Tirsdag den 16. december 2003 mødte 4 EU-kommissærer op i Strasbourg i EP's udvalg om borgernes frihedsrettigheder, hvor de fremlagde detaljerne omkring den netop indgåede aftale mellem EU-Kommissionen og USA om udlevering af flypassagerers personlige data til de amerikanske myndigheder i forbindelse med flyvninger fra EU-lande til USA .
However, according to the rapporteur this was too soon given the consequences for the companies and their need for time to adjust.
Kravet er kommet fra USA efter det frygtelige terrorangreb på World Trade Center den 11. september 2001 - hvor ca. 3.000 mennesker blev dræbt .
"In the EU around 250,000 passengers are denied boarding every year and cancellations are even more frequent.
Amerikanerne ser kravet om udlevering af flypassagerers personlige data som et led i bekæmpelsen af terrorisme .
Airlines will face serious financial consequences and they require a little time to prepare" , said Mr Lisi.
Den hollandske EU-kommissær Frits BOLKESTEIN sagde i tirsdags i EP-udvalget, at "I dag har Kommissionen anvendt sin politiske dømmekraft og besluttet at bringe skred i tingene".
Other modes of transport Lastly, the Commission has been asked to make proposals to extend these passenger protection measures to modes of transport other than air, notably rail and sea transport.
Han oplyste, at forhandlingerne på ingen måde havde været nemme, men amerikanerne havde givet en række indrømmelser.
"Thanks to this new legislation, passengers will no longer be left to their fate in airports but will be compensated and, if necessary, provided with accommodation" , he said .
Hovedpunkterne i aftalen er:
Procedure : Codecision (1st reading)
Flypassagerernes personlige data vil ikke blive anvendt af US CAPPS II-systemet.
Parliament considerably amended Commission proposals on the introduction of electronic road systems in the Community.
USA accepterede til sidst en sikkerhedsklausul i form af en "fælles revision" med EU hvert år .
MEPs felt that these proposals were going too far and too soon and took the view that quality should come before rapidity.
USA er nu rede til at anerkende, at EU's databeskyttelses-myndigheder repræsenterer enhver flypassagers klager til "the Department of Homeland Security".
As the functioning of the system was the most important condition for the introduction of a European toll service, it should not start before 1 January 2007, 2 years later than the Commission had proposed.
Terrorismebekæmpelse Frits Bolkestein bekræftede, at de amerikanske myndigheder har accepteret kun at anvende de personlige data i forbindelse med "terrorisme og dermed forbundne forbrydelser" og "andre alvorlige forbrydelser, herunder organiseret kriminalitet af grænseoverskridende karakter" .
Amendments were adopted in favour of the European satellite navigation system GALILEO; it was argued that by using the new satellite positioning and mobile communication technologies in the context of Galileo the efficiency of transport systems and road safety would be increased.
Forbrydelser begået i ens hjemland er dermed ikke omfattet.
The House also pointed out that it was not up to the Commission to impose certain technologies.
"Proportionalitet" og "balance" Den spanske EU-transportkommissær Loyola de PALACIO understregede, at "nøgleordene bag aftalen er "proportionalitet" og "balance" .
These decisions should be taken by industry, the Member States and other parties concerned.
Den hollandske liberale Johanna BOOGERD-QUAAK mente, at "i øjeblikket befinder vi os i en illegal situation".
Lastly, an electronic toll system was to be applied on the EU's toll road network on a "one contract per customer, one box per vehicle" basis.
Den østrigske PPE'er Hubert PIRKER spurgte, om "disse 34 typer persondata alle tjener til at bekæmpe terrorisme?" og "hvem skal have adgang til disse data?"

Kraftvarme og nyttevarme: Energibesparelser og mindre CO2-emissioner!
Parliament votes for compromise on combined heat and power
Kompromisforslag EP vedtog en betænkning af den tyske socialdemokrat Norbert GLANTE , hvori man accepterer kompromiset mellem EP og Ministerrådet, som indeholder 20 kompromisændringsforslag.
