EU bør tiltrække de bedste hjerner, og vi bør lokke vore unge tibage fra USA, ellers vil vi mangle friske unge hjerner, fastslog Prodi.
As far as Iraq was concerned, he did say the aim of the Presidency was to secure a common position between EU Member States and the issue would be on the agenda of the General Affairs Council meeting on 27 January.
Akropolis 16. april: Symbolsk!
He did not take the view that military intervention was inevitable.
PPE-gruppen ønsker en europæisk forfatning og et europæiske demokrati, der er gennemsigtigt, og Konventet skal afslutte sit arbejde inden Thessaloniki-topmødet i juni.
Later in the Spring, the future of defence policy and in particular weapons procurement would also be on the Council's agenda.
"Økonomisk lokomotiv" Formanden for socialistgruppen, spanieren Enrique BARÓN pegede også på det symbolske i Akropolis -topmødet, hvor Grækenlands demokrati har sin vugge , og han mindede om, at OL afholdes i Athen i 2004.
On the question of CAP reform he said the aim was to concentrate resources on helping Europe's small farmers.
Han understregede, at grækerne burde udvise mod og smidighed omkring Tyrkiet, og håbede på, at EU kunne blive et "økonomisk lokomotiv" gennem "Lissabon-processen".
Returning to the theme of a "brain-drain" President Prodi, in his response to the debate, said that the EU's current programmes such as "Erasmus World", due to limited financing, had had a minimal affect and new structures should be developed.
Den liberale gruppe støtter således en kampagne i ansøgerlandene.
Professor Nikiforis DIAMANDOUROS elected as new European Ombudsman
Hun støttede det græske formandskabs program om beskæftigelse og økonomisk politik, men nu får vi se, hvad der konkret kommer ud af det.
In the second round of voting Mr Diamandouros received 294 votes out of 535 Members who voted.
Den franske grønne Daniel COHN-BENDIT sagde, at vi ikke har nogen beviser på, at Saddam Hussein har oprustet og igen er aggressiv, og EU må nu vise sin vilje til at forhindre en Irak-krig.
The British candidate and current MEP Roy Perry was the only other candidate in the second round and he received 215 votes.
Cohn-Bendit sagde, at dem der har atomvåben forhandler vi med, medens vi tæver dem der ikke har (Irak) - og det er helt gak!
The vote was held by secret ballot on the basis of a majority of the votes cast.
Ireren Gerard COLLINS fra UEN-gruppen mente, at en Irak-krig kan kaste skygge over hele det græske formandskab og Konventets arbejde, som skal ligge færdigt i Thessaloniki.
Speaking after the vote, Roy Perry called for the Code of Good Administrative Behaviour to be adopted swiftly by all the EU institutions.
Bonde foreslog grækerne at åbne alle Rådsmøder, give fuld aktindsigt, åbne mødereferater, åbne postlister fra Rådet.
The responsibilities of the European Ombudsman are considerable.
Bevar de skiftende formandskaber, hold EU og militæret adskilt og gennemfør en landbrugs- og budgetreform, foreslog Bonde.
It is by means of the European Ombudsman that European citizens are able to gain redress when examples of maladministration occur within the European Union Institutions or bodies.
Ny EU-ombudsmand efter Jacob Söderman:Den græske ombudsmand Diamandouros
Mr Diamandouros will replace the current incumbent of the office of Ombudsman, Mr Jacob SÖDERMAN who is retiring.
Tirsdag den 14. januar 2002 holdt EP sin første afstemning om valget af en ny EU-ombudsmand efter finnen Jacob Söderman.
Mr Söderman was elected the first European Ombudsman in June 1995 and re-elected in 1999.
Da ingen af de 5 kandidater opnåede et flertal af de afgivne stemmer, var det nødvendigt med en anden valgrunde onsdag den 15. januar efter afstemningerne midt på dagen.
Mr Diamandouros will serve until the end of the current parliamentary term in 2004 and one of his first duties will be to take an oath before the European Court of Justice.
Den 1. valgrunde gav følgende resultat:
CANDIDATES BY SURNAME IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER
Efter at 3 af kandidaterne til valget til EU-ombudsmand havde trukket deres kandidatur tilbage efter 1. valgrunde valgte Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg onsdag den 15. januar 2003 den græske ombudsmand Nikiforos DIAMANDOUROS til ny EU-ombudsmand.
