2011/06/22
IMCO
5 amendments...
Amendment 21 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 6 (6) Major accidents can have consequences beyond frontiers, and the ecological and economic cost of an accident is borne not only by the establishment affected but also by the Member state concerned. It is therefore necessary to take measures ensuring a high level of protection throughout the Union and to strengthen cooperation between the Member States and, for that reason, between the regional and local authorities, so as to prevent cross-border accidents and ensure coordinated response to major accidents.
Amendment 25 #
Proposal for a directive Article 13 – paragraph 1 1. Member States shall ensure that the information referred to in Annex V is intelligible and clearly worded, and permanently available to the public, including in an electronic format. The information shall be reviewed and where necessary updated at least once a year.

Proposal for a directive Article 20 a (new) Article 20a The Commission shall, on the basis of information submitted by Member States and the information held in data bases, submit reports to the European Parliament and the Council on the major accidents that have occurred within the European Union and their potential impact in terms of the effectiveness of this Directive. The Commission shall submit these reports every four years. However, following any accident classed as extremely serious in terms of numberd of victims or major damage to the environment, a report shall be drawn up with the aim of preventing possible new damage;

Amendment 4 #
Motion for a resolution Recital A a (new) Aa. whereas demographic change is characterised by population ageing and substantial migration flows both from third countries into the EU and within the EU from east to west and from rural to urban areas,
Amendment 31 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 3 3. Considers that a political framework for gender equality can help face demographic challenges; requests, therefore, that the issue of gender equality should be taken into consideration in all debates on regional policy, and in particular on all matters relating to demographic issues;
Amendment 41 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 4 a (new) 4a. Emphasises that one of the key ways to address the demographic challenge is to try and maintain a reasonable balance in the composition of the population by gender and age, so it is essential to encourage young people and women to stay in their places of origin through the guarantee of sufficient job opportunities and a decent supply of social and cultural services; stresses that the exodus of women belonging to economically active age groups results in the so-called ‘masculinisation’ of the rural population which, combined with the over-ageing population of women in single person households and the abandonment of farming, are the main causes of depopulation and economic decline in the EU's rural areas, with negative consequences for the quality of life of the community and demographic trends;
Amendment 77 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 12 a (new) 12a. Calls on the competent national, regional and local authorities to put in place measures to enable people to reconcile work and family life, particularly more flexible working conditions and the sufficient provision of high-quality and affordable services to take care of children, the elderly and other dependents; emphasises that countries which have introduced proper policies on reconciling work and family life have managed to raise both labour market participation rates for men and women and birth rates, thus helping to anchor the local population;

Draft opinion Paragraph 3 3. Emphasises that tourism has a tangible impact on the economic, social and territorial cohesion of all the Member States; stresses also that tourism represents the main resource of some EU regions, such as islands, outlying regions, remote border towns and regions that are lagging behind economically, and that it has a direct impact on growth in other sectors; considers that tourism also offers an opportunity for economic recovery in regions affected by depopulation;
Amendment 23 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 4 4. Considers that social, economic and environmental sustainability are a prerequisite for developing and maintaining all tourism activity; urges the Commission to develop a ‘European label’ in order to create a profile for products and services of excellence and at the same time enhance Europe’s image worldwide; urges the Commission to rely on advice from those Member States with experience in the development, implementation and administration of tourist quality labels;
Amendment 35 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 5. Reiterates that the development of sustainable and socially responsible forms of tourism would provide local economies with a lasting source of income and a means of promoting stable employment, while at the same time making it possible to safeguard and enhance the landscape and the cultural, historical and social heritage of every region;
Amendment 52 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 7 7. Calls on the Commission, the Member States and the local and regional authorities to encourage and support the development of networks and the creation of partnerships for the exchange of good practice and the creation of common tourist labels; hopes that concrete initiatives will be undertaken in support of innovation and the development of new information technologies, and that access will be facilitated for stakeholders in the tourist industry, and particularly small– and medium–sized enterprises, to the relevant financial instruments;
Amendment 63 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 8 8. Considers it necessary to counterbalance the effects of seasonal tourism by diversifying tourism and through tourist specialisation, including via support for new forms of tourism such as health tourism, especially spa tourism, ecological and rural tourism, culinary tours, cultural tours and socially-responsible tourism, in particular when aimed at people with reduced mobility, young people, school pupils and the elderly, who constitute a market with huge growth potential; welcomes the positive results achieved by the CALYPSO programme and calls on the Commission to consider the possibility of extending it indefinitely;
Amendment 74 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 9 9. Calls for greater emphasis to be placed on quality of employment in the tourism sector, with a focus on training with a high language and technology content, on support for SMEs and entrepreneurship among women and young people, on labour force mobility thanks to various Community programmes and on combating undeclared work; encourages the Member States and local authorities to make use of the vocational training tools offered by the European Social Fund and by other Community and national instruments;
Amendment 80 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 10 10. Calls on the Member States to make optimum use of the European financial instruments available for the current financial programming period, in order to develop the competitiveness of the tourism sector and of tourist destinations; hopes that, as part of the cohesion policy review, the role of tourism as a means of redressing the social, economic and territorial balance will be upgraded; hopes that every form of funding the EU provides for tourism will be tied to the provision of services of excellent standard and quality and to sustainability.

