Formanden for EP's udenrigsudvalg, den tyske CDU'er Elmar BROK understregede, at det er i vor egen interesse, at skabe gode forbindelser til vore nye nabolande, men hvordan skal det gøres i praksis?
He stated that it represented a move towards a federal superstate and that he was opposed to the Union possessing its own legal personality, as well as the setting up of an EU Foreign Minister.
Et "klient­system" vil ødelægge EU ­ vi har simpelthen ikke råd til det!
The Union, he stated, would be moving towards a "de facto state, demanding a seat on the UN".
Elmar Brok spurgte Verheugen, "hvad vil der ske, hvis Tyrkiet ikke opfylder Københavns­kriterierne ­ altså optagelsesbetingelserne ­ mod slutningen af 2004?
Mr Tannock opposed the "passarelle clauses" with regard to CFSP and warned that Member State troop deployment decisions could be overturned by the Union.
Så må vi komme med et andet tilbud, og medlemskab bør ikke være den eneste valgmulighed! ".
Instead, he called for further support of NATO.

Mr Tannock, furthermore, rejected the Charter of Fundamental Rights becoming legally binding.
Elmar Brok pegede på, at nogle lande ønsker EU­medlemskab, men de vil ikke være klar de første 10 år.
Marco PANNELLA (IND, I) made a particular appeal for the Brussels Council to address matters of war and peace.
Det gælder lande som Ukraine, Moldova, nogle lande på Vestbal­kan ­ og måske Tyrkiet.
It was not enough, he said, to call for the withdrawal of troops: "We need to respect international law, and 're-legalise' the situation, with the UN, Europe and the US working together to launch a real peace process for the Middle East.
Og vi må opbygge et naboskab­partnerskab med de sydlige Middelhavslande.
The allies who invaded Iraq have already repeated the mistake of the Italian army in 1943 by disbanding too soon - they are now trying to rebuild an Iraqi army, but people will have to be paid.
Men der mangler syste­matik både i Kommissionen og i Europa­Parlamentet, sluttede udenrigsudvalgets for­mand.
Working together, we can find ways out of the present difficulties and come up with a process that could be supported by France and Germany but also the US."
EP vedtog en beslutning om Euromed ­ dvs. samarbejdet mellem EU og Middelhavs­landene.
Andrew DUFF (ELDR, Eastern) stated that MEPs who were Members of the Convention would be meeting on 5 December with Minister Franco FRATTINI and President Valéry Giscard d'ESTAING and would come

Richard CORBETT (PES, Yorkshire and the Humber) argued that since all the Member States want to finish the IGC in December but also want to postpone any compromises to the last minute, there was a real risk of a return to the late night horse trading of Nice. "Some Member States are still posturing.
Associeringsaftaler Denne fremtidige forsamling skal have til op gave at sikre, at Euro-Middelhavs-partner-skabet fungerer efter hensigten og fremme den korrekte gennemførelse af associeringsaftalerne mellem EU og Middelhavspartnerlandene.
Yet Poland and Spain want to return to Nice." Perhaps, he argued, we could look at the experience of the early 90s, when a compromise was reached on the blocking minority needed after the enlargement of that time.
EP vedtog et forslag til beslutning om Den nordlige dimension.
It was agreed that if the new system adopted a measure which the old would have blocked, the minority states could insist on more discussions.
På Rådsmødet i Bruxelles i oktober 2003 blev den anden handlingsplan for den nordlige dimension (2004-2006) underskrevet.
Baroness Sarah LUDFORD (ELDR, London) was also concerned with the Guantanamo Bay question and stated that she was co-rapporteur in preparing a legal challenge to the US Supreme Court.
Den anden handlingsplan fokuserer især på det bredere europæiske naboskab, der bliver en realitet med EU's udvidelse i maj næste år.
However, Baroness Ludford pointed out that only the Council could make a formal legal challenge. She warned against bilateral deals with EU Member Sates undermining this potential legal challenge.
Der er primært fem prioritetsområder for EU's politik for den nordlige dimension:
Where the EU stands up for itself, as in the steel case, the " US listens!"

