Some of the VIPs that pass through the Parliaments corridors in the last 5 years Hillary Clinton Ingrid Betancourt The Dalai Lama Kofi Annan Aliaksandr Milinkevich Mikhail Gorbachev Desmond Tutu Yulia Tymoshenko Carla Del Ponte The European Parliament has long been a magnet for visiting foreign leaders.
Hver måned lægger store politiske personligheder, videnskabelige eksperter og repræsentanter for samfundsorganisationer deres vej forbi Parlamentet for at drøfte aktuelle politiske problemstillinger med MEP´erne.
The past legislative term was no exception, with a succession of well known international figures visiting the Parliament: some to address the Parliament in formal session, others to attend political meetings or special events, others to receive awards.
Vi har i dette lysbilledshow samlet en række billeder af de mest kendte personligheder, som besøgte Europa-Parlamentet i den sidste valgperiode.
This selection of nine photographs cannot do justice to the very many eminent guests of Parliament over the last five years, but it can provide an indication of the variety of figures who made the journey to Brussels or Strasbourg to meet MEPs.

20 år efter den baltiske kæde
Summer of 1989: MEPs remember the Baltic Way
Balterne ville gøre omverden opmærksom på deres situation under det sovjetiske styre.
Some MEPs who held hands during the Baltic Way share their memories of those days.
Den baltiske kæde har bevaret sin symbolske betydning
Baltic Way "has not lost its symbolic meaning"
Letlands nyvalgte MEP og tidligere EU-kommissær Sandra Kalniete deltog personligt i organiseringen af de folkelige protestaktioner.
Recently elected Latvian MEP Sandra Kalniete was born in Siberia where her family had been deported during the Soviet occupation.
Den baltiske kæde har gennem 20 år formået at bevare sin symbolske betydning.
It has not lost its symbolic meaning.
Det er en legendarisk aktion, der kan sammenlignes med Mahatma Ghandi's ikke-voldelige opposition."
It is a legend today, and it can be compared to Mahatma Ghandi’s non-violent opposition."
Han fortalte os om, hvordan litauerne siden 1987 offentligt markerede deres uvilje mod "den skamfulde pagt" mellem Molotov og Ribbentrop.
"In Lithuania the International Black Ribbon day reminding of the shameful Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact has been publicly commemorated since 1987."
"Vi sendte et klart signal til verden om goodwill: Vi kræver frihed og vil kæmpe for den via fredelige midler.
Pondering on the importance of the event he added: "The Baltic Way was sending an obvious message of goodwill to the world, namely: we are demanding freedom and will peacefully take it, violence and injustice has to come to an end!"
En tredje MEP, der i den grad havde uafhængighedskampen inde på livet er Tunne Kelam, der var en af hovedkræfterne bag den første offentlige protestdemonstration mod Molotov-Ribbentrop-Pagten.
At that point in time he was a key player in the National Independence Party which was the major non-Communist political party in Estonia.
"I 1989 var de baltiske lande besat af hundredtusindvis af sovjetiske soldater.
Mr Kelam told us: "In 1989 the Baltic States were occupied by hundred of thousands Soviet soldiers.
Set i det lys må man sige, at boger-initiativet om at danne en kæde med 2 millioner mennesker er ret unik.
Considering the conditions, the citizen's initiative to organise a chain of 2 million people is unique.
Det fortjener bestemt en plads i de undertrykte nationers historie."
It deserves a place in the history of repressed nations."
Østeuropas første demokratisk valgte regering
Poland, August '89: First non-Communist government
August 1989 var også en særlig måned for Polen, der kunne præsentere Østeuropas første ikke-kommunistiske regering siden 2. verdenskrig.
In the summer of 1989 events in Poland were also accelerating the end of Communist rule.
Den 24. august tiltrådte Tadeusz Mazowiecki (Solidarność) posten som polsk premierminister.
Free elections were held in June and on 24 August Solidarność member Tadeusz Mazowiecki became the first non-Communist leader in Central and Eastern Europe since the war.
Polen havde to måneder forinden - som det første af de østeuropæiske lande - afholdt frie og demokratiske valg.
It was like with the dead lion – everyone around can say it's dead, but someone has to step up and drag its tail to check it."
Den regeringsskeptiske landsorganisation Solidarnosz vandt 99 af senatets 100 pladser.
He went on to elaborate on the consequences of the first non-Communist government for other States behind the Iron curtain: "When Poland rejected Communism, it became clear that soon the question of the status of DDR would arise and that the Berlin Wall would collapse eventually.
Tidligere MEP Janusz Onyszkiewicz fortalte os, at junivalget i 1989 på flere måder markerede det kommunistiske systems endelige sammenbrud, selvom frygten for sovjetisk indblanding hele tiden lå i baghovedet.
We were talking about it with Chancellor Helmut Kohl during his visit in Poland in November 1989.
Onyszkiewicz mener, at Polens demokratiske pionerrolle spillede en vigtig rolle for Berlinmurens fald.
Kohl did not believe, but on the next day he had to head back to Germany, because the Wall just had fallen."
"Da Polen afviste kommunismen som styreform, blev det klart, at spørgsmålet om DDR´s status før eller siden ville opstå - og at det i sidste ende ville føre til Berlinmurens sammenbrud.
A YouTube film below of the Baltic Way shows people linking hands across the Baltic States in 1989.
Ikke-angrebs-pagten mellem Sovjetunionen og Tyskland blev underskrevet den 23. august 1939
USSR given free hand in Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and parts of Poland and Romania
Pagten gav Sovjetunionen frie hænder i Finland, Estland, Letland, Litauen samt dele af Polen og Rumænien
Nazi Germany given free hand in Poland, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Yugoslavia and Greece

Europa-Parlamentets gruppeformænd
Profile of the leaders of Parliament's political groups
Parlamentets syv gruppeformænd Hvem er de nye politiske gruppeledere efter valget til Europa-Parlamentet?
EP political group leaders (from left to right): Joseph Daul (EPP), Martin Schulz (S&D), Guy Verhofstadt (ALDE), Rebecca Harms and Daniel Cohn-Bendit (Greens/EFA), Michał Kamiński (ECR), Lothar Bisky (GUE/NGL), Francesco Speroni and Nigel Farage (EFD) Who are the new leaders of the political groups?
Vi ser her nærmere på de personligheder, som står i spidsen for de politiske grupper i det nyvalgte parlament.
On the opening session of the new European Parliament we take a look at the personalities MEPs have chosen as their leaders over the past few weeks and whose personalities will affect the agenda of the Parliament over the next years.
Medlemmerne af Europa-Parlamentet er organiseret i syv politiske grupper, der fungerer som paraplyorganisationer for de mange politiske partier i EU.
The European Parliament now has seven political groups.
Grupperne er inddelt efter ideologiske principper - på tværs af de nationale skel.
The two largest are the centre-right European People’s Party and the Socialists & Democrats.
Herefter følger Den Progressive Alliance af Socialister og Demokrater med 184 mandater og den liberale gruppe med 84 mandater.
The strength of the groups and the number of MEPs they can muster from all corners of Europe reflects the results of the June European elections.
En af fordelene ved at være medlem af en stor gruppe er, at størrelsen på gruppen afgør den taletid, som er reserveret til MEP´erne.
Read on here to see profiles of those elected to lead them.
