Amendment 56 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 (9) Textile products subject only to the requirements of inclusive labelling, and those sold by the metre or in cut lengths, should be offered for sale in such a way that the consumer can fully acquaint himself with the country of origin of these products within the meaning of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing a Community customs code of origin (‘Community Customs Code’)1 and the information affixed to the overall packaging or the roll.
Amendment 60 #

Amendment 67 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 19 c (new) (19c) The purpose of origin-marking arrangements would be to provide consumers with information regarding the country of origin of the products they are purchasing, enabling them to assess such products in the light of the social, environmental and safety standards generally associated with the country in question.

19 amendments...
Amendment 301 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 20 (20) In order to allow manufacturers of components or separate technical units to apply for EU type-approval for components or separate technical units or authorisation, it is also important for these manufacturers to have access to certain information that is available only from the vehicle manufacturer, such as the technical information, including non-proprietary drawings, required for the development of parts for the aftermarket.
Amendment 305 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 21 (21) Unrestricted access to vehicle repair information, via a standardised format which can be used to retrieve the technical information, and effective competition on the market for vehicle repair and maintenance information services are necessary to improve the functioning of the internal market, particularly as regards the free movement of goods, freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services. A great proportion of such information is related to on-board diagnostic (OBD) systems and their interaction with other vehicle systems. It is appropriate to lay down technical specifications that the websites of the manufacturers should follow, along with targeted measures to ensure reasonable access for small and medium-sized enterprises in accordance with the principle of proportionality.

Amendment 24 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 1 (1) It is important t
Amendment 26 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 (3) Energy markets are increasingly interlinked across the Union. Market abuse in one Member State affects not only wholesale prices for electricity and gas across national borders but also retail prices to consumers and micro- enterprises. Therefore the concern to ensure the integrity of markets cannot be a matter only for individual Member States.
Amendment 27 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 (3) Energy markets are increasingly interlinked across the Union. Market abuse in one Member State affects both wholesale prices for electricity and gas across national borders and retail prices for consumers. Therefore the concern to ensure the integrity of markets cannot be a matter only for individual Member States. Therefore a strong cross-border market monitoring is essential for the completion of a fully functioning, interconnected and integrated internal energy market.
Amendment 30 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 11 (11) Specification of the definitions of inside information and market manipulation is necessary to account for the specificities of wholesale energy markets, which are dynamic and subject to change. The Commission should be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty in respect to such detailed rules. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultation during its preparatory work, including at expert level. The Commission, when preparing and drawing up delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and the Council.
Amendment 31 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 13 (13) Efficient market monitoring is vital to detecting and deterring market abuse on wholesale energy markets. The Agency is best placed to carry out such monitoring as it has both a Union wide view of electricity and gas markets, and the necessary expertise in the operation of electricity and gas markets and systems in the Union. National regulatory authorities having an important understanding of developments on energy markets in their Member State should have an important role in ensuring efficient market monitoring. Therefore the concern to ensure proper monitoring and transparency of the energy market depends upon the close cooperation and enhanced coordination between various European Agencies and national authorities.
Amendment 33 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 15 (15) In order to ensure the necessary flexibility in collecting information on transactions in wholesale energy products, the Commission should be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty setting out the timing, form and content of the information which market participant are required to provide. Reporting obligations should not create unnecessary costs for market participants. Persons reporting transactions to a competent authority in accordance with the provisions of Directive 2004/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 on markets in financial instruments16 , and to trade repositories and competent authorities in accordance with the provisions of Regulation ../.. of the European Parliament and the Council on OTC derivatives, central counterparties and trade repositories should therefore not be subject to additional reporting obligations under this Regulation. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultation during its preparatory work, including at expert level. The Commission, when preparing and drawing up delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and the Council.
Amendment 38 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 23 (23) It is important that the penalties for breaches of this Regulation are proportionate and dissuasive, and reflect the gravity of the infringements and the potential gains from trading on the basis of inside information and market manipulation. Recognising the interactions between trading in electricity and gas derivative products and trading in actual electricity and gas, the penalties for breaches of this Regulation should be in line with the penalties adopted by the Member States in implementing Directive 2003/6/EC. In this connection, it is essential for the penalties to be substantially harmonised in all Member States so as to avoid regulatory arbitrage, that is to say conclusion of contracts in the country where there is the lowest risk of incurring penalties.
Amendment 58 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 13 The Member States shall lay down the rules on penalties applicable to infringements of the provisions of this Regulation and shall take all measures necessary to ensure that they are implemented. The penalties provided for must be effective, proportionate
Amendment 61 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 16 – paragraph 3 3. The decision of revocation shall put an end to the delegation of the powers specified in that decision. It shall take effect

