budget. i hope that the high level group on own resources under the chairmanship of mr monti will come up with meaningful and convincing options and arguments.
we finally succeeded in making the council negotiate but linking the negotiations on the different files was considered a burden by some colleagues.
therefore in the future we need to find a way to discuss the long term budget with a greater commitment by the national parliaments and governments focusing on public investments european added value and the link between the eu budget and economic governance at national level. second we had to steer a very complex negotiation comprising all the decision making procedures and reaching agreement on nearly seventy
we also need to clarify the negotiating mechanisms when the file goes from the council presidency to the president of the european council and vice
the introduction of the global margins for payments and commitments and the possibility to carry forward funds from one year to another was a major achievement by parliament. in conclusion i would like to point to three very important issues the already chronic problem with insufficient payments meaning that it will still be necessary to use all means available at the beginning of the new financial
i cannot accept the approach adopted initially by the council to agree on a negotiating box comprising multiple elements of the legislative files that were supposed to follow the codecision procedure. this was in clear contradiction with the treaty and the balance of powers between the different institutions.
the council discussed figures and exceptions instead. however this report is not about evaluating the outcome of the mff negotiations. the purpose of the report is to take stock of the experience of the european parliament accumulated over the last years in fulfilling the new functions given to it by the lisbon treaty.
we could not agree to leave our successors with an austerity budget for the next seven years.
we decided to create an open system of coordination and exchange of information among the different negotiators.
we cannot be happy with the agreement on the two thousand and fourteen two thousand and twenty mff.

i am a firm believer in vision zero our ambition to reduce death and serious injuries on european roads to zero by.
as the vice president already highlighted the objective of the third mobility package is to let all europeans benefit from safer traffic less polluting vehicles and more advanced transport technologies while simultaneously supporting eu industrial competences and competitiveness.
the regulation on electronic freight transport information will ensure the wide use and acceptance of electronic documents and information exchange among all players involved in cargo transport operation.
this is why the eu needs a fresh approach and this is what we are delivering. with the third mobility package we set out principles for a new road safety framework for the next decade based on the so called safe system.
two thousand and nineteen i hope for your strong support for these ambitious measures and look forward to working with you on all these proposals.
this will make sure that all road users will be able to benefit from the latest developments in technology.
we also propose improved labelling for tyres.
i am also pleased to announce that the commission's proposals in the mobility package are accompanied by an additional eur four hundred and fifty million of cef funds to support safe mobility and digitalisation across transport modes.
the first two elements that are already part of the package are legislative proposals on infrastructure and vehicles.
infrastructure is a vital tool for the deployment of clean safe digital and connected solutions in transport systems.
it aims to simplify permit granting cross border public procurement and other procedures with a view to delivering better administrative efficiency.
first a legal framework that creates a single market for autonomous mobility covering road safety cyber security access to data and data protection.
second financial support to establish a new partnership for a sector wide approach towards research and development.
our initiative will significantly reduce delays as permits should be granted within three years and cut the related costs.
there is an action plan in which you can see all the measures that we are planning.
this will cut red tape and contribute to multimodal solutions even further.
the outcome of this cef transport call should be announced in the first quarter of.
this idea is to build a number of protective layers that protect all road users. it takes into account all factors infrastructure vehicle safety and design and people's behaviour. in this framework we are setting new targets on the way to vision zero.
such cabins will also be safer give better visibility to drivers as well as improved comfort.
this will bring important benefits and pave the way to automated mobility.
last but not least investments and infrastructure.
but more importantly that will set priorities for our future investments in infrastructure.
this is the largest share of all and that is why we are introducing network wide risk mapping which will show us which eu roads are the safest and which ones are less so.
concretely the package sets out measures to support the transition to mobility that is safe clean connected automated and inclusive.
significant investments will be needed to develop and deploy the key technologies and to create the necessary infrastructure support.
it is clear that the energy union and its transition to clean energy will have a strong long term positive impact on all of us and on the future of our mobility.
this brings me to the strategic action plan on batteries.
developing the skills we need in europe to deploy the next generation of high performing sustainable battery technology.
from safety to connectivity.
this is also one of the reasons why we are paving the way for connected and automated driving.
