Afstemningen om et tredje forslag om bustransport blev udsat til en senere samling.
Fairer international trade rules and an assessment of the effects of speculation on food prices are also underlined by MEPs in a joint resolution adopted in Strasbourg.
Forordningen skal erstatte et eksisterende direktiv.
The Council should step up its commitments to the Millennium Development Goals by adopting an EU MDG Agenda for Action at the June European Council.
Det er også meningen, at der skal være gensidig anerkendelse af kvalifikationer.
An impact assessment of the role of retailers in the food chain, as retail food prices is also called by MEPs.
I afstemningen onsdag var Parlamentet desuden med til at stramme op på reglerne for opbevaring og udlevering af data i de nationale transportregistre for at beskytte enkeltpersoner.
MEPs call on the Commission and the Member States to do more to promote the use and production of second‑generation bio-energy.
I den betænkning af Mattieu GROSCH (PPE-DE, BE), som blev vedtaget med stort flertal (499 for, 153 imod og 46 hverken for eller imod) var spørgsmålet om carbotagekørsel det centrale.
The House calls for an urgent and substantial increase in investment in agriculture, aquaculture, rural development and agribusinesses in developing countries, focused on poor farmers and small‑scale farming.
Carbotagekørsel er, når en vognmand transporterer gods mellem to destinationer i et andet land, end der hvor han er registreret.
75% of the world’s poor population lives in rural areas, but that only 4% of official development assistance (ODA) is dedicated to agriculture.
I det indre marked er reglerne for transport mellem medlemslandene fuldstændig liberaliseret, men der er stadig nogle begrænsninger i forhold til cabotagekørsel.
Small farmers in poor countries, who are mainly women, need to have access to land, financial services and credit, high-yield seeds, irrigation systems and fertilisers, says the resolution.
MEP'erne var enige i EU-Kommissionen i, at vognmændene skulle have mulighed for inden for syv dage at udføre op til tre cabotagekørsler.
MEPs call on the EIB to investigate possibilities for the immediate setting up of a guarantee fund in support of national micro-credit and loan schemes and risk-hedging schemes that operate close to the needs of local food producers.

Forbud mod eksport af kviksølv fra 2011
"Transform priorities and time-lines into reform plans," say MEPs to Turkey
Det skal være forbudt at eksportere kviksølv og kviksølvforbindelser fra EU fra 15. marts 2011.
The own-initiative report, drawn up by Ria Oomen-Ruijten (EPP-ED, NL), "welcomes the commitment of Prime Minister Erdogan that 2008 is going to be the year of reforms" and "urges the Turkish government to fulfil its promises" by implementing them.
Parlamentet bakkede onsdag i andenbehandlingen op om en aftale, der indfører eksportforbud og nye regler for sikker oplagring af kviksølv fra 2011.
While the Parliament stresses that "modernisation is first and foremost in Turkey's own interest," it also notes that "further delays will seriously affect the pace of negotiations."
Eksportforbuddet vil på opfordring fra Parlamentets miljøudvalg også komme til at omfatte kviksølvforbindelser.
The report also considers the recently adopted changes to Article 301 of the Penal Code to be a "first step towards a fundamental reform of that article as well as other articles of the Penal Code, and looks forward to further moves in this respect."
Mere sikker oplagring
The Kurdish question
EU har igennem en årrække gjort meget for at begrænse brugen af kviksølv, som samtidig betyder, at der bliver opbygget lagre af tungmetallet, som i mange tilfælde bliver eksporteret til udviklingslande, hvor sikkerhedsstandarderne ofte er nærmest ikke-eksisterende.
While considering that a possible ban of the DTP would be "counterproductive to a political solution," and deploring the "many court cases brought against elected mayors and other politicians for using the Kurdish language," as well as the recent conviction of Leyla Zana, the report "calls upon the DTP party, its members of parliament and mayors to distance themselves clearly from the PKK," and calls on the PKK to declare and respect an immediate ceasefire.
