Translation of "registre des accords de ppa " (French → English) :

1. The establishment and operation of the register shall not affect or prejudice the objectives of the European Parliament as expressed in its resolution of 8 May 2008 on the development of the framework for the activities of interest representatives (lobbyists) in the European institutions (2) and in its decision of 11 May 2011 on conclusion of an interinstitutional agreement between the European Parliament and the Commission on a common Transparency Register (3).

Points out that effective operation of the new register will be the decisive element with regard to full and satisfactory implementation of the Agreement and, therefore, eagerly awaits its being put into practice; recommends that, after the transitional period, Parliament and the Commission undertake a review of the new register and correct any practical difficulties and faults which may emerge; recommends that Parliament obtain information about the functioning of the register from the parties concerned during the initial period;

Calls for mutual recognition between the Council, the Commission and Parliament of separate registers in the event that a common register is not agreed; suggests that, in the absence of arrangements by the institutions for a common register, their individual web-based registers should include links to the other registers in order to enable comparison of lobbyists' entries; calls on the Secretary General to move Parliament's list of representatives of accredited interest groups to a more easily accessible location on Parliament's website;

Notes the Commission's decision to start with a voluntary register and to evaluate the system after one year, but is concerned that a purely voluntary system will allow less responsible lobbyists to avoid compliance; calls on the three institutions to review the rules governing the activities of lobbyists at the latest three years after a common register is established, in order to determine whether the changed system is achieving the necessary transparency in respect of lobbyists' activities; is aware of the legal basis for a mandatory register provided by the Treaty of Lisbon and expresses its will in the meantime to cooperate with t ...[+++]he institutions by way of an interinstitutional agreement on the basis of the existing registers; considers that mandatory registration should be a requirement for lobbyists who wish to have regular access to the institutions, as is already de facto the case in Parliament;

I would like to respectfully request colleagues and those who are lobbying for the signing of the register to allow Members the leeway and the freedom to sign these resolutions without having to go through 'a wall of fire' to get into the Chamber.

A Euro-Mediterranean Register of Agreements was established and a pilot project on the prevention and management of disasters set up.
