Amendments	Dossier
4	2007/0229(COD) Migration policy: single application procedure for a single permit to reside and work, common set of rights for third-country workers 2010/03/24 LIBE 4 amendments... Amendment 65 # Philip CLAEYS Proposal for a directive Recital 2 (2) The European Council, at its special meeting in Tampere on 15 and 16 October 1999, acknowledged the need for harmonisation of national legislation governing the conditions for admission and residence of third-country nationals. In this context, it stated in particular that the European Union should ensure fair treatment of third-country nationals residing lawfully on the territory of the Member States and that a more vigorous integration policy should aim to ~~grant them rights and~~impose on them obligations comparable to those of citizens of the European Union. The European Council accordingly asked the Council to rapidly adopt the legal instruments on the basis of Commission proposals. The need for achieving the objectives defined at Tampere was reaffirmed by the Hague Programme of 4 and 5 November 2004. Amendment 66 # Philip CLAEYS Proposal for a directive Recital 3 (3) In an increasingly global labour market, the EU should enhance its appeal to attract third-country workers. This should be facilitated by administrative simplification and by facilitating access to relevant information. Provisions for a single application procedure leading to one combined title encompassing both residence and work permit within one administrative act should contribute to simplifying and harmonizing the diverging rules currently applicable in Member States. Such procedural simplification has already been introduced by the majority of Member States and has made for a more efficient procedure both for the migrants and for their employers, and allowed easier controls of the lawfulness of their residence and employment.deleted Amendment 75 # Philip CLAEYS Proposal for a directive Recital 18 (18) This Directive respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles recognized by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and has to be implemented accordingly.deleted Amendment 92 # Philip CLAEYS Proposal for a directive Article 3 – paragraph 2 – point h ~~(h) whose expulsion has been suspended for reasons of fact or law.~~deleted source: PE-439.963
4	2009/2241(INI) Institutional aspects of accession by the European Union to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms 2010/03/25 AFCO 4 amendments... Amendment 56 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 13. Notes that accession by the Union to the ECHR constitutes an essential step which should subsequently be complemented by accession by the Union to the European Social Charter, signed in Turin on 18 October 1961 and revised in Strasbourg on 3 May 1996, which would be consistent with the progress already enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights and in the social legislation of the Union;Deleted Amendment 59 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 a (new) 13 a. is of the view that the right to freedom of expression must not be undermined by complaints and petitions aiming to criminalise legitimate political demands; Amendment 60 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 b (new) 13 b. expresses its concern that the European Union, as a legal person, firstly is being subjected to a review of the conformity of its legal acts in respect of human rights by a higher court to which a Turkish magistrate also belongs, while Turkey itself largely disregards human rights; Amendment 61 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 c (new) 13 c. expresses its disquiet that magistrates, who are not accountable to the electorate, are increasingly putting themselves in the place of the legislative and executive powers of the Member States by overruling democratically made decisions aimed at a restrictive immigration policy; source: PE-440.010
3	2010/0074(COD) Citizens' initiative 2010/10/13 LIBE 3 amendments... Amendment 42 # Philip CLAEYS Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 (8) In order to ensure coherence and transparency in relation to proposed citizens' initiatives, it should be mandatory to register such initiatives on a website made available by the Commission prior to collecting the necessary statements of support from citizens; proposals that are abusive ~~or devoid of seriousness should not be registered and the Commission should reject the registration of proposals which would be manifestly against the values of the Union~~should not be registered. The Commission should deal with registration in accordance with the general principles of good administration. Amendment 83 # Philip CLAEYS Proposal for a regulation Article 4 – paragraph 4 ~~4. The Commission shall reject the registration of proposed citizens' initiatives which are manifestly against the values of the Union.~~deleted Amendment 140 # Philip CLAEYS Proposal for a regulation Annex III – box 3 – point 6 6.