Stephen HUGHES (PES, North East) made a number of points related to the resolution on the IGC and its analysis of economic policy.
• • • økonomi og infrastruktur, sociale spørgsmål (herunder undervisning, uddannelse og offentlig sundhed), miljø, atomsikkerhed og naturrigdomme, retlige og indre anliggender og samarbejde på tværs af grænserne.
"I am not in favour of unnecessary regulations, but the treaties already specifically rule these out and the Commission respects this.
EP vedtog et forslag til beslutning om resultatet af topmødet mellem EU og Rusland, idet forsamlingen udtrykte sin dybe bekymring for Ruslands overtrædelser af menneskerettighederne i Tjetjenien og Ruslands manglende ratificering af Kyoto-protokollen.
We should respect the balance struck at Lisbon, and should not use business impact assessments as a way of blocking the Commission's right of initiative for vital social legislation. We need a full cost-benefit analysis which looks not only at the costs but the benefits as well. "
Kritik af Berlusconis støtte til Rusland EP kritiserede den italienske premierminister Silvio Berlusconis støtte til den russiske regerings politik i Tjetjenien, og understregede, at han havde overskredet sit mandat som for mand for EU.
John CUSHNAHAN (EPP-ED, Munster) said that credit was due to the Italian Presidency for the progress made at Naples, in particular regarding structured cooperation on defence.
Debatten, der fandt sted onsdag den 19. november var domineret af finske MEP'er, der alle var enige i, at handlingsplanen for 2004 til 2006 mangler konkrete tiltag, og er præget af "papirnusseri".
He argued that it was vital to end the paralysis of the Common Foreign and Security Policy: "We need to have policy decided by QMV on a proposal from the EU Foreign Minister.
Flere mente, at de miljømæssige aspekter i praksis er blevet underprioriteret, og herunder blev det kritiseret, at der forefindes atomaffald og farlige A-kraft-værker i Rusland.
At the same time, we must ensure that the European Council Presidency does not conflict with the role of the Foreign Minister or that of the Commission President, who up to now has been the only permanent leader of the EU.
EP's opfordringer til Rusland EP opfordrer de russiske myndigheder til at overholde de internationale menneskerettigheder i Tjetjenien og til at retsforfølge de ansvarlige for grove menneskerettighedskrænkelser begået i Tjetjenien.
He also issued a warning that the Convention text was the bottom line compromise: "In reality, if the IGC's version is to be ratified, it will need the support of this Parliament, the Commission and national parliaments.
Den italienske rådsformand Roberto ANTONIONE åbnede debatten om Den nordiske dimension med at sige, at denne vil spille en stigende rolle i et udvidet EU.
Proinsias DE ROSSA (PES, Dublin) criticised the political leadership in the Member States for defending to the last their own particular desires at the expense of deeper European integration.
Målsætningen er bl.a., at styrke forholdet til Rusland, få af klaret spørgsmålet omkring Kaliningrad samt
Finally, he made reference to President Prodi's recent trip to Ireland where he was quoted in the Irish Times as saying that if a Member State did not ratify the draft Constitution they would have to leave the Union. Mr De Rossa criticised this statement
EP-Ugen at styrke det arktiske område, såvel økonomisk, socialt og kulturelt.
The Week and asked whether the President had been correctly quoted.
Udvidelsen og den nordiske dimension I lighed med Antonione, sagde EU's udvidelseskommissær tyskeren Günter VERHEUGEN, at udvidelsen får stor betydning for den nordiske dimension.
Responding to the debate, Minister Antonione stated that the Italian Presidency, at every possible occasion, had sought to defend the European detainees held in Guantanamo Bay.
Han frem hævede ligeledes forholdet til Rusland, som en af hjørnestenene i den nordiske dimension.
He stated that he was optimistic "about the possibility of reaching final agreement on the draft Constitution at the European Council".
Endvidere vil man med den nye handlingsplan (2004-2006) arbejde for en bæredygtig udvikling i det arktiske område.
