Sloveenia välisminister märkis arutelu avades, et Euroopa Liit on lubanud, et Lääne-Balkani riikidel on Euroopa perspektiiv.
Opening the Strasbourg plenary session, EP President Hans-Gert Pöttering made a statement on Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence.
"Nüüd on aeg oma lubadusi meenutada," märkis ta ning kutsus liitu üles Lääne-Balkani riike toetama.
Mr Pöttering said the decision "was expected and reflects the will of the people of Kosovo".
Saadikud kiitsid heaks raporti, mis käsitleb majanduspoliitika üldsuuniseid aastateks 2008-2010 .
Stressing that Kosovo "does not set a precedent" because its situation as a UN protectorate is "unique", the president called for calm on all sides.
Parlamendiliikmed teevad raportis terve rea soovitusi Euroopa majanduse kasvupotentsiaali suurendamiseks, alates avaliku halduse ajakohastamisest ja riigieelarvete konsolideerimisest kuni keskkonnasõbralike tehnoloogiate väljatöötamise ja era- ja avaliku sektori koostöö edendamiseni.
The European Union, said Mr Pöttering, had a duty "to encourage policymakers in Kosovo to be responsible and create democratic political institutions that respect the rights and freedoms of all citizens in the framework of a multiethnic Kosovo" seeking to live on good terms with its neighbours.
Raporti poolt hääletas 519, vastu 102 ja erapooletuks jäi 31 saadikut.
Concluding, the EP president said "the countries of the western Balkans have a European perspective".
Täiskogu kiitis esimese lugemise raames heaks toodete turustamise paketi.
An interim report will now be produced by May, pending the committee's final report.
Kuna nõukoguga saavutati kokkulepe, on menetlus sellega lõppenud.

It should be favourable to companies, in particular small and medium sized enterprises, and geared to renewing growth and generating employment.
Täiskogu võttis vastu kaks ühtekuuluvuspoliitikat puudutavat raportit.
Galileo is welcomed as a key EU project in industrial and research policy.
Saadikud märgivad, et lisaks riikidevahelisele lähenemisele tuleks tähelepanu pöörata ka piirkondadevahelisele lähenemisele.
MEPs say that Europe cannot afford current high levels of unemployment, and call for reforms of labour markets and welfare systems to strengthen incentives and opportunities to work.
Lisaks on saadikud rahul, et Lissaboni lepinguga kuulutatakse ka territoriaalne ühtekuuluvus liidu eesmärgiks.
It is unacceptable, says the resolution, that people still live below the poverty line, and calls for a comprehensive approach towards eliminating poverty in the EU by 2010.

Osaistungjärgu avamine:
MEPs call on better use of Community law infringement procedures against Member States
Osaistungjärgu avas Euroopa Parlamendi president Hans-Gert PÖTTERING.
More resources, a better use of the infringement procedure and increased involvement of Parliament's committees are main proposals put forward by the European Parliament in its report on the monitoring the application of Community law.
President Pöttering teavitas saadikuid sellest, et Kosovo parlament kuulutas 17. veebruaril välja iseseisvuse .
MEPs noted that the accession of the 10 new Member States had no impact on the number of infringements of Community law, as it may have been the case.
Pöttering märkis, et: "See otsus oli etteaimatav ja väljendab Kosovo kodanike tahet".
Therefore, Parliament asks the Commission to provide reassurance that this is not due to a lack of registration of the complaints or of internal resources or "to a political decision to be more indulgent towards those Member States"
Pöttering kinnitas seejärel, et "meie kohustus on innustada Kosovo liidreid täitma oma kohustust ja tagama vabaduse, demokraatia ja heanaaberlikud suhted kõigi oma naabritega".
According to MEPs, the main obstacle to the effectiveness of the infringement procedure (articles 226 and 228 of the EC Treaty), designed to oblige Member States to implement EU law properly, is its length and the limited use of Article 228.
