TEXT PROPOSED BY THE COMMISSION

AMENDMENTS BY PARLIAMENT

Amendment 1

Article 4

By-catch requirements

By-catch retained on board

1. Fishing vessels may not conduct directed fisheries for species for which by catch limits apply. A directed fishery for a species is conducted when that species comprises the largest percentage by weight of the catch in any one haul .

1. Fishing vessels shall limit their by-catch to a maximum of 2 500 kg or 10 %, whichever is the greater, for each species listed in Annex I for which no quota has been allocated in that Division to the Community .

2. By-catches of the species for which no quotas have been fixed by the Community for a part of the NAFO Regulatory Area and taken in that part when fishing directly for any species may not exceed for each species 2 500 kg or 10% by weight of the total catch retained on board, whichever is the greater. However, in a part of the NAFO Regulatory Area where directed fishing of certain species is banned or an ‘others’ quota has been fully utilised, by-catches of each of such species may not exceed 1 250 kg or 5% respectively .

2. In cases where a ban on fishing is in force or an ‘others’ quota has been fully utilised, the by-catch of the species concerned may not exceed 1 250 kg or 5%, whichever is the greater .

3. Whenever the total amounts of species subject to bycatch limits in any haul exceed the limits laid down in paragraph 2, whichever is applicable, vessels shall immediately move a minimum of five nautical miles away from the previous haul position. Whenever the total amounts of species subject to by-catch limits in any future haul exceed those limits, vessels shall again immediately move a minimum of five nautical miles away from the previous haul position and shall not return to the Area for at least 48 hours .

3. The percentages in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be calculated as the percentage, by weight, for each species of the total catch retained on board. Catches of shrimp shall not be included in the calculation of by-catch levels of groundfish species .

4. In the event that total by catches of all species in any haul exceed 5% by weight in Division 3M and 2.5% in Division 3L, vessels fishing for shrimp (Pandalus borealis), shall immediately move a minimum of 5 nautical miles from the position of the previous haul.

5. Catches of shrimp shall not be used in the calculation of by-catch level of groundfish species.

Amendment 2

Article 4a (new)

Article 4(a)

By-catch in any one haul

1. If the percentages of by-catches in any one haul exceed the percentages laid down in Article 4(1) and (2) the vessel shall immediately move a minimum of 5 nautical miles from any position of the previous tow and throughout the next tow keep a minimum distance of 10 nautical miles from any position of the previous tow. If after moving, the next haul exceeds these by-catch limits the vessel shall leave the Division and not return for at least 60 hours.

2. Should total by-catches of all ground fish species subject to quota in any haul in the shrimp fishery exceed 5% by weight in Division 3M or 2,5% by weight in Division 3L, the vessel shall move a minimum of 10 nautical miles from any position of the previous tow and throughout the next tow keep a minimum distance of 10 nautical miles from any position of the previous tow. If after moving, the next haul exceeds these by-catch limits the vessel shall leave the Division and not return for at least 60 hours.

3. The percentage of by-catch authorised in any one haul shall be calculated as the percentage, by weight, for each species of the total catch in that haul.

Amendment 3

Article 4b (new)

Article 4(b)

Directed fishery and by-catch

1. Masters of Community vessels shall not conduct directed fisheries for species for which by-catch limits apply. A directed fishery for a species shall be considered to have been conducted when that species comprises the largest percentage by weight of the total catch in any one haul.

2. However, when a vessel is conducting a directed fishery for skate with a legal mesh size appropriate for that fishery, the first time that, in a haul, catches of species for which bycatch limits apply comprise the largest percentage by weight of the total catch, they shall be considered as incidental. In this event the vessel shall immediately change position in accordance with Article 4a(1) and (2).

3. Following an absence from a Division of at least 60 hours in accordance with the provisions of Article 4a(1) and (2), masters of Community vessels shall undertake a trial tow the duration of which shall not exceed 3 hours. By way of derogation from paragraph 1 of this Article, if in a haul from such a trial tow catches of species for which by-catch limits apply comprise the largest percentage by weight of the total catch, it shall not be considered as a directed fishery. In this event the vessel shall immediately change position in accordance with Article 4a(1) and (2).

Amendment 4

(As an agreement was reached between Parliament and Council, Parliament's position at first reading corresponds to the final legislative act, Regulation (EC) No .../2007.)

ANNEX

Joint statement by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on Article 26 relating to operational management

The European Parliament and the Council invite the Commission to present, following an impact assessment that provides a substantive analysis of alternatives from a financial, operational and organisational perspective, the necessary legislative proposals entrusting an agency with the long-term operational management of the VIS. The impact assessment could form part of the impact assessment which the Commission undertook to carry out with regard to the SIS II.

The Commission commits itself to presenting, within two years of the entry into force of this Regulation, the necessary legislative proposals to entrust an agency with the long-term operational management of the VIS. Such proposals shall include the modifications required to adapt the Regulation concerning the VIS and the exchange of data between Member States on short-stay visas.

The European Parliament and the Council commit themselves to dealing with these proposals as quickly as possible and to have them adopted in time to allow the agency to take up fully its activities before the end of a five-year period following the entry into force of this Regulation.

Joint statement by the European Parliament and the Council concerning the misuse of visas and invitations

The European Parliament and the Council underline the need to tackle the phenomenon of visa misuse in a comprehensive manner and believe that the treatment of cases of misuse which emerge or come to light after the expiry of the validity of a visa should be carefully considered in the context of the Visa Code proposal. Following an agreement on the Visa Code, they invite the Commission to propose, if necessary, appropriate amendments to the VIS Regulation.

Furthermore, the European Parliament and the Council invite the Commission to report not later than three years after the start of operations of the VIS on the situation as regards misuse by persons issuing invitations, and to present, if necessary, suitable proposals for amendments.

Statement by the Council concerning the proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on common standards and procedures in Member States for returning illegally staying third-country nationals

The Council recognises the importance of adopting without delay a Return Directive which shall contribute to the establishment of an effective removal and repatriation policy based on common standards for persons to be returned in a humane manner and with full respect for their human rights and dignity, as required by the Hague Programme. In order to enforce this European legislation, appropriate resources must be available. The Council therefore commits itself to making progress on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on common standards and procedures in Member States for returning illegally staying third country nationals and to starting as soon as possible the inter-institutional discussions with the European Parliament with a view to reaching a first reading agreement by the end of 2007.

Recital 11a (new)

(11a) These improvements in the exchange of data constitute a step forward in making the information available between law enforcement officers in the Member States. It is appropriate to ensure that there are reasons for automated searches in national DNA and fingerprint databases whenever personal data are concerned.

Amendment 7

Recital 15

(15) Subject to certain conditions, Member States should be able to supply personal and non-personal data in order to improve the exchange of information in connection with major events with a cross-border dimension and the purpose of which is to prevent terrorist offences. The supplying of the data should be necessary and proportionate and based on particular circumstances that give reason to believe that criminal offences will be committed.

Amendment 8

Recital 15a (new)

(15a) Within the framework of its mandate, Europol should also be granted access to national databases.

Amendment 9

Recital 16

(16) As international cooperation, particularly in combating cross-border crime, is to be further improved, this Decision, in addition to improving the exchange of information, should allow, amongst other things, closer cooperation between police authorities, for example by means of joint security operations (e.g. joint patrols) and cross-border intervention in the event of immediate danger to life or limb .

(16) As international cooperation, particularly in combating cross-border crime, is to be further improved, this Framework Decision, in addition to improving the exchange of information, should allow, amongst other things, closer cooperation between police authorities, for example by means of joint security operations (e.g. joint patrols).

Amendment 10

Recital 18

(18) Aware of the importance which this Decision has for protecting the rights of individuals, and aware that the supply of personal data to another Member State requires a sufficient standard of data protection on the part of the receiving Member State , Member States should provide for efficient implementation of all data protection rules contained in the Decision .

(18) The hit/no hit system provides a structure for comparing anonymous profiles, where additional personal data are exchanged only after a hit, and guarantees an adequate system of data protection, it being understood that the supply of personal data to another Member State requires an adequate level of data protection on the part of the receiving Member State.

Amendment 11

Recital 18a (new)

(18a) Special categories of data concerning racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, party or trade union membership, sexual orientation or health should be processed only if absolutely necessary and proportionate for the purpose of a specific case and in compliance with specific safeguards.

Amendment 12

Recital 18b (new)

(18b) These specific rules on data protection are created in absence of an adequate third pillar legal instrument on data protection. When approved, that general legal instrument should be applied to the entire area of police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters provided always that its level of data protection is adequate and not lower than the protection laid down in the Council of Europe Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard to automatic Processing of Personal Data of 28 January 1981 and its additional Protocol of 8 November 2001 and takes account of Recommendation No R (87) 15 of 17 September 1987 of the Committee of Ministers to Member States regulating the use of personal data in the police sector, also where data are not processed automatically.

Amendment 13

Recital 18c (new)

(18c) The European Parliament should be consulted on any measure implementing this Framework Decision.

Amendment 14

Amendment 15

Recital 18e (new)

(18e) With regard to the supply of information and assistance in connection with major events and mass gatherings, the overall framework must be reconciled with Joint Action 97/339/JHA of 26 May 1997 with regard to cooperation on law and order and security (2) and the Council Resolution of 29 April 2004 on security at the European Council meetings and other comparable events (3) and the Initiative of the Kingdom of the Netherlands with a view to the adoption of a Council Decision on strengthening cross-border police cooperation with regard to meetings attended by large numbers of people from more than one Member State, at which policing is primarily aimed at maintaining law and order and security and preventing and combating criminal offences (4).

Amendment 16

Recital 20

(20) This Decision respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles set out in particular in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union,

(20) This Framework Decision respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised, in particular , by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union .

COUNCIL DECISION

concerning access for consultation of the Visa Information System (VIS) by designated authorities of Member States ▐ and by Europol for the purposes of the prevention, detection and investigation of terrorist offences and of other serious criminal offences

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 30(1)(b) and Article 34(2)(c) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),

Whereas:

(1)

Council Decision 2004/512/EC of 8 June 2004 establishing the Visa Information System (VIS) (2) established the VIS as a system for the exchange of visa data between Member States. The establishment of the VIS represents one of the key initiatives within the policies of the European Union aimed at establishing an area of Justice, Freedom and Security. The VIS should have the purpose of improving the implementation of the common visa policy and should also contribute towards internal security and to combating terrorism under clearly defined and monitored circumstances .

