Therefore it was decided to create a new legal framework for UE-US aviation relations and negotiations on an Air Transport Agreement between the European Community and its Member States, on the one hand, and the United States of America, on the other hand, were conducted by the European Commission under a mandate received from the Council in June 2003.

This mandate set the objective of establishing an Open Aviation Area (OAA) between the EU and US, creating a single market for air transport between the EU and US in which investment could flow freely and in which European and US airlines would be able to provide air services without any restriction, including in the domestic markets of both parties.

Achievement of the mandate in full would require significant legislative changes in the United States, in particular to remove the existing legal restrictions on foreign ownership and control of US airlines and on cabotage.

The EU accepted during the negotiations that cabotage could not be included in a first stage agreement, but made clear to the US that a first-stage agreement would be acceptable to the EU only if meaningful progress was made towards the removal of restrictions on ownership and control of US airlines.

In response to this the US Department of Transportation (DOT) issued a "Notice of Proposed Rulemaking" (NPRM) in November 2005 that would re-interpret the statutory requirement for US airlines to be under the "actual control" of US citizens so as to expand opportunities for foreign citizens to invest in and participate in the management of US airlines.

A second stage agreement should deal with issues as cabotage, right of establishment, ownership and de facto control and state aid.

Finally, US and EU aviation stakeholders should enter into a continuous dialogue on social standards, with the aim of promoting mutual understanding, a level playing field and high social standards at the same time and international social legislation should be applied.

