Question No. 140 Ms. Kirsty Duncan: With respect to development of the oil sands, its impacts on the environment and surrounding communities, and the economic effects of these impacts: (a) what, if any, steps has the government taken to establish air emission limits or air quality standards to achieve the World Health Organization’s Air Quality Guidelines to protect air quality and human health; (b) what, if any, steps has the government’s sector-by-sector approach taken to regulate carbon emissions in the oil sands to ensure the oil sands industry makes appropriate reductions in its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to contribute to Canada’s GHG emission reduction goal of 17% below the 2005 level; (c) what, if any, studies has the governmen ...[+++]t undertaken to examine the effect of the oil sands expansion on (i) GHG emissions, (ii) Canada’s ability to meet its GHG emission reduction goals, (iii) Canada’s contribution to the goal of staying below a 2°C increase in global average surface temperature, relative to the pre-industrial level, as articulated at the G8 meeting in L’Aquila, Italy and at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change negotiations through the Copenhagen Accord in December 2009 and the Cancun Agreements in December 2010, (iv) the full suite of sustainability criteria, including environmental, economic and social sustainability, and (v) what were the results of any studies identified in (c)(i), (c)(ii), (c)(iii), and (c)(iv); (d) what, if any, studies has the government undertaken to examine (i) the scope of oil sands expansion if the oil sands sector is not required to deliver its proportional share of GHG reductions, (ii) the impacts such a decision would have on other sectors’ allowable GHG emissions, (iii) whether other sectors of the Canadian economy would have to do more than their proportional share to reduce emissions, (iv) what were the results of any studies identified in (d)(i), (d)(ii), and (d)(iii); (e) what, if any, studies ...

16. Welcomes the improvements to the draft ACTA text that provide more safeguards for privacy and public health and incorporate some of the protections under the TRIPS Agreement; calls on the Commission to assess whether the safeguard provisions in ACTA are enforceable in the same way as the enforcement provisions; asks the Commission to provide evidence that ACTA will not prevent Member States from introducing legislation that limits remedies for infringements, including the expansion of access to orphaned copyrighted works or the ...[+++]use of flexibilities under the TRIPS Agreement, in order to guarantee a full range of future policy options; asks the Commission to make an assessment of whether ACTA will in fact be a binding agreement and whether its Article 1.2 provides for general flexibility in respect of any element that might contradict ACTA in national law; asks the Commission to present the mechanisms which provide the flexibility enabling parties to adopt legitimate exceptions to the obligations laid down in the agreement that are consistent with the objectives and principles of the TRIPS agreement and the 2001 Doha Declaration on TRIPS and public health;

4. Notes with satisfaction that life expectancy in the EU is higher than ever; believes, however, that the growing number of older people in our societies has challenging implications for the funding of pensions which must be dealt with in a spirit of social cohesion, as insisted upon in the Commission Recommendation; is convinced that reaching full employment as well as reaping some benefits from productivity gains could contribute considerably to keeping collective pension schemes running while acknowledging that increased life expectancy opens up new individual options regarding the length ...[+++] of working life and the transition to full retirement;

These usually involve the abolition of price support or a reduction to world market levels; income compensation (partial or full through direct payments; abolition of quotas and other supply management measures; direct income support payments and payments for environmental services on a national basis, with or without Community co-financing. This option certainly has the advantage that it would lead to a considerable simplification and would reduce agricultural expenditure substantially once compensation payments were phased out. Although such a radical reform may be ap ...[+++]pealing from an economist's point of view, it would imply a number of social and environmental risks which, at least in some regions, could lead to quite negative effects. In addition, at least in the first five to ten years, before compensatory payments are phased out to a large extent, it would imply huge sums of additional public expenditure. Reducing for example milk and sugar prices to bring them close to world market levels would imply drastic price cuts and necessitate some 10000 to 15000 mio ECU for direct payments if full compensation were to be achieved. If direct payments were to be made directly from Member State budgets, the question of economic and social cohesion would arise, and transfer payments between Member States would become necessary to bridge the gap between the richer and the poorer countries and to get the system work. 2.3. Developing the 1992 approach Towards higher competitiveness If the agricultural and agro-food sectors of the Community are to participate fully in the expected favourable world market developments and the expansion of world trade, improved competitiveness will remain a key challenge for the future. Competitiveness has many facets : quality and speciality of the product, value added through processing, services linked to the product, price, etc ...
