Parlament se še zavzema za dodatna sredstva EIDHR v letu 2009 za projekte v državah s pogostimi kršitvami človekovih pravic ter projekte, ki jih upravljajo delegacije Komisije z lokalnimi organizacijami civilne družbe.
The report calls on the Council to attend these debates and for the resolutions be translated into the languages spoken in the target areas.
Ob tem pa je treba zagotoviti popolno preglednost porabe ter izbirnih postopkov.
Finally, it calls for the EP to be involved in the EU's human rights dialogues and consultations with partner co untries.
Evropsko opazovanje volitev krepi demokracijo
EU election observation missions: objectives, practices and future challenges
Poročilo Evropskega parlamenta, ki so ga poslanci v četrtek sprejeli s 605 glasovi za, 11 proti in 16 vzdržanimi glasovi, ocenjuje, da misije EU za opazovanje volitev pomembno prispevajo k nadaljnjemu razvoju demokracije.
The report on election observation missions is the first of its kind, and supports the EU's observation missions, underlining how crucial they are, especially in developing countries.
Njihova vloga je ključna v državah v razvoju, kjer je prisotnost tujih opazovalcev pomembna tudi po volitvah, v prehodnem obdobju oblikovanja novoizvoljenih organov zakonodajne ali izvršilne veje oblasti.
The European Parliament wants to increase its role especially in the immediate post-election period when the new parliaments are called, and legislators need advice on how to function in a democracy.
Dokument sta pripravila José SALAFRANCA SÁNCHEZ-NEYRA (EPP-ED, ES) in Véronique DE KEYSER (PES, BE) , ki ugotavljata, da spremljanje volitev prispeva k splošnemu spodbujanju in varstvu temeljnih človekovih pravic.
The report was drafted by José Ignacio SALAFRANCA SÁNCHEZ-NEYRA (EPP-ED, ES) and Véronique DE KEYSER (PES, BE) and considers that in absolute terms the holding of elections cannot be regarded as the sole indicator of democracy, but that, nevertheless, it has a positive effect on the democratisation process as measured by improvements in civil liberties, provided that political pluralism, freedom of assembly and association, freedom of expression, equal access to the media, secret ballots and respect for human rights are secured.
Poslanka De Keyser je v svojem govoru med sredino razpravo poudarila, da so izkušnje pokazale potrebo po oblikovanju organizacije, ki bo združevale večje število izkušenih opazovalcev.
The House, in this regard, urges all EU institutions and Member States to agree to establish a European Consensus on Democracy.
Po posameznih volitvah bi bilo treba okrepiti spremljajoče dejavnosti v podporo demokraciji, Svet EU pa se z neizvoljenimi voditelji ne bi smel pogovarjati na način, kot da so na položaje prišli po demokratični poti.
The report condemns the recent imposition by certain OSCE participating States of restrictions on the duration of Election Observation Missions (EOM) and their refusal to issue, or delay in issuing, visas for observers, which has made it impossible for the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights to fulfil its mandate.
Poročevalec Salafranca pa je dejal, da misije opazovanja volitev izboljšujejo ugled EU po svetu.
Public statements and press conferences
Njihova priporočila bi morala biti vključena v pogovore s partnerji v tretjih državah, obenem pa misije tudi predstavljajo enoten glas Unije v mednarodni javnosti.
The report stresses, in particular, the importance of coordinating all public statements related to the findings of EU EOMs and avoiding the issue of any statement in advance of the presentation by the EU EOM of its preliminary statement, and underlines the key role played in terms of visibility and credibility by the press conference, where the preliminary statement is presented for the first time.
V prihodnje bi bilo treba v proces vključiti tudi izkušnje nekdanjih poslancev Evropskega parlamenta, ki so opravljali vlogo opazovalcev volitev.

