ANNEX

STATEMENT BY THE COUNCIL AND THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT

Violence and the threat of violence constitute a breach of the right to life, safety, freedom, dignity and physical and emotional integrity, and are a serious threat to the physical and mental health of the victims of such violence. The effects of such violence, being so widespread throughout the Community, constitute a genuine fundamental rights violation and health scourge and an obstacle to the enjoyment by all people of safe, free and just citizenship. The aim of the Daphne III programme is to prevent and combat violence against children, young people and women and to protect victims and groups at risk. With a view to furthering these aims, the European Parliament and the Council invite the European Commission to consider the possibility of an initiative for a European Year to combat violence against children, young people and women.

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 22 May 2007 with a view to the adoption of Directive 2007/.../EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on environmental quality standards in the field of water policy and amending Directive 2000/60/EC

(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 175 (1) 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) | Chemical pollution of surface water presents a threat to the aquatic environment with effects such as acute and chronic toxicity to aquatic organisms, accumulation in the ecosystem and losses of habitats and biodiversity, as well as threats to human health.
  As a matter of priority, causes of pollution should be identified and emissions should be dealt with at source, in the most economically and environmentally effective manner. |

| (6) | Directive 2000/60/EC lays down a strategy against pollution of water and Article 16 of that Directive requires further specific measures for pollution control and environmental quality standards (EQS). |
| --- | --- |

(6)

Directive 2000/60/EC lays down a strategy against pollution of water and Article 16 of that Directive requires further specific measures for pollution control and environmental quality standards (EQS).

| (7) | There have been numerous Community acts adopted since 2000 which constitute pollution control measures in accordance with Article 16 of Directive 2000/60/EC for individual priority substances. Moreover, many environmental protection measures fall under the scope of other existing Community legislation. Therefore
  , in the short term,
  priority should be given to implementation and revision of existing instruments rather than establishing new controls which may duplicate existing ones.
  However, following the transmission of the river basin management plans produced by the Member States pursuant to Article 13 of Directive 2000/60/EC, including the programme of measures established pursuant to Article 11 of that Directive, the Commission should assess whether the implementation and revision of existing instruments fully achieved the objectives of Directive 2000/60/EC, or whether specific action is required pursuant to that Directive. If compliance with EQS can be achieved only by means of restrictions on use or the banning of individual substances, such measures should be implemented by means of existing or new Community legal acts, in particular in the context of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency (6). |

| (11) | As the majority of other relevant Community acts have not yet been fully adopted and implemented, it is currently difficult to determine whether the implementation of those policies will enable the objectives of Directive 2000/60/EC to be achieved, or whether further Community action will still be needed.

Among those priority substances, certain substances have been identified as priority hazardous substances which are subject to phase-out or cessation of emissions, discharges and losses.
  For substances occurring naturally or through natural processes, such as cadmium, mercury and poly-aromatic hydrocarbons, however, complete phase-out of emissions, discharges and losses from all potential sources is impossible.
  Some substances were under review and should be classified.
  Further substances should be added to the list of priority substances to achieve the objectives of Directive 2000/60/EC. |

| (14) | From the point of view of Community interest and for a more effective regulation of the surface water protection, it is appropriate that EQS are set up for pollutants classified as priority substances at Community level and to leave it to the Member States to lay
  down rules
  for remaining pollutants at national level subject to the application of relevant Community rules. Nonetheless, eight pollutants which fall under the scope of Council Directive 86/280/EEC of 12 June 1986 on limit values and quality objectives for discharges of certain dangerous substances included in List I of the Annex to Directive 76/464/EEC (9) and form part of the group of substances for which good chemical status should be achieved by 2015 were not included in the list of priority substances. However, the common standards established for those pollutants proved to be useful and it is appropriate to maintain the regulation of their standards at Community level. |

| (17) | The aquatic environment can suffer from chemical pollution both in the short term and in the long term, and therefore both acute and chronic effects data should be used as the basis for establishing the EQS. In order to ensure that the aquatic environment and human health are adequately protected, annual average quality standards should be established at a level providing protection against longterm exposure, and maximum allowable concentrations should be established to protect against short term exposure.
  The application of maximum allowable concentrations, in accordance with the combined approach laid down in Article 10 of Directive 2000/60/EC, the treatment of outliers in particular, and the determination of emission controls should be harmonised. |

| (18) | In the absence of extensive and reliable information on concentrations of priority substances in biota and sediments at Community level and in view of the fact that information on surface water seems to provide a sufficient basis to ensure comprehensive protection and effective pollution control, establishment of EQS values should, at this stage, be limited to surface water only. However, as regards hexachlorobenzene, hexachlorobutadiene and mercury, it is not possible to ensure protection against indirect effects and secondary poisoning by mere EQS for surface water at Community level. Therefore in those cases, EQS for biota should be set up. In order to allow Member States flexibility depending on their monitoring strategy they should be able either to monitor those EQS and check compliance with them in biota, or convert them into EQS for surface water. Furthermore, it is for Member States to set up EQS for sediment or biota where it is necessary and appropriate to complement the EQS set up at Community level.
  Moreover, sediment
  and biota remain important matrices for
  the
  monitoring
  of substances with significant accumulation potential and against whose indirect effect EQS for surface water currently offer no protection. Such monitoring should be carried out in order to advance the future technical and scientific work on EQS in sediment and biota for the monitored substances, where this is proven necessary. |

HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

Subject matter

This Directive lays down
  measures to limit water pollution, as well as
  environmental quality standards for priority
  substances in order to:

| (a) | reduce discharges, emission and losses of priority substances by 2015; and |
| --- | --- |

(a)

reduce discharges, emission and losses of priority substances by 2015; and

| (b) | cease discharges, emission and losses of priority hazardous substances, in accordance with Articles 1, 4 and 16 of Directive 2000/60/EC, to achieve a good chemical status for all surface waters. The aim is also to prevent any further deterioration and by 2020 to achieve concentrations close to the natural background levels for all naturally occurring substances and concentrations close to zero for all anthropogenic synthetic substances in accordance with international agreements on the protection of the sea. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

cease discharges, emission and losses of priority hazardous substances, in accordance with Articles 1, 4 and 16 of Directive 2000/60/EC, to achieve a good chemical status for all surface waters. The aim is also to prevent any further deterioration and by 2020 to achieve concentrations close to the natural background levels for all naturally occurring substances and concentrations close to zero for all anthropogenic synthetic substances in accordance with international agreements on the protection of the sea.

Objectives set out in this Directive are to be treated as objectives under Article 4 of Directive 2000/60/EC.

