Amendment 44 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 26 (26) For the purposes of protection of personal data, and to exclude systematic comparisons which should be forbidden, the processing of EURODAC data should only take place on a case-by-case basis and when it is necessary for the purposes of preventing, detecting and investigating terrorist offences and other serious criminal offences. In addition access should only be allowed when comparisons with the national databases of the Member State, the Visa Information System and with the Automated Fingerprint Databases of other Member States under the Council Decision 2008/615/JHA of 23 June 2008 on the stepping up of cross-border cooperation, particularly in combating terrorism and cross-border crime have returned negative results. This condition requires prior implementation of the Council Decision as it shall not be permitted to conduct a EURODAC check for law enforcement purposes where these above steps have not been first undertaken. A specific case exists in particular when the request for comparison is connected to a specific and concrete situation or to a specific and concrete danger associated with a terrorist or other serious criminal offence, or to specific persons in respect of whom there are serious grounds for believing that the persons will commit or have committed terrorist offences or other serious criminal offences. A specific case also exists when the request for comparison is connected to a person who is a victim of a terrorist or other serious criminal offence. The designated authorities and Europol should thus only request a comparison with EURODAC when they have reasonable grounds to believe that such a comparison will provide information that will substantially assist them in preventing, detecting or investigating a terrorist or other serious criminal offence.
Amendment 50 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 33 (33) Transfers of data obtained pursuant to this Decision to third countries or international organisations or private entities should be prohibited, in order to ensure the right to asylum and to safeguard applicants for international protection from having their data disclosed to any third country. This prohibition shall be without prejudice to the right of Member States to transfer such data to third countries to which Regulation (EU) No […/…] [establishing the criteria and mechanisms for determining the Member State responsible for examining an application for international protection lodged in one of the Member States by a third-country national or a stateless person] applies, in order to ensure that Member States have the possibility of cooperating with such third countries for the purposes of this Regulation. This right should not apply to transfers of data to third countries in the context of law enforcement.

Amendment 79 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 5 – paragraph 1 1. For the purposes laid down in Article 1(2), Member States shall designate the authorities which are authorised to access EURODAC data pursuant to this Regulation. Designated authorities shall be authorities of the Member States which are responsible for the prevention, detection or investigation of terrorist offences and other serious criminal offences.
Amendment 83 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 6 – paragraph 1 1. Each Member State shall designate a single national body to act as its verifying authority. The verifying authority shall be an authority of the Member State which is responsible for the prevention, detection or investigation of terrorist offences and other serious criminal offences and shall be independent from the designated authorities referred to in Article 5.
Amendment 85 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 6 – paragraph 1 a (new) 1a. The verifying authority shall perform its duties and tasks independently and shall neither seek nor receive instructions as regards the exercise of the verification.
Amendment 89 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 7 – paragraph 1 1. Europol shall designate a specialised unit with duly empowered Europol officials to act as its verifying authority, which will neither seek nor receive instructions as regards the exercise of the verification, and shall designate in agreement with any Member State the National Access Point of that Member State which shall communicate its requests for comparison of fingerprint data to the Central System.
Amendment 106 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 17 – paragraph 4 a (new) 4a. Once the results of the comparison have been transmitted to the Member State of origin, the Central System shall immediately: (a) erase the fingerprint data and other data transmitted to it pursuant to paragraph 1; and (b) destroy the media used by the Member State of origin for transmitting the data to the Central System, unless the Member State of origin has requested their return.
Amendment 112 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 18 Amendment 115 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 19 – paragraph 1 1. The designated authorities referred to in Article 5(1) and Europol may submit a reasoned electronic request as provided for in Article 20(1) to the verifying authority for the transmission for comparison of fingerprint data to the EURODAC Central System via the National Access Point. Upon receipt of such a request, the verifying authority shall verify whether the conditions for requesting a comparison referred to in Article 20 or Article 21, as appropriate, are fulfilled.
Amendment 119 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 20 – paragraph 1 – introductory part 1. Designated authorities may request the comparison of fingerprint data with those stored in the EURODAC central database within the scope of their powers only if comparisons of national fingerprint databases, the Visa Information System and of the Automated Fingerprint Databases of at least a third of other Member States under Decision 2008/615/JHA return negative results and where all the following cumulative conditions are met:
Amendment 123 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 20 – paragraph 1 – point c (c) there is an overriding public security concern which makes proportionate the querying of a database registering persons with a clean criminal record, and there are reasonable grounds to consider that such comparison with EURODAC data will substantially contribute to the prevention, detection or investigation of any of the criminal offences in question because there are serious grounds to believe that persons in respect of whom comparison with EURODAC is requested will commit or have committed terrorist offences or other serious criminal offences or are victims of a terrorist or serious criminal offence.
Amendment 125 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 20 – paragraph 1 – point c a (new) (ca) there is a substantiated suspicion that the suspect, perpetrator or victim of a terrorist or other serious criminal offence has applied for international protection.

