I dag går ca. en tiendedel af EU's BNP til offentlige udgifter til pensioner og alle prognoser peger på, at pensionssystemerne i fremtiden kommer til at veje tungere i de offentlige udgifter.
Member States shall not be impeded from taking measures to protect workers and consumers by prohibiting or restricting the use of certain high Volatile Organic Compounds containing products.
Endelig var EP enige om, at det er nødvendigt at hæve den reelle pensionsalder, da den nuværende situation, hvor den reelle pensionsalder er betydeligt lavere end den lovbestemte pensionsalder - som følge af udbredt førtidspensionering - er helt uholdbar set i lyset af de økonomiske udfordringer, der ligger forude.

Interimsrapport om fremskridtene i EU's bidrag til WSSD-gennemførelsesplanen
The Commission is invited to incorporate in its report on the revision of the regulation the proposals made by Parliament in this resolution and to publish its report by 31 January 2004.
EP vedtog en beslutning om EU's opfølgning på verdenstopmødet i Johannesburg om bæredygtig udvikling (WSSD).
Parliament adopted a resolution on the Lloyd's of London petitions with 358 votes in favour, 0 against and 35 abstentions.
EP peger på behovet for omgående at følge op på de forpligtelser, der blev indgået i Johannesburg, og at en effektiv opfølgning vil være det bedste bevis på EU's forpligtelse til bæredygtig udvikling.
Seeking eventual recompense through the Courts and further action from the European Commission, several petitioners, either members or former members of Lloyd’ s of London, insist that the UK government had not properly transposed nor correctly applied Insurance Directive 73/239/EEC when it eventually became operable in national law in 1982 - which was in any case four years late.
EU bør fortsat stille sig i spidsen for opfølgningsprocessen, og EU og dets medlemslande bør nu fastlægge ambitiøse handlings- og tidsplaner.
MEPs insist that a specific response be provided in writing by the Commission to the European Parliament and its competent committee regarding any shortcomings and omissions the Commission believe to have occurred in the proper transposition and application of the Directives referred to in the report, for the period 1978 - 2001.
I Johannesburg forpligtede EU sig til at:

The Earl of STOCKTON (EPP-ED, South West)
EP vedtog en betænkning af W.G. van VELZEN (PPE-DE, NL) om videreanvendelse af den offentlige sektors dokumenter.
They therefore welcomed the close co-operation between the Member States in the area of pensions through the ” open method of co-ordination ”.
Der var fremsat i alt 24 ændringsforslag, der alle blev vedtaget.
The House stresses the need, when looking at pensions policy, to strike a balance between social and financial concerns.
Formålet med EU-Kommissionens direktivforslag var, at skabe et regelsæt for kommerciel og ikke-kommerciel brug af informationer fra den offentlige sektor.
The report concludes that public pensions schemes, due to their inherently strong redistributional effects, remain vital in providing for a socially acceptable allocation and distribution of income for pensioners.
Bedre udnyttelse af informationer Den offentlige sektor indsamler mangeartede informationer, herunder om sociale, økonomiske, geografiske og uddannelsesmæssige forhold.
The report adds that full employment, with quality jobs in a healthy and safe working environment, is the best way to ensure the sustainability of pensions.
EP var enige om, at en bedre udnyttelse af disse informationer vil medvirke til, at personer og firmaer opnår større fordele af det Indre Marked .
They see an opportunity to maintain the fairness of statutory pensions by increasing the flexibility of the pensionable age and the transition from work to retirement.
Sikre adgang til on-line søgning på dokumenter EP vedtog bl.a. følgende ændringsforslag:
The report also draws attention to societal changes, which must be borne in mind when taking steps to modernise pensions systems.
at der indføres en tidsfrist på højst 3 uger fra en tilladelse til videreanvendelse af informationer bliver givet, og til de pågældende dokumenter bliver udleveret,
It points to the rise in the number of atypical and mobile workers, who are not well covered by pensions systems, and calls for procedures to be developed to protect them and guarantee them fair old-age insurance.
at medlemsstaterne skal foretage de nødvendige praktiske foranstaltninger for at sikre adgang til on-line søgning på dokumenter og
The Parliament also calls on the Member States to eliminate from their pensions systems any remaining forms of discrimination on grounds of sex and to increase the level of employment among women at equal pay levels.
at myndigheder, når det er muligt, tager hensyn til handicappedes muligheder for at anvende dokumenter.
It also wants the Member States to address the question of continuity of membership of pension systems during leave taken in order to care for children or other dependants, pointing out that it tended to be women who take carer's leave and that they should not therefore be penalised in terms of pension accrual.

