Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 29 Mars 2007 with a view to the adoption of Directive 2007/.../EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on certain aspects of mediation in civil and commercial matters

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 61(c) and the second indent of Article 67(5) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

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

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

Whereas:

| (1) | The Community has set itself the objective of maintaining and developing an area of freedom, security and justice, in which the free movement of persons is ensured. To that end, the Community is to adopt, inter alia, measures in the field of judicial cooperation in civil matters that are necessary for the proper functioning of the internal market. |

(1)

The Community has set itself the objective of maintaining and developing an area of freedom, security and justice, in which the free movement of persons is ensured. To that end, the Community is to adopt, inter alia, measures in the field of judicial cooperation in civil matters that are necessary for the proper functioning of the internal market.

| (2) | The
  principle of access to justice is fundamental and, with a view to securing better access to justice, the
  European Council meeting in Tampere on 15 and 16 October 1999 called for alternative, extrajudicial procedures to be created by
  the
  Member States. |

  European Council meeting in Tampere on 15 and 16 October 1999 called for alternative, extrajudicial procedures to be created by
  the
  Member States.

| (3) | The Council adopted conclusions on alternative methods of settling disputes under civil and commercial law in 2000, stating that the establishment of basic principles in this area is an essential step towards enabling the appropriate development and operation of extrajudicial procedures for the settlement of disputes in civil and commercial matters so as to simplify and improve access to justice. |

| (5) | The objective of ensuring better access to justice, as part of the policy of the European Union to establish an area of freedom, security and justice should encompass access to judicial as well as extrajudicial dispute resolution methods. This Directive should contribute to the proper functioning of the internal market, in particular as concerns the provision and receipt of mediation services. |

This Directive should contribute to the proper functioning of the internal market, in particular as concerns the provision and receipt of mediation services.

| (6) | This Directive also applies to consumer mediation. Therefore, it should take into account the particularities of consumer mediation. In particular, it should incorporate the principles set out in Commission Recommendation 2001/310/EC of 4 April 2001 on the principles for out-of-court bodies involved in the consensual resolution of consumer disputes (3). |

| (7) | Mediation can provide a cost-efficient and quick extrajudicial resolution of disputes in civil and commercial matters through processes tailored to the needs of the parties.
  Agreements resulting from
  mediation are more likely to be enforced voluntarily and are more likely to preserve an amicable and sustainable relationship between the parties. These benefits become even more pronounced in situations displaying cross-border elements. |

| (9) | Member States are encouraged to apply the provisions of this Directive also to internal cases, notably with a view to facilitating the proper functioning of the internal market. Moreover, the fact that the provisions of this Directive are expressed as being limited to cases having crossborder implications should not have the effect of limiting rules of national law that currently provide for the enforceability of agreements resulting from mediation, the confidentiality of mediation or the effect of mediation on limitation and prescription periods also in cases not covered by this Directive. |

| (10) | This Directive should cover processes where two or more parties to a
  cross-border
  dispute are assisted by a mediator to reach an amicable agreement on the settlement of the dispute, but should exclude processes
  such as pre-contractual negotiations or processes
  of an adjudicatory nature such as arbitration,
  judicial conciliation schemes, ombudsman schemes, consumer complaint schemes, expert determination or processes administered by bodies issuing a formal recommendation, be it legally binding or not, as to the resolution of the dispute.
  Cases where a court refers parties to mediation or in which national law prescribes mediation should also be covered, although the principle remains that mediation is a voluntary process and national legislation making the use of mediation compulsory or subject to incentives or sanctions should not prevent parties from exercising their right of access to the judicial system. Furthermore, mediation conducted by a judge who is not responsible for any judicial proceedings relating to the matter or matters in dispute should also come within the scope of this Directive. Nevertheless, this Directive should not extend to attempts made by the court or judge seised to settle a dispute in the context of judicial proceedings concerning that dispute or to cases in which the court or judge seised requests assistance or advice from a competent person. |

| (11) | Given the importance of confidentiality in the mediation process, a
  minimum degree of compatibility of civil procedural rules is necessary
  with regard to
  how the confidentiality of the
  mediation is
  protected in any subsequent
  civil and commercial,
  judicial
  or arbitration
  proceedings. The possibility for the court to
  draw the parties' attention
  to mediation should also be covered, while retaining the principle that mediation is a voluntary process.
  It is also necessary to provide for a minimum degree of compatibility of civil procedural rules with regard to the effect of mediation on limitation and prescription periods. |