Det vil være slut med det nye eksportforbud.
At the same time, MEPs also urged Turkey "not to engage in any disproportionate military operations violating Iraq's territory."
Kommissionen skal se nærmere på forbud mod import
Gender issues
I det kompromis, som Parlamentet og Rådet blev enige om, lægges der op til, at Kommissionen sammen med medlemslandene og de relevante interessenter inden 2010 skal undersøge behovet for også at indføre et importforbud.
In light of the drafting of a new constitution, the report stresses that it should "ensure gender equality, avoid the use of vague criteria such as general morality, refrain from perceiving women primarily as family or community members and reaffirm women's human rights as their individual rights."
Et forbud mod import af kviksølv var et af de ønsker, som Parlamentet ikke fik igennem i forhandlingerne med Rådet.
It also notes "the disappointment and concern of part of the population that the lifting of the ban on wearing headscarves in universities was not part of a broader package of reform based on a wide ranging consultation of civil society."
Da det er andenbehandling, skulle hvert ændringsforslag (også de forslag der var omfattet af kompromiset) vedtages med absolut flertal, dvs. et flertal af samtlige 785 medlemmer, og ikke kun af de tilstedeværende medlemmer.
During the debate held on Wednesday morning, speakers of political groups from all over the political spectrum defended Joost Lagendijk (Greens/EFA, NL), the Chair of the EP Delegation for relations with Turkey, who has come under attack from Turkish opposition party CHP in the past few weeks.
Farlige stoffer
Debate preceding the vote
I EU forekommer kviksølv især som biprodukt fra rensning af naturgas, som genbrugt kviksølv fra kviksølvholdige produkter, som f.eks. lysstofrør, batterier, tandfyldninger eller måle- og kontroludstyr, og kan også komme fra genbrug af affald.
In the debate on Wednesday morning, rapporteur Ria Oomen-Ruijten (EPP-ED, NL) said: "Since the last report, we have seen some very positive developments in Turkey (the Law on Foundations, some reform of Article 301).
Det er mest brugt i klor-alkaliindustri, i produktionen af chlor og alkali (natriumhydroxid eller kaliumhydroxid).
We have a mixed picture, and a lot more needs to be done in order for Turkey to keep its promises to the EU and to its own people."
Kloralkaliindustri og non-ferro minedrift (udvinding af andre metaller end jernholdige metaller) og smeltning forekommer ikke i Danmark.
Noting that 2008 was supposed to be the year of reforms, she added that "a new constitution is the only way the government can ensure separation of state and religion, and all civil society representatives need to be involved in this process."
Kviksølv anvendes ikke ved rensning af naturgas i Danmark.
Rapporteur (Oomen-Ruijten) said that since the last report, we have seen some very positive developments in Turkey (Law on Foundations, some reform of Article 301).
Kviksølv og kviksølvforbindelser er meget farlige for mennesker og især for udviklingen af børns nervesystem, ligesom det kan være til skade for naturen og miljøet.
We have a mixed picture, a lot more needs to be done, in order for Turkey to keep their promises to the EU and to their own people.
Kviksølv findes naturligt i miljøet i forskellige former, men kun sjældent i den rene flydende form.
This is a balanced report, but three main messages: we are concerned with regard to the case against the AKP party, hopefully the constitutional court will follow international law on this issue.

Parlamentet vedtager kalenderen for 2009
Chinese earthquake - MEPs express solidarity and welcome rapid response
Valgene til Europa-Parlamentet vil finde sted i starten af juni, og Parlamentets elleve samlinger i Strasbourg i 2009 blev placeret i kalenderen.
The European Parliament adopted a resolution on the recent earthquake that hit China, killing tens of thousands of people, expressing its "sincere condolences and solidarity to the people of China and to the numerous victims."
Forsøg på at indføre kortere uger i Strasbourg og længere samlinger i Bruxelles opnåede ikke flertal blandt Parlamentets medlemmer.
