”Undergravet ånden” I en betænkning af den hollandske liberale Marieke SANDERS-TEN HOLTE om de 3 særforordninger fremlægger EP’s transportudvalg 32 ændringsforslag til Rådets fælles holdning.
Anyone who has been convicted of bankruptcy, whose business is being wound up, whose affairs are being administered by a court, who has entered into an arrangement with creditors or who has suspended business activities should be excluded from tendering, says the committee.
Ordføreren begrunder det med, at Rådets fælles holdning fratager det oprindelige forslag meget af dets substantielle indhold og har ”undergravet ånden” i det oprindelige forslag .
On this point, the common position provides only for an option and not for an obligation of the awarding authorities to exclude these categories from tenders.
Rådet har bl.a. slettet den oprindelige artikel 6, der rummede en klar forpligtelse til at gennemføre lovgivning med sigte på at løse problemet med mangelen på flyveledere og ATM-personale, hvilket er et grundlæggende element i etableringen af det fælles luftrum.
There should also be a ban on tendering by operators convicted of fraud or other forms of dishonest anti-competitive behaviour connected with the award of public contracts in the common market, breaches of rules on collective agreements and drugs-related offences.
Midlertidigt transitsystem: Lastvognstransit gennem Østrig

Ordfører: Luciano Emilio CAVERI (ELDR, I)
Stefano ZAPPALA' (EPP-ED, I)
Caveri-betænkningen blev vedtaget med 44 stemmer mod 5, og det forekommer nu sandsynligt, at sagen ender i Forligsudvalget.
The committee is calling for an increase of around 20% in the threshold for supply and service contracts and 12% for works contracts.
Ordfører: Giorgio LISI (PPE-DE, I)
Giuseppe GARGANI (EPP-ED, I)
I oktober 2002 vedtog EP en betænkning af italieneren Giorgio LISI fra Forza Italia om et forslag til forordning fra EU-Kommissionen om kompensation og bistand til flypassagerer ved boardingafvisning, aflysning eller lange forsinkelser .
Giuseppe GARGANI (EPP-ED, I), Chair of the Legal Affairs Committee, will be recommending that Parliament approve the common position on indirect vision systems of vehicles without amendment.
I en ny betænkning af Giorgio Lisi konstaterer EP’s transportudvalg, at Rådet i dets fælles holdning har accepteret udvalgets forslag til en bedre kompensation til flypassagerer, som udsættes for boardingafvisning.
The Council’s common position introduces certain extensions to the transition periods so Member States have longer to adapt to the new legislation.
Rådet accepterer - på linie med EP’s ændringsforslag fra 1. behandlingen - at indføre et system med 3 typer sanktioner for forskellige distancer:
The Commission proposal aims to improve the safety of road users by amending the construction requirements of certain components and introducing new technologies in order to increase the field of indirect vision for drivers of motor vehicles of categories M (vehicles for the carriage of passengers) and N (vehicles for the carriage of goods) and reducing the blind spots which occur in the immediate area around the vehicles.
EP’s transportudvalg fremsætter 20 ændringsforslag til 2. behandlingen.
Therefore the Commission is proposing to repeal directive 71/127/EEC and its amendments and replace it by the new directive.
”Marco Polo-programmet”: EU-tilskud til miljøpræstationer i godstransporten
Social security: breaking down barriers to freedom of movement
Ordfører: Philip Charles BRADBOURN (PPE-DE, UK)
Jean LAMBERT (Greens/EFA, London)
Procedure: Den fælles beslutningsprocedure - Andenbehandling (***II)
Procedure : Codecision procedure (1st reading)
I september 2002 vedtog EP en betænkning om et forslag til forordning om EU-tilskud til forbedring af godstransportsystemets miljøpræstationer - det såkaldte ”Marco Polo-program ”.
The aim of Regulation 1408/71 has been to ensure that anyone moving from country to country within the EU enjoys the same rights as someone who always lives and works in the same country.
På initiativ af det danske formandskab holdt man en uformel trialog mellem EP, Rådet og Kommissionen den 27. november 2002.
