EP bekræfter, at respekt for og fremme og sikring af menneskerettighedernes universalitet er en del af EU's etiske og juridiske regelværk og en af hjørnestenene i den europæiske enhed og integritet.
The ' average consumer ' is still the benchmark, as the Commission itself suggested, but the definition of this, plus a reference to Court of Justice case-law, have been tightened up by MEPs.
EP understreger behovet for øget samråd, samarbejde og koordination mellem EU og FN - især UNCHR.
To avoid going to conciliation, MEPs compromised on some of their initial proposals (68 in number) and withdrew others.
Og man opfordrer indtrængende EU til at spille rollen som banebryder i FN's Menneskerettighedskommission.
The Council, which had already agreed to a majority of Parliament's 58 first reading amendments, made it clear that it would not accept some of the MEPs' resubmitted proposals.
"Tredjegenerationsrettigheder" I beslutningen fastslår EP, at et af EU's vigtigste mål er at bevare princippet om, at menneskerettighederne - herunder de borgerlige, politiske, økonomiske, sociale og kulturelle rettigheder samt de såkaldte "tredjegenerationsrettigheder" såsom retten til udvikling, fred, og et sundt miljø - er universelle, udelelige, indbyrdes forbundne og indbyrdes afhængige.
In particular, with regard to the ' common market ' clause, the Council refused to reintroduce (as in the Commission's initial proposal and as favoured by certain MEPs) the 'country of origin' principle (under which the law of the Member State where the trader is established is applicable).
Togo: Militærindblanding i præsidentembedet
Restrictive measures against Côte d'Ivoire
Situationen i Togo
Jean-Marie CAVADA (ALDE, FR)
Procedure: Fælles beslutningsforslag
Joint motion for a resolution on Togo
Den 1. februar 2005 afsatte Nepals konge Gyanendra på forfatningsstridig vis regeringen, og han overtog den direkte magt og erklærede Nepal i undtagelsestilstand .
The House calls on King Gyanendra to lift the state of emergency, to restore all fundamental freedoms and, following this, calls for all parties to work together with a view to reestablishing parliamentary democracy and to start a process to resolve the armed conflict.
Ved statskuppet blev Nepal sat under militærstyre ved at vigtige dele af forfatningen blev sat ud af kraft, politiske ledere sat i husarrest, tusindvis af politiske aktivister, menneskerettighedsforkæmpere, journalister og fagforeningsledere blev fængslet, medierne censureret og alle kommunikationslinjer afbrudt.
Parliament stresses that press censorship and the severing of communications with the outside world prevent public scrutiny of the army’s actions and have put the Nepalese at greater risk of abuse, and asks for freedom of the media and communications to be fully restored.
Den særlige domstol for Sierra Leone: Charles Taylor-sagen
Joint motion for a resolution on the Special Court for Sierra Leone: the case of Charles Taylor
Baggrunden er, at Charles Taylor, tidligere præsident i Liberia, i 2003 blev tiltalt ved den særlige domstol for Sierra Leone for en lang række anklagepunkter om forbrydelser mod menneskeheden og krigsforbrydelser, herunder drab, lemlæstelse og voldtægt.
MEPs call on the United Nations Security Council to consider this issue as a matter of urgency and call on the UN, the EU and Member States to build international pressure in order to bring about Charles Taylor's extradition.
Charles Taylor opholder sig i Nigeria, hvor han som tidligere statsoverhoved har påberåbt sig immunitet for retsforfølgelse.
Parliament welcomes the Liberian transitional government's decision to freeze the assets of former president Taylor and his associates.
Parlamentet henviser til, at Charles Taylor stadig udgør en trussel mod international fred og sikkerhed og underminerer den europæiske indsats for at støtte varig fred i Vestafrika.
Finally, MEPs call on the EU to keep supporting the 2003 peace agreement between Liberia's three warring factions and the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections scheduled for October 2005.
Offentlig sundhed og forbruger anliggender
Action against hunger and poverty
Ordfører: Mercedes BRESSO (PSE, IT)
Frédérique RIES (ALDE, BE)
Torsdag den 24. februar 2005 vedtog Europa-parlamentet i Strasbourg en betænkning af den italienske socialist Mercedes BRESSO om et direktivforslag fra EU-Kommissionen om virksomheders urimelige handelspraksis over for forbrugerne på det indre marked .
