Gianluca Susta, on behalf of the ALDE Group, moved an oral amendment to amendment 4, which then read as follows:
6. Is of the opinion that efficient and extensive economic cooperation between Russia and the EU must be based on high standards of democracy and free market principles, and calls on Russia to continue with market reforms, to refrain from politicising the economy and to respect the independence of public and private institutions;
Godelieve Quisthoudt-Rowohl (rapporteur) moved an oral amendment to amendment 26, which now read as follows:
41. Is convinced that, in addition to the need for Russia to ratify the European Energy Charter, the EU should consider negotiating a formal framework document on energy relations with Russia in the context of the new PCA; suggests that elements of the European Energy Charter Treaty should be transposed in a new document, as the current situation, characterised by a lack of formal agreement, is unacceptable;

|
— |
having regard to Rule 45 of its Rules of Procedure, |
|
— |
having regard to the report of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy and the opinions of the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection, the Committee on Regional Development and the Committee on Legal Affairs (A6-0193/2007), |
|
A. |
whereas the development of Internet and broadband has transformed the global economy, integrated regions and countries with each other, created a dynamic paradigm where individual citizens wherever they live have opportunities never seen before regarding information, communication, influence, participation, consumption, professional life and entrepreneurship, |
|
B. |
whereas broadband will serve to strengthen integration and cohesion within the EU, |
|
C. |
whereas the Community strategic guidelines on cohesion, 2007-2013 make a priority of ‘ensuring availability of ICT infrastructure and related services where the market fails to provide it at an affordable cost and to an adequate level to support the required services, especially in remote and rural areas and in new Member States’, |
|
D. |
whereas the value of the Internet and broadband increases exponentially with every new user, something which is essential if Europe is to become a leading knowledge-based society; whereas spectrum reallocation offers the possibility of bringing poorly-covered areas into the digital society, |
|
E. |
whereas the 500 million citizens that play a part in the EU's internal market represent a globally unique critical mass, which is required for the development of new innovative services, the corollary of which is an increase in opportunities all over the Union; whereas this highlights the common European benefit to be derived from everyone having access to broadband, |
|
F. |
whereas in its abovementioned judgment in France Télécom SA v Commission the Court of First Instance held that the fast-growing nature of the broadband sector did not preclude the application of competition rules, |
|
G. |
whereas the number of broadband lines has almost doubled and the number of broadband subscribers has almost quadrupled in the past three years; whereas these developments have been market driven and are enhanced by competition, thereby proving the importance of not distorting the market, |
|
H. |
whereas Member States experiencing higher competition in the broadband market as well as competition between different technologies show a higher degree of broadband coverage and penetration, |
|
I. |
whereas online services such as e-government, e-health, e-learning and e-procurement can only become truly inclusive and strengthen cohesion if they are made widely available to Union citizens and to the business community by means of broadband connections, |
|
J. |
whereas broadband Internet connections may contribute to a more sophisticated, inclusive health-care system using distance-diagnosis and distance healing in less developed regions, |
|
K. |
whereas broadband Internet connections may contribute to a more sophisticated, inclusive education system providing distance-learning applications in regions without satisfactory school infrastructure, |
|
L. |
whereas the lowest-speed broadband connections are no longer sufficient for functional use of the more demanding Internet services and video content, |
|
M. |
whereas the rapid development of Internet services and content is creating a need for high-speed broadband connections, |
|
N. |
whereas the extent of broadband deployment has not been the same in all Member States and regions of the EU; whereas the availability thereof in inaccessible (island and mountain) and rural areas remains limited because of the high cost of broadband networks and services; whereas the low level of demand outside EU metropolitan centres means lower investment and could discourage broadband service providers, given the lack of business opportunity, |
|
O. |
whereas a substantial disparity remains in terms of broadband deployment between urban centres and remote areas, and between the old and new Member States; whereas this highlights the need for technological development, for new operators to be given better opportunities to enter the market and for clear strategies on how to increase the speed of innovation, thus making it easier for rural areas and countries lagging behind to catch up, |
|
P. |
whereas, in order to improve access for socially disadvantaged groups, training and support measures should be provided such as will ensure equal opportunities, |
|
Q. |
whereas functional-capacity broadband access is important for all Community users irrespective of where they are physically located, |
|
R. |
whereas the correct and timely implementation of the current framework is an essential precondition of an open, competitive and innovative market for electronic communication services; whereas the procedures for transposing and implementing the framework vary greatly among the Member States, fragmenting the single communications market, |
|
S. |
whereas every school should have broadband connections, with a view to a future in which no child in the EU is left off line, |
|
T. |
whereas, through the digital switchover and the transition from analogue to digital, several hundred megahertz of spectrum will be released, offering the possibility of reallocating spectrum and opening up a spectrum commons, |
The potential of broadband
|
1. |
Stresses the opportunities that an internal market with nearly 500 million people connected to broadband would bring about, representing a globally unique critical mass of users exposing all regions to new opportunities, giving every user a valuable service and giving the EU the capacity to be a world leading knowledge-based economy; |
|
2. |
Considers that general access to broadband is an essential prerequisite for social development and improved public services and that public authorities should make every effort to ensure that all citizens have access to broadband, thereby enabling its benefits to extend to every section of the population, particularly in the less-developed areas of the Union; |
|
3. |
Sees the deployment of broadband networks offering reliable transmission at competitive bandwidth as crucial for business growth, societal development and the enhancement of public services; |
|
4. |
Emphasises that the magnitude of broadband development cannot be foreseen or planned, but that it can be stimulated and supported by a creative and open environment; |
|
5. |
Emphasises that broader deployment of broadband would revitalise the internal market in general; |
Connecting Europe
|
6. |
Stresses that broadband deployment in rural areas is a key factor in the participation of all in the knowledge society; points out, in addition, that broadband services are equally decisive for the economic development of the regions and should therefore be deployed as widely as possible; |
|
7. |
Calls on the Member States to promote broadband connections in every school, university and educational centre in the EU and the introduction of distance learning, with a view to a future where no child in the EU and no individual involved in educational programmes is left off line; |
|
8. |
Notes that in bridging the digital divide, a basic structure, such as the availability of computers in households and in public institutions, must be promoted; |
|
9. |
Encourages the Member States to produce broadband infrastructure mapping in order to more accurately indicate the coverage of broadband service; |
The key role of innovation
|
10. |
Takes the view that the key to closing the broadband gap is innovative technology, that is technology which makes it possible to construct high-capacity broadband connections, and points to the fact that new technology has allowed disadvantaged regions to leapfrog many phases of development; |
|
11. |
Points out that developing the competitive advantages and solving the serious problems of rural, sparsely-populated and inaccessible (island, mountain and other) areas depends on innovative uses of information and communication technologies (ICTs); |
|
12. |
Emphasises that new technology is by nature more far-reaching and inclusive, thereby making more advanced services possible; stresses also that broadband services will help regions, in particular the leastdeveloped regions, to attract businesses, facilitate distance working, offer new medical diagnostic and care services, and achieve improved educational standards and public services; |
|
13. |
Considers that new technology offers interesting and cheaper solutions for remote, inaccessible and rural areas, as wireless links and mobile and satellite communications may deliver broadband to areas traditionally excluded by fixed-line networks; notes that these new technologies must be taken into account when radio spectrum is allocated; |
|
14. |
Stresses that the development of innovative technologies is to be encouraged at all levels, and that a serious effort is needed to promote access to the market and to maintain fair competition therein; |
|
15. |
Considers it important to mobilise ICT research and ICT partnerships between universities, local authorities and business; |
|
16. |
Encourages the Commission to consider broadband and especially mobile broadband solutions as important within the working programmes of the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP) and the Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration activities (FP7); |
|
17. |
Urges the Commission to actively seek substantial synergies between its own sectoral programmes, such as FP7 and the CIP, including also better coordination with international programmes and the funding provided through the structural and rural development funds for the development of broadband; |
|
18. |
Stresses that broadband connection, given the spectacularly rapid development of the new media, offers the only technically reliable access to media products such as Internet TV and Internet telephony, and will thus prevent people in rural areas from being cut off from society in the cities where broadband is available; |
|
19. |
Recognises that some people have access only to low speed, low capacity broadband; believes that these connections should not be regarded as an adequate substitute for newer high speed connections; insists that no geographic area or socioeconomic group should be denied investment in new, faster technology simply because it already has access to a lower quality connection; |
|
20. |
Notes that new wireless platforms are well suited to ensuring broadband access in rural areas; underlines the importance of technology-neutrality in spectrum allocation; recalls that the Commission has envisaged a more active spectrum policy, which it supported in its resolution of 14 February 2007‘Towards a European policy on the radio spectrum’ (6); |
|
21. |
Calls on the Community institutions and Member States to cooperate more closely in the management of radio spectrum with a view to facilitating the use of spectrum by a wide range of wireless and mobile technologies (terrestrial and satellite); |
|
22. |
Urges the Member States to allocate sufficient spectrum to broadband technologies; |
The impact of content
|
23. |
Emphasises that digital literacy is an indispensable basis for the exploitation of the opportunities broadband offers and points to the responsibility in this regard of public education; emphasises also the need to improve access to ICTs for as many Union citizens as possible and to improve their ICT skills; |
|
24. |
Calls for consumer-oriented measures in the field of further education and the mobilisation of technical resources in the information technology sector; advocates financial and tax incentives for such measures; |
|
25. |
Takes the view that investment in e-health, e-government and e-learning applications can play an important role in driving consumer demand for broadband, and thus create the critical mass necessary for large markets to emerge in these areas; |
|
26. |
Believes that the promotion by public authorities in cooperation with business of broadbandenhanced applications and services can contribute to the efficient delivery of government services and, at the same time, provide incentives for the procurement of broadband access, which will help to stimulate supply; |
|
27. |
Highlights the scope for public authorities to exploit pre-commercial procurement to stimulate innovative service delivery across broadband networks; notes that they can also coordinate demand across communities and service providers to ensure the critical mass needed to underpin new network investments; encourages the Commission to promote awareness and use of these tools; |
|
28. |
Calls on the Commission and the Member States to give preference to broadband Internet solutions and technologies in the computerisation of government departments, the education sector and small and medium-size enterprises (such as application service providers and terminal servers); |
|
29. |
States that a core set of European e-services can serve to further integration and to strengthen cohesion as well as create a single electronic market via the use of broadband; calls for this area to be made a special priority for the use of structural and rural funds; furthermore, emphasises the role that such development funds play in supporting regions in this regard; |
|
30. |
Calls on the Community institutions and Member States to deliver on the 2003 Barcelona European Council objective of ensuring that Union citizens are offered relevant public broadband services; |
|
31. |
Believes that it is extremely important for people to be ensured the widest possible access to highquality content and services wherever they are using the technology of their choice and emphasises the need for access networks and for transmission networks open to different operators; |
|
32. |
Calls on the Community institutions and the Member States to promote the availability of content on line, notably by addressing its appropriate protection in a digital environment; |
The dynamics of the market
|
33. |
Asserts that the rapid deployment of broadband is crucial for the development of EU productivity and competitivity and for the emergence of new and small enterprises that can be leaders in different sectors, for example health care, manufacturing and financial services; |
|
34. |
Takes the view that private investment is essential for wider broadband deployment and universal coverage; stresses that private investors should be given the opportunity of refinancing their investments if the competitive dynamic is to be further stimulated and if better services and more innovation and choice are to be delivered to consumers; |
|
35. |
Stresses the importance of industry-driven, open, interoperable standards at technical, legal and semantic level so as to enable economies of scale, ensure non-discriminatory open access to the information society and promote the fast deployment of technologies; |
|
36. |
Urges the Community institutions and Member States to work with industry and address problems (such as micro-payments, security and trust, interoperability and digital rights management) that hamper the development of new business models in the field of broadband; |
An encouraging and clear framework
|
37. |
Emphasises that the role of the Community institutions and the Member States is to create a supportive environment for the development of innovation and for the introduction of new technologies by providing a regulatory framework that invites competition and private investment and to use relevant funds to drive demand for broadband services and, where justified, to support the necessary infrastructure; |
|
38. |
Notes that public authorities have an important role to play in stimulating broadband network rollout, and that they should consider measures to encourage demand, and investment in fixed infrastructure; calls for a clear framework for infrastructure investment that should not distort markets nor be operated on terms that are unfair to private enterprises; commends the Commission for having clarified the State aid rules on participation by public authorities in broadband development programmes; |
|
39. |
Emphasises that the main role of the Member States in promoting broadband is to create an environment in which there is legal certainty, which encourages competition and which stimulates investment and that, in order to achieve this, the Community regulatory framework for electronic communications must be effectively implemented; reiterates the importance of ensuring competitive market conditions and the need for all Member States to transpose and implement the regulatory framework for electronic communications and to ensure that they have effective, independent and properly resourced regulators; |
Competition rules and consumer protection
|
40. |
Highlights the key role played by the market in the expansion and development of innovative services; stresses, however, that it is imperative that national regulators, competition authorities and national and local governments simultaneously give priority to promoting more vigorous competition and investment in broadband markets as well as to applying remedies to address abuses of dominant positions and cartels, and finally to reducing barriers to entry, so that the market is able to deliver innovation; |
|
41. |
Notes the growing competition in the European broadband market; recalls that the sectoral regulation of the ICT industry was planned from the outset as a transitional solution for the opening up of the markets, and that it must in the medium term come to be governed by the general rules of competition alone; |
|
42. |
Emphasises that the forthcoming review of the regulatory framework must be aimed at ensuring open access and fair competition for all operators; |
|
43. |
Takes the view that, with a view to achieving more rapid broadband deployment in rural areas, no restrictions should be imposed on the joint use of networks on a voluntary basis by infrastructure managers; stresses that such agreements between infrastructure managers are an effective means of achieving wider broadband deployment in regions lacking the necessary broadband transmission infrastructures and where future demand would not sustain several networks; |
|
44. |
Emphasises the need to construct broadband infrastructure at local community level in accordance with the public-private partnership principle and taking account of equal access; |
|
45. |
Stresses that competition and effective and appropriate rules for opening up the broadband market provide the greatest stimulus for broadband deployment, meaning roll-out, speed and variety of services; |
|
46. |
Emphasises the need for technological neutrality combined with the avoidance of fragmentation and consideration of technological trends and user needs, something which will challenge European regulators to open up new solutions and yet create stable preconditions at the same time; |
|
47. |
Emphasises that the functional unbundling of the access networks of market incumbents from their operating activities may have positive advantages and could ensure the equal and fair treatment of all operators; |
|
48. |
Calls on the Commission, in its forthcoming green paper on universal service, to examine the availability of Internet services at reasonable and affordable rates to all citizens throughout the EU, including those on a low incomes and those living in rural and high-cost areas, and to consider whether there is a need to modify the existing universal service requirements; also expects the green paper to address consumer concerns regarding secure and safe broadband use; |
Public funding where needed
|
49. |
Stresses that public funding should only be used where the roll-out of broadband infrastructure is not economically viable for private undertakings and should not serve to duplicate existing infrastructure capable of providing broadband services; |
|
50. |
Emphasises that national and Community public funding should be competitively neutral and contribute to commercially sustainable investment; stresses that public procurement contracts should be awarded by open, transparent, competitive and non-discriminatory tendering; |
|
51. |
Stresses that publicly funded infrastructure should be provided on an equal access basis, and should not favour particular service providers; |
|
52. |
Takes the view that, in addition to market forces, Member States and in particular their regions and municipalities, could set incentives to stimulate the broadband market in disadvantaged regions; emphasises the role that structural and rural development funds should play in supporting regions strengthening the demand side of the information society; |
|
53. |
States that publicly funded investment in broadband infrastructure must be possible within the framework of Community competition rules; |
|
54. |
Urges the Commission to ensure that equal access to broadband networks financed with support from the structural and rural funds is given to all service providers; believes furthermore that, in order to ensure compliance with the requirements, national regulatory authorities should be granted the power to impose openness requirements in regulations and be given a mandate to enforce those requirements; |
|
55. |
Emphasises the importance of combining regional development with a European broadband policy, including the use of regional and rural funds, for the development of mobile broadband solutions or the setting up of the necessary infrastructure; |
|
56. |
Calls on the Commission to further develop and review guidelines on how to use structural and rural funds to promote broadband deployment and uptake and, in particular, to provide more precise guidance regarding the utilisation of structural funds for the deployment of broadband services where a partial supply of such services already exists; |
|
57. |
Calls on the Commission to provide guidance and disseminate good practice on the observance of State aid rules regarding public financial support given to broadband projects; |
|
58. |
Calls on the Commission to allow Community funds also to be used for upgrading or replacing broadband networks which do not provide connections with suitable functional capacity; |
|
59. |
Urges the Commission to provide adequate information and statistics and to assess the impact of structural and rural funding on broadband deployment in assisted regions and promote the exchange of best practices between the regions of the EU; |
|
60. |
Encourages the Commission to closely examine whether the regulatory framework is fully implemented and whether the rules on State aid are applied whenever structural and rural funds are to be used for broadband investments and to ensure that Community funding is used to improve the penetration rate of ICTs throughout the Union, without favouring specific players or technological options, but only the most efficient solutions; notes further that such use of Community funds should be permitted only in underserved areas and where it is clear that there are no other sources of investment in broadband infrastructure; stresses that all decisions should be transparent and published on national and European websites linked to the competition authorities; |
|
61. |
Considers that public intervention in the forms of loans and grants, often implemented through public-private partnerships, should be further developed in under-served areas; |
|
62. |
Once again insists that public support to broadband infrastructure must adhere to the principle of ‘technology neutrality’, not favouring a priori any particular technology, nor limiting the technological choices of the regions while at the same time preventing fragmentation of the technical infrastructure, taking into account development trends and the future needs of users and promoting the construction of higher-capacity broadband connections; |

General remarks
|
1. |
Recalls the common membership of Russia and the EU Member States in the Council of Europe; supports the development of political pluralism in Russia and considers that the human rights situation in Russia should be an integral part of the EU-Russia political agenda; |
|
2. |
Stresses that EU-Russia relations are at a critical stage; therefore, calls for constructive and results-oriented engagement between both Russia and EU, but not at any cost; points out that the European Union shares with Russia not only economic and trade interests and a commitment to democracy, human rights and the rule of law, but also an objective to act in the international arena and in the common neighbourhood; regrets, however, that the EU and Russia have not succeeded in overcoming the lack of trust between them; |
|
3. |
Considers that the common membership of Russia and the EU Member States in the Council of Europe underpins their shared values and their commitment to its aims, as laid down in its statute and conventions: to extend and protect human rights, promote democracy and uphold the rule of law in the whole of Europe; encourages both the Member States and Russia to actively participate in the Council of Europe as it is a platform for the practical realisation of those aims; notes the high number of cases brought against Russia before the European Court of Human Rights; emphasises the latter's role in enforcing the obligations of the Council of Europe's Member States; |
|
4. |
Notes that the Russian Federation has created a generally positive macroeconomic environment which has contributed to impressive economic growth following the crisis in 1998; recalls that this growth can be mainly attributed to the high rise in world energy prices; |
|
5. |
Acknowledges the economic and other related political reforms, namely in the tax system, the system of fiscal federalism, public administration and regulation of the financial system that have been implemented in Russia during recent years; is nonetheless convinced that further structural reforms, namely in health care, education, the gas sector, the banking system and more generally in the area of the enforcement of the rule of law, are necessary, and calls on the Russian Federation to pursue its reforms, which will be beneficial both to Russians and to Europeans alike and will make it possible to enhance the Russian Federation's attractiveness in the eyes of international and, in particular, European investors, thus having a considerable impact on economic growth while at the same time allowing the Russian Federation to benefit from foreign know-how; stresses that any further legislative reform must be carried out in accordance with international standards; |
|
6. |
Is of the opinion that efficient and extensive economic cooperation between Russia and the EU must be based on high standards of democracy and free market principles, and calls on Russia to continue with market reforms, to refrain from politicising the economy and to respect the independence of public and private institutions; |
|
7. |
Reiterates the importance of the sound and effective application of laws and rules; is concerned about the lack of predictability in the application of rules by authorities, including the courts, and the failure to enforce rulings; calls on the Russian authorities to take all the necessary measures to remedy this situation; |
|
8. |
Calls on Russia to combat corruption more actively, and to focus particularly on combating the underlying causes of this phenomenon; |
|
9. |
Is convinced that, where appropriate, harmonised and compatible standards, regulations and conformity assessment procedures should be developed; |
|
10. |
Encourages the Russian Federation to ensure that the International Labour Organisation's conventions are complied with and to take all the measures necessary to combat social dumping effectively; encourages the Russian Federation to do the same as regards compliance with the Kyoto Protocol in order to combat all kinds of environmental dumping; |
|
11. |
Welcomes the agreement signed in Sochi, during the EU-Russia summit, on 25 May 2006, simplifying the procurement of visas for Russian and EU nationals and increasing the flexibility of the multiple entry procedures for certain professionals, such as business people, thus helping to facilitate contacts and improve commercial relations; |
|
12. |
Stresses that increased economic contacts will necessitate more ambitious visa facilitation also covering ordinary bona fide travellers not belonging to any pre-set categories, and liberalisation in the long term; |
Regulatory framework — framework for cooperation
|
13. |
Emphasises the importance, also to the EU, of Russia's accession to the WTO and its implications for trade liberalisation as well as for its commitment to adhere to its rules, and is convinced that WTO membership will send an important signal to foreign and Russian investors, drive economic growth in Russia and enhance trade exchanges with the EU; urges the Russian Federation to not only work towards concluding the outstanding WTO bilateral Market Access Agreements, but also to fulfil and implement its commitments pursuant to the agreements it has already signed, such as the agreement with the EC; |
|
14. |
Calls on the Russian Federation, in the context of its forthcoming accession to the WTO, to resolve the problem of tariffs on timber exports to the Scandinavian countries, remove the current disparity between Russia's domestic tariffs and world market prices, and also to settle the issues relating to rail fares fixed according to destination, particularly those to the Baltic countries, which have been ruled to be discriminatory; |
|
15. |
Believes that WTO accession should lead to deeper economic integration between the EU and Russia, within the framework of the CES; calls on the Commission to consider the negotiation of a possible Free Trade Agreement (FTA) following Russia's accession to the WTO; |
|
16. |
Stresses the need for constructive dialogue between the EU and Russia and reiterates the importance of setting up the CES and further developing the objectives agreed upon in the Road Map for the CES, especially as regards the creation of an open and integrated market between the EU and Russia; |
|
17. |
Believes that progress on implementing the Road Map should continue alongside negotiations on the new PCA; urges the Commission and the Member States to concentrate their efforts on starting negotiations on the new PCA; requests that it be promptly and formally informed of any progress made in this regard; |
|
18. |
Believes that the EU should, if the negotiations with Russia on a new PCA fail to produce tangible results, consider an alternative approach based on reinvigorating the ongoing work on the agreed roadmaps in the four common spaces, and on elaborating a joint approach for political cooperation; |
|
19. |
Emphasises that progress in the common space of freedom, security and justice, the space of cooperation in the field of external security and the space of education, research and technological development, including inter-cultural dialogue and cooperation, would have a significant socio-economic impact and reduce the risk of interstate conflict; stresses the need for the Russian government to increase its efforts in that field; |
|
20. |
Stresses the need for the Russian Federation to perfect its policy as regards the protection of foreign investment in accordance with internationally recognised OECD standards, which would permit the European Union to conduct negotiations on the conclusion of agreements on the protection and promotion of investment; |
Trade, market access and investment
|
21. |
Stresses the importance of improving the investment climate in Russia; believes that this can only be achieved by promoting and facilitating non-discriminatory, transparent and predictable business conditions rooted in strong democratic values; in addition, stresses that debureaucratisation and the promotion of two-way investments are needed; |
|
22. |
Takes note of the bill recently introduced in the Russian Federation, which allows the government to reject foreign bids for majority stakes in Russian companies, thus prohibiting foreign ownership of more than 49 % in companies active in 39 strategic industries; questions the bill itself as well as the choice and the growing number of industries that have been classified as strategic and essential to national security; considers that this does not represent a move towards improving the investment climate and that this raises fundamental questions regarding the role of the State in a market economy and competition in key sectors of the economy; |
|
23. |
Stresses that the establishment and operation of companies should be facilitated on a reciprocal basis; notes that the EU is open to investment from Russia, as is indicated by the rise in Russian businesses present in the EU, notably in the energy and steel sectors; calls, therefore, for foreign companies operating in the natural resource sectors in Russia to be granted the same degree of access; |
|
24. |
Notes that, in Russia, state trading continues to be successful in certain areas of the economy; |
|
25. |
Takes note of the introduction of so-called Special Economic Zones, which offer special incentives for investment, including in production capacities, a development which could prove advantageous for European businesses; encourages the Russian Federation to guarantee decent working conditions and respect for the trade union rights of workers in these zones; calls for strict observance and independent monitoring of human rights, and social and environmental standards in those Special Economic Zones; |
|
26. |
Acknowledges the progress that has been made regarding the levying of customs duties; urges the Russian Government to further streamline, standardise and automate its customs procedures and to levy customs duties in a predictable and non-arbitrary manner and without delaying the movement of goods; |
|
27. |
Stresses that Russia's accession to the WTO must not result in higher levels of import duties and stronger protectionism compared to the years preceding accession; |
|
28. |
Notes that the Commission has applied anti-dumping measures in relation to Russian exports of ammonium nitrate, potassium chloride, a number of steel products, silicon and urea products; urges Russian companies to export to the EU under fair trade conditions and to provide Community investigators examining cases of dumping with the necessary information in order to allow EU enforcement authorities to quickly terminate anti-dumping measures that have been applied; |
|
29. |
Takes note of Russian anti-dumping duties imposed on exports from the EU, especially on steel products; considers that those conflicts should be settled as a matter of priority; |
|
30. |
Notes, with regret, that Russia is exploiting commercial policy instruments for foreign policy ends in a manner incompatible with WTO rules; |
|
31. |
Draws attention to the unjustified ban on meat imports from Poland, which has now been in place for two years, and recommends that this problem, the existence of which is incompatible with WTO rules, be resolved as soon as possible; |
Intellectual property rights
|
32. |
Stresses the need for improvements in legislation and law enforcement to be made as regards the protection of intellectual, industrial and commercial property rights, in order to increase competitiveness and make the investment climate more attractive by approximating regulatory systems with the highest international standards and norms; urges the Russian authorities, ahead of its forthcoming membership of the WTO, to align Part IV of its Civil Code on Intellectual Property Rights with WTO rules and international agreements, particularly the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights Agreement (TRIPS), and to ensure full implementation, so that counterfeiting and piracy can be effectively combated; |
|
33. |
Emphasises the need to adapt the current court system in order to effectively protect IPRs and ensure more speedy prosecutions; notes the rise in cases in which European businesses have been successful, but is deeply concerned about the lack of enforcement of rulings; |
|
34. |
Is deeply concerned about the problem relating specifically to the production and sale of counterfeit products, in particular pharmaceutical products, as this not only undermines legitimate producers, but also presents a danger to public health; |
|
35. |
Encourages the Russian authorities to take all necessary and effective measures to uncover the sources of illegal activity and to render production plants or Internet-based operators inoperable; notes that, as regards production plants, those measures should include repeated and unannounced inspections of known plants with the cooperation of rights holders, and strengthening the licensing regime as regards optical media plants; stresses that, for Internet-based operators, those measures should cover the enactment of legislative amendments which provide that collecting societies may only act on behalf of rights holders that explicitly authorise such action and the enactment of provisions to implement the Copyright Treaty (WCT) and the Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT) adopted by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in 1996; |
Energy
|
36. |
Reiterates the need for a coherent European energy policy; stresses that bilateral agreements between EU Member States and Russia should, if absolutely necessary, help in the pursuit of the EU's overall energy security interests and in the pursuit of a common energy policy between the EU and Russia; |
|
37. |
Emphasises, however, that the primary objective of EU energy policy cannot simply be to avoid continued energy dependence on Russia; |
|
38. |
Urges both the EU and Russia to cooperate more closely with one another and with all the social partners within the framework of the EU-Russia energy dialogue, with particular emphasis being placed on addressing issues relating to the sustainability and continued reliability of the production, transportation and use of energy, energy efficiency and security of supply; urges the EU, in close cooperation with the Russian Federation, to promote investment in renewables and to encourage the sharing of technology and regulatory convergence with a view to establishing a sustainable relationship benefiting both parties; also calls on the Russian Federation to offer fair and non-discriminatory treatment to all its partners, to facilitate access to the Russian market by European investors and to give due consideration to environmental protection; |
|
39. |
Supports the German Presidency in its aim to ensure a secure supply of energy and reduce energy dependency by means of cooperation and further dialogue on energy with Russia, thus putting the energy partnership policy on a solid and reliable footing, as well as by aiming to diversify sources of energy by introducing binding targets for energy efficiency and for the use of renewable and alternative energies; notes that the development of such a strategy is of common interest to the EU and Russia and that it is hazardous for the EU to become too dependent on natural gas; |
|
40. |
Welcomes the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol by the Russian Federation in October 2004; calls on the EU and the Russian Federation to cooperate closely with a view to promoting technical innovation and improving efficiency in the energy sector, and to consider jointly future strategies to achieve reductions in greenhouse gas emissions for the period following the expiry of the Protocol in 2012; |
|
41. |
Welcomes the signing of an agreement between Russia, Greece, and Bulgaria on the construction of the Burgas-Alexandroupoli oil pipeline; notes, however, that, as well as this single project, there are others which have already been approved or are being discussed; remains aware that pursuing a coherent European energy policy will be even more vital in the future; |
|
42. |
Is convinced that, in addition to the need for Russia to ratify the Energy Charter Treaty, the EU should consider negotiating a formal framework document on energy relations with Russia in the context of the new PCA; suggests that elements of the Energy Charter Treaty should be transposed in a new document, as the current situation, characterised by a lack of formal agreement, is unacceptable; |
|
43. |
Supports programmes to improve the energy infrastructures that connect Russia with EU Member States; |
|
44. |
Expresses its concern over the nationalistic and monopolistic trends in the management of Russian energy resources; is deeply concerned about the difficulties that foreign and private companies face when investing in future developments on Russia's continental shelf; calls on Russia to adopt a more liberal approach and to create a level playing field, enabling foreign companies to compete with Russian firms, in accordance with the WTO rules; calls on Russia to swiftly incorporate best international practice on transparency and public accountability into national legislation; |
|
45. |
Acknowledges that a significant amount of money is being invested in the maintenance of downstream distribution infrastructure and pipelines; emphasises, nonetheless, that, according to experts, a lack of investment, including foreign investment, may lead to a shortage of gas by as early as 2010; |
|
46. |
Reiterates Parliament's call on the Commission and the Member States to take seriously the danger of a deficit in gas supplies from Russia after 2010 due to a lack of investment in Russia's energy infrastructure; supports the energy dialogue between the EU and Russia as a platform for addressing the issue pertaining to the investment needed in Russian and European energy infrastructure, in order to ensure both security of supply and security of demand; emphasises the need to establish effective and timely crisis-communication mechanisms between the EU and Russia; emphasises the crucial importance of coherence, close coordination and solidarity between EU Member States in the energy dialogue; stresses the need for the EU to pursue a parallel strategy of enhancing security and diversification of its energy supplies and the importance of EURussia cooperation with regard to environmental protection, energy efficiency, energy saving and renewable energy; |
|
47. |
Calls on Russia not to apply a dual pricing system, which is in any case contrary to WTO rules, with regard to energy sources; |
|
48. |
Calls on the Russian Federation, in close cooperation with the EU, to invest in the modernisation of its nuclear power plants, particularly in infrastructure, new technology and renewable energy sources, reflecting the pursuit of the common objectives of security, energy efficiency, environmental protection and public health; |
|
49. |
Reiterates its support for the opening of the EU market to Russian electricity exports, on condition that relevant Russian safety standards, in particular in relation to nuclear power plants and the safe processing and disposal of nuclear waste, are brought up to EU level, so that the risk of environmental dumping is averted; |
Transport
|
50. |
Takes note of the recommendations made by the High Level Group on the Extension of the Major Trans-European Transport Axes to the Neighbouring Countries and Regions; supports, in particular, the development of transport infrastructure between the EU and Russia, i.e. the harmonisation of conditions for railway transport; |
|
51. |
Welcomes the agreement signed on 24 November 2006 between the EU and the Russian Federation, during the EU-Russia summit in Helsinki, on the situation pertaining to Siberian overflight payments; considers that this agreement will make it possible to normalise and enhance relations in the field of air transport between the EU and the Russian Federation and will significantly improve the competitiveness of European airlines and facilitate their operations in Asia's emergent markets; |
Other specific sectors
|
52. |
Considers trade in services as an essential part of future EU-Russia trade relations; calls for EU and Russian laws to be converged, especially in areas such as financial services, telecommunications and transport, while respecting the specific provisions governing public services; and calls for an end to the Baltic States' current discriminatory rail charges on imports and exports; |
|
53. |
Stresses the importance of ensuring stability in the financial system, supporting the consolidation of a sound financial sector and an effective system for protecting customers of financial services through an improvement of the legislation, effective supervision and the implementation of measures that conform to the highest standards and norms applicable to financial services suppliers; |
|
54. |
Considers that those reforms will favour the investment climate and can play a major role in enabling continued economic growth in Russia in a way that is less dependent on energy exports and the price of energy; |
|
55. |
Stresses the importance of competition and openness in the financial services industry; expresses, in this respect, its concern with regard to existing obstacles to the licensing of foreign bank branches; |
|
56. |
Believes that cooperation in the promotion of regulatory convergence in the agricultural sector, notably with regard to sanitary and phytosanitary measures, should be intensified; stresses the importance, for many Member States, of exports of agricultural products to Russia, i.e. fish, meat and dairy products; expresses concern, therefore, at the recent restrictive measures adopted by Russia in this field and urges the EU to back the Member States affected by those measures and to find a common solution to problems with exports to the Russian market, specifically relating to sanitary and phytosanitary measures; |
|
57. |
Calls on Russia not to impose restrictive animal or plant-health measures on imported products which are discriminatory or based on a higher level of requirement than those applicable to domestic products; |
Relations with other trade partners
|
58. |
Stresses that the development of the strategic economic partnership between the EU and Russia should take into account Russia's geopolitical position; emphasises the need to integrate the EU's approach to Russia with other efforts in the region, such as the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP), the Northern Dimension and the Black Sea Strategy; |
|
59. |
Welcomes the ‘Black Sea Synergy’ initiative in the context of the ENP, which facilitates regional cooperation between the Black Sea region countries concerned, the Russian Federation and the EU in sectors such as energy, transport and the environment, and enhances the dialogue on respect for human rights, democracy and good governance; |
|
60. |
Also recognises the potentially positive contribution that could be made by reinforcing the wider inter-regional cooperation between the EU and the Organisation of the BSEC in the context of the new ‘Black Sea Synergy’ approach; |
|
61. |
Emphasises the importance of increasing EU-Russia regional cooperation within the framework of the Northern Dimension, in which the EU and Russia, along with Iceland and Norway, are equal partners; stresses the need to set up concrete partnership projects in order to support and reinforce existing cooperation projects and multilateral partnerships, especially as regards Baltic Sea cooperation, in line with the Baltic Sea Strategy for the Northern Dimension, endorsed by Parliament in its above mentioned resolution of 16 November 2006; stresses the importance of further economic and social evelopment in the Kaliningrad region as a model for enhanced economic and trade cooperation between the EU and Russia; |
|
62. |
Stresses the benefits that closer EU-Russian relations in the tourism sector would entail, as many regions of the Member States are considered traditional destinations for Russian visitors; |
|
63. |
Draws attention to the urgent need to solve the problems involved in improving the infrastructure for crossing the border between Latvia and Russia (and also between other EU-Russia border states), making use of the resources of the EU and the Russian Federation in order to open both existing border crossing points and new ones; stresses that it is also important to develop border infrastructure in the transit countries, such as the Ukraine, in order to facilitate and speed up cooperation between EU and Russia; |
|
64. |
Believes that both partners have a common interest in a stable, secure and democratic neighbourhood, and encourages the development of good neighbourly relations in the field of trade and economic cooperation among the countries of the region; stresses that the joint upholding of human rights and implementation of the ENP offer a number of possibilities for multilateral cooperation, not least through the enhanced Neighbourhood Policy toward the East, in order to foster constructive cooperation in the areas of the environment, energy, infrastructure and trade; |
|
65. |
Believes that the existence of frozen conflicts in the common neighbourhood represents a significant impediment to economic development in this region, and that supporting their settlement, in line with the principles of international law, including through addressing the economic consequences, should constitute a priority for the purposes of further promoting economic development and prosperity in the countries of the common neighbourhood; |

