The Week its total time, Council had confirmed opposition to racism, he said.

the EU's external borders to combat illegal immigration.
EU: Pålidelig partner!
Relations with the USA
EP understreger, at EU bør bestræbe sig på at være en konsekvent, pålidelig og effektiv partner for USA i NATO-sammenhæng.
For the Greens, Jean LAMBERT (London) too recognised the need for respect for law and order, but added that immigration should be seen as an essential feature of international economic relations and a development issue.
Man mener, at en forbedring af den militære kapacitet kræver tilstrækkeligt store forsvarsbudgetter og en rationalisering af forsvarsindsatsen.
In addition to introducing controls at borders, it was vital to understand why asylum seekers and others were so desperate to get into Europe.

James ELLES (EPPED, South East) Report on the Commission Communication to the Council on Reinforcing the Transatlantic Relationship: Focusing on Strategy and Delivering Results (COM(2001) 154 - C5-0339/2001 2001/2139(COS)) Doc: A5-0148/2002 Procedure : Consultation paper Debate : 15.05.2002 & Council and Commission statements on the outcome of the EU/US Summit of 2 May 2002 and the state of Transatlantic relations Vote
Bæredygtigt transatlantisk samarbejde James Elles vurderede derfor, at der er behov for at ajourføre NATO og etablere et bæredygtigt transatlantisk samarbejde med en klar definition af de respektive roller.
For the EUL/NGL, Pernille FRAHM (DK) wanted to know if the real aim was to reduce the number of refugees and immigrants.
Han lagde især vægt på NATO som grundlaget for fred og sikkerhed i det nordatlantiske område og som ramme for fællesskabets operationer.
She emphasised the need for tough action against organised groups such as the Mafia and others responsible for illegal trafficking of human beings.
Samtidig gik han ind for at skabe en fælles definition af sikkerhed og sikkerhedsrisici, bl.a. med henblik på, at EU's ikke-militære instrumenter kan bruges ved siden af de militære i NATO.
Parliament adopted by 376 votes in favour, 74 against and 65 abstentions a resolution calling for a new Transatlantic Agenda.
Partnere og konkurrenter Erika MANN (PSE, D) fastslog, at der alle rede findes et transatlantisk marked, hvor EU og USA er såvel partnere som konkurrenter.
Cristiana MUSCARDINI (UEN, I) was concerned to see a distinction between legal and illegal immigrants.
Hun pegede på behovet for strategiske planer og efterlyste et paradigmeskifte.
The resolution regretted the American tendency towards unilateralism and the disengagement from a number of challenges in the world.
Der er især brug for at styrke de bilaterale mekanismer, sluttede hun.
The House strongly called for a reinforcement of the transatlantic partnership based on equality.
I Europa-Parlamentet er der bred enighed om, at det er nødvendigt med et tættere samarbejde og en bedre dialog mellem EU og USA.
The Commission was asked to take on board the positive mood of the EU/US Summit in May 2002 and to breathe Ufe into the New Transatlantic Agenda of 1995.
Stålkrisen, USA's manglende undertegnelse af "Kyoto-aftalen", USA's tagen afstand fra oprettelsen af den Internationale Straffedomstol til at dømme krigsforbrydere, USA's tiltagende "unilateralisme" -egenrådighed - og manglende konsultation med EU m.m.
Replying to the debate for Council, Mr Rajoy Brey emphasised that Council's policy was based on a balanced approach and he underlined the need to take account of sensitive concerns in this area.
Solid søjle i EU's udenrigspolitik Den fungerende rådsformand, den spanske statssekretær Ramón DE MIGUEL, under stregede, at de transatlantiske forbindelser er den mest solide søjle i EU's udenrigspolitik.
But, he emphasised that policy must be based on respect for law and order, in other words legal immigration with newcomers integrating into society and respecting rules and values of the host European country.
Han mindede om, at EU og USA tilsammen tegner sig for 40% af verdensøkonomien.
Immigration policy was high on the agenda for the EU as an essential element of the Common Foreign Policy and he could not accept any suggestion that too little progress had been made at a European level, pointing to the fact that the new policy had, in effect, only been in operation since 1999.
Den aktuelle strid om stålafgifter vedrører mindre end 5% af samhandelen mellem USA og EU, tilføjede han.
