Supply chain due diligence by importers of minerals and metals originating in conflict-affected and high-risk areas (A8-0141/2015 - Iuliu Winkler)

The EU should not draw up a list of Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas, but rather provide companies with the tools they need in a handbook.I generally support the proposal for Regulation of the Commission towards more effective level of the EU supply chain for these minerals.Like the rapporteur I welcome the accompanying measures foreseen in the accompanying communication to promote high levels of participation and hope that not only these measures can be implemented in parallel with the Regulation, but that Parliament will also be kept informed of their implementation.I believe the SMEs should be put in a position to participate in the EU system if they want to be part of the avant-garde, but let’s not force them. I support the view that also in this respect the Commission is right to choose for the voluntary approach. With the right incentives and assistance, as foreseen in the accompanying measures, SMEs can be convinced to participate out of their free will and in line with their business logic.

Union framework for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries sector (A8-0150/2016 - Marco Affronte)

. ‒ I agree that the Member States should determine the way they collect data, but in order to be able to combine data on a regional level in a meaningful way, minimum requirements for data quality, coverage and compatibility should be agreed by Member States, taking into account the fact that, in some regions, sea areas are managed jointly with third countries which have sovereignty or jurisdiction over waters in those regions.Strengthening regional cooperation, in line with the regionalisation of the CFP, is one of the objectives and in that respect it is necessary to harmonise procedures for data collection, analysis and availability to end-users in the various marine regions. For the sake of simplification and rationalisation, and to avoid duplication of data collection, the information to be collected should be selected on the basis of its value, the demand for it and the impact analysing it could have.

Constitutional, legal and institutional implications of a Common Security and Defence Policy: possibilities offered by the Lisbon Treaty (A8-0042/2017 - Esteban González Pons, Michael Gahler)

I agree that CSDP should be an effective, structured common policy that generates an added value, and not a mere sum of the national policies of the Member States or their lowest common denominator. Two thirds of EU citizens surveyed would like to see more EU engagement through Member States’ commitment in matters of security and defence policy. Member States should seek how to adopt the decision on common defence in accordance with their respective constitutional requirements. To support this, the report advocates the establishment of a standing ‘defence matters’ working group of members of the Commission, to be chaired by the VP/HR.
2016/11/22
An integrated EU policy for the Arctic (A8-0032/2017 - Urmas Paet, Sirpa Pietikäinen)

. ‒ The report marks a positive step towards an integrated EU policy on Arctic matters, identifying specific areas of action, and towards developing a more coherent framework for focused EU action.Rising temperatures and melting sea ice affect the ecosystems worldwide by raising sea levels. This changes the composition of the sea mass and creates unpredictable weather patterns. Without effective action, the pace of climate change might accelerate even more in the future, affected by the melting of permafrost in the Arctic region. In this context, I agree with the rapporteur that channelling European structural and investment funds (ESIF) to measures for mainstreaming climate action in the Arctic, taking into account the local circumstances and special nature of the Arctic regions, is of the essence.Finally, I see scope in corporate social responsibility for the activities of companies doing business in the Arctic region.

2016 Report on Montenegro (A8-0050/2017 - Charles Tannock)

. ‒ Montenegro has achieved steady progress in the accession negotiations: so far 26 chapters have been opened for negotiations and two chapters have been provisionally closed. I agree with the call to the Council to speed up negotiations with Montenegro and encourage the opening and closing of further chapters in the accession negotiations in 2017. However, it should be made amply clear that conclusions should always respect human rights and fundamental freedoms in accordance with international obligations.Like the rapporteur, I am concerned about continued gender-based domestic and sexual violence, and the lack of prosecutions and proper sentencing of perpetrators in line with international standards. There is still insufficient support and protection for victims. Adequate protection services should be put in place, enhancing relevant inter-institutional coordination and making effective use of the new unified database on cases of domestic violence.

e-Democracy in the EU: potential and challenges (A8-0041/2017 - Ramón Jáuregui Atondo)

