Establishing the criteria and mechanisms for determining the Member State responsible for examining an application for international protection lodged in one of the Member States by a third-country national or a stateless person (recast) (A8-0345/2017 - Cecilia Wikström)

. – UKIP MEPs voted against allowing this legislative report to be negotiated among the EU institutions behind closed doors. UKIP believes that legislation should receive full scrutiny from Parliament and that Members should be able to table amendments to the report.
2016/11/22
EU-New Zealand Partnership Agreement on Relations and Cooperation (Consent) (A8-0327/2017 - Charles Tannock)

. – UKIP voted against providing consent to this agreement. We do not support the development of EU foreign policy. New Zealand is a Commonwealth member and we look forward to reinvigorating the UK’s relationship with this country post Brexit. We are pleased to note the strong calls coming from New Zealand for increased trade links among Commonwealth nations.
2016/11/22
EU-New Zealand Partnership Agreement on Relations and Cooperation (Resolution) (A8-0333/2017 - Charles Tannock)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative and non-binding resolution. We do not support the development of EU foreign policy. New Zealand is a Commonwealth member and we look forward to reinvigorating the UK’s relationship with this country post Brexit. We are pleased to note the strong calls coming from New Zealand for increased trade links amongst Commonwealth nations.
2016/11/22
The EU-Africa Strategy: a boost for development (A8-0334/2017 - Maurice Ponga)

. – In this non-legislative own—initiative report on the EU-Africa Strategy: a boost for development, UKIP MEPs voted against. ACP means ‘African, Caribbean and Pacific’ states. ‘The document ‘calls for the parliamentary dimension of ACP-EU to be stepped up.’ They see the ACP as an important entity to help strengthen democracy, the rule of law and respect of human rights. However, the ACP is just another EU Trojan horse. The EU finances approximately 50% of the costs of the ACP secretariat. The report ‘recalls that Africa is particularly vulnerable to the impact of climate change; considers it essential for the EU to develop a strategic approach to building climate resilience and to support African countries, in particular the least developed countries in their efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt.’ It is argued that African countries have more important concerns when it comes to spending money than focussing on climate change scaremongering. In addition, the document states that it wants to ‘respect the commitment given in Paris in 2015 to allocate USD 100 billion to developing countries by 2020.’ This is the EU throwing money at a problem and hoping that it will go away, so UKIP voted against.
2016/11/22
Activities of the European Ombudsman in 2016 (A8-0328/2017 - Marlene Mizzi)

. – UKIP abstained on this non-legislative report. We support the right of anyone who feels they have been mistreated by the EU institutions to seek redress via the ombudsman. However, we voted to abstain on this, as we do not believe all of the provisions within this report are in the British interest.
2016/11/22
Environmental Implementation Review (EIR) (B8-0590/2017)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted against this non—legislative resolution. UKIP believe that a new EU legislative tool to inspect the rightful application of unilaterally imposed legislation is not the answer to the improvement of environmental policies in Europe. Independence and freedom from absurd targets unilaterally set by the unelected EU Commission will allow Britain to re-join the world and enhance liberty whilst protecting the environment.
2016/11/22
Combating inequalities as a lever to boost job creation and growth (A8-0340/2017 - Javi López)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative and non-binding report. Whilst we support effective measures to increase economic opportunities for all citizens, we cannot support this report. Primarily, it supports the implementation of new EU legislation and increased interference by the Commission in the internal affairs of Member States. Additionally, many of the proposals contained within this report would have the opposite effect of their stated aims.
2016/11/22
Period for adopting delegated acts (A8-0332/2017 - Gesine Meissner)

. – UKIP voted against this legislative initiative. This would extend the Commission’s power to bypass parliamentary scrutiny of changes to a Directive on intelligent road systems, and make unilateral changes to the legislation. Whilst we object to all EU institutions legislating on behalf of the UK, the European Parliament allows some level of democratic scrutiny on otherwise unaccountable decisions made in the Commission.
2016/11/22
Protection against dumped and subsidised imports from countries not members of the EU (A8-0236/2017 - Salvatore Cicu)

. – UKIP voted against this legislative 1st reading report as we felt that the recommendations would not be sufficiently strong to protect us from unfair or abusive trade practices with partners. In addition, we note that whilst independent countries like America can and do take decisive action against trade abuse, EU policy is not as effective in this area.
2016/11/22
Rule of law in Malta (B8-0596/2017, B8-0597/2017)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative and non-binding resolution. We express our sincere condolences to the family of Daphne Caruana Galizia and support the on-going independent investigation into the circumstances to her death. We hope her killers are brought to justice. However we are completely opposed to any attempt at politicising her death or using it as a catalyst for the European Commission or any other EU institution to interfere in the internal affairs of Malta. Any allegations of illegal wrongdoing should be investigated by the appropriate authorities within Malta. We remain resolutely opposed to any use of the Rule of Law Mechanism.
2016/11/22
Multilateral negotiations in view of the 11th WTO Ministerial Conference (B8-0593/2017)

. – UKIP abstained on this non-legislative resolution. We note with satisfaction that this is the last time that the EU will represent us in the WTO Ministerial Conference before Brexit. We look forward to an independent Britain being a helpful and active participant in the WTO once free of the EU. In the meantime, we chose to abstain.
2016/11/22
Eastern Partnership: November 2017 Summit (A8-0308/2017 - Laima Liucija Andrikienė, Knut Fleckenstein)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative and non-binding report. We are firmly opposed to the development of any kind of EU foreign policy, including further expansion of the European Union. The Eastern Partnership provides a mechanism to support these ambitions.
2016/11/22
Action Plan for nature, people and the economy (B8-0589/2017)

. – UKIP MEPs have abstained on this non-legislative resolution. UKIP firmly believe in the great importance of preserving biodiversity in Europe. However, UKIP think that this subject should be competence of Member States’ national governments.
2016/11/22
The situation of the rule of law and democracy in Poland (B8-0594/2017, B8-0595/2017)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative and non-binding resolution. We are opposed to any use of the Rule of Law Mechanism in which the Commission interferes in the internal affairs of a sovereign state. The Law and Justice Party sought and received a democratic mandate in free and fair elections to form a government and pursue its agenda. Any allegations of unconstitutional or illegal activity should be dealt with by the courts within Poland and have no need for the involvement of the Commission.
2016/11/22
Mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund: application EGF/2017/004 IT/Almaviva (A8-0346/2017 - Daniele Viotti)

. – UKIP voted against this budgetary decision. The proposal is to give over EUR 3.3 million to 1 610 Italian workers who have lost their jobs. The money will go to things like retraining, job seeking, allowances for travel, start-up grants etc. UKIP voted against as we don’t believe UK taxpayers’ money should be used for poor economic decisions in other countries. This is nothing more than EU unemployment benefit.
2016/11/22
Saving lives: boosting car safety in the EU (A8-0330/2017 - Dieter-Lebrecht Koch)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative and non-binding report. Whist we take the issue of car safety seriously the UK has perfectly sufficient legislation in place. This report calls for unnecessary harmonisation of standards and contains calls for several legislative initiatives which we cannot accept. Any changes to laws affecting the UK should originate in our own sovereign Parliamentary democracy.
2016/11/22
Territorial typologies (A8-0231/2017 - Iskra Mihaylova)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted against this first reading on the territorial typologies. Traditionally, typologies of territory are determined by population size and density of local administrative units, such as communes and local authorities. The main policy objectives of the initiative are to establish a legal recognition of territorial typologies, including the definitions of cities, for the purpose of European statistics. They want to have the same definitions for the whole of the EU rather than having individual definitions for different countries. The aim of this proposal is to further refine the data that the EU has on its Member States and in doing so make it possible to accumulate data according to clear-cut typologies. This will just help the EU compose more specific legislation for these areas and for this reason UKIP has voted against.
2016/11/22
Recognition of professional qualifications in inland navigation (A8-0338/2016 - Gesine Meissner)

. – UKIP voted against this legislative initiative. Fundamentally we disagree with the EU institutions deciding any law affecting the UK. Specifically in this case the UK has its own licensing system. EU involvement and harmonisation is unnecessary and potentially damaging. A similar scheme applied to the UK’s road infrastructure created a national shortage of drivers and therefore disrupted the economy. Voting against protects against any potential negative impacts on the UK’s inland waterways.
2016/11/22
Cooperation between national authorities responsible for the enforcement of consumer protection laws (A8-0077/2017 - Olga Sehnalová)

. – UKIP have voted against this legislative first reading report. UKIP disagree that harmonisation of consumer protection across Europe is needed, as well as opposing the idea that the scope of the existing CPC regulation needs extending, or its efficiency strengthening. In addition to this, UKIP believe that Member States can act on their own accord without involvement from the Commission.
2016/11/22
Deployment of cohesion policy instruments by regions to address demographic change (A8-0329/2017 - Iratxe García Pérez)

. – UKIP MEPs voted against this non-legislative own-initiative report on the deployment of cohesion policy instruments by regions to address demographic change. The report talks about the characteristics of demographic change in the EU, such as decreasing population densities, falling birth rates and gradual depopulation. It calls for the establishment of an EU-wide legal framework that specifically recognises all territories facing demographic disadvantage and calls on the Commission to include a new flagship initiative on demographic change in Europe 2020. UKIP voted against, as the report is calling for the Commission to create more EU-wide legal frameworks and to adopt a European strategy to address demographic change: this is a national issue, not an EU one.
2016/11/22
Action plan on retail financial services (A8-0326/2017 - Olle Ludvigsson)

. – This non-legislative report calls on the Commission to, inter alia, ensure competition in retail financial services is not ‘distorted’; however, we recognise that the Commission is on the side of big business which wants to avoid disruption and will use this as an excuse to stifle competition rather than to enhance it. Accordingly UKIP voted against.
2016/11/22
Implementation of the Environmental Liability Directive (A8-0297/2017 - Laura Ferrara)

. – UKIP MEPs voted against this own-initiative report. This report amongst other things is calling for secondary legislation to accompany Member State primary legislation and the setting up of a European fund for the remedying of environmental damage.

