Der er i øjeblikket forhandlinger i gang om en multilateral investe­ringsaftale mellem OECD­lande­ne.
On its side Parliament's delegation has to be careful in not pushing unrealistic demands.
Aftalen skal afløse de henved 1800 bilaterale aftaler og skabe en ramme for de hastigt voksende internationale investeringer.
The MEPs involved in the negotiations are learning how to be flexible and reasonable and to rely on the force of logic.
forligsforhandlinger. ­ Resultatet kan kun blive bedre ved at gå ind i forligsforhandlinger med Rådet, sagde tyskeren Karl­Heinz Florenz fra Det Europæiske Folkepartis Gruppe.
It is important to realise that both institutions have a common interest in reaching an agree ment in the interest of Euro peans as a whole.
Man må er­kende, at biler skader sundheden og miljøet, sagde han.
The key to success is to find a balance between the desirable and what is practicable.
Sammen med forslaget om bilers udstødningsgasser drøftede Par­lamentet et direktivforslag om kvaliteten af benzin og dieselolie.
Another breakthrough was achieved when Ministers even tually agreed to delete a clause on the technical specifications for motorcycles which would have obliged bikers to purchase certain brands of lyres.
Parlamentet vedtog, at de diag­nosesticks, som moderne biler er forsynet med, ikke må kodes, så kun autoriserede værksteder kan kontrollere motorindstillingen.
However, this does include new policies with a direct impact on the citizen and lays down a marker for the future.
Og­så bilsynene og uafhængige værksteder bør kunne kontrollere.
Certain major policy areas such as agriculture and taxation were excluded.
Rådet har delvist taget højde for Parlamentets krav. Rådet foreslår, at der henvises til ISO­standarder med hensyn til de tekniske speci­fikationer for diagnosesticks.
Educating European citizens
­ Olieindustrien har givet alt for høje tal for omkostningerne ved en forbedring af brændstofferne, sagde Heidi Hautala.
Delegations will be trying in the months ahead to resolve outstanding differences over such issues as car parts and whether or not there is to be a European market for cheaper non-brand manufacturers and car pollution.
Den seneste forskning viser, at omkostninger­ne ikke bliver nær så store, som man tidligere har troet, sagde hun.
MEPs are seeking binding legislation to force manufacturers to drastically cut back emission levels and incentives for the production of cleaner engines.
Ordføreren regnede med, at om­kostningerne pr. bil bliver under 40 kr. om året for benzinmotorer og ca. 75 kr. for dieselmotorer.
Reaching agreement will not be easy but one thing is certain, a lot more talking will be done.
Hautala understregede, at der bør indføres obligatoriske grænse­værdier fra 2005.
In addition, controversial points can often remain unde
­ Både inden for bilindustrien og inden for oliebranchen arbejder man på langt sigt, påpegede itali­eneren Riccardo Garosci fra Gruppen Union for Europa.
There is no doubt that MEPs have been kept busy - 110 proposals have been examined since 1993 under the new procedure with 40 requiring conciliation.
Han fandt det derfor nødvendigt alle­rede nu at fastlægge præcise tal for 2005, så industrien kan plan­lægge.
If much of the detailed negotiations on the kind of data required to monitor health policy, or whether or not customs officers should wear EU stars on their arms went largely unreported, MEPs were slowly but
­ Selvom Rådet har accepteret visse af Parlamentets forslag, er det ikke tilstrækkeligt, sagde den tyske socialdemokrat Bernd Lan­ge. Han var Parlamentets ordfører i sagen.
The onus on Parliament is also to make sure that it has done its homework, with members properly briefed.
Den fælles holdning er som hel­hed langt fra tilfredsstillende, me­ner ordføreren, den finske grønne Heidi Hautala.
Unfortunately, on some occasions it has lost the trust of MEPs who suspect that surely finding their feet in discovering how to negotiate with ministers in face-to-face talks.
Hun indrømmer dog, at Rådet har taget nogle få skridt til imødekommelse af Euro­pa­Parlamentets krav, navnlig ved at anerkende behovet for at give investorer og fabrikanter nogle muligheder for at planlægge ud over år 2005.
Meetings are, however, often characterised by a Council composed of officials rather than ministers, at first, openly refusing to budge from an agreed position or considering any of Parliament's amendments.
Forhandlingerne er foregået bag lukkede døre.
This happened, for example, in discussions over legislation the Council and an equal number of representatives from Parliament.
Europa­Parla­mentet mener imidlertid, at aftalen kan blive så vidtrækkende, at der er behov for en debat.
There are six weeks to draw up a joint text which, to come into force, must then be approved by Parliament and Council within another six weeks.
Når aftalen er færdig, kan de nationale parla­menter sige ja eller nej; men de har ikke mulighed for at ændre i selve indholdet, forklarede for­manden for Parlamentets Udvalg om Eksterne Økonomiske Forbin­delser, italieneren Luciana Castel­lina (Den Forenede Ventrefløj/Nor­disk Grønne Venstre).
Under further refinements brought in by the Treaty of Amsterdam, legislation fails if the joint text is not approved by either side.
Udvalget havde deror lavet en initiativbe­tænkning om aftalen. Ordfører var tyskeren Wolfgang Kreissl­Dörfler (De Grønne).
This represented a considerable step forward.
­ Det er for tidligt at fastsætte obligatoriske grænseværdier for 2005, sagde kommissær Christos Papoutsis.
The conciliation committee is made up of the 15 members of rejecting outright a proposal in its final form, would lead to Parliament being blamed for the failure to bring to the statute book an important piece of leg islation.
Først til næste år ved anden fase af auto­olie­program­met bør der fastsættes præcise tal, sagde han.
Ministers do not want to be seen as responsible for the breakdown of talks, thus provoking rejection, since Parliament nearly always errs on the side of

