Jeg tror på, at dette initiativ vil kunne hjælpe andre byer med at følge det gode eksempel".
I believe this can help other cities to follow the example" she said.
Michael Cramer (De Grønne, Tyskland): Dette er en fantastisk mulighed, for at vise, at der eksisterer mulige alternativer...
Michael Cramer - a German Green MEP - called mobility week "an excellent initiative".
I stedet for at begrænse det til en uge om året, burde byer aktivt arbejde for mere bæredygtige transportformer..."
However, he called for it to be expanded into public policy "instead of a limited week once a year, cities should actively change the modal split towards more sustainable modes of transport permanently".
Hvad er de største problemer, som man må kæmpe med, når det kommer til trafik og mobilitet?
Bulgarian Socialist MEP Evgeni Kirilov praised mobility week as "citizens learn more, become more conscious about the problems and how to solve them, including personal contribution by using bicycles and public transport instead of private cars, especially single users".
Ole Christensen: "Jeg tror, at folk gerne vil have transportmidler, der er sikre og som ikke forurener.
Cities "car friendly" not "human friendly"
Det handler om bedre cykelstier, og generelt om større sikkerhed for cyklisterne."
We asked the MEPs what they thought were the biggest challenges in this area.
Jens Holm (GUE/NGL, Sverige): "For mange biler og for få alternative måder at komme rundt på.
Jens Holm (GUE/NGL) of Sweden thought there were "too many cars" and not "sufficient alternatives" to getting around.
Det er et stort offentligt ansvar at sikre billig, hvis ikke gratis, offentlig transport."
He believes that cheap if not free public transport should be a "public responsibilty".
Alexandru Mortun (ALDE, Rumænien): "Jeg mener ikke, at bygning af flere veje, er løsningen på transportproblemerne...
On future strategies for dealing with the problem, Romanian MEP Alexandru Mortun (ALDE) believes that "building more roads is not the answer".
De lokale myndigheders strategi bør inkludere: Skabelsen af "trafikfredelige" eller bilfri zoner, og forbedringer af cyklisternes vilkår.
He thinks authorities should "create traffic-calmed or car-free zones; launching speed reduction programmes; improving cycle networks and facilities".
Det bør være mere end bare en kortsigtet kampagne."
Italian MEP Alessandro Foglietta (UEN) blames the "lack of education and of respect of the rules".
Zuzana Roithová: "Byer er nødt til se mobilitet som en helhed, hvilket bør inkludere fodgængernes og cyklisternes behov.
He also points to the problem of "the difficulty in leaving our cars at home especially when we live in areas which are not served by public transport or when we have special needs like health problems or with children".
Afmærkede cykelstiger og skilte, der tillader at cykellister at køre på ensrettede veje, er gode eksempler, som jeg har stiftet bekendskab med i Bruxelles."
One solution to traffic usage could be imaginative solutions.
Jeg ejer en mountainbike, som jeg cykler i skoven med, en racercykel som jeg også bruger til motion, og endelig har jeg en kondi-cykel".
For Sepp Kusstatscher - a man who walks to work - the balance is all wrong; cities are "car friendly" and not "human friendly".

Denne uge i Europa-Parlamentet
Highlights: MEPs to discuss energy, immigration, rail, toys in 2nd September Plenary
Under denne uges plenum-samling i Strasbourg vil blandt andet vedvarende energi, EU´s jernbanenet, Det Europæiske Teknologiinstitut, immigration og farligt legetøj fra Kina være på dagsordenen.
On the agenda when MEPs return to Strasbourg for the second plenary session in September are the EU's railway market, the European Institute of Technology, immigration and dangerous toys imported from China.
Herunder finder du et resume af de vigtigste emner, der vil blive behandlet under samlingen.
MEPs will also vote on a report about the rights of EU citizens residing in another member state to vote and stand in elections to the European Parliament for EU citizens residing in another Member State.
Vedvarende energi: Alle skal være med Alle lande skal deltage aktivt i kampen for at sikre mere sol-, vind- og vandenergi i EU.
The session opens Monday with a debate on a report on renewable energy , which calls on the Commission to present a proposal for a new renewable energy legislative framework by the end of 2007.
Det er en af hovedpointerne i den betænkning om en køreplan for vedvarende energi, som Britta Thomsen (PSE, DK), har været ordfører for.
