Den franske grønne Daniel COHN-BENDIT (Verts/ALE, F) fastslog, at der suser historiske vinde her i salen i dag, men det er kolde vinde.
Daniel Marc COHN-BENDIT (F) for the Greens/EFA group stated that the ”winds of history” were blowing through Europe.
Han fandt, at der var en nedladende tone over for ansøgerlandene , og at de 15 EU-lande fører en egoistisk politik, og at de er bange for historien.
He called for greater flexibility from the present 15 Member States and greater vision.
I stedet for at drøfte småting bør vi drøfte, hvilket Europa vi vil have om 15-20 år.
Gerard COLLINS (Munster) for the UEN group said that passion for enlargement needed to be matched by pragmatism.
Vi bør gennemføre en social og miljømæssig harmonisering i hele Europa, fastslog Cohn-Bendit.
He called on Irish Members of Parliament of the Green group to change their views and support ratification of the Nice Treaty.
Den irske UEN'er Gerard COLLINS (UEN, IRL) kritiserede de grønne for at arbejde for et irsk nej til Nice-traktaten den 19. oktober, idet det er nødvendigt at Nice ratificeres.
He congratulated Turkey on the political reform over the last year and a half.
Collins understregede, at der er sket enorme fremskrift i Tyrkiet i de seneste 18 måneder, og at der ikke i dag er tale om en afvisning af Tyrkiet.
He also called on both parties in Cyprus to accept a UN settlement as the only way to achieving a united Cyprus.
Danske "sommerhus-protokol" Jens-Peter BONDE fra JuniBevægelsen understregede, at JuniBevægelsen er kritisk over for ansøgerlandenes vilkår ved udvidelsen, men at man trods alt vil stemme ja .
Jens-Peter BONDE (DK) for the EDD group was of the opinion that Nice Treaty was not a requirement for enlargement to take place.
Bonde fastslog, at Nice-traktaten ikke er nogen køn ting.
Hungary and Turkey, he said, both deserved a large number of votes in Council and said that formula used to calculate this was too complicated.
Det er således en skandale, at man vil snyde Ungarn og Tjekkiet med deres antal af MEP'er , og det nye vægtningssystem i Ministerrådet er umuligt at huske, selv for ministre.
He called for candidate countries to be allowed to keep their present legislation on land purchase and overall his group was in favour of enlargement.
Han mente, at man burde lade ansøgerlandene bevare deres frihed på områder, hvor det er muligt.
Frank VANHECKE (IND, B) as an independent Member was in favour of a strong Europe but called for Turkey to be excluded from the enlargement process.
Han mindede i denne forbindelse om den danske "sommerhus-protokol", som sikrer det gode forhold mellem danskere og tyskere, og at ansøgerlandene burde have samme mulighed.
Replying to the debate, President Prodi said that through negotiations the candidate countries had gone through a profound democratic process and that set them in good stead for the future.
Situationen i Irak
Commission statement on the situation in Iraq
Han regnede dog ikke med at våbeninspektørerne vil vende tilbage, før en ny FN-resolution er blevet vedtaget af Sikkerhedsrådet og accepteret af Irak.
What was now an issue was access to the Presidential Palace, he said.
Efter hans mening er det nu et spørgsmål om at bevare FN's troværdighed og gennemslagskraft.
It was, he felt, still too early to comment on the new situation other than to repeat that the EU emphasised the need for broad international support for any action through the UN.
Derfor glædede han sig over, at præsident George W. BUSH har erklæret sig rede til at følge FN-systemet.
It was essential for a credible system of inspection to be established and he noted the positive reaction of President BUSH to follow a UN approach.
Opbakning fra verdenssamfundet Kommissær Chris PATTEN glædede sig ligeledes over, at den amerikanske regering påny har bekræftet sit ønske om at følge FN, hvis det er muligt.
For the Commission, Chris PATTEN felt there was not really much he could add and echoed his support for working within the UN framework to keep the pressure on Iraq and, while he welcomed the diplomatic initiatives in the Arab world to persuade Saddam HUSSEIN to allow the return of UN weapons inspectors, in view of his previous behaviour, this should be treated with a degree to scepticism.
Samtidig glædede han sig over de bestræbelser, som en række arabiske lande har udfoldet for at få Irak til at give FN's våbeninspektører fri adgang.
There was no doubting the fact that Saddam has used the period of the absence of the inspectors to build weapons of mass destruction although he felt there was room for debate over just how much danger this armoury posed.
