V prihodnosti bi se označevanje države izvora lahko razširilo tudi na druge vrste hrane (npr. meso kot sestavina, mleko ali nepredelana hrana), vendar bo morala Komisija pred tem izvesti presojo vplivov, da oceni izvedljivost in možne stroške takih zahtev.
Country of origin labelling could in future be extended to other categories of food (such as meat when used as an ingredient, milk or unprocessed foods) but the Commission must first do impact assessments to weigh up the feasibility and potential costs of doing this.
Brez zavajanja potrošnikov
Shoppers must not be misled
Nova pravila bodo naj bi tudi zagotovila, da se z opisom ali slikovnim prikazom ne zavaja potrošnikov.
The new rules will also ensure that consumers are not misled by the appearance, description or pictorial presentation of food packaging.
Začetek veljavnosti
When will the new rules apply?
Po objavi zakonodaje v Uradnem listu EU se bodo morala živilska podjetja prilagoditi novim pravilom v treh letih, še dodatni dve leti pa bodo imela na voljo za uvedbo oznak hranilne vrednosti.
Parliament approved the new food labelling rules by 606 votes to 46, with 26 abstentions.
Gensko spremenjeni organizmi: prepoved gojenja v rokah držav članic
GMOs: Parliament backs national right to cultivation bans
Osnutek sprememb sedaj veljavne zakonodaje so poslanci sprejeli s 548 glasovi za, 84 proti in 31 vzdržanimi glasovi, zdaj pa je na potezi Svetu EU.
The draft amendment to existing legislation - adopted with 548 votes in favour, 84 against and 31 abstentions - will now go to the Council for further discussion.
Poročevalka Corinne Lepage (ALDE, FR) je v razpravi dejala: "Zadovoljna sem, ker je Parlament dosegel soglasje glede gensko spremenjenih organizmov, ki buri javnost že dolga leta.
Parliament’s rapporteur Corinne Lepage (ALDE, FR) commented: “I am pleased that the Parliament has reached an agreement on the difficult issue of GMOs, which has been an issue of public concern for years.
Če bo Svet oblikoval skupno stališče, bo ta uravnotežene zakonodaja državam in regijam omogočala, da ne gojijo teh rastlin, če bo to njihova želja."
If the Council manages to find a common position, this balanced agreement will allow countries and regions the right to not grow GMOs if they so choose.”
Razlogi za prepoved
Grounds to ban
Komisija je prvotno predlagala, da bi države članice EU prepoved gojenja gensko spremenjenih organizmov (GSO) lahko utemeljile na razlogih, ki niso povezani z zdravjem ali varovanjem okolja.
The Commission had proposed to grant EU Member States the right to ban crops on all but health or environmental grounds, which were to be solely assessed by the European Food Safety Authority.
Med drugim lahko zajemajo preprečevanje razvijanja odpornosti na pesticide, ohranjanje lokalne biotske raznovrstnosti ali pomanjkanje ustreznih podatkov o morebitnih negativnih vplivih na okolje.
These could include pesticide resistance, biodiversity preservation or a lack of data on potential negative consequences to the environment.
Upravičeni razlogi so lahko tudi socialno-ekonomski vplivi - primeri, kjer tveganja okužbe običajnih ali biološko pridelanih rastlin na omejenih območjih (majhni otoki, gorska območja) ob stiku z gensko spremenjenimi organizmi praktično ne bi mogoče preprečiti.
Parliament also considered that socioeconomic impacts could provide legitimate grounds for a ban, e.g. where contamination risks to conventional or organic agriculture cannot practicably be managed.
Stroški okužb
The cost of contamination
Poslanci vztrajajo, da morajo države storiti vse za preprečitev nenamerne okužbe z GSO in zagotoviti vzpostaviti sistem za finančno odgovornost, ki bo zagotovil, da bo morebitni onesnaževalec plačal za povzročeno škodo.
MEPs say all Member States must take measures to prevent contamination of conventional or organic farming by GM crops, and ensure those responsible for such incidents can be held financially liable.
Strožji varnostni pregledi
Updating EU safety checks
Ocena tveganja in dovoljenje za pridelavo izdano na evropski ravni ostajata predpogoja za gojenje GSO.
An EU-level safety check and authorisation will continue to be a precondition to a green light for growing GMOs.
Spremembe zakonodaje se tega ne tičejo, poslanci pa Komisijo opozarjajo, da mora posodobiti smernice za postopek odobritve.