I am a firm believer that e-democracy tools can help foster more active citizenship by improving participation, transparency and accountability in decision-making. It brings with it more knowledge about the EU in order to give the citizens more voice in political life. Ways of how to create online platforms so that members of the public can systematically be consulted before the European legislator takes decisions should be speeded up because the people feel the urge to get involved more directly in public life irrespective of the form, be it e-parliament, e-initiatives, e-voting, e-petitions, e-consultations and so on.The development of complementary forms of engagement capable of contributing to mitigating the growth of public disaffection with traditional politics should be explored. As the report states, the scope of having this platform is enshrined in the principle of institutional openness, complying with the combination of real-time transparency and informed participation.It is the ideal way of engaging young people in political debate, an opportunity to make best use of ICT in democratic procedures to suit the connectivity purpose.

EU-Brazil Agreement: modification of concessions in the schedule of Croatia in the course of its accession (A8-0052/2017 - José Ignacio Salafranca Sánchez-Neyra)

The EU will incorporate in its schedule for the customs territory of the EU modifications related to tariff rate quotas on raw sugar and poultry meat. I agree we should grant consent to the conclusion of the Agreement even if the agreement is not about new concessions but compensations. There is an element of sensitiveness of the products under consideration for the whole EU agricultural sector which has raised some concerns. The relevant sectors have complained about the lack of involvement and consultation from the Commission during such negotiations which could have an impact on their future competitiveness on the EU market. We need to see to this more in the future to ensure that all stakeholders are appropriately consulted.

Launch of automated data exchange with regard to vehicle registration data in Denmark (A8-0051/2017 - Maria Grapini)

2016/11/22
Launch of automated data exchange with regard to DNA data in Greece (A8-0053/2017 - Claude Moraes)

Use of the 470-790 MHz frequency band in the Union (A8-0327/2016 - Patrizia Toia)

I see scope in harmonising at EU level the allocation of frequencies, to provide businesses and citizens with universal high-speed wireless connectivity. The EU can negotiate internationally with a single voice, also in view of the rapid evolution of the sector and the social, economic, cultural and technological aspects affecting the use of the band or any part of it. By 2020, according to some statistics, mobile Internet traffic will increase by eight times compared to today, therefore, the capacity of the networks needs to be strengthened. The spectrum in the 700 MHz frequency band provides additional capacity and universal coverage, in particular for rural and remote areas, which are challenging in terms of the cost of investment in infrastructure. This is a must in an era where Internet of Things, Cloud, and mobile communication services, the digitisation of industrial sectors (Industry 4.0) and improvement of the efficiency of government departments (e-government) are rapidly increasing. Innovative services for citizens and businesses should be supported through national roadmaps in order to fulfil their obligations relating to the repurposing of the 700 MHz frequency band for wireless broadband.

Obstacles to EU citizens’ freedom to move and work in the Internal Market (B8-0179/2017)

I believe that several petitions raised concerns about the different obstacles encountered by EU citizens in exercising their freedom of movement. I support the removal of any discriminatory practices and unnecessary barriers from their rules for EU citizens and their family members, including non-EU family members, so that they benefit from the entry and residence rights in their territories. Concurrently, there are social rights which would facilitate labour mobility in the EU. As emphasised in the motion, social security rights should be enjoyed without discrimination against permanent, seasonal or cross-border workers and by those who pursue their activities for the purpose of providing services.

Guidelines for the 2018 budget - Section III (A8-0060/2017 - Siegfried Mureşan)

2018 will be the fifth year of the multiannual framework, bearing an important role played by the EU budget in delivering concrete answers to the challenges the EU is facing.I agree with the rapporteur in saying that Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) must aim at objectives which bring real added value to the Member States and should not be used to finance projects marked by controversy. The Commission should ensure a focused level of funding in 2018 to tackle the root causes of the current migratory and refugee crisis and the corresponding humanitarian challenges. Concurrently, the EU needs to step up its role through investment in the countries of origin of the migratory flows. This requires the Commission to design a roadmap to tackle the migratory crisis in an effective way.I agree with the rapporteur that a certain level of flexibility is required to ensure that the core priorities of the EU budget are retained, establishing synergies with other financial instruments where necessary to lead to better results.

