Biokütused võivad olla nii head kui halvad
Workshop on biofuels - eco saviours or destroyers?
"Mõned aastad tagasi nähti biokütuseid kui kliimaprobleemi lahendust.
"A few years ago biofuels were seen as the solution to the climate change problem.
Täna ütlevad mõned, et biokütused ei ole lahendus, vaid osa probleemist."
Today, some say that biofuels...are not part of the solution but part of the problem".
Selliste sõnadega kirjeldas Hollandi parlamendiliige Dorette Corbeys (PSE) teisipäeval kokkutulnud töögrupi arutelu, mis keskendus küsimusele, kuidas toota keskkonda säästvaid biokütuseid.
Scientists, NGOs and representatives from biofuel exporting countries joined MEPs to discuss whether biofuels are sustainable and to what extent they can help tackle climate change and reduce CO2 emissions.
Mis on biokütused?
What exactly are biofuels?
Tavaliselt biodiisel ja bioetanool, mis on tehtud taimedest nagu mais, soja, suhkruroog, raps ja palm.
Biofuels are made from plants and are used principally for transport.
Kasutatakse peamiselt transpordi kütuseks.
The most well known biofuels are bio-diesel and bio-ethanol.
Esiteks energiajulgeoleku pärast, et sõltuda vähem gaasi ja nafta impordist.
At the moment biofuels are made from maize, soya rape seed or sugar cane and palm.
Mis siis muret teeb?
Why are they under a cloud?
Keskkonnamõju: Tööstuslikul põllumajandusel on oma kõrvalmõjud; bioloogilise mitmekesisuse kaotamine; kõrge veekasutus tootmises; metsade langetamine, sest vaja on põllumaad.
Also, the clearing of large tracts of forest to grow biofuels, especially in South America, may lead to the destruction of biodiversity, huge water usage and the felling of forests that act as huge "carbon sinks".
Sotsiaalsed mõjud: arengumaade maakonfliktid; toidunappus ja -kallidus (biokütused võivad toidu hinda tõsta)
Then there are the potential social impacts to indigenous people and others having their homes and livelihoods threatened by forest clearance, as well as possible food shortages that could accompany it as land is used for fuel not food.
Kas energiajulgeolek suureneks?
How efficient should biofuels be before we use them?
Neil Parish, parlamendi põllumajanduskomisjoni esimees ütles kohtumisel, et biokütuste üks eeliseid on energiajulgeolek.
The European Commission believes if a biofuel offers a 30% reduction in such gases then it is worth embracing.
"Aga kui ainus võimalus eemärkideni jõudmiseks on biokütuste importimine, siis on varustamine selgelt sama haavatav kui nafta ja gaasi puhul."
Parliament's Environment Committee has adopted a report, drafted by Ms Corbey,calling for 50% reductions to justify biofuel use.
Bas Eickhout Hollandi Keskkonna Hindamise Agentuurist teatas, et küsimus ei ole must-valge.
Greg Archer, from the UK's Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership, suggested that biofuels should be “rewarded according to what savings they provide".
"Biokütustesse puutuv on hall tsoon."
He believed it was "wrong to think that European produce is always more sustainable".
Corbey: head ja halvad biokütused
The right crop at the right place
"Tuleb teha vahet heade ja halbade biokütuste vahel.
There is still hope for biofuels, but we need to differentiate between good and bad biofuels.
Head biokütused on parema keskkonna hüvanguks."
Sustainability criteria are the way forward: good biofuels can contribute to a better environment".
Töögrupi täisraport ilmub peagi EP veebilehe rubriigi "Tegevus" all (komisjonide ja uuringute sektsioonis).
A full report of the workshop including all presentations will be published in the "Activities" section of the website shortly.
Hetkel räägivad nõukogu ja parlament läbi kütuste kvaliteedi direktiivi osas.
The Parliament and EU Ministers in the Council are currently negotiating a possible agreement on a revised fuel quality directive.
Juhul, kui saadakse kokkuleppele, läheb Corbey raport täiskogule.
Once these negotiations are concluded the Corbey report will be presented in plenary.

