Amendment 202 # Boris ZALA, Libor ROUČEK Motion for a resolution Paragraph 29 a (new) 29a. Stresses the need for a renewed momentum in Turkey’s accession negotiations to avoid potential standstill in EU-Turkey relations; welcomes the statement by the General Affairs Council of 14 December 2010 calling for an intensified cooperation on security and foreign policy issues of mutual interest; takes the view that Ankara’s increasingly active foreign policy poses new challenges and opportunities for the CSFP; urges the VP/HR to engage Turkey in an institutionalized dialogue on key strategic issues - such as energy policy, stability in the Western Balkans and the Caucasus regions, Iran’s nuclear dossier, or the democratic awakening underway in the Middle East - thereby ensuring closer alignment of objectives as well as injecting new dynamism into bilateral relations; emphasizes, however, that such a dialogue should not substitute, but complement and reinforce, Turkey’s accession track; source: PE-452.878
9	2010/2298(INI) EU as a global actor: its role in multilateral organisations 2011/01/04 AFET 9 amendments... Amendment 18 # Libor ROUČEK, María MUÑIZ DE URQUIZA Motion for a resolution Recital B a (new) B a. whereas the added value of EU membership in multilateral organisations lies in the fields where it has exclusive or shared competences: economic and trade matters, environmental policy, development aid, and security and defence policy; whereas the EU can also have an added value in those multilateral organisations or summits in which not all of its members are represented, Amendment 38 # Libor ROUČEK, María MUÑIZ DE URQUIZA Motion for a resolution Recital G G. whereas the EU Member States have adopted the priority of reforming and strengthening the UN in order to provide a more equitable geographical representation, to reflect today's shifting geopolitical realities in the membership of the Security Council, and to make it capable of fulfilling its responsibilities and acting effectively in providing solutions to global challenges and responding to key threats, whereas the EU provides more than one third of the UN regular budget, more than two-fifths of UN peace operations, and about half of all contributions to UN funds and programmes, Amendment 60 # Libor ROUČEK Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 1. Notes that the EU's mechanisms for building consensus and taking concerted action make it a role model for a rule-based global world order and therefore stresses the need to champion an international environment that will enable the EU to promote its agenda; in particular in those fields where it has exclusive or shared competences; considers essential, with regard to the EU's aspiration to be a global actor and to safeguard its position, strengthening the internal coordination necessary to speak with one voice, the ability to shape multilateral cooperation or lead collective action in addressing international challenges; Amendment 66 # Libor ROUČEK Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 2. Stresses that the Union – by enhancing cooperation, improving institutions and engaging all stakeholders – should take a lead in global governance reform to make international institutions more legitimate, effective and conducive to shared responsibility, while promoting its own interests in the process; insists that the EU should evaluate its contribution to global governance reform and how it can take advantage of reforms to identify a stronger role for itself; Amendment 88 # Libor ROUČEK Motion for a resolution Paragraph 7 7. Is of the view that in cases of exclusive Union competences, the EU should be the pre-eminent actor with full membership of the given multilateral organisation, while its Member States may also – but not necessarily – be present as members, but usually without an independent role; calls on EU Member States to reduce their representation, and thus costs, at meetings where the EU Delegation speaks on their behalf, and takes the view, furthermore, that where shared Union competences prevail, the norm should be for the EU and its Member States both to be members, while avoiding different voting behaviours of the EU and individual Member States; Amendment 120 # Libor ROUČEK Motion for a resolution Paragraph 14 14. Considering the EU's economic and monetary competences, the euro area's global reach and its increased responsibility with respect to the stability of the global economy, insists that a single view should be presented when contributing to international economic and financial governance; Amendment 130 # Libor ROUČEK Motion for a resolution Paragraph 18 18. Considering that regular meetings take place already on all levels, permanent military liaison arrangements have already been established and occasional joint meetings are organised between the EU's Political and Security Committee (PSC) and NATO's North Atlantic Council (NAC), calls on the EU and NATO to redouble their efforts towards the establishment of a framework for integrated cooperation including permanent structures for cooperation, while respecting the autonomy and different character of both organisations; notes that the 'Berlin plus' arrangements need to be improved in order to allow the two organisations to intervene and effectively deliver relief in crisis situations which demand a multi- task civilian-military response; proposes that mutual observer status should be established at the level of the NAC and the PSC in order to improve cooperative arrangements in the spirit of the Treaty of Lisbon and following the adoption by NATO of its new strategic concept as well as due to the ambition to develop an EU- NATO strategic partnership; Amendment 136 # Libor ROUČEK Motion for a resolution Paragraph 19 19. In the context of a formal agreement between the EU and the OSCE, calls for serious reflection on how the EU can take on greater responsibilities and participate more efficiently in achieving joint objectives, for which implementing a system of permanent dialogue, agreeing on joint initiatives and coordinating local activities may be appropriate instruments; calls on the EU and its Member States and the OSCE Permanent Council to jointly develop a mechanism aimed at enhancing cooperation, coordination and consultations between the two organisations; considering also that Article 220(1) TFEU explicitly added the OSCE to the list of international organisations with which 'appropriate forms of cooperation' are to be established, emphasises the need for the VPC/HR to represent the EU as an observer at the OSCE ~~and to take the lead as spokesperson and coordinator~~; in view of strengthening relations with the OSCE, it deems necessary to reflect ofn the pos~~ition of EU Member States on OSCE matters~~sibility of a better dialogue at parliamentary level, by establishing a standing delegation to the OSCE PA, as is the case with the NATO PA; Amendment 141 # Libor ROUČEK Motion for a resolution Paragraph 20 20. In order to enhance EU-CoE multilateral cooperation in the fields important for the EU as well, i.e. in education, human rights, the rule of law, democracy and good governance, ~~as well as considering that the EU is the largest contributor to joint operating programmes with the CoE,~~ underlines the need to ref~~orm~~lect upon the EU's presence and observer status in the CoE; while emphasises the right to attend, with voting rights on behalf of the EU, meetings of the CoE Committee of Ministers when it performs, inter alia, its task of monitoring the execution of judgments given by the European Court of Human Rights as well as the right to be represented on the Steering Committee for Human Rightsing that the EU has no exclusive competences in this field; source: PE-462.622