The Commission shall, in accordance with the regulatory procedure referred to in Article 21(2) of Directive 2000/60/EC, present to the European Parliament and the Council, by 2020, a report on the success of implementation of this Directive.

Article 2

Environmental quality standards

1.   
  In order to achieve a good chemical status for bodies of surface water pursuant to Article 4(1)(a) of Directive 2000/60/EC,
  Member States shall ensure that the composition of
  those bodies of
  surface
  water, sediment and biota
  complies with environmental quality standards for priority
  substances as
  laid down in Part A of Annex I.

Member States shall at all times take the measures required to ensure that plants which discharge into bodies of water waste water containing priority substances employ the best available production and waste water treatment techniques. These measures shall be based on the results of the exchange of information provided for in Article 16(2) of Directive 96/61/EC.

Member States shall ensure compliance with the environmental quality standards in accordance with the requirements laid down in Part B of Annex I.

Member States must improve the knowledge and data available on sources of priority substances and ways in which pollution occurs in order to identify targeted and effective control options.

2.
     
  Where a watercourse passes through more than one Member State, coordination of the monitoring programmes and of the national inventories compiled shall take place in order to avoid penalising Member States located downstream.

3.   Member States
  shall, in
  accordance with Article 8 of Directive 2000/60/EC,
  monitor
  concentrations of substances listed in Part A of Annex I in water,
  sediment and biota.

4.   Member States shall ensure that the following concentrations of hexachlorobenzene, hexachlorobutadiene and mercury are not exceeded in prey tissue (wet weight) of fish, molluscs, crustaceans and other biota:

| (a) | 10 μg/kg for hexachlorobenzene, |
| --- | --- |

(a)

10 μg/kg for hexachlorobenzene,

| (b) | 55 μg/kg for hexachlorobutadiene, |
| --- | --- |

(b)

55 μg/kg for hexachlorobutadiene,

| (c) | 20 μg/kg for methyl-mercury. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

20 μg/kg for methyl-mercury.

For the purposes of monitoring of the compliance with the environmental quality standards of substances listed in the first subparagraph, the Member States shall either introduce a more stringent standard for water replacing the one listed in Part A of Annex I, or set up an additional standard for biota.

Monitoring of other substances in Annex I may also be performed in sediment or biota instead of in water if Member States consider this to be more adequate and cost-effective. If significant concentrations of substances are detected and Member States consider that there is a risk that the environmental quality standards for water will not be met, monitoring in water shall be performed to ensure compliance with the environmental quality standards for water.

5.
     
  The Commission shall, no later than 12 months after the submission of the inventories by the Member States, make a proposal concerning quality standards applicable to the concentrations of the priority substances in sediment and biota.

6.
     
  Member States shall comply with Directive 98/83/EC and shall manage the surface water bodies used for the abstraction of drinking water in accordance with Article 7 of Directive 2000/60/EC. This Directive shall therefore be implemented without prejudice to provisions which may require more stringent standards.

7.
     
  Cases in which compliance with environmental quality standards is not technically feasible, or would lead to disproportionate social or economic costs, shall be dealt with under Article 4(4), (5) and (6) of Directive 2000/60/EC, in order to determine the most cost-effective and environmentally acceptable approach to complying with the objective as set out in Article 4(1)(a) of Directive 2000/60/EC.

8.   The Commission shall
  , systematically using the database established under Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 to screen for substances that are harmful to water organisms, accumulate or are persistent,
  examine technical and scientific progress, including the conclusions of risk assessments as referred to in points (a) and (b) of Article 16 (2) of Directive 2000/60/EC
  and propose at least every four years
  the revision of the environmental quality standards laid down in Part A of Annex I to this Directive.

The Commission shall examine the most recent scientific information and technical progress regarding substances accumulating in sediment and biota and shall prepare environmental quality standards concerning them.

9.   
  In order to achieve a cohesive and harmonised calculation method,
  the Commission
  shall,
  in accordance with the regulatory procedure referred to in Article 21(2) of Directive 2000/60/EC,
  not later than ... (21),
  set
  up compulsory methodologies at least for the matters
  referred to in the second paragraph of point 3 of Part B of Annex I to this Directive.

10.
     
  If bans on substances are needed in order to secure compliance with environmental quality standards, the Commission shall submit suitable proposals to amend existing legal acts or establish new legal acts at Community level.

11.
     
  If, with a view to enforcing the polluter-pays principle and the precautionary principle and to securing uniform implementation in the Member States, emission limit values valid throughout the Community are needed for specific plants, substances or point sources, or if such emission limit values can be effective in securing compliance with environmental quality standards, the Commission shall put forward proposals in accordance with Article 18 of Directive 96/61/EC.

Article 3

To achieve the objective set out in Article 2, Member States may impose more stringent restrictions on the use or discharge of substances than those set out in Directive 91/414/EEC and in Regulation (EC) No .../... of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (22) which replaces it, or in other Community legislation.

Article 4

Transitional area of exceedance

1.   
  If there is no technically feasible means of adequately purifying waste water from one or more point sources,
  Member States shall designate transitional areas of exceedance, where the concentrations of one or more pollutants
  at low flow conditions
  exceed the relevant environmental quality standards in so far as they do not affect the compliance of the rest of the surface water body with those standards.

Member States shall include an action plan to reduce the extent and duration of each transitional area of exceedance within the river basin management plans referred to in Article 13 of Directive 2000/60/EC in order to comply with the relevant environmental quality standards by 2018 at the latest.

2.   Member States shall delimit in each case the extent of the parts of the surface water bodies adjacent to the points of discharge to be classed as transitional areas of exceedance, taking into account the relevant provisions of Community law.

Member States shall include a description of each delimitation in their river basin management plans referred to in Article 13 of Directive 2000/60/EC.

3.
     
  In the case of cross-border watercourses the consent of the other affected Member States shall be required for determining the transitional area of exceedance.

4.   Member States shall carry out the review of the permits referred to in Directive 96/61/EC or of the prior regulations referred to in Article 11(3)(g) of Directive 2000/60/EC with a view to progressively reducing the extent of each transitional area of exceedance, as referred to in paragraph 1, identified in water bodies affected by discharges of priority substances.

5.   The Commission
  shall
  , in accordance with the regulatory procedure referred to in Article 21(2) of Directive 2000/60/EC, set up the method to be used by the Member States for the identification of the transitional area of exceedance.

Article 5

Emission control methods to be used by Member States

1.
     
  To achieve the objectives of Article 1, Member States shall establish integrated plans for emission control and phase-out measures for priority substances and priority hazardous substances in the framework of the programme of measures provided for in Article 11 of Directive 2000/60/EC. The plans shall contain at least:

| (a) | the results of the investigations according to Article 6 of this Directive; |

  The plans should be drafted according to transparent criteria and revised in the framework of the revision of the programmes of measures. Member States shall report to the Commission and the public every three years on the progress of the implementation and on how the measures have contributed to achieving the objectives of this Directive.

