7	2011/0460(NLE) Supplementary Research Programme for the ITER project (2014-2018) 2013/03/01 ITRE 7 amendments... Amendment 15 # Laurence J.A.J. STASSEN Draft legislative resolution Paragraph 1 1. ~~Approve~~Rejects the Commission proposal ~~as amended~~; Amendment 23 # Laurence J.A.J. STASSEN Proposal for a decision Recital 4 (4) The estimated costs for ITER construction increased compared to the initial estimates of 2001, on which the ITER Agreement was based. In its conclusions of 12 July 2010 on ITER status and possible way forward, the Council of the European Union ~~limited~~set the European contribution to the ITER construction phase ato an amount of no less than EUR 6.6 billion in 2008 value. According to those conclusions, the European contribution is funded by Euratom (80%) and by France (20%) and includes construction costs, running costs and contingencies. As a result of those conclusions, the Commission proposed to amend the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 on budgetary discipline and sound financial management as regards the multiannual framework (MFF) for the period 2007-2013 to provide additional funds for ITER for the period of 2012- 2013. Amendment 30 # Laurence J.A.J. STASSEN Proposal for a decision Recital 6 (6) The Supplementary Research Programme for the ITER project should be funded by contributions from the Member States based on a call rate applied to each Member State's Gross National Income (GNI) as defined for the purpose of calculating the GNI own resource contribution to the General Budget of the European Union. Those contributions shall be made to the General Budget of the European Union, and shall be assigned to that Programme. Third countries which have concluded a cooperation agreement with Euratom in the field of controlled nuclear fusion that associates their respective research programmes with the Euratom programmes should also be able to contribute to that Programmefrom the existing budget for ITER. Amendment 44 # Laurence J.A.J. STASSEN Proposal for a decision Article 3 – paragraph 1 The Programme shall be funded by contributions of the Member States, based on a call rate applied to each Member State's Gross National Income (GNI) as defined for the purposes of calculating GNI own resource contribution to the General Budget of the European Union. Those contributions shall be considered as external assigned revenue for the Programme in accordance with [Article XX of Regulation (EU) No XX/2012 of the European Parliament and the Council [New Financial Regulation] from the existing budget for ITER.

4	2011/2150(INI) Functioning and application of established rights of people travelling by air 2012/01/16 TRAN 4 amendments... Amendment 9 # Laurence J.A.J. STASSEN Motion for a resolution Recital C C. whereas effective complaint systems should be at the disposal of passengers if the service is not properly delivered or if any other rights guaranteed to the passengers are infringed, especially since passengers have already paid the price of the ticket before the service is provided ~~and since tax-payers’ money contributes substantially to the subsidies received by air carriers~~; Amendment 88 # Laurence J.A.J. STASSEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 9 9. Calls on the Commission to examine measures that would allow passengers to correct booking errors or to withdraw from an online reservation within a cooling-off period of at least 482 hours following the initial booking;.

STASSEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 18 18. Believes that passengers whose luggage has been lost or delayed should ~~enjoy equivalent rights, in terms of compensation and assistance, to passengers who have been delayed themselves~~be informed of their rights under the Montreal Convention and Regulation (EC) No 889/2002; source: PE-480.549
5	2012/0288(COD) Fuels and energy from renewable sources: transition to biofuels to deliver greenhouse gas savings 2013/05/08 ITRE 5 amendments... Amendment 38 # Laurence J.A.J. STASSEN Proposal for a directive Recital 1 (1) In line with Article 3(4) of Directive 2009/28/EC on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable energy sources and amending and subsequently repealing Directives 2001/777/EC and 2003/30/EC~~9 requires~~, each Member State~~s to~~ may ensure that the share of energy from renewable energy sources in all forms of transport in 2020 is at least 10% of their final energy consumption. The blending of biofuels is one of the methods available for Member States to meet this target, and is expected to be the main contributor. Amendment 42 # Laurence J.A.J. STASSEN Proposal for a directive Recital 4 (4) Where pasture or agricultural land previously destined for the food, feed and fibre markets is diverted to biofuel production, the non-fuel demand will still need to be satisfied either through intensification of current production or by bringing non-agricultural land into production elsewhere. The latter case represents indirect land-use change and when it involves the conversion of high carbon stock land it can lead to significant greenhouse gas emissions. Directives 98/70/EC and 2009/28/EC should therefore include provisions to address indirect land use change given that current biofuels are mainly produced from crops grown on existing agricultural land.deleted Amendment 123 # Laurence J.A.J. STASSEN Proposal for a directive Recital 17 (17) In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Directive, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 laying down the rules and general principles concerning mechanisms for control by the Member States of the Commission's exercise of implementing powers.deleted Amendment 133 # Laurence J.A.J. STASSEN Proposal for a directive Recital 20 (20) The Commission should review the effectiveness of the measures introduced by this Directive, based on the best and latest available scientific evidence, in limiting indirect land-use change greenhouse gas emissions and addressing ways to further minimise that impact, which could include the introduction of estimated indirect land-use change emission factors in the sustainability scheme as of 1st January 2021.deleted Amendment 142 # Laurence J.A.J. STASSEN Proposal for a directive Recital 21 (21) It is of particular importance that the Commission in application of this Directive carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level. The Commission, when preparing and drawing up delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and to the Council.deleted source: PE-510.481
2	2012/2005(INI) Implementation of the Single European Sky legislation 2013/05/08 ITRE 2 amendments... Amendment 190 # Laurence J.A.J. STASSEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 11 11. Believes that investment in infrastructure needs to be encouraged through stable and innovation-friendly regulatory frameworks, recognising that it cannot be achieved unless market-driven; ~~recognises, however, that, in certain cases, key infrastructure may not be commercially viable, thus requiring public funding;~~ Amendment 211 # Laurence J.A.J. STASSEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 13. Notes that a stable regulatory framework – for producers, regulators, network operators, energy suppliers, demand-related service providers and, most importantly, end consumers and prosumers – is essential for a well-functioning internal market and for attracting long-term investment in infrastructure development; ~~underlines that development of network codes and rules should lead to harmonisation of procedures and interoperability~~; source: PE-510.685
2	2012/2103(INI) Energy roadmap 2050, a future with energy 2012/01/10 ITRE 2 amendments... Amendment 220 # Laurence J.A.J. STASSEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 11 11. Stresses that ~~a more European approach to~~ renewable policy is key in the medium to long term; encourages Member States to work together in order to optimise the cost efficiency of renewables expansion and to ensure that investments are made where they will be most productive and efficient, taking into account the specific characteristics of Member States; ~~highlights, in this context, the Commission’s important role as a facilitator;~~ points out that renewables will, in the long term, move to the centre of the energy mix in Europe, as they progress from technology development to mass production and deployment, from small- scale to larger-scale – integrating local and more remote sources – and from subsidised to competitive; emphasises that the changing nature of renewables requires changes in policy to be made with a view to achieving greater market integration; highlights the need for support schemes to be ~~phased out~~scrapped as technologies and supply chains mature and market failures are resolved; Amendment 425 # Laurence J.A.J. STASSEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 28 28. Underlines the importance of strengthening cooperation and dialogue with other strategic energy partners; stresses the importance of ~~the EU speaking with one voice vis-à-vis~~Member States adopting a Community approach in their relations with third parties on energy matter~~s; emphasises the role of the Commission in coordinating and supporting Member States’ action~~s; source: PE-496.406
9	2012/2259(INI) Current challenges and opportunities for renewable energy on the European internal energy market 2012/12/20 ITRE 9 amendments... Amendment 6 # Laurence J.A.J.

