Delegacija EP kritična do razmer v Moldaviji
MEPs turn focus on Moldova
Parlamentarne volitve v Moldaviji, Kišinjev 5. april ©BELGA_EPA_DUMITRU DORU Moldavska vlada je v svojih odzivih na javne proteste, ki so sledili parlamentarnim volitvah, kršila človekove pravice, pravno državo in evropske konvencije.
Ballots from Moldovans living abroad are recounted, 16 April,Chisinau, Moldova on 16 April ©Belga/EPA/D.Dorubelga/D.Doru The Moldovan government violated human rights, the rule of law and European conventions in its response to public protests following elections, according to MEPs back from a fact-finding mission.
To je bila izjava delegacije EP po vrnitvi iz Moldavije.
MEPs vote Thursday on a resolution on the situation in Moldova.
V četrtek so poslanci sprejeli resolucijo o razmerah v Moldaviji, obenem pa je v Pragi potekalo srečanje med EU ter predstavniki iz Moldavije in petih drugih vzhodnoevropskih držav s ciljem poglobiti medsebojne odnose.
At the same time, in Prague, the EU is meeting representatives from Moldova and five other Eastern European countries to launch an initiative aimed at closer relations.
Izjave o kršitvah človekovih pravic, ki so sledile objavi rezultatov volitev 5. aprila v Moldaviji, so bile glavni razlog za napotitev delegacije EP v Moldavijo od 26. do 29. aprila.
The allegations of human rights violations following the publication of results of the elections of 5 April in Moldova were the main focus of the EP fact finding delegation to Moldova from 26-29 April.
Poročilo delegacije navaja, da se je moldavska vlada na javne proteste odzvala na nasilen in neprimeren način.
According to the delegation's report, the government responded in a violent and disproportionate manner to public protests.
Pretepanje in neopravičljivo zapiranje civilnega prebivalstva, ki ju izvajajo neidentificirane policijske sile, ni usmerjena k pomiritvi razmer, temveč vodi k premišljenim dejanjem nasilja.
The beatings and unwarranted arrests of civilians by unidentified police forces seemed not to be directed at pacifying the situation but led to deliberate acts of repression.
Glede neprimernega policijskega ravnanja v najrevnejši evropski državi pa poročilo navaja, da se mora EU prek svoje sosedske politike in vzhodnega partnerstva v tej državi močneje angažirati.
To address the political instability in Europe's poorest country, the report says, there is a need for stronger EU engagement in the country through its Neighbourhood policy and the Eastern Partnership.
Uradno odprtje vrha za novo vzhodno partnerstvo EU z Armenijo, Azerbajdžanom, Gruzijo, Moldavijo, Ukrajino in Belorusijo poteka 7. maja v Pragi.
The official launching summit for the EU's new "Eastern Partnership" with Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine and Belarus - is in Prague on 7 May.
Evropske parlament zastopajo predsednik Hans-Gert Pöttering, podpredsednik Marek Siwiec in predsednik Odbora za zunanje zadeve Jacek Saryusz-Wolski.
The EP will be represented by President Hans-Gert Pöttering, Vice-President Marek Siwiec and Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Jacek Saryusz-Wolski.
Cilj partnerstva je poglobiti politične in ekonomske odnose, povečati energetsko varnost, izboljšati mobilnost in dodatno spodbuditi prodemokratične in tržno usmerjene reforme v partnerskih državah.
The aim of the Partnership is to deepen political and economic relations, increase energy security, increase mobility and give an additional boost to pro-democratic and market oriented reforms in partner countries.
V sredo je Parlament potrdil predlog za ustanovitev parlamentarne skupščine Euronest, ki bi združevala Evropski parlament in parlamente držav vzhodnega partnerstva.
On Wednesday Parliament approved the proposal to establish a Euronest Parliamentary Assembly associating the EP with the Parliaments of Eastern Partnership countries.
Prvo srečanje je napovedano za jesen.
The first meeting is expected to take place in the autumn.

Četrtek na plenarnem zasedanju: Turčija, Roxana Saberi, človekove pravice
Thursday: human rights dominates last plenary
Zadnji dan zadnjega zasedanja pred evropskimi volitvami Zadnji dan majskega zasedanja v Strasbourgu, se je končal z razpravo o demokratičnih reformah v Turčiji, ki si prizadeva za popolno članstvo v EU.
Thursday marked the last day of debates of the 2004-2009 European Parliamentary term before June's elections As the gavel came down at 1615 on Thursday, it marked the end of the final session of the 2005-2009 European Parliamentary term before elections in June.
Parlament je glasoval o letnem poročilu o človekovih pravicah v letu 2008 in zahteval, da se izpusti na svobodo ameriško iransko novinarko Roxano Saberi.
The parliament's annual human rights report was discussed and MEPs approved funding for a programme to boost the European and International film industry.
Evropski poslanci so bili v razpravi o Turčiji kritični zlasti demokratičnih in institucionalnih reform, ki so bile doslej nezadovoljive.
Parliament's annual human rights report welcomed the retreat of the death penalty around the world and the progress made on women's and children's rights.
Turško vlado so pozval, da pokaže/dokaže svojo politično voljo in nadaljuje z reformnim procesom.
It criticised the fact that the EU does not promote human rights effectively and that the Union often does not live up to its own principles - for example on terrorism and immigration.
Evropski parlament je sprejel resolucijo o Iranu, v kateri izraža zaskrbljenost nad splošnim poslabšanjem človekovih pravih v Iranu.
