EP vedtog, med 572 stemmer for, 72 imod, medens 7 undlod at stemme, en betænkning af Martine ROURE (PSE, FR) om det såkaldte ARGO-program (handlingsprogram for administrativt samarbejde på områderne ydre grænser, visum, asyl og indvandring).
& Ralph Pine (Strasbourg) (Brussels) e-mail : On the Middle East, MEPs express their solidarity with the Palestinian people following the death of Yasser Arafat, and repeat their belief that a solution to the Middle East conflict is possible only through a negotiated agreement based on the existence of two viable, peaceful and democratic states - Israel and Palestine.
Emballageaffald: Undtagelser for medlemsstater
Arms exports: no lifting of embargo on China
Kommissionen offentliggjorde for nylig den første årsrapport om gennemførelsen af ARGO 2002-2003, og konkluderede herunder, at der er klare tegn på, at ARGO-programmet ikke opfyldte målene for 2002.
Regarding Sudan, MEPs share the Council's grave concern at the deteriorating security and humanitarian situation in the Darfur region resulting from renewed violence by rebels and militia, compounded by the violent and forced displacement of internally displace people by the Government of Sudan's forces.
Dette skyldtes - ifølge Kommissionen to ting - nemlig, at programmet ikke er tilstrækkeligt kendt af de nationale administrationer, og at disse administrationer har svært ved at mobilisere den nødvendige medfinansiering.
They call on the UN Security Council to introduce a global arms embargo against Sudan and introduce targeted sanctions against those responsible for massive abuses of human rights and other atrocities.