(2)

During its meeting of 7 March 2005 the Council adopted conclusions stating that ‘in order to achieve fully the aim of improving internal security and the fight against terrorism’, Member State authorities responsible for internal security should be guaranteed access to the VIS, ‘in the course of their duties in relation to the prevention, detection and investigation of criminal offences, including terrorist acts and threats’, ‘subject to strict compliance with the rules governing the protection of personal data’. (3)

(3)

It is essential in the fight against terrorism and other serious crimes for the relevant services to have the fullest and most up-to-date information in their respective fields. The Member States' competent national services need information if they are to perform their tasks. The information contained in the VIS may be necessary for the purposes of preventing and combating terrorism and serious crimes and should therefore be available , subject to the conditions set out in this Decision, for consultation by the designated authorities ▐ .

(4)

Moreover, the European Council has stated that Europol has a key role with respect to cooperation between Member States' authorities in the field of cross-border crime investigation in supporting Union-wide crime prevention, analyses and investigation. Consequently, Europol should also have access to VIS data within the framework of its tasks and in accordance with the Convention of 26 July 1995 on the Establishment of a European Police Office (4).

(5)

This Decision complements the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the Visa Information System (VIS) and the exchange of data between Member States on short-stay visas 2005/XX/EC (5) (hereinafter referred to as the ‘VIS Regulation’) insofar as it provides for a legal base under Title VI of the Treaty on European Union authorizing the access to the VIS for designated authorities ▐ and by Europol.

(6)

It is necessary to designate the competent Member States' authorities as well as the central access points through which access is done and to keep a list of the operating units within the designated authorities that are authorised to access the VIS ▐ for the specific purposes of the prevention, detection and investigation of terrorist offences and other serious criminal offences as referred to in the Council Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA of 13 June 2002 on the European Arrest Warrant and the surrender procedures between Member States (6). It is essential to ensure that the duly empowered staff with a right to access the VIS is limited to those who ’have a need to know’ and possess appropriate knowledge about data security and data protection rules.

Requests for access to the VIS should be made by the operating units within the designated authorities to the central access points. These central access points should then process the requests to the VIS following a verification whether all conditions for access are fulfilled. In an exceptional case of urgency the central access points shall process the request immediately and only do the verification afterwards.

(7)

For the purposes of protection of personal data, and in particular to exclude routine access, the processing of VIS data should only be on a case-by-case basis. Such a specific case exists in particular when the access for consultation is connected to a specific event or to a danger associated with serious crime, or to (a) specific person(s) in respect of whom there are serious grounds for believing that the person(s) will commit or has (have) committed terrorist offences or other serious criminal offences or that the person(s) has (have) a relevant connection with such (a) person(s). The designated authorities and Europol should thus only search data contained in the VIS when they have reasonable grounds to believe that such a search will provide information that will substantially assist them in preventing, detecting or investigating serious crime.

Once the proposed Framework Decision on the protection of personal data processed in the framework of police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters (7) has entered into force it should apply to the personal data which are processed pursuant to this Decision. However, until the rules set out in the Framework Decision are applicable and in order to supplement them, adequate provisions have to be provided for to ensure the necessary data protection. Each Member should ensure an adequate data protection level in its national law which at least corresponds to that resulting from the Council of Europe Convention of 28 January 1981 for the Protection of Individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data and the corresponding case law pursuant to Article 8 of the ECHR and, for those Member States which have ratified it, the Additional Protocol of 8 November 2001 to that Convention, and shall take into account Recommendation No R (87) 15 of 17 September 1987 of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe Regulating the Use of Personal Data in the Police Sector .

(8)	The effective monitoring of the application of this Decision should be evaluated at regular intervals.

(9)

Since the objectives of the action to be taken, namely the creation of obligations and conditions for access for consultation of VIS data by Member States' designated authorities ▐ and by Europol cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can, therefore, by reason of the scale and effects of the action, be better achieved at the level of the European Union, the Council may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, referred to in Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union and defined in Article 5 of the Treaty establishing the European Community. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, this Decision does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.

(10)

In accordance with Article 47 of the Treaty on the European Union, this ▐ Decision does not affect the competences of the European Community, in particular as exercised in the VIS Regulation and in Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (8).

(11)

This Decision constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis in which the United Kingdom doe s not take part ▐ in accordance with ▐ Council Decision 2000/365/EC of 29 May 2000, concerning the request of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis (9); the United Kingdom is therefore not taking part in its adoption and is not bound by it or subject to its application.

(12)

This Decision constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis in which Ireland does not take part in accordance with Council Decision 2002/192/EC of 28 February 2002 concerning Ireland's request to take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis (10); Ireland is therefore not taking part in its adoption and is not bound by it or subject to its application.

(13)

However, in accordance with Framework Decision 2006/960/JHA (11), information contained in the VIS can be provided to the United Kingdom and Ireland by the competent authorities of the Member States whose designated authorities have access to the VIS pursuant to this Decision and information held in the national visa registers of the United Kingdom and Ireland can be provided to the competent law enforcement authorities of the other Member States. Any form of direct access for central authorities of the United Kingdom and Ireland to the VIS would, under the present state of their participation in the Schengen acquis, require an Agreement between the Community and those Member States, possibly to be supplemented by other rules specifying the conditions and procedures for such access.

(14)

As regards Iceland and Norway, this Decision constitutes , with the exception of Article 7, a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning the association of those two States with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (12), which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point B of Council Decision 1999/437/EC of 17 May 1999 (13) on certain arrangements for the application of that Agreement ▐ .

(15)

As regards Switzerland, this Decision constitutes , with the exception of Article 7, a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement signed by the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation concerning the association of the Swiss Confederation with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point B of Decision 1999/437/EC read in conjunction with Article 4 (1) of the Council Decision 2004/849/EC of 25 October 2004 (14) on the signing, on behalf of the European Union, and on the provisional application of certain provisions of that Agreement.

(15a)

This Decision, save its Article 6, constitutes an act building on the Schengen acquis or otherwise related to it within the meaning of Article 3(2) of the 2003 Act of Accession and Article 4(2) of the 2005 Act of Accession.

(16)	This Decision respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles reflected in particular in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

ANNEX

Council Declaration concerning the Council Framework Decision on the protection of personal data processed in the framework of police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters

The Council recognises the importance of the existence of a comprehensive and coherent set of rules at the level of the European Union concerning the high level of protection of personal data processed in the framework of police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters, as a part of the Union's ever increasing regulatory set of instruments on such cooperation. These rules will constitute an important development of the minimum data protection principles set by the Convention of 28 January 1981 for the protection of individuals with regard to automatic processing of personal data, and in Recommendation (87)15 regulating the use of personal data in the police sector, both adopted in the framework of the Council of Europe.

Therefore, the Council continues to give priority to the examination of the proposal for a Council Framework Decision on the protection of personal data processed in the framework of police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters, and intends to reach a political agreement on the proposal as soon as possible and at the latest by the end of 2007.

Council Declaration concerning the right of access to the VIS by the United Kingdom and Ireland in the Council Decision

The Council recognises that the shared security of Member States will be strengthened by the reciprocal access of the United Kingdom and Ireland to the Visa Information System and emphasizes the importance of the United Kingdom and Ireland access for law enforcement purposes to the Visa Information System. The Council will therefore keep the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland under review, including in relation to relevant jurisprudence and will in the light of the outcome of the Court Decisions adopt such provisions as may be necessary or appropriate to enable the United Kingdom and Ireland to have access to the Visa Information System on the same footing as the other Member States.

Annex (new)

Annex

15 Principles on the protection of personal data processed in the framework of police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters

Principle 1

(Protection of rights and freedoms)

1. Personal data must be processed by ensuring a high level of protection of data subjects' rights, fundamental freedoms and dignity, including the right to personal data protection.

Principle 2

(Minimisation)

1. The use of personal data shall be configured by minimising their processing if the purposes sought can be achieved by using anonymous or non identifying information.

Principle 3

(Transparency)

1. The processing of personal data must be transparent under the terms set out in the law.

2. The type of data and processing operations, the relevant retention period, and the identity of the controller and processor(s) must be specified and made available.

3. The results achieved by means of the various categories of processing performed should be publicised regularly in order to assess whether the processing is further helpful in concrete.

Principle 4

(Legitimacy of processing)

1. Personal data may only be processed if this is provided for by a law setting out that processing by the competent authorities is necessary in order for the said authorities to fulfil their legitimate obligations.

Principle 5

(Data quality)

1. Personal data must be:

—	processed fairly and lawfully;

—	collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a way incompatible with those purposes;

—	adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purposes for which they are collected and/or further processed;

—	accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date;

—	kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the data were collected and/or further processed, in particular where the data are available on line.

2. Personal data must be evaluated taking into account their degree of accuracy or reliability, their source, the categories of data subjects, the purposes for which they are processed and the phase in which they are used. Every reasonable step should be taken to ensure that data which are inaccurate or incomplete are erased or rectified.

3. Data mining and any form of large-scale processing of massive quantities of personal data, in particular where related to non-suspects, including the transfer of such data to a different controller, shall only be permitted if carried out in compliance with the results of an examination performed by a supervisory authority either prior to the start thereof or in the context of preparation of a legislative measure.

4. Personal data must be processed by separating facts and objective evaluations from opinions or personal assessments, and the data related to prevention and prosecution of offences from data lawfully held for administrative purposes.

5. Appropriate checks prior and after an exchange of data must be established.

6. The controller shall take suitable measures in order to facilitate respect for the principles laid down herein, including by means of ad hoc software, as also related to the possible notification of rectification, erasure or blocking to third party recipients.

Principle 6

(Special categories of data)

1. The processing of personal data solely on the basis that they reveal racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs or trade-union membership, and the processing of personal data concerning health or sex life shall be prohibited. The processing of these data may only be carried out if absolutely necessary for the purpose of a particular inquiry.

2. Appropriate safeguards shall be provided for by specific provisions, or on the basis of prior checking, in respect of processing operations that are likely to present specific risks to the rights and freedoms of data subjects, such as in particular the processing of DNA profiles, biometric data, data of nonsuspects and the use of particular surveillance techniques or new technologies.