Concluding, he underlined the commitment of EU leaders to tackling illegal immigration and defended the policy of repatriation based on cooperation with the countries concerned.
I kampen mod terrorisme udføres der en betydelig fælles indsats, bl.a. vedrørende udleveringsaftaler, juridisk samarbejde samt indsatsen mod finansiering af ter roristorganisationer.
The House confirmed the fundamental role of NATO as a guarantor of stability and security but also called on the EU to be ready to take actions in favour of a more integrated common European security and defence policy.
Amerikansk enegang De transatlantiske forbindelser er under for andring, bl.a. fordi NATO er ved at udvikle sig til en politisk samarbejdsorganisation, sagde James ELLES (PPEDE, UK).
The House wants to see more cooperation on both sides on such issues as arms production, research and development and rationalising existing arrangements over defence.
Han mindede om, at USA oplever denne udvikling anderledes end EU, dels fordi USA har følt sig under angreb siden den 11. september 2001, dels fordi USA aldrig har været vant til at dele sin suverænitet.
MEPs also want to see the US defence industry opened up to allow competition.
Den amerikanske enegang på en række områder, herunder Kyotoaftalen, Den Internationale Straffedomstol og
The House also welcomed the possibility of EU action in Macedonia under the "Amber Fox" initiative.

Dette indgår i EU's drøftelser med Iran.
In his view, what was missing on the European side was a strategic long-term approach.
I Mellemøsten er der enighed mellem EU og USA om at anerkende Den Palæstinensiske Myndighed som samarbejdspartner.
US plans for extensive subsidies to the farm sector are also condemned and MEPs want to see trade disputes resolved according to WTO rules and possibly through bilateral negotiations.
Der er også enighed om at søge en lang sigtet, permanent løsning i samarbejde med de moderate stater i regionen.
Furthermore, the US decision not to ratify the Treaty relating to the International Criminal Court was also condemned.
I Balkan er der enighed om at fortsætte engagementet med henblik på at sikre genopbygningen og en fredelig udvikling i regionen. EU er rede til at gøre en større indsats, bl.a. ved at overtage ansvaret for den internationale politistyrke fra januar 2003.
For the future, MEPs want to see a new relationship based on closer political ties including participation by parliamentarians and these arrangements formalised through changes to the EU Treaty.
Problemer må ikke overskygge et godt for hold Chris Patten mindede om, at visse kredse i USA går ind for en amerikansk enegang i internationale anliggender.
On behalf of the Industry Committee, Erika MANN (PES, D) too emphasised the need for a long-term approach to encompass the present economic disputes.
Han mente, at EU ikke blot skal se passivt til fra sidelinien, men i stedet arbejde aktivt for at Kyoto-aftalen og Den Internationale Straffedomstol bliver realiseret.
It was vital, she said, for both sides to be aware of the reality of the situation on the ground and to come up with a new approach to solve outstanding issues such as steel and farm subsidies.
Der er enighed om at udbygge samarbejdet med Rusland gennem en ny partnerskabsaftale i NATO.
Opening the debate James ELLES (EPPED, South East) emphasised his longstanding support for strengthening the Transatlantic Partnership and ties with the USA.
Russisk medlemskab af WTO vil dog ikke komme på tale før i 2004.
As he put it, both sides shared common values and common interests but, at the same time, he felt there were grounds for concern over such issues as the weakening of NATO and the changing relationship brought about by the events of 11 September last year.
Endelig er der de aktuelle problemer på handelsområdet.
This, he said, resulted in the US feeling under constant threat and the situation is not the same in Europe.
Der er behov for at få løst konflikten med hensyn til stålafgifterne.
Furthermore, the US position on steel and now farm subsidies, not to mention its foreign policy towards Iraq, revealed further differences between both sides.
Der er også behov for at løse problemer vedrørende landbrugsstøtten.
A solution to these problems, he felt, was to update NATO and embark on a new transatlantic agenda based on mutual recognition.
Den europæiske indstilling er, at disse problemer primært skal løses inden for rammerne af WTO.
While NATO should remain the bedrock of stability, it was, at the same time, necessary to respond to new challenges.
Det er muligt, at USA synes at bevæge sig væk fra de fælles principper i det transatlantiske samarbejde, men forholdet til USA forbliver et af de vigtigste punkter på EU's udenrigspolitiske dagsorden, sluttede Ramón de Miguel.