Raul ROMEVA RUEDA (Greens/EFA, ES) Report on the Council's Fifth Annual Report according to Operative Provision 8 of the European Union Code of Conduct on Arms Exports (2004/2103(INI)) Doc: A6-0022/2004 Procedure : Own-initiative Debate: 16.11.2004 Vote: 17.11.2004
En forudsætning for at deltage i ARGO-programmet er i øjeblikket, at mindst tre partnere fra tre forskellige stater skal være involveret.
On Iran, Parliament supports the efforts of the EU and its Member States to reach an agreement with the Iranian government on its nuclear programme, but expresses its deep concern at the deterioration of the human rights situation in the country, reaffirming that a durable and co-operative long term relationship depends on progress in this field.
Dette ønsker Kommissionen nu at ændre, således at finansiering af projekter -inden for området ydre grænser - bliver mulige i en enkelt medlemsstat uden direkte deltagelse af andre medlemsstater. Hermed håber Kommissionen, at kunne imødegå de nationale administrationers problemer med -sammen med partnere i andre medlemsstater -at organisere og mobilisere de nødvendige ressourcer til gennemførelsen af projekterne.
In adopting a non-binding resolution, Parliament welcomed the Council's fifth annual report on the EU Code of Conduct on Arms Exports.
Formålet med direktivet er at undgå emballageaffald og fremme udnyttelsen af de råvarer, der findes i dette affald.
MEPs call on the Ukrainian authorities to improve matters for the second round.
Siden 1994 er direktivet blevet ændret flere gange og med den seneste ændring i februar 2004 opstilles der bl.a. skærpede mål for nyttiggørelse og genanvendelse - mål, der skal være opfyldt inden udgangen af december 2008.
Encouraged by the high turnout in the elections, Parliament asks for the Ukraine Action Plan to be put into effect, with a strong focus on the development of civil society.
EP støtter Kommissionens forslag, idet man henviser til, at EU-programmer ofte er for
The report considers that a clear and efficient common arms export control is decisive in the fight against terrorism, the interest of conflict prevention and respect for human rights.
Undtagelser for nye medlemsstater Den nye lovgivning gør det muligt at være fleksibel, hvad angår måldatoerne for nyttiggørelse og genanvendelse, fordi visse medlemsstater ville have svært ved at opfylde de opstillede mål på kort sigt.
Presidency, the Minister outlined, was to make the Code of Conduct even more transparent; and this is why the Dutch Presidency had embarked on the first full review of the Code of Conduct.
Herunder foreslår Kommissionen, at EU's ti nye medlemsstater får midlertidige undtagelser og senest med udgangen af december 2012 skal have opfyldt målene for nyttiggørelse og genanvendelse af emballageaffald.
The Dutch Presidency, he stated, had also organised several conferences on the subject including one to take place in December in Prague to explain the impact of the Code of Conduct for the new Member States.
EP mener bl.a., at COP-10, udover at frembyde en god lejlighed til at bygge videre på beslutningerne fra tidligere konferencer om gennemførelsen af Kyoto-protokollen, endvidere giver mulighed for at indlede en bred debat om mulige retningslinjer for 2. forpligtelsesperiode.
The EU had taken several steps since 2003 and had increased control on brokering activities, licence applications and on so called intangible transfers of technology. On denial notification systems, there had also been improvements, and the Council Secretariat, he stated, is establishing a database on the implementation of the Code of Conduct in the different Member States.
EP opfordrer EU og alle de øvrige parter i UNFCCC (FN's rammekonvention om klimaændringer, Red.) til at fortsætte drøftelserne om muligheden for at inkorporere emissioner fra international luft- og skibsfart i for 2.
The Minister understood Parliament's demands to see that the Code become legally binding. However, he pointed out there was no consensus in the Council - indeed half the Member States favoured such a move and the other half opposed it.
målene i emissionsbegrænsning forpligtelsesperiode fra 2012.
Turning to the arms embargo on China, Mr Nicolai stated that he could not say a lot since this matter was still under discussion in the Council.
EP vedtog en betænkning af Dorette CORBEY (PSE, NL) hvori man fremhæver, at kravene til de nye medlemsstater bør være mere fleksible og individuelt tilpassede.
The draft report notes that the wording of the Code of Conduct leads to diverging interpretations by different Member states. It welcomes a clarification of the Code.
EP vedtog derfor et ændringsforslag, der tager hensyn til de nye medlemsstaters anmodninger, hvorefter Cypern, Estland, Litauen, Slovakiet, Slovenien, Tjekkiet og Ungarn skal have opfyldt målsætningerne inden udgangen af 2012, Malta inden udgangen af 2013, Polen inden udgangen af 2014 samt Letland inden udgangen af 2015.
MEPs welcome in particular the efforts of Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and the UK to control the brokering of conventional arms and calls for the other Members to speed up the implementation of brokering controls.
Samtidig tilskynder EP, de lande, der endnu ikke har ratificeret Kyoto-protokollen, til at gøre dette snarest muligt, og opfordrer herunder den amerikanske regering til at tage sin beslutning om ikke at deltage op til fornyet overvejelse.
They also call on Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey to "tighten their national legislation and above all their practices in the area of arms exports" In addition, the report stresses that a "particular attention should be paid to Kaliningrad" which has been in the past served as a transit point for shipments of military equipment and arms from other parts of Russia for illicit end-users.
Klimaændringer: EU bør spille ledende rolle i forhandlingerne om klimaændringer
Countries outside the EU, he said, had taken a keen interest in the Code and had wanted to be associated with it. The aim of the Dutch
Endvidere gør EP opmærksom på, at det i den seneste rapport fra Det Europæiske Miljøagentur fremgår, at opvarmningen i Europa foregår hurtigere end verdensgennemsnittet som følge af klimaændringer.
Rueda, should be commended for putting together a substantial document which merits detailed attention. It challenges Member States to attain higher, more stringent, standards on the control of arms exports.
I den forbindelse mener EP, at EU bør forstærke sin indsats for at nå målene i Kyoto-protokollen og hermed statuere et eksempel for de øvrige parter i konventionen.
It also seeks further controls and limitations on such trade; inherently difficult areas for those Member States with significant arms industries.
Herunder understreger EP den vigtige rolle, som foranstaltninger til øget energieffektivitet og vedvarende energikilder spiller i denne forbindelse.
The Commission, he said, knows that a number of Member States are favourably disposed towards lifting the embargo, and have gone public with that position.
EP opfordrer derfor Kommissionen til at vurdere mulighederne for lovgivning med henblik på at støtte energiproduktion fra biomasse.
Others believe that it is premature, citing concerns about human rights. Human rights were an issue that figured prominently in the resolution against lifting passed by Parliament last year.
EP vedtog, med 640 stemmer for, 22 imod, medens 21 undlod at stemme, et beslutningsforslag om klimaændringer, og sender hermed et klart budskab til den EU-delegation, der vil deltage i forhandlingerne på COP-10 konferencen i Buenos Aires den 6.-17. december.
The Commission, he said, is very keen to move forward with our important strategic partnership with China, which is rapidly emerging as a global player across the board, and is now, among other things our second largest trading partner.
EP understreger herunder, at EU fortsat skal indtage en ledende rolle i forhandlingerne om klimaændringer.
That is why the Commission has, as part of wider EU efforts, strongly supported the adoption of an international Code of Conduct on arms exports based on the EU's initiative.

