Under den politiske ordførerrunde sagde den franske PPE'er Francoise GROSSETÊTE , at vi bør fremme det private initiativ og øge forskningen til 3 % af BNI , og vi bør ikke - som nu - sende vore hjerner til andre kontinenter.
There was a need to reduce costs and favour the freedom to work and invest, with a focus on high technology investment, if we were to catch up with the US and stem the brain drain.
Små og mellemstore virksomheder er fundamentet, og skatten bør fremme det private initiativ.
Any progress would be made thanks to entrepreneurs and SMEs, so the tax system needed to be favourable to them.
Det er nødvendigt med jobskabelse, og vi må lave reformer medens det går godt.
More and better employment was the only route to social cohesion.
Det skal kunne betale sig at arbejde, og vi skal investere i forskning, innovation og videreuddannelse.
The only European social model which mattered, he said, was one which preserved our prosperity for the future, allowing people to work the hours they chose and making work pay, including for women and older people in the labour market.
"Lissabon" gav os et årti til reformer, men vi har næsten intet nået, sluttede Graham Watson.
He said that it was vital to deliver on the initiatives already taken, with two many agreed measures going unimplemented in the Member States.
Den neoliberalistiske dagsorden har sejret, og vi har kun fået liberalisering og offentlige nedskæringer.
The Commission was embarked on a " neo-liberal agenda where more of the same liberalisation is foreseen in the areas of transport, energy and postal services ."
Man har fordomme over for det offentlige, og man glemmer arbejdsmarkedet og det sociale, sluttede Figueiredo.
Pierre JONCKHEER (B), for the Greens/EFA group, explained that the economic situation varied considerably from one Member State to another.
Danmark: Eksempel til efterfølgelse!
He also stressed the need to vary policy, and the degree of liberalisation, if any, from one sector to another.
Den belgiske grønne Pierre JONCKHEER pegede på de forskelligartede situationer i de forskellige EU-lande, og at Danmark, Sverige og Finland har bevist, at konkurrenceevne og et godt miljø kan gå hånd-i-hånd , hvorfor de er eksempler til efterfølgelse.
Finally, he questioned whether liberalisation actually led to lower prices and greater supply and not just to the creation of oligopolies and increased profit.
Mere snak end handling!
Gerard COLLINS (Munster) for the UEN group welcomed the progress made in achieving the Lisbon goals and stressed the importance of investing in research and development making it easier for small business to be created for example.
Karin RIIS-JØRGENSEN fra Venstre mente, at "forårstopmøderne" havde udviklet sig til mere snak end handling - og at resultaterne er udeblevet.
He also called for EU's customs policy to be modernised and for all new EU proposals for legalisation to go through strict impact assessment requirements.
Vi bør stoppe tendensen til stigende skatter og holde de offentlige udgifter nede, fastslog Riis-Jørgensen.
They should be working together to tackle tax and VAT fraud, which could raise hundreds of millions.
Hun tog afstand fra Mogens Lykketofts forslag om strafafgift på virksomheder, når de fyrer en medarbejder, der er over 50 år gammel.
Talk of investment should not focus only on the European Investment Bank, but also on the revival of the idea for Eurobonds.
Hun sluttede med at understrege, at den liberale gruppe kan støtte både Randzio-Plath- og Bigliardo-betænkningen, som de blev vedtaget i økonomiudvalget - og derfor uden ændringsforslag.
The Spring Summit, she said, needed to create confidence, but also make a priority of investment in the environment, sustainable growth and lifelong learning, as well as social services such as childcare to help the work-family balance.
Kommissionens arbejdsprogram
The steps taken so far by EU governments were not enough.
Kommissionens årlige politiske strategi for 2005:Garantere kontinuitet
It was time for Europe to pull itself up by its bootstraps.
Kommissionens næstformand, spanieren Loyola DE PALACIO fremlagde sammen med Budgetkommissæren Kommissionens politiske strategi for 2005.
The Lisbon strategy was falling behind: there was a need for more investment in research and a policy on unemployment which would provide secure jobs for young people.
De Palacio lagde i sin tale især vægt på, at 2004-2005 bliver et overgangsår for EU, idet Kommissionen og EP skal udskiftes.
Finally, he called for Parliament's own contributions to have more weight in the EU's economic analysis.
Herunder er prioritetsområderne sikring af Lissabon-Strategien, en bæredygtig udvikling, social retfærdighed, yderligere EU-udvidelse samt intern og ekstern sikkerhed.
