Rights and Gender Equality International Women’s Day is unquestionably an important celebration of the pursuit of equality, even if there is always room for further progress. We must therefore continue to 12 Delegations show commitment to ensure that women have access to the same rights and opportunities in all areas of life across the European Union. At the upcoming European elections, I sincerely hope that our efforts will pave the way towards a further increase in the number of women elected to parliament. The European Parliament must lead the way in delivering concrete results that deliver full recognition of women’s rights. The messages and signals that this house send out enjoy global resonance. It is therefore imperative that we continue to emphasise the importance of gender equality as a core value and reflection of the kind of society that we want to live in. Antonio Tajani Equality and Diversity Unit – Directorate-General for Personnel 3 WOMEN IN THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT HIGH LEVEL GROUP ON GENDER EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY DIMITRIOS PAPADIMOULIS Chair (GUE/NGL – EL) The High-Level Group on Gender Equality and Diversity (HLG) was established by the Bureau in 2004. It was created primarily to encourage and implement gender mainstreaming within Parliament’s activities, structures and bodies, and to promote the values of equality and non-discrimination in Parliament’s administration. As Vice-President responsible for gender equality and diversity, I chair the HLG and have overseen its mandate of promoting equality, non-discrimination, and diversity in the Secretariat for the legislative term 2014-2019. Such a mandate is important in order to ensure that the Secretariat reflects as closely as possible the European society our House represents. The HLG is a horizontal body that closely cooperates with other parliamentary bodies, in particular the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality (FEMM Committee) and the Conference of Committee and Conference of Delegation Chairs. Its priorities with respect to gender for 2014-2019 have revolved around promoting full equality between men and women in all aspects of working life, fostering a safe, inclusive, and discrimination-free working environment, and ensuring that appropriate administrative structures are in place for mainstreaming gender into Parliament’s activities. Currently, the HLG’s members comprise: Evelyne GEBHARDT Lívia JÁRÓKA Heidi HAUTALA Catherine BEARDER (S&D – DE) (EPP – HU) (Greens/EFA – FI) (ALDE – UK) Furthermore, the permanently invited members are: Cecilia WIKSTRÖM Rebecca HARMS Vilija BLINKEVIČIŪTĖ Angelika MLINAR (ALDE – SV) (Greens/EFA – DE) (S&D – LT) (ALDE – AT) As we approach the end of the eighth legislative term, we need to reflect on what we have achieved since 2014 and identify areas where there is still progress to be made. Our actions have largely followed structures outlined in two Bureau documents that we have drawn up and implemented. Firstly, the Action Plan for the promotion of gender equality and diversity in the European Parliament’s Secretariat 2014-2019, adopted by the Bureau in 2015, has a specific line of action dedicated to gender that I am pleased to say we have successfully implemented. Measures focussing on gender balance, equal distribution of work responsibilities, and gender-neutral language have all produced pleasing results and are contributing to making Parliament a International Women’s Day – 8 March 2019 4 POLITICAL POSTS better workplace for all. In particular, I would like to highlight the positive actions for women that have been set up in recruitment, which respond to an important point of the Action Plan and create a more egalitarian organisational culture. As the statistics in this brochure show, the domain of women in management has seen some success in recent years. Achieving better representation for women has been facilitated by the 2017 Papadimoulis report on ‘Gender Equality in the European Parliament Secretariat - state of play and the way forward 2017-2019’1 and the step-by-step actions in its accompanying roadmap. This roadmap, a development of the Action Plan and drawn up to implement the report’s recommendations, also tackles the question of gathering statistics and its importance in achieving gender balance. By ensuring that statistical data on gender equality is gathered and published twice yearly, the roadmap’s concrete framework has allowed us to monitor progress and better understand the bigger picture in achieving equality as we move closer to our targets for gender balance. I am confident that our work over the course of 2014-2019 gives