2008/2248(INI)

María SORNOSA MARTÍNEZ, Inés AYALA SENDER, Vicente Miguel GARCÉS RAMÓN
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
8. Believes, nevertheless, that absence of clarity, that possible misapplication of the precovision and certainty with regard to individual property rights contained in existing legislation, and the lack of any proper and consistent application ofs concerning property rights with regard to the general interest, as laid down in current legislation on both development and the environmental law, are is one of the root causes of many problems related to urbanisation and that this, combined with a certain lathe complexity inof the judicial process, has not only compounded the problem but has also generated an endemic form of corruption of which, once again, the European citizen is the primary victim, but which has also caumade possible some cases of corruption of which the primary victims are ordinary citizens, as a result of the failure to achieve rational spatial planning, but which has also caused the Spanish state to suffer significant prejudice, specifically in the Valencian Community, arising from the interpretation of the application of Law 6/1994 of 15 November, regulating development activity, which, although formally repealed, continues to be applied to many development plans and projects currently being processed, since this is permissible under the transition provisions of the new Ley Urbanística Valenciana Development Law. Believes that the conclusions reached by the Valencian Community’s Ombudswoman (Síndica de Greuges), an institution justly famed for its defence of citizens’ fundamental rights, conclusions which state that owners’ rights may have been affected, whether as a result of being undervalued by the developer, or by their having to shoulder sometimes excessive development charges unilaterally imposed by the Spanish state to suffer significant loss; developer; Access to information and citizens’ involvement in the development process needs to be guaranteed from the outset of the process, making environmental information available to citizens in a clear, simple and comprehensible form. Believes that no properly delimited definition of ‘general interest’ has been made either in existing development legislation nor by the appropriate authorities, and that this term is used to approve projects which are environmentally unsustainable, and in certain cases to circumvent negative environmental impact assessments and reports by the Hydographic Confederation;

Recital 31
(31) The evidence available indicates that the application of free movement principles regarding use of healthcare in another Member State within the limits of the cover guaranteed by the statutory sickness insurance scheme of the Member State of affiliation will not undermine the health systems of the Member States or the financial sustainability of their social security systems. However, the Court of Justice has recognised that it cannot be excluded that the possible risk of seriously undermining a social security system’s financial balance or the objective of maintaining a balanced medical and hospital service open to all may constitute overriding reasons in the general interest capable of justifying a barrier to the principle of freedom to provide services. The Court of Justice has also recognised that the number of hospitals, their geographical distribution, the way in which they are organised and the facilities with which they are provided, and even the nature of the medical services which they are able to offer, are all matters for which planning must be possible. This Directive should provide for a system of prior authorisation for assumption of costs for hospital care received in another Member State, where the following conditions are met: had the treatment been provided on its territory, it would have been assumed by its social security system and the consequent outflow of patients due to the implementation of the Directive seriously undermines or is likely to seriously undermine the financial balance of the social security system and/or this outflow of patients seriously undermines, or is likely to seriously undermine, the planning and rationalisation carried out in the hospital sector to avoid hospital overcapacity, imbalance in the supply of hospital care and logistical and financial wastage, the maintenance of a balanced medical and hospital service open to all, or the maintenance of treatment capacity or medical competence on the territory of the Member State concerned. As the assessment of the precise impact of an expected outflow of patients requires complex assumptions and calculations, the Directive allows for a system of prior authorisation if there is sufficient reason to expect that the social security system will be seriously undermined. This should also cover cases of already existing systems of prior authorisation which are in conformity with conditions laid down in Article 8.deleted

(31a) In the light of the case law of the Court of Justice, Member States may impose a prior authorisation requirement where the national system is called upon to assume the costs of hospital care administered in another Member State. Such a requirement should be considered a reasonable as well as a necessary step. That being the case, the number of hospitals, their geographical spread, the way in which they are organised, and the facilities that they have, and even the nature of the medical services which they are able to offer, are all matters that should be possible to deal with by means of planning, couched in general terms in order to satisfy varied needs. Such planning should, firstly, be intended to ensure that the necessary access is provided at all times to a balanced range of efficacious hospital treatment in the Member State concerned. Secondly, it should help to satisfy the desire for rational use of resources, thus making for social efficiency in terms of financial, technical, and human resources.

(7a) Each of the different components of capture, transport and storage of CO2 has been the object of demonstration projects on a smaller scale than that required for their industrial application. However, they still need to be integrated into a complete CCS process, and technological costs need to be reduced. The main projects for CO2 storage which include the participation of European enterprises are the Sleipner project in the North Sea (Statoil) and the In Salah project in Algeria (Statoil, BP and Sonatrach). The large-scale pilot projects under way are the Schwartze Pumpe project in Germany (Vattenfall), the CCS project in the Lacq basin in France (Total), and the El Bierzo project in Spain (CIUDEN).

(22) Manufacturers' compliance with the targets under this Regulation should be assessed at the Community level. Manufacturers whose average specific emissions of CO2 exceed those permitted under this Regulation should pay an excess emissions premium in respect of each calendar year from 2012 onwards. The premium should be modulated as a function of the extent to which manufacturers fail to comply with their target. It should increase over time. In order to provide a sufficient incentive to take measures to reduce specific emissions of CO2 from passenger cars, the premium should reflect technological costs on a realistic and feasible basis. The amounts of the excess emissions premium should be considered as revenue for the budget of the European Union and used to increase support for CO2 reduction research and innovation activities in the automotive sector.

Recital 22
It is therefore appropriate for the Community to provide for procedures to set reference points for control action at concentrations of the residues for which scientific advice indicates that consumer exposure is negligible and laboratory analysis is technically feasible in order to facilitate intra-Community trade and imports, without undermining a high level of human-health protection in the Community. However, the setting of reference points for control action should in no way precondone the illegal use of non-authorised substances to treat food-producing animals. Therefore, any residues of those substances in food are in fact undesirable.

It is calculated with energy in the form of electricity being multiplied by 2.6 and heat produced for commercial use multiplied by 1.1 (GJ/year) Ef means annual energy input to the system from fuels contributing to the production of steam (GJ/year) Ew means annual energy contained in the treated waste calculated using the lower net calorific value of the waste (GJ/year) Ei means annual energy imported excluding Ew and Ef (GJ/year) 0.97 is a factor accounting for energy losses due to bottom ash and radiation. This formula shall be applied in accordance with the reference document on Best Available Techniques for waste incineration.
