EP erindrer om, at princippet om, at "forureneren betaler" fuldt ud bør anvendes i forbindelse med erstatning for skader på miljøet.
The Commission has proposed an open-ended derogation allowing their continued use but Parliament, which has co-decision powers with Council over this draft regulation, says they can only be used until the end of 2008 and sets a final deadline of 1 January 2009 for banning them, provided no legislation has been passed to continue their use on the basis of a report to be submitted by 1 January 2008.
Borgerkrigen i Sudan har varet i over 19 år, og den har kostet mere end 2 millioner mennesker livet og forårsaget enorme menneskelige lidelser.
The resolutions relate to Supplementary Amending Budget no 5/2002 which was adopted in a single reading.
I en beslutning, som EP vedtog om Sudan, glæder man sig over, at den sudanske regering og SPLA den 15. oktober har undertegnet en aftale om indstilling af fjendtlighederne .
Parliament has always been in favour of a speedy setting up of financial assistance for the regions affected by the floods of the summer 2002.
Menneskerettigheder EU's udviklingsbistand til Sudan blev suspenderet i marts 1990 , og EP fastslår, at en genoptagelse af EU-bistanden bør være betinget af, at der sker fremskridt omkring menneskerettigheder, politiske og religiøse frihedsrettigheder og respekten for retsstaten.
According to the Commission's proposals, €444 million has been allocated to Germany, €134 million for Austria, and €129 million for the Czech Republic all for the August floods in these countries. €21 million has been allocated for France for the Gard region that was badly affected by floods in September this year.

Galicia, Portugal and their coastal waters are facing a major ecological and socio-economic disaster, indeed, Galicia is an Objective 1 region highly dependent on fishing activities, with the result that it is particularly vulnerable to the impact of ecological disasters causing damage to its marine ecosystem and, by extension, its fishery, aqua-culture and shellfish resources.
I en beslutning - som EP vedtog torsdag den 21. november 2002 - giver man udtryk for alvorlig bekymring over de vilkårlige anholdelser, tilbageholdelse, tortur og mord under militær varetægt samt forværringen i menneskerettighedssituationen i Bangladesh som følge af militærets aktion "Clean Heart".

Københavns-topmødet 12.-13. december: EU's udvidelse og de institutionelle ændringer
Council and Commission statements on preparation of the Copenhagen E uropean Council of 12/13 December 2002
Som den danske Europaminister Bertel HAARDER oplyste, så er det tanken, at de nye medlemslande hver får en kommissær uden portefølje i ca. 6 måneder .
The final negotiations, he remarked, had been very tough, with both the Berlin Agreement and the results of the Brussels Summit on the EU budget having to be respected.
Derefter kan det nyvalgte Europa-Parlamentet afholde høringer med de nye kommissærer, som derefter kan godkendes af EP i november 2004 .
He looked forward to giving a new impetus to Romania’s and Bulgaria’s road to accession, setting out clear timetables and detailed plans on pre-accession aid.
Det kræver dog Europa-Parlamentets forståelse.
Mr Haarder welcomed the reforms made by the Turkish government and said that Turkey would be judged on the same criteria as all the other applicant countries.
Flere MEP'er var ikke indforstået med dette forslag, og formanden for EP's forfatningsudvalg italieneren Giorgio NAPOLITANO sagde, at Rådet havde stillet EP over for en "fuldbyrdet kendsgerning".
The Accession Treaties, he recalled, would include details on the number seats in the European Parliament allocated to each Member State as well as the number of votes in Council.
EP-valg 9. maj 2004?
With regard to the European elections, he said he had some sympathy with those people who want to bring forward the date of the elections to 9 th May 2004.
Napolitano understregede, at det var nødvendigt med en interinstitutionel aftale , og han lagde vægt på følgende ting:
However, this would have to be agreed on at the Summit by the Heads of Government.
et minimum af overgangsordninger,
As to the new Commission post-2004, he asked that the new Commissioners from the new Member States not be subject to approval of Parliament as their portfolios may not yet have been allocated.
det er en dårlig ide med særbeføjelser til 10 ny kommissærer , som ikke er legitimerede af EP,
In any case, Mr Haarder said he would appear before Parliament’s Constitutional Affairs Committee on 10 th December to update the Parliament on all these issues.
ifølge Rådets plan får de nye landes indirekte valgte MEP'er kun et møde før EP-valget i juni 2004.
