These financial reserves could help finance necessary repairs of infrastructure.
Europa-Parlamentet kræver, at der over EU-budgettetfor 2002 ydes øjeblikkelig hjælp på 1 mia. euro til ofrene for oversvømmelseskatastrofen i Tyskland, Østrig, Tjekkiet og Slovakiet i midten af august.
Parliament recalled that it had, on several occasions, requested an emergency financial instrument for natural disasters.
I beslutningen, der blev vedtaget med 475 stemmer for, 6 imod og 2 hverken/eller, op fordrer EP EU-Kommissionen ril at fremsætte forslag om oprettelse af en EU-kata-strofefond for naturkatastrofer i EU-landene.
Parliament therefore called on the Commission to propose, in the framework of the budgetary procedure, the rapid creation of an EU emergency fund in case of natural disasters in the Member States.
Man fastslår dog samtidig, at en EU-katastrofefond kun kan fungere som supplement til national katastrofehjælp og skadesbetalinger fra forsikringsbranchen.
In establishing this fund, strict criteria on the use of funds and on the definition of what constitutes a natural disaster need to be drawn up.
Formanden meddelte, at Ana PALACIO VALLELERSUNDI (PPEDE, E) havde nedlagt sit mandat for at blive uden rigsminister i Spanien.
Opening the debate on the flooding in Eastern and Central Europe, Bertel HAARDER (ELDR, DK), on behalf of Council, noted that the disaster affected both candidate countries and EU Member States, leading him to comment that this was almost a "Community of fate" or a symbolic reminder that all the countries involved shared the same problems.
Han benyttede lejligheden ril at lykønske det afgåede medlem med den nye værdighed.
The importance of joint European action was therefore underlined as the new countries prepare for membership.

The effects of the disastrous flooding could be seen for some time to come.
Vandabsorberingsevne EP peger på, at denne art naturkatastrofer kan blive hyppigere i Europa.
It was, therefore, all the more appropriate for the EU to contribute to disaster relief and, indeed, he supported the idea of an EU Natural Disaster Fund.
Man henviser til, at visse følsomme områder langs floder og dale har mistet en del af deres vand-
After welcoming support from the European Parliament, he recognised the need for a broad consensus between the institutions on a flexible approach to using EU funds from the

absorberingsevne, fordi der drives intensivt landbrug og er bygget store infrastrukturanlæg langs disse dale og floder, samtidig med at det fortsatte arbejde med udretning og uddybning af floderne af hensyn til sejlbarheden har øget risikoen for oversvommelser.
There was already agreement on the immediate relief programmes, but funding would also be needed for longterm projects to address the problem and he looked forward to the General Affairs Council, at its meeting on 30 September and 1 October, taking concrete decisions here.
Værdig reaktion Formanden for PPE-gruppen, den tyske kristelige demokrat Hans-Gert POETTERING (PPEDE, D) understregede, at der var tale om en af de værste oversvømmelseskatastrofer i Mellemeuropas historie, og han udtrykte medfølelse med de berørte områder i Tyskland, Østrig, Tjekkiet og Slovakiet.
for those suffering to look for European support. In this sense, he expressed his thanks to Commission President Romano PRODI for personally visiting the affected areas and expressing solidarity - a move which he felt had raised the profile of the Commission.
Han takkede den italienske formand for EU-Kommissionen, italieneren Romano Prodi for hans værdige og hurtige reaktion på katastrofen, idet Prodi havde besøgt katastrofeområdet og straks foreslået hurtig EU-hjælp på 500 mio. euro.
He then paid tribute to fire services and other relief workers who had worked selflessly to help the victims.
Poettering mente dog, at der er behov for hurtig EU-støtte på 1 mia. euro.
He then welcomed the support of six political groups in Parliament for a one billion euro strong Fund to help, before emphasising that this was not the moment to call into question the Stability Pact.
De katastrofale oversvømmelser i Tyskland, Østrig, Tjekkiet og Slovakiet gør det nødvendigt med hurtig EU-katastrofehjælp.
