Behov for en EU-plan til bekæmpelse af homofobi
The rules concern only to those who choose to seek treatment abroad.
"EU-institutionerne og medlemsstaterne har pligt til at sikre, at menneskerettighederne respekteres, beskyttes og fremmes i Den Europæiske Union", uden forskelsbehandling på grundlag af seksuel orientering, understreger MEP´erne.
The European Health Insurance Card scheme will continue to apply for citizens who require urgent treatment when visiting another EU country.

Viktor Orbán kom indledningsvist ind på 1956-opstanden og den efterfølgende kommunistiske undertrykkelse.
The debate became quite heated at times as Mr Orbán came in for criticism over Hungary's controversial media law.
"Krisen kan kun overvindes gennem øget beskæftigelse, fornuftig forvaltning af økonomien og ved ikke at gældsætte vores børn", vurderede Orbán.
On current problems, he focused on indebtedness, saying it can only be overcome through employment, prudent economic management and not indebting our children's future.
Han støttede EU-planen om at ændre Lissabontraktaten og indføre en permanent krisemekanisme inden 2013.
He also pointed to the need to modify the Lisbon Treaty in order to introduce the planned permanent crisis mechanism by 2013.
Herudover understregede han behovet for bedre økonomisk koordination, vækstorienterede tiltag, bæredygtig jobskabelse, deregulering og bedre forhold for små og mellemstore virksomheder.
In this field, his speech ranged over better economic policy coordination, economic growth, sustainable creation of jobs, deregulation and the creation of a supportive business environment for small and medium size enterprises.
Fremtidige EU-udvidelser og Schengen-samarbejdet
Enlargement – He said that there is a fear of enlargement in Europe.
Angående den forestående EU-udvidelse med Kroatien sagde Orbán: "Jeg mener, at det er uretfærdigt, at Kroatien stadig holdes uden for EU".
"I find it unjust that Croatia is still outside the EU.
Han håbede, at det ungarske formandskab ville være i stand til at underskrive tiltrædelsestraktaten med Kroatien inden for de kommende seks måneder.
Orbán wants Croatia's accession treaty to be signed by the end of the Hungarian presidency.
Han gentog desuden sin støtte til Bulgariens og Rumæniens ønske om at tiltræde Schengen-samarbejdet så hurtigt som muligt.
He reiterated support for Bulgaria and Romania to join Schengen as soon as possible.
Den ungarske medielov Orbán gentog sin vilje til at ændre den nye ungarske medielov, såfremt Kommissionen finder, at den er i strid med europæisk lovgivning.
Hungarian Media Act – Orbán reiterated his government's readiness to modify the Media Act, if the European Commission requires it to do so to ensure its conformity with European law.
Angående den nye medielov sagde Barroso: "Princippet om pressefrihed er helligt for EU".
On the media law he said "the principle of press freedom is a sacred one for the EU" .
Han mindede MEP`erne om, at den ungarske regering har givet tilsagn om, at man er villig til at ændre medieloven, såfremt Kommissionen finder, at det er nødvendigt.
He said Hungary has said "adjustments will be made" if after assessing the law the Commission decides that it is necessary.
"Måske er det ligefrem en god ting, at de to formandskaber i 2011 vil blive ledet af to lande [Ungarn og Polen], som ikke er med i eurosamarbejdet, men som ønsker at indtræde så hurtigt som muligt.
"It is perhaps a good thing that the two presidencies in 2011 will be taken on by countries (Hungary and Poland) who don't belong to the euro, but who are thinking of coming in very quickly.
De har selv en interesse i en stabil valuta", vurderede han.
They have an interest in stability of the currency".
Den tyske leder af socialdemokraternes gruppe Martin Schulz mente ikke, at den ungarske medielov var i overensstemmelse med EU-reglerne: "I et demokrati er det medierne, der overvåger magthaverne.
German Member Martin Schulz (S&D) said the media law was not in line with European rule of law: " In democracy it's the media that scrutinises power.
Hvad du gør med denne lov er at overvåge medierne".
What you are doing is that the power is scrutinizing the media".
"Hvis du ikke ønsker, at dette emne skal dominere det ungarske formandskab, så træk det [lovforslaget] tilbage og kom med et nyt og mere afbalanceret forslag".
He said he didn't want the topic to dominate the Hungarian Presidency saying "withdraw your act and come back with better new balanced one".
Men han var kritisk i forhold til medieloven, som han så som en trussel mod mediepluralisme.
On the media law issue he said "the aim of media governance is not to guarantee proper and adequate information, it's to uphold pluralism and guarantee that any initiative can be developed."
Daniel Cohn-Bendit (De Grønne/EFA) sagde, at selvom han anså Orban som en politiker, der fortjente respekt, så viste hans støtte til medieloven, at han "ikke forstod essensen af og strukturen i et demokrati".
French MEP Daniel Cohn-Bendit (Greens/EFA) said that "Orbán is a politician who is worth respect", but the media law shows that today he "does not understand the nature and the structure of democracy".
"Et stærkt Europa er nødt til at være troværdigt" og "grundlaget for demokrati er ytringsfrihed", fastslog Cohn-Bendit.
"A strong Europe has to be credible" and "the basis of democracy is freedom of expression".
Medlemmerne af Parlamentets grønne gruppe havde forud for mødet med den ungarske premierminister lavet en aktion, hvor de med tape på munden og plakater med titlen "Censureret" protesterede mod Ungarns kontroversielle medielov.
MEPs from the Greens had greeted the Hungarian Prime Minister with tape over their mouths and holding placards with the script "Censored" to protest against Hungary's adoption of its controversial Media Act last December.
Lajos Bokros (ECR, Ungarn) kritiserede flere af den ungarske regerings tiltag, som f.eks. nedlæggelsen af landets budgetråd og nationaliseringen af private pensionsordninger: "Der er en risiko for, at alle disse foranstaltninger vil aflede opmærksomheden fra det ungarske formandskab, hvilket er en skam".
Hungarian MEP Lajos Bokros (ECR) pointed out recent adopted governmental 'measures against solidarity' (for example the elimination of the budget council, nationalisation of private pension system) and said "there is a risk that all these measures will distract the attention from the Hungarian Presidency and that's a terrible shame"
Tyske Lothar Bisky (NGL) mente heller ikke, at det var op til regeringen at styre medierne.
Lothar Bisky, a German MEPs from the GUE/NGL group agreed that it is not up to the government to control the media.
Bisky mente til gengæld, at det ungarske formandskab kunne bringe ny luft ind i det europæiske samarbejde: "EU er stadig primært et vesteuropæisk anliggende, og vi er på udkig efter flere østeuropæiske input".
He went on to say that "the EU is still primarily a West-European affair and we are looking for more Eastern-European input from your presidency".
Britiske Nigel Farage (EFD) sammenlignede EU med Sovjetunionen, som Orban kæmpede imod for 20 år siden: "Du vil møde masser af kommunister i de næste 6 måneder, inklusive Barroso".
British MEP Nigel Farage (EFD) compared the EU to the Soviet Union that Orbán was fighting against 20 years ago: "You will meet lots of communists in the next 6 months including Mr Barroso".
Han opfordrede Orban til at kæmpe for EU-demokratiet.
He appealed on Orbán to wake up and stand for EU democracy.
I sine afsluttende bemærkninger beklagede premierminister Orbán, at misforståelser omkring medieloven havde kørt diskussionen af sporet.
In his closing remarks, Mr Orbán referred to the media law, regretting misunderstandings which had taken the discussion off track", but said he puts his "faith in the Commission" to come with "a solution for this problem, which I will accept".
Han beklagede den tone, som nogen af talerne havde lagt for dagen.
He deplored the "offence" caused by some speakers to Hungary and Hungarians "by saying that we are heading towards dictatorship".
Han gentog sin vilje til at ændre loven, såfremt Kommissionen finder, at den er i strid med europæisk lovgivning.