Lifting that embargo would itself be a breach of the Code of Conduct, she said.
Dette skal bl.a. ske ved at fokusere bistanden til den nordlige del af Cypern på tilpasning til EU-retten, navnlig hvad angår investeringer med henblik på efterlevelse af europæiske normer, bl.a. på miljø- og transportområderne.
Jacky HENIN (GUE/NGL, FR), speaking for the International Trade Committee, stated that the EU ought to go further and create an EU Arms export agency as well as introduce a tax on arms exports which would directly benefit the victims of war and the use of small arms.

Bogdan PÇK (PL) for the Independence and Democracy group said this was an important decision and the Code of Conduct should be agreed with the US and Russia.

On China, he said the goal should be to reach a strategic partnership, but with human rights problems and the Taiwan and Tibet issues still outstanding, it was not the right time to lift the embargo.
Mechtild ROTHE (PSE, DE) Forslag til Rådets forordning om oprettelse af et instrument for økonomisk støtte til fremme af den økonomiske udvikling af det tyrkiskcypriotiske samfund Dok.: A6-32/2004 Forhandling: 16.11.2004 Afstemning: 17.11.2004
Ryszard CZARNECKI (PL), a non attached MEP, said half a million people was killed each year by light weapons. Arms exports to non-EU countries should be subject to regulation, and it should also include Turkey, Croatia, Romania and Bulgaria.
EP vedtog en betænkning af Mechtild ROTHE (PSE, DE) og giver hermed grønt lys for at afsætte 259 mio. euro i perioden 2004-2006 til udvikling af det tyrkiskcypriotiske samfund.
Proinsias DE ROSSA (PES, Γ£) welcomed the recent progress in strengthening the EU's Code of Conduct. However, he called the illegitimate export of small arms "the real weapons of mass destruction."
EP vedtog en betænkning af Anders SAMUELSEN fra det Radikale Venstre og godkender dermed Kommissionens forslag.
The EU, he said, should continue to pursue its Code of Conduct and also called for it to become legally binding.
Folkeafstemningen om et forenet Cypern i april 2004, der blev fremlagt af FN's generalsekretær Kofi Annan, blev godkendt af de tyrkiskcypriotiske vælgere, medens den græsk-cypriotiske befolkning stemte nej til genforeningen, hvilket betyder, at Cypern stadig er delt. Efter det negative resultat af folkeafstemningen, anmodede Rådet Kommissionen om at fremsætte forslag om, at anvende de 259 mio. euro, der var afsat i de finansielle overslag for perioden 2004-2006, til "aktivt at bringe isoleringen af det tyrkiskcypriotiske samfund til ophør".
Geoffrey VAN ORDEN (EPP-ED, UK) stated that the British Conservatives supported the EU Code of Conduct but said there was some room for refinement and improvement. He also opposed it become legally binding.
I juli 2004 vedtog Kommissionen en forslagspakke, der bl.a. omfatter oprettelsen af et instrument for økonomisk støtte til fremme af den økonomiske udvikling af det tyrkiskcypriotiske samfund.

