Amendment 79 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 3 (3) The EEAS will support the High Representative, who is also a Vice- President of the Commission and the President of the Foreign Affairs Council, in fulfilling her mandate to conduct the Common Foreign and Security Policy ("CFSP") of the European Union and to ensure the consistency of the EU's external action as outlined, notably, in Articles 18 and 27 TEU. The EEAS will support the High Representative in her capacity as President of the Foreign Affairs Council, without prejudice to the normal tasks of the General Secretariat of the Council. The EEAS will also support the High Representative in her capacity as Vice- President of the Commission, for her responsibilities within the Commission for responsibilities incumbent on it in external relations and for coordinating other aspects of the Union's external action, without prejudice to the normal tasks of the Commission services and in conformity with Declaration 14 of the Treaty of Lisbon.
Amendment 82 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 5 (5) The European Parliament will fully play its role in the external action of the Union, including its functions of political control as provided for in Article 14(1) of the TEU, as well as in legislative and budgetary matters as laid down in the Treaties. Furthermore, in accordance with Article 36 of the TEU, the High Representative will regularly consult the European Parliament on the main aspects and the basic choices of the CFSP and will ensure that the views of the European Parliament are duly taken into consideration. The EEAS will assist the High Representative in this regard. Specific arrangements should be made with regard to access for Members of European Parliament to classified documents and information in the area of CFSP. Members of the European Parliament coming from Member States which are contributing significantly to CSDP missions should be given preference. Until the adoption of such arrangements, existing provisions under the 2002 Interinstitutional Agreement on classified documents and information in the area of ESDP will apply.
Amendment 83 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 5 a (new) (5a) The National Parliaments shall be fully involved alongside the European Parliament in exercising their power of scrutiny and oversight of CFSP and CSDP.

For that purpose, the relevant departments and functions in the General Secretariat of the Council and in the Commission will be transferred to the EEAS, together with officials and temporary agents occupying a post in such departments or functions. Before the 1st of July 2013, the EEAS will recruit exclusively officials originating from the General Secretariat of the Council and the Commission as well as staff coming from the diplomatic services of the Member States. After that date, all officials and other servants of the European Union should be able to apply for vacant posts in the EEAS. Additional exceptional EEAS appointments may be made by the HR/VP from EU citizens with distinguished careers in public life, who do not come from any of the above categories.
Amendment 118 #
Proposal for a decision – amending act Article 6 – paragraph 1 a (new) (1a) If necessary, the EEAS may, in specific cases, have recourse to a limited number of specialised seconded national experts (SNEs). The High Representative shall adopt the rules, equivalent to those laid down in Council Decision 2003/479/EC as amended by Council Decision 2007/829/EC of 5 December 20071, under which SNEs are put at the disposal of the EEAS in order to provide specialised expertise. Additional exceptional EEAS appointments may be made by the HR/VP from EU citizens with distinguished careers in public life, who do not come from any of the above categories.

2011/0294(COD) Trans-European transport network: guidelines

Amendment 81 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 (2) The planning, development and operation of trans-European transport networks contribute to the attainment of major Union objectives, such as the full implementation and smooth functioning of the Sin
Amendment 92 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 (4) Growth in traffic has resulted in increased congestion on international transport corridors. In order to ensure the international mobility of goods and passengers, the capacity of the trans- European transport network and the use of this capacity should be optimised and, if necessary, expanded by removing infrastructure bottlenecks and bridging missing infrastructure links within and between Member States as well as neighbouring countries.
Amendment 101 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 a (new) (8 a) The trans-European transport network should be developed through the creation of new transport infrastructure, revitalisation and upgrading of existing infrastructure and through measures promoting its resource-efficient use.
Amendment 117 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 11 a (new) (11 a) Exemptions from the infrastructure requirements for the core network should be possible in duly justified cases.
Amendment 148 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 26 (26) In order to implement the core network within the given time horizon, a corridor approach could be used as an instrument to coordinate on a transnational basis different projects and synchronise the development of the corridor, thereby maximising network benefits. The corridor approach should not lead to prioritisation of certain projects over others on the core network.
Amendment 155 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 27 (27) Core network corridors should also address wider transport policy objectives and facilitate modal integration and multi- modal operations. This should allow specially developed corridors that are optimised in terms of energy use and emissions, thus minimising environmental impacts, and are also attractive for their reliability, limited congestion and low operating and administrative costs. Their management should not, however, result in an excessive growth of administrative costs. An initial list of corridors should be included in the Regulation (EU) XXX/2012 [Connecting Europe Facility], but should be adaptable in order to take account of changes in traffic flows.

Moreover, this shall be without prejudice to compliance with Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2000 establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy.