Amendment 660 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 64 64. Stresses the predominant role of cohesion policy for the accomplishment of the Europe 2020 objectives and takes the view that a sound autonomous cohesion policy is a prerequisite for the successful implementation of this strategy; stresses that, due to its horizontal character, cohesion policy contributes significantly to all three priorities of the Europe 2020 strategy, namely smart, sustainable and inclusive growth; considers that being the only place-based development policy in Europe, all regions should benefit from Structural Funds according to their specific development needs and potential.

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 69 69. Recalls that one of the main criticisms directed at cohesion policy relates to the complexity of its rules and the disproportionate requirements on small programmes and projects; insists on the importance of simplifying the rules and procedures of this policy, on maintaining the main lines of the current implementing system instead of making fundamental modifications, on reducing complexity and administrative burdens, and on a more transparent and effective allocation of resources to cities, municipalities and regions; emphasises that

2011/0062(COD) Credit agreements: residential property
2011/10/27

10 amendments...
Amendment 103 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 1 a (new) (1a) In its Communication of 13 April 2011 entitled ‘Single Market Act - Twelve levers to boost growth and strengthen confidence’ (COM (2011)0206), the Commission promised to continue improving the ‘better protection of borrowers in the mortgage market’.
Amendment 104 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 3 (3) The financial crisis has shown that irresponsible behaviour by market participants can undermine the foundations of the financial system, leading to a lack of confidence among all parties, in particular consumers, and potentially severe social and economic consequences. Many consumers have lost confidence in the financial sector and borrowers have found their loans increasingly unaffordable, with defaults and forced sales rising. In view of the problems brought to light in the financial crisis and in the context of efforts to ensure an efficient and competitive internal market that ensures financial stability and consumer protection, the Commission has proposed measures with regard to credit agreements relating to residential immovable property, including a reliable framework on credit intermediation, in the context of delivering responsible and reliable markets for the future and restoring consumer confidence.
Amendment 121 #
Proposal for a directive Article 1 – paragraph 1 a (new) This Directive develops a more transparent, efficient and competitive internal market, through consistent, flexible and fair credit agreements relating to residential immovable property, while promoting sustainable lending and borrowing and hence providing a high degree of protection to consumers.
Amendment 155 #
Proposal for a directive Article 4 a (new) 1. Member States shall determine measures to ease and promote understanding by consumers of their responsibilities with respect to borrowing and debt management, especially as regards credit agreements. 2. Member States shall ensure that information is accessible to all users, in order to prevent the absence of such information making consumers more vulnerable than normal, and shall particularly guarantee protection for consumers whose profiles make them especially vulnerable to credit agreements for residential immovable property.
Amendment 180 #
Proposal for a directive Article 9 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1 Member States shall ensure that accessible and comprehensible general information about credit agreements is made available by creditors or, where applicable, credit intermediaries at all times in a durable medium or in electronic form.

