man vil vurdere, om Tyrkiet nu lever op til de "politiske Københavns-kriterier"
We all believe in the future of Europe, he said, so the group would offer its support to Mr Barroso.

med Tyrkiet med henblik på tyrkisk EU-medlemskab.
The ALDE group wanted to know what sort of pilot he would be and what were his plans.
Mistillid Under sin tale i Europa-Parlamentet pegede Jan Peter Balkenende på, at de europæiske borgere har mistillid til den europæiske integration.
They had been impressed by his candour and his competence, and recognised that he had treated Parliament with respect.
Det så man bl.a. ved valgdeltagelsen ved Europa-valget i juni 2004.
Mr Barroso had described himself as a " reformist of the centre ."
EU er ikke perfekt, og EU kan helt klart forbedres.
He said the Commission's independence and strength were the key.
Ikke bange for kritik!
Nobody had made any comment on why the Council had taken so long to agree on his candidacy.
Jan Peter Balkenende understregede, at der er behov for fornyelse i EU, og at forfatningstraktaten gør EU mere demokratisk og styrker Europa-Parlamentets beføjelser.
Decisions, he said, had been taken behind closed doors and for once the Parliament should stand up to the Council and reject Mr Barroso.
Selv kritikere af den europæiske integration erkender, at forfatningstraktaten er en forbedring.
Francis WURTZ (FR) for the GUE/NGL group stated that he also opposed the candidacy of Mr Barroso but this time due to his policies.
Balkenende fastslog, at EU jo ikke er perfekt, men vi skal ikke være bange for kritik, for uden kritik er der ingen forbedringer.
In particular, he criticised Mr Barroso's record in Portugal and his choices to reduce public spending.
Tyrkiet og islam I forbindelse med Tyrkiet-debatten sagde Balkenende, at vi ikke bør frygte islam, og at det ikke er islam, der er problemet, men misbrugen af religion til at skabe had.
He warned that there was not enough critical thinking amongst Europe's leaders to face many of Europe's challenges, including jobs, access to clean water, and combating disease in the world.
Balkende sluttede med at fastslå, at vi i Europa bør forene vore kræfter og tale med en stemme, når det drejer sig om
He called for these to be fully provided and for the " so called whistle-blowers " in the Commission to receive a pardon.

bekæmpelsen af fattigdom i verden.
The Mediterranean policy also needed to be implemented.
Status Formanden for EU-Kommissionen Romano PRODI gjorde status over de sidste 5 år i EU og Kommissionens resultater i denne periode.
She said the UEN group wished Mr Barroso every success.
Prodi mente, at Kommissionen havde gjort et godt stykke arbejde, og at vi nu efter udvidelsen har fred og solidaritet i Europa.
The non-attached member Jean-Claude MARTINEZ (FR) said that many of Mr Barroso's decisions had already been taken for him, whether on the enlargement of Turkey or the Financial Perspective.
Kun EU kan give varig stabilitet og fred i vor verdensdel, og vi vil skabe en ring af venlige lande fra Marokko til Rusland.
He would have to live with these as well as the defects of the Stability and Growth Pact.
Milepæle i EU's historie!
Could he stand up to the all the lobbies and the US in the WTO negotiations?
Udvidelsen med 10 nye medlemslande og vedtagelsen af forfatningstraktaten udgør milepæle i EU's historie .
He hoped nevertheless that Mr Barroso would have favourable winds if elected.
Med hensyn til stabilitets- og vækstpagten har Kommissionen sørget for lighed mellem store og små lande , og Kommissionen har anvendt reglerne upartisk.
Jonathan EVANS (Wales), speaking for the British Conservatives and their colleagues in the European Democrats wing of the EPP-ED, told Mr Barroso he had a number of qualities which made him suitable for the job of Commission President, notably in his record of economic reform in Portugal.
Romano Prodi fastslog, at det er for tidligt at sige noget om indholdet i Kommissionens kommende Tyrkiet-rapport .
