Amendment 31 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 a (new) (2a) European regulation of origin marking is felt by European citizens to be closely linked with protection of their health and safety.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 a (new) (7a) The excellence craft and industrial SME and their satellite industries in the Member States of the Union is suffering ever increasing economic damage because of the lack of clear and transparent indication of the origin of products and the non-traceability of production processes.

Amendment 47 #

2010/0289(COD) Emergency autonomous trade preferences for Pakistan
2010/12/14
INTA
32 amendments...
Amendment 10 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 (2) In July and August 2010, following heavy monsoon rains, devastating floods affected extensive regions of Pakistan, notably the areas of Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, Sindh and Gilgit- Baltistan. According to United Nations sources, the flooding affected some 20 million people and 20 per cent of Pakistan's land, equivalent to at least 160,000 square kilometres, and leaving up to 12 million people in need of urgent humanitarian aid. However, the textile producing areas are situated outside the areas hit by the floods and there was no direct damage caused to plant or machinery.
Amendment 11 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 a (new) (2a) Pakistan’s textile industry is located in areas which were not affected by the floods and did not suffer any direct damage as a result of them.
Amendment 12 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 b (new) (2b) In November 2010, serious floods, caused by torrential rains, hit the Veneto Region, in Italy, and in particular the provinces of Vicenza, Verona and Padua, where there is a strong presence and concentration of textile and leather SMEs and industries. Some 293 municipalities were affected over an area of 140 hectares and the floods caused around EUR 1 billion’s worth of direct damage to land, homes, people, factories and machinery in these areas.
Amendment 14 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 a (new) (3a) The autonomous trade preferences instrument is not an appropriate way of dealing with and resolving humanitarian emergency situations.
Amendment 15 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 b (new) (3b) The effects of the application of the trade instrument would only be felt years after the floods and would mostly benefit international exporters and industrial groups in the sector, increasing their profits. Such measures would in no way mitigate the destruction of farmlands, the damage to civilian infrastructure and homes and the population’s dramatic health conditions resulting from the floods.
Amendment 16 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 c (new) (3c) The European Union addressed Pakistan’s humanitarian emergency by providing some EUR 150 million in humanitarian aid and the international community as a whole swiftly and effectively supplied Pakistan with EUR 500 million in humanitarian aid.
Amendment 18 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 (4) It will be important to use all available appropriate means to support Pakistan's recovery from this emergency and progress towards future development.
Amendment 24 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 a (new) (6a) The Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions entitled ‘Trade, Growth and World Affairs – Trade Policy as a core component of the EU's 2020 strategy’ (COM(2010)612/4) states that in 2011 the Commission will assess the application of international trade as a standard aid instrument for third countries hit by natural disasters.
Amendment 29 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 (7) It is therefore not appropriate to extend autonomous trade preferences to Pakistan
Amendment 33 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 a (new) (7a) The suspension of customs duties for Pakistan in respect of the textile and manufacturing sectors would be an unfair and inappropriate measure in the light of the similar floods which have recently hit the Veneto Region and Vicenza, Verona and Padua provinces in Italy, manufacturing areas with a high concentration of textile and leather producers. These events directly hit and flooded not only homes and extensive areas under crops, but also thousands of businesses, laboratories, factories and machines, causing a halt in production, the closure of many production plants and the loss of thousands of jobs. The trade measure involving the suspension of customs duties for Pakistan would cause a further deterioration in the situation of people living in the textile and manufacturing areas of the Veneto Region hit by the floods.
Amendment 34 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 b (new) (7b) The Commission has not carried out any impact assessment on the measures to suspend customs duties for Pakistan as regards EU textile and manufacturing products. Such measures would cause direct and serious damage to the EU industry at an extremely critical juncture, characterised by a fall-off in orders, plant closures and steadily rising unemployment.
Amendment 35 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 c (new) (7c) Pakistan’s territory is characterised by the presence of high hydro-geological risk levels and has already experienced many floods of a similar magnitude in the past. The problems posed by Pakistan’s territory could be significantly reduced through engineering and environmental operations to make risk areas secure. The proposed trade instrument cannot enable the Pakistani Government to implement the necessary civil and environmental protection work, which would be the only means of ensuring that there is no recurrence of such disasters. The suspension of customs duties would provide benefits only for a few international trade operators.
Amendment 36 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 d (new) (7d) Pakistan has a particularly protectionist policy as regards the raw materials for the products listed in Annex 1, and applies heavy duties to exports of such products.
