Svečane podelitve so se udeležile zvezdniki in politiki iz vsega sveta, ki so nagrade tudi podelili: predsednik Parlamenta Hans-Gert Pöttering, igralec Martin Sheen, nekdanja indijska ministrica za okolje Maneka Gandhi ter glasbenik Robin Gibb, član skupine Bee Gees.
The evening also featured music from Bee Gee Robin Gibb and violinist Nigel Kennedy.
Gostitelj večera, predsednik Parlamenta Pöttering opozoril, da sta le še dve minuti do dvanajste in da moramo nujno ukrepati.
This has allowed farmers to increase yields without using either more water or pesticides.
Nagrade Energy Globe Awards se od leta 1999 podeljujejo inovativnim projektom, ki prispevajo k varčni porabi energije in rabi obnovljivih energetskih virov.
Speaking about his reward he said later that "the skills can be transferred at a local level".
Nagrajen je bil njegov projekt solarne sušilne naprave za sušenje zelenjave in sadja.
The glitz and the glamour of the evening did not detract from a more serious and sombre message about the environmental emergency faced by the world.
Kenijski kmetje s pomočjo te naprave in sončne energije že pridelujejo 50 odstotkov več pridelka in pri tem ne onesnažujejo okolja.
As EP President Hans-Gert Pöttering, Energy Globe's host for the day, pointed out: "it's two minutes to midnight and we have to act" .
Trenutno deluje 30 tovrstnih sušilcev, neprestano pa nameščajo nove.
The entries were submitted in the categories Earth, Fire, Water, Air and Youth.
"Ta tehnika je povsod uporabna.
In these categories the winners were:
Ljudje jo radi uporabljajo in širi se kot ogenj v grmovju", je izjavil nagrajenec.
Fire: solar homes in India
Brownstein je prejel nagrado v kategoriji voda za inovativno odkritje, kako očistiti onesnaženo vodo s pomočjo filtra iz plastičnih odpadkov.
Jerry M. Brownstein from the US won this category for developing waste water treatment using water filters made of recycled plastics that cleans it allowing it to be drank.
Filter iz onesnažene vode vsrka mikroorganizme in bakterije ter do 100 odstotkov odpadnih olj.
The filter can absorb up to 100% of oil contained in polluted water.
Nagrado je podelil violinist Nigel Kennedy, ki je opozoril na krivično porazdelitev svetovnega bogastva.
The award was presented by violinist Nigel Kennedy, who took the opportunity to draw attention to huge disparities in the distribution of wealth in the world.
Nagrado Energy Globe Award v kategoriji zrak je prejel Reindert Augustijn, iznajditelj majhnih naprav v Vietnamu za pridobivanje bio plina iz živalskih fekalij.
In this category Reindert Augustijn won the award for inventing small Biogas plants for local communities in Vietnam.
Naprave naj bi zmanjšale porabo fosilnih goriv in s tem tudi letne emisije ogljikovega dioksida za okoli 54.000 ton.
The installed plants help to reduce annual CO2 emissions.
Ta tehnika je tako uspešna, da že načrtujejo 150.000 novih naprav.
Presenting the award, Parliament's President Pöttering said that "EU and the EP have a leading role...but we have to cooperate with the US, India and China - we must work together".
Nagrado v tej kategoriji mladost je prejela Kunstuniversität Linz.
I was mostly impressed by the humanity of the winners.
Njeni študenti so v Južni Afriki iz lokalnih materialov postavili pasivno solarno hišo, v kateri je, neodvisno od zunanjih temperatur, s pomočjo naravne klimatske naprave, stalna temperatura približno 20 stopinj.
Everyone who took part radiated great optimism.
Nagrado je podelil Robert Gibb, pevec skupine Bee Gees..
This shows that we can solve problems if we really want to - the positive attitude shows that we can do it".
Podeljena pa je bila tudi nacionalna častna nagrada, ki jo je prejela gostiteljica Belgija za skrbno prenovo stare meščanske hiše, ki je tako postala energetsko varčna.
One of the key supporters of the event, Paul Rübig of the European People's Party said that "the Parliament proved that it is at the living edge of what is happening in the world.
Nagrado je podelil nekdanji evropski komisar Franz Fischler.
We proved to the globe that we are able to master the future.
Ob koncu se je ganjen odzval tudi Wolfgang Neumann, ustanovitelj Energy Globe Awards: „Čudovito!
The projects give us the courage for a better and safer future".

