Amendments 1 and 2 referred to the Thessaloniki Summit in 2003.

Elmar Brok moved an oral amendment to amendment 29, which now read as follows:

| ‘11. | Considers that the Union's proper functioning rests on the unqualified adherence of all its members to the universal values that underlie the EU as a political project: the inalienable and inviolable rights of the human person, freedom, democracy, equality and the rule of law which make up the European identity;’ |

‘11.

Considers that the Union's proper functioning rests on the unqualified adherence of all its members to the universal values that underlie the EU as a political project: the inalienable and inviolable rights of the human person, freedom, democracy, equality and the rule of law which make up the European identity;’

Elmar Brok moved an oral amendment to amendment 16, which now read as follows:

| ‘30a. | Stresses that the Turkish refusal to fully comply with the terms of the Additional Protocol is seriously endangering the good progress of the accession negotiations; points out that the Council decision not to open the negotiations on eight important chapters covering policy areas relevant to Turkey's restrictions as regards the Republic of Cyprus and not to close provisionally any chapters is an unavoidable consequence of Turkey's position on this issue; urges Turkey to cooperate in a constructive way to ensure full implementation of the Additional Protocol as soon as possible; welcomes in this respect the invitation addressed to the Commission to submit yearly reports on progress made in addressing the issues covered by the EU declaration of 21 September 2005;’ |

‘30a.

Stresses that the Turkish refusal to fully comply with the terms of the Additional Protocol is seriously endangering the good progress of the accession negotiations; points out that the Council decision not to open the negotiations on eight important chapters covering policy areas relevant to Turkey's restrictions as regards the Republic of Cyprus and not to close provisionally any chapters is an unavoidable consequence of Turkey's position on this issue; urges Turkey to cooperate in a constructive way to ensure full implementation of the Additional Protocol as soon as possible; welcomes in this respect the invitation addressed to the Commission to submit yearly reports on progress made in addressing the issues covered by the EU declaration of 21 September 2005;’

Giorgos Dimitrakopoulos moved an oral amendment to amendment 17, which now read as follows:

| ‘31. | Sincerely deplores the fact that the efforts of the Finnish Presidency to find a solution to the current stalemate regarding the full implementation of the Additional Protocol on the one hand and further alleviating the isolation of Turkish Cypriots who live in the northern part of the island on the other hand were not successful; calls on the German Presidency to continue these efforts with determination;’ |

‘31.

Sincerely deplores the fact that the efforts of the Finnish Presidency to find a solution to the current stalemate regarding the full implementation of the Additional Protocol on the one hand and further alleviating the isolation of Turkish Cypriots who live in the northern part of the island on the other hand were not successful; calls on the German Presidency to continue these efforts with determination;’

Joost Lagendijk also moved an oral amendment to amendment 17 to include the words

‘in close cooperation with renewed UN efforts’.

The PPE-DE Group had agreed to amendment 29 as an addition.

ANNEX

Commission Statement on Alternative Methods

As part of the Community's strategy to promote alternative test methods, the development of methods covering computer supported, in vitro and other methodologies, including refinement of current methods, has been a priority for decades. Between 1999 and 2002 (Fifth Framework Programme), the EU supported 43 research projects worth 65 million euro, several of which are still ongoing. In the current Research Framework Programme (Sixth Framework Programme: 2003-2006), the European Union is investing more than 90 million euro to develop robust, effective, non-animal testing methods that will withstand the requirements of international validation.

Research activities will continue in the forthcoming Seventh Framework Programme (2007-2013) through coordinated activities on alternative methods and strategies for safety testing focused on pharmaceuticals (under the Health theme) and industrial chemicals (under the Environment theme). Consideration has been given to which methods could make the most contribution to reducing animal testing within REACH, taking due account of the time needed to develop tests and the relevant registration deadlines in REACH. As a result, the Seventh Framework Programme includes the development of methods that could directly support the reduction of the use of animals in testing within REACH. Involvement of stakeholders is being sought through initiatives such as the European Partnership for Alternative Approaches to Animal Testing, launched on 7 November 2005 by Commissioners Potocnik and Verheugen together with industry. By effectively pooling Commission and industry experience, expertise and resources, a common coordinated Partnership at EU level and across sectors will be more effective than historically fragmented initiatives in this area.