On behalf of the Commission, Michel BARNIER told the House that many members of the Commission have had the opportunity to visit areas devastated by flooding.
EU-Kommissionen har lagt op til en EU-katastrofehjælp på 500 mio. euro - og senere en EU-Katastrofefond på 1 mia. euro - men under EP-debatten om oversvømmelseskatastrofen gav flere talere udtryk for, at der er behov for minimum 1 mia. euro i katastrofehjælp nu - og måske omkring 8 mia. euro i alt.
He sent his deepest sympathies on behalf of the Commission to the families of the victims and expressed his gratitude to the emergency services and volunteers.
Samtlige talere udtrykte medfølelse og solidaritet med katastrofens ofre og gav udtryk for, at det er nødvendigt med hurtig og effektiv EU-hjælp til de oversvømmelsesramte om råder.
He was happy to say that the EU reacted quickly to express its solidarity and provide funding.
Tyrkiet og Grækenland Den spanske formand for socialistgruppen Enrique BARÓN (PSE, E) fastslog, at oversvømmelserne i Mellemeuropa er en ægte miljøkatastrofe med katastrofale følger for økonomien og kulturen i området.
For the PES, Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (E) sent his condolences to the families affected and too thanked the vast number of volunteers who came from all parts of Europe. This showed a genuine European Community spirit at a time of need.
Barón mindede i denne forbindelse om jord skælvene i Tyrkiet og Grækenland for et par år siden, som havde øget solidariteten og mindsket uoverensstemmelserne mellem de 2 lande.
He welcomed the decision of Parliament's Budget Committee to support financial assistance and felt it was high time for the distinction between compulsory and noncompulsory expenditure in the EU budget to be abolished, in the interests of flexibility and simplifying procedures.
Bred opbakning Den danske Europaminister Bertel HAARDER understregede, at EU er et fællesskab af værdier, og at der under det uformelle EU-udenrigsministermøde i Helsingør i sidste weekend var bred opbakning til EU-Kommissionens forslag om en EU-katastrofefond.
For the Liberals, Kyösti Tapio VIRRANKOSKI (FIN) too expressed support for European action and funding to help.
Haarder var glad for Kommissionens hurtige reaktion, og han understregede, at det danske EU-formandskab vil yde sit til at løse oversvømmelsesproblemet, og han så i den forbindelse frem til et konstruktivt samarbejde med Europa-Parlamentet.
He recognised the need for a special disaster fund and for the EU to develop policies to promote renewable energy and tackle climate change.
EU's ry blandt borgerne Den tyske PDS'er Helmuth MARKOV (GUE/NGL, D) pegede på, at mange mennesker havde fået ødelagt grundlaget for deres liv, og at EU burde overtage renteudgifterne i en særlig katastrofefond.
He stated that there were two main elements to the management of such disasters -prevention and repair. Prevention, he remarked, was essential.
Markov mente, at EU her kunne gøre meget for at forbedre sit ry blandt borgerne ved hurtig og ubureaukratisk hjælp til de katastroferamte.
By putting in place measures which could prevent flooding or other natural disasters, the overall cost would be lower than simply paying for the repair costs.
Elben og Donau Den tyske grønne Elisabeth SCHROEDTER (Verts/ALE, D) fra Dresden pegede på, at mange er blevet gældsat mange år ud i frem tiden, hvorfor man bør oprette en EU-Katastrofefond, som også skal være åben for ansøgerlandene.
However, Commissioner Barnier said that monies allocated to Structural Funds could be transferred from one priority to another and be used to rebuild infrastructure.
Hun spurgte, om det nu var en god ide at udvide Elben og Donau i for-
He went further by saying that after 2006, the prevention of natural disasters through improvements to infrastructure would be a priority of Structural Fund policy.
Global tankegang og kollektivt mod Den franske EU-kommissær Michel BARNIER fastslog, at alle er chokerede over oversvømmelseskatastrofens omfang.
