P and E questions are translated by Parliament into the 11 ‘old’ languages and into the author’s language if it is one of the 2004 and 2007 enlargement languages. As regards answers to questions, the situation is more complicated: — answers prepared by the Commission are supplied only in the author’s language and in either EN or FR, as requested; — the Council gives answers only in the 11 EU official languages of the period before 2004. In the light of this situation, readers seeking details of the substance of questions and answers should go to Parliament’s website (Europarl) and, more specifically, the ‘Parliamentary questions’ heading: http:/www. europarl.eu.int/QP-WEB/home.jsp. Should the language version the reader is seeking not be available, Europarl will propose an alternative.

In the United Kingdom, the election for the country’s 73 Members of the European Parliament will be held on Thursday 22 May 2014. The elections come at a crucial junction for UK-EU relations, and are likely to have far-reaching consequences for the UK’s relationship with the rest of Europe: a surge in support for the UK Independence Party (UKIP) could lead to a Britain that is increasingly dis-engaged from the EU policy-making process. In parallel, the current UK Government is also conducting a review of the EU’s powers and Prime Minister David Cameron has repeatedly pushed for a ‘repatriation’ of powers from the European to the national level. These long-term political developments aside, the elections will also have more direct and tangible consequences.

  • Historische Niederlage Für Labour
    LÄNDERBERICHT Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung e.V. GROSSBRITANNIEN THOMAS BERND STEHLING Historische Niederlage für 8. Juni 2009 Labour www.kas.de www.kas.de/london Nach den schweren Verlusten bei den Kommunalwahlen und dem öffentlich vorgeführten Zerfall der Labour Party haben die britischen Wähler die Partei von Premierminister Brown bei den Wahlen zum Europäischen Parlament erneut in einer Weise abgestraft, die selbst die grössten Pessimisten unter den verbliebenen Anhängern nicht für möglich gehalten hätten. Nach nur 23% bei den Teilkommunalwahlen am vergangenen Donnerstag stimmten bei den zeitgleich durchgeführten Europawahlen nur noch 15,3% für Labour. Das Wort „Desaster“ war von Regierungsmitgliedern schon für den Fall vorgesehen worden, dass Labour einen Stimmenanteil von rund 20% erhalten würde. Für das tatsächliche Abschneiden fehlen im Vokabular die Begriffe. Nach dem bisherigen Auszählungsstand für die insgesamt 72 britischen Sitze im Europaparlament (sechs weniger als 2004) lag die Wahlbeteiligung bei rund 39%. Ganz offensichtlich profitierten davon die extremen Parteien am rechten Rand besonders. „Historisch“, weil bislang einmalig, ist der Gewinn der Konservativen in Wales. Labour hatte dort letztmals 1918, damals durch die Liberaldemokraten, eine Niederlage hinnehmen müssen. In Schottland hat Labour erstmals bei nationalen Wahlen die Mehrheit an die Scottish National Party (SNP) verloren. Im Südosten Englands ist Labour auf den fünften Platz, noch nach den Grünen, gerutscht, im Südwesten hat die Partei ihr einziges Mandat verloren. Erstmals zieht die ausländerfeindliche British National Party mit zwei Mandaten in das Europäische Parlament. Sie profitiert in den alten Stammgebieten von Labour im Nordwesten und in Yorkshire von der Unzufriedenheit über wachsende Arbeitslosigkeit, die Einwanderungspolitik und die Entfernung der Labour Party von ihrer traditionellen Klientel.

  • European Parliament Elections 2009 RESEARCH PAPER 09/53 17 June 2009
    European Parliament Elections 2009 RESEARCH PAPER 09/53 17 June 2009 Elections to the European Parliament were held across the 27 states of the European Union between 4 and 7 June 2009. The UK elections were held concurrently with the county council elections in England on 4 June. The UK now has 72 MEPs, down from 78 at the last election, distributed between 12 regions. The Conservatives won 25 seats, both UKIP and Labour 13 and the Liberal Democrats 11. The Green Party held their two seats, while the BNP won their first two seats in the European parliament. Labour lost five seats compared with the comparative pre-election position. The Conservatives won the popular vote overall, and every region in Great Britain except the North East, where Labour won, and Scotland, where the SNP won. UKIP won more votes than Labour. UK turnout was 34.5%. Across Europe, centre-right parties, whether in power or opposition, tended to perform better than those on the centre-left. The exact political balance of the new Parliament depends on the formation of Groups. The UK was not alone in seeing gains for far-right and nationalistic parties. Turnout across the EU was 43%. It was particularly low in some of the newer Member States. Part 1 of this paper presents the full results of the UK elections, including regional analysis and local-level data. Part 2 presents summary results of the results across the EU, together with country-level summaries based on data from official national sources.

  • Act Before July 5 to Ban Illegal Timber in the UK and Europe
    “It is very important that people in other countries help us to preserve our forests by not using illegal wood. I would like voters in Europe to support this ban on importing illegal wood as it will serve our children – they will inherit the results.” Alberto Granados, Olancho, Honduras Act before July 5 to ban illegal timber in the UK and Europe: www.progressio.org.ukAct before July 5 to ban illegal timber from the UK and Europe Thank you for downloading this PROactive campaign action sheet and for supporting Progressio’s illegal logging action. The vote is on July 5, so there’s not much time to get our voices heard.

This is our chance and it is vital that we take it. Included on this sheet is everything you’ll need to tell our politicians we don’t want illegal timber in the UK or Europe: A short text for your church bulletin or to email around A general intercession for Sunday Mass on June 27 and July 4 A suggested text to write a letter to MEPs A list of MEPs by region A poster to print and display in a prominent place is included on the front of this pack Short text: You can use the following text in your church bulletin or personal emails to spread the word: Illegal logging is a disaster for poor communities.

  • EU Draft Tobacco Products Directive: Who to Write to and What to Say (A Short Guide)
    EU draft Tobacco Products Directive: who to write to and what to say (a short guide) The European Commission has published a draft directive on tobacco products. Unfortunately it bans and obstructs much lower-risk alternative to cigarettes, such as smokeless tobacco and e-cigarettes, so its effect would to protect cigarettes and harm health. However, it is not too late to do something about it. 1. What has happened? On 19th December 2012, the EU produced a proposal for new laws controlling tobacco and nicotine products like e-cigarettes. Theproposal includes a justification for the measures with draft legal text and comes with supporting documentation. It covers a wide range of issues, including: labelling and warnings on cigarette packs; branding restrictions; control of flavours and additives; tracking and tracing to prevent smuggling and counterfeiting; and measures that apply to smokeless tobacco products and nicotine-containing products like e-cigarettes. The proposed directive contains measures that could make it harder or impossible for smokers to switch from cigarettes to much less dangerous nicotine products – an approach that will cause more death and disease than it prevents. If you smoke, use e-cigarettes, or if have friends or relatives that smoke, or if you are concerned about the health damage from smoking, then this directive matters to you. If you want to write to your MP or MEPs, the main information you need together with my advice is set out below. More detailed briefing on the directive is available here and on influencing the scrutiny process is here. A good political article on the directive here and letter here.
