Vrzel med kritjem in obveznostmi vse večja
Over 1 million savers out of pocket
Sčasoma se je večala tudi vrzel med vrednostjo naložb in rezervnim skladom na eni ter obveznostmi do zavarovancev na drugi strani.
This devaluation affected over 1 million savers - the vast majority in the UK but savers in Ireland and Germany also lost money.
Leta 1994 je zato zavarovalnica prvič poskušala zmanjšati izplačila iz svojega pokojninskega zavarovanja, kar je privedlo do vrste sodnih procesov, ki jih je izgubila.
MEPs began to get involved in the affairs after the Parliament received two petitions from policy holders of Equitable Life.
Njen primanjkljaj se je tako le še povečal.
The petitions alleged that the UK had failed to supervise the company adequately under EU insurance law (the Third Life Directive).
Družba je konec leta 2000 prenehala sklepati nove police in imenovan je bil nov predsednik uprave, ki je odločil, da se vrednost pokojninskega in življenjskega zavarovanja zmanjša za 16 oz 14 odstotkov.
The purpose of the inquiry was to investigate if EU legislation had been correctly implemented, to see what remedies were available for policy holders and to make recommendations for legislation.
Več kot milijon Britancev je tako izgubilo pomemben del svoje rente.
UK Government should set up compensation scheme
Oškodovani so bili tudi zavarovanci v drugih državah, zlasti v Nemčiji in na Irskem.
The provisional findings of the draft report authored by British Liberal MEP Diana Wallis are:
Sledilo je več preiskav o tem, kako je do teh težav prišlo ter kakšni pravni in zakonodajni ukrepi so pri tem potrebni.
The UK government is "under an obligation to assume responsibility" and should therefore set up a compensation scheme for policyholders.
Peticije so privedle do ustanovitve preiskovalnega odbora
EU law and policymaking must be overhauled to prevent future cases.
Odbor naj bi se ukvarjal s pravnimi posledicami afere, predvsem pa preveril, ali so bile v Veliki Britanije smernice EU pravilno usklajene in ali so se britanske oblasti odzvale v skladu s svojimi obvezami glede zaščite zavarovancev.
EU legislation should give consumers "clearly defined rights which can be relied on before national courts" and there should be better alternative dispute resolution schemes throughout the Union.
Preveril pa naj bi tudi, ali je Evropska komisija dosledno nadzorovala, kako zavarovalnice izvajajo evropske smernice.
Speaking last week Diana Wallis said that "this is the first time the European Parliament has had an opportunity to look very carefully at how a piece of legislation is implemented and how it works in practice across the EU".
Preiskovalni odbor se je sestal že 19-krat, izvedel 11 javnih zaslišanj in tri zunanje preiskave, zaslišal 38 prič in analiziral 92 pisnih dokaznih gradiv.
She warned that because of improper implementation of the Third Life Directive "things like that might happen elsewhere as well".
Kmalu bo s svojim delom tudi zaključil.
38 witnesses - 11 public hearings
Prejšnji teden je poročevalka poročila, britanska liberalna poslanka Diana Wallis, predložila osnutek poročila.
In the course of its work it heard from 38 witnesses, held 11 public hearings, met 19 times and sent 2 fact finding missions to London and Dublin.
V njem britansko vlado poziva, da skladno s svojimi obveznostmi zavarovancem povrne škodo.
The full Committee of inquiry will hold a vote on the report on 8 May with a full vote in the Plenary session expected in June.
Tristo strani dolgo poročilo navaja, da je treba v skladu z evropsko zakonodajo preprečiti podobne primere v prihodnosti.
Unfortunately for savers, the Committee cannot force the payment of compensation.

Skupna kmetijska politika še leta razcepljena
CAP: new members have felt benefits but more needs to be done
Kaj čaka evropsko kmetijstvo v prihodnosti?
An own-initiative report by Hungarian Socialist Csaba Sandor Tabajdi about the Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) in the countries that joined the EU in 2004 calls it a “win-win situation”.
Širitev Evropske unije na vzhod je na področju kmetijstva prinesla koristi tako starim kot novim državam članicam: zahodnim kmetijskim proizvodom se je odprlo novo tržišče, na vzhodu pa so se povečali prihodki in ustalile cene.
However, the 10 new states are concerned that the low level of direct aid they receive is creating unequal competition.
