COUNCIL DECISION of 25 February 1964 on the application to the French overseas departments of certain provisions of the Treaty relating to the right of establishment and to payments (64/350/EEC)  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 227 (2) thereof;  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;  Whereas pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 227 (2) it is for the Council to determine the conditions under which the provisions of the Treaty which are not listed in the first subparagraph of Article 227 (2), and in particular those of Articles 52 to 58 and 106 of the Treaty, are to apply to the French overseas departments;  Whereas the condition of the economy of those departments and the requirements for their economic and social development make it appropriats to apply Articles 52 to 58 and certain provisions of Article 106 of the Treaty;  HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:    Article 1 Articles 52 to 58 of the Treaty shall apply to the French overseas departments under the conditions laid down in this Decision.  At the time when the directives implementing the General Programme for the Abolition of Restrictions on Freedom of Establishment are adopted, the Council may as an exception and to the extent necessary issue special directives on the establishment of persons and companies or firms in the French overseas departments.   Article 2 Without prejudice to the implementation of the measures adopted pursuant to the Treaty and to the Implementing Convention of 25 March 1957 and of those to be adopted pursuant to Article 1, the right of establishment in the French overseas departments shall be progressively extended to the companies or firms and nationals of Member States other than France, so that all discrimination may disappear not later than three years after the application of this Decision.  The Council, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, shall issue the necessary directives for the implementation of that progressive extension.  However, the nationals and companies or firms of a Member State shall only be able to benefit, in respect of a given activity, in a French overseas department from the provisions of the first paragraph to the extent to which the State of which they are nationals grants in respect of the same activity advantages of the same kind to French nationals and companies or firms.   Article 3 The provisions of Article 106 of the Treaty, in so far as they are not affected by the Council Decision of 11 May 1960 on the application to Algeria and to the French overseas departments of the provisions of the Treaty concerning capital movements, shall apply to the French overseas departments.   Article 4 This Decision shall be applied by the Member States on the same date as the Council Decision on the association of the overseas countries and territories with the European Economic Community.  That date shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.     Done at Brussels, 25 February 1964.  For the Council  The President  H. FAYAT

