Amendment 88 # Elisabetta GARDINI, Paolo BARTOLOZZI, Sergio BERLATO, Lorenzo FONTANA, Cristiana MUSCARDINI, Oreste ROSSI, Andrea ZANONI, Patrizia TOIA, Antonio CANCIAN, Amalia SARTORI, Mario PIRILLO, Tiziano MOTTI, Salvatore TATARELLA, Lara COMI 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, ~~and~~ food for special medical purposes, and foods for people intolerant to gluten, taking into account Commission Directive 2006/141/EC, Commission Directive 2006/125/EC ~~and~~, Commission Directive 1999/21/EC, Commission Regulation (EC) No 41/2009. In order to adapt the definitions of infant formula, follow-on formula, processed cereal-based food and baby food, ~~and~~ food for special medical purposes, and foods for people intolerant to gluten laid down in this Regulation taking into account technical and scientific progress and relevant developments at international level, to lay down the specific compositional and information requirements with respect to the categories of food covered by this Regulation, including for additional labelling requirements to, or derogations from, the provisions of Directive 2000/13/EC and for the authorisation of nutrition and health claims, 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. It is of particular importance that the Commission carries out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level. The Commission, when preparing and drawing-up delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and Council. Amendment 101 # Elisabetta GARDINI, Paolo BARTOLOZZI, Sergio BERLATO, Lorenzo FONTANA, Cristiana MUSCARDINI, Oreste ROSSI, Andrea ZANONI, Patrizia TOIA, Antonio CANCIAN, Amalia SARTORI, Mario PIRILLO, Tiziano MOTTI, Salvatore TATARELLA, Lara COMI 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~~substances that may be added for specific nutritional purposes to infant formula, follow-on formula, processed cereal-based food and baby foods, ~~and~~ food for special medical purposes, and foods for people intolerant to gluten, taking into account Regulation (EC) No. 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.

This is in line with the international standard for foods for special dietary use for persons intolerant to gluten (CODEX STAN 118-1979 revised in 2008).

Amendment 7 # Niccolò RINALDI, Cristiana MUSCARDINI Motion for a resolution Recital E a (new) E a. whereas no specific Euro- Mediterranean financial institution exists, while the experience gained by the EBRD during the transition of Central and Eastern Europe in previous years should allow it to play a positive role in SMCs; noting with regret, however, that several EU Member States have not yet ratified the amendments to the EBRD Agreement which will help the EBRD to be fully operational in the Mediterranean region; Amendment 8 # Niccolò RINALDI, Cristiana MUSCARDINI, Maria BADIA i CUTCHET, Robert STURDY Motion for a resolution Recital F F. whereas, thus far, the economies of SMCs have been run by undemocratic leaders to the benefit of the few, often overlooking the needs of the most vulnerable; whereas the fact that many dictators have now been deposed opens up new opportunities to open up the economies of the region and create a true market economy; Amendment 13 # Niccolò RINALDI, Cristiana MUSCARDINI, Maria BADIA i CUTCHET Motion for a resolution Recital L L. whereas chronic unemployment, especially of young people, and lack of trade diversification remain a serious concern; whereas long-term structural unemployment and informal labour, including child labour, remains high in most SMCs and has further deteriorated in those countries which have experienced severe social unrest during the Arab Spring; whereas the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) estimates that the region needs to create around 25 million new jobs over the next decade to maintain the current level of employment; Amendment 14 # Niccolò RINALDI, Cristiana MUSCARDINI, Maria BADIA i CUTCHET Motion for a resolution Recital M M. whereas adolescents (aged 10-19) represent 20 % of the population and unemployment rates for those aged between 15 and 24 are around 25- 30 % while the participation of women in the labour market remains very low; whereas unemployment is particularly high amongst university graduates, leading to a brain drain and a waste of human resources; Amendment 25 # Niccolò RINALDI, Cristiana MUSCARDINI, Maria BADIA i CUTCHET, Robert STURDY Motion for a resolution Paragraph 4 4.

Welcomes the recent involvement of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) in the Mediterranean region and the extra funds pledged by the EU and several individual EU Member States for the Bank's activities; urges the European Council and the European Parliament to speedily ratify the amendments to the EBRD Agreement which will help the EBRD to be fully operational in the Mediterranean region; considers that the total funds available for EBRD investment in the region should be increased and that SMEs should be major beneficiaries of these investments; encourages SMCs to demonstrate their commitment by applying the principles of democracy, pluralism and market economics so that they may have access to investment according to the Bank's Statute; Amendment 78 # Niccolò RINALDI, Cristiana MUSCARDINI, Maria BADIA i CUTCHET Motion for a resolution Paragraph 31 31.
