Europa-Parlamentet fordømmer terrorangrebet på den russiske administrations hovedkvarter i Tjetjeniens hovedstad Grozny, hvor mindst 55 personer blev dræbt og mindst 120 kvæstet.
Global demographic trends show a gradual ageing of the population: according to European Union estimates the proportion of the European population over the age of 65 will rise from 16.1% in 2000 to 22% in 2025 and 27.5% in 2050.
EP er dybt skuffet over, at det ikke er lykkedes at forlænge mandatet til OSCE’s bistandsgruppe til Tjetjenien, som udløb den 31. december 2002 .
At the same time people over the age of 80, who made up 3.6% of the population in 2000 are likely to make up 6% in 2025 and 10% in 2050.
EP mener, at OSCE’s mission i området har udført et virkeligt nyttigt arbejde under forhold, som ofte var meget vanskelige, men som blev accepteret af alle parter, og at den har været med til at begrænse ustabilitet, usikkerhed og lovløshed.
In this light, Parliament adopted a non-binding resolution on the future of health care and care for the elderly.
Retsforfølgning EP opfordrer begge parter til at finde tilbage til forhandlingsbordet, da kun en politisk løsning kan skabe langvarig fred i regionen .
MEPs also stress the need to present an accurate image of the elderly as not merely a liability for the health service but also as a resource and potential asset to society.
Man opfordrer endvidere Rusland til en ”proaktiv politik” med retsforfølgning af alle borgere – herunder militært personale – som har begået alvorlige kriminelle handlinger i Tjetjenien.

Krisen i Irak: Krig eller fred?
Iraq – support for UN resolutions
MEP'erne var enige om, at man skal gøre alt for at undgå en krig i Irak - som bør være den absolut sidste udvej .
Motions for resolutions on the situation in Iraq
Ved indledningen af Solanas tale rejste en lang række MEP'er sig i parlamentssalen med skilte med påskriften "No war" .
He recalled that Dr BLIX and Dr EL BARADEI had submitted an update of the results of the inspections so far to the UN Security Council.
Europas borgere Solana fastslog, at Europas borgere ikke ønsker krig , ligesom man heller ikke vil acceptere diktatorer.
Turning to the Middle East following elections in Israel, Mr Solana began by congratulating the Israeli people on the fact that, despite the trauma of the last two years, their democracy remained vigorous and healthy.
Hvis våbeninspektørernes opgave blive en "mission impossible ", så vil det ydmyge FN og føre til en svækkelse af FN.
The Council, he said, had agreed in principle to such a mission.
Den irske EP-formand Pat COX fastslog, at han ville forhøre sig nærmere om episoden, men han kunne godt give Freddy Blak adressen på en rigtig god skrædder.
More assistance and resources, he said, should be given to the weapons inspectors and finally he recalled that the weapons inspectors would report again to the UN Security Council on 14 th February and, following this, the European Parliament would again have the opportunity to offer its views on avoiding war if at all possible.
Truslen om spredning af atomvåben er alvorlig, og vi befinder os i en situation, hvor vi er tæt på krig i Irak på grund af masseødelæggelsesvåben i slyngelstater.
Parliament in particular condemns the execution by China of Lobsang Dhondup from Tibet and urges the suspension of the death penalty against Lama Tenzin Delek.
Udover at udvise manglende respekt for den internationale sikkerhed, så har Nordkoreas beslutning vist en komplet mangel på hensyntagen til den allerede forarmede befolknings velfærd.
MEPs also advocated a resolution inviting all states to introduce a moratorium on executions with a view to abolishing the death penalty completely.
Alle menneskerettigheder bliver krænket i Nordkorea - også den mest grundlæggende, nemlig retten til liv.
They requested the United States, China, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Congo-Brazzaville, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Iran in particular once again to end all executions immediately.
Ole Andreasen mente, at den bedste vej frem er at regionale partnere og internationale organisationer indgår i et samarbejde.
In this respect, MEPs congratulated governor George Ryan of Illinois for having commuted the sentences of all 167 inmates on death row in his state.
Kina, Japan og Sydkorea bør aktivt søge en løsning sammen med FN, EU og USA.
The European Parliament asks the EU presidency to sponsor a resolution calling on the US immediately to clarify the situation of prisoners in Guantanamo, including those who have lately been transferred to other parts of the US, and to release prisoners against whom there are no retainable charges.
Den nylige genoptagelse af forhandlingerne mellem Nord- og Sydkorea viser, at dialog er mulig .
