Michel Barnier i EP:Fra EU-kommissær til fransk udenrigsminister
One of the sectors in which the conflict of interest is most obvious is advertising ".
Tirsdag den 20. april 2004 fik den nyudnævnte franske udenrigsminister Michel BARNIER lov til at tale i Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg - og det skete fra Rådsformandskabets stol.
It noted " therefore, that the Italian system presents an anomaly owing to a unique combination of economic, political and media power in the hands of one man - the current President of the Italian Council of Ministers ".
EP-formand Pat COX begrundede det med, at EP aldrig havde fået mulighed for at sige rigtigt farvel til Barnier, som meget hurtigt skiftede fra at være EU-kommissær - med ansvar for institutionelle spørgsmål og regionalpolitikken - til at blive Frankrigs nye udenrigsminister.
MEPs invited the Italian Parliament to " accelerate its work on the reform of the audiovisual sector in accordance with the recommendations of the Italian constitutional court and the President of the Republic, taking account of the provisions in the Gasparri bill which are incompatible with Community law, as noted by those authorities ".
Voltaire Michel Barnier takkede for at have fået lov - af det irske EU-formandskab - til at tale fra Rådsformandskabets stol, og han henviste til den franske filosof Voltaire , som havde sagt: - "Korte breve sikrer lange venskaber!" .
MEPs voiced concern that the situation in Italy could arise in other Member States if a media magnate chose to enter politics.
Han ville derfor holde en kort tale .
MEPs made a number of recommendations.
Barnier nævnte det tætte samarbejde med en række MEP'er i Konventet om EU's fremtid, hvor han havde siddet i Konventets præsidium.
They called on the Commission to draw up a directive to safeguard media pluralism in Europe.
Især takkede han Giorgio Napolitano - formand for EP's forfatningsudvalg - for hans store indsats og hans visioner.
MEPs believe protection of media diversity should become the priority of EU competition law and the dominant position of a media company should be considered as an obstacle to media pluralism in the EU.
Barnier fastslog, at han som fransk udenrigsminister ville bibeholde sine ideer og sin metode, og venskabet med Europa-Parlamentet ville ikke ændre sig.
Legislation should be adopted at EU level to prohibit political figures from having major economic interests in the media.
"Robert Schuman-traditionen" Giorgio Napolitano sagde, at man havde haft et godt samarbejde med Michel Barnier, og at man kunne tale om en alliance mellem EP og Kommissionen .
In addition, an annual report on pluralism should be drawn up.
Cox sagde, at kidnapperne øjeblikkeligt skal sætte samtlige gidsler på fri fod.

Ytrings- og informationsfrihed i EU: Blokere betænkning med 350 ændringsforslag?
Report on the Commission communication on Article 7 of the Treaty on European Union: Respect for and promotion of the values on which the Union is based
På vegne af PPE-gruppen sagde italieneren Guido PODESTÀ , at betænkningen ikke var blevet udarbejdet i overensstemmelse med EP's forretningsorden, idet bl.a. Andragsudvalget ikke var blevet hørt.
Parliament adopted by 383 votes in favour, 30 against with 52 abstentions an own-initiative report on Article 7 of the EU Treaty, which covers the respect and promotion of the democratic values on which the EU is based.
Podestà mente derfor, at betænkningen bør sendes tilbage til Udvalget om Borgernes Rettigheder og Friheder.
This forms Parliament's response to a Commission communication on the subject.
Cox udtrykte bekymring for, hvordan EP skal kunne gennemføre afstemningen om betænkningen inklusive de 350 ændringsforslag, og herunder anklagede den belgiske grønne Monica FRASSONI - i lighed med ordfører Boogerd-Quaak - PPE-gruppen for at have fremsat ændringsforslag blot for at blokere for betænkningens eventuelle vedtagelse.
MEPs believe that, by saying that it will not be necessary to apply the sanctions provided for in Article 7, the Commission gives the impression that the EU has neither the will nor the means to defend its values.
Udvalget mødes i aften for at finde en løsning på de mange ændringsforslag.
They also consider that the absence of a Parliamentary right of initiative for the procedure to deal with serious breaches does not prevent Parliament from using its power of oversight to exert political pressure on the Council to act.
