Statements relating to Directive (EU) 2019/1153 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019 laying down rules facilitating the use of financial and other information for the prevention, detection, investigation or prosecution of certain criminal offences, and repealing Council Decision 2000/642/JHA (1)

(2019/C 234/01)

Statement by the European Parliament on Article 9

The European Parliament regrets that, against the original proposal, the Directive does not include rules on precise deadlines and IT channels for the exchange of information between Financial Intelligence Units of different Member States. The European Parliament also regrets that the scope of application of this Article has been limited to cases of terrorism and organised crime associated with terrorism, and does not cover, as originally proposed, all types of serious criminal offences, which can also have serious detrimental effects on our societies. The European Parliament urges the Commission to re-examine this issue as part of its reports on the implementation and evaluation of this Directive and of the Anti-Money Laundering Directive, and specifically as part of its assessment under Article 21. The European Parliament will closely follow and analyse those reports and assessments and will come up with its own recommendations, if necessary.

Statement by the Commission

In relation to Article 9 of the Directive, the Commission regrets that, against its original proposal, the Directive does not include rules on precise deadlines and IT channels for the exchange of information between Financial Intelligence Units of different Member States. The Commission also regrets that the scope of application of this Article has been limited to cases of terrorism and organised crime associated with terrorism, and does not cover all types of serious criminal offences, as originally proposed. The Commission will further reflect on Financial Intelligence Unit to Financial Intelligence Unit cooperation, notably as part of its reports on the implementation of this Directive and of the Anti-Money Laundering Directive.

Joint declaration of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on reassessing the external assigned revenue and borrowing and lending provisions in the Financial Regulation

(2020/C 444 I/06)

Against the background of the NGEU, the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission agree that in the framework of the next revision of the Financial Regulation, the following issues will be assessed and as appropriate revised:

— the provisions on the external assigned revenue, in particular as referred to in Article 21(5) of the Financial Regulation;

— the provisions on reporting on borrowing and lending operations.

The three institutions acknowledge that the existing rules on audits and discharge procedure apply to assigned revenue.
Statement by the Commission relating to Regulation (EU) 2021/691 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers (EGF) and repealing Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013

(2021/C 161 I/01)

In the Inter-institutional Agreement between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline, on cooperation in budgetary matters and on sound financial management, as well as on new own resources, including a roadmap for the introduction of new own resources, Points 30 to 33 require the Commission to make available an integrated and interoperable information and monitoring system including a single data-mining and risk-scoring tool to access and analyse the required data with a view to a generalised application by Member States. In addition, the three institutions agreed to sincerely cooperate, in the course of the legislative procedure relating to the relevant basic acts, to ensure the follow up to the European Council conclusions of July 2020 regarding this element.

The Commission considers that the agreement reached by the co-legislators under Article 23(2) on the obligatory use of a single data-mining tool and the collection and analysis of data on the beneficial owners of the recipients of funding is not sufficient to enhance the protection of the Union budget and NextGenerationEU against fraud and irregularities and to ensure efficient checks on conflicts of interests, irregularities, issues of double funding, and criminal misuse of the funds. Therefore, the approach agreed by the co-legislators in the Regulation European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers does not appropriately reflect the desired ambition and spirit of the Inter-institutional Agreement.
Joint Declaration of the Commission, the Council and the European Parliament on an instrument to deter and counteract coercive actions by third countries

(2021/C 49/01)

The Commission takes note of the concerns of the Parliament and Member States as to the practices of certain third countries to seek to coerce the Union and/or its Member States to take or withdraw particular policy measures. The Commission shares the view that such practices raise significant concerns. The Commission confirms its intention to further examine a possible instrument, which could be adopted in order to dissuade or offset coercive actions by third countries and which would allow the expeditious adoption of countermeasures triggered by such actions. The Commission intends to continue its assessment and on the basis of that assessment, taking into account all relevant circumstances, adopt a legislative proposal providing for a mechanism allowing to dissuade or offset such actions in a manner consistent with international law. As announced in the Letter of Intent of the President of the Commission to the President of the Parliament and President in office of the Council of 16 September 2020 the Commission shall adopt the proposal in any case no later than the end of 2021, or earlier, should the need arise as a result of coercive action taken by a third country.

The Council and the European Parliament take note of the intention of the Commission to submit a proposal for an instrument to deter and counteract coercive actions by third countries. Both institutions are committed to fulfil their institutional role as co-legislators and to consider the proposal in a timely manner, taking into account the Union’s obligations under public international law and WTO law as well as relevant developments in international trade.
Statement of the European Parliament on the names of beneficiaries

(2021/C 380 I/03)

The European Parliament notes that Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2021/1529 establishing the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA III) refers to beneficiaries eligible for funding under this Instrument. The European Parliament considers that constitutional names shall be used for the beneficiaries listed, and Kosovo should be referred to as Republic of Kosovo.
Statement by the Commission on the exclusive competence in respect of Regulation (EU) 2022/1031 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1)

(2022/C 248/02)

As confirmed in the Opinion 2/15 of the Court of Justice, the participation of third-country economic operators, goods and services in the Union’s procurement procedures falls within the scope of the common commercial policy for which, as explicitly stated in Article 3(1)(e) TFEU, the Union has exclusive competence. Therefore, Member States and their contracting authorities and contracting entities shall not adopt or maintain any legislative or other generally applicable measures governing access by third-country economic operators, goods and services beyond those applied in accordance with this Regulation and other Union legislation.

(1) Regulation (EU) 2022/1031 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 June 2022 on the access of third-country economic operators, goods and services to the Union’s public procurement and concession markets and procedures supporting negotiations on access of Union economic operators, goods and services to the public procurement and concession markets of third countries (International Procurement Instrument - IPI) (OJ L173, 30.6.2022, p. 1).
