Ordfører: Antonio DI PIETRO (ALDE/ADLE, IT)
Rapporteur Antonio DI PIETRO (ALDE, IT) agrees with this but would like to speed up the process of exchanging information.
Forslag til Rådets afgørelse om udveksling af oplysninger fra strafferegistre
This EU decision, which the report says should come into force within six months of its publication, focuses essentially on better coordination of resources to speed up the information exchange process.
I henhold til Europarådets konvention fra 1959 skal medlemslandene kun videregive sådanne oplysninger en gang om året.
For this purpose, the report suggests " a Quality Charter for Criminal Justice in Europ e" to serve as a reference framework for all EU countries.
I Kommissionens forslag fastsættes der en tidsfrist på 5 dage til modtagelse af et svar fra den anmodede medlemsstat.
Imagine the following scenario: an EU citizen is accused of a criminal offence while on holiday in a Member State other than his or her own.
I en betænkning af den italienske liberale Antonio DI PIETRO støtter EP's udvalg om borgernes frihedsrettigheder Kommissionens forslag.
Shouldn't this person have the right to immediate access to a lawyer, a fair judicial procedure or even a translator so that they enjoy the same standard of legal treatment as they would at home?
Ordføreren er i det store og hele enig med Kommissionen, og der er derfor kun fremlagt få ændringsforslag.
The Civil Liberties Committee would like to see an " essential minimum degree of harmonisation " in areas of national legislation such as the minimum rights of prisoners, the possibility for them to serve their sentence in their Member State of residence and the gathering and assessment of evidence.
Hvidbog Kommissionen har allerede meddelt, at der vil blive taget mere komplekse initiativer i løbet af de kommende måneder.
And rules on the right to a fair trial, the right to access to legal aid and the right to be tried within a reasonable time should also be harmonised.
Hvidbogen om udveksling af oplysninger om domme , forbudstiltag og den gensidige anerkendelse heraf i EU blev offentliggjort i slutningen af januar 2005.
Lastly MEPs say the Quality Charter should be based on the establishment of " a mechanism for ongoing mutual evaluation of the quality of justice " in the different EU countries, based on measures such as a comparative statistical database, benchmarking exercises and sharing of best practice.
Der er imidlertid stadig tekniske og juridiske problemer, der skal afklares, før et operativt EDB-baseret system til udveksling af oplysninger om straffedomme mellem medlemslandene kan etableres.
European Parliament and of the Council concerning unfair business-to-consumer
Kvalitet i strafferetsplejen: EU-charter som referenceramme?
and 2002/65/EC and European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No
Ordfører: António COSTA (PSE, PT)
/2004 ("Unfair Commercial Practices Directive")
Udvalget om borgernes frihedsrettigheder lægger op til, at EU og medlemslandene sammen udarbejder et "charter for kvalitet i strafferetsplejen i Europa".
With a view to combating such practices more effectively, the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection is proposing a report by Mercedes BRESSO (PES, IT).
Charteret skal fungere som en fælles referenceramme for samtlige medlemsstater , og det skal styrke den gensidige tillid mellem de nationale retssystemer.
Its objectives are: to outlaw such practices, as set out in the directive; to create common rules at EU level which would replace the existing diversity of national laws; and to improve the protection of consumers considered to be ' vulnerable '.
Charteret bør udarbejdes under hensyntagen til de erfaringer og det arbejde, der allerede er gjort på nationalt plan og på internationalt plan af Europarådet og FN.
The ' blacklist ' attached to the directive is proposed to be substantially amended.
Minimumsharmonisering Ifølge udvalget skal charteret være baseret på "indførelse af en permanent evalueringsmekanisme vedrørende kvalitet i strafferetsplejen".
No Member State would be able to introduce further alterations other than by revising the directive according to the rules laid down in the Treaty.
