Razprava o predlogu direktive je potekala v ponedeljek zvečer, v njej pa je sodelovala tudi slovenska poslanka Mojca DRČAR MURKO (ALDE, SI).
The Parliament further amended the original Commission proposal to make the directive consistent with a decision of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) of October 2007.
Kot je dejala, so poslanci v odboru za okolje sicer pričakovali, da bo vzpostavitev skupnih standardov okoljske kazenske politike segla dlje od kompromisa in bi zajela tudi zakonodaje držav članic: "Pokazalo pa se je, da je doseženi kompromis za zdaj skrajna meja sprejemljivega.
According to the ECJ, the EU has competence to adopt criminal measures only when there's a "justifiable need", e.g. in the common transport and environment policies.
Tudi tak je velik korak naprej v zaščiti okolja, saj za huda okoljska kazniva dejanja, našteta v aneksu, napoveduje usklajeno uporabo učinkovitih, sorazmernih in odvračilnih kazenskih sankcij.
Nevertheless, the Court ruled that the EU cannot specify the type and level of the criminal sanctions.
Da bodo torej storilci vedeli, da nikjer v Evropi ne bodo imeli varnega zatočišča."
Therefore, MEPs deleted the article of the Commission text providing the extension and duration of the proposed sanctions.
Sveženj prometne zakonodaje
Modern rules for road freight operations and road transport operator licensing
Poslanci so po torkovi razpravi v sredo sprejeli dopolnila k dvema uredbama s področja cestnega prometa: o skupnih pravilih za dostop do trga mednarodnega cestnega prevoza blaga in o skupnih evropskih pravilih glede pogojev za opravljanje dejavnosti cestnega prevoznika.
Parliament gave a first-reading to two legislative proposals aimed at modernising the rules on access to the road freight transport market and licensing for road transport operators.
Glasovanje o predlogih sprememb uredbe o skupnih pravilih za dostop do trga avtobusnih prevozov pa je bilo preloženo.
The vote on a third report on road passenger transport was postponed.
Uredba bi nadomestila dve uredbi in direktivo, ki izvira še iz leta 1962.
Matthieu Grosch (EPP-ED, BE) saw his report adopted with 499 votes in favour, 153 against and 46 abstentions.
Cestni prevoz blaga je na notranjem trgu sicer liberaliziran, vendar pa ostajajo omejitve za kabotažo.
The key issue was cabotage: when and to what degree may a haulier from one Member State collect and deliver goods within another Member State.
Kabotaža je notranji prevoz za najem ali plačilo, ki se začasno opravlja v državi članici gostiteljici.
Parliament wants, however, to see these restrictions phased out.
Zakonodaja bi tudi okrepila sankcije za kršitve , storjene v državi članici, ki ni država sedeža.
Member States, should enter in their national register of road transport undertakings all serious infringements to the rules committed by hauliers which have led to the imposition of a sanction.
V poročilu, ki ga je pripravil Matthieu GROSCH (EPP-ED, BE) , se Parlament zavzema, da bi bile omejitve za kabotažo le začasne in bi se postopno odpravile.
Parliament decided however, that it would be a disproportionate also to include repeated minor infringements in this arrangement
Število dovoljenih kabotaž naj bi bilo tri na teden, vse omejitve glede števila in trajanja pa bi se odpravile s 1. januarjem 2014.
Road passenger transport: vote postponed
Kabotažo bi bilo mogoče opraviti tudi v državi, ki jo mora vozilo prečkati (država tranzita) po razkladanju v državi dostave.
Parliament decided to postpone, at request of the PES group, to postpone the vote until June or July on the second report by Matthieu Grosch on the international road passenger transport.
Pogoj bi bil, da najbližja pot vrnitve poteka prek te članice in je opravljena v roku sedmih dni po razkladanju v državi dostave.
Representatives of the industry and trades unions have recently agreed a deal on the key issue of the "12 day rule" for occasional cross-border services.
