Socialudvalget henviser til, at omkring en tiendedel af EU's BNP i dag går til offentlige udgifter til pensioner , og at alle prognoser peger på, at pensionssystemerne i fremtiden kommer til at veje tungere i de offentlige udgifter.
If their constitutions allow, all Member States should then hold a referendum, if possible on the same day as the European elections.
Man understreger, at pensionspolitikken og -finansieringen grundlæggende set er og bliver medlemslandenes ansvar - i overensstemmelse med nærhedsprincippet.
The committee welcomes the progress achieved with the drafting of the Constitution for Europe, " even if not all demands in respect of democracy, transparency and efficiency in the European Union were met ".
Hvert medlemsland bør dog føre en pensionspolitik, som sikrer ældre mennesker tilstrækkelige og rimelige indkomster, og som hindrer fattigdom i alderdommen.
The committee therefore speaks of the " important steps towards a more democratic, efficient and transparent European Union " but also of the " aspects requiring further monitoring " and the " shortcomings " of the draft Constitution.
Pensionernes bæredygtighed Socialudvalget understreger, at alle finansielt bæredygtige pensionsordninger - selv om de er baseret på forskellige finansieringsprincipper - forudsætter en økonomi præget af vækst, tilstrækkelig produktivitet og fuld beskæftigelse med kvalitetsjobs i et sundt og sikkert arbejdsmiljø, hvilket er den bedste garant for pensionernes bæredygtighed.
Among the points to be welcomed, MEPs in the committee highlight the inclusion of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, the simplification of EU acts, the abolition of the pillar structure, the wider use of the co-decision procedure and of qualified majority voting, the election of the President of the Commission by Parliament, the introduction of the citizen's right of legislative initiative, the possibility of structural co-operation in security and defence policy " while respecting Alliance commitments " , and the separation of the Euratom Treaty from the legal structure of the future Constitution.
Man mener, at medlemslandene bør overveje at oprette reservefonde til sikring af den finansielle bæredygtighed på længere sigt.
Among the ” aspects requiring further monitoring ” are the election of the President of the European Council, whose role MEPs say should be strictly limited to chairing proceedings in order to avoid any conflicts with the President of the Commission or the EU Foreign Minister.
Og man opfordrer medlemslandene til at fortsætte tilpasningen af skattesystemerne med hensyn til supplerende arbejdsmarkedspensionsordninger.
They add that, under the budget procedure, their powers should not be reduced by comparison with the present situation.
Man mener endvidere, at pensionsrettigheder optjent i en medlemsstat skal anerkendes i fuldt omfang og ydelserne komme til udbetaling uden at dette på noget tidspunkt må medføre en formindskelse af pensionsydelser i en anden medlemsstat.
They welcome the disappearance of the link between the weighting of votes in Council and the distribution of seats in Parliament, a link laid down in the protocol to the Nice Treaty, and they suggest that the new distribution of seats in Parliament be implemented without delay.
Hæv pensionsalderen!
As regards the ” shortcomings ”, the committee voices concern about ” unsatisfactory answers to some fundamental questions ”, particularly regarding the consolidation of economic and social cohesion policy, the co-ordination of economic policy, the appointment of members of the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance, the continuation of unanimous voting in Council for the CFSP and certain areas of social policy.
EP's socialudvalg støtter målet om at hæve den reelle pensionsalder , hvilket også indgår i Kommissionens forslag om nye retningslinier for beskæftigelsen.
MEPs in the committee also hope that the reform of the Commission will not affect the collegiate nature of this institution and they regret that the system envisaged makes it difficult to keep a good European Commissioner for a second term.
Man er af den opfattelse, at den nuværende situation, hvor den reelle pensionsalder er betydeligt lavere end den lovbestemte pensionsalder - som følge af udbredt førtidspensionering - er klart uholdbar i betragtning af de store økonomiske udfordringer, der ligger forude.
Despite certain limitations and contradictions, MEPs in the committee believe that the outcome of the Convention should be approved: if the compromises reached by the Convention are unpicked, this will jeopardise all the progress made and undermine the ” Convention method ”, which MEPs see as much more efficient than the intergovernmental method.
Kommissionens meddelelse ”Situation om gennemførelsen af de fælles evalueringsrapporter om kandidatlandenes beskæftigelsespolitikker”
During today’s debates, several MEPs highlighted the fact that Parliament was for the first time expressing its views on the convening of an IGC in full knowledge of the text which would be the basis for the negotiations.
Procedure: Den ikke-lovgivningsmæssige procedure
Budget Conciliation for 2004 - differences continue
Arbejdsløshed I seks af de tolv kandidatlande ligger arbejdsløsheden på over 10 % , hvilket er højt i forhold til gennemsnittet i de nuværende 15 EU-lande.
For the EU 15 the Council’s draft budget is expected to be around €100bn in commitments; for the EU 25, following enlargement, the budget increases to some €112bn.
Det er centralt, at kandidatlandene får tilpasset deres økonomiske politik og beskæftigelsespolitik, således at der skabes en økonomisk og social balance mellem kandidatlandene og de eksisterende EU-lande.
There was very little to show at the last budget conciliation meeting between Parliament's delegation, led by Budgets Committee chair Terry WYNN (PES, UK), and the Budget Council chaired by Gianluigi MAGRI , State Secretary at the Italian Finance Ministry.
Dette er et af hovedbudskaberne i en betænkning af den østrigske socialdemokrat Harald ETTL .
One of the few achievements to emerge from the conciliation meeting ahead of the Council's first reading of the 2004 draft budget concerns Commission action to take account of Parliament's agricultural spending priorities (in particular the setting up of an insurance scheme for farmers) in the end-of-year letter of amendment.
Uheldige tendenser på arbejdsmarkedet Beskæftigelsesudvalget konstaterer, at der er nogle uheldige tendenser i kandidatlandene, herunder at beskæftigelsen for mænd falder som følge af strukturomvæltninger i industrisektoren.
The Commission is also being asked to submit, in autumn, an assessment of the financial implications of the CAP reform.
Der bliver færre varige fuldtidsjob, mens usikre beskæftigelsesformer som tidsbegrænsede ansættelser og deltidsarbejde bliver mere udbredte.
However, there is continuing disagreement on the external action heading.
Derudover har den hurtige overgang fra planøkonomi til markedsøkonomi øget fattigdommen for udsatte befolkningsgrupper.
The Council, which wants Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) appropriations to rise to €52.6m, was unable to state its reasons for the 8.4% increase or account for the large reserve set aside for the appropriations (32%).
Der er stagnation i beskæftigelsen i kandidatlandene , hvilket bl.a. er en følge af, at produktiviteten pr. arbejdstager i gennemsnit ligger på mindre end 50 % af den samlede produktivitet i EU .
With regard to the agreement of 25 November 2002 obliging the Council to give Parliament information on CFSP actions (and their impact on the Union's budget), the Council restated its view that that obligation does not extend to European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP) actions.
Landbrug og industri De fleste arbejdstagere i kandidatlandene er beskæftiget indenfor landbrug og industri , og servicesektoren er stadig ringe udviklet.
Parliament did not, therefore, have to be notified about the Macedonia and Congo missions because, according to the Council, they had been funded solely by the Member States and not by the Community budget.
Situationen er særligt problematisk i lande som Rumænien, Bulgarien og Polen, hvor 37-40 % af de beskæftigede befinder sig i industrisektoren .
There is no Parliament-Council agreement on administrative expenditure (heading 5).
Uddannelse og ligebehandling Beskæftigelsesudvalget mener, at det er nødvendigt at der gøres en større indsats for at fremme en holdbar og afbalanceret beskæftigelsespolitik i by- og landområderne i kandidatlandene.
Parliament wants to assess the Council's cuts in the enlargement posts requested by the Commission.
Endvidere understreger udvalget, at det er centralt at forbedre industriarbejdernes faglige kvalifikationer , iværksætte bredere uddannelse af arbejdskraften samt at sikre videreuddannelse.
For the time being, Council is also refusing to " front-load " its property spending in 2004, despite the likelihood of a margin in heading 5 that would allow such action and despite the impending management problems affecting its buildings stock.
Der er stadig udbredte problemer hvad angår ligebehandling af handicappede og minoriteter i kandidatlandene.
To wind up, attention is drawn to fisheries spending.
Især romaerne , der i Bulgarien, Rumænien og Slovenien udgør ca. 9 % af befolkningen, er truede af fattigdom.
The operation to scrap fishing vessels is unlikely to be given the €32m in funding originally proposed, since the Member States have not made the appropriate requests.
”Prestiges” forlis: Hvad kan vi lære?

