Jean LAMBERT (Greens/EFA, London) picked up on the lack of research and development investment in the EU but warned against too much emphasis being put on bio-technology.
Den liberale gruppe støtter således en kampagne i ansøgerlandene. Watson sluttede med at fastslå, at EU er et værdifællesskab, der bør være ud adrettet og generøst.
Mrs Lambert also wanted to know what proposals Council had to reform its own infrastructure to reflect the obligation of monitoring the sustainability of EU legislation.

Den franske grønne Daniel COHN-BENDIT sagde, at vi ikke har nogen beviser på, at Saddam Hussein har oprustet og igen er aggressiv, og EU må nu vise sin vilje til at for hindre en Irak-krig.
For the EDD group, Jens-Peter BONDE (DK) advised the Greek Presidency to open up all its meetings, to publish all minutes of meetings, agree on a new statute for the European Ombudsman which would allow wider investigation and allow the Court of Auditors access to scrutinise everything including the accounts of companies that carry out projects for the EU.

Dagmar ROTH-BEHRENDT (PES, D) Report on the joint text approved by the Conciliation Committee for a European Parliament and Council directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Directive 76/768/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products (PE-CONS 3668/2002 - C5-0557/2002 -2000/0077(COD)) Doc: A5-0001/2003 Procedure : Codecision procedure (3rd reading) Debate: 15.01.2003 Vote: 15.01.2003

I betænkningen af den tyske CDU'er Georg JARZEMBOWSKI godkender EP - med en række ændringsforslag -Kommissionens forslag om at skabe et indre marked for EU's jernbanetransport. Det skal bl.a. ske gennem åbning af de nationale og de internationale markeder for jernbanegodstransport.
This will be followed by a complete ban six years after the directive enters into force, thereby ending the use of animals in the testing of cosmetic products but without jeopardising consumer safety since alternative ways of testing will have to be developed in the transition period to replace animal testing.
Jarzembowski-betænkningen blev vedtaget med 405 stemmer mod 113, medens 9 undlod at stemme.
The other main points of the agreement reached in conciliation can be summarised as follows:
Jernbane godstransporten har fra 1980 til 2000 tabt markedsandele fra 15 % til 8 %, og det er skuffende, men nu er vi på vej mod et egentligt EU-områdefor jernbaner.

On the repatriation of Afghan refugees, the House wants the United Nations and the donor governments to find just and coherent criteria for repatriation schemes for the Afghan refugees who are facing uncertain fates and have to deal with different policies operated by hosting countries and humanitarian agencies.
Børsnoterede selskaber: Mere gennemskuelige årsregnskaber
Finally, Parliament decided to send a delegation of Members of the European Parliament to Afghanistan next spring.
Kundeorienterede private jernbaneselskaber Den tyske CDU'er Georg JARZEMBOWSKI var ordfører for transportudvalgets betænkning om Kommissionens forslag om et indre marked for jernbaner, og under frem læggelsen af sin betænkning sagde han, at jernbanesektoren skal have nyt liv, og vi skal flytte mere gods fra landevejene til skinnerne.
With regard to aid, the House wants the Commission and the wider donor community to continue to cooperate with the Afghan Government to promote rapid progress in the areas of health and education, to implement assistance in all fields in order to achieve rapidly tangible progress and in order to make sure that assistance does not benefit regional leaders rather than the population in need.

Parliament also calls on the US to clarify the situation of the prisoners at Guantánamo Bay and take the necessary steps to ensure that basic safeguards are in place for all those in its custody; while recognising the US Government's obligations to take effective security measures when dealing with cases affecting the safety of the public.
Ansøgerlandenes jernbanenet Under ordførerrunden fastslog den østrigske PPE'er Reinhard RACK, at man dårligt nok er kommet i gang med koordineringen mellem medlemslandenes jernbaner, og at det fremover er nødvendigt at knytte EU-lande-nes jernbaner sammen med ansøgerlandenes jernbanenet.
With regard to women's rights, MEPs call on the UN Commission on Human Rights special reporter on violence against women and on the special reporter on human rights in Afghanistan to visit areas of Afghanistan where women and girls are being subjected to human rights abuses.
Rack pegede på, at det østrigske jernbaneselskab er det eneste, der har øget sin markedsandel.
The House also calls for a well-co-ordinated programme of mine action, including assistance to mine victims, to be put in place as a matter of urgency.
EP vedtog en betænkning af den belgiske PPE'er Marianne THYSSEN, hvori man -med en række ændringsforslag - godkender Kommissionens forslag om årsregnskaber og konsoliderede regnskaber for visse selskabsformer og forsikringsselskaber.
Mr Tasso YIANNITSIS, Greece's Deputy Foreign Minister, opened the debate on Afghanistan and remarked that the international community can be "moderately satisfied" with progress made since the Bonn Agreement.
Dårligt serviceniveau Det britiske labourmedlem Brian SIMPSON mindede om det foruroligende fald i markedsandele, og at det er nødvendigt med ændringer nu.
M Yiannitsis was pleased with the establishment of institutions such as a central bank, and a committee on human rights.
I mange år har investeringerne og serviceniveauet været for dårligt for de euro pæiske jernbaner.
He also pointed out that Afghanistan had signed agreements with its neighbours which would assist in guaranteeing security in the region.
Den hollandske GUE'er Erik MEIJER pegede på, at jernbanerne er mere miljøvenlige og beklagede derfor, at alt for meget gods transporteres via landevejene.
Afghanistan, he said, would have to work closely with the IMF, and the Minister outlined that funding would be based on the full implementation of the Bonn Agreement.
Ordfører: Nicholas CLEGG (ELDR, UK) Forslag til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets for ordning om beskyttelse mod støtte og illoyal priskonkurrence i forbindelse med levering af luftfartsydelser fra lande, der ikke er medlemmer af Det Europæiske Fællesskab Dok.: A5-0439/2002 Procedure: Den fælles beslutningsprocedure -Førstebehandling (***I) Forhandling: 14.1.2003 Afstemning: 14.1.2003
Funding would depend on how Afghanistan combats the drug trade, and he stated that the EU would continue to assist fully in this process.
Endvidere kritiserede han den dårlige togforbindelse mellem Bruxelles og Strasbourg.

