Løsning på kort sigt : Kommissionen lægger op til, at alle nye automatiske bompengesystemer, der er sat i drift fra og med den 1. januar 2005 - og skal benyttes af lastvogne af alle kategorier og/eller busser - skal bygge på en eller flere af de følgende teknologier i forbindelse med den automatiske opkrævning af bompenge: 1) Satellitpositionsbestemmelse, 2) Mobil kommunikation eller 3) 5,8 GHz mikrobølger.
He explained that Parliament had agreed to the application of the new rules to the whole Austrian territory, as Austria, the Council and the Commission wanted, although the EP had originally called for the system be restricted to certain Alpine regions only.
De systemer, der tages i brug før den 1. januar 2008, vil skulle opgive mikrobølgeteknologien den 1. januar 2012.
Mr Imbeni stressed that this agreement was the best available solution.
Allerede i 2005 skal mindst 50 % af vognbanerne ved alle betalingssteder udstyres med automatisk afgiftsopkrævning.
EP rapporteur Paolo COSTA (ELDR, I) added that Parliament had shown that it would respect privileges given to Austria and he argued that the interpretation of this agreement made by the Austrian representatives was not correct.
Europæiske bompengetjeneste Den europæiske bompengetjeneste etableres fra og med den 1. januar 2005 for alle vejinfrastrukturer i EU og skal omfatte hele dette net med en enkelt abonnementsaftale, og der skal kunne tegnes abonnement hos alle operatører, som forvalter en del af dette vejnet.
Of the Alpine regions, Austria was still the best treated area, said Mr Costa, given that other regions in Germany, Italy and France were facing the same environmental problems and were not protected by an ecopoints system.
EP vedtog en betænkning af den tyske socialdemokrat Renate SOMMER om Kommissionens direktivforslag.
Of the MEPs on the Parliament delegation, nine voted in favour and five against (three Austrian and two German MEPs).
I ændringsforslag 3 fastslår EP, at direktivet ikke berører medlemsstaternes frihed til at fastsætte deres afgiftsordninger for vejbenyttelse .
Hannes SWOBODA (PES, A), Reinhard RACK (EPP-ED, A) and Johannes VOGGENHUBER (Greens/EFA, A) sharply criticised the agreement, arguing that it would lead to unrestricted transit for lorries through Austria and would severely damage the Alpine environment.
Og i ændringsforslag 6 understreger man, at ved indførelsen af nye bompengesystemer er det nødvendigt at sikre, at der forefindes tilstrækkeligt opkrævningsudstyr, så forskelsbehandling af de berørte virksomheder undgås.
How the system works The ecopoints system works by allocating a total number of points per year to each country which wishes its lorries to be allowed to travel through Austria.
Tidligere ordfører: Luciano Emilio CAVERI (ELDR, I)
The more pollution a lorry generates, the more points it uses.
Fælles holdning fastlagt af Rådet med henblik på vedtagelse af Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning om indførelse af et økopointsystem, som finder anvendelse i 2004 på lastvogne, der kører gennem Østrig
Under the agreement, the most polluting lorries (those using more than 8 points) will be banned from 1 January 2004.
I Forligsudvalget er EP's og Ministerrådet nået til enighed om en kompromistekst om det såkaldte "økopointsystem" for lastvognstransit gennem Østrig i 2004 .
On the basis of a Commission proposal, the total number of ecopoints to be allocated to all countries will be 6,593,479 points in 2004, reduced by 5% in 2005 and a further 5% in 2006.
Formålet er at opmuntre til miljøvenlige lastbiler ved transitkørsel gennem Østrig.
After 31 December 2006, the ecopoints system will be replaced by a new scheme of "eurovignettes".
Ifølge kompromiset skal den totale værdi af NOx-emissioner fra tunge lastvogne bestemmes på basis af det tidligere "økopointsystem".
However, if the eurovignettes legislation is adopted and comes into force earlier, this new scheme will replace the ecopoints system before 31 December 2006.
I en betænkning af den italienske liberale Paolo COSTA godkender EP kompromisteksten fra Forligsudvalget, som var den bedst mulige løsning.
The calculation of the points will be based on the total number of transit journeys through Austria made in 2002, multiplied by the NOx factor of 2003.
Paolo Costa sagde efter forliget, at EP herved viser, at det har respekt for Østrigs privilegier, og at den østrigske repræsentants fortolkning ikke var korrekt.