EP vedtog en betænkning af Phillip WHITEHEAD (PSE, UK) om EU-Kommissionens rammeforslag til finansiel støtte til forbrugerområdet i EU for perioden 2004 til 200 7.
MEPs approved a first reading deal with 503 votes in favour, 20 against and 18 abstentions, reached by a Committee delegation and the Council.
EU's forbrugerpolitiske strategi EU's strategi for forbrugerpolitik har tre hovedmålsætninger:
The deal also introduces an ' early warning system ' which means that the Commission will inform the applicants at an early stage if they are not eligible for funding or their application is incomplete.
effektiv håndhævelse af forbrugerbeskyttelsesreglerne og
According to the deal, €72m will be spent on consumer organisations between 2004 and 2007, but €18m still has to be confirmed in the upcoming financial perspectives, valid from January 1 2007 .
inddragelse af forbrugerorganisationerne i EU's politikker.
The proposed financing strategy encourages actions that aim to strengthen consumer organisations which are genuinely independent.
Utilstrækkeligt budget EP var generelt tilfredse med EU-Kommissionens rammeforslag.
Furthermore, organisations should provide data to the Commission on their members, internal functioning and their sources of financing.
Dog mente EP, at Kommissionens budgetforslag på 104 mio. euro for perioden 2004 til 2007 var utilstrækkeligt , især set i lyset af EU's forestående udvidelse med ti nye lande.
In that manner, the Union will not repeat the errors of the past by financing organisations that are not totally independent of public authorities, firms or commercial interests.
EP understregede i den forbindelse, at der er et presserende behov for at fremme nye uafhængige forbrugerorganisationers bidrag til udvikling af civilsamfundet i de kommende medlemslande.
The adoption of the compromise package at first reading will ensure the continuation of the Community financing for European consumer organisations from the start of next year, when the present financial framework expires.
Mordet på Anna Lindh:Mindeord af Pat Cox
Procedure : Own-initiative report
En velkendt skikkelse Cox fremhævede, at Anna Lindh var en velkendt skikkelse i Europa-Parlamentet både i kraft af hendes rolle som rådsformand under det svenske EU-formandsskab samt i kraft af, at mange medlemmer af EP var personlige venner med hende.
As regards the implementation of the code, the House welcomed the greater harmonisation of statistical data but wanted to see more detailed information on, for example, the type and quantity of arms supplied, the number of licences refused, the reasons for refusal and the country of destination.
Frihed og demokrati Cox understregede, at Anna Lindh var selve indbegrebet af frihed og demokrati , og at hendes død er et stort tab for både Sverige og Europa.
In addition, MEPs called for a verification and post-export monitoring system to be set up, with provision for penalties, and urged the Member States to consider establishing a European arms export control agency.
Han roste Anna Lindh for hendes direkte og uprætentiøse stil og sagde, at Anna Lindh var et eksemplarisk politisk forbillede .
MEPs welcomed the French initiative on establishing an 'International Code on Transparency and Responsibilities for Arms Transfers' based on the model of the EU code, and regretted the lack of US and Russian support for this proposal.
Cox afsluttede sin tale med at bede medlemmerne af EP om at holde et minuts stilhed til minde om Anna Lindh.
Such an international initiative was urgently needed, they said, not least in the light of the latest findings concerning the arming of Iraq.
Cox har såvel på EP's som på egne vegne sendt den dybeste medfølelse til Anna Linds familie, venner, kolleger og til hele det svenske folk.
Lastly, the House felt that arms exports to countries involved in armed conflicts should be banned in principle.
Et stort savn Efter Cox talte den svenske socialdemokrat Jan ANDERSSON .
Parliament adopted a non-binding resolution on the EU-Mauritius fisheries agreement.
Ligeledes udtrykte Andersson den dybeste medfølelse med Anna Lindhs efterladte og sagde, at Anna Lindh netop evnede den svære kunst at kombinere familieliv med en politisk karriere .
On behalf of the European Parliament and in his own name, President Pat COX stated that he had sent the House's most deeply-felt condolences to Anna Lindh's family, to her innumerable friends and colleagues and to the Swedish people.
Anna Lindh og EU Andersson fremhævede Anna Lindh's europæiske engagement , herunder at hun kæmpede for at forankre EU-spørgsmålet i Sverige, og at udvidelsen lå hende meget på sinde.
All who met her came to know and appreciate her exceptional qualities of warmth, intelligence and openness of spirit: Anna Lindh was the exemplary face of European politics.
Letlands JA til EU
Yes from Latvia
Succesfulde folkeafstemninger
67% voted Yes and 32.3% said No.
Cox hilste det positive resultat af folkeafstemningen i Letland om EU-medlemskab, der fandt sted i sidste weekend, velkomment.