Amendment 256 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 3 a (new) (3a) This directive does not affect the freedom of public authorities to define, at national level the scope of services of general economic interest and characteristics of the service to be provided, including any conditions regarding the quality of the service, in order to pursue its public policy objectives. This Directive does not deal with the funding of services of general economic interest or with systems of aids granted by Member States, in particular in the social field, in accordance with Community rules on competition.
Amendment 257 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 3 b (new) (3b) This Directive does not affect terms and conditions of employment, including maximum work periods and minimum rest periods, minimum paid annual holidays, minimum rates of pay as well as health, safety and hygiene at work, which Member States apply in compliance with Union law nor does it affect relations between social partners, including the right to negotiate and conclude collective agreements, the right to strike and to take industrial action in accordance with national law and practices which respect Union law
Amendment 258 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 3 c (new) (3c) Member States may provide that contracting authorities and contracting entities shall base the award of concessions inter alia on the criterion of the most economically advantageous tender. This criterion may refer, in addition to price or costs, to quality, including technical merit, aesthetic and functional characteristics, accessibility, design for all users, environmental, social characteristics and innovative character. It may also refer to after-sales service and technical assistance, delivery date, delivery period or period of completion, the organisation, qualification and experience of the staff assigned to performing the concession in question as well as to the specific process of production or provision of the requested works, supplies or services to the extent that it does not discriminates between economic operators
Amendment 271 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 6 (6) Concessions are contracts for pecuniary interest concluded between one or more economic operators and one or more contracting authorities or entities and having as their object the acquisition of works or services where the consideration consists, normally, in the right to exploit the works or services that are the subject of the contract. The execution of these works or services are subject to specific binding obligations defined by the contracting authority or entity which are legally enforceable. By contrast, certain State acts such as authorisations or licences issued for limited periods, whereby the State or a public authority establishes the conditions for the exercise of an economic activity, should not qualify as concessions. The same applies to certain agreements having as their object the right of an economic operator to exploit certain public domains or resources, such as land lease contracts whereby the State or contracting authority or entity establishes only general conditions for their use without acquiring specific works or services.
Amendment 386 #
Proposal for a directive Article 1 – paragraph 2 a (new) 2a. This Directive does not affect the terms and conditions of employment, including environmental, health and safety, social and labour law, rules and standards, defined by Union and national legislation and collective agreements, which apply where the provision of works, services and supplies takes place.
Amendment 398 #
Proposal for a directive Article 1 a (new) Article 1 a Principle of free administration by public authorities 1. This Directive recognises the principle of free administration by contracting authorities and contracting entities in conformity with the EU Treaties. The latter will be free to decide how best to provide, organise and manage the execution of the work and the provision of the services for which they are responsible, in accordance with the legislative arrangements and the methods which they judge to be the most effective manner to ensure a high level of quality, safety and affordability, equal treatment and the promotion of universal access and of user rights in public services. 2. This Directive does not affect the freedom of Member States to define, in conformity with the Union law, what they consider to be services of general economic interest, how those services should be organised and financed, in compliance with the State aid rules, and what specific obligations they should be subject to.
Amendment 401 #
Proposal for a directive Article 1 b (new) Article 1 b Principles of transparency by public authorities The details of concession contracts, including regarding the transfer of operating risk and eventual payments from the grantor to the economic operator, shall be made public and open to scrutiny. Any subsequent modifications to the contract shall also be made public. Member States shall ensure that periodic evaluation of the performance of concessions shall be made public.
Amendment 407 #
Proposal for a directive Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point 2 a (new) (2a) (a) a 'works concession' means a contract for pecuniary interest concluded in writing by means of which one or more contracting authorities or contracting entities entrusts the execution of works to one or more economic operators, where the consideration for this delegation consists either solely in the right to exploit the works that are the subject of the contract or in that right together with payment. (b) a 'services concession' means a contract for pecuniary interest concluded in writing by means of which one or more contracting authorities or contracting entities entrusts the operation of a service for which they are responsible to one or more economic operators, where the consideration for this delegation consists either solely in the right to exploit the service which is the subject of the contract or in that right together with payment. The right to exploit the works or services shall imply the transfer to the concessionaire of the substantial economic risk in exploiting these works or services, defined as the risk of exposure to the vagaries of the market and encompassing both demand and availability risk. The concessionaire shall be deemed to assume the substantial operating risk where, under normal conditions of exploitation and according to the provisions of the contract, it is not guaranteed to recoup the investments made or and the costs incurred in operating the works or the services which are the subject-matter of the concession.

During the concession award procedure, the grantor shall treat economic operators equally and shall act in a transparent and proportionate way. In particular, it shall not provide information in a discriminatory manner which may give some candidates or tenderers an advantage over others. The design of the concession award procedure shall not be made with the objective of excluding it from the scope of this Directive or of artificially narrowing competition. 3. The grantor and the economic operator shall respect obligations relating to social and employment protection and working conditions applying in the place where the concession is performed, as set out by collective agreements, national and European union legislation, and international labour law provisions. The grantor has the full freedom to specify in tender documents social and environmental criteria that go beyond these obligations.

Technical and/or functional requirements shall comply with the principle of equal access of economic operators to the concession award procedure and shall not have the effect of creating unjustified obstacles to the opening up of concessions to competition. Technical and/or functional requirements shall comply with the environmental characteristics, health and safety, social and labour law, rules and standards, defined by Union and national legislation and collective agreements, which apply where the provision of works, services and supplies takes place.