Making reference to the recent meeting of the French, British and German governments and to the efforts of the Irish Presidency, Mrs Evans called for more attention to be give to achieving " a sustainable society, better pay and conditions for workers as well as a more equal distribution of wealth ."
De Palacio sagde, at man i et udvidet EU skal sikre samhørighed, EU-borgerskab, ansvarlighed og godt naboskab.
Sine 1996, he recalled, the EU, through the Stability and Growth Pact, had managed to create good levels of economic growth which had translated into job creation.
Hun understregede, at en succesfuld integration af de nye medlemslande forudsætter vækst og forbedring af EU's konkurrenceevne.
Proinsias DE ROSSA (PES, Dublin) said the EU's was on the " cusp of a whirlwind of change " with enlargement, a possible new constitution, reform of the Stability and Growth Pact, reform of the structural funds as well as changing the broad policy guidelines.
De Palacio fremhævede, at EU skal tilbage til en solid vækstrate.
He questioned however, whether the EU was capable of fully living up to these challenges pointing to the Member States trying to " protect their labour markets " and their reluctance to spend more on the EU's budget.
Hvad angår den internationale sikkerhed sagde De Palacio, at én af prioriteterne for Kommissionen vil være bekæmpelse af terrorisme og bidrag til genopbygningen af Irak.
If there was a need for a " super-Commissioner for economic growth " as the UK, France and Germany had called for then, he stated, there was also a need for a " super-Commissioner " for social inclusion. "
Hun henviste til, at Kommissionen allerede har fremlagt initiativer på disse områder.
Lastly, Mr De Rossa called for initiatives and incentives for growth including a well-protected and hence motivated workforce.
Ifølge De Palacio skal EU's politikker signalere ansvar udadtil og godt naboskab med EU's nye medlemslande indadtil.
More flexible EU labour markets were essential and these would not be created by introducing the temporary workers directive nor by removing opt-outs on the working time directive.
Kommissionen har derfor fremlagt en ny naboskabspolitik, der bl.a. har som sin målsætning, at udvidelsesforhandlingerne med Rumænien og Bulgarien afsluttes i 2007.
The Commission had also overreacted on the question of the REACH proposals on chemicals, in the end such measures would lead to increased business costs and less jobs.
Kommissionens anden repræsentant, den tyske budgetkommissær Michaele SCHREYER , understregede, at 2005 bliver et unikt år, eftersom det er første gang, at der skal vedtages et EU-budget for 25 medlemslande.
Commissioner Solbes, in his response to the debate, agreed that there was still room for improvement.
Hun fremhævede, at budgettet for 2005 derfor vil være præget af udvidelsen.
However, he said it was not useful to compare the US and the EU given their different starting points and structures as well as the differences in the levels of economic and monetary union. "
Schreyer sagde, at det finansielle overslag for 2005 er på 114 mia. euro og at loftet for finansoverslaget er lavere end forudset.
The Lisbon process is still valid and a more productive Europe is required " the Commissioner declared.
Dette medfører en begrænsning i EU's interne og eksterne spillerum, men der er dog afsat ekstra midler til vigtige områder såsom energi, Schengen-informations-systemet og fjernelse af atomkraftværker.
Sustainable development and social guarantees all had to be worked into the equation of economic growth.
Endvidere vil der være mulighed for at anvende fleksibilitetsinstrumentet.
It was also a question of the Member States' political will to implement reform and co-ordinate fiscal policy.
Schreyer fremhævede, at der i 2005 er afsat 900 mio. euro til EU's nye medlemsstater via EU's sociale fonde.
The questions of increasing debt, a growing and ageing population in Europe would serve up new economic challenges.
Disse penge skal bl.a. bruges til, at udbygge sikkerheden og bekæmpe grænseoverskridende kriminalitet.
Finally, the Commissioner said that everyone agreed with the diagnosis.
Under MEP'ernes taletid, kritiserede Salvador GARRIGA POLLEDO (PPE-DE, E), at hverken Kommissionens eller Rådets formand var tilstede under debatten.
He also pointed out that the EU's budget was only about 1% of Gross National Income and what the EU could do was limited.
Garriga Polledo ville gerne vide, om Kommissionen er i stand til at overholde den tidsplan, der er fremlagt af EP's budgetformand.
Thanking all the Members who had taken part in the debate, Mr Roche summed up by emphasising his agreement that good intentions were not enough.
Han understregede, at Kommissionen skal respektere EP's rettigheder.
The whole process needed to be focussed, he said.