Han lagde vægt på at gå via FN-systemet, ikke blot fordi det er de europæiske borgeres klare ønske, men også fordi det vil give legitimitet og opbakning fra verdenssamfundet.
He did, however, express his scepticism regarding accusations of Saddam Hussein’s links with terrorism, adding that he was not aware of any evidence showing a direct connection to the Al Qaeda network.
Han henviste til den britiske regerings vurdering af risikoen for maseødelæggelsesvåben i Irak.
As to adopting a pre-emptive strike either against Iraq, or indeed in any other international crisis, he felt that, while a precedent may have been set through acting in Kosovo on humanitarian grounds, there was a need for an international framework as a basis for action.
Efter hans mening er der fare for, at den deraf følgende ustabilitet kan brede sig til hele Mellemøsten.
He urged respect for the UN resolutions.
Alle skal efterleve FN-resolutionerne Kommissæren understregede, at EU's mål principielt er at fjerne de omstridte masseødelæggelsesvåben i Irak.
The question would be what to do in the event of non-compliance not only in Iraq but other trouble spots such as the Middle East.
I den forbindelse slog han til lyd for at tage alvorligt fat, ikke bare over for Irak, men over for alle de lande, der ikke efterlever FN-resolutionerne.
He sought clarification of relations between NATO and the projected Rapid Reaction Force and indeed the EU’s own planned Rapid Reaction Force.
Det vil være til gavn for Iraks befolkning og for hele Mellemøsten, sluttede Chris Patten.
EU Member States would have to look seriously at the question of military spending, but he underlined the importance of a united response from the EU through the international community.
Europæisk udrykkestyrke Saddam Hussein's regime er til fare for den internationale sikkerhed, sagde José Ignacio SALAFRANCA (PPE-DE, E).
For the PES, Jannis SAKELLARIOU (D) acknowledged that there was consensus in the view that Iraq should comply with Security Council resolutions regarding the return of inspectors but that there were differences of opinion over the need for a new resolution.
Han fastslog, at EU's og det internationale samfunds mål er at fjerne risikoen for en omfattende konflikt i Mellemøsten.
He wanted to see a lifting of the embargo against Iraq thus alleviating the suffering inflicted on the Iraqi people and the suspension of US and British bombing of the country once the inspectors were in place.
I overensstemmelse med de grundlæggende europæiske værdier bør magtanvendelse være den sidste udvej, sagde han.
The UN should devise a clear strategy, he felt.
I den forbindelse krævede han, at FN's våbeninspektører får uhindret adgang til at kontrollere tilstedeværelsen af masseødelæggelsesvåben i Irak.
For the Liberals, Baroness Emma NICHOLSON (South East) drew attention to Parliament’s call for Saddam Hussein to be brought before an International Tribunal and for the Commission to set up an Office of Human Rights.
I modsat fald bør EU efter hans mening overveje muligheden for at indsætte en europæisk udrykkestyrke.
In this way, Saddam Hussein could be prosecuted for violating the 1948 Genocide Convention.
Det er vigtigt, at EU og det internationale samfund giver et fælles svar, sluttede han.
She then recalled the various crimes and violations committed by the Iraqi leader.
Ikke behov for nye resolutioner Jannis SAKELLARIOU (PSE, D) var enig i, at Irak skal efterleve FN's resolutioner og give våbeninspektørerne mulighed for at kontrollere og i givet fald tilintetgøre eventuelle masseødelæggelsesvåben.
For the GUE, Francis WURTZ (F) expressed the hope that war could now be avoided, especially if the response of the international community was to respect UN resolutions in favour of disarmament.
Til gengæld mente han ikke, at der er behov for en ny FN-resolution som forudsætning for, at våbeninspektørerne kan vende tilbage.
He cautioned against any military action without the necessary evidence and he was another speaker to support the lifting of the embargo in exchange for allowing inspectors into the country.
Endvidere opfordrede han af humanitære årsager til en ophævelse af embargoen over for Irak.
He called for a joint Commission and Council declaration before drawing attention to violence being committed in the Middle East and particularly against Palestinians.
Saddam Hussein skyldig i folkedrab Saddam Hussein er skyldig i folkedrab over for den irakiske befolkning, sagde Emma NICHOLSON (ELDR, UK).
For the Greens, Per GAHRTON (S) lent his support to a national liberation campaign against the Iraqi dictator and action through the UN.
Hun henviste til, at store befolkningsgrupper i Irak er blevet forfulgt, fordrevet og delvis udryddet.
For the EDD, Florence KUNTZ (F) was anxious to avoid war and the inevitable enormous loss of human life.