The report urges a sectoral approach setting clear and realistic binding targets for the electricity, transport and heating and cooling sectors.
Fokus på indvandring Indvandring er en strategisk prioritering for EU.
MEPs will also discuss the opening up of the rail market , a European licence for train drivers and the rights of rail passengers.
Indvandring skal ikke kun opfattes som et problem, men også som et positivt fænomen, der skaber vækst og fremgang såvel i EU som i oprindelseslandene.
Commission Vice-President Günter Verheugen in charge of Enterprise and Industry will take part in the debate.
I den forbindelse vil Europa-Parlamentet onsdag den 26. september behandle to initiativbetænkninger om dels en politisk plan for lovlig migration, dels de politiske prioriteter i forbindelse med bekæmpelsen af ulovlig indvandring.
The House will then turn to a report on the setting up of the European Institute of Technology .
Grønt lys for "tredje jernbanepakke" Der er lagt op til, at Parlamentet efter lange og seje forhandlinger vil godkende den såkaldte "tredje jernbanepakke".
The Industry Committee backs it but wants the name to include "innovation" and call for a pilot phase to test its feasibility.
Det forventes at MEP'erne vil godkende pakken uden problemer ved afstemningen tirsdag den 25. september.
"The Energy Charter Treaty should be the cornerstone of the common European foreign policy on energy," says a report by the Foreign Affairs Committee.
Ligestilling i 2007: Stadig ikke lige løn Kvinder og mænds lønninger ligger stadig for langt fra hinanden – og der er ikke de store fremskridt at spore siden sidste år.
It also advocates creating a post for a "High Official of Foreign Energy Policy", to co-ordinate the EU's activities in the field, and recommends diversification and increased energy efficiency to improve the EU's energy security.
Fælles ekstern energipolitik EU skal stå mere sammen i forhold til energipolitikken over for resten af verden.
The afternoon sees the European Parliament return to a well known issue with a debate on secret detentions and unlawful inter-state transfers involving Council of Europe member states.
Særligt i forholdet til Rusland, ønsker MEP’erne, at der i forhandlingerne skal lægges vægt på den gensidige afhængighed.
The House will also vote on a report on a Commission proposal to make it easier for EU citizens residing in another Member State to vote and stand in elections to the European Parliament.

MEP´er: Microsofts nederlag vil komme de europæiske forbrugere til gode
Consumers will benefit from Microsoft antitrust ruling say MEPs
Microsoft under beskydning
17 September was a bad day for Microsoft
Et stort flertal af Europa-Parlamentets medlemmer hilser Kommissionens sejr over Microsoft velkommen.
The landmark anti-trust decision against US software giant Microsoft has been welcomed as a good deal for consumers by several MEPs.
Microsoft misbrugte sin dominerende position på IT markedet.
On Monday the EU's Court of First Instance upheld a 2004 ruling in the long running case brought by the European Commission.
Det gav Retten i Første Instans Kommissionen ret i, da afgørelsen faldt i Microsofts appelsag i mandags.
The crux of the ruling was that Microsoft had unfairly used its 90% share of the software industry.
MEP´er fremhævede dommen som en sejr for forbrugerne, der vil få mere valgfrihed på det internationale softwaremarked.
One MEP told us the decision strengthened "the right and freedom of consumers to choose the best and most innovative products".
Retten i Første Instans besluttede at opretholde dommen fra 2004, der fastslog, at Microsoft har misbrugt sin dominerende markedsposition ved indfiltre sine programmer så tæt ind i Windows, at konkurrerende programmer reelt ikke har haft chance for at opnå markedsandele eller lave programmer, der kunne samarbejde med Microsofts styresystem.
The Court's decision means the Seattle-based company will have to pay a fine of €497 million on top of the €280 million they have already been fined for not respecting the 2004 decision.
Microsoft er blevet tildelt en bøde på 497 millioner euro, plus yderligere 280 millioner euro for ikke at have respekteret dommen fra 2004.
So in future if you buy "Windows" then the rest of your computer purchases (even if they are not made by Microsoft), must be able to operate with it.
Forbrugernes frihed til selv at vælge
Consumers must not be constrained to buy products of one single company due to single software.
