Poslanci se zavzemajo, da bi bila zakonodaja osredotočena na kakovost, ne le na količino in želijo, da bi imel Evropski parlament v sodelovanju z nacionalnimi in regionalnimi parlamenti večjo vlogo pri nadzoru implementacije skupne zakonodaje.
The report warns that the lack of political will to contain spending, overoptimistic revenue projections, creative accounting and fiscal consolidation based mainly on one-off measures have largely contributed to budgetary slippage.
Parlament, Komisija in Svet EU bi morala oblikovati posebne delovne skupine za pripravo boljše zakonodaje in izmenjevati izkušnje s tega področja.
Calling for improved statistical governance, MEPs also want greater transparency about implicit liabilities such as public sector pension commitments.
Parlament poziva Komisijo, da izdela kratek in jasen vodnik k boljšemu postopku urejanja, ki bo začrtal ključne korake, ki bi jih bilo treba narediti pri razvoju in izvrševanju zakonodaje EU in predlaga, da bi vodnik povzemal tudi načela boljše zakonodaje, ki se naj jih držijo vsi udeleženci zakonodajnega postopka.
Parliament deplores the lack of policy coordination in the euro zone, notably the divergence of fiscal policies, and is concerned at the possible antagonistic effects of the lack of coordination.
Poslanci se še zavzemajo, da Komisija vzpostavi neodvisni revizijski organ, ki bo sestavljal in zagotavljal kakovost in neodvisnost presoje ekonomskih vplivov zakonodaje EU, vsi zakonodajni predlogi, ki jih dobi v obravnavo parlament, pa bi morali imeti priložen tudi povzetek presoje njihovih vplivov.
It calls on the Eurogroup chairman to propose a detailed plan for the duration of his term in office, with regular reports on the level of implementation achieved.
Poročilo o strategiji za poenostavitev zakonodajnega okolja, ki ga je pripravil poslanec Giuseppe GARGANI (EPP-ED, IT) iz odbora za pravne zadeve, in so ga poslanci sprejeli s 506 glasovi za, 10 proti in 31 vzdržanimi glasovi, pa daje vso podporo predlogom Komisije za izboljšanje zakonodaje, bodisi z razveljavitvijo zastarelih in nepomembnih aktov ter s kodifikacijo besedil, ki so postala nepregledna zaradi obilice dodanih dopolnil, bodisi s preoblikovanjem tistih besedil, ki jih je treba posodobiti in spremeniti.
Finally, MEPs call on the Member States to meet their obligations under Article 99 of the Treaty to regard their economic policies as a matter of common concern and to coordinate these policies.

Nove vseevropske strategije za ukrepanje ob naravnih nesrečah
Commission: Romania and Bulgaria can join EU in 2007 if they resolve remaining failings
Ukrepanje ob naravnih nesrečah, kot so poplave, suše in gozdni požari, bi lahko bilo veliko bolj učinkovito, če bi okrepili koordinacijo in sodelovanje na evropski ravni.
The EU, he said, must honour its existing commitments, but also be rigorous in applying the conditions: "Since October last year, both governments have worked extremely hard and have made progress.
Parlament pa zahteva tudi uvedbo strožjih kazni za povzročitelje požarov.
Both countries had shown determination and should receive credit for reforms already achieved.
- sistema za obvladovanje nesreč,
Practical conditions for accession must continue, including the ratification of the treaties."
- sistema za obvladovanje tveganj,
Finally, he stressed the need for progress on the EU constitutional project.
- stabilizacijskega sistema z dvema alternativnima možnostma razvoja dogodkov.
ALDE group leader Graham WATSON (UK) paid tribute to the Enlargement Commissioner and to the European Integration Ministers of the two countries.
Pri tem bi bila še posebna pozornost namenjena gozdovom v sredozemskih državah.
And if they are not ready, they should not become members of the European Union in 2007.
Gerardo GALEOTE QUECEDO (EPP-ED, ES) v poročilu o vplivu naravnih nesreč na razvojne vidike opozarja, da so leta 2005 požari uničili več tisoč hektarjev gozdov in zahtevali 30 človeških življenj, zdaj že vsakoletni pojavi pa so vse obsežnejši.