  that agreements resulting from mediation
  are dependent on the goodwill of the parties for their enforcement. It is therefore necessary to ensure that
  parties to a written
  agreement
  resulting from mediation may request that its content be made enforceable in so far as enforceability of such content is possible under the law of the Member State in which the request for enforcement is made. The content of such an agreement may be rendered enforceable
  in a judgment
  or
  decision or
  by an
  authentic
  act
  by a court or
  by another competent
  authority
  in accordance with the law of the Member State where the request is made
  . |

| (13) | The content of an agreement resulting from mediation which is rendered enforceable in a Member State will be recognised and declared enforceable in the other Member States in accordance with applicable Community or national law, for example on the basis of Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 of 22 December 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters (4) or Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/2003 of 27 November 2003 concerning jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in matrimonial matters and the matters of parental responsibility (5). |

| (14) | Although this Directive covers mediation in family law matters, it extends only to the rights available to the parties under the law of the Member State in which mediation takes place. Moreover, if the content of an agreement resulting from mediation in family matters is not enforceable in the Member State where it was concluded and where its enforcement is sought, this Directive does not enable the parties to circumvent the law of that Member State by having the agreement rendered enforceable in another Member State, given that Regulation (EC) No 2201/2003 specifically provides that such agreement must be enforceable in the Member State in which it was concluded. |

  , effective quality control mechanisms must be put in place concerning the provision of mediation services and training of mediators.

| (16) | These mechanisms and measures, which
  should
  be defined by the Member States and may include having recourse to market-based solutions, should aim at preserving the flexibility of the mediation process and the private autonomy of the parties. The Commission
  should
  encourage self-regulatory measures at Community level.
  For their part, the Member States should encourage and promote the application of the European Code of Conduct for Mediators, which the Commission should publish in the C Series of the Official Journal of the European Union, while ensuring that the quality of mediation is guaranteed by the criteria listed and defined in Commission Recommendation 98/257/EC of 30 March 1998 on the principles applicable to the bodies responsible for out-ofcourt settlement of consumer disputes (6) and in Recommendation 2001/310/EC: impartiality, transparency, efficiency, fairness, representation, independence, adversarial procedure, legality and freedom. Likewise, in business-to-consumer mediation, the Member States should promote the application of the principles set out in Recommendation 2001/310/EC. Furthermore, the Member States should encourage the development of a system of certification of national bodies offering training courses in mediation. |

  and ensuring
  a
  balanced
  relationship between mediation and judicial proceedings.

2.   This Directive shall apply in civil and commercial matters.
  It shall not extend, in particular, to revenue, customs or administrative matters or to the liability of the State for acts and omissions in the exercise of State authority (acta iure imperii).

3.   In this Directive, ‘Member State’ shall mean all Member States with the exception of Denmark.

Article 2

Scope

  This Directive shall apply if, as at the date on which the parties agree to mediate, at least one of them is domiciled or habitually resident in a Member State other than the Member State of any other party.

2.
     
  Notwithstanding paragraph 1, Articles 6 and 7 shall apply in relation to judicial proceedings following a mediation if, as at the date on which the parties agree to mediate, the court that would be seised in the event of any subsequent judicial proceedings would be in a Member State other than a Member State in which at least one of the parties is domiciled or habitually resident.

3.
     
  For the purposes of paragraphs 1 and 2, the Member State in which a party is domiciled or habitually resident shall be determined in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 or Regulation (EC) No 2201/2003.

Article 3

Definitions

For the purposes of this Directive the following definitions shall apply:

  process
  of a voluntary nature
  , however named or referred to, where two or more parties to a dispute

  dispute
  with the assistance of a mediator. This
  process
  may be
  initiated by the parties
  or
  suggested or ordered by a court or prescribed by
  the law
  of a Member State
  , provided that the voluntary nature of mediation is respected
  .
  It
  includes mediation conducted by a judge who is not responsible for any judicial proceedings in that dispute. However, it does

  any third
  person who is appointed in circumstances giving rise to a reasonable expectation that the mediation will be conducted in a professional, impartial and competent way
  , regardless of the denomination or profession of that third
  person
  in the Member State concerned and of the way the third
  person
  has been appointed or requested to conduct the mediation.

Article 4

Quality of mediation

1.
     
