It is also striking that no one has requested this 'merger' and that, in general, stakeholders (certainly on the consumer side) do not support it.

In your rapporteur's view, the indicators used up to now are, regrettably, too one-sidedly quantitative and too subjective and could therefore well be improved.

Article 3 lays down the methods of implementation and the maximum amount of the Community's contribution to actions and expenditure for the functioning of certain organisations.

It is noticeable that the ceilings for the Community's financial contribution have been considerably increased and the criteria for allocation, as well as the conditions for exceptionally applying higher ceilings, are much less clear than in the current programme.

It is therefore better - unless adequate additional arguments are given by the Commission - to keep the normal maximum at 50% and to agree to the exceptional maxima at the increased level provided that systematic, explicit justification is given for the 'exceptional utility' which is the reason for applying the higher ceiling.

The budget allocated for the period amounts to € 1 203 million (excluding administrative costs), spread over five budget items (3 for public health, 2 for consumer protection: 17 02 01 and 17 01 04 03), and calls for the use of an executive agency.

On this subject, the committee recommends that the remit of the executive agency for health be extended, so that the latter can provide the technical assistance required by this programme in a rational and effective fashion, bearing in mind the doubling of appropriations in comparison with the current programme.

It should be pointed out that the amount referred to in Article 5 must be regarded as purely indicative until final agreement has been reached on the financial perspectives.

Counterfeiting, which initially affected luxury industries in the form of fraudulent copying of trademarks, designs and models, has now spread to all areas of the economy.

It no longer affects only major companies, but also SMEs and, above all, consumers, since counterfeit products pose an increasing risk to consumer health and safety, whether in the form of adulterated medicines, defective electrical appliances, substandard spare parts, cosmetics which are nothing short of toxic, or dangerous toys.

This is why consumers, who – knowingly, naively or unwittingly – are the potential customers of counterfeiters, must be better informed of the real dangers to themselves and their families, and the legal penalties that can be incurred.

All possible synergies between Community instruments on consumer protection must be set in motion in order to optimise the performance of this programme, the budget for which is relatively limited given the importance of what is at stake.

The Commission must therefore take all necessary measures to ensure that the programme is as cost-effective as possible, and show in an interim evaluation report the progress achieved in this area over a period of five years.

