Innovative Modelle der Arbeitszeitgestaltung (German Edition)

Neither the European Commission nor Europol have been aware or involved in the work of the Remote Forensic Software User Group, and therefore the Commission's reply to all six questions posed by the Honourable Member is negative. Information about Computer Forensic Network supported by Europol can be found in the latest Europol Review, or at the following address:. The Customs Union between Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia has recently prohibited the import and export of harp seal skins. Two years ago, Russia also prohibited the commercial slaughter of harp seals under one year of age. Does the Council intend officially to congratulate the Russian Federation on its bold step to ban the trade in harp seal products?

The Customs Union between Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia recently prohibited the import and export of harp seal skins. Does the Commission intend officially to congratulate the Russian Federation on its bold step to ban the trade in harp seal products? The Commission notes that the Customs Union between Belarus, Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation now prohibits the import and export of harp seal skins which presumably reflects their concerns with regard to trade in seal products. It has recently been announced that Twickenham Studios is going to be closed for financial reasons.

At a time when the film industry across Europe is struggling to compete with imports from the United States, it seems that we should be doing all we can to protect institutions such as Twickenham Studios. What can the Commission do to help studios like Twickenham so that we can continue to make great films in Europe? It co-finances training initiatives for audiovisual industry professionals, the development of production projects feature films, television drama, documentaries, animation and new media , as well as the promotion of European audiovisual works.

Infrastructure projects are covered by the European Union's Structural Funds. The detailed management of programmes which receive support from the Structural Funds is the responsibility of the Member States. For every programme, they designate a managing authority at national, regional or another level which will inform potential beneficiaries, select the projects and monitor implementation. Details for what possibilities might be available via the Structural Funds in the UK can be obtained from the following website: The findings clearly showed that the self-regulation initiative based on common principles, as established by the Banking Industry Committee EBIC , did not deliver to our consumers the clarity and certainty we had hoped for.

What concrete action — which will also build on the work already carried out by EBIC — does the Commission perceive as feasible? The study carried out for the Commission concludes that the self-regulatory initiative based on Common Principles, as established by the European Banking Industry Committee EBIC , has not been successful in supporting and protecting European consumers when switching a bank account from one bank to another.

The main shortcomings identified by the study to which the Honourable Member refers are:. The Commission is currently assessing how best to overcome such shortcomings and is considering bringing forward a EU initiative on bank accounts aiming to enhance protection of consumers of retail financial services and the integration of the single market.

What activities in this area is the Commission currently engaged in, and what action does it plan to take in the future to support the delivery of this objective? These indicators are reasonably comparable and broken down, whenever possible, by gender, age group or socioeconomic level. Although the manufacture and sale of controlled substances have been well regulated, the use of synthetic drugs has increased. What measures does the Commission think that it needs to take in order to put an end to the online drug trade? What human and financial resources has the Commission deployed to date for the purpose of monitoring and combating the drug trade?

Tackling the sale of new psychoactive substances and the trafficking of illicit drugs falls within the competence of Member States. Understanding the functioning and the scale of this phenomenon is a necessary prerequisite for effective action. The European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, has been monitoring unregulated psychoactive products sold via Internet since Quote per le donne che occupano la funzione di direttore.

Secondo il settimanale, il Commissario ha annunciato l'intenzione di introdurre quote legalmente vincolanti nel caso in cui l'autoregolamentazione non portasse ai risultati attesi. In risposta alle proposte della Commissione, un membro di BusinessEurope, che rappresenta gruppi dei datori di lavoro di 35 paesi, ha affermato che le quote obbligatorie non risolverebbero il problema legato al miglioramento della rappresentanza e che l'unica soluzione sarebbe un approccio volontario a lungo termine.

Inoltre, la Confindustria tedesca BDI ha dichiarato che le quote legali non rappresentano l'economia reale e che cambiamenti nella cultura del posto di lavoro, volti a incoraggiare la presenza delle donne in settori a predominanza maschile e a migliorare l'assistenza all'infanzia, sortirebbero un effetto migliore. La consultazione si rivolge anche alle organizzazioni imprenditoriali o industriali e alle singole imprese, che sono invitate a esprimere il proprio parere. According to the periodical, the Commissioner warned that she would be prepared to introduce legally enforceable quotas if self-regulation proved unsuccessful.

Media reports suggest that the Commissioner believes that this has been the case. In order to ensure meritocracy in the workplace, would the Commission consider a plan to encourage companies to increase female representation on company boards, rather than impose obligations on them to do so? Is the Commission prepared to engage with business groups in order to assess the feasibility and implications of quotas, before making any legally enforceable decisions?