Udveksling af persondataoplysninger til USA: Skal Domstolen høres?
MEPs say that the application of Article 7 should be based on the following principles:
Det andet store punkt ved EP's mødeåbning var en anden betænkning af Johanna L.A. BOOGERD-QUAAK (ELDR, NL), der omhandler et forslag til en aftale om overførsel af personoplysninger til USA.
confidence in the democratic constitutional order of all the Member States and in the authority of the Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights;
Retsudvalget anmodede derfor i sidste uge Pat Cox om, at kontakte EU-Domstolen med henblik på en udtalelse.
openness: all the procedures should be transparent, comprehensible and accessible to the public.
Kommissionen forsvarer aftale Kommissær for det indre marked, hollænderen Frits BOLKESTEIN forsvarede Kommissionens forslag til en aftale om overførsel af personoplysninger til USA, og sagde bl.a., at aftalen ikke ændrer ved EU's eksisterende databeskyttelsesdirektiv og at Kommissionen stadig forhandler med USA hvad angår USA's udlevering af personoplysninger til tredjelande.
MEPs believe it would be useful, after the renewal of both Parliament and the Commission in the coming months, to launch an inter-institutional discussion on the criteria and principles to be used in taking action under Article 7.
Elena Onella PACIOTTI (PSE, I) talte for en udtalelse fra Domstolen, idet hun henviste til at USA for øjeblikket ingen lovgivning har på persondataområdet, og at det derfor er nødvendigt at sikre en international aftale, så europæiske borgere ikke bliver klemt i det amerikanske system.
Parliament condemned the confirmation after a retrial by the Ankara State Security Court of the prison sentence for Sakharov-prize winner Leyla Zana, Hatip Dicle, Orhan Dogan and Selim Sadak.
Ligeledes var alle ordførere bekymrede for hvilke personoplysninger - inklusive oplysninger om europæiske borgere - USA uden videre vil kunne udlevere til tredjelande.
MEPs saw this new sentence as a clear contradiction to the judicial reforms started by the Turkish government and as symbolic of the gap between the Turkish judicial system and that of the EU.
Såvel Graham WATSON (ELDR, UK), Giuseppe DI LELLO FINUOLI (GUE/NGL, I) og Monica FRASSONI (Verts/ALE, B) var enige i, at Kommissionen bør trække sit forslag tilbage.
Parliament condemned the breaches of the rights of defence during the re-trial and hoped that the Turkish final Court of Appeal will quash the sentence.
Ordfører Boogerd-Quaak var heller ikke tilfreds med redegørelsen fra kommissær Bolkestein, og hun understregede at det nuværende forslag til en aftale med USA krænker EU's bestemmelser om persondatabeskyttelse, og at det er EU's pligt at forsvare de europæiske borgere.
Parliament called for the immediate abolition of the State Security Courts and for an amnesty for all those imprisoned for their political views.
Afslutningsvis opsummerede formand Cox debatten og anbefalede, at EP stemmer om en eventuel Domstolshøring onsdag kl. 12.

Retlige og indre anliggender
Human rights in the world
Ordfører: Johanna L.A. BOOGERD-QUAAK (ELDR,NL)
Véronique DE KEYSER (PES, B)
Europa-Parlamentet besluttede at sende EU-USA-aftalen om europæiske luftfartsselskabers overførsel af personoplysninger til USA til EU-Domstolen i Luxembourg .
By 189 votes for to 111 against with 29 abstentions, Parliament adopted its annual report on human rights in the world in 2003.
EU-Domstolen skal afgive udtalelse om aftalens forenelighed med EU-traktaten.
The report condemns in particular the denial of human rights often faced by disabled people.
Beslutningen om at sende aftalen til EU-Domstolen blev vedtaget med 276 stemmer mod 260 - medens 13 MEP'er undlod at stemme.
It also makes recommendations for a strengthening of EU human rights policy.
På den baggrund besluttede EP at sende Boogerd-Quaak-betænkningen tilbage til udvalget om borgernes frihedsrettigheder.
Furthermore, it stresses the right for everyone to have access to public health provision, including the fight against AIDS, opposition to sexual violence and reproductive health care as a fundamental right.
