15	2014/2228(INI) Recommendations to the European Commission on the negotiations for the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) 2015/03/30 INTA 15 amendments... Amendment 77 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Recital B a (new) Ba. whereas the European Commission's calculations show that services represented 35.5% of EU exports to the US and 42.7% of US exports to the EU in 2013; whereas these figures would largely exceed 50% if the services-related content of exports in goods was taken into account; whereas the majority of foreign direct investments from the EU to the US and from the US to the EU are made in the services sector, an ambitious agreement should recognise the importance of services in transatlantic trade; Amendment 189 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Recital H a (new) Ha. whereas trust is indispensable for ambitious and complex negotiations to succeed; whereas the European Parliament deplores the recent revelations on the hacking of Gemalto SIM Cards; whereas a fresh start can only be achieved by taking bold actions on both sides of the Atlantic to safeguard the fundamental rights of our citizens; whereas these concrete actions must strive to re-instigate trust at both consumer and political level, thereby providing renewed impetus for trade negotiations; whereas due note is taken of recent positive developments in the US administration and in the US Congress such as the proposed enhancement of data protection standards; Amendment 274 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 – point a – point iii (iii) to keep in mind the strategic importance of the EU-US economic relationship in general and of TTIP in particular, inter alia as an opportunity to promote the principles and values that the EU and the US share and cherish and to design common approaches to global trade, investment and trade-related issues such as high standards, norms and regulations, in order to develop a broader transatlantic vision and a common set of strategic goals; to bear in mind that given the size of the transatlantic market, TTIP is an opportunity to shape and regularise the international trade order so as to ensure that both blocs thrive in a networked and connected world; Amendment 284 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 – point a – point iv (iv) to ensure, especially given the recent positive developments in the World Trade Organisation (WTO), that an agreement with the US serves as a stepping-stone for broader trade negotiations and is not seen as an alternative to the WTO process; bto aim at setting a global level playing field; bilateral and plurilateral trade agreements are always the second-best option and must not prevent improvements on the multilateral level; to ensure synergies with other trade agreements currently being negotiated, in particular TiSA, and with domestic priorities such the achievement of a truly European Single Market; Amendment 296 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 – point a – point iv a (new) (iva) to respect the constitutional obligation to promote cultural diversity, enshrined in Article 167 paragraph 4 of the TFEU, by clearly and explicitly excluding from the negotiations cultural and creative industries, such as the audio- visual, media and publishing sectors; Amendment 314 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 – point b – point i a (new) (ia) to ensure that market access negotiations cover all levels of government, which is the common practice in the EU, but regrettably not in the US; Amendment 349 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 – point b – point iii a (new) (iiia) to increase access to US telecommunications market for EU suppliers, by seeking the elimination of US foreign equity caps and by ensuring non-prohibitive access to US networks; to send a strong signal in favour of a transatlantic digital economy in the spirit of reciprocal market access and mutually- beneficial level playing field; and to underline that pro-competitive policies incentivise companies to be more efficient, more innovative and to invest more; Amendment 396 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 – point b – point vi (vi) to ensure an adequate carve-out of sensitive services such as public services and public utilities (including water, health, social security systems and education) allowing national and local authorities enough room for manoeuvre to legislate in the public interest; athe translation of the recently published joint declaration reflecting negotiators’' clear commitment to exclude these sectors from the negotiations into a widely-agreed and unequivocal gold-standard clause would be very helpful in this regard; Amendment 430 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 – point b – point vii (vii) to combine market access negotiations on financial services with convergence in financial regulation on the highest level, in order to support the introduction of necessary regulation to prevent financial crises and in order to support ongoing cooperation efforts in other international forums, such as the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision; to exclude the provision of financial services in Mode 1 from the EU's commitments in market access until there is regulatory convergence in this area, so as to avoid regulatory arbitrage; Amendment 447 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 – point b – point viii (viii) to ensure that the EU’'s acquis on data privacy is not compromised through the liberalisation of data flowsin any way, in particular in the area of e-commerce and financial services; to ensure that no commitments on data flows are taken up before European data protection legislation is in placewhile recognising the need for data flows in every sector of our economies, their relevance as the backbone for transatlantic trade and their importance for an open internet, to ensure that no commitments on data transfers, processing and storage, neither horizontal nor sectorial, are