A man shows the 'Victory' sign from a barred window of a prison in Minsk, Belarus, in which detained participants from the 19 December protests have been held and of whom some were released on 29 December 2010. ©BELGA The EU must impose a travel ban and asset freeze on Belarusian officials, judges and security officers Further targeted economic sanctions against the government should be considered The EU must impose a travel ban and asset freeze on Belarusian officials, judges and security officers involved in the violent election crackdown of 19 December 2010, say MEPs in a resolution adopted on Thursday.
En ophævelse af disse sanktioner skal gøres afhængig af løsladelse af fængslede oppositionsledere.
Lifting these measures should be conditional upon the release of imprisoned opposition leaders, they add.
Resolutionen fordømmer i stærke vendinger politiets og KGB's brutale fremfærd på valgdagen og opfordrer til en "uafhængig og upartisk international undersøgelse af begivenhederne" under OSCE's auspicier.
The resolution condemns in the strongest terms possible the brutal repression by the police and KGB on Election Day and "calls for an independent and impartial international investigation into the events" under the OSCE auspices.

MEPs also demand a re-run of the elections in accordance with international standards.
Skrappe sanktioner
Tough sanctions

These sanctions, they say, should remain in force "minimum until all political prisoners and detainees are released".
Støtte til oppositionsbevægelsen
Support the opposition movement
EU skal lette visumadgangen for hviderussiske borgere og udbygge sin finansielle støtte til uafhængige medier (såsom TV Belsat, European Radio for Belarus og Radio Racja) og NGO'er, der fremmer demokrati og modarbejder regimet.
The EU must ease visa access to the EU for Belarusian citizens and amplify its financial support to independent media (such as TV Belsat, European Radio for Belarus or Radio Racja) and NGOs promoting democracy and opposing the regime.