He called for bold reforms in the Commission to restore public confidence, including the appointment of a Commissioner for Budgetary Control, greater protection for whistleblowers and the full independence of OLAF.
Der bliver tale om en omfattende objektiv rapport, da det er vor pligt at være upartiske.
He also called for a revitalisation of the Lisbon strategy and for all proposals to come with impact assessments and price tags.
Under ordførerrunden sagde formanden for PPE-grupppen, den tyske CDU'er Hans-Gert PÖTTERING , at Holland altid havde været engageret i det europæiske samarbejde, og at man nu står over for vigtige opgaver:
He concluded by endorsing Mr Barroso's candidacy and calling for Europe to do less, but do it better.
Man skal fuldende EU indadtil, og afrunde det indre marked , samt sørge for at vore unge videnskabsmænd bliver i Europa,
Gary TITLEY (PES, UK) said that after the elections, " we must now prove ourselves worthy of the people's support ."
Beslutningen om at indlede optagelsesforhandlinger med Tyrkiet er et omstridt spørgsmål, og man må overveje andre løsninger som fx. et "privilegeret partnerskab" med Tyrkiet.
This meant an end to debates on process, institutional intricacies and flowery discussions of the meaning of Europe.
Islam intet problem!
It meant Europe focussing on what it does rather than how it does it.
Den nye formand for den socialistiske gruppe, den tyske socialdemokrat Martin SCHULZ fastslog, at "Lissabon-processen" bør være en social proces med social stabilitet.
He wanted a President of the Commission who would be a man of action, not just of fine words and speeches.
Han understregede, at vi bør være rimelige over for Tyrkiet , og at vi må holde, det vi har lovet.
Above all, he said, the focus should be on jobs, implementing the recommendations from Wim Kok, creating incentives for jobs and making work pay.
Islam er ikke et problem - islam og vesten udelukker ikke hinanden.
It meant training and retraining workers, not paying to keep them out of work.
Schulz var glad for, at det hollandske EU-formandskab lagde vægt på bekæmpelse af terrorisme, og at man lagde op til en ny narkotikapolitik.
He also called for the new Commission to continue Neil Kinnock's work in reforming the Commission to make it a modern, accountable administration with probity at all levels.
EU-Domstolens dom Formanden for den nye ALDE-gruppe, skotten Graham WATSON var også glad for, at Holland vil arbejde for at dæmme op for den internationale terrorisme.
Mr BARROSO , responding at the end of the debate on Wednesday, first of all addressed the Iraq dossier by saying that in Portugal, political parties had transcended past divisions by backing the latest UN resolution on the rebuilding of Iraq.
Om forfatningstraktaten sagde han, at de liberale vil føre an i kampen for at få vedtaget forfatningstraktaten.
As to EU-US relations, Mr Barroso stressed that a strong EU did not contradict strong EU-US ties.
Watson var godt tilfreds med EU-Domstolens dom i sidste uge, som fastslog, at både store og små lande skal overholde stabilitets- og vækstpagten.
He also stated that he wanted to strengthen the European Security and Defence Policies of the Union and recalled that when he was Portugusese Foreign Minister he had approved Portugal's involvement in Eurocorps.
Graham Watson understregede, at den liberale gruppe går ind for, at mindst 1/3 af Kommissionsmedlemmerne bør være kvinder, og forholdet må gerne være 13-12.
On the Commission-Council-European Parliament institutional triangle, Mr Barroso stated that his priority had always been a strong supranational Commission.
Bedømmelse af Holland Den italienske grønne Monica FRASSONI fastslog, at det hollandske EU-formandskab vil blive bedømt på 2 spørgsmål, nemlig hvordan man håndterer forhandlingerne om
He stated that he strongly backed " the Community method " and that a purely intergovernmental approach would lead to the break-up or possible " balkanisation " of the Union.
de finansielle perspektiver 2007-2013 og
To Mr Cohn-Bendit, he said there were better ways to " punish " the Council than attacking his candidacy.
indledning af optagelsesforhandlinger med Tyrkiet .