Europa-Parlamentet bør hjælpe den irakiske befolkning med at få Saddam Hussein stillet for retten, sagde hun.
Gary TITLEY (PES, North West) stated that he had examined the dossier of evidence on Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction that was presented to the British parliament, one of the most striking elements, he said, was the size of Saddam Hussein’s palaces - equal to the size of cities.
Efter hendes mening vil oprettelsen af et internationalt kontor for menneskerettigheder i Irak kunne medvirke til at nå dette mål.
He, therefore, called for unfettered access for UN inspectors to all sites within Iraq.
Nej til ny USA-doktrin Francis WURTZ (GUE/NGL, F) understregede, at hans gruppe går ind for at støtte våbeninspektørernes tilbagevenden til Irak.
Although UN action was fundamental, he also remarked that diplomacy had to be followed up by military action if necessary.
Han håbede, at fornuften vil sejre, så man på denne måde kan undgå en ny krig i Irak.
The threat of military action would simply not suffice.
I den forbindelse glædede han sig også over præsident Bush's seneste udtalelser, der synes at tyde på en ny og mere nuanceret opfattelse af den internationale politiks spilleregler.
He said that if the UN did not follow through with the necessary action, international politics would fundamentally change for the worse and multilateral action would be undermined.
Francis Wurtz tog dog afstand fra den nye amerikanske strategiske doktrin, ifølge hvilken USA i kraft af sin militære overlegenhed skal være i stand til at udkæmpe en præventiv krig på egen hånd.
The world, he stated, would become a much more dangerous place.
USA's krigstrussel udemokratisk Per GAHRTON (Verts/ALE, S) betegnede USA's krigstrussel mod Irak som udemokratisk.
Caroline LUCAS (Greens/EFA, South East) was in no doubt that Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator by this was not sufficient for war.
I stedet gik han primært ind for at anvende økonomiske sanktioner over for styret i Baghdad.
If this was the criteria, she said, then the world would be declaring war on several countries.
Han fastslog dog, at våbeninspektørerne skal have betingelsesløs adgang til alle faciliteter i Irak.
She said the primary reason for military action was to secure access to oil.
Hvis det så bliver nødvendigt at gribe ind, skal det besluttes i Sikkerhedsrådet med hele FN-systemets opbakning, konkluderede han.
Although useful, the UN was not a perfect way of gaining legitimacy for military action as the US would bribe other countries as it did before the Gulf War.
Forenklet tankegang Florence KUNTZ (EDD, F) tog som europæer afstand fra den amerikanske regerings "forenklede tankegang".
She said that all peaceful means needed to be exhausted before any ”just war” could take place.
Hun henviste til, at en krig i Irak vil koste mange menneskeliv.
The international community, she said, was far from achieving this.
Samtidig pegede hun på, at den internationale embargo har påført den irakiske befolkning mange lidelser.
Eurig WYN (Greens/EFA, Wales) criticised the bombing from planes in the no-fly zones over the north and south of Iraq and said that this only made things worse.
Endelig understregede hun, at der ikke er fremlagt beviser for tilstedeværelsen af masseødelæggelsesvåben i Irak eller for forbindelser til det internationale terroristnetværk.
He called on the international community to do all in its powers to defend minorities within Iraq, in particular, the five million Kurds in the north which represent one quarter of Iraq’s population.
Negative følger af embargo EU skal insistere på FN's opbakning, sagde Pernille FRAHM (Socialistisk Folkeparti).
Replying to the debate, Mr Haarder once again emphasised the importance of the EU acting together in supporting the UN Security Council.
Også hun understregede, at der ikke foreligger beviser for tilstedeværelsen af masseødelæggelsesvåben i Irak.
He felt that war was not unavoidable and in reply to questions regarding the lifting of sanctions, did say that there were new rules affecting the ”Oil for Food Programme”.
Endvidere pegede hun på, at embargoen har ført til forøget fattigdom og højere børnedødelighed i Irak.
The situation was not helped by Saddam Hussein himself who seemed indifferent to the needs of his own people.
Hvis han skal motiveres til at tænke på sine borgere og på freden i regionen, så må vi stå sammen, også i dette Parlament, sluttede Bertel Haarder.
President Cox also said that he had sent his condolences to Queen BEATRIX and the Dutch people following the death of Prince Claus von Amsberg the husband of Queen Beatrix.

