3.   Approval of Minutes of previous sitting

The Minutes of the previous sitting were approved.

4.   Tribute

On behalf of Parliament, the President paid tribute to the memory of Filip Adwent, who had been killed in a car accident along with several members of his family on 26 June 2005. The President pointed out that he had passed on Parliament's condolences to Mr Adwent's widow.

Parliament observed a minute's silence.

5.   Statement by the President

The President made a statement on the fight against poverty and the G8 Summit in Edinburgh. He pointed out that a large white banner would be hung in the Chamber throughout the July part-session to show Parliament's support for the global call to action against poverty. He invited Members to sign the banner as a sign of solidarity.

6.   Membership of Parliament

Following the death of Filip Adwent, Parliament established a vacancy with effect from 27.06.2005 and informed the Member State concerned thereof.

On 30.06.2005 the German authorities had given notice of Armin Laschet's appointment as a minister in the Landtag of North Rhine-Westfalia.

Since, pursuant to Rule 4(4) of its Rules of Procedure and Article 7(1) of the Act concerning the election of representatives of the European Parliament by direct universal suffrage, this office was incompatible with that of Member of the European Parliament, Parliament established that the vacancy would take effect from 30.06.2005 and informed the Member State concerned thereof.

7.   Membership of committees

At the request of the PPE-DE Group, Parliament ratified the following appointment:

INTA Committee:

8.   Interpretation of the Rules of Procedure

Pursuant to Rule 201(3), the President informed Parliament of the following interpretation of Rule 162(2), provided by the Committee on Constitutional Affairs, which had been consulted on the application of that provision:

‘When a request for a secret ballot is submitted before voting begins by at least one-fifth of the component Members of Parliament, Parliament must hold such a vote’.

If there were no objections to that interpretation from a political group or at least 37 Members (Rule 201 (4)) before the approval of that day's Minutes, it would be deemed adopted. If objections were raised, the interpretation would be put to the vote in Parliament.

9.   Signature of acts adopted under codecision

Position of the European Parliament adopted at second reading on 5 July 2005 with a view to the adoption of Directive 2005/.../EC of the European Parliament and of the Council amending for the 22nd time Council Directive 76/769/EEC on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (phthalates in toys and childcare articles)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,

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

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

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (3),

Whereas:

| (1) | Article 14 of the Treaty establishes an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Article 14 of the Treaty establishes an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured.

| (2) | Work on the internal market should improve the quality of life, health protection and consumer safety. This Directive complies with the requirements of ensuring a high level of health protection and of consumer protection in the definition and implementation of all Community policies and activities. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Work on the internal market should improve the quality of life, health protection and consumer safety. This Directive complies with the requirements of ensuring a high level of health protection and of consumer protection in the definition and implementation of all Community policies and activities.

| (3) | The use of certain phthalates in toys and childcare articles made of plasticised material or including parts made of plasticised material should be prohibited as the presence of certain phthalates presents or could potentially present risks related to the health of children.
  Toys and childcare articles which, although not intended for that purpose, can be put in the mouth, may under certain circumstances present a risk to the health of small children if they are made of plasticised material, or include parts made of plasticised material, which contains certain phthalates. |

(4)

The Scientific Committee on Toxicity, Ecotoxicity and the Environment (SCTEE), after being consulted by the Commission, has delivered opinions on the health risks raised by these phthalates.

| (5) | Commission Recommendation 98/485/EC of 1 July 1998 on childcare articles and toys intended to be placed in the mouth by children of less than three years of age, made of soft PVC containing certain phthalates (4), invited Member States to take measures to ensure a high level of child health protection with regard to these products. |

Commission Recommendation 98/485/EC of 1 July 1998 on childcare articles and toys intended to be placed in the mouth by children of less than three years of age, made of soft PVC containing certain phthalates (4), invited Member States to take measures to ensure a high level of child health protection with regard to these products.

| (6) | Since 1999, the use of six phthalates in toys and childcare articles intended to be placed in the mouth by children under the age of three is subject to a temporary ban at European Union level following the adoption of Commission Decision 1999/815/EC (5) in the framework of Council Directive 92/59/EEC of 29 June 1992 on general product safety (6). This Decision is being renewed regularly. |

This Decision is being renewed regularly.

| (7) | Limitations already adopted by certain Member States on the placing on the market of toys and childcare articles because of their phthalate content directly affect the completion and functioning of the internal market. It is therefore necessary to approximate the laws of the Member States in this field and consequently to amend Annex I to Directive 76/769/EEC (7). |

(8)

The precautionary principle should be applied where scientific evaluation does not allow the risk to be determined with sufficient certainty in order to ensure a high level of protection of health, in particular for children.

| (9) | Children as developing organisms are particularly vulnerable to reprotoxic substances. Therefore, the exposure of children to all practically avoidable sources of emissions of these substances, especially from articles which are put into the mouth by children, should be reduced as far as possible. |

Children as developing organisms are particularly vulnerable to reprotoxic substances. Therefore, the exposure of children to all practically avoidable sources of emissions of these substances, especially from articles which are put into the mouth by children, should be reduced as far as possible.

| (10) | During risk assessments and/or within the framework of Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (8), DEHP, DBP and BBP have been identified as reprotoxic substances and have therefore been classified as reprotoxic, category 2. |

(11)

Scientific information regarding DINP, DIDP and DNOP is either lacking or conflictual, but it can not be excluded that they pose a potential risk if used in toys and childcare articles, which are by definition produced for children.