Jaromír KOHLÍČEK (GUE/NGL, CZ) said that the Copenhagen Criteria set out three criteria that needed to be fulfilled in the last enlargement.
Dokument, ki so ga poslanci v četrtek sprejeli s 498 glasovi za, 35 proti in 20 vzdržanimi glasovi predlaga ustanovitev Evropske civilne zaščite in ustanovitev evropskega opazovalnega centra za sušo in dezertifikacijo.
It already discriminated against the 2004 new members compared to the old 15 but the points raised in the Commission's report are an even harsher discrimination, demanding, for example, the dismantling of a nuclear power plant on which many citizens, even in the current EU, rely.
Program pa bi moral zajemati tudi elemente ukrepov iz evropske kmetijske in strukturne politike.
Brian CROWLEY (UEN, IE) said that the European Union should give the countries a very clear signal.
Poslanci tudi ugotavljajo, da pri ukrepanju ob nesrečah ni zadostne usklajenosti na evropski ravni.
Mr Farage also said that an open immigration policy with countries having vastly different GDPs was not sustainable.
Za preprečevanje poplav pa bi morali omejiti sajenje monokultur na kmetijskih zemljiščih in spodbujati pogozdovanje.
Romania and Bulgaria represented the fifth and a half wave of enlargement as they originally were supposed to join at the same time as the EU-10.
Več pozornosti bi morali nameniti preventivnim ukrepom: "V tem okviru bi bilo potrebno pozorno obravnavati tudi politike na področju kmetijstva, gozdarstva, vodnega gospodarstva, urbanizma in regionalne razvojne politike, ki lahko bistveno vplivajo na obseg posledic naravnih nesreč.
Mr Tannock raised two specific points: he called on Romania to settle its maritime border dispute with Ukraine over Snake Island and, secondly, he called on the Romanian government to reconsider its position on inter-country adoptions.
Tako na primer intenzivna živinoreja, subvencionirana s strani Evropske unije, v nekaterih območjih povzroča tudi večjo dezertifikacijo.
Arlene McCARTHY (PES, UK) said that her country was pro-enlargement to Bulgaria but her region was against because of the case of Michael Shields who was convicted of a violent attack in Bulgaria.
Ustanavljajmo nove ustanove samo, kadar je to res potrebno."
"We are for both the target and sticking to the conditions with rigor," he said.

Solidarnostni sklad EU tudi za odpravo posledic terorističnih napadov in industrijskih nesreč
All the way for Marco Polo II
Solidarnostni sklad Evropske unije je nastal leta 2002 za odpravo posledic velikih poplav v srednji Evropi in je namenjen za ukrepanje ob tovrstnih dogodkih.
This programme for 2007-2013 aims at shifting the average yearly increase of international road freight towards short sea shipping, rail and inland waterways.
Financiranje sklada se izteče konec tega leta, zato naj bi nova merila začela veljati z novo finančno perspektivo, torej 1. januarja 2007.
The adoption of this first reading report concludes the procedure and means that it will enter on 1 January 2007.
Poročilo poslanca Rolfa BERENDA (EPP-ED, SE) iz odbora za regionalni razvoj združuje predloge o razširitvi delovanja sklada z naslednjim letom.
The environmental performance of the freight transport system is expected to improve substantially by Marco Polo II, which has a budget of €400 million.
Parlament predlaga opredelitev pojma nesreča kot "velik uničujoč dogodek, ki povzroči resno škodo prebivalstvu in okolju, kot npr. poplave, požari ali suša" .
The Commission had proposed €740 million, but this amount was reduced to €400 million following an agreement between Council and Parliament.
Prag za dodelitev sredstev naj bi se znižal s sedanjih 3 milijard evrov ali 0,6 odstotka BNP na 1 milijardo evrov oziroma 0,5 odstotka BNP.
The reduction of the eligibility thresholds, for instance, should be reduced and SMEs should have better accessibility to Marco Polo II.
V izjemnih primerih bi lahko Komisija za nesrečo razglasila tudi dogodek, ki bi prizadel le določen del ozemlja države.
