Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 17 January 2006 with a view to the adoption of Regulation (EC) No .../2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on statistics of goods transport by inland waterways

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 285(1) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251of the Treaty (1),

Whereas:

| (1) | Inland waterways are an important part of the Community's transport networks and the promotion of inland waterways transport is one of the objectives of the Common Transport Policy, both for reasons of economic efficiency and in order to reduce energy consumption and the environmental impact of transport, as described in the Commission White Paper: European transport policy for 2010: time to decide. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Inland waterways are an important part of the Community's transport networks and the promotion of inland waterways transport is one of the objectives of the Common Transport Policy, both for reasons of economic efficiency and in order to reduce energy consumption and the environmental impact of transport, as described in the Commission White Paper: European transport policy for 2010: time to decide.

| (2) | The Commission needs statistics concerning the transport of goods by inland waterways in order to monitor and develop the common transport policy, as well as the transport elements of policies on the regions and on trans-European networks. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

The Commission needs statistics concerning the transport of goods by inland waterways in order to monitor and develop the common transport policy, as well as the transport elements of policies on the regions and on trans-European networks.

| (3) | Statistics on inland waterways transport have been collected under Council Directive 80/1119/EEC of 17 November 1980 on statistical returns in respect of carriage of goods by inland waterways (2) which no longer correspond to the present needs in this domain. It is therefore appropriate to replace that Directive with a new instrument which extends its scope and improves its efficiency. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

Statistics on inland waterways transport have been collected under Council Directive 80/1119/EEC of 17 November 1980 on statistical returns in respect of carriage of goods by inland waterways (2) which no longer correspond to the present needs in this domain. It is therefore appropriate to replace that Directive with a new instrument which extends its scope and improves its efficiency.

| (4) | Community statistics on all modes of transport should be collected according to common concepts and standards, with the aim of achieving the fullest practicable comparability between transport modes. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

Community statistics on all modes of transport should be collected according to common concepts and standards, with the aim of achieving the fullest practicable comparability between transport modes.

| (5) | Inland waterways transport does not occur in all Member States and, therefore, the effect of this Regulation is limited to those Member States where this mode of transport exists. |
| --- | --- |

(5)

Inland waterways transport does not occur in all Member States and, therefore, the effect of this Regulation is limited to those Member States where this mode of transport exists.

| (6) | Since the objective of the action to be taken, namely the creation of common statistical standards that permit the production of harmonized data, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective. |

Since the objective of the action to be taken, namely the creation of common statistical standards that permit the production of harmonized data, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.

1.

Notes the fact that the European Council finally found an agreement between Member States which allows for the opening of the negotiations with the European Parliament on the next Financial Perspective;

| 2. | Notes that the conclusions of the European Council focus on traditional policies which are administrated by the Member States rather than putting emphasis on policies enabling the European Union to face new challenges and to develop the European added value for citizens; deplores in this context the unacceptable reduction in commitments in respect of competitiveness, growth and employment, despite the emphasis given by all the EU institutions to the Lisbon strategy, and the cuts in relation to citizenship, freedom, security and justice and external actions; deplores moreover that Member States fight to preserve their national interests rather than foster the European dimension, and were unable to address the major issue of reforming the own resources system; |

For the purposes of this Regulation, the word ‘institution’ in Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 shall be read as ‘Community institution or body’.

Article 4

Collection and dissemination of environmental information

1.   Community institutions and bodies shall organise the environmental information which is relevant to their functions and which is held by them, with a view to its active and systematic dissemination to the public, in particular by means of computer telecommunication and/or electronic technology in accordance with Articles 11(1) and (2) and 12 of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001. They shall make this environmental information progressively available in electronic databases that are easily accessible to the public through public telecommunication networks. To that end, they shall place the environmental information that they hold on databases and equip these with search aids and other forms of software designed to assist the public in locating the information they require.

The information made available by means of computer telecommunication and/or electronic technology need not include information collected before the entry into force of this Regulation unless it is already available in electronic form.
  Where this
  is not the case, it shall be clearly stated where that information can be found and how it can be obtained.

Community institutions and bodies shall make all reasonable efforts to maintain environmental information held by them in forms or formats that are readily reproducible and accessible by computer telecommunications or by other electronic means.

2.   The environmental information to be made available and disseminated shall be updated as appropriate. In addition to the documents listed in Articles 12(2) and (3) and 13(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, the databases or registers shall include the following:

  is up-to-date, accurate and comparable.

