Barroso lovede EP 3 ting:
Barroso's response to the debate
Barroso vil give EP alle nødvendige oplysninger, også dokumenter som er sendt til andre institutioner og
Mr Barroso assured MEPs that it would be possible to maintain the independence of the Commission in competition matters.
Barroso vil føre en regelmæssig dialog med EP og regelmæssigt møde op i EP's formandskonference.
He also explained that he was not in a position to investigate mere rumours of problems in the past: if substantial evidence of impropriety emerged in the future he would take action.
Torsdag den 22. juli 2004 godkendte Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg Jose Manuel Barroso som ny formand for EU-Kommissionen.
He pointed out that there was not a united view from Parliament on the question of Mr Buttiglione: some groups and members wanted him replaced, others did not.
Efter afstemningen sagde Barroso, at han var stolt over at skulle tjene EU som formand for Kommissionen.
Mr Barroso said that he had made his decision on how to react in the light of the common European interest.
Højre/venstre-dimensionen er kun en dimension i politik - der er andre dimensioner.
He had proposed his best solution and given substantial guarantees to Parliament.
Der er således EU-tilhængere og EU-modstandere både på højre- og venstrefløjen, og han ønskede at samarbejde med alle, så vi kan danne en "dynamisk koalition for Europa" .
He professed himself surprised at criticism on the issue of human rights and non-discrimination, where his said his Commission would be particularly strong.
EU-lederskab Barroso fastslog, at det er vor opgave at skabe fred, velfærd og fremskridt på det europæiske kontinent.
He asked whether the pro-Europeans really wanted to be voting with the anti-European populists on this issue.
I janaur 2005 vil formanden Jose Manuel Barroso fremlægge Kommissionens lovgivnings- og arbejdsprogram for 2005 i Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg.
President BORRELL said it was a great honour for Parliament to welcome her to the Chamber, at a time when the Dutch government was managing the Council Presidency with competence and pragmatism.
Under "Leuven-seminaret" var der bred enighed mellem de 25 nye kommissærer om, at Kommissionens program skal koncentreres om færre prioriteter.
He also drew attention to the Queen's commitment to helping the less well off members of society.

"And so we set to work, with great enthusiasm.
Kommunikation og lederskab!
At that time Europe offered us completely new prospects ."
"Fællesskabsmetoden" skal være drivkraften bag dette, og Barroso-Kommissionen skal lære at kommunikere bedre med borgerne, medierne, Europa-Parlamentet og de nationale regeringer.
On that occasion, the Queen ended a European student congress with the words, ”We have to admit that instead of having common ideals we merely have problems, and that those problems constitute the only European unity today.”
Barroso-Kommissionen ønsker at styrke EU-Kommissionens lederskab , som har været for nedadgående i de senere år - ikke bare under Prodi-Kommissionen.
The Queen noted with satisfaction that forty-three years later, those words were fortunately no longer valid.
Kommissionen skal være "uafhængig, troværdig og stærk" og fremlægge "kvalitetsforslag" .
"European integration has taken convincing shape, and has become part of our lives.
Alt dette skal ske på baggrund af den nuværende politiske ramme, som kræver
But there is little evidence nowadays of the idealism that gripped us then," she said.
konsolidering af EU-udvidelsen den 1. maj 2004 med 10
This lack of enthusiasm meant adhering to established agreements was sometimes more difficult than first envisaged and unanimity on the course to be followed did not always hold firm.
Interne organisation Barroso-teamet nåede frem til bred enighed om nøgleprincipperne for den interne organisation i Kommissionen i de kommende 5 år.
She believed that "the unique European experiment has led to impressive results."
Man lagde vægt på
EU enlargement
stærk kollegialitet og solidaritet mellem kommissærerne,
As the first Head of State to address Parliament since the accession of the new Member States, Queen Beatrix welcomed the MEPs from those states.

"Everyone who cares about the European ideal has looked forward to this moment."

The Queen recalled that the EU was based on "a community of law."
at få tid til at deltage i debatter og beslutninger af politisk art.
The countries which are members "have placed themselves under the authority of the law in the interests of their common future" and this implied respect for the rights of every individual citizen.
Valg af den samlede EU-Kommission Efter Nice står der i EU-traktatens artikel 214 , stk 2: " ...
Each cherishes its own identity, language and cultural heritage," said the Queen.