Večja preglednost delovanja lobistov
European Parliament calls for more transparency on lobbying
Evropski poslanci so v četrtek obravnavali ter s 547 glasovi za, 24 proti in 59 vzdržanimi glasovi podprli poročilo, ki predlaga vrsto ukrepov za ureditev stanja na področju zastopanja interesov, oziroma lobiranja v institucijah EU.
A mandatory public register for lobbyists, common to the Council, Commission and Parliament and providing for "full financial disclosure", was proposed by the European Parliament.
Parlament se zavzema za skupen, javen register lobistov pri evropskih ustanovah in kodeks ravnanja, ki bi predvideval tudi kazni za kršitelje.
Lobbyists would also have to comply with a code of conduct and face sanctions if they infringed it.
Različne ocene kažejo, da je v Bruslju okoli 15 tisoč lobistov in 2.500 lobističnih organizacij, kar je največ v Evropi in na drugem mestu na svetu, za Washingtonom v ZDA.
MEPs voted in favour of a mandatory public register of lobbyists.
Lobiranje se je v Parlamentu zelo povečalo s širitvijo njegovih pristojnosti, pri tem pa lobistične skupine ne lobirajo le poslancev, temveč poskušajo vplivati na odločitve tudi z lobiranjem uradnikov v sekretariatih parlamentarnih odborov, osebja političnih skupin in pomočnikov poslancev.
MEPs backed a "one-stop-shop" proposal, whereby lobbyists would need to register only once to have access to Parliament, the Commission and the Council.
Zdaj je pri instituciji registriranih približno 5000 lobistov, po pričakovani ratifikaciji lizbonske pogodbe pa se bodo pristojnosti Parlamenta dodatno povečale in bo tako postal za lobistične skupine še bolj zanimiv.
During the debate, all groups' speakers expressed general support for the report.
Poročilo ugotavlja, da se z lobiranjem ne poskuša vplivati le na politiko in zakonodajne odločitve temveč tudi na dodeljevanje evropskih sredstev ter na nadzorovanje in izvrševanje zakonodaje.
Ingo FRIEDRICH (EPP-ED, DE), rapporteur, commented on an amendment tabled by the liberal group to include churches in the list of lobbying organisations, saying: "churches are partners according to the treaties, not lobbying".
Obenem pa priznava, da imajo zastopniki interesov pomembno vlogo v odprtem in pluralističnem dialogu, na katerega se opira demokratični sistem, in so pomemben vir informacij za poslance pri izvajanju njihovega mandata.
Carlos CARNERO GONZÁLEZ (PES, ES) said socialists will support two amendments tabled by the Greens, one of which calls for the register to be into force before the 2009 EP elections.
Poročevalec Ingo FRIEDRICH (EPP-ED, DE) je poudaril pomen večje preglednosti, da bi postalo jasno "kdo, kje in kdaj lahko deluje kot lobist".
Anneli JÄÄTTEENMÄKI (ALDE, FI) explained that the ALDE group is particularly pleased for the decision to make the register mandatory, as advocated by them.
Zavzel se je za skupen register vseh institucij ter zavrnil predlog o seznamu lobistov, ki ne bi spoštovali kodeksa ravnanja, saj bi moral biti med nameni registra tudi ta, da "bi se združenja želela vpisati vanj".
Ryszard CZARNECKI (UEN, PL) expressed support for a joint register and said: "Our constituencies have the right to know who lobbyists are".
Parlament se strinja z opredelitvijo Komisije, ki lobiranje opredeljuje kot dejavnosti, ki se opravljajo z namenom vplivanja na oblikovanje politike in odločanje v evropskih institucijah.
She also said that lawyers, when trying to influence legislation, should be considered as lobbyists, even when providing legal advice.
Za lobiste se tako po mnenju poslancev štejejo vsi udeleženci izven institucij EU, vključno z zastopniki javnih in zasebnih interesov, ki sodijo v to opredelitev in ki redno vplivajo na institucije, zato se jih mora enako obravnavati.
