Inden den polske præsidents tale havde EP-formand Pat COX holdt en velkomsttale, hvori han fastslog, at Europa-Parlamentet ser frem til Polens medlemskab af EU.
Indeed since the fall of the Berlin Wall, Poland itself had made rapid progress not only in transforming its economy but also on the political front.
Den polske kamp for friheden startede på skibsværftet i Gdansk i august 1980, og resultatet er at Centraleuropa nu vender tilbage til Europa.
As he put it, democracy, the rule of law and the development of civil society were all taken for granted while Poland's GDP had risen by some 50% since 1990, while inflation had dropped to 0.5%.
Cox mindede om, at Europa-Parlamentet den 9. april 2003 med mere en 90 % flertal havde stemt "ja" til Polens optagelse i EU .
He concluded by looking forward to a new united Europe based on solidarity and prosperity.

- Forslag til Rådets direktiv om supplerende bestemmelser til statutten for det europæiske andelsselskab (SCE) for så vidt angår medarbejderindflydelse
Report on the proposal for a European Parliament and Council directive on environmental liability with regard to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage
Procedure: Den fælles beslutningsprocedure - Førstebehandling (***I), Høringsproceduren (*)
Procedure : Codecision (1st reading)
I en betænkning af den tyske socialdemokrat Evelyne GEBHARDT støtter EP et forslag til forordning om en statut for det europæiske andelsselskab .
A large number of the amendments approved seek to broaden the scope of definitions used in the directive to include more cases in the 'polluter pays' principle.
Forordningen skaber en selvstændig struktur inden for EU-retten - en struktur, der eksisterer parallelt med de nationale selskabsformer.
One amendment broadens the definitions of 'European biodiversity' to cover not just the habitats and species protected by the EU but also those protected by national law (AM 93).
Gebhardt-betænkningen blev vedtaget med 440 stemmer mod 12 - medens 25 undlod at stemme.
In other amendments the concept of an 'operator' is broadened to cover not just the physical but also the economic operator of a harmful activity (AM 95), the meaning of 'conservation status' is brought into line with the Habitats Directive (AM 94) and the definition of 'land contamination' is widened to include radiation (AM 96).
EP vedtog også betænkning af den irske socialist Proinsias DE ROSSA om medarbejderindflydelse i det europæiske andelsselskab .
On the definition of the 'biodiversity damage' all amendments have been rejected, thus keeping intact that Commission proposal which defines it as any damage that has serious adverse effects on the conservation status of biodiversity (article 2.18a COM-proposal).
I betænkningen peger man på, at Rådet har valgt at høre Europa-Parlamentet på grundlag af EU-traktatens artikel 308 - hvilket kun kræver en simpel høring af EP.
With regard to nuclear and sea pollution - areas currently subject to specific international conventions - Parliament adopted amendments tabled by the ELDR, PES, GUE and Greens groups seeking to extend the scope of the directive to all cases where the relevant international convention has not yet been ratified by the European Community and/ or the Member States and has subsequently not yet entered into force (PSE, AM 99).
EP ser sig derfor delvist frataget sine beføjelser i henhold til den fælles beslutningsprocedure.
This constitutes a dramatic change to the Commission proposal since the latter explicitly excludes all these areas from the scope of the Directive.
Man mener dog ikke, at EP har meget at vinde ved at anfægte retsgrundlaget i dette specielle tilfælde.
Finally, MEPs voted to oblige, rather than simply 'encourage', Member States to promote financial security systems to cover cases where an operator cannot be held responsible for environmental damage (AM 107).
Udstødning fra fritidsfartøjer:Kompromis i Forligsudvalget
Statute for a European Co-operative Society
Ordfører: Martin CALLANAN (PPE-DE, UK)
Evelyne GEBHARDT (PES, D)
EP vedtog en betænkning af den britiske konservative Martin CALLANAN, hvori man støtter kompromiset fra Forligsudvalget om udstødning fra fritidsfartøjer .
The House argues that the proposal should in fact be based on Article 95 (formerly Article 100a, on which the proposal was originally based), which provides for the approximation of Member States' laws and administrative provisions with a view to the establishment and functioning of the internal market.
Bestemmelserne om udstødnings- og støjemissioner skal fremover gælde for alle motorer, hvad enten der er tale om en indenbordsmotor, påhængsmotor eller hækmotor og for vandscootere.
It maintains that Article 95 is a " lex specialis " in relation to Article 308 and constituted the correct legal basis for a regulation that was essentially aimed at harmonising Member States' laws, and hence reducing legal obstacles to the operation of the internal market, rather than creating new " supranational " law.
EP-budget 2004:Forberedelse af udvidelsen
Parliament’s budget for 2004
EP vedtog en betænkning af det britiske labourmedlem Neena GILL om EP's eget budget for 2004, hvor EU - den 1. maj 2004 - bliver udvidet med 10 nye medlemslande.
Parliament adopted a non-binding resolution on the involvement of employees in the European co-operative society.
EP går ind for, at der afsættes knap 152 mio. euro til udgifter i forbindelse med udvidelsen.
the right to negotiations on worker participation should not be limited to the period in which an ECS is being created.
EP mener, at EP-budgettet for 2004 bør lyde på 1,231 mia. euro, men det endelige beløb fastsættes først under budgetvedtagelsen i december.
Where there are substantial structural changes (e.g. mergers or the integration of other undertakings and companies), it should be possible to re-open negotiations;

