Josep Borrell je opozoril še na Nagrado Saharova, ki jo Evropski parlament vsako leto podeljuje posameznikom ali organizacijam, ki si prizadevajo za zaščito človekovih pravic po vsem svetu.
Various heads of state had visited the EP, including Viktor Yushchenko, Hamid Karzai and Mahmoud Abbas.
Tudi sicer parlament vztrajno opozarja na kršitve svoboščin in človekovega dostojanstva in ta dejavnost je postala nedeljiv element njegove identitete.
He also underlined the importance of Parliament's Sakharov Prize for human rights, and said that human rights had become one of the "core elements of Parliament's identity".
Svoj govor pa je Borrell zaključil z navideznim dialogom med španskim pesnikom Antoniom Machadom, ki je dejal: "Vse je minljivo in vse ostaja - a usoda človeka je, da odide", ter Jeanom Monnetom, ki je izjavil: "Ljudje odhajajo, toda institucije ostanejo".
The Euromediterranean Parliamentary Assembly, of which Mr Borrell was president for a year, was also of great importance to Europe, he emphasised, "because Europe's biggest geopolitical problem is its relations with the Islamic world, because the Mediterranean is the most unequal border in the world, because its basin condenses all the problems of our age".
Zahvaljujem se vam za zaupanje, ki ste mi ga dali in želim svojemu nasledniku vse najboljše ter veliko uspeha."
He was deeply honoured to have been President of European Parliament and he wished the next President every success.

Izvolitev predsednika in predsedstva Evropskega parlamenta
Hans-Gert Poettering elected President of the European Parliament
Funkcijo bo opravljal dve leti in pol, do izteka petletnega zakonodajnega obdobja Evropskega parlamenta po evropskih volitvah 2009.
The 61-year-old German Christian-Democrat will lead the European Parliament for two and a half years until the next European elections in June 2009.
Novi predsednik je že 12. predsednik parlamenta po letu 1979, odkar so poslanci v državah članicah EU voljeni neposredno.
Only if we work together, our peoples will have the possibility to defend its values and interests in the world.
Enotnost evropske celine naj bi po njegovem mnenju dosegli s sodelovanjem z nacionalnimi parlamenti, pa tudi s sprejemom evropske ustave.
Monica Frassoni (Greens/EFA, IT): 145
V svojem sporočilu državljanom in državljankam Evropske unije pa je dejal: "Samo skupaj lahko branimo ter uveljavljamo svoje vrednote in interese."
Hans Gert Poettering: 450 - Mr Poettering duly elected President of the European Parliament
Napovedal je, da bo pri svojem delu pošten in objektiven, svoj delovni program namerava predstaviti 13. februarja na plenarni seji parlamenta.
Mr Poettering, who has been an MEP since 1979 and was, until recently, leader of Parliament's largest group - the EPP-ED group, replaces outgoing EP President Josep Borrell.
Berlinguer je že drugič predsedoval volitvam predsednika parlamenta, v svojem pozdravnem nagovoru pa je poslance spomnil, da bo Evropa kmalu praznovala 50. obletnico podpisa Rimskih pogodb.
Under Parliament's Rules of Procedure, to be elected President, a candidate must win an absolute majority of the valid votes cast, i.e. 50 per cent plus one.
Od dosedanjih 12 predsednikov neposredno izvoljenega parlamenta jih je bilo sedem izvoljenih v prvem krogu, dva v drugem, dva v tretjem, le enkrat pa je bilo treba izvesti četrti krog glasovanja.
Joseph DAUL (EPP-ED, FR), the newly elected leader of the EPP-ED group, said: "This is a great moment for our political group.
Govori vodij političnih skupin Joseph DAUL (EPP-ED, FR): "Vesel sem, ker vam lahko v imenu skupine Evropske ljudske stranke in njenih 277 poslancev čestitam ob izvolitvi na položaj predsednika naše institucije.
In the name of the EPP-ED Group and its 277 Members, I am delighted to warmly congratulate you on your election to the office of President of our institution.
Evropski parlament je glas evropskih državljanov in od z današnjim dnem je to vaš glas.
The European Parliament is the voice of the European citizens, from this day on this voice will be yours.
Evropa vam je že hvaležna za vaše politično in osebno prizadevanje pri združevanju celine.
Europe is already grateful to you for your political and personal engagement towards the reunification of the continent.
Evropski državnik, kot ste vi, se predvsem zavzema za dostojanstvo človeka in njegovo svobodo.