Sylvia-Yvonne KAUFMANN, from GUE/NGL group, said having clear rules on lobbying is "crucial for credibility for EU legislation".
Pravila pa ne zajemajo regij in občin držav članic, kakor tudi ne političnih strank na nacionalni in evropski ravni.
Finally, Jens-Peter BONDE (IND/DEM, DK) said the EU should follow the example of the US regime on lobbying: "Why can't we be as transparent?" he concluded.
Skupni obvezni register
Mandatory common register
Poslanci poziva k sprejetju medinstitucionalnega sporazuma o skupnem obveznem registru – kar dejansko že velja v Parlamentu - Sveta, Komisije in Parlamenta, ki bi veljal v vseh institucijah ter vključeval razkritje vsega financiranja, skupni kodeks etičnega ravnanja in tudi skupni mehanizem za izključitev iz registra.
To this end, MEPs suggested that the three institutions set up a joint working group without delay, to prepare a proposal on the common register by the end of 2008.
Ob tem pa poslanci opozarjajo na razlike med institucijami.
"Full financial disclosure" and sanctions foreseen
Število lobistov, ki imajo dostop do Parlamenta, bi moralo ostati zmerno, zato predlagajo, da bi se lobisti le enkrat registrirali pri vseh institucijah, nato pa bi se vsaka posebej odločila, ali jim omogoči dostop do svojih prostorov.
According to the resolution, lobbyists will have to abide by a code of conduct.
Parlament namreč želi še naprej omejevati število priponk, ki so na voljo organizaciji ali podjetju, na največ štiri.
A mechanism will be provided for expelling those who infringe the rules.
Oblika registra, finančno razkritje in sankcije za kršitelje pravil
MEPs also called for lobbyists' conduct to be closely monitored, sanctions in the event of misbehaviour and sufficient human and financial resources to verify the information included in the register.
Register bi moral lobiste razdeliti v različne kategorije, glede na interese, ki jih zastopajo.
Moreover, MEPs suggested that the mandatory register should include "full financial disclosure" by lobbyists.
Ob tem pa je treba zagotoviti ustrezne vire (zaposlene in finančna sredstva) za preverjanje informacij v registru.
Professional consultancies and law firms in particular would have to disclose the relative weight of their major clients and the costs associated with lobbying.
Register mora namreč biti uporabnikom prijazen, dostopen in enostaven za iskanje.
NGOs and think tanks would be required to state their overall budgets and main sources of funding.
Zajemati bi moral tako imena lobističnih organizacij kot posameznih lobistov.
The inter-institutional working group is also expected to propose specific criteria for financial disclosure.
Notranji lobisti ter poslovna združenja bi morali podati oceno stroškov neposrednega lobiranja, nevladne organizacije pa skupni proračun in razčlenitev svojih glavnih virov financiranja.
MEPs defined a lobbyist as anyone "influencing the policy formulation and decision-making processes of the European institutions".
Parlament uporablja kodeks ravnanja za lobiste že več kot deset let, zato odbor poziva Komisijo, da bi institucije oblikovale skupni kodeks, ki bi zagotavljal strog nadzor nad obnašanjem lobistov.
Both public and private interest representatives and profit and non-profit organisations, when regularly influencing the institutions, may therefore be considered lobbyists.
Za kršitelje bi morale biti predvidene sankcije, ki bi vključevale omejitev dostopa do vseh institucij in tudi izbris iz registra.
The approved report also lists NGOs, think tanks, lawyers (when they are not providing legal assistance or legal advice), trade unions and employers' associations.
Preglednost dela poslancev
The "legislative footprint"
Parlamentarci zahtevajo več jasnosti glede medskupin (neformalnih interesnih združenj evropskih poslancev) in sicer oblikovanje seznama vseh obstoječih registriranih in neregistriranih medskupin.
The EP also decided that rapporteurs should be permitted to attach to their reports an indicative list of lobbyists who were consulted and had a "significant input" during the preparation of the text.