OF VOTES IN SECOND ROUND (15.1.2003)
Diamandouros er flydende i græsk, engelsk, fransk og italiensk.

Den ”2. jernbanepakke”: Modernisering og liberalisering
The six Members acting as tellers supervising the vote were: Ieke van den BURG, Jutta D. HAUG, Martine ROURE, W.G. van VELZEN, Íñigo MÉNDEZ DE VIGO and Marco PANNELLA.
Ordførere: Georg JARZEMBOWSKI (PPE-DE, D), Dirk STERCKX (ELDR, B), Sylviane AINARDI (GUE/NGL, F), Gilles SAVARY (PSE, F)
He received his B.A. degree from Indiana University (1963) and his M.A. (1965), M.Phil (1969), and Ph.D (1972) degrees from Columbia University.
- Forslag til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv om ændring af Rådets direktiv 91/440/EØF om udvikling af Fællesskabets jernbaner
Prior to joining the faculty of the University of Athens in 1988, he held teaching and research appointments at the State University of New York and Columbia University respectively (1973-78).
Procedure: Den fælles beslutningsprocedure – Førstebehandling)
Procedure : Codecision procedure (3rd reading)
I betænkningen af den tyske CDU'er Georg JARZEMBOWSKI godkender EP - med en række ændringsforslag - Kommissionens forslag om at skabe et indre marked for EU's jernbanetransport.
This will be followed by a complete ban six years after the directive enters into force, thereby ending the use of animals in the testing of cosmetic products but without jeopardising consumer safety since alternative ways of testing will have to be developed in the transition period to replace animal testing.
Det skal bl.a. ske gennem åbning af de nationale og de internationale markeder for jernbanegodstransport.
A test and marketing ban will come into effect six years after the entry into force of the directive, i.e. 2009, for the large majority of tests;
Forsinkelser og tidsspilde I en anden betænkning af den belgiske liberale Dirk STERCKX støtter EP - dog med en lang række ændringsforslag - Kommissionens direktivforslag om jernbanesikkerhed i EU og om udstedelse af jernbanelicenser.
With regard to aid, the House wants the Commission and the wider donor community to continue to co-operate with the Afghan Government to promote rapid progress in the areas of health and education, to implement assistance in all fields in order to achieve rapidly tangible progress and in order to make sure that assistance does not benefit regional leaders rather than the population in need.
I en tredje betænkning af den franske GUE'er Sylviane AINARDI godkender EP - med en række ændringsforslag - et direktivforslag fra Kommissionen om interoperabilitet i det transeuropæiske jernbanesystem.
The House calls on the Member States to actively contribute to the training of a national Afghan army and police force and to the rebuilding of the judicial system and of a legal framework for effective human rights protection and for the improvement of women's conditions and calls in particular on the Commission to extend its cooperation to the Afghan Human Rights Commission.
Baggrunden er, at der er meget forskellige normer i de enkelte EU-lande, hvilket fører til forsinkelser, tidsspilde og spild af penge, hver gang man krydser en landegrænse.
The House also calls for a well-co-ordinated programme of mine action, including assistance to mine victims, to be put in place as a matter of urgency.
I december 2000 tog man med vedtagelsen af den "første jernbanepakke" det første skridt til den nødvendige modernisering af den europæiske jernbanetransport.
Afghanistan, he said, would have to work closely with the IMF, and the Minister outlined that funding would be based on the full implementation of the Bonn Agreement.
Tirsdag den 14. januar 2002 diskuterede Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg Kommissionen forslag til den "anden jernbanepakke".
In all, the EU contribution amounted to €230-240m over the year as part of the EU's €1bn share of the $1.8bn in international aid pledged over a five-year period.
Den "2. jernbanepakke" består af 5 forslag:
Nevertheless, he took the view that future developments were at a crucial phase and, as he put it, there was only a "limited" window of opportunity.
etablering af et indre marked for jernbanegodstransport,
For the future, he looked forward to the elections scheduled for the middle of next year and, in this context, a successful transition to democracy depended on the effective establishment of an independent human rights commission and indeed putting in place a new constitution guaranteeing equal rights for all.
udvikling af en fælles tilgang til jernbanesikkerhed,
The Commissioner concluded by reminding MEPs of the long term programme needed to establish the country on a firm footing, especially with regard to putting in place a workable education and health system.
supplering af grundprincipperne for interoperabilitet,
Warning against complacency, he looked forward to support from the House for future action.
oprettelse af det Europæiske Jernbaneagentur og
He recounted personal visits to Afghanistan in which he had seen evidence of real progress on the ground and aid work in action.