In parallel to the publication of the progress report, the Commission has launched a public consultation that will contribute to assessing the impact of possible EU measures to redress the current situation. The consultation is open also to business or industry organisations and individual companies, which are invited to contribute their views. A decision on possible measures, including on their nature and scope, will be taken by the Commission later this year, after a full impact assessment. In risposta a questi incidenti, il ministro degli Esteri della Libia, Ashur Bin Khayyal, e il presidente del paese, Mustafa Abdul Jalil, hanno condannato l'attacco, definendo la profanazione delle tombe della Seconda Guerra mondiale come immorale, irresponsabile e criminale.

Le condizioni di sicurezza in Libia restano precarie, anche se stanno migliorando. Accogliamo favorevolmente i recenti negoziati sul ritiro dei miliziani da Tripoli e la transizione verso un servizio nazionale di sicurezza controllato a livello centrale.

Nonostante le difficili condizioni, il governo transitorio ha compiuto notevoli progressi verso le elezioni e sta ottenendo un maggiore controllo sulle forze di sicurezza. Over Commonwealth soldiers and airmen were buried in Benghazi, as they played a role in fighting the Axis powers for control over Libya and Egypt. At this point they have made no request for EU assistance. The security situation in Libya remains fragile although it is improving.

We welcome recent negotiations on the withdrawal of militias from Tripoli and the transition towards centrally controlled national security services. Our assessment remains that the vast majority of the Libyan people remain focused on democratic transition and successful June elections rather than sectarian considerations. The transitional administration has made impressive progress in difficult conditions towards the delivery of elections and the delivery of greater control over security. Significant challenges remain, but we cannot expect instantaneous success so soon after major conflict.

The direction of progress remains positive and the transitional administration continues to work with communities and the militias to curtail and respond to local outbreaks of violence when they occur. The lifting of sanctions in Zimbabwe offers scope for progress in the area and will allow for greater dialogue between international actors and members of the Zimbabwean government.

What will ensure that such progress leads to true electoral and governmental reform in the country? These efforts aim, in particular, at the full implementation of the Global Political Agreement, while in parallel ensuring a conductive environment for free and credible elections in Zimbabwe. This creates renewed scope for political re-engagement, paving the way for genuine electoral and governmental reform. At the same time, the Commission continues to apply rigorous standards and measures for monitoring, evaluation and audit in the implementations of its programmes, including in the agricultural sector.

Furthermore, these medications, which are taken to aid sleep, are also associated with an increased risk of cancer. The medicinal products in question belong to the benzodiazepine family, such as zolpidem, barbiturates and antihistamine sedatives. Although the authors acknowledge that the association between these medications and the risk of death does not necessarily imply a causal link, they are sounding the alarm and warning against overuse of these medications. A medicinal product is further subject to a post-marketing surveillance, safety concerns as higher risk of death or cancer being part of pharmacovigilance, for which obligations to marketing authorisation holders and competent authorities are set by the legislation.

The study by Kripke et al. The results of the study, given a number of limitations in the study design, have not raised particular concerns. With the aim to identifying further data which would justify the need for more substantial discussion, the Working Party proposed to investigate within the scientific network whether any other independent research is being done.

This work is currently ongoing. Last week, similar warnings were received by two other journalists from Grodno who work with Radio Racyja and Belsat, a Belarusian-language television station broadcasting from Poland. The Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has repeatedly refused to grant accreditation to journalists from Radio Racyja and Belsat, without providing any reason for this refusal.

The restrictions on, and harassment of, independent media are part of the ongoing repression in this country. The decree containing this authorisation was repealed by the Supreme Court in because it did not include environmental protection measures or a restoration plan appropriate for the proposed works. Ten years on, the current Spanish Government is trying to resume these oil prospection activities by reactivating this authorisation, thereby renewing the threat to the marine diversity of the coast of the Canary Islands and the possibility of damage to the tourist industry, which is their main economic activity.

It falls in general within the competence of the Member States to determine the conditions for exploiting their energy resources. The Commission has requested information from the competent Spanish authorities concerning compliance with the relevant requirements under EU environmental law. The Commission should note that Ireland has already taken a number of steps to opt-in under the JHA basis. Why, at this stage, is the Commission creating legal uncertainty with regard to the legal basis of the CBED? The main objective of this directive is to improve road safety, what is a prime objective of the Union's transport policy.

For reasons of legal security, the annulment of the directive was requested in such a way that the effects shall remain in place. The Commission welcomes the decision taken by Ireland to implement the provisions of the directive. Priimant tokius investavimo sprendimus Komisija tiesiogiai nedalyvauja. I would like to thank you for the fact that your efforts in recent years have done much to strengthen the internal energy market, increase the energy security of the entire EU and ensure security of energy supplies.

