Special report on interpretation expenditure

European Parliament resolution on the Court of Auditors' Special Report No 5/2005 on interpretation expenditure incurred by the Parliament, the Commission and the Council (2006/2001(INI))

The European Parliament,

—

having regard to the Court of Auditors' Special report No 5/2005 on interpretation expenditure incurred by the Parliament, the Commission and the Council, together with the institutions' replies (1),

—

having regard to Article 248(4), second subparagraph, Article 276(3) and Article 280(5) of the EC Treaty,

—

having regard to Rule 45 of its Rules of Procedure,

—

having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgetary Control (A6-0261/2006),

Respect for multilingualism

1.

Considers that multilingualism is one of the key features of the European Union, which highlights cultural and linguistic diversity and ensures equal treatment of EU citizens;

2.

Considers that multilingualism guarantees citizens' right to communicate with the EU institutions in any of its official languages, thus enabling them to exercise their right of democratic control;

3.

Considers that the linguistic services of the EU institutions facilitate communication, and that, in so doing, the institutions remain open to the citizens of Europe;

4.

Considers that the total cost of all the linguistic services of the EU institutions, translation and interpretation combined, represent merely 1% of the total EU budget;

5.

Considers that its Rules of Procedure stipulate that Members may speak in the official language of their choice and that interpretation into the other languages is provided; considers that, in addition, the use of official languages is governed by its ‘Code of Conduct on Multilingualism’, updated in 2004;

6.

Considers that multilingualism is an expression of the EU's cultural diversity, which must be preserved, and that, therefore, while the increasing number of official languages calls for pragmatic solutions in the preparatory work within the institutions, multilingualism must be guaranteed to ensure the legitimacy and diversity of the European Union;

With regard to all institutions

7.

Welcomes with satisfaction the high quality of interpretation in the EU institutions; is furthermore of the opinion that the high quality of interpretation must be continuously evaluated and guaranteed;

8.

Notes that the overall cost of interpretation in 2003 was EUR 57 000 000 as regards the Parliament and EUR 106 000 000 as regards the Council, the Commission, the European Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions and some agencies;

9.

Is, however, very concerned that in 2003 approximately 16 % (EUR 25 900 000) of the total interpretation costs for that year of EUR 163 000 000 represented costs for services supplied but not used and for stand-by arrangements;

10.

Is of the opinion that the Parliament, the Council and the Commission should endeavour to reduce ‘implicit or explicit stand-by duty’, these arrangements accounting for EUR 18 000 000 spent on interpretation services supplied but not used; notes that reserve interpreters should be available for ad hoc meetings with a short request time;

11.

Calls on its administration, the Council and the Commission to improve inter-institutional cooperation;

12.

Calls on the Parliament and Commission interpretation services, in order to be more efficient, to exchange interpreters and create mixed interpretation teams, and to make possible the use of available interpreters where and when they are requested in order to meet real needs;

13.

Calls on the institutions to encourage and facilitate the use of ‘local interpreters’, language combination premitting , and stresses that national administrative provisions must not be an obstacle; notes that a high quality of interpretation must be guaranteed;

14.

Considers that the Parliament and the Commission should establish an overview on the official/freelance ratio per language in time for the 2006 discharge;

15.

Calls on the Commission to reinforce, in coordination with other institutions, cooperation with Member States in training interpreters from their respective countries;

16.

Calls on the EU institutions to renegotiate the agreement with the Auxiliary Conference Interpreters (ACI) with regard to travel arrangements, remuneration, inter-institutional cooperation and administrative simplification;

17.

Notes the high share of travel and accommodation costs; urges meeting organisers and interpretation services to reduce travel and accommodation costs; calls for better coordination, planning and organisation of travel and accommodation arrangements;

With regard to the Parliament

18.

Expects its administration to provide estimates of the average total daily cost of ACIs and permanent interpreters in time for the 2005 discharge report;

19.

Notes that the full cost for an interpretation day is almost 30 % higher in Parliament than in the Council or the Commission, one reason being that very few local interpreters can be used during Strasbourg sessions, which increases Parliament's interpretation costs in Strasbourg by 13 %;

20.

