Een mooi moment om terug te blikken en conclusies te trekken. In juni 2009 vonden de verkiezingen voor het Europees Parlement plaats en werden 25 Nederlandse Europarlementariërs gekozen om de komende vijf jaar plaats te nemen in het Parlement. Het Instituut voor Publiek en Politiek (IPP)1 beschikt over data van de hoofdelijke stemmingen van de Nederlandse parlementsleden en hierdoor ligt de mogelijkheid vrij om deze gegevens te analyseren. Door deze informatie te interpreteren kan er onderzoek gedaan worden naar het stemgedrag van de Nederlandse parlementariërs. In 2009 is namens het IPP al onderzoek gedaan naar het stemgedrag van de Nederlandse Europarlementariërs in de periode oktober 2007 tot en met september 2008. Belangrijke conclusies van dat onderzoek waren: • Het stemgedrag van Europarlementariërs is vooral te verklaren vanuit een links/rechts ideologie en niet vanuit nationale belangen. In slechts 9,5% van de gevallen stemmen alle Nederlandse Europarlementariërs hetzelfde. • Het gemeenschappelijk stemgedrag binnen de delegaties ligt veel hoger. De cohesie binnen de verschillende politieke partijen ligt tussen de 0,94 en 0,99, waarbij 1 maximale cohesie is.

  • Jean-Claude Juncker President of the European Commission Brussels Cc
    Jean-Claude Juncker President of the European Commission Brussels cc: Frans Timmermans, First Vice-President, European Commission Maroš Šefčovič, Vice-President, European Commission Violeta Bulc, European Commissioner for Transport 9 June 2015 Dear President Juncker, We are writing to express our concern on hearing that the Commission has withdrawn plans to propose an EU-wide strategic target for reducing serious road traffic injuries, set to be announced later this week. This long-planned initiative, reconfirmed in a Commission press release as recently as 24 March, has already been strongly supported by member states and the European Parliament. An announcement at the meeting of Transport Ministers in June was expected but we understand on good authority that those plans have now been dropped. You have said that the European Commission is to be “serious about being big on big things”. Serious road injuries are undoubtedly a very big thing, with at least 200,000 people suffering life-changing consequences resulting from traffic collisions last year alone. The timing of this decision is unfortunate as, according to analysis by ETSC, serious road injuries increased by 3% last year. Furthermore, over recent years, declines in serious road injuries have not matched the reductions in road deaths. Moreover, there is a strong economic case to act. Estimates undertaken by ETSC show that, if all serious injuries recorded in 2010 could have been prevented, the benefits to society would have been more than 50 billion Euros in that year. The role of road safety targets in the current progress in reducing road deaths is known to be effective, as is confirmed both by the OECD (“Towards zero: achieving ambitious road safety targets and the safe system approach”, 2008) and scientists (Elvik, “Quantified road safety targets: a useful tool for policy making”, Accident analysis and prevention, 1993).

  • Brussels, March 4 , 2015 SUBJECT: the Case of Raif Badawi and Other Prisoners of Conscience in Saudi Arabia Madam High Repre
    Brussels, March 4th, 2015 SUBJECT: The case of Raif Badawi and other prisoners of conscience in Saudi Arabia Madam High Representative, We are again writing to you regarding the case of Raif Badawi, Saudi prisoner of conscience, currently held in detention by the Saudi authorities, after having been convicted by the Criminal Court of Jeddah. We remain deeply concerned about the possible developments in his case. We have been informed by multiple sources that Mr. Badawi may be subjected again in the near future to a new trial, this time for apostasy, and that he faces, if found guilty by the Criminal Court, the risk of being convicted to the death penalty. We, therefore, urge you to employ all your best efforts to call on the authorities of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the release of Raif Badawi, his lawyer Walled Abulkhair who is also imprisoned and of all other prisoners of conscience. Raif Badawi’s alleged crime was to use his freedom of expression, which is an international human right that Saudi Arabia is bound to respect. We understand that Saudi Arabia is deemed an important partner to the European Union, both individually and in the context of EU’s relationship with the Gulf Cooperation Council. Nevertheless, we strongly believe that engagement with third countries must be based on the upholding of international law, namely, international human rights law, and Saudi Arabia is no exception to that. The moment has come, especially now with a new Saudi leadership, for the EU to send a clear message to the Saudi authorities demanding that it respects, protects and fulfills international human rights, releases all prisoners of conscience and revokes all institutionalized practices that actively infringe fundamental freedoms in the Kingdom.