Mr President, we know that the European statesman that you are, is first and foremost, concerned with the human person, with respect for his dignity and his liberty.
Evropski parlament in evropske institucije pa so že veliko pridobili z vašim delom za krepitev njihove vloge."
The European Parliament and the European Institutions in general, have already benefited from your work of strengthening their competences."
Martin SCHULZ (PES, DE): "Socialdemokrati bomo z vami, gospod Pöttering, lojalno sodelovali in pričakujemo, da boste tudi vi kot predsednik nevtralno opravljali svojo funkcijo in boste zanesljiv partner naše skupine.
Leader of the PES group, Martin SCHULZ (PES, DE) thanked the other candidates for a "dignified campaign".
Glede tega tudi nihče, ki vas pozna, ne more imeti niti najmanjšega dvoma.
He stressed the importance of neutrality for the newly elected President.
Zato tudi z vsem zaupanjem vstopamo v dve leti in pol skupnega dela, v čas, ko bomo lahko - tako vsaj upamo - skupaj prispevali k uspehu evropskega projekta."
Mr Schulz pointed out that Mr Poettering had lost his father at the end of the Second World War and this had inspired Mr Poettering's career working for European re-unification.
Graham WATSON (ALDE, UK): "Veste, da je moja skupina nasprotovala načinu, s katerim ste si s socialisti razdelili parlament v tem mandatu.
Graham WATSON (ALDE, UK), leader of the ALDE group, said: "You know that my group opposed the process by which you and the Socialists carved up the House between you during this mandate.
Kljub temu pa sem prepričan, da je večina poslancev iz moje skupine glasovala za vas, s čimer izreka priznanje vašim izkušnjam, političnemu delovanju in vašim sposobnostim, da boste objektiven in pošten predsednik.
Nonetheless, I believe that the majority in my group voted for you, recognising your experience, admiring your political work in this House and convinced of your capacity to be an objective and fair President.
Tudi zato upam, da boste prisluhnili tistim v parlamentu, ki pozivajo k reformam."
From having been ahead of our citizens in advancing the cause of European integration, our Member State leaders are now in danger of lagging behind."
Cristiana MUSCARDINI (UEN, IT): "Pred nami so težke in pomembne naloge: v svojih štirih mandatih v Evropskem parlamentu sem lahko spoznala tvoje delo, zato z zaupanjem pričakujem drugi del tega zakonodajnega obdobja, ko se bo Evropski parlament sposoben ukvarjati ne le s "sterilnimi" zadevami, pač pa se bo tudi z več resnosti soočil z nekaterimi velikimi izzivi.
Cristiana MUSCARDINI (UEN, IT) congratulated the new President but stressed the importance of facing up to the major challenges facing the Union.
V mislih imam zamujene priložnosti v Afriki, kako molčimo ob dogodkih v Nigeriji in kako je EU zgrešila cilj, kar zadeva Somalijo, ko bolj podpiramo teroriste kot legitimno oblast."
In particular, she pointed to the "forgotten Africa" and the situation in Nigeria and Somalia.
Daniel COHN-BENDIT (Zeleni/EFA, DE): "Nikakor ne dvomimo, da boš nepristranski predsednik.
For the Greens/EFA group, Daniel COHN-BENDIT (DE) started by quoting Jimmy Cliff "You can get it if you really want", referring to Mr Poettering's ambitions to be the President of Parliament.
Ne moreš več početi tega, kar si počel kot vodja skupine, Kot predsednik parlamenta moraš evropsko idejo postaviti pred svojo ljubeznijo do predsednice vlade in rad bi videl, kako se bo to razvijalo.
Third, the European Parliament and not an intergovernmental conference, he said, was the place to solve the impasse over the European Constitution.
Jens-Peter BONDE (IND/DEM, DK): "Vaša izvolitev ni bila presenečenje, saj smo izid poznali že leta 2004.
José Manuel BARROSO, President of the Commission said: "On my own behalf and on behalf of the European Commission, I want to congratulate you very sincerely.
Izognili pa smo se kronanju in imeli razpravo.
It gives me great pleasure to see you as President of the European Parliament.
Zdaj sete predsednik Evropskega parlamenta, predsednik vseh poslancev in tudi moj predsednik zato poznate moje želje po reformi: en sedež, boljšo zakonodajo, pravično razporeditev poročil in položajev, preglednost in nevtralnost osebja parlamenta."
Today the European Parliament has elected a new leader whose qualities as a person and as a politician are uniquely well suited to this high office.