taken up before strong data protection legislation is in place on both sides of the Atlantic and before solid data bridges are rebuilt between the two blocs; any related discussion is conditioned on the enactment and implementation of the following regulatory dossiers: the EU's data protection regulation, the US' Consumer Privacy Bill, the US' Freedom Act, the US' Judicial Redress Act so as to finalise the EU-US umbrella agreement, and the finalisation of the reform of EU Safe Harbour via the US' commitment to comply with the necessity criteria attached to national security clauses; Amendment 454 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 – point b – point viii a (new) (viiia) to take note of the worrying increase in forced data localisation requirements in the world, which should incentivise the EU and the US to work towards a transatlantic framework aimed at upholding the right to data privacy and security in a non-protectionist fashion; Amendment 616 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 – point c – point v a (new) (va) to fully recognise the right of each party not to engage in transatlantic cooperation, if deemed unnecessary or inappropriate; to define, as in CETA, the nature of the cooperation mechanism as voluntary; Amendment 761 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 – point d – point xiv (xiv) to ensure that foreign investors are treated in a non-discriminatory fashion and have a fair opportunity to seek and achieve redress of grievances, which can be achieved without the inclusion of an ISDS mechanism; such a mechanism is not necessary in TTIP given the EU’s and the US’ developed legal systems; a state-to- state dispute settlement system and the u; in the medium-run, a public international Court, with publicly-paid and publicly-appointed judges applying a common set of international courts arerules, is the most appropriate tools to address investment disputes; Amendment 782 # Viviane REDING, Godelieve QUISTHOUDT-ROWOHL Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 – point d – point xiv a (new) (xiva) TTIP should include the medium- term perspective of such an international Court; Amendment 815 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 – point d – point xvi a (new) (xvia) to firmly reject catch-all provisions proposed by the US negotiators on e- commerce in TTIP, TiSA and at WTO level, and whose scope is too large and disconnected from explicit reference to the necessary compliance with domestic data protection standards; to firmly reject any extension of the scope of the national security exemption enshrined in the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS); source: PE-552.035
8	2014/2248(INI) Possible evolutions and adjustments of the current institutional set up of the European Union 2016/11/09 AFCO 6 amendments... Amendment 402 # Paulo RANGEL, Cristian Dan PREDA, Viviane REDING, Constance LE GRIP, Alain LAMASSOURE Motion for a resolution Paragraph 10 10. Recommends that, instead of these multiple derogations, a type of ‘associaten instrument or even a status’ c should be proposed to those states in the periphery that only want to participate on the sideline, i.e. in some specific Union policies; this status should bedeveloped in order to set up a ring of partners around the EU for countries who cannot yet or will not join the Union; Amendment 407 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Paragraph 10 a (new) 10a. Believes that the best set-up for a future-proof European Union would consist of open concentric circles with an inner circle of Member States sharing all Union policies, a second circle of Member States sharing not all Union policies, surrounded by a ring of friends with whom the Member States may share anything but institutions; Amendment 414 # Paulo RANGEL, Cristian Dan PREDA, Viviane REDING, Constance LE GRIP, Alain LAMASSOURE Motion for a resolution Paragraph 11 11. Notes that thise new type of ‘associateinstrument or status’ could also be one of the possible outcomes to respect the will of the majority of the citizens of the United Kingdom to leave the EU; stresses that this wish must be respected, given that the withdrawal of the United Kingdom, as one of the larger Member States, and as the largest non-euro-area member, affects the strength and the institutional balance of the Union – a new situation that adds to the need for revision of the Treaties; Amendment 774 # Paulo RANGEL, Cristian Dan PREDA, Viviane REDING, Alain LAMASSOURE Motion for a resolution Paragraph 31 a (new) 31a. Notes that only by enhancing the Common Foreign and Security Policy can the EU bring credible answers to the new security threats and challenges, fighting terrorism, bringing peace, stability and order to its neighbourhood; Amendment 792 # Paulo RANGEL, Cristian Dan PREDA, Viviane REDING, Alain LAMASSOURE Motion for a resolution Paragraph 33 33. Stresses that for the Union to strengthen its own capacity for the defence of the EU territory, as a pillar within NATO, which remains the cornerstlso in view of a rebalance within the EU-NATO strategic partnership, as well as for efficiency and a desirable reductione of the European security architecture and to enable the Union to act autonomously in operations abroad, mainly with a view to stabilising its neighbourhoodmilitary expenses of individual Member States (deriving from the savings achievable through joint projects and economies of scale), and to enable the Union to act autonomously in operations abroad, mainly with a view to conducting conflict prevention operations and peacekeeping in its neighbourhood, in compliance with the principles of the United Nations, the Treaties should provide for the possibility of establishing a European defence union; Amendment 975 # Paulo RANGEL, Cristian Dan PREDA, Viviane REDING, Alain LAMASSOURE Motion for a resolution Paragraph 46 a (new) 46a. Albeit respecting the role of national parliaments and the principle of subsidiarity, acknowledges the EU’s exclusive competences on Common Commercial