An important part of Marco Polo II is also traffic avoidance which involves encouraging the rationalisation of traffic, logistics and supply chains.
Sredstva iz sklada naj bi bila namenjena za ukrepe, ki jih izvajajo javni organi države in sodijo v naslednje kategorije:
A proper use of the MoS should mean that traffic flows that normally go over land can be strategically diverted and brought closer to destinations.
- nujni ukrepi na področju zdravstvene pomoči neposrednim žrtvam večjih nesreč in terorističnih napadov ter psihološka in socialna pomoč žrtvam in njihovim družinam.
Through the report of Dagmar ROTH-BEHRENDT (PES, DE), MEPs have strengthened both passive and active surveillance measures.
Države članice morajo tudi oblikovati ustrezen pravni okvir, ki bo omogočil, da povzročitelji nesreč prevzamejo odgovornost zanje.
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy broke out as meat-based flour was introduced into cattle's feeding, which today is forbidden.
Poslanci s tudi strinjajo, da bi morala država prejemnica na razumljiv način obvesti neposredno prizadeto prebivalstvo in splošno javnost o pomoči, prejeti iz sklada.
The new regulation upholds this ban: "It is necessary to uphold the ban on using animal proteins in ruminants feeding in ways that are not part of their natural food."

Parlament ocenjuje delovanje EU na področju varovanja človekovih pravic
Long-term budget makes its way through European Parliament
Evropska unija vztrajno zagovarja spoštovanje človekovih pravic.
Following Parliament's approval, it was signed into law by the EP, Commission and the Council.
Toda - ali so njena prizadevanja po svetu omejena le na besede, ali pa stoji za njimi s konkretnimi dejanji?
MEPs welcome the extra €4 billion to be used on EP priorities, but said the higher figures approved by Parliament last June would have offered the best way of funding EU policies.
Parlament še posebej pozitivno ocenjuje dejstvo, da si je Britanija med svojim predsedovanjem Svetu EU v stikih s tujimi partnerji prizadevala za odpravo smrtne kazni in svobodo izražanja.
Speaking during the debate preceding the vote, Parliament's rapporteur on the Financial Perspective agreement Reimer BÖGE (EPP-ED, DE) said: "After difficult negotiations, we have an Interinstitutional Agreement on budgetary discipline and sustainable budgetary management."
Avstrijsko predsedstvo pa dosledno vztraja, da morajo mednarodni partnerji ratificirati konvencije o prepovedi mučenja.
Thanking all those who took part on the Parliament side, he said it showed the strength of Parliament that it had been looking for European added value, not just using a profit and loss approach.
Poslanci pozdravljajo premike na diplomatskem področju, ker je vprašanje človekovih pravic postalo del Evropske sosedske politike in je Svet EU na podlagi tega določila uvedel sankcije proti Uzbekistanu.
"We now have more flexibility in budgetary procedure, we can react better and more quickly to disasters, we have strengthened budgetary rights, clearer obligations of the Member States, better financial planning and better controls on the setting up of new agencies."
Med drugim pa zahteva od Sveta EU in Komisije, naj pozoveta ZDA, da zaprejo taborišče v Guantanamu in tamkajšnjim ujetnikom omogočijo pošteno sojenje.
He thanked the Commission and the Austrian Presidency for playing their part in reaching an agreement: "There is a very clear advantage for citizens, with reforms to budget and maintenance of Parliament's budgetary rights."
Parlamentarci tudi opozarjajo, da Evropski uniji ne uspeva sistematično in vztrajno opozarjati na kršitve človekovih pravic, pri čemer bi morali več pozornosti in sredstev nameniti državljanskim združenjem na terenu.
While this agreement was very far from the statements of intention laid out by European Councils and EU government leaders, "it is a satisfactory compromise, safeguarding cohesion as the basis of the European Union and supporting the Lisbon Strategy.
Želijo tudi oblikovanje jasnega sistema sankcij za kršitelje.
Parliament would, he said, be fully involved in all aspects of expenditure and revenue.