På vegne af PSE-gruppen sagde østrigeren Johannes SWOBODA , at gruppen er enige i Kommissionens prioriteringer, men at "vækst og beskæftigelse" bør være den politiske hovedoverskrift for 2005.
The Lisbon strategy belonged to the people of Europe, and there were many stakeholders to be engaged in the process.
Swoboda mente, at det er nødvendigt at indføre en ny, selvstændig kommissærpost med ansvar for vækst og beskæftigelse.
He welcomed all the comments on the importance of education, research and the research environment, noting that researchers are the seed capital of the knowledge based economy.
Swoboda ville også vide, hvad Kommissionen vil gøre for de mange romaer, der lever under elendige vilkår i Rumænien og Bulgarien.
He concluded with an affirmation that the Lisbon strategy was not a dry academic concept, but something vital to the lives of the 450 million citizens in the EU's soon to be 25 Member States.
De Palacio sagde, at en eventuel oprettelse af en ny kommissærpost er et spørgsmål, den nye Kommission må tage stilling til.
It deserved focus and energy, and this was what the Irish Presidency aimed to bring to it.
Hun understregede, at mindretallenes rettigheder er blevet forbedret med udvidelsen.
At the opening of the sitting, the House adopted the following changes to the agenda on the proposal of the President:
Ursula STENZEL (PPE-DE, A) roste Kommissionens repræsentanter for en klar redegørelse.
The Council and Commission statements on the Spring Summit will be combined in a joint debate with consideration of the report from Christa RANDZIO-PLATH (PES, D) on the broad economic guidelines and that from Roberto Felice BIGLIARDO (UEN, I) on public finances in the EMU.
Hun sagde, at Kommissionen har bestået en vigtig troværdighedstest i og med, at den har bestræbt sig på at sikre overholdelsen af vækst og -stabilitetspakken.
The reports from Adeline HAZAN (PES, F) on joint flights for the removal of illegal immigrants and the report from Janelly FOURTOU (EPP-ED, F) on intellectual property rights have been delayed to a future sitting.
Stenzel understregede, at vækst og stabilitet er to sider af samme sag.
Regarding the votes due on Thursday, Joseph DAUL 's (EPP-ED, F) report on genetic resources in agriculture has been withdrawn from the agenda.
Under åbningen af EP's møde, sagde den danske SF'er Pernille FRAHM , at Parlamentet skal forhindre at valgkampen op til EP-valget bliver præget af fremmedfjendtlighed og fremmedfrygt.
President Pat COX (ELDR, Munster), who had attended the meeting himself, responded that he would ensure the final declaration of the seminar was circulated to leaders of the political groups and discussed by the Conference of Presidents.
Herunder opfordrede Frahm til, at Kofi Annans tale til EP (i forbindelse med modtagelsen af Sakharov-prisen) bliver oversat til samtlige medlemssprog og trykt således, at den kan indgå i valgkampen.
With the growth in anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, and the arguments regarding headscarves in France, there was a dangerous situation.
Formanden for EP, ireren Pat COX sagde, at Kofi Annans tale allerede er oversat til de 15 nuværende sprog, og lovede at sørge for, at den også oversættes til de 10 nye medlemssprog.
She asked the President to call on EU leaders at the Spring Summit to ensure these issues were discussed with sensitivity and tact to avoid a success for extremists at the June elections.

"Lissabon-strategien":Fare for at EU ikke når målene!
President Stjepan MESIC: Croatia should join EU soon
Forberedelsen af forårstopmødet i 2004Dok.: B5-0102/2004 , B5-0107/2004 , B5-0108/2004
Address by Mr Stjepan MESIC , President of the Republic of Croatia
I Lissabon i marts 2000 vedtog EU's stats- og regeringschefer en strategisk målsætning om inden 2010 at gøre EU til den mest konkurrencedygtige og dynamiske videnbaserede økonomi i verden og tilsvarende målsætninger om bæredygtig vækst, fuld beskæftigelse, mindsket fattigdom og større social samhørighed.
President COX welcomed the President of the Republic of Croatia, Stjepan MESIĆ , to the Chamber, noting that the pleasure of doing so was tinged with sadness at the death of the President of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in a plane crash.
Torsdag den 26. februar 2004 vedtog EP i Bruxelles en beslutning, hvori man fastslår, at "Lissabon-målene" ikke vil blive nået, medmindre der sker en betydelig forbedring af de nuværende tendenser.
President Mesić's visit, he said, came at a crucial and defining time for the EU, with the renewal of Parliament and Commission - and for the relations between the EU and Croatia.