MEPs adopted a joint resolution, by 458 votes in favour, 78 against, with 23 abstentions, calling on the Member States and the Commission to promote initiatives to prevent the downscaling of the European steel industry and the consequent losses of qualified jobs, particularly at those poles of excellence where there has been much investment in innovation.
Der var tale om Europa-Parlamentets anden behandling af direktivforslaget om urimelig handelspraksis.
Parliament calls on Thyssen Krupp, following such intervention by the Italian government and the Commission, to maintain worker numbers and comply with the investment plan submitted in June 2004.
Direktivet indfører et generelt forbud mod urimelig handelspraksis og opstiller en ikke-udtømmende vejledende liste med generelle og specifikke eksempler på urimelig handelspraksis, som bl.a. skal lette fortolkningen for de nationale domstole.
MEPs express their solidarity with the workers affected, whether employed at the AST plant or in related activities, whose jobs are now at risk.
Ved afstemningen vedtog EP en række ændringsforslag til Ministerrådets fælles holdning.
MEPs call on the Commission and national governments to introduce legislation on corporate social responsibility in the interests of sustainable development.
- "Vi bør lytte til borgernes bekymringer og bruge et sprog, enhver kan forstå ...
MEPs ask the Commission to present a communication on the current state of the steel sector and to create a high-level group on this sector.
Med "Lissabon-strategien" eller "Københavns-kriterierne" eller "Maastricht" ligner EU-Kommissionen snarere et rejsebureau end en institution, der træffer beslutninger på borgernes vegne!" .
Finally, Parliament calls on the Commission to work for a decision at WTO and OECD level which would ensure the protection of the Union's steel industry on the international market.

Økonomiske og monetære anliggender
Release of Italian journalist in Iraq
Midtvejsrevision af "Lissabon-strategien":Fokus på vækst og beskæftigelse!
President Josep BORRELL called once again for the release of journalists held in Iraq.
Forslag til beslutning
He recalled that the Conference of Presidents had, on 3 March, adopted a resolution on their release.
Midtvejsevaluering af Lissabon-strategien
The latest news on the freeing of Journalist Giuliana SGRENA , he said, had been overshadowed by the death of intelligence officer Nicola CALIPARI .
Forhandling: 9. marts 2005
He called on the American authorities to shed light on the tragic events.
Afstemning: 9. marts 2005
President Borrell read out the statement:
Fire målsætninger Parlamentet mener, at Lissabon-strategien skal koncentreres om fire målsætninger:
It decides the photos of the hostages to be displayed in the European Parliament buildings.
Fremme af offentlige og private investeringer
It believes that there is no democracy without freedom of information and that journalists' work has to be protected all over the world.
Et vidensbaseret samfund
It says that every possible effort must be made to ensure that the media can fulfil their tasks, especially in conflict zones, including Iraq.
En socialpolitik baseret på inddragelse, tryghed og tilpasningsevne
It reiterates its warmest heart-felt support to the families and colleagues of the hostages and to all of those assumed missing."
Styrkelse af EU's miljøpolitik
Remembrance of Katyn Forest tragedy
Serviceydelser EP peger på vigtigheden af at færdiggøre det indre marked, især med hensyn til markedet for serviceydelser.
President BORRELL also commemorated the tragic events of 5 March 1940.
Rådet anmodes om at støtte et rammedirektiv om forsyningspligtydelser for at sikre høj kvalitet og lige adgang under anvendelse af subsidiaritetsprincippet og proportionalitetsprincippet.
He recalled that 21,000 military officers and intellectuals were massacred by Soviet agents in Katyn Forest.
SMVer De små og mellemstore virksomheder (SMV) har i de senere år skabt flere job end nogen anden sektor.
President Borrell marked the day 65 years ago, when dictator Josef Stalin had ordered the killings.
Derfor opfordrer EP til at skabe et mere SMV-venligt miljø uden bureaukratiske hindringer og med bedre adgang til investeringer.
