Ole B. Sørensen opfordrede på denne baggrund EP-formand Pat COX til at tage initiativ til en løsning på konflikten.
Baroness Sarah LUDFORD (ELDR, London)asked the President of Parliament to write to the Governor of Texas and President Bush following the execution of Jackie Elliott.

Fri bevægelighed for EU-borgere:Forenkling i lovjunglen
Residence rights - MEPs vote to include partners
Ordfører Giacomo SANTINI (PPE-DE, I)
Giacomo SANTINI (EPP-ED, I)
Forslag til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv om unionsborgeres og deres familiemedlemmers ret til at færdes og opholde sig frit på medlemsstaternes område
Report on the proposal for a European Parliament and Council directive on the right of citizens of the Union and their family members to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States
Den fælles beslutningsprocedure – Førstebehandling (***I)
Procedure : Codecision procedure (1 st reading)
Grundprincippet er, at EU-borgerne alt andet lige skal kunne rejse mellem medlemsstaterne på samme måde som den pågældende medlemsstats egne statsborgere, der færdes frit og skifter bopæl eller arbejde i deres eget land.
MEPs include the spouse of the same sex, the registered partner and the unmarried partner, irrespective of sex, in that definition of a family member, if the host and/or home country treat those couples in the same manner as married couples (14,15,16).
Yderligere administrative eller lovgivningsmæssige forpligtelser bør begrænses til det, der er strengt nødvendigt.
Furthermore, the EP adopts an amendment stating that the Member States are to facilitate the entry and residence of other family members if there are serious health or humanitarian grounds for doing so (20).
Det nye direktivforslag samler disse kategorier i en retsakt.
This means each former spouse must be employed, self employed, have sufficient means, be admitted to a vocational training course in the host country, or be a relative of somebody else who fulfils these criteria.
For de erhvervsaktive - dvs. arbejdstagere og selvstændige erhvervsdrivende - er den eneste betingelse for retten til ophold, at de har erhvervsmæssig beskæftigelse, hvilket blot skal fremgå af en erklæring.
However, if a spouse is not a national of a Member State, then divorce may lead to an end to the right of residence if the marriage has lasted for less than two years (compared to five years in the Commission proposal) (50).
"Familiemedlemmer" For ikke-erhvervsaktive personer bevares betingelsen om, at de skal råde over tilstrækkelige midler og være omfattet af en sygeforsikringsordning i de første 4 år i værtslandet.
MEPs agree with the Commission that the validity of residence permits must not be affected by absences from the host country for compulsory military service, serious illness, pregnancy and childbirth (55).
I Santini-betænkningen går EP ind for at udvide definitionen af "familiemedlemmer" til registrerede partnere og ugifte partnere.
The proposed directive foresees restrictions on the right of entry and of residence on grounds of public security or public health.
Dette ændringsforslag nr. 4 blev vedtaget med 278 stemmer mod 240, medens 3 undlod at stemme.
MEPs prolong the time allowed to lodge an appeal against a decision to restrict residence on these grounds, from a minimum of 15 to a minimum of 30 days (82).
EP vedtog det ændrede direktivforslag med 272 stemmer mod 231, medens 37 undlod at stemme.
Those who want to lodge an appeal should have the same right to judicial protection as have the national citizens (83).
Santini-betænkningen blev vedtaget med 269 stemmer mod 225, medens 46 undlod at stemme.
Finally, the European Parliament postpones the date from which all Member States must apply the directive with one year to 1 July 2004, since this is more realistic (93).
Definitionen af "familiemedlemmer" var et følsomt og kontroversielt emne under debatten.
He gave some background to the proposed directive stating its origins lay in the "High Level Group on free movement and EU citizenship" set up in the late 1990s under the chairmanship of Simone VEIL.
I betænkningen fra EP-udvalget om borgernes frihedsrettigheder - som var udarbejdet af den italienske PPE'er Giacomo SANTINI - går man ind for at udvide definitionen af "familiemedlemmer" til registrerede partnere og ugifte partnere.
He pointed out that free movement of citizens and the right of residence were fundamental principles enshrined in the EU Treaties, and said that these principles had been confirmed in the Charter of Fundamental Rights.
