In order to ensure compliance with the data protection provisions under European law to the benefit of EU citizens, uniform legislation, transposition at national level and enforcement are vital. Because of the heavy concentration of IT businesses in the Republic of Ireland, the local data protection supervisory authority plays a key role here.
It is regrettable when criticisms are raised in relation to the procedures followed by this very authority. The Commission has received a large number of complaints in this regard under the single file number CHAP How have these complaints been followed up and dealt with in the Commission? Does the Commission take the view that the aforementioned data protection provisions are transposed to the same extent in the various Member States? What are the consequences of the proposed data protection package for the work and budget of the data protection authorities?
They are currently under examination.
The information available to the Commission shows that the DPC has carried out two audits assessing the compliance of FB with the applicable data protection rules. In the second audit report, the DPC concludes that FB has implemented the recommendations addressed to it in the first report. The Commission will take into account all the available information for its analysis. The consistency mechanism proposed in Art. The transformation of the financial crisis into a social and humanitarian crisis has been accompanied by the emergence and sharp increase in poverty, extreme poverty and even serious material shortages.
Does it have statistics on food insecurity in the Member States for the general population and for children? Are there any additional funds available from the European Structural Funds that could be used by Member States to supplement existing funds, with a view to significantly limiting food insecurity? It provided figures relating to children poverty, including food deprivation.
This module will be repeated in In addition, the identification of the most deprived persons is left to the Member States as they are the best placed to assess the actual needs. In order to assess the Fund's effectiveness annual implementation reports and a system of common indicators are put in place. Community funds are a useful tool for boosting national economies and strengthening social cohesion in the Member States, implementing essential development projects and addressing regional imbalances.
Has it been made aware of the aforementioned study? Does it have information on funds from the European Structural Funds which are still pending for the Member States? Does it intend to implement specific initiatives in order to a accelerate the absorption of EU funds and b enhance their effective use by the Member States? What are the most common reasons for the low absorption of Community funds by Member States? The Commission is aware of the study by the Bruegel Institute and shares many of its observations. However, it must be noted that the poorest regions benefit in general from the highest level of EU support on a per capita basis.
In addition, there is no direct link between the level of prosperity and the capacity to absorb EU funding.
Navigation
At this stage of the cohesion policy period i. A number of measures have been launched to facilitate the absorption of EU funding. In some Member States, a re-programming of funds has taken place to enable them to inject EU funding into sectors where a rapid absorption of investments in key growth and jobs supporting areas can take place. In other countries, the rate of co-financing is being adjusted to accelerate uptake. The main reasons for low absorption are a lack of administrative capacity to manage EU funds, problems in converting EU legislation into national legislation and the lack of sufficiently mature projects to be submitted for EU co-financing.
Is the Commission aware of the drastic nature of some government restrictions on welfare systems across the EU? The Commission addresses housing problems linked to poverty and social exclusion and monitors the implementation of relevant actions in response to country-specific challenges within its social inclusion strategy embedded in the Europe strategy. The recently adopted Social Investment Package also contains policy guidance for Member States to better ensure the access to housing for homeless and at-risk-of-homeless people.
The Package provides a comprehensive guidance on how best to target social investment and mobilise EU funds to this end. These include a CSR on welfare reform, poverty and childcare. Enhancing marine and maritime cooperation between the countries around the Mediterranean plays a part in the development of a sustainable Mediterranean blue economy. Could the Commission give details of the stages in which this network will be set up and propose a provisional timetable? How will this network be funded and how will the participating maritime training institutes be selected?
Will this network be truly Euro-Mediterranean and will it be branded as an EU project for the Mediterranean? What issues will the network deal with as a priority? Will motorways of the sea be one such issue? The success of such a network relies on a bottom-up engagement process, whereby one or more training institutes in the region takes the lead in setting it up. The Commission will provide a platform for networking and exchanges across training institutes and academies through a future Virtual Knowledge Centre for the Mediterranean. No dedicated funding for the network has been earmarked as such.
The network shall be of an inclusive and open nature and led by the interested training institutes themselves. Interested stakeholders are encouraged to evaluate possible funding opportunities under the future European Territorial Cooperation programmes or Cross-border Cooperation programmes for Any future branding of the project cannot be prejudged at this stage. Possible priorities that the network could deal with include exchanges of best practice on training in blue growth areas and mobility across maritime-related sectors.
Many thousands have already fled. Nevertheless, while Christians, along with their churches, have been attacked in the past, the abduction of such senior churchmen sets a new and highly alarming precedent. The fear now must be that the Christian communities will be directly targeted by fundamentalist militants. The abduction also illuminates the problem of kidnapping in Syria, which according to the BBC is rapidly becoming a major element in this conflict, and provoking further fear amongst an already beleaguered Syrian population.
