  • 16Th of December 2020 Dear Vice-President Schinas, Dear
    16th of December 2020 Dear Vice-President Schinas, Dear Commissioner Johansson, Last September we reported to you about the dramatic situation of migrants and refugees and the local population on the island of Lesvos after the fire in the Moria camp. In the letter we sent you, we already warned you about the inhuman conditions in the new Kara Tepe camp: no access to water or electricity, no proper sanitation, no medication or the possibility of implementing Covid19 prevention measures. We also denounced the unacceptable treatment of people who were covid-positive, locked behind a fence but without adequate hygiene measures. Two months ago we said that the site did not have the environmental and geographical conditions to give shelter to these people: that it was exposed to wind, humidity and cold. At that time, the justification of the European Union and the Greek government was that the urgent and sudden nature of the accident had forced the establishment of the new camp in record time, even though we had already warned that this justification was not valid. It was only a matter of time before such a tragedy occurred. It is in this context that we again denounce with great sorrow the situation in which the Kara Tepe camp finds itself. After the fire, the Commission rushed to say that there would be no more Morias. But the truth is that the conditions in which they find themselves are even worse despite the colossal amounts of money supposedly spent on works for this “temporary” camp. Hence, more than 8,000 people living in tents in Kara Tepe are exposed to inhuman conditions and, on top of it all, this week they have been flooded.

  • COMMON STATEMENT on the US-EU WINE TRADE RELATIONSHIP June 14, 2021
    COMMON STATEMENT ON THE US-EU WINE TRADE RELATIONSHIP June 14, 2021 The EU and the US wine sectors play a critical role in supporting a vibrant transatlantic trade relationship. This sector is an essential driving force for many rural economies and for a significant number of medium and small enterprises. The undersigned deeply regret that the wine sector, as a notable industry in our two economies is sometimes caught in the crosshairs of unrelated trade disputes, causing economic damage to producers, and putting the millions of jobs that they support at risk. Consumers are also victims of those trading conflicts, which can lead to higher prices and reduced consumer choice. We urge the European Union and the US to resolve current trade disputes, to stop any related retaliatory action against wine exports, and to strengthen their bilateral partnership in order to avoid any sanctions against those sectors, including in the context of the current World Trade Organization Large Civil Aircraft Airbus-Boeing disputes. As legislators and policy makers on both sides of the Atlantic, we acknowledge the importance and benefits of strengthening this bilateral partnership. Both the U.S. and the EU are each other’s largest export markets, with the total wine trade reaching more than $5.3 billion (€4.5 billion) annually, creating jobs and investment and supporting sustainable agriculture on both sides of the Atlantic. We ask our governments to further support the economic vitality and diversity of our wine sectors by working to remove all tariffs on wine to achieve a “zero for zero” wine trade environment.

  • RE: Release of Hirak Rif Prisoners During Public Health Crisis
    Brussels, 4 September 2020 Miguel Urbán Crespo European Parliament Bât. Willy Brandt 60, rue Wiertz / Wiertzstraat 60 B-1047 Bruxelles/Brussel [email protected] Head of Government of the Kingdom of Morocco Mr Saad-Eddine El Othmani Head of Mission of the Kingdom of Morocco to the President of the National Human Rights Council European Union Ms Amina Bouayach Mr Ahmed Rahhou RE: release of Hirak Rif prisoners during public health crisis To the Head of Government of the Kingdom of Morocco, Mr Saad-Eddine El Othmani, We write to you in a spirit of solidarity in these difficult times. As Members of the European Parliament, we reiterate our concerns regarding the situation of the Hirak Rif political prisoners in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many remain in closed, densely crowded prisons where they are at acute risk of contamination and commonly lack adequate access to healthcare. Furthermore, the physical condition of several Hirak Rif prisoners is severely weakened by intermittent hunger strikes. We remain particularly concerned about the health situation of Nabil Ahamjik and Nasser Zefzafi, who are detained in isolation modules and have been on hunger strike since 14 August; Mohamed Haki, Bilal Ahabad and Zakaria Adahchour, who are also on hunger strike; Achraf Moudid, whose health situation is complicated by a recent suicide attempt; Wassim Bousttati, who is in urgent need of surgery for his heart condition; and Mohamed Jelloul, who is detained in isolation. We therefore call on you, as Head of the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco, to prioritise humanitarian considerations and release all Hirak political prisoners in accordance with the recommendations made by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and the repeated calls by the Freedom and Human Rights Organisation.

