Under afstemningen var der gentagne protester imod den spanske næstformands måde, at håndtere afstemningen på.
Finally, a series of amendments were adopted on the effects of energy consumption and climate change.
Flere medlemmer anmodede adskillige gange om at få foretaget elektronisk afstemning af ét af ændringsforslagene, hvilket næstformanden konsekvent afviste.
The House considered that the European Union needs more binding target values for ozone in ambient air and that the current related Community legislation needs to be improved.
EP vedtog en beslutning, hvori man på det skarpeste fordømmer de åbenlyse krænkelser af de cubanske oppositionspolitikeres og uafhængige journalisters civile og politiske menneskerettigheder, og man opfordrer de cubanske myndigheder til øjeblikkeligt at løslade alle politiske fanger.
MEPs called on the Commission to give priority to infrastructure projects of rail, water and combined transport, when proposing the revision of the Trans-European Transport Networks.
Man opfordrer EU's Ministerråd og EU-Kommissionen til at udarbejde en "klar helhedspolitik" over for Cuba, så snart alle fængslede er frigivet og de vilkårlige arrestationer ophørt. Målene
The House also urged the Commission and each individual Member State to implement ambitious initiatives for the rapid phase-in of renewable energy through rapid and ambitious energy conservation programmes, including effective implementation of the Intelligent Energy Programme.
Europa-Parlamentet fastslår, at målene for EU's udenrigspolitik fortsat bygger på
The House adopted a joint resolution on the tragic consequences of this summer's heat wave.
• fremme af respekten for menneske rettighederne og de grundlæggende frihedsrettigheder,
MEPs expressed their deepest sympathy for and solidarity with the families of those who died and with the inhabitants of the devastated areas.
• støtte til et varigt økonomisk opsving, som tager sigte på at forbedre den cubanske befolknings levestandard.
Parliament noted the decision taken by the Commission to propose the mobilisation of the European Union's Solidarity Fund with a view to granting aid of €31 m to Portugal to enable it to restore its infrastructures and reimburse the cost of the emergency measures, but considered that the contribution from the Solidarity Fund should be nearer the total emergency aid available under the EUSF, assessed at €90m.
På trods af et højt ambitionsniveau, er det ofte snævre nationale interesser, der får overtaget og forhindrer EU i at spille en ledende rolle og handle som en samlet enhed.
He stated that, in 2003, there had been a large number of woeful incidents, the consequences of the heat wave being one of them.
Der blev rettet kritik mod "Bush-administrationen" for at have ført en ekstremt selektiv menneskerettighedspolitik.
He stated that he had recently been in Portugal and had flown over much of the devastated areas.
Da USA i øjeblikket står svagt som vogter af moralske værdier, må EU gå ind og udvise reel politisk vilje til at arbejde for menneskerettighederne.
He also mentioned that Commissioners Antonio VITORINO and Anna
Afkald på EU-bistand EP peger på, at den cubanske befolkning fortsat lider under følgerne af menneske rettighedskrænkelserne, og man beklager det cubanske styres beslutning om at give afkald på EU-bistand og minder om, at EU fortsat er rede til at indgå et kompromis og yde bistand til den cubanske befolkning.
DIAMANTOPOULOU had visited the affected regions. The disastrous economic and social consequences of the forest fires, he said, reminded him in some ways of the problems suffered in Eastern Germany, the Czech Republic, France and Austria last year.
EP henviser også til, at den cubanske regering for anden gang har besluttet at trække sin anmodning om tiltrædelse af Cotonouaftalen tilbage.
MEPs called for a reforestation policy for the affected areas based on respect for their bioclimatic and environmental features.
Religiøs intolerance EP var enige om, at religions- og trosfrihed er en central menneskerettighed, der desværre stadig undertrykkes over hele verden af totalitære regimer.
The House also insisted on the need to reinforce an efficient prevention policy in the field of forest fires.
Særligt lande som Burma, Kina, Laos og Vietnam blev nævnt som steder, hvor sådanne krænkelser finder sted. Omtrent halvdelen af de
Parliament strongly condemned the criminal actions of those individuals responsible for starting certain of these fires deliberately, and calls on Member States to make every possible effort to ensure that they are brought to justice.