This dependence will continue until the creation of the internal energy market is fully completed and the facilities are built that will generate the required amounts of energy. Lithuania, like the other Baltic countries, receives most of its energy from one sole external supplier, and its dependence on it is obvious. Furthermore, the nuclear power plants planned by Russia and Belarus would only further increase the dependence, not only of the Baltic States, but of the entire EU, and not just on the supply of gas, but also of electricity.

Does the Commission agree that given the situation that has arisen and in order to ensure greater security of energy supply and create a single, independent and competitive EU internal energy market, we should exceptionally examine the possibility of partially financing the construction of Visaginas Nuclear Power Plant from EU funds? Investment decisions are the sole responsibility of investors and the Member State concerned. The Commission is not directly involved in such investment decisions. The system would thus be similar to those of other Member States, such as France or the Netherlands.

In that case, given the severity of the situation and the strategic importance of finding a solution, when will the Commission make a decision? The Commission services are discussing possible options with the Spanish authorities, but no decision has been taken. The Commission is aware of the importance of the measure for certain Spanish regions. This will be of course taken into consideration, but the Commission must also take account of the complaints received concerning the Spanish Tax Lease STL scheme in force since and of the implications of any possible measures on competition and other companies of the industry outside Spain.

The Commission confirms it is not aware of any scheme applicable in other Member States and comparable to the Spanish Tax Lease. If it was aware of any such scheme, the Commission would assess it and ensure equal treatment in the application of the rules on state aid laid down in the Treaty. Deutschland und andere bereits ein erprobtes und krisensicheres Sicherungssystem der Betriebsrenten besitzen.

EUR rechnet, sollten die neuen Eigenkapitalvorschriften umgesetzt werden? There has been a lot of criticism regarding the White Paper on pensions and the consideration given by the Commission to the proposal to allow occupational pensions to come under the Solvency II regime. How does the Commission justify the fact that, in future, occupational pensions will be subject to the same rules as ordinary financial products? The additional pension provision would be individualised with banks and insurance companies.

Straightforward administration and modest costs would no longer be possible. The argument of improved consumer protection does not apply in many Member States because, in Germany and other countries, for example, a tried-and-tested, crisis-proof system of securing occupational pensions already exists. The Commission has not proposed that occupational pensions would be subject to the Solvency II regime. The White Paper on pensions does not mention that the Commission intends to present such a proposal. According to both the Greek media and professional associations, an increasing number of Greek international transport operators TIR are ostensibly transferring to neighbouring countries, where one of the advantages they enjoy is significantly lower taxation.

This constitutes unfair competition against fellow companies and results in lost tax revenue for the Member States in which they are actually established, in this case Greece. The regulation does not set rules on the corporate taxation levels applied to road transport operators. Diskriminierung auf dem Wohnungsmarkt. Falls ja, welche rechtliche Bestimmung ist genau betroffen? Falls ja, welche Schritte schweben Ihnen vor, und auf welcher Ebene? Eine Liste dieser Stellen ist hier abrufbar: It was brought to my attention by a German EU citizen living in France that he faces what appears to be discriminatory treatment in the housing market.

When applying to rent flats, the citizen in question was repeatedly asked by landlords and letting agents to provide a French guarantor in addition to the ordinary deposit , despite the fact that his regular income was several times higher than the rent. He was told that a guarantor would not be asked for if he were French.

To your knowledge, does this case reflect a general practice and problem in the European Union or some of its Member States? Are you of the opinion that such practices constitute discrimination based on nationality inconsistent with EU legislation? If so, what exact legal provision is concerned? If such practices are not banned by existing EU legislation, do you intend to take any action to make it illegal? Are you of the opinion that local, regional, national or European authorities should take any action not necessarily legal to prevent such practices in the future?

If so, what steps do you envisage and at what level? If the transaction in question concerns a contractual relationship between an individual and a private landlord, parties are free to decide within the applicable rules and regulations to whom to offer their goods and services and under which terms and conditions. Requiring a guarantee only to service recipients of another nationality could appear to breach this principle unless this requirement proves to be objectively justified. In this case, a complaint for an alleged violation of the Services Directive should be addressed to the French authorities.

A list of these bodies can be found at: The Commission proposals on CAP reform leave beet and isoglucose producers in a free market whilst maintaining constraints on cane refiners in a regulated market. Will the Commission explain its thinking — in particular as regards whether it is treating the two sectors equally or is in fact deliberately favouring one over the other? In general the Commission carefully avoids favouring one sector over another.

Sugar beet processors need beet from farmers locally available over a period of four months a year only.

Sugar refiners source year round raw sugar. Moreover, sugar can be sourced in other parts of the world where prices are typically below the Union prices. This sugar is mainly used for inward processing and tolling. Currently quotas effectively limit the possibilities to use raw material to produce sugar from beet and to produce isoglucose, while sugar refiners operate without limits as to their production. The Commission is of the view that the current sugar policies strike the right balance between different operators.