Responsible ownership and care of equidae (A8-0014/2017 - Julie Girling)

We need to attribute greater EU-level acknowledgement to the equid sector and its benefits for the rural economy, which makes a significant contribution to the EU’s general and strategic objectives. There is scope for getting this sector incorporated, to a greater extent, into the various CAP. Given that approximately 900 000 jobs are generated solely by the equestrian sports industry, with other statistics pointing to five to seven equidae creating one full-time job, and that those jobs, which are not relocatable, are in what are now economically vulnerable rural areas, the scope of this report is worth approving.We have the opportunity to make our breeding sector more competitive and better organised and to improve available information on purebred breeding and on purebred breeding animals, in particular equidae.The Commission and the Member States should fully and properly commit to inspections and to conduct regular audits of the slaughterhouses on their territory that are licensed to take equidae. In this way we ensure that they are able to meet the specific welfare needs of equidae, particularly in terms of facilities and qualification of staff.

Long-term shareholder engagement and corporate governance statement (A8-0158/2015 - Sergio Gaetano Cofferati)

I support greater involvement of shareholders in companies’ corporate governance as one of the levers that can help improve the financial and non-financial performance of those companies. Nevertheless, since shareholder rights are not the only long-term factor which needs to be taken into consideration in corporate governance, they should be accompanied by additional measures to ensure a greater involvement of all stakeholders, in particular employees, local authorities and civil society. This provision should cover large companies and large groups which do not have shares admitted to trading on a regulated market, given that they also do business which has a major impact. As advocated by the report, this would establish a high degree of transparency with regard to costs of services provided by intermediaries.In order to prevent price discrimination of cross-border and not just domestic share holdings, any differences in the costs levied between domestic and cross—border exercise of rights should be duly justified and should reflect the variation in actual costs incurred for delivering the services provided by intermediaries.Mandatory reporting in this area can therefore be seen as an important element of the corporate responsibility of companies to shareholders and society.

An integrated approach to Sport Policy: good governance, accessibility and integrity (A8-0381/2016 - Hannu Takkula)

Sport plays a prominent role in the life of millions of EU citizens. Amateur and professional sport is not merely a matter of athletic abilities, sporting achievements and competitions, but also brings a significant social, educational, economic, cultural and unifying contribution to the EU’s economy and society. Considering that sport-related employment has been estimated at the equivalent to 3.51 % of total EU employment, and the share of sport-related gross value added at EUR 294 billion (2.98 % of total EU gross value added), we need to ensure that good governance would be in place, effective and transparent and provide structures with the participation of stakeholders.One important point is that minor athletes must be protected from abusive practices such as third-party ownership. Fighting corruption in sport requires transnational efforts and cooperation among all stakeholders, including public authorities, law enforcement agencies, the sports industry, athletes and supporters. We should seek the possibility of creating a code of conduct in the areas of good governance and integrity in sport. This should include sports management projects and also the Erasmus+ programme.

Cross-border aspects of adoptions (A8-0370/2016 - Tadeusz Zwiefka)

Member States should take all necessary measures for the well-being of the child throughout the entire legal proceedings, providing the child with the protection and care needed for his or her harmonious development. Greater cooperation between the responsible authorities for follow-up assessments are necessary, and in this respect I join the rapporteur in calling on the EU to maintain a consistent approach to children’s rights across all of its major internal and external policies.I also agree that a European Certificate of Adoption should be created to speed up any administrative query over automatic recognition. Because children who have been put up for adoption should not be the property of a state, but individuals with internationally recognised fundamental rights.
2016/11/22
Bilateral safeguard clause and stabilisation mechanism for bananas of the EU-Colombia and Peru Trade Agreement (A8-0277/2016 - Marielle de Sarnez)

I agree that the Commission should refer the matter to Parliament again if it intends to amend its proposal substantially. The EU is the biggest market, accounting for roughly a third of global exports, with a global consumption in 2015 amounting to 5.8 million tonnes, and demand has been rising in recent years. This means that European imports which originate mainly from Central and Latin American countries need to be further nurtured. Hence the agreement between the EU and Colombia and Peru, along with Ecuador, and the agreement establishing an association between the EU and Central America should put in place protective mechanisms to prevent mass imports from one or more of those countries which destabilise the European market from harming EU producers.Impact assessments should therefore be drawn up and used systematically prior to the negotiation of international trade agreements. Changes need to be made to ensure that the applicable procedure is faster and simplified in order to improve the information flow among the Commission, the Member States and the European Parliament, in particular by including an early warning when 80% of the trigger volumes are exceeded and by establishing a price observatory.

