natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
400.000 ha. er ødelagt i Portugal, hvor 5 % af landet og 11 % af skovene er brændt.
The fires, he stressed, had destroyed 5% of Portugal's territory and over 11% of its territory covered by forest.
Vejtransport og drivhusgasser Den tyske socialdemokrat Dagmar ROTH-BEHRENDT pegede på, at vi blot reparerer uanset om vi giver 31, 90, 100 eller 120 mio. euro fra Solidaritetsfonden til Portugal.
He stated that aid was needed quickly and that Portugal qualified for more than €90m of support from the European Solidarity Fund, three times more than had been offered so far.
Vi må i stedet overveje årsagerne, og her er vejtransporten årsag til 20 % af drivhusgasserne, og dette tal vil stige til 28 % i 2010.
Dagmar ROTH-BEHRENDT (D), for the PES group, called for colleagues to show solidarity with France and Portugal.
Vi må derfor flytte transporten fra landevejene til jernbanerne.
For her, it was not a question of figures or how much aid, but rather tackling the causes of natural disasters such as climate change.
20.000 døde Den belgiske liberale Frederique RIES pegede på, at 20.000 mennesker har mistet livet under sommerens hedebølge .
She was also concerned about the well being of the elderly who had suffered particularly from the heat wave.
Hun beklagede, at EU-landene ikke har nok fly til at slukke skovbrandene, og at USA, Canada og Rusland er bedre rustet her.
Frédérique RIES (B), for the ELDR, expressed her Group's condolences to the victims of this summer's heat wave.
Hun mente, at mennesker selv er ansvarlige for 95 % af skovbrande.
She stated that over 400 000 hectares had been destroyed in Portugal.
En cigaret ud af bilvinduet kan således medføre, at en hel skov forsvinder!
Measures within the Kyoto protocol, she stated, would help to prevent such disasters in the future.
Den portugisiske GUE'er Ilda FIGUEIREDO henviste til, at 40.00 mennesker står uden indkomst i Portugal, hvor der er behov for store støttebeløb fra EU.
Ilda FIGUEIREDO (P), for the GUE/NGL group, underlined that over 45 000 people in Portugal had lost their entire livelihoods.
Fejlslagen transportpolitik!
She called on the Commission to go beyond declarations of support and offer substantially higher levels of financial support.
Den luxembourgske grønne Claude TURMES mente, at denne sommer er den allersidste advarsel til os politikere.
Claude TURMES (L), for the Greens/EFA, group stated that this summer's events should be a last warning of the negative effects of climate change.
I Kina er 4 millioner mennesker blevet hjemløse på grund af oversvømmelser - derfor må vi skifte gear nu.
He also stated that in China, over 4 million people had lost their homes due to flooding and, in comparison, the EU had been hit less badly.
Turmes understregede, at det er nødvendigt med en stabilitetspagt om klimaændringer.
Moreover, Mr Turmes strongly disagreed with the transport initiatives of the Italian Presidency, which he said amounted to " motorways, motorways and more motorways. "
Han tog afstand fra det italienske EU-formandskabs planer om flere motorveje og regionale lufthavne, idet dette er udtryk for en fuldstændig fejlslagen transportpolitik.
He said his group was strongly in favour much larger investment in the European rail network.
Afmagt Den portugisiske UEN'er Jose RIBEIRO E CASTRO pegede på, at krisen og dramaet i Portugal havde ført til en følelse af afmagt over for klimaforandringer.
José RIBEIRO E CASTRO (P), for the UEN group, thanked President Cox for arranging today's debate.
Den danske konservative Christian ROVSING talte om, hvordan vedvarende energikilder skal udbygges , således at det bliver muligt at udnytte f.eks. solenergi mere effektivt.
He gave an overview of the disaster and called on the responsible authorities to look beyond the mere statistics as whole communities in some areas had been destroyed.
De problemer der har været med Europas kraftværker i løbet af sommeren, er opstået som følge af den kraftige varme, hvilket Rovsing mente, at man kunne kompensere for ved hjælp af et stærkt fælles højspændingsnet i Europa.
