Monday 14 March - The House adopted this resolution on proposals to protect natural resources in development cooperation.
I begyndelsen af januar har Kommissionen således vedtaget en hvidbog om fødevaresikkerhed, hvori der foreslås etableret en europæisk fødevaremyndighed, indførelse af principper for fødevaresikkerhed samt sporings-, kontrol- og nødprocedurer i alle led af "jord-til-bord"-kæden.
A number of amendments from the committee were adopted including one that would raise the financial framework from 63 million Euro to 249 million Euro for the 2000 -2006 period.
Kommissionen vil arbejde for at få gennemført sit program, der indebærer en omfattende reform af levnedsmiddellovgivningen.
In the debate it had been argued that such a sum took account of the difficult budgetary situation in 2000 and also guaranteed a "critical mass" which is required for the projects in this area.
Endelig skal der gøres en særlig indsats for at øge forbrugerbeskyttelsen og styrke folkesundheden.
Monday 14 March - Parliament voted in favour of proposals designed to cut back waste discharges at sea from cargo ships by providing waste facilities at ports.
Der vil derfor i indeværende år blive udarbejdet et detaljeret forslag til etablering af et europæisk fødevareagentur, sluttede kommissionsformanden.
A number of amendments from the Committee were adopted including one that would require all ships calling at a member state port to contribute at least 90 percent of the costs irrespective of actual use of the facilities.
De planlagte tiltag omfatter en intern reform i Kommissionen, større gennemsigtighed og åbenhed samt gennemførelse af regeringskonferencen.
Monday 14 March - MEPs voted to approve the common position designed to put in place UK style on the spot road side checks on lorries across the EU.

Two amendments were adopted including one that would required member states to introduce tough penalties on vehicle not up to scratch.
Kommissionsformanden, Romano PRODI, indledte med at fremhæve sine umiddelbare prioriteringer, nemlig udvidelsen, fornyelsen af Kommissionen samt regeringskonferencen.
Support for Charter on basic rights (A5-0064/2000 - Duff, Voggenhubber)
Hans-Gert POETTERING (PPEDE, D) understregede, at EU handler om at forene de europæiske nationers interesser.
Tuesday 14 March - Opening the debate designed to lay down Parliament's priorities to be included in the new Charter of Fundamental Rights, Andrew DUFF (ELDR, Eastern).
Derfor beklagede han meget den fremgangsmåde, som EU-formandskabet i øjeblikket benytter over for en enkelt medlemsstat.
There was a need for such a Charter as to protect the citizens from any abuse of power at an EU level, to help European integration and the constitutional process and to strengthen the EU's democratic legitimacy.
Han tilføjede, at man fra PPE-DE-gruppens side i denne sammenhæng nøje vil følge Kommissionens arbejde som traktatens vogter og som garant for overholdelse af europæisk ret.
He emphasised that respect for such rights should be based on the existing European Convention on Human Rights and the EU should sign up to this convention.
Programmet er desuden direkte tilgængeligt på Internettet.
He urged colleagues not to be too preoccupied with subsidiarity.
I arbejdsprogrammet har man prioriteret områder som miljo. energi, forbrugerbeskyttelse, transport og retsvæsen, bemærkede kommissionsformanden.
The Charter should reflect the needs of modem European society and be subject to the jurisdiction of the court.
Såfremt opgaverne bedre kan loses på europæisk plan, er Kommissionen imidlertid forpligtet til at fremsætte forslag herom, navnlig på opfordring fra Parlamentet, sluttede Hans-Gert POETTERING (PPEDE, D).
For the Commission Antonio VITORINO welcomed Parliament's contribution.
Der vil således blive fremsat forslag til forbedring af samarbejdet mellem ordensmyndighederne på
He took the view that the Charter marked a new stage in the EU's development.
Borgerne leder kun efter Europa i Bruxelles og i Kommissionens regi, sagde Hannes SWOBODA
The idea behind the Charter, he explained was to put together for the first time rights enshrined at both a European and national level.
Nyt fra Parlamentet - Marts-Il 2000
He expected Parliament and the Commission to be the major driving forces and although he
virksomhed. I realiteten indebærer programmet en radikal centralisering, hvor nye lovgivningsområder flytter fra de nationale og regionale parlamenter i medlemslandene til Kommissionen og Rådet i Bruxelles, sagde han.
supported the aim of seeing the EU sign up at the European Convention, he felt that his question should be addressed to the IGC rather than those responsible for drawing up the text of the new Charter.
