PROCEEDINGS OF THE SITTING

IN THE CHAIR: Josep BORRELL FONTELLES

President

1.   Resumption of session

The sitting opened at 17.05.

2.   Approval of Minutes of previous sitting

The Minutes of the previous sitting were approved.

3.   Statement by the President

The President made a statement on the 60th anniversary of the United Nations and mentioned the summit of Heads of State and Government that had been held in New York on 15 and 16 September 2005.

4.   Tribute

On behalf of Parliament, the President paid tribute to the memory of Matti Wuori, a Member of Parliament during the previous parliamentary term, who had died on 15.10.2005.

5.   Membership of Parliament

Garrelt Duin and Ingo Schmitt had been elected to the German Bundestag with effect from 18.10.2005. Under Article 7(2) of the Act concerning the election of Members of the European Parliament by direct universal suffrage, Parliament noted that this office was incompatible with that of Member of the European Parliament and established the vacancy of the seats concerned with effect from that date.

At its sitting of 13.10.2005(Minutes of 13.10.2005, Item 11), Parliament had established the vacancy of Wojciech Wierzejski's seat with effect from 19.10.2005, as Mr Wierzejski had been elected to the Polish Parliament. The Polish authorities had later informed the President that, under Polish law, the office of Member of the European Parliament became incompatible with that of Member of the Polish Parliament upon publication of the election results, not on the day of the Polish Parliament's inaugural sitting. As a result, it was deemed that the vacancy of Wojciech Wierzejski's seat had taken effect as of 7.10.2005.

6.   Membership of interparliamentary delegations

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

Delegation for relations with the countries of South Asia and the South Asia Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC)

| (22) | The development of mandatory requirements for waste facilities and the treatment of specific waste materials at Community level, in addition to the existing provisions of Community law, can contribute to the creation of a high level of environmental protection across the Community, assist in the creation of a level playing field for recycling and help to ensure that the development of an economically viable internal market for recycling is not hindered. Therefore there is a need to develop a Community level playing field for recycling through the application of common standards in certain areas, as appropriate and including in relation to secondary materials, in order to increase the quality of recycling. The Commission should submit, as appropriate, proposals for such standards for certain wastes and certain recycling facilities as soon as practicable based on further examination in the context of the waste strategy and taking into account existing Community legislation and legislation in the Member States. In the interim, it should be possible, under certain conditions, to object to planned shipments where the related recovery would not be in accordance with national legislation in the country of dispatch relating to the recovery of waste. In the interim, the Commission should also keep under review the situation regarding possible undesired shipments of waste to the new Member States and, if necessary, submit appropriate proposals to deal with such situations. |

Where a recovery or disposal facility rejects a shipment received, it shall immediately inform the competent authority of destination.

2.   The competent authority of dispatch shall ensure that, except in cases referred to in paragraph 3, the waste in question is taken back to its area of jurisdiction or elsewhere within the country of dispatch by the notifier as identified in accordance with the ranking established in point 15 of Article 2, or, if impracticable, by that competent authority itself or by a natural or legal person on its behalf.

This shall take place within 90 days, or such other period as may be agreed between the competent authorities concerned, after the competent authority of dispatch becomes aware or has been advised in writing by the competent authorities of destination or transit that the consented shipment of waste or its recovery or disposal cannot be completed and has been informed of the reason(s) therefor. Such advice may result from information submitted to the competent authorities of destination or transit inter alia by other competent authorities.

The take-back obligation in paragraph 2 shall not apply if the waste shipped has, in the course of the operation at the facility concerned, been irreversibly mixed with other waste before a competent authority concerned has become aware of the fact that the notified shipment cannot be completed as referred to in paragraph 1. Such mixture shall be recovered or disposed of in an alternative way in accordance with the first subparagraph.

ANNEX IVA

WASTE LISTED IN ANNEX III BUT SUBJECT TO THE PROCEDURE OF PRIOR WRITTEN NOTIFICATION AND CONSENT (ARTICLE 3(3))

ANNEX V

WASTE SUBJECT TO THE EXPORT PROHIBITION IN ARTICLE 36 INTRODUCTORY NOTES

1. This Annex applies without prejudice to Directives 75/442/EEC and 91/689/EEC.

2. This Annex consists of three parts, parts 2 and 3 of which apply only when part 1 is not applicable. Consequently, to determine whether a specific waste is listed in this Annex, an initial check must be made to ascertain whether the waste is listed in part 1 of this Annex, and, if it does not, whether it is listed in part 2, and, if it does not, whether it is listed in part 3.

Part 1 is divided into two sub-sections: List A lists wastes which are classified as hazardous by Article 1(1)(a) of the Basel Convention, and therefore covered by the export prohibition, and list B lists wastes which are not covered by Article 1(1)(a) of the Basel Convention, and therefore not covered by the export prohibition.

Thus, if a waste is listed in part 1, a check must be made to ascertain whether it is listed in List A or in List B. Only if a waste is not listed in either List A or List B of part 1, must a check be made to ascertain whether it is listed either among the hazardous waste listed in part 2 (i.e. types of waste marked with an asterisk) or in part 3, and if this is the case, it is covered by the export prohibition.

3. Wastes listed in List B of part 1 or which are among the non-hazardous waste listed in part 2 (i.e. wastes not marked with an asterisk) are covered by the export prohibition if they are contaminated by other materials to an extent which

| (a) | increases the risks associated with the waste sufficiently to render it appropriate for submission to the procedure of prior written notification and consent, when taking into account the hazardous characteristics listed in Annex III to Directive 91/689/EEC; or |
| --- | --- |

(a)

increases the risks associated with the waste sufficiently to render it appropriate for submission to the procedure of prior written notification and consent, when taking into account the hazardous characteristics listed in Annex III to Directive 91/689/EEC; or

(1)  References in Lists A and B to Annexes I, III and IV refer to Annexes of the Basel Convention.

(2)  Note that mirror entry on list B (B1160) does not specify exceptions.

(3)  This entry does not include scrap assemblies from electric power generation.

(4)  PCBs are at a concentration level of 50 mg/kg or more.

(5)  
  PCBs at a concentration level of 50mg/kg or more.

(6)  The 50 mg/kg level is considered to be an internationally practical level for all wastes. However, many individual countries have established lower regulatory levels (e.g. 20 mg/kg) for specific wastes.

(7)  ‘Out-dated’ means unused within the period recommended by the manufacturer.

(8)  This entry does not include wood treated with wood-preserving chemicals.

(9)  ‘Out-dated’ means unused within the period recommended by the manufacturer.

(10)  Note that even where low level contamination with Annex I materials initially exists, subsequent processes, including recycling processes, may result in separated fractions containing significantly enhanced concentrations of those Annex I materials.

(11)  The status of zinc ash is currently under review and there is a recommendation with United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (Unctad) that zinc ashes should not be dangerous goods.

