Amendment 44 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
4. Takes the view that the geographical zoning of the new Guidelines on Regional State Aid 2014-2020 (RSAG) should not be reduced, and that decreasing the aid intensity should be reconsidered, taking into account the political, economic and social situation in the Member States; insists that the difference in aid intensity between all categories of regions and all sizes of companies should be limited to a maximum of 15%; points out that, in the global context, the EU economy could be placed at a disadvantage relative to third countries benefitting from looser employment schemes or lower costs;

Amendment 82 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6 a (new)
6 a. Recalls the position of the European Council who has instructed the Commission to ensure that the particular situation of regions bordering convergence regions is accommodated for; reminds the Commission that regions sharing common borders with regions from other Member States are most exposed to the economic developments brought about by the accession of new Member States; highlights therefore the importance of a balanced approach to the allocation of so-called 'a' and 'c' areas with a view to minimising the disparities in aid intensity between regions from different Member States sharing the same border;

Amendment 85 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6 b (new)
6 b. Urges the Commission to prevent inappropriate differences in aid intensity at national borders, by providing Member States with regions adjacent to 'a' areas of another Member State with a specific allocation of 'c' coverage; takes the view that the specific allocation should be assigned to NUTS 3 regions or parts thereof, which border on an 'a' area of another Member State and are not predefined 'c' areas; considers that this allocation should, by way of derogation from the overall coverage ceiling, be assigned to the Member States in addition to the allocation of predefined and non- predefined 'c' areas;
