EP konstaterer, at OLAF's svagheder på ingen måde kan undskylde fejl og kommunikationsproblemer i Kommissionen.
And Parliament wants to ensure better protection of whistle-blowers and the possibility for EU civil servants to address OLAF directly, without informing their own superiors.
I Bösch-betænkningen peger man på, at Kommissionen ved sin tiltrædelse i offentlige erklæringer har foreskrevet en "nul-tolerance-politik" for svig og uregelmæssigheder , men at det hidtil i vidt omfang ikke er lykkedes for den at gennemføre dette i praksis.
The anti-fraud office should also carry out a detailed analysis of those sectors in which most investigations have been launched, namely the structural funds, trade, customs, aid, agriculture and direct expenditure.

Merida/Mexico: FN-konvention mod korruption:"Antikorruptionskultur" i EU?
European Governance - Call to further European Parliament's powers
Ordfører: Francesco RUTELLI (ELDR, I)
Margrietus van den BERG (PES, NL)
EP vedtog en betænkning af den italienske liberale Francesco RUTELLI om en meddelelse fra EU-Kommissionen om "en samlet EU-politik mod korruption".
Parliament reiterates its view that, while the aim of improving the quality of legislation, transparency and opening up the institutions to " organised civil society " (i.e. professional, trade union and business sectors) and to citizens as a whole is a worthwhile exercise, it cannot be a substitute for citizens' access to public power by means of open and increasingly democratic electoral processes.
Den 9.-11. december 2003 afholdes der en undertegnelseskonference i Merida/Mexico, hvor man skal undertegne en FN-konvention mod korruption.
The resolution is critical of the fact that there is still no single uniform on-line contact point for all EU institutions where members of the public could monitor the formulation of policy proposals throughout the decision-making process.
Rutelli-betænkningen blev vedtaget med 455 stemmer mod 12 - medens 42 undlod at stemme.
They also want to see an Interinstitutional Agreement laying down uniform minimum rules for consultation for all institutions.
"Name and shame" Europa-Parlamentet opfordrer Kommissionen til at indføre en politik, hvor de medlemslande, som ikke har opfyldt deres forpligtelser til at ratificere de internationale konventioner om antikorruption nævnes ved navn - "name and shame".
It also expresses the hope that, as proposed in the draft constitution, a reinforced EU would also be able in future, through a common European diplomatic service headed by its foreign minister, to represent the principles of better global governance on the international stage.

Green light for European health insurance card
Ordfører: Michael CASHMAN (PSE, UK)
Anne Elisabet JENSEN (ELDR, DK)
EP vedtog en betænkning af Michael CASHMAN (PSE, UK) om international hjemtransport ved dødsfald i en anden medlemsland end oprindelseslandet.
For this reason, MEPs adotped only a few amendments to the Commission's draft regulation which seeks to pave the way for the introduction of such a card by amending existing legislation.
- Forslag til Den Europæiske Unions ændringsbudget nr. 6/2003 for regnskabsåret 2003
Other amendments serve to clarify certain points.
Sektion III - Kommissionen
During the debate, Commissioner DIAMANTOUPOULOU informed the House that the Commission could accept all the amendments.
- Forslag til Den Europæiske Unions ændringsbudget nr. 7/2003 for regnskabsåret 2003
The new standard personalised card will sweep away all these forms that people now have to obtain from their health insurance authorities.
EP vedtog 2 betænkninger af den svenske socialdemokrat Göran FÄRM , hvori man uden ændringer vedtager ændringsbudget nr. 6 og 7 for 2003.
However, before the card can be introduced, the existing regulations on the application of social security schemes (EEC/1408/71 and EEC/574/72) need to be amended.
EP udtrykker dog utilfredshed med underudnyttelsen af betalingsbevillingerne til EU's strukturfonde, især bevillingerne til programmerne fra før 2000, og man påpeger, at de udestående forpligtelser beløber sig til 12,8 mia. euro pr. 7. november 2003.
The Commission proposal backed by Parliament would bring the rights of all insured persons covered by the regulations into line and simplify the formalities for insured persons who need care in a state where they are staying temporarily.

