Amendment 9 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 4 a (new) 4a. Calls for the Internal Market Scoreboard, the SOLVIT Report, the Citizens Signpost Service and the Consumer Market Scoreboard to be published at the same time once a year (not changing the frequency of their publication) in order to provide a global picture of the development of the internal market and to better coordinate the work that has been done in those areas while maintaining the particular nature of those instruments;

Amendment 17 #

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 8 a (new) 8a. Believes that it is necessary to find an agreement between the Member States on establishing minimum European standards for products which affect the healthy development of the population (such as orthopaedically sound footwear for children). Such standards would ensure not only that the quality of goods manufactured in the EU is maintained, but also and above all that the quality of goods imported from third countries is significantly improved; calls therefore on the Commission and the European standardisation organisations, in the light of the findings of scientific studies showing that there is a link between orthopaedically unsound footwear and the increasing occurrence of orthopaedic defects amongst the populations of EU Member States, to establish European standards in this area;.

2011/0058(CNS) Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base (CCCTB)
2011/12/15
IMCO
13 amendments...
Amendment 20 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 1 (1) Companies which seek to do business across frontiers within the Union encounter serious obstacles and market distortions owing to the existence of 27 diverse corporate tax systems. These obstacles and distortions impede the proper functioning of the internal market. They create disincentives for investment in the Union and run counter to the priorities set in the Communication adopted by the Commission on 3 March 2010 entitled Europe 2020 – A strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.
Amendment 24 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 5 (5) Since differences in rates of taxation do not give rise to the same obstacles, the system (the Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base (CCCTB)) need not affect the discretion of Member States regarding their national rate(s) of company taxation. The Member States therefore also retain the power to adopt certain incentives for businesses in the sphere of taxes.
Amendment 27 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 5 a (new) (5a) This Directive is not a first step towards harmonisation of the corporate tax rates of the Member States, which should remain the exclusive prerogative of the Member States as it is apparent from the relevant provisions of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
Amendment 28 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 6 a (new) (6a) Functioning of the CCCTB, according to this Directive, should result in a tax revenue-neutral impact on the Member States.
Amendment 29 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 6 b (new) (6b) In so far as the use of the CCCTB would affect the tax revenue of regional or local authorities, Member States will be free to take measures to remedy this in accordance with their constitutional systems and in a manner compatible with this Directive.
Amendment 33 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 20 (20) The system should include an effective general anti-abuse rule, supplemented by measures designed to curb specific types of abusive practices. These measures should include limitations on the deductibility of interest paid to associated enterprises resident for tax purposes in a low-tax country outside the Union which does not exchange information with the Member State of the payer based on an agreement comparable to Council Directive 2011/16/EU concerning mutual assistance by the competent authorities of the Member States in the field of direct taxation and taxation of insurance premiums
Amendment 39 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 26 a (new) (26a) The analysis on the basis of the review clause should also include an examination of the optional character of the CCCTB and considerations of practicality for SMEs.

Proposal for a directive Recital 13 a (new) (13a) In order to facilitate cross border access to publicly accessible online databases recording the search results and the use of orphan works, it is appropriate that Member States communicate to the Commission the online location of databases in their territory and that such information is shared by the Commission with other Member States. Practical arrangements should be found to permit the on-line consultation and the interlinkage of these databases through a single European entry point accessible at a distance and by electronic means by the general public and to facilitate access to information contained therein, in particular through technical mechanisms such as machine translations to ease language barriers.

These agreements may include financial contributions by such partners. These agreements should not include restrictions to the manner in which libraries, educational establishments, museums or archives and film or audio heritage institutions are allowed under this Directive to use the orphan works to fulfil their public interest mission, in particular as regards the provision of access to the orphan works in a non- exclusive and non discriminatory manner.
Amendment 57 #
Proposal for a directive Article 1 – paragraph 2 – point 2 a (new) (2a) Works in the form of stand alone photographs and other images, when the diligent search can proceed due to some identifying information attached to such works (e.g. stamps of the photographer’s atelier, etc.) and where the personality rights do not represent the legal obstacle, which are contained in the collections of organisations referred to in Article 1(1), or
Amendment 60 #
Proposal for a directive Article 3 – paragraph 1 1. For the purposes of establishing whether a work is an orphan work, the organisations referred to in Article 1(1) shall ensure that a good faith and reasonable diligent search is carried out for each work, by consulting the appropriate sources for the category of works in question.
Amendment 62 #

Amendment 65 #
Proposal for a directive Article 3 – paragraph 2 a (new) 2a. In case the diligent search is carried out by other organisations than those referred to in Article 1(1), the latter shall remain liable for the search performed.
Amendment 68 #
Proposal for a directive Article 3 – paragraph 3 a (new) 3a. In particular cases, where territorial boundaries of Member State have changed over time, the diligent search in the Member State of first publication may lead to the consultation of information in another Member State to which the work is the most closely associated because of geographical, linguistic or other relevant reasons.

Amendment 81 #
Proposal for a directive Article 6 – paragraph 4 a (new) 4a. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the list and the online location of the databases in their territory, and any modification thereafter, where the organisations referred to in Article 1(1) maintain records of their diligent searches and of the use they make of orphan works.

