Den 3. december 2003 holdt EP's retsudvalg et møde, hvor ordføreren for statutten, den tyske socialdemokrat Willi ROTHLEY fremlagde et forslag til beslutning - som opfølgning af EP-beslutningen af 4. juni - om 3 nøglespørgsmål om MEP'ernes statut :
Hans-Gert POETTERING (EPP-ED, D) stated that 13 December had been "a bad day for Europe".
MEP'erne skal være berettiget til alderspension fra de fylder 63 år,
His group, he said, was determined that there should be a Constitution.
medlemslandene skal kunne beskatte MEP'ernes løn under national skattelovgivning - forudsat der ikke er dobbeltbeskatning og
With an EU of 450 million people, it was the only way to guarantee peace and a Europe based on law and order.
den del af statutten, der hører under primærretten, skal adskilles fra den del, der hører under sekundærretten.
However, he welcomed the 82 areas of agreement reached under the Italian Presidency outlined by Prime Minister Berlusconi.
EP's retsudvalg nedstemte imidlertid Rothleys beslutningsforslag med 16 stemmer mod 13 - medens 1 MEP undlod at stemme.
Mr Poettering stated that it was not possible to blame a small number of countries for the failure of the IGC.
Torsdag den 11. december besluttede EP's formandskonference - de politiske gruppeledere - at sætte spørgsmålet på EP-dagsordenen onsdag den 17. december i Strasbourg.
What was needed now was compromise, a skill that Europe had mastered.
MEP'ernes rædselsfulde godtgørelsessystem Under debatten takkede ordføreren Willi Rothley den spanske EU-kommissær Loyola de Palacio for hendes støtte og det italienske EU-formandskab for dets klare og præcise udtalelser.
He opposed any ideas of multi-speed or core Europe stating that this was not the solution to the Union's difficulties.
Rothley kunne herudfra konstatere, at vi hurtigt må kunne nå frem til enighed.
The EU, he added, needed to focus on unresolved problems and not question its achievements pointing to the success of the euro.
Og det er godt, for vi kan ikke belaste valgkampen - forud for EP-valget 10.-13. juni 2004 - med dette tema.
Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (E) for the Socialists stated that he " regretted " the results of the IGC.
Statutten skal gøre os til et "ægte parlament" .
Europe needed to " decide together " and not focus too much on individual Member State concerns.
MEP'ernes rædselsfulde godtgørelsessystem er uholdbart, men vi kan kun løse problemet i fællesskab med Rådet - og godtgørelsessystemet hører sammen med statutten.
He was also disappointed at the attitude of Spain saying that had " left the avant-garde and joined the retrograde attitudes in the Union ".
Herigennem skabes der klarhed og gennemsigtighed , og så kan vi forlange respekt fra vælgerne, som jo betaler vore vederlag .
Mr Barón Crespo also pointed out that 95% of the Constitution had been agreed and that it had now become part of the EU's " acquis ."
Rothley sluttede med at fastslå, at efter forfatningsfiaskoen i Bruxelles - som forhåbentlig ikke er endelig - bør vi - med enighed om statutten - sende et lille signal om, at det trods alt går fremad i Europa.
Graham WATSON (South West), for the Liberals, stated that the Italian Presidency had succeeded in undermining the Stability Pact, wrongly supported Russia's actions in Chechnya and offended Canada.
Rådets holdning Den italienske statssekretær Roberto ANTONIONE fastslog, at man nu - efter 25 år - undersøger muligheden for en aftale om statutten.
He stated that the results of the IGC were a " personal failure and the Prime Minister was poorly prepared".
EP har den udfarende kraft med at fremlægge et forslag til statut, som derefter skal vedtages enstemmigt i Rådet.
However, Mr Watson did say that a late agreement was better than a bad agreement.
