Bombeangrebene havde klart til formål at forårsage så store civile tab som muligt, at destabilisere det indiske samfund og svække den indiske økonomi.
The House deplores the deliberate targeting of civilians by terrorists and the resulting loss of innocent lives and injuries.
Ofrene for disse terrorbombeangreb omfatter medlemmer af både hindusamfundet og det muslimske samfund, som samarbejdede under redningsarbejdet.
The House, through this resolution, sends its condolences to the relatives of all the victims and expresses its solidarity with the Parliament of India.
Liberia:14 års vold og magtmisbrug!
Joint motion for a resolution on Burma
EP glæder sig derfor over den vidtspændende fredsaftale , som blev undertegnet i Accra den 18. august 2003 i ECOWAS-regi.
MEPs insist that the ruling military State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) relinquish its grip on power and that the results of the last election held be fully respected.
EP mener, at fredsaftalen udgør et banebrydende skridt i retning af at genskabe fred, sikkerhed og stabilitet i Liberia og i hele den vestafrikanske subregion.
Furthermore, Parliament calls on the Council to introduce further tough measures targeted against the SPDC, its members and their interests.
50 mio. euro fra EU På den baggrund er EP forfærdet over de massakrer på hundredvis - muligvis tusinde - af civile, som siges at have fundet sted i Nimba County efter undertegnelsen af fredsaftalen.
MEPs also call on the Council and the Commission to show their readiness, in collaboration with the UN, to help facilitate the National Reconciliation process in Burma.
EP er glad for, at EU har bevilget 50 mio. euro til at fremme den igangværende fredsproces i Liberia og navnlig for at gøre det muligt at videreføre den igangværende fredsbevarende ECOWAS-operation, indtil FN-stabiliseringsstyrken ankommer senest den 1. oktober 2003.

Burma:Løslad Aung San Suu Kyi!
Liberia - welcome for peace accord
EP vedtog en beslutning om Burma, hvori man kræver, Aung San Suu Kyi omgående løslades.
Given the recent peace agreement signed in Accra on 18 August which provides for a transitional government and elections in October 2005, Parliament adopted a joint resolution with 69 votes in favour, 1 against and 1 abstention welcoming this agreement and calls upon all the parties to the agreement to implement it in good faith.
Aung San Suu Kyi og andre medlemmer af den Nationale Demokratiske Liga har været tilbageholdt i 3 måneder.
The House commends Nigeria in particular, for swiftly making available troops to be deployed to protect the civilian population and humanitarian relief.
EP mener, at løsladelsen af samtlige politiske fanger ville være et vigtigt skridt i retning af demokratiets genindførelse i Burma.
However, Parliament is concerned that the Multinational Force currently numbers only 2,127 men with most of them being taking up in Monrovia.
Det regerende militære statsråd har hidtil ikke respekteret udfaldet af det seneste valg i Burma, som blev afholdt i 1990, og EP kræver, at det militære statsråd afgiver magten, og at resultaterne af det sidste valg respekteres fuldt ud.
The House regrets that the Security Council Resolution 1497 provides " exclusive jurisdiction " over persons who commit a crime as part of the Liberia peace keeping mission to the state that sent them.

”Prestiges” forlis:Hvilken lektie kan vi lære?
Preventing further accidents at sea
Ordfører: Dirk STERCKX (ELDR, B)
Dirk STERCKX (ELDR, B)
Skærpelse af sikkerheden til søs efter olietankeren Prestiges forlis
Report on improving safety at sea in response to the Prestige accident
Under EP-debatten om olietankeren "Prestiges" forlis ud for Galiciens kyst i november 2002 var der mange talere, der beklagede, at den - allerede gældende EU-lovgivning - Erika I- og Erika II-pakkerne - ikke er gennemført i praksis i mange af EU-medlemslandene .
The rapporteur Dirk STERCKX (ELDR, B) opened the debate by thanking many colleagues who had provided him with useful information for his report.
En del talere kritiserede også de spanske myndigheder for at have forværret katastrofens omfang, ved at tvinge "Prestige" til søs i mangel af en egnet nødhavn eller tilflugtshavn, ligesom de spanske myndigheder blev kritiseret for at have givet modstridende oplysninger om katastrofen og dens omfang.
For him, today's aim was to learn as much as possible from the Prestige disaster, this would help to develop a system that would ensure safe shipping in European waters for the future.
Endelig var der uenighed om, hvorvidt Europa-Parlamentet skulle nedsætte et midlertidigt undersøgelsesudvalg om "Prestiges" forlis - og konsekvenserne af miljøkatastrofen.
