having regard to the report of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy and the opinions of the Committee on International Trade, the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, the Committee on Regional Development and the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development (A6-0287/2007),

A.

whereas, the Spring European Council of 8 and 9 March 2007 adopted an overall binding target for the EU to generate 20 % of total energy consumed in the EU from renewable sources by 2020,

B.

whereas that represents a major step towards a sustainable European energy policy that will help to secure energy supply and affordable, competitive energy from renewable sources,

C.

whereas, in its resolution of 14 December 2006 on sustainable, competitive and secure energy, Parliament called for ambitious, binding, sectoral targets, aiming for 25 % of energy from renewable sources in the primary energy sector by 2020 and proposing a road map for achieving a 50 % share of renewables by 2040,

D.

whereas renewable sources, including hydropower, have historically played a significant role in European electricity supply,

E.

whereas, in the context of limiting the increase in average world temperatures to a maximum of 2 °C, renewable energies, energy efficiency measures and energy research must be boosted,

F.

whereas directives to promote renewable sources of energy in the field of electricity have resulted in, or boosted, sustainable developments in the Member States,

G.

whereas existing directives to promote renewable sources of energy were adopted under the co-decision procedure, often on the basis of Article 175(1) of the EC Treaty,

H.

whereas EU industries in the renewable energy sector are global market leaders thanks to their investment in research and thus make an important contribution to job creation and EU competitiveness, objectives set out in the Lisbon Strategy,

I.

whereas no legal provisions exist on heating and cooling from renewable sources of energy,

J.

whereas renewable sources of energy are a key element in a sustainable energy mix, contributing to:

(a)

reduced import dependency and diversification of the fuel mix,

(b)

lower CO2 and other emissions,

(c)

the development of new innovative technologies,

(d)

employment and regional development opportunities,

K.

whereas market developments in renewable energies vary enormously from one Member State to another, not only because of differences in potential, but also because of different, and in some cases inadequate, political and legal framework conditions, as well as excessive administrative obstacles to project implementation in many cases,

L.

whereas geological, hydrological and climatic conditions vary greatly in the Member States and whereas the potential for developing renewable energies therefore varies greatly from one Member State to another,

M.

whereas achieving at least a 20 % energy efficiency improvement by 2020 is essential to successfully achieving the 20 % renewables target,

N.

whereas the promotion of a renewable energy market will help achieve the revised Lisbon objectives by increasing employment and the research and innovation efforts of the Member States and of the EU,

O.

whereas greater use should be made of the EU's research and technology programmes to encourage the development of renewable energy technologies, as is reflected in the FP7 Programme and whereas, at the same time, the existing technological advantage and export potential of European enterprises should be maintained and promoted,

P.

whereas transport fuels are a substantial and growing source of CO2 emissions as well as being the main cause of air pollution in urban centres,

Q.

whereas sustainable solutions to the energy challenges are to be achieved through increased use of renewables, greater improvements in energy efficiency, energy savings and technological innovations in the climate-friendly use of local energy sources,

R.

whereas the heating and cooling sector offers a unique opportunity to use not only renewables but also surplus heat derived from electricity production, industry and waste incineration and thereby to reduce the use of fossil fuels and limit CO2 emissions,

S.

whereas it is indispensable both to ensure that Union citizens have a secure, high-quality supply of energy and to protect the environment, in accordance with public service and universal service obligations,

T.

whereas implementation of the existing Community legal framework for the energy sector is unsatisfactory, in particular in the case of renewables, a state of affairs which does not maintain the long-term confidence of investors,

U.

whereas lengthy authorisation procedures for renewable energy generation projects, transmission lines and distribution networks are a major obstacle to the rapid development of renewable sources,

V.

whereas the lack of clear environmental and social safeguards, especially in the case of biofuels, could lead to significant negative effects, such as an increase in tropical deforestation, without any significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions,

W.

whereas efforts to tackle climate change should not jeopardise efforts to protect biodiversity and ecosystems,

1.

Calls on the Commission to present by the end of 2007 at the latest a proposal for a renewable energy legislative framework to be adopted by co-decision on the basis of Article 175(1) of the EC Treaty; stresses that this legislative framework should maintain existing legislation for the renewable electricity and biofuels sectors, but must be strengthened and improved and accompanied by ambitious legislation on increasing the share of renewable energy for heating and cooling; urges the Commission to propose a sectoral approach within the legislative framework, setting clear and realistic binding targets for the electricity, transport and heating and cooling sectors;

2.

Urges the Commission in its forthcoming proposal for revision of the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), to ensure the better internalisation of the external cost of energy production through the auctioning of ETS credits, so as to create a level playing field for renewable energies and to ensure a fair price for carbon;

3.

Believes that renewable energy sources are abundant on our planet and that the challenge is to extract energy from them; recommends that the revenues generated from ETS auctioning and research funds should be used for research into renewable sources of energy, including promising and challenging sources, such as osmosis energy, tidal energy, wave energy, concentrated solar power, high altitude wind power, laddermill energy and algae fuel technology;

Boosting Renewables

4.

Emphasises the importance of creating and implementing Renewables Action Plans (RAPs) at Community and national levels and stresses that these should serve to contribute to a real Common European Energy Policy;

5.

Calls for sectoral targets to be incorporated into the RAPs to encourage investment, innovation and research in all sectors; notes that, where technological development or questions of cost efficiency call for adjustment of realistic sector targets, this could be done on review of the RAPs on a regular basis with account being taken of the need for stability in the investment framework;

6.

Calls for strategic environmental impact assessment of RAPs and considers that RAPs should specifically address the need to reconcile renewable energy production with other environmental concerns (sustainable forest management, biodiversity, preventing soil degradation, greenhouse gas emissions and so on);

7.

Urges the Commission and the Member States to reach agreement as soon as possible on assigning the 20 % renewables target, taking into account cost-effectiveness and sectoral analyses of the potential in each country, in such a way as ensures an active commitment from all Member States; believes that, despite the fact that some Member States are lagging behind in their contributions to current EU measures on renewables, all Member States should fulfil their commitments to increase their share of renewables, in proportion to their potential and the contributions they have already made;

8.

Calls on the Commission to ensure that the forthcoming legislative proposal concerning renewable energies contains strong measures for the promotion of renewable electricity, with the aim of increasing its share in the EU from the present level to at least double that amount by 2020;

9.

Regrets that regional and local authorities in the EU continue to show too little interest in harnessing and using renewable energy sources;

10.

Considers that each Member State must be free to choose the most appropriate renewable energy sources given the differences in potential to develop certain renewable energies which are inherent in the geological, hydrological and climatic conditions in the Member States; insists, however, that the target of 20 % of energy from renewables means the contribution from renewable energy sources, not other lowcarbon energy sources;

11.

Calls on the Commission and the Member States to contribute to the creation of a market environment that is favourable to renewables in that it actively promotes the decentralised production and use of this type of energy;

12.

Calls on the Commission and the Member States to include energy efficiency scenarios in all RAPs while recognising that energy efficiency is not a renewable energy source;

13.

Recalls that renewable energy and energy efficiency are among the best ways to shield both consumers and industry from the dual effects of increased energy imports and rising fuel costs; insists that the development of a Common European Energy Policy must not create any new social barriers and that energy prices must be transparent and competitive when pursuing the renewables target;

14.

Calls on the Commission to ensure that Community legislation relating to renewable energy and RAPs includes criteria and provisions to avert conflicts between different uses of biomass;

15.

Calls on the Commission to ensure that it has the necessary means and resources to assess the RAPs and to monitor their effective implementation, having due regard for the principle of subsidiarity; recommends that the future legislative framework for renewables should expressly confer on the Commission power and give it the necessary means to reject or accept any RAPs in part or in full; believes that the Commission must ensure that the individual targets in the legislative framework amount to an agreed, binding, EU target;

16.

Calls for milestones to be included in the RAPs; therefore, urges the Commission to include in its proposal a clear mid-term target for the proportion of energy to be derived from renewable energy sources so as to avoid delays in the Member States and for reviews of the RAPs to be carried out every three years starting from the date of entry into force of the proposal, so that the Commission can take action before 2020 if any Member State is not fulfilling its obligations; stresses that Member States which fail to honour their commitments must suffer the consequences;

17.

Deplores the fact that the EU target of a 12 % renewable energy contribution to the EU energy mix by 2010 will, in all likelihood, not be met;

18.

Notes that the Commission's current statistical methodology underestimates the contribution of wind and solar power to electricity production and therefore urges the Commission to base its calculations on final energy consumption and to develop a statistical methodology that does not distort competition between the various energy technologies;

Internal Market and the grid infrastructure

19.

Regrets that the European Council of 8 and 9 March 2007 did not call sufficiently strongly for completion of the internal energy market; believes that it is indispensable that renewables are rapidly integrated into the internal energy market; believes it is necessary to ensure equal conditions in every Member States in order for a real internal market for energy to develop;

20.

Finds that transparent, fair and priority access to the grids is an essential precondition for the successful integration and expansion of electricity generation from renewable sources and that grid access and planning procedures should be further simplified and harmonised, with account being taken of the development of renewable technologies and its intermittent flow of energy so as not to destabilise the national grids;

21.

Calls for increased efforts in each Member State to reduce administrative burdens and simplify authorisation procedures including the possibility to create a one-stop shop in order to facilitate the authorisation of renewables; calls on the Commission to establish minimum requirements for the removal of administrative barriers, including streamlined procedures;

22.

Calls for investment in additional, flexible, intelligent grid infrastructure and grid management in order to improve system operation, enhance security of supply, reduce consumer costs and improve access to and the generation of renewable energy sources; draws attention to the need to speed up approval procedures and streamline legal procedures;

23.

Calls for increased efforts to be made to coordinate Europe planning procedures, sites for renewables and proper grid interconnections;

24.

Believes that the promotion of renewables must be accompanied by increased cooperation between national transmission system operators (TSOs) on grid planning and cross-border trade issues in order to successfully integrate fluctuating energy sources;

25.

Stresses the enormous development potential of offshore wind energy and the significant contribution it could make to Europe's independence from energy imports and to climate protection, while pointing out that enormous efforts are still needed to fully develop this potential; therefore calls on the Commission to draw up an offshore wind energy action plan, embodying an efficient European approach to offshore technology and promoting stronger interconnections;

26.

Calls on the Commission and the Member States to contribute to the creation of a favourable market environment for renewable energy, which should include the abolition of perverse subsidies and the proactive use of public procurement within the EU to help reduce the cost of both energy efficient and renewable technologies;

27.

Believes that an effective and efficient harmonised support scheme drawing on best practices in the Member States should be the long-term objective in Europe in order to ensure the most efficient use of renewable energy technologies; believes that national support schemes would nevertheless be needed to maintain investor confidence, as many Member States are only now beginning larger-scale investments in renewables and as the internal energy market is not yet completed; points out that the aim of existing policies to support renewable energy sources is to ensure that they achieve long-term viability and compete in the internal energy market;

28.

Recalls that ensuring a broad energy mix also within renewable energies may enable the potential of local energy resources to be better utilised and contribute to European innovation, competitiveness and security of supply by ensuring that technologies with long-term potential are not squeezed out of the market prematurely;

29.

Regrets the findings of certain studies that suggest that the EU energy policies on renewables and combating climate change are poorly reflected in the draft spending plans for the Structural Funds and the cohesion funds; calls on the Commission to develop guidelines that ensure systematic support for renewable energy technologies and energy efficiency in each Member State and urges the Member States and regional authorities to take full advantage of the possibility of applying the EU's financial instruments for the development and expansion of renewable energy projects;

30.

Commends those Member States which have modified, introduced or are introducing support schemes or have set targets for marine energy; recognises the very significant role played by countries that have provided a stable framework for investment in marine energy projects in reducing the cost of this technology and calls on the Commission and all Member States concerned to follow suit;

31.

Notes the impetus that has been given to concentrating solar power technology in Europe thanks to appropriately chosen market support schemes and European research funding, and expects southern Member States in particular to encourage technological development and reduce the cost of concentrating solar power;

32.

Calls for a review of existing Community legislation that hinders the development of the EU's energy policy priorities, including the future development of large scale tidal projects;

33.

Calls on the Commission and the Member States to ensure that renewables are given high priority in the sustained efforts that are to be made to maximise the use of EU research and technology development programmes; urges the Member States to agree a strategy for increasing the budget for energy research; suggests that this goal be pursued on revision of the 2007-2013 budget;

34.

Welcomes the support from the European Investment Bank for renewable energy sources in the form of preferential loans and urges the Commission and Member States to support such types of funding and encourage them in the public and private sector where there is an interest in the leverage of funds for the development of renewable energy sources;

35.

Urges regional authorities, local authorities and NGOs to avail themselves of funding under FP7, the Structural Funds and the CIP/IEE (Intelligent Energy Europe), which will stimulate research, promote renewable energy technologies, the use of bio-fuels and the development of new modes of energy transport and storage designed to reduce energy losses; furthermore, supports the EURENEW initiative for treaty provisions on renewable energy;

36.

Points out that further research and development is needed into the storage of energy produced from renewable sources, following the example of hydrogen technology; stresses that, to this end, administrative provisions and approval procedures must be simplified and existing obstacles overcome;

Heating and Cooling

37.

Calls on the Commission to ensure that any proposal for a framework directive for renewables contains strong measures for the promotion of renewable heating and cooling with the aim of increasing its share in the EU from the present level of approximately 10 % to at least double that amount by 2020; encourages the Commission to propose innovative solutions to enable all relevant technologies to achieve a high degree of market penetration, such as promoting systematic studies of renewable solutions or supply through heat networks for new buildings and renovations of buildings above a surface area threshold and encourage the reduction of administrative barriers and awareness-raising campaigns;

38.

Recalls that district heating and cooling could offer an essential infrastructure for taking full advantage of renewable energies and recalls the need to stimulate the integration of renewable energy sources into existing district heating networks, since biomass and other renewable energy sources can be efficiently deployed in combination with combined heat and power and the use of surplus heating;

39.

Calls on the Commission to speed up the widespread adoption in all Member States of best practice regulations making it compulsory, at least where existing buildings are substantially renovated and new buildings are built, for a minimum proportion of the heating requirement to be met from renewable sources, as it already is in a growing number of regions and municipalities;

40.

Recalls that 40 % of all EU energy is used in buildings and that there is a huge potential to reduce this consumption so that renewable energies might cover all energy needs in this sector; notes the progress made in the energy design and bio-construction of new buildings where the integration of solar architecture, insulation and renewable energies is leading to low energy, passive energy and even plus energy houses (those which produce more energy over a year than they consume); asks the Commission to develop by the end of 2007 an implementation programme for the large scale deployment of passive and net positive energy houses and buildings in the EU;

41.

Welcomes Parliament's switch to renewables for its electricity uses and urges the other EU institutions to do the same;

42.

Notes that the available statistics on the energy consumption for heating and for cooling purposes are not sufficiently reliable, comparable and transparent, and calls on the Commission and the Member States to develop procedures so as to improve the statistics for these sectors;

43.

Considers that existing boilers offer great scope for the gradual introduction of renewable energy sources; calls on the Commission, before submitting its proposals, to assess the various options, such as a biofuel mix or thermal solar energy;

Transport and biofuels

44.

Calls for the development of a comprehensive, environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable transport policy that is in line with the objectives of Community environmental, climate-related and competition policies, as well as social and regional objectives, in which sustainably produced biofuels may play a role, and also through changes of lifestyle, traffic reduction, and structural measures, such as urban and regional planning; urges the Member States to set ambitious goals regarding the use of renewable energy sources for public transport; calls for the principle of decoupling growth in transport from economic growth and for a stronger commitment to cleaner modes of transport, demand management and a gradual rise in fuel efficiency standards in the transport sector;

45.

Welcomes the Commission's proposal for promoting biofuels and other renewable energies for transport by means of imposing a binding target of 10 %, provided that it can be proved that such fuels are produced in a sustainable way; notes the importance of second and third-generation biofuels becoming commercially available and calls for technological progress to be accelerated in this field; stresses that the sustainable use of biofuels would reduce oil dependency and CO2 emissions in the transport sector; however, finds that a fair balance between food and energy production should be sought;

46.

Believes that the use of hydrogen and electricity-powered cars will play an important role in the future and that hybrid cars are an interim step towards electro-mobility; calls on the Commission to include hybrid electric cars in the Strategic EU Energy Technology plan; asks Member States to support the purchase of low CO2 emission cars through fiscal incentives;

47.

Calls on the Commission to submit measures to promote other alternative fuels that will help to cut emissions from the transport sector, in line with the Action Plan for alternative fuels submitted in 2001, and to examine the possibility of promoting synthetic fuels which can help to diversify energy supply, improve air quality and reduce CO2 emissions;

48.

Emphasises that the production of more fuel-efficient cars continues to be the best way of reducing CO2 emissions and oil consumption per vehicle and is concerned that the message that the Community sends to the car industry should be less focused on the demand for biofuels and more focused on the demand for more fuel efficient vehicles; welcomes, however, the proposal for the revision of the Fuel Quality Directive, which aims to reduce the climate change effect of transport fuels on a well-to-wheel basis in order to improve air quality, promote bioethanol and petrol mixes and allow for higher levels of blending, provided that strong safeguards are put in place to ensure that these fuels are produced in a sustainable way;

49.

Calls on the Commission to develop a mandatory, comprehensive certification scheme, applicable to biofuels both produced within and imported into the EU; believes that the certification criteria should be designed to ensure that the production of biofuels provides significant greenhouse gas savings over the whole life cycle when compared to the conventional fuels they replace and do not cause, directly or indirectly, a loss in biodiversity and water resources, any reduction in carbon stocks through land use change or social problems such as rising food prices and the displacement of people;

50.

Calls on the Commission to seek cooperation with the WTO and similar international organisations in order to secure international acceptance of specific sustainability criteria and the certification system, and thus promote the most sustainable means of production of biofuels worldwide and create a level playing field for all;

51.

Calls on the Council and the Commission to ensure that the EU's bilateral agreements with third countries address trade and investment in renewable energy, include provisions concerning international recognised social compatibility and promote certification so as to prevent environmental dumping; points out that in the field of renewable energy sources the EU also has a responsibility to enable developing countries to develop climate-friendly technologies and to facilitate access to European markets; calls on the Commission to develop innovative mechanisms to fund renewable energy technologies and the transfer of know-how, particularly in the developing world;

52.

Recognises that tax incentives are an important instrument for changing consumer choice from fossil fuels to biofuels and encourages the Member States to consider tax incentive that makes biofuels the economically rational choice; believes, however, that biofuels that do not fulfil sustainability criteria should not be eligible for subsidies or tax exemptions and should not count towards achievement of the biofuels target;

53.

Urges the Commission to ensure that fossil fuels comply with the same requirements as those imposed on biofuels production, including certification systems, greenhouse gas reduction and full cycle analysis, without forgetting the environmental impact of facilities for the extraction and transport of hydrocarbons, illegal discharges at sea and maritime accidents;

54.

Believes that the global effects of biofuels production should be closely monitored and such monitoring used for periodic reviews of the Community's policy and targets;

55.

Calls on the Commission and the Member States to devote more effort to the conversion of biomass to gas, as biomass could be used as source material with which to produce synthetic liquid fuels (GTL) for use in vehicles;

56.

Regrets that the poorest developing countries will be hit earliest and hardest by climate change, even though they have contributed little to the causes of the problem; believes that the European Union can play an important role through the transfer of technology to developing countries;

57.

Urges the Member States to map out potential renewable energy sources in their different regions with a view to exploiting the capacities of each country to the full and thus encouraging the regions to make use of renewable energy sources;

58.

Asks Member States, regions and local authorities to ensure that clear information promoting the technological aspects of photovoltaic electrical generation as well as technical and practical information concerning bio-fuels, biomass, wind, water and geothermal energy and energy efficiency are made available to the general public and socio-economic actors along with information on the financial incentives that are available;

59.

Points out that forest biomass used for energy or for raw materials must be managed according to internationally recognised, high standards of sustainability; emphasises that contributions and commitments from the forest-based sector should be recognised and supported by policies which are conducive to better economic, environmental and social performance;

60.

Urges Member States to seek and compare best practices in the promotion of biomass and biofuel production and use by means of the open method of coordination;

61.

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and the Commission and the governments and parliaments of the Member States.

Primates in scientific experiments

Declaration of the European Parliament on the use of primates in scientific experiments

The European Parliament,

having regard to Rule 116 of its Rules of Procedure,

A.

whereas more than 80 % of respondents to the Commission's 2006 public consultation on the use of animals in experiments considered the use of primates to be unacceptable,

B.

whereas more than 10 000 primates are used in experiments every year in EU laboratories,

C.

noting that almost all primate species share more than 90 % of their DNA with humans and that it is acknowledged that primate species have a capacity to suffer greatly in captivity,

D.

whereas 26 % of primate species are in danger of extinction and primates caught in the wild continue to be used in laboratories; whereas, furthermore, it may be difficult to protect primates from threats such as human consumption if it is perceived that these species are used freely by Western academic institutions for experimentation,

E.

whereas advanced technology and techniques now provide alternative methods that are proving to be more efficient and reliable than experiments on primates, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), microdosing, computer modelling or tissue and cell culture,

F.

noting that despite genetic similarities, there are important differences between humans and other primates, and experiments on primates cannot match the precision of human-based research,

1.

Urges the Commission, the Council and its own Members to use the procedure for the revision of Directive 86/609/EEC as an opportunity to:

(a)

make ending the use of apes and monkeys caught in the wild in scientific experiments an urgent priority,

(b)

establish a timetable for replacing the use of all primates in scientific experiments with alternatives;

2.

Instructs its President to forward this declaration, together with the names of the signatories, to the Council, the Commission and the governments of the Member States.

Emergency call number 112

Declaration of the European Parliament on the European emergency call number 112

The European Parliament,

having regard to Rule 116 of its Rules of Procedure,

A.

acknowledging the importance of an efficient European emergency call number for citizens moving around the EU,

B.

aware that the 112 emergency call number was established in 1991 and that new obligations in connection therewith were introduced in 2002,

C.

having regard to the poor quality of service that has thus far been provided to citizens through the 112 number,

D.

considering that proper implementation of the 112 number calls into play several EU policies (telecommunications, health, internal security and civil protection), and has implications for others (transport, tourism),

E.

considering that the EU needs to establish high quality, interoperable emergency telecommunications between citizens and emergency services with a view to reducing suffering and the loss of human life caused by everyday accidents and major disasters,

1.

Calls upon the Member States and the Commission to engage the necessary processes and resources for ensuring an efficient 112 service throughout the EU;

2.

Calls upon the Commission to organise the evaluation by independent bodies of the real state of implementation of the 112 number throughout the EU, using the methodology developed in 2003;

3.

Calls upon the Commission to consider all relevant policies when addressing the question of emergency telecommunications systems and to build on the example of countries which deal with this issue in new and innovative ways;

4.