While the proposal does not affect this process, MEPs reminded the Commission that the guidelines need updating.
Avstrija, Francija, Grčija, Luksemburg, Nemčija in Madžarska pa so že v sedaj veljavni direktivi iz leta 2001 uporabile varnostno klavzulo, ki jim omogoča izrecno prepoved pridelave določenih GSO.
Austria, France, Greece, Hungary, Germany and Luxembourg have activated a "safeguard clause" in the current (2001) EU Directive to expressly prohibit cultivation of certain GMOs.

EU countries reject EP call for labelling of clone-derived food
Vprašanja o različnih temah, povezanih s hrano, so lahko tokrat poleg novinarjev postavljali tudi naši bralci.
EuroparlTV Meat from the offspring of cloned animals could find its way onto the EU market, with no-one being any the wiser, after member state representatives refused the Parliament's demand to label clone-derived products.
Odbor za kmetijstvo je poudaril, da mora za evropske proizvajalce hrane postati lažje pridobiti oznake kvalitete, če želijo uspešno tekmovati s konkurenco izven EU.
The two sides met until late Monday night to discuss updating novel food rules, but were unable to reach agreement on clone-derived food and nanotechnology.
Čas je, da se Evropska komisija odzove na zahteve po zmanjšanju časa, potrebnega za registracijo iz sedanjih 12 na šest mesecev, opozarjajo poslanci in dodajajo, da bodo lahko tako evropski kmetje in živilci bolje zaščitili in tržili svoje izdelke.
The first animal clone, Dolly the sheep, was created in 1996 and since then cows, pigs and goats have also been cloned, raising the question of whether or not we should use cloned animals for food.
Med njimi sta npr. italijanski sir mocarela in ardenska salama, ki so ju kuharji v Parlamentu uporabili za pripravo nekaterih jedi.
The EP had wanted bans on the sale of meat from cloned animals and their offspring and the use of cloning technology to produce food.
Oznake za hrano
EP had proposed compromise to label food from clone offspring
Poslanci, ki se ukvarjajo z oznakami za hrano, so odgovarjali tudi na vprašanja sodelujočih v socialnih omrežjih Facebook in Twitter, pri čemer so slednje najbolj zanimali varnost hrane in jasne informacije na embalaži živil.
The Council and Commission backed a ban on cloning for food production, but rejected a ban on food from offspring, leading MEPs to propose a compromise of labelling clone-derived meat.
Britanski konservativec Struan Stevenson je ob tem pripomnil, da bi nekateri poslanci na oznake radi stlačili preveč informacij, tako da bi lahko bile oznake tako dolge kot roman Vojna in mir.
Council agreed only to label fresh beef, which MEPs found insufficient given that a 2008 Eurobarometer study shows 63% of EU citizens are unlikely to buy food from cloned animals, while 61% find animal cloning morally wrong.
Poslanki Glenis Willmott (S&D, UK) in Renate Sommer (EPP, DE) sta se strinjali, da bi se morali že od mladih nog učiti o tem, kaj nam sporočajo oznake na hrani, ne sme pa se pozabiti tudi na starejše potrošnike.
"It is deeply frustrating that the Council would not listen to public opinion," the Chair of the EP delegation to the Conciliation Committee talks, Gianni Pittella, and the EP rapporteur on novel foods, Kartika Liotard, said in a joint statement.
V zvezi z oporečno hrano, ki bi se utegnila pojaviti na evropskem trgu, pa je poslanec Schlyter pojasnil, da ima EU vzpostavljen sistem za hitro obveščanje.
"Measures regarding clone offspring are absolutely critical because clones are commercially viable only for breeding, not directly for food production.
"Ko katera izmed držav zazna nevarnost, mora takoj opozoriti druge," je dejal.
No farmer would spend €100,000 on a cloned bull, only to turn it into hamburgers."

1997 rules on novel foods remain in place
Poslanci bodo v torek, 5. julija, glasovali o poročilu, ki državam EU daje možnost, da prepovedo ali omejijo uporabo gensko spremenjenih organizmov (GSO) na svojem ozemlju, če za to navedejo okoljske vzroke.
Currently, there are no EU rules specifically allowing or banning dairy products and meat from cloned animals.
S tem želi Parlament državam, ki ne želijo prisotnosti GSO, dati trdno, pravno podlago, s pomočjo katere bodo lažje upravičile svoje ukrepe pred tistimi državami, ki se jim zdi prepoved neupravičena, poudarja poročevalka o tem vprašanju, francoska poslanka Corinne Lepage (ALDE).