Vendar pa je do enakega obravnavanja držav še dolga pot, opozarja parlamentarno poročilo o vključevanju novih držav članic v skupno kmetijsko politiko.
The report, the first review by an EU institution of the integration of the new countries into the CAP, was adopted during the last plenary session in Brussels.
Kmetijstvo ima v novih, vzhodnoevropskih članicah pomembnejšo vlogo kot v zahodni Evropi.
Agriculture has a much bigger role in the countries that joined the EU in 2004 than in "older" members.
Po podatkih iz leta 2004 je v vzhodnih članicah v kmetijstvu dejavno okoli 13 odstotkov zaposlenega prebivalstva, v starih pa le še 1,6 odstotka.
In the new members the total area dedicated to agriculture is 22% with 13% of the work force involved in farming, compared to 4% of land and 1.6% of the workforce in the EU-15.
Paradoksalno je, da v novih članicah kmetijstvo v bruto domači proizvod prispeva samo 2,8 odstotka, kar ni bistveno več, kot v starih članicah (1,6 odstotka).
Mr. Tabajdi said the report has two aims: to make a thorough analysis of the impact of accession on the CAP, both the advantages and problems and tensions, to fuel thinking on the future of the CAP in the light of recent reforms.
V novih članicah je še zmeraj mnogo polkmetij, ki se same oskrbujejo, so revne in tehnično slabo opremljene.
The Tabajdi report said that the CAP has led to a "win-win situation” for the following reasons:
Prva ocena stanja v kmetijstvu po pristopu
There were no big changes in the EU's single market after the 2004 enlargement.
Parlamentarni poročevalec Csaba Sándor Tabajdi iz skupine socialdemokratov je dejal, da ima poročilo dva cilja.
There has been good adaptation to food safety, veterinary and phytosanitary systems in the new countries.
Svetla in temna plat skupne kmetijske politike
Level of payments still not same as "old" members
Poročilo kot pozitivno navaja dejstvo, da širitev Unije ni vodila do izkrivljanja trga kmetijskih izdelkov, denimo do dampinških cen, kot so to nekateri pričakovali.
However, the report identifies areas where improvements could be made:
Kot pozitivno pa poročilo navaja tudi uvedbo evropskih higienskih standardov v novih državah članicah, saj tako teoretične trgovinske omejitve ne morejo biti vzrok za zavrnitev proizvodov iz novih držav članic.
Money: “By the end of the 2007-2013 financial perspective the share of direct payments and rural development appropriations for the new Member States from the EU-27 budget will climb to about 19% only."
Tabajdis meni, da je devetletno prehodno obdobje za uvedbo vseh določil skupne kmetijske politike predolgo, saj lahko vodi do neenakih konkurenčnih pogojev.
In its report, the Parliament said the Commission should take the concerns of the new member States into account more.
Nove države članice so prav zaradi tega prisiljene, da svoje kmetovalce poleg evropskih sredstev dodatno podprejo s sredstvi iz nacionalnega proračuna, kar pomeni dodatno obremenitev.
It also said the CAP should be revised to take account of the objectives and needs of agriculture, rural areas, farmers, consumers and the entire society in the enlarged EU 27.
Zato potrebujemo reformo kmetijske politike, ki bo upoštevala nove države članice, poudarja Tabajdis v svojem poročilu.
MEPs “expect that the future CAP will reduce the administrative burden of farmers and national authorities and will support the market-oriented, environmentally sound production of safe products, while ensuring the future of sustainable agriculture.“

Otrokove pravice niso le igra
Children's rights are not a game!
O tem bodo v torek na posvetovanju v Evropskem parlamentu razpravljali strokovnjaki in evropski poslanci.
The need to properly safeguard the rights of children was discussed at a hearing in Parliament on 17 April.
Povod za posvetovanje, na katerem se bodo sestali poslanci iz sedmih parlamentarnih odborov in predstavniki mednarodnih ter nevladnih organizacij, je načrt Komisije, razviti strategijo, kako v Evropski uniji zaščititi in okrepiti otrokove pravice.
MEPs, international organisations and NGO's came together to consider responses to a Communication from the Commission on a long term strategy on the rights of children.
Izročeni na milost in nemilost
The hearing was told that poverty and violence are problems children face in the EU at present.