Decides to amend its Rules of Procedure as shown below;2. Points out that the amendments will enter into force on the first day of the next part-session;3. Instructs its President to forward this decision to the Council and the Commission, for information.PRESENT TEXT | AMENDMENTS |Amendment 1Rule 801. When a Commission proposal for official codification of Community legislation is submitted to Parliament, it shall be referred to the committee responsible for legal affairs. Provided that it is ascertained that the proposal does not entail any change of substance to existing Community legislation, the procedure laid down in Rule 43 shall be followed. | 1. When a Commission proposal for codification of Community legislation is submitted to Parliament, it shall be referred to the committee responsible for legal affairs. The latter shall examine it in accordance with the arrangements agreed at interinstitutional level [3] in order to ascertain that it is a straightforward codification, with no changes of a substantive nature. |2. The chairman of the committee responsible or the rapporteur appointed by that committee may participate in the examination and revision of the proposal for codification. If necessary, the committee responsible may give its opinion beforehand. | 2. The committee which was responsible for the acts to be codified may, at its own request or at the request of the committee responsible for legal affairs, be asked to give its opinion on the desirability of codification. |3. Notwithstanding the provisions of Rule 43(3), the simplified procedure may not be applied to a proposal for official codification where this procedure is opposed by a majority of the members of the committee responsible for legal affairs or of the committee responsible. | 3. Amendments to the text of the proposal shall be inadmissible. However, at the rapporteur's request, the chairman of the committee responsible for legal affairs may submit for the latter's approval, amendments relating to technical adaptations, provided that those adaptations are necessary in order to ensure that the proposal complies with the codification rules and do not involve any substantive change to the proposal. || 4. If the committee responsible for legal affairs concludes that the proposal does not entail any substantive change, it shall refer it to Parliament for approval. If the committee takes the view that the proposal entails a substantive change to Community legislation, it shall propose that Parliament reject the proposal. In either case, Parliament shall take a decision by means of a single vote, without amendments or debate. |Amendment 2Rule 80a (new)| Rule 80a Recasting 1. When a Commission proposal recasting Community legislation is submitted to Parliament, that proposal shall be referred to the committee responsible for legal affairs and to the committee responsible for the subject matter. 2. The committee responsible for legal affairs shall examine the proposal in accordance with the arrangements agreed at interinstitutional level [4] with a view to checking that it entails no substantive changes other than those identified as such in the proposal. For the purpose of that examination, amendments to the text of the proposal shall be inadmissible. However, the second subparagraph of Rule 80(3) shall apply as regards the provisions which remain unchanged in the recasting proposal. 3. If the committee responsible for legal affairs considers that the proposal does not entail any substantive changes other than those identified as such in the proposal, it shall inform the committee responsible. In such a case, over and above the conditions laid down in Rules 150 and 151, amendments shall be admissible within the committee responsible only if they concern those parts of the proposal which contain changes. However, amendments to the parts which have remained unchanged may be admitted by way of exception and on a case-by-case basis by the chairman of the above committee if he considers that this is necessary for pressing reasons relating to the internal logic of the text or because the amendments are inextricably linked to other admissible amendments. Such reasons must be stated in a written justification to the amendments. 4. If the committee responsible for legal affairs considers that the proposal entails substantive changes other than those which have been identified as such in the proposal, it shall propose that Parliament reject the proposal and it shall inform the committee responsible that it has done so. In such a case the President shall request the Commission to withdraw the proposal. If the Commission does so, the President shall hold the procedure to be superfluous and shall inform the Council accordingly. If the Commission does not withdraw its proposal, Parliament shall refer the matter back to the committee responsible for the subject matter, which shall consider it in accordance with the normal procedure. |[1] OJ C 297 7.12.2006, p. 136.[2] OJ C 297 7.12.2006, p. 140.[3] Interinstitutional Agreement of 20 December 1994, Accelerated working method for official codification of legislative texts, point 4, OJ C 102, 4.4.1996, p. 2.[4] Interinstitutional Agreement of 28 November 2001 on a more structured use of the recasting technique for legal acts, point 9, OJ C 77, 28.3.2002, p. 1.--------------------------------------------------

   (2016/C 045/18)

      The European Parliament,

               —

               having regard to the request of 9 July 2012 from the Vienna Public Prosecutor’s Office for waiver of the immunity of Ewald Stadler in connection with an investigation procedure, as announced in the plenary sitting of 10 September 2012,

               —

               having heard Ewald Stadler on 20 February 2013 in accordance with Rule 7(3) of its Rules of Procedure,

               —

               having regard to Article 9 of Protocol No 7 on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Union, and to Article 6(2) of the Act of 20 September 1976 concerning the election of the members of the European Parliament by direct universal suffrage,

               —

               having regard to Article 57 of the Austrian Bundesverfassungsgesetz (Federal Constitutional Law),

               —

               having regard to the judgments of 12 May 1964, 10 July 1986, 15 and 21 October 2008, 19 March 2010 and 6 September 2011 of the Court of Justice of the European Union (1),

               —

               having regard to Rules 6(2) and 7 of its Rules of Procedure,

               —

               having regard to the report of the Committee on Legal Affairs (A7-0120/2013),

               A.

               whereas the Vienna Public Prosecutor’s Office has requested the waiver of the immunity of Ewald Stadler, Member of the European Parliament, in order to enable the Austrian authorities to conduct the necessary investigations and to take legal action against Ewald Stadler;

               B.

               whereas the waiver of Ewald Stadler’s immunity concerns alleged offences of attempted aggravated coercion under Sections 15, 105(1) and 106(1)(1) of the Austrian Criminal Code, and the offence of perjury under Section 288(1) of the Criminal Code;

               C.

               whereas under Article 9 of the Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Union, Members of the European Parliament enjoy in the territory of their own state the immunities accorded to members of their parliament;

               D.

