5.   Official welcome

On behalf of Parliament, the President welcomed a delegation from the Australian Parliament who had taken their seats in the official gallery.

6.   Disqualification from office of Michel Raymond

The President announced that the Council, by letter of 20 April 2004, had informed Parliament that the modifications referred to in Articles 1 and 2 of the Council Decision of 25 June and 23 September 2002 amending the Act concerning the election of representatives to the European Parliament by direct universal suffrage came into effect on 1 April 2004.

The decree of the French Prime Minister of 25 November 2003 ordering the disqualification from office of Michel Raymond thus became fully effective as of that date.

In accordance with the opinion of the JURI Committee of 17 March 2004, Michel Raymond was therefore no longer a Member of Parliament as of 1 April 2004.

7.   Voting time

Details of voting (amendments, separate and split votes, etc.) appear in Annex I to the Minutes.

Marialiese Flemming spoke.

The following spoke:

| — | Hans-Gert Poettering, on behalf of the PPE-DE Group, considered that the decision taken the previous day by the President not to allow amendments for the vote on the Johanna L.A. Boogerd-Quaak report (A5-0230/2004) (Item 10.1 of the previous day's minutes) was legally untenable and consequently he could not accept the decision. His Group would therefore, by way of protest, not be taking part in the vote on the report. He then referred to the remarks made by Enrique Barón Crespo to the effect that documents had disappeared in the LIBE Committee; he asked that Enrique Barón Crespo explain where he had obtained his information, and in any case that he withdraw what he considered to be offensive remarks concerning Antonio Tajani (the President pointed out that a decision had been taken the previous day by the President and by Parliament concerning voting procedure on that report, and that he intended to abide by that decision); |

| TEXT PROPOSED BY THE COMMISSION | AMENDMENTS BY PARLIAMENT |
| --- | --- |
| Amendment 1 |
| Recital 5a (new) |
| | (5a) In implementing Article 26a of Directive 2001/18/EC (2), Member States should take legislative measures on the coexistence of genetically modified, conventional and organic crops that also allow beekeepers to manufacture honey with a pollution level below the threshold value of 0,9 %. |
| Amendment 2 |
| Recital 5b (new) |
| | (5b) There continues to be an imbalance between supply and demand in the market in honey within the Community and the level of self-sufficiency has fallen still further in the last three years, as a result of which the price of honey in the European Union depends directly on the world price, which is itself very unstable. |
| Amendment 3 |
| Recital 5c (new) |
| | (5c) Honey is a high-quality agricultural product and remains one of the few products listed in Annex I to the Treaty establishing the European Community neither to benefit from a comprehensive regulatory and direct support framework under the CAP nor to enjoy sufficient differentiation in respect of imported honeys. |
| Amendment 4 |
| Recital 5d (new) |
| | (5d) The Member States of the European Union have a substantial beekeeping tradition and some are large producers of honey, which should be taken into account in the implementation of this Regulation, not least in terms of the budget allocated thereto. |
| Amendment 5 |
| Recital 6 |
| (6) In view of the spread of varroasis in several Member States in recent years and the
  problems which
  this disease
  causes for
  honey production, action by the Community is necessary as varroasis cannot be completely eradicated and treatment with approved products is recommended. | (6) In view of the spread of varroasis in several Member States in recent years and the
  effects of
  this disease
  on
  honey production, action by the Community is necessary as varroasis cannot be completely eradicated and treatment with approved products is recommended. |
| Amendment 6 |
| Recital 6a (new) |
| | (6a) Bearing in mind on the one hand the European Parliament's resolution of 9 October 2003 on the difficulties faced by the European beekeeping sector (3), which officially recognises the exceptional decline in the bee population in recent years, and on the other hand Regulation (EC) 1398/2003 (4), which prohibits the import of packets of bees, and the current shortage of biological material production units, measures need to be introduced in support of the restoration and development of the Community's bee population. |
| Amendment 7 |
| Recital 6b (new) |
| | (6b) Quality control checks on honey play a major part in enabling, on the one hand, improvement of the production and marketing of honey and, on the other, prevention of the marketing of honey that fails to meet the European quality criteria principally laid down in Council Directive 2001/110/EC of 20 December 2001 relating to honey (5). These checks make for stabilisation of the market and of prices. |
| Amendment 8 |
| Recital 7 |
| (7) Given these circumstances and in order to improve the production and marketing of apiculture products in the Community, national programmes should be drawn up every three years
  comprising technical assistance, control of varroasis, rationalisation of transhumance, management of the restocking of hives in the Community, and cooperation on research programmes on beekeeping and apiculture products. | (7) Given these circumstances and in order to improve the production and marketing of apiculture products in the Community, national programmes should be drawn up every three years