President BORRELL condemned the Turkish police reaction to women celebrating International Women's Day - 8 March.
Endvidere opfordres Rådet og Kommissionen til at fremme udviklingen af et EU-patent, som vil skabe muligheder for SMV og sætte skub i den teknologiske udvikling.
President of Parliament Josep BORRELL recalled that, at the initiative of the European Parliament and taken up by the EU, 11 March would be the European day to commemorate the victims of terrorism.
I den forbindelse foreslås det ligeledes at benytte midler til udvikling af landdistrikter til fordel for yngre landbrugeres videreuddannelse, hvilket vil have særlig betydning i de nye medlemsstater.
President Borrell stated that himself, Commission President José Manuel BARROSO and Kofi ANNAN would be participating in the Conference on " Democracy and Terrorism ", organised by the Madrid Club.
Bedre styring Parlamentet støtter idéen om nationale handlingsplaner til gennemførelse af Lissabon-strategien og kræver færre, men bedre indikatorer for at opnå en bedre måling af fremskridtene inden for de enkelte elementer af processen.
He said there was no justification for terrorism but there were causes and these needed to be examined.
I den forbindelse peger det på betydningen af en hurtig færdiggørelse af de transeuropæiske net (TEN).
10.20am Young people take the floor - Spokespeople for schools invited to present their contributions on the subject of rejecting terrorism (EN/FR/NL)
Det støtter derfor Kommissionens bestræbelser på at overtale medlemsstaterne til at finansiere disse projekter med støtte fra EU-budgettet og via partnerskaber mellem den offentlige og den private sektor.
11am Minute's silence in memory of the victims of the 11 March 2004 attacks in Madrid
Der er brug for en rationalisering og forenkling af processen, så den fremtræder mere forståelig for borgerne, sagde han.
The resolution sets out Parliament's views ahead of the Spring Summit of EU leaders.
Strategiens bærende elementer skal dog bevares, nemlig bæredygtig vækst, øget beskæftigelse, den sociale dimension samt hensyn til miljøet, konkluderede han.
Parliament says stronger efforts are needed to finalise the internal market and that Member States must face up to the structural reforms necessary to preserve the European Social Model.
Mere ambitiøs dagsorden Formanden for Kommissionen, portugiseren José Manuel BARROSO , ønskede at sætte skub i processen.
Sound environmental, health and food safety policies will have a positive impact on growth and competitiveness.
Han glædede sig over Parlamentets støtte til en mere ambitiøs dagsorden for Lissabon-strategien.
The resolution says "growth-oriented, sustainable macroeconomic conditions must be guaranteed if (...) economic, social and environmental objectives are to be achieved and that this is a prerequisite for the international competitiveness of Europe."
Visionen er at skabe en bedre konkurrenceevne i et udvidet EU under hensyntagen til kravet om en bæredygtig udvikling og opretholdelse af den europæiske sociale model, sagde han.
Parliament "notes that a dynamic economy and labour market, a stable currency, the reduction of state debt and deficits and arrangements guaranteeing sustainable pensions are fundamental to this process."
Partnerskab Kommissionsformanden vurderede, at midtvejsrevisionen af Lissabon-strategien bør indeholde bl.a. følgende konkrete punkter:
At the same time, say MEPs, labour markets should promote both dynamism and security, social security should be modernised, but not weakened, and high social and environmental standards should be seen as part of Europe's competitive advantage.
Etablering af et Europæisk Teknologisk Institut, hvis opgave skal være at hjælpe især de små og mellemstore virksomheder med innovation og udvikling.
They emphasise the importance of achieving a single market in services, while inviting the Commission to adopt a Community legal framework for services of general interest, guaranteeing quality and access for all while respecting the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality.
Fremskyndelse af strukturreformer med det formål at hjælpe kvinder, unge og ældre med at finde beskæftigelse.
MEPs call for a new momentum in the effort to eliminate poverty by 2010.
Forenkling af informationskravene til medlemsstaterne, fordi der skal bruges flere kræfter på at gennemføre reformer end på at skrive om dem.