Potekal bi namreč pod zaposlitvenimi in delovnimi pogoji, ki bi bili manj ugodni od pogojev, ki se uporabljajo v tistih dveh državah članicah, med katerima tretji promet poteka.
This would allow drivers of tourist coaches to work on 12 consecutive days - something that would not otherwise be allowed under the general rules on rest days for drivers of passenger vehicles.
V tovrstnih primerih bi država članica gostiteljica lahko zahtevala izvajanje svojih delovnih in zaposlitvenih pogojev.
By postponing the vote Parliament will be able to examine this agreement and if appropriate take account of it in the legislation.
Skupna pravila za cestne prevoznike
Stricter rules for admission to the road transport sector
Uredba - Parlament je v sredo dopolnjeni predlog besedila sprejel s 614 glasovi za, 28 proti in 45 vzdržanimi glasovi - bo nadomestila sedaj veljavno direktivo.
By adopting a report by Sylvia-Adriana Ticau (PES, RO), by 634 votes in favour to 288 against with 45 abstentions, Parliament has set the outlines for stricter licensing rules for those providing road transport services.
določiti pogoje (sedež, dober ugled, finančno stanje in strokovna usposobljenost), ki jih mora izpolnjevati fizična ali pravna oseba, da začne in nadaljuje opravljanje dejavnosti cestnega prevoznika;
Transport providers must be of "good repute" to obtain an operating licence and MEPs adopted a list of infringements which may lead to the loss that status.
Med drugim želi podrobneje določiti, kdaj bi bil "dober ugled podjetja pod vprašajem".
Qualified managers must be a resident of a Member State.
To naj bi se zgodilo v primerih hudih kršitev, veljavnih nacionalnih pravil na področjih gospodarskega prava, zakonodaje o insolventnosti, plačilnih pogojev in pogojev zaposlovanja, cestnega prometa, poklicne odgovornosti in trgovanja z ljudmi ali prepovedanimi drogami.
They must give evidence of their professional competence and if serious infringements are committed under their responsibility, they will be disqualified and will not be able to work as a transport manager within the EU.
Določiti bi morala kategorije in vrste kršitev, do katerih najpogosteje prihaja.
But MEPs said minor infringements should not disqualify managers and also simplified the financial requirements.
Na koncu pa naj bi tudi določila, koliko ponavljajočih kršitev je potrebnih, da se štejejo za hude kršitve, ob upoštevanju števila voznikov v okviru prevoznih dejavnosti, ki jih vodi cestni prevoznik.
Finally, a number of amendments tighten provisions on the storage and exchange of data in the national transport data registers in order to protect individuals.
Parlament za več prizadevanja v boju proti podnebnim spremembam
Current mitigation efforts on climate change “insufficient”, say MEPs in interim report
Človeštvo še vedno lahko ublaži posledice podnebnih sprememb
Current mitigation efforts on climate change “insufficient”
Ta priporočila morajo temeljiti na najsodobnejših raziskavah in vključevati najnovejše znanstvene dokaze.
The report says existing climate change mitigation policies will be insufficient to reduce global GHG emissions over the next decades.
Dokument so poslanci potrdili s 566 glasovi za, 61 proti in 24 vzdržanimi glasovi .
The interim report was adopted with 566 votes in favour, 61 against and 24 abstentions.
Zmanjševanje izpustov toplogrednih plinov
Kyoto targets within reach – but “more ambitious” cuts needed
Parlamentarci poudarjajo, da so ugotovitve znanstvenikov o podnebnih spremembah dovolj celovite za oblikovanje nujnih politik zmanjševanja izpustov toplogrednih plinov in segrevanja ozračja za manj kot 2°C.
Speaking in the debate in Strasbourg, the rapporteur Karl-Heinz FLORENZ (EPP-ED, DE) said: "The climate change problem is both a challenge and an opportunity (to develop new technologies, create new jobs):we need a third industrial revolution and additional studies "to dispel any remaining doubts.
Cilj prilagajanja pa je obvladovanje neizogibnih posledic globalnega segrevanja.
