Notes that even after it became clear that the accuracy of statistical data reported by some Member States was questionable in some cases, that during the previous parliamentary term when the directive on Eurostat was being revised, the Council ~~– and France and Germany in particular –~~ was opposed to giving Eurostat the power to conduct the on-the-spot checks advocated by the European Parliament; Amendment 882 # Bendt BENDTSEN, Gunnar HÖKMARK, Alain LAMASSOURE, Sirpa PIETIKÄINEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 108 ~~108.

Severely criticises the manner in which the EU took part in the 2009 Climate Conference in Copenhagen, where – through failure to speak with one voice – it was dispossessed of its agenda; where it ought to have played a lead role but where its failure to transcend the level of the various national strategies left it a passive spectator at a dialogue of the deaf between the US and Chinese governments;deleted Amendment 931 # Alain LAMASSOURE, Sirpa PIETIKÄINEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 113 a (new) 113a. Considers that, if these goals are to be achieved, it is time for all our policies to take second place to the priority aim of doubling the Union’s growth potential, as otherwise none of our problems can be solved; considers that this ought to be the focus of the new EU 2020 strategy; Amendment 1030 # Bendt BENDTSEN, Gunnar HÖKMARK, Alain LAMASSOURE, Sirpa PIETIKÄINEN, Monika HOHLMEIER Motion for a resolution Paragraph 123 123. Asks the Commission to organise, where necessary, sector-based round tables so that all the stakeholders in a given market can work together with a view to encouraging the relaunch of a genuine European industrial policy as well as fostering innovation and job creation; reminds that in this quest we have to bear in mind our commitments regarding climate change and of the potential of certain green technologies; considers that the EU Budget needs to be better used, so that it becomes a real catalyst of the entirety of national efforts in the domains of research and development, innovation and creation of new businesses and jobs; further calls on the Commission to put forth concrete proposals on how to enhance corporation between business and research and promote clusters and to support such a strategy with adequate funds; stresses that one fundamental driving force for development in any market is free and fair competition, where it is easy for newcomers to enter, and where there are no privileges distorting the market; Amendment 1092 # Alain LAMASSOURE, Gunnar HÖKMARK, Enikő GYŐRI, Sirpa PIETIKÄINEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 133 133. Believes that, given how important it is for the Union to intervene directly in the areas of shared competence, and given the need for it to maintain a high level of public investment during the current period of economic uncertainty, it must increase its budgetary capacity, inter alia by identifying new types of "own resources", ~~for example the levy of a certain percentage of corporate tax for the benefit of the EU~~on the basis of a resolution adopted by the European parliament on 14 March 2007; proposes that, alongside the specific structures that the EP will set up internally to conduct the debate on revision of the financial perspective, it should seek to forge close links with the national parliaments of the Member States, in the form of a convention in order to draft a "Financial Charter" for the European Union; recognizes that it is essential for the European Union not to intervene in every part of European life, both because it is not legitimate in the eyes of the European citizens and because it would be very inefficient, and that a main task for the EU in the future has to be to focus on genuine cross-border issues where the Union can make a substantial contribution which member states cannot, and that, in turn, this requires using the current resources more wisely; Amendment 1167 # Bendt BENDTSEN, Othmar KARAS, Alain LAMASSOURE, Burkhard BALZ, Sirpa PIETIKÄINEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 143 143.

Believes it is vital to complete the internal market ~~– or the single market, as Mario Monti prefers to call it – because it is~~ and strongly calls on the Commission to secure a thorough and speedy implementation of the services directive, to improve the protectione of ~~the EU's major assets and a compelling reason for defending the Union model on the international stage~~IPR through the establishment of a European patent regime - vital for SMEs to prosper - and to improve standardisation; believes that the market must use the Union'’s diversity as a source of strength rather than an arena for location and wage competition; believes, therefore, that it is vital to make progress on tax harmonisation, consolidation of the European social model ~~and the setting of basic social standards~~; Amendment 1225 # Bendt BENDTSEN, Alain LAMASSOURE, Burkhard BALZ, Sirpa PIETIKÄINEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 149 149. Asks the Commission urgently to investigate, by means of a full competition review with wide-ranging terms of reference, how financial sector players make so much money; believes high returns may be explained in part by high risk-taking by the financial sector – subsidised by the taxpayer both through biases in the tax system and through explicit or implicit guarantees of a government bailout in the event of a liquidity or solvency crisis; believes high returns appear also to reflect weaknesses in competition within the financial sector, related, for example, to anti-competitive market structures or to asymmetrical or privileged access to information that may have been aggravated as a result of restructuring in the sector during crisis;deleted Amendment 1229 # Alain LAMASSOURE, Sirpa PIETIKÄINEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 149 a (new) 149a.