V prihodnjih poročilih bi morali po mnenju poslancev avtorji navesti seznam "posebej zaskrbljujočih držav" in jasneje navesti primere vseh oblik diskriminacij na podlagi narodnosti, vere, spola, invalidnosti in spolne usmerjenosti.
Janusz LEWANDOWSKI (EPP-ED, PL), Chairman of the Budgets Committee said that the latest compromise on the Financial Perspective coincided with the second anniversary of enlargement to the new Member States as was a "sort of birthday present".
Parlament želi imeti tudi večjo vlogo pri pripravi poročil.
The figures would have to be reviewed upwards.
Resolucija Evropskega parlamenta o letnem poročilu o človekovih pravicah v svetu v letu 2005 in o politiki EU v zvezi s tem
He welcomed the increased flexibility in the budget citing increased loans from the European Investment Bank, the new globalisation fund and the EU Solidarity Fund.

Zelena luč za program "Marco Polo II"
Morocco Fishing Agreement gets Parliamentary approval
Poslanci Evropskega parlamenta so v sredo v drugem branju postopka soodločanja sprejeli predlog uredbe za dodelitev evropskih sredstev za večjo okoljsko učinkovitost sistema tovornega prometa, kar je tako imenovani program Marco Polo II.
The fishing agreement with Morocco covers 119 vessels, mostly from France, Spain and Portugal, although it also includes a 60 000 tonne quota for industrial pelagic fishing for several northern European fleets.
Analize kažejo, da se bo - če ne bo ukrepanja - obseg tovornega prometa na evropskih cestah do leta 2013 povečal za 60 odstotkov.
The financial contribution is set at €36.1 million per year, making this agreement the most valuable of all EC fisheries agreements.
Potrditev poročila, ki ga je pripravil poslanec Reinhard RACK (EPP-ED, AT) iz odbora za promet in turizem o programu Marco Polo II je korak na poti k omilitvi te napovedi.
The Parliament's consultative report was drafted by Daniel Varela Suanzes-Carpegna (EPP-ED, ES), and passed by 409 votes in favour with 167 against with 79 abstentions.
Cilj programa je vzpostavitev "pomorskih avtocest", krajših plovnih koridorjev, na katere naj bi preusmerili tovorni promet s cest, kar naj bi poleg razbremenitve cestnega omrežja prineslo tudi boljšo racionalizacijo prometa, logistike in oskrbe.
The report approves the fishing agreement and protocol, although it demands "an annual report on the implementation of the agreement" before it gives its go-ahead for the negotiation of the next protocol.
Parlament je podprl večino predlogov Komisije, dodal pa je tudi kompromisna dopolnila, ki so jih skupaj vložile politične skupine Evropske ljudske stranke, socialdemokratov, liberalcev, Zelenih in Združenja za Evropo narodov.
They were concerned that by signing an agreement with Morocco giving the EU fishing fleet access to waters off the coast of Western Sahara (i.e. south of the 27.4 degree line), the EU would be breaking its commitments to the UN.
Med njimi je na primer znižanje praga sofinanciranja, da bi se lahko v program vključila tudi mala in srednje velika podjetja ter več pozornosti okoljskim vprašanjem in regijam z razvojnimi težavami.
MEPs have approved a plan to change the VAT system regarding the taxation of services, so that tax will be paid according to where the customer is based, rather than where the supplier is established.
Program poleg 25 držav članic Unije zajema še države pristopnice, članice EFTA, države JV Evrope, Rusijo in Ukrajino in je nadaljevanje programa Marco Polo I , za preusmeritev tovora s cest na morje, železnice in reke.
Parliament adopted a report, drawn up by Otmar KARAS (EPP-ED, AT), which proposes a few minor changes, but accepts the principle that VAT on services should be applied according to the place of establishment of the customer, as is already the case for VAT on goods.
Marco Polo II uvaja "pomorske avtoceste", ki naj bi omogočile neposredno preusmeritev tovora s cest na krajše plovne koridorje ali kombinacijo teh koridorjev z drugimi oblikami transporta.