MEPs welcome the "prompt response to the disaster by the Chinese authorities by means of their emergency operation," and note "with appreciation China's readiness to accept foreign assistance."
Forslag fra en række MEP'ere om at droppe mandag og torsdag eftermiddag i Strasbourg-samlingerne, samt at gøre samlingerne i Bruxelles længere, opnåede ikke flertal.
In the debate, all political groups expressed their sympathies and condolences, calling on the Commission to help with all means possible to ease the humanitarian disaster.
På grund af den ortodokse påske blev det vedtaget, at samlingen i april 2009 skal vare fra tirsdag til fredag i stedet for mandag til torsdag (21.-24.april).
Commissioner Louis Michel noted that the EU has contributed over €10 million already, including €2 million for supplies such as tents and blankets which the Chinese authorities have requested.

Flere kvinder skal til tops i forskningsverdenen
European Parliament calls for a political solution in Lebanese crisis
Selvom kvinder udgør halvdelen af de studerende i EU, er der kun 15 % kvinder i de høje akademiske stillinger.
In the aftermath of the recent wave of violent clashes in Beirut, and the recent agreement on power-sharing in Doha, the European Parliament adopted a resolution on Lebanon.
Onsdag vedtog Parlamentet med stort flertal (416 stemmer for, 75 imod og 164 hverken for eller imod) en betænkning af Britta THOMSEN (PSE, DK), der ønsker større indsats for at få kvinder ind i forskningen, blandt andet ved at sikre mindst 40 % kvinder i udvælgelsesudvalgene.
The House welcomes the Doha agreement, and calls on all forces in the country to respect the Lebanese army and disarm.
I betænkningen af Britta Thomsen henviser MEP'erne til, at der i gennemsnit kun er 35 % kvinder ansat som forskere i staten og på de højere læreranstalter og kun 18 % i det private, selvom halvdelen af de studerende er kvinder.
The resolution notes that "the security of the country and of all Lebanese people is dependent on the disarmament of all armed groups, especially Hezbollah."
I de højere akademiske stillinger er det kun 15 %, der er kvinder.
The House "invites all the parties involved to support the Lebanese army so that it can guarantee fully the functioning, security, law and order, sovereignty and stability of Lebanon," noting that "the security of the country and of all Lebanese people is dependent on the disarmament of all armed groups, especially Hezbollah."
Kvinderne har dermed betydelig mindre indflydelse på beslutningstagningen inden for forskningen end deres mandlige kollegaer, og det mener MEP'erne, at der skal gøres noget ved.
The House reiterates its support for the UN forces in the country (UNIFIL), the international tribunal to try those who assassinated former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, and Commission and Council efforts to support reconstruction in Lebanon.
"Vi skal have flere kvinder i arbejde, vi skal have flere kvinder i ledende stillinger og beslutningstagende organer, og hvis vi i Europa skal skabe op imod 700.000 forskerstillinger de kommende år, så må vi blive bedre til at udnytte den kvindelige talentmasse.
The resolution also calls on Syria to "refrain from all interference that can have a negative impact on Lebanese internal affairs and to play a constructive role in seeking to establish stability in the country."
Med andre ord: Det er ikke et vilkårligt eller perifert emne, som vi behandler i dag, men derimod en central hjørnesten i hele Lissabon-strategien," sagde Britta Thomsen under debatten tirsdag aften.
EP President Hans-Gert Pöttering made a declaration at the beginning of the voting session, saying: "It is with great relief as well as hopeful and sustained encouragements that we very warmly welcome, as the European Parliament is about to adopt a resolution on the matter, the solid and comprehensive agreement reached by the Lebanese political leaders in Doha.
Mindst 40 % kvinder
Stressing the positive reactions expressed by neighbouring states and other countries concerned, the European Parliament calls on all the parties to fully implement the agreement.
Særlig indsats for at tiltrække kvinder
Ensuring pan-European coverage for mobile satellite services
De opfordrer også medlemsstaterne og Kommissionen til at opmuntre piger til at vælge en videnskabelig karriere ved at fremme oplysningskampagner og fremhæve kvindelige forskere som rollemodeller.
