Barbara Lochbihler Under hver samling i Strasbourg drøfter MEPerne aktuelle menneskerettighedskrænkelser rundt omkring i verden.
MEP Barbara Lochbihler The European Parliament has a history of calling attention to flagrant violations of human rights across the world at each Strasbourg plenary session.
I denne uge er Hviderusland, Egypten og Japan på dagsordenen.
This week for example it will discuss the situation in Belarus, Egypt and Japan.
"Nogle gange modtager vi feedback fra menneskerettighedsaktivister eller diplomater i de pågældende lande.
"Sometimes we receive feedback from human rights activists there, or diplomats from the countries concerned respond.
Resolutionerne er "altid en anledning til at fordømme krænkelser af menneskerettigheder.
These resolutions are always an occasion to denounce violations of human rights.
Det er et godt instrument", fastslår Lochbihler.
It is a good instrument.
Menneskerettighedsdebatterne finder sted torsdag eftermiddag i slutningen af ​​mødeperioden og følges op med vedtagelse af ​​resolutioner.
Ms Lochbihler said the Parliament has had some success with its human rights debates and resolutions.
Hvilke emner (maksimalt tre), der sættes på dagsordenen, besluttes af de politiske gruppekoordinatorer.
It has led to some governments reconsidering a death penalty sentence or a national parliament stopping the process on a particular law.
"Vi vælger et tema eller en situation, hvor vi mener, at der er et vindue af muligheder for at ændre det til det bedre", siger Lochbihler, der tidligere arbejdede som generalsekretær for Amnesty International i Tyskland.
"The debates on breaches of human rights also raise the awareness of our people on that issue and it helps of course to push and press the relevant government to improve."
Hun mener, at Parlamentet har haft "delvis succes" med debatterne og nævner, at nogle regeringer for eksempel har taget lovgivning om dødsstraf op til fornyet overvejelse på baggrund af Parlamentets kritik.
Topics for the debates, limited to a maximum of three, are decided between coordinators of the different political groups.
Debatterne om krænkelser af menneskerettigheder rejser også "bevidsthed blandt vores egne borgere om spørgsmålet, og det hjælper selvfølgelig til at presse den relevante regering til at forbedre sig".
"We choose a theme or situation where we think there is a window of opportunity to change it for the better," said Ms Lochbihler who was Amnesty International's secretary-general in Germany.
Men der er stadig meget, der mangler at blive gjort: "Vi er nødt til at inddrage menneskerettighedspolitikker i vores handelspolitik, i vores økonomiske støtte og i vores udenrigspolitik.
However, the Parliament is not about to rest on its laurels.
Vi kan gøre mere, men vi har stadig et godt ry internationalt for, at EU bekymrer sig om menneskerettighederne", slutter Lochbihler.
Ms Lochbihler said: "There is still more to be done: We need to mainstream human rights policies in our trade policy, in our economic supports, in our foreign relations policies.

Denne uge i EP
EP this week. financial transaction plan and food aid
MEP´ere vil denne uge drøfte mulighederne for at indføre en skat på finansielle transaktioner I denne uge er der hovedsageligt møder i de politiske grupper forud for plenarmødet i Strasbourg, men der er også blevet plads til et par høringer om blandt andet en EU-skat på finansielle transaktioner og den politiske situation i Ungarn.
Parliament building The proposal for a financial transaction tax will be discussed on Monday when financial experts appear before the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee.
En skat på finansielle transaktioner har længe stået højt på den politiske dagsorden i EU.
The tax is being touted as a way to discourage rampant speculation capable of disrupting the economy.
En sådan skat vil angiveligt kunne begrænse omfanget af skadelige spekulationer i finanssektoren og samtidigt generere hårdt tiltrængte indtægter til de slunkne kasser i medlemsstaterne.
The Committee will also hold its first debate on draft legislation to combat market abuse, insider dealing and market manipulation.
Onsdag vil der være en enestående mulighed for at stille spørgsmål til lederen af Gruppen for Europæisk Frihed og Demokrati, Nigel Farage , når vi kl. 16.00 afholder en Facebook-chat .