At a second-reading vote on a report by Norbert GLANTE (PES, D), MEPs approved 20 compromise amendments agreed following intensive talks with the Council and designed to avoid Conciliation.
Kompromisændringerne erstatter de ændringsforslag, som EP's industriudvalg vedtog den 2. december.
The compromise amendments replace the amendments adopted by the Industry Committee on 2 December.
Forhandlingerne med Rådet var meget komplicerede, fordi nogle medlemslande, som ikke ønskede direktivet overhovedet, truede med at blokere forhandlingerne.
MEPs heard from the rapporteur that the negotiations with the Council had been very complicated, because some Member States, who did not want a directive at all, were threatening to block negotiations.
EP gjorde flere væsentlige indrømmelser, således at direktivet kunne vedtages før EP-valget i juni 2004.
Parliament, however, made major concessions so that the directive could be adopted before the EP elections in June 2004, thus enabling a framework to be put in place for the development of a cogeneration policy and putting CHP on the political agenda in Europe.
Bindende målsætninger: 18 %!
Definition of CHP and micro-cogeneration
Man foreslår, at kraftvarmeproduktionens andel inden 2012 skal være øget til 18 % .
The advantages, as compared to "separate generation", are energy savings and reduced CO2 emissions.
Desuden skal medlemsstaterne oplyse Kommissionen om deres nationale mål for årene 2015 og 2020.
The draft directive lays the basis for a common understanding and harmonised definition of CHP.
Endelig vil EP stramme op på tidsplanen for direktivets gennemførelse.
Parliament and Council also agreed that the Commission will, if necessary, submit proposals for further harmonisation of calculation methods.
Man mener, at det er nødvendigt at foretage gentagen resultatkontrol med regelmæssige mellemrum, hvis målsætningerne skal virkeliggøres i praksis.
The Commission will finalise the analysis, and if necessary, submit an action plan to develop cogeneration further.
Decentraliseret samarbejde i u-landene: Ny finansieringsramme og forlængelse
EC-USA scientific cooperation
Ordfører: Jürgen ZIMMERLING (PPE-DE, D)
Luis BERENGUER FUSTER (PES, E)
I en forordning fra 1999 blev der skabt en finansieringsramme til at støtte tiltag og initiativer iværksat af aktører i decentraliseret samarbejde til fordel for og i ulandene.
Parliament adopted a non-binding resolution approving the renewal of the EC-USA agreement on scientific and technical cooperation.
Deltagere i decentraliseret samarbejde - der kan opnå finansiel bistand - kan bl.a. være lokale myndigheder og alle ikke-statslige aktører (NGO'er) .

Measuring Instruments
EU's rolle i konfliktforebyggelsen i Afrika
Giles Bryan CHICHESTER (EPP-ED, South West)
Procedure: Den ikke-lovgivningsmæssige proce dure
Procedure : Codecision (2nd reading)
Beslutningsforslaget omhandler særligt gennemførelsen af Linas-Marcoussis-aftalen i Côte d'Ivoire (Elfenbenskysten).
Parliament adopted a series of amendments some of which agreed in advance with Council on legislation relating to measuring instruments.
EP understreger, at konflikten i Côte d'Ivoire ikke blot skyldes den etniske faktor , men at den derimod har dybe og mangeartede rødder såsom fattigdom, ulige fordeling af landets rigdomme, social uretfærdighed, krænkelser af menneskerettighederne og statens organisatoriske sammenbrud.
The vote in second-reading should avoid the need for conciliation.
Endvidere er EP bekymret over, at konflikten ikke har kunnet finde en fredelig løsning og at Linas-Marcoussis-aftalen dermed ikke er trådt i kraft .
