Ugen i Strasbourg
10 things you should know about the March plenary
Europa-Parlamentets medlemmer var fra den 12. - 15. marts samlet til plenarmøde i Strasbourg.
This was the question MEPs tried to answer in their plenary debate on the recent European Council that formalised the deal on the EU fiscal pact.
Hormonbehandlet oksekød, EU-strategi for diabetes og evaluering af sidste møde i Europæisk Råd (1. - 2. marts) var blandt emnerne på dagsordenen.
They also approved the creation of a special committee on organised crime and gave a green light to the agreement between the EU and US ending the so-called beef war.
MEPerne holdt et minuts stilhed til minde om ofrene for den syriske undertrykkelse, terrorismen i Europa og atomkatastrofen i Fukushima for et år siden.
At the opening of the plenary on Monday, a minute's silence was held for the victims of the Syrian repression, of terrorism in Europe and of the Fukushima nuclear disaster one year ago.
MEPerne dedikerede også et minuts stilhed onsdag til ære for de 28 personer, der tirsdag mistede livet i en busulykke Schweiz.
Parliament also observed a minute's silence on Wednesday for the 28 victims, mainly children, of the bus accident in Switzerland.
EP-formand Martin Schulz udtrykte sin "dybeste medfølelse med ofrenes familier".
President Martin Schulz expressed the "deepest sympathy to the families of the victims and to all those affected by this disaster".
Bekæmpelse af skattesvig, som menes at koste den europæiske økonomi milliarder af euro hvert år, samt beslutningen om en styrket overvågning af medlemsstaternes budgetter var de gennemgående temaer under tirsdagens debat om det seneste møde i Europæisk Råd (1. - 2. marts).
Together with European Council and Commission presidents Herman Van Rompuy and José Manuel Barroso, MEPs debated on Tuesday the conclusions of the EU summit of 1-2 March that focused on solving the economic crisis.
Parlamentet besluttede onsdag at oprette et særligt parlamentarisk udvalg om organiseret kriminalitet, korruption og hvidvaskning af penge.
The Parliament approved the creation of a special committee on organised crime , corruption and money laundering, with a mandate of one year on Wednesday.
Udvalget vil det kommende år skulle undersøge i hvilket omfang EUs lovlige økonomi, offentlige administration og finansielle systemer er infiltreret af organiseret kriminalitet, herunder mafiaer, samt foreslå metoder til at bekæmpe organiseret kriminalitet.
The "anti-mafia committee" will look into how organised crime has infiltrated the EU's economy, public administration and financial systems
Aftalen betyder, at EU kan opretholde forbuddet mod hormonbehandlet kød til gengæld for at hæve importkvoterne for ikke-hormonbehandlet oksekød fra USA og Canada.
On Wednesday, Parliament approved a deal allowing the EU to keep its ban on imports of hormone-treated beef , in return for increasing its quota for imports of high-quality beef from the US and Canada.
Torsdag vedtog MEPerne en resolution, der opfordrer de hollandske myndigheder til at undersøge, om opfordringen til at skrive klager over central- og østeuropæere bosat i Holland tilskynder til had og diskrimination.
On Thursday MEPs condemned a recently launched website in the Netherlands that invites people to post complaints about migrants from Central and Eastern Europe and called on the Dutch government to speak out against it.
De juridiske og samfundsmæssige konsekvenser af angreb fra israelske styrker på palæstinensiske tv-stationer i de besatte palæstinensiske områder var i fokus under Parlamentets debat om menneskerettigheder torsdag eftermiddag.
The legal and societal implications of raids by Israeli forces on Palestinian TV stations in the occupied Palestinian territories were in the spotlight during the EP's human rights debate on Thursday afternoon

Richard Howitt: EU skal lære af fortidens fejl
Richard Howitt: "The EU must learn from past human rights mistakes"
Richard Howitt EU bør undgå dobbelte standarder og lære af tidligere fejltagelser, når der indgås aftaler med tredjelande, siger den britiske socialdemokrat Richard Howitt, hvis betænkning om EUs årlige menneskerettighedsrapport blev drøftet tidligere på ugen.
ITW Howitt The EU should avoid double standards, learn from past mistakes and set clear and objective conditions on human rights before entering into agreements with countries, says British Labour MEP Richard Howitt, whose recommendation on the EU's annual human rights report was discussed in committee this week.
Han mener, at EU-landene indirekte har gjort sig skyldige i menneskerettighedskrænkelser og efterspørger en ny udenrigspolitisk strategi på området.
He says the EU and its member states have at times been guilty of sidelining human rights and calls for a systematic approach using indices and benchmarks.
Vi talte med ham.
We interviewed him ahead of the debate.
Er der i disse hårde økonomiske tider en risiko for, at EU og dets medlemsstater prioriterer økonomiske interesser over menneskerettigheder?
In these tough economic times do you think there is a risk that the EU and its member states prioritise economic interests at the expense of human rights?
Hvordan finder man den rette balance?
How do you strike the right balance?
Det har aldrig på noget tidspunkt været let at sikre og fremme menneskerettighederne, og det er ikke meningen, at det skal være let.
There has never been a time when upholding and promoting human rights has been easy and it's not supposed to be easy.
Når udviklingslandene siger til os, at de ikke har råd til at respektere menneskerettighederne, fortæller vi dem, at disse er grundlæggende rettigheder, som alle skal respektere, uanset hvilket udviklingstrin, man befinder sig på.
When developing countries say to us we can't afford to respect human rights, we tell them that these are fundamental rights that everyone has to respect irrespective of the stage of development.