Strasbourg I - 2003 voldelige konflikter i verden med over 1000 dødsfald, er af religiøs karakter.
Dagmar ROTH-BEHRENDT (D), for the PES group, called for colleagues to show solidarity with France and Portugal.
Det blev understreget, at landes historiske og kulturelle situation aldrig kan tjene som acceptabel undskyldning for krænkelser af menneskerettigheder, og at der skal opstilles klare kriterier for menneskerettighedsdialoger med tredjelande.
For her, it was not a question of figures or how much aid, but rather tackling the causes of natural disasters such as climate change. She was also concerned about the well being of the elderly who had suffered particularly from the heat wave.
Revision af fiskeriaftale EP mente, at det er på tide at revidere aftalen, således at fiskeriaspektet adskilles fra de øvrige samarbejdsområder mellem EU og Grønland.
The Commissioner also said that Member States were free to redirect or transfer existing Structural or Cohesion Funds to help alleviate the consequences of the heat wave.
Ligeledes blev det understreget, at områder der ikke hidrører fra fiskeri, bør finansieres via Den Europæiske Udviklingsfond fremfor det begrænsede fiskeri budget.
Already existing funding streams, he said, were available from the CAP such as increasing advance payments and support from the rural development budget.
Endelig mente EP, at EU i øjeblikket betaler for "papirfisk", da arter som feks. torsk, ikke længere findes i havene ud for Grønland.
He also stated that the Commission would assess any claim for relaxation in state-aid rules should that be necessary.
EU-Guinea: Forlængelse af fiskeriaftale
Frédérique RIES (Β), for the ELDR, expressed her Group's condolences to the victims of this summer's heat wave.
Effektive sanktioner EP understregede, at sanktioner ikke udelukkende bør anvendes til at udtrykke utilfredshed, men at de derimod bør gennemføres effektivt.
Mr Barnier paid tribute to the emergency services and volunteers who had given their time and energy to fight the fires this summer.
Herunder blev det kritiseret, at EU's holdning overfor fieks.
He mentioned that the Commission would be coming forward with proposals on a EU wide civil protection force which would focus on concrete ways of fighting such disasters in the future.
Zimbabwe har været inkonsekvent, idet Mugabe blev inviteret til Frankrig/Afrika-topmødet.
He did, however, recognise that this was primarily a domain for the Member States.
Ordfører: Juan OJEDA SANZ (PPE-DE, E) Forslag til Rådets forordning om indgåelse af aftalen i form af brevveksling om forlængelse af protokollen for 2000-2001 om fastsættelse af de fiskerimuligheder og den finansielle modydelse, der er omhandlet i aftalen mellem Det Europæiske Økonomiske Fællesskab og regeringen for Den Revolutionære Folkerepublik Guinea om fiskeri ud for Guineas kyst, for perioden 1. januar 2003 til 31. december 2003 Dok.: A5-0264/2003 Procedure: Høringsproceduren (*) Forhandling: 2.9.2003 Afstemning: 3.9.2003
Claude TURMES (L), for the Greens/EFA, group stated that this summer's events should be a last warning of the negative effects of climate change. He also stated that in China, over 4 million people had lost their homes due to flooding and, in comparison, the EU had been hit less badly.

Moreover, Mr Turmes strongly disagreed with the transport initiatives of the Italian Presidency, which he said amounted to "motorways, motorways and more motorways."
Procedure: Den ikke-lovgivningsmæssige procedure Forhandling: 2.9.2003 Afstemning: 3.9.2003
He said his group was strongly in favour much larger investment in the European rail network.
EP vedtog en betænkning af den spanske PPE'er Juan OJEDA SANZ om forlængelse af fiskeriaftalen mellem EU og Guinea om fiskeri ud for Guineas kyst.
For the EPP-ED group, Carlos COELHO (Ρ) thanked the Commissioners for visiting the devastated areas.
EP vedtog en betænkning af den spanske socialdemokrat Rosa MIGUÉLEZ RAMOS om midtvejsrevisionen af den fjerde fiskeri protokol mellem EU og Grønland.
He stated that €31 m was insufficient to deal with the disaster in Portugal and agreed with Commissioner Banner's statement that the figure was "below expectations."
