While voting for an amendment to delete the reference to a proposed examination of a potential merger between the European Institute for Gender Equality and the Fundamental Rights Agency, I ultimately supported the report as I did not want to impede the 2018 Discharge to EIGE’s finances that are ultimately in excellent order.

. ‒ I voted in favour of this resolution because a common charger for mobile phones will make our lives easier, it will reduce electronic waste and empower customers to make sustainable choices.

Oposición con arreglo al artículo 112 del Reglamento interno: sustancias activas, incluidas la dimoxistrobina y el mancoceb (B9-0230/2019) EN

. – I voted against this objection. The European Commission has not overstepped its mandate in extending the approval licenses of these 10 active substances. Under Article 17 of Regulation 1107/2009, the European Commission is obliged to extend the license of active substances ʻWhere for reasons beyond the control of the applicant it appears that the approval is likely to expire before a decision has been taken on renewal, a decision shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure referred to in Article 79(3), postponing the expiry of the approval period for that applicant for a period sufficient to examine the application.’ The European Ombudsman Decision in case 687/2018/TE found that the Commission is obliged to extend the approval of active substances if it does not complete a reassessment in time, provided the delay was not caused by the manufacturer of the product. Where concerns about chemicals are raised we need a risk management decision in a timely fashion. Furthermore, it is regrettable that the Commission continues to bundle together extension approvals. This practice should change so that we treat each substance individually and extend each license individually.