President Pöttering teavitas saadikuid samuti sellest, et Läti saadik Tatjana Ždanoka palus, et kaitstaks tema immuniteeti.
According to article 228, the Commission has power to act against a Member State that does not comply with a judgement of the European Court of Justice, by issuing a series of written warnings.
Palve saadeti edasi õigusasjade komisjoni.
The article then allows the Commission to ask the Court to impose a financial penalty on the concerned Member State.
Lisaks tehti ettepanek lükata edasi hääletus Lissaboni lepingu osas.
The role of the European Parliament and national parliaments
Palvet ei rahuldatud.
MEPs propose to involve more Parliament’s committees in monitoring the application of Community law.
Samuti kuulutas president Pöttering välja kirjaliku deklaratsiooni selvehallide kohta.
Text adopted on monitoring the application of Community Law
Muudatusi päevakorda ei tehtud.

Lissaboni leping on kehtivate lepingute märkimisväärne edasiarendus
Ratify the Lisbon Treaty this year says the European Parliament
Täiskogu kiitis ülekaaluka enamusega heaks Lissaboni lepingu raporti, milles saadikud ütlevad, et "tervikuna on Lissaboni leping kehtivate lepingute märkimisväärne edasiarendus, millega antakse ELile suurem demokraatlik vastutus ja tõhustatakse otsuste tegemist" ning "tugevdatakse ELi kodanike õigusi liidu suhtes ja parandatakse liidu institutsioonide tõhusat toimimist".
The Lisbon Treaty would enhance the European Union's democratic accountability, better protect citizens' rights and improve the functioning of EU institutions.
Saadikud rõhutavad, et leping tuleb ratifitseerida varakult enne 2009. aasta Euroopa Parlamendi valimisi.
Member States should ratify it by the end of this year, to pave the way for the June 2009 European elections, said the European Parliament in an own-initiative report adopted with 525 votes in favour, 115 against and 29 abstentions.
Raporti poolt hääletas 525, vastu 115 ja erapooletuks jäi 29 saadikut.
The vote represents the free will of the people you represent.
Hääletusele eelnes arutelu Lissaboni lepingu teemal (arutelust lähemalt allpool).
This Treaty gives the EU the possibility to function properly and improves democratic structures."
Demokraatliku vastutuse suurenemine
More democratic accountability
Parlamendiliikmed tervitavad asjaolu, et Euroopa Parlamendile ning riiklikele parlamentidele suurema rolli andmisega suurendatakse demokraatlikku vastutust.
The Lisbon Treaty would give the European and national parliaments a bigger role in the decision-making process, and thus raise the EU's democratic profile, says the report.
Lissaboni lepingu alusel peavad kõik Euroopa õigusaktid (ka eelarve ja justiits- ja siseküsimused), kui mõned erandid välja arvata, saama võrdsetel tingimustel nõukogu ja Euroopa Parlamendi heakskiidu.
In fact, with just a few exceptions, it would place the Council and the European Parliament would on an equal footing as lawmakers, notably in the budgetary procedure and in justice and home affairs.
Lisaks valib Euroopa Parlament ülemkogu ettepaneku alusel Euroopa Komisjoni presidendi, kusjuures ülemkogu peab võtma arvesse Euroopa Parlamendi valimisi.
Moreover, the President of the Commission, proposed by the European Council on the basis of the European election results, would be elected by the European Parliament.
Kodanike õiguste tugevdamine ning selguse suurendamine
More rights and clarity for citizens
Saadikud on rahul, et Lissaboni leping tugevdab kodanike õiguseid.
The report also welcomes the fact that the Lisbon Treaty would strengthen citizens' rights.
Näiteks muutub õiguslikult siduvaks ELi põhiõiguste harta, kus sätestatakse kõik kodaniku-, poliitilised, majanduslikud ja sotsiaalsed õigused.
For example, the binding nature of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights offers greater certainty that citizens' rights will be fully respected, because any action taken by the EU institutions would have to pass this test.
