Motion for a resolution Paragraph 3 3. Stresses that decarbonising transport is one of the main challenges of future EU transport policy and that all available, sustainable means should be used in order to achieve this, such as an energy mix, price formation measures and internalising external costs of all modes of transport, provided that the ensuing revenue is used to improve the sustainability of mobility and measures are taken to adapt the behaviour of transport users and professionals (awareness-raising, environmentally friendly behaviour, etc.); underlines that, to this end, the priority development of financial incentives, ruling out any distortions of competition in the process, should be preferred to the imposition of sanctions;

Underlines that the funds generated by the auctioning of CO2 allowances and by the ETS in the air transport sector could be used to finance, first and foremost, the projects designed to specifically reduce emissions in the sector (Clean Sky, biofuels, Single Sky);
Amendment 105 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 3 a (new) 3a. Stresses that promoting safety in all modes of transport must be a priority and represents a major challenge; is convinced in particular that, in order to improve the safety of road transport in Europe, the EU must propose an ambitious road safety action programme for 2020, notably through vigorous actions to combat speeding and drink and drug driving; states that the EU must make a firm commitment to improve road safety among young drivers and motorcycle users; states that it must also propose solutions to ensure better protection for vulnerable users and, to this end, be consistent with the urban mobility action plan; stresses, lastly, that the EU must ensure that all those guilty of road traffic offences are charged, irrespective of the Member State in which the offence is committed (Commission proposal on the cross-border application of sanctions);

Draft directive Recital 2 a (new) (2a) Article 3(2) of the Treaty on European Union provides that ‘The Union shall offer its citizens an area of freedom, security and justice without internal frontiers, in which the free movement of persons is ensured in conjunction with appropriate measures with respect to external border controls, asylum, immigration and the prevention and combating of crime’.
Amendment 108 #
Draft directive Recital 8 a (new) (8a) Taking into consideration the different judicial systems in the Member States, it seems appropriate to provide a high degree of flexibility in the cooperation mechanism between the Member States under this directive. Following receipt of a European protection order, the executing State, while under a general obligation to act, should be allowed to give effect to this in the way which is most appropriate in the light of its own legal system, and to take any corresponding measures guaranteeing the same level of protection under its national law in a similar case in order to ensure the protection of the protected person. This may mean that the measure adopted in the executing State is conceptually and legally independent of the original protection measure taken by the issuing State and underlying the European protection order.
Amendment 111 #
Draft directive Recital 8 b (new) (8b) The competent authority of the executing State should inform the person causing danger, the competent authority of the issuing State and the protected person of any measure taken on the basis of the European protection order. In the notification to the person causing danger due regard should be paid to the interest of the protected person in not having his/her address or other contact details disclosed. Such details should be excluded from the notification, provided that the address or other contact details are not included already in the obligation or prohibition imposed as an enforcement measure on the person causing danger.

Where the competent authority of the issuing State transmits the European protection order to the competent authority of the executing State, it shall do so by any means which leaves a written record so as to allow the competent authority of the executing Member State to establish its authenticity. All formal communications must also be conducted directly between the said competent authorities.

Amendment 184 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 30 a (new) 30a. Considers that the European Union is founded on cultural and linguistic diversity and that it is therefore important to promote access to tourist sites by providing visitors with tools for facilitating their visit and helping them to understand, such as audioguides or brochures offering explanations in at least two EU official languages, particularly where the sites visited are receiving structural funding;

Amendment 44 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 1 (1) The European Union has set itself the objective of maintaining and developing an area of freedom, security and justice, facilitating access to justice, in particular through the principle of mutual recognition of judicial and extra-judicial decisions in civil matters. In order to establish progressively such an area, the Union should adopt, amongst other things, measures relating to judicial cooperation in civil matters, particularly when necessary for the proper functioning of the internal market and for the full exercise by EU citizens of their right to move and reside freely in the territory of the Member States.
Amendment 45 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 a (new) (2a) In accordance with the Stockholm Programme, adopted by the European Council at its meeting on 10 and 11 December 2009, and the Commission action plan implementing that Programme, mutual recognition could extend to all types of judgments and decisions of a judicial nature, which may, depending on the legal system in question, be either criminal or administrative. The Programme also calls on the Commission and the Member States to examine how to improve legislation and practical support measures for the protection of victims. It also emphasises that victims of crime can be offered special protection measures which should be effective throughout the Union.
Amendment 49 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 13 a (new) (13a) In the context of implementation of this Regulation, the competent authorities should give appropriate consideration to the needs of victims, and notably those of particularly vulnerable persons, such as minors or persons with disabilities, and take due account of the necessary assistance as proposed by the Member States.
Amendment 50 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 13 b (new) (13b) In the context of implementation of this Regulation, Member States should take the necessary steps to ensure that the protected person does not have to meet the financial costs connected with recognition of the protection measure in another Member State.
Amendment 51 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 13 c (new) (13c) Member States should foster as much direct contact as possible between the competent authorities in the context of implementation of this Regulation, and should promote regular training for judicial authorities and other competent authorities likely to come into contact with victims or potential victims, so that they can offer them adequate assistance.
Amendment 53 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 1 This Regulation applies to protection measures taken in civil matters whatever the nature of the authority. It does not apply to protection measures covered by Regulation (EC) No 2201/2003, or to the protection measures covered by Directive [...] of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European protection order.

