Amendment 8 #
Proposal for a regulation Title Proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on food intended for infants and young children and on food for special medical purposes and foodstuffs for people intolerant to gluten(presented by the Commission pursuant to Article 114 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union)(Text with EEA relevance)
Amendment 17 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 15 (15) A limited number of categories of food constitutes the sole source of nourishment of certain groups of the population or represent a partial source of nourishment; such categories of food are vital for the management of certain conditions and/or are essential to maintain the intended nutritional adequacy for certain well-established vulnerable groups of the population. Those categories of food include infant formulae and follow-on formulae, processed cereal-based food and baby food and food for special medical purposes, and food for people intolerant to gluten. Experience has shown that the provisions laid down in Commission Directive 2006/141/EC, Commission Directive 2006/125/EC, as well as Commission Directive 1999/21/EC, and Commission Regulation (EC) No 41/2009 ensure the free movement of such food in a satisfactory manner, while ensuring a high level of protection of public health. It is therefore appropriate that this Regulation focuses on the general compositional and information requirements for infant formula and follow-on formulae, processed cereal-based food and baby food for infants and young children and to food for special medical purposes, and food for people intolerant to gluten taking into account Commission Directive 2006/141/EC, Commission Directive 2006/125/EC and Commission Directive 1999/21/EC, and Commission Regulation (EC) No 41/2009.
Amendment 20 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 16 (16) To ensure legal certainty, definitions laid down in Commission Directive 2006/141/EC, Commission Directive 2006/125/EC and Commission Directive 1999/21/EC, and Commission Regulation (EC) No 41/2009 should be transferred to this Regulation. However, the definitions of infant formulae and follow-on formulae, processed cereal-based food and baby food, and food for special medical purposes, and food for people intolerant to gluten should be regularly adapted taking into account technical and scientific progress and relevant developments at international level, as appropriate.
Amendment 30 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 19 (19) This Regulation should provide the criteria for the establishment of the specific compositional and information requirements for infant formula, follow-on formula, processed cereal-based food and baby food,
Amendment 33 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 20 (20) It is appropriate to establish and update a Union list of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other substances that may be added for specific nutritional purposes to infant formula, follow-on formula, processed cereal-based food and baby food, and food for special medical purposes, and food for people intolerant to gluten, taking into account Regulation 953/2009, Commission Directives 2006/141/EC and 2006/125/EC, subject to certain criteria laid down in this Regulation. Given the fact that the adoption of the list implies the application of criteria set out in this Regulation, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission in that respect. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 laying down the rules and general principles concerning mechanisms for control by Member States of the Commission’s exercise of implementing powers. The Commission should adopt immediately applicable implementing acts updating the Union list, where, in duly justified cases relating to public health, imperative grounds of urgency so require.

Amendment 32 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 17 Amendment 38 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 19 (19) Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 provides that the competent authority is to issue a passport for each animal which has to be identified in accordance with that Regulation. This causes a considerable administrative burden for the Member States. The computerised databases established by Member States sufficiently ensure traceability of domestic movements of bovine animals. Passports should therefore be issued only for animals intended for intra-Union trade. Once the data exchange between national computerised databases is operational, the requirement of issuing such passports should no longer apply for animals intended for intra-Union trade. In all cases, the current passport, whether the current paper version or the future electronic version, should include the gene mapping of the sample used for reference, to be carried out when the EID is registered or introduced.
Amendment 49 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 20 (20) Section II of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 lays down rules for a voluntary beef labelling system which provide for the approval of certain labelling specifications by the competent authority of the Member State.

2012/10/07
ENVI
8 amendments...
Amendment 53 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 (2) Sustainable development of air transport necessitates the introduction of measures aimed at reducing the noise nuisance from aircraft at and around airports with particular noise problems, in the light of current and future cumulative impact and risk scenarios. A large number of EU citizens are exposed to high noise levels which may lead to negative health effects, particularly where night flights are concerned.
Amendment 56 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 (7) While noise assessments should take place on a regular basis, such assessments should only lead to additional noise abatement measures if the current combination of noise mitigating measures does not achieve the noise abatement objectives. Additional noise abatement measures should be drawn up following a systematic process of environmental monitoring and control and be based on a conservative approach with the aim of identifying promptly the management and/or operational Monitoring-Based Corrective Actions (MBCA) required.