He also called for greater EU support and a transfer of funding with the Cohesion and Structural Funds.
Med hensyn til sommerens skovbrande i Europa mente Rovsing ikke, at disse vil medføre langsigtede miljøpåvirkninger.
Georges BERTHU (F), a non aligned Member, stated that the 35 hour week in France had not assisted the French authorities to deal with the consequences of the heat wave.
Han fremhævede dog omfanget af ulykkerne og understregede at det er nødvendigt at opføre såkaldte brandbælter , for i fremtiden at kunne forhindre, at skovbrande breder sig i det omfang, der har været tale om i år.
He also called for a reduction of the number of cross-border workers as he said this " negatively affected the family unit."
En voldelig sommer Formanden for Europa-Parlamentet Pat COX åbnede EP's samling med at beklage, at sommeren 2003 har været særdeles voldelig .
However, Mr Berthu called on the EU to take measures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and to promote renewable as well as nuclear energy.
Der har været gentagne angreb på militært personale i Irak samt angreb på civile i Mumbai, Jerusalem og senest i weekenden i Najaf.
He also called for the pricing of road-tolls to take into account the cost of environmental damage from the use of the road network.
Bombningen af FN's hovedkvarter i Bagdad Cox sagde, at det var hans kedelige pligt at skulle informere om bombningen af FN's hovedkvarter i Bagdad den 19. august, hvor 23 mennesker blev dræbt, herunder FN's særlige repræsentant i Irak, brasilianeren Sergio Vieira de MELLO .
Responding to the debate, Commissioner Barnier stated that he could understand those Members of Parliament who felt that the money available from the Commission was insufficient.
Cox understregede, at den bedste måde at ære de Mello på vil være, at FN så hurtigt som muligt når sit mål om at genskabe respekten for folkeretten, lov og orden samt sikrer den irakiske befolkning ordentlige levevilkår.
He made it clear that it would be possible for Member State governments to re-deploy money within the existing Structural Funds.
Han betegnede bombningen som et hårdt slag for FN , ikke mindst for Kofi ANNAN , der udover at have mistet en betroet rådgiver også har mistet en nær ven.
He also said that money was available from the CAP under the rural development budget.
Cox fremhævede, at tragedien i Bagdad har berørt Europa-Parlamentet direkte , da der blandt ofrene var en tidligere parlamentarisk assistent samt en bror til en ansat.
Furthermore, through the so called Forest Focus Regulation, the Commission could take measures to help reforestation over the long-term.
Ændring af dagsordenen Der blev vedtaget en ændring af dagsordenen for torsdag, idet debatten om menneskerettigheder i Turkmenistan vil blive udskiftet med en debat om Burma , hvor militærregimet fortsat nægter at indlede en dialog med lederen af den Nationale Liga for Demokrati Aung San Suu Kyi.
Finally, Commissioner Barnier recognised the link between an increasing occurrence rate of natural disasters and climate change, and stated that there was a clear need to increase research funding in this area.

Koordinering af de sociale sikringsordninger:Kun 2 % af arbejdstagerne arbejder i andet EU-land!
Co-ordination of social security systems
Ordfører: Jean LAMBERT (Verts/ALE, UK)
Jean LAMBERT (Greens/EFA, London)
Forslag til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning om koordineringen af de sociale sikringsordninger
Report on the proposal for a European Parliament and Council regulation on co-ordination of social security systems
Denne frihed vil kun have nogen værdi, hvis det sikres, at personer, der bevæger sig inden for EU, ikke stilles ufordelagtigt med hensyn til social sikring.
The regulation, the Commissioner underlined, was necessary to encourage the free movement of workers across the Union.
I 1971 vedtog EF/EU en forordning - nr. 1408/71 - som havde til formål at koordinere medlemslandenes lovgivning for social sikring.
The regulation helps in the creation of jobs and is a pre-condition for a real European labour market, she remarked.
Denne forordning - som er blevet ændret og ajourført flere gange - er i dag et særdeles kompliceret og uhåndterligt stykke lovgivning.
