Derfor har EU-Kommissionen nu foreslået en ny "smidigere og mere realistisk" mekanisme, som giver Kommissionen en 6-måneders periode til med diplomatiske midler at søge at indføre visumfritagelse.
Parliament adopted a number of amendments to the Commission's plan, notably aimed at increasing (from 10 to 90 days) the time available to a Member State to negotiate on a bilateral basis with the third country concerned, and at broadening the definition of reciprocity to cover procedural changes by a third country " the effect of which is substantially to limit the movement of nationals of a Member State ."
I en betænkning af den finske liberale Henrik LAX støtter EP Kommissionens forslag, selv om man fremsætter en række ændringsforslag.
MEPs also want Parliament to have a more prominent role in the proposed process for reinstating visa requirements for third countries.

Social and Employment Policy
Han mindede om de frygtelige lidelser, der blev påført civilbefolkningen, herunder 60 mio. døde, 30 mio. flygtninge, systematisk udryddelse af hele folkeslag og etniske mindretal, samt omfattende ødelæggelse af byer, infrastruktur og samfundsøkonomi.
According to the rapporteur, extending the reference period meets reasonable concerns regarding the flexibility of regulations, but it has to be guaranteed that it's implemented reasonably with checks and a guarantee of protection of health and safety.
For Europa blev den 8. maj 1945 ikke kun en fredens dag, men også begyndelsen på en periode, hvor halvdelen af kontinentet blev påtvunget en ny samfundsorden, som havde sit udspring i Jalta-aftalerne.
In further amendments to the Commission's text, MEPs decided that working hours should be organised in such a way as to give employees the opportunity for life-long learning.
I realiteten udskiftede disse lande blot én totalitær styreform med en anden, understregede parlamentsformanden.
And they want to make it clear that workers who have more than one employment contract are covered by the directive, so another amendment spells out that an individual's working time must be calculated as the sum of the periods under each of the contracts.
Derfor glædede han sig over, at Europa netop i disse dage kan glæde sig over 1-årsdagen for den store udvidelse i maj 2004.
Background The working time directive (Directive 2003/88/EC) provides a basic level of protection for most workers, with the notable exception of managers.
Ved den lejlighed blev en række af de berørte lande optaget som medlemmer af EU, og Bulgarien og Rumænien følger efter i 2007.
It means an employee has the right to a daily 11-hour rest period, regular breaks, a weekly working time of no more than 48 hours, a minimum annual holiday of four weeks, and, in general, that night time working should be limited to eight hours out of 24.
Europa har endelig fundet vej tilbage til sig selv, sagde Josep Borrell.
In 1993, the UK negotiated an opt-out system, which authorised Member States not to apply the 48-hour limit under certain conditions.
EU er grundlagt ud fra ønsket om at sikre, at disse forfærdelige begivenheder aldrig skal kunne gentage sig, fastslog parlamentsformanden.
The individual employee had to agree in advance, workers who refused to waive their rights must not be victimised and working hours of people who did waive their rights must be recorded.
Derfor lagde han vægt på at markere ikke én, men tre mærkedage ved denne lejlighed:
Although this opt-out was not limited to the UK, this is where it has been most widely used.
60-årsdagen for 2.
This has major financial and organisational implications for many Member States.
Verdenskrigs afslutning
He considered that working conditions were the way to do this.
55-årsdagen for grundlæggelsen af EU
Just as citizens are looking for progress on the constitutional front, they are also asking what the EU can do for them".
1-årsdagen for den store udvidelse med lande fra Øst- og Centraleuropa.
He called for the opt-out to be scrapped without exceptions, saying that there must be the same legal base in all Member States. "
Det er vigtigt at viderebringe dette budskab til den unge generation, som kun kender freden, sagde Josep Borrell.
On the matter of on-call time, including the inactive part, he said that this had to be considered as working time.
Det er EU's målsætning fortsat at kæmpe for fred, retfærdighed og respekt for menneskerettighederne, ikke blot i Europa, men overalt i verden.
Finally, he called for a balance to be struck between the need for flexibility and the health and safety of workers, adding that these terms were wholly compatible.
Det er afgørende betydning, at de europæiske borgere kan se EU som garant for fred, sikkerhed, retfærdighed og velstand, sluttede parlamentsformanden.
Acknowledging a consensus in Parliament, he called on the Commission and the Council not to break any agreement.
