Den hollandske EDD'er Hans BLOKLAND mente ikke, at krænkelserne af menneskerettighederne i EU er så slemme som i visse andre lande - fx.
For the EDD, Hans BLOKLAND (NL), on the other hand, while recognising the need to compare respect for human rights in the EU with those elsewhere, did not feel there was a comparison between the situation in EU Member States and, for example, respect for religious freedoms in countries such as Pakistan.
Pakistan, og han var af den opfattelse, at der er tale om en politisk farvet betænkning.
Following up a point of order that Glyn FORD (PES, South West) made at the last plenary session, Mr Ford wanted to draw the President's attention to further developments and he raised this question again.

Grækenlands EU-formandskab: Akropolis 16. april 2003: Udvidelsen og demokratiets vugge
Changes in the last 60 day Outgoing Members : Incoming Members
Den 16. april 2003 bliver tiltrædelsestraktaterne med de 10 nye medlemslande underskrevet ved Akropolis i Athen.
Michael John HOLMES (IND, South West) as at 15.12.2002 Graham BOOTH (EDD, UK) as at 18.12.2002 Council & Commission Statement
Historisk periode Under fremlæggelsen af programmet for det græske formandskabet sagde den græske premierminister Konstantino SIMITIS, at vi er inde i en historisk periode i Europas udvikling, hvor vi skal sikre velfærd og solidaritet og arbejde for fred, retfærdighed og demokrati.
He then underlined the need for the EU to support peace and justice throughout the world.
Han mindede om de internationale kriser i Mellemøsten og med terrorismen, og EU bør her vise, at vi hele tiden er til stede, og at vi har en slagkraftig udenrigspolitik på den internationale scene.
The challenge, he said, was to develop positive policies to respond to current uncertainties over the economy with prospects of increased unemployment and threats to social cohesion through a rise in crime and increased illegal immigration.
Grækenlands 5 prioriteter Simitis pegede på Grækenlands 5 prioriteter under formandskabet:
As he put it, the message of the Presidency was "Our Europe: Sharing the Future in a Community of Values".
Udvidelsen : Den 16. april underskriver man tiltrædelsestraktaterne i Athen, og EP skal give "samstemmende udtalelse".
As to the specific priorities, he emphasised that the first one was pursuing the enlargement agenda and, in particular, negotiations with Bulgaria and Romania with a view to the accession of these two countries in 2007.
Tyrkiet bør finde sin plads i den europæiske familie, og skal have muligheden for at gennemføre reformer, så EU kan indlede udvidelsesforhandlinger med Tyrkiet.
At the same time he put on record his support for closer contacts with Turkey and indeed the opportunity for Turkey to come closer to the EU by adopting vital political and democratic reforms.
Vestbalkan skal gives udsigt til senere tiltrædelsesforhandlinger, og Cypern skal ind i EU som en hel stat,
As to Cyprus he emphasised his support for a united island joining the Union with the acceptance by both the Turkish and Greek communities of the benefits of the new UN plan.
"Lissabon-processen" : Vi skal skabe flere og bedre arbejdspladser og fremme en bæredygtig udvikling,
This would start with the Spring European Council and a continuing commitment to the "Lisbon strategy" concerning both economic and employment policy through new developments in the internal market.
Vi skal have en fælles politik om illegal indvandring og asylpolitik ,
The promotion of research, technology and e-Europe was vital here.
Konventet om EU's fremtid skal afslutte sit arbejde inden EU-topmødet i Thessaloniki den 21. juni 2003 og
Mr Simitis then emphasised his support for further developments in the opening up of the single market in the energy and transport areas as well as the integration of Europe's financial markets.
EU har en vigtig international rolle at spille, og vi skal styrke EU's sikkerheds- og forsvarspolitik.
While the objective was to work for an EU area of freedom, justice and security, he emphasised the need to take firm steps to deal with the problem of migratory flows.
Simitis understregede i denne forbindelse, at det græske formandskab vil arbejde for en fredelig løsning på Irak-krisen.