Na svetu živi 218 milijonov otrok, ki si morajo sami zaslužiti svoj lasten kruh.
Worldwide, 10 million children a year die from preventable diseases.
V tridesetih oboroženih konfliktih po svetu se bojuje približno 300.000 otrok.
The point made by several speakers was that children have rights that need to be addressed now rather than always seeing them as "the future".
Leta 1990 je bilo 80 odstotkov smrtnih žrtev v konfliktih po vsem svetu žensk in otrok.
Worldwide, a staggering 126 million children under the age of 17 are believed to be engaged in hazardous work with 250,000 serving as child soldiers.
Več kot 40 odstotkov novorojenčkov ob rojstvu ostane neregistriranih.
However, the most depressing statistic was given by Marta Santos Pais from UNICEF who said that 40% of all births are not even registered.
"Otrok, ki ni registriran, ni državljan in ni član družbe.
She said that "a child who isn't registered is a non person, not a member of society.
Tudi v Evropski uniji so mnogi otroci prizadeti zaradi revščine in socialne izključenosti, in to pogosteje kot ostalo prebivalstvo.
She also said that 40,000 child deaths a day could be prevented by low cost immunisation against disease.
Otroci etničnih manjšin so pogosto tudi žrtve rasizma.
Violence and sexual exploitation are two other dangers that children world wide are exposed to.
V Evropi predstavlja nasilje nad otroki velik problem: od nasilja v družinah in šolah do trgovanja z otroci in izkoriščanja otrok, kot denimo za seksualni turizem in pornografijo.
In the EU children face, poverty, social exclusion violence and racism.
Več kot petina evropskega prebivalstva so otroci.
Children currently account for a fifth of the population.
Moge odločitve EU vplivajo tudi na njihovo življenje in prihodnost.
The hearing was told that they have needs which are not identical to adults.
Uvedeni so bili različni programi in ukrepi EU, s pomočjo katerih naj bi se učinkoviteje odpravilo trgovanje in prostitucijo z otroki, nasilje, diskriminacijo, revščino in delo otrok.
Franco Frattini, the Commissioner in charge of the dossier said that "children should no longer be addressees of policies but protagonists".
Sporočilo med drugim navaja naslednje cilje:
Some of the objectives it proposes are as follows:
ustanovitev evropskega foruma za otrokove pravice (prvo srečanje na temo nasilje nad otroki bo 4. junija v Berlinu)
creating a European Forum for children (a first meeting is scheduled for June)
telefonska številka za izgubljene in ugrabljene otroke
a single hotline for lost or kidnapped children
otežitev uporabe kreditnih kartic na spletnih straneh z otroško pornografijo
support the banking sector and credit cards companies to combat the use of credit cards for sites dedicated to child pornography,
vključevanje otrok v proces odločanja
involve children in the decision-making process,
obveščanje o otrokovih pravicah na otroku prijazen način
information on children’s rights in a child-friendly manner,
okrepitev aktivne in vodilne vloge EU na mednarodnih forumih o otrokovih pravicah
continue and further enhance EU´s active role in international forums to promote the rights of the child.
Zakoni naj ne le upoštevajo otrokove pravice, ampak otroci naj imajo vlogo protagonistov, je izjavil evropski komisar Franco Frattini.
Among the participants were two girls from Denmark and Romania.
Udeleženci posvetovanja so pozdravili sporočilo Komisije, zlasti predlog, da se otrokove pravice vključijo v evropsko zakonodajo in upoštevajo pri vseh odločitvah.
Roberta Angelilli, from the Union of Europe for the Nations Group, is preparing a report that will reflect Parliament's opinion on the issue.

Hans-Gert Pöttering v Bolgariji
President Pöttering urges Bulgarians to vote in EP elections
Pöttering v Bolgariji
Hans-Gert Pöttering addressed the Bulgarian Parliament in Sofia
Predsednik Evropskega parlamenta Hans-Gert Pöttering je pretekli četrtek in petek obiskal Bolgarijo, kjer se je sestal z vodilnimi bolgarskimi politiki in predstavniki etničnih manjšin.
With the opening of the European election campaign in Bulgaria, European Parliament's President Hans-Gert Pöttering has urged people to vote in large numbers to increase the legitimacy and credibility of the poll.
