Han understregede, at uanset hvor samlet EU står, er der behov for tæt samarbejde i Kvartetten, særligt med USA og Den Arabiske Liga.
It was thus very important to "guarantee legal certainty with an agreement at European-level, to ensure a high level of security and at the same time privacy protection for our citizens".
Udenrigskommissær Benita FERRERO-WALDNER understregede ligesom Rådsformanden, at EU spiller en hidtil uset rolle i løsningen af konflikten.
Sophia IN 'T VELD (ALDE, NL), Parliament's rapporteur on PNR said the debate had to be seen in a broader context of the methods used to fight terrorism, especially given President Bush's statement on the existence of secret detention camps outside the US.
"Paradoksalt nok har denne konflikt, og især de lidelser den har påført de almindelige libanesere, betydet, at man igen forstår det påtrængende behov for at komme frem til en regional løsning.
She stressed the importance of Europe speaking with a single voice on this subject, as well as proper parliamentary scrutiny meaning co-decision powers for the European Parliament.
Sikkerhed og stabilitet kan ikke opnås uden diplomati og dialog".
The rapporteur also underlined the importance of "proportionality" and the creation of a parliamentary transatlantic dialogue in order to heal the rift between Europe and the US on this subject.
Hun forklarede, hvordan Kommissionen de sidste seks uger har været med til at organisere en meget vigtig reaktion på konflikten i form af at yde hurtig humanitær hjælp.
Carlos COELHO (EPP-ED, PT) stressed his group's support for the goal of combating terrorism but said it was keen to see cooperation not just among EU Member States but particularly with the United States.
Kommissionen har også givet 11 millioner euro til at evakuere tredjelandsborgere fra de ramte områder, ligesom Kommissionen har reageret på den miljøkatastrofe, der indtraf i området.
He referred to the agreements concluded by the USA with Australia and Canada, saying "they have acceptable levels of proportionality" on the scope and type of data that can be collected as well as oversight by an independent authority.
På donorkonferencen i sidste uge kunne Kommissæren annoncere, at endnu 42 millioner euro var bevilliget til hurtig genopbygning, hvilket bringer Kommissionens bidrag op på mere end 100 millioner euro.
He added "We need dialogue between the EU, the US, Canada and Australia so we can prepare for the 2007 review and a global approach on PNR".
"Vi er nødt til at forny vores politiske perspektiv, som fredsprocessen hviler på og vores holdning til de grænser, der blev fastsat i 1967.
As regards cooperation within the European Union itself, it was time "to move from words to facts", he concluded.
Hans-Gert POETTERING (PPE-DE, DE), nævnte den voldsspiral, vi i flere år har observeret i Mellemøsten og mente ikke, at en militærløsning alene kunne skabe fred.
Proposals by the Commission would only be acceptable if we adopt a framework decision on data protection under the third pillar.
Der må finde varige politiske løsninger, påpegede formanden for den konservative gruppe, som også var glad for, at der var sket en udvikling i EU og i debatterne i Parlamentet i forhold til denne typer konflikter.
On behalf of the Liberals, Sarah LUDFORD (ALDE, UK) voiced concern at a recent statement by the head of US Homeland Security, who had said he "wants to analyse PNR records in conjunction with current intelligence to identify high-risk travellers who are 'unnamed threats'".
"Det opmuntrer mig, at vi ikke længere skal diskutere, om vi skal engagere os militært, men hvordan vi skal.
He even wished to share such information routinely with Immigration, the FBI and "our allies in London".
Det var en utænkelig debat for 20 år siden," sagde Hans-Gert Poettering.
There was also a danger, she said, of profiling on the basis of stereotypes of terrorists.
Fra den socialdemokratiske gruppe foreslog formand Martin SCHULZ (PSE, DE) en international konference for sikkerhed og samarbejde i Mellemøsten, hvor EU skal spille en aktiv rolle og som skal genåbne forhandlingsprocessen.
"We need a very good explanation of what PNR data is being used for in the US", she stressed.