Considers that the task of introducing crisis-management measures for the eurozone should not compromise the essential establishment of economic governance measures for both normal and crisis times, given that the overall experience of 10 years of EMU has clearly shown that ~~increasing~~excessive differences in levels of competitiveness exist among the eurozone Member States ~~are unacceptable~~; Amendment 1253 # Gunnar HÖKMARK, Werner LANGEN, Markus FERBER, Alain LAMASSOURE, Burkhard BALZ, Sirpa PIETIKÄINEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 153 153.

Welcomes the recent Commissions proposals on better fiscal and economic policy coordination as a good starting point for discussion. Considers that, as the first step in ex ante coordination of economic policies, the budgets of the eurozone Member States must be drawn up – as was proposed in 2005 when the stability pact was reviewed – according to a harmonised timetable and using a single set of forecasts for the major external variables (per-barrel oil price, exchange rates, etc.) and for growth rates as jointly agreed on the basis of a Commission proposal; proposes an annual debate to take place among national parliaments, with the participation of the European Parliament on the budgetary orientations of one another; notes that, for 2011, the French Government forecasts a growth rate of 2.5%, compared with the Commission forecast of 1.5%, while for Germany the corresponding figures are 2% and 1.7%, and for the UK 3.3% and 1.9%; Amendment 1291 # Gunnar HÖKMARK, Werner LANGEN, Markus FERBER, Alain LAMASSOURE, Burkhard BALZ, Sirpa PIETIKÄINEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 158 ~~158.

Considers that, in managing a eurozone crisis, the apparently strange solution of calling on the IMF to supply a third of the aid required is a useful one, given the Fund's expertise and the fact that Europeans see it as the main world- level player in this type of crisis management; considers it to be in the interest of Europeans that the IMF should be able to interact directly with other world-level bodies;deleted Amendment 1347 # Alain LAMASSOURE, Sirpa PIETIKÄINEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 167 167. Asks the Commission and the Council to consider how the Paris Club arrangements for rescheduling, restructuring or cancelling certain public debts might be tailored to the current situation and utilised via a European debt resolution mechanism;deleted Amendment 1360 # Gunnar HÖKMARK, Alain LAMASSOURE, Othmar KARAS, Markus FERBER, Sirpa PIETIKÄINEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 168 168. Points out that the ultimate purpose of the financial system is to provide appropriate instruments for saving and for putting savings to use in the form of investment to promote economic efficiency, optimise long-term financing and pensions, and create jobs as already done by regional oriented retail banks; notes that this function is especially important in a situation where new means of growth are needed, entailing substantial investment in clean technologies; emphasises that financial development must also be put to use in the cause of fairness by extending access to credit – subject to adequate safeguards – to sections of the population currently cut off from it and thereby handicapped in terms of economic integration; insists that regulatory reform in the financial sector must not be carried out for the sole purpose of ensuring financial stability but must also reflect the aims of sustainable growth and fairness without compromising the financial stability aim; Amendment 1365 # Alain LAMASSOURE, Danuta Maria HÜBNER, Sirpa PIETIKÄINEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 169 169. ANotes that the exit from the sovereign debt crisis will be a long term process which must be well-designed and orchestrated ensuring a path to a balanced development; acknowledges that compromises may have to be made between growth, fairness and financial stability and that such compromises must be the subject of political decision-making; asks the Commission to present financial development proposals that take these aims into account, particularly with regard to the EU 2020 strategy, and to explain the types of compromise on which political choices may have to be made; hopes that this will provide a basis on which the Union can facilitate debate and permit policy comparisons following consultation with all parties that have a stake in financial- market reform (banks, investors, savers and the social partners); calls on the Commission furthermore to involve it more closely in this process, particularly when devising and then implementing the EU 2020 strategy; Amendment 1413 # Gunnar HÖKMARK, Othmar KARAS, Alain LAMASSOURE, Sirpa PIETIKÄINEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 178 178. Proposes that, following the entry into force of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, all new EU legislation on rules for financial- sector players and markets should spell out the obligation to respect the letter and spirit of Article 9 of the Treaty, a step that should, specifically, require banks to consider loan applications in the light of their impact on employment in the EU;deleted Amendment 1435 # Gunnar HÖKMARK, Werner LANGEN, Markus FERBER, Othmar KARAS, Alain LAMASSOURE, Monika HOHLMEIER, Burkhard BALZ, Sirpa PIETIKÄINEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 181 ~~181.

