Den foreslåede mærkning af genetisk modificerede fødevarer og foderstoffer skal først og fremmest sikre forbrugeren frit valg .
The committee reinstates a number of key amendments adopted by Parliament at first reading:
En afgørende forudsætning herfor er, at der skelnes mellem ge-netisk modificerede og ikke-genetisk modificerede fødevarer og foderstoffer.
- with regard to the derogation to the labelling requirements in the case of adventitious or technically unavoidable presence of GMOs, the maximum tolerance threshold should be 0.5% for each ingredient rather than 0.9% as proposed in the common position;
Tærskelværdi på 0,5 % I en betænkning af den østrigske socialdemokrat Karin SCHEELE erkender EP’s miljøudvalg, at Rådets fælles holdning på en lang række vigtige punkter har accepteret EP’s ændringsforslag under 1. behandlingen.
The Council is proposing a three-year transitional period during which a tolerance threshold of 0.5% would apply for unauthorised GMOs which had received positive scientific risk assessments.
EP krævede dog under 1. behandlingen en grænseværdi for mærkning på 0,5 %, men kun for fødevarer fremstillet af GMO.
- measures should be taken to ensure the co-existence of GM production and non-GM production.
Rådet har imidlertid ønsket en grænseværdi på højst 0,9 % for utilsigtet eller teknisk uundgåelig tilstedeværelse af GMO-materiale, men EP’s miljøudvalg insisterer på en tærskelværdi på 0,5 %.
The committee also proposes a number of changes aimed at streamlining the procedures relating to applications for initial authorisations and for renewals and interim reports.
I Scheele-betænkningen fremsætter man i alt 43 ændringsforslag til Rådets fælles holdning.
The common position stipulates that applications for initial authorisations should be submitted to the national competent authority of a Member State but that all applications for renewals and all interim reports should be addressed to the Commission.
Hormonrestkoncentrationer i kød: Stoffer med hormonal og thyreostatisk virkning
Stock-farming and prohibiting damaging substances
Ordfører: Karl Erik OLSSON (ELDR, S)
Karl Erik OLSSON (ELDR, S)
Med Rådets direktiv 96/22/EF fastlagde man et forbud mod anvendelse af visse stoffer med hormonal og thyreostatisk virkning og af beta-agonister i husdyrbrug.
Karl Erik OLSSON (ELDR, S) will be putting forward a draft legislative resolution on prohibition of substances with hormonal or thyrostatic action and beta-agonists in stock-farming.
Direktivet forbyder - med visse undtagelser - indførsel af husdyr og akvakulturdyr fra tredjelande, der har fået indgivet de forbudte stoffer.
The committee is proposing to delete the article in the common position allowing for veterinary medicinal products containing ” oestradiol 17 beta ” to be administered to animals for certain treatments (Article 5a).
Konklusionen var imidlertid - kort fortalt - at der ikke kan fastslås nogen tærskelværdi og nogen acceptabel daglig indtagelse for nogen af hormonerne.
However, they say that exceptions could be made for the treatment of non-farm animals, i.e. animals not used for food production.
I en betænkning af den svenske liberale Karl-Erik OLSSON vender EP’s miljøudvalg sig mod Rådets forslag om at tillade veterinærmedicinske produkter, der indeholder oestradiol 17 beta til dyr, idet man mener, at videnskabelige undersøgelser viser, at dette kan fremkalde kræft.
The committee also proposes to delete the new article stipulating that the Commission should report to Council and Parliament within two years on the availability of alternative veterinary medical products which did not contain oestradial 17 beta.
Miljøudvalget har fremlagt 16 ændringsforslag til EP’s 2. behandling.
It points out that such alternatives are already available.
GMO'er: Sporbarhed og mærkning
Traceability and labelling of GMOs
Ordfører: Antonios TRAKATELLIS (PPE-DE, GR)
Antonios TRAKATELLIS (EPP-ED, GR)
I efteråret 2001 fremlagde EU-Kommissionen et forslag til forordning om sporbarhed og mærkning af genetisk modificerede organismer og sporbarhed af fødevarer og foder fremstillet af genetisk modificerede organismer.
Antonios TRAKATELLIS (EPP-ED, GR), for the Environment Committee, will be tabling a draft legislative resolution on the traceability and labelling of GMOs.
I ændringsforslag 4 fastslår udvalget, at ”Det er nødvendigt at sikre, at forbrugerne får fyldestgørende og troværdige oplysninger om GMO’er og de produkter, fødevarer og foderstoffer, der fremstilles heraf, således at de kan basere deres valg på forudgående information”.