having regard to Rule 45 of its Rules of Procedure, |

— |
having regard to the report of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (A6-0176/2007), |
|
1. |
Welcomes the Commission's action to modernise competition policy and, in particular, its reinforced stance on combating cartels, its renewed targeting of unauthorised State aid and its sector inquiries; congratulates the Commission on the steps it has taken in improving the functioning of the European Competition Network (ECN); congratulates the Commission on its achievements in the area of multilateral and bilateral cooperation and calls for further progress in its activities towards the international convergence of competition policy; |
|
2. |
Welcomes the preference attributed by the Commission to an economic rather than rules-based approach to competition policy enforcement; welcomes the Commission's approach in its sector inquiries, which is closer to the realities of business practices, particularly as regards the financial services and energy sectors; further stresses that those inquiries should shed light on the current sector situation and trends in the targeted sectors and should stimulate a forward-focused policy; |
|
3. |
Welcomes the Commission's efforts to improve the quality of enforcement of decisions in the context of the ECN through increased cooperation with and among national competition authorities (NCAs); |
|
4. |
Renews the call, as regards cooperation with and enforcement by NCAs, for further progress in the reduction of uncertainty caused by diverging interpretations of Community competition law by national courts, as well as discrepancies in the speed, content and enforcement of final decisions; calls on the Commission to consider the creation of a network of judicial authorities, comparable to the ECN; |
|
5. |
Renews the call in relation to services of general economic interest (SGEIs) given the considerable differences in policies prevailing across the Member States, for further progress in relation to both the clarification of the existing competition rules and their practical application; |
|
6. |
Welcomes the increase in the adoption of procedures within the ECN Model Leniency Programme; stresses, however, that further refinement of that instrument is required in order to avoid its possible misuse, in particular by unfairly disadvantaging the weaker participants in the collusion; |
|
7. |
Recalls, in this light, the need to coordinate the dual instruments of damages actions and leniency procedures, in order to ensure that adequate incentives for proper behaviour are in place; |
|
8. |
Expresses concern about the excessive delay in the processes of recovery of unauthorised State aid granted by several Member States; stresses that the inadequate enforcement of rules in this area may seriously harm fair competition; |
|
9. |
Welcomes the adoption of Community competition rules by the most recently acceded Member States and recommends the continued refinement of the quality of the implementation of those rules; |
|
10. |
Notes the key role that adequate competition policy can play towards achieving the Lisbon Strategy goals; recalls that the role of competition policy can be enhanced if it is adequately coupled with a cohesion policy; |
|
11. |
Calls on the Commission to consider carefully how tax competition among the Member States is affected by certain taxation practices, especially in relation to companies; |
|
12. |
Takes the view that certain the taxation practices applied by some of the Swiss cantons could have the effect of distorting competition, and calls on the Member States and the Commission to continue their dialogue with the Swiss Confederation on these issues with a view to Swiss participation in the Code of Conduct for Business Taxation annexed to the Council conclusions of the Ecofin Council Meeting on 1 December 1997 concerning the taxation policy (14); |
|
13. |
Supports the Commission's efforts to introduce a Community-wide common consolidated corporate tax base (CCCTB), since this will make for easier comparison, and draws attention to the views endorsed in its resolution of 13 December 2005 on taxation of undertakings in the European Union: a common consolidated corporate tax base (15); |
|
14. |
Reaffirms the need for an increased role of Parliament, including the promotion of co-decision powers, in the formulation of competition law; |
|
15. |
Recalls the need to promote adequate capacity-building at Community level in order to meet the ambitious Lisbon Strategy goals and cope with the possible high levels of staff in businesses and NCAs; |
|
16 |
Welcomes the efforts to strengthen the ECN's role in the field of competition enforcement through the harmonisation of practices and interpretation of norms, as well as the delegation of competences and the exchange of experiences among NCAs; |
|
17. |
Expresses its concern at the relative failure to date to achieve genuine competition in the energy markets; notes that in many Member States ownership unbundling has proven insufficient to ensure adequate competition, as very high market shares of incumbent operators are associated with insufficient market access and market foreclosure; |
|
18. |
Strongly believes that the introduction of a level playing field that enables new market entry and facilitates the introduction of new environmentally friendly technologies must be a priority; congratulates the Commission, in this respect, for making full use of its powers under the competition, merger and State aid rules, in order to enhance the efficiency of the energy market; welcomes the fact that in parallel to the enforcement of individual cases, the energy sector inquiry has played an important role in the Commission's work on identifying necessary regulatory changes in particular issues such as achieving adequate unbundling of network and supply activities, removing regulatory gaps in particular regarding cross-border issues, addressing market concentration and barriers to entry, and increasing transparency in market operations; |
|
19. |
Underlines that the completion of ownership unbundling in the energy sector, alongside the dismantling of vertical conglomerates and guaranteeing conditions for effective market access should be given stronger priority; |
|
20. |
Welcomes the overall objective of the energy inquiry which is to address the barriers currently impeding the development of an Community-wide energy market by 1 July 2007; shares the views of the Commission that the powers of NCAs need to be strengthened and that coordination must be enhanced at Community level, particularly as regards to cross-border issues; calls on the Commission to pursue enforcement action including fines against companies which breach competition rules; encourages the Commission to proceed against Member States which unduly protect national energy companies; |
|
21. |
Calls on the Commission to examine the respective competition situations of rating agencies, auditing firms, and large investment banks; |
|
22. |
Stresses that competition law must be applied to all players on the European market, whether or not they have their headquarters in the European Union; considers it to be important for the Commission to act with equal firmness and consistency in regard to both third-country and EU undertakings; |
|
23. |
Welcomes the initiative taken by the Commission to commission a study to identify whether the rise in prices for energy is mainly due to the rise of fuel prices and the impact of the Emission Trading Scheme, or to the anti-competitive behaviour of market players; |
|
24. |
Recalls the Commission's commitment to review the ‘two-thirds rule’ as a threshold for finding a Community impact in regard to merger proposals; suggests that progress in this area and a more consistent approach in the evaluation of comparable merger operations would be welcome whenever decisions taken at national level could have a strong impact on the market structure of neighbouring Member States; |
|
25. |
Welcomes the Commission's aim to support the inter-connectivity of infrastructure networks; calls for special attention to be paid to the specific features of peripheral markets; |
|
26. |
Welcomes the Commission's Damages Green Paper and underlines that the right of victims who have suffered losses as a result of anti-competitive behaviour to obtain compensation must be effective; |
|
27. |
Applauds the Commission's efforts to strengthen the instruments for tackling cartels, in particular, the revision of its leniency procedures and its new guidelines on the method of setting fines, which focus on long-standing agreements in large markets; |
|
28. |
Believes that the application of the Community and national merger control rules would benefit highly from cooperation among NCAs towards the implementation of a common database registering all the individual cases examined, in the context of a specific network for information exchange; |
|
29. |
Welcomes the Merger Remedies Study, which examines the impact of proposed remedy measures during the period 1996 to 2000; considers that such ex-post examinations provide crucial policy insights, and, consequently, should be extended to other areas of competition policy enforcement; |
|
30. |
Notes that according to the Merger Remedies Study, the effectiveness of structural remedies is often undermined by the uncompetitive behaviour of the firms and public authorities, in particular, by the limitation of market access; consequently calls on the Commission to increase its vigilance as regards that possible loophole in merger remedy enforcement; |
|
31. |
Notes that State aid policy is an integral part of competition policy and that State aid control reflects the need to maintain a level playing field for all undertakings carrying out activities in the internal market; welcomes, in this respect, the Commission's efforts to increase the transparency and public accountability of the existing mechanisms of State aid; welcomes further efforts to improve transparency in this context; stresses, furthermore, the need for clear criteria for measuring State aid levels; |
|
32. |
Reiterates its earlier call for follow-up and open reporting on the development of State aid, with comparisons between the Member States, with a view to achieving the desired objective of reducing such aid; |
|
33. |
Recalls the need to avoid competition and duplication among Member States' State aid schemes, as well as any distortions that different national technical and financial capacities to support State aid may introduce in the internal market; suggests that further efforts by the Commission to harmonise national practices and promote the exchange of information and best practices are of the utmost relevance; |
|
34. |
Recalls the principle of compatibility between State aid and Community cohesion policy; calls on the Commission, in view of the Community's objectives and cohesion policies, to ensure that State aid does not result in distorted competition by provoking the relocation of companies from one Member State to another, which may lead to subsidy-shopping by businesses without any added value for the common goals of the Community and, in particular, to the loss of jobs in one region for the benefit of another; recalls that regional aid approved outside authorised regional aid schemes intrinsically involves higher risks of distortion to competition; |
|
35. |
Welcomes the increased sensitivity of the Commission in relation to Lisbon Strategy issues in the context of State aid management and its concerns regarding the ‘catching-up’ of less developed regions in the European Union in this area; |
|
36. |
Considers that Community State aid policy, particularly regarding sectors that operate in the globalised market, must focus on aid practices by third-country governments in relation to competitors; suggests, however, that a balance should be achieved by giving preference to efforts regarding cooperation and mutual recognition, rather than through subsidy competition; |
|
37. |
Recalls the need to guarantee that compliance with Community targets on climate control, combined with environmental State aid, across different countries and sectors, are compatible with competition objectives; calls on the Commission to address this issue in the forthcoming review of the environmental aid block exemption; |
|
38. |
Welcomes the progress made in the context of bilateral cooperation with the European Union's main partners, namely, the United States, Canada, Japan and Korea, including dialogue on issues of common concern such as merger remedies and cartel investigations; considers such cooperation to be of crucial importance to achieving the consistent enforcement of decisions in cases with a shared impact; |
|
39. |
Welcomes the Commission's cooperation with Chinese authorities in regard to the establishment of a competition authority in China; urges the Commission to continue its efforts towards instituting an effective competition culture in China; |
|
40. |
Stresses that the Commission's analyses of the competition situation in various sectors as regards the acquisition of undertakings should be carried out in the light of the internal market as a whole and not principally with regard to the situation on local or national markets; |
|
41. |
Stresses that the Commission's new trade agenda, in the context of which free trade agreements will be negotiated with selected partners, requires the close involvement of the Commissioner for Competition so that the main competition issues are appropriately dealt with in the context of such agreements; |
|
42. |
Calls upon the Council and the Commission to improve and better focus their joint efforts in the organisation of the Competition Day initiative to highlight to European consumers and citizens the crucial importance of Community competition policy in delivering economic growth and jobs throughout the European Union; |
|
43. |
Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and the Commission. |

having regard to Decision No 1672/2006/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 24 October 2006 establishing a Community programme for Employment and Social Solidarity — Progress (2), |
|
— |
having regard to the Commission Communication of 1 March 2006 entitled ‘A Roadmap for equality between women and men (2006-2010)’ (COM(2006)0092), |
|
— |
having regard to the Commission Communication (Green Paper) of 16 March 2005 entitled ‘Confronting demographic change: a new solidarity between the generations’ (COM(2005)0094), |

having regard to the Commission Communication of 12 October 2006 entitled ‘The demographic future of Europe — from challenge to opportunity’ (COM(2006)0571), |

having regard to the Commission Communication of 12 October 2006 entitled ‘First-stage consultation of European social partners on the reconciliation of professional, private and family life’ (SEC(2006)1245), |
|
— |
having regard to Council Recommendation 92/241/EEC of 31 March 1992 on child care (3), which states that child care services should be made available to parents who are following a course of education or training with a view to entering the job market, |
|
— |
having regard to its resolution of 9 March 2004 on reconciling professional, family and private lives (4), its resolution of 9 March 2005 on the mid-term review of the Lisbon Strategy (5), its resolution of 16 January 2006 on the future of the Lisbon Strategy from the point of view of the gender perspective (6) and its resolution of 1 February 2007 on discrimination against young women and girls in the field of education (7), |
|
— |
having regard to Rule 45 of its Rules of Procedure, |
|
— |
having regard to the report of the Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality (A6-0209/2007), |
|
A. |
whereas education and the family fall within national competence and responsibility, |
|
B. |
whereas education is a fundamental right for all and an essential precondition for an individual's personal development and participation in economic and social life, |
|
C. |
whereas the education system should include both the removal of the obstacles which make genuine equality between men and women difficult to achieve and the promotion of full equality between the sexes, |
|
D. |
whereas access to education, lifelong learning and high-quality training are essential if young men and women are to provide the skills that Europe needs, both with regard to boosting employment and growth and to solidarity between the generations and population renewal, |
|
E. |
whereas a better balance between family life and student life at all levels could enable young people, particularly young women, to develop their potential more fully and thus contribute to the ‘knowledge society’, economic competitiveness, social cohesion and the renewal of European society, all of these being aims set out in the revised Lisbon Strategy, |
|
F. |
whereas the future of Europe depends on its ability to foster societies that welcome young men and women; whereas, in this context, satisfying the desire for parenthood or for caring for dependent adults or the disabled should not conflict with education or career choices or constitute a barrier to staying in or returning to education or pursuing a career, |
|
G. |
whereas higher education and training is a fundamental precondition for genuine access to the labour market and a means of guarding against poverty, which affects women in particular, and of aligning male and female pay, |
|
H. |
whereas access to higher education for girls and young women from national minorities or for girls and young women from immigrant groups is particularly limited and/or often characterised by discrimination and segregation in schools, |
|
I. |
whereas a longer time spent in education (8), a lack of incentives to become fully independent and more difficult access to employment can lead young people to postpone the decision to start a family, |
|
J. |
whereas the opportunities provided by lifelong learning and longer periods spent in education are increasing the average age of men and women in education and training (9), |
|
K. |
whereas increased life expectancy has an impact on relations between generations and within the family by increasing the number of dependent people, |
|
L. |
whereas the abovementioned Commission's Communication of 12 October 2006 on the reconciliation of professional, private and family life recognises that policies in this area should also concern young men and women who are still in higher education, |
|
M. |
whereas financial difficulties and discrimination of various kinds often make it difficult to gain access to, or continue in, education or training; whereas these difficulties are particularly acute for young men and women who have family responsibilities, and possibly also work responsibilities (10), in addition to their studies or training, |
|
N. |
whereas, even if it is not for the Member States to influence individual choices as to whether or not to assume family responsibilities, they should create a favourable social and economic environment for young parents and young people who have responsibility for dependent adults or for persons with disabilities, in view of the demographic challenges facing the EU, |
|
O. |
whereas the fact that people are starting a family and having children later in life affects the demographic situation in every Member State, |
|
P. |
whereas statistics show that Europeans do not have the number of children that they would like (11), |
|
Q. |
whereas women, who are often the primary carers for dependants (12), are more likely than men not to continue in education, not to complete their studies or never to return to education, which inevitably leads to lifelong de facto discrimination in gaining access to, and continuing in, education and training and to inequality between men and women in their working lives, |
|
R. |
whereas in most countries, where people have a job at the same time as pursuing a course of study, either they are ineligible for social assistance or the amount of assistance for which they are eligible is reduced, and whereas the status of student, particularly where the student has dependants, makes it considerably more complicated to obtain bank loans or credit, |
|
S. |
whereas an increasing number of people now live in alternative family units which do not fit the traditional image of the nuclear family consisting of a mother, a father and their joint biological children, |
|
T. |
whereas family responsibilities imply specific needs in a number of areas, particularly with regard to housing, childcare services, care for dependants and flexibility in the course of study, |
|
U. |
whereas the treatment of students with family responsibilities varies between countries and between higher education and vocational training establishments, which may constitute an obstacle to student mobility and thus to their achieving their desired education and career; whereas there is inequality in the way education systems take account of student needs and in the criteria for allocating student grants, |
|
V. |
whereas there are very few statistics and indicators available at Member State and EU level which illustrate the living conditions of young people with family responsibilities who are in education or training, |
|
1. |
Points out that education and training is a human right for girls and women and an essential precondition of the full enjoyment of all other social, economic, cultural and political rights; |
|
2. |
Points out that the recommendations that follow concern young people who are following a course of study or training and who have, or would like to have, family responsibilities either as parents or as carers for dependent adults or persons with disabilities; |
|
3. |
Points out that, according to the conclusions of the abovementioned Green Paper on demography, the European demographic deficit is due in part to the various stages of life (education, work, family) currently being reached later than previously; |
|
4. |
Welcomes the Commission's recognition, expressed in the abovementioned Communication of 12 October 2006 on the reconciliation of professional, private and family life, of the fact that policies aimed at achieving a better balance should also be addressed to young women and men who are still in higher education, but regrets the lack of specific proposals in this regard; |
|
5. |
Encourages the Commission and the Member States to promote policies which make it easier to combine studying, training and family life, which support the balanced assumption by young people of family responsibilities without any form of discrimination and which enable them to optimise their contribution to European growth and competitiveness; points out that in education and research, women outnumber men as graduates (59 %), yet their presence decreases consistently as they progress up the career ladder, from 43 % of PhD candidates down to only 15 % of professors; |
|
6. |
Encourages the Member States to be more aware of the situation of young men and women who have family responsibilities in addition to being in education or training, and particularly to make resources available to them that suit to their needs; |
|
7. |
In view of the fact that the task of caring for dependants falls mainly to women, who thus find it difficult to pursue their studies, calls upon the Member States to set up social services to promote personal independence and to provide care for people who are dependent upon others; |
|
8. |
Encourages the Member States to offer affordable ‘student insurance’, and in particular social and medical cover, which could be extended to students' dependents; |
|
9. |
Suggests that Member States and credit institutions should simplify and facilitate the provision of loans on beneficial terms to young men and women who are combining family responsibilities with a period of study or training; |
|
10. |
Calls on the Member States to reduce or put an end to the taxation of young men and women who both study and work and who have family responsibilities or responsibilities towards dependants; |
|
11. |
Encourages the Member States, in partnership with local authorities and higher education and vocational training institutions, to adopt the necessary measures to enable students who are also parents to live in housing that is suited to their needs and to have access to sufficient and adequate childcare under the same eligibility criteria as working parents; calls on the Member States to make full use of the possibilities provided by Community funds and in particular the ESF in this area; |
|
12. |
Welcomes the Presidency Conclusions of the Barcelona European Council of 15 and 16 March 2002, which urged the Member States to provide by 2010 childcare for at least 90 % of children between the age of 3 and the mandatory school age, and for at least 33 % of children under 3 years of age; regrets the fact that the Member States have not yet made satisfactory provision in that respect; |
|
13. |
Encourages higher education and vocational training establishments to set up child-care services on their premises and calls on the Member States to support initiatives of this kind; stresses, furthermore, the importance of older family members (grandparents) and the major role they play in the process of bringing up children and in helping young parents who are working or studying; |
|
14. |
Calls on the Member States to ensure that all students with children have access to, and can afford to use, good quality local authority/State nursery schools; |
|
15. |
Calls on the Member States to ensure that all students with older children have access to, and can afford to use, good quality after-school facilities; |
|
16. |
Calls on the Member States to relieve young people, particularly women, of the main responsibility for caring for dependants so that those women have the opportunity to study; |
|
17. |
Calls on the Member States, in association with higher education and vocational training establishments, to propose more flexible ways of organising study courses, for example by increasing the opportunities for distance learning and the possibilities for part-time study, and by allowing more adults to continue their education, as part of lifelong learning; |
|
18. |
Encourages the Member States and higher education and vocational training establishments to make more use of the flexible learning techniques made possible by new technologies and to make these available to all young people in education or training, particularly those with family responsibilities and persons with disabilities; |
|
19. |
Calls on the Member States and higher education and vocational training establishments to ensure that pregnant students and mothers of young children enjoy equal treatment and non-discrimination in terms of commencing, continuing and returning to education, and to take particular account of their needs; |
|
20. |
Calls on higher education and vocational training establishments to make their teaching and other staff aware of the particular needs of students with responsibility for others, and if necessary to set up support and advisory services to make it easy for them to commence, continue or return to a course of higher education or vocational training; |
|
21. |
Calls on higher education and vocational training establishments to take account of the financial situation of young men and women who have family responsibilities when calculating course fees, and encourages them to provide appropriate assistance; |
|
22. |
Calls on the Member States to establish a national certification scheme for the identification of higher education or vocational training establishments which can help with ways of reconciling student life and family life, with a view to facilitating and encouraging the continuation or the resumption of studies in the case of people with family responsibilities; |
|
23. |
Encourages employers to exercise corporate social responsibility by awarding study grants which students with family responsibilities could also apply for, and thus help to promote the employment of young graduates; |
|
24. |
Calls on the Member States and social partners to encourage and facilitate lifelong learning by providing, inter alia, opportunities for paternal or maternal leave, or for leave of absence for reasons relating to legal guardianship or the care of dependent adults or people with disabilities, and for greater flexibility in working conditions, particularly through the use of new technologies; calls, furthermore, on the Member States to count maternity and parental leave during a period of study towards women's and men's aggregate time spent in work and their retirement pension entitlement periods, with a view to meeting fully the goal of genuine gender equality; |
|
25. |
Calls on the Member States to put an end to restrictions on paid work by persons who are studying or on parental leave where the amounts earned are within the limits established by the Member States, without depriving those persons of their entitlement to family benefits, which would enable them to remain in contact with their employers by working from home and thus make it easier for them to re-enter the labour market following a period of parental leave; |
|
26. |
Points out that most carers for dependent people are young women, which results in discrimination between men and women in education and careers; stresses the fundamental principle that men must assume greater responsibility for household work, children and other dependent persons if a greater number of young women are to have the opportunity to combine parenthood with studying; calls, therefore, on the Member States to recognise the value of family life and to promote the role of fathers and the better sharing of family responsibilities, including during time spent in education and after the completion of a course of study, as a significant step to achieving equal opportunities between men and women; |
|
27. |
Calls on the Member States to structure financial support to families with children in a manner that promotes the participation of men in childcare; |
|
28. |
Recommends to the Council, the Commission and the Member States, in the context of the open method of coordination and within meetings of education ministers and social services ministers, that they exchange best practice with regard to support for students with family responsibilities and to take account of the innovative arrangements in this area which some European countries have introduced; |
|
29. |
Recommends that Member States facilitate the granting or extension of social benefits to students from other Member States who have dependent children; |
|
30. |
Recommends to the Commission and the Member States respectively that, when devising and implementing Community and national programmes on education, they take account of the particular situation of students with family responsibilities; draws attention to the importance of including in such programmes horizontal measures to make it easier to combine studying with family life; calls for the education system to be made flexible so as to ensure that mothers, following maternity leave, can continue with, and be reintegrated into, their studies at the same level as previously undertaken; |
|
31. |
Calls on the Member States to consider, with reference to their national situation, whether a reform of their education system to encourage flexibility and better management of time spent in education would have the effect of enabling young people to begin their working lives at an earlier stage and to achieve their desire for parenthood; |
|
32. |
Encourages Eurostat and the Member States to adjust existing indicators with a view to gathering data which would make it possible to determine — at both Member State and EU level — the number of students with family responsibilities, their living conditions and the extent to which family responsibilities are a factor in them abandoning their studies, particularly in the case of young women; |
|
33. |
Stresses that the incentives for young women to study and start a family may also diminish because they are afraid of suffering discrimination at work at a later stage; calls, therefore, on the Member States to combat the discriminatory treatment of mothers by employers when recruiting and promoting staff; |
|
34. |
Calls on the scientific and academic communities to take appropriate steps with a view to ensuring that men and women with family responsibilities have equal access to scientific and/or research careers, thus encouraging them to embark on, and remain in, such careers and keeping them within the scientific community; |
|
35. |
Calls on the Member States to continue to seek to expand and promote professional training for persons with family responsibilities and those from marginalised or minority groups, so as to enable them to avoid long-term unemployment and to ensure that they have equal access to the labour market; |
|
36. |
Recommends to the Member States that they take into consideration, in accordance with the characteristics of their national health systems, the importance of access to health services for students who are expecting children or have children, and that they create the necessary infrastructure in close cooperation with universities; |
|
37. |
Submits that the principle of shared parental responsibility could also apply to young women and men living together on some basis, specific to each country, other than official marriage; |
|
38. |
Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and the Commission, and to the governments and parliaments of the Member States. |