Specific points include calls for: action to create a more SME-friendly environment; a new initiative on the energy market to ensure a level playing field between all actors and forms of energy including renewables; rural development spending, especially on training young farmers; increased support for eco-technologies and eco-efficient innovations; rapid construction of the Trans European Network project; a new information society initiative.
Styrkelse af den europæiske sociale model gennem aftaler mellem arbejdsmarkedets partner.
MEPs say a satisfactory agreement on the REACH chemicals legislation would provide a clear example of the Lisbon Strategy in action, balancing competitiveness and environmental, social and public health goals.
Det er af afgørende betydning, at denne udvikling gennemføres i et partnerskab mellem EU, medlemsstaterne og arbejdsmarkedets parter, og derfor er jeg ekstra glad for at kunne regne med Europa-Parlamentets støtte, sluttede José Manuel Barroso.
The resolution gives strong backing to research, saying Member States should commit themselves to raising research and development spending to 3 per cent of national income (2 per cent private spending and the rest from the public sector).
Samtidig skal europæiske produkter også afspejle vores værdigrundlag, nemlig kravet om en bæredygtig udvikling, respekt for menneskerettighederne og hensyn til miljøet.
The resolution calls for all draft EU legislation to be checked for consistency with the Lisbon objectives, and for fewer but better indicators of progress, including a publicly accessible database to be set up clearing showing the rate at which Member States are putting Lisbon-related legislation into action.
Det kan kun ske ved en fælles indsats med støtte fra EU-institutionerne, medlemsstaterne og arbejdsmarkedets parter, understregede han.
MEPs insist on a strong partnership between Parliament and the Commission on the Lisbon Agenda, and between the European Parliament and national parliaments.
Samtidig pegede han på nødvendigheden af at forhøje de finansielle overslag for at finansiere de nødvendige reformer.
An interparliamentary conference is to be held in Brussels on 16-17 March to this end.
Vi kommer ingen vegne, hvis vi ikke har et ordentligt budget, sluttede han.
Finally, the role of the European Investment Bank should be reinforced, with a better focus on supporting Lisbon-led initiatives.
Under den politiske ordførerrunde sagde formanden for PPE-gruppen, den tyske CDU'er Hans-Gert PÖTTERING , at Kommissionen og Rådet lægger vægt på de rigtige prioriteter - nemlig vækst og beskæftigelse .
Hans-Gert POETTERING (DE), for the EPP-ED group, welcomed the fact that the Commission had set out quantitative targets in the mid-term review of the Lisbon Strategy.
Han pegede på, at hvis produktiviteten i EU-15 var 100, så er den nu i EU-25 faldet til 93, medens den i USA er på 121, hvilket giver USA en konkurrencefordel .
On labour productivity, he said that, given the old EU-15 as a base of 100, the enlarged EU would be 93, and the USA 121.
Samtidig ældes den europæiske befolkning.
He also highlighted the issue of an ageing population and the comparative lack of investment into research and development.
I EU udnytter man ikke de ældres erfaring tilstrækkeligt, og vi må her bestræbe os på at indhente USA.
He called for measures to boost entrepreneurship including " fairer " taxation systems.
Vi skal fremme iværksætterånden og være mere initiativrige og skabe et enkelt og retfærdigt skattesystem.
On the Stability and Growth Pact, he called for more flexibility, while adhering to the key principals of reducing public sector debt.
Vi skal fremover lægge vægt på fleksibilitet, personligt ansvar og mindske bureaukratiet .
The challenge now, he said, lay with the Member States to implement the Lisbon Strategy.
Endvidere skal vi have en socialpolitik med solidaritet, sluttede Hans-Gert Pöttering.
Martin SCHULZ (PES, DE) stated that the EU would be judged over the next five years by to what extent the Lisbon goals would be reached.
Han var glad for, at var nået frem til en bred kompromistekst , som kunne støttes af de fleste.
All people, young and old, should be included within the Lisbon Strategy.
Schulz understregede, at "Lissabon" ikke må sænke niveauet i den europæiske sociale model, men at man bør fremme beskæftigelsen og forbedre de sociale rammebetingelser .
