Amendment 38 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 10 a (new) (before subheading "Exit strategy") 10a. Is of the opinion that the ECB could have used some other policy actions in order to stabilise the economic situation in the new Member States; therefore invites the ECB to consider two instruments that could help to stabilise the economy during the crisis in those countries, namely temporary reciprocal currency arrangements (swap lines) and wider collateral; calls on the ECB to introduce swap lines with central banks of the new Member States to provide them with euro liquidity against their own currencies, and temporarily to accept as eligible securities for its repurchase transactions with counterparties not only government bonds issued in euro, but also those issued in the domestic currencies of the newer Member States; opines that this would be an extension of the ECB’s recent decision to accept low-quality securities as collateral; is of the opinion that the ECB should not take exchange- rate risks and should therefore apply appropriate haircuts to non-euro sovereign bonds to cover that risk; considers that this initiative would eliminate the current strong incentive for banks in the euro area not to hold in their portfolios government bonds denominated in the domestic currencies of the newer Member States;

Amendment 63 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 23 (23) Equal treatment should be granted under national law in respect of those branches of social security defined in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 883/04 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the coordination of social security systems. Since this Directive is without prejudice to provisions included in bilateral agreements, the social security rights enjoyed by third country national intra-corporate transferees on the basis of a bilateral agreement concluded between the Member State to which the person has been admitted and his or her country of origin could be strengthened compared to the social security rights which would be granted to the transferee under national law. This Directive should not confer more rights than those already provided for in existing Union legislation in the field of social security for third-country nationals who have cross-border interests between Member States. The provisions of this Directive should not apply to situations where a posted worker is covered by the social security legislation of a third country or pays contributions in a third country.

2011/0092(CNS) Taxation of energy products and electricity: restructuring the Community framework
2011/01/12
ECON
27 amendments...
Amendment 28 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 3 (3) Taxation related to CO2 emissions can be a cost-effective means for Member States to achieve the reductions of greenhouse gasses
Amendment 29 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 3 a (new) (3a) It should be borne in mind, however, that the Member States’ economies vary where the energy mix is concerned, and that the process of cutting greenhouse gas emissions ought to be supported in line with the principle of fiscal neutrality, ensuring that it does not adversely affect the competitiveness of the economies concerned. This Directive takes account of the fact that many Member States are currently developing long-term, optimum energy mix strategies enabling them, for example, to move towards low-emissions economies, which, in turn, will allow them to meet the climate challenges set by EU law. Given the legitimate social and economic interests involved, the Member States ought to be given a free hand when it comes to applying taxation relating to CO2 emissions. Giving the Member States such discretion means that they have freedom of choice/optionality with regard to the use of an emissions component in setting the tax rate for energy products and electricity.
Amendment 30 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 4 (4) Member States should
Amendment 33 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 5 (5) Therefore, provision should be made for energy taxation to consist of one or two components
Amendment 39 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 6 (6) Each of those components should be calculated on the basis of objective criteria, allowing for equal treatment of different energy sources. For the purposes of optional CO2-
Amendment 42 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 7 (7) CO2-related taxation should be adapted to the operation of Directive 2003/87/EC so as to complement it effectively. That optional taxation should apply to all uses, including those for purposes other than heating, of energy products causing CO2 emissions in installations within the meaning of that Directive, provided that the installation concerned is not subject to the emission trading scheme under that Directive. However, since the cumulative application of both instruments would not allow emission reductions beyond those attained, overall, through the emission trading scheme alone, but would merely increase the total cost of these reductions, CO2 related taxation should not apply to consumption in installations subject to the Union scheme.
Amendment 43 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 8 Amendment 48 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 9 Amendment 52 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 11 Amendment 70 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 14 (14) There is a need to limit the potential cost impact of optional CO2-related taxation on the sectors or sub-sectors deemed to be exposed to a significant risk of carbon leakage in the meaning of Article 10a(13) of Directive 2003/87/EC. Accordingly, it is appropriate to provide for corresponding transitional measures which, however, should also preserve the environmental effectiveness of CO2- related taxation.
Amendment 72 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 15 (15) Article 5 of Directive 2003/96/EC permits the application of differentiated rates of taxation in certain cases.
Amendment 80 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 18 Amendment 90 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 20 (20) Article 15(3) of Directive 2003/96/EC allows Member States to apply to agricultural, horticultural and piscicultural works as well as to forestry not only the provisions generally applicable to business uses but also a level of taxation down to zero. An examination of that option has revealed that as far as general energy consumption taxation is concerned its maintenance would be contrary to the Union's wider policy objectives unless it is linked to a counterpart ensuring advances in the field of energy efficiency. As regards optional CO2 related taxation the treatment of the sectors concerned should be aligned to the rules applying to industrial sectors.
Amendment 94 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 22 (22) In the absence of a more far-reaching harmonisation in the area of heating fuels used for business purposes, Member States with levels of taxation above the minimum levels prescribed in that area should continue to be able to provide for certain reductions.
Amendment 102 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 28 (28) Every five years and for the first time by the end of 2015, the Commission should report to the Council on the application of this Directive, examining in particular the minimum level of optional CO2-related taxation in the light of the evolution of the market price in the EU of the emission allowances, the impact of innovation and technological developments and the justification for the tax exemptions and reductions laid down in this Directive, including for fuel used for the purpose of air and maritime navigation. The list of sectors or sub-sectors deemed to be exposed to a significant risk of carbon leakage shall be the subject of regular review, in particular taking into account the availability of emerging evidence.