| (12) | The uncertainties in the evaluation of exposure to these phthalates, such as mouthing times and exposure to emissions from other sources, require that precautionary considerations be taken into account. Therefore, restrictions on the use of these phthalates for toys and childcare articles and on the placing on the market of such articles should be introduced. However, the restrictions for DINP, DIDP and DNOP should be less severe than the ones proposed for DEHP, DBP and BBP for reasons of proportionality. |

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 5 July 2005 with a view to the adoption of Directive 2005/.../EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning measures to safeguard security of electricity supply and infrastructure investment

(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 95 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) | Directive 2003/54/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2003 concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity
   (3)
  has made a very important contribution towards the creation of the internal market for electricity. The guarantee of a high level of security of supply is a key objective for the successful operation of the internal market and that directive gives the Member States the possibility of imposing public service obligations on electricity undertakings, inter alia, in relation to security of supply. Those public service obligations should be defined as precisely and strictly as possible, and should not result in the creation of generation capacity that goes beyond what is necessary to prevent undue interruption of distribution of electricity to final customers. |

Demand for electricity is usually forecast over a medium-term period on the basis of scenarios elaborated by transmission system operators or by other organisations capable of constructing them at the request of a Member State.

| (3) | A competitive single EU electricity market necessitates transparent and non-discriminatory policies on security of electricity supply compatible with the requirements of such a market. The absence of such policies in individual Member States, or significant differences between the policies of the Member States would lead to distortions of competition. The definition of clear roles and responsibilities
  of the competent authorities, as well as of Member States themselves and all relevant
  market actors, is therefore crucial in safeguarding
  security of electricity supply and the proper functioning of the internal market
  while at the same time avoiding creating obstacles to
  market entrants, such as companies generating or supplying electricity in a Member State that have recently started their operations in that Member State, and avoiding creating
  distortions of the internal market for electricity or significant difficulties for
  market actors, including companies with small market shares, such as generators or suppliers with a very small share in the relevant Community market. |

Miscellaneous

The rapporteur moved the following oral amendment to amendment 27 (§ 36):

36. Strongly supports all the incentives that are given for the mobilisation of private capital and the promotion of public private partnerships in the new programming period (articles 50(d) and 54); considers that the calculation of the Community co-financing rate as a percentage of only the declared public expenditure constitutes an important simplifying proposal of this regulation and better ensures the application of the principle of additionality,
  disregarding whether public expenditure of the co-financing rate of the Member State could be partly replaced by private capital within the programme;
  calls, at the same time, for the maintenance of the flexibility provided by the calculation of the co-financing rate for each priority and not for each measure (articles 51 and 76); stresses, however, that the calculation of the cofinancing rate should not be such as to prejudice the participation of NGOs and other not-for-profit organisations in Structural Fund activities;

The rapporteur moved an oral amendment to amendment 39 which replaced ‘ERDF’ with ‘funds’.

6.   Cohesion Fund

(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,

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions,

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

Whereas:

| (1) | The sixth Community Environment Action Programme adopted by Decision No 1600/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 July 2002
   (2) requires supporting the provision of accessible information to citizens on the state on trends of the environment in relation to social, economic and health trends as well as the general raising of environmental awareness. |

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 6 July 2005 with a view to the adoption of Regulation (EC) No .../2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European Regional Development Fund

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 162 and the second subparagraph of Article 299(2) 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 (1),

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

Whereas:

| (1) | Article 160 of the Treaty provides that the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is intended to help redress the main regional imbalances in the Community. The ERDF therefore contributes to reducing the gap between the levels of development of the various regions and the extent to which the less-favoured
  regions, including
  rural
  and urban
  areas
  , areas affected by industrial transition and regions affected by serious and permanent natural or demographic disadvantages, areas with a low population density, border and mountain areas and islands,
  are lagging behind. |

  are lagging behind.

| (2) | The provisions common to the Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund are set out in Regulation (EC) No .../2005
   (1)
  [laying down general provisions for the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, and the Cohesion Fund]. Specific provisions concerning the type of activities which may be financed by the ERDF under the objectives defined in that Regulation need to be laid down. |

  all the relevant
  territorial, socio-economic and environmental partners
  , and in particular
  interregional,
  regional and local authorities,
  at all the programming stages: preparation, implementation, follow-up and evaluation. Where necessary, cooperation between regional and local authorities will be stepped up in order to fulfil common objectives. |

  the
  diversification of
  areas dependent on fisheries away from traditional activities
  , and the creation of sustainable jobs, and help such regions to become economically and socially more attractive
  . |

Convergence

Under the ‘convergence’ objective, the ERDF shall focus its assistance on supporting sustainable integrated regional, local,
  urban and rural
  economic
  and social
  development by mobilising and strengthening endogenous capacity through programmes aimed at the modernisation and diversification of regional
  and local
  economic,
  administrative and social
  structures,
  and the creation of sustainable jobs
  , primarily in the following areas:

(1) Territorial innovation, not least to enhance the potential of regionally and locally based institutional, social and economic players and modernise general government bodies, development agencies and financial institutions;

(2) Research and technological development (R&TD), innovation and entrepreneurship, including the strengthening of regional research and technological development capacities,
  and their integration into the European research area
  ,
  with a view to reducing the technology gap between regions.