Pre-packaged products produced from GMOs should, say MEPs in the committee, be described as such, using the words " This product is produced from GMOs " on the label and also as part of any display or advertising.
Udvalget lægger endvidere stor vægt på, at anvendelsen af GMO’er sker under iagttagelse af forsigtighedsprincippet.
In view of the narrow majorities at Parliament's first reading, the difficulty of reaching a common position in Council and the concessions already gained, Mr Trakatellis is urging MEPs to moderate their demands at this second-reading stage.
Emballagedirektivet: Strengere tidsfrister
Packaging and packaging waste – mandatory targets set out
Ordfører: Dorette CORBEY (PSE, NL)
Dorette CORBEY (PES, NL)
Rådets fælles holdning med henblik på vedtagelse af Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv om ændring af direktiv 94/62/EF om emballage og emballageaffald
Report on the Council common position for adopting a European Parliament and Council directive amending Directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste
Strengere tidsfrister Ændringen af emballagedirektivet kommer på et vigtigt tidspunkt.
Dorette CORBEY (PES, NL) for the Environment Committee is tabling a draft legislative resolution on packaging waste.
Miljøhandlingsprogram kommer ind i gennemførelsesfasen, og den integrerede produktpolitik er under forberedelse.
Although MEPs left many points in the Council common position untouched, they did reintroduce specific demands on timetables, the prevention of packaging waste, exports of such waste and exemptions to the directive.
Alt dette gør det nødvendigt med en omfattende og grundig ændring af emballagedirektivet.
Recycling and recovery targets The committee accepts the minimum targets for recovery and recycling of packaging waste contained in the Council's common position.
I en betænkning af den hollandske socialist Dorette CORBEY bekræfter EP’s miljøudvalg sit ønske om, at afkorte tidsfristen for EU-landenes regeringer til at genanvende emballageaffald.
However, it refuses to back the Council's attempt to water down the timetable for these targets and is only prepared to lengthen the timetable in the original Commission proposal by six months.
Selv om miljøudvalget har accepteret en del af ændringerne i Rådets fælles holdning, så har man genfremsat en del ændringsforslag fra EP’s 1. behandling såsom
The targets laid down by the committee are as follows: Overall target for recovery of packaging waste: 60% as a minimum by weight no later than 31 December 2006 Overall target for recycling of packaging waste: 55% as a minimum by weight no later than 31 December 2006 Material-specific targets for recycling of packaging waste no later than 31 December 2006 (by weight): glass - 60%; paper and board – 60%; metals – 50%; plastics – 22.5%; wood – 15%.
undtagelser fra direktivet m.m.
It also proposes an amendment stressing that the directive must be implemented by the future Member States.
Deadline: 31. december 2006 EP’s miljøudvalg går ind for følgende mål:
This applies to new packaging for both new and existing products.
mindst 60 % af emballageaffaldet skal genindvindes inden 31. december 2006,
Member States must also ensure that other preventive measures are put into effect, such as national programmes.
mindst 55 % af emballageaffaldet skal genanvendes (recycling) inden 31. december 2006 og
For example, CD and video cases for short-term use will be regarded as packaging but flower pots will not, unless they are added just to assist sales.
60 % glas, 60 % papir m.m., 50 % metal, 22,5 % plastik og 15 % træ skal genanvendes fra emballageaffald inden 31. december 2006.
Unsurprisingly, wrapping and gift paper sold as a separate product are also exempt.
Handel med kvoter: Drivhusgasemissioner i EU
Greenhouse gas emission allowance trading
Ordfører: Jorge MOREIRA DA SILVA (PPE-DE, P)
Jorge MOREIRA DA SILVA (EPP-ED, P)
Det sker i en betænkning af den portugisiske PPE’er Jorge MOREIRA DA SILVA , som blev vedtaget med 47 stemmer mod 3 - medens 2 undlod at stemme.
MEPs in the committee are hopeful that, by limiting the number of amendments, there will be a good chance of reaching agreement with Council at second reading.
Ifølge Kommissionens forslag skal EU’s emissionshandelsordning starte i 2005 og omfatte 2 perioder - nemlig 2005-2008 og 2008-2012.
At first reading, Parliament had sought to expand the scheme proposed by the Commission to include all greenhouse gases and not just carbon dioxide, and to widen the range of industries covered by the new legislation.