At present, the regulation was both complex and opaque.
I praksis er det kun 2 % af arbejdstagerne, der arbejder i et andet EU-medlemsland.
The modernised regulation, as proposed by the Commission, would widen the scope of the regulation.
Reformforslag fra 1998 I december 1998 fremlagde EU-Kommissionen et forslag til forordning om en reform af forordning 1408/71.
The Commissioner stated that the regulation would now apply to all workers in the Union, (previously the regulation was only applicable to migrant or cross-border workers).
Det grundlæggende princip i både den gamle og nye forordning er, at EU-lovgivningen ikke tager sigte på at erstatte lovgivningen i de enkelte medlemsstater, men at koordinere medlemsstaternes ordninger.
Modernising the existing regulation, the Commissioner stressed, would also make it easier for cross-border workers to benefit from social security if required.
Der er flere nye ting i Kommissionens forslag, herunder:
Rapporteur Jean LAMBERT (Greens/EFA, London) stressed in her opening remarks that the Commission proposal only sought to improve coordination and not achieve harmonisation of social security systems.
Lovgivningsteksten er skåret ned til 2/3 af den gældende forordning ,
The aim was " parity of treatment ", meaning not that EU citizens would take their national systems with them but that they would be entitled to the benefits available in the host country.
Den nye forordning finder anvendelse på alle personer , der er dækket af socialsikringslovgivningen i en medlemsstat,
She added that it had been frustrating for the Employment Committee to find its room for manoeuvre limited, due to the strict legal basis of the draft regulation and previous Court of Justice rulings.
Den sociale sikring - der omfattes af koordineringen - omfatter også efterløn ,
The public, she argued, felt it was the EU's job to build bridges in this area.
Arbejdsløse får flere rettigheder.
She then highlighted some points of particular concern.
Arbejdssøgende vil også få ret til arbejdsløshedsunderstøttelse på samme betingelser som borgerne i den medlemsstat, hvor der søges arbejde og
The definition of a family unit was a contentious issue and she thought cases were likely to come before the Court of Justice if same-sex unions were not recognised.
En grænsearbejder - og dennes familie - skal forsikres for sundhedsmæssige forsorgsydelser i den medlemsstat, hvor vedkommende søger arbejde.
Disabled people who moved to a new Member State often lost benefit entitlements.
Endvidere skal en arbejdsløs grænsearbejder have ret til at vælge mellem at stille sig til rådighed for arbejdsformidlingen i den stat, hvor vedkommende sidst havde arbejde, eller bopælsstaten.
She also raised the question of taxation, while emphasising that her report only referred to the issue and did not seek tax harmonisation.
Forenkling Den græske Kommissær for Beskæftigelse og Sociale Anliggender Anna DIAMANTOPOULOU indledte debatten med at understrege, at hovedformålet med Kommissionens forslag er at forenkle og modernisere forordningen om koordinering af de sociale sikringsordninger.
One problem was that as tax and social security systems were merged, discrepancies arose between nationals and non-nationals as regards the payment of tax and the right to claim certain allowances.
Hun fremhævede, at bestemmelserne i forordningen ikke lever op til de nuværende udfordringer på det europæiske arbejdsmarked .
For the EPP-ED group, Ria OOMEN-RUIJTEN (NL) stated that her group broadly supported the modernisation of the regulation.
Det er derfor vigtigt, at få skabt en EU-lovgivning, der er gennemskuelig for borgerne i EU, og som sikrer EU-borgernes fri bevægelighed.
However, her group had put forward amendments so as to ensure that the regulation be ready for enlargement.
Diamantopoulou lagde særligt vægt på tre hovedpunkter i forbindelse med modernisering af forordningen:
She welcomed the fact that pension regulations in the Union had been simplified and that these now could be included within the scope of the regulation.
Udvidelse af anvendelsesområde : forordningen skal ikke kun omfatte arbejdstagere i EU, men derimod alle EU's borgere,
There was also a welcome for the inclusion of disability allowance within the regulation.
