Antallet af personer, som arbejder mere end 55 timer, er ligeledes steget til over 1,55 millioner.
In 1993, the UK negotiated an opt-out system, which authorised Member States not to apply the 48 hour limit under certain conditions, including the agreement in advance of the individual employee, the absence of negative consequences for workers who refuse to waive their rights and the recording of working hours of people who did waive their rights.
1 % af arbejdstagerne i Storbritannien har en ugentlig arbejdstid på mere end 70 timer,
Although this opt-out was not specific to the UK, this is where its provisions have been most widely used.
at antallet af personer, der har underskrevet en "opt-out"-aftale er meget større end det antal, der rent faktisk efterfølgende har haft en arbejdstid på mere ned 48 timer.
Concerns have been raised about potential abuse of the individual opt-out system, for example by workers being presented with the opt-out clause at the same time as their contract, which could be seen as limiting the individual's real freedom of choice.
Over 33 % af de britiske arbejdstagere har underskrevet en sådan "opt-out"-aftale og dermed over dobbelt så mange, som dem, der efterfølgende har arbejdet under ordningen.
A growing list of countries are proposing to apply the opt-out to certain sectors: France, Germany and the Netherlands in the health sector and Luxembourg for hotels and catering, for example.
Kritik af "opt-out"-misbrug I Cercas-betænkningen kritiserer EP skarpt misbruget af "opt-out"-klausulen - og især i Storbritannien.

Hvad definerer en terrorist?Colombias præsident forsvarer sig i EP's udenrigsudvalg
Professional qualifications: MEPs add extra safeguards
Colombias præsident Alvaro URIBE VELEZ deltog tirsdag aften i en debat i EP's udenrigsudvalg.
Stefano ZAPPALA' (EPP-ED, I)
På vegne af PPE-DE-gruppen ville spanieren José Ignacio SALAFRANCA SÁNCHEZ NEYRA vide hvordan EP kan hjælpe den colombianske regering med at fremme fredsforhandlingerne og forbedre menneskerettighederne.
Report on the proposal for a European Parliament and Council directive on the recognition of professional qualifications
Således sagde den portugisiske PSE'er António CAMPOS , at den colombianske regering bidrager til en militarisering af hele Colombia, hvilket er i strid med retssystemet.
By adopting the first reading report from Stefano ZAPPALA' (EPP-ED, I), Parliament voted to approve the Commission's proposed directive on the recognition of professional qualifications, albeit with a large number of amendments.
Campos var én af mange, der kritiserede forbindelserne mellem de paramilitære grupper og det colombianske politi.
This directive will simplify the rules relating to professional qualifications and applies to all nationals of a Member State wishing to practise a liberal profession in a state other than that in which they obtained their professional qualifications.
Der var udbredt kritik af Uribes hensigt om at mildne straffen for medlemmer af de paramilitære grupper til gengæld for samarbejde.
MEPs introduced a new article to clarify the distinction between the definitions of 'free provision of services' and ' freedom of establishment' in line with the case-law of the Court of Justice.
Herunder sagde den svenske liberale Cecilie MALMSTRÖM , at det er uacceptabelt at give straffefrihed til højtstående militære personer, der har begået frygtelige forbrydelser.
In the Commission's original proposal, the temporary 'provision of services' meant that the professionals could operate in another Member State for up to 16 weeks per year without registering there, but MEPs argue that the 16 weeks criteria is not appropriate to evaluate whether the activity constitutes a temporary, provisional service.
Monica FRASSONI (Verts/ALE, B) var den mest direkte i kritikken af Uribe.
The presence of infrastructure, duration and main purpose of the activity, its frequency, regularity and continuity should be taken into account instead.
Frassoni angreb præsidenten for at operere med dobbeltstandarder i definitionen af terrorisme .
The host Member State must exempt service providers established in another Member State from the requirements which it places on professionals established in its territory relating to the membership of a professional organisation or registration with a public social security body.
Frassoni efterlyste Uribes definition på hvad en terrorgruppe er, og ville i den forbindelse gerne vide hvordan den colombianske regering kan forhandle med de paramilitære grupper, men ikke med FARC.
