Amendment 30 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 2 a (new) 2a. Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data1 should apply. The transfer of personal and commercial data should only be permitted with the express permission of the individual or firm concerned. 1 OJ L 281, 23.11.1995, p. 31.
Amendment 36 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 7 a (new) 7a. National language requirements are often an obstacle to the development of the coastal shipping network. Regulation 14(4) of Chapter V of the SOLAS Convention should be retained, given that the Member States are contracting parties to the Convention. That regulation provides for the use of English as the working language. This rule should not apply to ports where less than 10% of the traffic is international until 36 months after this directive comes into force.
Amendment 49 #
Proposal for a directive Article 5 – subparagraph 3 The information shall be considered to comply if it results from the application of the definitions referred to in the FAL Convention given in Annex II and is notified using the FAL forms listed in Annex I, using the methods established in the FAL Convention. The FAL forms must be submitted in accordance with the language rules specified by the International Maritime Organisation in Regulation 14(4) of Chapter V of the SOLAS Convention as referred to in Directive 2001/25/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 April 2001 on the minimum level of training of seafarers. That regulation provides for the use of English as the common working language. This rule should not apply to ports where less than 10% of the traffic is international until 36 months after this directive comes into force. 1 OJ L 136, 18.5.2001, p. 17.
Amendment 55 #
Proposal for a directive Article 7 a (new) Article 7a Confidentiality of data The Member States shall, in compliance with EU legislation, in particular Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data 1, and with national legislation, take the necessary measures to ensure that commercial and confidential data collected in accordance with this directive are adequately protected. The Member States shall ensure that the users of these data have access only to the databases relevant to their specific responsibilities and thus do not misuse these data or transfer personal or commercial data without the express permission of the individual or firm concerned. 1 OJ L 281, 23.11.1995, p. 31.
Amendment 60 #
Proposal for a directive Article 9 a (new) Article 9a European Maritime Safety Agency When Regulation (EC) No 1406/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 June 2002 establishing a European Maritime Safety Agency1 is next revised, the Commission shall, on the basis of this directive, propose amendments intended to make this Agency operational and competent in respect of the monitoring and the technical and administrative harmonisation of the formalities provided for in this directive. _____________________ 1 OJ L 208, 5.8.2002, p. 1.

Amendment 16 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 3 b (new) 3 b. Urges the Commission to continue to combat abuses of flags of convenience and to look at the possibility of creating a European register;
Amendment 24 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 a (new) 5 a. Calls on the Commission to submit to the Council and to the European Parliament by June 2010 a list of the State aid provided in the last three years to European maritime transport companies and a breakdown of the market, as a percentage, between container line consortia and maritime conferences;

2009/2152(INI) Report on the Commission White Paper: 'Adapting to climate change: towards a European framework for action'
2009/12/14
REGI
9 amendments...
Amendment 3 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 2. Takes the view that the impact of climate change varies between sectors and European regions
Amendment 7 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 a (new) 2a. Regrets that during the current programming period 2007-2013 the Member States are only allocating 3 percent (9 billion Euro) of the total amount to funding measures for energy efficiency and renewable energies in the operational programmes, and that investments in the new Member States of 2.4 percent are even lower ; therefore takes the view that the share of funding for energy efficiency and renewable energies in the recovery-plan of 500 million Euro can only be a first step in the right direction;
Amendment 13 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 4 a (new) 4a. Takes the view that with intelligent energy policies actively promoting renewable energy sources, decentralised energy supply and energy efficiency in their territories, the regions not only contribute to fighting the effects of climate change, but also open up new economic opportunities and prospects for their citizens; therefore asks the Member States and the Commission to increase the EU fund allocations by launching an initiative that revises the operational programmes in order to include more climate change mitigation and adaptation projects in all the types of investments; asks Member States to ensure the systematic integration of energy saving and renewable technology measures in all projects and to restrict climate-damaging investments;

Amendment 28 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 8 8. Considers it essential to pursue policies that make both public and private investment and certain administrative acts (such as planning permission and development plans) subject to a climate impact assessment, so as to block investment in unsustainable infrastructure; therefore urges the Commission to work as soon as possible together with the Member States and stakeholders on a set of guidelines to ensure that account is taken of climate change impacts when implementing the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of projects, the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and Directives relating to programmes or spatial planning policies;
Amendment 32 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 8 a (new) 8a. Takes the view that, from the micro- climatic point of view, the further paving- over of land in densely populated areas and towns should be avoided;

