MEPs also voted to refer the report by Niels BUSK (ALDE, DK) on exceptional market support measures back to the Agriculture Committee.
Han understregede, at onsdagens debat om Afrika falder sammen med G8-topmødet i Gleneagles.
The session opens on Monday with a debate on the European Central Bank, as Parliament considers its response to the Bank's 2004 annual report - ECB President Jean-Claude TRICHET will be taking part in the debate.

Parlamentet har godkendt et forslag til protokol om ændring af aftalen om søtransport mellem EU og Kina.
Silicon Valley had managed without patents for twenty years - copyright protection had been enough.
Protokollen tilpasser de tekniske og sproglige aspekter til aftalen i forbindelse med EU's udvidelse i 2004.
"What is immaterial is not technical and should not be patentable," he said.
Parlamentet har godkendt et forslag EU's indgåelse af aftalen om beskyttelse af afrikansk-eurasiske migrerende vandfugle.
Big corporations were afraid of losing their protection, but the costs of patents were rising.
Denne aftale blev undertegnet af EU den 1. september 1997 og trådte i kraft den 1. november 1999.
It was time to reconcile law with consistency and clarity.

Piia-Noora KAUPPI (FI) for the EPP-ED group criticised the fact that the Council common position did not include any of the European Parliament's first reading amendments.
"Indeholder phthalater - må ikke puttes i munden"
She called for support for the EPP-ED " moderate " amendments which seek to tighten up the directive.
Ordfører: Antonios TRAKATELLIS (PPE/DE, EL)
Mrs Kauppi also criticised the European Patent Office.
Plasticlegetøj skal være mere sikkert.
Mrs Berger questioned whether this was the right way to legislate.
Phthalater er kemiske stoffer, som tilsættes PVC for at blødgøre det.
Toine MANDERS (NL) for the ALDE group stated that the European Patent Office, based in Munich, has recently granted " pointless patents " and there was a consensus that these should not have been granted.
Der findes ca. 40 af den slags stoffer.
Article 52 of the Munich Convention, he said, was legally clear and he questioned why this was being disputed.
I 1990erne viste undersøgelser, at nogle af dem kan være kræftfremkaldende, mutagene eller reproduktionstoksiske.
There should be, he said, democratic control of the European Patent Office and this directive was not the correct method to legislate.
Stofferne er ikke bundet af PVC og kan altså frigøres og optages i kroppen på et barn, som tygger på et stykke plastlegetøj.
Evelin LICHTENBERGER (AT), on behalf of the Greens/EFA group, said that while everyone agreed on the need for innovation in the Information Technology field, particularly to protect SMEs and enable them to develop, the dispute over amendments risked leaving the backdoor open to the patenting of software.
Opdeling i kategorier På den baggrund har Europa-Parlamentet med enkelte ændringer godkendt Rådets fælles holdning, der er baseret på den seneste videnskabelige forskning på området.
If the common position were to be approved, the gates would flood open for the whole patent system as " ideas would become market objects ", leaving SMEs with no chance to keep up.
Det medfører, at de pågældende seks typer phthalater skal deles op i to kategorier.
It was simply too costly for them to defend patents.
Den første kategori bestående af DEHP, DBP og BBP (se nedenfor) anses for særligt farlige og bliver forbudt i alle former for legetøj og småbørnsartikler i koncentrationer på over 0,1 % udtrykt i masse af det blødgjorte materiale.
She said it was important not to bow to pressure from an industry that wants the full patentability of software and called for support for the 21 amendments favouring a free market with open competition: "We need to develop European innovation ".
Den anden kategori bestående af DINP, DIDP og DNOP (se nedenfor) bliver forbudt i legetøj og småbørnsartikler, som kan puttes i munden.
For the GUE/NGL group, Ilda FIGUEIREDO (PT) said the stakes were particularly high in this debate.
Endvidere har Kommissionen lovet at se nærmere på spørgsmålet om anvendelse af duftstoffer.
There would be serious repercussions if the right to write software was concentrated in a few large corporations.
Efter EP's mening kan tilsætning af duftstoffer til plastlegetøj være en medvirkende årsag til, at småbørn putter legetøjet i munden.
Small companies, she said, would need to hire teams of lawyers to check they were not contravening any patents, but they would not have the deep pockets of multinationals.