Issues to be tackled, he said, included opening up defence contracts, agreeing a common definition of security, strengthening political dialogue with NATO remaining responsible for military tasks and the new NATO/EU partnership pursuing closer non-military ties.
Derimod gik han ind for en mere resultatorienteret tilgang, som illustreret ved den konkrete indsats mod terrorisme.
For Council, Ramon DE MIGUEL expressed his concern over the future relations with the USA.
I den forbindelse glædede han sig over de positive resultater fra det nylige topmøde mellem EU og USA.
While he was upbeat over the recent summit and emphasised that, despite 'frustration' on the part of the Europeans over the trade disputes, relations with the USA did represent a solid pillar for the EU's foreign policy.
Han tog af stand fra påstande om, at Kommissionen savner en strategisk synsvinkel på forholdet mellem EU og USA.
He reminded the House of the joint approach taken to such issues as terrorism and outstanding world problems such as the Middle East.
I den forbindelse under stregede han, at de aktuelle problemer med USA ikke skyldes manglende strategisk tænkning i Kommissionen, men måske snarere en amerikansk opfattelse af, at Europa ikke yder tilstrækkeligt til det fælles forsvar.
It was also important to put the trade disputes into context and he pointed out that these did not even amount to 5% of trade between both sides.
Forholdet mellem EU og USA vanskeliggøres nok af, at USA er en super-duper-magt, men det vil fortsat være af den allerstørste betydning for verdens fremtid, sluttede Chris Patten.
Europe had shown its willingness to cooperate closely with the USA following the terrorist attacks last year and had recently, for example, updated the list of terrorist organisations, agreed to freeze assets of such organisations and was cooperating in such areas as extradition.
Men samtidig viste reaktionen også demokratiets styrke, fastslog han. EU har støttet USA i kampen mod terrorismen, og der er truffet en række konkrete foranstaltninger for at styrke det politimæssige og det retlige samarbejde.
There was too a commitment to seek an end to violence in the Middle East, although he admitted that the US was disappointed at the EU's decision not to include Hamas on the EU's banned list.
Ud over at stille styrker til rådighed yder EU også et væsentligt bidrag til genopbygningen i Afghanistan.
At the same time, he emphasised the importance of encouraging 'moderates' in areas such as Saudi Arabia.
Alt i alt er verden et bedre sted at opholde sig, når der er harmoni mellem EU og USA, sagde kommissæren.
He felt it was unfair to accuse Europeans of being anti-Semitic.
Samarbejdstraktat EU- USA? Under ordførerrunden sagde formanden for EP's udenrigsudvalg, den tyske kristelige demokrat Elmar BROK (PPEDE, D), at det transatlantiske forhold er inde i en vanskelig fase, og at der er en række ting, der ikke fungerer så godt - og det på trods af, at vi har et "værdifællesskab" med USA.
Turning to other international affairs, he emphasised the commitment of the EU and the USA to solve trade disputes through respect for WTO rules.
Elmar Brok var af den opfattelse, at man bør skabe en referenceramme for samarbejdet mellem EU og USA, og det bør være en samarbejdstraktat.
Here he cited the willingness of the USA to relax its position on EU exports of mandarins and Clementines and to bring national tax legislation into line with the WTO.
For det kan ikke være meningen, at vi

ikke har en traktat med vor tætteste partner, sluttede Elmar Brok.
He then emphasised the EU's willingness to play its part in tackling international conflicts whether in the Balkans or in Afghanistan.
' 'Bæredygtig udenrigspolitik ' ' Pernille FRAHM fra SF sagde, at "super-duper-magten" USA er ved at opnå den totale dominans. I den situation har EU mulighed for at spille 3 roller:
Russia too was a joint concern, and here he underlined the importance of both the EU and the USA supporting moves towards a market economy in Russia.
EU kan optræde som "klappende hale hæng" og klakører til USA, EU kan være en konkurrerende nr. 2 i våbenkapløbet og EU kan være den civile globale magt, der sætter indfør kriserne opstår.
He concluded by stressing that transatlantic relations were in fact vital for the EU.