He called on all parties in Copenhagen to show the necessary willingness to compromise in order for enlargement to go ahead successfully.
Derfor er det en god ide at fremskynde valget til fx. den 9. maj 2004 og
It was then the turn of Commission President Romano PRODI to express his hope that outstanding issues could be resolved before the Copenhagen Summit.
Kommissionens mandat bør fremskyndes , så dens mandat udløber samme dato som EP's mandat.
He recognised, however, that there was still problems over agricultural aid and the budget.
Forhandlingspakker Europaminister Bertel Haarder oplyste, at man i sidste uge havde givet hvert af ansøgerlandene en forhandlingspakke, som ligger inden for den finansielle ramme for udvidelsen .
Furthermore, it was, he felt, essential to find a way of ensuring that the new countries would not be net contributors to the EU budget.
De afsluttende forhandlinger er vanskelige, men med den rette vilje til kompromis skal det nok lykkes.
In addition, the candidate countries needed assistance to strengthen the new EU’s external borders in order to comply with Schengen agreements.
Kommissionens "køreplan" for Rumænien og Bulgarien var et godt udgangspunkt, og han håbede, at man kunne beslutte detaljerede tidsplaner for disse 2 lande i København.
He also looked forward to positive agreements on Cyprus and for progress with regards to Bulgaria and Romania, enabling these two countries to accede in 2007.
Bertel Haarder understregede, at de nye medlemslande skal deltage fuldt ud i regeringskonferencen - og de skal have vetoret lige som de gamle medlemslande .
On Turkey, he emphasised that the Commission’s recent report was based on objective information and that the country would be placed on an equal footing with other candidate countries.
Han mindede om, at man i Sevilla havde truffet beslutning om formandskabsfunktionen, og at den første rapport med 3 forskellige modeller ville foreligge i København.
In other words, progress had been made but much remained to be done and, as he put it, ”before we take an irreversible step, we must be sure that Turkey meets all the conditions fully, as we have in the case of the other candidate countries.”
Man har dog ikke til hensigt at træffe beslutning om modellerne.
Commissioner for Enlargement, Günter VERHEUGEN , on the other hand, was far more apprehensive and acknowledged that there was still a considerable way to go before finalising the negotiations with the candidate countries.
Bertel Haarder sluttede med at opfordre til kompromisvilje og at træffe den historiske beslutning om østudvidelsen under EU-topmødet i København.
He made a special plea for the Copenhagen Summit not to be overburdened with too many issues and he urged EU Member States not to be preoccupied with national interests but instead to focus on an agreement where there would be ”only winners” as he put it.
Velstand, frihed og værdighed Formanden for EU-Kommissionen Romano PRODI appellerede til ansøgerlandene om at være realistiske i deres krav i de afsluttende forhandlinger og advarede mod den farlige situation, der kan opstå, hvis tiltrædelsesforhandlingerne kører fast .
He took the view that the current Danish proposals represented a “fair and balanced approach”, although he did acknowledge that the Berlin agreement made provisions for an extra €2bn to be available.
Derfor bør hovedparten af de udestående spørgsmål løses den 9.-10. december inden København.
It was also vital to ensure that the new Member States would not be net contributors to the EU budget, he said.
Prodi mindede om hans og Verheugens møde med Erdogan og fastslog, at det er i vor interesse, at Tyrkiet styrker sine institutioner, demokratiet og retsstaten, og derefter vil Tyrkiet blive vurderet ligesom de andre ansøgerlande .
He looked for positive signals from Cyprus to enable a successful agreement to be negotiated, and he appealed for support from the international community in general to assist this process.
Prodi sluttede med at fastslå, at udvidelsen havde givet håb til Østeuropa, og at den ville føre til velstand, frihed og værdighed i disse lande.
For the EPP/ED, Hans-Gert POETTERING (D) urged EU leaders not to concentrate solely on the issue of Turkey at the forthcoming summit, where the priority should be to overcome last minute hurdles with regard to enlargement.
God ledelse og fremsynethed Den tyske EU-udvidelseskommissær Günter VERHEUGEN fastslog, at det er nødvendigt med god ledelse og fremsynethed - og at vi set i lyset af den historiske dimension ikke må hænge os i småting.
He placed his support for the use of the extra €2bn+ earmarked in the Berlin agreement.
Han understregede, at målet er, at der ikke bliver nogen tabere i København - Europa skal være vinderen.
