8	2009/2133(INI) Institutional aspects of creating a European service for external action 2009/08/10 AFCO 8 amendments... Amendment 12 # György SCHÖPFLIN, József SZÁJER Motion for a resolution Paragraph 3 3. Recommends that the approach with regard to the EEAS, which will be established in accordance with Articles 18, 27 and 40 of the Treaty on European Union in the version resulting from the Treaty of Lisbon, should evolve in the light of experience; considers that a body such as the EEAS cannot be completely circumscribed or predetermined in advance, but must be put in place by a gradual process based on mutual trust and a growing fund of expertise and shared experience; Amendment 19 # György SCHÖPFLIN, József SZÁJER Motion for a resolution Paragraph 4 – point b (b) the EEAS should take a form which improves the uniformity and coherence of the external action of the Union and its representation in foreign relations, for which purpose in particular the units dealing with external relations in the stricter sense and senior positions in the delegations in third countries should be brought under the umbrella of the EEAS; in the course of further development, consideration can then be given to what other functions should also be assigned to the EEAS; Amendment 29 # György SCHÖPFLIN, József SZÁJER Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 – introductory part 5. Believes that, as a sui generis service from an organisational, functional and budgetary point of view, the EEAS must be incorporated into the Commission's administrative structure; considers that the decision relating to the establishment of the EEAS should ensure in a legally binding manner, by means of the directorial powers of the VP/HR, that the Service – as laid down in the Treaty of Lisbon – is subject to the decisions of the Council in the traditional fields of external policy (CFSP and CSDP) and subject to the decisions of the College of Commissioners in the field of common external relations; believes that the EEAS should be constituted as follows: Amendment 31 # György SCHÖPFLIN, József SZÁJER Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 – point f (f) in his or her absence, the VP/HR should decide on a substitute on a case-by-case basis on the recommendation of the Director-General and in the light of the duties to be performed on each occasion; Amendment 36 # György SCHÖPFLIN, József SZÁJER Motion for a resolution Paragraph 7 7. Believes that the decision establishing the organisation and operation of the EEAS should also stipulate that Union embassies in third countries must, whenever necessary, according to the resources at their disposal, provide logistical and administrative support to the members of all Union institutions; considers that, subject to the consent of the VP/HR, heads of embassies should be accountable to the parliamentary committees concerned and should be required to undergo an appropriate hearing procedure before they are appointed; Amendment 37 # György SCHÖPFLIN, József SZÁJER Motion for a resolution Paragraph 8 8. Proposes that enquiries be made to determine the extent to which Union embassy staff on secondment from national consular services, beyond their political and economic tasks, could gradually assume responsibility, where necessary, for consular tasks in relation to nationals of non-member countries and for tasks related to diplomatic and consular protection of Union citizens in third countries, as already provided for by Article 20 of the EC Treaty; proposes, furthermore, that consideration be given to possibilities of cooperation between Parliament ~~officials~~ and the EEAS; Amendment 40 # György SCHÖPFLIN, József SZÁJER Motion for a resolution Paragraph 9 9. Considers that it is necessary to take further steps as regards providing Union officials with external relations training; suggests setting up a European diplomatic college which, in cooperation with appropriate bodies in the Member States, would provide Union officials and officials of the Member States who are to work in external relations functions, with appropriate training in consular and legation procedures, the provision of consular and legal support for diplomats, diplomacy and international relations, including knowledge of the history and workings of the European Union; Amendment 42 # György SCHÖPFLIN, József SZÁJER Motion for a resolution Paragraph 11 a (new) 11a. Considers that the appropriate committees of Parliament should review the functioning and goals of the EEAS within three years, with regard to the effectiveness of the institution, and should make recommendations with the aim of further improving the same, according to the special procedure whereby the Council acts unanimously on a proposal from the VP/HR, after consulting the European Parliament and after obtaining the consent of the Commission; source: PE-429.678

