Tragiske mord i Beograd Under debatten udtrykte de fleste talere håb om, at det t ragiske mord på Serbiens premierminister ikke fører til tilbageskridt i Serbien - og i det øvrige ex-Jugoslavien, som jo ellers er vej tilbage til "den europæiske familie" med forhåbninger om et kommende EU-medlemskab.
An amendment seeking to include this under the "golden rule" was lost by 217 to 233 with 15 abstentions
Operationen skal gennemføres med anvendelse af NATO's aktiver og under ledelse af den militære næstkommanderende i Europa - DSACEUR - og at EU's hovedkvarter for operationen skal være det øverste hovedkvarter for de allierede styrker i Europa (SHAPE).
Under new rule 110a, any legislative proposal (first reading) and any non-legislative motion for a resolution adopted in committee with fewer than one-tenth of the members of the committee voting against, shall be placed on the draft agenda of Parliament for vote without amendment.
EP skal underrettes I beslutningen beklager man, at EU-traktaten kun har indeholdt begrænsede bestemmelser for parlamentariske høringer om den europæiske sikkerheds- og forsvarspolitik, og man understreger, at Europa-Parlamentet - på baggrund af fremtidige traktatændringer - bør være ansvarligt for godkendelse af mandatet til og målsætningerne for enhver EU-kriseforvaltningsaktion finansieret af EU.
The item shall then be subject to a single vote unless, before the drawing up of the final draft agenda, political groups or individual Members who together constitute one-tenth of the Members of Parliament have requested in writing that the item be open to amendment, in which case the President shall fix a deadline for tabling amendments.
"Allied Harmony" EP's udenrigsudvalg støtter Rådets afgørelse om at overtage NATO-operationen "Allied Harmony" i Makedonien - som EU's første militære opgave nogensinde!
Report on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Directive 68/151/EEC, as regards disclosure requirements in respect of certain types of companies
Underudviklet demokrati Den græske udenrigsminister Georgios PAPANDREOU beklagede det tragiske mord på Serbiens premierminister Zoran Djindjic, som havde været en ven af Europa.
Parliament adopted a legislative resolution on disclosure requirements in respect of certain types of companies.
Målsætningen med EU's militære mission i Makedonien er at skabe stabilitet og fred på Balkan, et område hvor demokratiet er underudviklet, og mordet i dag viser, at vi har lang vej tilbage.

Improving statistics for measuring Gross National Product
Historisk skridt!
Astrid LULLING (EPP-ED, L)
Den britiske EU-udenrigskommissær Chris PATTEN udtrykte håb om, at mordet i Beograd i dag ikke fører til tilbageskridt i bestræbelserne på at tilslutte Serbien til "den europæiske familie".
Report on the proposal for a Council regulation on the harmonisation of Gross National Income at market prices
Patten understregede, at målet er at bidrage til sikkerheden i Makedonien, som var på randen af borgerkrig for 2 år siden.

Under ordførerrunden sagde den tyske kristelige demokrat Elmar BROK , at vi må påtage os ansvaret på Balkan og fremme demokratiet.
Diana WALLIS (ELDR, Yorkshire and the Humber)
Den hollandske socialist Jan WIERSMA mente, at den serbiske befolkning må være i chok efter dagens mord på premierministeren og håbede, at det ikke ville destabilisere Serbien og ex-Jugoslavein.
Report on the Commission Green Paper on alternative dispute resolution in civil and commercial law
Hun fastslog, at den voldelige kriminalitet underminerer staten i Makedonien, og hvem vil investere i et land, hvor der er lovløshed, og hvor man skyder hele tiden, spurgte Sarah Ludford.
Parliament adopted a non-binding resolution on alternative dispute settlement in civil and commercial law.
Den hollandske grønne Joost LAGENDIJK understregede, at det er nødvendigt med parlamentarisk kontrol med de fremtidige militære missioner, og han pegede på, at Serbien har brug for megen hjælp fra EU.