Genafbalancering Den spanske socialist Raimon OBIOLS I GERMA (PSE, E) erindrede om den lange list over uoverensstemmelser mellem EU og USA, og at der på det sidste er kommet en anden tone i forholdet.
dominate but, at the same time, he emphasised that national interests were best pursued through international cooperation.
Han beklagede den amerikanske unilateralisme, men pegede på, at det også skyldes EU's manglende evne til at påtage sig sit globale ansvar. Obiols understregede, at det er nødvendigt med en politisk afbalancering af den atlantiske dialog.
While he deplored both the hostility sometimes seen in Europe towards the USA and, at the same time, the contempt seen in some quarters of the USA towards Europe, he concluded by emphasising the profound importance of the relationship with the USA, which he recognised was now becoming a 'super duper' power responsible for the largest increase in world growth between 1995 and 2000.
Hun pegede på, at USA løser problemerne via militær magt, og at man ikke har nogen ordentlig, bæredygtig udenrigspolitik. EU har derimod evnen til mangesidige kontakter og en bæredygtig udenrigspolitik, hvor man er den civile, globale faktor.
For the EPP-ED group, Elmar BROK (EPPED, D) stressed both the shared European US values of democracy and human rights, but also the challenges facing the transatlantic relationship. Disagreements on the
Watson mente, at USA tager fejl på en række punkter, herunder oprettelsen af den Internationale Straffedomstol, Kyotoaftalen, henrettelse af mindreårige i Texas, behandlingen af Tali-ban-fanger - som strider mod Geneve-konventionen - samt stålkrisen.
International Criminal Court, the Kyoto Protocol and the lack of EU's military role were all highlighted.
Graham Watson understregede på den anden side, at det er nødvendigt, at EU's politik er troværdig - det gælder både omkring våbenpolitik, politisamarbejde og luftfart - for ellers bliver vi ikke taget seriøst af USA.
He called for a structural dialogue and raised the possibility of a formal Treaty between the US and the EU.
USA skaber ofte handelsproblemer - og de over holder ikke internationale aftaler.
She regretted recent US unilateralism.
Men det er ikke EU's rolle at være "skolemester", for vi har ikke nogen sammenhængende udenrigspolitik.
A unified common foreign and security policy is required if there is to be true political synergy between the two continents.
Moralsk overlegenhed? Den hollandske grønne Joost LAGENDIJK (Verts/ALE, NL) pegede på, at der ikke er tale om et forhold mellem jævnbyrdige parter, og vi er ikke ens.
Graham WATSON (South West) for the ELDR Group reminded the House of the need to stand shoulder to shoulder at times of crises.
Men det er kun godt, for verden har ikke brug for 2 USA'er.
In recent times, however, there have been too many examples of poor communication.
Han mente ikke, at vi har grund til at tro, at vi er moralsk overlegne i forhold til USA, for EU har ikke altid ret.
Sometimes, it is necessary to be candid and here the US had got it wrong on the International Criminal Court, steel tariffs and the Kyoto Protocol.
Det, der er vigtigt er, at EU optræder samlet - og med selvtillid.
The EU also must speak with one voice.
Lagendijk lagde her vægt på 3 ting:
Finally, he called on the EU to normalise relations with Taiwan.
EU skal holde fast i det multinationale, som fx. med den Internationale Straffedomstol, domstol,
As he put it, referring to Europe's willingness to cooperate in other international trouble spots, the world was a safer and better place when the EU and 'the world's most formidable power work in harmony'.
Behov for fælles strategi Rådsformanden, Ramón de Miguel, sagde af slutningsvis, at de transatlantiske forbindelser minder om forholdet i en familie.
Nevertheless, he recognised where disagreements were taking place whether over Kyoto, the US opposition to the international criminal court or trade disputes such as steel.
Der er fejl og mangler på begge sider, men vi stiller store krav til hinanden og til os selv, sagde han.
But, at the same time, he did not feel that these disputes should be taken out of proportion and indeed, on the positive side, reminded MEPs of the commitments of both sides to help developing countries to increasing aid programmes.
Et af problemerne er, at EU ikke altid gør nok eller er på højde med situationen, vurderede han.
The challenge now was to prevent the disputes escalating and here he referred to the 'early warning system' as a means of doing this, citing the examples of clémentines and hush-kits.
Det skyldes efter hans mening, at EU består af femten suveræne stater, som må afstemme deres politik indbyrdes.