As a result of the reform many less efficient producers have ceased production, increasing the overall competitiveness of the remaining operators. Falls nicht, kann die Kommission die wichtigsten Ergebnisse des Dokuments zusammenfassen? The Commission will send a copy of this document directly to the Honourable Member and to the Secretariat General of the Parliament. I residenti hanno riferito che gli estremisti si sono allontanati con tre carri armati e veicoli corazzati.

In febbraio Al-Qaeda ha lanciato un attacco suicida al palazzo presidenziale, uccidendo venticinque persone. Alla luce della fragile situazione della sicurezza nello Yemen, quali sono le prospettive di successo per un dialogo nazionale e un processo di riconciliazione e di riforma costituzionale? Ha poi ribadito, sia direttamente al presidente Hadi che in una dichiarazione pubblica, che la violenza non deve compromettere il processo di transizione nello Yemen.

In questo momento le prospettive di successo del dialogo nazionale e del processo di riconciliazione e di riforma costituzionale sono difficili da valutare. Occorre una strategia globale e approfondita. Residents even reported that extremists drove away with three tanks and armoured vehicles. There are many towns and villages in southern Yemen that are overrun by Islamists. To date, the government has been unable to unseat them, and their presence is being bolstered by the arrival of foreign fighters.

It occurred the day after Hadi was sworn into office. It is however true that the mainstream parties in Yemen as well as the international community are convinced of the necessity of this process to lead the country through the transition phase and beyond. The threats to stability in the country are multiple, ranging from terrorism to food shortage and unemployment. The answer to terrorism cannot be military only — it has to be political, social and economic.

It needs a thorough and comprehensive strategy. The EU, in collaboration with international partners and the Government of Yemen, is identifying the main priorities and the sequence in which they need to be addressed. It is clear however, that security issues, including restructuring of the security sector as well as addressing the immediate basic needs of the population, are among the priorities that need urgent attention. Il regolamento CE n. Checks on the implementation of the rules concerning health and safety at work are not explicitly excluded from the wording of the decree.

It will, where necessary, contact the national authorities to obtain further information and clarifications. The maritime transport sector makes a significant contribution to the prosperity of the Baltic Sea Region. Eliminating or simplifying administrative procedures in intra-EU maritime transport would make maritime transport more attractive, more efficient and more competitive. Creating a European maritime transport space without barriers should boost the overall effectiveness of intra-EU maritime transport. The aim should be to remove major administrative obstacles to the development of shipping.

According to one of the main projects of the second pillar of the strategy for the Baltic Sea Region, provision is made for the implementation in the Baltic Sea Region of a European maritime transport space without barriers. Can the Commission provide information about the measures being taken to reduce the administrative burden faced by shipping companies? Has it begun to examine existing legal and administrative obstacles in order to simplify administrative formalities? Are amendments being made to the regulatory and administrative framework? Which countries are involved in the implementation of this project?

What amount of funding is required and how much funds are currently allocated to implement this project? These measures will benefit to all Member States. They do not include dedicated funding but the initiative is indirectly supported by subsidies granted to projects presented in the framework of the trans-European Transport Network Programme, notably in view to establish single windows in ports. The European Union and Russia are important trade partners. Customs play an important role in ensuring smooth and safe mutual trade.

There is a need to strengthen cooperation further and to improve infrastructure at border points. According to the first priority area of the second pillar of the strategy for the Baltic Sea Region, the main aim is to remove internal market obstacles and improve cooperation in the area of customs and taxation. Can the Commission say what progress Russia has made in implementing the legislative, administrative and procedural measures that will improve the situation on the border?

What actions have been carried out to establish and develop border crossing points and customs infrastructure? What results have been achieved in implementing a pilot project on EU- Russia information exchanges? What measures are being taken to improve EU-Russia border control procedures? The Commission pursues customs cooperation with Russia as a matter of priority in order to facilitate legitimate trade while enhancing the security and safety of the supply chain and fighting against fraud.

The framework is based on three priorities: A number of steps have been taken in order to implement these priorities with emphasis on the treatment of Authorised Economic Operators AEOs and legislative convergence. National expert groups have been established on harmonising customs legislation and procedures, achieving greater trade facilitation on the basis of trade operators' compliance and enhancing application of risk management methods.

Given the current slowdown in economic growth and the increased unemployment rate, it is very important to pay more attention to active labour market policy and changing labour market needs.

The labour market in the Baltic Sea Region has shrunk due to demographic changes and migration processes. Large-scale employment, quality jobs and a skilled workforce are important factors for ensuring that the region is competitive and attractive. What measures are directed at managing and coordinating common aspects of the labour market of the Baltic Sea Region? What progress has been made in the area of cooperation between national employment services?