It would, he said, be particularly tragic if there was a failure to reach an accord with Poland.
Barón kritiserede Rådets beslutninger vedrørende EP umiddelbart efter udvidelsen , og han mente ikke at det var seriøst med 10 nye kommissærer, der blot render rundt i korridorerne i 1/2 år.
However, he was critical of the Commission and the Council over the question of changing the length of the Commission’s mandate with the significance this had for the date of the European elections.
I forlængelse heraf sagde EP-formand Pat COX, at der ikke vil blive truffet nogen endelig beslutning om Europa-Parlamentet, uden at EP bliver spurgt.
Pat Cox clarified that no definitive decision would be taken on the date of the European elections without Parliament being fully consulted.
Duff var af den opfattelse, at Tyrkiet bør tilbydes en dato for åbningen af tiltrædelsesforhandlingerne , men på betingelse af, at de tyrkiske-cyprioter accepterer en cypriotisk føderation.
Mr Duff urged the European Council to give a date for Turkey to start enlargement negotiations on the condition that Turkish Cyprus agreed the UN plans for a Cypriot federation.
Følgagtighed over for USA Pernille FRAHM fra SF roste det danske EU-formandskab for at det havde løsladt Zakajev , ligesom man havde ydet et stort arbejde omkring udvidelsen.
Furthermore, he said it was the European Council’s responsibility to decide the final borders of the EU and not the President of the European Convention.
Hun roste også ansøgerlandene, og håbede ikke at deres vælgere ville sammenholde EP's debat om Revisionsrettens årsberetning om penge med folkeafstemningerne, for hun håbede på et ja.
For the GUE/NGL group, Pernille FRAHM (DK) praised the Danish Presidency for starting to work on the outstanding issues before the official start of the Summit, but warned that no one had crossed the finishing line yet.
Pernille Frahm understregede, at tiden ikke er inde til at give Tyrkiet en dato , men derimod en køreplan med konkrete krav og tidsfrister.
She was opposed to giving a Turkey a start date for negotiations but suggested giving Turkey deadlines for reform.
Pernille Frahm var skuffet over, at det danske formandskab ikke havde gjort noget for at forbedre ombudsmandens statut , så han får udleveret de dokumenter han beder om - dette er en oplagt dansk mærkesag.
Mrs Frahm was disappointed with the Danish Presidency attitude towards Iraq, and warned that opposition movements should not be placed on lists of terrorist organisations.
Den franske grønne Daniel COHN-BENDIT fastslog, at vi bør være seriøse over for Tyrkiet, og Tyrkiet hører ikke hjemme i Europa.
With regard to Turkey, he said a decision could not yet be taken but called for the Turkish, former winner of the Sakharov Prize, to be welcomed at the next plenary session in Strasbourg.
Derfor skal USA ikke blande sig i spørgsmålet om tyrkisk EU-medlemskab .
Liam HYLAND (Leinster) for the UEN group was another speaker to recognise the true historic importance of the Copenhagen Summit.
Clinton havde jo også foreslået, at Rusland skulle være EU-medlem.
He was also of the opinion that the Commission should give a start date for negotiations with Turkey.
Men så kan vi lige så godt kræve, at Mexico og Canada skal med i USA, sluttede Cohn-Bendit.
Jens-Peter BONDE (EDD, DK) underlined the need for the new Member States to be placed on an equal footing with present EU countries in the negotiations on a new constitution and to be given equal voting rights.
Den irske UEN'er Liam HYLAND roste det danske formandskab for lederskab og initiativerne i forbindelse med det store historiske projekt, som vil opfylde vor sande europæiske skæbne.
He appealed for the Commission’s current mandate also to be put back so that the new European Parliament could endorse proposed new Commissioners.
Delstater i ny forbundsstat?
He too wanted to see the new states participating in the IGC.
Jens-Peter BONDE fra JuniBevægelsen glædede sig over, at Europa vokser sammen, det er godt.
Gary TITLEY (PES, North West) issued a warning that there was a possibility that all could be lost if the negotiations were to be divided up into minute detail.
Men ansøgerlandene, der siger ja til EU bliver delstater i en ny forbundsstat .
He warned that if the negotiations were to go wrong in Copenhagen, enlargement would be delayed by a generation.
Hvis ansøgerlandene bekræfter EU-medlemskabet ved folkeafstemninger, så bør de have samme vetoret, som de gamle medlemslande.