However, the regulation does not harmonise national social security systems but simply aims to co-ordinate the cross-border aspects of these systems.
Formandskabet forklarede, at flere medlemslande ønskede at reducere budgettet endnu mere, og at disse stater kun ville støtte budgettet på 75 mio. euro som led i et samlet kompromis mellem institutionerne.
Under the Commission's new draft text, the regulation would apply to anybody covered by social security legislation, an important change welcomed by the Employment Committee.
Torsdag den 3. juli 2003
However, the committee is proposing a number of amendments.
ECB’s årsberetning for 2002: Vellykket indførsel af eurosedler og -mønter
MEPs want to improve the position of disabled people who move to a new Member State and at present often lose their entitlement to certain benefits and assistance for a given period.
I en betænkning af den hollandske EDD’er Hans BLOKLAND om den Europæiske Centralbanks årsberetning for 2002 lykønsker EP’s økonomiudvalg ECB’s vellykkede indførsel af eurosedler og -mønter .
Reporting for the Budgets Committee on next year’s budget which at present stands at just over €100bn in commitments and €95.6bn in payments for 15 Member States, following the Commission’s proposal, Jan MULDER (ELDR, NL) emphasises the aim of the committee to reach an agreement with Council before the end of the year on a figure sufficient to take account of the needs of 25 Member States.
Økonomiudvalget mener dog, at den fysiske euro vil bidrage til at holde priserne nede på mellemlang sigt.
Mr Mulder is also seeking to reach an informal agreement with Council, before Council’s first reading in July.
I Blokland-betænkningen bemærker man med tilfredshed, at overgangen har reduceret tilfældene af pengeforfalskning, men man udtrykker bekymring over de seneste tilfælde af falske 200 eurosedler, og man udtrykker tvivl om 500 eurosedler og forbindelsen til hvidvaskning af penge.
There are, however, a number of problems, not least in the area of CAP spending, following the difficulties of farm ministers reaching an agreement on reforms.
EP’s økonomiudvalg beklager nogle medlemsstaters brud på stabilitets- og vækstpagten i 2002, hvilket risikerer at underminere euroområdets troværdighed og dermed pengepolitikkens effektivitet.
Direct income payments to farmers will not, however, have an impact on the budget until 2005.
Man opfordrer Kommissionen til fortsat at anvende stabilitets- og vækstpagten på en intelligent og fleksibel måde. man glæder sig over opskrivningen af euroen over for den amerikanske dollar i 2002, men advarer om, at en yderligere styrkelse ikke bør bringe eksporten i fare.
Spending on agriculture – including the 25 - has been put at €48bn leaving a margin of just €1.4bn but the committee would like to see a better balance of funding in the agricultural area with a larger percentage spent on rural development.
gennemsnitlig vækst i M3 på 7 % (5,5 % i 2001), hvor ECB’s referenceværdi er 4,5 %,
The committee also wants to see stricter controls with regard to monitoring quotas.
opskrivning af euroens effektive nominelle valutakurs 6,5 %.
In particular, the committee is seeking more information on funding for Southern Eastern Europe.
Euroområdets internationale rolle: Fakturere varer og energi i euro?
As to regional and social spending, the committee is concerned that payments for the 15 have been reduced by €4.2bn compared to 2003 figures.
Ordfører: Carles-Alfred GASÒLIBA I BÖHM (ELDR, E)
The committee also wants to see the profile of SMEs raised and expresses dissatisfaction with reduced amounts proposed on this budget line.
Euroområdets internationale rolle og en første evaluering af indførelsen af eurosedler og -mønter
The committee’s draft resolution also drawn attention to the need to resolve the question of the headquarters of new agencies such as the Food Agency.
Fakturere i euro?
Göran FÄRM (PES, S)
Den 21. december 1998 fremlagde EU-Kommissionen et forordningsforslag om koordinering af de sociale sikringsordninger.
Göran FÄRM (PES, S) will be updating the House on the latest situation with regard to the implementation of the 2003 budget.
Formålet var en forenkling af koordineringsbestemmelserne.