EU's tiltrædelse af OTIF (den Mellemstatslige Organisation for Internationale Jernbanebefordringer).
For the PES, Margrietus van den BERG (PES, NL) too welcomed the successes achieved by the international community united in its efforts and felt it could serve as a good example for other regions such as Iraq.
Vi skal have moderne kundeorienterede private jernbaneselskaber i stedet for de nationale monopoler.
Jan Joost LAGENDIJK (NL), for the Greens/EFA group, also stressed the lack of improvement in the situation of women in Afghanistan.
Rack pegede på, at det østrigske jernbaneselskab er det eneste, der har øget sin markedsandel.
Eurig WYN (Greens/EFA, Wales) cautioned that outside Kabul many of the Afghan regions were under the control of warlords.
I mange år har investeringerne og serviceniveauet været for dårligt for de europæiske jernbaner.
Furthermore, while he could support the US action to track down Al-Quaida, he feared that the real US strategy was to seek access to oil from both the Caspian Sea and in Iraq.
Miljøvenlige jernbaner!
So much for democracy, he concluded.
Den finske liberale Samuli POHJAMO understregede, at det er nødvendigt med mere konkurrence , større interoperabilitet samt fælles sikkerhedsregler for jernbanerne.
His other concern was the large number of land mines still in Afghanistan which, he said, posed a major threat to the long term reconstruction of the country and called for a new strategy, with the Commission playing a key role to deal with this threat.
Den hollandske GUE'er Erik MEIJER pegede på, at jernbanerne er mere miljøvenlige og beklagede derfor, at alt for meget gods transporteres via landevejene.
He pointed out that, while seemingly enormous sums of aid had been donated to the area on a per capita basis, this only amounted to $75 for each Afghan citizen as against $250 per citizen in the Balkans.
Den belgiske grønne Jan DHAENE fastslog, at liberaliseringen ikke er et mål i sig selv , og at liberaliseringen bl.a. har ført til nedlæggelsen af natforbindelsen mellem Bruxelles og Milano , hvilket er beklageligt.
He too felt there was no room for complacency and, while recognising progress in the move towards democracy and elections next year, he was another speaker to warn of the threat posed by the warlords and discrimination faced by women.
Endvidere kritiserede han den dårlige togforbindelse mellem Bruxelles og Strasbourg.
He commented that this would be a long process and the balance between short-term aid and long-term reconstruction should be reached.
Den franske løsgænger Bruno GOLLNISCH pegede på, at den enorme landevejstrafik medfører, at tusindvis af mennesker dør på vore landeveje , og at der er alt for mange trafikpropper pga. de mange lastbiler.
As to the effective co-ordination of aid between the various agencies, new structures were now in place to improve matters here and he undertook to examine progress on his next visit to the country in March.

EP vedtog en betænkning af den britiske liberale Nicholas CLEGG, hvori man støtter et forslag fra EU-Kommissionen om at "genskabe våbenbalancen" mellem EU og vore vigtigste konkurrenter inden for luftfarten.
According to a report by the UN Food and Agricultural Organisation, it is now estimated that 13.2 million people out of 23.2 million in North Korea are malnourished.
Baggrunden er, at der foregår en illoyal priskonkurrence fra ikke-EU-luftfartsselskabers side, som medfører en konkurrencefordrejning til ugunst for EU's luftfartsselskaber.
Finally, Parliament renewed its invitation to the Supreme People's Assemblies to send a high level delegation to the European Parliament so that food and humanitarian issues may be addressed.

EP vedtog en betænkning af den franske socialist Marie-Arlette CARLOTTI om humanitær bistand under ECHO i 2000 og 2001, hvor man brugte henholdsvis 492 og 544 mio. euro til finansiering af humanitære projekter i tredjelande.
