Liverpool og Stavanger Europæiske kulturbyer i 2008
Liverpool and Stavanger – European Capitals of Culture 2008
Liverpools havnefront
Liverpool's iconic seafront
Liverpool og Stavanger er blevet kåret til europæiske kulturbyer for 2008.
Liverpool and Stavanger, although over 800 km apart, will make their mark on the cultural map of Europe this year as they celebrate being the official 2008 European capitals of culture.
Begge byer planlægger masser af kulturarrangementer i løbet af året med blandt andet teaterstykker, koncerter og udstillinger.
Plays, concerts and exhibitions are among the events both cities plan as thousands of people visit the two port cities over the course of the year.
Det forventes at tusindvis af internationale gæster vil tage del i festlighederne i de to nordeuropæiske byer.
Each city is under the international spotlight for one year, giving them the chance to showcase their cultural life, raise their profile and transform their cultural image.
Projektet med europæiske kulturbyer startede i 1985 for at skabe tættere kontakt mellem de europæiske folk.
Since the launch of the capitals of culture programme in 1985, the European Parliament has played a role in deciding on the cities, giving its opinion on the merits of each application.
En europæisk kulturby er en by, som har en vis kulturarv, og som repræsenterer en bred europæisk mangfoldighed.
MEPs on Parliament's Education and Culture Committee consider every application based on what the city can offer.
Liverpools kåring til europæisk kulturby er udtryk for den økonomiske og kulturelle r enæssance, som byen har oplevet gennem de seneste år.
Being crowned as the 2008 capital of culture is a recognition of the economic and cultural renaissance the city has undergone since the decline of traditional industries.
Festlighederne startede den 11. januar med en farverig åbningsfest.
Liverpool's year as city of culture opened on 11 January when thousands gathered for a performance of "Liverpool the musical" featuring former Beatle Ringo Starr and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
Liverpool satte gang i arrangementerne med forestillingen "Liverpool The Musical", hvor eks-beatlen Ringo Starr optrådte.
Over the next 12 months a series of events will celebrate the creativity of Liverpool and her people.
Forestillingen markerede samtidig den officielle åbning af den nye Liverpool Arena.
February will see a series of lectures on Liverpool and a concert of Sir John Tavener's new Requiem in Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral at the end of the month.
I 2004 blev Liverpool sat ind på UNESCOs verdensarvsliste takket været sin rolle i verdenshandlen samt sin havneteknologi.
In 2004 the seafront at Liverpool was awarded World Heritage Status by the UN based on the city's history as a Maritime Mercantile city.
Det estimeres af der bliver talt mere end 60 forskellige sprog blandt byens 447.500 indbyggere.
It has also left a multicultural legacy with an estimated 60 different languages spoken by its 447,500 people.
Byen er desuden kendt for dens to traditionsrige fodboldklubber - Liverpool og Everton FC.
The city is also famous for the Beatles and two of Britain's most popular and successful football clubs Liverpool and Everton.
Stavangers ambitiøse kulturprogram for 2008, " Open port", spænder både over arkitektur, litteratur, musik og kunst.
Norway – "the land of the midnight sun", fjords, glaciers, waterfalls and a perfect place to live coming first in the Global Peace Index and ranked second in the human development index.
Norske og internationale kunstnere vil medvirke inden for alle genrer.
Stavanger has an unemployment rate of just 1% and is a wealthy town, having profited from the oil industry, shipping, fishing and timber.
Stavanger vil markedsføre sig på åbenhed og ytringsfrihed og går efter et bredt publikum.
Events in Stavanger centre around the concept of the "open port" with a free port of art and freedom of expression and new ideas.
Byen vil sætte fokus på regionen Rogaland, og alle dens kommuner indbydes til at præsentere en tematisk aktivitet.
There will be workshops encouraging locals to create their own art and international artists will work with local artists.
Stavanger er med sine ca. 118.000 indbyggere den fjerdestørste by i Norge.
There will be events around architecture, literature, music and visual arts.
Stavanger er i dag en meget rig by med færre end 1 % arbejdsløse.
Visitors to Stavanger will also have the chance to enjoy:

EU´s fiskeripolitik under udvikling
We net some MEPs to talk about fisheries policy
EU´s fiskeriindustri er den næststørste i verden.