He also agreed on the need to strengthen dialogue at a parliamentary level and, while he felt present relations based on the 1995 agenda could be improved by cutting through bureaucracy, he did not go along with Mr Elles's call for a new strategy, pointing out that US positions on steel, the new farm bill or opposition to the international criminal court had not come about as a result of strategic thinking on the part of the Commission.
Derfor har vi brug for en fælles strategi for det transatlantiske samarbejde, sluttede rådsformanden. en.

objectives.
Dok.: B-0263/2002/RC1 Procedure: Forslag til beslutning Forhandling: 15.5.2002 Afstemning: 15.2002
Pernille FRAHM (DK) for the GUE/NGL Group stated that the EU must not simply be a lapdog to the US.
I dagene 22.-23. april mødtes Euro-Middelhavsområdets udenrigsministre i Valencia.
Since the High Representative's last visit to the European Parliament, Israeli defence forces have withdrawn from Palestinian territories, President ARAFAT now has freedom of movement and the siege of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem has ended.
På den baggrund vedtog EP en beslutning, hvori man støtter det spanske EU-formand-skabs handlingsplan til, hvordan man kan sætte gang i Barcelona-processen om et tættere samarbejde og en udvidet dialog mellem landene, der grænser op til Middelhavet.
Mr Arafat's free movement was guaranteed following the agreement to hold four Palestinian prisoners in Jericho under the supervision of US/UK soldiers.
EU-fredsinitiativ på vej Den Højtstående Repræsentant for den Fælles Udenrigs- og Sikkerhedspolitik, Javier SOLANA, understregede, at EU arbejder i døgndrift med henblik på i begyndelsen af juni at kunne fremlægge et politisk initiativ til en varig løsning af konflikten i Mellemøsten.
Jim NICHOLSON (EPPED, Northern Ireland) regretted the lack of a long-term approach from the Commission.
Han glædede sig over, at Yasser Arafat har genvundet sin bevægelsesfrihed, efter at gerningsmændene til mordet på den israelske turistminister er blevet anbragt i et fængsel i Jeriko under international bevogtning.
In some ways, it was inevitable that after September 11, the US would concentrate on 'homeland security', the EU did not show the necessary understanding of this point.
Samtidig er belejringen af Fødselskirken i Bethlehem blevet ophævet, efter at Israel er gået med til at lade EU modtage 13 af de palæstinensere, som deltog i besættelsen af kirken.
The two sides must continue dialogue particularly on the new Farm Bill and remove issues of disagreement.
EP beklager, at de syriske og libanesiske delegationer ikke var til stede i Valencia, og man peger på, at en løsning af konflikten i Mellemøsten er en afgørende forudsætning for stabilitet i regionen.
Mr Solana highlighted the broad consensus amongst the so called quartet (US; EU, Russia and the UN) on organising an international conference on the resolution of the Middle East conflict. Egypt has already agreed to attend such a conference.
EP anmoder Kom missionen og Ministerrådet om, at Euro-Middelhavsdialogen får en strategisk, politisk målsætning baseret på fred og fremskridt og en retfærdig og varig løsning på konflikten mellem israelere og palæstinensere
Mr Solana said that an EU consensus must be put in place before the conference. The Saudi plan of permanent recognition of Israel in response for a Palestinian State is a new dimension that builds on both the previous Madrid and Oslo conferences.
Genskabelse af Den Palæstinensiske Myndighed Javier Solana understregede nødvendigheden af en ihærdig indsats for at udnytte den lille mulighed, der er for at opnå en løsning.
Replying for the Council Mr De Miguel stated that there were high expectations on both sides and that it was unlikely that there would be a solution for all the current divides.
Han understregede det gode samarbejde i den såkaldte kvartet, bestående af EU, FN, USA og Rusland.
The EU and the US must shoulder responsibility for the current differences of opinion.

International fredskonference Efter Javier Solanas mening skal løsningen findes gennem afholdelse af en international konference med deltagelse af de berørte parter, herunder de arabiske lande, der ønsker at samarbejde, navnlig Ægypten, Saudi-Arabien, Jordan og Syrien.
He then turned to the necessary reform of the Palestinian Authority in order for the EU to work successfully with it. The Palestinian Authority must resemble a state and a government, it must take sole control of security forces, and structure government departments on a long-term basis.