Mr Sterckx argued for the need of better supervision of vessels, in order to determine if they were seaworthy or could cause problems.
Hvad gik galt?
He called on all those concerned to make use of expertise instead of starting the work from scratch.
Sterckx pegede bl.a. på 4 lektier vi kan lære af "Prestiges" forlis:
Finally, Mr Sterckx reminded the House that the captain of the vessel currently under arrest should not be incriminated.
Der var ingen nødhavn, hvor ulykken fandt sted, og det var en fejl at slæbe skibet til havs, hvilket blot forværrede katastrofen.
Referring to the will of some of his colleagues in attempting to set up a temporary committee of inquiry, Mr Sterckx added that he was trying to find a compromise that would be acceptable to the vast majority of the House.
Han håbede på, at Kommissionen ville fremlægge et lovforslag om nødhavne/tilflugtshavne,
Loyola de PALACIO , the Commissioner responsible for Transport and Energy, opened her remarks by setting out the present situation with regard to port safety and sea-vessels.
Gamle skibe skal kontrolleres bedre .
Despite agreeing the Erika I and II packages, maritime disasters had occurred regularly.
En af ballasttankene i "Prestige" var ikke kontrolleret ordentligt.
The Commissioner stressed the importance of introducing an obligation to use double-hull tankers for the transportation of heavy fuels as well as increasing the rate of withdrawal of single-hull tankers.
Dobbeltskrogede skibe er dog ingen mirakelkur, og nogle eksperter mener, at dobbeltskrogede skibe vil få problemer med rust og metaltræthed om 25 år,
Specifically on the Prestige disaster, the Commissioner recalled that most of the beaches had now been cleaned-up, however, she warned that oil was still coming ashore due to the current and strong winds.
Det er nødvendigt med en europæisk kystvagt til at bekæmpe olieforureningsulykker og
The Commissioner underlined that it was not just a problem of providing safe harbours in Europe where necessary.
Det er nødvendigt med et uafhængigt organ til at undersøge miljøforureningsulykker til søs.
The problem, she stated, had started before that as an unsafe vessel had been travelling in bad weather conditions.
I dag er de alt for ofte part i sagen.
Mrs Palacio stated that it was essential for the EU to join the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) as a full member as soon as possible.
Dirk Sterckx fastslog, at søfartens frihed ikke er absolut, og at det er nødvendigt med mere kontrol med skibe under bekvemmelighedsflag, og mere kontrol med besætningerne.
Post-Prestige, the Commission, she said would be coming forward with new proposals on port checking and monitoring, post-accident investigation and minimum rules for flags of convenience.
Gennemfør EU-lovgivningen!
Josu ORTUONDO LARREA (Greens/EFA, E), speaking on behalf of the Industry Committee, expressed his admiration for the volunteers who helped reduce the impact of the Prestige accident.
Den spanske EU-kommissær Loyola DE PALACIO fandt, at det var en fremragende betænkning.
For him, it was just as important to assess the socio-economic impact that the accident had on industries - such as trade and tourism - than to put right the environmental damages.
Hun mindede om Erika I- og Erika II-pakkerne og mente, at hvis de var gennemført i praksis, så var "Prestige"-katastrofen slet ikke forekommet.
He called for funds to be made available to compensate for the oil pollution as well as to provide research on the environmental damage.
Hun oplyste, at Kommissionen kører overtrædelsesprocedurer mod 10 forskellige EU-lande, som ikke har indført EU-lovgivningen i deres nationale lovgivning.
Manuel PÉREZ ÁLVAREZ (EPP-ED, E) stressed on behalf of the Employment Committee the need to ensure safety for workers.
De Palacio mente, at den manglende tilflugtshavn og skibets dårlige stand var 2 væsentlige årsager til ulykken, som hun dog ikke ville betegne som en egentlig katastrofe.
He expressed his gratitude towards the fishermen adding that many people have worked hard to restore the situation.
Der er mange problemer, men et af dem er, at den gældende EU-lovgivning ikke respekteres.
She described four points of particular concern to the Environment Committee.
Dobbeltskrogede skibe er en god ting, men det er ingen universalløsning.
First, it remained a priority to recuperate the 30 000 tonnes of fuel oil from the sunken vessel.
Det britiske labourmedlem Brian SIMPSON mente, at der er tale om en klar og afbalanceret betænkning.
Thirdly, a health study should be made on the population in order to know whether volunteers should continue to collect the fuel.
Den hollandske liberale Herman VERMEER opfordrede Kommissionen til at følge op på de forslag, der fremlægges i Sterckx-betænkningen.
