Initiative of the Kingdom of the Netherlands with a view to adopting a Council Decision amending the Council Decision of 28 November 2002 setting up a European Network for the protection of public figures

(2008/C 330/03)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 30(1)(a) and (c) and Article 34(2)(c) thereof,

Having regard to the initiative of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),

Whereas:

(1) There is a need to better protect non-officials who are deemed to be under threat because of their contribution to or impact on the public debate. The possibility of assaults and attacks on those public figures cannot be excluded.

(2) The protection of public figures is the responsibility of the host Member State. Protective measures of the host Member State are based solely on the legal provisions in force in that Member State and the relevant international agreements.

(3) The European Network for the Protection of Public Figures, which was set up in 2002, could contribute to providing protection as a formal channel for communication and consultation between national Authorities.

(4) It is therefore considered appropriate to amend Council Decision 2002/956/JHA of 28 November 2002 setting up a European Network for the Protection of Public Figures (3) so that it would also apply to non-officials who are deemed to be under threat because of their contribution to or impact on the public debate,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

Decision 2002/956/JHA is hereby amended as follows:

1. Article 2 shall be replaced by the following: ‘Article 2 For the purposes of this Decision, “public figure” shall mean any person, either in an official capacity or in a non-official position who is deemed to be under threat because of his or her contribution to or impact on the public debate, and who, in the view of the Member State concerned, merits protection, and to whom a protection service is assigned in accordance with the national legislation of a Member State or pursuant to the regulations of an international or supranational organisation or institution.’;

2. the following point shall be added to Article 4: ‘(f) favouring contacts between the relevant authorities within the Member States responsible for rendering protection services, either through the contact points or directly between the responsible services, as communicated by the contact points, concerning the application of protection in cases where the protection of public figures has to be assured in two or more Member States.’.

Article 2

This Decision shall take effect on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Council conclusions

of 22 December 2003

on 2003 Environment Policy Review

(2004/C 8/04)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

(1) RECALLING the interest, already expressed in its conclusions on 4 March 2002 and confirmed by the Spring European Council in March 2003, for an annual environment report, REITERATES the need to reflect the results of the EPR in the analysis presented in the Spring Report;

(2) TAKES NOTE of the communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament "2003 Environment Policy Review" (EPR), in the light of the new political context of the EU environmental policy since the adoption of the EU Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS) in 2001, and CONSIDERS that the EPR could become a key instrument for the monitoring and the evaluation of the implementation of the 6th Environment Action Programme (EAP) and should also contribute to the Spring European Council and the SDS review, i.a. by providing a good basis for the different Council formations in reviewing the implementation of sustainable development targets;

(3) CONSIDERS the EPR a first constructive attempt to outline a general picture of the EU environmental policy. In particular the Council LOOKS FORWARD to the forthcoming communications of the Commission on the WSSD follow-up, the Environment Technology Action Plan, the stocktaking of the national SDS and of the Cardiff process, including an analysis on how to relaunch this process, all of which are planned for the beginning of 2004, as well as the 2004 SDS Review;

(4) NOTES with great concern the indications of the EPR that negative trends since 2001, especially in areas such as climate change, energy and transport as well as biodiversity, have not been reversed, and that further EU and national measures are necessary in order to meet key EU sustainable development targets. To this end, the Council REAFFIRMS that the objectives set out in the 6th EAP should be taken into account in future financial perspective reviews of Community financial instruments;

(5) RECONFIRMS the need to strengthen the environmental dimension of the Lisbon process with a view to achieving economic, social and environmental renewal and NOTES that the contribution of the environment to the Lisbon goals merits further exploration; UNDERLINES therefore the need to ensure a timely and coordinated adoption of relevant communications by the Commission;

(6) UNDERLINES the need to further clarify, inter alia within the 2004 SDS Review, the interaction between the Lisbon strategy and the EU SDS and to actively implement the Cardiff process and the 6th EAP, with a view to better integrate the environmental protection requirements into the broader framework of the Community policies and promote the synergies between the respective pillars of sustainable development;

(7) CONSIDERS these conclusions to be the result of a preliminary assessment of the EPR and, taking into account the report's value and complexity, will endeavour to further examine its specific contents and to adopt more detailed conclusions as a contribution to the preparation of the 2004 Spring European Council.

Draft supplementary and amending budget 2004 (1)

(Additional posts for the increased counter terrorism activities)

(2004/C 181/01)

I. BACKGROUND

Following the discussion in the Management Board on 1 and 2 April 2004 on the required increase in Europol's counter terrorism activities, this document provides an overview of the necessary human resources in order to fulfil these activities. These new posts will be financed by way of a budget transfer from Article 611 within the 2004 budget.

II. THE PROPOSAL

This Draft Supplementary and Amending Budget (SAB) 2004 contains the allocation of new posts as provided in the Annex in accordance with Article 14(2) and Article 16 of the Financial Regulation.

The purpose of this SAB is to increase the number of posts in the establishment plan from 331 to 349 in order to allow Europol to undertake increased activities in the area of counter terrorism.

A key element in the activities of Europol is the processing of information received from the Member States and subsequently providing them with the results, as a means to instigate and support executive measures arising from this. It is the expectation that there will be a significant increase in this flow of information; therefore, all of the additional Europol staff will be formally allocated to the Analysis Unit, which can be seen in the table below.
