Medlemslandes ansvar EP var enige om, at pensionspolitikken samt finansieringen af denne, grundlæggende er og bliver medlemslandenes ansvar, hvilket er i overensstemmelse med nærhedsprincippet.
The report concludes that public pensions schemes, due to their inherently strong redistributional effects, remain vital in providing for a socially acceptable allocation and distribution of income for pensioners.
Dog understregede EP, at hvert medlemsland bør føre en pensionspolitik, der sikrer ældre rimelige indkomster og forhindrer fattigdom i alderdommen.
The report adds that full employment, with quality jobs in a healthy and safe working environment, is the best way to ensure the sustainability of pensions.
Hæv pensionsalderen!
MEPs support the Commission's aim of increasing the effective retirement age but call for this to be implemented by means of incentives rather than disincentives (such as drastic reductions in pension values).

Ordfører: W.G. VAN VELZEN (PPE-DE, NL)
Giorgio CALO , (ELDR, I) as at 03.09.2003 Trade
EP vedtog en betænkning af W.G. van VELZEN (PPE-DE, NL) om videreanvendelse af den offentlige sektors dokumenter.
The House adopted a joint resolution on the Fifth Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organisation in Cancun.
Der var fremsat i alt 24 ændringsforslag, der alle blev vedtaget.
The House also stresses, however, that the Doha Development Round continues and confirms that the EU offer in the negotiations still stands.
Formålet med EU-Kommissionens direktivforslag var, at skabe et regelsæt for kommerciel og ikke-kommerciel brug af informationer fra den offentlige sektor.
The House continues strongly to support multilateral trade agreements as the best mechanism for promoting free and fair trade to the benefit of all, not least for the developing countries.
Bedre udnyttelse af informationer Den offentlige sektor indsamler mangeartede informationer, herunder om sociale, økonomiske, geografiske og uddannelsesmæssige forhold.
MEPs warn WTO members against the risks for developing countries, and especially less developed countries, inherent in unilateral trade policies.
EP var enige om, at en bedre udnyttelse af disse informationer vil medvirke til, at personer og firmaer opnår større fordele af det Indre Marked .
The House stresses, therefore, its commitment to the open and liberal multilateral trading system of the WTO.
Sikre adgang til on-line søgning på dokumenter EP vedtog bl.a. følgende ændringsforslag:
Specifically, MEPs warmly welcome the agreement reached in Geneva on affordable access to medicines.
at der indføres en tidsfrist på højst 3 uger fra en tilladelse til videreanvendelse af informationer bliver givet, og til de pågældende dokumenter bliver udleveret,
The House notes, however, the concerns expressed that rules designed to prevent abuse could obstruct the effective operation of the agreement.
at medlemsstaterne skal foretage de nødvendige praktiske foranstaltninger for at sikre adgang til on-line søgning på dokumenter og
MEPs call on the EU Member States to make a clear commitment to the expeditious authorisation of the necessary licences on request.
at myndigheder, når det er muligt, tager hensyn til handicappedes muligheder for at anvende dokumenter.
The House also expresses particular regret at the failure in Cancun to agree on abolition of the trade-distorting subsidies for cotton, particularly the $3.5 billion subsidies paid to US cotton producers, which threaten the livelihoods of 10 million African cotton farmers.
Net- og informationssikkerhed:e-Europa 2005-handlingsplanen
New investment services directive: more competition and stronger investor protection
Ordfører: Imelda READ (PSE, UK)
Theresa VILLIERS (EPP-ED, London)
EP vedtog en betænkning af Imelda READ (PSE, UK) om forbedring af net- og informationssikkerheden i forbindelse med e-Europa 2005-handlingsplanen (Modinis).
Parliament adopted a legislative resolution on the Investment Services Directive (ISD).
21 mio. euro Der var fremsat ét ændringsforslag om, at der bør afsættes 21 mio. euro til gennemførelse af handlingsplanen , der løber fra 2003-2005.
Other amendments seek to ensure a non-discriminatory approach to venue choice, in particular regarding transparency requirements.
Rådet havde oprindeligt sat det finansielle referencegrundlag til 20 mio. euro, hvilket EP mente var helt utilstrækkeligt.
