EP går ind for, at EU skal spille en mere fremtrædende rolle i forbindelse med vedtagelse og fastsættelse af internationale regler på transportområdet.
Europe also has to speak with one voice when it comes to the " open skies " agreements with the USA.
Det er således ikke længere acceptabelt, at EU som en af de største og ledende magter må stå uden for, når der udarbejdes globale regler, der vedrører beføjelser, der falder ind under EU-traktaterne.
Bilateral " open skies " agreement with a couple of Member States were an anomaly and were against the principle of a single market free of discriminations.
Rådets fælles holdning med henblik på vedtagelse af Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv om markedsadgang for havnetjenester
Parliament is also demanding that the Russian authorities halt their practice of charging air carriers for the right to fly over Russia.
EP vedtog en betænkning af den tyske CDU'er Georg JARZEMBOWSKI om et direktivforslag om markedsadgang for havnetjenester.
The Commission is also invited to foster the integration of inland waterway transport markets in the enlarged EU and to contribute a pan-European inland waterway transport by proposing the accession of the Community to the Danube Commission.
EP foreslår, at lodstjenester udelukkes fra direktivets anvendelsesområde - på grund af offentlighedens interesse i søfartssikkerheden.
Finally, the Commission should pursue a policies with Eastern European countries that liberalise the freight railway services and aim at the rapid establishment of interoperability and high safety standards in this area.

Krisen i Irak:Afvæbning uden krig?
Iraq - keeping up the pressure
Det var den generelle holdning under Europa-Parlamentets debat om krisen i Irak, som fandt sted onsdag den 12. marts 2003 i Strasbourg.
The Iraqi crisis, he said, should be seen in the broader context of fighting international terrorism and questions of the Middle East.
Flere talere pegede på, at de 260.000 amerikanske troppers tilstedeværelse i regionen har bevirket, at Irak har givet efter og er ved at lade sig afvæbne.
The EU, he said, had a special responsibility to respond to global challenges by promoting the values of freedom and democracy, values that are shared, he said, with the USA.
Derfor er der ingen grund til krig - idet vi allerede har vundet, som den franske grønne Daniel Cohn-Bendit sagde.
In line with the conclusions of the Summit, he stated that inspections could not go on forever.
Fredelig, diplomatisk løsning?
However, the Iraq crisis, he commented, had acutely increased the tension between the US and Europe.
FN's våbeninspektører skal have mere tid, beslutningerne skal træffes i FN's Sikkerhedsråd og Bagdad skal indfri kravene fra FN's Sikkerhedsråd.
On Turkey, the Minister was concerned about the impact of war on the country and the regions, citing the impact on Kurdish question as a particular difficulty.
Papandreou pegede på det spændte forhold til USA, og at det fulgte i kølvandet på tidligere uenighed mellem EU og USA om Kyoto-aftalen og oprettelsen af den International Straffedomstol.
Mr Papandreou emphasised the importance of multilateral approach and said the Presidency would ensure an EU common position, as much as possible within the UN.
Vi har fælles værdier med USA - frihed, demokrati og fred - og vi ønsker alle et fortsat samarbejde med USA, men det er nødvendigt med en debat om vor fremtidige fælles sikkerhed.
Reinforcing his criticism of national divisions, he added " mere inter-governmentalistm is a recipe for weakness and mediocrity: for a European common policy of the lowest common denominator ".
Langtidsinteresser Den britiske EU-udenrigskommissær Chris PATTEN understregede, at vi kan drage en lære af den sidste tids begivenheder, nemlig at det er vigtigt at udvikle FN's rolle og beføjelser, idet det er i hele verdens interesse, at magt begrænses af internationale regler .
Nevertheless, he did point out that there had been achievements in recent times, notably in the Balkans and Afghanistan, and he acknowledged it could even be possible for small groups of states to act as a driving force for a European policy, but he was firmly of the view that this could not be achieved without a better system to put in place a common approach.
