Efter folkeafstemningen udtaler den irske formand for Europa-Parlamentet Pat COX: - "Det irske folk har udtalt sig overvældende positivt.
For the UEN group, Charles PASQUA (F) said that was a challenge for the European Central Bank and called for the ECB to reduce interest rates immediately.
Resultatet viser, at den eneste af EU's befolkninger, der blev hørt, nu - efter en tænkepause - har givet det klarest mulige signal til, at dette historiske skridt for Europa ikke kan forsinkes eller udskydes yderligere.
He said there was no popular support for a single macro-economic policy for the whole of the EU, and said this undermined the argument of federalists stating that strong nation-states were the basis for further economic growth.
Det er det budskab, jeg vil tage med fra Irland og Europa-Parlamentet til næste uges møde i det Europæiske Råd i Bruxelles".
For the EDD group, Hans BLOKLAND (NL) group said that he was amazed at President Prodi's remarks and called them "incomprehensible".
Appel til alle danske MEP'er
However, he said that rules agreed 5 years ago might well have to be modernised.
Den 14. oktober flyttede min gode og venlige medredaktør Jens Jensen til Budapest for at opstarte en EP-informationsantenne i den ungarske hovedstad.
The Economic and Monetary Committee Chairman, Christa RANDZIO-PLATH (PES, D), put on record her support for a flexible application of the rules which would allow the "automatic stabilisers" to come into play in an economic downturn.
For at sikre den bedst mulige dækning af danske MEP'ers indlæg under debatten i Europa-Parlamentet appellerer jeg hermed til alle danske MEP'er om at sende mig jeres taler på min e -mail.
Karl von WOGAU (EPP-ED, D) on the other hand, drew attention to the annual interest charge of some €230bn, or more than twice the total of the EU's annual budget needed to service the outstanding debt of the Member States.
Ved mødets start mandag den 21. oktober kl. 17 holdt Europa-Parlamentet 1 minuts stilhed for de over 200 døde og over 250 sårede ved terrorbomben på diskoteket i Bali.
Replying to the debate, the Commission President welcomed the cross section of views expressed on the floor of the House.
Den nuværende EU-ombudsmand finnen Jacob SÖDERMAN træder tilbage med udgangen af marts 2003, og man skal derfor finde en ny ombudsmand.
Furthermore, it should be recognised that the European Central Bank was playing its part and doing its job in taking decisions on interest rates.
EP-formand Pat COX oplyste, at han havde modtaget 18 ansøgninger til posten som ny EU-ombudsmand, og at han havde sendt disse 18 ansøgninger videre til EP's udvalg for andragender.
His intention, he explained, was to defuse possible tensions between Member State governments and avoid possible future problems.
Boykot af Miss World-konkurrencen i Nigeria?
Minute silence for victims of Bali and Helsinki bombings
Helle THORNING-SCHMIDT fra socialdemokratiet oplyste, at vinderen af Miss Danmark-konkurrencen havde besluttet ikke at tage til Nigeria og deltage i Miss World-konkurrencen.
MEPs held one-minute silence in respect of the victims of the bombings in Bali and Helsinki.
Renzo IMBENI - der sad i formandsstolen - svarede, at hvad han havde sagt på en pressekonference ikke havde været på EP's vegne , men at han mente, at det var en fejl at ville boykotte konkurrencen i Nigeria.
President COX also commented on the decisive "yes" in the second Irish referendum on the Nice Treaty, stating that the yes should send a message to European leaders that no more roadblocks should be placed on the road to enlargement.

EU-regler for lægemidler: Neutral og objektiv information, tak!
Health and medicines
Ordførere: Rosemarie MÜLLER (PSE, D) og Françoise GROSSETÊTE (PPE-DE, F)
Rosemarie MÜLLER (PES, D)
- Forslag til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv om ændring af direktiv 2001/83/EF om oprettelse af en fællesskabskodeks for humanmedicinske lægemidler
1.Report on the proposal for a European Parliament and Council directive amending Directive 2001/83/EC on the Community code relating to medicinal products for human use
Under debatten understregede flere talere, at det er EP's mission at varetage borgernes og forbrugernes interesser på dette område, og at patienten altid bør stå i centrum for EU's lægemiddellovgivning .
The three proposals concern strengthening the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products, (EAEMP), this proposal regulates the structures and working methods of the EAEMP and the authorisation procedure for medicinal products.