Bernard POIGNANT (PES, F), who spoke for the Fisheries Committee, called for all the remaining oil to be pumped out.
Vermeer lagde stor vægt på, at enkeltskrogede olietankskibe udfases hurtigere end planlagt, og at man vedtager en ophugningsplan, så de ikke ender i u-landene eller i det fjerne Østen.
He also argued that France and Spain would need to look at their responsibilities.
Politisk kamp Den tyske PDS'er Helmuth MARKOV pegede på den politiske kamp, man havde haft i transportudvalget, om man skulle nedsætte et undersøgelsesudvalg.
Adding that Europe supports technical checks at harbours, yet, he stressed the additional need for social checks for the benefit of the sailors and fishermen.
Hans gruppe gik ind for et midlertidigt undersøgelsesudvalg, idet skyldsspørgsmålet ikke var afklaret.
For the EPP-ED group, Konstantinos HATZIDAKIS (GR) stated that this was an extremely complex and multi-faceted issue.
Der har været 6 alvorlige ulykker på 30 år, men Erika-pakkerne er ikke gennemført i praksis i medlemslandene, så det kan ske igen!
As regards the establishment of a temporary committee of inquiry, Mr Hatzidakis was opposed on the grounds that it may be used for political purposes rather than for establishing the facts.
Han kritiserede de spanske myndigheders holdning, og han gik ind for nedsættelsen af et midlertidigt undersøgelsesudvalg i EP om årsagen til ulykken.
He also called for the EU to join the IMO.
Sårbart Portugal Den portugisiske UEN'er José RIBEIRO E CASTRO fastslog, at Portugal er meget sårbart over for miljøkatastrofer til søs, idet mange af sejlruterne ligger lige uden for den portugisiske kyst.
The problem, he said, may lie in the area of non-implementation of existing legislation and he called on all Member States to implement any omissions as soon as possible.
Han understregede derfor, at det nu er på høje tid at gennemføre Erika-pakkerne i praksis i medlemslandene.
Brian SIMPSON (North West), for the PES group, welcomed the position of the rapporteur.
Den hollandske EDD'er Rijk van DAM pegede på, at de spanske myndigheder kunne have begrænset skaderne.
He welcomed, in particular, the ideas for preventing such accidents from occurring again.
Han gik ind for nedsættelsen af et midlertidigt undersøgelsesudvalg, og lagde vægt på nødhavne, dobbeltskrogede olietankskibe og katastrofeplaner.
He stated that in the past the PES, Greens/EFA and GUE/NGL groups had supported the idea of a Committee of Inquiry.
Østersøen: særligt følsomt område Bent Hindrup ANDERSEN fra JuniBevægelsen sagde, at "Prestiges" forlis er skræmmende og derefter brugte han sin taletid på at understrege, at Østersøen er et særligt følsomt område hvad angår risici for eventuelle tankskibes forlis.
Now, he stated, his group could support the proposed Amendment 11 which would establish a Temporary Committee that could continue investigations into the matter.
Hindrup Andersen udtrykte særligt bekymring for de russiske enkelt-skrogede tankskibe, der dagligt passerer Østersøen.
His group, he stated, could not and would not alter its position on the amendment.
Han fremhævede, at EU bør arbejde for tre ting :
For the Liberals, Herman VERMEER (NL) warned of the dangers of exporting the problem of poorly conditioned vessels outside the EU.
at Østersøen klassificeres som særligt følsomt område , og at der i forbindelse hermed iværksættes præventive foranstaltninger, der skal forhindre forlis,
The danger, he said, of using single-hull tankers outside the EU still remained, and only by the EU taking its position up in the IMO could this matter be properly addressed.
at man påbegynder udfasninger af enkelt-skrogede tankskibe og
Helmuth MARKOV (D) on behalf of the EUL/NGL stated that this report was an excellent basis for analysing the causes of the Prestige disaster.
at EU's tildeling af miljøudviklingsstøtte bør være proportionalt med landenes sikring af deres tankskibe.
However, a temporary committee must also be set up in order to shed further light on the incident.
En velkendt skikkelse Cox fremhævede, at Anna Lindh var en velkendt skikkelse i Europa-Parlamentet både i kraft af hendes rolle som rådsformand under det svenske EU-formandsskab samt i kraft af, at mange medlemmer af EP var personlige venner med hende.
He called for a temporary committee of inquiry to be set up and stated that long-term consequences had not yet been properly assessed.
Frihed og demokrati Cox understregede, at Anna Lindh var selve indbegrebet af frihed og demokrati , og at hendes død er et stort tab for både Sverige og Europa.
José RIBEIRO E CASTRO (UEN, P) called for the use of active policies so that strong words " would not simply sink ".