He stated that the period of peace-building as the EU's ultimate goal was over, and now the EU's primary objective should be to build a competitive economic and social model.
"Lissabon-person" i regeringerne!
He stated that neither the left or the right had come to grips with the goal of attracting inward investment into the EU.
Formanden for den liberale gruppe, skotten Graham WATSON lagde vægt på, at medlemslandene i deres regering udpeger en person, som har ansvaret for "Lissabon-strategien".
The role of government was key, he said, and this is why the ALDE group could support the REACH proposals, but could not support the current software patents proposals.
Vi skal skabe nye kvalitetsjobs og tiltrække kapital til nye investeringer, ellers taber vi kampen.
Mr Watson too welcomed a new services directive, although he said, " changes would be needed ."
Den italienske grønne Monica FRASSONI var glad for, at miljømålene var blevet integreret i "Lissabon-strategien".
There were some contradictory points in the draft, including the ultimate goal of "having as low tax as possible".
EU skal skabe en merværdi ved investeringer i vækst, vedvarende energi og infrastruktur.
The Lisbon Strategy would be judged in the coming months on three key areas: REACH, the services directive and the software patents directive.
Frassoni mente, at Bolkestein-direktivet bør trækkes tilbage, ligesom vi ikke bare kan sænke skatterne, og dermed skabe "social dumping"
Mrs Frassoni questioned whether the mid-term review was simply a return to " Thatcherism " or something more profound.
Han satte spørgsmålstegn ved de liberale dogmer og mente, at vi har nået det øvre grænse for liberalismen .
The gap between the objectives and what had been achieved should call into question the liberal dogma.
Den tidligere danske statsminister, socialdemokraten Poul NYRUP RASMUSSEN var glad for den positive modtagelse resolutionsforslaget havde fået.
Lars WOHLIN (SE) spoke for the Independence and Democracy Group, arguing that the Lisbon strategy should be funded and run through projects at Member States level rather than by the EU.
Forbedring af konkurrenceevnen, sociale reformer og miljøreformer skal gennemføres samtidigt.
There should be less EU legislation and more gentlemen's agreements between Member States, he said.
Vi i Skandinavien har vist, at det kan lade sig gøre.
Cristiana MUSCARDINI (IT), for the UEN group, said radical change was required if there was to be success in meeting the Lisbon goals.
Poul Nyrup understregede, at der er brug for reformer og investeringer i mennesker i de kommende 5 år.
It would be short-sighted not to make the profound changes needed in reaction to globalisation.
Den socialdemokratiske gruppe er ikke imod fleksibilitet, og når mennesker bevæger sig fra et job til et andet, så skal det ske i social tryghed .
Simply putting plans on paper did not make them a reality - and basing an economy purely on consumerism was not right.
Vi kan lave en "new deal", hvor vi sikrer arbejdstagernes tryghed, og hver gang vi mister 1.000 jobs, så skal vi skabe 1.500 nye.
The objectives should be pursued in a way which also helped developing countries.
Vi har brug for større efterspørgsel i Europa, og uden vækst er der ingen forståelse blandt borgerne for reformer.
Leopold RUTOWICZ (PL), a non-attached MEP, said Lisbon was intended to guarantee growth and jobs while keeping the cost of essential services low for people on low incomes.

Procedure: Den ikke-lovgivningsmæssige procedure
There was, he said, real panic in federalist positions.
I 2004 fremlagde EU-Kommissionen en meddelelse med titlen: "Videnskab og teknologi, nøglen til Europas fremtid - Retningslinjer for EU's politik til støtte af forskning" ( KOM(2004) 353 ).
Malcolm HARBOUR (EPP-ED, UK) recalled one of his first speeches in Parliament had been on the original Lisbon strategy, which had put completion of the internal market way down the list of priorities.
Man understreger, at "det europæiske forskningsområde" - ERA - kun kan realiseres, hvis en stadig større del af finansieringen til forskning forvaltes på europæisk plan.
"If every small and medium-sized company in the EU took on just one extra person, we would meet the targets on jobs," he said.
Fordobling af forskningsmidler?
Gary TITLEY (PES, UK) said jobs had to be at the core of the Lisbon strategy.