  • Brussels, 24 February 2021
    Brussels, 24 February 2021 Declaration from Members of the European Parliament to urge the Commission and Member States not to block the TRIPS waiver at the WTO and to support global access to COVID-19 vaccines We, Members of the European Parliament, urge the European Commission and the European Council to review their opposition to the TRIPS waiver proposal at the World Trade Organisation (WTO), which serves to enable greater access to affordable COVID-19 health technologies, including vaccines, in particular for developing and middle income countries. This call comes in view of the European Council meeting of 25 February 2021 and the crucial decision to be made by all Member States at the WTO General Council on 1-2 March 2021. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the need to ensure global open access to COVID-19 health technologies and to rapidly scale up their manufacturing and supply has been widely acknowledged. However, despite efforts and statements made by the European Commission and several heads of state in support of treating COVID-19 medical products as global public goods, this has not yet translated into actionable realities. In this context, the EU’s open opposition to the TRIPS waiver risks exacerbating a dangerous North-South divide when it comes to affordable access to COVID-19 diagnostics, personal protective equipment, treatments and vaccines. The WTO decision on a potential waiver offers a crucial and much-needed act of effective solidarity, as it is an important step towards increasing local production in partner countries and, ultimately, suppressing this pandemic on a global scale.

  • Werkbezoeken Aan Europese Topspelers Dinsdagmiddag 9
    Werkbezoeken aan Europese topspelers Dinsdagmiddag 9 oktober gingen de deelnemers aan de Europese Week van Regio’s en Steden op werkbezoek bij diverse Europese topspelers in Brussel. Hieronder een impressie uit een aantal van deze gesprekken. Uit het gesprek met Annie Schreijer-Pierik en Jan Huitema (Europees Parlement) CDA-Europarlementariër Annie Schreijer-Pierik is lid van de commissies Milieubeheer, Landbouw (AGRI) en Visserij. De groep sprak onder meer met haar over het voorstel over het Gemeenschappelijk Landbouwbeleid (GLB) na 2020, dat de Europese Commissie op 1 juni heeft gepresenteerd. Volgens de plannen van de Europese Commissie krimpt het GLB-budget fors. Brussel kiest voor een 15% lager budget, maar gaat wel meer eisen stellen over klimaat en kringlooplandbouw. Inzet van het CDA: overheveling van budget van pijler 1 (directe inkomenssteun boeren) naar pijler 2 (plattelandsontwikkeling). Europarlementariër Jan Huitema (VVD) ziet een kans in het lagere budget: “Door de bezuinigingen op het budget voor de landbouwsector wordt de urgentie meer en meer gevoeld om de concurrentiepositie van de boer met een modern landbouwbeleid te versterken. Dit is een kans, ook voor de Nederlandse, en Twentse, landbouwsector”. Met directe inkomenssteun wordt volgens Huitema de concurrentiepositie van de Europese landbouwsector niet verbeterd. Huitema: “Het is luie politiek”. En natuurlijk kon een bezoek aan een commissievergadering, waar op dat moment door de leden van de AGRI-commissie werd gediscussieerd over de toekomst van het GLB, niet ontbreken. Uit het gesprek met Lodewijk Buschkens (ICODA Public Affairs) Lodewijk Buschkens is mede oprichter van ICODA European Affairs, een full service public affairs bureau in Brussel. Zijn bureau adviseert sinds jaar en dag diverse opdrachtgevers op het gebied van belangenbehartiging in Brussel.

Mr Tsemakh is a former commander of pro-Russian air defence forces in the non-government controlled territory of the so-called "Donetsk People's Republic" and is a key suspect in the tragedy of passenger flight MH17, shot down in eastern Ukraine on 17 July 2014 by a Russian BUK missile. All 298 people on board, including 196 Dutch, were killed. While we understand the context within which such negotiations are taking place and the diplomatic efforts by the Ukrainian authorities to this end, Mr Tsemakh is a suspect in the criminal investigation related to the downing of flight MH17 and his availability and testimony before the Joint Investigation Team is thus of the utmost importance for an effective prosecution by the countries involved. Mr Tsemakh is a Ukrainian citizen and is under Ukrainian custody. UNSC resolution 2166 demands that those directly or indirectly responsible for the downing of MH17 must be held accountable and must be brought to justice. The European Parliament and the European Council have reiterated on numerous occasions their full support to the work of the Joint Investigation Team and the ongoing efforts. All States that are in a position to assist with the investigation and prosecution of those responsible must fully cooperate with the ongoing criminal investigation.