Notes its refusal to take part in an evaluation with a view to creating an inter-institutional office providing interpretation services to all EU institutions, this having been considered by the Bureau on 4 September 2005 as being incompatible with the interests of Parliament;

21.

Calls on its administration to continue to establish meaningful ‘session reports’, i.e. reports from the head of an interpretation team about the active and passive use of languages during group, committee and delegation meetings, and to report back on its findings in time for the 2005 discharge procedure;

22.

Urges its administration to raise Members' awareness of interpretation costs; asks if it makes best possible use of the language profiles of Members; stresses that this should not lead to a ranking of official EU languages;

23.

Recalls that, pursuant to Article 1 of the Code of Conduct on Multilingualism of 19 April 2004, resources should be allocated taking into consideration the users' real needs;

24.

Calls on its administration to study how the Council's ‘request system’, the Council of Europe's internal billing system or Unesco's quota system for interpretation could be used by the Parliament;

25.

Notes that in 2003 it spent EUR 4 000 000 on interpretation services made available but not used due to late requests or cancellations; asks that last-minute cancellations and last-minute requests be discouraged; furthermore calls on the interpretation services to be more flexible in their service planning and request system;

26.

Calls on its responsible bodies to adapt its calendar of committee, group and plenary session weeks in order to achieve a better balance between needs and available resources;

*

* *

27.

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission and the European Court of Auditors.

Funding to deal with pollution caused by ships ***I

European Parliament legislative resolution on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on a multiannual funding for the action of the European Maritime Safety Agency in the field of response to pollution caused by ships and amending Regulation (EC) No 1406/2002 (COM(2005)0210 — C6-0153/2005 — 2005/0098(COD))

(Codecision procedure: first reading)

The European Parliament,

—

having regard to the Commission proposal to the European Parliament and the Council (COM(2005) 0210) (1),

—

having regard to Article 251(2) and Article 80(2) of the EC Treaty, pursuant to which the Commission submitted the proposal to Parliament (C6-0153/2005),

—

having regard to Rule 51 of its Rules of Procedure,

—

having regard to the report of the Committee on Transport and Tourism (A6-0184/2006),

1.

Approves the Commission proposal as amended;

2.

Points out that the appropriations allocated to the Agency indicated in the Commission proposal must be compatible with the overall ceiling for decentralised agencies set out in the financial framework 2007-2013;

3.

Calls on the Commission, now that this financial framework has been adopted, to confirm the amounts indicated in the proposal for a regulation or, should the need arise, to submit adjusted amounts for approval by the European Parliament and the Council, so as to ensure that those amounts are compatible with the ceiling;

4.

Calls on the Commission to refer the matter to Parliament again if it intends to amend the proposal substantially or replace it with another text;

5.

Instructs its President to forward its position to the Council and Commission.

P6_TC1-COD(2005)0098

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 5 September 2006 with a view to the adoption of Regulation (EC) No .../2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on multiannual funding for the action of the European Maritime Safety Agency in the field of response to pollution caused by ships and amending Regulation (EC) No 1406/2002

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 80(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the Opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Having consulted the Committee of the Regions,

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),

Whereas:

(1)

Certain bilateral and regional agreements concluded between coastal states, such as the Helsinki and Barcelona Conventions of 1992 and 1976 respectively, provide for mutual assistance in the event of a maritime pollution incident.

(2)

Regulation (EC) No 1406/2002 (3) established a European Maritime Safety Agency (hereinafter ‘the Agency’) for the purpose of ensuring a high, uniform and effective level of maritime safety and prevention of pollution by ships.

(3)

Regulation (EC) No 724/2004, which amended Regulation (EC) No 1406/2002, assigned to the Agency new tasks in the fields of preventing and responding to pollution caused by ships, in response to recent accidents in Community waters, particularly those of the oil tankers ‘Erika’ and ‘Prestige’.

(4)

For the purposes of implementing these new tasks of preventing and responding to pollution, the Administrative Board of the Agency adopted on 22 October 2004 an Action Plan for Oil Pollution Preparedness and Response, which determines the Agency's oil pollution response activities and is aimed at optimum use of the financial resources available to the Agency (hereinafter ‘the Action Plan’).