Principle 7

(Information to be given to the data subject)

1. The data subject shall be informed of the fact that personal data concerning him are being processed, the categories of data concerned, the identity of the controller and/or his representative, if any, the legal basis and the purposes of the processing, the existence of the right to access and rectify the data concerning him, unless the provision of such information proves impossible or incompatible with the purposes of the processing, or involves a disproportionate effort compared to data subject's interests, or where the data subject already has this information.

2. The provision of information to the data subject may be delayed to the extent this is necessary in order not to jeopardize the purposes for which the data were collected and/or further processed.

Principle 8

(Right of access to data and rectification)

1. The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller, without constraint at reasonable intervals and without excessive delay:

a.	confirmation as to whether or not data relating to him are being processed and information at least as to the purposes of the processing, the categories of data concerned and the recipients or categories of recipients to whom data are disclosed,

a.	to rectification or, if appropriate, erasure of data that are processed in breach of these principles, in particular because of the incomplete or inaccurate nature of the data,

b.	to have third parties to whom the data have been disclosed notified of any rectification or erasure carried out in compliance with (a), unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

3. The communication referred to in paragraph 1 may be refused or delayed if such a refusal or delay is necessary to:

a.	protect security and public order or to prevent crime; or

b.	the investigation, detection and prosecution of criminal offences; or

c.	protect the rights and freedoms of third parties.

Principle 9

(Automated individual decisions)

1. Everyone has the right not to be subject to a decision which produces legal effects concerning him or significantly affects him and which is based solely on automated processing of data intended to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to him.

2. Subject to other principles, a person may be subjected to a decision of the kind referred to herein if that decision is authorised by a law which also lays down appropriate measures to safeguard the data subject's legitimate interests.

Principle 10

(Confidentiality and security of processing)

1. The controller and any person acting under the authority of the latter should not disclose or anyhow make available any personal data to which access is necessitated by virtue of their function, unless authorised or required to do so by law.

2. The controller must implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss or unauthorised disclosure, alteration and access or all other unlawful forms of processing. These measures should be of a level appropriate to the risks arising from the processing and the nature of the data to be protected, by also considering the reliability and confidentiality of the data, and must be reviewed periodically.

Principle 11

(Communication of personal data)

1. The communication of data should only be permissible if there exists a legitimate interest for such communication within the framework of the legal powers of the competent authorities.

2. Data communicated in accordance with the principles set forth herein should only be used for the purposes for which they have been disclosed or, if provided for by the law or agreed upon by the competent authorities, where a concrete link exists with an ongoing investigation.

3. Communication to other public bodies or private parties should only be permissible if, in a particular case:

a.	there exists a clear legal obligation or authorisation, or with the authorisation of the supervisory authority, or if

these data are indispensable to the recipient to enable him to fulfil his own lawful task and provided that the aim of the collection or processing to be carried out by the recipient is not incompatible with the original processing, and the legal obligations of the communicating body are not contrary to this.

4. Furthermore, communication to other public bodies is exceptionally permissible if in a particular case:

a.	the communication is undoubtedly in the interest of the data subject and either the data subject has consented or circumstances are such as to allow a clear presumption of such consent, or if

b.	the communication is necessary so as to prevent a serious and imminent danger.

5. Communication of data to third countries or international bodies should be subject to the existence of an appropriate legal framework resulting from an examination performed prior to the start thereof by a supervisory authority or in the context of a legislative measure, providing in particular, that the request for such communication contains clear indications as to the body or person requesting them, the purpose, the proportionality and the security measures of the processing, and the adequate guarantees to ensure a mandatory framework about the use of data. Such guarantees should be assessed in general on the basis of a standard procedure by taking into account all the principles set out in this Annex.

Principle 12

(Notification and prior checking)

1. Member States shall identify the categories of permanent or ad hoc files likely to present specific risks to the rights and freedoms of data subjects, to be notified to a supervisory authority or subject to a prior checking under the conditions and procedures to be specified by domestic law.

Principle 13

(Responsibility)

1. The controller is responsible for ensuring that the provisions set out in these principles are respected, in particular as for any activities performed by and/or committed to processors acting under his instructions.

Principle 14

(Judicial remedies and liability)

1. Every person has the right to a judicial legal remedy for any breach of the rights guaranteed to him by these principles.

2. The data subject has the right to compensation for any damage suffered by him because of the unlawful processing of personal data concerning him.

Principle 15

(Supervision)

1. Observance of the principles of personal data protection should be monitored and enforced by one or more public supervisory authorities. The supervisory authorities should in particular be endowed with powers of investigation and intervention allowing them in particular to instigate, as appropriate, the rectification or erasure of personal data whose processing does not comply with the principles established in this Annex. These authorities shall act in complete independence in exercising the functions entrusted to them.

2. The supervisory authorities shall be consulted when drawing up legislative and administrative measures or regulations relating to the protection of individuals' rights and freedoms with regard to the processing of personal data or otherwise having an impact on them.

3. The supervisory authorities shall be endowed with:

a.	investigative powers, such as powers of access to data forming the subject-matter of processing operations and powers to collect all the information necessary for the performance of their supervisory duties,

effective powers of intervention, such as, for example that of delivering opinions before processing operations are carried out, in accordance with principle 12, and of ordering erasure or destruction of data, of imposing a definitive ban on processing, of warning or admonishing the controller, or that of referring the matter to the Parliament or other political institutions,

c.	the power to engage in legal proceedings where the principles have been violated or to bring these violations to the attention of judicial authorities.

Decisions by the supervisory authorities which give rise to complaints may be appealed against through the courts.

4. Supervisory authorities shall hear and decide on claims lodged by any person, or by an association representing that person, concerning the protection of his rights and freedoms in respect of the processing of personal data. The person concerned shall be informed of the outcome of the claim.

The supervisory authority shall, in particular, hear claims for checks on the lawfulness of data processing lodged by any person when the principle 8.3 is applied. The person shall at any rate be informed that a check has taken place.

5. Supervisory authorities shall draw up a report on their activities at regular intervals. The report shall be made public.

In order better to assist farmers and operators in translating the high quality of their products into higher revenue, the Commission should further investigate the possible introduction of a European quality label.

Amendment 4

RECITAL 8

(8) Producer organisations are the basic elements in the fruit and vegetables regime, the decentralised operation of which they ensure at their level. In the face of ever greater concentration of demand, the grouping of supply through these organisations continues to be an economic necessity in order to strengthen the position of producers in the market. Such grouping must be effected on a voluntary basis and must prove its utility by the scope and efficiency of the services offered by producer organisations to their members.

(8) Producer organisations and interbranch organisations are the basic elements in the fruit and vegetables regime, the decentralised operation of which they ensure at their level. In the face of ever greater concentration of demand, the grouping of supply through these organisations continues to be an economic necessity in order to strengthen the position of producers in the market. However, securing a genuine improvement in the position of producers vis-à-vis retail networks and large processing concerns will require other, political, action to be taken at Community level. Such grouping must be effected on a voluntary basis and must prove its utility by the scope and efficiency of the services offered by producer organisations to their members.

Amendment 5

RECITAL 9

(9) Experience shows that producer organisations are the correct tool for grouping supply. However, the spread of producer organisations in different Member States has been uneven. In order to further improve the attractiveness of producer organisations, provision should be made for more flexibility in their operation wherever possible. Such flexibility should concern in particular the product range of a producer organisation, the extent of direct sales permitted and the extension of rules to non-members as well as permitting the delegation of powers or functions of producer organisations to associations of producer organisations, subject to necessary conditions, and the delegation of functions to subsidiaries.

(9) Experience shows that producer organisations are the correct tool for concentration of supply. However, the spread of producer organisations in different Member States has been uneven. In order to further improve the attractiveness of producer organisations, provision should be made for more flexibility in their operation wherever possible , as well as to prevent their being excessively concentrated in areas where the production and marketing conditions are more homogeneous, which would indirectly lead to overall supply being dispersed . Such flexibility should concern in particular the product range of a producer organisation, the extent of direct sales permitted and the extension of rules to non-members as well as permitting the delegation of powers or functions of producer organisations to associations of producer organisations, subject to conditions available to ensure their efficient operation , and the delegation of functions to subsidiaries.

Amendment 6

RECITAL 11

(11) Producer groups in Member States which have acceded to the Community in 2004 or thereafter and wishing to acquire the status of producer organisations in accordance with this Regulation should be allowed the benefit of a transitional period during which national and Community financial support can be given against certain commitments by the group.

(11) Producer groups in Member States which have acceded to the Community in 2004 or thereafter and wishing to acquire the status of producer organisations in accordance with this Regulation should be allowed , insofar as the degree of concentration of supply is still inadequate, the benefit of a transitional period during which national and Community financial support can be given against certain commitments by the group.

Amendment 7

RECITAL 13

(13) In regions where the organisation of production is weak, the grant of additional, national, financial contributions should be allowed. In the case of Member States which are at a particular disadvantage with regard to structures, those contributions should be reimbursable by the Community.

Amendment 8

RECITAL 14

(14) In order to simplify and reduce the cost of the scheme it could be helpful to align, where possible, the procedures and rules for the eligibility of expenditure under operational funds with those of rural development programmes by permitting Member States to establish a national strategy for operational programmes. In this national strategy, as well as in the national strategic plan and in the rural development programmes, the measures adopted by the Member States to prevent the dual financing of the measures should be specified. In addition, in the interests of greater legal certainty and of making the operational fund measures more effective, Member States should be allowed to draw up negative lists of eligibility.

Amendment 9

RECITAL 16

(16) A number of heterogeneous aid schemes for certain fruit and vegetables have been set out in Regulations (EC) No 2200/96, (EC) No 2201/96 and (EC) No 2202/96. The number and variety of those schemes have made them complex to administer. Whilst they have been targeted at some specific fruits and vegetables, they have not been able to fully take into account regional conditions of production, and have not covered all fruit and vegetables. It is therefore appropriate to seek a different tool for supporting fruit and vegetable producers.

(16) A number of heterogeneous aid schemes for certain fruit and vegetables have been set out in Regulations (EC) No 2200/96, (EC) No 2201/96 and (EC) No 2202/96. The number and variety of those schemes have made them complex to administer and may create legal uncertainty . Whilst they have been targeted at some specific fruits and vegetables, they have not been able to fully take into account the species brought in by the new Member States or the regional conditions of production, and have not covered all fruit and vegetables.It is therefore appropriate to seek a different tool for supporting fruit and vegetable producers.