This is "unprecedented in scientific history" and climate change is here, here to stay.
Ob tem je treba vzpostaviti vzajemno delovanje z različnimi socialnimi akterji, tako v industrializiranih državah, kot tudi v razvijajočih se gospodarstvih.
As this report and the climate change package show, it's not only the earth's climate that is changing, the political climate has changed, as well."
Javnosti je treba omogočiti dostop do podrobnih informacij o nizkoogljičnem načinu življenja, kot so na primer izjave o ekološkem odtisu emisij toplogrednih plinov na potrošniških izdelkih in označevanje toplogrednih plinov.
Keeping this in mind, warn MEPs, existing climate change mitigation policies and related sustainable development practices will be “insufficient to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions over the next decades”.
Poslanci se zavzemajo še za razširitev raziskav in analiz posledic podnebnih sprememb.
The level of global GHG emissions "must be reduced by 50% to 85% compared to 2000 to avoid serious risks", they emphasise.
Gre predvsem za ugotavljanje njihovih vplivov na gospodarsko konkurenčnost, stroške energije, socialni razvoj Evrope, vlogo rabe tal, krčenja gozdov, sprememb morskega okolja in izračun zunanjih stroškov v industrijskem in prometnem sektorju.
Although most EU Member States are making “good or even excellent progress” in their efforts to comply with their burden-sharing targets – thus “raising the likelihood that the EU will reach its Kyoto target by 2012” – they will have to reduce emissions “in a more ambitious way” to meet long-term EU targets.
Oceani tako predstavljajo 99 odstotkov življenjskega prostora na Zemlji, preskrba z ribami pa zagotavlja najvišji odstotek beljakovin, ki jih zaužijejo ljudje po celem svetu.
Such a level of warming, they conclude, "would already heavily impact on our society"
Ribe so glavni vir hrane za 3,5 milijarde ljudi, kar tri četrtine svetovnih mest pa leži ob morju.
Something for the sceptics
Parlament se zavzema za raziskave fiziologije in ekologije morskih rib, zlasti v tropskih območjih, za katere je bilo do sedaj izvedenih razmeroma malo raziskav.
The underlying causes of global warming, they affirm elsewhere, “are predominantly man-made.”
Znanstveniki bodo lahko na podlagi vedno večjega števila podatkov tudi izdelali natančnejše napovedi in poiskali ustrezne rešitve.
Wanted: more research on biofuels’ environmental impact
Pri tem bi na primer uporaba vsega prilova (nenačrtovanega ulova ribjih in drugih morskih vrst) za znanstvene analize pomembno prispevala k obogatitvi baze podatkov.
Finally, the text calls for “additional research into the impact of the policy of promoting biofuels and their effects on the increase of deforestation, the expansion of cultivated land and world food supplies”.
Vmesno poročilo govori le o znanstveno dokazanih dejstvih glede podnebnih sprememb.
The interim report, drafted by Mr Florenz addresses only the scientific facts of climate change.
Končno poročilo, ki ga bo odbor sprejel na koncu svojega mandata februarja 2009, bo vsebovalo tudi priporočila za oblikovanje prihodnje integrirane evropske politike boja proti podnebnim spremembam, vključno s predlogi ukrepov za prilagajanje spremembam in ublažitev njihovih posledic.
The final report, meanwhile, to be adopted by the end of the EP Climate Change Committee’s mandate, will include recommendations on future EU integrated climate change policy, on adaptation and mitigation measures, as well as Parliament’s position in international negotiations for a post-2012 climate change framework.
Napredek Turčije pri vstopanju v Unijo
"Transform priorities and time-lines into reform plans," say MEPs to Turkey
Spoštovanje odgovornosti pa pomeni tudi polno in jasno priznanje civilnega nadzora nad vojsko.
The role of the judiciary and the military in modern Turkey
Sprememba člena 301 kazenskega zakonika, ki ukinja žalitev "turškosti" kot zločin, je po mnenju evropskih parlamentarcev le prvi korak v smeri temeljite reforme tega, pa tudi drugih členov kazenskega zakonika.
