EP vedtog, med 640 stemmer for, 22 imod, medens 21 undlod at stemme, et beslutningsforslag om klimaændringer, og sender hermed et klart budskab til den EU-delegation, der vil deltage i forhandlingerne på COP-10 konferencen i Buenos Aires den 6.-17. december.
By adopting a resolution on climate change, by 640 votes in favour, 22 against with 21 abstentions, the European Parliament sent a message to the EU delegation which will take part in the negotiations at the COP-10 Conference in Buenos Aires on the 6-17 December.
EP understreger herunder, at EU fortsat skal indtage en ledende rolle i forhandlingerne om klimaændringer.
MEPs want the EU to maintain its leading role in the negotiations on climate change.
EP mener bl.a., at COP-10, udover at frembyde en god lejlighed til at bygge videre på beslutningerne fra tidligere konferencer om gennemførelsen af Kyoto-protokollen, endvidere giver mulighed for at indlede en bred debat om mulige retningslinjer for 2. forpligtelsesperiode.
Parliament believes that COP-10 constitutes a good opportunity not only to build on the decisions taken at previous Conferences on implementing the Kyoto Protocol, but also to start a wide-ranging debate on the main issues for the second commitment period.
EP bifalder Ruslands beslutning om at ratificere Kyoto-protokollen, hvilket medfører, at protokollen kan træde i kraft.
The House also took the opportunity to welcome the recent decision of the Russian Federation to ratify the Kyoto Protocol, thus enabling it to enter into force.
Endvidere gør EP opmærksom på, at det i den seneste rapport fra Det Europæiske Miljøagentur fremgår, at opvarmningen i Europa foregår hurtigere end verdensgennemsnittet som følge af klimaændringer.
Parliament also reminds the EU delegation that according to the latest report of the European Environment Agency Europe is warming faster than the global average as a result of climate change.
I den forbindelse mener EP, at EU bør forstærke sin indsats for at nå målene i Kyoto-protokollen og hermed statuere et eksempel for de øvrige parter i konventionen.
It believes that the EU should redouble its efforts to meet the Kyoto Protocol targets, and set an example for other parties to the Convention.
Herunder understreger EP den vigtige rolle, som foranstaltninger til øget energieffektivitet og vedvarende energikilder spiller i denne forbindelse.
It especially stresses the importance of energy efficiency and renewable energy sources in this connection.
EP opfordrer derfor Kommissionen til at vurdere mulighederne for lovgivning med henblik på at støtte energiproduktion fra biomasse.
Members call on the Commission to assess legislative measures to support the production of energy from biomass.
Endelig anmoder EP Kommissionen om straks at tage retlige skridt over for de medlemsstater, der ikke opfylder kravene i henhold til direktivet om handel med kvoter for drivhusgasemissioner.
They also urge the Commission to take immediate legal steps regarding the Member States which do not comply with the requirements of the Emissions Trading directive.
Cypern: 259 mio. euro til det tyrkisk-cypriotiske samfund
European Agency for Reconstruction
Mechtild ROTHE (PSE, DE)
Anders SAMUELSEN (ALDE, DK)
Betænkningen blev vedtaget med 618 stemmer for, 39 imod, medens 24 undlod at stemme.
In order to do so, Parliament adopted a report presented by Mechtild ROTHE (PES, D) by 618 votes in favour, 39 against and 24 abstentions.
Efter det negative resultat af folkeafstemningen, anmodede Rådet Kommissionen om at fremsætte forslag om, at anvende de 259 mio. euro, der var afsat i de finansielle overslag for perioden 2004-2006, til "aktivt at bringe isoleringen af det tyrkisk-cypriotiske samfund til ophør".
MEPs also insisted that the Council reach a decision within three months on a related proposal concerning trade relations with the Turkish Cypriot community.
I juli 2004 vedtog Kommissionen en forslagspakke, der bl.a. omfatter oprettelsen af et instrument for økonomisk støtte til fremme af den økonomiske udvikling af det tyrkisk-cypriotiske samfund.
Other amendments aim at facilitating the decision-making of the committee assisting the Commission in the implementation of the financial support and at involving Parliament in all future decisions taken in case of a political settlement between the Greek and Turkish communities on Cyprus.
Lette Cyperns genforening Udover at undgå, at det tyrkisk-cypriotiske samfund indirekte bliver for straffet for det negative folkeafstemningsresultat, er formålet med forslaget endvidere på sigt, at lette Cyperns genforening.
