Sicer tehnično besedilo zakonodajnega predloga dejansko zadeva vse proizvode široke porabe in torej vsakdanje življenje potrošnikov Unije.
Given changes in the retail industry and consumer preferences, the European Union has taken a fresh look at the situation.
V prvem branju je parlament podprl namero Komisije, da bi obvezne velikosti embalaže ostale le še za vino, žgane pijače, kavo v prahu, beli sladkor in izdelke v razpršilcih.
In its draft legislation, the European Commission proposed retaining mandatory EU sizes for a handful of goods (spirits, wines, soluble coffee, white sugar and most products sold in aerosols).
Poslanci pa so želeli ohraniti obvezne velikosti embalaže tudi za mleko, maslo, zmleto praženo kavo ali kavo v zrnu, testenine, riž in rjavi sladkor.
At its first reading, Parliament welcomed the broad thrust of the legislation but voted to retain mandatory EU sizes for a further six product groups: drinking milk, butter, ground or unground roasted coffee, dried pasta, rice and brown sugar.
Svet je v skupnem stališču zavrnil parlamentarna dopolnila in predlaga prehodno obdobje petih let v katerem lahko države, ki uporabljajo obvezne količine za mleko, testenine, maslo in kavo, te ohranijo, preden začnejo uvajati popolno deregulacijo količin pakiranja teh proizvodov.
In its common position, the Council rejected Parliament's amendments, instead setting a transitional period of five years for phasing out existing national rules on sizes for domestic producers of milk, butter, coffee, dried pasta and rice, and six years for white sugar.
Edina izjema bi ostal beli sladkor: prehodno obdobje za vso Unijo bi trajalo šest let .
All the institutions agree that mandatory sizes should continue to apply to wines and spirits.
Obvezne količine ostajajo tudi za vino in žgane pijače.
Parliament would also like the Commission to revisit the legislation at a later date in the light of market developments.
Poslanci tudi vztrajajo pri klavzuli o pregledu , ki bi od Komisije zahtevala, da po določenem času preuči učinke zakonodaje in države članice pooblasti, da podaljšajo prehodno obdobje, če se izkaže, da bi odprava obveznih količin lahko pomenila motnjo na trgu.
And if the Commission notes "a disturbance of market conditions and/or a destabilisation of consumer behaviour" it "may authorise Member States to maintain transitional periods and, in particular, to maintain the most sold mandatory range sizes."
Ker imajo sprejeta dopolnila tudi podporo držav članic, bo Svet EU verjetno kmalu sprejel direktivo, ki bo nato stopila v veljavo.
Parliament's position has already been accepted by the Member States' delegations to the Council, which is thus expected to approve the legislation as amended.

Evropska sredstva za boljša stanovanja
EU funding for better housing?
Evropski sklad za regionalni razvoj namenja sredstva tudi za rešitev številnih posebnih primerov stanovanjskih vprašanj v novih državah članicah, do česar bi morale biti po mnenju poslancev od leta 2009 upravičene vse članice.
But in the new Member States, EU funding is already available to help with housing renovation and redevelopment and this possibility should be considered from 2009 for old Member States, too.
Poročilo na lastno pobudo, ki ga je pripravil poslanec Alfonso ANDRIA (ALDE, IT), je Evropski parlament v četrtek sprejel s 469 glasovi za, 38 proti in 46 vzdržanimi glasovi.
So says an own-initiative report by Alfonso ANDRIA (ALDE, IT), which Parliament endorsed with 469 votes in favour, 38 against and 46 abstentions on 10 May.
Dokument ugotavlja, da se številna mesta v Uniji srečujejo z velikimi stanovanjskimi težavami, kot so prevelika ali nezadostna ponudba, izjemen porast stroškov nakupa in vzdrževanja ter slabo stanje stanovanjskih objektov.
Many European cities face soaring housing purchase and maintenance costs.
