EP-beslutningen blev vedtaget med 346 stemmer mod 58 - medens 106 undlod at stemme.
MEPs call on the Council to play its role in promoting the search for a solution to the Cyprus problem.
EP støtter også det italienske kompromisforslag om at udvide afstemninger med kvalificeret flertal inden for EU's udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik .

EP opfordrer regeringskonferencen til ikke at stille spørgsmålstegn ved den "generelle balance" Konventet nåede frem til om finans- og budgetreglerne, og man afviser ethvert forsøg på at svække EP's nuværende budgetbeføjelser, da dette ville være et angreb på EP's "grundlæggende principper - "core principles".
Regarding the Middle East, Parliament calls on the Council and Commission to aim to implement the Quartet's Roadmap, but also to fully support the Geneva Initiative , which MEPs describe as " a concrete and sustainable proposal for achieving peace. "
Under udenrigsministrenes møde i Napoli 28.-29. november 2003 nåede man frem til en række fremskridt på regeringskonferencen, som skal føre frem til en ny EU- forfatningstraktat.
MEPs call for a close eye to be kept on the evolution of the situation in Georgia , with the EU providing all the necessary support to the authorities there in stabilising and rebuilding the institutions.

ligevægt mellem mænd og kvinder,
IGC: MEPs call for a "balanced and positive" result
beskyttelse af minoritetsrettigheder,
They also highlight a number of points which they consider particularly important.
juridisk kontrol med beslutninger truffet i det Europæiske Råd,
There is a margin for compromise on the proposed figures, as long as this respects the principle of the double majority and the lowering of the threshold fixed at Nice.
retslige og indre anliggender - RIA - omkring kvalificeret flertal og hensyntagen til de forskellige nationale retssystemer.
They welcome the Italian presidency's proposals to extend qualified majority voting to the Common Foreign and Security Policy.
enstemmighed omkring udenrigs- skattepolitik og social sikring, hvor nogle lande ikke vil give sig,
It hopes that at least the option of introducing the Legislative Council at a later stage will be maintained.
ændring af flerårige budgetrammer ,
Composition of the Commission
stemmevægte i Ministerrådet.
Amendments calling for a reference to Europe's Judeo-Christian heritage were once again rejected.
Han pegede på følgende områder, hvor der stadig er uenighed og debat:
Progress was made on including a reference to equality between men and women, as well recognising minority rights, the Minister outlined.
nogle lande ønsker flere MEP'er, men det totale antal MEP'er må ikke forøges,
The next Ministerial conference to be held on 8th December would help, he remarked, to resolve some outstanding issues.
Vi skal skabe en strømlinet, fleksibel Kommission, hvor hvert medlemsland har en kommissær med stemmeret og
The Minister stressed that the Member States and accession countries would have to give up their " fair return " principle where every concession was compensated for by another concession.
Nogle lande forsvarer stemmevægtene fra Nice, medens andre ønsker "dobbelt flertal", hvor mindst 50 % af medlemslandene, der repræsenterer mindst 50 % af befolkninger skal stemme for beslutninger i Rådet.
Turning to other subjects on the agenda for the European Council agenda, Minister Antonione stated that the EU's growth initiative would be particularly important and also looked forward to the Heads of State and Government taking positive decisions on transport infrastructure projects with the assistance of capital from the European Investment Bank.
Alle medlemslande skal være lige, og vi bør opgive kravet om en "modydelse" , hver gang vi giver indrømmelser.
The Minister also looked forward to an analysis of the first report of the Employment Task Force chaired by former Dutch Prime Minister Wim KOK .
Han fastslog, at den nye forfatning skal være en succes, og at der ikke er modsætninger mellem nationale og europæiske interesser.
On Justice and Home Affairs, the Minister welcomed the decision to set up a new Agency for Border Management.
Fare for tilbageskridt!
The Minister welcomed progress on a framework directive on fighting the trade in drugs.
Formanden for EU-Kommissionen, italieneren Romano PRODI var enig i, at der står meget på spil under EU-topmødet i Bruxelles 12.-13. december, hvor Konventsmetoden skal stå sin prøve.
Turning to accession negotiations, the Minister looked forward to the accession countries formally joining the Union but cautioned that, in some areas of the " aquis ", there was still more work required.
Og en forfatning - som Europa-Parlamentet ikke kan støtte - er uholdbar.
It was also vital to maintain the institutional balance: the Commission would resist attempts to dilute the European Parliament's budgetary powers - it would not be possible to build support for a Constitution which Parliament would have rejected.
