  • 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].

  • Time for the European Commission to Legislate on Collective Redress
    Mr Jean-Claude Juncker President of the Commission Mrs Vera Jourová Commissioner The Consumer Voice in Europe European Commission Rue de la Loi 200 B – 1049 Brussels Ref.: BEUC-X-2017-107 10 October 2017 Subject: Time for the European Commission to legislate on collective redress Dear President Juncker, Dear Commissioner Jourová, I write on behalf of BEUC, The European Consumer Organisation, to ask you to propose a binding legislative measure on collective redress. Consumer rights at EU level have come a long way over the last 20 years. However, the inability of consumers to band together to claim their rights when they have suffered detriment is one of the missing pieces of the jigsaw for EU consumers to access justice. As you are aware, Volkswagen has steadfastly refused to compensate consumers in Europe affected by the emissions scandal. This is in stark contrast to their response in the United States, where the threat of class action has proved decisive in delivering compensation for affected consumers. In your State of the Union speech a few days ago, you said that you are “shocked when consumers are knowingly and deliberately misled” and that you “call on the car industry to come clean and make it right”. We know that despite Commissioner Jourova’s efforts, which we appreciate, the company still refuses to put things right. Since the scandal broke over two years ago, VW remains adamant it will not compensate European car owners. It is now in your hands to decide whether in the future European consumers who have been victims of fraud on a large scale, or who have suffered from a trader’s unfair or illegal practices, should have a realistic chance to be compensated.

  • Financial Crimes, Tax Evasion and Tax Avoidance’
    Investment Migration Council (IMC) Position Paper on TAX3 Committee Report ‘Financial Crimes, Tax Evasion and Tax Avoidance’ March 2019 Investment Migration Council (IMC) cautions MEPs against phasing out industry responsible for vital investments Key Ask: IMC calls on MEPs to table a plenary amendment to the TAX3 Committee report supporting better industry standards and regulation and removing references to phasing out the citizenship and residency-by-investment industry The IMC recognise the significance of the European Parliament’s TAX3 Committee report ‘Financial Crimes, Tax Evasion and Tax Avoidance’ in promoting discussion around the Investment Migration sector. Open discussion and scrutiny are the first steps in addressing the public concerns about Investment Migration and improving standards across the board to ensure the risks of abuse are mitigated. However, the IMC opposes the TAX3 Committee’s call for the Investment Migration sector to be phased out since these programmes are responsible for vital investments in EU Member States. The IMC calls on MEPs to table and support a plenary amendment (refer to IMC Proposed Amendments to TAX3 Committee Report.pdf) deleting direct references to banning or phasing out citizenship-by- investment and residency-by-investment programmes, essentially pioneering categories of immigration and instead supporting the implementation of improved standards and possible regulation of the sector. Investment Migration Council, 16 rue Maunoir, 1211 Geneva, Switzerland 1 investmentmigration.org European Commission Joint Transparency Register Secretariat ID: 337639131420-09 Investment Migration is a €20 billion industry responsible for significant investment, job creation and societal development Investment Migration accounts for billions of direct and indirect revenues in some smaller European states, as noted by the International Monetary Fund in its 2015 publication “A Passport of Convenience” as well as individual annual Country Reports.

The committee raised concerns that across the EU, persons with disabilities still live in institutions rather than in their local communities, while one of the main purposes of the CRPD, envisaged in Articles 1 and 19, is to guarantee all persons with disabilities the right to live independently. The committee noted that the European Structural and Investment Funds continue to be used in Member States to maintain residential institutions or to invest in new residential settings that remain institutional in their way of functioning. The committee recommended that the EU stop allowing such investments to continue and instead invest ambitiously in the deinstitutionalisation process. In the light of the above: 1. What concrete steps has the Commission taken to suspend, withdraw or recover payments used for the expansion or redevelopment of institutional care? 2.

  • Green Recovery Call to Action & Signatories 121
    GREENRECOVERY REBOOT & REBOOST our economies for a sustainable future Call for mobilisation The coronavirus crisis is shaking the whole world, with devastating consequences across Europe. We are being put to the test. We are suffering and mourning our losses, and this crisis is testing the limits of our system. It is also a test of our great European solidarity and of our institutions, which acted fast at the start of the crisis to deploy measures to protect us. The crisis is still ongoing, but we will see the light at the end of the tunnel, and by fighting together, we will beat the virus. Never have we faced such a challenging situation in peacetime. The fight against the pandemic is our top priority and everything that is needed to stop it and eradicate the virus must be done. We welcome and strongly support all the actions developed by governments, EU institutions, local authorities, scientists, medical staff, volunteers, citizens and economic actors. In this tremendously difficult situation, we are also facing another crisis: a shock to our economy tougher than the 2008 crisis. The major shock to the economy and workers created by the pandemic calls for a strong coordinated economic response. We therefore welcome the declaration of European leaders stating that they will do “whatever it takes” to tackle the social and economic consequences of this crisis. However, what worked for the 2008 financial crisis may not be sufficient to overcome this one. The economic recovery will only come with massive investments to protect and create jobs and to support all the companies, regions and sectors that have suffered from the economy coming to a sudden halt.
