Médiamètre politique RTBF-Auxipress Février 2013 Ministres, secrétaires d’Etat et Présidents de parti Médiamètre politique RTBF-Auxipress Février 2013 Commentaires Bart De Wever revient petit à petit mais sûrement aux devants des médias. Au mois de janvier, il était 2ème loin derrière Di Rupo, le médiamètre du mois de février révèle-t-il plus? Le taux d’occupation des médias d’Elio Di Rupo chute de façon spectaculaire puisqu’en janvier, il dépassait en effet les 12% et qu’au mois de février, il atteint 7,9%. Bart De Wever se maintient en 2ème place, perd beaucoup moins en visibilité que Di Rupo aussi mais dépasse le Premier Ministre dans la presse écrite. Didier Reynders monte sur la 3ème place du podium alors que Kris Peeters est relégué en 8ème place, ce que l’on peut considérer comme un très mauvais score si on analyse sa présence médiatique sur les 3 dernières années. Quelles sont les surprises de ce mois de février? Paul Magnette est toujours dans le top 10 malgré sa sortie du gouvernement fédéral. Il faut dire qu’il a repris la Présidence du PS et que, dans ce registre, il est sans aucun doute plus présent médiatiquement que son prédécesseur Thierry Giet. Il faut également souligné son implication médiatique dans l’annonce des licenciements chez Caterpillar. Hendrik Bogaert, secrétaire d’Etat à la fonction publique, pointe en 9ème place en raison de la fronde des syndicats fâchés de sa politique qui prône la réduction des effectifs et des moyens dans les services publics. Jean-Marc Nollet, Vice-Président et Ministre du développement durable du gouvernement wallon, pointe en 14ème place, secoué par la cacophonie en matière de politique énergétique wallonne. -

In this context, substate international economic law; governments, like Quebec and Wallonia, are aware that their ability to inclusion and exclusion; formulate and implement policy, are subject to negotiations in trade Quebec; Wallonia; CETA negotiations talks. This article compares the role of Quebec and Wallonia in the CETA negotiations. While Wallonia was able to force the inclusion of an interpretative legal instrument to clarify certain parts of CETA, Quebec, like the other Canadian provinces, was able to influence the negotiation from within. -
The State of EU Studies in France », in Federiga Bindi the STATE of EU STUDIES in FRANCE and Kjell A
OLIVIER COSTA Olivier Costa, « The state of EU studies in France », in Federiga Bindi THE STATE OF EU STUDIES IN FRANCE and Kjell A. Eliassen (ed.), Analyzing European Union Politics, Rome, Il Mulino, 2012, p. 195‐218. France is one of the founding members of the European Communities. It has played an active role in the definition of the Manuscript completed in May 2011 Community method. French lawyers have soon devoted much attention to European integration, since some were closely involved in the drafting of the treaties. Economists have also taken this phenomenon seriously at an early stage. On the contrary, for a long time, French political scientists paid little attention to Europe. In the 1980s, European studies were less developed in France than in the French speaking parts of Belgium, Switzerland or even Canada. Since the end of the 1990s, things have evolved significantly: today many French political scientists are working on EU matters and a significant number of them are defining themselves as EU specialists. However, the involvement of French scholars in the international debates remains quite limited and the landscape of French EU studies keeps its originality. It may seem artificial to underline this French specificity since some of the most prominent EU researchers in France appear to be Austrian (Sabine Saurugger), Belgian (Renaud Dehousse), English (Andy Smith), German/Argentinean (Emiliano Grossman) or Finish (Niilo Kauppi). Also, many French scholars have made their academic education outside France, like Virginie Guiraudon (Harvard) or Nicolas Jabko (Berkeley), or are still holding positions outside France, in EUI Florence (Yves Mény, Pascal Vénesson), the LSE (Michael Bruter), Princeton (Sophie Meunier), Université libre de Bruxelles/ULB (François Forêt, Jean-Marc Ferry, Amandine Crespy) or Copenhagen Business School (Magali Gravier). -

2015 Belgium Country Report | SGI Sustainable Governance Indicators
Sustainable Governance Indicators SGI 2015 Belgium Report Micael Castanheira, Benoît Rihoux, Nils C. Bandelow (Coordinator) SGI 2015 | 2 Belgium Report Executive Summary Belgium, located in the heart of Europe, is a small country with 11.1 million inhabitants. In 2013, its gross domestic product (GDP) was €395 billion at market prices (i.e. 14.5% above the 2007 pre-crisis level of €345 billion; data from the Belgian National Bank). Belgium has shown itself to be one of the good performers in the euro area in recent years. According to Eurostat data, Belgium’s purchasing power per capita is about 10.2% above the euro area average, and 19% above the EU28 average. Belgium also boasts an extremely open economy, with the sum of imports and exports amounting