For yderligere at markere den særlige anledning, blev formandens erklæring efterfulgt af et musikalsk indslag.
Stephen HUGHES (PES, UK) was in favour of the phasing out of the opt-out along with an annual calculation of working time so as to allow greater flexibility for business while also improving worker safety.
Den verdenskendte lettiske violinist, Baiba SKRIDE , spillede et musikstykke af Bach.
On the danger of the opt-out, he said, "o pening the door to a universal opt-out is in reality the path to a long-hours economy ."
Hendes optræden blev hilst med meget varmt bifald.
Citing a 1996 ECJ ruling linking personal well-being to work and family life, he finished by emphasising the impact of work on quality of life. "
60 år efter afslutningen på 2.
Everything is to do with work and family life ."
Verdenskrig:"Historiens lektie": - Det må aldrig ske igen!
Jean LAMBERT (Greens, ALE) said that the working time directive was " an extremely important piece of legislation and an historic struggle for the labour movement ".
Forslag til beslutning af Elmar BROK (PPE/DE, DE)
She expressed concern at the prevalence of long working hours throughout the European Union, reaching 60 hours per week according to UK-based Work Foundation.
60-års-dagen for afslutningen af anden verdenskrig
Considering that the legislation, in so far as it applied to employees, was all about the rights of employees, she rejected the demands for flexibility as " a one-way street ".
Den 8. maj 1945 kapitulerede det Tredje Rige - det nationalsocialistiske Tyskland.
She criticised the way in which the opt-out is used by employers, taking away workers' choices, who often have no idea that there is a limit to working time.
Onsdag den 11. maj 2005 gjorde man i Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg status over Europas historie i de seneste 60 år .
She concluded that all on-call time must be considered as working time, whether in the health sector or not, and saw as " crucial " the issue of compensatory rest because " stress is one of the biggest causes of time off work ".
Allerede mandag den 9. maj 2005 havde EP-formand, spanieren Josep BORRELL holdt en historisk tale i Strasbourg, hvor man mindedes
Derek CLARK (IND/DEM, UK) called for a " better deal " for workers, saying that " the best deal a worker can get is to have a job ".
Schuman-dagen den 9. maj 1950,
Philip BUSHILL-MATTHEWS (EPP-ED, UK) focussed his comments on the opt-out.
Udvidelsen med de 10 nye lande den 1. maj 2004, som på en måde markerede afslutningen på Europas opdeling efter den 2.
Many of the new Member States supported the opt-out as did all the social partners except the ETUC.
EP understreger betydningen af, at mindet om fortiden fastholdes, idet der ikke kan være tale om forsoning uden sandhed og uden, at begivenhederne huskes.
It was not for the EU to decide how to restrict working hours and the issue had nothing to with health and safety.
Kun et stærkt Europa kan tilbyde en løsning, når det gælder om at overvinde fortidens grusomheder .
It was not for the EU to interfere in this area and he disagreed strongly with Stephen Hughes his PES colleague.
Europas værdier EP betragter de positive resultater af den europæiske integrationsproces og den transatlantiske alliance og den fred og velstand, denne har medført, som en klar reaktion på den lære, der har kunnet drages af fortidens ulykker og fejl .
Mr Davies stated that he had never worked less than a 48-hour week and had no intention of doing so.
EP gentager sin støtte til et fredeligt og velstående Europa, der bygger på værdier som
Finally, he stated that the regulation would only serve to encourage euro-scepticism and lead to an increase in the black-market sector.
respekt for menneskerettighederne.
The day, he said, should be about remembering and it marked a new era for Europe.
Overvundet diktaturer!
Citizens, he said, expected a lot from Europe.
Sovjets tyranni EP erindrer om, at for nogle nationers vedkommende - læs Central- og Østeuropa! - medførte anden verdenskrigs ophør et nyt tyranni , som var påført dem af Stalins Sovjetunion.
The future of Europe lies, he said, in its rebirth, which can only come from a new reflection on Europe's " collective ambition ".
I beslutningen glæder EP sig derfor over, at de central- og østeuropæiske lande nu også kan leve i frihed og har ret til at bestemme over deres egen skæbne efter så mange årtier under sovjetisk eller andre kommunistiske diktaturers herredømme eller besættelse.
He recalled Europe's important role in facilitating the stability and democratisation of other countries, with its motto " Europe is strength ", allowing it to be a " credible reference point for democracy and solidarity for developing countries ".