(12)  This entry does not include scrap from electrical power generation.

(13)  Re-use can include repair, refurbishment or upgrading, but not major reassembly.

(14)  In some countries these materials destined for direct re-use are not considered wastes.

(15)  The concentration level of Benzol[a]pyrene should not be 50 mg/kg or more.

(16)  It is understood that such scraps are completely polymerized.

(17)  Post-consumer wastes are excluded from this entry. Wastes shall not be mixed. Problems arising from open-burning practices to be considered.

(18)  Wastes marked with an asterisk are considered to be hazardous waste pursuant to Directive 91/689/EEC. When identifying a waste in the list below, the introduction to the Annex of Decision 2000/532/EC is relevant.

(19)  For the purpose of this list of wastes, PCBs will be defined as in Council Directive 96/59/EC of 16 September 1996 on the disposal of polychlorinated biphenyls and polychlorinated terphenyls (PCB/PCT) (OJ L 243, 24.9.1996, p. 31).

(20)  Hazardous components from electrical and electronic equipment may include accumulators and batteries mentioned in 16 06 and marked as hazardous, mercury switches, glass from cathode ray tubes and other activated glass, etc.

(21)  For the purpose of this entry, transition metals are: scandium, vanadium, manganese, cobalt, copper, yttrium, niobium, hafnium, tungsten, titanium, chromium, iron, nickel, zinc, zirconium, molybdenum and tantalum. These metals or their compounds are dangerous if they are classified as dangerous substances. The classification of dangerous substances shall determine which among those transition metals and which transition metal compounds are hazardous.

(22)  Stabilisation processes change the dangerousness of the constituents in the waste and thus transform hazardous waste into non-hazardous waste. Solidification processes only change the physical state of the waste (e.g. liquid into solid) by using additives without changing the chemical properties of the waste.

(23)  A waste is considered as partly stabilised if after the stabilisation process dangerous constituents which have not been changed completely into non-dangerous constituents could be released into the environment in the short, middle or long term.

(24)  Hazardous components from electrical and electronic equipment may include accumulators and batteries mentioned in 16 06 and marked as hazardous, mercury switches, glass from cathode ray tubes and other activated glass, etc.

(25)  This list originates from Appendix 4, Part I of the OECD Decision.

(26)  Unless appropriately classified under a single entry in Annex III.

(27)  The wastes numbered AB 130, AC 250, AC 260 and AC 270 have been deleted since they have been considered, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18 of Directive 75/442/EEC, to be non-hazardous and therefore not subject to the export prohibition laid down in Article 35 of this Regulation.

(28)  This listing includes wastes in the form of ash, residue, slag, dross, skimming, scaling, dust, powder, sludge and cake, unless a material is expressly listed elsewhere.

The beneficiary of an operating grant shall keep available for the Commission all the supporting documents, including the audited financial statement, regarding expenditure incurred during the grant year, for a period of five years following the last payment. The beneficiary of a grant shall ensure that, where applicable, supporting documents in the possession of partners or members be made available to the Commission.

The Commission may have an audit of the use made of the grant carried out either directly by its own staff or by any other qualified outside body of its choice.

Where appropriate, the audit findings may lead to recovery decisions by the Commission.

ANNEX

The actions implementing the general and specific objectives of the programme support small-scale projects promoting the active participation of young people.

The participation of young people in the programme is not subject to any specific prior experience or qualifications, except in certain cases specified in the actions.

The actions can be broken down into the following measures:

ACTION 1 — Youth for Europe

The objective of this action is to reinforce the active citizenship of young people and mutual understanding between them through the following measures.

The indicative financial endowment for Action 1 should total not less than 30 % of the total costs provided for all five actions {for the period 2007-2013).

1.1. Youth exchanges

Youth exchanges allow one or more groups of young people to be hosted by a group from another country in order to participate together in a joint programme of activities. They are available, in principle, to young people aged between 13 and 25.

These activities, based on transnational partnerships between the various actors in a project, involve the active participation of young people and are designed to allow them to discover and become aware of different social and cultural realities, to learn from each other and reinforce their feeling of being European citizens. The support focuses on multilateral group mobility activities.

Bilateral group exchanges are justified especially where it is their first European activity or the participants are small-scale or local groups without experience at European level. Exchanges for young people with fewer opportunities are also welcome, in order to step up their participation in the programme.

This measure also supports preparation activities, with the aim of reinforcing young people's active participation in the projects, in particular those activities intended to help the young people at a linguistic and intercultural level, as well as international meetings between young people wishing to debate subjects of importance for their future and the future of Europe.

Preparatory and follow-up activities, particularly in the linguistic and intercultural fields, intended to increase the active participation of young people in projects, are supported under this action.

1.2. Support for young people's initiatives

This measure supports projects where young people participate actively and directly in activities of their own devising in which they play the key roles, in order to develop their initiative, enterprise and creativity. In principle, it is for young people aged between
  16 and 30.

This measure supports group projects designed at local, regional and national level and the networking of similar projects in different countries, in order to strengthen their European aspect and to enhance cooperation and exchanges of experiences between young people.

Particular attention is paid to young people with fewer opportunities.

1.3. Participative democracy projects

This measure supports young people's participation in democratic life. These projects and activities encourage the active participation of young people in the life of their local, regional or national community
  and at the international level
  .

It is open, in principle, to young people aged between 13 and 30.

These activities or projects are based on international partnerships, allowing the pooling, at European level, of ideas, experiences and good practices from projects or activities at local or regional level, in order to improve young people's participation at different levels. They may include organising consultation projects with young people to find out their needs and wishes, with a view to developing new approaches to their active participation in a democratic Europe.

ACTION 2 — European Voluntary Service

The aim of the Voluntary Service is to develop solidarity and promote active citizenship and mutual understanding among young people through the following measures.

The indicative financial endowment for Action 2 should total not less than 23 % of the total costs provided for all five actions (for the period 2007-2013).

2.1. European Voluntary Service (individual)

The young volunteer takes part in a non-profit-making unpaid activity to the benefit of the general public in a country other than his or her country of residence. The European Voluntary Service must not have an adverse effect on potential or existing paid employment or be seen as a substitute for it.

The service lasts for several months, and may last up to twelve months. In duly justified cases, in particular to facilitate the participation of young people with fewer opportunities, shorter periods may be allowed.

While, in principle, the measure is intended for young people aged between 18 and 30, certain activities may admit young people aged 16 and over, as long as appropriate supervision is provided.

The measure covers all or part of the volunteer's expenses, insurance, subsistence and travel, plus an additional allowance for young people with fewer opportunities where appropriate.

It also supports activities for the training of young volunteers, especially before their departure, and coordination activities for the various partners. It ensures the follow-up of initiatives based on experiences gained during European voluntary service.