The validation of alternative testing methods has been a priority for the Commission since 1991. To this end, the Commission set up the European Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods (ECVAM), a specific unit within the Joint Research Centre with the task of coordinating the validation of alternative test methods at European Union level, and promoting the development, validation and international recognition of alternative test methods. The Commission will continue to validate appropriate methods and will consider the application of validated methods in Community legislation. Today, suitable methods are used in the context of the Community legislation on chemicals, to adapt Annex V of Directive 67/548/EEC. The Commission recognises the importance of securing regulatory acceptance for such methods as rapidly as possible and has adopted several validated alternative test methods in Annex V of Directive 67/548/EEC ahead of their eventual international acceptance. The Commission will give a high priority to ensuring that the REACH testing regulation is adapted as soon as possible after appropriate validated methods become available.

The Commission will continue to be active in international fora, particularly the OECD where it contributes to the development of new standards for tests and with especial focus on newly validated methods as mentioned above.

The regulatory framework in which test methods are used is as important as the specific methods. Since its very beginning, the minimisation of animal testing has been a key element of the design of REACH and the Commission has consistently worked to improve this aspect of the proposal. This can be seen in terms of significant changes throughout the process such as adding the pre-registration phase as a result of feedback on the White Paper in 2001 and accepting a single pre-registration date as proposed in both Parliament's First Reading Opinion and the Council Common Position. Minimisation of animal testing is also apparent in the detailed legislative text, including encouragement for grouping of substances, evaluation of testing proposals and use of read across. Important work related to reducing the use of animals is on-going in the RIPs (REACH Implementation Projects) with the development of intelligent testing strategies. The Commission is committed to continuing this work after the adoption of REACH. For example the development and maintenance of guidelines and Agency procedures will offer further opportunities to address concerns over animal testing.

The Commission will also consider relevant aspects in the review of Directive 86/609/EEC, specifically in relation to the ways in which the development, validation and regulatory acceptance of alternative methods in accordance with the ‘Three Rs’ principle could be further promoted.

Commission Statement on tobacco additives in the context of the negotiations on REACH and addressing the EP amendments on tobacco additives

The REACH Regulation covers chemical ingredients in tobacco products like any other chemical substance. As such, they will need to be registered and be subject to evaluation, restriction or authorisation under the REACH system. Some of their effects in burnt form should be covered by any required chemical safety assessments.

Once the REACH system is in operation, it will be necessary to summarise and to take into account the information made available under REACH on tobacco ingredients in order to benefit better from the synergies with the ongoing work in the context of Directive 2001/37/EC on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning the manufacture, presentation and sale of tobacco products.

In the context of Directive 2001/37/EC, the Commission is committed to promote:

| — | the development and application of a harmonised reporting format for tobacco ingredients in order to create a precondition for systematic assessment of tobacco ingredients. This could evolve, at a later stage, into the setting up of a European data bank on tobacco ingredients and their effects; |

cooperation of independent tobacco laboratories within the EU in order to create the operational basis for a shared analysis and assessment of tobacco ingredients and/or smoke emissions by the Member States, and subsequent consideration on the form of a possible proposal for a common list of ingredients.

| --- | --- |

—

consider co-financing research on toxicity and in particular addictiveness of tobacco ingredients and/or smoke emissions in the context of the Research Framework Programme.

By the next review of Directive 2001/37/EC, which will be based on the report on its implementation due at the end of 2007, the Commission will consider further development of the framework for the assessment of tobacco ingredients in the light of the experience gathered and impact assessments on different options.

The burden of proof on the health effects of the contents and emissions of tobacco products should lie fully with the industry, which should be responsible for the financing of the development, validation and carrying out of the appropriate toxicological and addictiveness tests. This process must be led by the public health authorities to ensure that all the methodologies developed properly address public health concerns.

On the basis of the principle established in the previous paragraph concerning the role of the industry in financing the tests, the Commission will examine the concrete options for raising adequate human and financial resources in order to fund any substantial work programme on evaluating ingredients and smoke emissions in order to assess properly the results from a health perspective.

The Commission is aware that the development and validation of methodologies and the evaluation of substances is a demanding task that will take several years.

Therefore, the maximum threshold for advance commitments against the EAGF (from 15 November of year n – 1) to cover routine management expenditure (charged to the budget of year n) should be increased to three quarters of corresponding appropriations in the last adopted agricultural budget. As regards the limit on advance commitment of administrative expenditure, the text should be amended so that it refers to appropriations decided by the budget authority, excluding therefore transfers of appropriations. |

This procedure should be made available in respect of all other programmes.