Richard HOWITT (PES, UK) stated that the Code, although welcome, needed to be strengthened. He stated that if trends were to continue, the number of deaths caused by small arms, by 2020, would outnumber those caused by disease.

Formanden for EP, Josep BORRELL (PSE, ES) bød onsdag den 17. november Sydafrikas præsident velkommen, idet han fremhævede, at det er stærkt at se, at der 10 år efter afskaffelsen af Apartheid-systemet, nu hersker frihed og demokrati i Sydafrika.
Im adopting a joint resolution, the House welcomes, following the position adopted by the African Heads of State meeting in Abuja on 12 November 2004, the Security Council's decision to impose an immediate embargo on arms.
Borrell fastlog, at den nationale forsoning i Sydafrika er en ære for hele menneskeheden, og roste den Sydafrikanske præsident for hans betingelsesløse kamp for frihed og demokrati.
The House condemns the violence and the acts of xenophobia and pillaging, and calls on the Ivorian Government to put an end to these abuses and to the impunity enjoyed by the perpetrators and instigators of such acts.
I oktober blev tre MEP'er - en spansk og to hollandske - arresteret i Havana, da de forsøgte at mødes med en række cubanske systemkritikere.
MEPs underline in this context the importance of the stepping-up of efforts to create a local, multiethnic police force that enjoys the confidence of all communities in the country.
Det hollandske formandskab reagerede kraftigt på denne hændelse, og planlægger at udarbejde en rapport om den indenrigspolitiske situation i Cuba.
Finally, Parliament urges the EU's military and police forces as well as the civilian authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina to collaborate closely in searching energetically for war criminals and in fighting against any kind of terrorism.
Thabo MBEKI, der har været præsident i Sydafrika siden juni 1999, talte om hele Afrikas situation, idet han henviste til de mange konflikter og borgerkrige, der har fundet sted - og stadig foregår - på kontinentet.
The House calls on the EU and the international community to step up funding for humanitarian aid in Côte d'Ivoire as soon as the conditions allow increased, and desperately needed, operations.
Herunder fremhævede Mbeki, at der i dag hersker fred i Rwanda - påtrods af den blodige borgerkrig og folkemordet, der fandt sted for ti år siden - og han benyttede Rwanda til at eksemplificere, at det er muligt at skabe fred mellem befolkningsgrupper, der før var opfyldt af had.
Lastly, MEPs call on the Council, in this context, to consider consultations between the EU and Côte d'Ivoire under Articles 9 and 96 of the Cotonou Agreement.
"Afrika bringer altid nyt" Mbeki henviste til et latinsk ordsprog, der siger, at Afrika altid bringer nyt til den menneskelige viden og sagde, at kontinentet -bl.a. via det pan-afrikanske parlament -arbejder for at forhindre konflikter og sikre god politik, økonomi og styring.
MEPs ask for an immediate review of the case and call on the Chinese authorities to do all in their power to establish that international human rights and humanitarian law standards are being respected and, in particular, to guarantee internationally recognised legal proceedings for persons arrested.
Hermed understregede præsidenten, at målet for den politiske og økonomiske integrering af Afrika er, at bygge et nyt Afrika, der tager ansvar for egen skæbne og bliver herre over sin egen fremtid.
MEPs also call on the European Union and its Member States to urge the Government of the People's Republic of China to respect the religious rights and freedom of the Tibetan people, and in particular to prevent the execution of Tenzin Delek Rinpoche and to call for a new and fair trial.
Mbeki talte om et Afrika, der bliver sin "egen befrier".

