  • Lettera Sassoli Chiusura Parlamento IT.Pages
    8 marzo 2020 Caro Presidente Sassoli, Ti scriviamo per esprimere la nostra profonda preoccupazione per la diffusione della malattia infettiva causata dal coronavirus COVID-19 in Europa e per richiedere ulte- riori misure di sicurezza per salvaguardare i Membri del Parlamento europeo, il per- sonale e la popolazione locale. Come ben sai, il livello di emergenza legato alla diffusione di questo virus è note- volmente aumentato nel corso delle ultime ore: il numero di casi confermati si sta moltiplicando in molti Stati membri, compreso il Belgio, e sono state confermate nuove aree di contagio. Misure di sicurezza straordinarie sono state adottate dalle autorità pubbliche di tutta Europa e intere aree sono state messe in quarantena. Il numero di casi confermati è in costante aumento in Belgio e a Bruxelles e questa settimana abbiamo riscontrato i primi casi di nuovi coronavirus nelle istituzioni del- l'UE. Sebbene apprezziamo che siano già state adottate misure straordinarie per far fron- te a questa emergenza, riteniamo che la situazione in rapida evoluzione e i maggiori rischi per la salute richiedano ulteriori misure di sicurezza come l'immediata interru- zione di tutti i lavori parlamentari, compresa la prossima sessione plenaria, come misura precauzionale. Il Parlamento europeo, con oltre 5000 persone che vi lavorano e viaggiano regolar- mente tra la loro città natale e Bruxelles, ha il potenziale per diventare un focolaio di trasmissione del coronavirus. Con la presente ti chiediamo di sospendere tutte le attività parlamentari con effetto immediato, fino a quando i rischi per la salute legati alla diffusione del virus saranno sotto controllo.

  • The Impact of Disinformation on Democratic Processes and Human Rights in the World
    STUDY Requested by the DROI subcommittee The impact of disinformation on democratic processes and human rights in the world @Adobe Stock Authors: Carme COLOMINA, Héctor SÁNCHEZ MARGALEF, Richard YOUNGS European Parliament coordinator: Policy Department for External Relations EN Directorate General for External Policies of the Union PE 653.635 - April 2021 DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR EXTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT STUDY The impact of disinformation on democratic processes and human rights in the world ABSTRACT Around the world, disinformation is spreading and becoming a more complex phenomenon based on emerging techniques of deception. Disinformation undermines human rights and many elements of good quality democracy; but counter-disinformation measures can also have a prejudicial impact on human rights and democracy. COVID-19 compounds both these dynamics and has unleashed more intense waves of disinformation, allied to human rights and democracy setbacks. Effective responses to disinformation are needed at multiple levels, including formal laws and regulations, corporate measures and civil society action. While the EU has begun to tackle disinformation in its external actions, it has scope to place greater stress on the human rights dimension of this challenge. In doing so, the EU can draw upon best practice examples from around the world that tackle disinformation through a human rights lens. This study proposes steps the EU can take to build counter-disinformation more seamlessly into its global human rights and democracy policies.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. Identity Federalism in Europe and the United States Vlad Perju ABSTRACT The turn to identity is reshaping federalism. Opposition to the policies of the Trump administration, from the travel ban to sanctuary cities and the rollback of environmental protections, has led progressives to explore more fluid and contingent forms of state identity. Conservatives too have sought to shift federalism away from the jurisdictional focus on limited and enumerated powers and have argued for a revival of the political safeguards of federalism, including state-based identities. This Article draws on comparative law to study identity as a political safeguard of federalism and its transformation from constitutional discourse to interpretative processes and, eventually, constitutional doctrine. The experience of the European Union, where identity federalism also benefits from a textual anchor, reveals some of the complexities of this process.