Efter Europa-Parlamentets godkendelse udnævner Rådet med kvalificeret flertal Kommissionens formand og øvrige medlemmer".
The Queen called for respect for the principle of subsidiarity: "With a proper balance between central and delegated government, the Union will not create the impression of being an all-encompassing bureaucracy that alienates people."
Den udpegede formand præsenterer sit kollegium og forelægger Kommissionens program på et møde i Parlamentet, hvortil alle medlemmer af Rådet er indbudt.
As to future enlargements, she believed that the Union gains in strength when it opens up to countries that share its legal standards and meet the criteria.
Som afslutning på forhandlingen kan en politisk gruppe eller mindst 40 medlemmer fremsætte et beslutningsforslag ...
If peoples strive to make the difficult transition to a democratic system as smooth as possible, they deserve all the more appreciation and support."
Afstemningen sker ved navneopråb (Red.: dvs elektronisk afstemning)."
Thus the EU respects and supports the United Nations "as a global organisation that propagates those same principles throughout the world."
"Tillidsvotum" Siden Gaston Thorn-Kommissionen s indsættelse i 1981 har Europa-Parlamentet afgivet et såkaldt "tillidsvotum" , når en ny Kommission skulle tiltræde, selv om der ikke var nogen retsregler bag dette "tillidsvotum".
The Queen said that through the Treaty, "our countries are clearly stating that they accept their responsibilities vis-à-vis the world at large, and will continue to fight unceasingly against poverty, inequality and injustice."
I 1984, 1988 og 1992 sendte det Europæiske Råd udnævnelsen af Jacques Delors til høring i EP's udvidede præsidium.
In conclusion, Queen Beatrix said that "our continent is home to an age-old spiritual kinship, a feeling of solidarity that makes us Europeans."
I Maastricht-traktaten fra 1992 blev Kommissionens mandatperiode forlænget fra 4 til 5 år, således at godkendelsen af Kommissionsformanden og Kommissionskollegiet blev den første væsentlige handling i det nyvalgte Europa-Parlament.
The treaties described ever more clearly the kind of civilisation in which we wished to live and the European institutions were the pillars that support that civilisation.
EP godkendte den samlede Kommission under Jacques Santers ledelse i januar 1995 med 417 stemmer for og 104 imod.
Parliament has approved by a large majority the resolution from Salvador GARRIGA POLLEDO (EPP-ED, ES) accompanying the first reading of the 2005 Budget.
Amsterdam og Prodi Amsterdam-traktaten fra 1998 styrkede EP's rolle ved at tildele EP en afstemning om godkendelse ved udnævnelsen af Kommissionsformanden.
Following this vote, commitment appropriations amount to €117 195 256 630 and payment appropriations to €111 263 911 793, in each case below the ceilings of the Financial Perspective.
I maj 1999 godkendte Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg Romano Prodi som ny formand for EU-Kommissionen med 392 stemmer mod 72 - medens 41 undlod at stemme.
MEPs increased the figure for payment appropriations, which the Council had slashed in its draft budget in July (when it suggested €4 billion less than the Commission's preliminary draft).
Det skete efter, at Santer-Kommissionen havde indgivet sin afskedsbegæring.
One major change is the sizeable hike proposed for Structural Measures, largely because the funding for this policy area was well spent during the current financial year.
Hele Prodi-Kommissionen blev godkendt den 15. september 1999 med 404 stemmer mod 153 - medens 37 undlod at stemme .
According to the resolution, these increases are justified by the need for the EU to "provide the necessary budgetary means to meet its stated ambitions" .
Nice-traktaten Amsterdam-traktaten styrkede også Kommissionsformandens rolle ved udpegelsen af de øvrige kommissærer.
These are to speed up implementation of the Lisbon Strategy so as to boost sustainable development and employment, enhance co-operation on asylum and immigration policies, strengthen cohesion and external policies and improve the information targeted at the European public by the EU.
Nice-traktaten - som trådte i kraft den 1. februar 2003! - indførte reglen om, at det Europæiske Råd udpeger Kommissionesformanden og det øvrige Kommissions-kollegium med kvalificeret flertal i stedet for med enstemmighed som hidtil.
On this last point, Parliament says it is essential to reinforce the information provided to citizens in the light of the forthcoming campaigns on the European constitution and the low turnout at the June 2004 European elections.
Hvis EP forkaster kandidaten, skal det Europæiske Råd foreslå en ny kandidat inden en måned.