Amendment 10

RECITAL 18

(18) In the interests of a more targeted but flexible system of support for the fruit and vegetables sector and in the interests of simplification, it is therefore appropriate to abolish the existing aid schemes and include fruit and vegetables fully into the scheme established by Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003. To this end it is necessary to provide that farmers who produced fruit and vegetables in the reference period should be eligible for the single payment scheme. Provision should also be made for the establishment by Member States of reference amounts and eligible hectares under the single payment scheme on the basis of a representative period appropriate to the market of each fruit and vegetable product and of appropriate objective and non-discriminatory criteria. Areas planted with fruit and vegetables, including permanent fruits and vegetables should be eligible to the single payment scheme. National ceilings should be amended appropriately. Provision should also be made for the Commission to adopt detailed rules and any necessary transitional measures.

(18) In the interests of a more targeted but flexible system of support for the fruit and vegetables sector and in the interests of simplification, it is therefore appropriate to abolish the existing aid schemes and include fruit and vegetables at least partially into the scheme established by Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003. To this end it is necessary to provide that farmers who produced fruit and vegetables in the reference period should be eligible for the single payment scheme and to set national envelopes on the basis of a representative period appropriate to the market of each fruit and vegetable product and of appropriate objective and non-discriminatory criteria. Areas planted with fruit and vegetables, including permanent fruits and vegetables should be eligible to the single payment scheme. National ceilings should be amended appropriately , with reference to the new fruit and vegetable market situation resulting from the accession of the new Member States . Provision should also be made for the Commission to adopt detailed rules and any necessary transitional measures.

Amendment 11

RECITAL 18A (new)

(18a) Areas planted with fruit and vegetables should be excluded from the single payment scheme, in order to ensure that they cannot be destined for any other agricultural activity, until their potential effects on structures and on fruit and vegetable markets are known, thereby respecting the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Communities (2) which demands the submission of detailed impact studies to justify substantial legislative changes. The report that the Commission is to submit to the Council on the regional application of the single payment scheme, referred to in Article 60(8) of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, should, on the one hand, analyse the impact of the scheme on areas planted with fruit and vegetables that already enjoy freedom of production and, on the other, incorporate a specific analysis of the potential effects of the liberalisation on the whole sector of fruit and vegetables and potatoes in the Community.

Amendment 12

RECITAL 18B (new)

(18b) Because of the enlargement of 2004, cherries and berries (strawberries, raspberries and redcurrants) have become products of great social and economic importance for the Union, but they are nevertheless undergoing a great structural crisis and require specific support measures. Area-based Community aid is therefore provided for these crops under conditions that ensure the viability of holdings and promote structural improvement, in particular concentration of supply.

Amendment 13

RECITAL 19

(19) The production of fruit and vegetables is unpredictable and the products are perishable. Surplus on the market, even if it is not too great, can strongly disturb the market. Some schemes for market withdrawals have been operated but have proved somewhat complex to administer and inefficient. The fruit and vegetable sector is characterised by market instability, and in the event of price collapses the current system of market withdrawals is of limited effectiveness as a safety net for farmers' incomes, owing to insufficient payments, excessive bureaucracy, shortcomings in organisation in the production regions, failure to recognise the production potential in order to ensure correct market management, the effect of imports from third countries and the lack of genuine outlets for the products withdrawn. More effective, horizontal measures for crisis management , applicable to all farmers from all market sectors, should be introduced, in a manner as easy to apply as possible. Integration of all such measures into a security fund financed separately from the operational programmes of producer organisations appears the best approach in these circumstances, and should also provide for increased attractiveness of producer organisations for producers. The Member States are allowed to devise management measures to tackle serious national and/or regional crises. Those measures should be defined in the context of the national strategy and, if the Member States deem it appropriate, should be financed by part of the national reserve of payment entitlements referred to in Article 42 of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003.

Amendment 14

RECITAL 19A (new)

(19a) In common organisations of the market which are very open to markets, such as that for fruit and vegetables, interbranch organisations play an extremely important part in initial marketing and in the quality of products. They make it possible not only to improve the competitiveness of the sector but also to combat market fluctuations. Their functioning therefore considerably limits major market disruptions and protects producers against crises.

Amendment 15

RECITAL 20A (new)

(20a) In the event of a substantial change to the existing system, the areas earmarked for production of cultivated mushrooms may be eligible for the single payment system provided for by Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003.

Amendment 16

RECITAL 20B (new)

(20b) Average consumption of fruit and vegetables is still below the levels recommended by the World Health Organization and nutrition experts for their importance in achieving a balanced diet and their substantial role in the prevention of chronic illnesses. In some Member States, moreover, consumption is gradually falling. In order to counter this trend the role and resources of producer organisations as regards promotion should be stepped up and funding should be increased for the information campaigns and measures to promote the consumption of fruit and vegetables referred to in Regulation (EC) No 2826/2000 for all sections of the population, especially the under-18s. In addition, it would be appropriate to improve the conditions for free distribution of fruit and vegetables within the EU and, as far as possible, also in third countries near the Community.

Amendment 17

RECITAL 23

(23) The creation of a single Community market involves the introduction of a trading system at the external borders of the Community. That trading system should include import duties and should, in principle, stabilise the Community market. The trading system should be based on the undertakings accepted under the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, which should entail the elimination of the export refunds granted to the sector in the past and the reconversion of the amounts allocated to this into internal measures compatible with the multilateral framework. In addition, it is necessary to step up information and promotion measures on fruit and vegetable products in third countries in the context of Council Regulation (EC) No 2702/1999 of 14 December 1999 on measures to provide information on, and to promote, agricultural products in third countries (3). The Commission shall submit the relevant proposals for the revision of the Regulation.

Amendment 18

RECITAL 25

(25) Monitoring the volume in trade in agricultural products with third countries may, in respect of certain products, require the introduction of licensing systems for imports and exports including the lodging of a security to ensure that the transactions for which such licences are issued are actually carried out. The Commission should, therefore, be empowered to introduce licensing systems in respect of such products. In order to protect consumer health and prevent the pollution of crops by alien harmful organisms, it is necessary to complement the certification systems with new provisions, different from those of the present Regulation, with a view to strengthening the plant health control and quality systems at the borders. In this connection, it would be desirable to create a European quality control agency for fruit and vegetable products from third countries, under the supervision of the European Food Safety Agency.

Amendment 19

RECITAL 28A (new)

(28a) The process of coordinating, at Community level, the negotiation of plant health protocols with third countries for the export of fruit and vegetables should be supported.

Amendment 21

RECITAL 30

(30) Since the common markets in agricultural products are continuously evolving , the Member States and the Commission should keep each other informed of relevant developments.

(30) The dynamism of the fruit and vegetable sector, subject to structural changes in production or commerce that alter the operation of markets, requires that the Member States and the Commission should keep each other informed of the most relevant developments ascertained. It would also be appropriate to establish a price observatory capable of providing detailed and objective information on markets and thus facilitate the triggering of action by the Commission in the event of serious crises. In addition, progress should be made in creating a European authority to ensure the transparency of commercial transactions and strict compliance with the rules on competition, in particular by large-scale retailers.

Amendment 22

RECITAL 31

(31) The fruit and vegetables regime provides for certain obligations to be respected. To guarantee compliance with these obligations, there is a need for controls and the application of penalties in case of non-compliance with such obligations. The power should, therefore, be conferred on the Commission to set up the corresponding rules including those concerning the recovery of undue payments and on the reporting obligations of the Member States. The special corps of inspectors in the fruit and vegetable sector will no longer be necessary under the new regime and may be abolished.

Regional Strategy Papers and Regional Indicative Programmes for Mercosur and Latin America

European Parliament resolution of 7 June 2007 on the draft Commission decision establishing Regional Strategy Papers and Regional Indicative Programmes for Mercosur and Latin America

The European Parliament,

—	having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation (1),

—	having regard to the draft Commission decisions establishing Regional Strategy Papers and Regional Indicative Programmes for Mercosur and Latin America (CMT-2007-0566, CMT-2007-0859),

—	having regard to the opinions delivered on 15 May 2007 by the committee referred to in Article 35(1) of the above Regulation (hereinafter referred to as ‘the DCI management committee’),

—	having regard to Article 8 of Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (2),

—	having regard to Rule 81 of its Rules of Procedure,

A.	whereas on 15 May 2007 the DCI management committee voted in favour of the draft Regional Strategy Papers and Regional Indicative Programmes for Mercosur and Latin America (CMT-2007-0566, CMT-2007-0859),

whereas, pursuant to Article 7(3) of Decision 1999/468/EC and Article 1 of the Agreement (3) between the European Parliament and the Commission on procedures for implementing Council Decision 1999/468/EC, Parliament received the draft implementing measures submitted to the DCI management committee and the results of the voting,

C.	whereas Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 provides that ‘the primary and overarching objective of cooperation under this Regulation shall be the eradication of poverty in partner countries and regions in the context of sustainable development’,

whereas Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 provides that ‘measures referred to in Article 1(1) (4) shall be designed so as to fulfil the criteria for Official Development Assistance (ODA) established by [the Development Assistance Committee of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development,] OECD/DAC’,

whereas, in its ‘Reporting Directives for the Creditor Reporting System’ (DCD/DAC (2002)21), the OECD/DAC defines ODA as financial flows to countries on the DAC List of ODA Recipients for which, inter alia, ‘each transaction is administered with the promotion of the economic development and welfare of developing countries as its main objective’ (5),

whereas Article 19(3) and (8) of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 respectively provide that ‘strategy papers shall, in principle, be based on a dialogue with the partner country or region which involves civil society and regional and local authorities’ and that ‘the Commission and the Member States shall consult each other, as well as other donors and development actors including representatives of civil society and regional and local authorities, at an early stage of the programming process in order to promote complementarity among their cooperation activities’,