  Member States shall, by any means which they consider to be appropriate, encourage the development of and adherence to voluntary codes of conduct by mediators and organisations providing mediation services as well as other effective quality-control mechanisms concerning the provision of mediation services.

2.
     
  Member States shall encourage the initial and further training of mediators in order to ensure that the conduct of mediation is fair, effective, impartial and competent in relation to the parties and that the procedures are suited to the circumstances of the dispute.

3.
     
  Member States shall encourage the development of a system of certification of national bodies offering training courses in mediation.

Article 5

Referral to mediation

1.   A court before which an action is brought may, when appropriate and having regard to all circumstances of the case, invite the parties to use mediation in order to settle the dispute. The court may
  also invite
  the parties to attend an information session on the use of mediation
  if such sessions are held and are easily available
  .

2.   This Directive is without prejudice to national legislation making the use of mediation compulsory or subject to incentives or sanctions, whether before or after judicial proceedings have started, provided that such legislation does not
  prevent parties from exercising their
  right of access to the judicial
  system
  .

  Mediation shall be a voluntary process.

Article 6

Enforcement

  to the extent that enforceability of the content of the agreement is possible under and
  not contrary to
  the
  law
  of
  the Member State where the request is made.

2.
     
  The content of the agreement may be made enforceable in a judgment or a decision or by an authentic act by a court or other competent authority in accordance with the law of the Member State where the request is made.

3.   Member States shall inform the Commission of the courts or
  other
  authorities that are competent to receive a request in accordance with
  paragraphs 1 and 2
  .

4.
     
  Nothing in this Article shall affect the rules applicable to the recognition and enforcement in another Member State of agreements resulting from mediation which have been made enforceable in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2.

Article 7

Confidentiality of mediation

1.
     
  Given that mediation is intended to take place in a manner which respects confidentiality, Member States shall ensure that, unless the parties agree otherwise, neither mediators nor parties nor those involved in the administration of the mediation process are entitled or compelled to disclose to 3rd parties, or to give evidence in civil and commercial judicial proceedings or arbitration regarding information arising out of or in connection with a mediation except:

| (a) | for overriding considerations of public policy or other substantial reasons, in particular where necessary in order to ensure the protection of the best interests of children or to prevent harm to the physical or mental integrity of a person; or |

ANNEX I

FLAG STATE CODE (FSC)

PARTS 1 AND 2 OF THE CODE FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF MANDATORY IMO INSTRUMENTS

PART 1 — COMMON AREAS

Objective

1. The objective of this Code is to enhance global maritime safety and protection of the marine environment.

2. Different Administrations will view this Code according to their own circumstances and will be bound only for the implementation of those instruments referred to in paragraph 6 to which they are Contracting Governments or Parties. By virtue of geography and circumstance some Administrations may have a greater role as a flag State than as a port State or as a coastal State, whilst others may have a greater role as a coastal State or port State than as a flag State. Such imbalances do not diminish, in any way, their duties as a flag, port or coastal State.

Strategy

3. In order for a State to meet the objective of this Code a strategy should be developed, covering the following issues:

| (1) | implementation and enforcement of relevant international mandatory instruments; |
| --- | --- |

Initial actions

7. When a new or amended IMO mandatory instrument enters into force for a State, the Government of that State must be in a position to implement and enforce its provisions through appropriate national legislation and to provide the necessary implementation and enforcement infrastructure. This means that a Government of the State must have:

| (1) | the ability to promulgate laws which permit effective jurisdiction and control in administrative, technical and social matters over ships flying its flag and, in particular, provide the legal basis for general requirements for registries, the inspection of ships, safety and pollution-prevention laws applying to such ships and the making of associated regulations; |
| --- | --- |

8. A possible framework for national legislation to give effect to the provisions of relevant IMO instruments can be found in ‘Guidelines for Maritime Legislation’, a United Nations publication (2).

Communication of information

9. The State should communicate its strategy, as referred to in paragraph 3, including information on its national legislation to all concerned.

Records

10. Records, as appropriate, should be established and maintained to provide evidence of conformity to requirements and of the effective operation of the State. Records should remain legible, readily identifiable and retrievable. A documented procedure should be established to define the controls needed for the identification, storage, protection, retrieval, retention time and disposition of records.

Improvement

11. States should continually improve the adequacy of the measures which are taken to give effect to those conventions and protocols which they have accepted. Improvement should be made through rigorous and effective application and enforcement of national legislation, as appropriate, and monitoring of compliance.