Parliament, furthermore, condemned the use of stoning, all forms of degrading and cruel punishment and all legalised forms of torture, notably as practised in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and some states of Nigeria.
FN’s Menneskerettighedskommission:Velforberedt EU-strategi
It also warned that the fight against terrorism should in no way endanger the protection of fundamental human rights and must be based on international humanitarian law.
Dok.: B5-0064/2003 RC1
MEPs decided to set up an ad hoc delegation to attend the UNCHR session and requested the Council and the European Commission to report back to Parliament on the outcome of the session by May 2003.
Den 17. marts til den 25. april holder FN's Menneskerettighedskommission sin 59. samling i Genève.
The issue of access to and control of key mineral resources such as diamonds, copper, cobalt, coltan and gold is one of the main causes of the civil war in the DRC.
EP vedtog en beslutning, hvori man understreger behovet for en koordineret, sammenhængende og velforberedt strategi fra EU's side forud for, under og efter den 59. samling for at sikre en effektiv og frugtbar deltagelse i arbejdet i FN's Menneskerettighedskommission.
Parliament condemns the illegal exploitation of the DRC's natural resources by its neighbours and by private international companies, and calls for concrete steps to end this state of affairs.
Nord-syd opsplitning EP beklager, at der på den 58. samling i Menneskerettighedskommissionen udviklede sig en stadig tydeligere opsplitning mellem Nord og Syd , og man opfordrer EU-deltagerne til inden næste samling at udforme en egentlig generel strategi til at sikre, at EU's rolle og holdning på menneskerettighedsområdet kan blive effektiv.
The House wants the International Criminal Court, under powers now vested in it, to investigate acts of genocide and crimes against humanity committed in Africa and elsewhere, where such acts were perpetrated to illegally secure natural resources, such as conflict diamonds and timber.
Libyen I beslutningen beklager EP, at Libyen blev valgt til at lede forhandlingerne under FN-kommissionens samling i år, og man beklager, at EU-medlemslandene afholdt sig fra at stemme under afstemningen.
MEPs welcome the EU’s accession to the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme for the international trade in rough diamonds, and call on all States involved in this trade to join the Scheme and calls for independent monitoring of compliance with the guidelines concerning the trade in diamonds.
EP fastslår, at overholdelse, fremme og beskyttelse af menneskerettighederne er en del af EU's etiske og juridiske grundlag og en hjørnesten i den europæiske enhed og integritet.
Finally, the House calls, with a view to compliance with the principle of good governance, for those persons found guilty of pillaging the resources of the DRC to be dismissed from their posts and to be excluded from office during the transitional period which will precede the establishment of democracy.
FN's endelige rapport om ulovlig udnyttelse af Congos naturressourcer indeholder klare beviser for omfattende svindel med statslige midler via udplyndring af naturressourcer og andre relaterede kriminelle handlinger.
Parliament adopted a joint resolution on world hunger and the elimination of barriers to trade with the poorest countries, expressing its concern at the looming humanitarian disasters throughout the world, it calls on the EU and other donors to respond promptly and substantially to the Africa Hunger Alert campaign launched by the World Food Programme.
EP tager afstand fra nabolandenes og de internationale private virksomheders ulovlige udnyttelse af Congos naturressourcer og anmoder om, at der træffes konkrete foranstaltninger for at bringe denne situation til ophør.
Concerning the EU’s trade policy with developing countries, Parliament welcomes the Council's decision to give free access to the European Union market for all products, except arms, from the least developed countries, emphasises that the full application of this initiative by the end of 2003.
EP anmoder EU's medlemsstater - navnlig de belgiske, tyske, franske og britiske regeringer - om at iværksætte procedurer over for de anklagede, der er angivet med navns nævnelse i FN-rapporten, for deres involvering i udplyndringen af Congo.
MEPs also call for the other developed countries, in particular the United States, to take similar measures.
Folkedrab EP opfordrer den Internationale Straffedomstol til at undersøge de sager om folkedrab o g forbrydelser mod menneskeheden , som er begået i Afrika, når sådanne handlinger er begået for ulovligt at tilegne sig naturressourcer som fx. "konfliktdiamanter og -tømmer".
Furthermore, the House considers that LDCs should in some cases be allowed to protect their economy and proceed to selective market opening, in order to develop their own industries and to ensure their food independence and the survival and development of their small farming.