"Den amerikanske indsats har fuldstændig slået fejl.
Above all, however, there was "a need for a coherent EU policy".
Han understregede desuden, at Israels eksistensberettigelse er et kerneelement for PSE.
There was a clear need for an EU policy but it must be one that safeguards privacy.
Fra den liberale gruppe var formand Graham WATSON (ALDE, EN) mere tilbageholdende i sin ros af EU's indsats indtil nu: "Lad os ikke overdrive - det var en krise, der drev EU derhen hvor vi er nu.
Cem ÖZDEMIR (Greens/EFA, DE) said that the vast majority of MEPs were in favour of strengthening security and co-operating with the US where possible, but were opposed to the current proposal on PNR: The transfer of data had to take place under "reasonable conditions".
Han undrede sig over, at EU's udenrigskoordinator, Javier Solana, ikke var til stede, når han på udenrigsministermødet den 25. august havde udtalt, at dette var den vigtigste intervention i Europas historie.
The Council would simply continue to ignore the Parliament and it would be better for Member States to agree bi-lateral agreements with the US.
Fra den grønne gruppe var Daniel COHN-BENDIT (Verts-ALE, DE) enig med Watson i, at der er behov for en egentlig europæisk styrke.
Non-aligned MEP, Frank VANHECKE (NI, BE) said that his phone had been tapped by "state authorities" but little attention had been paid to this.
"Jeg vågnede en morgen og havde drømt, at statslederne ikke længere sendte en styrke af ¾ fransk, 2/3 italienere og ¼ tyskere, men at det var europæere, der tog af sted for Europa.
The rights of the European traveller should be protected, he said, but greater transfers of data was the "price to pay" for greater security.
Formand for GUE/NGL-gruppen Francis WURTZ (GUE/NGL, FR) var ikke imponeret over den indsats, der er gjort indtil nu.
In fact, he argued, "that ruling was a great defeat for Community interests, for this Parliament and for the Commission".
"Det vi har set i sommer, burde være utænkeligt i vor tid.
"That ruling, which has to be respected, was a distinct defeat for all of us and we should say that".
Vi må konstatere, at EU ikke har kunnet bidrage til fredsskabelsen, men vi må så bidrage til genopbygningen.
He added that if no agreement was reached now, EU citizens "will see a reduction in the protection of their personal data", as they will continue to travel but will have to make individual declarations.
Den Europæiske Union har ikke gjort noget for at sikre at Kvartettens køreplan blev fulgt", sagde Wurtz under debatten.
The EP would be kept informed about the progress of negotiations for an agreement but ultimately "the need is for more cooperation with the US, not less".
EU's vigtigste opgave er at støtte og forsvare eksistensen af den israelske stat og dets folk.
He also favoured a move to the PUSH system and hoped that, thanks to new technical advances, such a system could start functioning in a few weeks' time.
Kun ved at gå tilbage til køreplanene kan vi endelig få en palæstinensisk stat, sagde Muscardini.
He promised to speak in detail about the London summit referred to by Martine Roure (PES, FR) when he appeared before Parliament's Civil Liberties Committee next week.
Baastian BELDER (IND/DEM, NL) talte på vegne af sin gruppe.
The House postponed the vote on the Martine ROURE (PES, FR) report on protection of personal data.
Han spurgte også, om Israel ønskede at fortsætte blokaden af Libanon.
The resolution was adopted by 534 votes in favour to 10 against and 29 abstentions.
Fra gruppen af løsgængere var det Gianni DE MICHELIS (NI, IT), der tog ordet.
MEPs are concerned at the growing number of disasters which, according to experts, may be attributed largely to climate change.
"Jeg mener, at initiativet skal komme fra EU, naturligvis sammen med USA og Den Arabiske liga - men EU's bidrag vil være centralt, sagde han, og mente at tiden er moden til en fælles fremgangsmåde.
The House calls, accordingly, on the Member States to do what is necessary to attain the Kyoto goals, and calls on the Commission to take initiatives to guarantee compliance with the Kyoto commitments and the follow-up to them.