EU- forbrugerpolitik:Integration i alle EU-politikker!
ECB and enlargement - no to proposed changes
Ordførere: Phillip WHITEHEAD (PSE, UK), Béatrice PATRIE (PSE, F) og Marianne THYSSEN (PPE-DE, B)
Ingo FRIEDRICH (EPP-ED, D)
- Kommissionens meddelelse til Europa-Parlamentet, Rådet, Det Økonomiske og Sociale Udvalg og Regionsudvalget om en strategi for forbrugerpolitikken 2002-2006
Report on the proposal for a Council decision on an amendment to Article 10.2 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank
I en betænkning af det britiske labourmedlem Philip WHITEHEAD om Kommissionens meddelelse om "Strategi for forbrugerpolitikken 2002-2006" fastslår EP, at enkelte medlemslande - som fx.
MEPs today in a non-binding vote, rejected as too complex a proposal coming from the ECB to replace the current voting system on the Board with a " rotation " system allocating each National Central Bank governor to one of three groups, reflecting the size of the economy in the country concerned.
Man opfordrer derfor Kommissionen til - på højeste politiske niveau - at gøre integration af forbrugerinteresser i alle EU's politikker til en af sine vigtigste prioriteter.
For the future, however, MEPs want the Convention to come up with a solution based on an enlarged Executive Board comprising nine members and representative of the eurozone economy as a whole taking operational decisions such as changes in interest rates, with broader monetary policy strategy decisions to be taken by the Governing Council on the basis of a " double majority ", of " one person, one vote " and a second vote taking into account the state's population size, GDP and the strength of the financial sector.
Enklere lovgivning I en betænkning af den belgiske PPE'er Marianne THYSSEN om Kommissionens grønbog understreger EP, at formålet med eventuelle lovgivningsforslag om forbrugerbeskyttelse - på grundlag af grønbogen - er at få en enklere, mere forståelig og lettere gennemførlig lovgivning.

EU’s strukturfonde:Ligestilling for kvinder
Freezing Bin Laden's Assets
Ordfører: María Antonia AVILES PEREA (PPE-DE, E)
Jorge Salvador HERNANDEZ MOLLAR (EPP-ED, E)
EP vedtog en betænkning af den spanske PPE'er Maria Antonia AVILES PEREA om ligestilling for kvinder i EU's strukturfonde.
The freezing measures were imposed in conformity with Resolutions 1267, 1333 and 1390 of the UN Security Council.
Betænkningen blev vedtaget med 381 stemmer mod 40 - medens 18 undlod at stemme.
These exceptions should be granted on grounds of humanitarian need.
Transatlantiske flyvninger:Personoplysninger fra luftfartsselskaber
Regulation EC/881/2002 should, therefore, be amended accordingly.
EP vedtog en beslutning om videregivelse af personoplysninger fra luftfartsselskaberne til de amerikanske myndigheder i forbindelse med transatlantiske flyvninger, som årligt vedrører 10-11 millioner passagerer.
The European Parliament adopted by an overwhelming majority (414 votes in favour, 44 votes against and 11 abstentions) a resolution regretting the joint declaration by US and EU officials of 19 February which allows European airlines to transfer data on passengers flying to the US to US Customs personal.
Efter 11. september har USA strammet sin lovgivning, og de amerikanske myndigheder kan derfor kræve, at luftfartsselskaberne videregiver oplysninger om passagerer og kabinebesætning (passagerlisteoplysninger), som kan omfatte følsomme oplysninger.
The Commission had entered into talks with the US authorities on the transfer of airline passenger data, as European airlines faced severe US sanctions if they did not comply with measures laid down in US laws which had been adopted after the attacks of 11 September.
Problemer med databeskyttelse!
Parliament was not informed in due time of these talks.
EP beklager i denne forbindelse, at Kommissionen ikke har fremsat forslag til en løsning af en række problemer omkring databeskyttelse , som har været aktuelle de sidste 15 måneder.