Lavere moms:Frisører og CD'er
Organic production of agricultural products
Ordfører: Christa RANDZIO-PLATH (PSE, D)
Danielle AUROI (Greens/EFA, F)
EP vedtog en betænkning af den tyske socialdemokrat Christa RANDZIO-PLATH om et direktivforslag fra EU-Kommissionen om en fortsættelse af ordningen med lavere moms på arbejdsintensive tjenesteydelser.
Parliament adopted a non-binding resolution which supports in general terms the Commission proposal to reinforce the "eco" label by defining what kind of products can be considered as ecological products.
EP mener, at medlemslandene også bør have mulighed for at anvende lavere moms på andre varer og tjenesteydelser - som fx. indspillet musik, herunder CD'er.
The firm Danone, for example, will no longer be able to use the word "bio" for its yoghurts if they are not produced with organic products.

Reduction of emissions from ships
Sociale sikringsordninger:EU-sygesikringskort fra 2004!
Report on a European Union strategy to reduce atmospheric emissions from seagoing ships
EP vedtog en betænkning af Anne Elisabet JENSEN fra Venstre om indførelsen af et EU-sygesikringskort fra 2004.
Parliament adopted a non-binding own-initiative resolution drawn up by in response to the Commission paper on an EU strategy to reduce atmospheric emissions from seagoing ships.
EP vedtog ændringsforslag 8 til 34, medens ændringsforslag 1 til 7 bortfalder.
While agreeing with the Commission's recommendations, MEPs want it to go even further and to consider including polycyclic aromatics (such as PAH) and heavy metals (e.g. Nickel and Vanadium) among the emissions to be covered by the strategy.
Beslutningen om at indføre et EU-sygesikringskort blev truffet på det Europæiske Råds møde i marts 2002.
MEPs note the Commission's intention of identifying and undertaking specific actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from marine shipping if the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) had not adopted a concrete ambitious strategy on this by 2003.
Formålet er, at erstatte de papirformularer, der i øjeblikket kræves i forbindelse med lægebehandling i andre medlemsstater.
The resolution notes with concern that the Commission's proposal on the revision of the 1999 directive on the sulphur content of marine fuels would only reduce sulphur emissions from seagoing ships in European sea areas by about 10%, as compared to their emission level in 2000, and pointed out that emissions needed to be reduced by at least 80% (as Parliament had recommended at its 1st reading in June 2003) in order to achieve the objectives of the 6th Environmental Action Programme.
Der er hermed tale om en forenkling af procedurer for alle parter, herunder borgere, myndigheder og sundhedspersonale.
The Commission is accordingly urged to set more ambitious targets as regards the proposed limit values and the sea areas to be covered and also to analyse the costs and benefits of alternative, more far-reaching abatement measures.
Planen er, at sygesikringskortet skal virke fra 2004, og dermed give alle borgere i EU samme rettigheder .
MEPs also want the Commission to give a stronger commitment to drawing up legislation to reduce NOx (Nitric Oxide) emissions, rather than linking this action to future developments in the IMO.
Succeshistorie med stor signalværdi Under den forudgående debat fremhævede Anne E. JENSEN , at indførelsen af det europæiske sygesikringskort er en succeshistorie med stor signalværdi , der vil bidrage væsentligt til at fremme den fri bevægelighed og give alle borgere samme rettigheder .
Whereas the Commission had pledged only to take such action if the IMO had not proposed tighter international NOx standards for marine engines by the end of 2006, MEPs call on the Commission to present a proposal, before the end of 2004, for NOx emission standards for ships with the aim of reducing NOx emissions from ship engines.

Parliament adopted a non-binding resolution on the conversion of fishing vessels dependent on fishing agreements with Morocco.
Efter fiskeriaftalen mellem EU og Marokko udløb i november 1999, blev de ca. 400 fartøjer og 4300 fiskere (primært fra Andalusien og Sydportugal) tvunget til at stoppe deres aktiviteter.