Aid to R&TD in SMEs and to technology transfer. Improvement of links
  in particular
  between SMEs and universities,
  NGOs
  and research and technology centres

  aid to SMEs to promote sustainable production patterns through the introduction of costeffective environmental management systems and the adoption and use of pollution-prevention technologies;

(7) Conversion, including investigation of contaminated waste dumps, rehabilitation of areas previously in military use and their return to civilian use, return to nature or aforestation, removal of warfare agents, reconstruction and modernisation of barrack buildings and sites for economic, social and cultural regeneration, including the relevant catchment area, and in this connection support for SMEs in particular;

(8) Risk prevention, including development and implementation of plans to prevent and cope with natural and technological risks;

(9) Tourism
  and culture
  , including promotion of natural and cultural assets as potential for the development of sustainable tourism; protection and enhancement of the
  physical and
  cultural heritage in support of economic development; aid to improve the supply of tourism services through new higher valueadded services
  and facilitate the changeover to new, more sustainable patterns of tourism;

(10) Economic and social regeneration of crisis-hit towns, cities and peripheral urban areas: comprehensive plans for sustainable development of crisis-hit urban areas, medium-sized and small towns functioning as centres and peripheral urban areas, revival of the town-hinterland relationship with regard to services of general economic interest;

(13) Education investments,
  in vocational training and lifelong learning, particularly of young people and women,
  which contribute to increasing the attractiveness and quality of regional life, to rehabilitating production systems and to supporting the enhancement of skills and the promotion of lifelong learning, even through the application of new technologies;

(14) Health, including investment to develop and improve health provision
  , disease prevention and easier access to medical services,
  which contribute to regional development and quality of life;

(15) Direct aid to investment in SMEs contributing to creating and safeguarding jobs;

(16) Public security to facilitate the operation of territorial economic activities, to be achieved through investment in technologies and in information and awareness campaigns to prevent criminal infiltration of the economy and disseminate a culture of legality;

HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Nature of the
  EGTC

1.   A cooperative grouping can be established on community territory in the form of a European grouping of

  territorial
  co-operation
  (cross-border, transnational and inter-regional) between regional

  in the EU
  with the aim of
  strengthening
  economic, social and territorial cohesion.

With the same aim, it can equally have the objective of facilitating and promoting trans-national and interregional co-operation.

4.
     
  The competent authority of the Member State whose law is applicable shall have a right of supervision over the EGTC's management of public funds, both national and Community.

The competent authority of the Member State whose law is applicable shall inform the other Member States affected by the convention of European grouping of territorial co-operation, hereafter referred to as‘convention’, of the results of any checks carried out.

5.
     
  Where border regions have experienced prolonged periods of civil or military conflict, the EGTC may also have the objective of promoting reconciliation and assisting with peace-building programmes.

Article 2

Composition

1.   The
  EGTC may be made up of Member States
  and/or local
  public bodies,

  EGTC may be given the task either of implementing
  territorial
  co-operation programmes cofinanced by the Community, notably through the Structural Funds, or of carrying out any other action of territorial co-operation with or without Community financial intervention.

The formation of an EGTC shall not affect the financial responsibility of its members or of the Member States, neither for community funds nor for national funds.

4.
     
  No financial liability shall fall on Member States that are not members of the EGTC, even though their regional, local or public bodies are participating as members. This, however, is without prejudice to the financial responsibility of Member States in relation to Community funds operated by the EGTC.

  and combating social exclusion. The ESF may also support measures that go beyond a Member State's national employment plan if they are necessary owing to regional and local particularities and if, as a result, the Lisbon employment objectives, social inclusion and social cohesion can be better achieved.

2.   Within operational programmes, resources shall be directed towards the most important needs and focus on those policy areas to which ESF support can bring about a significant effect in view of the attainment of the objectives of the programme. To maximise the efficiency of ESF support, operational programmes shall take particular account of the regions and localities facing most serious problems, including deprived urban
  areas,
  declining rural and fisheries dependent areas
  , islands, mountainous and remote regions, regions with a low population density or a demographic handicap and those particularly adversely affected by business relocations
  .

The quantified objectives and indicators selected to monitor the implementation of the national strategic frame of reference defined in Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No .../2005 [laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund and the Cohesion Fund], shall be those used in the implementation of the European Employment Strategy and in the context of the agreed objectives of the Community in the fields of social inclusion,
  non-discrimination,
  education and training
  and equality between women and men
  . The monitoring indicators for operational programmes should be coherent with those quantified objectives.

5.   Evaluations undertaken in relation to the action of the ESF shall also assess the contribution of the action supported by the ESF to the implementation of the European Employment Strategy and to the objectives of the Community in the fields of social inclusion,
  non-discrimination, the promotion of equality between women and men
  and education and training in the Member State concerned.

5.   The managing authority of each operational programme shall encourage adequate participation and
  ensure simple and rapid
  access
  by the
  non-governmental organisations
  concerned
  to the funded activities, notably in the
  domains
  of social inclusion
  , in particular of disadvantaged groups such as people with disabilities, non-discrimination
  and equality
  of opportunity
  between women and men.

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 6 July 2005 with a view to the adoption of Directive 2005/.../EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the implementation of the principle of equal opportunities and equal treatment of men and women in matters of employment and occupation (recast)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 141(3) 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 (1),

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

Whereas:

| (1) | Council Directive 76/207/EEC of 9 February 1976 on the implementation of the principle of equal treatment for men and women as regards access to employment, vocational training and promotion, and working conditions (3), and Council Directive 86/378/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the implementation of the principle of equal treatment for men and women in occupational social security schemes (4) have been substantially amended. Council Directive 75/117/EEC of 10 February 1975 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the application of the principle of equal pay for men and women (5) and Council Directive 97/80/EC of 15 December 1997 on the burden of proof in cases of discrimination based on sex (6) also contain provisions which have as their purpose the implementation of the principle of equal treatment between men and women. Since further amendments are to be made to these Directives, they
  are
  recast in the interests of clarity and in order to bring together in a single text the main provisions existing in this field as well as certain developments arising out of the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Communities. |

| (2) | Equality
  between men and women is a fundamental principle of Community law which, according to Article 2 and 3(2) of the Treaty
  and the case-law of the Court of Justice,
  the Community must promote in all its activities
  . Those Treaty provisions proclaim equality between men and women as a ‘task’ and an ‘aim’ of the Community and impose on it a positive obligation to promote it
  in all its activities.
  Equal treatment includes equality for those undergoing gender reassignment. |

| (3) | Council Directive 2004/113/EC of 13 December 2004 implementing the principle of equal treatment for women and men in access to and supply of goods and services (7), is an important tool for the purposes of taking account of data in order to give effect to the principle of equal treatment. |

