Med ukrepi, ki jih predlagajo državam članicam, je tudi uvedba obvezne telesne vzgoje v šolah in povečanje števila ur tega predmeta, saj je v Evropi več kot 3 milijone otrok s povečano telesno težo.
The report by Elizabeth Lynne (ALDE, UK) welcomes the Commission's forthcoming proposal to make 2010 the European Year of Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion.
O pozorila je , da zaradi današnjega načina življenja mnogo otrok preživi veliko časa v zaprtih prostorih in ob računalnikih ter poudarila pomen poročila, da spodbudi k ponovnem razmisleku o vlogi športa v izobraževanju:
Overall, 78 million European citizens still live in poverty, 8% of people in the EU suffer from in-work poverty and the gap between rich and poor in many Member States is increasing.
"Rada bi opozorila na dva vidika, ki sta bežno omenjena tudi v tem poročilu.
The report was adopted with 345 votes in favour, 14 against and 2 abstentions.
Najprej na pomen športne vzgoje za otroke s posebnimi potrebami.
This challenge is one of fairness.
Prevladuje težnja, da jih v čim večjem številu integriramo v redne šole.
Our objective is clear: we want to expand opportunities so that nobody, whatever their background or circumstance, is left behind.
Zaradi različnih potreb teh otrok in mladostnikov pa v rednih šolah ni vedno mogoče zagotavljati ustrezne opreme in obravnave.
The vision of Europe must be freedom and opportunity for all, increasing opportunities and incentives to work, whilst strengthening the safety-net for those who are unable to work."
Po drugi strani pa prav ti otroci potrebujejo posebno pozornost in telesno aktivnost, saj na primer gibalno ovirani otroci veliko časa preživijo v sedečem položaju in potrebujejo zato še več možnosti za gibanje.
A decent minimum wage at Member State level The draft report urges Commission and Council to examine "how Europe can provide a social level playing field to eradicate unfair competition in the European internal market".
Zato bi morali pri vključevanju otrok v redne šole zagotavljati ustrezne pogoje tudi za njim prilagojeno telesno aktivnost.
It stresses that "to make work financially viable", a "decent living minimum wage" should be set at Member State level - be it by national law or in cooperation with the social partners.
Niso pomembni zgolj športni dosežki, ampak tudi zdravje in vzgojno delo z mladimi, kateremu bi morali trenerji v klubih nameniti prav tako veliko pozornosti.
They should also sign and ratify, if they have not yet done so, the UN Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and their Families.
Starši namreč želijo zaupati svoje otroke nekomu, ki si ne bo prizadeval zgolj za čim boljši športni dosežek, ampak bo prevzel tudi skrb za njihovo zdravje ter bo hkrati vzgojitelj, zgledna oseba na vseh področjih.
Combat child poverty Given the number of children abandoned, on the streets or in institutions, Member States should provide adequate resources for combating child poverty, says the report.
Le tako lahko govorimo o pozitivni vlogi športa v življenju mladega človeka."
Member States are urged to ensure that their citizens are literate and have "the skills and knowledge to gain useful employment".
Resolucija o vlogi športa v izobraževanju
MEPs also note that people from less wealthy backgrounds are "seriously underrepresented" in higher education.

Statistični podatki o prostih delovnih mestih
Human rights: religious persecution, Uzbekistan, Somalia
Predlog uredbe o četrtletnih statističnih podatkih o prostih delovnih mestih v EU, ki ga je parlament z dopolnili potrdil v prvem branju postopka soodločanja, je del izboljšanja kakovosti zbiranja in obdelave podatkov kot enega od pomembnih elementov lizbonske strategije.
In its three human rights resolutions adopted at the end of this week's session, Parliament highlights the persecution of religious believers, particularly Christians, in certain countries; endorses the Council's recent decision to suspend visa restrictions on the Uzbekistan authorities; and calls for an immediate ceasefire in Somalia as well as action by the international community.
Obnovljena strategija je leta 2005 na države članice med drugim naslovila poziv, da je treba na trg dela pritegniti več ljudi in ustvariti več delovnih mest, zato pa je treba imeti tudi boljše podatkih o povpraševanju po delovni sili.
Threats to Christian and other religious communities around the world In a resolution on threats to Christian and other religious communities, MEPs voice serious concern at the persecution of religious believers in numerous places around the world.
Četrtletni in letni strukturni podatki o prostih delovnih mestih omogočajo spremljanje in analizo stopnje in strukture povpraševanja po delovni oziroma so kazalec pomanjkanja delovne sile, ozkih grl in neskladij glede na regijo, gospodarski sektor in poklic.
Parliament is especially worried about the proliferation of episodes of intolerance and repression directed against Christian communities, particularly in the countries of Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
Podatki o prostih delovnih mestih so v pomoč nacionalnim organom pri oceni in spremljanju trga dela ter pri odločanju o zaposlovalni politiki.
