A call made in 1996 for Council to organise an international conference on Kosovo went unheeded.

The idea is that the force would be put together by international organisations including the UN, the EU and the Western European Union.
Det siger næstformand i Europa-Parlamentet Bertel Haarder (Venstre) til Nyt fra Europa.
MEPs were appalled at the carnage, and the action of the Serbian police came under heavy criticism.

The EU did not even have a special envoy in the region, complained Johannes Swoboda (A, PES) in contrast to the US which was actively trying to defuse the crisis.
- Ens løn til alle vil være det bedste.
That is why they want the UN to maintain a military presence in the former Yugoslav republic of Macedonia.

In April MEPs look at VAT rates and relations with Russia.
Betalingen pr. km overstiger langt selv en flybillet på Business-class, forklarer næstformanden.
Mr Henderson emphasised that the EU did not support independence for Kosovo but rather regional autonomy.
Man kunne sæt te km-prisen yderligere ned, og de, der måtte få underskud, kan kun få forskellen betalt mod aflevering af flybilletten.
Unfortunately, the recent crackdown by the Serbian police had under mined moderates on both sides.

The unfolding violence in Kosovo following on from the civil war and attrocities in Bosnia has led MEPs to call for a substantial increase in the powers of the International Criminal Court.
Vi kan så få en løsning, og det er Rådets ansvar, hvis det kun bliver den næstbedste, fastslår han.

MEPs marked International Women's Day - 8 March - by calling on the international community to show support for Afghan women.
Hun fortalte, at kvinderne i Afghanistan tidligere havde vidtstrakte friheder, og at de var meget aktive i det økonomiske liv, især under den lange periode med krig og borgerkrig.
Commissioner Emma Bonino shared the concern of MEPs about the fate of women in Afghanistan and pointed out that women who played a key role in running the country during the ten-year civil war, especially in the health and education services, were

It was also vital to promote a positive environmental policy based on high standards.
Den er blevet igangsat efter forslag fra Europa-Parlamentet og har til formål at skabe international opmærksomhed om de afghanske kvinders fortvivlede situation.
On the question of reducing the gulf between the EU institutions and the citizen, he emphasised the need for transparency in all the EU's activities.
Formanden for Parlamentets Udvalg om Kvinders Rettigheder, hollænderen Nel van Dijk havde under debatten taget en »burka« på - det klædningsstykke, som de afghanske kvinder er tvunget til at bære.

A lot of responsibility for ensuring this lay with the European Parliament, he said, which faced a challenge of establishing democracy at a European level without losing contact with the grass-roots.

Folkesundhed til debat i EU
The other side of the coin
Europa-Parlamentet har i den seneste tid haft en række sager om sundhed på dagsordenen.
Council into agreement on which countries are to participate.
Kommissionen ønsker at iværksætte et femårigt handlingsprogram til bekæmpelse af personskader i perioden 1999-2003.
In the interests of transparency, MEPs from the committee are also pushing for minutes of the European Central Bank council meet ings to be published immediately.
Det sker i henhold til EU's forpligtelse til at gøre en indsats på folkesundhedsområdet som foreskrevet i Maastricht-traktatens artikel 129.
The Bank should also provide MEPs with key financial data such as inflation targets, while there is also mounting support for setting up within the Parliament of a US-style banking committee to over see policy tected or hidden in a wealth of detail.
Europa-Parlamentet efterlyser i samme forbindelse en handlingsplan til bekæmpelse af Alzheimer's sygdom.
One of Parliament's concerns is to see less secrecy and more openness and increased public debate through wide spread disclosure of what is being discussed.
I 1991 døde 190.000 mennesker af personskader i EU. Det blev kun overgået af hjerte-karsygdomme, luftvejssygdomme og kræft.
in justifying opposition to an amendment on the grounds that it won't be acceptable to Ministers, it is opting for an easy way out.