Evropski poslanci podpirajo ugodne tarife za gostovanje v tujih mobilnih omrežjih
MEPs back cut to roaming fees
Poslanci želijo enotno ceno 40 centov za minuto pogovora
MEPs want foreign calls capped at 40 cent a minute
Tako naj bi kmalu za minuto pogovora v tujini odšteli le še največ 40 centov, ne glede na to, v kateri državi Evropske unije se trenutno nahajate.
It proposes a flat rate of 40 cent a minute anywhere in the EU and with a vote in full plenary due on 9 May, lower mobile phone costs while abroad are a step closer.
Ponudniki telefonskih storitev svojim strankam za telefoniranje v tujem mobilnem omrežju v povprečju zaračunavajo petkrat več, kot so dejanski stroški.
The two largest blocs in the Parliament - the European People's Party (EPP) and the Socialists (PES) both welcomed the deal which was hailed as a compromise between consumers and businesses.
To je lahko zasluženi denar, menijo evropski poslanci.
Parliament's rapporteur Paul Rübig said that "roaming charges are set to tumble - this is a major success for European consumers and a clear signal to Europe's telecom industry" said the EPP member.
Samo z gostovanjem v tujih mobilnih omrežjih ponudniki telefonskih storitev namreč letno zaslužijo 8,5 milijonov evrov, kar je 5,7 odstotkov celotnih prihodkov v tej gospodarski panogi.
The Vice-President of the PES Robert Goebbels called it "a victory that will help consumers right across the EU for many years to come".
„Pomemben uspeh za evropske potrošnike"
You Roam in, for example, Rome, - and then you pay the price
Parlamentarni odbor za industrijo je 12. aprila z veliko večino glasoval za ugodne tarife za gostovanje v tujih omrežjih, ki jih je junija preteklega leta predlagala Evropska komisija.
Most of us know the story, you go abroad on holiday or for a business trip and at some point we either make or receive a telephone call.
Mnenje med evropskimi poslanci je bilo sprva deljeno med tiste, ki so podpirali interese podjetij in tiste, ki so si prizadevali za pravice potrošnikov.
When the bill comes the charges are normally a lot higher than the rate you pay at home.
Nasprotja so se naposled zgladila in obe največji politični skupini Parlamenta – evropska ljudska stranka in skupina socialdemokratov ­– sta glasovali v prid evropskim državljanom.
According to the European Commission, roaming costs for consumers can be as much as five times the amount they cost the operators for the service.
Predsednik skupine socialnih demokratov, Robert Goebbels, pa je poudaril, da je to pomembna zmaga, ki bo mnoga prihodnja leta krepila pravice potrošnikov.
At present roaming costs vary enormous from one EU country to another - ranging form €0.58 to €5 euro a minute.
Komisija je predlagala, da se za klice v državah znotraj Unije določi zgornja meja 30 centov, za klice v tujo državo pa zgornja meja 44 centov.
"Roaming revenue" for operators is considerable - worth an estimated 8.5 billion euro a year to the telephone industry.
Poslanci zahtevajo večjo preglednost
Both of these will be subject to VAT.
Evropski poslanci med drugim zahtevajo, da ponudniki svoje stranke natančno obveščajo o tarifah za telefoniranje v določenih državah.
The Committee agreed that "all existing and new roaming customers shall automatically be accorded a Euro-tariff", unless they "opt-out" for a cheaper operator package.
Potrošnik bi moral takoj ob vstopu v tujo državo sprejeti SMS sporočilo, ki ga obvesti o ceni za minuto telefonskega pogovora v tej državi.
They can switch to and from a Euro-tariff at no charge within 30 days.
Odbor za industrijo zahteva, da nacionalne oblasti državljane preko medijev obvestijo o kmalu veljavnih spremembah.
In addition to this MEPs would also like operators to introduce a system whereby consumers would be informed by automatic SMS of the cost of calls whenever they enter another country.
Pri tem naj navedejo tudi pregled tarif različnih ponudnikov.
This would go hand in hand with extra information about tariffs across the EU.
Tako bi se povečala tudi konkurenčnost med ponudniki.
Part of this information campaign would be a "price simulator" for consumers.
Sporočilca SMS in MMS
So, what happens next?
Nova uredba o evropskem gostovanju v tujih omrežjih trenutno ne obravnava sporočilc SMS in MMS.
The next step is a vote in plenary on 9 May where the full House gets a say on the Industry Committee's proposal.
O Rübigovem poročilo naj bi poslanci glasovali na majskem plenarnem zasedanju.
If they reject the proposals it will go to a second legislative reading which will take more time.