It lists many cases in detail, in countries and territories such as Iraq, Pakistan, Gaza, Egypt, Turkey, the Philippines, Sudan, China and Vietnam.
Komisija in Evropska centralna banka rabita četrtletne podatke za spremljanje kratkoročnih sprememb glede na gospodarsko dejavnost, podatki pa so del sklopa glavnih evropskih ekonomskih kazalnikov.
EU action The resolution calls on the Commission and the Council to raise the subject of the situation of the Christian communities in the framework of the political dialogue with the countries where they are threatened, and when drafting and implementing development cooperation and aid programmes with those countries.
Z nacionalnih na evropski sistem Nacionalni podatki o prostih in zasedenih delovnih mestih se od leta 2003 zbirajo na podlagi prijateljskega dogovora.
MEPs also urge the European Union and the Member States to earmark more funds for the activities of the UNHCR and for humanitarian aid managed by that organisation.
Uredba naj bi predvsem zagotovila usklajeno zbiranja podatkov za zadostitev zahtev uporabnikov na tem področju.
However, the Council lifted a visa ban on Uzbek officials for six months "to encourage the Uzbek authorities to take further positive steps to improve the human rights situation".
Predlog upošteva načela, določena v Evropskem statističnem kodeksu ravnanja, zlasti načelo stroškovne učinkovitosti, in si s posebnimi ukrepi prizadeva za čim večje zmanjšanje obremenitve za podjetja in nacionalne statistične urade.
It "reiterates the importance of EU-Uzbekistan relations and acknowledges Uzbekistan's crucial role in the Central Asia region but stresses that those relations must be based on mutual respect for the principles of democracy, rule of law and human rights, as is clearly laid down in the EU-Uzbekistan Partnership and Cooperation Agreement".
Ker lahko samo Komisija koordinira uskladitev statističnih informacij na ravni EU, medtem ko zbiranje podatkov lahko organizirajo le države članice, je uredba omejena na minimum, ki je potreben za dosego njenega cilja, in se nanaša le na to, kar je nujno.
However, it goes on to say that "the policy of targeted sanctions has not produced positive results so far" and "considers it, therefore, justifiable to encourage the Uzbek authorities by lifting the visa ban on Uzbek officials….. for six months".
Poleg tega se uredba uporablja neposredno, kar pomeni, da je ni treba prenesti v nacionalno pravo, s tem pa se izogne zamudam, povezanim s prenosom direktiv v nacionalno zakonodajo.
Lastly, the Uzbek authorities are urged to make further progress in the area of human rights and "to fully implement their international obligations to fundamental freedom, freedom of press and media as well as rule of law".
Parlament je v četrtek sprejel poročilo, ki ga je pripravil poslanec Alexandru ATHANASIU (PES, RO) in več dopolnil k predlogu uredbe.
At least 80 people have been killed in the recent fighting between the Union of Islamic Courts and allied Ethiopian and Transitional Federal Government (TFG) troops and at least 100,000 people have been displaced.
Med drugim se poslanci zavzemajo, da bi morali statistični podatki razlikovati med prostimi delovnimi mesti za določen in nedoločen čas.
About 38,000 children under the age of five among the rural population are estimated to be acutely malnourished and 10,000 are believed to be at risk of death.
Prav tako želijo podrobneje določiti merila za ocenjevanje kakovosti podatkov, vsi podatki pa morali biti tudi javno dostopni na spletnih straneh evropskega statističnega urada Eurostat in spletnem portalu za zaposlitveno mobilnost EURES.
African states urged to provide full contingent of AU peacekeeping troops While welcoming the efforts by the African Union to assemble a peacekeeping force, MEPs deplore the fact that so far only 1,600 soldiers out of the 8,000 promised have actually been deployed.
Dopolnila k predlogu uredbe so usklajena med Svetom in parlamentom, zato bo nova zakonodaja predvidoma kmalu stopila v veljavo.
More generally, the international community, particularly the EU, is asked "to increase the provision of humanitarian assistance to internally displaced persons and people in need".
Financiranje izvajanja bo potekalo v okviru evropskega programa za zaposlovanje in socialno solidarnost – PROGRESS.
In addition, they highlight the urgent need for journalists to be protected and condemn the Somali Government's systematic harassment of journalists.

Lastly, says Parliament, the EU-Africa Summit in Lisbon on 8 and 9 December 2007 should "give urgent consideration to the grave situation prevailing in Somalia".

Zmanjšanje izpustov toplogrednih plinov v letalstvu
Clear skies ahead: MEPs vote to curb airline emissions by including them in European trading scheme
Cilji, postavljeni v Kjotskem sporazumu sicer predvidevajo osemodstotno zmanjšanje izpustov in nova zakonodaja Evropske unije naj bi bila korak v pravo smer.
