Amendment 66 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 1. Is convinced that population growth, in particular in cities, will give rise to challenges for transport in terms of safety and capacity, and that the basic right to mobility realised also by improved accessibility and the construction of missing infrastructure links and the applicability of this right are crucial in this regard; stresses that, in this context, multimodal transport chains and collective transport, inter alia, are the way ahead for urban areas;
Amendment 252 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 14 14. Emphasises that an efficient transport policy requires adequate funding, and that a transport fund might be created using, inter alia, existing funds in the EU budget, part of the structural and cohesion policy funds and PPPs or other financial instruments; such a fund should be used to improve infrastructure, support research and promote the implementation of intelligent transport systems
Amendment 280 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 17 17. Is convinced that the definition of a European core network within the overall TEN network should be evaluated according to criteria of sustainable development at European and also regional level, and that multimodal platforms remain an essential element of infrastructural supply, since they enable effective interconnections between different modes of transport; considers it important, however, to adapt the criteria to various regional conditions;

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 19 19. Stresses that the creation of a European transport area is an important priority which depends to a large extent on international acceptance under agreements which are yet to be negotiated, for all transport modes, particularly in connection with air and ship transport, and that the EU should play an increasingly formative role in the relevant international bodies;

2012/07/18
AGRI
1 amendments...
Amendment 191 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 21 (21) Due to the successive integration of various sectors into the single payment scheme and the ensuing period of adjustment granted to farmers, it has become increasingly difficult to justify the presence of significant individual differences in the level of support per hectare resulting from use of historical references. It is therefore vital that coherence is ensured between the uniform duties and requirements imposed on farmers throughout the EU and the level of direct support. Therefore direct income support should be more equitably distributed between Member States and better focused on the new objectives, by reducing the link to historical references and having regard to the overall context of the Union budget. To ensure a more equal and harmonious distribution of direct support, while taking account of the differences that still exist in wage levels and input costs, the levels of direct support per hectare should be progressively adjusted.

Each producer’s contribution to payment of the surplus levy shall be established by decision of the Member State, after any unused part of the national quota allocated to deliveries has or has not been re-allocated, in proportion to the individual quotas of each producer or according to objective criteria to be set by the Member States: (a) either at national level on the basis of the amount by which each producer’s quota has been exceeded; (b) or firstly at the level of the purchaser and thereafter at national level where appropriate. Where the third subparagraph of Article 105o(1) applies, Member States, in establishing each producer’s contribution to the amount of levy payable due to the application of the higher rate referred to in that subparagraph, shall ensure that this amount is contributed proportionately by the producers responsible according to objective criteria to be set by the Member State.

Where a purchaser fully or partially replaces one or more other purchasers, the individual quotas available to the producers shall be taken into account for the remainder of the twelve-month period in progress, after deduction of quantities already delivered and account being taken of their fat content. This paragraph shall also apply where a producer transfers from one purchaser to another. 3. Where, during the reference period, quantities delivered by a producer exceed that producer’s available quota, the relevant Member State may decide that the purchaser shall deduct part of the price of the milk in any delivery by the producer concerned in excess of the quota, by way of an advance on the producer's contribution, in accordance with detailed rules laid down by the Member State. The Member State may make specific arrangements to enable purchasers to deduct this advance where producers deliver to several purchasers.

No correction linked to fat content shall be taken into account for the purpose of drawing up the definitive surplus levy statement. 4.

Amendment 395 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 47 a (new) (47a) Whereas the pending financial crisis contributed immensely to the fragmentation of European financial markets, it is indispensable to enhance the common integrated financial framework. However, it should be borne in mind that the deepening of integration in the EMU cannot give rise to new, not outlined in the Treaties, convergence criteria, which can create additional barriers to entry for countries under a temporary derogation.
Amendment 396 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 47 b (new) (47b) Whereas, efforts to secure financial stability within the EU require a diversified approach to distinctive types of risks in different markets and considering that the economies of the Member States, including those in the EMU, remain heterogeneous and that economic cycles are not synchronized, it should be borne in mind that according to the ESRB Recommendation (ESRB/2011/3) and standard no. 138 of Basel III, effective response to the problems of macroeconomic imbalances necessitates the use of discretionary instruments at local level. Moreover, the scope to customize macroprudential instruments is of the utmost significance to the Member States remaining in the EMU, due to their inability to use macroeconomic automatic stabilizers, such as interest rate or exchange rate.

Amendment 96 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 (3) In order to provide for the single supervisory mechanism, Council Regulation (EU) No …/… [127(6) Regulation] confers specific tasks on the ECB concerning policies relating to the prudential supervision of credit institutions in the Member States whose currency is the euro.

Amendment 111 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 a (new) (4 a) Bearing in mind that the EBA, in works of which all Member States participate with equal rights, was established with an aim to develop the single rulebook and ensure the coherence of supervisory practices within the EU and given the establishment of the single supervisory mechanism with a leading role of the ECB, the EBA needs to be equipped with adequate instruments, which will enable it to efficiently perform its entrusted tasks concerning the integrity of the single market in the area of financial services.

Amendment 144 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 a (new) (8 a) Since the Member States which entered into close cooperation with the SSM are devoid of voting rights in the Governing Council of the ECB, which results in a lack of effective influence on the decision making process within the SSM, a special procedure for settlement of disagreements between the ECB and a competent authority of a Member State which has entered into close cooperation shall be established, which will compensate for the absence of forceful instruments to sway the decision making process taken within the SSM and at the same time, will safeguard the right to protect justified interests, in particular the stability of the local financial market. To that end, the EBA should be equipped with the ultimate authority to settle disagreements between the ECB and the competent authority of a Member State that has entered into close cooperation with the SSM.
Amendment 148 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 (9) The composition of the Management Board should be balanced and proper representation of Member States participating in the SSM, remaining in the close cooperation, and not participating in the SSM should be ensured.