Instructs its President to forward this declaration, together with the names of the signatories, to the Council and the Commission.

(Codecision procedure: first reading)

The European Parliament,

having regard to the Commission proposal to the European Parliament and the Council (COM(2006)0604),

(1)  OJ C 139, 14.6.2006, p. 1.

P6_TC1-COD(2006)0197

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 26 September 2007 with a view to the adoption of Regulation (EC) No .../2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing the European Institute of Innovation and Technology

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 157(3) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ║,

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

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

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

Whereas:

(1)

The Lisbon Growth and Jobs Agenda underscores the need to develop conditions which are attractive to investment in knowledge and innovation in Europe to boost competitiveness, growth and jobs in the European Union.

(2)

Member States are primarily responsible for sustaining a strong European industrial, competitive and innovative base. However, the nature and scale of the innovation challenge in the European Union also requires║ action to be taken at Community level.

(3)

The Community should provide support to foster innovation, in particular through the Seventh Framework Programme for Research, Technological Development and Demonstration Activities, the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme, the║ Lifelong Learning Programme and the Structural Funds.

(4)

A new initiative at Community level hereafter referred to as ‘the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (the EIT)’ should be established as a complement to existing Community and national policies and initiatives by fostering the integration of the knowledge triangle — innovation, research and education — across the European Union, thereby facilitating cooperation and exchange and creating synergies between centres of excellence and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular.

(5)

The Brussels European Council of 15 and 16 June 2006 invited the Commission to prepare a formal proposal for the establishment of the EIT to be presented in autumn 2006.

(6)

The EIT should mainly have the objective of contributing to the development of the Community and the Member States innovation capacity, by ▐ involving education, research and innovation activities at high standards of excellence, aiming at facilitating and enhancing networking and cooperation and creating synergies between innovation communities in Europe .

(7)

In order to strengthen effectively the ties and links between innovation, research and higher education, the transfer of these three components to the industrial context and their application must be given priority and made the main focus of the actions of the EIT.

(8)

Through its Governing Board, the EIT should identify strategic long-term challenges for innovation in Europe, particularly in trans- and/or inter-disciplinary areas including those already identified at European level in the strategic research agendas of the European technology platforms and joint technology initiatives as well as the near-market cluster projects of the intergovernmental Eureka initiative , and should provide a transparent and excellence-based selection process for Knowledge and Innovation Communities (hereinafter referred to as ‘KICs’) in these fields. Membership of the Governing Board of the EIT should balance experience from the business and the research/academic worlds.

(9)

Academic and business freedom should be secured for the EIT and the KICs so that they can develop their own entrepreneurial and innovative culture.

(10)

A pilot phase, with a limited number of KICs, is needed in order to properly evaluate the functioning of the EIT and the KICs and where necessary introduce improvements. During this pilot phase, the Governing Board of the EIT should select KICs in areas that help the European Union to face today's challenges and those of tomorrow, such as climate change, sustainable mobility, energy efficiency or the next generation of information and communication technologies.

(11)

In order to contribute to the competitiveness and to reinforce the international attractiveness of the European economy and to make European innovation capacity more visible , the EIT should be able to attract partner organisations, researchers and students from all over the world and to cooperate with third-country organisations by encouraging mobility for researchers and students.

(12)

Since the EIT is intended to be a flagship for European innovation and research, it should be located near existing centres of European excellence and academic reputation in order to best benefit from existing infrastructure.

(13)

In order to increase its attractiveness, the EIT, together with partner institutions, should create an appropriate structure allowing students and graduates to obtain an apprenticeship and/or recruitment in leading partner organisations within KICs.

(14)

The EIT should primarily operate through excellence-driven long-term strategic partnerships on an inter- and/or trans-disciplinary basis of key potential economic and societal interest for Europe. These partnerships should be selected by the EIT Governing Board and designated as KICs. While they should be legally autonomous, the relations between the EIT and the KICs should be based on contractual agreements which ║ set out the ║ rights and obligations of the KICs, ensure an adequate level of coordination and outline the mechanism for monitoring and evaluation of the KICs activities and outcomes.

(15)

There is a need to support education as an integral but often missing component of a comprehensive innovation strategy. The agreement between the EIT and KICs should provide that the qualifications awarded by the higher education institutions which are partner organisations of the KICs should bear the EIT mark . The EIT should promote the recognition of EIT qualifications bearing its mark of excellence in the Member States and outside the European Union . All these activities should be carried out without prejudice to Directive 2005/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 September 2005 on the recognition of professional qualifications (4).

(16)

The EIT should establish clear and transparent guidelines for the management of intellectual and industrial property, which should take due account of the contributions made by the various partner organisations of the KICs and foster the use of intellectual and industrial property under appropriate conditions, including through licensing and should provide appropriate incentives for the EIT and partners, including individuals involved, KICs and partner organisations as well as for spin-offs and for commercial exploitation. Where activities are funded under the Community Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development, the rules of those programmes should apply.

(17)

In order to guarantee structured cooperation and regular exchanges of views, the EIT should ensure periodic dialogue between the KICs and civil society.

(18)

Appropriate provisions guaranteeing the liability , autonomy and transparency of the EIT ▐ should be adopted in its statutes ║.

(19)

In order to guarantee the functional autonomy and independence of the EIT, it should possess legal personality and administer its own budget whose revenue should include a contribution from the Community as well as contributions from Member States and private organisations, national or international bodies or institutions, revenues generated by the EIT's own activities in connection with intellectual and industrial property management or endowments. The EIT should seek to attract an increasing financial contribution from private organisations.

(20)

The Community budgetary procedure should be applicable as far as the Community subsidy and any other grants chargeable to the general budget of the European Union are concerned.

(21)

This Regulation establishes a financial framework for the period 2008 to 2013. However, by virtue of point 14 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (IIA) (5) , no act adopted under the codecision procedure by the European Parliament and the Council nor any act adopted by the Council which involves exceeding the appropriations available in the general budget of the European Union or the allocations available in the financial framework should be implemented in financial terms until the general budget of the European Union has been amended and, if necessary, the financial framework has been appropriately revised in accordance with the relevant procedure for each of these cases .

(22)

The EIT is a body set up by the Communities within the meaning of Article 185(1) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (6) (hereinafter referred to as ‘the ║Financial Regulation’) and point 47 of the IIA, and should adopt appropriate financial rules accordingly.

(23)

The Governing Board of the EIT should adopt a rolling triennial work programme that should be examined by the Commission, with regard to its complementarity with Community policies and instruments, and an annual report, including a full statement of accounts, which should be transmitted to the Commission, ▐ the European Parliament, the Council and the Court of Auditors.

(24)

It is appropriate that the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission should be entitled to address an opinion on the EIT work programme and its annual report, including the statement of accounts.

(25)

Since the establishment of the EIT is a new initiative, the effects of which are uncertain and difficult to predict, the Commission should extensively and regularly review the operation and effects of the EIT, taking into account alternative design options for the EIT and, where necessary, make proposals for the amendment of this Regulation.

(26)

Since the proposal for the establishment of the EIT was submitted after the adoption of the multiannual financial framework and the Community multiannual programmes in the fields of education, research and innovation under the codecision procedure, funds allocated to such Community programmes should not be used to finance the EIT, and all possibilities offered by the IIA should be explored.

(27)

Since the objectives of the proposed action cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States acting alone , and can therefore, by reason of scale and of trans-nationality, 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 those objectives,

HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

AMENDMENTS BY PARLIAMENT

Amendment 1

RECITAL 1

(1) The Commission report on the application to the 2004 elections of Council Directive 93/109/EC laying down detailed arrangements for the exercise of the right to vote and stand as a candidate in elections to the European Parliament for citizens of the Union residing in a Member State of which they are not nationals revealed the need to amend certain provisions of the Directive.

(1) The Commission report on the application to the 2004 elections of Council Directive 93/109/EC laying down detailed arrangements for the exercise of the right to vote and stand as a candidate in elections to the European Parliament for citizens of the Union residing in a Member State of which they are not nationals revealed the need to amend certain provisions of the Directive. Union citizenship guarantees the same rights for all EU citizens, whether they were born, or live, in the Union itself or in a third country. The Community institutions must therefore be vigilant in ensuring that citizens of the Union resident in a Member State other than their own are able to exercise their rights in the case of elections to the European Parliament.

Amendment 2

RECITAL 1A (new)

 

(1a) The increasing mobility of people across the internal borders of the Union reinforces the need to provide fully portable democratic rights in the case of both European Parliamentary and municipal elections, as well as the need to ensure that citizens do not lose their democratic rights because they live in a Member State other than their own.

Amendment 3

RECITAL 2A (new)

 

(2a) The latter prohibition goes beyond what is necessary to ensure that citizens of the Union are not discriminated against on grounds of nationality when exercising their right to stand as a candidate. Member States should have the discretion to decide whether to allow candidacies in more than one State for the same election, and political parties should be left to decide whether to encourage such multiple candidacies.

Amendment 4

RECITAL 2B (new)

 

(2b) The Act of 20 September 1976 concerning the election of members of the European Parliament by direct universal suffrage (5) provides that, where the primary law is silent, electoral law shall be subject to national provisions; moreover, the primary law expressly prohibits multiple voting but is silent on the issue of multiple candidacy.

Amendment 5

RECITAL 3A (new)

 

(3a) The mandatory recognition, by the Member State of residence, of a disqualification with regard to the right to stand as a candidate is an additional condition for the exercise of that right, which is not covered by either the letter or the spirit of Article 19(2) of the EC Treaty. The Member State of residence should be entitled to establish whether an individual would have been deprived of the right to stand for election under the national law of that State under the same circumstances and in the same manner, and to decide on its own behalf whether to recognise the disqualification applicable in the home State.

Amendment 6

RECITAL 3B (new)

 

(3b) The Council should not go beyond the intention expressed in the primary law provisions, and the ‘detailed arrangements’ prescribed in Directive 93/109/EC under the terms of Article 19(2) of the EC Treaty should be limited to what is strictly necessary in order to give effect to the two intended rights, i.e. the right to vote and to stand for election in a State other than one's own, and should not introduce conditions for the exercise of those rights other than, or in addition to, those provided for in the law of the State of residence.

Amendment 7

RECITAL 5

(5) The requirement for candidates to submit this attestation should accordingly be abolished and replaced by an item to that effect in the formal declaration that candidates must produce.

(5) The requirement for candidates to submit this attestation should accordingly be abolished and replaced by an optional item to that effect in the formal declaration that candidates must produce.

Amendment 8

RECITAL 6

(6) Host Member States should be placed under an obligation to notify the home Member State of this declaration in order to ensure that the Community candidate was not actually deprived of this right in the Member State of origin.

deleted

Amendment 9

RECITAL 9

(9) The exchange of information should accordingly be abolished but the obligation for the voter or candidate to produce a declaration undertaking to exercise his right to vote or to stand as a candidate only in the Member State of residence should be maintained.

(9) The exchange of information should accordingly be abolished but the obligation for the voter to produce a declaration undertaking to exercise his right to vote only in the Member State of residence should be maintained.

Amendment 10

RECITAL 10

(10) Moreover, as a deterrent to voting or standing as a candidate twice and to exercising the right to vote or stand despite being deprived of these rights, Member States of residence should take measures to ensure that violations of the obligations provided for by the Directive are subject to proper penalties .

(10) Moreover, Member States of residence should take measures to ensure that inaccuracies in formal declarations made by citizens of the Union and provided for by the Directive are subject to proper sanctions .

Amendment 11

RECITAL 10A (new)

 

(10a) Member States have a duty, under Article 12 of Directive 93/109/EC, to fully inform citizens of the Union of their right to vote and to stand as a candidate in their Member State of residence in good time before each European Parliamentary election; Member States should be supported by the European Parliament and the Commission, and by political parties at both European and national levels, in choosing best practice in that regard, in order to improve the degree of participation in the elections.

Amendment 12

RECITAL 11

(11) In the report that it is required to prepare on the application of the amended Directive to the elections to the European Parliament in 2009, the Commission, on the basis of the information provided by the Member States, should base its analysis in particular on the results of checks and inspections conducted by the Member States after the elections with a view to measuring the frequency of double voting and double candidacies , if any.

(11) In the report that it is required to prepare on the application of the amended Directive to the elections to the European Parliament in 2009, the Commission, on the basis of the information provided by the Member States, should base its analysis in particular on the results of checks and inspections conducted by the Member States after the elections with a view to measuring the frequency of multiple voting, if any.

Amendment 13

RECITAL 12

(12) A routine check of all the votes and of all the candidacies would be disproportionate to the problems identified, and there would be problems of feasibility since there are in the Member States no uniform electronic methods of recording and storing data on the actual turnout at the poll and on the candidacies deposited ; Member States should accordingly target their checks on the situations where there is a greater probability of double voting or double candidacies ,

(12) A routine check of all the votes would be disproportionate to the problems identified, and there would be problems of feasibility since there are in the Member States no uniform electronic methods of recording and storing data on the actual turnout at the poll; Member States should accordingly target their checks on the situations where there is a greater probability of multiple voting,

Dangerous toys manufactured in China

European Parliament resolution of 26 September 2007 on the safety of products and particularly toys

The European Parliament,

having regard to Council Directive 88/378/EEC of 3 May 1988 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning the safety of toys (1) (the Toys Directive),

having regard to Directive 2001/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 December 2001 on general product safety (2),

having regard to opinions of the scientific committees of the Commission and to various studies undertaken by the Commission on the issue of toy safety,

having regard to existing international agreements with third countries in the area of product safety, especially that of toys,

having regard to Rule 103(4) of its Rules of Procedure,

A.

whereas in August and September 2007 a series of large-scale voluntary recalls relating to unsafe toys that are harmful to health raised public concern in the EU,

B.

whereas these recalls have raised awareness of the problem that in spite of product harmonisation and an EU-wide market surveillance system, unsafe products are still produced, imported and marketed within the EU,

C.

whereas responsibility for a high level of consumer protection is a political and social priority, and rests with the legislator, who must ensure product safety throughout the chain of economic operators (suppliers, manufacturers, importers),

D.

whereas these voluntary recalls are due partially to injuries, partially to monitoring of the undertakings concerned, but not to efficient market surveillance; whereas there is a real concern that not all producers and importers act in accordance with the rules,

E.

whereas in 2006, 48 % of detected unsafe products originated from China, 21 % from the EU-25 and 17 % were of unidentified origin; whereas 24 % of all detected unsafe products are children's toys; whereas a very high proportion of toys marketed in the EU are sourced from China,

F.

whereas recalls of unsafe toys are fully justified, but are merely a means of last resort that does not provide effective consumer protection because, apart from the fact that they often come late, the average return rate for toy recalls is very low, meaning that the vast majority of unsafe toys normally remain with consumers,

G.

whereas the supervision of markets and of entry into the EU and bans on the marketing of defective products are the responsibility of the Member States,

H.

whereas the Commission has brought forward a proposal for a decision of the European Parliament and of the Council on a common framework for the marketing of products (COM(2007)0053) and a proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council setting out the requirements for accreditation and market surveillance relating to the marketing of products (COM(2007)0037),

1.

Calls on the Commission and the Member States to take all necessary legislative and administrative action to ensure that consumer goods that are marketed within the EU not only comply fully with existing EU standards but also do not put the health and safety of consumers at risk;

Revision of the Toys Directive

2.

Calls on the Commission to present the planned revision of the Toys Directive by the end of 2007, making sure the revised directive includes efficient and effective requirements for product safety; as public health and consumer protection considerations play an important part in the Toys Directive, is of the opinion that much clearer provisions are needed to ensure the safety of products and to provide consumers with confidence in their safe use;

3.

Calls on the Commission in the revision of the Toys Directive to follow an approach in which specific implementing measures for the key requirements are to be adopted in comitology by means of the regulatory procedure with scrutiny, thus allowing Parliament a certain level of control over the implementation of toy safety provisions;

4.

Calls on the Commission in the revision of the Toys Directive to propose unconditionalprohibitions of certain hazardous chemicals, such as all substances that are carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction in categories 1, 2 or 3, and of other toxic substances of similar high concern, such as endocrine disrupters, sensitisers or fragrances;

5.

Calls on the Commission to improve enforcement of the Toys Directive, including by providing effective sanctions for non-compliance;

Control of CE and other markings

6.

Calls on the Commission to ensure that the CE marking is a guarantee of compliance with EU technical legislation, and stresses that the CE marking, given its self-regulatory character, was never intended to be an EU-wide safety mark;

7.

Urges the Commission to assess the added value of creating a common European Consumer Safety Label, complementary to the CE marking, to be used by all economic operators, thus helping the consumer to make an informed choice between products;

8.

Underlines that this European Consumer Safety Label must be voluntary and, when adopted by a producer, should replace all national safety labels;

9.

Encourages the Commission to strongly intervene, together with the Member States, to defend consumers' rights whenever there is evidence of deceptive behaviour and/or use of fraudulent or misleading origin markings by foreign producers and importers;

10.

Urges the Commission and the Member States to establish strong credibility for the CE marking through early adoption of legislative proposals for stronger control and surveillance of the market supported by proper customs surveillance and enforcement mechanisms;

11.

Calls on the Commission to clarify the liability of producers and importers in the event of misuse of the CE marking; considers that adequate penalties for misuse should be provided for; calls for misuse of other voluntary markings also to be made subject to penalties;

RAPEX system

12.

Calls on the Commission to increase the effectiveness of the Community Rapid Information System (RAPEX system) so as to ensure that Member States can detect the maximum number of unsafe products in order to ensure their withdrawal or recall from the market;

13.

Calls on the Commission to include monitoring and reporting in the RAPEX system in order to make it possible to measure the effectiveness of product recalls;

Product traceability and measures against counterfeiting

14.

Considers that consumers are entitled to know the origin of products imported into the EU and that surveillance authorities must have proper information with which to trace the source of products;

15.

Calls on the Council to agree without delay on the current Commission proposal for a Council regulation on the indication of the country of origin of certain products imported from third countries (COM(2005)0661);

16.

Notes the growing threat to consumer safety caused by counterfeit products and calls on the Council and the Commission to step up information exchanges and cross-border cooperation in order to control and destroy counterfeit imports;

Ban on imports of dangerous consumer goods

17.

Calls on the Commission to clarify, on a case-by-case basis, the procedure to be followed as regards import bans when safety standards are regularly not met;

18.

Urges the Commission to use its powers to ban consumer goods from the market if they are found to be unsafe;

Cooperation with China and other third countries

19.

Calls on the Commission and the Member States to reinforce cooperation with the relevant authorities in those third countries that are major exporters of consumer goods to the EU, and in particular with the Chinese General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ), in particular by providing technical assistance in order to implement health and safety rules and improve customs cooperation;

20.

Calls on the Commission to provide technical assistance to third country authorities in order to ensure the implementation of health and safety rules throughout the entire production chain, as well as to improve inspection and customs cooperation;

21.

Calls on the Commission to clarify its current trade policy in relation to potential dangerous products in general, and toys and textiles in particular, and to clarify how it intends to ensure consistency between the restrictive application of current rules and the compelling necessity to guarantee the right of European citizens to safe products;

22.

Calls on the Commission to include common health and safety standards in the negotiations on the next generation of Partnership and Cooperation Agreements and Free Trade Agreements and to set up mechanisms to monitor how such standards are met;

23.

Calls on the Member States to cooperate actively with all trading partners with regard to market surveillance and product safety; calls on the Transatlantic Economic Council (TEC) to include those issues on its list of items for consideration;

Role of the Member States

24.

Calls on the Member States to ensure the strict enforcement of product safety laws, particularly in relation to toys, and to step up efforts to improve market surveillance and national inspections in particular;

25.

Calls on the Member States to make sufficient resources available so as to be able to carry out comprehensive and effective checks; calls on the Member States actively to follow all instructions concerning defective products, including the testing of potentially unsafe consumer goods;

26.

Calls on the Member States to make full use, in compliance with Community law, of all possible legal means available to them of ensuring that non-compliant or unsafe toys are prevented from being placed on the market or are withdrawn or recalled from the market;

27.

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission and the governments of the Member States.

Towards a common European foreign policy on energy

European Parliament resolution of 26 September 2007 on towards a common European foreign policy on energy (2007/2000(INI))

The European Parliament,

having regard to the Commission Green Paper entitled ‘A European Strategy for Sustainable, Competitive and Secure Energy’ (COM(2006)0105),

having regard to the first meeting of the EU Network of Energy Security Correspondents (NESCO), held on 10 May 2007 in Brussels,

having regard to the joint paper by the Commission and the Council's Secretary-General/High Representative (SG/HR) entitled ‘An external policy to serve Europe's energy interests’, submitted to the European Council of 15-16 June 2006,

having regard to its position of 18 May 2006 on the proposal for a Council decision on the conclusion by the European Community of the Energy Community Treaty (1),

having regard to its resolution of 23 March 2006 on security of energy supply in the European Union (2),

having regard to its resolution of 1 June 2006 on Energy efficiency or doing more with less — Green Paper (3),

having regard to the Commission Communication to the European Council of 12 October 2006 entitled ‘External energy relations — from principles to action’ (COM(2006)0590),

having regard to its resolution of 14 December 2006 on a European strategy for sustainable, competitive and secure energy — Green Paper (4),

having regard to its resolution of 16 November 2006 on a Baltic Sea Strategy for the Northern Dimension (5), in particular Part II thereof,

having regard to the Presidency Conclusions of the European Council of 23-24 March 2006, concerning the European Council's endorsement of the Green Paper on an Energy Policy for Europe, and of 15-16 June 2006 concerning the joint paper by the Commission and the SG/HR on the external aspects of energy security,

having regard to the Presidency Conclusions of the European Council of 21-22 June 2007, concerning the mandate for the Intergovernmental Conference to draw up a Reform Treaty amending the existing Treaties,

having regard to the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe, under which energy is a field in which there is shared competence with the Member States,

having regard to the Communication from the Commission to the European Council and the European Parliament entitled ‘An Energy Policy for Europe’ (COM(2007)0001),

having regard to the Communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament entitled ‘Strengthening the European Neighbourhood Policy’ (COM(2006)0726),

having regard to the Presidency Conclusions of the European Council of 8-9 March 2007, and the European Council's Action Plan (2007-2009) for an Energy Policy for Europe (EPE),

having regard to the Communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament entitled ‘Black Sea Synergy — A New Regional Cooperation Initiative’ (COM(2007)0160),

having regard to Rule 45 of its Rules of Procedure,

having regard to the report of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the opinions of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy, the Committee on Development, the Committee on International Trade and the Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (A6-0312/2007),

A.

whereas energy security must be regarded as an essential component of the overall security of the European Union, as well as a key element for the pursuit of economic and social development in Europe, for which, however, there is still no basis under the Treaties,

B.

whereas, due to current existing and increasing energy supply dependency on largely unstable and undemocratic countries, efforts to ensure security of supply exclusively at the national level have proved to be insufficient and do not guarantee the long-term interests of all EU Member States; whereas the EU's external energy policy is closely linked to its internal energy policy and there is a need to create a common energy policy with regard to internal market regulation as well as external aspects that take into account the political and economic interests of all Member States,

C.

whereas the present vulnerability and high energy dependency of the EU on countries with authoritarian regimes deeply undermine the development of a credible, effective and consistent common foreign and security policy with regard, in particular, to respect for, and the support and promotion of, the values upon which the EU is founded,

D.

whereas the EU internal energy market principles could serve as a basis for constructive policies with external EU energy partners, taking into account the particular characteristics of the third countries concerned, especially with a view to supporting sustainable energy development, including the development of energy efficiency and renewable energy sources,

E.

whereas security of supply at affordable and predictable prices has to be guaranteed at EU level by strong political cooperation as well as the completion of the internal energy market through further steps towards energy liberalisation,

F.

whereas energy should not be used as a tool for the exertion of political pressure on transit and recipient countries,

G.

whereas the gas sector is currently very vulnerable to external threats; whereas new forms of closer cooperation are being developed between gas exporting countries, which could endanger European energy security,

H.

whereas a common European foreign policy on energy, based on solidarity and diversification and on the promotion of sustainability, would create synergies ensuring security of supply for the European Union and would enhance the EU's strength, capacity for action in foreign policy matters and credibility as a global actor,

I.

whereas a sustainable, reliable and affordable energy supply must be secured; whereas international oil and gas prices are very volatile and a coherent EU foreign policy for energy is therefore in the interest of EU citizens,

J.

whereas close cooperation in the field of supply of energy constitutes one of the most effective and indispensable confidence-building measures in relations between the European Union and neighbouring countries,

K.

whereas a basis for solidarity in the area of energy policy can become a precedent for future solidarity in other areas and thus help to strengthen the role of the EU in its external relations,

L.

whereas a reliable risk assessment of energy security should be established as part of a common European foreign policy on energy, and whereas in this connection the recently established NESCO should play a decisive role, in which the necessary monitoring capacities for an early warning system must also be in place,

M.

whereas joint efforts should be redoubled in the field of research into, and utilisation of, renewable energies and energy efficiency, both within the EU and in cooperation with external partners and third countries,

1.

