Alanis Morrissette
Singer and activist Alanis Morissette, Monday 26 May 08
Alanis Morissette er kendt for sange som "Ironic" og "All I really want".
Alanis Morissette, known best for her songs "Ironic" or "All I really want" was at the European Parliament on Monday night for the Energy Globe Award.
Nu er det blevet en slags mainstream-ting, men for et par år siden var det kun mig og Red Hot Chili Peppers, der betalte for det - hvilket var ret sejt!
Now it has become a sort of a commonplace thing, but a few years ago the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and myself were paying for it ourselves - so that was cool.

To MEP´er om den finansielle krise
Economic MEPs speak on financial market turmoil
Uro på de internationale finansmarkeder
The grim view from Frankfurt in January this year
Således beskrev den franske MEP Pervenche Berès, der er formand for Udvalget om Økonomi og Valuta, den aktuelle krise på de internationale finansmarkeder.
"After 10 long months, we see no end to the crisis...it is spreading beyond the financial sector," was how Committee Chair Pervenche Berès described the situation.
Margarita Starkevičiūtė (Alliancen af Liberale og Demokrater for Europa, Litauen):
Margarita Starkevičiūtė : The financial system provides blood for the economy.
"Enhver destabiliserende faktor i det finansielle system har indflydelse på hele økonomien.
Any disruption has an impact on the real economy.
Det begyndte med problemer i forskellige sektorer, især på bygge - og boligområdet.
Now we feel some problems in the different sectors of the body of the economy, mainly in the housing and construction sector, which influence the wealth of people.
I Den Europæiske Union har vi to forskellige bankmodeller.
MS : In the EU we have two different banking models.
Den første anvendes hovedsagelig i de kontinentale lande og er baseret på indskud.
The first relies mostly on retail deposits.
Med støtte fra Den Europæiske Centralbank eller de nationale centralbanker er disse banker i stand til at klare kriser fordi de har vedvarende adgang til kapital".
With the assistance of ECB or national central banks these banks can manage the crisis well, because they still have a constant source of deposits.
Ieke van den Burg (PSE, Holland): "Det er hvad vi kalder "moral hazard".
Banks gamble, but do we end up paying the bill?
Gevinsterne og bonusserne går til private, men tabene bliver overdraget til samfundet.
IvdB : This is what we call moral hazard: the rewards and bonuses are private, but the losses are transferred to the community.
Men vi kan ikke bare sige: "Lad dem om at løse det hele selv og lad aktionærerne bløde.
However, we can not just say: 'Let them solve it themselves and let the shareholders bleed'.
Hvis Northern Rock var brudt sammen, ville konsekvenserne have været katastrofale.
For instance, in the case of Northern Rock, if it had collapsed, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Derfor er regeringerne nødt til at træffe deres foranstaltninger".
That is why governments need to take measures.
Tilsyn med de finansielle markeder
Will taxpayers have to prop up the existing system?
Ieke van den Burg : "Vi har behov for en strengere overvågning af bankerne.
Ieke van den Burg and Romanian Liberal Daniel Dăianu are are currenly preparing a report on the Future Structure of Supervision.
En overvågning der fokuserer på de vigtigste aktører, fordi det er dem, der udgør de systematiske risici for den finansielle stabilitet.
IvdB : We need tighter control on the banks and that should be focused on the big players – they form the major systemic risk for financial stability.
Der er 40 store banker i Den Europæiske Union, og de fleste af dem er baseret i London.
In the EU there are around 40 of them, based mainly in London.
Jeg går ind for en overvågningsmekanisme på europæisk plan.
I would prefer supervision at European level.
Finansiel ombudsmand
How can we shore up consumer spending?
Margarita Starkevičiūtė : "Vi har brug for et omfattende og sammenhængende system for indlånssikkerhed, så kunderne er tilstrækkeligt beskyttet i tilfælde af insolvens hos pengeinstitutterne, og så regeringerne ikke behøver at gribe ind. Parlamentet forslår oprettelsen af en finansiel ombudsmand, ligesom i Storbritannien.
MS : We have to create a good comprehensive and coherent system of deposit insurance, so that if banks fall in future, the customers will be sufficiently protected and governments won’t have to intervene.
Folk vil kunne henvende sig til ham, når de har problemer med bankerne.
Parliament is suggesting a national financial ombudsman, like in the UK.
