Mistillid til Barroso Martin SCHULZ (PSE, DE) sagde, at PSE-gruppen stadig ikke havde fået svar på de væsentlige spørgsmål, man havde stillet til Barroso.
Turning to Mr Barroso, he told him he would receive the overwhelming support of the Liberals and Democrats.
Kritik af "studehandel" Graham WATSON (ALDE, UK) indledte sit indlæg med at kritisere Pöttering for at have stolet på, at PSE-gruppen ville stemme for Barroso.
They supported an ambitious and independent Commission, and Mr Barroso would have their clear and constructive support in building the Europe that they wanted.
Hermed fortsatte Watson sin kritik af den "studehandel", han påstår har fundet sted mellem de to største politiske grupper i EP.
Daniel Marc COHN-BENDIT (FR) for the Greens/EFA group stated that he and Mr Barroso might have shared some common beliefs some 30 years ago.
Watson tilkendegav, at Barroso vil få et "ja fra et stort flertal af ALDE-gruppen", fordi han har vist imødekommenhed, besvaret spørgsmålene tilfredsstillende og kan garantere at EU bliver en "ægte politisk union".
In the European Parliament, he remarked, the left was suffering from " an ideological division " and the right " from moralism, authoritarianism and neo liberalism ".
En stemme imod den liberale verden Daniel COHN-BENDIT (Verts/ALE, DE) lagde sig op ad Schulz i kritikken af Barroso.
Mr Barroso's centrist position, he said, was very " opportunistic ".
Cohn-Bendit sagde, at den grønne gruppe ikke kan støtte Barroso, fordi han ikke på noget tidspunkt har kunnet givet indrømmelser og f.eks. sået tvivl om sin støtte til Irak-krigen.
He said the issue was not whether he would be a good Commission President, but rather that Mr Barroso had not shown any doubt over his position on Iraq or on his domestic policies.
Ifølge Wurtz er det "venstrefløjen, der stemmer imod den liberale verden".
His group would be voting " overwhelmingly against" despite Mr Barroso being an improvement on Romano Prodi.
Farage sagde endvidere, at hans gruppe ikke kan støtte en Kommissionsformand, der går ind for en europæisk forfatning - en forfatning Farage kaldte "nationernes fængsel".
Now, he said, was the time to rise up above ideology and make a responsible decision.
Brian CROWLEY (UEN, IE) sagde, at UEN-gruppen fuldt ud vil støtte Barroso, da de 25 regeringsledere enstemmigt har peget på ham og EU har brug for en ærlig mægler.
Bruno GOLLNISCH (FR) a non-attached Member, wondered whether Mr Barroso was the right candidate at the right time.
Den franske løsgænger Bruno GOLLNISCH afsluttede runden med at sige, at han ikke kunne stemme for Barroso.
In any case, he said, he would not be voting for him today, making allusion to Mr Barroso's position on Turkey.

Borrell anmodede i sidste uge EU's 25 stats- og regeringsledere om simultant at afholde et minuts stilhed på samtlige skoler i EU - en anmodning flere regeringer har imødekommet.
He had asked the EU's 25 Heads of Government to encourage schools in

Borrell afsluttede sit indlæg med at "appellere stærkt" til de personer, der tilbageholder to unge, italienske humanitære hjælpearbejdere i Irak samt til de, der har taget to franske journalister som gidsler.

Herunder understregede Borrell, at det er uacceptabelt at tage gidsler, der forsøger at udføre et arbejde - henholdsvis for at hjælpe irakiske børn og informere verden om situationen i Irak.

Frits Bolkesteins "Leyden-tale":Tyrkiet i EU og "islamisering" af Europa!
of silence was a symbolic response to show respect to the families of
Tirsdag den 7. september 2004 holdt den hollandske EU-kommissær Frits BOLKESTEIN en tale på Leyden-universitetet i Holland, hvor han brugte barske ord om et evt. tyrkisk EU-medlemskab og "islamisering" af Europa .
victims of attacks wherever they occurred.
Disse udtalelser står i skarp kontrast til EU-udvidelseskommissær Günter VERHEUGEN S mere positive udtalelser om tyrkisk EU-medlemskab.
He also made an appeal to the kidnappers of the two Italian aid workers and the two French journalists abducted and held in Iraq to set them free.