Drivhusgasemissioner:Handel med kvoter
Kyoto protocol and emissions trading
Forslag til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv om en ordning for handel med kvoter for drivhusgasemissioner i Fællesskabet og om ændring af Rådets direktiv 96/61/EF
Report on the proposal for a European Parliament and Council directive establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC (COM(2001) 581 – C5-0578/2001 – 2001/0245(COD))
Parlamentet godkendte med 381 stemmer for, 66 imod og 38 hverken/eller en betænkning af Jorge MOREIRA DA SILVA (PPE-DE, P) og støtter dermed Kommissionens forslag om at indføre en europæisk ordning for handel med kvoter for drivhusgasemissioner.
Parliament has thrown its weight behind the Environment Committee in voting today, by 381 votes to 66, with 38 amendments for an ambitious new scheme for trading greenhouse-gas emission rights throughout the EU.
MEP'erne ønsker at stramme forslaget, så det udvides til at omfatte samtlige drivhusgasser og visse anlæg inden for den kemiskle industri og aluminiumsindustrien.
It has adopted a raft of amendments at first reading, most of which were tabled by the Environment Committee, that beef up the scheme proposed by the Commission by expanding its scope to include all greenhouse gases instead of just carbon dioxide and widening the range of industries covered by the directive to include the chemical and aluminium industries.
Parlamentet går ind for, at ordningen skal være obligatorisk, men at der i en overgangsperiode fra 2005 til 2007 skal være mulig for midlertidigt at fravælge ordningen ("opt out") for individuelle anlæg i medlemsstaterne.
MEPs have issued a ringing endorsement of their reporter, Jorge MOREIRA DA SILVA (EPP-ED, P), who shares Environment Commissioner Margot WALLSTRÖM 's determination that the EU should continue to lead the rest of the world in tackling climate change by adopting its own scheme for trading green-house gas allowances ahead of the international scheme to be set up in 2008 under the Kyoto Protocol.
Med hensyn til fordelingen af emissionskvoter går Parlamentet ind for, at medlemsstaterne skal fordele 15% mod betaling og resten gratis.
Mr Moreira fought hard to forge a consensus on this novel and highly controversial draft directive which aims to create a market in greenhouse gas emissions in the EU by introducing permits authorising emissions from installations which will be allocated to Member States.
Begrundelsen er, at det vil resultere i mere ensartede konkurrencevilkår og ikke føre til store omkostningsstigninger for den europæiske industri.
The scheme is intended to cut the cost to the EU of meeting its Kyoto Protocol targets by EUR 1.3 bn a year.
MEP'erne går ind for at lægge loft over fordelingen af kvoter til medlemsstaterne.
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.
De understreger, at loftet må sænkes i forbindelse med udvidelsen for at forhindre et øget antal emissioner.
The House adopted, with the crushing majority of 448 votes to 24, the Environment Committee's compromise solution to the contentious question of whether the scheme should be mandatory from the outset.
Endelig fastslås det, at handelen med emissionskvoter ikke kan benyttes i forbindelser med tilgodehavender fra projekter, der omfatter kulstofdræn og atomenergikilder.
It voted for mandatory participation by Member States from 2005, as the Commission proposes, but also inserted the proviso that Member States should have limited rights to exempt individual installations, thereby meeting the concerns of Finnish, German and British MEPs, in particular.
Baggrunden er, at EU - inden for rammerne af Kyoto-aftalen - har forpligtet sig til i perioden 2008-2012 at reducere mængden af drivhusgasemissioner med 8 % i forhold til 1990-niveauet.
Parliament also wants a cap to be placed on the number of permits issued to each Member State, in order to prevent distortions of competition and says the ceilings must be lowered after the new Member States join the EU to prevent a surplus of emissions.
Kommissionens forslag sigter mod at indføre et EU-marked for storforbrugere af energi.
In a bid to keep up the pressure on third countries to ratify the Kyoto Protocol, Parliament says any agreements recognising third countries' emission trading schemes must be subject to ratification of the Protocol.
EU-ordningen med emissionshandel skal starte i 2005 , og den omfatter ca. 5.000 europæiske virksomheder i industri- og energisektoren, der tegner sig for over 46 % af alle kuldioxidemissioner i Europa .
She opposed the extension of the scheme to include more gases and industries from the beginning on the grounds that it was too early to measure their emissions accurately.
Den svenske EU-miljøkommissær Margot WALLSTRÖM understregede, at forslaget udgør en hjørnesten i gennemførelsen af Kyoto-aftalen , som EU er juridisk forpligtet til at overholde.
Opening the debate, Environment Commissioner, Margot WALLSTRÖM explained that the proposal before the House was to enable the EU to fulfil the terms of the Kyoto Protocol to cut greenhouse gas emissions through a system of emission trading across the EU.