Den franske socialdemokrat Pervenche Berés, der har fulgt retssagen tæt, betegnede dommen som "historisk" i lyset af "Microsofts udsædvanlige markedsdominans".
She called the decision "historic" especially "considering the exceptional situation of market dominance by Microsoft".
Hun afsluttede med at understrege, at dommen vil garantere forbrugernes valgfrihed og sikre en retfærdig konkurrence på IT markedet."
She went on to say that "the decision would guarantee the liberty of choice of consumers and ensure just competition between companies in the IT market".
Dommen sender et klart signal
Ruling "sends clear signal"
Alain Lipietz (De Grønne) lagde vægt på den betydning, som dommen vil få for konkurrencereglerne i EU: "Bøden på 497 millioner euro til Microsoft, for at have misbrugt sin dominerende markedsposition, er en stor sejr for retfærdig konkurrence", vurderede Lipietz.
For the Greens/EFA group Alain Lipietz (who sits on the Legal Affairs Committee) stressed the boost this would give to Competition rules in the EU. "the fine of 497 million Euros against Microsoft for abuse of its dominant position is a great victory for the right of Competition.
Mange forventer, at Kommissionen fremover vil presse på for lignende retssager mod andre markedsdominerende virksomheder.
Finally, in more good news for the Union - all of the money from the fine - should an appeal by Microsoft either fail or not take place - will go to EU coffers.

Masser af energi på dagsordenen i Strasbourg
MEPs to debate renewable energy and foreign energy policy
En samling fuld af energi
Pipeline construction a way to diversify says report
Under denne uges plenumsamling i Strasbourg vil energipolitikken indtage en central plads på dagsordenen.
This week in Strasbourg energy issues will be on the agenda as MEPs debate renewable sources of energy and a common foreign policy on energy.
Britta Thomsen (PES, Danmark) opfordrer i en betænkning alle medlemslande til at deltage aktivt i kampen for udbredelsen af vedvarende energi.
Both debates are in response to own-initiative reports by Danish Socialist Britta Thomsen and Polish Conservative Jacek Saryusz-Wolski.
Jacek Saryusz-Wolski (EPP-ED, Polen) ønsker en fælles udenrigspolitik på det energipolitiske område.
The Thomsen report - to be debated Monday - wants a fifth of EU energy to be from renewable sources by 2020.
Mandag den 24. september vil Parlamentet debattere en egen-initiativ betænkning om vedvarende energi, som danske Britta Thomsen (PES) har udarbejdet for Udvalget om Industri, Forskning og Energi.
The Saryusz-Wolski report (debate Tuesday) calls for a single policy on energy and a "High Official" to run it.
I 2020 skal 20 % af al energi i Europa komme fra vedvarende energikilder.
During the March 2007 European Summit, member states set a binding target to produce 20% of all the energy consumed in EU from renewable sources.
Det er en af de ambitiøse målsætninger, som EU-landene har sat sig for dels at sikre forsyningssikkerheden, men også for at nedbringe udledningen af CO2.
The Thomsen report calls on the European Commission to present a proposal for a renewable energy legislative framework by the end of the year.
Det kræver blandt andet, at en 20 % forbedring af energieffektiviteten bliver opfyldt.
"More green energy will create new jobs, generate research and innovation and will in addition contribute to increased energy security and less CO2 emissions."
Vedvarende energi: "En gevinst for EU"
Ms Thomsen believes that the target for renewable energy cannot be seen as separate from other energy policy ambitions.
Selv om nogle lande i forvejen er bagud, er det vigtigt, at andelen af vedvarende energi stiger i alle lande.
"The aim of the report is to create, in the long-term, a genuine European foreign policy on energy."
Industriudvalget beklager i den forbindelse, at der stadig er regionale og lokale myndigheder i EU, der kun viser lille interesse for at udvikle og benytte vedvarende energikilder.
He added that "the underlying principles of the report are diversification - prioritising strategic projects such as the Nabucco pipeline, unity in defending the Union's interest and solidarity in crisis situations".
Fælles udenrigspolitik på energiområdet
He went on to say that "Europe needs energy solidarity.
Tirsdag er Saryusz-Wolksi´s betænkning om en fælles europæisk energipolitik på programmet.
When third countries use energy as a foreign policy tool, energy is no longer a commodity".
