4.   Membership of political groups

The President announced that Daniela Buruiană-Aprodu and Cristian Stănescu had informed him in writing of their decision to leave the ITS Group, with effect from 14.11.2007.

The President concluded that the number of members of the ITS Group had now fallen below the minimum required to form a political group laid down by Rule 29(2).

Parliament took note of the fact that the ITS Group no longer fulfilled the conditions of the said Rule. As a consequence, the group ceased to exist with effect from the moment of this announcement.

The following spoke: Hans-Peter Martin, who informed the Chair that Jean-Marie Le Pen had made an inappropriate gesture in his direction, and asked the President to make the necessary checks of the video recording of the sitting (the President took note).

Miscellaneous

Ria Oomen-Ruijten, on behalf of the PPE-DE Group, had moved oral amendments to Amendment 1 and § 23, which then read as follows:

Amendment 1

Emphasises that the situation in Chechnya continues to be a point of dissent in the relations between the EU and Russia; reiterates its strong criticism of Russia's policy in Chechnya and its condemnation of the numerous human rights violations in Chechnya; calls on the Russian Federation as a matter of urgency to take concrete steps to eradicate torture and other ill-treatment, arbitrary detention and ‘disappearances’ in the Chechen Republic, and to tackle impunity in relation to such violations;

§ 23

Regrets the fact that Russia did not honour its commitment to phase out Siberian overflight payments, calls on Russia to sign the agreement reached on this issue at the last summit and underlines that a positive move by Russia would allow the EU to go ahead with the Aviation Summit planned for Moscow in spring 2008 to identify the enormous potential for cooperation in this key sector;

Hannes Swoboda and Marianne Mikko, on behalf of the PSE Group, had moved oral amendments to rec O, which then read as follows:

whereas the European Union and the Russian Federation could and should play an active role together in establishing peace and stability on the European continent, in particular in the common neighbourhood, and in other parts of the world, including Iran and the Middle East; whereas new tensions have arisen in Abkhazia and South Ossetia and no progress has been made towards resolving the other ‘frozen conflicts’, such as in Transnistria,

Part I:   The EU Vision of Humanitarian Aid

(a)   Common objectives

| 5. | Takes the view that the Consensus should contain a detailed definition of the objectives of EU humanitarian aid, based on the abovementioned Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/96 and on the abovementioned Principles and Good Practice of Humanitarian Donorship (GHD), and that amongst these objectives particular attention should be paid to the most vulnerable groups, such as women, children, the disabled, the elderly and ethnic minorities, including refugees fleeing conflict zones; |

| 6. | Stresses that effective humanitarian action, including emergency food aid, should be situation- and needs-based, result-oriented and driven by the principle that saving livelihoods saves lives; stresses further that humanitarian aid is not a crisis management tool and should be allocated in transparent fashion solely on the basis of real needs and independently of all political considerations; stresses in particular that delivery of food aid must try by all means to avoid any harmful effect on local markets or future dependence and should contribute to long-term food security; supports international efforts to reform the Food Aid Convention to ensure respect for these principles; |

| --- | --- |

—

the principle of independence, meaning the autonomy of humanitarian objectives from the political, economic, military or other objectives that any actor may hold with regard to areas where humanitarian action is being implemented;

—

effectiveness, meaning that there is a clear measurability of output against which democratic accountability can be properly directed; and

considers that, in view of its political weight and influence as the largest international donor, the EU should consistently promote these principles in order to ensure access to crisis-affected populations and respect for humanitarian space;

| 9. | Welcomes the Commission's initiative to launch a Good Humanitarian Partnership, enhancing global humanitarian reform by bringing together donors, implementing partners and beneficiaries in a joint platform and the adoption by the EU in 2005 of operational guidelines on the promotion of respect for IHL; wishes to see the EU play a leading role in monitoring the defence, promotion, dissemination and enforcement of respect for IHL, including by non-State actors, in order to preserve the humanitarian space; wishes to see all the Member States which have not yet done so subscribe without reservation to the abovementioned Principles and Good Practice of Humanitarian Donorship (GHD); stresses the need for these principles to be translated into practice and for their observance to be assessed on a regular (biennial) basis by the EU institutions and Parliament's standing rapporteur on humanitarian aid; |