As to institutional questions, the European Council meeting in Thessaloniki would look at the results of the Convention with a view to convening a new Intergovernmental Conference to put treaty reforms into practice.
Konsolidering og integration!
He also expected to reach an agreement on the issue of European political parties.
Formanden for EU-Kommissionen, italieneren Romano PRODI pegede på, at 2002 havde været et bemærkelsesværdigt år med indførelsen af euroen og beslutningen om udvidelsen , men 2003 bliver også bemærkelsesværdig med gennemførelsen af udvidelsen og de institutionelle reformer.
The President of the European Commission, Romano PRODI said that 2002 has been an extraordinary year, with the launch of the euro at the start and the agreement on the accession of 10 new Member States at the end of the year., This new Europe, the President remarked, would engender new challenges.
Konsolidering og integration af de nye medlemslande bliver hovedemner i den kommende tid.
He agreed with Prime Minister Simitis that the EU must launch new strategies for the Balkan countries and the Mediterranean area.
Viden, uddannelse og forskning!
He commented that European companies were losing market share across the world, and that of the EU's largest companies, 40% of their research was carried out outside the EU.
Prodi lagde stor vægt på "Lissabon-processen" og pegede på, at vi har masser af uudnyttet potentiale i Europa, det kræver imidlertid en politisk vilje.
Candidate countries would bring new opportunities and skills to the EU, this he said, must be properly harnessed.
Dette er nødvendigt, for vi er ikke på omgangshøjde med USA og Japan med hensyn til investeringer og forskning!
The challenge for the EU, he outlined, was to create the conditions necessary for Europe to become a meeting place for young people where their skills are valued and nurtured.
EU bør tiltrække de bedste hjerne, og vi bør lokke vore unge tibage fra USA, ellers vil vi mangle friske unge hjerner, fastslog Prodi.
The EU should create new high quality universities and establish scientific centres of excellence.
Akropolis 16. april: Symbolsk!
As he put it, it is only in this way that EU economies become more dynamic and meet the challenges set out in Lisbon.
Under ordførerrunden sagde formanden for PPE-gruppen, tyskeren Hans-Gert PÖTTERING , at der er noget symbolsk omkring Akropolis den 16. april , for der fik demokratiet sit grundlag.
For the EPP/ED Hans-Gert POETTERING (D) welcomed the support of the Greek Presidency for concluding the present enlargement process and indeed the signing of the agreement due to be held in Athens.
PPE-gruppen ønsker en europæisk forfatning og et europæiske demokrati, der er gennemsigtigt, og Konventet skal afslutte sit arbejde inden Thessaloniki-topmødet i juni.
He looked forward to the Convention reaching positive conclusions on the institutional future of the EU during the Greek Presidency, enabling the Italian Presidency to bring in new changes under an Intergovernmental Conference.
"Økonomisk lokomotiv" Formanden for socialistgruppen, spanieren Enrique BARON pegede også på det symbolske i Akropolis -topmødet, hvor Grækenlands demokrati har sin vugge , og han mindede om, at OL afholdes i Athen i 2004.
But he expressed concern at the slow pace of reforms against the background of the present uncertain economic climate in such areas as taxation and the labour and product markets.
Han understregede, at grækerne burde udvise mod og smidighed omkring Tyrkiet, og håbede på, at EU kunne blive et "økonomisk lokomotiv" gennem "Lissabon-processen".
On foreign policy, he felt it was "unacceptable" for one EU country to go it alone on Iraq while he urged the acceptance of a European Parliament role through its delegation in negotiations with Russia over Chechnya.
Sælge udvidelsen til vælgerne Formanden for den liberale gruppe, skotten Graham WATSON fastslog, at 2003 er året, hvor vi skal sælge udvidelsen til vore vælgere - og især vælgerne i Østeuropa, hvor de jo skal have folkeafstemninger.
For the PES Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (PES, E) too looked forwarded to the conclusion of the arrangements for enlargement and welcomed prospects for Cyprus joining as a united island.
Den liberale gruppe støtter således en kampagne i ansøgerlandene.
Nevertheless, he too was concerned about a lack of progress in implementing the Lisbon strategy with the goals of full employment and social cohesion.
