Parliament calls for greater investment in the aquaculture sector
Afskaf dødsstraffen!
Hugues MARTIN (EPP-ED, F)
EP tilskynder de libanesiske myndigheder til at afskaffe dødsstraffen, ratificere FN’s konvention imod tortur og undertegne Romstatutten for den Internationale Straffedomstol .
Report on aquaculture in the European Union: present and future
Procedure: Forslag til beslutning
Procedure : Own-initiative report
Hovedformålet med den fremtidige politik for den nordlige dimension bliver at tage de udfordringer og muligheder op, som vil opstå i kølvandet på EU’s udvidelse mod øst, som vil forlænge EU’s grænser til Rusland og gøre Belarus og Ukraine til EU’s nye nabolande.
Aquaculture is seen as crucial since it is a growth industry, which can therefore make up job losses in traditional fishing likely to result from the reform - especially in peripheral areas where there are few alternative sources of employment.
EP udtrykker taknemmelighed over det arbejde, det danske EU-formandskab har udført for den nordlige dimension, men man er bekymret over, at den nordlige dimension ikke er nævnt i det græske og italienske formandskabs program for 2003.
In the resolution, Members address the concerns often raised about the environmental impact of aquaculture and the effects these have on the sector’s image by calling on the Commission "to step up research in all areas of aquaculture without exception".
Sætte fokus på sociale uligheder , som kan forventes at blive større mellem det udvidede EU og de tilgrænsende lande og regioner,
MEPs underline that the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance (FIFG) regulation must be amended to enable the sector to become eligible for new types of financial support.
Tværnationalt samarbejde også på regionalt og lokalt niveau m.m.

Fiskeri i internationale farvande: Ansvarligt fiskeri
Fishing in International Waters
EP vedtog en betænkning af den spanske socialist Rosa MIGUELEZ RAMOS om EU-fiskerflådens højsøfiskeri og fjernfiskeri på fiskepladser uden for EU .
Parliament adopted a own-initiative report on fisheries in international waters in the context of external action under the common fisheries policy.
EU har underskrevet fikeriaftaler med tredjelande, som giver EU-fiskerfartøjer lov til at fiske på åbent hav eller i andre staters eksklusive zone.

Humanitarian crisis in North Korea
Fangsten er på 2,7 millioner tons om året, og den har en værdi på ca. 614 mio. euro.
Joint Motion for a Resolution on the humanitarian crisis in North Korea
FN-organisationen FAO anslår, at 13,2 millioner mennesker – ud af 23,2 millioner – lider af underernæring i Nordkorea .
According to a report by the UN Food and Agricultural Organisation, it is now estimated that 13.2 million people out of 23.2 million in North Korea are malnourished.
EP vedtog en beslutning, hvori man udtrykker bekymring over de afsavn, som størstedelen af befolkningen lider under som følge af manglen på, mad, varme og lægehjælp .
In this light, Parliament adopted a resolution expressing its concern at the deprivation suffered by the majority of the population in North Korea who lack food, heating and healthcare.
Humanitær hjælp: 9,5 mio. Euro Europa-Parlamentet glæder sig derfor over, at EU-Kommissionen den 8.
MEPs also have grave concerns at the continuing large scale human rights violations throughout the country, and urge North Korea to improve its human rights record as this constitutes an indispensable precondition for closer relations both with its neighbours and with the wider world.
Januar 2003 vedtog en beslutning om humanitær hjælp til en værdi af 9,5 mio. euro som et bidrag til dækning af gravide og ammende kvinders samt børns behov i den nordkoreanske vinter .
Parliament also calls on North Korea to immediately halt all threats to develop nuclear weapons, to repeal its decision to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty and to accept international verification to prove the sincerity of its intentions.
Trusler om atomvåben EP henviser til, at Nordkorea i december 2002 trak sig ud af traktaten om ikke-spredning af kernevåben efter at have udvist våbeninspektørerne fra det Internationale Atomenergiagentur og bekendtgjort, at Nordkorea agtede at genopstarte sine atomkraftfaciliteter i Yongbyon, som har kapacitet til at producere våbenplutonium .
Finally, Parliament renewed its invitation to the Supreme People's Assemblies to send a high level delegation to the European Parliament so that food and humanitarian issues may be addressed.