The landmark decision, he stated, is the final vote that will pave the way for the European bloc to expand its membership from 15 to 25 countries.

Preparations for the European Council – Economy and Immigration
Repræsentanten fra det italienske udenrigsministerium, Roberto ANTONIONE ankom til Europa-Parlamentet 45 minutter forsinket.
Council and Commission statements on the preparation of the European Council
Åbning af Regeringskonferencen Antonione fremhævede, at sidste weekends åbning af Regeringskonferencen var forløbet i en konstruktiv atmosfære og at der var bred enighed om at sikre et positivt resultat, der kan vedtages på Rådets møde i Rom den 12.-13. december.
Roberto ANTONIONE , the Italian Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs, opening the debate on the next European Council to be held in Brussels on the 16-17 October, gave a brief overview of the opening of the Intergovernmental conference held in Rome last week.

He welcomed the participation of Klaus HÄNSCH (PES, D) and Iñigo MÉNDEZ DE VIGO (EPP-ED, E).
at finde fælles løsninger på asyl- og indvandringsområdet og
The Minister also stressed the historical importance of the new Constitution for Europe.
at bidrage til fredsprocessen i Mellemøsten.
It would help the EU, he said, to be more credible on the international stage.
Konkurrence: nøglen til vækst I praksis nåede Antonione kun at redegøre for de to første punkter.
He said there was a broad consensus on the timetable agreed at the Thessaloniki European Council and on the working methods for the IGC.
Det fremgik tydeligt af Antoninos tale, at stimulering af vækst for den europæiske økonomi er det emne, der ligger det italienske formandskab mest på sinde i forbindelse med næste uges Rådsmøde.
Turning to the forthcoming European Council, the Minister stated that the agenda would focus on re-launching the European economy and on asylum and immigration issues.
220 mia. euro til projekter indenfor det transeuropæiske net Prodi sagde, at der i øjeblikket er alt andet end positive signaler , hvad angår den europæiske økonomi.
The President also welcomed the commitment of both the private and public sector to invest heavily in Europe’s transport infrastructure with over €200 billion being spent on 29 different projects by 2020.
Prodi sagde, at der skal lægges pres på medlemsstaterne til at prioritere forskning og udvikling af ny teknologi, og at man skal støtte de fælles europæiske forskningscentre.
Economic growth, he said, could be achieved by reducing taxes and bureaucracy, and this, he stated, was particularly helpful for SMEs.
Franskmanden Francis WURTZ , der talte på vegne af GUE/NGL-gruppen, tog til genmæle overfor Watsons kritik og sagde, at kravene om prisstabilitet og blokering af Frankrigs offentlige udgifter indtil 2007 har direkte konsekvenser for de franske borgere, der må se passivt til, mens der skæres ned i de offentlige ydelser indenfor f.eks. sundhedsvæsen.
Francis WURTZ (F), for the EUL/NGL group, stated that Germany, Italy and Portugal were all in recession and that France was on the verge of the recession.
Della Vedova mente, at den fælles landbrugspolitik skal ud af EU's budget , og at der hermed vil blive frigjort ressourcer til at investere og styrke økonomien.
She was also concerned about the situation in the Middle East, the decision by Turkey to send troops to Iraq ” against the will of the Turkish people ” and the question on nuclear weapons in Iran.
Immigrationspolitik Barón Crespo talte imod nødvendigheden af at skabe et Europæisk Agentur for grænsebevogtning og mente, at spørgsmålet kan løses indenfor allerede eksisterende samarbejdsfora.
In particular, she criticised the Israeli government for not ” coming clean ” on its nuclear weapons and questioned the continuation of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
Han fremhævede, at "hjælp til selvhjælp" til tredjelande vil være den bedste måde at løse problemet med illegal indvandring.
Gerard COLLINS (Munster) for the UEN group underlined the need for reinvigorating the European economy.
3000 arbejdstagere fyres i Belgien Den belgiske grønne Nelly MAES udtrykte dyb bekymring over de seneste tal, der viser at 3000 arbejdstagere skal afskediges fra Ford i Belgien.
Jens-Peter BONDE (DK), for the EDD group, stated that only 50% of Danes knew of the existence of the draft Constitution and 78% were against the loss of a Commissioner with full voting rights.
Endvidere mente han, at kommisærerne burde have mødepligt til Europa-udvalgets møder og hver uge rapportere til dette.
Baroness Ludford was also concerned about civil liberties with regard to the inclusion of bio-metric data on identity papers.
Højtideligt møde:Tale af Letlands præsident
Address by Mrs Vaira VIKE-FREIBERGA, President of the Republic of Latvia
EU-medlemsskab vil ifølge Vike-Freiberga hjælpe Letland til at se fremad og lade fortiden, præget af tab og lidelser, ligge.