Te bi morale dosledno upoštevati sedanja pravila, po katerih je treba prijaviti finančna sredstva, celotno finančno pomoč za njihove dejavnosti in njihove glavne cilje.
MEPs suggested that this "legislative footprint", as the rapporteur described it, should also be used by the Commission, for its legislative initiatives.
Poslanci nosijo odgovornost za to, da prejmejo uravnotežene informacije in morajo biti sposobni sprejemati politične odločitve neodvisno od lobistov.
The European Parliament has had a voluntary register of lobbyists and a code of lobbying conduct in place for the past ten years.
Parlament zato predlaga, da bi lahko poslanec, če bi se mu zdelo primerno, k poročilu prostovoljno dodal "zakonodajno sled".
The rapporteur estimated that there are about 15,000 lobbyists, and 2,500 lobby organisations, in Brussels.
Gre za okvirni seznam registriranih lobistom, s katerimi se je posvetoval in so imeli vpliv pri pripravi poročila.
A count of permanent visitors’ badges and “express” badges, suggests that there are approximately 5,000 lobbyists operating in the EP.
Pobude za skupno politiko v športu
Towards an EU policy on sport - MEPs concerned about TV rights, player selections and doping
Doping naj se kaznuje enako kot zloraba drog
MEPs say treat trade in illicit doping substances seriously
V četrtek je Evropski parlament s 518 glasovi za, 49 proti in 9 vzdržanimi glasovi podprl poročilo na lastno pobudo, ki predlaga skupne evropske ukrepe na področju športa.
Stricter rules on doping, no quotas for football players from specific countries and a fair distribution of lottery profits are among the proposals of the European Parliament in a report adopted by a large majority (518 in favour 49 against and 9 abstentions) The report calls for the Commission to come with clearer guidelines on how to apply EU rules in the area of sport.
Poslanci so za dosleden boj proti dopingu in jasnejše smernice glede uporabe evropske zakonodaje v športu.
Parliament also voices concern about the possible deregulation of gambling markets.
Dokument, ki ga je pripravil poslanec Manolis MAVROMATIS (EPP-ED, EL) , pozdravlja Belo knjigo Komisije, ki je bila predstavljena julija 2007, in poudarja pomen športa v evropski družbi.
The report, drafted by Manolis MAVROMMATIS (EPP-ED, EL) welcomes the Commission's July 2007 White Paper on Sport and emphasises the important role of sport in society.
Raziskave kažejo, da se približno 60 odstotkov Evropejcev redno ukvarja s športom, bodisi individualno ali pa organizirano v več kot 700 tisoč športnih društvih.
It notes that about 60% of EU citizens regularly participate in sporting activities within or outside some 700,000 clubs, and that sport in a broader sense generated € 407 billion in value-added in 2004 (3.4% of EU GDP) and employment for 15 million people (5.4% of the labour force).
Leta 2004 je posebna raziskava Evrobarometer pokazala, da je vsaj enkrat tedensko športno aktivnih 38 odstotkov državljanov EU.
No discrimination on nationality - but favour home-grown players
Najbolj aktivni so Skandinavci, med novimi državami članicami pa je na vrhu Slovenija s 43 odstotki .
MEPs call on Member States and sports associations not to introduce new rules that will create discrimination on the basis of nationality, such as the rule of 6+5, where 6 players on the field in the beginning of the match will have to be from the country of the club they are playing for.
Šport je v Uniji leta 2004 ustvaril 407 milijard evrov dodane vrednosti, kar pomeni 3,7 odstotka BDP, in zagotovil zaposlitev 15 milijonom ljudi ali 5,4 odstotka delovne sile.
They also call on the Commission to recognise the legality of measures that favour a minimum number of locally trained players and believe that the UEFA-rule on home grown players by which a minimum number of players in a team should be trained in the club or in the same league is better.