Press enquiries: Richard Freedman (Strasbourg) tel.(33-3) 881 73785 (Brussels) tel.(32-2) 28 41448 e-mail : indu-press@europarl.eu.int
EP glæder sig imidlertid over, at EU via sit formandskab har bekræftet, at man er indstillet på at støtte genforeningen og genopbygningen af Côte d'Ivoire med alle midler .
Report n the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council extending and amending Council Regulation (EC) No 1659/98 on decentralised cooperation
EP vedtog med 373 stemmer for, 32 imod, medens 29 undlod at stemme, et fælles beslutningsforslag om at fortsætte våbenembargoen mod Kina.
Parliament adopted a series of amendments to the Commission's proposal on a funding instrument for decentralised cooperation.
Efter massakren på Den Himmelske Freds Plads i Beijing i 1989 , indførte det daværende EF våbenembargo over for Kina.
The current regulation, which provides a framework for direct funding of projects run by non-governmental organisations and local authorities in developing countries, expires at the end of 2003.
På sidste weekends topmøde i Bruxelles vedtog Rådet, at det skal overvejes, hvorvidt embargoen skal ophæves.
The Commission is proposing to extend the regulation for a further three years.
EP konstaterer samtidig, at der ikke er gjort væsentlige fremskridt i den menneskerettighedspolitiske dialog mellem EU og Kina.
One amendment adds the explicit objective of strengthening organisations campaigning for sustainable development, human rights, in particular social rights, and democratisation.
Taiwan EP understreger, at Kina må dokumentere, at landet har gjort væsentlige fremskridt på menneskerettighedsområdet, før EU kan overveje at ophæve embargoen.
The MEPs are disappointed, however, that the Commission's proposal failed to include indigenous and cultural organisations in list of possible beneficiaries, these having been added by the Parliament the last time the instrument was extended.
Ligeledes mener EP, at det - i betragtning af de kinesiske trusler mod Taiwan - ikke er hensigtsmæssigt at åbne mulighed for en ophævelse af den europæiske våbenembargo.
Finally, the House is concerned that the Commission has presented its assessment of the previous period and extension proposal so late in the day.
Endelig opfordrer EP Rådet og medlemsstaterne samt tiltrædelses- og ansøgerlandene til at opretholde EU's våbenembargo over for Kina.
An amendment was therefore adopted which replaces the Commission's proposal to report on the operations by the end of 2006, with a requirement to present its overall assessment eight months before the expiry of the regulation.
For tidligt at ophæve embargo Ole ANDREASEN fra Venstre sagde under onsdagens forhandling, at tiden ikke er inde til at ophæve embargoen mod Kina, da der stadig er "grund til stor bekymring over den kinesiske mangel på forståelse af menneskerettighederne og retsstaten."
Again, this repeats the provision inserted by the Parliament at the time of the previous extension.

Changes to Antarctic fishing rules
Problemet er, hvad man stiller op med kulturgoder, hvortil ejendomsretten sandsynligvis vil blive bestridt.
Struan STEVENSON (EPP-ED, Scotland)
På trods af, at det er almindeligt anerkendt, at der er ulovligt erhvervede kulturgoder i omløb, har det ofte vist sig vanskeligt for private fordringshavere at få deres ejendom tilbage .
Report on the amended proposal for a Council Regulation laying down certain control measures applicable to fishing activities in the area covered by the Convention on the conservation of Antarctic marine living resources
De nuværende regler beskytter ikke ofrenes rettigheder , når de prøver at få ulovligt erhvervet ejendom tilbageleveret, og de opfylder ikke de målsætninger, der blev opstillet i folkeretten af verdens nationer efter 2.

Support for Georgia essential
EP vedtog et fælles beslutningsforslag om den politiske situation i Georgien.
MEPs adopted a resolution by 61 votes in favour and one against with no abstenstions congratulating the people of Georgia for the peaceful political changes they have recently set in motion.
