Amendment 2 # Morten MESSERSCHMIDT Motion for a resolution Recital A A. whereas, in case law which has remained consistent since the 1970s, the Court of Justice has held that fundamental rights form an integral part of the general legal principles ~~which the Court enforces~~, Amendment 4 # Morten MESSERSCHMIDT Motion for a resolution Recital D D. whereas the Court of Justice devotes particular attention to the development of the case law of the European Court of Human Rights, as demonstrated by the growing number of judgments which refer to provisions of the ECHR, and need not itself develop this case law, Amendment 6 # Morten MESSERSCHMIDT Motion for a resolution Recital E E. whereas ~~in principle~~ the European Court of Human Rights makes a basic 'presumption of compatibility' of the conduct of a Member State of the Union with the ECHR when the State is merely implementing Community law, Amendment 9 # Morten MESSERSCHMIDT Motion for a resolution Recital G G. whereas Article 6(2) of the Treaty on European Union provides that the European Union shall accede to the ECHR and whereas Protocol No 8 to the Lisbon Treaty lists a series of points concerning which provision must be made ~~at the time of~~prior to that accession; whereas ~~these~~ provision~~s do not merely constitute an option allowing the Union to accede but require the Union institutions~~ must be made for these points prior to thact acc~~ordingly,~~ession; Amendment 17 # Morten MESSERSCHMIDT Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 – indent 1 – the incorporation of the Charter of Fundamental Rights into its primary law, its accession to the ECHR will send a strong signal concerning the coherence between the Union and ~~'wider Europe', constituted by~~ the Council of Europe and its pan-European human rights system; this accession will also enhance the credibility of the Union in the eyes of third countries which it regularly calls upon in its bilateral reports to respect the ECHR, Amendment 21 # Morten MESSERSCHMIDT Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 2. Recalls that~~, pursuant to~~ neither the entry into force of the Charter within the Treaty, nor accession ~~does not~~to the ECHR entails any extension of the powers of the Union and in particular does not create a general human rights competence for the Union; Amendment 28 # Morten MESSERSCHMIDT Motion for a resolution Paragraph 4 4. Observes that the ECHR system has been supplemented by a series of additional protocols concerning the protection of rights which are not covered by the ECHR and suggests that the Union should accede to all the protocols which ~~at least partially~~ concern matters where the Union possesses powers ~~(Nos 1, 4, 7 and 12)~~; Amendment 33 # Morten MESSERSCHMIDT Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 – indent 3 – the right for the European Parliament to appoint/send a certain number of representatives, which should at least include participants from all groups of the European Parliament, to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe when the latter elects judges to the European Court of Human Rights; Amendment 38 # Morten MESSERSCHMIDT Motion for a resolution Paragraph 7 7. Considers that any application by a citizen of the Union concerning an act or failure to act by an institution or body of the Union should be directed solely against the latter and that similarly any application concerning a measure by means of which a Member State implements the law of the Union should be directed solely against the Member State, without prejudice to the principle that, ~~where~~if there can be any doubt as to the way in which responsibility ~~for the act concerned is shared between the Union and the Member State is not clearly defin~~is shared, an application may be brought simultaneously against the Union and the Member State; Amendment 43 # Morten MESSERSCHMIDT Motion for a resolution Paragraph 8 8. Considers it appropriate that, in the interests of the proper administration of justice, in any case brought against a Member State before the European Court of Human Rights which may raise an issue concerning the law of the Union, the Union may, after being authorised by the Court, be permitted to appear as a defendant in the case, and that in any case brought against the Union any Member State may, after being authorised by the Court, be permitted to appear as a defendant in the case;deleted Amendment 46 # Morten MESSERSCHMIDT Motion for a resolution Paragraph 9 9. Considers that it would be unwise to formalise relations between the Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights by establishing a preliminary ruling procedure before the latter or by creating a body or panel which would take decisions when one of the two courts intended to adopt an interpretation of the ECHR which differed from that adopted by the other; recalls in this context Declaration No 2 concerning Article 6(2) of the Treaty on European Union, which notes the existence of a regular dialogue between the Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights, which should be reinforced when the Union accedes to the ECHRRefers to the fact that the European Court of Human Rights’ interpretation of the ECHR always takes precedence over any interpretation given by the Court; Amendment 49 # Morten MESSERSCHMIDT Motion for a resolution Paragraph 10 10. Notes that ~~the ECHR has an important function in connection with the interpretation of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, as~~ rights guaranteed by the Charter which correspond to rights recognised by the ECHR must be interpreted in accordance with the Convention and as, by virtue of Article 6(3) of the Treaty on European Union, the ECHR constitutes a source of inspiration for the Court of Justice in the formulation of general principles of the Union's law; notes likewise that, pursuant to Article 53 of the ECHR, the Convention cannot be interpreted as limiting or adversely affecting the rights recognised by the Charter of Fundamental Rights, so that the latter retains its full legal force; Amendment 55 # Morten MESSERSCHMIDT Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 13. Notes that accession by the Union to the ECHR constitutes an essential step which should subsequently be complemented by accession by the Union to the European Social Charter, signed in Turin on 18 October 1961 and revised in Strasbourg on 3 May 1996, which would be consistent with the progress already enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights and in the social legislation of the Union;deleted source: PE-440.010

