Rootsi valitsus, mis toetab ametiühingu seisukohta, pidas seda rünnakuks Rootsi sotsiaalse mudeli vastu ning reageeris üsna valuliselt.
Such an organisation is understood to be a structured association of at least two persons who, for material gain, commit serious crimes punishable with at least four years of imprisonment, such as trafficking in weapons, drugs or human beings, economic crimes or money laundering.
Komisjoni president teatas omalt poolt, et volinik McCreevy sõnu mõisteti valesti ja et ta ei ole öelnud, et toetab Läti poolt.
It also proposes to punish leaders of such organisations with an imprisonment of at least ten years and participation, including supportive activities for the organisation, with five years of imprisonment.
Parlament on olukorra selgitamiseks kutsunud nii komisjoni presidendi kui voliniku selgitusi andma.
The proposal also stipulates that Member States must cooperate and consult each other to coordinate their action and decide which Member State will prosecute the alleged offenders.

Toiduainetes kasutatavad lisaaineid
An EU approach to economic immigration?
Keskkonna-, rahvatervise- ja toiduohutuse komisjon võttis vastu Mojca DRČAR MURKO (ALDE, SI) raporti, mis puudutab toiduainetes kasutatavaid lisaaineid, välja arvatud värvaineid.
At committee stage consensus could not be found and the original text by Ewa Klamt (EPP-ED, DE) was heavily amended in an effort to place more emphasis on the integration of legal immigrants.
Raport võeti vastu 42 poolt- ja 11 vastuhäälega, erapooletuid ei olnud.
The report as adopted by the Committee differed so much from her draft that her group voted against, so a renewed and vigorous debate on the substance of the report can be expected as it now goes to the full Parliament for a final decision.
Kaks aastat tagasi teatas komisjon, et soovib toiduainetes kasutatavate lisaainete alase seadusandluse üldiselt üle vaadata.
Answering these and other questions was the purpose of Ms Klamt's report, which was drafted in response to a Commission green paper on economic migration.
Kuna sellega ei ole veel ühele poole saadud, ent vahepeal on olnud palju arenguid toiduainete valdkonnas, on komisjon teinud muudatusi kahte direktiivi:
In its report as adopted, the committee highlighted " the need to adopt a common immigration policy in order to end the exploitation of (illegal) workers " and said that " economic migration is a positive human phenomenon ".
- direktiivi 95/2/EÜ toiduainetes kasutatavate lisaainete (välja arvatud värv- ja magusainete) kohta;
Yet MEPs emphasised that this was only " part of the solution " to Europe's demographic problems and economic difficulties.
- direktiivi 94/35/EÜ toiduainetes kasutatavate magusainete kohta.
Problems within the EU labour market should also be tackled by stimulating innovation and encouraging the employment of older workers.
Samas nähakse komisjoni ettepanekus ette, et teatud tavapäraselt valmistatud lihatoodete (nt toorvorstid) puhul peaks siiski kehtestama maksmimaalsed jääkide kogused.
In a controversial amendment supported by Socialist, Liberal and Green members, the Civil Liberties Committee voted for a European Green Card system as being a good solution to manage legal economic migration.
Raportöör soovib, et selliseid järeleandmisi tehtaks erandkorras, tingimusel et toodetel on asjakohased selgitused ja nad on äratuntavad.
This would create a single administrative procedure for issuing an employment and residence permit for an economic migrant.
Ettepanekus tuuakse välja ka mõned lisaained, mida tulevikus võib kasutada ning mõned, mis tulevikus keelatakse.
However, the admission of a third country national for economic reasons should in principle be linked to the existence of a specific job, the committee added.
Raportöör teeb ettepaneku lubada pullulani (polüsahhariid) kasutamist.
Rapporteur Ewa Klamt had backed this idea in her draft report.
Lisaks teeb raportöör ettepaneku, et sulfitite kasutamine peab kajastuma toote märgistusel, et hoiatada allergilisi ja astmaatilisi inimesi sulfaatide ja sulfitite olemasolust toidus.
The paragraph in her report stipulating that economic migration measures should not be used until EU citizens from new Member States are guaranteed the right to freedom of movement was deleted from the final text.

Sahharovi auhind anti Daamidele Valges, Piirideta Ajakirjanikele ja Hauwa Ibrahimile kahasse
Ladies, Ibrahim and Reporters joint Sakharov prize winners
Euroopa Parlamendi president Josep BORRELL andis kolmapäeval Strasbourgi täiskogu istungil ametlikult üle 2005. aasta Sahharovi mõttevabaduse auhinna.
European Parliament President Josep Borrell presented the 2005 Sakharov Prize for freedom of thought during Wednesday's plenary session in Strasbourg.
