Amendment 36 #
Angelika WERTHMANN
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
10. Acknowledges that in 2013, many petitioners voiced their alarm at the apparent injustices which occur in certain European Member StatesDenmark regarding the administrative and judicial procedures related to parental separation and divorce and the subsequent custody of young children; noted in this context a tendencythat in the case of bi-national couples for there to be clear examples of discrimination on grounds of nationality in favour of the spouse from the member state concerned with the proceedings and against the non- national of that state, with severe and often very negative and dramatic repercussions on the rights of the child; noted in this context severe violations of Fundamental Rights of both the petitioner and the child; notes that the Petitions Committee undertook a fact- finding visit to Denmark to investigate such claims directly where the situation appears to be particularly acute, but that; notes that some cases were also recorded from other countries, notably Germany, France and the UK;

Amendment 43 #
Angelika WERTHMANN
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14
14. Welcomes the fact that the fact-finding visit to Galicia, which took place in February 2013, was able to hold extensive discussions with petitioners and the regional authorities on issues related to the lack of proper waste-water treatment facilities in the region which has had an impact on the health of local people and on economic activity in certain areas which are contaminated by sludge and residues which contain substances which endanger the environment and potentially the on- going production of sea-food in certain areas; recognises that the authorities have committed themselves to act more diligently to resolve these issues and that a new waste water treatment facility is being constructed in Vigo; deplores the fact that the minority report of the two delegation members has not been annexed to the report itself;

Amendment 62 #
Angelika WERTHMANN
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 30
30. Calls upon MEPs in the Petitions Committee to adopt final internal rules to ensure maximum efficiency and openness in the work of the Committee and to make proposals to revise accordingly the Rules of Procedure of the European Parliament in order to consolidate their continuous attempts during the whole seventh legislature to improve working methods; calls on the Petitions Committee to adopt clear deadlines in the process of petitions in order to speed up the petitions life-cycle in the European Parliament and make the whole process even more transparent and democratic; underlines that this could put in place a defined lifecycle of the petition from registration until their final closure in the European Parliament, similarly to the existing deadlines for the work in process on legislative and non-legislative files; recalls that fact-finding visits are one of the key investigative instruments of the Petitions Committee, therefore an urgent revision of the relevant rules is needed, in order to enable the newly elected Members to carry out efficient visits and report swiftly back to the petitioners and the Committee on their findings and recommendations.deleted