Verheugen var på besøg i Tyrkiet i starten af september, og han sagde, at Kommissionens Tyrkiet-rapport, som offentliggøres den 6. oktober vil være "objektiv, komplet og fair", og at den vil tage højde for de imponerende fremskridt Tyrkiet har gjort.
Finally, he expressed his deep regret at the news of the death of the Orthodox Christian Patriarch Petros VII of Alexandria, who was killed along with 16 others when a helicopter crashed into the sea off the northern Greek coast on Saturday 11 September.
"Islamisering" af Europa?
One minute interventions
"Den nuværende tendens kan kun føre til en konklusion: USA vil forblive den eneste supermagt, Kina bliver en økonomisk magt, og Europa bliver islamiseret", sagde Frits Bolkestein.
As usual, the session began with short interventions from MEPs on a
"Enhver, der ønsker at acceptere Tyrkiet i EU, må også acceptere Ukraine og Belarus (Hviderusland).
Struan STEVENSON (EPP-ED, UK) raised the case of a 16 year old girl who was publicly hanged in Iran for alleged offences against chastity.
Bolkestein mener, at EU har brug for "stødpudezoner" både over for Rusland og over for Syrien, Iran og Irak.
Diana WALLIS (ALDE, UK) said that farmers in her constituency had suffered the worst weather and worst harvests for 40 years.
Luxembourgs EU-formandskab:Prioriteter i 1. halvår 2005
She called on the Commission to make appropriate support available in good time on a regional basis.
Holland har EU-formandskabet til udgangen af 2004, og den 1. januar 2005 tager Luxembourg over.
Yorkshire farmers were not prone to whinging, she said.
Søndag den 5. september 2004 sagde Luxembourgs premier- og finansminister Jean-Claude JUNCKER i Bruxelles, at Luxembourg vil "arve" nogle meget vigtige og følsomme sager fra det hollandske EU-formandskab, nemlig
Rather, this was a modest and reasonable request.
Integration af Tyrkiet i EU:45 mia. euro de første 3 år?
Many of her London constituents had relatives in the region who had suffered.
Den Bruxelles-baserede tænketank "Friends of Europe" skønner, at Tyrkiets integration i EU vil koste 15 mia. euro årligt i de første 3 år - altså 45 mia. euro .
She also drew attention to what she saw as the likely link between such disasters and the problem of climate change.
EU-Kommissionen flytter nu tilbage til den historiske Berlaymont-bygning ved Rond Point Schuman i Bruxelles.
Roger HELMER (EPP-ED, UK) strongly criticised the UK government's plans to ban fox hunting with dogs.
2.000 kommissionsansatte flytter ind i Berlaymont , medens de øvrige 16.000-17.000 ansatte forsat må arbejde andre steder i Bruxelles.
He also said the use of the Parliament Act to achieve this was an abuse of the process.
Bortfjernelsen af asbest fra Berlaymont har kostet den belgiske stat 460 mio. euro .
It meant that none of those ultimately responsible for the violence would now be punished.
Kommissionen forlod Berlaymont i 1991, og den skulle oprindeligt have været færdig i 1998.
Jim ALLISTER (NA, UK) spoke to condemn the suggestion from Romano PRODI that EU Member States' athletes might carry the EU flag at the next Olympics.
Den belgiske senator Alain Destexhe, der går ind for en undersøgelse af ombygningen af Berlaymont, mener, at ombygningen og genhusningen af de EU-ansatte samt bøder har kostet de belgiske og europæiske skatteydere 1,5 mia. euro .
This was, he said, a step too far and should be resisted by all Member States.

Tirsdag den 14. september 2004 holdt den nye spanske EP-formand Josep BORRELL sin programtale i Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg.
Parliament's new President, Josep BORRELL (PES, ES) opened his formal address to the House by thanking his fellow MEPs for the faith that they had shown in him in electing him President for the next two and a half years.
Borrell sagde, at han var stolt af at være medlem af Europa-Parlamentet, som er et symbol på demokrati og fred , et debatforum med ansvarsbevidsthed.
President Borrell stated that he was proud to be the President of the largest supranational Parliament in the world which legislates in areas that affect citizens' daily lives.
Ministerrådet , som repræsenterer staterne i EU.
He recalled that the European Parliament represented one of the two forms of democratic legitimacy (the other being the Member States) within the Union.
I EP er der 25 forskellige nationale parlamentariske traditioner samlet, og efter udvidelsen har vi 20 officielle sprog.