Den portugisiske EU-kommissær Antonio VITORINO pegede på, at der stadig er mange hindringer for fri bevægelighed - hvilket ses af de mange domme fra EU-domstolen omkring fri bevægelighed for personer.
Moving to the content of the proposed directive, he said the aim was to reduce the administrative formalities which hinder free movement from one Member State to another.
Kvalitativt spring fremad Ordføreren Santini fastslog, at direktivet er et kvalitativt spring fremad , og at det danner grundlaget for det dobbelte borgerskab - det nationale borgerskab og EU-borgerskabet.
Further, the proposed directive would increase the amount of time from 3 to 6 months that a citizen would not need to obtain a residence permit, as a valid ID card or EU passport would suffice.
Definitionen af "familiemedlem" skal reguleres af hvert enkelt medlemslande efter dets egne nationale regler - altså efter nærhedsprincippet , fastslog Santini.
He also stated that the proposed directive incorporated some of the recent case law of the European Court of Justice and he looked forward to its final adoption by the Member States.
Under ordførerrunden sagde den østrigske PPE'er Hubert PIRKER , at dette er et stort skridt fremad i retning af at gøre fri bevægelighed for personer til en ægte realitet, og man bør fjerne alle administrative hindringer.
Supporting the Commission's new proposal, Giacomo SANTINI (EPP-ED, I), reporting for the Citizens Rights Committee, saw it as an important development in recognising individual rights in the EU.
Definitionen af "familiemedlemmer" er kun en detalje, som ikke må forstyrre debatten.
He recognised, however, that there were problems over, for example, the definition of family and here he was in favour of leaving any contentious issue to national legislation.
Forskellige lande har forskellige regler, og ingen definition af "familiemedlemmer" skal trækkes ned over hovedet på andre EU-lande , fastslog Pirker.
Manuel MEDINA ORTEGA (PES, E), reporting for the Legal Committee, too endorsed the proposal as a step forward and supported the abolition of administrative restrictions.
Den spanske socialist Anna TERRÓN i CUSÍ var enig i, at direktivet er et fremskridt i den rigtige retning, og hun pegede på, at den fælles valuta euroen bidrager til at fremme denne proces.
For the Women's Committee, Anna KARAMANOU (PES, GR) was anxious to ensure that there would be no discrimination, and she raised the issue of women who were economically dependent on their spouse and could face difficulties over residence rights in the event of a marriage coming to an end.
Progressive definition Ole B. SØRENSEN fra Venstre understregede, at den liberale gruppe støtter forslaget, som vil styrke unionsborgerskabet , ligesom det vil tydeliggøre retstilstanden .
Hubert PIRKER (EPP-ED, A), too supporting the proposal on behalf of the EPP/ED group, agreed on the need for national legislation to deal with the sensitive issue of the definition of the family.
Direktivet er et skridt i den rigtige retning, og det vil bidrage til at overvinde praktiske hindringer for fri bevægelighed.
Anna TERRÓN i CUSÍ (PES, E), reporting for the PES Group, saw the measure as a means of strengthening European identity among citizens.
Ole B. Sørensen oplyste, at han kunne støtte den progressive definition af "familiemedlemmer".
It would also be helpful in the case of people living in two countries with holiday homes in another EU state, by strengthening their rights.
Han understregede dog, at diskussionen om familiedefinitionen ikke må aflede opmærksomheden fra det positive ved forslaget.
Ole B. SØRENSEN (D) for the ELDR group, welcomed the position adopted in the Citizens' Rights Committee, and felt that the directive would consolidate, strengthen and clarify existing directives in this area.
Den hollandske grønne Kathalijne BUITENWEG understregede, at direktivet burde have været på plads for længe siden, idet det jo drejer sig om fri bevægelighed for EU-borgere.
Kathalijne Maria BUITENWEG (NL), for the Greens/EFA group, said that many EU citizens would have thought this directive unnecessary, as free movement should have been guaranteed much earlier.
Hun fastslog, at det afgørende er, at familiemedlemmer føler ansvar for hinanden, og myndighederne må ikke ødelægge familielivet blot fordi der mangler papir på det.
