Amendment 36 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 a (new) (2a) The lack of competition on the roaming market hinders developing Single Market for telecommunications.
Amendment 37 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 b (new) (2b) The high level of roaming prices is a significant barrier for the citizens when it comes to studying or working in other country than their home Member State.
Amendment 43 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 19 (19) Therefore rules should be introduced to mandate the obligation to meet reasonable requests for wholesale access to public mobile communications networks for the purpose of providing roaming services. Such requests should only be refused on the basis of objective and duly substantiated criteria, which should be determined on a case by case basis by the national regulatory authorities following the dispute resolution procedure referred to in Article 17. In order to ensure a level playing field, wholesale access for the purpose of providing roaming services should be granted in accordance with the regulatory obligations laid down in this Regulation applicable at the wholesale level and the relevant provisions of the Directive 2002/19/EC, which includes rules on non-discrimination and interoperability, and should take into account the different cost elements necessary for the provision of such access. A consistent regulatory approach to the wholesale access for the provision of roaming services would avoid distortions between Member States.
Amendment 75 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 65 (65) In order to ensure that regulatory obligations on wholesale and retail charges for voice, SMS and data roaming services are not maintained longer than necessary when the structural solutions are fully in place and competition is sufficiently developed in the roaming market, conditions should be set for non- application of maximum wholesale and retail charges already before the deadlines foreseen.

Amendment 108 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 14 (14) This Regulation aims at creating an online dispute resolution (
Amendment 110 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 14 a (new) (14a) The platform should offer, free of charge, an electronic case management tool which enables the parties and the ADR entity to conduct the dispute resolution procedure online via the platform. ADR entities should be able to use this and customise it for their procedures. The tool should allow parties and ADR entities to upload relevant statements and evidence. The tool should, in accordance with the ADR procedure applied by the relevant ADR entity, automatically set deadlines to parties e.g. for making submissions. It should also provide for a restricted access website on the ODR platform, which can be accessed by the parties, the ADR entity and if necessary by the consumer advisors.
Amendment 112 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 14 b (new) (14b) The Commission should provide the technical facilities for the functioning of the platform, including translation functions. The tool should offer an electronic translation functionality to the parties and the ADR entity. This functionality should deal with all necessary translations and will be supported by translators. The Commission should also, on the ODR platform, provide information for consumers about the possibility of requesting assistance from the consumer advisors. However, consumers should be encouraged to contact the trader first and thus directly seek an amicable solution of the dispute before they submit a complaint to the ODR platform.
Amendment 113 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 14 c (new) (14c) The ODR platform should be accessed only through the 'Your Europe'- portal thematic website, as this portal is an existing single point of entry for both consumers and traders looking for help or information about their rights as provided by EU legislation. The ODR platform should be made prominent on the 'Your Europe'-portal.
Amendment 114 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 15 (15) An ODR system at European level should build on existing ADR entities in the Member States and respect Member States' legal traditions. ADR entities to which a complaint has been transmitted via the ODR platform should therefore apply their own rules of procedure, including rules on cost. However, this Regulation intends to establish some common rules applicable to those procedures that will safeguard their effectiveness. This should include rules ensuring that such dispute resolution is accomplished expeditiously and does not require the physical presence of the parties or their representatives before the ADR entity. However, the parties may decide that physical presence is necessary.
Amendment 125 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 23 (23) In order to supplement or amend certain non-essential elements of this Regulation, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the Commission in respect of the functions of the ODR platform, the modalities of cooperation between the consumer advisors and the type of information which a complainant is to provide in the electronic complaint form made available on the ODR platform, as well as the modalities of that electronic complaint form. It is of particular importance that the Commission carries out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level. The Commission, when preparing and drawing up delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and Council.

Amendment 167 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 22 (22) This Directive should apply neither to contracts intended to permit the performance of an activity referred to in Articles 5 to 11 nor to design contests organised for the pursuit of such an activity if, in the Member State in which this activity is carried out, in all or in part, even in relation to single sectors or segments of it, it is directly exposed to competition on markets to which access is not limited. It is therefore appropriate to maintain the procedure, applicable to all sectors covered by this Directive that will enable the effects of current or future opening up to competition to be taken into account. Such a procedure should provide legal certainty for the entities concerned, as well as an appropriate decision-making process, ensuring, within short time limits, uniform application of Union law in this area.
Amendment 169 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 23 (23) Direct exposure to competition should be assessed on the basis of objective criteria, taking account of the specific characteristics of the sector concerned or of a part of it. This assessment is, however, limited by the applicable short deadlines and by having to be based on the information available to the Commission – either from already available sources or from the information obtained in the context of the application pursuant to Article 28 - which can not be supplemented by more time consuming methods, including notably public inquiries of economic operators concerned. The assessment of direct exposure to competition that can be carried out in the context of this directive is consequently without prejudice to the full-fledged application of competition law.
Amendment 171 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 24 (24) The implementation and application of appropriate Union legislation opening a given sector, or a part of it, will be considered to provide sufficient grounds for assuming that there is free access to the market in question. Such appropriate legislation should be identified in an annex which can be updated by the Commission. It is appropriate that this annex should currently refer to Directive 2009/73/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 concerning common rules for the internal market in natural gas and repealing Directive 2003/55/EC27 , Directive 2009/72/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity and repealing Directive 2003/54/EC28

