"Državljani danes potrebujejo službe, mladi potrebujejo službe, gospodarstvo pa potrebuje rast: ne samo zdaj, ampak tudi v prihodnje," je dejal poslanec.
"Citizens today need jobs, young people need jobs, our economy needs growth not just now but all the way to the future," he said.
"Bomo morali za potovanje v Strasbourg imeti pripravljene potne liste?
Should we have to show our passports to visit Strasbourg?
Bi to moralo biti pravilo.
Is this the way that things have to be?
Vsekakor ne."
Surely, it is not."
Tako se je na besede francoskega predsednika Nicolasa Sarkozyja o ponovni uvedbi mejnega nadzora na notranjih mejah EU odzval vodja socialistov in demokratov (S&D), avstrijski poslanec Hannes Swoboda.
He also commented on the crisis: "We react too late to youth unemployment.
Opozoril je tudi, da se EU prepočasi odziva na brezposelnost mladih.
It is scandalous that we have people emigrating to Argentina.
"Škandalozno je, da ljudje emigrirajo v Argentino ali da zaslužijo tisoč evrov ali manj," je dejal Swoboda.
It is a scandalous too that we have citizens working for a one thousand euros or less."
Vodja liberalcev (ALDE), Belgijec Guy Verhofstadt je izrazil dvom v zvezi z napovedmi, da bo proračunski pakt rešil krizo.
Guy Verhofstadt , the Belgian chair of the Liberal-Democrat group, was sceptical about whether the recent summit was a turning point of the crisis in Europe.
Kritiziral je Evropsko centralno banko zaradi "tiskanja denarja", kar po njegovem mnenju ni zadosten ukrep.
"Do you really believe that the fiscal compact will put an end to the mess," he said.
Poslanec se je zavzel za evropske obveznice, po njegovem mnenju bi moralo 60 odstotkov dolga držav EU postati skupnega.
Mr Verhofstadt also criticised European Central Bank president Mario Draghi for "printing new money", which he described as an "insufficient solution to the crisis" and called for a redemption fund mutualising debt over 60% of GDP, which he considered as the only true long-term measure to stabilise the economy.
Ob tem se je Cohn-Bendit zavzel ne le za zlato proračunsko pravilo, ampak tudi za zlati socialno in okoljsko pravilo.
He also called for a "triple golden rule" in the EU that will cover not only budgetary discipline but will also be "a social and environmental golden rule".
Martin Callanan (ECR, Velika Britanija) je menil, da najhujše še ni mimo.
Martin Callanan , the British chair of the European Conservatives and Reformists Group, disputed that the worst of the crisis was over.
"Evropi ne gre dobro, je gospodarsko šibka in proračunski pakt je preprosto nerelevanten," je dejal poslanec, ki je tudi opozoril, da je bil padec življenjskega standarda v trenutni krizi največji po letu 1930.
"Europe is not ok, the economic weakness is the problem and the new (fiscal) treaty is simply irrelevant."
"Potrebni so ukrepi zato, da se organizira nadzorovan bankrot Grčije in njen izstop iz območja evra," je dejal Callanan.
He also talked of a "collapse in living standards and levels of unemployment unseen in Europe since the 1930s.
Irec Paul Murphy (GUE/NGL) je opozoril, da izpolnjevanje proračunskih ciljev samo za Irsko pomeni 5,7 milijard v proračunskih rezih in dvigih davkov, v območju evra pa gre za več deset milijard evrov.
Paul Murphy, Irish member of the Confederal Group of the European United Left - Nordic Green Left, said: "Trying to meet fiscal deficit targets means €5.7 billion in extra cuts and taxes in Ireland and more than ten billion across the euro zone.
"To ne pomeni rasti, ampak več brezposelnih, hujšo krizo, slabše javne storitve in slabše pogoje dela," je bil kritičen poslanec.
It doesn’t mean growth, it means more unemployed, more crisis, worse public services and worse work conditions."
Nigel Farage (EFD) ni imel ravno dobrega mnenja o sklepih Evropskega sveta.
Nigel Farage, co-chair of the Europe of the freedom and democracy Group, said he was shocked by talk about how positive the last Council meeting was.
"Odločeni ste ohraniti evro, ampak to je neumno," je dejal in opozoril, da bo zadnje reševanje Grčije državo "križalo".