Den amerikanske holdning til ikke at ville overholde internationale forpligtelser er farlig, og det er nødvendigt med internationalt samarbejde og international disciplin for at bekæmpe terrorismen.
On the downside, the refusal of the US to ratify the nuclear Test Ban Treaty did not set a good example to countries such as Iran or North Korea and neither did the US position on the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.
Patten pegede på, at en krig i Irak kan skade FN's myndighed - og det transatlantiske forhold - og i den sammenhæng må vi se på vore langtidsinteresser.
His conclusion, therefore, was that European efforts should be directed towards minimising the worst effects, not only of the death and destruction brought by war but of the destabilising impact on Iraq's neighbours and the damage to the authority of the UN, NATO and transatlantic relations.
Styrke terrorismen?
This, he felt, should be tackled by redoubling efforts to shore up the Common Foreign and Security Policy, not to abandon it.
Patten sluttede med at understrege, at såfremt det kommer til krig i Irak, så bør den være kortvarig, og han pegede på, at en besættelse af Irak - uden fred i Mellemøsten - vil styrke terrorismen, som vil kunne ramme os alle.
He recognised the stated commitment of the US to take a much more proactive role in the peace process here, but did express the fear that the outcome of a war in Iraq could be followed by more violence and terrorism in Palestine and Israel.
Han var bekymret over, at USA er kommet på anklagebænken.
There was no doubt, he said, that Iraq should disarm fully and he expressed concern that the US was being blamed for enfolding events here.
Det er godt vi har USA, de er vore venner og partnere, og vi må ikke glemme USA's indsats mod nazismen og kommunismen.
Recalling the reaction of the international community to the events of 9/11, he felt it was now important to emphasise Europe's friendship and partnership with the US and recognise its contribution to international affairs and promoting democracy in the past.
Pöttering fastslog, at Saddam kun nedruster fordi amerikanerne har 260.000 tropper i regionen , og det vil være fantastisk, hvis vi kan tvinge Saddam til at nedruste uden krig.
If the US could persuade Saddam to disarm peacefully with the threat of military action in the presence of 260,000 troops, then this would be no mean achievement, he said.
Han pegede på, at der ikke er for meget USA, men derimod for lidt Europa.
He did, however, emphasise the need to act through respect for international law and the United Nations.
Hver går sin egen vej i EU, og derfor har vi ingen indflydelse hverken på USA eller på verdensscenen.
He appealed to the new government in Israel to make a concerted effort for a peaceful solution to the Middle East crisis and to work for a democratic Palestinian state.
Formanden for den socialistiske gruppe, spanieren Enrique BARÓN sagde nej til tyranner som Saddam Hussein og nej til masseødelæggelsesvåben.
Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (E), for the PES group, asked the Greek Foreign Minister to deliver a clear message to the Spring European Council: no to proliferation, no to tyrants and no to unilateralism; but yes to the UN process, yes to disarmament and yes to democracy.
Derimod sagde han ja til FN, afvæbning og demokrati.
This he said, was the simple message that all could agree on.
Baron pegede på, at våbeninspektørerne har gjort fremskridt, og at vi skal have en fredelig løsning uden krig.
A pre-emptive strike, he contended, would contravene international law, and furthermore was unnecessary.
Watson delte ikke den amerikanske præsidents holdning og fastslog, at stadig overvågning er bedre end krig.
The costs of war and reconstruction, he outlined, would be much higher than continued inspections and containment.
Vi befinder os i et kritisk øjeblik i FN's historie, og det kan få alvorlige konsekvenser, hvis FN lades i stikken.
War he said could only be swift with UN support, if unilateral military action is taken, otherwise there was a risk that the world could enter into a second hundred years war.
Nøglen til demokrati Den franske grønne Daniel COHN-BENDIT kunne ikke forstå, at nogen stadig ville gå i krig, idet vi jo allerede har vundet via de amerikanske troppers pres på Saddam Hussein .