12. The State should stimulate a culture which provides opportunities to people for improvement of performance in maritime safety and environmental protection activities.

13. Further, the State should take action to identify and eliminate the cause of any non-conformities in order to prevent recurrence, including:

| (1) | review and analysis of non-conformities; |

GUIDANCE ON FOLLOW UP ACTIONS ON SHIPS DETAINED BY A PORT STATE

(as referred to in Article 6)

1.   DETENTION BY A PORT STATE

| 1. | When the competent authority of a Member State (hereinafter called the flag State) is informed that a ship flying its flag has been detained by
  another
  port State it should oversee the appropriate corrective measures to bring the ship into compliance with the applicable regulations and international conventions.
  The measures listed below are deemed to be appropriate; the list does not prevent the adoption of equivalent or additional measures, so long as they are consistent with the aims of, and the means of action afforded by, this Directive. |

  another
  port State it should oversee the appropriate corrective measures to bring the ship into compliance with the applicable regulations and international conventions.
  The measures listed below are deemed to be appropriate; the list does not prevent the adoption of equivalent or additional measures, so long as they are consistent with the aims of, and the means of action afforded by, this Directive.

2.   IMMEDIATE ACTIONS

| 1. | As soon as the flag State is informed of the detention it should make contact with the company (the company for ISM purposes) and the port State to establish, as far as possible, the full circumstances of the detention. |
| --- | --- |

1.

As soon as the flag State is informed of the detention it should make contact with the company (the company for ISM purposes) and the port State to establish, as far as possible, the full circumstances of the detention.

| 2. | Based on this information the flag State should consider what immediate action is necessary to bring the ship into compliance. It may consider that some deficiencies can be readily rectified and confirmed by the port State (for example a life-raft which needs servicing). In such cases the flag State should seek confirmation from the port State that the deficiencies have been rectified. |

Based on this information the flag State should consider what immediate action is necessary to bring the ship into compliance. It may consider that some deficiencies can be readily rectified and confirmed by the port State (for example a life-raft which needs servicing). In such cases the flag State should seek confirmation from the port State that the deficiencies have been rectified.

| 3. | For more serious deficiencies, particularly structural ones and others covered by certificates issued
  by
  the flag
  State or
  by a recognised organisation (RO), the flag State should require
  a special supplementary
  inspection by one of its surveyors or appoint a surveyor from the RO to carry one out on its behalf. Initially this inspection should focus on those areas where deficiencies have been recorded by the port State. If deemed necessary by the flag State or RO surveyor it may then be extended to a full re-survey for those areas covered by the relevant statutory certificates. |

If deemed necessary by the flag State or RO surveyor it may then be extended to a full re-survey for those areas covered by the relevant statutory certificates.

| 4. | In cases where the RO has carried out the inspection referred to in paragraph 3, its surveyor should report to the flag State on the actions taken and the condition of the ship following this inspection so that the flag State may determine what further action, if any, is necessary. |
| --- | --- |

4.

In cases where the RO has carried out the inspection referred to in paragraph 3, its surveyor should report to the flag State on the actions taken and the condition of the ship following this inspection so that the flag State may determine what further action, if any, is necessary.

| 5. | If the inspection by the port State has also been suspended in accordance with Article 9(4) of Directive 95/21/EC or Article 13(5) of Directive 2007/.../EC [on port State control] the flag State should arrange for re-survey of the ship for those certificates covering the areas where deficiencies have been recorded by the port State and for any other areas that are subsequently found to be deficient. The flag State should either conduct this survey themselves or require a full report from the surveyor from the RO and, when appropriate, confirmation that a satisfactory survey has been completed and that all deficiencies have been rectified. When satisfied, the flag State should confirm to the port State that the ship complies with the requirements of the relevant regulations and international conventions. |
| --- | --- |

Article 13

Direct action against the provider of the financial guarantee for civil liability

The provider of the financial guarantee covering the owner's civil liability shall be directly liable for compensation for loss or damage caused by the ship.

The provider of the financial guarantee may rely on any defence which the owner himself would be entitled to raise, with the exception of those based on the owner's bankruptcy or liquidation.

The provider of the financial guarantee may also rely on the fact that the loss or damage was the result of an act or omission of the owner committed intentionally. However, it may not rely on any defence which it could have raised in an action brought against it by the owner.