Across the European Union over a quarter of a million people are fishermen and women.
Fiskeri og akvakultur leverer ca. 7,3 mio. ton fisk om året.
Tens of thousands more work in various aspects of the fishing industry.
Ud over den skade, som fiskebestandene i sig selv har lidt, har situationen en betydelig, negativ dominoeffekt på fiskernes indtjening og forsyningen af fisk til EU-markedet.
We spoke to some MEPs on Parliament's fisheries committee and asked for their views of Europe's fisheries policy.
at styrke erhvervsdrivenes konkurrenceevne og levedygtighed i fiskerisektoren
It also attempted to provide support to people employed in the Fisheries sector.
at fremme miljøvenligt fiskeri og miljøvenlige produktionsmetoder
French Liberal Philippe Morillon chairs Parliament's Fisheries Committee.
at yde passende støtte til de ansatte i sektoren
He welcomed the 2002 reform and the emphasis it placed in science as the basis for assessing fish stocks.
Den fælles fiskeripolitik omfatter flere tiltag, der skal bidrage til miljøbeskyttelsen.
It's a question of reconciling scientific expertise with the experience of fishermen," he said.
Stavros Arnaoutakis (De Europæiske Socialdemokraters Gruppe , Grækenland): Nye udfordringer som klimaforandringer, havforurening, reduktion af fiskebestandene og udmatningen af de maritime økosystemer skaber et behov for at bekæmpe illegalt fiskeri og destruktive fiskepraksisser."
However, she sees some cause for optimism: "the introduction of special recovery plans for endangered fish stocks and an end to inappropriate subsidies is to be welcomed and has to be considered an improvement in policy".
Georg Jarzembowski (Gruppen for Det Europæiske Folkeparti (Kristelige Demokrater) og De Europæiske Demokrater, Tyskland): "For mig er det meget vigtigt at sikre bæredygtigheden i den europæiske fiskeripolitik, et stop for den illegale fangst (udenfor de aftalte kvoter) og skabelsen af en langsigtet basis for fiskerne langs kystområderne."
New measures like the policy on reducing unwanted by-catch and eliminating discards and the strategy to stop illegal and unregulated fishing "will ensure a sustainable future for our maritime communities," she said.
Avril Doyle (EPP-ED, Storbritannien): "...
"Long term basis for fishermen in coastal regions"
CFP har resulteret i 20 års fejlagtige fiskekvoter og indkomster til vores fiskere, dårlig styring og implementering...
Looking forward German Christian Democrat Georg Jarzembowski said that "for me it is most important to ensure the sustainability of the European fisheries policy, to stop illegal fishing beyond agreed quotas and thus to create a long-term basis for the livelihood of fishermen in coastal regions."
Den nye øko-baserede tilgang til fiskerikontrollen i CFP er meget vigtig på grund af dens fokus på bæredygtigt fiskeri."
Greek Socialist Stavros Arnaoutakis sees new challenges from "climate change, water pollution, the reduction of fish stocks and the impoverishment of marine ecosystems (which) create the need to fight illegal fishing and destructive fishing practices."
Elspeth Attwooll (Gruppen Alliancen af Liberale og Demokrater for Europa, Storbritannien): "De vigtigste målsætninger i de kommende år bliver udviklingen af nye modeller til at forbedre bæredygtigheden af fiskebestandene."
"The most important aims in coming years are to develop new conservation models to improve the sustainability of fish stocks," said British Liberal Elspeth Attwooll .

Interview med Jan Andersson: Vejen til et anstændigt arbejde
Swedish MEP Jan Andersson on a decent day's work
Men hvilke faktorer afgør, om man er tilfreds med sit arbejde?
The term is one used by the International Labour Organisation and the European Trade Union Confederation to mean a productive task with a fair income.
Formanden for Parlamentets Udvalg om Beskæftigelse og Sociale Anliggender, Jan Anderson (PES, Sverige) er netop kommet hjem fra et møde i FN´s Kommission for Social Udvikling.
Swedish Social Democrat Jan Andersson chairs the Parliament's Employment Committee and has just returned from a session of the UN Commission for Social Development in New York.