In July, the Council cut a number of budget headings, thus increasing their margins so as to forestall any need to use the flexibility instrument.
Den 4.-5. november 2004 holdes der EU-topmøde i Justus Lipsius-bygningen i Bruxelles.
Another bone of contention between Parliament and Council is that there is no margin within the heading Internal Policies from which the funding proposed for the decentralised EU agencies could come.
Onsdag den 27. oktober 2004 debatterede Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg dagsordenen for det kommende EU-topmøde.
When the ceilings for the various headings were established in 1999, no one foresaw the explosion in the number of agencies (23 now as opposed to 7 just six years ago), with the impact this would have on staff levels (2,695 posts, including the 418 new posts requested for 2005).
Dagsordenen for Bruxelles-topmødet indeholder bl.a. følgende punkter:
The funds that need to be earmarked for this purpose are so great that they are jeopardising funding for other key areas.
At "formidle" Europa, dvs. informations- og kommunikationspolitik ,
It nevertheless proposes that Parliament should approve the request to fund 700 extra posts at the Commission, although 150 posts would be kept in the reserve.
Udvidelse : Tyrkiet, Rumænien, Bulgarien og Kroatien og
These reserve posts could be released provided the Commission meets certain conditions, in particular by allocating more money to the Infopoints.
Under debatten sagde den hollandske Europaminister Atzo NIKOLAI , at Wim Kok-rapporten danner udgangspunkt for den midtvejsevaluering af "Lissabon-strategien" , det Europæiske Råd skal lave under forårstopmødet i Luxembourg .
The 2005 budget is due for its second reading vote by Parliament during the December Strasbourg session.
Den nuværende strid om Barroso-Kommissionen berører ikke de store temaer i Europa.

Vidensbaseret europæisk erhvervsliv!
Section VIII (A) – European Ombudsman
Verheugen fastslog, at "Lissabon" skal føre til bæredygtig vækst og mere beskæftigelse.
Section VIII (B) – European Data Protection Supervisor
På det retslige område bør vi styrke Tampere-strategien.
Parliament agrees that the extra posts in the administration for enlargement, requested by the various institutions, should be provided.
Vi skal skabe balance mellem frihed og sikkerhed i en situation, hvor bekæmpelsen af terrorisme har været opprioriteret i de seneste år.
However, the committee insists on the importance of clear justification for the new spending (activity-based budgeting).
Målet er, at gøre EU til den stærkeste økonomiske magt i verden, og hvor borgerrettighederne står stærkest.
The House also insists on developing, on top of reforming administrative structures, an institutional redeployment and co-ordination in order to make further savings.
Günter Verheugen erkendte, at der er en kløft mellem EU og borgerne .
Support for displaced persons in Asia and Latin America
Men ratificeringen af forfatningstraktaten giver mulighed for dialog med borgerne.
Luisa MORGANTINI (GUE/NGL, IT)
Ratificeringen er et nationalt anliggende, men EU-Kommissionen vil styrke sin evne til at kommunikere .
Report on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EC) No 2130/2001 on operations to aid uprooted people in Asian and Latin American developing countries
Marianne THYSSEN (PPE-DE, BE) fremhævede, at Lissabon-processen ikke i tilstrækkeligt grad bliver realiseret og at medlemsstaterne er for dårlige til at gennemføre de nødvendige tiltag, herunder de påkrævede strukturelle forandringer.
While they are still anticipating a framework regulation for support for Asia and Latin America, MEPs voted to extend the life of the existing scheme providing financial support for displaced people in these regions, which has been in place since 1984.
Thyssen benyttede endvidere sin taletid til at understrege, at et "nej" til Barroso-Kommissionen vil medføre yderligere forsinkelser i gennemførelsen af Lissabon-processen.
This aid aims to encourage the return home of people who were obliged to flee as a result of war in their community of origin, or to encourage their integration into their new host community.
Graham WATSON (ALDE/ADLE, UK) sagde, at Lissabon-processen i høj grad handler om, hvordan livskvaliteten blandt EU's borgere kan forbedres, og at det er ikke kun er et spørgsmål om at være den førende økonomi i verden.
The reintegration of demobilised ex-combatants is also among the objectives of the scheme.
Fravær af sociale værdier På vegne af de grønne anklagede italieneren Monica FRASSONI den såkaldte Wim Kok-rapport om Lissabon-processen for ikke at beskæftige sig med den sociale dimension.
