Remarks:

After paragraph:

This appropriation is intended in particular to cover .......... promoting results in, inter alia, the following

areas:

Amend text as follows:

– progressive integration into the Union internal market and enhanced sector and cross-sectoral

cooperation including through:

– legislative approximation and regulatory convergence towards Union and other relevant international

standards,

– institution building, in particular in the shere of education

– investments,

– sustainable and inclusive development in all aspects,

– poverty reduction, including through private-sector development,

– promotion of internal economic, social and territorial cohesion,

4

– rural development,

– climate action,

– disaster resilience.

After paragraph:

An adequate level of appropriations should be reserved for the support of civil society organisations.

Add following text:

Part of this allocation should be used to enhance and expand the accessibility of European higher

education in Russian language to students and professionals (adult learners) from the EU’s Eastern

Partnership countries, in particular from Belarus and Ukraine. To achieve this purpose the Eastern

Partnership Centre of Excellence (EPCE) needs to be established. The activities of the Centre would

encompass Master Programmes (including Executive Master Programmes strictly tailored for adult

learners) in subject areas related to the European integration of the Eastern Partnership countries. In

addition, the Centre would serve as the hub for research and scholarly exchange in the same field.

The Centre can only be successful if it stays independent from the political environment of the Eastern

Partnership countries, most of which are rather unstable or - as in case of Belarus - undemocratic and

even repressive. Therefore, the Centre should be located in one of the EU member states having close

connections to the Eastern Partnership countries and particular interest in the European Eastern Policy.

Preferably, the Centre should be established at a higher education institution that has extensive

experience in the education of students from the Eastern Partnership countries and close ties with the

society of at least one of these countries.

Justification:

External financing instruments provide essential tools to address the root causes of internal security and

migration challenges that the EU Member States are currently facing, This budget line should also be used to

enhance the accessibility of European higher education in Russian language to students and professionals

(adult learners) from the EaP countries, in particular Belarus and Ukraine, hence this proposal to establish

the Eastern Partnership Centre of Excellence, to be located in one of the EU member states and built on the

basis of existing higher education institution

eastern borders of the EU, more generally to conflict-stricken areas and to development cooperation and

humanitarian aid. The EU should bring medical care and support to victims of the conflict in the Eastern part

of Ukraine and carry its action with the highest possible visibility.

Providing an adequate financial framework for the security aspects of the Eastern Partnership is crucial for

its operational feasibility. Supporting the peaceful settlement of the frozen conflicts is hardly possible with

the reduced resources. Particularly in Ukraine support needs to be provided in complying with all provisions

of Minsk agreement and peaceful reintegration of the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and

Lugansk oblasts as well as of the illegally annexed Crimea.

Agency.

Add following text:

There are two documents: the Communication of European Commision on EU Policies and Volunteering

and EU Council conclusions on the role of volunteering activities in social policy that need better

promotion.

Justification:

Infrastructure is underdeveloped in terms of volunteers absorption. It is necessary to create functional

mechanisms of volunteers supply and demand management to promote audiovisual environment. Thus it is

necessary to allocate additional funds to promote training programs and best practice guidelines, benefits

being given to the public benefit and benevolence of voluntary activity. In addition, it is necessary

promoting the Code of Ethics, in order to be adopted by all organizers of volunteering.

This appropriation is intended to cover the financing .......... humanitarian aid under Regulation (EC) No

1257/96.


The aid is granted to victims without discrimination or adverse distinction on the grounds of race, ethnic

origin, religion, disability, sex, age, nationality or political affiliation. That assistance is provided in

accordance with international humanitarian law and should not be subject to restrictions imposed by

other partner donors, as long as it is necessary to meet the humanitarian needs to which such situations give

rise.

Justification:

It is of high importance that humanitarian aid operations are non-discriminatory and conducted without

adverse distinction, in accordance with international humanitarian law. The nature of these operations should

not be subject to restrictions imposed by other partner donors.

Justification:

The Syria conflict has led to the largest humanitarian crisis since World War II. The total number of people

in need of humanitarian assistance has reached 12.2 million, approx. 7.6 million of whom are internally

displaced. An entire generation of children is being exposed to war and violence, and people are increasingly

deprived of basic services, education and protection. The figures proposed by the Commission should be

raised by 25%.

After paragraph:

It covers, inter alia:


– Measures to provide an enabling environment and access to quality education in humanitarian

emergencies, including inter alia the basic rehabilitation and reconstruction of school buildings and

facilities, psycho-social support, training of teachers and any product or equipment needed for the

implementation of humanitarian aid operations related to access to education,

– feasibility studies on humanitarian operations, evaluations of humanitarian aid projects and plans,

visibility operations and information campaigns linked to humanitarian operations,

– the monitoring of humanitarian aid projects and plans, the promotion and development of initiatives

intended to increase coordination and cooperation so as to make aid more effective and improve the

monitoring of projects and plans,

– the supervision and coordination of the implementation of aid operations forming part of the

humanitarian and food aid concerned, in particular the terms for the supply, delivery, distribution and use

of the products involved, including the use of counterpart funds,

– measures to strengthen Union coordination with the Member States, other donor countries, international

organisations and institutions (in particular those forming part of the United Nations), non-governmental

organisations and organisations representing the latter,

– the financing of technical assistance contracts to facilitate the exchange of technical know-how and

expertise between Union humanitarian organisations and agencies or between such bodies and those of

third countries,

– studies and training linked to the achievement of the objectives of the humanitarian and food aid policy

area,

– action grants and running cost grants in favour of humanitarian networks,

– humanitarian mine-clearance operations including public awareness campaigns for local communities on

anti-personnel mines,

– expenditure incurred by the network on humanitarian assistance (NOHA), pursuant to Article 4 of