Europe sets a headline target of This target has been translated into national targets. The Commission also put forward Flagship Initiatives to encourage progress, setting out priority actions both for Member States and itself. It also assesses the progress on priority actions and towards the targets and drafts country specific recommendations. The Commission actively encourages public employment services to cooperate and exchange best practice,. This programme reinforces existing activities, including cooperation in and between EU public employment services, including those of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

Promoting the development of digital television, the European Parliament adopted a resolution in which it is recommended that EU Member States switch off analogue terrestrial television by Multiplexed digital streams allow a large proportion of the frequency spectrum to be freed up. Freed-up frequencies can be used by Internet, mobile phone and other service providers. More effective frequency use will contribute to reducing the digital divide: Can the Commission indicate what measures are being used to coordinate the use of the digital dividend so that it is used more effectively?

How are companies being encouraged to provide broadband services in sparsely populated areas? What has been achieved in the area of developing models of enhanced Member State cooperation for multilateral coordination and market control? In terms of direct assistance to Member States, the Commission, assisted by the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations CEPT , provided political support to facilitate the conclusion of individual agreements between Member States and Russia and other Eastern European countries with regard the coordination of the MHz band.

Small and medium-sized enterprises SMEs are regarded as the backbone of the European economy, and they have a huge potential for job creation, growth and innovation. Better access for SMEs to procurement markets would enable them to unlock this potential. It is very important to make it easier for SMEs to participate in public procurement procedures. In order to promote progressive and sustainable public procurement growth, the rules need to be simplified, made more efficient, effective and better suited to deal with the evolving political, social and economic context.

Streamlined and more-efficient procedures will benefit all economic operators. I would like to ask the Commission what results have been achieved using the opportunities provided by the European Code of Best Practices to remove barriers to the development of small and medium-sized enterprises SMEs?

What specific measures are being taken to make public contracts more accessible to SMEs? Some of the new measures will particularly benefit SMEs: The Baltic Sea region must maintain and develop the fisheries sector, transforming it into a cost-efficient and socially beneficial area of activity. There is a need to ensure sustainable fishing along the Baltic Sea coast, social significance and sustainable development, as well as to promote cross-border cooperation between fisheries regions and the coordination of activities.

The globalisation of trade and the movement of animals and animal foodstuffs has created the environment for serious animal disease epidemics to occur. There is a need to be prepared to eradicate dangerous contagious animal diseases and outbreaks of exotic animal diseases that are currently on the increase.

Animal health risks must be prevented through a socially responsible animal disease prevention and control policy. According to the fourth priority area of the second pillar of the strategy for the Baltic Sea Region, the main objective is to reinforce sustainable agriculture, forestry and fishing. Could the Commission provide information on the results achieved in stopping discards? What means are being used to develop coordination of Member State and stakeholder activities and cooperation between Member States and stakeholders in fisheries management?

The Danish-led flagship project on eradicating discards is ongoing. There is a draft road map for eliminating discards in the Baltic, and a discard ban has been tabled as a part of the Common Fisheries Plan CFP reform package. As part of its proposals for the reform of the common fisheries policy, the Commission has proposed to strengthen the use of eco-system based multi-annual plans in fisheries management in order to ensure the exploitation of stocks at sustainable levels by It also aims at informing Member States on national aquaculture initiatives and future Commission guidelines.

The Baltic Member States' initiative, Baltfish, develops coordination among fisheries administrators, industry, regional. In the frame of the abovementioned EU Strategy, strict cooperation is ongoing in several fields, such as contingency planning, training and others. Netrukus tinklas veiks visose akreditavimo srityse pvz. An even closer and more effective single market needs to be established in order to increase the competitiveness of the economy and boost its growth and job creation.

There must no longer be single market obstacles in the European Union market. Could the Commission indicate what results have been achieved in the area of identifying and removing internal market barriers? How is cooperation between Solvit centres in the countries of the region being activated? Has a platform been created for the exchange of experience regarding establishing, financing and developing product contact points in the Baltic Sea Region? In , the project to remove Single Market barriers is focusing on three modules: Polish Ministry of Economy ; exchange of best practice between the contact points for goods and services lead: In the framework of EUGO network.

So far, experts on the internal market from each Member State have formed a cooperative group to exchange best practice, to make an inventory of trade barriers and.

The forestry sector plays an important role in the Baltic Sea region, as it does throughout the European Union. The practice of forestry should be economically, ecologically, socially and culturally sustainable. Furthermore, it must guarantee the long-term conservation and sustainable utilisation of national plant genetic resources, as well as detailed, reliable and safe information about national plant genetic resources.