P6_TC1-COD(2006)0206
Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 20 June 2007 with a view to the adoption of Regulation (EC) No .../2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the banning of exports and the safe storage of metallic mercury, cinnabar ore, calomel, mercury compounds and certain mercury-containing products
(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 175(1) 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 (1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Mercury releases are recognised as a global threat that warrants action at local, national, regional and global level. |
|
(2) |
In accordance with the Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament and to the Council ‘Community Strategy Concerning Mercury’ (3), and with the European Parliament's resolution of 14 March 2006 (4) on that strategy, it is necessary to reduce the risk of exposure to mercury for humans and the environment. |
|
(3) |
Measures taken at Community level must be seen as part of a global effort to reduce the risk of exposure to mercury, in particular in the framework of the Mercury Programme under the United Nations Environment Programme. |
|
(4) |
Mercury is not yet subject to binding restrictions under multilateral environmental agreements, with the exception of the 1998 Protocol on Heavy Metals to the UNECE Convention on Longrange Transboundary Air Pollution. |
|
(5) |
The European Parliament and the Council recognised the environmental and social problems arising from the closure of the mercury mines in the district of Almadén (Spain) and considered it advisable to adopt adequate compensation measures in order to allow the area affected to find viable solutions for the local environment, employment and economic activity. Furthermore, in its abovementioned resolution, the European Parliament took the view that the mines in Almadén would be a good site for the safe storage of metallic mercury. |
|
(6) |
The export of metallic mercury , cinnabar ore, calomel and mercury compounds from the Community should be banned in order to significantly reduce the global mercury supply. Member States should have the right to impose broader and more stringent bans in accordance with Article 176 of the Treaty. |
|
(7) |
For the same reason, the export of mercury-containing products already, or about to be, prohibited from being placed on the market in the European Union should also be banned. The Commission should draw up a consolidated list of the products covered which should be updated annually, on the basis of developments in Community legislation. |
|
(8) |
The import of metallic mercury, cinnabar ore, calomel and mercury compounds should be banned in order to ensure better protection for human health and the environment in the European Union. |
|
(9) |
The export ban will result in considerable amounts of surplus mercury in the Community that should be prevented from re-entering the market. Therefore the safe storage within the Community of this mercury should be ensured. |
|
(10) |
Member States should periodically submit information to the Commission on the metallic mercury, cinnabar ore and mercury compounds entering or leaving or traded cross-border within their territory, in order to enable the effectiveness of the instrument to be assessed in due time. All such information should be readily available to the public. |
|
(11) |
PARCOM (Paris Commission for the Prevention of Marine Pollution from Land-Based Sources) Decision 90/3 agreed to the objective of phasing out mercury cell chlor-alkali plants completely by 2010. In order to provide for possibilities of safe temporary storage of mercury no longer used in the chlor-alkali industry, it is appropriate to derogate from point (a) of Article 5(3) of Council Directive 1999/31/EC of 26 April 1999 on the landfill of waste (5) for certain types of landfill, and to declare the criteria of section 2.4 of the Annex to Council Decision 2003/33/EC of 19 December 2002 establishing criteria and procedures for the acceptance of waste at landfills pursuant to Article 16 of and Annex II to Directive 1999/31/EC (6) inapplicable for above-ground, retrievable storage. |
|
(12) |
In order to ensure temporary storage that is safe for human health and the environment, the safety assessment required under Decision 2003/33/EC for underground storage should be complemented by specific requirements and should also be made applicable to above-ground, retrievable storage. |
|
(13) |
The chlor-alkali industry should send all relevant data related to the decommissioning of mercury cells in their plants to the Commission and the competent authorities of the Member States concerned to facilitate enforcement of this Regulation. The industry sectors that gain mercury from the cleaning of natural gas or as a by-product from non-ferrous mining and smelting operations should also provide relevant data to the Commission and the competent authorities of the Member States concerned. The Commission should make this information publicly available. |
|
(14) |
It is appropriate to organise an exchange of information with all stakeholders in order to assess the potential need for supplementary measures related to import, export , temporary storage and safe final disposal of mercury , its compounds and mercury-containing products , without prejudice to the competition rules of the Treaty, in particular Article 81. |
|
(15) |
Member States should submit information on permits issued for temporary storage facilities as well as on the application and the market effects of this Regulation, in order to allow for its assessment in due time. |
|
(16) |
The Commission should take this information into account when submitting an assessment report in order to identify possible needs for amending this Regulation. |
|
(17) |
The Commission and the Member States should promote and facilitate awareness and ensure public availability of information on the export ban on metallic mercury, cinnabar ore and mercury compounds as well as on the safe storage of metallic mercury. |
|
(18) |
The Commission should also follow international developments concerning mercury supply and demand, in particular multilateral negotiations, and report on these in order to enable the consistency of the overall approach to be assessed. |
|
(19) |
Member States should lay down rules on penalties applicable to infringements of the provisions of this Regulation and ensure that they are applied. Those penalties should be effective, proportionate and dissuasive. |
|
(20) |
Technical assistance should be provided directly by the Commission and the Member States to developing countries and countries with economies in transition, or indirectly via support for projects by non-governmental organisations (NGOs), especially assistance which facilitates the shift towards alternative mercury-free technologies and the eventual phase-out of uses and releases of mercury and mercury compounds. |
|
(21) |
The Regulation is motivated by the need to protect human health and the environment . |
|
(22) |
Since the objective of this Regulation, namely reducing exposure to mercury by means of an export ban and a storage obligation, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, given the impact on the movement of goods and the functioning of the internal market as well as the cross-border nature of mercury pollution, 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 Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective, |
HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The export of metallic mercury (Hg, CAS No 7439-97-6), cinnabar ore and mercury compounds with a mercury concentration above 5% weight by weight (w/w) from the Community shall be prohibited from 1 December 2010 .
The export of mercury-containing products banned from sale or distribution within the European Union shall be prohibited from 1 December 2010.
Article 2
The import into the Community of metallic mercury (Hg, CAS No 7439-97-6), cinnabar ore, and mercury compounds with a mercury concentration above 5% weight by weight (w/w) shall be prohibited from 1 July 2010.
Member States shall meet their own mercury requirements from recovery from wastes and raw products.
Article 3
From 1 December 2010, Member States shall ensure that metallic mercury that is no longer used in the chlor-alkali industry or is extracted from cinnabar ore , mercury recovered from the cleaning of natural gas and mercury recovered as a by-product from non-ferrous mining and smelting operations shall be transported and stored, and eventually disposed of within the Community, in a way that is safe for human health and the environment , in appropriate facilities that qualify for that purpose, accompanied by a safety assessment and the relevant permit, pursuant to this Regulation .
Prior to any other alternative, consideration shall be given to the possibility of using Almadén for the safe storage of the existing metallic mercury stocks or metallic mercury sub-produced by industry all over Europe, but not mercury-containing articles that have become waste, thus making use of the infrastructures, local manpower and technological expertise existing there.
Article 4
1. By way of derogation from point (a) of Article 5(3) of Directive 1999/31/EC metallic mercury that is considered as waste shall be stored temporarily in appropriate containment in:
|
(a) |
an underground salt mine adapted for temporary storage of metallic mercury prior to its safe final disposal; |
|
(b) |
an above-ground facility exclusively dedicated to and equipped for the temporary storage of metallic mercury prior to its safe final disposal; or |
|
(c) |
an installation permitted under Council Directive 96/61/EC of 24 September 1996 concerning integrated pollution prevention and control (7) (IPPC Directive) for the production of chlorine (section 4.2(a) of Annex I to that Directive) and equipped, as a part of that permitted installation, for the temporary storage of metallic mercury pending its safe final disposal. |
In the case referred to in point (b) of the first subparagraph the criteria set out in section 2.4 of the Annex to Decision 2003/33/EC shall not apply.
2. By way of derogation from point (a) of Article 11(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 on shipments of waste (8) , the competent authorities for destination and dispatch may not raise objections to shipments of metallic mercury that is considered as waste and that is destined for temporary storage based on grounds that the planned shipment would not be in accordance with measures taken to implement the principles of proximity, priority for recovery and self-sufficiency.
Article 5
1. The safety assessment to be carried out in accordance with Decision 2003/33/EC for storage in an underground salt mine adapted for waste storage shall cover in particular the additional risks arising from the nature and long-term behaviour of the metallic mercury and its containment.
2. A safety assessment ensuring a level of environmental protection equivalent to the level ensured by Decision 2003/33/EC shall be carried out and submitted to the competent authority for the temporary storage in a facility exclusively dedicated to and equipped for the storage of metallic mercury.
3. The permit referred to in Articles 8 and 9 of Directive 1999/31/EC for the underground salt mine or the facility exclusively dedicated to and equipped for the temporary storage of metallic mercury shall include requirements for regular visual inspections of the containers and the installation of appropriate vapour detection equipment to detect any leak.
Article 6
The Commission shall undertake a revision of the safety assessment referred to in Decision 2003/33/EC to ensure that the particular risks of temporary storage of metallic mercury arising from the nature and long-term behaviour of the metallic mercury and its containment are covered. This revision shall be completed by 1 June 2010.
Article 7
During temporary storage, responsibility for safe storage shall lie with the owner of the storage facility. Member States shall set up a fund to ensure that financial resources are in place for the temporary storage and for the safe final disposal of mercury. The fund shall be created on the basis of fees from the chlor-alkali industry and from industry sectors that gain mercury in their production processes, such as, but not exclusively, the natural gas and non-ferrous industry, proportional to the amount of mercury sent for temporary storage.
Article 8
1. The companies concerned in the chlor-alkali industry shall send the following data related to the decommissioning of mercury in a given year to the Commission and the competent authorities of the Member States concerned:
|
— |
best estimate of total amount of mercury still in use, |
|
— |
amount of mercury recovered upon closure or reconversion of chlor-alkali plants, |
|
— |
amount sent to individual temporary storage facilities, |
|
— |
location and contact details for all storage facilities, |
|
— |
transfers to other chlor-alkali plants in the European Union for the operation of continuing cells, |
|
— |
amount temporarily stored under the responsibility of the original owner for the operation of continuing cells. |
2. The companies concerned in the industry sectors that gain mercury from the cleaning of natural gas or as a by-product from non-ferrous mining and smelting operations shall provide the following data related to mercury gained in a given year to the Commission and the competent authorities of the Member States concerned:
|
— |
amount of mercury gained, |
|
— |
amount sent to individual temporary storage facilities, |
|
— |
location and contact details for all storage facilities. |
3. The companies concerned shall send the data referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, as applicable, for the first time by 31 May ... (9), and thereafter each year before 31 May.
4. The Commission shall make the information in paragraph 3 publicly available in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1367/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 September 2006 on the application of the provisions of the Aarhus Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters to Community institutions and bodies (10) .
Article 9
The Commission shall organise an initial exchange of information between Member States and the relevant stakeholders by 30 June 2010 .
That exchange shall be based on the information collected until then and shall also examine the need for extending the export ban to mercury compounds with a mercury concentration below 5% weight by weight (w/w) , for extending the storage obligation to metallic mercury from other sources and for time limits concerning storage in an underground salt mine or an above-ground facility specifically dedicated to and equipped for the temporary storage of metallic mercury.
The exchange of information shall inter alia analyse the results of the consideration given to Almadén as the site for the safe storage of existing metallic mercury stocks or metallic mercury sub-produced by European industry in accordance with Article 3.
Article 10
1. Member States shall submit to the Commission a copy of any permit issued for a facility designated to store mercury.
2. Member States shall draw up a register of buyers, sellers and traders of mercury, cinnabar ore and mercury compounds, and collect relevant information. They shall inform the Commission on the application and market effects of this Regulation in their respective territory every two years, within six months from the end of the period covered. The Commission shall publish the information in a concise report within one year from the submission by the Member States. The first set of information shall cover the years 2007-2008 and shall be submitted to the Commission by 30 June 2009, and made public by 30 June 2010. The information shall be provided in a format which shall be established by the Commission by ... (11) .
3. The information referred to in paragraph 2 shall at least contain data on the following:
|
(a) |
volumes, prices, originating country and destination country as well as the intended use of metallic mercury , cinnabar ore, calomel and mercury compounds entering or leaving the Community; |
|
(b) |
volumes, prices, originating country and destination country as well as the intended use of metallic mercury , cinnabar ore, calomel and mercury compounds traded cross-border within the Community. |
Article 11
Member States shall lay down the rules on penalties applicable to infringements of the provisions of this Regulation and shall take all measures necessary to ensure that they are applied. The penalties provided for must be effective, proportionate and dissuasive. Member States shall notify those provisions to the Commission by ... (11) at the latest and shall notify it without delay of any subsequent amendment affecting them.
Article 12
The Commission and the Member States shall promote and facilitate awareness and ensure public availability of information on the export ban on metallic mercury, cinnabar ore and mercury compounds, as well as the safe storage of metallic mercury.
Article 13

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 20 June 2007 with a view to the adoption of Directive 2007/.../EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on improving the portability of supplementary pension rights
(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 Articles 42 and 94 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Following consultation of the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
|
(1) |
The free movement of persons is one of the fundamental freedoms of the Community; in Article 42, the Treaty stipulates that, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251, such measures in the field of social security shall be adopted as are necessary to provide freedom of movement for workers. |
|
(2) |
The social protection of workers with regard to pensions is guaranteed by statutory social security schemes, together with supplementary social security schemes linked to the employment contract, which are becoming increasingly common in the Member States. |
|
(3) |
The legislator has wide powers of discretion regarding the choice of measures which are the most appropriate when it comes to achieving the objective of Article 42 of the Treaty; the system of coordination provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 of 14 June 1971 on the application of social security schemes to employed persons, to self-employed persons and to members of their families moving within the Community (3) and Council Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 (4) of 21 March 1972laying down the procedure for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 and, in particular, the rules applicable to aggregation do not relate to supplementary pension schemes, except for schemes covered by the term ‘legislation’, as defined in the first paragraph of Article 1(j) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, or which have been the subject of a declaration by a Member State pursuant to that provision. Supplementary pension schemes should therefore be the subject of specific measures in order to take account of their nature and specific characteristics and of the diverse nature of these schemes within the Member States and from one Member State to another, and in particular the role played by the social partners in their implementation. |
|
(4) |
Council Directive 98/49/EC of 29 June 1998 on safeguarding the supplementary pension rights of employed and self-employed persons moving within the Community (5) represents an initial specific measure designed to improve the exercise of the right of employed and self-employed persons to freedom of movement as regards supplementary pension schemes. |
|
(5) |
Recourse should also be had to Article 94 of the Treaty, given that the disparities between the national legislation governing supplementary pension schemes are likely to hamper both the exercise of the right of workers to freedom of movement and the operation of the internal market. Thus, in order to improve the rights of workers moving within the Community and within the same Member State, provision should be made for certain minimum requirements for the establishment and preservation of the vested pension rights of outgoing workers in a supplementary pension scheme linked to an employment relationship . |
|
(6) |
Moreover, account should be taken of the characteristics and special nature of supplementary pension schemes and the way they differ within and among the Member States. The introduction of new schemes, the sustainability of existing schemes and the expectations and rights of current pension scheme members should be adequately protected. This Directive should also take particular account of the role of the social partners in designing and implementing supplementary pension schemes. |
|
(7) |
This Directive should not require Member States that have no supplementary pension schemes to adopt legislation to introduce such schemes. |
|
(8) |
This Directive should apply only to supplementary pensions which, according to the rules of the relevant pension scheme or national law, are based on reaching retirement age or fulfilling other conditions. It should apply neither to individual pension arrangements with no employer participation nor to invalidity or survivors' pensions. |
|
(9) |
This Directive should apply to all supplementary pension schemes established in conformity with national legislation and practice that offer supplementary pensions for workers, such as group insurance contracts, pay-as-you-go schemes agreed by one or more branches or sectors, funded schemes or pension promises backed by book reserves, or any collective or other comparable arrangement. |
|
(10) |
This Directive should not apply to supplementary pension schemes that have been closed to the effect that no new members can be accepted, because the introduction of new rules could place an unjustifiable burden on such schemes. |
|
(11) |
This Directive does not aim to harmonise or affect national law on reorganisation measures and winding-up proceedings; for these purposes it is irrelevant whether any such proceedings are opened because of insolvency, or whether they are entered into voluntarily or compulsorily. Similarly, this Directive does not affect national legislation on reorganisation measures under Directive 2001/17/EC (6). Measures taken under Article 16(2) of Directive 2003/41/EC (7) do not constitute reorganisation measures for these purposes. |
|
(12) |
This Directive should not affect any arrangements for insolvency protection or compensation arrangements which are not part of a supplementary pension scheme linked to an employment relationship and which aim to protect the pension rights of workers in the event of insolvency of the undertaking or the pension scheme. Similarly, this Directive should not affect national pension reserve funds. |
|
(13) |
Since supplementary retirement provision is becoming increasingly important in all the Member States for securing people's standard of living in old age, the conditions for acquiring, maintaining and transferring vested pension rights should be improved. |
|
(14) |
If the pension scheme or employer bears the investment risk (particularly for defined-benefit schemes), the scheme should refund the contributions of the outgoing worker, regardless of the current investment value of the contributions. If the outgoing worker bears the investment risk (particularly for defined-contribution schemes), the pension scheme should refund the investment value produced from these contributions. The investment value may be higher or lower than the sum of the contributions paid by the outgoing worker. If the investment value is negative, the amount should not be repaid. |
|
(15) |
Outgoing workers should have the right to leave their vested pension rights as dormant rights in the supplementary pension scheme in which their entitlement was established. |
|
(16) |
In conformity with national legislation and practice, steps should be taken to ensure fair treatment of the value of dormant rights. The value of the rights when the employee leaves the pension scheme can be calculated according to generally recognised actuarial principles. In calculating the value, account should be taken of the particularities of the scheme, the interests of the outgoing worker, and those of the members remaining in the pension scheme. |
|
(17) |
If the value of the vested pension rights of an outgoing worker does not exceed a threshold amount established by the Member State, and in order to avoid excessive costs arising from the management of a large number of low-value dormant rights, pension schemes must be given the option not to preserve those vested pension rights, but to pay a capital sum in proportion to the vested rights. The amount of the capital payment should always be determined by recognised actuarial principles and reflect the current value of the vested pension rights at the time of the payment . |
|
(18) |
This Directive does not aim to limit outgoing workers' ability to transfer vested pension rights. To encourage the freedom of movement for workers, Member States should endeavour, as far as possible and in particular when introducing new supplementary pension schemes, gradually to improve the transferability of vested pension rights. |
|
(19) |
Without prejudice to Directive 2003/41/EC, workers who exercise or plan to exercise their right to freedom of movement should be suitably informed by those responsible for managing supplementary pension schemes, particularly regarding how a termination of their employment would affect their supplementary pension rights. |
|
(20) |
In view of the diverse nature of supplementary social security schemes, the Community must confine itself to establishing the objectives to be achieved in general terms, which means that a directive is the appropriate legal instrument. |
|
(21) |
Since the objective of this Directive, namely to reduce the obstacles to the exercise of the right of workers to freedom of movement on the one hand and to the operation of the internal market on the other, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of the scope of the measures, 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, based on an impact assessment conducted with the help of the committee in the area of supplementary pensions, does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective. |
|
(22) |
This Directive establishes minimum requirements, thus enabling the Member States to adopt or maintain more favourable provisions. The implementation of this Directive cannot be used to justify a regression vis-à-vis the existing situation in each Member State. |
|
(23) |
In view of the need to take account of the effects of this Directive, in particular on the financial sustainability of supplementary pension schemes, the Member States may be granted more time in which gradually to implement those provisions which are likely to have effects of this kind. |
|
(24) |
In accordance with the national provisions governing the organisation of supplementary pension schemes, the Member States may grant the social partners, at their joint request, responsibility for implementing this Directive as regards the provisions relating to collective agreements, provided that they take all the necessary steps to ensure that they are at all times able to guarantee the outcomes prescribed in this Directive, |
HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
Objective
The aim of this Directive is to facilitate the exercise of the right of persons to freedom of movement and of the right to occupational mobility , as well as the early, comprehensive development of supplementary pension provision, by removing the obstacles created by certain provisions on supplementary pension schemes .

(i) |
‘value of dormant entitlement’ means the capital value of the pension rights, calculated according to recognised actuarial principles in conformity with national practice . |
Article 4
Conditions governing acquisition
The Member States shall take all necessary steps to ensure that:
|
(a) |
where an outgoing worker has not yet acquired vested pension rights when the employment relationship is terminated, the supplementary pension scheme shall reimburse the contributions paid by the outgoing worker, or by the employer on the worker's behalf, in accordance with the relevant legal provisions or collective agreements or contracts, or, if the outgoing worker bears the investment risk, the investment value arising from those contributions ; |
|
(b) |
where the supplementary pension scheme stipulates a vesting period, that period shall not exceed five years. In any event, no vesting condition shall be applied to the member of a supplementary pension scheme once that member has reached the age of 25; |
|
(c) |
a worker may join a supplementary pension scheme after a maximum period of employment of one year or, where appropriate, no later than once he has reached the required minimum age; |
|
(d) |
in objectively justified cases, the Member States may allow the social partners to include in collective agreements non-discriminatory arrangements not covered by points (a) and (b), on the basis that those arrangements provide at least equivalent protection . |
Article 5
Preservation of dormant pension rights
1. Member States shall adopt the measures they deem necessary to ensure that outgoing workers can retain their vested pension rights in the supplementary pension scheme in which they have acquired them, in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 3.
2. Member States shall adopt the measures they deem necessary , having regard to the nature of the pension scheme, in order to ensure fair treatment of the value of the dormant pension rights of outgoing workers and to protect those pension rights against the risk of insolvency of the undertaking. Fair treatment means, in particular, that:
|
(a) |
the value of the dormant rights develops generally in line with the value of the rights of active scheme members; |
|
(b) |
the pension rights in the supplementary pension scheme are set as a nominal sum; |
|
(c) |
the inactive scheme member continues to benefit from a rate of interest built into the pension scheme; or |
|
(d) |
the value of the dormant pension rights is adjusted in accordance with the inflation rate, salary levels, current pensions or the return on investment intended by the supplementary pension provider. |
3. The Member States may allow supplementary pension schemes not to preserve vested rights but to pay a capital sum equivalent to the value of the vested pension rights to the outgoing worker, as long as the value of the vested pension rights does not exceed any threshold established by the Member State concerned. The Member State shall inform the Commission of any threshold applied.
4. The Member States may allow the social partners to include in collective agreements arrangements not covered by paragraphs 2 and 3, as long as those arrangements provide at least equivalent protection for the people concerned.
Article 6
Information
1. Without prejudice to the obligations of the institutions for occupational retirement provision stemming from Article 11 of Directive 2003/41/EC, to provide information to members and beneficiaries, the Member States shall adopt the measures they deem to be necessary to ensure that active pension scheme members can request information on how a termination of employment will affect their supplementary pension rights , in accordance with paragraph 2 .
2. Sufficient information shall be provided in writing and within a reasonable period of time to active pension scheme members who request it. Such information shall relate, in particular, to the:
|
(a) |
conditions governing the establishment of supplementary pension rights and the effects of applying them when an employment relationship is terminated; |

(b) |
pension benefits envisaged when an employment relationship is terminated; and |
|
(c) |
amount and preservation of dormant pension rights . |

Article 7
Minimum requirements — non-regression
1. The Member States may adopt or maintain provisions on the establishment and preservation of supplementary pension rights by outgoing workers which are more favourable than those set out in this Directive.
2. The implementation of this Directive may not under any circumstances be used as a reason for cutting back the existing provisions in the Member States for the establishment and preservation of supplementary pension rights by outgoing workers .
Article 8
Implementation
1. Member States shall adopt the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive before1 July 2008, or they shall ensure that, by that date, the social partners introduce the required provisions by way of agreement.

4. The Member States shall inform the Commission of the measures taken in order to implement the provisions of Article 5.
Article 9
Report
1. Every five years after 1 July 2008, the Commission shall draw up a report for submission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions on the basis of the information provided by the Member States. That report shall contain an assessment of employers' willingness to offer a supplementary pension scheme following the entry into force of this Directive .
2. The report shall include a proposal on how, when vested pension rights are transferred, the undertaking's liability for such rights can be excluded.
3. No later than ... (9), the Commission shall draw up a report, in particular with regard to the conditions of transferring capital representing workers' supplementary pension rights. On the basis of that report, the Commission shall present any proposal containing amendments to this Directive or other instruments which prove necessary in order further to reduce the obstacles to the mobility of workers created by certain rules on supplementary pension provision.

Galileo
European Parliament resolution of 20 June 2007 on the financing of the European programme of satellite radionavigation (Galileo) under the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 and the multiannual financial framework 2007-2013
The European Parliament,
|
— |
having regard to the Commission proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the implementation of the deployment and commercial operating phases of the European programme of satellite radionavigation (COM(2004)0477), |
|
— |
having regard to its position of 6 September 2005 on that proposal (1), |
|
— |
having regard to its resolution of 26 April 2007 on the Galileo concession contract negotiations (2), |
|
— |
having regard to the Commission Communication ‘Galileo at a cross-road: the implementation of the European GNSS programmes’ (COM(2007)0261), |
|
— |
having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (IIA) (3), |
|
— |
having regard to Rule 54 of its Rules of Procedure, |
|
1. |
Reminds the Council and Commission that the multiannual financial framework contains an amount of roughly EUR 1 billion for the operational expenditure of Galileo for the period 2007 to 2013 and that the financial reference amount under the amended proposal for a regulation on the implementation of the deployment and commercial operating phases of the European programme of satellite radionavigation is EUR 1,005 billion at current prices; |
|
2. |
Expresses its concern at the possibility that the additional financing necessary to fill the gap following the failure of the public-private partnership (PPP) could be agreed on an intergovernmental basis; |
|
3. |
Will oppose any solution which would combine Community funding with additional intergovernmental funding; |
|
4. |
Points out that the Commission must present a revised proposal for a regulation on the financing of the Galileo programme, which must be agreed upon by Parliament and the Council under the codecision procedure; |
|
5. |
Reiterates its support for the Galileo programme, which is of enormous European added value, and expresses its strong support for continuing the programme under EU responsibility; |
|
6. |
Considers that under these circumstances the Galileo programme should be financed in full from the Union budget; |
|
7. |
Is of the opinion that if the public sector takes on the complete financing of the project, as well as taking over some or all of the risks and liabilities, this factor should be taken into account in a future revised concession contract, especially as regards the reimbursement mechanism for public financial contributions and the price of services; |
|
8. |
Invites the Commission, therefore, to take the initiative of proposing a revision of the financial framework as provided for in Point 22 of the IIA or by the other means provided for by the IIA; |
|
9. |
Invites the Council to open negotiations with Parliament as soon as the Commission has presented such a proposal; |
|
10. |
Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and Commission. |

The transposition and implementation of public procurement legislation
European Parliament resolution of 20 June 2007 on specific problems in the transposition and implementation of public procurement legislation and its relation to the Lisbon Agenda (2006/2084(INI))
The European Parliament,
|
— |
having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, |
|
— |
having regard to Council Directive 92/50/EEC of 18 June 1992 relating to the coordination of procedures for the award of public service contracts (1), |
|
— |
having regard to Council Directive 93/36/EEC of 14 June 1993 coordinating procedures for the award of public supply contracts (2), |
|
— |
having regard to Council Directive 93/37/EEC of 14 June 1993 concerning the coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts (3), |
|
— |
having regard to Council Directive 93/38/EEC of 14 June 1993 coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and telecommunications sectors (4), |
|
— |
having regard to Directive 97/52/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 1997 amending Directives 92/50/EEC, 93/36/EEC and 93/37/EEC concerning the coordination of procedures for the award of public service contracts, public supply contracts and public works contracts respectively (5), |
|
— |
having regard to Directive 98/4/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 amending Directive 93/38/EEC coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and telecommunications sectors (6), |
|
— |
having regard to the Commission proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy and transport sectors (COM(2000)0276), |
|
— |
having regard to the Commission proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the coordination of procedures for the award of public supply contracts, public service contracts and public works contracts (COM(2000)0275), |
|
— |
having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement on better law-making (7), |
|
— |
having regard to Directive 2004/17/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors (8), |
|
— |
having regard to Directive 2004/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on the coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts (9), |
|
— |
having regard to Rule 45 of its Rules of Procedure, |
|
— |
having regard to the report of the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection and the opinion of the Committee on Legal Affairs (A6-0226/2007), |
|
A. |
whereas Community law on public procurement aims to open public markets in the Member States to cross-border competition, thereby creating a level playing field for providers and supporting the development of the internal market; |
|
B. |
whereas the timely and correct transposition and implementation of public procurement legislation significantly contribute to meeting the objectives of the EU's better regulation programme; |
|
C. |
whereas Directive 2004/18/EC (the public sector Directive) brings together three previous Directives for works, services and supplies, thereby clarifying and modernising the previous rules; |
|
D. |
whereas Directives 2004/17/EC and 2004/18/EC (the public procurement Directives) introduce new provisions and optional rules which provide increased flexibility to purchasing authorities, and whereas general efficiency increases can be achieved in public procurement by introducing the optional elements of the public sector Directive as these reduce transaction costs; |
|
E. |
whereas Directive 2004/17/EC introduces an exemption mechanism for activities fully open to competition across the EU; |
|
F. |
whereas the deadline for transposing the public procurement Directives into national legislation was 31 January 2006 and whereas, to date, only 20 out of 27 Member States have transposed them; whereas delayed transposition creates an uneven legal playing-field across the EU; |
|
G. |
whereas some barriers to trade may also emerge if all optional elements in the public sector Directive are not consistently implemented by all Member States; |
|
H. |
whereas the Commission is limited to offering its assistance on a voluntary basis to Member States in the transposition process, which is consequently not always effectively ensured; |
|
I. |
whereas the most frequently quoted barriers to satisfactory transposition are the lack of national legal expertise or human resources and the lack of political will in the Member States; |
|
J. |
whereas the internal market scoreboard of December 2006 notes significant improvements in transposition rates; |
|
K. |
whereas the majority of public procurement subject to the public procurement Directives complies with the rules, and therefore allegations that the internal market in public procurement is failing and threatens the achievement of Lisbon Agenda targets are unfounded; |
|
L. |
whereas nonetheless, there are problems in gathering data on public procurement which are linked in particular to the large number of contracting authorities and to the incomplete record on misapplications of the rules; |
|
M. |
whereas the Commission is concerned about the number of illegal direct awards; |
|
N. |
whereas illegal direct awards occur as a result of a number of factors including misunderstanding of the public procurement rules as set out in the public procurement Directives, Treaty principles and relevant rulings from the European Court of Justice; errors made in complex procurements; extensions of frameworks beyond their original scope or duration; alleged corrupt practices; the circumvention of lengthy timescales associated with EU advertising; and unnecessarily elaborate national tendering requirements, such as complex electronic purchasing arrangements; |
|
O. |
whereas there are concerns that the environmental or social criteria laid down in the public sector Directive have the potential to be misapplied; |
|
P. |
whereas the Commission's ability to systematically take prompt legal action in cases of misapplication of the rules is limited by a lack of adequate human resources; |
|
Q. |
whereas the record on transposition and implementation could be improved by the promotion of professionalism and best practices in public procurement policies at Member State level; |
|
R. |
whereas in a number of Member States, best practices have been codified in effective procurement review systems; |
|
S. |
whereas pre-commercial procurement has been identified as an untapped opportunity in Europe to use public needs as a driver for innovation; whereas pre-commercial procurements can be organised within the existing legal frameworks set out by the WTO Government Procurement Agreement, the public procurement Directives, the Treaty establishing the European Community, competition law including state aid law and the jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice; |
|
1. |
Welcomes the recent modernisation and simplification of the EU public procurement rules, which has significantly boosted efficiency in EU public procurement processes; |
Transposition of Community legislation on public procurement
|
2. |
Considers that Member States should make full use of the Commission's assistance in the transposition process; |
|
3. |
Considers that the Commission should be given the human resources to police late and incorrect transposition more effectively; |
|
4. |
Stresses that Member States should actively exchange knowledge and best practice with each other on transposing public procurement legislation and improve cooperation with the Commission in this field; |
|
5. |
Considers that the inconsistent transposition of the optional elements of the public sector Directive could have an adverse effect on the internal market, and accordingly encourages Member States to consider adopting all flexibility options; stresses in particular that these options could reduce the risk of illegal practices; |
|
6. |
Calls accordingly on the Commission to conduct a study to evaluate the impact of non-harmonised transposition of the optional elements of the public sector Directive on cross-border tendering in the EU; |
|
7. |
Calls on the Member States, so far having failed to do so, to provide their public authorities with the necessary legal tools to cooperate, in a non-bureaucratic manner, in the framework of a public-public partnership, thus creating the necessary legal security for public authorities to act in accordance with Community law, especially the public procurement directives and the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Communities; |
Implementation of Community legislation on public procurement
|
8. |
Strongly believes that breaches of the rules could be reduced if Member States and the Commission introduced more collaborative practices; encourages therefore Member States and the Commission to actively promote informal exchanges at an early stage; |
|
9. |
Considers that, given the number of infringements, the Commission should be given the human resources to police the implementation of public procurement legislation more effectively; |
|
10. |
Calls on the Member States to provide the Commission with sufficient data on the implementation of the public procurement Directives; urges moreover Member States and the Commission to work together towards increasing the capacity for better data collection and for better policing of transposition and implementation problems; |
|
11. |
Calls for the introduction of national advisory agencies on public procurement to assist contracting authorities in the correct implementation of the public procurement rules, and to assist tenderers, in particular small and medium enterprises, in bidding for public contracts; |
|
12. |
Calls on Member States to focus national efforts on detecting and sanctioning illegal practices and ensuring that all relevant national court judgments and rulings of the European Court of Justice are respected; |
|
13. |
Stresses that informal dispute settlement mechanisms can be complementary to formal remedies in public procurement and should benefit from greater visibility; |
|
14. |
Strongly encourages Member States to coordinate and simplify electronic purchasing techniques to facilitate access to such procurements; |
|
15. |
Welcomes the Commission's handbook on the application of environmental criteria; |
|
16. |
Welcomes the Commission's ongoing study on the application of social criteria to ensure correct and effective application of those criteria; calls for the publication of guidelines on the application of social criteria on completion of the study; |
Improving best practice in public procurement
|
17. |
Considers that Member States should devote more capacity to raising the level of procurement professionalism and sharing best practice at the national level to ensure consistent and even application of the public procurement rules by all contracting authorities and in areas of the rules where there is less clarity, particularly procurements falling outside the full scope of the public procurement Directives; |
|
18. |
Points out that the systematic training of procurement professionals across the EU would enhance the transparency of national implementation measures and procedures in public procurement across the EU; |
|
19. |
Stresses that a change is needed to move away from a budget-based approach to an outcome-focused approach in public procurement, looking at whole project-cycle costs and requiring purchasing professionals to develop sound management and economic skills; |
|
20. |
Encourages the Commission, in partnership with Member States, to improve knowledge dissemination at EU level in the field of public procurement; |
|
21. |
Encourages the development of national procurement ‘showcase conferences’ displaying best-in-class public procurement projects and the development and coordination of the work of European networks for the exchange of best practice in public procurement; |
|
22. |
Encourages the use by Member States of pre-commercial procurement, based on risk-benefit sharing between procurers and suppliers with a view to developing innovative solutions to address specific problems of public interest, as an effective tool for driving innovation in the EU; |
Conclusion
|
23. |
Recommends that the Commission propose an action plan to encourage Member States to fulfil their obligation to tackle persistent and emerging transposition and implementation problems in public procurement, focusing on illegal direct awards and late or incorrect transposition; |
*

