The problem is rather to identify the areas which should receive priority since they connect better with the wishes and concerns of the European citizens and their expectations of the role to be played by the Union in international affairs.
The problem is rather to identify the areas which should receive priority since they connect better with the wishes and concerns of the European citizens and their expectations of the role to be played by the Union in international affairs.
From the rapporteur's viewpoint, one of those areas will be the development of a genuine European Neighbourhood Policy, including a European Economic Area for European countries.

Other priority areas should be human security and the aforementioned fight against terrorism, as well as the Union's contribution towards more justice and better economic and sustainable development in a globalised world.

In addition, the rapporteur supports the Council's view that, in many ways, the future priorities for CFSP for a Union aiming to be a global actor define themselves, and that in particular the Near and Middle East, Balkans, Eastern Europe and conflict situations, as well as the Transatlantic relationship and the ongoing fight against terrorism and non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction must continue being at the centre of CFSP for 2006.

Furthermore, the rapporteur makes specific proposals on the most demanding foreseeable CFSP issues for 2006 such as the future status of Kosovo; the role that Africa should play in the external action of the Union; the Union's strategic partnerships with Russia and with China, including the recommendation not to lift the arms embargo with China until greater progress is achieved in the field of human rights; the role that the Union should continue playing in Afghanistan and Iraq; and the increasingly complex issue of Iran's nuclear plans and eventual referral of this matter to the United Nations Security Council.

The financing of CFSP for 2006

For years, the lack of constructive political dialogue between the Council and the Parliament on the resources and priorities for the external action policy has been self-evident.

For example, the Council's draft budget for the financial year 2006 after the first reading provides for a 0.39% overall cut in commitments as compared to the PDB; however, the reduction of expenditure falling under heading 4 (external action) amounts to 3.16% of the allocations proposed by the Commission.

The Committee on Foreign Affairs has considered this as totally unacceptable given the fact that the external policy of the Union, including the pre-accession process, has produced unparalleled results, and must be able to continue to provide the necessary incentives and assistance to achieve its priorities.

In addition, response to unforeseen disasters (such as the recent tsunami) or prolonged crises (such as in Iraq) should not be to the detriment of the Community's assistance to other equally strategically important regions.

This Committee has therefore recently proposed either a revision of the Financial Perspectives or, alternatively, greater recourse to the Flexibility Instrument in order to cover new operations without undermining existing ones.

With particular reference to the CFSP budget, it has become clear that Parliament does not receive in advance sufficiently detailed information on CFSP expenditure in order to be able to monitor the efficiency or indeed effectiveness of such expenditure.

In fact the CFSP budget is currently mainly used for four areas: civilian crisis management operations; programmes to tackle WMD non-proliferation; EU Special Representatives; and programmes to tackle small arms and light weapons reduction.

However, the rapid growth in the number of EU Special Representatives in particular since 2004 is a good example of the need for the Council to adopt clear guidelines, based on objective and verifiable criterion before creating new posts.

Notably, some CFSP/ESDP operations draw from a variety of sources of funding and that civilian and military components of civilian crisis management operations are becoming more and more interconnected.

The rapporteur therefore proposes the revision of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 to accommodate the new political, institutional and financial situation of the Union and in order to rectify the above-mentioned shortcomings.

Such a revised Interinstitutional Agreement would have a new structure better adapted to the European Security Strategy, improving the quality of information provided on CFSP expenditure, particularly with regard to actions financed under each item, their implementation rates, transfers of appropriations between budget lines and the reasons for such transfers.

Finally, the rapporteur recommends in particular that the revised Interinstitutional Agreement makes a step forward and foresees that joint costs for military operations in the framework of the ESDP come from the community budget, in turn repealing the existing practice of fixing subsidiary budget or start-up funds by the Member States.