The provider of the financial guarantee may, in all cases, require the owner to be joined in the proceedings.

Article 14

Solidarity fund to cover damage caused by ships without a financial guarantee

A solidarity fund shall be set up to compensate 3rd parties, whether natural or legal persons, that have suffered damage caused by ships which, notwithstanding the obligations laid down in this Directive, have sailed in EU territorial waters without being in possession of a financial guarantee certificate.

Organic production and labelling of organic products *

Proposal for a Council regulation on organic production and labelling of organic products (COM(2005)0671 — C6-0032/2006 — 2005/0278(CNS))

(Consultation procedure)

The proposal was amended on 29 March 2007 as follows (1):

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

| Recital 1 |
| (1) Organic production is an overall system of farm management and food production
  that
  combines best environmental practices, a high level of biodiversity, preservation of natural resources, application of high animal welfare standards and production in line with the preference of certain consumers for products produced using natural substances and processes. The organic production method thus plays
  a dual societal role, where it on the one hand provides

  and on the other hand delivers
  public goods
  contributing
  to the protection of the environment and animal welfare, as well as to rural development. | (1) Organic production is an overall system of farm management and food production
  which focuses on all facets of sustainable production and seeks to strike a balance,
  combines best environmental practices, a high level of biodiversity, the preservation of natural resources
  and the application of high animal welfare standards and
  aims to improve soil fertility by natural means and to ensure
  production in line with the preference of certain consumers for products produced using natural substances and processes. The organic production method thus plays
  several positive roles: not only does it provide
  for a specific market responding to a consumer demand for organic products,
  while delivering
  public goods
  not only limited to the food sector, but also and above all it contributes
  to the protection of the environment and animal welfare, as well as to
  social
  rural development. |
| Amendment 3 |
| Recital 2 |
| (2) The contribution of the organic agricultural sector is on the increase in most Member States. Growth in consumer demand in recent years is particularly notable. Recent reforms of the common agricultural policy, with its emphasis on market-orientation and the supply of quality products to meet consumer demands, are likely to further stimulate the market in organic produce.

  an increasingly important role in the agricultural policy framework and
  is
  closely related to the developments on the agricultural markets. | (2)

| Amendments 6 and 157 |
| Recital 7 |
| (7) A general Community framework of organic production rules should be established with regard to plant and livestock production, including rules on conversion, as well as on the production of processed food and of feed. Competence to determine the details of those general rules
  and to adopt Community production rules for aquaculture
  should be conferred on the Commission. | (7) A general Community framework of organic production rules should be established with regard to plant and livestock production, including rules on conversion, as well as on the production of processed food and of feed.

  , on the basis of established best practices,
  in particular by fostering
  soil fertility, crop rotation, local seed conservation, water and energy-saving practices and
  the use of new techniques and substances better suited to organic production. |
| Amendment 8 |
| Recital 9 |
| (9) Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and products produced from or by GMOs are incompatible with the concept of organic production and consumers' perception of organic products. They should therefore not be
  deliberately
  used in organic farming or in the processing of organic products. | (9) Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and products produced from or by GMOs are incompatible with the concept of organic production and consumers' perception of organic products. They should therefore not be used in organic farming or in the processing of organic products.
  The contamination of organic seeds, inputs, feed and food should be precluded by adequate national and Community legislation based on the precautionary principle. |
| Amendment 187 |
| Recital 9a (new) |
| | (9a) Taking account of growing risks of contamination of organic seeds, feed and food with GMOs and in the absence of national legislation in many Member States on related precautionary measures and liability, the Commission should, before 1 January 2008, publish a proposal for a framework directive on precautionary measures to avoid GMO contamination throughout the food chain, including a legislative framework of liability rules concerning any GMO contamination based on the polluter pays principle. |
| Amendment 9 |
| Recital 9b (new) |
| | (9b) The use of synthetic plant protection products is incompatible with organic production. |
| Amendment 10 |
| Recital 14 |
| (14) In order to avoid environmental pollution
  , in particular
  of natural resources such as the soil and water, organic production of livestock should in principle provide for a close relationship between such production and the land, suitable multiannual rotation systems and the feeding of livestock with organic-farming crop products produced on the holding itself or on neighbouring organic holdings. | (14) In order to avoid environmental pollution
  and irreversible impairment of the quality and availability
  of natural resources such as the soil and water, organic production of livestock should in principle provide for a close relationship between such production and the land, suitable multi-annual rotation systems and the feeding of livestock with organic-farming crop products produced on the holding itself or on neighbouring organic holdings. |
| Amendment 11 |
| Recital 15 |
| (15) As organic stock farming is a land-related activity, animals should have
  , where possible,
  access to open air or grazing areas. | (15) As organic stock farming is a land-related activity, animals should have access to open air or grazing areas
  whenever climatic and soil conditions permit
  . |
| Amendments 12 and 158 |
| Recital 16 |
| (16) Organic stock farming should respect high animal welfare standards and meet animals' species-specific behavioural needs and animal-health management should be based on disease prevention. In this respect, particular attention should be paid to housing conditions, husbandry practices and stocking densities. Moreover, the choice of breeds should favour slowgrowing strains and take account of their capacity to adapt to local conditions. The implementing rules for livestock production
  and aquaculture production should ensure compliance with at least the provisions of the European Convention to the Protection of Animals kept for Farming purposes (T-AP) and its subsequent recommendations. | (16) Organic stock farming should respect high animal welfare standards and meet animals' species-specific behavioural needs and animal-health management should be based on disease prevention. In this respect, particular attention should be paid to housing conditions, husbandry practices and stocking densities. Moreover, the choice of breeds should favour
  longliving, disease resistant, and
  slow-growing strains
  and indigenous local breeds