Derudover skal charteret bygge på en nødvendig minimumsharmonisering på følgende områder:
Under the proposed amended text, it would be unambiguously forbidden to use advertising as a direct means of inciting children to buy a product or persuade their parents that it has to be bought.
indsamling og vurdering af beviser,
MEPs in the committee are insisting on improving the definition and protection of vulnerable consumers.
overførsel af fanger til afsoning af straffe i bopælsmedlemsstaten,
The point of reference remains the ' average ' consumer, in line with the Commission's position, but the definition and the reference to Court of Justice case-law have been made more specific.
fuldbyrdelse af ikke-frihedsberøvende straffe i bopælsmedlemsstaten,
Member States will have 24 months from the entry into force of the directive to adopt and publish the necessary national rules.
udførelse af tvangsforanstaltninger i bopælsmedlemsstaten,
In order to avoid going to conciliation, MEPs are proposing compromises on some of their initial proposals and are withdrawing others.
minimumsrettigheder for indsatte i enhver medlemsstat m.m.
The Council, which had already agreed to a majority of Parliament's 58 first reading amendments, made it clear that it would not accept some of the MEPs' resubmitted proposals.
"Haag-programmet" I Costa-betænkningen opfordrer man EU-Kommissionen til allerede nu at indarbejde "chartret om kvalitet i retsplejen i Europa".
In particular, with regard to the ' common market ' clause, the Council refused to reintroduce (as in the Commission's initial proposal and as favoured by certain MEPs) the ' country of origin ' principle (under which the law of the Member State where the trader is established is applicable).
I 2005 skal EU-Kommissionen fremlægge en handlingsplan til gennemførelse af "Haag-programmet" om frihed, sikkerhed og retfærdighed, som EU vedtog i november 2004.
This point serves to link this directive on unfair commercial practices to the services directive (now being debated by Parliament) and the text regulating sales promotions (currently blocked in Council over the issue of the ' country of origin ' principle).
EU's konkurrencepolitik: Kommissionens beretning for 2003
Strong backing for EU competition policy
Ordfører: Jonathan EVANS (PPE/DE, UK)
Jonathan EVANS (EPP-ED, UK)
Kommissionens årlige beretning om konkurrencepolitikken (2003)
Report on the Commission's XXXIIIrd Report on Competition Policy - 2003
Udvalget roser Monti for at have opretholdt en konstant og betydelig kontrol med konkurrenceforvridninger , samtidig med at der blev gennemført en omfattende omorganisering og fornyelse af bestemmelserne om antitrust, fusionskontrol og statsstøtte.
Monetary Affairs Committee, which forms Parliament's response to the
Man mener, at Europa-Parlamentet bør tildeles en mere proaktiv rolle i udformningen af konkurrencepolitikken - ved at give EP flere beføjelser inden for konkurrencepolitikken.
The committee urges that the limited number of cases in which the Commission's decisions have been set aside by the Court of Justice should not be seen as undermining confidence in the overall system of analysis and enforcement.
Økonomi- og valutaudvalget glæder sig over Kommissionens nye regler for distribution af motorkøretøjer, og man ønsker større fremskridt med hensyn til udligning af de store forskelle i bilpriserne i de forskellige medlemslande, og man beklager, at disse skævheder stadig er betydelige.
MEPs in the committee set out their belief that the effective application of competition policy is an essential tool to achieve and efficient market structure which operates in the interests of consumers and has a positive and significant impact upon their daily lives.
Bedre muligheder for statsstøtte til danske færger
Exemption of small scale public services from state aid rules
Ordfører: Sophia Helena IN'T VELD (ALDE/ADLE, NL)
Sophia Helena IN'T VELD (ALDE, NL)
Derfor er der principielt heller ikke behov for Kommissionens godkendelse i henhold til konkurrencelovgivningen.
The judgement left some legal uncertainty as to exactly which cases would meet the criteria.
Der er dog stadig behov for at fastlægge nøjagtigt, hvilken type tjenesteydelser, der er omfattet af afgørelsen.