Antonione mindede om, at EP's juni-forslag lå langt fra Rådets holdning, som er:
He called for a short IGC given the forthcoming elections in many Member States.
med statutten kan man ikke ændre primærretten,
He also criticised the "actions of large Member States which were leading the Union into crisis."
godtgørelserne til MEP'erne skal svare til de faktisk afholdte udgifter,
Mr Watson was disappointed at the Summit conclusions, as they made no reference to Guantanamo Bay or to the OSCE assessment of the recent Russian elections.
MEP'ernes løn skal svare til en procentdel af en dommers løn ved EU-Domstolen.
Overall, he stated that the Italian Presidency had failed to reach its stated aim of a Constitution.
Vi har haft meget lange diskussioner i Rådet om dette emne, fastslog Antonione.
Mr Berlusconi therefore, he said, had failed.
Og Rådet har modtaget de sidste initiativer fra EP - Rothleys beslutningsforslag! - positivt.
Francis WURTZ (EUL/NGL, F) reminded MEPs that he had been highly critical of the Convention's draft constitution, since he saw it as constitutionalising the liberal model of Europe and setting in stone the most restrictive aspects of Maastricht.
Dialog er den eneste måde vi kan rydde "knasterne" af vejen, sluttede Antonione.
But, he said, his group was not happy at the IGC's failure to agree. '
De Palacio understregede, at Rothley har været vedholdende, og han havde ydet et fremragende arbejde.
He was concerned at other bad effects of the deadlock, notably the return of ideas for a ' Core Europe ' and threats from rich countries to end their support for poorer ones.
Hun sluttede med at fastslå, at Kommissionen ønsker enighed mellem institutionerne om MEP'ernes statut.
This would be the death knell for the European idea, in favour of a simple free trade area.
Karas gjorde det klart, at PPE-DE gruppen er for det foreliggende forslag.
Monica FRASSONI (Greens/EFA, B) said the Italian Presidency had left the EU neither stronger nor more united than it found it.
Ens for alle Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (PSE, E) roste ordfører Willi ROTHLEY (PSE, D) for hans vedholdende arbejde med Medlemsstatutten.
She attacked Finance Minister Giulio Tremonti for his role in ECOFIN's proposals on the budget procedure.
Barón Crespo understregede - i lighed med hovedparten af de øvrige ordførere - at det er centralt, at MEP'er som repræsentanter for EU's borgere får en statut, der er ens for alle.
Despite what Mr Berlusconi's television channels would say, the lack of agreement at the IGC was a major failure, she said.
Han opfordrede EP til at vise enhed ved dagens afstemning om statutten.
At the root of this failure was the simple fact that the old and new Member State governments cannot agree on a good Constitution.
Fremme folkelig respekt Diana WALLIS (ELDR, UK) sagde, at hun intet nyt havde at sige, da alt allerede er blevet sagt i forbindelse med Medlemsstatutten.
Without involving Parliaments and citizens, she said, the Irish Presidency would not succeed either.
Hun opfordrede til handling, og påpegede, at det vil være en stor fordel hvis EP har "fejet for egen dør" inden valget til EP i juni 2004 .
Her group does not believe in a two speed Europe, they wanted to relaunch a draft for a united, effective Europe.
Hermed mente hun, at vedtagelsen af medlemsstatutten, vil fremme MEP'ernes status i borgernes øjne.
Cristiana MUSCARDINI (UEN, I) thanked the Italian Presidency for its work and paid tribute to the Italian servicemen killed in Iraq in the cause of liberty and democracy.
Værdig medlemsstatut Giuseppe DI LELLO FINUOLI (GUE/NGL, I) sagde, at EP har brug for en værdig medlemsstatut, og at hans gruppe er imod alle tiltag, der vil trække sagen ud.
She highlighted the work undertaken for a strong, free, independent Europe, and argued that combating terrorism needed the involvement of citizens.
Hvad angår pensionsalderen, mente Di Lello Finuoli dog, at der burde være finansielle ressourcer til at denne sættes ned til 60 år.
Her group regretted the lack of agreement at the IGC and she called for the stubborn attitudes preventing agreement to be abandoned.