Latin America

Takes the view that in its draft Regional Strategy Paper and draft Regional Indicative Programme (2007-2010) for Latin America the Commission exceeds its implementing powers laid down in the basic act by selecting as a subsector to its Focal Sector 3 ‘support for projects by organisations working to promote mutual understanding between the EU and Latin America’, and by including the specific objective of ‘support ... targeted on projects and measures targeting development issues by organisations specialising in the promotion and analysis of relations between the EU and Latin America’; considers that this element does not comply with Article 2(1) and (4) of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006, as the primary objective of this subsector of the Regional Strategy Paper is not the eradication of poverty and as this element does not fulfil the criteria for ODA established by the OECD/DAC;

Mercosur

Takes the view that in its draft Regional Strategy Paper and draft Regional Indicative Programme (2007-2013) for Mercosur the Commission exceeds its implementing powers laid down in the basic act by including in priority 3 ‘efforts to strengthen and enhance civil society participation, knowledge of the regional integration process, mutual understanding and mutual visibility’ (for which it earmarks about 20 % of the Regional Indicative Programme funding) as the following elements of priority 3do not comply with Article 2(1) and (4) of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006, as their primary objective is not the eradication of poverty and as they do not fulfil the criteria for ODA established by the OECD/DAC:

—

in the area ‘strengthening of Mercosur's cinematographic and audiovisual sector to promote regional integration’, the Commission proposes to support a successful industry with the general objective ‘to enhance knowledge and consciousness of regional identity and the integration process through support for the cinematographic and audiovisual sector’;

—

in the area ‘creation of 10 EU-Mercosur study centres and support for the implementation of the Plan operativo del sector educativo del Mercosur 2006-2010’, the general objective is described as ‘to enhance knowledge and consciousness of the regional integration process’; one of the specific objectives is ‘to support the creation of ten EU-Mercosur study centres in major Mercosur universities’; in particular, the initiative to create European/Mercosur documentation centres, to establish EU and Mercosur Study Chairs, and to create Masters' degrees in EU and Mercosur Studies is aimed at the target population of the well-educated elite of the Mercosur countries, and since this is the region with the world's highest social inequality index the planned actions would widen the gap between rich and poor rather than support the poorer strata of the population;

* *

3.	Calls on the Commission to withdraw its draft decisions establishing Regional Strategy Papers and Regional Indicative Programmes for Latin America and Mercosur, and submit to the DCI management committee new draft decisions fully respecting the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006;

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

Roadmap for the European Union's constitutional process

European Parliament resolution of 7 June 2007 on the roadmap for the Union's Constitutional Process (2007/2087(INI))

The European Parliament,

—	having regard to the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe signed in Rome on 29 October 2004 (the Constitutional Treaty),

—	having regard to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Community as amended by the Single European Act and the Maastricht, Amsterdam and Nice Treaties,

—	having regard to the Laeken Declaration on the Future of the European Union of 15 December 2001 (1),

—

having regard to the Treaty concerning the accession to the European Union of the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, theRepublic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia and the Slovak Republic (2) and to the Treaty concerning the accession of the Republic of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union (3),

—	having regard to its resolution of 12 January 2005 on the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe (4),

—	having regard to its resolution of 19 January 2006 on the period of reflection: the structure, subjects and context for an assessment of the debate on the European Union (5),

—	having regard to its resolution of 14 June 2006 on the next steps for the period of reflection and analysis on the Future of Europe (6),

—	having regard to its resolution of 13 December 2006 on the institutional aspects of the European Union's capacity to integrate new Member States (7),

—	having regard to the conclusions of the European Council of 16-17 June 2005, 15-16 June 2006, 14-15 December 2006,

—	having regard to the statement of the President of the European Council to Parliament on 17 January 2007,

—	having regard to the resolution of 14 March 2007 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Treaties of Rome adopted by the European Economic and Social Committee,

—	having regard to the declaration for Europe adopted by the Committee of the Regions in its session of the 23 March 2007,

—	having regard to the Berlin Declaration on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the signature of the Treaties of Rome of 25 March 2007,

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

—	having regard to the report of the Committee on Constitutional Affairs (A6-0197/2007),

whereas the European Union, as the first successful experience of supranational democracy by States and citizens, faces new and unprecedented challenges which, together with the transformations it has been through in its successive enlargements, the development of the internal market and globalisation, call for the revision of its foundations,

whereas the Constitutional Treaty was signed by the Heads of State or Government of the 27 Member States of the European Union, who thereby committed themselves to bringing about appropriate solutions in order to meet the challenges that the European Union faces, both internally and externally, as well as the challenges of enlargement, through enhancing the political dimension of the European Union,

whereas the Constitutional Treaty, especially Parts I, II, and IV, was drawn up in accordance with the Convention method, bringing together representatives of Member States and acceding countries, of the Commission and of the European and national Parliaments whose members constituted a majority, thus strengthening its legitimacy,

whereas part III of the Constitutional Treaty is mainly a codification of the current Treaties, to which the Convention introduced some adaptations and improvements, in particular the extension of the legal bases for codecision in the legislative procedure from the current 37 to 86, which must be preserved in order to improve democracy, transparency and efficiency,

whereas 18 Member States, representing two thirds of the total number of Member States and the majority of the population of the European Union, have to date ratified the Constitutional Treaty in accordance with their respective constitutional requirements, including by way of referendum in Spain and Luxembourg while another four Member States have declared their readiness to proceed with ratification,

F.	whereas France and the Netherlands have not been able to bring that process to a successful conclusion following the negative result of the referendums organised in those two countries,

whereas the public debate launched by the ratification procedure of the Constitutional Treaty showed that the difficulties lie, not so much in its institutional innovations as in some specific aspects of concrete policies, and that criticism has been directed mainly at Part III, which concerns policies and the functioning of the European Union, although Part III mainly contains provisions that are already in force,

H.	whereas many of the misgivings expressed related to the context, rather than the content; and whereas issues of major public concern, such as the Directive on services in the internal market (8), and the financial framework, have since been resolved,

whereas the European Council of 16-17 June 2005 decided to open a period of reflection following the referendums in France and the Netherlands, during which period six more Member States completed their ratifications, and the European Council of 15-16 June 2006 asked the Presidency to explore possible future ways of overcoming the constitutional crisis in anticipation of its meeting of 21-22 June 2007,

whereas the public debate launched during the reflection period has sufficiently established that the problems and challenges facing the European Union, first outlined in the Declaration of Laeken, and which the Constitutional Treaty sought to address, have not disappeared; on the contrary, they have become more evident and their resolution ever more pressing,

whereas the Parliamentary Meetings jointly organised by the European Parliament and the national parliaments have shown a general recognition that the Constitutional Treaty would provide the European Union with an appropriate framework to meet the challenges that it faces, as well as the realisation that it would be difficult, if not impossible, for a new IGC to agree proposals that were either radically different or superior to those agreed in 2004,

whereas there is an increasingly urgent need to equip the enlarged European Union with instruments and means enabling it to function efficiently, to assert its role in the world and to meet the concerns of its citizens in the face of the challenges presented by, inter alia, globalisation, climate change, security of energy supply and an ageing population,

M.	whereas the abovementioned Berlin Declaration of 25 March 2007 signed by the Presidents of the European Council, Parliament and the Commission, laid down the objective of ‘placing the European Union on a renewed common basis before the European Parliament elections in 2009’,

Reaffirms its endorsement of the content of the Constitutional Treaty, the aim of which is, as a decisive step, to formally give the European Union its inherent political dimension, and strengthens the efficiency of its action, enhances democratic control over its decision-making procedures, improves transparency and strengthens the rights of European Union citizens while representing a compromise, and which meets the needs of the European Union in its current stage;

Emphasises that two thirds of the Member States have already ratified the Constitutional Treaty and that four others have clearly expressed their commitment to the provisions it contains, as demonstrated by the recent meeting held in Madrid at the initiative of the governments of Spain and Luxembourg;

3.	Notes the concerns expressed by the people of France and of the Netherlands and the debate which has taken place in both of those countries;

4.	Notes that concerns have been raised in some other Member States too, but that the governments concerned have expressed their support for finding a satisfactory solution that preserves the key reforms contained in the Constitutional Treaty;

5.	Recalls the political responsibility of those Member States who have signed but not ratified the Constitutional Treaty;

6.	Reaffirms its commitment to achieving a settlement of the ongoing constitutional process of the European Union that is based on the content of the Constitutional Treaty, possibly under a different presentation, but takes into account the difficulties that have arisen in some Member States;

Supports, in light of this, the efforts of the German Presidency to obtain from the European Council of June 2007 a commitment to calling an Intergovernmental Conference (IGC), and the definition of a roadmap containing a procedure, a clear mandate and the objective of reaching an agreement before the end of this year;

Recalls the need to guarantee the decision-making capacity of the European Union, the effectiveness of its policies, and their full democratic legitimacy, towards which the Constitutional Treaty makes undeniable progress in terms of scrutiny, legislative and budgetary procedures, as well as the need to strengthen the Common Foreign and Security Policy and the role of the European Union in the world in order to allow it to influence the definition and the implementation of the responses to the pressing challenges which humanity is facing;

Insists on the preservation of all basic principles as contained in Part I of the Constitutional Treaty, including the dual nature of the European Union as a union of States and of citizens, the primacy of the European law, the new typology of acts and procedures, the hierarchy of norms, and the legal personality of the European Union;stresses that the Constitutional Treaty also brings about other important improvements in matters such as consolidation of the existing Treaties and the merging of pillars, the express recognition of the values on which the European Union is based and of the legally binding force of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, as well as enhancing the participation of citizens in the political life of the European Union, clarification of the respective competencies of the European Union and of the Member States, respect for the principle of subsidiarity and the specific role of national parliaments in this matter, without jeopardising the institutional balance of the European Union, as enshrined in the protocol on subsidiarity, and respect for the role of regional and local authorities;

10.	Stresses that any proposal for modification of the Constitutional Treaty needs to secure the same level of support as was obtained at an earlier date by the provision it seeks to replace;

11.

States that it will reject any outcome of the negotiations which, if compared with the Constitutional Treaty, would lead to a diminution of the protection of the rights of citizens (insists, in particular, on maintaining the Charter of Fundamental Rights, especially its legally binding force) as well as to less democracy, transparency and efficiency in the functioning of the Union;

12.

