Forslag til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv om ændring af direktivet om en ordning for handel med kvoter for drivhusgasemissioner i Fællesskabet, for så vidt angår Kyoto-protokollens projektmekanismer
MEPs will debate a series of resolutions from the Budgetary Control Committee on the budgetary discharge for the EU's institutions for 2002.
Nu har EU-Kommissionen fremlagt sit forslag til det såkaldte "koblingsdirektiv", der ændrer direktivet om handel med kvoter for drivhusgasemissioner.
In the accompanying resolution MEPs in the committee raise a number of financial control issues where improvement is needed, focusing in particular on problems occurring with funds administered by the Member States.
Fordel for EU's industri Formålet er, at give virksomheder i EU mulighed for at benytte Kyoto-protokollens mekanisme for bæredygtig udvikling (Clean Development Mechanism - CDM) og fælles gennemførelse (Joint Implementation - JI) allerede inden Kyoto-protokollen træder i kraft (Rusland og USA er blandt de lande, der endnu ikke har underskrevet protokollen).
The resolution drafted by Juan José BAYONA DE PEROGORDO (EPP-ED, E) is highly critical of the "shared management" of EU funds, where the Commission decides on funding but delegates the actual payment and control to the Member States.
Dette indebærer, at virksomheder vil kunne udnytte muligheden for at reducere drivhusgasemissioner i andre lande - f.eks. i udviklingslande - til lavere omkostninger end i deres hjemlande.
This is the case in particular with agricultural expenditure and the structural funds.
Tanken er, at det sted, hvor en emissionsreduktion finder sted, er af sekundær betydning, forudsat at reduktionen (på verdensplan) er reel.
MEPs point out that where fraud and irregularities are not discovered or reported, it is the EU budget which bears the cost and not the Member States.
Udvalget ønsker endvidere, at direktivet skal træde i kraft tre år før planlagt (i 2005 i stedet for 2008, hvor Kyoto efter planen skal træde i kraft).
The committee urged that in the new Commission one commissioner should have particular responsibility for infringement procedures, partly in view of enlargement.
Støtter forbud mod kulstofdræn Miljøudvalget støtter Kommissionens forslag om, at indføre forbud mod anvendelsen af kulstofdræn i EU's ordning for handel med emissionskvoter.
The administrative reforms announced by the Commission were deemed by MEPs in the committee to have shown little tangible progress.
De Roo argumenterede for denne position ved at stille et spørgsmål: hvad ville der ske hvis f.eks. en skovplantage brændte ned?
Although they did approve the efforts to establish a " whistleblower's doctrine ", they pointed out that this would only be truly effective if staff are aware of it.
50 % af reduktioner på nationalt plan Miljøudvalget fremsætter en række ændringsforslag og ønsker herunder, at de enkelte medlemsstater selv skal kunne fastsætte begrænsninger for anvendelsen af de fleksible mekanismer (CDM og JI).
The Eurostat affair has shown the need for safeguards against concealment of critical information and for a review of the relations between different services and individual commissioners, says the committee.
Dette ændrer ikke ved den politiske aftale - der blev indgået i Bonn og Marrakech - om, at hjemlige aktioner - selv før handel med emissioner - skal være den primære vej til at opfylde Kyoto-protokollens målsætninger om begrænsninger af emissioner.
It insists that individual commissioners are accountable for the departments under their responsibility and says there should be more effective controls over the payment authorisations issued by directors-general.
EP har i direktivet om handel med emissionskvoter gjort det klart, at mindst 50 % af begrænsningerne af drivhusgasemissionerne skal finde sted på nationalt plan, og højst 50 % kan udfoldes uden for EU.
The Eurostat affair had also demonstrated the need to amend the Financial Regulation so that the Commission would automatically be required to request a full account of the ownership of a firm tendering for a Commission contract.
Det største problem med batterier og akkumulatorer er, at de indeholder tungmetallerne kviksølv, bly og cadmium.
The Budgetary Control Committee asks the Commission to look into the possibility of introducing a more direct link between taxpayers and the EU budget rather than the present system of 'own resources', as there are doubts about the reliability of the VAT and GNI data supplied by Member States.
Ifølge et EU-direktiv fra 1998 er kviksølvholdige batterier forbudt med undtagelse af knapceller til høreapparater og ure .