Jens-Peter BONDE karakteriserede denne udvikling som ren Orwell. Til overskriften decentralisering, centraliserer man. Til overskriften demokrati, afdemokratiserer man. Til overskriften om mere åbenhed, foreslår Kommissionen en forordning, som vil lukke dokumenter, der i dag er åbne, sagde han.
In the context of the Charter, consideration should be given to including social and economic rights as well as providing basic guarantees for individual liberty.
Beslutningsforslagene fra de politiske grupper minder mest af alt om alenlange dosmersedler, sagde Diana WALLIS (ELDR, UK). Hun mente, at EU i stedet skal koncentrere sig om kerneområderne og om at være nærmere på borgerne.
Joke SWIEBEL (PES, Nl) for the Women's Rights Committee called for mainstreaming of equal opportunities to be incorporated into every area of policy and for the Treaty to have a general ban on gender based discrimination.
Paul LANNOYE (Verts/ALE, B) mente, at det omfattende arbejdsprogram er mangelfuldt på det sociale område.
Janelly FOURTOU (EPP/ED, F) for the Petitions Committee highlighted the failure of the EU to accord proper rights to petitioners.
Gruppen ønsker, at Kommissionen skal reagere hurtigere på Parlamentets anmodninger om lovgivningsinitiativer.
She believed that the Charter must have a high profile as a reference text for citizens and for it to be legally binding.
Jens-Peter BONDE mindede om, at kommissionsformanden har afgivet et højtideligt løfte om en helt ny indstilling til åbenhed.
Support for the Charter came from speakers such as Iñigo MÉNDEZ DE VIGO (EPP/ED, E) who believed that the Charter could supplement rights already enjoyed by the EU's citizens.
Det er elementært i et demokrati, at den udøvende magt tjener vælgerne og de folkevalgte, sagde han.
It should not be just a vague, empty declaration, he said, but should be incorporated into the Treaties.
På Formandskonferencen har man derfor besluttet at indkalde Ombudsmanden og Romano PRODI til en samtale om åbenhed.
Bob VAN DEN BOS (ELDR, NL) wanted national constitutions to remain intact, while the Charter would provide a firm foundation for basic human rights and bolster the Strasbourg Convention on human rights.
Jeg håber, at kommissionsformanden vil stå ved sit ord og beklage, at Kommissionens tjenestegrene ikke har levet op til løfterne om åbenhed, sluttede Jens-Peter BONDE.
Alima BOUMEDIENE-THIERY (Greens/EFA, F) wanted to include the future Charter in the Treaties and stressed the need to ensure that there were no different classes of citizenship - such as different voting rights.
Lucio MANISCO (GUE/NGL, I) var utilfreds med programmets ideologiske indhold, navnlig tendensen til at bruge USA som forbillede.
Sylvia-Yvonne KAUFMANN (EUL/NGL, D) too welcomed the Charter, arguing that it would help strengthen democracy and make rights tangible and visible to citizens.
Endvidere fandt han, at EU begår en fejl ved at gennemføre en forhastet udvidelse.
She believed that it should apply to everyone and be part of the Treaty.
Det er vigtigt, at der i år gennemføres en reform af EU's beslutningsprocesser, sagde Pat the Cope GALLAGHER (UEN, IRL).
A different note was struck by speakers such as Georges BERTHU (UEN, F) who argued that a Charter would reduce fundamental rights.
Han ønskede at styrke de mindre medlemsstaters repræsentation i EU's beslutningsstruktur, herunder en fastholdelse af retten til at udpege kommissærer.
It would simply be an excuse for bringing in a European superstate, he argued, and move citizens further away from the fora where their rights should be defined.
Endelig ønskede han at bevare vetoretten i bl.a. skattespørgsmål.
It was, he concluded, simply another excuse to makes rights uniform across the EU and would give rise to problems such as those that had already occurred with the hunters in France and other minority groups.
(16/3) Parlamentet vedtog et beslutningsforslag, hvori det støtter Kommissionens bestræbelser på at udvikle en kapacitet inden for konfliktforebyggelse og krisestyring for at opfylde de nye målsætninger i Amsterdam-traktaten.
Francesco SPERONI (TGI, I) wanted voters to have the right to vote for whichever party they wanted without having this sabotaged - such as had happened in Austria - a point that was later taken up by Gerhard HAGER (IND/A).
I den forbindelse opfordres Kommissionen til at indlede en debat om EU's repræsentation udadtil, som på effektiv måde bør imødekomme behovene for en fremtidig fælles udenrigspolitik.
