Monday opening: Sorrow for Haiti and executed Briton in China
Parlamendi president Buzek avaldas kahetsust, et Euroopa Liidu Haiti-delegatsiooni asedirektor ja endine Euroopa Parlamendi töötaja Pilar Juarez Boal on endiselt teadmata kadunud.
At the start of this week's Strasbourg session of the European Parliament, EP President Jerzy Buzek expressed sorrow at the situation in Haiti and at the execution of a British citizen in China.
President avaldas kahetsust ka selle üle, et Hiinas hukati Suurbritannia kodanik Akmal'a Shaikh'a.
The President also said "It is with great sadness that I must inform you that Ms Pilar Juarez Boal, deputy director of the EU Delegation in Haiti, is still believed to be missing".
Hiinas hukatakse iga aasta peaaegu 7000 inimest.
Mr Buzek voiced regret at the execution in China of Akmal'a Shaikh'a, a British citizen.
Buzek meenutas, et Euroopa Liit on surmanuhtluse vastu ning võitleb surmanuhtluse kaotamise nimel.
He added "The European Parliament has always condemned and condemns the death penalty and will continue its efforts to achieve a moratorium on executions".
President Buzek kõneles samuti Ukraina valimistest, mida on vaatlemas ka parlamendi delegatsioon.
With the EP having received no official information yet about the result of the first round of presidential elections in Ukraine, Mr Buzek said he hoped they had been conducted fairly and that the same would apply to the second round.
Samuti märkis ta, et 1. jaanuaril sai ELi eesistujaks Hispaania.
From 1 January, Spain took over the Presidency of the EU Council.
Haiti: Vaja on kiiret abi ning pikaajalist taasülesehitust
Haiti: fast aid delivery and long-term reconstruction needed
ELi kõrge esindaja Catherine Ashton ütles parlamendiliikmetele, et "meie eesmärk on leevendada kannatusi ja me oleme endale võtnud pikaajalise kohustuse osaleda taasülesehituses".
In her first statement to Parliament, Lady Ashton, the EU's High Representative, said "our goal is to ease suffering and our commitment to rebuild is long-term".
EL annab raha inimelude päästmiseks
"It is a big response in a short time.
ELi kõrge esindaja andis saadikutele teada, et ELi välisministrid on otsustanud eraldada 122 miljonit eurot humanitaarabiks ning 100 miljonit eurot muu abina, lisaks eraldatakse ELi vahenditest 200 miljonit eurot pikaajaliseks taasülesehituseks.
Finding money will be less difficult than to get it there", said Catherine Ashton who also indicated that the Council will again look at Haiti Monday 25 January and is likely to decide to deploy a contingent of the European Gendarmerie Force to Port-au-Prince.
Ashton rõhutas, et lühikese aja jooksul on palju abi pakutud, kuid et hetkel on suuremaks probleemiks abi kohaletoimetamine.
"The EU has responded quickly but we have resisted the urge to travel there", she told MEPs in line with the advice of the UN Secretary General.
Ta lisas ka, et kavatseb sel nädalal sõita USAsse, et koordineerida tegevust USA ning ÜROga.
She added that she herself will travel to the US this week to coordinate efforts with the UN and the US administration.
Arenguasjade ja humanitaarabi volinik Karel de Gucht märkis: "Küsimus pole ainult inimelude päästmises, vaid ka riigi kui sellise päästmises."
"It is not only about rescuing human lives, but rescuing a country as a whole", said Karel De Gucht, Commissioner for Development and Humanitarian Aid.
Ta nentis, et kiiremas korras on vaja arstlikku, tehnilist ning logistilist abi, et hoida ära uusi ohte, nt koolerapuhangut.
Mr De Gucht added that urgent medical, technical and logistic help were needed to avoid further risks such as the outbreak of cholera.
Komisjon eraldab Haitile 130 miljonit eurot humanitaarabiks.
The Commission allocates €130 Million humanitarian aid out of which €77 Million is "fresh money", he said.
Volinik de Gucht lisas, et ta sõidab järgmisel päeval Haitisse ning Dominikaani Vabariiki, et tutvuda olukorraga kohapeal.
For long-term reconstruction aid, €200 Million is foreseen, and it has to be seen with the member states, whether this amount could be increased, stressed Mr De Gucht.
Gay Mitchell (EPP, IE) oli rahul, et volinik de Gucht kavatseb pärast oma visiiti Haitisse ning Dominikaani Vabariiki osaleda parlamendi arengukomisjoni koosolekul, et anda visiidist ülevaade.
