3.   Approval of Minutes of previous sitting

The Minutes of the previous sitting were approved.

4.   Corrigendum to the Minutes of 04.07.2005

In paragraph 3 of Item 6, ‘Membership of Parliament’, ‘Article 7(1)’ should read ‘Article 7(2)’.

5.   Statement by the President

The President made a statement in which he mentioned the terrorist attacks, accidents and natural disasters that had caused such terrible suffering in various parts of the world during the summer, including Iraq, Latin America, Europe and the United States. He stated that in each case he had, on behalf of Parliament, sent messages of solidarity to the authorities of the countries affected. He added that that European Union had demonstrated its ability to take action in each case and pointed out that Parliament would soon have the opportunity to contribute to legislation to step up air safety.

Parliament observed a minute's silence in memory of the victims.

6.   Announcement by the President (Members' Statute)

The President announced that, at its meeting of 18 July 2005, the Council had adopted the text on the Statute for Members of the European Parliament that Parliament had forwarded, and that the text could therefore be considered adopted. The President would soon sign the Statute, which would then be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

7.   Membership of Parliament

The Polish authorities had given notice of the appointment of Andrzej Tomasz Zapałowski to replace Filip Adwent as Member of Parliament with effect from 12.07.2005.

The President drew attention to the provisions of Rule 3(5).

8.   Verification of credentials

On a proposal from the JURI Committee, Parliament validated the mandates of Giovanni Rivera and Jean-Pierre Audy.

9.   Request for the waiver of parliamentary immunity

At its meeting of 13 July 2005, the Committee on Legal Affairs had considered a request for the waiver of Marco Pannella's parliamentary immunity in the context of legal proceedings pending before a court in Rome.

The Committee on Legal Affairs noted that Parliament, acting on a request from the Member concerned, had already taken a decision to uphold Mr Pannella's immunity and privileges on 10 February 2004. That decision had been sent to Italy's Permanent Representative, along with a request that the court in Rome be informed of the decision.

On a proposal from Klaus-Heiner Lehne, the rapporteur, the Committee on Legal Affairs had decided unanimously that the request for waiver of immunity was redundant as Parliament had already taken a decision on the matter, and had asked the President to inform the House and the Italian authorities accordingly.

10.   Membership of committees and delegations

(12)

In order to ensure the continuation of the programmes, it is necessary to secure the financing of the deployment and commercial operating phases.

| (13) | In view of the Council's decision to limit to 1/3 the public contribution to the deployment phase and in light of the contributions already provided for in the current financial perspective, a Community contribution of EUR [500] million should be set aside for the deployment phase in the next financial perspective. |

In view of the Council's decision to limit to 1/3 the public contribution to the deployment phase and in light of the contributions already provided for in the current financial perspective, a Community contribution of EUR [500] million should be set aside for the deployment phase in the next financial perspective.

| (14) | Given the special nature of the market for satellite radionavigation services and the marketing of these services as well as the guaranteed provision of these services in the interest of the public sector, it will be necessary to provide some exceptional public financing during the first years of the commercial operating phase. Moreover, in its conclusions of 25-26 March 2002, and at its meeting of 8-9 March 2004, the Council specifically approved the use of Community funds to finance the commercial operating phase. The amount of Community funding required is expected to be in the region of EUR [500] million. |

The amount of Community funding required is expected to be in the region of EUR [500] million.

| (15) | It is therefore necessary to allocate a sum of EUR1 000 million from the Community budget to finance the deployment and the commercial operating phases of the
  programmes
  for the period 2007 to 2013,
  with its own budget line in the Community budget, thereby enabling the Budgetary Authority to link the funding to the meeting of deadlines for the various programme phases. |

| (3) | Decision No 1600/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 July 2002 laying down the Sixth Community Environment Action Programme (7) sets as the objective for waste that is still generated that the level of its hazardousness should be reduced and that it should present as little risk as possible, that preference should be given to recovery and especially to recycling, that the quantity of waste for disposal should be minimised and should be safely disposed of, and that waste intended for disposal should be treated as closely as possible to the place of its generation to the extent that this does not lead to a decrease in the efficiency of waste treatment operations. Decision No 1600/2002/EC also prescribes as a priority action, with reference to accidents and disasters, the development of measures to help prevent major accident hazards, with special regard to those arising from mining, and the development of measures on mining waste. Decision No 1600/2002/EC also sets as a priority action the promotion of sustainable management of extractive industries with a view to reducing their environmental impact. |

| (8) | Non-discrimination is a fundamental principle of the European Union.
  Article 13 of the Treaty provides for action to combat discrimination based on sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation. Non-discrimination is also enshrined in
  Article 21 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. The specific features of the diverse forms of discrimination should be accommodated