Forslaget omfatter 10.000 virksomheder (store stationære anlæg)
The scheme should cut the cost to the EU of meeting its Kyoto Protocol targets by €1.3 bn a year.
i energisektoren (kraftværker, raffinaderier, koksværker) og
It would enter into force in two stages, with a trial phase running from 2005 to 2007 and the second stage covering 2008 to 2012.
industrisektoren (ferrometal-, papir- og mineralindistrien)
Industries affected Parliament wanted at first reading to include chemical and aluminium industries in the directive over and above the industries proposed by the Commission, which were the energy sector (combustion, refineries, coke furnaces) and the ferrous metals, paper and mineral industries.
der tegner sig for 46 % af alle kuldioxidemissioner i Europa.
This demand was rejected by Council.
Målene EU’s ordning for handel med kvoter for drivhusgasser skal bidrage til:
Parliament also calls for the directive to be revised in 2006 to include further sectors such as services and transport.
allerede fra 2005 at rette op på den manglende opfyldelse af Kyoto-forpligtelserne ,
The Environment Committee also wants to include not only CO2 but all six greenhouse gases from 2005.
opnå en kraftig reduktion af omkostningerne ved Kyoto-forpligtelserne med besparelser på 1,3 mia. euro pr. år indtil 2010 i EU.
The committee is putting forward a compromise amendment that would fix the number of licences to be auctioned in 2008 at 5%.
EU-budget 2004: MEP’ers prioriteter til samrådsprocduren
It said ceilings must be lowered after the new Member States join the EU to prevent a surplus of emissions.
Ordfører: Jan MULDER (ELDR, NL)
Giovanni FAVA (PES, I)
Procedure: Den ikke-lovgivningsmæssige procedure
Procedure : Codecision procedure (2nd procedure)
I en betænkning af den hollandske liberale Jan MULDER fremlægger EP’s budgetudvalg sine prioriteter for 2004-budgettet forud for samrådsmødet mellem EP og Ministerrådet, som finder sted den 16. juli 2003 .
The Single European Sky is nowhere near ready for take-off, says the Transport Committee, which proposes to turn down the Council's common positions on two proposals designed to ensure better use of existing airspace and improve safety conditions in Europe's skies as of 2004.
Samrådet foregår umiddelbart før Ministerrådets 1. behandling af EU-budgettet for 2004.
Key amendments from first reading are therefore being re-tabled, with hard bargaining in conciliation likely to follow.
Under samrådet vil man søge at nå til enighed om udgiftsrammen for landbrugspolitik, internationale fiskeriaftaler og den fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik.
According to the Greek Presidency, the Member States are refusing to accept any changes in sensitive areas such as co-operation between the civil and military domains and sovereignty over national airspace.
2003-budgettet: Uindfriede forpligtelser og uudnyttede bevillinger
Transport Committee rejects Council's ecopoints proposals for Austria
Ordfører: Göran FÄRM (PSE, S)
Luciano CAVERI (ELDR, I)
Den svenske socialdemokrat Göran FÄRM har udarbejdet en betænkning om EU-budgettet for 2003.
Luciano CAVERI (ELDR, I), for the Transport Committee is putting forward a draft legislative resolution which broadly rejects the Council's common position on an ecopoint system for heavy vehicles transiting through Austria for 2004.
Den drejer sig bl.a. om gennemførelsesprofil, bevillingsoverførsler og tillægs- og ændringsbudgetter.
MEPs in the committee conclude that the common position does not differ one iota from the text of the Council's political agreement of 31 December 2002, to which they had already made known their opposition.
EP’s budgetudvalg peger på, at de samlede uindfriede forpligtelser er steget fra 110,7 mia. euro pr. 30. april 2002 til 126,1 mia. euro samme dato i år .
All Parliament’s amendments from first reading will therefore be reinstated.
Budgetudvalget er foruroliget over denne generelle stigning, og man minder Kommissionen om, at den har lovet at forelægge en handlingsplan, der behandler alle potentielt unormale uindfriede forpligtelser og en tidsplan for afviklingen af denne inden udgangen af 2003.
However, given the agreement reached in Council, conciliation is now likely to be needed.
Uudnyttede bevillinger EP’s budgetudvalg beklager, at overskuddet i 2002 , som Kommissionen forelægger i ændringsbudget 3/2003, udgør 7,4 mia. euro .
The key amendments to be re-tabled for second reading are as follows:
Dette beløb består af ca. 9 mia. euro i i underudnyttelse af EU-programmer i 2002, 1,3 mia. euro i indtægtsnedgang i forhold til prognoserne og et tab på 0,3 mia. euro i kursudsving.
If the Commission's proposal on charging for the use of infrastructure has not entered into force by the end of 2004, measures to encourage the use of environmentally-friendly lorries in key areas of the Alps (notably the Brenner, the Tauern and the Pyhrn) must be phased in.