For reasons of coherence, it is necessary to provide a single definition of direct and indirect discrimination.

| (7) | Harassment and
  sexual harassment are contrary to the principle of equal treatment between men and women
  and constitute
  discrimination on grounds of sex for the purposes of this Directive. These forms of discrimination occur not only in the workplace, but also in the context of access to employment and vocational training
  and promotion at work. These forms of discrimination should therefore be prohibited and should be subject to dissuasive and proportionate sanctions before the courts. |

| (8) | In this context, employers and those responsible for vocational training should be encouraged to take measures to combat all forms of discrimination on grounds of sex,

  and, in particular, to take preventive measures against harassment and sexual harassment in the workplace
  and in access to employment and vocational training and promotion at work,

| (9) | The principle of equal pay for equal work or work of equal value as
  firmly established
  by Article 141 of the Treaty
  and developed by the settled case-law of the Court of Justice
  constitutes an important aspect of the principle of equal treatment between men and women
  and is an essential and indispensable part of the ‘acquis communautaire’ concerning discrimination on grounds of sex

| (10) | In accordance with the settled case-law of the Court of Justice, in order to assess whether workers are performing the same work or work of equal value, it should be determined whether, having regard to a range of factors including the nature of the work and training and working conditions, those workers may be considered to be in a comparable situation. |

In its judgment in Case C-262/88: Barber v Guardian Royal Exchange Assurance Group (8) the Court of Justice determined that all forms of occupational pension constitute an element of pay within the meaning of Article 141 of the Treaty.

| (15) | Although the concept of pay within the meaning of Article 141 of the Treaty does not encompass social security benefits, it is now clearly established that a pension scheme for public servants falls within the scope of the principle of equal pay if the benefits payable under the scheme are paid to the worker by reason of his employment relationship with the public employer, notwithstanding the fact that such scheme forms part of a general statutory scheme. According to the judgments of the Court of Justice in Case C-7/93: Bestuur van het Algemeen Burgerlijk Pensioenfonds v G. A. Beune (9) and Case C-351/00: Pirkko Niemi (10), this condition will be satisfied if the pension scheme concerns a particular category of workers and its benefits are directly related to the period of service and calculated by reference to the public servant's final salary. For reasons of clarity, it is therefore appropriate to make specific provision to this effect. |

For reasons of clarity, it is therefore appropriate to make specific provision to this effect.

| (16) | The Court of Justice has confirmed that whilst the contributions of male and female workers to a defined-benefit pension scheme are covered by Article 141 of the Treaty, any inequality in employers' contributions paid under funded defined-benefit schemes which is due to the use of actuarial factors differing according to sex is not to be assessed in the light of that same provision. |

| (17) | In the case of defined-benefit schemes funded by capital accumulation, unequal levels of benefit may be set in certain circumstances such as conversion into a capital sum of part of a periodic pension, transfer of pension rights, a reversionary pension payable to a dependant in return for the surrender of part of a pension, or a reduced pension where the worker opts to take early retirement, where the unequal nature of the payments is attributable to actuarial calculation factors which differ according to sex. |

All information communicated by the Member States to the Commission in accordance with Article 33 should include accurate data relevant to the use of sex as a determining actuarial factor which should be compiled, published and regularly updated.

| (20) | It is well-established that benefits payable under occupational social security schemes are not to be considered as remuneration insofar as they are attributable to periods of employment prior to 17 May 1990, except in the case of workers or those claiming under them who initiated legal proceedings or brought an equivalent claim under the applicable national law before that date. It is therefore necessary to limit the implementation of the principle of equal treatment accordingly. |

It is therefore necessary to limit the implementation of the principle of equal treatment accordingly.

| (21) | The Court of Justice has consistently held that Protocol No 17 concerning Article 141 of the Treaty establishing the European Communities (1992) does not affect the right to join an occupational pension scheme and that the limitation of the effects in time of the judgment of the Court of Justice in Case C-262/88 Barber v Guardian Royal Exchange Assurance Group does not apply to the right to join an occupational pension scheme. The Court has also ruled that the national rules relating to time-limits for bringing actions under national law may be relied on against workers who assert their right to join an occupational pension scheme, provided that they are not less favourable for that type of action than for similar actions of a domestic nature and that they do not render the exercise of rights conferred by Community law impossible in practice. The Court has also pointed out that the fact that a worker can claim retroactively to join an occupational pension scheme does not allow the worker to avoid paying the contributions relating to the period of membership concerned. |

Article 13

Retroactive effect

1.   Any measure implementing this Chapter, as regards employed workers, shall cover all benefits under occupational social security schemes derived from periods of employment subsequent to 17 May 1990 and shall apply retroactively to that date, without prejudice to workers or those claiming under them who have, before that date, initiated legal proceedings or raised an equivalent claim under national law.

3.   For Member States whose accession took place after 17 May 1990 and who were on 1 January 1994 Contracting Parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, the date of 17 May 1990 in the first sentence of paragraph 1 is replaced by 1 January 1994.

