Rise of neo-fascist violence in Europe (RC-B8-0481/2018, B8-0481/2018, B8-0482/2018, B8-0483/2018, B8-0486/2018, B8-0488/2018) PL

. – Zdecydowanie sprzeciwiam się agresji i aktom nienawiści, a zwłaszcza przemocy fizycznej w życiu społecznym i politycznym. Mój kraj – Polska, od zawsze sprzeciwiał się obydwu totalitaryzmom, a Polacy za walkę z nimi zapłacili najwyższą cenę. Uważam jednak, iż tego typu rezolucja nie powinna stać się pretekstem do osiągania celów politycznych w starciu pomiędzy skrajną lewicą i prawicą. Nie akceptuję jednostronnych, wybiórczo dobranych przykładów z Polski, często o charakterze prowokacji, fałszujących obraz mego kraju. Zawsze uważałem, że nadmierna polityczna ingerencja w sprawy suwerennych państw jest sprzeczna z wartościami głoszonymi przez Unię Europejską. W związku z powyższym głosowałem przeciw tej rezolucji. Pragnę podkreślić iż, zarówno w rezolucji, jak i w poprawkach przywołuje się przykłady bez szerszego kontekstu, czego dowodem jest poprawka nr 2 sugerująca jakoby 11 listopada w Marszu Niepodległości uczestniczyło 60 000 demonstrantów głoszących ksenofobiczne hasła. Sprzeciwialiśmy się takiej narracji w wydaniu Guya Verhofstadta i sprzeciwiamy się jej także teraz, zwłaszcza w kontekście zbliżającego się święta 100-lecia odzyskania przez Polskę niepodległości. Podejmowanie działań w walce z jakimkolwiek ekstremizmem czy przemocą to wyłączna kompetencja państw członkowskich i na przykładzie chociażby Polski widać, iż nie ma przyzwolenia na wszelkie próby promowania faszyzmu czy komunizmu, co wielokrotnie podkreślał minister Brudziński.

(12) Small -scale fisheries play an important role in the Union, from a biological, economic and social perspective. Considering the possible impacts of small -scale fisheries on stocks, it is important to controlheck that the fishing activities and fishing efforts of smaller vessels are in compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy. For this purpose it is necessary to obtain the position data of those vessels. Therefore, Member States should be able to track all fishing vessels, including fishing vessels which are less than 12 metres' length. For these vessels 12 metres' length it is now possible to use mobile devices which are less expensive and easy to useit is sufficient to use apps that can be downloaded to fishermen’s mobile phones. This will make it possible to promote the socio-economic interests of the fisheries concerned, providing funding where necessary via the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund, subsidies, financial instruments or InvestEU.

In order to allow the proper control of the landing obligation, it is necessary to equip, on the basis of a risk assessment, a certain percentage of fishing vessels should be equipped with continuous recording electronic monitoring devices including Close Circuit Televisions (CCTV). CCTV data may be supplemented by data from other electronic monitoring devices. Data from these devices, including from CCTV, will provide Member State officials with means tosuch as fishing activity sensors or catch-mass estimation systems in order to estimate the difference between the weight of the catch and the weight of the products that are landed. Close Circuit Televisions (CCTV) could be used, on a voluntary basis, in order to demonstrate control compliance with the landing obligation at sea. The CCTV footage should only concern the gears and the parts of the vessels where fishery products are brought on board, handled and stored. Footage from CCTVThese systems should be recordgistered locally and should be made available exclusively to Member States officials or Union inspectors upon requests, in particular in the context of inspections, investigations or audits. __________________ 31Regulation (EU) 2015/812 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2015 amending Council Regulations (EC) No 850/98, (EC) No 2187/2005, (EC) No 1967/2006, (EC) No 1098/2007, (EC) No 254/2002, (EC) No 2347/2002 and (EC) No 1224/2009, and Regulations (EU) No 1379/2013 and (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council, as regards the landing obligation, and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1434/98 (OJ L 133, 29.5.2015, p. 1).

(3a) The proclamation states that the Principles should be implemented at both Union level and Member State level within their respective competences, taking due account of different socio- economic environments and the diversity of national systems, and in accordance with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality. At Union level, the European Pillar of Social Rights does not entail an extension of the Union’s powers and tasks as conferred by the Treaties. It should be implemented within the limits of those powers. The European Pillar of Social Rights respects the diversity of the cultures and traditions of the peoples of Europe, as well as the national identities of the Member States and the organisation of their public authorities at national, regional and local levels.

The verification of the legal right of residence should be carried out in accordance with the requirement of Directive 2004/38/EC. For these purposes, an economically inactive citizen should be clearly distinguished from a jobseeker whose right of residence is conferred directly by Article 45 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. In order to improve legal clarity for citizens and institutions, a codification of this case law is necessary. (5b) Member States should ensure that economically inactive EU mobile citizens are not prevented from satisfying the condition of having comprehensive sickness insurance cover in the host Member State, as laid down in Directive 2004/38/EC. This may entail allowing such citizens to contribute in a proportionate manner to a scheme for sickness coverage in the Member State in which they habitually reside. (5c) Notwithstanding the limitations on the right to equal treatment for economically inactive persons, that arise from the Directive 2004/38/EC or otherwise by virtue of Union law, nothing within this Regulation should restrict the fundamental rights recognised in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, notably the right to human dignity (Article 1), the right to life (Article 2) and the right to healthcare (Article 35).’deleted