Končno odločitev pa bodo ministri držav članic predvidoma sprejeli v začetku junija.
The main bones of contention are how the "opt out" and opt-in" choices will work and the exact level of the tariff.
Če se ne bodo sporazumeli glede nove uredbe, potem bosta Parlament in Svet o tej temi ponovno razpravljala, kar pa bo proces znatno zavleklo.
At present the proposals for the tariff from the Parliament, Council and Commission range from 40 to 52 cents to make a call and 15 to 25 cent to receive one.
Končni sporazum na tem področju pa lahko vsekakor pričakujemo še pred poletnimi počitnicami.
Nevertheless, the price of using a phone whilst abroad is certain to fall dramatically soon - good news for Europe's consumers!

Hrvaška upa na pristop k Evropski uniji: Poslanci glasujejo
Croatia's EU hopes: MEPs to vote in Strasbourg on state of play
Bo Hrvaška 2009 osemindvajseta članica EU?
Dubrovnik, shelled in the war, now symbolic of Croatian optimism
Bo Hrvaška naslednja članica Evropske unije?
Will Croatia become the EU's next member?
Nedavne javnomnenjske raziskave so pokazale, da si to želi 53 odstotkov Hrvatov.
A recent poll found that 53% of Croatia's 4.5 million people would like it to be.
Evropski poslanci bodo na aprilskem plenarnem zasedanju v Strasbourgu glasovali o poročilu o napredku Hrvaške na poti k članstvu v EU.
Next Wednesday in Plenary MEPs will have their own "poll" when they vote on a report on Croatia's progress towards EU membership.
Sodelovanje Hrvaške z ICTY
Suspected war criminals
Poročilo izreka pohvalo Hrvaški za njeno sodelovanje z Mednarodnim kazenskim sodiščem za nekdanjo Jugoslavijo (ICTY), vendar izraža zaskrbljenost, da bi kazenskopravni pregon vojnih zločincev lahko ogrozile težave na lokalni ravni, kot denimo pristranskost nekaterih zaposlenih v sodstvu do državljanov, ki niso hrvaške narodnosti, ter nezadostna zaščita prič pred ustrahovanjem.
The most critical part of report voices concerned that "hostility at a local level" in Croatia may undermine prosecution of suspected war criminals.
Hrvati morajo nujno spremeniti svoje negativno mnenje o ICTY.
It also says that the negative perception by Croats of the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia (ICTY) must be overcome.
Poročilo kritično opozarja tudi na plačila generalom hrvaške vojske ter na ponudbo Zagreba, da hrvaška vlada kot prijatelja sodišča (amicus curiae) nastopa v postopkih, ki potekajo pred ICTY.
On relations with the Court, the report is also critical of Zagreb's willingness to pay the legal fees for army generals and its offer to act as "amicus curiae" (when a third party offers assistance to a court) for these and others before ICTY.
Hrvaška vlada je glede tega dejala, da je pripravljena kriti tudi stroške sojenja, saj naj bi imeli obtoženci nizke dohodke.
The Croatian government has defended its policy of paying for legal fees saying that the men are on very low incomes (as army officers) and cannot possibly afford their own legal costs.
Hrvaška je sprva zavrnila predajo ubežnega generala Anteja Gotovine.
The most notably beneficiary of these legal costs could be Croatian Army General Ante Gotovina.
Gotovina je bil slednjič prijet konec leta 2005 in v Haagu so ga skupaj s še dvema hrvaškima vojnima zločincema obsodili zaradi zločinov proti človečnosti v napadih hrvaške vojske leta 1995 v hrvaški Krajini.
He is charged with "Crimes against humanity" for his part in the 1995 military offensive in the "Krajina" area of Croatia.
Med številnimi Hrvati Gotovino velja za narodnega heroja.
The opening of membership talks was complicated by the controversy over Gotovina's status.
Spor glede slovensko-hrvaške meje
He was eventually arrested in late 2005.
Rešitev je nakazal sporazum med takratnima premeroma Drnovškom in Račanom, ki je bil sprejet julija 2001.
In 2004 Slovenia and its 2 million people became the first Yugoslav successor join to join the European Union.
Obe vladi sta ga sicer podpisali istočasno, vendar zaradi hrvaških notranjepolitičnih interesov nikoli ni začel veljati.
It is considered one of the "stars" of the new arrivals in terms of "Euro-enthusiasm" and economic performance.