Recognises, in this context, the need to take into account major issues that have been raised during the reflection period and the insight that the abovementioned issues can be properly addressed only by a stronger rather than a weaker Europe, and to clarify other issues that have already been addressed in the Constitutional Treaty, such as:

—	sustainable development, in particular the struggle against climate change,

—	European solidarity in the field of energy,

—	a coherent migration policy,

—	the European Social Model in the context of demographic change and globalisation,

—	terrorism,

—	the dialogue between civilisations,

—	effective common mechanisms for the coordination of economic policies in the euro-zone, while safeguarding the role of the European Central Bank in monetary policy in accordance with the Treaties,

—	the Union's criteria and procedures for enlargement;

13.	Believes that, in view of the success of the Convention method in preparing the draft Treaty, it is necessary to retain, in any solution to the constitutional process, the basic principles of parliamentary participation, association of civil society and full transparency;

14.	Recalls that Parliament, as the only institution of the European Union directly elected by the citizens, must be fully involved in the IGC at all levels, and to a greater extent than during the 2003-2004 IGC;

15.

Calls, furthermore, for the setting up, in parallel with the active participation of the representatives of the European Parliament in the IGC, of an interinstitutional conference, in order to keep the European Parliament informed and to bring an important contribution to building a cross-party and transnational consensus in the IGC;

16.	Reiterates its commitment to the Convention mechanism should the Heads of State or Government decide to embark on a substantial revision of the existing texts;

17.	Calls on the Commission to fully play its role in the upcoming negotiations and to prepare proposals for adapting the Constitutional Treaty with respect to the topics set out in paragraph 12;

18.

Emphasises the importance of dialogue between national parliaments and their respective governments through the IGC and expresses its willingness to maintain close contact with the national parliaments during the forthcoming negotiation phase, as well as with the Committee of the Regions and the European Economic and Social Committee, with the European Social Partners, with religious communities and with civil society;

19.	Calls for the conclusion of the ratification process of the new Treaty by the end of 2008, in order to allow the next Parliament, which will be elected in 2009, to start its mandate under the provisions of the new Treaty;

20.	Demands that all Member States coordinate their ratification procedures, in order to allow for the ratification process to be completed simultaneously;

21.	Intends to deliver an opinion on the convening of the IGC in accordance with Article 48 of the Treaty on European Union, in light of the criteria set out in this resolution;

22.	Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the members of the European Council, the Council, the Commission, the national parliaments of the Member States, the Committee of the Regions and the European Economic and Social Committee.

United Nations Human Rights Council

European Parliament resolution of 7 June 2007 on the fifth session of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC)

The European Parliament,

—

having regard to its previous resolutions on the United Nations Commission on Human Rights since 1996, in particular its resolution on the outcome of the negotiations on the Human Rights Council and on the 62nd session of the UNCHR of 16 March 2006 (1), as well as those of 29 January 2004 on the relations between the European Union and the United Nations (2), of 9 June 2005 on the reform of the United Nations (3), of 29 September 2005 on the outcome of the United Nations World Summit of 14-16 September 2005 (4)and of 26 April 2007 on the Annual Report on Human Rights in the World 2006 and the EU's policy on the matter (5),

—	having regard to its urgent resolutions on human rights and democracy,

—	having regard to United Nations General Assembly Resolution A/RES/60/251 establishing the Human Rights Council (UNHRC),

—	having regard to the previous sessions of the UNHRC,

—	having regard to the forthcoming fifth session of the UNHRC,

—	having regard to the outcome of the work of the UNHRC's working groups on the complaints procedure, the Universal Periodic Review (UPR), the future system of expert advice, the agenda, the annual programme of work, working methods, the rules of procedure and the review of Special Procedures,

—	having regard to the results of the elections to the UNHRC held on 17 May 2007,

—	having regard to Rule 103(2) of its Rules of Procedure,

A.	whereas respect for, and the promotion and safeguarding of, the universality of human rights is part of the European Union's ethical and legal acquis and one of the cornerstones of European unity and integrity,

B.	whereas the United Nations potentially constitutes, now as in the past, one of the most appropriate organisations to deal comprehensively with the human rights issues and challenges facing mankind today,

C.	whereas the UNHRC could provide an effective platform for strengthening human rights protection and promotion within the UN framework,

D.	whereas the fifth session of the UNHRC will be a crucial one in this respect, as it will complete the review of mechanisms and mandates and develop the modalities of the UPR,

E.	whereas the credibility of the UNHRC rests on the adoption of these reforms and mechanisms in a way which will strengthen its ability to address human rights violations around the world,

F.	whereas an ad hoc European Parliament delegation has been established for the fifth session of the UNHRC, as in the previous year and, before that, for the UNHRC's predecessor, the UN Commission on Human Rights,

1.	Takes note of the results of the first year of the UNHRC's work; welcomes the ambitious programme the UNHRC set itself, which included the review of its procedures and working methods, in particular the development and implementation of the UPR and the review of Special Procedures;

2.	Welcomes the organisation of special sessions to respond to urgent crises; is concerned, however, at the failure of the UNHRC to take action to address many of the world's most urgent human rights situations;

Regrets in particular the weakness of the UNHRC resolution on Darfur, as well as the decision taken under the confidential procedure to discontinue consideration of complaints of human rights abuses by Iran and Uzbekistan under the ‘1503’ procedure; notes that the confidentiality of the ‘1503’ procedure has not triggered delivery of the expected results in terms of better cooperation from the authorities concerned; asks for the introduction of more transparent procedures;

4.	Welcomes the signing of the Convention for the Protection of all Persons from Enforced Disappearance, just one year after its adoption by the UN General Assembly; calls on all UN States to ratify the convention and reaffirms its strong support for the signature and ratification campaign;

5.	Notes the results of the UN General Assembly election on 17 May 2007 of 14 new members of the UNHRC;

6.	Welcomes, in view of the condemnation of Belarus four months earlier by the UN General Assembly for human rights abuses and its lack of cooperation with Special Procedures, the fact that Belarus has not been elected to the UNHRC;

7.	Calls for competitive elections to be held in all regions in order to provide real choice among UN Member States; regrets that some countries with problematic human rights records have been elected, owing to slates having been wiped clean;

8.	Reaffirms the need for UNHRC members to comply with their obligation to cooperate fully with Special Procedures so as to highlight their role in preserving the universality of human rights;

9.	Encourages the EU to continue to press for the establishment of membership criteria for election to the UNHRC, as well as for monitoring of the actual implementation of the UN Member States' election pledges;

10.

Stresses that the credibility and effectiveness of the UNHRC in the protection of human rights rests on cooperation with Special Procedures and their full implementation, as well as on the adoption of reforms and mechanisms in such a way as to strengthen its ability to address human rights violations around the world;

The review of procedures and mechanisms

11.	Regards the UPR mechanism as a potential means of improving the universality of the monitoring of human rights commitments and practices throughout the world by subjecting all UN Member States to equal treatment and scrutiny;

12.	Stresses that this objective can be achieved only if the review involves independent expertise at all stages of the review process and an effective, result-oriented follow-up mechanism; expresses its deep concern at the current trend with regard to this issue;

13.	Calls, therefore, on all UN Member States to ensure that the review is based on objective and reliable information, as well as on common standards for review such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other obligations and commitments, including election pledges;

14.	Calls for the inclusion in the review process of provisions for follow-up, requiring reviewed States to report back to the UNHRC on the implementation of the recommendations;

15.	Underlines the importance of the transparency of the process to all participants and stakeholders, as well as of effective participation by NGOs throughout this process;

16.	Stresses that Special Procedures are at the core of the UN human rights machinery, playing a critical role in the protection and promotion of human rights;

17.

Consequently, urges all UN Member States to preserve the independence of these Special Procedures from political influence by governments and to ensure that the recommendations resulting from their interventions, and from the findings made in the course of such interventions, are maintained as an essential element in the quality of the expertise;

18.	Is greatly concerned in this connection by the draft Code of Conduct on Special Procedures presented on behalf of the African Group, which considerably weakens the mechanisms and their protective capacity;

19.	Underlines that, should a Code of Conduct be adopted, it should be limited to professional ethics and principles of mandate holders and should specify the obligations of States to cooperate with the Special Procedures, namely by respecting their independence and facilitating their work;

20.	Calls for continuous support for Special Procedures in terms of finance and staff;

21.

Stresses that the review of mandates of Special Procedures should be carried out in consultation with various mandate holders in order to avoid weakening the protective capacity of the system of procedures; stresses in particular that the UPR, together with special sessions, should be an additional mechanism for addressing human rights abuses and should not replace Special Procedures with country mandates;

22.	Notes that the agenda of the UNHRC should combine predictability and flexibility in order to address emerging human rights crises;

EU involvement

23.	Recognises the active involvement of the EU and its Member States in the first year of work of the UNHRC and looks forward to a successful Presidency of the UNHRC by Romania;

24.

Calls on the EU to reaffirm and consolidate its firm position regarding the concerns raised above, especially regarding the UPR and the review of Special Procedures, which are crucial for the effective future functioning of the UNHRC; calls on the EU to reject any compromise that would put at risk the capacity of the UNHRC fully to play its role of protecting and promoting human rights throughout the world;

25.	Once again calls on the EU to make more effective use of its aid and political support for third countries, so as to give them an incentive to cooperate with the UNHRC;

26.	Considers that the EU Member States should act coherently and in a coordinated way in order to contribute to the success of the UNHRC;

27.	Looks forward to receiving the studies commissioned by the Subcommittee on Human Rights concerning the human rights records of the members of the UNHRC and the effectiveness of the role played by the EU Member States in the UNHRC;

28.

Calls on the countries which have entered into agreements with the EU that include human rights clauses to cooperate with the EU in increasing the UNHRC's potential to enhance human rights around the world; calls on the European Parliament's interparliamentary delegations and assemblies to examine this aspect at their meetings;

29.

Mandates the European Parliament delegation to the fifth session of the UNHRC to voice the concerns expressed in this resolution, calls on the delegation to report to the Subcommittee on Human Rights on its visit, and considers it appropriate to continue sending a European Parliament delegation to relevant sessions of the UNHRC;

* *

30.

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and the Commission, the governments and parliaments of the Member States, the UN Security Council, the UN Secretary-General, the President of the 61st UN General Assembly, the President of the UN Human Rights Council, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and the EU-UN working group established by the Committee on Foreign Affairs.