There will be a unique opportunity to question Nigel Farage , leader of the Europe of Freedom and Democracy Group, during a live chat on the Parliament's Facebook page, on Wednesday at 1600 CET.
I den anledning holder Udvalget om Borgenes Rettigheder og Retlige og Indre Anliggender torsdag en offentlig høring.
The civil rights situation in Hungary will be the topic of a hearing of the Civil Liberties Committee on Thursday, featuring representatives of Hungarian civil society.

Europæiske kulturhovedstæder 2012: Guimarães og Maribor
Guimarães and Maribor show they are state of the art as European capitals of culture
Billeder fra åbningsceremonien Guimarães i Portugal og Maribor i Slovenien er europæiske kulturhovedstæder i 2012.
Opening ceremony of the new EU capitals of culture Guimarães in Portugal and Maribor in Slovenia will host a wealth of cultural events this year as European capitals of culture for 2012.
En lang række kulturelle arrangementer - operaer, moderne dans, klassisk og populær musik, film, teater, billedkunst, litteratur og arkitektur - vil blive afholdt i løbet af året med det formål at vise de attraktioner, som byerne har at tilbyde.
Throughout the year art lovers will be able to enjoy anything from opera to contemporary dance, classical and popular music, film, theatre, visual arts, literature and architecture.
Rui Tavares (De Grønne, Portugal): "Guimarães, en af ​​de smukkeste byer i Portugal, er blevet et eksempel på et urbant opsving.
Green parliamentarian Rui Tavares , from Portugal, commented: "Guimarães, one the most beautiful cities in Portugal, has become an example of urban recovery.
Det at byen er blevet valgt til europæisk kulturhovedstad har klart transformeret den til en heksekedel af moderne kreativitet blandet med en stærk tusindårig gammel arv.
Having been picked as European Capital of Culture has clearly transformed it into a cauldron of contemporary creativity and strong millennial heritage.
Den er et must for kulturturisme i 2012.
It's a must for 2012 culture tourism.
Og glem i øvrigt ikke den nærliggende by Braga, blot 25 km væk, som er dette års europæiske ungdomshovedstad.
And by the way, let us not forget the nearby city of Braga, just 25 km away, which is this year's European Capital of Youth."
Middelalderbyens befolkning vil få mulighed for at udfolde deres kulturelle og kreative evner året igennem.
Residents of the medieval city will also have an important role to play as co-creators and visitors of exhibitions, street events and concerts in the Town Keys initiative.
Milan Zver (EPP, Slovenien): "Som slovener fra Steiermark-regionen er jeg meget stolt over, at Maribor, den næststørste by i Slovenien, har opnået den smigrende titel som europæisk kulturhovedstad i 2012.
Slovenian Christian Democrat Milan Zver said: "As a Slovenian coming from the Lower Styria region, I am very proud that Maribor, the second largest city in Slovenia, holds the flattering title of the European Capital of Culture in 2012.
Maribor har været en centraleuropæisk korsvej, hvor forskellige kulturer på fredelig vis - side om side - har beriget hinanden.
In the past Maribor has been a central-European crossroads, where different cultures coexisted peacefully and enriched one another.
Jeg ønsker, at denne tradition vil fortsætte, og at så mange EU-borgere som muligt vil besøge Maribor og andre nærliggende turistjuveler i 2012".
I hope this tradition will continue and that as many EU citizens as possible will visit Maribor and other nearby touristic jewels in 2012."
Europæisk kulturhovedstad er et initiativ lanceret af EU´s Ministerråd i 1985, som har til formål at "bidrage til at bringe EU's befolkninger nærmere hinanden".
Since the European capital of culture initiative was launched in 1985, more than 40 cities have had the honour of holding the title.
Den europæiske kulturhovedstad udpeges hvert år af Rådet på grundlag af en henstilling fra Kommissionen.
The European Parliament's Committee on Culture and Education advises on the applications received.