Contracts intended to enable an activity mentioned in Articles 5 to 11 to be carried out shall not be subject to this Directive if the Member State or the contracting entities having introduced the request pursuant to Article 28 can demonstrate that, in the Member State in which it is performed, or in the related specific sectors or segments the activity is directly exposed to competition on markets to which access is not restricted; nor shall design contests that are organised for the pursuit of such an activity in that geographic area be subject to this Directive. Such competition assessment, which will be made in the light of the information available to the Commission and for the purposes of this Directive, is without prejudice to the application of competition law.
Amendment 433 #
Proposal for a directive Article 27 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 1 2. For the purposes of paragraph 1, the question of whether an activity is directly exposed to competition the relevant market, both in its product and geographic dimension, has to be defined. Definition of the relevant market shall be decided on the basis of criteria that are in conformity with the provisions on competition of the Treaty; those may include the characteristics of the goods or services concerned which are regarded as substitutable both on the demand and the supply side – for instance as far as inter- modality in the transport sector is concerned-, the existence of alternative goods or services, the prices and the actual or potential presence of more than one supplier of the goods or provider of the services in question.
Amendment 435 #
Proposal for a directive Article 27 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 1 3. For the purposes of paragraph 1, access to a market shall be deemed not to be restricted if the Member State has implemented and applied the Union legislation listed in Annex III, or if the Member State has extended to the concerned market the application of principles established by the mentioned legislation. If free access to a given market cannot be presumed on the basis of the first subparagraph, it must be demonstrated that access to the market in question is free de facto and de jure.
Amendment 436 #
Proposal for a directive Article 28 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1 1. Where a Member State or, where the legislation of the Member State concerned provides for it, a contracting entity considers that, on the basis of the criteria set out in Article 27(2) and (3), a given activity is completely or partially, even with regard to single sectors or segments of it, directly exposed to competition on markets to which access is not restricted, it may submit a request to establish that this Directive does not apply to the award of contracts or the organisation of desing contests for the pursuit of that activity or of a single sector or segment of it.

Those implementing decisions shall be adopted in accordance with the advisory procedure referred to in Article 100(2) .

Recalls its resolution of May 2010 on recent developments in public procurement, which took note of the ECJ case-law and took the view that public- public cooperation was not subject to public procurement rules as long as, inter alia, the following criteria were met: that the purpose of the partnership was the provision of a public-service task conferred on all the local authorities concerned and that the task was carried out solely by the public authorities concerned, i.e. without the involvement of private capital; underlines that those clarifications should be codified in the procurement directives,