8	2010/2276(INI) EU strategy on Roma inclusion 2011/01/17 LIBE 8 amendments... Amendment 45 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Recital B a (new) Ba. whereas, in addition to the rights of the Roma in Europe, the rights of non- Roma people in Europe must also be fully respected by everybody, including the right to own property in the form of land and the right to safety, Amendment 59 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Recital D D. whereas non-discrimination - although indispensable - is not by itself enough to overcome the historic disadvantages of the Roma, and whereas it is therefore necessary to complement equality legislation and policies by addressing the specific needs of the Roma regarding the fulfilment of and access to their human rights to employment, housing, healthcare and education by means of an EU-level strategy; whereas it is also important to stress the responsibility of the Roma themselves to integrate, particularly by respecting the right of all children (including girls) to education, Amendment 210 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 – point b – indent 21 a (new) - stressing the right of all children (boys and girls) to education, Amendment 211 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 – point b – indent 21 b (new) - stressing the right of all young people (boys and girls) to choose a partner freely, Amendment 212 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 – point b – indent 21 c (new) - stressing the advantages of legal activities over illegal activities ‘in the grey area’, Amendment 213 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 – point b – indent 21 d (new) - stressing the importance of respecting the human rights – including the right to own property and the right to safety – of all residents of Europe, including those who are not Roma, Amendment 214 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 – point b – indent 21 e (new) - cooperation between Roma communities and the police of the Member States to combat organised crime and peripatetic groups of criminals, Amendment 215 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 – point b – indent 21 f (new) - advising against settling in other Member States without any prospects of housing, employment, education and integration; source: PE-456.648
5	2011/0436(COD) 2012/09/26 LIBE 5 amendments... Amendment 26 # Philip CLAEYS Recital 3 (3) While in many people’s opinion there is objectively a clear added value of being an Union citizen with established rights, the Union does not always highlight the link between the solution of a broad range of economic and social problems and the Union's policies in an effective way. Hence, the in many people’s opinion impressive achievements in terms of peace and stability in Europe, long-term sustainable growth, stable prices, an efficient protection of consumers and the environment and the promotion of fundamental rights, have not always led to a strong feeling of belonging of citizens to the Union. Many other people, on the other hand, consider that there are also major disadvantages attached to the Union, such as the instability caused by the euro crisis, the elimination of internal borders by Schengen and the resultant rising crime rate and the dislocation of such industries as transport and construction in Western Europe. The programme should ensure that these objections are taken into account in a balanced manner, so as to avoid giving the impression that it is purely a propaganda programme. Amendment 34 # Philip CLAEYS Recital 10 a (new) (10a) Special attention should be devoted to the balanced representation of pro-EU views and euro-critical and eurosceptic views in all events, studies and debates. Amendment 35 # Philip CLAEYS Recital 11 ~~(11) The acceding countries, candidate countries and potential candidates benefiting from a pre-accession strategy on~~ deleted (It is not apparent why a programme concerned with citizenship of the Unione s~~ide, and the EFTA countries party to the EEA Agreement on the other side are recognised as potential participants in EU programmes, in accordance with the agreements concluded with them.~~hould extend to countries, and therefore people, who are not citizens of the Union and who – for example in the case of Turkey – will, one hopes, never be.) Amendment 47 # Philip CLAEYS Article 3 – paragraph 2 – indent 10 – Studies ~~on issues~~not previously made on issues not previously investigated related to citizenship and civic participation Amendment 48 # Philip CLAEYS Article 5 – paragraph 1 – point b ~~(b) acceding countries, candidate countries and potential candidates, in accordance with the general principles an~~deleted (It is not apparent why a programme concerned with citizenship of the Union should gen~~eral terms and conditions for the participation of those countries in Union programmes established in the respective Framework Agreements, Association Council Decisions or similar Agreements;~~tail expenditure in countries and for people who are not citizens of the Union and which – for example in the case of Turkey – will, one hopes, never be.) source: PE-496.548