The Commission has put forward proposals on how it intends to interpret the ruling, and on a clearer framework for its future approach to the whole area of compensation for public services.
Fritagelse for mindre virksomheder Kommissionen foreslår derfor at fritage mindre virksomheder for anmeldelsespligten.
The Commission proposes to exclude small scale public service compensation altogether from the notification requirements, but has not precisely defined ' small .'
I den forbindelse ønsker udvalget, at fritagelsen skal gælde specifikt for virksomheder med en årlig omsætning på under 50 mio. euro, og som modtager mindre end 15 mio. euro i årlig statsstøtte.
MEPs in the committee say that the exclusion should apply to undertakings with turnover under €50 million receiving annual compensation of under €15 million.
Kommissionen foreslår også at fritage søtransport til øer, når den årlige trafik ikke overstiger 100.000 passagerer.
The Commission also planned to exclude sea transport to islands carrying fewer than 100,000 passengers per year.
Her ønsker udvalget at skærpe og udvide forslaget, idet det går ind for at lade fritagelsen gælde for sø- og flytransport til øer og fjerntliggende områder med op til 300.000 passagerer årligt.
The Economics Committee says services to remote communities whether by sea or air should be excluded, providing there are fewer than 300,000 passengers per year.
Veldrevet gennemsnitsvirksomhed Udvalget understreger, at hvis der kan ydes statsstøtte til tjenesteydelser af almindelig økonomisk interesse, bør det ske på baggrund af en fair og gennemsigtig udbudsprocedure, hvor statsstøttens omfang fastsættes objektivt.
The committee also stresses that where state aid for services of general interest is permissible, they should still be put out to a transparent tendering process so the amount of state aid is objectively established.
Såfremt der ikke anvendes en åben udbudsprocedure, skal kompensationen (i modsætning til 'statsstøtte') i henhold til Altmark-dommen fastsættes til det niveau, som en veldrevet gennemsnitsvirksomhed behøver for at kunne levere tjenesteydelsen med en rimelig fortjeneste.
The Altmark ruling said that where open tendering was not used, 'compensation' (as opposed to 'state aid') was limited to that needed for a typical well run undertaking to provide the service and make a reasonable profit.
I den forbindelse anmodes Kommissionen om nærmere at definere og præcisere begrebet 'veldrevet gennemsnitsvirksomhed'.
The report asks the Commission to use a benchmarking exercise to clarify what this would mean in practice.
Konsekvensanalyse Kommissionen foreslår at lade rammebestemmelserne gælde indtil udgangen af 2007.
While the Commission proposed that its new arrangements should run until the end of 2007, the report says they should be valid for four years.
Endelig foreslår udvalget at gennemføre en omfattende konsekvensanalayse med henblik på forlængelse af rammebestemmelserne.
It also asks the Commission to clarify the legal status of its planned framework.

"Lissabon-strategien" Økonomi- og valutaudvalget beklager forsinkelsen i gennemførelsen af "Lissabon-strategien" , som inden udgangen af 2010 tilstræber at gøre EU til den mest konkurrencedygtige videnbaserede økonomi i verden.
MEPs in the committee call for the Commission to work to complete the internal market and ensure fair competition in all sectors.
Man understreger, at de overordnede økonomiske retningslinjer for 2006-2009 bør tage hensyn til midtvejsrevisionen af "Lissabon-strategien".
They support the independence of the European Central Bank and the harmonisation of both the economic hypotheses and the timetables for setting national budgets for eurozone members.
Man bør således mindske den voksende kløft mellem målene i de overordnede retningslinjer for den økonomiske politik og "Lissabon-målene".
The report says a general increase in working time will be unavoidable to cope with demographic change and cover all economic and social needs.
I Goebbels-betænkningen anbefaler man en forenkling og bedre koordinering af de instrumenter, EU har til rådighed.