| (52a) | Transitional provisions should be added. First, in Article 181(1), as regards the making available again of decommitted appropriations corresponding to commitments made during the 2000-2006 Structural Funds programming period, the case of force majeure should continue to be applied as provided in the Financial Regulation of 25 June 2002 until the closure of the assistance. This is in order to avoid disruption of the current system since force majeure is treated differently in the new Regulation governing the Structural Funds. Second, in Article 181(2), to deal with the implementation of the provisions on the central database for exclusion from participation in procurement and grant procedures. Finally, in Article 181(3) to deal with the outstanding Community commitments to be financially settled in order to close the assistance provided for in the Regulations governing the Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund for the 2000-2006 programming period. For the appropriations concerning operational expenditure, the possibility for the Commission to make transfers from one title to another must be preserved, provided that the appropriations in question are for the same objective. Similarly, the Commission may continue to make transfers from one title to another when the appropriations in question relate to Community initiatives or technical assistance and innovative measures, provided that they are transferred to measures of the same nature. This means for instance transferring appropriations relating to one Community initiative to another, in a different title. |

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 13 December 2006 with a view to the adoption of Directive 2007/.../EC of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Directive 89/552/EEC on the coordination of certain provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in Member States concerning the pursuit of television broadcasting activities

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 47(2) and 55 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (2),

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (3),

Whereas:

| (1) | Directive 89/552/EEC (4) coordinates certain provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in Member States concerning the pursuit of broadcasting activities. However, new technologies in the transmission of audiovisual media services call for the regulatory framework to be adapted to take account
  of the spread of information and communication technologies (ICT) and
  the impact of structural change and technological developments on business models, especially the financing of commercial broadcasting, and to ensure optimal conditions of competitiveness
  and legal certainty
  for Europe's information technologies and its media industries and services,
  as well as respect for cultural and linguistic diversity. The laws, regulations and administrative measures should be as unobtrusive and simple as possible to allow new and existing audiovisual media services to develop and flourish, thus allowing for job creation, economic growth, innovation and cultural diversity to be nurtured. |

  as well as respect for cultural and linguistic diversity. The laws, regulations and administrative measures should be as unobtrusive and simple as possible to allow new and existing audiovisual media services to develop and flourish, thus allowing for job creation, economic growth, innovation and cultural diversity to be nurtured.

| (2) | The laws, regulations and administrative measures in Member States concerning the pursuit of television broadcasting activities are already coordinated by Directive 89/552/EEC, whereas the rules applicable to activities such as
  on-demand media services are only coordinated in relation to their distribution by Directive 2002/21/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a common regulatory framework for electronic communications networks and services (Framework Directive) (5) and in relation to trading by Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2000 on certain legal aspects of information society services, in particular electronic commerce, in the internal market (6) (the Electronic Commerce Directive); the content of the new audiovisual media services is still governed by the legislation of the Member States. Some of these disparities impede
  the free movement of these services within the European Union and may distort competition within the common
  market

  —
  education
  and culture justifies the application of specific rules to these services,
  and the enforcement of those rules, notably in order to preserve the fundamental rights and freedoms laid down in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, the European Convention for Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and the United Nations Covenant on Civil and Political Freedoms, and in order to ensure the protection of minors and vulnerable and disabled people. |

In its resolution of 27 April 2006 on the proposal for a Council decision on the conclusion of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions (9), the European Parliament approved the UNESCO Convention, which states in particular that ‘cultural activities, goods and services have both an economic and a cultural nature, because they convey identities, values and meanings, and must therefore not be treated as solely having commercial value’. |

  in order
  to avoid distortions of

  improve legal certainty,
  to help complete the internal market and to facilitate the emergence of a single information area, for all audiovisual media services, both linear and non-linear, irrespective of whether they are transmitted on the basis of a set programme schedule or on demand, to comply with
  at least a basic tier of coordinated rules
  aimed at guaranteeing, inter alia, a sufficient level of protection of minors, the vulnerable and the disabled and respect for fundamental rights and freedoms . The basic principles of Directive 89/552/EEC, namely the transmitting State principle and common minimum standards, have proved their worth and should therefore be retained. |

  the need for media pluralism,
  the protection of
  minors, consumer
  protection
  and action to enhance public awareness and media skills and the principle of universal access for all sectors of the public, including the most disadvantaged,

The country of origin principle is crucial to the emergence of a pan-European audiovisual market with a strong industry producing European content. Moreover, the principle safeguards the viewer's rights to choose from a wide variety of European programmes.

| (11) | The Commission has adopted the initiative ‘i2010: European Information Society’ (11) to foster growth and jobs in the information society and media industries. The i2010 initiative is a comprehensive strategy designed to encourage
  the production of European content,
  the development of the digital economy and
  the uptake of ICT,
  against the background of the convergence of information and media services, networks and devices, by modernising and deploying all EU policy instruments: regulatory instruments, research and partnerships with industry. The Commission has committed itself to creating a consistent internal market framework for information society
  services
  and media services by modernising the legal framework for audiovisual services, starting with a Commission proposal in 2005 to modernise Directive
  89/552/EEC and transform it into a directive on audiovisual media services. The goal of the i2010 initiative will in principle be achieved by allowing industries to grow with minimal regulation, as well as allowing small start-up businesses, which are the wealth and job creators of the future, to flourish, innovate and create employment in a de-regulated market. |

| (12) | On 6 September 2005, the European Parliament adopted a Resolution on the application of Articles 4 and 5 of Directive 89/552/EEC (‘Television without Frontiers’), as amended by Directive 97/36/EC, for the period 2001-2002 (12). That Resolution —
  like its resolution on Television without Frontiers of 4 September 2003 (13)