This prohibition shall be without prejudice to the right of Member States to transfer such data to third countries to which the Dublin Regulation applies provided that the Member State transferring such data has obtained the commitment of the third country that it will not transfer or made available to any third country or international organisation or a private entity established in or outside the European Union this personal data.
Amendment 172 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 40 – paragraph 5 5. Three years after the start of application of this Regulation as provided for in Article 46(2) and every four years thereafter, the Commission shall produce an overall evaluation of EURODAC, examining the results achieved against objectives and the impact on fundamental rights and assessing the continuing validity of the underlying rationale, and any implications for future operations, including whether the operation of the search functionality for law enforcement purposes will have led to the stigmatisation of persons seeking international protection, as well as make any necessary recommendations. The Commission shall transmit the evaluation to the European Parliament and the Council.
Amendment 177 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 40 – paragraph 8 8. Each Member State and Europol shall prepare annual reports on the effectiveness of the comparison of fingerprint data with EURODAC data for law enforcement access purposes, containing information and statistics on the exact purpose of the comparison, including the type of a terrorist offence or a serious criminal offence, grounds given for reasonable suspicion, number of requests for comparison, the number and type of cases which have ended in successful identifications and on the need and use made of the exceptional case of urgency as well as on those cases where that urgency was not accepted by the ex post verification carried out by the verifying authority. Such reports shall be transmitted to the Commission. Based on these annual reports and in addition to the overall evaluation provided for in paragraph 5, the Commission shall compile an annual report on law enforcement access to EURODAC and shall transmit the evaluation to the European Parliament, the Council and the EDPS.

