First part	‘whereas the LGBTI+ community in various parts of the Russian Federation faces extensive discrimination, including harassment, torture, imprisonment and killings and whereas the situation is particularly dangerous in Chechnya, which in 2017 started its purge of LGBTI+ people, detaining and torturing dozens and killing at least two, leading to many people seeking safe refuge abroad; whereas existing laws prohibit any public discussion on ‘non-traditional sexual relationships’;’

Recital AM
First part	‘whereas serious gaps in the official response to widespread gender-based violence and domestic violence continue to exist in Russia, including a lack of sufficient protection and means of redress for victims; whereas the draft law on domestic violence, which was proposed in November 2019, fell short of providing a comprehensive definition of domestic violence; whereas in early 2020, Parliament deprioritised the draft law’s review, which remains pending; whereas Russia’s ombudsperson noted that domestic violence spiked during the COVID-19 pandemic, with reported cases more than doubling during the spring lockdown;’

§ 1, point g
First part	‘in line with the EU’s energy policy and interests, the EU needs to draw up and implement a clear strategy on how to end its dependency on Russian gas and oil and other raw materials (notably iron/steel, aluminium and nickel), and increase its own energy autonomy, at least while President Putin is in power; in this regard, the EU should uphold an ambitious and resolute green agenda and should have as a major geopolitical priority the rapid implementation of the EGD package, which includes measures such as the EU carbon leakage tax and decarbonisation initiatives with development of green hydrogen industries; the EU also needs to immediately implement new physical measures, such as reverse flow capabilities and additional cross-border infrastructure between Member States; the EU furthermore needs to diversify its energy supply, including by developing new capacities for liquefied natural gas imports, the energy transition and decarbonisation initiatives, which are rapidly gaining traction and could lessen demand for fossil fuels, thereby ending Russia’s energy dominance on the European continent;’
Second part	‘against this framework, the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which goes against European solidarity and risks increasing Russia’s dominance and the EU’s dependence on Russian gas and exposing Ukraine to Russian malevolence, should be immediately halted and should not be put into use under the current circumstances even if its construction is completed;’

Third part	‘the EU must insist that Soviet archives be opened to scholars and researchers and that details of the genocidal acts of Stalinists against Russians and other nations of the Soviet Union and its satellite states be made public,’
Fourth part	‘including files relating to the criminal Augustów Roundup military operation;’

First part	Text as a whole without the words: ‘namely children, persons with disabilities, single parents, ethnic minorities, such as Roma people, LGBTIQA+ people, people living in remote areas and older people’
Second part	those words
amendment 2
First part	Text as a whole without the words: ‘should further integrate’
Second part	those words
amendment 3
First part	‘Climate change and environmental related challenges, globalisation, digitalisation, artificial intelligence, teleworking, the platform economy and demographic change are transforming European economies and societies. While telework could be regarded as a step towards better work-life balance, enabling previously excluded groups of workers to access the labour markets, it also risks diluting boundaries between working and personal time, with possible negative effects on workers’ fundamental rights and their physical and mental health. The Union and its Member States should work together to effectively address these structural factors and adapt existing systems as needed, recognising the close interdependence of the Member States’ economies and labour markets, and related policies. This requires a coordinated, ambitious and effective policy action involving the social partners at both Union and national levels, in accordance with the TFEU, the European Pillar of Social Rights and the Union’s provisions on economic governance. Such policy action should encompass a boost in sustainable investment, a renewed commitment to appropriately sequenced reforms that enhance economic growth, quality job creation, productivity, decent working conditions, social and territorial cohesion, upward convergence, resilience and the exercise of fiscal and social responsibility. It should combine supply- and demand-side measures, while taking into account their environmental, employment and social impact. Following the Statement of EU ministers of finance on the Stability and Growth Pact in light of the COVID-19 crisis of 23 March 2020 , which announced a temporary derogation from the Stability and Growth Pact (general escape clause) and the Commission communication of 2 June 2021, entitled ‘Economic policy coordination in 2021: overcoming COVID-19, supporting the recovery and modernising our economy’, which indicated that the general escape clause would continue to be applied in 2022 and was expected to be deactivated from 2023, Member States should make full use of the potential offered by the general escape clause to support undertakings which are in difficulty or lack liquidity, in particular microenterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises, to safeguard jobs, wages and working conditions and to invest in people and social welfare systems.’
Second part	‘The potential risk for public finances, caused by the prolongation, as well as the potential social negative consequences of its deactivation, expected in 2023, should be evaluated ex-ante.’
amendment 9
First part	‘In its legislative resolution of 10 July 2020 on the proposal for a Council decision on guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States, the European Parliament called for a revision of the guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and its social and employment consequences in order to better respond to the crisis. It is essential that the guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States are revised accordingly.’
Second part	‘In order to strengthen democratic decision-making, the European Parliament should be involved in defining the Integrated Guidelines for Growth and Jobs on an equal footing with Council.’

25. Fishers for the future

First part	‘whereas in March 2020 some refugees with LGBTIQ+ profiles asked the UNHCR to relocate them outside Kenya as a result of the hostility of the country towards them; whereas over the past few months over 30 LGBTIQ+ people have been relocated from the Kakuma 3 part of the camp to other parts based on the safety concerns they raised and following careful assessment by the UNHCR on the ground;’