Ordfører: Danielle AUROI (Verts/ALE, F)
Margrietus van den BERG (PES, NL)
EP vedtog en betænkning af Danielle AUROI (Verts/ALE, F) om EU-Kommissionens forslag til ændring af Rådets forordning (nr. 2092/91) om økologisk produktionsmåde for landbrugsprodukter .
MEPs believe, like the Commission, that all Member States should join the Council of Europe's GRECO (Group of states against corruption) group.
EP er enige om, at økologiske produkter skal mærkes med et logo, der er let genkendeligt for EU-borgerne .
In addition, an independent evaluation system should be set up to assess the proper implementation by the Member States of anti-corruption legislation.
EP understreger, at økologisk landbrug er en specifik og frivillig produktionsmåde, der er omfattet af fundamentalt anderledes regler, end tilfældet er for konventionelt landbrug.
It says that Eurojust and Europol should be the appropriate bodies for ensuring judicial and police co-operation between national authorities.
Endvidere ønsker EP, at give flere EU-midler til forskning i økologisk landbrug , for hermed at kunne afdække dets indvirken på miljø og sundhed.
MEPs also hope that the office of the independent European Public Prosecutor will be set up as soon as possible with powers to investigate and prosecute crimes.
Et politisk kontroversielt ændringsforslag (nr. 12) om at beskytte økologiske landmænd mod påvirkning fra GMO'er (genmodificerede afgrøder) , blev forkastet af EP.
They also call on the Commission to draw up rules for ensuring transparency in political party funding and election expenditure.

Archen-pris til Pat Cox Den tyske PSE'er Martin SCHULZ bifaldt, at Pat Cox næste år vil modtage "Archen-prisen".
He argued that these were unbalanced as they did not mention the years of Soviet occupation or the " Molotov/Ribbentropp pact ."
Denne pris tildeles personer eller institutioner, der har ydet et særligt bidrag til foreningen af Europa.
It would be better, he said, to follow the path taken in London, respecting the differences and diverse heritage of minority communities.
Tidligere modtagere af prisen er bl.a. Valéry Giscard d'Estaing , der tidligere i år fik prisen for sit arbejde som formand for Konventet om Europas fremtid og Helmuth Kohl, der var prismodtager i 1988.
However, he was critical of the US government's proposal to limit contracts for Iraq's reconstruction to those countries who supported the invasion of Iraq, excluding long term allies such as Ireland.
Pat Cox sagde, at han er beæret ved udsigten til at modtage prisen, men at den først og fremmest er en hyldest til Europa-Parlamentet i et valgår.
Roger HELMER (EPP-ED, East Midlands) gave his support to Spain and Poland, since their stance had, he said, led to the failure of the Brussels summit to agree on the draft Constitution.