Gay Mitchell, an Irish MEP for the centre right European People's Party, welcomed the fact that after Commissioner's de Gucht visit to Haiti and the Dominican Republic, the latter will brief next week (Monday, 25 January) the European Parliament's Development Committee.
Mitchell leidis ka, et kuna EL tervikuna on suurim humanitaarabi andja, peaks ta olema kohapeal "nähtavam", nt saates Haitisse vägesid.
As the EU as a whole is the biggest humanitarian aid donor "the EU has to be more visible on the ground", suggesting the possible presence of EU battle groups for example.
Linda McAvan (S&D, UK), viidates raha kogumise algatustele, ütle, et "avalikkus on suurepäraselt reageerinud".
British MEP Linda McAvan for the Socialists and Democrats group, referring to money-raising initiatives, said, the "public have been responding magnificently", and EU should also increase its support.
Liam Aylward (ALDE, IE) märkis, et "olukord Haitis on viimaste aastakümnete kohutavaim humanitaarkatastroof".
Irish Liberal (ALDE) group member Liam Aylward said that "the situation in Haiti is the worst humanitarian disaster in decades".
Arengukomisjoni esimees Eva Joly (Greens/EFA, FR) rõhutas, et tegemist on enneolematu ulatusega tragöödiaga.
French MEP Eva Joly for the Greens/EFA, Chair of the Committee on Development, underlined the unprecedented scale of the tragedy which "exceeds other disasters".
"Rahvusvahelised institutsioonid on kasutanud valet poliitikat Haitis ja me oleme nõrgestanud sealset sotsiaalset struktuuri".
"International institutions have imposed wrong policies on Haiti and we have weakened the social fabric in the country".
Joly leidis, et Haitile tuleb võimalikult palju abi osutada ning samas tuleb läbi vaadata arengutöö meetodid.
"What we need to do is to provide as much support as we can but we have to call into question our own development methods".
Nirj Deva (ECR, UK) meenutas, et iga loodusõnnetuse puhul on puudus infrastruktuuridest.
British MEP Nirj Deva (European Conservatives and Reformists) did not question that funds will be arriving to Haiti.
Ta leidis, et vaja oleks ülemaailmset päästeoperatsiooni, mis lisaks vältimatu abi andmisele taastaks ka hävitatud infrastruktuurid.
"We need to be able to supply infrastructure", he added, calling for the establishment of a global rescue operation that can provide except the immediate relief needs the restoration of the destroyed infrastructure on the ground.
Patrick Le Hyaric (GUE / NGL, FR) ütles, et ELi abi oli vaja suurendada ning et maailma pangandussüsteem peab samuti Haitit aitama.
For the leftist (GUE/NGL) French MEP Patrick Le Hyaric said EU assistance had to be increased and the world banking system should also contribute to helping Haiti.
Le Hyaric leidis, et EP peab toetama Haiti võlgade tingimusteta kustutamist.
According to Mr Le Hyaric, EP should announce its support for the unconditional cancellation of Haiti's debt.
Kõneleja märkis ka, et USA-l ei tohiks lubada abi ettekäändel "Haitit okupeerida".
He added, US should not be allowed "to occupy Haiti", under the pretext of aid.
Fiorello Provera (EFD, IT) väljendas oma solidaarsust maavärina ohvritega.
Fiorello Provera, an Italian for the European Freedom and Democracy group expressed his "profound solidarity with the victims of this terrible earthquake.
Ta märkis, et olukorras, kus hooned ning infrastruktuurid on hävitatud ning on tuhandeid hukkunuid, on abi andmine vältimatu.
In situations like this, where buildings and infrastructure have been destroyed on a large scale and thousands of deaths, aid is essential.
Nikiforos Diamandouros valiti Euroopa ombudsmaniks
All too often both private and public donors have seen their generosity betrayed.
Nikiforos Diamandourose jääb ombudsmani ametikohta täitma kuni 2014. aastani Parlamendiliikmed valisid Euroopa ombudsmaniks taaskord kreeklase Nikiforos Diamandourose, kes jääb seda ametikohta täitma kuni 2014. aastani.
A proper system of control must be in place to prevent a scattergun approach to distributing aid and possible theft of funds in country with high levels of corruption and a weak government".
Diamandouros on olnud Euroopa ombudsman alates 2003. aastast ning teda toetas kolmapäeval aset leidnud salajasel hääletusel 340 saadikut.
British non-attached MEP Nick Griffin said that "the horror of Haiti is shocking, and it is only human to feel compassion for the innocent victims of this natural disaster.
Teised kaks kandidaati olid itaallane Vittorio Bottoli (19 häält) ja belglane Pierre-Yves Monette (289 häält).