Mange talere lagde endvidere vægt på, at forbrugerne får en neutral og objektiv information om lægemidler, og at denne information derfor ikke må være styret af lægemiddelproducenterne, som har interesse i et stort medicinforbrug.
The other two proposals concern EU codes relating to medicinal products for human use and veterinary medicinal products.
Godkendelse af lægemidler Debatten foregik på baggrund af 3 betænkninger om lægemidler fra EP's miljøudvalg.
Commissioner Liikanen pointed out that these proposals would have major benefits for SMEs as the introduction of a centralised authorisation system would allow rapid authorisation of new medicinal products into the market.
Den ene betænkning af den tyske socialdemokrat Rosemarie MÜLLER drejer sig om et forslag fra EU-Kommissionen om strukturerne og arbejdet i EU's Agentur for Lægemiddelvurdering - som blev oprettet i 1995 - samt procedurerne for godkendelse af lægemidler .
Commissioner Liikanen stated that one of the most important parts of this proposal was that it provides for data exclusivity for periods of 10 years or 10 years plus one year if, within the first eight years of the ten-year period, a new indication of significant clinical use is demonstrated.
Forslaget til forordning udgør en del af pakken, som skal reformere EU's lægemiddellovgivning
He was satisfied that Rosemarie MÜLLER (PES, D) supported that proposal, since it would provide an incentive for research and ensure data exclusivity periods of equal duration throughout the EU.
EU-kodeks for lægemidler I en enden betænkning af den franske PPE'er Francoise GROSSETÊTE er EP's miljøudvalg kraftigt imod Kommissionens forslag om at tillade lægemiddelindustrien at informere om visse lægemidler.
The EU, according to Commissioner Likkanen, is losing ground in comparison to the US in relation to innovative medicines and change was needed to reverse this trend.
Man understreger, at lægemiddelindustrien er ude af stand til at give upartisk og neutral information om sine egne produkter , hvorfor information om disse lægemidler kun bør komme fra uafhængige kilder.
On the question of right of patients to access information on drugs, Commissioner Liikanen promised that the EU would not follow the US model, where direct advertising to citizens via the Internet is widespread, but stated the proposal would assure the dissemination of information on adverse reactions to medicinal products authorised in the EU, by means of a database permanently accessible to all Member States.
Grossetête-betænkningen er EP's svar på EU-Kommissionens direktivforslag om oprettelse af en EU-kodeks for humanmedicinske lægemidler .
He said any information in this database should be independently validated as a lot of information on drugs was already available on the Internet particularly in English.
Den tredje betænkning er også af Grossetête, og den drejer sig om et forslag fra Kommissionen om en EU-kodeks for veterinærlægemidler.
This, he said, discriminated against non-English speaking citizens and did not guarantee independent information.
3 formål med pakken Den finske EU-kommissær Erkki LIIKANEN understregede, at der var 3 formål med pakken, nemlig at
Overall, he remarked, a balance had to be struck between protecting consumers' health and innovation in medicinal products.
garantere et højt sundhedsniveau for alle EU-borgere,
As the EU was losing market-share in this field, the new proposals were timely and appropriate.
sikre, at forbrugerne har nye, sikre og effektive lægemidler til rådighed og
It was important, she emphasised, to provide neutral information guaranteeing public access to new developments and, in particular, the results of clinical trials and any possible side effects.
forberede udvidelsen med nye medlemslande.
In this sense, there was a need for more scientific expertise.
Liikanen fastslog, at EU-Lægemiddelagenturets rolle bør styrkes, og at alle patienter bør sikres lige adgang til de samme lægemidler i hele Europa.
European industry should be given the necessary regulatory environment to enable it to withstand competition from the USA and Asian countries.
Han sluttede med at understrege, at vi står over for en stor udfordring.
On generics, the issue is the time period, when a generic product can be allowed on to the market.
Patienter i centrum Rosemarie Müller sagde, at patienterne bør stå i centrum for EU-lovgivningen, og at nye produkter skal hurtigt ud til patienterne.
As to the question of providing information about pharmaceutical products, she drew a distinction between this and direct advertising, which she opposed.
Francoise Grossetête mente, at de 800 ændringsforslag i miljøudvalget var alt for mange, og at de forringede kvaliteten i udvalgets arbejde.
One particular issue where the House is divided is whether or not to allow, for an experimental period, specific information on new drugs to treat AIDS, asthma and diabetes.
Overforbrug af medicin?