Transparency requirements are a key feature of the directive, designed to promote competition between venues and price efficiency.
EP stemte derfor for ændringsforslaget.
The directive provides for the publication of as much pre-trade and post-trade information as possible.
Økonomiske og monetære anliggender
The new directive will have a wider scope than the existing one.
Investeringssservice:Skabe investortillid!
Public sector information – Parliament firms up directive
Ordfører: Theresa VILLIERS (PPE-DE, UK)
W.G. VAN VELZEN (EPP-ED, NL)
EP vedtog en betænkning af den britiske konservative Theresa VILLIERS om EU-Kommissionens direktivforslag om investeringsservice.
In adopting a series of compromise amendments at second reading, Parliament today fine-tuned its position on a directive on the re-use and commercial exploitation of public sector information.
Der var 296, der stemte for, 74, der stemte imod og 96, der undlod at stemme.
This should avoid the need for conciliation.
Forældede regler EP var enige om, at Kommissionens nye direktivforslag er nødvendigt fordi
This objective, MEPs state, is applicable to institutions at every level, be it local, national or international.
reglerne for investorbeskyttelse er forældede ,
This is particularly important for so-called ”dynamic information” such as traffic data, the economic value of which depends on its immediate availability and regular updates.
de omfatter ikke alle investeringsorienterede ydelser - rådgivning, nye distributionskanaler, finansielle handler og
In fact, the House introduces a general time-limit of no more than three weeks for processing the applicant’s request and providing the information for re-use.
de behandler ikke de konkurrenceproblemer, der opstår, når børser begynder at konkurrere indbyrdes.
As for charging, the House sets out that, on request, the public sector body should indicate the calculation basis for the charge.
EP var ligeledes enige om, at den seneste tids tilbagegang på aktiemarkederne indebærer, at det er nødvendigt med en solid retlig og reguleringsmæssig ramme som støtte for investortilliden og likviditeten , således at de finansielle markeder kan trives.
Moreover, MEPs make it clear that where charges are made, the total income should not exceed the total costs of collecting, producing, reproducing and disseminating documents, together with a reasonable return on investment, having due regard to the self-financing requirements of the public sector body concerned.
Maling, lak og autoreparationslakering:Grænseværdier for opløsningsmidler
Furthermore, it says public bodies should take into account the possibilities for the re-use of documents by and for people with disabilities.
Ordfører: Giorgio LISI (PPE-DE, I)
Mel READ (PES, East Midlands)
Procedure: Den fælles beslutningsprocedure – Førstebehandling (***I)
Procedure : Codecision (2nd reading)
EP vedtog en betænkning af italieneren Giorgio LISI om et direktivforslag fra EU-Kommissionen om grænseværdier for anvendelsen af opløsningsmidler i maling, lak og autoreparationslakering.
By adopting a legislative resolution at second reading, MEPs agree a figure of €21 million for a programme to share information technology best practice and improve network security.
Formålet er at nå målsætningen om en global reduktion af VOC-emissionsniveauet på 295 kiloton i 2010 for disse overfladebehandlingsmidler.
The programme runs from 2003 to 2005 and is for the monitoring of the eEurope 2005 Action plan, dissemination of good practices and the improvement of network and information security (the programme is also known as MODINIS).
VOC er en forkortelse for flygtige organiske forbindelser.
At first reading the European Parliament supported the Commission's original proposal for a budget of €25 million.
Lisi-betænkningen blev vedtaget med 371 stemmer mod 67 - medens 24 undlod at stemme.
The purpose of MODINIS is to provide a financial support programme to accompany national efforts for the transformation of Europe into a knowledge-based economy.
EU's bidrag til WSSD-gennemførelsesplanen
MODINIS is a successor to the PROMISE programme, which expired at the end of last year.
EP vedtog en beslutning om EU's opfølgning på verdenstopmødet i Johannesburg om bæredygtig udvikling (WSSD).
The European Parliament wants the proposed directive to forbid dangerous substances in decorative paints, varnishes and vehicle refinishing products.
