Amendment 7 #
2013/2077(INI)
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Reiterates that the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, which are enshrined in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union and Protocol No 2, are of a general and fundamental nature, binding the institutions in their entire activityexercising the powers of the Union with the sole exception that the principle of subsidiarity does not apply in those rare areas which fall within the exclusive competence of the Union;
Amendment 13 #
2013/2077(INI)
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Welcomes the factNotes that the Member States’ parliaments are showing an ever greater interest in the proper application of these principles by the institutions of the Union. This is illustrated by the fact that in 2011 the European Parliament received 77 reasoned opinions claiming that a draft legislative act did not comply with the principle of subsidiarity, and 523 other contributions criticising inter alia non- respect of the principle of proportionality, whereas the respective figures for 2010 were 41 and 299;
Amendment 18 #
2013/2077(INI)
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Highlights that the principle of subsidiarity constitutes a political guideline on the exercise of powers at Union level; regrets that there is thus no possibility for the principle to be enforced by a court within that system;
Amendment 24 #
2013/2077(INI)
Draft opinion
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Observes that the subsidiarity principle as formulated in the Treaties permits Union action only ‘if and in so far as the objectives of the proposed action cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States’, which means that the ‘subsidiarity check’ to a certain degree also implies a ‘proportionality check’ highlighting the functional complementarity of the two principlesle, under the proportionality principle, the substance and form of Union action must not exceed what is necessary to achieve the objectives of the Treaties; points out that subsidiarity and proportionality are closely related but distinct: while the former relates to the appropriateness of Union action in sectors which do not come within its exclusive competence, the second relates to proportionality between the means and ends stipulated by the legislator and is a general rule governing the exercise of Union powers; notes that consideration of proportionality regarding a draft legislative act must logically follow consideration of subsidiarity, while, at the same time, verification of subsidiarity would not be sufficiently effective in the absence of verification of proportionality;
Amendment 27 #
2013/2077(INI)
Draft opinion
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. RegretNotes that the Commission received only a small number of parliamentary questions (32 out of more than 12 000) in 2011 on issues relating to compliance with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, and encourages its Members to makreflecting the fact that very few national parliaments have morade use of this tool of parliamentary scrutiny;
Amendment 31 #
2013/2077(INI)
Draft opinion
Paragraph 9
Paragraph 9
9. Highlights the fact that in 2011 the Commission received 64 reasoned opinions within the meaning of Protocol No 2 on the application of the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, which represents a considerable increase in comparison to 2010; draws attention however to the fact that no Commission proposalin 2011 no proposal for a legislative act received a sufficient number of reasoned opinions to trigger the ‘yellow or orange card procedures’ under the Protocol; notes, however, that on 22 May 2012 a 'yellow card procedure' was for the first time triggered by a Commission proposal (proposal for a Council regulation on the exercise of the right to take collective action within the context of the freedom of establishment and the freedom to provide services, i.e. the proposal for the 'Monti II' Regulation); stresses that the Commission withdrew the proposal, not because it considered that the principle of subsidiarity had been infringed, but because it realised that the proposal was unlikely to garner enough political support in the European Parliament and Council to ensure its adoption;

Draft opinion
Paragraph 9 – subparagraph 1 (new)
Paragraph 9 – subparagraph 1 (new)
Takes the view that the mechanism for verification of the subsidiarity principle must be designed and put to use as a major instrument for collaboration between European and national institutions; notes with satisfaction that this instrument is used in practice as a means of communication and cooperative dialogue among the different institutional levels of the multi-level European system;

Ea. whereas the European Parliament has recently condemned the practice of forced abortions and sterilisations globally, especially in the context of the ‘one-child policy’, and has stressed the importance of the current debate on whether or not to continue that policy, calling on the Commission and the European External Action Service to include forced abortion on the agenda of their next bilateral human rights dialogue with China; whereas in the same connection the European Parliament has, moreover, urged the Commission to ensure that Union assistance is not provided to any authority, organisation or programme that supports or participates in the management of any action which involves such human rights abuses as coercive abortion, forced sterilisation or infanticide, especially where such actions achieve their priorities by way of psychological, social, economic or legal pressure;

Paragraph 26
26. Stresses the importance of a political support process not simply focussed on the period immediately before and after elections, but based on continuity; welcomes the HR/VP's attention to ‘deep democracy’, which links democratic processes with human rights, freedom of expression and association, the rule of law and good governance; underlines that in this context the right to religious freedom should also be assigned a duly prominent role; in fact such a right is generally recognized as one of the most fundamental of all human rights;
Amendment 178 #
2011/2185(INI)
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 38
Paragraph 38
38. Considers that the ‘Arab Spring’ has served to demonstrate the inadequacy of the EU's policies hitherto to effectively support people's strong desire for accountable and representative government in countries where this is denied; welcomes therefore the Joint Communications by the Commission and the HR/VP on ‘A new response to a changing Neighbourhood’ and ‘A partnership for democracy and shared prosperity with the Southern Mediterranean’, and the approach taken of shared commitments and mutual accountability, stronger conditionality, differentiation of policies, the advancing of multilateral and sub-regional cooperation and the principle of further involving civil society; takes the opportunity to stress that the 'Arab Spring' would become a paradox and fail in the face of the expectations of many if it developed in a direction that denies the rights of religious minorities, including Christians;

Stresses the main arguments in favour of accession of the Union to the ECHR, which may be summarised as follows: – while the Union's system for the protection of fundamental rights will be supplemented and enhanced by the incorporation of the Charter of Fundamental Rights into its primary law, its accession to the ECHR will send a strong signal concerning the coherence between the Union and 'wider Europe', constituted by the Council of Europe and its pan-European human rights system; this accession will also enhance the credibility of the Union in the eyes of third countries which it regularly calls upon in its bilateral reports to respect the ECHR, – accession to the ECHR will afford citizens protection against the action of the Union similar to that which they already enjoy against action by all the Member States; this is all the more worthwhile because the Member States have transferred substantial powers to the Union, – accession will contribute to the harmonious development of the case law of the two European courts in the field of human rights, particularly because of the increased need for dialogue, – accession will not in any way call into question the principle of the autonomy of the Union's law, as the Court of Justice will remain the sole supreme court adjudicating on issues relating to EU law and the validity of the Union's acts, as the Court of Human Rights must be regarded notonly as a superiorn authority but rather as a specialised court exercising external supervision over the Union's compliance with obligations under international law arising from its accession to the ECHR; thus the Court of Justice will have a status analogous to that currently enjoyed by the supreme courts of the Member States in relation to the Court of Human Rights;

Paragraph 11
Paragraph 11
11. Is aware that accession as such will not resolve the extremely serious problems facing the ECHR system, namely on the one hand the excessive workload due to an exponential increase in the number of individual applications and on the other hand the reform of the structure and functioning of the Court to cope with it; notes that, in the absence of a solution to these problems, the system is in danger of collapse and that the entry into force of Protocol No 14, which has so far been delayed by the non-ratification of one State party, will certainly help to reduce the number of uncompleted procedures but will not eliminate them; stresses, in the context of the reform of the European Court of Human Rights, the importance of the Interlaken Declaration with particular reference to paragraph 4 thereof which calls for a uniform and rigorous application of the criteria concerning admissibility and the Court's jurisdiction;