Where the profession concerned is regulated in the host country but not in the Member State of origin, the host may require full registration with the appropriate authorities of the host country before the service provider pursues the professional activities.
Frassoni beskyldte Uribe for at udvise ligegyldighed overfor de fanger, der holdes som gidsler af FARC, og opfordrede Uribe til at indlede humanitære forhandlinger med FARC.
In these cases, MEPs see full registration as essential in the interest of both harmonisation of qualifications and protection of consumers.
Endvidere kritiserede Frassoni den colombianske regering for at samarbejde med de paramilitære grupper, der - efter Frassonis kilder - i mange tilfælde er narkobagmænd.
In the case of a regulated profession, which depends on the possession of specific professional qualifications, the Commission proposed that someone with the qualifications required in one Member State should have access to the profession in a second Member State, even if the level of qualification required in the second Member State is one step higher.
Frassoni accepterede således ikke Uribes definition af terrorister, idet hun henviste til, at de paramilitære grupper udøver såvel statsterrorisme som narkohandel.
MEPs opposed this, saying that access to the profession should be allowed only where the qualifications were of the same level, in order to discourage 'qualification shopping.'
Uribes svar til Frassoni var enkelt; den colombianske regering forhandler med de paramilitære grupper, fordi de har underlagt sig den vigtigste betingelse for fredsforhandlinger: at indstille alle voldshandlinger.
However, Parliament adds that if the level of training laid down for admission to a profession has been raised in the home Member State, the Member State of destination should allow professionals who have been admitted to the profession by virtue of a qualification obtained at the lower level to be recognised at the higher level.
Ifølge Uribe er såvel FARC som de paramilitære grupper terrorister, men hvis man ønsker fred, har man intet andet valg end at forhandle med disse grupper , under forudsætning af at de opfylder de grundlæggende betingelser for forhandling.
Parliament also adopted some other amendments specifying the level of education, saying that the professional qualifications can be proved not only by a diploma certifying successful competition of a full-time post-secondary course, but also by equivalent duration on a part-time basis, as well as the professional training which may be required in addition to that post-secondary course.
Uribe opfordrede EP til at lægge pres på FARC - og ikke på ham - for at få frigivet gidslerne.
Five years after its entry into force, the Commission is required to evaluate how the 'levels' system of professional qualifications of the diplomas works in practice.
I forbindelse med narkotikaproblemet sagde Uribe, at Colombia har brug for verdens støtte til at bekæmpe problemet.
If there are evident differences between the Member States, MEPs insist that the Commission come forward with proposals for a points and credit system linked to the quality and contents of the education and professional training in the different Member States.
Genopretning af den nordlige kulmulebestand:EP afviser Kommissionens forslag
CAP reform: MEPs warn of risk of growing inequalities in farmers' incomes
Ordfører: Dominique SOUCHET (NI, F)
Georges GAROT (PES, F)
EP vedtog - med 420 stemmer for, 91 imod, medens 7 undlod at stemme - en betænkning af Dominique SOUCHET (NI, F) om EU-Kommissionens forslag til genopretning af den nordlige kulmulebestand.
The European Parliament adopted an own-initiative report from Georges GAROT (PES, F), by 313 in favour to 60 against and 42 abstentions, based on a new in-depth study on the trends in the income of European farmers and the impact that the latest measures adopted under the common agricultural policy (CAP) reform could have on the agricultural income.
Kommissionen foreslår bl.a., at der skæres ned i antallet af fiskedage i et stort geografisk område, der går fra Kattegat og Skagerrak i nord til Biscay bugten i syd.
The CAP reform introduced a partial decoupling of financial aid to farmers, i.e. severing the link between farm subsidies and production levels while expanding the system of direct aid to compensate farmers for their income losses.
Dermed afviser EP EU-Kommissionens forslag til genopretningsplaner for den nordlige kulmulebestand.
In future, most farm subsidies will not be linked to production volumes and EU farmers will increasingly grow what the market wants.
EP mener ikke, at der er grund til at skære i kvoterne for en populær fiskeart, der i øjeblikket ligger på et stabilt niveau, hvad angår ressourcerne, og således ikke er truet.
In the resolution adopted today, the Parliament considers that " the fact that the granting of aid is not linked to agricultural production levels is liable to accentuate territorial problems and create an imbalance between sectors if a large number of farmers decide not to produce while continuing to receive aid ."
