Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2.

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 26 c (new)
Paragraph 26 c (new)
26 c. In the European Union, the permanent disadvantages of remoteness and insularity are already recognized. The are additional costs arising from the distance from continental markets that burdens imported products, as well as the export of regional products. There are structural and permanent costs of this distance. Thus, it is necessary to mobilize will and means of action so that new support is recognized for the outermost regions as one of European Union priority in the context of cohesion policies. In addition to the current EU programs to deal with remoteness and insularity, on top of the current "POSEI" programmes, the creation of a specific POSEI-Transport program is justified, as additional support to compensate the disadvantages and losses accumulated by the costs of passenger and freight transport.

Amendment 49 #
2024/0017(COD)
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8
Recital 8
(8) A significant majority of Member States, but not all, have a legislative instrument in place that provides for a mechanism to screen FDIs. In many Member States, national laws also extend to screening intra-Union investments. Among the Member States, there are substantial differences as to the scope, thresholds and criteria used to assess whether an investment is likely to negatively affect security or public order. There are also differences in the screening processes. In certain Member States, the investment can be implemented before having received clearance with respect to the impact on security and public order. However, others require that the investment is only finalised after authorisation under the screening mechanism. Such divergences create a problem for the smooth functioning of the internal market. For example, they create an uneven playing field and increase compliance costs for investors seeking to notify transactions in more than one Member State. This Regulation helps in reducing divergences on key elements of the mechanisms implemented at national level. This is crucial to ensure predictability for investors on the applicable national regimes and their characteristics, thereby reducing the associated compliance costs. This is all the more relevant considering the level of integration of internal market, which may result in a single transaction impacting multiple Member States across the Union. It is for example possible that a transaction aimed to the acquisition of a target company in one Member State also affects security and public order in another Member State, due to the supply chain structure or other economic elements connecting the target with other companies based in a different Member States. In order to address these internal market problems and ensure greater consistency and predictability, it is appropriate that the criteria and elements to be used for the assessment of foreign investments are established through Union action, in cooperation with the relevant stakeholders, particularly national and European trade unions.

Recital 20
Recital 20
(20) To ensure that foreign investments likely to negatively affect security or public order in the Union are adequately identified, Member States should screen foreign investments where the Union target is part of or participates in a project or programme of Union interest or where the Union target’s economic activity relates to a technology, asset, facility, equipment, network, system or service of particular importance for the security or public order interests of the Union. Screening should also take into account the impact of the foreign investments on safeguarding the public interest in the production of goods and provision of essential services, socio- economic stability, employment, and working conditions. In addition to these criteria, screening mechanisms may apply to other sectors, Union targets or economic activities that the relevant Member State considers critical for its security or public order, public order, safeguarding the public interest in the production of goods and provision of essential services, public control of its strategic sectors or socio-economic stability.

(24) Furthermore, to allow the protection of security or public order where the likely effect emanates from a foreign investment into a Union target that provides for the development, maintenance or acquisition of infrastructure, technologies or inputs, which are critical for the Union as a whole, the Commission should be allowmay be requested to issue an opinion. This would give the Commission a tool to protect projects and programmes which serve the Union as a whole and represent an important contribution to the Union’s based on criteria of protection of security or public order. A Commission opinion identifying the likely impact on projects or programmes of Union interest on the grounds of security or public order should be notified to all Member States.

The Member State should coord, safeguarding of public inate with the Commission and the Member States concerned if necessary and provide them with written feedback on the decision taken and how the comments and the opinion have been given utmost considerationrest in the production of goods or provision of essential services of one or more Member States.

Recital 32
(32) Member States or the Commission, as appropriate, might consider relevant information received from economic operators, civil society organisations, social partners (such as trade unions) about a foreign investment likely to negatively affect security or public order. If a foreign investment in a Member State could have negative social consequences or an impact on employment and working conditions in another Member State or in a sector under pressure, the trade unions of the countries in question and European trade unions should be consulted.