The Italian Presidency's starting point was maintaining as much as possible of the Convention's text.
Verheugen fremlagde en række resultater opnået hidtil i forbindelse med den nordiske dimension, her under bl.a.
He also pointed out that Prime Minister Berlusconi would give an assessment of the Italian Presidency during Parliament's next plenary session in Strasbourg.
Samerne: Eneste oprindelige folk i EU I tråd hermed mente Matti WUORI (Verts/ALE, FIN), at den offentlige debat i EU har handlet om italiensk indenrigspolitik, og at den nordiske dimension er blevet over set.
recommendations to start the process of imposing fines on both France and Germany.
Han påpegede ligeledes atomfarerne i Rusland og understregede at handlingsplanen for den nordiske dimension forsømmer at ud pege strategiske prioriteter.
Mr Tremonti did not agree that the Pact was "stupid' but it did need to be reformed and supported some flexibility in the interpretation of the rules.
Endelig efterlyste Wuori en politik for samerne, der udgør det eneste oprindelige folkeslag i EU og hvis traditionelle levevis skal bevares og problemet med ejendomsretten til den jord, de bebor skal løses.
The objectives of growth and low inflation underlying the Pact, the Minister said, were clearly correct. Moreover, the Pact was still alive and kicking both in spirit and letter.

President Prodi warned the Italian Presidency not to "sweep the most difficult issues under the carpet. "
Paavo VÄYRYNEN (ELDR, FIN) mente, at de baltiske lande og Polen vil styrke den nordiske dimension.
ECONOMIC & MONETARY AFFAIRS Stability and Growth Pact in need of reform
Den eneste ikke-finske MEP, der talte Diana WALLIS (ELDR, UK) efterlyste EU-leder-skab i forbindelse med det arktiske område.
Council & Commission statements - The Stability and Growth Pact Debate: 03.12.2003 Commissioner Pedro SOLBES MIRA, on the other hand, stated that the "current institutional crisis" surrounding the Stability Pact was due to a lack of convergence in Member State's economic policy.
Hun understregede, at det arktiske miljø angår os alle.
Both France and Germany had severe fiscal problems with too high deficits.
Ilkka SUOMINEN (PPE-DE, FIN) sagde under ordførerrunden (der i øvrigt var totalt domineret af finske MEP'er), at begrebet den nordiske dimension er blevet udvandet.
The measures that these countries had outlined to reduce their excessive debt, according to Commissioner Solbes were "insufficient."
Her med mente han, at handlingsplanen ikke om fatter konkrete initiativer i forhold til for ældede kernekraftværker og han kritiserede skarpt, at der stadig forefindes atomaffald i f.eks. Murmansk.
He also pointed out that it was a minority of the Member States that were breaking the Pact's rules and it was the Commission's role to defend the Treaties as they were set out.
Verheugen understregede afslutningsvis, at Østersøpolitik er lig EU-Rusland politik.
Commissioner Solbes also stressed the importance of the principle of equality of Member States in terms of economic governance.
End videre stillede han sig uforstående overfor Wallis' udsagn om, at den nordiske dimension forsømmer det arktiske område, idet han fremhævede det "arktiske initiativ" som netop et af de nye tiltag i handlingsplanen 20042006.
The long-term economic convergence of the euro area, and hence economic growth were at risk, he stated, if this type of flouting of rules were to continue.
For lidt handling og for meget papir Stort set alle de øvrige ordførere tilsluttede sig Suominens kritik af for lidt handling og "for meget papir" i politikken for den nordiske dimension.
He pointed out that both France and Germany had recognised in the second half of 2003 that their debt was greater than 3% of GDP, (the limit set out in the Pact).
Bl.a. sagde Riitta MYLLER (PSE, FIN), at den nordiske dimension ikke er blevet omsat i praksis, og at de fælles aktioner er udeblevet.
However, the Minister stated that both countries had made commitments to reducing their debts in 2004 and 2005.
Hun talte særligt for, at miljømæssige aspekter skal for bedres.