Council Regulation (EC) No 975/1999 of 29 April 1999
   (4)
  and Council Regulation (EC) No 976/1999 of 29 April 1999 have proved to be adequate legal instruments for the implementation of the Community's technical and financial support for human rights and democratisation activities in developing and other third countries in pursuit of the overall objectives in this field. The period of validity of those Regulations, however, expires on 31 December 2004. It is, therefore, necessary to extend that period. |

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 22 April 2004 with a view to the adoption of European Parliament and Council Decision No .../2004/EC on a single framework for the transparency of qualifications and competences (Europass)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 149 and 150 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

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

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (3),

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (4),

Whereas:

| (1) | An improved transparency of qualifications and competences will facilitate mobility throughout Europe for lifelong learning purposes, therefore contributing to the development of quality education and training, and will facilitate mobility for occupational purposes, between countries as well as across sectors. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

An improved transparency of qualifications and competences will facilitate mobility throughout Europe for lifelong learning purposes, therefore contributing to the development of quality education and training, and will facilitate mobility for occupational purposes, between countries as well as across sectors.

| (2) | The action plan on mobility endorsed by the European Council held in Nice on 7 and 8 December 2000 and Recommendation 2001/613/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 July 2001 on mobility within the Community for students, persons undergoing training, young volunteers, teachers and trainers (5), recommended the generalisation of the use of documents for the transparency of qualifications and competences, with a view to creating a European area of qualifications. The Commission's Action Plan for skills and mobility (COM(2002) 72 final) called for instruments supporting the transparency and transferability of qualifications to be developed and strengthened to facilitate mobility within and between sectors. Further action to introduce instruments improving the transparency of diplomas and qualifications was also demanded by the European Council held in Barcelona on 15 and 16 March 2002. The Council's Resolutions of 3 June 2002 on skills and mobility (6)
  and of27 June 2002 on lifelong learning (7) call for increased cooperation, with a view inter alia to creating a framework for transparency and recognition based on the existing instruments. |

| (3) | The
  Council Resolution of 19 December 2002 on the promotion of enhanced European cooperation in vocational education and training called for action to increase transparency in vocational education and training (8), through the implementation and rationalisation of information tools and networks, including the integration of existing instruments into one single framework. This framework should consist of a portfolio of documents with a common brand name and a common
  logo, supported
  by adequate information systems and promoted through sustained promotional action at European and national level. |

This framework should consist of a portfolio of documents with a common brand name and a common

| (4) | A number of instruments have been developed in recent years, both at Community and at international level, to help European citizens to better communicate their qualifications and competences when looking for a job or for admission to a learning scheme. These include the common European format for curricula vitae (CVs) proposed by Commission Recommendation 2002/236/EC of 11 March 2002 (9), the Diploma Supplement recommended by the Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications concerning Higher Education in the European Region, adopted at Lisbon on 11 April 1997, the Europass Training established by Council Decision 1999/51/EC of 21 December 1998 on the promotion of European pathways in work-linked training, including apprenticeship (10), the Certificate Supplement and the European Language Portfolio developed by the Council of Europe.
  The single framework should include these instruments. |

1.1.

The European Language Portfolio (ELP), developed by the Council of Europe, is a document in which language learners can record their language learning and cultural experiences and competencies.

| 1.2. | The ELP has two functions: pedagogic and reporting.
  As regards the former, it is designed to enhance the motivation of language learners to improve their ability to communicate in different languages and to pursue new learning and intercultural experiences. It seeks to help learners to reflect on their learning objectives, plan their learning and learn autonomously.
  As regards its reporting function, the ELP aims to document its holder's language proficiency in a comprehensive, informative, transparent and reliable way. It helps learners take stock of the levels of competence they have reached in one or several foreign languages and enables them to inform others in a detailed and internationally comparable manner. All competence is valued, regardless of whether it is gained inside or outside of formal education. |

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 157(3) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

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

After consulting the Committee of the Regions,

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

Whereas:

| (1) | On 5 November 1997, the Commission adopted Decision 97/761/EC approving a support mechanism for the creation of transnational joint ventures for SMEs in the Community (3). |
| --- | --- |