Amendment 15 #
Motion for a resolution Recital C c (new) Cc. whereas the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union incorporates the notion of a social market economy, a social clause, and a protocol on Services of General Interest defining the values that are shared in the EU, to ensure European policies develop in a way that meets the aspirations of Europe’s citizens,
Amendment 27 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 2. Deplores, further, the fact that, in particular as a result of the plethora of soft law proposals put forward by the Commission and Commission departments and of the interpretation of the relevant legal provisions by European courts, the interaction between European, national and regional law has given rise to a complicated and confusing set of rules which is creating, in particular for smaller local authorities and for small and medium-sized undertakings, serious legal problems which they can no longer overcome without incurring substantial administrative costs or seeking external legal advice; urges the Commission to remedy this situation and, as part of the Better Lawmaking initiative, to examine the impact of soft law proposals and assess them in the light of the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality and taking into account the five principles set out in the 2001 White Paper on European Governance (openness, participation, accountability, effectiveness and coherence);
Amendment 32 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 4 4. Criticises the lack of transparency regarding the composition and results of the work of the internal Commission advisory committee on public procurement and calls on the Commission to take steps to ensure that both this committee and the planned new committee on public-private partnerships have a balanced composition including the social partners and work in a transparent manner;
Amendment 40 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 5. Calls on the Commission, when reviewing the public procurement directives, to take account of the opinions expressed in this report; expects that review to be carried out with the full involvement of all stakeholders, but warns that it regards a revision of the directives at this juncture as premature; when such a revision is carried out at a later date, however, advocates that it should also encompass the directive on review procedures concerning public contracts, in order to prevent any further fragmentation of public procurement law; takes the view that the practical impact of that directive cannot yet be assessed, as it has not been transposed in all the Member States, calls on the Commission to apply the relevant Treaty provisions to public procurement;
Amendment 74 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 9 9. Notes the Commission Communication of 19 November 2009 on the development of public-private partnerships and awaits the relevant impact assessment with great interest; expects the Commission to draw lessons from failing PPPs; emphasises that due account must be taken of both the complexity of the procedures and the differences in legal culture and practice between the Member States with regard to service concessions, and doubts, therefore, whether a proposal for a legal act dealing with service concessions would have any added value; takes the view that with the 2004 public procurement directives and the supplementary case-law of the CJEU the process of defining the term ‘service concession’ and establishing the legal framework governing such concessions has been completed;
Amendment 75 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 9 a (new) 9a. Is of the view that public contracts concern public funds and that therefore public contracts should be transparent and open for public scrutiny; asks the Commission to clarify this so local and other public authorities have certainty that they can inform their citizens of the contractual obligations entered into;
Amendment 97 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 13. Draws attention to the great importance of public procurement for climate protection, energy efficiency, the environment and innovation and reiterates that public authorities should be encouraged and put in a position to base public procurement on ecological, social and other criteria; regrets that the Commission has still not published a Guide on Socially Responsible Public Procurement; welcomes the practical assistance given to public authorities and other public bodies in connection with sustainable procurement and urges the Commission and the Member States to
Amendment 114 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 15 15. Emphasises the lack of clarity in the area of socially responsible public procurement and calls on the Commission to provide assistance in the form of manuals and ‘quality of work’ criteria to support public authorities in integrating employment-related social considerations in public procurement; in that connection, draws attention to the changes in the legal framework brought about by the Lisbon Reform Treaty and the Charter of Fundamental Rights and looks to the Commission to implement the relevant provisions in an appropriate manner; considers that the new EU legal framework strengthens the legitimacy of ILO Convention 94 on labour clauses in public contracts and that Member States who have not yet ratified the Convention should be encouraged to do so; emphasises the underlying problem that social criteria relate to the manufacturing process, so that their impact is generally indiscernible in the final product, and that globalised production systems and complex supply chains make compliance with the criteria difficult to monitor; expects, therefore, precise, verifiable criteria and a database containing product- specific criteria to be developed for the area of socially responsible public procurement as well; draws attention to the problems contracting authorities have, and the costs they incur, in verifying compliance with criteria and calls on the Commission to offer suitable assistance and to promote instruments which can be used to certify the reliability of supply chains; calls on the Commission to assist Member States monitor and evaluate the impact of public procurement processes on the quality of goods and services and employment;

Recognises that continued self- regulation and non-legislative initiatives, where they are independent, impartial and transparent, have an important role to play in ensuring media freedom; calls on the Commission to take measures to support the independence of the media and its regulatory agencies from both the state (including at the European level) and powerful commercial interests;
Amendment 119 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 a (new) 6a. Highlights that despite the use of competition policy through the EU Merger Regulation and, in particular, Article 211 of the Merger Regulation, concern has been raised that these instruments do not adequately control media concentration due to problems of market delimitation, where in some cases large cross-media mergers fall short of turnover thresholds stipulated in EU competition policy and media pluralism; __________________ 1 Member States are permitted under Article 21, which stipulates that national authorities may protect 'legitimate interest' to enact national legislation to preserve media pluralism.
Amendment 120 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 b (new) 6b. Highlights that market power in the media industry comes not only from monopoly pricing power, but also from political influence leading to regulatory capture, making dominant positions more difficult to dismantle once they are established; calls for competition thresholds to be set lower in the media industry than in other markets;
Amendment 121 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 c (new) 6c. Reminds the Commission that on several occasions in the past it has been asked on the possibility of introducing a legal framework to prevent concentration of ownership and abuse of dominant position; calls on the Commission to propose concrete measures to safeguarding media pluralism including a legislative framework on media ownership rules introducing minimum standards for Member States;
Amendment 122 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 d (new) 6d. Believes that transparency of ownership is an essential component of media pluralism; transparency of media ownership is not guaranteed in all Member States; accurate and up-to-date data on media ownership and management should be available in order to identify excessive media concentrations, and to prevent media organisations from hiding special interests; calls on the Commission to monitor and support progress to promote greater exchange of information on media ownership;
Amendment 182 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 11 a (new) 11a. In the case of further accessions to the EU, emphasis should be added to the protection of freedoms and the freedom of speech which are widely considered to be elements of the human rights and democracy conditionality of the Copenhagen criteria; calls on the Commission to continue to monitor the performance and progress of EU candidate countries for the protection of media freedoms;
Amendment 187 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 11 b (new) 11b. Calls on the Commission to ensure that criteria based on media pluralism and ownership are included in every Impact Assessment undertaken for new initiatives on legislative proposals;