|
24. |
Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the Court of Justice of the European Communities, the European Ombudsman, and the parliaments of the Member States. |

|
A. |
whereas the year 2007 marks the mid-point to meeting the MDGs in 2015 and therefore offers a unique opportunity to take stock of what remains to be done, |
|
B. |
whereas in Sub-Saharan Africa many countries are not on track to meet any of the MDGs, and also in many middle-income countries there are regions and ethnic groups made up of millions of people who are making unsatisfactory progress, |
|
C. |
whereas the European Council, with reference to the agenda for the G8 Summit in Gleneagles in July 2005, agreed in May 2005 that 0,7 % of Gross National Income (GNI) would be donated as Official Development Assistance (ODA) by 2015 and that this increase in aid was a fundamental prerequisite for the achievement of the MDGs, |
|
D. |
whereas the OECD's Development Assistance Committee (DAC) allows for debt relief to be counted towards donor countries' ODA contributions even though it does not represent a transfer of any new resources from donor to recipient countries, |
|
E. |
whereas debt relief is one of the targets of MDG 8, which aims specifically to ‘deal comprehensively with developing countries’ debt problems through national and international measures to make debt sustainable in the long term, |
|
F. |
whereas 24 countries have now benefited from debt cancellation, including 18 in Africa, but more much debt cancellation is still needed, |
|
G. |
whereas annually EUR 6,9 billion of ODA is required if the MDG on basic education is to be achieved and whereas the current global ODA for basic education is around EUR 1,6 billion — of which the EU contributes EUR 0,8 billion, |
|
H. |
whereas the estimated financing needed to meet the health MDGs is EUR 21 billion per year, and current financing meets only 36 % of this need, and whereas even with an anticipated increase in EU ODA by 2010, the available funds will cover only 41 % of the required EUR 21 billion — leaving a financing gap of EUR 11,9 billion per year, |
|
I. |
whereas despite significant progress towards universal primary education in recent years, there are still some 77 million primary school age children currently not in school, and the target of correcting the gender imbalance in primary schools by 2005 has been missed, |
|
J. |
Whereas child labour denies children the right to education, which is an essential instrument for future generations to escape poverty, |
|
K. |
whereas the three health MDGs, those on infant mortality, on maternal mortality and on the fight against HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria are among the least likely to be achieved by 2015, |
|
L. |
whereas, according to the 2006 UN Report on the MDGs, despite progress in some countries the rate of HIV/AIDS infection is continuing to increase, with the number of people infected rising from 36,2 million in 2003 to 38,6 million in 2005 (half of whom are women), and whereas the number of deaths attributable to AIDS also rose in 2005, despite improved access to antiretroviral therapies, |
|
M. |
whereas at present over 90 % of health research funding is spent on diseases that affect just ten per cent of the world's population and whereas patent systems may have been working as an incentive for R&D in developed countries, this has not been the case for neglected diseases affecting the poor, |
|
N. |
whereas, according to some estimates, there is a shortage of some two million teachers and over four million health workers in developing countries and in most cases, there are no strategies in place for training and recruitment, |
|
O. |
Whereas the right to food is essential to enable all other human rights to be exercised and its fulfilment is a prerequisite for the achievement of the entire range of the MDGs; and according to the 2006 UN report on the MDGs, progress to reduce hunger has been too slow and numbers have even been increasing in the last few years and, as a result, 854 million people (17 % of the global population) go hungry every day and almost 16 000 children die every day from hunger-related causes, |
|
P. |
whereas progress towards tackling malnutrition is alarmingly slow and 27 % of children are malnourished and 53 % of deaths among children under five are associated with malnutrition, |
|
Q. |
whereas according to UNDP, at least 19 countries have completed MDG needs assessments, and another 55 are in the process of drawing them up, but to date not a single low income country in Africa is implementing such strategies, |
|
R. |
whereas the baseline survey for monitoring the Paris Declaration which was undertaken in 2006 found disappointing results relating to the implementation of pledges on harmonisation, alignment and ownership, |
|
S. |
whereas the EU, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Sweden, Ireland, Denmark and Germany are increasing the proportion of aid spent through general budget support, |
|
T. |
whereas the quality of development aid is as important as its quantity, taking into account the absorption capacity of the countries concerned, |
|
U. |
whereas progress towards achieving the MDGs requires radical action to address the structural causes of poverty, including the need for a fair and equitable rules-based trade systems designed to promote trade and to correct the imbalances in global trade, especially where Africa is concerned, |
|
V. |
whereas Parliament in its resolution of 6 July 2006 on Fair Trade and Development (7) recognised the role of fair trade in improving the livelihoods of small farmers and producers in the developing world, providing as it does a sustainable production model with guaranteed returns for the producer, |
|
W. |
whereas increased support to the private sector, in particular to small and medium-sized enterprises, is a driving force for the development and creation of new markets, as well as for the creation of jobs, |
|
X. |
whereas the achievement of the MDGs is an EU priority and whereas the crucial role of local authorities in their implementation has been recognised by the UN, |
|
Y. |
whereas an estimated two billion people in the world lack access to modern energy carriers and whereas no country has been able to substantially reduce poverty without significantly increasing its use of energy; |
|
Z. |
whereas the abovementioned Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change and the Fourth Assessment Report on Climate Change demonstrated unequivocally that climate change has the greatest impact on developing countries and that for many of the world's most vulnerable communities, climate change is already a reality, |
|
AA. |
whereas the preliminary estimates of the World Bank indicate that USD 10-40 billion will be required annually in order to ‘climate-proof’ development in the poorest countries; and whereas contributions to adaptation funds within the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change do not amount to more than USD 150-300 million per year, |
|
AB. |
whereas conflict-affected fragile States account for only 9% of the population of the developing countries, but that 27 % of the extreme poor, nearly one third of all child deaths and 29 % of 12 year olds who did not complete primary school in 2005, are to be found in fragile States, |
|
AC. |
whereas good governance and improved institutional capacity are vital to ensuring the delivery of basic social services and infrastructure and security to citizens, |
|
AD. |
whereas the achievement of the MDGs would not only mean a giant step in reducing global poverty and suffering, but would also serve to demonstrate the international community's ability to set and follow through practical targets for global partnership, |
Scaling up aid
|
1. |
Emphasises that the over-arching aim of development cooperation is and must be the fight against poverty; stresses, however, that this fight is not limited to material growth and that, therefore, democracybuilding and the promotion of basic human rights, the rule of law and the principles of justice, equity, transparency and accountability must always be central themes of any such cooperation; |
|
2. |
Recalls the commitment made by G8 countries at Gleneagles in 2005 to double aid to Sub-Saharan Africa by 2010 and expresses disappointment that, according to the OECD, ODA excluding debt relief to Sub-Saharan Africa ‘was static in 2006’; |
|
3. |
Stresses that in order to meet their financial commitments to Africa, the G8 donors will each have to provide an additional EUR 15 billion to Africa by 2010, over and above their 2004 levels, but that they have so far been off track; |
|
4. |
Regrets that at the recent G8 Summit in Heiligendamm, leaders failed to do enough to guarantee their promises to Africa and is concerned that although the G8 reiterated their 2005 pledge to increase ODA to Africa by EUR 18,6 billion a year by 2010, the G8 did not commit to an accountable timetable for delivering these aid promises; |
|
5. |
Stresses that the G8 announcement of EUR 44,7 billion for HIV, health, TB and Malaria includes considerable amounts of money from existing spending levels and is not sufficient to set the G8 back on track for overall ODA commitments; therefore calls on the G8 to ensure that this commitment is now accompanied by other commitments in other health sectors and on education, trade, governance and peace and security to truly ensure that the G8 deliver on their promises to Africa; |
|
6. |
Welcomes the action taken by many EU countries in writing off the debt of developing countries; expresses concern, nevertheless, that such debt write-offs have artificially boosted EU aid figures by nearly 30 % in 2006, meaning that the Member States spent 0,31 % of GNI on actual aid last year, failing to meet the collective intermediary objective of 0,33 %; |
|
7. |
Calls on the EU and the G8 to disaggregate debt cancellation and relief from aid figures in line with the 2002 Monterrey Consensus and the abovementioned GAERC conclusions of April 2006; |
|
8. |
Regrets that at the mid-point in the implementation period for the MDGs, ODA from the EU-15 is decreasing as a share of GNI from 0,44 % ODA/GNI in 2005 to 0,43 % ODA/GNI in 2006; |
|
9. |
Welcomes the fact that aid provided by the Commission rose by 5,7% to EUR 7,5 billion in 2006, reflecting improved disbursement capacity from the higher level of commitments made in recent years; |
|
10. |
Commends those Member States that have reached or exceeded the 0,7% ODA/GNI target and those that are increasing their actual aid levels, but regrets that some EU-15 countries have failed to meet the interim 0,33 % target by a wide margin in 2006; |
|
11. |
Notes that Portugal, which is due to host the EU-Africa Summit during its Presidency, achieved only 0,21 % ODA/GNI in 2006; |
|
12. |
Notes that the worst inflators of aid are Austria (57 %), France (52 %), Italy (44 %), Germany (53 %) and the UK (28 %), and further notes that Germany, which currently holds the Presidencies of both the EU and G8, would not have reached the target of 0,33 % ODA/GNI without inflating its aid; |
|
13. |
Calls on all Member States that are off-track to honour the promises made in Barcelona, Gleneagles and Monterrey, and to urgently commit themselves to a scaling up of real aid in 2007, and calls on the Commission to support those Member States in carefully planning the financial and organisational aspects for forthcoming aid increases to ensure that the EU interim 2010 target of 0,56 % GNI is met; |
|
14. |
Argues that the budget review, starting in 2008, should take into account the EU's increasingly important role in the world and enable development expenditure to increase; in this context, the EU might decide to implement new ways of funding the MDGs, such as through the European Investment Bank (EIB) and calls on the EIB to ensure that the same political accountability is extended to Parliament on the funding of such projects as for other EIB operations; |
|
15. |
Calls on the Commission to plan for the clear likelihood that the 10th European Development Fund (EDF) will not be ratified by all 27 Member States before 2010 and should therefore urgently ensure that funds are available during the transitional period (2008-2010); |
|
16. |
Urges the Commission to continue to explore innovative sources of finance as alternative ways of securing funding for development programmes; |
|
17. |
Urges the Member States to undertake regular assessments of progress towards ODA targets and welcomes the Commission proposal that the Member States put national timetables in place to ensure that they are on track towards reaching agreed country-ODA targets by 2010/2015 and to improve the longterm predictability of their aid flows; |
|
18. |
Urges the EU and the G8 to recognise the growing importance of new donors, and in particular China, and to engage these new donors in a dialogue on approaches and standards for external assistance, including on the importance of applying internationally agreed norms and standards in aid implementation; |
|
19. |
Calls on the G8 de-link all aid from their national economic interests, noting that as a group, the G8 currently tie 29 % of their aid to developing countries, as opposed to the total donor average of 24 %; |
Debt relief
|
20. |
Stresses that possibly as many as 60 countries need all of their debts to be cancelled if they are to have any chance of achieving the MDGs and that there are yet more countries that require further debt relief, including a number of countries with ‘odious debts’, such as those contracted by South Africa's former apartheid regime; |
|
21. |
Welcomes the World Bank finding that countries receiving debt relief under Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative have, between 1999 and 2005, more than doubled their expenditure on poverty reduction plans; |
|
22. |
Calls on countries to meet their obligations to use funds released by debt relief and cancellation transparently and accountably, and further argues that debt relief should be withheld only if there is a broad consensus in their parliaments and among civil society organisations that standards of transparency and accountability are not being met; |
|
23. |
Stresses that long-term debt sustainability will depend on responsible lending policies, the provision of appropriate financing, the maintenance of sound economic policies, strengthened debt management and sound public and parliamentary accountability of loan contraction, as well as export performance and particularly export diversification; |
|
24. |
Calls on Member States to ensure that any economic restructuring conditions attached to debt relief be limited to achieving a return to debt sustainability, and that such conditions do not constitute counterproductive constraints on the public funding of measures to combat poverty; |
|
25. |
Calls on all donors and creditors to make all information relating to loans and debt write offs easily available and accessible in partner countries and to insist on the same transparency for commercial creditors; |
|
26. |
Calls on Member States to act on the ‘supply side’ of corruption by investigating, prosecuting and blacklisting bribe givers and to protect poor countries from ‘vulture funds’; |
|
27. |
Calls on the World Bank to make more concessional financing available to countries striving to achieve the MDGs; |
Financing human and social development
|
28. |
Urges the EU to increase its ODA commitments to education to fill the EUR 5,3 billion financing gap, and given that the major challenge facing the Education For All — Fast Track Initiative (FTI) is lack of external finance, the Commission is to be commended for initiating efforts to increase donor pledges but regrets that while commitments made at the Donor Conference held in Brussels on 2 May 2007 should enable 1 million more children to go to school, they still leave another 76 million children without education; |
|
29. |
Calls on the EU to increase its proportion of global ODA for health from the current 6,6 %, in order to help bridge the financing gap of EUR 11,9 billion per year of the total estimated EUR 21 billion per year needed to fulfil global health spending needs, and calls for continuing and increased, predictable support for the Global Fund to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria; |
|
30. |
Calls on the African Union (AU) to continue its support for the Abuja Declaration of 2001 which confirms that countries should allocate at least 15 % of their national budgets for health care but regrets that only two African States have met this promise; |
|
31. |
Stresses that developing-country governments have made real progress in the last decade in increasing investment in health and education but that in some cases promises have not been fulfilled, and calls on these governments to set a timetable for reaching the target of investing at least 20 % of government budgets in education and the target of investing 15 % of government budgets in health; |
|
32. |
Calls on the Court of Auditors to conduct an audit in 2008 of the commitment in the DCI that by 2009, 20 % of all EU ODA would be allocated to basic health and to basic and secondary education; |
Priorities in human and social development
|
33. |
Emphasises that it is a priority to ensure that ‘hard-to-reach’ children — those from conflict-affected fragile States, those with disabilities, from remote regions, chronically poor families or those excluded on the grounds of ethnicity — can exercise their right to basic education; |
|
34. |
Calls on the EU to give urgent attention to education in conflict-affected fragile States, which currently receive less than one fifth of global education aid despite being home to more than half the world's children missing out on education, and in particular calls on the Humanitarian Aid Department of the Commission (ECHO) to follow through clear guidelines for ECHO support to education in emergency responses; |
|
35. |
Calls on the EU to assist countries in building national capacity to track learning outcomes in order to ensure that expanded access to education also delivers quality education; |
|
36. |
Deplores the fact that virtually no country in Africa is on track to achieve the MDGs for maternal and child health; |
|
37. |
Notes that progress on child mortality lags behind other MDGs despite the availability of simple, low cost interventions that could prevent millions of deaths each year, and stresses that oral rehydration therapy, insecticide-treated bednets, breast-feeding, and common antibiotics for respiratory diseases could prevent an estimated 63 % of child deaths; |
|
38. |
Believes that health care infrastructure deserves stable and long term financial support from national budgets and international assistance in order to deliver the health-related MDGs, such as reducing infant mortality by increasing immunisation coverage, reducing maternal mortality by increasing access to skilled professionals, supporting research and development of and access to new diagnostics and therapies, providing safe drinking water and sanitation, and scaling up significantly towards the goal of universal access to prevention, treatment, care and support of HIV/AIDS, malaria, TB and other diseases by 2010, including for marginalised populations and those most vulnerable to infectious diseases; |
|
39. |
Calls on the international donor community to assist developing countries in developing and implementing comprehensive health action programmes, tackling issues such as the need to secure sustainable financing for health infrastructure and salaries, increase investment in training and avoid an excessive ‘brain drain’ through the migration of high-skilled health workers; |
|
40. |
Welcomes the Johannesburg Declaration of the 3rd Ordinary Session of the AU Conference of Ministers of Health of 9-13 April 2007 on the Strengthening of Health Systems for Equity and Development as an important initiative towards achieving the health MDGs; calls on the EU to support the AU member states in implementing the programmes based on that Declaration; |
|
41. |
Urges the EU to continue to be at the vanguard of efforts to support sexual and reproductive health rights by maintaining levels of funding for the implementation of the ICPD Programme of Action, and regrets that while Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest rates of maternal mortality, it also has the lowest rate of contraceptive use in the world (19 %) and 30 % of all maternal deaths on the continent are caused by unsafe abortions; |
|
42. |
Points out that the UN plans to adopt a new target on MDG 5 on Universal Access to Sexual and Reproductive Health and therefore notes the Maputo Plan of Action for the Operationalisation of the Continental Policy Framework for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights 2007-2010 adopted by the Special Session of AU Conference of Ministers of Health of 18-22 September 2006; |
|
43. |
Stresses the urgent need to tackle gender-based violence in all forms because violence impact on girls' access to education and health and is also one of the main drivers of the HIV pandemic and therefore a key barrier to achieving greater gender equality in developing countries; |
|
44. |
Calls on the Commission to step up its commitment to combating HIV/AIDS in developing countries and to ensure that those most affected have ever better access, at affordable prices, to prevention resources and policies, antiretroviral treatments and healthcare services (infrastructure, personnel and medicines) capable of meeting the growing demand; |
|
45. |
Notes that all the MDGs are critically dependent on stemming the HIV/AIDS epidemic and asks the Commission to accord the highest priority to addressing this global pandemic by supporting an intensified and comprehensive response; points out that the response should ensure universal access to existing prevention and treatment as well as adequate investment in the development of and universal access to a wide range of prevention technologies, including microbicides and vaccines; and calls on the EU to promote greater industry participation, a more coordinated scientific effort, and policies and programmes that accelerate the testing of novel vaccines and microbicides; |
|
46. |
Calls on the EU to increase funding to ensure that progress in basic science and biomedicine results in new and affordable drugs, vaccines, and diagnostics for neglected diseases, to support the development phases of R&D and to secure the use of new products by neglected populations whilst respecting the TRIPS provisions; |
|
47. |
Calls on the EU to support the full implementation of the Doha Declaration on the TRIPS Agreement and Public Health of the WTO Ministerial Conference of 9-14 November 2001, and to ensure that medicines are affordable for those for those developing countries that do take measures in compliance with the Doha Declaration, and further calls on the EU to provide technical assistance to developing countries for the implementation of pro-public-health measures in patent law; |
|
48. |
Stresses the need for a comprehensive review of those systems in place that are failing to solve the access to medicines problem, to include submitting recommendations to the WTO for amendment to its rules governing the export of medicines under compulsory licence, known as the August 30th decision; |
|
49. |
Points out that according to some estimates, two million teachers and over four million health workers need to be recruited to make health and education for all a reality and that EUR 10 billion must be invested every year in training and salaries for quality teachers and health workers; |
|
50. |
Calls on poor-country governments to set salaries of existing health workers and teachers at dignified levels in collaboration with their trade unions; |
|
51. |
Calls on poor-country governments to ensure parliamentary and citizen representation and oversight in monitoring public services and to facilitate the participation of civil society and local authorities in local and national planning and budget processes, including agreements and contracts signed with donors; |
|
52. |
Stresses that in some countries rates of malnutrition are increasing and that for the whole of Africa, an estimated 3,7 million more children will be malnourished in 2015 than today and calls on the EU to review and evaluate whether its indirect investment deal effectively with malnutrition; |
|
53. |
Calls on the international donor community to redouble their efforts and to coordinate specific policies for tackling chronic hunger and guaranteeing food security, by adopting an overall approach which addresses the multiple root causes of the problem; urges governments to honour their obligations to respect, protect and meet the right to food, in particular by fostering access to food for all; |
|
54. |
Calls on EU donors to immediately start using internationally agreed indicators on nutrition to report progress on food security, safety nets and social protection, governance, water, sanitation and health; |
Aid quality and poverty-focused development cooperation
|
55. |
Insists that Commission and Member States use the abovementioned EU Code of Conduct on Division of Labour Development Cooperation to ensure that spending and programmes on health and education are better coordinated and to ensure a sharper focus on neglected aid-orphan countries, including countries in crisis and fragile States; |
|
56. |
Urges all Member States to fully implement the agreed abovementioned Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness and stresses that more effort needs to be made by the EU in relation to mutual accountability, ownership by partner countries and reform of technical assistance because DAC Member States scored badly in these three areas in the recent OECD baseline survey on implementing the Paris Declaration; |
|
57. |
Calls on the EU to support partners in building their in-country capacity to lead a coherent development management process, as this remains central to ensuring countries' rightful ownership and leadership of their own development process; |
|
58. |
Believes that micro-financing is one of the most essential instruments in the fight against poverty as it empowers the poor themselves to actively participate in this fight; |
|
59. |
Stresses that one of the principal routes out of poverty and to empower women and men is to guarantee productive high-quality work with a decent income; |
|
60. |
Believes that gender- specific priorities and children's rights need to be re-focused in EU development policy both as basic rights and as part of the governance criteria applied under the Cotonou Agreement (8) and elsewhere; |
|
61. |
Welcomes the EC/UN Partnership on Gender Equality for Development and Peace that has recently been launched, with the aim of ensuring that gender is not sidelined in the implementation and review of the Paris Declaration; |
|
62. |
Believes that Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) and Country Strategy Papers (CSPs) are potentially important tools for achieving the MDGs, but that they should be drafted, implemented, monitored and evaluated in consultation with parliaments in ACP countries and Member States, Parliament, civil society and local authorities and should focus on meeting MDG objectives; |
|
63. |
Expresses concern about the lack of flexibility in EC programming which defines limited priorities at the start of a programming cycle and then does not allow for new issues to be supported, even if requested directly by partner governments; |
|
64. |
Stresses that the long-term goal of development cooperation must be to create the conditions for sustainable economic, social and environmental development; underlines, in this context, the need to promote public-private initiative partnerships, including support measures to small and medium-sized enterprises, to raise productivity and employment; |
|
65. |
Stresses the high potential of foreign direct investment in terms of development, sustained economic growth, the transfer of know-how, entrepreneurship and technology and job creation; underlines, in this context, the importance of a transparent, predictable and favourable investment climate, minimising red tape for business, respecting property rights, promoting competition and striving for sound macroeconomic policies; |
|
66. |
Calls on donors and recipients to support improved data for MDG implementation and monitoring; |
|
67. |
Calls on the Commission to ensure that when funds are spent on infrastructure, poverty reduction remains the key focus of all projects; |
|
68. |
Acknowledges that current EU funds and facilities such as the Infrastructure Facility, the Water Facility and the Energy Facility address important issues; |
|
69. |
Calls on the EU to strengthen its partnerships with developing countries in a way that encourages mutual accountability and reciprocal obligations by establishing predictable benchmarks and deadlines for ODA increases, in order to facilitate recipient countries' planning for increases in public investment; |
|
70. |
Stresses that all means must be used to achieve the MDGs, which require the broadest possible partnerships of stakeholders, especially with developing-country national parliaments and civil society and local authorities and private partners; |
|
71. |
Trusts that agreement will be reached during the drafting of the Joint Africa-EU Strategy on the fundamental importance of reaching the MDGs by 2015; |
General budget support
|
72. |
Insists that the EU and partner governments ensure that budget support always takes the form of sector-specific budget aid that earmarks money for a specific sector in which the funding should be spent, use poverty-related targets that directly measure the outcome of policies instead of mere budgetary input and output, put in place mechanisms and monitoring tools to ensure that an adequate proportion of general budget support aid is supporting basic needs, particularly in health and education, stresses that this must be accompanied by support for capacity-building, and emphasises that a percentage of 0,5 % of the granted budget support should be reserved exclusively for civil society watchdogs; |
|
73. |
Calls on the EU to support coherent MDG management of general budget support across different parts of the executive and legislature and to provide support for scrutiny by parliaments, civil society and local authorities of budget support to ensure a strong and clear link between budget support aid and the achievement of the MDGs; |
|
74. |
Calls for national parliament and civil society participation in effective budgetary monitoring in the form of public expenditure tracking surveys (PETS) which make a detailed comparison between ‘income’ and ‘outcome’ on the basis of the DAC criteria; |
|
75. |
Calls on the EU to increase the proportion of its aid spent through direct budget support to those countries that have given proof of good governance, respect for human rights and the principles of democracy; |
|
76. |
Stresses that budget support in its common form is essentially another short-term agreement between donors and governments, with few agreements exceeding three years, and calls on donors to increase the term of the commitments they make, possibly along the lines proposed by the Commission for ‘MDG Contracts’ involving six year commitments and clear understanding and clarity as to when and how such support would be suspended; |
|
77. |
Calls on countries to focus on the implications of general budget support for women's equality and gender relations, because overall increases in financing do not necessarily overcome the unequal access and status of marginalised groups including women and people with disabilities; |
Governance
|
78. |
Recalls that the Cotonou Agreement has a framework for dialogue between EU and ACP States on governance issues and calls on the EU to strengthen this framework instead of adding new initiatives, strategies and policies; |
|
79. |
Regrets that the Commission's communication on Governance in the European Consensus on Development (COM(2006)0421), which proposes an incentive tranche for budget support, reduces the MDGs to only one of twenty-three indicators among other indicators such as trade liberalisation, counter-terrorism and migration which are irrelevant to the achievement of the MDGs, and believes that the governance instrument should be focused on the commitment of the partner country to implementing the MDGs; |
|
80. |
Urges the Commisssion to grasp the opportunity presented by the 2008 review of the governance approach to listen to the views of European and African parliaments and civil society organisations, as well as Member States and African governments, and adapt its governance approach accordingly; |
|
81. |
Reminds the governments of developing countries that progress in meeting the MDGs is frequently hindered by endemic corruption, poor governance and questionable health care strategies, and stresses that poverty will never be eliminated unless the systemic failures that cause it are likewise acknowledged, tackled and eliminated; |
|
82. |
Calls on the developing countries to improve their own prosperity potential by instituting programmes of economic liberalisation, especially in the area of property rights, which would release at a stroke substantial capital for immediate investment — which would in itself facilitate the earlier meeting of the MDGs; |
|
83. |
Calls on all bilateral and multilateral donors and export credit agencies to develop a set of conditions based on the liability of governments to their citizens and a system of partnership where non-humanitarian aid is conditional on compliance with a series of specific criteria and, in particular, public transparency about revenue streams; |
Peace and security
|
84. |
Recalls that peace and security are vital to achieving the MDGs, and therefore urges the EU to ensure that its development policies have a positive impact on peace-building; |
|
85. |
Recalls the commitment to mainstreaming conflict-sensitivity in all EU policies and instruments, as advocated in the 2001 Goteborg Programme for the Prevention of Violent Conflicts, and calls on the EU to implement the latest adopted tools to prevent conflict, such as the EU Small Arms and Light Weapons Strategy, the EU Policy Framework for Security Sector Reform and the Joint EU Concept on Disarmament, Demobilisation and Re-integration (DDR); |
|
86. |
Welcomes the fact that an arms trade treaty now has the support of 80 % of the world's governments, and urges the EU to play its part in ensuring that an international, legally binding treaty can be agreed; |
Trade
|
87. |
Calls on the EU to adopt a coherent policy between its trade, fisheries, development cooperation and common agricultural policies to avoid direct or indirect negative impacts on the economy of developing countries; |
|
88. |
Stresses that opening up trade can be one of the most effective drivers of economic growth, but that it needs to be complemented by redistributive and social domestic policies in order for poverty to be reduced; |
|
89. |
Stresses the promise of the Doha Development Round and the need for fair and equitable international rules-based trade systems designed to correct the trading imbalances in global trade, especially where Africa is concerned, calls on the EU to make the utmost effort to end the stalemate in the WTO negotiations; |
|
90. |
Notes that according to the Chair of the deadlocked Doha Round, in order to facilitate a development friendly agreement, the EU must envisage cutting its trade-distorting agricultural export subsidies by an estimated 70 % and that agreement on subsidy and tariff cuts must be reached in order for the negotiations to be concluded by the end of 2007; |
|
91. |
Believes that fair trade is an important tool in building sustainable trade with fair returns for producers in the developing world; calls on the Commission to respond to Parliament's abovementioned resolution on fair trade and development with a recommendation to support fair trade as outlined in paragraphs 1 and 2 of that resolution; |
|
92. |
Calls on the Commission to ensure that its commercial agreements contribute to, instead of hampering, the achievement of the MDGs; in particular, it should ensure that EPAs constitute instruments for ACP development and poverty eradication; |
|
93. |
Believes that pharmaceutical-related TRIPS affecting public health and access to medicines which go beyond the TRIPS Agreement should be excluded from EPAs and other future bilateral or regional agreements with low-income countries; |
|
94. |
Believes that all ACP countries must have a clear right to choose whether to extend the negotiations beyond trade in goods, and calls on the Commission to ensure that intellectual property rights and the Singapore issues (competition policy, public procurement and investment) are taken off the negotiating table if ACP countries do not wish to negotiate them; |
|
95. |
Calls on the Commission to avoid disruption of trade for the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States, and therefore urges the Commission to ensure that, if the negotiations on the Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) cannot be completed before the end of 2007, arrangements will be made to avoid uncertainty for our ACP partners; stresses that this requires a guarantee that, regardless of the state of the EPA negotiations at that time, ACP terms and conditions of access to the EU market will remain equivalent to the current ones, as agreed in the Cotonou Agreement; calls on the Commission to clarify how such arrangements could be made in order to avoid uncertainty for exporters and importers; |
|
96. |
Takes note of recent studies by UNCTAD and others which show that extensive trade liberalisation in LDCs has had little effect on sustained and substantial poverty reduction objectives and has contributed to a decline in the terms of trade of developing countries, in particular of African countries; and calls on the EU to start a sustained, sincere campaign to genuinely increase the export capacity of LDCs by promoting technical assistance to further physio-sanitary standards, property law, business skills and value addition programmes; |
|
97. |
Calls on the Commission to adjust its cooperation and trade policies as far as possible in order to help the governments of developing countries to maintain and develop public services, particularly those guaranteeing access for the population as whole to drinking water, health services, education and transport; |
|
98. |
Urges that full account be taken of the fact that ACP countries are often heavily dependent on primary commodities, which are particularly vulnerable to price fluctuations and tariff escalation, and stresses the importance of diversification, and of the development of processing industries and SMEs in those countries; |
|
99. |
Stresses the importance of capacity-building for trade and the need for additional resources from the EU to enhance ACP countries' ability to identify needs and strategies, to negotiate and to support regional integration, to diversify and prepare for liberalisation by enhancing production, supply and trading capacity and to offset adjustment costs as well as to increase their ability to attract investment; |
|
100. |
Calls on the Commission to increase its trade-related assistance to support capacity-building, which is essential if the poorest countries are to be able to tackle the increased competition resulting from market liberalisation; |
Climate change
|
101. |
Urges the EU to continue to play a leading role in promoting cleaner, more efficient approaches to sustainable and low-carbon development; |
|
102. |
Points out that poor communities in developing countries have contributed the least to climate change but are likely to suffer the effects most severely; calls on the EU to make significant funding available to enable developing countries to adapt to sea level rises and the increased strength and frequency of extreme weather events like droughts, heavy storms, flooding, etc., as well as to ensuing health, food production and water stresses, which would put development at risk and may lead to large-scale migration and security threats; |
|
103. |
Calls on the EU to make significant funding available to enable poor countries to adapt to climate change and stresses that it cannot simply be channelled from existing aid budgets; and further believes that a significant proportion of the revenue raised by auctioning allocations under the European Emissions Trading Scheme and taxing carbon should be used to fund clean development in developing countries; |
|
104. |
Stresses that adaptation must not be dealt with only as a humanitarian issue or as a priority only within the context of the climate convention; emphasises that risk reduction and ‘climate proofing’ measures must be integrated into the overarching development agenda, including in PRSPs and CSPs; |
|
105. |
Recognises that IPR licensing fees in the area of clean technology may constitute a barrier to the transfer of such technology to developing countries; stresses that in order to combat energy poverty and ensure a sustainable path of development, IPR partnerships must be developed between industrialised and developing countries, in order to ensure respect for property rights while at the same time facilitating technology flows; |
|
106. |
Stresses that although energy is not specifically addressed in the Millennium Declaration, the provision of modern energy services to the poor is a crucial prerequisite to achieving the MDGs; points out that the preconditions for renewable energy technologies are excellent in many developing countries, providing an effective way of meeting soaring oil costs and meeting energy needs while avoiding a further harmful impact on climate; regrets that insufficient financial resources have been allocated by the EU for addressing the energy poverty challenge; emphasises for this purpose the need for increased aid flows, as well as enhanced support for private investment in renewable energy technologies; |
Post-MDG agenda
|
107. |
Stresses that if the MDGs are to be achieved, the proportion of people in poverty will be halved within a decade, a huge achievement but one that will nevertheless leave hundreds of millions of poorest and most vulnerable people trapped in chronic poverty; |
|
108. |
Calls on the EU to set a date for agreement on a poverty elimination strategy post 2015; |
*