  — calls for Directive 89/552/EEC to be adapted to structural changes and technological developments while fully respecting its underlying principles, which remain valid. In addition, in principle it supports the general approach of basic rules for all audiovisual media services and additional rules for linear (‘broadcasting’) services. |

  — calls for Directive 89/552/EEC to be adapted to structural changes and technological developments while fully respecting its underlying principles, which remain valid. In addition, in principle it supports the general approach of basic rules for all audiovisual media services and additional rules for linear (‘broadcasting’) services.

| (13) | This Directive enhances compliance with fundamental rights and
  seeks to incorporate the principles, rights and freedoms laid down in
  the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, in particular Article 11 thereof.
  In this context, Member States should set up one or more independent regulatory authorities, if they have not already done so. Such authorities should act as the guarantors of fundamental rights in the provision of audiovisual media services. Member States may decide whether it is appropriate to have a single regulatory authority for all audiovisual media services or several separate authorities for each category of service, e.g. linear and non-linear. Furthermore,
  this Directive does not in any way prevent Member States from applying their constitutional rules
  or regulatory arrangements
  relating to freedom of the press and freedom of expression in the media. |

| (14) | The requirement that the originating Member State should ensure compliance with its national law as coordinated by this Directive is sufficient under Community law to ensure free movement of audiovisual media services without secondary control on the same grounds in the receiving Member State. However, the receiving Member State may, exceptionally and under specific conditions, derogate from this requirement in the event of serious violations of Articles 3d, 3e, 22(1) and (2) of Directive 89/552/EEC, taking into account the fact that respect for fundamental rights forms an integral part of the general principles of Community law. |

| (16) | The Electronic Commerce Directive contains no specific substantive provisions governing audiovisual media services and leaves to the Member States the option of derogating from the country of origin principle on specific matters of public policy on a case-by-case basis and in accordance with a notification procedure. By imposing additional minimum standards for non-linear audiovisual media services with a view to the protection of minors and the promotion of cultural diversity, this Directive extends the field of harmonised Community law. To that extent this Directive builds on the Electronic Commerce Directive in those areas to cover a specific subset of non-linear audiovisual services which are of particular importance for society and are characterised by their cultural dimension. For these services the degree of coordination of national rules is higher and the internal market is more complete. |

| (18) | The definition of audiovisual media services covers all audiovisual mass-media services
  the content of which is suitable for television broadcasting irrespective of the delivery platform, whether the editorial approach and responsibility of the provider are reflected in a programme schedule or in a selection catalogue.
  However, its scope is limited to services as defined by the Treaty and therefore covers any form of economic activity, including that of public service enterprises.
  The economic element must be significant to justify the application of this Directive. Economic activities are normally provided for remuneration, intended for a certain period and characterised by a certain continuity; the assessment of the economic element should be subject to the criteria and rules of the country of origin. Accordingly, the definition of audiovisual media services
  does not cover non-economic activities
  which are normally not provided for remuneration, such as weblogs and other user-generated content, or any form of private correspondence, such as e-mails and

| (38) | In its Communication to the Council and the European Parliament on Better Regulation for Growth and Jobs in the European Union (17), the Commission stressed that a careful analysis of the appropriate regulatory approach, in particular whether legislation is preferable for the relevant sector and problem, or whether alternatives such as co-regulation or self regulation should be considered.
  Furthermore
  , experience has shown that
  both
  co- and self-regulation instruments implemented in accordance with the different legal traditions of Member States can play an important role in delivering a high level of consumer protection.
  Measures aimed at achieving public interest objectives in the emerging audiovisual media services sector will be more effective if they are taken with the active support of the service providers themselves. Thus self-regulation constitutes a type of voluntary initiative, which enables economic operators, social partners, non-governmental organisations or associations to adopt common guidelines amongst themselves and for themselves. Member States should, in accordance with their different legal traditions, recognise the effective role which effective self-regulation can play as a complement to the legislation and judicial and/or administrative mechanisms in place and its useful contribution to the achievement of the objectives of this Directive. However, while self-regulation might be a complementary method of implementing certain provisions of this Directive, it cannot constitute a substitute for the obligation of the national legislator.