these include automatic emergency braking lane keeping assist and distraction recognition or technology facilitating the use of alcohol interlocks.
this should leave us enough time to negotiate the entire energy union into law and leave it as a significant legacy of this mandate.
i am sure that whichever constituency or political party you come from you will appreciate the main objectives road safety clean mobility inclusion and boosting of our industrial competitiveness.
let me move on to sustainability.
of course the advantages are numerous serving to increase the inclusion of people who cannot drive or have no access to a car boosting europe's competitive advantage and creating new quality jobs. by two thousand and twenty five we expect automated mobility to generate revenues of eur six hundred and twenty billion for the eu automotive industry and eur one hundred and eighty billion for our electronic sector.
that is why for the first time the eu is proposing co two standards for new heavy duty vehicles. other major economies like the us canada japan and china already have them so it's about time we caught up.
i think by now we all realise that battery production is a strategic imperative and we have to move fast in this global race.
together with my colleagues we are looking forward to discussing with you this package in greater detail and i hope we can accelerate the legislative adoption of the energy union files.
for that reason i'm very much looking forward to engaging immediately with you and seeing how far we can get under our mandate and i'm sure that the commission and the commissioner that will come after me will be equally devoted to these goals and we will deliver on those so badly needed objectives by.
two thousand and fifty i know it's ambitious but it is achievable if we join our forces and we are really serious about delivering on this objective.
i am very much in favour of removing silent killers from european society and transport is contributing a few of them so please give your full support to three very clear vision zeros. zero fatalities on european roads zero pollution from european transport and zero
mr president honourable members thank you very much for all your comments and the real support for the mobility package. i take on board your criticism that we might have introduced this package a little bit late into our mandate but believe me it was done in a very systematic and comprehensive way so i do believe that together we can really deliver on it with the confidence that we will also deliver on the results and we are all really
i would like to assure you that we are ready to use this positive spirit to work with you day and night and if you are talking about trilogies you're speaking mostly about the night sessions.
we know that we've got hydrogen we've got a synthetic and if we want to make a real change then we need to manage with those vehicles which are on the market and this is not primarily about electricity.
i was one of the most critical people when it came to the original draft.
we are in a better place there. i am very happy with where we have come on third country access we have managed to keep markets open and to allow eu investors to continue to invest in non eu funds.
i think it is very important that we look at the issues and see how far we have come in eighteen months.
we have a level of transparency that does not put private equity at a significant disadvantage compared to sovereign wealth funds and we have come to a better place on depository liability where we are not concentrating systemic risk.
mr president the aifm directive was the very first piece of legislation that passed my desk after i was elected for the first time eighteen months ago so to see it finally go through plenary this week now that we have finally reached an agreement is actually a relief.
the putting in place of a passport regime for alternative investment funds to operate across the entire eu alongside a single rule book governing their operations should be another valuable piece in the creation of a true single market in financial services for europe and should be welcomed by the industry in its current modified form.
however i hope that everyone who has been involved in this process has learnt some lessons along the way concerning the principles of better regulation.
it is clear that this should not be held up as an example of better regulation and given the extensive agenda of financial legislation over the coming months i hope we can avoid a repetition of this inefficient process.
and dynamic financial markets are not only important for a competitive economy they are crucial.
when we discuss private equity we are talking about the opportunities for smes to grow and to develop.
that would have created new problems not only for investments but also for industrial development.
interestingly the member states that were most concerned about hedge fund activity were also those that did not have any regulation of hedge fund managers nor conduct of business rules to stop the selling to retail investors of some products only appropriate for professional investors.
similarly the member states most worried about asset stripping and hidden takeovers were ones without lower disclosure thresholds on shareholding and without disclosure of contracts for difference.
now wherever you are in the eu there will be protection and that is right. in the supervisory architecture we have taken a big step towards a common rule book.
the lesson of aifm is that we must also take steps to early sharing of best practice.
so i say to the city to my own member state the uk be vigilant when promoting the export to europe of a full range of market regulation with which you already comply.
the end product may not be exactly the same and therefore you will have to adjust and i am afraid that does entail some cost. but sharing this best practice exporting ideas early is the way to avoid the trauma of legislation at a late stage.