When doing so, the Commission should pay special attention to online collection systems, among other issues. Since the setting-up and operation of individual websites fulfilling data-protection and safety criteria for all citizen's initiatives may prove difficult and costly for organisers and for Member States, due to the need to certify individual online collection systems, it might in the future become essential for the Commission to launch a central website, in which all initiatives would be registered in such a way that they could be located, accessed and signed by citizens. If serious data-protection and safety problems arise in the system of individual websites, the Commission should carefully examine the possibility of setting up such a central website.

Is irritated by the letter of the five heads of state and government1 calling for a cap in EU budget increases during the next multiannual financial framework; reiterates that regardless of realisable savings, the EU budget at its current overall level of 1 % of GNI is not capable of closing the financing gap deriving from additional financing needs arising from the Treaty as well as from EU targets and commitments, such as: the financing of the existing European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism and the European Stability Mechanism after 2013; the increase of research and innovation spending from currently 1.9 % of GNI to 3 % of GNI as stipulated by the EU 2020 strategy, adding up to approximately € 130 billion per year; the financial effort related to the attainment of the Millennium development goal to spend 0.7 % of GNI on development aid, i.e. around € 35 billion annually further to the current spending of 0.4 % of GNI; the resources required for the fulfilment of the emission reduction goals which the Council intends to raise from 20 % to 30 %; the necessary investments in energy networks; the essential fully-fledged and transparently calculated financing of large-scale projects adopted by the Council such as ITER and Galileo as well as the European space policy; the additional financing needs related to the accession of Croatia to the EU; the not yet quantifiable additional appropriations needed in the field of Common Foreign and Security Policy, including the European External Action Service and the European Neighbourhood Policy; demands from the Council to provide adequate funding to cover the future financing needs and emphasises the inevitable postponement or suspension of strategically important long-term EU projects and programmes if the necessary resources are not provided; __________________ 1 Letter addressed to Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission by David Cameron, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Angela Merkel, Federal Chancellor of Germany, Nicolas Sarkozy, President of the French Republic, Mark Rutte, Prime Minister of the Netherlands, and Mari Kiviniemi, Prime Minister of Finland on 17 December 2010 (the examples provided by this amendment (i.e. starting with the European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism and ending with the CSFP) should be visualised as bullet points) Amendment 1047 # Alain LAMASSOURE, Reimer BÖGE Motion for a resolution Paragraph 115 115. Recalls that according to the Treaty of Lisbon ‘without prejudice to other revenue, the budget shall be financed wholly from own resources’; stresses that the way the system of own resources has evolved, gradually replacing genuine own resources by national contributions, places disproportionate emphasis on net-balances between Member States thus diluting the European common interest; emphasises the need for a reform of revenue in order to gradually re-align it with the spirit of the Treaty; notes that, in practice, this state of affairs means that the size of the EU’s common budget is dependent on the financial circumstances of the Member States that are the least well run or show the least interest in the EU; Amendment 1065 # Reimer BÖGE, Alain LAMASSOURE, Othmar KARAS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 116 116.

Stresses, in connection with the use of structural funding outside the cohesion countries, the need to avoid spreading support too thinly and instead to focus it on projects that are of genuine European relevance, either because of their scale or because, as pilot projects, they are likely to serve as a model for others; Amendment 824 # Alain LAMASSOURE, Reimer BÖGE Motion for a resolution Paragraph 81 81. Notes that the EEAS is in its ‘building- up’ phase; highlights that according to the Council’s decision of 20 July 2010, ‘the establishment of the EEAS should be guided by the principle of cost-efficiency aiming towards budget neutrality’5 ; stresses, accordingly, the need for the new service to fully exploit efficiency gains deriving from the pooling of resources at Union level as well as synergies with Member States in order to demonstrate the true added value of the Union’s diplomacy; regrets the duplication, and sometimes the contradiction, hence the waste due to the multiplication of poorly coordinated national actions ; Amendment 841 # Alain LAMASSOURE, Reimer BÖGE Motion for a resolution Paragraph 82 a (new) 82a.