Han roste Anna Lindh for hendes direkte og uprætentiøse stil og sagde, at Anna Lindh var et eksemplarisk politisk forbillede .
He highlighted the importance of analysing the social, economic and ecological consequences of the disaster.
Cox afsluttede sin tale med at bede medlemmerne af EP om at holde et minuts stilhed til minde om Anna Lindh.
Rijk van DAM (NL), on behalf of the EDD stressed the need to continue the investigation, as there were still unanswered questions.
Cox har såvel på EP's som på egne vegne sendt den dybeste medfølelse til Anna Linds familie, venner, kolleger og til hele det svenske folk.
Dominique SOUCHET (F), speaking on behalf of the Independent Members, stated that a temporary committee would be useful to investigate the Erika and Prestige incidents.
Et stort savn Efter Cox talte den svenske socialdemokrat Jan ANDERSSON .
According to him, the Parliament must identify the initiatives that have worked up until now and work out what could be further developed.
Andersson takkede Cox for de varme ord og fremhævede, at alle føler et stort savn efter drabet på Anna Lindh .
He believed that the report was a " step in the right direction, but not enough ".
Ligeledes udtrykte Andersson den dybeste medfølelse med Anna Lindhs efterladte og sagde, at Anna Lindh netop evnede den svære kunst at kombinere familieliv med en politisk karriere .
John CUSHNAHAN (EPP-ED, Munster) was another speaker to underline the fact the Member States had not learned the lessons of previous maritime disasters.
Anna Lindh og EU Andersson fremhævede Anna Lindh's europæiske engagement , herunder at hun kæmpede for at forankre EU-spørgsmålet i Sverige, og at udvidelsen lå hende meget på sinde.
Had the Erika packages been properly implemented, he said, then single-hull tankers would have been outlawed.
Han sagde, at den bedste måde at mindes Anna Lindh på er at fortsætte i hendes ånd ved at kæmpe for menneskerettigheder, demokrati og et udvidet EU.
He also remarked that the Spanish government had been criticised for not offering a safe haven for the Prestige.
Cox hilste det positive resultat af folkeafstemningen i Letland om EU-medlemskab, der fandt sted i sidste weekend, velkomment.
In her response to the debate, Commissioner de Palacio listed all the previous maritime disasters and commented that little or nothing had been learned from them.
EU-Kommissionen har netop afvist at give fortsat økonomisk støtte til Alstom, der står over for at måtte lukke.
The Commissioner ended by paying tribute to the fishermen of Galicia for battling so well with the disaster.
EP vedtog med 114 stemmer for og 109 imod, at Kommissionen kommer med en udtalelse tirsdag .
She called on the EU institutions to demonstrate similar determination to prevent such terrible accidents from re-occurring.

”Prestiges” forlis:Hvilken lektie kan vi lære?
Changes in the last 60 days Incoming Members:
Ordfører: Dirk STERCKX (ELDR, B)
Giorgio CALO , (ELDR, I) as at 03.09.2003 Internal Market
EP vedtog en betænkning af den belgiske liberale Dirk STERCKX om olietankeren "Prestiges" forlis ud for Galiciens kyst i november 2002, og om hvilken lektie vi kan lære af denne miljøkatastrofe .
Commissioner Frits BOLKESTEIN opened the debate by reminding the House that computers have become evermore ubiquitous in our everyday lives.
I Sterckx-betænkningen lægger EP op til en skærpelse af sikkerheden til søs.
He added that microchips are essential to every day gadgets, such as mobile phones and microwaves.
Kompliceret afstemning!
"But it is to firstly clarify the scope of patentability of software.
Sterckx-betænkningen blev vedtaget med 336 stemmer mod 171 - medens 14 MEP'er undlod at stemme.
Secondly, the aim was to harmonise on the base of existing practises, he added.
Der var tale om en temmelig kompliceret afstemning, hvor en del punkter i den oprindelige betænkning blev forkastet.
Commissioner Bolkestein also noted that opponents of the directive had mounted a vocal - and sometimes personal - campaign based on half-truths and misconceptions, raising delicate issues such as the competitiveness for smaller firms.
Midlertidigt undersøgelsesudvalg!
He clarified that the legislation aimed to tighten up already existing rules.
Årsagerne til "Prestige"-ulykken EP mener, at denne parlamentariske betænkning - Sterckx-betænkningen - udgør et vigtigt skridt hen imod en klarlæggelse af årsagerne til "Prestige"-katastrofen .
Either we use the community method or we take a back seat and watch Member States go through the negotiation of an Intergovernmental Treaty ", he concluded.