25 amendments...
Amendment 52 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 1 a (new) (1a) The Treaty of Maastricht (1992) introduced the concept of ‘citizenship of the Union’, conferring on every citizen of the Union the right to move and reside freely within the territory of the Union, the right to vote and to stand as a candidate at municipal elections and in elections to the European Parliament in the Member State in which he or she resides, protection by the diplomatic or consular authorities of any Member State, the right to petition the European Parliament and to apply to the European Ombudsman, as well as a series of rights in various fields such as the free movement of goods and services, consumer protection and public health, equal opportunities and equal treatment, access to employment and to social protection. The Treaty of Amsterdam (1997) further strengthened the rights associated with Union citizenship.
Amendment 56 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 3 (3) The rights inherent to citizenship of the Union are incorporated in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. According to the Charter's Preamble, the Union ‘is founded on the indivisible and universal values of human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity (...) contributes to the preservation and to the development of these common values’ and 'places the individual at the heart of its activities, by establishing
Amendment 66 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 5 a (new) (5a) Citizenship of the Union is not limited to exercising the right to free movement and residence in another Member State. The Union confers a broad range of rights which all citizens should be able to know and exercise freely. Citizens should be given information on all means of redress should their rights not be respected.
Amendment 72 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 6 a (new) (6a) The right to free movement and residence should be upheld in each Member State, without any discrimination of any kind, as laid down by Article 21 in conjunction with Article 45 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights.
Amendment 73 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 7 (7) In particular, free movement and workers' mobility help addressing the consequences of demographic change on the labour market, while also increasing the employability of people and improving the competitiveness of European industries. At the same time, free movement either enables, as an essential condition, or stimulates the exercise by citizens of a broad range of rights available to them under Union law, such as their rights as consumers to access goods and services or their rights as passengers and tourists or their rights as a person subject to the law. Facilitating free movement has therefore the potential to enhance citizens' possibilities to fully benefit from the single market, whilst being a key driver for growth.
Amendment 77 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 9 (9) Despite the fact that the right to free movement and residence is firmly anchored in primary Union law and substantially developed in secondary law, a gap still remains between the applicable legal rules and the reality confronting citizens when they seek to exercise this right in practice. Aside from an uncertainty over the advantages of being mobile, Union citizens
Amendment 91 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 12a (new) (12a.) To facilitate the free exercise of these rights, information centres, with transparent and easily accessible websites, should be set up, particularly in cross- border regions. The European public, particularly citizens in cross-border regions, should also be made aware of the job prospects and work mobility opportunities offered by the European Job Mobility Portal and the EURES network.
Amendment 92 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 12b (new) (12b.) All the existing websites set up by the Commission to inform citizens must be simplified to make them more accessible and to facilitate mobility for citizens. The Commission should take steps to ensure that all of these information sources are multilingual in nature.
Amendment 98 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 14 a (new) (14a.) In this context, efforts should also be made to better inform the public, as citizens subject to trial, of their rights, in connection with the Stockholm programme and the establishment of a European area of justice. They should thereby gain a better understanding of the legal system and how to use it, the right to information in legal proceedings and the right to a legal defence, so as to ensure that they may exercise their rights throughout the Union. They should also be made aware of their rights in the event of cross-border legal disputes, particularly binational divorce.
Amendment 99 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 14 b (new) (14b.) EU citizens should thus be made aware of the European E-justice Portal, which provides information of legal systems and how to use them in all Member States, in the 22 official languages.
Amendment 101 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 15 (15)
Amendment 105 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 16a (new) (16a.) With a view to fostering a sense of belonging to the Union amongst its citizens, and to making them more mobile, it is essential to strengthen initiatives designed to facilitate meetings and exchanges between them and to promote dialogue and mutual understanding, particularly mobility programmes such as the European Lifelong Learning programme, the ‘Europe for Citizens’ programme and the ‘Youth on the Move’ initiative, and to raise public awareness of them.
Amendment 108 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 17 (17) A European Year of Citizens in 2013 will provide a very timely opportunity to raise the awareness of the general public about the rights attached to Union citizenship
Amendment 112 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 19a (new) (19a.) As part of the European Year of Citizens, the Commission and the Member States undertake to improve the quality of information on the Union, particularly that provided via the media, and promote media programmes concerning the Union and EU citizenship and the attendant rights.
Amendment 113 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 22 (22) The primary responsibility for raising citizens' awareness of their rights as Union citizens rests with Member States, at national, regional and local level; action at Union level complements and supplements national actions in this respect, as highlighted in the political declaration ‘Communicating Europe in Partnership’ signed on 22 October 2008 by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission.
Amendment 115 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 25 (25) Union funding for other activities than those funded under the budget of the European Year may be given through existing Union programmes or the Structural Funds, in particular the ‘Europe for Citizens’ programme and the ‘Fundamental Rights and Citizenship’ programme, the ‘Lifelong Learning’ programme, the ‘Youth on the Move’ initiative and the ‘MEDIA’ programme,

Actions covered by this Regulation should contribute to the creation of a European area of justice by promoting the principle of mutual recognition, developing mutual trust between the Member States, increasing cross-border cooperation and networking and developing e-justice and achieving correct, coherent and consistent application of Union law. Funding activities should also contribute to achieving effective and better knowledge of Union law and policies by all those concerned, and provide a sound analytical basis for the support and the development of Union legislation and policies. Union intervention allows for those actions to be pursued consistently across the Union and brings economies of scale. Moreover the Union is in a better position than Member States to address cross-border situations and to provide a European platform for mutual learning.

Proposal for a regulation Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.3 – point a – paragraph 2 a (new) Finally, it has been proven over many years that motor vehicle emissions have an impact on public health. Consequently, reducing particulate emissions must continue to be one of the European Union’s priority objectives in the field of transport. To this end, it is essential to pursue this policy, focusing in particular on the development of alternative fuels. It is also essential to invest in innovative solutions to reduce noise pollution and vibrations. The development of alternative fuels and innovatory solutions to cut noise pollution and vibrations will help limit harmful emissions and improve the well- being of the community.