The committee advocates that the export refund system be abolished, as it is prone to irregularities and shortcomings.
Disse knapceller skal i lighed med batterier, som indeholder over 0,025 % cadmium eller 0,4 % bly indsamles særskilt .
On the structural funds, the resolution points out that payments remain at an unsatisfactorily low rate, leading to a very high EU budget surplus for the third year in a row.
I praksis har indsamlingen udelukkende af de batterier, som indeholder kviksølv, bly eller cadmium, ikke fungeret, idet forbrugerne ikke har skelnet mellem dem.
The main reason is the far slower than expected closure of old programmes.
I en betænkning af den hollandske EDD'er Hans BLOKLAND fremsætter EP's miljøudvalg en lang række ændringsforslag til Kommissionens forslag.
MEPs in the committee also advocate the use of a larger number of NGOs and said that no single NGO or organisation should be able to bid exclusively and receive all the money entered against a budget line.
”Integreret produktpolitik”: Miljø og ”livscyklus-perspektiv”!
European Parliament: the Strasbourg question...
I en betænkning af den svenske PPE’er Anders WIJKMAN N udtrykker EP’s miljøudvalg tilfredshed med Kommissionens meddelelse om ”integreret produktpolitik”.
In a report drawn up by Michiel VAN HULTEN (PES, NL), the Budgetary Control Committee is calling on Parliament's Bureau (which is made up of the President and Vice-Presidents and takes decisions on internal financial, administrative and organisational matters in Parliament) to bring the rules governing the use of money intended to cover the expenditure by political groups more closely into line with the provisions of the Financial Regulation.
Man beklager dog, at den kun indeholder begrænsede retningslinier for, hvordan samfundet kan ledes i retning af systemer for produktudvikling og produktdesign, der reelt er bæredygtige.
Any derogations from the Financial Regulation should be based on sound legal and practical considerations.
Miljøudvalget opfordrer EU-Kommissionen til snarligt at fremlægge et rammedirektiv om ”integreret produktudvikling” – IPP – baseret på en række klart definerede principper og målsætninger.
MEPs in the committee are also calling for accountability to be tightened up in cases where Parliament's political authorities take decisions with significant financial consequences.
Produkter, der ideelt set er ved udløbet af deres livscyklus, bør ikke ende som uanvendeligt affald, men bør opdeles og omdannes med henblik på anvendelse i en ny produktionscyklus,
It refers to the recommendations made by the Court of Auditors that there should be no difference between the travel expenses paid out by Parliament and actual costs incurred by a Member.
Bedre anvendelse af de mange uudnyttede muligheder i forbindelse med vedvarende ressourcer og trinvis nedtrapning af ikke-vedvarende ressourcer,
At the same time, its says the Bureau should devise a system that will be fair to members who are paid less than the average salaries of MEPs from the current 15 Member States.
Fremme af produktion og produktdesign baseret på vedvarende ressourcer, fx. burde hovedparten af emballage fremover være bionedbrydelig,
The discharge report notes that the annual cost to the Parliament of maintaining three places of work (Brussels, Luxembourg and Strasbourg) amounts to €185 million, which could go up to €203 million after enlargement.
Knappe ressourcer – som fx. tungmetaller – bør ikke tillades i stadig større koncentrationer i biosfæren,
The committee therefore advocates amending the EU Treaty so that Parliament and its members can themselves decide where the seat of Parliament should be.
Kemiske stoffer bør anvendes på en måde, så de ikke opløses.
They are asking the Plenary Session to instruct Parliament's president to convey this message to the intergovernmental conference which is negotiating on the constitutional treaty.
Prioriterede farlige stoffer bør enten erstattes af mindre farlige stoffer eller bevares ved nøje kontrolleret oparbejdning i et ”lukket kredsløb”.
The committee says that since most parliamentary activity already takes place in Brussels, the most logical location for a single seat would be Brussels.
Kortsigtede målsætninger!
Other institutions: room for improvement
EP’s miljøudvalg foreslår, at der i de kortsigtede målsætninger i rammedirektivet om ”integreret produktpolitik” fokuseres på en reduktion af drivhusgasemissioner, eurtrofierende og forsurende gasser, energiintensitet, anvendelsen af farlige stoffer og omfanget af udnyttelsen af råstoffer, vand samt affaldsproduktion, og endelig større anvendelse af vedvarende ressourcer.