E.	whereas flexibility and mobility are indissociable in the context of professional artistic activity,

Improving the situation of artists in Europe

Contracts

Calls on the Member States to develop or implement a legal and institutional framework for creative artistic activity through the adoption or application of a number of coherent and comprehensive measures in respect of contracts, social security, sickness insurance, direct and indirect taxation and compliance with European rules;

2.	Stresses the need to take account of the atypical nature of an artist's working methods;

3.	Stresses, in addition, the need to take into consideration the atypical and precarious nature of all professions relating to the performing arts;

4.	Encourages the Member States to introduce contracts for the provision of training or qualifications in artistic professions;

5.	Recommends, accordingly, that Member States encourage the recognition of professional experience acquired by artists;

Protection for artists

Calls on the Commission and the Member States, after consultation with the arts sector, to introduce a Europass-type ‘European professional register’ of artists, containing details regarding their status and the nature and successive duration of their contracts and details concerning their employers or the service providers recruiting them;

7.	Encourages Member States to coordinate more effectively and improve the exchange of good practice and information;

8.	Urges the Commission, in cooperation with the sector, to draw up a comprehensible standard practical handbook for European artists and the authorities dealing with them, containing information on all current sickness insurance, unemployment and pension provisions at national and European levels;

Calls on the Commission and Member States, on the basis of the applicable bilateral agreements, to consider possible measures to ensure the transfer of pension and welfare entitlements acquired by artists from third countries when they return to their countries of origin and to ensure that work experience gained in a Member State is taken into account;

10.	Urges the Commission to launch a pilot project introducing, on an experimental basis, a European electronic social security card specifically intended for European artists;

11.	Takes the view that such a card, containing all relevant information concerning the artist, would resolve a number of problems inherent to his profession;

12.	Stresses the need to distinguish between mobility specifically relating to artists and that relating to workers in general in the EU;

13.	In this respect, calls on the Commission to assess what progress has been made regarding mobility in this specific area;

14.	Calls on the Commission formally to identify the areas of cultural activity facing the greatest risk of creativity drain and talent loss, and urges the Member States to provide incentives for their artists to remain within or return to a Member State;

15.

Moreover, calls on the Member States to give particular attention to the recognition at Community level of diplomas and other qualifications issued by all European conservatoires, arts academies and other official schools for the performing arts enabling their holders to work and study in all Member States, in accordance with the Bologna Process; in this connection urges the Member States to promote formal arts studies providing high-quality personal and vocational training enabling students to develop their artistic talents and at the same time a good general education opening up prospects in other professional fields; stresses also the importance of proposing measures at European level to facilitate the recognition in the European Union of diplomas and other qualifications issued by national conservatoires and arts academies in third countries so as to facilitate the mobility of artists seeking to enter a Member State;

16.	Calls on the Commission to adopt a European charter concerning artistic creation and the conditions for engaging therein, on the basis of an initiative such as that adopted by Unesco, so as to reaffirm the importance of professional artistic activity and facilitate European integration;

18.

Calls on the Member States, which have not already done so, to organise effectively, in accordance with Directive 2006/115/EC and Directive 2001/29/EC, the payment of all equitable compensation in respect of reproduction rights and equitable remuneration owing to holders of copyrights and associated rights;

19.

Urges the Commission to carry out a survey analysing measures by the Member States to effectively ensure that holders of copyrights and associated rights receive equitable compensation owing for the legal exceptions applied by the Member States in accordance with Directive 2001/29/EC and for the legal exploitation of their rights under Directive 2006/115/EC;

20.

Urges the Commission to carry out a survey analysing measures by the Member States to earmark some of the revenue generated by the payment of equitable compensation owing to the holders of copyrights and associated rights as aid towards creative activity and the social and financial protection of artists and to analyse the legal instruments and tools which could be used to provide funding for the protection of living European artists;

21.	Believes that it would be appropriate for Member States to consider possibly providing artists with assistance over and above what they currently receive, providing for a levy on the commercial exploitation of original works and their performance free of copyright;

Visas: mobility and employment of third-country nationals

22.	Stresses the need to take account of the difficulties currently being encountered by a number of European and third-country artists as a result of visa requirements with a view to obtaining work permits and the attendant uncertainties;

23.	Points out that artists with short-term employment contracts currently find it difficult to fulfil the conditions for obtaining visas and work permits;

24.

Calls on the Commission to reflect on current visa and work permit arrangements applicable to artists and to begin drawing up Community rules in this area which could lead to the introduction of a specific temporary visa for European and third-country artists, such as that which already exists in some Member States;

Lifelong training and retraining

25.	Calls on the Member States to create specialised training structures for those working in the cultural sector with a view to developing a genuine employment policy in this area;

26.	Calls on the Commission to gather all existing research and publications, and to make a survey evaluating the current situation regarding provision in the EU for work-related illnesses which are specific to artistic activities, such as arthritis;

27.	Recalls that all artists are permanently involved in their activity which is not limited to the time taken by their artistic renditions or performances;

28.

Observes, in this respect, that time spent by artists on rehearsals is to all intents and purposes effective working time and that it is essential to take into consideration all such periods of activity in establishing their career histories both during periods of unemployment and for pension purposes;

29.	Urges the Commission to assess the real level of European cooperation and exchange as regards vocational training in the performing arts and promote such measures within the framework of the programmes for Lifelong Learning and Culture 2007 and European Year for Education and Culture in 2009;

Towards a restructuring of amateur activities

30.	Stresses the need to support all artistic and cultural activities targeted at those who are socially deprived with a view to integrating them more closely;

31.	Stresses the importance of amateur artistic activities as a crucial element in bringing together local communities and in building a citizen's society;

32.	Stresses that artists, without special formal training, who aspire to a professional artistic career should be well informed about certain aspects of the profession;

33.	Accordingly, urges the Member States to encourage and promote amateur activities with constant reference to professional artists;

Guaranteeing artistic and cultural training from the earliest possible age

34.	Calls on the Commission to draw up a survey of education in the field of art in the E U (content, nature of the training provided — formal or otherwise — results obtained and career opportunities) and to forward to Parliament the findings thereof within two years;

35.	Urges the Commission to encourage and promote mobility for European arts students by stepping up programmes for the exchange of students from national conservatoires and arts academies both inside and outside Europe;

Estimates of the European Parliament for 2008

European Parliament resolution of 7 June 2007 on Parliament's estimates of revenue and expenditure for the financial year 2008 (2007/2018(BUD))

The European Parliament,

—	having regard to Article 272(2) of the EC Treaty,

—	having regard to Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (1), and in particular Article 31 thereof,

—	having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (2),

—	having regard to its resolution of 29 March 2007 on the guidelines for the 2008 budget procedure — Sections II, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII and IX — and on the European Parliament's preliminary draft estimates (Section I) for the 2008 budget procedure (3),

—	having regard to the Secretary-General's report to the Bureau on drawing up Parliament's preliminary draft estimates for the financial year 2008,

—	having regard to the preliminary draft estimates drawn up by the Bureau on 28 March 2007 pursuant to Rules 22(6) and 73 of Parliament's Rules of Procedure,

—	having regard to Rule 73 of its Rules of Procedure,

—	having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgets (A6-0202/2007),

A.	whereas the rate of increase of heading 5 (administrative costs) of the multiannual framework for 2008 is 4,8 %, a figure higher than the inflation rate of 2 %,

B.	whereas the 2008 budget should be aimed at the budgetary level of 2007, increased by the inflation rate of 2%, unless there are specific grounds to the contrary,

C.	whereas 2008 is the last full year before the next elections to the European Parliament,

D.	whereas the political priorities for 2008 are the provision of efficient services to Members to enable better law-making, enhancement of the effectiveness of the communication tools of the European Parliament and its political groups and improvement of the budget allocation,

E.	whereas the estimated costs of a number of new projects adopted by the Bureau on 28 March 2007 will remain unknown until the presentation of the amending letter in September;

Financial aspects

1.	Recalls that the 2008 budget should be a ‘budget for the EU tax-payer’, aimed at responsible budgetary behaviour on the part of all actors involved in the process, with decisions on financial resources based on solid reasoning;

Recalls that the recommendation for 2008 as adopted in its abovementioned resolution of 29 March 2007 is, on the one hand, to set the budget at the level which allows the most effective work to be provided by the institution within a rational level of financial resources, on the basis of justified and real budgetary needs, and, on the other hand, to limit the increase in the European Parliament's budget to the adjustment of current prices;

In this connection, highlights that the process of purchasing the European Parliament's premises in its three places of work should, in the long term, lead to substantial savings for the EU tax-payer; is ready to consider using the necessary part of the margin between the inflation rate and the rate of increase provided for in the multiannual framework, depending on the financial needs arising from the specific situation of ownership of Parliament's premises;

Recalls that in its abovementioned guidelines resolution, it was agreed that all budgetary requests should be based on justified needs; notes that the budgetary authority has not been provided with sufficiently detailed and precise information on all budgetary allocations; points out that the preliminary draft estimates give an amount of EUR 55 000 000 in Chapter 10 6 (‘Reserve for priority projects under development’) and EUR 10 300 000 for the pre-election campaign without providing any detailed justification for those amounts; recalls that the guidelines emphasised that unless there is justification based on real needs, Parliament's budget for 2008 should be set at the level of 2007 taking into consideration adjustments to current prices, ensuring in the process that the effective operation of the institution is not impaired; reiterates that the 20 % level of Heading 5 should constitute the upper limit of the budget; is disappointed that the Bureau set the level of the budget at EUR 1 491 400 000 which represents the full 20 % of Heading 5;

Emphasises the fact that the 2008 draft estimates include an increase of 6,7% over the 2007 budget despite savings made from ceasing to translate the verbatim reports of proceedings (EUR 9 000 000) and the transfer of the management of costs related to termination-of-service allowances to the Commission;

Will examine in detail the proposals for the projects provided for under Chapter 10 6 (‘Reserve for priority projects under development’); insists that the information explaining them be communicated in due time to its relevant committee; prefers, at this stage, to leave a token entry (‘pm’) in Chapter 10 4 (‘Reserve for information and communication policy’) and Chapter 10 6 (‘Reserve for priority projects under development’), which will set the budget at EUR 1 436 400 000, representing an increase of 2,8% over the 2007 budget; is willing to decide on the amount to be allocated to these projects once the concrete information is presented;

Is concerned by the high level of mopping-up transfers in the last few years which shot up to EUR 124 144 556 in 2005 and EUR 105 871 425 in 2006; recalls the fact that the numerous transfer requests made throughout the year change the allocation decided by the budgetary authority; invites the administration to estimate appropriations more accurately;

Notes that in 2008 the Belgian State will reimburse to the European Parliament an advance payment of EUR 22 700 000 made when the decision on the construction of the current premises in Brussels was taken; notes, moreover, that this appropriation will be placed in assigned revenue and will be used only to finance expenditure on buildings;

Information policy

Takes note of the proposals to allocate an overall budget of EUR 41 800 000 to information policy, which will include EUR 10 300 000 for an awareness campaign in view of the 2009 European elections, EUR 9 000 000 for implementation of the Parliamentary Television Channel (WebTV), EUR 15 700 000 for the Audiovisual Centre and EUR 6 800 000 to complete the construction of the Visitors' Centre;

10.