Overskuddet i 2002 er et fremskridt, i betragtning af at overskuddet for 2001, der tilbageførtes til medlemsstaterne sidste år, udgjorde mere end det dobbelte, nemlig 15 mia. euro .
The scope of the regulation must be extended to include the applicant countries, with the quotas being increased proportionally by each new Member State and by year.
Man mener dog, at 9 mia. euro i underudnyttelse er et uacceptabelt højt beløb.
In proposing these amendments, MEPs wish to balance environmental concerns with the free movement of goods and services.
Det er især inden for strukturfonde, interne politikker og førtiltrædelsesstøtte, at udnyttelsen af bevillingerne ligger langt under forventningerne.
Polluting lorries, they believe, can be gradually replaced by the new ” EURO 4 ” lorries.
I Färm-betænkningen er budgetudvalget dybt foruroliget over, at den samlede gennemførelse i de 4 første måneder i 2003 ligger lavere end i den tilsvarende periode i 2002 , og at Kommissionen har forklaret det med forsinkelser som følge af nye procedurer - finansforordningen.
They also stress that a solution for the Alps should be sought in a much wider context: the use of other forms of transport, such as intermodal transport (lorries on trains), and also short-sea shipping and other modes.
Budgetudvalget sætter på den baggrund spørgsmålstegn ved, om Kommissionens tjenestegrene har fået tilstrækkelig uddannelse og information til at undgå denne tendens.
Above all, it was felt to be wrong that there should be two classes of European citizen in the Alps, enjoying differing degrees of environmental protection.
EP’s retsudvalg: Nej til at ophæve Mogens Camres immunitet
Compensation and assistance to air passengers
Ordfører: Neil MacCORMICK (Verts/ALE, UK)
Giorgio LISI (EPP-ED, I)
Det ventes, at en betænkning af den skotske grønne Neil MacCORMICK fra EP's retsudvalg om ophævelse af Mogens Camres immunitet kommer på juli-dagsordenen.
Georgio LISI (EPP-ED, I) for the Transport Committee is tabling a draft legislative resolution on compensation to air passengers in the event of denied boarding.
I MacCormick-betænkningen nægter EP's retsdvalg at ophæve Mogens Camres immunitet .
The committee reinstates a number of key amendments adopted by Parliament at first reading:
Baggrunden for "Camre-sagen" er en tale, som Mogens Camre holdt på Dansk Folkepartis landsmøde i Vejle 15.-16. september 2001.
the text should give a definition of " cancelled flight ";
På Dansk Folkepartis landsmøde udtalte Mogens Camre bl.a.: - Alle lande i vesten er infiltreret af muslimer - og nogle af dem taler pænt til os, medens de venter på at blive tilstrækkeligt talrige til at slippe af med os, som de har gjort i Sudan, Indonesien, Nigeria og Balkan.
the definition of " final destination " given in the regulation currently in force should be retained;
På den baggrund havde den offentlige anklager i Danmark anmodet EP om at ophæve Camres parlamentariske immunitet, så han kunne blive retsforfulgt i Danmark for udtalelser, som latterliggjorde og udmygede muslimer.
- the check-in time should not have to be indicated in writing;
Retsudvalget begrunder sin afvisning af at ophæve Mogens Camres parlamentariske immunitet med, at Camre har fremsat udtalelserne på sit partis landsmøde i Danmark, og at artikel 9 i protokollen om privilegier og immuniteter, derfor ikke kan anvendes.
if no time is indicated by the air carrier, tour operator or an authorised travel agent, passengers should check in no later than 60 minutes before the published departure time, rather than 30 minutes as proposed;
I stedet skal man anvende artikel 10 a i protokollen, som fastslår, at under Europa-Parlamentets sessioner nyder dets medlemmer på deres egne staters territorium de immuniteter, som gives til medlemmer af deres parlament.
the regulation should not apply to air passengers on package tours as they are covered by a separate directive;
Onsdag den 2. juli kl. 9 vil det nye italienske EU-formandskab - i Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg - fremlægge arbejdsprogrammet for det italienske EU-formandskab i 2. halvår 2003.
Member States should ensure that any claim for compensation under the principle that the agency responsible should pay can be made against any third party.
Det er endnu uklart, om det bliver den italienske ministerpræsident Silvio BERLUSCONI eller udenrigsminister Franco FRATTANI , der præsenterer arbejdsprogrammet i Strasbourg.
The committee is also proposing new amendments stipulating that: - when flights are cancelled, with or without prior notice, and whether or not there are extraordinary circumstances, the operating air carrier should offer passengers assistance such as free meals, refreshments, hotel accommodation, etc.