He also stated that the EU should not let one single country block enlargement and warned all to think of the bigger picture of uniting Europe.
Vi skal ikke have B-medlemmer - og de skal være ligeberettigede fra den første dag.
He wanted to put to an end to comments that suggested Turkey would be excluded from the EU on the basis that the EU was a ”Christian club.”
Jens-Peter Bonde mindede om, at Danmark havde fået 5 år, inden vi skulle betale fuldt kontingent, og han mente at de fattige østlande kunne være kontigentfrie , så længe de var fattige.
The Commission would be able to take office, he said, in August or September after full hearings of individual Commissioners in the Parliament.
Binde sløjfen i København!
This system, he remarked, would avoid Commissioners having to work for a short period without portfolio.
Europaminister Bertel Haarder afrundede debatten.
Replying to the debate, Mr Haarder stressed the importance of the Copenhagen Summit succeeding.
Han understregede, at det er tid at handle nu - det skal lykkes.
He also underlined the need to send a positive signal to Turkey but it would be for the Member States to decide exactly what that signal would be.
Han fastslog, at optagelsesforhandlingerne med Tyrkiet kan starte, når Københavns-kriterierne er opfyldt, men det er de ikke i dag.
He agreed with Members of Parliament who stated that it was important to stick to the agreed budget ceilings and commented furthermore that if only 9 of the 10 candidate countries were ready and willing to join, then that would be the case.
Men det er nødvendigt at give Tyrkiet et positivt signal i København.
With regard to the new Commission and Parliament in 2004, he stated that several options were still on the table.
Haarder understregede, at vi ikke må overbelaste dagsordenen i København, og at vi ikke kan lægge et par mia. euro oveni tilbuddene - idet nogle medlemslande mener, at vi allerede har været for gavmilde.
In his reply to the debate, Commissioner Verheugen emphasised that it was necessary to look closely at existing EU rules to ensure that the poorer new countries would indeed benefit in budgetary terms from EU membership.
Haarder sluttede med at fastslå, kunsten er enighed - og vi skal binde sløjfen i København, hvor også ansøgerlandene skal slå til, medens tid er.
As to the transitional arrangements for the new Commission, while he recognised the points made in the debate, he felt the 1 November was a practicable suggestion as a date for swearing in the new Commission President.
Mundtlige forespørgsler af Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (PSE, E), Martin SCHULZ (PSE, D), Othmar KARAS (PPE-DE, A) og Klaus-Heiner LEHNE (PPE-DE, D)
Oral question to Council by Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (PES, E) and Martin SCHULZ (PES, D) on the Statute of Members
Der var stillet 2 enslydende mundtlige forespørgsler om en statut/vedtægt for MEP'erne .
He refuted the allegation of other political groups that the PES was blocking progress on the Statute.
Ordlyden var: "Er Rådet indstillet på - på stats- og regeringschefplan - at gå ind i en dialog med Europa-Parlamentet om modaliteterne for vedtagelse af medlemsstatutten?".
While committing himself to maintaining dialogue with Parliament on this question, and indeed recognising certain legal problems, he said that Council favoured a solution based on recognising the right of Member States with regard to taxation and full transparency providing for expenses to be reimbursed on actual costs incurred.
Værdighed og respekt i offentligheden!
He welcomed Council’s positive response.
Ifølge EU-traktatens art. 190, stk. 5 tilkommer det EP at fastsætte statutten efter Rådets godkendelse.
Graham WATSON (ELDR, South West), on the other hand, was adamant that the question to Council was merely a blocking device designed to hold up progress.
Haarder mindede om, at når Nice-traktaten træder i kraft, så kan Rådet godkende statutten med kvalificeret flertal - dette gælder dog ikke beskatningsordningen .
He felt Parliament’s President, Pat Cox, should be entrusted with the mandate of reaching an agreement with Council and he urged Members to support the alternative motion for resolution supported by the Liberal Group advocating a statute providing for equal treatment and for transparency.
Den 3. december 1998 vedtog EP en beslutning om statutten, men Rådet havde endnu ikke taget stilling til centrale elementer i statutten.
He too called for agreement as early as possible and called for Members to support the joint draft resolution from the ELDR, GUE/NGL and Greens/EFA group, and not to agree to elements that would prove legally impossible for Council to enforce.