Pöttering je mesec dni pred prvimi neposrednimi volitvami bolgarskih evropskih poslancev v Sofiji odprl informacijsko pisarno Evropskega parlamenta.
Addressing the Bulgarian Parliament on Friday 20 April Mr Pöttering said "I call on all citizens to use their right to vote...your future is our common future and our common future is Europe".
Pöttering je pozdravil pozitivno naravnanost bolgarske vlade do ustavne pogodbe EU.
Another message he took to the country was that Bulgaria should continue with the reforms it began in its aim to join the EU.
Bolgarijo je pozval, da nadaljuje s prizadevanji za reformo.
Just because it is now a member, reforms must not stop, he insisted.
Evropske volitve 20. maja
Bulgarians go to the polls on 20 May to elect 18 MEPs who will hold office until the 2009 European elections.
Obisk predsednika Parlamenta je sovpadal z začetkom uradne volilne kampanje za evropske volitve.
The latest polls see 27% of the population absolutely determined to vote.
Natanko čez en mesec bodo bolgarski državljani volili 18 poslancev v Evropski parlament.
Prior to leaving Mr Pöttering said, "we are looking forward to welcoming the 18 new Members that your country will elect in May".
Po zadnjih javnomnenjskih raziskavah se bo na volitve odpravila le četrtina bolgarskih volivcev.
Bulgaria has already featured in the European Parliament with a resolution in January on the five nurses sentenced to death in Libya.
Hans-Gert Pöttering je bolgarske državljane pozval, naj se nujno udeležijo prvih evropskih volitev v svoji državi.
The resolution expressed strong support for the nurses (and 1 Palestinian doctor) and cast doubt on the legal process.
Evropski parlament ni nikakršna posvetovalna zbornica, temveč dejanski zakonodajalec.
Just prior to leaving for Sofia President Pöttering met relatives of the nurses.
Čim večja bo volilna udeležba, tem bolj verodostojno bodo prihodnji bolgarski poslanci v EP lahko zastopali interese svojih državljanov, je poudaril Pöttering, ki je v Sofiji tudi uradno odprl informacijsko pisarno Evropskega parlamenta.
Whilst in Bulgaria he reaffirmed the Parliament's commitment to use its influence to secure their release.

Napredek Hrvaške pri vstopanju v Unijo
MEPs to debate transatlantic relations ahead of key summit
Poročilo na lastno pobudo poslanca Hannesa SWOBODE (PES, AT) o napredku Hrvaške v letu 2006 nima zakonodajne teže.
The key debate of the week is on transatlantic relations.
Resolucija, ki jo bodo poslanci sprejemali na zasedanju v Strasbourgu, je zbir stališč in mnenj Evropskega parlamenta glede vstopanja Hrvaške v Unijo.
MEPs will debate the topic after hearing statements from both Council and Commission.
Predlog resolucije ugotavlja, da je Hrvaška že znatno napredovala na poti do pristopa k EU.
German Minister of State for Europe, Günter GLOSER, will represent the Council in the debate.
Poslanci menijo, da Hrvaška še naprej izpolnjuje politična merila za članstvo in jo je mogoče obravnavati kot delujoče tržno gospodarstvo, ki bi moralo biti sposobno srednjeročno vzdržati pritisk konkurence in tržnih sil v Uniji, če bo država še naprej učinkovito izvajala svoj program reform, da bi odpravila preostale pomembnejše slabosti.
The EU-US Summit bring together the President of the United States, the President of the European Commission, the Head of State or Government of the EU Member State holding the EU Presidency and the High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy of the Council of the EU.
V dopolnilu, ki ga predlagajo poslanci Hannes Swoboda (PES, AT) Bernd Posselt (EPP-ED, DE) in Gisela Kallenbach (Zeleni/EFA, DE) pa naj bi dokument, če bo dopolnilo sprejeto, navajal, da naj se v primeru, če se pri odprtih mejnih sporih dvostransko ne najde rešitve, sprejme posredovanje tretje strani.
The European Parliament has recently set up an interparliamentary delegation for relations with India which is chaired by Neena GILL (PES, UK).
Sodelovanje z Mednarodnim kazenskim sodiščem za nekdanjo Jugoslavijo (ICTY)
The European Parliament decided to split the original delegation for South Asia into three, one for India, one for Afghanistan and one for the rest of South Asia.