– having regard to the first Commission report on the application of the Postal Directive ( COM(2002)0632 ),
– s ohledem na zprávu Výboru pro dopravu a cestovní ruch ( A6‑0390/2005 ),
– having regard to the report of the Committee on Transport and Tourism ( A6‑0390/2005 ),
A. vzhledem k tomu, že poštovní služby mají velký hospodářský význam a v roce 2002 vykázaly příjmy ve výši přibližně 88 miliard eur, což odpovídá 0,9 % HDP EU; vzhledem k tomu, že podle odhadů je s poštovním odvětvím přímo spjato nebo s ním souvisí více než 5 milionů pracovních míst,
A. whereas postal services are of major economic importance and their income in 2002 amounted to some EUR 88 billion, or around 0.9% of the GDP of the EU; whereas it is estimated that more than 5 million jobs are directly dependent on or linked to the postal sector,
B. vzhledem k tomu, že konkurenceschopné a efektivně fungující poštovní služby hrají jako součást komunikačního a distribučního trhu důležitou roli v hospodářském a sociálním dění Evropské unie, protože ovlivňují mnoho hospodářských odvětví a jsou s nimi úzce propojeny; vzhledem k tomu, že poštovní služby mají proto důležitou úlohu také v rámci Lisabonské strategie,
B. whereas competitive and efficient postal services are of great significance for economic and social activity in the EU as part of the distribution and communications market, both influencing and being closely interlinked with many economic sectors; whereas postal services therefore also have an important role to play in the context of the Lisbon Strategy,
C. vzhledem k tomu, že reformy a hospodářský a technický pokrok v poštovním odvětví Evropské unie vedly k modernizaci postupů a k vyšší automatizaci poštovních služeb, a vzhledem k tomu, že díky dosavadním reformám došlo v oblasti poštovního odvětví k významnému vývoji v podobě zvýšení kvality a efektivity služeb a lepší orientaci na zákazníka,
C. whereas reforms and economic and technical developments in the postal sector in the EU have led to modernised operations and a greater degree of automation, and whereas reform measures so far have brought about significant positive developments in the postal sector along with increased quality, more efficiency and better customer-orientation,
D. vzhledem k tomu, že územní a sociální dimenze poštovních sítí je nenahraditelná a umožňuje všeobecný přístup k základním místním službám,
D. having regard to the irreplaceable territorial and social dimension of postal networks, which allow universal access to essential local services,
E. vzhledem k tomu, že Komise se ve své zprávě snaží posoudit, do jaké míry bylo dosaženo cílů směrnice 2002/39 ES, přičemž zvláštní důraz klade na hospodářské, sociální a technologické aspekty, a sledovat zaměstnanost a kvalitu služeb,
E. whereas the Commission report seeks to assess to what extent the objectives of Directive 2002/39/EC have been achieved, taking account in particular of the economic, social and technological aspects, and to make observations about employment issues and quality of service,
F. vzhledem k tomu, že Evropský parlament by chtěl prostřednictvím této zprávy upozornit na otázky a aspekty, které by měla Komise brát v úvahu ve své další práci,
F. whereas the European Parliament wishes, in this report, to draw attention to questions and aspects which the Commission should take into account in its forthcoming work,
2. s uspokojením konstatuje, že podle dostupných údajů vedl dosavadní vývoj trhu k pozitivním výsledkům; při této příležitosti zdůrazňuje, že rozvoj hospodářské soutěže nelze měřit toliko podle otevřenosti trhu nebo podle podílů na trhu;
Is pleased to note that, judging by the data available, the development of the market so far has led to positive developments; points out in this connection that the development of competition cannot be gauged solely by the degree of market openness or by market shares;
6. žádá Komisi, aby rozhodla, zda lze rok 2009 nadále považovat za termín dokončení vnitřního trhu v oblasti poštovních služeb, nebo zda by se na základě závěrů studie měly stanovit další etapy;
Calls on the Commission to determine whether it is possible to retain the 2009 deadline for completion of the internal market in postal services or whether other stages should be set out in the light of the conclusions of the study;
8. oceňuje výsledky Evropského výboru pro normalizaci (CEN) v oblasti standardizace v poštovním odvětví a žádá Komisi, aby v zájmu ochrany spotřebitelů a v souvislosti s dokončením vnitřního trhu nadále standardizaci věnovala přiměřenou pozornost;
Acknowledges the achievements by CEN (Comité Européen de Normalisation) in the field of standardisation in the postal sector and calls on the Commission to continue to take appropriate account of standardisation in the interest of consumer protection and in the light of the completion of the internal market;
12. vítá, že Komise chce nadále sledovat regulaci „sestupné linie“ (downstream access); zdůrazňuje však, že by regulace právě v této oblasti mohla představovat značný zásah do trhu, a žádá proto, aby se předtím podrobně prověřilo, zda a do jaké míry může být takový zásah z ekonomického a právního hlediska oprávněný, přičemž je třeba vzít v úvahu, že na různých poštovních trzích již existuje řada obchodních modelů, v jejichž rámci účastníci hospodářské soutěže vstoupili úspěšně na trh, aniž by potřebovali regulovaný přístup k síti; žádá Evropskou komisi, aby vyhodnotila dopad těchto modelů a zda jsou evropská rámcová opatření pro vymezení podmínek přístupu k síti vhodná pro zajištění rovnosti přístupu;
Welcomes the fact that the Commission wishes to continue monitoring the regulation of downstream access; points out, however, that regulation in this area in particular would represent a significant intervention in the market and calls, therefore, for a detailed prior investigation of whether and to what extent such intervention can be economically and legally justified, taking account of the fact that a number of business models already exist in various postal markets, in which competitors have successfully entered the market without the need for regulated network access; calls on the Commission to evaluate the impact of these models and to assess the appropriateness of a European framework for network access conditions in order to ensure equality of access;
15. žádá naléhavě, aby na základě různých zkušeností se stávajícími systémy licencí v členských státech a v souvislosti s principem subsidiarity byly postupy schvalování jedním z témat studie, s patřičným odkazem na objasnění rozsahu působnosti, schvalovacího postupu a závazných podmínek, kterými se řídí schvalování podle směrnice o poštovních službách, a zdůrazňuje, že takové požadavky by neměly vytvářet nové překážky pro přístup na trh, ani vést k pokřivení cen či politice vysokých cen;
Urges, given the varying experiences with the existing licensing systems in the Member States, and in the light of the subsidiarity principle, that authorisation procedures should be one of the issues addressed in the study, with particular reference to clarifying the operational scope, the approval process and the obligatory conditions governing authorisation permitted by the Postal Directive and urges that such requirements should not mean the erection of new barriers to market access nor lead to price distortions or cream-skimming practices;
18. vyjadřuje znepokojení nad rozdílným způsobem určování DPH na poštovním trhu a žádá Komisi, s odkazem na své usnesení ze dne 11. března 2004
Is concerned at the differences in VAT treatment on the postal market, and calls on the Commission, referring to its resolution of 11 March 2004
C 102 E, 28.4.2004, s. 814. k návrhu směrnice Rady, kterou se mění směrnice 77/388 EHS o dani z přidané hodnoty u služeb v poštovním odvětví, aby předložila návrhy, jak lze mezi provozovateli dosáhnout nezbytné právní jistoty a nediskriminace;
814. on the proposal for a Council directive amending Directive 77/388/EEC as regards value added tax on services provided in the postal sector, to submit proposals on how to achieve the necessary legal certainty and non-discrimination between operators;
Die in der Richtlinie gesetzten Rahmenbedingungen sollen über die schrittweise und kontrollierte Liberalisierung des Marktes zur Verwirklichung des Binnenmarktes im Postsektor beitragen und so sicherstellen, dass allen Bürger in der Europäischen Union überall effiziente, zuverlässige und hochwertige Postdienstleistungen zu erschwinglichen Preisen zur Verfügung gestellt werden.
The framework conditions set out in the Directive are intended to contribute to the completion of the Single Market in the postal sector by means of gradual and controlled liberalisation of the market, and thereby to ensure that reliable and high-quality postal services are made available everywhere to all citizens of the European Union at affordable prices.
Die Postrichtlinie wurde im Jahr 2002 durch Richtlinie 2002/39/EG geändert.
The Postal Directive was amended in 2002 by Directive 2002/39/EC.