The European Commission and Council wanted to regulate the products under the novel foods rules, while MEPs wanted them to be dealt with separately.
"Poročilo želi državam članicam dati več svobode.
The failure of conciliation talks between the EP and Council mean that the 1997 novel food rules remain in force.
Imamo uravnoteženo poročilo, ki odseva želje in skrbi različnih strani," je ob sprejetju poročila v odboru Parlamenta za okolje pred nekaj tedni dejala Lepageova.
Foods are considered "novel" if they are derived from new technological processes or if they have no significant history of consumption in the EU.
"Treba se je zavedati, da lahko države kot vzrok za prepoved oziroma omejitev gojenja genetsko spremenjenih rastlin uporabijo možnost okužbe z GSO in njen vpliv na kmetijstvo in okolje," je takrat dejala poslanka.
The rules require authorisation for the sale of food from cloned animals, but not its offspring or descendants .
V EU so sicer nekateri GSO že dovoljeni: bombaž, pšenica, bakterijski proteini, nekatere vrste kvasa, soja in sladkorna pesa.
They also wanted food containing nano ingredients to be labelled.
Avstrija, Francija, Grčija, Madžarska, Nemčija in Luksemburg so pridelavo GSO na svojem ozemlju prepovedale, pri čemer se lahko oprejo tudi na evropsko javno mnenje.
The failure to reach agreement on the new rules means "there will continue to be no special measures regarding nano materials in food," the EP statement said.
Kar 61 odstotkov Evropejcev se v zvezi z GSO počuti nelagodno, 21 odstotkov jih meni, da so GSO varni, 53 odstotkov pa je prepričanih, da so lahko škodljivi.
This is only the second time that the EP and Council have failed to settle their differences about legislation in the Conciliation Committee (the first time was over the working time directive).
Drugače je s tem v ZDA, kjer je kar 93 odstotkov vse soje in 86 odstotkov pšenice genetsko spremenjene.

Zaradi zdravstvenih razlogov prepoved ne bo možna
What's cooking in the Parliament: Food Day
Države bodo sicer lahko gojenje GSO prepovedale le na podlagi prehranskih in kmetijskih argumentov, npr. zaradi povečane odpornosti rastlin na pesticide in grožnje biotski raznovrstnosti, ne bo pa to mogoče na podlagi argumentov, povezanih z vplivom GSO na zdravje.
Food labelling, GMOs on July plenary agenda ©Belga/PHOTOPQR/J.Frey It was a real food day in Parliament 21 June: the Agriculture Committee approved a report on food quality, regional food was being promoted and MEPs discussed the forthcoming July plenary votes on food labelling and GMOs during a seminar.
Pravila, ki urejajo neodvisne ocene tveganj, ki bi jih lahko predstavljali GSO, ostajajo nespremenjena.
For the first time during a press event, MEPs fielded questions not just from journalists but also from our readers on Faceboook and Twitter.
Evropejci GSO ne zaupajo
What was on the plate during food day?
gensko spremenjeni bombaž, koruza, bakterijske beljakovine, kvasovke, oljčna repica, krompir, soja so v EU dovoljeni za uživanje
The Agriculture Committee voted to make quality labels easier for producers to register to help the EU compete with third countries.
za gojenje sta v EU avtorizirani le dve gensko spremenjeni rastlini: ena vrsta krompirja in ena vrsta koruze
In an effort to streamline the process, the European Commission must respond to a request for registration within 6 months.
GSO so najbolj razširjeni v ZDA: 93 odstotkov soje in 86 odstotkov koruze je gensko spremenjene
In addition food producer groups will be better able to protect and promote proprietary products.
Odbor: Informacije o živilih naj na embalaži ne bodo v drobnem tisku
The report should come to the plenary at the end of September.
Kakšne sestavine so v živilih?
Food labelling
Vsebuje hrana, ki jo kupujemo v trgovinah, za zdravje škodljive snovi, kot so različni alergeni in trans maščobe?
During a seminar on food labelling, MEPs answered questions from our Facebook fans and Twitter followers.
Člani odbora Parlamenta za okolje menijo, da bi morali potrošniki imeti možnost odgovore na ta vprašanja že v trenutku, ko se odločajo o nakupu.
Our readers were mostly concerned about food safety and clear labelling .