The EU Foreign Affairs Ministers decided, after the negative outcome of the Cyprus referendum, to use the €259 million which had been set aside in case of a political settlement instead to help overcome the isolation of the Turkish Cypriot Community.
Dette skal bl.a. ske ved at fokusere bistanden til den nordlige del af Cypern på tilpasning til EU-retten, navnlig hvad angår investeringer med henblik på efterlevelse af europæiske normer, bl.a. på miljø- og transportområderne.
The European Commission drew up a draft regulation for the implementation of this financial support, and this has now been endorsed by Parliament with a number of amendments.

Det Europæiske Genopbygningsagentur blev oprettet i december 2000.
Since 1998, the Code lays down minimum standards for an arms export control regime.
Det Europæiske Genopbygningsagentur står for EU-bistand til Serbien og Montenegro - herunder Kosovo - og Makedonien.
In this respect, the report calls for each Member State to provide data on the type and quantity of arms supplied and on the total value of exports and the number of licences refused in order to acquire fuller and more harmonised data.
EP vedtog en betænkning af Anders SAMUELSEN fra det Radikale Venstre og godkender dermed Kommissionens forslag.
MEPs also deplore the non-involvement of the European Parliament, the treaty limits on the right of Parliament to be consulted and the limited provision of information.

Situationen i Cuba: EP fordømmer udvisninger
Motions for resolutions on European Council meeting (Brussels, 4-5 November 2004)
Det hollandske formandskab reagerede kraftigt på denne hændelse, og planlægger at udarbejde en rapport om den indenrigspolitiske situation i Cuba.
Regarding the mid-term review of the Lisbon Strategy MEPs welcome the European Council's reaffirmation of the Lisbon goals and deplore the lack of progress made up to now.
EP vedtog et beslutningsforslag fra tre politiske grupper, henholdsvis PPE-DE-gruppen, ALDE-gruppen og UEN-gruppen om situationen i Cuba.
They draw particular attention to the Kok report's conclusion that the chief obstacle to progress has been poor implementation by the Member States.
Beslutningsforslaget blev vedtaget med 376 stemmer for, 281 imod, medens 26 undlod at stemme.
Parliament considers that to achieve the necessary economic growth, Europe should focus on both structural reforms and macroeconomic action by the EU and the 25 governments.
EP fordømmer kraftigt de cubanske myndigheders udvisning af tre parlamentsmedlemmer fra EU's medlemsstater, og giver udtryk for sin solidaritet med de pågældende personer og med medlemmerne af den demokratiske opposition i Cuba.
They also call for a greater emphasis on the environmental dimension and deplore the Council's failure to agree on the Community patent.
Endvidere kræver EP øjeblikkelig løsladelse af alle politiske fanger og samvittighedsfanger i landet og fordømmer sådanne tilbageholdelser, der er en krænkelse af de mest basale menneskerettigheder.
On the area of Freedom, Security and Justice , Parliament welcomes what it calls the historic decision to moved to Qualified Majority Voting and codecision on Justice and Home Affairs issues with the exception of legal migration.
Endelig understreger EP, at USA's blokade af Cuba har virket stik mod hensigten, og at restriktionerne derfor bør ophæves igen.
They also emphasise the need to achieve a proper balance between law enforcement and the protection of fundamental freedoms.
Sydafrikas præsident taler i EP
They are also concerned for the civilian victims of current military operations.
Borrell fastlog, at den nationale forsoning i Sydafrika er en ære for hele menneskeheden, og roste den Sydafrikanske præsident for hans betingelsesløse kamp for frihed og demokrati.
On the Middle East , MEPs express their solidarity with the Palestinian people following the death of Yasser Arafat, and repeat their belief that a solution to the Middle East conflict is possible only through a negotiated agreement based on the existence of two viable, peaceful and democratic states - Israel and Palestine.
Thabo MBEKI , der har været præsident i Sydafrika siden juni 1999, talte om hele Afrikas situation, idet han henviste til de mange konflikter og borgerkrige, der har fundet sted - og stadig foregår - på kontinentet.
Parliament says the EU should assist the Palestinian Authority to organise free and fair presidential, legislative and local elections.
Herunder fremhævede Mbeki, at der i dag hersker fred i Rwanda - påtrods af den blodige borgerkrig og folkemordet, der fandt sted for ti år siden - og han benyttede Rwanda til at eksemplificere, at det er muligt at skabe fred mellem befolkningsgrupper, der før var opfyldt af had.