But, he said, Mr Rocard's amendments were not trying to block the directive, they accepted the basic principle of harmonisation.
EU-handlingsplan for miljøteknologi
"We will vote to reject the directive completely.
Ordfører: Riitta MYLLER (PSE, FI)
Now that is patently obvious!"
Fremme af teknologi til bæredygtig udvikling: En EU-handlingsplan for miljøteknologi
Brian CROWLEY (IE) for the UEN group paid a personal tribute to the efforts of Mr Rocard, but he said that the debate on this issue seems often to be totally unconnected to the real world.
EU skal gøre mere for at udvikle og anvende miljøteknologi som led i bestræbelserne på at skabe en bæredygtig økonomisk vækst.
He said 62 000 jobs in Ireland were based in small computer innovation businesses, and all these SMEs favoured the common position.
Det konkluderer Europa-Parlamentet med godkendelsen af en initiativbetænkning udarbejdet af Riita MYLLER (PSE, FI) som ordfører.
The non-attached member Bruno GOLLNISCH (FR) said software patents would be a death sentence for SMEs and independent software developers.
EP mener, at EU bør arbejde for at fastholde sin førende rolle på markedet for miljøteknologi.
Sharon BOWLES (ALDE, UK) stated that the need for this directive was based on improved territorial cohesion for patents.
Det mener, at EU om ti år bør have opnået en markedsandel på mindst 50 % af det voksende marked for miljøvarer og -tjenesteydelser.
Mrs Bowles stated that Member States should ensure that the unauthorised supply or import of a computer program which is an essential element of a product or process validly claimed should constitute an infringement.

This would mean that a patented invention remained the method/apparatus but an importer (eg from China) would be in the same legal position as those within the Member State.
Medlemmers immunitet og Statut
Mr Rocard's proposed amendments were " simplistic " and, if adopted, would cripple industry.
Beskyttelse af Umberto Bossis immunitet
What was at stake was the ownership of ideas.
Ordfører: Diana WALLIS (ALDE/ADLE, UK)
Arlene McCARTHY (PES, UK) said Europe had the opportunity to lead the world with good patent law, but there was disagreement about how to achieve this.
Anmodning om beskyttelse af Umberto Bossis immunitet og privilegier
The law should be tightened to avoid the patenting of software and business methods, but patents were needed to protect the ideas of European innovators.
Procedure: Den ikke-lovgivningsmæssige procedure
Individual programmers, on the other hand, should not have to deal with a mass of trivial patents.
Padova, Brescia og Bergamo.
That would be costly, legalistic and confusing."
Derimod har EP besluttet at ophæve Bossi's immunitet i forbindelse med en retssag i Milano.
The conciliation procedure would be the best way to achieve a first class law, he said.
Baggrunden er, at der for så vidt angår retssagerne i Padova, Brescia og Bergamo er rejst tiltale mod Bossi for at have fremsat ærekrænkende udtalelser m.v. i forbindelse med politiske møder.
Simon COVENEY (EPP-ED, IE) stated that it was a complex technical subject and there had been " heavy " lobbying supporting and opposing the common position.
Eftersom sådanne handlinger ikke er beskyttet af de nationale regler for parlamentarisk immunitet vurderer EP altså, at Umberto Bossi's immunitet skal ophæves.
The directive would not make it possible, he said, to patent software as opposed to the current US system; copyright exists to protect software.

Inter-operability was also essential allowing " open-source " software to flourish.
Beskyttelse af Jean-Charles Marchianis immunitet
Finally, Mr Coveney said it was likely that the whole directive would be rejected in the vote.
Ordfører: Francesco Enrico SPERONI (IND/DEM, IT)
Malcolm HARBOUR (EPP-ED, UK) said the proposed directive's objective was to clarify and harmonise existing patent law.
Anmodning om beskyttelse af Jean-Charles Marchianis immunitet
He questioned whether the draft directive would achieve this objective as much of the proposed text was opaque and went in the wrong direction.
Baggrunden er, at der i forbindelse med en fransk retssag om hæleri og underslæb mod Jean-Charles Marchiani blev givet ordre til aflytning af hans telefon.
his "lucid passion for building Europe as a guarantor of peace,
Det mener derfor, at de franske myndigheder ikke lovligt kunne gennemføre en aflytning af Jean-Charles Marchianis telefonlinjer uden først at orientere Europa-Parlamentets formand herom.
President Ciampi thanked the House and President Borrell for the warm and affectionate welcome in the " highest forum of European democracy ".