Since the regulation will apply to the new Member States only from 1 May 2004, the number of transit points they are granted for 2004 will be correspondingly reduced by 33.33%.
Andre Alpe-områder i Tyskland, Italien og Frankrig har de samme miljøproblemer med tung lastvognstransport som Østrig, men de har ikke noget "økopointsystem", fastslog Costa.
For 2005 and 2006, the transit points for the accession countries will be reduced in line with the reductions agreed for the current Member States, i.e. 5% per year.
Costa-betænkningen blev vedtaget med 384 stemmer mod 112 - medens 32 undlod at stemme.

Kompromis:Kompensation til flypassagerer!
Compensation to air passengers - approved
Kompromiset om forsinkelser I en betænkning af italieneren Giorgio LISI fra Forza Italia godkender EP kompromisteksten.
The tens of thousands of air travellers who each year face delayed or cancelled flights or are denied boarding as a result of overbooking will be pleased to hear that agreement was reached on financial compensation and assistance to passengers who fall victim to such situations.
Kompromiset om forsinkelser viste sig at være det vanskeligste problem at løse, og det bygger på en ordning med 3 niveauer : Ved forsinkelser på 2 timer eller mere afhængig af flyvningens længde tilbydes flypassagererne under alle omstændigheder måltider og forfriskninger i forhold til ventetiden såvel som 2 gratis telefonopringninger, telex, fax eller e-mail.
EP Vice-President Charlotte CEDERSCHIOLD (EPP-ED, S), who led the Parliament delegation, and rapporteur Giorgio LISI (EPP-ED, I) welcomed the agreement, which they believe offers fair financial compensation to travellers who are denied boarding.
Når forsinkelsen er på mindst 5 timer, skal flypassagerne have mulighed for at vælge mellem refusion af hele billetprisen , samt - hvis det er relevant - en returflyvning til vedkommendes første afgangssted.
If a passenger has paid for an air ticket he is entitled to the service offered, such as reaching his destination at the appointed time.
Flypassager-data:Aftale mellem EU-Kommissionen og USA!
Otherwise he must be properly looked after and in some cases reimbursed or compensated.
Kravet er kommet fra USA efter det frygtelige terrorangreb på World Trade Center den 11. september 2001 - hvor ca. 3.000 mennesker blev dræbt .
"Parliament called for moderate levels of financial compensation as excessive amounts would have rebounded against all passengers because these would then have been clawed back in the form of higher ticket prices" said rapporteur Giorgio Lisi.
Amerikanerne ser kravet om udlevering af flypassagerers personlige data som et led i bekæmpelsen af terrorisme .
Agreement was also reached on the definition of " cancellation ", which will mean the non-operation of a flight which was previously planned and on which at least one place was reserved.
Den hollandske EU-kommissær Frits BOLKESTEIN sagde i tirsdags i EP-udvalget, at "I dag har Kommissionen anvendt sin politiske dømmekraft og besluttet at bringe skred i tingene".
Compensation for cancellation will be graduated in the same way and on the basis of the same figures as cases of denied boarding.
Han oplyste, at forhandlingerne på ingen måde havde været nemme, men amerikanerne havde givet en række indrømmelser.
As regards delays, where a flight is at least five hours late, passengers must be offered a choice between reimbursement within seven days of the full ticket at the price at which it was bought or a return flight to the first point of departure at the earliest opportunity.
Og EP's stærke pres har spillet en vigtig rolle, sagde Bolkestein.
It should be noted that the financial compensation will be added to the ticket refund.
De fleste af de følsomme emner Kommissionen havde peget på i juni 2003 var blevet løst.
If a journey is part of a package (e.g. hotel, plane and meals) it is not the travel agent who must give the refund or compensation but the airline.
Hovedpunkterne i aftalen er:
Travel agents and air carriers must organise themselves accordingly.
Bolkestein fastslog, at der med aftalen var sat klare grænser for mængden af de personlige data fra flypassagerer, som skal udleveres til de amerikanske myndigheder - listen er nu lukket med 34 "elementer" af personoplysninger.
The passenger must not suffer as a result of such arrangements and must be reimbursed and compensated by the air carrier.
USA har accepteret kun at opbevare personoplysningerne i 3 ½ år .
Other tourist mishaps are already covered by another directive.
USA havde oprindeligt ønsket at opbevare dem i 50 år!
Assistance to passengers Travellers must also be given free meals and refreshments.
