2010/10/29

Amendment 28 #
Title Proposal for a Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No .../… on State aid to facilitate the closure or transition to competitivity of uncompetitive coal mines
Amendment 41 #
Recital 3 (3)
Amendment 64 #
Recital 10 (10) In accomplishing its task, the European Commission should ensure that normal conditions of competition are established, maintained and complied with. With regard to more especially the electricity market, aid to the coal industry should not be such as to affect electricity producers' choice of sources of primary energy supply. Consequently, the prices and quantities of coal should be freely agreed between the contracting parties in the light of prevailing conditions on the world market. In any event, and in order to avoid social or environmental dumping, the Union authorities should ensure that the coal from third countries which is marketed in Europe is extracted in accordance with certain social and environmental standards which are equivalent to those required in respect of European mines.
Amendment 71 #
Article 2 – paragraph 2 2. Aid shall cover only costs in connection with coal for the production of electricity, the combined production of heat and electricity, the production of coke and the fuelling of blast furnaces in the steel industry, research and investments in technology aimed at increasing energy efficiency and reducing polluting emissions from coal, where such use takes place in the Union.
Amendment 77 #
Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point a (a) the operation of the production units concerned must form part of a closure plan the deadline of which does not extend beyond 1
Amendment 83 #
Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point b (b) the production units concerned must be closed definitively in accordance with the closure plan, if they have not become competitive provided that Europe's energy needs do not require their continued operation;
Amendment 94 #
Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point f (f) the overall amount of closure aid granted by a Member State
Amendment 99 #
Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point h (h) the Member State must provide a plan to take measures aimed at mitigating the environmental impact of the use of coal
Amendment 102 #
Article 3 – paragraph 2 2. If the production units to which aid is granted pursuant to paragraph 1 are not closed at the date fixed in the closure plan as authorised by the Commission, they have not become competitive and the energy autonomy conditions of that State do not require their continued operation, the Member State concerned shall recover all aid granted in respect of the whole period covered by the closure plan.

Amendment 58 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 7 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 2 Those thresholds shall be determined taking into account the systemic relevance of the sum of net positions and exposures by counterparty per class of OTC derivatives. The systemic relevance of the sum of net positions and exposures for OTC derivatives shall be determined on the basis of appropriate quantitative and qualitative criteria for each class. In particular, credit risk exposures in connection with contracts with systemically relevant financial institutions shall be taken into account.
Amendment 67 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 8 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 2 a (new) The obligations under points (a) and (b) shall only apply to non-financial institutions that are subject to the clearing obligation pursuant to Article 7(2), and only from the date on which the clearing obligation starts.

2011/0275(COD) European Regional Development Fund (ERDF): support to the Investment for growth and jobs goal

ITRE
3 amendments...
Amendment 42 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 a (new) (5a) A decisive factor for a region's development is its capacity for innovation, which in turn depends heavily on research and development. The lack of outstanding research facilities that might attract both top international scientists and their own next generation of researchers poses a serious barrier to development in many regions. Almost all of Europe's regions have a successful diaspora of scientists working at the best research institutions in the world, including outside Europe. It will benefit the whole European Innovation Union if these talented people return. The ERDF should therefore support all the efforts made by the regions to set up such research institutions in an innovation- friendly environment. All possible synergies with 'Horizon 2020' should be exploited, in particular where regions apply for support under the 'Horizon 2020' programme by, for example, taking part in a competition for the creation of outstanding research institutions alongside an existing top research body. It is only through such measures that new institutions can become centres of gravity that will attract innovative enterprises and develop into a nucleus for research and innovation clusters.
Amendment 58 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 3 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1 – point d – point iii (iii) support to public research and innovation bodies and investment in technology and applied research in enterprises; this includes the creation of top research institutions, for example as part of a corresponding competition under the Horizon 2020 programme, and support for all appropriate measures that will make these institutions internationally attractive, including internationally competitive salaries;

Amendment 116 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 a (new) (4a) In 2017 at the latest, the Commission should perform an interim evaluation of the participation rules with a view to the desired simplification of procedures and increased participation in the programmes. This should include an analysis of access to funding for participants from all regions and for SMEs and balanced participation by women and men, and the scope for further simplifications should be analysed. At the proposal of the Commission, the participation rules may if appropriate be adjusted by the legislature once during the period of application of Horizon 2020.
Amendment 140 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 a (new) (9a) In general, the period between the deadline for the submission of project proposals and the conclusion of the grant agreement (time to grant) should not exceed six months.