Zato mora biti embalaža živil opremljena z enostavnimi in jasno vidnimi informacijami, poudarjajo poslanci.
Ania asked how an ideal label would look.
Za govedino to pomeni, da bi morale biti potrošnikom na voljo informacije o tem, kje se je govedo skotilo, kje so ga vzredili in kje zaklali, četudi se je to zgodilo v treh različnih državah.
However, British Conservative Struan Stevenson thinks some MEPs want too much information and he simply want them to be clear and straightforward.
Države EU se sicer tej zahtevi Parlamenta upirajo, prav tako niso naklonjene možnosti, da bi morale biti nekatere informacije obvezno vidne na sprednji strani embalaže.
In answer to a question from Izabela about learning to read labels, British Socialist Glenis Willmott said education has to start early, in school.
Na zadnji strani bi morale po mnenju poslancev v vsakem primeru biti informacije o maščobah, nasičenih maščobah, sladkorju, soli, beljakovinah, ogljikovih hidratih, trans maščobah in energetski vrednosti.
German Christian Democrat Renate Sommer said we should also ensure the elderly are educated in how to read labels.
Izjeme poslanci dopuščajo pri alkoholnih pijačah, darilnih embalažah, hrani za takojšnje zaužitje in tradicionalni hrani majhnih proizvajalcev.
On the threat from imported food , for example from China or the US, Mr Schlyter noted that the EU has an early warning system.
Poslanci bodo pogajanja o s Svetom EU in Komisijo o zgornjih predlogih začeli maja, julija pa bo o njih na plenarnem zasedanju glasoval še Evropski parlament.
"When one country discovers something dangerous in imported food it has to inform others".

Evropski parlament lani prejel 1655 peticij državljanov
EP received 1655 citizens' petitions in 2010
Pisci peticij, individualnih ali skupinskih, so v letu 2010 opozarjali poslance predvsem na nespoštovanje okoljske zakonodaje in težave pri priznavanju poklicnih kvalifikacij.
Environment, fundamental rights attract most attention The environment and fundamental rights continued to be of most concern to EU citizens petitioning the Parliament in 2010, according to the Petitions Committee's annual report, drafted by Spainish MEP Willy Meyer of the GUE/NGL group.
Okolje in spoštovanje temeljnih državljanskih pravic so tisto, kar najbolj skrbi državljane Evropske unije, vsaj če sodimo po deležu, ki ju omenjeni vprašanji zavzemata med 1655 peticijami, ki so prišle na naslov Evropskega parlamenta v letu 2010.
EU citizens are increasingly turning to electronic petitioning, with 63% opting for an online application rather than mailing a petition.
Kot je še pokazalo poročilo španskega poslanca Willyja Meyerja (GUE/NGL), peticije vse bolj prihajajo preko spleta: na ta način je Parlament na domnevno nespoštovanje evropske zakonodaje opozorilo 63 odstotkov piscev peticij.
Among the issues raised: misleading company directory scams, breaches of EU environmental law, failure to recognise professional qualifications, demands for better food labelling , the waste crisis in Italy's Campania region and discrimination over Austrian ski pass prices for citizens from elsewhere in the EU.
Pravica do peticije je poleg evropske državljanske pobude, ki jo bodo lahko državljani EU uveljavljali od začetka naslednjega leta, je eden izmed temeljev evropskega državljanstva.
Ahead of the coming into force in 2012 of the citizens’ initiative, which will allow citizens to band together to demand changes to EU law, and the European Year of Citizenship in 2013, we look at one of the cornerstones of European citizenship.
Slednjemu bo sicer posvečeno leto 2013.
The assembly had to wait until 1964 for the second petition and until 1974 there were never more than 10 a year.
Kako opozoriti na nespoštovanje zakonov?
52% of petitions admissible
Danes ima seveda peticija drugačno obliko: v primeru Parlamenta gre za pisni poziv poslancem, da ukrepajo v primeru, ko se ne spoštuje evropska zakonodaja.
The EU often receives petitions concerning national issues over which it has no competence or that should more properly go to the European Court of Human Rights.
S prvim takšnim pozivom so se poslanci, takrat zbrani še v parlamentarni skupščini, ukvarjali leta 1958, ko je neko podjetje zahtevalo odškodnino zaradi nepravilnosti pri trgovanju s starim železom.
More than half the petitions concerned Spain, the EU as a whole, Germany or Italy.
Druga peticija je k poslancem priromala šele leta 1964, pri čemer do leta 1974 poslanci niso obravnavali več kot deset peticij na leto.