Hidtil har mere end 40 byer opnået titlen som europæisk kulturhovedstad.
After this the Council chooses the new capitals of culture based on a recommendation from a panel that includes MEPs.

MEP´ere: EU skal ikke dække over diktatorers aktiver
"Europe should stop harbouring dictators' blood money"
©BELGA/CTK/J.Horazny Ledere af autoritære regimer kan ofte placere deres aktiver i EU, på trods af foranstaltninger, der har til formål at forhindre det.
MEPs are telling member states to stop harbouring dictators' assets ©BELGA/CTK/J.Horazny Dictators should no longer be able to bank on the EU to safeguard their ill-gotten gains for them.
Denne praksis skal stoppes, fastslog MEP´erne, da de sidste torsdag vedtog en initiativbetænkning om tredjelandes lederes personlige og erhvervsmæssige interesser i EU.
They claim the EU is currently being inconsistent as it imposes sanctions on tyrants while at the same time allowing them to stash their riches in European banks.
EU har ofte været inkonsekvent i anvendelsen af sin sanktionspolitik ved at behandle tredjelande forskelligt, selv om tilstandene i landene med hensyn til menneskerettigheder og demokrati har været ensartede, hedder det i betænkningen.
Restrictive measures such as embargoes and sanctions are not being consistently applied, either because the EU treats countries with similar human rights records in another way or because Member States apply the restrictions differently.
Derfor opfordrer ordfører Graham Watson (ALDE, UK) til, at EU´s sanktionspolitik fremover gøres mere "sammenhængende og konsekvent".
Sir Graham Watson, who drafted the resolution, said it was time to put an end to this.
Watson understreger, at man også bør sætte ind over for diktatorers aktiver inden for EU´s grænser: "Betænkningen anbefaler, at alle eksterne restriktive foranstaltninger skal modsvares af en tilsvarende tilgang til autoritære lederes aktiviteter, når de finder sted inden for EU´s grænser".
"This report aims to make our current policies on restrictive measures coherent and consistent."
Ifølge MEP'erne ser mange autoritære ledere Den Europæiske Union som et attraktivt sted for investeringer i fast ejendom og bankforretninger, og som et område, inden for hvilket de kan rejse frit og frit bruge den rigdom, som de ofte har erhvervet på tvivlsom måde.
The British liberal pointed out that many dictators see the EU as an attractive place to keep their money, invest, own property and make use of healthcare services as they are free to travel and spend their often dubiously acquired wealth here.
"Vi giver dem mulighed for at beskytte deres erhvervede gevinster... inden for vores banksystemer, og vi tilbyder dem et incitament og en kapacitet til at fortsætte deres korruption og udnyttelse af deres folk".
"We currently allow them to shield their often dubiously acquired gains within our banking systems, we offer them the incentive and capacity to continue with corruption and exploitation of their people and their resources."
MEP`erne opfordrer:
In the report, adopted on Thursday, MEPs call for:
til at eventuelle sanktioner og restriktive foranstaltninger kun rettes mod de ansvarlige og indvirkningen på civilbefolkningen minimeres
Only those responsible should be targeted by any sanctions and restrictive measures and the impact on the civil population should be minimised.
Der bør nedlægges strengt forbud mod, at ledere, der er genstand for sanktioner, kan eje aktiver og fast ejendom i EU
Sanctioned leaders and their associates should be strictly prohibited from owning assets and property within the EU and member states should declare when people on the sanction list have physical and financial assets held within their borders.
til at Akademiske institutioner, idrætsforeninger og velgørenhedsorganisationer hindres i at acceptere penge fra sanktionerede ledere og deres associerede selskaber
Academic institutions as well as sports associations and charity organisations should be prohibited from accepting money from sanctioned leaders and their associates, while the EU and member states should strictly adhere to travel bans prohibiting sanctioned persons from travelling within the EU for other than humanitarian purposes.
til at indefrosne og konfiskerede aktiver skal hjemsendes så hurtigt som muligt til deres respektive lande til gavn for befolkningen.