The report also considers the recently adopted changes to Article 301 of the Penal Code to be a "first step towards a fundamental reform of that article as well as other articles of the Penal Code, and looks forward to further moves in this respect."
Verske svoboščine
The Kurdish question
Turška vlada naj zdaj tudi izpolni svoje zaveze o verski svobodi in sicer z vzpostavitvijo pravnega okvirja, ki bo vsem verskim skupnostim omogočil delovanje brez neupravičenih omejitev.
Parliament urges the Turkish government to launch "a political initiative favouring a lasting settlement of the Kurdish issue," including a "comprehensive master plan to boost the socio-economic and cultural development of the south-east of Turkey."
Gre zlasti za vprašanja pravnega statusa teh skupnosti, šolanje duhovnikov, volitve visokih dostojanstvenikov, versko izobraževanje in gradnjo verskih objektov.
It also calls for "real possibilities to learn Kurdish within the public and private schooling system" and its use in broadcasting, public life and public services.
Vlada naj si tudi stalno prizadeva za ustvarjanje ugodnega ozračja za celovito spoštovanje temeljnih človekovih pravic in svoboščin.
At the same time, MEPs also urged Turkey "not to engage in any disproportionate military operations violating Iraq's territory."
Odnos do žensk
Gender issues
Zato Parlament turško vlado poziva, naj sprejme dodatne konkretne ukrepe za povečanje zastopanosti žensk med zaposlenimi, s posebnim poudarkom na podeželskih območjih, spodbudi njihovo vključevanje v sisteme zdravstvenega in socialnega varstva ter da oblikuje instrumente ali začasne ukrepe za povečanje dejavne udeležbe žensk v politiki.
It also notes "the disappointment and concern of part of the population that the lifting of the ban on wearing headscarves in universities was not part of a broader package of reform based on a wide ranging consultation of civil society."
Geostrateški položaj
Current affairs
Razprava o poročilu
Debate preceding the vote
Poročevalka, poslanka Ria OOMEN-RUIJTEN (EPP-ED, NL) , je uvodoma poudarila, da je bilo v letu dni od zadnjega poročila storjenih precej pozitivnih korakov, kot sta sprememba kazenskega zakonika in sprejem zakona o fundacijah, vendar pa je treba storiti še marsikaj, da bo Turčija res izpolnila obljube, dane EU in svojemu ljudstvu.
In the debate on Wednesday morning, rapporteur Ria Oomen-Ruijten (EPP-ED, NL) said: "Since the last report, we have seen some very positive developments in Turkey (the Law on Foundations, some reform of Article 301).
"Naša tri glavna sporočila so: zaskrbljeni smo zaradi sodne obravnave stranke AKP in upamo, da bo ustavno sodišče upoštevalo mednarodno pravo; pozdravljamo, ker se je država leta 2007 uprla pritiskom vojske in ponavljamo, da mora biti leto 2008 leto reform."
We have a mixed picture, and a lot more needs to be done in order for Turkey to keep its promises to the EU and to its own people."
Vlada bi morala obnovljene zaveze o izvedbi reform na prednostnih področjih kmalu uresničiti, pri čemer bo "dejanski napredek neposredno vplival na nadaljnji potek pogajalskega procesa".
Vittorio Agnoletto (EUL/NGL, IT) announced that his group would be abstaining during the vote on the report, as "it does not deal adequately with the Kurdish issue."
V zvezi s svobodo izražanja Svet pozdravlja spremembe 301. člena Kazenskega zakonika, vendar je za dejansko zagotovitev svobode izražanja potrebno, da se ta člen tudi ustrezno izvaja.
Rapporteur (Oomen-Ruijten) said that since the last report, we have seen some very positive developments in Turkey (Law on Foundations, some reform of Article 301).
Tudi novi zakon o fundacijah je prav tako korak v pravo smer na področju zagotavljanja svobode veroizpovedi.