Flypassagerernes personlige data vil ikke blive anvendt af US CAPPS II-systemet.
If a stay of one or more nights becomes necessary, hotel accommodation must be provided.
USA accepterede til sidst en sikkerhedsklausul i form af en "fælles revision" med EU hvert år .
Hotel accommodation and transport to the hotel will be paid for when the time of departure is at least a day after the original departure time.
USA er nu rede til at anerkende, at EU's databeskyttelses-myndigheder repræsenterer enhver flypassagers klager til "the Department of Homeland Security".
In addition, passengers will be offered two telephone calls, telex or fax messages or e-mails free of charge.
Forbrydelser begået i ens hjemland er dermed ikke omfattet.
However, according to the rapporteur this was too soon given the consequences for the companies and their need for time to adjust.
"Proportionalitet" og "balance" Den spanske EU-transportkommissær Loyola de PALACIO understregede, at "nøgleordene bag aftalen er "proportionalitet" og "balance"" .
"In the EU around 250,000 passengers are denied boarding every year and cancellations are even more frequent.
Den britiske EU-udenrigskommissær Chris PATTEN fastslog, at forhandlingerne havde været "exceptionally tough" .
Airlines will face serious financial consequences and they require a little time to prepare" , said Mr Lisi.
Han mente, at det var et positivt skridt at USA hermed rådfører sig med EU på beslutningstager-niveau - "at the policy-making stage".
The new rules will apply to all EU airlines arriving at or departing from an airport in the European Union, and also to non-EU airlines flying on certain routes inside the Community.
Forenelighed med EU-ret?
MEPs took the view that it was irrational, unfair and a distortion of competition to compensate for denied boarding or a long delay of a plane journey between two European cities whilst not offering compensation in similar circumstances for a high-speed train journey between the same two cities or a Channel ferry between Dover and Calais.
Flere MEP'er betvivlede aftalens forenelighed med gældende EU-ret .
Parliament's delegation agreed unanimously to the results of the conciliation negotiations.
Den hollandske liberale Johanna BOOGERD-QUAAK mente, at "i øjeblikket befinder vi os i en illegal situation".
Rapporteur Giorgio Lisi stressed that Parliament had managed to make a complex piece of legislation clearer.
Den østrigske PPE'er Hubert PIRKER spurgte, om "disse 34 typer persondata alle tjener til at bekæmpe terrorisme?" og "hvem skal have adgang til disse data?".
Now the Member States must inform passengers of their new rights.
Den britiske konservative Jacqueline FOSTER spurgte om, hvilken debat man ville have haft i udvalget "hvis et af vore lande var blevet angrebet den 11. september - i stedet for USA? ", og en anden britisk konservativ James NICHOLSON mindede MEP'erne om, at "når man går ind i forhandlinger, så kan man ikke vinde hvert point!".
"Thanks to this new legislation, passengers will no longer be left to their fate in airports but will be compensated and, if necessary, provided with accommodation" , he said .

Kraftvarmeproduktion er et miljø- og energipolitisk instrument til højnelse af energieffektiviteten og forbedring af forsyningssikkerheden.
Parliament considerably amended Commission proposals on the introduction of electronic road systems in the Community.
Derfor har EU-Kommissionen fremlagt et direktivforslag, som har til formål at øge kraftvarmeproduktionens andel af den samlede el-produktion i EU gennem målrettede tiltag såsom
MEPs felt that these proposals were going too far and too soon and took the view that quality should come before rapidity.
afhjælpning af hindringer for udbygning af kraftvarmeproduktion,
As the functioning of the system was the most important condition for the introduction of a European toll service, it should not start before 1 January 2007, 2 years later than the Commission had proposed.
særlige ordninger for, hvordan el fra kraftvarmeproduktion kan tilføres nettet og
Amendments were adopted in favour of the European satellite navigation system GALILEO, it was argued that by using the new satellite positioning and mobile communication technologies in the context of Galileo the efficiency of transport systems and road safety would be increased.
særlig fremme af mikrokraftvarmeenheder.
The House also pointed out that it was not up to the Commission to impose certain technologies.
Desuden skal direktivet skabe grundlag for en ensartet definition og beregningsmetode for kraftvarmeproduktion.
These decisions should be taken by industry, the Member States and other parties concerned.
Kompromisforslag EP vedtog en betænkning af den tyske socialdemokrat Norbert GLANTE , hvori man accepterer kompromiset mellem EP og Ministerrådet, som indeholder 20 kompromisændringsforslag.
