2011/0299(COD) Trans-European telecommunications networks: guidelines
2012/03/19
ENVI
11 amendments...
Amendment 15 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 (4) The Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions -European Broadband: investing in digitally driven growth9 concludes that the critical role of the internet means that the benefits for society as a whole appear to be much greater than the private incentives to invest in faster networks. Public support for this area is therefore necessary, but should not unduly distort competition.
Amendment 16 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 10 (10) Substantial economic and social benefits, which cannot be captured nor monetised by investors, are associated with higher broadband speeds. Fast and ultra- fast broadband is the key enabling infrastructure for the development and deployment of digital services, which rely on the availability, speed, reliability and resilience of the physical networks. The deployment and take-up of faster networks opens the way for innovative services exploiting higher speeds. Action at Union level is necessary to maximise the synergies and interactions between those two components of digital telecommunications networks. Universal access to broadband networks is essential for the growth of modern economies and for individual wellbeing and digital inclusion. Extension of broadband networks in rural and economically and socially less-favoured areas will facilitate better communications, particularly for persons with reduced mobility or living in isolated conditions, as well as improving access to services and encouraging the development of SMEs in rural areas, thereby helping to create new jobs and develop new services in these localities;
Amendment 17 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 13 (13) The use of information technology and communications facilitates a structural adjustment towards goods and services which consume less resources, energy savings in buildings and electricity networks and the development of more efficient and lower-energy intelligent transport systems. The development of broadband networks and digital service infrastructures will contribute to the Union's objective to reduce greenhouse gas emission by enabling energy-efficient solutions in many sectors of Europe's economy. This positive effect will be limited, but only to some extent, by the growing energy and resource demand related mainly to the construction of broadband networks and the operation of digital service infrastructures.
Amendment 18 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 24 a (new) (24a) In the implementation of this Regulation, any processing of personal data should be carried out in accordance with Union law, as set out, in particular, in 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 and Directive 2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 July 2002 concerning the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector (Directive on privacy and electronic communications) .
Amendment 23 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 4 – point b (b) the deployment of broadband networks to link island, landlocked and peripheral regions, rural areas and economically and socially less-favoured regions with the central regions of the Union ensuring in those regions that speeds of data transmission are sufficient to permit broadband connectivity of 30 Mbps and above;
Amendment 25 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 5 – paragraph 2 2. A project of common interest may encompass its entire cycle, including feasibility studies, implementation, continuous operation, coordination and evaluation. Projects of common interest should respect the principle of technology neutrality, which forms the basis of the EU electronic communications structure.
Amendment 27 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 5 – paragraph 8 – point c (c) demonstrates European added value following a feasibility study and cost- benefit analysis.
Amendment 28 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 7 – paragraph 2 2. The Commission shall be assisted by an Expert Group, composed of a representative of each Member State, for monitoring of the implementation of these guidelines, assisting in the planning through the national strategies for high speed internet and mapping of infrastructures, and exchanging information. The Commission, together with the Expert Group, shall evaluate whether the scope of projects of common interest continues to reflect political priorities, technological development or the situation on the relevant markets, as well as new opportunities to exploit synergies between the different types of infrastructure.

ENVI
13 amendments...
Amendment 80 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 (2) In order to allow for independent control as to whether these principles are adhered to, a clinical trial should be subject to prior authorisation, and approval by an ethics committee prior to commencement.
Amendment 91 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 (8) The timelines for assessing an application dossier for clinical trials should be sufficiently long to assess the file, while ensuring quick access to new, innovative treatments and ensuring that the Union remains an attractive place for conducting clinical trials. Against this background, Directive 2001/20/EC introduced the concept of tacit authorisation. This concept should be maintained in order to ensure that timelines are adhered to, unless Member States indicate that exceptional circumstances apply which justify minimal delays. In the event of a public health crisis, Member States should have the possibility to assess and authorise a clinical trial application swiftly. No minimal timelines for approval should therefore be established.

2012/0337(COD) General Union Environment Action Programme to 2020: 'Living well, within the limits of our planet'
2013/03/27
ENVI
9 amendments...
Amendment 151 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – point 16 16. The EU’s economic prosperity and well-being is underpinned by its natural capital, which includes ecosystems that provide essential goods and services, from fertile soil and multi-functional forests to productive land and seas, from fresh water and clean air to pollination, flood control and climate regulation and protection against natural disasters. A substantial body of EU legislation seeks to protect, conserve and enhance natural capital, including the Water Framework Directive (WFD) , the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) , the Urban Wastewater Directive1, the Nitrates Directive2, the Air Quality and related directives and the Habitats and Birds Directives . Legislation to tackle climate change, chemicals, industrial emissions and waste also contribute to easing the pressures on biodiversity, including ecosystems, species and habitats. __________________ 1 Directive 91/271/EEC. 2 Directive 91/676/EEC.
Amendment 212 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – point 26 – subparagraph 2 – point f (f) Taking further steps to reduce emissions of nitrogen and phosphorus, including those from urban and industrial wastewater
Amendment 272 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – point 38 38. Turning waste into a resource, as called for in the Resource Efficiency Roadmap, requires the full implementation of EU waste legislation across the EU, based on strict application of the waste hierarchy and covering different types of waste . Additional efforts are needed to: reduce per capita waste generation in absolute terms, limit energy recovery to non-recyclable materials, phase out landfilling, ensure high quality recycling, and develop markets for secondary raw materials. Hazardous waste will need to be managed so as to minimise significant adverse effects on human health and the environment, as agreed at the Rio+20 Summit. To achieve this, a combination of various market-based instruments that privilege prevention, recycling and re-use should be applied much more systematically across the EU. Barriers facing recycling activities in the EU internal market should be removed and existing prevention, re-use, recycling, recovery and landfill diversion targets reviewed so as to move towards a ‘circular’ economy, with a cascading use of resources and residual waste close to zero.