All here are well paid - and can afford to give.
Euroopa Ombudsman uurib kodanike kaebusi haldusomavoli kohta ELi institutsioonides.
I will give my attendance allowance for today, if every other British MEPs will do the same.
Lisaks kavatseb Diamandouros tugevdada koostööd riiklike ning piirkondlike ombudsmanidega, ja suhelda kodanikega tõhusamalt.
"The fact that we work closely and collaboratively with the US authorities is also an important part of what we do now and in the future", said Ms Ashton in reply to questions about aid visibility and co-ordination under the auspices of the United States.
Euroopa Ombudsmani valimismenetlust juhib petitsioonikomisjon, mis kontrollib taotluste sobivust ja seda, kas kandidaadid täidavad kõik vajalikud tingimused.
"Let us not forget that for the very first time, Council and Commission mobilized to respond to the present crisis", she underlined, welcoming the fact that 21 Member States had responded with concrete commitments on search and rescue teams, mobile hospitals and water purification units.
1995. aastal loodud Euroopa Ombudsmani ameti ülesanne on uurida haldusomavoli ELi institutsioonides, sealhulgas läbipaistvuse puudumist ja teabe või dokumentide andmisest keeldumist.
MEPs condemned the crackdown on protestors and called for human rights to be respected In a charged and emotive debate on Iran the regime's nuclear programme and the crackdown on political dissent drew criticism from all sides.
Nikiforos Diamandouros, valiti ombudsmaniks esmakordselt 2003. aasta jaanuaris, kui liidu esimene ombudsman Jacob Söderman läks pensionile.
Opening the debate the EU's new foreign affairs chief, Catherine Ashton, told the House in Strasbourg that Iran's nuclear programme was in breach of its international obligations.
2005. aastal valiti Diamandouros uuesti ombudsmaniks.
Many Members made the crucial distinction between the regime of President Ahmedinejad and the people of Iran.
Hispaania eesistumine: prioriteediks on kriisist väljumine
Iran "still producing enriched uranium"
Hispaania peaminister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero istungil ELi nimel kõnelemas ELi energiasõltuvuse vähendamine, liikmesriikidevahelise e-kaubanduse edendamine, elektriautotööstuse arendamine kliimamuutusega võitlemiseks ning ülikoolide kvaliteedi tõstmine on Hispaania eesistumise neli prioriteeti, selgitas peaminister Zapatero Hispaania eesistumise kava tutvustades.
"Iran does not respect its international obligations" was the clear statement to the House on the regime's nuclear ambitions by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Catherine Ashton .
Fraktsioonide esimehed olid rahul, et majanduskriisist väljumine on prioriteediks, ent ei nõustunud alati valitud meetmetega.
She told the House that she regretted Iran had not agreed to engage in meaningful talks to broker a settlement either with the European Union or the wider international community.
"Euroopa Liit peab panustama iseendale," ütles peaminister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, lisades, et esimene eesmärk peab olema sobiv vastus majanduskriisile.
For the Parliament's largest bloc, the centre right European People's Party MEP José Ignacio Salafranca told the House that Iran "was still producing enriched uranium".
Peaminister lubas samuti pöörata suurt tähelepanu Haiti abistamisele.
The Italian favoured sanctions alongside dialogue with the regime.
Fraktsioonide kõnevoor
"Arbitrary arrests not acceptable"
Joseph Daul (EPP, FR) tervitas Zapatero ettepanekut luua uus Euroopa majandusliku juhtimise struktuur, ent lisas, et tema fraktsioon ei ole nõus Zapatero näilise valmisolekuga suurendada avaliku sektori eelarvepuudujääki.
For the Liberal group, the third largest group, Dutch MEP Marietje Schaake said that "I won my elections by criticising the government of my country" but that "young women doing the same in Iran would be arrested, beaten and raped".
Daul rõhutas vajadust toetada VKEsid ning lisas, et tuleb olla realistlik.
She called on Europe to take a tougher leading role.
Martin Schulz (S&D, DE) õnnitles Zapaterot "paljutõotava" eesistumise kava puhul ning leidis, et nimetatud majandusliku juhtimise mudel on "õige lähenemine", mille abil Euroopa jõuab uude faasi.
Catherine Ashton paid tribute to the "vibrant and active" youth of Iran and said its women were highly educated and there was a "capacity for public debate".
Euroopa ei vaja tippkohtumist tippkohtumise järel, lisas Schulz, vaid liikmesriigid peavad ettepanekuid ka tõepoolest rakendama.