Han sagde, at princippet om ligeløn for alle MEP'er - uanset nationalitet - kan give problemer, idet man kan risikere, at MEP'ere fra tiltrædelseslandene får mere i løn end præsidenten for republikken .
William ABITBOL (EDD, F) listed the problems of the EU over the last year: a split over Iraq, failure at Cancun, the collapse of the Stability Pact, and now the failure of the IGC.
Støtter statutten Daniel Marc COHN-BENDIT (Verts/ALE, f) sagde, at hans gruppe - med stor beskedenhed - kan støtte forslaget til en medlemsstatut - en statut, der ifølge Cohn-Bendit burde have været vedtaget for længst.
He said Europe's citizens would not regret the lack of a Constitution.
Cohn-Bendit understregede, at en vedtagelse af statutten vil sætte et punktum for den "absurde måde, vi har fået vores rejseudgifter refunderet" .
The real reason for the failure was not, he said, the Spanish, Polish or French positions, but simply that a Europe of 25 countries was not ready for this sort of integration.
Med hensyn til pensionsalderen, mente Cohn-Bendit, at man må skelne til det øvrige samfund, og at det derfor ikke vil være rimeligt, at EP går under den foreslåede pensionsalder på 63 år.
We should think again for two centuries, not two months before trying to introduce this Constitution.
Ingen støtte til kompromisforslag Mauro NOBILIA (UEN, I) sagde, at hans gruppe er imod kompromisforslaget til en medlemsstatut.
Marco PANNELLA (IND, I) argued that the EU which had looked hard at itself was the same EU which had failed to prevent the Balkans crisis in the 1990s and which could not agree a meaningful Middle East position.
Medlemsstatut: en prøvesten Rijk van DAM (EDD, NL) mente, at det er skændigt at EP - efter 25 års arbejde - stadig ikke har en fælles medlemsstatut, og han udtrykte derfor sin gruppes støtte til kompromisforslaget.
Jonathan EVANS (Wales), leader of the British Conservatives, questioned whether the results of the IGC could be fairly described as a failure, or as he put it, reflected the current attitudes of many governments.
Van Dam beklagede, at EP endnu engang skal stå overfor vælgerne med et uforsvarligt rejsegodtgørelsessystem , og understregede, at kun de faktiske udgifter skal godtgøres.
Mr Evans wondered when it would be possible to reach a final agreement citing Sweden who, he said, had stated that it would not be possible to return to the issue before 2005.
Van Dam påpegede, at medlemsstatutten er en prøvesten, og at en vedtagelse af statutten vil være en succes.
He criticised the speech and attitude of Mr Watson saying that he was calling for a referendum on the outcome of the IGC despite his group being opposed to this position.
Medlemsstatut: endnu et slag imod EU's troværdighed Den franske løsgænger, Georges BERTHU var absolut imod, at EU's budget skal omfatte lønomkostninger til MEP'er, da de er valgt af de nationale befolkninger og derfor skal lønnes nationalt.
He also reflected Robin Cook's words that the EU should stop its eternal introspection and turn its efforts to matters including: jobs, economic growth, the environment, and human rights - areas which would bring the EU closer to its citizens.
Berthu mente ligeledes, at MEP'er skal betale det samme i skat som alle andre borgere.
Finally, Mr Evans pointed out that citizens would have an opportunity to express their opinion in the European elections in June.
Ifølge Berthu medfører en vedtagelse af statutten, at lønnen sættes op og indkomstskatten sænkes, hvilket er uden for national kontrol og derfor ikke vil medføre borgernes accept.
Andrew DUFF (ELDR, Eastern) stated that what was frustrating about the IGC was that governments, except Poland, were close to an agreement.
Derimod vil dette - ifølge Berthu - medføre endnu et slag imod EU's troværdighed.
The failure of the IGC, he remarked, made the Convention's proposals " even more attractive ".
Den 18. november forelagde EU-Kommissionen sit lovgivnings- og arbejdsprogram for 2004 over for EU-parlamentarikerne.