EP glæder sig over den tyske genforening og at 10 af de central- og østeuropæiske lande er blevet - eller snart vil blive - medlemmer af EU.
As Europe commemorates the 60th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, the task of European integration, he said, is inspired by " a renewed vigilance to ensure that history never again repeats itself " and to confront new challenges.
"Kollektiv hukommelse" Den luxembourgske premierminister Jean-Claude JUNCKER fastslog, at det er en pligt at mindes den 8. maj 1945 - som er det Tredje Riges kapitulationsdato.
He described this as a " sign of the times, where great changes are taking place " in a Union that has become a centre for capital and investment, but said it was important to renew the passion and enthusiasm that led to the European Union.
I 1933 kapitulerede det tyske demokrati, og der fulgte en frygtelig tid til maj 1945.
On the question of how to advance Europe's future given the risks of a decline, he asked, " Why do 450 million of us wish to live together and share a common destiny?
I denne periode nåede menneskeheden så dybt den kunne nå!
The European adventure can only be about people and nations in their diversity.
Derfor er det i dag vigtigt med en "kollektiv hukommelse" af det, der skete dengang.
The task is to return to the heritage of the past and continue with the challenges of the future ".
Juncker understregede, at den 8. maj 1945 var en befrielsesdato for Europa - og også for tyskerne.
The Grand Duke spoke about his own country, Luxembourg, as part of a " Europe of small nations " whose thinking nevertheless affects the " Europe of large nations ", and considered that Europe's future lay in building on this particularity and diversity.
Og tyskerne har aldrig været så gode naboer som i dag.
He stressed the fact that progress can not be measured by GDP alone. "
Men hvis det britiske folk under Winston Churchill ikke havde sagt fra, så havde vi ikke haft det Europa, vi har i dag.
The debate on this motion will take place during the next plenary session in Brussels on 25 May 2005, with the vote to follow at the Strasbourg session of 6-9 June 2005.
Formanden for EU-Kommissionen, portugiseren Jose Manuel BARROSO fastslog, at vi europæere bør være ydmyge, idet vi i det 20. århundrede har begået de største fejltrin i verdenshistorien .
The resolution renews the Parliament's commitment to a peaceful and prosperous Europe founded on the values of respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights.
Winston Churchill havde ret, da han i 1946 pegede på, at et partnerskab mellem Frankrig og Tyskland skulle være det første trin i opbygningen af et samarbejdende Europa.
The resolution stresses that the process of European integration has helped to overcome almost all post-war dictatorships on the European continent, both in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and in Spain, Portugal and Greece.
Barroso understregede, at EU i dag ikke må blive offer for sin egen succes.
Parliament also declares that, under the Helsinki Agreements, no country has the right to decide on the destiny of another country.
EU har en enestående opgave, og snart vil vi være 27 lande med 500 millioner indbyggere.
Finally, MEPs call on all countries to open their archives pertaining to World War II.
Det startede som forsoning efter 2.
Statement by President Borrell followed by debate
Verdenskrig, det udviklede sig til samarbejde, og i dag har vi en europæisk union, sluttede Barroso.
As you are aware, the war in the Pacific continued until 14 August and culminated in terrifying images of nuclear annihilation.
Tyske folk endte som offer!
Europe at that time was a continent destroyed, starving and under threat.
Under den politiske ordførerrunde, sagde formanden for PPE-gruppen, den tyske CDU'er Hans-Gert PÖTTERING , at Europa havde været en ruinhob i 1945.
On 8 May 1945, certain contemporary political leaders proclaimed that the flags of freedom were flying 'across' Europe.
Hans far var meldt savnet i marts 1945 - og han så aldrig sin far.
In 1945 we defeated a totalitarian regime, yet half of Europe was promptly taken over by another one, which proved particularly vice-like and resilient.
Nationalsocialismen var skyld i krigen - hvor mordet på jøderne var den værste forbrydelse.
The world entered an era of bi-polarity and ideological conflict and lived through a nuclear-inspired age of terror.
Det tyske folk endte også med at blive offer.
Our continent was rent asunder.
Og uden Storbritannien havde vi aldrig haft det Europa, vi har i dag.
Today, 60 years on, we are able within the European Parliament to commemorate jointly a Europe which has both triumphed and rediscovered itself.
Og uden det franske storsind efter 2.
On 1 May of this year we celebrated the first anniversary of our re-encounter with 10 new countries - which will soon be joined by more.