"You are determined but delusional, to keep the euro propped up".

Bolonjski proces: poslanci želijo več mobilnosti za študente
MEPs call for more money and support for higher education in Europe
Bolonjska reforma od evropskih univerz zahteva prilagoditev programov, tako da ti potekajo v treh ciklih: diploma, magisterij, doktorat. ©Belga/EPA Cilj bolonjskega procesa, v katerem sodeluje 47 držav, je izboljšanje konkurenčnosti evropskega visokega izobraževanja, pri čemer veliko vlogo igra mobilnost študentov.
Student ©Belga/EPA MEPs adopted on 13 March a report calling for more funds and support to encourage student mobility and make European higher education more attractive and competitive.
V torek, 13. marca, je Parlament sprejel poročilo italijanskega poslanca Luigija Berlinguerja (S&D), v katerem poslanci pozivajo države EU, naj za evropske univerze zagotovijo več denarja.
This would involve reinforcing the Bologna Process, which aims to create a European Higher Education Area by making quality standards and degrees more compatible throughout the continent.
Bolonjska reforma od evropskih univerz zahteva prilagoditev programov, tako da ti potekajo v treh ciklih: diploma, magisterij, doktorat.
In addition to the EU, the Process is also implemented in 20 other European countries.
S tem želi EU univerzam olajšati ustvarjanje vrednosti na trgu, kar je poleg izobraževanja in raziskovanja njihova tretja temeljna naloga.
The Bologna Process required European universities to revise and reorganise their teaching activities in a three-cycle system (Bachelor, Master, and Doctorate) and also assist in creating wealth.
Bolonjski proces je pogoj za vzpostavitev enotnega trga EU in nepogrešljivo orodje za spopad z izzivi gospodarske in finančne krize, je v poročilu zapisal poslanec Berlinguer.
If is to contribute to achieving the goals of the EU's 2020 strategy for kick-starting Europe's economy, then more efforts will need to be made by universities, member states and the European institutions.
Več napredka si želi na področjih vzajemnega priznavanja poklicnih kvalifikacij, harmonizacije akademskih standardov, spodbujanja mobilnosti in odprave birokratskih ovir.
Italian Social-Democrat Luigi Berlinguer, the author of the report,stressed in the text: "It is a requirement for a full integration of the internal EU market and an indispensable tool for tackling the challenge provided by the economic and financial crisis."
Poročilo še pravi, da univerze potrebujejo finančno podporo držav članic in EU, da bi se tako lažje razvijale.
Universities need financial support from member states and the EU to support their efforts to change and develop their education practices.
S tem namenom je treba vzpostaviti nove mehanizme financiranja, so se strinjali poslanci.
Member states have to strengthen the funding system, while it is also necessary to develop new funding mechanisms.

Parlament se je poklonil žrtvam tragedije na avtocesti v Švici
Parliament pays tribute to the victims of tragic road accident in Switzerland
V noči na sredo se je na avtocesti v Švici zgodila huda prometna nesreča, v kateri je življenje izgubilo 28 ljudi, med njimi 22 otrok.
A minute's silence for the victims of the bus accident in Switzerland On 13 March 28 people, including 22 children, died in a tragic road accident in Switzerland.
Poslanci so se danes z minuto tišine spomnili žrtev te tragedije.
The European Parliament observed a minute's silence for the victims on Wednesday afternoon.

EP to vote on agreement governing the bittersweet trade in cocoa
Kakav: pomemben ne le za čokolado, ampak tudi za preživetje
Infograph about cocoa Cocoa is not only essential to creating delicious chocolate, but it is also a commodity millions of people depend upon for their income.
Razprava bo tekla tudi o otroškem delu v proizvodnji kakava.
It also aims to strengthen the role of the International Cocoa Organisation (ICCO).
Sporazum o kakavu, ki ga morajo pred vstopom v veljavo potrditi tudi poslanci, bo veljal deset let, zamenjuje pa tistega iz leta 2001.
The organisation collects, processes and distributes market data and works together with industry and NGOs.
Vzpostaviti želi pravične cene kakava, vzdržne dohodke za pridelovalce, večjo kvaliteto kakavovih zrn in zagotoviti njihovo prehrambeno varnost.