Proposal for a directive Article 9 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 2 – point j a (new) ja) a warning, where applicable, concerning the risk of losing the residential immovable property in the event of non-observance of the commitments linked to the credit agreement when the credit is secured by a mortgage or another comparable security commonly used in a Member State on residential immovable property or secured by a right related to residential immovable property.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 1 (1) Article 174 of the Treaty provides that, in order to strengthen its economic, social and territorial cohesion, the Union shall aim at reducing disparities between the levels of development of the various regions and the backwardness of the least favoured regions or islands, particularly rural areas, areas affected by industrial transition, and regions which suffer from severe and permanent natural or demographic handicaps, such as the northernmost regions with low population density as well as island, border and mountain regions. Also, for the purpose of maximising the effectiveness of the funds, where applicable, disadvantaged urban areas and remote border cities should be taken into account.

Amendment 240 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 19 (19) Establishing a closer link between cohesion policy and the economic governance of the Union will ensure that the effectiveness of expenditure under the CSF Funds is underpinned by sound economic policies and that the CSF Funds can, if necessary, be redirected to addressing the economic problems a country is facing.

Proposal for a regulation Annex -I (new) – Part 1 – Section 1.2 – Paragraph 1.2.3 1.2.3 In order to tackle the complex challenges they face, Member States and regions must deploy all available Union policy instruments. In particular, for the purposes of tackling climate change which present different risks for different regions, resources must be focused on preventative and mitigating measures. Any new investment made with the support of the Funds covered by the CPR must be of a nature such that it is inherently resilient to the impact of climate change and natural disasters.

Proposal for a regulation Annex -I (new) – Part 1 – Section 1.3 – Paragraph 1.3.3 1.3.3 Higher participation of women on an equal footing with men in the labour market, both as employers and employees, would invigorate the Union's economy. Unblocking the potential for such an increase in activity, by increasing the female employment rate is crucial for reaching the Europe 2020 employment targets. Barriers to women's labour market participation, must, therefore, be fully addressed. Member States and regions must ensure that in addition to the ESF, the ERDF, the CF, the EMFF and the EAFRD also finance activities that promote women's economic independence, contribute to attaining an appropriate balance between work and personal life and family life, and that advance women's opportunities as entrepreneurs. (Takes over paragraph 1.3.3 of the Rapporteurs' amendment on the CSF, but adds a reference to the fact that participation of women in the labour market must be accomplished on an equal footing with men.)

The combination of a smaller working population and a higher share of retired people as well as the problems of population dispersion will place additional strains on Member States' welfare systems and thus on the Union's economic competiveness.

For the Funds covered by the CPR, this means focusing on sustainable forms of transport and investing in areas that offer the greatest European added value, for example Trans-European Networks. Once identified, investments must be prioritised according to their contribution to accessibility and mobility, sustainability, to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and to the Single European Transport Area.

