Amendment 3 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 a (new) 3a. Points out that the Court of Auditors also criticised the pre-accession assistance to Turkey in its Special Report No 16/2009, finding weaknesses in relation to implementation, monitoring and evaluation, inter alia; points out, further, that Turkey has failed to meet many of the conditions for the opening of new negotiating chapters; proposes, consequently, that the pre-accession assistance to Turkey should be reviewed and possibly cut or stopped;

2009/2096(INI) A sustainable future for transport
2010/03/02
REGI
3 amendments...
Amendment 5 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 2. Notes that an integrated approach to infrastructure planning, project financing and development can play a central role in developing a competitive and sustainable transport sector; stresses that the regions and local authorities should already take on responsibility in a preventive role by ensuring at the planning stage (residential areas/work/leisure facilities) that sensible structures are created that will minimise, or at least reduce, the volume of traffic (especially cars) from the outset; stresses that local and regional authorities often cannot meet transport challenges without co-operation, calling therefore for their and the stakeholders’ active involvement in the policy development and implementation process;
Amendment 33 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 6 6. Notes that rail liberalisation is linked with the challenge of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector as a whole and promoting regional development; notes however, that liberalisation should not have the unintended consequence of making rail transport less competitive vis-a-vis road transport and that due regard must be given to ensuring that peripheral regions do not lose rail connectivity; stresses also the need for improved consumer protection in rail transport, in particular to ensure the provision of sufficient consumer information about legal redress and compensation in the event of long delays on train journeys;
Amendment 35 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 7 7. Stresses in general terms the central role of multimodal transport, and especially of shipping as an environmentally friendly and sustainable form of transport; stresses specifically the importance of short-sea shipping as a sustainable mode of transport which can also improve the connectivity and development of peripheral and outermost regions;

2009/2151(INI) Report on the Commission communication: 'A community approach on the prevention of natural and man made disasters'
2010/02/03
REGI
3 amendments...
Amendment 3 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 1. Stresses the crucial role played by regional and local authorities in the disaster management cycle; strongly believes that active involvement of those authorities in the design and implementation of disaster prevention strategies is the best way to ensure that the most effective and functional solutions are devised; stresses also the importance of consulting and involving public and private stakeholders in this process; regards it as particularly important, in the context of disaster management, to encourage volunteering and to involve volunteers at all levels;
Amendment 9 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 2. Takes the view that only a common strategy and coordinated actions between the different sectors and the different actors involved in the disaster management cycle can lead to real advances in the field of disaster prevention; calls on the Member States to foster cooperation to this end at national, regional and local level; with a view to learning from the experience gained, a single European database should be established, early-warning systems shoud be improved and targeted support should be given to research in this area;
Amendment 22 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 4 4. Supports the Commission’s initiative aimed at assessing the possibility of improving the integration of disaster prevention in the Operational Programmes set up for the period 2007-2013, and calls on the Member States to make use of the structural funds directly allocated to risk prevention so that actions in this field are taken without delay during the current programming period; recalls, however, the need for coordinated action in this respect; regards it as essential, therefore, as part of an integrated approach in the context of the European Year of Volunteering 2011, to create conditions conducive to formalising and/or developing cooperation and exchanges of experience between existing national and regional voluntary aid organisations;

2009/2175(INI) New developments in public procurement
2010/02/02
REGI
2 amendments...
Amendment 9 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 3. Considers that it is not only costs and complexity which can be prohibitive, but also the time needed to complete the public procurement process, not least because the lengthy appeal procedures are obstructed by various actors, and for this reason, calls for e-procurement and the standardisation of forms to be stepped up; hence welcomes the fact that the recovery plan makes it possible to apply accelerated versions of the procedures outlined in the public procurement directives to major public projects specifically in 2009 and 2010; calls on the Member States to support and assist local authorities in using these new procedures, in each case in compliance with the standard public procurement rules and regulations;
Amendment 17 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 5. Recognises the right of local and regional authorities to decide democratically on the best means of delivering public services, including decisions to use companies they own or control; believes that even without compulsory tendering inter-communal cooperation for service delivery should be accepted as a legitimate way of delivering in-house services and that sub-national actors should be able to assign tasks relating to service provision to companies they own or control, provided that those companies do not compete on external markets; proposes that the Commission should assess whether there is any remaining legal uncertainty regarding the concepts of ‘public authority’ and ‘in-

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 7 7. Regrets the fact that the Sixth progress report from the Commission on economic and social cohesion does not include specific qualitative and quantitative data on the short-term and long-term impact of the financial and economic crisis in the EU regions, particularly with regard to the most significant economic and social indicators; therefore calls on the Commission to present a special report/study on the effects of the financial and economic crisis in the EU regions, in particular the Objective 2 regions; those evaluations must be carried out without delay in order to be able to counter undesirable developments;

2010/0115(NLE) Guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States. Part II of the Europe 2020 Integrated Guidelines