Rural areas are particularly important for the development of the Baltic Sea region. Increasingly, they are facing common social and economic problems caused by weak demographic structures and a lack of job opportunities and basic services. Reinforcing sustainable agriculture, forestry and fishing is one of the priority areas of the strategy for the Baltic Sea region. I would like to ask the Commission what projects are being implemented to ensure sustainable forest management in the Baltic Sea region?

What progress has been made in developing the work of networks of regional institutions and ensuring the sustainable conservation and utilisation of plant genetic resources that are so important for nutrition and agriculture? What projects have been launched in the area of rural development to unite the people of the region and ensure sustainable rural development and livelihoods? This is led by the European Forest Institute. The flagship project is an umbrella with sub-projects listed in the action plan that can be found at http: EU Member States around the Baltic Sea participate in the European forest genetic resources programme and the European information system on forest genetic resources.

The development of the work on plant genetic resources is based on a cooperation between NordGen, Vavilov Institute in St. Petersburg, and the gene banks in the Baltic States. This project promotes a development of the networks, meetings, common databases, and work within the framework of European projects.

The flagship project is striving to better integrate the rural youth. If there is only one award criterion for the contract, this will always be the lowest price. These prices are compared net of VAT and the cost of the VAT must be added to the service if the contract is awarded to a commercial firm.

Arbeitszeitmodelle der Zukunft

In awarding the contract to a non-profit-making organisation exempt from VAT, the public authority does not have to pay VAT but the organisation, as an end consumer, is obliged to pay VAT on its general costs and on any products and services it must purchase to provide the service contracted to it by the authority.

This results in higher costs for the welfare organisation, which are discriminatory because if the successful tenderer is a commercial firm, the VAT paid out will be refunded through its VAT assessment. Awarding a contract to a commercial firm when determining the economically most advantageous tender, without taking into account VAT costs, obliges the public authority to take responsibility for the additional cost of the VAT for the service contracted.

Does the Commission believe that the price to be compared should be the total cost of the tender, including VAT, which is the actual cost of the service to the public authority awarding the contract? Does the Commission consider that the net price should be the price for which services are contracted, to which VAT will be added only in the case of commercial firms? The Commission would like to inform the Honourable Member of the Parliament that as a matter of principle, contracting authorities are free to design the award criteria for their award procedures, provided that EU procurement law is respected.

EU public procurement rules do not prohibit the lowest price award criterion or price as part of the award criteria of the most economically advantageous tender to be calculated either with or without VAT. Because Nadarkhanis continues to refuse to revert to the Islamic faith, it seems that preparations are in train for his execution. The actions of which this cleric is accused do not constitute crimes, but rather the exercising of a religious freedom, which is also enshrined in Iranian national law.

Accordingly, his arrest alone constituted a blatant breach of human rights. He should be able to freely practice his religion in accordance with the international human rights obligations that Iran has itself signed up to, notably regarding freedom of religion or belief. This call has been transmitted directly to the Iranian authorities, as well as by public statements that have been published on the Internet and social media, in Farsi as well as in English.

There is also a significant number of agents who simultaneously represent professional footballers and coaches, giving rise to a major conflict of interests. Can the Commission say:. Does it consider that conflict of interest issues do in fact arise in the course of the professional footballer transfer procedure as a result of the participation of agents who maintain non-transparent financial relations with the parties they do business with? In relation to the questions raised by the Honourable Member, the answers from the Commission are as follows:.

The participants in the conference concluded that a self-regulatory approach by the sports movement was the most appropriate way forward, even though future EU action should remain possible if self-regulation fails to deliver the expected results. The standardisation of agents' activities through a process led by the European Standardisation Committee CEN and the social dialogue on professional football were retained as the most effective frameworks for further work.

In line with the conclusions of the Conference, the Commission is pursuing its dialogue with football stakeholders towards a possible standardisation of the profession of football agent at European level. The Commission shares the Honourable Member's opinion that situations of conflict of interest may arise in connection with transfers of professional footballers. To shed light on the legal and economic aspects of transfers of professional players, the Commission has launched a study which should be finalised by the end of The results of the study will help the Commission assess which type of action may be needed in this field.

The Commission considers that if cases of financial crime are detected in connection with agents' activities, the relevant national and international legislation in the fields of, inter alia , corruption, fraud and money laundering should be applied. It has been established that the zoo, located in Galicia, breaches the most basic animal welfare and care rules, subjecting its animals systematically to being touched and using some of them to make advertisements and other types of recordings, such as those posted on its website. Given that the above situation is incompatible with the rules governing the keeping of wild animals in zoos:.

The Commission is aware of the existence of this zoo through a number of complaints received on the subject. This information has been made public at: The Commission has no grounds to identify any failing on the obligations of the Kingdom of Spain concerning this establishment. How does the Commission plan to mobilise the financial resources needed to support the functioning of the Pact process, modelled on the Covenant of Mayors, Smart Cities and other similar EU initiatives?