Samuti kehtestatakse Euroopa kodanikualgatus, mis võimaldab kodanikel esitada ettepanekuid nendes küsimustes, mille puhul nad leiavad, et ELi õigusakt on vajalik aluslepingute rakendamiseks.
Introducing a right of initiative for EU citizens, by enabling them to put proposals to the Commission, would step up their participation in the EU decision-making process.
Samuti paneb uus leping paremini paika eri osapoolte pädevused.
Finally, the new treaty would also improve clarity and allow citizens better to understand the EU's role and functions.
Suurem tulemuslikkus
Greater effectiveness
Raportis tuuakse esile muu hulgas järgmised muudatused: märkimisväärselt suureneb nende valdkondade arv, mille puhul võetakse nõukogus otsused vastu kvalifitseeritud häälteenamusega; uus topelthäälteenamuse süsteem muudab nõukogus otsuseni jõudmise lihtsamaks; liidu välispoliitika kõrge esindaja ning välissuhete volinik liidetakse ühtseks komisjoni asepresidendiks/ välis- ja julgeolekupoliitika kõrgeks esindajaks, mis tagab liidu välistegevuse suurema sidususe.
Members also welcome the provisions that seek to improve the Union's ability to act, noting that greater use of qualified majority voting, replacing unanimity, would facilitate agreements in the Council, and that the new European Council President and High Representative for foreign policy High Representative should improve the coherence of EU action.
Samuti peaks liidu tulemuslikkust suurendama sambastruktuurist loobumine ning liidu eesmärkide parem määratlemine sellistes valdkondades nagu kliimamuutused, lapse õigused, Euroopa naabruspoliitika, humanitaarabi, energia, teadusuuringud, turism, sport ning rahvatervise ja kodanikukaitse küsimused.
Abolishing the pillar structure and better defining EU aims in the fields of climate change, children's rights, energy, space, tourism, sport, public health and civil protection would also enhance the EU institutions' capacity to deliver and address people's concerns, said the House.
Probleem riiklike eranditega
Concerns on national exceptions
Raportis väljendatakse uue lepingu suhtes ka kriitikat.
Members nonetheless voice some concerns about the new Treaty.
Saadikud kahetsevad, et loobutud on põhiseadusele suunatud lähenemisviisist, ehkki nad tunnistavad, et see oli vajalik kokkuleppe saavutamiseks.
First, they regretted that the "constitutional approach" had been abandoned, whilst acknowledging that this had been necessary to secure agreement among Member States.
Ka kritiseeritakse teatud liikmesriikidele tehtavaid erandeid politseikoostöö ja kriminaalõiguse ning põhiõiguste harta osas.
They also criticise the special arrangements made for some Member States in the field of police co-operation and criminal law and the Charter of Fundamental Rights.
Kodanike informeerimine
Need to inform citizens
Saadikud paluvad, et liikmesriigid näitaksid üles maksimaalset poliitilist pühendumust, et tagada uue lepingu ratifitseerimine enne 1. jaanuarit 2009.
MEPs reiterate their appeal to Member States to guarantee maximum political commitment to ensure that the new treaty enters into force well before the EP elections in June 2009.
Saadikud nõuavad samuti, et ELi institutsioonid ja riikide ametiasutused teeksid võimalikult suuri pingutusi, et teavitada Euroopa kodanikke selgelt ja objektiivselt Lissaboni lepingu sisust.
Finally, the report calls on national authorities and EU institutions to do their best to inform citizens about the Lisbon Treaty's aims and content.
Sellega seoses nõuavad nad Lissaboni lepinguga revideeritud konsolideeritud aluslepingute viivitamatut avaldamist, mis pakuks kodanikele selgema alusteksti liidu kohta.
To this end, the EP asked that a consolidated version of the treaties be published as soon as possible.
Kuidas mõjutab Lissaboni leping Euroopa Parlamenti?
