Sakharov-Prisen går til Belarusian Association of Journalists (BAJ)
in each case below the ceilings of the Financial Perspective.
Den Belarussiske Forening af Journalister (BAJ) er vinderen af årets Sakharov-Pris for tankefrihed.
MEPs increased the figure for payment appropriations, which the Council had slashed in its draft budget in July (when it suggested €4 billion less than the Commission's preliminary draft).
Det blev besluttet i dag den 28. oktober 2004, da Europa-Parlamentets politiske gruppeledere valgte BAJ ud af tre mulige kandidater, der var indstillet til prisen.
One major change is the sizeable hike proposed for Structural Measures, largely because the funding for this policy area was well spent during the current financial year.
BAJ fungerer som forkæmper for de uafhængige medier.
According to the resolution, these increases are justified by the need for the EU to "provide the necessary budgetary means to meet its stated ambitions" .
" Tildelingen af Sakharov-Prisen 2004 til den Belarussiske Forening af Journalister, der kæmper for informationsfriheden og imod Præsident Lukashenkos forsøg på at undertrykke denne, er en meget positiv begivenhed.
On this last point, Parliament says it is essential to reinforce the information provided to citizens in the light of the forthcoming campaigns on the European constitution and the low turnout at the June 2004 European elections.
Resultaterne af de seneste valg i landet viste tydeligt, at de, der kæmper for informationsfrihed i Belarus og alle andre steder i verden, fortjener vores støtte ".
Unsurprisingly, Parliament is heading for a trial of strength with Council over the budget for External Action.
EP vedtog et fælles beslutningsforslag om Guantanamo-basen, hvori man henviser til Guantanamo-fangernes ret til en retfærdig rettergang og til, at USA og EU's medlemsstater gentagne gange har bekræftet deres forpligtelse til demokratiske værdier.
In July, the Council cut a number of budget headings, thus increasing their margins so as to forestall any need to use the flexibility instrument.
EP fremhæver, at demokratier - konfronteret med truslen om terrorisme - har som en af sine vigtigste forpligtelser at beskytte sine borgere og konsekvent at bekæmpe terrorisme, men understreger samtidig, "at denne kamp ikke kan føres i strid med folkeretten eller på bekostning af etablerede grundlæggende, fælles værdier".
MEPs reaffirmed their strong opposition to the idea that new commitments should be funded at the expense of old priorities, such as humanitarian aid or the fight against poverty.
Endelig gentager EP sin henstilling til Rådet fra marts 2004 vedrørende de retlige aspekter for de ca. 580 fanger, der fortsat er tilbageholdt ved Guantanamo-bugten og de mulige følger for partnerskabet mellem EU og USA.
Another bone of contention between Parliament and Council is that there is no margin within the heading Internal Policies from which the funding proposed for the decentralised EU agencies could come.
EP er foruroliget over det stigende antal rapporter om henrettelser, herunder henrettelser af unge lovovertrædere og de stadig tiltagende overgreb mod pressefriheden inden for de seneste måneder.
When the ceilings for the various headings were established in 1999, no one foresaw the explosion in the number of agencies (23 now as opposed to 7 just six years ago), with the impact this would have on staff levels (2,695 posts, including the 418 new posts requested for 2005).
EP opfordrer de iranske myndigheder til øjeblikkeligt at standse alle forsøg på stening og forhindre yderligere anvendelser af dødsstraffen over for mindreårige.
The funds that need to be earmarked for this purpose are so great that they are jeopardising funding for other key areas.
Herunder beklager EP, at koalitionsstyrkerne anvendte store mængder fragmentationsvåben under krigene i Afghanistan og Irak.
In the same vein, Parliament calls on all the EU institutions to make savings so as to keep within the ceiling for administrative expenditure.
Endvidere anmoder EP Kommissionen om, at gennemføre en undersøgelse af den potentielle virkning på havmiljøet og til, på grundlag af oplysninger fra medlemsstaterne, at foretage en vurdering af virkningen af de nuværende fremgangsmåder i EU's farvande.
These reserve posts could be released provided the Commission meets certain conditions, in particular by allocating more money to the Infopoints.

Åbning af EP's samling: Bekymring over etniske og religiøse konfrontationer i Holland
As usual, the opening of the session gave MEPs the chance to raise issues of current concern.
Borrell benyttede endvidere lejligheden til at udtrykke sin kondolence i forbindelse med Yasser Arafats død den 9. november.