They call on the UN Security Council to introduce a global arms embargo against Sudan and introduce targeted sanctions against those responsible for massive abuses of human rights and other atrocities.
"Afrika bringer altid nyt" Mbeki henviste til et latinsk ordsprog, der siger, at Afrika altid bringer nyt til den menneskelige viden og sagde, at kontinentet - bl.a. via det pan-afrikanske parlament - arbejder for at forhindre konflikter og sikre god politik, økonomi og styring.
On Iran , Parliament supports the efforts of the EU and its Member States to reach an agreement with the Iranian government on its nuclear programme, but expresses its deep concern at the deterioration of the human rights situation in the country, reaffirming that a durable and co-operative long term relationship depends on progress in this field.
Hermed understregede præsidenten, at målet for den politiske og økonomiske integrering af Afrika er, at bygge et nyt Afrika, der tager ansvar for egen skæbne og bliver herre over sin egen fremtid.
Regarding Ukraine , Parliament agrees with the Council that Ukraine is a key neighbour and partner, but is alarmed that the first round of Presidential elections failed to meet many international standards.
Mbeki talte om et Afrika, der bliver sin "egen befrier".
MEPs call on the Ukrainian authorities to improve matters for the second round.
Udbygge samarbejdet EU-Afrika Mbeki fastlog samtidig, at samarbejdet mellem EU og Afrika bør udbygges endnu mere for at bekæmpe fattigdom og underudvikling i Afrika.
Encouraged by the high turnout in the elections, Parliament asks for the Ukraine Action Plan to be put into effect, with a strong focus on the development of civil society.
Herunder understregede præsidenten, at EU ligeledes må indse, at hjælpen til Afrika er en forudsætning for et bedre liv for europæerne.
Finally, Parliament stresses that any measures to assist third countries to combat illegal immigration to the EU should not lead to the politicisation of EU development funding.

Konstitutionelle anliggender
Constitutional Affairs
Det skete med 449 stemmer for, 149 stemmer imod - medens 82 MEP'er undlod at stemme .
The result was 449 votes in favour to 149 votes against with 82 abstentions.
EP understeger, at man har valgt Barroso-Kommissionen med dens 25 kommissærer for mandatperioden 22. november 2004-31. december 2009.
Parliament President Josep BORRELL said this had been a significant milestone in democracy.
Vi skal have en stærk Kommission og et troværdigt Europa-Parlament, og et partnerskab mellem dem baseret på gensidig respekt og tillid.
Parliament, he said, now looked forward to a new partnership with the Commission, based on mutual respect and confidence, for a more democratic and efficient European Union.
Konstruktivt samarbejde!
The UUP member abstained.
Revideret rammeaftale!
institutions' respective roles as set out in the treaties.
I beslutningen kræver Europa-Parlamentet, at rammeaftalen melllem Kommissionen og Europa-Parlamentet om de bilaterale forbindelser mellem de 2 institutioner snarest muligt revideres og opdateres på grundlag af de tilsagn, som Barroso har afgivet på den nye Kommissions vegne.
The present treaties, unlike the future constitution, did not give either the Commission President or the Parliament a role in deciding on replacement Commissioners, and he could not guarantee that such Commissioners would not appear before the Council before Parliamentary hearings, but he was able to guarantee that they would not appear officially before Parliament without first having met the relevant parliamentary committee.
Manglende faglig viden!
He and Vice-President WALLSTRÖM would maintain close relations with the Conference of Presidents.
EP erindrer om, at man havde diverse betænkeligheder med visse kommissærkandidater og udtrykte sin skuffelse over den manglende faglige viden og ekspertise , som nogle af dem lagde for dagen.
He would also develop a timetable for reviewing the legislation on access to official EU documents, and would inform Parliament of any changes to the Code of Conduct for Commissioners.
Stærk og uafhængig Kommission!
He said at no stage had he criticised Parliament.
Inden afstemningen sagde Barroso, at der er behov for en stærk og uafhængig Kommission, som sammen med Europa-Parlamentet skal føre EU fremad .
On the contrary, he had always presented a constructive message, expressing his determination to cooperate with Parliament.
Han mente, at EP's beslutning i dag om godkendelsesproceduren og valget af Kommissionen er et godt grundlag for samarbejde, og vi bør snarest opdatere rammeaftalen.
He said the new Commission would work to achieve more economic growth and more employment, to consolidate the European model which reconciled reform with social cohesion.
Barroso mindede om, at alle kommissærer har lovet at træde tilbage, hvis han beder dem om det.