Proposal for a decision Recital 13 (13) In particular, Union citizens considering whether to make use of their right to free movement should be informed about their rights to acquire or preserve social security rights by virtue of the Union rules on coordination of social security systems; these rules ensure that they will not lose out on their social security rights when choosing to move within Europe. They should further be informed about their right to obtain recognition of their professional qualifications and about the social and civic competences which form part of the European framework of ‘Key Competences for lifelong learning’ and which can equip them to fully participate in civic life and empower them to exercise their rights under Union law. Citizens should also be informed about the new possibilities for the recognition of qualifications they have acquired, via reference to national and European qualifications frameworks. This fosters personal development and enhances citizens’ prospects and opportunities for mobility, both in education and on the labour market.

Amendment 69 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 (4) The European Union is confronted with structural and demographic challenges arising from economic globalisation, technological change and an increasingly ageing workforce and growing skills and labour shortages in some sectors and regions. They have been compounded by the recent economic and financial crisis, which has resulted in increased levels of unemployment, hitting in particular young people and other vulnerable groups, such as migrants. The ESF should aim to promote and create employment and support labour mobility, invest in education, skills and life-long learning, promote social inclusion and combat poverty. In promoting the better functioning of labour markets by enhancing the transnational geographical mobility of workers, the ESF

Proposal for a regulation Recital 17 a (new) (17a) Taking into account that social innovation is a subject of different programmes, measures should be put in place to avoid overlapping or double- financing of the same activities and initiatives. In addition, since some activities carried out under ESF under shared management partially overlap with those of the Programme for Social Change and Innovation, which is under direct management, measures should be put in place not to duplicate or double- finance activities falling under different management modes.

Amendment 90 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 6 a (new) (6a) Competent authorities shall make an overall assessment of all factual elements in order to determine if the worker is genuinely posted. If the proof cannot be produced, Member States involved shall collaborate closely and with no delay in order to choose which law is applicable to the employment contract, basing themselves on the Rome I Regulation.
Amendment 100 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 9 (9) For the purpose of ensuring that a posted worker receives the correct pay and provided allowances specific to posting can be considered part of minimum rates of pay, such allowances should only be deducted from wages if national law, collective agreements and/or practice of the host Member State provide for this. It is up to the national law of the Member State of establishment if the employer is obliged to provide or reimburse the costs of travel, board, lodging/accommodation. It is however up to the national law of the host Member State if it is included in the minimum wage.