Lovgivningsmæssigt klima Europa-Parlamentet understreger samtidig, at "Lissabon- og Göteborg-strategien" er Europas bedste og mest omfattende middel til at tage de økonomiske, demografiske, beskæftigelses- og miljømæssige udfordringer op.
This was a time to move from ambitious declarations to action plans and meeting the criteria: "Our common goal is to see Croatia a member of the EU," he said.
gennemførelse af stabilitets- og vækstpagten , de overordnede retningslinier for de økonomiske politikker for 2003-2005, det europæiske vækstinitiativ og det 6. rammeprogram for forskning og
He praised Mr Mesić for showing his personal commitment by testifying at the tribunal, and also for his courageous act of leadership in the joint action with President MAROVIC of Serbia and Montenegro in respectively apologising for what had happened over the last decades.
at skabe et lovgivningsmæssigt klima , der begunstiger investeringer, forskning og udvikling, iværksætterkultur og jobskabelse.
This was not a populist move, but one which showed the leadership which was needed in the region, concluded President Cox.
Skatte- og afgiftspolitik Europa-Parlamentet opfordrer medlemslandene til at indarbejde en overordnet strategi i deres skatte- og afgiftspolitikker baseret på
President Mesić began his address by expressing his sadness at the death of President TRAJKOVSKI .
forskning og udvikling med særlig fokus på uddannelse, kvalifikationer, livslang læring , vedvarende energi og miljøvenlig teknologi.
He promised to continue working to achieve Mr Trajkovski's goal of integrating the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia into the EU.
Denne strategi bør iværksættes på baggrund af en bæredygtig offentlig finansiering.
Mr. Mesić stated that membership of the European Union was the chief foreign policy objective of the Republic of Croatia.
Tillidsskabende signal EP ser positivt på det europæiske vækstinitiativ som katalysator for at fremskynde gennemførelsen af "Lissabon-strategien" og som et længe ventet tillidsskabende signal .
This strategic goal enjoyed, he said, the support of the political parties and public opinion: "Our goal is Europe.
Endvidere skal private investeringer spille en væsentlig rolle for at øge produktivitet, vækst og beskæftigelse.
But not just a membership of the European Union.
Økonomiske og monetære anliggender
Our primary objective is to reach and maintain the standards that prevail in Europe.
"Lissabon-strategien":4 år uden markante fremskridt!
We are fully aware of the difficulties that this adjustment entails.
Ordfører: Christa RANDZIO-PLATH (PSE, D)
However, the adjustment is necessary, so that one day Croatia may actively participate in European institutions as an equal member."
Den økonomiske situation i EU, betænkning om de overordnede retningslinjer for de økonomiske politikker
Mr Mesić noted that like some of the countries joining the EU in May, Croatia had only recently become independent.
I en betænkning af den tyske socialdemokrat Christa RANDZIO-PLATH om den økonomiske situation i EU og de overordnede retningslinier for de økonomiske politikker fastslår EP imidlertid, at der snart er gået 4 år, uden at der er sket markante fremskridt i "Lissabon-processen".
He said work was continuing on the reform of public administration and gave an assurance that Croatia wanted to co-operate with the Hague Tribunal, and to continue working on the return of refugees, reform of the judiciary, protection of minorities, and regional co-operation.
som følge af forsinkelser.
He also stated that once reform of the judiciary was complete, Croatian courts would be able to deal with outstanding war crimes cases.
Man understreger, at "Lissabon-strategien" er EU's mest omfattende strategi for økonomiske og vækstorienterede strukturelle reformer, som skal
He said Croatia was using every opportunity to secure the return of refugees regardless of their ethnicity, but pointed to the practical difficulties involved, including the slow pace of rebuilding housing and the need to find employment for returnees.
EP anmoder om drøftelser i alle nationale parlamenter forud for "forårstopmødet" 25.-26. marts 2004.
He continued: "Croatia has advocated an individual approach, i.e. the assessment on each country's merits, from the very beginning.
Man opfordrer ligeledes til, at arbejdsmarkedets parter og civilsamfundet inddrages på alle niveauer af "Lissabon-strategien" for at øge det politiske engagement i strategien og de dermed forbundne forpligtelser.
Mr Mesić called for the creation of a separate European Parliament delegation for co-operation with Croatia, which would, he said, confirm a new, advanced stage of relations between Croatia and the European Union.