Rijk VAN DAM (EDD, Nl) believed that rights could be best protected though member states.
En dag vil vælgerne sige som den lille dreng i H.C. Andersens eventyr om Kejserens Nye Klæder: "Jamen, han har jo ingenting på!", understregede Jens-Peter BONDE.
Neil MacCORMICK (Greens/EFA, Scotland) was concerned that the Charter could overload the European Court of Justice and the legal edifice that it had constructed.
Parlamentet kræver regelmæssigt at blive informeret om tiltrædelsesforhandlingerne med de tolv ansøgerlande.
Brian CROWLEY (UEN, Munster) echoed some of these concerns and believed that the report was seeking to square a circle that could not be squared.
Samtidig opfordres Kommissionen til at udvikle en strategi, som søger at tilvejebringe stabilitet og udvikling i de lande, der støder op til det udvidede EU, navnlig Rusland, Ukraine. Moldova og Belarus samt landene i Kaukasus.
He predicted a potential conflict between the Charter and the Strasbourg convention on Human Rights and warned that any EU legislation would supercede any pre-existing national legislation.
Han henviste til, at kommissionsformanden i februar talte for en radikal decentralisering af EU's
He believed that the Convention should be incorporated into EU law.
Den eksisterende lovgivning giver allerede nu Fællesskabet de fornødne beføjelser til at træffe afgørelser på disse områder.
The UK had led the rest of the world in the abolition of slavery without any charter, he said.
Det er alene tanken at ændre på selve beslutningsproceduren, og kun på de områder, der direkte vedrører det indre markeds funktion, og som bl.a. kan give anledning til konkurrencefordrejning.
This line was followed by his fellow peer Lord INGLEWOOD (EPP/ED, North West) who considered that the crucial matter was not the existence of a Charter but the proper safeguarding of the rights of citizens.
Kommissionen opfordres til at overveje nye lovgivningsinitiativer til bekæmpelse af skadelig skattekonkurrence mellem medlemsstaterne.
He believed that the correct approach was to "run with the grain " of the established legal mechanism in member states and to come forward with a directive and not a regulation.
Parlamentet afventer således med stor interesse Kommissionens meddelelse om en beskat­ningsstrategi.
The UK, he stressed, had a very different tradition and even the current government had serious doubts about the proposals.
Kommissionen opfordres til at fremsætte konkrete lovgivningsforslag med henblik på i højere grad at integrere miljøaspektet i forbindelse med den fælles landbrugs­ og fiskeripolitik, herunder klare bestemmelser om forsigtighedsprincippet.
Support for the Charter came from David MARTIN (PES, Scotland) who argued that a Community of common values based on democracy needed a Charter but the real question was what status it should enjoy.
Formålet er at bevare og videreudvikle de eksisterende systemer med henblik på at alle kan få mest muligt ud af det indre marked i et udvidet EU, sagde kommissæren.
The team of 60 politicans drawing up the Charter needed to identify the gaps in existing rights.
Beslutningstagen med kvalificeret flertal skal derfor kun ske, hvor det virkeligt er nødvendigt, idet enstemmighed skal benyttes, hvor det er at foretrække.
Dana Rosemary SCALLON (EPP/ED, Connacht-Ulster) expressed the fear that the Charter would override national constitutions.
Kommissionens forslag er baseret på følgende tre principper:
She stressed in particular the importance of best practice and underlining the rights and benefits of the traditional family unit.
Parlamentet glæder sig over de mange programmer vedrorende miljøet, fødevaresikkerheden, folkesundheden og forbrugertilliden.
Replying for Council Francesco Seixas DA COSTA argued that the Charter would help to overcome diversity and that it was not simply a system of safeguards for those who had newly arrived in the EU.
Det understreger imidlertid, at der i højere grad er behov for kvalitet end for kvantitet.
It would, he stressed, provide "added value" and a "super guarantee" of rights.
Enstemmighed skal fortsat være reglen på områderne beskatning og social sikring;
There could not be a new area of legal uncertainty and the rights of citizens must be made more apparent.
Kvalificeret flertal skal anvendes, hvor det er nødvendigt med særligt henblik på det indre markeds funktion;
He did stress that it needed to take account of the EU's needs as there was currently a risk of not deepening the Community at a political level.
Kommissionen opfordres til at forbedre politikken vedrørende retlige og indre anliggender i tæt samarbejde med Parlamentet for bl.a. at sikre, at beslutningsprocessen i fremtiden giver mulighed for en tilbundsgående kontrol med de forskellige politikker og deres konsekvenser.