Sulten i verden:Afskaffelse af handelsbarrierer for fattigste u-lande
Parliament endorses new directive giving public more say in environmental planning
Procedure: Fælles beslutningsforslag
Procedure : Codecision procedure (3rd reading)
EP er dybt bekymret over de truende hu manitære katastrofer verden over og man opfordrer EU og andre donorer til ufortøvet og med væsentlige bidrag til at reagere på den af Verdensfødevareprogrammet iværksatte "Africa Hunger Alert"-kampagne og intensivere fødevarebistanden og den humanitære bistand til de truede regioner samt til at støtte mere langsigtede bestræbelser på at opnå fødevaresikkerhed.
Parliament voted to approve new legislation, agreed with Council last December, which will give the public a greater role in planning permission decisions, environmental impact assessment and pollution control rules affecting, for example, new airport terminals and, in some cases, military projects and civil emergency measures.
Fri markedsadgang EP udtrykker tilfredshed med Rådets afgørelse om at give fri adgang til EU's marked for alle varer undtagen våben fra de mindst udviklede lande , og man opfordrer alle industrilande til at være rede til senere at gøre yderligere indrømmelser med hensyn til markedsadgang for landbrugsprodukter fra udviklingslandene.
Parliament also succeeded in inserting a reporting and review clause committing the Commission to consider, in future, extending the directive to more plans and programmes relating to the environment.
Vores landbrugsstøtte medfører, at vi dumper vore produkter ind på u-landenes markeder og ødelægger deres landbrugs levemuligheder, sluttede Mogens Camre.

Regnskabsgodkendelse for 2000:Opfølgning fra Kommissionen
Parliament endorses zero-sulphur fuel directive
Ordfører: John McCARTIN (PPE-DE, IRL)
Heidi Anneli HAUTALA (Greens/EFA, FIN)
Decharge 2000: Opfølgning
Report on the joint text approved by the Conciliation Committee for a European Parliament and Council directive on the quality of petrol and diesel fuels and amending Directive 98/70/EC (PE-CONS 3677/2002 – C5-0608/2002 – 2001/0107(COD))
Efter EP's godkendelse af EU-regnskabet for 2000 har EU-Kommissionen fulgt op på bemærkningerne til den EP-beslutning, der følger med regnskabsgodkendelsen.
The directive, agreed between negotiating teams from Parliament and Council last December, is part of a raft of EU legislation designed to improve air quality across Europe.
I en betænkning af den irske PPE'er John McCARTIN støtter EP Kommissionens opfølgningsrapport , og man glæder sig over, at Kommissionen har gjort en stor indsats for på tilfredsstillende måde at besvare og kommentere EP's spørgsmål og bemærkninger.
The legislation, steered through Parliament by the Finnish Green MEP Heidi HAUTALA , makes "zero-sulphur" fuels (defined as having a maximum sulphur content of 10 mg/kg (parts per million) mandatory from 2009 - two years earlier than the deadline originally proposed by the Commission - subject to confirmation of fuel quality requirements in a review in 2005.
Uudnyttede bevillinger EP mener, at de uudnyttede bevillinger - budgetoverskud - som udgør 14 % af EU-budgettet for 2000 ikke bliver behandlet seriøst, og man anmoder derfor Kommissionen om at arbejde for at absorbere dette overskud, der er ved at blive et tilbagevendende problem .
At Parliament's insistence, the timetable for requiring off-road machinery and tractors to use sulphur-free fuel has been aligned with the timetable for on-road vehicles.
EP mener, at de store uudnyttede bevillinger - 15 mia. euro i 2001 (16 % af EU-budgettet!) - giver skatteyderne indtryk af, at Kommissionens budgetforvaltning ikke er tilstrækkelig stringent, idet der bør være en rimelig balance mellem indtægter og udgifter.
Another of Parliament's achievements is a reference in the text to fiscal measures "at the appropriate national or Community level" as incentives to introduce cleaner fuels.
Ordfører: Jan MULDER (ELDR, NL)
Anders WIJKMAN (EPP-ED, S)
EP vedtog en betænkning af den hollandske liberale Jan MULDER om, hvordan den reviderede procedure for regnskabsafslutning fungerer.
Poverty-related diseases weigh heavily on development policies, with much good work in recent years being wiped out by the spread of AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis.
Proceduren for regnskabsafslutning blev indført i 1970 og undergik de første væsentlige ændringer i 1996.
In response to this situation, Parliament's is calling for a proactive EU policy to combat these diseases.
