  • 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. In all, with the support of the Antonio Tajani – and S&D Gianni Pittella were running Liberals (ADLE), Martin Schulz won 409 votes following neck and neck in the fourth round of the relative an agreement concluded by the “grand coalition” after majority of the votes cast[2].

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.

  • Europa Stärken Heißt Deutschland Stärken! Deutschland Heißt Stärken Europa
    Europa stärken heißt Deutschland stärken! Deutschland heißt stärken Europa 1 2 Europa stärken heißt Deutschland stärken Die europäische Politik steht heute mehr denn je im Zentrum des öffentlichen Interesses in Deutschland. Die großen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit – die kriegeri- schen Konflikte in unseren Nachbarregionen, die Migra- tionsbewegungen und der Kampf gegen Islamismus und Terrorismus – lassen sich nicht mehr national lösen. Nur gemeinsam mit unseren europäischen Partnern können wir tragfähige Lösungen erarbeiten und die Errungenschaften der europäischen Einigung – Frieden, Freiheit, Sicherheit und wirtschaftlicher Wohlstand – erhalten. Das Auftreten populistischer, europafeindlicher Parteien und der von Großbritannien angestrebte Austritt aus der EU dürfen nicht darüber hinwegtäuschen, dass die überwältigende Mehrheit der Deutschen wie der Euro- päer von der Notwendigkeit der europäischen Einigung überzeugt ist. Dieses Vertrauen gilt es durch sachge- rechte politische Lösungen auf allen Ebenen zu stärken. Wir arbeiten daher nachhaltig für sichere EU-Außen- grenzen, eine dauerhafte Reduktion der Migrations- ströme nach Europa, eine stabile europäische Währung, solide Staatshaushalte, einen funktionierenden Binnen- markt, Wirtschaftswachstum und Arbeitsplätze, innere und äußere Sicherheit sowie die Bewahrung der Schöp- fung. All dies können wir nur gemeinsam mit unseren europäischen Partnern erreichen und dauerhaft sichern, im Interesse Deutschlands und Europas!