2011/2150(INI) Functioning and application of established rights of people travelling by air
2011/07/12
IMCO
23 amendments...
Amendment 2 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 a (new) 1a. Underlines the importance of uniform enforcement across Member States and effective, dissuasive and proportionate penalties in order to create powerful economic incentives for the air carriers, as well as for the other actors involved, to comply with the provisions;
Amendment 7 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 d (new) 1d. Taking into account the fact that the lack of information to passengers is a major obstacle to the effective application of Regulation 261/2004, it stresses the fact that it is necessary to ensure that passengers receive timely and accurate information in order to assess whether their rights have been properly respected and to know where to turn to in case of dissatisfaction. Information on rights and procedures for receiving help in cases of long delays or cancellations and for requesting compensation should be clearly stated in a comprehensive and consumer-friendly manner at the time of booking, check-in and boarding, as well as printed on tickets. Efforts to publicize passengers' rights could be extended and shared with other actors in the chain by means of cooperation between national authorities, consumer organizations, NEBs, airports, air carriers, agents and tour operators;
Amendment 8 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 e (new) 1e. Notes that the process of a possible revision of Regulation 261/2004 and Regulation 1107/2006 will take time to complete; therefore calls on the Commission to consider introducing complementary interim measures to improve the application and enforcement of these Regulations. These may include keeping updated and published on the EC's website the informative documents on air passengers' rights, as well as fostering discussions and collaboration between Member States, NEBs, consumer organizations and airlines in order to disseminate best practices and build agreement on the controversial parts of the legislation;
Amendment 9 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 2. Points out the need for a revision of the Regulations to include the recent case-law in order to clarify air passengers' rights and strengthen enforcement measures; points out that passengers' right to carry airport purchases on board a flight should be recognised and passengers shouldn't be charged additionally;
Amendment 11 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 a (new) 2a. Highlights that the scope, definition and identification of what is covered by the term "extraordinary circumstance" must be clearly stated in any future amendment of Regulation 261/2004 in order to prevent airlines from making abusive claims of the circumstances that led to cancellations or delays. It further invites the Commission to reassess the unlimited liability of air carriers regarding the right to care under extraordinary circumstances beyond the carrier's control;
Amendment 16 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 b (new) 2b. Considers that a clear definition must be given for the most recurring terms which serve to establish the carrier's liability and/or the appropriate rights for passengers. This includes the terms "flight", "re-routing", "connection", "diversion", "cancellation", "long delay", "schedule" and "final destination";
Amendment 20 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 c (new) 2c. Emphasizes the widespread proliferation of unfair contract terms in air transport contracts and an increase in national case law prohibiting certain terms regularly used by airlines; thus urges the Commission to address this issue by black-listing specific unfair terms in the air transport sector. In particular it invites the Commission to include under the scope of Regulation 261/2004 the contractual issues related to the transferability of tickets, force majeure circumstances, the unilateral rescheduling of flights, the prohibition to use tickets separately unless based on very limited and objective "no show" criteria, mishandled/delayed/damaged luggage and the unreasonable restrictions on hand luggage;
Amendment 22 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 d (new) 2d. Notes that recent rulings of the European Court of Justice concerning passenger entitlement to compensation in the event of delays confirm the principle of equal treatment of cancelled flights and flights delayed for more than 3 hours; therefore urges the Commission to propose measures for the compensation of passengers whose flights have been delayed for more than 3 hours, without cancelling the right to be transferred to the next available flight;
Amendment 24 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 e (new) 2e. Suggests that further research could be carried out to examine the opportunity and feasibility of establishing one single legislative instrument comprising all provisions and principles on consumer rights in civil aviation in order to reduce fragmentation and reconcile inconsistencies across the different areas of passenger rights;
Amendment 26 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 3. Notes that existing commercial practices can make it difficult for consumers to understand or foresee all the components making up final air fares and stresses the need to ensure price transparency, such as the provisions on passenger transport services in the recently adopted Consumer Rights Directive; Opposes the unjustified charging of fees such as excessive credit cards surcharges, especially when buying more than 1 ticket;
Amendment 28 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 a (new) 3a. Without prejudice to the freedom of airlines to freely set fares and rates, non- optional services which are an inseparable part from travelling by air, such as check-in or at least 1 item of checked luggage, should not be subject to additional fees;
Amendment 34 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 4 4. Emphasises the need to ensure consistency between the different legislations on air passenger rights and in particular between the legal protection for package travellers and the lack of similar protection for seat-only passengers, thus following travel market trends whereby consumers increasingly arrange their travel themselves and avoiding any discrimination against passengers based on type of ticket purchase or unfair competition between the different service providers (air carriers, travel agencies or tour operators); In particular, it urges the Commission to propose binding measures ensuring that passengers buying seat-only seats are equally effectively protected in case of airline insolvency, as package travellers are already;
Amendment 37 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 5. Calls on the Commission to draw up guidelines on the interpretation of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2006 concerning the rights of air passengers with reduced mobility, notably on the provisions on security and accompanying persons; Notes that due to age, small children should be considered as PRM, insofar as their age limits their ability to use public transport autonomously and, in turn, it decreases the mobility of the adult in whose charge they are;
Amendment 40 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 a (new) 5a. Is of the opinion that introducing a strict definition of what is understood by a "disabled person" or a "person with reduced mobility" will undermine the purpose of the current definition to provide broad assistance to the relevant groups requiring special assistance; but nevertheless suggests to consider whether elderly people who do not have reduced mobility, pregnant women and unaccompanied children should be included in the definition, possibly under the term "passengers with special needs";
Amendment 41 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 a (new) 5a. Calls on the Commission to draw up guidelines on the interpretation of Regulation (EC) 261/2004 especially on the definition of “extraordinary circumstances”, the level of “assistance and care” and the “right of redress”;
Amendment 44 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 b (new) 5b. Calls on the Commission to introduce binding measures for airlines and airports to harmonize their policies, especially with regards to booking procedures, procedures to ask for assistance and security control policies, and to provide better information on these issues from the time of booking until Passengers with Reduced Mobility (hereinafter referred as "PRMs"), and eventually Passengers with Special Needs, leave the airport at their destination point in order to guarantee equal travel opportunities and non-discrimination and to enable PRMs to know what to expect from the different airlines and at the different airports;
Amendment 45 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 c (new) 5c. Highlights the fact that the training of air carrier and airport personnel plays a key role for guaranteeing the effective implementation of all parts of Regulation 1107/2006 and is the most cost-efficient means for ensuring non-discrimination; therefore stresses that adequate training of personnel at airports and on board the aircraft must be provided in close cooperation with representative organizations of persons with reduced mobility;
Amendment 46 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 d (new) 5d. Considers that there is a prominent need to improve the accessibility of information to PRMs and/or disabled people and adapt the information provided to them in a form they can comprehend;
Amendment 47 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 e (new) 5e. Emphasises the fact that there is a need to ensure that mobility equipment is not considered and/or treated as ordinary luggage, but as an indispensable tool for independence which is irreplaceable for the passenger; for this reason it underlines that mobility equipment should be handled with care by trained personnel according to strict and harmonized procedures for boarding and disembarking, allowing passengers to use this equipment as long as possible;
Amendment 48 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 f (new) 5f. Believes that it is essential to ensure that people who need medical oxygen when travelling, obese passengers and passengers who are required to travel with an assistant are not required to pay additional charges or denied boarding unless on strictly safety grounds;
Amendment 50 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 6 a (new) 6a. Calls on the Commission to propose measures for setting up harmonised and accessible complaint handling procedures and means of redress which will ensure the effective protection of the rights of passengers and will guarantee that they receive the compensation they are entitled to in a timely and efficient manner;
Amendment 55 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 6 b (new) 6b. Notes that the deadlines by which carriers and National Enforcement Bodies respond to passengers are too long and they differ significantly from one carrier/NEB to another and for this reason invites the Commission to set fixed deadlines for responding to passengers' complaints, similarly to other Regulations on passengers' rights;
Amendment 58 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 6 c (new) 6c. Underlines that air carriers must ensure the presence of at least one representative and/or complaint desk at each airport that they operate from to provide immediate assistance to passengers who have experienced a disruption of their flight(s) or whose rights have been violated;