Article 6

Inventory of emissions, discharges and losses

1.   On the basis of the information collected in accordance with Articles 5 and 8 of Directive 2000/60/EC
  or other available data,
  and under Regulation (EC) No 166/2006, Member States shall establish an inventory,
  including maps where applicable,
  of emissions, discharges and losses
  and of their sources of
  priority substances
  (both point and diffuse sources of pollution)
  and pollutants listed
  in Annex II or
  in Part A of Annex I for each river basin or its part within their territory
  , including their concentrations in sediment and biota. Priority substances and pollutants released from sediments as the result of shipping, dredging or natural phenomena shall not be regarded as losses.

Member States shall include all emission control measures taken for priority substances listed in Part A of Annex I in the inventory.

2.
     
  Member States shall draw up specific monitoring programmes for sediments and biotas, identifying the species and tissues to be analysed and the form in which the results are to be expressed, in line with the organisms' seasonal variations.

3.   The reference period for the measurement of pollutant values to be entered in the inventories referred to in paragraph 1 shall be one year between 2007 and 2009.

However, for priority substances or pollutants covered by Directive 91/414/EEC, the entries may be calculated as the average of the years 2007, 2008 and 2009.

In preparing their inventories, Member States may use information on emissions, discharges and losses that has been collected since the entry into force of Directive 2000/60/EC provided that such information meets the same quality requirements as apply to the information referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article.

4.   Member States shall communicate the inventories established pursuant to paragraph 1 of this Article, including the respective reference periods, to the Commission together with the river basin management plans reported in accordance with Article 15(1) of Directive 2000/60/EC.

5.   Member States shall update their inventories as part of the reviews of the analyses specified in Article 5(2) of Directive 2000/60/EC.

The reference period for the establishment of values in the updated inventories shall be the year before that analysis is to be completed. For priority substances or pollutants covered by Directive 91/414/EEC, the entries may be calculated as the average of the three years before the completion of that analysis.

Member States shall publish the updated inventories in their updated river basin management plans as laid down in Article 13(7) of Directive 2000/60/EC.

6.
     
  As emissions, discharges and losses of priority substances must be progressively reduced or cease, it is necessary that Member States accompany their inventory with a suitable timetable for achieving those objectives.

7.   The Commission shall verify
  by 2015
  that emissions, discharges and losses as reflected in the inventory
  can be expected to
  comply, by 2025, with the reduction
  and
  cessation obligations laid down in Article 4(1)(a)(iv) of Directive 2000/60/EC.
  The Commission shall submit a report on this verification to the European Parliament and the Council. If the report shows that compliance is unlikely to be achieved, it shall propose the necessary Community measures pursuant to Article 251 of the Treaty by 2016
  .

When carrying out this verification the Commission shall take into consideration:

| — | technical feasibility and proportionality; |
| --- | --- |

—

technical feasibility and proportionality;

| — | the application of best available techniques; |
| --- | --- |

—

the application of best available techniques;

| — | the existence of natural background concentrations. |
| --- | --- |

—

the existence of natural background concentrations.

8.   The Commission
  shall
  , in accordance with the regulatory procedure referred to in Article 21(2) of Directive 2000/60/EC,
  lay down the technical specifications for the analyses as well as
  the method to be used by the Member States for establishment of the inventories.

Article 7

Measures to reduce pollution by priority substances

1.
     
  In order to achieve the objectives of reducing pollution by priority substances and priority hazardous substances established under Article 4(1)(a)(iv) of Directive 2000/60/EC, Member States shall ensure that the programme of measures established pursuant to Article 11 of that Directive includes prevention or control measures relating to point and diffuse sources of pollution, as well as the environmental quality standards laid down in that Directive.

2.
     
  On the basis of Articles 4 and 12 of Directive 2000/60/EC and in order to achieve the objectives set out therein, Member States shall determine whether there is a need to review the implementation of existing measures or to introduce new measures for the reduction and control of pollution by priority substances and priority hazardous substances. Where these measures are best taken at Community level, the Commission shall propose the appropriate measures at Community level.

3.
     
  In the course of preparing its report under Article 18(1) of Directive 2000/60/EC on the implementation of that Directive, the Commission shall carry out a formal assessment of the consistency and effectiveness of all Community legislative acts with a direct or indirect impact on good water quality. This assessment will enable Community measures to be proposed, adapted or implemented as necessary.

4.
     
  The Commission shall, according to Article 16(8) of Directive 2000/60/EC, propose emission control techniques based on the best available technologies and environmental practices, to be used by the Member States for all point sources.

Article 8

Inclusion of dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)

Pursuant to Article 16 of Directive 2000/60/EC and no later than 31 January 2008, the Commission shall submit a proposal for the revision of this Directive with a view to including dioxins and PCBs in the list of priority substances set out in Annex II and include corresponding environmental quality standards in Annex I.

Article 9

PART B: Compliance with Environmental Quality Standards (EQS)

1. Columns 4 and 5: For any given surface water body, compliance with EQS-AA requires that for each representative monitoring point within the water body, the arithmetic mean of the concentrations measured at different times during the year is below the standard.

2. Columns 6 and 7: For any given surface water body compliance with EQS-MAC means that the measured concentration at any representative monitoring point within the water body must not exceed the standard.

3. With the exception of cadmium, lead, mercury and nickel (hereinafter ‘metals’) the EQS set up in this Annex are expressed as total concentrations in the whole water sample. In the case of metals the EQS refers to the dissolved concentration, i.e. the dissolved phase of a water sample obtained by filtration through a 0,45 μm filter or any equivalent pre-
  treatment.

Natural
  background concentrations for metals
  shall be added to
  the EQS value.
  In addition
  , if hardness, pH or other water quality parameters affect the bioavailability of metals, Member States may take this into account when assessing the monitoring results against the EQS.
  The natural background concentrations for metals in inland surface waters and coastal waters shall be determined taking account in particular of the soil and of natural washing-out in river basins. The Member States shall report in their river basin management plans on the natural background concentrations of metals and on how the background concentrations of metals have been taken into account in assessing results against the EQS.

(1)  This parameter is the Environmental Quality Standard expressed as an annual average value (EQS-AA).

(2)  This parameter is the Environmental Quality Standard expressed as a maximum allowable concentration (EQS-MAC). Where the MAC-EQS are marked as ‘not applicable’, the AA-EQS values are also protective against short-term pollution peaks since they are significantly lower than the values derived on the basis of acute toxicity.