She asked why there was such wide variation between Member States in the lists of jobs barred to diabetics.
Samtidig fremhævede Borrell, at der nu foreligger en ny mulighed for at skabe fred mellem israelere og palæstinensere og understregede, at EU bør deltage i denne nye forhandlingsfase for fred.
He called for the European Council to make this a priority at its next summit and for the meeting of the UN Security Council in Nairobi to single out the Sudan Government for its responsibility to protect its citizens and disarm the militia.

EU-adfærdskodeks for våbeneksport: Ophævelse af våbenembargo mod Kina?
Council statement on lifting of the embargo on the sale of arms to China
EU's adfærdskodeks er den hidtil mest omfattende ordning for kontrol med den internationale våbeneksport.
He recalled that the Code was first drawn up in 1998 and had been one of the most successful tools of the EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy.
Ifølge adfærdskodeksen skal Ministerrådet udarbejde en årsberetning om våbeneksport.
Countries outside the EU, he said, had taken a keen interest in the Code and had wanted to be associated with it.
½ million mennesker!
The aim of the Dutch Presidency, the Minister outlined, was to make the Code of Conduct even more transparent; this is why the Dutch Presidency had embarked on the first full review of the Code of Conduct.
Enighed i EP!
Turning to the arms embargo on China, Mr Nicolaï stated that he could not say a lot since this matter was still under discussion in the Council.
Tirsdag den 16. november 2004 havde Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg en debat om adfærdskodeksen for våbeneksport og en mulig ophævelse af våbenembargoen mod Kina.
However, he stated that he recognised Parliament's call for the embargo to remain in place and that on every occasion the EU reminded China of the human rights problems in that country.
Samtlige ordførere i EP var enige om, at det er for tidligt at ophæve våbenembargoen mod Kina , idet Kina er verdensmester i krænkelser af menneskerettighederne - som den franske grønne Helene Flautre sagde - og den kinesiske trusel mod Taiwan og behandlingen af Tibet.
While the EU has acknowledged that positive change has occurred and that the political situation in China has moved on since Tiananmen, China’s observance of some basic human rights, notably in the area of political and civil rights, continues to fall well short of international norms.
Vi er på vej mod en effektiv og ansvarlig politik for våbeneksportkontrol , og det hollandske EU-formandskab ønsker at gøre den endnu mere gennemskuelig.
That said, given the underlying logic of the embargo and the significant political and symbolic values involved for both sides, it is understandable that some Member States argue that lifting the ban should take place against a background of positive and tangible steps by China to improve the human rights situation.
Bindende adfærdskodeks?
Whilst the report focuses primarily on improvement in European practice, its scope is global.
Nicolai pegede på, at Europa-Parlamentet ønsker at gøre adfærdskodeksen bindende , men der er ikke enighed herom i Rådet, hvor man er delt op i 2 lige store lejre.
The Commission, he recalled, is regularly involved, with other international organisations and NGO’s, in dealing with the consequences of inappropriate or illegal arms sales.
Nicolai mente ikke, at spørgsmålet om adfærdskodeksen skal være politisk eller retligt bindende vil have nogen betydning for den reeelle våbeneksport.
That is why the Commission has, as part of wider EU efforts, strongly supported the adoption of an international Code of Conduct on arms exports based on the EU’s initiative.
Nicolai havde bemærket sig, at EP's udenrigsudvalg ikke ønsker at hæve våbenembargoen mod Kina på grund af menneskerettighedssituationen i landet.
Member States, he said, are currently considering how to improve the Code of Conduct and the Commission is encouraging these efforts to strengthen EU controls on conventional arms sales.
Frank Sinatra Den britiske EU-udenrigskommissær Chris PATTEN undskyldte, at han endnu en gang mødte op i Europa-Parlamentet, for han havde jo allerede takket af sidste gang.
Raũl ROMEVA RUEDA (Verts/ALE, ES), the rapporteur, recalled that Parliament often adopted resolutions which condemned human rights violations and poverty around the world.
Det mindede ham om Frank Sinatra, som havde haft mange afskedsoptrædende.
However, on arms exports, Member States continued to sell arms to some of these countries.
Patten erkendte, at der var sket positive ting i Kina, men at Kinas overholdelse af menneskerettighederne ligger langt under de internationale standarder .
In fact, he said, the EU was responsible for one-third of all arms exports and in recent years had sold arms to, among others, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Israel, Algeria.