Proposal for a regulation Citation 1 a (new) having regard to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 (UNCLOS),
Amendment 234 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 a (new) (2a) The Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should not constitute an impediment to the obligation of the Union to sustainably manage the exploitation of marine resources.
Amendment 260 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 (5) At the World Summit on Sustainable Development at Johannesburg in 2002, the Union and its Member States committed to act against the continued decline of many fish stocks. Therefore, the Union should improve its Common Fisheries Policy to ensure that as a matter of priority exploitation levels of marine biological resources stocks are restored and maintained at levels above those capable of producing maximum sustainable yields from the populations of harvested stocks by 2015. Where less scientific information is available, this may require applying proxies to maximum sustainable yield.
Amendment 266 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 a (new) (5a) The concept of Maximum Sustainable Yield as enshrined in UNCLOS has been a legally binding fisheries management target on the Union since its ratification in 1998.
Amendment 267 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 b (new) (5b) Adopting fishing mortality rates below those necessary to maintain fish stocks at levels above those capable of producing the MSY is the only way of ensuring that the fishing industry becomes economically viable in the long term without reliance upon public aid.
Amendment 297 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 11 a (new) (11a) Unnecessary suffering of marine wildlife, including fish, sharks, turtles, seabirds and marine mammals must be avoided, therefore improved catching and slaughtering methods should be developed.
Amendment 345 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 18 a (new) (18 a) In order to create incentives for improving fishing selectivity, total allowable catches should not be increased to include quantities that would otherwise be discarded.
Amendment 348 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 18 b (new) (18 b) In order to create incentives for improving fishing selectivity, total allowable catches should not be increased to include quantities that would otherwise be discarded.
Amendment 372 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 22 (22) In view of the precarious economic state of the fishing industry and the dependence of certain coastal communities on fishing activities, it is necessary to ensure the relative stability of fishing activities by allocating fishing opportunities among Member States, based on a predictable share of stocks for each Member State, taking into account their compliance with the provisions of the Common Fisheries Policy.

Member States should also cooperate with each other to coordinate data collection activities. Where relevant, Member States should also cooperate with third countries
Amendment 490 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 39 (39) Sustainable fisheries agreements concluded with third countries should ensure that Union fishing activities in third country waters are based on the best available scientific advice, ensuring a sustainable exploitation of the marine biological resources while respecting the principle in the UNCLOS of surplus. Those agreements, which provide for access rights in exchange for a financial contribution from the Union, should contribute to the establishment of a high quality governance framework to ensure in particular efficient monitoring, control and surveillance measures.

Amendment 1892 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex -I (new) – Part 1 – Section 1.2 – Paragraph 1.2.1 1.2.1 The principle of sustainable development, as laid down in Article 3 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU), relates to a concept of progress according to which social, economic and environmental considerations are to be integrated when considering well-being and a better quality of life for the present and future generations. Sustainable development requires compliance with the environmental acquis. Moreover, it should be demonstrated that overall investment results in net benefits for society. (Addition of the second phrase to Art. 1.2.1 at the end.)
Amendment 1893 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex -I (new) – Part 1 – Section 1.2 – Paragraph 1.2.2 1.2.2 Sustainable Development considerations as well as the polluter pays principle must, therefore, be an integral part of every plan, from design to delivery, and monitoring to evaluation. Member States and regions should provide timely and comprehensive information on the amount of climate related expenditure in accordance with the methodology set out in the Common Provisions Regulation. Member States and regions should track biodiversity- related expenditure based on the proposed reporting arrangements. Progress in the implementation of the horizontal principles laid down in Article 8 of this Regulation should be demonstrated by applying horizontal indicators. As a general rule, those who cause environmental damage should bear the costs of avoiding it or compensating for it, and funding should not be used to meet the costs of complying with existing legislation.

Proposal for a regulation Annex -I (new) – Part 1 – Section 1.3 – Paragraph 1.3.3 1.3.3 Higher participation of women in the labour market, both as employers and employees, would invigorate the Union's economy. Unblocking the potential for such an increase in activity, by increasing the female employment rate is crucial for reaching the Europe 2020 employment targets of 75% employment rate for women and men. Barriers to women's labour market participation, must, therefore, be fully addressed through, inter alia, reduction of labour market segmentation by occupation and sector by, amongst others, encouraging a better participation of women in the field of R & D and including female workers into training and vocational training in 'green jobs'; Member States and regions must ensure with specific actions that in addition to the ESF, the ERDF, the CF, the EMFF and the EAFRD also finance activities that promote women's economic independence, contribute to attaining an appropriate balance between work and family life, and that advance women's opportunities as entrepreneurs. (Changes to the second part of paragraph 1.3.3.)
Amendment 1918 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex -I (new) – Part 1 – Section 1.3 – Paragraph 1.3.4 a (new) 1.3.4a The opinion issued by the equality bodies on the programmes for the ESF, ERDF and Cohesion Fund should aim at ensuring that all necessary provisions for the promotion of gender equality are in place.

