European Parliament recommendation to the Council on observation by the European Union of the elections in Bosnia-Herzegovina

The European Parliament,

- having regard to Article J.7 of the EU Treaty,

- having regard to Rule 92 of its Rules of Procedure,

- having regard to the joint action adopted by the Council on 10 June 1996 on the Union's support for the electoral process in Bosnia-Herzegovina ((OJ L 168, 6.7.1996, p. 1.)),

- having regard to the proposal for a recommendation of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Security and Defence Policy (A4-0234/96),

A. whereas the European Union has a special responsibility for the elections in Bosnia-Herzegovina scheduled for 14 September 1996,

B. whereas the joint action adopted by the Council with regard to the Union's support for the electoral process is insufficient and should be reviewed, as the Council itself suggests in Article 4, to include election observation activities,

C. whereas observation of the elections by Community institutions and by Member State parliaments and governments should be coordinated by the Union,

D. whereas it is legitimate and politically consistent for the European Parliament to play a particularly prominent role in the political observation of the elections and this participation should be ensured by the Commission and Council,

1. Puts to the Council the following recommendations:

(a) that it review the joint action of 10 June 1996 and extend it with a view to providing full and high-profile Union support for election observation activities,

(b) that it take all possible measures to coordinate the participation of the various Union and Member State institutions in election observation tasks and that it involve the European Parliament in the preparation, implementation and evaluation phases,

(c) that the political nature of the European Parliament observers' delegation be recognized in the joint action and that its visibility and logistics be duly guaranteed by the Council and Commission in such a way as to distinguish it from supervisors and technical observers and to ensure that it enjoys suitable political prominence;

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

Corrigendum to Position (EU) No 1/2016 of the Council at first reading with a view to the adoption of a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European Union Agency for Railways and repealing Regulation (EC) No 881/2004 — Adopted by the Council on 10 December 2015

( Official Journal of the European Union C 56 of 12 February 2016 )

(2016/C 178/01)

On page 39, Article 65, paragraph 10:

for:

‘10. The European Parliament, on a recommendation from the Council acting by a qualified majority, shall, before 30 April of year N + 2, give a discharge to the Executive Director in respect of the implementation of the budget for year N.’,

The Council’s position, developing the Commission’s initial proposal that a transport undertaking must organise the work of drivers such that drivers are able to regularly return home in order to take a long rest period (Article 8(8a) of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006), strengthens this requirement as regards proof and monitoring, and favours more clarity on the location the driver returns to. As such, the Council’s text requires a driver to return to the employer’s operational centre where the driver is normally based and where the driver’s weekly rest begins, in the Member State of establishment, or to the driver’s place of residence, with the understanding that it is for the driver to choose the location where to spend the rest periods, while the employer is responsible for guaranteeing the regular ability to return. The baseline frequency was agreed as four-weekly, in accordance with amendment 385. For reasons of simplicity and unequal negotiating positions between drivers and their employers, the Council did not accept elements of additional flexibility supported by the Parliament in amendments 355, 377, 385.
9.

The main improvements can be summarised as follows: — Privately owned devices (Articles 3(5) and 4(2) point (a)): under the appropriate legal safeguards, OLAF will be allowed access to privately owned devices to the extent those are used for work purposes and to the same extent as the national investigation authorities, insofar as external investigations are concerned; with regards to internal investigations reference is made to the decisions adopted by the respective institution, body, office or agency; — Access to bank account transactions (Article 7(3), (3a) and (3b)): a compromise wording was found, which limits OLAF’s rights of access to those of national investigators that have access to bank accounts; — Controller of procedural guarantees (Articles 9a and 9b): an independent function that is attached in organisational terms to the Supervisory Committee has been agreed; the scope of the controller’s function covers also the rules applicable to OLAF investigations, in particular procedural requirements and fundamental rights; the controller can issue recommendations to the Director-General of OLAF; — Access to OLAF reports (Article 10(3b)): the person concerned is allowed to request access to OLAF’s final report under the condition that explicit consent is given within a period of 12 months by the relevant national authorities who conduct the ensuing national proceedings; — Admissibility of evidence (Article 11): the admissibility of OLAF reports as evidence in administrative proceedings and the communication with OLAF on issues encountered with the admissibility have been strengthened; — Higher procedural standards for OLAF investigations in support of the EPPO (Article 12e(3)): upon an opinion from the OLAF Supervisory Committee, the European Parliament requested the application by OLAF of procedural standards that would be equivalent to those in criminal investigations in order to protect the admissibility of evidence gathered in ensuing criminal proceedings; the compromise found obliges the EPPO to cooperate closely with OLAF to ensure that the procedural standards are observed, without OLAF’s mandate being enlarged; — Cooperation between OLAF and the EPPO (Articles 12b to 12g): a compromise has been found whereby the EPPO’s consent will be required for OLAF to conduct complementary investigations; the EPPO may not remain silent, but it is under no obligation to justify its objections to OLAF; — Supervisory Committee (Article 15): the access of the Supervisory Committee to OLAF’s case files has been regulated, thus resolving a long dispute between the two bodies; — Follow-up reporting from Member State authorities to OLAF (Articles 11 and 16): an improvement has been foreseen in order to allow OLAF to better monitor its cases and identify shortcomings.
11.

