Amendment 1 #

2013/2130(INI)

Draft opinion
Paragraph 6
6. Points out that Parliament welcomed, in principle, the introduction of delegated acts in Article 290 TFEU as providing greater scope for oversight as regards delegation of powers, but is concerned at the excessive use of delegated acts in Commission proposals, both as regards their number and scope or lack of precision, and whereas, furthermore, the Council has been tempted to convert such acts into implementing acts pursuant to Article 291 TFEU; emphasises that Article 290 explicitly limits the scope of delegated acts to non-essential elements of a legislative act and stresses that excessive use of delegation undermines the legitimacy of the legislative procedure; refers also, in this connec, but stresses that the conferral of such delegated powers, nor implementing powers under Article 291, is never an obligation; recognises that the use of delegated acts should be considered where flexibility and efficiency are needed and cannot be delivered by means of the ordinary legislative procedure, provided that the objective, content, scope and the duration of that delegation are explicitly defined and the conditions to which the delegation is subject are clearly laid down in the basic act; expresses concerns about the tendency of the Council to insist on implementing acts for provisions where only the basic act or delegated acts can be used; stresses that only for elements that do not amount to further political orientation the legislator may decide to allow for their adoption, to reasoned opinions by national Parliaments under Article 7(2) of Protocol No 2, which have concluded that the broad scope of delegation in a proposed act does not allow for an evaluation of whether the concrete legislative reality would be in conformity with the principle of subsidiarity or nothrough implementing acts; recognises that Article 290 explicitly limits the scope of delegated acts to non-essential elements of a legislative act and that for rules essential to the subject matter of the legislation therefore also delegated acts cannot be used;

Amendment 3 #

2013/2130(INI)

Draft opinion
Paragraph 7
7. Highlights the greater role given to national parliaments in the Lisbon Treaty and stresses that, alongside the role which they play in monitoring respect for the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, they can and do make positive contributions in the framework of the Political Dialogue; considers that the active role which the national parliaments can play in guiding the members of the Council of Ministers and good cooperation between the European Parliament and the national parliaments can help to establish a healthy parliamentary counterbalance to the exercise of executive power in the functioning of the EU. Refers also to reasoned opinions by national Parliaments under Article 7(2) of Protocol No 2 that the broad scope of delegation under Art. 290 TFEU in a proposed acts does not allow for an evaluation of whether the concrete legislative reality would be in conformity with the principle of subsidiarity or not;

Rule 6 a (new)
Rule 6a Defence of privileges and immunity 1. In cases where the privileges and immunities of a Member or former Member are alleged to have been breached by the authorities of a Member State, a request for a Parliament decision as to whether there has, in fact, been a breach of those privileges and immunities may be made in accordance with Rule 7(-1). 2. In particular, such a request for the defence of privileges and immunities may be made if it is considered that the circumstances constitute an administrative or other restriction imposed on the free movement of Members travelling to or from the place of meeting of Parliament or on an opinion expressed or a vote cast in the performance of the mandate or that they fall within aspects of Article 9 of the Protocol on Privileges and Immunities of the European Union. 3. A request for the defence of the privileges and immunities of a Member shall not be admissible if a request for the waiver or defence of that Member’s immunity has already been received in respect of the same legal proceedings, whether or not a decision has been taken at that time. 4. No further consideration shall be given to a request for the defence of the privileges and immunities of a Member if a request for the waiver of that Member’s immunity is received in respect of the same legal proceedings. 5. In cases where a decision has been taken not to defend the privileges and immunities of a Member, the Member may make a request to reconsider the decision, submitting new evidence. The request for reconsideration shall be inadmissible if proceedings have been instituted against the decision under Article 263 TFEU, or if the President considers that the new evidence submitted is not sufficiently substantiated to warrant reconsideration.

2. welcomes the fact that, under the regime applicable to non-contractual liability of the EPPO, the Court of Justice shall have jurisdiction in disputes over compensation for damage in similar terms to those set out in Article 268 TFEU; however, considers it problematic that two different courts – at EU and national level respectively – shall hear actions for non-contractual liability of the EPPO and actions for annulment of its procedural measures, including those from which a right to compensation for damage may arise, and recommends to the Council that Articles 36 and 69 of the proposal be amended accordingly;

(21) The indication of origin supplements the basic traceability requirements concerning the name and address of the manufacturer. In particular, the indication of the country of origin helps to identify the actual place of manufacture in all those cases where the manufacturer cannot be contacted or its given address is different from the actual place of manufacture. Modern business processes regarding the purchasing and processing of materials are such that the indication of the country of origin of the finished product is insufficient to provide consumers with full and trustworthy information on the true origin of that product. Indicating the country of origin of the materials used in the product guarantees consumers the right to make purchasing choices in full knowledge of the facts. Such information can facilitate the task of market surveillance authorities in tracing the product back to the actual place of manufacture and enable contacts with the authorities of the countries of origin in the framework of bilateral or multilateral cooperation on consumer product safety for appropriate follow up actions.

(19) It is appropriate to provide a more flexible framework for the employment of contract staff. The institutions of the European Union should therefore be enabled to engage contract staff for a maximum period of six years in order to perform tasks under the supervision of officials or temporary staff. In addition, while the vast majority of officials will continue to be recruited on the basis of open competitions, the institutions should be authorised to organise internal competitions which are also open to contract staff, including those working for executive agencies.

(26) In view of the detrimental effects on competition, negotiated procedures without a call for competition should only be used in very exceptional circumstances and below the thresholds stated in Article 12, with sufficient justification. This exception should be limited to cases where publication is either not possible, for reasons of force majeure in line with the standing case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, or where it is clear from the outset that publication would not trigger more competition, not least because there is objectively only one economic operator that can perform the contract. Only situations of objective exclusivity can justify the use of the negotiated procedure without a call for competition, where the situation of exclusivity has not been created by the contracting entity itself with a view to the future procurement procedure, and where there are no adequate substitutes, the availability of which should be assessed thoroughly.

(33) The reports should serve to facilitate governments of resource-rich countries in implementing the EITI Principles and Criteria and account to their citizens for payments such governments receive from undertakings active in the extractive industry or loggers of primary forests operating within their jurisdiction. The report should incorporate disclosures on a country and project basis, where a project is considered as the lowestthe basis of the country and the level of opernational reporting unit at which the undertaking prepares regular inter/federal, state/regional management reports, such as a concession, geographical basin, etc and where payments have been attributed to such projects. In the light of the overall objective of promoting good governance in these countries, the materiality of payments to be reported should be assessed in relation to the recipient government. Various criteria on materiality could be envisaged such as payments of an absolute amount, or a percentage threshold (such as payments in excess of a percentage of a country's GDP) and these can be defined through a delegated actd local government. Provision should be made for an overall disclosure threshold which should take account of the objective of promoting good governance and limiting the misappropriation of significant amounts of government revenue in these countries; it should also take into account the need to respond to the call for greater transparency and to ensure that an appropriate balance is struck between costs and benefits and the competitiveness of European undertakings. The reporting regime should be subject to a review and a report by the Commission within fivthree years of the entry into force of the Directive. The review should consider the effectiveness of the regime and take into account international developments including issues of competitiveness and energy security. The review should also take into account the experience of preparers and users of the payments information and consider whether it would be appropriate to include additional payment information such as effective tax rates and recipient details, such as bank account informationreduce or extend the disclosure requirements, or to strengthen and support measures such as capacity building (development of the capacity and potential of the area to which the investments refer) in third countries.