(3)  For the group of priority substances covered by brominated diphenylethers (No 5) listed in Decision No 2455/2001/EC, an EQS is established only for pentabromodiphenylether.

(4)  For Cadmium and its compounds (No 6) the EQS values vary dependent upon the hardness of the water as specified in five class categories (Class 1: <40 mg CaCO3/l, Class 2: 40 to <50 mg CaCO3/l, Class 3: 50 to <100 mg CaCO3/l, Class 4: 100 to <200 mg CaCO3/l and Class 5: ≥200 mg CaCO3/l).

(5)  For the group of priority substances of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) (No 28), each individual EQS shall be complied with, i.e. the EQS for Benzo(a)pyrene and the EQS for the sum of Benzo(b)fluoranthene and Benzo(k)fluoranthene and the EQS for the sum of Benzo(g, h, i)perylene and Indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene must be met.

(6)  DDT total comprises the sum of the isomers 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2 bis (p-chlorophenyl) ethane (CAS number 50-29-3); 1,1,1-trichloro-2 (o-chlorophenyl)-2-(p-chlorophenyl) ethane (CAS number 789-02-6); 1,1-dichloro-2,2 bis (p-chlorophenyl) ethylene (CAS number 72-55-9); and 1,1-dichloro-2,2 bis (p-chlorophenyl) ethane (CAS number 72-54-8).

ANNEX

EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT — COUNCIL — COMMISSION — JOINT DECLARATION ON PRACTICAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE CODECISION PROCEDURE (ARTICLE 251 OF THE EC TREATY)

GENERAL PRINCIPLES

1. The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission, hereinafter referred to collectively as ‘the institutions’, note that current practice involving talks between the Council Presidency, the Commission and the chairs of the relevant committees and/or rapporteurs of the European Parliament and between the cochairs of the Conciliation Committee has proved its worth.

2. The institutions confirm that this practice, which has developed at all stages of the codecision procedure, must continue to be encouraged. The institutions undertake to examine their working methods with a view to making even more effective use of the full scope of the codecision procedure as established by the EC Treaty.

3. This Joint Declaration clarifies these working methods, and the practical arrangements for pursuing them. It complements the Interinstitutional Agreement on Better Lawmaking (1) and notably its provisions relating to the co-decision procedure. The institutions undertake fully to respect such commitments in line with the principles of transparency, accountability and efficiency. In this respect, the institutions should pay particular attention to making progress on simplification proposals while respecting the acquis communautaire.

4. The institutions shall cooperate in good faith throughout the procedure with a view to reconciling their positions as far as possible and thereby clearing the way, where appropriate, for the adoption of the act concerned at an early stage of the procedure.

5. With that aim in view, they shall cooperate through appropriate interinstitutional contacts to monitor the progress of the work and analyse the degree of convergence at all stages of the codecision procedure.

6. The institutions, in accordance with their internal rules of procedure, undertake to exchange information regularly on the progress of codecision files. They shall ensure that their respective calendars of work are coordinated as far as possible in order to enable proceedings to be conducted in a coherent and convergent fashion. They will therefore seek to establish an indicative timetable for the various stages leading to the final adoption of different legislative proposals, while fully respecting the political nature of the decision making process.

7. Cooperation between the institutions in the context of codecision often takes the form of tripartite meetings (‘trilogues’). This trilogue system has demonstrated its vitality and flexibility in increasing significantly the possibilities for agreement at first and second reading stages, as well as contributing to the preparation of the work of the Conciliation Committee.

8. Such trilogues are usually conducted in an informal framework. They may be held at all stages of the procedure and at different levels of representation, depending on the nature of the expected discussion. Each institution, in accordance with its own rules of procedure, will designate its participants for each meeting, define its mandate for the negotiations and inform the other institutions of arrangements for the meetings in good time.

9. As far as possible, any draft compromise texts submitted for discussion at a forthcoming meeting shall be circulated in advance to all participants. In order to enhance transparency, trilogues taking place within the European Parliament and Council shall be announced, where practicable.

10. The Council Presidency will endeavour to attend the meetings of the parliamentary committees. It will carefully consider any request it receives to provide information related to the Council position, as appropriate.

FIRST READING

11. The institutions shall cooperate in good faith with a view to reconciling their positions as far as possible so that, wherever possible, acts can be adopted at first reading.

Agreement at the stage of first reading in the European Parliament

12. Appropriate contacts shall be established to facilitate the conduct of proceedings at first reading.

13. The Commission shall facilitate such contacts and shall exercise its right of initiative in a constructive manner with a view to reconciling the positions of the European Parliament and the Council, with due regard for the balance between the institutions and the role conferred on it by the Treaty.

14. Where an agreement is reached through informal negotiations in trilogues, the chair of Coreper shall forward, in a letter to the chair of the relevant parliamentary committee, details of the substance of the agreement, in the form of amendments to the Commission proposal. That letter shall indicate the Council's willingness to accept that outcome, subject to legal-linguistic verification, should it be confirmed by the vote in plenary. A copy of that letter shall be forwarded to the Commission.

15. In this context, where conclusion of a dossier at first reading is imminent, information on the intention to conclude an agreement should be made readily available as early as possible.

Agreement at the stage of Council common position

16. Where no agreement is reached at the European Parliament's first reading, contacts may be continued with a view to concluding an agreement at the common position stage.

17. The Commission shall facilitate such contacts and shall exercise its right of initiative in a constructive manner with a view to reconciling the positions of the European Parliament and the Council, with due regard for the balance between the institutions and the role conferred on it by the Treaty.

18. Where an agreement is reached at this stage, the chair of the relevant parliamentary committee shall indicate, in a letter to the chair of Coreper, his recommendation to the plenary to accept the Council common position without amendment, subject to confirmation of the common position by the Council and to legal-linguistic verification. A copy of the letter shall be forwarded to the Commission.

SECOND READING

19. In its statement of reasons, the Council shall explain as clearly as possible the reasons that led it to adopt its common position. During its second reading, the European Parliament shall take the greatest possible account of those reasons and of the Commission's position.

20. Before transmitting the common position, the Council shall endeavour to consider in consultation with the European Parliament and the Commission the date for its transmission in order to ensure the maximum efficiency of the legislative procedure at second reading.

Agreement at the stage of second reading in the European Parliament

21. Appropriate contacts will continue as soon as the Council common position is forwarded to the European Parliament, with a view to achieving a better understanding of the respective positions and thus to bringing the legislative procedure to a conclusion as quickly as possible.

22. The Commission shall facilitate such contacts and give its opinion with a view to reconciling the positions of the European Parliament and the Council, with due regard for the balance between the institutions and the role conferred on it by the Treaty.