| Amendment 13 |
| Recital 17 |

It shall therefore encourage the increase of the gene pool of organic animals, improve self reliance and thus ensure the development of the sector. | (17) The organic livestock production system should aim at completing the production cycles of the different livestock species with organically reared animals. It should therefore encourage the increase of the gene pool of organic animals, improve self reliance and thus ensure
  and encourage
  the development of the sector. |
| Amendment 159 |
| Recital 18 |
| (18) Pending the adoption of Community production rules for aquaculture, Member States should have the possibility to provide for the application of national standards, or in the absence thereof private standards accepted or recognised by the Member States. However, to prevent disturbances on the internal market, Member States should be required to recognise each other's production standards in this field. | deleted |
| Amendment 14 |
| Recital 22a (new) |
| | (22a) Given the current diversity of cultivation and stock farming practices in organic farming, Member States should be allowed the option of applying additional, more stringent rules to organic farming on their territory. |
| Amendment 15 |
| Recital 25 |
| (25) In order to create clarity throughout the Community market, a simple standardised reference should be made obligatory for all organic products produced within the Community,
  at least
  where such products
  do not
  bear the Community organic production logo. The
  possibility to use this
  reference should also apply to organic products imported from third countries,
  but without any obligation to do so. | (25) In order to create clarity throughout the Community market, a simple standardised reference code should be made obligatory for all organic products produced within the Community,
  even
  where such products bear the Community organic production logo. The
  standardized
  reference

Amendments 12 and 158

Recital 16

(16) Organic stock farming should respect high animal welfare standards and meet animals' species-specific behavioural needs and animal-health management should be based on disease prevention. In this respect, particular attention should be paid to housing conditions, husbandry practices and stocking densities. Moreover, the choice of breeds should favour slowgrowing strains and take account of their capacity to adapt to local conditions. The implementing rules for livestock production
  and aquaculture production should ensure compliance with at least the provisions of the European Convention to the Protection of Animals kept for Farming purposes (T-AP) and its subsequent recommendations.

Amendment 159

Recital 18

(18) Pending the adoption of Community production rules for aquaculture, Member States should have the possibility to provide for the application of national standards, or in the absence thereof private standards accepted or recognised by the Member States. However, to prevent disturbances on the internal market, Member States should be required to recognise each other's production standards in this field.

| 1. | Points out that a system in which approximately 70 % of the Union's revenue do not originate in own resources but come directly from the national budgets through the GNI resource, and 15 % come from a resource such as the percentage of the VAT rate which cannot be regarded (on account of the way in which it is determined) as being in every respect an EU own resource, departs from the provisions and the spirit of the Treaty of Rome; points out that the very existence of the European Union has brought about an increase in intra-Community trade and an increase in the Member States' ‘wealth’, for which reason the EU is fully entitled to equip itself with a system of genuine own resources instead of one fed by national contributions; |