  • Hon. Mr President of the European Parliament, Dear David Sassoli
    Hon. Mr President of the European Parliament, Dear David Sassoli, Since March, when the outbreak of COVID-19 intensified in Europe, the functioning of the European Parliament (EP) has changed dramatically, due to the sanitary measures applied. We understand the inevitability of the contingency plan, taking into account the need to prevent infection and the spread of the virus and to protect the health and lives of people. Six months later, the functioning of the EP is gradually returning to normal. However, there are services whose unavailability seriously impairs parliamentary work, namely the interpretation service. The European Union (EU) has 24 official languages and all deserve the same respect and treatment. We recognize that the number of languages available in committee meeting rooms has been increasing, but even so, more than half of the languages still have no interpretation. Multilingualism is a right enshrined in the Treaties that allows Members to express themselves in their own language. Now, that is not happening and we are concerned that the situation will continue, even taking into account the expected workflow in the commissions after these atypical six months. In this sense, we appeal, once again, to you, the President of the EP for the application of the letter and the spirit of the principle of multilingualism, finding solutions that respect this principle and that allow the use of any of the 24 official languages of the EU. The expression of each deputy in her/his own language is a priority so that there can be conditions to fully exercise the mandate for which she/he was elected and a condition of respect for the citizens who elected her/him.

    To the attention of Ms. Stella Kyriakides European Commissioner for Health and Food Safety European Commission Rue de la Loi 200 B -1049 Brussels, Belgium Cc: Prof. Guido Rasi, Executive Director European Medicines Agency Dr. Andrea Ammon, Director European Centre for Disease Prevention COVID-19 Clinical Management Support System, Directorate General For Health and Food Safety Brussels, 7 May 2020 Subject: Strengthening the collaboration at EU level in managing the COVID-19 outbreak and its consequences across Europe Dear Commissioner Kyriakides, Together with the undersigned Honourable Members of the European Parliament, the European Society of Anaesthesiology (ESA) would like to congratulate the measures undertaken by the European Commission, under your lead, to manage the COVID-19 outbreak and, furthermore, share our joint recommendations to ensure a strong recovery strategy for Europe. Above all, the COVID-19 crisis has shown the importance of joint European action. While the EU Member States now understand that cooperation and solidarity are the only way to overcome this crisis, some resource challenges persist. In particular, the emergency has demonstrated the significance of better equipping intensive care units to adequately respond to rapid pressures on healthcare systems and guarantee the best healthcare outcomes for all patients in need. Building on the recommendations outlined in the Joint Motion for a Resolution (P9_TA(2020)0054) on EU coordinated action to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences, it is vital to develop a European health response mechanism that encompasses a EU coordinated intensive care strategy that will oversee the supply of drugs, diagnostic tests, and medical and technological equipment.

  • Ms Mairead Mcguinness European Commissioner for Financial Services, Financial Stability and the Capital Markets Union Mr
    TO: Ms Mairead McGuinness European Commissioner for Financial Services, Financial Stability and the Capital Markets Union Mr Valdis Dombrovskis European Commission Executive Vice-President for An Economy that Works for People CC: Mr Frans Timmermans European Commission Executive Vice-President for the European Green Deal Ms Kadri Simson European Commissioner for Energy Brussels, 13 April 2021 Dear Executive Vice-President Dombrovskis, Dear Commissioner McGuinness, We are convinced that the Taxonomy Regulation is crucial for the European Union to achieve both the new greenhouse gas emissions reduction target for 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050. Additionally, the Regulation should help strengthening the European Union’s strategic resilience and global economic competitiveness, maintaining its energy security and affordability, boosting growth and job creation and supporting a just and inclusive energy transition that leaves nobody behind. However, to what extent the Taxonomy Regulation will ultimately meet these expectations depends primarily on the technical screening criteria (TSC) defined in the Delegated Act on climate change mitigation and adaptation. We understand the European Commission will publish it later this month, whereupon the European Parliament may make full use of its scrutinizing prerogatives under Article 290 TFEU. In advance of its publication, we would like to share with you some of our major concerns regarding the revised draft version of this delegated act. Firstly, it is indispensable that the Taxonomy Regulation takes into account transition at the energy system level and supports the most cost-efficient decarbonisation pathway for each Member State in line with the principle of technology neutrality. In this context, it is key to acknowledge the role of gaseous fuels.