Will it encourage other European islands to join the Pact in order to establish a genuine island network? In support of the Pact of Islands goals, the Commission launched an Isle-Pact project to assist each participating island in the preparation of an Island Sustainable Energy Action Plan and of a list of potentially bankable projects.

Financial resources for such projects should be primarily sought from financial institutions hence the stress on the projects' bankability , as well as from the available financial instruments under existing EU policies and programmes such as , structural and cohesion funds, for example. The Isle-Pact is not conceived to result in a network of islands beyond those participating in the project.

However, since its inception, nine Italian island authorities not covered by the Isles-Pact project have signed the Pact of Islands and two Cypriot municipalities are expected to sign soon. Each new signatory commits to the preparation of an Island Sustainable Energy Action Plan within a year of signature and it is proposed that technical assistance be given to new signatories as well. To the northwest of Thessaloniki, in Efkarpia, a suburb in the municipality of Pavlos Melas, construction has started on a waste transhipment station and sorting centre for recyclable materials.

This project, which is subsidised by the European Regional Development Fund, has provoked angry reactions from local residents. The same plot of land will house a waste water treatment plant and a sorting centre for recyclable materials. Can the Commission say whether regional planning in respect of Thessaloniki has been modified? Will the other waste transhipment stations go ahead? If not, why not? By , Member States shall set up separate collection for at least paper, metal, plastic and glass. These provisions do not exclude that different waste streams are collected together and separated in a sorting centre: Further information on changes that possibly have been made to the regional planning in Thessaloniki should be obtained from the competent regional authorities.

Can the Commission still indicate if it agrees with the PVV that a two-state solution does not offer any benefit as long as Hamas, fully in keeping with Islamic doctrine, seeks the destruction of the State of Israel?

The Commission is not aware of any internal report with the specific name referred to by the Honourable Member. Resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict remains a strategic priority for Europe. Since , Podkarpackie pre-school centres have been established as part of an EU project. Initially there were 50, and this number had grown to 81 by Podkarpackie is a unique region in Poland that mainly comprises agricultural land, and its small towns and villages are experiencing difficulties relating to pre-school education.

What forms of EU funding are available to those pre-school centres that are already in operation? One of the objectives of the European Social Fund's Human Capital operational programme for is to increase access to pre-school education for children aged 3 to 5, especially in areas with limited pre-school capacity. The Fund's resources cannot otherwise be used effectively in this field. The establishment of new pre-school facilities and support for existing pre-school centres that provide new places for children are both eligible under the call.

In the regional operational programme Podkarpackie under the priority Public Infrastructure there was number of projects implemented in the education field primary schools that contributed to the creation of the places in the pre-school centres. The total number of these newly created places is as per last implementation report available. These places were distributed among municipal and country side located centres. Will the amalgamation of all existing programmes into a single programme not result in the marginalisation of education for the elderly and the socially excluded?

Precisely to avoid the marginalisation of any one sector, the same text also spells out minimum percentages by sector to ensure that the funding going to any given sector is in under no circumstances reduced below the levels of the programmes for the period. In order to best serve the needs of the sector, to ensure an institutional impact and to increase European added value, both mobility of staff active in adult education and cooperation projects between adult education institutions and other stakeholders will be significantly strengthened.

With a view to exploiting synergies with other European funding programmes and to avoiding overlap, the continuing training of adults in the labour market will be channelled through other European Union EU funding programmes, in particular the European Social Fund. It also emphasises the importance of adult learning as a means of fostering solidarity between different age groups. This is extremely annoying and inconvenient for those Member States and producers who have made investments in their holdings in order to comply with the deadline for implementation.

If better and swifter implementation of EU rules is not ensured, this will lead to an undermining of the internal market, as it will in fact result in the distortion of competition. Will the Commission take the initiative to ensure that there is a legal basis for collecting data — including within the deadline for implementation — on progress made in the implementation of EU legislation in Member States?

The Commission has an implementation plan for group housing of sows in place for Collecting data from the Member States on the current and future implementation of group housing of sows is one of the actions laid down in the implementation plan. The Commission does not intend to make a proposal to amend the current legislation as it would not provide a legal basis before the entry into force of the new provisions.

Due to administrative and other problems, the Ukrainian asylum system is chaotic, and the asylum-seekers risk harassment and attacks from the local population if they leave the facility. Many have crossed the border to Poland to claim asylum there but have been sent back, in line with the EU-Ukraine readmission agreement. Belgium and Greece by the European Court of Human Rights, does the Commission agree that compliance with human rights standards should always be checked before implementing readmission agreements? Does the Commission consider Poland to be in breach of the principle of non-refoulement when it implements the readmission agreement in the face of clear evidence of persons returned being subjected to cruel treatment?