(5)

The pollution response action of the Agency, as defined in the Action Plan, relates to activities in the fields of information, cooperation and coordination and above all the provision of operational assistance to the Member States by supplying, on request, additional anti-pollution vessels to combat oil pollution and other types of pollution such as that caused by hazardous and noxious substances. The Agency is to pay particular attention to those areas identified as most vulnerable without prejudice to any other area in need.

(6)

The activities of the Agency in this field should not relieve coastal states of their responsibility to have appropriate pollution response mechanisms in place and should comply with existing cooperation arrangements between Member States or groups of Member States in this field. In the event of a maritime pollution incident, the Agency is to assist the Member State(s) affected, under whose authority clean-up operations are to be conducted.

(7)

In accordance with the Action Plan, the Agency is to play an active role in developing a centralised satellite imagery service for surveillance, the early detection of pollution and identification of the ships responsible. This new system will improve the availability of data and the effectiveness of the response to pollution caused by ships.

(8)

The additional means to be provided by the Agency to the Member States should be made available through the Community mechanism in the field of civil protection assistance interventions, including accidental marine pollution, established by Council Decision 2001/792/EC, Euratom (4).

(9)

In order to ensure thorough implementation of the Action Plan and strengthen the prevention of and response to pollution caused by ships by expanding current anti-pollution activities, the Agency should be provided with a viable and cost-effective system for financing, in particular, its operational assistance to the Member States.

(10)

It is therefore necessary to provide for appropriate financial security for the funding of the tasks entrusted to the Agency in the field of pollution response and other associated actions on the basis of a multiannual commitment. The annual amounts of the Community contribution should be determined in accordance with the procedures in force.

(11)

The amounts to be committed for the funding of pollution response should cover the period 2007 to 2013, in line with the new financial framework.

(12)

A financial envelope covering the same period should therefore be provided for the implementation of the Action Plan.

(13)

The amount of that envelope should be regarded as the minimum needed to carry out the tasks entrusted to the Agency in the field of responding to pollution caused by ships.

(14)

In order to optimise the allocation of commitments and take into account any changes with regard to activities in response to pollution caused by ships, it is necessary to ensure continuous monitoring of the particular needs for action so as to allow for adaptation of the annual financial commitments.

(15)

The Administrative Board of the Agency should thus review the budgetary commitments, on the basis of a report to be produced by the Executive Director, to include any necessary adjustments to the budget of the Agency. Regulation (EC) No 1406/2002 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Objective

This Regulation lays down the detailed arrangements for the financial contribution of the Community to the budget of the European Maritime Safety Agency for the implementation of the tasks assigned to it in the field of responding to pollution caused by ships and other associated actions, pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1406/2002.

Article 2

Definitions

For the purposes of this Regulation the following definitions shall apply:

(a)

‘the Agency’ means the European Maritime Safety Agency, established by Regulation (EC) No 1406/2002;

(b)

‘regional agreements’ means the bilateral and regional agreements concluded between coastal states to render mutual assistance in the event of a maritime pollution incident;

(c)

‘oil’ means petroleum in any form including crude oil, fuel oil, sludge, oil refuse and refined products as established by the International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Cooperation, 1990;

(d)

‘hazardous and noxious substances’ means any substance other than oil which, if introduced into the marine environment, is likely to create hazards to human health, to harm living resources and marine life, to damage amenities or to interfere with other legitimate uses of the sea, as established by the Protocol on Preparedness, Response and Cooperation to Pollution Incidents by Hazardous and Noxious Substances, 2000.

Article 3

Scope

The financial contribution of the Community referred to in Article 1 shall be allocated to the Agency with the aim of financing actions such as the ones mentioned in the Action Plan and in particular those relating to:

(a)

information and the assembling, analysing and disseminating of best practices, techniques and innovations, such as instruments for monitoring tank-emptying, in the field of responding to pollution caused by ships;

(b)

cooperation and coordination and the provision to the Member States and the Commission of technical and scientific assistance in the framework of the activities of the relevant regional agreements;

(c)

operational assistance and supporting, on request, with additional means, such as stand-by anti-pollution ships and equipment, Member States' pollution response actions in the event of accidental or deliberate pollution caused by ships.