Cumulative growth of CO2 emissions, meanwhile, is at 87 percent since 1990, in stark contrast to the EU's overall 8% greenhouse gas reduction target under the Kyoto Protocol.
Evropski parlament je v torek v prvi obravnavi postopka soodločanja potrdil predlog direktive o vključitvi letalskega sektorja v sistem trgovanja z izpusti CO 2 (ETS).
It is with this in mind (and in line with its overall strategy to tackle climate change) that the European Parliament approved, by a large majority, the European Commission's plan to include the aviation sector in the EU Emission Trading Scheme (ETS).
Zmanjšanje izpustov v letalstvu za 10 odstotkov
A 10 percent cut in airline emissions
Parlament je k predlogu direktive sprejel številna dopolnila.
MEPs introduced several significant changes into the draft law, however.
Komisija je kot izhodiščno točko predlagala povprečje izpustov letalskih prevoznikov v letih 2004-2006, poslanci pa se zavzemajo, da bi bila dovoljena količina že na začetku znižana na 90 odstotkov povprečja.
While the Commission had proposed capping ETS allowances for CO2 emissions at 100 percent of aircraft operators' average annual emissions during 2004-2006 , the EP went even further, reducing the number of ETS-authorised emissions for aviation to 90 percent.
Poročilo sicer ugotavlja, da se bo letalski sektor zaradi same narave svoje tehnologije težko preusmeril na alternativne oziroma obnovljive energetske vire.
Though acknowledging the specific nature of the airline sector ("it is difficult", says the final report, "for aircraft operators to switch to alternative (renewable) energy sources".
Glede na to, ali bo za ciljno raven ogljikovega dioksida po letu 2012 izbrano znižanje za 30 ali za 20 odstotkov glede na raven iz leta 1990, naj bi Komisija zmanjšala skupno dodeljeno količino pravic za letalske prevoznike v nadaljnjih obdobjih
Depending on the EU's choice for a post-2012 target of either 30 percent or 20 percent reductions in overall CO2 emissions (as compared to 1990 levels), they decided, "the Commission shall reduce the total quantity of allowances" in further periods.
Pravice naj bi na usklajen način dodeljevale države članice, količina za posameznega prevoznika pa bi znašala tono CO 2 na leto , znotraj te skupne količine pa bi bil določen odstotek razdeljen brezplačno, medtem ko je za preostali del predvideno licitiranje.
The ETS allocates a number of permits to operators, each giving them the right to emit one tonne of carbon dioxide per year.
Komisija v predlogu ne določa deleža pravic, ki bi se licitirale, parlament pa predlaga četrtino celotne količine.
The total number of permits sets a limit, therefore, on the overall emissions from participants in the scheme.
Prihodki iz licitiranja pravic naj bi se uporabili za zajezitev emisij toplogrednih plinov in prilagoditev na vplive podnebnih sprememb, ter za financiranje raziskav in razvoja zajezitve.
While some permits are allocated to operators free of charge, others are traded freely (auctioned) -- this, to allow emissions reductions to be made where they are most cost-effective.
Države bi jih lahko uporabile tudi za znižanje davkov na podnebju prijazne prevozne načine, kot so vlaki in avtobusi.
While the Commission proposed no concrete values for the number of permits to be auctioned, MEPs did so, deciding on an initial figure of 25 percent.
Veljavnost za vse polete od leta 2011
All flights covered by 2011
Komisija je predlagala, da bi se notranji leti EU v sistem ETS vključili leta 2011, odhodni in dohodni leti v Unijo (poleti v in iz tretjih držav) pa z letom 2012.
The Commission had also proposed that the ETS should cover all intra-EU flights as of 2011, but that flights between the EU and third-country airports should come under its scope only as of 2012.
Parlament se s postopnostjo uvajanja ne strinja in je sprejel dopolnilo, po katerem bi shema začela hkrati veljati tako za notranje kot zunanje lete, z letom 2011.
The Parliament disagreed, voting through amendments that would see no distinction made between EU and non-EU flights in this regard: the scheme, they decided, would cover both types of flights by 2011.
Izjema bi veljala za poskusne in reševalne leti (zdravniška pomoč, pomoč ob naravni nesrečah ter gašenje požarov) ter lete za usposabljanje, kakor tudi za polete vojaških in policijskih letal ter helikopterjev.
As rapporteur Peter Liese (EPP-ED, DE) had earlier stated, " It is difficult to explain that a flight from the UK to Morocco is not covered by the scheme while a flight from the UK to the Canary Islands [would] be covered."
Izjema ne bi veljala za polete vladnih letal.