STASSEN Motion for a resolution Recital C C. whereas one of the aims of European Union energy policy – in a spirit of solidarity among the Member States, as part of the creation of the single market and in accordance with the need to conserve and improve the environment – is to promote the development of new and renewable energy sourcessubsidies for renewable energy sources have a distortive effect on the market and are uneconomical; Amendment 84 # Laurence J.A.J. STASSEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 2. Emphasises that secure, affordable and environmentally sound energy provision is indispensable for the competitiveness of European industry; emphasises, therefore, that the energy supply system needs to be overhauled and the share of RES increased in a manner that is cost- efficient and without prejudice to supply security energy provision should not be dependent on weather conditions; Amendment 132 # Laurence J.A.J. STASSEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 5. Is concerned that, so far, only some of the renewables on the energy market are economically competitive, although certain other technologies are closing the gap with market prices; agrees with the Commission that all available means must be used to bring the costs down and make RES economically competitive;deleted Amendment 203 # Laurence J.A.J. STASSEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 10 10. ~~Emphasises that RES must be fully in~~Reitegrate~~d into the European internal energy market in all the Member St~~s that under the Treaties ~~without delay and that in the long term they must take on stabilising functions and tasks within the system that have previously been performed by conventional energy sour~~the choice of energy mix is a Member State competences; Amendment 311 # Laurence J.A.J. STASSEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 18 18. Emphasises that the further development of RES will entail permanent landscape change in Europe; points out that the only way to win public acceptance of RES is through transparent planning, construction and licensing procedures, in which all the stakeholders are involveddamage to the landscape and landscape experiences in Europe; Amendment 384 # Laurence J.A.J. STASSEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 24 ~~24. Welcomes the Commission’s announcement that it will issue a communication on energy technology policy in 2013; calls on the Commission to include a focus on storage technologies;~~deleted Amendment 434 # Laurence J.A.J. STASSEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 28 28. ~~Welcom~~Stresses the Commission’s declared intention to draw up guidelines on good practice and the reform of national support arrangements; calls on the Commission to produce the guidelines as soon as possible but is convinced that good-practice guidelines are only a first step aimportance of a realistic view of renewable energy sources; notes that wind turbine blades are made from a combination of polyester and polyurethane which are difficult to recycle after use; notes that a wind turbine blade only has a lifetime of fifteen to twenty years and that the waste processing of old blades is burdensome; finds th~~at efforts need to be directed at winding down the national support systems, although they must not be retrospectively amended or cancelled because that woul~~erefore that the construction of wind turbines not only has negative consequences for the environment but also fails to achieve the intended sen~~d out disastrous signals to investor~~vironmental objectives; Amendment 484 # Laurence J.A.J. STASSEN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 30 30. Calls on the Commission to bring forward, without delay, a proposal for a European support system in which a market for renewable-energy certificates will make for EU-wide competition among the various technologies;deleted source: PE-500.604
9	2013/2082(INI) 2013/05/13 AFET 9 amendments... Amendment 18 # Laurence J.A.J. STASSEN Motion for a resolution Recital E E. whereas according to the standards of international law, countries have the duty to provide effective protection to all their citizens and all other inhabitants; whereas discrimination based on religion or belief still exists in all regions of the world, and persons belonging to particular religious communities, including religious minorities, or non-believers, continue to be denied their human rights in many countries - especially in islamic countries where non-muslims, like christians and jews, are regularly being discriminated, arrested, convicted and sometimes even executed because of their religion; Amendment 22 # Laurence J.A.J.
