Support should be provided through a variety of means, without excessive formalities and through a sufficient geographical distribution to allow all victims the opportunity to access such services. Children and certain groups of victims such as victims of sexual violence, gender, race hate, torture, cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, criminal violation of human rights at hands of state agents or other bias crimes or victims of
Amendment 151 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 13 a (new) (13a) In order to respond to the specific needs of women victims of gender-based violence, specific support structures are essential. Those structures should be built upon the experience and expertise of the women’s shelter movement, and should reinforce their capacity to develop further their victim support activities.
Amendment 152 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 14 (14) Although the provision of support should not be dependent on a victim making a complaint of an offence to a competent authority such as the police, such authorities are often best placed to inform victims of the possibility of support. Member States are therefore encouraged to establish appropriate conditions to enable the referral of victims to victim support services, including by ensuring that data protection requirements can be adhered to. In cases of specific types of crimes, such as gender-based violence, referral should be made directly to specialised victim support services in order to avoid stress caused by repeat referral.
Amendment 158 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 16 (16) Restorative justice services, including for example victim-offender mediation, family group conferencing and sentencing circles, can be of great benefit to the victim
Amendment 167 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 17 a (new) (17a) Gender-based violence refers to violence that is directed against a person because of his or her gender. It is a form of violence that affects women disproportionately and it may be interrelated but is not limited to cases of violence in close relationships, sexual violence (including sexual assault and sexual harassment), sexual trafficking and slavery, intimate relationship violence and other harmful practices such as forced marriages and female genital mutilation. Homophobic and transphobic attacks have also been defined as a form of gender-based violence. Research shows that one-fifth to one-quarter of all women have experienced physical violence at least once during their adult lives and more than one-tenth have suffered sexual violence involving the use of force. It is therefore crucial to criminalise all forms of gender-based violence and provide victims with specific prevention and protection measures, and remedies. Women victims of gender-based violence and their children also require special attention and protection because of a high risk of repeat victimisation with this type of crime and due to the severe trauma such a crime causes because it is committed by a person the victim should be able to trust and also because victims cannot rely on support by the partner in overcoming the trauma.
Amendment 178 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 18 (18) Beyond these categories, but again based on personal characteristics and the crime, any person could be vulnerable and could have specific needs. Only through individual assessments, carried out at the earliest opportunity by those in a position to make recommendations on protection measures, can such vulnerabilities be effectively identified. The assessment should in particular take into account age, gender and gender identity and gender expression, ethnicity, race, religion, sexual orientation, state of health, disability, legal status, communication difficulties, relationship to or dependence on the suspected or accused person, previous experience of crime, the type or nature of the crime such as organised crime, t
Amendment 244 #
Proposal for a directive Article 2 – point g a (new) (ga) ‘gender-based violence’ means violence against a woman which is directed against her because she is a woman, or that affects women disproportionally, or violence that is directed against a person because of his or her gender or gender identity.
Amendment 248 #
Proposal for a directive Article 2 – point g b (new) (gb)’violence in close relationships’ means violence that is committed against a victim by a person who is a current or former spouse or partner or other family member of the victim. Women are affected disproportionally by this type of violence.

Amendment 10 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 3 a (new) (3a) In 2010 the Commission adopted a strategy for promoting equality between women and men in Europe aiming in particular to make better use of women's potential, thereby contributing to the EU's overall economic and social goals. The under-representation of women in the energy sector and the lack of gender specific approaches and demands can be observed on national, European and international level; consequently, and in order to implement the EU gender equality strategy at national level; Member States are required to integrate this strategy in the sense of screening of all politics to their different impacts on women and men including research on energy and the sustainable production and consumption of energy in close dialogue with the energy related industry, institutions, organisations and decisions makers.

Amendment 234 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 a (new) (2a) The Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should not constitute an impediment to the obligation of the Union to sustainably manage the exploitation of marine resources.
Amendment 260 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 (5) At the World Summit on Sustainable Development at Johannesburg in 2002, the Union and its Member States committed to act against the continued decline of many fish stocks. Therefore, the Union should improve its Common Fisheries Policy to ensure that as a matter of priority exploitation levels of marine biological resources stocks are restored and maintained at levels above those capable of producing maximum sustainable yields from the populations of harvested stocks by 2015. Where less scientific information is available, this may require applying proxies to maximum sustainable yield.
Amendment 266 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 a (new) (5a) The concept of Maximum Sustainable Yield as enshrined in UNCLOS has been a legally binding fisheries management target on the Union since its ratification in 1998.
Amendment 267 #

Member States should also cooperate with each other to coordinate data collection activities. Where relevant, Member States should also cooperate with third countries
Amendment 490 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 39 (39) Sustainable fisheries agreements concluded with third countries should ensure that Union fishing activities in third country waters are based on the best available scientific advice, ensuring a sustainable exploitation of the marine biological resources while respecting the principle in the UNCLOS of surplus. Those agreements, which provide for access rights in exchange for a financial contribution from the Union, should contribute to the establishment of a high quality governance framework to ensure in particular efficient monitoring, control and surveillance measures.