Explanatory statement of the report - New powers for the European Parliament explained
Lissaboni leping suurendab olulisel määral Euroopa Parlamendi rolli:
(1) The Treaty of Lisbon substantially enhances the role of the European Parliament, the only European institution directly elected by citizens:
parlamendi rolli seadusandluses osalemises tunnustatakse täielikult tänu olemasoleva kaasotsustamismenetluse üldisele kohaldamisele, kusjuures menetlusele antakse tavalise seadusandliku menetluse staatus, kuid samuti tänu parlamendi suuremale osalusele seadusandlikes erimenetlustes.
- its role as a co-legislator is fully recognised, thanks to the general application of the existing codecision procedure, which is elevated to the rank of the ordinary legislative procedure, but also thanks to an increase in Parliament's participation in special legislative procedures.
Nüüdsest näevad kodanikud selgelt, et Euroopa õigusakte võtab vastu üldsust esindav koda ja liikmesriike esindav koda; samal ajal on parlamendi heakskiit reeglina nõutav ka rahvusvaheliste lepingute valdkonnas;
In future the public will clearly be able to see that European legislative acts are adopted by the chamber which represents them and by the chamber which represents States; in parallel, in the field of international agreements its approval will also be required as a general rule;
parlamendil on õigus algatada aluslepingute uus läbivaatamine ja parlament osaleb selles menetluses läbi muutmist ettevalmistava konvendi töös osalemise (nõukogu ei saa otsustada konventi mitte kokku kutsuda ilma parlamendi eelneva heakskiiduta);
- it acquires a concurrent right of initiative for revision of the Treaties and participates in that procedure through its involvement in the Convention convened to prepare the revision (its approval is required for the Council to decide not to convene the Convention);
parlamendi eelarvevolitused, mida ta jagab võrdsel alusel nõukoguga, laienevad nüüd kõigile liidu kulutustele;
- its budgetary powers, which it shares with the Council on an equal footing, now extend to all Union expenditure;
parlamendi poliitilise kontrolli volitused suurenevad, eelkõige komisjoni presidendi valimise kaudu;
- its powers of political scrutiny are enhanced, particularly by means of the election of the President of the Commission;
mitmed liidu elus olulised otsused, mille siiamaani on teinud ainult nõukogu, peab nüüd heaks kiitma ka parlament: otsus alustada tõhustatud koostööd; paindlikkuse klausli kasutamine; teatavad otsused, mis võimaldavad laiendada aluslepingutes ette nähtud õiguslike aluste ulatust, näiteks seoses Euroopa Prokuratuuri või õigusalase koostööga kriminaalasjades;
- various decisions which are of great importance in the life of the Union and which hitherto have rested solely with the Council are now also subject to approval by Parliament: the decision to initiate enhanced cooperation; the use of the flexibility clause enabling the Union to take measures not provided for in the Treaties in order to attain ends for which they do provide; decisions on the use of the general ‘bridging clauses’ (‘passerelles’) substituting qualified majority voting for unanimous voting or replacing special legislative procedures with the ordinary legislative procedure; certain decisions making it possible to extend the scope of legal bases provided for in the Treaties, such as those concerning the European Public Prosecutor's Office or judicial cooperation in criminal matters;
isegi ühise välis- ja julgeolekupoliitika valdkonnas, kus parlamendil otsustamisvolitusi ei ole, antakse Euroopa Parlamendile üldine õigus saada teavet ja osaleda konsulteerimisel.
- even in the field of the common foreign and security policy, where it has no decision-making powers, the European Parliament acquires a general right to be informed and consulted.
Kokkuvõtteks võib öelda, et hoolimata teatavatest valdkondadest, kus oleks võinud minna kaugemale, saab Euroopa Parlament kaasotsustamisõiguse peaaegu kõikides liidu poliitikavaldkondades.
(2) In conclusion it may be said that, although it might have been possible to go further in certain areas, the European Parliament acquires powers of codecision in virtually all areas of Union policy.
