In exchange for the right to fish, the EU will pay the São Tomé and Príncipe Government a total of €663 000 per year, comprising €552 500 as compensation for the reference tonnage of 8 500 tonnes of tuna and per year and a specific amount of €110 500 per year "for the support and implementation of São Tomé and Príncipe's sectoral fisheries policy".

In addition to the EU contribution, the ship-owners must pay licence fees, and the Commission calculates that these could amount to a further €165 900 for São Tomé and Príncipe.

Again in keeping with its commitment to increase the industry's share of the cost of these agreements, the fee that the ship-owners pay per tonne of tuna declared caught has been increased to €35 from €25 under the previous protocol, while the Community contribution has decreased from €75 to €65 per tonne.

As your draftswoman has noted before, however, this development dates only from 2004, and it is therefore still too early to judge whether the new approach will prove any more useful than the previous concept of targeted actions, which is why the Commission is asked to provide annual reports.

The consultant also noted the poor catch reporting by the surface longline fleet and recommended that it be either reduced in size or eliminated (although he warned against simply eliminating the fleet from São Tomé waters and displacing it elsewhere).

The new agreement reduces the size of the longline fleet but the purse seine fleet is reduced by a similar amount, so this is not due to any concerns about the activity or impact of the longline fleet.

Considering the poor reporting record of this fleet (a phenomenon observed in many other agreements as well) it is difficult to see why they should benefit from the considerable Community subsidy provided by this agreement, so the standard amendment is proposed to prevent those vessels which do not report their catches from continuing to receive licences.

In order to evaluate whether the compensation paid by the EU is properly accounted for and does in fact promote the sustainable use of fishery resources in São Tomé, the Commission should report annually to Parliament.

– având în vedere cererea lui Mario Borghezio pentru apărarea propriei imunităţi în cadrul unei proceduri penale în instanţă înaintea unui tribunal italian, datată 8 noiembrie 2006 şi comunicată în şedinţă plenară la 16 noiembrie 2006,
– having regard to the request by Mario Borghezio for defence of his immunity in connection with civil proceedings pending before an Italian court, of 8 November 2006, announced in plenary sitting on 16 November 2006,
– în urma audierii lui Mario Borghezio, în conformitate cu articolul 7 alineatul (3) din Regulamentul de procedură,
– having heard Mario Borghezio in accordance with Rule 7(3) of its Rules of Procedure,
– având în vedere articolul 9 din Protocolul privind privilegiile şi imunităţile Comunităţilor Europene, din 8 aprilie 1965, precum şi articolul 6 alineatul (2) din Actul din 20 septembrie 1976 privind alegerea membrilor Parlamentului European prin vot universal direct,
– having regard to Article 9 of the Protocol of 8 April 1965 on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Communities and Article 6(2) of the Act of 20 September 1976 concerning the election of the members of the European Parliament by direct universal suffrage,

– having regard to the report of the Committee on Legal Affairs ( A6-0233/2007 ),
Conversely applying these principles it should be noted that, when Mr Mario Borghezio expressed his opinion that was published in the press ( Il Messaggero of 29 October 2003) in relation to a judgment of the Civil Court of L’Aquila, he cannot be said to have acted in "the performance of his duties" as a Member of the European Parliament.
Applying these principles, it should be noted that, when Mr Mario Borghezio expressed his opinion that was published in the press ( Il Messaggero of 29 October 2003) in relation to a judgment of the Civil Court of L’Aquila, he was acting as a politician in the context of a political discussion about the question of the display of crucifixes in the classrooms of nursery schools and primary schools in Italy.
Whereas his words were expressed in the context of a political discussion about the question of the display of crucifixes in the classrooms of nursery schools and primary schools in Italy, they had a pure national background and had nothing to do with his duties as a member of the European Parliament.
Even though this discussion had a national background, he cannot be said not to have acted in "the performance of his duties" as a Member of the European Parliament.
It cannot therefore be maintained that Mr Mario Borghezio was acting "in the performance of his duties" as a Member of the European Parliament.
It appears from an analysis of the article in question that Mr Borghezio was merely commenting on a matter of public interest.
On the basis of the above considerations, the Committee on Legal Affairs, having examined the reasons for and against defending immunity, recommends that the request for the defence of Mr Borghezio's immunity be rejected.
On the basis of the above considerations, the Committee on Legal Affairs, having examined the reasons for and against defending immunity, recommends that the immunity of Mr Borghezio be defended.