Portuguese Social-Democrat Vital Moreira, who is responsible for steering the agreement through Parliament, commented: "Child labour is not an isolated issue.
Odbor Parlamenta za mednarodno trgovino je sicer sporazumu že dal zeleno luč, potrditi pa ga morajo še poslanci na plenarnem zasedanju.
An adequate framework to address the root causes of child labour will therefore have to consider all of these issues."
Kdo izvaža, kdo uvaža?
Cocoa - a global affair
Kar 90 odstotkov kakava proizvede 5,5 milijona majhnih kmetij, delo pa proizvodnja kakava daje 14 milijonom ljudi.
Some 90% of world cocoa is cultivated by 5.5 million smallholders with the help of an additional 14 million rural workers.
70 odstotkov kakava prihaja iz Afrike, po 13 odstotkov pa ga proizvedejo kmetje iz Azije in Oceanije ter južne Amerike.
Outdated farming techniques are still widespread in cocoa cultivation.
Proizvodnja poteka po zastarelih metodah, večina pridelovalcev pa je revnih.
African countries account for about 70% of cocoa production while Latin America and Asia together with Oceania are each responsible for 13% of cocoa crops.
Evropska unija je največja porabnica kakavovih zrn na svetu, ki se znajdejo predvsem v čokoladi in drugih živilskih izdelkih.
The European chocolate industry, which processes cocoa and makes chocolate, is the largest one in the world.
Zahodna Afrika pokrije 80 odstotkov uvoza EU.
The EU imports more than 80% of its cocoa from West Africa.

Iceland is one of Europe’s oldest democracies and MEPs are pleased with its progress towards meeting EU standards.
Nekdanja jugoslovanska republika Makedonija, Bosna in Hercegovina ter Islandija
"Progress is visible," said rapporteur Cristian Dan Preda (EPP, RO) in the debate.
"Gre za državo, ki si zasluži vstop, zato bi se morala pogajanja začeti brez odlašanja," je poudaril poročevalec Richard Howwit (S&D, UK).
"This is a country which belongs inside the EU and accession talks must start without delay", said rapporteur Richard Howitt (S&D, UK).
Resolucija pozdravlja izvolitev novega parlamenta in hitro oblikovanje koalicijske vlade, hkrati pa je Parlament zelo zaskrbljen zaradi dejstva, da lastništvo medijev ostaja nepregledno in zelo skoncentrirano.
They welcome the election of the new parliament and swift formation of the coalition government but are worried about fundamental freedoms, pointing for example to media concentration.
Korupcija ostaja resen problem, vendar poslanci priznavajo napredek v boju proti temu pojavu, saj se je država v zadnjih petih letih po indeksu Transparency International za zaznavo korupcije povzpela za 40 mest.
Corruption is a "serious concern", says Parliament, though it is pleased with the efforts to tackle it.
Parlamentarci tudi pozivajo k okrepitvi prizadevanj za boj proti ločevanju med otroci iz različnih narodnostnih skupin v izobraževalnem sistemu in ugotavljajo, da so gospodarski rezultati države dobri, vendar brezposelnost in revščina še ostajata zelo visoki.
Parliament also wants greater efforts to combat the segregation of children from different ethnic groups in the education system.
Resolucija je bila sprejeta s 582 glasovi za, 70 proti in 34 vzdržanimi glasovi.
The country’s economic performance is good, it says, though unemployment and poverty levels remain high.
Bosna in Hercegovina Resolucija izraža zaskrbljenost zaradi omejenega napredka, ki ga je Bosna in Hercegovina dosegla kot možna država kandidatka za članstvo.
Bosnia and Herzegovina Parliament is concerned at the limited progress of BiH with the reforms needed for potential EU membership.
Čeprav je njena prihodnost v Evropski uniji, pa ima možnosti za to zgolj kot enotna in suverena država, ki bo izpolnila vse zahtevane pogoje.
It says its future lies in the EU but insists that it can only have a prospect of EU membership as a single, sovereign and united country, with the state powers needed to meet EU accession criteria.
Poslanci pozdravljajo oblikovanje nove vlade in izražajo upanje, da bo to spodbudilo nujne ustavne in druge reforme.
MEPs welcome the formation of the new state government, hoping that this will spur the necessary constitutional and other reforms.