EP erkender, at regnskabsafslutningsproceduren er et værktøj, der sikrer systematisk kontrol med EU-udgifterne.
Parliament adopted a resolution by 508 votes in favour, 3 against with 7 abstentions, which backs a Commission proposal for a regulation which provides for a global approach to fighting these illnesses.
Offentlig adgang til miljøoplysninger:Århus-konventionen
However, budgetary questions are the main stumbling block.
Ordfører: Eija-Riitta KORHOLA (PPE-DE, FIN)
Parliament is asking for far higher funding.
Procedure: Den fælles beslutningsprocedure - Tredjebehandling (***III)
Health care systems in developing countries will also have to be improved.
EP godkendte kompromisteksten fra Forligsudvalget om et EU-direktiv om offentlig adgang til miljøoplysninger.
Only 10% of research activity is devoted to the diseases which account for 90% of the world's ailments.
I betænkningen af den finske PPE'er Eija-Riitta KORHOLA fastslås det, at forligsresultatet er tilfredsstillende for EP.
In addition, the House stresses the right of members of the WTO to use the flexibility allowed by TRIPS to protect public health and to ensure access to medicines to all.
Man beklager dog medlemsstaternes modvilje mod at indføre krav, som er mere ambitiøse end Århus-konventionens, på EU-niveau.

Procedure: Den lovgivningsmæssige procedure - Tredjebehandling (***III)
Procedure : Discharge procedure
EP vedtog en kompromistekst fra Forligsudvalget om et direktiv om nedsættelse af svovlindholdet i benzin og dieselolie.
Parliament adopted a resolution expressing concern about the continuation in the year 2001 of unspent funds in the EU’s €94bn budget.
Kompromiset indebærer bla., at
It is particularly critical of the Commission’s failure to recover some €2.245bn illegally paid out of the budget.
Fra den 1. januar 2009 må indholdet af svovl i al benzin og dieselolie - der sælges i EU - højst være 10 mg/kg,
The House remains concerned about incidents of fraud, especially in the agricultural sector.
Medlemslandene skal sikre, at adgangen til benzin med lavt svovlindhold fra begyndelsen af 2005 er passende fordelt geografisk,
The Commission is asked to come up with a strategy to reduce opportunities for fraud in this area.
Der tages højde for følgerne af iblanding af biobrændstoffer og
Other points of concern relating to opportunities for fraud include the system of export refunds and VAT, where cross-border trade is involved.
Medlemslandene opfordres til at fremme anvendelsen af skatteincitamenter
There is support for setting up a European prosecutor to fight cross-border crime.
HIV/AIDS, malaria og tuberkulose:Fattigdomsbetingede sygdomme
Checking on farm spending – still problems
Ordfører: Anders WIJKMAN (PPE-DE, S)
Jan MULDER (ELDR, NL)
Procedure: Den fælles beslutningsprocedure – Førstebehandling (***I)
Procedure : Own-initiative report
EP vedtog en betænkning af den svenske PPE'er Anders WIJKMAN om et forslag til forordning om bekæmpelse af fattigdomsbetingede sygdomme i udviklingslandene - det drejer sig om HIV/AIDS, malaria og tuberkulose.
Parliament adopted a resolution calling for improvements in the procedures for the clearance of accounts.

Krisen i Irak: Krig eller fred?
Spring Summit - call for action on Lisbon goals
For præcis 2 uger siden holdt Europa-Parlamentet i Bruxelles en debat om krisen i Irak, hvor MEP'erne var enige om, at man skal gøre alt for at undgå en krig i Irak - som bør være den absolut sidste udvej.
Motions for resolutions on the preparation for the 2003 Spring summit (Brussels, 21/22.03.2003)
Fredag den 14. februar vil Hans Blix fremlægge en rapport for FN's Sikkerhedsråd , og det græske EU-formandskab har indkaldt til ekstraordinært EU-topmøde om Irak i Bruxelles på mandag den 17. februar, hvor man vil arbejde for at nå frem til en fælles EU-holdning til Irak-spørgsmålet.
MEPs adopted by 359 votes in favour, 89 against and 41 abstentions a joint resolution calling on the European Council to respond to challenges facing the European economy at present by implementing the Lisbon strategy to make the EU "the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world by 2010".
Mandag den 27. januar var EU's udenrigsministre i Bruxelles nået til enighed om 4 grundlæggende principper i en EU-holdning:
The resolution emphasises that the European Council will be judged on how it fulfils the goals and that EU leaders should not set new targets.