The rapporteur, Luisa MORGANTINI (GUE/NGL, IT) insisted on the need for significant flexibility in the use of this support, to allow for a transition from humanitarian aid to development aid.
Herunder sagde Frassoni, at Wim Kok-rapporten ensidigt fokuserer på indkomst og forbrug, men ikke på hvordan man forbruger, og kritiserede at miljøet blot er et emne, der nævnes sporadisk i rapporten.
It has notably been used to help displaced populations in Burma, Afghanistan and Colombia (the only recipient country in Latin America).
Erik MEIJER (GUE/NGL, NL) sagde, at en fejlslagen Lissabon-proces giver EU en helt ny mulighed for at blive den mest sociale model i verden og fremhævede, at målet bør være at arbejde aktivt for at bekæmpe kriminalitet og sikre miljøet.
The amendments adopted by MEPs aim to limit the application of the regulation to the period covered by the existing Financial Perspective, that is to say up to the end of 2006, and also to remind the Commission that they should have provided an independent evaluation report to Parliament and the Council at least a year before the expiry of the existing regulation.
Ligeledes understregede Marcin LIBICKI (UEN, PL), at Lissabon ikke er en "magisk formel", der kan løse alle EU's problemer.

Parliament supports ECB monetary policy
Den Europæiske Centralbanks årsberetning 2003
Report on the 2003 Annual Report of the European Central Bank
Mandag den 25. oktober 2004 drøftede Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg den Europæiske Centralbanks årsberetning for 2003.
MEPs adopted a report supporting the monetary policy pursued by the European Central Bank and calling for the pace of structural economic reform in Europe to be stepped up.
Debatten fandt sted på baggrund af en betænkning af den franske grønne Alain LIPIETZ fra EP's økonomi-udvalg.
Thanks to a large extent to the ECB, monetary union is "a great success" .
Tirsdag den 26. oktober 2004 vedtog Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg en betænkning fra EP's økonomi- og valutaudvalg om den Europæiske Centralbanks årsberetning for 2003 .
Parliament reminds the ECB that a higher degree of transparency in the decision making process is needed and urges it to publish minutes and voting patterns of Governing Council meetings.
Betænkningen blev vedtaget med 318 stemmer mod 299 - medens 45 undlod at stemme.
The House would also like the Bank to publish a regional and cross-border review of productivity trends, something similar to the "beige book" of the US Federal Reserve.
Ordføreren, den franske grønne Alain LIPIETZ sagde før den endelige afstemning, at han ville stemme imod, og at hans navn skulle fjernes fra betænkningen.
Concerning the enlargement of the eurozone, Parliament is in favour of the introduction of the euro in all Member States, subject to the same conditions and convergence criteria as those that applied in 1997.
Baggrunden for at Lipietz ville stemme imod sin egen betænkning var, at EP under afstemningen havde taget afstand fra Lipietz' ønske om at kræve, at anden generation af eurosedler skal udstyres med fotos af levende mennesker.
The rapporteur for this subject was the Greens/EFA Member Alain LIPIETZ (FR) However, after MEPs rejected his position on a number of policy areas and on the future design of banknotes (he had wanted to include recognisable people on the notes), he asked for his name to be removed from the final version.
Under EP-debatten sagde formanden for den Europæiske Centralbank, franskmanden Jean-Claude TRICHET , at ECB ønsker et frugtbart forhold til Europa-Parlamentet , som foregår i en ånd af samarbejdsvilje.
Jean-Claude TRICHET , President of the European Central Bank, addressed Parliament on the occasion of the debate on the Bank's annual report for 2003.
Der havde været mange udfordringer i 2003 med stagnerende BNP og stigning i oliepriserne samt stigninger i fødevarepriserne i 2. halvdel af året.
In his remarks, he reviewed the economic situation in 2003, noting that GDP growth in the euro area had been 0.5 per cent and that inflation, as measured by the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), had been 2.1 per cent.
Men nu er verdensøkonomien i gang med den største vækst i 30 år, og der er plads til øget privat forbrug i euroområdet.
Despite the volatility of certain sectors, he said the Bank expected inflation over the medium term to be in line with the goal of price stability.
Men stigningen i oliepriserne kan dog bremse genopsvinget både inden for og uden for euroområdet.
Looking ahead, there were risks if oil prices remained high for a long period or went higher.