Amendment 8 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3a (new) 3a. In this respect stresses that intellectual property rights are themselves among the fundamental rights protected under Article 17(2) of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and under international agreements1; ______________ See, for example, Article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 15 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
Amendment 10 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3b (new) 3b. Recalls that a number of internal and external limits on intellectual property rights, such as the prevention of unilateral abuse1, contribute to establishing an appropriate balance between the enforcement of intellectual property rights and the fundamental rights and interests of the public; ______________ 1 See Article 8(2) of the TRIPS Agreement.
Amendment 11 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3c (new) 3c. Points out that fundamental rights are, by nature, based on a number of assumptions1: they are universal, based on rights relating to the personality and on non-material interests; they are non-transferable and do not cease; they emanate from the person, are innate and are governed by public law; in this regard, a number of objects protected by intellectual property rights only exhibit some of these characteristics, thus it is necessary to distinguish the use of effective tools to protect such rights, e.g., in the case of life-saving medicines on the one hand or industrial patents to protect designs on the other, from other interests deriving from other fundamental rights such as, for example, protecting human health; ______________ 1 GROSHEIDE, W.

Points out that, according to European Court of Justice case law, individuals may only rely directly upon the provisions of international agreements signed by the EU when such provisions are, in terms of their content, unconditional and sufficiently precise (i.e., clear and precise obligations have been laid down which are not subject, in their implementation or effects, to the adoption of any subsequent measure); furthermore, the nature and broad logic of the provisions should not preclude their being so relied upon; nevertheless also points out that, where European law features concepts identical to those contained in relevant international agreements, the European provisions must be interpreted, as far as possible, in the light of international law, i.e., taking account of the context in which those concepts are found and the purpose of the relevant provisions of international agreements2; ______________ 1 See case C-135/10 SCF v. Del Corso, Decision points 43 - 44. 1 See case C-135/10 SCF v. Del Corso, Decision points 51 - 55.
Amendment 14 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 f (new) 3f. Considers that Section 5 'Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights in the Digital Environment' is in particular need of greater clarity and coherence, as inaccuracies and incompleteness may result in divergent national rules, and such a fragmented system would act as an obstacle to the internal market, which, in the case of the internet environment, would preclude the wider cross-border use of the object protected by intellectual property rights;
Amendment 15 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 g (new) 3g. Considers that ACTA does not contain explicit guarantees concerning the protection of sensitive personal information, the right of defence (particularly the right to be heard) or the presumption of innocence;
Amendment 16 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 h (new) 3h. Recalls that according to Article 49 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights: ‘no one shall be held guilty of any criminal offence on account of any act or omission which did not constitute a criminal offence under national or international law at the time when it was committed’; points out in this regard that the scope of several provisions set out in Section 4: Criminal Enforcement is ill-defined;
Amendment 17 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 i (new) 3i. Considers that ACTA does not provide guarantees on preserving the right to respect for private life and communications arising from Article 7 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights;
Amendment 18 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 j (new) 3j. Wonders whether the concepts set out in ACTA, such as the basic principles or the concept of ‘fair process’, are compatible with the concepts set out in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, such as fundamental rights or the right to a fair trial arising from Article 47;
Amendment 30 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 14 a (new) 14a. Emphasises that Internet Service Providers (ISPs) should not police the Internet and therefore calls on the Commission and the Council to ensure legal clarity on the role of ISPs under ACTA;
Amendment 37 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 15 a (new) 15a. Calls therefore on the Commission and on Member States to provide solutions for the concerns identified in this opinion, so as to address ambiguities in ACTA and ensure that the strict observance of fundamental rights and freedoms is clearly guaranteed;
Amendment 46 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 15 a (new) 15a. Considers that the current ACTA text contains articles that pose certain risks of possibly breaching the fundamental rights that European citizens have enjoyed thus far;
Amendment 47 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 15 b (new) 15b. Emphasises that the states where the greatest infringements of intellectual property rights occur, such as China, Pakistan, Russia and Brazil, were not invited to sign ACTA, and it is unlikely that those states will sign up to ACTA in the near future, and this raises important questions about the efficacy of the measures proposed by ACTA;
Amendment 48 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 15 c (new) 15c. Is convinced that counterfeiting and piracy, when carried out with criminal intent and on a commercial scale, are significant phenomena in an information society and that it is necessary to develop a comprehensive EU strategy to tackle them. Such an EU strategy should not focus solely on combating the effects of counterfeiting and piracy, but should also focus on their causes; it must fully respect fundamental rights in Europe and be effective, acceptable and easily understood by society as a whole;
Amendment 49 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 15 d (new) 15d. Recalls that, following a request from the European Parliament1, the European Commission, in its Digital Agenda for Europe strategy, made a commitment to adopting a Code of EU online rights in 2012; considers that the Code of EU online rights should unambiguously define European citizens’ users’ rights and set out what they may or may not do in the digital environment, thereby establishing a basis for a comprehensive EU strategy to tackle counterfeiting and piracy; ______________ 1 European Parliament resolution of 21 June 2007 on consumer confidence in the digital environment (2006/2048(INI)), points 25-28.
Amendment 50 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 15 e (new) 15e. In the light of the above considerations, does not recommend that consent be granted to ACTA in its current form.