| (39) | The generic term ‘co-regulation’ covers regulatory instruments which are based on cooperation between State bodies and self-regulating bodies, and vary widely in terms of their designations and structures at national level. The actual form which such instruments take reflects the specific tradition of media regulation in the individual Member States. What co-regulation systems have in common is that tasks and objectives which were originally the preserve of the State are achieved in cooperation with the players affected by regulation. It is for the participants themselves, designated or authorised by the State, to guarantee the achievement of the regulatory objective. In every case the systems are founded on a State legal framework which lays down instructions as to content, organisation and procedures. On this basis, the interested parties create further criteria, rules and instruments, compliance with which they themselves monitor. Self-regulation as thus defined enables specialist knowledge to be exploited directly for administrative tasks, and bureaucratic procedures to be avoided. It is necessary for all, or at least the most influential, players to participate in or recognise the system. Co-regulation operates by combining instructions to the interested parties with opportunities for State intervention should those instructions not be carried out. |

  must
  grant other broadcasters and intermediaries, where they are acting on behalf of broadcasters, the right to use short extracts for the purposes of general news
  programmes
  on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms taking due account of exclusive rights. Such terms should be communicated in a timely manner before the event of public interest takes place to give others sufficient time to exercise such a right. As a general rule, such short extracts should not: exceed 90 seconds;
  be transmitted before the event concludes, or for sports events before the end of a single day's play — whichever is the sooner; be screened later than 36 hours after the event; be used to create a public archive; omit the logo or other identifier of the host broadcaster; or be used in non-linear services other than if offered on a live or deferred basis by the same media service provider. The right to trans-frontier news access should apply only where it is necessary. Accordingly, if another broadcaster in the same Member State has acquired exclusive rights to the event in question, access must be sought from that broadcaster. For pan-European broadcasters, the relevant legislation is that of the Member State in which the event takes place. |

| (42) | Media literacy refers to the skills, knowledge and understanding needed to enable consumers to use the media effectively.

Non-linear services differ from linear services in terms of the choice and control which the user can exercise and with regard to the impact which they have on society (18). Such difference justifies imposing lighter regulation on non-linear services, which have to comply only with the basic rules provided for in Articles 3c to 3h of Directive 89/552/EEC.

| (44) | Because of the specific nature of audiovisual media services, especially their impact on the way in which people form their opinions, it is essential for users to know exactly who is responsible for the content of the services. It is therefore important for Member States to ensure that
  users have access to information about the ways in which
  editorial responsibility for the content
  is exercised and by whom.
  It is for each Member State to decide the practical details as to how this objective can be achieved without prejudice to any other relevant provisions of Community law. |

  in certain cases determined on the basis of a positive list,

Moreover, as Directive 2003/33/EC (21), which prohibits advertising and sponsorship for cigarettes and other tobacco products in printed media, information society services and radio broadcasting, is without prejudice to Directive 89/552/EEC, in view of the special characteristics of audiovisual media services, the relationship between Directive 2003/33/EC and Directive 89/552/EEC should remain the same after the entry into force of this Directive. Article 88(1) of Directive 2001/83/EC (22) which prohibits advertising to the general public of certain medicine products applies, as provided in paragraph 5 of that Article, without prejudice to Article 14 of Directive 89/552/EEC; likewise the relationship between Directive 2001/83/EC and Directive 89/552/EEC should remain the same after the entry into force of this Directive.

  The definition of product placement covers any form of audiovisual commercial communication consisting of the inclusion of or reference to a product, a service or the trade mark thereof so that it is featured within a programme, normally in return for payment or for similar consideration. It
  may consist in placing at a person's disposal services or items having a monetary value, for the acquisition of which the recipient would otherwise have had to use his own financial, personal or material resources. Product placement
  is subject to the same qualitative rules and restrictions applying to advertising.
  It should, furthermore, meet specific requirements. The editorial responsibility and independence of the media service provider must not be jeopardised. In particular, the way the product is included in the programme must not create the impression that the product is endorsed by the programme or its presenters. Furthermore, the product must not be given ‘undue prominence’ which means such prominence as is not justified by the editorial requirements of the programme, or the need to lend verisimilitude. Undue prominence may also mean the repeated appearance of the brands, goods or services in question or the manner in which they are given prominence. Account should also be taken of the content of the programme in which they are introduced. |

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 13 December 2006 with a view to the adoption of Regulation (EC) No .../2006 of the European Parliament and Council on establishing the European Globalisation adjustment Fund

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the third paragraph of Article 159,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the Opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (2),