Sustainable management of external fishing fleets (A8-0377/2016 - Linnéa Engström)

. ‒ Fishing activities should be environmentally, economically and socially sustainable and be managed consistently with the objectives of achieving economic, social and employment benefits, and contributing to the availability of food supplies.Procedures should be simplified and, as far as possible, made faster and more flexible, particularly when it comes to renewing the licences of those vessels whose status has not changed from one year to another.Also, the Union has several ‘dormant agreements’ with third countries. Union vessels are not allowed to fish in waters under the dormant agreements. Like the rapporteur, I believe that the Commission should make an effort to ‘wake up’ those agreements or else should terminate them.Finally, when the possibility of withdrawing, suspending or modifying a fishing authorisation is raised, on account of evidence of serious threats to the exploitation of fishing resources, I agree that the Commission should play a mediating role.
2016/11/22
Third countries whose nationals are subject to or exempt from a visa requirement: Georgia (A8-0260/2016 - Mariya Gabriel)

I agree that the Commission should refer the matter to Parliament again if it intends to amend its proposal substantially. It is positive to note that Georgian authorities proposed new legislative initiatives and further continued undertaking reforms. I therefore welcome the interest demonstrated by the Georgian government to enhance the cooperation with European Police Office (Europol), for example, as a positive sign towards a significant contribution to the effective countering of organised crime.I believe that the conclusion of a visa waiver is significant for Georgian citizens who will benefit greatly from it. The visa liberalisation will contribute to the deepening of people-to-people contacts and facilitate travelling to the EU, stepping up economic and cultural relations and intensifying political dialogue on various issues, including human rights and fundamental freedoms.

Rule of law crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo and in Gabon (RC-B8-0120/2017, B8-0120/2017, B8-0121/2017, B8-0122/2017, B8-0123/2017, B8-0124/2017, B8-0125/2017, B8-0126/2017)

I deplore the failure of the Congolese Government to hold the presidential election within the constitutional deadline. I join the rapporteur in his reiteration of calls for the successful and timely holding of elections, in full accordance with the Congolese Constitution and the African Charter on Democracy, Elections and Governance. It is the Congolese Government’s responsibility to guarantee an environment conducive to transparent, credible and inclusive elections as soon as possible.I am also concerned by the political crisis in Gabon and the unfolding violence between protesters and security forces following the proclamation of the preliminary results of the 2016 presidential election. Because of this, like the rapporteur I join his call urging the Gabonese authorities to take all necessary measures to guarantee in all circumstances respect for democracy, the rule of law, good governance and human rights principles, including freedom of expression and freedom of the press.

Implementation of Erasmus + (A8-0389/2016 - Milan Zver)