Han giver os sit bud på hvad et "anstændigt arbejde" er, samt hvilken rolle EU i den sammenhæng skal spille.
In an exclusive interview he gave us his thoughts on "decent work".
Hvad er din definition af "anstændigt arbejde" ?
What is your definition of "decent work"?
Lønnen er vigtig for fritidslivet, men der er også andre elementer, der er vigtige for arbejdslivet, f.eks. sundhed og sikkerhed.
The salary is important for life outside work, but other elements are important for work, like health and safety.
Er mindsteløn en god måde at fremme anstændigt arbejde på?
Is a minimum wage a way to favour decent work?
- Både ja og nej.
Yes and no.
Det bør ikke være nødvendigt at fokusere på mindsteløn.
You should not focus on a minimum wage.
Der er altid en risiko for, at mindsteløn bliver til maksimumløn.
There is always a risk that the minimum wage becomes the maximum wage.
Mindsteløn skal udgøre en sidste sikkerhed, men man bør samtidig gøre sig klart, at mindstelønEN ikke er målsætningen: Målsætningen er en normal løn, som er bedre end mindsteløn!
You need a minimum wage policy as a last resort, but then you must be very aware that the minimum wage is not the goal: the goal is the normal wage and a better wage than the minimum wage.
Var du tilfreds med mødet i FN, og levede det op til dine forventninger?
Were you satisfied with the outcome of the UN session?
- Jeg ved ikke, om jeg havde nogen forventninger...
Did it live up to your expectations ?
Det var første gang, at jeg besøgte FN.
I do not know if I had any expectations as it was my first visit to the UN.
Vi deltog af forskellige årsager: Jeg synes, at EU og Europa-Parlamentet skal være mere aktive globalt, - ikke kun i relation til sikkerhedspolitik.
We did it for different reasons.
Det handler både om miljøpolitik, handelspolitik og anstændige arbejds- og levevilkår over hele verden.
I think the EU and the European Parliament should be more active at the global level, not only security policy, but also about environmental policy, trade policies and also decent work and decent working conditions all over the world.
Vores målsætning var at skabe kontakter, så Parlamentet kan spille en vigtig rolle i den globale debat...
Our aim was to have contacts so that we as a Parliament can play an important role in the global debate.
Hvis vi ikke skaber en bedre dialog, og hvis vi ikke skaber en bedre situation for arbejderNE rundt omkring i verden, så stiger risikoen for, at Europa tyger til protektionisme, og så vil presset for at lukke de ydre grænser stige.
If we do not have dialogue, and improve conditions for workers around the world, there is a risk that protectionist forces in Europe, who want to close our borders, will grow stronger.
Det er både i vores, og i de mennesker der bor uden for EU interesse, at vi har denne dialog om anstændigt arbejde.
It is in our interest and it is also in the interest of people outside the EU that we have this kind of dialogue on decent work.
Hvad gør EU for at fremme anstændigt arbejde?
How does the EU work to promote decent work?
Det er ikke os, der bestemmer, hvad der forgår i andre lande.
We can't decide what happens in other countries.
Men vi kan starte med at være et godt eksempel...
We can be a good example ourselves.
Vi kan også rejse dette spørgsmål, når vi diskuterer handel...
We could also raise this issue when we discuss trade, we should discuss issues about environmental standards but also social standards.
Skal vi så sige til lande i Afrika, at de skal have den samme politik som os?
Should we then say to countries in Africa "you should have the same rules that we have"?
Der er faste regler som f.eks. ILO-konventionen, (som retten til at være medlem af en organisation imod børnearbejde).
There are core rules like the ILO convention including the right to be part of an organisation and to fight against child labour.
Vi bør promovere ILO og ILO-konventionerne globalt.
We should promote these conventions all over the world.
Hvordan er situationen i EU?
How is the situation in the EU?
- I et globalt perspektiv ser situationen god ud.
In a global perspective it is good.
Men vi bør ikke være for stolte! ...
But we should not be too proud.
Situationen i EU er ikke perfekt, og vi har mange forskellige standarder for anstændigt arbejde i EU.
