Basque Friendship What is the Friendship “Towards a Peace process in the Basque Country” The 30th of November 2005 eleven MEPs decided to create the Friendship group "Towards a peace process in the Basque Country". We took this decision after seeing that there was a positive scenario of multi- party dialogue going on in the Basque Country that could end in a peace process. The Members of the European Parliament joining this Friendship did so with the inten- tion of supporting and taking an active part in the process of conflict resolution in the Basque Country. It was and still it is our hope that the conclusion of this conflict will come about on the basis of a multilateral political agreement which makes possible the scenario of peace and democracy that we all wish for. As a group we have met different actors involved in the conflict, we have given our opinion regarding different issues through press conferences and press releases. We have directly taken part or witnessed impor- tant political events in the Basque Country. We have explained our opinion and we have listened to many colleagues here in the European Parliament. We can say with no doubt that it has been a very active and posi- tive experience. The Friendship, is made up of eleven Members of the European Parliament. These MEPs belong to the Friendship individually, not in representation of their parties, coun- tries or European parliamentary groups. The Friendship has no connection with European institutions, neither does it repre- sent any European institution. It has come into being in the European Parliament at the initiative of MEPs, but is not a structure created by the European Parliament. It has been created chiefly in order to work within the European institutions. 02 FS NOVEMBER 2008 FRIENDSHIP TOWARDS A PEACE PROCESS IN THE BASQUE COUNTRY 04 Who is Who in the Friendship Group 04 Founding Manifesto of the Friendship Group 06 N°1 BASQUE COUNTRY 07 Basic Democratic Agreement 07 Basque Country 08 Opinion pools 10 ISSUE WORK IN THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT 11 Hearing 30th November 2005 11 Friendship public presentation 12 Debate in Strassbourg 25th October 2006 13 Egunkaria 15 THIS STATEMENTS 17 IN WORK IN THE FIELD 21 Tatjana Zdanoka Speaks in the BDA 23 Visits to Arnaldo Otegi: Bairbre de Brun, Helmuth Markov 24 OTHER INTERNATIONAL INITIATIVES TO SUPPORT PEACE IN THE BASQUE COUNTRY 25 FRIENDSHIP IN THE MEDIAS 27 Interview Bairbre de Brun 27 Helmuth Markov 28 Gerard Onesta 30 www.basquefriendship.eu NOVEMBER 2008 FS 03 Who is who in the Friendship group Tatjana Zdanoka Politisko organizaciju savieniba "Par cilveka WHO is WHO tiesibam vienota Latvija" Born on 8 May 1950, RIGA • Chairman, Lidztiesiba party (1996-2004) in the • Co-chairman, 'Par cilveka tiesibam vienota Latvija' politi- cal association (2000-2004). • Adviser to the Lidztiesiba parliamentary party in the Friendship group Latvian Parliament (1993- 1997). • Project leader, Human Rights Committee, Latvia (1997-2004). • Member, Riga City Council (1989-1994) Member, Riga City Council (1997-1999) • Member, Supreme Soviet of the Republic of Latvia (1990- 1993). • Co-chairman, Human Rights Committee of Latvia, affiliated to the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) (1995- Erik Meijer Jiri Mastalka 2004).

It is our hope that the conclu- sion of this conflict will come about on the basis of a multi- lateral political agreement which makes possible the sce- nario of peace and democracy that we all wish for. We share the idea that the only solution that is valid for eve- ryone is one that is drawn up by everyone and based on dia- logue and agreement. We share the idea that the solution entails recognition of all the individual and collective rights of everyone who lives anywhere in the country, independently of whether they reside under the Spanish or French administrations. We believe that the only valid political solution will be one that develops out of the strengthening of democracy and justice so as to permit recognition of the Basque Country as a political subject and acceptance of the right of all the citi- zens of the Basque Country to decide on their future. We agree that a key to the resolution of the Basque conflict will be a multilateral agreement guaranteeing that all Basque people, anywhere in their country, shall be consul- ted about decisions involving their future in a manner agreed to by their social, political and union representatives. This will come about as the result of a process based on dialogue and negotiation, and in our view it is essential that Founding such a political agreement, arrived at by democratic means, should be endorsed through referendum by the entire MANIFESTO population of the Basque Country. We also believe that this agreement must come about in a peaceful context in which all civil and political rights are of the respected, and should therefore be honoured by the states of the European Union.