Man mener imidlertid, at det parlamentariske arbejde på baggrund af den omfattende udvikling, som for nylig er sket, de nye skøn over mængden af olieudslippet fra vraget og behovet for at fastslå ethvert ansvar, bør ajourføres og fortsættes, således at man kan få et fuldstændigt billede af årsagerne til og følgerne af ulykken.
Arlene McCARTHY (PES, North West), the rapporteur, began her remarks by making it clear that her report was not about introducing a new patent law, not about patenting software and not about extending the scope of patents.
Klare kommandoveje!
This despite much lobbying to the contrary.
en protokol om fælles indsats,
A company from the South West of England, specialising in voice recognition technology, had written to her welcoming her report.
klare kommandoveje,
This would ensure interoperability, and she underlined that this was not just about big business.
udveksling af "bedste praksis",
What is at stake is tens of billions of euros ", he reminded the House.
fremme af samarbejdet mellem medlemslandene og
He explained that copyright rules try to protect the inventors, whereas software is built on the creation and human knowledge of the past.
indførelse af EU-retningslinier eller mindstekrav på dette område.
He believes that the multiplications of patents were highly dangerous for SMEs and individual inventors. "
EP opfordrer også EU-Kommissionen til at fremskynde etableringen af en flåde af forureningsbekæmpelsesskibe.
His groups' aim was to ensure all business, including SMEs, could benefit from the legislation.
Ordfører: Arlene McCARTHY (PSE, UK)
For the PES group, Manuel MEDINA ORTEGA (PES, E) also underlined that the proposed legislation was not about patenting software, a common misconception of some in the IT industry.
Forslag til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv om computer-implementerede opfindelsers patenterbarhed
It was clear that the EU needed a directive as there was now a trend towards too many patents and too much protection which had had damaging consequences on research and development.
Juridisk og teknisk kompliceret område Bolkestein understregede, at emnet er særdeles kompliceret såvel juridisk som teknisk.
It leaves some doubts, as our intention is to create more development for SME's in this area ", she added.
Han fremhævede, at formålet med Kommissionens direktivforslag er at sikre, at rene edb-programmer (software) ikke kan patenteres.
Arguing that this incentive could involve too many costs for the SME sector, she called on Members to listen more to what SME's were saying.
Direktivforslagets sigte er, at klargøre og harmonisere reglerne for patenterbarheden af computeropfindelser, hvori der indgår software, men at forhindre at software som sådan kan patenteres.
Raina Mercedes ECHERER (A), who spoke on behalf of the Greens/EFA group, stated that " in the market, if someone wants to use a patent to abuse a dominant position, they can do that ".
Endelig understregede han, at Kommissionen er imod de ændringsforslag , der er blevet fremsat til betænkningen, idet de ændrer principperne for hele direktivforslaget.
Bent ANDERSEN (DK), for the EDD group, stated that he had worked as an architect for most of his life and he could see many comparisons between the IT and architectural industry.
Bolkestein hævdede, at vedtagelse af ændringsforslagene i værste fald kan medføre to ting :
Marco CAPPATO (I), a non-attached Member, stated that he was broadly in favour of the rapporteur's position.
at patentbureauer frit kan give patenter, også på software, hvilket vil medføre at grænsen mellem patenterbare opfindelser og software udviskes, hvilket vil være i strid med den Europæiske Patentkonvention og
The small dividing line between patenting computer software and patenting computer implemented inventions could lead, he warned, to much confusion.
Sikre små og mellemstore virksomheder Ordføreren Arlene McCARTHY (PSE, UK) sagde, at formålet med betænkningen om Kommissionens direktivforslag er, at støtte små og mellemstore virksomheder i EU og at sikre deres konkurrenceevne på verdensplan.
Neil MacCORMICK (Greens/EFA, Scotland) warned against possible " leakage " from genuine protection of computer implemented inventions to companies being able to patent computer software.
Hun redegjorde for, at de ændringsforslag, der er fremsat i betænkningen, har til formål at sikre at ren software ikke kan patenteres .
He stated that the present system, where genuine inventions are patentable and software is protected by copyright worked well.
Endvidere er formålet at forhindre monopoldannelser.
The responsibility, he underlined, lay with the Commission to find a balance between over and under protection for inventions.
Anmodninger til Kommissionen McCarthy anmodede ligeledes Kommissionen om at arbejde målrettet med at skabe en klar europæisk patentlovgivning , og at vurdere ændringsforslagene endnu engang.
Malcolm HARBOUR (EPP-ED, West Midlands) stated that patents played an indispensable role in making the EU the most dynamic knowledge based economy in the world.