The optimists state that 95% of the Constitution had been agreed, (but not all articles drafted) and only the voting rights in the Council remained a problem.
Onsdag den 17. december 2003 vedtog EP i Strasbourg en beslutning om Kommissionens 2004-program, hvori man understreger, at det årlige lovgivningsprogram er et uundværligt arbejdsredskab , som benyttes til at koordinere, evaluere og overvåge EU's aktiviteter på en åben og effektiv måde.
Mr Corbett stated that he was by nature " a cautious optimist " and stated that the Union could not renegotiate every single article of the draft Constitution.
Europa-Parlamentet understreger, at 2004 får afgørende betydning for EU , fordi der forestår en række vigtige begivenheder:
Responding to the debate, Silvio Berlusconi recognised the widespread disappointment that the 60 days available to the Italian Presidency of the IGC had not been enough to achieve the practical results hoped for - that might have needed a miracle.
EU vil opleve den største udvidelse nogensinde ,
This should not, however, lead to pessimism about the future.
der skal godkendes en ny forfatningstraktat ,
There was, he said, no point in recriminations and no merit in dividing Europe into first and second class members.
der er valg til Europa-Parlamentet 10.-13. juni 2004,
To do so would pour cold water on the enthusiasm for Europe shown in particular by the accession countries.
de nye medlemsstaters kommissærer ankommer i maj måned og
Mr Berlusconi argued that the work of the Convention should be confirmed and strengthened.
EP noterer sig Kommissionens lovgivnings- og arbejdsprogram og de opstillede politiske prioriteringer, særlig arbejdet omkring de 10 nye medlemslandes tiltrædelse, stabilitet og bæredygtig vækst .
This included the outcome of the Naples meeting and the agreement on defence matters.
Man bemærker, at Kommissionen har begrænset antallet af nøgleinitiativer , der skal forelægges i 2004 til, hvad der betragtes som absolut nødvendigt og praktisk gennemførligt, fordi 2004 er atypisk i institutionel henseende.
On the need for decision making by majority, rather than unanimity, Mr Berlusconi argued that this was essential if Europe was to take decisions quickly enough to allow it to play its proper role on the international stage, promoting trade and prosperity, but also exporting democracy and freedom.
EP bemærker, at de forslag, der vil blive fremlagt, er i overensstemmelse med de politiske prioriteter, men man finder ikke desto mindre, at Kommissionens opfølgning af de anmodninger, som fremsættes af EP's udvalg, fortsat er ringe.
He explained the numerous compromises on the majority voting system the Italian Presidency had put forward, but said that he understood why this was a difficult issue for many member states.
EP beklager, at Kommissionen faktisk kun har vedtaget ca. ½ af de forelagte forslag i lovgivnings- og arbejdsprogrammet for 2003 , og man håber, at programmet for 2004 er baseret på mere realistiske antagelser.
It would be possible, he said, for Europe to have the institutions to play an important role for peace, prosperity and security in the world.
EP opfordrer sine 17 fagudvalg til at foretage en grundig analyse af de forslag, der er indeholdt i 2004-programmet, for at indkredse de forslag, der bør behandles endnu i denne valgperiode .
Responding to the debate for the Commission, President Prodi recalled, in an answer to Mrs Frassoni, that the Commission remained committed to the Kyoto protocol entering into force.
Man slår endvidere til lyd for, at EU-institutionerne her kort før valgperiodens afslutning gennemfører et nært samarbejde om at styre de igangværende lovgivningsprocedurer.
As to the debate on the IGC, he welcomed the fact that the debate had focussed on the future rather than on incriminations about so called failure.
Man opfordrer også Kommissionen til ikke at forelægge andre nye og vidtrækkende forslag kort tid før valget til Europa-Parlamentet i juni 2004, når EP ikke har mulighed for at behandle sådanne forslag på tilfredsstillende måde på grund af valgprocessen.

"Overtagelsesdirektivet": Dyb politisk uenighed i EP!
