Recital 12

(12) TEasily accessible traineeships and jobs in solidarity- related areas can offer additional opportunities for young people to make a start or carry on, on the labour market while giving a clear European value in contributing to addressing unmet key societal challenges. This can help foster the employability and productivity of young people while easing their transition from education to employment, which is key to enhancing their chances on the labour market. The traineeship activities offered under the European Solidarity Corps follow the quality principles outlined in Council Recommendation on establishing a Quality Framework for Traineeships, always being paid and based in written agreement21. The traineeships and jobs offered can constitute a stepping stone for young people to enter the labour market and are accompanied by adequate post-activity support. The traineeship and job activities are facilitated by relevant labour market actors, in particular public and private employment services, social partners and Chambers of Commerce, and are remunerated by the participating organisation. As participating organisations, they should apply for funding via the competent implementing body of the European Solidarity Corps in view of intermediating between the young participants and employers offering traineeship and job activities in solidarity sectors. __________________ 21 Council Recommendation of 15 March 2018 on a European Framework for Quality and Effective Apprenticeships (OJ C 153, 2.5.2018, p. 1).

(17) A quality label should ensure compliance of the participating organisations with the principles and requirements of the European Solidarity Corps, as regards their rights and responsibilities during all stages of the solidarity experience. Obtaining a quality label is a precondition for participation but should not automatically lead to funding under the European Solidarity Corps. Separate quality labels should be put in place for volunteering and for traineeships and jobs, taking into consideration the specific characteristics of each component. The process that leads to attribution of a quality label should not create additional bureaucracy that would dissuade organisations and private businesses from contributions to the European Solidarity Corps.

(18) The ESF+ should support Member States’ efforts at all levels of government, including at local and regional level, to tackle poverty with a view to breaking the cycle of disadvantage across generations and promote social inclusion by ensuring equal opportunities for all, tackling discrimination and addressing health inequalities and homelessness. This implies mobilising a range of policies targeting the most disadvantaged people regardless of their age, including children, persons with disabilities, marginalised communities such as the Roma, and the working poor. The ESF+ should promote the active inclusion of people far from the labour market with a view to ensuring their socio-economic integration. The ESF+ should be also used to enhance timely and equal access to affordable, sustainable and high quality services such as healthcare and long-term care, in particular family and community-based care services. The ESF+ should contribute to the modernisation of social protection systems with a view in particular to promoting their accessibility.

(25) Since the objectives of this Regulation, which are to optimise utilisation of the different skills of immigration liaison officers deployed by Member States, Commission and EU Agencies to third countries in order to more effectively implement Union priorities regarding preventing ~~and combatting illegal~~irregular immigration, facilitating return, readmission and reintegration, contributing to integrated management of Union’s external borders, a~~s well as~~nd supporting management of legal immigration or international protection schemes, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States alone but are better achieved through coordination 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 those objectives.

Recital 12

(12) Directive (EU) 2015/849 has substantially enhanced the Union legal framework that governs the activity and cooperation of Financial Intelligence Units, including the possibility of establishing a coordination and support mechanism. The powers of Financial Intelligence Units include the right to access the financial, administrative and law enforcement information that they require to prevent, detect and combat money laundering, the associated predicate offences and terrorist financing. Nevertheless, Union law does not lay down all specific tools and mechanisms that Financial Intelligence Units must have at their disposal in order to access such information and accomplish their tasks. Since Member States remain entirely responsible for the setting up and deciding the organisational nature of Financial Intelligence Units, different Financial Intelligence Units have varying degrees of access to regulatory databases which leads to an insufficient exchange of information between law enforcement or prosecution services and Financial Intelligence Units.

Due to their transnational nature, ~~the terrorist and criminal threat~~cross border organised crimes affect the Union as a whole and require a Union wide response. Criminals may exploit, and will benefit from, the lack of an efficient use of bank account information and financial information in a Member State, which can have consequences in another Member State. Since the objective of this Directive cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States, but can rather 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.

(11) The obligations of this Regulation should apply also to companies that operate online, including online marketplaces. Therefore, online economic operators should also train their staff and have in place appropriate procedures to detect suspicious transactions. Furthermore, they should not make available restricted explosives precursors to a member of the general public in Member States other than those that maintain or establish a licensing regime in line with this Regulation and only after verifying that that member of the general public has a licence. After having verified the identity of the prospective customer interested in buying a restricted explosive precursor, for instance through mechanisms referred to in Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council33 , the economic operator should verify that a licence has been issued for the intended transaction, for instance through a physical inspection of the licence at the time of delivery or, with the consent of the prospective customer, by contacting the competent authority of Member States that enable to be consulted on the licenses they have issued. Companies operating online should also, like those operating offline, request end-use declarations of professional users. _________________ 33 Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 2014 on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market and repealing Directive 1999/93/EC (OJ L 257, 28.8.2014, p. 73).

Motion for a resolution
Annex I – point 10

(10) In recent years the Hungarian Government has extensively used national consultations, including one on migration and terrorism launched in May 2015. On 27 April 2017, the Commission pointed out that the national consultation “Let’s stop Brussels” contained several claims and allegations which were factually incorrect or highly misleading. Nevertheless, the Hungarian Government subsequently continued to have recourse to similar consultations.

