Watson delte ikke den amerikanske præsidents holdning og fastslog, at stadig overvågning er bedre end krig.
Francis WURTZ (F) for the GUE/NGL group stated that there was only one legal and moral way out of the Iraqi crisis, and that was through the United Nations process.
Vi befinder os i et kritisk øjeblik i FN's historie, og det kan få alvorlige konsekvenser, hvis FN lades i stikken.
EU Member States, in the past, had suffered from fundamentalism and dictatorship, fought it, and won.
Den franske GUE'er Francis WURTZ gik ind for en fredelig afvæbning af Irak via FN's våbeninspektørers arbejde og pegede på, at der i dag er ved at udvikle sig en meget stærk fredsbevægelse - også i USA.
The same could be done for Iraq and other non-democratic countries in the region.
Nøglen til demokrati Den franske grønne Daniel COHN-BENDIT kunne ikke forstå, at nogen stadig ville gå i krig, idet vi jo allerede har vundet via de amerikanske troppers pres på Saddam Hussein .
After recalling the achievements of the USA in defending freedom and democracy on the international stage, Charles PASQUA (UEN, F) then pointed out the vital importance of working for an international solution through the United Nations.
Der er ikke brug for krig, når Irak nu afvæbnes via FN's våbeninspektører.
Any alternative route based, as he put it, on " might is right " would, he felt, be a step backwards.
EU burde hjælpe flygtninge fra Irak , og vi burde støtte de demokratiske bevægelser i Irak.
France and Russia, he said, would be judged harshly for exercising a veto against military intervention and he supported a change of regime in Iraq as a means of introducing democracy and peace to the region.
Mogens CAMRE fra Dansk Folkeparti mente, at alle vore smukke ord om afvæbning er tomme i en situation, hvor Saddam Hussein ikke drømmer om at lade sig afvæbne.
Furthermore, the record of Britain and France in the Middle East was hardly one to be proud of and he added there was a growing demand for true democracy and respect for individual liberties in the Arab world as a whole.
Ekstraordinær generalforsamling?
War, he said, was not inevitable.
EU's militære mission i Makedonien:Historisk skridt - EU's første militære operation!
EU's first military mission in FYROM - Parliament to be fully informed
EU's militære mission i Den Tidligere Jugoslaviske Republik Makedonien
Motion for a resolution on the Military mission of the Union in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia
Onsdag den 12. marts 2003 om eftermiddagen havde Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg en debat om EU's militære mission i Makedonien - der er den første militære operation under EU-flag , og der er derfor tale om et historisk skridt .
In adopting a resolution on the ESDP operation in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Parliament welcomes the Council's decision to take over the NATO operation 'Allied Harmony' in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia as the EU's first-ever military mission.
Samme dag kl. 13 var Serbiens premierminister Zoran Djindjic blevet myrdet i den serbiske hovedstad Beograd.
However, MEPs are critical that they had not been informed in advance about the mandate, the capabilities needed and the financial implications.
Djindjic var reformpolitiker og blev leder for Serbiens første ikke-kommunistiske regering i 2001.
Moreover, MEPs state that Parliament should be informed on all aspects of this and future missions.
EP vedtog en beslutning om EU's militære operation i Makedonien , som er EU's første militære operation nogensinde.
Lastly, Parliament considers that a fact-finding delegation should be sent to FYROM two months after the start of the operation in order to establish a progress report to evaluate the efficiency of the operation in relation to the above question.
EP's udenrigsudvalg havde med Elmar BROK - udvalgets formand - som pennefører udarbejdet er beslutningsforslag om EU's militære mission i Makedonien – som EP vedtog.
He then explained the role of the first EU military peacekeeping mission in FYROM (Macedonia) where, he said, the aim was to ensure long-term security in the country.
EP understreger, at der er tale om EU's første militære operation, og at det sker efter anmodning fra Makedoniens regering.
This, he said, would be a test case of the EU's new military dimension in fulfilling the commitment to crisis management.
Operationen skal gennemføres med anvendelse af NATO's aktiver og under ledelse af den militære næstkommanderende i Europa - DSACEUR - og at EU's hovedkvarter for operationen skal være det øverste hovedkvarter for de allierede styrker i Europa (SHAPE).
He underlined that it was based on close co-operation with NATO and that it should not be interpreted as an end to the presence of both US and NATO troops in the region.