Proposal for a decision Recital 8 (8) As part of comprehensive ‘exit strategies’ for the economic crisis, Member States
Amendment 93 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 11 (11) Member States’ reform programmes should also aim at ‘inclusive growth’. Inclusive growth means building a cohesive society in which people are empowered to anticipate and manage change, thus to actively participate in society and economy. Member States’ reforms should therefore ensure access and opportunities for all throughout the lifecycle, thus reducing poverty and social exclusion, through removing barriers to labour market participation especially for women, older workers, young people, disabled and
Amendment 109 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 12 a (new) (12a) Member States should gear their national objectives to raising the employment rate of both women and men to 75% by 2020, in particular by increasing the employment of young people, older workers and people with disabilities. In addition, Member States should gear their national objectives to increasing the proportion of women and men in the age group 20 to 24 who are undergoing training or are employed to 90%.
Amendment 116 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 13 a (new) (13a) In order to attain this objective, the Member States should commit themselves to promoting growth and increasing the potential for innovation of industry – particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) – especially by providing them with financial incentives to create new jobs and by relieving industry of administrative and non-tariff barriers. In order to ease access to the labour market for women and young people, the preconditions should be created for adequate child care provision so that every child of pre-school age can be provided with a place where they can be looked after outside the family; moreover, every young person should be provided with a job or a training/further training opportunity within six months of completing their schooling, which should be arranged in close cooperation with the social partners.
Amendment 122 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 14 a (new) (14a) Member States should increase the employment rate by means of activation measures, particularly for less highly qualified people, by means of occupational guidance, by means of training and upgrading of skills to meet the needs of the labour market, and by means of subsidised jobs for people with disabilities and people in need of special protection. Insofar as the labour market situation permits, Member States should increase the employability of immigrants who are already in the country by means of appropriate programmes. In addition, innovative programmes are needed to reintegrate people with disabilities into the labour market. Moreover, Member States should eliminate obstacles which make it more difficult to enter working life for the first time, and they should support job creation and social innovation and improve the quality of employment services. In particular, employment regulations should become more flexible, permitting working practices which correspond to the need to reconcile family life and work and permitting more flexible retirement arrangements. Opportunities to re-enter employment after a protracted interruption of working life occasioned by childcare responsibilities should also be improved. Flexicurity strategies to increase flexibility, in order to be able to respond more efficiently to production cycles, should be more effectively guaranteed by means of active labour market policy and appropriate social protection systems, so that moving between jobs does not result in disproportionate financial sacrifices. This should be supplemented by an unequivocal commitment to active assistance in finding work. New forms of employment such as atypical temporary work, part-time work and home work are becoming increasingly common, although no legislation exists to regulate them. They should not as a result reduce the social security of the persons concerned.
Amendment 126 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 15 a (new) (15a) In this context full use should be made of the resources of the European Social Fund to increase employability by means of measures to develop personal skills and meet the quality requirements applicable in occupations with a promising future. In order to promote occupational mobility, it is necessary for the Member States to improve willingness to be mobile by means of incentives, particularly measures to optimise public passenger transport between conurbations.

Amendment 113 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 3 a (new) 3a. Points out that there are a number of reasons for the serious poverty experienced by immigrants in the European Union: on the one hand, because of the current economic situation there are not enough decent jobs available, and, on the other, immigrants are often sorely lacking in qualifications, language skills and willingness to integrate; emphasises that if poverty in the European Union is to be combated, more targeted immigration is needed; takes the view that unskilled immigrants with little chance of finding a job should be barred from entering the European Union, so that the problems of unemployment, poverty and social exclusion are dealt with even before they arise;
Amendment 146 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 5. Believes that the various experiments with minimum incomes, accompanied by social integration measures, show that this is a further essential way of combating poverty and social exclusion; therefore calls on the European Commission to prepare an initiative supporting these experiments, taking into account best practices and ensuring an adequate minimum income throughout the European Union as a means to prevent poverty and guarantee social justice and equal opportunities for all, in keeping with the subsidiarity principle and without calling into question the specific situations in each Member State;

Draft opinion Paragraph 7 c (new) 7c. Points out that, in the context of globalisation, the EU's future competitiveness can be guaranteed only if targeted efforts are made to create the greatest possible mass of skills among workers in the EU area; considers that the EGF must accordingly also help to bridge periods of unemployment in a constructive way through intensive further training and retraining measures;
Amendment 40 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 7 d (new) 7d. Points out, further, that in many cases wide disparities (wage levels, social benefits, etc.) also exist on labour markets in individual Member States within the EU, particularly between western and eastern Europe; notes that these disparities lead to mass redundancies in those Member States where labour market conditions are less favourable for business; considers that these cases of redundancies due to globalisation should also be covered by the EGF as events eligible for support;

Amendment 64 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 15 (15) The likelihood of diverging regulation is further increased by concerns over tobacco products, including smokeless tobacco products, having a characterising flavour other than tobacco, which may facilitate uptake of tobacco consumption or affect consumption patterns. For example, in many countries, sales of mentholated products gradually increased even as smoking prevalence overall declined. A number of studies indicated that mentholated tobacco products can facilitate inhalation

Proposal for a directive Recital 22 (22) The labelling provisions also need to be adapted to new scientific evidence.

Evidence also suggests that large combined health warnings are more effective than text-only warnings. In this light combined health warnings should become mandatory throughout the Union and cover
Amendment 85 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 23 (23) In order to ensure the integrity and the visibility of health warnings and maximise their efficacy, provisions should be made regarding the dimension of the warnings as well as regarding certain aspects of the appearance of the tobacco package, including the opening mechanism.

For instance, this is the case with certain texts or features, such as ‘low-tar’, ‘light’, ‘ultra-light’, ‘mild’,