The Member States are encouraged to establish points of information and practical help for the posted workers in order to ensure that they dispose of a proper knowledge about their rights. The place of the information points and the language coverage shall be decided upon an estimation of the presence of posted workers in the territory of the Member State concerned. This applies to both the Member State of establishment and the host Member State, since it is equally important to provide the worker with the information before his/her departure and during his/her period of posting.

Amendment 320 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 34 (34) The conferral of supervisory tasks implies a significant responsibility for the ECB to safeguard financial stability in the Union, and to use its supervisory powers in the most effective and proportionate way. The ECB should therefore be accountable for the exercise of these tasks towards the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers
Amendment 395 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 47 a (new) (47a) Whereas the pending financial crisis contributed immensely to the fragmentation of European financial markets, it is indispensable to enhance the common integrated financial framework. However, it should be borne in mind that the deepening of integration in the EMU cannot give rise to new, not outlined in the Treaties, convergence criteria, which can create additional barriers to entry for countries under a temporary derogation.
Amendment 396 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 47 b (new) (47b) Whereas, efforts to secure financial stability within the EU require a diversified approach to distinctive types of risks in different markets and considering that the economies of the Member States, including those in the EMU, remain heterogeneous and that economic cycles are not synchronized, it should be borne in mind that according to the ESRB Recommendation (ESRB/2011/3) and standard no. 138 of Basel III, effective response to the problems of macroeconomic imbalances necessitates the use of discretionary instruments at local level. Moreover, the scope to customize macroprudential instruments is of the utmost significance to the Member States remaining in the EMU, due to their inability to use macroeconomic automatic stabilizers, such as interest rate or exchange rate.
Amendment 409 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 1 – paragraph 1 This Regulation confers on the ECB specific tasks concerning policies relating to the prudential supervision of credit institutions, with a view to promoting the safety and soundness of credit institutions and the stability of the financial system within the EU and each Member State, with due regard for the unity and integrity of the internal market.

Before adopting a regulation, the ECB shall conduct open public consultations, including EBA and the Commission, and analyse the potential related costs and benefits.
Amendment 588 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 5 – paragraph 4 4. National competent authorities shall follow the instructions given by the ECB for the purposes of the tasks mentioned in Article 4(1).

Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 (3) In order to provide for the single supervisory mechanism, Council Regulation (EU) No …/… [127(6) Regulation] confers specific tasks on the ECB concerning policies relating to the prudential supervision of credit institutions in the Member States whose currency is the euro. Other Member States may enter in a close cooperation with the ECB.
Amendment 111 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 a (new) (4 a) Bearing in mind that the EBA, in works of which all Member States participate with equal rights, was established with an aim to develop the single rulebook and ensure the coherence of supervisory practices within the EU and given the establishment of the single supervisory mechanism with a leading role of the ECB, the EBA needs to be equipped with adequate instruments, which will enable it to efficiently perform its entrusted tasks concerning the integrity of the single market in the area of financial services.
Amendment 118 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 (5) In view of the supervisory tasks conferred on the ECB by Council Regulation (EU) No
Amendment 123 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 a (new) (5 a) The mandate of the EBA to settle disagreements, involving the ECB with regard to cases concerning prudential supervision, can be inferred from the fact that both the establishment of the EBA and the conferment of specific supervisory tasks on the ECB have been introduced through secondary law.

Amendment 144 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 a (new) (8 a) Since the Member States which entered into close cooperation with the SSM are devoid of voting rights in the Governing Council of the ECB, which results in a lack of effective influence on the decision making process within the SSM, a special procedure for settlement of disagreements between the ECB and a competent authority of a Member State which has entered into close cooperation shall be established, which will compensate for the absence of forceful instruments to sway the decision making process taken within the SSM and at the same time, will safeguard the right to protect justified interests, in particular the stability of the local financial market. To that end, the EBA should be equipped with the ultimate authority to settle disagreements between the ECB and the competent authority of a Member State that has entered into close cooperation with the SSM.
Amendment 148 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 (9) The composition of the Management Board should be balanced and proper representation of Member States participating in the SSM, remaining in the close cooperation, and not participating in the SSM should be ensured.
