the quantity of discards produced or on the conservation status of the species involved.
De ønsker, at der først og fremmest skal sættes ind over for de fangstmetoder som skaber flest bifangster, og at fiskere, der forbedrer deres fangstmetoder skal belønnes
Two possible candidates would be the various beam trawl fisheries and those fisheries that catch and discard cod.
Debatten vil blive på baggrund af mundtlige forespørgsler til Kommissionen og Rådet.
On Thursday , the House will debate freedom, security and justice in its annual debate based on oral questions to the Commission and the Council .
Udvalget om Borgernes Rettigheder og Retlige og Indre Anliggender gav deres støtte til forslaget, men ønskede en klarere definition af, hvad der skal forstås ved krise-situationer.
Since Slovenia is completing the EU's first "trio presidency" (with Germany and Portugal), its programme largely consists of the follow-up to the goals set jointly by these three countries.
Parlamentet har kun høringsret på dette område.
The House will vote on a resolution on A European Roma strategy following the debate took place in Strasbourg on 16 January 2008.

Postal services: market opening by 2011 on track
Du behøver ikke være i Bruxelles for at følge med i, hvad der foregår i Europa-Parlamentet.
The funding for these universal services should be guaranteed if market players prove unable to provide such services profitably.
På Parlamentets hjemmeside kan du følge debatterne live med dansk tolkning.
In that case, Member States may decide to set up compensation funds.
Debatterne starter onsdag klokken 15.
I am very happy with the outcome of this vote.