Commissioner Barnier thanked the European Parliament for its support enabling this money to be allocated swiftly.
Barnier erkendte, at vor indsats i dag ikke tager højde for de fremtidige udfordringer, og han pegede i denne forbindelse på, at katastrofernes hyppighed tager til.
Helmuth MARKOV (EUL/NGL, D) was another speaker to support the special EU measures and the co-ordination of funding from the Regional Fund to help relief.
Jorden har brug for en global tankegang og kollektivt mod og en større indsats for bæredygtig udvikling.
An EU contribution was vital to help regional and local authorities, and he drew attention to the one billion euros available from the European Investment Bank.
Barnier pegede på Kommissionens forslag om

The question now to be asked was whether proposed plans for the rivers Elba and Danube should be continued or whether or not funding should be spent on shoring up flood defences instead.
Drivhuseffekten Den italienske UEN'er Mauro NOBILIA (UEN, I) mente, at klimaet har ændret sig, og at landbrugspolitikken, afskovningen og drivhusvirkningen nu har slået til.
For the UEN, Mauro NOBILIA (I) lent his support for the EU budgetary contribution and too felt it was now necessary to review environmental policy especially with regard to climate change and the greenhouse effect.
EU-ja til statsstøtte til ramte virksomheder Kommissær Michaele SCHREYER glædede sig over, at der med dagens debat er sendt et signal om solidaritet og samarbejde.
would not challenge any national funding to businesses in response to the flooding.
Alle muligheder vil blive anvendt for at handle fleksibelt, hurtigt og effektivt, sagde hun.
Commmissioner Günter VERHEUGEN, responsible for enlargement was struck by the overwhelming human reaction to the flooding, and stated that despite the natural disaster in central European countries, a more positive mindset and a tangible change of attitude could be felt.
Således vil de ramte virksomheder kunne modtage statsstøtte til kompensation for tabt produktion og mistede ordrer, uanset de gældende EU-konkurrenceregler. Samtidig glædede hun sig over tilsagnene om støtte til etablering af en katastrofefond på op til 1 mia. euro.
Commissioner Barnier, responsible for regional policy, stated that all monies would be made available including matched funding from Member States, and that regions outside objective 1 and 2 would also qualify for support from the new emergency finance.
Hun advarede mod at gøre ordningen for bureaukratisk. Hurtig hjælp er dobbelt hjælp, konkluderede hun.

Landmænd mister to års høst Niels BUSK (Venstre) fremhævede, at land bruget i de berørte områder er blevet ramt dobbelt hårdt. Først har de mistet årets afgrøder, og dernæst er de blevet forhindret i at så vintersæden, fastslog han.

Derfor bad han Kommissionen om at tage i betragtning, at støttebehovet for de betrængte landmænd rettelig skal fordeles over to regnskabsår.
He welcomed the lead taken by the Danish Presidency and looked for new policies to encourage renewable energy and sustainable developments.
Efter hans mening har EU's hurtige og resolutte hjælp til bl.a.
Council and Commission statements on Iraq Debate: 04.09.2002
Han garanterede, at det danske formandskab vil gøre alt for at sikre en hurtig behandling i Rådet af de konkrete forslag, som Kommissionen nu skal forelægge.
He was happy to see that money would also be available for candidate countries through preaccession instruments.
Det gælder ikke bare om genopbygning, men også om at forebygge en gentagelse, fastslog han.
Four Commssioners also briefly took the floor.
Samtidig understregede han vigtigheden af, at hjælpen også når ud til de berørte kandidatlande.
First, Commissioner Franz
Bæredygtig udvikling Kommissær Michel Barnier understregede afslutningsvis behovet for en samlet og fleksibel tilgang til problemerne.
On behalf of the Danish Presidency, Bertel HAARDER (ELDR, DK) opened the debate on Iraq by stating that the EU did not hold a historical prejudice towards Iraq.