EP skal underrettes I beslutningen beklager man, at EU-traktaten kun har indeholdt begrænsede bestemmelser for parlamentariske høringer om den europæiske sikkerheds- og forsvarspolitik, og man understreger, at Europa-Parlamentet - på baggrund af fremtidige traktatændringer - bør være ansvarligt for godkendelse af mandatet til og målsætningerne for enhver EU-kriseforvaltningsaktion finansieret af EU.
Nevertheless, although there was still some technical details to settle with NATO, a French commander would be in charge of an EU force of some 487 and the mission would be expected to last six months.
EP bør derfor regelmæssigt underrettes om afholdelse af fælles udgifter i forbindelse med sådanne fælles EU-aktioner.
He saw it as evidence of the " maturity " of the European Security and Defence Policy.
"Allied Harmony" EP støtter Rådets afgørelse om at overtage NATO-operationen "Allied Harmony" i Makedonien - som EU's første militære opgave nogensinde!
Commissioner Chris PATTEN also expressed his sympathy to all democrats in Serbia following the assassination of Zoran Djindjic, the Serbian Prime Minister.
Operationen skal ses som en vigtig prøve på, hvordan EU's sikkerhedspolitik fungerer i praksis og på samarbejdet mellem EU og NATO.
He called the EU's first military mission an " historic step " in the building of a strategic defence and security policy, and said furthermore that the mission formed a part of a wide range of areas where the EU would be taking over from NATO.
Man beklager dog, at Europa-Parlamentet ikke på forhånd er informeret om mandatet og de finansielle virkninger.
FYROM, he remarked, was a country in the process of building relations with the EU.
Underudviklet demokrati Den græske udenrigsminister Georgios PAPANDREOU beklagede det tragiske mord på Serbiens premierminister Zoran Djindjic, som havde været en ven af Europa.
Moreover, Commissioner Patten pointed out that it was just two years ago that the country was on the verge of civil war.
Målsætningen med EU's militære mission i Makedonien er at skabe stabilitet og fred på Balkan, et område hvor demokratiet er underudviklet, og mordet i dag viser, at vi har lang vej tilbage.
The EU, he pointed out, had increased its financial support to the country through the CARDS programme (CARDS stands for Community Assistance for Reconstruction, Development and Stabilisation) to support the country in the framework of the stabilisation and association Process.
Papandreou understregede, at der er tale om EU's første militære operation nogensinde, og at det drejer sig om EU's troværdighed.
The situation in FYROM was still very sensitive, he commented, as the recent incidents where two Polish soldiers were killed illustrated.
Den europæiske udenrigspolitik har nået et "modent punkt" i sin udvikling, og han håbede, at man kunne skabe fred og stabilitet i det sydvestlige Europa.
EU aid, he said, was aimed at strengthening border management and support for a multi-ethnic police force.
Makedonien-missionen er EU's første militære mission - der er således tale om et historisk skridt, idet vi starter et nyt kapitel.
Speaking on behalf of the EPP/ED, the chair of Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee, Elmar BROK (D) welcomed the initiative and indeed the intention of the EU to launch a similar operation in Bosnia in 2004.
Patten pegede på, at sikkerheden er meget skrøbelig i Makedonien - 2 polske officerer mistede således livet i sidste uge.
He was, however, anxious to ensure that MEPs were informed before a decision on any mission was taken.
Patten understregede, at målet er at bidrage til sikkerheden i Makedonien, som var på randen af borgerkrig for 2 år siden.
He then underlined the difference between an EU and NATO operation in a sense that the EU's activities would be closely linked to economic and financial commitments to the redevelopment of the region.
Det vil være en frygtelig fejl at tro, at problemerne på Balkan er overvundet.
Finally, he called for a parliamentary fact finding delegation to be sent to the area to monitor developments.
Under ordførerrunden sagde den tyske kristelige demokrat Elmar BROK , at vi må påtage os ansvaret på Balkan og fremme demokratiet.
She emphasised that it would be responsible for such activities as training local personnel and the collection of weapons.
Den hollandske socialist Jan WIERSMA mente, at den serbiske befolkning må være i chok efter dagens mord på premierministeren og håbede, at det ikke ville destabilisere Serbien og ex-Jugoslavein.
Against a background of corruption and criminality in the country, she underlined the need for full support for the EU's activities here.
