Ifølge adfærdskodeksen skal Ministerrådet udarbejde en årsberetning om våbeneksport.
Mr Barroso promised to work more "openly and transparently" than before and stated that he wanted to conclude a new framework agreement between the European Parliament and the Commission.
Onsdag den 17. november 2004 vedtog Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg en beslutning om den såkaldte "ALTHÉA"mission i Bosnien-Hercegovina.
Statement by Mr Barroso, Presidentelect of the Commission Debate: 17.11.2004 Vote: 18.11.2004
Planen er, at EU den 2. december overtager den militære myndighed fra NATO.
"A partnership for Europe based on prosperity, solidarity and security," this is what the Commission wanted to achieve.
"ALTHEA"missionen er EU's første større militære mission - med omkring 7.000 militærpersoner!
The Commission and Parliament, he said, could do more by working together, rather than separately.
Og forventede udgifter på 71,7 mio. euro.
The European institutions, he stated, would emerge stronger from recent events.

Andre EU-lande mener, at Kina først må lave nogle konkrete tiltag på menneskerettighedsområdet, og EP- betænkningen knytter adfærdskodeksen tæt sammen med våbenembargoen mod Kina.
He concluded by saying that a large majority of his group would support the Commission and he wished all its members well.
menneskerettighederne - som den franske grønne Helene Flautre sagde - og den kinesiske trusel mod Taiwan og behandlingen af Tibet.
He said it could have been even better if Mr Balkenende had shown as much flexibility as the government of Italy - a reference to the Dutch candidate Ms KROES.
Under debatten sagde den hollandske Europaminister Arzo NICOLAI, at EU's adfærdskodeks for våbeneksport er et af de mest succesrige elementer i EU's udenrigspolitik, idet der har været væsentlige fremskridt i gennemskueligheden i våbeneksporten siden 1998.
The leader of the EPP-ED group, Hans-Gert POETTERING (DE) began by welcoming the presence of the President-in-Office of the Council, Jan Peter BALKENENDE who was in the Chamber for the debate. He hoped future holders of this role would follow suit.
Vi er på vej mod en effektiv og ansvarlig politik for våbeneksportkontrol, og det hollandske EU-formandskab ønsker at gøre den endnu mere gennemskuelig.
He said Mr Barroso had made the right decision and he praised the "noble gesture" of Rocco BUTTIGLIONE in withdrawing, opening the way for a new decision.
Chris Patten fastslog, at EU-Kommissionen støtter vedtagelsen af en international adfærdskodeks for våbeneksport, som bør udarbejdes på grundlag af EU's adfærdskodeks.
Parliament was clearly stronger vis-á-vis the Council and Commission, and the Socialist group had been the decisive player in achieving this, something of which he was proud.
Patten understregede, at Kina er en vigtig økonomisk partner og aktør på verdensplan, og at landet er i gang med at genindtage sin rolle fra midten af 1800-tallet -der er tale om en "historisk genrejsning".
He said the new candidate from Italy, Mr Frattini, was an eminent politician, who had given a convincing and intelligent performance at his hearing.
Ingen kan isolere sig i dag, og Kina bør forbedre menneskerettighederne i landet i den kommende tid. Chris Patten sluttede med at sige, at Kina fremover bør spille en positiv rolle i det internationale samfund.
Mr Piebalgs had also been impressive, he said, though his group would have welcomed the Hungarian government following the example of Latvia and replacing their candidate.
Nej til at ophæve våbenembargoen!
Mr Schulz called for Mr Barroso to go further than Romano PRODI's position, to a point where Commissioners would resign if Parliament decided that they should.
Under ordførerrunden sagde den tyske CDU'er Karl VON WOGAU, ' at adfærdskodeksen har ført til væsentlige fremskridt - men det er ikke nok.
"If we believe a member of your team is not performing his or her tasks or if there is a problem with conflicts of interest, we may ask you to act, " he said.
Det var positivt, at nogle medlemslande har erklæret adfærdskodeksen for retligt bindende.
You tried, he told Mr Barroso, to run a majority against the Socialist group, and this was a mistake.
PPE-gruppen går ind for et "strategisk samarbejde" med Kina, men der er problemer med
There could be no broad majority in the Parliament without the social democrats and it was better to seek their cooperation than rely on the votes of the extreme right.
Nicolai havde bemærket sig, at EP's udenrigsudvalg ikke ønsker at hæve våbenembargoen mod Kina på grund af menneskerettighedssituationen i landet.
If he did not continue in this way, the events of October 2004 could be repeated, he said.

Frank Sinatra Den britiske EU-udenrigskommissær Chris PATTEN undskyldte, at han endnu en gang mødte op i Europa-Parlamentet, for han havde jo allerede takket af sidste gang.
There were three important conclusions to be drawn, he said.
Det mindede ham om Frank Sinatra, som havde haft mange afskedsoptrædende.
Firstly, there was a need to stand up for European values, for a free society, for tolerance, pluralism and good order.
Patten erkendte, at der var sket positive ting i Kina, men at Kinas overholdelse af menneskerettighederne ligger langt under de internationale standarder.
Freedom of expression, opinion and religion were vital, and no-one should be discriminated against, including for their religion.
Det kræver, at Kina gør noget på
Secondly, a strong Commission and a strong Parliament were essential.
Den portugisiske socialist Ana Maria GOMES mente, at EU's adfærdskodeks bør være obligatorisk og bindende.
However, there was also parliamentary control of the Commission, and its members should be available to Parliament whenever it requested their presence.
Og eksport af redskaber til tortur bør forbydes.
In December there would be a debate on Parliament's political priorities and this should inform the Commission's programme.
Gomes gik ind for, at EU opretholder våbenembargoen over for Kina, idet