Non-discrimination is a fundamental principle of the European Union.
  Article 13 of the Treaty provides for action to combat discrimination based on sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation. Non-discrimination is also enshrined in
  Article 21 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. The specific features of the diverse forms of discrimination should be accommodated
  , and appropriate action developed in parallel to prevent and combat discrimination on one or more grounds

ANNEX

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 7 September 2005

on the mobilisation of the flexibility instrument in favour of the rehabilitation and reconstruction assistance to Tsunami affected countries according to point 24 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure (1), and in particular point 24 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:

The Budget Authority has agreed to support the rehabilitation and reconstruction needs in the earthquake/Tsunami affected countries (mainly Indonesia, Sri Lanka and the Maldives,) for a total amount of EUR 350 million, of which EUR 170 million in 2005, part of the required response will be delivered by redefining indicative and not yet committed programmes for the region in agreement with the governments concerned (EUR 60 million), by recourse to the Rapid Reaction Mechanism (EUR 12 million) and by the mobilisation of the emergency reserve (EUR 70 million). Since the ceiling for Heading 4: ‘External actions’ is already exceeded by EUR 100 million in 2005, and all possibilities for re-allocating appropriations under this heading have been examined, EUR 15 million will be financed by an additional deployment of the flexibility instrument.

HAVE DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

For the amending budget No 4/2005 to the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2005, the flexibility instrument shall be used to provide the sum of EUR 15 000 000 in commitment appropriations.

This amount shall be used for the financing of the aid for rehabilitation and reconstruction of the earthquake/Tsunami affected countries in Asia, covered by Heading 4 ‘External actions’ of the financial perspective, under the article 19 10 04 ‘Rehabilitation and reconstruction operations in developing countries in Asia’ of the 2005 budget.

Article 2

This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

ANNEX I

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 7 September 2005

on the revision of the financial perspective 2000-2006

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure (1), and in particular to points 19, 20 and 21 thereof,

Having regard to Decision 2003/430/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 May 2003 on the revision of the financial perspective (2),

Having regard to the proposals from the Commission,

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in the fifth subparagraph of Article 272(9) of the Treaty (3),

Whereas:

The reform of the common agricultural policy adopted by the Council in September 2003 (4) provides for a reduction in direct payments (‘modulation’) to finance rural development policy to achieve a better balance between policy tools designed to promote sustainable agriculture and those designed to promote rural development and to finance additional rural development measures. The financial perspective set out in Annex I to the Interinstitutional Agreement on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure as revised by Decision 2003/430/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, hereinafter referred to as the ‘financial perspective’, should therefore be modified to take into account the effect of ‘modulation’ for the year 2006. As a consequence, commitment appropriations from subheading 1a ‘Common Agricultural Policy’ can be used to finance additional measures under subheading 1b ‘Rural development’, with no change in the ceiling of heading 1 ‘Agriculture’.

HAVE DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

The financial perspective is revised as follows:

The annual ceilings for appropriations for commitments in heading 1 of Table 1a, Table 1b, Table 2a and Table 2b shall be amended as follows:

| (a) | the figure for the subheading 1a ‘Common Agricultural Policy’ shall be reduced in 2006 by the amount corresponding to the modulation;






  Reduced amounts in Common Agricultural Policy | 2006 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| EUR million at 1999 prices | - 570 |
| EUR million at 2006 prices | - 655 |

| --- | --- | --- |
| EUR million at 1999 prices | + 570 |
| EUR million at 2006 prices | + 655 |

(b)

Article 2

1.   The financial perspective for the European Union, in 1999 prices, is set out in Tables 1a and 1b in the Annex.

2.   The corresponding financial perspective resulting from the technical adjustment for 2005, in line with movements in Gross National Income (GNI) and prices, is set out in Tables 2a and 2b in the Annex.