Article 4

Community funding

Article 5

Monitoring existing capabilities

In order to define the requirements for operational assistance, such as additional anti-pollution vessels, to be provided by the Agency to the Member States, the Agency shall draw up on a regular basis a list of the private and state pollution response mechanisms and response capabilities in the various regions of the European Union.

Article 6

Protection of Community financial interests

1.   The Commission and the Agency shall ensure that, when actions funded under this Regulation are implemented, the financial interests of the Community are protected by the application of preventive measures against fraud, corruption and any other illegal activities, by means of effective checks and the recovery of any amounts unduly paid and, where irregularities are detected, by effective, proportional and dissuasive penalties, in accordance with Council Regulations (EC, Euratom) No 2988/95 (5) and (Euratom, EC) No 2185/96 (6) and Regulation (EC) No 1073/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7).

2.   For the Community actions funded under this Regulation, the notion of irregularity referred to in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2988/95 shall mean any infringement of a provision of Community law or any breach of a contractual obligation resulting from an act or omission by an economic operator, which has, or would have, the effect of prejudicing the general budget of the European Union or budgets managed by it, by an unjustified item of expenditure.

3.   The Commission and the Agency shall, each within its respective sphere of competence, ensure that best value for money is achieved in the funding of Community actions under this Regulation.

Article 7

(Codecision procedure: first reading)

The European Parliament,

—

having regard to the Commission proposal to the European Parliament and the Council (COM(2005) 0122) (1) and the amended proposal (COM(2006)0230),

P6_TC1-COD(2005)0037A

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 5 September 2006 with a view to the adoption of Decision No .../2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing for the period 2007-2013 the specific programme ‘Fight against violence (Daphne III)’ as part of the General programme ‘Fundamental Rights and Justice’

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 152 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (2),

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (3),

Whereas:

(1)

The Treaty establishes that in the definition and implementation of all Community policies and activities a high level of human health protection has to be ensured; Article 3(1)(p) of the Treaty requires Community action to include a contribution to the attainment of a high level of health protection.

(2)

Community action should complement national policies directed towards improving public health, obviating sources of danger to human health.

(3)

Physical, sexual and psychological violence against children, young people and women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or private life, and, in particular, trafficking in human beings and enforced prostitution, constitute a breach of their right to life, safety, freedom, dignity and physical and emotional integrity and a serious threat to the physical and mental health of the victims of such violence. The effects of such violence, being so widespread throughout the Community, constitute a genuine human rights violation and health scourge and an obstacle to the enjoyment of safe, free and just citizenship.

(4)

Traditions and cultural practices associated with the exercise of physical violence against women, such as genital mutilation and honour crimes, constitute a particular form of violence against women with short-term and long-term detrimental effects on their health, the main victims being members of minority communities.

(5)

The World Health Organisation defines health as a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. According to a 1996 World Health Assembly resolution, violence is a leading worldwide public health problem. In its report on violence and health of 3 October 2002 , the organisation recommends promoting primary prevention responses, strengthening responses for victims of violence and increasing collaboration and exchange of information on violence prevention.

(6)

These principles are recognised in numerous conventions, declarations and protocols of the main international organisations and institutions such as the United Nations, the International Labour Organisation, the World Conference on Women and the World Congress against Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children.

(7)

The fight against violence should be placed within the context of the protection of fundamental rights, as guaranteed by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (4) , which reaffirms, inter alia, the rights to dignity, equality and solidarity. It includes a number of specific provisions to protect and promote physical and mental integrity, equal treatment for men and women, the rights of the child and non-discrimination, as well as to prohibit inhuman or degrading treatment, slavery and forced labour, and child labour. It reaffirms that a high level of human health protection shall be ensured in the definition and implementation of all Union policies and activities.

(8)

The Commission has been called upon by the European Parliament to draw up and implement action programmes to combat such violence, inter alia, in its Resolutions of 19 May 2000 on the communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament‘For further actions in the fight against trafficking in women ’ (5) , of 20 September 2001 on female genital mutilation (6) , of 17 January 2006 on strategies to prevent the trafficking of women and children who are vulnerable to sexual exploitation  (7) , and of 2 February 2006 on the current situation in combating violence against women and any future action  (7) ..