Some MEPs voiced their concern that existing toll systems (e.g. the system introduced in London last year) would also come under the scope of the Commission proposals.
Kompromisændringerne erstatter de ændringsforslag, som EP's industriudvalg vedtog den 2. december.
In the debate, Commissioner De Palacio said however that this would not be the case.
Forhandlingerne med Rådet var meget komplicerede, fordi nogle medlemslande, som ikke ønskede direktivet overhovedet, truede med at blokere forhandlingerne.
Lastly, an electronic toll system was to be applied on the EU's toll road network on a "one contract per customer, one box per vehicle" basis.
Desuden skal medlemsstaterne oplyse Kommissionen om deres nationale mål for årene 2015 og 2020.
Parliament votes for compromise on combined heat and power
Procedure: Fælles beslutningsforslag
Procedure : Codecision (2nd reading))
Man beklager i denne forbindelse den indlysende manglende vilje hos stats- og regeringscheferne til at fokusere på den fælles europæiske interesse.
Parliament today approved a deal hammered out with the Council on a directive designed to promote the use of combined heat and power (CHP).
EP opfordrer det italienske EU-formandskab til at offentliggøre en detaljeret liste om de 82 punkter , det hævder man nåede til enighed om under regeringskonferencen før sammenbruddet den 13. december.
The compromise amendments replace the amendments adopted by the Industry Committee on 2 December.
Procedure: Fælles beslutningsforslag
Definition of CHP and micro-cogeneration
EP vedtog en beslutning om det italienske EU-formandskabs konklusioner fra EU-topmødet i Bruxelles 12.-13. december 2003.
The heat produced by cogeneration is used for purposes such as district heating, water heating, refrigeration or as industrial heat.
Selvom topmødet fik betegnelsen "fiaskoen i Bruxelles" på grund af den manglende enighed om de institutionelle spørgsmål i forfatningsudkastet, så enedes man om mange andre vigtige punkter , som det fremår af formandskabets konklusioner.
The advantages, as compared to "separate generation", are energy savings and reduced CO2 emissions.
Stats- og regeringscheferne enedes således om erklæringer om bl.a. følgende punkter:
A Community strategy to promote CHP has been in place since 1997.
udenrigs-, sikkerheds- og forsvarspolitik m.m.
Calculation methods and timetables
Man peger i stedet på behovet for større fokus på implementering og resultater, hvis "Lissabon-målene" skal nås.
The most important point in the negotiations related to calculation methods for cogenerated energy.
"Lissabon-processen" går ud på, at gøre EU til verdens mest videnbaserede og konkurrencedygtige økonomi inden 2010!
Parliament was initially keen for a single harmonised calculation method to be laid down but finally agreed to the Council's wish to allow alternative calculation methods, which may now be used either until 2010 or even for an unlimited period.
Man beklager endvidere, at det Europiske Råd i Bruxelles ikke drøftede Guantanamo-fangernes rettigheder til en retfærdig rettergang.
In addition, harmonised methods for the calculation of cogenerated energy should be adjustable to take account of technical progress.
Decentraliseret samarbejde i u-landene:Ny finansieringsramme og forlængelse
More funds for local NGOs in developing countries
EP vedtog en betænkning af Jürgen ZIMMERLING (PPE-DE, D) om decentraliseret samarbejde i ulandene.
Parliament adopted a series of amendments to the Commission's proposal on a funding instrument for decentralised cooperation.
Der var 415, der stemte for, 45, der stemte imod og 11, der undlod at stemme.
The Commission is proposing to extend the regulation for a further three years.
I en forordning fra 1999 blev der skabt en finansieringsramme til at støtte tiltag og initiativer iværksat af aktører i decentraliseret samarbejde til fordel for og i ulandene.
By funding poverty reduction and sustainable development projects in this way, the Commission aims to encourage a more participatory approach to developments, responsive to the needs and initiatives of the populations of the countries concerned.
EP forkastede - på opfordring fra ordfører Zimmerling - et ændringsforslag om, at fastsætte finansieringsrammen til gennemførelse af programmet til 36 mio. euro i perioden 2004-2006 (ændringsforslag 5).
Again, this repeats the provision inserted by the Parliament at the time of the previous extension.
Zimmerlings argument var, at en forkastelse af dette ændringsforslag vil kunne medvirke til at sikre retsgrundlaget.