Også Wiersma pegede på, at der er tale om EU's første mission under eget flag - og det er logisk, at det foregår i Makedonien.
Jan Joost LAGENDIJK (Greens/EFA, NL) saw the mission in FYROM as a success and a model to be repeated in other areas of the world.
Milepæl Den britiske liberale Sarah LUDFORD understregede, at EU's første militære mission er en milepæl i EU-samarbejdet.
The EU had used both financial and diplomatic ends to achieve peace in the country before sending troops to maintain that peace.
Hun fastslog, at den voldelige kriminalitet underminerer staten i Makedonien, og hvem vil investere i et land, hvor der er lovløshed, og hvor man skyder hele tiden, spurgte Sarah Ludford.
However, Mr Langedijk called for greater Parliamentary scrutiny of EU military missions, with debate in both national and European Parliaments.
Den hollandske grønne Joost LAGENDIJK understregede, at det er nødvendigt med parlamentarisk kontrol med de fremtidige militære missioner, og han pegede på, at Serbien har brug for megen hjælp fra EU.
Bruno GOLLNISCH (IND, F), on the other hand, questioned the historic significance of this mission as he considered it to be relatively small in nature with less than 500 troops involved.
2004: Politisk strategi og budget:Overdreven optimisme?
The precise objectives of the mission were not clear, and the EU, he contented, had no exit strategy.
Under Europa-Parlamentets debat om EU-Kommissionens politiske strategi for 2004 var der flere talere, der pegede på, at Kommissionens politikstrategi er overdrevent optimistisk , og at den slet ikke tager højde for den økonomiske krise med høj arbejdsløshed.
Geoffrey VAN ORDEN (EPP-ED, Eastern) argued against the creation of a separate European Strategic Defence Policy and criticised France and the UK for pushing this agenda.
3 prioriteter Kommissionen vedtog sin meddelelse om "Årlig politikstrategi for 2004" den 5. marts.

Kommissionen har 3 hovedprioriteter:
Cambodia – eve of general elections
gennemførelsen af udvidelsen med de nye medlemslande,
Joint motion for a resolution on the situation in Cambodia on the eve of the general elections of 27 July 2003
EU's sikkerhed Formanden for EU-Kommissionen, italieneren Romano PRODI holdt en meget politisk tale, hvori han understregede, at Europas borgere ønsker, at EU skal garantere sin egen sikkerhed, og at vi ikke kan forvente, at USA garanterer vor sikkerhed.
Parliament adopted a joint resolution with 82 votes in favour, 0 against and 0 abstentions condemning the acts of violence and intimidation taking place during the pre-election period (general elections will be held on 27 July 2003).
Prodi fastslog, at Irak-krisen, EU's kommende udvidelse og Konventet om EU's fremtid står i centrum for vore tanker.
MEPs ask for all parties to be able to check the veracity of the electoral lists well before the start of the voting.
Det drejer sig om at styrke EU's rolle i verden, og om det EU vi skal give videre til de kommende generationer.
Parliament underlines that, in order for the elections to be considered free, fair and democratic, the lives of opposition leaders must be safeguarded failing which the co-operation agreement with the EU will be cancelled.
Romano Prodi henviste til Kroatiens ansøgning om EU-medlemskab , og at Balkan nu banker på EU's dør.
The House calls on the Cambodian Government to reverse its decision to bar Christian groups from presenting religious propaganda.
Den europæiske genforening er ikke færdig før også Balkan er med i EU, og han glædede sig i denne forbindelse over Maltas "ja" til EU-medlemskab søndag den 9. marts.
Lastly, Parliament also condemns the unilateral decision by the Phnom Penh government to seal all landborder crossing with Thailand and expresses concern that the border closure will affect the livelihoods of tens of thousands of poor Cambodian citizens.
Irak-krisen Prodi pegede på, at Europa er dybt berørt af Irak-krisen , der har vist store meningsforskelle mellem EU-landene indbyrdes og i forhold til USA, men der må ikke stilles spørgsmålstegn ved forholdet til USA, fastslog Prodi.

Transatlantiske forhold Under ordførerrunden sagde den britiske konservative James ELLES , at den udenrigspolitiske dimension er meget vigtig i EU, og han stillede spørgsmålet om, hvor det transatlantiske forhold vil være om 5 år.
MEPs support Prime Minister Thaksin of Thailand in his efforts at mediation between the SPDC and the ethnic nationalities and urge the Thai Government to facilitate the negotiations within Thailand.