Det vil bidrage til at beskytte befolkningens rettigheder".
People could apply to him when they have problems with banks it would protect their rights.

Annan, Gorbatjov og Pöttering går til kamp mod klimaændringer
Annan, Gorbachev tell energy conference of need for change
Kofi Annan: Klimaændringer udgør en trussel mod sikkerheden
Kofi Annan called for people to change
Budskabet fra Energy Globe-konferencen tirsdag den 27. maj var, at vi skal stoppe med at bruge løs af energikilderne uden at tænke på fremtiden.
Climate change is a threat not just to the environment, but to peace and security as states compete for resources.
Mandag aften var Parlamentet vært for uddelingen af Energy Globe Awards, der belønner projekter, som fremmer brug af ren og vedvarende energi.
The conference, organised by the Industry, Research and Energy Committee and the Energy Globe Foundation - was intended to raise awareness of problems and publicise best practices.
"Vi kan let opnå en mere effektiv udnyttelse af energien," sagde parlamentsformand Hans-Gert Pöttering ved åbningen af konferencen.
Kofi Annan told gathered MEPs that climate change should join "traditional political threats like conflict, poverty, terrorism and deadly weapons".
Den 20 % stigning i energieffektiviteten, som er en del af EU's overordnede mål for 2020, er "fuldt opnåelig" - også uden at det vil gå ud over velfærd eller produktion.
Quoting UK scientist Nicholas Stern he said it could lead to a contraction in the global economy by 20% and lead to economic and social destruction comparable to the two World Wars.
Formand for Udvalget om Industri, Forskning og Energi , Angelika Niebler, understregede også vigtigheden af EU´s klima- og energipakke: "Det vil kun lykkes, hvis vi investerer massivt i innovative teknologier.
The former UN Secretary General and Nobel Prize winner said that with current trends we are heading to the point of no return.
Der eksisterer et enormt energibesparelsespotentiale, særligt indenfor transportsektoren", sagde hun.
He added, "if we continue consuming energy at the rate we do today, then by 2030 we will need 50% more.
For tidligere FN-generalsekretær, Kofi Annan, er klimaændringer ikke blot en trussel mod miljøet men også mod fred og sikkerhed.
He said that better use of fossil fuels and more use of renewable sources of energy could point the way to a better future.
"Så vi kan ikke sige, at vi ikke har råd til at skære ned på udledningerne - det vil koste meget mindre at udlede mindre nu end at betale for konsekvenserne senere", sagde han.
Individuals and businesses need to change their behaviour."
Gorbatjov opfordrer til grøn glasnost
Gorbachev calls for green glasnost
Mikhail Gorbachev, Sovjetunionens tidligere præsident og nuværende formand den politiske tænketank ´The Gorbatjov Foundation,´ lagde i sin tale vægt på hans personlige oplevelser og baggrunden for hans engagement i den energipolitiske debat.
Former Soviet premier Mikhail Gorbachev told the conference that his personal experience on the Ukrainian Steppes as a boy had shown him how once fertile land could be wiped clean by drought and dust storms.
Han forklarede, hvordan han som landbrugsminister i Sovjetunionen blev bekendt med de kolossale skader, der blev påført miljøet i bestræbelserne på at oprette et effektivt landbrug og argumenterede for, at Europa havde meget at lære fra tidligere erfaringer og fejltrin fra USSR´s side.
He also said that his experience as Soviet Agriculture Minister had shown him how much damage was being done to the environment - but this remained hidden through secrecy.
Gorbatjov opfordrede til "glasnost" til fordel for miljøet: "Glasnost handler om mennesker, gennemsigtighed og mobilisering af regeringen og befolkningen".
Mr Gorbachev called for an environmental glasnost as "glasnost involves people and transparency and the mobilisation of the government and the people".
Han beklagede den holdning, Vesten indtog i forhold til Sovjetunionen og de udfordringer, der var i 1980'erne.
Angelika Niebler invoked the European Union's own environmental targets to be met by 2020 and said that "we want to make sure there are no losers.
"Hvis vi har den samme holdning til udviklingslandene, som der var i forhold til USSR, vil vi gå en katastrofe i møde," advarede han.
He told guests that "many of our creative efforts concentrate on reducing CO2 and renewable energies, but we fail to concentrate on that which is the most accessible to us: energy saving.