23. Where an agreement is reached through informal negotiations in trilogues, the chair of Coreper shall forward, in a letter to the chair of the relevant parliamentary committee, details of the substance of the agreement, in the form of amendments to the Council common position. That letter shall indicate the Council's willingness to accept that outcome, subject to legal-linguistic verification, should it be confirmed by the vote in plenary. A copy of that letter shall be forwarded to the Commission.

CONCILIATION

24. If it becomes clear that the Council will not be in a position to accept all the amendments of the European Parliament at second reading and when the Council is ready to present its position, a first trilogue will be organised. Each institution, in accordance with its own rules of procedure, will designate its participants for each meeting and define its mandate for the negotiations. The Commission will indicate to both delegations at the earliest possible stage its intentions with regard to its opinion on the European Parliament's second reading amendments.

25. Trilogues shall take place throughout the conciliation procedure with the aim of resolving outstanding issues and preparing the ground for an agreement to be reached in the Conciliation Committee. The results of the trilogues shall be discussed and possibly approved at the meetings of the respective institutions.

26. The Conciliation Committee shall be convened by the President of the Council, with the agreement of the President of the European Parliament and with due regard to the provisions of the Treaty.

27. The Commission shall take part in the conciliation proceedings and shall take all the necessary initiatives with a view to reconciling the positions of the European Parliament and the Council. Such initiatives may include, draft compromise texts having regard to the positions of the European Parliament and of the Council and with due regard for the role conferred upon the Commission by the Treaty.

28. The Conciliation Committee shall be chaired jointly by the President of the European Parliament and the President of the Council. Committee meetings shall be chaired alternately by each co-chair.

29. The dates and the agendas for the Conciliation Committee's meetings shall be set jointly by the cochairs with a view to the effective functioning of the Conciliation Committee throughout the conciliation procedure. The Commission shall be consulted on the dates envisaged. The European Parliament and the Council shall set aside, for guidance, appropriate dates for conciliation proceedings and shall notify the Commission thereof.

30. The co-chairs may put several dossiers on the agenda of any one meeting of the Conciliation Committee. As well as the principal topic (‘B-item’), where agreement has not yet been reached, conciliation procedures on other topics may be opened and/or closed without discussion on these items (‘A-item’).

31. While respecting the Treaty provisions regarding time-limits, the European Parliament and the Council shall, as far as possible, take account of scheduling requirements, in particular those resulting from breaks in the institutions' activities and from the European Parliament's elections. At all events, the break in activities shall be as short as possible.

32. The Conciliation Committee shall meet alternately at the premises of the European Parliament and the Council, with a view to an equal sharing of facilities, including interpretation facilities.

33. The Conciliation Committee shall have available to it the Commission proposal, the Council common position and the Commission's opinion thereon, the amendments proposed by the European Parliament and the Commission's opinion thereon, and a joint working document by the European Parliament and Council delegations. This working document should enable users to identify the issues at stake easily and to refer to them efficiently. The Commission shall, as a general rule, submit its opinion within three weeks of official receipt of the outcome of the European Parliament's vote and at the latest by the commencement of conciliation proceedings.

34. The co-chairs may submit texts for the Conciliation Committee's approval.

35. Agreement on a joint text shall be established at a meeting of the Conciliation Committee or, subsequently, by an exchange of letters between the co-chairs. Copies of such letters shall be forwarded to the Commission.

36. If the Conciliation Committee reaches agreement on a joint text, the text shall, after legal-linguistic finalisation, be submitted to the co-chairs for formal approval. However, in exceptional cases in order to respect the deadlines, a draft joint text may be submitted to the co-chairs for approval.

37. The co-chairs shall forward the approved joint text to the Presidents of the European Parliament and of the Council by means of a jointly signed letter. Where the Conciliation Committee is unable to agree on a joint text, the co-chairs shall notify the Presidents of the European Parliament and of the Council thereof in a jointly signed letter. Such letters shall serve as an official record. Copies of such letters shall be forwarded to the Commission for information. The working documents used during the conciliation procedure will be accessible in the Register of each institution once the procedure has been concluded.

38. The Secretariat of the European Parliament and the General- Secretariat of the Council shall act jointly as the Conciliation Committee's secretariat, in association with the Secretariat-General of the Commission.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

39. Should the European Parliament or the Council deem it essential to extend the time-limits referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty, they shall notify the President of the other institution and the Commission accordingly.

40. Where an agreement is reached at first or second reading, or during conciliation, the agreed text shall be finalised by the legal-linguistic services of the European Parliament and of the Council acting in close cooperation and by mutual agreement.

41. No changes shall be made to any agreed texts without the explicit agreement, at the appropriate level, of both the European Parliament and the Council.

42. Finalisation shall be carried out with due regard to the different procedures of the European Parliament and the Council, in particular with respect to deadlines for conclusion of internal procedures. The institutions undertake not to use the time-limits laid down for the legal-linguistic finalisation of acts to reopen discussions on substantive issues.

43. The European Parliament and the Council shall agree on a common presentation of the texts prepared jointly by those institutions.

44. As far as possible, the institutions undertake to use mutually acceptable standard clauses to be incorporated in the acts adopted under codecision in particular as regards provisions concerning the exercise of implementing powers (in accordance with the ‘comitology’ decision (2)), entry into force, transposition and the application of acts and respect for the Commission's right of initiative.

45. The institutions will endeavour to hold a joint press conference to announce the successful outcome of the legislative process at first or second reading or during conciliation. They will also endeavour to issue joint press releases.

46. Following adoption of a legislative act under the codecision procedure by the European Parliament and the Council, the text shall be submitted, for signature, to the President of the European Parliament and the President of the Council and to the Secretaries-General of those institutions.

47. The Presidents of the European Parliament and the Council shall receive the text for signature in their respective languages and shall, as far as possible, sign the text together at a joint ceremony to be organised on a monthly basis with a view to signing important acts in the presence of the media.

48. The jointly signed text shall be forwarded for publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. Publication shall normally follow within two months of the adoption of the legislative act by the European Parliament and the Council.

49. If one of the institutions identifies a clerical or obvious error in a text (or in one of the language versions thereof), it shall immediately notify the other institutions. If the error concerns an act that has not yet been adopted by either the European Parliament or the Council, the legal-linguistic services of the European Parliament and the Council shall prepare the necessary corrigendum in close cooperation. Where this error concerns an act that has already been adopted by one or both of those institutions, whether published or not, the European Parliament and the Council shall adopt, by common agreement, a corrigendum drawn up under their respective procedures.