Respect for private life and the protection of personal data in electronic communications and repealing Directive 2002/58/EC (Regulation on Privacy and Electronic Communications) (A8-0324/2017 - Marju Lauristin)

. – UKIP MEPs voted against allowing this legislative report to be negotiated between the institutions behind closed doors. UKIP believe that legislation should receive full scrutiny from Parliament and that Members should be able to table amendments to the report.

Combating sexual harassment and abuse in the EU (RC-B8-0576/2017, B8-0576/2017, B8-0577/2017, B8-0578/2017, B8-0579/2017, B8-0580/2017, B8-0581/2017, B8-0582/2017)

. – UKIP voted to abstain on this non-legislative, motion for resolution. We utterly deplore any form of sexual harassment and abuse, particularly in the work place. Therefore, we welcome initiatives taken to tackle workplace harassment internally within the European Parliament and EU institutions.However, whilst we condemn any form of violence against women, this report called for more legislation, which would encroach on the policies of Member States. In this respect we believe it is at the discretion of National governments to decide on policy and legislation.

Negotiating mandate for trade negotiations with Australia (A8-0311/2017 - Daniel Caspary)

. – UKIP voted against this. Whilst we usually support free trade talks, we note that the EU has initiated these talks at precisely the time the EU says the UK cannot discuss trade deals with anyone the EU is discussing a deal with. We regard this as a cynical ploy to stop Britain forging global trade deals, particularly with Commonwealth countries.
2016/11/22
Negotiating mandate for trade negotiations with New Zealand (A8-0312/2017 - Daniel Caspary)

. – UKIP voted against this. Whilst we usually support free trade talks, we note that the EU has initiated these talks at precisely the time the EU says the UK cannot discuss trade deals with anyone the EU is discussing a deal with. We regard this as a cynical ploy to stop Britain forging global trade deals, particularly with Commonwealth countries.
2016/11/22
Monitoring the application of EU law 2015 (A8-0265/2017 - Kostas Chrysogonos)

. – UKIP MEPs voted against this non-binding own-initiative report. This report is critical of Member States’ application of refugee quotas and calls for further infringement action to be taken. It is concerning that this report calls for more infringement action to be taken against Member States when they fail to implement EU law either in a timely manner or at all.
2016/11/22
Draft general budget of the European Union for 2018 - all sections

. – UKIP voted in favour of all amendments to cut EU budget lines, and voted against all increases. This vote was to set the EU budget for 2018. UKIP tabled 66 amendments to the budget, which would have saved EUR 3.6 billion. However, all but two were rejected. The two amendments that passed demanded the end of taxpayers’ money being used to indirectly support bullfighting from EU agricultural payment funds. The initial Commission proposal for the 2018 EU budget was EUR 160.6 billion (1.7% increase on 2017), it then went to the Council who amended it down to EUR 158.9 billion (0.63% increase on 2017) and then the EU Parliament proposal was to increase it to EUR 162.5 billion. The next stage of the process is for the EU Parliament and the Council to meet for a series of ‘conciliation’ meetings to make a deal behind closed doors as they couldn’t agree on the final budget ceilings. UKIP believes only our elected national government has the right to spend taxpayers’ money, not unaccountable EU institutions.
2016/11/22
General budget of the European Union for 2018 - all sections (A8-0299/2017 - Siegfried Mureşan, Richard Ashworth)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative, non-binding report. This resolution is the political view of Parliament which accompanies the 2018 EU budget lines vote. Overall the report called for a bigger EU budget, more EU initiatives and an increased multiannual financial framework. UKIP believes only our elected national government has the right to spend taxpayers’ money, not unaccountable EU institutions.
2016/11/22
Discharge 2015: EU general budget - European Council and Council (A8-0291/2017 - Bart Staes)

. – UKIP voted in favour of the proposal to refuse discharge and in favour of the accompanying non-legislative resolution. The ‘discharge’ is a yearly procedure where the EU Parliament looks through the budgets of all EU institutions and agencies to decide whether they have been used correctly. This proposal is to refuse to grant discharge to the EU Council. For many years there has been a recurring problem with the Council. Under the EU treaties it says the Parliament has the right to grant discharge to the Commission, but it doesn’t say anything about the Parliament granting discharge to any other EU institution or agency. Because of this the Council doesn’t cooperate with this transparency procedure. This decision and resolution criticises the Council for not being more open about their budgeting. UKIP always opposes the granting of discharge and the closure of accounts, and supports any calls for greater transparency, as we oppose all these EU institutions and agencies in principle.
2016/11/22
Protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to carcinogens or mutagens (A8-0064/2017 - Marita Ulvskog)

. – UKIP abstained on this legislation. We fully support appropriate measures to protect the health and welfare of workers. We believe that all legislation should be initiated by sovereign Member States. This however does not create new legislation but rather updates existing legislation already in place according to the latest scientific consensus.
2016/11/22
Establishing an Entry/Exit System (EES) to register entry and exit data of third country nationals crossing the EU external borders (A8-0057/2017 - Agustín Díaz de Mera García Consuegra)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted against this legislative first reading report. In principle, UKIP largely support the measures proposed. With the significant increase in terrorist and criminal threat, it is only logical to have a system that electronically registers biometric information and records where and when third country nationals entered the EU. UKIP do, however, believe that the management of borders should not be a competence of the EU and should be the sole right of a sovereign state. Moreover, UKIP MEPs also have concerns with regards to the centralisation of sensitive information which can be accessed by all Member States and EU agencies. For these two reasons, UKIP voted against this report.
2016/11/22
Amendment of the Schengen Borders Code as regards the use of the Entry/Exit System (A8-0059/2017 - Agustín Díaz de Mera García Consuegra)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted against this legislative first reading report. This report is a technical supplement to enable the establishment of the Entry/Exit System (EES), which UKIP oppose. Therefore to keep consistent with our approach to the EES, UKIP MEPs voted against enabling changes to the Schengen Borders Code which would facilitate the EES.
2016/11/22
Fundamental rights aspects in Roma integration in the EU: fighting anti-Gypsyism (A8-0294/2017 - Soraya Post)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted to abstain on this non-legislative report. UKIP fully opposes all forms of discrimination based on a person’s race, ethnicity, culture or religion and, in principle, supports the broad aims of this report. UKIP does, however, oppose aspects of the report which clearly breach the principle of subsidiarity. UKIP believes that whilst more should be done to protect Roma people, Member States should be able to decide what practices are best to achieve this goal.
2016/11/22
EU-Morocco Euro-Mediterranean Aviation Agreement (A8-0303/2017 - Dominique Riquet)

. – UKIP MEPs voted to abstain on this recommendation. This bilateral agreement guarantees its legal certainty. Furthermore this is the first to have been signed with a country outside the European continent and will prove a source of precedence for the future.
2016/11/22
Authorising France to apply a reduced rate of certain indirect taxes on ‘traditional’ rum produced in Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique and Réunion (A8-0304/2017 - Iskra Mihaylova)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted against this consultation procedure. These special taxes pre-date the existence of the formation of the EU so France should not have to ask the Commission for permission to reduce the rate of these indirect taxes. The EU does not have the right to be intervening in national state affairs. This is just yet again another example of the EU intervening in state affairs that should not concern them. France should be able to regulate its own special tax arrangements with its own outermost regions without having to ask for permission first. In conclusion, this is why UKIP have voted against this document.
2016/11/22
Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking: financial contributions (A8-0293/2017 - Miroslav Poche)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted against this own initiative report. UKIP support exchange of information and cooperation among Member States in the field of research. However, the financial implication of these EU projects (EUR 7.35 billion) is unacceptable.
2016/11/22
Subjecting furanylfentanyl to control measures (A8-0309/2017 - Michał Boni)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted to abstain on this technically non-legislative report. The UK already has measures in place to control these drugs under the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016. The UK is not bound by this decision taken at EU level, however UKIP believe that controlling the drug in the EU could be beneficial in combatting the drug being available in the UK.
2016/11/22
Control of spending and monitoring of EU Youth Guarantee schemes cost-effectiveness (A8-0296/2017 - Derek Vaughan)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative, non-binding report. The EU Youth Guarantee scheme is a commitment by all Member States to ensure all young people under the age of 25 receive a good quality offer of employment, further education or apprenticeship within a 4 month period of becoming unemployed or leaving education. This report does call for greater transparency and oversight of taxpayers’ money, however the main thrust is calling for more EU money to be spent, more interference in Member States employment policies and more EU initiatives. UKIP believes only our elected national government should decide employment policy, not unaccountable EU institutions.
2016/11/22
CE marked fertilising products (A8-0270/2017 - Mihai Ţurcanu)

. – UKIP have voted against this legislative, first reading report as UKIP disagree with EU harmonisation and any attempts to strengthen the single market. UKIP voted in favour for any amendments which wished to increase phosphorus pentoxide levels to 80 mg/kg in order to protect British industry whilst keeping cadmium levels at a safe level. UKIP also voted in favour of any amendments which postponed the implementation of such limits, again in order to protect British interests.
2016/11/22
Information exchange on, and an early warning system and risk assessment procedure for, new psychoactive substances (A8-0359/2016 - Michał Boni)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted against this legislative first reading report. UKIP fully support the fight against drugs and recognise that tackling the issue in the EU will likely have positive repercussions in combatting illegal drugs within the UK. UKIP do not, however, support the inclusion of Europol within this proposed system. Moreover, the establishment of this system will cost the taxpayer approximately EUR 670 000. UKIP believe taxpayers’ money should be utilised more efficiently.
2016/11/22
Common Fisheries Policy: implementation of the landing obligation (A8-0285/2017 - Alain Cadec)