that said the end result that we have is an open and reasonably balanced one.
it is not divergent from company law norms.
sadly they will not go to paris or frankfurt but instead further afield to new york and singapore.
are we in a position to afford such loss of business?
of course not but the eu does not care.
its capital requirements will make it difficult for private equity funds and it is venture capital start ups that will suffer the consequences.
funnily enough the commission claims it wants to encourage research development and entrepreneurship in order to restore growth to the european economy.
instead of encouraging venture capital they are putting their trust in public funding which is too cumbersome and useless for this purpose.
it is also incredible to see how the eu has designed this directive from its ivory tower turning deaf ears to regulatory developments in the rest of the world and adopting a protectionist and arrogant method whereby the european securities and markets authority will have the last word on who does business in europe and where european funds invest.
he has betrayed the city of london the most important british industry.
he has allowed yet another transfer of power to brussels without giving the british people a referendum.
on behalf of british alternative fund managers i can only say thank you very much mr cameron.
these are important tools for the further implementation of our reformed common fisheries policy and for implementing its most ambitious element the obligation to end wasteful discarding of fish and land all catches.
two thousand and fourteen the baltic plan is the culmination of a process that has involved many players working together to reach consensus across many interests of involved parties.
this is very important for other marine regions for which the development of these plans will allow for sustainable long term management.
the outcome is a balanced regulation that has incorporated the key concerns raised throughout the process.
this process has included the baltic fishing industry and the fishery ministers of concerned countries as well as the legislators of course and their interests.
the agreement of both legislators has provided the blueprint for this new generation of multi annual plans.
when proposing and adopting delegated acts under their regionalisation provisions of this plan the commissioner will comply with the framework set out in the basic regulation in particular article eighteen and the practice established under the basic regulation implementing the regionalisation process will continue as it has since.
i would like to thank the rapporteur shadow rapporteur and the committee on fisheries for all the hard work they have done to enable agreement to be reached for the multiannual plan for the management of the stock of cod herring and sprout and fisheries in the baltic sea. the baltic plan is the first of its kind;
it is the first of a new generation of multi annual plans.
it is crucial to use the new rules immediately as the scientific advice regarding the western cod stock is very alarming.
the results of this failure have now led to a piece of advice from the scientists more or less closing this fishery. luckily the new baltic management plan has some new rules in place and safeguards to deal with such situations.
after ten months of difficult negotiations with the council and the commission these negotiations gave us a plan that upholds and respects the objectives of the basic regulations.
the stock has been under too much stress for a very long time and so far the council has failed to follow the scientific advice.
that is why i have two questions will the proposals from the commission for next year's total allowable catch in the baltic be based on the scientific advice and the rules established in this new management plan; and is there any scenario where this new management plan and the rules within it to settle catches could not be used?
this new plan must be put into action as soon as possible for setting total allowable catches and quotas for the year. two thousand and seventeen it is crucial that the eu institutions act responsibly and show now that commitment to the principles is still alive.
but let me just shortly very shortly touch upon two points. first i would like to reiterate that the baltic multiannual plan is the first of the new generation of such plans.
so i do hope that additional innovation will be introduced for use in combustion engines to qualify for at least low emission vehicles.
twenty five billion i repeat twenty five billion has been sold like this in the first half of two thousand and eighteen with some senior tranches guaranteed by guess who?
unable to devalue its currency public debt is like a snake eating its own tail.
who can forget that?
let me take this opportunity to warmly thank this house for your unwavering support for an ambitious erasmus programme post two thousand and twenty with an increased budget that is proportionate to the size of our ambition.
alas multilingualism is far from being a reality in the eu.
you underline in your report the crucial role of education in shaping the future of europe. i couldn't agree more. the transformation of our societies and economies creates changing education realities that need urgent responses if we want to offer bright futures to all our young people.
mr president honourable members madam ybacka i'm very pleased to have this debate with you today.
it is high time we stepped up our efforts to be a truly multilingual europe.
we also want to make it easier for smaller and grassroots organisations to take part in particular community based organisations that work with disadvantaged learners of all ages.
on thirty may we presented our proposals for the future erasmus programme which will continue to play a key role in delivering the objectives of the european education area.
