Summer-time arrangements (B8-0070/2018, B8-0071/2018)

The UK Conservative delegation voted against both resolutions tabled by the TRAN committee and by 38 MEPs. Regarding the TRAN resolution, we take issue with its finding that there is conclusive proof that the biannual clock change has significant negative effects on human health, agriculture and road safety. We do recognise the value of the existing directive in terms of providing a unified approach regarding the precise timing of the biannual clock changes. However, we see no need for a revision of the directive nor do we consider asking the Commission to conduct a comprehensive study on this to be good value for taxpayers’ money. Furthermore, on the grounds of subsidiarity, we see no need for an EU-wide proposal to replace the biannual clock change. Finally, we also note that the UK Government has currently has no plans to make any changes to daylight savings arrangements. Accordingly, Conservative MEPs decided to vote against both resolutions.

Aviation Strategy for Europe (A8-0021/2017 - Pavel Telička)

With regret, the UK Conservative delegation voted against this report. We welcomed the Commission’s proposed strategy and the rapporteur’s focus on improving connectivity, boosting competitiveness and keeping a market-driven perspective. We agree that protectionism is not the answer and that comprehensive external aviation agreements are the best way to set a framework for free and fair competition. We also firmly believe that attracting foreign investment is important for the competitiveness of European airlines, and that EU or national legislation should not hamper this.However, we believe it was wholly unacceptable to grant the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs (EMPL) such wide competence under Rule 54 regarding the social agenda of the Strategy. In particular, we oppose EMPL’s calls for clarification and consistent application of the ‘home base’ criterion for airlines, which we see as an attack on the business model of carriers, and its groundless claims of a significant safety risk to passengers caused by alleged ‘social abuses’ of pilots and crew members and alleged bogus employment contracts. We highlight that European airlines are regulated to the most stringent safety standards and we therefore question the lack of an evidential basis for this report’s conclusions. Consequently, we were obliged to vote against this report.

2018/0236(COD)

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 70
(70) Extreme and major space weather events may threaten the safety of citizens and disrupt the operations of space-based and ground-based infrastructure. A space weather function should therefore be established as part the Programme with an aim of assessing the space weather risks and corresponding user needs, raising the awareness of space weather risks, ensuring the delivery of user-driven space weather services, and improving Member Stares capabilities to produce space weather service. The Commission should prioritise the sectors to which the operational space weather services are to be provided taking into account the user needs, risks and technological readiness. In the long term, the needs of other sectors may be addressed. The delivery of services at Union level according to the users' needs will require targeted, coordinated and continued research and development activities to support space weather services evolution. The delivery of the space weather services should build on the existing national and Union capabilities and enable a broad participation of Member States, international organisations and involvement of the private sector.

Recital 1
(1) At the 21st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) which took place in Paris from 30 November to 12 December 2015, an international agreement was adopted to strengthen the global response to climate change. The Paris Agreement, inter alia, sets out a long-term goal in line with the objective to keep the global temperature increase well below 2°C above pre- industrial levels and to pursue efforts to keep it to 1,5°C above pre-industrial levels. The Paris Agreement was approved on behalf of the Union by Council Decision (EU) 2016/1841. The Paris Agreement entered into force on 4th November 2016. In order to achieve the goal of the Paris Agreement, parties will prepare, communicate and maintain successive nationally determined contributions. It should be noted however that the Paris Agreement of COP 21 excluded both the international aviation and maritime sectors and requested that in the case of aviation, the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) would be the most relevant body to come forward with a workable GMBM scheme.

(6) Given that key features of the global market-based measure have yet to be developed and that its implementation depends on domestic legislation by States and regions, it is considered appropriate for a review to take place once there is clarity about the nature and content and of these legal instruments in advance of the start of ICAO's global market-based measure, and a report submitted to the European Parliament and Council. That report should consider any standards or other instruments adopted through ICAO, the actions taken by third countries to implement the global market-based measure to apply to emissions from 2021 and other relevant international developments (e.g. rules under UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement on carbon markets and accounting). That report should consider how to implement these instruments in Union law through a revision of the EU ETS. It should also consider the rules applicable to intra-EEA flights as appropriate. That report should be accompanied by a proposal as appropriate to the European Parliament and the Council consistent with ensuring the contribution of aviation to the Union's 2030 economy-wide greenhouse gas reduction commitment.