Pöttering je takrat tudi pojasnil, da je bil obveščen o zahtevi Slovenije, da se v primeru posredovanja mednarodnega arbitražnega sodišča obravnava celotna meja s Hrvaško, kar pa bi lahko trajalo več let.
Another former part of Yugoslavia - the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is also an EU "candidate country" hoping to join the EU when it completes negotiations.
Hannes Swoboda v svojem poročilu Slovenijo in Hrvaško zato poziva, naj za dosego sporazuma o vseh nerešenih vprašanjih glede meje izkoristita vse razpoložljive možnosti ter ju prosi, naj se vzdržita kakršnihkoli enostranskih dejanj, ki bi lahko ogrozila takšen sporazum.
The report on Croatia also calls for the rapid ratification of the Kyoto protocol to reduce greenhouse gases, the introduction of a Civil Service Act to improve transparency and further steps to improve the country's judicial system.
Slovenija bo v prvi polovici leta 2008 predsedovala Evropski uniji in nihče ne želi, da bi bilo to vprašanje takrat še na dnevnem redu, še dodaja Swoboda.
It also calls on Croatia to liberalise its economy and reduce subsidies in the shipbuilding and steel industries.
Bo Hrvaška k EU pristopila leta 2009 ?
Croatia: EU members by 2009?
Mnoge države članice poleg tega menijo, da bi morala EU najprej rešiti vprašanje sprejetja ustavne pogodbe in šele nato nadaljevati širitve.
Some states have said that no more enlargements can take place before the situation regarding the Constitution can be clarified.
Nedavno podpisana Berlinska izjava je pozvala k razrešitvi ustavnega vprašanja še pred volitvami leta 2009.
The recent "Berlin declaration" to mark 50 years since the Rome Treaty called for the Constitutional issue to be settled before the 2009 elections - and some see this as the deadline for Croatia's membership.
Nekateri menijo, da je to tudi skrajni rok za pristop Hrvaške k Uniji.
Across the EU and the European Parliament Croatia has many supporters.
Prenos glasovanja o poročilu na plenarnem zasedanju si lahko v živo ogledate na naši spletni strani.
You can see the result of the vote live here next Wednesday on the Parliament's website.

Evropski poslanci za "letalske šerife", vendar pod strogimi pogoji
MEPs accept "sky marshals" but under strict conditions
Nekateri bi se s tem nedvomno strinjali, drugi pa bi se zgrozili ob mislih na orožje v zraku.
For some the answer would be an unequivocal "yes", for others visions of a mid-air gun battle fill them with horror.
Poslanci bodo na plenarnem zasedanju naslednji teden glasovali o poročilu, ki dopušča uvedbo ustrezno usposobljenih "letalskih šerifov", in hkrati določa, da o tem odločijo nacionalne oblasti.
In Plenary next week MEPs will vote on a report that accepts the idea of sky marshals but says they must be highly trained, that no country will be obliged to accept them and that a decision on whether they can be armed is up to the national authorities.
Takšni letalski šerifi pa niso nič novega.
The use of such marshals is hardly new.
Air India in izraelski El Al jih uporabljata že več let.
The Israeli national carrier El Al and Air India have used them for years.
Pojavili so se zlasti po terorističnih napadih na ZDA, 11. septembra 2003, da bi preprečili nadaljnje morebitne ugrabitve letal.
However, it was the 9/11 attacks on the United States that pushed them into the spotlight as a possible way of preventing future hijackings.
Leta 2003 so ZDA od tujih letalskih družb zahtevale, da kot varnostni ukrep pred terorističnimi napadi uvedejo oborožene policiste, ki bodo prisotni na vseh letih v ZDA.
In 2003 the US ordered all foreign airlines to have armed guards as a precaution against terrorist attacks.
Evropski poslanci so zavrnili obvezne ukrepe
MEPs reject compulsory measures
Parlamentarni odbor za promet je pretekli teden s soglasjem sprejel oceno o skupnih pravilih na področju varnosti v letalstvu.
Last week Parliament's Transport Committee voted unanimously on a revision of the "Common Rules in the field of aviation security".
Odbor za prevoz je namreč zavrnil obvezne ukrepe za uvedbo varnostnih uradnih oseb med letom ter vztraja, da se država sama odloči, ali in kdaj jih bo uvedla oziroma potrebovala.
His comments made it clear that the Transport Committee had rejected any compulsory measures, instead insisting that no country will be obliged to accept sky marshals.
Costa je glede usposabljanja oboroženih varnostnih oseb na letalu izjavil, da poročilo zahteva, da so te ustrezno usposobljene in da imajo posebno pooblastilo za morebitno uporabo orožja.
