2016 Report on Montenegro (A8-0050/2017 - Charles Tannock)

16-03-2017

The affairs of Montenegro can be managed by the Government of Montenegro and the UN. There is no requirement for the EU to be involved in this country. I will not vote to extend the mandate of the EU into competencies which they have no requirement to be involved.

EU-Brazil Agreement: modification of concessions in the schedule of Croatia in the course of its accession (A8-0052/2017 - José Ignacio Salafranca Sánchez-Neyra)

15-03-2017

Conflation of legislation in the EU Parliament seems to be the norm, but on this occasion it goes beyond even EU general practices. The EU—Brazil Agreement can adequately be handled via WTO rules, of which the EU is a signatory, and the modification of concessions in the schedule for Croatia could equally be handled via WTO rules. Surely both these countries deserve to be treated separately.

Launch of automated data exchange with regard to vehicle registration data in Denmark (A8-0051/2017 - Maria Grapini)

15-03-2017

Conflation with the gathering of data relating to Danish vehicle registration and terrorism to be directed toward a central database will do nothing to address terrorism. This enterprise, if it is to be executed at all, could be managed by Interpol. There is no requirement for the EU to be involved or to extend its competency into areas that are best left to national governments.

Written questions

Members can submit a specific number of questions to the President of the European Council, the Council, the Commission and the Vice-President of the Commission/High Representative of the Union, for written answer. Rule 138, Annex III