2.   Member States may provide, as regards access to employment including the training leading thereto, that a difference of treatment which is based on a characteristic related to sex shall not constitute discrimination where, by reason of the nature of the particular occupational activities concerned or of the context in which they are carried out, such a characteristic constitutes a genuine and determining occupational requirement, provided that its objective is legitimate and the requirement is
  proportionate

Article 16

Maternity leave

1.   Less favourable treatment of a woman related to pregnancy or maternity leave shall constitute discrimination within the meaning of this Directive.

2.   Member States shall ensure that associations, organisations or other legal entities which have, in accordance with the criteria laid down by their national law, a legitimate interest in ensuring that the provisions of this Directive are complied with, may engage, either on behalf or in support of the complainant, with his approval, in any judicial and/or administrative procedure provided for the enforcement of obligations under this Directive.

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 6 July 2005 with a view to the adoption of Regulation (EC) No .../2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations (‘Rome II’)

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) 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 Union has set itself the objective of establishing an area of freedom, security and justice. To that end the Community must adopt measures relating to judicial cooperation in civil matters with a crossborder impact to the extent necessary for the proper functioning of the internal market, including measures promoting the compatibility of the rules applicable in the Member States concerning the conflict of laws and of jurisdiction. |

The Union has set itself the objective of establishing an area of freedom, security and justice. To that end the Community must adopt measures relating to judicial cooperation in civil matters with a crossborder impact to the extent necessary for the proper functioning of the internal market, including measures promoting the compatibility of the rules applicable in the Member States concerning the conflict of laws and of jurisdiction.

| (2) | For the purposes of effectively implementing the relevant provisions of the Amsterdam Treaty, the Council (Justice and Home Affairs) on 3 December 1998 adopted a plan of action specifying that the preparation of a legal instrument on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations is among the measures to be taken within two years following the entry into force of the Amsterdam Treaty
   (3). |

   (3).

| (3) | The Tampere European Council on 15 and 16 October 1999 (4) approved the principle of mutual recognition of judgments as a priority matter in the establishment of a European law-enforcement area. The draft mutual recognition programme
   (5) states that measures relating to harmonisation of conflict-of-law rules are measures that ‘actually do help facilitate’ the implementation of the principle. |

   (5) states that measures relating to harmonisation of conflict-of-law rules are measures that ‘actually do help facilitate’ the implementation of the principle.

| (4) | The proper functioning of the internal market creates a need, in order to improve the predictability of the outcome of litigation, certainty as to the law and the free movement of judgments, for the rules of conflict of laws in the Member States to designate the same national law irrespective of the country of the court in which an action is brought. |

| (5) | The scope
  and provisions
  of
  this
  Regulation must be determined in such a way as to be consistent with
  Council
  Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 of 22 December 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters

  and Regulation (EC) No .../... on the law applicable to contractual obligations (‘Rome I’)

  and Regulation (EC) No .../... on the law applicable to contractual obligations (‘Rome I’)

   (7).

| (6) | The concern for consistency in Community law requires that this Regulation be without prejudice to provisions relating to or having an effect on the applicable law, contained in instruments of secondary legislation other than this Regulation, such as conflict rules in specific matters, overriding mandatory rules of Community origin, and the basic legal principles of the internal market. As a result, this Regulation should promote the proper functioning of the internal market, in particular the free movement of goods and services. |

| (7) | Only uniform rules applied irrespective of the law they designate can avert the risk of distortions of competition between Community litigants. |

(7)

Only uniform rules applied irrespective of the law they designate can avert the risk of distortions of competition between Community litigants.

| (8) | It is necessary to have conflict rules which are as uniform as possible throughout the Member States in order to minimise uncertainty in the law. However, the need for legal certainty must always be subordinate to the overriding need to do justice in individual cases and consequently the courts must be able to exercise discretion. Furthermore, it is necessary to respect the intentions of the parties where they have made an express choice as to the law applicable to an issue in tort or delict or where such a choice may reasonably be inferred by the court. |

  serve to improve the foreseeability of court decisions and ensure a reasonable balance between the interests of the person claimed to be liable and the person who has sustained damage.
  It should also satisfy the reasonable expectations of the parties by allowing courts to take an approach to the question of the law applicable in a given dispute which satisfies the needs of international trade and transactions in a Community of States without internal borders. |

The conflict of laws rules set out in this Regulation also cover obligations based on strict liability and the harmonised rules on connecting factors also apply to the question of the capacity to incur liability in tort/delict.

| (11) | Regarding
  product liability, the conflict rule must meet the objectives of fairly spreading the risks inherent in a modern high-technology society, protecting consumers' health, stimulating innovation, securing undistorted competition and facilitating trade. Connection to the law of the place where the person sustaining the damage has his habitual residence, together with a foreseeability clause, is a balanced solution in regard to these
  objectives. |

| (12) | This Regulation does not prevent Member States from applying their constitutional rules relating to freedom of the press and freedom of expression in the media. The country in which the most significant element or elements of the damage occur or are likely to occur should be deemed to be the country to which the publication or broadcasting service is principally directed or, if this is not apparent, the country in which editorial control is exercised, and that country's law should be applicable. The country to which a publication or broadcast is directed should be determined in particular by the language of the publication or broadcast or by sales or audience size in a given country as a proportion of total sales or audience size or by a combination of those factors. Similar considerations should apply in respect of publication via the Internet or other electronic networks

| (13) | In a communications environment operating increasingly on a continent-wide basis, the various forms of law relating to the personality and historically established press traditions in the European Union suggest that, in this area too, more uniform prerequisites and rules for dispute resolution should be sought. The very nature, which merits safeguarding, of press freedom and its role in society would suggest, however, that in the process priority should be given to media which deal responsibly with rights relating to the personality and are prepared to establish autonomously, and on the basis of consensus, a self-obligating European Media Code and/or a European Media Council which can provide consolidating decision-taking guidelines for the relevant courts as well. The Commission is called on to provide support for such a process. |