(6a) It should also be considered that the success of the Carbon Offsetting Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) when agreed at ICAO will depend on the avoidance of conflicting or duplicate schemes at domestic and regional level, in order not to create distortions of competition nor an unacceptable administrative burden. Moreover, the implementation of CORSIA within the Union should take account of the review every three years which will allow for further improvements to be made to the scheme.

(6b) Several legislative acts have been adopted at Union level which aim at preventing the fragmentation of European airspace in order to enhance the flow of air traffic and control of airspace usage. Within the Union, the CORSIA scheme should be viewed as part of ICAO's so-called "basket of measures" alongside full implementation by Member States of Single European Sky legislation, SESAR, the use of Galileo for satellite- based navigation (EGNOS, GNSS and Copernicus) and Joint Technology Initiatives such as Clean Sky I and Clean Sky II. All revenues from the proceeds of future auctioning of allowances should be ring-fenced for these and any other further research and development programmes involving the aviation sector.

It should also be restated that points (a) to (k) in the section 'Aviation activities' in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC provide for exemptions from the categories of activity to which that Directive applies. As part of the proposed review outlined in Article 28b of that Directive, the continued exclusion of these flights should be reconfirmed.

The proceeds of auctioning should also be used to fund contributions to the Global Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Fund, and measures to avoid deforestation., provided that those revenues are ring- fenced for research and development projects such as the SESAR Joint Undertaking and the Clean Sky Joint Technology Initiatives, and any future research and development initiative which will mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in the aviation sector."

(8) The measures taken in accordance with this Regulation to regulate civil aviation in the Union, including the delegated and implementing acts adopted on the basis thereof, should correspond to and be proportionate to the nature and risks associated with the different types of operations and activities they address. They should also, in as far as possible, be formulated in a manner which focuses on objectives to be achieved, while allowing different means of achieving those objectives. This should contribute to a more cost-efficient achievement of required safety levels and to stimulating technical and operational innovation. Use should be made of recognised industry standards and practices, where it has been found that they ensure compliance with the essential requirements set out in this Regulation, specifically in fields where that has traditionally been the case, such as ground handling.

(9) Application of sound safety management principles is essential for continuous improvement of civil aviation safety in the Union, anticipating emerging safety risks, and making best use of limited technical resources. It is therefore necessary to establish a common framework for planning and implementing safety improvement actions. To that end a European Plan for Aviation Safety and a European Aviation Safety Programme should be drawn up at Union level. Each Member State should also draw up a National Aviation Safety Programme in accordance with the requirements contained in Annex 19 to the Chicago Convention. That programme should be accompanied by a plan describing the actions to be taken by the Member State to mitigate the identified safety risks. The European Aviation Safety Programme and plans, as well as the State Safety Programmes, as described in Annex 19 to the Chicago Convention, shall be established with the close involvement of industry stakeholders.

In order to ensure that these objectives are mutually supportive and not in conflict, i. It is appropriate to take account of developments at and positions taken in international fora and in particular to take account of the Resolution containing the ‘Consolidated statement of continuing ICAO policies and practices related to environmental protection’ adopted at the 38th session of the Assembly of the International cCivil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). Accordingly, the European Union should avoid any unilateralist actions which would damage trade relations and obstruct the ICAO negotiations.

In doing so, the Union emphasises that requirements can be applied in respect of certain percentages of emissions from flights to and from aerodromes in countries of the European Economic Area (EEA), in the same manner as legal requirements can be placed on more of the emissions from flights to and from such aerodromes. __________________ 4 Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC (OJ L 275, 25.10.2003, p. 32)deleted

Since the Union does not consider that a global market- based measure should be based on actual airspace considerations, as compared to the arrival or departure from aerodromes, the relevance of the percentages is limited to the period up to 2020.deleted

(7) The majority of travellers buying packages are consumers in the sense of Union consumer law. At the same time, it is not always easy to distinguish between consumers and representatives of small businesses or professionals who book trips related to their business or profession through the same booking channels as consumers. Such travellers often require a similar level of protection. In contrast, larger companies or organisations often make travel arrangements for their employees on the basis of a framework contract with companies which specialise in the arrangement of business travel. The latter type of travel arrangements do not require the level of protection designed for consumers. Therefore, this Directive should apply to business travellers only insofar as they do not make travel arrangementsf deemed necessary by Member States for instance where the business travellers book travel in their own the basis of a framework contractpersonal name instead of the corporate name. To avoid confusion with the definition of the term ‘consumer’ in other consumer protection directives, persons protected under this Directive should be referred to as ‘travellers’.