EP opfordrer derfor Nordkorea til straks at tage alle trusler om udvikling af atomvåben tilbage, til at omgøre sin beslutning om at trække sig ud af ikke-sprednings-traktaten og til at acceptere international kontrol.
At the next mini-plenary session of Parliament in Brussels, the Council and Commission will make a statement on the withdrawal of North Korea from the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty.
Ækvatorialguinea:Udemokratiske valg!
Joint motion for a resolution on Equatorial Guinea
Den 15. december 2002 afholdt man et valg i Ækvatorialguinea, som resulterede i, at over 97 % af stemmerne – ifølge den nationale valgkommission – gik til den siddende præsident Teodoro Obiang.
The House adopted a resolution on Equatorial Guinea, deploring the political conditions under which the elections were held which flawed the electoral process and resulted in the elections being neither fair nor free.
I en beslutning om dette udemokratiske valg fastslår EP, at det ikke fandt sted på demokratisk vis i henhold til landets forfatning.
Parliament calls for the setting up of a true democratic process and the strengthening of the rule of law in Equatorial Guinea including ceasing persecution of opposition members and their families and by respecting international undertakings to respect and protect fundamental human rights.
EP opfordrer indtrængende regeringen til at give fuld amnesti til medlemmerne af den politiske opposition og til øjeblikkeligt at løslade alle politiske fanger.

EP er dybt skuffet over, at det ikke er lykkedes at forlænge mandatet til OSCE’s bistandsgruppe til Tjetjenien, som udløb den 31. december 2002 .
In adopting a resolution on the non-prolongation of the OSCE mandate in Chechnya, Parliament expresses its deep disappointment over the failure to renew the mandate of the OSCE assistance group for Chechnya which expired on 31 December 2002.
EP opfordrer derfor Rusland til at indvillige i omgående at genoptage forhandlinger om en forlængelse af OSCE’s mandat som helhed, idet det ikke bør være begrænset til kun at fokusere på samordning af humanitær nødhjælp i regionen.
Parliament again urges both sides to find the way back to the negotiating table as only a political solution can lead to long lasting peace in the region.
Retsforfølgning EP opfordrer begge parter til at finde tilbage til forhandlingsbordet, da kun en politisk løsning kan skabe langvarig fred i regionen .
Parliament calls on the Russian Government to stop pressuring internally displaced people into returning to Chechnya and to ensure that they continue to enjoy protection and humanitarian assistance in accordance with international law.
Man opfordrer endvidere Rusland til en ”proaktiv politik” med retsforfølgning af alle borgere – herunder militært personale – som har begået alvorlige kriminelle handlinger I Tjetjenien.
MEPs stress the need to ensure that repatriation of refugees takes place exclusively on a voluntary basis.
Den russiske regering har bebudet, at der vil blive afholdt en folkeafstemning i Tjetjenien i marts 2003, og EP håber, at dette vil være det første skridt i en proces, der fører til demokratiske og retfærdige valg.
Finally, the House calls on the Russian Government to secure the early release of Mr Erkel, a humanitarian Médecins Sans Frontières worker who remains kidnapped in the region.

Krisen i Irak: Krig eller fred?
Changes in the last 60 day Outgoing Members : Incoming Members
MEP'erne var enige om, at man skal gøre alt for at undgå en krig i Irak - som bør være den absolut sidste udvej .
Statement by the High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy on the situation in Iraq
Dette forstyrrede Solana, og den irske EP-formand Pat COX fastslog over for MEP'erne, "at nu har vi forstået budskabet".
The reports from the inspectors, he said, contained a mixed message on Iraq's co-operation up to now.
I sin tale kom Solana ind på 4 problemområder, nemlig Irak, Mellemøsten, Nordkorea og Balkan.
The Council set out the EU policy on Iraq in the current situation, without entering into any speculation on next steps.
Aktivt samarbejde Solana understregede, at der vil foregå et intensivt arbejde omkring Irak i de kommende uger.
Indeed, he underlined that the EU believes that the UN Security Council is the right body to examine the inspectors' reports and to decide on possible future steps.
I mandags havde man haft et møde mellem trojka-formandskabet, EU's 4 medlemslande i FN's Sikkerhedsråd og Javier Solana og Chris Patten.
He also stressed the importance of the close co-ordination between EU's members of the Security Council: France, United Kingdom, Germany and Spain.