The committee is proposing granting discharge to various EU institutions other than the Commission and Parliament, although it has strong criticism for the Committee of the Regions, some reservations concerning the Court of Justice and the Court of Auditors and wants a better insight into the Council's operational expenditure in the future.
I Wijkmann-betænkningen fastslår man, at en ”integreret produktpolitik” bør føre til, at både erhvervslivet og forbrugerne lægger vægt på en effektiv udnyttelse af ressourcerne, affaldsminimering, begrænset brug af farlige stoffer og genoprettelse og udvidelse af kapitalen af naturressourcer.
In a report drawn up by Gabriele STAUNER (EPP-ED, D), MEPs in the committee stress the need for a more comprehensive exchange of information with the Council on its budget expenditure.
Dette kræver imidlertid, at ”integreret produktudvikling” baseres på en langsigtet vision om, hvorledes vores industrielle produktionsmodel ændres samt på klart formulerede mål for kortsigtede tiltag på miljøområdet.
They welcome the Council's proposal for an informal dialogue in the course of the discharge procedure.
Forslag til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning om maksimalgrænseværdier for pesticidrester i vegetabilske og animalske produkter
In the case of the Court of Auditors and the Court of Justice , the committee asks Parliament's Budgets Committee not to approve any transfers of funds to these two institutions until they had ended weighting systems for their salaries as well as the mileage allowances for personal use of official cars.
I en betænkning af den britiske konservative Robert STURDY støtter EP's miljøudvalg Kommissions forslag til forordning om maksimalgrænseværdier for pesticidrester i vegetabilske og animalske produkter.
The Committee of the Regions (CoR) was only granted discharge for the previous year this January as there were a number of serious concerns, including over the reimbursement of expenses to Members of the CoR and tendering procedures.
Kommissionen foreslår at konsolidere alle eksisterende EU-direktiver i en retsakt, som skal omfatte alle former for anvendelse af pesticider.
Nevertheless, the draft resolution voices strong criticism and says that the implementation of the reforms would be verified during the discharge procedure for the year 2003.
Samtidig med at der sker en harmonisering af lovgivningen om pesticider for forskellige typer af foder, vil retsakten harmonisere standarderne i de forskellige medlemslande.
MEPs in the committee say a root and branch overhaul of senior management, working methods and respect for internal audit were essential and that they were surprised at the dismissal of the findings and recommendations in the OLAF report, which was very critical.
Det vil gøre det lettere at handle på tværs af grænserne og løse sikkerhedsproblemer.
The committee calls for the necessary steps to be taken to ensure the total independence of the Internal Auditor.
Miljøudvalget fremsætter dog en række ændringsforslag til Kommissionens forslag.
Finally, the Budgetary Control Committee is proposing that discharge be granted to both the European Economic and Social Committee and the Ombudsman .
Forslag til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning om ændring af forordning (EF) nr. 1655/2000 om det finansielle instrument for miljøet (LIFE)
Report on the proposal for a European Parliament and Council regulation amending Regulation (EC) N° 1655/2000 concerning the Financial Instrument for the Environment (LIFE)
LIFE (det finansielle instrument for miljøet) blev indført i 1992 som en af spydspidserne i EU's miljøpolitik.
Launched in 1992, LIFE (The Financial Instrument for the Environment) is one of the spearheads of Community environment policy.
LIFE bidrager til finansieringen af initiativer inden for EU, visse tredjelande, der grænser op til Middelhavszonen og Østersøen samt ansøgerlande i Øst- og Centraleuropa, der har tilsluttet sig programmet.
LIFE cofinances environmental initiatives in the European Union and certain third countries bordering on the Mediterranean and the Baltic Sea and in central and east European accession candidate countries that have decided to participate in LIFE.
Den nuværende forordning (LIFE III) udløber ved udgangen af 2004, og Kommissionen har foreslået at forlænge programmet med yderligere to år.
The current regulation (LIFE III) runs until the end of 2004.
Udvalget fremlægger dog en række ændringsforslag, der særligt beskæftiger sig med de kritiske bemærkninger, Revisionsretten er fremkommet med i forbindelse med sin særberetning om den finansielle forvaltning af LIFE II.
