Kot sem že napovedal 13. februarja v svojem nastopnem govoru, sta strpnost in spoštovanje drugih pomembni evropski vrednoti, ki sta moji politični prioriteti in obvezi Evropskega parlamenta.
As I declared on 13 February 2007 in my inaugural address to the plenary, tolerance and respect for others are important European values, which are at the centre of my political priorities and to which the European Parliament is deeply committed.
Prepričan sem, da boste razumeli, da Evropski parlament, čigar bistvo je tudi živahna politična debata, odločno obsoja vse oblike nestrpnosti, nikakor ne more biti povezan s stališči, objavljenimi v vaši brošuri.
I trust you will understand that the European Parliament, which thrives on lively political debate and unfailingly condemns all forms of xenophobia, should under no circumstances be associated with the views published in your brochure."
Kot so predsedniku Pötteringu zagotovili v pristojnih parlamentarnih službah, Evropski parlament ni sofinanciral sporne publikacije, na kateri je sicer bil objavljen logotip ustanove.
President Pöttering has been previously assured by the Parliament's administration that the European Parliament has not made any financial contribution to this publication.
Prvi odstavek 147. člena Poslovnika EP določa:
Rules 147 (see links) of EP Rules of Procedure states:
Ravnanje poslancev izhaja iz medsebojnega spoštovanja, temelji na vrednotah in načelih, določenih v temeljnih besedilih Evropske unije, ohranja dostojanstvo Parlamenta in ne sme ogroziti poteka parlamentarnega dela, kakor tudi ne miru v vseh parlamentarnih stavbah.
Members’ conduct shall be characterised by mutual respect, be based on the values and principles laid down in the basic texts on which the European Union is founded, respect the dignity of Parliament and not compromise the smooth conduct of parliamentary business or disturb the peace and quiet of any of Parliament's premises.

Nebo nad Atlantikom bo še bolj prometno
MEPs broadly in favour of draft EU-US Open Skies agreement
Evropski parlament je v sredo izrazil podporo novemu osnutku sporazuma o zračnem prometu med EU in ZDA, ki so ga pogajalci z obeh strani dosegli v 2. marca.
MEPs call on the Council Ministers of Transport to endorse the 2 March 2007 draft agreement during its meeting of 22 and 23 March 2007.
S sporazumom bi bila dovoljena evropsko lastništvo in naložbe v ameriške letalske družbe, kar je zakonodaja ZDA doslej prepovedovala.
MEPs advocate the concept of 'one stop security', checking passengers and luggage only at the start of their journey and not again at every transfer.

Slednjega je, potem ko je prejšnji dan ob navzočnosti generalnega sekretarja prisluhnil njegovemu govoru, opomnil zaradi objave brošure z logom Evropskega parlamenta, v kateri so vsebovane ksenofobične opazke, ki jih je predsedstvo že obsodilo 1. marca 2007.
The President went on to point out that the previous day, in the presence of the Secretary-General, he had heard the Member concerned and had then reprimanded him for publishing a brochure, featuring the European Parliament's logo, which contained xenophobic comments that had already been condemned by the Bureau on 1 March 2007.
Nato je prebral del pisma, ki ga je poslal omenjenemu poslancu, in pojasnil, da je o zadevi obvestil tudi predsedstvo, predsednike političnih skupin in telesi, katerih član je poslanec, in sicer Odbor AFET in Delegacijo za odnose z ZDA.
He then read out part of the text of the letter he had sent to Mr Giertych, and pointed out that he had also sent a note on the matter to the Bureau, the chairmen of the political groups, and the bodies of which Mr Giertych is a member, namely the AFET Committee and the Delegation for Relations with the United States.
Predsednik je najprej pojasnil, da mu je konferenca predsednikov podelila mandat za zastopanje Parlamenta pri pogajanjih o Berlinski izjavi, ter nato začel razpravo s tem, da je poudaril pomen te izjave za prihodnost Evrope.
After pointing out that the Conference of Presidents had given him a mandate to represent Parliament at the negotiations on the Berlin Declaration, the President introduced the debate, stressing how important that Declaration would be for the future of Europe.

Medposlanske delovne skupine v Evropskem parlamentu
Intergroups: MEPs unite on single issues across party lines
Poslanci se združujejo zaradi skupnega zanimanja za določeno področje
Animal welfare, grapes and anti-racism - some issues covered by intergroups
Evropski poslanci se razen v politične skupine, kot so denimo skupine krščanskih, socialnih ali liberalnih demokratov, da navedemo le tri izmed njih, združujejo tudi v medposlanske delovne skupine.
It will astonish no-one that the European Parliament contains political groups like the European People's Party, Socialists, and Liberals - to name just three.
To so skupine poslancev iz različnih političnih skupin, ki se združujejo zaradi skupnega zanimanja za določeno področje, kot so na primer varstvo živali, invalidnost, boj proti rasizmu in drugo.
However, people may be surprised to learn that it also has 20 cross-party "intergroups" united on issues such as animal welfare, disabilities and anti-racism.
Trenutno je v Parlamentu 23 uradno priznanih medposlanskih delovnih skupin, če upoštevamo tudi neregistrirane, pa jih je celo štirideset.
That number jumps to 40 if we take in the non-registered ones such as the Kangaroo group that promotes freedom of movement.
Od pravic za živali do boja proti rasizmu
Animal rights to bioethics
Največja medposlanska delovna skupina v Parlamentu je skupina za varstvo živali, ki združuje 70 evropskih poslancev vseh političnih usmeritev.
One of the largest intergroups in the Parliament is on animal welfare, with around 70 MEPs from all shades of the political spectrum.
Skupina je bila zelo uspešna v svojih prizadevanjih na področju zaščite tjulenjev in evropske direktive o živalskih vrtovih.
In the past it has campaigned successfully on baby seals and the EU directive on zoos.
Njen predsednik, krščanski demokrat Neil Parish, je skupino opisal kot zelo učinkovito orodje v boju proti mučenju živali.
Neil Parish, the UK Conservative who Chairs the intergroup, said that "animal welfare is the issue raised most frequently in my mailbag....the intergroup is a powerful tool with which to fight the corner for animals..."
Področja drugih medposlanskih delovnih skupin so zelo različna: boj proti rasizmu, invalidnost, nebo in vesolje, bioetika, zdravje in zaščita potrošnikov, pravice homoseksualcev, vinogradništvo, da omenimo le nekatera izmed njih.
With 177 political parties from 27 countries represented in the European Parliament, it is perhaps inevitable that semi-formal groupings emerge around issues that cut across the party lines of Parliament's 8 political groups.