2011/2150(INI) Functioning and application of established rights of people travelling by air
2011/07/12
IMCO
24 amendments...
Amendment 2 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 a (new) 1a. Underlines the importance of uniform enforcement across Member States and effective, dissuasive and proportionate penalties in order to create powerful economic incentives for the air carriers, as well as for the other actors involved, to comply with the provisions;
Amendment 4 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 a (new) 1a. Taking into account the fact that the lack of information to passengers is a major obstacle to the effective application of Regulation 261/2004, it stresses the fact that it is necessary to ensure that passengers, particularly those in the most vulnerable positions, receive timely and accurate information in order to assess whether their rights have been properly respected and to know where to turn to in case of dissatisfaction;
Amendment 5 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 b (new) 1b. Notes that enforcement actions are rarely carried out and vary widely across Member States; therefore encourages the Commission to work in cooperation with the competent authorities and National Enforcement Bodies (hereinafter referred as "NEBs") in order to promote a uniform sanctioning and monitoring of infringements;
Amendment 8 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 e (new) 1e. Notes that the process of a possible revision of Regulation 261/2004 and Regulation 1107/2006 will take time to complete; therefore calls on the Commission to consider introducing complementary interim measures to improve the application and enforcement of these Regulations. These may include keeping updated and published on the EC's website the informative documents on air passengers' rights, as well as fostering discussions and collaboration between Member States, NEBs, consumer organizations and airlines in order to disseminate best practices and build agreement on the controversial parts of the legislation;
Amendment 11 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 a (new) 2a. Highlights that the scope, definition and identification of what is covered by the term "extraordinary circumstance" must be clearly stated in any future amendment of Regulation 261/2004 in order to prevent airlines from making abusive claims of the circumstances that led to cancellations or delays. It further invites the Commission to reassess the unlimited liability of air carriers regarding the right to care under extraordinary circumstances beyond the carrier's control;
Amendment 14 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 a (new) 2a. Welcomes the Commission's commitment to analyse and revise the existing Regulations on air passenger rights aiming to improve the situation of passengers especially in the cases of long delay or cancellation; Believes that proper application of the existing rules by Member States and carriers, enforcement of sufficient and simple means of redress and providing passengers with accurate information concerning their rights should be the cornerstones of regaining passengers' trust;
Amendment 16 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 b (new) 2b. Considers that a clear definition must be given for the most recurring terms which serve to establish the carrier's liability and/or the appropriate rights for passengers. This includes the terms "flight", "re-routing", "connection", "diversion", "cancellation", "long delay", "schedule" and "final destination";
Amendment 19 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 b (new) 2b. Appreciates the diversity of passenger rights depending on the different mode of transport such as rail, air, sea and inland amongst others; However believes that a holistic approach is needed to integrate all passenger rights namely the right of compensation, reimbursement, information, amongst others into one comprehensive, consolidated legislative framework;
Amendment 20 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 c (new) 2c. Emphasizes the widespread proliferation of unfair contract terms in air transport contracts and an increase in national case law prohibiting certain terms regularly used by airlines; thus urges the Commission to address this issue by black-listing specific unfair terms in the air transport sector. In particular it invites the Commission to include under the scope of Regulation 261/2004 the contractual issues related to the transferability of tickets, force majeure circumstances, the unilateral rescheduling of flights, the prohibition to use tickets separately unless based on very limited and objective "no show" criteria, mishandled/delayed/damaged luggage and the unreasonable restrictions on hand luggage;
Amendment 22 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 d (new) 2d. Notes that recent rulings of the European Court of Justice concerning passenger entitlement to compensation in the event of delays confirm the principle of equal treatment of cancelled flights and flights delayed for more than 3 hours; therefore urges the Commission to propose measures for the compensation of passengers whose flights have been delayed for more than 3 hours, without cancelling the right to be transferred to the next available flight;
Amendment 24 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 e (new) 2e. Suggests that further research could be carried out to examine the opportunity and feasibility of establishing one single legislative instrument comprising all provisions and principles on consumer rights in civil aviation in order to reduce fragmentation and reconcile inconsistencies across the different areas of passenger rights;