Position of the European Parliament adopted at second reading on 7 September 2005 with a view to the adoption of Directive 2005/.../EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks arising from physical agents (optical radiation) (19th individual Directive within the meaning of Article 16 (1) of Directive 89/391/EEC)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 137(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1), presented after consultation with the Advisory Committee on Safety and Health at Work,

Having regard to the Opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),

After consulting the Committee of the Regions,

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

Whereas:

| (1) | Under the Treaty the Council may, by means of directives, adopt minimum requirements for encouraging improvements, especially in the working environment, to guarantee a better level of protection of the health and safety of workers. Such directives are to avoid imposing administrative, financial and legal constraints in a way which would hold back the creation and development of small and mediumsized undertakings. |

(1)

Under the Treaty the Council may, by means of directives, adopt minimum requirements for encouraging improvements, especially in the working environment, to guarantee a better level of protection of the health and safety of workers. Such directives are to avoid imposing administrative, financial and legal constraints in a way which would hold back the creation and development of small and mediumsized undertakings.

| (2) | The communication from the Commission concerning its action programme relating to the implementation of the Community Charter of the Fundamental Social Rights of Workers provides for the introduction of minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks caused by physical agents. In September 1990 the European Parliament adopted a Resolution concerning this action programme (4), inviting the Commission in particular to draw up a specific directive on the risks caused by noise, vibration and any other physical agents at the workplace. |

SECTION III

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Article 8

Health surveillance

1.   
  With the objectives of prevention and early diagnosis of any adverse health effects, as well as the prevention of any long-term health risks and any risk of chronic diseases, resulting from exposure to optical radiation,
  Member States shall adopt provisions to ensure appropriate health surveillance of workers
  pursuant to Article 14 of Directive 89/391/EEC.

2.
     
  Member States shall ensure that health surveillance is carried out by a doctor, an occupational health professional or a medical authority responsible for health surveillance in accordance with national law and practice.

3.   Member States shall establish arrangements to ensure that, for each worker who undergoes health surveillance in accordance with paragraph 1, individual health records are made and kept up to date. Health records shall contain a summary of the results of the health surveillance carried out. They shall be kept in a suitable form so as to permit consultation at a later date, taking into account any confidentiality. Copies of the appropriate records shall be supplied to the competent authority on request, taking into account any confidentiality.
  The employer shall take appropriate measures to ensure that the doctor, the occupational health professional or the medical authority responsible for the health surveillance, as determined by Member States as appropriate, has access to the results of the risk assessment referred to in Article 4 where such results may be relevant to the health surveillance.
  Individual workers shall, at their request, have access to their own personal health records.

4.   
  In any event, where exposure above the limit values is detected, a medical examination shall be made available to the worker(s) concerned in accordance with national law and practice. This medical examination shall also be carried out where
  , as a result of health surveillance, a worker is found to have an identifiable disease or adverse health effect which is considered by a doctor or occupational health professional to be the result of exposure to
  artificial
  optical radiation at work

(1)  The range of 300 to 700 nm covers parts of UVB, all UVA and most of visible radiation; however, the associated hazard is commonly referred to as ‘blue light’ hazard. Blue light strictly speaking covers only the range of approximately 400 to 490 nm.

(2)  For steady fixation of very small sources with an angular subtense < 11 mrad, LB can be converted to EB. This normally applies only for ophthalmic instruments or a stabilized eye during anaesthesia. The maximum ‘stare time’ is found by: tmax = 100 / EB with EB expressed in W m-2. Due to eye movements during normal visual tasks this does not exceed 100s.

ANNEX II

LASER OPTICAL RADIATION

The biophysically relevant exposure values to optical radiation can be determined with the formulae below. The formulae to be used depend on the wavelength and duration of radiation emitted by the source and the results should be compared with the corresponding exposure limit values indicated in the Tables 2.2-2.4. More than one exposure value and corresponding exposure limit can be relevant for a given source of laser optical radiation.

Coefficients used as calculation tools within the Tables 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 are listed in Table 2.5 and corrections for repetitive exposure are listed in Table 2.6.

Table 2.6: Correction for repetitive exposure

Each of the following three general rules should be applied to all repetitive exposures as occur from repetitively pulsed or scanning laser systems:

| 1. | The exposure from any single pulse in a train of pulses shall not exceed the exposure limit value for a single pulse of that pulse duration. |
| --- | --- |

1.

The exposure from any single pulse in a train of pulses shall not exceed the exposure limit value for a single pulse of that pulse duration.

| 2. | The exposure from any group of pulses (or sub-group of pulses in a train) delivered in time t shall not exceed the exposure limit value for time t. |
| --- | --- |

2.