The European Parliament, he said, worked on the basis of 25 different national parliamentary traditions in 20 different languages.
Terror Josep Borrell fordømte de mange terrorangreb, som har fundet sted i sommer, og han erindrede om, at det var ham, der havde opfordret til et minuts stilhed for at mindes ofrene på Beslan-skolen i Nordossetien.
However, President Borrell pointed out that not all of Europe's linguistic diversity was represented within the European Parliament.
Enhver form for terror er i modstrid med de værdier EU og EP står for, fastslog Borrell.
Turning to the recent tragic acts of terrorism, he stated that he had called on all the Member States to observe one minute of silence in schools.
MEP'ernes statut Den nye spanske EP-formand håbede, at EP snart ville blive udvidet også med Rumænien og Bulgarien, men at den fortsatte udvidelse af Europa-Parlamentet med flere medlemmer ikke må føre til et fald i effektiviteten.
All acts of terrorism should be condemned and words were not enough, there was no excuse or justification for these tragic acts.
Vedtagelse af en vedtægt/statut for MEP'erne skal derfor prioriteres højt, ligesom man skal styrke sprogordningen.
Indiscriminate force in reaction to these acts was not the answer.
Forfatningstraktaten Den 29.oktober 2004 skal forfatningstraktaten undertegnes i Rom, og undertegnelsen efterfølges af 25 ratificeringer i de 25 EU-medlemslande, hvoraf en lang række lande afholder folkeafstemninger.
The world would have to grasp the underlying causes and find solutions to the hostilities around the world including Chechnya, Iraq and Palestine.
Spanien holder sin folkeafstemning om forfatningstraktaten i slutningen af februar 2005.
Turning to globalisation, President Borrell said that he understood the fear that jobs would be transferred outside of the EU as labour costs were cheaper in some parts of the world.
Borrell lagde vægt på, at borgerne informeres om forfatningstraktaten, og at EP på en åben og demokratisk må skal stå til tjeneste for borgerne.
On the Members' Statute, President Borrell stated that the Parliament would have to keep an open mind but also respect the work that had been achieved up until now.
Tyrkiet Tyrkiet står øverst på EU-dagsordenen i den kommende tid, og den tyrkiske premierminister Erdogan aflægger besøg i et af EP's udvalg i slutningen af september, dvs. før Kommissionens Tyrkiet-rapport, som Kommissionen offentliggør den 6. oktober.
As to the internal workings of the Parliament, he recalled the Code of Conduct on multi-lingualism which had been adopted earlier this year and recognised regretfully that, due to lack of resources, not all of the official languages of the Union could yet be fully used.
I denne forbindelse understregede Borrell, at EU's forhold til den muslimske verden er en af de udfordringer EU står over for.
As to those MEPs who had chosen to speak in a non-official language, President Borrell recalled that it would take a unanimous decision of the Council to change the official working language regime of the EU.
Borrell lagde i denne forbindelse vægt på stabilitets- og vækstpagten og "Lissabon-strategien" fra marts 2000.
He said that this would be the most important debate on Europe since the founding of the Union.
Borrell fastslog dog, at EU ikke får gennemført "Lissabon-målene" om at gøre EU til den mest vidensbaserede og konkurrencedygtige økonomi i verden inden 2010.
On the approval of the new Commission, President Borrell stated that it would not be a case of rubber-stamping, but the House would bring real political value to the process.
Josep Borrell sluttede med at pege på, at Europa-Parlamentet er et referencepunkt for andre institutioner i verden.
On Turkey, President Borrell reminded the House that he had invited Prime Minister ERDOGAN to address the Conference of Presidents on 23 September.
En "europæisk drøm" er allerede blevet virkelighed.
This would be before the Commission publishes its report on whether to open negotiations.
Nu har vi en "ny europæisk drøm" om et mere forskelligartet Europa, og vore befolkninger skal vækkes og forstå dette.
The European Parliament, he said, should also deliver its opinion before the end of the year so as to engage in the process.
Under den efterfølgende politiske ordførerrunde sagde formanden for PPE-gruppen, den tyske CDU'er Hans-Gert PÖTTERING , at hele EP kunne støtte de store linier i Borrells programtale.
Turning to the next financial perspective, President Borrell underlined the importance of this issue as it would set the entire budgetary framework for what the Union hoped to achieve over the next six years.