Germany, he said, had taken significant steps to reform its welfare state
Esko Olavi SEPPANEN (GUE/NGL, FIN) mente, at politikken for den nordiske dimension fokuserer for ensidigt på forholdet til Rusland, og understregede at det er centralt at etablere et samarbejde mellem folk og ikke blot mellem virksomheder.
Hans-Gert POETTERING (D), for the EPP-ED group, stated that the Council's decision not to back the Commission's recommendation to start the process of imposing fines was wrong and as he put it "it was a bad dayfor Europe and for the balance between large and small Member States."
November II - 2003 end det befolk mere til forskning ningsmæssigt større EU!
December I - 2003 and Germany were using their political weight unfairly and he thanked the Commission for insisting on defending the Treaties.
EU-handlingsprogram: Gensidig forståelse
His group, he said, no longer had confidence in the ECOFIN Council to take decisions on the Pact.
Man minder også om "Lissabonstrategien" fra marts 2000, hvor stats- og regeringscheferne besluttede at gøre EU til det mest konkurrencedygtige og mest dynamiske videnbaserede område i verden inden 2010.
The new Constitution, he said, should include a more intelligent pact, which sanctioned those who failed its criteria, but sheltered those who invested for the future, such as to meet the Kyoto goals.
Linkohr-betænkningen blev vedtaget med 379 stemmer mod 131 - medens 2 undlod at stemme.
Roberto Felice BIGLIARDO (UEN, I) argued that people viewed this issue too much from a national or party political perspective.
EP beklager, at Rådet ikke har fulgt sine er klæringer op med handlinger, og at medlemslandene ikke gør en større indsats for at øge deres forskningsudgifter - ja nogle medlemslande har endog reduceret deres forskningsudgifter. udgifter.
For the Socialists, Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (PES, E) stated that he was "deeply concerned about the crisis and that Member States should not be allowed to trample all over EU law". He stated that in the euro area there was no sense of common responsibility and this undermined the euro's credibility.
"Investering i forskning: En handlingsplan for Europa": Fra 1,9% til 3% af BNP!
Hans BLOKLAND (EDD, NL) asked why we would want to enter a new Treaty if we were not prepared to respect the present ones.
EP opfordrer Rådet til at tage Kommissionens forslag alvorligt, således at Europa igen kommer til at indtage en førende position inden for videnskab og teknik.
Why, he asked, are some countries more equal than others?
Man kræver derfor, at tanken om en konkurrenceorienteret forskning integreres endnu mere end hidtil i det europæiske forskningslandskab.
He also asked why the Italian Presidency had not played its part by defending the Pact.
Ordfører: Rolf LINKOHR (PSE, D) Kommissionens meddelelse - Investering i forskning: en handlingsplan for Europa Dok.: A5-0389/2003 Procedure: Den ikke-lovgivningsmæssige procedure Forhandling: 17.11.2003 Afstemning: 18.11.2003
Graham WATSON (South West), for the Liberals, stated that the Pact was now on a "life-support machine and that it was close to falling apart because of France and Germany's attitude of do what we say, not what we do. "
7. rammeprogram: 30 mia. euro?
This room for manoeuvre was necessary.
EP opfordrer til, at det europæiske ramme program for forskning forhøjes til 30 mia. euro for det 7. rammeprogram, således at der tages højde for EU's udvidelse til 25 med lemslande.
On the other hand, he argued France had broken its own Constitution by agreeing to the Pact in 1997. This was a stupid decision which came back to haunt them, he said.
I øjeblikket anvender EU kun 1,9 % af sit BNP på forskning, medens USA ligger på ca. 2,7 % og Japan på 3 %.
He argued that what was needed was a real European budget policy, at least for the eurozone countries: they have a single currency but none of the other policy levers at their disposal.
Udtrykt i absolutte tal bruger USA på årsbasis 125 mia. euro
There should be rules which get people to take action in due time.
I begrundelsen argumenterer ordføreren for, at vi bør øremærke 7 % af EU-budgettet til forskning, så der hvert år fra 2010 vil kunne blive skabt 400.000 arbejdspladser.