  • Castaldo-Lupo (M5S): "Su Alitalia Commissione Ue Rischia Di Ledere Interessi Consumatori E Lavoratori"
    Politica - Castaldo-Lupo (M5S): "Su Alitalia Commissione Ue rischia di ledere interessi consumatori e lavoratori" Roma - 06 apr 2021 (Prima Pagina News) "Servono buon senso e imparzialità". "Sulla vicenda Alitalia la Commissione europea sta peccando di superficialità. Con la sua politica da due pesi e due misure rispetto ai diretti concorrenti della compagnia di bandiera italiana, rischia di ledere gli interessi dei consumatori italiani e di migliaia di lavoratori. Questo è inaccettabile, servono buon senso e imparzialità". Lo scrivono, in una nota, il Parlamentare europeo e Vicepresidente dell'Europarlamento Fabio Massimo Castaldo e la Senatrice Giulia Lupo, eletti in quota M5S. "Insieme agli europarlamentari Isabella Adinolfi, Mario Furore, Dino Giarrusso e Daniela Rondinelli depositiamo oggi due interrogazioni alla Commissione europea affinché chiarisca la natura delle sue decisioni", continuano. "Non è chiaro infatti quale normativa comunitaria sta utilizzando per giustificare la sua richiesta di discontinuità per Ita rispetto ad Alitalia e se questa discontinuità possa arrivare fino a definire elementi essenziali quali il perimetro aziendale e la grandezza della flotta. Inoltre - scrive ancora Castaldo - va chiarito come mai agli altri Paesi europei sia stato concesso di apportare un aumento di capitale da parte dell’investitore pubblico, mentre all’Italia si chiede di realizzare un’operazione alle normali condizioni di mercato. Questo comporta una discriminazione, tanto più che è di dubbia certezza giuridica la decisione di impedire all’Italia di mantenere gli slot su Linate che, nell’intenzione della Vicepresidente Vestager, andrebbero ceduti ad altri vettori".

  • Letter to EU Telecom and Trade Ministers and to European Commissioners Thierry Breton, Margrethe Vestager and Valdis Dombrovskis
    Letter to EU telecom and trade ministers and to European Commissioners Thierry Breton, Margrethe Vestager and Valdis Dombrovskis We, the undersigned Members of the European Parliament from five different political groups, share a common concern regarding 5G security in Europe and unfair competition between European and Chinese 5G vendors. Therefore, we send this letter to you in preparation of the upcoming informal TTE Council on 15 October, urging you to take action on the points raised. We have learnt from the COVID-19 crisis that maintaining know-how, capacity and some level of independence in critical sectors, including medical/pharmaceutical, food supplies, and utilities, i.e. energy, water and communications infrastructure is indispensable for our survival. In the area of connectivity, COVID-19 has demonstrated how vital fixed and mobile connectivity is to help fight the crisis and to keep the economy and essential services running to the extent possible. The European Commission has, already pre-crisis, launched a number of initiatives to preserve our security and sovereignty, which today prove to be more relevant than ever before. These include a renewed industrial strategy with digitization and connectivity at its heart, increased funding proposals for connectivity, cyber security and AI, the investment screening framework to avoid harmful foreign take-overs of critical EU businesses, trade policy initiatives promoting reciprocity, and more concretely, the 5G security joint risk assessment and toolbox of mitigating measures. 5G is a central element in Europe’s digital sovereignty and the EU 5G security initiative rightly has the aim of safeguarding the security of 5G as a critical infrastructure for Europe.

    Ursula von der Leyen President of the European Commission B - 1049 Brussels Brussels, 16 May 2020 Dear President, We welcomed your proposals for the tourism compartment, presented on 13 May. The sector has been affected in severe ways by this unexpected crisis, and we need a strong support to help the workers and the families depending by one of the most important economic field in Europe. Nevertheless, we need an additional effort from the Commission in order to prevent any discrimination between Member States. In fact, the “Communication towards a phased and coordinated approach for restoring freedom of movement and lifting internal border controls” (C(2020)3250) states that “Measures to be taken at national level to gradually lift travel restrictions should take into consideration [...] the assessment of approximation of epidemiological situations in the Member States”. That could cause some discrimination, and could also give the possibility to create internal bilateral agreements penalizing some Member States. Of course, we need to keep the health security as priority, and to put in place every measure to control and prevent the spreading of the epidemic, but, at the same time, we need a strong coordination by European Commission to prevent any form of bilateral agreements against the principles of the internal market. Hence, we asks the Commission to block any form of “tourism corridors” between Member States that could affect a fair restoration of the market. Yours sincerely, Mario Furore, Member of European Parliament, Isabella Adinolfi, Member of European Parliament, Tiziana Beghin, Member of European Parliament, Fabio Massimo Castaldo, Member of European Parliament, Ignazio Corrao, Member of European Parliament, Chiara Gemma, Member of European Parliament, Laura Ferrara, Member of European Parliament, B-1047 Bruxelles - Tel +32 2 28 45782 F-67070 Strasburgo - Tel +33 3 88 1 75782 [email protected] - www.europarl.europa.eu .