EP peger på behovet for omgående at følge op på de forpligtelser, der blev indgået i Johannesburg, og at en effektiv opfølgning vil være det bedste bevis på EU's forpligtelse til bæredygtig udvikling.
The parliamentarians would like to introduce, by a new paragraph saying: "Member States shall ensure that decorative paints and varnishes and vehicle refinishing products do not contain substances that have been classified as carcinogens, mutagens, or toxic to reproduction."
EU bør fortsat stille sig i spidsen for opfølgningsprocessen, og EU og dets medlemslande bør nu fastlægge ambitiøse handlings- og tidsplaner.
MEPs were in favour of "indicating the potential risks of exposure to solvents and how to use the products wisely" and indicating precisely the quantity of the contained solvents on the product labels.

But the amendment was finally rejected by the House.

All amendments aiming at modifying the limit values were rejected, though a single new limit value for Interior/exterior trim and cladding paints for wood and metal was inserted.

WTO i Cancun/Mexico:Velfærdsgevinst: 620 mia. US$ årligt?
Michael CASHMAN (PES, West Midlands)
Resultatet af mødet i Verdenshandelsorganisationen
Report on public access to Parliament, Council and Commission documents (implementation of Regulation 1049/2001/EC in the year 2002)
EP vedtog en beslutning om den 5.
There is a considerable increase in the documents made available.
WTO-ministerkonference i Cancun/Mexico , som fandt sted i dagene 10.-14. september 2003.
The Council has a document access rate of 89.1 %, the Commission 68 % and Parliament 98.7 %.
EP beklager, at det ikke lykkedes for WTO-medlemmerne at gennemføre Doha-udviklingsdagsordenen og skabe en ramme, der kan afslutte runden i 2004.
However, the report points to a number of shortcomings as regards transparency.
EP frygter, at det vil skade verdensøkonomien og især udviklingslandene.
MEPs concluded that the situation was still unsatisfactory in many ways and they urged the Council and Commission to give direct access to documents more often.
Doha-runden fortsætter dog, og EU's forhandlingstilbud står stadig ved magt.
The Council does not allow the positions of national delegations to be identified when decisions are taken.
Beslutningen blev vedtaget med 291 stemmer mod 101 - medens 51 undlod at stemme.
Parliament sees this information as crucial for scrutinising national governments’ positions.
EP mener, at der var mulighed for en forhandlingsløsning i Cancun, som ville have medført
The Commission is taken to task for setting up several electronic registers.
væsentlige fordele for alle gennem afskaffelse af handelsfordrejende landbrugsstøtte,
MEPs argue that the intention of the regulation was that a single register should be set up.
mere retfærdig adgang til industri-, landbrugs- og servicemarkederne og
They also urge Parliament’s committee secretariats to provide up-to-date information about their work on their websites and to operate in a fully transparent way.
styrkelse af de multilaterale regler med sigte på at sikre fairplay og
The House pointed out that all the institutions seem to refuse applications for legal opinions.
beskyttelse af ikke-handelsmæssige hensyn, som fx. miljø- og fødevaresikkerhedsstandarder .
The House was critical of the Convention on the Future of Europe for not considering itself bound to apply the principles of the regulation and it urged other institutions, agencies and bodies to apply them.
620 mia. US $ WTO har beregnet, at fjernes alle handelsbarrierer for handel med varer, vil det betyde en global velfærdsgevinst på op til 620 mia. US $ årligt.
The EU institutions are also criticised for not defining a system of inter-institutional coding.
Heraf vil 40 % komme udviklingslandene til gode.
MEPs demanded that all the institutions improve the operation of their registers and take urgent action to comply with the regulation.
Det danske udenrigsministerium har opgjort, at dansk eksport på 60 mia. kr. til lande uden for EU pålægges mere end 3 mia. kr. i told.
Furthermore, if access to documents is refused, citizens should be informed of their right to complain to the European Ombudsman and given the Ombudsman’s web address.
WTO - World Trade Organisation - blev oprettet i 1995 som efterfølger for GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade).