Frozen and confiscated assets should be repatriated as soon as possible to their respective countries to the benefit of the population.

Facebook-chat med Nigel Farage
Facebook chat with MEP Nigel Farage
Han mener, at eurokrisen blot udstiller de mange svagheder, der er forbundet med det europæiske integrationsprojekt.
MEP Nigel Farage He is known for asking tough questions, but this time it will be your opportunity to question him.
Onsdag den 8. februar kl. 16.00 har du mulighed for at chatte med ham på vores Facebook-side.
Nigel Farage, the leader of the eurosceptic Europe of Freedom and Democracy Group, will chat with EP's Facebook fans on Wednesday 8 February at 1600 CET.
Farage hævder, at nationalt demokrati og EU-medlemskab er to uforenelige størrelser.
Mr Farage opposes a federal Europe as to him a national democracy and EU membership are incompatible.
Han mener ikke, at befolkningen i tilstrækkelig grad kommer til orde, og han bryder sig ikke om, den måde EU håndterer krisen på.
He hit the headlines in February 2010 after claiming the newly inaugurated President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy had the "charisma of a damp rag and the appearance of low grade bank clerk".
Samtidig understreger han, at han ikke ser sig selv som antieuropæisk.
He was subsequently reprimanded after he refused to apologise to Mr Van Rompuy.
"Vi tror på nationalstatens demokrati.
The leader of the UK Independence Party disagrees with the way EU is handling the crisis and wants to have the peoples of Europe to have more of a say.
Vi ønsker et Europa med handel, vi ønsker et Europa med samarbejde, vi ønsker et Europa, der er ansvarligt", sagde han for nylig.
"We believe in nation state democracy, we want a Europe of trade, we want a Europe of co-operation, we want a Europe that is responsible," he said.
Chatten starter kl. 16.00, og du kan stille spørgsmål frem til klokken 16.45.
The 45-minute chat will start on Wednesday at 1600 CET.

EU 's forbindelser med de nye vækstøkonomier
"Rise of emerging powers represents an opportunity for the EU"
Statsoverhovederne fra de fem BRIK-lande ©BELGA/ITAR-TASS/D.Astakhov Den store økonomiske vækst i udviklingslandene gør dem i stigende grad til vigtige aktører på den globale scene.
BRICS leaders meet at Sheraton Sanya Resort. ©BELGA/ITAR-TASS/D.Astakhov The EU should work together with emerging countries such as China and India to build a multi-polar, inclusive system of global governance that deals efficiently with global challenges.
Kina forventes at være verdens største økonomi inden 2020, og Indien kan blive den hurtigst voksende økonomi inden 2050.
China is projected to be the world's largest economy before 2020 and India could become the fastest growing economy before 2050.
Han mener ikke, at der er tale om et nul-sums-spil, og at EU vil meste indflydelse på grund af udviklingslandenes hastige udvikling.
This collaboration could either be bilaterally or multilaterally, based on the issue involved.
BRIK- landene (Brasilien, Rusland, Indien, Kina og Sydafrika) koordinerer til tider deres udenrigspolitik, selvom de indimellem er uenige i politiske, økonomiske og sociale spørgsmål.
For example, the EU could work together with the BRICS in pushing for reform of the IMF and the World Bank to reflect changes in countries' economic weight.
MEP´erne opfordrer til at samarbejde med de nye stormagter på en konstruktiv og effektiv måde, både bilateralt og multilateralt og understreger, at EU skal prioritere forbindelserne til de BRIK-lande, der deler og respekterer demokratiske værdier og stræber efter en social markedsøkonomi.
However, it should prioritise relations with those BRICS that share and respect democratic values and strive for a social market economy.

Island: et grønt forgangsland
Five things you should know about Iceland
Satellitbillede af Island ©BELGA/NASA Island er på vej mod EU og kan snart tilslutte sig fællesskabet.
Iceland ©BELGA/NASA As Iceland continues to make good progress in its efforts to become the EU's latest member, interest in the tiny Nordic country is heating up.