In adopting a joint resolution on the non-prolongation of the OSCE mandate in Chechnya, Parliament expresses its deep disappointment over the failure to renew the mandate of the OSCE assistance group for Chechnya which expired on 31 December 2002.
479 stemte for, 4 imod, medens 10 undlod at stemme.
Finally, the House calls on the Russian Government to secure the early release of Mr Erkel, a humanitarian Médecins Sans Frontières worker who remains kidnapped in the region.

The Role of the Regions in the EU of the future
Ordfører: Helmuth MARKOV (GUE/NGL, D)
Giorgio NAPOLITANO (PES, I)
Procedure: Den fælles beslutningsprocedure - førstebehandling (***I)
Procedure : Own-initiative report
EP vedtog en række ændringer til Kommissionens forslag, og ved den endelige afstemning blev det ændrede Kommissionsforslag vedtaget med 405 stemmer mod 79, medens 60 undlod at stemme.
There is a call on the Commission, when drafting legislation and devising EU policies, to involve in the process, on a full and regular basis, those who are required to implement these laws and policies.
Under debatten sagde Freddy BLAK , at jobbet som chauffør er et af de hårdeste og mest belastende , og Markovs forslag til nye, enkle regler, der er lettere at forstå, gør arbejdsbyrden lettere.
Opening this evening's debate, Constitutional Affairs Committee Chairman, Giorgio NAPOLITANO (PES, I), underlined the importance of decentralisation in a wider EU post- enlargement.
De nye enkle regler betyder, at ingen kan være i tvivl om, hvornår og hvor længe chaufførerne skal holde hvil.
Indeed, developments on this front, under the guise of subsidiarity, had been taking place over the last few years and he felt now was an appropriate time to assess plans for the future.
Politiet får et lettere arbejde med at kontrollere, at reglerne bliver overholdt.
It was vital, he said, for regions to be involved in EU programmes at the preparatory phase.
Freddy Blak håbede, at politiet også ville øge kontrollen .
The question to be considered now was how this should be put in the new constitutional framework.
Hun understregede, at det er vigtigt, at begrebet køretid defineres, som den tid hjulene ruller , og at der ikke sker en sammenblanding med reglerne for arbejdstid for chauffører.
As to the controversial question as to whether regional authorities should be allowed to take cases to the Court of Justice when subsidiarity or local issues were at stake, Mr Barnier recognised concern here but did not feel that this would be a realistic approach.
Kvaliteten af et hvil er ikke nødvendigvis afhængig af hvilets længde, det er også vigtigt, at chaufføren har mulighed for selv at tilrettelægge sin hviletid – og vælge stedet for sit hvil.
For the Women's Committee, Christa KLASS (EPP-ED, D) underlined the importance of the regions in ensuring equality as far as EU policies and legislation were concerned.
Afghanistan:Bonn-aftalen skal gennemføres
For the EPP/ED Iñigo MÉNDEZ DE VIGO (E) too emphasised the important role played by the regions, especially in the context of fostering cross-border co-operation.
Forslag til beslutning
Now was an important time for the Convention to consider in detail the role of the regions.
Onsdag den 15. januar 2003 holdt Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg en debat om situationen i Afghanistan et år efter Bonn-aftalen, som er udgangspunktet for genopbygningen af Afghanistan.
For the PES, Richard CORBETT (Yorkshire and the Humber) underlined the importance of the EU as a group of citizens and not just Member States.
Alle talere var enige om, at der er sket betydelige fremskridt i Afghanistan, men der mangler stadig meget før landet kommer til at fungere "normalt" politisk, økonomisk og med hensyn til demokrati og menneskerettigheder.
In this sense the regions played an important role, not only in enforcing legislation, especially in the environmental area but in some cases in transposing laws into practice.
Efter EP's debat om situationen i Afghanistan vedtog EP en beslutning, hvori man understreger, at det internationale samfund skal yde den nødvendige støtte til genopbygning af de politiske, retslige og sikkerhedsmæssige institutioner, der er en forudsætning for at genetablere regeringens autoritet og retsstaten.
He too recognised the dilemma over whether regional authorities should be able to go to the Court of Justice, and his compromise was to allow this via the national governments or the Committee of the Regions.
EP vedtog beslutningen med 257 stemmer mod 22, medens 9 undlod at stemme.
