"Mr President, many of the proposed amendments relate to basic issues in the common position. Amendments 13 and 14 concern the implementing rules that will need to be approved under the comitology procedure. These amendments avoid complicated procedures for approving rules and safeguard their uniform application in all the Member States. The Commission is therefore in a position to accept the amendments in question in full.
Amendments 18 to 22 relate to public access to data and reflect the initial intention of the Commission's proposal. These amendments are acceptable in full, with the exception of Amendment 21, which is acceptable in principle. The intention of Amendment 21 is to replace the initial provision, on the basis of which free public access to information is safeguarded, and this is a position that the Commission can support. Nonetheless, there are – as I said earlier – certain categories of data which it is financially difficult for information providers to provide free of charge. Consequently, the final wording of this specific paragraph must cover these specific cases.
Amendments 23 to 27 relate to exchanges of information between public authorities and are acceptable in full, with the exception of Amendment 24, which is acceptable in part. The first part of Amendment 24 is indeed of decisive importance, because is ensures that charges and licences will be made and issued by public information providers in keeping with the general obligation to exchange information. The second part of Amendment 24 concerns the amount of the charges made, which does not necessarily apply in all cases.
Many of the other amendments restore the intentions of the initial proposal as regards less important issues or are amendments relating, for example, to the organisation of the coordinating structures in the Member States. All these are acceptable to the Commission in full or in principle or in part, with the exception of Amendment 15, which relates to the participation of the interested parties in preparatory discussions for the adoption of implementing rules. Amendment 15 is unacceptable, because it deletes a useful clarification contained in the Council text.
I shall subsequently forward a full list of the Commission's positions on Parliament's amendmentsand I would like once again to thank the rapporteur on the excellent work she has done."@en1