. – We opposed this legislative 1st reading vote as we oppose discards, the Common Fisheries Policy in toto, and the pretensions of the EU to determine what happens in what are and should be again UK waters.
2016/11/22
Renewing the approval of the active substance glyphosate (Objection pursuant to Rule 106) (B8-0567/2017)

. – UKIP MEPs have abstained on this motion for a resolution. UKIP support the highest possible level of protection of environment and human health. However, this control should be made by Member States and not by the unelected EU Commission.
2016/11/22
Authorisation of genetically modified maize 1507 (Objection pursuant to Rule 106) (B8-0568/2017)

. – UKIP MEPs have abstained on this motion for a resolution. UKIP support the highest possible level of protection of the environment and human health. However, this control should be made by Member States and not by the unelected EU Commission.
2016/11/22
Authorisation of genetically modified soybean 305423 x 40-3-2 (Objection pursuant to Rule 106) (B8-0570/2017)

. – UKIP MEPs have abstained on this motion for a resolution. UKIP support the highest possible level of protection of environment and human health. However, this control should be made by Member States and not by the unelected EU Commission.
2016/11/22
Authorisation of genetically modified oilseed rapes MON 88302 x Ms8 x Rf3 (Objection pursuant to Rule 106) (B8-0569/2017)

. – UKIP MEPs have abstained on this motion for a resolution. UKIP support the highest possible level of protection of environment and human health. However, this control should be made by Member States and not by the unelected EU Commission.
2016/11/22
Draft amending budget No 5/2017: financing for the European Fund for Sustainable Development and increasing the Emergency Aid Reserve (A8-0301/2017 - Jens Geier)

. – UKIP voted against this legislative budgetary decision. This vote, linked to the mobilisation of the Flexibility Mechanism vote, is in two parts and will increase the EU budget by EUR 297.8 million overall. The first part is the European Fund for Sustainable Development which will get EUR 275 million of this money for the creation of a new budget line which will be used to offer financial loans, grants and guarantees to foster private sector investment in countries outside Europe. The second part is to increase the Emergency Aid Reserve (EAR) by EUR 22.8 million from this money. The EAR is a ‘last resort’ financial instrument that is used to give aid to other countries. UKIP believes only our elected national government has the right to spend taxpayers’ money, not unaccountable EU institutions and thus we oppose all EU budget increases in principle.
2016/11/22
Mobilisation of the Flexibility Instrument to provide the financing for the European Fund for Sustainable Development (A8-0298/2017 - Jens Geier)

. – UKIP voted against this legislative budgetary decision. The Flexibility Instrument operates outside the normal budgetary ceilings, has a budget of EUR 471 million a year and is used as a way to spend more money on specific budget lines in order to circumvent normal budgetary spending limits. This vote, linked to the Draft Amending Budget 5 vote, is to transfer EUR 275 million from the Flexibility Mechanism to the newly-created European Fund for Sustainable Development (EFSD) budget line. The EFSD will be used to offer financial loans, grants and guarantees to foster private sector investment in countries outside Europe. UKIP believes that only our elected national government has the right to spend taxpayers’ money, not unaccountable EU institutions and thus we oppose all EU budget increases in principle.
2016/11/22
Reflection paper on the future of EU finances (B8-0565/2017)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative, non-binding resolution. This resolution is the EU Parliament’s reaction to the Commission's ‘reflection paper’ setting out different future options for the financing of the EU budget. The resolution calls for increases in the long-term EU budget (MFF), encourages a dedicated euro area budget, uses Brexit as an opportunity to end all rebates, and creates a new system of own resources where the EU collects more money itself, to take funding away from national contributions. The resolution goes on to criticise four of the five options in the Commission reflection paper as the EU rolling back its responsibilities and action, but goes on to give its full support to option 5 which would mean radically more EU power, spending and action. UKIP opposes a bigger budget and more power for the EU.
2016/11/22
Legitimate measures to protect whistle-blowers acting in the public interest (A8-0295/2017 - Virginie Rozière)

. – UKIP MEPs voted against this own-initiative report. It is important to ensure that, where necessary, the protection of whistle-blowers is maintained. However issues of this nature should remain purely within the remit of the Member State. The EU cannot look at an issue of this nature and propose a one-size-fits-all policy. It is important to ensure that transparency is maintained, especially within the EU institutions; however, this report was not solely about that.
2016/11/22
Minimum income policies as a tool for fighting poverty (A8-0292/2017 - Laura Agea)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative and non-binding report. We support economic and tax arrangements that support low-income workers as a principle but we cannot support this report. Many suggestions contained within would likely have a negative economic outcome and repeated calls for the use of EU taxpayer’s money and the creation of new EU level legislation is something we must vote against.
2016/11/22
Accessibility requirements for products and services (A8-0188/2017 - Morten Løkkegaard)

. – UKIP voted against this legislative report at first reading. Whilst making products and services more accessible to people with disabilities is a positive aim, UKIP believes that it is not for the EU to tell Member States how to legislate in this area. Additionally, UKIP disagrees with harmonisation attempts and efforts to create a single market. UKIP MEPs voted against a number of amendments tabled to this report. They voted for amendments which would remove microenterprises from the scope of the legislation. They voted against any amendments seeking to increase the scope of the legislation: for example, amendments to include ‘persons with functional limitations’ in the legislation, as this goes beyond what the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities sets out, and it is not for the European Union to go beyond this.
2016/11/22
EU-Chile Agreement on trade in organic products (A8-0257/2017 - Inmaculada Rodríguez-Piñero Fernández)

. – UKIP supported this legislative report whereby this agreement grants Chile the right to cancel the deal if it feels the EU is not upholding its end of the bargain. Given this is one of the rare occasions the EU has treated a trade partner as an equal, we supported this.
2016/11/22
Protocol to the EU-Chile Association Agreement (accession of Croatia) (A8-0277/2017 - Inmaculada Rodríguez-Piñero Fernández)

. – UKIP supported this legislative report. UKIP notes that this was a simple technical update to reflect that fact that Croatia is now an EU Member State. There was no need to oppose such a factual update, so we supported it.
2016/11/22
Modernisation of the trade pillar of the EU-Chile Association Agreement (A8-0267/2017 - Inmaculada Rodríguez-Piñero Fernández)

. – UKIP abstained on this non-legislative non-binding report, which notes that trade between Chile and the EU does not require freedom of movement of people, and it hopes that the Brexit negotiators on the EU side will be reminded of this. We abstained on this vote as we feel there is no need to interfere in trade.
2016/11/22
Multi-annual plan for demersal stocks in the North Sea and the fisheries exploiting those stocks (A8-0263/2017 - Ulrike Rodust)

. – UKIP voted against this legislative report. This would tie the UK into the common fisheries policy for the long term, deprive us of our own waters and is entirely against UK interests.
2016/11/22
Establishing an instrument contributing to stability and peace (A8-0261/2017 - Arnaud Danjean)

. – UKIP voted against this decision. We are concerned by the proposed further militarisation of the European Union and the lack of clarity in the legislation over what constitutes eligible military actors.
2016/11/22
Transparency, accountability and integrity in the EU institutions (A8-0133/2017 - Sven Giegold)

. – UKIP voted to abstain on this non-legislative own initiative report. It is extremely important that the EU institutions maintain a high level of transparency in order to ensure that it remains accountable. However, this is very much a report that has come about through closing the barn door after the horse has bolted. This report does not go far enough, there should be an independent body established in order to provide a relevant code of conduct that will ensure that all measures that are required to maintain integrity and transparency are met.
2016/11/22
The future of the Erasmus+ programme (B8-0495/2017)

. – UKIP voted against this non—legislative motion for resolution. We are against further calls for self-promotion and budget increases, which this resolution calls for in line with the next MFF negotiations. This is despite the programme already having had a 40% increase since the last programme, as well as admitting that the success rate remains low, with only 5% of young citizens having benefited from the programme. Currently Erasmus+ costs the taxpayer EUR 14.7 billion. UKIP believes that this exchange scheme is not cost effective; exchange schemes can be conducted outside of Erasmus+ in the UK.
2016/11/22
A new skills agenda for Europe (A8-0276/2017 - Martina Dlabajová, Momchil Nekov)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative and non-binding report. Whilst we share similar concerns with the balance of work skills and jobs in the market EU level action is unnecessary and unhelpful. These issues are best addressed by the UK government and private enterprise.
2016/11/22
Multilateral Agreement on the establishment of a European Common Aviation Area (ECAA) (A8-0260/2017 - Roberts Zīle)

. – UKIP MEP’s voted to abstain on this recommendation. Amongst other things this recommendation was amending the Multilateral Agreement to take into account the accession of several countries who are now members of the EU.
2016/11/22
Subjecting acryloylfentanyl to control measures (A8-0284/2017 - Brice Hortefeux)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted to abstain on this technically non-legislative report. The UK already considers this substance to be worthy of being listed as a Class A drug. Furthermore, the UK is not bound by this decision taken at EU level. UKIP believe that controlling the drug in the EU could be beneficial in combatting the drug being available in the UK.
2016/11/22
EU political relations with India (A8-0242/2017 - Cristian Dan Preda)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative and non-binding report. We do not support the development of any type of EU foreign policy. We look forward to reinvigorating the UK’s ties with our important Commonwealth partners following the UK’s exit from the European Union, on a bilateral basis, when we will able to, once again, negotiate our own trade agreements.
2016/11/22
Mobilisation of the EU Solidarity Fund to provide assistance to Italy (A8-0280/2017 - Giovanni La Via)