Večja pravna jasnost
Sport needs more certainty as to the law
Poročevalec ugotavlja, da so države članice v Lizbonski pogodbi (s členom 149) uradno priznale šport kot področje, za katerega naj bi v EU postavili temelje skladne evropske politike.
The rapporteur Manolis Mavrommatis was delighted that sport has a more prominent place in the Lisbon treaty: "We need to protect the specific nature of sport and it is good that the European Union will now push forward a policy in the sport area," he said.
Ob tem je treba upoštevati njegovo posebno naravo, vključno s strukturami, ki izvirajo iz prostovoljstva, in družbeno ter vzgojno vlogo športa.
With a view to the Lisbon Treaty's ratification, the role of sport in Europe must be given a "strategic orientation", and the application of Community law must be clarified, says the report.
Komisija naj bi predvsem spodbujala in dopolnjevala ukrepe držav članic in športnih organizacij, ne pa jih tudi zakonsko urejala.
MEPs ask the Commission to respect sport's specificity and to create clear guidelines as to how EU rules should be applied.
Samoregulacija dejavnosti
Self regulation
Države članice bi morale trgovino z nezakonitimi dopinškimi substancami obravnavati enako kot trgovino z drogami in temu primerno prilagoditi svojo nacionalno zakonodajo.
Doping is a key concern for MEPs, as it undermines transparency and fair competition.
Igre na srečo in spodbude za šport
Amateur sport and possible deregulation of gambling markets
Parlamentarci so zaskrbljeni glede morebitne liberalizacije trga iger na srečo in loterij.
The report also voices concern about the possible deregulation of lotteries and gambling markets.
Menijo, da je dobičke iz teh loterij primerno uporabljati za namene javnega interesa, vključno za stalno financiranje poklicnega in ljubiteljskega športa.
MEPs consider it appropriate to use lottery profits for purposes that are in the public interest, and calls on the Commission and the Member States to adopt regulatory measures to ensure that sport is protected from any improper influence relating to betting.
Še naprej bi bilo treba omogočati znižane stopnje DDV za športne dejavnosti, saj imajo pomembno socialno vlogo in so tesno povezane z lokalno skupnostjo.
They stress the need to continue to provide for the possibility of reduced VAT for sporting activities.
Ker je šport eno najučinkovitejših orodij za socialno integracijo, bi ga morala kot takega Evropska unija bolje spodbujati in podpirati, hkrati pa zagotoviti, da bodo vse socialne pravice neinvalidnih športnikov enako dostopne tudi športnikom invalidom.
MEPs also underline the important role of sport in society, as an effective tool for social integration and the importance of supporting measures for persons with disabilities.
Solidarnost pri prodaji medijskih pravic
Solidarity in the selling of TV rights - key sporting events should be free-to-air
Parlament priporoča državam ter športnim federacijam in ligam, naj (kjer še niso) uvedejo centralizirano prodajo medijskih pravic.
Television rights are the primary source of income for professional sport in Europe.
V interesu solidarnosti bi morali doseči pravično porazdelitev prihodkov med klubi in med ligami, ter med poklicnim in ljubiteljskim športom.
To ensure that not only the biggest clubs will benefit from the selling of the rights, MEPs recommend that Member States and national sports federations and leagues introduce collective selling of media rights so that there should be an equitable redistribution of income between the clubs within and between the leagues and between professional and amateur sport.
La tako se lahko prepreči, da bi imeli od prodaje pravic dobiček le veliki klubi.
The House repeats its support for Member States drawing up a list of events of major importance to the public that should be on free-to-air television under Article 3a of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive and condemns FIFA's court actions in this respect.
Parlament tudi priznava pravico držav članic, da lahko sprejmejo ukrepe, s katerimi bi širši javnosti zagotovile dostop do televizijskega spremljanja športnih prireditev velikega družbenega pomena, kot so denimo olimpijske igre, nogometni svetovni pokal in evropsko nogometno prvenstvo.