"Undergravende ændringer" Det er nødvendigt, at hvert medlemsland har en kommissær med fuld stemmeret, så Kommissionen kan fungere som et kollegium.
On the make-up of the Commission, Mr Prodi argued that solutions could be found to continue a collegiate approach even with all the Member States represented.
Det vil være retfærdigt med "dobbelt flertal", hvor 50 % af medlemslandene, der repræsenterer 60 % af befolkningerne skal stemme for i Ministerrådet.
Regarding voting in the Council, he argued in favour of a double majority system requiring 50% of the Member States and 50% of the population.
"50 %/50 %" er også godt, men det skal regeringskonferencen afgøre.Beslutningsprocessen må dog ikke blive ringere end Nice, og vi må undgå "undergravende ændringer", fastslog Prodi.
The IGC might even decide on a system that was worse than the Nice one - that was indefensible for the Commission President.
Og den første folkeafstemning om forfatningstraktaten finder i øvrigt sted 6 måneder efter regeringskonferencen.
He reminded MEPs that the first referendums would follow six months after the IGC.
Prodi pegede også på, at det var en alvorlig sag, at Tyskland og Frankrig ikke overholdt reglerne for stabilitetspagten.
Regarding the decisions made in the ECOFIN Council on the Stability and Growth Pact, Mr Prodi said that there were serious procedural concerns.
Derfor skal reglerne overholdes, men man kan debattere, om vi skal have mere "intelligente regler", og der er behov for en dybtgående debat om skattepolitikken og den økonomiske politik.
The Commission would be looking at ways to move forward, he said, to continue its role in applying the rules of the treaties in a way which was equal for all Member States.
Herunder sagde den danske SF'er Pernille FRAHM, at det er paradoksalt, at reglerne om Stabilitetspagten er indeholdt i forfatningstraktaten på et tidspunkt, hvor store lande fritages fra at overholde reglerne (hvorimod små lande skal overholde dem).
The Commission will prepare an initiative to launch a debate on fiscal policy in the wider framework of co-ordination and monitoring of economic policy.
I tråd hermed mente Graham R. WATSON (ELDR, UK), at det er ironisk, at EU står overfor at skulle vedtage en ny forfatningstraktat med nye regler , netop som én af de grundlæggende regler (Stabilitetspagten) brydes.
This would look to make closer links between the budget and the rest of policy, to improve growth potential while respecting the long term stability of government finances, aiming for the Lisbon objectives.
Watson sammenlignede bruddet på stabilitetspagten med den amerikanske regerings negligering af Guantanamo-fangernes rettigheder : et billede på, at de store tryner de små og tilsidesætter de smås rettigheder, som det passer dem.
He concluded with a call for determination and optimism before the Brussels Council to achieve the great objectives that have been set: " If we do that, the Constitution now taking shape will clarify our basic objectives, define the EU's area of action and help make the working of our institutions simpler and more transparent.
I lighed hermed mente Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (PSE, E), at der med Napoli-mødet er opnået fremskridt for et EU-forsvar.
Elmar BROK (EPP-ED, D) thanked the Italian presidency for respecting its pledge to stick as closely as possible to the Convention's text.
Dette kritikpunkt var samtlige ordførere enige i.
I cannot understand how Foreign Ministers should have a problem with the notion of a foreign minister!
Enrique Barón Crespo fremhævede, at der var flere punkter i det italienske formandskabs kompromistekst, der ikke er færdigbehandlede.
Regarding the President for the European Council, we agreed to this on the basis that this would not impinge on the work of other institutions and this must be respected ."
Herunder nævnte han spørgsmålet om EU-Kommissionens sammensætning, og talte for en "fleksibel løsning", der vil medføre, at Kommissionen bliver en "ansvarlig europæisk størrelse" .
Mr Brok was also concerned at the Finance Ministers' proposal to reduce the role of Parliament in budget matters: " This Parliament's main powers are in the budgetary field.
Barón Crespo understregede, at EU under ingen omstændigheder skal "tilbage til Nice".
We cannot vote for a Constitution if this is affected. "
Herunder understregede han, at det er bedre at vente med at vedtage forfatningstraktaten end det er, at fortsætte "komedien fra Nice" .
As to the Commission, he foresaw a more " flexible approach " and did not see the requirement to have one Commissioner per Member State.
Gerard COLLINS (UEN, IRL) var derimod fuld af forhåbning om, at det vil lykkes regeringscheferne at underskrive forfatningstraktaten i Bruxelles den 12.-13. december.