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the governments and parliaments of the Member States and the candidate countries, the Inter-Parliamentary Union, the United Nations and the Development Assistance Committee of the OECD. |

|
B. |

|
F. |
whereas the fact-finding and study visit to Malta and Spain, which was concerned with the situation of migrants from ACP countries and was the first of its kind to bring together parliamentarians from European countries and the countries of origin, has had a remarkable impact, |
|
G. |
whereas the persistence of the conflict in Darfur (Sudan) and the serious and repeated violations of human rights which occur there make effective humanitarian aid essential, |

H. |
whereas the DRC — a country which has suffered for decades — has finally embarked upon a process which promises to be constructive, thanks to the commitment shown by the Congolese players involved and by the international community, |
|
I. |

Welcomes the fact that in 2006 the JPA provided a framework for an open, democratic, in-depth dialogue on the negotiation of EPAs between the EU and the ACP sub-regions; also welcomes the adoption at Bridgetown of an urgent resolution on the stage reached in the negotiations on the EPAs, which set out the concerns of the EU and ACP representatives on their potential negative impact on the overall aim of the sustainable development of the ACP countries; |
|
2. |
Encourages the JPA to continue expressing independent positions and putting forward concrete proposals for the EPA negotiations and implementation process, so that they can be a means to foster the full involvement of civil society and national parliaments; |
|
3. |
Welcomes the fact that at the Bridgetown session the Commissioner responsible for Development and Humanitarian Aid undertook to subject the Country and Regional Strategy Papers for the ACP countries (2008-2013 period) to democratic scrutiny by the parliaments, but regrets that this has not been possible; |
|
4. |
Calls on the Commission to honour its undertaking without delay on the basis of the procedure applied under the abovementioned Regulation establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation; |
|
5. |
Calls on the ACP countries' national parliaments strongly to urge both their governments and the Commission to ensure that they, in collaboration with civil society organisations, are constantly involved in the programming, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the Country Strategy Papers relating to cooperation between the EU and their countries (2008-2013 period); |

|
10. |
Welcomes the adoption at the Vienna session of a resolution on the situation in Sudan, in which a clear view is expressed regarding responsibility for the conflict in the Darfur region; calls on the international community to take urgent and more vigorous action by common agreement with the African Union (AU) with a view to bringing the conflict, the suffering of the civilian population and the humanitarian tragedy to an end; calls on the international community to ensure the effective dispatch of a multinational force as mandated by the Security Council (particularly in Resolution 1706 of 31 August 2006); takes note that the Sudanese Government has accepted the displacement of a multinational peacekeeping force as mandated by the Security Council and hopes that it would constitute a first step to make concrete progress in the peace process in the Darfur region; |

Stresses that the organisation of meetings at regional or sub-regional level pursuant to Article 17(3) of the Cotonou Agreement must now actually take place; calls on the JPA to schedule meetings of this kind on the basis of the parliamentary structures which already exist within the ACP group; such meetings must in particular be concerned with regional cooperation in the context of conflict prevention and resolution and with the conclusion and implementation of EPAs; |
|
25. |
Notes with satisfaction that non-State players are increasingly involved in JPA sessions and that fringe events are now an essential and welcome part of the JPA; |

27. |

|
— |
having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgetary Control and the opinion of the Committee on Foreign Affairs (A6-0210/2007), |
|
A. |
whereas the MEDA Programme is the EU's principal financial instrument for the implementation of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership supporting measures to accompany the reform of economic and social structures in the Mediterranean partner countries in order to decrease the gap between the two sides of the Mediterranean region, |
|
B. |
whereas the main areas of intervention of the MEDA Programme are directly derived from the objectives of the 1995 Barcelona Declaration, which have been reaffirmed on several occasions:
|
|
C. |
whereas the average annual commitments are similar under MEDA I and MEDA II, at EUR 613 million and EUR 618 million respectively, and the indications for 2005-2006 show that such commitments will be increased to about EUR 660 million, |
|
D. |
whereas MEDA II was scheduled to provide EUR 5 350 million from 2000 to 2006 for the Euro-Mediterranean partnership, |
|
E. |
whereas the annual commitments under MEDA II varied between EUR 569 million (2000) and EUR 817 million (2006), and whereas from MEDA I to MEDA II commitments increased for Algeria, Palestinian Territories, Jordan, Morocco, Syria and Tunisia and for the regional activities, and decreased for Egypt and Lebanon,
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
F. |
whereas under MEDA II new sectors include justice and police, civil society/human rights and migration; whereas other sectors which received a marked increase in funding include education and training and economic institutional support, but for other sectors such as agriculture, local development and private reforms less funds were committed under MEDA II than under MEDA I, |
|
G. |
whereas the MEDA II Regulation specifies that European Investment Bank (EIB)-managed operations may receive EU funds from the MEDA budget for environmental projects and for implementing risk-capital operations in the Mediterranean partner countries; whereas the total volume of EIB operations under MEDA II remains comparable to that under MEDA I but their composition has changed, with a significant decrease of risk subsidy programmes and an increase of risk capital operations,
|
||||||||||||
|
H. |
whereas the EIB's operations in the Mediterranean partner countries have been brought together under the Facility for Euro-Mediterranean Investment and Partnership (FEMIP) since October 2002; |
|
I. |
whereas the MEDA Regulation came to an end in 2006 and the new European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument entered into effect in 2007, |
|
J. |
whereas from 1994 to 2006 the Commission has provided about EUR 2 300 million to the Palestinian people, including support for Palestinian refugees via UNRWA, humanitarian assistance through the European Community Humanitarian Office (ECHO), food security, Middle East Peace Process actions, and support for health, education and institution building, |
|
K. |
whereas payments to Palestinian areas have been quite stable at between EUR 233 and 260 million per year from 2002 to 2005 and varying commitment rates reflect the difficult nature of the Peace Process, but the payment/commitment ratio has increased from less than 45 % in 2000 to more than 90 % in 2005, AID TO PALESTINIAN ADMIN. AREAS FINANCED BY THE GENERAL BUDGET 2000-2006
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
L. |
whereas the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) closed in March 2005 its investigation into the Commission's direct assistance to the Palestinian Authority's budget and, on the basis of the information available in OLAF's press release of 17 March 2005, no conclusive evidence of support of armed attacks or unlawful activities financed by Commission's contributions to the Palestinian Authority was found; whereas, however, according to the press release, ‘there are consistent indications to support the hypothesis that it cannot be excluded that some of the assets of the Palestinian Authority may been used by some individuals for other than the intended purpose’, |
|
M. |
whereas the Middle East and North Africa Region Social and Economic Development Group of the World Bank has thoroughly analysed the Palestinian Authority's public finances and delivered its conclusions and recommendations in February 2007, |
|
N. |
whereas Israel has withheld Palestinian tax and customs revenues of about EUR 50 million per month, representing approximately two-thirds of the public income, since the Hamas victory in the elections to the Palestine Legislative Council in January 2006, |
|
O. |
whereas the Quartet addressed on 9 May 2006 the humanitarian situation in the Palestinian territories and in the face of the seriousness of that situation and the enormous problems of the Palestinian people asked the EU to develop and propose a temporary international mechanism (TIM) which would be limited in scope and duration, operate in a transparent manner, be accountable and ensure direct delivery of assistance to the Palestinian people, |
|
P. |
whereas the EU (EU budget and EU Member States) allocated almost EUR 700 million to Palestine in 2006, more than in any previous year; |
|
Q. |
whereas the TIM was subsequently developed by the Commission and endorsed by the European Council on 16 June 2006, |
|
R. |
whereas in 2006 the Commission allocated a total of EUR 107,5 million to the three TIM ‘windows’ of support:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
S. |
whereas fighting between Hamas and Fatah supporters in early 2007 made TIM operations extremely difficult, |
|
1. |
Confirms the conviction expressed in its resolution of 27 October 2005 on the Barcelona Process revisited that even if the Euro-Mediterranean partnership has not as yet produced the expected benefits and has not contributed to the lowering of tensions in the area to its full potential, improvements can still be made and thus the Barcelona Process continues to be the appropriate framework for Mediterranean policy, in which changes and the necessary political will are needed to obtain better results; |
|
2. |
Notes that taking a global strategic view the relevance of the MEDA Programme as the Community assistance instrument supporting the Barcelona Process and the bilateral association agreements was judged to be satisfactory according to the ‘overall judgement’ of the mid-term evaluation of the MEDA II Programme which also states that programme relevance has improved from the MEDA I to the MEDA II period and can improve further in the coming years; |
|
3. |
Underlines that the effectiveness and efficiency of MEDA management and implementation arrangements is improving but is still not fully satisfactory; |
|
4. |
Notes that in terms of financial efficiency the total MEDA II Programme has disbursed funds faster than did MEDA I: over a similar period as during MEDA I it took on average three years to reach a 30 % payment level, whereas during MEDA II this was reduced to two years;
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
5. |
Notes that according to the Court of Auditors' Special Report 5/2006 the Commission's management of the MEDA Programme has clearly improved since the early years and can be considered as satisfactory taking into account procedural and external constraints, and programming efforts have resulted in a more even allocation of resources over time; preparation periods are becoming shorter and disbursements have increased significantly; |
|
6. |
Stresses the fact that the findings of the mid-term evaluation of the MEDA II Programme and of the Court of Auditors on implementation and management effectiveness and efficiency — ‘improving but still not fully satisfactory’ — cannot by themselves explain the differences in MEDA performance between countries and programmes; notes that external factors (financial regulation, governance, cultural factors) clearly play an important role in explaining the observed differences in speed of change and in financial disbursement patterns; invites the Commission to take these factors into consideration in its planning and in implementation, monitoring and evaluation; |
|
7. |
Invites the Commission and the Council to give high priority to the Barcelona Process as a driving force for policy setting under the European Neighbourhood Policy Instrument (period 2007-2013) with more efficient policies and measures having regard to the specific challenges and problems of the Mediterranean partner countries; |
|
8. |
Recalls that according to Article 15 of the MEDA II Regulation the Commission has, together with the EIB, to produce an overall evaluation report of the assistance already provided to the Mediterranean partners, including the effectiveness of the programmes, evaluate ex post their respective projects and main sectors of intervention and examine progress in implementation, and submit to the Parliament and the Council an annual report, no later than 30 June of the following year; with respect to this obligation, invites the Commission to inform it of the current stage of elaboration of such ex post evaluations by individual projects and sectors, and to transmit these and the latest annual reports to the Parliament and the Council; |
|
9. |
Urges the Commission to take into consideration the factors contributing to the improvement of future management:
|
|
10. |
Believes that other improvements include more systematic monitoring and evaluation and more intensive dialogue and coordination with local counterparts and other donors; invites the Commission to secure more regular monitoring mechanisms adapted to each type of project; |
|
11. |
Agrees with the Court of Auditors on the need for the Commission to:
|
|
12. |
Supports the 19 recommendations of the mid-term evaluation of the MEDA II Programme regarding the relevance, effectiveness and efficiency of the management of the MEDA Programme; |
|
13. |
Calls on the Commission to maintain a balance between the effectiveness of assistance in terms of sustainable institutional development and the efficiency of assistance in terms of absorption capacity and financial disbursement speeds, transparency and budget management control; |
|
14. |
Calls on the Commission to further improve the quality of strategic and indicative programming by investing in a MEDA knowledge centre for in-depth understanding of implementation conditions and the institutional speed of changes aspects in the MEDA countries, as suggested by the mid-term evaluation in view of the revision of the regulation (European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument); |
|
15. |
Takes the view that the economic aspect of the partnership must be redirected towards social cohesion and sustainable economic development but also considers that pursuing all objectives of the Barcelona Process is important for the whole region; therefore invites the Commission to pay as much attention as possible to the issues of institution building, the rule of law, freedom of the press, human rights and gender equality; |
|
16. |
Invites the Commission to motivate and commit its partners in the MEDA countries to pursue also all non-economic objectives of the MEDA Programme, and to systematically monitor indicators concerning these objectives; |
|
17. |
Considers that, in view of the Mediterranean partner countries' economic situation, significant support is required for infrastructure projects, particularly in the fields of transport, health, housing and the supply of drinking water; |
|
18. |
Recommends that the Commission increase the capacity to manage small-scale projects based on civil society initiatives and recommends the adoption of measures to enhance economic growth and cohesion, in particular through the use of loans and micro-credit facilities by small and medium-sized enterprises in the partner countries; |
|
19. |
Stresses that respect of the principle of gender equality is a matter of respect of human rights and of democracy and calls for gender mainstreaming to be explicitly incorporated horizontally in the Barcelona Process and in the three pillars of the partnership; |
|
20. |
Underlines the fact that women play a significant role in the economic and social development of the partner countries and calls on the Commission to report on the fulfilment and effective application of the financial commitments laid down in the MEDA Programme to support women's active participation in economic and social life (education, training, employment); |
|
21. |
Recalls the significance of enhancing the complementarity and coherence between MEDA, other EU external actions and EIB activities; |
|
22. |
Considers that the Euro-Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly could play through inter-parliamentary dialogue a key role in the improvement of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership, as it subsequently develops stable inter-parliamentary relations, giving political orientations through its declarations and resolutions and promoting a systematic political control and evaluation of the implementation of the MEDA Programme; |
|
23. |
Welcomes the establishment in 2002 of FEMIP within the framework of the EIB, but calls for further discussion between the EU Member States and their Euro-Mediterranean partners with the aim of developing this initiative into a genuine financial instrument for cooperation, responding to the new needs and challenges of both the public and private sector; |
|
24. |
Recalls that the task division between DG Relex and EuropeAid is functional in the sense that the political dimension of the programme is separate from the professional assistance formulation and delivery function and that there is, however, scope for improvement in terms of efficiency and effectiveness; |
|
25. |
Acknowledges the progress made by the Commission in ensuring a higher profile for Community external cooperation and urges it to continue the efforts currently being made; deplores, however, the fact that the public is not aware of the EU's close involvement in many projects and programmes; calls on the Commission to make representations to international organisations and NGOs with a view to:
|
|
26. |
Recalls its resolution of 1 June 2006 on the humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian territories and the role of the EU in which it called on the Commission and the Council to develop a temporary international mechanism (TIM) in order to avoid a major humanitarian crisis in these territories; recalls having welcomed, following the recommendations of the European Council and the Quartet in June 2006, the setting-up by the EU of the TIM for the Palestinian Authority and its subsequent renewal; |
|
27. |
Notes that this financial stopgap measure made it possible, in a transparent manner and in partnership with the President of the Palestinian Authority, to limit the most egregious humanitarian suffering caused by the freezing of European and international financial aid, Israel's partial payment of Palestinian tax and customs revenues and the general impossibility of developing a viable economy in the current occupation situation; |
|
28. |
Congratulates the Commission on the design and implementation of the TIM under difficult circumstances and considers the administrative cost of the TIM at the level of 5% for Windows II and III (29) as modest, and the method of direct payment via commercial banks to the beneficiary households adequate; underlines moreover that under Window III the international and locally operating bank (HSBC) receives EUR 8 per transfer (3 % of the total allocated amount); |
|
29. |
Underlines that payments under the TIM did not go to, or through, the Office of the President of the Palestinian Authority or the Ministry of Finance, but that it provided for direct payment of invoices, or for cash payments to individual beneficiaries of allocations; notes that allocations did not cover security staff or support to politicians; |
|
30. |
Regrets however, that this financial assistance did not compensate for the tragic situation in Palestine and that conditions worsened in the past months in economic, social and human terms (30); |
|
31. |
Welcomes the fact that through the TIM and without the involvement of the Hamas-led Government more than 140 000 low income households comprising more than 800 000 persons could be provided directly with modest but helpful allocations under Window III, and that the operation of hospitals and other basic services could be prevented from complete breakdown due to the TIM's support for the uninterrupted supply of essential services under Window II; |
|
32. |
Regrets however the slow implementation of TIM Window I supporting the provision of essential supplies and running costs for hospitals through the World Bank's Emergency Services Support Programme (ESSP); notes that the first delivery of medicines under the ESSP took place only on 24 January 2007, to Gaza hospitals; invites the Commission to analyse the reasons for these delays and to suggest alternatives to ensure the timely implementation of the objectives of TIM Window I; |
|
33. |
Stresses that the control mechanisms and internal audit put in place by the Palestinian Authority in 2003 constitute a solid guarantee against fraud and corruption; |
|
34. |
Reiterates its call on Israel to abide by its legal obligations by resuming transfers of withheld Palestinian tax and customs revenue; invites Israel, if it refuses to do so, at least to consider channelling the withheld tax into the TIM and in this way to enable the Palestinian people to satisfy their basic needs; invites Israel to contribute to the need of the Palestinian people to create a viable and autonomous economy and to stop placing unjustified obstacles in the way of this objective; |
|
35. |
Takes note of the sound analytical work reflected in the World Bank's public expenditure review on West Bank and Gaza; welcomes the fact that according to this review the Palestinian Authority has achieved progress notably in the educational and health sectors, as compared to other Middle East and North African countries, and in governance and public financial management where the Palestinian Authority has implemented a host of reforms between 2002 and 2004 that have reduced corruption and improved transparency; invites all involved parties to reactivate the reform process and thereby seriously consider the detailed recommendations of the World Bank's report, notably those concerning civil service reform and public financial management including financial control and audit; |
|
36. |
Welcomes the fact that among the objectives and commitments (for example a recent agreement with an international audit firm) of the Ministry of Finances are the aims of reform of public finance and of full transparency and accountability, including the observance of international accounting standards; |
|
37. |
Invites all parties within the Palestinian areas to do their utmost to settle conflicts peacefully and to form and maintain a stable and effective government, able to cooperate with the international community and to use effectively the EU's and international donor's funding; |
|
38. |
Welcomes the Council decision of 18 June 2007 asking the EU to resume normal relations with the Palestinian Authority immediately in order to develop the conditions for urgent practical and financial assistance, including direct financial support to the new government, as well as to ensure the provision of emergency and humanitarian assistance to the population of Gaza (via, especially, the TIM); |
|
39. |
Considers it important for the purposes of the maintenance of public order that security forces committed to peace and stability are trained and equipped including with police arms; considers that the financing of such training and equipment must be carried out with appropriate safeguards, under the authority of the President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, so as to avoid funds being used for other purposes or illegal acts; underlines that not paying the salaries of civil servants, including the security forces, contributes to the deterioration of the political, social and economic situation in the Palestinian territories; |
|
40. |
Stresses the dangers of the current collapse of the Palestinian administrative authorities; underlines the need for the EU and the international community to go beyond their humanitarian commitment and invest once again in capacity building and security to avoid jeopardising the Palestinians' living conditions in the very long term; |
|
41. |
Calls on the Commission to consider strategies, using the TIM or another body of a permanent nature, in cooperation with other financial instruments, which could cover, in the near future, not only urgent problems but a greater number of the needs of a larger proportion of the Palestinian population; in any case, seeks to assist political and economic developments that will gradually reduce the reliance of the Palestinian Authority on international aid; |
|
42. |
Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the Court of Auditors, the EIB, the parliaments of the Member States and the governments and parliaments of the Mediterranean partners. |

Amendment 1 |

|
Recital 8a (new) |
|||||||||
|
|
(8a) The fact that different legal regimes may apply to a single criminal conviction leads to the circulation of unreliable information between Member States and creates legal uncertainty for the convicted person. To avoid this situation, the convicting Member State should be regarded as the owner of the data on criminal convictions handed down on its territory against nationals of other Member States. Accordingly, the Member State of nationality of the convicted person, to which these data will be transmitted, should ensure that they are kept up-to-date by taking into account any alteration or deletion occurring in the convicting Member State. Only data that have been kept up-to-date in this way should be used internally by the Member State of nationality or further transmitted by it to any other State, being another Member State or a third country. |

It supplements them with specific rules applying where the Member State of the person's nationality forward conviction information transmitted to it by the convicting Member State. |

The European Parliament,
|
— |
having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation (1) (DCI), |
|
— |
having regard to the draft Commission decision establishing a Regional Strategy Document 2007-2013 and a Multiannual Indicative Programme for Asia (CMT-2007-1122), |
|
— |
having regard to the opinion delivered on 8 June 2007 by the committee referred to in Article 35(1) of the abovementioned Regulation (hereinafter referred to as ‘the DCI Management Committee’), |
|
— |
having regard to Article 8 of Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (2), |
|
— |
having regard to Rule 81 of its Rules of Procedure, |
|
A. |
whereas on 8 June 2007 the DCI Management Committee voted in favour of the draft Regional Strategy Document 2007-2013 and the Multiannual Indicative Programme for Asia (CMT-2007-1122), |
|
B. |
whereas, pursuant to Article 7(3) of Decision 1999/468/EC and Point 1 of the Agreement between the European Parliament and the Commission on procedures for implementing Council Decision 1999/468/EC (3), Parliament received the results of the voting, |
|
C. |
whereas Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 stipulates that ‘the primary and overarching objective of cooperation under this Regulation shall be the eradication of poverty in partner countries and regions in the context of sustainable development’, |
|
D. |
whereas Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 stipulates that ‘measures referred to in Article 1 (1) (4) shall be designed so as to fulfil the criteria for Official Development Assistance (ODA) established by the [Development Assistance Committee of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development] OECD/DAC’, |
|
E. |
whereas, in its ‘Reporting Directives for the Creditor Reporting System’ (DCD/DAC (2002)21), the OECD/DAC defines ODA as financial flows to countries on the DAC List of ODA Recipients for which, inter alia, ‘each transaction is administered with the promotion of the economic development and welfare of developing countries as its main objective’ (5), |
|
F. |
whereas Articles 19(3) and (8) of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 stipulate respectively that ‘strategy papers shall, in principle, be based on a dialogue with the partner country or region which involves civil society and regional and local authorities’ and that ‘the Commission and the Member States shall consult each other, as well as other donors and development actors including representatives of civil society and regional and local authorities, at an early stage of the programming process in order to promote complementarity among their cooperation activities’, |
|
1. |
Takes the view that, in its draft Strategy Document 2007-2013 and draft Multiannual Indicative Programme 2007-2010 for Asia, the Commission exceeds its implementing powers laid down in the basic act by including in its Focal Sector 1 (‘support to regional integration’) the following elements, which are not in compliance with Article 2(1) and (4) of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006, as the primary objective of these elements is not the eradication of poverty and they do not fulfil the criteria for ODA established by the OECD/DAC:
|
|
2. |
Takes the view that, in its draft Strategy Document 2007-2013 and draft Multiannual Indicative Programme for Asia, the Commission exceeds its implementing powers laid down in the basic act by including in its Focal Sector 2 (‘higher education and research institutes’) — for which it earmarks about 15 % of the funds in the Multiannual Indicative Programme — the following elements, which are not in compliance with Article 2(1) and (4) of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006, as the primary objective of these elements is not the eradication of poverty and they do not fulfil the criteria for ODA established by the OECD/DAC:
|
|
3. |
Calls on the Commission to withdraw its draft decision establishing a Regional Strategy Document 2007-2013 and a Multiannual Indicative Programme for Asia, and submit to the DCI Management Committee a new draft decision fully respecting the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006; |
|
4. |
Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission and the Governments and Parliaments of the Member States. |

