2010/0195(COD) Air quality: provisions for engines placed on the market under the flexibility scheme
2011/02/23
ENVI
5 amendments...
Amendment 25 #
Proposal for a directive - amending act Recital 1 a (new) (1a) Directive 98/24/EC notes that diesel soot emissions are carcinogenic. Activities and procedures during which workers are exposed to diesel engine emissions must therefore be subject to the state-of-the-art minimisation requirement. In particular on building sites, workers are permanently exposed to such emissions from building machinery and deserve therefore the best possible protection.
Amendment 26 #
Proposal for a directive - amending act Recital 1 b (new) (1b) In the light of experience, scientific findings and available technologies, the following new steps should be taken: (a) As a result of the lengthy period of use of non-road mobile machinery already placed on the market, its high emissions will long continue to represent a risk to health and the environment. Establishment of a standard process in the Union which is retrofittable to such machinery should be driven forward as quickly as possible. (b) Ultrafine particles occur during combustion processes at high temperatures. These nanoparticles (PM 0.1) are 'weightless'; gravimetric measurements do not take due account of them. As a result of their toxicological significance for human health, however, particle number limit values and an appropriate measurement procedure have been laid down in the Union's emission provisions for heavy-duty vehicles (Euro VI in Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009 on type- approval of motor vehicles and engines with respect to emissions from heavy duty vehicles (Euro VI) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information1) and for light-duty vehicles (Euro VI in Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2007 on type approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and Euro 6) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information2). That should also be introduced for non-road mobile machinery. (c) Mobile machinery and vehicles should be periodically tested to establish whether their emissions performance complies with the values given at registration. Establishing appropriate measurement procedures and test cycles which are easy to carry out on a decentralised basis by Member State authorities would make a very great contribution in terms of health and the environment. 1 OJ L 188, 18.7.2009, p. 1. 2 OJ L 171, 29.6.2007, p. 1.
Amendment 54 #
Proposal for a directive - amending act Article 1 – point -1 (new) Directive 97/68/CE Article 2 - new indent (-1) In Article 2, the following indent is added: – exhaust after-treatment system for particle reduction shall mean devices and filter systems with at least 90% particle removal efficiency and a number criterion of 1012 kWh,
Amendment 59 #
Proposal for a directive - amending act Article 1 – point 1 a (new) Directive 97/68/CE Article 8 - paragraph 6 a (new) 1a. In Article 8, the following paragraph is added: (6a) This shall be without prejudice to Member States' emission-reducing provisions for the use of those engines, in line with the state of the art, for worker safety and in sensitive areas in which the emission limit values under Directive 2008/50/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2008 on ambient air quality and cleaner air for Europe1 are exceeded, provided that they are in accordance with the 'polluter pays' principle, are non-discriminatory and are targeted. 1 OJ L 152, 11.6.2008, p. 1.
Amendment 77 #
Proposal for a directive - amending act Article 1 – point 2 a (new) Directive 97/68/CE Article 13 2a. Article 13 shall be replaced by the following: The provisions of this Directive shall not affect Member States' entitlement to lay down, in due observance of the Treaty, such requirements reflecting the state of the art as they may deem necessary to ensure that workers are protected when using the machinery referred to in this Directive.

Amendment 36 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 7 a (new) 7a. Underlines that Member States where, as shown by the data collected for the Commission report, implementation of the project was lagging behind may have caught up, so that a delay at this particular time need not be indicative of overall quality in the programming period;
Amendment 37 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 7 a (new) 7a. Believes that corrective measures need to be promptly taken to improve poor performance in some priority areas; calls on Member States in this context to step up efforts to improve project selection in the delayed themes, and to accelerate implementation of all selected projects so as to avoid the risk of not reaching the agreed objectives;

Amendment 42 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 8 8. Underlines the fact that effective selection and implementation of projects in some areas is hampered by missing relevant preconditions, such as the lack of clear national priorities for certain areas of intervention, belated transposition of EU laws and lack of institutional and administrative capacity; calls therefore on Member States and regions to facilitate policy implementation by tackling these challenges and in particular by improving the legal framework in the field of state aid, public procurement and environmental rules and pursue institutional reforms;
Amendment 57 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 a (new) 13a.

Amendment 75 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 18 a (new) 18a. Considers that strategic reporting, as a valuable tool of monitoring the progress of implementation creates a basis for peer review and strategic debate on EU level, therefore encourages Member States to adopt more analytical and strategic approach while elaborating national reports, and expects stronger focus on outputs, outcomes, as well as reasons for the failure to achieve the targets;

Amendment 27 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 a (new) (4a) In particular, the Programme should help identify, evaluate and scale up innovative solutions and practice through social policy experimentation to assist the Member States to increase the efficiency of their labour markets and further improve their social protection and inclusion policies, where necessary. Social policy experimentation refers to project-based field testing of social innovations. It allows the gathering of evidence on the feasibility of social innovations. Successful ideas should be pursued on a wider scale with financial support from the European Social Fund (ESF) as well as other sources. Experience shows that social policy experimentation projects often last between three and five years and include a great variety of actors of all sizes. National information centres on social policy experimentation, where established, serve as a one-stop-shop for all interested parties and support the creation and development of networks and partnerships.
Amendment 49 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 19 (19) Pursuant to Article 9 of the Treaty, the Programme should ensure that the requirements linked to the promotion of a high-level of quality employment, a guarantee of adequate social protection and the fight against social exclusion are taken into account in defining and implementing the Union's policies and activities.

Support should therefore be granted to operations with this aim, including the access to Information and Communication Technologies and the development of fast and ultra-fast broadband. In line with these objectives, development of services and infrastructure leading to social inclusion and reversing trends of social and economic decline and depopulation of rural areas should be encouraged. In order to achieve the maximum effectiveness for such support, covered operations should be implemented in accordance with plans for the development of municipalities and their basic services, such as healthcare and prevention facilities, where such plans exist, elaborated by one or more rural communes.

2012/0035(COD) Medicinal products for human use: transparency of measures regulating the prices and their inclusion in the scope of public health insurance systems
2012/10/22
ENVI
2 amendments...
Amendment 54 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 9 (9) Any measure to regulate, either directly or indirectly, the prices of medicinal products, as well as any measure, including recommendations that may be required, to determine their coverage by public health insurance systems should be based on objective and verifiable criteria that are independent from the origin of the product and should provide adequate legal remedies, including judicial remedies, to affected companies. These requirements should equally apply to national, regional or local measures to control or promote the prescription of specific medicinal products as such measures also determine their effective coverage by health insurance systems.
Amendment 57 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 10 (10) Applications to approve the price of a medicinal product or to determine its coverage by the health insurance system should not delay the placing on the market of that product beyond what is necessary. It is therefore desirable that this Directive sets out mandatory time limits within which national decisions should be made. In order to be effective, the prescribed time periods should run from the receipt of an application until the entry into force of the corresponding decision. They should include all recommendations and expert evaluations, including health technology assessments where applicable, and all administrative steps required for the decision to be adopted and take legal effect.