to 170% of GDP; the country’s trade balance is slightly positive. The unemployment rate was 8.5% in September 2014, which is below the euro area average (11.5%). Belgium is thus economically rather healthy, although not among the best performing economies of the EU. It boasts a highly educated population, attracts substantial foreign direct investment, maintains high-quality hospitals, has a healthy housing market (i.e. it did not crash during the financial crisis, but recent estimates still suggest some overvaluation of the market) and overall manages a well-performing economy. With its comprehensive road, rail, water and information technology networks, in addition to its world-class harbors, Belgium provides direct access to and from the rest of the world into Europe. Its openness in terms of trade and high reliance on exports implies that Belgian companies must remain competitive or face losing their market position. -
Schulz on His Meetings with Chrystia Freeland and Paul Magnette
European Parliament President Martin Schulz Schulz on his meetings with Chrystia Freeland and Paul Magnette Press Release Internal Policies and EU Institutions Brussels 22-10-2016 “I had two separate very constructive and fruitful meetings this morning in the European Parliament with Chrystia Freeland, the federal Minister of International Trade of Canada and with Paul Magnette, the Minister-President of Wallonia on the issue of CETA These meetings give me much reason for optimism about the positive conclusion of CETA as soon as possible. During my Martin Schulz © European Union 2014 - European meeting with Minister Freeland, it was clear Parliament. (Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs that the negotiations between Canada and the Creative Commons license) EU are now closed and that Canada remains absolutely keen to sign CETA at the earliest possible date. The few remaining issues which stand in the way of the adoption of CETA are for us Europeans to solve. My meeting with Minister-President Magnette, to which the Commission’s services were also associated - and for whose support I am grateful, confirmed that none of the stumbling blocks on the way of CETA’s adoption by Belgium are insurmountable. The contrary is true: this morning’s meeting already set out the next steps needed to give further clarity and legal certainty to meet the concerns raised by the Walloon Parliament and which are shared by many citizens in Europe. I am convinced that, by fully addressing the last remaining concerns, we can turn the apparent European division on CETA of the last weeks into a victory for every participant to the agreement.” For further information: [email protected] Giacomo Fassina Spokesman +32 498 98 33 10 Schulz on his meetings with Chrystia Freeland and Paul Magnette 1/1. -
The European Convention: Bargaining in the Shadow of Rhetoric
Published in: West European Politics, April 2004 The European Convention: Bargaining in the shadow of Rhetoric PAUL MAGNETTE and KALYPSO NICOLAÏDIS The European Convention on the Future of Europe was initially presented as a turning point in the history of European integration. This paper argues that, although its composition was broader, its process more transparent and its rules more flexible than classic intergovernmental conferences, the Convention was not Europe’s Philadelphia. Since it took place under the shadow of the IGC and under a leadership especially sensitive to the positions of big member states, the Convention reproduced by enlarge the logic of intergovernmental bargains. Nevertheless, some of the Convention’s outcome – the most formal aspects of its draft treaty with less predictable distributional consequences– can be explained by the ‘social norm’ of constitutional deliberation conveyed by its president and supported by a majority of its members. The advent of constitutional politics, while consistent with prior political dynamics, is thus renewing the language of national interest convergence in the European Union. A constitutional Convention does not come every day in the history of a polity. When in December 2001 at Laeken, the Heads of state and government of the European Union (EU) agreed on the creation of a ‘Convention’ with a broad and open mandate to prepare the next reform of the treaties, many claimed that this would be remembered as a turning point in the history of European integration1. While no-one knew for sure what the outcome of this process would be called, enthusiasts already saw the dawn of a ‘Constitutional moment’ for Europe. -
Eurozone Crisis Forces Belgium to Finally Form a Government | World