7	2011/2069(INI) Situation of fundamental rights in the European Union (2010-2011) 2012/08/20 LIBE 7 amendments... Amendment 101 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 6. ~~Deplores the unacceptabl~~Notes the delays and blockages in the EU’s accession to the ECHR, which are mainly due to ~~specific Member States, and urges the Commissio~~the legal concerns of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg and of specific Member States, and urges the Commission to provide appropriate guarantees to address these concerns and only then to conclude the procedure; Amendment 113 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 8 8. Regrets the weak reaction of the Commission to specific violations of fundamental rights in Member States and calls on the Commission to ensure that infringement proceedings secure the effective protection of human rights, rather than aiming for negotiated settlements with Member States; stresses at the same time that not every polarised political conflict within a Member State can be raised to European level on the grounds of an alleged ‘human rights violation’; calls on the Commission to preserve the greatest possible neutrality and objectivity not only in requesting information and in speed of transmission but also as regards the content of the information transmitted; Amendment 139 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 – indent 2 – that police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters, which has become standard EU policy, as well as social and economic rights, which are essential elements of the Charter, are still excluded from the mandate of the FRA; asks the Council to include the above matters in the next multi-annual framework of the FRA;deleted Amendment 152 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 14 a (new) 14a. Freedom of expression Is concerned about the increasing pressure on freedom of expression exerted by extremist tendencies within Islam, particularly Salafism; stresses that freedom of expression must apply throughout the EU, including for those who wish to express a critical opinion of Islam; condemns, therefore, the situation whereby politicians and artists are the victims of murder plots and attacks and have to be constantly guarded; condemns the disturbance of readings, the destruction of works of art, and the threats to writers and artists; stresses that criticism of any religion and its doctrines, thus including those of Islam, does not show a lack of respect but forms an essential part of the common European legal order which holds that religion, religious texts, religious doctrines, institutions and ministers are also legitimate subjects for debate; Amendment 158 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 14 b (new) 14b. Is concerned about the increasing pressure placed on the freedom of expression in the context of the debate on immigration, asylum and illegal residence; stresses that the important difference must be respected between unacceptable incitement to hatred or violence on the one hand and acceptable political criticism of real problems in society that relate to immigration, asylum and illegal residence on the other; recalls the consistent case law of the European Court of Human Rights whereby freedom of expression also applies to disturbing, shocking or offensive opinions; Amendment 166 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 15 15. Stresses that the principles of human dignity and equality before the law are foundations of democratic society; deems incomprehensible the current blockage of Council negotiations on the Commission’s proposal for a horizontal directive extending comprehensive protection against discrimination on all grounds, including religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation, and urges efforts to ensure adoption as soon as possible; Amendment 179 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 16 16. Calls on Member States to establish complaints procedures that ensure that a victim of multiple discrimination can lodge a single complaint addressing more than one ground of discrimination; ~~considers appropriate to support the activities of human rights defenders and the development of collective actions by marginalised people and communities;~~ source: PE-492.760
2	2011/2246(INI) EU Charter: standard settings for media freedom across the EU 2012/11/28 LIBE 2 amendments... Amendment 72 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 2. Calls for the devising of procedures and mechanisms for the selection and appointment of media heads, management boards, media councils and regulatory bodies that are transparent, based on merit and indisputable experience and that ensure professionalism, integrity, independence, maximum consensus across the political and social spectrum and continuity, instead of ~~political or partisan criteria in the framework of a spoil system linked to the results of elections or~~being subject to the will of those in power; Amendment 133 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 7 a (new) 7a. Stresses that the official protection which must be given to the media and journalists is not a licence to infringe democratically adopted legislation or deny fundamental rights such as the right to privacy, the right to respect for private life, the right to respect for reputation and honour or the ban on the unauthorised interception of telephone calls or other communications or on stalking people in the street for photographs; notes that the need for journalists and the media to protect confidential sources and whistleblowers must be balanced against the right of the national authorities and judiciaries, independently of political or other influences, to curb wrongdoing by the media and journalists through procedures established under the rule of law; source: PE-500.572