| 10. | Considers that more attention should be paid to the safety and protection of aid workers, who regularly have to venture into dangerous areas; deplores the fact that they are far too frequently the victims of senseless violence, imprisonment or hostage-taking; roundly condemns any action taken against aid workers; |

| 11. | Notes the recognition of the concept of the ‘responsibility to protect’ in the abovementioned UN Resolution 60/1 in response to the increase in violations of IHL and human rights and to the powerlessness or unwillingness of governments to protect their own citizens; recalls that humanitarian aid is one of the ways in which the international community can contribute to the protection of threatened peoples and stresses the EU's concern not to remain inactive in the face of such violations; calls for a thorough political debate in the Member States and EU institutions on the right, or indeed the duty, of intervention in cases of serious violation of IHL and/or human rights, taking also into account the conclusions and recommendationsof the abovementioned Report of December 2001 by the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty on ‘The responsibility to protect’; |

| 12. | Believes that the EU should develop initiatives to make the concept of ‘responsibility to protect’ a reality, while giving precedence to preventive action, civilian means and support for third-country governments in fulfilling their obligations to protect their populations; stresses that coercive measures, including military intervention, may only be used as a last resort and strictly in accordance with international law; in particular, reiterates that, when considering the use of force, the Security Council should always take into account the five criteria of legitimacy proposed by the abovementioned report of 21 March 2005 by the UN Secretary-General and supported by Parliament: seriousness of threat, proper purpose, last resort, proportional means and a reasonable chance of success; agrees that the principles relating to the use of force and its authorisation should be laid down in a resolution of the Security Council; |

Part II:   Translating Principles into Practice: a common framework for EU Humanitarian Aid

(a)   EU coordination, coherence and complementarity

| 13. | Considers that the Consensus should enshrine the principles of coordination, policy coherence, complementarity and harmonisation of procedures among the Member States, as already stated in the abovementioned European Consensus on Development, and that the Community should make full use of Article 10 of the abovementioned Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/96 and exploit the capabilities of DG ECHO in its federating role; stresses, nevertheless, that EU coordination mechanisms must reinforce the international coordination efforts of the United Nations, particularly those of OCHA rather than duplicate them, and include national and local authorities; calls on the EU to establish an EU humanitarian aid donors' atlas, similar to the exercise undertaken for EU development aid; |

| 14. | Welcomes the recognition in the Presidency conclusions of the European Council held in Brussels on 21 and 22 June 2007 of the need for humanitarian aid policy to be fully recognised as an EU policy in its own right, and considers therefore that the Community and the Member States should foster strategic policy discussion of humanitarian action in an adequate Council forum through the creation of a specific Council Working Group (e.g. a COHUMA, i.e. a Council Working Group on Humanitarian Aid), which will allow cohesive methods ensuring swift and consistent action to be drawn up; |

(b)   Providing adequate and effective aid

| 15. | Considers that the Consensus should include a strong commitment by the EU to adequate provision of humanitarian aid as well as to adequate predictability and flexibility in funding, through adequate annual up-front budgetary provisions; stresses that the EU should prioritise those humanitarian crises which are underfunded, neglected or forgotten and that innovative mechanisms should be explored to better quantify the gap between needs and existing funds and to ensure that global humanitarian needs are met; |

| 16. | Considers that the EU should clearly position itself in the global humanitarian reform process, and in particular to support the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) as a useful supplement to a range of available financing instruments, where this represents additional financing that does not displace support to other humanitarian operations and partners, to welcome the ‘clusters approach’ and to promote the inclusiveness of a broad range of humanitarian actors; |

