- Nye prioriteringer i forbindelse med FIUF-programmernes akvakulturforanstaltninger, bl.a.: udvikling af metoder, der mindsker miljøpåvirkningen, støtte til traditionel akvakultur (f.eks. opdræt af bløddyr) af hensyn til opretholdelse af den arbejdsmarkedsmæssige struktur i bestemte områder, hvor der ikke findes andre alternativer, og spredning i antallet af opdrættede arter.
- fresh priorities to be set for measures to assist aquaculture under FIFG programmes, including techniques reducing environmental impact, support for traditional aquaculture activities (such as mollusc farming) in order to maintain the social fabric in regions with no other alternatives, and farmed-species diversification;
De ændringer, der foreslås af Kommissionen, er i fuld overensstemmelse med Kommissionens tidligere meddelelse ( KOM(2002) 511 ) samt med ordførerens betænkning om denne meddelelse ( A5-0448/2002 , og de henstillinger, der blev fremsat deri.
The amendments proposed by the Commission are fully consistent with its earlier communication ( COM(2002) 511 final) and with your rapporteur's report ( A5-0448/2002 ) and the recommendations it makes.
Ordføreren er således generelt positiv over for Kommissionens forslag, som går i retning af øget forskning og teknologisk udvikling og af mere respekt for miljøet, hvortil kommer nogle nyttige sproglige præciseringer.
Overall, therefore, your rapporteur endorses the Commission proposals: they are steps towards more research and technological development and ever increasing respect for the environment, quite apart from the useful semantic clarification they provide.
Der er dog et aspekt, der volder problemer:
One issue poses a problem, however.
Indførelsen af en finansiel godtgørelse til skaldyrsproducenterne i tilfælde af, at høsten må indstilles på grund af giftige alger, er et skridt i den rigtige retning, men denne form for støtte skal ifølge Kommissionens forslag være udelukket, når forureningen er tilbagevendende.
Although the granting of aid to shellfish farmers where harvesting is suspended as a result of toxic algae represents progress, the Commission proposal rules out aid where contamination is recurrent.
En sådan forskelsbehandling af de berørte producenter er utilfredsstillende og uacceptabel og bør derfor undgås.
This de facto discrimination between producers affected is not satisfactory and not acceptable; it must therefore be removed.
Desuden udgør kravet om, at høsten skal have været indstillet i mindst seks måneder, for at der kan opnås godtgørelse i tilfælde af fremvækst af giftige alger, en alt for lang periode, navnlig hvis algevæksten sker i perioder med stor afsætning.
At times when selling is intensive, in addition, the six-month minimum qualifying period for aid for which harvesting would have to be suspended where toxic algal blooms occur is much too long.
Denne periode bør ikke være længere end 15 på hinanden følgende dage , men samtidig bør der som betingelse tilføjes, at der skal være tale om, at virksomhederne i det pågældende område reelt lider skade.
It should therefore be reduced to 15 consecutive days while laying down the condition that enterprises in the area in question would have to be suffering genuine harm.
Selv om forskningen generelt styrkes i Kommissionens forslag, mangler der tilstrækkelig omtale af forskning i forurening med giftige alger.
Although, in general, research is given a boost under the Commission proposal, insufficient provision is made for research into toxic algae contamination.
Forslaget bør tilskynde til forskning i dette problem.
It therefore would appear necessary to encourage such research.
Det er så afgjort et fremskridt, at mindre initiativer vedrørende anvendt forskning kan opnå støtte som pilotprojekter, men de organer, der betragtes som kompetente til at gennemføre initiativer af denne art bør udvides til foruden økonomiske aktører og videnskabelige eller tekniske organer også at omfatte repræsentative erhvervsorganisationer.
While, furthermore, small-scale applied research initiatives would become eligible as pilot projects, there must be a wider variety of bodies carrying out such projects so as to include any representative professional organisation in addition to economic operators plus scientific and technical organisations.
Til sidst en teknisk præcisering: Akvakultur i form af dambrug er ligesom opdræt af bløddyr en del af traditionel akvakultur .
Lastly, a technical detail: traditional aquaculture activities include not only mollusc farming, but also aquaculture activities in ponds .

(4a) Det endelige mål er at indføre en effektiv beskatning af indtægter fra opsparing i form af rentebetalinger, som er gjort i en medlemsstat, til gavn for ejere og enkeltpersoner, som er bosiddende i en anden medlemsstat, hvilket er nødvendigt for at bekæmpe skadelig skattekonkurrence og medvirke til at forbedre det indre markeds funktion ved at fjerne kunstige incitamenter for kapitalstrømmene i og uden for EU.
(4a) The ultimate aim is to enable savings income in the form of interest payments made in one Member State to beneficial owners, individuals, resident in another Member State to be made subject to effective taxation which is needed to fight against harmful tax competition and to contribute towards improving the functioning of the single market by removing artificial incentives to the flow of capital in the EU and beyond.

(4d) Switzerland, like some Member States, has opted for a withholding tax at source, in connection with Council Directive 2003/48/EC of 3 June 2003, and will introduce such a tax on funds from European Union residents, 75% of the revenue generated by the tax being transferred to the Member State of residence of the beneficial owner.

BEGRUNDELSE I. Background
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT I. Background
The absence in the EU of any coordination of national tax systems for taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments, means that residents of Member States are currently often able to avoid any form of taxation in their Member State of residence on interest they receive in another Member State.

In light of the above, a general consensus was reached at the European Council summit at Santa Maria da Feira in June 2000, that legislation was needed to abolish banking secrecy for fiscal purposes in the EU, and to reach an equitable and effective tax treatment of savings so that Member States would be able to tax the EU-wide income of their residents according to their own domestic tax rules and tax rates.