Verdenskrig havde Europa været en tom ide.
This gives greater significance to today: 9 May (Europe Day) - the date upon which, 55 years ago, foundations were laid which would enable our continent to come to terms with the desolation of war.
Pöttering erindrede om, at det sovjetiske-stalinistiske totalitære system havde overtaget Østeuropa efter nationalsocialisterne - og at fred uden frihed kun er en halv befrielse.
With the new countries' recent accession to the European Union, those terms have now been met in full.
Formanden for den socialistiske gruppe, den tyske SPD'er Martin SCHULZ pegede på, at ingen tyske folkevalgte glemmer, at de er tyskere.
Today is a fine opportunity for us to remind ourselves (and each other) of our duty to preserve a collective memory - and in doing so to involve in particular the younger generations, who have no experience of war.
Lektien er, at det aldrig nogen sinde må ske igen .
In our modern Europe the individual is no longer subordinate to the State, and law and order prevail.
Men det kræver en daglig kamp for demokratiet og for Europa- Det Tredje Rige var et "moralsk nul-punkt" i menneskehedens historie.
Our system - our genetic code - is based on the division of powers, on the sovereignty of the people and on human rights.
Formanden for den liberale gruppe, skotten Graham WATSON , fastslog, at det tog lang tid for Europa at lære lektien - det skulle 2 verdenskrige til.
We must all commit ourselves to the continuing struggle to uphold the values of peace, justice and tolerance - in the world as a whole and not just within Europe.
Fred og demokrati er svage og følsomme ting.
Peace is no longer what the people of Europe are hoping for.
Og styrken ligger i samarbejde, sagde Graham Watson.
We already have peace amongst ourselves and we all regard it as irreversible.
"Anti-totalitær forpligtelse"!
Our obligation is to look to the future in order to make that future a reality."
Den tyske grønne Daniel COHN-BENDIT pegede på, at hans forældre var flygtet fra Tyskland i 1933, og at han var et barn af befrielsen.
On behalf of the Council, Jean-Claude JUNCKER, in an impassioned speech, said that it was important to " speak the truth " and recognise that May 8 1945 was a day of Liberation.
Hans barndom havde været fyldt af rædsler.
Noting that Europe was itself a product of the war, he concluded, " let us be proud of this Europe that our fore-bearers have built for us ".
Cohn-Bendit fastslog, at vi aldrig mere må fristes af totalitære systemer.
The President of the European Commission, José Manuel BARROSO, recognised that true freedom for millions of Europeans came from the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Ingen ideologi kan frigøre mennesket.
But he cautioned not to take the Europe of today for granted, saying, " the history of Europe has revealed we have to work for peace ".
Kun det skrøbelige demokrati kan gøre dette.
In this sense, he saw the European Constitution as the way towards greater progress in the future.
Tyskland kender det hele - både nationalsocialismen og kommunismen.
Graham WATSON (ALDE, UK) said that the debate must be about the future, not the past. "
Vi har derfor en "anti-totalitær forpligtelse".
Let us rejoice that Europe is united in peace ", he said.
Vi skal tale med Rusland og med Kina - og også om deres forbrydelser og krænkelser af menneskerettighederne.
But he sounded a note of caution. "
Vi må ikke opgive vore idealer , sluttede Cohn-Bendit.
There are no guarantees.
Historisk revisionisme?
Can we move forward or will our achievements melt before our eyes and be replaced by national conflicts? "
Den franske GUE'er Francis WURTZ sagde, at hans gruppe ville stemme imod Elmar Broks beslutningsforslag, som efter GUE-gruppens opfattelse ikke ligger langt fra historisk revisionisme.
He referred to new global challenges, such as climate change, international organised crime and terrorism, and saw greater convergence as the key to better facing such global challenges.
Tale i EP:Storhertug Henri af Luxembourg
He thus welcomed cooperation with Russia and China but warned against tolerating authoritarian regimes.
Formanden for Europa-Parlamentet, spanieren Josep BORRELL , bød hjerteligt velkommen til storhertug Henri og storhertuginde Maria Teresa af Luxembourg.
Nigel FARAGE (IND/DEM) asked what the arguments for the EU are, emphasising that it was wrong to say that the European Union had kept the peace in Europe for the last 60 years.
Han mindede om, at Luxembourg altid, også under forgængeren, storhertug Jean (far til den nuværende storhertug, red.), har været en varm forkæmper for den europæiske integration.