The EU in global competition

| 2. | Considers that the development of trade is not an end in itself, but must be assessed in the light of its impact on economic growth, employment and sustainable development; points out that an analysis of European economic competitiveness, instead of solely focusing on trade figures, should also focus on the proportion of total world output achieved by European producers and on employment trends; |

| 5. | Considers it necessary, firstly, to pursue a monetary policy based on price stability so as to be able to finance technological progress and to assist small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by enabling them to enter markets outside the euro-zone; secondly, to establish business-friendly taxation systems that are likely to increase the number of start-ups and, to that end, to cut taxes that undermine efficiency and impede job creation, especially for particular social groups such as women, the long-term unemployed, and the elderly; and, thirdly, to increase competition on the internal market, bearing in mind that the fiercer competition is within the EU, the more able EU-based companies will be to compete outside the EU; |

| 6. | Is convinced that the social model that remains at the base of European industrial relations has enabled the EU to maintain a high degree of global competitiveness vis-à-vis its main competitors; considers that the biggest challenge facing the EU is to uphold the functioning of that social model despite existing pressure, in increasingly competitive global markets, to further lower the social and environmental costs of production; |

| 7. | Believes that the benefits of an open trading system outweigh its potentially disruptive impact; considers, therefore, that the EU should continue to strive to complete the single market, continue to promote increased global liberalisation and free and fair trade and resist protectionism; also believes, however, that its potentially disruptive impact on certain sectors, regions and countries, such as the effects of displacement and relocation, cannot be disregarded; |

Recalls that negotiations are currently taking place on multilateral disciplines concerning TDIs within the framework of the DDA; welcomes those negotiations but regrets American opposition to reforms of the WTO's framework for TDIs; believes that the global escalation in the use of TDIs, particularly by advanced industrial countries, calls for new and more stringent rules at WTO level so as to ensure the continuation of free and fair world trade;

Margrietus van den Berg moved an oral amendment to amendment 23, which then read as follows:

30. Notes the poor levels of revenue collection in many ACP countries and calls for additional support for tax reforms and measures to prevent tax evasion as part of a strategy to minimise the effect of lost tariff revenues; is also worried about the impact of falling customs revenue on ACP budgets, which could entail public spending cuts in key sectors such as education or health; calls on the EU to help to set up the compensation mechanisms required to avert consequences of this sort;

10.   Common Foreign and Security Policy 2005

Notes that one of the most contentious issues surrounding AfT relates to its very definition, since AfT is used to describe an extremely wide range of trade-related assistance measures provided to developing countries;

| 16. | Recalls that, as defined by the OECD and the Development Assistance Committee (DAC), and recorded in the Doha Development Agenda Trade Capacity Building Database (TCBDB), trade-related assistance has traditionally fallen into two basic categories: trade policy and regulation and trade development, the latter of which is interpreted as including private sector support and, to a lesser extent, supply-side constraints as well as some adjustment support; |

Stresses, however, that the WTO Aid for Trade Task Force (WTO AfT TF) has added three further categories of AfT to the two existing categories: trade-related adjustment, trade-related infrastructure, and productive capacity;

| 18. | Notes that, as these three AfT categories overlap with the existing two, and therefore risk being indistinguishable from general development cooperation, they cannot form the subject of the existing quantitative targets set by the Commission or commitments undertaken by the Member States until there is an international consensus on their definition, since this wider AfT area would be at risk of unclear reporting and double counting; |

| 19. | Believes, however, that the extra three categories proposed in the broad and ambitious definition of the WTO AfT TF are valuable in that they accurately reflect the wide-ranging trade-related needs of developing countries and should therefore be used in countries' development and poverty reduction strategies in order to promote the effective inclusion of all relevant trade-related priorities; considers that the key challenge, and opportunity, now is to develop a coherent set of instruments that combine to channel assistance that helps developing countries to engage in more advantageous trade and thus promote economic growth and poverty reduction and drive development forward; |

| 21. | Notes that AfT initiatives should pay greater attention to the crucial involvement of the private sector, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), trade unions and civil society, both in the identification of needs and in the implementation of assistance, so as to allow AfT to better facilitate the creation and growth of enterprises, and the effective creation of decent jobs; in this regard, emphasises the need to allocate some AfT funding to Fair Trade, in accordance with paragraph 19 of its abovementioned Resolution on Fair Trade and Development; |

Trade Adjustment

| 23. | Notes that, while trade adjustment is not expressly referred to in the abovementioned Hong Kong Ministerial Declaration it should be included as an important element of the wider AfT agenda; recalls, in this regard, that the UN Millennium Project's Task Force on Trade proposed a temporary ‘aid for trade fund’, while the EU Trade Commissioner himself proposed (on 4 February 2005) the establishment of a special Trade Adjustment Fund to ‘help the poor to trade more effectively and ease the social costs of adjustment’; |

| 42. | Considers that, to date, the EU has focused comparatively very little of its trade-related assistance in the area of services, which is inconsistent with the importance of services in global trade; stresses, therefore, that the targeting of Official Development Assistance (ODA) and AfT funds in the area of services is essential to strengthen the potential of developing countries to manage and regulate their services sectors, to export services, and to comply with relevant regulatory and other services-related requirements in OECD countries; further, emphasises the need to provide developing countries with funding and legal and technical expertise so as to enable them to defend their economic interests at international level; |

| 45. | Stresses that, within the context of building productive capacities, AfT should also support efforts to engage small and disadvantaged producers in trade, support the build-up of producer associations and their representative structures, facilitate access to trade finance and enable direct contacts to be made between producers and consumers, as this constitutes best practice in existing Fair Trade initiatives; |

| 46. | Believes that the creation of trade capacities that fall within the ambit of AfT must be accompanied by more effective efforts to ensure decent producer remuneration; in this connection recalls the importance of producer participation in the setting of prices, as envisaged in the Compendium of the Cotonou Agreement; |

As regards the Doha Development Agenda

| (d) | AfT is not a substitute for the Doha Development Agenda (DDA) negotiations and the development benefits that will result from improved market access; AfT is a valuable and necessary complement, which should contribute to the development dimension of the DDA by helping developing countries, particularly the LDCs, to implement and benefit from WTO agreements and more broadly by helping them to expand their trade; AfT is not part of the DDA single undertaking and is necessary in its own right, independently of progress in the Doha Round, |

AfT cannot be linked to any outcome of the negotiations or used to compensate for a lack of market access,

As regards the commitments for more Aid for Trade and its implementation

| --- | --- |

(g)

increased AfT must be proportional to the magnitude of the identified challenges, predictable, stable and complementary to — but not replace — existing development aid,

| (h) | greater coherence with the different areas of external action, particularly trade and development policies, as well as greater complementarity and better harmonisation, alignment and coordination of procedures, both between the EU and its Member States and in relations with and between other donors are essential to ensure the consistency and effectiveness of AfT, |