The situation around the EU is not perfect and we have big differences within the EU.
Den største udfordring består i de langtidsansattes mulighed for at få indflydelse på deres arbejde samt muligheden for livs lang læring.
The main long-term challenges are workers' ability to influence the workplace and lifelong learning.
I nutidens samfund er det vigtigt med en god løn, men det vigtigste er retten til uddannelse.
In today's society, it is important to have a good salary but the main problem is to have the right education.
Jo mere du lærer, des højere løn får du som regel.
The more you learn the better salary you get, usually.
Næste skridt?
What about the informal economy?
- Anstændigt arbejde vil komme op igen.
The black economy is a problem because it is gigantic.
Det vil blive et emne, der vil præge de kommende år.
In many countries the informal economy is bigger than the formal economy.
Arbejde er forbundet med handel og med miljø - og vi ønsker en større debat.
In the EU it is a big problem because it affects the formal economy.
Hvordan påvirker klimaforandringer samt behovet for at ændre vores levevaner arbejdslivet?
It is a challenge for us to limit the black economy as much as possible.

Prins Charles til kamp mod klimaforandringer
Prince Charles in Parliament: "Doomsday clock of climate change is ticking"
Han sagde, at kampen mod globale klimaforandringer ikke kan vindes, medmindre Europa og de europæiske borgere går i front og viser vejen frem.
He said any measures to tackle climate change cannot succeed "without a strong lead from Europe and its citizens".
Europa-Parlamentets formand Hans-Gert Pöttering lovede i sin åbningstale, at han vil forsøge at holde EU-medlemmerne fast på de løfter, som de gav i forbindelse med den nye energipakke.
Welcoming the Prince, Parliament's President Hans-Gert Pöttering vowed that MEPs "would try and hold EU members to the commitments they had made and to pass the new package of measures (such as promoting renewable energy and carbon capture), into law before the European elections in June 2009".
Han roste Prins Charles for sin indsats i kampen mod globale klimaforandringer: "Du var en af de første internationale opinionsdannere, der bidrog til at henlede verdens opmærksomhed mod de trusler, som den globale opvarmning udgør", sagde parlamentsformanden.
He paid a personal tribute to the Prince saying that "you were one of the first international opinion-leaders to draw the world's attention to the threat posed by global warming".
Prins Charles: "Op mod to milliarder vil komme til at mangle vand"
"Doomsday clock of climate change is ticking"
Prins Charles kritiserede EU´s klimaambitioner for at være for slappe.
In his address Prince Charles painted a picture of a world where climate change has taken hold.
Hele 80 procent af CO2-udledningen skal væk i 2050, mente prinsen.
He told MEPs that the "doomsday clock of climate change is ticking ever faster towards midnight.
Han kom under sin tale ind på problemet med den smeltende indlandsis: "I løbet af de sidste få måneder er vi blevet bevidste om, at indlandsisen på Nordpolen smelter så hurtigt, at nogle videnskabsfolk forudser, at den helt vil forsvinde om syvårs tid", sagde han.
We cannot be anything less than courageous and revolutionary in our approach to tackling climate change".
Han mindede forsamlingen om de dystre forudsigelser som FN´s klimapanel kom med sidste år: "Op mod to milliarder mennesker vil komme til at opleve mangel på vandforsyninger, og op mod 30 % af forskellige plante- og dyrearter vil risikere at blive tilintetgjort, hvis de gennemsnitlige temperaturstigninger stabiliserer sig på et niveau mellem 1, 5 - 2,5 graders celsius."
He mentioned the UN's panel of climate change which stated last year "that up to two billion people worldwide will face water shortages, and up to 30 per cent of plant and animal species would be put at risk of extinction, if the average rise in temperature stabilizes between 1.5 and 2.5 degrees".
Skovene er verdens "termostat"
Forests are the world's "Thermostat"
Hvert år ødelægges der 20 millioner hektarer skov, hvilket svarer til et område på størrelse med Storbritannien.
On the scale of the deforestation the Prince painted a shocking picture: "every year 20 million hectares – an area the size of England, Wales and Scotland combined – are destroyed or degraded".