He held NATO up as the sole guarantor of peace, which he said was an example of intergovernmental cooperation, and cited the examples of wars in Yugoslavia, the former Soviet Union and the USA as proof that " federalism does not guarantee peace ".
Det nuværende luxembourgske EU-formandskab har videreført denne tradition med dygtigt politisk arbejde.
He concluded by saying, " we must tell the peoples of Europe the truth about our ambitions and give them free and fair referendums or we will be heading for disaster ".
Det har således gennemført en tilpasning af Vækst- og Stabilitetspagten, pustet nyt liv i Lissabon-strategien og har forestået aftalen om optagelse af Bulgarien og Rumænien.

Sammen med Europa-Parlamentets formand og formændene for de politiske grupper deltog han i mindehøjtideligheden i anledning af 60-årsdagen for befrielsen af koncentrationslejren Auschwitz.
I am delighted and honoured to address this distinguished gathering, particularly as this is my first visit to the European Parliament.
Denne og andre foranstaltninger til markering af 60-årsdagen for afslutning af fjendtlighederne i Europa understreger behovet for at sikre, at historien ikke gentager sig.
It gives me great confidence for the future of Afghanistan and our region to see the countries of Europe come together here in a spirit of unity and cooperation.
Det giver ny energi til arbejdet med den europæiske integration, sagde han.
It was not so long ago that the Iron Curtain divided Europe into West and East.
Markante resultater Storhertug Henri understregede, at EU i de seneste 15 år har haft markant fremgang.
Yet, today, that curtain has been removed to reveal a mosaic, where each piece retains a distinct identity, but together form a greater entity.
EU fremstår i dag som et værdifællesskab, der tjener som eksempel for hele verden.
Two days ago, Europe celebrated the 60th anniversary of the Victory in Europe day, the anniversary of Europe’s new beginning.
Der er skabt et reelt indre marked med en fælles mønt og åbne grænser, som tillader 450 mio. europæiske borgere at bevæge sig frit i et fælles rum baseret på frihed og sikkerhed.
While in the past, European conflicts had global implications, today European cooperation is improving lives and is a source of admiration across the world.
EU har været i stand til at åbne sig mod øst og optage nye medlemsstater fra Øst- og Centraleuropa.
We, the people of Afghanistan, are also grateful for the international security and economic support we have received over the last three years.
Endelig udgør EU i globaliseringens tidsalder en solid modpol til de andre gigantiske økonomiske centre, USA, Japan, Kina, Indien og Brasilien.
The European Union, in particular, has been one of the largest supporters of Afghanistan.
Fremmedgjort og marginaliseret I de nye medlemsstater er der fortsat glæde over at være blevet medlem af den europæiske familie, sagde storhertugen.
We are grateful for your generous contributions, the commitment of troops from your nations, and the technical assistance you have provided and continue to provide.
Men det må beklageligvis konstateres, at mange borgere, herunder et stort antal unge, føler sig fremmedgjort og marginaliseret i forhold til det europæiske projekt, sagde han.
Most importantly, you show us what our region’s future could be: a future of peace, a future of unity, and a future of cooperation.
En af årsagerne kan være, at udviklingen går for hurtigt, så borgerne ikke når at tilpasse sig de store forandringer, vurderede han.
Afghanistan was one of the least-developed countries, even before its invasion by the former Soviet Union.
En anden årsag kan være, at et EU baseret alene på kapital, investeringer, forordninger og subsidier, næppe er tjenlig til at vække varme følelser hos borgerne, for slet ikke at sige de unge, konkluderede han.
Ten years of fighting the Soviet invasion, followed by more than a decade of foreign interference and factional conflict, further impoverished our country.
Europas borgere har en fælles fremtid på et fælles kontinent, men udviklingen skal ske med respekt for mangfoldigheden som udtrykt i de forskellige lande og folkeslag, sagde han.
Given that opportunity in 2001, the people of Afghanistan enthusiastically began the process of rebuilding our country.
Samtidig pegede han på, at selv de bedste vækstkurver ikke betyder noget i sig selv, hvis de ikke kan omsættes til lettere adgang til de mest fundamentale goder, herunder uddannelse, kultur, sundhed, social retfærdighed og beskæftigelse.
Today, we have an enlightened and progressive constitution which safeguards human rights, guaranteeing the equality of men and women, provides for a free-market economy and creates a framework for responsible government.