Eurozone crisis forces Belgium to finally form a government | World ... http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/dec/01/eurozone-crisis-forces-b... Eurozone crisis forces Belgium to finally form a government Eurozone crisis forces Belgian politicians to act and form a coalition with French-speaking Elio Di Rupo at the helm Angelique Chrisafis guardian.co.uk, Thursday 1 December 2011 19.56 GMT Belgium's chief negotiator in charge of forming a cabinet, Elio Di Rupo, (2nd R) and party leaders meet in Brussels, Photograph: Thierry Roge/REUTERS Students tried stripping to their underwear and handing out free chips; giant lions and roosters snogged in the street; the country's leading actor ordered all men to go on shaving strike; and a woman senator said politicians' wives should deny them sex. But in the end, it took a looming financial meltdown in the eurozone to force Belgium's absurdly divided and squabbling political class to form a government. After breaking the modern-day world record for failing to form a government – making war-torn Iraq look like amateurs – Belgium has surmounted the linguistic and cultural stand-off that threatened to wipe it from the map, and agreed to form a coalition in the name of sorting out its finances. After 535 days without a proper leader – the country has been led by a transitional caretaker government – Belgian officials said there was now likely to be a coalition cabinet in place next week. But the crisis has left divisions more deeply entrenched than ever between the rich, Dutch-speaking north and poorer, French-speaking south, with melting pot Brussels marooned in the middle. -

47 Million for the First Proton Therapy Center. a Walloon Center Dedicated to Research and the Treatment of Cancer in Belgium
Translation of the Press Release of the Walloon Government in Belgium Friday 2nd May 2014 €47 million for the first Proton Therapy Center. A Walloon center dedicated to research and the treatment of cancer in Belgium At the instigation of the Ministers for the Economy and Higher Education, Jean-Claude Marcourt, and for Research, Jean-Marc Nollet, the Walloon government agreed to finance a €47 million proton therapy project on Thursday April 24. This financing will enable the creation of an excellence center in Charleroi, whose purpose is to widen the scope of proton therapy applications, in addition to unique treatment applications, through a new research and development program conducted by the Universities of Brussels, Liège, Mons and Charleroi. Thanks to the advanced technologies provided by the Walloon company IBA, this new center will be dedicated to research and development on new radiotherapy techniques in order to widen the scope of proton therapy applications. The center is expected to be operational in 2017. Proton therapy today offers valuable advantages. By delivering a precise dose to the tumors, it allows maximum efficacy whilst at the same time minimizing the radiation dose in healthy tissue surrounding the tumor. By sparing healthy tissue, this alternative radiotherapy method reduces the risk of undesirable side effects and secondary cancers. Beyond the treatment performance, the Walloon proton therapy platform will become a unique tool for research in Europe and even worldwide. The project is consistent with the Biowin and Mecatech competitive clusters developed in the framework of the Second Marshall Plan for Green Development. Four universities, the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), the Université de Liège (ULg), the Université de Mons (UMons) and the Université de Namur (UNamur) have already drawn up a top-level multidisciplinary research program. -
Responsive Public Management
Responsive Public Management IGPDE /Research Office Public Management Monitoring News - No. 42 - February 2012 Belgium The Di Rupo Government: State and public management reforms A new government and a focus on budgetary consolidation On 6 December 2011, after a year and a half of negotiations, a new Belgian coalition government was sworn in. It consists of twelve ministers1 and six ministers of State, under the leadership of the French-speaking Socialist Elio Di Rupo. The ministerial posts are divided between six political parties, including social democrats, Christian democrats and liberals from both the French- and Dutch-speaking communities. The government does not include the major winner in the June 2010 elections, the New Flemish Alliance (N-VA), because it withdrew from the talks. The civil service, which had previously been managed by a specific Federal Public Service (FPS)2, is now the responsibility of the Minister of State for the Civil Service and the Modernisation of Public Services (Hendrik Bogaert), attached to the Minister of Finance and Sustainable Development (Steven Vanackere). Administrative simplification is now the purview of Olivier Chastel, Minister for the Budget. Budgetary restraint is a pressing issue. In its proposed policy statement of 1 December 2011, the government made putting public finances back on a sound footing a top priority3. Even before the vote on the 2012 budget took place, an initial budget review was scheduled for the end of February4. This was triggered by a likely downward revision of growth forecasts and an ongoing Excessive Deficit Procedure initiated by the European Commission5, which requested that certain expenditures be suspended pending the corresponding budget adjustments.
