Proposal for a directive Recital 3 (3) There is evidence of a tendency towards increasingly dangerous targeted and recurrent large scale attacks conducted against information systems which are critical to states or to particular functions in the public or private sector.

Amendment 115 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 3 3.

Motion for a resolution Recital A A. whereas the future Association Agreement with Ukraine heralds a new generation of association agreements and involves an unprecedented level of integration between the European Union and a third country; whereas with this agreement Ukraine commits itself to implementing a large portion of the acquis communautaire; whereas the negotiations with Ukraine are amongst the most advanced in the Eastern Neighbourhood and therefore serve as an example for the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) as a whole, which means that the EU must insist even more resolutely on compliance with human rights and rule of law provisions;

Amendment 18 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 4 4. Recalls that the Commission’s proposed Financial Framework for the period 2014 - 2020 excludes the GMES programme completely, and asks the Member States to conduct a thorough cost-benefit analysis and, on that basis, to decide whether they wish to continue to cover the costs of the launch and annual maintenance of the programme; considers that this would lead to a potential temporary suspension of the programme itself, an interruption in data provision as a result, and a dependence on non-European space infrastructure;
Amendment 22 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 5. Underlines that the costs relating to GMES are already covered until 2013, totalling EUR 3 billion (approximately EUR 2.3 billion for the satellites and EUR 700 million for related services) and that it is estimated that the programme’s maintenance costs for the period 2014 - 2020 will average EUR 850 million per year, with the likelihood, in the light of previous rises in space project costs and the fact that there are no comparable projects, that costs will be higher;
Amendment 32 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 7 7.

Draft opinion Paragraph 2 2. Welcomes the Commission’s intention to avoid duplication, to concentrate on strategic issues within the multilateral fora of the ENP and to use subregional and bilateral contacts for specific investment projects and cooperation programmes, which presupposes a strengthening of the collective opinion-forming process in the EU; stresses the importance of building effective subregional partnerships within the wider Mediterranean region;

Underlines that the European defence industry is characterised by varying national policies, which sometimes result in distortion of competition and could further aggravate the adverse effects on the industry; stresses therefore that the competitiveness and resilience of the defence industry need to be increased by privatisation, European cooperation in research and the removal of subsidies to minimise the adverse effects;

2011/2297(INI) Implementation of EU water legislation, ahead of a necessary overall approach to European water challenges
2012/03/30
PETI
4 amendments...
Amendment 4 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 1. Declares that water is a shared resource of humankind and a public good and therefore should not be a source of profit, and that access to water should constitute a fundamental and universal right; stresses that the sustainable use of water is an environmental and health necessity that plays a fundamental role in the climate regulation cycle; reiterates that ‘the management of water resources should not be subject to internal market rules’ (EP Resolution P5_TA (2004)0183) and invites the European Commission to review the relevant legislation, particularly that on public procurement and concessions, so as to guarantee continued or restored exclusive public ownership and management of water and water utilities;
Amendment 24 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 8 8. Reminds the Member States of their obligations under the WFD to achieve good water status by 2015, and calls on the Member States and the Commission to act as quickly as possible to take all necessary measures and to make sufficient funding and technical assistance available to reach these water quality targets; considers that the participation of citizens, environmental NGOs and the civil society is essential for successful implementation of the WFD and sustainable environmental management as a whole;
Amendment 34 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 11 11. Regrets that the European Commission proposal amending the WFD (COM (2011)876) adds only 15 new chemical substances from a list of 2000 potentially dangerous substances that should be monitored and reduced, and fails to set out clear timetables to phase out the most dangerous chemicals, despite explicit legal requirements agreed upon since 2000; asks, therefore, the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, in its recommendation to the Commission, to pay particular attention to the priority substances mentioned above – very often identified by petitioners as ‘toxic and radioactive waste’ – given the high degree of risk they pose, as water contaminants, to human health;

Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 (7) As a recognition of the mission attributed to European political parties in the Treaty and in order to facilitate their work, a specific European legal status should be established for European political parties and their affiliated European political foundations, providing them with full legal capacity and recognition in all the Member States. However the conditions for recognition and funding should not be so onerous as to restrict the funding to those European political parties and affiliated European political foundations which are already established.

Proposal for a regulation Article 12 – paragraph 1 1. A European political party registered in accordance with the conditions and procedures laid down in this Regulation, which is represented in the European Parliament by at least one of its members, and having member parties within the meaning of Article 2(1) established in one quarter of the Member States which is not in one of the situations of exclusion referred to in Article [93] of the Financial Regulation may apply for funding from the general budget of the European Union, in accordance with the terms and conditions published by the European Parliament in a call for [contributions].
