19 Justification Maintaining response capacities is a Member State matter and responsibility for it should not be transferred to EU level, as this would constitute a breach of Article 196 TFEU. 234 Lukas Mandl Article 1 paragraph 1 point 14 point b point i Article 21 paragraph 2 point c subparagraph 2 point ii (ii) 75% of the eligible costs in the event of a repair. deleted Or. de Justification Maintaining response capacities is a Member State matter and responsibility for it should not be transferred to EU level, as this would constitute a breach of Article 196 TFEU.

AM\ docx 19/30 PE v01-00

20 Or. de Justification Financial support should be provided for the use of modules by non-state organisations. This should apply only to non-profit organisations, however, in order to rule out commercialisation. 236 Nikos Androulakis, Renata Briano, Nicola Caputo, Giorgos Grammatikakis, Tiemo Wölken, Soledad Cabezón Ruiz Article 1 paragraph 1 point 14 point b point i Article 21 paragraph 2 point c third subparagraph Response capacities benefitting from funding under points (i) and (ii) shall be made available as part of the European Civil Protection Pool for a minimum period of 5 and 10 years respectively, except where their economic lifespan is shorter.

Or. de Justification Given the need for effective longer-term planning, response capacities must be made available for at least five years. Thereafter, a one-year period of notice would offer time to prepare and take alternative measures. 238 Kateřina Konečná Article 1 paragraph 1 point 14 point b point i Article 21 paragraph 2 point c third subparagraph Response capacities benefitting from funding under points (i) and (ii) shall be made available as part of the European Civil Protection Pool for a minimum period of 5 and 10 years respectively, except where their economic lifespan is shorter.

Or. de Justification There is a danger of commercialisation, given the significant scale of the proposed funding for the acquisition and repair of capacities and the provision of services/resources by private firms. It is also not clear what letter (c) would actually cover. 241 Kateřina Konečná Article 1 paragraph 1 point 14 point c Article 21 paragraph 3 subparagraph 1 The financial assistance for the action referred to in point (j) of paragraph 1 shall cover all costs required to ensure the availability and deployability of resceu capacities under the Union Mechanism when deployed in the event of a disaster or imminent disaster within the Union or a Participating State.

26 Justification The amendment proposed by the Commission, under which financial assistance only relates to funds allocated to the European Civil Protection Pool, puts those Member States that do not participate in the European Civil Protection Pool, but are part of the Civil Protection Mechanism as a whole, at a disadvantage. There is no need for this restriction to the first category alone, as all Member States should be involved. 246 Lukas Mandl Article 1 paragraph 1 point 15 point b Article 23 paragraph 2 a (new) Justification (2a) As regards Member State capacities that are not pre-committed to the European Civil Protection Pool, the amount of Union financial support for transport resources shall not exceed 55% of the total eligible costs. Transport funding for capacities outside the pool must also be taken into account, since otherwise Member States which cannot commit capacities to the European Civil Protection Pool will be placed at a disadvantage.

27 Justification civil protection Pool, the amount of Union financial support for transport resources shall not exceed 55% of the total eligible cost. The co-financing for transport cost of un-registered capacities in the pool is a key element of assistance of the Union civil protection assistance to be preserved. In this way it would be possible to ensure the flexibility of the Mechanism to support and facilitate assistance between States in emergency situations, in particular when a State requests resources not registered in the civil protection pool and not identifiable in advance. 248 Ivica Tolić Article 1 paragraph 1 point 15 point b Article 23 paragraph 3 3.

29 Justification The amendment proposed by the Commission, under which financial assistance only relates to funds allocated to the European Civil Protection Pool, puts those Member States that do not participate in the European Civil Protection Pool, but are part of the Civil Protection Mechanism as a whole, at a disadvantage.

Synergies and complementarity shall be sought with other instruments of the Union such as those supporting cohesion, rural development, research, health, as well as migration and security policies.

In the case of a response to humanitarian crises in third countries the Commission shall ensure the complementarity and coherence of actions financed under this Decision and actions financed under Regulation (EC) No 1257/96. The final say in the use of national experts must remain with the Member State concerned, however.