. – UKIP abstained on this legislative decision. This proposal is to give over EUR 1 billion to Italy to help in reconstruction efforts for earthquakes that occurred in 2016 and 2017. While of course UKIP opposes the EU spending any UK taxpayers' money, the amount given would be budget-neutral. It does not mean the UK has to give more money to the EU, nor would it mean the UK would get money back if this money wasn't given to Italy. The money will come from funds that had already been budgeted for. To be clear, this would not mean any additional funding is necessary from taxpayers. Additionally as this was for legitimate humanitarian reasons, UKIP felt it would be more responsible to abstain.
2016/11/22
Draft amending budget No 4/2017 accompanying the proposal to mobilise the EU Solidarity Fund to provide assistance to Italy (A8-0281/2017 - Jens Geier)

. – UKIP abstained on this legislative amending budget. This proposal is directly linked to the ‘mobilisation’ vote to give over EUR 1 billion to Italy for reconstruction efforts due to recent earthquakes. Whilst the other vote is concerned with the principle of giving the EUR 1 billion to Italy, this vote is to make sure that there is technically enough money in the correct budget-line to pay it. As it happens the EU Solidarity Fund (EUSF) does not have enough money in its budget-line to pay outright. The proposal here is to transfer some money from under used budget-lines, in to the EUSF. This would be budget-neutral and will not require additional funding from taxpayers.
2016/11/22
Mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund: application EGF/2017/002 FI Microsoft 2 (A8-0278/2017 - Petri Sarvamaa)

. – UKIP voted against this legislative decision. The proposal is to give over EUR 3.5 million to Finnish workers who have lost their jobs due to Microsoft downscaling its operation in the country. The money will go to areas such as retraining, job seeking, allowances for travel, start-up grants etc. UKIP voted against as we don’t believe UK taxpayers’ money should be used for poor economic decisions in other countries. This is nothing more than EU dole money.
2016/11/22
EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS): continuing current limitations of scope for aviation activities and preparing to implement a global market-based measure from 2021 (A8-0258/2017 - Julie Girling)

. – UKIP MEP’s have voted against this legislative report on aviation. UKIP believe that the EU Emission Trading System is a huge failure for the EU. It forces industries to comply with absurd standards dictated by the EU Commission’s obsession to limit global temperature below 2 degrees Celsius. The ETS has destroyed our Industry causing a considerable carbon leakage phenomenon. UKIP believe the only solution to this legislative chaos is to reject the EU energy policy together with the entire ETS system. Once out of the EU, the UK should be free from any EU legislation, including the emission trading scheme in the aviation sector.
2016/11/22
Inclusion of greenhouse gas emissions and removals from land use, land use change and forestry into the 2030 climate and energy framework (A8-0262/2017 - Norbert Lins)

. – UKIP MEPs voted against this legislative report on land use, land use change and forestry. UKIP rejects the Commission proposal. UKIP denies man—made climate change and believes that CO2 is not a pollutant. New legislation in this field would only bring further bureaucracy and economic damages to this sector. UKIP notes that forestry is not an EU competence.
2016/11/22
Uniform format for residence permits for third country nationals (A8-0065/2017 - Jussi Halla-aho)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted to abstain on this legislative report. UKIP fully support measures that seek to tackle illegal migrants being able to easily forge residence permits. We cannot, however, support EU legislation and EU harmonisation practices. For these reasons, UKIP voted to abstain on this report.
2016/11/22
Objection pursuant to Rule 105: Commission delegated regulation of 2 June 2017 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 609/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the specific compositional and information requirements for total diet replacement for weight control (B8-0497/2017)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted in favour of this motion for resolution, which opposes the Commission position. UKIP believe that the EU Commission’s draft delegated act, if adopted, would result in a lower standard of products being available to consumers.
2016/11/22
Objection pursuant to Rule 106: draft Commission implementing Regulation amending Commission implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/6 as regards feed and food subjected to special conditions governing the import of feed and food originating in or consigned from Japan following the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power station (B8-0502/2017)

. – UKIP MEPs have abstained on this motion for a resolution. UKIP support the highest possible level of protection of human health. However, this control should be made by Member States and not by the unelected EU Commission.
2016/11/22
Draft amending budget No 3/2017: budgetary resources of the Youth Employment Initiative; establishment plans of ACER and SESAR2 (A8-0282/2017 - Jens Geier)

. – UKIP voted against this legislative amending budget. The proposal has two elements to it. The first (and far more important) is that the budget ceiling for the EU ‘Youth Employment Initiative’ will be increased by an extra EUR 500 million. The second part is minor adjustments to staff posts in the EU decentralised agencies ‘ACER’ and ‘SESAR2’, however no extra staff will be awarded to them. UKIP voted against because we oppose unaccountable EU institutions spending taxpayers’ money. Only our elected and accountable national governments should decide employment policies.
2016/11/22
Arms export: implementation of Common Position 2008/944/CFSP (A8-0264/2017 - Bodil Valero)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative and non-binding report. Arms exports are an intricate part of government policy, linked with both economic well—being and foreign policy interests. Whilst we are concerned with aspects of UK Government policy, in particular regarding Saudi Arabia, there is no justification for the transfer of these powers to the EU which, following Brexit, will be a foreign power.
2016/11/22
EU political relations with Latin America (A8-0268/2017 - Javi López)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative and non-binding report. We do not support the development of any type of EU foreign policy.
2016/11/22
Corruption and human rights in third countries (A8-0246/2017 - Petras Auštrevičius)

. – UKIP abstained on this non-legislative and non-binding report. This report raises many important breaches of human rights and corruption of which we are concerned. However, we do not support the development of EU foreign policy or see any added value in EU action that cannot already be achieved by state or international level assistance.
2016/11/22
EU-Iceland Agreement on the protection of geographical indications for agricultural products and foodstuffs (A8-0254/2017 - David Borrelli)

. – UKIP voted to abstain on this legislative report. UKIP notes this deal between Iceland and the EU to allow EU products with geographical indicators to enjoy that status on the Icelandic market. We note that every two years the EU and Iceland meet to discuss whether current arrangements are satisfactory. This is a deal which both parties agreed to, and which has minimal impact on the UK. We have no desire to block this deal, so abstained.
2016/11/22
EU-Iceland Agreement concerning additional trade preferences in agricultural products (A8-0256/2017 - David Borrelli)

. – UKIP voted to abstain on this legislative report. UKIP notes this deal between Iceland and the EU to commit to lowering tariffs between the two parties in agricultural produce. We note that every two years the EU and Iceland meet to discuss whether current arrangements are satisfactory. Iceland's membership of the EEA means that agriculture and fisheries are not covered by usual EU free movement of goods. We do not wish to block this deal, so abstained.
2016/11/22
Implementation of the Mediation Directive (A8-0238/2017 - Kostas Chrysogonos)

. – UKIP have voted against this non-legislative, own initiative report. UKIP are against the EU interfering in the judicial process of Member States. The EU is looking to spend more money on training and promotion of mediation. Mediation is a very good idea and at present the UK has a very successful mediation process which is extremely beneficial and also alleviates cost; it would not be beneficial to support a report that is looking to increase costs.

The functioning of franchising in the retail sector (A8-0199/2017 - Dennis de Jong)

. – UKIP have voted against this non-legislative, own initiative report. UKIP believe that Member States should be allowed to decide their own laws on franchising in the retail sector and that the European Commission should not be called upon to act in this area.
2016/11/22
A Space Strategy for Europe (A8-0250/2017 - Constanze Krehl)

. – UKIP MEPs voted against this non-legislative report on the Space Strategy. UKIP is against a further increase in the EU budget for this purpose. UKIP remembers the very recent failure of the EU Galileo satellite that caused a considerable waste of European taxpayers’ money.
2016/11/22
Academic further and distance education as part of the European lifelong learning strategy (A8-0252/2017 - Milan Zver)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative non-binding report. UKIP opposes EU interference in the education systems of Member States. Whilst we support lifelong learning and accessibility for all in education, particularly in the digital age, we that believe this is solely an issue of national sovereignty. This report dictates how Member States and institutions should run and invest in their own education systems, which goes against the EU’s own treaties, as stipulated in Article 165 of the TFEU.
2016/11/22
Repeal of obsolete regulations with regard to inland waterway and road haulage sectors (A8-0228/2017 - Karima Delli)

. – UKIP voted for this legislative report. UKIP supports the repeal of unnecessary, obsolete and out—of—date regulations. It is about time that the EU institutions started to get rid of the burdensome red tape that is no longer relevant.
2016/11/22
Promotion of internet connectivity in local communities (A8-0181/2017 - Carlos Zorrinho)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted against this legislative report on WIFI4EU. UKIP understands and supports the importance of improved internet connectivity in our society. However, UKIP is against the financial implications of this project. UKIP is against this attempt at EU harmonisation and we believe that efforts to improve internet access and speed should be made at national level.
2016/11/22
Measures to safeguard the security of gas supply (A8-0310/2016 - Jerzy Buzek)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted against this legislative report on the safeguard of gas supply. UKIP believes that the EU should repeal its entire energy legislation. UKIP believes in secure and affordable energy. UKIP wants a stable regulatory system that fosters investment. UKIP wants reliable and affordable generating technologies, like coal, gas, nuclear and hydro, and UKIP wants an end to subsidies that punish consumers and taxpayers and distort markets.
2016/11/22
Whale hunting in Norway (B8-0499/2017)