  , in so far as is appropriate,
  account must be taken of the rules of safety and conduct in operation in the country in which the harmful act was committed, even where the non-contractual obligations are governed by another law.
  This should not apply to violations of rights relating to the personality or of fair competition. |

  for international commitments entered into by the Member States means that this Regulation should not affect conventions relating to specific matters to which the Member States are parties.

| (22) | Since the objective of the proposed action, namely better foreseeability of court judgments requiring genuinely uniform rules determined by a mandatory and directly applicable Community legal instrument, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States, who cannot lay down uniform Community rules, and can therefore, by reason of its effects throughout the Community, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality as set out in that Article, this Regulation, which increases certainty in the law without requiring harmonisation of the substantive rules of domestic law, does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective. |

Freedom of choice

1.

It may not affect the rights and obligations of third parties and shall be without prejudice to the application of mandatory rules within the meaning of Article 14.

2.
     
  A choice of law made by the parties shall not deprive an employee who is a party to a contract of employment of the protection that would be afforded to him by the mandatory rules

Article 4

General rule

1.   
  In the absence of an agreement within the meaning of Article 3 and unless otherwise provided for in this Regulation, the
  law applicable to a non-contractual obligation
  arising out of a tort or a delict
  shall be the law of the country in which the damage
  occurs
  or is likely to
  occur
  , irrespective of the country in which the event giving rise to the damage occurred and irrespective of the country or countries in which the indirect consequences of that event arise.

2.   
  In the case of personal injuries arising out of traffic accidents, however, and with a view to the motor insurance directive, the court seised and the liable driver's insurer shall, for the purposes of determining the type of claim for damages and calculating the quantum of the claim, apply the rules of the individual victim's place of habitual residence unless it would be inequitable to the victim to do so.

With regard to liability, the applicable law shall be the law of the place where the accident occurred.

3.   Notwithstanding
  paragraph 1 and by way of exception
  , where it is clear from all the circumstances of the case that the non-contractual obligation is manifestly more closely connected with another country, the law of that other country shall
  apply.

The factors that may be taken into account as manifestly connecting a non-contractual obligation with another country include:

| (a) | as far as loss-distribution and legal capacity are concerned, the fact that the person(s) claimed to be liable and the person(s) sustaining loss or damage have their habitual residence in the same country or that the relevant laws of the country of habitual residence of the person(s) claimed to be liable and of the country of habitual residence of the person(s) sustaining loss or damage are substantially identical; |

  , the law of the country in which the most significant element or elements of the loss or damage occur or are likely to occur shall be applicable.

Where the violation is caused by the publication of printed matter or by a broadcast, the country in which the most significant element or elements of the damage occur or are likely to occur shall be deemed to be the country to which the publication or broadcasting service is principally directed or, if this is not apparent, the country in which editorial control is exercised, and that country's law shall be applicable. The country to which the publication or broadcast is directed shall be determined in particular by the language of the publication or broadcast or by sales or audience size in a given country as a proportion of total sales or audience size or by a combination of those factors.

This provision shall apply ‘mutatis mutandis’ to publications via the Internet and other electronic networks.

2.   The law applicable to the right of reply or equivalent measures
  and to any preventive measures or prohibitory injunctions against a publisher or broadcaster regarding the content of a publication or broadcast
  shall be the law of the country in which the

  committed.

Article 9

Unjust enrichment

1.
     
  If a non-contractual obligation arising out of unjust enrichment concerns a relationship previously existing between the parties, such as a contract closely connected with that non-contractual obligation, it shall be governed by the law that governs that relationship.

2.
     
  Where the applicable law cannot be determined on the basis of paragraph 1 and the parties have their habitual residence in the same country when the event giving rise to unjust enrichment occurs, the applicable law shall be the law of that country.

3.
     
  Where the applicable law cannot be determined on the basis of paragraphs 1 and 2, the applicable law shall be the law of the country in which the event giving rise to unjust enrichment substantially occurred, irrespective of the country in which the enrichment occurred.

4.
     
  Where it is clear from all the circumstances of the case that the non-contractual obligation arising out of unjust enrichment is manifestly more closely connected with a country other than the one indicated by paragraphs 1, 2 or 3, the law of that other country shall apply.

Article 10

Negotiorum gestio

1.

2.
     
  Where the applicable law cannot be determined on the basis of paragraph 1 and the parties have their habitual residence in the same country when the event giving rise to the loss or damage occurs, the applicable law shall be the law of that country.

3.
     
  Where the applicable law cannot be determined on the basis of paragraphs 1 and 2, the applicable law shall be the law of the country in which the action took place.

4.
     
  Where it is clear from all the circumstances of the case that the non-contractual obligation arising out of an action or actions performed without due authority in connection with the affairs of another person is manifestly more closely connected with a country other than the one indicated by paragraphs 1, 2 or 3, the law of that other country shall apply.

  Where the law of a specific country is applicable by virtue of this Regulation, effect may be given to the mandatory rules of another country with which the situation is closely connected, if and in so far as, under the law of the latter country, those rules must be applied whatever the law applicable to the non-contractual obligation. In considering whether to give effect to these mandatory rules, regard shall be had to their nature and purpose and to the consequences of their application or non-application.

2.   Where the event giving rise to the damage occurs or the damage arises in the course of the business activity of a natural person, that natural person's
  actual place of
  establishment shall take the place of the habitual residence.
  Where the activity in question is peripatetic or domiciliary, that natural person's officially registered address shall take the place of the habitual residence

2.
     