Fiskeri aftalen er den næstdyreste af EU's fiskeri aftaler med et årligt budget på 42,8 mio. euro.
Mr Coehlo stated that the estimated cost was around € 1000m.
Aftalen blev i sin tid indgået som en direkte konsekvens af Grønlands udtræden af det daværende EF.
The fires, he stressed, had destroyed 5% of Portugal's territory and over 11% of its territory covered by forest.
Formålet med aftalen var, at Fællesskabet til gengæld for fiskerettigheder skulle kompensere for det støttebeløb, Grønland modtog før 1985, hvor det forlod Fællesskabet.
He stated that aid was needed quickly and that Portugal qualified for more than €90m of support from the European Solidarity Fund, three times more than had been offered so far.
KONSTITUTIONELLE ANLIGGENDER handlede EP Corbett-betænkningen om Kommissionens forslag om ændring af komitologiafgørelsen fra 1999.
Georges BERTHU (F), a non aligned Member, stated that the 35 hour week in France had not assisted the French authorities to deal with the consequences of the heat wave.
EP godkendte en række ændringsforslag til Kommissionens forslag, men Kommissionen kunne ikke til slutte sig alle EP's ændringsforslag, og EP henviste derefter sagen til fornyet behandling i forfatningsudvalget.
He also called for a reduction of the number of crossborder workers as he said this "negatively affected the family unit." However, Mr Berthu called on the EU to take measures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and to promote renewable as well as nuclear energy.
Komiteproceduren: Godkendelse af fælles hold ning
MEPs adopted a legislative resolution on the coordination of social security systems.
Kompromis Efter intensive forhandlinger med Kommissionen lykkedes det at nå til enighed om næsten alle punkter.
He made it clear that it would be possible for Member State governments to re deploy money within the existing Structural Funds.
Hovedpunkter i det ind gåede kompromis med Kommissionen er:
He also said that money was available from the CAP under the rural development budget.
Kommissionen godkender nu EP's forslag om, at fristen på en måned skal kunne forlænges til to måneder - også under hasteproceduren - hvis EP anmoder her om,
The regulation has been modified, improved and extended several times and has now become extremely complex and difficult to use. In December 1998 the Commission put forward a proposal to simplify and modernise it.
Ordfører: Monica FRASSONI (Verts/ALE, B) Rådets fælles holdning med henblik på vedtagelse af Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning om tilpasning til Rådets afgørelse 1999/468/EF af bestemmelserne vedrørende de udvalg, der bistår Kommissionen i forbindelse med udøvelsen af de gennemførelsesbeføjelser, der er fastsat i retsakter omfattet af proceduren i EF-traktatens artikel 251 Dok.: A5-0250/2003
Under the Commission's draft text, the regulation would apply to anybody covered by social security legislation, an important change welcomed by the Employment Committee. MEPs also approve the Commission's proposal that the list of types of social security scheme to be co-ordinated should not be exhaustive, thus leaving room for further developments.
EP går med til at trække de ændringsforslag tilbage, som er en gentagelse af punkter, der allerede er omfattet af de
The Council, by contrast, is known to favour an exhaustive list.
• fuldt orienteret", som er upræcist i lov mæssig sammenhæng, henvises der til, at lovgiveren skal have "alle oplysninger i henhold til den interinstitutionelle aftale"
Modernising the existing regulation, the Commissioner stressed, would also make it easier for crossborder workers to benefit from social security if required.
EP vedtog en betænkning af den belgiske grønne Monica FRASSONI, hvor EP godkender Rådets fælles holdning til et forslag om at tilpasse de gældende komiteprocedurer.
The committee adopted an amendment to help such people overcome these problems. MEPs also want to include special provisions for retired frontier workers.
Rådets fælles holdning medfører bl.a., at der indføres en række tekniske sproglige ændringer og forbedringer.
And they want to ensure that people who leave their job in one Member State for family reasons do not lose their right to unemployment benefit.
og Henvisningerne til, at Kommissionen vedtager "udkastet til foranstaltninger med ændringer under hensyntagen til ind sigelserne fra EP eller Rådet" ændres til, at Kommissionen simpelthen "tager hen syn til indsigelserne", da ændringsforslag ikke nødvendigvis er den eneste måde, hvorpå Kommissionen kan tage hensyn til EP's indsigelser.