. – UKIP MEPs abstained on this motion for a resolution. UKIP believes the practice of mass whale hunting in Norway is brutal and inhumane. However, UKIP believes that this issue should be solved internationally and not by the EU.
2016/11/22
EU accession to the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence (A8-0266/2017 - Christine Revault d'Allonnes Bonnefoy, Anna Maria Corazza Bildt)

. – UKIP MEPs voted against this non-legislative report. UKIP considers violence against women to be a truly abhorrent act and we fully support measures that aim to protect women from violence. With this in mind, UKIP fully supports the UK in its ongoing attempts to fully ratify the Istanbul Convention. UKIP do not, however, support EU accession to this Convention as we do not believe it has the competency to do so. Moreover, we also believe that this report asks the EU to go significantly further than what is outlined in the Convention. We believe that it should be the sole decision of national governments to propose measures that exceed the recommendations outlined in this Convention.
2016/11/22
Impact of international trade and EU’s trade policies on global value chains (A8-0269/2017 - Maria Arena)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative, non-binding report, as we feel the EU has no right to use trade as a political weapon with which to bully other countries. The EU has a long history of attempting to politicise trade and attaching clauses and demands in trade deals which are purely political in nature. We look forward to an independent Britain forging trade deals that do not include political and economic bullying.
2016/11/22
Rates of value added tax applied to books, newspapers and periodicals (A8-0189/2017 - Tom Vandenkendelaere)

. – The proposal will return some decisions on VAT to Member States (i.e. the UK rate of VAT on e-books could be reduced) and accordingly UKIP voted in favour.
2016/11/22
Internet connectivity for growth, competitiveness and cohesion: European gigabit society and 5G (A8-0184/2017 - Michał Boni)

. – Today UKIP voted against this own-initiative report. We are against new EU legislation and we oppose further harmonisation in this field.
2016/11/22
Protection of vulnerable adults (A8-0152/2017 - Joëlle Bergeron)

. – UKIP have abstained on this non-legislative report, because the needs of vulnerable adults must be ensured within the Member States. It is important that every Member State ratifies the Hague Convention; it really should not be up to the EU to put pressure on the Member States to force the ratification. Ratification of the Hague Convention should be done in a timely manner and when the Member States are in a position to do so.
2016/11/22
Uniform format for visas (A8-0028/2016 - Sylvia-Yvonne Kaufmann)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted to abstain on this legislative report. UKIP MEPs firmly support measures which are designed to combat illegal migration. We do, however, not support further EU harmonisation practices and EU legitimacy in issuing visas.
2016/11/22
Multiannual Framework for the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights for 2018-2022 (A8-0177/2017 - Angelika Mlinar)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted against this technically legislative report. UKIP fully support safeguarding fundamental rights but reject the need for an EU body, financed by the taxpayer, to conduct work that many national governments and NGOs already do.
2016/11/22
Multiannual Framework for the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights for 2018-2022 (B8-0384/2017)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted against this non-legislative motion for resolution. UKIP principally oppose the EU’s Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA), which is financed by the taxpayer, to conduct work that many national governments and NGO’s already do. This resolution seeks to expand the scope of this framework, so UKIP MEPs voted against.
2016/11/22
Digitising European industry (A8-0183/2017 - Reinhard Bütikofer)

. – Today UKIP voted against this own-initiative report. We are against new EU legislation and we oppose further harmonisation in this field.
2016/11/22
The new European Consensus on Development - our world, our dignity, our future (B8-0387/2017, B8-0390/2017)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted against the new Consensus on Development in this motion for a resolution. UKIP does not support the European Union trying to further harmonise development policy. The EU wants to see one development policy to override all of the 28 other development policies from the national governments. With this one line of vision the EU will have the authority to instruct nation states where to spend their taxpayer money as well as wanting to push for the further expansion of the influence of the Union though their ‘common vision, values and principles’. UKIP does not want the EU to have more influence and see the further harmonisation of policies and so for these reasons UKIP has voted against.
2016/11/22
Resilience as a strategic priority of the EU external action (B8-0381/2017)

. – UKIP MEPs voted against this motion for a resolution on resilience as a strategic priority of the external action for the EU. This document would like to see the 2013-2020 Action Plan for resilience fully implemented and it would like to promote ‘greater coherence between policies’. This would mean that the EU would like to see further integration of its policies in Member States and harmonisation throughout the European Union. In addition, the document has asked for ‘sufficient resources to be devoted to the promotion of resilience’. This means that the EU wants to put more money into failing and unsuccessful projects to promote resilience. UKIP does not support the EU wasting more money and for the further harmonisation of policies, and for these reasons UKIP voted against.
2016/11/22
Combating anti-semitism (B8-0383/2017, B8-0388/2017)

. – UKIP MEPs were permitted a free vote on this non-legislative resolution. UKIP firmly reject all forms of racism, including anti-Semitism. As some amendments concerned sensitive issues, such as the definition of ‘anti-Semitism’ and the right to criticise Israel, UKIP MEPs were permitted to vote based on their own conscience.
2016/11/22
High-level UN Conference to support the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 14 (UN Ocean Conference) (B8-0382/2017)

. – We opposed this non-legislative resolution because, like the common fisheries policy (CFP) itself, it would block development without delivering the conservation necessary to avoid the ‘tragedy of the commons’.
2016/11/22
Agreement between the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway on an EEA Financial Mechanism 2014-2021 (A8-0072/2017 - David Borrelli)

. – We voted against as we note with concern the EU’s attempts to economically bully its neighbouring countries and wanted to send a strong condemnation. We would warn the EU that such an attempt to bully the UK would be foolhardy for both parties, and look forward to an amicable deal between the UK and the EU concerning market access once Brexit is complete.
2016/11/22
The right funding mix for Europe’s regions: balancing financial instruments and grants in EU cohesion policy (A8-0139/2017 - Andrey Novakov)

. – UKIP MEPs voted against this non-legislative report. UKIP does not support the fact that more hard-earned tax-payer money is being thrown down the drain. The UK should have the right to spend its own money wherever it likes, without being directed by an unelected bureaucratic system which pumps vast amounts of money into failing projects. There is also the serious concern about the strong possibility of a repetition of the accumulated backlog of unpaid invoices. If the EU cannot control its finances with the money it already has, then why are national governments giving it more money? For these reasons UKIP voted against this report.
2016/11/22
Future perspectives for technical assistance in cohesion policy (A8-0180/2017 - Ruža Tomašić)

. – UKIP MEPs voted against this non-legislative report. UKIP does not support the growing influence that the EU is having through national governments, and now it wants to expand even further to the local and regional authorities. The EU has no legitimacy to be intervening in any country’s national affairs.In addition, the report advocated increased communication on, and visibility for, the results and successes achieved with the support of the ESI funds which, in the rapporteur’s eyes, could contribute to regaining citizens’ confidence and trust in the European project. UKIP does not agree with the EU gaining more influence over Member States and we do not want to see more money being wasted on the EU promoting itself. For these reasons UKIP voted against this report.
2016/11/22
Cross-border portability of online content services in the internal market (A8-0378/2016 - Jean-Marie Cavada)

. – UKIP voted against this Regulation as it will allow access to online content across the EU. It is discriminatory against people who are in the EU but their country of residence is not a Member State. This Regulation is calling for harmonisation of cross-portability rules across Member States and ensures that right holders and online service providers from different Member States are subject to the same rules. Harmonisation of copyright legislation is not practical. Furthermore if a one-off annual fee is payable it will not count as online content that can be included in this Regulation.
2016/11/22
Implementation of the EU-Korea Free Trade Agreement (A8-0123/2017 - Adam Szejnfeld)

. – I abstained on this report as, although I am in favour of free trade, the EU-Korea FTA will cease to apply to the UK once we leave the EU. I therefore felt abstention was the most appropriate vote.
2016/11/22
Achieving the two-state solution in the Middle East (RC-B8-0345/2017, B8-0345/2017, B8-0346/2017, B8-0347/2017, B8-0348/2017, B8-0352/2017, B8-0354/2017)

. – UKIP abstained on this non-legislative and non-binding resolution. UKIP supports international and regionally led initiatives to find a viable solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict as long as the sovereignty and integrity of Israel is maintained. However, we do not support any foreign-policy role for the European Union, or the two Common Security and Defence Policy missions in the region.
2016/11/22
EU Strategy on Syria (RC-B8-0331/2017, B8-0331/2017, B8-0333/2017, B8-0335/2017, B8-0337/2017, B8-0338/2017, B8-0341/2017, B8-0342/2017)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative and non-binding resolution. We are appalled at the longevity of the war in Syria and the human suffering this is causing. We support measures to bring a genuine and long-lasting resolution to the war. However we remain firmly against the development of an EU foreign policy.
2016/11/22
Road transport in the European Union (B8-0290/2017)

. ‒ UKIP voted against this motion for a resolution, which covers infrastructure, competition, technological development and workers’ rights, among other things.The main problem here is the belief expressed in the resolution that the obstacles in the EU road transport sector are due to legal and bureaucratic complexities, and that these should be addressed in order to free up the movement of goods and services. The report advocates harmonisation, failing to recognise that the rules Member States have in place in relation to the acceptance of goods and workers are there for a reason.Furthermore, the resolution calls on the Commission to examine ways of reducing the bureaucratic and financial burdens of national legislation in order to facilitate the freedom to provide transport services across the EU. The Commission needs to take a hard look at itself before it turns to any examination of national legislation.
2016/11/22
Dadaab refugee camp (RC-B8-0300/2017, B8-0300/2017, B8-0332/2017, B8-0334/2017, B8-0336/2017, B8-0339/2017)