Her havde der været enighed om 4 grundlæggende punkter:
Important differences remain he said, but there is unanimity on the following of key principles:
Irak skal ikke have masseødelæggelsesvåben, og de skal afvæbnes,
first, that the goal remains the effective and complete disarmament of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, as stated in Security Council resolutions, particularly UNSCR 1441;
Irak skal samarbejde aktivt med våbeninspektørerne,
second, that it is the responsibility of Iraq to co-operate fully and actively with UNMOVIC and the IAEA in this final opportunity to resolve this crisis peacefully;
Våbeninspektørerne skal have al mulig støtte - da de er "vores øjne og ører".
thirdly, that the inspectors should be supported in their efforts to continue and intensify their operations and so complete their mission;
Der skal være flere våbeninspektører, de skal have flere midler, og de skal have mere tid om nødvendigt og
finally, that the responsibility of the UNSC in maintaining international peace and security must be respected.
Bekæmpelsen af spredningen af masseødelæggelsesvåben skal foregå i FN's regi.
Resolving this contraction, he said, would be the key to the crisis.
Europas borgere Solana fastslog, at Europas borgere ikke ønsker krig , ligesom man heller ikke vil acceptere diktatorer.
Turning to the Middle East following yesterday’s elections in Israel, Mr Solana began by congratulating the Israeli people on the fact that, despite the trauma of the last two years, their democracy remained vigorous and healthy.
Vor store udfordring er, hvordan vi skal forene disse 2 krav.
Although the final results were not yet known, it was clear that Mr Sharon had won a clear victory.
Saddam Hussein skal afvæbnes uden anvendelse af magt, og vi arbejder for at undgå anvendelse af magt .
There were no good reasons for further delay, and plenty of good reasons for moving ahead, he said.
Han mente, at den amerikanske udenrigsminister Colin Powell burde videregive USA's oplysninger om masseødelæggelsesvåben i Irak til FN's Sikkerhedsråd.
Second, he said the election does not show that Israelis have lost faith in peace, but rather that they have lost faith in the mechanisms for arriving at that peace.
Valget i Israel Javier Solana mindede om, at valgdeltagelsen - ved valget i Israel dagen før - havde været utroligt lav - ja den laveste siden 1967.
He then turned to the Balkans, where the regional picture, he said, had improved dramatically.
Premierminister Sharon havde vundet en klar sejr, og han burde nu fokusere på en løsning med varig fred i Mellemøsten.
The Copenhagen decisions on enlargement have, however, raised the spectre of marginalisation and "enlargement fatigue" in the region, he commented.
Solana understregede, at spredningen af masseødelæggelsesvåben berører os alle, uanset hvor vi bor, og han mente, at vi burde sende en mission til Nordkorea for at gøre rede for EU's syn på sagen.
It was, therefore, extremely important to keep the Balkans high on the EU's agenda and to send a strong message confirming that the European vocation of the Balkans is real.
Europæisk styrke Den spanske EU-udenrigsrepræsentant pegede på, at man i marts 2003 for første gang nogensinde sender en europæisk styrke til Makedonien .
But eventual membership will, however, require hard work and genuine commitment to reforms by the countries of the region.
Denne europæiske fredsmission sker samtidig med at man har oprettet en politimission i Bosnien-Hercegovina.
This was the double message that the EU needs to send during the coming months.
Udfordret FN Den britiske EU-udenrigskommissær Chris Patten pegede på, at man med globale institutioner og aftaler efter 2. verdenskrig havde gjort verden til et mere sikkert sted.
He looked forward to working closely with the Greek Presidency with a view to a successful Thessaloniki Summit, which should mark a new milestone in the special relationship between the European Union and the Western Balkans.
Men Saddam Hussein har i årevis udfordret FN's myndighed , produceret masseødelæggelsesvåben og krænket menneskerettighederne.
The launching of the EU police mission in Bosnia, and second, the preparations now underway for an EU military mission in FYROM were important developments.
Chris Patten understregede, at den bedste løsning vil være, at FN's våbeninspektører kan nedruste Hussein, men Hussein har endnu ikke lært, at han ikke i længden kan udfordre verdensopinionen .
On North Korea, the High Representative said that he had been encouraged by the South Korean authorities to undertake a diplomatic mission to Pyongyang in order to lend the European Union's weight to international efforts to reduce tension on the peninsula and to help resolve the current crisis.