Colin Powell's efforts to blackmail Members of the Security Council, he said, were reprehensible, instead, he commented, the US should listen to figures such as Nelson Mandela, Jimmy Carter and the Pope who had spoken out against war.
Der er ikke brug for krig, når Irak nu afvæbnes via FN's våbeninspektører.
He said this was particularly important for Germany, France, Spain and the UK - the EU Members of the Security Council.
USA tager fejl!
While he recognised the right of the USA to defend itself, he felt there had been no proof provided of any link between Al Qaeda and Iraq, thus if the USA was acting from any other motive then the international community should be told.
Den franske UEN'er Charles PASQUA understregede, at USA tager fejl, og at en krig vil have alvorlige konsekvenser - den kan bl.a. skabe en ny terroristgeneration !.
The danger of military action, he warned, would be to open a new front for terrorism.
Pasqua støttede den franske præsident Jacques Chiracs holdning, nemlig at undgå en militær aktion for enhver pris.
He supported disarmament as the way forward and the French President exercising a veto to oppose a military operation.
De onde kræfter Jean-Marie LE PEN fra le front national pegede på den styrkede modstand mod krig - bl.a. Frankrigs, Tysklands og Ruslands holdning.
For Bastiaan BELDER (NL), speaking for the EDD group, the problem was putting in place a UN inspection system with a firm deadline authorising military intervention in the failure of Saddam Hussein to comply.
Det vil ikke være en vanære for USA at give afkald på krigen , som vil være skadelig og farlig for folkeretten.
It would, he said, be paradoxical if Saddam's actions succeeded in promoting disunity amongst European leaders.
Le Pen foreslog, at hvis man vinder en fredelig sejr uden krig, så bør George W. Bush tildeles Nobels fredspris .
Jean-Marie LE PEN (IND, F), on the other hand, held out the possibility of awarding the Noble Peace Prize to George W. BUSH if he could achieve the disarmament of Saddam Hussein in a peaceful way.
Hvis vi får krig vil det have dramatiske følger, idet de onde kræfter får frit spil overalt i verden.
The action of the French, German and Belgian governments in withholding support for Turkey was, he said, " deplorable ".
Formålet med krigen Pernille FRAHM fra SF troede, at formålet med krigen var at afvæbne Irak, men nu taler man om at udskifte diktator Saddam Hussein.
Inspections, he stressed, could not go on forever, a clear timetable had to be set otherwise Saddam Hussein would simply draw out the process further.
Men hvis man vil et regimeskift i Irak, hvor er EU så henne, spurgte hun.
If Iraq is not disarmed, he said, the credibility of the UN would be totally undermined.
EU burde hjælpe flygtninge fra Irak , og vi burde støtte de demokratiske bevægelser i Irak.
Those who made reference to former Presidents and to the Pope were mistaken, since as he put it, they were " totally powerless ."
Mogens CAMRE fra Dansk Folkeparti mente, at alle vore smukke ord om afvæbning er tomme i en situation, hvor Saddam Hussein ikke drømmer om at lade sig afvæbne.
Indeed he pointed to rather earlier dubious US foreign policy decisions which in effect allowed Al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein to thrive.
Han mente, at Europa fortsatte appeasement-politiken over for Hitler fra før 2. verdenskrig - men vi er magtesløse, hvis vi kun bruger ord, sluttede Mogens Camre.
He urged both the British Government and the US pause and reflect about taking any action without UN authorisation.
Ekstraordinær generalforsamling?
This would be a blow not only to the UN but to the CFSP as well.
Selskaber med begrænset ansvar:Offentlighed i internetalderen
For the future he looked forward to the US playing a positive role in a resolution of the Israel/Palestine conflict.
Ordfører: Klaus-Heiner LEHNE (PPE-DE, D)
Geoffrey VAN ORDEN (EPP-ED, Eastern) said the divisions in the international community were extremely dangerous.
Forslag til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv om ændring af Rådets direktiv 68/151/EØF for så vidt angår offentlighed vedrørende visse former for selskaber
David SUMBERG (EPP-ED, North West) found himself in what he called an " extraordinary situation " of supporting a Labour Prime Minister and a Labour leader in the European Parliament.