He and his team would devote all their energy to achieving these goals, to make a difference for the men and women of Europe.
Det har alle lovet!, forsikrede han.
"We are counting on your support," he told MEPs.
Forløbet i de seneste uger er et eksempel på europæisk demokrati .
The last few weeks could be described as a " parliamentarisation of the EU ."
Selv i de vanskelige stunder, havde Barroso ikke kritiseret Europa-Parlamentet.
The EU had been strengthened, and the European Parliament was now united to work with the European Commission in a constructive fashion.
Nu har vi afklaret alle vanskelighederne i en kompromisvenlig ånd.
He stated that the Commission " could count on the EPP group as allies ."
Formanden for PPE-gruppen, den tyske CDU'er Hans-Gert PÖTTERING understregede, at EP med stort flertal havde vedtaget beslutningen, som fremmer parlamentarismen i EU .
He recalled that the resolution adopted by Parliament states that if Parliament votes to withdraw confidence in an individual Member of the Commission, the President of the Commission will consider seriously whether he should request that Member to resign and that the President shall either require the resignation of that Member or justify his refusal to do so before Parliament.
EP er enig med Kommissionen om et konstruktivt samarbejde og øget demokratisk kontrol med Kommissionen.
He stressed that any new Commissioners would have to come before Parliament in a formal hearing before taking office.
Vi bør se os selv som forbundsfæller , og EP bør grundlæggende altid være på Kommissionens side, fastslog Pöttering.
On the Commission's five-year strategy, he stressed that the Parliament's requests should be taken into account.
PPE ville med stort flertal stemme for Barroso-Kommissionen.
The EPP-ED group " would give our trust to the new Commission; we will carry out our responsibility of parliamentary scrutiny ."
Willy Brandt om EP Formanden for den socialistiske gruppe, den tyske SPD'er Martin SCHULZ mindede om, at Willy Brandt havde sagt, at "Europa-Parlamentet ikke får nogen rettigheder, men det må selv tilkæmpe sig disse" .
Martin SCHULZ (DE), for the PES group, started off by quoting Willy Brandt " the European Parliament will have to fight for power if it doesn't get any. "
Og det har vi gjort de sidste 3 måneder.
That is what exactly the European Parliament has done and the institution can " be proud of itself ".
De folkevalgte medlemmer i EP har opnået fremskridt i de sidste 3 måneder, og vi er valgt til denne kamp.
The Parliament had put itself on an equal footing with the Heads of State and government.
EP er styrket, men også Kommissionen går styrket ud af denne proces.
Parliament must make full use of this " power gained ", but, he said, both the Commission and Parliament had been strengthened.
Martin Schulz understregede, at mere demokrati fører til mere social retfærdighed, og det er EP's pligt at arbejde for dette.
Sometimes, the Commission President would have to stand up to the national governments and ask them to change their nominations for Commissioners.
Kørekort til Barroso!
More democracy would lead to more social justice ".
Formanden for den liberale gruppe, skotten Graham WATSON fastslog, at et flertal i den liberale gruppe stemmer for, men ikke alle.
Graham WATSON (UK), for the ALDE group, said the majority of his group, but not all, would vote in favour of the Commission.
Watson understregede, at godkendelsesproceduren ikke slutter her.
Mr Watson stated that he was worried about Mr Barroso's ability to understand the concerns of Parliament following his remarks at the conclusion of the previous day's debate.
Barroso får kørekortet i dag, men i morgen skal vi ud på vejene.
Mr Watson rejected these comments about the ALDE group.
Han sagde, at vi ikke kan acceptere interessekonflikter hos kommissærerne.
He said that Mr Barroso's " hands had already been tied in Rome, Budapest and The Hague ."
Vi vil være konstruktive partnere, sluttede Watson.
His group, he said, welcomed a new Framework Agreement between Parliament and the Commission. "
Den tyske grønne Daniel COHN-BENDIT mente, at EP nu foregøgler sig, at man har vundet magt.
Daniel COHN-BENDIT (DE), for the Greens/EFA group, said " times are changing ".
Men de almindelige MEP'er er mere kritiske over for Barroso-Kommissionen end gruppeformændene.
In the recent past, there had been a majority against the Commission in this house.
Hvis MEP'erne i dag blåstempler Barroso-Kommissionen, så undergraver I jeres egen kritik af Barroso.
He also said that Mr Poettering has said, in front of TV cameras, that he would reject Ms KROES as Competition Commissioner.