He began by saying that Europe was more than just an economic union. "
Beskyttelse af Ashley Motes immunitet
Europe is not and cannot be just an economic free trade area.
Ordfører: Klaus-Heiner LEHNE (PPE/DE, DE)
It is primarily a political area, a constitutional organism which links to, complements and completes our own national constitutions ".
Procedure: Den ikke-lovgivningsmæssige procedure
He warned against the temptation to question the very idea of Europe.
Parlamentet har efter anmodning fra de britiske myndigheder besluttet at ophæve den parlamentariske immunitet for Ashley MOTE (NI, UK).
Quoting the Spanish philosopher, Jose Ortego Y Gassett, he said " A Union needs a skeleton of cohesion policies - physical, social and economic ."
Baggrunden er, at der er rejst tiltale mod Ashley Mote for uretmæssigt at have modtaget ca. 750.000 DKK i sociale ydelser i perioden 1996-2002.
In this spirit, he called for greater cohesion in the Union, adding that distortions and disparities in living conditions between countries were not acceptable.
På det foreliggende grundlag vurderer Parlamentet, at den britiske anmodning er velbegrundet og bør imødekommes.
His address was at one point interrupted by a group of Northern League MEPs waving their flag before they were escorted out of the Chamber on the demand of President Borrell.
Det noterer specielt, at de britiske myndigheder udtrykkeligt har erklæret, at det vil være muligt for Ashley Mote at deltage i EP's møder under retssagen i mod ham.
He went on to say there was a lack of political will among national governments which hindered major Community projects, before urging Europe to re-launch its commitment to major programmes, like Galileo and Erasmus, push for a single seat at the UN and a security and peace policy, and formulate " avant-garde " initiatives for an enlarged Europe.

Der er behov for en sammenhængende, ambitiøs og længerevarende kommunikationsstrategi for euroen og Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union (ØMU'en).
This comes in an own-initiative report drawn
Det mest vellykkede europæiske projekt nogensinde EP opregner en række fordele ved ØMU'en og den fælles valuta, bl.a. billigere finansiering, historisk lave renter, større prisgennemsigtighed, fjernelse af valutakursrisikoen, fremme af handel og rejser inden for EU og pres på medlemsstaterne for at gennemføre en stabilitetsorienteret finanspolitik.
The report lists a large number of benefits of economic and monetary union - price stability, reduced transaction costs, greater price transparency within the euro zone, reduced price volatility on the international currency markets and protection against external shocks, historically low interest rates, low mortgage rates and easier travel.
Det mener, at euroen muligvis er det mest vellykkede europæiske projekt nogensinde.
In Parliament's view, " the euro is possibly the most successful European project ever launched " but MEPs are also aware that a certain section of the European public " purports to have a negative perception of the euro... and this tendency is on the rise ".
Negativ opfattelse blandt befolkningen Parlamentet henviser imidlertid til, at en del af den europæiske offentlighed har en negativ opfattelse af euroen, og at denne tendens er stigende.
They therefore say the single currency must remain a communication priority for the EU, the benefits of which must " continue to be sold and explained to the public at length ", using modern marketing techniques to get the message across.
Derfor mener det, at den fælles valuta fortsat skal prioriteres i EU's kommunikationspolitik, og at fordelene fortsat skal sælges til og udførligt forklares for befolkningen.
A particular effort needs to be made in small towns and remote areas.
I den forbindelse understreges vigtigheden af at anvende moderne markedsføringsteknikker og at fokusere på små byer og fjerntliggende områder.
The European Central Bank should provide an annual quantitative analysis of the benefits of the euro for ordinary citizens
Den Europæiske Centralbank, ECB, opfordres til at foretage en årlig kvantitativ analyse af de fordele, som euroen har medført for almindelige borgere.
MEPs say it is important to consider the concerns form the three non-euro countries of old EU15, calling on the Commission to help the governments of the UK, Sweden and Denmark " in their quest to win over a sceptical public, if these governments so wish. "
Støtte til de nye medlemsstater Efter EP's mening bør Kommissionen koncentrere kræfterne om at hjælpe de nye medlemsstater med at forberede deres borgere på euroen gennem en intensiv informationskampagne.
On the other hand, the report says the Commission should concentrate its efforts on helping the new Member States to prepare their citizens for adoption of the euro by undertaking an intensive information campaign, and to supervise its implementation where such a campaign has already started.
I den forbindelse noteres det, at et krav om dobbelte prisangivelser i f.eks. mindst tre måneder inden indførelsen af euroen og op til 12 efter kan mindske risikoen for prisstigninger forårsaget af euroen.
MEPs say a requirement of dual pricing three months before introducing the euro and up to 12 months afterwards can help reduce people's fears of euro-induced price rises and put pressure on businesses not to use the conversion as a pretext for price rises.
Dårlige erfaringer i den henseende fra nogle af de gamle eurolande kan med fordel udnyttes til at forhindre lignende adfærd i de nye medlemsstater.
Experience from malpractices of this sort in the current euro area should be used in future entrants to prevent such behaviour.
EP sætter spørgsmålstegn ved behovet for 500-euro-sedler i lyset af stigningen i elektroniske transaktioner i medlemsstaterne.
It queries the relevance of keeping such notes, given the rise in electronic trading in transactions.
Elforsyningssikkerhed og infrastrukturinvesteringer
Security of electricity supply - agreement between Parliament and Council
Ordfører: Giles Bryan CHICHESTER (PPE/DE, UK)
Giles CHICHESTER (EPP-ED, UK)
Forsyningssikkerhed Kommissionen har i den forbindelse fremsat forslag med henblik på at sikre et velfungerende indre marked for el i EU ved at fremme forsyningssikkerheden og sikre en tilstrækkelig sammenkoblingsgrad mellem medlemsstaterne.
The purpose of the Commission proposal is to set up an internal framework within which Member States will define general, transparent and non-discriminatory policies on the security of electricity supply compatible with the requirements of a competitive single market for electricity.
Kompromisforslag sikrer hurtig gennemførelse Parlamentet har på den baggrund godkendt en betænkning af Giles CHICHESTER (PPE-DE, UK) og dermed vedtaget en række ændringer til Kommissionens oprindelige forslag.
MEPs believe the directive's primary objective should be safeguarding the security of the electricity supply so as to ensure the proper functioning of the EU's internal market for electricity.
Ændringerne er udarbejdet som kompromisforslag i samarbejde med Rådet med det formål at sikre en godkendelse af direktivet allerede ved førstebehandlingen.
The House wants to limit the competences of the regulatory authority concerning the building of interconnections.
Rammelovgivning Efter EP's mening skal direktivet skal etablere en ramme, inden for hvilken medlemsstaterne definerer gennemskuelige, stabile og ikke-diskriminerende politikker for elforsyningssikkerhed, som er forenelige med kravene på et konkurrenceorienteret indre elmarked.
According to the Parliament, transport network managers should regularly provide the regulatory authority with a document detailing their investment projects for the establishment of an adequate level of trans-border interconnection.
To års frist Ændringerne indebærer, at medlemsstaterne skal sætte de nødvendige love og administrative bestemmelser i kraft for at efterkomme direktiv senest 24 måneder efter dets ikrafttræden.
These investments are also necessary for the network to be able to confront growing demand without businesses and citizens suffering frequent power cuts or general electricity breakdowns.