(34) Member States should ensure that travellers purchasing a package or an assist linked travel arrangement are fully protected against the insolvency of the organiser, of the retailer having facilitated the assistlinked travel arrangement or of any of the service providers. Member States in which package organisers and retailers facilitating assisted travel arrangements are established should ensure that traders offering such combinations of travel services provide security for the refund of all payments made by travellers and for their repatriation in the event of insolvency. While retaining discretion as to the way in which insolvency protection is granted, Member States should ensure that their national insolvency protection schemes are effective and able to guarantee prompt repatriation and the refund of all travellers affected by the insolvency. Where a consumer would prefer to complete the package or linked travel arrangement, rather than obtain a full refund, the insolvency protection may, where appropriate, provide for the fulfilment of existing contracts, in order to enable the package or linked travel arrangement to continue at no additional cost to the consumer. The required insolvency protection should take into account the actual financial risk of the activities of the organiser, relevant retailer or service provider, including the type of combination of travel services they sell, foreseeable seasonal fluctuations as well as the extent of pre-payments and the way in which these are secured. In accordance with Directive 2006/123/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 on services in the internal market25, in cases where insolvency protection may be provided in the form of a guarantee or an insurance policy, such security may not be limited to attestations issued by financial operators established in a particular Member State. __________________ 25 OJ L376, 27.12.2006, p. 36.

Recital 4
(4) The overwhelming majority of Union maritime traffic transits through the seaports of the trans-European transport network. In order to achieve the aim of this Regulation in a proportionate way without imposing any unnecessary burden on other ports, this Regulation should apply only to the seaports of the trans-European transport network, each of which playing a significant role for the European transport system either because it handles more than 0.1% of the total EU freight or the total number of passengers or because it improves the regional accessibility of island or peripheral areas, without prejudice, however, to the possibility of Member States deciding to apply this Regulation to other ports as well. Its application should be limited, where appropriate, to those seaports in receipt of substantial public subsidy. Pilotage services performed in the deep sea do not have a direct impact on the efficiency of the ports as they are not used for the direct entry and exit of the ports and therefore do not need to be included in this Regulation.

(7) Longer and higher vehicles may be used in cross- border transport if the two Member States concerned already allow it and if the conditions for derogation under Article 4(3), (4) or (5) of the Directive are met. The European Commission has already provided guidance on the application of Article 4 of the Directive. The transport operations referred to in Article 4(4) do not have a significant impact on international competition if the cross- border use remains limited to two Member States where the existing infrastructure and the road safety requirements allow iis provision must not distort the internal market. This balances the Member States’ right under the principle of subsidiarity to decide on transport solutions suited to their specific circumstances with the need to prevent such policies from distorting the internal market.

At the same time, the thresholds above which delays give rise to a right to compensation should be increased to take account of the financial impact on the sector and to avoid any increase in the frequency of cancellations as a consequence. To ensure that citizens travelling within the EU face homogeneous conditions for compensation, the threshold should be the same for all travel within the Union, but it he threshold should depend upon the journey distance for travel to and from third countries to take into account the operational difficulties encountered by air carriers to deal with delays on remote airports.

These products cannot therefore be certified by the Member States in accordance with the relevant international maritime safety conventions. Equipment to be placed onboard EU ships in accordance with international safety standards should therefore be regulated exclusively by this Directive, which should in any event be considered the lex specialis; furthermore, a specific marking should be established to indicate that the equipment bearing that mark complies with the requirements laid down in the relevant fully ratified international conventions and instruments.

Moreover, it is necessary to keep up-to- date a number of non-essential elements of this Directive, namely the list of international conventions laying down safety requirements for marine equipment contained in Article 2(3) and the references to specific standards contained in Annex III. The power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should therefore be delegated to the Commission in respect of the adoption, on an interim basis, of harmonised technical specifications and testing standards and in order to amend the said lists and references.