Parlamentarci sicer pozdravljajo popolno sodelovanje Hrvaške s sodiščem, vendar so zaskrbljeni, da bi lahko, kot so pokazale nedavne sodne odločbe, sovražnost na lokalni ravni ogrozila učinkovit pregon vojnih zločinov.
The President of the European Parliament, Hans-Gert PÖTTERING (EPP-ED, DE), has described the forthcoming visit of President A P J Abdul Kalam to the European Parliament as "very important."
Odbor ugotavlja, da je v sodnem sistemu še vedno prisotna vztrajna pristranskost nekaterih med zaposlenimi glede državljanov, ki niso hrvaške narodnosti, ter ni zadostne zaščite prič pred ustrahovanjem.
"I think it is very important that the President of India comes to the European parliament because we want to have good relations between the European Parliament and India so the President of India is most welcome."
Hrvaška vlada bi morala še naprej dejavno spodbujati in podpirati pregon vojnih zločinov, ne glede na narodno pripadnost storilcev, zato je odbor zaskrbljen glede vladne ponudbe, da prispeva za stroške obrambe generalov hrvaške vojske.
Born on 15th October 1931 at Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu, Dr. Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam, specialized in Aeronautical Engineering from Madras Institute of Technology.
Po mnenju poslancev bi morale vse hrvaške institucije in stranke preprečiti javno dojemanje Mednarodnega kazenskega sodišča za nekdanjo Jugoslavijo kot sovražne institucije in bolje obveščati o vlogi, ki jo ima pri pregonu zločinov, storjenih proti hrvaškemu civilnemu prebivalstvu.
Dr. Kalam made a significant contribution as Project Director to develop India's first indigenous Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV-III) which successfully injected the Rohini satellite into near earth orbit in July 1980 and made India an exclusive member of Space Club.
Reforma sodstva
He was responsible for the evolution of ISRO's launch vehicle programme, particularly the PSLV configuration.
Odbor opaža predanost hrvaške ministrice za pravosodje prizadevanjem za napovedano racionalizacijo števila sodišč, ki delujejo v državi, da bi postala bolj profesionalna in učinkovita.
After working for two decades in ISRO and mastering launch vehicle technologies, Dr. Kalam took up the responsibility of developing Indigenous Guided Missiles at Defence Research and Development Organisation as the Chief Executive of Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP).
Odbor za zunanje zadeve opominja hrvaške oblasti, da je odprto in konkurenčno tržno gospodarstvo temeljni pogoj za članstvo v EU, zato jih poziva, da resneje in hitreje uresničujejo dogovorjene cilje glede prodaje manjšinskih in večinskih deležev države v družbah ter zmanjšanja državnih subvencij, zlasti v ladjedelniškem in jeklarskem sektorju.
Dr. Kalam has served as the Principal Scientific Advisor to the Government of India, in the rank of Cabinet Minister, from November 1999 to November 2001 and was responsible for evolving policies, strategies and missions for many development applications.
Parlamentarci tudi menijo, da bi bilo treba narediti več za odprtje hrvaškega trga tujim vlagateljem in ponudnikom storitev, da bi ti postali enakopravni nacionalnim operaterjem.
Dr. Kalam was also the Chairman, Ex-officio, of the Scientific Advisory Committee to the Cabinet (SAC-C) and piloted India Millennium Mission 2020.
Ob tem pa odbor poziva tudi Komisijo, naj okrepi svoje dejavnosti obveščanja o teh prednostih.
He is a recipient of several other awards and Fellow of many professional institutions.

Poročilo o človekovih pravicah za leto 2006
EU record on human rights protection in 2006 under scrutiny
Poročevalec Simon COVENEY (EPP-ED, IE) ugotavlja, da je EU na svetovnem prizorišču vedno bolj dejavna pri globalni zaščiti človekovih pravic in demokracije.
The own-initiative report, drawn up by Simon COVENEY (EPP-ED, IE), says China 's human rights record is still a matter of "serious concern" and should thus "receive more focus in the build-up to the Beijing Olympic games".
Širitev na 27 držav članic s 494 milijoni prebivalcev je povečala svetovni pomen Unije in njeno vlogo pri prizadevanjih za spodbujanje človekovih pravic in demokracije.
Members urge the Council and Commission "to raise the question of Tibet" in talks with the Beijing government.