The exposure from any group of pulses (or sub-group of pulses in a train) delivered in time t shall not exceed the exposure limit value for time t.

| 3. | The exposure from any single pulse within a group of pulses shall not exceed the single-pulse exposure limit value multiplied by a cumulative-thermal correction factor Cp = N-0,25, where N is the number of pulses. This rule applies only to exposure limits to protect against thermal injury, where all pulses delivered in less than Tmin are treated as a single pulse. |

(2)  Due to lack of data at these pulse lengths, ICNIRP recommends the use of the 1 ns irradiance limits.

(3)  The table states values for single laser pulses. In case of multiple laser pulses, then the laser pulse durations of pulses falling within an interval Tmin (listed in Table 2.6) must be added up and the resulting time value must be filled in for t in the formula: 5,6 · 103 t 0,25.

(4)  When 1 400≤λ<105 nm: aperture diameter = 1 mm for t ≤ 0,3 s and 1,5 t0,375 mm for 0,3 s < t < 10 s; when 105≤ λ <106 nm: aperture diameter = 11 mm.

(5)  If the wavelength of the laser is covered by two limits, then the more restrictive applies.

(6)  For small sources subtending an angle of 1,5 mrad or less, the visible dual limits E from 400 nm to 600 nm reduce to the thermal limits for 10s ≤ t < T1 and to photochemical limits for longer times. For T1 and T2 see Table 2.5. The photochemical retinal hazard limit may also be expressed as a time integrated radiance G = 106 CB [J m-2 sr-1] for t > 10s up to t = 10 000 s and L = 100 CB [W m-2 sr-1] for t > 10 000 s. For the measurement of G and L γm must be used as averaging field of view. The official border between visible and infrared is 780 nm as defined by the CIE. The column with wavelength band names is only meant to provide better overview for the user. (The notation G is used by CEN; the notation Lt is used by CIE; the notation LP is used by IEC and CENELEC).

(7)  For wavelength 1 400-105 nm: aperture diameter = 3,5 mm; for wavelength 105-106 nm: aperture diameter = 11 mm.

(8)  For measurement of the exposure value the consideration of γ is defined as follows: If α (angular subtense of a source) > γ (limiting cone angle, indicated in brackets in the corresponding column) then the measurement field of view γm should be the given value of γ. (If a larger measurement field of view is used, then the hazard would be overestimated).

If α < γ then the measurement field of view γm must be large enough to fully enclose the source but is otherwise not limited and may be larger than γ.

(9)  If the wavelength or another condition of the laser is covered by two limits, then the more restrictive applies.

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 7 September 2005 with a view to the adoption of Regulation (EC) No .../2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council on medicinal products for paediatric use and amending Regulation (EEC) No 1768/92, Directive 2001/83/EC and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004

(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),

Having regard to the Opinion of the Committee of the Regions (1),

In accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),

Whereas:

| (1) | Before a medicinal product for human use is placed on the market of one or more Member States, it generally has to have undergone extensive studies, including pre-clinical tests and clinical trials, to ensure that it is safe, of high quality and effective for use in the target population. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Before a medicinal product for human use is placed on the market of one or more Member States, it generally has to have undergone extensive studies, including pre-clinical tests and clinical trials, to ensure that it is safe, of high quality and effective for use in the target population.

| (2) | Such studies may not have been done for use in children and many of the medicines currently used to treat children have not been studied or authorised for such use. Market forces alone have proven insufficient to stimulate adequate research, development and authorisation of medicines for children. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Such studies may not have been done for use in children and many of the medicines currently used to treat children have not been studied or authorised for such use. Market forces alone have proven insufficient to stimulate adequate research, development and authorisation of medicines for children.

| (3) | Problems resulting from the absence of suitably adapted medicines for children include inadequate dosing information leading to increased risks of adverse reactions including death, ineffective treatment through under-dosing, non-availability to children of therapeutic advances,
  problems resulting from the pharmaceutical form and the route of administration
  as well as the use of extemporaneous formulations to treat children which may be of poor quality. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

Problems resulting from the absence of suitably adapted medicines for children include inadequate dosing information leading to increased risks of adverse reactions including death, ineffective treatment through under-dosing, non-availability to children of therapeutic advances,
  problems resulting from the pharmaceutical form and the route of administration
  as well as the use of extemporaneous formulations to treat children which may be of poor quality.