Hvis våbeninspekørernes opgave blive en "mission impossible ", så vil det ydmyge FN og føre til en svækkelse af FN.
The Council, he said, had agreed in principle to such a mission.
Chris Patten fastslog, at det er vigtigt, at vi takler krisen rigtigt - ellers kan det få alvorlige følger i forholdet til den islamiske verden og i forholdet mellem Europa og USA.
In his address to the House, Commissioner Chris PATTEN , after paying tribute to international processes put in place to guarantee peace over the last fifty years and EU achievements in areas such as Bosnia, noted that the international community had failed to create a system to prevent the spread of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, Nevertheless, turning to the present crisis over Iraq, he emphasised the importance of working through the United Nations.
Massemorder og krigsforbryder Under ordførerrunden sagde formanden for PPE-gruppen, tyskeren Hans-Gert PÖTTERING , at fredsprocessen i Europa og den europæiske integration er et eksempel for andre regioner i verden.
Saddam’s government had an appalling record on human rights, as could be seen in Parliament’s own report on the region, but now it was vital to take note of the work being undertaken by both UN and the International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors.
Voldsanvendelse og krig bør være den absolut sidste udvej .
Every effort should be made to ensure that Saddam allow inspectors to undertake their work.
Saddam Hussein er en tyran, en diktator, en massemorder og krigsforbryder , som har anvendt kemiske våben mod kurderne.
Unfortunately, as he put it, the problem was how to deal with Saddam’s attitude to the international community.
Pöttering understregede, at vi ønsker samarbejde og venskab med de islamiske, arabiske lande, men Irak skal åbne dørene, så Hans Blix og hans team ikke skal gå gennem Irak med lommelygter.
This problem had indeed been recognised by Hans Blix who noted that Iraq had not yet accepted the need to disarm, yet the fact was, it was far preferable for the UN inspectors to persuade him to do this than looking at any other alternative.
Humanitær katastrofe?
He too emphasised the need to work for peace through the United Nations.
Formanden for socialistgruppen, spanieren Enrique BARON fastslog, at vi er imod krig og diktatur.
At the same time, he recognised the violations committed in Iraq and Saddam’s use of weapons of mass destruction against his own people.
Han mente ikke, at en krig i Irak er uundgåelig, men det er nødvendigt at presse Irak.
He then paid tribute to the USA for its role in leading the coalition attack on Iraq after the invasion of Kuwait, but he felt that action now should concentrate on trying to persuade Saddam to disarm, although he too noted that following Hans Blix’s report, the Iraqi leader was not yet ready to do this.
Baron mindede om, at Hans Blix har opfordret Europa til at spille en mere aktiv rolle .
He admitted, however, that sanctions had not proved effective but he too supported an active role for the ”old” united Europe.
Han mente, at en krig i Irak indebærer en risiko for en humanitær katastrofe både i Irak og i Mellemøsten med hundredetusinder af fordrevne mennesker.
He warned of the dangers of a human catastrophe extending to a disaster on the economic front and urged every effort be made to avoid war.
Fredelig løsning!
He felt there was a need for more proof of the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Formanden for den liberale gruppe, skotten Graham WATSON mente, at det burde være muligt for de 4 EU-lande i FN's Sikkerhedsråd at påvirke udviklingen - hvis man er enige.
Graham WATSON (South West), for the ELDR group, pointed out that the EU currently had 4 Member States on the UN Security Council, including France as President.
Han pegede på, at våbeninspektørerne gør et godt stykke arbejde, og at de bør fortsætte deres arbejde, så vi kan få en fredelig løsning på konflikten.
He urged the EU to speak with one voice and wondered whether wide co-ordination meetings would be a regular occurrence or just a one off.
Watson understregede, at Saddam Hussein er en krigsforbryder, og vi kan ikke acceptere, at han går i eksil.
For his group, war would always be the last resort, but he did not accept the possibility of Saddam going into exile in return for impunity.
Nødvendige tid Den franske kommunist Francis WURTZ mente, at USA under George W. Bush har fået den mest ensidige og krigeriske regering i USA's historie .
He stressed that Saddam Hussein was a war criminal and should be tried before the International Criminal Court.
Wurtz fastslog, at våbeninspektørerne skal have den nødvendige tid, og vi må høre på vore befolkninger.
He called for more time for the inspectors, but warned that resolution 1441 ”would have to be enforced”, if the inspectors failed.