Calls for the development of a common European foreign policy on energy which would significantly contribute to guaranteeing energy security for the whole of the EU, while at the same time pursuing the objective of sustainability at the international level, thus providing EU citizens with substantial added value to efforts made at national level;

2.

Considers that energy policy must be an integrated and prominent part of the common foreign policy, and that energy policy should be taken into account in all foreign policy contexts;

3.

Stresses that, whilst the Member States should retain their sovereign right to make strategic choices concerning the energy mix, to exploit their energy resources and to decide on the supply structures, there is a need to elaborate concrete provisions, to be included in the Treaties, leading to the creation of a common European foreign policy on energy, covering security of supply, transit and investment related to energy security, and the promotion of energy efficiency and energy savings as well as clean and renewable energy sources, particularly in relations with countries whose energy consumption is growing rapidly;

4.

Calls for a suitable Treaty basis for energy and energy security;

5.

Stresses that a comprehensive European foreign policy on energy must contribute to the promotion and implementation of the values and interests of the European Union and the main aims of its foreign policy, namely the safeguarding of peace and the primacy of human rights, democracy and the rule of law; recognises that the EU's dependency on imported energy may have significant effects on the independence of its decision-making in other policy areas;

6.

Regards it as vital for the EU to continue to lead the global fight against climate change, which among other risks may lead to substantial migratory movements and security threats, and to fulfil the targets of the Kyoto Protocol to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change; in this context, fully supports the ongoing efforts to forge a multilateral post-2012 framework to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; considers it necessary to integrate the EU's endeavours in the development of renewable and clean energy sources and energy-saving technologies, including carbon capture and storage, into all external relations;

7.

Welcomes the creation of NESCO; calls on the Member States and the Commission to consolidate its activity with a view to fully developing its operational capabilities and using it as an effective early warning system in case of energy security threats, as well as a system of information exchange in the field of energy;

8.

Supports a gradual approach in progressing towards a common European foreign policy on energy;

9.

Calls on the Council and the Commission to set up, by the end of 2007, a precise road map leading to the formation of such policy, indicating short, medium and long-term objectives, targets and steps, with a specific time-frame for implementing them;

10.

Calls on the Commission to submit an annual progress report concerning the implementation of the abovementioned objectives, in order to allow the Parliament to be closely involved in the monitoring of the common European foreign policy on energy;

11.

Calls on the Commission to prepare annual reports concerning observance of the rules governing the internal market in the energy sector, notably as regards transparency and compliance with EU competition law, by third-country companies, especially main suppliers, together with all of their subsidiaries; welcomes the invitation extended by the European Council of 8-9 March 2007 to the Commission to assess the impact of vertically integrated energy companies from third countries on the internal market and how to implement the principle of reciprocity;

12.

Supports the Commission's intention to take appropriate measures to prevent uncontrolled investment by state-owned foreign companies in the EU's energy sector, in particular the gas and electricity transmission networks;

13.

Calls for closer coordination between the Presidency, the Commission and the SG/HR so that they may speak and act jointly with one voice on issues concerning a common foreign policy on energy; considers it necessary to strengthen the role of the Commission and the Parliament in defining the common foreign policy on energy in the forthcoming revision of the Treaties; proposes, after the new Reform Treaty enters into force, to appoint, with the approval of the Council and the Commission, a High Official for Foreign Energy Policy, who, wearing a ‘double hat’, would act under the authority of the newly created strengthened High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, a Vice-President of the Commission, thus being anchored both in the Council and in the Commission, and who should be responsible for coordinating all policies under the scope of the common European foreign policy on energy, thereby contributing to the EU's ability to protect its energy security interests in negotiating with the EU's external partners;

14.

Is convinced that the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) should be the cornerstone of the common European foreign policy on energy as it is the international community's most significant instrument for the promotion of cooperation in the energy sector, provides a basis for fair and equitable treatment, ensures security of investments and guarantees a right to compensation in the event of expropriation and/or nationalisation; calls on the Commission and the Council to strongly demand the application of the ECT, and to include the substance of its Transit Protocol in all treaties and agreements with its energy partners;

15.

Encourages the Member States and the Commission to pursue efforts to promote within the EU neighbourhood, in cooperation with third countries, the extension of the principles and norms of the internal market; urges the Commission, therefore, to consider extending the European Energy Community comprising the EU and South Eastern Europe, to other third countries, as appropriate, and creating new regional energy markets modelled thereon, such as a Euro-Mediterranean energy community, to ensure security of supply;

Underlying principles and recommendations for action within a common European foreign policy on energy

A.   Diversification

16.

Is of the opinion that, taking into consideration the increasing dependence of the EU on a limited number of energy sources, suppliers and transport routes, it is essential to support the priority initiatives aimed at their diversification, both geographically and by developing sustainable alternatives; believes that special priority should be given to environmentally safe and renewable energy sources; considers that security of supply at affordable and predictable prices must be a major goal for the EU;

17.

Supports the prioritisation of all the energy diversification projects realised within the neighbourhood — especially those aimed at creating new transport corridors which diversify both suppliers and routes, such as the Trans-Caspian/trans-Black Sea energy corridor — in particular the construction of the Nabucco pipeline, liquefied natural gas infrastructure (LNG), the interconnection of electricity grids and the completion of the Euro-Mediterranean electricity and gas infrastructure rings as well as the realisation of new oil infrastructure projects of European interest such as the Odessa-Gdańsk and Constanta-Trieste projects which should be included in the list of high-priority projects of European interest;

18.

Welcomes the nomination of EU coordinators for priority projects of European interest, as defined by the European Council in the Presidency Conclusions of March 2007, in particular for the Nabucco project and the Power-Link between Germany, Poland and Lithuania;

19.

Calls on the Commission and the Member States to pursue active policies at the highest political level so as to enable the Community to diversify its natural gas sources; expects that any cooperation between gas exporting countries would respect an open, transparent and competitive market; considers that an initiative to create a gas version of OPEC would be contrary to that aim;

20.

Notes that it is essential to move beyond declarations and open bids for concrete priority projects, and calls for the High Official for Foreign Energy Policy, upon being appointed, to be also responsible for coordinating the engagement in developing external energy infrastructure, such as the Nabucco and Odessa-Gdańsk projects; meanwhile, calls on the Commission, the Presidency and the SG/HR to strengthen the commitment to developing external energy infrastructures, together with the European coordinators;

21.

Considers that the realisation of the energy diversification projects should be one of the priorities of the strengthened European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP), and calls for enhanced support for improvement of the investment climate and the regulatory framework, based on the principles of the ECT, in the energy sectors of the producer and transit countries;

22.

Calls for recognition of the diversity of situations in which various Member States find themselves when it comes to energy mix, import dependency and infrastructure, and supports all efforts aimed at overcoming the existing dependencies of Member States on dominant suppliers, on infrastructure limitations, on carbon-intensive sources of energy and on energy imports from countries that systematically violate the letter and spirit of the UN Charter;

23.

Supports all efforts aimed at establishing new sources for financing all important undertakings, including special loans from the European Investment Bank (EIB), as well as earmarking for that very purpose special budgetary lines within the EU budget, provided that they do not undermine the security of any Member State;

24.

Calls for the improvement of cooperation with the EIB and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), with a view to using financial instruments to back up priority projects;

25.

Considers potential import dependency on biofuels to be as worrying as dependence on external supplies of oil or gas; calls on the Commission to develop, together with the EU's partners, a global certification scheme which can ensure the sustainability of the production and use of biofuels that do not pose a threat to biodiversity, together with standards for the cultivation and processing phases as well as for the overall life-cycle balance of greenhouse gases;

26.

In the context of incentives for biofuel or biomass use in the EU, regards it as imperative for the EU to ascertain that such use does not threaten global food security or lead to increased pressure on natural forests, an expansion in monocultures or exotic species plantations, or the exacerbation of climate change through tropical deforestation;

B.   Unity in defending the EU's interests

27.

Considers it inevitable for the Union to develop a long-term strategy and framework leading to the creation of a common foreign policy on energy, in order to adopt a strong position in dialogue with main supplier countries and to enhance the ability to speak with one voice in the discussions held at the EU, Member State and industry levels, which will provide a platform for solidarity in other policy areas and for strengthening the external role of the Union;

28.

In the short term, calls on the Member States to keep each other and the Commission informed of, and moreover to consult each other and the Commission on, strategic decisions concerning major bilateral agreements with third countries on energy projects which could affect the interests of other Member States and the EU as a whole, as should be done in respect of all foreign policy questions of common interest; and, where bilateral agreements have been reached that run contrary to the interests of other Member States and the EU as a whole, calls on the Member States and, where appropriate, the Commission to work together to reach agreement ensuring the neutralisation of any negative effects, in particular as regards environmental impact, in accordance with the principle of solidarity;

29.

Calls on the Member States and the Commission to ensure that a full environmental impact assessment is carried out before deciding on major infrastructure investments; in particular, urges them to consider the threat to ecosystems and human life represented by the planned North European Pipe Line/Nord Stream due to the existence of ammunition and weapons dumps on the seabed along the path of the planned pipeline at the bottom of the Baltic Sea; points out that, should a major ecological disaster occur, the financial responsibility should lie with the parties involved;

30.

In the medium term, calls for the Commission to be vested with institutional competence to negotiate EU framework agreements with third countries concerning energy supply;

C.   Solidarity in crisis situations

31.

Considering that solidarity and energy security are necessary for the smooth functioning of the internal market, including equal access to energy for all economic operators, calls on the Council and the Member States to create a solidarity mechanism, in accordance with the spirit of solidarity between Members States referred to in the new Reform Treaty agreed upon by the European Council in June 2007, which would allow the EU to act efficiently, swiftly and coherently in crisis situations caused by disruption of supply, damage to critical infrastructure or any other event;

32.

Calls on the Commission to support the so-called ‘energy security clause’ to be included in trade, association, and partnership and cooperation agreements with producer and transit countries, which would lay down a code of conduct and explicitly outline measures to be taken in the event of disruption, or any unilateral change in the terms of the contract or in the terms of supply by one of the partners;

33.

Supports the creation of an efficient mechanism, to include NESCO, with which to react in the event of supply disruptions, including measures to make effective use of warning systems and build up an interconnecting EU energy crisis infrastructure, especially for gas and electricity, which could be used to assist Member States in need, taking into account the geological and geographic features of those Member States, particularly as regards storage capacities and their proximity to sources of energy supply;

D.   Strengthened cooperation with major producer, transit and consumer countries

34.

Calls on the EU and the Member States to further engage actively in a close dialogue between the EU and all major producer, transit and consumer countries and, in particular, to step up relations in the energy sector with Algeria, Egypt and the other producer countries in the Mashreq/Maghreb region; encourages those countries to fulfil their international commitments and to adhere to international law;

35.

Supports all steps aimed at promoting transparency, the rule of law and improved governance in the energy sector through energy partnerships with third countries, with the objective of creating mutually beneficial, open, transparent, non-discriminatory and stable legal conditions for access to upstream assets and for energy investment and trade, to be based on the principle of reciprocity and fair and transparent competition, ensuring that the income from energy trading will not be misused and diverted to finance terrorism;

36.

Stresses the need to pursue research and development partnerships with major consumer and transit countries outside the EU, in order to tackle the challenge of global warming and develop alternative and renewable energy sources; underlines that enhanced energy cooperation with such third countries, including the United States, should be carried out with particular regard to the development of energy-efficient technologies and the promotion of combined heat and power from renewable and sustainable biomass production and use;

37.

Calls on the EU to build a dialogue with developing countries on energy issues in order to enhance the decentralisation of renewable energies, energy accessibility and sustainability as well as energy infrastructure of common interest;

38.

Underlines, in particular, the importance of enhanced energy dialogue with the United States and other key energy partners that share EU values; calls on the Community institutions to aim at establishing an Energy Security Partnership with the United States;

39.

Calls for the active involvement of European countries that are not Member States — such as Norway, the world's third largest oil exporter — in a common European foreign policy on energy;

40.

Calls for a coherent energy policy in all European foreign policy areas, such as the Northern Dimension, Black Sea Synergy and the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership;

41.

Supports the initiatives of the Commission to develop a closer energy dialogue with the countries in the South Caucasus, Caspian and Central Asia regions, as well as the Mediterranean region and the Middle East; welcomes the EU's move towards an approach of ‘critical and constructive dialogue’ vis-à-vis the countries of the region which balances the EU's interest in diversifying its oil and gas supplies and the goal of achieving political reforms in those countries;

42.

Calls for the development of the existing mechanisms, and the creation of new ones, within the ENP and the Black Sea Synergy leading to a deepening of the cooperation with the transit countries — Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, the countries of South Caucasus, the Mashreq and the Maghreb — in order to allow for greater transparency of market operation and provide for stability of supply and transit;

43.

Underlines the importance of Turkey as a transit hub for the diversification of gas supplies to the EU; expects Turkey to fully cooperate with the EU in facilitating transit;

44.

Encourages Turkey to join, as a full member, the European Energy Community, which currently extends to the South Eastern European countries and provides a structured regulatory framework for deepening regional energy cooperation, thus improving energy security and underpinning investment; supports the application by Ukraine, Norway and Moldova for membership of the European Energy Community;

45.

Calls on the Commission, in addition to NESCO, to develop tools and mechanisms allowing it to cooperate better with its neighbours in analysing and monitoring the situation in the transit areas, thus increasing the EU's ability to prevent crisis situations and to react in a more effective and rapid manner if a crisis were to occur;

46.

Stresses the importance of the EU's energy partnership with Russia, while pointing out that Russia continues to be almost entirely dependent on the EU market and its individual larger-scale European consumers in its energy exports; urges the EU to emphasise the mutual interdependence aspects in the EU-Russia energy dialogue; draws attention to the fact that the energy partnership between the EU and Russia can only be based on the principle of non-discrimination and fair treatment and on equal market access conditions;

47.

Emphasises that Russia is already bound by the ECT pursuant to Article 45 thereof (6); is convinced that, in addition to the need for Russia to ratify the ECT, the EU should negotiate a formal framework document on energy relations with Russia in the context of the future Partnership and Cooperation Agreement; regards the mere transposition of the ECT principles into the future Partnership and Cooperation Agreement as redundant, while acknowledging the added value of provisions clarifying or supplementing the obligations contained in the ECT, in particular those contained in its Transit Protocol;

48.

Stresses that the ratification of the ECT would be a visible and tangible demonstration of Russia's commitment to a reliable energy supply and to energy cooperation based on common principles and values;

49.

Calls on the Council and the Commission to use their leverage to persuade Russia to commit itself to open, fair and transparent markets for energy production and supply; considers that the ratification by Russia of the ECT and its Transit Protocol would have a positive influence on the European Union's support for Russian accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO);

50.

Expresses its concern about the general inefficiency of the Russian energy system, both in terms of exploration and transport and in industrial and domestic use, which may have severe implications for Russia's supply obligations; calls on the Commission to address this issue in its technical cooperation with Russia;

51.

Stresses that the principle of developing environment-friendly and energy-efficient technologies should be incorporated into a new agreement between the EU and Russia; emphasises the importance of increasing EU-Russia cooperation on environmental matters within the framework of the Northern Dimension, in particular as regards the Arctic region;

52.

Calls on the Commission to demand, within the dialogue with the main suppliers of hydrocarbons to the EU, the equal treatment of European companies, exclusively based on economic criteria and without any interference by political factors in the establishment of acquisition prices;

53.

Calls on the Commission to prepare a report on the destination clauses regarding gas supplies, which are de facto preventing re-export of gas within the internal market, and calls on the Commission to enforce the abolition of any such clauses contained in any contracts for natural gas on the EU market, inasmuch as they are prohibited by EC law;

54.

Calls for the stepping-up of the dialogue with China, India, Brazil and other emerging countries and developing countries, in order to build a stable and predictable global energy market which is based on fair and transparent rules and is in addition aimed at a united effort in combating global warming and maintaining sustainable development;

55.

Calls for an intensified relationship with the Middle East and North Africa in the energy sector; outlines the importance of the future EU-Africa Energy Partnership, the launch of which is planned to take place at the EU-Africa Summit on 7-8 December 2007 in Lisbon as one of the main initiatives within the Joint EU-Africa Strategy; considers that the energy partnership should contribute to strengthening the Africa-EU dialogue on access to energy and energy security, scaling up investment in energy infrastructure and in renewable energies and energy efficiency, amplifying the development-oriented use of oil and gas revenues, promoting transparency and mainstreaming climate change into energy and development cooperation;

56.

Calls on the Commission to promote fair competition at the international level by taking action within the WTO in support of specific rules on the transparency of the energy market and, in particular, on trade-distorting measures;

57.

Recommends that the Commission evaluate, within the WTO, the possibility of negotiating plurilateral agreements for specific energy markets, such as biofuels, and that it report back to the Parliament as soon as possible;

58.

Calls on the Commission and the Council to actively and resolutely counteract any oligopolistic tendencies, such as the danger of the creation of a gas cartel;

59.

Encourages those Member States which are members of the G8 and the Commission to use that forum to promote the EU's energy interests, including in the G8+5 format which brings together key producers and consumers;

60.

Stresses the importance of the EU proposal within the framework of the Gleneagles Action Plan to support the development of clean technologies in the form of a new Global Forum for systematic cooperation and exchange of best practices amongst the states, regions, mega-cities and other public entities that have considerable energy consumption levels;

61.

Supports all measures aimed at strengthening multilateral technical initiatives, such as the Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership, the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, the Financial Action Task Force, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) Equator Principles and Inogate;

62.

Stresses that a common European foreign policy on energy is not in itself sufficient, and that a common European energy policy needs to be developed which should include a common European policy on research and technologies concerning energy;

63.

Calls on the Council to create a strategy to protect critical energy infrastructure inside the EU and the immediate neighbourhood of the EU against terrorist threats;

64.

Calls on the Commission to put forward proposals for regulatory reform, based on the best practices identified in each Member State, and in particular full ownership unbundling of energy production and energy transmission and distribution, stronger independent national regulatory supervision and better coordination of the activities of regulators at EU level, with a view to encouraging the development of new and renewable energy sources and a clear framework for enhancing investment in transmission infrastructures;

65.

Stresses that the creation of interoperable energy grids through a well-coordinated trans-European energy network will contribute to competitiveness in the electricity and gas markets, reinforce security of supply and advance environmental protection, as well as strengthening the EU's position vis-à-vis supply and transit countries;

66.

Stresses that pollution from the exploitation of energy resources, particularly oil, may not only cause serious and irreversible environmental damage but also pose serious security risks regionally and globally, such as in the Middle East; calls for new safeguard measures and investment in greater security and efficiency in the exploitation of energy resources;

67.

Calls for a public debate to raise awareness of a common European foreign policy on energy among EU citizens and underline the positive aspects of such a policy, by means of a public information campaign;

68.

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission and the governments and parliaments of the Member States.

having regard to the report of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs and the opinions of the Committee on Development, the Committee on Culture and Education and the Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality (A6-0322/2007),

A.

whereas according to Eurostat the number of third country nationals legally resident in the 27 Member States is approximately 18,5 million, whilst nearly 9 million EU citizens are resident in a Member State other than their own,

B.

whereas migration is an international phenomenon in which EU citizens also participate as migrants themselves,

C.

whereas pursuant both to the existing Treaties and to the new draft treaty, the Member States are responsible both de jure and de facto for setting the number of economic migrants allowed into the EU for work purposes,

D.

whereas a comprehensive and consistent approach to immigration is required at European level, since a change to immigration policy in one Member State influences migrant flows and developments in other Member States,

E.

whereas the reality of ageing and demographic changes necessitate rethinking immigration policies, since the current and future situation of the EU labour market can be broadly described as in demand of well-managed legal immigration (according to Eurostat the working-age population within the population as a whole will shrink by over 50 million by 2050),

F.

whereas the mandate for the IGC, as defined by the June 2007 European Council, provides for the extension of the Community method to all matters concerning legal immigration, thus eliminating a disparity and improving the effectiveness of decision-making,

G.

whereas a more comprehensive and inclusive definition of migrants, including a definition of the status of people that are not refugees but cannot however be returned to their country of origin, is needed in order to reflect developments in migratory flows,

H.

whereas it is stated in the section of the Action Plan entitled ‘Knowledge-building and information’ that further studies of permits for job-seekers should be carried out,

I.

whereas it is important to recognise that increased migration flows should be seen as a global phenomenon with numerous causes and effects,

J.

whereas in this area, cooperation by the EU and its Member States with third countries of origin and transit is essential,

K.

whereas controls on legal immigration have become steadily tighter; whereas a number of countries have introduced different legal immigration schemes based on quotas or on points; whereas it is wrong to spread the belief that immigration is uncontrolled,

L.

whereas overly restrictive means for legal entry to the EU indirectly encourages irregular immigration, and whereas opening channels for legal immigration will contribute to the fight against illegal immigration and human trafficking,

M.

whereas the principle of Community preference applies as regards economic migration and whereas transitional measures apply to the free movement of people from the new Member States,

N.

whereas the fight against illegal immigration and human trafficking is as inseparable from policies concerning the admission of economic immigrants as from measures on integration,

O.

whereas legal immigration should be accompanied by effective integration policy; whereas integration is a two-way process involving both immigrants from third countries and Europe's population; whereas it should be made easier for the individual to live with her or his partner and children,

P.

whereas in the space of a few decades, immigration has become a central topic of public debate throughout the EU of great political sensitivity which may easily be exploited for demagogic and populist purposes,

Q.

whereas politicians and media representatives should be aware of the importance of using correct discourse on this issue,

R.

whereas both the causes of immigration and its positive consequences should be more evident in the public debate on the issue,

S.

whereas in view of the role played by immigration in respect of economic development, growth and hence employment in Europe, it would be useful if trade union, employer and civil society representatives were more extensively involved in the public debate on such matters,

T.

whereas those in charge of social and economic policy must inform the general public of the role of legal immigration in growth and employment,

General approach

1.

