Euromed:Parlamentarisk forsamling?
Latest on Euromed
EP vedtog en beslutning om Euromed - dvs. samarbejdet mellem EU og Middelhavslandene.
Parliament adopted a joint resolution on Euromed reaffirming the need to ensure, through dialogue, a mutual awareness and understanding of genuinely equitable cooperation in the Euro-Mediterranean area with a view to strengthening the rule of law and democracy, improving its inhabitants' living conditions and maintaining peace.
EP fastslår, at det er bydende nødvendigt - via dialog - at sørge for gensidigt kendskab og forståelse samt stabilitet i Euro-Middelhavsområdet for at forbedre levevilkårene for befolkningerne i området - og for at bevare freden.
The House is strongly in favour of closer parliamentary cooperation and calls on all the Member States to help step up Euro-Mediterranean parliamentary dialogue.
EP er varm fortaler for at styrke det parlamentariske samarbejde, og man mener, at der bør oprettes en parlamentarisk Euro-Middelhavs-forsamling , som vil være det bedst egnede værktøj til et tættere samarbejde.
MEPs emphasise the urgent need for the cycle of violence afflicting the Middle East to be brought to an end by means of full implementation of the road map and achievement of the goal of 'two peoples, two states'.
Beslutningen blev vedtaget med 414 stemmer mod 9 - medens 22 MEP'er undlod at stemme.
Parliament restates its support for those in Israel and Palestine who are working for a fair settlement to the conflict, and for the Peace Coalition that drew up the Geneva Agreement.
Associeringsaftaler Denne fremtidige forsamling skal have til opgave at sikre, at Euro-Middelhavs-partnerskabet fungerer efter hensigten og fremme den korrekte gennemførelse af associeringsaftalerne mellem EU og Middelhavs-partnerlandene .
The House reiterates that priority should be given to combating illegal immigration and the mafia-type organisations which encourage it, always bearing in mind the principle of shared responsibility and solidarity between the Mediterranean partner countries.

The House calls on the European Union to take an initiative to examine the establishment of an International Environmental and Non-Proliferation Oversight Agency for the purposes of co-ordination of efforts to help Russia to tackle the serious environmental problems caused by radioactive waste.
Endvidere opfordrer EP Rusland til, at indlede forhandlinger med alle involverede parter, for snarest at opnå en politisk løsning på problemet, der i følge EP ikke blot kan forsvares som en del af "krigen mod terror" .
Parliament regrets the lack of concrete proposals explicitly targeted to benefit the indigenous peoples in the area, with regard in particular to the Sami, whose political representation should be increased.
Den nordlige dimension: Konkrete tiltag efterlyses
Report on 'Wider Europe - Neighbourhood: A New Framework for Relations with our Eastern and Southern Neighbours'
EP vedtog et forslag til beslutning om Den nordlige dimension.
The resolution adopted constitutes the Parliament's response to a Commission paper on a new framework for relations with the EU's eastern and southern neighbours.
På Rådsmødet i Bruxelles i oktober 2003 blev den anden handlingsplan for den nordlige dimension (2004-2006) underskrevet.
The resolution deals with the idea of a strategy for relations with the countries to the east and south of the European Union after enlargement, with the aim of promoting peace, security, democracy and economic stability.
Den anden handlingsplan fokuserer især på det bredere europæiske naboskab , der bliver en realitet med EU's udvidelse i maj næste år.
A second group of common policies should deal with the free movement of people, judicial co-operation, the fight against terrorism and conflict prevention.
Der er primært fem prioritetsområder for EU's politik for den nordlige dimension :
MEPs believe that the idea of "neighbourhood" relations should also cover joint efforts in areas such as illegal immigration, illegal trade and the fight against corruption.
økonomi og infrastruktur,
A third set of policies would include the free movement of goods, services and capital as well as employment.
sociale spørgsmål (herunder undervisning, uddannelse og offentlig sundhed),
The House adds that the security of the EU's external frontiers also requires effective, co-ordinated measures against drug trafficking, fraud and trafficking in human beings.
miljø, atomsikkerhed og naturrigdomme,
The resolution also makes reference to Libya and Mauritania, two observer members of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership, as well as the Gulf states.
retlige og indre anliggender og
The same principle applies to the potential candidate status of the western Balkan countries.
samarbejde på tværs af grænserne.
However, the same degree of attention is needed on human rights.
Flere mente, at de miljømæssige aspekter i praksis er blevet underprioriteret, og herunder blev det kritiseret at der forefindes atomaffald og farlige A-kraft-værker i Rusland.
Lastly, they call for the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe to expand its remit to include the countries of the Mediterranean basin.