Den østrigske socialdemokrat Johannes SWOBODA pegede på, at Prodi havde holdt en meget politisk tale, men erindrede samtidig om, at EU ikke er nogen supermagt.
The House also urges the SPDC to immediately and unconditionally release Sai Nyunt Lwin, the Secretary-General of the Shan Nationalities' League for Democracy and for the military government to release all remaining political prisoners.
Swoboda mente, at EU havde forsømt sit egentlige formål, nemlig at skabe fred i verden.
MEPs stress the need to implement strictly laws banning the use of forced labour and allowing the ILO unrestricted access to areas of the country where the use of forced labour is being reported.
Nedladende tone Den britiske liberale Nicholas CLEGG var glad for, at gennemførelsen af udvidelsen var Kommissionens hovedprioritet i 2004, og han mindede i denne forbindelse om, at ansøgerlandene havde mødt en noget nedladende tone fra nogle af de nuværende medlemslande.
The House strongly urges the SPDC to stop the systematic use of rape against ethnic women as a weapon of repression and calls on the Commission to bring these cases before the UN and demand that an independent international inquiry be set up.
Freden i verden er truet, EU-landene er splittet, og arbejdsløsheden er stor, sluttede Caudron.

Nigeria: case of Amina Lawal
Fleksibel og effektiv administration Anne E. JENSEN fra Venstre understregede, at udvidelsen skaber behov for nye tiltag, så vi får en mere fleksibel og effektiv administration, og problemerne skal løses inden udvidelsen.
The House expresses its categorical opposition to the death penalty and urges the Nigerian Government to take all steps to ensure that all executions are halted and the use of the death penalty is ended.
Der er således nok at tage fat på for at få ryddet op i administrationen.
Furthermore, MEPs call on the Upper Sharia Court of Appeal of Katsina to uphold its commitment to all the international agreements that Nigeria has signed up to in its human rights field and asks therefore that all elements of Sharia law that contradict international law be repealed.
EU- forbrugerpolitik:Integration i alle EU-politikker!

- Kommissionens meddelelse til Europa-Parlamentet, Rådet, Det Økonomiske og Sociale Udvalg og Regionsudvalget om en strategi for forbrugerpolitikken 2002-2006
Report on the Council common position for adopting a European Parliament and Council directive on the activities and supervision of institutions for occupational retirement provision
Torsdag den 13. marts 2003 vedtog EP 3 betænkninger om EU-forbrugerpolitik.
A move to reject the common position by the GUE/NGL group was lost with 156 voting in favour, 383 against and 7 abstentions.
Danmark - kan opretholde strengere regler for forbrugerbeskyttelse, så længe forbrugerbeskyttelse ikke er gennemført på et højt harmoniseret niveau i EU.
The compromise amendments seek to strike a balance between different practices across the EU whereby in continental countries social benefits covering disability or provision for survivors ( biometric risks ) are offered whereas in countries such as the UK the benefit is seen as a financial product.
Europa-Parlamentet beklager, at Kommissionen ikke fokuserer ret meget på integrering af forbrugerbeskyttelse i alle andre EU-politikker.
For example, one amendment permits the Member States to allow a fund the right to offer provisions for survivors and disability cover, if this is requested by employers and employees.
Man opfordrer derfor Kommissionen til - på højeste politiske niveau - at gøre integration af forbrugerinteresser i alle EU's politikker til en af sine vigtigste prioriteter.
Another amendment preserves the right to receive a payment in the form of a " lump sum " without any restrictions while a further amendment establishes the right to receive information relating to the transfer of pension rights to another fund in the event of a change of employment.
Torsk og 40.000 job:150 mio. euro fra EU?
Press enquiries: Roy Worsley (Brussels) tel.(32-2) 28 42941 e-mail : econ-press@europarl.eu.int
Beslutningen blev vedtaget med 508 stemmer mod 7 - medens 27 undlod at stemme.
Small businesses should be helped by improving access to capital and reducing the burden of red tape.
Under debatten sagde Niels BUSK fra Venstre, at han støttede beslutningen, idet de dramatiske beslutninger har haft skadelige virkninger i de samfund, der lever af fisken og den industri, der er omkring fisken.
MEPs also want to see the development of the single market, especially with regard to liberalising services, energy, transport, broadcasting and financial services.