Call for European strategy to fight multiple sclerosis
Ordfører: Klaus- Heiner LEHNE (PPE-DE, D)
Uma AALTONEN (Greens/EFA, FIN)
EP vedtog en betænkning af den tyske CDU'er Klaus-Heiner LEHNE om det såkaldte "overtagelsesdirektiv" .
Multiple sclerosis is a debilitating and unpredictable illness.
EP vedtog Lehne-betænkningen med 321 stemmer mod 219 - medens 9 undlod at stemme.
It can cause the partial or total loss of bodily functions.
Socialistgruppen stemte imod, da man mente, at reglerne om information af arbejdstagerne i "overtagelsesdirektivet" er utilstrækkelige.
In practice, this is not always the case, as was pointed out to MEPs in a petition (840/201) by a multiple sclerosis sufferer, Louise McVay.
"Overtagelsesdirektivet" drejer sig om at fastsætte regler for situationer, hvor nogle selskaber overtager/opkøber andre selskaber .
Disparities can exist in access to medicine, medical refunds or any psychological, financial or other aid a sufferer may need.
EP vedtog en lang række ændringsforslag til Kommissionens forslag.
Patients are far too often simply left to cope with their physical and mental distress.
Centralbanker undtaget!
This is the main topic of Uma Aaltonen's report.
I ændringsforslag 1 fastlår EP, at da medlemsstaternes centralbanker tjener offentlige interesser, forekommer det utænkeligt, at de kan gøres til genstand for overtagelsestilbud .
MEPs argue that the main goal of the health authorities in the EU should be to guarantee equal access to therapies and treatments as well as the provision of optimum services, through co-ordinated programmes drawn up in conjunction with the World Health Organisation .
Da nogle af disse centralbankers kapitalandele af historiske grunde er noteret på en medlemsstats regulerede marked, er det nødvendigt udtrykkeligt at undtage dem fra dette direktivs anvendelsesområde.
The report also calls for debate on this subject to be placed on the agenda of a forthcoming meeting of EU Health Ministers and it is calling for an epidemiological study funded by the EU to be carried out as a matter of urgency Europe-wide.
Multiple stemmerettigheder I ændringsforslag 3 understreger Europa-Parlamentet, at medlemsstaterne bør træffe de nødvendige tiltag til at sikre enhver tilbudsgiver mulighed for at erhverve en majoritetsinteresse i andre selskaber og udøve sin kontrol fuldt ud.
In addition, Parliament wants specialist clinics to be encouraged which would meet the specific needs of sufferers, in particular younger ones, as well as the necessary professional training for medical and hospital staff.
Med henblik herpå bør begrænsninger i overdragelse af aktier, begrænsninger i stemmeretten, ekstraordinære udnævnelsesrettigheder og multiple stemmerettigheder fjernes i tilbudsperioden, eller når generalforsamlingen træffer afgørelse om defensive foranstaltninger eller om ændringer af vedtægterne eller afsættelse af bestyrelses- og direktionsmedlemmer på den første generalforsamling, som følger efter udløbet af tilbudsperioden.
MEPs also stress the need to foster advanced research in this field through international, particularly transatlantic, co-operation, in the field of genetics and other areas.
Hvis fratagelse af rettigheder har ført til tab for indehavere af kapitalandele, bør der ydes passende kompensation i henhold til de tekniske bestemmelser, der fastsættes af medlemsstaterne.
Lastly, the House wants multiple sclerosis sufferers to be integrated into the world of work as far as possible by means of practical provisions that take account of their condition, so that they can become as independent as possible.
Særlige rettigheder, som medlemsstaterne har i selskaber, der er omfattet af nationale privatretlige eller offentligretlige bestemmelser, bør være undtaget fra gennembrudsreglen , hvis de er forenelige med traktaten (ændringsforslag 4).