EP fremhæver, at den georgiske befolkning på fredelig vis har været i stand til at påvirke landets præsidentembede og dermed præsident Eduard Sjevardnadses tilbagetræden den 23. november 2003.
They call on the Council and Commission to support the new Georgian authorities by providing political, financial and technical assistance to stabilise the situation, develop a strategy for reforms and prepare for the general elections.
EP glæder sig især over den bemærkelsesværdige modenhed, som den georgiske befolkning har udvist under den fredelige "rosenrevolution".
Parliament requests the Russian authorities to fulfil their undertaking made in 1999 to close their military bases and withdraw from Russia, while insisting that the Georgian authorities ensure the effective rule of law over the entire territory of Georgia, including the fight against terrorism.
EP fastholder, at de kommende valg i Georgien bør være frie, fair og gennemskuelige og inddrage befolkningen i Abkhasien og Sydossetien og kræver, at EU udviser lederskab ved at fremme fred, stabilitet og økonomisk udvikling i Georgien såvel som i Aserbajdsjan.
In view of the economic collapse of Georgia, Parliament expresses its grave concern for the health and wellbeing of the people Georgia and calls on the Commission to submit proposals for emergency aid for heating, electrical power, food and medicine.
Dødsstraf i Filippinerne
Death sentence in the Philippines
EP vedtog et fælles beslutningsforslag, hvori man opfordrer Filippinerne til at afskaffe dødsstraffen i landet og henviser til, at der i øjeblikket sidder 1000 dødsdømte i de filippinske fængsler.
Parliament calls on the government of the Philippines in any event to enforce the law prohibiting the sentencing of child offenders to death and to review actual cases involving minors to ensure the age of any suspect is clearly established prior to sentencing.
Filippinernes tidligere præsident, Estrada, gennemførte i marts 2004 et moratorium (henstand) for dødsstraf - et moratorium den nuværende præsident har bebudet ophævet fra den 1. januar 2004, hvilket EP er dybt bekymret over.
MEPs also call on the Commission and Council to make full use of items in the EU budget for the promotion of democracy and human rights and to prioritise any initiative aimed at achieving the repeal of the death penalty.
EP beklager kraftigt, at der stadig anvendes dødsstraf i 83 lande og opfordrer i den forbindelse Filippinernes præsident til at ændre sin beslutning om at ophæve det eksisterende moratorium.
They argue that the abolition of the death penalty and a universal moratorium on executions should be an essential element in relations between the EU and third countries.
EP vedtog et fælles beslutningsforslag om situationen i Moldova.
The House adopted a joint resolution calling on the Moldovan government to respect democratic principles, fundamental rights and human rights, and intensify the process of economic and social reform, including the further development and implementation of anti-corruption measures.
EP henviser bl.a. til, at Moldovas økonomi er præget af udstrakt korruption , hvilket er en følge af, at forvaltningsapparatet er underudviklet, og at der ikke føres effektiv demokratisk kontrol med administrationen.
MEPs consider that the Moldovan government has not been able to stabilise the economy and establish greater democracy and is convinced that a rapid solution of the Transnistrian conflict would contribute considerably to the stabilisation of Moldova's economy and also strengthen democracy.
EP konstaterer, at den moldoviske regering ikke har været i stand til at stabilisere økonomien og skabe mere demokratiske tilstande.
MEPs urge the Moldovan government to combat, through effective law enforcement, trafficking in human beings for sexual exploitation, especially women and children.
EP er bekymret over, at særligt den selvstyrende provins, Transdnjestr - der løsrev sig fra Moldova i 1992 - er præget af en dybt rodfæstet sort økonomi og manglende respekt for grundlæggende rettigheder og menneskerettigheder.
The House supports the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Moldova as the basis for any peaceful solution to the conflict.

Rådets formandskab
Presidency of the Council
Ahern fremhævede samtidig, at det er centralt, at der forefindes en kollektiv politisk vilje , hvis EU's nye forfatningstraktat skal blive en realitet under det irske formandskab.