On the definition of the family, she welcomed the extension in the proposed directive and also supported the principle of mutual recognition for same sex relationships.
Mindre bureaukrati Den hollandske EDD'er Hans BLOKLAND sagde, at hvis en hollænder arbejder og bor i Frankrig, så føler han sig ikke som EU-borger, men blot som en hollænder, der arbejder i Frankrig.
For the EDD group, Hans BLOKLAND (EDD, NL), on the other hand, contended that the directive was going too far and impinged on the rights of Member States in respect of the right of residence and access to a particular Member State.
Det vigtige i forslaget er, at vi nu får mindre administrativt bureaukrati.
Robert EVANS (PES, London) pointed out the anomaly that it was easier to move goods and capital around the EU than allowing EU citizens to reside where they desired in the EU.
Udstedelse af visum ved grænsen:Søfolk i transit - "kollektivt visum"
The directive, he said, would assist the creation of a "common market for people" and reduce the excessive red tape in this field.
Ordfører: Anna KARAMANOU (PSE, GR)
He wanted it to be as easy for EU citizens to move from one Member State to another as it is for US citizens to move from one US state to another.
Initiativ fra Kongeriget Spanien med henblik på ændring af Schengen-reglerne vedrørende udstedelse af visum ved grænsen, herunder udstedelse af visum til søfolk
However, he said that the UK government was concerned that Member States should still have the right to exclude people from entering Member States for reasons of national security and claimed that a small minority would exploit the directive through marriages of convenience.
EP vedtog en betænkning af den græske socialist Anna KARAMANOU om et spansk initiativ til at forenkle den uensartede lovgivning om udstedelse af visa ved grænsen - herunder visum til søfolk i transit.
Taking up the question of the definition of a family or partnership, she put forward an approach based on mutual recognition of national practices which, as she put it, would allow a Swedish gay couple residence rights on moving to, for example, Italy.
Forslaget til forordning indfører en ny bestemmelse om, at søfolk i transit, der rejser i grupper på 5-50 personer af samme nationalitet kan få udstedt en visummærkat, der omfatter alle i gruppen - dvs. et "kollektivt visum" .
Michael CASHMAN (PES, West Midlands) too supported her approach here, pointing out that he himself had been living in a stable single sex relationship for 20 years, yet his partner would not be given the same rights if he moved to Belgium.
Karamanou-betænkningen blev vedtaget med 428 stemmer mod 14, medens 32 undlod at stemme.
It was, he said, far better to encourage an open and honest approach rather than leaving the way for clandestine developments such as marriages of convenience.
Gele-minibægre:E 425 konjac
Parliament calls for review of safety levels of food additives
Ordfører: Marit PAULSEN (ELDR, S)
Marit PAULSEN (ELDR, S)
Forslag til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv om ændring af direktiv 95/2/EF for så vidt angår betingelser for anvendelse af tilsætningsstoffet E 425 konjac
Report on the proposal for a European Parliament and Council directive amending Directive 95/2/EC as regards the conditions of use for a food additive E 425 konjac
EP vedtog en betænkning af den svenske liberale Marit PAULSEN , hvori man godkender et direktivforslag fra Kommissionen om at trække tilladelsen til at anvende tilsætningsstoffet E 425 konjac i minibægre med gele tilbage.
Parliament voted today, by 516 votes to 6, with 10 abstentions, to support the Commission's proposal for a permanent ban on the food additive E 425 konjac in jelly confectionery following reports that jelly mini-cups containing it pose a risk of death by choking, particularly to children and old people.
Baggrunden er, at adskillige børn og ældre i tredjelande er blevet kvalt af disse gele-minibægre .
The House amended the proposal to bring forward the ban to six months after the directive enters into force.
Paulsen-betænkningen blev vedtaget med 516 stemmer mod 6, medens 10 undlod at stemme.
The House rejected two amendments calling on the Commission to review the safety levels for all food additives and amend them where necessary, particularly with a view to their effects on children's health, after the reporter, Marit PAULSEN (ELDR, S) obtained assurances before the vote from Commissioner Patten, speaking for Health and Consumer Safety Commissioner Byrne, that the Commission would carry out such a review, in accordance with the existing legislation.