Flysikkerhed: Europa-Parlamentet vil have indflydelse på oplysninger
Counterfeiting of medicines: MEPs want improved access to affordable medicines
Kun få uger før EU har deadline for at indgå en aftale med USA om udlevering af passageroplysninger, kræver Europa-Parlamentet at blive inddraget mere i forhandlingerne omkring aftalen for at sikre beskyttelse af passagerernes private oplysninger.
The House calls on the EU to take steps to strengthen the regulatory and quality-control capacity for medicinal products and medical equipment put on the market in countries with inadequate resources and to improve access to affordable medicines.
Den 30. september udløber den aftale, EU har med USA om udlevering af passageroplysninger.
The House calls on the Commission to go beyond its communication 'Strategy to enforce intellectual property rights in third countries.'
Den er blevet annulleret af EF-Domstolen i maj 2006, fordi den ikke var indgået i overensstemmelse med traktatens bestemmelser.
MEPs in particular, urge the European Union to take adequate measures to combat the scourge of counterfeiting of medicines in its territory.
Under debatten i Parlamentet torsdag formiddag var der bred enighed blandt medlemmerne af Parlamentet om vigtigheden af, at EU får indgået en aftale med USA inden deadline udløber den 30. september.
Parliament urges the European Union to play a key role in promoting an international convention to create a specific criminal offence of counterfeiting or the receiving and distribution of counterfeit medicines in the legislation of every country.
Og meldingen fra Parlamentet var klar: Medlemmerne vil ikke ignoreres denne gang.
MEPs also call for greater cooperation at both national and international level between the various authorities involved in anti-counterfeiting measures.
Franco FRATTINI , kommissær med ansvar for retsområdet, åbnede debatten med at sige, at aftalen med USA, som skal forhandles på plads inden 30. september, bør have samme indhold som den aftale, der findes i forhold til at kunne beskytte menneskeliv og personoplysninger, men at retsgrundlaget skal ændres.
In its resolution on Sri Lanka, Parliament highlights the deteriorating situation in the country, the results of which have been "hundreds of deaths, 200,000 people displaced from their homes, 500,000 civilians in Jaffna deprived of essential food and water supplies and vital post-tsunami reconstruction disrupted".
Han understregede desuden behovet for, at flere beslutninger inden for det retlige og indre anliggender bliver taget på fællesskabsniveau, hvis borgene skal sikres en bedre beskyttelse.
Among other things, MEPs point to the bombing, apparently by the LTTE, of a bus in a land-mine attack on 15 June that killed 64 people as well as the shooting, apparently by government forces, of 17 Sri Lankans working for the NGO Action against Hunger.
Forhandlingerne mellem EU og USA er planlagt til at gå i gang i morgen i Bruxelles.
The resolution stresses "the need for Government forces engaged in counter-insurgency and domestic security operations to exercise maximum restraint in order to minimise any risk of innocent civilian casualties".
Sophia in 't VELD (ALDE, NL), som har været ordfører på Parlamentets betænkning, påpegede vigtigheden af, at EU taler med en stemme i denne sag, især i lyset af George Bushs seneste bekræftelse på, at USA har haft hemmelige CIA-fængsler til terrorister.
It also repeats the EP's "condemnation of the appalling abuse of children through the recruitment of child soldiers, which is a war crime, and calls on all rebel groups to stop this practice".
"Det haster med at få en aftale i hus.
The "intransigence of the LTTE leadership over the years" is also criticised.
Fra den konservative gruppe var Carlos COELHO (PPE-DE, PT) enig med ordføreren i, at det er vigtigt med en fælles EU-aftale med USA, og håbede på, at Frattinis løfter om at inddrage Parlamentet ikke var tomme ord.
The government and the LTTE are urged to "grant unhindered access for humanitarian aid workers, UN organisations and truce monitors".
