European Parliament – Who is who - 3 - Political Groups The Members of the European Parliament sit in political groups – they are not organised by nationality, but by political affiliation. There are currently 7 political groups in the European Parliament. Each takes care of its own internal organisation by appointing a chair (or two co-chairs in the case of some groups), a bureau and a secretariat. The places assigned to Members in the Chamber are decided by political affiliation, from left to right, by agreement with the group chairmen. 25 Members are needed to form a political group, and at least one-quarter of the Member States must be represented within the group. Members may not belong to more than one political group. Some Members do not belong to any political group and are known as non-attached Members. Before every vote in plenary the political groups scrutinise the reports drawn up by the parliamentary committees and table amendments to them. The position adopted by the political group is arrived at by discussion within the group. No Member can be forced to vote in a particular way. 754 Members of the European Parliament EPP: Group of the European People's Party (Christian Democrats) S&D: Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats ALDE: Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Greens-EFA: Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance ECR: European Conservatives and Reformists GUE-NGL: Confederal Group of the European United Left - Nordic Green Left EFD: Europe of Freedom and Democracy Group NI: Non-attached Members European Parliament – Who is who - 4 - EUROPEAN PEOPLES’ PARTY GROUP (EPP) President and vice presidents President National Country Joseph Daul France Vice-Presidents Ioannis Kasoulides Cyprus Manfred Weber Germany Jozsef Szajer Hungary Vito Bonsignore Italy Jan Olbrycht Poland Paulo Rangel Portugal Marian-Jean Marinescu Romania Jaime Mayor Oreja Spain Gunnar Hökmark Sweden Corien Wortmann-Kool The Netherlands PROGRESSIVE ALLIANCE SOCIALISTS AND DEMOCRATS GROUP (S&D) President and vice presidents President National Country Johannes Swoboda Austria Vice Presidents Véronique de Keyser Belgium Libor Roucek Czech Republic Sylvie Guillaume France Bernhard Rapkay Germany Patrizia Toia Italy Rovana Plumb Romania Monika Flasikova Benova Slovakia Enrique Guerrero Salom Spain Marita Ulvskrog Sweden Stephen Hughes United Kingdom ALLIANCE OF DEMOCRATS AND LIBERALS FOR EUROPE (ALDE) President and vice presidents President National Country Guy Verhofstadt Belgium Vice-President Antonyia Parvanova Bulgaria Alexander Lambsdorff Germany Marielle De Sarnez France Anneli Jäätteenmäki Finland Niccolò Rinaldi Italy Adina Ioana Vălean Romania European Parliament – Who is who - 5 - GREENS/EUROPEAN FREE ALLIANCE (GREENS/EFA) President and vice presidents President National Country Daniel Cohn-Bendit France Rebecca Harms Germany Vice Presidents Eva Lichtenberger Austria Michèle Rivasi France Reinhard Bütikofer Germany Claude Turmes Luxembourg Marije Cornelissen Netherlands Raül Romeva I Rueda Spain Jill Evans United Kingdom EUROPEAN CONSERVATIVES AND REFORMISTS (ECR) President and vice presidents President National Country Martin Callanan United Kingdom Vice-Presidents Derk Jan Eppink Belgium Jan Zahradil Czech Republic Ryszard Antoni Legutko Poland Geoffrey Van Orden UK EUROPEAN UNITED LEFT / NORDIC GREEN LEFT (GUE/NGL) President and vice presidents President National Country Lothar Bisky Germany Vice Presidents Takis Hadjigeorgiou Cyprus Miloslav Ransdorf Czech Republic Patrick Le Hyaric France Kartika Liotard Netherlands Ilda Figueiredo Portugal Mikael Gustafsson Sweden European Parliament – Who is who - 6 - EUROPE OF FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY GROUP (EFD) President and vice presidents President National Country Francesco Speroni Italy Nigel Farage United Kingdom First Vice-President Kiria Niki Tzavella Greece Second Vice-President Morten Messerschmidt Denmark Vice-Presidents Timo Soini Finland Philippe de Villiers France Bastiaan Belder Netherlands Jaroslav Paška Slovakia European Parliament – Who is who - 7 - Key Committees (out of 22) In order to do the preparatory work for Parliament’s plenary sittings, the Members are divided up among a number of specialised standing committees. 1.