First phase of the reform: an improved system of national contributions

Conclusion

| 21. | Notes the proposal put forward by Finland in April 2004 on replacing the current financing system of the European Union, while leaving in place traditional own resources, by a GNI based system, taking GNI shares as the basis for the Member States' contributions towards the Union's own resources, abolishing the VAT resource in its current form, as it is only a mathematical basis for calculating the national contributions, and progressively suppressing the British rebate to zero in 2013; |

| 30. | Is convinced that, all other things being equal, the new system must not increase overall public expenditure nor the tax burden for citizens; concludes that, should a new system directly allocate a tax, visible for all citizens, partly or in full, to the European Union, an equivalent reduction would have to be made elsewhere; suggests that the national courts of auditors and the European Court of Auditors should be invited to check and guarantee compliance with this principle; |

| 8. | Wishes to explore the possibility of having meetings rooms available to all Members for talks with experts in relatively small groups (8-20 people) especially in view of the new D4-D5 buildings; considers that, in order to take account of the unpredictable needs arising from Parliament's work, it ought to be possible to reserve such rooms at sufficiently short notice and with a minimum of bureaucracy; expects a report by 1 July 2007 on any such existing facilities and the possibilities for developing them further; |

| 9. | Notes that achieving the best assistance to Members for the performance of their duties requires further development of the working and administrative structures and the strengthening of existing services; requests that the administration examine possibilities for the extension of the facilities provided to Members by the Library by its providing research support and an extensive single document and information repository of all existing texts and expertise (Knowledge Management System); expects relevant proposals with cost estimations, which also include the possibility of publishing the answers to such queries on the Parliament's Intranet, to be presented by 1 July 2007; |

Wishes to improve the tools used to raise European citizens' awareness of the role of the European Parliament in the legislative and decision-making process, of its activities in the field of European policy as well as the activities of the Members and political groups of the European Parliament, and to address the shortcomings related to the image of the European Union, especially in view of the 2009 elections; considers that the existing channels of communication do not respond adequately to this need;

| 17. | Believes, in particular, that greater involvement of the local and regional media would be highly profitable for the European project; invites therefore the administration to provide an action plan for communication oriented to the local and regional media and to explore new tools, in particular in order to prepare the next European elections, which will allow Members to communicate to local media; recalls that a special budget was allocated for a public awareness campaign in the year preceding the previous European electoral year; |

Improve the budget allocation

| 22. | Recalls that budgeting for the last two years has been done on the basis of justified needs for the efficient functioning of the institution; underlines that the European Parliament budget should be set at the level which allows the most effective work to be provided by the institution within a rational level of financial resources; considers that the budgetary level for 2008 including increases relating to adjustment on current prices should aim at remaining at the budgetary level of 2007 and should not in any event be more than 20 % of heading 5 which should constitute the upper limit of the budget; invites therefore the Bureau to consider the European Parliament's accountability to EU citizens when deciding on the level of Parliament's estimates; |

Fight against violence, racism, other forms of discrimination

| 18. | Notes that the Commission's reservations towards the new Member States with regard to the alleged surplus of stock on the day of accession to the EU and its threats to impose large financial penalties were unjustified in most cases and based on erroneous calculations; further notes that no disruption of the balance was observed on any of the agricultural markets that could have been the result of this alleged supply surplus; |

| 19. | Emphasises that the new Member States were forced to apply complementary national direct payments (CNDP, ‘top-ups’), which can be considered as a form of cofinancing and a quasi-renationalisation of Community direct payments, and that this led to serious political and economic difficulties in various new Member States as they imposed a serious burden on the national budgets and limited the possibility of applying state aid schemes; |

Future of the CAP in the enlarged EU

| 30. | Points out that the present CAP is unsuitable to manage a substantial part of agricultural and agriculture-related problems in the enlarged EU; considers that the decoupling of the direct payments, forced by the World Trade Organisation (WTO), increases in general the market orientation of European agriculture but that decoupled direct payments do not contribute fully to the establishment of a sustainable agricultural sector and rural society, either in the new Member States or in a considerable part of the EU-15; points out that either additional measures or tailor-made application of the direct payments are necessary; |

| 32. | Notes that, in the case of some new Member States, in some sectors, the allocated quota levels led to the freezing or even decline of agricultural production, and that the fact that decoupled payments were linked to the lower level of quotas constituted a further subsidies disadvantage for the new Member States, in addition to the phasing-in; also notes that the problem occurs also in some of the old Member States; |