Han beklagede, at Rådet ikke var til stede og mente, at Rådets generalsekretariat fremover bør sikre, at Rådet er til stede.
This is why he had suggested setting up a temporary Committee on the financial perspective chaired by the President himself.
Pöttering fastslog, at PPE-gruppen går ind for Europas enhed i mangfoldighed , og at vi ser med respekt på hinanden.
President Borrell also looked forward to hearing from Wim Kok on the progress made under the Lisbon agenda.
Han understregede, at terrorisme aldrig kan retfærdiggøres.
In conclusion, President Borrell said the dream of the reunification of Europe set out by the Union's founders had finally been achieved.
Terrorismen skal bekæmpes, men vi må huske, at en muslim har samme ret til at leve som en kristen.
Now, was the moment, to find a new dream, a dream of a Union based on social inclusion and tolerance.
Formanden for socialistgruppen, den tyske SPD'er Martin SCHULZ kunne også støtte Borrells programtale.
For the EPP-ED group, Hans-Gert POETTERING (DE) said the main lines the President had set out would be supported by the whole of Parliament.
I øjeblikket diskuterer alle politiske grupper i EP spørgsmålet om tyrkisk EU-medlemskab , og også inden for socialistgruppen er der uenighed om dette.
On the issue of the language regime in Parliament, he said that the use of all the official languages was a matter of respect for national cultures and backgrounds a mark of Europe's unity in diversity.
Martin Schulz fastslog dog, at EU må overholde de internationalt afgivne løfter, vi har givet.
Regarding the confirmation hearings for the Commissioners-designate, he drew attention to his group's ten point plan to ensure the Commission respected Parliament's powers and subsidiarity, and worked for a less bureaucratic EU - the Commission would have to accept this before receiving his group's blessing.
I forbindelse med de kommende høringer af kommissærerne sagde Schulz, at konkurrence og social samhørighed er to sider af samme sag, og at socialistgruppen vil forhøre kommissærerne om deres syn på social samhørighed .
Looking ahead to legislative issues, Mr Poettering highlighted the REACH package on industrial chemicals.
Watson pegede på, at det er EP's opgave at forsvare borgernes interesser , og han pegede her på de 9 millioner statsløse sigøjnere.
He said that terrorism was never justified and needed to be fought with all our force, but this did not mean abandoning human rights.
Den liberale gruppe går ind for en åben og ambitiøs reform af EP med vedtagelse af en statut for MEP'erne.
It was important to remember that all human lives have equal value, regardless of nationality or religion.
Den italienske grønne Monica FRASSONI mente, at vor vigtigste opgave er at bekæmpe euroskepticisme n og vise, at Europa-Parlamentet ikke er overflødigt.
For the Socialist Group, Martin SCHULZ (DE) spoke of the dual legitimacy of the EU as a Union of states and peoples.
forbedre EU-lovgivningen og gøre EU-demokratiet mere synligt for borgerne samt
On terrorism, he argued that violence could not be fought with violence and highlighted the importance of dialogue as a means of resolving differences and consolidating democracy.
handle som det internationale samfunds øje.
On the accession of Turkey, he said that EU business must be based on the respect for undertakings made.
EP skal kæmpe for mere aktindsigt, men Rådet gør tilværelsen svær for EP.
Promises made over 40 years must be reliable.
EP skal kæmpe for vedtagelsen af forfatningstraktaten og MEP'ernes statut, og vi bør udnytte vor initiativret bedre, sluttede Monica Frassoni.
He noted that the prospect of EU membership had led to more reform in the last few years in Turkey than had been achieved in 40 years of discussion.
Om kort tid vil EP vedtage forfatningstraktaten , som betyder, at EU bestemmer på 15 nye områder, og at der bliver flertalsafgørelser på 40 nye områder.
WATSON (UK) spoke of the Parliament as a machine with thousands of moving parts producing a million words a week - it was up to President Borrell to keep it working.
EP får ret til at stille flere ændringsforslag.
None more than the President bore the burden of building Parliament's legitimacy.
Bonde fastslog, at trøsten er, at der nu måske skal være folkeafstemninger i alle EU-lande om forfatningstraktaten, som tager magt fra vælgerne og giver den til embedsmænd og det fjerne Europa-Parlament.
He called on the President to continue to reform the Parliament itself, and argued that the House should call the Council's bluff by pushing forward work on the Members' Statute, beyond the package of the end of last year.