(9)

The programme of Community action (the Daphne programme) (2000 to 2003) on preventive measures to fight violence against children, young persons and women set up by Decision No 293/2000/EC  (8) has helped increase awareness within the European Union and increase and consolidate cooperation between organisations in the Member States active in combating violence.

(10)

The programme of Community action (2004 to 2008) to prevent and combat violence against children, young people and women and to protect victims and groups at risk (the Daphne II programme) set up by Decision No 803/2004/EC  (9) further developed the results already achieved by the Daphne programme; according to Article 8(2) thereof the Commission shall take the necessary steps to ensure the consistency of the annual appropriations with the new financial framework.

(11)

It is desirable to ensure continuity for the projects supported by the Daphne and the Daphne II programmes.

(12)

It is important and necessary to recognise the serious immediate and long-term implications of violence against children, young people and women for physical and mental health, psychological and social development, and for the equal opportunities of those concerned, for individuals, families and communities, and the high social and economic costs to society as a whole.

(13)

It is necessary to recognise that some groups, namely women belonging to minority groups, refugee women, women migrants, women living in poverty in rural or remote communities, women in institutions or in detention, female children, lesbian women, women with disabilities and elderly women, are particularly vulnerable to violence.

(14)

Not only children who are directly subjected to violence but also children who witness their mothers being assaulted should be regarded as victims of violence in accordance with this programme.

(15)

Concerning the prevention of violence, including maltreatment of newborn children or abuse and sexual exploitation perpetrated against children, young people and women and the protection of victims and groups at risk, the European Union will bring added value to the actions principally to be undertaken by Member States by the following means: the dissemination and exchange of information, experience and good practices; the promotion of an innovative approach; the inclusion of new family models; the joint establishment of priorities; the development of networking as appropriate , not least in order to support the victims of sexual, psychological or physical violence and groups at risk ; the selection of Community-wide projects; and the motivation and mobilisation of all parties concerned. These actions should also concern children and women brought to the Member States through human trafficking.

(16)

The overall objective of the Union's measures against violence is to prevent and combat all forms of violence in order to eliminate this crime and gross violations of human rights completely. To achieve this objective, clear and credible targets are required.

(17)

The European Federation for Missing and Sexually Exploited Children groups together at European level different NGOs dealing with the problem of the disappearance and sexual exploitation of children. The Federation raises awareness and fights against the phenomena of missing and sexually exploited children by facilitating communication between European organisations towards a more efficient approach, stimulating the creation of a European study centre to centralise and analyse data concerning these phenomena and promoting and conducting activities to improve the situation of minors, victims of disappearance and/or sexual abuse, and to change the legal norms, the mentality and behaviour in Europe.

(18)

The programme will pay attention to the situation of street children, a situation which is becoming dramatic as street children are not only victims of traffickers in drugs and human beings, but also suffer violence and sexual abuse. In order to reintegrate these children into society a programme is needed which provides answers to social and family problems and takes account of these children's needs.

(19)

The European Network of Ombudspersons for Children (ENOC) links independent children's rights institutions in twenty-four Member States of the Council of Europe. Its aims are to encourage the fullest possible implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, to support collective lobbying for children's rights, to share information, approaches and strategies, and to promote the development of effective independent offices for children.

(20)

The objectives of the proposed action, namely to prevent and combat all forms of violence against children, young people and women, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States because of the need for an exchange of information at EU level and for the Community-wide dissemination of good practices. This can be better achieved at Community level. Due to the need for a coordinated and multidisciplinary approach and by reason of the scale or impact of the initiative, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Decision does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.

(21)

Appropriate measures should also be taken to prevent irregularities and fraud and the necessary steps should be taken to recover funds lost, wrongly paid or incorrectly used.

(22)

This Decision lays down, for the entire duration of the programme, a financial envelope constituting the prime reference, within the meaning of point 37 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (10), for the budgetary authority during the annual budgetary procedure.

(23)

Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (11), hereinafter ‘the Financial Regulation’, and Commission Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2342/2002 of 23 December 2002 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 (12), which safeguard the Community's financial interests, have to be applied, taking into account the principles of simplicity and consistency in the choice of budgetary instruments, a limitation on the number of cases where the Commission retains direct responsibility for their implementation and management, and the required proportionality between the amount of resources and the administrative burden related to their use.

