Proposal for a regulation – amending act Recital 21 (21) In most Member States, the operational aspects of return of third- country nationals illegally present in the Member States fall within the competencies of the authorities responsible for controlling the external borders. As there is a clear added value in performing these tasks at Union level, the Agency should, in full compliance with the Union's return policy, accordingly provide the necessary assistance and coordination for organising joint return operations of Member States and identify best practices on the acquisition of travel documents and define a Code of Conduct to be followed during the removal of third-country nationals illegally present in the territories of the Member States. The joint return operations should always be monitored by an independent body. No Union financial means should be made available for activities and operations that are not carried out in conformity with the Charter of Fundamental Rights.

2010/0064(COD) Combating sexual abuse, sexual exploitation of children and child pornography
2011/01/19
LIBE
15 amendments...
Amendment 45 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 2 a (new) (2a) Sexual abuse of children takes place most frequently in the direct environment of children, during a longer period, by figures of authority, such as parents, relatives, teachers, child minders, or religious leaders. The relationship of dependence between the victim and the perpetrator, strict social or moral conventions with the community, feelings of guilt and fear of retribution or exclusion by the community, make it extremely difficult for young victims to speak out, and sometimes they remain silent far into adulthood. This is an important obstacle to effective prosecution of child abuse. Child abuse therefore often goes unreported or unpunished.
Amendment 53 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 7 (7) This Directive does not govern Member States' policies with regard to consensual sexual activities in which children may be involved and which can be regarded as the normal discovery of sexuality in the course of human development, taking account of the different cultural and legal traditions and of new forms of establishing and maintaining relations among children and adolescents, including through information and communication technologies. These issues fall outside of the scope of this Directive. It is up to Member States to define, with regard to these issues, what should and what should not be criminalised.
Amendment 62 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 9 a (new) (9a) Member States should foster open dialogue and communication with countries outside the EU in order to be able to prosecute perpetrators, under the relevant national legislation, who travel outside EU borders for the purposes of sex tourism.
Amendment 72 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 12 (12) Where the danger posed by the offenders and the possible risks of repetition of the offences make it appropriate, convicted offenders should be temporarily or permanently prevented from exercising professional activities involving regular contacts with children, where appropriate. Implementation of such prohibitions throughout the EU should be facilitated.
Amendment 78 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 13 (13) Child pornography, which constitutes sex abuse images, is a specific type of content which cannot be construed as the expression of an opinion. To combat it, it is necessary to reduce the circulation of child abuse material by making it more difficult for offenders to upload such content onto the publicly accessible Web. Action is therefore necessary to remove the content at source a

It shall be within the discretion of the Member States to decide whether this Article applies to cases involving child pornography, as referred to in Article 2(b)(iii), where the person appearing to be a child was in fact 18 years of age or older at the time of depiction.
Amendment 244 #
Proposal for a directive Article 14 – paragraph 1 1. Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that investigations into or the prosecution of the offences referred to in Articles 3 to 7 are not dependent on a report or accusation being made by the victim or by its representative, and that the criminal proceedings may continue even if the victim has withdrawn their statements.
Amendment 263 #
Proposal for a directive Article 17 – paragraph 2 a (new) 2a. Member States shall ensure in cases of sexual abuse and sexual exploitation within the context of the family, circle of relatives or friends, school sports, church or other parts of the regular day-to-day environment of the child the necessary measures are undertaken to protect and provide assistance to the child victim, as well as to other family members who where not involved in the offence.
Amendment 307 #
Proposal for a directive Article 19 – paragraph 5 a (new) 5a. Member States shall take the necessary measures, where in the interest of the child victims and taking into account other overriding interests, to protect their privacy, their identity and their image and to prevent the public dissemination of any information that could lead to their identification.

Amendment 32 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 9 9. Urges that, in connection with the impact assessment, a cost-benefit analysis – i.e. an examination of the cost-efficiency of all programmes and measures involving expenditure – should always be carried out, and potential implications for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) examined; calls in this connection for the consistent application of the ‘SME test’ proposed in the 2008 Small Business Act; recalls in this context that

The participating Member States should ensure that requests for unitary effect are filed with the European Patent Office within
Amendment 49 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 16 (16) Patent proprietors should pay one common annual renewal fee for European patents with unitary effect. Renewal fees should be progressive throughout the term of the patent protection and, together with the fees to be paid to the European Patent Organisation during the pre-grant stage, should cover all costs associated with the grant of the European patent and the administration of the unitary patent protection. The level of the renewal fees should be fixed with the aim of facilitating innovation and fostering the competitiveness of European businesses and should take into account the specific situation of small and medium-sized enterprises, natural persons and non- profit organisations in the form of lower fees. It should also reflect the size of the market covered by the patent and be similar to the level of the national renewal fees for an average European patent taking effect in the participating Member States at the time where the level of the renewal fees is first fixed
Amendment 55 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 20 (20) An Enhanced partnership between the European Patent Office and central industrial property offices of the Member States should enable the European Patent Office to make regular use, where appropriate, of the result of any search carried out by central industrial property offices on a national patent application the priority of which is claimed in a subsequent European patent application. All central industrial property offices, including those which do not perform searches in the course of a national patent granting procedure, can have an essential role under the enhanced partnership, inter alia by giving advice and support to potential patent applicants, in particular small and medium-sized enterprises, natural persons and non-profit organisations by receiving applications, by forwarding applications to the European Patent Office and by disseminating patent information.