Policy; calls for a clear delimitation of competences between the Union and the Member States in this respect; notes that this delimitation would have positive effects on jobs and growth both in the EU and in its trading partners; source: PE-592.325 2016/11/16 AFCO 2 amendments... Amendment 145 # Paulo RANGEL, Cristian Dan PREDA, Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Recital J J. whereas this new system of governance implies a genuine government equipped to formulate and implement the common monetary, fiscal and macro- economic policies that the euro area desperately needsneeds; considering this government must be accountable to the European Parliament and must be endowed with a tn European Treasury and a budget commensurate with the scale of the tasks at hand; whereas this requires, in addition to measures within the existing primary law, a reform of the Lisbon Treaty; Amendment 249 # Paulo RANGEL, Cristian Dan PREDA, Viviane REDING, Alain LAMASSOURE, Constance LE GRIP Motion for a resolution Recital S S. whereas the UK’s decision creates an opportunity to reduce and drastically simplify the ‘variable geometry’ and complexity of the Union; whereas it offers at least the opportunity to, by clarifying what membership of the Union really means and what could be a clear structure in the future fframework the EU’s relationship with non- members in our periphery (the United Kingdom, Norway, Turkey, Ukraine, etc.); whereas the founding fathers of the Union had already envisaged a type of ‘associate status’o be developed in order to build a ring of partners around the EU for countries who cannot yet or will not join the Union; source: PE-592.324
8	2015/2035(INL) Reform of the electoral law of the European Union 2015/09/01 AFCO 8 amendments... Amendment 58 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Recital M M. whereas the existing European electoral rules allow for a non-obligatory threshold of up to 5 % of votes cast to be set for European elections, and 15 Member States have availed themselves of this opportunity and have introduced a threshold of between 3 % and 5 %; whereas in smaller Member States, and in Member States that have subdivided their electoral area into constituencies, the de facto threshold nevertheless lies above 3 %, even though no legal thresholds exist; whereas introducing obligatory thresholds is recognised by constitutional tradition as a legitimate means of guaranteeing the functioning of parliaments; Amendment 71 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Recital O O. whereas the Lisbon Treaty established a new constitutional order by granting the European Parliament the right to elect the President of the European Commission14 instead of merely giving its consent; whereas the 2014 elections set an important precedent in this respect; whereas the procedure for the nomination and selection of lead candidates for this position should furthermore be an integral part of the election campaigns;is a strong expression of functioning transnational European party democracy and should furthermore be an integral part of the election campaigns; whereas the 2014 elections to the European Parliament have shown that lead candidates increase citizens’ interest in European elections, and whereas the deadline for the nomination of candidates by European political parties should be codified in the Electoral Act; __________________ 14 Article 17(7) TEU. Amendment 82 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Recital Q Q. whereas the minimum age for eligibility to stand as a candidate across the 28 Member States varies between 18 and 25, and the minimum age for eligibility to vote ranges from 16 to 18, due to the divergent constitutional and electoral traditions in the Member States; whereas harmonisation of the voting age, and of the minimum age for candidates, would be highly desirable as a means of providing Union citizens with real voting equality, and would enable discrimination to be avoided in the most fundamental area of citizenship: the right to participate in the democratic process;deleted Amendment 88 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Recital Q a (new) Qa. whereas the existing European electoral rules authorise voting based on a preferential list system, and twenty Member States have introduced preferential voting; whereas preferential voting systems have demonstrably increased the accountability of the individuals elected to serve as Members of the European Parliament, and have strengthened the democratic legitimacy of the European Parliament as a whole; Amendment 91 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Recital Q b (new) Qb. whereas in the 2014 European elections the lowest turnout in a Member State was 13,05%, the turnout of young voters in the EU was 27,8% and the general turnout was 42,61%; whereas compulsory voting is an efficient means of increasing turnout and thereby broadening democratic legitimacy, and whereas experience in some Member States has shown that the duty to vote is a valuable feature of citizenship; Amendment 173 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Paragraph 8 8. As a future step, recommends to Member States that they should consider ways to harmonise the minimum age of voters at 16, in order to further enhance electoral equality among Union citizens;deleted Amendment 181 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Paragraph 8 a (new) 8a. Recommends to the Member States that they should consider ways to generalise the preferential list system, in order to increase accountability and democratic legitimacy; Amendment 184 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Paragraph 8 b (new) 8b. Recommends to the Member States that they should consider ways to extend compulsory voting for elections to the European Parliament, in order to increase turnout and thereby strengthen democratic legitimacy; source: PE-565.204
12	2015/2105(INI) New forward-looking and innovative future strategy on trade and investment 2016/04/28 INTA 12 amendments...