Euro-folkeafstemning i Sverige:Strukturreformer nødvendige!

Kommissionens konvergensberetning 2002 – Sverige
Report on the Commission communication on Public finances in EMU - 2002
Den 14. september 2003 afholder Sverige folkeafstemning om indførelse af euroen.
MEPs adopted a resolution which expresses Parliament’s commitment to the Stability and Growth Pact and indeed calls for the basic principles governing the Pact to be enshrined in the new EU Treaty.
EP vedtog en betænkning af den svenske liberale Olle SCHMIDT , hvori man fastslår, at den seneste tids politiske uro omkring stabilitets- og vækstpagten har haft en negativ indvirkning på offentlighedens opfattelse af euroen - navnlig i de lande, der stadig er uden for euro-området.
MEPs are, however, very well aware of the current downturn in Europe’s economy and the pressure on public finances.
Betænkningen blev vedtaget med 359 stemmer mod 79 - medens 50 MEP'er undlod at stemme.
Parliament does, therefore, want the Commission to push for the process of structural reform in the Member States to take the downturn into account.
I Schmidt-betænkningen understreger EP, at offentlighedens støtte til euroen er af afgørende betydning, idet de lande, som endnu ikke har indført euroen, kun vil gøre dette, når deres borgere via folkeafstemninger er blevet hørt.
At the same time, the resolution, while welcoming a new debate on the Stability and Growth Pact and financial and economic policies in general, reminds the Member States of their obligations to respect the Pact.
EP fastslår, at Sverige - ud over at opfylde konvergens-kriterierne - aktivt må gennemføre strukturreformer og øge sin konkurrenceevne for at forberede medlemskabet af euro-området.
Indeed, Parliament opposes any attempts to take other factors such as public investment in services into account when calculating the deficit.

Budgetretningslinjer 2004: Øvrige sektioner
Report on the proposal for a Council decision on an amendment to Article 10.2 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank
I den ene betænkning af den hollandske liberale Jan MULDER fastslår EP, at det politiske mål er at "forene Europa" , og især at inddrage de 10 nye medlemslande i EU's politikker.
MEPs, in a non-binding vote, rejected as too complex a proposal coming from the ECB to replace the current voting system on the Board with a " rotation " system allocating each National Central Bank governor to one of three groups, reflecting the size of the economy in the country concerned.
Europa-Parlamentet understreger, at gennemførelsen af det indre marked, realiseringen af "Lissabon-strategien" og strategien for bæredygtig udvikling fortsat er EU's 3 hovedmålsætninger.
Instead Parliament backed the proposal of the rapporteur Ingo FRIEDRICH (EPP-ED, D) for the retention of existing voting rights for all Central Bank governors and the continuation of decisions by the Governing Board to be taken by a simple majority.
I den anden betænkning af det britiske labourmedlem Neena GILL fastslår EP, at loftet for de administrative udgifter på EU-budgettet for 2004 er på 5,426 mia. euro.
The Commission and any interested Member State are requested to submit new proposals to the Convention reflecting this approach.

Multinational relocations attacked
Reform af budgetproceduren: Muligheder i forbindelse med revisionen af traktaterne
Doc.: Motions for resolutions - Closure of undertakings after receiving EU financial aid
EU's ordning med egne indtægter skal gøres mere gennemskuelig, letforståelig og demokratisk, og sondringen mellem obligatoriske og ikke-obligatoriske udgifter skal afskaffes, ifølge EP.
The Commission is also requested to draw up a Code of Conduct designed to prevent companies, which have already benefited from aid in one country from shifting locations in the EU or to the candidate countries, with the sole purpose of obtaining new subsidies.
Baggrunden er, at EP i september 2002 vedtog en beslutning om kvinders repræsentation i organisationsstrukturen og de interne beslutningsorganer hos arbejdsmarkedets parter.
The resolution singles out numerous companies: C&J Clark, Gerry Weber, Bagir, Sasimac, Schuh-Union, Scottwool, Ecco’let, Bawo, Rohde, Philips, Yasaki Saltano, Efacec, Eres, Alcoa, Delphy, Alcatel and Eftec and asks the Commission to check to see that they have respected EU legislation relating to collective redundancies.
EP konstaterede dengang, at der findes meget lidt information på dette område.
The companies concerned, therefore, are requested to seek solutions to the jobs question through discussions with workers' representatives and local authorities.