us a strong grounding to move forward now and build on the measures already implemented in order to ensure full equality. I believe that significant progress has been made regarding the visibility of women. It was a particular highlight to have been able to personally award Ms María Andrés Marín, Head of the EP Liaison Office in Madrid (DG COMM), the inaugural Simone Veil Award for Equality and Diversity for her initiative to increase the visibility of women in debates and committees, which helps to better reflect the make-up of Europe. One of the HLG’s priorities for 2018, which will continue to have great importance in years to come, has been the assurance of a safe and inclusive working environment for all staff. Eradicating all kinds of harassment within the European Parliament is essential to this aim; it is with this in mind that we have reviewed the current procedure for reporting harassment. In particular, the Rules of Procedure will see a ‘Code of Appropriate Conduct in the Workplace for Members of the European Parliament’ added, and any member who does not sign a declaration of compliance will not be able to assume position as an office- holder for Parliament. In addition, the 2017-2019 roadmap on ‘Preventive and early support measures to deal with conflict and harassment between Members and APAs, Trainees or other staff’ recommends training for MEPs and staff, and establishes a task force of independent, external experts to examine the situation of sexual harassment in the European Parliament and the functioning of its two harassment committees. Furthermore, on the 28th November 2018, the HLG held a hearing with experts alongside the Advisory Committee on Harassment on combatting harassment in the workplace and its psychological impact. In addition, the HLG has striven to promote gender equality in all aspects of the European Parliament, including the implementation of gender-neutral language in its publications and providing language-specific guidance on gender-neutral language in each of the Community’s languages. Looking to 2019, our next tasks are to follow up on the proportion of women in all management positions within the Secretariat. As set out in the Papadimoulis report, we aim towards women occupying 40% of Head of Unit, 35% of Director and 30% of Director General positions, with a minimum requirement of 30% of women in these roles2. In addition to targeted actions, I am also proud to outline the HLG’s commitment to identifying cross cutting measures, which aim to eliminate discrimination based upon disabilities, sexual orientation, gender identity and race. All of these characteristics significantly intersect with equality of women and promote a safe, inclusive workplace that benefits the general wellbeing of all staff within the European Parliament’s Secretariat. Significant progress has been made to ensure that the European Parliament’s Secretariat is an egalitarian and safe workplace that is free from discrimination, but we are aware of the work that is yet to be done. International Women’s Day reminds us that gender equality is not a finished project, that we must not become complacent, and that our women colleagues deserve our continued efforts.

  • European Parliament: 7Th February 2017 Redistribution of Political Balance
    POLICY PAPER European issues n°420 European Parliament: 7th February 2017 redistribution of political balance Charles de Marcilly François Frigot At the mid-term of the 8th legislature, the European Parliament, in office since the elections of May 2014, is implementing a traditional “distribution” of posts of responsibility. Article 19 of the internal regulation stipulates that the Chairs of the parliamentary committees, the Deputy-Chairs, as well as the questeurs, hold their mandates for a renewable 2 and a-half year period. Moreover, internal elections within the political groups have supported their Chairs, whilst we note that there has been some slight rebalancing in terms of the coordinators’ posts. Although Italian citizens draw specific attention with the two main candidates in the battle for the top post, we should note other appointments if we are to understand the careful balance between nationalities, political groups and individual experience of the European members of Parliament. A TUMULTUOUS PRESIDENTIAL provide collective impetus to potential hesitations on the part of the Member States. In spite of the victory of the European People’s Party (EPP) in the European elections, it supported Martin As a result the election of the new President of Schulz in July 2104 who stood for a second mandate as Parliament was a lively[1] affair: the EPP candidate – President of the Parliament.