| (4) | The aim of this Regulation is to
  facilitate
  the development
  and accessibility
  of medicines for use in children, to ensure that medicines used to treat children are
  where necessary
  subject to high quality, ethical research and are appropriately authorised for use in children, and to improve the information available on the use of medicines in the various paediatric populations. These objectives should be achieved without subjecting children to unnecessary clinical trials and without delaying the authorisation of medicinal products for other
  age
  populations. |

These objectives should be achieved without subjecting children to unnecessary clinical trials and without delaying the authorisation of medicinal products for other
  age
  populations.

| (5) | A specific inventory of paediatric medicinal product needs should be adopted by the Paediatric Committee set up under this Regulation after consultation with the Commission, the Member States and interested parties, and regularly updated. The inventory should identify the existing medicines used by children and highlight the therapeutic needs of children and the priorities for research and development. In this way, companies should be able to identify easily opportunities for business development; the Paediatric Committee should be able to better judge the need for medicines and studies when assessing draft paediatric investigation plans, waivers and deferrals; and healthcare professionals and patients should have a reliable information source available to support their decisions as to which medicines to choose. |

| (6) | While taking into account the fact that any regulations on medicinal products must be fundamentally aimed at safeguarding public health, this aim must be achieved by means that do not impede the free movement of
  safe
  medicinal products within the Community. The differences between the national legislative, regulatory and administrative provisions on medicinal products tend to hinder intra-Community trade and therefore directly affect the operation of the internal market. Any action to promote the development and authorisation of medicinal products for paediatric use is therefore justified with a view to preventing or eliminating these obstacles. Article 95 of the Treaty is therefore the proper legal basis. |

Article 95 of the Treaty is therefore the proper legal basis.

| (7) | The establishment of a system of both obligations and rewards and incentives has proved necessary to achieve these objectives. The precise nature of the obligations and rewards and incentives should take account of the status of the particular medicinal product concerned. This Regulation should apply to all the medicines required by children and therefore its scope should cover products in development and yet to be authorised, authorised products still covered by intellectual property rights and authorised products no longer covered by intellectual property rights. |

| (8) | Any concerns about conducting trials in the paediatric population should be balanced by the ethical concerns about giving medicines to a population in which they have not been
  appropriately
  tested. The public health threat from the use of untested medicines in children can be safely addressed through the study of medicines for children, which should be carefully controlled and monitored through the specific requirements for the protection of children who take part in clinical trials in the Community laid down in Directive 2001/20/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 April 2001 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to the implementation of good clinical practice in the conduct of clinical trials on medicinal products for human use (3). |

| (9) | It is appropriate to create a scientific committee, the Paediatric Committee, within the European Medicines Agency set up under Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 (4)
  , hereinafter ‘the Agency’, with expertise and competence in the development and assessment of all aspects of medicinal products to treat paediatric populations.
  To this end the Committee must be independent of the pharmaceutical industry and be composed of members with recognised and documented international-level experience and knowledge of that industry.
  The Paediatric Committee should be primarily responsible for the assessment and agreement of
  scientific and ethical
  paediatric investigation plans and for the system of waivers and deferrals thereof, and it should also be central to various support measures contained in this Regulation. In all its work the Paediatric Committee should
  make sure that studies in children have significant potential therapeutic benefits for paediatric patients. The potential benefits must be weighed against the short and long term risks of participating in the clinical studies in order
  to avoid unnecessary studies
  . The Paediatric Committee
  should follow existing Community requirements, including Directive 2001/20/EC, as well as International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) guideline E11 on the development of medicines for children, and it should avoid any delay in the authorisation of medicines for other populations as a result of the requirements for studies in children. |

| (10) | Procedures should be established for the Agency to agree and modify a paediatric investigation plan, the document upon which the development and authorisation of medicines for children should be based. The paediatric investigation plan should include details of the timing and the measures proposed to demonstrate the quality, safety and efficacy of the medicinal product in the paediatric population. Because the paediatric population is in fact made up of a number of subpopulations, the paediatric investigation plan should specify which subpopulations need to be studied, by what means and by when. |

| (11) | The introduction of the paediatric investigation plan in the legal framework concerning medicinal products for human use aims at ensuring that development of medicines
  that are potentially to be used
  for children becomes an integral part of the development of medicinal products, integrated into the development programme for adults. Thus, paediatric investigation plans should be submitted early during product development, in time for studies to be conducted in children
  , wherever possible
  before marketing authorisation applications are submitted. |