(24)

The Financial Regulation requires a basic act to be provided to cover operating grants.

(25)

In accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission  (13) , measures for the implementation of this Decision should be adopted by use of the advisory procedure provided for in Article 3 of that Decision. This is appropriate since the programme does not have a significant impact on the Community budget,

Article 15

Protection of Community financial interests

1.   The Commission shall ensure that, when actions financed under this Decision are implemented, the financial interests of the Community are protected by the application of preventive measures against fraud, corruption and any other illegal activities, by effective checks and by the recovery of the amounts unduly paid and, if irregularities are detected, by effective, proportional and dissuasive penalties, in accordance with Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2988/95 of 18 December 1995 on the protection of the European Communities' financial interests (14), Council Regulation (Euratom, EC) No 2185/96 of 11 November 1996 concerning onthe- spot checks and inspections carried out by the Commission in order to protect the European Communities' financial interests against fraud and other irregularities (15) and Regulation (EC) No 1073/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 May 1999 concerning investigations conducted by the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) (16) .

2.   For the Community actions financed under the programme, Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2988/95 and Regulation (Euratom, EC) No 2185/96 shall apply to any infringement of a provision of Community law, including infringements of a contractual obligation stipulated on the basis of the programme, resulting from an act or omission by an economic operator, which has, or would have, the effect of prejudicing the general budget of the European Union or budgets managed by the European Communities, by an unjustified item of expenditure.

3.   The Commission shall reduce, suspend or recover the amount of financial assistance granted for an action if it finds irregularities, including non-compliance with the provisions of this Decision or the individual decision or the contract or agreement granting the financial support in question, or if it transpires that, without Commission approval having being sought, the action has been subjected to a change which conflicts with the nature or implementing conditions of the project.

4.   If the time limits have not been observed or if only part of the allocated financial assistance is justified by the progress made with implementing an action, the Commission shall request the beneficiary to submit observations within a specified period. If the beneficiary does not give a satisfactory answer, the Commission may cancel the remaining financial assistance and demand repayment of sums already paid.

5.   Any undue payment shall be repaid to the Commission. Interest shall be added to any sums not repaid in good time under the conditions laid down by the Financial Regulation.

TEXT PROPOSED BY THE COMMISSION

AMENDMENTS BY PARLIAMENT

Amendment 30

Recital 1

(1) Passengers car taxation can be an important complementary tool to support environmental objectives, in particular in relation to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and it is appropriate, therefore, to introduce a carbon dioxide based element in the tax bases of both registration taxes and annual circulation taxes. However, in order to contribute to meeting the commitments made by the Community and its Member States under the Kyoto Protocol, the proposed elements directly relating to carbon dioxide emissions should be inserted in the tax bases of the passenger related taxes applied during the commitment period from 2008 to 2012. As the Community's strategic objective to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions from passenger cars needs to be achieved by 2010 at the latest, it is appropriate to apply fully the carbon dioxide based element by 31 December 2010.

(1) Passengers car taxation can be an important complementary tool to support environmental objectives, in particular in relation to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and it is appropriate, therefore, to introduce a pollutant and fuel efficiency based element in the tax bases of both registration taxes and annual circulation taxes. However, in order to contribute to meeting the commitments made by the Community and its Member States under the Kyoto Protocol, the proposed elements directly relating to carbon dioxide emissions should be inserted in the tax bases of the passenger related taxes applied during the commitment period from 2008 to 2012. As the Community's strategic objective to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions from passenger cars needs to be achieved by 2010 at the latest, it is appropriate to apply fully the carbon dioxide based element by 31 December 2010.

Amendment 2

Recital 2

(2) The third pillar of the Community's strategy to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from passenger cars and improve fuel economy, endorsed by the Council in 1996, consists of fiscal measures and is the only pillar which has yet to be implemented at Community level.

(2) The third pillar of the Community's strategy to reduce pollutant emissions from passenger cars and improve fuel economy, endorsed by the Council in 1996, consists of fiscal measures and is the only pillar which has yet to be implemented at Community level.