· From 1 January 2006 this weight limit will fall to 50g (or two and a half times this tariff).
· Die Kommission erstellt eine Studie, in der für jeden Mitgliedstaat bewertet wird, welche Auswirkungen die Vollendung des Binnenmarkts für Postdienste im Jahr 2009 auf den Universaldienst haben wird.
· The Commission will finalise a prospective study which will assess, for each Member State, the impact on universal service of the full accomplishment of the postal internal market in 2009.
· Auf der Grundlage der Ergebnisse dieser Studie unterbreitet die Kommission bis zum 31.12.2006 dem Parlament und dem Rat einen Bericht sowie einen Vorschlag entweder der Bestätigung des Termins 2009 zur Vollendung des Binnenmarkts oder der Festlegung anderer Schritte.
· Based on the study's conclusions, the Commission is to submit by 31 December 2006 a report to the European Parliament and the Council accompanied by a proposal either confirming, if appropriate, the date of 2009 for the full accomplishment of the postal internal market or determining any other step.
Eingefügt wurde auch in Artikel 23 die Verpflichtung der Kommission, dem Parlament und dem Rat alle zwei Jahre einen Bericht vorzulegen, der " einschlägige Informationen über die Entwicklung des Sektors, insbesondere über seine wirtschaftlichen, sozialen und technologischen Aspekte sowie über den Beschäftigungsaspekt und die Dienstequalität enthält ."
Article 23 also requires the Commission to submit a report every two years to the European Parliament and the Council, ' including the appropriate information about developments in the sector, particularly concerning economic, social, employment and technological aspects, as well as about quality of service. '
Die Kommission hat am 23.03.2005 nun den zweiten Bericht (KOM (2005)0102) über die Anwendung der Postrichtlinie sowie ein begleitendes Arbeitsdokument ( SEK(2005)0388 ) vorgelegt.
