  • Mr Josep Borrell Vice-President of the European Commission High Representative of the Union for the CFSP Rue De La Loi 170 1000 Brussels
    Mr Josep Borrell Vice-President of the European Commission High Representative of the Union for the CFSP Rue de la Loi 170 1000 Brussels Brussels, 16th April 2021 Dear Mr. High Representative; Mr Vice-President of the Commission: A delegation from the illegitimate National Assembly of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which emerged from the electoral farce organised on 6th December 2020 by the regime of Nicolás Maduro, recently paid a visit to Brussels and was officially received by the institution you lead. According to a statement you made on behalf of the European Union on 6th December, this spurious process took place in the absence of electoral conditions that could have guaranteed its credibility, without any respect for political pluralism, and in an atmosphere of persecution and disqualification of democratic leaders whose legitimate rights were curtailed. Your statement concludes that such circumstances could not consider this process credible, inclusive, and transparent and therefore the results did not represent the will of the Venezuelan people. That initial statement was confirmed on 6 January of this year by a new declaration, in similar terms to those expressed on 6 December, and by the conclusions of the Foreign Affairs Council of 25 January. These reiterated the lack of recognition of the electoral process and regretted the behaviour of the authorities of the Maduro regime, whose actions are preventing a solution to the serious crisis in Venezuela. We were surprised and gravely concerned to learn that on 14th April, at your request, senior officials of the European External Action Service received the aforementioned delegation, comprising Iris Varela, Pedro Carreño and Desirée Santos Amaral, at the EEAS headquarters.

  • EU Urban Agenda at the Urban Forum “Cities
    April 2014 - 13th issue NEWSLETTERhttp://urban-intergroup.eu ear partners, dear colleagues, this 13th newsletter of the URBAN “DIntergroup is the last one of this term. I was very pleased to chair the UR- BAN Intergroup over the last five years. I think that we should be proud of what we have achieved together during this half a decade. All along this term, we welcomed in our Intergroup MEPs from most of EU Mem- ber States, all political groups and almost all committees. We also got support from new partners – culminating at 83 – from local, regional, national and European level that represent the interests of Europe’s town and cities or work in the domain relevant for urban development.” Jan Olbrycht President of the URBAN Intergroup ver the past five years, we organised no less than 27 conferences and over 30 “Omeetings, concerning issues such as transports, housing, biodiversity, culture, sustainable development or urban planning. Members of the URBAN Intergroup fol- lowed closely what was happening in their respective committees in the European Parliament. They reported on latest developments and defended urban related issues in various fields. Moreover, our members and partners were deeply involved in the negotiations of the EU post 2013 cohesion policy, especially concerning the urban ele- ments in the structural funds’ regulations. Finally, we are very proud to have initiated two preparatory actions: “RURBAN”, which aimed at improving urban-rural partner- ships, and “World cities: EU-third countries cooperation on urban development”, cur- rently still under preparation. We also followed closely the symbolic change of name of the Directorate-General for Regional Policy (DG REGIO) and welcomed the addition of “Urban Policy”.

  • Power Ranking of Meps in the Agricultural Committee of the European Parliament
    Who has the critical vote? Power ranking of MEPs in the Agricultural Committee of the European Parliament A. Kovacs¹; I. Fertő²; L. Kóczy²; B. Sziklai²; A.A. Nás² 1: Tec de Monterrey, Department of International Business, Mexico, 2: Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Economics, Hungary Corresponding author email: [email protected] Abstract: We analyze the voting power of the members of the agricultural committee of the European Parliament using a spatial Banzhaf power index. Using a novel dataset of roll-call votes in the current EP-term, we identify critical members whose votes are necessary to form winning coalitions. We found that committee members with formal positions, EP group coordinators as well as German, French, Italian and British members are powerful actors. Nevertheless, rapporteurs are not necessarily influential. We also concluded that members with moderate ideological position but from Member States with extreme agricultural importance are the most powerful ones.

  • 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.

One of Havel’s key principles was civic engagement based on a sense of responsibility for the future of one’s society and country. As a convinced European, he stressed the need to maintain the connection between the state and its institutions, and its people. For him politics was an ongoing, deeply meaningful dialogue comparable to a theatre piece. The conference entitled “Strengthening Democracy in the EU Neighbourhood: Integration as an Effective Leverage?” aims to contribute to EU endeavours to promote democracy and fundamen- tal rights with special focus on EU neighbours. The event is held under the auspices of Věra Jourová, EU Commissioner for Justice, Consumers and Gender Equality, and Pavel Svoboda, Member of European Parliament, EPP. 17:45 Registration 18:00 Opening of the Conference: Pavel Svoboda, Member of European Parliament, EPP Jakub Dürr, Permanent Representative of the Czech Republic to the EU Jaroslav Kurfürst, Ambassador of the Czech Republic to the Kingdom of Belgium Moderator of the Discussion: Michael Žantovský, Executive Director of the Václav Havel Library 18:15 First Panel: The EU’s Transformative Power: Is the Dream Fading Away?

    European Parliament 2014-2019 Committee on Budgets 2017/0351(COD) 20.6.2018 OPINION of the Committee on Budgets for the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on establishing a framework for interoperability between EU information systems (borders and visa) and amending Council Decision 2004/512/EC, Regulation (EC) No 767/2008, Council Decision 2008/633/JHA, Regulation (EU) 2016/399 and Regulation (EU) 2017/2226 (COM(2017)0793 – C8-0002/2018 – 2017/0351(COD)) Rapporteur for opinion: Bernd Kölmel AD\1156513EN.docx PE616.791v02-00 EN United in diversity EN PA_Legam PE616.791v02-00 2/9 AD\1156513EN.docx EN SHORT JUSTIFICATION The rapporteur welcomes the two Commission proposals for a regulation for establishing a framework for interoperability between EU information systems adopted on 12 December 2017. Both proposals aim at overcoming structural shortcomings in the present EU information management architecture by making information systems interoperable, i.e. able to exchange data and share information. The rapporteur fully subscribes to their purpose, which is to ensure fast access to information, including by law enforcement authorities, to detect multiple identities and combat identity fraud, to facilitate identity checks of third- country nationals and to facilitate the prevention, investigation or prosecution of serious crime and terrorism. The present opinion concerns the proposal on borders and visa, which aims to regulate access to the Visa Information System, the Schengen Information System as currently regulated by Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006, the Entry-Exit System (EES) and the European Travel information and Authorisation System (ETIAS).