EP vedtog derfor en række ændringsforslag, der har til formål at "bløde" Kommissionens forslag op , bl.a. ved ikke at skære i "fiskedage" (ændringsforslag 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 13, 14, 15 og 17).
Furthermore, MEPs express their rejection of the decision that the future single payments will be based on the production levels registered by each farmer over a certain specific period, the so called 'reference period'. "
EP opfordrer i stedet Kommissionen til at intensivere den videnskabelige rådgivning og herefter - i samråd med fiskerne - opstille en aktionsplan med henblik på at forbedre ordningen for evaluering af bestandene (ændringsforslag 16).
The unfair system of decoupled aid, with its differentiated application in Member States, is liable to be deemed no longer acceptable by the general public and the WTO if it continues to be based on historically acquired by producers and does not allow a fairer remuneration for all farmers and all production in line with the principle of multifunctionality. "
Formålet med betænkningen er på grundlag af indkomstniveauet at vurdere EU-landbrugsmodellens bæredygtighed - en model der omfatter markeder, territorier og mennesker.
New measures will make more money available to farmers for environmental, quality or animal welfare programmes by cutting direct aid to bigger farms.
Fremskridtsperspektiverne for alle EU's landbrugsbedrifter og -regioner afhænger reelt direkte af deres indkomst.
At the same time, the single farm payments are tied to compliance with environmental, food safety and animal welfare standards.
Man kan konstatere, at det generelt kun har været muligt at holde landbrugsindskomsterne på gennemsnitsniveau på bekostning af meget vigtige omstruktureringer, hvilket har ført til en kraftig reduktion i antallet af aktive landbrug og en øget koncentration af bedrifter.
However, MEPs find these measures are insufficient: they deplore "the fact that the type of compulsory modulation adopted by the Council is inadequate " and stress that imposing compulsory co-financing will create " a serious hindrance to the development of the rural development policy ", which could be worse after enlargement of the EU.
Garot-betænkningen blev vedtaget med 313 stemmer mod 60 - medens 42 undlod at stemme.
Finally, the European Parliament calls for an increase in the CAP's second pillar resources (rural development funds), in addition to modulation funds.
Mål: Stabile indtægter!
Farm incomes in Europe: key figures Between 1995 and 2002 farm incomes in the EU rose on average by 7%.
I Garot-betænkningen minder EP om, at den fælles landbrugspolitiks vigtigste målsætninger er og bliver at sikre landbrugsbefolkningen ensartede levevilkår og stabile indtægter for at bevare landbruget som erhverv over alt i EU.
However income trends have been marked not only by very large disparities between countries, but also by the fact that during the same period, income levels have been maintained largely by a 15.7% drop in the number of farms.
Landmændenes indkomst steg 7 % i perioden 1995-2002 i EU som helhed, men denne forøgelse er kun sket som følge af
In fact, incomes have been preserved due to the concentration of productivity in a smaller number of producers and the abandonment of the land from small farmers.
en reduktion i antallet af bedrifter på 15,7 %,
The CAP has been a major influence on these trends.
en forøgelse af bedrifternes størrelse,
Since 1992, direct aid has had a decisive impact on farm incomes.
en intensivering af produktionen samt
The economic performance of a growing number of farms has increasingly depended on this new form of support.

Before the 2003 reform, it accounted for 56% of current income before tax, including all forms of production.
Landbrug og landbrugsforskning:Udvikling af et miljøvenligt og bæredygtigt landbrug
However, its most striking feature is its extremely high degree of concentration and the unfair nature of the aid system: 20% of farms, accounting for 59% of land and 25% of farming jobs, receive 73% of direct aid.
Ordfører: Friedrich-Wilhelm GRAEFE zu BARINGDORF (Verts/ALE, D)
Friedrich-Wilhelm GRAEFE zu BARINGDORF (Greens/EFA, D)
EP vedtog - uden ændringsforslag - en betænkning af Friedrich-Wilhelm GRAEFE zu BARINGDORF (Verts/ALE, D) om landbrug og landbrugsforskning i forbindelse med reformen af den fælles landbrugspolitik.
