"Ljudski upor je bil na eni strani posledica razvoja egiptovskih elit, na drugi pa težav, ki jih je prinesla gospodarska kriza," je dejal poslanec.
On the situation in the country, Mr Füle said "we have taken good note of the commitments to revise the Constitution and to hold parliamentary and presidential elections, to honour international treaties and obligations and to limit the military role for 6 months".
Če EU ne bo takoj priskočila na pomoč pri reševanju gospodarskih težav, potem se lahko revolucija izteče najprej v anarhijo, nato pa v naslednjo diktaturo, je še posvaril Severin.
He added that even though "it is not for us to dictate outcomes or propose solutions", the EU "will closely watch the steps that will be taken", hoping that "they will pave the way towards democratic, free and fair elections".
Po mnenju belgijskega poslanca Guya Verhofstadta (ALDE) ima Evropska komisija verodostojen načrt za soočanje s položajem v Egiptu in Tuniziji, je pa poslanec pogrešal jasen signal EU Egiptu, da bi morale biti v postopke spreminjanja egiptovske ustave vključene tudi sekularne stranke.
For the centre right European People's Party Spanish MEP José Ignacio Salafranca said: "The departures of Mubarak and Ben Ali are necessary conditions, but are not enough to guarantee the democratic transition process, a process that still presents many uncertainties, the most important being consolidating democracy".
Ashtonova bi morala po njegovem mnenju posredovati jasno sporočilo o dogodkih v Jemnu, Alžiriji, Iranu, Libiji in Maroku ter ne samo čakati na to, da se stvari zgodijo.
The popular revolt was, on the one hand, the result of the evolution of Egyptian elites and, on the other hand, a consequence of the hardship caused by the global crisis.
"V Egiptu in Tuniziji lahko opazujemo demokratični cunami.
If the EU does not address immediately the need to overcome hardship in Egypt, the revolution might move to anarchy and from there onto another dictatorship."
Kaj naredimo po cunamiju?
Leader of the Liberals Guy Verhofstadt told the House: "The Commission has to come forward with a credible global plan for Tunisia and Egypt" although he pointed out that the EU must also send a message to Egypt on the lack of involvement of the secular parties in the efforts to redraft the Constitution.
Uporabimo izredna finančna sredstva in priskočimo na pomoč prebivalstvu," pa je dejal vodja politične skupine Zelenih v Evropskem parlamentu Daniel Cohn-Bendit .
He concluded by saying that "what we need now is a bold message by High Representative Catherine Ashton on what is happening in Yemen, Algeria, Iran, Libya and Morocco without waiting for "things to happen".
Razlog za upora v teh dveh državah je bila po njegovem mnenju predvsem lakota.
French Green MEP Daniel Cohn-Bendit told the House that "we have today in Egypt and Tunisia a Democratic tsunami".
"Če težkega položaja ljudi ne bomo olajšali, potem tvegamo, da bo del upornikov pristal na strani fundamentalistov," je opozoril poslanec.
He went on to say "we must mobilize special funds to help people in Tunisia and Egypt now because the reasons for the revolt were first hunger, misery and that if in the transition to democracy there is no relief from poverty there is a risk the rebels may move to the side of fundamentalists".
Britanec Charles Tannock (ECR) je poudaril predvsem pomen spoštovanja mirovnega sporazuma z Izraelom.
British MEP Charles Tannock (ECR) underlined the importance of the Camp David Accords to Israel's security.
"EU bi morala svojo pomoč pogojevati s spoštovanjem sporazuma iz Camp Davida," je menil Tannock in dodal, da bi morale politične stranke iz EU v Egiptu pomagati ustanoviti sestrske stranke.
He pointed out that the "EU should make its help conditional on preserving peace treaty" and ensure adequate financial aid while "EU political parties must help set up secular sister parties in Egypt".
Willy Meyer (GUE/NGL) je opozoril, da ima EU zelo resne težave s svojo sosedsko politiko.
Willy Meyer of the GUE/NGL group stated: "The EU has a very serious problem with its neighbourhood policy.
Italijanski poslanec Fiorello Provera (EFD) je dejal, da Mubarakov padec ne odpira le poti demokraciji, ampak predstavlja tudi priložnost za egiptovsko ljudstvo, da si da duška.