Amendment 3

Recital 3

(3) Member States should be encouraged to apply coordinated fiscal incentive for passenger cars that fulfil stricter emission limits than those which became mandatory under Directive 98/69/EC (Euro 4), relating to measures to be taken against air pollution by emissions from motor vehicles and amending Council Directive 70/220/EEC, to expedite the placing on the market of passenger cars which satisfy future requirements to be adopted at Community level (Euro 5).

(3) Member States should be encouraged to apply coordinated fiscal incentive for passenger cars that fulfil stricter emission limits than those which became mandatory under Directive 98/69/EC (Euro 4), relating to measures to be taken against air pollution by emissions from motor vehicles and amending Council Directive 70/220/EEC, to expedite the placing on the market of passenger cars which satisfy future requirements to be adopted at Community level (Euro 5). In addition to the carbon dioxide-based element introduced by this Directive, the Member States may introduce differentiated taxation based on polluant emissions and the Euro classification into their national motor vehicle taxation systems.

Amendment 4

Recital 3a (new)

 

(3a) Member States are strongly urged to refrain from imposing double taxation in the case of passenger car registration taxes; particular consideration should be given to the case of EU citizens returning to their country of origin after spending more than two years in another Member State.

Amendment 5

Recital 3b (new)

 

(3b) Member States should also be encouraged to apply coordinated fiscal incentives for passenger cars in order to expedite the placing on the market of passenger cars and vehicle equipment that meet energy-saving and energy-efficiency requirements, whether the power source used is fossil fuel, such as petrol, diesel, or LPG, alternative fuel, such as bio fuel, natural gas, or hydrogen, or electrical energy, including hybrid engines.

Amendment 6

Recital 3c (new)

 

(3c) Member States should have the opportunity, in addition to the carbon dioxide-based element, of continuing to differentiate between categories of pollutants in accordance with Council Directive 70/220/EEC of 20 March 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States on measures to be taken against air pollution by emissions from motor vehicles (2) (Euro norms) as a basis for calculating annual circulation tax and registration tax.

Amendment 7

Recital 4

(4) It should be possible for fiscal incentives to take the form of tax differentiation of passenger car related taxes, applied on the basis of the amount in grams of carbon dioxide emitted per kilometre by each particular car.

(4) It should be possible for fiscal incentives to take the form of tax differentiation of passenger car related taxes, applied on the basis of emissions of pollutants in the form of nitrogen oxides and soot particles by each particular car as well as their carbon dioxide emissions, measured in grams per kilometre, and their fuel consumption, calculated in litres per 100 kilometres in accordance with the parameters laid down by Commission Directive 1999/100/EC of 15 December 1999 adapting to technical progress Council Directive 80/1268/EEC relating to the carbon dioxide emissions and the fuel consumption of motor vehicles (3).

Amendment 9

Recital 5a (new)

 

(5a) The tax differentiation established in implementing this Directive should be taken into account in the forthcoming review of Directive 1999/94/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 December 1999 relating to the availability of consumer information on fuel economy and CO2 emissions in respect of the marketing of new passenger cars (4) in order to ensure the provision of consistent information to prospective car owners.

Amendment 10

Recital 6

(6) In the internal market, tax obstacles to the free movement of persons and of their personal property, including passenger cars, should be removed. The present Directive aims at removing such obstacles by means of restructuring passenger car related taxes applied by Member States, without obliging them to introducing any new taxes.

(6) In the internal market, tax obstacles to the free movement of persons and of their personal property, including passenger cars, should be removed. The present Directive aims at removing such obstacles by means of restructuring passenger car related taxes applied by Member States, without obliging them to introducing any new taxes and in accordance with the principle of budget neutrality.

Amendment 12

Recital 8a (new)

 

(8a) The abolition of registration taxes has a beneficial effect on road safety and the environment since it leads to a more rapid renewal of the car fleet. The reduction in the cost of purchase is an incentive to replace old vehicles with safer, less polluting, more fuel efficient vehicles. The principle of taxing the use and environmental impact of a vehicle is in line with the fundamental principle of the Community's environmental policy which requires the polluter to bear the costs of environmental damage.