Rahvas näeb Euroopa Parlamenti otsustusjõulisema institutsioonina
Eurobarometer: EP should focus on terrorism, climate change, consumer issues
Terrorismivastane võitlus, kliimamuutus, tarbija- ning tervisekaitse - need peaksid vastanute arvates olema parlamendi poliitilised prioriteedid.
That is the broad thrust of a new Eurobarometer opinion poll published on the Parliament on 5 March.
Uuriti inimeste teadmisi, kuvandit ja ootusi seoses Euroopa Parlamendiga.
However, a majority felt they were not well informed about its activities.
Palun andke infot!
Power and influence
Enamik vastanutest (43%) arvas, et Euroopa Parlamendil on Euroopa Liidu institutsioonidest suurim otsustusjõud.
A key part of the survey was the extent to which the power of the relative European institutions is perceived by the public at large.
14% vastanutest arvas, et suurima otsustusjõuga on Euroopa Komisjon ning 10% meelest Euroopa Liidu Nõukogu.
In the poll people felt that the Parliament had the greatest decision making power (43% of those polled) compared to the European Commission (14%) and the Council (10%).
Vastanutel on parlamendi suhtes peamiselt positiivne (39%) või neutraalne (41%) kuvand.
With regards to image, 39% of people either have a positive or a neutral (41%) image of the parliament.
Uuringu üks nõrgimaid kohti avaldus seal, kus 73% eurooplastest teatas, et nad on halvasti või väga halvasti teavitatud Euroopa Parlamendi tegevuse suhtes.
In terms of the information people have about the parliament then 73% said that in general terms that they feel badly or very badly informed about the parliament's activities.
Teadmiste kontrolliks esitasid küsitlejad vastanutele mõne viktoriiniküsimuse.
A series of questions were asked to test people's general knowledge about the European Parliament and its activities.
Vastused kinnitasid, et teadmised on õhukesed.
One of the key questions was to ask people when the next European Parliamentary elections will be held.
Näiteks teatas 75% vastanutest, et nad ei tea, millal toimuvad järgmised Euroopa Parlamendi valimised.
In this it found that 75% of people did not know when they would be taking place.
Vaid 10% küsitletutest vastas õigesti, märkides, et Euroopa Parlamendi valimised toimuvad juunis 2009.
In the survey only 10% of those polled knew the date which is June 2009 when they will be held in all 27 EU members.
Inimeste ootused parlamendile
Role roaming, REACH, bathing water noted
Hinnates Euroopa Parlamendi tegevust, leidsid vastajad, et parlament on mänginud olulist rolli mobiilside rändlustasude, lennufirmade musta nimekirja, kemikaalide direktiivi REACH ja suplusvee kvaliteedi õigusloome vastuvõtmisel.
The survey found that people in the whole were quite aware of the role MEPs and the Parliament had played in several key European pieces of legislation in the last years.
Kodanike hinnangul peaksid Euroopa Parlamendi esmatähtsad teemad olema võitlus terrorismi (44%) ja kliimamuutuste vastu (40%) ning tarbija- ja rahvatervise kaitse (39%).
On the REACH chemicals legislation which documented and recorded many types of substances and the roaming regulation to reduce phone bills whilst abroad, respectively 70% and 55% of respondents were aware of the Parliament's key role.
Parlament ja väärtused
Policies and values
Mis puudutab väärtusi, siis eurooplaste meelest peaks Euroopa Parlament tegelema inimõiguste kaitsega maailmas (58%), soolise võrdõiguslikkuse (41%) ning Euroopa Liidu liikmesriikide vahelise solidaarsuse tagamisega (36%).
The question as to which values the Parliament should be defended and promoting found that 58% want it to defend human rights, 41% equality between men and women and 36% want it to act as a bridge to encourage solidarity between EU members.