Amendment 434 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 30 a (new) (30 a) Workers’ personal data, especially sensitive data such as political orientation and trade union membership and activities, should be protected in accordance with Articles 8, 12, 27 and 28 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and Articles 8 and 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Safeguards should be implemented to avoid instances where workers’ personal data is used in the practice of blacklisting where it is passed on to other enterprises or individuals with the aim of discriminating against particular workers.
Amendment 464 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 40 (40) The processing of personal data for other purposes should be only allowed where the processing is compatible with those purposes for which the data have been initially collected, in particular such as where the processing is necessary for historical, statistical or scientific research purposes. Where the other purpose is not compatible with the initial one for which the data are collected, the controller should obtain the consent of the data subject for this other purpose or should base the processing on another legitimate ground for lawful processing, in particular where provided by Union law or the law of the Member State to which the controller is subject. In any case, the application of the principles set out by this Regulation and in particular the information of the data subject on those other purposes should be ensured.
Amendment 491 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 53 (53) Any person should have the right to have personal data concerning them rectified and a ‘right to be forgotten’ where the retention of such data is not in compliance with this Regulation.

This right is particularly relevant, when the data subject has given their consent as a child, when not being fully aware of the risks involved by the processing, and later wants to remove such personal data especially on the Internet. However, the further retention of the data should be allowed where it is necessary for historical, statistical and scientific research purposes, for reasons of public interest in the area of public health, for the purposes of processing health data for health purposes, for exercising the right of freedom of expression, when required by law or where there is a reason to restrict the processing of the data instead of erasing them.
Amendment 619 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 116 (116) For proceedings against a controller or processor, the plaintiff should have the choice to bring the action before the courts of the Member States where the controller or processor has an establishment or where the data subject resides, unless the controller is a public authority acting in the exercise of its public powers or another body which has been entrusted with a mission of public interest.
Amendment 634 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 124 (124) The general principles on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data should also be applicable to the employment and the social security context.

Amendment 639 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 125 (125) The processing of personal data for the purposes of historical, statistical or scientific research should, in order to be lawful, also respect other relevant legislation such as on clinical trials.

Proposal for a regulation Article 9 – paragraph 2 – point d (d) processing is carried out in the course of its legitimate activities with appropriate safeguards by a foundation, association or any other non-profit-seeking body with a political, philosophical, religious or trade- union aim or advocating for fundamental human rights and on condition that the processing relates solely to the members or to former members of the body or to persons who have regular contact with it in connection with its purposes and that the data are not disclosed outside that body without the consent of the data subjects; or
Amendment 1128 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 12 – paragraph 2 2. The controller shall inform the data subject without delay and, at the latest within one month of receipt of the request, whether or not any action has been taken pursuant to Article 13 and Articles 15 to 19 and shall provide the requested information. This period may be prolonged for a further month, if several data subjects exercise their rights and their cooperation is necessary to a reasonable extent to prevent an unnecessary and disproportionate effort on the part of the controller, or if the nature of the data requested requires them to be reviewed before they are made available so as to protect data relating to any third party contained within the record. The information shall be given in writing. Where the data subject makes the request in electronic form, the information shall be provided in electronic form, unless otherwise requested by the data subject.