Seega tugevdab Lissaboni leping märgatavalt ELi demokraatlikku mõõdet.
The Treaty of Lisbon thus undeniably represents a significant enhancement of the democratic dimension of the Union.
Lisaks ütleb Lissaboni leping, et Euroopa Parlamendis võib olla kõige rohkem 751 liiget.
(3) The number of Members of the European Parliament is limited to 751.
Muudetud Euroopa Liidu lepingus ei sätestata kohtade jaotust liikmesriikide vahel, vaid antakse juhised, kuidas Euroopa Ülemkogu peab Euroopa Parlamendi algatusel ja nõusolekul enne 2009. aasta valimisi "kahanevalt proportsionaalse" esinduse põhimõttel tegema otsuse parlamendi koosseisu kohta, nii et igal liikmesriigil on kõige vähem 6 ja kõige rohkem 96 kohta.
The amended TEU does not state how the seats are to be distributed among Member States, but instructs the European Council, acting on the initiative of the European Parliament and with its assent, to decide, before the 2009 elections, what its composition should be, on the basis of the principle of 'degressively proportional' representation, with a minimum of six and a maximum of 96 seats per Member State.
Richard CORBETT (PSE, UK) rõhutas läbi oma kõne, et uus leping teeb Euroopa Liidu "demokraatlikumaks, tõhusamaks ning kodanikusõbralikumaks".
Opening Wednesday's debate on the Treaty of Lisbon, Richard CORBETT (PES, UK), the first of the two joint rapporteurs, stressed that the new treaty would improve the current treaty by making the European Union more effective and more democratic.
Samuti suureneb Euroopa Parlamendi pädevus, sest parlament valib Euroopa Komisjoni presidendi ning saab täieliku pädevuse eelarve ning põllumajanduse valdkonnas.
The EP's powers would be enhanced in other areas too, enabling it to elect the president of the European Commission and giving it full power over the budget and agriculture.
Lisaks sellele teeb Lissaboni leping põhiõiguste harta õiguslikult siduvaks.
Secondly, the new treaty enshrines the Charter of Fundamental Rights, which will ensure "that EU law does not violate basic standards of human rights".
Samuti muutub liit tõhusamaks, sest laiendatakse kvalifitseeritud häälteenamuse kasutamist ning volinike arvu vähendatakse.
Thirdly, the treaty will make the EU more effective, for example by extending the use of qualified majority voting and rationalising the size of the Commission.
Íñigo MÉNDEZ DE VIGO (EPP-ED, ES) tunnistas, et "mõned meist olid ambitsioonikamad kui Lissaboni leping", kuid et uus leping on "poliitiline lahendus", mis võimaldab saavutada ratifitseerimise kõikides liikmesriikides.
The second joint rapporteur, Íñigo MÉNDEZ DE VIGO (EPP-ED, ES) acknowledged that the loss of the Constitutional Treaty had been a disappointment to some, saying "some of us were more ambitious than the Lisbon Treaty" but he saw the new treaty as "a political solution" to achieving ratification by all the Member States.
Raportöör rõhutas, et Lissaboni leping lubab tõhusamalt tegeleda selliste teemadega nagu kliimamuutused, sisseränne ning tuumarelva levik.
And other issues, such as climate change, immigration and nuclear proliferation, could be better tackled thanks to the Lisbon Treaty, which "gives us the instruments to do these things".
Samuti võimaldab see Euroopa Liidul mängida endale väärilist rolli maailmaareenil.
We still need the political will but at least with this treaty we will have the tools", he stressed.
Joseph DAUL (EPP-ED, FR) märkis kõigepealt, et viis riiki on Lissaboni lepingu juba ratifitseerinud ning et Poola on ratifitseerimisprotsessiga alustanud.
Speaking on behalf of the EPP-ED group, Joseph DAUL (FR) first pointed out that five Member States had already ratified the Lisbon Treaty and that Poland had announced it was starting the process.