Parlamendiliikmed rahvusvahelisest naistepäevast
MEPs give us their thoughts on International Women's Day - 8 March
Naistepäev - nõukogudeaja jäänuk?
Smiling for women's rights
Laupäeval, 8. märtsil on rahvusvaheline naistepäev.
This weekend sees International Women's Day - 8 March - being marked around the world.
Mõnes riigis ei pöörata päevale suurt tähelepanu, mõnes riigis on see riigipüha.
Ahead of the celebrations we asked some members of the Women's Rights Committee their views on the day, its significance in their country and how it is marked.
Küsisime temalt ja mõnelt saadikult veel, mis tähtsust kannab naistepäev.
Portuguese Socialist Edite Estrela, a vice-chair of the committee said, "in spite of the advances, there is still a long way ahead and many obstacles to overcome.
Naiste õiguste komisjoni aseesimees Edite Estrela (PSE, PT) ütles, et hoolimata vähenevast ebavõrdsusest kannatavad Euroopa naised ikka veel diskrimineerimise all, seda perekonnas, poliitikas ja tööl.
Women continue to suffer all kinds of discrimination: in the family, in the labour market, in politics.
"Naised pääsevad viimastena tööjõuturule ja nad on esimesed, kes muutuvad töötuks," ütles Estrela.
Women are the last to access the labour market and the first to get unemployed.
"Poliitika on ikka veel meeste maailm.
And politics is still a man's kingdom.
Seadused on progressiivsed, kuid hoiakud tagurlikud."
Overall, laws are progressive, but mentalities remain retrograde."
Ungaris kingivad mehed naistele, sõpradele, sugulastele, abikaasadele ja tütardele naistepäeval lilli.
She said that they can draw on "a tradition that represents at least nine decades of struggle for equality, justice, peace and development".
"Ma olen kindel, et minu abikaasa ja kaks poega mõtlevad minu peale ning muudavad selle päeva väikese kingituse näol eriliseks," ütles Gurmai.
Around the world demonstrations, conferences, newspaper and TV programmes use the day to highlight some of the issues that women face around the world.
"Loomulikult on minu jaoks nende armastus kõige olulisem kingitus, mis ma elas saada võin."
Spanish Green Raül Romeva i Rueda said that in Spain "the focus will be on three issues: violence against women and how to fight it, the reform of the legislation on abortion and the pay gap".
Anna Záborská (PPE-DE, SK) sõnul võivad uutel liikmesriikidel naistepäevast olla halvad mälestused.
Although Women's Day puts women's fight for equality centre stage, increasingly they are finding allies among men.
"Enamus slovakke mõistavad naistepäeva kui sotsialismi jäänukit, kuna see on seotud endise totalitaarse režiimiga.
Sweden's Eva-Britt Svensson (GUE/NGL) said "more and more men are starting to show support for gender issues".
Isegi kui naistepäev on läbi teinud oma renessansi, ei tähistata seda enam vanas stiilis, mil see oli üks propaganda vahenditest."
In Hungary "men give flowers (snowdrops and carnations) to their friends, relatives, colleagues, wives and daughters.

Üleilmastumine - kas vaid ohud või ka võimalused?
Globalisation: fears and opportunities
See toob kaasa uusi võimalusi nagu kaubavahetus ning töökohtade arvu suurenemine maailmas.
On 4 March in Brussels MEPs, experts and representatives of the EU's Foundation for Living and Working conditions debated the positive and negative aspects of globalisation.
Samas kardavad ELi kodanikud, et seoses üleilmastumisega tuleb keegi ja võtab nende töökoha.
The need to tackle inequality, invest in human capital and a call for a realistic approach were among the themes raised during the hearing.
Euroopa Parlament ja Euroopa Elu- ja Töötingimuste Parandamise Sihtasutus korraldasid 4. märtsil seminari, millel arutasid üleilmastumisega seotud küsimusi.
Speaking for the Dublin based Foundation for Living and Working conditions, Donald Storrie drew some historical parallels with what was happening to the world economy.
2003. aastal tehtud Eurobarometeri uuring näitas, et ligi 40% tollasest 15liikmelisest ELi kodanikest uskus, et üleilmastumine mõjutab elu negatiivselt.
Referring to recent turbulence and insecurity in the international credit market he went on to warn that "free financial markets are the Achilles heel of the globalisation process".
Kliimamuutus ja vajadus tegeleda keskkonnaküsimustega
Some of the effects of globalisation can be seen in European companies outsourcing production to Asia where labour and costs are significantly lower than in Europe.
Tehnilised arengud ning nende mõju töö organiseerimisele
They then sell their products back into the European market.
Globaliseerumisega Kohanemise Fond
"Invest, invest, invest and focus on human capital"
2007. aasta alguses lõi EL Globaliseerumisega Kohanemise Euroopa Fondi, et pehmendada maailma kaubandusvoogude muutumisega kaasnevat mõju.
Also under discussion was the European Globalisation adjustment Fund (EGF) set up in early 2007 to fund measures to keep people in employment.
Samuti on üleilmastumise mõjude pehmendamiseks hea elukestev õpe, mobiilsus, sotsiaalne dialoog ning uute tehnoloogiate kasutuselevõtmine.
The fund was established to underwrite half of the cost of looking for a job, training and entrepreneurial support.
Stephen Hughes sotsiaaldemokraatide seast ütles, et üleilmastumise väljakutse on ebavõrdsuse lahendamine.
It was specifically designed for cases where there are over 1,000 redundancies in one company.
"Investeeri, investeeri, investeeri ja pööra ma põhitähelepanu inimkapitalile," ütles akadeemik Serafino Negrelli.
For Portuguese MEP José Silva Peneda (EPP-ED) the fund "was a clear response to globalisation, for the first time, three (EU) institutions recognised that globalisation has both positive aspects and negative consequences".
Osalejad tunnistasid, et üleilmastumisega on seotud rohkem küsimusi kui vastuseid.
Rolph Van der Hoeven of the International Labour Organisation made a plea for realism and for national actions.
"Aga me ei peaks olema liiga pessimistlikud ja peame vastama inimeste vajadustele," kommenteeris Alejandro Cercas sotsiaaldemokraatide fraktsioonist.
He cited the mining and textile industries and told those present that "Europe could not protect bad jobs".
20080229STO22607 Euroopa vananeb.
He added, "targeted politics will never replace national social programmes.
Kuidas võidelda demograafilise kriisiga?
Governments may not push all responsibilities to Brussels".