Annex I – point 20 a (new)

(20a) According to the anti-corruption report published by the Commission in 20141 b, corruption is perceived as widespread (89%) in Hungary. According to the 2017 Corruption Perceptions Index published by Transparency International, Hungary has lost 10 points in six years, making it one of the lowest ranked states in the European Union. Hungary is one of the greatest recipients of EU funds and more than half of public investment comes from EU funds. Hungary, however, has refused to participate in the European Public Prosecutor's Office set up to combat infringements affecting the Union budget. __________________ 1b COM(2014) 38

2. Notes the Commission’s efforts to ensure that all Member States fully uphold the rule of law, but also the ineffectiveness of the instruments used thus far; insists that Article 7 of the TEU should no longer be regarded merely as a hypothetical tool, but should be employed if all other remedies have failed; and welcomes its intention to keep dialogue and exchanges with the Member States active and alive, but notes nonetheless the ineffectiveness of the instruments used thus far; considers that all channels of dialogue should be explored but that, without tangible results, they should not be prolonged indefinitely once it is clear that the heads of the Member States concerned are not interested in addressing the situation; insists that Article 7 of the TEU should no longer be regarded merely as a hypothetical tool, but should be employed if all other remedies have failed; recalls in that regard that the activation of Article 7 does not automatically mean that sanctions will be imposed on the Member State concerned; stresses that the first phase of activation involves, first and foremost, dialogue between the Council and the Member State concerned given that the latter has the right to be heard by the Council and can receive recommendations; recalls that this ‘preventive’ phase was created specifically to give the EU the ability to act swiftly to avoid resorting to sanctions;

Is concerned by the rise of openly racist political parties that advocate hatred and identitarian closure; believes that these parties are in contravention of the very idea of a European Union based on equality and lessons from the past; believes that the rise of these parties demonstrates the need for the EU to further emphasise the values upon which the European project is founded to ensure that each and every citizen feels invested in it; calls on the Commission to become more vigilant the moment these parties get close to power, given that they pose a direct threat to fundamental European rights and values as a whole;

Recital 2

(2) The use of network and information systems by citizens, businesses and governments across the Union is now pervasive. Digitisation and connectivity are becoming core features in an ever growing number of products and services and with the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) millions, if not billions, of connected digital devices are expected to be deployed across the EU during the next decade. While an increasing number of devices are connected to the Internet, security and resilience are not sufficiently built in by design, leading to insufficient cybersecurity. In this context, the limited and fragmented use of certification leads to insufficient information for organisational and individual users about the cybersecurity features of ICT products and services, undermining trust in digital solutions.

(28) The Agency should contribute towards raising the awareness of the public about risks related to cybersecurity and provide guidance on good practices for individual users aimed at citizens and organisations. The Agency should also contribute to promote best practices and solutions at the level of individuals and organisations by collecting and analysing publicly available information regarding significant incidents, and by compiling reports with a view to providing guidance to businesses and citizens and improving the overall level of preparedness and resilience. The Agency should furthermore organise, in cooperation with the Member States and the Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies regular outreach and public education campaigns directed to end-users, aiming at promoting cybersecurity education, safer individual online behaviour and raising awareness of potential threats in cyberspace, including cybercrimes such as phishing attacks, botnets, financial and banking fraud, as well as promoting basic authentication and data protection advice. The Agency should play a central role in accelerating end-user awareness on security of devices.

It should also liaise with European and national authorities dealing with data protection in order to exchange know-how and best practices and provide advice on cybersecurity aspects that might have an impact on their work. Representatives of national and Union law enforcement and data protection authorities should be eligible to be represented in the Agency’s Permanent Stakeholders Group. In liaising with law enforcement bodies regarding network and information security aspects that might have an impact on their work, the Agency should respect existing channels of information and established networks.

(52) In view of the above, it is necessary to establish a harmonised European cybersecurity certification framework laying down the main horizontal requirements for European cybersecurity certification schemes to be developed and allowing certificates for ICT products and services to be recognised and used in all Member States. The European framework should have a twofold purpose: on the one hand, it should help increase trust in ICT products and services that have been certified according to such schemes. On the other hand, it should avoid the multiplication of conflicting or overlapping national cybersecurity certifications and thus reduce costs for undertakings operating in the digital single market. The schemes should be non-discriminatory and based on international and / or Union standards, unless those standards are ineffective or inappropriate to fulfil the EU’s legitimate objectives in that regard.

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3 a (new)

3a. Stresses that, in line with the assessment report drawn up by the European Parliamentary Research Service, the first reason for the differing levels of use of national and European protection orders is that victims and many professionals are unaware of the possibilities the Directive offers. Encourages, consequently, the setting in motion of dissemination campaigns targeting potential victims, and especially women for whom national protection orders are in force, legal operators, professionals involved in administration of justice, police officers, and members of the basic social services and emergency services who are the first to have dealings with victims.

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16 a (new)

16a. Points out that legal aid is vital in applying for and dealing with the procedures for an EPO. All victims in the EU must have free access to legal aid. Stresses that proving compliance with this requirement has to be one of the priorities of the report on application of the Directive due in January 2016 and which the Commission was yet to deliver.

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 22 a (new)

22a. Encourages, in line with the oft repeated views of associations for victims of gender violence, the testing of procedures that change the traditional approach to how protection is viewed in most Member States. Rather than focusing on measures for victims, as is often the case, risk-avoidance techniques ought to include prevention, surveillance, control and monitoring of the persons inflicting harm, and that the preventive measures employed ought to include, as a priority, mandatory re-education for perpetrators;