Scaling up Aid for Trade

| 48. | Recalls that, at the Hong Kong Ministerial Conference, the EU and its Member States jointly pledged to increase collectively AfT to EUR 2 billion; notes that this pledge should be monitored on the basis of the traditional EU trade-related assistance categories of trade policy and regulation and trade development, as defined by OECD/DAC and recorded in the DAC/WTO DDA database; |

| 49. | Recognises, however, that, as the pledge is only to be in relation to trade-related assistance, there is a danger that available finance may be pushed toward this narrower strand of AfT in order to fulfil this target, and may prevent AfT from being genuinely demand-led in those cases in which countries or regions prioritise trade-related infrastructure and adjustment; calls on the Commission to address this concern in the joint strategy; |

Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs)

| 58. | Believes that appropriate support for EPA-related adjustment and accompanying measures will play a major role in determining the capacity of the ACP countries and regions to reap the potential benefits from EPA-related commitments and reforms; believes, moreover, that AfT to ACP countries is a necessary complement if they are to take full advantage of the opportunities arising from the international trading system; |

| 63. | Recalls that an Enhanced IF should become the key tool in assisting the LDCs in defining their needs in the area of trade through the Diagnostic Trade Integration Studies, and should al so become a substantial vehicle to assist the LDCs to mainstream trade into their national development plans and to improve their capacity to formulate, negotiate and implement trade policy; |

| 64. | Notes that the USD 400 million of Indicative Costing for the Enhanced IF, based on the participation of 40 LDCs over a period of five years, would amount to an average of USD 1-2 million per country per annum, which will be an improvement if effectively implemented but is nevertheless far from being a substantial response to existing challenges; |

| 70. | Notes that women benefit less from the opportunities presented by trade liberalisation and globalisation, while at the same time they are harder hit by the adverse effects of those phenomena, and urges the EU therefore, in its trade-related assistance programmes, to devote specific attention to increasing opportunities for women to participate in trade, particularly international trade; |

Monitoring, evaluation, review and Parliament's role in scrutiny and oversight

| 71. | Believes that the OECD/DAC should monitor the global AfT agenda so as to ensure maximum transparency in the management and destination of aid, but agrees with the recommendation of the WTO TF to incorporate AfT into the donor's and/or recipient's WTO Trade Policy Reviews; |

Parliamentary scrutiny of the CFSP

| 45. | Takes note of the descriptive annual report on CFSP activities in 2005 submitted by the Council on 30 June 2006; reiterates the need for the Council not only to inform Parliament but above all to fully involve Parliament in the main aspects and basic choices of the CFSP for 2007; regrets that the Council has once more neglected the right of Parliament to be consulted annually ex ante on forthcoming aspects and choices for 2006 as provided for in Article 21 of the EU Treaty and in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999; |

| 46. | Notes that, despite the Council's infringement of Article 21 of the EU Treaty, for procedural reasons it is not possible to refer the Council's practice to the Court of Justice, since Article 46 of the EU Treaty does not include Article 21 in the exhaustive list of cases where the EC Treaty provisions regarding actions before the Court of Justice also apply to the CFSP field; |

| 47. | Reiterates its disappointment, however, that the Council has limited itself to merely informing Parliament and submitting a descriptive list of CFSP activities carried out in the previous year, which is stated even by the Council itself in the preambles to the annual reports, instead of really consulting Parliament at the beginning of each year on the main aspects and basic choices to be made for that year, including its financial implications, as provided for in Article 28 of the EU Treaty, and subsequently reporting to Parliament whether — and, if so, how — Parliament's contribution has been taken into account, and stresses that this practice constitutes a de facto infringement of the very substance of Article 21; |

The financing of the CFSP/ESDP

| 55. | Regards the total amount of EUR 1 740 million allocated to the CFSP for the period from 2007 to 2013 as insufficient to achieve the ambitions of the EU as a global actor, while recognising that the CFSP funding agreed for 2007, amounting to EUR 159,2 million, represents an important step forward in comparison with previous allocations of funds; |

The aim of amendment 48 (Verts/ALE) was to insert a new § 44a, not a new § 9a.

The aim of amendment 52 (Verts/ALE) was to insert a new § 56a, not a new § 33a.

The PPE-DE Group had proposed splitting the existing § 23 into two separate paragraphs:

23. Notes that ... without due process;

23a. Deplores ... armed forces;

On behalf of the PSE Group, Jo Leinen moved an oral amendment to amendment 11, which then read as follows:

Paragraph 26a (new)

26a. Urges the EU to take a firm stance in upholding the democracy and human rights clause in its agreements with both India and Pakistan, seeking an intense political dialogue with both countries on human rights including within Kashmir, and examining the possibility of setting up a specific human rights dialogue with Pakistan as is the case already with India and the establishment of specific human rights subcommittees dealing with both countries, as in the case of certain other countries;