Kohtumised Jaapani parlamendiga ( Kokkai ) toimuvad alates 1979. aastast igal aastal vaheldumisi Jaapanis ja Euroopas.
Meetings with the Imperial Diet of Japan have been held on an annual basis since 1979, alternately in Japan and in Europe.
Alates 2006. aastast tulevad kokku vastavate delegatsioonide juhatused igal aastal, mis võimaldab mõlemapoolset paremat teadlikkust poliitilistest muutustest.
Since 2006 the bureaux of the respective delegations have met annually, permitting greater sensitivity to political developments to develop on both sides.
Lisaks kohtuvad mõlema poole parlamendikomisjonid korrapäraselt konkreetse suunitlusega uurimisvisiitide (põhiseaduse reform, majandus- ja rahandusküsimused, keskkond) ajal.
The parliamentary committees of the two parties meet regularly for study meetings on specific topics (constitutional reform, economic and monetary affairs, the environment).

Euroopa Parlament sai esimest korda kokku 50 aastat tagasi.
We let the images and video clips speak for themselves as we look back at some of the most memorable moments of the last 50 years.
Kui siis nimetasid saadikud ametisse rahvusparlamendid, siis täna valivad kodanikud Euroopa Parlamendi saadikud.
It forms part of the celebrations to mark the day on 19 March 1958 when 142 delegates assembled for the first meeting of the then European Parliamentary Assembly.
2008. aasta märtsikuus Strasbourgis toimunud istungil tähistas Euroopa Parlament oma poolesaja aastast tähtpäeva.

Vaadake alljärgnevaid videoklippe parlamendi esimestest sammudest kuni tänapäevani välja.
Former EP Presidents, members of national Parliaments and leaders of the other EU Institutions will gather to mark the occasion.
Kõik see pidi põhinema inimeste, teenuste, kaupade ja kapitali vabal liikumisel.
The codecision procedure has given the Parliament equal power with the Council of Ministers in areas including, transport, the environment and consumer protection.
Loodi ka Euroopa Parlamentaarne Assamblee, mille avaistung toimus 19. märtsil 1958 Strasbourgis.
Along with the Council Parliament is also the EU’s budgetary authority, deciding each year on expenditure.
Toona oli parlamendil vaid nõuandev roll.
It also plays a supervisory role over other EU institutions.
Tänaseks on Euroopa Parlamendil laialdane otsustusõigus õigusloome ja eelarve osas, ning kontrolli- ja järelevalveõigus Euroopa Komisjoni üle.
It began as a Common Assembly for the European Coal and Steel Community, which came into force in 1952.
Kuni esimeste otseste valimisteni 1979. aastal nimetasid saadikud ametisse rahvusparlamendid.
After the signature of the Treaty of Rome in 1957 founded the European Economic Community and Euratom a Common Parliamentary Assembly was created for all three communities.
50. aastapäeva pidustused Euroopa Parlament tähistas oma 50. aastapäeva kolmapäeval, 12. märtsil Strasbourgis toimunud istungil.
The first meeting of the combined body was held in Strasbourg in March 1958.
Esines Euroopa Liidu Noorteorkester.
In 1958 the world looked very different from now.
Täiskogul pöördusid parlamendi poole kõnega parlamendi president Hans-Gert Pöttering, nõukogu eesistujast Sloveenia peaminister Janez Janša ning ja komisjoni president José Manuel Barroso.
The Cold War and the arms race was still raging, President Eisenhower was in Washington, President de Gaulle was elected President of France and a coup by Army officers in Iraq sent a shudder through the Middle East.

Elections and the European Parliament
2004. aasta valimistel 25 riiki Kuni esimeste otseste valimisteni 1979. aastal nimetasid saadikud ametisse iga liikmesriigi rahvusparlamendid.
Before direct elections were held in 1979, MEPs were appointed by and from the national Parliaments of the Members of the Community (as it then was).
Esimestel otsestel valimistel valiti kokku 410 parlamendiliiget.
In 1979 the first direct elections were held and voters in 9 countries elected 410 MEPs to represent them.
2004. valisid Euroopa Parlamendi saadikuid juba 25 liikmesriigi kodanikud.