2.   Community institutions and bodies shall, upon request, inform the applicant of the place where information on the measurement procedures, including methods of analysis, sampling and pre-treatment of samples, used in compiling the information can be found, if it is available. Alternatively, they may refer them to the standardised procedure that was used.

Article 6

Application of exceptions concerning requests for access to environmental information

1.   
  Community institutions and bodies may deny access to environmental information or decide not to disseminate environmental information only by virtue of one of the exceptions provided for in Article 4 of Directive 2003/4/EC or by virtue of paragraph 2 of this Article
  .

2.   In addition to the exceptions set out in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, Community institutions and bodies may refuse access to environmental information where disclosure of the information would adversely affect the protection of the environment to which the information relates, such as the breeding sites of rare
  species
  .

Article 7

Requests for access to environmental information which is not held by a Community institution or body

Where a Community institution or body receives a request for access to environmental information and where this information is not held by that Community institution or body, it shall, as promptly as possible,
  but at the latest within 15 working days,
  inform the applicant of the Community institution or body or the public authority within the meaning of Directive 2003/4/EC to which it believes it is possible to apply for the information requested or transfer the request to the relevant Community institution or body or the public authority and inform the applicant accordingly.

Article 8

Charges

Community institutions and bodies not covered by Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 may, where Article 10 of that Regulation is not applicable, make a reasonable charge for supplying information. They shall publicise and make available to applicants a schedule of charges which may be levied, indicating the circumstances in which they may be levied or waived and when the supply of information is conditional on the advance payment of such a charge.

Article 9

Cooperation

In the event of an imminent threat to human health
  and life
  or
  to
  the environment, whether caused by human activities or due to natural causes, Community institutions and bodies shall, upon request of public authorities within the meaning of Directive 2003/4/EC, collaborate with and assist those public authorities in order to enable the latter to disseminate immediately and without delay to the public that might be affected all environmental information which could enable it to take measures to prevent or
  minimise
  harm arising from the threat, to the extent that this information is held by or on behalf of Community institutions and bodies and/or those public authorities.

The first subparagraph shall apply without prejudice to any specific obligation laid down by Community legislation, in particular by Decision No 2119/98/EC and by Decision No 1786/2002/EC.

TITLE III

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION CONCERNING
  PLANS, PROGRAMMES AND POLICIES
  RELATING TO THE ENVIRONMENT

Article 10

1.   
  When preparing, modifying or reviewing a plan, programme or policy relating to the environment, Community institutions and bodies shall inform members of the public thereof, whether by public notice or by other appropriate means such as electronic media. That information shall include, where available, the draft proposal and the environmental information or assessment relevant to the plan, programme or policy which is being prepared, modified or reviewed.

2.   
  The Community institution or body preparing, modifying or reviewing the plan, programme or policy relating to the environment shall inform members of the public about the practical arrangements for participation and, in particular, of the administrative entity of the Community institution or body from which the relevant information may be obtained and to which comments or questions may be submitted and of the timetable for transmission of comments
  .

3.   
  Community institutions and bodies shall provide for practical arrangements to enable members of the public to submit comments and opinions at an early stage before any decisions on the plan, programme or policy are made. Depending on the nature of the plan, programme or policy, members of the public shall be given the possibility to comment at the various stages of its preparation, modification or review.

Such practical arrangements shall include reasonable time-frames for the various stages, so that members of the public have sufficient time to be informed and to prepare and participate effectively in the environmental decision-making process. As a rule, where consultations on a plan, programme or policy relating to the environment are conducted in writing, there shall be a time-limit of eight weeks for receiving comments. Where meetings or hearings are organised, prior notice of at least eight weeks shall be given. Time limits may be shortened in urgent cases or where the public has already had the opportunity to comment on the
  plan, programme or policy
  in question.

Article 11

Results of public participation

In taking a decision on the plan, programme or policy relating to the environment, Community institutions and bodies shall take due account of the results of the public participation process.

Community institutions and bodies shall inform the public about that plan, programme or policy, including its text, and of the reasons and considerations upon which the decision is based, including information about the public participation process.

TITLE IV

INTERNAL REVIEW AND ACCESS TO JUSTICE

Article 12

Request for internal review of administrative acts

1.   Any non-governmental organisation which meets the criteria set out in Article 13 is entitled to make a request for internal review to the Community institution or body that has adopted an administrative act under environmental law or, in the case of an alleged administrative omission, should have adopted such an act.