Pensionister og førtidspensionister skal kunne modtage ydelser på tværs af grænserne og
Mrs Oomen-Ruijten pointed out that the regulation now took on board much of the recent case law of the European Court of Justice which meant that family members of cross-border workers could also benefit from the regulation.
Under forelæggelsen af sin betænkning sagde den britiske grønne Jean LAMBERT, at det drejer sig om at koordinere - og ikke at harmonisere.
Of particular concern, however, was the definition of the family unit within the regulation.
Vi vil forenkle og modernisere forordningen.
Finally Mrs Oomen-Ruijten questioned the necessity of opening a debate on same-sex marriages at this particular time.
Hun beklagede, at grænsearbejdere ofte har problemer med beskatningen, og de betaler ofte 2 gange for samme ydelse.
Barbara WEILER (D), for the PES group, was disappointed that further progress and simplification had not been possible earlier.
Oomen-Ruijten erkendte, at der var problemer med anerkendelse af partnerskaber mellem personer af samme køn , men dette vil vi ikke bruge til at bringe forordningen i fare.
She too recognised the need to include the jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice in this area and welcomed the inclusion of disability allowances within the scope of the regulation given that this year was the European Year of Disabled People.
Det europæiske arbejdsmarked Den tyske socialdemokrat Barbara WEILER fastslog, at det drejer sig om at skabe det europæiske arbejdsmarked.
In contrast to the EPP-ED group, Mrs Weiler called for a wide, modern and tolerant definition of the family unit.
Den hollandske liberale Johanna BOOGERD-QUAAK understregede, at målet er at forenkle den frie bevægelighed for personer, men kun 2 % af arbejdstagerne har arbejde i en andet EU-medlemsland.
Johanna BOOGERD-QUAAK (NL) for the Liberal Group, pointed out that only 2% of EU citizens worked in another EU country.
Hun boede selv i Sydholland tæt på grænsen til Belgien, men hun kunne ikke anbefale landsmænd at arbejde for Volvo-fabrikken i Belgien - tæt på grænsen til Holland - da det var usikkert om de sociale sikringsordninger var vandtætte, og det er svært at forklare til en 60 år gammel hollandsk dame.
She commended the Commission on its draft but was critical of the Council, saying it had placed a sword of Damocles over the negotiators, in effect threatening delay if not everyone agreed with its position.
Social udstødelse Den franske GUE'er Sylviane AINARDI fastslog, at det afgørende er, at arbejdstagerne ikke mister deres sociale rettigheder, når de tager arbejde i et andet EU-medlemsland.
Citing a practical case, she said people in her region on the Belgium/Netherlands border would happily cross frontiers to work provided proper social security provision was in place.
Hun pegede på, at Italien, Frankrig og Tyskland er ved at skære ned på de sociale ydelser , og at der ifølge Eurostat er fare for, at 15 % vil blive socialt udstødte.
Lastly, bureaucratic obstacles must be overcome and the system, once in place, must also be managed properly.
Statsløse og flygtninge Den hollandske grønne Theodorus BOUWMAN pegede på de særlige problemer statsløse og flygtninge står over for og understregede, at det er nødvendigt at finde bedre ordninger for grænsearbejdere.
Sylviane AINARDI (F) for the EUL/NGL Group, backed the principle of better social security co-ordination and picked out a number of points, such as maternity/paternity leave and the definition of a household, where she said there were discrepancies between different countries.
Dårlige vilkår for pendlere Anne E. JENSEN fra Venstre fremhævede de forhindringer , der eksisterer for arbejdstagere, der pendler mellem EU-landene.
However, she was concerned about threats to the European social model, especially in countries such as France, Italy and Germany, which were running budget deficits considered excessive under the Maastricht criteria.
Hun påpegede problemerne ved den dansk-tyske grænse, hvor der på nuværende tidspunkt kun er ca. 1000 personer, der pendler med henblik på at arbejde.
Upward harmonisation of social security was what was needed, and the Maastricht criteria should be reviewed in that light, she concluded.