The Member States and the Commission shall make sure that certain quality standards are respected: the voluntary work must include a non-formal education dimension demonstrated by pedagogical activities to prepare young people at a personal, intercultural and technical level, as well as ongoing personal support. Partnership between the various actors involved in the project and risk prevention are considered particularly important.

2.2. European voluntary service (groups)

This measure supports volunteer projects with the same characteristics as those described in point 2.1 above which allow groups of young people to take part collectively
  in activities organised at local, regional, national, European or international level
  .

In principle, it is open to young people aged between 18 and
  30.

2.3. Cooperation between civil or volunteer services

This measure supports cooperation between national and international youth volunteer services. Reinforcing synergies and creating compatibility between the various forms of civil volunteer service at European and national level are two aspects which may be supported by the programme, in order to strengthen the European dimension.

ACTION 3 — Youth
  in
  the World

The purpose of this action is to develop mutual understanding between peoples in a spirit of openness, whilst also contributing to the development of quality systems that support the activities of young people in the countries concerned. It is open to the programme's partner countries.

The indicative financial endowment for Action 3 should total not less than 4 % of the total costs provided for all five actions (for the period 2007-2013).

3.1. Cooperation with the neighbouring countries of the enlarged Europe

This measure supports projects with the programme partner countries
  that are each considered neighbourhood countries under the provisions of the Union's European neighbourhood policy pursuant to Article 5 (2)

   (1).

It supports youth exchanges, mainly multilateral ones, which allow several groups of young people from participating countries and neighbouring countries to meet and take part together in a programme of activities. It is available, in principle, to young people aged between 13 and 25. These activities, based on transnational partnerships between the various actors in a project, involve the prior training of supervisory staff and the active participation of young people, to allow them to discover and become aware of different social and cultural realities. Activities to enhance the participation of young people in the projects, particularly those intended to help them at a linguistic and intercultural level, may be eligible for funding.

As long as adequate national management structures are created in the neighbouring countries, individual or group initiatives at local, regional or national level in those countries can be supported where they are carried out in conjunction with similar initiatives in countries participating in the programme. These are activities designed by the young people themselves, in which they are the key players. In principle, the activity is for young people aged between 18 and 30, although certain initiatives may admit young people from age 16, as long as appropriate supervision is provided.

This measure supports activities designed to network and enhance the capacity of NGOs in the field of youth, recognising the important role that they can play in the development of civil society in the neighbouring countries. It covers the training of
  qualified operatives in youth work and youth organisations
  and exchanges of experience, expertise and good practices between them. It supports activities which may lead to the establishment of long-lasting, high quality projects and partnerships.

This measure also supports projects to stimulate innovation and quality, aiming at introducing, implementing and promoting innovative approaches in the youth field.

Financial support may be awarded to information activities for young people and
  qualified operatives in youth work and youth organisations
  .

This measure also supports activities promoting cooperation in the field of youth with the neighbouring countries, e.g. promoting cooperation and the exchange of ideas and good practices in the field of youth, as well as other promotion and dissemination measures regarding the results of the projects and activities supported in the countries concerned in the field of youth.

3.2. Cooperation with other countries

This measure supports cooperation activities in the field of youth, in particular the exchange of good practices with the other partner countries.

It encourages exchanges between and the training of
  qualified operatives in youth work and youth organisations
  and the development of partnerships and networks of youth organisations.

Multilateral exchanges of young people between those countries and the countries participating in the programme may be implemented on a thematic basis.

Funding is awarded to activities that demonstrate their potential multiplier effect.

In the context of cooperation with industrialised countries, this measure funds only European
  participants in projects.

ACTION 4 —
  Qualified operatives in youth work and youth organisations and support systems

The aim of this action is to develop the quality of youth support structures, to support the role of
  qualified operatives in youth work and youth organisations
  , to develop the quality of the programme and to promote the civil participation of young people at European level by supporting bodies active at European level in the field of youth.

The indicative financial endowment for Action 4 should total not less than 15 % of the total costs provided for all five actions (for the period 2007-2013).

4.1. Support for bodies active at European level in the field of youth

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

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) | It is essential to promote cooperation and cultural exchanges in order to respect and promote the diversity of
  languages and
  cultures in Europe and improve knowledge among European citizens of European cultures other than their own
  , while at the same time heightening their awareness of the common European cultural heritage they share
  . Promoting cultural
  and linguistic
  cooperation and diversity thus helps to make European citizenship a tangible reality by encouraging direct participation by European citizens in the integration process. |

  respect for human dignity and integrity

| (5) | The Culture 2007-2013 programme must take into consideration the fields of cultural heritage and cultural creation of the Member States, such as architecture, the plastic arts, music, literature and the performing arts, while remaining in a non-sectoral spirit, open to innovation and to trans-disciplinary synergies. |

Considerable experience has thus been acquired, particularly through the evaluation of these cultural programmes. It is at present worthwhile to rationalise and strengthen Community cultural action on the basis of the results of these evaluations, the results of consultation with all interested parties and recent work by the European institutions. It is therefore appropriate to establish a programme to this end. |

| (18) | In this context, there is a case for promoting increased cooperation between cultural players by encouraging them to form
  multi-annual cooperation networks
  , enabling them to develop common activities, provide support for more targeted measures with a real European added value, support symbolic cultural events, support European cultural cooperation organisations and encourage analyses on chosen themes of European interest as well as the collection and dissemination of information

ANNEX

I. DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS

1. First strand: support for cultural actions

1.1.
  Multi-annual cooperation networks

The programme shall support sustainable and structured cultural
  multi-annual cooperation networks
  between European cultural operators. This support is intended to assist the
  networks
  in their start-up and structuring phase or in their geographical extension phase. The aim shall be to encourage them to establish sustainable foundations and achieve financial autonomy.

Each
  network shall consist of
  at least six operators from
  four
  different countries participating in the programme.
  Its purpose shall be to
  bring together operators from one or more sectors for
  various
  multi-annual activities or projects,
  which may be
  sectoral or cross-sectoral in nature but
  which must pursue
  a common objective.
  Each network shall have a lead operator, who is to represent the other operators taking part, and who is to be responsible to the Commission.

Each
  network
  shall be intended to carry out a number of structured, multi-annual cultural activities. These activities are to be implemented throughout the duration of Community financing. They must have at least two of the specific objectives indicated in Article 3
  (2) (a)-(c)
  . Priority will be given to
  networks
  intending to develop activities meeting
  all
  three objectives in Article
  3(2) (a)-(c)
  .

The
  networks
  shall be selected following calls for proposals pursuant to the Financial Regulation and its implementing measures. In this context, selection will be made on the basis, among other things, of the recognised expertise of co-organisers in their field of activity, their financial and operational capacity to carry out the proposed activities, and the quality of these activities and the extent to which they meet the general objective and specific objectives of the programme, as set out in Article 3.