Sydøsteuropa: Drop bilaterale aftaler med USA!
Intergovernmental Conference
Ordfører: Jan Joost LAGENDIJK (Verts/ALE, NL)
IGC - Parliament should retain democratic control of EU €110 billion budget
Stabiliserings- og associeringsprocessen i Sydøsteuropa (2. årsberetning
Motion for a resolution on financial provisions of the draft treaty establishing a constitution for Europe to conclude the debate on the budgetary aspects included in the progress report on the ICG
EP vedtog en betænkning af den hollandske grønne Joost LAGENDIJK om EU-Kommissionens 2. årsberetning om stabiliserings- og associeringsprocessen i Sydøsteuropa.
Parliament supports the financial provisions laid down in the draft Treaty even being aware that it does not preserve the current balance of powers between the European Parliament and the Council.
EP understreger, at der kun er et "europæisk perspektiv" for landene i det sydvestlige Balkan, såfremt de lever op til "Københavns-kriterierne" fra juni 1993, og man opfordrer Rådet og Kommissionen til at gøre hjælpen til disse lande og deres udsigter til EU-medlemskab afhængig af:
The House recalls the significant concessions the Parliament has accepted, in particular to insert the new multiannual financial framework into the Constitution and to fully leave the final decision on own resources to the Member States meeting in the Council.
samarbejde med den Internationale Krigsforbryderdomstol (ICC),
MEPs condemn forcefully the suggestions regarding modifications to the financial provisions in the Draft Treaty, discussed at the informal Ecofin Council in Stresa and at the Intergovernmental Conference.
Bilaterale aftaler med USA Europa-Parlamentet finder det uønskværdigt, at et land fra det sydvestlige Balkan kan blive EU-medlem i fremtiden, såfremt det har indgået en bilateral aftale med USA, som hindrer den Internationale Krigsforbryderdomstol i at arbejde fuldstændigt effektivt!
Finally, MEPs call on the Member States to consider that any attempt to reduce the powers vested in Parliament as an arm of the Budgetary Authority would result in creating a serious democratic deficit in the functioning of the Union.

EU defence equipment
Ordfører: Luís QUEIRO (UEN, P)
Luís QUEIRO (UEN, P)
EP vedtog en betænkning af den portugisiske UEN'er Luis QUEIRO om en meddelelse fra EU-Kommissionen om en EU-politik for forsvarsmateriel.
Parliament adopted a non-binding resolution drawn up in response to a Commission paper on an EU defence equipment policy.
EP støtter Kommissionens oplæg, som lægger op til et snævrere samarbejde om rustningsmateriel i EU.
The EU Member States should therefore make a commitment to military expenditure over a period corresponding to their long-term defence obligations.
Europa-Parlamentet erindrer om, at EU-landenes forsvarsudgifter udgør 50 % af USA's forsvarsbudget, men at slutresultatet med hensyn til militær kapacitet kun svarer til 10 %.
Controls on intra-Community transfers of defence equipment should be reduced, administrative procedures should be simplified and national licence systems should be approximated.

Joint debate: 03.12.2003
"Trojansk hest" Den italienske statssekretær fastslog, at EU's institutionelle rammer helt klart er det mest følsomme område.
On defence issues, the Minister welcomed the considerable progress particularly with regard to the " mutual assistance clause, structural co-operation and the defence protocol setting out conditions for involvement in CFSP. "
Han pegede på følgende områder, hvor der stadig er uenighed og debat:
The next Ministerial conference to be held on 8th December would help, he remarked, to resolve some outstanding issues.
nogle lande ønsker flere MEP'er, men det totale antal MEP'er må ikke forøges,
Mr Antonione stated that the most sensitive issues were mainly interinstitutional in nature.
Formandskabet for de forskellige Råd, hvor man drøfter forslag om 3 medlemmer af formandskabet i en 18 måneders periode.
As to the Council's Presidency, the idea of a 3-country - 18 month EU presidency had received some support.
man skal undgå "forskellige hatte" for den ny EU-udenrigsminister.
There was also no agreement on the role of the new Foreign Minister with some Member States wanting him/her to be Head of the Foreign Affairs Council while others wanted him/her to be mandated to the European Commission.
Nogle tror, at han vil blive en "trojansk hest" i Kommissionen, og at det vil svække Kommissionen udadtil,
There was also disagreement on his/her future title with some Member States preferring " Representative" rather than "Minister ."
Sammensætningen af Kommissionen efter 2009.
As to the future composition of the Commission post 2009, the long-running debate on one Commissioner per Member State or a smaller collegiate body was still unresolved.
Vi skal skabe en strømlinet, fleksibel Kommission, hvor hvert medlemsland har en kommissær med stemmeret og
The Minister did stress that the Member States and accession countries would have to give up their " fair return " principle where every concession was compensated for by another concession.
Kvalificeret flertal kontra "dobbelt flertal" .
If this were to continue, it could " fundamentally undermine the future of the European Union ."
Nogle lande forsvarer stemmevægtene fra Nice, medens andre ønsker "dobbelt flertal", hvor mindst 50 % af medlemslandene, der repræsenterer mindst 50 % af befolkninger skal stemme for beslutninger i Rådet.
Turning to other subjects on the agenda for the European Council agenda, Minister Antonione stated that the EU's growth initiative would be particularly important and also looked forward to the Heads of State and Government taking positive decision on transport infrastructure projects with the assistance of capital from the European Investment Bank.
EU i det 21. århundrede Antonione understregede, at der står meget på spil, og at vi skal skabe grundlaget for EU i det 21. århundrede .
He welcomed the decision to increase EU support from 10% to 20% for financing trans-European transport Networks.
Alle medlemslande skal være lige, og vi bør opgive kravet om en "modydelse" , hver gang vi giver indrømmelser.
On Justice and Home Affairs, the Minister welcomed the decision to set up a new Agency for Border Management.
Han fastslog, at den nye forfatning skal være en succes, og at der ikke er modsætninger mellem nationale og europæiske interesser.
On asylum however, the Minister was disappointed that no agreement had been reached on minimum procedural rules for asylum, or on the status of refugees and subsidiary protection.
Fare for tilbageskridt!
The Minister did welcome progress on a framework directive on fighting the trade in drugs.
Formanden for EU-Kommissionen, italieneren Romano PRODI var enig i, at der står meget på spil under EU-topmødet i Bruxelles 12.-13. december, hvor Konventsmetoden skal stå sin prøve.
Turning to accession negotiations, the Minister looked forward to the accession countries formally joining the Union but cautioned that in some areas of the " aquis " there was still more work required.