The European Parliament adopted an own-initiative report from Friedrich-Wilhelm GRAEFE zu BARINGDORF (Greens/EFA, D) in which MEPs call on the Commission to make the sustainability of agriculture a focus of research policy when implementing the sixth framework programme for research.
Det europæiske landbrug er komplekst og har en mangesidet tilknytning til miljøet og samfundets sociale og økonomiske systemer.
Following the mid-term CAP reform decisions, MEPs stress the need to redistribute research funds to increase studies on rural development, consumer protection, environmental and social aspects of agriculture and animal welfare standards, rather than on purely economic aspects of the agricultural production, such as intensification and industrialisation of agriculture.
EP mener, at den europæiske landbrugsforskning kan og skal bidrage til en forståelse af kompleksiteten og dermed styrke den europæiske model for et multifunktionelt landbrug.
Organic farming and coexistence with GMOs The sixth framework programme for research has a budget of around €16 billion, of which a maximum of 2% (€800 million) may be allocated to agriculture and rural development.
Det 6. forskningsrammeprogram har et samlet budget på ca. 16 mio. euro, hvoraf højst 2 % går til landbrug og udvikling af landdistrikter.
This applies to new technologies for food production, processing and packaging, including those involving genetically modified organisms.
EP mener, at forskningsbevillingen er utilstrækkelig set i lyset af, at landbruget er en central primærsektor, der opfylder langt flere opgaver end blot at producere fødevarer.
In contrast to these trends, MEPs consider that research on organic farming should be a priority and call on the Commission to ensure that coexistence measures - between GMOs and conventional crops - used in community-funded research are " scientifically monitored ". "
Endelig understreger EP, at forskningen i højere grad skal fokusere på udviklingen af et miljøvenligt landbrug der, udover at producere sunde fødevarer, skal sikre "en sund natur, et sundt landskab og et sundt miljø".
MEPs also consider that " favourable conditions for biotechnology research should exist in the Union " because it is an essential element in the Lisbon strategy and " can contribute to high-quality, sustainable agriculture. "

EP rejects recovery plan for northern hake

Forslag til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv om anerkendelse af erhvervsmæssige kvalifikationer
Report on the proposal for a Council regulation establishing measures for the recovery of the Northern hake stock
EU-Kommissionen fremsatte i marts 2002 et direktivforslag, der har til formål at præcisere og forenkle reglerne for den fri bevægelighed af kvalificeret arbejdskraft i EU .
The European Parliament expressed its disagreement with the recovery plan proposed by the Commission for hake in northern waters.
Dette medfører en større grad af accept af Kommissionens tekst i forhold til de indikationer, der har været dominerende i retsudvalgets arbejde.
The recovery plan envisages limits on the number of days vessels can spend at sea in a large geographical area ranging from the Kattegat and Skagerrak in the north to the Bay of Biscay in the south.
EP vedtog bl.a. et kompromisforslag, der specificerer kvalifikationsniveauerne for de intellektuelle erhverv .
In today's vote, MEPs passed a large number of amendments calling for a less severe " management " plan to replace the proposed " recovery " plan.
Dette omhandler indførelse af et point- og meritsystem svarende til det, der anvendes til studerende som led i Erasmus-udvekslingsordningen.
That would mean scrapping the " days at sea " scheme and relying on the usual management instruments - namely total allowable catches (TACs) and quotas.
I Kommissionens tekst svarer et såkaldt uddannelsesniveau 4 til en videregående uddannelse af mindst 3 års og maksimalt 4 års varighed.
Members also reminded the Commission of the need to consult Regional Advisory Councils on the effects of the plan and to improve scientific advice with the input of fishermen.

Herigennem yder EU støtte til den audiovisuelle sektor, og de afløser Media I- og Media II-programmerne, der blev iværksat i 1991 og 1996.
MEPs are primarily concerned about the situation of Afghan women, and believe that a strategy to improve the situation of women must be " a priority for the nation ".
Erfaringerne fra de foregående programmer har været et værdifuldt udgangspunkt for at gennemføre forbedringer i de nuværende Media-programmers måde at fungere på.
The report also urges the Council and the Commission to assist the ATA in setting up a country-wide system of safe shelters and support services to protect women and girls from further oppression.