Det kræver, at Kina gør noget på menneskerettighedsområdet, før man kan løfte våbenembargoen over for landet.
He stated that the Code of Conduct was still too vague and called for it to become legally binding.
Andre EU-lande mener, at Kina først må lave nogle konkrete tiltag på menneskerettighedsområdet, og EP-betænkningen knytter adfærdskodeksen tæt sammen med våbenembargoen mod Kina.
Jacky HENIN (GUE/NGL, FR), speaking for the International Trade Committee, stated that the EU ought to go further and create an EU Arms export agency as well as introduce a tax on arms exports which would directly benefit the victims of war and the use of small arms.
Kina: "Historisk genrejsning"!
Quoting Albert Einstein, " either humans destroy arms, or arms will destroy humanity ."
Chris Patten fastslog, at EU-Kommissionen støtter vedtagelsen af en international adfærdskodeks for våbeneksport, som bør udarbejdes på grundlag af EU's adfærdskodeks.
On China, he said the goal should be to reach a strategic partnership, but with human rights problems and the Taiwan and Tibet issues still outstanding, it was not the right time to lift the embargo.
Ingen kan isolere sig i dag, og Kina bør forbedre menneskerettighederne i landet i den kommende tid.
She urged the Council to maintain the embargo on arms exports to China, where there were ongoing human rights problems.
Chris Patten sluttede med at sige, at Kina fremover bør spille en positiv rolle i det internationale samfund.
Lifting the embargo on China, he said, would be a textbook example of hypocrisy and selectivity.
Nej til at ophæve våbenembargoen!
Hélène FLAUTRE (FR) spoke for the Greens/EFA group.
Under ordførerrunden sagde den tyske CDU'er Karl VON WOGAU, at adfærdskodeksen har ført til væsentlige fremskridt - men det er ikke nok.
She welcomed the agreement from all sides of the House, but warned that some Heads of State had no scruples when it came to arms exports to China.
Det var positivt, at nogle medlemslande har erklæret adfærdskodeksen for retligt bindende.
Lifting that embargo would itself be a breach of the Code of Conduct, she said.
PPE-gruppen går ind for et "strategisk samarbejde" med Kina, men der er problemer med
What was needed was a legally binding instrument, with sanctions for companies breaking its terms.
og forudsætningerne er der derfor ikke for at ophæve våbenembargoen mod Kina .
He also called for the embargo on China to be maintained.
Den portugisiske socialist Ana Maria GOMES mente, at EU's adfærdskodeks bør være obligatorisk og bindende .
Bogdan PĘK (PL) for the Independence and Democracy group said this was an important decision and the Code of Conduct should be agreed with the US and Russia.
Og eksport af redskaber til tortur bør forbydes.
If this was not possible, the EU should show moral superiority and take a stand itself.
Gomes gik ind for, at EU opretholder våbenembargoen over for Kina, idet menneskerettighedssituationen i landet er for dårlig.
Arms exports to non-EU countries should be subject to regulation, and it should also include Turkey, Croatia, Romania and Bulgaria.
Dårligt signal - grov merkantilisme!
Other Irish/British speakers
Belgieren Frank VAN HECKE talte på vegne af den liberale gruppe.
However, he called the illegitimate export of small arms " the real weapons of mass destruction ."
Han mente, at der var tale om en meget velovervejet betænkning fra EP's udenrigsudvalg - med mange henstillinger til forbedringer.
Simon COVENEY (EPP-ED, IE) stated that there was nothing wrong with a legitimate arms trade, but at the same time there had to be effective control.
Der ville være tale om grov merkantilisme - at sælge principper for en håndfuld sølv .
He stated that there was a long way to go before the arms embargo on China could be lifted.
Summeriske henrettelser!
Response to the debate
Den franske grønne Helene FLAUTRE var glad for PPE-gruppens holdning til opretholdelse af våbenembargoen mod Kina.
Responding to the debate, Mr NICOLAÏ noted that almost all the speakers had called for maintaining the arms embargo for China.
Der foregår summeriske henrettelser i Kina, og Kina er verdensmester i krænkelser af menneskerettighederne, fastslog Helene Flautre.
He said he shared many of the concerns raised, but pointed out that even if the embargo was to be lifted, the restricted export policy would still apply to any exports to China.