Italian MEP Fiorello Provera (EFD) said: "The fall of Mubarak opens the way not only to democracy, but an opportunity for the Egyptian people.
"Volitve, če bodo organizirane, bodo omogočile gospodarski razvoj," je dejal poslanec in dodal, da mora EU pomagati Egipčanom pri odločanju o tem, kakšna bo njihova prihodnost.
These elections, if they are held, will allow economic development.
Andreas Mölzer iz Avstrije pa je menil, da bi se morala EU poleg demokratizaciji in človekim pravicam posvetiti tudi nezakonitemu priseljevanju in položaju v drugih arabskih državah.
The European policy in Egypt must be followed by reforms and must help people to choose their future for themselves".

Majhna in srednje velika podjetja rabijo boljši dostop do finančnih sredstev

Nepripravljenost bank za kreditiranje majhnih podjetij lahko pripelje do njihovega propada, čeprav imajo dovolj naročil. ©BELGA_TOPFOTO Gospodarska kriza je močno ohladila pripravljenost bank za kreditiranje gospodarstva.
England. ©BELGA Resolution calls on banks to make finance available Economic crisis has made situation more critical Banks and EU programmes should provide more support for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) according to a resolution backed by MEPs Wednesday.
To občutijo predvsem majhna in srednje velika podjetja, torej tista z manj kot 250 zaposlenimi, ki so hrbtenica evropskega gospodarstva.
The cross-party motion identifies problems in accessing finance as one of the most pressing facing Europe's businesses with less than 250 employees.
Majhna in srednja podjetja predstavljajo 99 odstotkov vseh podjetij v EU, zaposlujejo pa okoli 100 milijonov ljudi.
German Green Reinhard Bütikofer said, "Banks have become much more risk-averse and require higher guarantees.
Vendar pa vsaj za banke ta podjetja niso tako zelo pomembna, kar se kaže tudi v pripravljenosti kreditirati njihova vlaganja.
This is creating difficulties across all SMEs sectors, but in particular for innovative enterprises."
Kriza udarila po financah
As a result, several companies have gone bankrupt due to a lack of liquidity even though their order book was full.
Med državami sicer obstajajo pomembne razlike.
The resolution says that credit and loan guarantee schemes remain crucial for growth of SMEs.
"V tistih državah, kjer so majhna in srednja podjetja odvisna od velikih komercialnih bank, npr. v Veliki Britaniji in Belgiji, so težave večje kot pa tam, kjer obstajajo delujoče hranilnice in kooperativne banke," pojasnjuje avstrijski poslanec Othmar Karas (EPP) , pobudnik omenjene resolucije.
Hungarian Socialist Edit Herczog told us, "regulations related to the bank sector should...not preclude the free movement of credit to entrepreneurs and the banks shouldn't look at small businesses as a source of risk but a source of opportunity."
Gospodarska kriza je položaj še poslabšala.
MEPs called for more funds, especially innovative financial instruments.
"Banke se bolj bojijo tveganj, zahtevajo več jamstev," pravi poslanec nemških Zelenih Reinhard Bütikofer in dodaja, da je to težava predvsem za inovativna podjetja.
Ms Herczog said , "less than the 2% of SMEs benefit from EU-financed program...but a much higher percentage of enterprises is now seeking European solutions."
Nekaj jih je zaradi pomanjkanja finančnih sredstev celo bankrotiralo, čeprav so imela dovolj naročil.
Bureaucracy is another issue.
"Pravila za bančni sektor bi morala biti oblikovana tako, da ne bi ovirala prostega toka kredita podjetnikom," meni madžarska poslanka Edit Herczog (S&D) in poudarja, da bi morali banke prepričati, naj na majhna in srednja podjetja gledajo kot na vir priložnosti in ne tveganj.
Mr Bütikofer said action needs to be taken on several fronts: " On the one hand, existing guarantee instruments under EU financing programmes and risk-sharing schemes should be enhanced for easier SME access.