­ Kun gennem faste normer er det realistisk at opnå den ønske­de luftkvalitet, understregede Ulla Sandbæk (JuniBevægelsen).
TRADITIONALLY the annual budgetary procedure is the place where MEPs take on Council and use their powers to vote through more funding for projects than the member states want to accept.
Der må sættes klarere grænser for motorkøretøjers emission, og der må sættes klarere normer for ben­zinens kvalitet, sagde hun og krævede bindende grænseværdi­er.
But with many policies now being financed on a multi-annual basis, negotiations on the amount available take place when the programme itself
­ Det drejer sig ikke kun om, at nye biler skal overholde normer­ne, men vi bør også se på forure­ningen fra biler efter 2­3 års kør­sel, sagde Bernd Lange.
This gap is explained by the fact that there are few homogeneous political groups at a European level, no transnational European public and very few genuine European political leaders.

The authors argue, however, that there are important aspects of history, culture and society which unite the citizens of Europe, and that these similarities should form the basis for the development of education in and for European citizenship.

Indeed, there was a suspicion that the Commission was acting in the interests of certain manufacturers.

It would have been a tragedy to neglect this real problem area.

Der er derfor god grund til at gøre en indsats både for at mindske antallet af ulykker og for at gøre skaderne mindre, når ulykker sker.
Attention now moves to France, where superbikes are banned.
Transportarbejdernes undtagelse fra arbejdstidsdirekti­vet bør bringes til ophør, mener Parlamentet.
Compromises were worked out to balance the interests of manufacturers with riders and the impact on the environment.

MEPs, using new legislative powers, refused to accept the Commission's insistence on a 100 bhp (74 kW) engine limit.
Det er af hi­storisk betydning for Portugal, da det er kulminationen på vores be­slutning om at tilslutte os den eu­ropæiske integration, sagde Jor­ge Sampaio.
The agreement accepted by both Parliament and the Commission was that an independent study would be commissioned to determine the relationship between power bikes and road accidents.

While the overall figure shows a total increase of 0.9 per cent, Germany, Italy and Sweden saw decreases.
Der var en del debat om brugen af kørelys.
Ireland, on the other hand, recorded the highest growth figure of 5.8 per cent.
Ikke alle var enige om at gøre kørelys obligatorisk.