  results of any studies in children carried out in accordance with an agreed paediatric investigation plan
  that are completed at the time of the filing of the
  marketing authorisation application or an application for a new indication, new pharmaceutical form or new route of administration. The paediatric investigation plan should be the basis upon which compliance with that requirement is judged. However, that requirement should not apply to generics or similar biological medicinal products and medicinal products authorised through the well-established medicinal use procedure, or to homeopathic medicinal products and traditional herbal medicinal products authorised through the simplified registration procedures of Directive 2001/83/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community code relating to medicinal products for human use (5). |

| (13) | In view of the fact that 50% of medicinal products for paediatric use have not been tested, provision should be made for funding for research on medicines for paediatric use which are not patentprotected or do not have supplementary protection certification to be financed under Community research programmes. It is necessary to establish a Community programme for research into medicinal products for children (Medicines Investigation for the Children of Europe

| (14) | In order to ensure that research in children is only conducted to meet their therapeutic needs, there is a need to establish procedures for the Agency to waive the requirement to present the results of studies in children in the case of specific products or classes or part of classes of medicinal products, to be then published by the Agency. As knowledge on science and medicine evolves over time, provision should be made for the lists of waivers to be amended. However, if a waiver is revoked, the requirement should not apply for a given period in order to allow time for at least a paediatric investigation plan to be agreed and studies in children to be initiated prior to marketing authorisation application. |

| (16) | Free scientific advice should be provided by the Agency as an incentive to sponsors developing medicines for children. To ensure scientific consistency, the Agency should manage the interface between the Paediatric Committee and the Scientific Advice Working Group of the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, as well as the interaction between the Paediatric Committee and the other Community committees and working groups concerned with medicinal products. |

| (17) | The existing procedures for the marketing authorisation of medicinal products for human use should not be changed. However, it follows from the requirement for the results of studies in children to be presented in accordance with an agreed paediatric investigation plan that competent authorities should check compliance with the agreed paediatric investigation plan and any waivers and deferrals at the existing validation step for marketing authorisation applications. The assessment of safety, quality and efficacy of medicines for children and the granting of marketing authorisations should remain the remit of the competent authorities. Provision should be made
  for the
  Paediatric Committee
  to be asked
  for an opinion on compliance and for an opinion on the safety, quality and efficacy of a medicine in children. |

To provide healthcare professionals and patients with information on the safe and effective use of medicines in children, and in the interests of transparency, information regarding the results of studies in children, as well as on the status of the paediatric investigation plans, waivers and deferrals, should be included in product information. When all the measures in the paediatric investigation plan have been complied with, that fact should be recorded in the marketing authorisation, and should then be the basis upon which companies can obtain the rewards for compliance.

| (19) | To distinguish medicines authorised for use in children following completion of an agreed paediatric investigation plan and enable their prescription, provision should be made for a specially designed European logo to be displayed below the name of medicinal products granted an indication for use in children following an agreed paediatric investigation plan. |

| (20) | In order to establish incentives for authorised products no longer covered by intellectual property rights, it is necessary to establish a new type of marketing authorisation, the Paediatric Use Marketing Authorisation. A Paediatric Use Marketing Authorisation should be granted through existing marketing authorisation procedures but should apply specifically for medicinal products developed exclusively for use in children. It should be possible for the name of the medicinal product granted a Paediatric Use Marketing Authorisation to utilise the existing brand name of the corresponding product authorised for adults, in order to capitalise on existing brand recognition while benefiting from the data exclusivity associated with a new marketing authorisation. |

To achieve this, the procedure set out in Articles 32 to 34 of Directive 2001/83/EC may be used. This will allow the adoption of a Community harmonised Decision on use of the medicinal product in children and its introduction in all national product information.
  In the meantime, it would be desirable for a European paediatric form to be drawn up to serve as a reference for the collection of all the data available in the various Member States on a pharmaceutical product desired to be marketed in the Union but at that moment placed on the market only at national level. |

The three-month period available to Parliament to adopt its position would therefore begin the following day, 09.09.2005.

16.   Request for the defence of parliamentary immunity

Jean-Claude Marchiani, a former Member of the European Parliament, had written to the Presidency to request once more that his immunity and privileges be upheld in the context of legal proceedings taking place at the Tribunal de Grande Instance in Paris. This was despite the fact that Parliament had already decided on 05.07.2005 that Mr Marchiani's immunity should be upheld.

Pursuant to Rule 6(3), the request had been referred to the committee responsible, the JURI Committee.