Regulation (EC) No 1257/96. This is a one-year multidisciplinary postgraduate diploma in the

humanitarian field designed to promote greater professionalism amongst humanitarian workers and

involving several participating universities,

– the transport and distribution of aid, including any related operations such as insurance, loading,

unloading, coordination, etc.,

– back-up measures that are essential for the programming, coordination and optimum implementation of

the aid, the cost of which is not covered by other appropriations, e.g. exceptional transport and storage

operations, processing or preparation of foodstuffs on the spot, disinfection, consultants’ services,

technical assistance and equipment directly involved in providing the aid (tools, utensils, fuel, etc.),

– pilot schemes concerning new forms of transport, packaging or storage, studies of food aid operations,

visibility operations linked to the humanitarian operations, and information campaigns to increase public

awareness,

– the storage of food (including administrative costs, futures operations, with or without options, training

of technicians, purchase of packaging and mobile storage units, cost of maintaining and repairing stores,

etc.),

– the technical assistance necessary for the preparation and implementation of humanitarian aid projects, in

particular expenditure incurred covering the cost of contracts of individual experts in the field and the

infrastructure and logistics costs, covered by imprest accounts and expenditure authorisations, of the

Directorate-General for Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection units deployed throughout the world.

18

Justification:

Protracted crises are mounting and today's number of 60 million refugees and IDPs is unprecedented.

Education becomes therefore more and more relevant in the EU's humanitarian action. Today it receives

only 1% of EU humanitarian aid funding, despite the fact that it can provide life-saving skills and help

children to build a future and shield them from radicalization. EUR 26 m shall be added to funds dedicated

to this area. The intention is to reach the target (3% in 2016, 4% until 2019) announced by Commissioner

Stylianides at the Education for Development Summit in Oslo (July 2015).

narrow disparities between regions and Member States in this area, in particular by helping to improve

prevention in regions and Member States which are highly vulnerable to risk and have less economic

wherewithal.

Remarks:

After paragraph:

Any revenue from the contributions from participating .......... with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial

Regulation.

Add following text:

There are specifications on electronic data exchange systems, COM (2011) 112 for 2014-2020.

Justification:

The use of electronic documents is growing. Therefore, it is necessary to establish methods to detect forgery

/ fraud on the basis of analysing risky documents (higher exposure to tampering, possible analysis based on

the identified counterfeits history). It is necessary to create a fund to enable the interconnection of

institutions (management authority, control and audit authorities, etc.) through an electronic data to ensure

exchanges of information.

Heading:

Pilot project — Establishment of the EU Commission Public Sector Innovation Lab

36

Remarks:

Add following text:

A growing number of Member States have recognized the value of taking the design and innovation

process approach to developing new policies and public services. Several initiatives have already started to

demonstrate how integrating user-centred design and prototyping activities into the policy-making process

can save costs, achieve more impact and provide policies that are more citizen-centred. The establishment

of such a policy lab is under discussion within the Joint Research Center and such a pilot project would

accelerate the actual establishment of the policy lab.

The European Commission's 2013 Action Plan for Design-Driven Innovation and the Commission's

Expert Group on Public Sector Innovation highlighted the potential positive impact on enhancing growth

of mainstreaming innovation in the public sector.

This is why the establishment of a European Commission Public Sector Innovation Lab, as recommended

by the Expert Group would be beneficial.

One of the main objectives of the pilot project would be the cooperation with national, regional and local

actors to enhance their capacity to implement EU policies by working with similar structures on the

ground or supporting the establishment of new ones. Thus, the lab would feed into efforts to improve the

spending of EU funds and implementation of EU legislation.

Acting as the Commission's own in-house innovation team, the Lab would also support the European

Institutions in re-designing old regulations or taking a more iterative and cost-effective approach to policy

design from the idea generation phase through to implementation. This would include using techniques

such as randomised control trials, behavioural economics, user-led trials, systems thinking, for example

when designing new EU funding programmes for SMEs, or finding new ways of cutting red tape.

The Lab could also act as a coordination point for European-wide initiatives in the Member States, and

for sharing knowledge and experience among peers.

Legal basis:

Add following text:

Pilot project within the meaning of Article 54(2) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the

European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the

general budget of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 (OJ L 298,

26.10.2012, p. 1).

Justification:

Integrating user-centered design and prototyping activities into the policy-making process can save costs. By

testing early on the little details of the policy, one can avoid costs and achieve more impact through refining

the programme in different rounds of innovation. This could provide policies that are more citizen-centered

by additional public engagement into the process.

This appropriation is intended to cover:


– expenditure on technical and administrative assistance relating to the identification, preparation,

management, monitoring, audit and supervision of the programme or projects,

– expenditure on external personnel at headquarters (contract agents, seconded national experts or agency

staff), up to EUR 2 300 000. That expenditure should not be used to promote precarious employment

and work without rights. This amount is calculated on the basis of a unit annual cost per person/year, 97

Justification:

The production of high-quality statistics in the Member States and a proper degree of standardisation of

procedures for devising statistical indicators are of essential importance to the design and monitoring of

policies and to gaining a clear picture of the level of development of each Member State. In order for this to

be possible, statistical offices need to be properly funded and to have qualified staff who enjoy stable

working conditions.

Add following text:

The reserve will be released when the Commission presents a proposal for a reform of transitional

allowances for former Commissioners having served less than two years.

Justification:

20% put in reserve.

Currently every Commissioner receives a transitional allowance for three years after the end of his/her term

in office, regardless of the duration of the latter. Only the amount of the allowance is dependent on the

duration of the term in office. The Commission is invited to adapt the rules for Commissioners having

served for less than two years, in order to avoid that a Commissioner receives a transitory allowance for a

longer period of time than his time in office (currently 40% of their basic salary for 3 years).

Add following text:

As the new Director-General of ITER is going to present a revised schedule and payment plan for the

project with a six month delay only in November 2015, it is important to put part of the appropriations for

ITER into a reserve with a view to ensure financial soundness and efficiency of spending. The new facts

and figures have to be thoroughly assessed before releasing the reserve. Furthermore, ITER and its Joint

Undertaking for the European Union - Fusion for Energy, have failed to follow-up Parliament's

recommendations, by not presenting the requested report concerning their 2013 discharge; clarifying

their situation is a further condition for the release of the reserve.