"Z evropskimi programi si lahko ta trenutek pomaga manj kot dva odstotka majhnih in srednjih podjetji, 98 odstotkov pa kredita ne more dobiti," je kritična poslanka, ki se zavzema tudi za odpravo administrativnih ovir, s katerimi se soočajo srednja in majhna podjetja že pri majhnih posojilih.
On the other, raising more equity and quasi-equity financing is essential for supporting start-ups and small innovative companies."
Poslanec Bütikofer se strinja s tem, da bi morali obstoječe jamstvene sheme in sheme za razpršitev tveganj bolje prilagoditi potrebam majhnih in srednjih podjetji, vendar opozarja, da bančno financiranje ni edina možnost.
The Parliament has an all-party SME intergroup, chaired by Othmar Karas.
"Pridobivanje lastniškega in podobnega kapitala je bistveno za ustanavljanje novih podjetij in poslovanje majhnih inovativnih podjetij," pravi poslanec.
"The SME intergroup sees itself as an advocate for the concerns of small and medium sized-enterprises," he said.
Predsednik medskupine je poslanec Karas.

Zaščitna klavzula v sporazumu bo ščitila evropske proizvajalce. ©BELGA_AFP_HO_GM DAEWOO Poslanci so v četrtek s 465 glasovi potrdili sporazum o prosti trgovini med Evropsko unijo in Južno Korejo, ki odpravlja večino carinskih dajatev na obeh straneh.
The EU's long-awaited free trade agreement (FTA) with South Korea - its 8th largest trading partner - will eliminate about 98% of import duties and other trade barriers in manufactured goods, agricultural products and services over the next 5 years.
Gre za najbolj ambiciozen dvostranski trgovinski dogovor doslej, pri čemer so nekatera evropska podjetja opozarjala pred možnostjo, da korejski izdelki preplavijo evropski trg.
The most comprehensive trade deal until now by the EU is expected to double its trade with Korea in 20 years, boosting jobs and growth.
Parlament je s 496 glasovi za podprl tudi o zaščitno klavzulo, ki bo EU omogočila, da v primeru skokovitega porasta uvoza iz Južne Koreje uvede zaščitne ukrepe.
Following carmakers' fears over imports of cheap cars, the FTA includes safeguard measures.
Razprava o sporazumu in zaščitni klavzuli je potekala v sredo, sporazum pa bo po pričakovanjih stopil v veljavo julija 2011.
They will allow the EU to suspend further reductions in customs duties or increase them to previous levels, if lower rates lead to an excessive increase in imports from South Korea, causing or threatening to cause "serious injury" to EU producers.
Proti sporazumu je glasovalo 128 poslancev, 19 se jih je vzdržalo.
"The EU needs to send a clear signal, now more than ever, that it is open for business.
Kaj se obeta?
The swift adoption of this agreement will send out a positive signal that we are not reverting to protectionism in response to the economic environment", as Parliament's rapporteur on the FTA Robert Sturdy (ECR, UK) underlined.
Južna Koreja je osma največja trgovinska partnerica EU.
The British Member hopes that the passage of this FTA will enable the EU to complete other crucial trade agreements with emergent economies, such as India.
Prostotrgovinski sporazum naj bi letni obseg trgovine z izdelki in storitvami med obema povečal za 19,1 milijarde evrov, pri čemer bo odprava kar 98 odstotkov carinskih dajatev in drugih ovir v obdobju naslednjih petih let evropskim izvoznikom prihranila 1,6 milijarde evrov letno.
"The EU must not give up on achieving a multilateral deal through the WTO but, in the meantime, we should seek as much bilateral opening of trade as possible" he pointed out.
Zaščitna klavzula
Why a safeguard clause?
Odprava carinskih dajatev, ki jo predvideva sporazum, je prestrašila predvsem evropske proizvajalce avtomobilov, ki so se zbali korejske konkurence.
"We wanted to reach three objectives: First, to create a safeguard clause which would be easy to apply.
"Nekateri so bili zaradi tega sporazuma zelo zaskrbljeni, ampak zaradi robustne zaščitne klavzule smo lahko pomirjeni, saj bodo naša podjetja lahko uživala v brezštevilnih priložnostih, negativni učinki pa bodo omejeni," je ob tem dejal poročevalec o sporazumu, britanski poslanec Robert Sturdy (ECR).