Skærpelse af sikkerheden til søs efter olietankeren Prestiges forlis
Report on the Draft Amending Budget N° 4/2003 of the European Union for the financial year 2003, Section III – Commission
Den 19. november 2002 sank olietankeren "Prestige" ud for den spanske kyst ved Galicien efter at den havde drevet rundt i stormvejr i 6 dage.
The Commission is proposing to revise the financing of the budget on the basis of more recent economic forecasts.
"Prestiges " havari og dens forlis har fremkaldt en miljømæssig og økonomisk katastrofe af usædvanlige dimensioner .
The result is a repartition of the national contributions to the EU budget different from what was initially budgeted and different from the previous amending budget 3/2003.
Det er navnlig gået ud over fiskeri- og turistsektoren i Galicien og naboregionerne.
The changes concern in particular:
Man beder også Kommissionen underrette EP om de planer medlemslandene har vedtaget og iværksat for at opsuge olien i vraget og bringe de fortsat forurenende udslip til ophør.
- updating the correction of budgetary imbalances in favour of the United Kingdom for the year 2002.
EP's transportudvalg beklager, at der mere end et halvt år efter forliset stadig er omkring 35.000 tons brændselsolie tilbage i det sunkne skib , hvoraf en mængde på ca. et ton siver ud dagligt, uden at de spanske myndigheder har formået at finde en endegyldig løsning på olieudslippet.
Ombudsman and petitions: two channels for the European public to lodge complaints
Derfor må opsugningen af den brændselsolie, som stadig findes i "Prestiges" skrog, prioriteres højt.
The Earl of STOCKTON (EPP-ED, South West)
Transportudvalget peger på, at alle involverede parter fra første færd var af den opfattelse, at skaderne på "Prestige" var så alvorlige, at skibet ikke ville kunne klare en storm, men at de spanske myndigheder alligevel havde beordret det nødstedte skib bragt i rum sø i den overbevisning, at de derved ville få mere tid til at bekæmpe forureningen.