Der skal også gøres en indsats for at forebygge selv mord, der hvert år fører til 43.000 døde og 700.000 kvæstede i EU.
Far too often it is tempting for the House to vote for a desirable aim which then gets ruled out of order on the grounds that it goes beyond the scope of the proposal under consideration.
I Europa-Parlamentet er der bred enighed om, at der skal gøres en indsats for at forebygge personskader, men Parlamentet mener dog, at det er vigtigt at skelne mellem forsætlige og uforsætlige skader.
At issue was the degree of universal protection to be given to consumers who could be at risk from unscrupulous salesmen using the absence of legislation in one member state to elicit advance payments over the phone without a guarantee that the goods ordered would actually be delivered.

»Mod dem, der overtræder de europæiske regler, mod dem, der tror, at de kan sætte sig ud over loven, mod dem, der handler med den største ringagt for europæisk lovgivning, kan De kun gøre én ting hr. kommissær, og det er at vise det røde kort.« Philippe De Coene, belgier, De Europæiske Socialdemokraters Gruppe
Perhaps some measure of the success of the procedure can be seen in the Amsterdam Treaty which resulted in an extension of co-decision and conciliation to new areas including the environment, social and transport policy, aid policy and the regional fund.

WITH elections to the European Parliament in June 1999 fast approaching, the British home secretary has announced that he is against an "open" list system for granting voters the opportunity to choose the order of candidates within the party list as happens in Belgium.
Det indførte samtidig en ny type risikovurdering, der skal foretages på arbejdspladser med farlige, kemiske stoffer.

In other words, voters would vote for the party list rather than individual candidates.
Jeg bryder mig egentlig ikke om grænseværdier, fordi arbejdsmiljøet helst skulle være så rent, at der ikke er brug for grænseværdier.
The system has been criticised on the grounds that it vests too much power in parties who would control the selection of candidates and the order on the list.
Men sandheden er desværre en anden, og derfor er det nødvendigt at fast lægge visse grænseværdier, sagde Freddy Blak.
All major parties are, however, planning to select candidates on the basis of extensive consultation with party membership.

Basically backdoor deals are out".
- Det er glædeligt, at tre års blokade i Rådet nu endelig er blevet brudt, sagde Freddy Blak (Socialdemokratiet), der var ordfører for Parlamentets betænkning.
The problem was resolved when the Commission promised to come forward with a specific proposal covering financial services, vindicating Parliament's concern to get action.
- Kommissionen er glad for Parlamentets konstruktive indfaldsvinkel, sagde kommissær Edith Cresson og takkede Freddy Blak for et godt samarbejde. Kommissionen kunne støtte en lang række af de foreslåede ændringer, og kun på få punkter foretrak Edith Cresson de formuleringer, som Rådet var nået til enighed om.
Certain Council delegations were reluctant to tamper with national contract law and, in particular, property contracts by introducing another layer of rules based on EU law.
Ved andenbehandlin­gen af et forslag om grænsevær­dierne for luftforureningen fra biler fastholdt Parlamentet sine krav om strengere normer.

THE resignation of sitting MEP Norman West (Yorkshire South, PES) on health grounds means that there will be a by-election.
Parlamen­tet foreslog ved førstebehandlin­gen sidste år i april at indføre strengere normer, end Kommis­sionen havde lagt op til, idet Par­lamentet mente, at det også var i bilindustriens egen interesse at indføre normer, som ikke står til­bage for de regler, der gælder f.eks. i USA.
In the 1994 Euro elections Mr West won the seat for Labour with 109,004 votes against 20,695 for the Conservatives and 11,798 for the Liberal Democrats Britain is the only country in the EU where euro by-elections are held in the event of the resignation or death of a member.
Endvidere fastholder man, at der skal indføres obligatoriske værdier fra år 2005 og ikke kun vejledende grænseværdier som i Rådets fælles holdning.
But with new proposals to change the electoral system for next year's Euro-election to be based on PR and party lists now under discussion, this could be the last euro byelection as it is likely that Britain will follow the system used in other member states with replacements taken from party lists used in the election campaign. paign.
