  • A Look at the New European Parliament Page 1 INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMITTEE (INTA)
    THE NEW EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT KEY COMMITTEE COMPOSITION 31 JULY 2019 INTRODUCTION After several marathon sessions, the European Council agreed on the line-up for the EU “top jobs” on 2 July 2019. The deal, which notably saw German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen (CDU, EPP) surprisingly designated as the next European Commission (EC) President, meant that the European Parliament (EP) could proceed with the election of its own leadership on 3 July. The EPP and Renew Europe (formerly ALDE) groups, in line with the agreement, did not present candidates for the EP President. As such, the vote pitted the S&D’s David-Maria Sassoli (IT) against two former Spitzenkandidaten – Ska Keller (DE) of the Greens and Jan Zahradil (CZ) of the ACRE/ECR, alongside placeholder candidate Sira Rego (ES) of GUE. Sassoli was elected President for the first half of the 2019 – 2024 mandate, while the EPP (presumably EPP Spitzenkandidat Manfred Weber) would take the reins from January 2022. The vote was largely seen as a formality and a demonstration of the three largest Groups’ capacity to govern. However, Zahradil received almost 100 votes (more than the total votes of the ECR group), and Keller received almost twice as many votes as there are Greens/EFA MEPs. This forced a second round in which Sassoli was narrowly elected with just 11 more than the necessary simple majority. Close to 12% of MEPs did not cast a ballot. MEPs also elected 14 Vice-Presidents (VPs): Mairead McGuinness (EPP, IE), Pedro Silva Pereira (S&D, PT), Rainer Wieland (EPP, DE), Katarina Barley (S&D, DE), Othmar Karas (EPP, AT), Ewa Kopacz (EPP, PL), Klara Dobrev (S&D, HU), Dita Charanzová (RE, CZ), Nicola Beer (RE, DE), Lívia Járóka (EPP, HU) and Heidi Hautala (Greens/EFA, FI) were elected in the first ballot, while Marcel Kolaja (Greens/EFA, CZ), Dimitrios Papadimoulis (GUE/NGL, EL) and Fabio Massimo Castaldo (NI, IT) needed the second round.

  • To the President of the European Council to the President of the European Commission to the Chancellor of Germany (German Presidency of the Council of the EU)
    To the President of the European Council To the President of the European Commission To the Chancellor of Germany (German Presidency of the Council of the EU) Mr. Charles Michel Ms. Ursula von der Leyen Ms. Angela Merkel Brussels, 11 September 2020 Subject: The EU must meaningfully address China’s Human Rights atrocities at the EU-China Summit and take strong action Dear President Michel, Dear President Von der Leyen, Dear Chancellor Merkel, We, Members of the European Parliament, are addressing you to express our deep concern about the widespread, serious and ongoing human rights violations occurring in the People’s Republic of China. We call for this issue to be substantively addressed during the upcoming EU-China Summit on September 14th. We have been greatly alarmed by the rapidly deteriorating situation in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China in particular. Over the past three years, there have been credible allegations of mass arbitrary detention of millions of Uyghurs in internment camps, mass sterilization of Uyghur women and efforts to diminish Uyghur births, widespread destruction of mosques, shrines graveyards and other physical manifestations of Uyghur culture, history and identity, efforts to suppress Uyghur language, forced labour and modern slavery, serious religious persecution, separation of children from families and other human rights violations. The scope and gravity of the situation necessitate an urgent and robust response from the European Union. We would also like to draw your attention to serious human rights violations against Tibetans, the impact of the National Security Law in Hong Kong and the deprivation of language rights for ethnic Mongolians in Inner Mongolia, as well as the general crackdown on Chinese democracy, activists and lawyers.

  • Les Républicains Primary: the Runners and Riders As the French Centre-Right Selects Its Presidential Candidate
    Les Républicains primary: The runners and riders as the French centre-right selects its presidential candidate blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2016/09/16/les-republicains-primary/ 16/09/2016 Several French parties, including France’s largest centre-right party, Les Républicains, will select their candidate for the 2017 French presidential election in a primary to be held in November. With the official campaign set to kick-off on 21 September, Marta Lorimer discusses the main contenders and their programmes ahead of the vote. As France’s presidential election approaches, the main French parties are organising primary elections to designate their candidates. While the Socialist Party will not hold its own primary until January, the main centre-right party, Les Républicains (LR), the Parti chrétien-démocrate (PCD, centre) and the Centre National des Indépendants et Paysans (CNIP, right) will be selecting their respective candidate on 20 November (first round) and 27 November (second round). While the contest is open in principle to all centre-right parties and has been billed as the ‘primary of the right and the centre’, the primary failed to gain the consensus of all forces on that side of the spectrum. After failing to find an agreement on the programme, the UDI and Alliance Centriste decided not to present candidates in the primary. The MoDem led by François Bayrou, on its side, has decided to endorse Alain Juppé. However, should the mayor of Bordeaux lose against Sarkozy, Bayrou has declared that he would be running separately in the presidential election. In the months preceding the official closing date for candidacies (9 September), several prominent politicians announced their interest in running in the primary election.