Welcomes the Commission's response to the European Council's request for a policy plan on legal migration, including admission procedures capable of responding promptly to fluctuating demands in the labour market;

2.

Endorses the approach adopted in the Action Plan to overcome the obstacles within the Council to the 2001 proposal for a Council directive on the conditions of entry and residence of third-country nationals for the purpose of paid employment and self-employed economic activities (COM(2001)0386);

3.

Welcomes the abovementioned communication from the Commission on applying the global approach to migration to the eastern and south-eastern regions neighbouring the EU; calls on the Member States and the Commission to ensure that sufficient human and financial resources are allocated to the proper implementation of the comprehensive approach to migration; stresses the need for enhanced regional dialogue and cooperation on legal migration and welcomes the idea of setting up regional cooperation platforms for migration, bringing together all relevant actors from the EU side and the regions concerned;

4.

Maintains that illegal immigration cannot be tackled unless means and channels of legal immigration are established at the same time, since the two phenomena are closely linked;

5.

Considers the collection of consistent and reliable statistics on migration to be essential; expects Regulation (EC) No 862/2007 to be implemented swiftly and effectively by all Member States; calls upon the Commission to submit, in cooperation with the Member States, an assessment of the number of people who could be affected by the four specific directives; expects the European Migration Network (EMN) to make a rapid and substantial contribution in this area (in collaboration with Eurostat); hopes that particular attention will be paid to the place of women, who account for half of migrants;

6.

Welcomes the institutional implications of the draft reform Treaty, as set by the IGC mandate, which extends qualified majority voting and co-decision powers to police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters and also entails the extension of competences in respect of EU asylum and immigration policies; welcomes in particular the extension of the ordinary legislative procedure to cover legal migration and considers it reasonable that Member States will continue to keep the sovereign right to determine the volume of economic migrants they can accept on their territories;

7.

Calls upon the various Council formations with responsibility in this area (Justice and Home Affairs, Employment, Social Policy, Health and Consumer Protection) to increase their efforts to coordinate their discussions of the Action Plan;

8.

Supports the intention of the Commission to define the conditions of entry and stay for other selected categories of economic migrants, including unskilled or low-skilled workers;

9.

Calls upon the Commission to carry out a short- and medium-term forecast of the requirements for additional labour in the various Member States; calls on the Member States to provide the Commission with a statistical estimate in order to enable it to make suitable forecasts concerning labour requirements in the EU; emphasises that these estimates must also take into account non-economic migrants, refugees and persons in need of subsidiary protection, as well as family reunifications;

10.

Considers that particular attention should be paid to the situation of minors, who may find themselves disadvantaged due to their parents' movement, and proposals brought forward to mitigate such negative effects;

11.

Considers that a clear definition of each category of economic migrant concerned by the directives currently being drawn up must be adopted; calls upon the Member States to coordinate amongst themselves and to exchange best practices by means of the mechanism for the exchange of information concerning asylum and immigration matters provided for by Council Decision 2006/688/EC of 5 October 2006 on the establishment of a mutual information mechanism concerning Member States' measures in the areas of asylum and immigration (7);

12.

Believes that the transitional internal barriers to the free movement of workers from the new Member States should be lifted as soon as possible;

13.

Supports the establishment of an EU immigration portal; in this context, welcomes the expansion of the EURES services to support the management of the economic migration of third country nationals;

Proposal for a general framework directive

14.

Considers there to be an essential need for a directive designed to provide third country nationals who are legally employed within the EU with a common framework of rights, together with the requirement to fulfil a certain number of obligations, and insists that a proposal for a framework directive be submitted in advance of the four proposals for specific directives envisaged in the Action Plan;

15.

Recalls the need to avoid double standards of rights amongst different categories of workers and to safeguard particularly the rights of seasonal workers and paid trainees, who are more vulnerable to abuse;

16.

Endorses the idea of a single application for a joint residence and work permit;

17.

Also considers that the directive should contain proposals enabling migrants to change their status or their job whilst remaining in the EU;

18.

Agrees that mutual recognition of diplomas and other qualifications is necessary in order to avoid a loss in terms of income and skills for the migrant as well as for the countries of residence and origin;

19.

Considers that measures should be explored in order to investigate the possibility for migrants, when they return to their country of origin, to transfer their pension entitlements and accumulated welfare rights acquired as a result of their employment and for which they were required to pay contributions;

20.

Questions the reference in the Action Plan to the collection of the ‘most advanced’ biometrical data; considers that the protection of personal data should be respected in all cases, particularly the principles of proportionality and purpose limitation;

21.

Supports the ratification by all Member States of the International Convention on the protection of the rights of all migrant workers and their family members;

Circular migration, return migration and mobility partnerships

22.

Welcomes the abovementioned communication from the Commission on circular migration and partnerships for mobility between the EU and third countries; agrees that the damaging effects of brain drain must be avoided, and the ‘brain circulation’ instead must be promoted;

23.

Calls furthermore upon the Commission to explain the link between circularity and integration; points out that, according to the Commission, ‘supposedly circular migration may very rapidly become permanent and thus fail to meet the intended objective’;

24.

Stresses furthermore the importance of establishing stable and lawful labour relations between businesses and workers to increase productivity and the competitiveness of the EU; calls on the Commission therefore to consider the effects circular migration could have in this regard;

25.

Supports the idea of long-term multiple-entry visas, as well as the possibility of granting priority to former immigrants wishing to obtain a new residence permit with a view to further temporary employment;

26.

Calls on the Commission to take account of the possibilities raised by both Parliament and the Economic and Social Affairs Committee and to bring forward a comprehensive study on the possible implementation of a blue-card system and a job-seekers visa;

27.

Expresses interest in the planned Migration Information and Management Centre which is due to be set up in Mali; calls upon the Commission to provide the relevant parliamentary committees with detailed information on the legal base of and budgetary provisions for the project, as well as regular updates on this and similar initiatives envisaged in other third countries; supports the idea of applying the same approach to the Union's eastern border region;

Proposal for a directive on the entry and residence conditions of highly skilled workers

28.

Supports any measure designed to increase the attractiveness of the EU to the most highly skilled workers so as to meet the needs of the EU labour market in order to ensure Europe's prosperity as well as to meet the Lisbon targets; to this end, calls on the Commission and the Member States to:

explore ways to grant such workers the right to move freely within the EU;

explore ways to allow such workers to remain within the EU for a limited period at the end of their contract or following redundancy to allow them to look for a job;

29.

Supports therefore any simplification measure designed to facilitate the entry of such workers into the EU, whilst leaving the definition of specific needs and quotas for economic migrants to the Member States;

30.

Considers it important that the risks of a brain drain be taken into account when EU legal immigration measures are laid down; refers to the abovementioned report by the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly on the migration of skilled workers and the effects thereof on national development; calls upon the Commission, in conjunction with the countries of origin, to carry out statistical studies with a view to identifying the areas of expertise in which there is a clear risk of brain drain;

31.

Supports the creation of an EU work permit (the so-called blue card) to facilitate the free movement of ‘brains’ within Europe and the transfer of personnel within multinational companies;

Proposal for a directive concerning the entry and residence conditions of seasonal workers

32.

Points out that seasonal workers from third countries make an essential contribution to sectors such as agriculture, construction and tourism; stresses the increasing importance of irregular employment in such sectors in a number of Member States and therefore considers the proposed scheme essential; in that sense, welcomes the Commission's proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council providing for sanctions against employers of illegally staying third-country nationals (COM(2007)0249);

33.

Draws attention at the same time to the crucial importance of speedy, flexible recruitment procedures in seasonal work; highlights the importance of local experience, with particular regard to the agricultural sector; stresses the need, therefore, to take this into account;

34.

Considers that seasonal workers who abide by the rules laid down for this kind of migration should be granted priority access to other forms of legal migration;

Proposal for a directive on the procedures governing the temporary entry, stay and residence of persons transferred within their company

35.

Endorses the Commission's idea of strengthening the legal framework in order to promote mobility within Europe; points out that the situation of the persons concerned is governed by GATS;

Proposal for a directive on the entry and residence conditions for paid trainees

36.

Considers that the notion of paid trainee should be clearly defined (age limit, language skills, maximum length of training period, possibility of converting the status into some other kind of residence permit, and so on) and that checks need to be devised in order to prevent abuse of the status;

37.

Proposes that paid trainees should be issued with a European residence permit valid for between 6 and 12 months; supports the development of partnership programmes with universities in third countries;

Integration

38.

Recalls its abovementioned resolutions of 9 June 2005 and of 6 July 2006,

39.

Welcomes the holding in Potsdam on 10 and 11 May 2007 of an informal meeting of ministers responsible for integration; points out that EU immigration policy must be based on a comprehensive approach reconciling the requirements of the employment markets in the Member States and admission and integration policies; considers that a summary of the rights and duties of migrant workers should be drawn up in order to make it easier for such workers to participate in economic, social and political life in order to achieve integration; regards schools as an essential forum for intercultural dialogue and integration;

40.

Reiterates that the celebration of 2008 as the year of intercultural dialogue must contribute to improving the integration of immigrants in host societies and neighbourhoods and to mutual understanding, thereby reducing outbreaks of mistrust, racism and xenophobia; urges the Commission to promote the work of civil society organisations in favour of inter-cultural co-existence and mutual respect and education at the service of peace and non-violence; points out that politicians at all levels should be aware of their responsibilities in using a correct discourse on this issue;

41.

Invites Member States to apply Council Directive 2003/86/EC of 22 September 2003 on the right to family reunification (8); calls on the Council, the Commission and the Member States to grant migrant women arriving under family reunification arrangements a legal status that is independent of that of their spouse;

Communication

42.

Emphasises the particular responsibility of the media (in particular European public radio and television broadcasters) in the dissemination of an accurate image of immigration and in countering stereotypes;

43.

Considers it essential that interested persons should be informed — wherever possible before their departure — regarding the terms and conditions of, and the opportunities for, legal migration into the EU; considers that such information should be widely disseminated within third countries by public bodies (either Member States' embassies or consulates or the local Commission delegation); with this in mind, calls for a European immigration internet portal to be created without delay;

44.

Supports projects designed to establish training and language courses in the country of origin in order to help immigrants to develop skills and better adjust to labour needs in the EU;

Cooperation with countries of origin

45.

Points to the need for an active co-development policy; supports the objective of concluding agreements with third countries to enable both legal and illegal immigration to be managed effectively; considers, nonetheless, that such agreements must be fully in accordance with human rights; in this connection, expresses reservations concerning the funding of projects in countries which do not uphold human rights;

46.

Invites the Commission and the Member States to explore ways to facilitate the free movement of migrants between the country of residence and the country of origin;

47.

Points out that the funds which immigrants send back to their country of origin contribute to the development of those countries; considers that the cost of transferring remits to countries of origin should be reduced in order to assist development, while at the same time ensuring an adequate level of control and security of transactions; emphasises that although every effort should be made to facilitate and make less expensive the transfer of remittances, they remain private funds that benefit primarily the families who receive them and should not be viewed as a substitute for Official Development Assistance;

48.

Calls upon the Commission and the Council to take part before Parliament in an annual debate on EU immigration policy; calls upon the Commission to submit on such occasions a comprehensive scoreboard relating to the state of migration in Europe;

49.

Calls upon its competent committee to engage in a close dialogue with its counterparts in national parliaments responsible for matters relating to immigration, and to continue working with the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly's committee responsible for migration, refugees and population;

50.

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and the Commission, the governments and parliaments of the Member States, the Council of Europe, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and the International Organisation for Migration.

having regard to the report of Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs and the opinions of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on Development (A6-0323/2007),

A.

whereas migration is a global phenomenon which is growing and therefore also affects the European Union,

B.

whereas the number of third-country nationals in an irregular situation in the EU appears to be, according to somewhat conflicting estimates, between 4.5 m and 8 million; whereas the statistical data available need to be improved in terms of quality and consistency,

C.

whereas the extent of migratory movements is now such that Member States lack the capacity to manage them individually, and a global and coherent approach to immigration at European level is therefore required; whereas the lack of a suitable response to the arrival of irregular immigrants at the Union's borders points up both the low degree of solidarity among Member States and the failure to coordinate policy despite the existing declarations and commitments,

D.

whereas a common EU immigration policy requires that Member States abide by the principles of solidarity, shared responsibility, mutual trust and transparency,

E.

whereas immigration policy needs to be global and must take account of a whole range of aspects, especially: the fight against clandestine immigration and human trafficking, the need to improve and coordinate legal immigration channels, the causes of emigration from third countries (push factors such as under-development, poverty, wars, dictatorships, failing State institutions, the consequences of climate change and environmental disasters, etc.), the factors of attraction to the Union (pull factors such as standard of living, democracy, peace, job opportunities including irregular employment, etc.); the Member States' demographic and economic needs; the coherence of the measures taken at local, national and European level; issues of integration and cultural mixing; respect for fundamental rights, especially the right to asylum and non-refoulement; and the fight against racism and xenophobia,

F.

whereas the fight against human trafficking constitutes a priority for the Union, in particular with a view to combating trafficking in the most vulnerable groups such as women and children and to dismantling the gangs and mafias which benefit from it,

G.

whereas many people in an irregular situation originally enter the European Union legally, but then cease to fulfil their entry conditions;

H.

whereas illegal and legal immigration are closely interrelated and the fight against illegal immigration is vital for the establishment of a policy for legal immigration,

I.

whereas extending opportunities for legal immigration would reduce the number of illegal entries;

J.

whereas the reluctance of some governments to recognise the extent of the need of a migrant workforce can place employers in a difficult situation, when trying to fulfil business needs within legal requirements concerning documentation,

K.

whereas the cooperation of the EU and its Member States with the third countries of origin and transit is vital, and an effective and practical policy of co-development must be put in place with a view to addressing at an early stage in third countries the root causes of immigration,

L.

whereas both the causes of immigration and its positive aspects (notably its impact on the economy and demography and in the cultural enrichment of our societies) tend to be absent from the public debate, which focuses largely on its difficulties and problems,

M.

whereas within a few decades immigration has become a central issue of public debate throughout the European Union, a politically highly sensitive issue which can easily be exploited for demagogic and populist purposes, and whereas politicians and media representatives should be aware of the importance of using a correct discourse on this issue;

General approach

1.

Welcomes the Commission's approach, which will play a key role in stimulating more coherent and effective action by Member States;

2.

Welcomes the abovementioned initiative on ‘Applying the Global Approach to Migration to the Eastern and South-Eastern Regions Neighbouring the European Union’; calls on the Member States and the Commission to ensure that sufficient human and financial resources are allocated for the proper implementation of the comprehensive approach to migration;

3.

Welcomes the institutional implications of the draft Reform Treaty, as set by the IGC mandate, in particular the extension of codecision and qualified majority voting to all immigration policies, the clarification of EU competence on visas and border controls, the extension of EU competence on asylum as well as the extension of EU competence in respect of legal and illegal immigration;

4.

Believes it essential to collect and harmonise statistical data on migration; calls on the Member States and the Commission, together with Eurostat, to take steps to correct the existing lack of coherent and reliable data, in liaison with the European Migration Network (EMN) and with international organisations such as the OECD; welcomes the adoption of the abovementioned Regulation (EC) No 862/2007; calls on all the Member States to produce statistics that are consistent with the harmonised definitions and to provide all the required information for the interpretation of the statistics produced;

5.

Believes that immigration is a challenge at European level and global level and must be responded to on the same levels; considers that the Union as a whole must equip itself with the means of seizing the threefold opportunity — economic, demographic and social — which immigration could represent for our societies;

6.

Considers it inappropriate to take hasty action to deal with migration flows, given that there has been a constant flow of immigrants for some years now, which therefore requires a medium- and long-term approach;

7.

Believes that, as part of its immigration policy, the Union must carry out coherent actions both within and outside its borders (the double dimension, internal and external);

8.

Emphasises that conflicts in the whole world with an international dimension trigger migrant influxes;

9.

Expects the Commission to submit a study of the impact of climate change on migration, in liaison with the UN;

10.

Stresses that the responsibility of transporters and the authorities of the countries of origin, as well as the strengthening of the criminal legal framework to fight trafficking rings, combating illegal employment and human trafficking, and exposing administrative corruption, form an essential part of the fight against illegal immigration, which needs also to based on an advanced level of police and judicial cooperation;

11.

Stresses the importance of development cooperation as a means of acting on the root causes of migration, and as an instrument that is not an alternative to but complementary to the Union's policies on integration and migration;

12.

Recalls that the EU's Mediterranean neighbours and eastern neighbours in particular receive the majority of immigrants originally en route to Europe; considers it crucial to ensure that the fundamental human rights of those immigrants are respected, with special attention being paid to the rights of unaccompanied minors; stresses the need for the EU to strengthen its cooperation with all Mediterranean partner countries as regards the management of migration flows, and to provide them with support in combating illegal immigration; points out the importance of strengthening links between North- and Sub-Saharan African countries and with the Asian countries of origin;

13.

Stresses that irregular migrants must not be treated like criminals; recalls that many of them risk their lives seeking freedom or the means of subsistence in Europe; considers that it is the politicians' responsibility to implement a coherent and effective policy to fight illegal immigration, whilst taking into account the safeguards and fundamental human rights, while at the same time reminding the public of the contribution made by legal immigration to economic growth and demographic patterns in Europe;

14.

Stresses that all measures to fight clandestine immigration and step up external border controls must be consistent with the existing guarantees and fundamental human rights, in line with the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR), especially with regard to the right to asylum and the right of nonrefoulement;

15.

Emphasises that the temporary reception centres for irregular migrants both within and outside the Union must be run on a basis compatible with the protection of fundamental rights, for which best practices regarding in particular, accommodation, schooling and access to healthcare, financial means and rules of law must be exchanged between all levels and organisations involved such as local and national authorities, European institutions and NGOs;

16.

Is shocked by the inhumane conditions prevailing in various detention centres for migrants and asylum seekers visited by its Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs;

17.

Reiterates its firm opposition to the idea of setting up reception or holding centres for illegal immigrants or asylum seekers outside the Union's borders and in immigrants' regions of origin;

18.

Takes note of the Commission's review of Regulation (EC) No 343/2003 (‘Dublin II’); recalls the need for a revision of this Regulation and that this review should also address the Regulation's basic principle, that is, that the Member State responsible for handling an asylum application is the country of first entry, given that this places a disproportionate and unsustainable burden on some Member States;

19.

Stresses the need for specific precautions to be taken regarding women and children, especially unaccompanied minors, persons with serious health problems and people with disabilities, who require aid and adapted protection measures, notably in the case of return measures;

20.

Calls on the Member States to include in their respective migration policies a high level of health protection of immigrants by providing preventive care and medical treatment;

21.

Calls for closer cooperation among regional and local authorities and social partners with a view to exchanging best practices regarding, in particular, accommodation, schooling and access to healthcare;

22.

Stresses the need to pay greater attention to the language used to describe illegal immigration, in order to improve perceptions in society; believes that an effort must be made in education and in the information offered by the media to transmit such basic values of the Union as tolerance, solidarity, mutual respect and the need to fight discrimination and xenophobia;

Commission's priorities

Cooperation with third countries

23.

Believes that the multidimensional character of immigration calls for close cooperation with all the third countries concerned; considers that the Rabat and Tripoli ministerial conferences in 2006 and the UN Global Migration Forum held in Brussels in July 2007 (at which Parliament was represented) marked the start of the dialogue which is needed between the countries of origin and transit and the European countries receiving immigration, and that this dialogue must lay the bases of a full-scale partnership grounded in co-development; believes that, with regard to illegal immigration, it must aim to introduce readmission agreements or improve the workings of such agreements;

24.

Notes, as an example of good practice, the fact that certain Member States have signed cooperation agreements on immigration with various African countries, identifying the link between migration and development; encourages the Member States and the Commission to step up cooperation and continue to develop programmes of this nature;

25.

Calls on the Commission and the Council to pursue the development of the Regional Protection Programmes in cooperation with countries of origin and transit, and to inform Parliament of the experience gained with the pilot projects implemented so far; welcomes the launch of an EU Programme on Migration and Development in Africa of an initial amount of EUR 40 million, with the objective of creating new jobs in Africa, and asks the Commission to provide more information on practical modalities; applauds, in this context, the signing of the cooperation agreement with Mali by the Commission, with the support of Spain and France, with a view to the opening of the first Migration Information and Management Centre, to be created with funding from that Programme;

26.

Calls on the Commission to take all appropriate measures to expand the sources of information which are available in countries of origin on the possibilities of, and conditions attaching to, legal immigration into the EU;

27.

Calls on the Union, the ACP governments and governments of other countries of origin to implement and apply policies aimed at maximising the positive impact of remittances by ensuring that they pass through official transfer systems, thereby making them more substantial, swifter, less expensive to carry out and better channelled; takes the view that it is important to involve immigrants in the development of their countries of origin;

28.

Calls on the Commission to explore suitable means of supporting and developing the use of microcredit;

29.

Calls on the Union to pursue a coherent external policy, especially in terms of the compatibility and convergence of the objectives of the common commercial policy and development policy; an ‘EU Development Plan for Africa’ should be considered, where financial support and trade agreements are linked to democracy, human rights development and migration so as to offer an alternative to people to leaving their country of origin;

30.

Calls for questions concerning illegal immigration to have priority in the European Union's relations with third countries, especially the countries of origin and/or transit of illegal immigrants;

31.

Calls on the Commission to submit an annual state-of-play report to Parliament on the funds used for the fight against illegal immigration and on the legislation in force, its implementation by the Member States and the legislation in preparation;

32.