. ‒ Unfortunately, Erasmus+ funding can at times be unattainable for smaller organisations. I believe that bureaucracy and reporting requirements should be simplified so that smaller, inexperienced and non-professional applicants are not placed at a considerable disadvantage. Around half of the national agencies consider the new programme to be more complicated to implement.I would like to see more recognition of volunteer time as co-financing in the form of contributions in kind. Moreover, I deplore the fact that some students must take out bank loans in order to take part in Erasmus+ programmes because, to me, indebtedness has a negative impact on personal development.Finally, the rapporteur is aware of the fact, that after less than three years of programme implementation, a fully-fledged quantitative and qualitative assessment of Erasmus+ cannot be delivered. Having said that, I welcome the IT action plan presented by the Commission which aims at helping to overcome the day-to-day difficulties through further improvement of the relevant IT tools. I join the rapporteur in urging the Commission to focus on their improvement instead of developing new tools.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 21 a (new)
(21 a) Given the existence of divergences between collective management practices across Member States and creative and cultural sectors, a solution needs to be provided for where licencing mechanisms are not effective solutions because of, for example a lack of collective licensing or the fact that no collective management organisation has been able to achieve recognition in a Member State or for a sector. In such instances, where licensing mechanisms are lacking, it is necessary to provide for an exception that allows cultural heritage institutions to make out of commerce works held in their collection available online on their own secure technology networks. Yet in doing so, it is also necessary to provide authors with the possibility to provide licenses or to form a collective management organisation as well as to involve them in the determination of whether such licences are available or not. In addition, rightholders should be able to object to the inclusion of their work on the secure technology networks of the cultural heritage institutions.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 18
(18) In order to ensure the cross-border portability of online content services it is necessary to require that online service providers enable their subscribers to use the service in the Member State of their temporary presence by providing them access to the same content on the same range and number of devices, for the same number of users and with the same range of functionalities as those offered in their Member State of residence. This obligation is mandatory and therefore the parties may not exclude it, derogate from it or vary its effect, except in cases where providing online content service portability is based on the physical constraints of an external product and would involve the online content service provider entering into and concluding separate contractual relations with a third-party manufacturer. Any action by a service provider which would prevent the subscriber from accessing or using the service while temporarily present in a Member State, for example restrictions to the functionalities of the service or to the quality of its delivery, would amount to a circumvention of the obligation to enable cross-border portability of online content services and therefore would be contrary to this Regulation.

Considering that for the purposes of the check what matters is not the precise location, but rather the subscriber’s temporary presence in another Member State while accessing the service, data on precise location or any other personal data should not be collected and processed for this purpose. The sole aim of this check should be to establish whether a subscriber is accessing the online content service within or outside his or her Member State of residence, and how often. Where an online content service provider has doubts as to a subscriber’s Member State of residence, it ought to have the power to ask the subscriber to produce a document or documents that prove his or her Member State of residence, in accordance with the list of criteria laid down in this Regulation. In order to be effective, this method of checking should only be used as a long-term method. In addition, if an online content service provider were to choose to rely on this method of checking, it should inform the subscriber of this fact in advance, in accordance with Directives 95/46/EC and 2002/58/EC and Regulation (EU) No 2016/679. ______________________ 1aDirective 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (OJ L 281, 23.11.1995, p. 31). 1b Directive 2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 July 2002 concerning the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector (Directive on privacy and electronic communications) (OJ L 201, 31.7.2002, p. 37). 1cRegulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation) (OJ L 119, 4.5.2016, p. 1).

(29) Since the objective of this Regulation, namely the adaptation of the legal framework so that cross-border portability of online content services is provided in the Union, cannot be sufficiently achieved by Member States andbut can therefore, by reason of its scale and effects, 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 on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve itsthat objective. Therefore, this Regulation does not substantially affect the way the rights are licensed and does not oblige right holders and service providers to renegotiate contracts. Moreover, this Regulation does not require that the provider takes measures to ensure the quality of delivery of online content services outside the Member State of residence of the subscriber. Finally, this Regulation does not apply to service providers who offer services without payment of money and who do not verify the subscriber's Member State of residence. Therefore, it does not impose any disproportionate costs,

