European Parliament decision of 8 March 2011 on the request for waiver of the immunity of Elmar Brok (2010/2283(IMM))

2012/C 199 E/26

The European Parliament,

— having regard to the request for waiver of the immunity of Elmar Brok, forwarded by the German authorities on 28 September 2010 and announced in plenary sitting on 22 November 2010,

— having heard Elmar Brok in accordance with Rule 7(3) of its Rules of Procedure,

— having regard to Articles 8 and 9 of the Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Union of 8 April 1965 and Article 6(2) of the Act of 20 September 1976 concerning the election of the members of the European Parliament by direct universal suffrage,

— having regard to the judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union of 12 May 1964 and 10 July 1986 (1),

— having regard to Article 46 of the German Basic Law (Grundgesetz),

— having regard to the German Fiscal Code (Abgabenordnung), in particular Section 370 thereof,

— having regard to Rules 6(2) and 7 of its Rules of Procedure,

— having regard to the report of the Committee on Legal Affairs (A7-0047/2011),

A. whereas the facts set out in the explanatory statement constitute a clear case of fumus persecutionis;

B. whereas criminal charges have been brought against a well-known political figure in respect of a sum and in circumstances which would, in the case of an ordinary citizen, have attracted merely administrative proceedings;

C. whereas, moreover, the public prosecutor not only sought to withhold knowledge of the charge from Mr Brok on spurious and highly derogatory grounds for no due cause, but also made sure that the case received great publicity in the media, thus inflicting the maximum amount of damage on the Member concerned;

D. whereas it is therefore plain that the case is one of fumus persecutionis in that it appears that the proceedings were brought with the sole aim of damaging the reputation of the Member concerned;

E. whereas it would therefore be completely inappropriate to waive the Member’s immunity,

1. Decides not to waive the immunity of Elmar Brok;

2. Instructs its President to forward this decision and the report of its competent committee immediately to the appropriate authorities of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Decides to append the following interpretation to Rule 156(6): ‘On a proposal from the President, an oral amendment, or any other oral modification, shall be treated in the same way as an amendment not distributed in all the official languages. If the President considers it admissible under Rule 157(3), and save in the case of objection under Rule 156(6), it shall be put to the vote in accordance with the order of voting established. In committee, the number of votes needed to object to such an amendment or such a modification is established on the basis of Rule 196 proportionally to that applicable in plenary, rounded up where necessary to the nearest complete number.’

Non-objection to a delegated act: conditions for making a declaration of performance on construction products available on a website

European Parliament decision to raise no objections to the Commission delegated regulation of 30 October 2013 on the conditions for making a declaration of performance on construction products available on a website (C(2013)7086 — 2013/2928(DEA))

(2016/C 468/53)

The European Parliament,

— having regard to the Commission delegated regulation (C(2013)7086),

— having regard to the Commission’s letter of 14 November 2013 asking Parliament to declare that it will raise no objections to the delegated regulation,

— having regard to Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

— having regard to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011 laying down harmonised conditions for the marketing of construction products and repealing Council Directive 89/106/EEC (1) (CPR), and in particular Articles 7(3) and 63(1) thereof,

— having regard to Rule 87a(6) of its Rules of Procedure,

— having regard to the fact that no objections have been raised within the period laid down in the third and fourth indents of Rule 87a(6) of its Rules of Procedure, which expired on 10 December 2013,

A. whereas it is important to ensure that the delegated regulation on e-supply enters into force as soon as possible, given that the substantial provisions of the basic legislative act, including those on providing declarations of performance, apply from 1 July 2013;

B. whereas the possibility to make these declarations available on the internet would, in accordance with the wish of the legislator, allow the manufacturers of construction products to reduce costs and also increase the flexibility of the construction sector as such;

C. whereas the delegated regulation should have been prepared by the Commission in advance, in order to avoid the unfortunate delay in permitting a derogation from the obligation for manufacturers to provide paper or electronic copies of a declaration of performance for each product which is made available on the market;

D. whereas it is of utmost importance that both Parliament and the Council can exercise their rights as co-legislators as defined in the Treaties, including the decision as to which elements are to be delegated to the Commission in future basic legislative acts, and that Parliament is able to take part in consultations — alongside Member States’ experts and other stakeholders — prior to the adoption of a delegated act and in a transparent manner;

1. Declares that it has no objections to the delegated regulation;

2. Instructs its President to forward this decision to the Council and the Commission.

(1) OJ L 88, 4.4.2011, p. 5.
F.

whereas this delegated regulation may only enter into force at the end of the scrutiny period of Parliament and the Council, if no objection has been expressed either by Parliament or the Council, or if before the expiry of that period both Parliament and the Council have informed the Commission that they will not object; whereas the scrutiny period is set under Article 115(5) of the BRRD Directive as three months from the date of notification, i.e. until 21 January 2015, and it may be extended by a further three-month period;
When voting on any proposal for a legislative act, whether by way of a single and/or final vote , Parliament shall vote by roll call using the electronic voting system .