Bruno GOLLNISCH (ITS, FR): "Pričakujemo, da boste pošteno spoštovali pravice poslancev, ki naj bodo enake za vse.
I know the President as a person of political vision and integrity – qualities that will be needed in this very challenging job.
Tudi varovanje pravice do imunitete, ki je izraz pravice do svobode govora, mora biti enaka tako za poslanca iz največje kot iz najmanjše politične skupine.
As the leader of your group, for eight years you have pursued your vision of political Europe as the only guarantee for a peaceful and prosperous Europe.
Pravila se ne smejo spreminjati, četudi so morda bolj pisana na kožo manjšim skupinam."
Your attachment to the core values of justice, human rights, the dignity of the human person, have, for so many years, been the hallmark of your work.
Rad bi izpostavil vašo pravičnost do vsakogar, vaše vztrajanje, da mora biti vsakdo deležen enake obravnave in vaše prepričanje, da v Evropski uniji nobena država ni večja od ostalih."
I want to highlight your fairness to everybody, from your insistence that everybody must be treated equally within Parliament, to the view that, in the European Union, no one country is bigger than another.
Barroso pa je dodal še osebni vtis: "Včeraj sem bil v Ljubljani, skupaj s kanclerko Merklovo in številnimi kolegi iz Evropskega sveta, in res me je prevzelo navdušenje državljanov Slovenije, ki so se pridružili območju evra.
We have all appreciated your honesty and transparency: with Mr Poettering you know that a done deal is a done deal and one which he will honour and respect."
Prav tako sta me prevzela navdušenje ter dinamičnost drugih novih članic.
Mr President, allow me to highlight what I think will be a special responsibility for your mandate.
Prepričan sem, da mora biti naša naloga tuda ta, da združimo Evropo, v kateri ne bo prvo- in drugorazrednih držav in državljanov, pri čemer lahko računate na naše sodelovanje."
You are the first President elected in this Parliament after this great enlargement of the European Union.
Leta 1995 je dobil naziv častnega profesorja, od leta 1999 pa je član izvršnega odbora nemške CDU.

Predstavitev nemškega predsedovanja Evropski uniji
MEPs debate German Presidency with Chancellor Merkel
V sredo dopoldne je potekala osrednja razprava januarskega plenarnega zasedanja.
Chancellor Angela Merkel gave her first speech to the European Parliament as President-in-Office of the European Council.
Nemška kanclerka Angela Merkel je namreč poslancem v Strasbourgu predstavila program šestmesečnega predsedovanja Nemčije Evropski uniji za prvo polovico leta 2007.
Chancellor Merkel highlighted the forthcoming Berlin Declaration to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the European Union and the need for tolerance.
Angela Merkel je uvodoma predstavila svojo osebno izkušnjo z Evropsko unijo, saj je mladost preživela v takratni Nemški demokratični republiki in je v Unijo "vstopila" z združitvijo Nemčije leta 1990 - dotlej jo je poznala le navzven: "Navznoter pa se v življenju zdi vse nekoliko drugače kot navzven.
MEPs from the different political groups gave their reactions with fellow German Christian-Democrat Hans-Gert Poettering chairing the debate as the newly elected European Parliament President.
Z združeno Evropo imajo evropski narodi veliko srečo: zagotavlja svobodo in omogoča blaginjo.
She reminded her audience that, having grown up in former East Germany, she had "up to the age of 35 seen the European Union from the outside".
Rimske pogodbe bodo kmalu stare 50 let in to obletnico bomo proslavili 24. ter 25. marca v Berlinu, mestu, ki simbolizira vnovično združitev Evrope po koncu hladne vojne.
And seen from the outside the EU was "an unparalleled historic success", which had "secured freedom for the people of Europe and brought them prosperity".
A bodimo ob tem iskreni: 50 let je v bistvu le trepljaj z očmi v zgodovini.
Now, seeing it from the inside, she found it even more attractive.
Pa vendar smo v tem obdobju dosegli nepredstavljivo veliko!"
In her view "there is no better place for us to live than our common European home".
Svoboda je predpogoj različnosti in sicer svoboda v vseh njenih oblikah.
She quoted the Czech writer Karel Čapek , who had said "The Creator made Europe small and even divided her, so that our hearts could find joy not in size but in diversity."
Svoboda izražanja lastnega mnenja, četudi je to drugim moteče.
But for diversity to exist, another quality was needed: freedom.
Svoboda verjeti, ali ne.
Ultimately, she believed, "Europe's soul is tolerance.
Svoboda podjetništva.
Europe is the continent of tolerance".