EP vedtog en betænkning af den tyske SPD'er Wolfgang KREISSL-DÖRFLER om et forslag til Rådsdirektiv om bekæmpelse af mund- og klovsyge.
Given that reforms represent an element which will be duly taken into account by the Commission in the drafting of its December 2004 report to the Council on Turkey’s fulfilment of the Copenhagen political criteria for accession, Parliament adopted a joint resolution on the search made of the Ankara headquarters of the Human Rights Association of Turkey.
Den 17. december 2002 vedtog EP en betænkning - af samme ordfører - om mund- og klovsyge, hvori man krævede en revision af den hidtidige politik til forebyggelse og bekæmpelse af MKS i EU og medlemslandene.
MEPs are shocked by the raids carried out by members of the Anti-Terror Forces, accompanied by the Prosecutor of the Ankara State Security Court, against the headquarters and the branch office of the Human Rights Association (IHD) in Ankara on 6 May 2003.
Betænkningen blev vedtaget med 409 stemmer mod 10 - medens 6 undlod at stemme.
The House calls on the Turkish authorities to clarify immediately the reasons for this action.
Kommissionens ændrede forslag blev vedtaget med 410 stemmer mod 11 - medens 8 undlod at stemme.
Lastly, the House, notes that Turkey has amended most of its legislation regarding freedom of speech and association but regrets that these amendments still leave ample scope for repressive actions by the police and that little has changed on the ground.

Procedure: Forslag til beslutning
Agreement EU-Croatia on ecopoints
Den 27.maj er der møde i den Europæiske Rumfartsorganisation ESA's Ministerråd.
At Council's request, Parliament gave the green light for the agreement between the European Community and the Republic of Croatia on the ecopoint system applicable to Croatian traffic through Austria.
Derfor bekræfter EP i en beslutning behovet for at sikre Europa autonom adgang til rummet ved beherskelse og udvikling af "hensigtsmæssige teknologier".
The agreement establishes the number of ecopoints allocated to Croatian trucks for this year on the basis of the "no less favourable treatment for Community heavy goods vehicles" principle.
EP er chokeret over de aktioner, som medlemmer af anti-terrorkorpset bistået af anklagemyndigheden ved Statssikkerhedsdomstolen i Ankara har udført mod menneskerettighedssammenslutningen IHD 's hovedkvarter og afdelingskontor i Ankara den 6. maj 2003.
Given the unprecedented crisis in the EU's space industry, arising variously from increased international demand for launchers, stagnation in commercial launching requirements and the structural weakness of the European institutional market, in this resolution MEPs underline the need to guarantee that the EU has independent access to space via the mastery and development of the appropriate technologies.
Man opfordrer de tyrkiske myndigheder til omgående at gøre rede for grunden til denne aktion.
Secondly, MEPs are concerned about the financing of Galileo - the European Satellite system, indeed, the House urges the Member States concerned to overcome their differences and put the common interest first, to ensure that a final decision is reached on the financing and management of the GALILEO programme, enabling it to be rapidly implemented in tandem with the relaunch of the European launcher Ariane 5G.
EP opfordrer den tyrkiske regering til at tage konkrete skridt for at vise sit engagement i respekten for menneskerettighederne og nyvurdere retsbestemmelser for at garantere beskyttelsen af demokrati, gennemskuelighed og menneskerettigheder i Tyrkiet.
Finally, as far as the powers of the Union are concerned, MEPs welcome the presence of the European space objective in the present text of Article 3 of the draft constitutional treaty drawn up by the Convention on the Future of Europe, and believe that the European space policy should be included among the competences shared by the Union and the Member States.
EU-Rusland:Stategisk partnerskab?
Motions f or resolutions - Preparation for the EU-Russia summit
EP er overbevist om, at EU og Rusland bør udnytte mulighederne i partnerskabs- og samarbejdsaftalen bedre med henblik på en bredere og dybere europæisk integration.
In preparation of the upcoming EU-Russia summit, the European Parliament calls for having more special meetings and for the development of a strategic partnership in order to bridge the growing gap between the unifying Europe and Russia.
EP opfordrer Kommissionen til at formulere et "strategisk partnerskab" med Rusland for at slå bro over den voksende kløft mellem det stadig mere forenede Europa og Rusland.
More specifically, MEPs advocate intensifying EU-Russian cooperation in security and defence, the expansion of trade, a greater use of the euro in business transactions, greater technological and scientific cooperation, especially in the field of nuclear energy, and joint efforts in the fight against organised crime.
EP lægger op til at udvide de regelmæssige topmøder mellem de 2 parter og skabe tættere forbindelser mellem dem.
Parliament stresses that the transit arrangement for Kaliningrad should be in place by July of this year.