Amendment 13

Recital 10

(10) It is appropriate that, where applicable, the refund systems for both registration and annual circulation taxes be introduced without delay, in order to avoid distortions and different tax treatment of passenger cars.

(10) It is appropriate that, where applicable, the refund systems for both registration and annual circulation taxes be introduced without delay, in order to avoid distortions and different tax treatment of passenger cars. The transaction costs associated with the payment of registration taxes should be reduced by setting up one-stop online solutions for the calculation, refund and payment of car registration taxes when moving between Member States.

Amendment 40

Recital 11a (new)

 

(11a) In the interest of preserving classic and old vintage vehicles, nothing in this Directive shall inhibit the right of Member States to exempt vehicles of at least 20 years of age from circulation taxes.

Amendment 14

Recital 13a (new)

 

(13a) Taking into consideration the close cooperation between several Member States on the one hand and European Economic Area-European Free Trade Association countries (EEA-EFTA countries) on the other, and in order to ensure a higher level of cooperation, especially in the field of environmental protection, it is recommended that the relevant provisions be extended to the EEA-EFTA countries in question.

Amendment 15

Recital 14

(14) Since the objectives of improving the functioning of the internal market in the area of passenger cars, and of the successful use of fiscal measures in order to implement the Community's strategy to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from passenger cars cannot be sufficiently achieved by the individual Member States and can therefore, by reason of the scale or effects of the action, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives,

(14) Since the objectives of improving the functioning of the internal market in the area of passenger cars, and of the successful use of fiscal measures in order to implement the Community's strategy to reduce polluting emissions from passenger cars cannot be sufficiently achieved by the individual Member States and can therefore, by reason of the scale or effects of the action, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives,

Amendment 16

Article 1, paragraph 1

This Directive lays down the rules for calculation of taxes on passenger cars, on the basis of their emissions of carbon dioxide.

Amendment 21

Article 5, paragraph 2

2. By 31 December 2010 the total tax revenue from the carbon dioxide-based element of the annual circulation taxes shall account for at least 50 % of the total revenue from these taxes.

2. By 31 December 2010 the total tax revenue from the element of the annual circulation taxes based on carbon dioxide emissions, fuel consumption and pollutant emissions shall account for at least 50 % of the total revenue from these taxes.

Amendment 22

Article 9, paragraph 1a (new)

 

In order to reduce the transaction costs associated with the payment and refund of registration taxes, Member States shall, under the coordination of the Commission, set up a joint one-stop online solution for the calculation, refund and payment of car registration taxes available to EU residents moving to any Member State.

Amendment 23

Article 10, paragraph 2

2. In order to determine the residual value of a passenger car for the purposes of paragraph 1, Member States may apply different methods, such as assessments, expert examinations or the use of fixed scales.

International adoption in Romania

Declaration of the European Parliament on international adoption in Romania

The European Parliament,

—

having regard to Rule 116 of its Rules of Procedure,

A.

whereas respect for fundamental rights is one of the criteria for accession to the European Union,

B.

whereas the Hague Convention of 29 May 1993 on the protection of children and cooperation in the field of intercountry adoption, which has been ratified by Romania, provides for essential precautions in the fight against trafficking in children and promotes the best interests of the child,

C.

whereas in June 2001 the Romanian authorities imposed a moratorium on international adoption, which was replaced on 1 January 2005 by a law on the protection of children,

D.

whereas this moratorium was retroactive to 1 December 2000 and consequently abruptly interrupted consideration of several thousands of applications for adoption,

E.

whereas the children whom these applications concerned had already, over a long period, established contacts with their future adoptive families, and whereas this moratorium has therefore placed them for a second time in the situation of being abandoned,

F.

whereas, in paragraph 23 of its resolution of 15 December 2005 on the extent of Romania's readiness for accession to the European Union (1), Parliament urged the Romanian Government ‘to settle the cases of applications for international adoption made during the moratorium of June 2001’,

G.

whereas the Romanian government has to date not responded to this call,

1.

Calls on the Romanian authorities to take due account of Parliament's opinion and to consequently resume without delay consideration of pending cases, in the best interests of the children, and to authorise international adoption where appropriate;

2.