Han mindede om, at mange mindre samfund er blevet alvorligt ramt af oversvømmelserne.
He also paid tribute to the Iraqi people living in the EU today.
Katastrofehjælpen skal kunne ydes også i de om råder, der ellers ikke er berettiget til at mod tage støtte fra EU, fastslog han.
He then gave an overview of Iraq since the end of the Gulf War, saying that the economic and social conditions had deteriorated considerably.
Endelig frem hævede han behovet for at såvel genopbygningsarbejdet som det forebyggende arbejde sker under hensyn til kravet om en bæredygtig udvikling.
The child mortality rate has doubled, the education system and infrastructure have also suffered and it remained the poorest people and those that are opposed to the regime in Iraq that suffer the most.

FISCHLER with regard to agriculture, said that use of set aside measures could be allocated to the flooded areas.

She remarked that Commissioner Mario MONTI, responsible for competition policy
EP ønsker "kreative sanktioner" - ikke krig!
He stated that the US aim of a "regime change" would require full co operation and discussion with its European allies and the Minister trusted that this would happen.
4.9.2002 mellem FN's generalsekretær og den irakiske udenrigsminister.
It was important to work to end violence in the Middle East and to set-up a viable Palestinian state to live along side Israel.
EU fastholder kravet om, at Irak skal leve op til Sikkerhedsrådets resolutioner og give fuld og uhindret adgang til FN's våbeninspektører. Samtidig henviste han til de mange spekulationer i pressen om et eventuelt forestående amerikansk angreb på Irak.
Similarly, it was vital to work for democracy and respect for human rights in the Arab world as a whole.
Helt konkret har den amerikanske præsident sagt, at USA ønsker et regimeskift i Irak, sagde han.
It was ironic, he said, that this debate in the new millennium had been triggered over means to remove such a dictator.
Men vi er overbevist om, at USA som lovet i givet fald vil konsultere sine europæiske allierede og partnere, konkluderede Bertel Haarder.
He was not not, however, as certain about the answer to this question as others 'whose voices are so loud'.
De fleste talere var enige om, at den forbryderiske militærdiktator Saddam Hussein skal ud, og at EU skal bruge mere "kreative sanktioner" og en "alternativ politik" bl.a. ved at etablere kontakt med oppositionen og det civile samfund i Irak.
The problem now was to find a way of enabling UN inspectors to fulfil the UN resolution providing for unrestricted access to the country. The Iraqi leader consistently refused to respect UN Resolutions, he added, and there was a "legitimate suspicion" that he was in possession of weapons of mass destruction.
De fleste talere var endvidere enige om, at der er en tæt sammenknytning mellem den israelskpalæstinensiske konflikt og en løsning på situationen i Irak.
The EU, he said, must continue to press Iraq to comply with these resolutions and he recognised that there was no disagreement in the House over this point.
Irak bedre stillet uden Saddam Hussein Risikoen for en konflikt stiger dag for dag, sagde kommissær Chris PATTEN.
The challenge was to prevent him using weapons of mass destruction and keep up the pressure on Saddam to comply with UN Resolutions on access for weapons inspectors.
Efter hans mening er der ingen tvivl om, at det irakiske folk er bedre tjent med et nyt regime.
It was also important for Europeans to unite on this issue, he said, rejecting any suggestion that Germany should adopt a unilateral policy here.
Han fastholdt kravet om, at Irak skal samarbejde fuldstændigt med FN's våbeninspektører.
At the same time, the US authorities should share information with Europeans to facilitate building a united coalition opposed to terrorism.
Hvis Irak ikke har noget at skjule, så er der heller ikke nogen grund til at nægte inspektørerne adgang, konkluderede han.
It was, however, vital to look at the consequences of any military action in respect of relations with the Arab world and he called on the USA to work for a multilateral approach to outstanding international problems including the International Criminal Court.
Samtidig mindede han om, at EU er den største yder af humanitær bistand til den almindelige befolkning på trods af de hindringer, som de irakiske myndigheder søger at lægge i vejen.