Martine ROURE (PSE, FR) som selv var ordfører om en betænkning om samme emne, som bliver behandlet på næste samling, mente at ikke blot Europa-Parlamentet men også de nationale parlamenter skal inddrages i udformningen af en langsigtet aftale om personoplysninger
While calling on the Sri Lankan government and other parties to "take robust action against terrorism", MEPs also urge them to address legitimate Tamil grievances, for example an "early revision of the Constitution of Sri Lanka…to define the state as a secular, democratic republic in which all religions are respected".
Hun var desuden enig med Frattini og in 't Veld om, at der er behov for et nyt retsgrundlag.
These people were taken to court, fined and then jailed because they were unable to pay the fines.
Giusto CATANIA (GUE/NGL, IT) nævnte, at af de 34 oplysningskategorier, som amerikanerne opererer med, bliver der tilsyneladende kun brugt oplysninger fra syv eller otte kategorier.
Indeed, they call on Thailand, in view of its "long tradition of hospitality towards refugees" and as a "responsible member of the international community" to seek a solution by sending the refugees to a third country of their choice after their 30-day jail sentence expires.
Gerard BATTEN (IND-DEM, UK) kaldte diskussionen for ubrugelig, fordi han mente, at Parlamentet alligevel blev ignoreret og afvist af Rådet, og mente at UK var bedre tjent med at lave bilaterale aftaler med USA.
In its resolution the EP "condemns the Mugabe dictatorship for its relentless oppression of the Zimbabwean people and expresses its profound disappointment at the refusal of regional actors such as the AU, the SADC and South Africa to take a more robust stance".
Frank VANHECKE , (NI, BE) mente, at bekymringerne for borgerens retssikkerhed var helt på sin plads, men at det naturligvis også må ses i perspektivet af sommerens forsøg på terrorhandlinger, og at der er en pris at betale hvis man ønsker større sikkerhed.
MEPs highlight the plight of "those forced out of their homes during the atrocious 'Operation Murumbatsvina' campaign" and what they say is "one of the world's worst HIV-AIDS epidemics, with over 3,200 people a week dying from the disease".
Kommissær Frattini afsluttede debatten med at understrege, at EF-Domstolens afgørelse om at annullere aftalen mellem EU og USA efter hans mening ikke er en sejr, men et nederlag for fællesskabets interesser.
Parliament refuses to recognise the recently created 'Senate' in Zimbabwe as a mere 15 per cent of Zimbabweans voted in an election process guaranteed to favour Zanu-PF.
Uden denne aftale vil millioner af europæiske borgere være dårligere stillet, fordi de nu hver især vil skulle skrive under på, at USA må få en masse personlige oplysninger om dem, hvis de ønsker at rejse ind i USA.
Parliament regrets the split in the opposition MDC and calls on all those opposed to the regime to come together to bring about change for the better in the country.
Han påpegede, at begivenhederne i London, og de seneste anholdelser i Danmark, gør det endnu mere vigtigt med et tættere samarbejde, og han appellerede til, at Rådet snarest får vedtaget en fælles rammeafgørelse om beskyttelse af personoplysninger, som fjerner de forbehold som er fra nogle landes side.
The resolution recognises that the EU's targeted sanctions "have failed to have the desired impact" and asks the Council "to ensure that all Member States rigorously apply existing restrictive measures".

"Atomkraft er ikke sikkert"
Thursday 7 September 2006
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog i dag en betænkning af Karin RIIS-JØRGENSEN (ALDE, DK), der bakker op om, at registreringsafgifter på personbiler skal udskiftes med årlige afgifter, som afspejler, hvor meget bilen forurener.
MEPs have backed plans to scrap passenger car registration taxes throughout the EU.
Betænkningen bakker op om Kommissionens forslag om, at registreringsafgifter på personbiler på sigt skal udskiftes med en årlig miljøafgift.
They adopted a report by 385 votes in favour to 139 against with 109 abstentions saying annual circulation taxes should be used instead, and that these should be linked to the level of pollution produced by the car.
Registreringsafgifter på personbiler er meget forskellige i EU - fra 0 til 180 % af prisen på en bil før skatter.