Obenem širjenje mest poraja mnoge socialne in gospodarske težave, zlasti v prometu (preobremenjenost javnega prometa, odvisnost od osebnih avtomobilov) in okolju (povečana raba energije, onesnaženost), ter težave, povezane z dostopnostjo storitev.
Yet, at the same time, urban sprawl is adding to mobility problems (congested public transport, reliance on private cars) energy consumption, and pollution.
Z uredbo o Evropskem skladu za regionalni razvoj (ESRR) so na v proračunskem obdobju 2007-2013 na voljo sredstva za rešitev številnih posebnih primerov stanovanjskih vprašanj ali prenovo stanovanjskih območij v novih državah članicah, ki jim grozi propad stanovanjskega fonda oziroma socialna izključenost.
Although the EU has no specific powers over housing, the European Regional Development Fund regulation for 2007-2013 would allow structural aid for housing in urban (re-)development projects, in areas of the new Member States that are threatened by physical deterioration or social exclusion, says the report.
Parlament predlaga, da bi se ob predvideni reviziji uredb o kohezijski politiki ponovno odprla razprava o možnosti, da bi bile od leta 2009 vse države članice upravičene do sredstev iz evropskih skladov za varčevanje z energijo, zaščito okolja in za prenovo socialnih stanovanj, saj so stanovanjske potrebe pereče po vsej Evropi.
For fifteen countries that were in the EU before 2004, the report seeks to reopen debate on "extending access to Community funds for renovation of social housing to all Member States, in order to save energy and protect the environment, currently foreseen only for certain countries, given that housing needs are critical throughout Europe."
Nujen je celovit pristop, ki bi sočasno omogočil boljšo dostopnost, večjo kakovost objektov in življenja za vse generacije ter večjo privlačnost urbanega in podeželskega okolja.
The report advocates, inter alia, identifying EU-wide minimum quality indicators defining "adequate housing" strengthening the right to housing benefit so as to ease worker mobility and giving cities a greater role in planning and managing the use of structural funds for housing projects

Nobelovi nagrajenci v Evropskem parlamentu
European Nobel Prize winners at Parliament on Wednesday
Alfred Bernhard Nobel
Alfred Nobel (1833-96): used profits from dynamite to set up peace prize
Na dan Evrope v sredo, 9. maja, bo Evropski parlament gostil trinajst evropskih dobitnikov Nobelove nagrade.
Thirteen Europeans who have been honoured with the Nobel Prize in the fields of peace, chemistry, physics medicine and economics will be at the European Parliament Wednesday 9 May.
Nobelovi nagrajenci se bodo med 15. in 16. uro udeležili razprave o preteklosti, sedanjosti in prihodnosti Evropske unije, ki bo potekala na temo znanosti ter intelektualnih in kulturnih dosežkov Evropejcev po letu 1957.
They will take part in a discussion on the past, present and future of the European Union from 3 to 4 pm.
Alfred Bernhard Nobel, švedski kemik in izumitelj dinamita, je svoje premoženje v oporoki zapustil posebnemu skladu, ki znanstvenike in mirovnike nagrajuje za njihove posebne dosežke.
Taking place on Europe Day and just prior to the opening of the Plenary session, the objective is to focus on the scientific, intellectual and cultural achievements of Europeans since 1957.
Od leta 1901 Nobelovo nagrado vsako leto 10. decembra, na obletnico Nobelove smrti, podelijo za posebne dosežke na področju fizike, kemije, fiziologije ali medicine, književnosti in miru, od leta 1968 pa tudi za ekonomijo.
Inaugurated posthumously by the 19th century Swedish inventor of dynamite, Alfred Nobel, the prizes are awarded annually.
Nobelovo nagrado so med drugimi prejeli tudi Albert Einstein (1921), Nelson Mandela (1993) in ameriški predsednik Jimmy Carter (2002).
Some of the past winners include Albert Einstein (1921), Nelson Mandela (1993) and US President Jimmy Carter (2002).