When deciding on the basis of a report, Parliament shall take any single and/or final vote by roll call in accordance with Rule 167(2) . The vote on amendments shall be taken by roll call only pursuant to a request made pursuant to Rule 167.

having regard to Article 13 and Article 10(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 establishing a European Supervisory Authority (European Banking Authority, EBA), amending Decision No 716/2009/EC and repealing Commission Decision 2009/78/EC (4), of Regulation (EU) No 1094/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 establishing a European Supervisory Authority (European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority, EIOPA), amending Decision No 716/2009/EC and repealing Commission Decision 2009/79/EC (5), and of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 establishing a European Supervisory Authority (European Securities and Markets Authority, ESMA), amending Decision No 716/2009/EC and repealing Commission Decision 2009/77/EC (6),
A.

whereas the Commission only endorsed the draft regulatory technical standard (RTS) 16 months after having received it from the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on 26 May 2016; whereas it did not formally consult ESMA over this period concerning its amendments to this draft RTS and did not inform the co-legislators or the industry of the reasons for delay in endorsement beyond the three months laid down in Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010; whereas the fact that the Commission overran the deadline for adopting the draft RTS by more than a year without informing the co-legislators is unacceptable;
1.

Decides that the numerical strength of the standing committees and subcommittees shall be as follows: I. Committee on Foreign Affairs: 71 members, II. Committee on Development: 26 members, III. Committee on International Trade: 41 members, IV. Committee on Budgets: 41 members, V. Committee on Budgetary Control: 30 members, VI. Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs: 60 members, VII.

B.

whereas the substance group is used for the production of in-vitro diagnostic kits and in the development of vaccines to combat COVID-19 and possibly also in the production of these vaccines; whereas it is therefore of paramount importance to ensure that the substance group can continue to be used for specific purposes, for the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of COVID-19 after 4 January 2021, as an exceptional measure for the protection of public health;
P.

whereas on 4 November 2019 the Second Chamber of the Spanish Tribunal Supremo ordered to issue ‘(i)n order for criminal proceedings to take place […] as appropriate: a national arrest warrant(s), European arrest warrant(s) or an international arrest warrant(s) for the purposes of extradition’ in respect of, among others, Clara Ponsatí Obiols, who was confirmed to be in contempt of court; whereas, as explained in the request for the waiver of immunity, on 3 February 2020 the decision with regard to the issuing of the national search, arrest and detention warrant as well as the European arrest warrant and the international search and arrest warrant against Clara Ponsatí Obiols for the purpose of her extradition was upheld and, at the same time, a request for the waiver of her immunity was made in order to proceed with the execution of the European arrest warrant that had been issued;

Fighting colorectal cancer in the European Union

P7_TA(2010)0451

Declaration of the European Parliament of 25 November 2010 on fighting colorectal cancer in the European Union

2012/C 99 E/24

The European Parliament,

— having regard to Rule 123 of its Rules of Procedure,

A. whereas in the EU there are over 400 000 new cases of colorectal cancer (CRC) and 200 000 deaths from it per annum, CRC being the second most frequent cause of death from cancer,

B. whereas CRC is associated with lifestyle factors (obesity, lack of exercise, alcohol consumption and smoking) and tackling these factors will decrease CRC development,

C. whereas screening in some EU countries has already lowered CRC mortality, while in others screening activities have not been initiated,

D. whereas early detection of CRC will not only lead to a reduction in the 40 % mortality rate, but will also significantly reduce treatment costs,

E. whereas, according to the Commission, the fight against CRC should be a priority in public health, as death from CRC is preventable with the medical tools available in the EU,

1. Calls on the Commission and the Member States: — to support awareness campaigns in the EU on lifestyle factors which cause CRC, aimed particularly at teenagers and young adults, — to encourage implementation of CRC screening best practice in all EU countries and to publish progress reports every two years, — to make dissemination of CRC screening-related research and knowledge a priority in upcoming work programmes of Research Framework Programme 7 and the EU Health Programme, — to introduce nationwide CRC screening, in accordance with EU guidelines;

2. Instructs its President to forward this declaration, together with the names of the signatories (1), to the Council, the Commission and the parliaments of the Member States.

(1) The list of signatories is published in Annex 1 to the Minutes of 25 November 2010 (P7_PV(2010)11-25(ANN1)).
