2010/02/03
REGI
4 amendments...
Amendment 4 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 a (new) 1a. Stresses that a proactive approach is more effective and less costly than one based simply on reacting to disasters; takes the view that knowledge of the local geographic, economic and social context is fundamental to the prevention of natural and man-made disasters;
Amendment 13 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 3. Stresses that the effects of disasters are not confined within the formal and administrative boundaries of regions and Member States; believes, therefore, that the identification of particularly risk-prone areas, such as the isolated and extremely remote regions and certain other regions or islands in the European Union which have special characteristics and specific needs linked to their geography, their topography and the economic and social conditions under which their inhabitants live, should go hand in hand with establishing priority objectives and cooperation mechanisms in such areas; calls on regions to build on already existing territorial cooperation networks in order to develop cooperation focusing more specifically on disaster prevention; believes that the macro-regions, with their functionally-oriented cooperation independent of administrative boundaries, can become effective platforms for cooperation in the field of disaster prevention;

Amendment 20 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 a (new) 3a.

2010/01/13
CULT
12 amendments...
Amendment 5 #
Motion for a resolution Recital B a (new) Ba. whereas the European digital library should be more than a digital collection with information management tools, but should rather embrace the development of a whole range of technical capacities and resources for the creation, research and use of information,
Amendment 6 #
Motion for a resolution Recital D D. whereas account must be taken of the rapid development of new technologies with resulting changes in cultural practices, and of existing digitisation projects outside Europe,
Amendment 18 #
Motion for a resolution Recital I I. whereas urgent efforts are needed to solve the issue of a "digital black hole" with regard to 20th and 21st century content, where works of high cultural value are languishing unused; whereas any solution must take proper account of the interests of all parties involved; whereas, notably, a two-tier protection system must not be created through the presumption that no rightholders exist,
Amendment 22 #
Motion for a resolution Recital I a (new) Ia. whereas any protected or disclosed work for which, despite a documented and serious search being made, one or more copyright holders or holders of related rights cannot be identified or located should be considered an orphan work,
Amendment 26 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 a (new) 1a. States that the primary role of the Europeana digital library should be to protect European cultural heritage so that future generations may be able to put together a collective European memory and more fragile documents may be protected from the damage caused by constant use;
Amendment 39 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 7 7. Urges the Commission and Member States to take all necessary steps to avoid a knowledge gap between Europe and
Amendment 44 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 9 9. Encourages content providers to increase the diversity of the types of content for Europeana, especially audio and video content, paying special attention to those works which deteriorate easily, while respecting intellectual property rights, especially authors and performers' rights; stresses, in this regard, the importance of respecting moral rights in order to protect the integrity of the work, and avoid any possible changes (censorship, alterations to works, etc.);
Amendment 47 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 9 a (new) 9a. Acknowledges that Europeana’s success depends mainly on appropriate copyright protection and on prior authorisation by, and the remuneration of, publishers and authors for the content they have agreed to provide via Europeana as well as the sums they have invested in producing and disseminating said content;
Amendment 48 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 10 a (new) 10a. Stresses that the digital library must not depart from its prime objective, namely to ensure that the dissemination of knowledge on the Internet is not left to private commercial firms, in order that the digitisation of works does not equate to a stranglehold on Europe’s public heritage that results in the public domain being privatised;
Amendment 68 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 18 18. Stresses that, in order to meet the high costs of digitisation and time pressures, new methods of financing must be developed, such as public-private partnerships on the basis of well- understood conditions and common guidelines, ensuring digitised files will be freely available to libraries with no time limits;
Amendment 74 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 18 a (new) 18a. Recalls that the involvement of private partners in the digitisation process must not lead to the creation of private monopolies, which would threaten cultural diversity and pluralism, and that compliance with the rules of competition is a prerequisite to the involvement of private companies;
Amendment 80 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 19 a (new) 19a. Stresses that sponsorship is an interesting alternative for Europeana insofar as it offers an opportunity to fund not just digitisation activities but also the management of copyright payments for out-of-print, orphan and copyrighted works, as well as putting them online;

Amendment 2 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 1.
Amendment 8 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 2. Stresses that in a globalised world the single market has to ensure the best possible business environment for enterprises, and to take the specific nature and diversity of SMEs into account in order to foster job creation, innovation and entrepreneurship in all EU regions, including rural areas; welcomes, therefore, the planned assessment of the ‘Small Business Act’ and the reinforcement of the ‘Think Small First’ principle; draws attention to the importance of local businesses for social ties, employment and dynamism in disadvantaged areas, particularly urban districts facing difficulties or sparsely populated areas; calls for them to receive staunch support under the Union’s regional policy;
Amendment 17 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 4 4. Stresses that single market accessibility for all EU regions is a prerequisite for the free movement of people, goods, capital and services, and thus for a strong and dynamic single market; points out, in this connection, the essential role played by the Union's regional policy in terms of developing infrastructure, particularly in the less developed, border and outermost regions; advocates a regional approach making use of the Structural Funds to encourage investment in cross-border energy, transport, communication, health, environmental, research and education infrastructure in order to provide access to essential services for all and to ensure harmonious functioning of the internal market; calls for the development of innovative sources of funding (such as public-private partnerships, project bonds and user charges); calls on the Commission and the Member States jointly to address the complexity of the rules governing revenue-
Amendment 33 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 6 6.