MEPs also object that passengers are not informed of the fact that their personal data are being transferred and do not have the possibility to give their consent, as is provided for by the European directive on data protection.
Beslutningen blev vedtaget med 414 stemmer mod 44 - medens 11 MEP'er undlod at stemme.
In that case, Parliament would have to decide whether this data protection is indeed adequate.

In adopting a resolution on the ESDP operation in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Parliament welcomes the Council's decision to take over the NATO operation 'Allied Harmony' in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia as the EU's first-ever military mission.
ECB’s Styrelsesråd:Forkastelse af nye afstemningsregler?
The cost of the mission this year is €4.3 million paid for by the Member States.
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog en betænkning af den tyske CSU'er Ingo FRIEDRICH om afstemningssystemet i den Europæiske Centralbanks Styrelsesråd.
Parliament adopted an own initiative report on gender mainstreaming in the European Parliament.
EP forkaster ECB's forslag til nye afstemningsregler i Styrelsesrådet, og man opfordrer Rådet til at udarbejde et nyt forslag baseret på princippet "et medlem - en stemme".
Measures are intended to advance gender mainstreaming throughout the European Parliament, not only in political and legislative work but within administration as well.
Friedrich-betænkningen blev vedtaget med 450 stemmer mod 1 - medens 16 MEP'er undlod at stemme.
The European Parliament considers, as the European institution closest to citizens, should lead the way in this field.

Lukning af virksomheder efter modtagelse af økonomisk støtte fra EU
Harmonisation of consumer protection legislation should not result in a lowering of the level of protection
Procedure: Forslag til beslutning
Procedure : Consultation paper
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog torsdag den 13. marts 2003 en beslutning om lukning af virksomheder efter modtagelse af EU-støtte.
The Parliament supports the aim of harmonising legislation on trading practices.
EP opfordrer EU-Kommissionen til at afslå at yde støtte fra EU-programmer til virksomheder, der ikke respekterer disse forpligtelser, der misbruger investeringsstøtten, og som direkte eller indirekte subventionerer flytninger inden for EU .
The Parliament considers it appropriate, in the interests of establishing a single corpus of harmonised general rules, to incorporate into the framework directive certain provisions of existing directives, such as those covering misleading advertising.
EP opfordrer endvidere Kommissionen til at afslå at yde EU-støtte til virksomheder, der efter at have modtaget støtte i en medlemsstat flytter sine enheder til et andet land uden helt at opfylde de aftaler, de har indgået med den pågældende medlemsstat.
MEPs also emphasise the need to enable the consumer to make an informed choice and therefore stress the need to include in the fairness criteria the duty always to provide consumers with prior and detailed information on e.g. content and origin in the case of foodstuff and the presence of dangerous substances in consumer goods .
Europa-Parlamentet opfordrer Kommissionen til at udarbejde en adfærdskodeks for at undgå støtte til virksomhedsflytninger, hvor arbejdspladser flyttes fra et EU-land til et andet, og for at undgå flytning af virksomheder fra EU-lande til ansøgerlande med det ene formål at opnå EU-støtte og benytte sig af den billigere arbejdskraft i disse lande.
Report Prospects for legal protection of the consumer in the light of the Commission Green Paper on European Union Consumer Protection
Europa-Parlamentet vedtog en beslutning om den nigerianske kvinde Amina Lawals "stenings-dom" , som kommer for en appelret den 25. marts 2003.
In adopting a non-legislative report by Marianne THYSSEN (EPP-ED, B) Parliament welcomes the Commission Green Paper on the future of EU consumer protection but MEPs are emphasising the need for simpler, more understandable and better focused legislation that would be easier to enforce.
EP peger på, at såfremt Amina Lawal dømmes, så har hun ret til at appellere denne dom til en ikke-religiøs domstol i Nigeria.