Watson sluttede med at fastslå, at EU er et værdifællesskab, der bør være udadrettet og generøst.
Daniel Marc COHN-BENDIT (F), for the Greens/EFA group, called for the Greek Presidency to use its traditional philosophical wisdom to deal with the question of Iraq.
Hun støttede det græske formandskab program om beskæftigelse og økonomisk politik, men nu får vi se, hvad der konkret kommer ud af det.
Mr Cohn-Bendit remarked that, in the case of an accident such as the Prestige, the company responsible should be fully liable for compensation.
Den franske grønne Daniel COHN-BENDIT sagde, at vi ikke har nogen beviser på, at Saddam Hussein har oprustet og igen er aggressiv, og EU må nu vise sin vilje til at forhindre en Irak-krig.
Lastly, on Cyprus he called for new leadership and a move away from Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot nationalism.
Cohn-Bendit sagde, at dem der har atomvåben forhandler vi med, medens vi tæver dem der ikke har (Irak) - og det er helt gak!
Gerard COLLINS (Munster), for the UEN group, stressed the importance of a multilateral approach towards Iraq and welcomed the work of the UN inspectors.
"Demokratisk eftersyn"?
However, he warned that the Iraq issue was a "Sword of Damocles that hung over all."
Jens-Peter BONDE fra JuniBevægelsen erindrede også om, at demokratiets vugge ligger i Grækenland, hvorfor Grækenland har pligt til at foretage et "demokratisk eftersyn" af EU.
For the EDD group, Jens-Peter BONDE (DK) advised the Greek Presidency to open up all its meetings, to publish all minutes of meetings, agree on a new statute for the European Ombudsman which would allow wider investigation and allow the Court of Auditors access to scrutinise everything including the company accounts that carry out projects for the EU.
Bonde foreslog grækerne at åbne alle Rådsmøder, give fuld aktindsigt, åbne mødereferater, åbne postlister fra Rådet.
He also advised the Presidency to keep the EU and defence separate, and to keep the rotating Council Presidency to allow all countries to have an input into the EU's work programme.
Bevar de skiftende formandskaber, hold EU og militæret adskilt og gennemfør en landbrugs- og budgetreform, foreslog Bonde.
Frank VANHECKE (B), a non-attached Member, called for an EU-wide referendum on Turkish membership of the EU.
Valg af EU-ombudsmand:Nødvendigt med 2. valgrunde
Mr Vanhecke was strongly against Turkey joining the EU and feared a "flood of immigration."
Tirsdag den 14. januar 2002 holdt EP sin første afstemning om valget af en ny EU-ombudsmand efter finnen Jacob Söderman.
The future, he contended, in terms of creating new jobs would depend on creating the right conditions enabling the service economy to prosper by removing existing restrictions and encouraging new businesses.
Da ingen af de 5 kandidater opnåede et flertal af de afgivne stemmer, er det nødvendigt med en anden valgrunde onsdag den 15. januar efter afstemningerne midt på dagen.
As far as Iraq was concerned, he did say the aim of the Presidency was to secure a common position between EU Member States and the issue would be on the agenda of the General Affairs Council meeting on 27 January.
Den 1. valgrunde gav følgende resultat:
He did not take the view that military intervention was inevitable.
Nikiforos DIAMANDOUROS 238 Giuseppe FORTUNATO 35 Pierre-Yves MONETTE 73 Roy PERRY 159 Herman WUYTS 16
Later in the Spring, the future of defence policy and in particular weapons procurement would also be on the Council's agenda.
Blanke eller ugyldige stemmer 15 Gyldige stemmer 521 Krævede absolutte flertal 261 Samtlige afgivne stemmer 536
On the question of CAP reform he said the aim was to concentrate resources on helping Europe's small farmers.

- Forslag til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv om ændring af Rådets direktiv 91/440/EØF om udvikling af Fællesskabets jernbaner

- Forslag til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv om ændring af Rådets direktiv 96/48/EF og direktiv 2001/16/EF om interoperabilitet i det transeuropæiske jernbanesystem
Report on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Directive 96/48/EC and Directive 2001/16/EC on the interoperability of the trans-European rail system
EP vedtog de 4 betænkninger fra EP's transportudvalg om den "2. jernbanepakke", som skal modernisere og liberaliesere EU's jernbaner .
