THE EUROPEAN Parliament's role in the decision­making process has increased significantly over recent years.
De to nuværende globale satellitsystemer er stadigvæk under USA's og Ruslands militære kontrol.
The European Parliament can also call the Commission to account.
Det er baggrunden for, at Kom missionen har udarbejdet en meddelelse om en europæisk strategi for globale navigationssatellitsystemer (GNSS). Under debatten glædede Christian Rovsing (Konservative) sig over, at det er lykkedes Kommissionen og Rådet at nå til enighed om en strategi, der fastholder den

Selv om en be tragtelig offentlig finansiering kan vise sig at være nødvendig, tvivlede Christian Rovsing ikke på, at besparelserne i de nye infrastrukturprojekter sagtens kan betale for væsentlige dele af etableringen af GNSS.

Det er utroligt vigtigt, at Kommissionen, Rådet og Parlamentet er med til at skabe en europæisk profil på dette om råde, sagde han.
This role as co­legislator with EU member states through the Council of Ministers is now to be extended by the Amsterdam Treaty.
Udvikling begynder med en holdningsændring
I Green Group in the European Parliament
Parlamentet og Rådet er dybt uenige om, hvordan fremtidens eu ropæiske kulturhovedstæder skal udvælges.
Another breakthrough was achieved when ministers eventually agreed to delete a clause on the technical specifications for motorcycles that would have obliged bik­ers to purchase certain brands of lyres.
Derfor vedtog Parlamentet en hensigtserklæring om at forkaste Rådets fælles holdning, da sagen var til andenbehandling under januarsamlingen.
While at first glance it seems difficult to understand why ministers were defending what was essentially a protectionist posi­tion, it is important to realise that all Ihesc proposals arc subject to intensive lobby­ing, especially by industry, with a view to protecting specific economic interests.
Den fælles holdning adskilte sig så meget fra Kommissionens op rindelige forslag, at Parlamentet følte sig sat ud af spillet.
But perhaps the most spectacular break­through occurred at the end of the UK Pres­idency in June 1998 when an alliance between the British government and MEPs pushed through sirici new environmenl laws obliging motor manufacturers to meet lough new emission standards.
Kommissionen ønsker helt konkret at støtte udviklingen af frie, uafhængige medier.
Parliament's committees • Parliament works through 20 standing committees ranging from agriculture to eco­nomic affairs.
Derfor ønsker man at styrke uddannelsen af journalister, sikre bedre adgang til informationskilder og eventuelt også at etablere et udvekslingsprogram for personale i nord og syd.
These are composed of MEPs according to the political strength of the groups and scrutinise proposals for legis­lation, quiz Commissioners and Council Ministers before tabling amendments which are voted in committee and then sent for approval, rejection or further re­draft­ing by the full House of 626 members.
Heri var Parlamentet også enig og mener, at frie medier er en helt grundlæggende forudsætning for udviklingen af den demokratiske proces og respekten for menneskerettigheder.

Kommissionen havde oprindeligt foreslået at indføre en fælles skabsprocedure med en uafhængig jury til at behandle ansøgningerne, hvorefter Rådet sammen med Parlamentet skulle udvælge kulturhovedstaden.
As PES leader Pauline Green (London North) put it, "My group will not allow in­dividuals, whether they be Commission­ers orjunior officials to be tried by the press, but I want to make it perfectly clear that if accusations against any individual are proven ­ no matter how powerful or how lowly, no matter what gender, no matter what political affiliation ­ we will demand that they be held to account."
I Rådets holdning er den uafhængige jury er stattet af et rådgivende panel, og Rådet opstiller allerede nu en liste over de lande, der efter tur kan indstille byer i perioden 20042019.
The waters were further muddied by statements from Commissioners such as Manuel Marin, re­sponsible for development policy where there is evidence of fraud in the food aid sector, that he had never covered up fraud and indeed had taken all the necessary ac­tion when alerted to the problems.
Allerede nu er for handlingerne om den næste konvention i gang, og meget passende har Kommissionen fremlagt en meddelelse om udfordringerne i partnerskabet mellem EU og AVS-staterne (landene under Lo-mé-konventionen).
At the time, the founding fa­thers were concerned that to allow Parlia­ment to bring just one Commissioner to account would leave individuals exposed without political protection, hence the stipulation that it is all or nothing.
I meddelelsen definerer Kommissionen, hvad EU lægger I begreber som menneskerettigheder, demokrati, retsstat og god regeringsførelse.
Some 40 years on, it is this dilemma that MEPs were forced to grapple with, as many would have preferred the option of singling oui just one or two individual Commissioners.
Re spekt for disse begreber og principper er nemlig en grundlæggende forudsætning for udvikling og er allerede nævnt i den nuværende Lomé-konvention.
In addition, il will lake an in­depth look at Commission procedures for following up allegations of fraud, mismanagement and nepotism and lhe way in which lhe Com­mission deals with internal cases of fraud involving EU officials.
Heri slås det fast, at samarbejdet mellem EU og de 71 lande i Afrika, Caribien og Stillehavsområdet afhænger af, at menneskerettighederne og de grundlæggende frihedsrettigheder overholdes, og at befolkningerne tager del i udviklingsprocessen.
The findings of the special enquiry com­mittee into BSE for example, led to pro­posals for lough new laws on food, health and a complete re­organisation of internal management within the Commission and the establishment of a new unii responsi­ble for animal and human health.

