2009/0108(COD) Energy policy: measures to safeguard security of gas supply (repeal. Directive 2004/67/EC)
2009/09/12
ENVI
17 amendments...
Amendment 26 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 11 (11) Different sources of Community funding are available to support Member States to finance the necessary investment in indigenous production
Amendment 27 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 15 (15) The precise definition of the roles and responsibilities of all natural gas undertakings
Amendment 29 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 22 (22) In order to ensure the highest level of preparedness in case of supply disruption, Emergency Plans should be established by all natural gas undertakings together with the Competent Authorities. Such plans should be mutually consistent at national, regional and Community level. Their content should follow best practices among existing plans and should define clear roles and responsibilities for all concerned natural gas undertakings and Competent Authorities. Joint emergency plans at regional level, should be established where possible and necessary.
Amendment 32 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 23 (23) To strengthen the solidarity between Member States in the case of a Community Emergency and in particular to support Member States which are exposed to less favourable geographical or geological conditions, for instance Member States which are "energy islands", Member States should devise specific measures to exercise solidarity, including measures such as commercial agreements between natural gas undertakings, compensation mechanisms, increased gas exports or increased releases from storages. Solidarity measures may be particularly appropriate between Member States for which the Commission recommends the establishment of joint preventive actions plans or emergency plans at regional level.
Amendment 33 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 32 (32) Since the objectives of the action to ensure the security of gas supply in the Community cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States only and can therefore, by reason of the scale or effects of the action, better be achieved at regional or Community level, the Community may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.
Amendment 35 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 2 – paragraph 2 – point 1 (1) "protected customers" means all household customers already connected to a gas distribution network, and, if the Member State concerned so decides, can also include small and medium-sized enterprises, schools
Amendment 38 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 4 – paragraph 1 - introductory part 1. By [31 March 2011; 12 months from entry into force] at the latest, the Competent Authority, after consultation of the natural gas undertakings, of the relevant organisations representing the interests of household
Amendment 40 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 4 – paragraph 2 2. Before adopting those Plans the Competent Authorities shall exchange information and consult each other and the Commission to ensure that their Plans and measures are mutually consistent at the appropriate regional level. These consultations shall cover, as a minimum, interconnections, cross-border supplies, storage across borders and the physical capacity to transport gas in both directions, as well as contractual restrictions to provision of cross-border supplies.
Amendment 42 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 4 – paragraph 3 3. During the process mentioned in paragraph 2 the Commission may recommend at which regional level the exchange of information and consultations shall take place. The Commission, if necessary after consultation of the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas ("ENTSO-G") and the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators ("ACER"), may also recommend or request the establishment of a joint Plan at regional level.
Amendment 46 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 6 – paragraph 5 5. The transmission system operators shall enable permanent physical capacity to transport gas in both directions on all interconnections within two years from the entry into force of this Regulation, except in cases where at the request of a Competent Authority, the Commission decides that the addition of a bi-directional flow capacity would not enhance the security of supply of any Member State. Such decision may be reviewed if circumstances change. The level of the bi- directional flow capacity shall be reached in a cost efficient way and at least take into account the capacity required to meet the supply standard set in Article 7. Within that two year period, the gas transmission system operator shall adapt the functioning of the transmission system as a whole so as to enable bi-directional gas flows. The gas transmission operator shall upgrade the infrastructure to ensure that methane leaks from pipelines and from compressor stations are minimised.
Amendment 47 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 6 – paragraph 7 7. National Regulatory Authorities shall take into account the costs of fulfilling the N-1 standard and the costs of enabling the permanent physical capacity to transport gas in both directions in their approval of tariffs in line with Article 41(8) of Directive […/…EC]. In the case of costs incurred in more than one Member State, the national regulatory authorities of all Member States concerned shall jointly decide on cost allocation. Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No …/… shall apply. The possibility to co-finance the improvement of the interconnectivity from Community funds, especially for the regions which are considered to be "energy islands", should be explored.

Proposal for a regulation Article 10 - paragraph 1 1. The Commission may declare a Community Early Warning or a Community Alert at the request of a Competent Authority. The Commission shall declare a Community Emergency at the request of one Competent Authority or when the Community loses more than 10% of its daily gas import from third countries as calculated by ENTSO-G. It shall declare a Community Emergency where more than one Competent Authority has declared Emergency following the verification in accordance with Article 9(6). It may declare a Community Emergency for specifically affected geographical regions comprising more than one Member State.
Amendment 56 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 10 - paragraph 2 2. The Commission may convene the Gas Coordination Group as soon as it declares a Community Early Warning or a Community Alert. The Commission shall convene the Gas Coordination Group as soon as it declares Community Emergency.
Amendment 57 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 10 - paragraph 2 b (new) 2b. In a Community Alert the Commission may request the Competent Authorities to coordinate their actions in order to overcome a supply disruption or exceptionally high demand.

Amendment 23 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 (2) Gas consumption in Europe has increased rapidly during the last ten years. With decreasing domestic production, gas imports have increased even more rapidly, thus creating a higher import dependence and the need to address security of supply aspects. Some Member States, owing to the domination of natural gas in the energy mix, find themselves in an 'energy island' when it comes to high dependency on gas imports from third countries and an absence of infrastructure connections with the rest of the EU.