EU humanitarian support has not targeted any particular community and is destined to all Syrians in need as well as their host communities in neighbouring countries. Whilst work continues to establish reliable estimates of recoverable reserves, debate continues into the environmental and safety implications of the practice of fracking. What work has the Commission carried out to help identify and manage the risks of fracking in relation to:. As part of an information gathering process, the Commission launched several studies to assess risks and opportunities of shale gas development in Europe.
Human rights abuses continue to be highlighted in Burma despite recent progress, and despite the introduction of reforms designed to improve democracy in the country. According to widespread reports, the use of child soldiers and sex slaves by the Burmese army ranks high on the list of violations that, allegedly, are still being carried out in the name of the Burmese Government. What action has the Commission taken to provide, and ensure the safe passage of, emergency aid to the people of Kachin State?
What investigations has the Commission made into the sale of the Swedish anti-tank missiles now being used by the Burmese Army in the conflict in Kachin State, the export of which appears to have contravened the ongoing embargo?
This is hence official policy that has to be implemented by the Government and any breaches would need to be addressed. Most recently, the UN commended Myanmar's progress in reducing the recruitment of children into the armed forces, while pointing out it still needs to stamp out the practice.
At the same time, we are fully aware that child soldiers are also used by some ethnic armed groups. The EU is in close contact with authorities and continues to raise human rights issues at every opportunity. The EU has repeatedly urged the Government to ensure full and unhindered humanitarian access to all communities affected by conflict including Kachin State. EU humanitarian assistance focuses particularly on areas occupied by ethnic minorities such as Rakhine State, the eastern border area with Thailand and Kachin State.
Primary responsibility for the enforcement of sanctions rests with EU Member States. In the case of an arms embargo, which does not involve community competence, the role of the High Representative and the Commission in this regard is limited to overseeing such enforcement. In this case, the Swedish authorities have made it clear they are aware of the issue and that they are conducting an investigation into the matter. L'UE vigili sulla corruzione in Croazia. Vi sono infatti situazioni di corruzione che coinvolgono politici, imprenditori, istituti bancari. Si continuano a registrare risultati in termini di attuazione.
Gli organi di contrasto rimangono proattivi, anche nei casi di corruzione ad alto livello ad esempio, ex sindaci, ex viceministri e nelle istituzioni di contrasto diversi agenti di polizia. Alla luce delle dichiarazioni rilasciate durante l'audizione e a quanto scritto nella sua comunicazione, la Commissione:.
Ha inoltre sottolineato i recenti sviluppi positivi nel settore della prevenzione della corruzione istituzione della commissione competente in materia di conflitto di interessi, adozione di una nuova legge sull'accesso all'informazione. La Croazia dispone di un quadro giuridico e istituzionale di lotta alla corruzione adeguato, che ha dimostrato di produrre risultati. At a recent parliamentary hearing with a Croatian investigative journalist, it came to light that the corruption situation in Croatia was far from good.
Corruption was rife and involved politicians, businessmen and banks. Croatia needs to increase its efforts to establish a track record of substantial results in strengthening prevention measures. A track record of implementation continues to be developed. Law enforcement bodies remain proactive, including in higher-level corruption cases e. In view of the statements made during the hearing and the content of the communication:. How can the Commission say, on the one hand, that the fight against corruption needs to be stepped up and effectively implemented and, on the other, that the legal framework for the suppression of corruption is adequate?
What action will it take to ensure that future EU funds earmarked for Croatia are properly monitored? The Commission also pointed out the recent positive developments in the area of prevention of corruption establishment of Conflict of Interest Commission, adoption of new law on access to information. Croatia has an adequate legal and institutional framework in place to fight corruption, which has shown to deliver results. At the same time, the report stresses the need for Croatia to continue building its track record in this area.
Following accession, the situation concerning the fight against corruption in Croatia will be monitored in the same way as in the other EU Member States. This includes substantial provisions on obligations to monitor the use of EU funds. Furthermore, after accession, Croatia will need to receive a positive compliance assessment of its system by the Commission, before it would be able to access any of its EU Structual or Cohesion Funds.
Quali iniziative intende essa eventualmente assumere al fine di velocizzare la procedura di accesso alle certificazioni IGP e DOCG e incrementare la portata effettiva della protezione per produttori e consumatori garantita da tali certificazioni? La Commissione ha adottato alcune misure al fine di accelerare le procedure di registrazione. Da quando il regolamento UE n. It should, however, be pointed out that the procedure for recognising these designations is rather long and while it is going on, which takes many months and sometimes years, the consumer is at high risk of buying products with a trade name that is reminiscent of a typical product whose DOCG or PGI status is pending, and which, in any case, has been produced according to methods and in conditions that have nothing to do with the typical product to which the name refers.
