  • Dear President of the European Parliament, Dear President of The
    Dear President of the European Parliament, Dear President of the European Council, Dear President of the European Commission and Dear President of the French Republic, We all have a responsibility for the shared future of Europe. In this time of crisis, it is high time to re-evaluate some of the rules we have upheld till now and focus on the most important aspects of the European project, which will help us move forward. An unprecedented health crisis is currently affecting millions of people in Europe and tragically taking thousands of lives. However, this is not the end. The economic crisis will crush the hopes and dreams of generations of Europeans. We sincerely hope that we will all do whatever is in our power not to leave anyone behind. We firmly believe that the European Parliament needs to take on its responsibility and share the burden since it is the highest European directly elected body. We need to be part of the solution, not part of the problem. If we want the people to have confidence and trust in the European project, we need to show them that we are also ready to make concessions. Therefore, we would like to ask you to do everything in your power to change the treaties in order to have just a single seat of the Parliament in Brussels. This call has again gained a large majority of support in the 2018 Parliament discharge resolution adopted on 13 May 2020 and shall now be taken into account and acted upon. The financial and environmental costs of moving the Parliament are, especially in these times of digitally connected Europe, extremely high and hard to justify.

Las gestiones realizadas por su familia para encontrarlo han dado lugar a un interesante trabajo de observación y contraste sobre cómo funcionan a nivel europeo las instituciones que pueden contribuir a resolver este tipo de hechos. Esta experiencia ofrece una serie de conclusiones que pueden mejorar las expectativas de localización de las cerca de 10 000 desapariciones que no se esclarecen en Europa cada año. Mejorar la coordinación de las policías en el seno de los Estados miembros a nivel transfronterizo e interestatal, mejorar las bases de datos de personas desaparecidas y los protocolos de acceso a las mismas, activar las previsiones de atención a las víctimas especialmente el acceso a las diligencias, la interlocución con la policía y la asistencia personal (traducción, alojamiento), mejorar las posibilidades de seguimiento de las pesquisas, etc., son algunos de los aspectos por mejorar. 1. ¿Cómo valora la Comisión la cifra anual de desapariciones sin esclarecer en Europa? 2. ¿En el ámbito del tercer pilar hay en marcha algún trabajo para revisar estos protocolos de coordinación entre Estados en casos de desapariciones? ¿Se realiza algún trabajo de prevención sobre los colectivos más vulnerables? 3.

  • Mr Josep Borrell Fontelles HR / VP of the European Commission [email protected] [email protected]
    Mr Josep Borrell Fontelles HR / VP of the European Commission [email protected] [email protected] Brussels, 13 May 2020 Dear High Representative and Vice-President Borrell, Censorship of the joint Op-Ed marking the 45th anniversary of EU–China relations on May 6 in the China Daily With this letter we would like to express our concerns about the way in which the EEAS is engaging with its Chinese counterparts and dealing with diplomatic pressure from Chinese official authorities. During our last exchange of views in the AFET Committee on April 30, you firmly reassured the Members of the Parliament that the EU would never bow to pressure coming from Chinese channels to censor our publications. Regrettably, we must however conclude that one week later the EEAS did exactly do that by watering down a joint Op-Ed marking the 45th anniversary of EU–China relations. After pressure from Chinese authorities, the Op-Ed was published on the 6th of May in the China Daily without the reference to the origins of the coronavirus. You will agree with us, that it is most unfortunate that this happened just few days following the World Press Freedom Day on the 3rd of May. The EEAS press release on May 8 attempts to justify the decision to proceed with the censored publication on the ground of the necessity to reach out to the wider Chinese public by passing key messages on a number of priority areas. We certainly recognise the strategical importance of engaging with China and its people.

  • 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.

  • Mr Josep Borell High Representative and Vice-President of the European Commission
    Mr Josep Borell High Representative and Vice-President of the European Commission [email protected] Brussels, 23 April 2020 Dear High Representative, dear Mr. Borrell, Official EU condemnation of arrests in Hong Kong and request for information on missing Corona whistleblowers in China Three urgent matters make us write this letter to you. Firstly, we urge you to issue a strong condemnation of the arrests of the fifteen opposition leaders in Hong Kong. China and the authorities in Hong Kong seem to use the Covid-19 crisis to crackdown on the opposition and pro-democracy movement. The United States, the UK and Australia have already condemned the arrests, but the European Union has not yet given any formal reaction so far. The Hong Kong police arrested these pro-democracy activists accusing them of organising and participating in unlawful protests. These arrests followed months of massive protests, in which millions participated to express their dissatisfaction with China’s moves to control Hong Kong’s internal affairs. The arrests seem to be an attempt to intimidate and weaken the pro-democracy forces ahead of the elections in September. With the global attention focused on containing the Corona virus, China is using this crisis to crush the democratic movement in Hong Kong. These political prosecutions are in clear violation of universal human rights and are not only an attack on Hong Kong’s freedoms, but also on the international rules- based order. We believe it is of the utmost importance that the European Union sends a very strong and clear message to the Chinese and Hong Kong authorities that such actions are unacceptable.