Council & Commission statements - Meeting of heads of state and/or government on the IGC (Brussels, 12/13 December 2003)
Formanden for Europa-Parlamentet, ireren Pat COX åbnede tirsdagens debat med at fremhæve, at EP har haft et godt samarbejde med det italienske formandskab.
Opening the debate on the IGC and the European Council, President Pat COX reported on some particular issues of concern to Parliament which he had raised at the Summit.
Cox sagde, at det er et fremskridt, at forholdet til USA er blevet forbedret det sidste halve år, men samtidig understregede han, at EP fortsat vil udtrykke bekymring for fangerne på Guantanamo-basen og USA's manglende undertegnelse af Kyoto-protokollen .
He had welcomed the conclusions regarding EU transatlantic relations, noting that Europe's candid friendship with the USA should not exclude raising concerns regarding matters such as Guantanamo Bay and Kyoto.
Cox sagde endvidere, at det er centralt at forpligte Rusland til at underskrive Kyoto-protokollen.
On the IGC, he had raised two points in particular:
EP: ikke en "forhandlingsbrik" Cox sagde, at han under topmødet i Bruxelles, særligt havde påpeget to konkrete problemer, nemlig budgetproceduren og EP's rolle .
regarding the budget procedure, Parliament supported the balanced outcome of the Convention and wholly rejected the undue and unwarranted interference of ECOFIN in these matters.
Herunder kritiserede han ØKOFIN's indblanding i budgetproceduren og betegnede denne som uacceptabel.
He noted that the Council had added more funds to the discretionary budget over the years since 1988 than Parliament.
Endvidere understregede han, at EP ikke skal bruges som "forhandlingsbrik", men derimod respekteres som et seriøst og ansvarligt parlament .
Parliament could be trusted to act responsibly, he concluded.
Han fremhævede, at det manglende resultat ikke er en katastrofe, men derimod en kæmpe udfordring.
President Cox said the failure to agree was a setback but not a calamity.
Forfatningstraktat på højt niveau!
Mr Cox concluded by thanking the Italian Presidency for their cooperation with Parliament over the last months.
Under forelæggelsen af resultaterne af EU-topmødet i Bruxelles 12.-13. december 2003 sagde den italienske ministerpræsident Silvio BERLUSCONI , at det fra starten havde været det italienske EU-formandskabs ønske at nå til enighed om en forfatningstraktat på højt niveau - og at undgå en "discount-løsning".
Italian Prime Minister and President-in-Office of the Council, Silvio BERLUSCONI began by discussing the lack of agreement at the IGC.
Berlusconi ville ikke dramatisere det manglende resultat i Bruxelles eller skyde skylden på nogen.
This had not been achieved; it was necessary to reflect on what to do, without recrimination.
Det var godt, at vi ikke faldt tilbage til dårlige kompromiser , som er uforståelige for borgerne, og som ville have været et tilbageskridt i forhold til Konventsudkastet.
He spoke of the open and transparent approach taken by the presidency in organising the work of the IGC, notably through greater involvement of Parliament's representatives than in the past.
Under regeringskonferencen havde der været uenighed om over 80 emner, og man havde fundet løsninger på stort set alle områder - undtagen det institutionelle.
He stressed that of the over 80 issues of disagreement identified at the beginning of the IGC, almost all had been resolved.
"Struktureret forsvarssamarbejde" Det havde bl.a. været et stort fremskridt, at man var enedes om et "struktureret forsvarssamarbejde" , som var foreneligt med NATO.
A notable success was the area of defence arrangements, where an agreement had been reached which rested on three pillars: operational structures approved by the European Council, an arrangement open to any Member State to join in the future and an autonomous capacity for the EU which would complement NATO's role.
Der var her 3 søjler
Before the Summit, a number of institutional matters remained unresolved, according to Mr Berlusconi: the composition of Parliament and the Commission, the treatment of more subjects by qualified majority voting (QMV) and the voting method for QMV.
uddannelse og det operative,
Progress was made on all of these except for the voting method.
det er muligt for alle lande at slutte sig til og
He noted that there was agreement not to unravel the consensus already achieved, but rather to concentrate future consideration and discussions on the outstanding issues.
europæisk forsvar er ikke en modpol til NATO , men det sker i samarbejde med NATO.
This was a positive note on which to conclude the summit.
I Bruxelles havde de "institutionelle knuder" været de politisk følsomme
Speaking about the European Council meeting, Mr Berlusconi focussed first on economic issues and steps to complete the internal market and relaunch European growth.
beregningen af kvalificeret flertal i Ministerrådet og
The aim was a qualitative leap in the material structures of the enlarged EU, but also to stimulate growth and job creation.
Man havde været tæt på enighed om disse vanskelige punkter, og man var enedes om, at de mindste lande skulle have 5 medlemmer i EP.
Painful sacrifices were needed to relaunch the economy.
Under regeringskonferencen var man nået til enighed om 82 punkter , og dem skal der ikke pilles ved.
He warmly praised the work of the task force led by Wim KOK on employment policy, which had presented useful detailed proposals for each country.
I Bruxelles var vi meget tæt på enighed - idet visse lande havde åbnet en dør.
He described the European economy as a " giant Gulliver held down by Lilipution red tape ."
Men til slut var alle stats- og regeringschefer enige om, at det er nødvendigt med mere tid.
Faced with strong competition from low tax and low regulation economies in the US and Asia, Europe must focus on competitiveness.
Vi vil gerne forhandle videre - og vi skal holde fast i det vi allerede er enedes om.
Turning to issues of the security of Europe's citizens, Mr Berlusconi noted progress and agreement in a number of areas.
EU skal være en politisk kæmpe på den internationale scene, og ikke blot en økonomisk kæmpe.
Member States had agreed on a European agency to reinforce the EU's external borders, which should be up and running by the start of 2005.