For the PES leader, Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (E), the burning question was whether there really was a united unanimous agreement by EU leaders in Council after the Elsinore meeting at the weekend. He too
Intet udestående med det irakiske folk Den fungerende rådsformand, den danske Europaminister Bertel HAARDER, under stregede, at EU og de europæiske lande ikke har noget udestående med det irakiske folk.
emphasised that there was no defence for the Saddam regime, although he felt that longterm sanctions could be counter productive. The challenge was to overcome nationalism in the area.
Problemet er, at Saddam Hussein's regime efter Golfkrigen i 1991 forpligtede sig til at give afkald på masseødelæggelsesvåben og langdistanceraketter, men siden 1998 har nægtet adgang for FN's våbeninspektører, fastslog han.
He welcomed the Danish proposal for a Palestinian State in the Middle East as a positive approach to defusing tension in the area. At the same time, he recalled that US intervention in Iraq 10 years ago was far more effective under the auspices of the UN and with the united coalition.
Europas stemme skal høres Chris Patten kædede spørgsmålet om Irak sammen med hele situationen i Mellemøsten.
Bastiaan BELDER (NL) for the EDD group was another speaker supporting the return of UN weapons inspectors.
Han henviste til, at det danske EU-for-mandskab netop har fremlagt en ny fredsplan, hvor der på overbevisende måde argumenteres for oprettelse af en palæstinensisk stat.
He said that Saddam Hussein would have no problem hiding weapons of mass destruction and also called for support for Iraqi opposition groups.
Han understregede vigtigheden af, at Europas stemme bliver hørt i alle disse anliggender.
Marco CAPPATO (IND, I) was another speaker to say that he would want to avoid war at all costs.
Med hensyn til spørgsmålet om, hvorledes man skal gribe ind i et lands suverænitet for at afsætte en brutal diktator, ønskede han blot, at han var Uge så sikker på svaret som dem, der taler så højt Uge for tiden.
He cautioned that the UN inspectors' issue should not act as a smokescreen for the real suffering of the Iraqi people.
Vanskelig humanitær situation Bertel Haarder fremhævede, at den irakiske befolkning befinder sig i en vanskelig humanitær situation på grund af de internationale sanktioner.
An American strike on Iraq could in no way be compared to the policy of Winston Churchill at the start of the Second World War following the illusion made to this by US Defence Secretary RUMSFELD.
Irak er et land med dårlig økonomi, ringe sundhedstilstand og en nedbrudt infrastruktur.
A broad coalition must be established and he warned against any unilateral action.
Derfor yder det internationale samfund en betydelig humanitær bistand med EU som den største bidragyder, bl.a. gennem "ohe for mad"-programmet.
He called for a united voice in Europe, and called for a United States of Europe on issues such as Iraq and the Earth Summit in Johannesburg.
USA ønsker et regimeskift På baggrund heraf glædede han sig over de positive signaler, der er kommet fra møder
Following the opening up of the floor to the "catch the eye of the President" format, Jim NICHOLSON (EPPED, Northern Ireland) said that there was a huge amount of unfinished business left from the end of the Gulf War.
Advarsel mod amerikansk enegang Ondets rod ligger i Irak, ikke i USA, fastslog Hans-Gert POETTERING (PPEDE, D).
Andre BRIE (D) for the GUE/NGL group said that as well as Iraq, Iran also posed a serious threat, and that previous wars in the region including the Iran Iraq war had suited the West.
Han mindede om, at Saddam Hussein har anvendt kemiske våben mod sin egen befolkning og har nægtet FN's våbeninspektører adgang.
He continued by saying that his group rejected a war and thought that the embargo should be lifted except for arms exports to Iraq.
Samtidig fastholdt han, at EU og USA bør nå frem til en fælles holdning. Der
Saddam must comply with UN resolutions and allow access for inspectors, she said, adding that there was ample evidence that he did have weapons of mass destruction.