veludstyrede nødhavne.
Joint debate : 25.09.2003
EP's transportudvalg fastslår, at "Prestige"-katastrofen klart har vist, at bestemmelserne for modtagelse af nødstedte skibe fortsat er utilstrækkelige, og man opfordrer medlemslandene til - i samarbejde med det Europæiske Agentur for Søfartssikkerhed - at sikre hurtig og fuld overensstemmelse mellem de nationale katastrofeberedskaber og udpegning af tilflugtsområder.
Two draft resolutions for the Petitions Committee by Lord STOCKTON (EPP-ED, UK) on the European Ombudsman's annual report for 2002 and a report by Laura GONZÁLEZ ÁLVAREZ (EUL/NGL, E) on the work of the Petitions Committee during the year 2002-2003 form the basis of a joint debate on the rights of the citizen to obtain information from the EU institutions.
Klar kommandovej Udvalget kræver, at alle medlemslande skal disponere over en klar struktur for beslutningstagning og en kommandovej ved katastrofer på havet og over en uafhængig myndighed, som har den fornødne juridiske, finansielle og tekniske kompetence til at træffe afgørelser af bindende karakter i tilfælde af katastrofesituationer i de territoriale farvande og den eksklusive økonomiske zone.
The role of the Ombudsman is to investigate cases of maladministration by the Community institutions, while the Petitions Committee deals with petitions from citizens on any matter falling within the Community's sphere of competence.
Man opfordrer endvidere Kommissionen til at undersøge muligheden for at indføre trafiksepareringssystemer i Østersøen og Nordsøen og navnlig ved den portugisiske og spanske Atlanterhavskyst og aflægge beretning herom til Europa-Parlamentet.
In addition, they believe co-operation with the Ombudsman could be improved.
Endelig opfordrer man Kommissionen til at fremskynde etableringen af en flåde af forureningsbekæmpelsesskibe.
Turning to its own work, the committee points to the success achieved in terms of the EU's impact on the lives of its citizens through the use of petitions.
Det ventes, at Rumænien - sammen med Bulgarien - bliver EU-medlemmer i 2007.

Beskatning af energi og elektricitet: Et grønt europæisk skattesystem!
2. on the initiative by the Hellenic Republic on a Council Regulation on procedures for amending the Sirene Manual
Mangelfuldt direktiv I en betænkning af Pierre JONCKHEER (VERTS/ALE, B) er Økonomiudvalget tilfredse med, at Rådet er blevet enige om et energibeskatningsdirektiv, der omfatter alle energiformer.
Carlos COELHO (EPP-ED, P), for the Citizens’ Rights Committee, will be tabling a non-binding draft resolution amending the Greek initiative on the Schengen Information System.
Udvalget er dog mindre begejstrede for indholdet af direktivet , der med få undtagelser har ignoreret EP’s holdning i betænkningen fra 1999.
It says that certain parts of the Sirene Manual (i.e. the articles that deal with rather sensitive issues of a political nature, such as data protection and state security) should not be amended by the comitology procedure but should instead remain subject to change by a legislative procedure.
Kritikpunkter For det første er de minimumssatser, Rådet har vedtaget og som træder i kraft 1. januar 2004, lavere end de satser, EU-Parlamentet foreslog i 1999.
Another amendment seeks to bring the comitology provisions in the proposed Regulation and the proposed Decision in line with each other.
Opfordringer til Rådet Joncker opfordrer Rådet til følgende:
Assistance in the case of transit (removal by air)