– като взе предвид предложението на Комисията до Съвета ( COM(2007)0122 )
– having regard to the Commission proposal to the Council ( COM(2007)0122 )
Все още непубликувано в Официален вестник. ,
Not yet published in OJ. ,
– като взе предвид член 37, параграф 2 от Договора за ЕО, съгласно който Съветът се е консултирал с него ( C6‑0116/2007 ),
– having regard to Article 37(2) of the EC Treaty, pursuant to which the Council consulted Parliament ( C6-0116/2007 ),
– като взе предвид доклада на комисията по земеделие и развитие на селските райони и становищата на комисията по бюджети и на комисията по бюджетен контрол ( A6‑0321/2007 ),
– having regard to the report of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development and the opinions of the Committee on Budgets and the Committee on Budgetary Control ( A6‑0321/2007 ),
(10) Тъй като не е необходимо държавите–членки да уведомяват Комисията за начина, по който те са решили или планирали повторно да използват отказаните средства и да променят плана за финансиране за съответната програма за развитие на селските райони, втората алинея от член 33, параграф 4 от Регламент (EО) № 1290/2005 следва да бъде заличена.
(10) Since there is no need for Member States to inform the Commission on the way they have decided or plan to reuse the cancelled funds and to amend the financing plan for the rural development programme concerned, the second subparagraph of Article 33(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 should be deleted.
(12) Необходимо е да се изясни правната база за приемането на подробни правила за прилагането на Регламент (ЕО) № 1290/2005.
(12) It is necessary to clarify the legal basis for the adoption of detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005.
По–специално, Комисията следва да може да приеме подробни правила за прилагане по отношение на публикуването на информация за бенефициерите на Общата селскостопанска политика, по отношение на мерките за интервенция, когато не е предвидена фиксирана сума за единица продукция в организацията на общия пазар и по отношение на отпуснатите суми за финансиране на разходите съгласно член 3, параграф 1, буква в) от този регламент.
In particular, the Commission should be able to adopt detailed rules of application in respect of the publication of information on beneficiaries of the common agricultural policy, in respect of intervention measures where no fixed sum per item has been laid down in a common market organisation and in respect of appropriations which have been carried over to finance the expenditure referred to in Article 3(1)(c) of that Regulation..
(12) Необходимо е да се изясни правната база за приемането на подробни правила за прилагането на Регламент (ЕО) № 1290/2005 и да се гарантира след оценка от Правната служба на Комисията, че прилагането на санкции не води до дискриминация сред бенефициерите на средства от Общата селскостопанска политика.
12) It is necessary to clarify the legal basis for the adoption of detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 and to ensure, after consulting the Commission's legal services, that during the implementation of sanctions no discrimination will be created between those eligible for aid from the common agricultural policy .
По–специално, Комисията следва да може да приеме подробни правила за прилагане по отношение на публикуването на информация за бенефициерите на Общата селскостопанска политика, по отношение на мерките за интервенция, когато не е предвидена фиксирана сума за единица продукция в организацията на общия пазар и по отношение на отпуснатите суми за финансиране на разходите съгласно член 3, параграф 1, буква в) от този регламент.
In particular, the Commission should be able to adopt detailed rules of application in respect of the publication of information on beneficiaries of the common agricultural policy, in respect of intervention measures where no fixed sum per item has been laid down in a common market organisation and in respect of appropriations which have been carried over to finance the expenditure referred to in Article 3(1)(c) of that Regulation.
(14a) Предоставянето на тази информация на обществеността увеличава прозрачността по отношение на използването на средствата на Общността в рамките на Общата селскостопанска политика и допринася за по-доброто разбиране от страна на гражданите на подкрепата за многофункционалното селско стопанство в Европа и доброто финансово управление на тези фондове.
(14a) Making this information accessible to the public enhances transparency regarding the use of Community funds in the common agricultural policy and contributes to better understanding on the part of citizens of support for Europe 's multifunctional agricultural sector and concerning the sound financial management of these funds.
Като се има предвид голямата значимост на преследваните цели, оправдано е, що се отнася до принципа на пропорционалност и изискването за защита на личните данни, да се предвиди общо публикуване на съответната информация, тъй като това не излиза извън рамките на необходимото в едно демократично общество за предотвратяването на нередности.
Given the overriding weight of the objectives pursued it is justified, with regard to the principle of proportionality and the requirement of the protection of personal data, to provide for the general publication of the relevant information as it does not go beyond what is necessary in a democratic society and for the prevention of irregularities.
Земеделските производители създават ползи за всички членове на обществото, за което земеделските стопанства получават компенсаторни плащания.
Farmers provide services for everyone in society, in return for which farms receive compensation.
Към тези ползи спадат по-специално снабдяването на почти 500 милиона европейци с хранителни продукти на достъпни цени и с високо качество, осигуряването на възобновяеми суровини и на възобновяеми източници на енерги, както и опазването на земеделския ландшафт.
These services include, in particular, supplying good, nutritious foodstuffs to nearly 500 million Europeans, providing renewable raw materials and renewable energy sources and preserving the cultivated landscape.
За да получат тези компенсаторни плащания, земеделските стопанства трябва да спазват точно определени изисквания, които се контролират строго от органите.
In order to receive this compensation, agricultural holdings have to comply with specified requirements, compliance with which is subject to stringent checks by the authorities.
All citizens benefit from the services provided by farmers.
All citizens benefit from the services provided by farmers.
Support for a sustainable European farming sector constitutes fair compensation for the services provided to society by farmers.
Support for a sustainable European farming sector constitutes fair compensation for the services provided to society by farmers.
(14б) Публикуването на информация засяга в значителна степен правото на съответните лица на неприкосновеност на личния живот.
(14b) Publication of the information has a significant bearing on the right of the individuals concerned to privacy.
Следователно в регламента на Съвета е наложително да се включат съществени правни разпоредби за защита на данните и разпоредби за основните елементи на публикуваните данни, както и това да не се обхваща единствено от мерките за прилагане.
It is therefore essential that key data protection provisions and provisions specifying the main items of data to be published should be incorporated into the Council regulation and not simply dealt with in implementing legislation.
По-специално следва да се предприемат мерки за предварителното информиране на заинтересованите лица относно публикуването.
In particular, steps should be taken to ensure that the individuals concerned are informed about publication in advance.
При това следва задължително да се предвиди вписване или регистрация на лицата, които ползват данните или правят справка с тях.
It is essential to stipulate that those using, or looking at, the data sign on or register.
Publication has a significant bearing on the right to privacy.
Publication has a significant bearing on the right to privacy.
(14в) Разпоредбите относно прозрачността представляват важен инструмент за бюджетен контрол.
(14c) The rules governing transparency constitute a significant budgetary control instrument.
При сериозни нарушения на изискването за прозрачност следва да се предвиди намаляване на изплащаните от бюджета на Общността средства.
In the event of serious breaches of the transparency requirement, provision should be made for a reduction in funding from the Community budget.
Във връзка с това следва да се определи преходен период.
In that connection, a transitional period should be laid down.