The
  networks
  must be founded on a cooperation agreement, i.e. a common document with a legal form in one of the participating countries and signed by all co-organisers.

Community support may not exceed
  70 %
  of the project budget and shall be degressive in nature. It may not be more than
  EUR
  500 000 a year. This support shall be granted for a period
  of not less than three years and not more than
  five years.
  During this period, some of the co-organisers may be substituted as long as the objective and the number of countries represented remain the same.

Approximately 29 %
  of the total budget allocated to the programme shall be devoted to this type of support.

1.2. Cooperation measures

The programme shall support sectoral or cross-sectoral cultural cooperation actions between European operators. Priority shall be given to creativity and innovation
  , especially to projects for preserving and disseminating knowledge of cultural heritage of European significance
  . Actions aimed at exploring avenues for cooperation in order to develop them over the longer term will be particularly encouraged.

Each action should be designed and carried out in partnership by at least
  three
  cultural operators in three different participating countries, whether these operators come from one or more sectors.

Actions shall be selected following calls for proposals pursuant to the Financial Regulation and its implementing measures. In this context, selection will be made on the basis of the recognised expertise of co-organisers, their financial and operational capacity to carry out the proposed activities, the quality of these activities and the extent to which they meet the general objective and specific objectives of the programme, as set out in Article 3.

Community support may not exceed
  70%
  of the project budget. It may not be less than
  EUR 30 000
  per year nor more than EUR200 000 per year. This support shall be granted for a
  period of between
  12
  and 24
  months.

The conditions set out for this action concerning the minimum number of operators required in order to present projects, as well as the minimum and maximum amounts for Community support, may be adapted to take account of the specific conditions of literary translation.

Approximately 30 %
  of the total budget allocated to the programme shall be devoted to this type of support.

1.3. Special actions

The programme shall also support special actions. These actions shall be special in that they should be substantial in scale and scope, strike a significant chord with the peoples of Europe and help to increase their sense of belonging to the same community, make them aware of the cultural diversity of the Member States, and also contribute to intercultural and international dialogue. They must meet at least
  two
  of the specific objectives set out in Article 3
  (2) (a)-(c)
  .

These special actions shall also help to raise the profile of Community cultural action and increase the cultural influence of our continent.

As an example, these ‘special actions’ may include the awarding of prizes, in so far as they highlight artists, works or cultural or artistic achievements, make them known beyond national borders and thus encourage mobility and exchanges
  in the manner of, for example, the Prix Europa.

In this context, significant support will also be given to the ‘European Capitals of Culture’ in order to help implement activities stressing European visibility and trans-European cultural cooperation.

Support may also be given in this context to cooperation with third countries and international organisations, as set out in Articles 5(2) and 6.

The examples given above do not constitute an exhaustive list of measures likely to be supported under this sub-strand of the programme.

The selection procedures for special actions will depend on the action in question. Financing will be granted following calls for proposals and invitations to tender, except in the cases referred to in Articles 54 and 168 of the Financial Regulation. Account will also be taken of the extent to which each action meets the general objective and specific objectives of the programme, as set out in Article 3.

Community support may not exceed 60 % of the project budget.

Approximately 16 %
  of the total budget allocated to the programme shall be devoted to this type of support.

2. Second strand: support for European bodies active at European level in the field of culture and for action for the preservation and commemoration of the main sites and archives associated with the deportations

This support shall take the form of an operating grant to co-finance expenditure associated with the permanent work programme of a body which pursues an aim of general European interest in the field of culture or an objective forming part of the European Union's policy in this area;

Provision shall be made for these grants to be awarded on the basis of annual calls for proposals.

Approximately 14 %
  of the total budget allocated to the programme shall be devoted to this strand.

Support for the operation of organisations of European cultural interest

Support may be given to
  bodies working for cultural cooperation
  in one or more of the following ways:

In this regard, they must carry out their activities at European level, alone or in the form of various coordinated associations, and their structure (registered members) and activities must have a potential influence at European Union level or cover at least seven European countries.

The beneficiaries of these operating grants shall be selected through a call for proposals. This shall be done on the basis of matching the bodies' work programme with the specific objectives set out in Article 3. Multi-annual framework partnership agreements may be concluded with the bodies so selected.

The total operating grant awarded under this strand of the Annex may not exceed 80% of the body's admissible expenditure for the year in which the grant is
  awarded.

3.
  Third
  strand: support for Analyses and for the collection and dissemination of information
  and for promotional activities
  in the field of cultural cooperation

Approximately
  5 % of the total budget allocated to the programme shall be devoted to this strand.

3.1. Support for analyses in the field of cultural cooperation

The programme shall support the carrying out of studies and analyses in the field of cultural cooperation. The aim of this support shall be to increase the volume of information and data on cultural cooperation at European level, particularly with regard to the mobility of cultural players, the circulation of works of art and artistic and cultural products and intercultural dialogue.

Studies and analyses contributing to increasing knowledge of the phenomenon of trans-European cultural cooperation and to creating favourable conditions for it to flourish may be supported under this strand. Projects aimed at collecting and analysing statistics will be particularly encouraged.

3.2. Support for the collection and dissemination of information
  and for promotional activities
  in the field of cultural cooperation

The programme shall support the collection and dissemination of information
  and promotional activities
  via the development of an Internet tool targeted at the needs of culture professionals in the field of trans-European cultural cooperation.

This tool should enable the exchange of experience and good practice and the dissemination of information concerning the cultural programme as well as trans-European cultural cooperation in the broad sense.

3.3. Support for cultural contact points

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 25 October 2005 with a view to the adoption of Decision No .../2005/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the implementation of a programme of support for the European audiovisual sector (MEDIA 2007)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 157(3) and 150(4) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

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

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (2),

Acting in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty (3),

Whereas:

| (1) | The European audiovisual sector has a key role to play in the emergence of European citizenship because it is one of the principal vectors for conveying
  the Union's common, fundamental, social and
  cultural values to Europeans and especially young people. Community support is designed to enable the European audiovisual sector to
  promote intercultural dialogue, increase mutual awareness amongst Europe's cultures and develop its political, cultural, social and economic potential, which constitutes genuine added value in the task of making
  European citizenship
  a reality
  . It is
  also
  intended to enhance competitiveness and, in particular, to increase the market share in Europe of non-national European works. |

  ensure respect for the principle of human dignity, promote equality between women and men and
  combat all forms of
  discrimination and
  exclusion, including racism and xenophobia. |

  training,
  employment, economic reform and social cohesion in a knowledge-based economy. In its conclusions, the Council stated that ‘the content industries create added value by exploiting and networking European cultural diversity’. This approach was confirmed in the conclusions of the Brussels European Council of 20 and 21 March 2003. |

and that support for digital services and European catalogues must be made a priority in order to overcome the fragmentation of the European audiovisual market.