Such a request must be made in writing and within a time limit not exceeding
  eight weeks
  after the administrative act was adopted, notified or published, whichever is the latest, or, in the case of an alleged omission,
  eight weeks
  after the date when the administrative act was required. The request shall state the grounds for the review.

Conclusions

| 63. | Welcomes the Commission's willingness to take measures to promote sustainable development; notes with regret, however, the gap between declared intentions and proposed policies; takes the view that, given the worsening state of the environment, the priorities for revision of the sustainable development strategy must not consist mainly in coordination and knowledge-enhancement measures, but in proposals for clear medium-and long-term measures and objectives, in instruments and in a regular control, monitoring and evaluation system; |

The PPE-DE Group had withdrawn its amendments 47 and 51.

The ALDE Group had withdrawn its amendments 5, 6 and 8/rev.

Charles Tannock (rapporteur) moved the following oral amendments on behalf of the PPE-DE Group:

Oral amendment to amendment 4 (tabled by the ALDE Group on § 43):

Draws attention to the need to pay special attention to the sovereign states of the European continent that are not members of the European Union, specifically Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein as members of the EEA/EFTA and Switzerland as a member of EFTA having its own bilateral agreements with the EU; considers that these close political and economic ties should be the basis for further developments and closer cooperation, as with Andorra, Monaco, San Marino and the Vatican State, all of which as appropriate should be allowed to participate in the new neighbourhood process as well;

Oral amendment to amendment 38 (tabled by the PPE-DE Group on § 5):

Calls on the Commission to define the purpose and clear priorities of the European neighbourhood policy, thus setting criteria for the evaluation of achievements, and welcomes the idea of providing for a European neighbourhood agreement at the end of the ENP process for those countries which are not applying for EU membership but which have come closer to the European Union's body of law; asks the Commission to propose and develop specific policies to extend the ENP where feasible to Atlantic island countries neighbouring EU outermost regions adjacent to the European continent, where special questions of geographical proximity, cultural and historical affinity and mutual security may be relevant;

Oral amendment to § 58 (original text):

Takes the view that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is impeding the development of Armenia and Azerbaijan and regional cooperation as well as the effective implementation of the European neighbourhood policy as such; calls on both parties to refrain from unilateral actions and aggressive statements and to work for settlement of the conflict in a constructive dialogue with all the forces concerned, on the basis of respect for minority rights and on the basis of the principles of international law; emphasises the importance of continuing democratic reforms for the development of the region and its relations with the EU; urges all parties concerned to find ways to permit the gradual return of refugees on the basis of minority rights, in particular with regard to the return of Azerbaijanis to the occupied territories; calls on the member countries of the OSCE Minsk group to coordinate more effectively their action with the EU Special Representative for South Caucasus in order to move forward with negotiations;

Code of conduct

Members' financial interests, standards
  of conduct
  and access to Parliament

1.   Parliament may lay down
  a code of conduct for its Members. The code shall be adopted pursuant to Rule 202(2) and
  attached to these Rules of Procedure as an annex.

1.   Parliament may lay down
  rules governing the transparency of its Members' financial interests, which shall be
  attached to these Rules of Procedure as an annex.

1a.
     
  Members' conduct shall be characterised by mutual respect, be based on the values and principles laid down in the basic texts on which the European Union is founded, respect the dignity of Parliament and not compromise the smooth conduct of parliamentary business or disturb the peace and quiet of any of Parliament's premises.

Failure to comply with these principles may lead to application of the measures provided for in Rules 146, 147 and 148.

1b.
     
  The application of this Rule shall in no way detract from the liveliness of parliamentary debates nor undermine Members' freedom of speech.

It shall be based on full respect for Members' prerogatives, as laid down in primary law and the Statute applicable to them.

It shall be based on the principle of transparency and be so undertaken that the relevant provisions are made clear to Members, who shall be informed individually of their rights and obligations.

The term 'conduct of sittings' includes the matter of the conduct of Members within all of Parliament's premises.