Procedure: Den fælles beslutningsprocedure – Førstebehandling (***I)
Edward McMILLAN-SCOTT (EPP-ED, Yorkshire and the Humber), however, put the failure of the CFSP down to Europe itself.
netalderen/computeralderen for selskaber med begrænset ansvar.
He called for a new and full dialogue with the US on issues that divide the two continents.
”BNI-forordningen”: Fremme sammenlignelige data
On Cyprus, he said the issue was still one and he hoped to see a united Cyprus joining the EU.
Ordfører: Astrid LULLING (PPE-DE, L)
EU Military Mission to Macedonia
Forslag til Rådets forordning om harmonisering af bruttonationalindkomsten i markedspriser ("BNI-forordningen")
Council and Commission statements on the military mission of the Union in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia
EP vedtog en betænkning af den luxembourgske PPE'er Astrid LULLING om "BNI-forordningen", som skal fremme sammenlignelige data om bruttonationalindkomsten i EU-landene
He called the EU's first military mission an "historic step" in the building of a strategic defence and security policy, and said furthermore that the mission formed a part of a wide range of areas where the EU would be taking over from NATO.
Alternativ konfliktløsning:Ikke-obligatorisk valgmulighed?
He also called on France to rejoin NATO's integrated military structure.
Ordfører: Diana WALLIS (ELDR, UK)
Othmar KARAS (EPP-ED, A)
Kommissionens grønbog om alternativ konfliktløsning på det civil- og handelsretlige område
Report on the Council common position for adopting a European Parliament and Council directive on the activities and supervision of institutions for occupational retirement provision
EP vedtog en betænkning af den britiske liberale Diana WALLIS om en grønbog fra EU-Kommissionen om alternativ konfliktløsning på det civil- og handelsretlige område.
The compromise amendments seek to strike a balance between different practices across the EU whereby in continental countries social benefits covering disability or provision for survivors ( biometric risks ) are offered whereas in countries such as the UK the benefit is seen as a financial product.
EP mener, at der skal være tale om en ikke-obligatorisk valgmulighed , som ikke underminerer parternes ret til at anlægge sag ved domstolene.
For example, one amendment permits the Member States to allow a fund the right to offer provisions for survivors and disability cover, if this is requested by employers and employees.
Biobrændstoffer til transport:Fremme anvendelsen
Member States are to be given two years to implement the new legislation.
Ordfører: María del Pilar AYUSO GONZÁLEZ (PPE-DE, E)
María del Pilar AYUSO GONZÁLEZ (EPP-ED, E)
Rådets fælles holdning med henblik på vedtagelse af Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv om fremme af anvendelsen af biobrændstoffer til transport
Report on the Council common position for adopting a European Parliament and Council directive on the promotion of the use of biofuels for transport
Formålet med Kommissionens forslag er, at tilvejebringe en solid retlig ramme, der skal give investorerne sikkerhed, så teknologien for fremstilling og forbrænding af biobrændstofferne kan opnå en vis "teknologisk modenhed".
On a specific point, MEPs consider that fuel derived from vegetable oil should be recognised as biofuels and inserted in the definitions of biofuels as outlined in the proposed directive.
Baggrunden er, at bl.a. bioethanol og biodiesel ikke kan konkurrere med almindelig benzin og diesel.
Furthermore, MEPs demand that the Member States inform the Commission of the measures they have taken to reach the aim of 2% use of biofuels by 2005 and 5.75% by 2010.
Arbejdsmarkedets pensionssystemer: Kapitalmarkedet kontra social sikring

WTO - Transparency and fair treatment of developing countries crucial
Rådet fælles holdning med henblik på vedtagelse af Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv om arbejdsmarkedsorienterede pensionskassers aktiviteter og tilsynet hermed
Motions for resolutions - General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) within the WTO, including cultural diversity
EP vedtog en betænkning af den østrigske PPE'er Othmar KARAS om et direktivforslag fra EU-Kommissionen om at udbygge arbejdsrelaterede pensionsordninger med kapitaldækning.