EU vil ikke uden en særlig indsats kunne overholde Kyoto-aftalen, handel med emissioner er en af vejene, og hun vurderede, at EU i 2010 vil kunne spare 1,3 mia. euro ved denne ordning.
In addition, she pointed out that a similar approach had been taken in the USA to sulphur and nitrous oxide gases, so if the EU could show that this approach worked with CO 2 , then it could be a way of persuading the US to make a similar commitment.
Margot Wallström sluttede med at fastslå, at det drejer sig om EU's troværdighed på miljøområdet, og at hele verden kigger på os for at se, om vi lever op til den ledende rolle, som vi har påtaget os.
As she put it, it was vital for the new system to work, the credibility of the EU’s environmental policy was at stake.
"Opt in"-princip Miljøudvalgets ordfører, den portugisiske PPE'er Jorge MOREIRA DA SILVA (PPE-DE, P) mente, at det i det store og hele var et godt forslag, som bliver et væsentligt element i medlemslandenes miljøpolitik.
Welcoming the Commission’s proposals, on behalf of the Environment Committee, Jorge MOREIRA DA SILVA (EPP-ED, P) too sought to persuade the US and other industrialised nations to follow Europe’s example.
Moreira da Silva understregede, at ordningen bør være juridisk bindende , og at der bør fastsættes et maksimumsloft for drivhusgasemissioner .
For the Legal Committee, Heidi Anneli HAUTALA (Greens/EFA, FIN) underlined the need for legal certainty and for the system to start as soon as possible.
Pilotprojekt Handel med emissioner vil være et vigtigt middel til at løse problemet med drivhusgasser, sagde Cristina GARCÍA-ORCOYEN TORMO (PPE-DE, E).
For the Industry Committee, William NEWTON DUNN (ELDR, East Midlands) said there was agreement here on the new system to be compulsory as from 2008 and extending it to other gases but opposition to auctions.
Hun henviste til den brede politiske opbakning om forslaget, men erkendte samtidig, at der også vil være visse vanskeligheder forbundet med gennemførelsen.
Furthermore, as regards to detail implementing rules to be taken at a later stage, the committee felt Parliament should be involved through the co-decision procedure.
I den forbindelse gik hun ind for at gøre den første fase til en slags pilotprojekt, således at der på baggrund af de indhøstede erfaringer kan fastsættes de endelige bestemmelser for gennemførelsen.
For the EPP/ED group, Cristina GARCÍA ORCOYEN TORMO (E) emphasised the need for flexibility in the first stage after transposition of the directive in order to give industry the necessary time to adapt to the new system.
Effektiv sanktionspolitik Det endelige mål er at overholde Kyoto-protokollen og forhindre klimaændringer, sagde Dorette CORBEY (PSE, NL).
The second phase, she said, should be enforced more rigorously by the Commission.
På den baggrund lagde hun især vægt på miljøbeskyttelsen og gik ind for et absolut loft for emissioner.
Her group in principle, she said, was against an auction system for emissions trading but her group could support 5% of emissions to be bought through the auction system.
Hun pegede også på behovet for et bedre samarbejde med landene i Øst- og Centraleuropa og udviklingslandene.
Dorette CORBEY (NL) for the PES group, stated that her group supported the ceilings proposed by the Environment Committee.
Hun ønskede en effektiv sanktionspolitik og var samtidig modstander af en "opt out"-model.
Her group was against any opt-outs and in favour of extending the proposal to all greenhouse gases.
Virksomhederne skal jo under alle omstændigheder nedsætte deres CO 2 -emissioner, konkluderede hun.
The directive, she said, would be an important part of the EU’s overall sustainable development strategy including the New Delhi Conference on Climate Change to be held from 23 October - 1 November.
EU som foregangsmand EU går forrest med hensyn til implementering af Kyoto-protokollen, sagde Chris DAVIES (ELDR, UK).
Chris DAVIES (North West) for the ELDR group, stated that through this directive the EU was taking the lead on climate change issues and this contrasted sharply with the attitude of the US.
Han betegnede forslaget om handel med emissioner som et vigtigt skridt på vejen.
He was pleased to see that the radical ideas he had read about 20 years ago on emissions trading had been taken up by the Commission.
Han glædede sig over den brede politiske tilslutning til Kommissionens forslag.
He said his group could accept temporary opt-outs for existing national emissions reducing schemes, but was sceptical about the UK’s scheme.
Samtidig glædede han sig over, at der også åbnes for en "opt out"-løsning for de virksomheder, der måtte have brug for det.
The EU, he continued, should focus on the long-term.