| (10) | The preparatory action ‘Growth and Audiovisual: i2i Audiovisual’, complementary to the MEDIA Plus and MEDIA Training programmes, marked a further stage in implementing the policy of Community support for the audiovisual sector. It was intended specifically to provide a remedy for the problems of access to funding of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the sector. The evaluation of ‘Growth and Audiovisual: i2i Audiovisual’ confirmed that it met the sector's needs and confirmed the need to pursue Community action along these lines

| (11) | The European audiovisual sector is characterised by its considerable potential for growth, innovation and dynamism, by the fragmentation of the market as a function of cultural and linguistic diversity and, consequently, by a large number of medium-sized, small and very small enterprises with chronic under-capitalisation.
  For the purposes of implementing Community support, the specific nature of the audiovisual sector must be taken into account and it must be ensured that administrative and financial procedures
  are proportionate to the amount of support at issue and, as far as possible
  , are
  greatly simplified and
  adapted to the aims pursued and the sector's practices and requirements.
  In particular, simplification must lead to a reduction in the time that elapses between the planning of projects and making them accessible to the public. |

3.   information about the european audiovisual market, participation in the european audiovisual observatory
  and cooperation with the eurimages support fund

The programme provides the legal basis for the expenditure necessary to monitor Community audiovisual policy measures.

It provides for the European Union to continue participating in the European Audiovisual Observatory. This will ease access to information for operators and dissemination in the sector. It will also contribute to greater transparency in the production process.
  The programme could likewise enable the European Union to explore possible cooperation with the Council of Europe's Eurimages Support Fund for the co-production of cinematographic works, with a view to promoting the competitiveness of the European audiovisual sector on the international market. Such cooperation should not be of a financial nature.

4.   Management tasks

The programme's financial allocation may also cover expenses pertaining to preparatory, monitoring, control, audit and evaluation activities, required directly for the management and the realisation of the objectives of the programme, in particular, studies, meetings, information and publication actions, expenses linked to computer networks focusing on information exchange, together with all other technical and administrative assistance expenses that the Commission may have recourse to for the management of the programme.

5.   Checks and audits

For the projects selected in accordance with the procedure described in Article 9(3) of this Decision, a system of random auditing shall be set up.

Any beneficiary of a grant shall keep at the Commission's disposal for a period of five years following the final payment all supporting documents on the expenditure incurred. Beneficiaries shall ensure that, if necessary, any supporting document in the possession of partners or members is made available to the Commission.

The Commission, either directly through its staff or through any other qualified external agency of its choice, is entitled to carry out an audit on the use of the grant. These audits may be carried out throughout the term of the contract and for a period of five years from the date of the payment of the balance of the grant. The outcome of these audits may lead to a decision by the Commission to recover funds.

The Commission's staff and external persons authorised by the Commission shall have suitable access, in particular to the offices of the beneficiary and to all information needed, including that in electronic form, to carry out the audits properly.

The Court of Auditors and the European Anti-Fraud Office shall have the same rights, especially of access, as the Commission.

Moreover, in order to protect the European Communities' financial interests against fraud and other irregularities, the Commission is authorised to carry out checks and verifications in situ under the present programme, in compliance with Council Regulation (Euratom, EC) No 2185/96 (2). If necessary, investigations shall be carried out by the European Anti-Fraud Office and shall be governed by Regulation (EC) No 1073/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3).

Position of the European Parliament adopted at second reading on 26 October 2005 with a view to the adoption of Regulation (EC) No .../2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council on certain fluorinated greenhouse gases

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 and Article 9 5 thereof in relation to Articles 7, 8 and 9 of this Regulation,

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 Sixth Community Environment Action Programme (3) identifies climate change as a priority for action. That Programme recognises that the Community is committed to achieving an 8 % reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases in the period from 2008 to 2012 compared to 1990 levels, and that, in the longer-term, global emissions of greenhouse gases will need to be reduced by approximately 70 % compared to 1990 levels. |

| (2) | The ultimate objective of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which was approved by Council Decision 94/69/EC of 15 December 1993 concerning the conclusion of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (4), is to achieve stabilisation of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level which prevents dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. |

| (3) | Council Decision 2002/358/EC of 25 April 2002 concerning the approval, on behalf of the European Community, of the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the joint fulfilment of commitments thereunder (5) commits the Community and its Member States to reduce their aggregate anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases listed in Annex A to the Kyoto Protocol by 8 % compared to 1990 levels in the period from 2008 to 2012. |

| (4) | Annex II of Decision 2002/358/EC lays down different reduction targets for individual Member States. The Member States are therefore required to take individual measures. Individual Member States must therefore also be able to take, or maintain, adequate measures to attain their national reduction targets. |

(5)

Fluorinated greenhouse gases controlled under the Kyoto Protocol and this Regulation are strong greenhouse gases, of which some are up to 23 900 times more damaging than CO2, or have atmospheric lives of up to 50 000 years.

| (6) | Provision should be made for the prevention and minimisation of emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases, without prejudice to Council Directive 75/442/EEC of 15 July 1975 on waste (6), Council Directive 96/61/EC of 24 September 1996 concerning integrated pollution prevention and control (7), Directive 2000/53/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 September 2000 on end-of-life vehicles (8) and Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) (9). |

| (7) | The primary objective of this Regulation is to reduce the emissions of the fluorinated greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol and thus to protect the environment. The legal base should therefore be Article 175(1) of the Treaty. |

| (8) | Nevertheless, it is appropriate to take measures at Community level on the basis of Article 95 of the Treaty to harmonise requirements on the use of fluorinated greenhouse gases and the marketing and labelling of products and equipment containing fluorinated greenhouse gases. Marketing and use restrictions for certain applications of fluorinated greenhouse gases are considered appropriate where viable alternatives are available and improvement of containment and recovery is not feasible. Voluntary initiatives by some industry sectors should also be taken into account, as well as the fact that the development of alternatives is still ongoing. |

(9)

The application and enforcement of this Regulation should spur technological innovation by encouraging continued development of alternative technologies and transition to already existing technologies that are more environmentally friendly.

| (10) | This Regulation should not prevent Member States from maintaining or introducing more stringent protective measures. The differences that exist between Member States with regard to their established practices of restricting certain fluorinated greenhouse gases require that Member States should have that possibility. This is necessary in order to comply with the provisions of the Treaty stipulating a high level of protection in the field of the environment, as specified in Article 174(2) and in Article 95(3) thereof, and also to enable Member States to implement their plans for reducing fluorinated greenhouse gases in accordance with the Kyoto Protocol. |

| (11) | The placing on the market of the products and equipment containing fluorinated greenhouse gases as listed in Annex II is detrimental to the objectives and commitments of the Community and its Member States with regard to climate change and it is therefore necessary to restrict the placing on the market of these products and equipment. This could also be the case concerning other applications containing fluorinated greenhouse gases and therefore the need for an extension of Annex II should be reviewed, taking account of the environmental benefits, the technical feasibility and cost effectiveness. |

Part 2

Method of calculating the total global warming potential (GWP) for a preparation

The total GWP for a preparation is a weighted average, derived from the sum of the weight fractions of the individual substances multiplied by their GWPs.