A large majority of MEPs is in favour of a far-going liberalisation of the European railway network.
I betænkningen af den tyske CDU'er Georg JARZEMBOWSKI godkender EP - med en række ændringsforslag - Kommissionens forslag om at skabe et indre marked for EU's jernbanetransport.
In adopting the report by Georg JARZEMBOWSKI (EPP-ED, D) with 405 votes in favour, 113 against and 9 abstentions Parliament voted for a complete liberalisation of the international railway network - goods and passengers - by 1 January 2006.
Det skal bl.a. ske gennem åbning af de nationale og de internationale markeder for jernbanegodstransport.
It was also recommended that the national rail passenger services be opened up by 1 January 2008.
Jarzembowski-betænkningen blev vedtaget med 405 stemmer mod 113, medens 9 undlod at stemme.
Dirk STERCKX (ELDR, B) saw his report on guidelines for railway safety rules adopted with a large majority.
I en tredje betænkning af den franske GUE'er Sylviane AINARDI godkender EP - med en række ændringsforslag - et direktivforslag fra Kommissionen om interoperabilitet i det transeuropæiske jernbanesystem.
The reports by Silviane AINARDI (GUE/NGL, F) on interoperability and Gilles SAVERY (PES, F) on the setting up of a European Railway Agency were adopted as amended by the Transport Committee.
I en fjerde betænkning af den franske socialist Gilles SAVARY godkender EP et forslag om at oprette et EU-Jernbaneagentur , som udelukkende skal fungere som redskab for Kommissionen.
She explained that the proposals were in effect the second stage of a process begun in 2001 and set to come into force in 2003 but that with the freight share of transport, dropping from 15% in 1980 to just 8% in 1999, there was an urgent need for action.
Tirsdag den 14. januar 2002 diskuterede Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg Kommissionen forslag til den "anden jernbanepakke".
As to the role of the new Agency, she said the intention was for this to comprise 100 staff, to oversee joint moves towards improved safety, look at the question of professional qualifications, carry out monitoring national systems and help the Commission in its decision making role through implementing legislation.
Den "2. jernbanepakke" består af 5 forslag:
He stressed the importance of shifting transport towards rail and away from the road.
etablering af et indre marked for jernbanegodstransport,
Furthermore, Mr Jarzembowski called for passenger transport to be fully liberalised by 1st January 2008 at the latest.
udvikling af en fælles tilgang til jernbanesikkerhed,
This, he remarked, would encourage a shift from air transport to rail, a more environmentally-friendly form of transport.
supplering af grundprincipperne for interoperabilitet,
Responsibility for this, he said, should lie with the Commission.
oprettelse af det Europæiske Jernbaneagentur og
He, therefore, welcomed the proposed establishment of the European Railway Safety Agency and stressed the importance of its independence.
EU's tiltrædelse af OTIF (den Mellemstatslige Organisation for Internationale Jernbanebefordringer).
On the question of the compatibility of different systems or inter-operability, Sylviane AINARDI (EUL/NGL, F) underlined the need for progress here.
Jernbanegodstransporten har fra 1980 til 2000 tabt markedsandele fra 15 % til 8 %, og det er skuffende, men nu er vi på vej mod et egentligt EU-område for jernbaner.
As to pursuing the next stage of liberalisation, she wanted to see an evaluation of the initial measures before any new initiatives were carried out.
Kundeorienterede private jernbaneselskaber Den tyske CDU'er Georg JARZEMBOWSKI var ordfører for transportudvalgets betænkning om Kommissionens forslag om et indre marked for jernbaner, og under fremlæggelsen af sin betænkning sagde han, at jernbanesektoren skal have nyt liv , og vi skal flytte mere gods fra landevejene til skinnerne.