The position as at 30 April 2003 shows outstanding commitments covering the Structural Funds, internal and foreign policy, including preparation for accession standing at €126bn on 30 April 2003 as against a figure of €110bn on the same date last year.
Den engelske grønne Jean LAMBERT har på vegne af Udvalget om Beskæftigelse og Sociale Anliggender udarbejdet en betænkning, hvori det fastslås at: ”Et af de vigtigere principper og mål i EU er den fri bevægelighed for personer .
He is also able to report that administrative preparations for enlargement are on track with regard to the appointment of 500 officials from the new Member States during the year.
Denne frihed vil kun have værdi, hvis det sikres, at personer, der bevæger sig inden for EU, ikke stilles ufordelagtigt med hensyn til deres sociale sikringsordninger.”
As regards to the figures, delays in implementing programmes in 2002 mean that some €7.4bn is to be returned to the Member States.
De fire principper om ligebehandling, sammenlægning, forbud mod dobbeltydelser og retten til at medbringe social sikring til andre EU-medlemsstater (jvf. forordning nr. 1408/71) er bevaret i betænkningsforslaget.
Indeed the committee is concerned that the total outstanding figure for commitments to the Structural Funds stood at €93.9bn on 30 April 2003.
Betænkningen indeholder bl.a. følgende ændringsforslag:
Furthermore, following the introduction of the new financial regulation, programmes are even further behind in 2003.
at personer der flytter beskæftigelse fra én medlemsstat for af familiære grunde at flytte til en anden medlemsstat, ikke bør miste retten til understøttelse i deres nye bopælsland ,
On agriculture, one bone of contention is the budgetary classification of export subsidies for the transport of live animals, which makes it difficult for Parliament to bring about changes here.
at handicappede , der skifter bopælsstat, har ret til fortsat at modtage ydelser fra den oprindelige bopælsstat i den periode hvor vedkommendes sag behandles i den nye bopælsstat,
Other points of concern include the slow implementation of the R & D budget and the risk of duplication in such areas as the enlargement programme for SMEs with other external action programmes.
at listen over arter af social sikring udvides til også at omfatte f.eks. efterløn ,
On the funding of foreign policy in general, the committee is concerned at the slow pace of implementation in programmes affecting Latin America and Asia, while the Commission is criticised for its failure to meet the 2002 deadline, resulting in the cancellation of some €6.48m in aid funding.
Gender budgeting
Gender budgeting: a way to promote equal opportunities
Ordfører: Fiorella GHILARDOTTI (PSE, I)
Fiorella GHILARDOTTI (PES, I)
Den italienske PSE’er Fiorella GHILARDOTTI har på vegne af Udvalget om Kvinders Rettigheder og Lige Muligheder udarbejdet en initiativbetænkning om ”Gender Budgeting” – offentlig budgettering ud fra et ligestillingsperspektiv.
By defining and implementing budgetary policies, public authorities take specific political decisions affecting society and the economy.
Formålet med ”Gender Budgeting” er, at indarbejde ligestillingsaspektet i alle budgetprocedurer og at omstrukturere indtægter og udgifter for at fremme ligestilling mellem mænd og kvinder .
In order to promote equality and to reduce social economic inequalities, the Women’s Rights Committee, in an own-initiative report by Fiorella GHILARDOTTI (PES, I), calls on the Commission, the Member States and local and regional governments to carry out gender budgeting and stresses that the gender budgeting strategy should become a ” parliamentarised procedure ” within the European Parliament and national, regional and local parliaments, with particular reference to the countries about to join the EU.
Arbejdet med ”Gender Budgeting” består bl.a. i følgende:
The concept and method of gender budgeting is a fairly new concept.
at fremme den politiske vilje på alle niveauer til at opnå ligestilling mellem mænd og kvinder,
It was established through the Beijing Platform for Action (1995) and means the application of the principle of gender mainstreaming in the budgetary process.
at øge kvindelig tilstedeværelse i beslutningsprocessen på alle niveauer både i det offentlige og det private,
This involves carrying out a gender impact assessment of budgetary policies, incorporating the gender perspective at all levels of the budgetary procedure and reorganising revenue and expenditure with a view to promote gender equality.
at udarbejde kønsopdelte data og statistikker for at finde frem til operative indikatorer til at måle virkningen af de offentlige politikker og af budgetpolitikkerne.
