whereas the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) authorises trade repositories and supervises their compliance with the relevant regulatory requirements; whereas trade repositories pay ESMA a one-off registration fee and an annual supervisory fee; whereas since 1 January 2021, the Union’s trade repositories landscape has changed significantly because only two out of the four trade repositories that were based in the United Kingdom before 1 January 2021 have transferred their business to the Union to continue to provide their services in the Union by establishing new entities in the Union, which has made the existing fees calculation methodology incompatible with the prevailing principles regarding the calculation of fees;

3.1.

COSAC calls on the Council to reinforce its efforts to solve the problem of illegal immigration and at the same time to work towards a coherent strategy on legal immigration. Immigration policy is a vital question for the future of the European Union and it should be based on a more comprehensive policy that is coordinated with development and trade policies. Finding a common solution is essential to all Member States and to the EU as a whole. Such a solution is particularly important, especially in respect of immigration from the African continent, and it will provide a concrete follow-up to the conference held in Rabat in July 2006 which brought together representatives from countries of origin, transit countries and destination countries.

P7_TA(2012)0016

Declaration of the European Parliament of 19 January 2012 on the establishment of the Pact of Islands as an official European initiative

(2013/C 227 E/07)

The European Parliament,

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

A. whereas islands are highly dependent on imported fossil fuels, facing higher fuel costs, but are also an opportunity for research, demonstration and development of renewable energies and energy efficiency actions,

B. whereas islands are vulnerable to climate change because of their high levels of biodiversity and fragile ecosystems,

C. whereas renewables are in abundance and their development can have a significant impact on alleviating islands’ permanent structural handicaps, providing socio-economic benefits to their inhabitants,

1. Congratulates the communities and peripheral regions that have signed the Pact with the aim of going beyond the objective of the EU 2020 Strategy, reducing CO2 emissions in their respective territories by at least 20 %;

2. Calls on the Commission to continue providing its support to European island communities with a view to achieving the sustainability objectives of the EU;

3. Insists on the presence of distinctive and explicit references to insular sustainability in the EU framework programmes and policy texts in keeping with Article 174 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU;

4. Insists that incentives are created for all islands to adhere to the Pact and participate in islands’ networking;

5. Underlines the necessity of mobilising the appropriate financial resources to support the functioning of the Pact process, based on the model of the Covenant of Mayors, Smart Cities and other similar EU initiatives;

6. Instructs its President to forward this declaration, together with the names of the signatories (1), to the Commission.

(1) The list of signatories is published in Annex 2 to the Minutes of 19 January 2012 (P7_PV(2012)01-19(ANN2)).

COSAC invites the Commission to make contributions received from national Parliaments public under a specific heading of the Commission website, where the results of consultation are summarised. COSAC also invites the Commission to ensure that, where appropriate, national Parliament contributions on consultations are explicitly referred to in the explanatory memorandum accompanying any subsequent Commission proposals. Such reference would highlight the particular value of contributions from national Parliaments within the framework of the political dialogue.

following  text) 
1. Without  prejudice  to the provisions  of Article  80 of 
the Financial  Regulation  of 21 December  1977,  the 
Commission  shall  ascertain: 
(a) from  the  Bank,  that  the  mandate  laid  down  in 
Article  2 is being  carried  out; 
(b) how  the  grants,  which  it administers  directly,  are 
used  by the recipients. 2. (former  paragraph  3)

Adopted  on 23 May  1978. 
Marcel  MART 
Member  of the Court  of Auditors 
Opinion  of the  Court  of Auditors  on the  draft  Regulation  on the  application  of the 
provisions  of Protocol  1 to the Cooperation  Agreements  concluded  with  Algeria,  Morocco, 
Tunisia,  Egypt,  Lebanon,  Jordan  and  Syria  and  the  Financial  Protocols  concluded  with 
Malta  and  Cyprus 
The Court  of Auditors: 
— Having  regard  to  the  Commission  proposals 
COM(77)  68 final  and  COM(78)  18 final,  which 
have  been  submitted  to it for opinion, 
— Considers  that  it would  be desirable,  in this  text,  to 
refer  to the  opinion  of the  Court  by replacing  the 
reference  in Article  2 to the Financial  Regulation  of 
25 April  1973  with  a reference  to the  Financial 
Regulation  of 21 December  1977, 
— Notes  that  a large  proportion  of the  aid  shown  in 
the budget  of  the  European  Communities  is 
administered  by the European  Investment  Bank, 
— Considers  that,  in so far as the roles  of the  internal 
and external  audits  are  not  clearly  defined  in the 
application  Regulation,  the procedures  provided  for 
dividing  the  administration  of  Community  aid 
between  the  European  Investment  Bank  and  the 
Commission  are  of  a nature  to  lead  to 
inter-institutional  disputes, 
— Stresses  that  it retains,  even  for  aids  shown  in the 
budget  which  are entrusted  to the administration  of 
the European  Investment  Bank,  the  responsibility 
for audit  laid  down  in Article  206  (a) of the Treaty, 
— Requests  that  it be stipulated  that  the provisions  of 
Articles  2 and  11,  first  paragraph,  do not  impair  its 
powers  of scrutiny. Proposed  amendments  to the text 
Article  2 (paragraph  4 to be added) 
4. The  provisions  of paragraphs  2 and  3 shall  not 
prejudice  the auditing  powers  conferred  upon  the Court 
of Auditors  by  Article  206  (a)  of the  Treaty,  the 
procedures  for  which  are  laid  down  under  Articles  80 
and 82 of the  Financial  Regulation  of 21 December 
1977. 
Article  11,  first  paragraph 
Without  prejudice  to the provisions  of Article  80 of the 
Financial  Regulation  of  21  December  1977,  the 
Commission  shall  ascertain  ...

OPINION 7/82 
of the Court of Auditors of the European Communities on a proposal for a Council 
Regulation amending Regulation (EEC) No 2779/78 on the procedure for applying the 
ECU to legal acts adopted in the customs sphere 
THE COURT OF AUDITORS OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in 
particular Article 206a (4) thereof, 
Having regard to Regulation (EEC) No 2779/78 of 23 November 1978 (') for applying 
the ECU to legal acts adopted in the customs sphere, and in particular to Article 2 
thereof which provides that the value of the ECU in national currencies shall be fixed 
once a year, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2) for a Regulation amending the 
abovementioned Article 2, 
Whereas the Council decided to consult the Court of Auditors on this proposal; 
HAS ADOPTED THE FOLLOWING OPINION: 
1. The Court is of the opinion that the proposal is acceptable. 
2. It has noted that the alignment should apply only to new currency parities (reva­
luation or devaluation), and that is does not take account of those material variations 
in exchange rates which occur due to market fluctuations but which do not result in 
formal revision of parities with the ECU. 
This opinion was adopted by the Court of Auditors in its meeting of 2 February 1983.