Foreign Policy ally considered as safe havens for those subjected to persecution, appear to have done everything in their power to deter applicants for asylum from trav­elling to Europe".
Samtidig slår Kommissionen fast, at principperne skal tilpasses de enkelte landes kultur og tradition, for det er ikke meningen, at netop EU's definitioner skal gælde for alle.
the EPP made it clear that this doesn't mean a centralised superstate.
Definitionen er lavet for at gøre en dialog om principperne mulig og i fællesskab finde en vej til at føre dem ud i livet.
Instead, it favours a sharing of responsibilities be­tween the member states, the EU, and re­gional and local authorities.

Også kurderne og shiitterne var i fokus under debatten: Parlamentet opfordrede internationale styrker i området til at opretholde de flyveforbudszoner, der netop er til for at beskytte disse to be folkningsgrupper, som lever i hen holdsvis det nordlige og det sydlige Irak.
The document set out 21 commitments for the elections including the completion of the single market for business, the pro­motion of citizens' rights and improving opportunities for young people.

Although the number of applica­tions to EU countries has in fact dropped over recent years Mrs Lindeperg put this down to the more restrictive immigra­tion policy of member states and not to any improvement in the human rights situation in the world.
Rådet og Kommissionen opfordres også til at bestræbe sig på at støtte den demokratiske opposition i Irak.
"There has been a deterioration in asylum policy in Europe," she conclud­ed, calling for member states to respect basic fundamental values and to do more than pay lip­service to the Geneva Con­vention which aims to safeguard the sta­tus of refugees.
Den rigtige måde at svække Saddam Hussein på er at støtte de demokratiske bevægelser i Irak, at ophæve sanktionerne og at hjælpe befolkningen med at gen opbygge demokratiet.

Topmødet i Køln skal efter planen afholdes den 3. og 4. juni 1999, og stats- og regeringscheferne skal blive enige om, hvem de vil indstille til posten som formand for Europa-Kommissionen.
IN AN atmosphere of heightened pub­lic concern about what is seen as an ever increasing flood of asylum seekers, Michele Lindeperg (F, PES) stood up this month for the rights of refugees, argu­ing that European asylum policy had be­come more repressive in recent years.
Valget til Europa-Parlamentet finder sted ugen efter (den 10. juni i Danmark), og Parlamentet mener der for, at hvis datoen for topmødet fastholdes, vil indstillingen af Kommissionens formand ikke kunne finde sted ved denne lejlighed.

Der er meget store forskelle, sagde hun og understregede, at det ikke er målet at ændre i de enkelte landes bestemmelser, men derimod at skabe et regelsæt og en ny kultur for åbenhed og gennemskuelighed inden for EU's institutioner.
If accepted by the member states, new measures to provide payments for artists through a levy on blank tapes and other recording equipment, as happens in most EU states but not in the UK and Ireland, will have to be introduced.

Parliament approved legislation designed to drastically reduce the amount of waste going into landfill tips over a 15-20 year period.
Åbenhed og gennemskuelighed vil også begrænse mulighederne for korruption og magtmisbrug.

"All councils want to promote re cycling, but most schemes still deal with relatively small percentages of waste. This EU directive will kickstart schemes for recycling and re using waste.