Mobile satellite systems can offer a wide range of pan-European telecommunications and broadcasting services - from high-speed internet through mobile TV to emergency communications.
Det er især indenfor naturvidenskab, teknologi og ingeniørvidenskab og computervidenskab at der fortsat er stor dominans af mænd.
The aim is "to facilitate the development of a competitive internal market for mobile satellite services across the Community and to ensure gradual coverage in all Member States", says the text.

Burma: Nødhjælp skal uddeles omgående
Promote sustainable industries but avoid unemployment and carbon leakage, say MEPs
De burmesiske myndigheder har reageret helt 'uacceptabelt langsomt' på den alvorlige humanitære krise efter cyklonen.
The EU's climate change and renewable energy goals should be seen as a chance for EU industries to become world leaders in sustainable technologies, says an own-initiative report on industrial policy proposed adopted by the European Parliament.
Hvis der ikke sker noget, bør der rejses sag ved den internationale straffedomstol.
"The EU's environmental goals should not be seen as a threat to industry", says the own-initiative report drafted by Romana JORDAN CIZELJ (EPP-ED, SI).
I beslutningsforslaget, som blev vedtaget med 524 stemmer for, 3 imod og 13 hverken for eller imod, understreger Parlamentet det akutte behov for hjælp til den nødlidende befolkning, da vejrforholdene i de ramte områder bliver værre på grund af den begyndende monsunregn.
Rather the EU's renewable energy and climate change objectives should be regarded "as an opportunity to gain a first mover advantage and make industry in the EU a world leader in environmentally friendly and socially acceptable technologies, products and services", stress MEPs.
De ramte bønder skal også have hjælp til at tilplante rismarkerne i tide, så man undgår endnu en katastrofe.
Avoid relocation of European industries, unemployment and 'carbon leakage'
De burmesiske myndigheder må prioritere de nødlidendes liv og åbne de cyklonramte områder for de internationale hjælpeoperationer, mener MEP'erne.
They underline that the Commission's Action Plan for sustainable industrial policy, which it plans to put forward on 14 May, should facilitate the gradual transition towards a low carbon and energy- and resource-efficient industry (amendment 5).
De opfordrer på det stærkeste myndighederne til øjeblikkeligt at udstede visa til hjælpearbejderne og give FN og andre internationale organisationer adgang til at fordele hjælpen direkte til de trængende.
At the same time, the European Parliament stresses that unemployment and 'carbon leakage' should be avoided i.e. the EU's strict climate policy goals should not prompt companies to relocate their production to countries with a less strict climate policy which would lead to increased CO2 emissions by these countries and to higher unemployment in the EU.
MEP'erne ønsker desuden, at FN's sikkerhedsråd skal undersøge, om det er muligt at tillade bistandssendinger uden den burmesiske militærjuntas accept.
Hence, the Council should introduce as soon as possible a European patent while the Commission should keep on combating counterfeiting by seeking global solutions in this area.

Visa policy
Solidaritet og medfølelse med Kinas befolkning
The European Parliament calls on the US to end discrimination between EU citizens on visas
Parlamentet udtrykker sin dybe medfølelse og solidaritet med Kinas befolkning og de mange ofre for jordskælvet i den sydvestlige del af landet i et beslutningsforslag, som blev vedtaget med stort flertal torsdag.
MEPs call for Member States involved in bilateral talks with the US on visas to respect EU law and for the US to end discrimination among Member States in a resolution adopted today.
MEP'erne glæder sig over de kinesiske myndigheders prompte reaktion og er tilfredse med, at Kina er parat til at tage imod hjælp fra omverdenen.
They also recall that the EU could temporarily restore a visa requirement for US citizens if reciprocity is not reached.
Medfølelse og solidaritet med befolkningen
Members adopted a resolution by 511 votes in favour, 29 against and 7 abstentions.