Blair og Aznar står alene i des lande, og tyskerne og franskmændene er imod en krig Irak.
He called for Europe to take a stand against the US position and not to simply to fall in behind it.
Irak har olie Den franske grønne Daniel COHN-BENDIT fastslog, at hvis Irak ikke samarbejder, så må man tvinge dem til at samarbejde.
For the Greens/EFA group, Daniel Marc COHN-BENDIT (F) questioned whether international law had been respected and at what point it would be justifiable legally to go to war.
Hussein har aldrig været så svag som nu - han er en svag diktator!
Saddam Hussein, he said, was now a weak leader, that was not capable of a serious threat; he further saw inconsistencies in the international community’s view to other more ”dangerous” states such as Iran, and North Korea.
Cohn-Bendit mente, at grunden til at man vil intervenere i Irak er, at Irak har olie .
He said for the international community to be credible in the region, a solution to the Palestinian question would have to be reached.
4 millioner mennesker blev dræbt med knive i Uganda.
Iraq could not, in his opinion, be a threat to the world, since its leadership had been crushed by the first Gulf War and its people by sanctions.
Man greb ikke ind, fordi de ikke havde olie.
But she pointed to growing opposition to war and the international peace demonstration planned for 15 February.
I Bosnien greb man heller ikke ind - fordi de ikke havde olie.
Baroness Emma NICHOLSON (ELDR, South East) pointed out that Iraq was in material breach of several UN resolutions.
Den portugisiske UEN'er Luis QUEIRO understregede, at vi ikke må give Irak mulighed for at vinde tid, medens den hollandske EDD'er Bastiaan BELDER mente, at Hussein sidder og griner af FN's våbeninspektører.
Iraq, she said, was guilty of supporting terrorist organisations possibly including Al-Quaeda.
Hussein er en trussel mod situationen i Mellemøsten - fordi der er olie i Irak.
Resolution 1441 gave Iraq one last slender chance, she said, but Iraq had refused to take it.
Krigsmageren George W. Bush Jean-Marie LE PEN fra le Front national mente, at den internationale krise er skabt af George W. Bush - det er ham der er krigsmageren.
Niall ANDREWS (UEN, Dublin), while not doubting that Saddam Hussein was a danger to his own people took the view that George Bush was a threat to the whole world.
Den amerikanske og britiske armada fører en "kanonpolitik" i Golfen .
There was, he said, no evidence of a link between Al-Quaeda and Iraq.
Hvorfor skal man afvæbne Irak, et land hvis infrastruktur er ødelagt af Kuwait-krigen, og som bliver overvåget af satellitter og spionfly.
Pointing to the 7 million people who had died in the region since the Gulf war, Mr Andrews was convinced that the forthcoming US action was about oil and he held out the possibility of a widening conflict later encompassing neighbouring countries such as Iran.
USA's oliereserver vil være opbrugt om 10 år, og nu vil man føre krig for at få fat i Iraks olie, sluttede le Pen.
Jonathan EVANS (EPP-ED, Wales) said that Iraq had been in breach of several UN resolutions for over 10 years.
Alternativet: Styrke demokratiet i Irak Pernille FRAHM fra SF pegede på, at det er USA, der har skabt Saddam Hussein, og at USA var informeret, da han anvendte masseødelæggelsesvåben mod sit eget folk.
Responsibility, he said, was for Iraq to disarm, the emphasis, he continued should be on Iraq to demonstrate that it had no weapons of mass destruction rather than on the UN inspectors finding weapons.
Hun understregede, at det er vigtigt, at Solana og Patten arbejder for, at vi står sammen om at sikre international ret - og at vi afviser en krig.
If the international community failed in disarming Iraq, he said, the credibility of both the US and the UN would be severely undermined.
Alternativet er at styrke demokratiet i Irak - at styrke de demokratiske kræfter i landet.
As to future action, he pointed out that the existing UN resolution 1441 did state that Iraq was in breach of its obligations and warned that failure to comply would lead to ”serious consequences”.
Man bør føre en politik til afvæbning af hele regionen, og det gælder både Irak, Iran og Israel.
Failure to act if Saddam continued not to comply would threaten the whole credibility of the UN, he said.
Vejen frem er demokrati, udvikling og samarbejde , sluttede Pernille Frahm.
If another UN resolution was required, then it was vital for this to be supported by the EU.