Amendment 29 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 10 (10) A harmonised regime for notification of major holdings of voting rights, especially regarding aggregation of holdings of shares with holdings of financial instruments, should improve legal certainty, enhance transparency and reduce administrative burden for cross-border investors. Member States should therefore not be allowed to adopt stricter or divergent rules in that area than those provided in Directive 2004/109/EC. However, taking into account the existing differences in ownership concentration in the Union, Member States should continue to be allowed to set lower thresholds for notification of holdings of voting rights; nevertheless, measures to incentivise long term investment should be considered and also a requirement for full transparency of voting for any borrowed shares.

2011/0359(COD) Statutory audit of public-interest entities: specific requirements
2012/09/11
JURI
39 amendments...
Amendment 205 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 11 (11) The provision of services other than statutory audit to audited entities by statutory auditors, audit firms or members of their networks may compromise their independence. Therefore, it is appropriate to require
Amendment 212 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 23 (23) Audit committees, or bodies performing an equivalent function within the audited entity, have a decisive role in contributing to high-quality statutory audit. It is particularly important to reinforce the independence and technical competence of the audit committee by requiring that a majority of its members is independent and that at least one member of the committee has competence in auditing and another one in auditing and/or accounting. Members of the audit committee should take part in skill enhancement programmes to ensure an appropriate level of technical knowledge to fulfil their roles. The Commission Recommendation of 15 February 2005 on the role of non- executive or supervisory directors of listed companies and on the committees of the (supervisory) board26 sets out how audit committees should be established and function. Considering, however, the dimension of boards in companies with reduced market capitalisation and in small and medium-sized public-interest entities, it would be appropriate that the functions assigned to the audit committee for those entities, or to a body performing equivalent functions within the audited entity, may be performed by the administrative or supervisory body as a whole. Public- interest entities which are UCITS or alternative investment funds should also be exempted from the obligation to have an audit committee. This exemption takes into account the fact that where those funds function merely for the purpose of pooling assets, the employment of an audit committee is not appropriate. UCITS and alternative investments funds, as well as their management companies, operate in a strictly defined regulatory environment and are subject to specific governance mechanisms such as controls exercised by their depositary.
Amendment 227 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 27 (27) In order to address the familiarity threat and therefore reinforce the independence of auditors and audit firms, it is important to establish a maximum duration of the audit engagement of a statutory auditor or audit firm in a particular audited entity.
Amendment 234 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 36 a (new) (36a) The Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on specific requirements regarding statutory audit of public- interest entities envisages that the EU- wide cooperation between competent authorities in respect of the activities of statutory auditors and audit firms that audit the financial statements of public- interest entities would take place within ESMA. ESMA would thus take over the EU-wide cooperation mechanism that currently takes place under the aegis of the European Group of Auditors' Oversight Bodies (EGAOB), an expert group established and chaired by the European Commission. ESMA should create a standing committee composed of the competent authorities and supervisors of auditors. However, auditor public oversight would continue to be carried out at national level. ESMA would be best placed to fulfil the new tasks according to this Regulation in order to ensure an effective and operational cooperation at EU level. An EU-wide cooperation on auditor supervision within ESMA would benefit from the experience and resources of ESMA, as they are already working in the field of auditing regarding public-interest entities under the auspices of the Corporate Reporting Standing Committee. Under this new structure within ESMA, Member States will be sufficiently represented and will be an integral part of the decision-making process. The Commission, shall after a transitional period, report back to the European Parliament and the Council with a report on the function of ESMA regarding coordination of European audit supervision and their future role in this regard. The Commission shall evaluate ESMA has enough resources to fulfil its tasks laid down in this Regulation and propose budget increases if necessary.

If the audit committee does not feel it is necessary, it should explain why to the competent authority. 2. The tendering procedure referred to in Paragraph 1 shall be designed by the audit committee and approved by the competent authority. When designing their non-audit service policies, audit committees must: (a) aim for the greatest possible transparency; (b) give due consideration to small and medium-sized service providers; (c) ensure involvement of shareholders in the provision of non-audit services, in particular the audit committee shall receive an annual approval of the audited entities policy for non-audit services. 3. The selection procedure for those non- audit services referred to in paragraph 1 shall respect the following criteria: (a) the audit committee shall be free to invite any statutory auditors, audit firms or non-audit service providers to submit proposals for the provision of non-audit services; (b) tender documents shall be prepared by the audit committee, which should contain transparent and non- discriminatory selection criteria that shall be used to evaluate the proposals made by statutory auditor(s), audit firm(s), or non- audit service provider(s); (c) where, in accordance with national Union law, the competent authorities referred to in Article 35, require statutory auditors, audit firms and non-audit service providers should comply with certain quality standards, those standards shall be included in the tender documents; (d) the audit committee shall evaluate the proposals made by the statutory auditors, audit firms or non-audit service providers in accordance with the selection criteria predefined in the tender documents; (e) the audit committee shall be able to demonstrate to the competent authority referred to in Article 35 that the selection procedure was conducted in a fair manner.