Amendment 37 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 e (new) (7e) The suspension of customs duties in respect of the textile and leather sectors would cause serious damage to the equivalent EU manufacturing and industrial sectors, which are already in a state of grave crisis.
Amendment 38 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 f (new) (7f) European textile and leather production is based and concentrated in specific manufacturing and industrial areas within only a few Member States. The textile sector is the main economic and social asset of such areas. The harmful economic effects of the suspension of customs duties for Pakistan would hit such areas not only in terms of loss of earnings and increased unemployment, but would also have adverse repercussions on their entire social fabric, worsening situations of social distress resulting from the sector’s economic crisis.
Amendment 41 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 Amendment 42 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 a (new) (8a) Humanitarian aid is the most suitable and appropriate instrument for bringing relief to the flood victims in Pakistan and for humanitarian crisis situations in general. The trade instrument is not in this case an effective and appropriate instrument for urgent and efficacious action against the effects of the flooding.
Amendment 43 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 b (new) (8b) It would be better if the Commission implemented a strategy to support and revive Europe’s industrial and manufacturing textile sector. The Pakistani flood victims will not be helped by aid being granted to strong global competitors and private industrial groups, which will damage the European textile sector, employment and the European Union’s strategy for growth.
Amendment 44 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 c (new) (8c) EU citizens in textile regions look to the EU institutions for protection and strategies for economic revival and development. Granting trade measures to assist the Pakistani textile sector would harm the textile regions of the Union, with economic damage, lack of growth, a drop in orders, rising unemployment and the spread of social unrest as a consequence. Decisions made by the EU institutions to which EU citizens look for protection and development would instead be inflicting economic damage on them.
Amendment 54 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 12 Amendment 61 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 13 (13) In order to ensure an immediate and sustainable impact on the economic recovery of Pakistan in the aftermath of the floods
Amendment 65 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 1 Amendment 66 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 1 a (new) Parliament rejects the Commission’s proposal and calls on it to apply the humanitarian aid instrument, increasing its scope, as this would seem in this case to be more suitable and effective in view of the urgent and needy conditions prevailing in the Pakistani humanitarian crisis.
Amendment 67 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 1 – paragraph 1 Amendment 68 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 1 – paragraph 2 Amendment 92 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 9 a (new) Safeguard clause 1. Where a product cited in Annex I and originating in Pakistan is imported on terms which cause, or threaten to cause serious difficulties to a Union producer of like or directly competing products, Common Customs Tariff duties on that product may be reintroduced at any time by the European Commission. The Council, acting by a qualified majority, may reject or amend the Commission's proposal. 2. At the request of a Member State or a national trade association or on the Commission's own initiative, the Commission shall take a formal decision to initiate an investigation within a reasonable period of time. Where the Commission decides to initiate an investigation, it shall publish a notice in the Official Journal of the European Union announcing the investigation. The notice shall provide a summary of the information received, and state that any relevant information should be sent to the Commission. It shall specify the period, which shall not exceed four months from the date of publication of the notice, within which interested parties may make their views known in writing. 3. The Commission shall seek all information it deems necessary and may verify the information received with Pakistan and any other relevant source. It may be assisted by officials of the Member State on whose territory verification might be sought, if that Member State so requests. 4. In examining whether there are serious difficulties, the Commission shall take account, inter alia and where the information is available, of the following factors concerning Community producers: – market share, – production, – stocks, – production capacity, – capacity utilisation, – employment, – imports, – prices. 5. The investigation shall be completed within four months after the publication of the notice referred to in paragraph 2. 6. The Commission shall take a decision within one month of the investigation being concluded, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 8(2). This decision shall enter into force one month after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. 7. Where exceptional circumstances requiring immediate action make an investigation impossible, the Commission may, after informing the Committee, take any preventive measure which is strictly necessary.
Amendment 93 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 9 b (new) Revoking the measures If Pakistan adopts measures restricting human rights and workers’ rights, gender equality or religious rights or if it provides terrorist organisations of any kind with backing or support, the Commission shall immediately revoke the measures in this Regulation.