when pension funds have to resort not only to derivatives but to over the counter derivatives to run their business then something is probably badly wrong.
the agreement strikes a good balance between the need for transparency and the need to protect commercially sensitive data ensuring a robust and reliable monitoring and reporting system. i would like to thank the rapporteur mr zoffoli and his team and congratulate them on the quick result.
the information made available with the publication of the reported data will be especially important for transport operators.
in addition the regulation paves the way for the co two emissions standards for lorries proposed by the commission last month which will need to rely on the data reported for its compliance processes.
this regulation is a crucial instrument to close the current knowledge gap on the co two emissions and fuel consumption from heavy duty vehicles put on the european union market.
it has been our priority in working on this file to safeguard financial stability and to expand central clearing while allowing some simplification in areas where reduction of requirements has little influence on systemic risk and helps to reduce cost.
a number of extensions that have already taken place.
madam president a group of people are being unjustly persecuted in the uk.
these are british ex servicemen who served in northern ireland.
madam president debate over the use of the seas and the right of the common people to fish is hardly new. in the uk alone two million people fish the seas each year and this report is a welcome development not least for the context it provides recognising the economic and social contribution of recreational fishing.
but these amendments need to uphold the fundamental objectives of emir.
while the market has progressed it has not yet adopted viable solutions for pension funds to centrally clear their derivatives.
our proposal includes a more professional clearing obligation for non financial firms it exempts the smallest financial counterparties from the clearing obligation altogether;
the proposal is part of the commission's regulatory fitness and performance programme.
in recent months the commission has brought together all stakeholders to discuss progress towards a clearing solution for pension funds and last week i hosted a high level meeting with those stakeholders and i was happy that some of you joined us for this.
i welcome the fact that your report recognises the importance of developing a sustainable and competitive european aquaculture sector.
two thousand and nineteen we are meeting regularly with member states in the context of the open method of coordination and with stakeholders through the advisory aquaculture council.
your report gives this work an additional political impetus especially through the links you have established with key players such as regional authorities and developers during its preparation. at the initiative of this house the commission is also starting a pilot project on trans national producer organisations which will hopefully foster cross border cooperation and increase interactions within the sector.
by applying singlesided reporting as opposed to the current dual sided regime it would bring europe in line with other jurisdictions and make the eu more attractive destination for corporate treasury functions which is an important aspect.
parliament's position reduces the proposed three plustwoyear exemption for pension funds to comply with the clearing obligations to twoplusoneyear exemption with very small pension funds exempted. i understand the compromises that were reached on behalf of my colleague and his colleagues in econ but at the end of the day we do need to be careful about this.
one area where we need to put more emphasis is allowing teachers to have access to continuing professional development cpd. there is not enough opportunity for them to do that on a professional basis as distinct from a voluntary basis and that will make a huge difference.
as well as that we have been putting emphasis in ireland on the stem subjects in recent times and that needs to continue.
the more we can do the better.
it is clear that in a globalised economy it is vital to step up the capacities of management and labour in transnational collective bargaining at company level.
transnational company agreements are reciprocal commitments whose scope extends to the territories of several member states and which have been concluded between one or more representatives of a company or group of companies and one or more workers' organisations.
such agreements cover working and employment conditions and rules governing relations between employers and workers and their representatives.
a commission public consultation last year showed the contribution that transnational company agreements have made to a wide range of important subjects in today's changing economy including matters such as anticipating and managing change skills development training
health safety at work and equality including gender equality.
a recent fitness check on the worker information and consultation directive published last july underlined the role that transnational company agreements can play in making workers' rights more effective by supplementing legal standards and adapting them to local conditions.
the commission welcomes parliament's timely report.
we are convinced that it will usefully supplement the stakeholders' views in their replies to the consultation and they showed wide support for the development of transnational company agreements.
the commission will continue to look into whether an optional european legal framework is needed for european transnational company agreements or not.
information on existing agreements is available in a database on the commission's website and we will continue developing this database notably by including real life examples from companies with a view to providing input for discussion at eu level.
so will ms mogherini make the holding of the euisrael association council and the proposed visit of prime minister netanyahu conditional on a total freeze of demolitions?