Another issue is veterinary medicine.
Under ordførerrunden understregede den græske PPE'er Antonios TRAKATELLIS , at han gik ind for en centraliseret godkendelsesprocedure for lægemidler - dog med visse muligheder for nationale regler.
The Commission is proposing that veterinary drugs designed to treat one particular ailment or condition can be used to treat other illnesses, where a specific drug does not exist.
Det vigtigste er og bliver lægemidlernes kvalitet og sikkerhed.
The accent here should be on guaranteeing safety, Mrs Grossetête said.
Den franske socialist Anne FERREIRA fastslog, at der er behov for uafhængige informationer om lægemidler fra uafhængige kilder, så vi ikke får et overforbrug af medicin.
It was then the turn of Mel READ (PES, East Midlands), speaking for the Industry Committee, to emphasise the need to strike a balance between the needs of industry and producing affordable new drugs.
Ferreira var glad for Kommissionens forslag, men sundhedsvæsenet bør ikke begrænses til denne lovgivning.
The legislation should guarantee this and, at the same time, it was important to take account of an ageing population becoming more dependent on new drugs that would eventually be financed through various social security systems across Europe.
Maaten fastslog, at vi har et forstenet europæisk marked for lægemidler, og at det er nødvendigt med mere konkurrence i Europa.
In this sense the pilot project to disseminate data relating to asthma, AIDS and diabetes would be an important first step, he said.
Derfor bør de, der skal godkende lægemidler, ikke have nogen interesser i den farmaceutiske industri.
Hans BLOKLAND NL) for the EDD group, was concerned that a more centralised authorisation system for medicinal products would lead to a loss of expertise at national level, and was concerned about the protection of human life.
Der bør være en konstant overvågning af markedsførte lægemidler, sluttede González Álvarez.
Chris DAVIES (ELDR, North West) was sceptical about the benefit of some medicinal products as compared to some banned recreational drugs.
Heste til sport eller spisebrug?
She was in favour of flexibility in relation to authorisation - allowing authorisation by both a central authority and/or a national authority.
Den irske UEN'er James FITZSIMONS mente, at EP's medbestemmelse er meget vigtigt på lægemiddelområdet, som jo berører borgerne i deres dagligdag.
As to generics, it was necessary to get the balance right between the period of protection for the original product and thus ensuring a thriving European pharmaceutical industry and, at the same time, providing generic medicines at a reasonable price for consumers.
Han beklagede, at forslagene ikke tager højde for forskellighederne i de enkelte medlemslande, og erindrede i denne forbindelse om, at i Irland avler man heste til sport - og ikke til spisebrug.
This should also apply to veterinary medicines and this was not the case at present, for example, in Ireland, she said.
EU-charteret om borgernes grundrettigheder: Indskrives i ny "EU-grundtraktat"?
He did emphasise, however, that it was necessary to create the right environment for research into new products by European pharmaceutical manufacturers.
Ordfører: Andrew DUFF (ELDR, UK)
That was why it was the Commission's aim to set up a neutral information system, backed up by scientific advice.
Virkningen af Den Europæiske Unions charter om grundlæggende rettigheder og dets fremtidige status
On the legal status of prescription versus "over the counter" products, he emphasised that this would remain under the mutual recognition practice, although he did not want this to lead to an over restrictive approach.
Procedure: Den ikke-lovgivningsmæssige procedure
Ferenc Mádl President of Hungary address to the House
EU-charteret om borgernes grundrettigheder bør indskrives i den nye "EU-grundtraktat", som EU-Konventet om Europas fremtid er ved at udarbejde.
He stressed that the Parliament was in favour of Hungary joining the EU in 2004 and looked forward to Hungarian people voting for Hungarian Members of the European Parliament in the Summer of 2004.
Det fastslår EP's forfatningsudvalg i en betænkning af den britiske liberale Andrew DUFF .
The first half of President MÁDL' s speech was dedicated to the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.
EP-debatten foregik mandag den 21. oktober i Strasbourg, og under debatten var der 3 danske indlæg.
The revolution, he said, grew into a freedom fight for the independence and sovereignty of Hungary.
Mere fremadorienteret end den danske grundlov!
As a result of the uprising, the political regime sustained by foreign military power collapsed.
Lone DYBKJÆR fra det Radikale Venstre understregede, at hun var tilhænger af charteret, og at hun altid har syntes, at det er et godt charter.