He said that he had heard the Parliament's message of support for a speedy and successful outcome to the IGC and shared that view himself.
Ahern understregede, at man ikke vil acceptere "dødvande i forhandlingerne" , men at det irske formandskab derimod vil tage de nødvendige skridt for at sikre succes.
Mr Ahern assured the Parliament that if his consultations suggested there was a real prospect of agreement, he would immediately move to seize the opportunity.
Udvidelsen: 1. maj i Dublin Ahern sagde, at det er en stor ære for det irske formandskab, at kunne byde de 10 nye medlemslande velkomne ved en ceremoni i Dublin den 1. maj 2004 .
The Irish Presidency, he noted, was beginning in a Union of 15 Member States and would end in a Union of 25.
Ahern understregede også, at det irske formandskab vil arbejde aktivt hen imod en yderligere udvidelse af EU - i første omgang med Rumænien og Bulgarien - og senere med Tyrkiet.
Making enlargement work, he said, was of the greatest possible importance to us.
Bæredygtig vækst og social samhørighed Bertie Ahern sagde, at det er en vigtig prioritet for det irske formandskab, at arbejde hen imod Lissabon-målene om at sikre vækst og beskæftigelse .
Integrating the new Member States and ensuring that the Council continues to function effectively will be a high priority.
Ahern fremhævede, at det er centralt at skabe flere og bedre arbejdspladser i EU , og at det er nødvendigt at opnå reelle fremskridt på dette område.
He added that the Presidency would be working in relation to Romania and Bulgaria with the aim of concluding negotiations by the end of the year.
Ahern roste de igangværende reformer, der finder sted i medlemsstaterne, men understregede samtidig, at det er nødvendigt at der gennemføres yderligere reformer , hvis målene i Lissabon-strategien skal indfries.
Mr Ahern also welcomed Turkey's efforts to fulfil the necessary criteria with a view to a decision being taken in December.
I den forbindelse foreslog Ahern, at der gennemføres en midtvejsevaluering af Lissabon-strategien i 2005 - 5 år før samtlige mål skal være opfyldt.
He welcomed the recent signs of progress in Cyprus, hoping that the accession would provide the context for a comprehensive settlement based on the UN Secretary General's proposals - before 1st May.
Internationalt samarbejde Ahern lagde også vægt på, at EU skal udbygge samarbejdet på det kriminalretlige område særligt med henblik på at bekæmpe illegal indvandring og narkokriminalitet.
On the Lisbon Agenda to make Europe the most competitive and dynamic knowledge based economy in the world by 2010, Mr Ahern listed a range of goals already achieved: advances in research and development, financial services, liberalisation of energy markets, telecommunications, environmental protection and regulatory reform.
Endvidere understregede han, at EU skal samarbejde tæt med FN for at forebygge internationale konflikter og forhindre spredningen af masseødelæggelsesvåben.
However, he said that without increasing momentum the 2010 target would be missed.
USA og Mellemøsten Det irske formandskab vil ligeledes arbejde aktivt for at forbedre og udbygge forholdet til og samarbejdet med USA , da EU og USA deler fælles mål og værdier.
"Maintaining the status quo will not improve Europe's economic standing, competitiveness or employment rates.
Ahern fremhævede, at formandskabet vil fortsætte fredsprocessen i Mellemøsten i overensstemmelse med "Road-map for fred".
I intend that the Spring European Council will have a real debate on the most pressing economic and social challenges facing Europe," he said.
Rusland og Afrika Ahern understregede, at samarbejdet med Rusland skal udvides for at sikre fred, sikkerhed og stabilitet.
He highlighted the need to develop the services sector as a key motor of growth and job creation.
I den forbindelse fremhævede han den positive rolle NGO'er og det civile samfund kan spille.
Perhaps the greatest challenge facing Europe was the pressing need to create more and better employment.
