  The Commission may provide that when considering whether to order interim measures the body responsible may take into account the probable consequences of the measures for all interests likely to be harmed, as well as the public interest, and may decide not to grant such measures where their negative consequences could exceed their benefits. A decision not to grant interim measures shall not prejudice any other claim of the person seeking these measures.

6.
     
  The effects of the exercise of the powers referred to in paragraph 1 on a contract concluded subsequent to its award shall be laid down in the implementing rules.

Furthermore, except where a decision must be set aside prior to the award of damages, the Commission may provide that, after the conclusion of a contract following its award, the powers of the body responsible for the review procedures shall be limited to awarding damages to any person harmed by an infringement.

7.
     
  The Commission shall ensure that decisions taken by bodies responsible for review procedures can be effectively enforced.

8.
     
  Where bodies responsible for review procedures are not judicial in character, written reasons for their decisions shall always be given.

The members of such an independent body shall be appointed and leave office under the same conditions as members of the judiciary as regards the authority responsible for their appointment, their period of office, and their removal. At least the President of this independent body shall have the same legal and professional qualifications as members of the judiciary. The independent body shall take its decisions following a procedure in which both sides are heard, and these decisions shall, by means determined by the Commission, be legally binding.

Reductions must be proportionate to the error objected to.

If the breach of duty is not due to the conduct of the beneficiary, the grant shall be suspended, reduced or terminated only in exceptional cases, particularly if implementing or upholding the grant would result in the ceiling for project costs eligible for financing being exceeded or if the dereliction of duty has the effect of making it impossible for the aim of the grant to be achieved any longer.

| 2. | Notes that the joint report states that the fight against poverty and social exclusion remains a major challenge for the Union and its Member States, as the income-based figures relating to poverty and social exclusion across the Union are very significant, with more than 68 million, or 15 % of the EU population living at risk of poverty in 2002; |

General observations

| 1. | Notes with satisfaction that the revised Lisbon Strategy, which was agreed by the Spring 2005 European Council, has led to the presentation by all Member States of national action plans, focusing on priority areas such as R&D, innovation, and education; reiterates its satisfaction at the fact that this has led to the clarification of competences at EU and national level as well as a better understanding of and cooperation in this complex strategic approach; |

| 2. | Stresses, however, that the effective and speedy implementation of NRPs is necessary; stresses that economic growth requires, inter alia, a supportive economic framework; asks the Member States and the EU, therefore, to assess whether tax systems, research and industrial policy set incentives appropriately and to agree on a coherent EU investment strategy, focusing on the Commission's four proposed priorities, in particular, within that context, on R&D, innovation, education, life-long learning, and social services, as well as the creation of an environment favourable to business; |

NRPs and European growth and employment strategy

| 4. | Stresses the importance of accomplishing fully the internal market through its four core principles, namely the free movement of capital, goods, persons and services; stresses in this context that the adoption of the Services Directive (2) is crucial to opening up the EU's vast services market and contributing to a strong European economy and long-term job creation in accordance with the revised Lisbon Strategy; |

| 24. | Deplores the fact that the European Council intends to cut back the appropriations for trans-European networks called for by Parliament under the next Financial Perspective; recommends using the possibilities offered by the forthcoming launch of the Galileo system to improve electronic traffic flow management, which will necessitate the gradual introduction of an electronic toll system, preventing congestion and involving users in paying the real price of mobility; |

Ageing population: demographic challenges

| 25. | Notes that, in addition to providing new opportunities for our societies, extended life expectancy could give rise to inter-generational tensions because of social security and pension system funding problems related to a rapid increase in the inactive population and a reduction in or, at best, the stabilisation of, the active population; recognises that every Member State will have to make its own choices concerning its social security and pension systems; observes that low economic growth, excessive debt and high unemployment will dramatically accentuate this demographic challenge; concludes that, to minimise the negative consequences of demographic change, it will be essential to implement the Lisbon Strategy in full, to create an inclusive society based on the promotion of high employment, high productivity, innovation and health; |

Stresses the need to reform the current IPR legislation; notes that the cost of registering a patent in the EU varies between 37 500 euro and 57 000 euro while the same process costs only around 10 000 euro in the USA and that the length and notes complexity of the patent procedures are major obstacles to SMEs; calls on the Commission to ensure proper protection of IPRs and to present, as soon as possible, a proposal for the harmonisation of patent laws in Member States in order to create greater legal certainty and promote innovation;