Amendment 2 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 13 a (new) (13a). Experience has shown that specific rules need to be introduced to avoid the conflict of interest that can arise between the developer of a project that is subject to environmental impact assessment and the competent authorities referred to in Article 1(2)(f) of Directive 2011/92/EU. In particular, the competent authorities should not coincide with the developer nor in any way be dependent on, linked to or subordinate to the developer. For the same reasons, an authority that has been designated as a competent authority under Directive 2011/92/EU should not be able to play that role in relation to projects that are subject to environmental impact assessment which the authority itself has commissioned.
Amendment 3 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 18 (18) The environmental report of a project to be provided by the developer should include an assessment of reasonable alternatives relevant to the proposed project, including the likely evolution of the existing state of the environment without implementation of the project (baseline scenario), as a means to improve quality of the comparative assessment process and to allow integrating environmental considerations at an early stage in the project’s design, in order to enable the most sustainable choice, with the least environmental impact, to be made.
Amendment 4 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 19 (19) Measures should be taken to ensure that the data and information included in the environmental reports, in accordance with Annex IV of Directive 2011/92/EU are complete and of sufficiently high quality.
Amendment 5 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 19 a (new) (19a). It should be ensured that the experts who check the environmental reports have, due to their qualifications and experience, the necessary technical expertise to carry out the tasks set out in Directive 2011/92/EU in a scientifically objective manner and in total independence from the developer and the competent authorities themselves.
Amendment 6 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 21 (21) It is appropriate to establish common minimum requirements for the monitoring of the significant adverse effects of the
Amendment 7 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 22 (22) Time-frames for the various steps of the environmental assessment of projects should be introduced, in order to stimulate more efficient decision-making and increase legal certainty, also taking into account the nature, complexity, location and size of the proposed project. Such time-frames should under no circumstances compromise the high standards for the protection of the environment, particularly those resulting from other Union environmental legislation, and effective public participation and access to justice, and any extensions should be granted only in exceptional cases.
Amendment 8 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 23 a (new) (23a). The production thresholds laid down for crude oil and natural gas in Annex I to Directive 2011/92/EU do not take into account the specificity of daily production levels of non-conventional hydrocarbons, which are often highly variable and lower. Accordingly, despite their environmental impact, projects concerning such hydrocarbons are not subject to compulsory environmental impact assessment. In accordance with the precautionary principle, as called for by the European Parliament resolution of 21 November 2012 on the environmental impacts of shale gas and shale oil extraction activities (P7_TA (2012) 0443), it would be appropriate to include non-conventional hydrocarbons (shale gas and oil, 'tight gas, 'coal bed methane'), defined according to their geological characteristics, in Annex I to Directive 2011/92/EU, regardless of the amount extracted, so that projects concerning such hydrocarbons are systematically made subject to environmental impact assessment.
Amendment 9 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 24 (24) The new provisions should also apply to projects for which the request for development consent is introduced before the time-limit for transposition but for which the environmental
Amendment 10 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 26 (26) In order to adjust the selection criteria and the information to be provided in the environmental report to the latest developments in technology and relevant practices, the power to adopt acts, in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, should be delegated to the Commission in respect of Annexes II.A, III and IV of Directive 2011/92/EU. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level.

Amendment 14 #
Proposal for a directive Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point c Directive 2011/92/EU Article 1 – paragraph 3 3. Member States may decide, on a case- by-case basis and if so provided under national law, not to apply this Directive to projects having as their sole purpose national defence or the response to civil emergencies, in order to protect human life and the environment from damage caused by natural or man-made disasters, if they deem that such application would have an adverse effect on those purposes.

Member States shall designate the competent authority or authorities in such a way as to ensure their full independence in the performance of the duties assigned to them under this Directive. In particular, the competent authority or authorities shall be designated in such a way as to avoid any relationship of dependence, any links or subordination between them or their members and the developer. A competent authority may not perform its duties under this Directive in relation to a project which it has commissioned itself."

Amendment 19 #
Proposal for a directive Article 1 – point 2 a (new) Directive 2011/92/EU Article 2 – paragraph 4 (2a) In Article 2, paragraph 4 is replaced by the following: “4. Without prejudice to Article 7, Member States may, in exceptional cases, exempt a specific project in whole or in part from the provisions laid down in this Directive. In that event, the Member States shall: (-a) consult the public concerned; (a) consider whether another form of assessment would be appropriate; (b) make available to the public concerned the information obtained under other forms of assessment referred to in point (a), the information relating to the exemption decision and the reasons for granting it; (c) inform the Commission, prior to granting consent, of the reasons justifying the exemption granted, and provide it with the information made available, where applicable, to their own nationals. The Commission shall immediately forward the documents received to the other Member States. The Commission shall report annually to the European Parliament and to the Council on the application of this paragraph."

Proposal for a directive Recital 4 (4) Over the last decade, environmental issues, such as resource efficiency, biodiversity, climate change, and disaster risks, have become more important in policy making and should therefore also constitute critical elements in assessment and decision-making processes, especially for infrastructure projects.