Parlamentet udtrykker i forslaget sin dybe medfølelse og solidaritet med Kinas befolkning og de mange ofre og sørger med alle, der lider under følgerne af jordskælvet.
MEPs take note of the bilateral talks going on between the US and several Member States (Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) on participation in the American "Visa Waiver" programme, which could allow their citizens to travel to the US without a visa.
MEP'erne glæder sig over de kinesiske myndigheders prompte reaktion på katastrofen, og er tilfredse med, at Kina er klar til at tage imod hjælp fra udlandet.
They recall that the EU Council is responsible for establishing rules on this matter and that it has exempted US citizens from a visa requirement, while the US still maintains it for nationals of some member states.
De opfordrer den kinesiske regering til at lette de humanitære nødhjælpsorganisationers og de frivillige organisationers arbejde for at få hjælpen ud samt til at sikre alle nødstedte adgang til hjælpen.
MEPs also adopted an amendment asking the Commission to ensure, in its negotiations with the US, that HIV positive travellers would also benefit from the Visa Waiver program, from which they are excluded.
MEP'erne opfordrer også indtrængende Rådet og Kommissionen til at yde nødhjælp, teknisk bistand og genopbygningshjælp til det ramte område.
MEPs therefore consider that any form of discrimination between European citizens should be forbidden, even outside the EU and call on the US authorities to observe the principle of reciprocity and to ensure the same rights for citizens of all Member States.
Parlamentet understreger, at det haster med at yde akut humanitær nødhjælp via EU's støtteprogram ECHO.
Otherwise, MEPs warned, the Council would be allowed to restore temporarily a visa requirement for third country citizens.
Tilfredshed med mediernes mulighed for at informere
They recall that access for the US to EU databases should be fully agreed by the EU.
MEP'erne udtrykker desuden tilfredshed med, at kinesiske og udenlandske medier får lov til at give detaljeret og præcis information om katastrofen, og fremhæver betydningen af god regeringsførelse, i forhold til forebyggelse og beredskab i tilfælde af mulige naturkatastrofer.
On April 18 2008, the Council agreed on the one hand on a "twin track" approach, giving a mandate to the Commission to negotiate on all community-related issues, and on the other hand adopting "red lines" that the member states must respect in their dialogue with the US,.

They urge the EC and the US to conclude negotiations before June 2009.

Europa-Parlamentet ønsker politisk løsning på krise i Libanon
Animal health strategy - cloning for economic purposes should be banned say MEPs
Efter bølgen af voldelige sammenstød i Beirut og aftalen, som blev indgået onsdag af de stridende parter i Libanon, har Europa-Parlamentet vedtaget et beslutningsforslag, der hilser aftalen fra Doha velkommen, og som opfordrer alle kræfter i landet til at respektere den libanesiske hær og smide våbnene.
The report by Janusz WOJCIECHOWSKI (UEN, PL) welcomes the strategy, which will reinforce the EU's "protection mechanisms and preparedness in the face of the onset of new epizootic diseases", such as the H5N1 virus of avian flu, foot-and-mouth and the blue tongue virus which have devastated herds in the UK and other parts of the EU and have had an important impact on meat consumption and citizen's trust towards the farming sector.
Parlamentets beslutningsforslag, som blev vedtaget med 520 stemmer for, 6 imod og 13 hverken for eller imod, hilser aftalen som blev indgået mellem de stridende parter onsdag velkommen.
The strategy aims to strengthen public health protection and food safety, reduce the occurrence of animal diseases, support economic growth by favouring the freedom of circulation of animals and animal products, and promote animal welfare and environment protection.
Aftalen omfatter blandt andet, at General Sleiman skal vælges som præsident inden for de kommende dage, at der skal oprettes en samlingsregering og vedtagelsen af en valglov.
Although these aims are supported, the report on behalf of the Agricultural Committee highlights a number of issues where the Commission's strategy "fails to pay sufficient attention".