Vi præsenterer her en række fakta om østaten i Nordatlanten.
Iceland is one of the world's leaders in the use of renewable energy.
Omkring 72 % af Islands energiforbrug kommer fra vedvarende energikilder, og geotermisk varme anvendes til opvarmning af ca. 87 % af alle huse.
About 72% of its energy use comes from renewable energy and geothermal heat is used to heat 87% of all houses.
Islændingenes viden og erfaring med vedvarende energi flugter godt med EU´s ambition om at forblive verdens førende region for grøn vækst.
It also plays an important role in research and innovation.
Islandske universiteter støtter desuden kurser om og forskning i vedvarende energi.
Iceland's universities have launched several graduate and post graduate courses in many fields of clean energy and renewable energy studies are rapidly becoming more popular among students.
Det er også et område, hvor Island har erfaring.
Iceland is an expert on the arctic, which is rapidly becoming more important as global warming is opening up faster and safer sea routes in the area as well creating new opportunities to drill for oil.
Island har ingen væbnede styrker, selvom landet var med til at grundlægge NATO i 1949.
Despite being one of the founding members of NATO, Iceland does not have a standing army.
Til gengæld har Island en national politistyrke, kystvagter og et luftforsvarssystem.
It does have a coast guard, national police forces and air defence system.
Island var et af de første vestlige lande til at anerkende de nye uafhængige lande i Øst efter Berlinmurens fald.
Iceland has always been one of the first to recognise newly independent countries.
Island var det første land, der anerkendte Litauens, Letlands og Estlands uafhængighed fra Sovjetunionen i begyndelsen af 19​​90´erne.
It was the first country to recognise the independence of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia from the USSR in the early 90s.
Endelig er Island Europas næststørste ø efter Storbritannien og den attende største i verden.
And one more fact: Iceland is Europe's second largest island after Great Britain and the 18th largest in the world.

Situationen i Ungarn: konsolidering eller underminering af demokratiske værdier?
Situation in Hungary: consolidation or undermining of democratic values?
Den ungarske parlamentsbygning i Budapest ©BELGA/MTI/Balazs Mohai Efter sidste måneds plenumdebat med Ungarns premierminister, Viktor Orban, afholder Udvalget om Borgernes Rettigheder og Retlige og Indre Anliggender torsdag en offentlig høring om den demokratiske situation i landet.
The Parliament building in Budapest, Hungary ©BELGA/MTI/Balazs Mohai After the widely followed January plenary debate with Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, the Civil Liberties Committee is holding a public hearing on Thursday to assess the civil rights situation in the country.
Repræsentanter fra internationale organisationer, det ungarske civilsamfund og den ungarske regering vil deltage i debatten.
Representatives of European and international institutions, Hungarian civil society and the Hungarian government will take part in the debate.
I januar drøftede MEP'erne den seneste politiske udvikling i Ungarn.
In January, MEPs already discussed recent political developments in Hungary.
Debatten fandt sted dagen efter, at Kommissionen havde indledt en overtrædelsesproceduresag mod Ungarn i forbindelse med landets forfatningsreform.
The debate took place a day after the European Commission had started infringement procedures against Hungary over the independence of its central bank and data protection authorities and measures affecting the judiciary.
Under debatten udtrykte flere politiske gruppeledere bekymring, ikke blot over de konkrete forfatningsændringer, men også over hvad de betegnede som en "bredere underminering af demokratiske værdier" i Ungarn.
In the debate several political group leaders raised concerns not only over these specific legal provisions, but also what they saw as a wider undermining of democratic values in Hungary.
Enkelte mente dog, at kritikken var overdrevet.
Others vigorously opposed this view, warning that such an approach went too far.
Ungarns premierminister Orbán sagde, at de specifikke problemstillinger, som Kommissionen havde rejst, kan løses hurtigt og nemt.
Prime Minister Orbán said that the specific problems raised by the Commission can be solved quickly and easily.