Justification:

The 2016 annual profile of CEF-Energy budget lines that are used for the provisioning of the EFSI

Guarantee Fund should be restored. These amendments reflect the commitment of Parliament to minimise to

the maximum extent the impact of EFSI redeployment on Horizon 2020 and CEF, in order to allow for those

programmes to fully accomplish their objectives and benefit from their respective financial envelopes agreed

upon two years ago. All means available under the MFF Regulation should be mobilised, including recourse

to the Flexibility Instrument.

Pilot project — Arctic Business Europe (ABE): Business enabling network for SMEs in the EU to utilize

Arctic business opportunities in North Norway

Remarks:

Add following text:

This pilot project aims at developing a business enabling network for the small and medium sized

companies (SMEs) in the EU in order to utilize the significant business opportunities in North Norway

related to e.g. oil and gas resources and the wind power industry.

The Arctic Business Europe (ABE) is an export promotion instrument that builds up systematic, long-

term business enabling network for SMEs in the EU. The ABE project activities range from trust building

and adaptation to cultural environment to assistance in competence building and practical guidance and

matchmaking with clients, partners, and authorities in North Norway. The ABE project provides added-

value services such as hands-on, experience-based knowledge on legislation, employment regulations,

and up-to-date information on forthcoming tenders and possible tender consortia.

The ABE project 2017-2018 (24 months) has a specific focus on increasing the possibilities of SMEs in

the EU in two major fields of Arctic activities: 1) industrial services related to large-scale projects in

North Norway (e.g. maintenance, life-cycle assessment), and 2) environmental technology and service

companies with solutions to utilize the side streams of Arctic industrial processes in North Norway. The

participation in the ABE project will be opened to the SMEs in all EU countries with two optional levels

of participation: the core group which participates in the full scale Arctic Export process and the observer

group with access to all project information and meetings.

The ABE project results in the setting up of the Arctic Business Enabling Network with the necessary

information and ability to make it significantly easier for the SMEs in the EU to enter large scale

industrial and energy projects in North Norway. Moreover, the project tests the Arctic Export Business

promotion concept in the selected fields of industrial services and utilization of side streams. In a broader

EU context, the project provides an instrument to promote the export businesses of the SMEs in the EU

related to large-scale industrial & energy investments in Arctic business environment and conditions.

Naturally, the increased business of the European SMEs is a concrete outcome of the project, as well as

the increased competitiveness of the European SMEs in Arctic markets. The sustainable utilization of

natural resources, the business concept to enter non-EU business environment, and the close interaction

with the local actors, will be cornerstones of the ABE project.

Legal basis:

Add following text:




26.10.2012, p. 1).

Justification:

Sustainable utilization of Arctic natural resources is one of the key policy objectives of the EU Arctic Policy.

61

The northernmost part of Norway (Finnmark, Troms and Nordland) is the gateway to an estimated 40 billion

euros of investments in the utilization of natural resources during the next 7-8 years. Despite the huge

business potential, the Norwegian marketplace remains relatively unknown for SMEs outside Norway when

it comes to market knowledge and practical business contacts in the oil & gas and wind power industry.

Pilot project — RES solutions for vulnerable groups

Remarks:

Add following text:

Project description: General objectives:

improving the socio-economic living conditions of vulnerable people in Europe

reducing poverty in rural areas of Europe

promoting renewable energy sources

empowering vulnerable groups, fostering active citizenship and basic entrepreneurship

Specific objectives:

realizing direct benefits for vulnerable households in the most affected regions the Europe

reducing the energy/fuel poverty and improving affordability of energy services

Background/rationale:

In Europe itself, it is estimated that 50-125 million EU citizens are affected by energy or fuel poverty

meaning that these households are unable to heat their homes properly or afford to use energy services at

an adequate level thus cannot sustain safe and healthy living conditions. Vulnerable groups living in

rural areas suffer particularly from energy poverty. As several analyses (Eurostat, Bertelsmann

Foundation’s, OECD – PISA research) point out many of the households with unemployed members and

with limited access to public services, especially those belonging to the Roma minority are socially and

economically at high risk. They are simply unable to escape energy poverty and are excluded from

existing energy modernization programmes (e.g. introducing simple and efficient electric lighting

installations, insulation or other means of improving heating efficiency of homes) due to their

unfavourable financial situation.

Aim:

This pilot aims transferring very tangible knowledge on alternative and renewable energy sources, and

provide installations based on extremely cheap techniques and basic, easily accessible materials that give

access to modern energy technologies, reduce energy use, improve energy efficiency and thus reduce the

incidence and intensity of energy poverty in the rural areas of particularly affected Member States of EU.

62

Beside technical/small infrastructural developments the program shall focus on empowering the most

vulnerable people by paying special attention to building up basic entrepreneurship skills and citizens-

based initiatives.

Territorial scope:

The pilot should focus on regions of Central-Eastern Europe (HU, RO, etc.) and the Mediterranean area

(ES, IT, Greece, etc.) where public utilities are missing or access or public services are limited and where

energy poverty and the marginalization of vulnerable groups including Roma minorities is very much

prevalent. After having clear feedback on the uptake of these alternative techniques, the model can be

mainstreamed and used in other European countries affected by the problem.

Proposed actions:

launching awareness raising campaigns, trainings, establishing networks for sharing good practices

introducing enabling techniques and providing small installations based on renewable energy sources

and easily accessible materials, implementation of energy efficiency and modernization measures in rural

areas

transferring knowledge to the most vulnerable members of the society on the use of techniques reducing

energy poverty The proposed budget can be adapted as necessary according to the actions foreseen

The proposed budget can be adapted as necessary according to the actions foreseen.