We have put special protection measures for the most sensible sectors: consumer electronics, textile products and specially the European automotive industry", explained Mr Zalba.
Zaščitna klavzula sicer pokriva vse izdelke.
Korea enjoys a comparative advantage over the EU in these sectors.
"Nismo se odpovedali pogajanjem v okviru WTO, ampak v vmesnem času moramo dvostransko trgovino odpreti, kolikor je mogoče," poudarja poslanec.
Provided that MEPs adopt the regulation and grant the consent, the deal will come into force in July 2011.

Egypt: back democratic transition and freeze Egyptian leaders' assets, say MEPs
Tudi po odstopu Mubaraka je pred Egipčani še veliko težkih izzivov. ©BELGA/UPI/eyevine Odziv evropskih poslancev na vrtoglave spremembe v Egiptu je resolucija, ki so jos prejeli v četrtek, s katero pozivajo EU, naj vnovič preuči in izboljša svojo politično ter finančno strategijo za pomoč državi pri demokratičnemu prehodu, vključno z organizacijo svobodnih volitev.
Reacting to the dizzying changes in Egypt, MEPs passed a resolution calling on the EU to rethink and improve its political and financial strategy to assist the country’s transition to democracy, including organising free elections.
Prav tako zahtevajo zamrznitev finančnih sredstev vseh tistih egiptovskih voditeljev, ki veljajo za odgovorne za nezakonito prisvojitev državnih sredstev.
They also call for a freeze on the assets of all Egyptian leaders responsible for misappropriating public funds in the country .
Z odstopom predsednika Hosnija Mubaraka se je začela nova faza politične tranzicije v Egiptu, kjer morajo oboroženih sile zdaj odigrati konstruktivno vlogo pri spodbujanju političnega procesa, organiziranju svobodnih volitev in spoštovanju mirovnega sporazuma z Izraelom.
President Hosni Mubarak's departure “has opened a new phase in the political transition in Egypt” and the Egyptian armed forces must now play a constructive role, facilitating the political process, ensuring free elections and keeping to its peace commitments with Israel.
Vloga EU pri pomoči Egiptu
EU role in assisting Egypt
Poslanci priznavajo, da je želja po stabilnosti v zadnjih letih pogosto zasenčila vrednote demokracije, družbene pravičnosti in človekovih pravic v odnosih EU ter njenih držav članic z sosedami na jugu Sredozemlja.
In the past, the goal of stability has often overshadowed values of democracy, social justice and human rights in the EU’s relations with its southern neighbours, acknowledge MEPs .
Parlament zato ponavlja zahtevo, da bi morale biti določbe o človekovih pravicah v pridružitvenih sporazumih sistematično podprte z mehanizmom za njihovo izvajanje, torej tudi z možnostjo prekinitve izvajanja sporazuma v primeru hudih kršitev.
They therefore wish to ensure that the clause allowing the EU to suspend any association agreement with a third country in the event of serious human rights violations can be implemented effectively in future .
Resolucija ponovno zahteva, naj Evropska unija pregleda svojo politiko za podporo demokraciji in človekovim in kot prednostna merila postavi neodvisnost sodstva, spoštovanje temeljnih pravic, pluralizem in svobodo tiska ter boj proti korupciji.
If there is any lesson to learn from the revolution in Egypt, it is that the EU’s existing policies towards southern Mediterranean countries have failed, note MEPs, who advocate revising the EU's European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP), so as to prioritise goals such as fostering the independence of the judiciary, combating corruption or ensuring that bilateral agreements give precedence to basic freedoms over economic aims.
Svet bi moral tudi opredeliti politična merila, ki jih morajo države evropske sosedske politike izpolnjevati, da se jim dodeli naprednejši status.
Furthermore, ENP countries must fulfil a list of political criteria in order to obtain the so-called “advanced status” in their relations with the EU, says the resolution .
Parlament se je zavzel za aktiviranje in okrepitev vseh finančnih instrumentov EU za zunanje delovanje v tej regiji, kot so evropski instrument sosedstva in partnerstva, evropska pobuda za demokracijo in človekove pravice in instrument stabilnosti.