Christopher HUHNE (ELDR, South East) explained that France and Germany's excessive debt levels were due to an overly lax policy between 1999 and 2002 when their spending had been around 1.5% in excess of GDP.
Han går også ind for oprettelsen af et Europæisk Forskningsråd (European Research Council (ERC)) til at øge den europæiske finansiering
Nobody at the time, he recalled, criticised France and Germany for spending too much: this Mr Huhne stated "was a systems failure." He called for an

Angreb på synagoger i Istanbul Martin fordømte de to bilbombeangreb, der ramte to synagoger i Istanbul den 15. november og dræbte mindst 23 uskyldige civile.
He added that Europe needs real European economic governance, and this is something that can be developed in the light of the Constitution.
Han udtrykte den dybeste medfølelse med de efterladte, og roste de tyrkiske myn­digheders bestræbelser på at finde de skyl­dige.
Across the whole EU, structural reform was taking place, notably in labour markets, and this was changing expectations of economic growth.
18 italienske soldater dræbt i Irak Martin fordømte ligeledes angrebet i Nassiriya i Irak, hvor 18 italienske soldater blev dræbt.
Concluding the debate, Commissioner Solbes Mira, made three comments:
Der var 300, der stemte for, 210, der stemte imod, medens 19 undlod at stemme.
• the Commission had in fact proposed greater flexibility regarding the 3% limit;
EU­Kommissionens forslag til Rådsbeslut­ning drejer sig om et særprogram for forsk­ning og teknologisk udvikling i perioden 2002 til 2006.
MEPs argue in favour of letting the lower VAT rate experiment continue for some labour-intensive sectors, pending the introduction of a definitive VAT system.
Kommissionens forslag om­fatter kun fremstilling af humane embryonale stamceller, og foreslår ingen regler for selve de embryonale stamceller.
They say the experimental period of three years with a one-year extension has been "insufficient" to evaluate fully such a complex issue and its impact on employment.
Dette gælder særligt brugen af embryoner, der er produceret med henblik på in vitro­befrugt­ning, og som ikke længere anvendes til dette formål (dvs. overtallige embryoner).
Moreover, the report points out that "data presented to the European Parliament by the industries concerned demonstrate that there has been a significant net job creation", contrary to what the Commission says.
Endvidere mener EP, at stamcelleforskning ­hvis formål navnlig er at bekæmpe og hel­brede hidtil uhelbredelige sygdomme ­ skal støttes.
The House also says that Member States should be allowed to apply a reduced rate of VAT to a wider range of goods and services than suggested in the Commission proposal, provided this does not affect the functioning of the internal market.
November II - 2003 utilstrækkelige bidrag til udviklingshjælp til den tredje verden.

In addition, MEPs want to allow individual Member States such as the UK and Ireland to continue applying a zero-rate to, for instance, children's clothes and shoes.
Den irske præsident var ligeledes beæret over at tale til EP, og hun gjorde i sin tale meget ud af, at understrege El-medlemsskabets betydning for Irland - såvel da landet for 30 år siden blev medlemmer af EF, som i dag, hvor den positive effekt afspejles overalt i det irske samfund.
While the Commission was proposing to enlarge Annex H of directive, it did not wish to go as far as Parliament.

Critical Assessment of EU Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF)
• Den formelle tiltrædelse af 10 nye lande i maj 2004, hvilken hun betegnede som et mirakel og den største udfordring for det irske formandskab.
Parliament demanded that an audit be carried out at OLAF as of January 2004 to assess the effectiveness of its investigations.
Endvidere under stregede McAleese, at det irske for mandskab vil påbegynde de egentlige tiltrædelsesforhandlinger med Bulgarien og Rumænien med henblik på, at de kan optages i 2007.
The audit should come under the responsibility of the Supervisory Committee, which consists of five independent outside individuals appointed by common accord of the Parliament, Council and Commission.
Udviklingen i Tyrkiet vil ligeledes blive fulgt nøje af det irske formandskab.
OLAF's budget should have a separate heading, in the same way as the Ombudsman's.
