2012/05/21
LIBE
8 amendments...
Amendment 2 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 a (new) 1a. Reiterates that Europe needs an international agreement to step up the fight against counterfeit products as these products are causing billions of Euros of damage every year to European companies, thereby also putting European jobs at risk; notes that in addition, counterfeit products often do not fulfil European safety requirements, posing significant health hazards to consumers;
Amendment 3 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 b (new) 1b. Notes that ACTA must fully respect Union law, especially the Charter and the data protection acquis; reiterates that it is important that ACTA is not open to any interpretation that could lead Member States to infringe the Charter when implementing provisions of ACTA and therefore calls on the Commission and Member States to ensure legal clarity in the provisions of ACTA;
Amendment 22 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 9 a (new) 9a. Notes that concern has especially been raised on those provisions that leave room for flexibility in their implementation, on the basis that these provisions might be implemented in the Union in a manner that could be illegal or contrary to fundamental rights; considers that this is an unsubstantiated assumption which is contrary to the general principles of law and to the letter of ACTA itself as it explicitly requires that the optional or flexible provisions therein be implemented in compliance with fundamental rights and applicable domestic provisions; reiterates however that this does not justify ambiguities contained in ACTA;
Amendment 23 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 9 b (new) 9b. Notes that despite the ambiguities that remain in ACTA, there is no evidence whatsoever, not even in the European Data Protection Supervisor's opinion on ACTA, that it goes contrary to Union law or that it violates fundamental rights and freedoms in any manner;
Amendment 30 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 14 a (new) 14a. Emphasises that Internet Service Providers (ISPs) should not police the Internet and therefore calls on the Commission and the Council to ensure legal clarity on the role of ISPs under ACTA;
Amendment 31 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 14 b (new) 14b. Considers that ACTA only targets large-scale infringement of intellectual property rights (IPRs), allowing for signatory states to exempt non- commercial use from its provisions on criminal enforcement procedures; notes, however, that it is unclear where to draw the line between commercial and non- commercial use; calls therefore on the Commission and on Member States to define the notion of infringement of IPRs on a commercial scale and to add legal clarity as to when Member States could impose criminal enforcement measures on internet users;
Amendment 34 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 15 15. Considers that when fundamental rights are at stake ambiguity must be avoided and at the least reduced to a minimum; moreover, and without assigning any wrongful intentions ("procès d'intention") to the ACTA implementation measures, takes the view that in the current state of affairs
Amendment 37 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 15 a (new) 15a. Calls therefore on the Commission and on Member States to provide solutions for the concerns identified in this opinion, so as to address ambiguities in ACTA and ensure that the strict observance of fundamental rights and freedoms is clearly guaranteed;

2011/0217(COD) European Year of Citizens (2013)
2012/02/23
LIBE
9 amendments...
Amendment 48 #
Proposal for a decision Title 1 Proposal for a decision of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European Year of Citizens and Citizenship (2013)
Amendment 104 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 16 a (new) (16a) Increased involvement of citizens in the functioning of the administrative organs of the Union – through civil- society organisations – would make it possible to reduce the distance between citizens and the Union institutions and to increase the legitimacy of the decisions taken at Union level, as a result of which a more effective, more united and stronger Union could come into being, because the European Union’s acquis needs to be popularised more widely and public awareness of it sorely needs to be promoted.
Amendment 111 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 19 a (new) (19a) The ‘Europe Direct’ Information Centres – like the civil-society organisations operating in the various Member States which possess substantial expertise – as the local interface between the Union and its citizens, should be close partners of the European Parliament in awareness-raising campaigns, by stimulating local and regional debate about the Union, transmitting and distributing to the public information material and offering the opportunity to send feedback to the Union institutions. As the economic and moral crisis and the task of dealing with the debt crisis are imposing heavy burdens on the Member States, involvement of civil society could create a variety of opportunities to solve societal, sociological and economic problems; over and above national objectives, it may rather prove possible to find a solution by raising national target figures.
Amendment 116 #
Proposal for a decision Article 1 – paragraph 1 The year 2013 shall be designated as the 'European Year of Citizens and Citizenship' (hereinafter referred to as 'the European Year').
Amendment 123 #
Proposal for a decision Article 2 – paragraph 2 – indent 1 a (new) – by means of a pan-European awareness campaign dealing with fundamental issues – for example freedom, the rule of law, equality, solidarity and respect for human rights – to increase Union citizens’ awareness that in cross-border situations all rights arising from citizenship of the Union are also guaranteed to them when they decide to exercise their right to move to and reside in another Member State, including their right to participate in the democratic life of the Union;
Amendment 129 #
Proposal for a decision Article 2 – paragraph 2 – indent 3 a (new) – to promote an excellent level of awareness of rights among the employees of EU and national institutions, thus facilitating the exercise of those rights and improving their application in relations between European citizens and the institutions;
Amendment 133 #
Proposal for a decision Article 3 – paragraph 1 – indent 1 – information, education and awareness raising campaigns targeted at the general public and more specific audiences, such as vulnerable groups, young people, women, people with disabilities and employees of public institutions that make it possible to exercise rights and, to that end, free and easy access to information for all Union citizens in simple language in order to promote transparency and strengthen democracy;

Amendment 35 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 11 (11) The digital shift is having a massive impact on how cultural and creative goods and services are made, disseminated, accessed, consumed and monetised. It also ensures that cultural goods are easier to access and intercultural relations are strengthened. These changes offer great opportunities for the European cultural and creative sectors. Lower distribution costs, new distribution channels and new opportunities for niche products can facilitate access and increase circulation worldwide. In order to seize these opportunities and adapt to the context of the digital shift and globalisation, the cultural and creative sectors need to develop new skills and require greater access to finance to upgrade equipment, develop new production and distribution methods and adapt their business models.
Amendment 47 #

Amendment 8 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 a (new) 1a. Underlines that although early school leaving (ESL) is more common among boys than girls. There is a special situation in the case of the traditional Roma communities, where due to the custom of early marriages, the school drop-out of young girls is more frequent. This ESL of young Roma girls happens at an earlier age (around 12-13 years) in comparison with boys (around 14-15 years);
Amendment 34 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 4 4. Urges the Member States to carry out an analysis of the problem of early school leaving, while taking due account of data protection, and to develop appropriate packages of measures for prevention, intervention and compensation. In the case of traditional Roma communities there is a need for supplementary positive measures in order to overcome the ESL as a result of these harmful traditional practices;