Recalls that particular stress should be laid on implementing Article 13 of the Cotonou Agreement, as regards both readmission and strengthening the dialogue procedures under the agreement; stresses the need to support capacity-building in the countries of origin and transit for the management of immigration, with a view to reinforcing the institutions and means available for its control (public administration and legal framework, training, border alert teams, anti-trafficking security corps, etc.); points out that every ACP State is required to agree to the return and readmission of its own nationals illegally present on the territory of a Member State, at the latter's request; recalls that the countries of origin and transit must assume their responsibilities and fulfil their obligations to control illegal immigration, and that information campaigns are needed on the risks involved, the EU Member States' policies on return, and the agreements existing on legal immigration and the opportunities they offer;

33.

Takes the view that the granting of aid requested from the European Union by third countries with a view to combating networks of illegal immigrant smugglers active on their own territory should be made contingent on collaboration by those countries and the efforts they make in this area;

Security and integrated management of the external borders

34.

Stresses the importance of border controls in the fight against illegal immigration; reaffirms that border controls must be operated in a spirit of sharing of responsibilities and solidarity between Member States and with migrants being held in acceptable conditions and on a basis of full respect for the law on asylum and international protection, including the principle of non-refoulement;

35.

Believes that Frontex must have the resources that are necessary for its actions as is stressed in Article 7 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2007/2004 (management of technical equipment); deeply regrets the fact that some Member States have failed to honour their undertakings to provide logistic and human support for its operations; considers that the Centralised Record of Available Technical Equipment (CRATE) or the so-called ‘toolbox’ can only be meaningful if Member States fulfil their pledges with respect to technical equipment; encourages Frontex to conclude working agreements with the countries participating in the ENP and other third countries;

36.

Welcomes the adoption by the European Parliament and by the Council of the abovementioned Regulation establishing a mechanism for the creation of Rapid Border Intervention Teams on the basis of the principle of solidarity between Member States; notes that the RABITs legislative initiative has, for the first time, made solidarity in the area of immigration compulsory, rather than merely optional; calls on the Commission to put forward a new legislative proposal to the effect that, likewise, the principle of solidarity becomes compulsory with respect to pledges made by Member States to the CRATE; recalls that each Member State is to ensure the presence of a reserve of qualified personnel and therefore calls on the Member States to allow for the creation of genuine European rapid border intervention teams;

37.

Calls on the Member States to set up permanent joint monitoring patrols, operating throughout the year and coordinated by Frontex, in all high-risk areas and especially at the sea borders;

38.

Calls on the Council to take action for the swift establishment of the European patrol network and the implementation of the European monitoring system for the southern sea borders;

39.

Considers that steps should be taken to incorporate into the mandate of Frontex and rapid intervention teams at the EU's sea borders operations to rescue migrants and asylum seekers who are in emergency situations where their lives are at risk;

40.

Reminds all Member States and third countries to respect international law and international obligations relating to search and rescue of persons at sea; considers that Member States are jointly responsible for saving lives at sea; takes note of the proposal made by Malta in the JHA Council for an agreement among EU Member States by which illegal immigrants saved at sea by EU registered vessels in the search and rescue region of a non-EU state which is refusing to assume its responsibilities would be shared between EU Member States on a strictly proportional basis and according to a pre-accepted system;

41.

Considers that, in the face of the migratory flow from the African continent towards Europe, Southern Member States on the external frontiers of the Union, notably smaller Member States, such as Malta and Cyprus, are currently shouldering a disproportionate burden which calls for the strengthening of measures for the joint management of the Union's external borders;

42.

Asks the Commission to increase, in the framework of the ENP, concrete measures aimed at providing technical and financial support to neighbouring countries as concerns both the securing of their borders with the EU and their other borders;

43.

Recommends the use of technology in border controls, systematic recourse to the Visa Information System, and future implementation of a system for the automated registration of arrivals and departures;

Security of travel and identity documents

44.

Stresses the need to promote the issue of secure identity documents in the countries of origin in order to facilitate the identification of illegal immigrants entering Union territory;

45.

Welcomes the agreement reached by Parliament and the Council on the Visa Information System, which will facilitate the effective implementation of the Community visa policy and should help reinforce the fight against illegal immigration;

46.

Recalls that the development of biometric tools to reinforce document security and authenticity, which is essential to combat fraud, illegal immigration and trafficking in people, makes border crossing easier for bona fide travellers and that it must take place on a basis of respect for data protection pursuant to Directive 95/46/EC for activities falling under the first pillar; for those covered by the third pillar, awaits the adoption of a specific framework decision, and in this context supports the action undertaken by the German Council Presidency;

47.

Reiterates that without suitable data protection measures consideration cannot be given to introducing automated checks on persons entering and leaving Union territory; takes the view that such a system would facilitate verification of the status of third-country nationals entering European Union territory and would improve the Member States' ability to check whether a third-country national has outstayed his or her authorised period of residence;

The fight against trafficking in people

48.

Is convinced that particular attention must be paid to the fight against human trafficking and those who are victims of such trafficking, especially vulnerable persons, women and children, with action against traffickers becoming one of the Union's priorities; welcomes the Commission's action plan on the matter, and stresses that this plan should take account of the need to cooperate with the countries of origin and transit;

49.

Points out that combating trafficking in human beings, particularly trafficking in women and children, is an EU priority, making it necessary to allocate adequate financial resources to that activity;

50.

Recalls that it is high time to establish clear and concrete targets, for example that of halving the number of victims of human trafficking over the next ten-year period; considers, nonetheless, that the overriding goal must of course be to eliminate this form of crime entirely as soon as possible;

51.

Is aware that numerous women who are victims of trafficking are living in the Union as irregular immigrants, in most cases with no access to legal or social protection; calls on the Member States to take into account these people's situation and, in conformity with their national law, improve their situation or assist them in returning home;

52.

Stresses that these actions must avoid the victims of human trafficking being targeted or having their interests damaged;

53.

Recalls that illegal immigration involves the transfer of large amounts of money into the hands of the mafias who control the human trafficking gangs and promote corruption, fraud and the exploitation of immigrant labour, and that this is an obstacle in the fight against illegal immigration;

54.

Expresses deep shock at the sheer organisation of criminal networks responsible for boat crossings from Africa to Europe and at Europe's inability to stop them; boats crossing to Europe are of the same size, usually laden with thirty people, of the same colour, powered by the same engine and supplied with food, drink and other provisions which are of the same make and brand, all factors which amply demonstrate how criminality has so far proved more effective than common European action; is convinced that this cynical network is responsible for the death of hundreds of people whose lives are lost at sea; calls on the Commission and Council to redouble their efforts in the fight against human trafficking;

55.

Calls on the institutions, the Member States and Europol to mobilise to implement the medium-term action programme against trafficking in people, targeting it on traffickers, ‘people smugglers’ and mafias;

56.

Takes into consideration Council Directive 2004/81/EC of 29 April 2004 on the residence permit issued to third-country nationals who are victims of trafficking in human beings or who have been the subject of an action to facilitate illegal immigration, who cooperate with the competent authorities (11), the EU Plan on best practices, standards and procedures for combating and preventing trafficking in human beings (12) adopted in December 2005 and welcomes the abovementioned joint Africa-EU declaration on migration and development;

57.

Recalls the important contribution by the Experts Group on Trafficking in Human Beings, set up in 2003 by the Commission, in terms of monitoring and policy recommendations and expects it to be continued;

The regularisation issue

58.

Recalls that numerous Member States have carried out regularisations or said they will do so, and that these decisions are, in the present state of law, a matter for the discretion of the Member States but quite often a signal of lack of appropriate measures in place to deal with a phenomenon which forms a part of societies in most Member States and believes that en masse regularisation of illegal immigrants should be a one-off event since such a measure does not resolve the real underlying problems;

59.

Is aware that changes to immigration policy in a Member State can influence migratory movements and trends in others; believes that, pursuant to the principles of loyal cooperation and mutual solidarity, Member States should operate a mutual information system (for national measures on migration and asylum that are liable to affect other Member States or the Community), and notes that such a system has begun to come into operation in 2007, as evidenced at the most recent JHA Councils, for the exchange of information and experience on best practice;

Combating a key factor of attraction: illegal employment

60.

Welcomes the Commission's abovementioned proposal for a directive providing for sanctions against employers of illegally staying third-country nationals, providing essentially for administrative penalties, exclusion from public contracts, and, for the worst offences, criminal penalties;

61.

Calls on the Union and the Member States to take firm steps to combat the illegal employment of immigrants, activating a range of penalties on employers, stepping up workplace inspections on the basis of the human and material resources needed to fight illegal recruitment, and promoting measures to protect immigrants;

62.

Stresses that measures against illegal employment incorporate not only an economic and a social, but also a psychological dimension: by eliminating some of the factors which make Europe attractive (possibility of finding work, even if only under conditions flagrantly at odds with fundamental rights) they seek to reduce the incentive to emigrate to the EU and also help cut back the black economy;

63.

Believes that the adoption of measures against illegal employment has come late in the day, even though it is one of the main factors of attraction for illegal immigrants and a catalyst for exploitation;

64.

Urges the different Councils competent in the matter to redouble their coordination efforts in the discussion of this proposal for a directive;

65.

Calls on the Member States to rigorously apply their national legal provisions concerning undeclared work, that will soon have to be in line with the future Directive;

66.

Considers that Member States must make efforts to investigate illegal employment, specially in the sectors where immigrants are employed; calls upon the Commission and Member States to tackle this exploitation vigorously; notes that one element in this work could be information campaigns aimed at employers and employees to draw attention to the adverse impact which clandestine employment can have on national social insurance systems, public finances, fair competition, economic results and employees themselves; recalls the importance of including representatives of the two sides of industry in such a process;

Policy on return

67.

Recalls the responsibility of the countries of origin and transit concerning readmission, and believes there should be a Europe-wide policy on return that combines effectiveness with respect for the dignity and physical integrity of the individual, pursuant to the ECHR and the Geneva Convention;

68.

Calls for the adoption during the Portuguese presidency of the proposal for a directive on return, and for the definition at European level of the rules and conditions that should govern policy on return; stresses the importance of an effective return policy as one of the factors liable to deter illegal immigration;

69.

Calls on the Commission to undertake an evaluation of policy on return (effectiveness of the agreements in force of all Member States, analysis of the causes of delays in the negotiations regarding partnership agreements with third countries concerned, practices in countries of origin and transit, practical implementation of readmission agreements, including their compatibility with fundamental rights, etc.);

70.

Calls on the Council and Commission, regarding the readmission of irregular immigrants, to develop European agreements with the third countries concerned;

Improving the exchange of information using the existing instruments

71.

Calls on all the players concerned to step up their exchanges of information, including, whenever necessary, Frontex and Europol; believes that cooperation between immigration liaison officers should be a priority; considers that Parliament should be kept regularly informed on the development and results of the ICONet network;

Transporters' responsibilities

72.

Believes it is necessary to evaluate the measures taken in this area, and, in particular, the implementation of Directive 2001/51/ECof 28 June 2001 supplementing the provisions of Article 26 of the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement of 14 June 1985 (13) and the forum, set up in 2001, of representatives of the Member States, the transport sector and humanitarian organisations;

73.

Invites the Commission and Council to take part in an annual debate before Parliament on the Union's immigration policy; calls on the Commission to present, on that occasion, a comprehensive report on developments in immigration in Europe, including full statistical data;

74.

Calls on its competent committee to engage in close and regular dialogue with the committees on immigration of the national parliaments, and to continue its cooperation with the Committee on Migration, Refugees and Population of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe;

75.

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the Governments and Parliaments of the Member States, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and the International Organization for Migration.

Elizabeth Lynne also signed the motion for a resolution for the ALDE Group.

Geoffrey Van Orden moved the following oral amendments:

1. Applauds the courageous action of the Burmese monks and tens of thousands of other peaceful demonstrators in confronting the anti-democratic and repressive regime in Burma and utterly condemns the brutal response by the Burmese authorities;

3. Expresses its horror at the killing of peaceful protestors, insists that the security forces return to barracks and calls for recognition of the legitimacy of the demands that are being made, for international medical assistance for the injured and for the release of arrested demonstrators and other political prisoners;

Martin Schulz, on behalf of the PSE Group, moved an oral amendment to paragraph 5, which then read as follows:

5. Asks China fully to support a clear statement by the UN Security Council condemning the use of brutal force in Burma, calls on the UN Security Council to empower the UN Secretary-General to take action in order to facilitate national reconciliation and a transition to democracy in Burma, and calls on the UN General Assembly to take appropriate action;

Elmar Brok, on behalf of the PPE-DE Group, moved an oral amendment to add the words ‘and Russia’ to the oral amendment by Martin Schulz after the words ‘Asks China’.

i2010: Digital libraries

European Parliament resolution of 27 September 2007 on i2010: towards a European digital library (2006/2040(INI))

The European Parliament,

having regard to the communication from the Commission entitled: ‘i2010: digital libraries’ (COM(2005)0465),

having regard to Commission Recommendation 2006/585/EC of 24 August 2006 on the digitisation and online accessibility of cultural material and digital preservation (1),

having regard to the Council conclusions on the digitisation and online accessibility of cultural material and digital preservation (2),

having regard to Directive 2001/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 on the harmonisation of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society (3),

having regard to the report of 18 April 2007 by the High-Level Expert Group (copyright subgroup) on digital preservation, orphan works and out-of-print works,

having regard to the communication from the Commission entitled ‘Scientific information in the digital age: access, dissemination and preservation’ (COM(2007)0056),

having regard to Rule 45 of its Rules of Procedure,

having regard to the report by the Committee on Culture and Education (A6-0296/2007),

A.

whereas through the meeting, exchanging and sharing that culture entails, it can help to bring the European Union into closer contact with its citizens and a true European identity to take root and find expression,

B.

whereas the wealth and diversity of the European cultural heritage ought to be promoted, safeguarded and disseminated as widely as possible,

C.

whereas the Member States and cultural institutions, particularly libraries, have a key role to play in this enterprise at the national level and at the regional and local levels,

D.

whereas account must be taken of the rapid development of new technologies and the resulting changes in cultural practices,

E.

whereas for a large number of people, particularly young people, the Internet has become one of the principal means of accessing knowledge and learning,

F.

whereas in this digital environment it is essential to guarantee access for all to the European cultural heritage and to ensure that that heritage is preserved for the generations to come and that it forms part of our collective memory,

G.

whereas large-scale digitisation and on-line access to the European cultural heritage is one of the main ways of achieving this goal,

H.

whereas the European cultural heritage reflects the diversity of Europe and therefore access to it must be multilingual,

I.

whereas coherent policies on digitisation and preservation of digital works must be put in place to prevent the irrecoverable loss of cultural content whilst ensuring strict respect for copyright and related rights,

J.

whereas, apart from its intrinsic cultural qualities, digitisation of the European cultural heritage will also benefit other sectors, particularly education, science, research, tourism and the media,

K.

whereas mass digitisation of cultural content does not aim to replace or compete with traditional cultural content, but rather to produce reliable and good-quality parallel digital versions of such content,

L.

whereas digital technology is a very useful tool for disabled people and enables them to adapt content to their needs,

M.

whereas, however, only a tiny part of the European cultural heritage has so far been digitised, and Member States are progressing at very different speeds,

N.

whereas the public funding allocated to mass digitisation is insufficient for a project of this scale,

O.

whereas digitisation initiatives are very fragmented and most experience already acquired at Community level is misunderstood and does not provide simple, direct and multilingual access to all works comprising the European cultural heritage,

P.

whereas a ‘general public’ tool must be put in place to ensure universal and immediate access to the European cultural heritage, without any need to travel, and to help speed up digitisation,

Q.

whereas it is appropriate to use as a basis existing European initiatives which will contribute to the initial development of the European digital library, such as TEL (the European Library), which already provides access to documents held in European national library collections and in particular enables searches to be undertaken through the digital or bibliographical resources of 23 of the 47 national libraries, the TEL-ME-MOR project, which contributes to the integration of the 10 national libraries of the new Member States, the EDL project, which seeks to integrate 9 other national libraries in the framework of EU/EFTA, and Europeana, which brings together the national libraries of France, Hungary and Portugal,

The European digital library, the face of a Europe that is unified in diversity

1.

Recommends setting up in stages a European digital library in the form of a single, direct and multilingual access point for the European cultural heritage;

2.

Stresses that, although the long-term aim is to establish a tool that covers all categories of cultural material, such as audiovisual content, the European digital library must initially concentrate on the potential offered by text material that is free of rights;

3.

To this end invites all European libraries to make available to the European digital library works that are free of rights which they already hold in digital form;

4.

Calls on European universities and other higher education institutions to open up access to doctoral theses and other scientific works whose subject matter and fields of study relate to the European cultural heritage under conditions to be determined and without in any way infringing copyright;

5.

Invites other European cultural institutions, including regional and local institutions, to take part in this project so that it will be representative of the wealth and diversity of European culture; encourages museums to digitise their archives so that they can be included in this project;

6.

Stresses that the European digital library does not aim to disseminate content exclusively, but to coordinate access to digital works;

7.

Urges that common standards based on existing formats are chosen and used and also adapted to ensure interoperability of content, which is necessary if the European digital library is to function properly, and that fixed metadata languages (Dublin Core, etc.) be phased in;

8.

Encourages Member States to continue their efforts and speed up the rate of digitisation of cultural content to achieve a sufficient mass of content;

9.

Encourages Member States, together with cultural institutions, to draw up digitisation plans at national or regional level to establish a European map of all digitisation activities, thus enabling synergies to operate while avoiding duplication of the efforts and costs undertaken by many public and private institutions to digitise their holdings, since it is essential to draw up a survey of work already carried out, broken down by type of institution;

10.

Encourages close cooperation between Member States and cultural institutions and an exchange of good practice with regard to digitising works and making them accessible and digitally preserving them;

11.

Emphasises, given that the project cannot be translated into reality without a substantial research and development component, that the European digital library will encourage research in the areas of digitisation, interoperability and digital preservation, particularly through skills centres set up by the Commission;

12.

Emphasises the need to support innovation and research in the field of multilingualism;

13.

Points out that, although Community programmes are not able to fund digitisation as such, new methods of financing must be developed, including partnerships with the private sector, on the understanding, however, that every effort must be made to prevent digitisation proceeding at different paces in different Member States;

Structure and content of the European digital library — a common, multilingual access point for the European cultural heritage

14.

Encourages the establishment of a common interface providing access to content of guaranteed quality and accuracy via an integrated search engine enabling searches for meta-information and direct text when documents have been digitised in text mode;

15.

Underlines the importance of achieving a multilingual interface giving direct access to content in all European Union languages in order to accommodate not just searches by author or title, but also searches by topic or keyword, the results of which must ultimately encompass the data from every library involved and in every catalogue language;

16.

Urges also putting in place innovative, modern features that are suitable for all visitors;

17.

Emphasises that the European digital library must be planned and organised on the basis of a pool of resources and technical capabilities able to facilitate the creation, research and utilisation of information and should not consist merely of a digital catalogue of European works;

18.

Points out that it would be desirable not to limit the European cultural heritage to the European Union's own works, but also to take account of the cultural contributions of other European countries;

19.

Points out that, although the European cultural heritage is largely made up of works in the public domain, it is not limited to this category alone;

20.

Points out therefore that a distinction must be drawn between works in the public domain and works which are subject to rights, including orphan and out-of-print works, and that different models for each kind of work and suited to each sector must be provided;

21.

Welcomes the establishment of the high-level expert group and in particular supports its proposals to list all orphan and out-of-print works and to develop mechanisms to facilitate the search for right holders;

22.

Emphasises that the proposals formulated by the high-level expert group in its first report primarily concern the book publishing sector, and that a decision as to whether to extend those proposals to other sectors should be taken in conjunction with representatives of those sectors;

23.

Points out that it would be desirable at a later stage for the European digital library to offer, if possible, copyright-protected documents as well as documents which are free of rights, whilst strictly complying with national, Community and international law on intellectual property;

24.

Underlines that any decision of this sort must be taken in cooperation with all players involved, particularly authors, publishers and booksellers;

25.

Proposes that users of the European digital library should be able to find any kind of digital document, in image and text mode, and consult it freely, in their entirety in the case of works which are free of rights or in the form of short extracts in the case of protected works, with the agreement of the right holder;

26.

Proposes that provision be made for on-line browsing of works which are subject to rights through specialised sites providing the security guarantees required by right holders;

27.

Proposes in this case that the European digital library act as a simple conveyor of information;

28.

Points out that specialised sites could provide access to the whole of a protected document in agreement with the right holder and in return for fair remuneration;

Management and monitoring

29.

Calls for the establishment of a steering committee in which cultural institutions play a major role to determine the priorities for and the guidelines of the European digital library and to ensure the coordination, management and monitoring of its activities;

30.

Calls for coordination between the groups established by the Commission, in particular the Member States' expert group on digitisation and digital preservation and the abovementioned high-level expert group, to achieve genuine synergy at European level;

31.

Suggests the establishment of a Europe-wide coordination body, equivalent to TEL, for national museum and archive collections which generate every kind of digitised material connected with the European cultural heritage so as to integrate it into the European digital library search system;

32.

Points out that, if integrated coherently into education systems, the European digital library would make it easier to reach young Europeans and could bring them into closer contact with their cultural and literary heritage, whilst familiarising them with new technologies and combating the digital divide;

33.

Considers it essential to intensify the exchange of experience and good practice with other European institutions, such as the European Commission on Preservation and Access, institutions in third countries, such as the library of the US Congress, international associations, such as the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions, public or private organisations, such as the Online Computer Library Center, and others, endeavouring wherever possible to use software and solutions already tested and in operation;

34.

Urges that the European digital library be promoted and made visible and accessible through extensive communications at all levels and through the creation of a distinctive logo;

35.

Recommends in this connection that part of the resources earmarked for the European digital library be devoted to its promotion with the broadest possible public;

36.

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and Commission and to the governments and parliaments of the Member States.