Belarus:Utrøstelig situation!
Belarus urged to take the road to democracy
Ordfører: Pedro MARSET CAMPOS (GUE/NGL, E)
Pedro MARSET CAMPOS (EUL/NGL, E)
EP vedtog en betænkning af den spanske GUE'er Pedro MARSET CAMPOS, hvori man udtrykker bekymring over Belarus' tiltagende isolation som følge af præsidentens autoritære og antidemokratiske kurs, som kan forvandle landet til et arnested for ustabilitet og usikkerhed i hele regionen.
Parliament adopted a resolution demonstrating its concern at the increasing isolation into which Belarus is sinking, Parliament issued an appeal to the authorities of that country to make economic and political reforms so that a partnership and co-operation agreement can be finalised with the EU.
I maj 2004 bliver Belarus - Hviderusland - et naboland til EU , idet landet grænser op til Litauen, Letland og Polen.
Parliament has maintained since 1996 that no bilateral agreement should be signed until the Belarus authorities show they have a clear intention of respecting human rights.
Desværre har Belarus udviklet sig i en på alle måder negativ retning i de senere år.
The resolution criticises the authoritarian course charted by President Lukashenko and attacks the repressive policies of his regime.
Diktatoriske træk OSCE's repræsentation har ikke fået forlænget sin opholdstilladelse i Minsk, hvor en autoritær styreform med diktatoriske træk hersker under en fernis af demokratiske friheder.
It expresses concern at the increasing impoverishment of the population and calls on the opposition parties to seize the opportunity afforded by the forthcoming elections in March 2003 to join forces and mobilise public opinion.
Det har bevirket, at både OSCE og Europarådet afviser at optage Belarus.
MEPs also reaffirm their support for the humanitarian aid programmes for victims of the Chernobyl disaster, which has affected 30% of the territory of Belarus.
EP mener, at Kommissionen bør udarbejde en konsekvent og målbevidst strategi, som tager udgangspunkt i en progressiv og "differentieret associeringsmodel" , som vil være gunstig for indførelse af demokratiet og overvindelse af den økonomiske og sociale krise, Belarus befinder sig i.
The European Parliament adopted a resolution by 428 votes in favour, 14 against with 32 abstentions which agrees with the Spanish initiative that ‘tidies up’ the disparate legislation governing the issue of visas at borders and that introduces a group visa for groups of seafarers (5 to 50 persons).
Under debatten sagde Pernille FRAHM fra SF, at det var en utrolig god betænkning, som har vores fulde opbakning.
The European Parliament deletes the provision that all seamen in a group must have the same nationality in order to obtain such a visa (2,16).
Skal Hviderusland blive EU-medlem - hvad jeg håber - kræver det en demokratisering af landet.
Furthermore, Parliament wants a visa to be issued at the external border of the Schengen area (instead of through an embassy or a consulate in a third country national’s home country) only if the applicant was unable to apply for a visa at an earlier date (6).
Det er vor opgave som demokrater at støtte de demokratiske bevægelser i landet, så som kirken, fagforeninger og journalister, sluttede Pernille Frahm.

"Lissabon-strategien":Manglende opfølgning i medlemslandene!
Motions for resolutions on the preparation for the 2003 Spring summit (Brussels, 21/22.03.2003)
Beslutningen blev vedtaget med 359 stemmer mod 89 - medens 41 MEP'er undlod at stemme.
At the same time, it regrets the Commission's limiting of the strategy in 2003 to just structural reforms.
EP understreger, at dette EU-topmøde er af afgørende betydning og vil blive vurderet efter, i hvor høj grad det træffer konkrete beslutninger om at afhjælpe manglen på konkrete resultater.
At the same time, it underlines the need to implement such reforms in a way that brings benefits all round and opportunities for all Europe's citizens.
Europa-Parlamentet er stærkt betænkelig ved den udprægede mangel på opfølgning fra medlemslandenes side, og man mener, at der bør fastsættes specifikke nationale mål, så man kan måle og overvåge medlemslandenes resultater .
Furthermore, there is a call for a thorough reform of pensions systems to take account of a growing elderly population and the need for the provision of various options including "top-up" supplementary schemes.