| TEXT PROPOSED BY THE COMMISSION | AMENDMENTS BY PARLIAMENT |
| --- | --- |
| Amendment 1 |
| Recital 6 |
| (6) Simplification should not lead to calling into question the political decisions that have been taken over the years in the CAP. This Regulation should, therefore,
  essentially
  be an act of technical simplification. It should not, therefore, repeal or change existing instruments unless they
  have become obsolete, redundant or
  should not, by their
  very
  nature, be dealt with at Council level, nor introduce new instruments or measures. | (6) Simplification should not lead to calling into question the political decisions that have been taken over the years in the CAP. This Regulation should, therefore,
  solely
  be an act of technical simplification. It should not, therefore, repeal or change existing instruments unless they should not, by their
  purely technical
  nature, be dealt with at Council level, nor introduce new instruments or measures. |
| Amendment 2 |
| Recital 7 |
| (7) Against this background, this Regulation should not introduce
  those parts of
  CMOs which are subject to policy reviews
  . This is the case with regard to certain parts of the fruit and vegetables, the bananas and the wine sectors. The rules contained in the respective Regulations (EEC) No 404/93, (EC) No 2200/96, (EC) No 2201/96 and (EC) No 1493/1999
  should
  , therefore,
  only be incorporated into this Regulation
  to the extent that they are not themselves subject to any
  policy reforms. | (7) Against this background, this Regulation should not introduce CMOs which are subject to policy reviews
  and
  should only be incorporated into this Regulation
  once the ongoing
  policy reforms
  have been completed
  . |
| Amendment 3 |
| Recital 9 |
| (9) The CMOs for cereals, rice, sugar, dried fodder, seeds, olives, flax and hemp, bananas,
  wine,
  milk and milk products and silk worms provide for marketing years mainly adapted to the biological production cycles of each of these products.
  In the CMOs for fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables, the Commission has been empowered to fix the marketing years due to the fact that the production cycles of these products vary to a large extent and that in some cases it is not necessary to fix a marketing year. The marketing years as they have been fixed in the mentioned sectors and the power of the Commission to fix the marketing years for the fruit and vegetables and the processed fruit and vegetables sectors should, therefore, be incorporated into this Regulation. | (9) The CMOs for cereals, rice, sugar, dried fodder, seeds, olives, flax and hemp, bananas, milk and milk products and silk worms provide for marketing years mainly adapted to the biological production cycles of each of these products. |
| Amendment 4 |
| Recital 11a (new) |
| | (11a) Organisations of an interbranch nature set up at the initiative of operator organisations and representing a significant share of the different professional categories of the sector concerned are capable of contributing to greater account being taken of the realities of the market and of facilitating the development of modes of economic behaviour with a view to improving knowledge as well as the organisation of production and product presentation and marketing. Given that the activities of these organisations of an interbranch nature can make a general contribution to the realisation of the objectives of Article 33 of the Treaty, and in particular of those referred to in this Regulation, this Regulation does not call into question the existence and the functioning of this type of organisation in the Member States. |
| Amendment 5 |
| Recital 20 |
| (20) Under the basic regulations for the beef and veal, the pigmeat and the sheep meat and goat meat sectors Community scales for the classification of carcases have been established. These schemes are essential for the purposes of price recording and the application of the intervention arrangements in the beef and veal and pigmeat sectors. Moreover, they pursue the objective to improve market transparency. Such carcase classification schemes should be maintained.
  However, due to their mainly technical character it appears appropriate to entrust the Commission with the necessary powers to adopt the relevant rules, acting on the basis of criteria underlying the existing schemes. | (20) Under the basic regulations for the beef and veal, the pigmeat and the sheep meat and goat meat sectors Community scales for the classification of carcases have been established.

  and the application of the intervention arrangements in the beef and veal and pigmeat sectors. Moreover, they pursue the objective to improve market transparency. Such carcase classification schemes should be maintained.
  Classification of adult bovine and sheep carcases should be carried out on the basis of conformation and the degree of fat cover. The combined use of these two criteria makes it possible to divide carcases into classes. Carcases classified in this way should be subject to identification. In order to ensure the uniform application of this Regulation in the Community, provision should be made for on-the-spot checks by a Community inspection committee. |
| Amendment 6 |
| Recital 25 |
| (25) Specific instruments are needed to ensure a fair balance of rights and obligations between sugar undertakings and sugar beet growers. Therefore,
  the standard provisions contained so far in the sugar CMO should be transferred to this Regulation
  to govern the contractual relations between buyers and sellers of sugar beet.
  Detailed terms have, so far, been subject to the CMO for sugar as Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006. Given the highly technical character of these terms, it is considered to be more appropriate to deal with these questions at Commission level. | (25) Specific instruments are needed to ensure a fair balance of rights and obligations between sugar undertakings and sugar beet growers. Therefore,
  framework provisions should be established
  to govern the contractual relations between buyers and sellers of sugar beet.
  The diversity of natural, economic and technical situations makes it difficult to provide for uniform purchase terms for sugar beet throughout the Community. Agreements within the trade already exist between associations of sugar beet growers and sugar undertakings. Therefore, framework provisions should only define the minimum guarantees required by both sugar beet growers and the sugar industry to ensure a smooth functioning of the sugar market with the possibility to derogate from some rules in the context of an agreement within the trade. |

| Amendment 8 |
| Recital 35 |
| (35) In line with the purpose of this Regulation,
  the structure of the milk quota
  should be
  aligned with that of the sugar quota provisions
  . Accordingly,
  the point of departure of the dairy rules should no longer be the obligation to pay an additional levy where the national reference quantity is exceeded but the fixation of
  national quotas which in case they are overrun give rise to collecting a
  surplus
  levy. | (35) In line with the purpose of this Regulation,
  the arrangements concerning control of production in the milk sector and those applicable to the sugar sector
  should be
  brought together in one section
  . Accordingly,
  in the milk sector, the term ‘national reference quantities’ should be replaced by ‘national quotas’
  which in case they are overrun give rise to collecting a levy. |
| Amendment 9 |
| Recital 35a (new) |
| | (35a) The essential objective of the milk quota system is to reduce the imbalance between supply and demand for milk and dairy products and the resulting structural surpluses and thereby achieve a better market balance. Accordingly, this system should be continued for seven more consecutive 12-month periods from 1 April 2008. In addition, the method adopted in 1984 of setting a levy to be paid on milk collected or sold directly outside the quota should be maintained. |
| Amendment 10 |
| Recital 95 |
| (95) This Regulation confers powers on the Commission which had, in the past, been conferred on the Council for adoption in accordance with the voting procedure of Article 37 of the Treaty. Such Council acts need to remain in force until the Commission adopts the relevant provisions based on the powers conferred on it by this Regulation. To avoid that in such cases there would be parallel provisions adopted by the Council on the one hand and by the Commission on the other, the Commission should be entitled to repeal such Council acts. | (95) This Regulation confers powers on the Commission which had, in the past, been conferred on the Council for adoption
  of technical provisions

  technical
  provisions based on the powers conferred on it by this Regulation. To avoid that in such cases there would be parallel provisions adopted by the Council on the one hand and by the Commission on the other, the Commission should be entitled to repeal such Council acts.
  All political provisions should be adopted by the Council pursuant to Article 37 of the Treaty, after consulting the European Parliament. |

4. Manufacturers producing a quantity of sugar lower than their quota beet for which they have signed pre-sowing delivery contracts shall distribute the quantity of beet corresponding to any additional production up to the amount of their quota among the sellers with whom they have signed pre-sowing contracts for the delivery of beet intended for the production of quota sugar.

Agreements within the trade may derogate from this provision.

Introduction

| 1. | Stresses that India, Pakistan and China (to which Pakistan ceded the Trans-Karakoram Tract in 1963) are important EU partners, the first enjoying strategic partnership status; believes that a resolution of the continuing conflict along the LoC can best be achieved jointly by a constant engagement between the governments of India and Pakistan, involving the peoples of all parts of the former princely state; nevertheless thinks that the EU may have something to offer based on past experience of successful conflict resolution in a multi-ethnic, multinational, multi-faith context; therefore offers the present resolution and any meetings that may come out of it as part of a shared experience from which the EU can also learn; reiterates the importance of continued EU support to both India and Pakistan as they implement the 2004 peace process; |