. – UKIP abstained on this non-legislative and non-binding resolution. The Dadaab refugee camp represents the difficult balance in offering support for genuine refugees and providing for the security of a state’s own citizens. Ultimately this issue is an internal one for Kenya.
2016/11/22
Making relocation happen (B8-0340/2017, B8-0343/2017, B8-0344/2017)

. – UKIP MEPs voted against this non-legislative motion for resolution. UKIP believes that asylum and immigration policy should be decided by national governments. UKIP MEPs also reject calls in this report for the Commission to conduct infringement proceedings against Member States which are not meeting relocation targets set by the EU.
2016/11/22
Implementation of the Council's LGBTI Guidelines, particularly in relation to the persecution of (perceived) homosexual men in Chechnya, Russia (B8-0349/2017, B8-0349/2017, B8-0350/2017, B8-0351/2017, B8-0353/2017, B8-0355/2017, B8-0356/2017)

. – UKIP abstained on this on non-legislative and non-binding resolution. Whilst we share concerns at the gross breaches of human rights and the persecution that this report addresses we cannot support EU action on these issues.
2016/11/22
Mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund: application EGF/2016/008 FI/Nokia Network Systems (A8-0196/2017 - Petri Sarvamaa)

. – UKIP voted against this budgetary vote to give over EUR 2.6 million to 821 Finnish workers who have lost their job. This is nothing more than EU dole money. British taxpayers’ money shouldn’t be used to pay for poor economic decisions in other countries.
2016/11/22
Annual report 2014 on subsidiarity and proportionality (A8-0114/2017 - Sajjad Karim)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative report because we cannot support a report that welcomes subsidiarity and proportionality whilst in the same sentence acknowledges that they should be considered integral parts of the EU’s policy making process, UKIP does not agree with any part of EU policy making. In one sentence it seems that it is calling for national parliaments to have a greater say in EU policy making but effectively it is nothing more than an empty gesture leading to the negation of parliamentary sovereignty.
2016/11/22
FinTech: the influence of technology on the future of the financial sector (A8-0176/2017 - Cora van Nieuwenhuizen)

. – This non-legislative report calls on the Commission to take further control of financial markets and their regulation; accordingly UKIP voted against.
2016/11/22
Automated data exchange with regard to vehicle registration data in Croatia (A8-0171/2017 - Claude Moraes)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted to abstain on this technically non—legislative report. UKIP support the cooperation between nations to combat terrorism and crime, but oppose this having to be done via the European Union. UKIP would prefer these agreements to be conducted on a bilateral basis.
2016/11/22
Objection to a delegated act: Identifying high-risk third countries with strategic deficiencies (B8-0294/2017)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted to abstain on this legislative report. UKIP MEPs would normally support an objection to a Commission delegated act. On this occasion, however, the report specifically includes calls for the Commission to propose a new delegated act. UKIP MEPs feel that regardless of this rejection the Commission will ultimately still pass a delegated act.
2016/11/22
Situation in Hungary (B8-0295/2017, B8-0296/2017)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative and non-binding resolution. We believe that the full sovereignty of states should be respected; the intrusiveness of the European Union’s criticism, and calls for action against Hungary, run contrary to that concept. In particular, we are concerned about the inclusion of paragraph 7 in the resolution and the launch of Article 7(1) TEU against Hungary.
2016/11/22
European Qualifications Framework for lifelong learning (B8-0298/2017)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative and non-binding resolution. Education qualifications and certification should be a matter for individual states and we see no beneficial role unique to the European Union.
2016/11/22
Protocol to the EU-Mongolia Framework Agreement on Partnership and Cooperation (accession of Croatia) (A8-0074/2017 - Helmut Scholz)

. – UKIP voted against giving consent to this protocol. We do not support the expansion of the European Union, the facilitation of this in EU legislation or EU agreements with third countries.
2016/11/22
EU-Bosnia and Herzegovina Stabilisation and Association Agreement (accession of Croatia) (A8-0169/2017 - Cristian Dan Preda)

. – UKIP voted against giving consent to this protocol. We do not support the expansion of the European Union, the facilitation of this in EU legislation or EU agreements with third countries.
2016/11/22
EU-Norway Agreement on supplementary rules in relation to the instrument for financial support for external borders and visa (A8-0174/2017 - Tomáš Zdechovský)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted against this technically legislative report. UKIP does not support further financial payments to EU bodies who have been assigned control of the EU’s external borders.
2016/11/22
EU accession to the International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC) (A8-0187/2017 - Fernando Ruas)

. – We voted against this legislative report. Firstly, we object to the EU becoming a member of international bodies in its own right, as it would enable to the EU to bully other countries. Secondly, we note that the concept of the EU joining bodies in its own name is conferred by powers under the Lisbon Treaty, which the EU forced on the people of Europe without their consent.
2016/11/22
EU eGovernment action plan 2016-2020 (A8-0178/2017 - Sabine Verheyen)

. – UKIP MEPs voted against this non-legislative report. UKIP believe that, whilst there may be some benefits for advancing the digitalisation of public sector bodies, this should be an exclusive competence of national governments and does not require EU funding or harmonisation practices.
2016/11/22
Annual report 2015 on the protection of EU's financial interests - Fight against fraud (A8-0159/2017 - Julia Pitera)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative, non-binding report; even though the figures and criticisms are very useful, the solution it offers is that to combat the fraud there needs to be more EU legislation and power. The report highlights that the cost of known fraudulent and non-fraudulent irregularities in the budget amounts to over EUR 3 billion. It states that the ECB estimates that the cost of counterfeiting since the euro was set up in 2002 amounts to approximately EUR 500 million. The report criticises the Commission for the increases in irregularities and that the Commission no longer seems to want to publish an EU anti-corruption report anymore. However the solutions offered by the report call for more EU legislation and action on VAT, own resources and support for a European Public Prosecutor’s Office. The ultimate way to end fraud in the EU budget is to get rid of an EU budget altogether. UKIP voted against as we oppose calling for any more EU legislation and because we fundamentally disagree with the EU spending and wasting any taxpayers’ money.
2016/11/22
Resource efficiency: reducing food waste, improving food safety (A8-0175/2017 - Biljana Borzan)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative report because not only do we deny climate change hysteria, but we also reject further EU legislation. Food waste is an issue that needs to be addressed by Europe and the world. However, we believe that national parliaments should monitor food safety issues without the creation of further EU legislation.
2016/11/22
Evaluation of external aspects of customs performance and management as a tool to facilitate trade and fight illicit trade (A8-0162/2017 - Tiziana Beghin)

. – We voted to abstain on this own initiative report, as we do not wish to interfere in any measure that could combat fraud and illicit trade.
2016/11/22
EU trade mark (A8-0054/2017 - Tadeusz Zwiefka)

. – UKIP voted against this legislative report, as it is wishing to create harmonisation with regards to trade marks. Furthermore the original text calls for an office to be responsible for the harmonisation which will have full legal, administrative and financial autonomy
2016/11/22
Minamata Convention on Mercury (A8-0067/2017 - Stefan Eck)

. – UKIP is concerned of the adverse effects of mercury on human and animal health – in humans, mercury affects mostly the central nervous system and the kidneys. Acute inhalation, dermal exposure and chronic exposure are proved to be extremely damaging to human health. This is why UKIP abstained on this Recommendation.
2016/11/22
Hybrid mismatches with third countries (A8-0134/2017 - Olle Ludvigsson)

. – The proposal is part of a package linked with harmonisation of taxes and the Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base, accordingly UKIP voted against on this technically non-legislative report.
2016/11/22
Agreement on Operational and Strategic Cooperation between Denmark and Europol (A8-0164/2017 - Agustín Díaz de Mera García Consuegra)

. – UKIP MEP’s have voted to abstain on this technically non-legislative report. UKIP fully respects the will of the Danish people who chose to have less involvement with Europol. UKIP do, however, oppose calls in this report to exhaust all legal possibilities to invite Denmark to be full members of Europol. This without doubt seeks to undermine the democratic will of the Danish people.
2016/11/22
Structural Reform Support Programme for 2017-2020 (A8-0374/2016 - Lambert van Nistelrooij, Constanze Krehl)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted against this legislative report. UKIP does not support the Structural Reform Support Programme that has been put in place to strengthen the capacity of Member States to design and implement growth-enhancing administrative and structural reforms. The EU has no right to be intervening in national state affairs and in addition this vanity project costs the taxpayer EUR 142 million at current prices for the programme. In addition, the EU wants to see the further harmonisation of programmes and policies throughout the Union. For these reasons, UKIP voted against this report.
2016/11/22
European Year of Cultural Heritage (A8-0340/2016 - Mircea Diaconu)

. – UKIP voted against this legislative report, we oppose the use of taxpayers money for another unnecessary scheme to promote the EU.
2016/11/22
Union programme to support specific activities in the field of financial reporting and auditing (A8-0291/2016 - Theodor Dumitru Stolojan)

. – This legislative vote on regulation will increase the 2014-2020 budget for the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group to 57m euros, accordingly UKIP voted against.
2016/11/22
Union programme to enhance the involvement of consumers in financial services policy making (A8-0008/2017 - Philippe Lamberts)

. – This legislative vote on regulation will increase funding by 6m euros for the period 2017-2020, accordingly UKIP voted against.
2016/11/22
Management of fishing fleets in the outermost regions (A8-0138/2017 - Ulrike Rodust)

. – We opposed this non-legislative report as it would lead to more subsidy, which we see as a misuse of taxpayers’ money.
2016/11/22
EU flagship initiative on the garment sector (A8-0080/2017 - Lola Sánchez Caldentey)