Uma AALTONEN (Greens/EFA, FIN) opened the debate on her report by noting that this was the last day Parliament would be sitting during the European Year of People with Disabilities, so it was appropriate that the House should be debating the issue of Multiple Sclerosis.
Resterende kapitalandele I ændringsforslag 7 fastslår EP, at medlemsstaterne bør træffe de nødvendige tiltag for at give mulighed for, at en tilbudsgiver, der som følge af et overtagelsestilbud har erhvervet en bestemt procentdel af den kapital i et selskab, der giver stemmeret, kan kræve, at indehaverne af de resterende kapitalandele sælger deres kapitalandele til ham.
She explained that the report arose from a letter sent by a young English woman, Louise McVay, who was not receiving the medication that could make a real difference to her quality of life.
200 mio. euro til genopbygning af Irak: Fleksibilitetsinstrumentet"
There are 400 000 MS sufferers in Europe and two thirds of them are women.
Ordfører: Joan COLOM I NAVAL (PSE, E)
This represents, she said, a violation of the basic right to medical care.
Forslag til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets afgørelse om anvendelse af fleksibilitetsinstrumentet til rehabilitering og genopbygning af Irak i henhold til punkt 24 i den interinstitutionelle aftale af 6. maj 1999
The rapporteur hoped that this debate would help focus minds of health ministers on the need to improve help for MS sufferers.
Efter EU-topmødet i Thessaloniki 19.-20 juni 2003 foreslog EU-Kommissionen, at EU's andel af det europæiske bidrag til genopbygning og rehabilitering af Irak bør andrage 200 mio. euro i 2003-2004, hvoraf 40 mio. euro frigøres i 2003 og 160 mio. euro i 2004.
Mrs Aaltonen said she was putting forward amendments regarding the precautionary principle in regulating certain toxic chemicals, which may be linked to the development of MS. She would also be proposing oral amendments to include some of the related diseases.
På samrådsmødet den 24. november 2003 accepterede Europa-Parlamentet og EU's Ministerråd forslaget - hvoraf 95 mio. euro skal finansieres via "fleksibilitetsinstrumentet".
She concluded by noting that Parliament now has an opportunity to demonstrate that it listens to all its citizens, not just the Presidents in Office of the Council.
Colom I Naval-betænkningen blev vedtaget med 385 stemmer mod 66 - medens 27 undlod at stemme.
This would help citizens to believe that Parliament could make a difference to their lives.
I en betænkning af den spanske socialist Joan COLOM I NAVAL godkender EP "samrådsaftalen" fra 24. november.
She recognised that some employers did not provide enough support to allow MS sufferers to continue in the world of work.
Man understreger, at det for fjerde år i træk er besluttet at anvende "fleksibilitetsinstrumentet", idet tacklingen af internationale kriser siden 2000 ikke har kunnet finansieres inden for de oprindelige lofter for EU's samarbejde med tredjelande - udenrigspolitik.
The Commissioner also pointed out that Member States are competent for the provision of healthcare and this was not, therefore, an area where the Commission could act.
Man erkender dog, at da de finansielle overslag blev vedtaget den 9. maj 1999, var det helt umuligt at forudse, at EU kunne komme til at deltage i genopbygningen af Irak.
However, the Commission could and is, she said, enabling best-practice to be shared and for scientific information to be exchanged.
EU-budget 2004: "Livremsbudget": 99,7 mia. euro
The Commissioner made reference to an EU working group that had recently made 19 recommendations on this subject.
Ordførere Jan MULDER (ELDR, NL), Neena GILL (PSE, UK)
The Commission, she stated, would be bringing forward a proposal on sharing best-practice in the area of healthcare provision in March 2004.
Forslag til Den Europæiske Unions almindelige budget for regnskabsåret 2004, modificeret af Rådet
The Commission was also carrying out public information campaigns on anti-discrimination and would be holding a public hearing in Spring 2004 which may lead to further proposal for anti-discrimination legislation outside the workplace.
Sektion VII, Regionsudvalget
The report, he said, correctly focuses on the achievements of disabled people.