299 MEP'er stemte for at sende betænkningen tilbage til udvalget, 218 stemte imod - medens 6 undlod at stemme.
MEPs begin by condemning terrorism which is, they say, " one of the most serious common challenges facing the international community."
I betænkningen af Johanna Boogerd-Quaak forkastede udvalget om borgernes frihedsrettigheder EU-USA-aftalen om overførsel af flypassageroplysninger, og man opfordrede Rådet til ikke at vedtage aftalen, som var et resultat af forhandlinger mellem EU-Kommissionen og USA.
They also stress that the fight against terrorism has to take place within the framework of international law and ask the American authorities "to immediately put an end to the current legal limbo in which the detainees held in Guantánamo Bay have ... been placed."
EP forkastede en anmodning om uopsættelighed fra Rådet.
Regarding EU policy as a whole, MEPs regret that Parliaments demands for "a serious and non-selective application of so-called 'human rights' clauses appear not to have visible effects on the human rights policies of the Council, the EU Member States and the Commission."
Det drejer sig om et italiensk forslag om samlet tilbagesendelse med fly af tredjelandsborgere, der opholder sig ulovligt på to eller flere medlemsstaters område.
Parliament also regrets that the Euro-Mediterranean Association Agreements lack clearly defined procedures for the implementation of the human rights clause and insists on the need for a mid-term review of Article 2 of all Association Agreements.
Kernen i forslaget er, at medlemsstaterne skal organisere fælles charterfly til hjemsendelse af illegale indvandrere.
Parliament repeats its call for periodic review of sanctions policies in order to assess and enhance their effectiveness.
Da denne transportform er bekostelig for medlemsstaterne, kunne man med fordel "dele" disse chartrede "hjemsendelsesfly".
Regarding the spread of HIV/AIDS, which is a major threat to world security and causes the deaths of three million people each year despite the possibility of treatment, Parliament stresses that the fight against AIDS must include "effective public health programmes involving education, prevention, treatment, care and support."
EP fastholder, at EU bør indføre en fælles indvandrings- og asylpolitik før man indfører en fælles hjemsendelsespolitik.
The European Year of People with Disabilities, 2003, drew attention to the barriers which are still too often raised against the inclusion of disabled people, thus preventing them from fully enjoying a social, professional, family, emotional and sexual life.
EP frygter, at EU (ved at godtage det italienske forslag) vil bevæge sig tættere på "Fort Europa".
MEPs note with regret that in some states there are numerous obstacles, unacceptable restrictions or limits to access to training or education for disabled children, adolescents or students.
Betænkningen af Adeline HAZAN (PSE, F) blev - under sidste samling - efter ordførerens anbefaling sendt tilbage til Udvalget om Borgernes Rettigheder og Friheder.
MEPs believe that accessibility and use of public space and the built environment is "a fundamental right and an essential guarantee of disabled people’s freedom of movement, equal opportunities, and freedom from discrimination."
Ydre grænser:Regulering af "mindre grænsetrafik"
They stress that people with disabilities "exercising their right to mobility must not suffer any form of direct or indirect discrimination" and regret that access to public transport is still difficult for disabled people.
Ordførere: Carmen CERDEIRA MORTERERO (PSE, E), The Earl of STOCKTON (PPE-DE, UK)
They ask the Commission to reinforce its funding of education programmes relating to reproductive health, with a focus, amongst others, on the fight against sexual violence and female genital cutting or mutilation.
- Forslag til Rådets forordning om indførelse af en ordning for mindre grænsetrafik ved medlemsstaternes ydre landgrænser
Finally, Parliament regrets that people arrested in Egypt on grounds of their sexual orientation are all too often denied certain aspects of their fundamental human rights, including the right to a fair trial.
EU-Kommissionen har fremlagt 2 forslag til Rådsforordninger om indførelse af en ordning for "mindre grænsetrafik" ved medlemslandenes ydre landegrænser og "midlertidige" ydre landegrænser mellem medlemslandene.
Over a year ago of 75 dissidents belonging to the democratic opposition to the Castro regime, mostly linked to the Varela Project, were arrested by the Cuban authorities and subsequently sentenced to harsh prison terms of between 14 and 27 years.