It is not a matter of calling for separate budgets to be drawn up for men and women.
Det understreges, at ulønnet socialt arbejde (arbejde i hjemmet) bør sidestilles med det lønnede arbejde i udarbejdelsen af økonomiske analyser over de politiske valg og beslutninger.
Rather the aim is to ensure a fair and efficient distribution of resources.

In the light of the mid-term review of the Common Agriculture Policy, the Committee on Women’s Rights and Equal Opportunities is putting forward an own-initiative report by Rodi KRATSA-TSAGAROPOULOU (EPP-ED, GR) underlining the importance to improve equal opportunities for women in agriculture and the rural environment.

Initiativ fra Østrig til Rådets forordning om opstilling af kriterier for bestemmelsen af, hvilke lande der kan med henblik på vedtagelse betegnes som sikre tredjelande, med henblik på ansvaret for behandling af en asylansøgning, der indgives af en tredjelands-statsborger i en medlemsstat, samt om fastlæggelse af en liste over sikre tredjelande i Europa
Oral questions to the Council and Commission on EU-Cuba relations
Initiativet sigter på, at fastlægge en liste over sikre tredjelande i Europa.
Recently, the Cuban Government again withdrew its application for accession to the Cotonu Agreement.
Østrig definerer et sikkert tredjeland som et land, der har ratificeret Genéve-konventionen fra 1951, den europæiske konvention til beskyttelse af menneskerettighederne og grundlæggende frihedsrettigheder, samt den internationale konvention om borgerlige og politiske rettigheder.
The Commission has also suspended the evaluation report which was to be forwarded to the Member States so that they might take a decision on whether to accept the Cuban Government's application to accede to the Cotonou Agreement because of the numerous arrests in that country, where more than 70 human rights activists and other dissidents have been imprisoned since 18 March 2003, accused of collaboration with US efforts to overthrow the Cuban regime.
Listen over sikre tredjelande i Europa omfatter de nuværende 15 EU-medlemslande, de 12 kandidatlande, samt Norge, Island og Schweiz.
According to Mr Brok, trials of these citizens were summary in the extreme and resulted in extremely severe sentences, ranging from 20 years to life.
af de 15 lande, der nævnes i listen, ville kun Schweiz opfylde kravene til at være et sikkert tredjeland,
Moreover, the death penalty has been already carried out in three cases of ferryboat kidnapping with violence.
Nationale problemer I betænkningen fremsættes en kritik af, at initiativer fra medlemsstater generelt tager sigte på løsning af nationale problemer og medierelaterede spørgsmål uden hensyntagen til fælles europæiske interesser .
Furthermore, Mr Brok is asking both the Commission and Council to specify what could be done to encourage both the authorities and the internal democratic opposition to work together on this objective, obviously as soon as the political prisoners are released.
Respekten for grundlæggende rettigheder i EU:Terrorisme – politivold – menneskehandel m.m.
More consistent EU human rights policy demanded
Ordfører: Fodé SYLLA (GUE/NGL, F)
Bob van den BOS (ELDR, NL)
Respekten for de grundlæggende rettigheder i Den Europæiske Union (2002)
Report on human rights in the world in 2002 and European Union's human rights policy
Den franske GUE'er Fode SYLLA har på vegne af EP's udvalg om borgernes frihedsrettigheder udarbejdet en betænkning om respekten for de grundlæggende rettigheder i EU i 2002.
The need for the European Union to set an example by conducting a more consistent policy to combat human rights violations is more urgent than ever.
Ligesom de 2 foregående betænkninger er den baseret på strukturen i EU's charter om borgernes grundlæggende rettigheder.
There is no lack of formally agreed ambitions but, in practice, national interests often gain the upper hand and prevent the EU acting more forcefully.
EU-charteret EP's udvalg for borgernes frihedsrettigheder konstaterer, at EU-charteret om borgernes grundlæggende rettigheder "anerkendes" og indgår i del II i Konventets forfatningsudkast.