Afgørende krav Bertel Haarder fastslog, at man må stille nogle afgørende krav til statutten :
MEPs, he underlined, should also continue to be paid by Member States.
der skal være overensstemmelse mellem statutten og regler om immunitet og privilegier ,
Travel expenses should be refunded on actual costs incurred and daily allowances, as a supplement to an MEP’s income, for attendance in Brussels and Strasbourg could be subject to an EU tax.
den skal respektere kravet om enighed i Rådet omkring beskatningsordningen og
He too stressed the importance of reaching an agreement before the end of this legislature.
der skal være gennemsigtighed omkring godtgørelse af de faktisk afholdte udgifter .
She too stressed that there was no consensus within the House on the proposed statute, but proposed amendments to motions to be voted tomorrow if supported by the House, she commented, would allow swift progress and agreement before the end of the legislature.
Bertel Haarder fastslog, at udspillet fra EP's retsudvalg i april ikke opfylder dette.
He did not feel Council had given an adequate reply, to which Mr Haarder, in his response, once again emphasised that Council was prepared to continue the dialogue with Parliament.
Han understregede, at han ville støtte alle bestræbelser, som indebærer en acceptabel løsning for EP og Rådet.
He urged MEPs to support President Cox’s initiative.
Bolden ligger hos EP , sluttede Haarder.

EU-Kommissionens oplæg til Konventet: Et mere demokratisk, effektivt og gennemsigtigt Europa
Commission statement on the Commission ’s contribution to the work of the European Convention
Prodi understregede, at formålet med oplægget er at skabe et mere demokratisk, effektivt og gennemsigtigt Europa og at skabe det første ægte overnationale demokrati i verden , der både er en union af befolkninger og en union af stater.
In his submission, Mr Prodi emphasised the importance of following in the footsteps of the founding fathers such as Jean Monet, and ensuring that more EU decision making at an institutional level would be made on the basis of the ”Community method” i.e. by a triangle between Council, Commission and Parliament and not on the basis of intergovernmentalism.
Mistillidsvotum Ifølge Kommissionens forslag skal formanden for Kommissionen fremover vælges af Europa - Parlamentet med 2/3-flertal .
Other reforms being proposed include the election of the Commission President by a two-thirds majority of MEPs in a secret ballot.
Rådet og Kommissionsformanden skal sammen udpege de øvrige kommissærer, og derefter skal EP godkende hele den nye Kommission.
The new President, together with Council, would then choose a team of Commissioners and this would be submitted for approval by the European Parliament.
Prodi foreslog også, at både Rådet og Europa-Parlamentet skal have mulighed for at stille mistillidsvotum til Kommissionen.
Both Parliament and Council should have the right to pass a motion of censure on the Commission, he said.
Dobbelt flertal i Rådet!
He called for the President to visit the region.
Kommissionen foreslår, at alle EU-love skal vedtages ved flertalsafstemninger i Rådet og medbestemmelse til Europa-Parlamentet .
He broadly welcomed the Commission’s proposals on the Convention; his group, he said, was in favour of extending co-decision, in favour of the President of the Commission being elected by the European Parliament, and in favour of further harmonising electoral systems for the European elections.
EP skal have mere magt over økonomien, og sondringen mellem obligatoriske og ikke-obligatoriske udgifter skal afskaffes.
However, he did not agree that the Council should have the power of censure over the Commission.
Prodi foreslog endvidere at
He was surprised to see that there was no mention of media pluralism in the Commission’s contribution.
man indfører dobbelt flertal i Rådet , idet enstemmighed vil lamme et EU med 25 medlemslande,
Andrew DUFF (Eastern), for the Liberals, strongly welcomed the Commission’s contribution to the Convention on the future of Europe.
man vælger en formand for EU og at rotationssystemet bibeholdes og
He remarked that this would act as a challenge to certain Heads of State and Government who were working on the sidelines of the Convention rather than offering concrete proposals.
man udnævner en ny EU-udenrigsminister , som er udnævnt af Rådet, og som samtidig er næstformand i Kommissionen.
He felt that many of the proposals were similar to his personal draft of a federal union for Europe.
"Call back" Prodi understregede, at man bør forenkle EU-lovgivningen , som med sine beslutninger, direktiver og forordninger udgør en barriere for borgerne for at kunne forstå EU.
He agreed that the idea of a strengthened Council President should be rejected and welcomed the merging of Commissioner Patten’s and High Representative Solana’s positions into a single role within the Commission.