. – UKIP MEPs voted to abstain on this non-legislative report. UKIP does not support the Commission developing a monitoring system which encompasses data collection. The EU has no right to be intervening in national affairs. However, the report does talk about greater transparency and traceability of garments and it is calling on the Commission to promote gender equality, women’s empowerment and children’s rights. Although the report calls on the Commission a lot, it is centred around human rights, and more specifically children’s rights, and for this reason UKIP abstained.
2016/11/22
State of play of farmland concentration in the EU: how to facilitate the access to land for farmers (A8-0119/2017 - Maria Noichl)

. – We opposed this non-legislative proposal as the report is neither sound economic analysis nor a good use of taxpayers’ money.
2016/11/22
Annual report on the financial activities of the European Investment Bank (A8-0121/2017 - Georgios Kyrtsos)

. – This non-legislative non-binding report, suggests that the EIB should consider demanding more capital from shareholders (i.e. more money from the UK and other Member States) and calls on the Commission and Member States to increase the budget for external lending. Accordingly UKIP voted against it.
2016/11/22
Implementation of the Mining Waste Directive (A8-0071/2017 - György Hölvényi)

. – UKIP believes it is important to protect human health and the environment from the improper management of waste facilities that could give rise to major accidents. We believe that measures, procedures and guidance to prevent and reduce adverse effects on the environment and human health resulting from the management of extractive waste should be established by national parliaments. That is why UKIP abstained on this non-legislative report.
2016/11/22
Situation in Venezuela (RC-B8-0270/2017, B8-0270/2017, B8-0271/2017, B8-0272/2017, B8-0274/2017, B8-0275/2017, B8-0276/2017, B8-0277/2017)

. – UKIP abstained on this non-legislative and non-binding resolution. Whilst we are concerned at the ongoing political instability and civil unrest in the country, we cannot endorse EU action, increased involvement of the VP/HR or the sending of a Parliamentary delegation.
2016/11/22
Wholesale roaming markets (A8-0372/2016 - Miapetra Kumpula-Natri)

. – UKIP voted against the EU legislative report on wholesale roaming markets. We are against regulatory intervention on pricing in what are supposed to be free markets. We do not believe that this will benefit consumers, as it is claimed. Operating companies will seek to recover margin and revenue elsewhere, and this will be regressive: while saving costs for well-heeled business travellers it is likely to increase costs for lower-intensity users.
2016/11/22
Third countries whose nationals are subject to or exempt from a visa requirement: Ukraine (A8-0274/2016 - Mariya Gabriel)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted against this legislative first reading report. UKIP proposed a rejection amendment to this report to reject the proposal completely, but this was not supported by the parliament. UKIP principally do not support the EU concluding visa free agreements with third countries, particularly when the country in question has such a large population.
2016/11/22
European Solidarity Corps (B8-0238/2017)

. – UKIP MEPs voted against this non-legislative motion for resolution. We oppose such schemes being conducted at the expense of the taxpayer, which are used to promote the EU. Furthermore, not only is this a duplication of current voluntary schemes already in place; there is also severe lack of clarity as to how this scheme is being funded, despite the fact that the first volunteer has been ‘deployed’ on a project, there is no specific budget line or allocation.

Adequacy of the protection afforded by the EU-US privacy Shield (B8-0235/2017, B8-0244/2017)

. – UKIP MEPs have abstained on this non—legislative motion for resolution. On the one hand UKIP supports the principles of the resolution to protect personal data, however we cannot support more EU interference in national policies and non-EU countries’ laws.
2016/11/22
Negotiations with the United Kingdom following its notification that it intends to withdraw from the European Union (RC-B8-0237/2017, B8-0237/2017, B8-0241/2017, B8-0242/2017, B8-0243/2017)

. – Article 50 does not make provision for the European Parliament to have any input into the withdrawal negotiations. In reference to the European Parliament it merely says that the final withdrawal agreement requires the ‘consent of the European Parliament’, and that is to be by a simple majority vote.UKIP does not accept that the Article 50 route is the way the UK should leave the EU. UKIP does not accept the legitimacy of the European Parliament to have a say in the negotiating of the Withdrawal Agreement.The fact that UKIP submitted amendments to the Resolution, and voted on it, does not indicate our tacit or implied approval of the Resolution or the Parliament's right to participate in the Article 50 process.UKIP submitted amendments to, and voted on, the Resolution only in order to make specific points about the withdrawal process, and so that the British public can see where we stand on these issues.
2016/11/22
Certain aspects of company law (A8-0088/2017 - Tadeusz Zwiefka)

. – UKIP voted against this codification vote because it was amending an existing piece of legislation which would affect company law. It is for the Member States to determine what aspects of company law best suit their judicial systems.
2016/11/22
Ratification and accession to the 2010 Protocol to the Hazardous and Noxious Substances Convention with the exception of aspects related to judicial cooperation in civil matters (A8-0076/2017 - Pavel Svoboda)

. – UKIP voted against this because it is forcing all 28 Member States to ratify and accede to the 2010 Protocol in connection with the Carriage of Hazardous & Noxious Substances by sea. This is a matter for individual Member States to decide and should not be forced into doing.
2016/11/22

2016/11/22
Medical devices (A8-0068/2017 - Glenis Willmott)

. – UKIP supported an amendment to reject new EU legislation on medical devices. The role of medical devices is of exceptional importance. This sector has a fundamental role in the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring and treatment of diseases. We agree with the effectiveness of unannounced controls on the production site as well as the importance of increased transparency. However, we believe that the best legislator is the government of the country that faces these problems.

In vitro diagnostic medical devices (A8-0069/2017 - Peter Liese)

. – UKIP supported an amendment to reject new EU legislation on medical devices. The role of medical devices is of exceptional importance.

2016/11/22
Money market funds (A8-0041/2015 - Neena Gill)

. – By restricting the investment products that Money Market Funds can acquire for their portfolio, the EU is not only restricting freedom of contract but also adding to concentration counterparty risk and may produce asset bubbles in certain asset classes. Accordingly UKIP voted to reject the proposals.
2016/11/22
Prospectus to be published when securities are offered to the public or admitted to trading (A8-0238/2016 - Petr Ježek)

. – The proposal will authorise the Commission to issue delegated acts and increases the powers of the EU regulator, ESMA. Accordingly UKIP voted against.
2016/11/22
Multiannual financial framework for 2014-2020 (A8-0110/2017 - Jan Olbrycht, Isabelle Thomas)

. – UKIP voted against the budgetary proposal as it will expand some of the financial instruments that the EU can use to spend taxpayer’s money outside the normal budget limits. Money to be used by these instruments will now be allowed for ‘migration and security’ reasons. The Global Margin for Payments budget will be increased for 2019 (+ EUR 2 billion) and 2020 (+ EUR 3 billion). The Emergency Aid Reserve will get an extra EUR 20 million (so now a budget of EUR 300 million a year). The Flexibility Instrument will be increased by an extra EUR 129 million (so now a budget of EUR 600 million a year), but also the Commission will be compelled to calculate and increase the amount available for this instrument each year. For the ‘global margin for commitments for growth and employment, in particular youth employment’, migration and security will be added for which money can be spent, but also the text limiting what years extra money can be used is removed – so now any money left over from a budget ceiling from any year can be used for this instrument.
2016/11/22
Multiannual financial framework for 2014-2020 (Resolution) (A8-0117/2017 - Jan Olbrycht, Isabelle Thomas)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative, non-binding motion for a resolution because it supported the proposal to expand some of the financial instruments that the EU can use to spend taxpayer’s money outside the normal budget limits. The resolution also included a number of ‘joint statements’ by the Council and EU Parliament regarding political commitments to increase some other budget lines.
2016/11/22
Mobilisation of the Contingency Margin (A8-0104/2017 - Jan Olbrycht, Isabelle Thomas)

. – UKIP voted against this budgetary proposal as it will allow the use of more money in future years. Back in 2014 the EU needed extra money so they used the ‘Contingency Margin’ to mobilise EUR3.1 billion for 2014. A payment plan for this money of around 900 million would come out of the future budgets 2018, 2019 and 2020. However in 2017 it is found there is over EUR 9 billion available for payments in the budget. So the proposal here is to change the payment plan for the 2018-2020 years, and just pay it all off from the 2017 budget. UKIP are voting against because the original decision will, in theory, reduce the ceilings for future budgets - whereas the new proposal will let them pay it all off now allowing them to use the full budget ceilings for future years. The money involved has already been mobilised and used, nothing can be done about that now - the only decision in this vote, is whether it should be paid back in 2017, or spread out over 2018-2020 as originally intended.
2016/11/22

2016/11/22
Addressing refugee and migrant movements: the role of EU External Action (A8-0045/2017 - Elena Valenciano, Agustín Díaz de Mera García Consuegra)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted against this non-legislative report. UKIP does not support the EU trying to harmonise the external policies of Member States into one policy for the whole of the EU. The EU wants yet more money from Member States to support yet more harmonisation.
2016/11/22
Characteristics for fishing vessels (A8-0376/2016 - Werner Kuhn)

. – We opposed this legislative report as the EU uses precise definitions and resulting data, not as an objective management tool, but to assert its power and impose control.
2016/11/22
Approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles (A8-0048/2017 - Daniel Dalton)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted against this legislative report. UKIP do not support EU legislation which harmonises rules across Europe and gives further powers to the Commission. UKIP also rejected calls in this report for the establishment of a new EU body, the European Vehicle Surveillance Agency.
2016/11/22
Palm oil and deforestation of rainforests (A8-0066/2017 - Kateřina Konečná)

. – Yesterday UKIP abstained on the non-legislative report on palm oil. The Malaysian rainforest is the only place in the world where elephants, tigers and rhinos co-exist, as well as being the home of orang-utans, and these species are facing extinction due to mass deforestation caused by palm oil being grown on a huge industrial scale. Nothing can live on palm oil plantations due to it being a monoculture. However, we oppose a single EU certification and we would prefer national parliaments to take decisions on this issue.
2016/11/22
Women and their roles in rural areas (A8-0058/2017 - Marijana Petir, Maria Lidia Senra Rodríguez)

. – We opposed this non-legislative, own initiative report because the EU does not understand that true equality involves equal treatment, not favouring some over others and adding to the bureaucratic burden.
2016/11/22
Draft recommendation following the inquiry into emission measurements in the automotive sector (B8-0177/2017)

. – UKIP believe that national parliaments should be responsible for all investigations related to maladministration in the application of environmental law. We oppose the legitimacy of EU bodies investigating Member States.
2016/11/22
EU-Lebanon Euro-Mediterranean Agreement (accession of Croatia) (A8-0027/2017 - Ramona Nicole Mănescu)

. – UKIP voted against giving consent to this protocol. We do not support expansion of the European Union or the facilitation of this on European legislation.