Ta rõhutas, et "Lissaboni leping on äärmiselt oluline Euroopa dünaamika taaskäivitamiseks pärast kaheaastast paigalseisu" ning see annab liidule "enam demokraatiat, suurema nähtavuse ning rohkem mõju kodus ja mujal".
He believed the new treaty was "very important for relaunching Europe's momentum" and providing "more democracy, more visibility and greater influence at home and abroad".
Daul andis seejärel ülevaate Lissaboni lepingu eelistest ning avaldas lootust, et leping jõustub 2009. aastal.
He listed in more detail the benefits of the treaty - highlighting among other things the right of Europe's citizens, if a million people sign a petition, to ask the Commission to take action - before calling for speedy completion of the ratification process so that it can enter into force by 2009.
Vaid siis on tema sõnul võimalik olla teiste maailma piirkondadega võrdne.
The rise of India and China and the fact that "the world is now a global village" raised the question "How can we contribute?" but above all it was clear that "we cannot go it alone".
Lissaboni leping võimaldabki tema arvates just sellist ühist tegutsemist.
It was thus on the basis that "unity is strength" that his group gave its backing to the treaty.
Andrew Nicholas DUFF i (ALDE, UK) hinnangul ootab maailm, et EL oleks senisest suutlikum maailmaareenil.
Speaking for ALDE group Andrew DUFF (UK) said the world waits for the EU with a stronger capacity to act on the world stage.
ELis soovitakse aga halvavate kempluste lõppu, mis on liidu tööd pidurdanud.
He looked forward to an improved quality of legislation flowing from Brussels and Strasbourg.
Duff avaldas ka lootust, et Lissaboni lepingu tulemusel paraneb Brüsselist ning Strasbourgist pärinev seadusandlus.
The UK government, he said, was "too frightened" to stand up for the full Treaty as the UK opt-outs had demonstrated.
Samas jääb leping tema hinnangul alla meie püüdlustele.
However, the treaty was "below our aspirations".
Voggenhuber märkis, et "tulevikku vaadates peame järgima lepingu mõtet ning ehitama rahvaste, mitte riikide liitu".
"As we look to the future, we have to fulfil the spirit of the treaty and make a union of people and not of states", he concluded.
Mary Lou McDONALD (GUE/NGL, IE) kõneles "referendumite kartusest" kõikides liikmesriikides peale Iirimaa.
Mary Lou MCDONALD (GUE/NGL, IE) spoke of a "fear of referendums" in all Member States except Ireland.
Lissaboni leping suurendab tema hinnangul vaid sõjalisi kulutusi ning vähendab demokraatiat.
"The Lisbon Treaty commits us to more military spending and increased support of armaments....
Nigel Paul FARAGE (IND/DEM, UK) avaldas arvamust, et rahvale valetatakse jultunult, sest Lissaboni leping on põhimõtteliselt sama mis põhiseaduse leping, sisaldades täpselt samu pädevusi.
"The Lisbon treaty is a bad deal for Ireland, a bad deal for Europe, and a bad deal for the wider world."
Tema hinnangul kardetakse referendumeid korraldada ja seetõttu kasutatakse totalitaarseid vahendeid lepingu läbi surumiseks.
"What the EP is engaged in here in today's debate is nothing less than a massive exercise of deceit" said Nigel FARAGE (IND/DEM, UK).
"Lissaboni leping annab liidule võimaluse reguleerida meie elu kõiki aspekte," märkis Farage, ning avaldas sootust, et Iirimaa elanikud ütlevad lepingule referendumil "ei".
Compared to the failed Constitution, the Lisbon Treaty "is virtually identical in every regard, and it is constitutional because it gives the EU a full legal personality and the ability to amend itself" without having to call an intergovernmental conference.
Íñigo MÉNDEZ DE VIGO (EPP-ED, ES), Richard CORBETT (PSE, UK)