Welcomes the Commission's proposal to establish an EU common framework for the assessment of needs and sharing of expert analysis; recalls that the EU should give preference to local and regional sourcing whenever possible;

| 18. | Emphasises that in emergency situations, and especially in the case of emergencies caused by natural disasters, the first forty-eight hours are crucial in order to save lives, and that the international community has demonstrated that its immediate response is not efficient enough; considers that the EU should meet this challenge, on the one hand, by strengthening local prevention, preparedness and response capacity and, on the other, by improving coordination, early warning mechanisms and adequate pre-positioning of material and stocks at international level; calls on the EU to support and complement international efforts led by OCHA and the UN to strengthen rapid response capabilities, including instant access to funding as well as stand-by teams for emergency operations; |

(c)   Diversity and quality in partnership

| 21. | Welcomes the Commission's proposals to underline the EU's support for a plurality of implementing partners, in particular NGOs, the UN and the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and supports its proposed criteria for partner selection; calls on the Commission to help implementing agencies from the new Member States (the EU-12, i.e., the ten new Member States, which acceded to the EU in 2004, and Bulgaria and Romania, which acceded to the EU in 2007) become fully integrated into humanitarian aid activities; considers that the Consensus should recognise and further define the different roles, mandates and comparative advantages of the various humanitarian actors, in order to avoid a conflict of mandates and competition for resources among them, and that the EU should support capacity-building within the humanitarian community, with particular attention to local and regional capacity; believes that special attention should be given to the role of NGOs, the National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and civil society actors, both from the South and the North, not only in the delivery of aid, but also in developing policies that reflect the real needs and concerns of local partners in the South and in gaining the support of European citizens; |

Welcomes the Commission's proposals to underline the EU's support for a plurality of implementing partners, in particular NGOs, the UN and the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and supports its proposed criteria for partner selection; calls on the Commission to help implementing agencies from the new Member States (the EU-12, i.e., the ten new Member States, which acceded to the EU in 2004, and Bulgaria and Romania, which acceded to the EU in 2007) become fully integrated into humanitarian aid activities; considers that the Consensus should recognise and further define the different roles, mandates and comparative advantages of the various humanitarian actors, in order to avoid a conflict of mandates and competition for resources among them, and that the EU should support capacity-building within the humanitarian community, with particular attention to local and regional capacity; believes that special attention should be given to the role of NGOs, the National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and civil society actors, both from the South and the North, not only in the delivery of aid, but also in developing policies that reflect the real needs and concerns of local partners in the South and in gaining the support of European citizens;

| 22. | Believes that the EU should develop strategies to reach out to non-traditional donors whose funding is often earmarked and/or conditional, with the aim of promoting a model of needs-based aid, the principles of IHL and the concept of partnership; stresses however that these new sources of funding must not result in a reduction in the funds coming from the EU Member States and the Commission; |

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 14 November 2007 with a view to the adoption of Directive 2008/.../EC of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for the protection of soil

(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) | Soil is essentially a non-renewable resource in that the degradation rates can be rapid whereas the formation and regeneration processes are extremely slow. It is a very dynamic system which performs many functions and delivers services vital to human activities and to the survival of ecosystems. These functions are biomass production, storing, filtering and transforming nutrients and water, hosting the biodiversity pool, acting as a platform for most human activities, providing raw materials, acting as a carbon pool and storing the geological and archeological heritage. |

Fertility of the soil is the basis of life. The aim of all agricultural activity must be to maintain and improve that fertility.

| (16) | Sealing is
  increasingly of concern because it can inhibit those soil functions that deliver services vital to human activities and to the survival of ecosystems without contributing to sustainable development in accordance with the Renewed EU Sustainable Development Strategy as adopted by the European Council of 15/16 June 2006. This calls for a more sustainable use of soil.
  Appropriate measures are
  therefore
  needed to limit soil sealing
  arising from development projects which are likely to significantly impede soil functions and which do not contribute to the achievement of sustainable development. Member States should establish incentives for industrial and urban spatial development to occur on sites already used for industrial and urban purposes, and should limit the use of greenfield sites. Member States should also ensure that regulatory frameworks for land use planning are favourable to rehabilitation and should consider establishing fast-track planning authorisation procedures for remediation.
  Where sealing
  is to
  occur
  in such circumstances,
  Member States should
  ensure its effects are mitigated, for example by providing
  for construction and drainage techniques that would allow as many soil functions as possible to be preserved,
  and that it does not cause adverse environmental effects that would outweigh the benefits

Member States shall notify the Commission in accordance with the procedure in Article 18 of the remediation strategy or strategies.