The old system – taxing based on the location of the supplier – was seen as simpler to manage, and caused few problems when most services suppliers were in the same jurisdiction as their customers.
Njihova ustrezna uporaba bi omogočila strateško preusmeritev tovora s cest na druge oblike transporta, ob prilagodljivosti naročniku in z neposredno dostavo naslovniku
With the increase in e-commerce, however, more services can be supplied remotely, including things such as internet telephony, and there is a greater risk of distortions in the market as companies establish their internet services in countries with lower VAT rates to serve customers across Europe.
S sprejetjem kompromisnega predloga v prvem branju postopka soodločanja je zakonodajni postopek zaključen, zato bo program lahko začel delovati 1. januarja 2007.
The Commission originally proposed making this change only for business-to-business transactions, but subsequently decided to extend it to business-to-consumer sales as well.

Začetek majskega plenarnega zasedanja v Strasbourgu
Opening of May Strasbourg plenary session - Taiwan added to agenda
Predsednik parlamenta Josep Borrel l je na začetku zasedanja obvestil poslance o smrti njihovega kolega, litvanskega poslanca Rolandasa Pavilionisa , ki je bil podpredsednik politične skupine Združenje za Evropo narodov in član parlamentarnega odbora za kulturo.
EP President Josep Borrell opened the session by paying tribute to the Lithuanian MEP, Rolandas Pavilionis (UEN), whose death was recently announced.
Že takoj po začetku zasedanja v ponedeljek je pred poslanci nastopil bolivijski predsednik Evo Morales.
Changes to the agenda
Osrednja tema torkovega dopoldanskega dela zasedanja bo razprava o poročilu komisije o agendi za prihodnost Evrope .
The vote on the report by Reinhard RACK (EPP-ED, AT) will be held on Wednesday rather than Tuesday as originally planned.
Opoldne bo poslance nagovoril palestinski predsednik Mahmud Abas , ki je moral marca prekiniti svoj obisk v Strasbourgu.
On Wednesday, question time to the Council will take place between 6-7pm.
Sledil bo nagovor grškega predsednika Karolosa Papuliasa , na popoldanskem delu pa bosta osrednji točki poročilo o človekovih pravicah in politiki Unije v letu 2005 ter razprava o finančnih instrumentih za zunanje odnose .
The ALDE group proposal to add a debate on Taiwan's membership of the World Health Organisation to the regular discussion of cases of breaches of human rights, democracy and the rule of law at the end of Thursday's sitting was approved.
Bolivijski predsednik v Evropskem parlamentu
Bolivian President Morales tells MEPs: "nationalisation is not expropriation"
Evropske poslance je v ponedeljek nagovoril bolivijski predsednik Evo MORALES, prvi voditelj katerekoli južnoameriške države, ki je indijanskega porekla.
He spoke of Mr Morales's early life in poverty, which had helped spur him to become president of what was the second poorest country in Latin America, despite having the second largest natural gas reserves.
V svojem nastopu je poudaril pomen gospodarskih in družbenih sprememb v Boliviji ter pozval k tesnejšemu sodelovanju in razumevanju med Evropsko unijo in Latinsko Ameriko.
He noted that the nationalisation of the energy sector involved the investments of many European firms and was of great interest to MEPs.
Predsednik Morales je Evropski parlament obiskal le nekaj dni potem, ko je razglasil nacionalizacijo obratov za črpanje in predelavo zemeljskega plina, ki so v lasti mednarodnih naftnih družb.
He said the European Parliament appreciated Mr Morales's visit, and noted Parliament's commitment to helping to build a fair and more prosperous society.
Bolivija ima sicer največje zaloge zemeljskega plina v Južni Ameriki.
Evo Morales spoke of his pride at addressing the European Parliament as President of Bolivia, and of his willingness to listen in return.
V nagovoru poslancem je Morales dejal, da je bilo avtohtono prebivalstvo njegove države v zgodovini stoletja zatirano, vendar to ne pomeni, da je zdaj prišel čas za maščevanje. "
He said the native peoples of Latin America were peoples of dialogue, culture, balance and fairness: “ My family and my people historically have been excluded, but we do not exclude others.