(1)

On 5 November 1997, the Commission adopted Decision 97/761/EC approving a support mechanism for the creation of transnational joint ventures for SMEs in the Community (3).

| (2) | The ETF Start-up Facility, the Joint European Venture (JEV) programme and the SME Guarantee Facility were measures provided for in Council Decision 98/347/EC of 19 May 1998 on measures of financial assistance for innovative and job-creating small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) — the growth and employment initiative (4). |

| (3) | The multiannual programme set up by Decision 2000/819/EC (5), aims at improving the financial environment for business, in particular by improving the functioning of the ETF Start-up Facility, amending the SME Guarantee Facility and, with regard to JEV, by using, for the benefit of undertakings planning to enter into a transnational partnership, the commitments effected up until 31 December 2000 under Decision 98/347/EC. |

(4)

The purpose of the ETF Start-up Facility, JEV programme, and SME Guarantee Facility must be to efficiently address market failures in the access for SMEs to risk capital through enhancing participation of both private and public actors, with the aim of reaching distribution rates of 100 %.

| (5) | According to point IV of Annex II to Decision 2000/819/EC, experience has shown that the JEV programme needs to be simplified in order to enable SMEs' requests for financial contributions to be dealt with quickly by the financial intermediaries and Commission departments and to ensure that Community resources are used correctly. It was also stated that the Commission was examining the possibility of adapting the eligibility criteria in order to respond more effectively to the needs of SMEs with regard to cross-border investments, including those in applicant States. |

It was also stated that the Commission was examining the possibility of adapting the eligibility criteria in order to respond more effectively to the needs of SMEs with regard to cross-border investments, including those in applicant States.

| (6) | On 10 October 2002 the European Parliament adopted a resolution on the Report from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council on Growth and Employment Initiative — measures on financial assistance for innovative and job-creating small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs) (6), where it notes that the JEV programme in its current form is no longer appropriate. |

| (7) | The Commission's evaluation of the Growth and Employment Initiative as at 29 May 2002 concludes that the take-up of the JEV programme by the market is low, the job creation effect limited and the administrative cost very high and that JEV should be phased out as soon as possible. |

| (8) | For reasons of cost-efficiency, the Community should withdraw progressively from programmes that involve micro-management of small amounts of money, as is the case with the projects financed under the JEV programme. |

For reasons of cost-efficiency, the Community should withdraw progressively from programmes that involve micro-management of small amounts of money, as is the case with the projects financed under the JEV programme.

| (9) | After careful analysis, it has to be concluded that a substantial simplification of the JEV programme is not possible, since any substantial change to the structure or eligibility criteria of the programme would change its nature and therefore be outside the scope of the legal basis (Decision 98/347/EC). Therefore it would not be possible to use the remaining committed budget nor would it be possible to use the budget for projects involving the then accession countries and the candidate countries. |

| (10) | The budget for the JEV programme was committed on the basis of framework agreements signed with the financial intermediaries in the JEV network, thus creating a direct legal relationship between the Commission and these intermediaries. Therefore a replacement of these existing framework agreements with direct legal agreements between the Commission and SMEs, which, in this particular programme, would have resulted in simplification and improved protection of the financial interests of the Community, is not possible. |

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 22 April 2004 with a view to the adoption of Decision No .../2004/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a multiannual Community programme to make digital content in Europe more accessible, usable and exploitable

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 157(3) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

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

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (3),

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (4),

Whereas:

| (1) | The evolution of the Information Society and the emergence of broadband will influence the life of every citizen in the European Community by, inter alia, stimulating access to knowledge and new ways of acquiring knowledge thus increasing the demand for new content, applications and services. |

The evolution of the Information Society and the emergence of broadband will influence the life of every citizen in the European Community by, inter alia, stimulating access to knowledge and new ways of acquiring knowledge thus increasing the demand for new content, applications and services.

| (2) | Internet penetration in the Community is still growing considerably. The opportunities offered by the Internet should be exploited to bring every individual and organisation in the Community the social and economic benefits of sharing information and knowledge. The stage has now been set in Europe to exploit the untapped potential of digital content. |

Internet penetration in the Community is still growing considerably. The opportunities offered by the Internet should be exploited to bring every individual and organisation in the Community the social and economic benefits of sharing information and knowledge. The stage has now been set in Europe to exploit the untapped potential of digital content.