8 amendments...
Amendment 17 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 a (new) (2a) Current scientific knowledge, based on the examination of shark catch rates, indicates that many stocks of sharks are under serious threat. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), more than 25 % of all pelagic shark species, of which over 50 % are large oceanic-pelagic sharks, are threatened. In recent years, the capture, retention, transhipment, or landing of a growing number of shark species has been prohibited under Union law or in the framework of Regional Fisheries Management Organisations, including of sharks whose fins are highly valuable in trade.
Amendment 18 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 b (new) (2b) Blue shark (Priconace glauca) and shortfin mako (Isuras oxyrinchus), classified by the IUCN as "near- threatened" and "vulnerable" respectively, are currently the predominant species captured by the European fleet, with blue shark accounting for circa 70 % of the total of reported shark landings. Other species, however, including hammerhead and silky sharks, are also subject to capture in EU and non-EU waters and contribute to the economic viability of fisheries.
Amendment 19 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 (3) Regulation (EC) No 1185/2003 allows Member States to issue special fishing permits allowing processing on board, whereby shark fins can be removed from the bodies. In order to ensure the correspondence between the weight of fins and bodies, a

Proposal for a regulation Recital 50 (50) Conscious of the need to identify the most suitable areas for developing aquaculture, taking into account access to waters and space and that coastal spatial planning should ensure the conservation of coastal ecosystems, in particular the achievement of good environmental status under the MSFD, the EMFF should support national authorities in making their strategic choices at national level.
Amendment 362 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 51 (51) Investment in human capital is also vital to increase the competitiveness and economic performance of aquaculture activities.

Amendment 78 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex I – paragraph 7 – point b (b) Future and emerging technologies shall support collaborative research and user- driven, gender-sensitive technology and innovation in order to extend Europe's capacity for advanced and paradigm- changing innovation. It shall foster scientific collaboration across disciplines on radically new, high-risk ideas and accelerate development of the most promising emerging areas of science and technology as well as the Union wide structuring of the corresponding scientific communities.
Amendment 81 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex I – paragraph 7 – point c (c) Marie Curie actions shall provide excellent and innovative research training as well as attractive career and knowledge- exchange opportunities through cross- border and cross-sector mobility of researchers to best prepare them to face current and future societal challenges. Mobility programmes will ensure effective equal opportunities between men and women and include specific measures to remove obstacles to the mobility of female researchers.
Amendment 84 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex I – paragraph 9 The activities are inherently forward- looking, building skills in the long term, focusing on the next generation of science, technology, researchers and innovations and providing support for emerging talent from across the whole of the Union and associated countries, as well as worldwide, with a view to increasing the participation of female research talents.

Amendment 94 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex I – section 1 – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 6 Furthermore, these factors compound Europe's relative unattractiveness in the global competition for scientific talent. The ability of the US system to offer more resources per researcher and better career prospects explains how it continues to attract the best male and female researchers from across the world, including tens of thousands from the Union. Additionally, while 60 % of European university graduates are women, only 18 % of grade A researchers are women, as compared to a 27 % in the US. The low number of women who are able to pursue scientific careers is a dramatic waste, a loss of talent, and a hindrance for the excellence of European research. Therefore a quota system is necessary to attain gender equality.
Amendment 95 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex I – section 1 – point 1 – point 1.2 – paragraph 1 The ERC was created to provide Europe's best researchers, both women and men, with the resources they need to allow them to compete better at global level, by funding individual teams on the basis of pan-European competition. It operates autonomously: an independent Scientific Council made up of scientists, engineers and scholars of the highest repute and expertise establishes the overall scientific strategy and has full authority over decisions on the type of research to be funded. These are essential features of the ERC, guaranteeing the effectiveness of its scientific programme, the quality of its operations and peer-review process and its credibility in the scientific community. The ECR will ensure gender bias is properly tackled in evaluation procedures.
Amendment 99 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex I – section 1 – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 6 If Europe is to match its competitors in research and innovation, it must entice more young women and men to embark on research careers and provide highly attractive opportunities and environments for research and innovation. The most talented individuals, from Europe and elsewhere, should see Europe as a pre- eminent place to work. Gender equality, high-quality and reliable employment and working conditions plus recognition are crucial aspects that must be secured in a consistent way across the whole of Europe. Mobility programs shall include specific measures targeted to remove barriers to women's mobility and ensure effective equal opportunities for men and women.
Amendment 102 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex I – section 1 – point 3 – point 3.3 – point d – paragraph 1 The goal is, by leveraging additional funds, to increase the numerical and structural impact of Marie Curie actions and to foster excellence at national level in researchers' training, mobility and career development. Special attention should be given to gender equality and structural change.
Amendment 104 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex I – section 1 – point 3 – point 3.3 – point e – paragraph 1 The goals are to monitor progress, identify gaps in the Marie Curie Actions and to increase their impact. In this context, indicators, broken down by gender, shall be developed and data related to researchers' mobility, skills and careers, as well as gender equality, analysed, seeking synergies and close coordination with the policy support actions on researchers, their employers and funders carried out under the specific objective ' Inclusive, innovative and secure societies‘. The activity shall further aim at raising awareness of the importance and attractiveness of a research career and at disseminating research and innovation results emanating from work supported by Marie Curie actions.