In conclusion Antonio VITORINO for the Commission stressed that there would be input from both the EU and member states in drawing up the Charter.
EU skal for fremtiden vælge det mest hensigtsmæssige instrument på dette område under hensyntagen til nærhedsprincippet.
He believed that the Charter should be integrated into the Treaties.
Det kan f.eks. være gennem koordinering, ved fastsættelse af minimalbestemmelser eller ved en egentlig harmonisering.
However its legal nature would be decided at the Nice summit later in the year.
Endelig insisterer Parlamentet på, at der snarest muligt gennemførtes en langsigtet reform af Kommissionen for at genoprette offentlighedens tillid til EU­institutionerne.
There was, he said, no contradiction between the Charter and the Strasbourg Convention.
I den forbindelse kræves der mere åbenhed i overensstemmelse med ånden fra Amsterdam­traktaten.
Indeed the Council of Europe which had drawn up the Convention was in favour of the Charter.
Kommissionen går ind for at anvende kvalificeret flertal på skatteområdet med henblik på at bekæmpe svig og skatteunddragelse, både for så vidt angår de direkte som de indirekte skatter.
He stressed that the EC's Court of Justice always referred to the European Court of Human Rights.
Det er dog hensigten at forenkle lovgivningen på skatteområdet i betydelig grad.
In conclusion the commissioner believed that the Charter would do away with the fears of a European superstate that was a threat to liberties.
Det er samtidig hensigten at koordinere bestemmelserne vedrørende social sikring, navnlig med henblik på at beskytte de vandrende arbejdstagere og studerende i EU, sluttede Michel BARNIER.
MEPs subsequently approved a resolution which lays down Parliament's priorities for the new convention drafting the Charter of Fundamental Rights with a number of amendments.
(14/3) Kommissær Michel BARNIER oplyste, at der fra Kommissionens side er udarbejdet et supplerende bidrag til regeringskonferencen om institutionelle reformer.
The idea is to lay down a set of rights shared between EU member states but not replacing existing ones.
Det drejer sig om anvendelse af beslutningstagen med kvalificeret flertal i forbindelse med det indre marked på områderne beskatning og social sikring.
These rights should not however impinge on existing rights under national legislation and the intention is for the EU to sign up to the European Convention on Human Rights, so as to avoid any possible conflict here.
Helle THORNING-SCHMIDT (Socialdemo­kratiet) sagde, at hun er særdeles imponeret over de
There would also be a role for the European Court of Justice.
Unionen har en lang række værdier, vi fremmer udadtil, sagde Francesco SELKAS DE COSTA.
He confined his remarks to saying he favoured QMV for taxation issues which affected the smooth running of the single market, especially with enlargement in mind.
Vi ønsker, at gå fremad, men ønsker også, at vi tidligere havde gjort mere, sagde han.
While David MARTIN (PES, Scotland) could go along with the idea in general and urged the Commission to tread carefully on these sensitive issues.
Der er dog håb, forholdene forbedres, f.eks. er det nu sværere for landene at skjule deres gerninger, og personer, der overtræder disse værdier skal forstå, at det gøres ikke ustraffet, sluttede han.
Theresa VILLIERS (EPP/ED, London) protested that the Commission would not answer her questions as to whether his aim was to apply QMV to the withholding tax, corporation tax and tax on aircraft fuels.
betragtninger, efter hvilke det bl.a. er foreslået at anvende kvalificeret flertal på forhold, der vedrører beskyttelse af arbejdstagere.
Mr Barnier did say that he favoured QMV for environmental taxes where there were possible distortions of competition and retaining unanimity for the country of origin, principal for VAT.
Hun spurgte derfor, om Kommissionen har til hensigt at gå imod formandskabets indstilling på dette område.
He also supported QMV for minimum social standards and other social issues which for example affected cross-frontier workers, albeit on the understanding that social security remained primarily the responsibility of the member states.
Konventionen blev underskrevet for 50 år siden, og kommissær Poul NIELSON bifaldt det store arbejde som humanitære organisationer som f.eks. Røde Kors har udført.
The Geneva Convention on humanitarian law - 50 years on
Kommissær BARNIER svarede, at det sociale aspekt er meget væsentligt, navnlig med hensyn til borgere fra tredjelande, som ønskes omfattet af socialpolitikken.
Wednesday 15 March - Opening the debate on the 50th anniversary of the declaration of the Geneva Convention on Humanitarian Law, the President in office Mr. Seixas DA COSTA stressed that there was still much abuse of civilians' rights across the world.