The pilot project is thoroughly designed not to duplicate but to complement other ongoing initiatives

including particularly the PP adopted under the 2015 budget "Fuel/Energy poverty - assessment of the

impact of the crisis and review of existing and possible measure in the Member States" by evaluating the

role of renewable energy sources, in particular in rural areas and defining specific supporting actions, on

the ground and benefitting the most vulnerable groups, that can be undertaken through EU funding.

Add following text:

As the new Director-General of ITER is going to present a revised schedule and payment plan for the

project with a six month delay only in November 2015, it is important to put part of the appropriations for

ITER into a reserve with a view to ensure financial soundness and efficiency of spending. The new facts

and figures have to be thoroughly assessed before releasing the reserve. Furthermore, ITER and its Joint

Undertaking for the European Union - Fusion for Energy, have failed to follow-up Parliament's

72

recommendations, by not presenting the requested report concerning their 2013 discharge; clarifying

their situation is a further condition for the release of the reserve.

The protection of rights and empowerment of citizens remain unfortunately a major challenge at the EU

level, especially in times of austerity measures where we have seen increasing and multiple violations of

fundamental rights within the EU. In this context, it appears to be necessary to increase the EU budget that

will enable women, men and children living in the EU to have their fundamental rights be protected.

Remarks:

Before paragraph:

In particular, this appropriation is intended to cover the following types of action:


This appropriation is intended to contribute to preventing and combating all forms of violence against

children, young people and women, as well as violence against other personsgroups at risk e.g. LGBTI-

persons and migrants,risk, in particular groups at risk of violence in close relationships, and to protect

victims of such violence (under the ‘Daphne’ specific objective); to promoting and protecting the rights of

the child; to ensuring the highest level of protection of privacy and personal data; to promoting and

enhancing the exercise of rights deriving from citizenship of the Union; and to enabling individuals in their

capacity as consumers or entrepreneurs in the internal market to enforce their rights deriving from Union

law, having regard to the projects funded under the Consumer Programme.

76

After paragraph:



– analytical activities, such as the collection of data and statistics, where appropriate disaggregated by

gender; the development of common methodologies and, where appropriate, indicators or benchmarks;

studies, research, analyses and surveys; evaluations; the elaboration and publication of guides, reports

and educational material; workshops, seminars, experts’ meetings and conferences,

– training activities such as staff exchanges, workshops, seminars, train-the-trainer events and the

development of online training tools or other training modules,

– mutual learning, cooperation, awareness-raising and dissemination activities, such as the identification

of, and exchanges concerning, good practices, innovative approaches and experiences; the organisation

of peer reviews and mutual learning; the organisation of conferences, seminars, media campaigns,

including in the online media, information campaigns, including institutional communication on the

political priorities of the Union as far as they relate to the objectives of the Rights, Equality and

Citizenship Programme (the ‘Programme’); the compilation and publication of materials to disseminate

information about the Programme and its results; the development, operation and maintenance of

systems and tools using information and communication technologies,

– support for main actors whose activities contribute to the implementation of the objectives of the

Programme, such as support for NGOs in the implementation of actions with European added value,

support for key European actors, European-level networks and harmonised services of social value;

specially women's rights organisations, women's shelters, support for Member States in the

implementation of Union law and policies; and support for networking activities at European level

among specialised bodies and entities as well as national, regional and local authorities and NGOs,

including support by way of action grants or operating grants.

Justification:

The social consequences of the crisis demand special attention to women´s situation in the EU, feminisation

of poverty, child poverty and increased violence against women and girls need immediate solutions.

Financial support and adequate resources to women´s rights organisations and women´s shelters are

extremely important.

deriving from Union law, having regard to the projects funded under the Consumer Programme.

Justification:

Despite legislation prohibiting gender-based discrimination in the EU, hourly pay rates for women are about

16% lower, on average, than men's. There are still gender disparities, and women continue to be

overrepresented in low-pay areas of the labour market. In addition, women who decide to have children are

often discriminated against and even sacked. As a result of these circumstances, women are prevented from

playing their full role as citizens in all areas of life.

Justification:

Since the reservation of the 116 000 harmonised telephone number for missing children by EC Decision

2007/116/EC, a hotline is now operational in 27 EU countries. Cases and calls have increased continuously,

with 268.309 calls and 6119 cases in 2014. 25 % of the cases were cross-border. In a survey from 2014, 56

% of the hotlines said that EU funding is vital to their continued operation. To avoid hotlines closing, we ask

that 2 million euro be earmarked for the 116 000 hotlines

Justification:

One of the objectives of this heading is to lessen discrimination and inequalities between men and women.

The social impact of the crisis in Europe since 2008 has led to increased inequalities, particularly as regards

pay. For that reason, increased funding is essential so as to help lessen inequalities and ensure that families

and working mothers have more rights. It is imperative to promote higher birth rates, defend the right to a

proper work-life balance and combat pay inequality.

Justification:

Discrimination remains unfortunately a reality in Europe that many Member States fail to tackle, especially

in times of austerity measures where different types of discrimination increased. Equality policies are at the

same time being seen as a non priority while they should be the main priority. In this context, it appears to be

necessary to increase the EU budget that will enable women, men and children living in the EU not be

discriminated against and to improve their conditions of living.

support for Member States in the implementation of Union law and policies; and support for networking

activities at European level among specialised bodies and entities as well as national, regional and local

authorities and NGOs, including support by way of action grants or operating grants.

– design and apply a gender budgeting methodology to the EU Budget that aims at determining the

following elements: i) identifying the implicit and explicit gender issues; ii) identifying – where

possible - the allied resource allocations; and iii) assessing whether the policy will continue or change

existing inequalities between men and women (and groups of men and women), boys and girls and

patterns of gender relations.

Justification:

Restore the draft budget due to the importance of promoting the principle of non-discrimination. Including a

gender perspective in data, statistics and training activities is in close connection to the achievement of the

objectives related to promoting equality between women and men and to advancing gender mainstreaming.

The implantation of gender budgeting in the EU budgetary process it is necessary to establish appropriate

tools in order to achieve gender equality. Gender budgeting is the application of gender mainstreaming to the

budgetary process.