On the issue of training for possible marshals he said "my report requires in-flight security officers to be properly trained and specific authorisation to carry weapons is also required".
Zastavlja pa se tudi vprašanje, kdo bo kril stroške novih varnostnih ukrepov.
Mr Costa is also concerned about how the costs of new security measures would be met and by whom.
Poročilo poziva, da te stroške nosijo letalski potniki in države članice.
The report calls for airline passengers and countries to bear the cost.

Državljanski forumi v EU: Državljani razpravljajo o prihodnosti Evrope
Citizens' Forums: what people are saying in 2007
O tem pa niso razglabljali le politiki, temveč tudi državljani na tako imenovanih državljanskih forumih EU, kjer so imeli priložnost, da izrazijo svoje mnenje.
This year alone they have brought together members of the public, MEPs, MPs, local representatives and NGOs in 15 countries.
V nadaljevanju si oglejmo najpomembnejše izmed njih.
Below is a flavour of what people have been discussing this year.
Evropska ustava pa je bila prav tako tema razprav na državljanskem forumu 10. februarja v Firencah.
Italy: Florence 10 February
Nekateri udeleženci so zahtevali bolj socialno ustavo in predlagali, da se referendum za ustavo združi z evropskimi volitvami leta 2009.
Others wanted the Constitution to push the more "social" aspect of Europe - i.e. job security, living standards, health care, and social security - rather than concentrate on institutional issues.
Glavne teme razprav na forumu v valižanskem Cardiffu 9. marca so bile priseljevanje, podnebne spremembe in boj proti revščini.
United Kingdom: Cardiff, Wales 9 March
Priseljencem pa bi bilo treba omogočiti jezikovne tečaje.
They also said that language classes should be provided for immigrants.
Kritično so ocenili tudi subvencije za proizvode iz EU, saj so tako prikrajšane države v razvoju.
Many participants also believed that subsidies for products produced in the EU could create unfair competition for developing countries.
Evropski poslanci so s švedskimi državljani razpravljali o temah kot so Evropska unija in ženske (zaposlovanje, splav, trgovina z ljudmi), lov na ptice, človekove pravice in drugo.
Debates in Sweden dealt with the position of women in the EU and human rights.
Švedska evropska poslanka Inger Segelström iz skupine socialdemokratov je dejala, da evropske ženske v povprečju zaslužijo 15 odstotkov manj kot njihovi moški sodelavci.
One of the MEPs who attended, Socialist member Inger Segelström said "the average women in Europe earns 15% less than men - this means they work without a salary in January and February".
To je tako, kakor da ženske za delo denimo januarja in februarja ne bi prejele plačila, je nadaljevala Segelström.
On human rights Jens Holm of the European United Left said that "whether human rights issue is a success story or not depends on who you ask.
9. marca sta v obeh delih mesta potekala državljanska foruma.
Latvia and Estonia: Valka, Valga 9 March
Osrednje točke na dnevnem redu so bile čezmejno sodelovanje, študij v tujini in uvedba evra.
Fittingly, the event was dominated by discussions over regional development and cross border cooperation.
Švedska: Evropska unija in načelo preglednosti (3. maj); ustava Evropske unije (11. maj), oba foruma bosta v Stockholmu

Equitable Life: Ko privatno pokojninsko zavarovanje postane nočna mora
When an Equitable Life becomes an inequitable life
Poslanci pomagajo oškodovancem
Before the fall: Equitable boasted of good returns
Zavarovalniška družba Equitable Life Assurance Society je bila ustanovljena leta 1762.
In the 1980's the British private insurance company Equitable Life looked like a good place to set aside some money for retirement.
Pred več kot 50 leti je uvedla starostno zavarovanje, ki naj bi zavarovancem v starosti zagotavljalo minimalno rento.
It was one of the oldest in the world and had wide experience of pension policy.
Vendar pa je zavarovalnica slabo ocenila dvig življenjske dobe svojih zavarovancev in njene naložbe so ji prinašale manjše donose, kot je pričakovala.
However, by the mid 1990's falling interest rates and lower inflation had put the company into trouble.
Znano je tudi, da je družba Equitable Life pri drugih zavarovalniških storitvah (na primer pri življenjskem zavarovanju z udeležbo na dobičku) velik del dobička razdelila strankam in tako ni uspela ustvariti ustreznih rezervnih skladov.
Shortly after it closed for new business in 2000, it reduced the value of all its pension policies by 16%.