Efficiency and equity in European education and training systems

European Parliament resolution of 27 September 2007 on efficiency and equity in European education and training systems (2007/2113(INI))

The European Parliament,

having regard to the communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament entitled ‘Efficiency and equity in European education and training systems’ (COM(2006)0481),

having regard to the proposal for a recommendation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the establishment of the European Qualifications Framework for lifelong learning (COM(2006)0479),

having regard to its position adopted at second reading on 25 October 2006 with a view to the adoption of a decision of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing an action programme in the field of lifelong learning (1), and to Decision No 1720/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 November 2006 establishing an action programme in the field of lifelong learning (2),

having regard to the communication from the Commission entitled ‘Adult learning: it is never too late to learn’ (COM(2006)0614),

having regard to its position adopted at first reading on 26 September 2006 on the proposal for a recommendation of the European Parliament and of the Council on key competences for lifelong learning (3), and to Recommendation No 2006/962/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 on key competences for lifelong learning (4),

having regard to its position adopted at first reading on 13 October 2005 on the proposal for a recommendation of the European Parliament and of the Council on further European cooperation in quality assurance in higher education (5), and to Recommendation No 2006/143/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 February 2006 on further European cooperation in quality assurance in higher education (6),

having regard to Rule 45 of its Rules of Procedure,

having regard to the report of the Committee on Culture and Education and the opinion of the Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality (A6-0326/2007),

A.

whereas in response to cuts in public budgets, the challenges of globalisation, demographic change and technological innovation, greater emphasis is being placed throughout Europe on making education and training more effective,

B.

whereas the considerable disparity in performance between education systems in the EU, as illustrated in the Pisa 2003 Report, is a matter of concern,

C.

whereas this factor might be translated into an increase in the differences in the economic and social development of the Member States and jeopardise the achievement of the Lisbon strategy goals,

D.

whereas the right to education is a principle recognised both at international level and in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union,

E.

whereas most current education and training systems replicate and deepen existing inequalities,

F.

whereas inequity in education and training has high hidden costs,

G.

whereas investment in education and training has long-term economic and social benefits and must be planned on a long-term basis,

H.

whereas in education and training systems a culture of appraisal must be established in order to ensure that the development of those systems can be monitored effectively on a long-term basis,

I.

whereas education and training policies must be linked to policies relating to employment, the economy and social integration,

J.

whereas education and training have a fundamental role in the development of a European identity based on intercultural education and peace,

K.

whereas young women are still more likely to be unemployed than young men, given that the unemployment rate in the 27 Member States of the EU in 2006 was 18,1 % for young women compared to 16,9 % for young men, and whereas women are less represented in leading positions, despite the fact that in most Member States more women than men reach a high level of education,

Efficiency and equity in lifelong learning

1.

Endorses the long-term-planning process in the field of lifelong learning, since investment in that field has long-term economic and social benefits;

2.

Acknowledges that investment at one level of education not only enables skills and capabilities to be developed at that level, but also establishes the basis for the acquisition of further abilities and qualifications at other educational levels;

3.

Supports the plan to create a European qualifications framework for lifelong learning which will facilitate recognition of educational achievement and allow visible and transparent switching between different study options;

4.

Believes there to be a need for a culture of appraisal in education and training systems — hence effective long-term policies must be based on reliable measurements;

5.

Welcomes the Commission's attempt to take efficiency and equity in education into consideration when devising a framework of indicators and benchmarks for monitoring progress towards achievement of the Lisbon objectives;

6.

Believes that in order to proceed with an examination of effectiveness/efficiency and equity of education systems in Europe, the terminology, both for effectiveness/efficiency and for equity, should be clarified; for the examination of the latter, individual characteristics such as gender, ethnic origin and disability (other than socio-economic) should be included;

7.

Acknowledges that investment in lifelong learning which is aimed at improving access and equity fosters social cohesion and enables individuals to solve problems, to adapt, to build up their self-esteem and to cope with change, thereby improving their personal development and making it easier for them to deal with other changes in their lives;

8.

Calls on the Member States to implement gender responsive education and training policies and materials as a tool for the elimination of gender inequality in education and employment and for the eradication of gender stereotypes; urges the Member States to promote gender-atypical employment (for example more male teachers in primary schools and more women in science) for young people, including young children before the age at which key educational and career decisions are taken and in such a way that gender based occupational segregation is reduced; reiterates that higher quality gender-and-agedisaggregated data is a prerequisite for any policy;

Ensuring efficiency and equity in the framework of education and training policies

Pre-school education: emphasis on teaching the very young

9.

Believes that efficiency and equity can be achieved on an individual basis if investment and reform are focused on the early stages of education;

10.

Stresses the need to develop, from the pre-school phase, measures to encourage the integration of children from third countries resident in the territory of the European Union;

11.

Calls upon the Member States to invest much more in pre-school — including nursery — education, since such investment can be an effective means of establishing a basis for future education, for developing a child's intellect and for raising overall skills levels, and can significantly increase the equity of the education system;

12.

Believes however that more research into pre-school education is necessary at EU level, in particular in the field of early and targeted actions, in order to identify practices which produce the expected effects;

13.

Considers the quality of pre-school education to be partly dependent on adequately trained teachers, and that there is therefore a need for a financially viable strategy which will result in both future-oriented and high quality education and satisfactory teaching careers;

14.

Acknowledges that as from the pre-school stage, social diversity of classes and establishments must be ensured in order to avoid a differentiation of curricula and expectations;

15.

Believes the involvement of parents by means of educational and information programmes (particularly in the case of disadvantaged children) to be important to the success of pre-school education;

16.

Is in favour of all forms of pre-school education and intervention at an early age (when children's cognitive skills are developing) — this being of all the stages in the entire process of life-long learning the one which pays the highest dividend;

17.

Urges Member States to increase the number of subsidised places in pre-school education, thereby offering better opportunities to children under school age who lack financial security to benefit from the education system;

Primary and secondary education: improving the quality of primary education for all

18.

Emphasises that compulsory attendance at school, as well as the training system, should provide basic education and key skills; stresses further that education and appropriate key skills contribute to the achievement of fundamental social and civic values, strengthen social cohesion and help to improve individual levels of qualification and employability;

19.

Notes that the role of schools, particularly at primary and secondary level, must above all take account of intercultural values and education for peace, these being the hallmarks of a European identity;

20.

Believes that premature categorisation has a detrimental effect on efficiency and equity in education systems;

21.

Believes that equal access by disadvantaged people to quality education can improve the efficiency and equity of European education systems;

22.

Favours, on the other hand, creating a flexible range of study options at secondary school level, which should not preclude a choice of a different track at subsequent educational stages;

23.

Urges the Member States to monitor all school careers, particularly at moments of choice and orientation, and to ensure that their education systems support pupils and students by motivating their efforts to achieve their personal development;

24.

In view of the different levels of support from which each pupil may benefit at home, throughout his/her school career, and the sometimes very unequal nature of the education provided, supports efforts to involve parents in the education process with a view to significantly reducing the risk of future social exclusion;

25.

Calls upon Member States to support initial and further training for teachers, to boost their motivation and to improve the qualitative conditions of school life — these being decisive factors in the achievement of efficiency and equity;

26.

Urges Member States to promote multilingualism at every level in the educational system, thereby improving the mobility of children, juveniles and adults within European territory and making the educational process within the EU more efficient;

27.

Encourages Member States to raise awareness of gender equality among teachers and education providers in order that they be able to promote respect for this principle among the younger generation;

University education: increasing investment and widening access

28.

Acknowledges that university education is a key aspect of a knowledge-based economy and society;

29.

Supports the plan to modernise universities with a view to ensuring that university education becomes more competitive, is available to everyone on an equitable basis and remains financially viable and effective;

30.

Calls upon Member States to increase efficiency and equity by creating suitable conditions and incentives for securing increased investment from public and private sources;

31.

Acknowledges that providing university education free of charge will not necessarily and by itself guarantee equity; calls in that regard for further studies based on the assumption that tuition fees are not an isolated issue but are part of a nexus of factors connected with financial incentives and accompanying financial support which, in the case of disadvantaged groups, can reduce inequity in terms of access to university education;

32.

Emphasises that universities must devise comprehensive information and admission policies so as to be able to react to rapidly evolving social and economic needs;

Vocational education and training: increasing quality and value

33.

Considers that, viewed in the light of an ageing population, the problem of permanently high youth unemployment is becoming increasingly serious;

34.

In view of the problem of an ageing population, supports better provision of adult education in order to make it easier for people to adapt to the requirements of the employment market and for the low-skilled to become involved in education;

35.

Stresses that young people with the lowest levels of educational achievement have great difficulty in entering the employment market and are the most vulnerable in the event of an economic downturn, run a higher risk of unemployment and are likely to end up doing less skilled work or casual labour;

36.

Calls on Member States to promote access to education and training for young women, especially women from remote regions and vulnerable groups such as migrant women, women from ethnic minorities, disabled women and low-skilled women; calls on Member States to identify and exchange best practices in this field and urges the social partners and private and public undertakings to eliminate all forms of discrimination, to actively encourage the provision of work-based training by removing all age-related barriers and to support leave for training purposes for the disadvantaged;

37.

Calls on Member States to promote access to publicly funded adult training schemes for unemployed women and those who have not succeeded in the compulsory education system;

38.

Calls on Member States to implement policies to facilitate the school-to-work transition for young people, with special attention being given to young women, who tend to experience more difficulties; emphasises that the higher quality of, and better access to, education and training and investments during youth have implications for the labour market during the latter stages of life; notes that an evaluation mechanism should be put in place in order to be able to assess the efficiency and impact of government education spending on young unemployed people, especially young women;

39.

Calls on Member States to support university excellence programmes, since by providing highly qualified specialists in different areas, demand on the employment market would be met more effectively;

40.

Points out that equal access for women and men to new technologies should be encouraged within education and training so as to bridge the digital divide between the sexes;

41.

Urges Member States to increase the proportion of, and strengthen the position of, women in science, engineering and technology; calls on the national governments to boost the number of women in leading positions and to measure progress by adopting qualitative and quantitative targets;

42.

Recommends improved access to tertiary education and the development of opportunities for those who have completed their training to continue studying and further their education whilst working;

43.

Emphasises that the training programmes on offer should be flexible in order to take into account the demand on the employment market, this being a particularly effective way of increasing employment opportunities for disadvantaged people; acknowledges in that regard that public investment should focus on the most disadvantaged target groups as they benefit the least from continuing training;

44.

Calls on Member States to promote the flexible organisation of studies, in partnership with higher education and vocational training establishments, in order to meet more effectively the needs of young men and women who are working or attending to family responsibilities at the same time as studying and to prevent them from leaving education prematurely;

45.

Calls upon Member States to involve educational institutions, companies, the social and other partners and the public sector in a joint partnership for the implementation of successful training programmes;

European Union action

46.

Emphasises that the fundamental goal of EU action is to promote the convergence of EU education systems towards higher standards of performance;

47.

Believes that in order to better target EU action it would be necessary to develop a process, based on reports periodically submitted by Member States as well as on independent verification, for the appraisal of the performance of education and training systems in the EU, paying particular attention to the acquisition of basic skills by pupils and to the achievement of equity objectives;

48.

Asks the Commission to publish regular reports on efficiency and equity in EU education and training systems in order to monitor progress towards higher standards of performance;

49.

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and the Commission and the governments and parliaments of the Member States.

The European Parliament,

having regard to its resolutions of 1 February 2007 (1) and 26 April 2007 (2) on the Italian initiative for a universal moratorium on the death penalty,

having regard to the Guidelines on EU policy towards third countries on the death penalty of 3 June 1998,

having regard to the statement on the abolition of the death penalty delivered on 19 December 2006 at the UN General Assembly by the EU Presidency, which was initially signed by 85 countries in all geographical groups,

having regard to Article 2 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (3),

having regard to Rule 103(4) of its Rules of Procedure,

A.

whereas the call for a universal moratorium on the death penalty is a clear political decision to seek the abolition of the death penalty in all countries,

B.

whereas its resolutions of 1 February 2007 and 26 April 2007 called on the EU Presidency to urgently submit a resolution to the current UN General Assembly and to keep Parliament informed of the results achieved; whereas at this stage no resolution has been submitted to the current UN General Assembly,

C.

whereas the statement on the death penalty presented by the European Union in the UN General Assembly on 19 December 2006 has now gathered 95 signatures from countries in all geographical groups,

D.

whereas the EU Presidency has received a mandate from the Council to draft and table, in cooperation with Italy, a text on an international moratorium on the death penalty, to be sent to the United Nations General Assembly,

1.

Reaffirms to the EU Presidency and Members States that the main political content of the resolution must be the adoption of a worldwide moratorium as a crucial step towards the abolition of the death penalty;

2.

Urges the EU Presidency and Member States to present a resolution on the moratorium at the 62nd United Nations General Assembly under the heading of ‘human rights’, in order for it to be adopted before the end of 2007; reiterates its call on the EU Presidency to involve as many countries as possible as co-sponsors of the resolution;

3.

Calls on the EU Presidency to encourage those remaining countries which have not signed and ratified the Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights to do so, and those Member States that have not signed Protocol No 13 to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms on the death penalty to do so;

4.

Reiterates its full support to EU institutions and Members States to declare, together with the Council of Europe, a European Day against the Death Penalty on 10 October each year; regrets the lack of unanimity in the Council on this issue and calls on the future Polish Government to fully support this initiative that reflects the basic values of the European Union; calls on all institutions and Member States of the EU, together with the Council of Europe, to continue supporting this action and mandates its President to promote this political initiative;

Chad and the Central African Republic

European Parliament resolution of 27 September 2007 on the ESDP operation in Chad and the Central African Republic

The European Parliament,

having regard to the conflict in Darfur and its wider regional impact, in particular on eastern Chad and northern Central African Republic (CAR),

having regard to UN Security Council Resolution 1706 (2006) of 31 August 2006, which stressed that regional security aspects must be addressed to achieve lasting peace in Darfur,

having regard to the conclusions of the Council for General Affairs and External Relations meeting of 23 to 24 July 2007, asking its competent bodies to continue planning a possible decision on a bridging operation, in the framework of the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP), in support of a multidimensional UN presence in eastern Chad and north-eastern CAR with a view to improving security in those areas,

having regard to UN Security Council Resolution 1769 (2007) of 31 July 2007 establishing, for an initial period of 12 months, an African Union/United Nations (AU/UN) hybrid operation in Darfur (UNAMID),

having regard to the UN Secretary-General's report on Chad and CAR of 10 August 2007, recommending that an international presence be deployed in eastern Chad and north-eastern CAR in order to improve the security of refugee and displaced populations, facilitate the supply of humanitarian aid and create conditions for reconstruction and development work in these areas,

having regard to the Arusha meeting on peace in Darfur, which was held from 3 to 6 August 2007,

having regard to the signing in N'Djamena on 13 August 2007, in the presence of the international community and of Chadian President Idriss Deby Itno, of the political agreement with a view to reinforcing the democratic process in Chad by all relevant Chadian political parties in power and in opposition,

having regard to the UN Security Council presidential statement of 27 August 2007 confirming the UN Security Council's readiness to establish a UN mission in Chad and welcoming the European Union's intention to provide support in the form of a military ESDP mission,

having regard to the adoption by the Council on 10 September 2007 of the ‘crisis management concept’ by written procedure,

having regard to the findings of its Development Committee delegation to Darfur, which visited Sudan and Chad from 30 June to 6 July 2007,

having regard to its resolution of 12 July 2007 on the situation in Darfur (1),

having regard to Rule 103(4) of its Rules of Procedure,

A.

extremely worried about the worsening humanitarian situation in Chad where, because of the crossborder effects of the conflict in Darfur, about 238 000 refugees from Sudan, 44 600 refugees from CAR and 170 000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) are hosted in 12 camps along Chad's eastern border with Sudan,

B.

preoccupied by the security situation in eastern Chad, which has deteriorated since 2006 as a result of clashes between Chadian security forces and Chadian rebels, and incursions of Janjaweed militias and armed groups from Sudan, to which banditry and attacks on humanitarian organisations must be added,

C.

whereas civilian populations in north-eastern CAR have also experienced attacks by rebel forces from Sudan,

D.

whereas a contribution must be made to stabilising the region, which is affected by the Darfur conflict, as part of a global and regional approach,

E.

whereas long-term stability in Sudan, Chad and CAR calls for respect for human rights, the rule of law and good governance,

F.

welcoming UN Security Council Resolution 1769 (2007) authorising the deployment of an AU/UN force of 26 000 soldiers in Darfur, which will contribute to pacifying the whole region in combination with the deployment of a UN police force and the planned ESDP operation in eastern Chad and northern CAR,

G.

whereas the Chadian and CAR authorities have given the UN Secretary-General confirmation of their agreement to the deployment of an EU multi-dimensional presence,

H.

supporting the efforts of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon to find a negotiated solution to the conflict in Darfur by promoting contacts between the Sudanese authorities and the various rebel groups,

I.

welcoming the signing in N'Djamena on 13 August 2007 by all the Chadian political parties of an agreement aimed at reinforcing the democratic process in Chad,

J.

noting the efforts by regional actors to find a solution to the internal conflict inside Chad with the groups that did not sign the previous agreement,

K.

welcoming UN Security Council Resolution 1778 (2007) of 25 September 2007 authorising the EU to send a peacekeeping force with a robust mandate to Chad and CAR,

1.

Recalls that no peacekeeping mission in eastern Chad and northern CAR can be successful without a genuine political reconciliation process;

2.

Calls, therefore, on the Council, the Commission and the United Nations to coordinate their efforts in order to create conditions that would enable the different parties to the conflict in the broader region of Darfur, eastern Chad and northern CAR to find a political solution which would end the insecurity and resulting humanitarian disaster in the area, facilitating the return of the refugees and IDPs to their places of origin;

3.

Endorses the launch of an ESDP operation in eastern Chad and northern CAR, to last for one year, but makes its final approval conditional on the fulfilment of the following:

(a)

the mission of the European force (EUFOR) must create the conditions necessary for a secure environment for the work of the UN police force, the return of IDPs, the supply of humanitarian aid, the free movement of humanitarian personnel and the continuation of the dialogue between the political forces in the region;

(b)

it is extremely important that EUFOR is seen to be impartial; the composition of EUFOR should therefore be diverse and Member States should contribute the necessary troops as soon as possible;

(c)

at the same time, and in order to avoid becoming a target, EUFOR must remain neutral with regard to the complex political situation in the region by avoiding becoming involved in fights between governmental authorities and rebel groups;

(d)

in full compliance with the principles of international humanitarian law, EUFOR should not become involved or interfere with the tasks performed by the NGOs present in Chad and CAR, in order not to endanger them;

(e)

EUFOR must establish effective coordination with UNAMID in order to secure the area under its responsibility in the most efficient way;

(f)

EUFOR must work as a deterrent force, which means that it must have a robust mandate under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter and clear rules of engagement allowing the use of force when necessary, in particular to prevent attacks on civilians, camps and villages, humanitarian workers or UN police officers, as well as in self defence;

(g)

in order to deter any potential aggressor, EUFOR must have the necessary number of troops and must be equipped appropriately; it must be able to secure its supply lines and conduct long-range patrols with armoured vehicles, helicopters (including transport and attack helicopters) and reconnaissance planes;

(h)

EUFOR must be considered as a bridging force with a temporary mandate; a clear exit strategy must therefore be defined before the deployment begins, which should foresee the replacement of EUFOR by a successor operation (an AU, a UN or a hybrid force) in order to provide for the successful conclusion of its mandate and the timely return of the troops committed;

4.

Regrets that this ESDP operation cannot be conducted, for many reasons, from the newly established operations centre of the European Union in Brussels;

5.

Underlines that its final approval of the ESDP operation will be subject to its being kept fully informed of the different phases in the preparation of the operation as regards, inter alia, the crisis management concept, joint action, the concept of operations, the operation plan, and the force generation process;

6.

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the African Union, the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the presidents, governments and parliaments of Chad, the Central African Republic and Sudan.

Burma

European Parliament resolution of 27 September 2007 on Burma

The European Parliament,

having regard to its previous resolutions on Burma, particularly that of 6 September 2007 (1),

having regard to Rule 103(4) of its Rules of Procedure,

A.

whereas the Alliance of All Burmese Buddhist Monks has led a massive wave of peaceful demonstrations against the repressive military junta in Burma and demanded freedom for Aung San Suu Kyi and other political prisoners,

B.

whereas the demonstrations have continued to grow in spite of arrests and fears of a violent reaction by government forces,

C.

whereas on 23 September 2007 the Dalai Lama appealed to the Burmese authorities to avoid violence toward Buddhist monks and other protestors,

D.

whereas on 20 September 2007 the situation in Burma was only briefly discussed in the UN Security Council,

1.

Applauds the courageous action of the Burmese monks and tens of thousands of other peaceful demonstrators in confronting the anti-democratic and repressive regime in Burma and utterly condemns the brutal response by the Burmese authorities;

2.

Reiterates its call for the immediate release and full freedom of movement and expression of Aung San Suu Kyi;

3.

Expresses its horror at the killing of peaceful protestors, insists that the security forces return to barracks and calls for recognition of the legitimacy of the demands that are being made, for international medical assistance for the injured and for the release of arrested demonstrators and other political prisoners;

4.

Calls for the cessation of the current illegitimate constitutional process, and its replacement by a fully representative National Convention including the National League for Democracy and other political parties and groups;

5.

Asks China and Russia fully to support a clear statement by the UN Security Council condemning the use of brutal force in Burma, calls on the UN Security Council to empower the UN Secretary-General to take action in order to facilitate national reconciliation and a transition to democracy in Burma, and calls on the UN General Assembly to take appropriate action;

6.

Calls on the UN Security Council to ensure that the Special Advisor to the UN Secretary-General on Burma, Mr Ibrahim Gambari, makes his planned visit to Burma as a matter of urgency and is given unfettered freedom of movement and access;

7.

Calls on the Council of the European Union, as a matter of urgency, to liaise with the United States, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and other members of the international community in order to prepare a coordinated series of additional measures, including targeted economic sanctions, that might be taken against the Burmese regime if it resorts to violence and does not respond to the call for a return to democracy;

8.