  • Tiziana Beghin (EFDD), Isabella Adinolfi (EFDD), Dario Tamburrano (EFDD), Marco Affronte (EFDD), Fabio Massimo Castaldo (EFDD) and Eleonora Evi (EFDD) (2 June 2016)
    (English version) Question for written answer E-004588/16 to the Commission Laura Ferrara (EFDD), Tiziana Beghin (EFDD), Isabella Adinolfi (EFDD), Dario Tamburrano (EFDD), Marco Affronte (EFDD), Fabio Massimo Castaldo (EFDD) and Eleonora Evi (EFDD) (2 June 2016) Subject: Halting the slaughter of dogs and cats in ‘perreras’ Under the law applying in most of Spain's autonomous communities, stray and abandoned dogs and cats in ‘perreras’ (animal shelters) may be destroyed only a few days after they have arrived in the shelters. The Spanish Government views euthanasia of healthy animals that could instead be adopted as a means of solving the problem of stray animals and overcrowding in animal shelters — a view that is at odds with Article 13 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, under which animals must be regarded as ‘sentient beings’ and treated as such. While in the shelters, the animals are deprived of care and often also of food and water, and the methods used to kill them are inhumane. With reference to Parliament's resolutions of 4 July 2012 on the establishment of an EU legal framework for the protection of pets and stray animals (2012/2670(RSP)) and 26 November 2015 on a new animal welfare strategy for 2016-2020 (2015/2957(RSP)), can the Commission say whether: — it intends to put an end to this slaughter; — it can put forward a legislative framework that will afford animals, in particular dogs and cats, minimum standards of protection throughout the EU and expressly ban the practice of euthanasia; — the EU intends to take practical steps to protect the lives of dogs, and of pets in general, throughout the Union? Answer given by Mr Andriukaitis on behalf of the Commission (3 August 2016) The matter referred to by the Honourable Members is not governed by EU animal welfare rules, but falls under the sole competence of the Member States.

  • A Look at the New European Parliament Page 1 INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMITTEE (INTA)
    THE NEW EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT KEY COMMITTEE COMPOSITION 31 JULY 2019 INTRODUCTION After several marathon sessions, the European Council agreed on the line-up for the EU “top jobs” on 2 July 2019. The deal, which notably saw German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen (CDU, EPP) surprisingly designated as the next European Commission (EC) President, meant that the European Parliament (EP) could proceed with the election of its own leadership on 3 July. The EPP and Renew Europe (formerly ALDE) groups, in line with the agreement, did not present candidates for the EP President. As such, the vote pitted the S&D’s David-Maria Sassoli (IT) against two former Spitzenkandidaten – Ska Keller (DE) of the Greens and Jan Zahradil (CZ) of the ACRE/ECR, alongside placeholder candidate Sira Rego (ES) of GUE. Sassoli was elected President for the first half of the 2019 – 2024 mandate, while the EPP (presumably EPP Spitzenkandidat Manfred Weber) would take the reins from January 2022. The vote was largely seen as a formality and a demonstration of the three largest Groups’ capacity to govern. However, Zahradil received almost 100 votes (more than the total votes of the ECR group), and Keller received almost twice as many votes as there are Greens/EFA MEPs. This forced a second round in which Sassoli was narrowly elected with just 11 more than the necessary simple majority. Close to 12% of MEPs did not cast a ballot. MEPs also elected 14 Vice-Presidents (VPs): Mairead McGuinness (EPP, IE), Pedro Silva Pereira (S&D, PT), Rainer Wieland (EPP, DE), Katarina Barley (S&D, DE), Othmar Karas (EPP, AT), Ewa Kopacz (EPP, PL), Klara Dobrev (S&D, HU), Dita Charanzová (RE, CZ), Nicola Beer (RE, DE), Lívia Járóka (EPP, HU) and Heidi Hautala (Greens/EFA, FI) were elected in the first ballot, while Marcel Kolaja (Greens/EFA, CZ), Dimitrios Papadimoulis (GUE/NGL, EL) and Fabio Massimo Castaldo (NI, IT) needed the second round.