Irak skal ikke have masseødelæggelsesvåben , og de skal afvæbnes,
At the same time, it regrets the Commission's limiting of the strategy in 2003 to just structural reforms and it underlines the need to implement such reforms in a way that brings benefits all round and opportunities for all Europe's citizens.
Irak skal samarbejde aktivt med FN's våbeninspektører,
As to economic policy and in particular respect for the Stability and Growth Pact, MEPs support adjusting the Pact.
Våbeninspektørerne skal have al mulig støtte - da de er "vores ører og øjne", som EU's udenrigsrepræsentant Javier SOLANA udtrykte det.
Furthermore, there is a call for a thorough reform of pensions systems to take account of a growing elderly population and the need for the provision of various options including "top-up" supplementary schemes.
Der skal være flere våbeninspektører, de skal have flere midler, og de skal om nødvendigt have mere tid og
The resolution also emphasises that any co-ordination of tax policy should reduce the tax burden on labour, encourage private investment and, in particular, SMEs.
Bekæmpelsen af spredningen af masseødelæggelsesvåben skal foregå i FN's regi.
Indeed MEPs underline the vital role played by SMEs in the European economy and the need to reduce red tape.
Han understregede, at det græske formandskab arbejder for en fredelig bilæggelse af konflikten, og at det er bydende nødvendigt, at Irak lever op til kravene i resolution nr. 1441 fra FN's Sikkerhedsråd.
As regard to improving competitivity and the "knowledge-based economy", MEPs support the implementation of the 3% target for investment in R & D and underline the need to reach agreement on the Community Patent.
Giannitsis understregede, at EU bør tale med en stemme ved at indtage en fælles holdning og stå sammen.
There is a call for more priority to be given to developing the "e-Europe 2005 Action Plan" by for example encouraging common standards for new technology developments, in particular in the mobile phone sector.
Enighed er en forudsætning for, at EU kan være troværdig , og for at EU kan spille sin rolle.
More should be done for those experiencing high unemployment such as young people, women and immigrants by, for example, reforming the tax and benefits system to make work more attractive and improving investment in education and training.
Han håbede derfor på intern EU-enighed under det ekstraordinære EU-topmøde mandag den 17. februar.
MEPs also want to see more done to tackle the hidden economy by, for example, reducing the tax burden.
Det er en stor udfordring for EU, der står svagere og mere splittet end nogensinde før .
At the same time, there is support for initiatives to tackle poverty and social exclusion.
Han glædede sig over det ekstraordinære topmøde om Irak, hvor han håbede, at EU kunne nå frem til en fælles holdning.
In the area of education and training, MEPs want to see more done to promote lifelong learning and the recognition of qualifications.
Humanitære situation Nielson fastslog, at den humanitære situation i Irak er forfærdelig efter krigen mod Iran, Golfkrigen og 10 års sanktioner mod landet.
Sustainable development too can play a vital role and there is a call for national action plans on environment policy to foster, for example, clean technology.
Kommissionen har brugt 156 mio. euro til f ødevarehjælp til Irak i "Olie for mad"-programmet, og i 2003 regner ECHO med at bruge 15 mio. euro til fødevarehjælp i Irak.
Moving forward on the basis of "open co-ordination" is another way of encouraging co-operation in areas where the EU does not have legal competence such as pensions and health systems but MEPs emphasise the importance of monitoring to ensure progress here.
Poul Nielson frygtede, at et militært angreb kunne føre til store flygtningestrømme i området og med negative følger for Israel-palæstinenser-konflikten.
Tassos GIANNITSIS , President-in-Office of Council and Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs of Greece came before the House to brief MEPs on preparations for the Spring employment summit.
Tysklands selvisolation Under ordførerrunden sagde formanden for PPE-gruppen, den tyske kristelige demokrat Hans-Gert PÖTTERING , at Europa udviser er trist billede, idet vi har fejlet i en fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik - men vi må i stedet styrke anstrengelserne.
Although he expressed concern about the uncertain international environment, he looked forward to progress being made in developing EU policies to improve competitivity, job prospects and social cohesion.
Problemet er Saddam Husseins terrorregime.
As he put it " undeniably, we are now at a turning point.
Irak er egentligt et rigt land, men det er blevet udplyndret af Saddam Hussein, og det er Saddam Husseins ansvar, om vi får krig eller fred.
Progress had been made, he said, since the year 2000 in such areas as the liberalisation of the energy markets and moving towards a "Single European Sky".