2011/0282(COD) European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD): support for rural development 2014-2020
2012/07/20
AGRI
12 amendments...
Amendment 80 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 (5) To ensure the sustainable development of rural areas, it is necessary to focus on a limited number of core priorities relating to knowledge transfer and innovation in agriculture, forestry and rural areas, the competitiveness of all types of agriculture and farm viability, food chain organisation, short supply chains and risk management in agriculture, restoring, preserving and enhancing ecosystems dependant on agriculture and forestry, resource efficiency and the shift towards a low carbon economy in the agricultural, food and forestry sectors, and promoting social inclusion, poverty reduction and the economic development of rural areas. In doing so account must be taken of the diversity of situations that affect rural areas with different characteristics or different categories of potential beneficiaries and the cross-cutting objectives of innovation, environment and climate change mitigation and adaptation. Mitigation action should relate to both limiting emissions in agriculture and forestry from key activities such as livestock production, fertilizer use and to preserving the carbon sinks and enhancing carbon sequestration with regard to land use, land use change and the forestry sector. The Union priority for rural development relating to knowledge transfer and innovation in agriculture, forestry and rural areas should apply horizontally in relation to the other Union priorities for rural development.
Amendment 87 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 (8) In order to ensure the immediate start and efficient implementation of rural development programmes, support from the EAFRD should be based on the existence of sound administrative framework conditions. Member States should therefore assess compliance with certain ex ante conditionalities. Each Member State should prepare either a national rural development programme for its entire territory or a set of regional programmes. Each programme should identify a strategy for meeting targets in relation to the Union priorities for rural development and a selection of measures. Programming should comply with Union priorities for rural development, while being adapted to national and regional contexts and complement the other Union policies, in particular the agricultural market policy, cohesion policy and the common fisheries policy. If a Member State
Amendment 90 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 (9) Member States should be able to include in their rural development programmes thematic sub-programmes to address specific needs in areas of particular importance to them. Thematic sub- programmes should concern among others young farmers, women in agriculture, small farms, mountain areas and the creation of short supply chains. Thematic sub-programmes should also be used to provide for the possibility to address restructuring of agricultural sectors which have a strong impact on the development of rural areas. As a means to increase the efficient intervention of such thematic sub- programmes Member States should be allowed to provide for higher support rates for certain operations covered by them.
Amendment 114 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 18 (18) Union or national quality schemes for agricultural products and food provide consumers with assurances on the quality and characteristics of the product or the production process used as a result of the participation of farmers in such schemes, achieve added value for the products concerned and enhance their market opportunities. Farmers should therefore be encouraged to participate in these schemes.
Amendment 127 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 21 (21) The creation and development of new economic activity in the form of new farms, new businesses or new investments in non-agricultural activities is essential for the development and competitiveness of rural areas. A farm and business development measure should facilitate the initial establishment of young farmers and of women in agriculture and the structural adjustment of their holdings after initial setting up, diversification of farmers into non-agricultural activities and the setting up and development of non-
Amendment 153 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 28 (28) Agri-environment-climate payments should continue to play a prominent role in supporting the sustainable development of rural areas and in responding to society's increasing demands for environmental services. They should further encourage farmers and other land managers to serve society as a whole by introducing or continuing to apply agricultural practices contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation and compatible with the protection and improvement of the environment, the landscape and its features, natural resources, the soil and genetic diversity. In this context the conservation of genetic resources in agriculture and the additional needs of farming systems that are of high nature value should be given specific attention. Payments should contribute to covering additional costs and income foregone resulting from the commitments undertaken and should only cover commitments going beyond relevant mandatory standards and requirements, in accordance with the "polluter pays" principle. In many situations the synergies resulting from commitments undertaken jointly by a group of farmers multiply the environmental and climate benefit. However, joint action brings additional transaction costs which should be compensated adequately. In order to ensure that farmers and other land managers are in a position to correctly implement the commitments they have undertaken, Member States should endeavour to provide them with the required skills and knowledge. Member States should maintain the level of efforts made during the 2007-2013 programming period
Amendment 181 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 37 (37) Farmers are exposed today to increasing economic and environmental risks as a consequence of climate change and increased price volatility. In this context, effective management of risks has an increased importance for farmers. For this reason a risk management measure should be set up to assist farmers in addressing the most common risks faced by them. This measure should therefore support farmers to cover the premiums they pay for crop, animal and plant insurance as well as the setting up of mutual funds and the compensation paid by such funds to farmers for losses suffered as a result of the outbreak of animal or plant diseases, adverse climatic events or environmental incidents. It should also cover an income stabilisation tool in the form of a mutual fund to support farmers facing a severe drop in their income. In order to ensure that there is equal treatment among farmers across the Union, that competition is not distorted and that the international obligations of the Union are respected, specific conditions should be provided for the granting of support under these measures. In order to ensure the efficient use of EAFRD budgetary resources the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty should be delegated to the Commission in respect of defining the minimum and maximum duration of commercial loans to mutual funds.