The Hungarian uprising and the Hungarian spirit of freedom, he said, proved it would never surrender and never give in to the might of totalitarism.
Men hun fastslog, at det er vigtigt, at vi politikere gør os klart, at vi hele tiden befinder os i spændingsfeltet mellem vision og virkelighed.
The Hungarian uprising in 1956 was a turning point in the lives of a number of important European politicians.
Lone Dybkjær fastslog, at EU-charteret om borgernes grundrettigheder er mere fremadorienteret og bedre end den danske grundlov, hvis man kun læser grundlovsteksten og ikke har hele den historiske baggrund.
Thousands of Hungarians fled to the West and President Mádl paid tribute to Western Europeans who had risked their lives by assisting the martyrs of the Hungarian uprising.
På den anden side syntes hun også, at charteret er ved at få lidt karakter af en "hellig ko" , og at der er nogle artikler, der er mere betydningsfulde end andre.
The second half of President Mádl's speech focused on the present challenges facing the EU and Hungary.
Svaret er: Fordi EU som sådan ikke har tilsluttet sig konventionen.
The uniting of Europe would make Europe much stronger.
Når EU tilslutter sig konventionen vil sammenstød mellem Menneskerettighedsdomstolen og EF-Domstolen være uundgåelige .
President Mádl was in no doubt that the countries of Central and Eastern Europe would be admitted to the EU.
Duff-betænkningens udsagn om det gnidningsfri samvirke er simpel juridisk nonsens.
He recalled that popular support for Hungary's accession to the EU is very high, surveys and polls anticipate a 70-80% yes vote in a referendum to be held on Hungarian membership of the EU.
Ole Krarup mente, at den afgørende del af charter-dagsordenen drejer sig om at fremme EU's permanente ekspansion.
He remarked that this support for accession was the result of the conviction that Hungary wishes to be an equal member in the community of European nations.
Charteret er slet og ret en byggesten til EU's forbundsstat, og til en forbundsstat hører både borgerskab og forfatning.
He underlined the necessity for equality between all Member States and went further " to be more specific, may I say that no policy can prevail for long, if it differentiates between the old and the new members for example in agriculture, direct payments and the allocation of financial resources must be equal.
Alt dette indebærer en lemlæstelse af og uhyrlige indgreb i de nationale retsforhold, fastslog Krarup.
We must create the appropriate conditions under which Hungarian citizens can feel the advantages of membership from the very first moment on and will see improved chances to catch up with the present Member States ."
Borgernes rettigheder i forhold til EU Helle THORNING-SCHMIDT fra Socialdemokratiet mente, at det for mange lande vil være den nemmeste løsning at indføje charteret ved en henvisning i EU-traktatens artikel 6 , og det vil formentlig også være den nemmeste løsning for Danmark.
Turning to the number of seats that Hungary is entitled to in the European Parliament, President Mádl stated that Hungary should have 22 seats and not 20 as indicated by the Treaty of Nice, the principle of proportional representation would be infringed, he said, if Hungary had less than 22 seats.
Vi bør dog tænke større og længere.
President Mádl recognised Hungary's special responsibility to improve the underprivileged social conditions of the Roma population.
For hvis formålet er, at borgerne skal kunne genkende sig selv i traktaten, skal de have mulighed for at slå op i traktaten og direkte læse, hvilke rettigheder, de har i forhold til EU.
In the past few years, he recalled, Hungarian governments have been taking important steps towards the improvement of the institutional, financial and social conditions of the Roma people; but he recognised that more had to be done.
EU bør derfor have status som juridisk person og tilslutte sig menneskerettighedskonventionen.
He recognised that the EU, following the results of the Convention on the Future of Europe, should have a legal personality.
Samtidig skal vi være åbne over for visse medlemsstaters bekymringer omkring den nationale identitet .
He ended his speech by stressing the need for minority rights in a united Europe to be respected.
På den måde vil det lykkes at kombinere den store vision med virkeligheden, sluttede Helle Thorning-Schmidt.
He criticised the Charter of Fundamental Rights for not defining the collective rights of minorities and called for a new appropriate instrument for their protection.
Minimumsstandarder:Tredjelandsborgere og statsløse som flygtninge
Overall he saw Europe as a cultural community above all that grew out of the past.
EU-direktivet er det første forsøg på at opstille et sæt klare kriterier, der omfatter både beskyttelse i henhold til flygtningekonventionen og andre former for beskyttelse i henhold til internationale menneskerettigheder.