Eelarvekomisjon palub vastutaval siseturu- ja tarbijakaitsekomisjonil lisada oma raportisse järgmised muudatusettepanekud:
The Committee on Budgets calls on the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection, as the committee responsible, to incorporate the following amendments in its report:
Võrdlussummat ei saa kindlaks määrata enne finantsperspektiivi lõplikku vastuvõtmist.
The financial reference amount cannot be determined until the financial perspectives have been finally adopted.
Kui see otsus on tehtud, peab komisjon esitama õigusloomega seotud ettepaneku võrdlussumma kindlaksmääramiseks, võttes arvesse vastavat finantsraamistiku ülemmäära.
Once this decision is made, the Commission will have to present a legislative proposal in order to determine the reference amount, taking account of the corresponding ceiling of the financial framework.
Sellised küsimused nagu toitumine ja ülekaalulisus, suitsetamine , riskikäitumine ja muud tervist mõjutavad tarbimisharjumused on näited valdkondadevahelistest küsimustest, mis mõjutavad nii tervishoidu kui ka tarbijakaitset.
Issues such as diet and obesity, tobacco , at-risk behaviours and other consumption-related choices related to health are examples of cross-cutting issues affecting both health and consumer protection.
Samuti tuleb Euroopa tasandil tõhusalt võidelda võltsimise vastu, mis on tarbijate petmine ja mis ohustab nende tervist.
Counterfeiting, which deceives consumers and at the same time endangers their health, must also be vigorously combated at European level.
Euroopa ja rahvusvahelisel tasandil tuleb tõhustada võitlust võltsimise vastu, mida võib pidada toodete ja kaubamärkide varastamiseks: sellega petetakse tarbijaid, see ohustab tervist ning kahjustab tööhõivet (võltsimise tulemusena kaob Euroopa Liidus igal aastal hinnanguliselt 100 000 töökohta).
Action must be taken at European and international level to step up the fight against counterfeiting, which is tantamount to stealing products and trademarks; it is deceptive to consumers, a danger to health and harmful to employment (it is estimated that 100,000 jobs are lost every year in the European Union as a result of counterfeiting).
b) 60% Euroopa ühishuvides tegutseva asutuse tööga seotud kuludest, kui selline toetus on vajalik tervise või tarbimisega seotud huvide esindamiseks ühenduse tasandil või programmi põhieesmärkide täitmiseks, välja arvatud erilise kasulikkuse juhud, näiteks tarbijaid standardimise valdkonnas esindavate asutuste puhul, mil ühenduse toetus on kuni 95%.
(b) 60 % of expenditure for the functioning of a body pursuing an aim of general European interest where such support is necessary to ensure representation of health or consumer interests at Community level or to implement key objectives of the programme, except in case of exceptional utility , as in the case of bodies representing consumers in the context of standardisation, where the Community contribution shall not exceed 95 %.
Üldreeglina peaks komisjon tagama põhilise rahastamise kahe aasta kaupa partnerluse raamlepingu abil.
The Commission may, as a general rule, seek to grant core funding on a two-year basis by means of a network partnership convention.
Finantsmääruse rakenduseeskirjade artikli 163 kohaldamine võimaldab asjakohastele tarbijaorganisatsioonidele rohkem rahalist kindlust ja vähendab nii komisjoni kui ka Euroopa tarbijaorganisatsioonide halduskoormust.
The application of Article 163 of the Implementing Rules of the Financial Regulation will provide the relevant consumer organisations with more financial certainty and reduce the administrative burden of both the Commission and the European consumer organisations.
Erinevalt projekti rahastamisest on põhiline rahastamine oma olemuselt mõeldud organisatsioonidele, millel on pikaajalised eesmärgid.
Core financing is, contrary to project funding, by nature distributed to organisations which pursue long term objectives.
Seega on pikaajalise koostöö sisseseadmise võimalus põhilise rahastamise taotlejatele eriti sobilik.
Therefore, the possibility of establishing a long-term cooperation is especially suited to applicants for core funding.
Komisjon tagab programmi rakendamise vastavalt artiklile 7 , tuginedes eelkõige tarbijakaitse valdkonnas juba olemasolevatele meetmetele ja korraldustele, et edendada sünergiat ning tagada elluviidud meetmete tõhus koordineerimine ja nähtavus .
The Commission shall ensure the implementation of the programme in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 , making use inter alia of the measures and mechanisms already in existence in the areas of health and consumer protection in order to foster synergies and guarantee successful coordination and high visibility for the measures implemented .
Käesoleva programmi rakendamise soovituslikuks finantsraamistikuks seitsme aasta jooksul alates 1. jaanuarist 2007 on määratud 1203 miljonit eurot.
The indicative financial framework for the implementation of the present programme for the 7-year period beginning on 1 January 2007 is EUR 1 203 million.
Võrdlussummat ei saa kindlaks määrata enne finantsperspektiivi lõplikku vastuvõtmist.
The financial reference amount is indicative until the financial perspectives have been finally adopted.
Kui see otsus on tehtud, peab komisjon esitama õigusloomega seotud ettepaneku võrdlussumma kindlaksmääramiseks, võttes arvesse vastavat finantsraamistiku ülemmäära (vt õigusloomega seotud resolutsiooni muudatusettepanekut).
Once this decision has been taken, the Commission will have to present a legislative proposal in order to determine the reference amount, taking account of the corresponding ceiling of the financial framework (see the amendment to the legislative resolution).
Programmi üldised halduskulud, sealhulgas artikli 3 lõike 1 punktis a nimetatud täitevasutuse sise- ja juhtimiskulud, peaksid olema proportsionaalsed asjaomases programmis ette nähtud ülesannetega ning sõltuma eelarvepädevate ja seadusandlike institutsioonide otsusest.
The overall administrative expenditure of the programme including internal and management expenditure for the Executive Agency referred to in Article 3, paragraph 1a, should be proportionate to the tasks provided for in the programme concerned and is subject to the decision of the budgetary and legislative authorities.