3.   Committees shall normally meet in public. They may decide, however, at the latest when the agenda of a meeting is adopted, to divide the agenda for that meeting into items open to the public and items closed to the public. However, if a meeting is held in camera, the committee may, subject to Article 4(1) to (4) of European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, open documents and minutes from the meeting to public access.

  him
  from the Chamber for the remainder of the sitting.
  He may also resort to the latter measure immediately and without a second call to order in cases of exceptional seriousness.
  The Secretary-General shall

  see to it that
  such
  disciplinary
  measures are

| 7. | Points out that the Charter concerns small businesses and this special purpose is what makes it worthwhile; nevertheless, with due regard for its special purpose, considers that the Charter's actions for small businesses should be incorporated in, and supplemented by, the general policy for SMEs based on binding measures not only at Community level but also within Member States, where sharing of best practice should be specifically encouraged; notes, in particular, that the tenth and final line for action on strengthening the representation of the interests of small enterprises requires a review to be completed of how the interests of small businesses are represented at European Union and national level, including through the social dialogue; stresses that this is a key requirement, given that the current composition of the social partners is primarily reflective of larger businesses and their employees; calls, while noting that the Commission's current implementation report focuses on three other key priority areas of the Charter, for early completion and publication of this review; in the meantime, calls on employers' representatives to represent the interests of small businesses without delay in their role as social partners; |

| 14. | Welcomes the Commission's willingness to improve SMEs' access to EU programmes; stresses that it is important to facilitate their access to structural funds and promote other initiatives to improve access to private capital flows for the benefit of small enterprises, including the creation of microfinancing facilities for flexible forms of women or family-run enterprises, by helping to cofinance projects and providing qualified and financially accessible information, in particular through the Euro Info Centres and the Innovation Relay Centres; |

| 15. | Points out that undertakings in outlying and rural areas are predominantly small in size; stresses therefore the need for increased funding in the form of special measures and investment programmes and extension of the innovation network to encompass outlying small businesses, for which access to innovation is of vital importance; recommends simplified procedures for the creation of regional and local funds of risk capital in cooperation with institutions dealing with technological development and innovation such as technological incubator centres, high-tech centres, technological parks etc.; |

| 16. | Stresses that the purpose of the report is to strengthen the small-enterprise dimension in Community policy by drawing up best practices and streamlining the existing policy instruments; given that small enterprises are recognised as a major motor for creating and increasing employment and innovation in Europe as well as fostering social and regional development; regards it as vital that both the role and the needs of SMEs be generally considered when any legislative proposal is being developed, not just proposals specifically concerning small enterprises; |

| (2a) | Changes to the EU sugar regime will also have a considerable impact on ACP producers, who currently enjoy preferential access to the EU market under the Sugar Protocol. It is essential that these countries, many of whose economies are almost fully dependent on sugar, be given financial support. The latest need assessment put forward by the Commission estimates that ACP countries will require 200 million Euro per annum. This need must be met with new and fresh funding which is additional to existing development funding commitments. |

| (1) | Due to developments within the Community and at international level the sugar industry in the Community is faced with structural problems which could seriously put at stake the competitiveness and even the viability of the industry as a whole. These problems cannot be addressed effectively by using the market management instruments as provided for in the common market organisation (CMO) for sugar.
  To bring the Community system of sugar production and trading in line with international requirements and ensure
  its
  competitiveness in the future it is necessary to launch a
  profound
  restructuring process leading to a
  significant
  reduction of
  unprofitable
  production capacity in the Community. To this end, as a precondition for the implementation of a functioning new common market organisation for sugar a separate and autonomous temporary scheme for the restructuring of the sugar industry in the Community should be established.
  Under this scheme quotas should be reduced in a manner that takes account
  of the legitimate interests of the sugar industry, sugar beet and chicory growers and consumers in the Community. |

Therefore, a share of at least 50 % of the restructuring aid should be granted to sugar beet and chicory growers in order to offset the resulting loss of capital. Furthermore, the allocation of restructuring aid to growers and producers should be conditional on the signing of an agreement within the trade. |

Article 2a

Support measures for employees in sugar farming and the sugar industry

As a consequence of reduced market support in the sugar sector, the restructuring aid also needs to be used to finance support measures for employees in sugar farming as well in the sugar industry. Those measures must be such as to help them to find new opportunities.

1.   Any undertaking producing sugar, isoglucose or inuline syrup to which a quota has been allocated prior to the application of this Regulation shall be entitled to a restructuring aid per tonne of quota renounced, provided that it abandons production during one of the marketing years 2006/2007, 2007/2008, 2008/2009 and 2009/2010.