  In particular, the application of a rule of law of any country specified by this Regulation may be refused and/or the law of the forum applied if such application would be in breach of fundamental rights and freedoms as enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights, national constitutional provisions or international humanitarian law.

3.
     
  Furthermore, the application of a provision of the law designated by this Regulation which has the effect of causing non-compensatory damages, such as exemplary or punitive damages, to be awarded may be regarded as being contrary to the public policy (‘ordre public’) of the forum.

4.
     
  Where, under this Regulation, the law specified as applicable is that of a Member State, the public policy exception may only be applied at the request of one of the parties.

Article
  25

Relationship

2.   The Commission shall publish the list of conventions referred to in paragraph 1 in the Official Journal of the European Union within six months of receiving the full list.

Article 27

Review

Not later than ... (9), the Commission shall submit to the European Parliament, the Council and the European Economic and Social Committee, in respect of points 1 and 2, reports on the application of this Regulation and, if necessary, make further proposals to adapt it:

| (1) | In making its report, the Commission shall pay particular attention to the effects of the way in which foreign law is treated in the different jurisdictions and the question of damages, including the possibility of awarding exemplary or punitive damages in certain jurisdictions. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

In making its report, the Commission shall pay particular attention to the effects of the way in which foreign law is treated in the different jurisdictions and the question of damages, including the possibility of awarding exemplary or punitive damages in certain jurisdictions.

| (2) | It shall also consider whether Community legislation specifically dealing with the law applicable to traffic accidents ought to be proposed. The report shall include an analytical study of the extent to which courts in the Member States apply foreign law in practice, including recommendations as to the desirability of a common approach to the application of foreign law. |

It shall also consider whether Community legislation specifically dealing with the law applicable to traffic accidents ought to be proposed. The report shall include an analytical study of the extent to which courts in the Member States apply foreign law in practice, including recommendations as to the desirability of a common approach to the application of foreign law.

| (3) | In a communications environment operating increasingly on a continent-wide basis, the various forms of law relating to the personality and historically established press traditions in the European Union point to the need for more uniform prerequisites and rules for dispute resolution. The very nature, which merits safeguarding, of press freedom and its role in society would suggest, however, that in the process priority should be given to media which deal responsibly with rights relating to the personality and are prepared to establish autonomously, and on the basis of consensus, a selfobligating European Media Code and/or a European Media Council which can provide consolidating decision-taking guidelines for the relevant courts as well. The Commission is called on to consider what scope there is for providing support for such a process and to present recommendations, in a report, on what form more far-reaching steps should take. |

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 7 July 2005 with a view to the adoption of Regulation (EC) No .../2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council Concerning the Financial Instrument for the Environment (LIFE+)

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 (1),

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

Whereas:

| (1) | The environment, as one of the dimensions of the EU Sustainable Development Strategy adopted at the Gothenburg European Council in 2001, is a priority for Community assistance and will be funded primarily through cohesion, agriculture and rural development, research, innovation and competitiveness, pre-accession and development and external assistance programmes. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

The environment, as one of the dimensions of the EU Sustainable Development Strategy adopted at the Gothenburg European Council in 2001, is a priority for Community assistance and will be funded primarily through cohesion, agriculture and rural development, research, innovation and competitiveness, pre-accession and development and external assistance programmes.

| (2) | These Community programmes
  are far from covering
  all environment funding imperatives and there is a need to support Community environment policy and legislation, and specifically the priorities under the Sixth Environmental Action Programme as established by Decision No 1600/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), thereby contributing to sustainable development. |
| --- | --- |

These Community programmes
  are far from covering
  all environment funding imperatives and there is a need to support Community environment policy and legislation, and specifically the priorities under the Sixth Environmental Action Programme as established by Decision No 1600/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), thereby contributing to sustainable development.

| (3) | These priorities include the objective of halting the loss of biodiversity by 2010 and the need to preserve natural areas of Community interest. The efforts made to identify and designate Natura 2000 sites require a follow-up and continuous support, particularly for the management of the sites in question, as they clearly play a part in realising the aforementioned objectives. The Natura 2000 network is governed by Council Directive 79/409/EEC of 2 April 1979 on the conservation of wild birds (the ‘Birds Directive’ (4)) and Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (the ‘Habitats Directive’ (5)), Article 8 of which authorises co-financing by the Member States and the Community. |

| (4) | The Member States agreed in Malahide in May 2004 that arrangements need to be established which ensure adequate and guaranteed Community co-financing for the Natura 2000 network. The Commission has estimated the annual costs of managing the Natura 2000 network at EUR 6 100 000 000 per year, without taking into account marine protected areas. That figure is likely to be an underestimate of the full costs and should therefore be considered as the minimum necessary. |

| (5) | The challenge of effective environment policy development and implementation under the sixth Environmental Action Programme can only be met through support for the demonstration of innovative policy approaches, consolidating the knowledge base, building implementation capacity, fostering good governance, promoting networking mutual learning and the exchange of best practice and improved dissemination of information, awareness raising and communication. |

| (6) | The final report on Financing Natura 2000 by the Expert Working Group on Article 8 of the Habitats Directive, produced in 2001, recommended that, in the short term, a ‘significant increase should be made in the funding to LIFE-Nature and the operation of this instrument should be simplified and made more readily applicable to supporting the capital investment needs of a wide variety of Natura 2000 sites’. |

| (7) | Article 6 of the Sixth Environmental Action Programme lays down the priority of establishing the Natura 2000 network and providing the technical and financial instruments and measures needed to bring it fully into effect and to enable the species protected by the Habitats and Wild Birds Directives, and sites of Community interest, to be protected outside the areas covered by Natura 2000. |