Formålet er at undgå, at den nye ydre grænse efter udvidelsen skal besværliggøre handelsmæssigt, socialt og kulturelt samkvem - eller lignende regionalt samarbejde.
It calls once more on the Cuban authorities to release all political prisoners immediately, and calls on the Council and Commission to continue to take all necessary initiatives to demand their release.
Man ønsker således at gøre passagen af de ydre grænser lettere for statsborgere i tredjelande med bopæl i grænseområderne, som har gode og gyldige grunde til regelmæssigt at passere grænsen - og s om ikke udgør nogen sikkerhedstrussel .
While welcoming the release on health grounds of Julio Antonio Valdés, MEPs call on the Cuban authorities to make significant changes with a view to moving towards full respect for fundamental freedoms and, in particular, freedom of expression and political association.
I 2 betænkninger af Carmen MORTERERO og The Earl of STOCKTON godkender EP Kommissionens forslag.
MEPs further call on the Member States to exert unequivocal pressure on the Cuban authorities to promote the defence of democracy and respect for human rights.

Labour standards and the production of sporting goods
Forslag til Rådets beslutning om oprettelse af et sikkert, webbaseret informations- og koordineringsnet for medlemsstaternes indvandringsmyndigheder
Joint motion for a resolution on respect for core labour standards in the production of sports goods for the Olympci Games
EU-Kommissionen har fremsat et forslag til oprettelsen af et sikkert, web-baseret informations- og koordineringsnet for medlemsstaternes indvandringsmyndigheder.
In adopting a joint resolution on <Titre> the respect for core labour standards in the production of sports goods for the Olympic Games, Parliament </Titre> calls on sportswear companies to adopt sourcing policies that call for suppliers and their subcontractors to respect internationally recognised labour standards.
Formålet er, at sikre en mere effektiv metode til bekæmpelse af illegal indvandring i EU.
MEPs call on sportswear companies to take immediate steps to ensure specifically that the right of workers to form and join trade unions is respected throughout their respective supply chains.
Kommissionen skal være ansvarlig for udviklingen og forvaltningen af netværket, og Kommissionens CIRCA-system (Communication and Information Resource Centre Administrator) skal fungere som teknisk platform.
They also call on suppliers and manufacturers of sportswear and athletic footwear to adopt labour practices that provide working conditions which comply with international labour standards and national labour legislation;
Baggrunden for forslaget er, at medlemsstaterne gennem længere tid har kritiseret det eksisterende system for tidlig varsling, samt udtrykt ønske om en styrket og forenklet koordinering af indsatsen mod illegal indvandring.
Parliament wants the Commission to work with the ILO to ensure that the IOC includes respect for internationally accepted labour rights in its Fundamental Principles, the Olympic Charter, and its Code of Ethics, and to insist that the IOC require, as a contractual condition in its licensing, sponsorship and marketing agreements, that labour practices and working conditions involved in the production of IOC-branded products comply with internationally recognised labour standards, including all the human rights standards identified by the ILO as constituting fundamental rights.
EP bifalder Kommissionens forslag EP vedtog en betænkning af Eva KLAMT (PPE-DE, D), hvori man bifalder Kommissionens forslag, der betragtes som et afgørende skridt hen imod en forbedret koordinering og kommunikation mellem medlemsstaternes indvandringsmyndigheder.
The House urges the World Federation of the Sporting Goods Industry to commit itself to stating publicly that the sportswear and athletic footwear industries need to come forward with concrete and identifiable measures for a sectoral solution aiming at full compliance with ILO labour standards.
EP vedtog en række ændringsforslag, hvori man opfordrer Kommissionen til at udarbejde et forslag til hvordan Europol kan inddrages i arbejdet, særligt hvad angår menneskesmugling.
Finally, MEPs stress the importance of increased consumer awareness and the development of social and fair-trade labelling in creating incentives for multinational enterprises to improve working conditions.