Han håbede på frie og fair folkeafstemninger, hvor det går retfærdigt til.
On the Constitution, he told Mr Borrell to renew his frequent flyer package and travel around the continent, leading a campaign to get across the ideas of the Constitution.
Borrells pressekonference:"Risikolande" og "tung dagsorden"!
Parliament, he said finally, needed to work constantly to maintain and build citizens' trust.
Efter at den ny EP-formand Josep BORRELL havde holdt sin programtale i EP i Strasbourg tirsdag den 14. september 2004, holdt han en pressekonference i briefingrummet pressesalen.
Monica FRASSONI (IT) for the Greens/EFA group spoke of the need to fight Euroscepticism and aim for an 80-90 per cent turnout at the next EP election.
Borrell sagde, at EU - og dermed EP - har en "tung dagsorden" i den kommende tid, det drejer sig bl.a. om
She said there was a need to challenge the drift to Parliament being an annex of the Council, with too much emphasis on the position of national delegations within the groups.
"Risikolande" En journalist fra Le Monde spurgte, om de franske socialisters reaktion kan medføre, at forfatningstraktaten går i vasken.
Finally, she called for the sub-committee on human rights to achieve tangible results, not just act as a forum for worthy statements.
Borrell svarede, at han som EP-formand ikke kunne udtale sig partipolitisk, men at der foregår en mere intens debat på venstrefløjen end på højrefløjen, som er mindre splittet i dette spørgsmål.
Perhaps, she said, it should be a full committee in the future.
En italiensk journalist fra TV-stationen RAI spurgte Borrell om, hvilket syn han havde på ratificeringsprocessen.
For the GUE/NGL group, Francis WURTZ (FR) spoke first of the legislative priorities ahead, expressing concern at the proposed directive on the liberalisation of services, the so-called Bolkestein directive, which he said would allow massive social dumping, if the social conditions of a company's country of origin applied everywhere.
Borrell svarede, at Spanien er første land til at holde folkeafstemning om forfatningstraktaten - i slutningen af februar 2005 - og han venter et "ja" fra Spanien.
He said action to achieve the Lisbon and Tampere II goals of full employment and leading competitiveness should start immediately, not waiting for the 2005 review.
En spansk journalist fra dagbladet El Pais spurgte om, hvordan Borrell vil fremme mangetsprogetheden i EU og sprog, som ikke er arbejdssprog i EU.
Finally, on the constitution, he said Parliament should not just be telling citizens how to vote in a referendum.
Borrell svarede, at man i øjeblikket i EP kun har 2 hold tolke, som dækker alle 20 officielle sprog i EU, og der er derfor problemer med at tolke til alle 20 sprog .
MEPs should not dodge the contradictions and problems in the draft, especially if they wanted to continue the process of integration.
Mangetsprogetheden koster ca. 1/3 af EP-budgettet, som er på 1,2 mia. euro.
Jens-Peter BONDE (DK) of the Independence and Democracy group said it was easy to predict that Parliament would approve the constitution by a large majority.
Dvs. at der på årsbasis bruges ca. 400 mio. euro til mangetsprogetheden/multilinguismen , og da der er omkring 200 arbejdsdage, koster det ca. 2 mill. euro om dagen at have 20 officielle sprog i EP.
It would increase the powers of the EU and of the European Parliament itself, at the expense of national Parliaments and the citizens, but the main shift in influence, he said, would be to unaccountable Commission and Council working groups.
Malta En maltesisk journalist spurgte, om han kunne tale maltesisk, og Borrell svarede, at det var han ikke sikker på.
The main role for the EU institutions in this debate should be to provide properly readable versions of the text to the citizens, and to guarantee that the referendums were free and fair across the EU.
Journalisten fortsatte på engelsk og sagde, at de 5 maltesiske MEP'er ikke kan tale maltesisk i EP, og at de ikke har nogen indflydelse.
Brian CROWLEY (IE) spoke for the UEN group.
Borrell svarede, at de maltesiske MEP'er har samme "magtkvote" til at øve indflydelse, som alle andre MEP'er.
After the tragedy of Beslan, he said, it was incumbent on Parliament to resist all kinds of violence.
MEP'ernes statut En journalist fra The European Voice spurgte om, hvordan man kommer ud af dødvandet om MEP'ernes statut .
It should be a beacon of hope, showing that there need be no clash of civilisations.