Udnyttelse af børn i udviklingslandene med særligt fokus på børnearbejde
Report on the proposal for a Council decision on the conclusion of a
Ifølge de seneste data fra den Internationale Arbejderorganisation - ILO - arbejder 171 millioner børn på steder, der er farlige for deres fysiske og psykiske helbred, 5,7 millioner børn er blevet slaver for at betale familiens gæld, 1,8 millioner børn udnyttes af prostitutions- og pornomafiaer, 1,2 millioner børn er blevet handelsobjekter eller er blevet presset ind i seksuel udnyttelse, tvangsarbejde eller arbejde, 600.000 børn er involveret i ulovlige aktiviteter, mens mindst 300.000 børn er blevet tvunget til at gøre tjeneste i væbnede styrker over hele verden (børnesoldater).
Due to enlargement and the accession of ten new Member States to the EU, a Protocol must be agreed amending this agreement.
FN- og ILO-konventioner På den baggrund har Parlamentet godkendt en betænkning om udnyttelse af børn i udviklingslandene med særligt fokus på børnearbejde, udarbejdet af den græske Manolis MAVROMMATIS (PPE-DE, EL).
This protocol is to be concluded by the EU Council which acts unanimously on behalf of the Member States.
EP opfordrer alle verdens lande til snarest at ratificere og håndhæve FN's konvention om barnets rettigheder og dens valgfrie protokoller.
The Commission and the Chinese representatives in Brussels initiated this draft report in September 2004.
Man opfordrer også alle EU-lande, der ikke har ratificeret ILO-konvention 138 og 182, til at ratificere og håndhæve disse.
Given the technical character of the document in question, Parliament could give its opinion without a plenary debate under Rule 131 of the Rules of Procedure.

EP forkaster forslag om softwarepatenter
No directive on software patents

Rådets fælles holdning med henblik på vedtagelse af Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv om computer-implementerede opfindelsers patenterbarhed
Report on the Council common position for adopting a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the patentability of computer-implemented inventions
Almindelig utilfredshed Forud for afstemningen bemærkede EP's ordfører, Michel ROCARD (PSE, FR), at Parlamentet var delt i spørgsmålet, og at alle politiske grupper havde besluttet at forkaste forslaget på grund af usikkerhed om det endelige resultat.
Before the vote, rapporteur Michel ROCARD (PES, FR) said Parliament was split fifty-fifty on the issue and all political groups decided to reject the text rather than risk a result they could not accept.
Han tilføjede, at "der er almindelig utilfredshed i Parlamentet med den måde, hvorpå Kommissionen og Rådet har behandlet denne sag."
He added: " There is collective anger throughout the Parliament because of the way the directive was handled by the Commission and the Council, " recalling the contested approval of the common position.