Baggrunden er, at der foregår en illoyal priskonkurrence fra ikke-EU-luftfartsselskabers side, som medfører en konkurrencefordrejning til ugunstfor EU's luftfartsselskaber.
The Week to be held in 2004. He ended by paying tribute to the EU's special representative for Afghanistan and confirmed that the Greek Presidency would dedicate the necessary resources to the area.
De nye enkle regler betyder, at ingen kan være i tvivl om, hvornår og hvor længe chaufførerne skal holde hvil.
It was, therefore, all the more important for the international community to maintain a united front.
Politiet får et lettere arbejde med at kontrollere, at reglerne bliver overholdt.
Unfortunately, with these developments, Afghanistan seemed to be returning to a "a land of sorrow and suffering".
Freddy Blak håbede, at politiet også ville øge kontrollen.
It was, she said, vital to tackle tribal cultural attitudes.
Ordfører: Marie-Arlette CARLOTTI (PSE, F) Kommissionens meddelelse om årsberetning om humanitær bistand 2000 Dok.: A5-0433/2002
For the GUE/NGL Group, Luisa MORGANTINI (I) saw a contradiction between the International Community's values and its actions in Afghanistan.
Procedure: Den ikke-lovgivningsmæssige procedure Forhandling: 14.1.2003 Afstemning: 14.1.2003
The US, she said, had put many of the warlords in place and the US had reaped what it had sown.
EP vedtog en betænkning af den franske socialist Marie-Arlette CARLOTTI om humanitær bistand under ECHO i 2000 og 2001, hvor man brugte henholdsvis 492 og 544 mio. euro til finansiering af humanitære projekter i tredjelande.
Pointing out that opinion polls in the UK showed strong opposition to Britain entering into war against Iraq without further approval from the Security Council, he had no doubt that these views would be ignored, not just by British leaders but by Europeans who would later fall into line with US policy.
479 stemte for, 4 imod, medens 10 undlod at stemme.
So much for democracy, he concluded.
Kvaliteten af hvil Anne E. JENSEN fra Venstre sagde, at revisionen af køre-hviletidsbestemmelserne er begrundet med de ændringer, der er sket i transportsektoren siden de oprindelige regler blev indført - og ønsket om mere klare regler.
For the UEN group, Cristiana MUSCARDINI (UEN, I) welcomed progress made by President Karzai's administration, including the establishment of governmental institutions. She was also pleased to see the return of refugees to Afghanistan.
Hun understregede, at det er vigtigt, at begrebet køretid defineres, som den tid hjulene ruller, og at der ikke sker en sammenblanding med reglerne for arbejdstid for chauffører.
EU funds, she remarked, had not been fully taken up and she said that the EU should continue to assist the Afghan administration in finding alternatives to the opium poppy trade.
Kvaliteten af et hvil er ikke nødvendigvis afhængig af hvilets længde, det er også vigtigt, at chaufføren har mulighed for selv at tilrettelægge sin hviletid - og vælge stedet for sit hvil.
His other concern was the large number of land mines still in Afghanistan which, he said, posed a major threat to the long term reconstruction of the country and called for a new strategy, with the Commission playing a key role to deal with this threat.

Onsdag den 15. januar 2003 holdt Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg en debat om situationen i Afghanistan et år efter Bonn-aftalen, som er udgangspunktet for genopbygningen af Afghanistan. Alle talere var enige om, at der er sket betydelige fremskridt i Afghanistan, men der mangler stadig meget før landet kommer til at fungere "normalt" politisk, øko nomisk og med hensyn til demokrati og menneskerettigheder.
Parliament's support for ongoing action in the reconstruction of Afghanistan was vital in the sense that it approved necessary funding, he said.