The Commission is proposing to extend this for a further two years before the programme is reviewed more thoroughly for the period of the next financial perspective, beginning in 2007.
Herunder har Revisionsretten opfordret Kommissionen til at sikre, at dobbeltfinansiering undgås.
Parliament will vote on these proposals when it considers a first reading report from Caroline JACKSON (EPP-ED, South West) for the Environment Committee.
Hæve budgettet Endelig foreslår Miljøudvalget at hæve budgettet for de to års forlængelse af LIFE fra 317.2 millioner euro - som foreslået af Kommissionen - til 354 millioner euro.
While accepting the extension, the committee is proposing some amendments aimed in particular at taking into account some concerns raised by the Court of Auditors in its interim report on the scheme, in particular the avoidance of double funding.
Dette for at sikre en tilstrækkelig finansiering af LIFE projekter i tiltrædelseslandene.
MEPs in the committee are also proposing to increase the budget for the two year extension from the €317.2 million proposed by the Commission to €354 million, to ensure there are sufficient funds for LIFE projects in accession countries.

Der var overvejelser om at forkaste Komissionens forslag.
It wants new rules to give consumers more information about their dishwashers and other energy-using products.
EP var især imod
The aim of the directive is to increase the energy efficiency of products such as hairdryers, shavers, washing machines and laptops.
fastlæggelsen af fælles kvantificerbare standarder for forsyningssikkerhed,
The directive applies to a vast range of products, which are responsible for about 40% of CO 2 emissions into the atmosphere.
begunstigelsen af bestemte instrumenter - især gasoplagring,
Almost every imaginable such product is affected except motor vehicles, which are regulated elsewhere.
Kommissionens muligheder for at gribe ind i virksomhedernes kontraktfrihed, især hvad angår langtidsforsyningskontrakter og
These are to be adopted by the Commission, which in turn is to be assisted by a regulatory committee.
en krisemekanisme, der ikke tager hensyn til det ansvarsmæssige hierarki (virksomhederne - medlemsstaterne - Kommissionen).
Unless implementing measures are adopted, no legal obligations flow from the framework directive for manufacturers.
Enighed EP-Råd!
Stand-by losses of all products should also be regulated rapidly.
Ministerrådet har siden tilsluttet sig EP's betænkeligheder og har på alle væsentlige punkter fulgt den linje EP anviste ved sin 1. behandling .
The committee also proposes new consumer information requirements for manufacturers and distributors.
Der bliver taget fuldt hensyn til den grundtanke, at forsyningssikkerheden for naturgas i første række skal sikres af de berørte virksomheder, mens medlemslandene og EU først skal gribe ind i anden og tredje række.
These must ensure that consumers are provided with information on the environmental impact of the product throughout its life cycle, the ecological profile of the product and the benefits of eco-design as well as the role they themselves can play in reducing energy consumption by sustainable use of the product.
Gas transmissionsnet i EU: Adgang for tredjeparter
Kyoto - First reading agreement on Linking directive
Ordfører: Esko SEPPÄNEN (GUE/NGL, FIN)
Alexander de ROO (Greens/EFA, NL)
I de kommende år vil stigningen i energiefterspørgslen i EU-landene blive dækket af naturgas, der produceres uden for EU og transporteres på tværs af grænserne.
Climate change and the Kyoto protocol will be in the spotlight when Parliament votes on the what Committee on Environment has - with rapporteur Alexander DE ROO (Greens/EFA, NL) in lead - negotiated as a first reading agreement on the so called " linking directive " with the Council.
EU's afhængighed af naturgas kan nå helt op på 75 % inden udgangen af 2020.
This will be good news to European industry as it brings the starting date of the directive forward from 2008 to January 2005.
Problemer med at implementere lovgivning Medlemsstaterne har suveræne rettigheder over deres mineralressourcer, men adgangen til deres energitransmissionssystemer foregår gennem det indre marked.
This will enable industry to take advantage of projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in, for example, developing countries right from the start of the EU emissions trading scheme (ET).
Gas- og elmarkedet er i vid udstrækning blevet liberaliseret, men der er fortsat overvejende tale om nationale markeder.