EP understreger vigtigheden af en tidlig gennemførelse og håndhævelse af vedtagen EU-lovgivning i alle medlemslande, så man undgår konkurrenceforvridning.
The resolution also emphasises that any co-ordination of tax policy should reduce the tax burden on labour, encourage private investment and, in particular, SMEs.
"Kronologisk resultattavle"?
At the same time public services should not be neglected.
I beslutningen bekræfter Europa-Parlamentet sin støtte til de strategiske mål i Lissabon, men finder at tiden er inden til
As regard to improving competitivity and the "knowledge-based economy", MEPs support the implementation of the 3% target for investment in R & D and underline the need to reach agreement on the Community Patent.
en øget vægt på gennemførelse og resultater , hvis "Lissabon-målene" skal nås,
There is a call for more priority to be given to developing the "e-Europe 2005 Action Plan" by for example encouraging common standards for new technology developments, in particular in the mobile phone sector.
en mere beslutsom indsat fra det Europæiske Råds side for at afhjælpe manglerne i gennemførelsen af EU's lovgivning i national ret og
In the area of education and training, MEPs want to see more done to promote lifelong learning and the recognition of qualifications.
inddragelse af Europa-Parlamentet i evalueringsprocessen og en styrkelse af dets rolle som medlovgiver.
Sustainable development too can play a vital role and there is a call for national action plans on environment policy to foster, for example, clean technology.
"Iværksættervirksomhed" EP anmoder om, at man fremmer investeringer til fordel for "iværksættervirksomhed" , navnlig på områder som
Moving forward on the basis of "open co-ordination" is another way of encouraging co-operation in areas where the EU does not have legal competence such as pensions and health systems but MEPs emphasise the importance of monitoring to ensure progress here.
miljøvenlig produktion,
As he put it " undeniably, we are now at a turning point.
banebrydende teknologier,
At the same time, in addition to co-ordinating economic policy, he emphasised the need to move forward with the social dimension.
EP er også foruroliget over det store antal overtrædelsesprocedurer for manglende gennemførelse af vedtaget indre marked-lovgivning.
Mr Giannitsis then emphasised the need to update the employment strategy with not only the emphasis on economic reforms but promoting equality issues especially for women and immigrants in certain Member States.
Underbeskæftigede EP opfordrer EU's medlemslande til at øge de underbeskæftigede befolkningsgruppers integration på arbejdsmarkedet, det gælder unge, kvinder, indvandrere, ældre arbejdstagere og handicappede .
Romano PRODI opened his contribution to the Spring European Council by saying that the international climate of uncertainty made it increasingly difficult for the European economy to grow.
Under Europa-Parlamentets debat om "Lissabon-strategien" og det kommende EU-topmøde i Bruxelles 21.-22. marts var der bred enighed om, at nu drejer det sig om handling - og ikke om ord, hvis vi skal nå "Lissabon-målet" om, at Europa inden 2010 skal gøres til den mest konkurrencedygtige og dynamiske vidensbaserede økonomi i verden .
Returning to economic development, Mr Prodi called for greater political will to be shown by the Member States in achieving the Lisbon goals.
Formanden for den liberale gruppe Graham Watson sagde således, at nu må stats- og regeringscheferne lukke svælget mellem det de siger - og det de gør.
He said the gap between the aims set out at Lisbon and legislation implementation remained large.
Der er endvidere lavkonjunktur i mange OECD-lande, samt spændinger og et klima af usikkerhed.
Progress had to be made in the fields of pension reform, the take-over bids directive and reinforcing the European employment strategy to make the EU more competitive.
Derfor er det vigtigere end nogensinde at opretholde "Lissabon-målene" .
President Prodi's message to the House was that the EU could lead the world in terms of its economic policy and that the European social model was indeed a benchmark for the rest of the world.
Vi skal fremme iværksætterlysten og fokusere på forskning, viden, uddannelse og teknologi samt bæredygtig udvikling.
On research, he stressed the importance of creating a genuine European framework for research policy, and for the EU and Member States to create a regulatory and fiscal framework which encourages the growth of entrepreneurship.