Østrigs præsident, Thomas Kle­stil, sagde, at EU i dag står over for den store opgave at sikre både dynamik og stabilitet på det euro­pæiske kontinent.
occasions MEPs have once again found themselves at odds with Council over the amounts in question, resulting in the convening of the conciliation committee.
Det er den ene­ste måde, man kan møde globali­seringens udfordringer, og det kan kun lykkes, hvis man har bor­gernes opbakning, sagde Tho­mas Klestil.
What is surprising, how ever, is the intensity of disputes over relatively small amounts. For example MEPs wanted to see Ecu 10.5 million allocated to the Ariane cultural programme designed to promote translations of books and other reading materials into minority languages.
­ Det er godt, at færdselssikker­hed bliver gjort til en europæisk sag, sagde Niels Sindal (Socialde­mokratiet).
The financial dimension to disputes can be seen in another way when, for example, a proposal affecting crossborder credit transfers came under discussion.
Han erindrede dog om, at der i landene er forskellige trafikkulturer, hvorfor det er bedre at lade tingene vokse op nedefra, når der skal laves fælles regler.
The proposal was designed to force the banks to undertake transactions from one country to another without penalising the consumer with excessive charges.
Bi­lers konstruktion er et fælles an­liggende ligesom grænseover­skridende trafik, sagde Niels Sindal. Han støttede forslaget om en tilpasning af hastighedsregler­ne.
While Council originally favoured setting a limit of Ecu 30,000 to which the new legislation would apply, it finally agreed to raising the amount to Ecu 50,000, the figure favoured by Parliament.

Yet it is becoming more and more important as an issue of principle for the European Parliament.
Euro'en er hovedemnet på Parla­mentets næste samlinger. Den 29.­30. april er en betænkning om konvergenskriterierne på dagsor­denen.
Basically the word is used to describe the committee procedure used for implementing EU legislation which at a national level in Britain and Ireland, for example, would be carried out by statutory instruments.
Parlamentet mødes ek­straordinært den 2. maj for at afgi­ve udtalelse om, hvilke lande der kan komme med i euro'en.
An illustration of the importance of the procedure can be seen in safety legislation relating to dangerous substances such as biocides where the Commission was planning to decide on which chemicals would be listed through the commitology procedure, without parliamentary scrutiny.
Sene­re samme dag træffer stats­ og regeringscheferne den endelige afgørelse.
Parliament's only means of influencing the legislation has been to insist on a committee procedure that gives more leeway to the Commission, which, in turn, is subject to more parliamentary scrutiny than is the case with Council.
Kommissær Neil Kinnock var glad for støtten til mange af Kom­missionens forslag.
A compromise was agreed in 1994 under which Parliament receives details of all implementing measures with the Commission obliged to report to it.
Vi er alle eni­ge om, at sikkerhedsseler skal an­vendes, også af personer, der sid­der på bagsædet, sagde kommis­særen.
MEPs want to ensure that important issues are not hidden in the detail, but disputes still rumble on and are a regular feature of conciliation meetings.

0.2mg/ml, along with Britain, also has the best accident record with just six deaths per 100,000 compared with Portugal, whose figure is 29 per 100,000, the worst.

Det er de muligheder, mange fodbold fans har, hvis de vil overvære ver densmesterskaberne i fodbold her til sommer.
THIS week in Strasbourg MEPs voted to amend proposed EU legislation on safety at sea.
Rejsearrangørerne har fået monopol på en stor del af billetterne.
The draft legislation would require ferry companies to compile lists of passengers.
Fodboldforbundene -især det franske - og sponsorer har sat sig på broderparten.
It would apply on journeys longer than 33km and therefore include cross­Channel ferry companies.
Kun 6,3% af de mere end toenhalv million billetter bliver sat til salg til den brede offentlighed.
MEPs supported an amendment by Mark Watts (Kent West, PES) to include Channel Tunnel car trains within the scope of the proposal.
I overensstemmelse med konkurrencereglerne er der en be stemt procedure, som Kommissionen skal følge, når den vurderer, at der er problemer, sagde Van Miert.
Mr Watts argued that the proposal would place a substantial burden on ferry companies which were operating In a highly competitive market, and would place them at a disadvantage vis­à­vis the Channel Tunnel.
Vi var ikke tilfredse med arrangørernes svar, hvorfor Kom missionen i januar sendte en officiel varslingsskrivelse, oplyste han.
He also believed that a passenger list on Eurostar trains would help rescue services in the event of another tunnel fire but another amendment designed to achieve this was unsuccessful.
En økonomisk aktivitet som salg af fodboldbilletter falder ind under almindelig lovgivning.
Anne Mcintosh (Essex North and Suffolk South, EPP) also believed that extending the legislation to the Channel Tunnel was the minimum necessary to secure a level playing field.
Europa-Kommissionen har helt ret, når den kræver EU's konkurrenceregler overholdt.
However, Commissioner Neil Kinnock was unable to accept the amendment.
Europa-Parlamentet støtter Kommissionens kamp mod billet-monopolerne.
He argued that to include the Channel Tunnel within the proposed legislation would delay its implementation.
Har man gode forbindelser, eller vil man betale overprisen hos billethajerne, kan man få en plads her på »Stade de France«.

