Amendment 29 #
Proposal for a regulation – amending act Recital 5 a (new) (5a) Extending the geographical coverage of Regulation (EC) No 1934/2006 brings the developing countries concerned within the scope of two different external action financial instruments. Care should be taken to ensure that these two financial instruments are kept strictly separate from each other. Measures which fulfil the criteria established by the OECD for official development assistance (ODA) will be financed under Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006, whereas Regulation (EC) No1934/2006 will apply exclusively to measures which do not fulfil those criteria. It is also necessary to ensure that the countries previously falling within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 1934/2006, in other words industrialised and other high-income countries and territories, are not placed at a disadvantage, particularly in financial terms, by the extension of that regulation's geographical coverage.
Amendment 30 #
Proposal for a regulation – amending act Recital 5 b (new) (5b) Since the economic crisis has placed budgets under extreme strain throughout the European Union and the proposed extension embraces countries which sometimes demonstrate a similar level of competitiveness to the Union and have attained an average standard of living which approaches that of some Member States, EU assistance should be proportionate to the efforts made by the recipient countries to comply with ILO international agreements and participate in the general objectives of greenhouse gas emissions reduction.

The annual appropriations shall be authorised by the budgetary authority within the limits of the financial framework. Care should also be taken to ensure that the industrialised and other high-income countries and territories listed in Annex I are not placed at a disadvantage by the application of the present regulation to the partner countries listed in Annex II.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 (5) In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Regulation and to avoid unfair competition or discrimination between farmers, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission in respect of: the fixation of the annual national ceiling for the basic payment scheme; the adoption of rules on applications for allocation of payment entitlements; the adoption of measures regarding the reversion of non- activated payment entitlements to the national reserve; the adoption of requirements related to the notification of transfer of payment entitlements to the national authorities and the deadlines within which such notification are to take place; the setting out of the annual ceiling for the payment for agricultural practi
Amendment 202 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 21 (21) Due to the successive integration of various sectors into the single payment scheme and the ensuing period of adjustment granted to farmers, it has become increasingly difficult to justify the presence of significant individual differences in the level of support per hectare resulting from use of historical references. Therefore direct income support should be more equitably distributed between Member States, by reducing the link to historical references and having regard to the overall context of the Union budget. To ensure a more equal distribution of direct support, while taking account of the differences that still exist in wage levels and input costs, the levels of direct support per hectare should be progressively adjusted. Member States with direct payments below the level of 90 % of the average should close one third of the gap between their current level and this level.

Motion for a resolution Recital I a (new) Ia. Whereas legal insecurity on investment is a key disincentive factor for SMEs when it comes to internationalization, being absolutely necessary to have a legal framework with our trade partners in order to guarantee that legal security, the EU must defend the interests of the European companies, especially SMEs, to violations of legal security of investments in non-EU countries.
Amendment 23 #

Amendment 69 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 6. Recognises that even though the average tariffs on transatlantic trade in goods are comparatively low, there is an interest in both the EU and US business communities to eliminate remaining tariffs; takes the view, however, that a tariff-only free trade agreement would not be ambitious enough; supports the goal proposed by the HLWG of eliminating all duties on bilateral trade, with the objective of achieving a substantial elimination of tariffs upon entry into force of the agreement

Amendment 79 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 8 8. Recognises that unnecessary differences and overly burdensome regulatory standards serve as significant barriers to trade, and that additional growth could follow from addressing such barriers; underlines the need to avoid creating new (even if unintended) barriers to trade and investment, especially in key emerging technologies and innovative sectors; supports efforts towards upstream regulatory cooperation on standards, regulatory coherence, and better alignment of standards, to further promote trade and growth that could improve efficiency and effectively address NTBs; reinforces the HLWG's claim that any deal negotiated that would exclude regulatory cooperation and reform would be economically insignificant and politically untenable on both sides;

Amendment 98 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 13. Calls on both parties to open up further their respective public procurement markets to each other in order to ensure full reciprocity and transparency, and supports the goal proposed by the HLWG of enhancing business opportunities through substantially improved access to public procurement opportunities at all levels of government on the basis of national treatment; understands that US public procurement jurisdiction falls also under individual states; takes the position, however, that to under-stress the opening of EU and US public procurement markets would risk the comprehensiveness of the treaty, therefore echoes the call of the 22 February 2012 bipartisan US Senate letter which strongly urges action in further opening public procurement markets; recalls the significance for transatlantic trade of open procurement markets that offer equal access to all suppliers, in particular to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs); reiterates the view that EU SMEs should have the same level of advantages and possibilities as regards public tenders in the US as they enjoy inside the EU, and reminds that the HLWG has specifically identified horizontal provisions on SMEs as an area with a high possibility of receiving transatlantic support;