Amendment 25 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 3. Notes that existing commercial practices
Amendment 28 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 a (new) 3a. Without prejudice to the freedom of airlines to freely set fares and rates, non- optional services which are an inseparable part from travelling by air, such as check-in or at least 1 item of checked luggage, should not be subject to additional fees;
Amendment 34 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 4 4. Emphasises the need to ensure consistency between the different legislations on air passenger rights and in particular between the legal protection for package travellers and the lack of similar protection for seat-only passengers, thus following travel market trends whereby consumers increasingly arrange their travel themselves and avoiding any discrimination against passengers based on type of ticket purchase or unfair competition between the different service providers (air carriers, travel agencies or tour operators); In particular, it urges the Commission to propose binding measures ensuring that passengers buying seat-only seats are equally effectively protected in case of airline insolvency, as package travellers are already;
Amendment 40 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 a (new) 5a. Is of the opinion that introducing a strict definition of what is understood by a "disabled person" or a "person with reduced mobility" will undermine the purpose of the current definition to provide broad assistance to the relevant groups requiring special assistance; but nevertheless suggests to consider whether elderly people who do not have reduced mobility, pregnant women and unaccompanied children should be included in the definition, possibly under the term "passengers with special needs";
Amendment 42 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 a (new) 5a. Emphasises the need to provide special protection for vulnerable consumer groups, especially disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility; points out that these vulnerable groups need additional guarantees when exercising their rights as passengers and calls on the Commission, the Member States and the air carries to enforce those rights;
Amendment 44 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 b (new) 5b. Calls on the Commission to introduce binding measures for airlines and airports to harmonize their policies, especially with regards to booking procedures, procedures to ask for assistance and security control policies, and to provide better information on these issues from the time of booking until Passengers with Reduced Mobility (hereinafter referred as "PRMs"), and eventually Passengers with Special Needs, leave the airport at their destination point in order to guarantee equal travel opportunities and non-discrimination and to enable PRMs to know what to expect from the different airlines and at the different airports;
Amendment 45 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 c (new) 5c. Highlights the fact that the training of air carrier and airport personnel plays a key role for guaranteeing the effective implementation of all parts of Regulation 1107/2006 and is the most cost-efficient means for ensuring non-discrimination; therefore stresses that adequate training of personnel at airports and on board the aircraft must be provided in close cooperation with representative organizations of persons with reduced mobility;
Amendment 47 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 e (new) 5e. Emphasises the fact that there is a need to ensure that mobility equipment is not considered and/or treated as ordinary luggage, but as an indispensable tool for independence which is irreplaceable for the passenger; for this reason it underlines that mobility equipment should be handled with care by trained personnel according to strict and harmonized procedures for boarding and disembarking, allowing passengers to use this equipment as long as possible;
Amendment 48 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 f (new) 5f. Believes that it is essential to ensure that people who need medical oxygen when travelling, obese passengers and passengers who are required to travel with an assistant are not required to pay additional charges or denied boarding unless on strictly safety grounds;
Amendment 50 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 6 a (new) 6a. Calls on the Commission to propose measures for setting up harmonised and accessible complaint handling procedures and means of redress which will ensure the effective protection of the rights of passengers and will guarantee that they receive the compensation they are entitled to in a timely and efficient manner;
Amendment 53 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 6 a (new) 6a. Calls on the Commission to explore the possibility to create a central EU unit that should ensure uniform and speedy enforcement of the consumers' passenger rights as air travellers;
Amendment 55 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 6 b (new) 6b. Notes that the deadlines by which carriers and National Enforcement Bodies respond to passengers are too long and they differ significantly from one carrier/NEB to another and for this reason invites the Commission to set fixed deadlines for responding to passengers' complaints, similarly to other Regulations on passengers' rights;
Amendment 58 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 6 c (new) 6c. Underlines that air carriers must ensure the presence of at least one representative and/or complaint desk at each airport that they operate from to provide immediate assistance to passengers who have experienced a disruption of their flight(s) or whose rights have been violated;