2009/0172(NLE) Nuclear safety: financial assistance to decommissioning of Units 1 to 4 of the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant in Bulgaria, 'Kozloduy Programme'
2010/01/03
ENVI
6 amendments...
Amendment 19 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 (5) It is equally important to use the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant's own resources, as this contributes to the availability of the necessary expertise, enhances know-how and skills, and at the same time mitigates the social and economic impact of the early closure by continuously employing the staff from the closed nuclear power plant. The continued financial support is therefore important to maintain the required safety standard.
Amendment 22 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 (6) The Union recognises also the need for financial support to progress further with mitigating measures in the energy sector given the extent of the capacity loss by the closure of the nuclear units and its impact on the security of supply in the region, with special emphasis on the need to increase energy efficiency and develop the renewable energy sector.
Amendment 23 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 a (new) (6a) Mitigation measures to reduce the socio-economic impact of the closure of Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant Units 1 to 4, such as retraining programs for affected personnel to use their skills in other sectors, for example, industrial research or renewable energy, could require EU financial assistance.
Amendment 31 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 11 (11) In order to ensure the highest possible efficiency and to minimise possible environmental consequences, the decommissioning of the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant should be carried out with recourse to the best available technical expertise, and with due regard to the nature and technological specifications of the units to be shut down.
Amendment 37 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 2 – paragraph 1 The Community contribution to the Kozloduy programme shall be granted for the purpose of providing financial support for measures connected with the decommissioning of the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant, measures for environmental upgrading in line with the acquis and for modernising conventional production capacity to replace the production capacity of the four reactors at the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant and other measures which stem from the decision to close and decommission this plant and which contribute to the necessary restructuring, upgrading of the environment and modernisation of the energy production, transmission and distribution sectors in Bulgaria as well as to enhancing security of supply and energy efficiency in Bulgaria. Financial support can also be provided in order to mitigate the socio-economic transition in the affected communities, for example through developing new sustainable jobs and industries.
Amendment 39 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 6 – paragraph 1 1. The Commission shall monitor and may have an audit of the use made of the assistance carried out either directly by its own staff or by any other qualified outside body of its choice. Such audits may be carried out throughout the duration of the agreement between the Community and the EBRD on making Community funds available to the Kozloduy International Decommissioning Support Fund and for a period of five years from the date of payment of the balance. Where appropriate, the audit findings may lead to recovery decisions by the Commission

Proposal for a regulation Recital 21 (21) Due to the successive integration of various sectors into the single payment scheme and the ensuing period of adjustment granted to farmers, it has become increasingly difficult to justify the presence of significant individual differences in the level of support per hectare resulting from use of historical references.

2011/0429(COD) Water policy: priority substances
2012/11/13
ENVI
9 amendments...
Amendment 38 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 5 (5) The review of the priority substances list has been supported by an extensive consultation with experts from the Commission services, Member States, stakeholders and the Scientific Committee on Health and Environmental Risks (SCHER) and a thorough examination of the toxicity of the substances and their occurrence across the EU.
Amendment 41 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 6 (6) Numerous Union acts have been adopted since the adoption of Directive 2000/60/EC, which constitute emission control measures in accordance with Article 16 of that Directive for individual priority substances. Moreover, many environmental protection measures fall under the scope of other existing Union legislation. Therefore, priority should be given to implementing and revising existing instruments rather than establishing new controls. The report on the outcome of the regular review of Annex X to Directive 2000/60/EC provided for in Article 16(4) of that Directive should review the measures adopted at the Union level and in Member States and assess whether those measures achieve the quality standards for the priority substances or the cessation objective for the priority hazardous substances. The Commission should accompany this report, if appropriate, with relevant proposals on concrete measures for the achievement of the quality standards and the cessation objective along with intermediate timetables. The inclusion of a substance in Annex X to Directive 2000/60/EC is without prejudice to the application of the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC.
Amendment 51 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 8 a (new) (8a) The pollution of waters and soils with pharmaceutical residues is an emerging environmental problem. Current evaluation and control of the risk to or via the aquatic environment of medicinal products does not provide adequate attention to Union environmental objectives. An ongoing Commission study on the risks of environmental effects of medicinal products aims therefore at providing an analysis of the relevance of the current legislative framework to, and its effectiveness at, protecting the environment and human health via the aquatic environment, and finally an identification of possible measures to better address the problem.
Amendment 52 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 8 b (new) (8b) This proposal aims at ensuring a better quality of water for public health and biodiversity reasons. The pharmaceutical substances which have been prioritised are identified due to a significant risk that they pose to or via the aquatic environment at Union level and not due to a risk on public health via human consumption.
Amendment 53 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 8 c (new) (8c) Control measures which may be taken by the Member States shall take into account the therapeutic importance of the pharmaceutical substances and be in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1235/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 December 2010 amending, as regards pharmacovigilance of medicinal products for human use, Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 laying down Community procedures for the authorisation and supervision of medicinal products for human and veterinary use and establishing a European Medicines Agency, and Regulation (EC) No 1394/2007 on advanced therapy medicinal products1 and Directive 2010/84/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 December 2010 amending, as regards pharmacovigilance, Directive 2001/83/EC on the Community code relating to medicinal products for human use2. These measures may include take- back and labelling schemes for unused pharmaceuticals. ______________ 1 OJ L 348, 31.12.2010, p. 1 2 OJ L 348, 31.12.2010, p. 74

It shall accompany the report, if appropriate, with relevant proposals, in particular proposals to identify new priority substances or priority hazardous substances or to identify certain priority substances as priority hazardous substances and to set corresponding EQS for surface water, sediment or biota, as appropriate. This report shall review the measures adopted at the Union level and in Member States and assess whether those measures achieve the quality standards for the priority substances or the cessation objective for the priority hazardous substances. The Commission shall accompany the report, if appropriate, with relevant proposals on concrete measures for the achievement of the quality standards and the cessation objective along with intermediate timetables.