Parliament in particular notes that, despite progress, internal market legislation as a whole is inconsistent and not transparent enough to enjoy consumer confidence.
Amina Lawal blev dømt til døden ved stening ved en sharia-domstol i Nigeria den 22. marts 2002 , fordi hun havde fået et barn uden for ægteskab.
However, they say that until the Commission has drawn up an impact study on maximum harmonisation, it should indicate, on a case-by-case basis, why it has opted for one or the other forms of harmonisation.
EP udtrykker kategorisk modstand mod dødsstraf, fordi den er den yderste krænkelse af retten til liv, som der gives garanti for i folkeretten.
As to the idea of establishing European codes of conduct, MEPs say these should be in addition to, and not a substitute for, legislation.
Man henstiller derfor til den nigerianske regering at tage ethvert skridt for at sikre, at alle henrettelser indstilles, og at brugen af dødsstraf bringes til ophør.
Lastly, Parliament repeats its call for a coordinated approach between the consumer protection framework directive and the regulation on sales promotions.

Ekstraordinær samling om Irak
Extraordinary Session on Iraq
Hans budskab til de europæiske ledere var, at denne situation ville medføre et arbejde for europæisk samhørighed og tilstedeværelse i internationale forhold.
The message to come from the European Parliament, he felt, was that in the months ahead, EU states should learn how to work together with a view to achieving greater coherence and balance.
Rådsformand, den græske udenrigsminister, PAPANDREOU , gav udtryk for at dette var et skuffelsens øjeblik, hvor diplomatiet ikke længere har kunnet fungere.
Georgios PAPANDREOU , the Greek Foreign Minister, on behalf of the Council, remarked, that understandably the Iraqi crisis had raised intense emotions.
Han talte derefter om den græske indsats hvis mål har været at benytte diplomatiske muligheder i forsøget på en afrustning af Irak og overholdelse af FNs resolutioner.
He characterised the latest developments as ” disappointing and sad ”.
Tidspunktet er, ifølge Papandreou, ikke inde til at placere et ansvar, men at drøfte hvad EU kan gøre ved denne og andre kriser.
However, differences should not be hidden, at it was understandable that differing points of view existed in a wide European family.
Man skal således koncentrere sig om humanitære problemer i Irak og nabolande og problemer i EU pga. flygtningestrømme.
He warned that military action would lead to a humanitarian crisis in Iraq, and he welcomed Kofi Annan’s statement that the international community should unite around the humanitarian assistance question.
Problemer med destabilitet i Tyrkiet i forhold til det kurdiske spørgsmål betyder, at EU fortsætter støtten til reformer i Tyrkiet.
Turning to international relations, he stated the impact of the war on Turkey would be significant and it was paramount that Turkey continued on its road of reform with the ultimate aim of joining the EU.
Han lagde vægt på, at det transatlantiske forhold mellem EU og USA nu gennemgår en alvorlig krise og at man med ærlighed skal behandle virkelige problemer som masseødelæggelsesvåben, miljøproblemer og fattigdom.
The war also gave added emphasis, he commented, to resolving the Israeli – Palestinian conflict and he welcomed the USA’s recent efforts in publishing a road-map for peace.
Han talte om, hvad EU kan bruge denne krise til- til hvilke overvejelser at institutionel ændring, om viljen til en fælles udenrigspolitik, således at EU kan tale med én stemme i internationalt regi.
He ended his speech by stating that the crisis in Iraq, could be regarded, as a starting point for the EU in building stronger institutions, the EU, he said should not give up on its efforts of a common foreign policy, rather it should re-double its efforts in achieving one.
Kommissær Chris PATTEN Derefter talte Kommissær Patten.
In his address, Commissioner Chris PATTEN , after saying that he did not think he could add much to his remarks last week in Strasbourg, expressed the hope that whatever the outcome of the war in Iraq it would be ” short and as bloodless as possible ”.
Han indledte med at betone, at EU og USA tjener såvel hinanden som verden som helhed bedst, hvis de er i stand til at samarbejde.