Aktindsigt hos EU-institutionerne:"Åben virksomhedskultur”
Sustainable Development - annual follow up to World Summit
EP vedtog en betænkning af det britiske labourmedlem Michael CASHMAN , hvori man fastslår, at det første år med forordning 1049/2001 om aktindsigt i EU-institutionernes dokumenter viser, at EU-institutionerne har gjort reelle fremskridt .
On the EU water initiative, MEPs ask for the further development of the EU Water Initiative to take the form of support by the EU, through its own funding instruments and by other activities, for African projects with a view to ensuring that the countries themselves are committed to implementation and that they feel ownership of the proposed activities.
Et voksende antal dokumenter er blevet tilgængelige for offentligheden, registrene er kommet på plads, og borgerne bliver stadig mere opmærksomme på retten til aktindsigt.
MEPs call on the Commission to ensure that, in the current WTO negotiations on services (GATS), equitable access to water resources is guaranteed for the local communities.
Kort sagt er EU-institutionerne i færd med at udvikle en "åben virksomhedskultur" , som planlagt i forordningen.
As for global governance and link between trade and environment, MEPs underline that one of the key lessons of the WSSD summit was the need to create a coherent and integrated system of global environmental governance, and that this should, therefore, be the priority for policy-makers in the next few years.
EU-traktatens artikel 6 Ministerrådet har et aktindsigtstal på 89,1 %, Kommissionen ligger på 68 %, medens Europa-Parlamentet ligger på 98,7 %.
Finally, MEPs believe that monitoring of the WSSD commitments and timetables must be carried out as systematically as possible.
EP er fast besluttet på at fremme reel åbenhed i EU's arbejde for at styrke det demokratiske princip, som EU bygger på - jvf. artikel 6, stk. 1 i EU-traktaten.
The House undertakes, in this context, to do this on an annual basis – together with a broader interim assessment, evaluating the progress of global and EU activities and the need for new initiatives to be taken and support given with implementation.
EU's ombudsmand og andragender til EP:Barometer for borgernes bekymringer?
Lloyd’s of London – possible Committee of Inquiry?
Ordfører: The Earl of STOCKTON (PPE-DE, UK)
Roy PERRY (EPP-ED, South East)
EP vedtog en betænkning af den spanske GUE'er Laura GONZALEZ ALVAREZ om arbejdet i udvalget for andragender i perioden 12. marts 2002-10. marts 2003.
Parliament adopted a resolution on the Lloyd's of London petitions with 358 votes in favour, 0 against and 35 abstentions.
Et andragende er en anmodning eller klage, som en borger i EU sender til Europa-Parlamentet , og siden 1990 har EP's udvalg for andragender udarbejdet en årlig betænkning om andragender.
Seeking eventual recompense through the Courts and further action from the European Commission, several petitioners, either members or former members of Lloyd’ s of London, insist that the UK government had not properly transposed nor correctly applied Insurance Directive 73/239/EEC when it eventually became operable in national law in 1982 - which was in any case four years late.
EP understreger, at retten til at indgive andragender og retten til at indgive klager til EU's ombudsmand er de eneste udtryk for det direkte demokrati , som borgerne råder over, idet de ikke høres ved afstemninger eller har initiativret til EU's lovgivning.
MEPs insist that a specific response be provided in writing by the Commission to the European Parliament and its competent committee regarding any shortcomings and omissions the Commission believe to have occurred in the proper transposition and application of the Directives referred to in the report, for the period 1978 - 2001.
Barometer Europa-Parlamentet fastslår, at EP altid har betragtet andragender som en særlig overvågningsmulighed i udøvelsen af sine politiske kontrolbeføjelser og som en slags barometer for borgernes forventninger og bekymringer vedrørende Europa i dagligdagen.
Failing that, after the reception of a request, MEPs suggest that the Conference of Presidents prepares a mandate covering the issues raised in this report - namely the application of the Insurance Directives with respect to Lloyd's from 1973 - 1995 - for the establishment of a Committee of Enquiry.
EP vedtog også en betænkning af den britiske konservative The Earl of STOCKTON om EU-ombudsmandens årsberetning for 2002 .