"Vi nødt til at finde en måde at gøre skovene mere værdifulde i live end døde," sagde Prinsen og understregede, at tiden er ved at rinde ud, hvis klimaforandringerne skal forhindres.
He continued on this theme saying that “unbelievable as it might seem, we are destroying our planet's air-conditioning system.
Større samarbejde påkrævet
"Biggest public, private and NGO partnership ever seen"
Ifølge prinsen, var det er en opgave, der krævede "den største grad af samarbejde" mellem det offentlige, det private og NGO`erne.
He added: "It is a task that calls for the biggest public, private and NGO partnership ever seen" said the Prince.
Han roste de 170 globale virksomheder, der forud for Bali-konferecen havde efterspurgt faste juridiske regler for udledningen af CO2.
He noted that before the Bali conference on climate change they had brought together 170 global companies calling for a legally binding framework on emissions which went beyond what was agreed at Bali.
Positiv modtagelse af prinsens tale
MEPs enthusiastic about Princes speech
Europa-Parlamentets Margrete Auken (Gruppen De Grønne/Den Europæiske Fri Alliance, Danmark ) var overrasket over prins Charles' visioner: "Det var en fantastisk tale, sagde hun.
The speech drew a standing ovation from MEPs and others in the room.
"Jeg troede, jeg ville få en sludder for en sladder, men han er højt informeret, og det er langt mere radikalt end det, vi er vant til at høre fra Connie Hedegaard, og hvad vi har vedtaget i Parlamentet", sagde hun.
As people were filing out we spoke to a couple of Members to gauge their reaction.
Dan Jørgensen (De Europæiske Socialdemokraters Gruppe, Danmark), der er næstformand for Parlamentets Miljøudvalg, sagde at "det var meget på linie med hvad der blev besluttet af EU og af Parlamentet om klimaforandringer...
Mr Dan Jørgensen, a Danish Socialist MEP and vice chair of Parliament's Environment committee, said that "it was very much in line with what was decided by the EU and the Parliament on climate change".
Vi er nødt til at fastsætte meget høje målsætninger - både i den offentlige og private sektor."
He also said "we need to set very high goals –both the public and the private sector".
Jeg tror, at han valgte det rette forum for sin tale."
I think he chose the right forum to make a speech".

Parlamentets praktikanter - arbejde og sjov i en multikulturel kontekst
Parliament's Trainees - work and fun in a multinational mix
EP-praktikanterne Konchyta (Spanien) og Matthias (Østrig)
EP Trainees Konchyta (Spain) and Matthias (Austria)
I torsdags startede 385 praktikanter deres praktikophold ved Parlamentet.
Thursday saw some of the 385 young people coming to the end of their 5 month traineeship in the Parliament meet its President Hans-Gert Pöttering .
For mange kan det være første skridt på vejen mod en karriere i EU-institutionerne.
For many it is the start of a career in European affairs, for others it's 5 months living away from home and getting a taste of how the EU Institutions work.
Vi spurgte nogle af de praktikanter, der netop har overstået deres ophold, hvad de fik ud af at være indenfor Parlamentets mure.
Places are highly sought after - these trainees were chosen from 4,628 applicants.
Europa-Parlamentets formand, Hans-Gert Pöttering understregede behovet for ungdommens deltagelse i det europæiske projekt, da han for nylig mødte en gruppe af Parlamentets stagiares: "Vi har brug for jeres engagement - engagementet fra den unge generation, der støtter europæisk enhed".
Parliament's President Hans-Gert Pöttering stressed the importance of young people to the European project when he recently met a group of stagiares.
Der findes både betalte og ubetalte praktikantstillinger på det såkaldte ´Robert Schuman-program´ - størstedelen er dog betalte.
He told them, "we need your engagement, the engagement of the young generation in favour of European unity".
Lønnede praktikantophold er forbeholdt personer med eksamensbevis fra universitet eller anden højere læreanstalt.
There are paid and unpaid traineeships - however the majority are paid.
Opholdet skal give praktikanterne mulighed for at supplere de kundskaber, de har erhvervet under studiet, og give dem indsigt i EU´s og specielt Europa-Parlamentets virksomhed.
Those who take a paid placement in the Parliament are known as Robert Schuman Scholars.