Only once the distinction between Old and New Europe was eliminated, she said, would the European Union be fully complete.
Hun mente, at EU bør skele til tidligere, allerede afprøvede metoder, der er blevet brugt i bestræbelserne på at hæve levestandarden i bl.a. Grækenland og Spanien.
In institutional terms, she said that such equality lay in each country's right to nominate a member of the European Commission, who must be equal in every way and have the right to vote, thus ensuring that the Commission remains a "collegial institution".
Samtidig sagde Vike-Freiberga, at Letland har haft bemærkelsesværdige høje vækstrater på det seneste, men at landet stadig mangler meget for at komme på højde med de nuværende EU-lande.
Moreover, Latvia believed that the rotating presidency of the Council of Ministers should remain one of the Council's primary features.
Herunder benyttede hun lejligheden til at fremføre, at Letland mener, at hvert land skal have en kommissær med stemmeret.
Decision-making procedures within the EU should be simple and straightforward, and Mrs Vike-Freiberga advocated an uncomplicated scheme whereby each country is accorded one vote within the European Council and Council of Ministers.
Også princippet om de rullende Rådsformandskaber ønsker Letland bibeholdt.
This would have the added advantage of being easily understood by EU citizens, unlike the present complex system of qualified majority voting.
Vike-Freiberga mener, at en beslutningsprocedure i Rådet med dobbelt flertal, vil gøre EU's arbejde enkelt og effektivt.
Lastly, she was strongly in favour of ensuring that the minimum number of MEPs per country should be five and not four.
EU og det internationale samfund Vike-Freiberga talte for, at EU skal spille en fremtrædende rolle i det internationale samfund i kraft af en fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik.
Turning to international affairs, she said that the EU should take greater responsibility in ensuring worldwide peace and security, while simultaneously maintaining Europe's close partnership with North America.
Hun understregede dog, at dette skal ske i et tæt samarbejde med USA , der er Europas naturlige medspiller i kraft af fælles værdier.
Despite the differences that had arisen between Europe and the United States over Iraq, Mrs Vike-Freiberga stressed the importance of the Transatlantic partnership.
EU skal arbejde tæt sammen med NATO i bekæmpelsen af den internationale terrorisme og i forbindelse med fredsbevarende opgaver rundt omkring i verden.
"We all share the same fundamental values and ideas, which we must protect by acting together", she said.
EU og Rusland Forholdet mellem EU og Rusland var ligeledes et emne, der blev taget op af Vike-Freiberga.
The forthcoming expansion of the EU also underscored the importance of the Union's relations with its current and future eastern neighbours, in particular Ukraine, Belarus and Russia.
Herunder understregede hun, at Rusland bør inddrages mere i de europæiske processer, og at EU skal støtte Ruslands demokratiske udvikling.
She said that the EU must provide as much support as possible for democratic processes in those countries.
Enhed i mangfoldighed Den tredje og sidste del af Vike-Freibergas tale foregik på fransk.
The involvement of Russia was essential both for the Baltic Sea region and for Europe as a whole, and Latvia certainly wished to promote increased cooperation between the EU and Russia "at the practical and pragmatic level".
Herunder talte hun om mangfoldigheden som en central europæisk værdi, som Letland identificerer sig stærkt med.
Delivering the final part of her speech in French, Mrs Vike-Freiberga stressed that Europe's great strength lay in its cultural and linguistic diversity, which should be preserved.
Vike-Freiberga sagde, at den tunge arv fra den sovjetiske besættelsesmagt, hvor Letlands nationale særpræg blev forsøgt udslettet, har lært Letland, at det er centralt at mestre sit nationale sprog.
Latvia's language and culture had nearly been wiped out during half a century of Russian occupation, to the extent that Latvians had "almost become a minority in their own country".
Hun understregede, at den lettiske regering fører en ansvarlig politik overfor de 8 officielle mindretal, der findes i Letland.
Latvia now had a duty to safeguard the Latvian language, one of only two languages that remained from the Baltic family.
Herunder tilbyder man undervisning i de små klasser på lettisk samt på alle de 8 officielle mindretalssprog .
Under the planned reform of the Latvian education system, children could continue to have lessons at primary school in either Latvian or one of the country's eight minority languages, but as from September 2004 secondary schools would be required to teach at least 60% of subjects in the Latvian language.
EP godkendte dermed, at der mobiliseres et beløb på 56,250 mio. euro via EU's Solidaritetsfond i forpligtelsesbevillinger.
MEPs felt that it should become absolutely clear which particular aircraft types, operators or countries of registration or seat were associated with an increased safety risk to air-travellers.