Svoboda umetnikov, da ustvarjajo svoja dela tako, kot si jih sami predstavljajo.
The Chancellor referred to Lessing's story Nathan the Wise, a key text of the German Enlightenment which urges understanding between Christianity, Islam and Judaism.
Evropa rabi svobodo kot zrak za dihanje.
She, as a Christian, felt the finest moment in the play was when, seeking to overcome the gulf created by their differing beliefs, the Muslim simply says to the Jew "Be my friend".
Če se jo kje omeji, smo v skrbeh.
This "has always been and remains the great aim of European integration".
In Evropa se mora vedno zavedati: svobode ne pridobimo enkrat za vselej - vsakodnevno si je treba zanjo prizadevati, ni neomejena in sama po sebi umevna, ampak je povezana z odgovornostjo in ko govorimo o svobodi, govorimo o svobodi drugega."
The motto of her country's EU presidency was "Succeeding together" and indeed, to deal with the challenges of the 21st century, she believed "Europe can only succeed together".
Meni, da je ustavni proces ključen za nadaljevanje razvoja EU in njeno delovanje, končati pa bi ga morali do evropskih volitev 2009.
This must be achieved by the next European Parliament elections in 2009.
"Neuspeh bi pomenil zgodovinsko napako," je prepričana nemška kanclerka.
"Failure would be a historic let-down".
Med zunanjepolitičnimi prednostnimi nalogami nemškega predsedovanja in 18-mesečnega programa tako imenovanega "tria" s Portugalsko in Slovenijo je Merkova izpostavila rešitev problema Kosova, bližnjevzhodno vprašanje, Afganistan, politiko evropskega sosedskega partnerstva, vrh EU-ZDA ter partnerstvo z Rusijo.
On external policy, priorities would include Kosovo, the Middle East, Iran's nuclear programme, Afghanistan, the European Neighbourhood Policy, the Doha Round, the EU-US summit and a new partnership agreement with Russia.
Za vse to pa Unija nujno mora imeti skupnega zunanjega ministra, kar je dodaten razlog za sprejem ustavne pogodbe.
To do all this, it was essential to have a European foreign minister, and "that is reason enough for a constitutional treaty".
Po drugi strani pa je kanclerka poudarila kontinuiteto predsedstev Sveta EU, ki se bo tokrat prvič konkretno izvajala z 18-mesečnim programom.
Ultimately, "Europe without its outstanding power of innovation would not be the Europe that it is today".
Angela Merkel je na koncu predstavitve dodala citat nemškega pisatelja Petra Prangeja in svojo obrazložitev: "Za vse, kar smo Evropejci kadarkoli dosegli, gre zahvala našim notranjim razlikam in razhajanjem, vztrajni izmenjavi ter spreminjanju različnih mnenj, zamislim in nasprotovanjem, tezam in antitezam.
With a final quotation from the German writer Peter Prange, Mrs Merkel said "Everything we Europeans have ever achieved, we have done thanks to our internal contradictions, the eternal split in ourselves, the constant to-ing and fro-ing of opinion and counter-opinion, of idea and counter-idea, of thesis and antithesis".
Dobro veste, kaj - to kar omogoča njeno različnost: to je strpnost.
Yes, the answer was "tolerance - that is the way we deal with our diversity.
Zakaj nam torej ne bi zadostovala še za naslednjih 50 let?"
Why should it not continue to work for the next 50 years?"
Do leta 2020 naj bi tako EU zmanjšala izpuste za 30 odstotkov in povečala energetsko učinkovitost za petino, svoj glas pri načinih za doseganje teh ciljev pa bo imel tudi Evropski parlament.
Firstly, the strategic goal of agreement by developed countries to cut their emissions by 30% by 2020, essential to ensure that global temperatures exceed pre-industrial levels by no more than 2°C.
Kaj naj bo v njej?
What should this Declaration say?
Mislim, da bi morali današnji voditelji stopiti na ramena ustanoviteljev Unije in pogledati v prihodnost, za naslednjih 50 let.
Today's leaders, Mr Barroso stated, should stand on the shoulders of the founding fathers, and look ahead to the next 50 years, to the challenges which could not be imagined in 1957 but which Europe must face in 2007.
Izzivi, ki so bili leta 1957 nepredstavljivi, so leta 2007 tukaj.
Put simply, to equip Europeans for globalisation, in a Europe of open economies, open societies, in a Europe which must engage with citizens, not ignore them.
Z Evropo, ki mora v svoje delovanje vključiti državljane, ne pa jih ignorirati.