The debate continued on Thursday morning, with further interventions from MEPs.
Hun fastslog i denne forbindelse, at islam ikke er afgørende i forbindelse med Tyrkiet-beslutningen.
He said his constituents did not doubt the legitimacy of the European Parliament, but they did not wish to be governed by it.
Formanden for GUE-gruppen, den franske kommunist Francis WURTZ pegede på, at borgernes mistillid havde ført til den lave valgdeltagelse til Europa-valget i juni.
His constituents, he continued, also rejected the draft Constitution as a document based on obsolete theories and outdated fears of war and communism from the 1950s.
Ros til det irske formandskab: Effektivitet, lidenskab og diplomati
Finally, recalling that Margaret Thatcher had demanded the UK's money back in 1984, he said: "We want our country back -- and we are going to get it."
Under dagens debat om resultaterne af det irske formandskab var der udelte roser til formandskabet for dets effektivt, engagement og diplomati.
Vice President Dagmar ROTH-BEHRENDT (PES, DE), in the chair, indicated that since Irish was not a working language of the EU or of Parliament, this could not be interpreted for MEPs and Mr Barroso to be able to understand it.
Den irske premierminister Bertie AHERN redegjorde for resultaterne og fremhævede herunder, at det irske formandskab har formået at opfylde sine to oprindelige målsætninger, nemlig at gøre Europa synligt for borgerne og sikre lighed for små og store medlemsstater.
Baroness Sarah LUDFORD (ELDR, UK) told Mr Barroso she had initially been prejudiced against him by what she called the squalid intergovernmental bargaining that had led to his nomination, and by the fact that he had supported the Iraq war, which she believed was misguided and illegal.
Ahern sagde, at forfatningstraktaten gør det muligt for EU at møde udfordringerne i et udvidet EU, og at fokus nu skal rettes mod at gennemføre politikker til fordel for borgerne.
She called for the Commission to continue to make up for cuts in US funding to NGOs and family planning bodies based on the Bush administration's opposition to abortion.
Skabe en europæisk offentlighed Prodi understregede, at den vigtigste opgave nu består i, at starte en grundlæggende debat om EU, at klargøre for borgerne hvad EU er og ikke er og frem for alt at undgå, at borgerne forkaster forfatningstraktaten ved de forestående folkeafstemninger.
In his final response to the debate, Mr Barroso stated that he was in favour of a strong Europe capable of tackling major issues in the world including climate change, free and fair trade, the support for multilateral institutions and the fight against disease.
Ligeledes fremhævede Prodi, at debatten ikke skal være præget af nationale spørgsmål, men at det netop skal være en europæisk debat - at der skal skabes en europæisk offentlighed.
In order to achieve all this, he said, the EU would need sufficient financing.
Prodi opfordrede EP til at starte debatten med borgerne og herunder synliggøre, at forfatningstraktaten sikrer et socialt Europa, der bl.a. har som sine målsætninger at skabe fuld beskæftigelse og sikre minoriteters rettigheder.
On the Common Foreign and Security Policy, Mr Barroso stated that he was in favour of further developing a European defence identity and had already started working with Javier SOLANA .
Under ordførerrunden blev det irske formandskabs positive resultater fremhævet.
On Iraq, Mr Barroso underlined that no common EU position could be found.
Samtidig understregede Hänsch, at EU hverken er en forbundsstat eller en kopi af nationalstaten, men at EU er noget andet og mere - et borgernes og staternes EU.
As regards EU-US relations, he stressed that the EU should not be primarily defined in opposition to any region.
Andrew Nicholas DUFF (ALDE, UK) fremhævede, at vedtagelsen af forfatningstraktaten medfører, at EU kan stå på egne ben i verden, sikrer den demokratiske legitimitet og viser, at den gensidige tillid er blevet styrket.