Multiple pile­ups like this are still far too common cent to one per cent of GDP.
Også når det gælder Formel-1 løb, vil Kommissionen holde fast i EU's konkurrenceregler, sagde han.
The cost of each person killed in traffic accidents therefore comes out at Eculm.
Det salgssystem, som arrangørerne af VM i Frankrig har anvendt, kan sidestilles med misbrug af en dominerende stilling på markedet, mener Parlamentet.
THE introduction of the euro is likely to have the greatest immediate impact on tourism In Europe as holidaymakers will be able to compare prices at a glance.
VM i fodbold er en sportsbegivenhed, der vækker interesse i hele verden og bør være tilgængelig for alle interesserede uden nogen diskrimination, både når det gælder fordeling af billetter og med hensyn til billet priser.
Robin Teverson (Cornwall and West Plymouth, ELDR) warned that hotels and guest houses In Britain faced with a 17.5 per cent VAT rate could lose out to countries such as France and Luxembourg, where the rates are much lower.
Kommissæren gav Europa-Parlamentet en detaljeret beskrivelse af fordelingen af billetterne til de for skellige forbund, organisationer og sponsorer.
Mr Teverson wants tax harmonisation to accompany the introduction of a single currency to ensure a level playing field and welcomed a new attempt by finance ministers to look at an issue that has seen little progress over the past ten years in view of the resistance of national treasuries.
Hidtil har der kun været et enkelt salgssted med en enkelt telefonlinie i Frankrig, hvor man kunne købe billetter, bemærkede Van Miert.
Indeed, the duty free lobby in trying to persuade ministers to reverse the decision to abolish duty free in 1999 has focused on the differences in tax rates on cigarettes and alcohol as a reason for retaining duty free.
Vi har insisteret på, at de sidste 160.000 billetter skal bruges til frit salg, hvor de nationale forbund skal have ca. 50.000, mens 110.000 skal sæt tes til frit salg uden for Frankrig, sagde han.
The issue was raised at a recent meeting of transport ministers.
Kommissæren kritiserede, at en sportsminister havde forsøgt at forhindre Kommissionen i at gribe ind og varetage sin opgave som konkurrencereglernes vogter.
Parliament wants to reduce the number of deaths to a maxi­mum of 25,000 before 2010 by tightening drink­driving laws through setting a blood alcohol limit of 0.5mg/ml, harmonising speed limits, and introducing more safety features in the design of roads and cars.
Man må forstå, at unionsborgerskabet betyder en række rettigheder, sagde han.
The jury is still out, however, on whether or not it is necessary for other EU countries to fol­low the Swedish example and have daytime lights on cars.
Der kan ikke diskrimineres mellem unionsborgerne, hvorfor alle uanset nationalitet skal have de samme muligheder for at købe en billet til VM i Frankrig.
ported the actions of a number of member states, including Britain, which have already set specific target figures for reduc­ing accidents.
Kommissær Van Miert under stregede, at Kommissionen ikke er tilfreds med det svar, de franske VM-arrangører har givet, og han oplyste, at Kommissionen arbejder videre med sagen.
He put forward a series of initiatives that he con­sidered would help to achieve this ambitious objective.
Hvis arrangørerne ikke bøjer sig i retning af vores synspunkter, vil vi fortsætte, og om nødvendigt ¡dømme en bøde, sluttede kom missæren.
He called for an EU target for the use of seat belts which he believes would cut annual fatal­ities by 7,000, and a ban on sales of alcohol at motorway service stations. Mr