Asks the Commission to make the appropriate means available in the framework of the Financial Instrument for the Promotion of Democracy and Human Rights Worldwide in order to actively support the pro-democracy movement and NGOs that work for the restitution of good governance in Burma;

Obligations of cross-border service providers

European Parliament resolution of 27 September 2007 on the obligations of cross-border service providers (2006/2049(INI))

The European Parliament,

having regard to Articles 95 and 153 of the EC Treaty,

having regard to the Commission proposal for a Council directive on the liability of suppliers of services (COM(1990)0482),

having regard to the communication from the Commission on new directions on the liability of suppliers of services (COM(1994)0260),

having regard to Directive 2006/123/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 12 December 2006 on services in the internal market (1) (the Services Directive),

having regard to the Commission Green Paper on the Review of the Consumer Acquis (COM(2006)0744),

having regard to the communication from the Commission to the Council, the European Parliament and the European Economic and Social Committee on the EU Consumer Policy strategy 2007-2013 (COM(2007)0099),

having regard to the report from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council on the safety of services for consumers (COM(2003)0313),

having regard to the study on obligations of cross-border service providers of March 2007, requested by the European Parliament's Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection,

having regard to the Commission's reply of 12 January 2006 to the written question of Diana Wallis MEP (2),

having regard to its recommendation of 19 June 2007 based on the report of the Committee of Inquiry into the Crisis of the Equitable Life Assurance Society (3),

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 (A6-0294/2007),

A.

whereas the economic and social development of the EU depends to a large extent on the services sector, which is constantly growing and makes up nearly 70 % of EU GDP,

B.

whereas European consumer confidence in cross-border consumption is low, as evidenced by the fact that only 6 % of consumers made an online cross-border purchase in 2006,

C.

whereas figures for cross-border trade in services are extremely low compared to the figures for trade in goods,

D.

whereas a directive on liability for defective products (4) was adopted in 1985 and a directive on general product safety (5) in 2001,

E.

whereas the status of consumer safety and the level of consumer protection differ between Member States with regard to the cross-border provision of services, whilst in the goods sector, both international and Community law ensure satisfactory consumer protection,

F.

whereas a recent Eurobarometer survey showed that 33 % of consumers report that businesses refused to sell or deliver services because the consumer was not resident in the country of the business,

G.

whereas consumer policy is as important as competition policy to the extent that well-informed consumers create competitive pressure on markets,

H.

whereas the current EU consumer acquis is fragmented: in line with the allocation of competence in the Treaties, the EU has laid down clear rules only in certain sectors or services, such as distance contracts, unfair commercial practices, consumer credit, package holidays and timeshares,

I.

whereas there is evidence to suggest that the current fragmentation of the legislative framework may act as a deterrent to engagement in cross-border transactions on the part of consumers and that that fragmentation could provide unwelcome opportunities for cross-border scams and fraudsters,

J.

whereas the Green Paper on the Review of the Consumer Acquis does not address the obligations of service providers,

K.

whereas neither the consumer nor the service provider are always able to determine with clarity which legal regime is applicable to each aspect of their activities, that is to say, whether the law of the host or home country applies or whether the regulatory regime of the host or home country applies,

L.

whereas, in some Member States, users of services provided by private entities are better protected than users of services provided by public entities,

M.

whereas existing legislation does not, as a rule, address the substantive obligations of service providers, nor does it provide specific remedies for the consumer, in contrast to measures that have been adopted concerning the free movement of goods,

N.

whereas the lack of any legal structure at Community level allowing consumers to take collective action on a cross-border basis against fraudsters and deficient service providers constitutes both a gap in the regulatory regime and more importantly a barrier to consumers obtaining cost-effective legal redress and compensation cross-border,

O.

whereas, in some Member States, there is no body competent to assist in out-of-court dispute resolution and existing structures at Community level, namely the ECC-Net (European Consumer Centres Network) and FIN-NET (Cross-Border Out-of-Court Complaints Network for Financial Services in the European Economic Area), are both insufficiently well-known and under resourced,

Internal market for services

1.

Encourages the development of measures that will complete the internal market for services;

2.

Is convinced that a more uniform system of obligations for service providers is needed as the market in services becomes increasingly cross-border in order further to facilitate the development of a seamless internal market for services;

3.

Is aware that the Services Directive, to be transposed into national law in all Member States by 28 December 2009, should have a considerable impact on the cross-border provision of services, but notes that the Directive does not address the substantive obligations of service providers;

4.

Believes that clarifying the legal system of obligations of service providers in the EU will bring more competition as well as greater choice for consumers and at the same time should not create unjustified obstacles to the free movement of services in the internal market;

5.

Believes that the different laws, regulations and administrative practices in the Member States cause uncertainty and lack of transparency for both service providers and consumers and make the use of the EU's common resources more difficult, but also provide an opportunity for competition in consumer protection;

6.

Regrets that the present mix of legislative instruments between rules on conflict of law and internal market instruments and the failure clearly to determine their interaction mean that neither the consumer nor the service provider is always able to know with clarity which legal regime is applicable to each aspect of their activities, that is to say, whether the law of the host or home country applies or whether the regulatory regime of the host or home country applies;

7.

Is convinced that when consumers feel uncertain about the safety and quality of a service, they tend to erect mental barriers to foreign suppliers, which deters them from making use of cross-border services, and that when a consumer has a negative experience, it frequently is made to reflect unfairly on all foreign service providers;

8.

Points out that when it comes to the performance of a service, consumers are not as well protected under the Community acquis as consumers who purchase goods;

9.

Expresses its reservations, nonetheless, pending full implementation of the Services Directive, as regards far-reaching new horizontal tools for the completion of the internal market for services;

10.

Is aware that services are often complex structures involving human interaction and choice;

11.

Is convinced that not only consumers, but also and in particular small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), could, both as buyers and sellers of cross-border services, benefit from additional legal certainty, simplicity and a reduction in costs;

12.

Recalls that, as stated in the General Agreement on Trade in Services, cross-border services are provided in many different ways (such as selling online, travelling to another country for the service, or through a visit by the service provider to the consumer's home country), which should be taken into consideration;

13.

Notes that there are several pending legislative initiatives aimed at ensuring legal certainty as regards the rights and especially the obligations of cross-border service providers, namely the proposal for a regulation on the law applicable to contractual obligations (Rome I) (COM(2005)0650), Regulation (EC) No 864/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 July 2007 on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations (Rome II) (6) and the Green Paper on the Review of the Consumer Acquis;

14.

Points out that Article 5 of the Rome I proposal is essential in order to determine whether the consumer protection legislation of the country of origin (of the service provider) or of the client (consumer of the service) applies; stresses that it is important to await the outcome of this legislative procedure;

15.

Is convinced that the establishment of an internal market for services, the legal framework for which is based on the fundamental freedoms of establishment and to provide services, as set out in the EC Treaty and as defined in the Services Directive, depends on the relevant measures being clear from both a legal and a practical perspective;

Public and private service providers

16.

Calls on the Commission to bear in mind that, when it comes to the obligations of services providers, no difference should be made between public and private service providers, which should both be equally subject to the application of the directives on consumer protection;

17.

Recognises that, even though existing legislation in the EU, such as the Services Directive and the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive (7), does not contain any specific provisions aimed at regulating the cross-border liability of service providers, it may have an indirect effect on national legislation in this field;

18.

Calls on the Commission to monitor thoroughly the transposition and implementation of existing and forthcoming horizontal and sectoral legislation relating to the liability of cross-border service providers;

19.

Calls on the Commission to examine measures, such as the introduction of standards at EU level, for promoting the safety of services and for guaranteeing consumers' rights in the field of cross-border services provided by Member States;

20.

Calls on the Commission further to develop, resource and promote the work of the ECC-Net and of FIN-NET and, in the event that alternative dispute resolution systems remain unavailable in key service sectors in Members States, to consider at least a recommendation on that subject;

21.

Calls on the Commission to continue active consideration of the introduction of a legal instrument at Community level to facilitate collective action by consumers on a cross-border basis so as to allow greater access to legal redress;

22.

Recognises that liability regimes for service providers exist, albeit to varying degrees, in all Member States, but believes that in the interests of clarity and so as to create consumer confidence there needs to be some convergence, especially in key cross-border sectors; believes also that there is a need for greater cooperation between national regulatory bodies and professional organisations, where appropriate;

Request for a proposal for a horizontal instrument on the obligations of service providers

23.

Calls on the Commission, whilst continuing work on a sectoral basis in key areas, to submit, within 12 months, a work programme for an appropriate assessment of the impact of existing and forthcoming legislation in the internal market on the obligations of cross-border service providers and of the need for a possible broad horizontal instrument to align the rules on cross-border service provision in order to provide a high level of consumer protection;

24.

Considers that such an assessment should examine a possible broad instrument which should at least contain basic general rules requiring adequate information on pricing, contract terms and remedies in the case of defective or delayed services;

25.

Calls on the Commission to define clearly the interaction between private international law instruments and internal market instruments with a view to leaving no doubt as to when home or host country legislation or regulation applies and so, as far as possible, to leave no gaps in the liability regime applicable to service providers;

26.

Considers that the Commission should take into account the impact of any initiative on SMEs;

27.

Calls on all those Commission Directorates-General involved in legislation for the service sector to participate in the continuing work on the Common Frame of Reference with a view to including sections on service contracts, especially in those areas where there is already, or there is likely to be, cross-border activity, such as, by way of example only, financial services and the health sector;

28.

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and the Commission.

Equal treatment between persons irrespective of racial or ethnic origin

European Parliament resolution of 27 September 2007 on the application of Council Directive 2000/43/EC of 29 June 2000 implementing the principle of equal treatment between persons irrespective of racial or ethnic origin (2007/2094(INI))

The European Parliament,

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 opinions of the Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality and of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs (A6-0278/2007),

The fight against discrimination

A.

whereas the EU is a political project based on common values such as the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms, as stated in Article 6 TEU and in the Charter of Fundamental Rights, and promotes equality and non-discrimination through its policies and laws, also on the basis of Article 13 TEC,

B.

whereas it is important that political declarations on the fight against discrimination are matched by the progressive development and full and correct implementation of policies and laws, and notably of the anti-discrimination directives and of the projects promoting equality, such as the European Year of Equal Opportunities for All,

Implementation of the Racial Equality Directive

C.

whereas the 2006 annual report of the European Monitoring Centre for Racism and Xenophobia confirms that discrimination remains a serious problem in the Member States,

D.

whereas a recent Eurobarometer survey shows that 64 % of citizens in 25 Member States surveyed think discrimination based on ethnic origin is still widespread,

E.

whereas the adoption of Council Directive 2000/43/EC of 29 June 2000 implementing the principle of equal treatment between persons irrespective of racial or ethnic origin (1) may be seen as a major step in raising the level of protection for victims of discrimination based on racial or ethnic origin and in giving them better possibilities of redress,

Burden of proof

F.

whereas the burden of proof provision is a key aspect of the Directive because it contributes to the effective enforcement of the protection which it offers,

G.

whereas the case-law on the burden of proof shows that there are still considerable divergences between Member States as to what is accepted as prima facie evidence by the courts; whereas Member States should therefore be encouraged to exchange views on the subject, with a view to seeing whether it is possible to bring judicial procedures into line with one another,

H.

whereas the effective implementation of the principle of equality would be helped if the rules on the burden of proof in civil and administrative cases were extended to judicial provisions against victimisation,

Equality bodies

I.

whereas almost all Member States now have equality bodies or have allocated the functions to be carried out by such bodies to existing bodies,

J.

whereas all Member States should be encouraged to take the extremely positive step of broadening the remit of their equality bodies to cover discrimination on grounds other than race or ethnic origin,

K.

whereas equality bodies should have adequate resources in terms of both personnel and financing,

L.

whereas equality bodies should be able to function independently of government and should be perceived as functioning independently, i.e. not forming part of government,

M.

whereas, despite the existence of specialised anti-discrimination and equality bodies, the number of registered complaints remains low in a number of Member States,

N.

whereas in practice equality bodies unfortunately bring only a small number of cases before the courts, owing to a lack of financial and human resources; whereas it is often NGOs that provide victims of discrimination with assistance until the conclusion of the proceedings,

O.

whereas the training of public officials on the aims of the Directive is vital because of their responsibility for implementing it,

Scope

P.

whereas it is not always possible to distinguish between discrimination on the ground of racial or ethnic origin and discrimination on the ground of religion, opinion or nationality,

Q.

whereas it is not always easy to determine whether discrimination is based on gender, ethnicity, race, social conditions, sexual orientation or other factors,

Dissemination of information and awareness-raising

R.

whereas the recent Eurobarometer survey confirms that awareness of the existence of anti-discrimination legislation in the EU is quite low and that on average only one third of EU citizens claim to know their rights should they be victims of discrimination or harassment,

S.

whereas, however, some Member States have taken a wide range of information and awareness-raising initiatives (websites, campaigns, television spots, newspaper advertisements);

T.

whereas some Member States have taken the important initiative of incorporating in their national law an obligation on employers to inform their employees of anti-discrimination laws,

U.

whereas some specialised bodies in the Member States have established hotlines providing information and support to victims of discrimination,

V.

whereas there are also a number of Member States that implemented rather limited information and awareness-raising activities and in some countries no awareness-raising campaigns were reported,

W.

whereas especially in the context of the European Year for Equal Opportunities for All, both the EU institutions and the Member States should make substantial efforts to inform citizens of their rights, and whereas the Member States should ensure that the measures initiated in 2007 continue into 2008, the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue,

Data collection

X.

whereas data collection is essential in the fight against discrimination, and ethnically disaggregated statistical data can be essential in demonstrating indirect discrimination, informing policy and developing positive action strategies, but at the same time raises several ethical and legal questions,

Y.

whereas such data collection must not infringe personal privacy by revealing individuals' identities or serve as a basis for ethnic or racial profiling,

Legal redress

Z.

whereas alternative dispute resolution procedures should not pre-empt access to the courts,

AA.

whereas a large number of victims of discrimination do not lodge a complaint with the courts for various reasons, including costs and fear of reprisals,

AB.

whereas the goals of the fight against discrimination can be achieved only if legal measures are combined with positive actions at the level of the EU and the Member States;

AC.

whereas the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights has the task of collecting and analysing relevant, reliable and comparable information and data relating to fundamental rights,

1.

Reiterates the importance of Directive 2000/43/EC;

2.

Recalls that Directive 2000/43/EC is a minimum standard and should therefore be the foundation on which a comprehensive anti-discrimination policy is built;

3.

Welcomes the Commission Communication on the application of Directive 2000/43/EC of 29 June 2000 implementing the principle of equal treatment between persons irrespective of racial or ethnic origin (COM(2006)0643)), which seeks to establish a framework to combat discrimination based on racial or ethnic origin in order to ensure that the principle of equality before the law, equal opportunities and equal treatment is consolidated in the Member States, whilst fully complying with the principle of subsidiarity and respecting the various national traditions and procedures; while appreciating the overview of the implementation of the Directive contained in the Commission Communication, notes that it would also have been useful to have been provided with a detailed description of the way in which the provisions of Directive 2000/43/EC have been incorporated into national law, as specified in the Directive itself; further notes that the Commission undertook not only to collect detailed information, but also to report on it to Parliament and the Council and that Parliament, in its resolution of 14 June 2006 on non-discrimination and equal opportunities for all — a framework strategy (2), asked the Commission to ‘examine as a matter of urgency the quality and content of the laws implementing the anti-discrimination directives’;

4.

Urges the Member States to transpose all Community anti-discrimination legislation at the earliest opportunity and to make use of all the instruments available, including positive action, to ensure equality in practice;

5.

Stresses that the Directive goes beyond access to employment, self-employment and occupation, and also applies to areas such as education, social protection including social security and healthcare, social benefits and access to and the supply of goods and services in order to safeguard the development of democratic and tolerant societies that allow the participation of all irrespective of racial or ethnic origin;

6.

Notes with satisfaction that most Member States have taken action in order to implement the Directive, but is disappointed that only a few have adequately transposed all of its provisions fully;

7.

Points out that, in particular, a number of provisions of the Directive such as the definitions of direct and indirect discrimination, harassment and the burden of proof have not been correctly transposed in many Member States;

8.

Calls, in particular, for strict monitoring of the application of the rule on the partial reversal of the burden of proof, which is particularly effective in the case of employment-related disputes;

9.

Expresses its concern that Member States have exempted more areas of activity from the scope of the Directive than is desirable or justifiable;

10.

Recalls that the Directive was adopted in June 2000 and that Member States were bound to implement it before June 2003, which gave them enough time to adopt the necessary implementing measures; calls on the Commission to adopt a more proactive approach, for instance by issuing interpretative communications and guidelines for implementation to ensure full and correct implementation by Member States; asks the Commission to continue to monitor the correct implementation of the Directive with vigilance, to publish its evaluation study as soon as possible and to start infringement proceedings where necessary and without delay and in any event before the end of 2007;

11.

Reiterates that sanctions applicable to infringements of national provisions adopted pursuant to Directive 2000/43/EC must be effective, proportionate and dissuasive;

12.

Calls for the establishment of national integrated action plans in order to effectively tackle all forms of discrimination;

13.

Calls on Member States implementing or introducing national action plans to combat racism and discrimination to include components covering the gathering, checking and monitoring of data in key policy areas such as non-discrimination and equality, social inclusion, Community cohesion, integration, gender, education and employment;

14.

Calls on the Commission to submit to Parliament and the Council a specific action plan on the mechanisms and methods of observation and description of the impact of the national implementation measures; stresses the importance of developing ways of gathering data on discrimination, particularly as regards labour relations, focusing on clandestine, undeclared, poorly-paid and uninsured labour, in line with data protection legislation, as a useful tool for identifying, monitoring and reviewing policies and procedures to combat discrimination, while respecting national integration models; calls on the Commission to lay down common standards for data, so that the information transmitted can be effectively compared; calls for the importance of examining not only the content of the implementing legislation, but also its effectiveness, to be taken on board;

15.

Calls on the Commission to request the Member States, in their annual reports on the implementation of Directive 2000/43/EC, to analyse the effectiveness of anti-discrimination legislation in combating patterns of systematic segregation of minorities and women, particularly in the education sector and as regards access to the labour market, healthcare and goods and services, and further to incorporate a gender equality perspective into the reports as a way of alleviating the multiple discrimination faced by many;

16.

Reminds the Commission of the fact that Parliament would like to receive a document listing the exemptions created in Member States' legislation, so that a public debate may be held on such exemptions;

17.

Recalls that Member States should undertake independent reviews of the impact of national time limits and the effectiveness of the protection against victimisation;

18.

Is concerned about the low level of awareness of anti-discrimination legislation among citizens in the Member States and calls on the Commission and Member States to step up their efforts to raise this level of awareness;

19.

Considers that the Roma community, together with other recognised ethnic communities, need particular social protection, particularly further to enlargement, since the problems of exploitation, discrimination and exclusion have become more acute in their regard;

20.

Emphasises that laws are effective only when citizens are aware of their rights and have easy access to the courts, since the protection system provided for by the Directive depends on citizens taking the initiative;

21.

Recalls that Article 10 of the Directive imposes an obligation on Member States to disseminate information to the public on the relevant provisions of the Directive by all appropriate means;

22.

Urges Member States to adopt a set of minimum standards under the open coordination method, so as to guarantee access for children from ethnic minorities — particularly girls — to high-quality education and equal conditions, and to adopt positive legislation making it compulsory to end segregation in schools and lay down detailed plans to put an end to the provision of separate, lower quality education to boys and girls from ethnic minorities;

23.

Reminds Member States of their obligation to disseminate relevant information to citizens and to encourage and support awareness-raising campaigns about existing national legislation and bodies involved in the fight against discrimination;

24.

Urges Member States to ensure that all persons from ethnic minorities — particularly women — have access to primary, preventive and emergency healthcare services, to formulate and implement policies that ensure that even the most excluded communities are given full access to the healthcare system, and to organise training and awareness courses for healthcare workers, with a view to putting an end to prejudice;

25.

Urges the governments of the Member States to ensure equal treatment and opportunities under employment and social inclusion policies, to address the extremely high unemployment rates recorded particularly among women from ethnic minorities and, in particular, to address the serious barriers raised by direct discrimination in recruitment procedures;

26.

Firmly believes that it is vitally important that officials receive training on the subject of the aims and provisions of the Directive, in view of their responsibility for implementation of the Directive within society as a whole and in order to remove all risks of institutional racism within government bodies themselves; calls on the Member States to invest in such training and encourages them and the Commission to set up European programmes for exchanges between the various national administrative bodies;

27.

Calls on the Member States to collect, compile and publish annually comprehensive, accurate, reliable and gender-disaggregated statistics relating to the following: the labour market, housing, education and training, health and social benefits, public access to goods and services, the criminal justice system, and civic and political participation, and to set clear, quantitative targets and indicators within the employment and social inclusion guidelines that enable them to measure progress in the situation of migrants and/or minorities;

28.

Recommends that Member States resource and empower their equality bodies properly so that they can perform their important function effectively, and so that where equality bodies do have substantial powers they exercise these fully;

29.

Recommends that Member States resource and empower those NGOs which are active in informing citizens and providing legal aid in matters of discrimination;

30.

Points out that in informing citizens and providing legal aid, NGOs carry a disproportionate share of the burden without enjoying corresponding status and funding from the authorities of the Members States;

31.

Recommends that the Commission carefully monitor the independent functioning of equality bodies, for which purpose it can use as a reference the Principles relating to the Status of National Institutions (‘the Paris Principles’) as adopted by the UN General Assembly in its Resolution 48/134 of 20 December 1993, which include principles on the adequate financing of such bodies;

32.

Reminds the Commission of Parliament's position that Member States must ensure that independent bodies have adequate financial resources at their disposal in order at least to be able to guarantee that complaints will be dealt with free of charge in the case of those who are not in a position to contribute financially themselves, and calls on the Commission to discuss with the Member States how to achieve this objective;

33.

Recommends that Member States make use of the best practices of other Member States, such as allowing equality bodies to initiate legal proceedings on behalf of victims or participate as amicus curiae in legal proceedings;

34.

Recommends that data on complaints and on the outcome of the related proceedings in courts, specialised bodies, other bodies or tribunals should be disaggregated according to the ground of discrimination, which would improve the assessment of the effectiveness of the implementation of the legislation, especially in countries where specialised bodies and/or tribunals deal with all grounds of discrimination;

35.

Recommends that the Member States provide their equality bodies with sufficient human and financial resources to enable them to perform their important role effectively, including the provision of appropriate assistance to victims of discrimination; considers that such bodies should also be given the necessary powers to investigate cases;

36.

Encourages Member States to step up dialogue with NGOs combating all forms of discrimination and to involve them closely in policies seeking to promote the principle of equal treatment;

37.

Stresses that victims of discrimination should be assisted in legal proceedings and recalls in this respect that statutory and non-statutory organisations can be of real help to victims;

38.

Calls on the Member States to collect and provide relevant and reliable and comparable information and data to the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (the Fundamental Rights Agency);

39.

Recommends that Member States ensure that such statutory and non-statutory organisations are adequately resourced;

40.

Asks the Commission to carefully study the various legal questions and parameters regarding the issue of data collection and to come forward with proposals to improve the recording of cases of discrimination, including to ensure that such data collection does not infringe personal privacy by revealing individuals' identities or serve as a basis for ethnic or racial profiling; provision should be made for comparable sets of data to be available from all the Member States; at present, these data are not available for all Member States and comparable data are critical to give a solid platform on which to build policy;

41.

Underlines the sensitivity of processing data on race and ethnicity, and recalls the applicability of the data protection directives to data processed in the application of the Directive; stresses that additional guarantees should be provided for data on race and ethnicity, as these data could be diverted and used for other purposes in the justice and home affairs field, for instance for ethnic profiling; reiterates its request for the adoption of a Framework Decision on Data Protection, also to guarantee that any interaction of data between the first and third pillars falls under strict data protection rules;

42.

Recommends that Member States consider the collecting of statistical data, using the appropriate safeguards on protection of personal data to exclude the use of ethnic profiling, on representation of ethnic and racial groups in different areas of society, including both the public and private sectors, and to develop policies, on the basis of these data, aiming to ensure equal access to employment, self-employment, occupation, education, social protection and social security, social benefits and access to and the supply of goods;

43.

Calls on the Commission to conduct a study examining which Member States have positive action provisions, what the tests are that must be satisfied, how these provisions have been applied in practice by governmental or non-governmental bodies, and how effective they have been;

44.