"Moralsk myndighed" I Randzio-Plath-betænkningen opfordrer man til en mere "aktiv præsentation af Kommissionens moralske myndighed" i form af den tidlige advarsel, den fremsætter over for medlemsstater, der risikerer ikke at kunne styre deres budgetunderskud.
He stated that Croatia has a high esteem for the support of the European Parliament and for the understanding it has shown for its efforts to get closer to the European Union: "In its resolutions, the European Parliament has repeatedly welcomed Croatia’s application for EU membership, thus showing also its support for Croatia’s intentions and goals."
Større sammenhæng!
Despite the 1st May enlargement, he said the unification of Europe would not be completed until all the SAP countries become members of the European Union and until Europe is united in its geographical borders.
EP udtrykker stor bekymring over den stadig større forskel mellem de mål, der blev fastsat i Lissabon i marts 2000, og de eksisterende retningslinier for den økonomiske politik.
EU membership was the only way to remove instability in South East Europe: "Once the borders which provoked the recent bloody war in this part of the world are removed, the question of who lives on which side of the borders becomes irrelevant."
de europæiske økonomiske retningslinier for 2003-2005,
This ”coming Europe” could, he said, offer at least two good reasons to the young democracies for joining it: political stability and economic competitiveness.
og man anmoder om en komplet og hurtig gennemførelse af disse instrumenter på nationalt og lokalt plan.
For Croatia, these two reasons were sufficient to dispel all doubts about the benefits of European unification.
Menneskelig kapital EP anser investeringer i menneskelig kapital for at være an afgørende faktor for vækst, produktivitet og konkurrenceevne og en forudsætning for det videnbaserede samfund og dets økonomi.
Croatia, he said, had always been part of Europe – culturally, historically and geographically: "By developing new standards, we now try to build Croatia on the values of those nations in which democracy, rule of law, freedom of speech, respect for minority rights and human rights are viewed as the inheritance of the past decades.
Sådanne investeringer er af afgørende betydning for teknologiske ændringer og nyskabelser og et nøgleinstrument i bestræbelserne på at øge beskæftigelsen og arbejdskvaliteten samt lige muligheder og social samhørighed.
Although Croatia did not take part in the Convention on the future of Europe, he said the developments had been followed with great interest: "We are convinced that the Member States will overcome their differences and reach an agreement on the Constitutional Treaty that will make the enlarged European Union efficient and capable of responding to the challenges it faces."
Forbedre arbejdskvaliteten Man mener, at der bør fokuseres mere på at forbedre arbejdskvaliteten, som hænger nøje sammen med indsatsen for at skabe fuld beskæftigelse, højere vækst i produktiviteten og større social sammenhæng, og som er et af de 3 overordnede mål i retningslinierne for beskæftigelse 2003-2005.
He said the new constitutional and budgetary framework must reflect the true nature of the commitment to include all European states in the European family, thus ensuring the further advancement of the European integration project, which would include Croatia, as well as other SAP countries.
EP anmoder EU om at integrere en kvalifikationsstrategi i vækstinitiativet og til, at der oprettes et europæisk område for viden og kvalifikationer , hvor "bedste praksis" fastsættes for at opnå overensstemmelse i uddannelse, livslang læring og pensionsordninger.
Although not a numerically large nation, Croatia, he said, "brings you the joys of the Mediterranean, the civilizational values of Central Europe, the toughness of hard stone, the serenity of the Slavonian plains and above all, the open and noble heart and outstretched hands of friendship and co-operation."
Faldende investeringer!
He had brought reconciliation to his homeland and worked for it in the region.
Af betænkningen fremgår det, at investeringerne i EU er faldet markant fra 3,8 % af BNP i 1970'erne til blot 2,4 % af BNP i 2002 sammenlignet med 3,5 % i USA i 2002.
He was a true European, a warm-hearted man and a former distinguished visitor to Parliament.
Alene i løbet af 2002 faldt de overordnede investeringer med 2,9 % i EU med fortsat nedadgående tendens i 2003, hvilket satte spørgsmålstegn ved Europas produktivitet, konkurrenceevne og stabilitet.
President Cox expressed the deep sympathy and solidarity of Parliament to the government and people of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
Inden for EU afsættes der blot 1,9 % af BNP til forskning og udvikling sammenlignet med 2,7 % i USA og 3 % i Japan (2000).
He also spoke of determination to keep alive Mr Trajkovski's vision for his country's European destination, as this would pay him the best possible tribute.
Skibsbygningsindustri:Illoyal konkurrence fra Sydkorea
MEPs marked their respect by rising for a minute's silence.