Graham WATSON (South West), for the Liberals, criticised the US's treatment of detainees in Guantanamo Bay.
Han efterlyste dog afklaring af en række punkter , herunder klarhed over hvad en EU-udenrigsminister skal foretage sig.
He also warned that no democracy could survive without the power of the purse, referring to the attempts to limit Parliament's budgetary powers.
Endvidere mente han, at flere kompetencer fortsat skal henhøre under national kontrol, herunder beskatning.
Mr Watson stated that the Stability Pact " was dead " due to Member States " abusing their right to break the Pact ".
"Byg Europa op nedefra og op" Jens-Peter BONDE (EDD, DK) advarede om, at den kommende forfatningstraktat er en trussel mod demokratiet , idet en lang række "beslutninger flyttes fra de nationale parlamenter til embedsmænd bag lukkede døre i Bruxelles".
Returning to the question of Guantanamo Bay, he warned that the US was contravening its principles of freedom and a right to a fair trial.
Bonde mente, at det, der skulle have ført til mere åbenhed, demokrati og borgerinddragelse, istedet vil medføre, at den samlede åbenhed mindskes, den lovgivende magt gøres til den udøvende og vælgerne får mindre indflydelse.
He called on the US " to release the 660 men and boys held in the camp, " stating that they should be either immediately charged or released.
Bonde talte for, at kommissærer skal udgå fra de nationale parlamenter og stå til ansvar for de nationale parlamenter.
Pernille FRAHM (EUL/NGL, DK) called on the Brussels Council to support the Geneva initiative for peace in Israel and Palestine.
Han afsluttede sin tale med en opfordring: "Byg Europa op, nedefra og op, og ikke oppefra og ned."
There were strengths and weaknesses: " Here in Parliament we are discussing a Constitution which may never be adopted.
Økonomiske og monetære anliggender
Citizens must have their say and have the right to vote yes or no.
EU-topmødet i Bruxelles:Stabilitetspagten - jobskabelse - bæredygtig udvikling
Democracy is not just about elections, it is not something we do only every four years ."
Forberedelse af Det Europæiske Råds Møde
Ms Frahm also addressed the issue of the Stability and Growth Pact.
Procedure: Forslag til beslutning
But this new Constitution will need to be ratified: if we are not satisfied with it, what about the citizens?
Stabilitetspagten Europa-Parlamentet udtrykker bekymring over Økofin-Rådets beslutninger den 25. november om stabilitets- og vækstpagten.
Mr Collins stressed a number of points of national interest: " I believe very strongly that taxation should remain under the control of the Member States.
"Vækstinitiativ" og "Lissabon-processen" EP mener, at den økonomiske politik skal fortsætte med at tilstræbe jobskabelse og bæredygtig vækst . man støtter EU-Kommissionens "vækstinitiativ", men beklager, at 10 år efter Delors' hvidbog og 3 år efter at "Lissabon-strategien" blev lanceret, så er de nødvendige beslutninger til at fremme økonomisk vækst blevet udsat.
Jens-Peter BONDE (EDD, DK) warned that the Constitution, which was supposed to bring Europe closer to its citizens, would in fact do the opposite. "
EP-beslutningen indeholder afsnit om:
The winners will be lobbyists and civil servants meeting in secret ."
økonomisk vækst,
Instead, we should have national parliaments electing the Commission. "
frihed, sikkerhed og retfærdighed,
Marco PANNELLA (IND, I) made a particular appeal for the Brussels Council to address matters of war and peace.
udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik,
Mr Tannock, furthermore, rejected the Charter of Fundamental Rights becoming legally binding.
Guantanano-fangerne m.m.
He wanted an agreement that was " quick and that would stick ."
Under Europa-Parlamentets debat om stabilitets- og vækstpagten blev EU's økonomi- og finansministre udsat for voldsom kritik af deres beslutning fra 25. november om at tillade Tyskland og Frankrig at bryde stabilitetspagtens regel om maksimalt at have et budgetunderskud på 3 % .
Mr Titley also warned that the accession countries still had a lot of work to do to fulfil their requirements including progress to joining the European Economic Area.
Nogle MEP'er talte om, at stabilitets- og vækstpagten er død , medens andre mente, at den blot var "skadet" , men alle var enige om, at troværdigheden har taget skade , og at der nu er risiko for højere renter, øget inflation og mindre stabilitet.
People, he stated, wanted more and better jobs and criticised the Member States for lagging behind in economic reform as well as on the question of the European Arrest Warrant.