Transitional protection, which applies only nationally, is a vital but inadequate tool in this regard. There are several products on the market that imitate Recco cheese focaccia, appropriating the name, despite the procedure for recognition of the PGI mark being well under way and the transitional protection already being in force, so the consumer may be easily misled and mistake an imitation for the original product. Can the Commission therefore say whether the procedure for granting PGI status to Recco focaccia is adhering to the times laid down and when, at least roughly, it might be completed?
What action will the Commission take to speed up the procedure for obtaining PGI and DOCG status and to broaden the scope of protection for producers and consumers that is guaranteed by such status? Aus diesem Sachverhalt ergeben sich folgende Fragen:. Kann nach wie vor mit einem Verbot der genannten Neonicotinoide noch vor der Sommerpause gerechnet werden?
Wenn ja, wann wird dies voraussichtlich geschehen? At present, however, the absence of a qualified majority in the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health means that a deadlock appears to have been reached. Yet the risk posed by these three pesticides to bee populations has been clearly and unequivocally confirmed by EFSA, and according to the latest information even birds are threatened.
EFSA therefore also believes that the risks posed by these pesticides clearly outweigh their benefits. Is it still to be expected that a ban will be imposed on the abovementioned neonicotinoids before the summer recess? If so, when is this likely to happen? How is the Commission intending to break the stalemate in order to ensure that bee protection is finally accorded priority status? What opportunities does the Commission believe are available to ensure the continuing effectiveness of pest control without having to use these three hazardous pesticides?
The Commission in recent years has taken a number of actions in order to improve the knowledge about the phenomenon of the drastic decline in bee populations, which the scientific community agrees has a multifactorial background and will further continue to support actions in this field. Other insecticides are available and approved at EU level. In addition, two neonicotinoids namely acetamiprid and thiacloprid that present a lower toxicity will remain available on the market for the time being.
The planned storage of passenger name records for the purpose of investigating and combating terrorism will have iniquitous consequences, such as the factually unjustified length of time for which the records will be stored, the sheer quantity of data, the lax access requirements and, last but not least, the fact that respectable citizens will be placed under surveillance and thus subject to extensive but unfounded interference into their private lives. Is the Commission aware that confidential reports by EU legal experts dating back to and containing warnings about PNR, in particular as regards proportionality, are circulating in the media?
Media reports have stated that plans are already in place to introduce PNR on intra-EU flights; is the Commission in favour of these proposals? Under what circumstances is such a procedure permissible? What is being done to guarantee real and full protection, both now and in the future, for the fundamental right of EU citizens to the protection of their personal data?
The proposal was subject to very thorough preparation to ensure that its provisions are compatible with fundamental rights. The proposal provides for effective data protection safeguards and strict limitations to the processing of PNR data that ensure full compliance with the proportionality principle.
The information in the question is not sufficient to be clear as to which reports the Honourable Member refers. The Commission proposal includes a clause providing for an assessment, two years after the transposition of an EU PNR Directive, of the feasibility and necessity of including internal flights in the scope of the directive. Wie wird der Erfolg der Initiative generell bewertet?
Die Kommission teilt die Bedenken der Frau Abgeordneten. Der Kommission sind in diesem Zusammenhang keine Kooperationen zwischen Mitgliedstaaten bekannt. Februar drastisch reduziert. Non-governmental organisations have reported on numerous occasions that cyberbullying is becoming an ever more frequent and widespread phenomenon. The anonymity of the Internet and its users, the impossibility of deleting images and data and the real-time transmission of content mean that the problem is a complex one, and that it is difficult to help victims or to identify and put a stop to ongoing bullying.
Prevention and education are therefore particularly important in this context.
The proportion of young people who have been attacked online is already as high as one fifth, and it is likely that the number of unreported cases is much higher. In general terms, how successful is the initiative believed to be? Is similar cooperation also in place with a view to raising awareness among parents and teachers? The Commission shares the Honourable Member's concern.
Cyber-bullying has become the biggest online risk among young people. Children need to develop the right skills to take part safely in the digital society.
The Commission is not aware of any cooperation between Member States. This means taking difficult decisions about the selection and funding of future digital services infrastructures. Parliament adopted a resolution in which called for a drastic reduction in the amount of still usable food that is thrown away. This very welcome initiative was and is still urgently needed; around 1. Experts believe that an additional problem is posed by requirements relating to the appearance of food, in particular fruit and vegetables, since they result in food being rejected which is usable but which does not comply with the relevant standards in terms of appearance.