" Lloyd's Names " are individuals who, in return for a share of the potential profits from insurance business, commit their personal assets - with unlimited liability - as a guarantee to insurance companies should the latter be required to pay out on insurance claims.
EP roser den tidligere EU-ombudsmand finnen Jacob Söderman for hans fremragende arbejde, og man peger på, at Söderman har skabt præcedens for en saglig og upartisk sagsbehandling - en kvalitet, der skal videreføres i det fremtidige ombudsmandsarbejde.
Lloyd's made dramatic losses in the 1980s and thousands of " Names " lost substantial amounts of money, leading to personal tragedy and even suicides as a result of continuing claims for damages awarded in US Courts over asbestos-related deaths.
Derudover giver EP den nye EU-ombudsmand, grækeren Nikiforos Diamandouros en række gode råd om, hvordan han kan forbedre det fremtidige ombudsmandsarbejde.
The insurance directive, issued in 1973, requires national regulators to ensure that insurance companies and markets have reserves to cover potential liabilities.
Andragender om forsikringsselskabet Lloyd’s
The petitioners claim that the UK government failed to regulate the Lloyd’s market properly.

EP vedtog med stort flertal en betænkning af Roy PERRY (PPE-DE, UK) vedrørende andragender om det britiske forsikringsselskab Lloyd's. EP vedtog betænkningen med 358 stemmer for, ingen imod, medens 35 undlod at stemme.

EU’s adfærdskodeks for våbeneksport:Rådets fjerde årsberetning
EU Code of Conduct on Arms Exports
Ordfører: Karl von WOGAU (PPE-DE, D)
Karl von WOGAU (EPP-ED, D)
EP vedtog en betænkning af Karl von WOGAU (PPE-DE, D) vedrørende Rådets fjerde årsberetning om EU's adfærdskodeks for våbeneksport.
The European Union needs a clear and efficient common arms export policy, which would represent an important contribution to the development of the European Security and Defence Policy.
Formålet med EU-adfærdskodeksen for våbeneksport er at fastsætte minimumsstandarder for medlemsstaternes udstedelse af tilladelser til eksport af konventionelle våben .
That is one of the key messages of the report on the code on arms exports, adopted today by the European Parliament.
Lette intern samhandel i EU EP understregede, at det er nødvendigt at lette den interne samhandel mellem medlemsstaterne i EU med henblik på et kommende fælles våbenmarked .
As regards the implementation of the code, the House welcomed the greater harmonisation of statistical data but wanted to see more detailed information on, for example, the type and quantity of arms supplied, the number of licences refused, the reasons for refusal and the country of destination.
Endvidere var EP enige om, at kodeksen for våbeneksport skal være retligt bindende for at kunne bekæmpe den internationale terrorisme, forebygge konflikter og fremme regional stabilitet .
In addition, MEPs called for a verification and post-export monitoring system to be set up, with provision for penalties, and urged the Member States to consider establishing a European arms export control agency.
Det blev understreget af EP, at mange af de central- og østeuropæiske lande udgør et knudepunkt for eksport af konventionelle våben, og at det derfor er særligt vigtigt, at kandidatlandene inddrages i informationsudvekslingen og i den konsultationsproces, der er fastlagt i adfærdskodeksen.
The report points out that organised criminals and international arms smugglers had expanded their activities in the area of small arms and were trafficking weapons along routes which went through the territory of the enlarged EU and also through its new neighbouring countries and countries in the Western Balkan region.
Ros til fransk initiativ EP var positive overfor det franske initiativ til at etablere en international kodeks for gennemsigtighed og ansvarlighed for våbeneksport baseret på modellen for EU-kodeksen, og beklagede, at USA og Rusland ikke støtter forslaget.
MEPs welcomed the French initiative on establishing an 'International Code on Transparency and Responsibilities for Arms Transfers' based on the model of the EU code, and regretted the lack of US and Russian support for this proposal.
Medlemmerne af EP fremhævede i den forbindelse, at et sådant internationalt initiativ er mere påkrævet end nogensinde, hvilket situationen i Irak har bidraget til at understrege.
Such an international initiative was urgently needed, they said, not least in the light of the latest findings concerning the arming of Iraq.