Lastly, whereas the Commission sought to exempt government flights from the scheme, MEPs -- taking the line that governments ought to be setting an example -- deleted the derogation.
Evropska unija se je zavezala, da bo do leta 2012 izpuste toplogrednih plinov zmanjšala za 8 odstotkov v primerjavi z ravnijo iz leta 1990.
If all of Parliament's amendments are acceptable to the Council, the legislation will be adopted in its modified form.
Do leta 2020 naj bi se izpusti zmanjšali za približno 20 odstotkov v primeru mednarodnega sporazuma pa celo za 30 odstotkov.
Furthermore the single European sky, which the Commission mentioned, when fully implemented will reduce CO2 emissions by up to 12%, and this should be put into operation with urgency."
Zdaj je na potezi Svet EU.
This has to stop.
Če bo sprejel parlamentarna dopolnila, bo direktiva stopila v veljavo, če pa jih bo zavrnil ali dodal svoja, bo predlog direktive nadaljeval zakonodajno pot v drugo obravnavo.
Robert EVANS (PES, London, Labour, UK) congratulated Mr Liese for his report, and he quoted: 'we do not just inherit this planet from our ancestors, our parents, we borrow it from our children'.
Nicolas Sarkozy in Hans-Gert Pöttering
Presidents Sarkozy and Pöttering at the EP in Strasbourg
Po njegovem mnenju sta bili referendumski zavrnitvi ustave velik poraz Evrope, ki se je nato znašla v svoji doslej največji krizi, pot iz nje pa je bila dobra politična odločitev o reformni pogodbi, ki pomeni zmago Evrope.
In that "no", there was a cry of anguish, a disappointment that was shared by millions of men and women in Europe who had begun to despair of Europe because they felt it no longer protected them, that it had become indifferent to the problems of their lives, that it was no longer speaking to them.
Predlagal sem ustanovitev odbora modrecev za razmislek o prihodnosti, kar nam bo omogočilo razpravo o različnih možnostih prihodnjega razvoja Evrope.
But this crisis, which could undo Europe, could also be salutary if it led all those who are unfailingly committed to its cause to reflect on the reasons for this disaffection and on the goals of this extraordinary human experiment that no-one had attempted before.

Odbor za peticije: še več sodelovanja s Svetom in Komisijo
Petitions: MEPs wish to see EU law enforced
Leta 2006 je Evropski parlament prejel 1016 peticij iz vse Unije o domnevnih nepravilnostih pri izvajanju evropske zakonodaje.
In 2006, the European Parliament received no fewer than 1,016 petitions from citizens alleging failures to comply with EU law in their countries or regions.
Poslanci pozivajo Komisijo, naj proti državam članicam, kjer so ugotovljene kršitve, bolj sistematično ukrepa s pravnimi sredstvi, Svet EU pa bi moral bolje sodelovati z odborom za peticije.
MEPs are now calling on the Commission to take more systematic legal action against Member States in the event of infringements, and wish the Council to be more extensively involved in the work of the EP Petitions Committee.
Poslanci so v sredo z veliko večino potrdili poročilo, ki ga je pripravil Carlos José ITURGAIZ ANGULO (EPP-ED, ES) , besedilo pa poudarja, da je vlaganje peticij temeljna pravica, ki evropskim državljanom omogoča spremljanje, kako nacionalni, regionalni in lokalni organi prenašajo in izvajajo evropsko zakonodajo.
MEPs, in a report by Carlos José Iturgaiz Angulo (EPP-ED, ES) on the Petitions committee's deliberations in 2006, underline that petitioning is a "fundamental right" that enables European citizens to participate in monitoring the application of Community law by national, regional and local authorities.
Parlament je tudi prepričan, da uresničevanje te pravice pomembno prispeva k prizadevanjem Evropske unije za vzpostavitev stika s svojimi državljani in daje vpogled v pričakovanja evropske javnosti.
This right also contributes "significantly" to the EU's efforts to "reconnect with its citizens" and provides an insight into the expectations of the European public.
Od 1. januarja do 31. decembra 2006 je parlament prejel 1016 peticij, kar je povprečno tri peticije dnevno.
Between 1 January and 31 December 2006, the EP received 1,016 petitions, or roughly three per day, a figure comparable with 2005's (1,032).
Število se v primerjavi z letom 2005 ni bistveno spremenilo (takrat je parlament prejel 1032 peticij), približno tretjina pa jih je bila označenih za nedopustne, ker se niso nanašale na vprašanja, "ki sodijo na področje delovanja Evropske unije in ki ga oziroma jo neposredno zadevajo".
But about one-third of these were found to be inadmissible because they did not relate to the EU's spheres of competence. - which points to a need, say MEPs, to ensure that citizens are provided with adequate information on these spheres of competence.