What further action is planned by the Commission in connection with the above resolution? Is any cooperation in place with developing countries, which are most affected by these problems? What view should be taken of the problem of food being rejected due to sub-standard appearance in the context of the relevant EU regulations? Issues such as the donation of surplus food to food banks, date labelling, the waste hierarchy, fruit and vegetable wastage, were discussed.
Comment développer la coopération entre l'Algérie et la France du président Macron ?
A public consultation on sustainable food production, including the food waste issue will be launched soon. The Commission finances interventions in developing countries to improve food storage, reduce post-harvest losses, improve market access of agricultural produce, to strengthen capacity at the various stages of the value chain, raise awareness and research into more efficient production methods. Facilitating access for farmers to innovative technology and to modern Information and Communication Technologies ICTs , including mobile banking also helps in making better timed decisions about supplying markets, price movements and transport arrangements.
In addition, Member States may exempt produce from these standards subject to certain conditions, for example by particular labelling provisions or in the case of well-established local consumption. Zentrales Waffenregister und illegale Waffen in privater Hand. Es ist unklar, wie viele Waffen sich in privater Hand befinden. Davon ausgehend, dass der Kommission die oben genannten Daten und Fakten bekannt sind, bitte ich um die Beantwortung folgender Fragen. Wie soll in diesem Kontext mit illegalen Waffen in privater Hand umgegangen werden?
The number of privately owned firearms is unknown, but it is estimated that there are several million illegally in circulation for which no ownership licences are held. In this context, what action should be taken with respect to illegal privately owned firearms?
In this context, are there plans to rely on information from private dealers, or have alternatives already been found? What plans has the Commission made to prevent any possible or potential abuse in this area? Illicit manufacture, transfer and circulation of firearms and their excessive accumulation and dissemination contribute not only to crime and terrorism but also to regional conflicts and to state failure.
An effective response must therefore involve coherent action by all players, making best use of EU tools and covering all dimensions of the issue. The Commission is planning to adopt this year a comprehensive communication on how a more coherent common policy approach can minimise the risk posed by the illegal use of firearms to the EU's internal security. In it will report on the results, and if necessary make appropriate proposals to fill possible gaps in the current legislation. The implementation of the provisions on registration at national level will be part of this evaluation.
Cependant, cette pratique n'a plus cours depuis It would also appear that the rules on the renewal of marketing authorisations MA have not been strictly observed. Does the Commission intend to analyse the dangers of using the pesticides that are currently under scrutiny in France? What preventive measures will it take concerning the seven pesticides that are hazardous to health? It would appear that derogations have been granted to certain Member States for the use of pesticides. Did the Commission establish whether the Member States benefiting from those derogations had drafted food standards and whether risk mitigation measures had been taken to protect human health and the environment?
Does France benefit from any derogations, and if so, since when? The Commission notes the prompt actions taken by the French Ministry of Agriculture and looks forward to the outcomes of the audit on the authorisation system undertaken by the Ministry. It is not up to the Commission to evaluate or authorise plant protection products. The Commission is only responsible for the approval of active substances used in plant protection products. In the past the Commission allowed some Member States to extend the period of withdrawal of certain pesticides for so called.
Poche settimane fa il Bundesrat tedesco ha bocciato la ratifica del fiscal compact. In quale misura e a quale titolo possono essere conferiti alle istituzioni comunitarie poteri di applicazione delle norme contenute nel fiscal compact , la cui natura di semplice accordo internazionale non gli consente di incidere direttamente sui poteri attribuiti dai trattati istitutivi agli organi esecutivi e legislativi europei?
Gli Stati membri devono inoltre conseguire gli obiettivi di bilancio a medio termine. Sia la Commissione che la Corte di giustizia partecipano al funzionamento del patto di bilancio. A few weeks ago, the German Bundesrat refused to ratify the fiscal compact. Member States also need to achieve medium-term budgetary objectives. Checks were carried out on products such as milk, fish and fish products, frozen foods, ready meals, tea, coffee and bread. Problems were identified with The most frequent problem was the lack of mandatory information on the ingredients of processed meat products, eggs, meat, bread and fish.
In connection with the above, would the Commission answer the following questions:. Fraudulent and deceptive labelling practices can be eliminated with appropriate enforcement of Union food law requirements, which lies with the national competent authorities. They must conduct appropriate controls and impose dissuasive and effective sanctions. The forthcoming proposal on official controls will aim at further strengthening the existing system, including the provisions on sanctions.