Den franske GUE'er Francis WURTZ kritisrede Barroso fpr at gå ind for neo-konservatisme og en reaktionær model.
Francis WURTZ (FR), for the GUE/NGL group, told Mr Barroso that his Commission would be approved by Parliament, but that this would be a phyrric victory, since the ad-hoc solution adopted would in fact worsen the crisis.
Hans gruppe havde ikke tillid til denne Kommission og ville derfor stemme imod.
Without making any judgement on individuals, his group did not have confidence in the team, and would be voting against.
Injurierende udtalelser!
Nigel FARAGE (UK) spoke for the Independence and Democracy group.
Briten Nigel FARRAGE fra IND/DEM-gruppen kritiserede flere af de enkelte kommissærer og kom bl.a. med injurierende udtalelser om den franske transportkommissær Jacques Barrot.
Even if the team had been of high quality, he said, his group would still vote against as the Commission was the motor for integration, for legislation which was damaging to businesses and was the embodiment of everything that was wrong in Europe.
Farrage spurgte, om man ville købe en brugt bil af denne Kommissionen.
Not one of his group would vote in favour, he said.
Svaret var nej!
Europe's citizens would not remember the names of the rejected Commissioners: in a few months time they would want to know what the EU had done in Darfur, in the Ivory Coast and to make the Lisbon process work, bringing more jobs and a better quality of life.
Ingen i Farrage's gruppe ville stemme for.
His group, he said, asked for fair play in return for its support.
Jean-Marie LE PEN fra le Front National pegede på, at Kovacs er tidligere stalinist og Kroes har interessekonflikter.
Non-attached MEP Jean-Marie LE PEN (FR) said the lesson to be learned from this episode was that Commissioners were obliged to be politically, mentally and religiously correct.
Han mente, at Kommissionens formand går svækket ud af konflikten.
The victims had been the constitutional treaty with its guarantees of freedom of speech and thought, Italy, which had given in to the Parliament on its choice of Commissioner and finally the Commission and its President, who was the victim of his own errors of judgement.
Vi forsvarer vores borgere mod en europæisk superstat og Tyrkiets indtræden i EU, fastslog Le Pen.
The European right was proud of its convictions and would have public support in opposing an EU superstate and the entry of Turkey.
Farrage kunne trække ordene tilbage fra protokollen, ellers kunne udtalelserne have juridiske konsekvenser.
In the light of those commitments, Parliament calls for the following points to be included in that agreement:
Farrage sagde, at han havde lavet "substantial research" om Jacques Barrot, men hvis det viser sig, at jeg tager fejl, så vil jeg sige undskyld og trække ordene tilbage.
Parliament therefore requests that steps be taken as a matter of urgency to define in detail the procedures under which the code of conduct will be implemented.
EU's ombudsmand: 2.436 klager i 2003!
Support for the work of the European Ombudsman
Ordfører: Proinsias DE ROSSA (PSE, IE)
Proinsias DE ROSSA (PES, IE)
Ifølge 2003-årsberetningen modtog EU-ombudsmanden 2.436 klager i 2003 , hvilket er en stigning på 10 % i forhold til 2002.
Lastly, Parliament believes that a future law on sound administration, which would have a legal basis in the draft Constitution, should be binding on all EU institutions and bodies.
Det er tydeligt, at borgerne mangler præcis viden om, hvilke områder der er omfattet af EU-ombudsmandens beføjelser, idet en overvældende stor procentdel af klagerne falder uden for EU-ombudsmandens kompetence .
The work of the Petitions Committee and the Ombudsman are to a large degree complementary.
I sådanne tilfælde opfordres klageren til at kontakte andre organer, navnlig EP's udvalg for andragender - et andragende er en klage eller anmodning til EP! - og den nationale eller lokale ombudsmand.
The Ombudsman's Annual Report indirectly enables the Petitions Committee to have an idea of the impact of its own work and how it is developing.
I 2003 blev der af EU-ombudsmanden iværksat undersøgelser i 253 sager, og der faldt afgørelse i 180 sager.
This year's report covers a period in which Jacob SÖDERMAN , the first Ombudsman, was in office up to 31 March 2003, as well as the period under Nikiforos DIAMANDOUROS , who took office in 2003.
I 87 sager konkluderede ombudsmanden, at der ikke var fundet noget bevis på fejl eller forsømmelser.
Around 2,436 complaints were received by the European Ombudsman in 2003, an increase of 10% over 2002.