Amendment 106 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex I – section 2 – point 1 – point 1.1 – point 1.1.2 – paragraph 1 ICT underpins innovation and competitiveness across a broad range of private and public markets and sectors, and enables scientific progress in all disciplines. Over the next decade, the transformative impact of digital technologies, ICT components, infrastructures and services will be increasingly visible in all areas of life. Unlimited computing, communication and data storage resources will be available to every citizen on the globe. Vast amounts of information and data will be generated by sensors, machines and information- enhanced products, making action at a distance a commonplace, enabling global deployment of business processes and sustainable production sites and bringing a wide range of services and applications. Many critical commercial and public services and all key processes of knowledge production in science, learning, business and the public sector will be provided through ICT. ICT will provide the critical infrastructure for production and business processes, communication and transactions. ICT will also be indispensable in contributing to key societal challenges, as well as societal processes such as community formation, consumer behaviour, and public governance and gender equality, for example by means of social media.
Amendment 108 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex I – section 3 – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 7 a (new) Significant sex and gender differences exist in health and wellbeing which need to be properly addressed. Demographic processes have significant gender dimensions, particularly ageing, with women accounting for most of the elderly population and most of the care-givers. Other important aspects of the demographic change, such as changing lifestyles, new family structures and low birth-rates, need proper consideration of gender analysis.
Amendment 111 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.3 – point b – paragraph 2 The focus of activities shall be to reduce congestion, improve accessibility and match user needs by promoting integrated door-to-door transport and logistics; to enhance inter-modality and the deployment of smart planning and management solutions; and to drastically reduce the occurrence of accidents and the impact of security threats. Research should take the socio-economic and gender differences in transport patterns into account.
Amendment 113 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex I – section 3 – point 5 – point 5.1 – paragraph 6 a (new) Climate change and its impacts are by no means gender neutral. Due to gendered roles, women's impact on the environment is not the same as men's, and their access to resources and ways to cope and adapt is severely affected by discrimination in terms of income, access to resources, political power, education and household responsibility. Women's and men's lifestyles, behaviour and consumption are often different and they leave a different environmental footprint. Climate change affects women and men throughout the world. The IPCC, the UN climate panel, has concluded that "climate change impacts will be differently distributed among different regions, generations, age classes, income groups, occupations, and genders".
Amendment 114 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex I – section 3 – point 5 – point 5.3 – point a – paragraph 1 The aim is to develop and assess innovative, cost-effective and sustainable adaptation and mitigation measures, targeting both CO2 and non-CO2 greenhouse gases, and underlining both technological and non-technological green solutions, through the generation of evidence for informed, early and effective action and the networking of the required competences. Activities shall focus on: improving the understanding of climate change and the provision of reliable climate projections; assessing impacts, vulnerabilities and developing innovative cost-effective adaptation and risk prevention measures; supporting mitigation policies. Research shall take issues of gender and gender equality in relation to adaption policies into account.

Amendment 126 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex I – section 5 – point 3 – point c – paragraph 1 The EIT shall fully integrate education and training at all stages of careers and develop new and innovative curricula to reflect the need for new profiles engendered by complex societal and economic challenges. This is why, more than any other instrument of Horizon 2020, the EIT will hold a major responsibility in systematically targeting young female talents to bring the waste of those talents to an end in the European Research Area. In the same way it shall envisage education and training in a gender- sensitive way as the renewal of tomorrow's scientific and entrepreneurial landscape will start at the education stage and through training. Finally, it shall integrate the gender dimension in new curricula as way to ensure the efficiency and quality of training and education as well as its innovative dimension. To this end, the EIT will play a key role in encouraging recognition of new degrees and diplomas in Member States.