2012/0061(COD) Posting of workers in the framework of the provision of services: enforcement of Directive 96/71/EC

Amendment 129 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 2 (2) The free
Amendment 135 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 4 (4) In order to prevent, avoid and combat circumvention and/or abuse of the applicable rules by companies taking improper or fraudulent advantage of the freedom to provide services enshrined in the Treaty and/or the application of Directive 96/71/EC the implementation and monitoring of the notion of posting should be improved, taking into consideration the principles of proportionality and non-discrimination.
Amendment 138 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 4 a (new) (4 a) All measures introduced by the Directive must be justified, proportionate and non-discriminatory so that they do not create administrative burdens and do not lock the potential that companies, in particular small and medium enterprises have in creating new jobs, while protecting posted workers.
Amendment 139 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 5 (5) Therefore, the constituent factual elements characterising the temporary nature inherent to the notion of posting, which implies that the employer should be genuinely established in the Member State from which the posting takes place, as well as the relationship between Directive 96/71/EC and Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 on the law applicable to contractual obligations (hereinafter the ‘Rome I Regulation’) need to be further clarified, so that a broad application of the Directive is ensured.
Amendment 143 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 8 (8)
Amendment 148 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 10 (10) Adequate and effective implementation and enforcement are key elements in protecting the rights of posted workers and ensuring the right of undertakings to provide services in another Member State, whereas poor enforcement undermines the effectiveness of the Union rules applicable in this area. Close cooperation between the Commission and the Member States is therefore essential, without neglecting the important role of labour inspectorates and the social partners in this respect.
Amendment 150 #