Fact-finding mission to the regions of Andalusia, Valencia and Madrid
European Parliament resolution of 21 June 2007 on the results of the fact-finding mission to the regions of Andalucia, Valencia and Madrid conducted on behalf of the Committee on Petitions
The European Parliament,
|
— |
having regard to Article 194 of the EC Treaty, which grants the right of petition to all EU citizens and residents of the EU, |
|
— |
having regard to Article 6 of the EU Treaty, which declares that the Union shall respect fundamental rights, as guaranteed by the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, and that it shall provide itself with the means necessary to attain its objectives and carry through its policies, |
|
— |
having regard to Rule 108(5) of its Rules of Procedure, |
|
A. |
having regard to the contents and recommendations of the report of the third fact-finding mission to Spain, approved by the Committee on Petitions on 11 April 2007, which investigated the allegations contained in a very large number of petitions concerning the abuse of the legitimate rights of European citizens to their property and detailed concerns in relation to sustainable development, environmental protection, water provision and quality, and public procurement generally in connection with insufficient control of the urbanisation procedures by local and regional authorities, |
|
B. |
having regard to its resolution adopted on 13 December 2005 on the alleged abuse of the Valencian Land Law or Ley Reguladora de la Actividad Urbanistica (LRAU — law on development activities) and its effect on European citizens (1), |
|
C. |
whereas there are reported cases of corrupt practice as regards large-scale urbanisation projects for which local officials and elected politicians have been arrested and convicted, |
|
D. |
whereas Spain has recently enacted new national framework legislation on land law, which is due to come into effect on 1 July 2007, |
|
E. |
whereas the Commission has initiated infringement proceedings against Spain for failure to apply the EU directives on public procurement in relation to urbanisation programmes in Valencia, |
|
1. |
Considers that the obligation to cede legitimately acquired private property without due process and proper compensation, and the obligation to pay arbitrary costs for unrequested and often unnecessary infrastructure development, constitute a violation of an individual's fundamental rights under the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and in the light of the case law of the European Court of Human Rights (see, for instance, Aka v. Turkey (2)) and as contained in the EU Treaty; |
|
2. |
Deeply regrets that such practices are widespread in various autonomous regions of Spain, in particular in the Valencia region and other parts of the Mediterranean coastal area, but also, for instance, in the Madrid region; |
|
3. |
Expresses its severe condemnation of, and opposition to, massive urbanisation projects initiated by construction companies and real-estate developers which bear no relation to the real requirements of the towns and villages affected, are environmentally unsustainable and have a disastrous impact on the historical and cultural identity of the areas affected; |
|
4. |
Condemns the tacit approval by some town halls for building developments which are subsequently declared illegal and which as a result lead to the destruction, or threatened destruction, of property which had been bought in good faith by European citizens through regular commercial developers and sales agents; |
|
5. |
Recognises the Commission's efforts to ensure Spain's compliance with the directives on public procurement, but considers that the Commission should pay special attention to the documented cases of infringements of directives on environmental, water and consumer policy issues; |
|
6. |
Considers it imperative that adequate measures are taken to ensure the appropriate application and enforcement of the Water Framework Directive (3) with regard to large urbanisation projects; |
|
7. |
Urges the Council and the Commission, as well as the Member State concerned, to ensure the correct application of Community law and fundamental rights for the benefit of all EU citizens and residents; |
|
8. |
Calls upon the Spanish authorities and regional governments, in particular the Valencian Government, which are under an obligation to respect and apply the provisions of the EC Treaty and EU laws, to recognise the individual's legitimate right to his legally acquired property and to establish in law more precisely defined criteria regarding the application of Article 33 of the Spanish Constitution concerning the public interest, in order to prevent and forbid the abuse of people's property rights by decisions of local and regional authorities; |
|
9. |
Calls into question the methods of designation of, and frequently excessive powers given in practice to, town planners and property developers by certain local authorities at the expense of local communities and the citizens who have their homes and legally acquired property there; |
|
10. |
Urges local authorities to consult their citizens and involve them in urban development projects in order to encourage acceptable and sustainable urban development where this is necessary, in the interest of local communities and not in the sole interest of property developers, estate agents and other vested interests; |
|
11. |
Strongly condemns the covert practice of certain property developers of undermining by subterfuge the legitimate ownership of property by European citizens by interfering with land registration, and calls upon local authorities to establish proper legal safeguards against this practice; |
|
12. |
Calls upon regional authorities to establish special administrative commissions involving local ombudsmen, to which independent investigation services should report, which should have powers of arbitration in relation to disputes concerning urbanisation projects, and which should be accessible free of charge to those directly affected by urbanisation programmes, including those who are victims of illegal property deals concerning unauthorised urban development; |
|
13. |
Considers that, where compensation is required for loss of property, it should be awarded at a suitable rate and in conformity with the case law of the European Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights; |
|
14. |
Calls on the Commission to initiate an information campaign directed at European citizens buying real estate in a Member State other than their own; |
|
15. |
Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission and the Spanish authorities and regional governments. |

Towards an arms trade treaty
European Parliament resolution of 21 June 2007 on an arms trade treaty: establishment of common international standards for the import, export and transfer of conventional weapons
The European Parliament,
|
— |
having regard to its resolutions of 15 March 2001 on the UN Conference on illicit trade in small arms and light weapons in all its aspects (1), of 15 November 2001 on small arms (2), of 19 June 2003 on implementation of the United Nations programme to combat the illegal trade in light weapons (3) and of 26 May 2005 on small arms and light weapons (4), as well as its annual resolutions on the implementation of the European Union Code of Conduct on Arms Exports, |
|
— |
having regard to its resolution of 15 June 2006 (5) on small arms and light weapons, urging the international community to start negotiations on an international Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) within the UN directly after the 2006 UN Programme of Action Review Conference in order to establish a legally binding instrument to regulate arms transfers at global level, |
|
— |
having regard to Rule 103(2) of its Rules of Procedure, |
|
A. |
welcoming the adoption of Resolution A/RES/61/89 by the UN General Assembly (UNGA) on 6 December 2006 marking the formal start of a process towards an ATT, and noting the overwhelming support which that resolution received from 153 States, indicative of a strong global political conviction that the time is ripe to end the irresponsible arms trade, |
|
B. |
noting that, as a first step, the UN Secretary-General is to seeking the views of UN members on the feasibility, scope and draft parameters for a comprehensive, legally binding instrument establishing common international standards for the import, export and transfer of conventional arms, |
|
C. |
whereas approximately 100 governments have submitted their views, and whereas the UN Office for Disarmament Affairs has indicated that, while submissions received before 20 June 2007 will be included in the report of the UN Secretary-General to be presented to the UNGA First Committee on Disarmament and International Security in October 2007, States that miss the 20 June 2007 deadline will still be able to have their submissions included as addenda to the report, |
|
D. |
whereas the abovementioned UNGA resolution of 6 December 2006 also mandates the UN Secretary-General to establish a group of governmental experts (GGE) to examine, commencing in 2008, the feasibility, scope and draft parameters for a comprehensive, legally binding instrument establishing common international standards for the import, export and transfer of conventional arms, |
|
E. |
whereas a positive outcome of this consultation process is crucially important for the purposes of laying the foundations of the future negotiations on the ATT, |
|
F. |
reaffirming that, until those negotiations have been successfully concluded, irresponsible arms transfers will continue to cause unacceptable human suffering and exacerbate armed conflict, instability, terrorist attacks, bad governance and corruption, as well as grave violations of the rule of law, human rights and international humanitarian law, and undermine sustainable development, |
|
G. |
convinced that, pending the outcome of those negotiations, States should not continue to allow previously agreed arms embargoes to be contemptuously ignored and mocked by parties to armed conflicts and unscrupulous arms suppliers, |
|
H. |
welcoming and supporting the ongoing campaigning efforts of civil society organisations, |
|
1. |
Calls on all 153 States which voted for the abovementioned UNGA resolution of 6 December 2006, which included all the EU Member States, to send their submissions supporting an ATT to the UN Secretary-General without further delay; |
|
2. |
Urges the Council to devise a programme of activities using various international fora, including NATO, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly, to encourage States to send in their submissions; |
|
3. |
Urges all States to emphasise in their submissions that the ATT should codify existing obligations under international law with respect to arms transfers, and especially those covering human rights and humanitarian law; |
|
4. |
Strongly recommends that, in order for the ATT to be effective, States base their submissions on the following parameters:
|
|
5. |
Calls on all States to support the work of, and engage with, the GGE, so as to ensure that it will make significant progress towards a meaningful ATT; |
|
6. |
Remains convinced that the success of the ATT will be critically dependent on greater openness and a new willingness to exchange information about arms transfers, including information on end-users, and that this will require the use of mechanisms, such as an improved version of the UN Register of Conventional Arms, to create a compensating and mutual guarantee of global transparency; |
|
7. |
Calls upon all States, pending the adoption of an ATT, to take efficient measures to stop the irresponsible brokering and transportation of arms, ammunition and associated military and security equipment of all types, including components and dual-use items, as well as the transfer and licensing of foreign production of such equipment to parties who are subject to international arms embargoes or who persistently commit serious violations of international human rights law or international humanitarian law; |
|
8. |
Calls in this context on all Member States to transpose the provisions of the Council's Common Position 2003/468/CFSP of 23 June 2003 on the control of arms brokering (6) into national law in order to maximise the efficiency of efforts to halt irresponsible arms brokering; |
|
9. |
Categorically denounces trade in arms and ammunition in violation of UN Security Council arms embargoes and recognises that the transport of such goods primarily takes place by air; calls upon EU Member States to enhance their cooperation with other States in this area; calls upon the competent international organisations and the appropriate regional organisations to recommend, in coordination with the air transport industry, appropriate preventive measures; |
|
10. |
Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the governments and parliaments of the Member States, the Secretary-General of the UN, the President of the UNGA, the Secretary-General of NATO, the OSCE, the African Union, the Parliamentary Forum on Small Arms and Light Weapons, the Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union and the group of NGOs known as the Arms Trade Treaty Steering Committee. |

|
— |
having regard to the report of the Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality (A6-0212/2007), |
|
A. |
whereas juvenile delinquency is inherently more dangerous than adult offending as it affects a particularly vulnerable section of the population during the formative years of personal development, exposing juveniles at a very early stage to the risk of social exclusion and stigmatisation, |
|
B. |
whereas non-attendance at school is one of the factors which increase the risk of juvenile delinquency, |
|
C. |
whereas national, European and international studies show that there has been an alarming increase in juvenile delinquency over the last two decades, |
|
D. |
whereas juvenile delinquency is becoming a matter for concern on account of the huge scale it has now assumed, owing to the fact that delinquency is starting at a younger age, the number of offences committed by children under the age of 13 is increasing and that the acts committed by young people are becoming increasingly brutal, |
|
E. |
whereas current methods of recording and presenting statistical data regarding juvenile delinquency do not correspond to actual needs and present-day circumstances, making it urgently necessary to obtain reliable statistics at national level, |
|
F. |
whereas it is difficult to classify precisely the reasons for which young people offend, the factors leading to antisocial and finally criminal forms of behaviour being different in each individual case, conditioned as they are by the experiences of each child or adolescent and the elements playing the most central role in their development: family, school, circles of friends and general economic and social circumstances, |
|
G. |
whereas the main factors contributing to juvenile delinquency are a lack of structures, communication and appropriate models within the family, often as a result of parental absence, psychopathological problems associated with physical and sexual abuse by people within the family environment, the failure of education systems to pass on social values, poverty, unemployment, social exclusion and racism; whereas additional significant factors are the strong tendency towards copying which young people develop during the formative years of their personal development, personality disorders associated with the consumption of alcohol and drugs and the portrayal by the mass media, by certain Internet sites and by video games of models of mindless, excessive and unwarranted violence, |
|
H. |
whereas deviant behaviour amongst young people does not systematically originate within the family, |
|
I. |
whereas the increase in the consumption of cannabis and other drugs and/or of alcohol by adolescents may be correlated with the increase in juvenile delinquency, |
|
J. |
whereas migrants and in particular juveniles are much more exposed to social surveys, creating the impression that the problem of juvenile delinquency occurs mainly among migrants and not throughout society as a whole, an impression which is not only inaccurate but also dangerous for society, |
|
K. |
whereas the two ‘modern’ forms of juvenile delinquency involve the formation of ‘juvenile gangs’ and increasing violence at school, these being particularly widespread in certain Member States and particularly difficult to investigate and deal with, |
|
L. |
whereas increasingly widespread developments such as violent organised juvenile gangs have prompted certain Member States to open a debate on the need to revise criminal law relating to juveniles, |
|
M. |
whereas in certain Member States the environs of and even the school playground itself (including those in affluent neighbourhoods) have become lawless areas (drug-dealing, acts of violence sometimes involving the use of knives, extortion by various means, the development of dangerous games and the phenomenon of ‘happy slapping’, involving the posting on websites of photographs of violent scenes taken with a mobile telephone), |
|
N. |
whereas recent years have seen a progressive revision of national criminal law relating to juveniles and this revision should be geared to preventive measures, judicial and extrajudicial measures and reeducation and rehabilitation measures, including therapy where necessary; stressing, however, that it is very often unfeasible to implement these new measures in practice owing to a lack of suitable, modern facilities and trained specialist personnel, to limited funding and sometimes to a lack of will on the part of those involved or to inherent faults in the system, |
|
O. |
whereas the flood of images of extremely violent scenes and of pornographic material carried on the various media, such as games, television and the Internet, and the exploitative media portrayal of juvenile victims and perpetrators in many cases border on violations of the fundamental rights of children and are instrumental in trivialising violence, |
|
P. |
noting that, according to the statistics published in certain Member States, between 70 % and 80 % of juvenile delinquents who are punished when they commit their first offence do not re-offend; |
|
Q. |
having regard to the articles and studies published in certain Member States which reveal an increase in the number of acts of violence perpetrated by adolescents on their parents and the powerless state in which the latter find themselves, |
|
R. |
having regard to the fact that organised crime networks sometimes employ juvenile delinquents for their activities, |
|
S. |
whereas a special working group was set up, within the framework of the European Crime Prevention Network founded in 2001, in order to combat juvenile delinquency and which has begun to draw up a detailed comparative study in the 27 Member States as a basis for future EU policy developments in that field, |
|
1. |
Stresses that juvenile delinquency can be effectively combated only by adopting an integrated strategy at national and European level which will mesh three guiding principles: prevention, extrajudicial and judicial measures and the social inclusion of all young people; |
Policies at national level
|
2. |
Stresses that it is crucially important for all stakeholders in society to be directly involved in the planning and implementation of an integrated national strategy i.e., the State as central administration, regional and local authorities, educational institutions, the family, NGOs and especially youth NGOs, civil society and every individual; maintains that it is essential to have adequate financial resources available in order to implement effective measures to combat juvenile delinquency; |
|
3. |
Maintains that, in order to effectively combat juvenile delinquency, an integrated and effective school, social, family and educational policy must be implemented which will help to ensure that social and civic values are passed on and that young people adjust to society at an early age; considers that there is also a need for a policy geared to greater economic and social cohesion and to reducing social inequalities and countering social exclusion and poverty, with particular reference to child poverty; |
|
4. |
Considers it necessary that families, educators and society should convey values to young people from their infancy; |
|
5. |
Considers that preventing juvenile delinquency also requires state policies in other areas, including housing, employment, vocational training, leisure and youth exchanges; |
|
6. |
Recalls that families, schools and society in general must work together to combat the growing phenomenon of juvenile violence; |
|
7. |
Emphasises the specific role that the family plays in all stages of this fight against juvenile delinquency and requests the Member States to develop adequate support for parents; notes, in certain cases, the need for parents to be involved to a greater extent and to be made more aware of their responsibilities; |
|
8. |
Encourages the Member States to ensure that their national policies include provision for one-year parental leave which would enable families that so wish to devote particular attention to the initial upbringing of their child (which is of such great importance to a child's emotional development); |
|
9. |
Calls on the Member States to give particular assistance to families with financial and social problems; takes the view that measures to cover essential needs in terms of housing, food, guaranteed access to basic education and medical care for all family members, in particular children, together with action to ensure access on equal terms to the employment market and to social, economic and political activities for family members will ensure a healthy and equitable family environment for the child's development and its initial steps towards social integration; |
|
10. |
Calls on the Member States to provide resources for the expansion of an efficient psychosocial advice service, including contact points for problem families affected by juvenile delinquency; |
|
11. |
Stresses the particular importance of schools and school communities in shaping the character of children and adolescents; stresses that, if the education system fails to provide suitable channels for intervention, assistance and contact with students, two fundamental characteristics of present-day schools, multiculturalism coupled with an increased distinction between social classes, may lead to violence within schools; |
|
12. |
Calls on the Member States in this context to issue the education authorities with the necessary guidelines regarding an up-to-date approach to conflict management at school by means of conciliation procedures involving pupils, parents, teachers and local authorities; |
|
13. |
Considers it essential to provide special training for teachers in the management of heterogeneous classes, enabling them to develop an educational approach based not on moralising but on prevention and solidarity, avoiding the stigmatisation and marginalisation of both juvenile perpetrators and victims among their pupils; |
|
14. |
Calls on the Member States in addition to include within their educational policies the provision of special counselling and psychological support for children encountering problems of social integration, the availability of medical care in each school and the appointment of social workers, sociologists/criminologists, child psychologists and experts in issues relating to juvenile delinquency, each serving a small number of educational institutions, close checks on alcohol and drug consumption among pupils, measures to combat all forms of discrimination against members of the school community, the appointment of a community ombudsman acting as an intermediary between the school and the community and cooperation between various school communities in drawing up and implementing programmes to prevent violence; |
|
15. |
Calls on the Member States and the relevant national and regional authorities to implement strictly and fully Community and national legislation on the monitoring of television broadcasting and other content possibly of a particularly violent nature or unsuitable for juveniles; calls on the Member State authorities to reach agreement with the media on a ‘road map’ upholding the rights of the child and in particular those of juvenile offenders, involving a ban on the broadcasting of extremely violent images at certain times of the day and prohibiting the revelation of the identity of those involved in juvenile delinquency; |
|
16. |
Recommends that the Member States improve the quality of youth centres and enhance their role as a meeting place for young people and observes that the admission of juvenile offenders to such centres would facilitate their social reintegration and encourage a feeling of being a member of society; |
|
17. |
Stresses that the media can play an important role in preventing juvenile delinquency by providing information and increasing public awareness as well as by means of high quality broadcasts, focusing on the positive contribution that young people make to society while at the same time monitoring broadcasts involving violence, pornography or drugs under ‘road map’ agreements in order to protect the rights of the child; |
|
18. |
Stresses furthermore (in connection with the fight against juvenile delinquency) the value of introducing measures in the Member States which will provide alternative forms of punishment to confinement, and also educational measures at the discretion of the national courts, such as community service, reparation and mediation with victimsand vocational training, depending on the seriousness of the offence and the delinquent's age, personality and level of maturity; |
|
19. |
Urges the Member States to adopt new innovatory legal measures in response to the problem, such as the direct involvement, in criminal proceedings, of the parents or guardians of juveniles from prosecution up to the implementation of sentences, accompanied by education and intensive psychological support measures, placing juveniles with foster families where considered necessary, together with support, in the form of advice and information, for parents, teachers and pupils in connection with violent behaviour by juveniles at school; |
|
20. |
Points out that, in the case of juvenile delinquency, the conduct and duration of judicial proceedings, the choice of the measure to be adopted and the subsequent implementation thereof must be guided by the overriding interest of the child and observance of the procedural law of each Member State; stresses in this connection that imprisonment must be ordered only as a last resort and that any prison sentence must be served in facilities suitable for juvenile delinquents; |
|
21. |
Calls on the Member States, in the framework of an integrated approach to juvenile delinquency, to earmark separate budget appropriations specifically for measures to prevent juvenile delinquency, increase funding for social and workplace integration for young people and for the improvement and modernisation of central and regional facilities for juvenile offenders and for the provision of specialist and ongoing training for all individuals involved in a professional capacity and all organisations concerned; |
Towards a European strategy
|
22. |
Recommends that the Member States, in cooperation with the Commission, draw up and adopt immediately a number of minimum standards and guiding principles common to all Member States in relation to juvenile delinquency, focusing on the three basic pillars of (firstly) prevention, (secondly) judicial and extrajudicial measures and (thirdly) rehabilitation and social integration or reintegration, on the basis of the principles internationally established under the Beijing rules and the Riyadh guidelines, the United Nations' Convention on the Rights of the Child and other international conventions in this field; |
|
23. |
Maintains that the objective of a common European approach should be to define models for intervention in order to deal with and manage juvenile delinquency, while recourse to custodial measures and punishment should constitute a last resort and be implemented only when judged to be absolutely necessary; |
|
24. |
Notes that the inclusion and participation of young people in all issues and decisions concerning them is vital if common solutions are to be found that will prove successful; considers, therefore, that care should be taken when appointing youth court jurors to ensure not only that they have experience in youth education but also that they are trained in problems linked to violence and young people; |
|
25. |
Calls on the Commission to lay down specific criteria for all Member States for the collection of national statistics in order to ensure that they are comparable and therefore usable during the planning of a range measures at European level; calls on the Member States to take an active part in the Commission's work by circulating and providing information from all of the competent national, regional and local authorities and from associations, NGOs and other civil society organisations operating in this field; |
|
26. |
Calls upon the Commission and the Member States' national and local authorities to learn from best practice in operation within the Member States which activate the whole of society and include positive action and intervention on the part of parents' associations and NGOs in schools and local residents, and to assess the experiments that have been conducted in the Member States as regards cooperation agreements between police authorities, educational establishments, local authorities, youth organisations and social services at local level (with due regard to the rule of shared confidentiality), together with national strategies and national youth programmes; calls upon the Member States to learn from best practice currently in operation within those States in order to combat the worrying increase in drug consumption by juveniles and in related delinquency, and from the most effective solutions to be applied in the event of problematic consumption, with particular regard to healthcare; |
|
27. |
Welcomes national initiatives that include positive integration measures such as the ‘out-of-school youth worker scheme’ now being launched in regions such as La Rioja; |
|
28. |
Calls on the Commission and the Member States as an initial measure to develop existing European resources and programmes encompassing measures to cope with and prevent juvenile delinquency and facilitate satisfactory social reintegration of perpetrators and victims, examples being:
|
|
29. |
Stresses the need for close cooperation and networking between all judicial and police authorities at national and Community levels as regards the investigation and resolution of cases of missing children who are the victims of juvenile delinquency, taking as a basis the specific objectives of the EU Strategy on the Rights of the Child as presented in the Commission's Communication; |
|
30. |
Stresses that one means of preventing and combating juvenile delinquency is to develop a communication policy that will raise public awareness of the issues, put an end to violence in the mass media and promote audiovisual media whose scheduling is not exclusively centred on violent programmes; calls, in this connection, for European standards placing restraints on the promotion of violence in both broadcast and print media to be laid down; |
|
31. |
Notes that the Television Without Frontiers Directive (Directive 89/552/EEC (10)) sets strict limits regarding the broadcasting of violent images or, more generally, images unsuitable for the education of children, a measure designed to prevent violence by and against juveniles; calls on the Commission to take further steps in this direction, extending existing obligations to cover mobile telephony and the Internet, something which should be one of the fundamental political priorities in connection with the abovementioned Commission communication on the rights of the child; |
|
32. |
Welcomes the entry into force of the self-regulatory framework for European companies concerning the safer use of mobile telephones by juveniles and children and accordingly stresses the need for the Commission to make specific proposals binding at European level to ensure safety awareness and vigilance with regard to Internet navigation and the use of mobile telephones; |
|
33. |
Calls on the Commission to continue its work on setting up a free Europe-wide telephone hotline for children and young people with problems, since such hotlines can make a significant contribution to preventing juvenile delinquency; |
|
34. |
Calls on the Commission to propose, once the necessary studies have been completed at European level, an integrated Community framework programme with Community preventive measures, support for NGO initiatives and international cooperation and the funding of pilot programmes at regional and local levels, which will be based on best national practice, will attempt to promote these practices throughout Europe and will also cover social and educational infrastructure requirements; |
|
35. |
Stresses that there are two basic lines of Community action which should be taken into consideration forthwith:
|
|
36. |
Calls on the Commission in this context to draw up a programme of co-funded measures, to include:
|
|
37. |
Recommends that the Commission, in preparing the way for the European Juvenile Delinquency Observatory and the related framework programme, propose forthwith the following measures for the promotion and dissemination of experience and know-how:

External dimension of the area of freedom, security and justice
European Parliament resolution of 21 June 2007 on an area of freedom, security and justice: Strategy on the external dimension, Action Plan implementing the Hague programme (2006/2111(INI))
The European Parliament,
|
— |
having regard to Articles 2, 6 and Title VI of the Treaty on European Union (TEU) and Title IV of the Treaty establishing the European Community (TEC) dealing with the strengthening of the European Union as an area of freedom, security and justice (AFSJ), |
|
— |
having regard to the Presidency Conclusions and the objectives defined by successive European Councils since 1999 in the field of the external dimension of the AFSJ, including the Council of 14 and 15 December 2006, |
|
— |
having regard to the proposal from the Commission on a Council framework decision on certain procedural rights in criminal proceedings throughout the European Union (COM(2004)0328), |
|
— |
having regard to the proposal from the Commission on a Council framework decision on the protection of personal data processed in the framework of police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters (COM(2005)0475), |
|
— |
having regard to the Communication from the Commission on a Strategy on the External Dimension of the area of freedom, security and justice (COM(2005)0491) and to the Commission's progress report on the implementation of that strategy (SEC(2006)1498), |
|
— |
having regard to the Council's Strategy for the External Dimension of Justice and Home Affairs: Global Freedom, Security and Justice, adopted on 1 December 2005 (hereafter called ‘the Strategy’) and to the Council's report on the implementation of that Strategy for the year 2006, endorsed at the 2768th JHA Council of 4 and 5 December 2006, |
|
— |
having regard to the JHA external relations Multi-Presidency Work Programme (5003/1/7) adopted on 23 January 2007, to the Council's Action-Oriented Paper on improving cooperation on organised crime, corruption, illegal immigration and counter-terrorism between the EU and the Western Balkans (9360/06), the Action-Oriented Paper on increasing EU support for combating drug production in and trafficking from Afghanistan, including transit routes (9305/06) (both adopted by the JHA Council on 1 and 2 June 2006) and to the Action-Oriented Paper on Implementing with Russia the Common Space of freedom, security and justice (15534/06), adopted on 11 November 2006, |
|
— |
having regard to its previous annual debates on AFSJ and resolutions focused on the external dimension thereof (terrorism, CIA, data protection, migration, trafficking, fighting drugs, money laundering), |
|
— |
having regard to its recommendation of 14 October 2004 to the Council and to the European Council on the future of the area of freedom, security and justice as well as the measures required to enhance the the legitimacy and effectiveness thereof (1), |