  • Romanian Political Science Review Vol. XXI, No. 1 2021
    Romanian Political Science Review vol. XXI, no. 1 2021 The end of the Cold War, and the extinction of communism both as an ideology and a practice of government, not only have made possible an unparalleled experiment in building a democratic order in Central and Eastern Europe, but have opened up a most extraordinary intellectual opportunity: to understand, compare and eventually appraise what had previously been neither understandable nor comparable. Studia Politica. Romanian Political Science Review was established in the realization that the problems and concerns of both new and old democracies are beginning to converge. The journal fosters the work of the first generations of Romanian political scientists permeated by a sense of critical engagement with European and American intellectual and political traditions that inspired and explained the modern notions of democracy, pluralism, political liberty, individual freedom, and civil rights. Believing that ideas do matter, the Editors share a common commitment as intellectuals and scholars to try to shed light on the major political problems facing Romania, a country that has recently undergone unprecedented political and social changes. They think of Studia Politica. Romanian Political Science Review as a challenge and a mandate to be involved in scholarly issues of fundamental importance, related not only to the democratization of Romanian polity and politics, to the “great transformation” that is taking place in Central and Eastern Europe, but also to the make-over of the assumptions and prospects of their discipline. They hope to be joined in by those scholars in other countries who feel that the demise of communism calls for a new political science able to reassess the very foundations of democratic ideals and procedures.

  • Green Deal – the Coordinators
    Green Deal – The Coordinators David Sassoli S&D ”I want the European Green Deal to become Europe’s hallmark. At the heart of it is our commitment to becoming the world’s first climate-neutral continent. It is also a long-term economic imperative: those who act first European Parliament and fastest will be the ones who grasp the opportunities from the ecological transition. I want Europe to be 1 February 2020 – H1 2024 the front-runner.

  • Blogger Voice of Young People
    TALKING LANGUAGES In Sleepyville, Italy, there is a political conversation going on. The Slovenian minority of the city proposed, that lessons of Slovenian language should be obligatory for all secondary schools in the city. Many parties were against this proposal, since only 20% of the population are Slovenians. Parties proposed many different solutions. For example Italian Pirate party was putting its hopes for the future and proposing that everyone should learn Esperanto. They also suggested that we should form a council of children. The Liberal Economical party wanted us to think about the young people, whom council decision will most clearly affect. Feminist party was mainly happy to see so many female faces in the council and especially the gender of the mayor made them really happy. Italian Nationalists party thought, that if Italian kids would learn Slovenian, it would be easier for criminal Slovenian kids to sell them drugs. Meanwhile, the Workers party was again preparing for the revolution. During their speech, the mayor felt a bit insecure and the security was called. Twice the party members were told to back up from the mayor’s table. This seemed to confuse her so much, that she dozed off in some points of the conversation. Someone also told the Workers party members to smoke less weed. During the coffee brake an interesting suspicion was raised. The member of the APP, Oldrich Justa had been seen talking to the mayor before the council meeting. Some suggested corruption, but when asked about personal relationship between Justa and the mayor, the smile on his face couldn't have been wider.

Adoption of the draft agenda The agenda was adopted. 2. Adoption of the minutes of 19 March 2013 The minutes were adopted. 3. Announcements by the Chair The Chair made the following points: 1) Conference of Delegation Chairs I would like to report back to Members on the last Conference of Delegation Chairs meeting which was held in Strasbourg last week. It is concerning to note the increasing number of decisions which are being taken by the Secretary General without debate. The most recent is on the availability of interpreters for delegation meetings which have been allocated Thursday afternoons as a viable time. Unfortunately, as we are well aware, most Members need to return to their national constituencies by Thursday afternoons, so this is not a viable option for the delegation. This is a concerning development as it limits the participation of Members and staff who rely on the interpreters services. Ongoing issues remain regarding the budget and travel allowance for delegations, and the fact that this does not adequately take into account multi-country delegations or those with PV\935068EN.doc PE510.439v01-00 EN United in diversity EN countries who cannot easily conduct visits to Brussels. This is possibly something Members could discuss with their Group Presidents, and I will continue to follow up within the Conference of Delegation Chairs.

They long to know what the decision-makers are thinking, so they can plan ahead. They yearn to be in the loop, to have the drop on things. It is the genius of the lobbyists and the consultants to understand this need, and to satisfy it in the most imaginative way. Business forums are vehicles for forging links and maintain a dialogue with business, industrial and trade organisations. They allow the discussions of general and pre-legislative issues in a different context from lobbying contacts about specific matters. They provide an opportunity to get Members of the European Parliament and other decision-makers from the European institutions together with various business sectors.