Acknowledges that the internationalisation of the world’s production system has resulted in new according to the ILO, around 780 million active women and men are not earning enough to be lifted out of poverty; underlines that the expansion of GVCs has created job opportunities but also propelled some supplier firms to ignore labour laws, engage workers in unsafe and unacceptable conditions, demand exhaustive working hours and deny workers their fundamental rights; recalls that these practices create unfair competition for suppliers that are compliant with labour laws and international labour standards and for governments that want to improve wages and living standards; calls on the Commission to improve conditions in GVCs; emphasises that the EU’s further integration into GVCs must be driven by the dual principles of safeguarding the European social and regulatory model and securing and creating sustainable growth and jobs in the EU and for its partners; to acknowledge that the globalisation of value chains increases the import content of both domestic output and exports, thereby substantially increasing the cost of protectionist measures; Amendment 186 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Paragraph 17 a (new) 17a. Calls on the Commission and the Council to systematically convene trilogue negotiations with the European Parliament with the view to drafting a joint mandate before the start of each negotiation; Amendment 216 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Paragraph 23 23. Considers plurilateral negotiations within the WTO such as the Information Technology Agreement and, the Environmental Goods Agreements and the Trade in Services Agreement to be the second-best option; emphasises that trade policy should also be used as a tool for increasing the competiveness of environmentally beneficial products; stresses the importance of multilateralising the ‘green goods’ initiative and of considering whether bilateral or unilateral trade agreements could provide premium preferences for environmental goods; underlines that TiSA is an opportunity to revive progress on trade in services at WTO level; Amendment 285 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Paragraph 29 29. Stresses that further trade liberalisation measures require the EU to be able to respond even more effectively to unfair trading practices and ensure a level playing field; underlines that TDIs must remain an indispensable component of the EU’s trade strategy; recalls that the current EU trade defence legislation dates back to 1995; stresses that the Union’s trade defence system needs to be modernised urgently; points out that EU trade defence law must be more effective, adapted to today’s challenges and trade patterns, and also increase transparency and predictability; regrets that the TDI modernisation proposal is blocked in the Council; regretnotes that the Commission does not refer at all to the need for TDI modernisation in its ‘Trade for All’ communication; calls on the Council to boost its efforts regarding TDI modernisation urgently, especially at a time when China is firmly requesting recognition of MES, and asks the Commission to present a new proposal; Amendment 326 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Paragraph 35 35. Shares the Commission’s view that the temporary movement of professionals has become essential to increasing business internationally; stresses that a labour mobility chapter should be included in all EU trade and investment agreements; recalls however that Mode 4 commitments must only apply to the movement of highly skilled professionals and that labour and social standards in the host country must prevail; Amendment 327 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Paragraph 36 36. Welcomes the Commission’s 36. intention to use trade policy to tackle new forms of digital protectionism and to set rules for e-commerce and cross-border data flows in compliance with EU data entrepreneurship within the EU; stresses that ensuring regulatory cooperation, mutual recognition and harmonisation of standards in the digital trade sector is vital; calls on the Commission to put forward a new model for e-commerce chapters, which would then serve as the basis for the EU proposal in all trade negotiations, and which would seek to ensure the free flow of data, in full compliance with data protection rules in place in the country of origin of the data subject, and with general exceptions grounded in appropriate criteria; Amendment 346 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Paragraph 38 38. Emphasises that a forward-looking trade policy must pay greater attention to the specific needs of SMEs and ensure that they can fully benefit from trade and investment agreements; recalls that only a small share of European SMEs are able to identify and exploit the opportunities that globalisation and trade liberalisation offer; notes that only 13 % of European SMEs have been internationally active outside the EU; supports initiatives to facilitate the internationalisation of European SMEs, but believes that new ways need to be explored on how to better assist SMEs in their sale of goods and services abroad; stresses that SMEs need more tailor-made support, starting in Member States; highlights the importance for SMEs of having access to user-friendly online information about Amendment 363 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Paragraph 42 42. Stresses the importance of further debate with stakeholders and Parliament onWelcomes the Commission’'s proposal for thean Investment Court Ssystem in order to better clarify its impact on the ‘right to regulate’, the annual costs for the EU budget and its compliance with the EU legal order, the power of the EU court, with publicly-appointed and publicly- remunerated judges; believes that its inclusion in bilateral agreements should be considered as a first step towards ian particular, and more specifically the EU competiInternational Investment Court applying a common set of international rules; Amendment 376 # Viviane REDING Motion for a resolution Paragraph 44 44.
