  • Hon. Mr President of the European Parliament, Dear David Sassoli
    Hon. Mr President of the European Parliament, Dear David Sassoli, Since March, when the outbreak of COVID-19 intensified in Europe, the functioning of the European Parliament (EP) has changed dramatically, due to the sanitary measures applied. We understand the inevitability of the contingency plan, taking into account the need to prevent infection and the spread of the virus and to protect the health and lives of people. Six months later, the functioning of the EP is gradually returning to normal. However, there are services whose unavailability seriously impairs parliamentary work, namely the interpretation service. The European Union (EU) has 24 official languages and all deserve the same respect and treatment. We recognize that the number of languages available in committee meeting rooms has been increasing, but even so, more than half of the languages still have no interpretation. Multilingualism is a right enshrined in the Treaties that allows Members to express themselves in their own language. Now, that is not happening and we are concerned that the situation will continue, even taking into account the expected workflow in the commissions after these atypical six months. In this sense, we appeal, once again, to you, the President of the EP for the application of the letter and the spirit of the principle of multilingualism, finding solutions that respect this principle and that allow the use of any of the 24 official languages of the EU. The expression of each deputy in her/his own language is a priority so that there can be conditions to fully exercise the mandate for which she/he was elected and a condition of respect for the citizens who elected her/him.

  • Stop Turkey´S Attacks Against Afrin Appel À La Paix Et Au Dialogue
    Strasbourg, 6 February 2018 Declaration for peace and dialogue: Stop Turkey´s attacks against Afrin In the past few days, Turkish air strikes have been launched against Afrin, a Kurdish region in Northern Syria, killing and wounding several civilians. This Turkish military operation is taking place without any provocation or attack by either Kurds in this region, or by Syria. The European signatories of this declaration urge the European Commission and the Member States to redouble their political efforts to demand that Turkey immediately stops its military offensive. We also request the urgent reactivation of the dialogue in the framework of the Geneva talks on Syria, involving all parties, including the Kurds. We further recognise that the fight of the Kurds in the front line against Daesh also contributes to European security. The destabilisation that Turkey’s attack will cause in this area seriously threatens the security of the entire region. The silence or equidistance of the European Union and the international community is not an option. We, the undersigned MEPs, call on the EU and the UN to take action in order for these attacks to stop immediately. Appel à la paix et au dialogue : la Turquie doit cesser immédiatement son intervention militaire à Afrine Ces derniers jours, des frappes aériennes turques ont été lancées contre Afrine, une région kurde du nord de la Syrie, tuant et blessant plusieurs civils. Cette opération militaire turque se déroule sans aucune provocation ni attaque de la part des Kurdes de cette région ou de la Syrie. Les députés européens signataires de cette déclaration exhortent la Commission européenne et les États membres à redoubler d’efforts politiques pour exiger que la Turquie arrête immédiatement son offensive militaire.

  • The Manifesto for Fair Internships
    Manifesto for #FairInternships We support the call of the Global Intern Strike for equal access to fair, quality internships for ALL young people. ● Equality: Internships need to be paid so that they are accessible to all, regardless of socio-economic background. ● Fairness: Interns must have basic employment rights such as protection from harassment and fair working conditions. ● Quality: Internships should offer meaningful learning experiences that help young people successfully transition from education to employment. We believe that all EU institutions should ban unpaid internships. ● We call all EU institutions to take the necessary steps to provide quality and well remunerated internships to ALL its interns and to stop offering unpaid internships altogether and avoid having a parallel system of less regulated internships aside from their regular internship program. ● We call the European Ombudsman to continue investigating the situation of unpaid interns in EU institutions after its recommendation on the EEAS practice of offering unpaid internships offered in EU delegations. To this end, the European Parliament should change its rules governing internships offered by MEP’s and political groups, taking into account the following demands: ● Pay trainees in in MEP offices or political groups a decent remuneration at a similar level as the Schuman trainees! The remuneration should cover living expenses in Brussels or the city where the traineeship is undertaken. The remuneration needs to be clearly included in the trainee’s contract. If provided by another institution, this needs to be documented and included in the trainee’s contract. ● Fix the standard duration of traineeships to 6 months and limit the maximum duration to 12 months.

  • EN SEARICA Islands
    François Alfonsi Député européen Vice-Président SEARICA en charge des Iles Object - Devastating impact of the Covid-19 health crisis on the economy of islands Mrs President of the Commission, Mr President of the European Council, Mr President of the Council of the EU, The health crisis hitting Europe will generate a very serious economic crisis, which, to be overcome, will require a great deal of effort and solidarity, with regard to the populations that will be most affected, and also considering the territories whose economic structure is such that the foreseeable impacts are very significant. This is particularly true with regard to the islands. Indeed, according to the most recent Eurostat statistics (2018), island economies are experiencing an economic decline in comparison with other regions. The health crisis we are going through will exacerbate this trend heavily, and may even cause the economic collapse of island areas if they are not sufficiently supported. There are several reasons for this. The first - and the main one - is that tourism is a fundamental activity for all islands, particularly in the Mediterranean. Yet tourism is the economic activity that will be most affected by the consequences of the pandemic, since it is, for the islands, entirely dependent on air and maritime transport - which are totally at a standstill and will most probably remain so for the next several months before total deconfinement in Europe. As a result, tourism will be the last economic activity that can be revived, and it is not certain that this will happen before the end of the summer.