2012/03/20
JURI
13 amendments...
Amendment 24 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 (7) Demographic changes and the changing age structure of the population concerned require that the pension age be increased, subject however to transitional measures for officials and other servant of the European Union already in service. These transitional measures are necessary to respect acquired rights of officials already in service who have contributed to the notional pension fund for European Union officials. The pension age should also be made more flexible by making it easier for staff to voluntarily continue to work until the age of 67 and making it possible, in exceptional circumstances to work until the age of 70.
Amendment 32 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 1 – point 5 a (new) Staff Regulations Article 11 a 5a. Article 11a shall be replaced by the following: 'Article 11a 1. An official shall not, in the performance of his duties and save as hereinafter provided, deal with a matter in which, directly or indirectly, he has any personal interest such as to impair his independence, and, in particular, family and financial interests. This shall also apply with regards to matters on which the official has been actively working in the course of a previous occupational activity, whether gainful or not, undertaken within the past three years, in particular if the occupational activity in question was performed in collaboration with a stakeholder in the matter. 2. All newly appointed officials shall complete a comprehensive declaration of interest including information about previous occupational activities for the three years prior to the date on which they start to work in the institutions, as provided for by each institution in accordance with Article 110. 3. Any official to whom it falls, in the performance of his duties, to deal with a matter referred to above shall immediately inform the Appointing Authority. The Appointing Authority shall take any appropriate measure, and may in particular relieve the official from responsibility in this matter. All institutions shall regularly publish a list of all such decisions by the Appointing Authority, indicating what action was taken in each case or if it was decided that no action was necessary. 4. An official may neither keep nor acquire, directly or indirectly, in undertakings which are subject to the authority of the institution to which he belongs or which have dealings with that institution, any interest of such kind or magnitude as might impair his independence in the performance of his duties.';
Amendment 38 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 1 – point 5 b (new) Staff Regulations Article 16 5b. Article 16 shall be replaced by the following: 'Article 16 An official shall, after leaving the service, continue to be bound by the duty to behave with integrity and discretion as regards the acceptance of certain appointments or benefits. Officials intending to engage in an occupational activity, whether gainful or not, within two years of leaving the service shall inform their institution thereof. If that activity is related to the work carried out by the official during the last three years of service and could lead to a conflict with the legitimate interests of the institution, the Appointing Authority may, having regard to the interests of the service, either forbid him from undertaking it or give its approval subject to any conditions it thinks fit. The institution shall, after consulting the Joint Committee, notify its decision within 30 working days of being so informed. If no such notification has been made by the end of that period, this shall be deemed to constitute implicit acceptance. All institutions and agencies shall regularly publish a list of all cases assessed under this Article, without prejudice to the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data1, and shall produce an annual report which includes statistical information and details of emerging trends. The list shall include the name of the official, particulars of his former role, his proposed new role, the proposed date of his departure from the institution or agency concerned and of his assumption of functions in his new role, the final assessment under this Article and any restrictions placed upon his acceptance of the role. Leave on personal grounds may not be granted to an official for the purpose of his engaging in an occupational activity, whether gainful or not, which would involve lobbying or advice on lobbying an institution on issues relating to those with which he has been directly dealing within the institution during the past three years. The term "lobbying" shall be interpreted, in accordance with the definition used by the EU Joint Transparency Register, as meaning activities carried out with the objective of directly or indirectly influencing the formulation or implementation of policy and decision- making processes of the institutions. ________________ 1 OJ L 8, 12.1.2001, p. 1.';

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 20 20. Welcomes the Commission's commitment to performing a comprehensive evaluation of the Dublin system in 2014, reviewing its legal, economic, social and human rights effects; considers that further reflection is needed on the development of an equitable responsibility-sharing mechanism for determining which Member State should be responsible for processing asylum applications;
Amendment 95 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 22 22. Stresses that the relevant case-law suspending transfers under the Dublin Regulation, while providing an answer to individual cases, fails to overcome the structural shortcomings of the Dublin system as a whole; welcomes, therefore, the efforts to include additional criteria in Dublin II in order to mitigate the system's unwanted adverse effects; believes that discussions for the determination of the Member State responsible must take account of the fact that some Member States are already facing disproportionate pressures and some asylum systems are partially or fully dysfunctional;
Amendment 127 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 31 a (new) 31 a. Believes that special attention should be paid to assessing whether relocation efforts are undermined by the transfer of asylum seekers under the Dublin Regulation;
Amendment 130 #

Amendment 157 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 39 39.

Amendment 30 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 18 a (new) 18a. Acknowledges that many SMEs in Europe already undertake CSR policies, such as local employment, community engagement, applying good governance policies with their supply chain etc.; however, most of these SMEs do not know that they are actually putting in practice sustainability, CSR and good corporate governance practices; therefore calls on the Commission to first consider SMEs’ current practices before considering CSR strategies specifically for SMEs;