The House also adopted amendments which aim to improve the conditions for crossborder workers and their families as well as retired crossborder workers. MEPs accepted a 5 year transition period for Luxembourg in view of the large number of crossborder workers residing in the country.
Dette kompromis betyder, at de gennem førelsesbeføjelser, der tillægges Kommissionen i langt højere grad vil være undergivet EP's kontrol.
Amendments were also adopted to bring the regulation into line with recent judgments of the Court of Justice on the provision of medical treatment.
EP vedtog en betænkning af det britiske labourmedlem Richard CORBETT om en ændring af reglerne for Kommissionens gennemførelsesbeføjelser. Den 13. maj 2003 be

Lastly, bureaucratic obstacles must be overcome and the system, once in place, must also be managed properly.
Fremme europæiske tv-programmer Direktivet skal medvirke til at fremme den fri bevægelighed for europæiske fjernsynsprogrammer på det indre marked.
For the EPP-ED group, Ria OOMEN-RUIJTEN (NL) stated that her group broadly supported the modernisation of the regulation.
Endvidere skal det bidrage til, at fremme europæiske tv-programmer, der sikrer beskyttelse af mindreårige ogforbrugere via klar identificering og gennemsigtighed, hvad angår reklame.
However, her group had put forward amendments so as to ensure that the regulation be ready for enlargement.
EP opfordrede Kommissionen til snarest at udarbejde sit forslag til en grundlæggende revision af direktivet, da det er utidssvarende (da det blev vedtaget i 1989 var der kun 50 tv-kanaler i Europa, hvorimod der i dag er mere end 2000).
She welcomed the fact that pension regulations in the Union had been simplified and that these now could be included within the scope of the regulation.
Bekymring over ejendomskoncentration EP udtrykte sin bekymring over, at der er en tendens hen imod ejendomskoncentration indenfor medierne, hvilket er en trussel mod mangfoldigheden, ytringsfriheden og fri adgang til information.
She also said that her group had put forward an amendment giving Luxembourg a five-year transition period for implementation due to the high number of migrant workers in the country.
Europæisk kulturområde: Utilstrækkelig støtte!
Of particular concern, however, was the definition of the family unit within the regulation.
40 mio. europæere taler et mindretalssprog Ifølge tal fra EU-Kommissionen taler 40 mio. europæere et mindretalssprog, et tal der efter udvidelsen vil blive forhøjet med ca. 6 mio. I 1983 blev der oprettet en budgetpost til "fremme og beskyttelse af mindretalssprog og -kulturer", men en afgørelse fra Domstolen i 1998 medførte en suspendering af budgetposten.
Sylviane AINARDI (F) for the EUL/NGL Group, backed the principle of better social security coordination and picked out a number of points, such as maternity/paternity leave and the definition of a household, where she said there were discrepancies between different countries.
EP mener derfor, at det er på tide at der skabes et retsgrundlag, således at der kan oprettes en budgetpost.
However, she was concerned about threats to the European social model, especially in countries such as France, Italy and Germany, which were running budget deficits considered excessive under the Maastricht criteria.
Dette kan medvirke til at øge bevidstheden om den fælles europæiske kulturarv i et udvidet EU.
Upward harmonisation of social security was what was needed, and the Maastricht criteria should be reviewed in that light, she concluded.

Any reference to harmonisation of taxation, he underlined, could not be supported nor could the amendments proposed on the payment of unemployment benefit. Overall, despite being in favour of many of the principles contained within the existing regulation, he stated that he would be opposing the rapporteur.

Særligt udsatte EP vedtog en lang række ændringsforslag fra EP's kvindeudvalg.
Returning to the debate, Mrs Lambert clarified that refugees and stateless people were already covered by the existing regulation.
Man peger bl.a. på, at nogle grupper af kvinder er særligt udsatte for vold, såsom kvinder fra mindretalsgrupper, flygtningekvinder, migrantkvinder, kvinder, der lever i fattigdom i landdistrikter, kvinder, der afsoner fængselsdomme, lesbiske m.fl.
She called for a wide definition of the family unit and said rights to social security for family members was a particularly important issue to solve.