Article 3 a (new)
Article 3a Verification methods 1. Providers of online content services provided in return for payment and providers of online content services provided free of charge who have opted to provide a service in accordance with Article 3a shall use effective verification methods to check the Member State of residence of their subscribers. These methods must be reasonable and must not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve this purpose. 2. The rights holders or those holding any other rights in the content of an online content service may authorise access to this content and use of it without verification of the subscriber’s Member State of residence within the context of this Regulation, provided that the online content service provider has obtained the right to incorporate that content in its service in all Member States. 3. In order to comply with the obligation laid down in paragraph 1, online content service providers shall use one or more verification criteria selected from among those listed below. If it considers that it is not possible to identify reliably and officially a subscriber’s Member State of residence using just one of these criteria, the online content service provider may rely on a combination of the verification criteria listed below: (a) an identity card, electronic identity card or any other valid document confirming the subscriber’s Member State of residence; (b) bank details such as the bank account or credit or debit card of the subscriber in his Member State of residence; (c) the place of installation of a decoder or any similar equipment used by the subscriber to access the services concerned; (d) an internet or telephone service supply contract or any similar type of contract linking the subscriber to a Member State; (e) the payment by the subscriber of a licence fee for other services provided in the Member State, such as public service broadcasting; (f) the payment of local taxes, if the information concerned is publicly available. 4. The online content service provider and the rights holders may decide to rely on any other verification criterion that has been agreed in advance between them, provided that this criterion offers at least the same level of security as those listed in paragraph 3 and does not undermine the contract in force. 5. In order to check that a subscriber is making appropriate use of the portability service, an online content service provider shall have the option to rely on a random verification of the subscriber’s IP address during the contract, with the sole aim of identifying whether the subscriber is accessing the online content service within or outside his or her Member State of residence, and how often. Under no circumstances may an online content service provider store or process the data on the precise location of its subscribers. 6. The provider of an online content service shall be entitled to request a subscriber to provide the information needed to verify his Member State of residence. If the subscriber decides not to provide the information required by an online content service provider in order to verify the subscriber’s Member State of residence, the provider shall have the right not to offer him portability of his online content services as provided for in Article 3(1) for so long as he is unable to verify the subscriber's Member State of residence by means of the criteria listed in Article 3b(2). 7. The rights holders or those holding any other rights in the content of an online content service shall be informed of the verification process used by the service provider to verify the Member State of residence of a subscriber.

For this reason Member States should ensure that related party transactions representing more than 5 % of the companies’ assets or transactiontransactions with related parties which can have a significant impact on profits or turnover should be submitted to a vote by the shareholders in a general meeting. Where the related party transaction involves a shareholder, this shareholder should be excluded from that vote. The company should not be allowed to conclude the transaction before the shareholders’ approval of the transaction. For significant transactions with related parties that represent more than 1% of their assets companies should publicly announce such transactions at the time of the conclusion of the transaction, and accompany the announcement by a report from an independent third party assessing whether the transaction is on market terms and confirming that the transaction is fair and reasonable from the perspective of the shareholders, including minority shareholders. Member States should be allowed to exclude transactions entered into between the company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Member States should also be able to allow companies to request the advance approval by shareholders for certain clearly defined types of recurrent transactions above 5 percent of the assets, and to request from shareholders an advance exemption from the obligation to produce an independent third party report for recurrent transactions above 1 percent of the assets, under certain conditions, in order to facilitate the conclusion of such transactions by companies.

(5) Increasing the threshold up to EUR 10,000 for claims pursued against a legal person would be particularly beneficial for small and medium enterprises, which are currently discouraged from considering court action because under national ordinary or simplified procedures the costs of litigation are disproportionate to the value of the claim and/or the judicial proceedings are too lengthy. Raising the threshold would improve access to an effective and cost efficient judicial remedy for cross-border disputes involving Small and Medium Enterprises. Increased access to justice would enhance the trust in cross- border transactions and contribute to the fullest use of the opportunities offered by the internal market. In this Regulation the term of 'legal person' shall be defined so as to cover a group of persons who associate or a group of things which are appropriated to achieve a lawful purpose and are endowed with legal personality in accordance with the law of the Member State in which they are domiciled. or: In this Regulation the term of 'legal person' should be defined so as to cover a group of persons who associate or a group of things which are appropriated to achieve a lawful purpose and are endowed with legal personality in accordance with the rules of jurisdiction established in Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 of 22 December 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters.

However, oral hearings may be held exceptionally where it is not possible to render the judgment on the basis of the written evidence provided by the parties. Furthermore, in order to safeguard the procedural rights of the parties, an oral hearing should always be organised upon the request of at least one of the parties where the value of the claim pursued against a legal person exceeds EUR 5,000, or the value of the claim pursued against a natural person exceeds EUR 2,000. Finally, courts should seek to reach a settlement between the parties and therefore, where the parties declare their willingness to reach a court settlement, the court should organise an oral hearing for this purpose.