Parliament adopted a resolution on the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) within the WTO.
Det drejer sig om at finde en balance mellem at skabe en ramme for kapitalmarkedet, som samtidig tager hensyn til pensionsmodtagernes sociale sikring.
MEPs call for further transparency, including full access to EU negotiating documents for all Members of the European Parliament.
Befolkningens tiltagende aldring i EU-landene udgør en stor udfordring for pensionssystemerne.
MEPs do insist, however, that developing and least developed countries should not be put under pressure to liberalise services, in particular public services.
Især i de tilfælde, hvor størstedelen af pensionerne er baseret på "pay as you go"-princippet - dvs. ingen kapitalændring - er det nødvendigt at fremme ordninger med kapitaldækning.
MEPs also welcome the Commission’s announcement that no offers of liberalisation are proposed in the health, education and audiovisual sectors.
Torsk og 40.000 job:150 mio. euro fra EU?
Parliament calls for €150 million package for communities affected by 'Cod Crisis'
Forslag til beslutning B5-0156/2003
Motion for a resolution - Socio-economic crisis in the white fish sector Doc.: B5-0156/2003
40.000 job er truet som følge af begrænsningen af torskefiskeriet i EU.
The plenary today called for an €150 million compensation package to be paid to coastal communities affected by temporary measures designed to limit the fishing of cod and other associated species in the North Sea.
Beslutningen blev vedtaget med 508 stemmer mod 7 - medens 27 undlod at stemme.
In approving the resolution, by a huge majority of 508 votes for, 7 against and 27 abstentions, drawn up by the Chairman of the Fisheries Committee, Struan STEVENSON (EPP-ED, Scotland), which follows on from the oral question debated Monday, members also asked the Council and Commission to adopt longer-term conservation measures designed to secure the maximum number of jobs in the sector.
Under debatten sagde Niels BUSK fra Venstre, at han støttede beslutningen, idet de dramatiske beslutninger har haft skadelige virkninger i de samfund, der lever af fisken og den industri, der er omkring fisken.
The temporary measures, in place since February 1st, are having an impact on all Member States with a North Sea coastline, but the hardest-hit area is expected to be Scotland.

Stabilitets- og vækstpagten: Fleksibel anvendelse!
Public spending and the Stability Pact
Ordfører: Manuel António dos SANTOS (PPE-DE, P)
Manuel António dos SANTOS (PES, P)
EP vedtog en betænkning af den portugisiske socialist Manuel António dos SANTOS om Kommissionens meddelelse om de offentlige finanser i ØMU'en i 2002.
MEPs adopted a resolution which expresses Parliament’s commitment to the Stability and Growth Pact and indeed calls for the basic principles governing the Pact to be enshrined in the new EU Treaty.
EP støtter stabilitets- og vækstpagten og går ind for de nødvendige tilpasninger med henblik på en fornuftig og fleksibel anvendelse af pagten.
MEPs are, however, very well aware of the current downturn in Europe’s economy and the pressure on public finances.
Onsdag den 12. marts 2003 om eftermiddagen havde Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg en debat om EU's militære mission i Makedonien - der er den første militære operation under EU-flag , og der er derfor tale om et historisk skridt .
Parliament does, therefore, want the Commission to push for the process of structural reform in the Member States to take the downturn into account.
Samme dag kl. 13 var Serbiens premierminister Zoran Djindjic blevet myrdet i den serbiske hovedstad Beograd.
At the same time, the resolution, while welcoming a new debate on the Stability and Growth Pact and financial and economic policies in general, reminds the Member States of their obligations to respect the Pact.
Djindjic var reformpolitiker og blev leder for Serbiens første ikke-kommunistiske regering i 2001.
Indeed, Parliament opposes any attempts to take other factors such as public investment in services into account when calculating the deficit.