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 (3),

Whereas:

| (1) | Notwithstanding the positive effects of globalisation on growth, jobs and prosperity and the need to enhance European competitiveness further through structural change, globalisation may also have negative consequences for the most vulnerable and least qualified workers in some sectors. It is therefore opportune to establish a European Globalisation adjustment Fund (the EGF), accessible to all Member States, through which the Community would show its solidarity towards workers affected by redundancies resulting from changes in world trade patterns. |

It is therefore opportune to establish a European Globalisation adjustment Fund (the EGF), accessible to all Member States, through which the Community would show its solidarity towards workers affected by redundancies resulting from changes in world trade patterns.

| (2) | It is necessary to preserve European values and to promote the development of fair external trade. The negative effects of globalisation should be tackled in the first instance by a long-term, sustainable Community strategy for trade policy aiming at high social and ecological standards. The assistance provided by the EGF should be dynamic and capable of adapting to constantly changing and often unforeseen circumstances in the market. |

| (3) | The EGF should provide specific, one-off support to facilitate the re-integration into employment of workers in areas, sectors territories, or labour market regions suffering the shock of serious economic disruption. The EGF should promote entrepreneurship, for example through micro-credits or for setting up cooperative projects. |

| (4) | Actions under this Regulation should be defined according to strict intervention criteria relating to the scale of economic dislocation and its impact on a given sector or geographical area, to ensure that the financial contribution from the EGF is concentrated on workers in the most seriously affected regions and economic sectors of the Community. Such dislocation is not necessarily concentrated in a single Member State. In such exceptional circumstances, Member States may therefore submit joint requests for assistance from the EGF. |

| (7) | A specific action funded under this Regulation should not receive financial assistance from other Community financial instruments.

preventing, detecting and correcting irregularities as defined in Article 70 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 of 11 July 2006 laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund and the Cohesion Fund (6), and recovering amounts unduly paid together with interest on late payments in accordance with the same Article. They shall notify these to the Commission in due time and keep the Commission informed of the progress of administrative and legal proceedings.

2.   The Member State shall make the financial corrections required where an irregularity is ascertained. The corrections made by the Member State shall consist in cancelling all or part of the Community contribution. The Member State shall recover any amount lost as a result of an irregularity detected, repay it to the Commission and, where the amount is not repaid in the time allowed by the Member State concerned, default interest shall be due.

3.   The Commission, in its responsibility for the implementation of the general budget of the European Communities, shall take every step necessary to verify that the actions financed are carried out in accordance with the principles of sound and efficient financial management, in compliance with the provisions of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002. It is the responsibility of each Member State to ensure that it has smoothly functioning management and control systems; the Commission shall satisfy itself that such systems are in place.

To that end, without prejudice to the powers of the Court of Auditors or the checks carried out by the Member State in accordance with national laws, regulations and administrative provisions, Commission officials or servants may carry out on-the-spot checks, including sample checks, on the actions financed by the Fund with a minimum of one working day's notice. The Commission shall give notice to the Member State concerned with a view to obtaining all the assistance necessary. Officials or servants of the Member State concerned may take part in such checks.

4.   The Member State shall ensure that all supporting documents regarding expenditure incurred are kept available for the Commission and the Court of Auditors for a period of three years following the winding-up of the financial contribution received from the EGF.

Article 19

Reimbursement of financial contribution

1.   In cases where the amount of the actual cost of an action is less than the estimated amount quoted pursuant to Article 12, the Commission shall require the Member State to reimburse a corresponding amount of the financial contribution received.

2.   Where the Member State has failed to comply with the obligations stated in the decision on a financial contribution, the Commission shall take the necessary steps to require the Member State to reimburse all or part of the financial contribution received.

3.   Prior to the adoption of a decision under paragraphs 1 or 2, the Commission shall conduct a suitable examination of the case and shall, in particular, allow the Member State a specified period of time in which to submit its comments.

4.   If, after completing the necessary verifications, the Commission concludes that the Member State is not complying with its obligations under Article 18(1), it shall, if no agreement has been reached and the Member State has not made the corrections in a period set by the Commission, and taking account of any comments made by the Member State, decide within three months from the end of the period referred above to make the financial corrections required by cancelling all or part of the contribution of the EGF to the action in question. Any amount lost as a result of an irregularity detected shall be recovered and, where the amount is not repaid in the time allowed by the Member State concerned, default interest shall be due.

Article 20

Review clause

On the basis of the first annual report provided for in Article 16, the European Parliament and the Council may review this Regulation, on the basis of a proposal by the Commission, to ensure that the solidarity objective of the EGF is met and that its provisions adequately take into account the economic, social and territorial characteristics of all Member States.

The European Parliament and the Council shall in any case review this Regulation by 31 December 2013.