Calls on the Member States to make publicly available detailed statistics on racist crime and to develop surveys of crime and/or victims of crime that allow for the collection of quantitative and comparable data on victims of racist crime;

45.

Calls on the Commission to look into and supply data on multiple discrimination;

46.

Asks the Commission to monitor attentively disguised discrimination based on ‘genuine and determining occupational requirements’, the interaction between discrimination based on the application of this exemption on religious grounds within the framework of Directive 2006/54/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 July 2006 on the implementation of the principle of equal opportunities and equal treatment of men and women in matters of employment and occupation (recast) (3) and its consequences for race and ethnicity, and to pay particular attention to discrimination in the field of education;

47.

Reiterates the political, social and legal desirability of putting an end to the hierarchy of protection against the different grounds of discrimination, and welcomes in this respect the Commission's intention to put forward a proposal for extending the scope of Directive 2000/43/EC to all other grounds of discrimination, as stated in its Annual Legislative Programme for 2008; consequently expects the Commission to start preparatory works already this year in order to issue its proposal as soon as possible, and in any case before the end of 2008;

48.

Welcomes the Commission's interest in the issue of multiple discrimination, including the launching of a study on this subject; calls on the Commission to adopt a broad concept of multiple discrimination capable of taking into account the possibility of individuals being at risk of discrimination on several grounds at once;

49.

Calls on Member States to accord greater importance to evidence of discrimination; recommends that they follow the guidelines relating to evidence of discrimination drawn up by the International Labour Organization, as proposed by the Fundamental Rights Agency, and that they train people to produce evidence in the key areas of employment and work, education, housing and accommodation, health, access to goods and services, and racist violence;

50.

Calls on the Commission to involve the Fundamental Rights Agency in the Community anti-discrimination legislative framework in a manner that is in keeping with that body's remit, so as to enable it to play an important role by supplying a regular stream of accurate and up-to-date information of relevance to the drafting of further legislation;

51.

Urges the EU institutions to continue to use the situation of ethnic minorities, particularly women and minors, in applicant countries as a criterion for the purpose of assessing preparedness for accession to the European Union;

52.

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

Equality between women and men in the EU

European Parliament resolution of 27 September 2007 on equality between women and men in the European Union — 2007 (2007/2065(INI))

The European Parliament,

having regard to Articles 2, 3(2) and 141 of the EC Treaty,

having regard to the report from the Commission to the Council, the European Parliament, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions on equality between women and men — 2007 (‘the Commission report on equality’) (COM(2007)0049),

having regard to the Community framework strategy on gender equality (2001-2005) (COM(2000)0335) and the Commission's annual reports for 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2006 (COM(2001)0179, COM(2002)0258, COM(2003)0098, COM(2004)0115, COM(2005)0044 and COM(2006)0071),

having regard to the European Pact for Gender Equality, adopted by the European Council in March 2006,

having regard to the common declaration adopted on 4 February 2005 by the ministers of the EU Member States responsible for gender equality policies,

having regard to the Roadmap for equality between women and men 2006-2010 (COM(2006)0092),

having regard to the opinion on gender pay gap adopted by the Advisory Committee on Equal Opportunities for Women and Men on 22 March 2007,

having regard to the framework of actions on gender equality, adopted by the European social partners on 22 March 2005,

having regard to Article 23 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (1),

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 and the opinions of the Committee on Regional Development, the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development and the Committee on Culture and Education (A6-0290/2007),

A.

whereas the Commission and the Member States have recently renewed their commitment to gender equality, namely with the abovementioned Roadmap for equality between women and men and the European Pact for Gender Equality,

B.

whereas there is a clear gender dimension to the demographic challenge facing Europe and gender equality policies are fundamental to meeting that challenge,

C.

whereas gender mainstreaming means, in practice, assessing how political, administrative and social measures impact on the lives and situations of both women and men and, where necessary, taking responsibility for revisiting those measures with a view to promoting gender equality,

D.

whereas the reconciliation of professional, family and private life for both women and men is essential to promoting the entry, re-entry and permanent presence of women in the labour market; whereas responsibility for children is a responsibility shared between parents irrespective of sex,

E.

whereas segregation in education, persistent gender stereotyping in the choice of fields of study and discrimination against girls and young women in education remain widespread and have negative consequences for the comparative position of women in certain sectors of the labour market, particularly those relating to advanced technology, science, research and engineering,

F.

whereas, at the European Council of March 2006, the Council once again recognised that policies on gender equality are essential instruments for economic growth,

G.

whereas gender mainstreaming is specified as a key requirement in the Lisbon Agenda, and whereas gender mainstreaming is still underdeveloped and often absent from National Action Plans for employment and social inclusion,

H.

whereas the Commission's report on equality highlights the positive result achieved as regards female employment rates, in that six million of the eight million jobs created in the EU since 2000 have been taken up by women but states at the same time that there are significant variations in the employment rates of different age groups as well as between occupations, with female employment rates having risen mainly in those sectors where women were already in a majority; whereas it is deplorable that the majority of new jobs for women are part-time jobs and some of them are unsafe and insecure jobs which pay low — and slowly increasing — wages,

I.

whereas the Commission's report on employment in Europe 2006 shows that 32,3 % of women in employment in the EU have a part-time job compared to only 7,4% of men,

J.

whereas no substantial developments have been made since the previous report with regard to the gender pay gap (which averages at 15 % across the EU and remains up to 30 % in some European countries), which clearly demonstrates that there has been no real progress in the implementation of the principle of equal pay for work of equal value, a principle which was introduced thirty years ago by Council Directive 75/117/EEC of 10 February 1975 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the application of the principle of equal pay for men and women (2); whereas the distribution of wealth between men and women in the EU is also unequal,

K.

whereas a 2003 Eurobarometer survey showed that the main factors deterring fathers from taking on more domestic and family responsibilities are not only of a financial nature but also concern the fear that doing so may have negative consequences for career development,

L.

whereas long-term unemployment is proportionally higher among women and whereas responsibility for children aged 5 and under is linked to a higher rate of unemployment than in the case of women without children,

M.

whereas adequate access to services for the care of children, the elderly and other dependants is essential in order to permit the full and equal participation of men and women in the labour market,

N.

whereas Member States that have adopted reconciliation policies for both women and men have higher birth rates, a higher percentage of women in the labour market and higher employment rates,

O.

whereas social partners play an important role in defining actions for gender equality at the European, national, regional, sectoral and corporate levels, and successful reconciliation policies require a partnership between employers, trade union organisations, employees and public authorities,

P.

whereas best practices show that reconciliation actions at the microeconomic level result in lower staff turnover and absenteeism, higher commitment and productivity, and attract an efficient and motivated workforce,

Q.

whereas Article 16(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 of 11 July 2006 laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund and the Cohesion Fund (3) provides that the Member States and the Commission are to ensure that equality between men and women and the integration of the gender perspective are promoted during the various stages of implementation of those funds,

1.

Welcomes the efforts of the Commission to intensify its actions promoting equality between women and men;

2.

Welcomes the focus of the Commission's report on equality as regards employment issues such as the gender pay gap, reconciliation and the equal treatment directives, since economic independence for women is one of the priorities of the Roadmap for equality between women and men;

3.

Welcomes the culture of equality in the EU, including the Commission's Roadmap for equality and the Council's Pact for Gender Equality, and calls for its practical implementation by way of concrete measures and allocation of financial resources;

4.

Stresses that further efforts and additional measures to overcome outdated decision-making and behavioural patterns, particularly in the administrative sector, are required in order to improve gender mainstreaming across policy areas;

5.

Points out that gender mainstreaming at EU level is being conducted as a dual strategy seeking to ensure, on the one hand, equality for men and women in all policy and decision-making areas and, on the other, targeted measures to curb discrimination against women;

6.

Calls on the Commission to propose, in addition to the gender mainstreaming approach, a series of specific measures including awareness-raising campaigns, the exchange of best practices, dialogues with citizens and public-private partnership initiatives;

7.

Recognises the potential of social cohesion policy for promoting equality;

8.

Insists on the need to have a clear and permanent link between the annual reports on equality and the priorities defined in the Roadmap in order to ensure an efficient cycle of planning, monitoring and evaluation of gender equality policies; encourages the Commission to work towards achieving this cycle;

9.

Recalls its request in its resolution of 2 February 2006 on equality between women and men in the European Union (4) that the Commission monitor compliance by the Member States with the acquis communautaire in the area of equality between women and men in all policies, particularly employment policies but also those concerning access to and the provision of goods and services; calls, therefore, on the Commission to carry out a study on how Member States implement Community legislation in the area of equality and to take appropriate action in the event of non-transposition or infringement;

10.

Calls on the Member States to support the Commission in monitoring the implementation of national measures in order to assess the effectiveness of policies and whether the principle of equality is being upheld, in particular with regard to statutory entitlements and pension and social security schemes;

11.

Calls on the Member States to propose specific measures to combat inequalities between women and men caused by interrupted patterns of employment resulting, in particular, from maternity leave or leave to care for dependants and to reduce their negative effects on careers, wages and pension entitlements, and to work towards gender-neutral wages and pensions; calls on the Commission to find appropriate means to combat the gender segregation of the labour market and to facilitate women's entry into non-traditional sectors;

12.

Calls on the Commission to carry out gender analysis and mainstreaming in order to establish the impact of pension reforms on women's lives in the EU, with the aim of individualising pensions rights and social security and tax systems;

13.

Welcomes the consultation procedure with the social partners launched by the Commission in order to improve both the legislative and non-legislative frameworks for reconciling professional, family and private life; encourages the Commission to launch forthwith the second phase of the consultation;

14.

Calls on the Commission to gather information on, and disseminate best practice examples of policies relating to the working environment which allow for an effective work-life balance and which include measures for fostering greater involvement by men in family life; calls on the Member States and the social partners to take the necessary measures to be able partly to prevent, and partly to intervene, in order to deal with sexual and moral harassment in the workplace; insists that women must be supported in their professional careers; urges the Commission and the Member States to take measures to reduce the gender pay gap and to promote both parental leave for men and paternity leave;

15.

Notes that the reconciliation of work, private and family life is an important issue and one of the keys to increasing employment and reducing the burden of demographic ageing; points out that all policies in this area must be based on the principle of free personal choice and be geared to the various stages in life;

16.

Regrets the fact that the Commission omitted to consult the social partners when drafting the Green Paper on modernising labour law (COM(2006)0708);

17.

Notes that globalisation has been a force for good, allowing women all over the world to reach their potential, namely through improved access to education and health-care; notes, however, that trade liberalisation has created contradictory and simultaneous trends, on the one hand effectively promoting the formalisation of labour relations in a number of areas, and, on the other, expanding the informal economy through new types of work and income for women, such as home-based work, sub-contracting and micro-enterprises;

18.

Notes that one effect of increased globalisation is the feminisation of poverty and that thorough research should be carried out in order to ascertain the total impact of globalisation on women's ability to earn a living;

19.

Calls on the Commission to ensure that all future trade agreements, for example those within the framework of the WTO, are also scrutinised in the light of gender issues;

20.

Calls on the Commission to focus specifically on the barriers deterring women from gaining access to top jobs, in order to assess the structural dimension of this phenomenon; welcomes, therefore, measures to help women enter the labour market on an equal par with men and to promote female entrepreneurship and insists on the importance of eliminating existing prejudices and gender discrimination regarding the competitiveness and employability of women, especially in high-level jobs;

21.

Emphasises the need to address the major democratic deficit relating to women's under-representation in political decision-making, and calls on the Member States to investigate the factors that prevent women from participating fully in the political arena and from gaining senior management roles in all levels of public administration, and calls for measures to be taken to remedy such situations;

22.

Calls for specific attention to be paid to the situation of women belonging to ethnic minorities and of female immigrants, as their marginalisation is reinforced by multiple discrimination from both outside and within their own communities; recommends the adoption of national integrated action plans in order to effectively tackle multiple discrimination, especially where different bodies deal with discrimination issues in a particular Member State;

23.

Highlights the importance of ensuring that immigrants entering the EU are aware of the values and existing laws and social conventions relating to gender equality in the society of the host country so as to avoid situations of discrimination which result from a lack of cultural awareness;

24.

Calls on the Commission and the Member States to intensify the exchange of best practices on nondiscrimination in the labour market in order to foster the equality-efficiency dynamic in respect of national specificities;

25.

Calls on the Member States to develop specific gender-equality objectives and targets within the EU Social Inclusion Strategy in order to combat poverty and social exclusion, including a set of policy actions to support non-traditional and one-parent families, and specific policy actions in support of groups of women who are at a high risk of poverty and social exclusion, such as migrants, refugees, ethnic minority women, older women and disabled women;

26.

Urges the Commission to cooperate with Member States in the collection of relevant data and in the enforcement of measures that could prevent human trafficking for sexual exploitation and forced labour;

27.

Calls on the Commission to focus on instruments and mechanisms for preventing the exploitation of migrant workers, including the recognition and enforcement of fundamental human rights of irregular migrants instead of relying on repression;

28.

Urges the Member States to mutualise the costs of maternity and parental leave allowances in order to ensure that women no longer represent a more costly source of labour than men;

29.

Calls on the Member States to combat, in conjunction with both sides of industry, discrimination against pregnant women in the labour market and to take all necessary steps to ensure a high level of protection for mothers; calls on the Commission to make a more detailed assessment of compliance with Community law in this area and to determine whether it needs to be revised;

30.

Notes with concern that, despite all the progress made, women, especially elderly women and single mothers, are still at risk of exclusion and poverty;

31.

Calls on the Member States and the social partners to pursue the objective of making it possible for all women who seek full-time work to be offered such work rather than part-time jobs, which are often unsafe and insecure;

32.

Welcomes the Commission's efforts to give new impetus to reaching the targets agreed upon by the 2002 European Council in Barcelona, of eliminating obstacles to the equal participation of women and men in the labour market and of introducing, by 2010, childcare for 90 % of children between the age of three and mandatory school age, and at least 33 % of children under three years old, particularly through the use of structural funds; encourages the Commission to present in 2008, as planned, a communication setting out further steps to be taken at all levels in order to reach these targets; considers that the aim should be to give all children the right to high-quality care, incorporating an educational element;

33.

Considers that Member States have a responsibility to ensure that everybody who requires geriatric care or care on grounds of illness or disability has access to high-quality care and treatment;

34.

Insists on the need to develop policies that focus on combating gender stereotypes in education from an early age, including eliminating them from school curricula and textbooks, providing awareness training to teachers and students and encouraging boys and girls to embrace non-traditional educational paths;

35.

Calls on the Commission to establish a dialogue with, and provide encouragement to, the media, given their influential role in the field of social responsibility, in order to promote gender equality and prevent the stereotyped portrayal of women and men;

36.

Recommends the development of pan-European measures in order to increase awareness of a zerotolerance stance towards sexist insults and degrading representations of women in the media and in commercial communications;

37.

Recommends that the different individual needs of girls and boys, in terms of their development, should be taken into account to a greater extent in education, and that, in doing so, stereotypes should be counteracted;

38.

Considers that the labour market in most EU countries does not adequately reflect the superior level of education reached by women nor does it reflect women's better academic performance;

39.

Recommends working towards ensuring that school education promotes knowledge and fixes sensible criteria in order to make it possible to achieve freedom, personal autonomy, as well as equity so as to achieve social inclusion for women; further believes that so-called key competences, such as an entrepreneurial attitude and a scientific and technological approach, should be reinforced, especially among women;

40.

Stresses the need for training measures to be provided during parental leave in order to help women cope with changing job requirements;

41.

Observes the importance of having adequate comparable statistics and, in this context, deplores the invisibility of certain categories of person in European statistics, for example partners working on family farms , who, if they are women, are generally recorded as ‘housewives’; calls on Eurostat to include this category of person in its statistics in order to raise the profile of women's work;

42.

Stresses that, in the agricultural sector, women often do a significant proportion of the work as family workers; considers that this work could also be appropriately taken into account in rural development policy;

43.

Draws attention to the large number of (mostly female) partners working on family farms, whose legal status is uncertain in many Member States, which can give rise to specific financial and legal problems with regard to access to maternity leave and sick leave, the accumulation of pension entitlements and access to social security, as well as in the event of divorce;

44.

Stresses the need to improve the legal status of women working in the agricultural sector, both in relation to social security, by ensuring that they all have direct access thereto, and in relation to their role on the farms themselves, with particular emphasis on co-ownership of family farms, access to loans, and their rights in the context of inheritance law;

45.

Draws attention in this connection to its resolution of 21 February 1997 on the situation of the assisting spouses of the self-employed (5), in which it called for an improvement in the circumstances of assisting spouses in agriculture, to be achieved by strengthening Council Directive 86/613/EEC of 11 December 1986 on the application of the principle of equal treatment between men and women engaged in an activity, including agriculture, in a self-employed capacity, and on the protection of selfemployed women during pregnancy and motherhood (6), to that end laying down a legal status for assisting spouses whereby, instead of being denied recognition as workers, they would belong to social security schemes in order to qualify for sickness, invalidity, and accident insurance and an old age pension;

46.

Draws attention to the high levels of poverty and degrees of isolation affecting women in some rural areas; points to the need for effective measures to guarantee equal opportunities for women, an aim which should be central to all the measures provided for under the common agricultural policy and to other relevant Community policies;

47.

Considers it vital to improve the quality of life for women living in rural areas by enabling them to gain access more easily to education and vocational training, lifelong learning, new media infrastructures, the necessary efficient local public health services, and locally based facilities and amenities for children and families, including crèches, nurseries, schools, arts centres, and markets;

48.

Emphasises the need for the European Social Fund to support specific measures that improve women's access to, and participation in, the labour market as well as gender mainstreaming; considers that regional funds should have a gender budget line (gender budgeting) for the funding of measures designed to promote gender equality and surveys assessing the impact of policies relating to the situation of women;

49.

Recalls that there is a need to incorporate new approaches and innovative instruments into regional development strategies and stresses the need to provide training in gender mainstreaming methodology and tools for decision-makers at regional and local levels; calls on the Commission to further develop its guidelines for the administrative sector on gender mainstreaming for structural fund purposes;

50.

50 Asks the Commission, with the help of the European Institute for Gender Equality, to include facts and statistics from acceding and candidate countries in future annual reports on equality between women and men;

51.

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission and to the governments and parliaments of the Member States.

Corrigendum to the position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 25 April 2007 with a view to the adoption of Directive 2007/.../EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on criminal measures aimed at ensuring the enforcement of intellectual property rights

( Official Journal of the European Union, C 74 E, 20 March 2008 )

Parliament's position should read as follows:

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 25 April 2007 with a view to the adoption of Directive 2007/.../EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on criminal measures aimed at ensuring the enforcement of intellectual property 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 Article 95 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)

The Green Paper on the fight against counterfeiting and piracy in the Single Market presented by the Commission on 15 October 1998 noted that counterfeiting and piracy had grown into an international phenomenon with major repercussions at economic and social level and in terms of consumer protection, especially as regards public health and safety. An action plan was drawn up as part of the follow-up to the Green Paper and was included in a communication on the same subject from the Commission to the Council, the European Parliament and the Economic and Social Committee on 30 November 2000.

(2)

In its conclusions, the Brussels European Council of 20 and 21 March 2003 invited the Commission and the Member States to improve exploitation of intellectual property rights by taking forward measures against counterfeiting and piracy.

(3)

At international level, all Member States, as well as the Community itself, as regards matters within its competence, are bound by the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (the ‘TRIPS Agreement’), concluded in the framework of the World Trade Organization and approved by Council Decision 94/800/EC (3). The TRIPS Agreement contains, in particular, provisions on criminal matters which are common standards applicable at international level, but the disparities between Member States are still too great, and they do not permit effective combating of intellectual property offences, particularly the most serious ones. This causes a loss of confidence in the Internal Market in business circles, with a consequent reduction in investment in innovation and creation.

(4)

The Commission also adopted, in November 2004, an Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Strategy towards third countries.

(5)

Directive 2004/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the enforcement of intellectual property rights (4) lays down measures, procedures and civil and administrative remedies. A sufficiently dissuasive set of penalties applicable throughout the Community is needed to make the provisions laid down in that Directive complete. Certain criminal provisions need to be harmonised so that counterfeiting and piracy in the internal market can be combated effectively. The Community legislature has the power to take the criminal-law measures that are necessary to guarantee the full effectiveness of the rules it lays down on the protection of intellectual property , as defined by this Directive, other than patents .

(6)

Building on the Commission Communication on a customs response to counterfeiting and piracy adopted in October 2005, the Council adopted a Resolution on 13 March 2006, in which it underlined that the Lisbon Strategy objectives ‘can only be achieved through a well-functioning internal market with adequate measures to encourage investment in the knowledge-based economy’ and recognised‘the threat posed by the serious growth in counterfeiting and piracy to the Union's knowledge-based economy and in particular to health and safety (...)’.

(7)

In its resolution of 7 September 2006 on counterfeiting of medicinal products, the European Parliament took the view that the European Community should equip itself as a matter of urgency with the means to combat effectively illicit practices in the area of piracy and the counterfeiting of medicines.

(8)

The level of sentencing for natural and legal persons who have committed such offences must be harmonised. In particular, the rules on prison sentences, fines and confiscation must be harmonised.

(9)

In respect of persons accused of committing the offences laid down in this Directive, and in establishing their intention to infringe the intellectual property right in question, account should be taken of the extent to which the accused had, in advance of the infringement, substantial grounds to plead that the intellectual property right in question was invalid.

(10)

Provisions must be laid down to facilitate criminal investigations. The Member States must ensure the cooperation of the holders of intellectual property rights with the joint investigation teams in accordance with the arrangements provided for in Council Framework Decision 2002/465/JHA of 13 June 2002 on joint investigation teams (5). The involvement of the holders of intellectual property rights concerned should constitute a supporting role that will not interfere with the neutrality of the state investigations .

(11)

To facilitate investigations or criminal proceedings concerning intellectual property offences, these may not be dependent on a report or accusation made by a person subjected to the offence.

(12)

The rights enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union should be fully respected when criminal acts and penalties are defined, during investigations and in the course of judicial proceedings.

(13)

This Directive does not affect specific liability systems such as laid down for Internet service providers by 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  (6) and by Directive 2001/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 on the harmonisation of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society (7).

(14)

Since the objective of this Directive cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States acting alone and can therefore be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.

(15)

This Directive respects fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. In particular, this Directive seeks to ensure full respect for intellectual property, in accordance with Article 17(2) of the Charter.

(16)

It is necessary to ensure adequate protection of intellectual property rights in the audiovisual sector, as indicated by Directive 98/84/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 November 1998 on the legal protection of services based on, or consisting of, conditional access (8),

HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

Objective and scope

This Directive lays down the criminal measures necessary to ensure the enforcement of intellectual property rights , as defined below, in the context of counterfeiting and piracy .

Those measures shall apply to intellectual property rights , other than patents, provided for in Community legislation.