Annan, Gorbatjov og Parlamentets formand til Energy Globe Awards
Annan, Gorbachev join EP President at Energy Globe Awards
Vi skal stoppe med at bruge løs af energikilderne uden at tænke på fremtiden.
Stop exploiting energy “as if there's no tomorrow”.
Mandag aften var Parlamentet vært for uddelingen af Energy Globe Awards, der belønner projekter, som fremmer brug at ren og vedvarende energi i hele verden.
“More effective energy use is something we can easily achieve”, said Mr Pöttering, launching the Global Energy Conference on awareness-raising and energy efficiency.
"Vi kan let opnå en mere effektiv udnyttelse af energien," sagde Hans-Gert Pöttering ved åbningen af konferencen tirsdag.
The twenty percent increase in energy efficiency (one of the three pillars of the EU's 20/20/20 by 2020 target), he added, “is completely attainable” – this, “without a drop in well being or production”.
Den 20 %stigning i energieffektiviteten, som er en del af EU's overordnede mål for 2020, er ifølge Pöttering "fuldt opnåelig" - også uden at det vil gå ud over velfærd eller produktion.
The previous day, the European Parliament's plenary hall in Brussels played host to the 9th Energy Globe Awards, which celebrated projects promoting the use of clean and renewable energies from around the world.
Den videnskabelige konsensus, der er i forhold til klimaændringerne, er ifølge Annan ikke blot mere omfattende, men også mere og mere alarmerende.
The scientific consensus, according to Mr Annan, is becoming “not only more complete, but more alarming”.
Gorbatjovs grønne glasnost
Gorbachev's green glasnost
Nobelprismodtageren fra 1990, Mikhail Gorbatjov talte også under konferencen - og delte ud af sine personlige erfaringer - både som en ung mand, som voksede op i Stavropol og som et fremadstormende politiker i Kommunistpartiet, og forklarede, hvordan hans forståelse for klimaforandringer var vokset gennem årene, og fik ham i 1993 til at oprette gruppen Green Cross International.
1990 Nobel laureate Mikhail Gorbachev, also speaking at the conference, drew on personal experience - both as a young man growing up in Stavropol and a rising star in the Communist Party - to explain how his understanding and appreciation of climate change grew over the years (leading him to found, in 1993, Green Cross International, an advocacy group).
Han argumenterede for, at Europa havde meget at lære fra tidligere erfaringer og fejltrin fra USSR, hvor miljø var det emne, der optog folk mest i midten af 1980'erne - under Gorbatjovs glasnost.
Europe, he later argued, had a lot to learn from the experience (and errors) of the USSR, where - by the mid-80s, under Gorbachev's glasnost - the "number one issue [on people's minds] was the environment".
Han beklagede den holdning, Vesten indtog i forhold til Sovjetunionen og de udfordringer, der var i 1980'erne.
Complaining about the attitude that the West took vis-à-vis the Soviet Union and the challenges it faced throughout the 1980s, he warned: “if we take the same attitude towards developing countries as we did towards the USSR”, we will face "a catastrophe."
"Hvis vi har den samme holdning til udviklingslande, som der var i forhold til USSR, vil vi gå en katastrofe i møde," advarede han.
Our European friends seemed to have liked Russia under Yeltsin, he complained, switching gears; they “liked seeing Russia in that sort of bad shape”.
Han beklagede også at "de europæiske venner" under Jeltsin-perioden "nød at se Rusland i dårlig form."
Today, however, added the last leader of the USSR , “Russia is resurgent”.
Han forsikrede, at Rusland i dag er på vej tilbage, og plæderede i den forbindelse for en ny aftale mellem EU og Rusland.
That said, Mr Gorbachev urged “a new agreement between the EU and Russia.”
Han noterede sig dog, at hver gang en aftale var ved at komme i stand, står noget eller 'nogen' i vejen, og understregede, at det ikke fungerer, hvis et land kan have veto på disse områder.
Yet, he noted, "every time we've come close to an agreement," something or someone has stood in the way.
Galaaftenen: priser til miljøvenlige projekter
The Gala: celebrities on hand to reward eco-friendly projects
Mandag aften blev priserne i Energy Globe Awards uddelt i plenarsalen i Europa-Parlamentet under en galaaften med deltagelse af Hans-Gert Pöttering, José Manuel Barroso, Janez Janša, Kofi Annan and Mikhail Gorbatjov og med underholdning af Zucchero, Dionne Warwick og Alanis Morisette.