2.   Member States shall ensure that the contaminated sites ▐ in their
  territory
  are remediated
  , in accordance with priorities to be set, or already set, by the Member States themselves
  .

Member States shall also ensure that temporary and urgent safety measures are adopted where there is a serious risk of contamination spreading, threatening both human health and the environment
  .

3.   Remediation shall consist of actions on the soil aimed at the removal, control, containment or reduction of contaminants so that the contaminated site, taking account of its current use and approved future use, no longer poses any significant risk to human health or the environment.

Member States shall encourage the use of best available techniques for remedial action.

4.
     
  Member States shall determine the appropriate measure taking into account, inter alia, the costs and benefits of that measure.

5.
     
  If the means required for remediation are not technically available, or represent a disproportionate cost with respect to expected environmental benefits, sites may be conditioned in such a way that they do not pose any significant risk to the environment or human health, including by restricting access to them or allowing natural recovery. If Member States choose either of these options, they shall monitor the risk to human health and the environment.

6.   Member States shall set up appropriate mechanisms
  at national level (including for instance funds, investment aids, tax exemptions or reductions, tax refunds, or direct price support schemes)
  to fund the remediation,
  or provide for the remediation,
  of
  those
  contaminated
  areas
  for which, subject to the polluter pays principle, the person responsible for the pollution cannot be identified or cannot be held liable under Community or national legislation or may not be made to bear the costs of remediation.
  With a view to fostering remediation, Member States shall guarantee the proper functioning of these mechanisms in order to maintain investor confidence and achieve the aims of this Directive.

Member States shall establish processes for managing cases where liability for funding remediation (or a portion of the remediation) should be transferred from one potentially responsible person to another. Existing financing mechanisms in Member States should be maintained if they have proved effective.

  ‘Recital 3
  (3) In order to ensure that a determination of the equivalence of third country accounting standards is made in all cases that are relevant to Community markets, the Commission should assess the equivalence of third-country accounting standards either upon a request from the competent authority of a Member State or an authority responsible for accounting standards or market supervision of a thirdcountry, or on its own initiative. The Commission should first consult the Committee of the European Securities Regulators (CESR) with regard to the assessment of equivalence of the accounting standards in question. In addition, the Commission should actively monitor ongoing progress in the work by the relevant third-country authorities to eliminate any requirement for Community issuers accessing the financial markets of a third country to reconcile financial statements prepared using IFRS as adopted by the European Union. A decision by the Commission will imply, in all cases, the right for EU issuers to use in any third country, IFRS as endorsed by the European Union.
  Recital 3a
  (3a) Welcomes the steps taken by the Commission to secure US agreement to recognise EU companies reporting under IFRS as equivalent, thereby removing the costly reconciliation requirements that do not apply to US companies in the European Union. Encourages/requests the Commission to secure similar arrangements with other third countries where EU companies list on their exchanges before the end of 2008;

  Article 2


  Equivalence

  The Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of a third country may be considered equivalent to IFRS as adopted by the European Union if the financial statements drawn up in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the third country concerned enable investors to make a similar assessment of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profit and losses and prospects of the issuer as financial statements drawn up in accordance with IFRS, with the result that investors are likely to make the same decisions about the acquisition, retention or disposal of securities of an issuer.

  Article 4


  Conditions for the acceptance of third-country accounting standards for a limited period

  1.   Third-country issuers may be permitted to use financial statements drawn up in accordance with the accounting standards of a third country in order to comply with the obligations under Directive 2004/109/EC and, by derogation from Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 809/2004, to provide historical financial information under that Regulation for a period commencing after 31 December 2008 and expiring no later than 31 December 2011 where:
