    H.E. Petr Ne čas Prime Minister of the Czech Republic Úřad vlády České republiky náb ř. Edvarda Beneše 4 118 01 Praha 1 e-mail: [email protected] Brussels, 24 April 2013 Dear Prime Minister Ne čas, It is with great alarm that we are following the situation in the Czech Republic, where incomprehensible developments are taking place related to the outstanding Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes and its subordinate, the Security Services Archive. In only 5 years of their existence, both institutions have gained impressive international recognition for their pioneering work and high standards both on the domestic and European level - as frontrunners among similar institutions working on coming to terms with the terrible legacy of totalitarianism in Europe. The Institutions have earned their international reputation for producing high quality publications, exhibitions and for organizing high profile conferences. The access provided to the files of the former totalitarian secret services is the most liberal worldwide and the digitalization of archival documents proceeds at an unsurpassed speed. Moreover, the Institute has been the promoter of a unique process of uniting over twenty partner institutions from 13 EU Member States in the Platform of European Memory and Conscience, which was endorsed by an overwhelming majority of the European Parliament in its Resolution on European Conscience and Totalitarianism of 2 April 2009 as well as by the EU Council in 2009 and 2011 and the European Commission in 2010. We have stood in close and mutually enriching cooperation with the Institute for the past five years. We have now learned that, on 10 April 2013, the newly elected Institute Council dismissed acting Director Daniel Herman from office in the middle of his five-year term and that the entire 15-member Scientific Council of the Institute, consisting of domestic and international academic experts, resigned within two days thereupon.

  • 6 Gender Budgeting Yolanda
    FEBRUARY 2010 Proposal made during the Spanish Presidency of the European Council Yolanda Jubeto Universidad del País Vasco. Spain Angela O’Hagan Glasgow Caledonian University. UK NIPO 800-10-037-5 GENDER BUDGETING PROPOSAL TO THE EUROPEAN UNION INSTITUTIONS ON THE ADDED VALUE OF INTRODUCING GENDER-BASED ANALYSIS IN THE BUDGETARY POLICY OF THE EUROPEAN UNION AND ITS MEMBER STATES PRESENTATION This research is presented as a contribution of the Spanish Presidency of the European Union to increase and improve the state of the art on one of the issues whose importance is growing on the EU and its member States: the gender budget analysis. Gender budgeting is a strategic tool that provides the means for determining the effect of gov- ernment revenue and expenditure policies on women and men. It involves the examination of how budgetary allocations affect the economic and social opportunities of women and men. It represents a direct example of the mainstreaming principle, and involves an improvement in the quality and evaluation of the public policies. Since the concept appeared in the eighties of last century in Australia, different international or- ganizations have shown their interest in this issue: from the Beijing Platform for Action in United Nations, whose fifteenth anniversary has been celebrated during the Spanish Presidency, to the European Parliament Resolution on gender budgeting - building public budgets from a gender perspective (2002/2198(INI), following the Roadmap for Equality between women and men 2006-2010, the debate has been accompanied by reports and international conferences organized by the Council of Europe or the OECD.

  • A Tour of the European Electoral Campaigns in View of the European Elections (4Th-7Th June 2009)
    A tour of the European Electoral Campaigns in view of the European Elections (4th-7th June 2009) Author: Corinne Deloy, author of the European Elections Monitor (EEM) for the Robert Schuman Foundation and project manager at the Institute for Political Studies (Sciences Po). Germany Date of the election: 7th June (regional and local by-elections on the same day) Number of MEPs to be elected: 99 2009 is a super electoral year for the Germans, who within one year, will have to vote in general, regional, local, European and even the presidential elections (23rd May next by parliament). On 7th June, the day of the European election, local elections will also take place in the Länder of Bavaria, Saxony and Rhineland-Palatinate. 64 million Germans are being called to ballot including 4.3 million who will be voting for the first time. Turn out will be the greatest challenge to rise to as in all of the other European countries. According to a survey for the European institutions, only 44% of the Germans are aware that the European Parliament will be elected this year and 43% say they will go and vote. 31 political parties and associations are submitting themselves to the citizens’ judgment, a first in the country’s history. The most important of these groups are Die Linke (Left Party) whose list is being led by Lothar Bisky, the SPD (Social Democratic Party) led by Martin Schulz, chair of the European Socialists’ group in the European Parliament since 2004, die Grünen (the Greens) led by Rebecca Harms and Reinhard Bütighofer, the FDP (Liberal Democratic Party) led by young economist Silvana Koch-Mehrin, the CDU (Christian Democratic Union) led by present president of the European Parliament Hans- Gert Pöttering and the CSU (Social Christian Union) led by Martin Ferber.

  • Letter of Support
    Letter of Support The best policies for the integration of migrants are not an enigma. Migrants need opportunities to participate in the life of their country of residence fully, without fear of discrimination. They also need clear legal pathways to full national citizenship. As European populations become more diverse, each country needs to constantly re-think the meaning of citizenship to find new ways of living together in a welcoming society. Many of us have worked to translate these statements into a robust framework of high standards, developed through European cooperation on integration. Time and time again, our governments have committed us to put these principles into practice by raising the standards of our national laws and policies on migrant integration. Until now, however, it has been a challenge to monitor whether governments have been living up to these promises across Europe. The Migrant Integration Policy Index (MIPEX) reveals the ‘good intentions gap’ between best practice and real policies by providing clear, concise and comparable data. We welcome MIPEX as a tool that brings the power of benchmarking to integration policy. We look forward to learning the 2006 results and launching a debate on integration policies across Europe, where myths are challenged with the facts and low expectations with high standards of best practice. Signatories International Jan Andersson, Member of the European Parliament, Chairman of Employment and Social Affairs Committee, Sweden Enrique Barón Crespo, Member of the European Parliament,