5	2011/0901(COD) Court of Justice: statute (amend. Protocol and Annex I) 2011/11/11 AFCO 4 amendments... Amendment 13 # Morten MESSERSCHMIDT Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 a (new) (9a) In cases of major importance before the Court of Justice, namely cases concerning fundamental questions pertaining to the legal order of the European Union, there should be the possibility for a Judge to announce, during the Court's deliberations, that he intends to deliver a dissenting opinion as to the judgment or the reasons on which it is based, to be published together with the judgment. This possibility, which exists in numerous constitutional courts of Member States of the European Union and in the European Court of Human Rights, ensures that the public is aware of the fact that there is not a sole answer to the question before the Court and that legally sound alternatives are conceivable, and may thus have an influence on future judicial practice. It contributes, moreover, to a better understanding and, in a legal system which is largely based on case-law such as that of the European Union, to a better interpretation and application of the Court's findings. Dissenting opinions must be utilised in a way that ensures the necessary authority of the Court and does not compromise the secrecy of deliberations. They must be the sole initiative and responsibility of the Judge concerned. At the same time, they enable the majority to give the reasons for their decision in a clear and straightforward manner. Experience has shown that they do not undermine the reputation of those courts in which they are delivered, as the modalities of their delivery are entirely a matter for the court concerned. Amendment 20 # Morten MESSERSCHMIDT Proposal for a regulation Recital 10 a (new) (10a) In order to avoid any doubts as to the authority of the temporary Judges, it is of the utmost importance that they be elected in a way which does not compromise the authority of the Court and which ensures their total independence, Amendment 24 # Morten MESSERSCHMIDT Proposal for a regulation Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 4 a (new) 4a. The following paragraph shall be added to Article 35: ‘In cases concerning fundamental questions pertaining to the legal order of the European Union, where a Judge has declared, in the deliberations of the Court of Justice, his disagreement with the judgment to be delivered or the reasons on which that judgment is based, he shall be entitled to deliver a dissenting opinion. That opinion shall be published together with the judgment. Implementing rules relating to the admissibility, and the detailed procedure for the delivery, of such opinions shall be laid down in the Rules of Procedure.’. Amendment 33 # Morten MESSERSCHMIDT Proposal for a regulation Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 8 The Parliament and the Council, acting in accordance with Article 257 TFEU, may attach temporary Judges to the specialised courts in order to cover the absence of Judges who, while not suffering from disablement deemed to be total, are prevented from participating in judicial business for an extended period of time. In that event, the Parliament and the Council shall lay down the conditions under which the temporary Judges shall be appointed, their rights and duties, the detailed rules governing the performance of their duties and the circumstances in which they shall cease to perform those duties. ~~(This amendment replaces Amendment 4 of the draft opinion (PE 470.092 v01-00))~~Those provisions shall ensure, moreover, that the temporary Judges enjoy the same rights and are entitled to assume the same functions as permanent Judges, in order to guarantee the uncompromised authority of the Court's judgments.

Amendment 16 # Morten MESSERSCHMIDT A. whereas it should be emphasised that the objective of the new code of conduct is to combat all forms of corruption. Consequently all substantiated allegations of corruption should lead to suspension of parliamentary immunity and criminal investigation at the relevant courts rather than an administrative procedure initiated by the Advisory Committee. This is not only to ensure that culprits are convicted in accordance with laws against corruption, but also to ensure that the fundamental rights of a fair trial guaranteed under the provisions of Article 6 of the European Convention of Human Rights are observed, Amendment 17 # Morten MESSERSCHMIDT Parliament's Rules of Procedure Motion for a decision Recital B (new) B. whereas the suspension of parliamentary immunity is always decided upon by request from national authorities, it is stressed that any decision on such matter by the Advisory Committee shall be communicated to the relevant national authorities, source: PE-475.805

Directive 2001/37/EC confirmed this prohibition. Article 151 of the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden grants the Kingdom of Sweden derogation from this prohibition . The prohibition of the sale of oral tobacco should be maintained in order to prevent the introduction to the internal market of a product that is addictive, has adverse health effects and is attractive to young people. For other smokeless tobacco products that are not produced for the mass market, a strict labelling and ingredients regulation is considered sufficient to contain market expansion beyond their traditional useas oral tobacco has been proven to cause fewer health effects than smoking tobacco.