| (3) | The Presidency Conclusions of the European Council held in Lisbon on 23 and 24 March 2000 stressed that the shift to a digital, knowledge-based economy, prompted by new goods and services, will be a powerful engine for growth, competitiveness and jobs. On that occasion the role of the content industries in creating added value by exploiting and networking European cultural diversity was specifically recognised. |

| (4) | The eEurope 2005 Action Plan (5), developing the Lisbon strategy, calls for actions to stimulate the emergence of secure services, applications and content over broadband network and thus to stimulate a favourable environment for private investment, for the creation of new jobs, to boost productivity, to modernise public services, and to give everyone the opportunity to participate in the global information society. |

ANNEX I

ACTIONS

1.   INTRODUCTION

eContentplus has the overall aim to make digital content in Europe more accessible, usable and exploitable, facilitating the creation and diffusion of information and knowledge — in areas of public interest — at the Union level.

It will create better conditions for accessing and managing digital content and services in multilingual and multicultural environments. It will broaden users' choice and support new ways of interacting with knowledge-enhanced digital content, a feature which is becoming essential to make content more dynamic and tailored to specific contexts (learning, cultural, etc.).

The programme will pave the way for a structured framework for quality digital content in Europe — The European Digital Content Area — by facilitating transfer of experiences, best practice and cross-fertilisation between content sectors, content providers and users.

Three sets of measures are foreseen:

| — | Facilitating

  in areas of public interest
  ,
  its
  use and exploitation |

2.   LINES OF ACTION

2.1 Facilitating
  at Community level
  access to digital content
  in areas of public interest, its
  use and exploitation

The activities encompass the establishment of networks and alliances between stakeholders, encouraging the creation of new services.

Target areas are public sector information, spatial data, learning and cultural content.

Focus will be on:

| — | supporting a wider recognition of the importance of public sector information (PSI), its commercial value and associated societal implications of its use. Activities shall improve effective cross-border use and exploitation of PSI between public sector organisations and private companies for added-value information products and services. |

Activities shall improve effective cross-border use and exploitation of PSI between public sector organisations and private companies for added-value information products and services.

| — | encouraging a wider use of spatial data by public sector bodies, private companies and citizens through co-operation mechanisms at European level. Activities should tackle both technical and organisational issues, avoiding duplications and underdeveloped territorial data sets. They should promote cross-border interoperability, supporting co-ordination between mapping agencies and fostering the emergence of new services at European level for mobile users. They should also support the use of open standards. |

| — | fostering the proliferation of open European knowledge pools of digital objects, for education and research communities, as well as the individual. The activities will support the creation of trans-European brokering services for digital learning content, with associated business models. The activities should also encourage the use of open standards, and the creation of large user groups analysing and testing pre-standardisation and specifications schemas with a view to convey European multilingual and multicultural aspects into the process of definition of global standards for digital learning content. |

| — | promoting the emergence of trans-European information infrastructures for accessing and using high quality European digital cultural and scientific resources through the linking of virtual libraries, community memories, etc. Activities should encompass co-ordinated approaches to digitisation and collection building, preservation of digital objects, inventories of cultural and scientific digital resources. They should improve access to digital cultural and scientific assets through effective licensing schemas and collective pre-emptive clearing of rights. |

2.2 Facilitating
  improvement of
  quality and
  enhancing
  best practice related to digital content
  between content providers and users, and across sectors in the areas of public interest

The activities intend to facilitate the identification and wide diffusion of best practice in methods, processes and operations to achieve higher quality, greater efficiency and effectiveness on the creation, use and distribution of digital content.

They encompass experiments that demonstrate searchability, usability, re-usability, composability and interoperability of digital content within the context of the existing legal framework while meeting from the early stage of the process the requirements of different target groups and markets in an increasingly multilingual and multicultural environment, and to this end extending beyond mere localisation technologies.

They shall exploit the benefits of enhancing digital content with machine-understandable data (semantically well defined metadata based on relevant descriptive terminology, vocabularies and ontologies).

The experiments shall be conducted in thematic clusters. The gathering, dissemination and cross-sector fertilisations of gained knowledge shall be integral part of the experiments.

Target application areas are public sector information, spatial data, digital learning and cultural content, as well as scientific and scholarly digital content.

