Amendment 23 # Zita GURMAI Proposal for a decision Title 1 DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on the European Year of Citizenship (2013) (This amendment applies throughout the text.

1	2011/0412(COD) Financing instrument for the promotion of democracy and human rights worldwide 2014-2020 2012/05/06 FEMM 1 amendments... Amendment 13 # Zita GURMAI Proposal for a regulation Recital 13 (13) Furthermore, whilst democracy and human rights objectives must be increasingly mainstreamed in all external assistance financing instruments, Union assistance under this Regulation will have a specific complementary and additional role by virtue of its global nature and its independence of action from the consent of third country governments and other public authorities. This will allow for cooperation with civil society on democracy issues and sensitive human rights ~~and democracy issues possible~~such as gender equality, providing the flexibility to respond to changing circumstances. It should also provide Union capacity to articulate and support specific objectives and measures at international level which are neither geographically linked nor crisis related and which may require a transnational approach or involve operations both within the Union and in a range of third countries. Moreover, it will provide the necessary framework for operations, such as support for independent European Union election observation missions requiring policy coherence, a unified management system and common operating standards. source: PE-491.098

The moving averages for interest rates and salary growth should therefore be extended to 30 years with a transitional period of 8 years. The pension scheme reform should take into account the already existing pension gap between women and men and the potential effect this reform will have on the pensions of women, especially those in the lowest grades. Amendment 25 # Zita GURMAI Proposal for a regulation Article 1 – point 22 – point a a (new) Staff Regulations Article 55a– paragraph 2 – subparagraph 1 – point e a (new) (aa) The following point shall be added to the first subparagraph of paragraph 2: '(ea) to care for a child up to 12 years of age if the reduction in working time is no more than 5 % of normal working time.