Timothy KIRKHOPE (EPP-ED, UK), for the Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights Committee, will be putting forward a non-binding draft resolution on assistance in cases of transit for purposes of removal by air.
de 10 nye medlemsstater vil få problemer med inflation hvis afgiftsniveauet harmoniseres, og de vil dermed have svært ved at opfylde kravene til ØMU-medlemsskab,
The committee is proposing this draft resolution because the first report was referred back to committee by the plenary sitting of 10 April.
Kommissionens forslag forsømmer at redegøre for, hvordan differentierede afgiftssatser for diesel til erhvervsformål og til ikke-erhvervsmæssig brug kan fungere i praksis.
The committee reinstates the amendments adopted in committee on 25 March 2003 which sought to: ensure the safe transit of travel documents; clarify the ability of escorts to take measures for self-defence and in an emergency; and provide appropriate information to the airline concerned.

Following the signing of the Accession Treaties on 16 April 2003 in Athens by the 10 accession countries (excluding Romania & Bulgaria), it should be remembered that the Dublin II Regulation and Schengen Acquis will apply for these countries.
Den seneste tids tilbageslag på aktiemarkederne betyder, at vi har brug for en solid retlig og reguleringsmæssig ramme som støtte for investortilliden og likviditeten , således at de finansielle markeder kan trives.
Romania and Bulgaria would not be covered by the Regulation until the Council has made a decision ” at a later date ” (Article 6, 2).
Klarhed og finjustering I en betænkning af den britiske konservative Theresa VILLIERS fremlægger EP's økonomiudvalg 144 ændringsforslag til Kommissionens direktivforslag.

Europæisk rumpolitik: Grønbog fra EU-Kommissionen Onsdag den 8. oktober skal EP drøfte en betænkning om europæisk rumpolitik.
Top of the agenda is a debate on the preparation for the Brussels European Council to be held on 16-17 October under the Italian Presidency where further negotiations on the draft Constitution are expected to take place.
Betænkningen bygger på EU-Kommissionens Grønbog, der har til formål at gøre den europæiske rumpolitik mere effektiv.
Wednesday also sees the House debating how to legislate in a more efficient way.
EP's forskningsudvalg er bekymrede over den tydelige forskel i de offentlige budgetter for rumpolitikken, der eksisterer mellem Europa og USA.
There are also debates on European space policy, the security of tunnels and emergency funding following natural disasters in the EU.
De offentlige udgifter til rumforskning i USA udgjorde i 2001 mere end 60 % af verdensmarkedet for sådanne produkter - mod kun 14 % i Europa .
Further negotiations are expected on the draft Constitution of Europe following the official opening of the intergovernmental conference.
I betænkningerne forholder man sig til EU-Kommissionens hvidbog fra 2001 om nye styreformer i EU.
As from 2002, and in accordance with the Treaty of Nice, at least one European Council per Presidency is held in Brussels.
Formålet med hvidbogen er at sikre, at EU-lovgivningen bliver fleksibel og dermed mere effektiv.

Flyselskabernes udlevering af personoplysninger ved flyvninger over Atlanten
Motion for a resolution further to oral question to the Commission B5-0277/2003 pursuant to Rule 42 (5) of the Rules of Procedure on transfer of personal data by airlines in the case of transatlantic flights: state of negotiations with the USA
Johanna L.A. BOOGERD-QUAAK (ELDR, NL) har på vegne af retsudvalget fremlagt et forslag til beslutning om videregivelse af personoplysninger fra luftfartsselskaber i forbindelse med transatlantiske flyvninger.
Johanna BOOGERD-QUAAK (ELDR, NL), on behalf of the Citizens' Rights Committee, unanimously will be putting forward a draft resolution on the transfer of personal data by airlines to the US authorities in the case of transatlantic flights.
I beslutningsforslaget gøres der status over forhandlingerne med USA og herunder kritiserer EP de amerikanske myndigheder for ikke at yde tilstrækkelig beskyttelse af personoplysninger.
The US authorities want European airlines to deliver 39 " information fields " from the " passenger name records " (PNR) database - " information fields " being data such as a passenger's telephone number or meal preferences.
at forhindre diskrimination af ikke-amerikanske statsborgere,
there must be no discrimination against non-US passengers and no retention of data beyond the length of a passenger's stay in the US;
at passagerer ved køb af billet underrettes om og giver deres samtykke til, at der videregives personoplysninger til de amerikanske myndigheder og
passengers must be notified upon purchase of their ticket and give their informed consent to the transfer of personal data to the US;
at passagerer har adgang til hurtig og effektiv klageprocedure, hvis der skulle opstå problemer.
passengers must have access to swift and efficient appeal procedures, should any problems arise.