Car registration taxes vary widely across the EU from 0 to 180 per cent of the pre-tax price of a car.
Det er ifølge Kommissionen med til at skævvride det Indre Marked, det er meget administrativt indviklet og kan betyde, at mennesker som køber en bil i ét land og flytter til et andet skal betale to gange.
According to the Commission, this distorts the internal market, is administratively complex, encourages tax avoidance – and can often mean people buying a vehicle in one Member State then moving it to another have to pay twice.
Vi anbefaler i rapporten, at afgiften baseres på alle forurenende stoffer og partikler, og det vil give bilindustrien incitamenter til at producere mere benzinøkonomiske og mindre forurenende biler," sagde ordføreren Karin Riis-Jørgensen under debatten mandag aften.
By approving the report from Karin Riis-Jørgensen (ALDE, DK), Parliament backs the Commission’s general approach, though it says that the environmental aspect should be more broad, with the level of tax linked to fuel efficiency and pollutant emissions as well as carbon dioxide.
Parlamentet understregede også, at det nye system skal være budgetneutralt for medlemslandene.
MEPs also note that the changes should be revenue neutral.
Olieforurening: 154 millioner euro til satellitter og oprydningsskibe
Oil pollution at sea: €154m for satellite imagery services and anti-pollution vessels
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog i dag med stort flertal i førstebehandling en betænkning om finansiering af aktiviteter for det Europæiske Agentur for søfartssikkerhed.
MEPs believe that the time is ripe for taking measures additional to those taken by coastal states in order to provide an effective response to cases of maritime pollution.
Parlamentet besluttede at give 154 millioner euro i perioden 2007-2013 for at sikre, at Agenturet, som officielt bliver indviet den 14. september, kan føre de nye opgaver ud i livet.
The activities of the Agency should, however, not relieve coastal states of their responsibility to have appropriate pollution response mechanisms in place.
Ordføreren sagde i går, at der var indgået en aftale med Rådet, så behandlingen kan afsluttes efter Parlamentets førstebehandling.
In the event of a maritime pollution incident, EMSA should assist the Member State(s) affected, under the authority of which the clean-up operation will be conducted.
Særlige oprydnings- fartøjer
Anti-pollution vessels
De nye opgaver handler blandt andet om, at medlemslandene kan bede Agenturet om hjælp fra fartøjer, som er særligt udstyret til at kunne bekæmpe forurening.
On request, EMSA will provide anti-pollution vessels to combat oil pollution and other types of pollution, such as that caused by hazardous and noxious substances to combat oil pollution, such as that caused by hazardous and noxious substances.
På den måde vil der altid være et oprydningsskib i nærheden.
An amendment was also adopted pointing on the definition of "oil".
Satellit overvågning
Hazardous and noxious substances
Agenturet vil desuden komme til at spille en vigtig rolle i forhold til at udvikle et centralt satellitsystem, som skal overvåge og komme med hurtig indberetning af forurening, så de ansvarlige skibe kan identificeres.
In addition to the Commission proposals, Parliament took the view that hazardous and noxious substances should also be under the scope of this regulation.
Flere penge til bekæmpelse af vold mod kvinder, børn og unge
Daphne III - fighting violence against children, young people and women - MEPs call for an increase in the budget
Tirsdag vedtog Europa-Parlamentet med 552 stemmer mod 51 i førstebehandlingen en betænkning om det succesfulde EU- program, Daphne, der har til formål at bekæmpe og forebygge vold mod kvinder og børn.
Parliament has adopted a first-reading report on the successful EU programme seeking to combat and prevent violence against children, young people and women: Daphne.
Parlamentet kræver i betænkningen flere penge til programmet.
The Parliament calls for a budget of €125 million for 2007-2013 as compared to €116.85 million in the Commission's proposal.
I betænkningen beder Parlamentet om 125 millioner euro til programmet i perioden 2007-2013, i stedet for de 116,85 millioner som Kommissionen havde foreslået.
A common programme was criticised out of the concern that the Daphne programme might loose visibility if combined with measures related to drug addiction.