The committee calls for firm application of the human rights clauses included in co-operation and association agreements with non-EU countries.
Man beklager dog, at charterets juridisk bindende karakter ikke udtrykkeligt er nævnt.
MEPs say that enforcing these clauses requires, above all, political will on the part of the Member States, but clear mechanisms are also needed to keep up the pressure to improve human rights in the countries concerned.
Udvalget understreger, at det er vigtigt, at Europa-Parlamentets årlige betænkning om de grundlæggende rettigheder bruges til udveksling af bedste praksis og til at fremhæve de særlige europæiske værdier i forbindelse med respekten for de grundlæggende værdier.
However, the committee complains that it is not involved in the decision-making process leading to consultations or the suspension of an agreement.
Det skal ske under hensyntagen til de særlige forhold og kulturen i hvert enkelt medlemsland.
It wants the Council to involve MEPs more in these matters.
Afskaffelse af dødsstraf I Sylla-betænkningen glæder man sig over, at alle medlemslande har undertegnet protokollen om afskaffelse af dødsstraf under alle forhold og anmoder indtrængende medlemslandene om at ratificere protokollen hurtigst muligt.
Political dialogue The committee underlines the importance of engaging in genuine political dialogue with non-EU countries and of integrating human rights into the EU's external policies.
Man er også bekymret for de EU-borgere, der tilbageholdes på Guantanamo-basen.
MEPs are disappointed that the EU did not sponsor a resolution on China or Iran at the 59th session of the UNHRC.
Aktiv dødshjælp I Sylla-betænkningen peger man på, at det stadig mere aktuelle spørgsmål om afkriminalisering af aktiv frivillig dødshjælp i 2002 er blevet rejst i flere medlemslande, og at der er tale om et særdeles ømtåleligt emne, som bør give anledning til lægelige og etiske overvejelser på europæisk plan.
In addition, in 2002 and 2003, the UNHRC rejected resolutions on Chechnya and Zimbabwe.
sørge for tilstrækkelige aktiviteter til langtidsindsatte og særlige reintegrationsprogrammer for tilbagevenden til samfundslivet,
It asks the Council to assess the EU's structured dialogues with Iran and China and urges the governments of these two countries to allow in the UN's special rapporteurs on human rights.
sikre minimumsstandarder for de hygiejniske og boligmæssige forhold for de indsatte i fængslerne m.m.
The committee warmly supports the International Criminal Court (ICC) and urges the broadest possible ratification for the Court's statute.
Menneskehandel og slaveri Udvalget om borgernes frihedsrettigheder fastslår, at menneskehandel er forkasteligt og bør bekæmpes med alle midler.
It calls on all states, which still have the death penalty, to introduce a moratorium on any pending executions.
Menneskehandel strider mod princippet om menneskelig værdighed og fører til seksuel udnyttelse og udnyttelse af arbejdskraft under slavelignende forhold, hvor ofrene oftest er kvinder, unge piger og børn.
It also urges the United States to drop its policy of discouraging governments from ratifying the Rome Statute by means of " bilateral immunity agreements ".
Man opfordrer til en samlet politik mod menneskehandel - den moderne form for slaveri - der rettes mod hele handelskæden, inklusive oprindelses-, transit- og bestemmelseslande.
In addition, the draft resolution calls for a commission to be set up under the mandate of the UN Secretary-General and/or the Security Council to investigate war crimes and crimes against humanity committed under the Iraqi regime.
Man bør ramme personer, der rekrutterer, transporterer og udnytter ofrene, mellemmænd, kunder og begunstigede.
The draft resolution also condemns totalitarian regimes which suppress and try to control religious belief and practice, such as those in Burma, China, Cuba, Laos, North Korea and Vietnam.
Man ser med tilfredshed på de initiativer, som flere medlemslande har taget for at mindske klangbunden for politiske partier, der udbreder racistisk og fremmedfjendtlig propaganda.
MEPs call on the Council and Commission to seek to prevent violent religious extremism through dialogue with the relevant leaders.
