| RECITAL 1 |
| (1) The Commission report on the application to the 2004 elections of Council Directive 93/109/EC laying down detailed arrangements for the exercise of the right to vote and stand as a candidate in elections to the European Parliament for citizens of the Union residing in a Member State of which they are not nationals revealed the need to amend certain provisions of the Directive. | (1) The Commission report on the application to the 2004 elections of Council Directive 93/109/EC laying down detailed arrangements for the exercise of the right to vote and stand as a candidate in elections to the European Parliament for citizens of the Union residing in a Member State of which they are not nationals revealed the need to amend certain provisions of the Directive.
  Union citizenship guarantees the same rights for all EU citizens, whether they were born, or live, in the Union itself or in a third country. The Community institutions must therefore be vigilant in ensuring that citizens of the Union resident in a Member State other than their own are able to exercise their rights in the case of elections to the European Parliament. |
| Amendment 2 |
| RECITAL 1A (new) |
| | (1a) The increasing mobility of people across the internal borders of the Union reinforces the need to provide fully portable democratic rights in the case of both European Parliamentary and municipal elections, as well as the need to ensure that citizens do not lose their democratic rights because they live in a Member State other than their own. |
| Amendment 3 |
| RECITAL 2A (new) |
| | (2a) The latter prohibition goes beyond what is necessary to ensure that citizens of the Union are not discriminated against on grounds of nationality when exercising their right to stand as a candidate. Member States should have the discretion to decide whether to allow candidacies in more than one State for the same election, and political parties should be left to decide whether to encourage such multiple candidacies. |
| Amendment 4 |
| RECITAL 2B (new) |
| | (2b) The Act of 20 September 1976 concerning the election of members of the European Parliament by direct universal suffrage (5) provides that, where the primary law is silent, electoral law shall be subject to national provisions; moreover, the primary law expressly prohibits multiple voting but is silent on the issue of multiple candidacy. |
| Amendment 5 |
| RECITAL 3A (new) |
| | (3a) The mandatory recognition, by the Member State of residence, of a disqualification with regard to the right to stand as a candidate is an additional condition for the exercise of that right, which is not covered by either the letter or the spirit of Article 19(2) of the EC Treaty. The Member State of residence should be entitled to establish whether an individual would have been deprived of the right to stand for election under the national law of that State under the same circumstances and in the same manner, and to decide on its own behalf whether to recognise the disqualification applicable in the home State. |
| Amendment 6 |
| RECITAL 3B (new) |
| | (3b) The Council should not go beyond the intention expressed in the primary law provisions, and the ‘detailed arrangements’ prescribed in Directive 93/109/EC under the terms of Article 19(2) of the EC Treaty should be limited to what is strictly necessary in order to give effect to the two intended rights, i.e. the right to vote and to stand for election in a State other than one's own, and should not introduce conditions for the exercise of those rights other than, or in addition to, those provided for in the law of the State of residence. |
| Amendment 7 |

  only in the Member State of residence should be maintained. | (9) The exchange of information should accordingly be abolished but the obligation for the voter to produce a declaration undertaking to exercise his right to vote only in the Member State of residence should be maintained. |
| Amendment 10 |
| RECITAL 10 |
| (10) Moreover,
  as a deterrent to voting or standing as a candidate twice and to exercising the right to vote or stand despite being deprived of these rights,
  Member States of residence should take measures to ensure that
  violations of the obligations
  provided for by the Directive are subject to proper
  penalties
  . | (10) Moreover, Member States of residence should take measures to ensure that
  inaccuracies in formal declarations made by citizens of the Union and
  provided for by the Directive are subject to proper

| Amendment 13 |
| RECITAL 12 |
| (12) A routine check of all the votes
  and of all the candidacies
  would be disproportionate to the problems identified, and there would be problems of feasibility since there are in the Member States no uniform electronic methods of recording and storing data on the actual turnout at the poll
  and on the candidacies deposited

  or double candidacies

| 49. | Points out that combating trafficking in human beings, particularly trafficking in women and children, is an EU priority, making it necessary to allocate adequate financial resources to that activity; |

| 50. | Recalls that it is high time to establish clear and concrete targets, for example that of halving the number of victims of human trafficking over the next ten-year period; considers, nonetheless, that the overriding goal must of course be to eliminate this form of crime entirely as soon as possible; |

| 54. | Expresses deep shock at the sheer organisation of criminal networks responsible for boat crossings from Africa to Europe and at Europe's inability to stop them; boats crossing to Europe are of the same size, usually laden with thirty people, of the same colour, powered by the same engine and supplied with food, drink and other provisions which are of the same make and brand, all factors which amply demonstrate how criminality has so far proved more effective than common European action; is convinced that this cynical network is responsible for the death of hundreds of people whose lives are lost at sea; calls on the Commission and Council to redouble their efforts in the fight against human trafficking; |

The regularisation issue

| 58. | Recalls that numerous Member States have carried out regularisations or said they will do so, and that these decisions are, in the present state of law, a matter for the discretion of the Member States but quite often a signal of lack of appropriate measures in place to deal with a phenomenon which forms a part of societies in most Member States and believes that en masse regularisation of illegal immigrants should be a one-off event since such a measure does not resolve the real underlying problems; |

| 59. | Is aware that changes to immigration policy in a Member State can influence migratory movements and trends in others; believes that, pursuant to the principles of loyal cooperation and mutual solidarity, Member States should operate a mutual information system (for national measures on migration and asylum that are liable to affect other Member States or the Community), and notes that such a system has begun to come into operation in 2007, as evidenced at the most recent JHA Councils, for the exchange of information and experience on best practice; |