Pilot project — Europe of diversities

Remarks:

Add following text:

The aim of the PP on "Europe of diversities" is to enhance the motto of the European Union: "United in

diversity" especially on local and regional level. With the pilot project EU citizens in regions with

multicultural and multilingual background, or where minority groups are particularly excluded or subject

to discrimination, would receive the possibility to understand better each other's culture, language and

identity.

Mutual understanding, acceptance and tolerance is a core element of fruitful coexistence of different

ethnic, religious, national and linguistic groups, as well as of different generations and minority groups

more generally.

87

The PP would contribute to the work which has been already done in the field of non-discrimination,

education and language learning, however the objective is to reach different groups of the society and to

foster the multicultural dialogue between the EU citizens on local and regional level on one hand, and

through the exchange of opportunities on EU-level on the other hand.

One of the strengths and richness of the EU is in its diversity. Therefore it should be adequately promoted

and made understood that it is an added value to the EU. The PP would aim to finance trainings,

seminars, workshops, and conferences on how to maintain the uniqueness of Europe of diversities and

how to promote unity in diversity.

It would also promote the exchange of good practices in fighting discrimination and promoting diversity

at local and regional level. Another added value of the PP would be that it could help to identify and

target discriminatory practices at local and regional level, raise awareness about EU citizenship and

rights arising from it and build understanding between majority and minority societies.

Target group: local and regional stakeholders, in particular public authorities (cities, regions,

municipalities) NGOs, youth organisations, schools, civil society and businesses.

Legal basis:

Add following text:




26.10.2012, p. 1).

Justification:

This PP was rated A during the pre-assessment phase of the Commission stating that the project could be

implemented by the Commission.

According to the Commission this proposal would clearly complement its current activities to fight

discrimination and promote diversity management. This project is relevant as it explores the local & regional

dimensions of diversity, which the Commission has not been able to do yet, though they fall under its

mandate in non-discrimination and diversity areas.

Preparatory action — Capacity-building for Roma civil society and strengthening their involvement in the

monitoring of National Roma Integration Strategies

Remarks:

Add following text:

The EU Framework for National Roma Integration Strategies calls on Member States to include strong

monitoring mechanisms and involve civil society, including Roma organisations, in the implementation

and monitoring of the strategies. Capacity-building is needed to prepare local Roma civil society

organisations to contribute to the planning and implementation of the programmes.

The proposed preparatory action would build on the pilot project supported by the European Parliament

in the 2014 and 2015 budgets, which was designed to contribute to the creation and capacity building of

local Roma civil society, as well as providing a monitoring mechanism regarding Roma integration and

inclusion, especially with the production and dissemination of ‘shadow reports’. The ‘shadow reports’

should enable civil society coalitions to supplement or present alternative information and data to the

reports submitted by Member States concerning the implementation of their strategies. Those shadow

reports could provide local knowledge to national and European policy processes and reflect on the real

social impact of government measures. The monitoring would focus on the local implementation of

strategies in the four priority areas (employment, education, housing, health), in the fields of anti-

discrimination and gender equality and would also provide information on the level of involvement of

civil society, the use of EU Funds and mainstreaming of Roma inclusion measures.

Legal basis:

Add following text:

Preparatory action within the meaning of Article 54(2) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the



26.10.2012, p. 1).

Justification:

Shadow reports prepared by civil society organisations are needed, alongside Member States’ ones, to have

an overview of the impact of integration programmes and political commitments at different levels.

A strong Roma civil society and watchdog organisations, with their capacity, knowledge and ability to send

signals about discrimination and hate speech, can contribute to a stronger political will and awareness-

raising on the importance of Roma integration.

Pilot project — E-Voting: "making the best use of modern technologies for more active and democratic

electoral procedures"

Remarks:

Add following text:

Europe has changed a lot in the last 25 years and its society has changed too: EU citizens enjoy their

freedom of movement and they increasingly live and work in other Member States. Their political

participation in their country of origin can be affected by bureaucracy and old electoral procedures. At

the same time, low turnout in the elections, including EP elections, is a challenge for democracies today.

To address these issues, ways should be explored to stimulate participation in the elections by all citizens

abroad and making it easier to cast a vote through streamlined procedures, including by making best use

of modern technologies.

This Pilot Project should explore the potential of alternative ways to cast votes remotely, focusing on the

advantages of an E-Voting system, and lead to a 'Good Practice Guide on Remote Voting', on the basis of

a detailed study. This guide could contribute to making the voting procedure more accessible for citizens,

mobilising a broader group of voters and thus enhancing democratic participation at EU level.

The study will assess, starting from Member States relevant experience and after consultation of relevant

organisations, universities and industries, the advantages and risks attached to remote voting.

Legal basis:

Add following text:




26.10.2012, p. 1).

Justification:

The PP will examine in particular the potential impact of remote voting solutions on the turnout of those EU

citizens who reside in another Member State than their own and on the simplification of the exercise of the

voting rights. It will also examine questions and possible options as regards the protection of the secrecy of

the vote, the prevention of fraud, the guarantee of independence and data protection. Furthermore, the study

will assess financial impacts in particular on the national administrations.

Pilot project — EU Scoreboard for Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights: developing a set of

common indicators

91

Remarks:

Add following text:

Aims:

1. To develop of a set of common indicators to assess the situation for Democracy, Rule of Law and

Fundamental Rights in all EU Member States, indicators could include freedom of speech; freedom of

the press and media pluralism; equality and non-discrimination; freedom of religion, belief, conscience;

independence of the judiciary; freedom of assembly; position of political parties, hurdles for opposition;

separation of powers; development civil society; transparency; rule of law; access to justice.

2. To gather comparable data on the situation for Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights in

all EU Member States;

Outcomes:

1. Building upon already existing fundamental rights standards and monitoring instruments such as the

Justice Scoreboard or the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism for Romania and Bulgaria, the

development of a set of common indicators on the situation for Democracy, Rule of Law and

Fundamental Rights could help assessing the compliance with the EU Treaties and the EU Charter of

Fundamental Rights by all Member States.

2. A set of indicators on the situation of Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights should be

defined in cooperation with international bodies already using similar standards, in particular the

Council of Europe and its Venice Commission, taking into account input from the EU Fundamental

Rights Agency, existing international bodies and civil society organisations working in the area of human

rights and fundamental freedoms and included into an EU scoreboard for Democracy, Rule of Law and

Fundamental Rights, which should serve as a basis for annual country-by-country assessment.

3. Scrutiny should cover all EU Member States, indiscriminately and on an equal, annual basis.

Legal basis:

Add following text:




26.10.2012, p. 1).

Justification:

An EU Scoreboard for Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights (DLR) will be an assessment tool

aiming to yearly evaluate the situation of Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights in all EU

Member States. To assess the situation of DLR, a set of common indicators needs to be developed, to carry

out an impartial, systematic assessment based on objective and comparable data from all Member States,

building upon already existing monitoring mechanisms and fundamental rights standards.

Pilot project — "More than a neighbour" - fostering understanding and cooperation between citizens of

border regions of the EU

Remarks:

Add following text:

The PP aims to foster understanding and cooperation between EU citizens in border regions of the EU

while fighting stereotypes and prejudices and through supporting multilingualism with regard access to

information concerning goods and services. A European logo would be created with the title: "more than

a neighbour". Based on an open competition, selected projects would gain financial support and the right

to use the logo in their activities in case they commit themselves for getting engaged in multilingualism

targeting the better understanding between citizens of neighbouring countries. The activities or the

information on their goods and services will have to be displayed in the languages of the neighbouring

countries of the project. The selection procedure will be run by joint committees, involving officials from

the neighbouring countries concerned. Functioning cross-border EGTCs could also manage such

selection procedures. The European Commission will have the right to authorise such committees for

managing the selection procedure.

The PP would also aim to support cross-border networking at local and regional level.

The Franco-German reconciliation is the solid foundation of the EU. To achieve similar understanding

of the union, the PP would target initially the so called new member states of the EU in order to foster

understanding and cooperation between the nations of Central Europe.

The pilot project will contribute to better understanding between border-communities within the

European Union. Inter-ethnic tensions are present also within the territory of the EU. The project aims to

highlight multilingualism as a basic value of the EU. The prestigious European logo will not only boost

economic gain in the regions involved but will contribute to the development of regional identity as well.

The aim is to overcome tensions rooted in the past with the focus on advantages that cooperation and

reconciliation can bring in the future.

Pilot project — Reproductive health programmes and services

Remarks:

Add following text:

This pilot project aims to support and promote the establishment of reproductive health programmes and

services by the Member States in areas with a shortage of public services (rural areas and others),

including essential care and medicines in the fields of family planning and maternal and neonatal health,

delivered by public health services.

Legal basis:

Add following text:




26.10.2012, p. 1).

Justification:

The austerity policies imposed on the Member States have led to a reduction in public services and notably

in health services, involving the closure of hospitals, health centres, etc., and this is affecting the most

vulnerable sections of the population, particularly women and children.

Preparatory action — Capacity-building for Roma civil society and strengthening their involvement in the

monitoring of National Roma Integration Strategies

Remarks:

97

Add following text:

The EU Framework for National Roma Integration Strategies calls on Member States to include strong

monitoring mechanisms and involve civil society, including Roma organisations, in the implementation

and monitoring of the strategies. Capacity-building is needed to prepare local Roma civil society

organisations to contribute to the planning and implementation of the programmes.

The proposed preparatory action would build on the pilot project supported by the European Parliament

in the 2014 and 2015 budgets, which was designed to contribute to the creation and capacity building of

local Roma civil society, as well as providing a monitoring mechanism regarding Roma integration and

inclusion, especially with the production and dissemination of ‘shadow reports’. The ‘shadow reports’

should enable civil society coalitions to supplement or present alternative information and data to the

reports submitted by Member States concerning the implementation of their strategies. Those shadow

reports could provide local knowledge to national and European policy processes and reflect on the real

social impact of government measures. The monitoring would focus on the local implementation of

strategies in the four priority areas (employment, education, housing, health), in the fields of anti-

discrimination and gender equality and would also provide information on the level of involvement of

civil society, the use of EU Funds and mainstreaming of Roma inclusion measures.

Legal basis:

Add following text:

Preparatory action within the meaning of Article 54(2) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the



26.10.2012, p. 1).

Justification:

Shadow reports prepared by civil society organisations are needed, alongside MS’ reports, to have a real

overview of the impact of integration programmes and political commitments. A strong Roma civil society

and watchdog organisations, with their capacity, knowledge and ability to send signals about discrimination

and hate speech, can contribute to a stronger political will and awareness-raising on the importance of Roma

integration. We need support managed directly by the Commission since Roma organisations might

challenge public authorities and politicians.

Pilot project — Establishment of a Sami Platform in Brussels

Remarks:

Add following text:

The EU's only indigenous people, the Sami people, live in the Arctic regions of Finland and Sweden as

98

well as Norway and Russia. It is crucially important that the voice of the Sami people is heard in the EU

decision-making process to ensure the quality and legitimacy of the EU's Arctic engagement. This

collaboration needs to be mainstreamed.

The main objective of this Pilot Project is therefore to create a new line of funding to establish a stable

platform to ensure that the Sami people are informed and consulted on EU decision-making that affect

them, and include the Sami people and their knowledge to ensure legitimate and responsible EU Arctic

policy, as well as increase the knowledge about the Sami culture in the EU bodies. This initiative would

significantly improve dialogue and information exchange both ways at this crucial time of increased

international interest in the Arctic and the preparation of a renewed EU Arctic Strategy. This Pilot

Project would strengthen cross-border cooperation across the High North and link the Arctic into the

proximity of the EU and the EU into the Arctic region.

Justification:

Pre-school education is crucial for children's development, and high-quality education has a major impact on

self-esteem and on ability to participate in social life. The average European participation rate for children

under three is 30%. In many instances, working parents with no access to child care find themselves forced

to stop working, and that chiefly affects working mothers.

Justification:

Almost two thirds of EU workers, mostly women, report that their work involves repetitive hand and arm

movements and a quarter report exposure to vibrations from equipment - significant risk factors for work-

related musculoskeletal disorders of the neck and upper limbs. In addition to human suffering, costs resulting

from work-related sick leave are very high. In Germany, 460 million days’ sick leave per year resulted in an

estimated loss of productivity of 3.15% of GDP.

Justification:

Eurojust has seen a surge in its caseload and there is an increase in the request from MS to support their

investigation through JITs etc.

With the departure of the ICC all costs for security and services fall to Eurojust. Eurojust would need an

increased budget for the provision of Contract Agents to supervise security in the Arc building and to

provide for the new storage area network.

This will enable Eurojust to support MS in the fight against terrorism and to respond effectively to the

political demands regarding emerging priorities as migration across the Mediterranean and cybercrime.

The European Commission cut Eurojust's original estimates by 3 260 000. The Council cut the Draft Budget

by another 614 084, despite the fact that the fight against terrorism and organised crime should be a priority.

In order to ensure the proper functioning of Eurojust, the bare minimum of 1 875 000 million should be

added to the Commission Draft Budget, meaning to restore the Draft Budget (+ 614 084) and to add the

Pilot project — Consumer Empowerment and Education on the safety of products and market

surveillance in the Digital Single Market

Remarks:

Add following text:

The pilot project on 'Consumer Empowerment and Education in the Digital Single Market' is a dedicated

fund to finance the testing of a strategy to be carried out under the auspices of the European Commission.

The pilot project should contribute to:

- carrying out a large public education campaign on the safety of products and market surveillance to

support consumer and business understanding and appreciation of the challenges associated with e-

commerce;

- undertaking additional coordinated advocacy at Union level.

In a truly connected Digital Single Market, every consumer should be able to trust the safety of the

products purchased online – wherever they are in the EU. It requires building consumer trust and

confidence in the economic operators selling online and the authorities carrying out their enforcement

tasks while empowering and educating consumers to effectively perform their role as responsible buyers.

An empowered, protected and educated digital consumer is an investment in our future: it entails

protecting, giving confidence to the consumers, while enhancing the accountability of tomorrow’s online

consumers. Consequently, national forums are definitely the most suitable to provide consumer education

and to help educate the consumers of tomorrow. In an increasingly globalised world, awareness

regarding your rights as a consumer and what caution you should take is crucial to ensure protection,

confidence and social responsibility while consuming. Given the fast development of the Internet, social

media and online networks and also online offers of (often fashionable) products from anywhere in the

world where safety standards are not the same as in the EU, teenagers are the most likely to suffer from

this lack of awareness.

This project provides a means for stakeholders and citizens to learn about consumer education themselves

and to pass this invaluable information onto everyone through cross curricular projects. In this respect,

also service providers would gain information on how to settle their taxes from transborder transactions,

i.e. on how to efficiently use the VATMOSS system.

Members of the Commission's Expert Group on the safety of products sold online have identified that the

most effective way to protect consumers from risks associated with products purchased by them online is

to raise their awareness about pitfalls linked to this distribution channel and to empower them to make

108

well informed purchase decisions online.

The Expert Group is currently working on a set of guidance for market surveillance authorities which

cover, inter alia, two important elements that contribute to educating and informing consumers about

product safety online:

A) The information that consumers should be aware of (e.g. there are product safety rules and consumers

should look for information about compliance of products with these rules, the fact that authorities are

responsible for checking the internet, but their resources and powers are limited, especially outside the

EU, consumers should make use of complaints or other tools to inform authorities about problems faced

online, etc.)

B) The ways in which this information is conveyed to consumers (through websites, campaigns, social

media, conventional media, consumer organisations, complaints systems, etc.).

When unsafe products are found somewhere in Europe, it is important to have the ability to stop the

products and make the companies recall or withdraw the products from the European market. This will

create more confidence among consumers when it comes to buying products on the European market.

The Pilot Project could also test in practice the recommendations of the guidance (intended to be finalised

by the end of 2015), including making concrete messages available in all EU languages and collecting

feedback. The project should have a start-up phase running from mid-2016 to mid-2017 for drafting

modules and organising the process, and subsequently an operational phase. The modules should be

developed with existing or in progress knowledge and guidelines, improved and added to over time, as

feedback will allow corrections to be made, and changing legislation or markets will necessitate additions.

Justification:

The Digital Single Market is one of the 10 priorities identified by President Juncker in his Political

Guidelines. But without the trust of consumers, the potential of the ecommerce will never be tapped. This

pilot project aims at empowering consumers and at educating them on the safety of products and market

surveillance in the Digital Single Market.

Pilot project — Support for consumer dispute arbitration centres

Remarks:

Add following text:

Often, high legal costs and the slowness of the courts prove to be an obstacle for most individuals

considering how to resolve consumer disputes. Accordingly, arbitration centres have proved increasingly

important as regards consumer protection.

Despite their importance, these centres, especially in the Member States worst hit by the crisis, have been

facing major financial constraints because of both forced cuts in public spending - through economic and

financial adjustment programmes - and the economic governance framework.

Accordingly, the project's objective is to support consumer dispute arbitration centres.

Justification:

Restore the establishment plan as requested by the Management Board (MB) of ECHA.

The AM concerns only posts for ECHA’s tasks under the Biocidal Product Regulation (BPR) which entered

into force in 09/2013. In the 2015 establishment plan, 48 posts were authorised. The MB requested a reduced

number of 42 posts for 2016, 38 of which are already filled, while the DB proposes only 36 posts. ECHA is

afraid that it will be impossible to properly execute its mandate under the BPR without sufficient posts. It

will only recruit additional staff as far as the workload requires and the fee income allows

Justification:

The foreseen increase in staff represents a maximum threshold, considering that EASA must have flexibility

to increase and decrease its staff depending on the level of tasks they are facing at a specific moment in time.

Flexibility ensures quick certification which is essential for boosting EU competitiveness. Moreover, given

the increasing aircraft fleet and numerous new tasks EASA is expected to perform, the need to provide the

agency with an appropriate level of human resources is urgent and in line with the EP mandate on EU

Decentralised Agencies for the Budget 2016.

Justification:

As of 1 January 2016 Solvency II is applicable. EIOPA is going to need sufficient resources in order to

handle its new tasks. This requires additional personnel with supervisory expertise who are able to monitor

the consistency and convergence of the application of Solvency II especially when it comes to EIOPA's

supervisory tasks. In addition, EIOPA will also need more resources for the implementation of the Insurance

Distribution Directive.

Justification:

The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control develops an essential role within the scope of its

competences. As these have been enlarged we propose that the ECDC is allocated the same level of

Commitment and payment appropriations it was granted in the EU BUDG 2015, following the request the

agency itself. Restore the establishment plan of ECDC in view of the challenges faced by the agency (e.g. on

Ebola).

Justification:

Restore establishment plan requested by EMA.

90% of its budget comes from fees. To manage increases in fee-related activities it can only reduce staff by

1% per year. Staffing in 2014 was reduced by 2% and no addition was granted in 2015 despite a 15% rise in

applications and fees. In 2016 it is expected to be 25% higher than 2014. Its inability to recruit permanent,

experienced staff endangers its core activities. For the new pharmacovigilance legislation it was granted 38

posts in the financial statement of which 37 are needed in 2016. These posts create employment with no

impact on EU budget.

Rights Office plays a key role in promoting compliance with fundamental rights, monitoring, addressing

potential violations thereof and in managing the Consultative Forum Secretariat. The Office is understaffed

with the Fundamental Rights Officer and one assistant part-time as the acting Consultative Forum

Secretariat. The increased operational capacity of Agency and the stepped up response in the Mediterranean

makes the provision of adequate staffing indispensable.

Justification:

After the terrorist attacks of early 2015, the increased human smuggling and human trafficking, Europol was

requested to set up new instruments and perform additional tasks, for example in countering human

trafficking, fighting criminal networks and the management of the newly established Counter Terrorism

Centre and the Europol's Internet Referral Unit.

The staff allocated to Europol in the establishment plan 2016 is not ensuring sufficient human resources for

Europol to adequately perform their many new tasks given since 2013.

Justification:

Following the Commission's Agenda on Migration from May 2015 and the Council's conclusions of 24/25

June 2015 as well as the informal JHA Council meeting on 8/9 July, tasks for EASO significantly increased.

All strategic documents call for significant involvement of EASO, mainly in Italy and Greece through the

so-called 'hotspots' approach. Furthermore the Council conclusions call on EASO to coordinate the

implementation of the 'safe country of origin' provision in the Asylum Procedures Directive. In order to fulfil

these tasks an increase in financial and human resources is needed.

Justification:

The additional posts and funding proposed are critical for EASO following the adoption of the European

Agenda on Migration and, in particular, the proposed Council Decision on an urgent relocation mechanism,

and the Recommendation for a European Resettlement Scheme. These proposals call for involvement of

EASO regarding the establishment of ‘hotpsots’ in Italy and Greece. The Office will not be able to execute

the many tasks with which it has been entrusted if it is not given the corresponding staff and funding.

European coordinator for the prevention of violence against women and girls. To this end, its workforce is

proposed to be increased by one AD 9 post.

Remarks:

Add following text:

Where the option is available, the Commission shall avail itself of air companies covered by collective

bargaining agreements and which comply with the relevant ILO Conventions.

Justification:

As the EU recognises the fundamental right of workers to negotiate and agree on working conditions and

wages with their employer, the institutions should as far as possible make use of airlines which recognises

trade unions and which have a good repute with respects to workers' rights.

Item XX 01 02 11 — Other management expenditure of the institution


Remarks:

After paragraph:

Studies and consultations:


– expenditure on specialised studies and consultations contracted out to highly qualified experts

(individuals or firms) if the Commission does not have suitable staff available to carry out such studies,

– the purchase of studies already carried out or subscriptions with specialist research institutions.

– A part of this appropriation is intended for a study on:

– The impact of NGOs on the EU's trade policy and their sources of funding

– In line with the recent transparency initiative of the Commission regarding its trade negotiations, this

study should aim to make the role of NGOs in the EU's trade policy-making as well as their funding

sources more transparent. Based on its findings, the study should further identify possible adjustment

needs of NGO funding support from the EU budget.

– Actions:

– - qualitatively and quantitatively assess the impact of NGO activities in support of or in opposition to

the EU's trade policy objectives based on two case-studies of major policy dossiers in this area,

– - outline the funding sources of the relevant NGOs,

– - if applicable, produce an overview of the amounts made available to NGOs via the EU budget by

budgetary line (incl. from lines/programs that are not related trade) and by type of support, i.e.

operating grant or project-based funding (e.g. reimbursements for travels and/or accommodation

linked to the participation in advisory groups set up by the Commission),

172

– - assess whether NGOs dispose of sufficient funding to effectively fulfil their role as intermediary

between civil society and the political stakeholders,

– - produce recommendations for the policy-makers whether to maintain or adjust the EU funding

policy regarding NGOs.

Justification:

The Committee on Trade supports the recent efforts of the Commission to increase the transparency of the

EU's trade policy, in particular with regard to trade negotiations. Given the increasing role of NGOs as

intermediary between civil society and political stakeholders, they should also be subjected to a higher level

of transparency. The study should contribute to this objective by assessing the impact of NGOs on the EU's

trade policy and by examining where their funding comes from and how it is used.
