19 amendments...
Amendment 96 #
Draft directive Recital 4 a (new) (4a) In order to establish the causes of violence and enhance the protection of victims, it is necessary to have statistics and comparable data on violence at Union level. To this effect Member States should collect data related to the number of European protection orders requested, issued and enforced, data related to breaches of the protection measures adopted, as well as information on the types of crimes, for example domestic violence, forced marriages, female genital mutilation, honour-related violence, abuse of the elderly, stalking and harassment and other forms of gender- based violence. In addition, data on victims of terrorism and of organised crime should be included in the data collection and all data should be differentiated by gender and forwarded every year to the Commission and to the European Parliament.
Amendment 99 #
Draft directive Recital 6 a (new) (6a) This Directive should not be solely restricted to victims of gender violence but should also apply to all types of victims from the acts or behaviour of another person which may, in whatever way, endanger the victim's life, integrity, dignity or personal liberty. The measures undertaken in this Directive should also aim at preventing any form of harassment, abduction, stalking and any form of indirect coercion. They should also seek to prevent the commission of any new criminal acts and reduce the consequences and effects of any previous ones.
Amendment 102 #
Draft directive Recital 6 b (new) (6b) Member States should also facilitate the issuance of a European protection order to protect the family members, living together with the victim, who already has a European protection order.
Amendment 105 #
Draft directive Recital 8 (8) This Directive should be applied and enforced in such a way that the protected person receives the same or equivalent protection in the executing State as he would have received if the protection measure had been issued in that State ab initio, thus avoiding any discrimination. Member States should take the necessary measures in order to ensure that no financial costs are imposed on the protected person when he or she requests the issuing of a European protection order.
Amendment 107 #
Draft directive Recital 8 a (new) (8a) Taking into consideration the different judicial systems in the Member States, it seems appropriate to provide a high degree of flexibility in the cooperation mechanism between the Member States under this Directive. Following receipt of a European protection order, the executing State, while under a general obligation to act, should be allowed to give effect to this order in the way which is most appropriate in the light of its own legal system.
Amendment 110 #
Draft directive Recital 8 b (new) (8b) When implementing this Directive, Member States should consider putting in place procedures allowing for the protected person and the person causing danger to be heard, if needed, before recognising and enforcing a European protection order, as well as legal remedies against decisions to recognise and enforce a European protection order.
Amendment 115 #
Draft directive Recital 10 a (new) (10a) Member States should pay particular attention to cases where children are concerned and should take the necessary measures in order to ensure that they will be provided with assistance, support and protection, in cooperation with the appropriate national child protection associations taking into account the best interests of the child.
Amendment 116 #
Draft directive Recital 10 b (new) (10b) Member States should pay particular attention to cases where mentally and physically disabled persons are concerned and should take in account the necessary assistance, medical and psychological help as provided by the Member States.
Amendment 117 #
Draft directive Recital 10 c (new) (10c) As terrorist acts are usually perpetrated on an international scale by unidentified aggressors, easily attract media attention and instil a common fear in society, Member States should pay particular attention to victims of terrorism.

Member States shall promote regular training for the judicial authorities and other competent authorities likely to come into contact with victims and potential victims, aimed at enabling them to offer adequate assistance.

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 #

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.
