37	2009/0108(COD) Energy policy: measures to safeguard security of gas supply (repeal. Directive 2004/67/EC) 2009/12/17 AFET 12 amendments... Amendment 24 # Takis HADJIGEORGIOU Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 (4) However, under the current measures regarding the security of gas supply that have been taken at Community level, Member States still enjoy a large margin of discretion as to the choice of measures. Where the security of supply of a Member State is threatened, there is a clear risk that measures developed unilaterally by that Member State may jeopardise the proper functioning of the internal gas market. Recent experience has demonstrated the reality of that risk. To allow the internal gas market to function even in the face of a shortage of supply, it is therefore necessary to provide for a more coordinated response to supply crises, both concerning preventive action and the reaction to concrete disruptions of supply. However, it is critically important that Member States should retain responsibility for their security of supply and should continue to be able to develop measures according to their special characteristics. Amendment 25 # Takis HADJIGEORGIOU, Nikolaos CHOUNTIS Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 a (new) (4a) Recognising the central role played by international cooperation in ensuring security of gas supply for the citizens of the EU Member States, all relevant EU policies and Action Plans must be based on the principle of mutual respect with the third countries involved; a resolution of any problems that may arise should be sought through political dialogue and negotiations. Amendment 28 # Takis HADJIGEORGIOU, Nikolaos CHOUNTIS Proposal for a regulation Recital 16 (16) Sufficiently harmonised security of supply standards covering at least the situation that occurred in the January 2009, taking into account the difference between Members States, should be defined, ~~without imposing unreasonable and disproportionate burdens on natural gas undertaking including new entrants and small undertakings~~taking into account also the fact that Member States are primarily responsible for supervision of the internal gas market. Amendment 35 # Takis HADJIGEORGIOU, Nikolaos CHOUNTIS Proposal for a regulation Recital 30 (30) Since gas supplies from third countries are central to the security of gas supply of the Community, the Commission should coordinate the actions with regard to third countries, working with producer and transit countries on arrangements to handle crisis situations and to ensure a stable gas flow to the Community. The Commission should be entitled to deploy a task forcebe able to deploy an advisory body to monitor gas flows in crisis situations ~~within and~~, in consultation with the ~~third countries involved, outside the Community and, where a crisis arises due to difficul~~Member States concerned, and to participate in meetings with the competent authorities ~~in a~~of third countr~~y, to assume a mediation and facilitation role~~ies involved when this is deemed necessary. Amendment 38 # Takis HADJIGEORGIOU Proposal for a regulation Article 3 – paragraph 1 1. Security of gas supply is a task ~~of the natural ga~~primarily of the Member States uand~~ertakings,~~ the Competent Authorities of the Member States~~, the industrial gas customers, and the Commission~~. Security of gas supply is also a task of the natural gas undertakings and the industrial gas customers within their respective areas of responsibility. It requires a high degree of cooperation between them. Amendment 45 # Takis HADJIGEORGIOU Proposal for a regulation Article 4 – paragraph 6 6. Within six months after the notification of the Plans by the Competent Authorities, the Commission shall assess the Plans of all Member States. The Commission shall consult ENTSO-G, ACER, the Gas Coordination Group and other concerned stakeholders on those plans.

Within 2 months from notification of the Commission request, the Competent Authority concerned shall amend its Plan and notify the amended Plan to the Commission or shall set out to the Commission why it does not agree with the request.

The Commission shall verify within one week whether the declaration of an Emergency is justified and whether it does not impose an undue burden on the natural gas undertakings and on the functioning of the internal market.

