Strongly condemns female genital mutilation (FGM) as a barbarian breach of the bodily integrity of women and girls; firmly rejects any reference to cultural, traditional or religious practice as a mitigating factor; urges the Commission to pay specific attention to such traditional harmful practices in its strategy to combat violence against womenflagrant violation of the fundamental human right to physical integrity, which must be combated with legislation banning the practice; congratulates African Heads of State for their adoption, at the African Union Summit of July 2011, of a Decision in support of a United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) Resolution banning FGM worldwide, as a demonstration of the highest degree of political will and commitment to extend all efforts to bring an end to the practice; urges the 66th Session of the UNGA to adopt a Resolution that fulfils these aspirations; emphasizes the need for the Commission to provide the means necessary to support the adoption and effective implementation both within and outside the EU of an international ban and of national laws aimed at the elimination of FGM, including outreach to ensure knowledge of the law, mechanisms to facilitate reporting and prevention, prosecution of presumed offenders, assistance to victims, and sufficient allocation of resources; and requests the EEAS to include this issue in the development and implementation of the human rights country strategies; Amendment 280 # Ramon TREMOSA i BALCELLS, Edward McMILLAN-SCOTT, Renate WEBER Motion for a resolution Paragraph 67 67. Draws attention to the serious problem that exists in several countries in sub- Saharan Africa of children being accused of witchcraft, resulting in grave consequences ranging from social exclusion to infanticide, and to the ritual murder of children as sacrifices; notes that the State has a responsibility to protect children from abuse and, consequently, urges the EEAS to pay particular attention to the fate of these children in the human rights dialogues with the governments of the countries concerned and in the programming of the external financial instruments; Amendment 284 # Marietje SCHAAKE, Edward McMILLAN-SCOTT, Leonidas DONSKIS, Baroness LUDFORD, Sarah Motion for a resolution Paragraph 68 68. Stresses that freedom of expression and media, both offline and online, independence and pluralism are essential elements of a sustainable democracy, maximising the involvement of civil society and empowering citizens~~; calls~~ and are therefore indispensable for ensuring transparency and accountability in public life; calls for increased support in the areas of promoting the freedom of media, protecting independent journalists and bloggers, reducing the digital divide and facilitating ~~Internet access~~unrestricted access to information and communication and uncensored access to the internet (digital freedom); Amendment 286 # Marietje SCHAAKE, Edward McMILLAN-SCOTT, Leonidas DONSKIS, Baroness LUDFORD, Sarah Motion for a resolution Paragraph 69 69. Notes that the Iinternet has become one of the most important vehicles through which individuals exercise their right to freedom of opinion and expression, and that it has played a crucial role in promoting human rights, democratic participation, accountability, transparency and economic development; notes however that ICTs can also be misused to violate human rights and fundamental freedoms; Amendment 292 # Marietje SCHAAKE, Edward McMILLAN-SCOTT, Leonidas DONSKIS, Baroness LUDFORD, Sarah Motion for a resolution Paragraph 70 70. Welcomes the Commission initiative on the ‘No Disconnection Strategy’; invites the Commission to submit ~~a proposal for regulating the export of products and services aimed at blocking websites~~smart regulatory proposals, including increased transparency and accountability for EU (based) companies, in order to improve the monitoring of the export of products and services aimed at, but also custom- made for, blocking websites, mass surveillance, monitoring all internet traffic and (mobile) communications, breaking into private conversations and transcribing them, filtering search results, and intimidating internet users including human rights defenders; believes telecommunications and internet service providers and software developers must learn the lessons of past mistakes, ~~such as Vodafone's decision to give in to demands from the Egyptian authorities in the last weeks of the Mubarak regime to suspend services and to disseminate pro- government propaganda~~and should engage with policymakers, NGOs and activists in an open dialogue in order to set common minimum standards for human rights impact assessments and increased transparency; Amendment 293 # Marietje SCHAAKE, Edward McMILLAN-SCOTT, Baroness LUDFORD, Sarah Motion for a resolution Paragraph 71 71.