Videreuddanne branchefolk Den 19. januar 2002 indførtes der et specifikt Media-uddannelse-program med et budget på 50 mio. euro for perioden 1. januar 2001-31. december 2005 .
MEPs express support for the new Constitution adopted on 4 January by the Loya Jirga (Grand Tribal Council), which includes a specific reference to the equal treatment of men and women.
Media-uddannelse indgår som led i et politisk svar på de hurtige teknologiske forandringer og strukturelle vanskeligheder i den europæiske audiovisuelle sektor.
Another cause for concern is the fact that among the constitutional Loya Jirga members are commanders and warlords who may reject anything which they see as strengthening the central government.
Formålet med Media-uddannelse er at forbedre den europæiske audiovisuelle programindustris konkurrenceevne ved at videreuddanne sektorens branchefolk og gøre dem bedre egnede til at møde de udfordringer, som væksten og diversificeringen på de internationale markeder fører med sig.
Regarding the deteriorating security situation, which is the main threat to the population, MEPs warn against the use of excessive force by the US army against potential 'terrorist' targets, resulting in the deaths of civilians, including children.
Forlængelse Kommissionen har fremlagt forslag om, at Media-uddannelse bliver forlænget frem til den 31. december 2006 med et budget på 57,4 mio. euro i forhold til de 50 mio. euro, der allerede var afsat til dækning af perioden frem til den 31. december 2005.
MEPs call for more funds to be allocated to the ATA's recurrent budget and ask the Commission to consider setting up a European Agency for Reconstruction in Afghanistan, on the lines of the agency working in Kosovo.
I en betænkning af den italienske socialist Gianni VATTIMO støtter EP Kommissionens forslag.
Finally, MEPs express their concern at the huge recent increase in illicit opium production in Afghanistan, which fuels the power and role of the warlords.
Vattimo-betænkningen blev vedtaget med 409 stemmer mod 14 - medens 16 undlod at stemme.
According to a survey by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, in 2003 Afghanistan produced three-quarters of the world's illicit opium, and the income of Afghan opium farmers and traffickers was about $2.3 billion, which is the equivalent of half the legitimate GDP of the country.

Human rights and democracy in Mediterranean countries
Forslag til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets beslutning om ændring af Rådets afgørelse 2000/821/EF af 20. december 2000 om iværksættelse af et program til fremme af udvikling, distribution og markedsføring af europæiske audiovisuelle produktioner (Media Plus - Udvikling, distribution og markedsføring)
Motion for a resolution on reinvigorating EU actions on human rights and democratisation with Mediterranean part ners
Media Plus har som mål at forbedre den europæiske audiovisuelle sektors konkurrenceevne på det internationale marked og øge europæiske producenters mobilitet.
MEPs maintain that civil society should be given a central role in the partnership with the Mediterranean countries and call for the implementation of policies aimed at creating a rich social fabric.
Programmet er et vigtigt redskab til at fremme den sproglige og kulturelle mangfoldighed og udvikle den audiovisuelle sektor i regioner og lande med ringe audiovisuel produktionskapacitet og/eller et begrænset sprogligt eller geografisk område.
MEPs call for the introduction of specific mechanisms to enable the human rights clauses included in the Euro-Mediterranean association agreements to be applied more effectively and efficiently.
Endelig tager Media Plus sigte på gennem digitalisering og netværkssamarbejde at udnytte den audiovisuelle arv, fremme det grænseoverskridende samarbejde mellem små og mellemstore virksomheder og udbrede nye typer audiovisuelt indhold ved brug af nye teknologier.
MEPs recognise that, in the context of this new spur to action by the Union, the European Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR) can only work within the framework of an overall human rights and democratisation policy.
Media Plus har et budget på 350 mio. euro , der er splittet op i 3 aktionsområder om udvikling, distribution og markedsføring af europæiske audiovisuelle produktioner samt forskellige pilotprojekter.
They believe it should continue to be systematically and flexibly applied in the Wider Middle East and the neighbouring countries in Wider Europe, in particular given the €17.5 million increase in funds included in the 2004 budget, among other things to support and actively encourage the process of acting on the ‘Sana’a Declaration’.