Det italienske formandskab har 5 prioriteringer:
Moreover, passengers should be entitled to compensation unless they are informed of the cancellation and the re-routing assistance at least 5 days before the scheduled time of departure and unless the operating air carrier can prove that the cancellation is caused by extraordinary circumstances.

- Rådets fælles holdning med henblik på vedtagelse af Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning om rammerne for oprettelse af et fælles europæisk luftrum ("rammeforordningen")
Philip BRADBOURN (EPP-ED, West Midlands), in a draft legislative resolution for the Transport Committee, will be recommending that Parliament approve the Council's common position without amendment.
- Rådets fælles holdning med henblik på vedtagelse af Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning om udøvelse af luftfartstjeneste i det fælles europæiske luftrum ("luftfartstjenesteforordningen")
The aim is to support the fight against congestion in the road freight sector and its ambitious goal is to improve the environmental performance of the transport system as a whole.
- Rådets fælles holdning med henblik på vedtagelse af Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning om interoperabilitet i det europæiske lufttrafikstyringsnet ("interoperabilitetsforordningen")
Report on the common position of the Council with a view to adopting a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the coordination of procedures for the award of public supply contracts, public service contracts and public works contracts
EU-Kommissionen har fremlagt et forslag til rammeforordning om ”a single European sky” - dvs. et fælles europæisk luftrum.
As part of a joint debate on the public sector markets, Stefano ZAPPALA' (EPP-ED, I), for the Legal Affairs Committee, is calling for further changes to the Council’s common position on new public procurement rules.
Formålet er inden den 31. december 2004 at oprette et fælles europæisk luftrum med de samme principper og normer i alle EU-lande.
Although Council has accepted many of Parliament’s amendments from first reading, MEPs in the committee feel it has failed to address their concerns satisfactorily on a number of issues.
Forslaget har 2 opprioriterede mål:
Conciliation is thus likely to be needed.
at forbedre udnyttelsen af luftrummet og at mindske omkostningerne i forbindelse med styring af lufttrafikken og
MEPs in the committee who are in favour of these increases argue that this will help to ease the tensions faced now by local and regional authorities in dealing with the disproportionately high economic and administrative costs relating to European tendering, while still allowing for a genuine single EU market in public procurement.
markant at øge flysikkerheden.
The increases will also improve the chances of SMEs operating on a local or regional basis to obtain such contracts.
3 særforordninger Rammeforordningen suppleres af 3 andre forordninger om
The current system of relatively low thresholds results in a high number of public contracts being subject to European tendering, thus favouring large-scale undertakings, which can offer better prices.
udøvelse af luftfartstjeneste i det fælles europæiske luftrum,
On a related issue, MEPs say that Member States may stipulate that 10% of the public contract award budget should be reserved for SMEs.
organisation og udnyttelse af det fælles europæiske rum og
Another amendment calls for 12% and 20% increases respectively in the thresholds for contracts and connected service contracts directly subsidised by the contracting authorities by more than 50%, in the areas of civil engineering and building work for hospitals, sport, recreation and leisure facilities, school and university and administrative buildings.
interoperabilitet i det europæiske luftstyringsnet.
The committee also wants to exempt public supply contracts for schoolbooks for which a fixed final retail price has been laid down by law in the Member State where they are purchased.
EP’s 1. behandling Under Europa-Parlamentets 1. behandling i september 2002 fastlagde man nogle prioriteter:
MEPs are proposing several amendments to tighten up the provisions on subcontracting .
Etablering af et effektivt samarbejde med Eurocontrol, således at man undgår enhver form for sammenblanding eller overlapning,
They say that the rules on the economic, financial and social standards to be met by an economic operator must also apply in full to subcontracting firms.
I en betænkning af den italienske socialist Giovanni FAVA om rammeforordningen konstaterer EP’s transportudvalg, at Rådet i sin fælles holdning kun har medtaget få af EP’s ændringer fra 1. behandlingen, og man fremlægger derfor 18 ændringsforslag til 2. behandlingen.
On electronic tendering - one of the chief innovations of the new directive - the committee is proposing an amendment saying that enhanced data security requirements, e.g. on electronic signatures, must be safeguarded when tenders are submitted electronically.
Ordføreren fastslår, at den fælles holdning er kendetegnet ved en dybt konservativ holdning , der er i overensstemmelse med målet om at beskytte medlemsstaternes enerettigheder over deres respektive luftrum med udgangspunkt i deres egne forsvarspolitikker.
Other amendments seek to tighten up the provisions on the personal , economic and financial situation or the professional capability of the tenderer.