EP fordømmer kraftigt de cubanske myndigheders udvisning af tre parlamentsmedlemmer fra EU's medlemsstater, og giver udtryk for sin solidaritet med de pågældende personer og med medlemmerne af den demokratiske opposition i Cuba.
MEPs welcome the release of Ngawang Sangdrol and Jigme Sangpo, Tibet's longestserving prisoners of conscience, and urge the Chinese authorities to continue with prisoner releases.
Endvidere kræver EP øjeblikkelig løsladelse af alle politiske fanger og samvittighedsfanger i landet og fordømmer sådanne tilbageholdelser, der er en krænkelse af de mest basale menneskerettigheder.
The House calls on the Government of the People's Republic of China to step up the ongoing dialogue with the representatives of the Dalai Lama with the aim of reaching a mutually acceptable solution to the issue of Tibet without further delay.
Samtidig anfører EP, at væsentlige fremskridt i Cuba med hensyn til fremme af demokratiet og respekten for menneskerettighederne er en "absolut forudsætning for en eventuel ændring af EU's fælles holdning om Cuba".
Lastly, Parliament reiterates, in this respect, its call to the Council to appoint an EU Special Representative for Tibetan Affairs so as to contribute effectively to the peaceful resolution of this issue.
Endelig understreger EP, at USA's blokade af Cuba har virket stik mod hensigten, og at restriktionerne derfor bør ophæves igen.

Anders SAMUELSEN (ALDE, DK) Report on the proposal for a Council regulation amending Council Regulation (EC) N° 2667/2000 on the European Agency for Reconstruction (COM(2004)0451 - C6-0075/2004 -2004/0133(CNS)) Doc: A6-O031/2004 Procedure : Consultation Debate: 16.11.2004 Vote: 17.11.2004
EP henviser bl.a. til, at Rinpoche er anklaget for en række forbrydelser, herunder for tilskyndelse til separatisme, og at hans skyld aldrig er blevet bevist.
The report also welcomes the creation by the Ombudsman of a network of ombudsmen and other national and local bodies to which complaints are transferred which do not fall within his sphere of competence.
EP udtrykker alvorlig bekymring over, at perioden for udsættelsen af henrettelsen af Rinpoche udløber den 2. december 2004, og opfordrer de kinesiske myndigheder til "omgående at ændre dødsstraffen over Tenzin Delek Rinpoche til fængselsstraf'.
Lastly, Parliament believes that a future law on sound administration, which would have a legal basis in the draft Constitution, should be binding on all EU institutions and bodies.
Endelig opfordrer EP Rådet og Kommissionen til at give udtryk for deres bekymring over sagen mod Rinpoche under det kommende topmøde mellem EU og Kina.
Parliament adopted a non-binding resolution on the European Agency for Reconstruction.
EP tilskynder ligeledes den kinesiske regering til at optrappe den igangværende dialog med Dalai Lamas repræsentanter, for hurtigst muligt at finde en gensidig acceptabel løsning på Tibet-spørgsmålet.

Siden borgerkrigen i den tidligere franske koloni Elfenbenskysten brød ud i september 2002, har landet været delt mellem det oprørskontrollerede nord og det regeringskontrollerede syd.
The European Ombudsman was set up by the Maastricht Treaty and the right of EU citizens to send complaints to this office is a key aspect of EU citizenship.
I januar 2003 lykkedes det de stridende parter at indgå en våbenhvileaftale.
The work of the Petitions Committee and the Ombudsman are to a large degree complementary.
I november i år blev konflikten imidlertid optrappet, idet Elfenbenskystens luftvåben gennemførte luftbombardementer mod oprørskontrollerede byer i den nordlige del af landet og herunder dræbte 9 franske soldater, der var i landet som en del af en fransk fredsbevarende styrke.
The Ombudsman's Annual Report indirectly enables the Petitions Committee to have an idea of the impact of its own work and how it is developing. This year's report covers a period in which Jacob SÖDERMAN, the first Ombudsman, was in office up to 31 March 2003, as well as the period under Nikiforos DIAMANDOUROS, who took office in 2003.
Urolighederne blev yderligere optrappet, da fransk militær svarede igen og bombede store dele af Elfenbenskystens luftvåben.
Around 2,436 complaints were received by the European Ombudsman in 2003, an increase of 10% over 2002.