|
— |
having regard to the report of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs and the opinion of the Committee on Foreign Affairs (A6-0223/2007), |
|
A. |
whereas the external dimension of the AFSJ is growing as the internal area of freedom, security and justice progressively takes shape under the pressure of an increasingly interconnected world and of the inherent international character of threats such as terrorism, organised crime and challenges such as migration flows; and whereas the external projection of values underpinning the AFSJ is essential in order to safeguard the respect of the rule of law, fundamental rights, security and stability inside the EU, |
|
B. |
whereas, by adopting and implementing a coherent strategy for the external dimension of the AFSJ, the EU increases its credibility and its influence in the world and whereas the Strategy can only be accomplished in close cooperation with third countries, including allies such as the United States, and international organisations, |
|
C. |
whereas this strategy is an important step towards establishing an internal AFSJ by creating a secure external environment as well as advancing the EU's external relations by promoting the rule of law, democratic values, respect for human rights and sound institutions, |
|
D. |
whereas the reinforcement of a true balance between security and justice should be reflected during the preparation and implementation of all the various policies carried out for the purpose of attaining a real and sustainable area of freedom, security and justice, |
|
E. |
whereas the political coherence and efficiency of the EU's external action is currently hindered by:
|
|
F. |
whereas the EU has a number of policy instruments at its disposal to help implement the Strategy on the external dimension of the AFSJ, such as bilateral agreements (association agreements, partnership and cooperation agreements, stabilisation and association agreements), the EU's enlargement and preaccession process, the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) Action Plans, regional cooperation, individual agreements (with the United States, Japan, China, etc), operational cooperation, development policy and external aid, |
Presents the following recommendations to the Council and Commission for their consideration:
Improving democratic accountability in the external dimension of the AFSJ
|
1. |
Urges the European Council to follow Parliament's present and future recommendations dealing with the EU's external strategy in the AFSJ; recalls that Parliament has an essential role to play in strengthening the accountability of the EU's external action; |
|
2. |
Urges the Council Presidency and the Commission:
|
|
3. |
Urges the Council to activate the passerelle clause in Article 42 TEU, simultaneously with the constitutional process going forward, which would bring the provisions concerning police and judicial cooperation on criminal matters within the scope of the Community framework, leading to greater efficiency, transparency and accountability, as well as democratic and judicial control; therefore urges the Commission to submit to the Council before October 2007 a formal proposal for a decision activating Article 42 TEU; considers that internal coherence could be improved by the entry into force of the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe, in particular by the establishment of the office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and an external diplomatic service; |
|
4. |
Calls on the Council to expedite in particular the adoption of framework decisions with regard to the storage, use and exchange of information on criminal convictions and to the codification of procedural rights in criminal proceedings throughout the EU, such as the abovementioned Commission proposal (COM(2004)0328); |
As far as the main objectives of the Strategy are concerned
|
5. |
Welcomes the principles set out in the Strategy, especially the need for a partnership with third countries in order to tackle common problems and meet shared policy objectives; stresses the need to coordinate the broad range of instruments at the EU's disposal in order to deliver a tailored and coherent response; emphasises, in addition, the need to coordinate the actions of the Member States and the Commission in order to ensure complementarity and to avoid duplication; considers, given the importance attached by the EU and the Member States to the construction of the AFSJ, that a high level of third-country cooperation in these fields should have a positive impact on their relations with the EU; |
|
6. |
Highlights the need for the EU to use its conventional relations and instruments with third countries as an incentive for them to adopt and implement relevant international standards and obligations on JHA issues; |
|
7. |
Recalls the need to rationalise the work of the Community institutions and the use of existing instruments, and to coordinate the actions of the Member States and actions at EU level in order to ensure a coherent and effective response in the EU's relations with third countries and to avoid duplication; stresses the need for balanced development of the internal and external dimensions of AFSJ; |
|
8. |
Stresses the need for Parliament to improve the coherence of its external relations activities, which involve a wide array of actors; therefore, calls for the streamlining of activities pertaining to human rights, democratic governance and the rule of law in third countries and in the external dimension of security; |
|
9. |
Calls on the Council to further clarify its policies as regards the external dimension of the AFSJ and to ensure coordination between geographic Council working groups and groups dealing with justice, freedom and security matters; |
|
10. |
Notes that it is essential to improve cross-pillar coordination between, and to avoid the duplication of, the various instruments belonging to the AFSJ, the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP), the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and the Community; stresses that the effectiveness of such coordination should be subject to constant review by Parliament; welcomes the steps taken towards improved coherence in integrated civil-military cooperation of the ESDP, particularly in the field of crisis management; |
|
11. |
Stresses that the planning process of ESDP operations should take into account various flanking or follow-on measures provided by Community instruments in areas pertaining to the rule of law, arms and drugs trafficking, trafficking of women and children, the prevention and the fight against terrorism and organised crime and post-conflict stabilisation, particularly with regard to the Stability Instrument and the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument; |
|
12. |
Believes that the time is ripe to overcome political impediments to deeper transatlantic cooperation in the broader dimension of freedom and security, on a basis of respect for fundamental rights, for example in the areas of the fight against drug trafficking, organised crime and terrorism, in particular in view of the future civilian ESDP operations in Kosovo and Afghanistan, and in the areas of women's rights and the exchange and protection of personal data; recalls, in this connection, Parliament's calls for the closure of the jail at Guantanamo, stressing that its existence is sending out a negative signal on how to combat terrorism; |
|
13. |
Urges the promotion, by Member States individually, collectively, and in all appropriate bilateral and international fora, of the diplomatic and peaceful resolution of conflicts around the world, while avoiding the use or the perception of the use of double standards in the pursuit of Europe's foreign, security and human rights policies; |
|
14. |
Calls for better cooperation between the EU and international organisations, in particular with the Council of Europe and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe, and stresses the need for enhanced regional dialogue and cooperation on justice, freedom and security issues; |
|
15. |
Calls on the Commission to strengthen its efforts to support regional cooperation on justice, freedom and security issues through existing bodies, such as the African Union, by encouraging new initiatives in areas where regional cooperation is weak, such as the Middle East and Eastern Europe; |
|
16. |
Calls on the Commission to continually monitor implementation against the objectives and priorities set in the Strategy and to report on it every 18 months; calls on the Commission to regularly assess the effectiveness of the use of funding in the fields covered by the Strategy; calls on the Council to review progress and priorities on a regular basis, since the external dimension of the AFSJ is growing rapidly; |
Strengthening security and human rights
|
17. |
Urges the Council, the Commission and the Member States:
|
|
18. |
Advises the Commission, the Member States and the Council to consider the possibility of supplementing activities funded in the field of freedom, security and justice with third countries and regions by providing specific funding for human rights protection and compliance projects; |
|
19. |
Expresses its concern over the lack of commitment to fundamental rights in the case of certain third countries with which the EU has close links, especially the countries benefiting from the neighbourhood policy and the Russian Federation, where breaches of the freedom of the press and freedom of expression, in particular, occur, and calls for a more intensive dialogue with those countries on that issue; |
|
20. |
Is also concerned about compliance with human rights standards by the EU itself, noting the recent example of the CIA-led rendition programmes and all the related questionable practices of several Member States; |
|
21. |
Calls on the EU and Member States to fully observe the principle of non-extradition to countries where the persons extradited would suffer torture and/or the death penalty; calls on the Council and the Commission to urge the countries with which it has close relations to abolish such practices and to ensure that all persons have a right to a fair trial; |
|
22. |
Expresses its deep concern at the inadequate legal safeguards in place for EU citizens in cases of personal data being made available to third countries, notably in cases such as PNR, SWIFT and the collection of telecommunication records by the FBI; reiterates its request to the Commission to carry out an inquiry into which categories of personal data belonging to Union citizens are being accessed and used by third countries in their own jurisdictions; stresses that data sharing must take place on a proper legal basis, with clear rules and criteria, in line with Community legislation on the adequate protection of privacy and civil liberties; believes that data sharing with the US must take place in the proper legal context of transatlantic cooperation, and on the basis of EU-US agreements, while bilateral agreements are not acceptable; |
|
23. |
Regrets the lack of democratic oversight in EU-US relations created by the High Level Contact Group which is composed of representatives of the Commission, the Council and US governmental representatives of the Departments of Justice and of Homeland Security and excludes the European Parliament, national parliaments as well as the US Congress from this dialogue; |
|
24. |
Recommends a single data protection policy covering both the first and the third pillar; recalls that discrepancies between them affect not only citizens' rights to the protection of their personal data, but also the efficiency of law enforcement and mutual trust between the Member States; to that effect, calls on the Council to adopt, as soon as possible, the proposal for a Council framework decision on the protection of personal data (COM(2005)0475); |
Providing Union citizens with a high level of security against terrorism and organised crime
|
25. |
Considers that EU counter-terrorism policy should comply fully with the principles of democratic legitimacy, proportionality, efficiency and respect for human rights, in line with the conclusions of Parliament's abovementioned resolution of 14 February 2007 on the alleged use of European countries by the CIA for the transportation and illegal detention of prisoners (2); |
|
26. |
Calls on the Commission and the Council to apply, in the context of the fight against international terrorism, the conclusions of the Temporary Committee on Alleged use of European countries by the CIA for the transport and illegal detention of prisoners, as adopted by Parliament on 14 February 2007; recommends, in particular, that all the Community institutions should exercise vigilance in order to ensure that the Member States' security concerns under no circumstances undermine respect for the human rights of all individuals, including terrorist suspects; |
|
27. |
Calls on the Community institutions and the Member States to take all possible measures to limit cooperation with third countries that protect and/or fund terrorist organisations; and stresses that a state must fully renounce terrorism before it may benefit from better relations with the EU; urges those states that have not done so to sign and/or ratify all of the UN conventions on terrorism; |
|
28. |
Emphasises the multifaceted nature of the responses available to the EU, in the field of external action, to combat terrorism and emphasises the need to coherently use all available means; calls on Member States to further work towards a common UN definition of terrorism; |
|
29. |
Recalls the need to assess the effectiveness of international initiatives in the field of anti-terrorism measures (e.g. current revision of the US Patriot Act); emphasises the importance of a proper Community policy on terrorism, as the effectiveness of counter-terrorism measures will improve significantly if the EU speaks with one voice when negotiating such measures with third countries; |
|
30. |
Recalls the need to enhance cooperation with all leading regional States in fields concerning the fight against terrorism, terrorist recruitment and financing and the protection of critical infrastructure, in a context of respect for fundamental rights and the values of the Union; |
|
31. |
Calls on the Council to enhance the dialogue with other third countries, to support the development of institutional and capacity building, to further develop and implement the national action plans to counter corruption effectively and to insert counter-terrorism clauses in agreements signed with third countries; considers that greater funding and the use of the newly created Community instruments are needed in this area; |
|
32. |
Urges those States that have not done so to sign and/or ratify instruments such as the UN Convention Against Corruption, the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and the three Protocols thereto against the Smuggling of Migrants, Trafficking in Persons and the Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, and the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance; |
|
33. |
Calls on the Council to require the EU's third-country partners to conclude, if they have not already done so, unified extradition agreements using as a model the agreements negotiated with the US on extradition and mutual legal assistance in penal matters for the extradition of alleged terrorist and criminal suspects to stand trial; |
|
34. |
Stresses the need to ratify the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime in order to prevent the misuse, for terrorist and criminal purposes, of data and telecommunications networks accessed from computer systems in third countries; |
|
35. |
Calls on the Commission and the Council to create standardised procedures for monitoring the production, storage, trade, transport, import and export of arms, explosives and weapons in order to prevent their misuse both within the EU and in third countries; |
Strengthening police and judicial cooperation and borders management
|
36. |
Calls for more effective police and judicial cooperation, including improved common use of national resources such as liaison officers; stresses that, while the development of institutional capacity and operational cooperation are important in those fields, the EU's activities should be carried out in support of universal standards in relation to human rights; |
|
37. |
Recommends that Europol should soon be given the power to organise and coordinate operational actions and investigations, to participate in joint investigation teams and to deploy its own liaison officers in priority regions, such as the Western Balkans; |
|
38. |
Recommends that the EU should negotiate, on the basis of Article 30 TEU, standard police cooperation agreements with the US, ENP countries and other partners; demands that Parliament, as the legitimate democratic representative of the citizens concerned by such an agreement, be actively involved in the dialogue with the US Congress during the negotiations on the future agreement; |
|
39. |
Supports the progress made as regards the information exchange between the EU and Russia but recalls that improvements are still possible, especially in the field of organised crime and terrorism; |
|
40. |
Observes that significant improvements are necessary in EU-Russia cooperation in order to reduce the sources of instability in the EU and the ENP area, such as frozen conflicts in Moldova and Georgia and the violent radical tendencies among the Russian minorities in the EU Member States; |
|
41. |
Urges the Council Presidency and the Commission to conclude international private law conventions which are necessary to safeguard the interests of European citizens in third countries and to work towards the reinforced credibility of the Union and its Member States in this process; |
|
42. |
Welcomes the agreements on extradition and on judicial cooperation in criminal matters between the EU and the US, which can be considered as a true success; notes that Congress has begun the ratification process for those agreements, and calls on all the EU Member States to do the same; welcomes, in addition, the Eurojust-US cooperation agreement; |
|
43. |
Calls on the US and all other countries which impose entry visa requirements on selected EU Member States to immediately lift the visa requirement and to treat all citizens of EU Member States equally; regrets the inclusion of an additional ‘information sharing clause’ (a PNR clause) in the proposed changes to the US Visa Waiver Programme; |
|
44. |
Considers that the EU and the US are crucial and loyal allies in the fight against terrorism and that an international agreement must be concluded in order to ensure that SWIFT complies with Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (3); calls for that international agreement to enshrine the necessary safeguards against any misuse of data for economic and commercial purposes; points out that SWIFT should cease its current practice of reproducing all data on its US mirror site; |
|
45. |
Insists on the fact that effective border controls are crucial to the fight against illegal immigration, and can prove useful in certain cases for combating organised crime and terrorism; |
|
46. |
Recommends that Frontex should play an operational role in the management of the external borders through an increase in its operational capacities and the provision of sufficient financial, human and technical resources, in application of the principle of solidarity and mutual assistance between Member States that all should share the burden of managing the Union's external borders; |
|
47. |
Calls for further support to be given to the new Member States in their continued efforts to secure the new eastern external borders of the EU; |
|
48. |
Supports the increased role of Eurojust and the harmonisation of the powers of its national members, which should enhance its ability to efficiently coordinate and initiate investigations and prosecutions; |
Strengthening international solidarity as regards migration, readmission and asylum policies
|
49. |
Recommends that the Council adopt a common EU migration policy, including relevant measures to meet effectively the challenges of both legal and illegal immigration; in this context calls for the implementation of the conclusions adopted eight years ago at the Tampere European Council and confirmed by the Lahti informal European Council, of the Hague Programme, and of the conclusions of the December 2006 European Council with regard to the need to apply the global immigration strategy adopted in 2005; |
|
50. |
Points out that immigration can bring about considerable benefits if properly managed, in solidarity and partnership with third countries, and that the integration of immigrants should be a key component of future EU migration policy; stresses that the EU's actions, aimed at improving the capacity of third countries to manage migration flows and their borders, must be carried out within an effective development policy, taking into account the specific economic and social situation and tackling the real sources of both legal and illegal migration, such as poverty and inadequate human rights in the countries concerned, and should include both aid to assist their capacity to manage migratory flows and aid for effective development and co-development; |
|
51. |
Calls on the Council to introduce co-decision and qualified majority voting in the fields of legal migration and integration in order to improve decision-making and to complete the process begun in 2005 when the Community method was extended to illegal migration and border controls; |
|
52. |
Calls on the Council and the Commission to make all possible efforts to ensure that the authorities of the countries of origin and transit cooperate effectively with the EU in order to prevent illegal immigration and combat the organisations involved in the trafficking of people; also calls on the Council and the Commission to undertake a regular assessment of the degree of cooperation of the third countries concerned as regards illegal immigration; stresses, in this connection, the importance of the third-country monitoring and evaluation mechanism for the fight against illegal immigration created by the Council in 2003 following the initiative of the European Council of 19 and 20 June 2003, held in Thessaloniki; |
|
53. |
Calls for the establishment, without undue delay, of a common European asylum system and urges the Council to remove any barriers to its creation; |
|
54. |
Considers the conclusion of readmission agreements as a priority within the wider strategy of combating illegal immigration; recalls the need to have clear, transparent and fair common rules on return; is concerned that readmission agreements signed on behalf of the EU do not explicitly exclude asylum-seekers from the scope of the agreements and may, therefore, involve the readmission of asylum-seekers whose claims have not yet been determined on their merits, or whose claims have been rejected or deemed inadmissible pursuant to the application of the ‘safe third country’ concept; calls for safeguards to ensure that the principle of non-refoulement is upheld; |
|
55. |
Recommends negotiating directives on visa facilitation with third countries where possible and on the basis of reciprocity, with a view to developing a real partnership on migration management issues; calls on the Council to encourage the Member States to reduce the cost of visas in order to encourage democratic developments in ENP countries and to avoid creating, in the name of security, further barriers to the legitimate ordinary traveller; |
|
56. |
Supports the Regional Protection Programmes developed by the Commission in close cooperation with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the third countries involved, and recalls that it is important to ensure that those who need protection are able to secure it as quickly as possible, regardless of which country or region they are in; |
*

|
57. |
Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the European Council, the Council, the Commission, as well as to the governments and parliaments of the Member States. |

Framework decision on combating racism and xenophobia
European Parliament recommendation to the Council of 21 June 2007 concerning the progress of the negotiations on the framework decision on action to combat racism and xenophobia (2007/2067(INI))
The European Parliament,
|
— |
having regard to the proposal for a recommendation to the Council, tabled by Martine Roure on behalf of the PSE Group, concerning the progress of the negotiations on the framework decision on action to combat racism and xenophobia (B6-0076/2007), |
|
— |
having regard to its position of 4 July 2002 on combating racism and xenophobia (1), |
|
— |
having regard to Joint Action 96/443/JHA of 15 July 1996 adopted by the Council on the basis of Article K.3 of the Treaty on European Union concerning action to combat racism and xenophobia) (2), (‘the Joint Action’) |
|
— |
having regard to the Commission proposal for a Council framework decision on combating racism and xenophobia (COM(2001)0664) (3), |
|
— |
having regard to the proposal for a 2005 Council framework decision entitled ‘Luxembourg Compromise’ (4), |
|
— |
having regard to the proposal for a Council framework decision of January 2007 (5), |
|
— |
having regard to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of 16 December 1966 and in particular Article 20(2) thereof, |
|
— |
having regard to the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination of 21 December 1965, |
|
— |
having regard to the Additional Protocol to the Convention on Cybercrime of 28 January 2003, concerning the criminalisation of acts of a racist and xenophobic nature committed through computer systems (6), |
|
— |
having regard to Rule 114(3) and Rule 94 of its Rules of Procedure, |
|
— |
having regard to the report of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (A6-0151/2007), |
|
A. |
whereas the annual reports of the European Monitoring Centre against Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC), its comparative reports on racist crime and its two recent reports on anti-Semitism and Islamophobia demonstrate that racist crime is a constant and persistent problem in all the Member States: it is estimated that over 9 million people were victims of a racist crime in 2004, |
|
B. |
whereas 2007 has been declared the European Year of Equal Opportunities for All and whereas particular emphasis should be placed in the course of this year on combating all forms of discrimination, |
|
C. |
whereas it is necessary to maintain a balance between respect for freedom of expression and the fight against racism and xenophobia, |
|
D. |
whereas, although a criminal policy in this area is desirable, it must take into account the fact that within a culture based on rights and freedoms, criminal law is always the last recourse to be used as sparingly as possible; whereas, also, legislative policy in this area must be weighted in the light of all the values at stake and in particular in the light of the conflict between freedom of expression and the right of every human being to equal consideration and respect, |
|
E. |
whereas freedom of expression and association should be protected, unless it is exercised in order to advocate the use of force, violence or hatred, is intended to incite or give rise to unlawful acts and is likely to give rise to such acts, |
|
F. |
whereas, although all the Member States have legislation designed to combat racism and xenophobia, there are major differences between the laws applicable; whereas such diversity points to the need for a certain degree of harmonisation at European level in order to ensure that effective action can be taken against cross-border and Europe-wide racism and xenophobia, |
|
G. |
whereas racism and xenophobia must be vigorously combated throughout the European Union, primarily through education and through unrelenting social and political discourse exposing the arguments in their favour and isolating their advocates, |
|
H. |
whereas, after six years of negotiations, the Council reached a political agreement at the Justice and Home Affairs Council meeting of 19 April 2007 on a draft framework decision on action to combat racism and xenophobia, |
|
I. |
whereas this political agreement is the outcome of several years of negotiation and must serve as the starting point for the introduction of more substantial EU legislation in the field, |
|
J. |
whereas Parliament adopted its abovementioned position on 4 July 2002, whereas that position was, however, based on the Commission's initial 2001 proposal and whereas the political agreement of 19 April 2007 is the product of laborious negotiation and has consequently substantially modified the Commission's initial text; whereas, therefore, Parliament should be consulted again on the basis of this new text, |
|
K. |
whereas the adoption of the framework decision will result in the repeal of the Joint Action, and whereas the framework decision should not be any less substantial than the Joint Action, |
|
1. |
In view of the proposal for a framework decision on which a political agreement was reached at the Justice and Home Affairs Council meeting of 19 April 2007, addresses the following recommendations to the Council:
|
|
2. |
Instructs its President to forward this recommendation to the Council and, for information, to the Commission and to the parliaments and governments of the Member States. |

Decision-making in the common European asylum system
European Parliament resolution of 21 June 2007 on asylum: practical cooperation, quality of decision-making in the common European asylum system (2006/2184(INI))
The European Parliament,
|
— |
having regard to Article 63(1) and (2) of the Treaty establishing the European Community, |
|
— |
having regard to Council Directive 2005/85/EC of 1 December 2005 on minimum standards on procedures in Member States for granting and withdrawing refugee status (1), |
|
— |
having regard to Council Directive 2004/83/EC of 29 April 2004 on minimum standards for the qualification and status of third country nationals or stateless persons as refugees or as persons who otherwise need international protection and the content of the protection granted (2), |
|
— |
having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 343/2003 of 18 February 2003 establishing the criteria and mechanisms for determining the Member State responsible for examining an asylum application lodged in one of the Member States by a third-country national (3) (Dublin II Regulation), |
|
— |
having regard to Council Directive 2003/9/EC of 27 January 2003 laying down minimum standards for the reception of asylum-seekers (4), |
|
— |
having regard to the Hague Programme of 4 and 5 November 2004, |
|
— |
having regard to its position of 27 September 2005 on the draft Council directive on minimum standards on procedures in Member States for granting and withdrawing refugee status (5), |
|
— |
having regard to the Commission Communication on strengthened practical cooperation: new structures, new approaches: improving the quality of decision-making in the common European asylum system (COM(2006)0067), |
|
— |
having regard to the Commission Communication on adaptation of the provisions of Title IV of the Treaty establishing the European Community relating to the jurisdiction of the Court of Justice with a view to ensuring more effective judicial protection (COM(2006)0346), |
|
— |
having regard to Rule 45 of its Rules of Procedure, |
|
— |
having regard to the report of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs and the opinion of the Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality (A6-0182/2007), |
|
A. |
whereas international conventions, including the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, must be fully observed and the principle of non-refoulement must always be upheld, |
|
B. |
whereas the first phase of the introduction of the common asylum system was completed with the adoption of the four instruments provided for in Article 63(1) of the EC Treaty; whereas there are both political and technical difficulties which will have to be overcome before the second phase of the system can be launched, the aim of which is to introduce a common asylum procedure and a uniform status for persons entitled to asylum or subsidiary protection; and whereas it is to be hoped that the deadline for completing this phase, 2010, will be met, |
|
C. |
whereas it had already lent its backing to the definition of ‘refugee’, when it appeared in Council Directive 2004/83/EC and that definition is therefore also valid for this resolution, |
|
D. |
whereas, when it comes to implementing joint standards, the adoption of directives is only a first step, and whereas this phase must necessarily be followed by the proper implementation in all Member States of the provisions adopted at Community level; whereas scrutiny of that implementation process by the Commission constitutes a highly significant task for which appropriate resources must therefore be made available, |
|
E. |
whereas the instruments adopted thus far in the area of asylum policy have only set minimum standards, and bearing in mind that the tendency to agree on a lowest common denominator must be overcome in order to avoid a race to the bottom, lowering the protection and the quality of reception, of procedures, and of protection, |
|
F. |
whereas in the Hague Programme of 4 and 5 November 2004, the European Council called on the Council and the Commission to establish suitable structures involving the national asylum services of the Member States, with a view to facilitating practical cooperation, and whereas stepping up this practical cooperation and exchange of information and details of proven procedures between the Member States represents an important means of achieving the goal of a common asylum procedure and a uniform status', |
|
G. |
whereas strengthening mutual trust is a cornerstone of the process of establishing a common asylum system, and whereas practical and regular cooperation between the various administrative levels in the Member States is the best method of establishing such trust; whereas strengthening mutual trust is necessary to ensure quality and also to increase public confidence in the management of asylum, thereby facilitating a less adversarial and more efficient process, |
|
H. |
whereas the effective implementation of asylum policy is contingent on efforts to achieve a number of complementary objectives, such as improving the quality of decision-making, the prompt and secure processing of applications for protection and the organisation of information campaigns in countries of origin and transit which make clear the scope for legal immigration, the arrangements for securing refugee status or humanitarian protection, the dangers involved in trafficking in human beings, in particular women and unaccompanied minors, and the consequences both of illegal immigration and of denial of refugee status, |
|
I. |
whereas, with a view to improving the processing of asylum applications, and thus reducing the number of court proceedings and procedural delays, it may make sense to draw on support from relevant organisations, for example UNHCR, which has developed a method intended to support authorities in their efforts to improve the quality of their decision-making (Quality Initiative), |
|
J. |
whereas, as the Justice and Home Affairs Council stated on 27 and 28 April 2006, efforts must be made to introduce a uniform procedure with a view to preventing delays and thus making a practical contribution to improving the effectiveness of the procedures, |
|
K. |
whereas, despite the existence of a common set of basic asylum-related measures adopted since the entry into force of the Treaty of Amsterdam, at national level the Member States continue to implement measures or take decisions which have implications for the other Member States, in particular as regards the granting of international protection, |
|
L. |
whereas Article 29 of Directive 2005/85/EC provides for the drawing-up of a minimum common list of third countries regarded as safe countries of origin, and noting that on the one hand this list has still not been drawn up and on the other hand that the Council did not take into account Parliament's opinion when adopting that Directive, for which reason an action for annulment of Directive 2005/85/CE is now pending before the Court of Justice of the European Communities (the Court of Justice); whereas such a list should be adopted under the codecision procedure; whereas the inclusion of a country on that list does not mean automatically that asylum-seekers from that country will be basically refused asylum, but rather that, according to the Geneva Convention of 28 July 1951 relating to the Status of Refugees, as amended by the New York Protocol of 31 January 1967 (Geneva Convention), there is an individual assessment of every single application, |
|
M. |
whereas it is a matter for regret that the Council did not see fit to employ the codecision procedure in connection with the drawing-up of the list of safe countries of origin, and whereas the judgment which the Court of Justice will hand down on this issue is awaited with interest, |
|
N. |
whereas the Member States must have high quality information about current dangers in countries of origin at their disposal if they are to guarantee reliable and fair procedures which ensure that asylumseekers' rights are respected, |
|
O. |
whereas violence and the threat of violence against women constitute a breach of the right to life, safety, freedom, dignity and physical and emotional integrity, as well as being a serious threat to the physical and mental health of the victims of such violence, |
|
P. |
whereas although there are technical and political problems which hamper the sharing of sensitive information about countries of origin, a joint database on countries of origin must surely ultimately be set up, so that all persons involved in the procedure can rely on the same information when dealing with an individual application, |
|
Q. |
whereas if decision-making procedures are to be improved the level of training of the civil servants who take the decisions will have to be raised, |
|
R. |
whereas the procedure best suited to enabling the Court of Justice to guarantee the unity of Community law is the preliminary ruling procedure laid down in Article 234 of the EC Treaty, and whereas a key component of that procedure is the principle that any national court may ask the Court of Justice for a ruling; whereas, however, on the basis of the derogation from that principle laid down in Article 68 of the EC Treaty, the Court of Justice is unfortunately empowered to interpret asylum-related provisions only if consulted by the national court of final instance, |
|
1. |
Welcomes the efforts made to improve practical cooperation in the common European asylum system; considers that improving quality in procedures and decisions is in the interests of both the Member States and asylum-seekers; |
|
2. |
Reaffirms the need for a proactive common EU asylum policy, based on the obligation to admit asylum-seekers and on respect for the principle of non-refoulement; recalls, in this respect, the fundamental role of a strong Common Foreign and Security Policy, promoting and safeguarding democracy and fundamental rights; |
|
3. |
Emphasises once again that the ultimate objective of introducing a common asylum system must be to ensure a high quality of protection, of assessment of individual asylum claims, and of procedures resulting in duly substantiated and fair decisions; points out that improvement in the quality of decision making must ensure that those in need of protection may enter the EU safely and have their claims properly processed, and ensure strict adherence to international standards of human rights and refugee law, in particular to the principle of non-refoulement; |
|
4. |
Condemns the clearly inadequate resources available to the Commission to monitor the implementation of the various directives which deal with asylum-related matters, and urges the Member States to facilitate the Commission's task by systematically submitting to it a table of equivalences setting out exactly what measures have been taken to implement which provisions of those directives; |
|
5. |
Calls on the Council and the Commission to work to bring about the introduction in all Member States of a single procedure which makes for fair and effective decision-making, in order to ensure that refugee status is granted as quickly as possible to all those who are entitled to it; |
|
6. |
Points out, with regard to the conditions and procedures for granting international protection and, in particular, subsidiary protection, that as long as asylum-related legal provisions are based on minimum standards and on the lowest common denominator, differences between the Member States will continue to exist and ‘asylum shopping’ will remain an issue; |
|
7. |
Emphasises that one of the objectives of the asylum-related instruments adopted is to curb so-called ‘secondary’ movements; therefore urges the Member States to take practical steps to achieve the highest possible degree of convergence among their respective asylum policies; |
|
8. |
Takes the view that one of the improvements to be made to the EU asylum system should consist, for the sake of greater solidarity, in a fairer share of the burden carried in particular by those Member States at the external borders of the EU, and already awaits with interest the Commission's assessment of the Dublin II Regulation and any proposals it may make in this area; |
|
9. |
Considers that due note should be taken of the fact that civil servants responsible for decisions granting refugee status must have proper training on the basis of a European curriculum, with the possibility of obligatory qualifications or an obligatory level of qualification being introduced; |
|
10. |
Calls for information campaigns to be carried out in countries of origin and transit with a view to making clear to potential migrants both the risks inherent in illegal immigration and the consequences of denial of refugee status, and the scope for legal migration and the possibility to apply for asylum in a justified case, as well as the dangers involved in trafficking in human beings, in particular women and unaccompanied minors; |
|
11. |
Calls — once judicial remedies have been exhausted — for measures applicable to persons who have not been granted refugee status or whose refugee status has been revoked to be implemented quickly and fairly with full respect for the human dignity and fundamental rights of the persons who have to be repatriated; calls furthermore in this respect for the establishment in the shortest possible term of a EU repatriation procedure; |
|
12. |
Calls for the measures applicable to persons who have been granted refugee status or humanitarian protection to be implemented quickly and fairly, in order that decent living conditions, effective integration in social and political life and shared active involvement in decisions taken by the host community may be fostered; |
|
13. |
Calls on the Commission to overcome as quickly as possible the technical and political problems involved in introducing a joint database containing information about countries of origin; considers that an EU database should work as an open system, so that all persons involved in the procedure can rely on the same information when dealing with an individual application; hopes that a pragmatic solution can be found to the problem of multilingualism; |
|
14. |
Notes on the one hand the previous Commission's efforts, pursuant to the provisions of Article 29 of Directive 2005/85/EC, to draw up a list of safe countries of origin, but recalls on the other hand the pending judgment of the action for annulment which was brought before the Court of Justice concerning that Directive, for which reason the drafting of such a list is currently suspended; and calls on the Council to take into account these contrasting elements and to make decisions accordingly; points out, furthermore, that the safe third country concept does not exempt Member States from their obligations under international law, in particular the provisions laid down in the Geneva Convention concerning the principle of non-refoulement and the individual assessment of every single application for asylum; |
|
15. |
Takes the view that coordinating activities in connection with practical cooperation on asylum-related matters must remain the task of the Commission, which must be provided with resources appropriate to that task; calls on the Commission to advocate that option in the report which it will submit in early 2008 concerning progress with the first phase of activities and, if it chooses another option, to justify why the establishment of a new structure in the form of a ‘European Support Office’ is considered necessary, whereas the cost-benefit ratio should be taken into account; takes the view that if the Commission envisages the creation of a European Support Office, it should be under a strict obligation to include guarantees of its transparency and accountability; |
|
16. |
Calls on the Member States to cooperate fully with UNHCR, to provide it with the appropriate support and to carry out a ‘Quality Initiative’ exercise and publish the results of that initiative, so as to familiarise people with and encourage the use of best practices with regard to the processing of applications for international protection; |
|
17. |
Considers it unacceptable that asylum-seekers should be held in conditions which deprive them of their individual freedom; |
|
18. |
Stresses the need to establish reception centres with separate facilities for families, women and children and suitable facilities for elderly and disabled asylum-seekers; calls for reception conditions to be assessed as part of measures implementing Directive 2003/9/EC; stresses, in this connection, the need for full use to be made of the opportunities afforded by the new European Refugee Fund; |
|
19. |
Welcomes the measures planned by the Commission to support those Member States which are under severe pressure, so that they can cope with problems relating to the reception of asylum-seekers and the assessment of asylum applications; welcomes, in particular and above all, the proposal to send teams of experts comprising members from different Member States; |
|
20. |
Emphasises that it is the Commission's task to monitor the application of asylum-related directives and that the resources made available to it for this purpose currently fall well short of those needed to carry out such a comprehensive task successfully; takes the view that the credibility of the Union in this area and the future of the common asylum policy are at stake; |
|
21. |
Encourages the Commission to make it easier to access financial instruments such as the European Refugee Fund and the ARGO Programme so as to enable Member States to obtain funding swiftly in an emergency; |
|
22. |
Points out that the body of Community law created in the area of asylum policy must be uniformly interpreted and applied throughout the Union; takes the view that harmonisation in the area of asylum policy will be facilitated and speeded up if the Court of Justice can in future be consulted by courts other than national courts of final instance, as is currently the case; calls on the Council, therefore, to restore to the Court of Justice its full powers in the area of preliminary rulings granted to it pursuant to Title IV of the EC Treaty; welcomes the Court of Justice Discussion Paper on the treatment of questions referred for a preliminary ruling concerning the area of freedom, security and justice (6) and encourages discussion on the need for a procedure that is adapted to the specific nature of cases in the field of asylum and immigration; |
|
23. |
Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and the Commission. |