Saryusz-Wolksi fremhæver den udenrigspolitiske dimension som betænkningens vigtigste mål: "Målsætningen med denne betænkning er, på lang sigt, at skabe en fælles udenrigspolitik på det energipolitiske område".
In January 2006 a Russia-Ukraine gas dispute interrupted supplies to several EU states and acted as a wake up call regarding the EU's dependence on imported oil and gas.
Betænkningen anbefaler endvidere oprettelsen af en "Højtstående Repræsentant" til at koordinere EU´s fælles energipolitik.
The report pulls no punches in pointing out that the Union's energy supply comes from "unstable" and "authoritarian regimes".
Kommissionen opfordres til at udarbejde årlige rapporter om overholdelsen af reglerne for det indre marked for energi.
It calls for the EU to use its economic weight to exert greater pressure on Russia to adopt "open, fair and transparent" energy markets.
Deruover fremhæves energichartret som en hjørnesten i den fælles europæiske eksterne energipolitik.
The report calls for the EU to tie its foreign and energy policy closer together in a more assertive fashion.
Begge debatter bliver vist live fra Strasbourg mandag og tirsdag.
You can watch both this debates live from Strasbourg on Monday from 5pm and on Tuesday evening.

Mandag under EP-samlingen: Energi og transport
Monday in plenary: energy, transport feature
Den tredje jernbanepakke på programmet
The way ahead for rail?
Parlamentets formand, Pöttering åbnede denne uges samling i Strasbourg med at mindes det tidligere medlem Lord Bethell, som døde i starten af september.
The second September plenary began with a report on energy and three on railways.
Under mandagens samling blev der både debatteret energi og transportpolitik.
Before the debates, President Hans-Gert Pöttering expressed Parliament's "solidarity and sympathy" with the people of Burma, who are demonstrating against the military government there.
Mandag var også dagen, hvor de tre finalister til dette års Sakharov-pris blev fundet.
Outside the sitting, the shortlist of three finalists for the 2007 Sakharov Prize for freedom of thought was announced.
Parlamentets formand, Pöttering åbnede denne uges samling i Strasbourg med at mindes det tidligere medlem Lord Bethell.
Mr Pöttering opened the session by commemorating former British MEP (1979-2003) and human rights campaigner Lord (Nicolas) Bethell who died recently.
Bethell var med til at tage initiativ til Sakharov-prisen for tankefrihed, som uddeles hvert år.
The House agreed to debate the situation in Burma on Wednesday.
Nye ambitioner for vedvarende energi
"Strong political will needed"
Dagens første debat omhandlede en egen-initiativ betænkning af danske Britta Thomsen (PES).
The first debate was on a report on renewable energy that calls on the Commission to present a proposal for a renewable energy legislative framework before the end of the year.
Betænkningen lægger sig op af EU-landenes mål om, at 20 % af al energi i Europa fra 2020 skal komme fra vedvarende energikilder.
During the March 2007 European summit, member states set a binding target to produce 20% of all the energy consumed in EU from renewable sources by 2020.
Hun fortsatte: "Vi må sikre energiforsyningen, et lavere CO2 udslip og skabelsen af nye jobs baseret på grøn energi."
"We must achieve security of supply, a reduction of CO2 emissions and the creation of new jobs by means of green energy."
Pilar Ayuso (EPP-ED, Spanien): "Min gruppe er enig i, at det er nødvendigt med nye investeringer i energisektoren for at gøre nye energiformer mere kompatible med gamle former for energi...
Zbigniew Kuźmiuk (PL, UEN) criticized the EU for "not having a common energy policy."
Vi opfodrer medlemslandene til at nå dette mål via investeringer og bedre brug af vedvarende energi."
Ms Thomsen also said "we need to see biofuels as part of renewable energy.
Zbigniew Kuźmiuk (UEN, Polen) kritiserede EU for ikke at have en fælles energipolitik og henviste til Frankrigs og Tysklands negative attitude på området."
The EP must provide a signal to Member States that it is serious about this type of energy."
Willem Schuth (ALDE, Tyskland): "Biobrændsel ser ud til at indtage en central rolle i energidebatten, men det bør ikke lede til konkurrenceforvridning."
Willem Schuth (DE, ALDE) said "Bio energy is likely to have a primary role in the energy discussion but should not lead to distortion of competition.