Amendment 45 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 8 a (new) 8a. Stresses that the single market requires an adequately funded regional policy for the period after 2013 and that its budget must on no account be less than that which applies during the current period, 2007-2013;
Amendment 49 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 9 9. Takes the view that territorial cooperation (including European Groupings of Territorial Cooperation (EGTCs) and macro-regional strategies) makes a decisive contribution to removing visible and invisible internal borders within the single market and further developing that market; calls, in this connection, for the post-2013 budget for territorial cooperation to be increased; would like access to European regional cooperation funding to be simplified to facilitate participation, inter alia, by private parties;

2011/0273(COD) European Regional Development Fund (ERDF): support to the European territorial cooperation goal
2012/04/06
REGI
41 amendments...
Amendment 46 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 1 (1) Article 176 of the Treaty provides that the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is intended to help to redress the main regional imbalances in the Union. In accordance with Article 174 of the Treaty, the ERDF contributes to reducing disparities between the levels of development of the various regions and the backwardness of the least favoured regions, among which particular attention should be paid to rural areas, areas affected by industrial transition, and regions which suffer from severe and permanent natural or demographic handicaps such as the northernmost regions with very low population density and island, cross-border and mountain regions. In accordance with Article 349 of the Treaty, the outermost regions may benefit from specific measures relating in particular to conditions of access to structural funds and to horizontal Union programmes.
Amendment 74 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 13 (13) For the benefit of the regions of the Union, a mechanism to organise support from the ERDF to external policy instruments such as ENI, EDF and IPA should be set up, including where external cooperation programmes cannot be adopted or have to be discontinued.
Amendment 87 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 20 (20) Based on the experience from the 2007-13 programming period, the conditions for the selection of operations shoul d be clarified and strengthened in order to ensure selection of only genuinely joint operations. Furthermore, an adapted approach should take into consideration the specific context of cooperation with third countries. The notion of sole beneficiaries should be defined and it should be clarified that they are permitted to carry out cooperation operations by themselves.
Amendment 91 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 27 (27) The rules on flexibility concerning the location of operations out side the programme area should be simplified. In addition, it is necessary to support and facilitate, through specific arrangements, effective cross-border, transnational and interregional cooperation with the Union's neighbouring third countries where this is necessary to ensure that the regions of the Member States which border third countries can be effectively assisted in their development. Accordingly, it is appropriate to authorise on an exceptional basis and under certain conditions the financing of assistance from the ERDF for operations located on the territory of third countries where the operations are for the benefit of the regions of the Union.
Amendment 98 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 31 Amendment 100 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 35 (35) It is necessary to clarify the applicable rules concerning financial management, programming, monitoring, evaluation and control regarding the participation of third countries in cross-border, transnational and interregional cooperation programmes, particulary when outermost regions are involved. Those rules should be established in the relevant cooperation programme and/or the relevant financing agreement between the Commission, each of the third countries and the Member State hosting the managing authority of the relevant cooperation programme.

Amendment 161 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 28 (28) Agri-environment-climate payments should continue to play a prominent role in supporting the sustainable development of rural areas and in responding to society's increasing demands for environmental services. They should further encourage farmers and other land managers to serve society as a whole by introducing or continuing to apply agricultural practices contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation and compatible with the protection and improvement of the environment, the landscape and its features, natural resources, the soil and genetic diversity. In this context the conservation of genetic resources in agriculture and the additional needs of farming systems that are of high nature value should be given specific attention. Payments should contribute to covering additional costs and income foregone resulting from the commitments undertaken and should only cover commitments going beyond relevant mandatory standards and requirements, in accordance with the "polluter pays" principle. In many situations the synergies resulting from commitments undertaken jointly by a group of farmers multiply the environmental and climate benefit. However, joint action brings additional transaction costs which should be compensated adequately. In order to ensure that farmers and other land managers are in a position to correctly implement the commitments they have undertaken, Member States should endeavour to provide them with the required skills and knowledge. Member States should maintain the level of efforts made during the 2007-2013 programming period and have to spend a minimum of

These activities should promote cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue. They should also promote culture as a catalyst for creativity within the framework of growth and jobs and as a social bridge-builder, as well as a vital element in the Union
Amendment 56 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 5 (5) In addition to the original objectives of the European Capitals of Culture, which were to highlight the richness and diversity of European cultures and the features they share and to promote greater mutual understanding between European citizens, cities holding the title have also progressively added a new dimension by using the leverage effect of the title to stimulate the city’s more general development, not least where urban development is concerned.

Amendment 99 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 (6) Those provisions also ensure that the operations supported shall comply with applicable Union and national laws, notably in regard to the safety of the goods and the quality of the food products that are distributed to the most deprived persons.
Amendment 102 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 (7) In order to set out an appropriate financial framework, the Commission should establish, by means of implementing acts, an annual breakdown of global resources by Member State using an objective and transparent method reflecting disparities in terms of poverty, relative poverty and material deprivation.
Amendment 109 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 (8) The operational programme of each Member State should identify and justify the forms of material deprivation to be addressed, giving priority to food deprivation, and describe the objectives and features of the assistance to the most deprived persons that will be provided through the support of national schemes. It should also include elements necessary to ensure effective and efficient implementation of the operational programme.

Amendment 127 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 17 (17) [Proposal for a] Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) provides that products bought under public intervention may be disposed of by making them available for the scheme for food distribution to the most deprived in the Union if that scheme so provides. Given that, depending on the circumstances, obtaining of food from the use, processing or sale of such stocks might be economically the most favourable option, it is appropriate to provide for such a possibility in this Regulation. The amounts derived from a transaction concerning the stocks should be used for the benefit of the most deprived, and should not be applied so as to diminish the obligation of the Member States to co- finance the programme. These amounts are additional to the budget of this Fund. In order to ensure the most efficient possible use of the intervention stocks and the proceeds thereof, the Commission should in accordance with Article 19(e) of the Regulation (EU) No [CMO] adopt implementing acts establishing procedures by which the products in intervention stocks may be used, processed or sold for the purposes of the most deprived programme.