However, she said that many viewed the Presidential election last year as fraudulent and that the regime must respect civil and political rights.
Daniel Cohn-Bendit (Greens/EFA, FR) palus, et Zapatero järgiks volinik Michel Barnieri ideed luua Europe Aidi tsiviilkaitseväed, et Euroopa saaks katastroofipiirkondades paremini reageerida.
For the Greens/EFA Barbara Lochbihler, the head of Parliament's delegation to Iran (which was recently blocked from visiting), pointed out that many European countries were supplying technology that allowed the censorship of protests in Tehran.
Majanduse olukorra osas leidis Cohn-Bendit, et majanduskasv võib kliimat kahjustada ning setõttu tuleb arutada, millist kasvu me tahame.
She also said that the question had to be asked "whether sanctions will lead to a change in government or only harm society?"
Kõneleja soovitas "energiatõhustust ning -säästmist" energiasõltuvuse vähendamiseks ning leidis, et ELi energiasäästu eesmärgiks peaks olema 30%.
Charles Tannock called on the House to support "the brave young opposition" and said that "Iran's regime and the Iranian people are not the same thing".
Cohn-Bendit käis välja ka Euroopa trammiprojekti idee, millega saaks luua töökohti ja edendada rohelist liikumist.
The European Parliament will vote a resolution on Iran in February.
Kirkhope palus ka, et eesistujariik pühendaks rohkem energiat kliimamuutuste vastasele võitlusele.
Reducing EU energy dependency, promoting e-commerce among Member States, developing an electric car industry and improving university quality were the four priorities stressed by Spain's Prime Minister Zapatero in a debate on policy priorities for Spain's EU presidency.
Willy Meyer (GUE/NGL, DE) avaldas arvamust, et Hispaania programm ei lahenda põhilisi majandusprobleeme.
Political group leaders welcomed the plan to prioritise recovery from the economic crisis, but not all agreed on the specific measures proposed.
Meyeri sõnul on vaja suuremat sekkumist, eriti finantssektoris, ning ta leidis, et Hispaania lammutab Euroopa sotsiaalset mudelit.
"The EU needs to bet on itself", said Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, adding that the right response to the economic crisis must be the first goal.
Meyer ütles ka, et Iisrael peaks austama assotsiatsioonilepingu inimõigusi käsitlevaid sätteid.
The President of the Council listed four priorities for his mandate.
Marta Andreasen (EFD, UK) kõneles Briti kodanike kaebustest, kes olid väidetavate planeerimiseeskirjade rikkumiste tõttu kaotanud oma kodu Hispaanias.
Other priorities listed by Mr Zapatero included implementing new instruments under the Lisbon Treaty to make "citizens feel closer to EU institutions", such as the new citizens' right of initiative to propose legislation, and the need to fight domestic violence in Europe with a new legal measures to protect women and victims of gender violence.
"Parlament on heaks kiitnud kolm raportit, ent konkreetseid samme pole astutud," lisas ta.
On the Haiti earthquake tragedy, he said "we are going to show what we can do as Europeans (...) in those parts of the world which are suffering the most (...).
Anna Hedh: "Räägime inimestest, kes on ostnud ja müünud inimesi"
We are going to deliver a strong response to their needs for international aid".
Hedh Anna: "Karistused peavad olema karmid" Europoli 2009. aasta hinnangu kohaselt ei ole seksuaalse ärakasutamise eesmärgil toimuv naistega kauplemine vähenenud ning inimkaubandus sunniviisilise töö eesmärgil kasvab.
Commission President José Manuel Barroso praised Spain's "long tradition of commitment to Europe" and advocated a "fundamental reworking of the EU economy" to achieve a "competitive, innovative and socially inclusive market economy".
Komisjonile ja nõukogule naistega kauplemise kohta küsimuse esitanud parlamendiliige Anna Hedh (S&D) seletab, kuidas peaks välja nägema uus inimkaubitsemist käsitlev õigusakt.
The EU and its Member States have already committed €222 million to humanitarian aid and the Commission could mobilise a further €200 million in the long term to assist reconstruction, he said.
Aga nüüd, kui Lissaboni leping paneb parlamendi ministritega selles küsimuses samale pulgale, soovime, et komisjon kasutaks teistsugust õiguslikku raamistikku.
"We need to support small and medium enterprises instead" and "I am not too sure whether you and your political family have realized whether your proposals are realistic", he added Mr Zapatero replied that "I strongly support the Stability Pact and promotion of fiscal balance".
Inimkaubandus kasvab pidevalt.
He promised that by 2013, Spain would get back on the 3% track by reducing its public deficit. .