Welcomes the inclusion of a ban on the export of technologies and services in the EU's restrictive measures against the governing authorities in Syria; notes that this ban should become a precedent for future restrictive measures against other repressive regimes, in particular towards Iran; notes however that EU policies should be precise to be effective and not to hurt human rights defenders; Amendment 295 # Marietje SCHAAKE, Edward McMILLAN-SCOTT, Leonidas DONSKIS, Baroness LUDFORD, Sarah Motion for a resolution Paragraph 72 72. Notes that new technologies also allow witnesses and human rights defenders to collect information and share documentation of human rights abuses which may later be used to secure justice for victims; ~~calls on the EU to work with the Global Network Initiative~~welcomes multi-stakeholder initiatives and codes of conduct such as the Global Network Initiative; notes however that democratic oversight and the defence and promotion of fundamental rights are core tasks of government; calls on the Commission to support the development and dissemination of digital security technologies to empower human rights defenders through secure collection, encryption and storage mechanisms for such sensitive records and the use of ‘'cloud’' technology to ensure such material cannot be discovered and deleted; ~~calls in particular on the Commission to examine and support the development of open- source technologies such as that developed by the Martus Project supported by the US State Department;~~ source: PE-480.864

Is of the opinion that further reorganisation of the Parliament working methods should be considered; repeats that substantial savings could be made by having a single seat for the European Parliament; stresses that the European Parliament should have the right to decide its own working arrangements; calls on the Secretary-General to implement a possible revision of the calendar for committee meetings and delegation missions; furthermore, calls on the Secretary-General to examine possible further opportunities for savings regarding delegations; if such changes can be implemented in 2012, requests that the administration provides the Committee on Budgets with a record of savings generated in 2012 in these areas. source: PE-483.863

Amendment 14 # Marietje SCHAAKE, Edward McMILLAN-SCOTT Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 – point e (e) in order to achieve these objectives, the EUSR, while acting under the authority of the High Representative, should be granted a strong, independent and flexible mandate not defined by narrow and specific thematic responsibilities but rather allowing the EUSR to act swiftly and effectively; in line with the actions and priorities set out in the Action Plan, the EUSR for HR should also address different horizontal issues contributing to more effective and coherent action in EU external policies; the scope of the EUSR's mandate should be fully in line with the principles of universality and indivisibility of human rights and fundamental freedoms, and to the policy objectives laid down in Article 21 of TEU and should cover, inter alia, strengthening democracy and institution building, international justice, international humanitarian law, abolition of the death penalty, human rights defenders, freedom of religion or belief, freedom of expression (including on the internet), child protection, gender issues, persons with disabilities, as well as women, peace and security; source: PE-489.532

Amendment 129 # Alexander ALVARO, Göran FÄRM, Edward McMILLAN-SCOTT, Anna Maria CORAZZA BILDT, Ashley FOX, Lidia Joanna GERINGER de OEDENBERG, Bart STAES, Diane DODDS, Ulrike LUNACEK, Dan JØRGENSEN, Krzysztof LISEK, Judith A. MERKIES, Marisa MATIAS, Lara COMI, Isabelle DURANT, Oldřich VLASÁK, Nils TORVALDS, Jan MULDER, George LYON, Mário DAVID Motion for a resolution Paragraphs 77 a, b, c, d, e, f, g (new) Working arrangements of the Parliament 77a. Believes that, like every directly elected parliament, the Parliament should have the right to decide on its own seat and working place arrangements; 77b. Declares therefore that the Parliament's seat and places of work for Members and officials should be decided upon by the Parliament itself; 77c. Urges the two arms of the budgetary authority (the Council and the Parliament), in order to make financial savings and promote a more sustainable climate- and environment friendly solution, to raise the issue of a single seat and Parliament's working places for Members and officials in the upcoming negotiations on the next MFF for 2014- 2020; 77d. Urges the Member States to revise the issue of the Parliament's seat and working places in the next revision of the Treaty by amending protocol 6; 77e. Calls in the meantime on the Council and the Parliament to start elaborating a road-map towards a single seat and a more efficient use of the Parliament's working places, taking into account specific up to date figures detailing the cost of each place of work and working conditions for staff, as well as economic, societal and environmental factors - to be presented in a report by 30 June 2013; 77f. Believes that, as the most viable place for Parliament's seat would be Brussels, co-located alongside Council, Commission and the EEAS, such a road- map should also include a reasonable solution for Strasbourg and Luxemburg so as to avoid, to the extent possible, any loss of jobs and income for citizens and local and regional authorities in those places of work; such a solution could preferably entail locating other institutions permanently to Strasbourg and Luxemburg that could make full use of the Parliament's buildings; 77g. Suggests that the agreement between the authorities in Luxembourg and the Parliament, on the number of staff to be present in Luxembourg, should be revised taking into account a revision of the Parliament's needs; source: PE-497.798