Turning to the question of the new Agency, Gilles SAVARY (PES, F) was another speaker to recognise that recent developments in transport had led to a huge increase in lorries on Europe's roads while, at the same time, there had been little progress in tackling the problems created by the incompatibility of different national rail systems.
Vi skal have moderne kundeorienterede private jernbaneselskaber i stedet for de nationale monopoler.
He felt vested interests, especially in countries such as France and Germany, had held up progress.
Rack pegede på, at det østrigske jernbaneselskab er det eneste, der har øget sin markedsandel.
As to the technical details, these were the responsibility of experts, not MEPs.
Dårligt serviceniveau Det britiske labourmedlem Brian SIMPSON mindede om det foruroligende fald i markedsandele, og at det er nødvendigt med ændringer nu.
Brian SIMPSON (North West), for the PES, while recognising the complex nature of European rail transport, did however describe the decline in the freight market as "alarming" for the European rail industry.
I mange år har investeringerne og serviceniveauet været for dårligt for de europæiske jernbaner.
So far little progress had been made, with international co-operation suffering and the industry characterised by declining investment.
Miljøvenlige jernbaner!
He too recognised the need to maintain high safety standards and made a plea for involving workers from the sector in any new approach which, to be made to work, required the support of all sides of the industry.
Den finske liberale Samuli POHJAMO understregede, at det er nødvendigt med mere konkurrence , større interoperabilitet samt fælles sikkerhedsregler for jernbanerne.
For the Liberals, Samuli POHJAMO (FIN) welcomed the much needed proposals which he felt would provide an important boost for European co-operation in the rail sector and lead to a better balance in overall transport policy.
Den hollandske GUE'er Erik MEIJER pegede på, at jernbanerne er mere miljøvenlige og beklagede derfor, at alt for meget godt transporteres via landevejene.
Erik MEIJER (NL), for the GUE/NGL group, was another speaker to underline that rail transport was a more environmentally friendly form of transport than travelling by road.
Endvidere kritiserede han den dårlige togforbindelse mellem Bruxelles og Strasbourg.
However, he welcomed the other draft resolutions on safety, interoperability and the creation of a European Railways Safety Agency.
Den franske løsgænger Bruno GOLLNISCH pegede på, at den enorme landevejstrafik medfører, at tusindvis af mennesker dør på vore landeveje , og at der er alt for mange trafikpropper pga. de mange lastbiler.
Bruno GOLLNISCH (IND, F), a non-aligned Member, outlined that rail had proved to be a safer form of transport and that the large number of accidents in France could be explained by lorries travelling through the country.
EP vedtog en betænkning af den belgiske PPE'er Marianne THYSSEN , hvori man - med en række ændringsforslag - godkender Kommissionens forslag om årsregnskaber og konsoliderede regnskaber for visse selskabsformer og forsikringsselskaber.
Parliament has adopted a resolution by Helmut MARKOV (GUE/NGL, D) approving a Commission proposal for a regulation to harmonise social legislation on road transport by 405 votes in favour, 79 against and with 60 abstentions, with a number of amendments.
Ordfører: Nicholas CLEGG (ELDR, UK)

Baggrunden er, at der foregår en illoyal priskonkurrence fra ikke-EU-luftfartsselskabers side, som medfører en konkurrencefordrejning til ugunst for EU's luftfartsselskaber.
There is a call on the Commission, when drafting legislation and devising EU policies, to involve in the process, on a full and regular basis, those who are required to implement these laws and policies.

Afghanistan: Bonn-aftalen skal gennemføres
Changes in the last 60 day Outgoing Members : Incoming Members
Forslag til beslutning
Afghanistan, one year after the Bonn Agreement
Alle talere var enige om, at der er sket betydelige fremskridt i Afghanistan, men der mangler stadig meget før landet kommer til at fungere "normalt" politisk, økonomisk og med hensyn til demokrati og menneskerettigheder.
With regard to aid, the House wants the Commission and the wider donor community to continue to co-operate with the Afghan Government to promote rapid progress in the areas of health and education, to implement assistance in all fields in order to achieve rapidly tangible progress and in order to make sure that assistance does not benefit regional leaders rather than the population in need.