Σ (Substance X % x GWP) + (Substance Y % x GWP) + ... (Substance N % x GWP)

where % is the contribution by weight with a weight tolerance of +/- 1 %.

For example: applying the formula to a theoretical blend of gases consisting of 23 % HFC-32; 25 % HFC-125 and 52 % HFC-134a;

Σ (23 % x 550) + (25 % x 3400) + (52 % x 1300)

→ Total GWP = 1652,5

Position of the European Parliament adopted at second reading on 26 October 2005 with a view to the adoption of Directive 2005/.../EC of the European Parliament and of the Council relating to emissions from air conditioning systems in motor vehicles and amending Council Directive 70/156/EEC

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),

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

Whereas:

| (1) | The internal market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital must be ensured, and to that end a Community type-approval system for motor vehicles is in place. The technical requirements for the type-approval of motor vehicles with regard to air conditioning systems should be harmonised to avoid the adoption of requirements that differ from one Member State to another and to ensure the proper functioning of the internal market. |

(1)

The internal market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital must be ensured, and to that end a Community type-approval system for motor vehicles is in place. The technical requirements for the type-approval of motor vehicles with regard to air conditioning systems should be harmonised to avoid the adoption of requirements that differ from one Member State to another and to ensure the proper functioning of the internal market.

| (2) | A growing number of Member States intend to regulate the use of air conditioning systems in motor vehicles as a consequence of Council Decision 2002/358/EC of 25 April 2002 concerning the approval, on behalf of the European Community, of the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the joint fulfilment of commitments thereunder (3). The Decision commits the Community and its Member States to reduce their aggregate anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases listed in Annex A to the Kyoto Protocol by 8 % compared to 1990 levels in the period from 2008 to 2012. The uncoordinated implementation of these commitments carries the risk of creating barriers to the free movement of motor vehicles in the Community. Therefore it is appropriate to lay down the requirements to be fulfilled by air conditioning systems fitted to vehicles in order to be allowed on the market and to prohibit from a certain date air conditioning systems designed to contain fluorinated greenhouse gases with a global warming potential higher than 150. |

Therefore it is appropriate to lay down the requirements to be fulfilled by air conditioning systems fitted to vehicles in order to be allowed on the market and to prohibit from a certain date air conditioning systems designed to contain fluorinated greenhouse gases with a global warming potential higher than 150.

| (3) | Emissions of hydrofluorocarbon-134a (HFC-134a), which has a global warming potential of 1300, from air-conditioning systems in motor vehicles are of growing concern because of their impact on climate change. Cost-effective and safe alternatives to HFC-134a are expected to be available in the near future. A review should be carried out to establish, in the light of progress in potential containment of emissions from, or replacement of, fluorinated greenhouse gases in such systems, whether this Directive should be extended to other categories of motor vehicle and whether the provisions concerning the global warming potential of these gases should be amended, taking account of technological and scientific developments and the need to respect industrial product planning timescales. |

| (4) | In order to ensure that the prohibition of certain fluorinated greenhouse gases is effective, there is a need to limit the possibility of retrofitting motor vehicles with air conditioning systems designed to contain fluorinated greenhouse gases with a global warming potential higher than 150 and to prohibit filling air conditioning systems with such gases. |

In order to ensure that the prohibition of certain fluorinated greenhouse gases is effective, there is a need to limit the possibility of retrofitting motor vehicles with air conditioning systems designed to contain fluorinated greenhouse gases with a global warming potential higher than 150 and to prohibit filling air conditioning systems with such gases.

| (5) | In order to limit the emissions of certain fluorinated greenhouse gases from air conditioning systems in motor vehicles it is necessary to establish limit values for leakage rates and the test procedure for the assessment of leakage in air conditioning systems designed to contain fluorinated greenhouse gases with a global warming potential higher than 150 which are fitted to motor vehicles. |

  and this Directive, which both contribute to the reduction of emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases, should be adopted and published in the Official Journal of the European Union simultaneously.

| (7) | Any manufacturer of vehicles should make available to the approval authority all relevant technical information regarding the installed air conditioning systems and the gases used in them. In the case of air conditioning systems designed to contain fluorinated greenhouse gases with a global warming potential higher than 150, the manufacturer should also make available the leakage rate of these systems. |

The measures necessary for the implementation of this Directive should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (5).

| (9) | This Directive is one of the separate directives of the EC type-approval procedure which was established by Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (6). Consequently, Directive 70/156/EEC should be amended accordingly. |

This Directive is one of the separate directives of the EC type-approval procedure which was established by Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (6). Consequently, Directive 70/156/EEC should be amended accordingly.

| (10) | Since the objectives of this Directive, namely to control the leakage of the specific fluorinated greenhouse gases in the air conditioning systems fitted to vehicles and to prohibit from a certain date air conditioning systems designed to contain fluorinated greenhouse gases with a global warming potential higher than 150, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States acting alone and can therefore, by reason of the scale and effects of this Directive, 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 Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives. |

Since the objectives of this Directive, namely to control the leakage of the specific fluorinated greenhouse gases in the air conditioning systems fitted to vehicles and to prohibit from a certain date air conditioning systems designed to contain fluorinated greenhouse gases with a global warming potential higher than 150, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States acting alone and can therefore, by reason of the scale and effects of this Directive, 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 Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.

| (11) | In accordance with paragraph 34 of the Interinstitutional agreement on better law-making (7), Member States are encouraged to draw up, for themselves and in the interests of the Community, their own tables illustrating, as far as possible, the correlation between this Directive and the transposition measures, and to make them public, |

Part 2

Method of calculating the total global warming potential (GWP) for a preparation

The total GWP for a preparation is a weighted average, derived from the sum of the weight fractions of the individual substances multiplied by their GWPs.

Σ (Substance X % x GWP) + (Substance Y % x GWP) + ... (Substance N % x GWP)

where % is the contribution by weight with a weight tolerance of +/- 1 %.

For example: applying the formula to a theoretical blend of gases consisting of 23 % HFC-32; 25 % HFC-125 and 52 % HFC-134a;

Σ (23 % x 550) + (25 % x 3400) + (52 % x 1300)

→ Total GWP = 1652,5.