The European Union however is willing to show the way and start to fulfil the obligations of Kyoto to cut down the CO 2 emissions.
Medlemsstaterne har haft problemer med at omsætte direktiver i national lovgivning på områder som åbne og retfærdige nationale markeder og gradvis reduktion af gaspriserne, hvor der er meget store forskelle mellem medlemsstaterne.
This is to be done in the Member States first through national plans and secondly through the so called Kyoto mechanisms (emissions trading, Joint Implementation and Clean Development Mechanisms) which are supplementary to the national plans.
Adgangsbetingelser EU-Kommissionen har fremsat et forslag til en ny forordning, hvori man stiller betingelser for adgang til gastransmissionsnet.
This means that industrialised countries are to take significant action at home to meet their reduction commitments and use the Kyoto Protocol’s mechanisms to meet only part of these commitments.
Derudover oplistes udførlige grundprincipper og gennemførelsesforanstaltninger, der anses for nødvendige for at sikre det indre gasmarkeds funktion.
The linking directive will help European industry to make earlier use of the Kyoto " flexible mechanisms ": Joint Implementation (JI) and the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).
Forslaget skal ses i sammenhæng med det europæiske gasreguleringsforums møde i Madrid i september 2003, hvor man blev enige om tekniske retningslinjer for tredjeparters adgang til gas transmissionsnet.
These allow Member States and industries to meet part of the Kyoto targets by reducing greenhouse gas emissions in other countries - developing countries or countries with economies in transition - at lower cost than at home.
I en betænkning af Esko Olavi SEPPÄNEN (GUE/NGL, FIN) understreger Industriudvalget, at det - i forbindelse med udarbejdelsen af retningslinjer - er vigtigt at sikre en "fuldstændig høring af og samarbejde med alle relevante erhvervsgrupper".
The key issues that remained controversial between the two legislative bodies until last week were the introduction of a cap on the use of JIs and CDMs and the use of carbon sinks (i.e. forest plantations) and large hydroelectric plants.
Hermed understreger udvalget, at manglende harmonisering vil skabe hindringer for den grænseoverskridende handel i det indre marked for gas.
The compromise backs a position on caps that will allow the Member States to lay down limits themselves for the use of flexible mechanisms.
Små og mellemstore virksomheder: 43 mio. euro skal returnes til EU-budget
On carbon sinks, ENVI MEPs backed the Commission in its plan to outlaw their use as JI and CDM.
Ordfører: Paul RÜBIG (PPE-DE, A)
Hans BLOKLAND (EDD, NL)
JEV-program: Fiasko JEV-programmet blev skabt i 1998 som en del af et flerårligt program for små og mellemstore virksomheder (SMV'er), og formålet var at stimulere dannelsen af tværnationale joint ventures mellem SMV'er i EU.
The committee says the collection targets should be amended to percentage targets in order to better reflect the level of consumption, which varies throughout the EU.
JEV-programmet har imidlertid ikke formået at leve op til sin egen målsætning, det er dyrt, langsommeligt, svært at administrere og efterspørgslen fra SMV'er har været lille.
The committee also wants to limit the use of cadmium, lead and mercury in batteries wherever possible.
Også støtte til salg af virksomhed Industriudvalget understreger bl.a., at programmer for SMV'er bør omfatte støtte ved første offentlige udbud eller efterfølgende salg.
It is therefore calling for governments to prohibit sales of all batteries or accumulators containing more than 5 parts per million (ppm) of mercury by weight, 40 ppm of lead, and/or 20 ppm of cadmium.
Hermed signalerer udvalget, at påtrods af at iværksættelse af virksomhed har første prioritet, er det centralt at gøre delvist eller fuldstændigt salg af nye virksomheder lettere for at sikre fortsat virksomhed og beskæftigelse.
A list of exemptions will be provided for applications where the use of these heavy metals is unavoidable - in other words, where no substitutes exist.
Endelig anmoder udvalget Kommissionen om at fremlægge en årlig rapport til EP og Rådet, der evaluerer det flerårige program for SMV'er, samt en tilsvarende afsluttende rapport for 2005 (hvor det nuværende program udløber).
But MEPs in the committee say the list should be reviewed to ensure that it keeps up with latest technological developments, for example if the use of these metals becomes avoidable through the emergence of alternatives.