MEPs urge the Commission to openly express it self in favour of the of stricter application of the FIFA regulations banning transfers of players aged under 16 within the EU and endorsing the principle that players should sign their first professional contract with the club which has trained them.
Športne organizacije pa poslanci dodatno spodbujajo, naj odstotek prihodkov od prodaje medijskih pravic namenijo financiranju ter pomoči prostovoljnih in neprofitnih sektorjev športa.
MEPs also believe that the sports governing bodies should improve the rules concerning players' agents, and call on the Commission to support this initiative - if necessary by proposing a directive.
Enakopravnost spolov in boj proti rasizmu
More gender equality in sport and fight against racism
Poslanci pozivajo države članice, naj športne dosežke žensk obravnavajo kot enakovredne ter zato sprejmejo zakonske določbe, ki bodo prepovedovale športna tekmovanja, na katerih se ženskam podeljujejo manj vredne denarne ali druge nagrade.
MEPs regret that the Commission White Paper on sport does not take the gender aspect adequately into account especially concerning equal pay for female and male athletes and urge the Member States to value women performances in sport equally as men by introducing legal provisions to ensure that women are not awarded less valuable financial or other prizes in sporting events.
Organizacije in klubi bi morale izvajati kampanje za boj proti vsem oblikam diskriminacije, rasizma ter ksenofobije pred, med in po tekmovanjih, na stadionu in zunaj njega.
Muscle drain Finally, the House insists that development through sport should never lead to "muscle drain" and calls on the Union to address this issue in its policy dialogue and cooperation with partner countries.
Več varnosti in boljša infrastruktura v Afganistanu
Afghanistan - build more infrastructure say MEPs back from Kabul
Obnova infrastrukture v Afganistanu
Cables for Kabul: MEPs see infrastructure as key to progress
Mednarodna skupnost se mora v Afganistanu osredotočiti na izboljšanje varnosti in izgradnjo nove infrastrukture, so poudarili člani delegacije EP, ki so se nedavno vrnili z obiska v tej državi.
The international community needs to concentrate on improving security and building more infrastructure, according to a group of MEPs just back from Afghanistan.
V Kabulu so se sestali z afganistanskim predsednikom Hamidom Karzajem in člani parlamenta ter si ogledali, kako napredujejo tamkajšnji projekti EU.
During the visit they met Afghan President Karzai and members of parliament.
V času njihovega obiska se je zgodil tudi poskus umora predsednika Karzaja, kar priča o tem, da Talibanov ne smemo podcenjevati.
They also saw for themselves how some European funded projects are progressing.
Država nujno potrebuje boljše in številčnejše projekte za izgradnjo infrastrukture, ki bo prispevala h gospodarski rasti in omogočila boljše trgovske povezave s Kabulom, je med drugim povzel dejal Morillon.
Describing what he thought was needed he said that more infrastructure projects were required to help the overall economy but especially to allow the regions to trade with Kabul.
V Kabulu več trgovin in vsakodnevno streljanje
"More shops" - and "daily shootings" in Kabul
Po njegovem mnenju država potrebuje predvsem močno politično vodstvo, ki bi začelo s procesom sprave in obnove.
He said "strong political leadership is needed to reignite the process of reconciliation and reconstruction."
Nemška poslanka Véronique Mathieu (EPP-ED), ki je prav tako sodelovala v delegaciji, pa se je zgrozila nad dejstvom, da je streljanje v Kabulu nekaj vsakdanjega.
However, despite some progress French MEP Véronique Mathieu (EPP-ED) said "gun fire in Kabul is almost daily."
Nestabilnih razmer ni mogoče odpraviti zgolj z vojaškimi sredstvi, je poudarila še ena članica delegacije, estonska socialdemokrata Katrin Saks.
On the need for non-military actors to be involved in Afghanistan, Estonian Socialist Katrin Saks said that "the unstable situation cannot be solved only by military means.