We have a mixed picture, a lot more needs to be done, in order for Turkey to keep their promises to the EU and to their own people.
"V zvezi s tem obžalujemo, da Turčija še ni izpolnila te obveznosti in ni bilo napredka v smeri normalizacije odnosov z Republiko Ciper," je zaključil slovenski predstavnik.
This is a balanced report, but three main messages: we are concerned with regard to the case against the AKP party, hopefully the constitutional court will follow international law on this issue.
Evropski komisar za širitev Olli Rehn je povedal, da je Komisija v pristopnih pogajanjih s Turčijo doslej odprla šest poglavij, morda bosta dve odprti še med slovenskim predsedovanjem.
We welcome the fact that in 2007 the country stood up to the military.
Dodal je, da se Komisija strinja s Parlamentom glede kritike o počasnosti reform ter nujnosti zagotavljanja pravic žensk, otrok, sindikatov in jezikovnih manjšin.
2008 was supposed to be the year of reforms.
"Vse zmerne sile v Turčiji morajo storiti vse, da bosta obe stranki ostali na političnem prizorišču.
We want to ensure that Turkey remains a lay state.
Nismo stranka v teh procesih, pa vendarle podpiramo pozive, da je treba zaščititi demokracijo in posvetnost države.
Separation between church and state is creating friction in Turkish society.
Policija je proti miroljubnim protestnikom uporabila nesorazmerno silo.
Nearly 50% of citizens are concerned about the state of the secular state.
Konrad SZYMAŃSKI (UEN, PL) je opozoril, da številna vprašanja ostajajo odprta: "Pridružitveni sporazum se ne spoštuje in zdi se, da teče čas v Turčiji zelo počasi.
A new constitution is the only way the government can ensure separation of state and religion, and all civil society representatives need to be involved in this process.
Prepoved izvoza živega srebra s 15. marcem 2011
Export-ban of mercury and mercury compounds from the EU by 2011
Evropski parlament je v drugi obravnavi potrdil kompromisni predlog uredbe, ki predvideva prepoved izvoza in varno skladiščenje živega srebra.
The export of mercury and mercury compounds from the EU will be prohibited from 15 March 2011, according to a second reading compromise between representatives of the EP and the Council which was confirmed by the European Parliament.
Prepoved zajema tako kovinsko živo srebro kot njegove spojine in bo začela veljati čez tri leta.
In addition to metallic mercury, the export ban will also cover other mercury compounds as for example cinnabar ore, mercury chloride and mercury oxide.
Poročevalec Dimitros PAPADIMOULOS (GUE/NGL, EL) je izrazil zadovoljstvo, ker bo prepoved veljala tudi za živosrebrne spojine, z možnostjo, da bo razširjena še na vse izdelke, ki vsebujejo živo srebro.
Parliaments rapporteur, Dimitrios Papadimoulis (GUE/NGL, EL), commented on the compromise: "I am glad we managed to extend the export ban of metallic mercury to its more toxic and dangerous compounds and examine, by January 2010, the need to extend it even more, by including other mercury compounds and products containing mercury, in an effort to close all loopholes.
"Zakonodaja opredeljuje tudi varno skladiščenje živega srebra ob upoštevanju okolja in javnega zdravja.
We also brought forward the legislation and ensured the safe storage of mercury, by predominantly environmental and health criteria.
To je najboljši možni kompromis, ki so mu nekatere države članice ostro nasprotovale.
This is the best compromise we could have realistically hoped to obtain, with some Member States ferociously opposing it.
Oddahnili smo si vsi, ki si prizadevamo, da živega srebra ne bi bilo več v našem vsakdanu in da države v razvoju ne bi postale odlagališče te nevarne snovi za Evropo," je bil optimističen poslanec.
It is a source of great relief to everyone fighting to exclude mercury from our daily lives and avoiding making the developing world Europe's dumping ground."