Recital 34
Recital 34
(34) To ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of the cooperation mechanism, it is necessary to align deadlines and procedures when several foreign investments linked to the same broader transaction are screened in several Member States. In such multi-country transactions, the applicant should file the different requests for authorisation in the Member States concerned simultaneously. In addition, those Member States should notify the requests simultaneously to the cooperation mechanism. To ensure an efficient handling of these multi-country transactions, the Member States concerned should coordinate and agree on whether the foreign investments are notifiable and when they should be notified. Furthermore, the Member States concerned should also coordinate on the final decision. If the Member States concerned intend to authorise the foreign investment with conditions, they should ensure that these conditions are compatible with one another and address cross-border risks adequately. Before prohibiting a foreign investment, the Member States concerned should consider whether a conditional authorisation with coordinated measures and their coordinated enforcement is not sufficient to address the likely effect on security or public order. The Commission should be able tomay participate in such coordination.

Recital 35
Recital 35
(35) To ensure a consistent approach to the screening of investments across the Union, it is essential that the standards and criteria used to assess likely risks to security and public order are those set at Union level in this Regulation. Those should includehe screening to be carried out by the Member States should take into account criteria such as: the impact on the security, integrity and functioning of critical infrastructure,; the availability of critical technologies (including key enabling technologies) and the continued supply of critical inputs for security or public order, the disruption, failure, loss or destruction of which would have a significant impact on security and public order in one or more Member States or on the Union as a whole; the social impact with regard to labour market disruption, job losses or deterioration of working conditions in the Member States concerned or another Member State as a result of the foreign investment; the environmental risks in the Member States concerned or in another Member State due to the foreign investment; the safeguarding of the public interest in the production of goods and provision of essential services, the public interest in the production of commodities and the provision of essential services, public control in strategically important sectors, such as energy, telecommunications, banking or insurance, and in essential public services, such as health, education or social security systems; consumer protection. In that regard, Member States and the Commission should also take into account the context and circumstances of the foreign investment. This should include, in particular, whether an investor is controlled directly or indirectly, for example through significant funding, by the government of a third country or is involved in pursuing policy objectives of third countries to facilitate their military capabilities. In this context, if applicable, Member States and the Commission should also consider why the foreign investor, its beneficial owner or any of its subsidiaries or a person acting on behalf or at the direction of such a foreign investor is subject to any type of Union restrictive measures pursuant to Article 215 TFEU.

(36) Where the Member State where the foreign investment is planned or completed considers that a foreign investment is likely to negatively affect security or public order in the Union, it is appropriate to require, it is possible for that Member State to take appropriate measures to mitigate the risks, where such measures are available, and it considers them adequate, taking into utmost consideration the comments issued by other Member States and the opinion issued by the Commission, if applicable, as well as relevant stakeholders, such as national and European trade unions. Foreign investments should be prohibited only on an exceptional basis, and where mitigating measures or measures available under Union or national law other than the screening mechanism are not sufficient to mitigate the effect on security or public order.

(49) In order to take into account developments relating to projects or programmes of Union interest and to adapt the list of technologies, assets, facilities, equipment, networks, systems, services and economic activities of particular importance for the security or public order interests of the Union, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the Commission in respect of amendments to the Annexes to this Regulation. The list of projects and programmes of Union interest set out in Annex I should cover projects or programmes covered by EU law which provide for the development, maintenance or acquisition of critical infrastructure, critical technologies or critical inputs which are essential for security or public order. The list of technologies, assets, facilities, equipment, networks, systems, services and economic activities of particular importance for the security or public order interests of the Union set out in Annex II should include areas where a foreign investment may affect security or public order in more than one Member State or in the Union as a whole through an Union target, which does not participate in or receive funds from a project or programme of Union interest. It is of particular importance that the Commission carries out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level and with trade unions, and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making16. In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council receive all documents at the same time as Member States’ experts, and their experts systematically have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts. _________________ 16 OJ L 123, 12.5.2016, p. 1.