  • Time for the European Commission to Legislate on Collective Redress
    Mr Jean-Claude Juncker President of the Commission Mrs Vera Jourová Commissioner The Consumer Voice in Europe European Commission Rue de la Loi 200 B – 1049 Brussels Ref.: BEUC-X-2017-107 10 October 2017 Subject: Time for the European Commission to legislate on collective redress Dear President Juncker, Dear Commissioner Jourová, I write on behalf of BEUC, The European Consumer Organisation, to ask you to propose a binding legislative measure on collective redress. Consumer rights at EU level have come a long way over the last 20 years. However, the inability of consumers to band together to claim their rights when they have suffered detriment is one of the missing pieces of the jigsaw for EU consumers to access justice. As you are aware, Volkswagen has steadfastly refused to compensate consumers in Europe affected by the emissions scandal. This is in stark contrast to their response in the United States, where the threat of class action has proved decisive in delivering compensation for affected consumers. In your State of the Union speech a few days ago, you said that you are “shocked when consumers are knowingly and deliberately misled” and that you “call on the car industry to come clean and make it right”. We know that despite Commissioner Jourova’s efforts, which we appreciate, the company still refuses to put things right. Since the scandal broke over two years ago, VW remains adamant it will not compensate European car owners. It is now in your hands to decide whether in the future European consumers who have been victims of fraud on a large scale, or who have suffered from a trader’s unfair or illegal practices, should have a realistic chance to be compensated.

  • Brussels, to the Attention of Members of the European Parliament Who
    CATHERINE ASHTQN ANDRIS PIEBALGS HIGH REPRESENTATIVE MEMBER OF THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION VICE PRESIDENT OF THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION DEVELOPMENT Brussels, A(2013)3540142-3819594 To the attention of Members of the European Parliament who signed the letter of 20 November Dear Colleagues, Thank you for your letter of 20 November addressed to both of us as well as to Commissioners Georgieva and De Gucht concerning land acquisitions in Colombia. Land issues axe obviously one of the key dimensions of the decade-old internal conflict in Colombia and therefore deserve close attention on the part of the EU. This is the reason why the EU has been devoting considerable financial resources to funding projects aimed at helping displaced people, at facilitating their return and reintegration and at supporting people at risk in the framework of the land restitution process. Moreover, the EU is also directly contributing to the implementation of the law on victims and land restitution through a project funded in the framework of the instrument for stability. At political level, the issues related to the implementation of the law are also discussed regularly in the framework of the various dialogue fora between the EU and Colombia, including the EU-Coiombia Dialogue on Human Rights. The EU is also engaged in exchanges with the Colombian authorities about mining and natural resources, which have an obvious relation with land use and occupation issues. The EU is hopeful that the current negotiations between the FARC and the Colombian authorities should, if they are successful, contribute to reducing tensions about land in Colombia. We have also been informed that the Colombian institute for Rural Development (INCODER), in charge of the formalisation of land titles, has launched a number of enquiries into a number of cases of alleged undue accumulation of agricultural family units (IJAF), including in the region to which your correspondence refers.

    European Community No. 26/1984 July 10, 1984 Contact: Ella Krucoff (202) 862-9540 THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: 1984 ELECTION RESULTS :The newly elected European Parliament - the second to be chosen directly by European voters -- began its five-year term last month with an inaugural session in Strasbourg~ France. The Parliament elected Pierre Pflimlin, a French Christian Democrat, as its new president. Pflimlin, a parliamentarian since 1979, is a former Prime Minister of France and ex-mayor of Strasbourg. Be succeeds Pieter Dankert, a Dutch Socialist, who came in second in the presidential vote this time around. The new assembly quickly exercised one of its major powers -- final say over the European Community budget -- by blocking payment of a L983 budget rebate to the United Kingdom. The rebate had been approved by Community leaders as part of an overall plan to resolve the E.C.'s financial problems. The Parliament froze the rebate after the U.K. opposed a plan for covering a 1984 budget shortfall during a July Council of Ministers meeting. The issue will be discussed again in September by E.C. institutions. Garret FitzGerald, Prime Minister of Ireland, outlined for the Parliament the goals of Ireland's six-month presidency of the E.C. Council. Be urged the representatives to continue working for a more unified Europe in which "free movement of people and goods" is a reality, and he called for more "intensified common action" to fight unemployment. Be said European politicians must work to bolster the public's faith in the E.C., noting that budget problems and inter-governmental "wrangles" have overshadolted the Community's benefits.
