José Ignacio Salafranca Sánchez-Neyra, li ħa post Elmar Brok, rapporteur, ressaq l-emendi orali li ġejjin:

Paragrafu 28a ġdid:

28 bis. “Acknowledges that the United Nations has asked the European Union to contribute to the security of the upcoming elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo by means of a military mission; asks the Council to carefully examine the existing possibilities”;

Paragrafu 38

38. “Is of the view that the Union must do its utmost to work with the Iraqi authorities, the United Nations and other relevant regional actors to contribute to Iraq's constitutional process in the wake of the general elections held on 15 December 2005; welcomes the CFSP joint action on the European Union Integrated Rule of Law Mission for Iraq and asks for further actions to be financed under the Community's budget; supports the opening of a Commission delegation in Baghdad in the coming months;”

Jan Marinus Wiersma ressaq l-emenda orali li ġejja:

Emenda 6

9bis “Emphasises the important foreign policy dimension of energy security issues; recommends that an update of the European Security Policies should pay special attention to addressing the Union's increasing dependence on energy and other strategic supplies from countries and regions that are ever more unstable, highlighting possible future scenarios and the question of access to and the development of alternative sources; believes that the recent unilateral gas delivery suspensions by Russia call for a strategic response from the EU; asks the Commission to present a communication on the foreign and neighbourhood policy aspects of the energy policy”;

Hannes Swoboda ressaq l-emenda orali li ġejja:

Emenda 4

24bis “Calls on the Council and the Commission to play an active role in the ongoing process of constitutional reform in Bosnia-Herzegovina with a view to reaching an agreement among the political forces and in public opinion about going beyond the institutional framework as set out in the Dayton accords, to streamline and rationalise the present institutional architecture in order to create a more efficient and self-sustainable state, also with a view to future European integration, and in order to lay down the conditions for a representative democracy that eliminates the current ethnic divisions”;

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 2 February 2006 with a view to the adoption of Directive 2006/.../EC of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down rules on nominal quantities for pre-packed products, repealing Council Directives 75/106/EEC and 80/232/EEC, and amending Council Directive 76/211/EEC

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),

After consulting the Committee of the Regions,

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

Whereas:

| (1) | Council Directives 75/106/EEC of 19 December 1974 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making-up by volume of certain prepackaged liquids (3)
  and 80/232/EEC of 15 January 1980 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the ranges of nominal quantities and nominal capacities permitted for certain prepackaged products (4) set out nominal quantities for a number of liquid and non-liquid prepacked products, the purpose of which was to ensure the free movement of products complying with the requirements of the Directives. For most products, national nominal quantities are allowed to exist alongside the Community nominal quantities. For some products, however, Community nominal quantities are set to the exclusion of national nominal quantities. |

For most products, national nominal quantities are allowed to exist alongside the Community nominal quantities. For some products, however, Community nominal quantities are set to the exclusion of national nominal quantities.

| (2) | Changes in consumer preferences and innovation in pre-packing and retailing at Community and national level have made it necessary to assess whether the existing legislation is still appropriate. |

Changes in consumer preferences and innovation in pre-packing and retailing at Community and national level have made it necessary to assess whether the existing legislation is still appropriate.

| (3) | The European Court of Justice confirmed in its judgment of 12 October 2000 in Case C-3/99 Cidre-Ruwet (5) that Member States are precluded from prohibiting the marketing of a pre-package having a nominal volume not included in the Community range which is lawfully manufactured and marketed in another Member State, unless such a prohibition is designed to meet an overriding requirement relating to consumer protection, applies without distinction to national and imported products alike, is necessary in order to meet the requirement in question, is proportionate to the objective pursued and that objective cannot be achieved by measures which are less restrictive of intra-Community trade. |

| (4) | Consumer protection is facilitated by
  directives which were adopted after Directives 75/106/EEC and 80/232/EEC, notably Directive 98/6/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 on consumer protection in the indication of the prices of products offered to consumers (6). |

| (5) | An impact assessment, including
  a consultation
  of all interested stakeholders, indicated that
  , in many sectors,
  free nominal quantities increase the freedom of producers to provide goods according to consumer tastes and enhance competition as regards quality and price on the internal market.
  In other sectors, however, it is more appropriate, in the interests of consumers and business, to retain mandatory nominal quantities for the time being. |

| (7) | A study devoted to the impact of this Directive on the most vulnerable consumers (the elderly, the visually impaired, the disabled, consumers with a low level of education and so on) has confirmed the theory that deregulation of packaging formats would entail major drawbacks for these consumers, while triggering a reduction in the number of brands offered to consumers and hence reducing choice and, consequently, competition in the market. |

| (8) | Nominal quantities should generally not be subject to regulation at Community or national level and it should be possible to place pre-packed goods on the market in any nominal quantity. |

Nominal quantities should generally not be subject to regulation at Community or national level and it should be possible to place pre-packed goods on the market in any nominal quantity.

| (9) | However, in certain sectors,
  free sizes previously gave rise to serious pack size proliferation and market complications. In those sectors
  such deregulation could result in disproportionately heavy extra costs, especially for small and medium sized enterprises
  , as well as consumer confusion. Furthermore, benefits from the use of environmentally-friendly lightweight glass could be jeopardised by deregulation
  . For those sectors, therefore, existing Community legislation should be adapted in the light of experience, in particular to ensure that Community nominal quantities are fixed
  for the most commonly traded sizes

| (11) | In order to promote transparency, all nominal quantities for pre-packed products should be set in a single legislative text, and Directives 75/106/EEC and 80/232/EEC should be repealed.
  The Commission should examine what initiatives could be taken or promoted to make weight and volume indications on consumer product labelling more readable. This, together with maintaining mandatory ranges for certain basic products, could be very helpful for certain categories of vulnerable consumers, such as the disabled and the elderly. |

Directive 76/211/EEC should therefore be amended to include in its scope the products currently covered by Directive 75/106/EEC. |