To the "red and green banners of the permanent opposition" he said there was no honour in voting against a Commission which had respected Parliaments main demands.
Han mente, at der var tale om en meget velovervejet betænkning fra EP's udenrigsudvalg - med mange henstillinger til forbedringer.
For the Greens/EFA group, Monica FRASSONI (IT), said her group felt it had been important to make the Parliament's voice heard, in calling for respect for freedom and opposing discrimination.
At ophæve våbenembargoen mod Kina vil være et dårligt signal - og hyklerisk med hensyn til beskyttelse af menneskerettighederne.
This new team was better, but it was not improved enough, and the Green group had unanimously decided not to support it, she said.
Der ville være tale om grov merkantilisme - at sælge principper f or en håndfuld sølv.
In particular, they felt it was inappropriate to put a "signatory" of what she called "Berlusconi's law on conflicts of interest" in charge of justice.
Den franske grønne Helene FLAUTRE var glad for PPE-gruppens holdning til opretholdelse af våbenembargoen mod Kina.
November - 2004 said, synonymous with lies, deception and spin.
Der foregår summeriske henrettelser i Kina, og Kina er verdensmester i krænkelser af menneskerettighederne, fastslog Helene Flautre.

EU-ombudsmandens årsberetning for 2003 dækker det arbejde, der blev udført af den første EU-ombudsmand, finnen Jacob SÖDERMAN frem til den 31. marts 2003, og af grækeren Nikiforos DIAMANDOUROS, siden han overtog stillingen i april 2003.
She said that it was an opportunity for a more open and progressive Commission, but this chance had not been taken.
Ifølge 2003-årsberetningen modtog EU-ombudsmanden 2.436 klager i 2003, hvilket er en stigning på 10 % i forhold til 2002.
Sinn Fein MEPs would oppose the Commission in the vote, not because of individual Commissioners, but due to the fact that several policies it espoused would, according to Mrs McDonald, undermine equality, justice and human rights.

Ved åbningen af EP's samling mandag den 15. november 2004, sagde formanden for EP Josep BORRELL (PSE, ES), at begivenheder de første dage i november minder os om historiske hændelser, som vi ikke bør glemme.
November - 2004 democracy, and praised the deep roots of the changes which had taken place in South African society.
Herunder henviste Borrell til, at det den 9. november var 15 år siden Berlin-muren faldt, og at det er første gang, at EP kan fejre denne begivenhed som et samlet Europa.

Borrell fremhævede endvidere, at den 9. november var den Internationale dag mod fascisme og antisemitisme og advarede i den forbindelse mod en svækkelse af EU's kamp for menneskerettigheder, idet han knyttede an til den seneste tids etniske og religiøse konfrontationer i Holland (der blev igangsat med mordet på den islam-kritiske filminstruktør Theo Van Gogh, Red.). Borrell udtrykte sin solidaritet med den hollandske regering og befolkning, og understregede, at ekstremismen ikke må kaste en slagskygge over Holland, der netop er et land kendetegnet ved tolerance.
Thirdly, regarding EP-Commission relations, he said the proposal in the draft resolution tabled by four political groups on individual parliamentary responsibility of Commissioners was acceptable to him. If Parliament withdrew its confidence from a particular Commissioner, he would be prepared either to ask for that individual to resign, or to justify to Parliament his reasons for not doing so.

Finally, he said it was wrong to talk of winners and losers in this process. It was a constructive process and everyone would win.
Samtidig fremhævede Borrell, at der nu foreligger en ny mulighed for at skabe fred mellem israelere og palæstinensere og understregede, at EU bør deltage i denne nye forhandlingsfase for fred.
He promised to work faithfully with Parliament for a positive outcome for Europe.

EP mener, at EU-ombudsmandens medvirken til at fremme åbenhed og ansvarlighed i beslutningsprocesserne og administrationen hos EU's institutioner er essentiel for et EU, der oprigtigt forfølger målsætningerne om at træffe beslutninger "så åbent som muligt og så tæt på borgerne som muligt", jvf. artikel 1, stk. 2 i EU-traktaten.
"As you are doing in Europe, Africa is today involved in an extraordinary and creative endeavour that might contribute something new to the understanding of the capacity and ability of human beings to overcome adversity and build a new world of hope", he said.

MEPs reiterate that the objectives of the European Union's policy towards Cuba continue to be respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms,
Baggrunden er, at der i øjeblikket ikke findes nogen aftale om beskatning af indtægter fra opsparing, hvilket medfører, at personer, i den EU-medlemsstat hvor de har bopæl, kan unddrage sig beskatning af de renter, de får fra en anden stat.
Mr Mbeki emphasised that during this period of globalisation, no country or continent could be an island.
Da dette fremmer skadelig konkurrence på beskatningsområdet - idet kapitalstrømmene vil søge til lande uden for EU, hvor beskatningen er unormalt lav - er det blevet besluttet at udarbejde et direktiv, der skal afhjælpe problemet.
In the end, "the European Union will not succeed in its noble objectives if neighbouring Africa fails to achieve the same objectives. "
Rådet bemyndigede derfor i oktober 2001 Kommissionen til at føre forhandlinger med Schweiz, USA, Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco og San Marino om indgåelse af aftaler, der sikrer, at disse lande indfører foranstaltninger svarende til dem, der anvendes i EU.
He praised the success of EU Regional Policy: "it is difficult to see how Africa can extricate itself from its terrible condition of poverty and underdevelopment without resort to the development model epitomised by the EU Regional Policy, which has recorded the successes it has with regard to the poor and underdeveloped regions within the EU "