MEPs also favour mobilising all EU financial instruments, such as the ENP Instrument, the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights and the Stability Instrument, to assist Egypt’s transition to democracy .
Kritika Unije za Sredozemlje
Union for the Mediterranean criticized
Tako Unijo kot tudi evro-sredozemsko fundacijo Anne Lindh pa poslanci pozivajo, naj vztrajno in dejavno deluje pri mobilizaciji civilne družbe v evro-sredozemski regiji ter za spodbujanje državljanstva in sodelovanja.
Both the UfM and the Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Foundation are urged to react to these historic circumstances, mobilize civil society and play a more active role in promoting democracy and human rights in the region .
Milijarda evrov za mala in srednja podjetja v sredozemski regiji
€ 1 billion for SMEs in the Mediterranean basin
Parlament je v ločeni resoluciji v četrtek podprl predlog za povečanje garancij Evropske investicijske banke za projekte izven EU za dodatno milijardo evrov.
Voting on separate legislation on Thursday, Parliament also decided to increase by € 1 billion the overall amount of guarantees to the European Investment Bank for loans to projects outside the EU.
Garancije naj bi bile namenjene predvsem za posojila malim in srednjim podjetjem ter infrastrukturnim projektom v Sredozemlju.
The whole of the increase should be used to back loans for small and medium sized enterprises and infrastructure in the Mediterranean basin.
Konferenca predsednikov je v četrtek sprejela odločitev, da bo v prihodnjih tednih v Egipt napotila delegacijo evropskih poslancev.
Also on Thursday, Parliament's Conference of Presidents approved sending a delegation of MEPs to Egypt in the coming weeks.

Črna gora: poslanci podpirajo pristopne pogovore in so zaskrbljeni zaradi korupcije
Montenegro: MEPs favour EU accession talks, but worry about corruption
Odbor za zunanje zadeve je v četrtek pozdravil odločitev Evropskega sveta, da Črni gori podeli status države kandidatke.
The European Council’s decision to grant Montenegro EU candidate country status was welcomed by the Foreign Affairs Committee on Thursday.
Poslanci upajo, da bi se lahko pristopna pogajanja s začela najkasneje po naslednjem poročilu Komisije o napredku, torej še letos.
MEPs hoped that accession talks with Montenegro could begin, at the latest, after the Commission's next progress report on it, in 2011.
Hkrati izražajo zaskrbljenost glede korupcije, organiziranega kriminala, diskriminacije in oviranja svobode medijev.
However, they also voiced concerns, particularly about corruption, organized crime, discrimination and curbs on media freedom in Montenegro.
V resoluciji, ki jo je odbor potrdil z veliko večino ( 62 glasov za, 3 proti, 3 vzdržani ), poslanci pozdravljajo "soglasje in visoko prednost, ki jo procesu vključevanja namenjajo vladne in opozicijske stranke", še posebej pa vzpostavitev pravnega in ustavnega okvira države ter "dobre rezultate, ki jih je država dosegla pri izvajanju gospodarskih reform".
In a draft resolution approved by a large majority (62 votes in favour, 3 against, 3 abstentions) today, the Committee welcomed the "general consensus and high priority given to European integration by the government", particularly the work done on finalising Montenegro's legal and constitutional framework and its "good track record in implementing economic reforms."
Korupcija in organizirani kriminal
Concerns remain about corruption and organised crime
Dokument pozdravlja napredek Črne gore pri sprejemanju pomembne zakonodaje na področju boja proti korupciji, vendar poudarja, da je korupcija še vedno preveč razširjena, zlasti v gradbenem sektorju, na področju privatizacije ter v sektorju javnih naročil.
While welcoming Montenegro's progress in passing important legislation to fight corruption, the draft resolution underlines that "corruption is still prevalent in many areas, especially in the construction, privatisation and public procurements sector."
Vlada bi morala zato okrepiti preiskave in pregon teh primerov ter spremeniti zakonodajo o financiranju političnih strank in volilnih kampanj.
It therefore urges the government to improve the track record of investigations and prosecutions, and to change the legislative framework for financing political parties and electoral campaigns.