Proposal for a directive Recital 23 (23) To facilitate the enforcement of Directive 96/71/EC and ensure more effective application of it, effective complaint mechanisms should exist through which posted workers may lodge complaints or engage in proceedings either directly or, with their approval, through relevant designated third parties, such as trade unions or other associations as well as common institutions of social partners. This should be without prejudice to national rules of procedure concerning representation and defence before the courts.
Amendment 171 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 24 Amendment 175 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 25 Amendment 178 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 26 Amendment 181 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 27 (27) The disparities between the systems of the Member States for enforcing imposed administrative fines and/or penalties in regard to posting of workers situations in accordance with this Directive and Directive 96/71, in cross-border situations are prejudicial to the proper functioning of the internal market and risk making it very difficult, if not impossible, to ensure that posted workers enjoy an equivalent level of protection throughout the Union.
Amendment 182 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 28 (28) Effective enforcement of the substantive rules governing the posting of workers for the provision of services should be ensured by specific action focusing on the cross-border enforcement of imposed administrative fines and penalties in regard to posting of workers situations in accordance with this Directive and Directive 96/71. Approximation of the legislation of the Member States in this field is therefore an essential prerequisite in order to ensure a higher, more equivalent and comparable level of protection necessary for the proper functioning of the internal market.
Amendment 183 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 29 (29) The adoption of common rules for providing mutual assistance and support for enforcement measures and the associated costs, as well as the adoption of uniform requirements for the notification of decisions relating to administrative penalties and fines imposed in regard to posting of workers situations in accordance with this Directive and Directive 96/71, should resolve a number of practical cross-border enforcement problems and guarantee better communication and better enforcement of such decisions emanating from another Member State.
Amendment 184 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 30 (30) Notwithstanding the establishment of more uniform rules with respect to the cross-border enforcement of penalties and fines in regard to posting of workers situations in accordance with this Directive and Directive 96/71 and the need for more common criteria for follow-up procedures in the event of the non-payment of these they should not affect the Member States' competences to determine their system of penalties, sanctions and fines or the recovery measures available under their internal legislation.
Amendment 188 #
Proposal for a directive Article 1 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 2 This Directive aims to facilitate the exercise of the freedom to provide services for service providers and promoting fair competition between service providers, while guaranteeing respect for an appropriate level of minimum protection of the rights of posted workers for the cross-border provision of services

Amendment 82 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 4 (4) In order to prevent, avoid and combat circumvention and/or abuse of the applicable rules by companies taking improper or fraudulent advantage of the freedom to provide services enshrined in the Treaty and/or the application of Directive 96/71/EC the implementation and monitoring of the notion of posting should be improved, taking into consideration the principles of proportionality and non-discrimination.
Amendment 86 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 4 a (new) (4a) All measures introduced by the Directive must be justified, proportionate and non-discriminatory so that they do not create administrative burdens and do not lock the potential that companies, in particular small and medium enterprises have in creating new jobs, while protecting posted workers.
Amendment 95 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 8 (8)
Amendment 104 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 10 (10) Adequate and effective implementation and enforcement are key elements in protecting the rights of posted workers and ensuring the right of undertakings to provide services in another Member State, whereas poor enforcement undermines the effectiveness of the Union rules applicable in this area. Close cooperation between the Commission and the Member States is therefore essential, without neglecting the important role of labour inspectorates and the social partners in this respect.
Amendment 116 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 11 (11)
Amendment 135 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 14 a (new) (14a) Where terms and conditions of employment are laid down in collective agreements which have been declared universally applicable, Member States should ensure that these collective agreements are officially published and accessible.

Proposal for a directive Recital 24 Amendment 182 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 25 Amendment 193 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 26 Amendment 202 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 27 (27) The disparities between the systems of the Member States for enforcing imposed administrative fines and/or penalties in regard to posting of workers situations in accordance with this Directive and Directive 96/71, in cross-border situations are prejudicial to the proper functioning of the internal market and risk making it very difficult, if not impossible, to ensure that posted workers enjoy an equivalent level of protection throughout the Union.
Amendment 203 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 28 (28) Effective enforcement of the substantive rules governing the posting of workers for the provision of services should be ensured by specific action focusing on the cross-border enforcement of imposed administrative fines and penalties in regard to posting of workers situations in accordance with this Directive and Directive 96/71. Approximation of the legislation of the Member States in this field is therefore an essential prerequisite in order to ensure a higher, more equivalent and comparable level of protection necessary for the proper functioning of the internal market.
Amendment 204 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 29 (29) The adoption of common rules for providing mutual assistance and support for enforcement measures and the associated costs, as well as the adoption of uniform requirements for the notification of decisions relating to administrative penalties and fines imposed in regard to posting of workers situations in accordance with this Directive and Directive 96/71, should resolve a number of practical cross-border enforcement problems and guarantee better communication and better enforcement of such decisions emanating from another Member State.
Amendment 205 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 30 (30) Notwithstanding the establishment of more uniform rules with respect to the cross-border enforcement of penalties and fines in regard to posting of workers situations in accordance with this Directive and Directive 96/71 and the need for more common criteria for follow-up procedures in the event of the non-payment of these they should not affect the Member States