2.3 Reinforcing cooperation between digital content stakeholders

The activities include measures accompanying relevant legislation relating to digital content, and supporting collaboration between public sector
  actors. They
  will identify and analyse emerging opportunities and problems (e.g. trust, quality marking, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in education), and propose, as appropriate, solutions.

| B. | whereas ‘...“political” pluralism is about the need, in the interests of democracy, for a range of political opinions and viewpoints to be expressed in the media. Democracy would be threatened if any single voice, with the power to propagate a single viewpoint, were to become too dominant, and “cultural” pluralism is about the need for a variety of cultures, reflecting the diversity within society, to find expression in the media. Cultural diversity and social cohesion may be threatened unless the cultures and values of all groupings within society (for example those sharing a particular language, race, or creed) are reflected in the media’ (9), |

Audiovisual (and media) policy

| 3. | Notes that the audiovisual and media sectors are central areas for economic growth and for the realisation of the Lisbon agenda, but that concentration of ownership — often of a cross-border nature — and restrictions on market access limit the potential of European industry and that therefore the protection of media pluralism is essential for the harmonious development of the audiovisual and media sectors, although smaller and specific markets may not have the economic basis for supporting more than one player; |

| 7. | Notes that digital media will not automatically guarantee greater choice, because the same media companies that already dominate the national and global media markets also control the dominant content portals on the Internet, and since the promotion of digital and technical literacy are strategic issues for the development of lasting media pluralism, and expresses concern about the switching off of the analogue frequencies in some parts of the Union; |

  The general guidelines 2003-2005 remain valid but must be focused even more on boosting economic growth resulting in job creation and productivity growth. In view of the prolonged phase of economic slowdown and the disappointing growth rates and speed of recovery as compared to other regions in the world, Europe must strengthen internal economic growth and increase the focus on strengthening economic, social and environmental sustainability. This will not only help to reduce Europe's vulnerability to the negative impacts of the appreciation of the Euro and other external shocks and risks such as international terrorism but also facilitate the integration of the internal market and the real economic convergence of all Members States, including the 10 new Member States in the internal market.
  The
  second

| Overall, economic developments are in line with the prevailing expectations when adopting the medium-term economic policy strategy: the economy is recovering, albeit at a moderate pace, and the outlook for 2004-2005 does not point to any macroeconomic imbalances requiring a policy change. At the same time, the forecast illustrates the still slow adjustment capacity of the EU economy and the low level of potential growth. It is therefore essential that the improving economic conditions should be fully seized upon to make decisive progress in closing the ‘delivery gap’ in terms of discrepancy between envisaged and eventually adopted structural reform measures. The current pick-up in economic activity could be further underpinned by sound macroeconomic policies and by determined implementation of all the growth-enhancing economic reforms outlined at the 2003-2005 BEPGs. | Overall, economic developments are in line with the prevailing expectations when adopting the medium-term economic policy strategy: the economy is recovering, albeit at a moderate pace, and the outlook for 2004-2005 does not point to any macroeconomic imbalances requiring a policy change.

  More emphasis should however be put on investment in education, skills, lifelong learning, innovation, research and development, and in an industrial policy with a special focus on SMEs, renewable energy and environmentally friendly technology.




  The Environmental Technology Action Plan should be speedily implemented.




  Furthermore, with the enlargement, social and regional cohesion are now even more central to the Lisbon Agenda. Strategies that have a decisive impact on real economic convergence, the reduction of the informal sector, social exclusion and the eradication of poverty must be reinforced.




  Investments aimed at enhancing growth could also be financed by an improvement in the collection of public revenues, focusing on the widespread problem of tax fraud, which deprives Member Sates of considerable fiscal resources. The Commission should work with Member States to establish a co-operation and benchmarking system to combat tax fraud and unfair tax competition;




  Negotiations on appropriate and equitable measures leading to an increase in the adaptability of workers, flexibility in standard contracts and more security in non-standard contracts, attracting more people to and keeping more people in employment, increasing the overall flexibility of the labour market and increasing investments in human resources are keys to achieving economic and social success. |

| The new Member States will need to seek a strong synergy between the necessary structural reforms and macroeconomic policies that underpin stability. Exchange rate regimes constitute an important part of the overall economic- and monetary policy framework and should be oriented towards achieving real- and sustainable nominal convergence. Participation in ERM II, at some stage after accession, should help those endeavours. A credible monetary policy will allow for a further decline in long-term interest rates that is conducive to both the much needed high level of investment and fiscal consolidation. | The new Member States will need to seek a strong synergy between the necessary structural reforms,