Varno skladiščenje
Safe storage of mercury stocks
Parlament zahteva, da se živo srebro lahko začasno skladišči le v rudnikih soli ali v takšnih globinah in ob geološki sestavi (živa skala), ki bi onemogočala pronicanje v okolje.
The regulation introduces the obligation to store mercury waste either in salt mines, in deep, underground, hard rock formations, or in above-ground facilities "in a way that is safe for human health and the environment" before eventually being disposed of.
V vsakem primeru pa gre za začasno skladiščenje pred dokončno odstranitvijo.
Ban of mercury imports and extension of export scope to be examined by Commission by 2010
Uredba tudi zavezuje Komisijo, da mora spremljati raziskovalne dejavnosti na področju varnega odstranjevanja, vključno s strjevanjem kovinskega živega srebra.
The Parliaments first-reading request, supported also by the Environment Committee, to ban also mercury imports into the EU is not included in the compromise, but the Commission has to examine together with the Member States and the relevant stakeholders by 2010 if there is a need for such a ban.
Živo srebro in njegove spojine so močno strupene za ljudi, ekosisteme in živali.
Uses and hazards of mercury
Problem onesnaženja z živim srebrom, ki se je na začetku zdel akutnega in lokalnega značaja, velja danes za globalen, razširjen in kroničen problem.
Mercury can come from waste recycling (e.g. fluorescent lamps, batteries), natural gas cleaning or the industrial treatment of non-ferrous metals.
Visoki odmerki živega srebra so lahko smrtno nevarni za ljudi, vendar pa lahko imajo tudi relativno nizki odmerki resne škodljive učinke na razvoj živčnega sistema in so povezani z morebitnimi škodljivimi vplivi na kardiovaskularni in imunski sistem ter sistem razmnoževanja.
It is used above all in the chlor-alkali industry, which has undertaken to convert to techniques that are less dangerous to health and the environment; the old methods produce large quantities of highly toxic calomel (mercurous chloride).
Živo srebro zavira tudi mikrobiološko aktivnost v zemlji.
Mercury is highly toxic to humans, especially when transformed into methylmercury.
Živo srebro je obstojna snov in se v okolju lahko spremeni v metil živo srebro, svojo najbolj strupeno pojavno obliko.
It is also bio-accumulative, meaning that it concentrates in the food chain.
Metil živo srebro hitro prehaja placentno pregrado in krvno-možgansko pregrado ter že pred rojstvom ovira duševni razvoj.
Numerous scientific studies blame it for cardiovascular and immune-system ailments.
Zato je izpostavljenost žensk v rodnem obdobju ter otrok zelo problematična.
It can affect the brain development of unborn children, even in minimal doses.
Največji vir izpostavljenosti živemu srebru za večino ljudi v razvitih državah je vdihavanje hlapov živega srebra iz zobnih amalgamov.
Mercury use is declining both in the EU and globally.
Izpostavljenost metil živemu srebru je večinoma posledica prehrane.
Global demand is around 3,400 tonnes per year, with the EU-25 accounting for 780 tonnes in 2005.
Metil živo srebro se nalaga zlasti v prehranjevalnih verigah vodnih ekosistemov, zato so skupine prebivalstva, ki zaužijejo veliko količino rib in morske hrane, še posebej ogrožene.
Across the world, the main uses of mercury are in small-scale gold mining, the chlor-alkali industry and production of vinyl-chloride monomer, the basis of PVC plastic.
Za večino ljudi v srednji in severni Evropi bioindikatorji kažejo stopnjo izpostavljenosti, ki je pod mednarodno priznanimi varnimi stopnjami metil živega srebra.
In the EU only the chlor-alkali industry remains a significant user, and it is progressively phasing out the use of mercury-containing cells in its production of chlorine.4
Živo srebro nastaja pri reciklaži odpadkov (neonskih svetil in baterij), čiščenju zemeljskega plina in v kovinski industriji.
The regulation will enter into force after its formal adoption by Council and 20 days after its publication in the EUs Official Journal.