               whereas, under Article 57(2) of the Austrian Federal Constitutional Law, members of the National Council (Nationalrat) may only be arrested on the grounds of a criminal offence with the consent of the National Council — except where they are caught in the act of committing a crime — and whereas searches of the houses of members of the National Council likewise require the consent of the National Council; whereas, further to Article 57(3) of the Austrian Federal Constitutional Law, no official action on account of a punishable offence may be taken against members of the National Council without the National Council’s consent unless that offence is manifestly not connected with the political activity of the member in question and whereas, under that provision, the authority concerned must seek a decision from the National Council as to whether such a connection exists, where this is so requested by the member in question or one third of the members of the appropriate standing committee;

               E.

               whereas Ewald Stadler’s immunity must be waived if the investigations against him are to proceed;

               F.

               whereas Ewald Stadler has been a Member of the European Parliament since 7 December 2011;

               G.

               whereas the Vienna Public Prosecutor’s Office has been carrying out investigations against Ewald Stadler since March 2010;

               H.

               whereas Article 9 of the Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Union and Article 57 of the Austrian Bundesverfassungsgesetz (Federal Constitutional Law) do not preclude the waiver of Ewald Stadler’s immunity;

               I.

               whereas it is therefore advisable that parliamentary immunity be waived in the case in question;

               1.

               Decides to waive the immunity of Ewald Stadler;

               2.

               Instructs its President to forward this decision and the report of its competent committee immediately to the appropriate authorities of the Austrian Republic and to Ewald Stadler.

         RESOLUTION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
   with comments forming an integral part of the decision on the discharge for the implementation of the budget of the European Aviation Safety Agency for the financial year 2004
   THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT,

               —

               having regard to the final annual accounts of the European Aviation Safety Agency for the financial year 2004 (1),

               —

               having regard to the Court of Auditors' report on the annual accounts of the European Aviation Safety Agency for the financial year 2004, together with the Agency's replies (2),

               —

               having regard to the Council's recommendation of 14 March 2006 (5972/2006 — C6-0093/2006),

               —

               having regard to the EC Treaty, and in particular Article 276 thereof,

               —

               having regard to Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (3), and in particular Article 185 thereof,

               —

               having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 July 2002 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Aviation Safety Agency (4), and in particular Article 49 thereof,

               —

               having regard to Commission Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2343/2002 of 19 November 2002 on the framework Financial Regulation for the bodies referred to in Article 185 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (5), and in particular Article 94 thereof,

               —

               having regard to Rule 71 of and Annex V to its Rules of Procedure,

               —

               having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgetary Control and the opinion of the Committee on Transport and Tourism (A6-0104/2006),

               A.

               whereas the Court of Auditors stated that it had obtained reasonable assurance that the annual accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2004 were reliable and that the underlying transactions, taken as a whole, were legal and regular,

               B.

               whereas the Court of Auditors states that it has obtained reasonable assurance from all the agencies, excepting the express reservations in respect of the 2004 financial year concerning the European Agency for Reconstruction, the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training, the European Training Foundation, the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia and the European Food Safety Authority,

               1.

               Recalls that, under Article 185 of the Financial Regulation, Parliament shall give discharge for the implementation of the budgets of the bodies set up by the Communities and having legal personality which actually receive grants charged to the budget; points out, however, that not all of these bodies are fully, or even partially, funded via grants charged to the budget; emphasises that the discharge decision therefore covers both the budget and the non-budget funding of these bodies; considers it unacceptable that some of the bodies set up by the Union are accountable for the expenditure of income received from sources other than the budget whilst others, which do not receive a subsidy from the budget, are not; affirms the principle that all Community agencies, whether or not they are subsidised, are subject to discharge by Parliament, even when another discharge authority intervenes in accordance with their basic texts; takes the view that there is a need to review all texts that go against this principle;

               2.

               Finds table 1 of the Court of Auditors' report, introduced for the first time during the 2003 discharge exercise, which summarises the Agency's powers and responsibilities, governance, resources, activities and services provided, of great value; notes that the information contained in table 1 is supplied by the Agency; asks the Court of Auditors to verify the contents of table 1;

               3.