Will the Commission ask Poland to check whether Ukraine complies with human rights standards and guarantees fair treatment to asylum-seekers before sending more applicants back? Is the Commission raising the issue of the malfunctioning asylum system, and the harassment and violence directed against asylum-seekers, as part of the negotiations on an EU-Ukraine Association Agreement? When returning a migrant using a readmission procedure, Member States must always respect the principle of non-refoulement, which requires that no person is sent to a country where they may be subjected to persecution, torture or inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

Home affairs issues, including asylum are discussed every year in the cooperation fora with Ukraine. The Commission services and EEAS are currently reporting on the legislative phase of the action plan. Has the EEAS engaged with gay rights activists, in either Gaza or the West Bank, in order to ascertain the real situation faced by gay men and women in Palestine? Towards the end of last year, the Commission issued a press release concerning the European Institute of Innovation and Technology EIT , and its plans to establish other cross-border centres of innovation called Knowledge and Innovation Communities.

The plans include, amongst other things, setting up six new KICs by , concentrating on three areas:. From information on the EIT website, it would appear that 18 such centres have already been established, of which only two are located in countries that joined the European Union in or after How does the Commission intend to ensure a balance in the distribution of such important centres of innovation, which have an impact not only in terms of finding general solutions for Europe, but also on regional development?

This latter proposal in turn recommends that there should be six more KICs in the period , to be launched in two waves, in and respectively. The selection of KICs will, as it currently is, be entirely the responsibility of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology EIT , as provided for by the regulation establishing it. The KICs will be selected on the basis of criteria described in a specific call for proposals which will be published by the EIT in due time.

The KICs will, as in the past, be selected on the basis of excellence, not on the basis of a specific geographical distribution. The Commission cannot influence the selection of KICs. Such outreach will ensure that the experience and benefits of the EIT promote the development of innovation capacity in all areas of the Union. In recent years, since the expansion of the Schengen area, a significant increase in cross-border road traffic has been recorded — European citizens moving around to visit various locations in Europe or pursue economic interests, either for private reasons or as part of their professional activities.

In addition, an increasing number of European citizens are crossing borders on a daily or weekly basis to go to work in another Member State. Often, however, after crossing the border, they become disorientated with regard to the traffic rules and principles of that Member State because of the different road safety policies in place at present. Member States are responsible for making sure that at cross-border points, traffic rules applied on their territory are well displayed such as speed limits, use of traffic lights.

These prices are compared net of VAT, and the cost of the VAT must be added to the service if the contract is awarded to a commercial company. In awarding the tender to a VAT exempt non-profit institution, the public authority does not have to pay the tax but the institution, as an end consumer, is obliged to pay VAT on its general costs and on any goods and services it must purchase to provide the service contracted to it by the authority. This means that welfare organisations incur certain higher costs, and are therefore discriminated against, since, if the successful tenderer is a commercial company, the VAT paid out will be refunded in its tax assessment.

Awarding a contract to a commercial company when determining the most advantageous tender, without taking into account the cost of VAT, obliges the public authority to bear the additional cost of the VAT for the service contracted. Given the specific nature of non-profit welfare institutions that must bear the cost of the VAT they pay, without having the advantage of their final tendered price being considered on equal terms with the VAT-included price tendered by a commercial company,.

What criteria would the Commission establish to prevent such discrimination against non-profit welfare institutions? An exemption of this type also involves economic advantages for these organisations, which will have to pay the VAT on their purchases but will not be required to charge VAT on the services they provide thus keeping their prices down. In addition, not-profit-making organisations must charge VAT each time they supply goods or services which do not fall within the strict framework of the exemption. They are then in the same position as any other taxable person carrying out transactions which are subject to VAT.

In any event, an offer submitted by a tenderer enjoying a competitive advantage resulting from a state aid i. Puertos catalanes que no tienen permiso para operar fuera del espacio Schengen. The Spanish Senate recently voted against this. To achieve this, it must be possible to switch between the two forms of transport with only one customs process. As regards the crossing of an external Schengen border by persons, according to the Schengen Borders Code, it is in the discretion of the respective Member State which locations it designates as such border crossing points which must comply with the standards as set out in the Schengen Borders Code.

The Commission shall be notified of these border crossing points, and Spain has not notified Palamos port. Can the Commission indicate what stage has been reached in the infringement proceedings? Is the principle of non-discrimination among the principles infringed? For which specific reasons? Is the Commission aware of the serious economic repercussions that these measures are causing and of the unease and protests that have arisen on both sides of the border between Spain and Portugal?

The Galician press recently claimed that the Portuguese Government has now responded to the reasoned opinion. Can the Commission confirm this? What did the Portuguese authorities state in that response? Skip to content Skip to search.