Poročevalka Doris Pack (ELS, DE) je v razpravi dejala: "V šestih tednih se je v BiH zgodilo več, kot smo lahko pričakovali."
Rapporteur Doris Pack (EPP, DE) said: "In six weeks, more has happened than we could have expected in Bosnia and Herzegovina."
Zdaj, ko je EU okrepila svojo prisotnost v državi, se Parlamentu postavlja vprašanje o prihodnji vlogi mednarodne skupnosti, ki jo poziva, naj preuči, ali je treba ukiniti urad visokega predstavnika za BiH, ter najde rešitve, ki bi bile podlaga za to ukinitev.
Now that the EU has reinforced its presence in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Parliament wonders about the international community's future role.
"Napredek je viden in lani se je pokazalo, da razprava pridobiva zagon," je pred glasovanjem dejal poročevalec Cristian Dan Preda (ELS, RO).
It invites it "to consider the necessity of, and find solutions" to "pave the way for the dissolution of the Office of the High Representative (OHR)."
Konec trgovinske vojne zaradi govedine s hormoni
Win-win ending to the "hormone beef trade war"
Spor o hormonih v govedini se je začel leta 1988, ko je takratna Evropska gospodarska skupnost zaradi zaščite zdravja potrošnikov prepovedala uvoz govejega mesa in proizvodov iz govejega mesa, obdelanega z nekaterimi hormoni za pospeševanje rasti. ©Belga/Science Evropski poslanci so v sredo potrdili ugodnosti, ki jih bo EU ponudila ZDA in Kanadi in tako končala 20 let trajajoči trgovinski spor zaradi govedine rejene s hormoni.
Charolais cows EU concessions to help put an end to the 20-year hormone beef trade war with the USA and Canada were approved by MEPs on Wednesday.
Dogovor dovoljuje EU, da ohrani prepoved uvoza tovrstnega govejega mesa, v zameno pa bo zvišala kvote za uvoz visokokakovostne govedine iz Severne Amerike.
The deal allows the EU to keep its ban on imports of hormone-treated beef, in return for increasing its quota for imports of high-quality beef from the US and Canada.
Dogovor predvideva zvišanje letne kvote za uvoz visokokakovostnega govejega mesa v EU na 48.200 ton.
The deal would raise the EU's quality beef import quota to 48,200 tonnes.
ZDA in Kanada sta tudi že sprejeli odločitev o odpravi povračilnih ukrepov, ki sta jih leta 1999 uvedli kot odgovor na prepoved Unije.
The US and Canada, for their part, have already suspended duties, imposed in retaliation against the EU's hormone-treated beef ban, on previously "blacklisted" products originating in 26 EU Member States (all except the UK), worth over US $250 million at today's prices.
Dodatne dajatve so veljale za uvoz izdelkov iz 26 držav članic (razen Velike Britanije) v letni vrednosti okoli 250 milijonov ameriških dolarjev.
"This long-lasting trading dispute will end today.
"Konec je dolgoletnega trgovinskega spora.
This is a win-win resolution for the EU.
To je obojestranska zmaga, Parlament pa je s to potezo naredil korak, ki bo evropski živilski industriji omogočil dolgoročno načrtovanje in okrepil čezatlantske trgovinske vezi," je v torkovi večerni razpravi dejala poročevalka Godelieve Quisthoudt-Rowohl (ELS, DE).
Parliament has taken a step that will enable the EU agricultural industry to plan ahead again and that will strengthen transatlantic trade links," said rapporteur Godelieve Quisthoudt-Rowohl (EPP, DE).
Parlament sicer ni bistveno spreminjal prvotnega predloga Komisije.
Parliament made no substantive amendments to the text proposed by the European Commission.
Dogovor je bil tako v prvi obravnavi sprejet s 650 glasovi za, 11 proti in 11 vzdržanimi glasovi.
The deal, approved at the first reading with 650 votes in favour, 11 against and 11 abstentions, had already been informally backed by the Council.
Končno besedilo so neformalno že podprli tudi ministri držav članic, zato bo zvišanje kvote predvidoma začelo veljati avgusta 2012.
The increase in EU import quotas will take effect from August 2012.