Article 21

Entry into force

This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 13 December 2006 with a view to the adoption of Regulation (EC) No .../2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council on type approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and Euro 6) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),

Whereas:

| (1) | The internal market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital must be ensured. To that end a comprehensive Community type approval system for motor vehicles, established by Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (3), is in place. The technical requirements for the type approval of motor vehicles with regard to emissions should therefore be harmonised to avoid requirements that differ from one Member State to another, and to ensure a high level of environmental protection. |

This Regulation is one of a number of separate regulatory acts in the context of the Community type approval procedure under Directive 70/156/EEC. Therefore, that Directive should be amended accordingly.

| (3) | At the request of the European Parliament a new regulatory approach has been introduced in EU vehicle legislation. Thus, this Regulation lays down fundamental provisions on vehicle emissions, whereas the technical specifications will be laid down by implementing measures adopted following comitology procedures. |

At the request of the European Parliament a new regulatory approach has been introduced in EU vehicle legislation. Thus, this Regulation lays down fundamental provisions on vehicle emissions, whereas the technical specifications will be laid down by implementing measures adopted following comitology procedures.

| (4) | In March 2001 the Commission launched the Clean Air For Europe (CAFE) programme, the major elements of which are outlined in a communication of 4 May 2005. This has led to the adoption of a thematic strategy on air pollution by a communication of 21 September 2005. One of the conclusions of the thematic strategy is that further reductions in emissions from the transport sector (air, maritime and land transport), from households and from the energy, agricultural and industrial sectors are needed to achieve EU air quality objectives. In this context, the task of reducing vehicle emissions should be approached as part of an overall strategy. The Euro 5 and 6 standards are one of the measures designed to reduce emissions of particulate matter and ozone precursors such as nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons. |

Achieving EU air quality objectives requires a continuing effort to reduce vehicle emissions. For that reason, industry should be provided with clear information on future emission limit values. This is why this Regulation includes, in addition to Euro 5, the Euro 6 stage of emission limit values.

| (6) | In particular, a considerable reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions from diesel vehicles is necessary to improve air quality and comply with limit values for pollution. This requires reaching ambitious limit values at the Euro 6 stage without being obliged to forego the advantages of diesel engines in terms of fuel consumption and hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions. Setting such a step for reducing nitrogen oxide emissions at an early stage will provide long-term, Europe-wide planning security for vehicle manufacturers. |

Setting such a step for reducing nitrogen oxide emissions at an early stage will provide long-term, Europe-wide planning security for vehicle manufacturers.

| (7) | In setting emissions standards it is important to take into account the implications for markets and manufacturers' competitiveness, the direct and indirect costs imposed on business and the benefits that accrue in terms of stimulating innovation, improving air quality, reducing health costs and increasing life expectancy, as well as the implications for the overall impact on carbon dioxide emissions. |

| (8) | Unrestricted access to vehicle repair information, via a standardised format which can be used to retrieve the technical information, and effective competition on the market for vehicle repair and maintenance information services are necessary to improve the functioning of the internal market, particularly as regards the free movement of goods, freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services. A great proportion of such information is related to on-board diagnostic (OBD) systems and their interaction with other vehicle systems. It is appropriate to lay down technical specifications that manufacturers' websites should follow, along with targeted measures to ensure reasonable access for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Common standards agreed with the involvement of stakeholders, such as the OASIS (4) format, can facilitate the exchange of information between manufacturers and service providers. It is therefore appropriate to initially require the use of the technical specifications of the OASIS format and to ask the Commission to request CEN/ISO to further develop this format into a standard with a view to replacing the OASIS format in due course. |

| (9) | Not later than four years after the date of entry into force of this Regulation, the Commission should review the operation of the system of access to all vehicle repair and maintenance information with a view to determining whether it would be appropriate to consolidate all provisions governing access to vehicle repair and maintenance information within a revised framework Directive on type approval. If the provisions governing access to all vehicle information are incorporated into that Directive, the corresponding provisions in this Regulation should be repealed, as long as the existing rights for access to repair and maintenance information are preserved. |

| (10) | The Commission should keep under review emissions which are as yet unregulated and which arise as a consequence of the wider use of new fuel formulations, engine technologies and emission control systems and, where necessary, submit a proposal to the European Parliament and to the Council with a view to regulating such emissions. |

| (13) | In order to ensure that emissions of ultra fine particulate matter (PM 0,1 μm and below) are controlled, the Commission should adopt as soon as possible, and introduce at the latest upon entry into force of the Euro 6 stage, a number based approach to emissions of PM in addition to the mass based approach which is currently used. The number based approach to emissions of PM should draw on the results of the UN/ECE's Particulate Measurement Programme (PMP) and be consistent with the existing ambitious objectives for the environment. |

| (14) | To provide greater repeatability in measuring the mass and number of particulate emissions in the laboratory, the Commission should adopt a new measurement procedure replacing the current one. This should be introduced as soon as possible and at the latest upon entry into force of the Euro 6 stage. It should be based on the results of the PMP. When the new measurement procedure is implemented, the PM mass emission limits set out in this Regulation should be recalibrated, as the new procedure records a lower level of mass than the current one. |