2016/11/22
Information exchange mechanism with regard to intergovernmental agreements and non-binding instruments in the field of energy (A8-0305/2016 - Zdzisław Krasnodębski)

. – UKIP voted against this legislative report. The report’s priority is to reach secure, affordable and sustainable energy. However, for many years EU climate and energy policies have directly contradicted these objectives. This proposal shows how the EU Commission keeps reiterating the same mistakes.
2016/11/22
Obligations in the field of visa reciprocity (B8-0173/2017)

. – UKIP MEPs have voted to abstain on this non-legislative resolution. This report only impacts the visa arrangements for Member States who participate in the Schengen agreement.
2016/11/22
Options for improving access to medicines (A8-0040/2017 - Soledad Cabezón Ruiz)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative report. We in UKIP understand the sensitivity of the issues addressed in this report. However, we are firmly against new EU legislation and we believe that this topic should fall within the competence of national parliaments.
2016/11/22
Implementation of the Creative Europe programme (A8-0030/2017 - Silvia Costa)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative non-binding report. We oppose the existence of the financial guarantee facility of EUR 120 million from the EIF. We further oppose the calls in this report to introduce new initiatives and to increase budgets in order to sustain them.
2016/11/22
Implementation of the Europe for Citizens programme (A8-0017/2017 - María Teresa Giménez Barbat)

. – UKIP voted against this non-legislative, non-binding report. We are inherently against the use of taxpayers’ money for a scheme that has a budget of EUR 185 million to promote the EU. We further oppose any call for an increase in budget for it.
2016/11/22
Common Commercial Policy in the context of wildlife sustainability imperatives (A8-0012/2017 - Emma McClarkin)

. – UKIP does not wish to stand in the way of any measure which aims to tackle trade in products derived from endangered species. Whilst the EU’s track record of protecting animals and their rights is somewhat jaded, we nevertheless did not wish to oppose this, so we abstained, confident it would pass through the Parliament.

Amendment 32 #

2016/0404(COD)

Proposal for a directive
Recital 1
(1) The freedom to choose an occupation is a fundamental right. The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union guarantees the freedom to choose an occupation, as well as the freedom to conduct a business. The free movement of workers, freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services are fundamental principles of the internal market enshrined in the Treaty. National rules organising access to regulated professions should therefore not constitute any unjustified and disproportionate obstacle to the exercise of those fundamental rights. However, the national rules of a Member State must always be respected and take priority over any EU legislation.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 5
(5) The results of the mutual evaluation process revealed a lack of clarity as regards the criteria to be used by national competent authorities when assessing the proportionality of requirements restricting access to or pursuit of regulated professions, as well as uneven scrutiny of such measures at all levels of regulation. To avoid fragmentation of the internal market and eliminate barriers to taking-up and pursuit of certain employed or self- employed activities, it is therefore necessary to establish a common approach at Union level, preventing disproportionate measures from being adopted.deleted

2016/0404(COD)

Proposal for a directive
Recital 8
(8) Member States should be able to rely on a commotheir own regulatory framework based on clearly defined legal concepts concerning the different ways to regulate a profession across the Unionwithin their own Member State. There are several ways to regulate a profession, for instance by reserving access to or the pursuit of a particular activity to holders of a professional qualification. National provisions may also regulate one of the modes of pursuit of a profession in laying down conditions for the use of professional titles.
2017/06/01
Committee: JURI
Amendment 44 #

2016/0404(COD)

Proposal for a directive
Recital 12
(12) Where the taking-up and pursuit of certain employed or self-employed activities are conditional on complying with certain provisions relating to specific professional qualifications, laid down directly or indirectly by the Member States, it is necessary to ensure that such provisions are justified by public interest objectives, such as those within the meaning of the Treaty, namely public policy, public security and public health or by overriding reasons of general interest, recognised as such in the case- law of the Court of Justice. It is important to ensure that public interest objectives are adequately identified in order to determine the intensity of the regulation. For example, in order to ensure a high level of protection of public health, Member States should enjoy a margin of discretion to decide on the degree of protection which they wish to afford to public health and on the way in which that protection is to be achieved. It is also necessary to clarify that among the overriding reasons of general interest, recognised by the Court of Justice, are preserving the financial equilibrium of the social security system; the protection of consumers, recipients of services and workers; the safeguarding of the proper administration of justice; fairness of trade transactions; combating fraud and prevention of tax evasion and avoidance; road safety; the protection of the environment and the urban environment; the health of animals; intellectual property; the safeguarding and conservation of the national historic and artistic heritage, social policy objectives and cultural policy objectives. According to settled case-law, purely economic reasons, having essentially protectionist aims, as well as purely administrative reasons, such as carrying out controls or gathering statistics cannot constitute an overriding reason of general interest.deleted

2016/0337(CNS)

Proposal for a directive
Recital 1
(1) Companies which seek to do business across frontiers within the Union encounter serious obstacles and market distortions owing to the existence and interaction of 28 disparate corporate tax systems. Furthermore, tax planning structures have become ever-more sophisticated over time, as they develop across various jurisdictions and effectively take advantage of the technicalities of a tax system or of mismatches between two or more tax systems for the purpose of reducing the tax liability of companies. Although those situations highlight shortcomings that are completely different in nature, they both create obstacles which impede the proper functioning of the internal market. Action to rectify those problems should therefore address both types of market deficiencies.

2016/0336(CNS)

Proposal for a directive
Recital 8
(8) The revenue from withholding taxes on interest and royalty payments should be shared in accordance with the formula for the apportionment of the consolidated tax base of the tax year in which the withholding tax is due, in order to compensate for the fact that interest and royalty payments would have previously led to a deduction and the benefit would have been shared by the group. The revenue from withholding taxes on dividends, however, should not be shared. Contrary to interest and royalty payments, dividends are distributed from profits which have already been subjected to corporate taxation and therefore, a dividend distribution does not involve, for group members, any benefit consisting in a deduction of business expenses. Any payments due should be paid to the Member State and not the EU;
2017/05/15
Committee: JURI
Amendment 30 #

2016/0336(CNS)

Proposal for a directive
Recital 10
(10) The formula apportionment for the consolidated tax base should comprise three equally weighted factors, namely labour, assets and sales by destination. Those equally weighted factors should reflect a balanced approach to distributing taxable profits amongst the relevant Member States and not the EU and should ensure that profits are taxed where they are actually earned. Labour and assets should therefore be allocated to the Member State and not the EU where the labour is performed or the assets are located, and would thereby give appropriate weight to the interests of the Member State of origin, whilst sales should be allocated to the Member State of destination of the goods or services. To account for differences in the levels of wages across the Union and thus allow for a fair distribution of the consolidated tax base, the labour factor should comprise both payroll and the number of employees (i.e. each item counting for half). The asset factor, on the other hand, should comprise all fixed tangible assets, but not intangible and financial assets because of their mobile nature and the resulting risk that the rules of this Directive could be circumvented. Where, due to exceptional circumstances, the outcome of the apportionment does not fairly represent the extent of business activity, a safeguard clause should provide for an alternative method of income allocation.

(8) The transnational and cross-border co-operation and the support to all organisations operating for EURES in Member States would be facilitated by a structure at Union level ('the European Coordination Office') that should provide common information, training activities, tools and guidance. That structure should also be responsible for the development of the 'European Job Mobility portal' (EURES portal), the common IT platform. To guide its work, multiannual work programmes should be developed in consultation with Member States.deleted

Recital 11
(11) The composition of the EURES network as regards other organisations than the ones above should be flexible to adjust to changing developments on the market for recruitment services. The emergence of a variety of employment services coupled with the reshaped role of the PES relating to national recruitment services points towards the need for a concerted effort by Member States and the European Commission to open up the EURES network, as the main Union tool delivering intra-Union recruitment services.deleted

Recital 35
(35) Since the objective of this Regulation - namely to establish a common framework for cooperation between Member States to bring together job vacancies and the possibility of applying for those job vacancies and to facilitate the achievement of a balance between supply and demand in the employment market - cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States, and can therefore, by reason of the scale and effect of the action, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty of the European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in said Article 5, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve that objective.deleted

(36) The power to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in order to ensure that the obligations imposed on the Member States for the authorisation of the organisations to join the EURES network as EURES Partners and to provide common indicators on the performance of those organisations can be amended in light of the experiences gained with their application or to take into account evolving needs on the labour market. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level. The Commission, when preparing and drawing-up delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and Council.