Promote Europe's values in the world, as well as its interests.
Evropa, ki gradi na soglasju državljanov, ima trdne temelje - sicer stoji na pesku," je dejal Barroso.
Sustainability, accountability, solidarity, security cannot, indeed must not stop at Europe's borders.
Pet predlogov za deklaracijo, ki jih predlaga predsednik Komisije, pa je: - solidarnost; - vztrajnost; - odgovornost; - varnost; - spodbujanje evropskih vrednot po svetu.
"We need the settlement; to clear the clouds of doubt which hang over parts of Europe, to show vitality and confidence to our partners, and to make the European Union more transparent, more effective and more democratic.
Barroso je govor zaključil z že znanim stališčem: "Nica ni dovolj.
As I have said before, Nice is not enough.
Jutrišnje Evrope ne moremo graditi z včerajšnjim orodjem.
We cannot build tomorrow's Europe with yesterday's tools.
Imamo izjemno priložnost za začetek sprememb v naslednjih šestih mesecih.
We have a great opportunity to start changing that in the next six months.
Začnimo delati!"
Let us go to work."
Kot Evropejec ji lahko samo čestitam k dobrim predlogom in pomembnim temam - energetika, podnebne spremembe, varstvo okolja, varnost, pravosodje, politika priseljevanja, koordinacija ekonomske politike, politika razvoja, mednarodna trgovina, pa tudi odnosi z ZDA in Rusijo.
The challenges facing it mean that "Europe must have an effective decision-making mechanism soon", he said, promising his group's support in the search "for a new dynamic that will allow us to acquire the tools we need to move forward".
Dejala je, da ne bo sprejela minimalističnega pristopa in da si bo prizadevala za ravnovesje med stališčem 18 držav članic, ki so ratificirale ustavno pogodbo, stališči Francije in Nizozemske, ki sta izrekli "ne" ter tistimi, ki še niso zavzeli uradnega stališča, in to ne bo lahka naloga. (...)
He advised Mrs Merkel to seek a balance between the 18 countries that have ratified the EU's draft constitution and those that have not, pointing out that a long list of ambitions that once appeared illusory, including the fall of communism and the reunification of Europe, have in fact been achieved.
Ustavo smo pripravili, ker smo hoteli odpraviti pomanjkljivosti pogodbe iz Nice.
"The only lost battles are those that you don't engage" he said.
Danes, ko EU šteje 27 članic, je to še bolj nujno.
Mr Daul stressed the need for the EU to respect subsidiarity, but at the same time to defend strategic common positions, for example vis-à-vis Russia, with a single voice.
Zagotavljam vam, da smo pripravljeni tesno sodelovati, da bo Evropa dobila res močen inštrument.
He saw the Rome Treaty's 50th anniversary as an opportunity to reiterate the Union's common values, and its reasons to stand shoulder to shoulder.
Evropa trenutno trpi zaradi slabega imidža med prebivalci, to je treba na vsak način popraviti.
Here politicians - and the media - have a duty to "convey a clear vision of the future", he concluded.
Ljudem je potrebno odgovoriti na vprašanja, ki zadevajo njihovo vsakdanje življenje, kar pa hkrati ne pomeni tudi, da se mora Evropa vmešavati v čisto vse - glas je treba dati tudi regijam."
Socialist group chairman Martin SCHULZ (DE) had also found Chancellor Merkel's speech "inspiring", and shared her views on tolerance, freedoms and beliefs.
Martin SCHULZ (PES, DE): "Svoboda izražanja, za tem stojimo, svoboda umetnikov itd, to je vse načelnega pomena.
However, "freedom from social threats is a prerequisite for all other freedoms".
Toda svoboda, pravica da se ne bojimo, to je nekaj kar je osnovnega pomena.
Technology, talent and tolerance are not enough.
Svoboda se realizira v socialni varnosti.
As "social security is a vital facet of freedom", the EU must do something to guarantee it, he said.
Ljudje od te unije pričakujejo, da bo socialna.
However, he also stressed the need to focus on the draft's core elements, and to assess the likely social effects of legislation.
Če Evropi to ne bo uspelo in če ljudem ne bo dajala občutka, da jim daje socialno varnost, če tega ne bomo realizirali, bomo dobil velike probleme, zato vas prosim, da k svojemu pojmu svobode dodate tudi socialno varnost.
EU energy policy requires partnerships with supplier countries, but also more effort to save energy, he said, welcoming Germany's decision to abandon nuclear energy and hoping that other EU Member States would do likewise.