Auhinnaga tunnustatakse saavutusi inimõiguste, vähemuste kaitse, rahvusvahelise koostöö ning demokraatia arendamise vallas.
The award recognises achievements in human rights, protection of minorities, defence of international cooperation and the development of democracy.
Laureaate on sel aastal kolm: Kuuba opositsioonirühmitus Daamid Valges, Nigeeria inimõiguste jurist Hauwa Ibrahim ning rahvusvaheline organisatsioon Piirideta Ajakirjanikud.
This year it was awarded to three laureates: Cuban protest movement "Damas de Blanco", Nigerian human rights lawyer Hauwa Ibrahim and "Reporters without Borders".
Kuigi laureaate on kolm, anti auhind üle vaid Piirideta Ajakirjanikele ja Hauwa Ibrahimile, sest Kuuba valitsus tegi Daamidele Valges Kuubast lahkumise võimatuks.
"We have followed your work, we have followed your struggle" were the words President Borrell used to salute the Sakharov winners.
President Borrell ütles oma sõnavõtus, et ehkki auhinda ei saa Daamidele hetkel üle anda, viiakse tseremoonia siiski läbi ning auhind antakse üle nii pea kui võimalik.
He condemned the refusal of the Cuban authorities to allow the Ladies in White to attend but said that, as with some previous winners such as Nelson Mandela, the Parliament would continue with the award in spite of the oppressive restrictions imposed on the winners.
Borrell jätkas, öeldes et "Laureaate ühendab võitlus vabaduse ja inimväärikuse nimel ....
To the Ladies in White he praised their "willingness to say in public what the (political) prisoners could not."
Nad sümboliseerivad, igaüks omal moel, võitlust inimõiguste tagamise nimel kogu maailmas.
To Hauwa Ibrahim he spoke of the Parliament's admiration for "your determination to uphold the law" and her example to women "who want to escape from ignorance and poverty."
Paljud eurooplased peavad inimõiguseid iseenesestmõistetavaks, ent miljonitele inimestele maailmas on need kaugeks unistuseks.
Directing his comments towards Robert Ménard of Reporters without Borders, President Borrell praised their work by saying that "there cannot be democracy without pluralistic information."
Seetõttu on meil eriline vastutus inimõiguste kaitsmisel ja edendamisel terves maailmas."
Finally, to assembled MEPs he ended his introduction by quoting Voltaire who said that "freedom of expression is what separates us from tyranny."
Daamid Valges (“damas de blanco”) on naiste grupp Kuubalt, mis seisab Kuuba poliitvangide õiguste eest rahumeelselt protestides.
Speaking on behalf of the Ladies in White, Mrs Blanca Reyes said the ladies represented 75 detainees since the "black spring" of 2004 when their "beloved menfolk" were arrested.
Nad on riietatud valgesse, mis on rahu ja nende abikaasade süütuse sümboliks.
She said their struggle "was moved by pain and injustice and without political motivations."
Grupi nimel võttis sõna Blanca Reyes , kes osales varem protestiaktsioonides, ent elab nüüd koos oma endisest poliitvangist abikaasaga Madriidis eksiilis.
Mrs Reyes said that the Cuban government violated its citizen's human rights "on a daily basis," - for example by not allowing five Cuban ladies to attend the Parliament to receive their award.
Proua Reyes sõnas, et Daamid Valges ootavad parlamendi delegatsiooni Kuubale auhinna kätte saamiseks.
Regarding the Sakharov Prize, Mrs Reyes said it would "encourage us to continue our struggle," and by receiving such an award "everyone in the world will hear their voice."
Ta selgitas, et Daamid toetavad 75 süümevangi, kes vangistati 2003. aasta kevadel.
Hauwa Ibrahim , the Nigerian lawyer defending women who face being stoned to death for adultery and young people who face amputation for theft under Islamic Sharia law, was the second laureate to receive the Sakharov Prize.
Proua Reyes ütles: "Kuuba valitsus rikub süstemaatiliselt inimõiguseid ning teeb seda jätkuvalt.
She outlined her strategy in combating Sharia law.
Me ei saa täna auhinda vastu võtta, ent jätkame selle nimel, et demokraatia, õiglus ja inimõigused võidaksid."
"We act locally, but think globally" she said.
Borrell lisas: "On mõeldamatu, et aastal 2005 loobitakse naisi abielurikkumise eest kividega surnuks.
In 2005 in Nigeria under Sharia law, it was still possible for a woman to be stoned to death for having child out of wedlock.
On mõeldamatu, et amputeeritakse noorte inimeste käsi varguse eest."