Updating or replacement of the test cycles may be required to reflect changes in vehicle specification and driver behaviour. Revisions may be necessary to ensure that real world emissions correspond to those measured at type approval. The use of portable emission measurement systems and the introduction of the ‘not-to-exceed’ regulatory concept should also be considered. |

| (19) | Member States should be able, by means of financial incentives, to accelerate the placing on the market of vehicles which satisfy the requirements adopted at Community level. However, such incentives should comply with the provisions of the Treaty, in particular the rules on state aid. This is in order to avoid distortions of the internal market. This Regulation should not affect the Member States' right to include emissions in the basis for calculating taxes levied on vehicles. |

This Regulation should not affect the Member States' right to include emissions in the basis for calculating taxes levied on vehicles.

| (20) | Given that the legislation on vehicle emissions and fuel consumption has developed over more than 35 years and is now spread over more than 24 Directives, it is advisable to replace those Directives by a new regulation and a number of implementing measures. A regulation will ensure that the detailed technical provisions are directly applicable to manufacturers, approval authorities and technical services and that they can be updated in a much faster and more efficient way. Directives 70/220/EEC (5), 72/306/EEC (6), 74/290/EEC (7), 80/1268/EEC (8), 83/351/EEC (9), 88/76/EEC (10), 88/436/EEC (11), 89/458/EEC (12), 91/441/EEC (13), 93/59/EEC (14), 94/12/EC (15), 96/69/EC (16), 98/69/EC (17), 2001/1/EC (18), 2001/100/EC (19) and 2004/3/EC (20) should therefore be repealed. In addition, the Member States should also repeal the transposing legislation of the repealed Directives. |

In addition, the Member States should also repeal the transposing legislation of the repealed Directives.

| (21) | In order to clarify the scope of legislation on vehicle emissions, Directive 2005/55/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 September 2005 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the measures to be taken against the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants from compression-ignition engines for use in vehicles, and the emission of gaseous pollutants from positive-ignition engines fuelled with natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas for use in vehicles (21) should be amended in such a way as to cover all heavy-duty vehicles so as to make clear that this Regulation concerns light-duty vehicles. |

| (2a) | Since the introduction of the common organisation of the market (COM) in bananas, in response to competition from third-country banana producers and with a view to ensuring proper use of Community funds, the whole industry has made major modernisation efforts covering all stages from production to marketing, significantly raising productivity and improving product quality while reducing the environmental impact of its activities. The COM has also encouraged the concentration of Community supply, which has contributed to the sector's consolidation in producer regions and facilitated the marketing of European bananas. |

In order to meet the objectives that lay at the heart of the reform of the common agricultural policy, the support for cotton, olive oil, raw tobacco, hops and bananas should be largely de-coupled and integrated into the Single Payment Scheme.

A part of the support should therefore continue to be linked to the cultivation of bananas through a crop specific payment per eligible hectare.

To this end it is necessary to include the compensatory aid for bananas in the list of direct payments in relation to the single payment scheme referred to in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003. Provision should also be made for the establishment by Member States of reference amounts and eligible hectares under the Single Payment Scheme on the basis of a representative period appropriate to the banana market and of appropriate objective and non-discriminatory criteria. Areas planted with bananas should not be excluded due to their being treated as permanent crops. National ceilings should be amended appropriately. Provision should also be made for the Commission to adopt detailed rules and any necessary transitional measures. |

Transferable securities

| 3. | Stresses the importance of a presumption of liquidity in relation to the transferable securities, as referred to in Article 2(1) of the draft implementing directive, for the proper functioning of asset management activities, and calls on the Commission to make provision for the inclusion of this principle at the appropriate level; |

Money market instruments

| 4. | Calls on the Commission to extend the settlement period for money market instruments, which are normally traded on the money markets, from one year to a maximum of precisely 397 days, which will mean that money market instruments either have a maturity at issue of up to 397 days or have a residual maturity of up to 397 days or undergo regular yield adjustments in line with money market conditions at least every 397 days; points out in this regard that this amendment both takes into account Directive 2004/39/EC (7) and allows comparability with the rules of the US Financial Supervisory Authority; |