Welcomes the initiative taken by the Bureau to propose an information campaign relating to the next European elections; deplores, however, the fact that the actions proposed in the context of this campaign will not be defined before the end of 2007; requests the administration to present a proposal before the first reading of the budget and insists on the inclusion of relevant proposals supporting direct communication with citizens; has decided, pending the submission of more detailed information on the utilisation of these funds, to place the amount of EUR 10 300 000 entered for election purposes in Chapter 10 0 (‘Provisional Appropriation’) and to reduce the corresponding budget lines accordingly;

11.

Considers that the development of a specific programme, similar to that for Visitors' groups, which focuses on small and local media would be of interest to Members as one of the most efficient means of raising Union citizens' awareness of the European Parliament's activities; invites the Quaestors to examine the feasibility of providing each Member with proper means for inviting local journalists to come to the European Parliament;

12.

Notes that the WebTV project is being substantially delayed to the autumn 2007; emphasises that the appropriations allocated and entered in Chapter 10 4 (‘Reserve for information’) in the 2007 budget will not be used as initially anticipated; considers that this amount may be carried forward to 2008, subject to final approval of the prototype, and consequently could cover the needs of the year; therefore considers that the EUR 9 000 000 requested for 2008 should be placed in Chapter 10 1 (‘Contingency reserve’) pending a more precise estimation of the cost of the project if approved, and further information as to the capacity of absorption of such an amount;

13.

Acknowledges that the budget allocations requested for completing the construction of the Visitors' Centre and the Audiovisual Centre are in line with initial estimates; emphasises the fact that their implementation is highly dependent on the delivery dates of the D4 and D5 buildings, which may be slightly delayed, according to the information given by the Secretary General to the Bureau on 12 March 2007; asks the administration, therefore, to keep its relevant committee informed in order to allow it to make the necessary adjustments in the 2008 budget;

Multilingualism

14.

Is willing to consider a proposal for restructuring the interpretation service, while insisting that the administration enforce more actively the code of conduct on multilingualism, in order to ensure suitable and efficient linguistic support for Members above all at official meetings of Parliament bodies and prevent any shortcomings, irresponsible use or misuse of this service; is willing to consider within this framework the possible extension of this service to more personal linguistic assistance; recalls that all Members should be treated fairly, irrespective of their native language;

15.	Points out that any recommendation for the interpretation service should take account of the report of the Court of Auditors and be based on a comprehensive quality control system including qualitative indicators;

16.

Is highly concerned by the fact that translations of documents are frequently not available in all languages for debates in committees, a situation which has a negative impact on the committees' proceedings and leads to an inefficient use of available resources (in particular given the multiplication of extraordinary meetings); insists that it is vital to take the necessary measures to have an efficient translation system in order to ensure the equal treatment of all Members and the orderly development of parliamentary business; urges the administration to make all the necessary efforts to provide the appropriate means and ensure an adequate organisation of the translation service in order to prevent any shortcomings and the consequent increase of costs, in particular when deadlines for decisions are fixed in the Treaty;

Buildings

17.

Is surprised by the substantial increase in Item 2000 (‘Rent’) of EUR 5 131 200, which absorbs half of the savings resulting from the purchase of the Strasbourg buildings; understands that the increase of 19,85 % is based on developments in the real estate market and the need to rent an additional building in Luxembourg during the work on the extension of the KAD building; recommends that the administration bear these factors in mind before proposing further purchases of external offices that cannot be considered a priority with regard to the three places of work;

18.

Takes note of the delay in the construction of the extension of the KAD building, mainly due to the decision of the Luxembourg State to abandon the creation of a shopping area; acknowledges that this decision will ease the management of the building in particular in terms of security; regrets, however, that construction work cannot start on time, which will postpone the occupancy of the extension to the end of 2012 and necessitate a longer rental of the temporary buildings; asks, therefore, to be kept informed of further developments with this project;

19.

Points out that Item 2007 (‘Fitting out premises’) has increased by 72,24 % compared to the 2007 budget to an amount of EUR 30 008 000; decides to put the amount of EUR 3 000 000 foreseen for the Sports Centre under sub-item 2007/03 (‘Fitting-out, Brussels’) in reserve until Parliament's competent bodies have taken a final decision on the project and its financing; awaits the report on building needs and maintenance costs scheduled for 30 April 2007;

20.

Is strongly of the view that a global approach must be taken when deciding on renting, purchasing or fitting-out buildings; considers that every decision concerning buildings policy must take into account the longer-term financial consequences; will assess the information provided on the overall costs of its buildings policy before allocating the appropriations requested; asks the administration to provide detailed information on the fitting-out works, especially those foreseen in Brussels and the newly acquired buildings in Strasbourg;

Informatics

21.

Notes that the increase in IT expenditure over the last four years has reached 28 %; considers that the current strategy was useful in modernising the European Parliament's IT systems, enhancing the services provided to users and developing a new internet website; stresses, nevertheless, that it has multiplied the number of projects to 477 and has left some key functions in the hands of external staff; emphasises that, given that the administration must justify its financial requests, the Directorate on Information Technologies (DIT) should make proposals to rationalise its costs in the context of the amending letter;

22.

Notes that the estimate for telecommunications charges is approximately the same as the estimate for 2005, whereas the actual costs have been falling annually since 2004 owing to the use of new technologies and general price reductions in the sector, and in 2006 were EUR 2 100 000 below the estimates; calls on the Secretary-General to report to the Committee on Budgets on the use of current VOIP technologies to reduce telephone costs;

Staff

23.

Acknowledges the fact that the Bureau's request for new posts extends, at this stage, to 16 posts (7 AST3 and 9 AD5); regrets that only 10 posts are proposed from the redeployment exercise; calls on the administration to provide detailed information on the impact in terms of post reductions and redeployment due to the implementation of the new streamline software and on other short and medium-term strategies regarding redeployment possibilities as mentioned in the guidelines; considers an annual target of 1% as a minimum; confirms its willingness to receive a global overview and justification of the requests before taking its final decision; proposes, consequently, to place the appropriations relating to the requested posts in reserve for the time being;

24.

Recalls the request to meet the full level of recruitment of staff from the EU-10 as well as Romania and Bulgaria; considers this an important element for the provision of effective support to Members, especially for linguistic services; while recognising this as the primary goal, requests the administration to present the appropriate measures for the long-term sustainability of these services;

25.

Emphasises that a number of uncertainties still remain regarding staffing needs following recent Bureau decisions, for example the impact of the new Codex on the activity of the medical centre; reminds the administration that it should provide by March and September of each year an updated report on the recruitment situation related to enlargement and expects to receive detailed information to justify any new requests by the first reading;

26.	Takes note of the proposals concerning the upgrading of permanent and temporary posts, the conversion of posts and possible ad personam promotions in the European Parliament's Secretariat; decides to defer them until the first reading and place the related appropriations in reserve;

27.	Notes that the proposals concerning the upgrading of staff from the political groups will be communicated at a later date; is willing to consider them in the first reading;

28.

Considers that efforts can be made to limit the number of staff missions to Strasbourg and, where possible, to make better use of new technologies such as video conferencing; decides to limit the appropriation allocated to Article 300 (‘Staff mission allowances’) to the level of the 2007 budget and to enter the increase of EUR 1 490 000, requested for 2008, in Chapter 10 0 (‘Provisional appropriation’);

Miscellaneous

29.

Reiterates that the rapid implementation of the new badge system will greatly improve security in the buildings; is surprised by the increase in Item 214 (‘Technical equipment and installations’) and in particular by the increase in its sub-item on security of 36,8 % compared to last year's budget due to a substantial increase in the maintenance costs of the security infrastructure and to certain investments, such as the new radio system; insists on the fact that the security of the European Parliament's premises, its Members and staff, is an important issue that nevertheless calls for a prudent approach as regards its possible financial impact; invites the administration to re-examine its request bearing in mind the points expressed above and to present a new proposal by the time of the amending letter; decides, consequently, to enter EUR 2 000 000, allocated to new projects, in Chapter 10 0 (‘Provisional appropriation’);

30.

Reminds the Secretary-General that, in its resolutions of 1 June 2006 on Parliament's estimates and of 26 October 2006 on the draft general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2007 — Sections I, II, IV, V, VI, VII and VIII (4), it was requested that by 15 December 2006 the administration should embark on an information strategy to address the issue that Members are often not fully aware of the available support services and that until now no proposal has been presented to its relevant committee;

31.	Requests the administration to update its estimates on the appropriations needed in relation to EMAS;

32.

Notes the proposed modifications of the nomenclature; recalls that a report on the financing of expenditure relating to delegations and Assemblies is awaited; decides at this stage not to agree to the changes in the nomenclature in Article 214 (‘Technical equipment and installations’) and in Items 3244 (‘Organisation and reception of groups of visitors, Euroscola programme and invitations to opinion multipliers from third countries’), 3245 (‘Organisation of seminars, symposia and cultural activities’), 3246 (‘Parliamentary television channel’), 3249 (‘Information exchanges with national parliaments’) and the proposed new Item 3047 (‘Miscellaneous expenditure on the organisation of Eurolat Parliamentary Assembly meetings’);

33.

Is convinced of the need to reinforce the relationship between Members of the European Parliament and Members of EU national parliaments and democratically elected national parliaments of third countries; is willing to support the programme for information exchanges with national parliaments (Item 3249) once it has received further detailed information;

* *

34.	Adopts the estimates for the financial year 2008;

35.	Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission and the Kingdom of Belgium.