Dan Preda om situationen i Côte d'Ivoire
Ivory Coast: Election observer Preda calls for verdict to be recognised
Det internationale samfund har anerkendt valgsejren til udfordreren, Alassane Ouattara, men landets siddende præsident, Laurent Gbagbo, nægter at anerkende valgresultatet.
The UN, EU and the Economic Community Of West African States (ECOWAS) have accepted Ouattara as the victor and called on Gbagbo to step aside.
Vi mødte Cristian Dan Preda (EPP, Rumænien), som stod i spidsen for Europa-Parlamentets valgobservatørmission.
We spoke to the head of the European Parliament's election observation mission to Ivory Coast, Cristian Dan Preda (EPP), about the situation.
Den vold, som der opstod i kølevandet på præsidentvalget, har ført til flere hundrede dødsfald og nogle iagttagere frygter, at landet vil blive kastet ud i endnu en blodig borgerkrig.
He warned that the situation could escalate and noted that at least 200 people have died in election-related violence since 28 November.
I øjeblikket befinder Ouattara sig på et hotel, der beskyttes af FN-tropper, mens Gbagbo befinder sig i præsidentbygningen, der beskyttes af den ivorianske hær.
The election result recognised by the United Nations gives Mr Ouattara 54.1% of the votes and Mr Gbagbo 45.9%.
Parlamentets delegationsleder Cristian Dan Preda advarer: "Risikoen for en optrapning af volden kan ikke udelukkes.
A delegation of senior officials from neighbouring countries have met Mr Gbagbo and tried and failed to get him to step aside.
Vi må ikke glemme, at der allerede er en tilstand af latent vold, som siden den 28. november har kostet over 200 mennesker livet".
The Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan is believed to be leading the West African mediation efforts.
Svære forhandlinger
Sanctions and Gbagbo assets frozen
En afrikansk delegation har løbende været i kontakt med præsident Gbagbo for at aftale en magtoverdragelse, men hidtil uden held.
In December the European Parliament passed a resolution calling on Mr Gbagbo to stand aside.
Cristian Dan Preda mener, at man i første omgang skal forsøge at forhandle via det regionale diplomati, og hvis det ikke virker, bør sagen overdrages til FN´s Sikkerhedsråd.
It also threw its weight behind collective measures being taken by EU governments to implement sanctions against the Gbagbo regime and freeze the assets and revoke the visa of Mr Gbagbo and his advisers.
Den Europæiske Union har reageret i henhold hertil ved at vedtage sanktioner mod dem, der blokerer for en politisk normalisering", fastslår Cristian Dan Preda.
Cristian Dan Preda said, the ex-President "must accept the verdict of the ballot box".
Europa-Parlamentet støtter EU's beslutning om at indføre sanktioner mod Laurent Gbagbo og glæder sig over Rådets beslutning om at indføre "målrettede foranstaltninger mod dem, som forhindrer fredsprocessen og den nationale forsoning og især dem, der bringer valgprocessens udfald i fare", hedder det i beslutningen.
He stressed the need for "negotiations and sanctions" to resolve the situation and noted, "it is not often that the international community speak with one voice" as they are doing over Ivory Coast.
45,9 % af stemmerne gik til Gbagbo
Its people will be hoping for a successful resolution of this crisis as soon as possible.

Human Rights Subcommittee discusses Russian Khodorkovsky case
Mikhail Khodorkovsky kort efter domfældelsen den 30. december 2010 ©BELGA Medlemmerne af Europa-Parlamentets underudvalg om menneskerettigheder var stærkt kritiske over domfældelsen af den tidligere russiske oligark og oppositionsleder, Michail Khodorkovskij, da de mandag drøftede dommen.
Former Yukos oil company CEO Mikhail Khodorkovsky is seen in the defendants' cage just after a verdict during a court session in Moscow on December 30, 2010. ©BELGA Kremlin critic Michail Khodorkovsky convicted of more charges prior to Christmas Sentences condemned by MEPs A "missed opportunity" and a "severe setback" were just two of the opinions voiced when MEPs on the Human Rights Sub Committee discussed the case of Russian former oligarch turned Kremlin critic Michail Khodorkovsky.
Mandag den 10. januar gæstede Khodorkovskij´s advokat, Maria Logan, Parlamentets menneskerettighedsudvalg for at drøfte sagen.
Maria Logan of the Khodorkovsky legal team was also present on 10 January to discuss the case.
"Khodorkovsky-sagen viser med al tydelighed, at man ikke kan regne med, at de russiske domstole vil beskytte en i sager mod regeringen", sagde Logan.
Speaking to those assembled Maria Logan noted: "The Khodorkovsky case clearly shows that you cannot count on the Courts to protect you against the government of Russia."
Hun bemærkede, at flere centrale politikere i både Europa og USA har udtrykt deres støtte til Khodorkovsky-familien og kritiseret de mulige politiske motiver bag dommen.
She noted that after the trial, many leading politicians from the EU and the USA criticised the political motives behind the case and showed support to the Khodorkovsky family.