Det Forenede Kongeriges initiativ med henblik på vedtagelse af Rådets afgørelse om ændring af Rådets afgørelse 2000/820/RIA om oprettelse af Det Europæiske Politiakademi (Cepol)
Motion for a resolution on the state of the Transatlantic Partnership on the eve of the EU-US Summit in Dublin on 25-26 June 2004
EP vedtog en betænkning af Martine ROURE (PSE, F) om de to seneste initiativer - fremsat af Irland og Storbritannien - vedrørende Det Europæiske Politiakademi (CEPOL).
MEPs begin by stressing the importance of a comprehensive dialogue, including political, economic, defence and security cooperation between the two partners.
I 2000 besluttede Rådet - efter portugisisk initiativ - at oprette Det Europæiske Politiakademi (Cepol).
MEPs emphasise the need to pursue reforms in the wider Middle East region "jointly with progressive forces in those countries" and not imposing them from outside.
Irland har foreslået, at Cepol skal have status som juridisk person for at sikre en ramme, der kan "bidrage til stabilitet og kontinuitet og have den nødvendige bemyndigelse til at gennemføre det fremtidige arbejde".
They recommend, however, that there should be an accelerated date of 2010 for financial services and capital markets, aviation, the digital economy, competition policy and regulatory cooperation.
I det irske initiativ foreslås det bl.a., at Cepol skal omdannes til et selvstændigt uddannelsescenter med eget fast sekretariat og egen bestyrelse.
However, they remain concerned by the US government's policy that countries must cooperate with US foreign policy objectives in order to become trading partners.
EP er enige i de irske overvejelser, og opfordrer derfor Kommissionen til at udarbejde et forslag, der også behandler en eventuel EU-finansiering af uddannelsescentret.
MEPs call for both partners to regard the revitalisation of the WTO Doha negotiation as a matter of urgency, while seeking "rapid, meaningful results in joint action to fight poverty and promote economic development at multilateral level."
EP vedtog nogle få ændringsforslag, der skal sikre den logiske sammenhæng i såvel det irske som det britiske forslag.
Furthermore, they urge the US and EU to seek to ensure the revival of negotiated arms control at multilateral level.

Kommissionen har fremlagt forslag til anden fase af EU’s flygtningefond, som skal gælde for 6-års perioden 2005-2010 .
MEPs recognise the difficult decision taken by Pakistan to join the international community in its fight against terrorism.
De samlede udgifter til programmet ventes at blive 687,48 mio. Euro .
The resolution draws attention to the general electoral process in 2002, which it describes as "flawed" .
Danmark er ikke med i programmet!
It regrets that the 'madrassas' (religious schools) are not under state control.
I en betænkning af den belgiske PPE’er Gerard DEPREZ godkender EP Kommissionens forslag – dog med enkelte ændringsforslag.
They also point to the serious concerns of the international community about Pakistan's role in the proliferation of nuclear weapons.

Motions for a resolution on the Preparation of the First Review Conference in Nairobi of the 1997 Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on Their Destruction (Ottawa 'Mine Ban Treaty')
Under afstemningen tirsdag den 20. april 2004 forkastede EP et forslag fra Kommissionen om indførelse af visuminformationssystemet (VIS).
In a resolution adopted on 22 April 2004, the European Parliament urges all states that have not already done so to sign and ratify the Mine Ban Treaty (the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines).
Derefter sendte man forslaget tilbage til yderligere udvalgsbehandling.
Finally, MEPs urge the Council and Member States to speak with one voice at the conference.
Under afstemningen forkastede EP et spansk forslag om et EU-direktiv om transportvirksomheders forpligtelse til at fremsende oplysninger om befordrede personer/passagerer .
The resolution is highly critical of the "shared management" of EU funds, where the Commission decides on funding but delegates the actual payment and control to the Member States.
225 MEP'er stemte for, medens 287 stemte imod.
Moreover, the implementation of risk assessment as part of internal control was seen as unsatisfactory.
Forslaget blev sendt tilbage til yderligere udvalgsbehandling.
And MEPs called for separate Commissioners to be responsible for budgets and budgetary control.

It therefore called upon its Bureau (which takes decisions on internal financial, administrative and organisational matters) urgently to adopt new rules for the payment of expenses and allowances such as drafted provisionally in May 2003, including the reimbursement of travel expenses on the basis of costs actually incurred.