Alarmed at continuing high unemployment, the committee stresses the need to create an environment which promotes the spirit of enterprise and a risk-taking culture, by simplifying the regulatory environment, reducing the administrative burden on small businesses and by reducing the general level of taxation.
Og man anbefaler en reduktion af antallet af rapporter og programmer såvel på EU-plan som på nationalt plan for at få en bedre koordineret strategi, som vil gøre det muligt for medlemslandene at "engagere sig mere entydigt" .
MEPs in the committee also consider that the growth of free international trade, founded on equal opportunities, will both contribute to the development of poor countries and crate new markets for developed countries.
Offentlige finanser i ØMU'en: For store offentlige underskud!
Defending the Stability Pact
Ordfører: Othmar KARAS (PPE/DE, AT)
Othmar KARAS (EPP-ED, AT)
Medlemslandene bør endvidere give mulighed for opbygning af tilstrækkelige reserver i opgangstider , således at der kan træffes økonomiske tiltag i nedgangstider uden at risikere at overtræde bestemmelserne i stabilitets- og vækstpagten.
Noting that some governments have not taken sufficient measures to combat their deficits, the committee says there are "grounds for concern regarding their prospects from bringing their deficits below 3% of GDP in the immediate future."
Lempelser i budgetpolitikken I Karas-betænkningen peger man på, at EU-Kommissionen mener, at konjunkturudsving kun delvist har skylden for de store offentlige underskud, som primært skyldes nogle medlemslandes lempelse af deres budgetpolitik .
They also recommend a greater emphasis in the Pact on economic developments and an increased focus on safeguarding the sustainability of public finances.
Udvalget minder om, at nogle medlemslande ikke har reageret på, at der er lanceret procedurer i forbindelse med "uforholdsmæssigt store underskud" mod dem, ved at træffe de nødvendige foranstaltninger for at afhjælpe deres underskud.
Excessive deficits, they say, put price stability, low interest rates and government investment plans at risk.
Økonomi- og valutaudvalget peger på, at antallet af medlemslande i euro-området med et offentligt budgetunderskud på mere end 3 % er steget fra 3 til 4 lande, og at 12 medlemslande siden indførelsen af stabilitets- og vækstpagten har overtrådt deres egne eller traktatens bestemmelser , herunder 5 lande i euro-området - nemlig Portugal, Tyskland, Frankrig, Holland og Grækenland.
The committee also highlights the need to improve budgetary statistics with more accurate and standardised definitions, and greater powers for Eurostat to coordinate, monitor and carry out on-the-spot controls on the figure provided by Member States.
Kørekort i EU: Plastikkreditkort og mikrochips
Paper driving licences heading for the bin
Ordfører: Mathieu GROSCH (PPE/DE, BE)
Mathieu GROSCH (EPP-ED, BE)
For et par år siden fremlagde EU-Kommissionen et direktivforslag om kørekort , som havde 3 hovedformål:
The Transport Committee wants to bid farewell to the paper driving licence
at mindske mulighederne for forfalskning ,

licence tourism ".
Og for at forbedre færdselssikkerheden foreslår Kommissionen håndhævelse af køreforbud i hele EU og trinvis erhvervelse af kørekort på grundlag af alder og erfaring .
The highly sensitive issue of driving licences in the EU will be debated by the plenary, based on a report from the Transport Committee, drafted by Mathieu GROSCH (EPP-ED, BE), on a European Commission proposal to replace the existing 110 models of driving licence in the 25 Member States by a single EU format.
Det er anden gang direktivforslaget forelægges for Europa-Parlamentet.
The main benefits would be less fraud, easier movement for drivers and greater safety on the roads.
Under sidste valgperiode - 1999-2004 - stillede MEP'erne 118 ændringsforslag til direktivforslaget, og mange mente, at det var uhensigtsmæssigt at haste en så ømtålelig sag igennem i slutningen af valgperioden.
In their amendments to the Commission text, the committee sought to strike a balance between bringing in the new licence quickly, and indeed improving it, and taking account of the different national traditions on issuing driving licences, such as age restrictions.