It has been a candidate for EU membership since 2005 and has undertaken many reforms.
Poslanci so obsodili neutemeljeno kazen ameriško-iranski novinarki Roxani Saberi, ki so jo iranske oblasti zaradi obtožb o vohunjenju za ZDA obsodile na osem let zapora.
In particular MEPs welcomed improvements in the freedom of speech.
V Iranu mlade prestopnike še zmeraj obsojajo na smrtno kazen.
Many Members called on Turkey to prove that is it still committed to the reform process.
Parlament pa je kritičen tudi obravnavanja aktivistov za pravice delavcev.
They also called for the Kurdish question to be settled and said that institutional reforms thus far were insufficient to warrant full membership.
Poročilo kot pozitivne točke navaja postopen umik smrtnih kazni na svetu in napredek glede pravic žensk in otrok.
MEPs also condemned the "unfounded sentences" handed down against the American-Iranian journalist Roxana Saberi which was condemned in a resolution by MEPs.
Vendar pa bi morala Evropska unija bolj učinkovito spodbujati človekove pravice, navaja poročilo.
Members were concerned about the treatment of trade unionists and the execution of juvenile offenders.
EU tudi zmeraj ne upošteva svojih lastnih načel, kot denimo na področju terorizma in priseljevanja.
MEPs gave the European and international film industry a boost by approving €15 million in funding for the Media Mundus programme which pays for international productions, training programmes and professional scholarships.
Evropske volitve: Parlament gre na televizijo
You decide what tomorrow's news will be
Uradni televizijski video posnetek za evropske volitve med 4. in 7. junijem 2009 "Ti odločaš!" je geslo televizijskega spota Evropskega parlamenta, ki je od ponedeljka na voljo javnosti in državljanom sporoča, kako pomembna je njihova udeležba na volitvah 7. junija.
TV ad for European elections The upcoming European election is taking to the airwaves in adverts on television and at cinemas across Europe.
Televizijski spot v 34 jezikih je eno od orodij v informacijski kampanji, ki skupaj z radijskimi oglasi, plakati, mnenjskimi kioski, spletnimi stranmi, informacijami za novinarje in prisotnostjo na družabnih spletiščih, kot sta Facebook in MySpace opozarja na potencialni vpliv odločitev Evropskega parlamenta na vsakdan Evropejcev.
Based on the theme of people making the news tomorrow through today's voting choices, they show people from different countries saying what they hope to hear in the future.
Večjezični spot je pripravil generalni direktorat za komuniciranje Evropskega parlamenta in bo prirejen za predvajanje v vsaki od 27 držav članic Evropske unije.
A father calls for more paternity leave while a worker wants Europe to stop imports of foreign goods.
Vsa govorjena besedila so ustrezno podnaslovljena, da bo sporočilo lahko dostopno tudi slušno prizadetim.
In another scene, a young Spanish girl calls for a ban on cars on weekdays and a women says Europe's last nuclear plant has just closed.
Čeprav je "novica" izmišljena, je sporočilo državljanom, da lahko vplivajo na vsebino jutrišnjih televizijskih novic, če bodo izkoristili svojo državljansko pravico, se udeležili junijskih volitev in se odločili za eno od političnih opcij.
The TV ads form a part of a wider campaign using billboards, posters, vox boxes, facebook and YouTube to raise awareness of the forthcoming election.

Razprava pred junijskim Evropskim svetom
Preparations for EU summit debated...with EP elections just around the corner
Evropski parlament je že v torek razpravljal o temah junijskega Evropskega sveta, saj bo ta potekal v Bruslju 18. in 19. junija, torej slabih štirinajst dni po evropskih volitvah.
In today's debate ahead of the European Council of 18-19 June in Strasbourg, MEPs, the Council and Commission spoke not only about the summit agenda but also their hopes for ratification of the Lisbon Treaty and in particular the importance of the upcoming European elections of 4-7 June.
V razpravi je beseda tekla tudi o ratifikaciji lizbonske pogodbe ter o imenovanju prihodnje Evropske komisije.
Opening the debate on behalf of the Council presidency , Alexandr VONDRA , the Czech deputy prime minister for European affairs, spoke first about institutional issues.
Alexandr Vondra, podpredsednik češke vlade, pristojen za evropske zadeve, je izrazil optimizem, ker naj bi evropski voditelji še do vrha oblikovali dogovor, s katerim bi irskim volivcem dali zagotovila, da lizbonska pogodba ne bo spremenila vloge Irske v EU.
He was optimistic about ongoing efforts to finalise an agreement giving Ireland guarantees on various issues of concern to the Irish people, so that Ireland could ratify the Lisbon Treaty.
Glede imenovanja naslednje Komisije in njenega predsednika, ki naj bi odražala tudi razmerje sil v Parlamentu, pa je dodal, da gre za zapleteno vprašanje, zato bo češko predsedstvo po evropskih volitvah s partnerji temeljito preučilo zadevo.
Mr Vondra then spoke cautiously about the appointment of the next European Commission, and in particular its president, after next month's European Parliament elections, saying "I am fully aware of the views expressed here on the desirability of associating the European Parliament in this process in an adequate manner.
O reševanju gospodarske krize je Vondra dejal, da se bo vrh posvetil ukrepom za nadzor finančnih ustanov ter spodbudo realnemu sektorju gospodarstva in zaposlovanju.
The matter is of course complicated.
