Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 2. Emphasises that support for areas with natural handicaps is aimed in particular at ensuring that 'extensive farming activity' is maintained, and consequently at countering the risk of abandonment of the land and
Amendment 29 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 4 4. Points out that, in contrast to agri- environmental measures, compensatory payments for less-favoured areas must not be subject to additional specific conditions regarding the method of land management which would go beyond cross-compliance requirements; recalls that the LFA scheme must in principle offer compensation to farmers who are also land managers operating with significant natural handicaps which the market does not compensate for as such;

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 5. Takes the view that the eight biophysical criteria proposed by the Commission m
Amendment 43 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 a (new) 5a. In particular, the inclusion of a geographical criterion referred to as 'isolation' would address the specific natural handicap stemming from distance from the market, remoteness and limited access to services;
Amendment 47 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 b (new) 5b. To acknowledge the limitations of wet unworkable soils, the inclusion of a 'field capacity days' criterion would allow the interaction between soil types and climate to be taken into account (for instance to adequately reflect maritime climate difficulties);
Amendment 48 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 c (new) 5c. Asks the Commission, therefore, to pursue its research efforts and analysis with a view to including potential additional criteria in the new LFA scheme in order to further adapt its proposals to practical difficulties farmers are facing and build a robust set of criteria which will remain suitable in the long term;
Amendment 53 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 a (new) 6a. Stresses, in particular, that in order to address the interactions between many influencing factors in a practical manner, the cumulative use of the adopted criteria might prove necessary; it could enable those disadvantaged areas which accumulate two or more small to medium- scale natural handicaps to be classified as LFAs even when individual criteria would not trigger that classification;
Amendment 56 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 7 7. Emphasises that a final opinion on the basic territorial unit chosen, the criteria and threshold values proposed by the Commission can only be given when the detailed maps drawn up by the Member States are available; stresses that in the absence of such simulation results, the 66% proposed threshold as well as the thresholds defining the criteria themselves must be viewed with considerable caution and can only be objectively and appropriately adjusted once the national maps are made available; recalls that the national mapping exercise results should be made available to the European Parliament as soon as possible;

Urges the Commission, in consultation with all relevant stakeholders, to develop a common framework for farm-level eligibility criteria; points out that Member States and regional authorities should be free to choose, on the basis of that framework, which criteria are best suited to fulfil their priorities and needs;
Amendment 76 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 8 b (new) 8b. Taking into account the fact that the new criteria might exclude certain areas that are currently eligible, points out that an adequate phasing-out period should be defined, in order to allow a smooth transition for farmers to adapt to the new support regime;

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 117 a (new) 117 a. Points out the importance to look at Europe's diminishing competitiveness on a global scale. Keeping the long term projected labour shortages in mind, it is important to look beyond the crisis and explore European schemes to allow for knowledge migration and the prevention of a European ´brain drain'.
Amendment 972 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 118 a (new) 118 a. Notes that tackling youth unemployment and fostering an effective matching of skills and market needs should be focal points. Public-private partnerships in education need to be developed. Cross border mobility for students and researchers in exchanges, internships should add to boosting the importance of enhancing the international attractiveness of Europe's higher education institutions. Retaining the target of spending 3% of GDP on R&D boosts innovation through research and higher education.

EMPL
5 amendments...
Amendment 33 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 4 (4) Successive European Councils have recognised the need to tackle the effect of ageing populations on European social models. A key response to this rapid change in the age structure consists in promoting active ageing and thus ensuring that the baby boom cohorts, who are, on the whole, healthier and better educated than any such cohort before them, have good opportunities for employment and active participation in
Amendment 42 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 5 (5) The growing proportion of older people in Europe makes it more important than ever to promote healthy ageing and to sensitise the awareness of European citizens to problems connected with an ageing population. Healthy ageing can help raise labour market participation of older people, enable them to be active in society for longer and to participate in socially beneficial activities such as volunteering, improve their individual quality of life and curb the strains on health, pension and social care systems and to live a decent life in old age.
Amendment 50 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 5 a (new) (5a) Active ageing has taken on strategic importance since the impact of the economic crisis, which has led to a mass increase in unemployment, the dismissal of the oldest workers and a growing precariousness of employment, presents a further challenge to meeting the objectives of the Europe 2020 Strategy involving older persons, such as social inclusion and reducing the numbers of people at risk of poverty.
Amendment 103 #
Proposal for a decision Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point 1 (1) to raise general awareness of the value of active ageing in order to highlight the useful contribution older persons make to society, family life and the economy, to promote active ageing and to do more to mobilise the potential of older persons, in order to counteract the adverse effects of the wave of retirements of baby-boomer children and the shrinkage of the active population;

Amendment 70 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 4 a (new) 4a. Notes that the persistence of the economic crisis is making the employment of wage-earners increasingly precarious, which has an adverse impact on pension systems, and that it is therefore necessary to institute social protection schemes for the benefit, in particular, of the most disadvantaged sections of the population;
Amendment 75 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 4 – subparagraph 1 (new) stresses the importance of overhauling the intergenerational pact, by insisting both on recognition of the value of work done by older people and prioritising the employment of young people;
Amendment 89 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 6.

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 21 – point 1 (new) 1. Considers that, in order to pursue the objectives of the EU 2020 Strategy and in particular to attain an employment rate of 75% of people aged between 20 and 64, it is necessary to reform the pension system so as not to penalise young people’s entry into the world of work;
Amendment 327 #

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 22 – point 1 (new) 1. Notes that, as stated in the Monti Report, mobility of workers, which is necessary in order to improve the efficiency of employment markets, is still inadequate in Europe;

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 24 – point 1 (new) 1. Observes that, in order to raise the mobility rate, it is necessary to inform European citizens of their pension rights accumulated in Member States where they have been employed;
Amendment 453 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 34 – point 1 (new) 1. Considers that, in order to be genuinely sustainable, the reform of the pension systems of the Member States must be combined with a preparedness to reorganise the labour market so as to promote the principle of flexicurity and to modernise the social protection system;

Amendment 75 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 bis (new) (5a) In its resolution of 8 June 2011, the European Parliament pointed out that youth and culture policies are essential and among the priorities recognised for the added value they bring and their ability to reach out to citizens. It also called on the EU and the Member States to acknowledge the increasing importance of cultural and creative industries to the European economy, and their spill-over effects on other economic sectors. It also strongly emphasised that the full potential of these policies can only be realised if they are provided with adequate levels of funding in the context of cohesion policy.
Amendment 78 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 b (new) (5b) In its resolution of 8 June 2011, the European Parliament recalled that tourism is a new EU competence under the Lisbon Treaty, which should, therefore, also be reflected in the next MFF.