Look ahead: MEPs hold 2 days of debates in Brussels Look ahead: MEPs hold 2 days of debates in Brussels
Ulovligt fiskeri, finansielle tjenesteydelser og strukturen i EU´s udenrigspolitik efter Lissabon-traktatens ikrafttræden er blot tre af de emner, der i denne uge drøftes, når Europa-Parlamentets medlemmer mødes til parlamentssamling i Bruxelles.
Foreign policy and defence, illegal fishing and financial services are just three items being debated this week when MEPs hold debates in Brussels.
Det kommende EU-USA-topmøde, situationen i Georgien samt EU's relationer til landene i Middelhavsområdet vil også være til debat.
Also under discussion will be the results of the last EU-US Summit, the deteriorating situation in Georgia and the Union's relations with Mediterranean countries - the so called Barcelona process.
Du kan følge parlamentssamlingen direkte her på hjemmesiden.
All of the debates can be watched live here on the parliament's website - where you can also read all the news from the Chamber.
Udenrigspolitik : Samlingen åbnes kl. 15.00 med en fælles debat om europæisk udenrigspolitik.
Wednesday 4 June F oreign policy: The session opens at 3pm with a joint debate on foreign policy, security and defence.
EU´s højtstående repræsentant for udenrigsanliggender, Javier Solana, vil deltage i diskussionen.
High Representative for Foreign Affairs Javier Solana will take part in the debate.
Medlemmer af Udenrigsudvalget fremhæver den øgede effektivitet, som Lissabon-traktaten vil give EU´s fælles udenrigspolitik men peger samtidig på behovet for øget parlamentarisk kontrol og demokratisk legitimitet.
The Foreign Affairs Committee highlights the increased effectiveness the Lisbon Treaty could give to the EU's foreign policy, while also pointing to the need for increased parliamentary scrutiny and democratic legitimacy in the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP).
Udvalgets holdning er gengivet i to initiativbetænkninger, hvor MEP'erne påpeger, at "det kommende embede som højtstående repræsentant/næstformand i Kommissionen vil aflede sin legitimitet direkte fra Europa-Parlamentet".
The Committee's stance is set out in two own initiative reports.
EU-USA-topmøde : Parlamentet vil drøfte det kommende EU-USA-topmøde, der afholdes i Slovenien den 9. og 10. juni.
EU-US Summit: Parliament will debate the forthcoming EU-US Summit to be held in Slovenia on 9 and 10 June.
Topmødet vil være centreret om følgende nøgleområder: Regionale og politiske spørgsmål, globale sikkerhedspolitiske spørgsmål, nutidens globale udfordringer samt det transatlantiske partnerskab.
The summit will centre on the following key areas: Regional and political issues, global security issues, present-day global challenges and bilateral transatlantic partnership.
USA vil være repræsenteret - for sidste gang - af præsident George W. Bush og udenrigsminister Condoleezza Rice.
MEPs in the committee propose several amendments concerning the Community list of IUU fishing vessels, the inspections to be carried out and the sanctions and other measures to be imposed by Member States.
Finansielle tjenesteydelser : MEP'erne vil også onsdag diskutere konkurrence i detailhandlen og finansielle tjenesteydelser.
Financial services: MEPs will then debate competition, retail and financial services.
Forbrugerne bør have flere valgmuligheder og betale mindre for bankernes finansielle ydelser.
Consumers should have more choice in, and pay less for, banking and financial services.
En måde at gøre dette på er ved at udjævne forskellene mellem de nationale regler.
One way to do this is to reduce the differences between national regulations.
To betænkninger understreger betydningen af at forbedre "den finansielle analfabetisme" blandt forbrugerne.
The reports also stress the importance of improving financial literacy among consumers.
Kommissionen vedtog den 20. maj at udbygge forbindelserne med sine partnere i Middelhavsområdet.
The European Commission adopted proposals on 20 May 2008 for upgrading relations with its Mediterranean partners through the Barcelona Process: Union for the Mediterranean.
Forholdet til middelhavslandende formodes at være en vigtig prioritet for det franske formandskab, der tiltræder i andet halvår af 2008.
The relationship is likely to be a priority of the French Presidency during the second half of 2008.
Georgien: MEP'erne vil stemme om en beslutning om den forværrede situation i Georgien.
MEPs will vote on a resolution on this topic.