The way to overcome this was through a bottom-up approach.
Hauwa Ibrahim ütles oma sõnavõtus, et "Islamiseadustikku Nigeerias tuleb reformida, selleks vajame Teie abi".
"The European Parliament is one of the most important organs in the world and with it behind me, my voice for the unrepresented is louder and I have a deeper sense of mission for assisting the vulnerable and powerless".
Ta lubas, et auhinnaraha läheb hariduse ja koolituse toetamiseks, sest see on "ainus tee edasi".
Robert MÉNARD, the Secretary General of Reporters without Borders said that it was a great honour for his organisation to receive the Sakharov Prize.
Ta tänas parlamenti auhinna eest, kuna sellega anti vaestele ning naistele hääl.
In particular, he thanked Jean-Marie CAVADA (ALDE, FR).
Piirideta Ajakirjanikud on rahvusvaheline organisatsioon, mis edendab ajakirjandusvabadust kõikjal maailmas.
"64 journalists have been killed in Iraq, twice as many that were killed in the Vietnam war".
Organisatsioon võitleb ka selle nimel, et ajakirjanikke ja teisi meediatöötajaid kaitstaks tsenseerimise ja tagakiusamise eest.
He also highlighted the case of the latest car bomb killing of anti-Syria MP and journalist Gibran Tueni and stated that the international community needed to stand up for democracy in Lebanon.
President Borrell avaldas organisatsioonile tunnustust ning avaldas kahetsust selle üle, et käesoleval aastal on töökohustuste täitmisel elu kaotanud juba 57 ajakirjanikku.
He also criticised the international community for not showing as much interest and passion in the plight of some journalists that are still held illegally as the interest shown and raised for Florence Aubenas.
Sahharovi auhinnaga kaitstakse inimõigusi
The Sakharov Prize: championing human rights
EP President Borrell Sahharovi auhinna laureaatidega “Daamid valges” (“damas de blanco”) Kuubalt: grupp naisi, kes on alates 2004. aastast igal pühapäeval rahumeelsete protestiaktsioonidega võidelnud oma abikaasade ja poegade, Kuuba poliitiliste dissidentide, jätkuva vahi all hoidmise vastu.
President Borrell meets the Sakharov Prize laureates "Ladies in white" ("Damas de Blanco") of Cuba: This group of women have been protesting peacefully every Sunday since 2004 against the continued detention of their husbands and sons who are political dissidents in Cuba.
Rahu ja vangistatute süütuse sümbolina kannavad need naised valgeid rõivaid.
They wear white as a symbol of peace and the innocence of those imprisoned.
Hauwa Ibrahim: lihtsa päritoluga naine, kes on tõusnud üheks juhtivaks inimõiguste valdkonna juristiks Nigeerias.
Hauwa Ibrahim: Of humble birth, she has risen to be a leading Nigerian human rights lawyer.
Ta esindab naisi, keda šariaadi järgi ootab abielurikkumise eest kividega surnuks pildumine ning noori, keda ootab varguse eest amputeerimine.
She represents women who face being stoned to death for adultery and young people facing amputation for theft under Islamic Sharia law.
“Piirideta ajakirjanikud”: see rahvusvaheline organisatsioon edendab kõikjal maailmas ajakirjandusvabadust.
"Reporters without Frontiers": This international organisation campaigns for press freedom throughout the world.
Organisatsioon võitleb ka selle nimel, et ajakirjanikke ja teisi meediatöötajaid kaitstaks tsenseerimise ja tagakiusamise eest.
It also champions the protection of journalists and other media professionals from censorship or harassment.
Sahharovi auhind ei ole ainuke viis, kuidas Euroopa Parlament toetab inimõiguste ja demokraatia austamist.
The Sakharov prize is not the only way in which Parliament upholds respect for human rights and democracy.

Korduma kippuvad küsimused: lühiteatmik
Sakharov Prize: Frequently Asked Questions
Sooviksin rohkem informatsiooni Andrei Sahharovi kohta Auhind on nimetatud Andrei Sahharovi (1921-1989) järgi, kes saavutas maailmas laiema tuntuse kui üks Nõukogude vesinikupommi leiutajatest.
The prize is named after Andrei Sakharov (1921-1989), who achieved world renown as one of the inventors of the Soviet hydrogen bomb.
Mõistes leiutise kuritarvitamise võimalikke ohte, kulutas ta palju aega ja energiat, et teavitada avalikkust tuumavõidurelvastumisest.
Realizing the dangers of its potential abuse, he spent a lot of time raising awareness of the nuclear arms race.
Nõukogude Liidus peeti teda dissidendiks ning ta vangistati oma tõekspidamiste tõttu.