Kommissionen har derfor foreslået en omstrukturering af den relevante lovgivning, således at de områder, der vedrører beskyttelse af arbejdstagere og som er relevante for det indre markeds funktion, skal være underlagt kvalificeret flertal.
In particular he was unhappy that humanitarian organisations such as the Red Cross were unable to carry out their work effectively because of obstacles placed in their way.
Over de sidste 10 år er der dræbt 10 gange så mange civile som soldater under krige. Dette tal var omtrent omvendt under 1. verdenskrig.
However, he expressed some hope that a new international set of principles and values were taking over.
Grunden er, at krige udkæmpes under anarkistiske og ustabile forhold, der ikke er kontrolleret af regeringer.
He stressed in particular the need to prosecute war criminals and strengthen humanitarian law.
Fælles beslutningsforslag B5-0233/2000/RC1 af PPE-DE, PSE, ELDR, Verts/ALE og GUE/NGL
In the subsequent debate, there was general support for Mr Da Costa's words.
Kommissæren fremhævede, at muligheden for at yde humanitær hjælp til befolkningen forudsætter, at den lokale regering giver tilladelse.
Miguel Angel MARTÍNEZ-MARTÍNEZ (PES, E) emphasised the need to ensure the protection of the vulnerable and the key role that the EU had to play in this area.
Dette er en alvorlig krænkelse af det humanistiske princip og har mange civile ofre på samvittigheden, sagde han
Graham WATSON (ELDR, South West) argued that the day of the signing of the Geneva Convention would have been marked by the ancient Romans with a red stone as an extremely auspicious event.
For at ændre dette kan man ændre konventionen, så det bliver fastlagt, at befolkningen har ret til at modtage nødhjælp, og man kan forbedre de instrumenter, der er til rådighed for at sikre, at konventionen overholdes, sluttede Poul NIELSON.
However, he believed that if the EU were to become a community of values, it would need to push for the creation of an international criminal court.
(15/3) Den fungerende rådsformand, den portugisiske statssekretær Francesco SEIXAS DE COSTA, sagde, at underskrivelse af Genève­konventionen var udtryk for en stor bekymring efter 2.
Matti WUORI (Greens/EFA, FIN) stressed the EU's moral imperative to defend and develop democracy and he underlined the importance of the Ottawa Convention on anti personnel mines.
Verdenskrig, hvor det var vigtigt at styrke personers position i krigszoner, hvor der skal opretholdes etiske normer.
Mariotto SEGNI (UEN, I) believed that Parliament should condemn Russia more over Chechnya and was unhappy with Tony BLAIR's visit to Russia where he had "embraced and encouraged" the Russian leader Mr PUTIN.
(16/3) Parlamentet vedtog et beslutningsforslag, hvori det opfordrer medlemsstaterne til at fremme værdierne i Genève­konventionerne, og til at sikre, at kendskabet til den humanitære folkeret udbredes
Baroness Emma NICHOLSON (ELDR, South East) drew attention to the fate of Kuwaiti prisoners of war held in Iraq and argued that economic sanctions on Baghdad should not be lifted while their fate remained uncertain.

Rådet i samfundet, navnlig blandt medlemmerne af de væbnede styrker.
John Walls CUSHNAHAN (EPP/EDD, Munster) wondered what the EU and member states were doing to give expression to these principles that were being enunciated.
Kommissionen og medlemsstaterne opfordres til at udvikle uddannelsesprogrammer og informationskampagner for at fremme de grundlæggende principper i den humanitære folkeret som nedfældet i Genève-konventionerne.
They should be sending out a message that those guilty of crimes would be judged, he said, and argued that the Pinochet case set an important precedent.
Eurodac er alene beregnet til implementering af Dublinkonventionen, sagde han. Forvaltningen af systemet skal foretages af en central enhed under oprettelse i Kommissionen, tilføjede han.
However, it was essential to determine whether or not the Geneva Convention should be revised either by renewing it or by improving compliance with existing principles.
Rådsformanden afviste at have anmodet om udarbejdelse af et nyt forslag. Der er tale om en vis uenighed i Rådet om nogle af Parlamentets ændringsforslag.
In adopting the subsequent resolution, Parliament called on the member states to promote the humanitarian values that the Geneva Convention seeks to apply to times of armed conflict.
Så snart disse problemer er løst, vil resultatet blive forelagt Parlamentet til godkendelse, understregede han.
It also urged member states and the Commission to support education programmes and campaigns to promote the elementary principles of international humanitarian law contained in the Convention.