               Insists that as well as spending money properly, agencies should also strive to spend money as efficiently and effectively as possible; invites the Court of Auditors to consider the possibility of extending its specific annual reports on the agencies to include an examination of performance and achievement of objectives; in this context and in line with its resolutions on the 2003 discharge, insists that the following aspects be taken into account: that duplication of work among the agencies must be avoided as much as possible and that measures designed to improve transparency and communication with the public must be clarified, along with Community affirmative action measures at all levels of recruitment, training and the assignment of responsibilities;

               4.

               Notes that Community agencies do not always have a good image or good press and that many of them do not deserve such a negative image; points out that EU citizens should be made aware of this, with appropriate means being used to explain as often as is necessary the raisons d'être and achievements of the agencies; calls on the Commission to act accordingly, using whatever means it considers necessary;

               5.

               Notes that the enlargement of the European Union in 2004 has affected the structures and operating arrangements of the Community agencies in many ways, and that several of the agencies draw attention to these effects in their activity reports, focusing in particular on the increase in the number of administrators; calls on the Commission to assess the real or supposed problems encountered and to recommend the regulatory changes required;

               6.

               Notes that the Commission has made a commitment to harmonising the way in which activity reports concerning its directorates-general are presented; calls for a similar approach to be taken in respect of the activity reports of the Communities' agencies, which differ significantly in terms of content; calls on the Commission to point out to the Communities' agencies the information and activity indicators that they must provide;

               7.

               Welcomes the fact that the Court of Auditors found the Agency's accounts for 2004 to be reliable and the underlying transactions, taken as a whole, to be legal and regular;

               8.

               Notes the Court of Auditors' remark that the Agency's initial budget and its amending budgets as published in the Official Journal do not give a breakdown of appropriations in term of articles and items as required by Article 22 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2343/2002; reminds the Agency of the principle of specification and urges it to respect this principle in order to allow the clear and transparent implementation of the budgets set by the budget authority;

               9.

               Notes that the Agency did not record the loss on the 2003 budget as an amending budget in 2004 in accordance with the rules; expects the Agency, in future, to include negative balances at year end in amending budgets the following financial year;

               10.

               Is concerned by the anomalies noted by the Court of Auditors in budgetary management, including a lack of any indication in the amending budgets about transfers carried out or about the reasons for these transfers and a failure to inform the Management Board about transfers and payment of advances outside the budget; welcomes the steps taken by the Agency to improve budgetary management;

               11.

               Notes that in 2004 the Agency had not yet adopted the implementing rules for its financial regulation and had not carried out any risk analysis or prepared any internal control standards; welcomes the Agency's adoption in June 2005 of the implementing rules for its financial regulation and the recruitment of a risk manager/internal auditor;

               12.

               Notes that staff selection procedures at the Agency have varied from one round of selections to another and urges the Commission and the Agency to agree on a transparent and coherent recruitment procedure consistent with the Agency's needs in terms of specifically qualified personnel;

               13.

               Is pleased to note the Agency's assurance that recruitment procedures will be formalised by the drawing up of manuals of procedure in order to improve the transparency of decisions taken in this regard and to avoid apparently arbitrary variations in staff selection procedures, as stressed by the Court of Auditors;

               14.

               Notes that over 70 % of the Commission's subsidy to the Agency was implemented under titles I and II, which concern personnel and administrative expenses only, and that, in operational expenditure, the Agency spent only about 10 % of the Commission's subsidy; also notes that the increase from 2003 to 2004 in expenditure on personnel and administration was much greater than the increase in operational expenditure;

               15.

               Calls on the Commission to help the agencies follow as closely as possible the work plan agreed for the year ahead, allowing activities to be properly planned and implemented, and particularly to avoid major, last-minute changes to the work load;

               16.

               Asks the Commission to improve synergies between agencies by making cooperation more effective, avoiding duplication of work and addressing shortcomings, in particular as regards common areas such as training, the implementation of Community policies across the board, the use of the latest management systems and solving problems relating to sound management of the budget.