On balance, however, he felt the main need was to extend the codecision procedure and an equal say for Parliament over the whole of the budget i.e. to include the CAP and the European Development Fund.
Ole B. Sørensen understregede, at det er vigtigt med fælles minimumsstandarder for flygtninge, og at alle medlemsstater har en fælles definition af., hvad en flygtning er.
Implementation of Structural Funds expenditure was another issue to be resolved, as was providing the finance for restructuring the Spanish and Portuguese fishing fleets.
Ole B. Sørensen fastslog, at der hvert år kommer et stort antal grundløse asylansøgere ind i EU.
Indeed, he felt there was a need for Europe's citizens to be better informed about EU policies.
De belaster hele systemet og lægger beslag på de ressourcer, som kunne være anvendt på dem, som har et reelt behov.
Other policy priorities to be financed include cash for the Bosnian police force and preparations for enlargement.
Ulovlig indvandring og menneskesmugling skal bekæmpes, men reelle flygtninge skal hjælpes.
Speaking on behalf of the Commission, Budget Commissioner Michaele SCHREYER too noted that in effect the budget for next year would be the last one for an EU of 15 Member States.
Det er denne balance vi skal stræbe efter, understregede Ole B. Sørensen.
On the regional funds, she warned MEPs of the need to provide sufficient staff to ensure the distribution of financing here.
Ungarns præsident Ferenc Mádl i EP:Europa er et kulturelt fællesskab!
Concluding, she pointed out that the EU's budget for 2003 would only amount to 1.05% of GDP and appealed to the budgetary authority to provide sufficient funds in the years ahead to back the enlargement process.
- For os rækker EU-medlemskabet videre end blot til politisk, økonomisk, finansiel og administrativ integration.
For the EPP/ED, James ELLES (South East) too recognised the importance of enlargement, before emphasising the need for transparency in the Council decision making process.
Vi ønsker at blive et medlemsland i et fællesskab, der bygger på fælles europæiske værdier, værdier der ligger til grund for vor civilisation igennem tusinder af år.
An extra effort would be needed to deal with the backlog of programmes, and he underlined the need for value for money as far as expenditure on information policy was concerned.
Men vi må kæmpe for dem hver eneste dag .
On foreign policy expenditure too there was a need for detailed reporting and improved accountability to Parliament.
Det sagde den ungarske præsident Ferenc Mádl under sin tale i Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg tirsdag den 22. oktober 2002.
He emphasised the need for value for money and a reduction in bureaucratic procedures in the management of regional policy expenditure.
70-80 % folkelig opbakning!
He said that his most serious concern was the €107bn of outstanding payments which amounted to more than the EU's annual budget.
Ferenc Mádl fastslog, at mennesket og alle menneskers værdighed bør stå i centrum for de europæiske værdier.
This, he stated, was largely due to inefficient absorption and the lack of matched funding from Member States.
Et fælles Europa har samme ansvar for alle Europas borgere.
However, in first reading, Parliament could send certain political signals such as the reduction in export subsidies for the export of live animals.
Også for os ungarere.
She therefore called for this money to be put in the reserve.
Han understregede, at der er meget stor folkelig opbakning bag Ungarns kommende medlemskab af EU, idet meningsmålinger viser at 70-80 % af vælgerne vil stemme "ja" .
For the UEN group, Francesco TURCHI (I) called for a more political budget and called on the Parliament to stretch the rules to the limit by asking for new legal bases for projects, he gave the example of the European Solidarity Fund, where the Council had successfully negotiated a new legal basis.
Den ungarske præsident fremhævede, at det er vigtigt for Ungarn at blive medlem af EU - men det skal ske under fair betingelser.
Another concern for Mr Dam was that of fisherman, he called for greater finance for those who have lost their jobs in this sector.
Ingen politik er bæredygtig, hvis den gør forskel på gamle og nye medlemslande fx. på landbrugsområdet omkring direkte indkomsttøtte.
Terry WYNN (PES, North West) the chair of the Budgets Committee commented that the language and terminology used in budget debates was often incomprehensible.
Endvidere er Ungarn berettiget til 22 - og ikke 20 - medlemmer af Europa-Parlamente t efter tiltrædelsen.
He called for a simplification of the budget procedure, reducing it to just one single reading.
Ellers vil princippet om proportional repræsentation blive krænket.
He complimented the Danish Presidency for its co-operation and hoped future Presidencies would follow their lead.