| (8) | In its conclusions issued on 11 July 2002, the Council acknowledged that the network management provisions of the Habitats Directive needed to be implemented as soon as possible and that it was necessary to deal with the subject of funding, including the matter of an appropriate framework for Community co-financing, called on the Commission to use its communication on funding for the Natura 2000 network to put forward different options for an appropriate and effective Community financial framework, which would have to be included in the Community's future financial perspectives, and recognised that LIFE-Nature had a key role to play in setting up the Natura 2000 network and preserving biodiversity in the European Union in general. |

| TEXT PROPOSED BY THE COMMISSION | AMENDMENTS BY PARLIAMENT |
| --- | --- |
| Amendment 1 |
| Recital 1 |
| (1) The particular geographical situation of the outermost regions imposes additional transport costs in supplying products which are essential for human consumption, for processing or as agricultural inputs. In addition, objective factors arising as a result of insularity and remoteness impose further constraints on economic operators and producers in the outermost regions that severely handicap their activities. These handicaps can be alleviated by lowering the price of these essential products. It is therefore appropriate to introduce specific supply arrangements to guarantee supply to the outermost regions and compensate for the additional costs arising from their remoteness, insularity and distant location. | (1) The particular geographical situation of the outermost regions imposes additional transport costs in supplying products which are essential for human consumption, for processing or as agricultural inputs. In addition, objective factors arising as a result of insularity and remoteness impose further constraints on economic operators and producers in the outermost regions that severely handicap their activities.
  In some cases, economic operators and producers face a double insularity arising from the distance between islands in the same region.
  These handicaps can be alleviated by lowering the price of these essential products. It is therefore appropriate to introduce specific supply arrangements to guarantee supply to the outermost regions and compensate for the additional costs arising from their remoteness, insularity and distant location. |
| Amendment 2 |
| Recital 2a (new) |
| | (2a) The Commission should apply an effective policy to promote SMEs in the agri-foodstuffs sector in the outermost regions to enable them to maintain their traditional exports and increase trade with neighbouring third countries. |
| Amendment 3 |
| Recital 4 |
| (4) Since the quantities covered by the specific supply arrangements are limited to the supply requirements of the outermost regions, those arrangements do not impair the proper functioning of the internal market. Nor should the economic advantages of the specific supply arrangements provoke diversions of trade in the products concerned. Dispatching or exportation of those products from the outermost regions should therefore be prohibited. However, dispatch or exportation of those products should be authorised where the advantage resulting from the specific supply arrangements is reimbursed or, in the case of processed products, to permit regional trade or trade between the two Portuguese outermost regions. Account should also be taken of traditional trade flows with third countries in all the outermost regions, and exports of processed products corresponding to traditional exports for all those regions should accordingly be authorised. Nor should the restriction apply to the traditional dispatching of processed products. For the sake of clarity, the reference period for defining those traditionally exported or dispatched quantities should be specified. | (4) Since the quantities covered by the specific supply arrangements are limited to the supply requirements of the outermost regions, those arrangements do not impair the proper functioning of the internal market.

  . |
| Amendment 4 |
| Recital 12a (new) |
| | (12a) The Commission should propose the necessary derogations to the Council to enable rural development programmes to be implemented, taking account of the specific features of the outermost regions. |

TEXT PROPOSED BY THE COMMISSION

AMENDMENTS BY PARLIAMENT

Amendment 1

Recital 1

(1) The particular geographical situation of the outermost regions imposes additional transport costs in supplying products which are essential for human consumption, for processing or as agricultural inputs. In addition, objective factors arising as a result of insularity and remoteness impose further constraints on economic operators and producers in the outermost regions that severely handicap their activities. These handicaps can be alleviated by lowering the price of these essential products. It is therefore appropriate to introduce specific supply arrangements to guarantee supply to the outermost regions and compensate for the additional costs arising from their remoteness, insularity and distant location.

(1) The particular geographical situation of the outermost regions imposes additional transport costs in supplying products which are essential for human consumption, for processing or as agricultural inputs. In addition, objective factors arising as a result of insularity and remoteness impose further constraints on economic operators and producers in the outermost regions that severely handicap their activities.
  In some cases, economic operators and producers face a double insularity arising from the distance between islands in the same region.
  These handicaps can be alleviated by lowering the price of these essential products. It is therefore appropriate to introduce specific supply arrangements to guarantee supply to the outermost regions and compensate for the additional costs arising from their remoteness, insularity and distant location.

Amendment 2

Recital 2a (new)

(2a) The Commission should apply an effective policy to promote SMEs in the agri-foodstuffs sector in the outermost regions to enable them to maintain their traditional exports and increase trade with neighbouring third countries.

Amendment 3

Recital 4

(4) Since the quantities covered by the specific supply arrangements are limited to the supply requirements of the outermost regions, those arrangements do not impair the proper functioning of the internal market. Nor should the economic advantages of the specific supply arrangements provoke diversions of trade in the products concerned. Dispatching or exportation of those products from the outermost regions should therefore be prohibited. However, dispatch or exportation of those products should be authorised where the advantage resulting from the specific supply arrangements is reimbursed or, in the case of processed products, to permit regional trade or trade between the two Portuguese outermost regions. Account should also be taken of traditional trade flows with third countries in all the outermost regions, and exports of processed products corresponding to traditional exports for all those regions should accordingly be authorised. Nor should the restriction apply to the traditional dispatching of processed products. For the sake of clarity, the reference period for defining those traditionally exported or dispatched quantities should be specified.