Consumer confidence in the digital environment
European Parliament resolution of 21 June 2007 on consumer confidence in the digital environment (2006/2048(INI))
The European Parliament,
|
— |
having regard to the Commission Green Paper on the Review of the Consumer Acquis (COM(2006)0744) and the EC Consumer Law Compendium — Comparative Analysis (1), |
|
— |
having regard to the public hearing, and to the expert studies presented at that hearing, on consumer confidence in the digital environment, which took place at the European Parliament on 24 January 2007, |
|
— |
having regard to the EC Treaty, and in particular Articles 95 and 153 thereof, |
|
— |
having regard to its resolutions of 23 March 2006 on European contract law and the revision of the acquis: the way forward (2) and of 7 September 2006 on European contract law (3), |
|
— |
having regard to current Community legislation in the area of consumer protection, e-commerce and the development of the information society, |
|
— |
having regard to the German Presidency Charter entitled ‘Consumer sovereignty in a digital world’, |
|
— |
having regard to the Commission Communication on fighting spam, spyware and malicious software (COM(2006)0688), |
|
— |
having regard to the Commission Communication on the Review of the EU Regulatory Framework for electronic communications networks and services (COM(2006)0334), |
|
— |
having regard to Rule 45 of its Rules of Procedure, |
|
— |
having regard to the report of the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection and the opinion of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (A6-0191/2007), |
|
A. |
whereas digital technology is a part of everyday life, the information and communication technology (ICT) industry plays a major role in providing platforms, devices, software, information services, communication, entertainment, and cultural goods, the boundary between goods and services is becoming blurred, various forms of ICT are converging, methods of purchase are diversifying and consumers are increasingly generating content for or adding value to products; whereas, moreover, in this complex new structure, it is increasingly difficult to identify who is providing a particular part of a service and to understand the impact of specific technology and new business models, |
|
B. |
whereas European consumer and business confidence in the digital environment is low and whereas in certain aspects of e-commerce Europe is lagging behind the United States and Asia, |
|
C. |
whereas, despite the potential of digital communication, only 6% of consumers engage in cross-border e-commerce in goods, services and content, although this figure is rising, |
|
D. |
whereas, despite the potential of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), such systems are regularly used by only 3% of retailers, and 41 % of retailers do not know about the possibilities of using these tools, |
|
E. |
whereas the development of the EU digital market would considerably increase the EU's competitiveness in global trade, |
|
F. |
whereas net neutrality deserves in-depth investigation and close monitoring at the European level in order to unleash and fully exploit its potential to boost consumer choice and make it possible also for new businesses to have equal access to the internal market, |
|
G. |
whereas the fragmentation of part of the electronic market within the EU endangers the rights laid down in the acquis communautaire, |
|
H. |
whereas the digital divide is social and geographical, and whereas those left behind by digital developments are often in disadvantaged and rural areas, |
|
I. |
whereas European consumers and businesses enjoy little legal certainty for cross-border e-commerce within the EU in comparison with national transactions and transactions outside the EU, |
|
J. |
whereas one single electronic transaction is subject to many legal provisions setting divergent requirements, which does not provide either business operators or consumers with clear and easily enforceable rules, |
|
K. |
whereas the future of the information society very much depends on the challenge of ensuring adequate protection of personal data as well as a high level of security in the electronic environment, |
|
1. |
Calls on the Commission to support a suitable framework for the development of e-commerce that would boost the current low level of consumer confidence, create a more attractive business environment, improve the quality of legislation, reinforce consumer rights and the position of small business operators on the market, and stop the fragmentation of the internal market in the digital environment; in that respect, welcomes the communication from the Commission on the EU Consumer Policy strategy 2007-2013 — Empowering consumers, enhancing their welfare, effectively protecting them (COM(2007)0099); |
|
2. |
Calls on the Commission, in addition to seeking to improve the quality of consumer legislation, to focus on developing appropriate rules for cross-border e-commerce in the form of standards to which holders of the European trustmark for cross-border e-commerce would adhere voluntarily; |
|
3. |
Calls on the Commission to propose a strategy for increasing consumer confidence in the digital environment as a whole, building on experience gathered as part of the ‘e-confidence’ initiative (4); |
|
4. |
Is convinced of the need to implement in practice and without delay the ‘e-inclusion’ initiative; therefore calls on the Commission to urge the Member States which are signatories to this pan-European initiative to take action to this end; |
|
5. |
Is convinced that there should be a broader definition of ‘consumer’ which is better suited to the information society; |
|
6. |
Is convinced that small business operators deserve specific protection to enhance their position on the market in the information society; |
|
7. |
Emphasises that factors exist that give rise to a lack of consumer confidence in the digital environment, and therefore considers it necessary to pursue an active policy and to support specific mechanisms to help boost consumer confidence by ensuring that transactions in the digital environment can be safely carried out in a proper manner; |
|
8. |
Calls on the Commission, pursuant to Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 2006/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 October 2004 on cooperation between national authorities responsible for the enforcement of consumer protection laws (the Regulation on consumer protection cooperation) (5), to conclude consumer protection cooperation agreements with third countries (particularly those within the OECD), which would improve the enforceability of consumer rights in the digital environment; |
|
9. |
Welcomes the Commission's initiative to review and update the consumer acquis, and particularly the strong focus on e-commerce; |
Increasing consumer confidence in the digital environment
|
10. |
Considers that a new e-confidence strategy would contribute to raising consumer confidence, particularly by means of progress in the following areas:
|
|
11. |
Highlights the importance of timely and effective transposition of Directive 2005/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2005 concerning unfair business-to-consumer commercial practices in the internal market (Unfair Commercial Practices Directive) (6) by all Member States as a key instrument guaranteeing consumer protection in cross-border transactions; |
|
12. |
Considers also that a relaunched e-confidence initiative should not only deal with consumer protection but also set out a coordinated approach to the issue of the digital environment as a whole, including analyses of non-market factors such as the protection of privacy, access by the general public to information technologies (‘e-inclusion’), Internet security, and so on; |
|
13. |
Insists that the European population's right to access the digital environment is paramount and recalls in this respect the importance of implementing appropriate financial and legal tools in order to promote e-inclusion, notably by enforcing and if necessary extending universal service obligations in the field of electronic communications, as well as by making financial resources available for investments in the development of digital communication infrastructure; |
|
14. |
Is convinced that interested parties (representatives of industry and of consumer organisations) must be consulted on future steps; |
e-commerce culture
|
15. |
Calls on the Commission to begin formulating voluntary European standards designed to facilitate cross-border e-commerce, namely European standards designed to bridge language differences and variations between the laws in force within the various Member States — this being a factor which constitutes a serious obstacle preventing both consumers and small and medium-sized enterprises from fully exploiting the internal market's potential in the digital environment; |
|
16. |
Calls on the Commission to support the creation of optional standardised contracts and voluntary standardised general terms and conditions of trade for e-commerce in order to ensure a balanced relationship, in view of the fact that neither consumers nor businesses are usually legal and technical experts, but nevertheless to leave the option for parties to contract freely, based on the fundamental civil law principle of the freedom to contract; |
|
17. |
Calls on the Commission to establish the requirement for entrepreneurs who voluntarily use standardised contracts and standardised general commercial terms and conditions to highlight provisions which differ therefrom; |
|
18. |
Calls on the Commission to propose that the rules governing electronic communications be amended to improve transparency and publication of information to end-users; |
European trustmark for cross-border e-commerce
|
19. |
Calls on the Commission, when the obstacles to the integration of the retail side of the internal market have been removed, to assess the possibilities for establishing a definition of conditions and a logo for a European trustmark in order to guarantee greater certainty in the area of cross-border e-commerce, and in this connection to ensure a general legal framework for voluntary trustmarks, as it was called on to do in Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2000 on certain legal aspects of information society services, in particular electronic commerce, in the Internal Market (Directive on electronic commerce) (7); recommends that this should involve:
|
|
20. |
Notes, however, the following problems with implementing effective trustmark schemes:
|
|
21. |
Is convinced that the most effective ways of encouraging consumer confidence are:
and asks the Commission to facilitate the exchange of best practice in relation to such schemes; |
|
22. |
Notes that the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive covers the fraudulent use of trustmarks or other marks, as well as false consumer references; asks Member States to ensure that their national consumer protection centres are alerted to such abuses; |
|
23. |
Calls on the Commission to assess the experience already gained with existing and successful trustmarks, in particular those operating in more than one Member State, such as the Euro-Label, and to make use of that experience when devising the EU trustmark for cross-border e-commerce (including verification as to whether the dissemination of trustmarks in the new Member States might be hindered by a lack of adequate resources for financing the introduction of such marks); |
|
24. |
Firmly believes that trustmarks offer small and medium-sized enterprises in particular a significant opportunity for building up consumer trust in the digital environment; |
European charter of users' rights in the information society
|
25. |
Calls on the Commission, after consulting consumers' organisations, to present a European charter of users' rights that would clarify the rights and obligations of information society players, including consumers, notably users' rights relating to digital content (i.e. users' rights and obligations when using digital content), users' rights guaranteeing basic interoperability standards, and the rights of particularly vulnerable users (i.e. improving the accessibility of Internet pages for disabled persons); in the event of it being temporarily impossible to prepare the charter due to the dynamic development of this area, calls on the Commission to present a guide explaining the rights and obligations of information society players under the current acquis; |
|
26. |
Calls on the Commission to establish basic users' freedoms and rights in the information society; considers that, in this respect, some users' freedoms and rights should be established within the framework of the forthcoming Communication on Content Online in the Single Market; |
|
27. |
Takes the view that the online environment and also digital technology enable consumers to be offered a wide range of new products and services, and that intellectual property forms the very basis of such services; considers that consumers — in order to profit fully from such services and have their expectations fulfilled — need clear information on what they can and cannot do with regard to digital content, digital rights management and technological protection matters; is convinced that consumers should be entitled to interoperable solutions; |
|
28. |
Calls on the Commission to disseminate the European charter of users' rights, and to encourage Member States and organisations concerned to disseminate it widely to all Internet users, so that those users are aware of their rights and are able to enforce them; |
Fragmentation of the internal market in the digital environment
|
29. |
Calls on the Commission to propose measures to stop the fragmentation of the internal market in the digital environment (i.e. refusal of access to goods, services and content offered in a cross-border context), which significantly affects consumers mainly in new and small Member States solely on the basis of nationality, place of residence or whether they own a payment card issued in a particular Member State, and to keep Parliament regularly informed on progress made in this area; |
|
30. |
Firmly believes that it is unacceptable that certain entrepreneurs who supply goods or provide services and content via the Internet in several Member States deny consumers access to their websites in certain Member States and force consumers to use their websites in the State in which the consumer is resident or whose nationality he or she holds; |
|
31. |
Calls on the Commission to propose a provision for access to products delivered cross-border, in line with Article 20 of the Services Directive; |
|
32. |
Calls on the Commission to closely monitor the effectiveness of Article 20 of the Services Directive, in particular with regard to objective criteria; |
|
33. |
Welcomes the fact that the Commission is investigating how the practice of territorial licensing or exclusive territorial contracts conflicts with the internal market, and encourages it and calls on it to comprehensively inform the Parliament about the findings of these investigations; |
|
34. |
Stresses the importance of ensuring that European entrepreneurs in the digital environment have good reason to offer goods, services and content across borders throughout the entire internal market; |
|
35. |
Notes that interoperability is a crucial economic factor and stresses the importance of industry-driven, accessible, interoperable standards at a technical and legal level so as to enable economies of scale, ensure non-discriminatory access to devices, services and content for consumers, promote the fast deployment of technologies and contribute to avoiding market fragmentation; stresses that true interoperability of devices, services and content at least at the consumer (end-user) level should be promoted; |
Strengthening consumers' legal protection in the digital environment
|
36. |
Is convinced that greater consumer confidence in the digital environment would be made possible by a clearer and improved consumer acquis communautaire geared towards horizontal legal instruments and the harmonisation of certain aspects of consumer contract law; calls on the Commission to present, to Parliament and the Council, a report on the implementation of the e-commerce directive, identifying questions related to consumer confidence; |
|
37. |
Welcomes the suggestion made by the Commission in its Green Paper on the Review of the Consumer Acquis to include digital files within the scope of Directive 1999/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 May 1999 on certain aspects of the sale of consumer goods and associated guarantees (9); |
|
38. |
Is convinced that the application of the regime on unfair contract terms should be reinforced in the field of end-user licence agreements and should include technical contract terms; |
|
39. |
Calls on the Commission to propose that the rules regulating distance contracts be extended to cover contracts concluded between consumers and professional traders in online auctions and contracts for tourist services (airline tickets, hotel accommodation, car rental, leisure time services and so on) ordered individually over the Internet; |
|
40. |
Calls on the Commission to simplify and standardise the requirements for mandatory information provided by the vendor to the purchaser in e-commerce transactions and in the context of such information to prioritise essential mandatory information; |
|
41. |
Calls on the Commission to make the supply chain in the digital environment more transparent in such a way as to ensure that the consumer always knows the identity of the supplier and whether the supplier is an intermediary or an end supplier; |
|
42. |
Firmly believes it to be unacceptable that consumers are redirected from the vendor's website to other websites without being properly warned, since this causes the true identity of the actual supplier of the goods, services or content to be concealed from the consumer; |
|
43. |
Calls on the Commission to strengthen consumer protection in cases where the consumer assumes all contractual risks, for example by paying in advance, and particularly in electronic contracts; |
|
44. |
Calls on the Commission to speed up its consideration of action on collective redress mechanisms for cross border business-to-consumers (B2C) disputes in the digital environment; |
|
45. |
Recalling the positive experiences of Solvit and of the network of European Consumer Centres, calls for the creation of a European e-consumer information system which would offer all European e-consumers detailed guidance and information about consumer and business rights and obligations in the digital environment and practical orientation regarding ADR possibilities, both at a general level and, where relevant, in individual cases as well; |
|
46. |
Calls on the Commission to ensure that consumers are effectively protected against security and privacy attacks in the digital environment through both regulatory and technical measures; |
|
47. |
Calls on the Commission to monitor in detail trends in consumer protection in e-commerce carried out by means of mobile telephones, with emphasis to be placed inter alia on the protection of young consumers; |
|
48. |
Calls on the Member States to cooperate in striving to achieve the objective of a high level of consumer protection in the digital environment throughout the entire internal market; |
|
49. |
Calls on the Commission to notify Parliament of the progress made as regards consumer protection in the digital environment, including practical steps taken towards fulfilment of this resolution, at regular intervals (ideally once per year); |
*
* *
|
50. |
Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission and the governments and parliaments of the Member States. |

Cuba
European Parliament resolution of 21 June 2007 on Cuba
The European Parliament,
|
— |
having regard to its earlier resolutions on the situation in Cuba and, in particular, those of 17 November 2004 (1) and 2 February 2006 (2), |
|
— |
having regard to its previous resolutions on the Annual Reports on Human Rights in the World for 2004, 2005 and 2006, and to the EU's policy on the matter of 28 April 2005 (3), 18 May 2006 (4) and 26 April 2007 (5) respectively, |
|
— |
having regard to its resolution of 14 December 2006 on the follow-up to the Sakharov Prize (6), |
|
— |
having regard to the declaration of the Council Presidency of 14 December 2005 on the Damas de Blanco and to its earlier declarations of 26 March 2003 and 5 June 2003 on the situation in Cuba, |
|
— |
having regard to the Council Common Position 96/697/CFSP (7) on Cuba, which was adopted on 2 December 1996 and has been periodically updated, |
|
— |
having regard to the conclusions of the General Affairs and External Relations Council of 18 June 2007 on Cuba, |
|
— |
having regard to Rule 115 of its Rules of Procedure, |
|
A. |
whereas protecting the universality and indivisibility of human rights, including civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights, remains one of the European Union's main objectives, |
|
B. |
whereas dozens of independent journalists, peaceful dissidents and defenders of human rights, who are members of the democratic opposition and, in most cases, linked to the Varela project are still being held in jail, some of them seriously ill and many of them close relatives of the Damas de Blanco, |
|
C. |
whereas Parliament awarded the 2005 Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought to the Damas de Blanco; whereas the refusal of the Cuban authorities to allow the Damas de Blanco to travel to the seat of Parliament to receive their award violates one of the basic human rights, namely the right freely to leave and return to one's own country, as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, |
|
D. |
whereas Parliament decided to send a delegation to Cuba to ascertain the situation of the Sakharov Prize laureates; deploring the Cuban authorities' refusal to issue visas to the members of that delegation, |
|
E. |
whereas, furthermore, Parliament's 2002 Sakharov laureate, Oswaldo Payá Sardiñas, has been systematically denied the freedom to leave Cuba and to accept the invitations issued by Parliament and by other EU bodies, |
|
F. |
having regard to the need for Cuba to launch a process of political transition to multi-party democracy, with participation and decision-making open to all Cubans on the basis of an open-ended dialogue that excludes no-one, |
|
G. |
whereas, as the Council has recognised, no tangible results have been achieved on human rights in Cuba, despite the goodwill shown by the Council in 2005 when it suspended the complementary measures to the common position, |
|
H. |
whereas the political dialogue between the EU and the Cuban Government, according to the Council's conclusions, must neither forget nor neglect the direct ‘intensive dialogue with civil society and the peaceful opposition’, and should follow the EU's ‘views on democracy, universal human rights and fundamental freedoms’, as well as its ‘worldwide policy of support to human rights defenders’, |
|
I. |
whereas the most recent revision of the Council's common position implied that the high-level visits to Havana should include meetings with both the Cuban authorities and the peaceful democratic opposition and civil society, and that the human rights situation should be an obligatory subject of discussion, |
|
J. |
regretting the UN Human Rights Council decision to discontinue monitoring human rights abuses in Cuba, |
|
1. |
Regrets the fact that, despite a first temporary transfer of power in 48 years from Fidel Castro to a collective leadership headed by his brother Raúl Castro, the political, economic and social system in Cuba remains essentially unchanged; |
|
2. |
Regrets the absence of any significant signs on the part of the Cuban authorities in response to the EU's calls for full respect for fundamental freedoms, especially freedom of expression and political association; |
|
3. |
Regrets the failure to respond to the call of Parliament and the Council for the immediate release of all political prisoners and prisoners of conscience, and insists that imprisoning Cuban dissidents for their ideals and their peaceful political activity is contrary to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; |
|
4. |
Urges the Council and Commission to continue to take whatever action is necessary in order to demand the release of political prisoners and ensure that an immediate stop is put to the harassment of political opponents and defenders of human rights; |
|
5. |
Urges the EU institutions to give their unconditional support and full encouragement to launching a peaceful process of political transition to a multi-party democracy in Cuba, in line with Council Common Position 96/697/CFSP; |
|

|
7. |
Recalls that reconciliation and mutual understanding must include all Cubans who are willing to work peacefully for freedom, democracy and harmony; |
|
8. |
Urges the EU institutions to continue their dialogue with Cuba's civil society and offer their support for peaceful change in Cuba, through development cooperation instruments including the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (8); |
|
9. |
Stresses that Council Common Position 96/697/CFSP remains entirely valid, as do its objectives; deeply regrets the fact that the high-level visits of the EU institutions and the Member States that have taken place to date have involved talks with all the authorities of the Cuban regime but no direct meetings with the representatives of the peaceful democratic opposition or political prisoners' relatives; |
|
10. |
Confirms its decision to send an official delegation of Parliament to Cuba, and urges the Cuban authorities to alter their position and allow the entry of such a delegation; |
|
11. |
Urges the Cuban authorities immediately to allow the Damas de Blanco to leave the island so that they can accept Parliament's invitation, and instructs its President to take all possible steps to ensure that the prize winners can indeed receive the Sakharov Prize in person; |

Renews its invitation to Oswaldo Payá Sardiñas, and demands that the Cuban authorities permit him to travel to Europe so that he can address the Community institutions; |
|
13. |
Demands that the Cuban authorities permit members of the political opposition, human rights activists and all citizens to travel abroad freely and return freely to Cuba. |
|
14. |
Notes that the Council has decided to invite a Cuban delegation to Brussels in order to resume a comprehensive and open political dialogue with the Cuban authorities; hopes that when that visit is prepared the Council will address in its talks with the Cuban Government the invitations of the EU institutions to the Damas de Blanco and Oswaldo Payá Sardiñas as well as Parliament's desire to send a delegation to Cuba; |
|
15. |
Considers it extremely important that any strengthening of political and economic relations — including development aid — between the EU and the Cuban authorities, which might derive from a comprehensive and open political dialogue, be linked to concrete and verifiable improvements of the human rights conditions of all Cuban citizens, starting with the release of all political prisoners and prisoners of conscience; |
|
16. |
Condemns any policy of sex discrimination and repression such as that effective in Cuba to date and welcomes the educational campaigns on sex discrimination that are currently implemented by the Cuban national centre for sex education; |
|
17. |
Recalls that the next revision of the Council Common Position is scheduled for June 2008; |
|
18. |
Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the Eurolat Assembly, the Cuban Government and National Assembly of People's Power, and the Damas de Blanco and Oswaldo Payá Sardiñas, winners of Parliament's Sakharov Prize. |

F. |

Burma
European Parliament resolution of 21 June 2007 on Burma
The European Parliament,
|
— |
having regard to the first formal session of the UN Security Council on Burma held on 29 September 2006, |
|
— |
having regard to the statement by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon of 25 May 2007 calling for ‘restrictions on Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and other political figures’ to be lifted, |
|
— |
having regard to the 12th ASEAN Summit held in the Philippines on 9-15 January 2007, |
|
— |
having regard to the eighth ASEM Foreign Ministers' meeting held in Germany on 28-29 May 2007, |
|
— |
having regard to the letter of 15 May 2007 to General Than Shwe, signed by 59 former Heads of State, calling for ‘the immediate release of the world's only imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi’, |
|
— |
having regard to its resolutions of 12 May 2005 (1), 17 November 2005 (2) and 14 December 2006 (3) on Burma, |
|
— |
having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 481/2007 of 27 April 2007 (4) renewing restrictive measures against Burma, |
|
— |
having regard to the 17th anniversary of the victory of the National League for Democracy (NLD) in the parliamentary elections of 27 May 1990, |
|
— |
having regard to Rule 115(5) of its Rules of Procedure, |
|
A. |
whereas the NDL leader, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and Sakharov Prize winner Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, has spent 11 of the last 17 years under house arrest, |
|
B. |
whereas on 25 May 2007 the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) extended the illegal detention of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi for another year, |
|
C. |
whereas the SPDC continues to subject the people of Burma to appalling human rights abuses, such as forced labour, persecution of dissidents, conscription of child soldiers and forced relocation, |
|
D. |
whereas 30 % of Burma's population, an estimated 15 million people, are subsisting below the poverty line, |
|
E. |
whereas the National Convention — first convened in 1993 to draft a constitution but suspended many times since then — will resume on 18 July 2007 for a final session but lacks legitimacy and international credibility due to the absence of democratically elected representatives, most notably from the NLD, |
|
F. |
whereas ASEAN has started to take a more robust stance against the abuses by the military regime in Burma and insists that Burma improve its human rights record and embrace democracy, |
|
G. |
whereas on 15 May 2007 Russia and Burma concluded an agreement to build a nuclear research reactor in Burma, despite international concerns about safety standards, security and dual use, |
|
1. |
Demands the immediate and unconditional release of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi; |
|
2. |
Deplores the fact that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has suffered years of house arrest, including solitary confinement and, since 2003, has only been allowed to leave for urgent medical treatment and briefly to meet the UN Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs; |
|
3. |
Condemns the SPDC's unremitting oppression of the Burmese people and its persistent persecution and imprisonment of pro-democracy activists; draws particular attention to the case of U Win Tin, a 78-year-old journalist detained as a political prisoner for almost two decades now for writing a letter to the UN on the ill-treatment of political prisoners and the poor conditions in which they are held; |
|
4. |
Insists on the immediate release of U Win Tin and all political prisoners — estimated to number over 1 200 — held by the SPDC; |
|
5. |
Deplores the fact that, despite the condition of the country, regional and international criticism and 45 years of rule, the SPDC has failed to make any substantial progress towards democracy; |
|
6. |
Urges the legitimisation of the National Convention, through inclusion of the NLD and other political parties and groups, and that the National Convention adopt a roadmap to democracy that reflects the genuine wishes of the Burmese people instead of consolidating the military's stranglehold on power; |
|
7. |
Welcomes the Chairman's statement made at the 12th ASEAN Summit, in which ASEAN leaders encouraged Burma ‘to make greater progress towards national reconciliation’, called ‘for the release of those placed under detention and for effective dialogue with all parties concerned’ and agreed ‘on the need to preserve ASEAN's credibility as an effective regional organisation by demonstrating a capacity to manage important issues within the region’; |
|
8. |
Regrets, however, that the 2006 fact-finding mission to Burma by the Malaysian Foreign Minister, mandated by the 11th ASEAN Summit, has not yet resulted in more robust measures against the military junta in Burma and trusts that these will be forthcoming; |
|
9. |
Urges the Council and the Commission to continue their constructive relationship with ASEAN countries and to ensure that the EU-ASEAN free trade negotiations are used as a vehicle to increase pressure on the SPDC to establish a civilian and democratic government; |
|
10. |
Regrets that the Burmese Foreign Minister, Nyan Win, was permitted to attend the eighth ASEM Foreign Ministers' meeting in Germany this year, only days after the military junta in Burma had extended the illegal house arrest of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi for another year; recalls that Nyan Win is on the list of Burmese individuals subject to the EU travel ban and calls on the EU Member States to implement the EU travel ban more rigorously; |
|
11. |
Insists that the International Atomic Energy Agency subject any nuclear research reactor in Burma to comprehensive safeguards, in order to ensure that any civilian nuclear programmes are not diverted to military purposes, and calls on the Burmese regime to fulfil its obligations under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty; |
|
12. |
Urges China and India to use their considerable economic and political leverage with the Burmese regime to bring about substantial improvements in that country and, in any case, to cease the supply of weaponry and other strategic resources; |
|
13. |
Calls on businesses which invest in Burma to ensure that their projects are carried out in a manner which respects genuine human rights and, if human rights abuses do occur, to suspend their activities in Burma; expresses disappointment that some countries have seen fit to increase substantially their investments in Burma, regardless of the dire human rights situation there; |
|
14. |
Welcomes the renewal of EU targeted sanctions but recognises that they have failed to achieve the desired impact on those directly responsible for the suffering of the Burmese people; calls on the Council to ensure that all Member States rigorously apply existing restrictive measures; |
|
15. |
Calls on the Council to expand the scope of the sanctions and to enlarge the list of those targeted, so that it includes all SPDC ministers, deputies, members, supporters and workers, in addition to their family members, and businessmen and other prominent individuals associated with the regime; |
|
16. |
Notes that, in accordance with the Council Common Position 2006/318/CFSP of 27 April 2006 (5) renewing restrictive measures against Burma, support is limited to humanitarian aid and assistance for those most in need; insists that all aid destined for Burma must be delivered through genuine NGOs and must reach the people for whom it is intended, with the least possible involvement of the SPDC; |
|
17. |
Suggests in this context that all possible efforts be made to enhance contacts and to design programmes focusing on Burmese civil society, notably women's groups and ethnic minorities; |
|
18. |
Regrets that China and Russia, supported by South Africa, vetoed a UN Security Council draft resolution on Burma on 12 January 2007 and calls on the UN Security Council to redouble efforts to obtain unanimous backing for a binding resolution requiring the release of political prisoners, including Daw Aung San Suu Kyi; |
|
19. |
Welcomes the appointment of Ibrahim Gambari as Special Advisor to the UN Secretary-General on Burma, which comes at a critical juncture in the UN's approach to Burma, and calls on the SPDC to fully cooperate with the UN and not to obstruct its work; |
|
20. |
Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the governments of the Member States, the governments of the ASEAN nations, the National League for Democracy of Burma, the State Peace and Development Council of Burma, the Government of the People's Republic of China, the Government of India, the Government of Russia, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency and the Secretary-General of the United Nations. |

PROCEEDINGS OF THE SITTING
IN THE CHAIR: Hans-Gert PÖTTERING
President
1. Resumption of session
The sitting opened at 15.00.
2. Roaming on public mobile networks ***I (signature of act)
Hans-Gert Pöttering (President) and Angela Merkel (President-in-Office of the Council) made brief introductory statements.
They then signed Regulation (EC) No 717/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 June 2007 on roaming on public mobile networks within the Community and amending Directive 2002/21/EC on a common regulatory framework for electronic communications networks and services, as adopted by the Council on 25.06.2007.
3. European Council meeting of 21-22 June 2007 — Activity report of the German Presidency (report and statements followed by debate)
European Council report and Commission statement: European Council meeting of 21-22 June 2007
Council statement: Activity report of the German Presidency
Angela Merkel (President-in-Office of the Council) presented the report on the European Council meeting and made the statement on the outcome of the German Presidency.
José Manuel Barroso (President of the Commission) made the statement on the European Council meeting.
The following spoke: Joseph Daul, on behalf of the PPE-DE Group, Martin Schulz, on behalf of the PSE Group, Graham Watson, on behalf of the ALDE Group, Cristiana Muscardini, on behalf of the UEN Group, Daniel Cohn-Bendit, on behalf of the Verts/ALE Group, Francis Wurtz, on behalf of the GUE/NGL Group, Jens-Peter Bonde, on behalf of the IND/DEM Group, Philip Claeys, on behalf of the ITS Group, and Jana Bobošíková, Non-attached Member.
4. Approval of Minutes of previous sitting
The Minutes of the previous sitting were approved.
5. Membership of Parliament
The President announced that the French authorities had informed him that Marie-Line Reynaud, Pierre Moscovici and Jean-Claude Fruteau had been elected to the French National Assembly.
Under Article 7(2) of the Act concerning the election of representatives of the European Parliament by direct universal suffrage, Parliament established that this office was incompatible with that of Member of the European Parliament, and that the mandates of the Members concerned had been incompatible with that of Member of the European Parliament since 26.06.2007, the date of the constituent sitting of the French National Assembly.
There were disputes surrounding the election of Marie-Line Reynaud and Pierre Moscovici, and the deadline for disputing the election of Jean-Claude Fruteau was not until 28.06.2007. In view of these points and the fact that the French Constitutional Council was to take decisions on the disputes as soon as possible, the President suggested that the establishment of the vacancies concerned should be postponed until the proceedings before the Constitutional Council had come to an end.
However, as their mandates had been incompatible with that of Member of the European Parliament since 26.06.2007, Marie-Line Reynaud, Pierre Moscovici and Jean-Claude Fruteau could no longer take part in Parliament's business, nor in that of Parliament's bodies.
The President noted, furthermore, that the office of Vice-President hitherto held by Pierre Moscovici had fallen vacant, a point with which Mr Moscovici was in agreement.
In view of the exceptional nature of the situation, the President proposed that the matter be referred to the JURI Committee.
6. European Council meeting of 21-22 June 2007 — Activity report of the German Presidency (continuation of debate)
The following spoke: Werner Langen, Enrique Barón Crespo, Silvana Koch-Mehrin, Brian Crowley, Rebecca Harms, Gabriele Zimmer, Irena Belohorská, Timothy Kirkhope, Harlem Désir, Andrew Duff, Mirosław Mariusz Piotrowski, Jim Allister, József Szájer, Jo Leinen, Gerardo Galeote, Andrzej Jan Szejna, Gunnar Hökmark, Edite Estrela, Margie Sudre, Zbigniew Zaleski, Angela Merkel (President-in-Office of the Council) and José Manuel Barroso (President of the Commission).
The debate closed.
7. Dates for next sittings
The next sittings would be held from 09.07.2007 to 12.07.2007.
8. Adjournment of session
The session of the European Parliament was adjourned.
The sitting closed at 17.20.