Amendment 145 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 10 a (new) (10a) It is appropriate to exclude procurement made for postal services and other services than postal services as that sector has consistently been found to be subject to such competitive pressure that the procurement discipline brought about by the EU procurement rules is no longer needed.
Amendment 187 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 36 (36) Contracting entities that wish to purchase works, supplies or services with specific environmental, social or other characteristics should be able to refer to particular social and environmental labels, such as the European Eco-label, (multi-) national eco-labels or any other label provided that the requirements for the label are linked to the subject-matter of the contract, such as the description of the product and its presentation, including packaging requirements. It is furthermore essential that those requirements are drawn up and adopted on the basis of objectively verifiable criteria, using a procedure in which stakeholders, such as government bodies, consumers, manufacturers, trade unions, distributors and environmental organisations can participate, and that the label is accessible and available to all interested parties.
Amendment 191 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 40 (40) Public contracts should not be awarded to economic operators that have participated in a criminal organisation or have been found guilty of corruption, fraud to the detriment of the Union's financial interests or money laundering. Non- payment of taxes or social security contributions should also be sanctioned by mandatory exclusion at the level of the Union. Given that contracting entities, which are not contracting authorities, might not have access to indisputable proof on the matter, it is appropriate to leave the choice of whether or not to apply the exclusion criteria listed in Directive [2004/18] to such contracting entities. The obligation to apply Article 55(1) and (2) of Directive [2004/18] should therefore be limited to contracting entities that are contracting authorities. Furthermore, contracting entities should be given the possibility to exclude candidates or tenderers for violations of environmental, labour or social obligations, including rules on working conditions, accessibility for disabled persons or other forms of grave professional misconduct, such as violations of competition rules or of intellectual property rights.
Amendment 208 #

In order to better integrate social considerations in public procurement, procurers may also be allowed to include, in the award criterion of the most economically advantageous tender characteristics related to the working conditions of the persons directly participating in the process of production or provision in question.

Proposal for a directive Recital 50 (50) Contract performance conditions are compatible with this Directive provided that they are not directly or indirectly discriminatory, are linked to the subject- matter of the contract and are indicated in the notice used to make the call for competition, or in the procurement documents. They may, in particular, be intended to favour on-site vocational training, the employment of people experiencing particular difficulty in achieving integration, the fight against unemployment, protection of the environment or animal welfare. For example, mention may be made of the requirements applicable during the performance of the contract to recruit long- term job-seekers or to implement training measures for the unemployed or for young persons, to comply in substance with

Amendment 5 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 a (new) 3a. Stresses that an ever-increasing number of SMEs are winding up or entering bankruptcy, with a knock-on effect in terms of job losses; notes that the growth measures adopted by the EU to date have clearly not been sufficiently effective, and calls on the Commission urgently to adopt measures dedicated more specifically to access to capital for SMEs, their revitalisation and boosting employment;
Amendment 6 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 4 a (new) 4a. Points out that, owing to clear political inertia, the recent liquidity issue by the ECB has worked solely to the advantage of those banking institutions able to access it, which have used that issue to purchase government bonds at interest rates up to seven times more advantageous than the rates the ECB is charging them. That liquidity issue has in no way enhanced or facilitated access to credit for SMEs, which have been completely overlooked and excluded from it; calls on the Commission to take urgent and effective steps to frame appropriate legislative instruments that enable SMEs to have similar direct, swift and convenient access to credit;
