Pozdravil je nove poslance in poudaril, da gre za prvo srečanje izvoljenega Parlamenta združene Evrope, ki temelji na demokraciji, brez prevlade ene države nad drugimi.
On the Stability and Growth Pact, the Prime Minister stated that the economic objectives were sound, despite criticism.
Dejal je, da Evropa temelji na delu, solidarnosti in družbeni pravici.
He said he looked forward to the signing of the Constitutional Treaty in Rome on 29 October, and the ratification processes would now take their course.
Danes smo tako priča odprti Evropi, ki je odprta svetu, ki razume trpljenje drugih in prizadevanja različnih držav po svetu.
In the end, the EU should aim to improve the daily life of its citizens and only then would people truly engage in the Union.
Barroso predstavi vizijo svojega morebitnega predsednikovanja Komisiji
Romano Prodi made just two points in response to the debate.
Izjava kandidata za predsednika Komisije
Membership of Parliamentary Committees
Po uvodnem nagovoru poslancem o težavah, potrebah in prioritetah Unije, je kandidat za predsednika Evropske komisije, portugalec José Manuel Durao Barroso , poslancem predstavil še svojo vizijo Evropske komisije pod njegovim predsednikovanjem.
However, at the initiative of Lissy GRÖNER (PES, DE), the Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality decided on Friday by 20 votes to 14 to postpone the vote on its chair, because of a disagreement over the proposed candidate, Anna ZABORSKA (EPP-ED, SK).
"Evropska unija je drzna izkušnja brez primera.
This incident had immediate repercussions at the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, which met next.
Komisija predstavlja institucionalno novost, ki je posebej prilagojena evropskemu prostoru", je začel.
A motion by Piia-Noora KAUPPI (EPP-ED, FI), calling for a postponement of the Economic Committee's vote by which Pervenche BERES (PES, FR) was due to be appointed as chair of the committee, was approved by 24 votes to 14, with 5 abstentions.
Glavna značilnost Komisije naj bi bila po mnenju Barrosa moč in odprtost.
Ms Kauppi and her group argued that the agreement of principle between the political groups had been broken at the Women's Committee and they preferred to wait and see how the situation developed next week before taking a decision.
Pripravljena mora biti na pogovore, na poslušanje ter na neprestan dialog s civilno družbo, socialnimi partnerji in različnimi regijami.
All the committees meet in Brussels the week of 26 July with the main item on their agendas being the drafting of questionnaires for the hearings of the new Commissioners at the end of September.
Barroso je poslancem zagotovil, da želi predsedovati Komisiji, ki bo delovala kot ekipa in združila različne talente in kompetence, ki jih najbolje ustvarijo narodne tradicije - Komisija mora namreč odgovorajti najvišjim kriterijem odličnosti javnega življenja.
The number of EP committees has increased from 17 in the 1999-2004 term to 20 in the new Parliament, thus reverting to the previous situation: there will once again be a Committee on International Trade (an area which had been merged with industrial affairs), while the former Committee on Regional Policy, Transport and Tourism is split into two separate committees, as is the old Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market.
V odnosu do Parlamenta je izredno pomembno tesno in transparentno delovanje - poslance je pozval, da se morajo vedno zavedati svojih stališč, četudi so v nasprotju s tistimi, ki jih ima Komisija.
Karl VON WOGAU (EPP-ED, DE) is expected to be elected as chair of the former and Hélène FLAUTRE (Greens/EFA, FR) as chair of the latter (subject to votes at the constituent meetings of the subcommittees on Wednesday, 28 July in Brussels).
Posebej pa je želel izpostaviti tri točke:

Pozdravni nagovor predsednika Borrella
Minute's silence
Na področju gospodarstva je predsednik omenil problem selitve gospodarstva iz Evrope, saj številna podjetja selijo proizvodnjo v države s cenejšo delovno silo.
Struan STEVENSON (EPP-ED, UK) raised the case of a 16 year old girl who was publicly hanged in Iran for alleged offences against chastity.
Konflikt med gospodarsko konkurenčnostjo in razvojem tako po mnenju predsednika vodi v defenzivno vedenje znotraj nekaterih držav, Evropski parlament pa se mora intenzivno posvetiti tudi temu problemu.
He described this as an act of barbarism, and asked the President to express Parliament's outrage to the Iranian EU Ambassador about this and other executions of children.
Kar zadeva sam ustroj Evropskega parlamenta, je predsednik izpostavil pomen ustreznega in učinkovitega delovanja Parlamenta, kot glavno nerazrešeno vprašanje pa je omenil sprejem statuta poslancev EP, ki bi med drugim zagotovil enotne plače poslancev.
Diana WALLIS (ALDE/ADLE, UK) said that farmers in her constituency had suffered the worst weather and worst harvests for 40 years.
Svet je predlog statuta, ki ga je pripravil Parlament, lansko leto zavrnil, v nedavnem pogovru s predsednikom Sveta pa je g.
She called on the Commission to make appropriate support available in good time on a regional basis.
Predsednik je na kratko omenil tudi Ustavno pogodbo, v kateri vidi okvir za stabilno delovanje Evropskega parlamenta.
She also drew attention to what she saw as the likely link between such disasters and the problem of climate change.
Dejal je, da je v tem trenutku najpomembnejša naloga Parlamenta dati oživiti debato o ratifikaciji Ustavne pogodbe, hkrati pa izrazil prepričanje, da bi morali dobiti državljani Evrope priložnost, da izrazijo svoj odnos do pogodbe preko referenduma.
Proinsias DE ROSSA (PES, IE) spoke of the achievements of the PEACE II package of EU support for the Northern Ireland peace process, and called for the Commission to come forward with proposals for a new round of support in time for the scheme to continue without a break.
Vstop Turčije v EU je ravno tako izpostavil kot pomembno vprašanje v času svojega mandata.
Roger HELMER (EPP-ED, UK) strongly criticised the UK government's plans to ban fox hunting with dogs.
Vprašati se moramo, kako bi morebitni vstop Turčije v Unijo lahko vplival na odnos EU z islamskim svetom.
He said this would criminalise some of the most decent, law abiding and responsible people in Britain.
Parlament mora prispevati k iskanju odgovora na to vprašanje, saj odnos z islamskim svetom v tem trenutku predstavlja eno pomembnejših vprašanj, s katerimi se sooča Evropa.
He also said the use of the Parliament Act to achieve this was an abuse of the process.
Kar zadeva finančne perspektive 2007-2013 je predsednik dejal, da mora Parlamenta podati svoje mnenje na to temo pred koncem leta.
Dr. Charles TANNOCK (EPP-ED, UK) condemned the acquittal in Indonesia of all the army officers who had been investigated in relation to killings in East Timor in the run up to that nation's independence.
Poslanci se morajo zavedati, da tu ne gre zgolj za proračun, temveč za razvoj, različne programe, mreže itd.
It meant that none of those ultimately responsible for the violence would now be punished.
Pri sprejemenju svežnja zakonodaje mora tudi Parlament odigrati svojo vlogo, saj je to odlična priložnost, da pokaže, da je sposoben usmerjati nadaljnjo politiko razvoja Evrope.
Jim ALLISTER (NA, UK) spoke to condemn the suggestion from Romano PRODI that EU Member States' athletes might carry the EU flag at the next Olympics.
Iz tega razolga je prišlo tudi do pobude po ustanovitvi ad hoc odbora za finančne perspektive, o katerem bodo poslanci razpravljali jutri.
This was, he said, a step too far and should be resisted by all Member States.
Sodstvo in notranje zadeve
President Borrell's priorities
Zamrznitev sredstev obtožencev Mednarodnega kazenskega sodišča za bivšo Jugoslavijo
Address by the President of the European Parliament
Svet je Parlament namreč zaprosil, da zadevo obravnava kot "nujni postopek" (glej člen 134 v postopkovnih pravilih EP), saj želi preprečiti, da bi omenjene osebe uporabile finančna sredstva, preden bi bila ta zamrznjena.
the world which legislates in areas that affect citizens' daily lives.
Ker je bil postopek danes izglasovan, bodo poslanci o zadevi razpravljali jutri popoldan, glasovanje o sami vsebini predloga pa bo na sporedu v četrtek.
But with these powers, he said, came a huge personal responsibility:

of democratic legitimacy (the other being the Member States) within
Evropski parlament je danes sprejel poročilo poslanca Jean-Louis Bourlangesa (ALDE, FR), ki zadeva predlog Uredbe Sveta o posebnih omejevalnh ukrepih v podporo učinkovitemu izvajanju mandata Mednarodnega kazenskega sodišča za nekdanjo Jugoslavijo.
Turning to the recent tragic acts of terrorism, he said that he had called on all the Member States to observe one minute of silence in schools.
V torek so se poslanci odločili, da bodo predlog obravanavali kot nujni postopek.
All acts of terrorism should be condemned and words were not enough, there was no excuse or justification for these tragic acts.

Turning to globalisation, President Borrell said that he understood the fear that jobs would be transferred outside of the EU as labour costs were cheaper in some parts of the world.
Zahteva za nujni postopek Sveta Evropske unije - Gospodarski razvoj turške ciprske skupnostiPredlog za Uredbo Sveta o sprejemu listine o finančni podpori za spodbujanje gospodarskega razvoja turške ciprske skupnostiRazprava: 14.09.2004
As to those MEPs who had chosen to speak in a non-official language, President Borrell recalled that it would take a unanimous decision of the Council to change the official working language regime of the EU.
Poslanci EP so zjutraj glasovali proti uporabi nujnega postopka pri sprejemanju svežnja ukrepov Komisije v zvezi s spodbujanjem gospodarskega razvoja turške skupnosti na Cipru.
Turning to the ratification of the Constitutional Treaty, he said that the European Parliament's role would be to engage in the process where appropriate.
To pomeni, da bo zadeva romala nazaj v obravnavo v okviru Odbora za zunanje zadeve.
He recalled that Spain's ratification is due to take place in February next year.

He said that this would be the most important debate on Europe since the founding of the Union.
Marjory van den Broeke
On the approval of the new Commission, President Borrell stated that it would not be a case of rubber-stamping, but the House would bring real political value to the process.

He also said that he would call on Mr BARROSO and Mr SOLANA regularly to meet the political groups in Parliament as well as addressing the plenary.
Ustavne zadeve
On Turkey, President Borrell reminded the House that he had invited Prime Minister ERDOGAN to address the Conference of Presidents on 23 September.
Poslanci se zavzemajo za posvetovanje glede Ustavne pogodbe
This would be before the Commission publishes its report on whether to open negotiations.
Zahteva za posvetovanje z Ekonomsko-socialnim odborom - Predlog pogodbe o Ustavi za Evropo
The European Parliament, he said, should also deliver its opinion before the end of the year so as to engage in the process.
Poslanci so glasovali v prid zahteve po posvetovanju z Evropskim ekonomsko-socialnim odborom (kot to predvideva člen 117 postopkovnih pravil EP) na temo Evropske ustavne pogodbe.
President Borrell also looked forward to hearing from Wim Kok on the progress made under the Lisbon agenda.
Ravno tako so se pri glasovanju opredelili za zahtevo po posvetovanju z Odborom regij na področju Evropske ustavne pogodbe, kot to predvideva člen 118 postopkovnih pravil EP)
In conclusion, President Borrell said the dream of the reunification of Europe set out by the Union's founders had finally been achieved.

Predlog konference predsednikov
Sudan crimes "tantamount to genocide"
Poslanci so danes sprejeli razporeditev članov v medparlamentarnih delegacijah.
In adopting a resolution on Darfur, MEPs underlined the need for dialogue and political negotiation rather than military intervention.
Zaenkrat je razporeditev slovenskih poslancev sledeča (v kolikor pride do sprememb, vas bomo obvestili).
A delegation of six MEPs visited Darfur from 2nd to 7th September and met many refugees, including those at the Zamzam camp which no other high level delegation had yet visited.