When the Commission considers that in a Community Emergency, an action taken by a Competent Authority or natural gas undertakings is inappropriate to deal with the Emergency, or that it seriously endangers the situation in another Member State, the Commission ~~shall require~~may propose to the Competent Authority or natural gas undertaking tohat it change its action. Within ~~three days~~a reasonable period of time from notification of the Commission's request, the Competent Authority concerned shall change its action and notify the Commission or shall set out to the Commission why it does not agree with the request. In that case, the Commission may amend or withdraw its request. ~~If within three days, the Commission decides not to amend or withdraw its request, the Competent Authority shall comply with the Commission's request without delay.~~ Amendment 57 # Takis HADJIGEORGIOU, Nikolaos CHOUNTIS Proposal for a regulation Article 10 – paragraph 7 7. The Commission shall establish a permanent reserve list for a monitoring task force consisting of industry experts and representatives of ~~the Commission~~all Member States. This monitoring task force may be deployed when necessary and shall monitor and report on the gas flows within and outside the Community, in each case in cooperation with the supplying and transiting countries. Amendment 62 # Takis HADJIGEORGIOU, Nikolaos CHOUNTIS Proposal for a regulation Article 12 – paragraph 6 – point a a) Member States sh~~all submit to~~ould inform the Commission about the existing inter- governmental agreements concluded with third countries which have an impact on the development of gas infrastructures and supplies; ~~before~~after concluding new inter- governmental agreements, the Member States shall inform the Commission ~~to assess their compliance with the internal market legislation~~; source: PE-430.972 2010/01/19 ITRE 13 amendments... Amendment 45 # Takis HADJIGEORGIOU Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 (4) However, under the current measures regarding the security of gas supply that have been taken at ~~Community~~Union level, Member States still enjoy a large margin of discretion as to the choice of measures. Where the security of supply of a Member State is threatened, there is a clear risk that measures developed unilaterally by that Member State may jeopardise the proper functioning of the internal gas market. Recent experience has demonstrated the reality of that risk. To allow the internal gas market to function even in the face of a shortage of supply, it is therefore necessary to provide for a more coordinated response to supply crises, both concerning preventive action and the reaction to concrete disruptions of supply. However it is critical not to jeopardise the ability of Member States to develop measures according to their specific characteristics. Amendment 48 # Takis HADJIGEORGIOU Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 a (new) (4a) In recognition of the central role of international cooperation in securing the gas supply for the citizens of the EU Member States, all relevant EU policies and Action Plans must be based on the principle of mutual respect with the third countries involved; the settlement of any problems that might occur should be sought through political dialogue and negotiations. Amendment 66 # Takis HADJIGEORGIOU Proposal for a regulation Recital 12 (12) This Regulation should ~~enable natural gas undertakings and customers to rely on market mechanisms for as long as possible when coping with disruptions. It should also provide for emergency mechanisms to~~take into consideration the national characteristics of each Member State in the field of gas and provide instruments which would be ubased when markets are no longer able to deal adequately with a gas supply disruption. Even in an Emergency, market based instruments should be given priority to mitigate the effects of the supply disruptionon safeguarding consumer protection and would give priority to mitigating the effects of the supply disruption. However the Member States will continue to be responsible for their security and will enjoy considerable flexibility in the choice of arrangements and instruments to ensure security of supply. Amendment 73 # Takis HADJIGEORGIOU Proposal for a regulation Recital 14 (14) The ~~completion of the~~ internal gas market ~~and effective competition within that market~~ offers the Community the highest level of security of supply for all Member States, provided that the market is allowed to work fully, and safeguards consumers’ interests in case of disruption of supply affecting a part of the Community, whatever the cause of the disruption. To this end, a comprehensive and effective common approach to security of supply is required, particularly through transparent and non-discriminatory policies compatible with the ~~requirements of the market, avoiding market distortions and undermining of market responses to disruptions~~needs and the protection of consumers through controls on prices which, in periods of crisis, tend to increase very sharply owing to reduced supply and increased demand (law of supply and demand). Amendment 83 # Takis HADJIGEORGIOU Proposal for a regulation Recital 19 (19) A large choice of instruments is available to comply with security of supply obligations. These instruments should be used in a national, regional and Community context, as appropriate, so as to provide security primarily for consumers and to ensure that they deliver a consistent and cost-effective result. Amendment 93 # Takis HADJIGEORGIOU Proposal for a regulation Recital 29 (29) This Regulation aims at empowering natural gas undertakings and Competent Authorities of the Member States to ensure that the internal gas market works effectively for as long as possible in the case of a supply disruption, prior to measures being taken by Competent Authorities to address the situation in which the market can no longer deliver the required gas supplies. Such exceptional measures should be fully compliant with Community rules and should be notified to the Commission.deleted Amendment 98 # Takis HADJIGEORGIOU Proposal for a regulation Recital 30 (30) Since gas supplies from third countries are central to the security of gas supply of the ~~Community~~Union, the Commission shcould coordinate the actions with regard to third countries, working with producer and transit countries on arrangements to handle crisis situations and to ensure a stable gas flow to the Community.

