Resolution on threats to the right to life of disabled persons

The European Parliament,

- having regard to the European Convention on Human Rights,

- having regard to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,

- having regard to its opinion on the biomedicine and health programme under the fourth research framework programme,

A. referring to the visit by the Australian bio-ethicist, Peter Singer, to Europe,

B. whereas there are scientists in and outside Europe who assert that disabled persons have no unrestricted right to life,

C. whereas the right to life even of new-born children generally is being called into question,

D. whereas many disabled persons see such theses as direct threats to their lives,

E. whereas such theses are not only advanced by individuals but are increasingly finding acceptance in the scientific world,

F. whereas it is essential to reject and treat with contempt theses which resurrect in any way the concept of life without value since such theses are incompatible with universally valid human rights,

1. Repudiates forcefully the thesis that disabled persons, patients in a persistent vegetative state and new-born children have no unrestricted right to life;

2. Reaffirms its unshakable conviction that the right to life must be recognized in respect of every human being independently of his or her state of health, gender, race or age;

3. Is opposed to the practice of the active killing by doctors of patients in a persistent vegetative state and disabled new-born children, since it contradicts the principle of equality;

4. Calls on parliaments, governments and associations within and without the European Union decisively to counteract attacks on the right to life of disabled persons and new-born children;

5. Calls on the Commission to treat as part of its fundamental responsibilities the task of ensuring that such theses are not disseminated, let alone put into practice;

6. Calls on the Commission to refrain in its research programme in the field of biomedicine and health from making remarks such as 'the high prevalence of mental illnesses and the increasing incidence of neurodegenerative diseases represent an immense economic and social burden in the EU Member States';

7. Calls on the Commission, in the context of bioethical research, to take into account the fundamental principles of human rights;

8. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the governments of the Member States, the Commission and the Council of Europe.
20.

The two sets of market players will be required to take organisational and technical measures to manage the risks posed to the security of networks and information systems and to prevent and to minimise the impact of incidents affecting the security of those systems. Moreover, incidents having a certain level of impact on the services in question will have to be notified to the national competent authorities or to CSIRTs. The Directive provides for criteria to determine the level of the impact of such incidents.

Article 10 is replaced by the following: ‘Article 10 Exercise of the delegation 1. The power to adopt delegated acts is conferred on the Commission subject to the conditions laid down in this Article. 2. The power to adopt delegated acts referred to in Article 3(2) shall be conferred on the Commission for a period of five years from … [date of the entry into force of this amending Regulation]. The Commission shall draw up a report in respect of the delegation of power not later than nine months before the end of the five-year period. The delegation of power shall be tacitly extended for periods of an identical duration, unless the European Parliament or the Council opposes such extension not later than three months before the end of each period. 3. The delegation of power referred to in Article 3(2) may be revoked at any time by the European Parliament or by the Council. A decision to revoke shall put an end to the delegation of the power specified in that decision. It shall take effect the day following the publication of the decision in the Official Journal of the European Union or at a later date specified therein. It shall not affect the validity of any delegated acts already in force. 4. Before adopting a delegated act, the Commission shall consult experts designated by each Member State in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making. 5. As soon as it adopts a delegated act, the Commission shall notify it simultaneously to the European Parliament and to the Council. 6. A delegated act adopted pursuant to Article 3(2) shall enter into force only if no objection has been expressed either by the European Parliament or the Council within a period of two months of notification of that act to the European Parliament and the Council or if, before the expiry of that period, the European Parliament and the Council have both informed the Commission that they will not object. That period shall be extended by two months at the initiative of the European Parliament or of the Council.’.

Financial envelope : In line with the Horizon Europe Framework Programme, co-legislators further agreed on an overall financial envelope of EUR 7 953 000 000 in current prices for the Fund. The distribution of this overall financial envelope to ‘research’ and ‘development’ actions remains proportionate to the one contained in the initial proposal by the European Commission. The Council position at first reading does not include a ‘receiving clause’ which would have enabled Member States to request the transfer to the Fund of resources allocated to them under shared management, where possible to their own benefit. The Council agreed not to include such a clause in response to ethical and practical concerns raised by the European Parliament and the European Commission, respectively. The Council position at first reading reflects the 30 %-goal of the multiannual financial framework 2021-2027 for the mainstreaming of climate expenditure across all EU programmes. It also contains a provision on the mainstreaming of biodiversity action.
9.

The European Parliament had raised concerns regarding the governance of the programme and EP’s restricted role in decision-making, in case new initiatives would be introduced during the programming period. The co-legislators agreed to add a new Annex to the Regulation, with more detailed description of actions supported by the programme. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts to amend the Annex by adding to the description of the actions, where necessary, in order to adapt to developments in the relevant fields. This solution takes into consideration both the Council’s priority to maintain a lean Regulation that leaves enough flexibility for the implementation, as well as the Parliament’s claim to be involved in politically relevant decisions taken during the implementation phase of the programme.
11.

The Fund will contribute to the following specific objectives: (i) improving and facilitating the exchange of information among and within competent authorities of the Member States and relevant Union bodies and, where relevant, with third countries and international organisations; (ii) improving and intensifying cross-border cooperation, including joint operations among and within Member States’ competent authorities in relation to terrorism and serious and organised crime with a cross-border dimension; (iii) supporting the strengthening of the Member States’ capabilities in relation to preventing and combating crime, terrorism and radicalisation as well as managing security-related incidents, risks and crises.