Amendment 1942 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex -I (new) – Part 1 – Section 1.6 – Paragraph 1.6.4 Community-led local development (based on the experience of LEADER under rural development) can complement and enhance the delivery of public policies for all CSF Funds. It aims at increasing effectiveness and efficiency of territorial development strategies by delegating decision-making and implementation to a local partnership of public, private and civil society actors. Community-led local development should be implemented in the context of a strategic approach followed by public policy-makers, to ensure that the 'bottom- up' definition of local needs takes into account priorities set at higher levels. Member States, in close cooperation with the partners referred to in Article 5 of this Regulation, will therefore have to define their approach to community-led local development across the CSF Funds. Under the EAFRD, LEADER will continue to be a compulsory element in each rural development programme. Existing LEADER groups should be able to continue successful development strategies. (Add the second block of sentences at the end of 1.6.4)

Amendment 199 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 15 (15) The achievement of the objectives of the CFP would be undermined if Union financial assistance under EMFF is disbursed to operators who, ex-ante, do not comply with requirements related to the public interest of conservation of marine biological resources. Therefore only operators should be admissible who, within a particular period of time before lodging an application for aid, were not involved in the operation, management or ownership of fishing vessels included in the Union IUU vessel list as set out in Article 40(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008 of 29 September 2008 establishing a Community system to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, amending Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93, (EC) No 1936/2001 and (EC) No 601/2004 and repealing Regulations (EC) No 1093/94 and (EC) No 1447/1999,

Amendment 357 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 50 (50) Conscious of the need to identify the most suitable areas for developing aquaculture, taking into account access to waters and space and that coastal spatial planning should ensure the conservation of coastal ecosystems, in particular the achievement of good environmental status under the MSFD, the EMFF should support national authorities in making their strategic choices at national level.
Amendment 362 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 51 (51) Investment in human capital is also vital to increase the competitiveness and economic performance of aquaculture activities. Therefore, the EMFF should support lifelong learning and networking stimulating the dissemination of knowledge as well as advisory services helping to improve the overall environmental performance and competitiveness of operators.
Amendment 369 #

Calls on the Commission to establish a definition of overcapacity at EU level accommodating regional definitions, where local specificities are taken into account; further calls on the Commission to redefine fishing capacity in such a way that both the vessel’s fishing capacity and its actual fishing effort are taken as a basis; stresses moreover the necessity to define small- scale fisheries in order to dissociate them from industrial fisheries, while recognising that there is no universally applicable definition;

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 10 a (new) 10a. Calls on the Commission to measure, based on the recommendations of the FAO Technical Consultation (1999), and before the end of 2013, the capacity of European fleets in order to establish where there is overcapacity in relation to the resources available and what reductions/conversions are required; insists that the capacity measures should not be restricted to tonnage and engine power, but that they should include the types and quantities of fishing gear used and any other parameter contributing to the fishing capacity;

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 2.

Amendment 178 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 33 (33) The requirement that the settlement of the cash leg of the securities transaction be carried out by a separate legal entity acting as settlement agent is an important measure to increase the safety and resilience of CSDs. Such a separation between core services of CSDs and banking services ancillary to settlement appears indeed indispensible for eliminating any danger of transmission of the risks from the banking services, such as credit and liquidity risks, to the provision of core services of CSDs. There are no less intrusive measures available for eliminating those credit and liquidity risks in order to ensure the envisaged level of safety and resilience of CSDs. However, in order to secure the efficiencies resulting from the provision of both CSD and banking services within the same group of undertakings, the requirement that banking services be carried out by a separate credit institution should not prevent that credit institution from belonging to the same group of undertakings as the CSD. If both CSD and banking services are provided within the same group of undertakings, in order to increase the safety and efficiency of the services provided, the activities of the credit institution providing banking services should be limited to the provision of banking services ancillary to settlement.

Amendment 643 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 67 – paragraph 4 a (new) 4a By way of derogation from Article 52(1), when a national competent authority referred to in Article 53(1) of this Regulation is satisfied that a CSD has all the necessary safeguards in place to allow it to exercise ancillary services, the competent authority may submit a request to the Commission to allow this CSD also to carry out the ancillary services set out in Section C of the Annex up to two years at the most from the entry into force of this Regulation. This request shall include: a) evidence justifying the request, explaining in detail the arrangements the CSD has put in place to deal with all associated risks; b) a reasoned assessment that this solution is the most effective means to ensure systemic resilience; c) an analysis of the expected impact on the relevant financial market and financial stability. Following a detailed impact assessment and consultation of the undertakings concerned and after taking into account the opinions of the EBA, the ESMA and the ECB, the Commission shall adopt an implementing decision in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 66. The Commission shall give reasons for its implementing decision. A CSD which benefits from a derogation shall be authorised as a credit institution as provided for in Title II of Directive 2006/48/EC. This authorisation shall be limited exclusively to the provision of the banking type of ancillary services that it is authorised to provide in accordance with paragraph 4 and shall imply the fulfilment of the prudential and supervision requirements provided in Article 57 and 58.

Recital 1 a (new) (1a) The legal basis for this Regulation, Article 109 TFEU, provides only for consultation of Parliament, not for codecision in line with other areas of market integration and economic regulation further to the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty. This democratic deficit cannot be tolerated in respect of proposals that concern the means of oversight by the Commission of decisions and acts by national and local elected authorities, in particular as regards services of general economic interest related to fundamental rights. This deficit should be corrected in any future Treaty change. The Commission blueprint for a deeper Economic and Monetary Union foresees proposals for a Treaty change by 2014.