The text of the Council’s position at first reading reflects the fair compromise reached in the negotiations between the European Parliament and the Council, facilitated by the Commission. The agreement focuses on: — a balance between the procedural provisions and the contained size of the Programme. In particular, the work programme is adopted by means of implementing acts without comitology (Article 11) and the Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts developing a monitoring and evaluation framework of the Programme and amending the annex to the Regulation including a list of monitoring indicators (Article 12), — a requirement for the Commission to report annually on the Programme’s performance to the European Parliament and to the Council in the framework of the report on the protection of the Union’s financial interests. The Commission should duly take into account recommendations from the European Parliament expressed in this context (Article 12), — an indicative breakdown of the financial envelope between three components of the Programme, and a ceiling of 2 % for expenditure on technical and administrative assistance in the implementation of the programme (Article 3), — a non-exhaustive list of actions eligible for grants (Article 9) and a maximum co-financing rates for grants set at 80 % of eligible costs, which, in exceptional cases, can be increased to a maximum of 90 % of eligible costs (Article 8), — a commitment from the Commission to ensure independency and objectivity when conducting the evaluations (Article 13), — provisions on the retroactive application of the Programme from 1 January 2021 to allow continuity of activities funded by the Programme (Articles 18 and 19), — in addition to standard provisions on the third countries participation, a recital introducing the encouragement of the participation of entities established in third countries having an association agreement in force with the Union, with a view to strengthening the protection of the financial interests of the Union through cooperation relating to customs and through the exchange of best practices (Recital 20), — a recital introducing the climate target despite the limited budget and the specific focus of the Programme (Recital 33).
13.

The main elements of the compromise reached with the European Parliament are outlined below: — the duration of the Programme from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2027 and retroactive application of Regulation have been agreed; — the specific objectives of the Programme have been elaborated; — the actions eligible for funding have been further specified; — the selection process of external experts has been clarified; — the responsibilities to ensure the development and operation of the European electronic systems have been detailed; — the reference to the Multi-Annual Strategic Plan for Customs has been removed while Decision 70/2008/EC has not been repealed; — the Programme will be implemented by multiannual work programmes adopted by implementing acts; — the criteria and modalities of evaluation have been reinforced; — a new clause regarding the reporting obligation and extension in respect of the delegation of power has been introduced.
18.

While the European Parliament had proposed extensive amendments and additional text proposals for the HA strand of the Programme, the co-legislators agreed to accept some of them, bearing in mind that notwithstanding its specific features, the HA aid strand only represents 6 % of the Programme. The final compromise on the HA provisions in the Programme is balanced in this regard, and on top of the extended age limit, the co-legislators agreed to include the main HA principles, and enhanced safeguard measures applicable to volunteering in support of HA operations.
17.

The final text, as agreed by the two co-legislators, represents a balanced compromise. In the negotiations launched in 2020 three subjects were the subject of special discussions: a) in terms of governance of the programme, the use of implementing acts for the adoption of the work programme, in line with the original proposal and the Council mandate, was confirmed; b) reinforcement of the clauses on rule of law; c) with respect to the allocation of funds, a limited earmarking was introduced in the Regulation, in relation to the funding to be allocated to the objectives of the Regulation. A flexibility margin has also been provided, to support each of the objectives defined by the Regulation, to support, as a priority, actions aimed at promoting the rule of law. This limited earmarking, even if not envisaged in the original Commission proposal, built on a similar allocation of funds provided for in the Regulation which establishes the Justice Programme 2014-2020.
ASSENT No 9/75 given by the Council pursuant to Article 56 (2) (a) of the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community to enable the Commission to grant maximum loan of Fl 2.5 million (approximately 0.75 million units of account), or its equivalent value, subject to an interest rebate, to Lips Heerlen N.V. (Netherlands) for the construction of an installing plant for the manufacture of propeller components and hydraulic accessories at Hoensbroek;

These assents were requested by the Commission in letters dated 21 January 1975.

At its 333rd meeting on 3 March 1975, the Council gave the assents requested by the Commission.