Amendment 111 # Takis HADJIGEORGIOU Proposal for a regulation Article 1 This Regulation establishes measures aimed at safeguarding the security of gas supply so as to ensure the proper and continuous functioning of the internal market for gas by always taking the benefit of consumers as a criterion and providing for a clear definition and attribution of responsibilities and for a coordination of the response with transparent procedures at the level of the Member States and the Community regarding both preventive action and the reaction to concrete disruptions of supply. Amendment 125 # Takis HADJIGEORGIOU Proposal for a regulation Article 2 – point 1 (1) "protected customers" means all household customers, small and medium- sized enterprises, schools and hospitals already connected to a gas distribution network, and, if the Member State concerned so decides, can also include ~~small and medium-sized enterprises, schools and hospitals~~any other customers in the public interest provided that they are already connected to a gas distribution network; Amendment 130 # Takis HADJIGEORGIOU Proposal for a regulation Article 3 – paragraph 1 1.

Reiterates that, in order to allow the EU to play an active role in the world, sufficient funds need to be allocated in the EU budget; regrets that the relevant budget continues to be underfunded and expresses its serious concern over the consequences of under-financing for the Union’s ability to conduct a credible and proactive foreign policy; also underlines the need to equip the Union with the necessary financial means for a consistent and adequate response to unforeseen global challenges and, in this regard, looks forward to being consulted on the procedures for granting rapid access to appropriations in the Union budget for urgent financing of CFSP initiatives;deleted Amendment 29 # Willy MEYER, Sabine LÖSING, Takis HADJIGEORGIOU, Nikolaos CHOUNTIS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 a (new) 2a.

Stresses once again that the scope of the report should not be limited simply to a description of CFSP activities but should provide the opportunity to establish a dialogue with the European Parliament aimed at developing a more strategic approach to the CFSP; recommends that the annual CFSP report be turned into a yearly report discussing the implementation of the EU's foreign policy strategy and ~~that more references be made to the budgetary needs and financial impact of external actions in such reporting~~calls for increased transparency in budgetary expenditure related to CFSP activities; Amendment 153 # Willy MEYER, Sabine LÖSING, Takis HADJIGEORGIOU, Nikolaos CHOUNTIS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 32 32.

Considers it essential to ensure cooperation with the countries of origin and transit of refugees through support for regional protection programmes, a suitable resettlement policy, diplomatic representations in third countries and the correct application of exceptions to visa rules to ensure improved access to the Common European Asylum System; in particular of article 25 of the EU Visa Code which allows member states to issue visas for humanitarian reasons. Amendment 13 # Takis HADJIGEORGIOU Draft opinion Paragraph 3 3. Calls on the Member States to provide without delay updated accurate and reliable information and data regarding asylum seekers and asylum-related issues, such as detention centres, facilitating the provision of more reliable statistics and the centralisation of this information through the EASO, providing it with the necessary powers and resources in accordance with its founding regulation; Amendment 17 # Takis HADJIGEORGIOU Draft opinion Paragraph 4 4. Calls for the EUREMA relocation pilot project to be more widely adopted and for Member States to participate more actively in such initiatives and for the establishment of a permanent programme for resettlement between Member States of beneficiaries of international protection; emphasises that intra-EU relocation and EU resettlement programmes are complementary actions aimed at showing both intra- and extra-EU solidarity and neither of them should prejudice the other. Amendment 21 # Takis HADJIGEORGIOU Draft opinion Paragraph 5 5. Considers that the Dublin system has failed to meet its objective of establishing a fair division of asylum responsibilities between the Member States as it disproportionately shifts responsibility towards Member States located at the external borders of the EU; stresses the need to review and reform the logic underlying the Dublin regulation and envisage alternative mechanisms for the allocation of responsibility for asylum applications; Amendment 24 # Takis HADJIGEORGIOU Draft opinion Paragraph 5 a (new) 5a. Stresses the need to ensure more orderly and managed entry in the EU of persons in need of international protection in order to gain access to a fair asylum procedure in the EU in a safe and reliable manner, in the spirit of responsibility sharing between EU Member States and with third countries; reiterates in this respect the importance to establish national protected entry procedures for asylum seekers in their countries of origin as well as those unable to obtain protection in third countries of transit. source: PE-491.333