Jack Steinberger iz Nemčije, leta 1988 nagrajen za fiziko;

Mr Hume was the second leader of the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP), a position he held from 1979 until 2001.
Te so nato, tudi po njegovi zaslugi, po vsem svetu popolnoma prepovedali (v pršilih in hladilnikih).
He has also served as a Member of the European Parliament and a Member of Parliament of Northern Ireland.
Crutzen je bil od 1980. do leta 2000 direktor inštituta za kemijo Max-Planck v Mainzu.
Mr Trimble was the leader of the Ulster Unionist Party from 1995 to 2005 and member of Parliament in Westminister from 1990 until 2005.
Angleža John Hume in David Trimble sta leta 1998 skupaj prejela Nobelovo nagrado za mir.
He was First Minister of Northern Ireland between 1998 and 2002.
Sir Timothy Hunt , Lee Hartwell in Paul Nurse so leta 2001 prejeli Nobelovo nagrado za medicino in fiziologijo za odkritje ciklinov, ki so nadvse pomembni v celičnih procesih.
Prof. Sir Timothy Hunt won the Noble Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2001, together with Lee Hartwell and Paul Nurse.
V povezavi s tem odkritjem danes upajo, da bodo lahko pozdravili paraplegijo ter Parkinsonovo in Alzheimerjevo bolezen.
For the last two decades, growth factors have been increasingly used in the treatment of hematologic and oncologic diseases like leukemia, aplastic anaemia and bone marrow transplantation.
Italijanski fizik Carlo Rubbia je leta 1984 skupaj s Simonom van der Meerom prejel Nobelovo nagrado za fiziko za odkritje elementarnih delcev, katerih medsebojno učinkovanje (imenovano tudi šibka jedrska energija) predstavlja eno od štirih elementarnih sil vesolja.
Prof. Carlo Rubbia was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1984, along with Simon van der Meer, for their contributions to the project which led to the discovery of the field particles W and Z. These particles convey the weak force, one of nature's four fundamental forces.
Leta 1930 v Wroclawu rojeni Nemec Reinhard Selten in Američana John Forbes Nash in John Harsanyi so leta 1994 prejeli Nobelovo nagrado za ekonomijo za teorijo iger.
Prof. Reinhard Selten was awarded the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1994, along with John C.Harsanyi and John F.Nash Jr., for their contributions to game theory by their pioneering analysis of equilibria in the theory of non-cooperative games.
Dokazali so obstoj mionskih nevtralnih delcev ali nevtrinov.

In 1978 he began to organize free non-communist trade unions.
Veltman in Gerardus 't Hooft sta leta 1999 prejela Nobelovo nagrado za fiziko za njun prispevek pri raziskavah na področju teorije o električni interakciji.
In 1981 he was elected the first chairman of "Solidarnosc", the opposition movement which in 1989 forced the communist government to call semi-free elections.
Danes 63-letni Lech Wałęsa , nekdanji delavski voditelj in poljski predsednik (1990-1995), je leta 1983 prejel Nobelovo nagrado za mir.
His efforts won him the peace prize in 1983.
Bil je pobudnik odprave komunizma v vzhodni Evropi.
Mr Walesa became President of Poland in 1990.
Irski mirovnici Betty Williams in Mairead Corrigan sta leta 1976 prejeli Nobelovo nagrado za mir za njuno udejstvovanje pri organizaciji Žene za mir, ki se je pozneje preimenovala v Združenje ljudi za mir (Community of Peace Peopl)e.

Evropska vesoljska politika: Kako preprečiti vojno zvezd?
Space - MEPs discuss how to avoid arms race
Izstrelitev Ariane 5 v Francoski Gvajani, 8. decembra 2006
Launch of Europe's Ariane 5 rocket from French Guiana 8 Dec 06
Evropski poslanci in strokovnjaki so v sredo 2. maja v Evropskem parlamentu razpravljali o vlogi Evrope pri "osvajanju vesolja".
This was the question addressed during a 2 May hearing, in particular the role that the EU's emerging space programme should play in the development of defence and security policy.