Den belgiske PPE'er Mathieu GROSCH har udarbejdet en betænkning på vegne af EP's transportudvalg.
The Commission was proposing no deadlines for the introduction of the licence.
Grosch fastslår, at "man kan med al rimelighed stille det spørgsmål, hvorfor Europa er gået hurtigt ind i det 21. århundrede med hensyn til identitetskort, men er blevet stående på middelalderniveau med hensyn til kørekort ".
But MEPs in the committee want Member States to have 10 years from the date on which the directive takes effect to replace all paper licences by plastic card licences.
Transportudvalget støtter Kommissionens forslag som et skridt hen imod en mere enkel, logisk og moderne ordning , selv om man fremlægger en lang række ændringsforslag.
And they say that a standard EU model of licence should be compulsory within a further 10 years.
Mikrochip I sine nyskabende forslag om, at kørekort forsynes med en mikrochip , begrænser Kommissionen sig til at give medlemslandene tilladelse til at indføre en sådan mikrochip, og Grosch har forståelse for, at det er politisk umuligt at nå videre på nuværende tidspunkt.
In addition, they say that Member States should be allowed to introduce a microchip if they wish, as a further anti-fraud measure.
Men der er stillet ændringsforslag med henblik på at gøre reglerne mere fleksible ved at give medlemslandene mulighed for at lagre yderligere oplysninger på mikrochippen.
However, the Transport Committee stresses that this replacement of old driving licences must not result in the loss or restriction of an individual's existing right to drive.
Obligatorisk ombytning?
A Europe-wide network of licence data
Efter udvidelsen med de 10 nye medlemslande den 1. maj 2004 er der 110 kørekort-modeller i omløb i medlemslandene.
The mechanics for issuing driving licences differ in the Member States, being handled centrally in some and regionally in others.
Ordføreren fastslår, at det er utroligt, at Kommissionen ikke foreslår obligatorisk ombytning af de ældre kørekort , der er i omløb.
To combat fraud, the committee wants there to be a single focal point for access to driving licence information in each state - in effect a "driving licence network".
Det umiddelbare nettoresultat af direktivet vil således være 111 forskellige kørekort-modeller - og en overgangsperiode på over 50 år.
EU states could then refuse to issue a licence to an applicant who has had his licence restricted, suspended or withdrawn in another EU country.
Det er klart uacceptabelt.
No blanket medical checks for over-65s
Fordelene ved en enkelt EU-model er indlysende, understreger Mathieu Grosch.
But the report argues that a blanket restriction for the over-65s was not justified.
Inddragelse af gamle kørekort-modeller er et særdeles ømtåleligt spørgsmål i flere medlemslande.
On the sensitive issue of medical checks, the committee decided simply that Member States should have the option of limiting the period of validity of driving licences in individual cases, such as certain diseases.
Mathieu Grosch mener derfor ikke, at et ændringsforslag om hurtig udskiftning af alle eksisterende modeller er politisk gennemførligt på nuværende tidspunkt - uanset hvor ønskeligt det måtte være af praktiske grunde.
And insulin-dependent drivers, for example, should have medical authorisation.
Skibes forsætlige olieudtømning: Uenighed om strafferetlige sanktioner!

Droppet strafferetlige sanktioner Den 7. oktober 2004 vedtog EU's transportministre deres fælles holdning , hvori de har droppet de detaljerede bestemmelser om strafferetlige sanktioner fra Kommissionens og EP's forslag.
Arguing that a European coastguard service could play a crucial role in combatting ship-source pollution, MEPs in the committee are asking the Commission to compile a feasibility study on setting up such a service.
Hermed afviger teksten betydeligt fra det oprindelige mål med direktivet, nemlig indførelse på EU-niveau af et obligatorisk system af strafferetlige sanktioner.
And to ensure that discharges of polluting substances are detected in time, MEPs would like the role of the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) to be strengthened.
