Amendment 24 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Welcomes the creation, in 2020, of the Single Market Enforcement Task Force (SMET), which is made up of relevant national authorities and the Commission; calls for a constant cooperation of the Task Force with the existing SOLVIT system; welcomes the current effort to identify how SMET can help deal with cases involving the misapplication of EU law that SOLVIT has not been able to address; welcomes the ongoing reporting on structural SOLVIT cases that could become SMET projects; calls on the Commission, as the support of the existing SOLVIT system is limited, especially in cross-border cases in which public authorities breach the rights of citizens and businesses, to assess the possibilities of injunctions that would give legal clarity within three months at Union level, for example at the European Court of Justice, to ensure the correct transposition, application and implementation of EU law in all Member States;
Amendment 35 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Considers that, in order to reduce the problems related to gold-plating, Parliament, the Council and the Commission should focus on adopting harmonizing regulations instead of directives and should also focus on adopting EU legislation drafted using the principles of legal clarity, transparency and legal certainty, with a view to being easily transposable and having a specific European added value; regrets that, all too often, EU law-making resorts to ambiguous compromises between the three institutions and loses sight of the ultimate end users (citizens, Member States or businesses); stresses that Union law needs to clearly establish the rights and obligations of its addressees, particularly the EU institutions and the Member States; regrets that, all too often, EU law-making is influenced by and dependent on the consultancy industry, which makes society in general more reliant on consultants instead of focussing on common sense and having leniency for mistakes in some cases;