Herunder forsvarede han Tysklands og Frankrigs brud på Stabilitetspagten med henvisning til, at den europæiske økonomiske udvikling har taget en anden (negativ) drejning, end forventet.
Baroness Sarah LUDFORD (ELDR, London) was also concerned with the Guantanamo Bay question and stated that she was co-rapporteur in preparing a legal challenge to the US Supreme Court.
Tremonti sagde, at ØKOFIN's (EU's økonomi- og finansministre) beslutning om at komme Tyskland og Frankrig til undsætning, blev truffet i overensstemmelse med alle gældende regler, og understregede herunder, at Stabilitetspagten skal fortolkes "fleksibelt og intelligent" .
John CUSHNAHAN (EPP-ED, Munster) said that credit was due to the Italian Presidency for the progress made at Naples, in particular regarding structured cooperation on defence.
Tremonti fremhævede, at Stabilitetspagten fortsat er et vigtigt instrument for EU's økonomiske politik , og at "ånden i Pagten ikke er død".
He argued that it was vital to end the paralysis of the Common Foreign and Security Policy: " We need to have policy decided by QMV on a proposal from the EU Foreign Minister.
Stabilitetspagtens regler: Lige for alle EU's økonomikommissær, spanieren Pedro MIRA SOLBES udtrykte dyb beklagelse over, at Tyskland og Frankrig ikke har overholdt Stabilitetspagten og de mange henstillinger, der er kommet fra Kommissionen og Rådet.
At the same time, we must ensure that the European Council Presidency does not conflict with the role of the Foreign Minister or that of the Commission President, who up to now has been the only permanent leader of the EU.
Han understregede, at Kommissionens rolle er, at håndhæve traktaten og bestemmelserne i Stabilitetspagten .
I believe it would be better to refer to a 'Chair' of the European Council rather than a 'President' ."
Borgerne i tiltrædelseslandene siger, at hvordan kan I forlange af os, at vi er mådeholdne med den økonomiske politik, når visse EU-lande viser så dårligt et eksempel?
Commissioner Pedro SOLBES MIRA , on the other hand, stated that the " current institutional crisis " surrounding the Stability Pact was due to a lack of convergence in Member State's economic policy.
Han understregede, at det ikke er de 3 %, der er problemet, men at landene ikke har konsolideret budgetterne.
Philippe HERZOG (EUL/NGL, F) stated that the Commission should require the Member States to abide by the law, but there should also be flexibility.
Disse er én af Sir Neil MacCORMICK (Verts/ALE, UK) om ophævelse af italieneren Giuseppe GARGANI's immunitet og en af Luis BERENGUER FUSTER (PSE, E) om finansielt og økonomisk samarbejde med Vestbredden og Gaza.
Christopher HUHNE (ELDR, South East) explained that France and Germany's excessive debt levels were due to an overly lax policy between 1999 and 2002 when their spending had been around 1.5% in excess of GDP.
Disse er to af Margie SUDRE (PPE-DE) om fiskeri og flåder i EU's yderste periferi, én af Danielle AUROI (Verts/ALE, F) om økologisk landbrug og endelig én af Giacomo SANTINI (PPE-DE, I) om finansiel og teknisk bistand til tredjelande på migrations- og asylområdet.
Across the whole EU, structural reform was taking place, notably in labour markets, and this was changing expectations of economic growth.
Konstitutionelle anliggender
Concluding the debate, Commissioner Solbes Mira, made three comments:
Nye styreformer i EU:"Borgertest"/konsekvensanalyse af EU-lovforslag?
the Commission had in fact proposed greater flexibility regarding the 3% limit;
EP vedtog en betænkning af den hollandske socialist Magrietus van den BERG om 3 meddelelser fra Kommissionen om styreformer i EU - herunder hvidbogen om nye styreformer i EU fra 25. juli 2001.
Parliament adopted a legislative resolution calling for the reduced VAT rate experiment for labour-intensive service sectors to be prolonged.
Man foreslår derfor, at alle EU-institutioner samler de forskellige internetsites i en fælles portal.
Moreover, the report points out that "data presented to the European Parliament by the industries concerned demonstrate that there has been a significant net job creation" , contrary to what the Commission says.
Demokratisk legitimitet Formålet med Kommissionens hvidbog var at forbedre forvaltningen i Europa inden for rammerne af de eksisterende traktater.
The House also says that Member States should be allowed to apply a reduced rate of VAT to a wider range of goods and services than suggested in the Commission proposal, provided this does not affect the functioning of the internal market.