Zgodovina trgovinskega spora
History of a trade war
Spor o hormonih v govedini se je začel leta 1988, ko je takratna Evropska gospodarska skupnost zaradi zaščite zdravja potrošnikov prepovedala uvoz govejega mesa in proizvodov iz govejega mesa, obdelanega z nekaterimi hormoni za pospeševanje rasti.
The beef hormone dispute has affected transatlantic trade relations since 1988 when the EU, concerned for the health of its citizens, banned imports of beef treated with certain growth-promoting hormones.
Leta 1996 so ZDA in Kanada ukrep izpodbijale v okviru mehanizma za reševanje sporov pri Svetovni trgovinski organizaciji in so lahko proti EU uvedle povračilne trgovinske ukrepe, ki so na leto znašali 116,8 milijonov ameriških in 11,3 milijonov kanadskih dolarjev.
In 1996, the US and Canada, which were worst affected by the ban, challenged it under the World Trade Organisation (WTO) dispute settlement system and were subsequently authorised to impose trade sanctions on EU produce worth respectively US $ 116.8 million and C $ 11.3 million a year.
Dajatve so prizadele evropski izvoz na severnoameriški trg in posledično zmanjšale tržni delež evropskih proizvajalcev.
These duties hampered EU exports and led to a loss of market share for EU producers.
Med proizvodi iz EU, ki so bili predmet dodatnih tarif, so bili izdelki iz govejega in svinjskega mesa, sir roquefort, čokolada, sadni sokovi, marmelade in sveži tartufi.
The EU products affected by the sanctions included bovine and swine meat products, Roquefort cheese, chocolate, juices, jams and fresh truffles.
Rešitev za obe strani
A win-win solution
Maja 2009 so Evropska komisija ter ameriška administracija in kanadska vlada dosegle dogovor o postopnem zmanjšanju severnoameriških trgovinskih sankcij za evropske izdelke in hkratnem zvišanju evropskih uvoznih kvot za visokokakovostno govedino brez hormonov iz ZDA in Kanade.
In May 2009, an agreement negotiated by the European Commission and the US government provided for a phased reduction in US sanctions on EU products and a gradual increase in the EU tariff quota for high-quality, hormone-free beef.
Na ameriški strani so dodatne tarife umaknili že maja 2011.
The US has already agreed to lift its sanctions against the EU products in May 2011.

Suspect A special parliamentary committee on organised crime, corruption and money laundering was created by Parliament on Wednesday.
Odbor ima enoletni mandat, da razišče razširjenost organiziranega kriminala, vključno z mafijskimi združbami, v finančnih sistemih, gospodarstvu in javni upravi ter pripravi predloge za boj proti temu pojavu.
It has a year to investigate infiltration of the EU's legal economy, public administration and financial systems by organised crime, including mafias, and propose ways to fight it.
Nezakonito prisvajanje javnega denarja, prisotnost kriminalnih dejavnikov v javnem sektorju in razpredenost v gospodarstvu ter finančnem sistemu so nekatere od nevarnosti, ki jih prinaša organizirani kriminal v EU.
Misappropriation of public funds, infiltration of the public sector, and contamination of the legal economy and financial system are some of the key threats posed by criminal organisations in the EU.
"Ustanovitev protimafijskega odbora v Evropskem parlamentu je prelomna točka v zgodovini evropskih politik.
"The establishment of the anti-mafia committee at the European Parliament represents a real turning point in the history of European Union policies.

From prevention to treatment: EP calls for an EU-wide strategy for diabetes
Zaradi staranja prebivalstva bo diabetes v EU vse pogostejši
Diabetes ©Belga/Science A drop of blood suffices for the diagnosis, but many people are still unaware they have diabetes.
Diabetes ©Belga/Science Diabetes je eden izmed glavnih vzrokov srčnih in drugih resnih bolezni, za njim pa trpi 32 milijonov Evropejcev.
It is the leading cause of heart attacks and other serious illnesses and affects 32 million Europeans between the ages of 20-79.
V EU z diabetesom živi okoli 10 odstotkov prebivalstva, ta delež pa bi se lahko do leta 2030 povečal na 16,6 odstotka.
This number is expected to grow due to an ageing European population.
Kar polovica obolelih ne ve, da ima to bolezen.
To improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment, the EP is calling for an EU-wide diabetes strategy.
