Another area of difficulty is that member states interpret the legal status of the Kosovan refugees in different ways.

This has resulted in a confusing patchwork of different protection regimes and widely differing legal and social rights for Kosovan refugees staying in different member states.

In addition to broad support for Nato ac tion and condemnation for the "barbarities" of President Milosevic, Council President German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer painted a grim picture of the situation in the region where, he said, there were now a to tal of 850,000 displaced persons.

Det meste af Europa­Parlamen­tets arbejde foregår i udvalg.
One point of contention was that Parliament had not been consulted about the common strategy, and Mr Spencer wanted to ensure that in future the Council of Ministers would involve MEPs, as he argued that this was a fundamental element of the common foreign and security policy.
Der er 20 udvalg med hvert deres eks­pertiseområder.
Nevertheless, in this instance the House decided not to recommend a delay in the adoption of the strategy as it was felt that to do so would send out the wrong message to Russia at what is a sensitive time.
Der findes udvalg om fiskeri, miljø, beskæftigelse osv. Udvalgene består af repræ­sentanter fra Parlamentets for­skellige politiske grupper.
In the debate MEPs recognised the problems faced by Russia in its economic and political transition from a "hyper-centralised state, dominated by a single party, to a more decentralised state".

The legislation arises from demands for change from MEPs, following high-profile cases of fraud, with investors left with no means of redress after purchasing dubious investments from companies registered in other countries.

IN THE aftermath of the allegations of serious irregularities within the Commission that led to the mass resignation of the Commissioners, MEPs this month gave the goahead to a revamped and strengthened EU anti-fraud office.
Alle medlem­mer skal desuden have adgang til alle dokumenter på deres natio­nale sprog.
Herbert Bosch (A. PES) saw the creation of the new office as a major step forward in the fight against "fraud, mismanagement and cronyism".

The new EU anti-fraud office will have a similar status to the Serious Fraud Office in the UK and will be known as OLAF, after its French initials ("Office de lutte antifraude").
110 sprogkombinationer er der i alt.
OLAF will take over all the tasks of its predecessor UCLAF, but will have a much wider remit.
Hvert sprog har under samlinger­ne tre tolke placeret i en boks, og de sørger for at kæde sprogene sammen.