Continuing, to applause from the House, he contended that the world too would be a better place if Europe and America were seen to be working together.
Medlemslandene har været enige i en del, nemlig at masseødelæggelsesvåben udgør en uacceptabel trussel, at Irak skal afvæbnes, at FN skal være omdrejningspunktet og endelig, at magtanvendelse skal være den sidste udvej.
The challenge now, he said, was for the EU to pull together and redouble its efforts to work together and, on a positive note, he drew attention to ongoing work in the Balkans, Afghanistan and indeed enlargement.
Hvornår denne sidste udvej skal tages i anvendelse, har medlemslandene været meget uenige om, alt for offentligt.
He was also encouraged by the new US support for a roadmap in the Middle East, adding that this could not be held back by constant bloodshed.
Derefter sammenlignede Patten Irak med Balkan og Afghanistan og betonede vigtigheden af at fastholde indsatsen i disse lande for en demokratisk udvikling.
Looking to the future rebuilding of Iraq, he said the Commission had strengthened the ECHO humanitarian aid office in the region with the immediate authorisation of some €3 million in emergency aid.
Således også mht. Israel/Palæstina konflikten.
He then told the House of new initiatives to take account of neighbouring countries in the region such as Turkey, Jordan, Syria and indeed Iran.
Hans-Gert POETTERING (PPE-DE, D) .
For the EPP/ED Hans-Gert POETTERING (D) pointed out that everyone was affected by the new war situation despite differences of opinions.
Poettering betonede, at begivenhederne i nat er der kun en ansvarlig for, nemlig Saddam Hussein.
The European Parliament, he added, had always managed to find a common position between different political groups over fundamental issues and he reminded the House that whatever happens Saddam Hussein was responsible for ensuing events as a result of his failure to respect the will of the UN.
Derefter beklagede han, at det ikke har været muligt at nå en fælles holdning i FN, men siger videre, at hvis Præsident Bush eneste mål er at fjerne Hussein og genoprette kontrol i Iraq, så er PPE-gruppen neutral.
He then quoted the Pope who had emphasised the importance of looking to ” God and conscience ” when all international efforts had been exhausted.
Der er selvfølgelig meget ved USA at kritisere og EU er ikke enige med dem i alt.
It was important, he said, not to forget the role of the USA in freeing Europe from Nazi tyranny and later contributing to the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Men det er, sagde Poettering, netop derfor, at EU skal være stærk og enig og dermed kunne øve indflydelse.
At the same time, the lesson for Europe was that it was not right for global politics to be governed by one single power and that Europeans could achieve more influence over the US through uniting.
Der skal ikke være akser i EU, men fælles holdninger.
The EU, he reminded the House, was a force for peace and the rule of law and that national EU governments could achieve more by working together.
Enrique BARON CRESPO (PSE, E).
Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (E), for the PES group, questioned why the Iraqi people had to suffer twice – first from an evil dictator and then secondly from an unjust war.
Crespo understregede, at hans gruppes holdning er, at krigen er en uretfærdig krig, den er ensidig og moralsk tvivlsom.
He called on the Heads of State and Government at today’s Spring European Council to increase their efforts to achieve a single European position.
"Der er ingen, der betvivler, at Hussein er en forbryder og at det skal have konsekvenser, men vi må spørge, hvorfor splittelsen i EU er så stor.
All the peoples of Europe, he remarked, regarded Saddam Hussein as a dangerous war criminal.
Dette må vi gøre fordi EUs interesser bedst beskyttes multilateralt."
However, multilateral institutions as Robin Cook had pointed out in the House of Commons, better served the international community, than unilateral action.
"Vi i Den Europæiske Union er loyale, men ikke lakajer overfor deres venner, som altså også tæller USA" slog formanden for den socialistiske gruppe fast.
The market for rebuilding Iraq, he said, had already been agreed, with worryingly American companies at the top of the list.