Jean-Claude Trichet pegede på den nuværende moderate lønudvikling og mente, at årsinflationen bør falde til under 2 % i 2005 .
Despite this, and increases in indirect taxes and administered prices which had led the HICP for the euro area to reach 2.3 per cent in the second quarter of 2004, there was no indication of stronger underlying inflationary pressure.
En troværdig monetær politik er en forudsætning for vækst, og de historisk lave rentesatser støtter den monetære ekspansion.
He said that the low interest rates meant that monetary liquidity was more than was required for non-inflationary growth.
Trichet glædede sig over styrkelsen af strukturreformer i 2003 og 2004, idet dette er en nøgle til at styrke vækstpotentialet.
The other conditions for this were sound fiscal policy and success in structural reform.
Protokoller, troværdighed og effektivitet Trichet var glad for, at EP i Lipietz-betænkningen støtter ECB's monetære politik i 2003, hvor man havde sikret prisstabilitet.
In the first case, 2003 had been disappointing, he said, with fiscal policy facing serious challenges, notably the Council's decision to suspend the procedures of the Stability and Growth Pact.
EP ligger således tæt op ad ECB's synspunkter .
In the second case, there had been significant progress, but there was no room for complacency and more needed to be done, he said.
Han tog dog afstand fra i ECB's protokoller at offentliggøre de enkelte Styrelsesmedlemmers stemmeafgivning, idet dette kunne have en negativ virkning på ECB's troværdighed og effektivite t. Trichet sluttede med at fastslå, at den Europæiske Centralbank er en af de mest åbne og gennemsigtige banker i verden.
On reform of the Stability and Growth Pact, Mr Trichet said significant improvements could be made in its operation, but there was no need for changes to the treaty provisions or the basic regulation.
Lipietz glædede sig over, at ECB erkender, at den Europæiske Centralbanks ansvar foregår via en dialog med Europa-Parlamentet .
He highlighted the practice of holding a press conference immediately after board meetings, which, he said, had been a major step forward in terms of central bank transparency and which was of equivalent value to the publication of a summary edition of the board minutes.
Han sluttede med at minde om, at vi skal til at overveje 2. generationen af eurosedler, og Lipietz mente her, at vi fremover bør have levende mennesker på eurosedlerne.
Parliament's rapporteur on the subject, Alain LIPIETZ (Greens/EFA, FR) praised the high quality of the ECB's report.
ECB's ansvarlighed I Lipietz-betænkningen udtrykker Europa-Parlamentet tilfredshed med, at ECB fuldt ud erkender, at den er ansvarlig over for offentligheden og Europa-Parlamente t med hensyn til de målsætninger, ECB skal opfylde jvf.
Among other points, he called for the dialogue between Parliament and the Bank to be further improved.
Man understreger, at hovedformålet for ECB og det Europæiske System af Centralbanker (ESCB) er at fastholde prisstabilitet og støtte EU's økonomiske politikker, som fastlagt i EU-traktatens artikel 2 samt konklusionerne fra "Lissabon" og "Göteborg".
He argued in favour of keeping the 1 and 2 euro coins and said the next design of euro notes should include recognisable faces, which would make the currency more approachable for citizens.
I 2003 voksede EU's BNP med 0,8 % - og euroområdets kun med 0,4 %.
In the debate which followed, Kurt Joachim LAUK (DE) spoke for the EPP-ED group.
Inflationen i euroområdet nåede et historisk lavt niveau - faldt til 2,1 % i forhold til 2,3 % i 2002.
He welcomed the new format of the Bank's report, which he said was clearer and more intelligible.
EU-Kommissionens oprindelige budgetforslag for 2005 lød på 109,568 mia. euro (i betalingsbevillinger), men under Rådets 1. behandling nedskar man dette beløb med 4,3 mia. euro til 105,221 mia. euro .
For the PES group, Joseph MUSCAT (MT) said that, despite the occasionally obscure language, the issues raised in this debate affected millions of EU citizens in their everyday lives.
ECOFIN-Rådet nedskar strukturfondene med 3 mia. euro og landbrugspolitikken med 1 mia. euro.
He said the first priority should be a sound foundation for Europe's economies, while safeguarding the social fabric.
Under EP's 1. behandling af 2005-budgettet hævede man det samlede EU-budget for 2005 til 111,264 mia. euro .
He argued that Member States which had not adopted the euro should not impose harsh measures on the working classes in order to meet the convergence criteria.