  • Declaración Del Parlamento Europeo Sobre La Fibromialgia
    C 46 E/46 ES Diario Oficial de la Unión Europea 24.2.2010 Martes, 13 de enero de 2009 Fibromialgia P6_TA(2009)0014 Declaración del Parlamento Europeo sobre la fibromialgia (2010/C 46 E/07) El Parlamento Europeo, — Visto el artículo 116 de su Reglamento, A. Considerando que cerca de 14 millones de personas en la Unión Europea y entre el 1 y el 3 % de la población mundial total sufre de fibromialgia, un síndrome debilitante que causa dolores crónicos generalizados, B. Considerando que, aunque la Organización Mundial de la Salud reconoció la fibromialgia como enfer­ medad ya en 1992, esta patología no está incluida en el índice oficial de patologías en la UE, lo cual impide a los pacientes obtener un diagnóstico oficial, C. Considerando que las personas que sufren de fibromialgia acuden con más frecuencia al médico de cabe­ cera, son remitidos con mayor frecuencia a especialistas, reciben más certificados de baja por enfermedad y son hospitalizados con mayor frecuencia, lo que genera una carga económica considerable para la UE, D. Considerando que los pacientes de fibromialgia tienen que luchar por llevar una vida plena e indepen­ diente, a menos que tengan acceso a un tratamiento y un apoyo adecuados, 1. Pide al Consejo y a la Comisión que: — desarrollen una estrategia comunitaria sobre la fibromialgia con objeto de que esta patología sea recono­ cido como enfermedad; — contribuyan a la sensibilización sobre esta patología y faciliten el acceso a la información para profesio­ nales y pacientes, apoyando las campañas de la UE y nacionales de sensibilización; — alienten a los Estados miembros a mejorar el acceso al diagnóstico y al tratamiento; — promuevan la investigación sobre la fibromialgia mediante los programas de trabajo del Séptimo Programa Marco de Investigación y Desarrollo Tecnológico y futuros programas de investigación; — promuevan el desarrollo de programas para la recopilación de datos sobre la fibromialgia; 2.

  • Der Halbierte Demos
    Klaus Höpcke Der halbierte Demos Nach der Europa-Wahl: Parteiensystem delegitimiert? Wie gehen wir mit PDS-Wahlergebnissen um: Erfreut? Nüchtern? Fragen wir: Warum nicht sieben Prozent? TEXTE & ARGUMENTE (Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung in Thüringen) Thüringer Forum für Bildung und Wissenschaft e.V. 2 KLAUS HÖPCKE Von 26,5 Millionen Bürgerinnen und Bürgern der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, die am 13. Juni 2004 an der Wahl der Abgeordneten des Europa-Parlaments teil- genommen haben, was einer Wahlbeteiligung von 43 % entspricht, gaben andert- halb Millionen (genau: 1.579.693) ihre Stimme den auf einer offenen Liste ange- tretenen Kandidatinnen und Kandidaten der PDS. Das ergab einen Anteil von 6,1 % an den abgegebenen 25.780.773 gültigen Stimmen. Damit gehören dem Europäischen Parlament statt bisher sechs künftig sieben Politikerinnen und Politiker an, die das Europa-Wahlprogramm der Partei des Demokratischen Sozialismus vertreten. Es sind dies: Sylvia-Yvonne Kaufmann, Helmuth Markov, Gabi Zimmer, Tobias Pflüger, Sahra Wagenknecht, André Brie, Feleknas Uca. Wahlenthaltung einer 57-Prozent-Mehrheit Bevor wir uns den PDS-Wahlergebnissen im einzelnen zuwenden, halten wir ei- nen Augenblick bei der Wahlbeteiligung inne: Eine Mehrheit von 57 % der Wahl- berechtigten hat nicht gewählt. In der Zeitschrift „DeutschlandArchiv“ (Heft 4/2004, Seiten 556–560) wertet Hans-Georg Golz, Bonn, in einem Kommentar unter der Überschrift „Zeit des Abstrafens“ die drastische Wahlenthaltung als das gravierendste Ergebnis der Juni-Wahlen 2004. Damit hat er meines Erachtens recht. Mir scheint aber, aus dieser Tatsache ergeben sich grundsätzlichere Fragen, als er sie stellt. Die Vorstellung von der Legitimität, der politischen Rechtmäßigkeit eines de- mokratischen Staats beruht auf der Annahme, in ihm bestimme das Volk, wer ge- wählt wird und wer nicht; dem gemäß gehe die Staatsgewalt vom Volk aus.