In the Soviet Union he was seen as a dissident and was jailed for his beliefs.
1970. aastal lõi Sahharov komisjoni, mis astus välja inimõiguste eest ja poliitilise tagakiusamise ohvrite kaitseks.
He also founded a committee to defend human rights and the victims of political trials in 1970.
Igal aastal nimetavad Euroopa Parlamendi saadikud ja fraktsioonid kandidaadid – välisasjade komisjon valib sellest nimekirjast kolm finalisti.
Every year MEPs and Political Groups in the Parliament nominate candidates - from this list the Committee on Foreign Affairs select three "finalists".
Seejärel valivad fraktsioonide esimehed ("esimeeste konverents") võitja.
The chairpersons of the political groups (the "Conference of Presidents") then select a winner.
Auhinna annab ametlikult üle Parlamendi president täiskogu detsembrikuisel osaistungjärgul.
The prize is formally awarded by the President of the Parliament during the December Plenary session.
Mis on auhinna eesmärk?
What is the purpose of the award?
Autasustades väljapaistvaid saavutusi võitluses mõttevabaduse eest ja sallimatuse, fanatismi ning vihkamise vastu, püüab Euroopa Parlament sellega tõsta teadlikkust inimõiguste kohta.
By rewarding outstanding achievements in the fight to protect freedom of thought and expression against intolerance, fanaticism and hatred, the Parliament seeks to raise awareness about human rights.
Esimese auhinna said 1988. aastal kahasse Nelson Mandela ja Anatoli Martšenko.
The first award was in 1988 and was awarded jointly to Nelson Mandela and Anatoli Marchenko.
Südikad Kuuba naised protesteerivad ebaõiglase vangistuse vastu
Sakharov nominee: Cuban women who protest against unjust imprisonment
Kampaania ebaõiglase vangistuse vastu Poliitiliste teisitimõtlejate arreteerimine 2003. aastal heidab senini Kuubale varju.
A campaign against unjust imprisonment The arrest of political dissidents in 2003 continues to cast a shadow over Cuba.
Enamus neist 75 mehest on jätkuvalt vangistatud – selle eest, et nad kritiseerisid poliitilise vabaduse puudumist Kuubal.
Most of the 75 men detained are still in jail - imprisoned for criticising the lack of political freedom in the country.
Püüe neid vaikima sundida ei ole aga vilja kandnud, kuna nende naised ja tütred on oma igal pühapäeval toimuvate rahumeelsete protestiaktsioonidega äratanud rahvusvahelist huvi asja vastu.
However, the attempt to silence them has failed as their wives and daughters have brought international attention to the issue by their peaceful protests every Sunday.
Nad nimetavad end Daamideks Valges (Damas de blanco) ja nad tulid esimest korda kokku 2004. aasta alguses.
They call themselves the "Ladies in White" ("Damas de blanco") and were formed in early 2004.
Kandes valget, mis sümboliseerib süütust ja puhtust, matkivad nad Argentiina naisi, kes 1970ndatel samasuguse taktikaga nõudsid teavet oma laste kohta, kes jäid kadunuks sõjalise režiimi ajal.
By wearing white to symbolise innocence and purity they echo Argentine women in the 1970's who used a similar tactic to demand information about their missing children during the military dictatorship.
Teisitimõtlejate arreteerimine on Euroopa Liidu ja Kuuba vahelisi suhteid tõsiselt halvendanud.
The European Union's relations with Cuba have been severely strained by the arrest of the dissidents.
2004. aasta aprillis võeti Euroopa Parlamendis vastu resolutsioon vangistatute toetuseks.
In April 2004 the European Parliament passed a resolution in support of the imprisoned men.
See kutsus üles mehi vabastama ja nimetas nende arreteerimist “elementaarsete inimõiguste, eriti sõnavabaduse ja ühinemisvabaduse rikkumiseks”.
It called for the men to be released and said their arrest "constituted a breach of the most elementary human rights, especially as regards freedom of expression and political association".
Resolutsioon nõudis Kuuba valitsuselt “olulisi muudatusi, mis viiks põhivabaduste täieliku austamiseni”.
It went on to demand that the Cuban government "make significant changes with a view to moving towards full respect for fundamental freedoms".
ELi valitsuste ministrid saatsid samuti teele läkituse, milles öeldi, et Kuubal sündinu on “kahetsusväärne”.
EU government ministers also issued a statement declaring that Cuba's actions were "deplorable".
Rakendati mitmeid sanktsioone, mille tulemusel Kuuba valitsuse ja ELi vahelised suhted praktiliselt katkesid.
A series of sanctions were introduced which effectively cut government ties between Cuba and the EU.