Amendment 1 # József SZÁJER Proposal for a regulation Recital 1 a (new) (1a) It is for the legislator, in full respect of the Treaties and in particular of Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, to decide in each basic act to confer implementing powers on the Commission in accordance with Article 291(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. Amendment 2 # József SZÁJER Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 a (new) (5a) Where appropriate, the control mechanism should include referral to an appeal committee which should meet at the appropriate level. Amendment 3 # József SZÁJER Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 (8) Criteria should be laid down to determine the procedure to be used for the adoption of implementing acts. In order to achieve greater consistency ~~and in order to ensure that~~, the procedural requirements arshould be proportionate to the nature and impact of the implementing acts to be adopted~~, those criteria should be binding~~. Amendment 4 # József SZÁJER Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 (9) The examination procedure should ~~only~~in particular apply for the adoption of measures of general scope designed to implement basic acts and specific measures with a potentially important impact. That procedure should provide for the control of the Member States in such a way that ~~measure~~acts cannot be adopted if they are not in conformity with the opinion of the committee, except in very exceptional circumstances, where the Commission should be able, in spite of a negative opinion, to adopt and apply ~~measure~~acts for a limited period of time. The Commission should be able to review the draft ~~measure~~acts in the event that no opinion is delivered by the committee, taking into account the views expressed within the committee. ~~(note: the text should be adapted throughout to the expression "implementing acts" .)~~Or. en Amendment 5 # József SZÁJER Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 a (new) (9a) Provided that the basic act confers implementing powers on the Commission relating to programmes with substantial budgetary implications, the examination procedure should apply. Amendment 6 # József SZÁJER Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 b (new) (9b) The Chair of the relevant committee should endeavour to find solutions which command the widest possible support within the committee or the appeal committee and should explain in which manner the discussions and suggestions for amendments have been taken into account. For that purpose the Commission should pay particular attention to the views expressed within the committee or the appeal committee as regards draft definitive anti-dumping or countervailing measures. Amendment 7 # József SZÁJER Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 c (new) (9c) When considering the adoption of other draft implementing acts concerning particularly sensitive sectors, notably taxation, consumers’ health, food safety and protection of the environment, the Commission, in order to find a balanced solution, will as far as possible act in such a way as to avoid going against any predominant position which might emerge within the appeal committee against the appropriateness of an implementing act. Amendment 8 # József SZÁJER Proposal for a regulation Recital 10 (10) The advisory procedure should as a general rule apply in all other cases and where it is considered to be most appropriate. Amendment 9 # József SZÁJER Proposal for a regulation Recital 12 (12) The European Parliament and the Council should be ~~kept~~promptly informed of committee proceedings on a regular basis. Amendment 10 # József SZÁJER Proposal for a regulation Recital 12 a (new) (12a) The European Parliament or the Council should be able at any time to indicate to the Commission that they consider a draft implementing act to exceed the implementing powers provided for in the basic act, taking into account their rights relating to the review of the legality of Union acts. Amendment 11 # József SZÁJER Proposal for a regulation Recital 13 (13) Public access to information on committee proceedings should be ensured in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents1. _______________________ 1 OJ L 145, 31.5.2001, p. 43. Amendment 12 # József SZÁJER Proposal for a regulation Recital 13 a (new) (13a) A register containing information on committee proceedings should be kept by the Commission. Consequently, rules relating to the protection of classified documents applicable to the Commission should also apply to the use of the register. Amendment 13 # József SZÁJER Proposal for a regulation Recital 14 (14) Decision 1999/468/EC should be repealed. In order to ensure the transition between the regime provided for in Decision 1999/468/EC and this Regulation, any reference in existing legislation to the procedures provided for in that Decision should, with the exception of the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a thereof, be understood as a reference to the corresponding procedures provided for in this Regulation. The transitional measures laid down in Article 10 should not prejudge the nature of the acts concerned. The effects of Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC should be provisionally maintained for the purposes of existing basic acts which refer to that Article. Amendment 14 # József SZÁJER Proposal for a regulation Article 1 This Regulation lays down the rules and general principles governing the mechanisms which ~~shall~~ apply in cases where a legally binding Union act (hereinafter a "basic act") identifies the need for uniform conditions of implementation and consequently requires that the adoption of ~~binding~~ implementing acts by the Commission be subject to the control of Member States.