7	2012/2032(INI) Enhanced intra-EU solidarity in the field of asylum 2012/07/06 LIBE 7 amendments... Amendment 11 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 2. Recalls that the right to ~~international protection is a fundamental right enshrined in~~asylum is a fundamental right subject to specific procedures laid down in the international Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees concluded in Geneva, that this right to asylum can be complemented but under no circumstances expanded by international and Union law ~~which is complemented~~or by a series of additional rights and principles, such as the principle of non-refoulement, the right to dignity, the prohibition of torture, inhuman or degrading treatment, the right to an effective remedy and the right to private and family life; that this right does not affect the right of each Member State to decide on a soveraign basis what immigration policy it is going to pursue on its territory; Amendment 35 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 9 9. Regrets the rise of xenophobia and racism and of negative and misinformed assumptions about asylum seekers and refugees accompanying ~~socio-economic insecurity in the EU; recommends that Member States~~the failure of the immigration and asylum policy in the EU and the socio-economic insecurity in the EU; recommends that Member States proceed to the implementation of a proper immigration and asylum policy, including the actual removal of illegal immigrants from their territory, and undertake awareness- raising campaigns on the actual situation of asylum seekers and beneficiaries of international protection; Amendment 47 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 13. Takes note of the recommendation of the Commission and Council regarding inter-agency cooperation between EASO and Frontex, and stresses that the full and swift implementation of Frontex’s Fundamental Rights Strategy is a sine qua non for any such cooperation in the context of international protection; emphasises that any cooperation must be viewed any cooperation must be viewed in the context of the implementation of an effective asylum and immigration policy, including the ~~context of increasing protection standards for asylum seekers~~actual removal of illegal immigrants from the EU Member States’ territory; Amendment 85 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 21 21. Considers that the Dublin Regulation, which governs the allocation of responsibility for asylum applications, while placing ~~a disproportion~~, quite rightly, the greatest burden on Member States constituting entry points into the EU~~, does not provide the means for~~; urges all Member States and them EU to respond adequately to the administrative and financial demands involved; notes that the Dublin system as it has been applied so far has led to the unequal treatment of asylum seekers across the EU while also having an adverse impact on family reunification and integration; stresses, moreover, its shortcomings in terms of efficiency and costeffectivenesshelp those Member States in the effective surveillance of the Union’s external borders; regrets that these countries are failing to take measures to ensure adequate control of the Union’s external borders; expresses therefore its full support for initiatives aimed at implementing such control, sinc~~e more than half of agreed transfers never take place and multiple applications are still the rule~~luding the construction of a closed wall or fence on the Greek-Turkish border; Amendment 92 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 22 22. ~~Stresses that the relev~~Condemns the Utopiant case-law ~~suspending~~which makes transfers under the Dublin Regulation, while providing an answer to individual cases, fails to overcome the structural shortcomings of the Dublin system as a whole; welcomes, therefore, the efforts to include additional criteria in Dublin II in order to mitigate the system’s unwanted adverse effects impossible, thus making impossible the asylum and immigration policy with a ‘Gouvernement des juges’ desired by the EU Member States; urges the European Court in Strasbourg in particular to respect the democratic will of the people expressed through elections and in the policy of national Member States; demands that asylum seekers be effectively returned to their first country of arrival in the EU; Amendment 146 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 37 37. Underlines that asylum and migration management can increase mutual trust and solidarity measures only if coupled with ~~a protection-sensitive approach under which border measures are carried out without prejudice to the rights of refugees and persons requesting international protection~~firm respect for the Geneva Convention on Refugees and the criteria laid down therein, as well as the effective control of the external borders and the actual return of rejected asylum seekers and other illegal immigrants; Amendment 152 # Philip CLAEYS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 38 38. Notes that restrictive visa regimes and enhanced border controls ~~can have adverse effects on access to international protection in preventing persons in need from reaching the EU and reiterates the need to apply measures in a protection- sensitive manner~~are the only way to prevent EU citizens from becoming less supportive towards real asylum seekers; that the surveillance of the external borders should be expanded and intensified considerably, that candidate asylum seekers should be accommodated in closed centres in the first country of arrival pending a quick decision on their application; that rejected asylum seekers should be effectively sent back straight away; that if the country of origin refuses to accept such persons back the EU should discontinue any form of support to that country; source: PE-491.135