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 26 October 2005 with a view to the adoption of Directive 2005/.../EC of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Directive 2000/14/EC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the noise emission in the environment by equipment for use outdoors

(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 9 5 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

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

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (2),

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

Whereas:

| (1) | Directive 2000/14/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 May 2000 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the noise emission in the environment by equipment for use outdoors (4) has been the subject of a review by a group of experts set up by the Commission services, the Working Group on Outdoor Equipment. |

(1)

Directive 2000/14/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 May 2000 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the noise emission in the environment by equipment for use outdoors (4) has been the subject of a review by a group of experts set up by the Commission services, the Working Group on Outdoor Equipment.

| (2) | In its report dated 8 July 2004, the Working Group on Outdoor Equipment concluded that a number of the stage II limits due to be mandatorily applied as from 3 January 2006 were not technically feasible. However, the intention was never to restrict the placing on the market or putting into service of equipment solely based on technical feasibility. |

(2)

In its report dated 8 July 2004, the Working Group on Outdoor Equipment concluded that a number of the stage II limits due to be mandatorily applied as from 3 January 2006 were not technically feasible. However, the intention was never to restrict the placing on the market or putting into service of equipment solely based on technical feasibility.

| (3) | It is therefore necessary to provide that certain types of equipment listed in Article 12 of Directive 2000/14/EC, which would not be able to meet the stage II limits by 3 January 2006 solely for technical reasons, can still be placed on the market and/or put into service by that date. |

It is therefore necessary to provide that certain types of equipment listed in Article 12 of Directive 2000/14/EC, which would not be able to meet the stage II limits by 3 January 2006 solely for technical reasons, can still be placed on the market and/or put into service by that date.

| (4) | The experience of the first five years of application of Directive 2000/14/EC has demonstrated that more time is needed to fulfil the provisions under Articles 16 and 20 thereof and also the need to review the Directive with a view to its possible amendment, in particular with respect to the stage II limits referred to therein. It is therefore necessary to extend the deadline for submission of the report to the European Parliament and to the Council on the Commission's experience in implementing and administering Directive 2000/14/EC as referred to in Article 20(1) of that Directive by two years. |

It is therefore necessary to extend the deadline for submission of the report to the European Parliament and to the Council on the Commission's experience in implementing and administering Directive 2000/14/EC as referred to in Article 20(1) of that Directive by two years.

| (5) | Article 20(3) of Directive 2000/14/EC provides for the submission, by the Commission, of a report to the European Parliament and to the Council on whether, and to what extent, technical progress allows a reduction of limit values for lawnmowers and lawn trimmers/lawn-edge trimmers. In view of the fact that the obligations contained at Article 20(1) are more prescriptive than those at Article 20(3) and in order to avoid duplication of effort it is appropriate to include these types of equipment in the general report provided for in Article 20(1) of the Directive. Consequently the separate reporting obligation in Article 20(3) of the Directive should be deleted. |

| (6) | Since the objectives of those amendments, namely, to ensure the ongoing functioning of the internal market by requiring equipment used outdoors to comply with harmonised environmental noise provisions, cannot be sufficiently achieved by Member States acting alone and can therefore, by reason of their scale and effects, 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, these amendments do not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives by limiting their scope to those types of equipment for which compliance with the stage II limits is presently impossible for technical reasons. |

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 26 October 2005 with a view to the adoption of European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No .../2005 determining the general rules for the granting of Community financial aid in the field of the trans-European transport and energy networks and amending Council Regulation (EC) No 2236/95

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 156 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the 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) | The Barcelona Council of 15 and 16 March 2002 underlined in its conclusions that strong and integrated networks in the energy and transport sectors are a keystone in the European internal market and that better use of the existing networks and the setting up of missing links will make it possible to increase effectiveness and competitiveness and to guarantee an appropriate level of quality, and the reduction of saturation points and, therefore, better long-term viability. These needs come within the framework of the strategy adopted by the Heads of State and government at the European Council held in Lisbon on 23 and 24 March 2000, which has since then been regularly referred to. |

| (2) | The European Council of 12 and 13 December 2003 approved the European Action for Growth, calling on the Commission to re-orient expenditure, if necessary, towards investments in physical capital, in particular investments in the infrastructure of the trans-European networks (TENs), the priority projects of which represent essential elements to strengthen the cohesion of the internal market. |

| (3) | The delays recorded for the realisation of effective trans-European connections, in particular the cross-border sections, are likely to disable seriously the competitiveness of the European Union, its Member States and peripheral regions which will not be able, or will no longer be able, to profit fully from the beneficial effects of the single market. |

| (4) | In Decision No 1692/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 1996 on Community guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network
   (3), as amended by Decision No 884/2004/EC, the cost between now and 2020 to supplement the trans-European transport network (TEN-T) was considered at EUR 600 billion. Investments necessary for the priority projects within the meaning of Annex III of that Decision alone account for almost EUR 140 billion for the period 2007-2013. |

| (5) | In its resolution of 8 June 2005 on Policy Challenges and Budgetary Means of the enlarged Union 2007-2013 (4), the European Parliament underlined the strategic importance of transport networks for final consolidation of the single market and for closer EU relations with candidate, pre-candidate and ‘ring of friends’ countries. Moreover it also expressed its willingness to examine innovative financing instruments such as loan guarantees, European concessions, European loans and an interest relief fund. |

Moreover it also expressed its willingness to examine innovative financing instruments such as loan guarantees, European concessions, European loans and an interest relief fund.

| (6) | To achieve these goals, both the Council and Parliament put forward the need to strengthen and adapt the financial instruments through an increase in the level of Community co-financing, by providing for the possibility of applying a higher Community co-financing rate, in particular for projects characterised by their cross-border nature, their transit function, or the crossing of natural barriers. |

There remains nevertheless a tributary of implementation rules which deserve simplification and an overall budget of limited resources. It appears therefore necessary, in addition to public national and private financing, to increase Community aid in terms of both amounts and rates of intervention, with a view to strengthening the leverage action of the Community funds and thus making it possible to carry out the priority projects decided upon. |

| (11) | By this Regulation, it is appropriate to establish a programme determining the general rules for the granting of Community financial aid in the field of the trans-European transport and energy networks.

| (12) | Given that the objective of implementation of the trans-European transport and energy networks cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States acting alone, taking into account, in particular, the need for coordination of the national operations, and can, therefore, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity 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 to achieve that objective. |

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 26 October 2005 with a view to the adoption of Directive 2006/.../EC of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Directive 95/2/EC on food additives other than colours and sweeteners and Directive 94/35/EC on sweeteners for use in foodstuffs

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 Scientific Committee on Food and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA),

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

Whereas:

| (1) | Food additives may be approved for use in foodstuffs only if they comply with Annex II to Council Directive 89/107/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning food additives authorised for use in foodstuffs intended for human consumption (3). |

(1)

Food additives may be approved for use in foodstuffs only if they comply with Annex II to Council Directive 89/107/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning food additives authorised for use in foodstuffs intended for human consumption (3).

| (2) | Directive 95/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 February 1995 on food additives other than colours and sweeteners (4) lays down a list of food additives that may be used in the Community and the conditions for their use. |

(2)