Pretekli teden je med razpravo, ki je v Evropskem parlamentu potekala na temo Prispevek vesolja k evropski varnostni in obrambni politiki, verjetno marsikdo pomislil na znanstvenofantastične filmske klasike, kot sta denimo Vojna zvezd ali Zvezdne steze.
It came a few days after the European Commission and the European Space Agency issued a communication stating that the space exploration must be based on "peaceful exploitation".
Vesolje ima že nekaj desetletij pomembno vlogo v življenju na Zemlji.
Certainly space is becoming more congested.
Sateliti, ki krožijo okoli našega planeta, omogočajo prenos signalov mobilne telefonije, izvajanje bančnih poslov ter navigacijo v ladjah in avtomobilih; z njihovo pomočjo lahko celo napovemo neurja.
The US, Russia, the EU, India and China all have substantial space programmes.
Satelitska tehnologija pa se aktivno uporablja tudi na področju varnosti in obrambe, sateliti denimo usmerjajo izstrelke, ter vodijo sisteme za ugotavljanje in opazovanje lastne ali sovražnikove vojske.
The EU has allocated €1.4 billion to research and development over the next six years - mainly in support of the Galileo satellite programme.
Sateliti oz. satelitski posnetki pa so v pomoč tudi pri naravnih katastrofah, nadzoru poseka tropskih gozdov in nadziranju omejevanja oboroževanja.
The Communication calls for an "integrated European Space Programme" to improve efficiency with joint projects navigation, earth observation, satellite communications, security and defence.
S pomočjo satelitskih posnetkov si lahko na primer ustvarimo predstavo o razsežnosti genocida v Darfuru.
It also calls for the development of a joint international relations strategy in relation to space.
Vesoljska tehnologija kot gospodarski dejavnik
"EU needs information Satellites"
Evropska vesoljska industrija ima trenutno v tem okviru 40-odstotni tržni delež.
If information is power, then satellites orbiting the earth are very powerful indeed.
V tem sektorju je zaposlenih okoli 28.000 Evropejcev, najmočneje je razvit v Franciji, Nemčiji in Italiji, pa tudi v Veliki Britaniji, Španiji in Belgiji.
Their importance lies in the myriad tasks they can perform - from the weather forecast to international communication to more defence related activities, like acquiring information on external threats.
Evropa v uporabo vesolja v civilne namene vsako leto vloži okoli šest milijard evrov, polovica te vsote je namenjena Evropski vesoljski agenciji.
It is the latter usage which most concerned participants in the hearing.
Za obdobje od 2007 do 2031 je Evropska unija v okviru sedmega raziskovalnega programa za znanost in razvoj le-tej namenila 1,4 milijarde evrov.
Karl von Wogau of Parliament's sub-committee on security and defence said Europe "needs information satellites for military missions, to protect its external borders, to protect sensitive infrastructure and even warn about tsunamis".
Vesolje – bojišče prihodnosti?
"Potential to turn outer space into a battlefield"
Rebecca Johnson z londonskega Inštituta za diplomacijo razorožitve (Acronym Institute for Disarmament Diplomacy) in avtorica študije Evropska vesoljska politika in njen pomen za evropsko varnostno in obrambno politiko, meni, da je vesolje enkratna priložnost za izboljšanje evropske varnosti.
Rebecca Johnson of the Institute for Disarmament Diplomacy in London, author of the EP-commissioned "Europe's space policies and their relevance to European Security and Defence Policy", told MEPs that "space can provide unparalleled resources for supporting Europe’s security in relation to humanitarian and environmental crises and diverse natural, criminal and military threats".
V dokumentu predlagata, naj Evropska unija, Evropska vesoljska agencija in države članice bolje uskladijo svoje dejavnosti v vesolju in si prizadevajo za pripravo enotnega evropskega vesoljskega programa.
In January this year China gave a very public demonstration of its technology in the space military sector by successfully testing a device that could shoot down satellites.
