Amendment 34 #

2008/2055(INI)

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9
9. Confirms its position of March 2007 in which it stressed that "the political link between the reform of revenue and a review of expenditure is inevitable and perfectly reasonable"; believes that the two processes should be run in parallel with the aim to merge in a global and integrated reform for a new system of EU financing and spending at the latest in 2015, - which would be objectively fair for all Member States - which would imply that the preparatory work is done beforehand;

Amendment 43 #

2008/2055(INI)

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11
11. Stresses that matching political priorities and financial needs should remain a priority for the coming years; and that this objective should be pursued through prior identification of positive and negative priorities rather than through self- imposed ceilings, so therefore believes that the MFF should have a greater degree of flexibility;

Amendment 1 #

2008/2053(INI)

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
3. Considers that the five-year strategic objectives of the Commission, ultimately the political base for its overall programming, and their annual translation into the Annual Policy Strategy (APS), should be much better linked with the Multi-annual Financial Frameworks (MFF), with a view to streamlining the timing and adoption of these into one coherent strategy with the corresponding resources and therefore believes that the MFF should itself be of five years' duration;
2009/02/16
Committee: BUDG
Amendment 4 #

2008/2053(INI)

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
12. Considers that it is a serious shortcoming that, until now, the APS, and the parallel budgetary information feeding into the PDB, have introduced new priorities without identifying any "negative priorities" and that, in consequence, the whole cycle tends to add one priority after another without taking any political decision as to issues that, given the limited resources available from the tax-payer, need to be scaled down in order to give way to the most crucial priorities; stresses that this is in clear contradiction of the basic principles of the reform; notes, however, that the strict limits of the MFF leave very little room for manoeuvre;
2009/02/16
Committee: BUDG
Amendment 5 #

2008/2053(INI)

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
13. Takes note of the proposals to improve the coherence between Annual Management Plans and the Activity Statements published with the PDB so that the administrative burden of the SPP process is reduced while maintaining the link between objectives and measured "outputs"; believes that the Annual Management Plan needs to be reformed and that the public part of the it should be merged with the Activity Statement; asks the Commission to act swiftly;

2008/2025(BUD)

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
5. Expresses its conviction that the European Union must be equipped with the level of resources necessary to fully implement its current policies and activities and at the same time to have enough flexibility to meet new policy challenges to the extent that these require EU budgetary support;

Committee: BUDG
Amendment 8 #

2008/2024(BUD)

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
5. Takes note that the European Commission, in its Communication on the Annual Policy Strategy for 2009, has presented its political priorities with a clear focus on climate change and sustainable Europe; recalls and regrets, however, that the margins available under the different expenditure ceilings of the multiannual financial framework (MFF) restrict the room for manoeuvre to finance new priorities such as those proposed by the Commission without jeopardising old ones;
2008/03/12
Committee: BUDG
Amendment 13 #

2008/2024(BUD)

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
6. Is deeply concerned that, for 2009, the Commission has already embarked on a re- prioritisation exercise, especially in those headings of the MFF which have a particularly small margin; admits that, eventually, some re-assessment of EU activities might become unavoidable since, in times when resources are scarce, it may not remain feasible simply to add new priorities without phasing out old ones; stresses, however,stresses that any decisions on re-prioritisation shall be taken by Parliament and Council and not be pre- empted by the Commission;

Amendment 35 #

2008/0100(COD)

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5
(5) Following the request of the European Parliament, a new regulatory approach has been introduced in the Community vehicle legislation. This Regulation should therefore lay down only fundamental provisions on vehicle safety and CO2 and noise emissions from tyres whereas the technical specifications should be laid down by implementing measures adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999, as amended by Decision 2006/512/EC, laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission.

Amendment 36 #

2008/0100(COD)

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6
(6) In particular the Commission should be empowered to establish the specific procedures, tests and requirements for the type-approval of motor vehicles, components and separate technical units. In addition, the Commission should be empowered to define more precisely the physical characteristics and performance requirements tyres must fulfil to be defined as “Off-road professionalspecial tyre” or “special use tyre”, “snow tyre” or “mud and snow tyre”, “reinforced tyre” and “extra load tyre”. The Commission should also be empowered to define the precise scope of application of the requirements set out in this Regulation. In addition, the Commission should be empowered to set out additional safety requirements for vehicles intended for the transport of dangerous goods by road within or between Member States. Furthermore, subject to technical and economic feasibility, the Commission should be empowered to extend mandatory installation of Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems and other advanced safety features to other categories of vehicles than those initially covered. The Commission should also be empowered to establish specific procedures, tests and technical requirements for the type-approval of advanced vehicle systems other than those mentioned in this Regulation and to amend the limit values on rolling resistance and rolling noise for tyres as a result of changes in the test procedures, without lowering the existing ambition level with regard to the environment. Since those measures are of a general scope and are designed to amend this Regulation by supplementing it with new non-essential elements, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.

Amendment 43 #

2008/0100(COD)

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 9
(9) It is appropriate to establish the principle that vehicles must be designed, constructed and assembled so as to minimise the risk of injury to the vehicle occupants and to other road users. For this purpose, it is necessary that manufacturers ensure that vehicles comply with the relevant requirements set out in this Regulation. These provisions should include, but not be limited to, requirements relating to vehicle structural integrity, systems to aid the driver’s control of the vehicle, systems to provide the driver with visibility and information on the state of the vehicle and the surrounding area, vehicle lighting systems, vehicle occupant protection systems, the vehicle exterior and accessories, vehicle masses and dimensions, vehicle tyres, and advanced vehicle systems and miscellaneous items. In addition, it is necessary that vehicles comply with specific provisions relating to certain goods vehicles and their trailers, or specific provisions relating to buses, as the case may be.

Committee: IMCO
Amendment 44 #

2008/0100(COD)

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10
(10) The timetable for the introduction of specific new requirements for the type- approval of vehicles should take into account the technical feasibility of those requirements. In general, the requirements should initially apply only to new types of vehicle. Existing types of vehicle should be allowed an additional time period to comply with the requirements. Furthermore, mandatory installation of Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems should initially apply only to passenger cars. Mandatory installation of other advanced safety features should initially apply only to heavy goods vehicles.
2008/11/18
Committee: IMCO
Amendment 48 #

2008/0100(COD)

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12
(12) It is appropriate to implement the measures announced in the Communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament “Results of the review of the Community Strategy to reduce CO2 emissions from passenger cars and light-commercial vehicles” aimed at reducing CO2 emissions from tyres. This reduction should be achieved through a combination of low rolling resistance tyres and the use of Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems. At the same time, it is also appropriate to set out requirements aimed at reducing tyre-road noise and ensuring that tyre safety levels are maintained through the introduction of wet grip requirements. The related implementation timetable should reflect the degree of challenge in meeting all of those requirements and the need to give priority to safety. In particular, due to the challenge in meeting the requirements on rolling noise and taking into account the time needed by industry for replacing existing lines of tyres, it is appropriate to provide for a longer period for implementation of rolling noise requirements with regard to new tyres of existing types.

Amendment 50 #

2008/0100(COD)

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12 a (new)
(12a) It is not the purpose of this Regulation to restrict the placing on the market of tyres produced before the dates of entry into force of the new technical requirements which can thus be sold off from stocks subsequent to those dates, but only for a further 12 months. The date of manufacture of tyres can easily be recognised by the existing mandatory marking of the “date of manufacture” on the tyre, as stipulated by Council Directive 92/23/EEC of 31 March 1992 relating to tyres for motor vehicles and their trailers and to their fitting.