Amendment 46 #
Motion for a resolution Recital A A.
Amendment 81 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 2. Considers that other criteria should be used to determine the eligibility of ORs for the allocation of structural funds, given that the per capita GDP criterion does not provide an accurate reflection of their specific situation and is contrary to the spirit on which ‘outermost region status’ is based and the Treaty itself; calls therefore for the implementation of specific criteria, listing ORs among the least developed regions, regardless of their GDP giving an approach best adapted to their specific situation; stresses, therefore, that the co- financing rates in respect of the ORs should be 85 % for all instruments providing aid for those regions; calls for an extension of the period of implementation of these funds in the ORs with a view to more effective implementation;

Draws attention to the fact that in the proposal for a Regulation of the next ESF, the situation of ORs will not be referred to, considering not only the structural characteristics listed in Article 349 of the TFEU but also their specific economic situation which puts them among the regions with the highest unemployment rates in the EU;

Motion for a resolution Recital B (B) Whereas the single market must ensure, also, a high level of protection for all consumers with a special focus devoted to vulnerable consumers
Amendment 12 #
Motion for a resolution Recital C (C) Whereas vulnerable consumers are a heterogeneous group comprised of persons who are considered as such because of their mental, physical or psychological disability, their age, their credulity or their education, or persons made vulnerable by their social and financial situation who require special protection and a specific strategy on the part of the authorities; whereas any consumer, at some point in his/her life, can become vulnerable because of external factors and interactions with the market,

Amendment 48 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 5.
Amendment 54 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 6. Regrets that the efforts of the European Commission are centred principally on promoting consumer empowerment; although the Commission's concern that European consumers be better informed about their options and their rights is laudable, and all action in this regard contributes to a more efficient internal market, this focus is clearly insufficient to protect consumers in general and vulnerable consumers in particular, who require specific attention in order to develop a consumer policy for all European consumers;

Amendment 99 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 13. Deplores that advertising for food with high fat, salt and sugar content is aimed at children and young people, who increasingly suffer the consequences of sedentariness and obesity; calls on the actors involved to educate and inform minors and their caregivers about the importance of a balanced diet; in this regard it should be analysed in depth if there is a need for stricter rules regarding commercials aimed at children and young people;
Amendment 109 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 a (new) 13a. Highlights the fact that advertisements for financial investment products often fail to sufficiently explain their underlying risks and overemphasise possible benefits that often fail to materialise, thereby exposing consumers of financial services products to loss of their capital; calls on the European Commission to introduce stricter advertising standards for sophisticated financial products aimed at retail investors who may not have a good understanding of financial risk, including the requirement to explicitly state any losses that the investor may incur.

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 18 18. Asks the European Commission and the Member States to collaborate in cooperation with the European Parliament on the adoption of a broad and coherent political and legislative strategy against vulnerability, especially in the Consumer Agenda and the Consumer Programme; underlines that the creation of a strategy for strengthening the rights of the most vulnerable consumers, in order to increase their participation in the Single Market, contributes not only to the social inclusion of such consumers and to advancement toward a more just and tolerant society, but also to ensuring a more dynamic, safe and competitive internal market; points out that this task should involve not only the authorities but also businesses and providers in order to facilitate a more transparent contractual balance.

2013/02/26
REGI
10 amendments...
Amendment 87 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 1 a (new) (1a) In 2010, around 116 million people, 25 million of them children, were at risk of social exclusion or poverty in the EU, and of those, 40 million were suffering from severe material deprivation and 4.1 million were homeless, which represents an increase of around 4 million over the previous year.
Amendment 92 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 (4) The Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived (hereinafter the 'Fund') should strengthen social cohesion by contributing to the reduction of poverty and social exclusion in the Union by supporting national schemes that provide non- financial assistance to the most deprived persons to alleviate food deprivation, homelessness and material and nutritional deprivation of children.
Amendment 108 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 (8) The operational programme of each Member State should identify and justify the most urgent forms of material and nutritional deprivation to be addressed, and describe the objectives and features of the assistance to the most deprived persons that will be provided through the support of national schemes. It should also include elements necessary to ensure rapid, effective and efficient implementation of the operational programme.
Amendment 111 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 a (new) (8a) With a view to ensuring the effective and efficient implementation of the measures financed from the Fund, cooperation should be fostered between regional and local authorities and bodies representing civil society.

Amendment 11 #

Amendment 17 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 2. Considers that EU regional policy has a key role to play in promoting renewable energy production on a Europe-wide scale; welcomes the fact that the cohesion and regional policy input intended to encourage renewable energy use has continued to expand step by step; considers it particularly important for the direction of Commission policy to be such as to enable the funding rate to be increased further