For many years, audio-visual performers (actors, dancers and other performers) have been waiting to be granted a protection of their Intellectual Property rights at international level.
EP vedtog en beslutning om beskyttelse af audiovisuelle kunstnere, hvori man opfordrer Kommissionen til at informere Europa-Parlamentet om, hvor langt WIPO-forhandlingerne om audiovisuelle kunstnere er nået.
Lastly, the House insists that there should be strong support for the protection of performers' rights, particularly in the audio-visual field where the lack of protection in many countries has a highly detrimental effect on the dissemination of European works at international level.

MEP’ernes statut/vedtægt: Endelig enighed om en statut?
Changes in the last 60 days Outgoing Members: Incoming Members:
Ordfører: Willi ROTHLEY (PSE, D)
Willi ROTHLEY (PES, D)
Godkendelse af medlemmernes statut i Europa-Parlamentet
Report on the adoption of a Statute for Members of the European Parliament
Procedure: Den ikke-lovgivningsmæssige procedure
Procedure : Own-initiative Report
Endnu 24 år efter det første direkte valg til Europa-Parlamentet i juni 1979 er der stadig ingen ensartet statut/vedtægt for medlemmerne af Europa-Parlamentet - MEP'erne.
He stated that the present rules on immunity and privileges date back to 1965 and there was a clear need for them to be updated.
I en betænkning af den tyske socialdemokrat Willi ROTHLEY støtter flertallet i EP's retsudvalg et udkast til statut for MEP'erne.
However, Mr Rothley recommended that the statute should be adopted at the same time as the new draft constitution, and it would be for an Intergovernmental Conference to examine the detailed proposals.
Man går ind for, at alle MEP'ers løn - uanset nationalitet - skal andrage 50 % af den grundløn, som en dommer ved EU-Domstolen oppebærer, dvs. ca. 8.500 euro pr. måned.
Finally, Mr Rothley welcomed the Bureau's proposal on travel expenses, which ties reimbursement to actual costs incurred.
Man understreger endvidere, at medlemsstaternes ret til at tage hensyn til vederlaget ved fastsættelse af beskatningen af anden indkomst ikke berøres heraf.
Göran FÄRM (PES, S), for the Budgets Committee, recognised that changes would have to be made if the reporter's position were to be adopted, since MEP salaries would then be financed through the Union budget rather than national budgets.
Under EP-debatten om udkastet til en statut for madlemmerne - som fandt sted mandag den 2. juni 2003 i Strasbourg - var der udbredt enighed om, at det nu er på høje tid at vedtage en statut for Europa-Parlamentets medlemmer.
A new reserve in the budget for 2004 in any case was foreseen with the possibility of raising the 20% ceiling for Parliament's expenditure of overall administrative expenses.
Formålet med statutten er at skabe "et rigtigt parlament", hvor vi viser, at vi er et fællesskab og ikke blot en international organisation.
He stressed that the Parliament was more than an " intergovernmental organisation " and that a common statute was essential.
Hvis vi ikke kan nå til enighed nu efter et kvart århundrede, hvornår skal vi så nå til enighed, spurgte Rothley.
Diana WALLIS (Yorkshire and the Humber), for the ELDR group, stated that the new statute combined with the new transparent rules on expenses would help to put an end to the endless stories in the UK media on MEPs' travel expenses.
Accepteres af Rådet!
This would be one of the last occasions where reform would be possible, she underlined.
Den spanske EU-kommissær Loyola de PALACIO understregede, at der er tale om et særdeles vanskeligt emne, som ikke har ændret sig siden 1965.
Ole KRARUP (DK), for the EUL/NGL group, on the other hand, said it was farcical that Parliament decided on its own MEPs' salaries and expenses.
Det er Kommissionens målsætning, at man når frem til en aftale, som kan accepteres af Rådet, ellers bliver der nemlig ingen aftale.
He said that in the Nordic countries, people would find it hard to understand why MEPs should earn €8 500 per month, which is more than many MPs.
Under ordførerrunden sagde den tyske kristelige demokrat Klaus-Heiner LEHNE , at Rothley i de sidste 5 år har udvist en uendelig tålmodighed - og at man nu er nået frem til en velafbalanceret vedtægt.
Neil MacCORMICK (Scotland) for the Greens/EFA group stated that Parliament was facing a " democratic crisis " and that the present system of reimbursement of expenses was almost " totally indefensible. "
Vi har brug for en fremadskuende statut, som har til formål at skabe samme betingelser for alle MEP'er, sluttede Lehne.
Rijk van DAM (NL), for the EDD group, stated that this had been a long running issue and he found it hard to explain to his voters why different MEPs presently earned different amounts.
