Az EU jövőbeni irányának meghatározása nem lehet két-három tagállam privilégiuma, a 2004-ben csatlakozott országokat nem lehet kihagyni ebből – jelentette ki csütörtökön Pozsonyban brüsszeli tudósítók előtt Robert Fico. Az EU soros elnökségét július elsején Hollandiától átvevő Szlovákia miniszterelnöke szerint a szeptemberihez hasonló kihelyezett EU-csúcsok akár általános jelenséggé is válhatnak a jövőben.

The final results of the 2013 census of Bosnia, published on Thursday, reveal the changed demographic picture of the country - but Bosnian Serb officials continued to dispute them.

On 30 June 2016 the Permanent Representatives Committee approved, on behalf of the Council, an agreement with the European Parliament concerning goods that can be used for capital punishment, torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. 

The agreement will enable regulation 1236/2005 to be amended in the light of developments since it entered into force in 2006. It provides for amendments to the rules on export controls, new controls on brokering services and technical assistance, and a ban on advertising of certain goods. The aim is to prevent EU exports from contributing to human rights violations in third countries.

The new regulation amending regulation 1236/2005  is due to be approved by the Parliament in September, and will then be submitted to the Council for adoption. Political agreement with the Parliament was reached on 24 May 2016.

A ban on torture and ill-treatment is enshrined in United Nations conventions on human rights. At EU level, the Charter of Fundamental Rights prohibits capital punishment and provides that "no one shall be subjected to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment". The EU also promotes respect for fundamental rights around the world. 

Two categories of goods 

Regulation 1236/2005 bans the export and import of equipment/goods that can only be used for torture or capital punishment. Such goods are listed in annex II to the regulation. 

The regulation requires specific licences for exports of equipment/goods that could have such uses but which also have legitimate applications. Such goods are subject to a case-by-case assessment and are listed in annexes III and IIIA to the regulation. 

In December 2011, the regulation was amended to control the export of drugs that could be used in executions by lethal injection. 

Amendments 

The new regulation imposes a ban on the brokering of equipment that is subject to a ban and listed in annex II, so as to cover transfers of goods that are not located in the EU. It additionally bans the provision of brokering services by any broker who is aware that goods listed in annex III or IIIA may be used for torture or capital punishment. 

The draft also bans the supply of technical assistance (concerning goods listed in annex III or IIIA) by anyone who is aware that the equipment in question may be used for torture or capital punishment. 

It furthermore provides for an urgency procedure in case rapid amendment of the regulation's annexes is necessary when new goods enter the market. 

Agreement with the EP 

Under the agreement with the European Parliament, the agreed text: 

• introduces a prior authorisation regime for brokering services and technical assistance for annex III and IIIA goods, in place of the prohibition proposed by the Commission;
• prohibits the transit of goods listed in annex II and, if the transporter knows that the goods will be used for torture or capital punishment, for annex III and IIIA goods;
• prohibits the advertising and promotion at exhibitions and trade fairs of goods listed in annex II;
• establishes a coordination group, which will serve as a platform for member state experts and the Commission to exchange information on administrative practices. The group will also discuss questions of interpretation, developments and implementation of the regulation.