He said he aimed to engage the US constructively, especially in the areas of environment and development policy.
Frassoni betegnede Barroso som "en staternes - og ikke borgernes - mand".
Mr Barroso also said that relations with the EU's near neighbours in the Balkans, the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe would be a priority for the Commission.
Sylvia-Yvonne KAUFMANN (GUE/NGL, DE) fremhævede, at den lave valgdeltagelse til EP-valget i sidste måned viser, at borgerne mister tillid til EU.
On institutional matters, he said he sympathised with those who had criticised the way he was appointed, but he had gone beyond what was laid out in the Treaties by deciding to meet with each political group in the European Parliament.
Kaufmann understregede, at forfatningstraktaten giver anledning til en intensiv debat om EU's fremtid og opfordrede herunder til, at der afholdes folkeafstemninger i samtlige medlemsstater.
As to the ratification processes, he said that these arguments would have to be made primarily at Member State level but the Commission would provide credible and appropriate information.
Bonde opfordrede til organiseret modstand mod forfatningstraktaten og til, at der afholdes folkeafstemninger i alle medlemsstater.
As to gender equality in the Commission composition, he repeated that he would do all he could to ensure that he had the highest number of women Commissioners representing at least one-third of the Commission.
Brian CROWLEY (UEN, IE) roste det irske formandskab og særligt europaminister Dick ROCHE for hans åbenhed og samarbejdsvilje i forhold til EP.
On the Stability and Growth Pact, he said that it was not necessary to renegotiate it, but a " more flexible interpretation " may not be unhelpful.
Ligeledes gav Crowley sin uforbeholdne støtte til Barroso.
On media pluralism, he said that the Commission had examined this in their Green Paper back in the mid 1990s and it would be now necessary to examine whether there was a legal basis to propose legislation.
Marek Alexander CZARNECKI (NI, PL) kritiserede, at der - påtrods af udvidelsen - stadig ikke er fuld ligestilling mellem staterne i Europa.
On GMOs, he stated that the Commission's European Authorisation System was one of the best in the world and worked well.
Czarnecki roste dog Bertie Ahern for aldrig at have glemt, at "EU er nationernes Europa".
In conclusion, Mr Barroso stated that he was a man of strong convictions but used pragmatism in the implementation of his policies.
Ole Krarup
Bruno GOLLNISCH (FR), a non-attached Member, wondered whether Mr Barroso was the right candidate at the right time.

The minute of silence
Enhver form for terror er i modstrid med de værdier EU og EP står for, fastslog Borrell.
He also made an appeal to the kidnappers of the two Italian aid workers and the two French journalists abducted and held in Iraq to set them free.
MEP'ernes statut Den nye spanske EP-formand håbede, at EP snart ville blive udvidet også med Rumænien og Bulgarien, men at den fortsatte udvidelse af Europa-Parlamentet med flere medlemmer ikke må føre til et fald i effektiviteten.
Finally, he expressed his deep regret at the news of the death of the Orthodox Christian Patriarch Petros VII of Alexandria, who was killed along with 16 others when a helicopter crashed into the sea off the northern Greek coast on Saturday 11 September.
Spanien holder sin folkeafstemning om forfatningstraktaten i slutningen af februar 2005.
in schools across Europe were also taking part in this minute's silence.
I denne forbindelse understregede Borrell, at EU's forhold til den muslimske verden er en af de udfordringer EU står over for.
He described this as an act of barbarism, and asked the President to express Parliament's outrage to the Iranian EU Ambassador about this and other executions of children.
Finansielle perspektiver 2007-2013 Debatten om de finansielle perspektiver 2007-2013 er et andet stort emne på EU-dagsordenen i den kommende tid, og den lægger rammen for vor politik i de kommende år.
Diana WALLIS (ALDE/ADLE, UK) said that farmers in her constituency had suffered the worst weather and worst harvests for 40 years.