Jensen understregede, at der er stor forskel på, hvordan man i de forskellige EU-lande finansierer sociale sikringsordninger , hvilket er medvirkende til at give pendlere problemer.
Theodorus BOUWMAN (NL), for the Greens/EFA group, stated that the regulation up until now had been extremely problematic.
Hun sagde ligeledes, at hun ville foretrække et socialt system, der blev finansieret via øremærkede bidrag, fremfor den skattemæssige finansiering , der anvendes i Danmark.
However, Mr Bouwman recognised that progress between the Parliament, Council and the Commission would now be possible, and in particular, he welcomed the agreement on the inclusion of refugees and stateless people within the scope of the regulation.
I tråd med Diamantopoulou mente Jensen, at det er absolut nødvendigt at forenkle koordineringen af de sociale sikringsordninger , EU-medlemslandene imellem.
Mr Bouwman pointed out that only 2% of EU workers were cross-border workers, simplifying and modernising this regulation, he said, would help to increase this figure.
Hun bakkede LAMBERT op med hensyn til at samarbejde tættere med Rådet for at fremskynde reformer på området.
Brian CROWLEY (Munster), for the UEN group, stated that modernisation would help to make free-movement a " reality rather than an illusion ."
Hun mente derfor, at det er nødvendigt at reformere forordningen om koordinering af de sociale sikringsordninger.
However, Mr Crowley stated that he would be opposing amendments which referred to the payment of unemployment benefits as this was a competence of national governments.
Thorning-Schmidt kritiserede de danske unionsmodstandere for at have misbrugt forordningen ved at hævde, at den indebærer en underminering af det danske sociale sikringssystem.
Philip Rodway BUSHILL-MATTHEWS (EPP-ED, West Midlands) stated that the principles within the regulation deserved support.
Hun beklagede, at de danske unionsmodstandere ikke var til stede i salen til at diskutere emnet.
However, he stated that many of the ideas in the new regulation " go too far ."
Thorning-Schmidt sagde, at de danske socialdemokrater ikke frygter , at en koordinering af de sociale sikringsordninger indenfor EU vil give anledning til masseindvandring eller misbrug af de sociale systemer.
Any reference to harmonisation of taxation, he underlined, could not be supported nor could the amendments proposed on the payment of unemployment benefit.
Hun understregede dog, at det er centralt at holde øje med utilsigtede virkninger , og at skride til øjeblikkeligt handling, hvis sådanne viser sig.
Overall, despite being in favour of many of the principles contained within the existing regulation, he stated that he would be opposing the rapporteur.
Thorning-Schmidt anmodede EU-Kommissær Diamantopoulou om at understrege følgende tre punkter:
Proinsias DE ROSSA (PES, Dublin) on the other hand fully supported Mrs Lambert and stated that the authorities responsible for implementation would welcome the simplification of the regulation.
at der ikke er tale om en harmonisering af de sociale sikringsordninger,
Mr De Rossa was one speaker to voice support for tax and social security harmonisation within the Union.
at man ikke vil acceptere forringelser af de sociale sikringssystemer og
He said overall the proposals would make life much easier for cross-border workers and looked forward to agreement either during the Italian or Irish presidency.
at man ikke vil acceptere utilsigtede virkninger .
Returning to the debate, Mrs Lambert clarified that refugees and stateless people were already covered by the existing regulation.
Høring af ØSU:Sikkerhed og sundhed på arbejdspladsen
She called for a wide definition of the family unit and said rights to social security for family members was a particularly important issue to solve.
Sikkerhed og sundhed på arbejdspladsen i tiltrædelseslandene
In her response to the debate, Mrs Diamantopoulou stressed that the regulation was both political and technocratic.
Sikkerhed og sundhed på arbejdspladsen Tirsdag stemte EP om en anmodning om høring af ØSU vedrørende sikkerhed og sundhed på arbejdspladsen i tiltrædelseslandene.
The regulation was about modernisation and simplification and not harmonisation.
EP vedtog anmodningen.
She also stated that it was necessary to take into account the recent case law of the Court of Justice.