For the Liberals, Andrew DUFF (ELDR, Eastern) too emphasised the importance of the regions in playing a key role in EU affairs, especially by providing a direct link to the citizen.
Det lave stemmetal skyldtes, at en del MEP'er havde forladt deres stemmebord for at gå til valgurnerne til valg af ny EU-ombudsmand.
In this sense, he supported a decentralised federal approach to EU government, although he recognised the dilemma of whether or not regional authorities should be able to pursue issues before the Court of Justice.
Den græske Europaminister Tassos YIANNITSIS fastslog i sit indlæg, at Bonn-aftalen er fundamentet for dannelsen af en ny afghansk stat.
Seán Ó NEACHTAIN (Connacht/Ulster), for the UEN group, also emphasised the importance of local and regional governments.
Man har nået en række fremskridt som valget af en præsident, oprettelsen af en midlertidig regering, oprettelsen af en uafhængig menneskerettighedskommission, oprettelsen af en centralbank, oprettelsen af en forløber til en forfatningskommission m.m.
He recalled that it was often these levels of government that were responsible for implementation of EU legislation, particularly environmental legislation.
Folkelig skuffelse?
He also welcomed the inclusion of lesser-used languages in the draft resolution.
Yiannitsis understregede, at det er vigtigt, at der sker stadige forbedringer i Afghanistan, for ellers opstår der folkelig skuffelse, hvorved den midlertidige regering vil miste folkets støtte.
Graham BOOTH (UK), for the EDD group, in his maiden speech to Parliament stated that many people in his constituency considered their identity primarily on a county basis and rejected any notion of a "south-west region."
i Tokyo besluttede en række donorlande at yde finansiel støtte på 1,2 mia. $ ,
Procedure : Own-initiative report
landet har fået en valuta ,
274 MEPs voted in favour, 269 against, with 14 abstentions.
EU har ydet en imponerende indsat og brugt 275 mio. euro til opbygning af Afghanistan m.m.
By adopting this resolution, Parliament did not give its support to an alternative resolution by the UEN group.
240 mio. euro i 2003 Chris Patten understregede, at fremskridtene skal konsolideres i 2003 , hvor EU regner med en støtte på 230-240 mio. euro til Afghanistan - og over en 5-årig periode vil man bruge langt over 1 mia. euro.
In its resolution Parliament emphasised misconduct by law enforcement officers, shortcomings in the administration of justice and discrimination of all kinds.
Succes i Afghanistan i 2003 afhænger af
The report, which was set up on the basis of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, also flagged up problems in the area of social affairs and in the implementation of the Charter.
indre sikkerhed i landet, hvor hjælpeorganisationer bør kunne arbejde uden frygt,
Throughout the report, Member States were mentioned by name where they were considered to have failed in the safeguarding of fundamental rights.
respekt for menneskerettighederne og
Parliament noted with concern that misconduct by law enforcement officers as well as atrocious conditions in prisons and police stations have been recurring themes in human rights reports in virtually all Member States.
sikring af langsigtet finansiel støtte fra donorlandene.
It called on the EU Member States to step up their efforts in this area.
Skrøbelig status Under ordførerrunden sagde den franske PPE'er Philippe MORILLON , at der er sket betydelige fremskridt med gennemførelsen af Bonn-aftalen, men der mangler stadig meget.
Especially, Parliament asked for all cases of abuse and, in particular, deaths of persons held in custody in police stations or prisons, to be thoroughly investigated and for the perpetrators to be punished (am.5).
Det er vigtigt, at vi sikrer den midlertidige regerings skrøbelige status, og man bør fortsætte kampen mod terrorismen, som ikke er vundet endnu.
For example, Convention 29 concerning forced labour is violated by Germany, France, Austria and the United Kingdom through their domestic rules on work by prisoners.
Internationale opmærksomhed Den hollandske socialist Margrietus van den BERG fastslog, at den internationale opmærksomhed ikke kun bør fokusere på Irak - men også på Afghanistan.
It called on the Member States to recognise the national minorities living in their territory and to guarantee their rights as enshrined in several international Conventions.
Han erkendte, at der er sket forbedringer på menneskerettighedsområdet, men der er stadig en risiko for, at det hele falder på gulvet.
As regards equality between men and women, Parliament called on France to remove the difference in the minimum age for marriage and on all Member States to take effective action against domestic rape.