Borrell lagde i denne forbindelse vægt på stabilitets- og vækstpagten og "Lissabon-strategien" fra marts 2000.
She called on the Commission to make appropriate support available in good time on a regional basis.
Borrell fastslog dog, at EU ikke får gennemført "Lissabon-målene" om at gøre EU til den mest vidensbaserede og konkurrencedygtige økonomi i verden inden 2010.
Yorkshire farmers were not prone to whinging, she said.
Han beklagede, at USA dræner vore "bedste hjerner".
Rather, this was a modest and reasonable request.
En "europæisk drøm" er allerede blevet virkelighed.
Many of her London constituents had relatives in the region who had suffered.
Nu har vi en "ny europæisk drøm" om et mere forskelligartet Europa, og vore befolkninger skal vækkes og forstå dette.
She also drew attention to what she saw as the likely link between such disasters and the problem of climate change.
Under den efterfølgende politiske ordførerrunde sagde formanden for PPE-gruppen, den tyske CDU'er Hans-Gert PÖTTERING , at hele EP kunne støtte de store linier i Borrells programtale.
Proinsias DE ROSSA (PES, IE) spoke of the achievements of the PEACE II package of EU support for the Northern Ireland peace process, and called for the Commission to come forward with proposals for a new round of support in time for the scheme to continue without a break.
Han beklagede, at Rådet ikke var til stede og mente, at Rådets generalsekretariat fremover bør sikre, at Rådet er til stede.
Roger HELMER (EPP-ED, UK) strongly criticised the UK government's plans to ban fox hunting with dogs.
Pöttering fastslog, at PPE-gruppen går ind for Europas enhed i mangfoldighed , og at vi ser med respekt på hinanden.
He said this would criminalise some of the most decent, law abiding and responsible people in Britain.
Han understregede, at terrorisme aldrig kan retfærdiggøres.
He also said the use of the Parliament Act to achieve this was an abuse of the process.
Terrorismen skal bekæmpes, men vi må huske, at en muslim har samme ret til at leve som en kristen.
Jim ALLISTER (NA, UK) spoke to condemn the suggestion from Romano PRODI that EU Member States' athletes might carry the EU flag at the next Olympics.
Om MEP'ernes statut sagde Pöttering, at EP har gjort sit arbejde, og at bolden nu ligger på Rådets banehalvdel.
This was, he said, a step too far and should be resisted by all Member States.

The world would have to grasp the underlying causes and find solutions to hostilities around the world including in Chechnya, Iraq and Palestine.
Midtvejsevaluering af "Lissabon" Den franske GUE'er Francis WURTZ lagde ligesom Borrell stor vægt på den kommende midtvejsevaluering af "Lissabon-strategien" - (Red.: Wim Kok-arbejdsgruppens rapport offentliggøres i slutningen af oktober!) - men han pegede også på en række temaer, som Borrell ikke havde nævnt i sin programtale.
Turning to globalisation, President Borrell said that he understood the fear that jobs would be transferred outside of the EU as labour costs were cheaper in some parts of the world.
Om kort tid vil EP vedtage forfatningstraktaten , som betyder, at EU bestemmer på 15 nye områder, og at der bliver flertalsafgørelser på 40 nye områder.
As to the internal workings of the Parliament, he recalled the Code of Conduct on multi-lingualism which had been adopted earlier this year and recognised regretfully that, due to lack of resources, not all of the official languages of the Union could yet be fully used.
EP får ret til at stille flere ændringsforslag.
As to those MEPs who had chosen to speak in a non-official language, President Borrell recalled that it would take a unanimous decision of the Council to change the official working language regime of the EU.
Men de nationale parlamenter mister mere magt, en EP får , og magten overføres til arbejdsgrupper i Rådet og i Kommissionen.
Turning to the ratification of the Constitutional Treaty, he said that the European Parliament's role would be to engage in the process where appropriate.
Dermed indskrænkes demokratiet.
He recalled that Spain's ratification is due to take place in February next year.