Parliament adopted a joint resolution on arms sales to China with 373 votes in favour, 32 against and 29 abstentions.
Taiwan EP understreger, at Kina må dokumentere, at landet har gjort væsentlige fremskridt på menneskerettighedsområdet, før EU kan overveje at ophæve embargoen.
MEPs strongly believe that China needs to prove it has made significant progress on human rights before the EU can consider lifting the ban.
Ligeledes mener EP, at det - i betragtning af de kinesiske trusler mod Taiwan - ikke er hensigtsmæssigt at åbne mulighed for en ophævelse af den europæiske våbenembargo.
MEPs believe it is the wrong time, in view of Chinese threats against Taiwan, to open the way to a lifting of the European arms embargo.
Andreasen advarede endvidere imod, at ignorere, at diktaturstaten Kina truer det demokratiske Taiwan.

GMO-afgrøder og konventionelt og økologisk landbrug:Sameksistens
Support for Georgia essential
Ordfører: Friedrich-Wilhelm GRAEFE zu BARINGDORF (Verts/ALE, D)
Joint motion for a resolution on Georgia
EP vedtog - uden ændringer - en betænkning af Friedrich-Wilhelm GRAEFE zu BARINGDORF (Verts/ALE, D) om sameksistensen mellem genetisk modificerede afgrøder (GMO) og konventionelt og økologisk landbrug.
MEPs adopted a resolution by 61 votes in favour and one against with no abstenstions congratulating the people of Georgia for the peaceful political changes they have recently set in motion.
Problematikken indskriver sig i den igangværende debat om, hvordan man adskiller GMO'er fra konventionelt og økologisk dyrkede afgrøder og foderplanter .
They argue that the EU should show determined leadership in promoting peace, stability and economic development in Georgia, as well as Azerbaijan and Armenia.
EP ønsker, at indføre en streng og mere effektiv beskyttelse af konventionelle og økologiske landbrug imod utilsigtet GMO-forurening.
MEPs stress that the forthcoming elections in Georgia must be fair, free and transparent, and must include the people of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
EP understreger, at der er brug for fælles EU-regler om sameksistens og imødegår dermed EU-Kommissionens forslag om, at dette skal henhøre under nærhedsprincippet.
They call on the Council and Commission to support the new Georgian authorities by providing political, financial and technical assistance to stabilise the situation, develop a strategy for reforms and prepare for the general elections.
Endvidere mener EP, at GMO-producenter skal kunne holdes ansvarlige for eventuel forurening af konventionelle og økologiske produkter.
The TACIS programme for Georgia should also be stepped up to help strengthen civil society and support the independent media.
Man opfordrer i den forbindelse Kommissionen til at fremlægge et forslag om civilretligt ansvar og forsikring imod mulige finansielle skadevirkninger i sammenhæng med sameksistensen, der skal gælde for hele EU-området.
Parliament requests the Russian authorities to fulfil their undertaking made in 1999 to close their military bases and withdraw from Russia, while insisting that the Georgian authorities ensure the effective rule of law over the entire territory of Georgia, including the fight against terrorism.
Forberedelse af EU-topmødet i Bruxelles den 26. marts
Death sentence in the Philippines
EP vedtog et fælles beslutningsforslag om den politiske situation i Georgien.
MEPs adopted a resolution expressing profound regret at this decision and calling on President Arroyo to reverse it.
EP fremhæver, at den georgiske befolkning på fredelig vis har været i stand til at påvirke landets præsidentembede og dermed præsident Eduard Sjevardnadses tilbagetræden den 23. november 2003.
Parliament calls on the government of the Philippines in any event to enforce the law prohibiting the sentencing of child offenders to death and to review actual cases involving minors to ensure the age of any suspect is clearly established prior to sentencing.
EP glæder sig især over den bemærkelsesværdige modenhed, som den georgiske befolkning har udvist under den fredelige "rosenrevolution".
MEPs also call on the Commission and Council to make full use of items in the EU budget for the promotion of democracy and human rights and to prioritise any initiative aimed at achieving the repeal of the death penalty.

Joint motion for a resolution on Moldova
EP konstaterer, at den moldoviske regering ikke har været i stand til at stabilisere økonomien og skabe mere demokratiske tilstande.
MEPs consider that the Moldovan government has not been able to stabilise the economy and establish greater democracy and is convinced that a rapid solution of the Transnistrian conflict would contribute considerably to the stabilisation of Moldova's economy and also strengthen democracy.