Directive 95/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 February 1995 on food additives other than colours and sweeteners (4) lays down a list of food additives that may be used in the Community and the conditions for their use.

| (3) | Directive 94/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 June 1994 on sweeteners for use in foodstuffs (5) lays down a list of sweeteners that may be used in the Community and the conditions for their use. |

(3)

Directive 94/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 June 1994 on sweeteners for use in foodstuffs (5) lays down a list of sweeteners that may be used in the Community and the conditions for their use.

| (4) | There have been technical developments in the field of food additives since the adoption of Directives 95/2/EC and 94/35/EC. These Directives should be adapted to take account of those developments. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

There have been technical developments in the field of food additives since the adoption of Directives 95/2/EC and 94/35/EC. These Directives should be adapted to take account of those developments.

| (5) | On the basis of an opinion of EFSA, expressed on 26 November 2003, changes are made to current authorisations in order to keep the level of nitrosamines as low as possible by lowering the levels of nitrites and nitrates added to food whilst maintaining the microbiological safety of food products. EFSA recommends that the levels of nitrite and nitrate are set in the legislation as ‘added amount’. EFSA is of the opinion that the added amount of nitrite rather than the residual amount contributes to the inhibitory activity against C. botulinum. The current provisions should be amended in such a way that the maximum levels permitted, as mentioned by EFSA, in non-heat-treated or heat-treated meat products, in cheese and in fish are expressed as amounts added. Exceptionally, however, for certain traditionally-manufactured meat products maximum residual levels should be set,
  on the condition that the products are adequately specified and identified. The levels set should ensure that the acceptable daily intake (ADI) established by the Scientific Committee on Food in 1990 is not exceeded. Products which are not specifically named in the legislation, but which are traditionally produced in a similar manner (i.e. similar products) can if necessary be categorised in accordance with Articles 5 and 6 of Directive 95/2/EC. For cheese, the level should be expressed as the amount added to the cheese milk. If a process is used where addition of nitrate follows removal of whey and addition of water, this should lead to levels identical to those which would have been obtained if the nitrate had been added directly to the cheese milk. |

| (6) | Directive 2003/114/EC amending Directive 95/2/EC on food additives other than colours and sweeteners required the Commission and EFSA to review the conditions for the use of E 214-219 p-hydroxybenzoates and their sodium salts before 1 July 2004. EFSA has assessed the information on the safety of p-hydroxybenzoates and expressed its opinion on 13 July 2004. EFSA established a full-group acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 0-10 mg/kg body weight for the sum of methyl and ethyl p-hydroxybenzoic acid esters and their sodium salts. EFSA considered that propyl paraben should not be included in this group ADI because propyl paraben, contrary to methyl and ethyl paraben, had effects on sex hormones and the male reproductive organs in juvenile rats. In these circumstances and because of the lack of clear no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL), EFSA was unable to recommend an ADI for propyl paraben. It is necessary to withdraw E 216 propyl p-hydroxybenzoate and E 217 sodium propyl p-hydroxybenzoate from Directive 95/2/EC. In addition, it is necessary to withdraw the use of p-hydroxybenzoates in liquid dietary food supplements. |

| (7) | In April 2004, the Commission suspended the placing on the market and import of jelly mini-cups containing gel-forming food additives derived from seaweed and certain gums due to risk of choking on these products (Decision 2004/374/EC (6)). Following a review of that Decision it is necessary to exclude the use of certain gel-forming food additives in jelly mini-cups. |

| (8) | The Scientific Committee on Food has assessed the information on the safety of erythritol and expressed its opinion on 5 March 2003. The Committee concluded that the use of erythritol as a food additive is acceptable. The Committee also notes that erythritol has a laxative effect, but at a higher dose than other polyols. Erythritol has many technical non-sweetening properties that are important in a wide range of foods, from confectionery to dairy products. These include functions such as flavour enhancer, carrier, humectant, stabiliser, thickener, bulking agent and sequestrant. It is necessary to permit the use of erythritol in the same food applications as the other currently permitted polyols. In addition, it is necessary to amend Directive 94/35/EC, as erythritol can also be used for sweetening purposes like the other currently-permitted
  polyols. |

| (9) | The Scientific Committee on Food has assessed the information on the safety of soybean hemicellu-lose and expressed its opinion on 4 April 2003. The Committee concluded that the use of soybean hemicellulose is acceptable in certain foods requested and at certain inclusion levels. It is therefore appropriate to permit such use for certain purposes.
  In order to facilitate matters for allergy sufferers, however, such use should not be permitted for unprocessed foods in which soybean is not expected to be found. In any case, consumers should be informed when products contain hemicellulose derived from soybean in accordance with the provisions of Directive 2000/13/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 March 2000 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs (7)

| Amendment 1 |
| Recital 3 |
| (3) Point 3.3.2 of the The Hague Programme states that the approximation of substantive criminal law serves the same purposes and concerns areas of particular serious crime with cross border dimensions and that priority should be given to areas of crime that are specifically mentioned in the treaties. The definition of offences relating to participation in a criminal organisation should therefore be approximated in all the Member States. Moreover, penalties corresponding to the seriousness of these offences should be envisaged against natural and legal persons who committed them or are responsible for their commission. | (3) Point 3.3.2 of the The Hague Programme states that the approximation of substantive criminal law serves the same purposes and concerns areas of particular serious crime with cross border dimensions and that priority should be given to areas of crime that are specifically mentioned in the treaties.

  However, the Member States are also free to classify other groups of persons as criminal organisations, e.g. groups whose purpose is not that of financial or other material gain or which commit offences punishable by deprivation of liberty or a detention order of a maximum of less than four years.
  Moreover, penalties corresponding to die seriousness of these offences should be envisaged against natural and legal persons who committed them or are responsible for their commission. |

| Recital 5a (new) |
| | (5a) Given that the development and structuring of highly efficient and mobile international criminal networks slows down investigations, and in order to provide a more appropriate response to this phenomenon and to increase the effectiveness of cooperation between Member States, it would be useful to think about ways of promoting coordinated initiatives at Member State level to develop appropriate instruments such as special inquiry and infiltration methods and techniques, as well as rules on those who turn Queen's evidence, which already exist in some Member States. |

4.   Human rights in Western Sahara (Decision of the Conference of Presidents)

At its meeting of 26.10.2005, the Conference of Presidents had decided to propose that, exceptionally, the debate on human rights in Western Sahara, which was on the agenda that afternoon, should not be wound up with a vote on a motion for resolution so as not to jeopardise the forthcoming visit to the region by an ad hoc delegation.

The following spoke: Hans-Gert Poettering, on behalf of the PPE-DE Group, and Francis Wurtz, on behalf of the GUE/NGL Group.

Parliament rejected the proposal (the debate on human rights in Western Sahara would thus be wound up with a vote on a motion for resolution).