German and English were the most frequently used languages and most petitions were filed by Germans, Spaniards, Italians, Romanians and Poles.
Pisci peticij, individualnih ali skupinskih, so v letu 2010 opozarjali poslance predvsem na nespoštovanje okoljske zakonodaje in težave pri priznavanju poklicnih kvalifikacij, zahtevali pa so tudi boljše informacije o hrani.

17. maj, Mednarodni dan boja proti homofobiji
17 May: International day against homophobia
Čeprav je boj teh skupin za enakopravnost že zelo dolg, pa se mnogi istospolni, biseksualci in transseksualci v mnogih državah, predvsem afriških in arabskih, še vedno soočajo z dolgimi zapornimi in celo smrtnimi kaznimi.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people have had a tough fight to establish their rights in society, and still face fines, long-term imprisonment and even the death penalty in some (mostly African and Arab) countries.
Evropska unija se je v Listini temeljnih pravic zavezala, da bo homofobijo odpravila, je na plenarnem zasedanju Parlamenta prejšnji teden opozoril Buzek.
Under the EU treaties and the Charter of Fundamental Rights, the EU is committed to rooting out homophobia, Mr Buzek said.
Kljub temu pa zakonska zveza med osebami istega spola še vedno ni priznana v večini držav EU, pri čemer imajo istospolni pari, ki so poročeni, težave pri uveljavljanju svojih pravic drugje po uniji.
Same-sex marriage or registered civil union are still not recognised in most EU countries, and same-sex couples face serious problems when trying to get their rights recognised in other MS.
Evropski parlament je sprejel vrsto resolucij, v kateri poziva k odpravi diskriminacije istospolnih ter se zavzema za to, da bi bodoče generacije Evropejcev sprejele kulturo odprtosti in strpnosti.
The European Parliament has approved a number of resolutions condemning discrimination and wants to "make sure that future generations of Europeans grow accustomed to a culture of openness, non-discrimination and tolerance", Mr Buzek said.
"Tako v prihodnje ne bi več rabili dneva boja proti homofobiji," meni Buzek.
"So that in the future there no longer needs to be a day against homophobia."

Poslanci s svojimi kolegi iz južne Amerike o reševanju gospodarske krize
MEPs, Latin American MPs to focus on financial crisis, trade ties
Simbol medparlamentarne skupščine EU-Latinska Amerika Gospodarska in finančna kriza, obrambna in varnostna vprašanja ter politika priseljevanja so glavne teme, ki se jim bodo v okviru parlamentarne skupščine EU-Latinska Amerika skupaj s svojimi južnoameriškimi kolegi posvetili evropski poslanci.
Trade relations with Mercusor under the spotlight Meeting 17-19 May Meeting in Montevideo, Uruguay Security and defense, migration, the financial crisis and climate change will be on the agenda when MEPs and their Latin American counterparts meet 17-19 May in Montevideo, Uruguay, for the fifth plenary of the Euro-Latin American Parliamentary Assembly (EuroLat).
Pričakovati je, da bo med 17. in 19. majem v urugvajskem Montevideu govora tudi o pogajanjih o sklenitvi trgovinskega sporazuma med EU in Mercosurjem, ki ga sestavljajo Brazilija, Argentina, Urugvaj in Paragvaj.
A key issue will be negotiations for a free trade agreement between the EU and Mercosur (Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay).
Sicer so nekatere članice EU izrazile zaskrbljenost zaradi dejstva, da bi lahko južnoameriški kmetijski izdelki ob odprtju evropskega trga zanje povzročili težave evropskim kmetom, ki bi bili na ta način izpostavljeni ostrejši konkurenci.
Some EU governments have expressed concern over the idea of opening European markets to South American agricultural imports in return for a greater access to Mercosur's markets.
Parlamentarci bodo v Montevideu obravnavali tri resolucije, ki se osredotočajo na tri pomembna vprašanja v odnosih med EU in Latinsko Ameriko: trgovinske sporazume, boj proti nedovoljenim drogam in ustvarjanje novih delovnih mest.
They have warned that increased food imports could pose problems for many EU producers.
O njih bodo poslanci glasovali 19. maja.
Three resolutions on different aspects of EU-Latin American relations, trade agreements, political cooperation to step up security and the fight against drug trafficking or how to promote employment will be discussed by the three standing committees of Eurolat and voted in plenary 19 May.
