  • 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.

  • Conference's Programme
    ‘Working together to address the refugee crisis’ Programme Introduction Five years ago the PES and the GPF launched a series of events to talk about democracy and social justice in the aftermath of the Arab Spring. Today, the situation has changed dramatically. What started in Syria as an uprising against the regime of Bashar Al Assad, has now become a full-fledged war involving a myriad of actors and providing fertile ground for the rise of the Islamic State (IS). Conflicts erupted in Iraq, Yemen, Libya and the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. Tunisia has endured two horrifying terrorist attacks in only a few months’ time, giving an unpredicted blow to the tourism sector, where the country gets most of its revenues. This summer an unprecedented flow of refugees has reached EU's borders, prompting a humanitarian crisis of proportions unseen in post-war Europe. This has led many of our social democratic leaders to call for unity and solidarity in order to find common answers, as the flow of refugees is unlikely to come to an end. This solidarity should start within Europe, but it should also apply to those countries in the Middle East that are carrying the heaviest burden of the refugee crisis. Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan have taken up scores of refugees, putting their already fragile population balance at risk. A recent UN report stated that the number of people uprooted has reached nearly 60 million, an all-time high. The causes and consequences of the current refugee crisis affect us all. Although the Middle East and North Africa is home to just 5% of the world’s population, it has produced more than one-third of its refugees.

  • Uef-Spinelli Group
    UEF-SPINELLI GROUP MANIFESTO 9 MAY 2021 At watershed moments in history, communities need to adapt their institutions to avoid sliding into irreversible decline, thus equipping themselves to govern new circumstances. After the end of the Cold War the European Union, with the creation of the monetary Union, took a first crucial step towards adapting its institutions; but it was unable to agree on a true fiscal and social policy for the Euro. Later, the Lisbon Treaty strengthened the legislative role of the European Parliament, but again failed to create a strong economic and political union in order to complete the Euro. Resulting from that, the EU was not equipped to react effectively to the first major challenges and crises of the XXI century: the financial crash of 2008, the migration flows of 2015- 2016, the rise of national populism, and the 2016 Brexit referendum. This failure also resulted in a strengthening of the role of national governments — as shown, for example, by the current excessive concentration of power within the European Council, whose actions are blocked by opposing national vetoes —, and in the EU’s chronic inability to develop a common foreign policy capable of promoting Europe’s common strategic interests. Now, however, the tune has changed. In the face of an unprecedented public health crisis and the corresponding collapse of its economies, Europe has reacted with unity and resolve, indicating the way forward for the future of European integration: it laid the foundations by starting with an unprecedented common vaccination strategy, for a “Europe of Health”, and unveiled a recovery plan which will be financed by shared borrowing and repaid by revenue from new EU taxes levied on the digital and financial giants and on polluting industries.

  • S&D Group Elects New Bureau and Stands United Behind Gianni Pittella
    S&D Group elects new Bureau and stands united behind Gianni Pittella as S&D candidate for EP president TUTTLIES, Utta 15/12/2016 Share it Following the re-election of Gianni Pittella last week as president of the S&D Group for the second half of the European Parliament mandate, the S&D Group elected its new Bureau yesterday evening in Strasbourg. The S&D Group's Bureau co-ordinates its political activity and is made up of the president, nine vice-presidents and the treasurer. Vice- presidents are in charge of specific EU policy portfolios and supervise cross-committee issues. Two others are responsible for the S&D Group's communications and for the co-ordination of parliamentary affairs. Commenting on the new Bureau, S&D Group president Gianni Pittella said: “In politically turbulent times, it is fundamental to have a strong and efficient team with whom together we can fight for a fairer Europe. “I am proud to be the president of our newly-elected Bureau. This Bureau reflects the values we stand for - a strong representation of women in leading positions, a clear geographical balance between East and West, North and South, as well as a fair representation of small and large member states. “Over the last weeks our group has taken decisive steps and we are now ready for the mid-term review. With a strong and cohesive backing from our group, I will continue my campaign, together with all democratic and pro-European forces, to be elected as next EP president on 17 January 2017.” The new S&D Group Bureau has 11 members, including the S&D Group president Gianni Pittella (MEP Italy), the treasurer Péter Niedermüller (MEP Hungary), and the following nine vice-presidents: 1.

Negli anni '80, tra i due partiti sorge una forte antipatia. 1989-1993 Il crollo del comunismo internazionale costringe il PCI ad aderire alla sinistra europea socialdemocratica (Partito Democratico della Sinistra). Proprio in quegli anni, il PSI veniva spazzato via da Tangentopoli. Gli ex comunisti restano i soli rappresentanti di peso dell'Italia nel PSE. 1996-2001 Formando una alleanza che coinvolge anche il mondo liberaldemocratico e quello cattolico di sinistra, la sinistra italiana riesce ad andare al Governo per la prima volta. Sono anni di grande soddisfazione, ma anche di forti rivalità interne. Intanto, D'Alema cerca di allargare il PDS, fondando i Democratici di Sinistra, ma le performance elettorali restano inchiodate attorno al 16% dei voti.