Under den efterføkgende debat i EP kom det frem, at kun de grønne, GUE-gruppen og næsten alle i IND/DEM-gruppen vil stemme imod, medens store flertal i PPE-gruppen, socialistgruppen og den liberale gruppe ventes at stemme for den nye Kommission, så den kan tiltræde mandag den 22. november i Bruxelles .

He said Mr Mbeki's life had been marked by the struggle for freedom
Kollegium Barroso takkede Europa-Parlamentet for dets smidighed i forbindelse med de nye kommissærhøringer, som havde været stringente høringer.
President Mbeki's address to MEPs was an optimistic assessment of Africa's potential to overcome its own problems, without the need for neo-colonial intervention from the United States or Europe.
I Kommissionen havde man styrket respekten for de grundlæggende rettigheder.
He took as his theme the famous saying of Roman scholar Pliny the Elder that " out of Africa there is always something new ".
Denne Kommission har det højeste antal kvinder nogensinde.
He quoted two downbeat assessments of Africa's prospects published in US newspapers, which had argued that the West or Europe in particular needed to undertake long term military interventions to rescue Africans from failed or weak states.
Jose Manuel Barroso gik ind for et partnerskab for Europa om velfærd, solidaritet og sikkerhed.
"As you are doing in Europe, Africa is today involved in an extraordinary and creative endeavour that might contribute something new to the understanding of the capacity and ability of human beings to overcome adversity and build a new world of hope" , he said.
Europa-Parlamentet og Kommissionen vil stå stærkere efter denne godkendelsesproces, mente Barroso.
Ten years ago, many in the world foresaw South Africa facing a "cataclysmic clash of races that would transform our streets into rivers of blood."
I forbindelse med "Lissabon-strategien" er en stærk dynamisk økonomi en forudsætning for det sociale og miljøet, og vi skal skabe en bedre livskvalitet.
This had not happened, because of what "black and white Africans of South Africa did, understanding that the taking of even one human life would neither repair the great harm visited on millions for centuries nor create the possibility to repair the damage," and South Africa was at peace.
Og EU skal være et område for frihed, sikkerhed og retfærdighed.
This was, he said, an African miracle, a triumphant resurgence of everything good and noble in the human soul.
Lad os komme videre med arbejdet, sluttede Barroso.
He also referred to the carnage in Rwanda, wondering what could have driven the genocidaires to commit the high crimes visited on that country's people.
Tre konklusioner Under den politiske ordførerrunde sagde den tyske formand for PPE-gruppen Hans-Gert PÖTTERING, at Frattini og Piebalgs havde været overbevisende under høringerne 15.-16. november, medens Ungarn burde have trukket Kovacs tilbage.
Here too, however, "I have marvelled that simple African folk could convene under the African sky, without even the sophistication of a simple village hall, the hunters and the hunted together, and decide to forgive, choosing the path of national reconciliation rather than angry violence."

He was confident that the conflict in Darfur could be resolved and that the people of Côte d'Ivoire would "find one another and will together establish a stable peace, reunify their country and join together in electing a government representative of the people... as a whole."
Regeringerne bør næste gang give den udpegede Kommissionsformand mere spillerum ved valg af kommissærer og deres porteføljer.
I speak of an Africa that is saying it must be its own liberator from the ills of war and conflict, dictatorship, corruption and the regression that have characterised much of Africa over the last few decades."
EP styrket!
It is underdeveloped.
Den nye Kommission er kvalitativt bedre end den, vi fik præsenteret for 3 uger siden.
Nevertheless, it is resolved to act firmly and consistently to guarantee itself the gift of please."
Schulz var stolt af socialistgruppens rolle i denne sag, og EP står styrket i forhold til Kommissionen og Rådet.
Mr Mbeki called for ongoing dialogue between Africa and the EU, and reminded MEPs that "the more you succeed to establish a strong, effective and successful European Union, the more your responsibilities will increase to contribute to... the goal of a better world for all.
Martin Schulz sagde i forbindelse med "Lissabon-strategien", at de sociale resultater i medlemslandene ikke skal ødelægges af Kommissionen i Bruxelles.
One of the greatest responsibilities of our time is to end the obscene reality of endemic poverty for millions, when the means and know-how exist within human society to achieve the objective of a better life for all."
Det vil vi måle Barroso-Kommissionen på, sluttede Martin Schulz.
He concluded by saying that regardless of what sceptics might say, the original form of the Pliny quotation, which is now the motto of the South African Museum, Semper aliquad novi Africa affert, was true: Africa always contributes something new.
EP tog ikke fejl!
