  • European Alliance for a Green Recovery
    Launch of the European alliance for a Green Recovery Press Release Under embargo until 14/04 7:00am At the initiative of Pascal Canfin, Chair of the Environment Committee at the European Parliament, 180 political decision-makers, business leaders, trade unions, NGOs, and think tanks have come together to form a European alliance for a Green Recovery. In the face of the coronavirus crisis, the biggest challenge Europe has faced in peacetime, with devastating consequences and a shock to the economy tougher than the 2008 crisis, Ministers from 11 countries, 79 cross-party MEPs from 17 Member States, 37 CEOs, 28 business associations representing 10 different sectors, trade union confederation representing members from 90 national trade union organisations and 10 trade union federations, 7 NGOs and 6 think tanks, have committed to working together to create, support and implement solutions to prepare our economies for the world of tomorrow. This first pan-European call for mobilisation on post-crisis green investment packages will work to build the recovery and transformation plans which enshrine the fight against climate change and biodiversity as a key pillar of the economic strategy. Sharing the belief that the economic recovery will only come with massive investments to protect and create jobs and to support all companies, regions and sectors that have suffered from the economy coming to a sudden halt, the alliance commits to contribute to the post-crisis investment decisions needed to reboot and reboost our economy. Covid-19 will not make climate change and nature degradation go away. The fight against this crisis will not be won without a solid economic response.

  • Manufacturing Discontent: the Rise to Power of Anti-TTIP Groups
    ECIPE OCCASIONAL PAPER • 02/2016 Manufacturing Discontent: The Rise to Power of Anti-TTIP Groups By Matthias Bauer, Senior Economist* *Special thanks to Karen Rudolph (Otto-Friedrich-University Bamberg) and Agnieszka Smiatacz (Research Assistant at ECIPE) for research support all along the process of the preparation of this study. ecipe occasional paper — no. 02/2016 ABSTRACT Old beliefs, new symbols, new faces. In 2013, a small group of German green and left- wing activists, professional campaign NGOs and well-established protectionist organisations set up deceptive communication campaigns against TTIP, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership between the European Union and the United States. Germany’s anti-TTIP NGOs explicitly aimed to take German-centred protests to other European countries. Their reasoning is contradictory and logically inconsistent. Their messages are targeted to serve common sense protectionist demands of generally ill-informed citizens and politicians. Thereby, anti-TTIP communication is based on metaphoric messages and far-fetched myths to effectively evoke citizens’ emotions. Together, these groups dominated over 90 percent of online media reporting on TTIP in Germany. Anti-TTIP protest groups in Germany are not only inventive; they are also resourceful. Based on generous public funding and opaque private donations, green and left-wing political parties, political foundations, clerical and environmental groups, and well-established anti-globalisation organisations maintain influential campaign networks. Protest groups’ activities are coordinated by a number of former and current green and left-wing politicians and political parties that search for anti-establishment political profiles. As Wallon blockage mentality regarding CETA, the trade and investment agreement between the European Union and Canada, demonstrates, Germany’s anti-TTIP groups’ attempts to undermine EU trade policy bear the risk of coming to fruition in other Eurpean countries.

  • European Parliament, Brussels, 20 June 2019 Mr. Jean-Claude
    European Parliament, Brussels, 20 June 2019 Mr. Jean-Claude Juncker, President Mrs Cecilia Malmström, Commissioner for International Trade European Commission Brussels Mr. President, Madam Commissioner, The press has informed us that the European Commission is considering to conclude the EU-Mercosur Association Agreement in the near future, including a comprehensive free trade agreement. We - recently elected MEPs and MEPs of the outgoing period - consider it our obligation to accompany the negotiations in permanent contact with the negotiators of the Commission. We insist on receiving regular updates during the final phase of the negotiations, in order to provide for an informed debate in the European Parliament and the specialised committees and working groups. We consider this essential for the good functioning of the relations between our institutions. This is particularly important due to the fact that the EU - Mercosur Agreement is politically very sensitive. This has been further complicated by public statements of Brazil’s President Bolsonaro - on climate change, on the future of Amazonia, on workers’ rights, on the rights of indigenous peoples, on freedom of thought and freedom of expression and association. His announcement on turning land reserved for indigenous peoples into land used for industrial farming has provoked the largest protest gathering of indigenous population in Brasilia in the history of the country. In the favelas of Rio and other large cities, extrajudicial killings by police forces occur on a regular basis. Institutions in defence of the rights of minorities are being dismantled. Democratically constituted societies need a vibrant civil society that fights for and defends participation, which Brazil's civil society has done well since 1988.

  • The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection: Conflicts of Interest , Corporate Capture and the Push for 5G

The report was written by Hans van Scharen with editing and additional research support from Tomas Vanheste. Final Editing: Erik Lambert 2 Foreword by Klaus Buchner and Michèle Rivasi This report deals with an issue of which the importance cannot be overrated: the possible health effects of Radiofrequency Radiation (RfR) or electro magnetic fields (EMF); It deals more specifically with how the scientific debate has been hijacked by corporate interests from the Telecom industry and conflicts of interest. After having read the reports of a journalistic collective called Investigate Europe, the many articles from Microwave News as well as all the publications from independent scientists from around the world, who for years have all been ringing alarm bells on adverse health effects from the use of mobile phones and EMF, we decided that we needed to dig deeper into this strange, unknown to the public but powerful scientific NGO based in Germany called the ‘International Commission on Non- Ionizing Radiation Protection’ (ICNIRP).

  • His Majesty, King of Bahrain Hamad Bin Isa Al Khalifa P.O. Box 555 Rifa’A Palace Manama, Bahrain
    His Majesty, King of Bahrain Hamad Bin Isa Al Khalifa P.O. Box 555 Rifa’a Palace Manama, Bahrain 16 November 2018 Your Majesty, We write regarding the upcoming elections for Bahrain’s lower house of parliament, the Council of Representatives, taking place on 24 November. We are deeply concerned about the restrictive political environment in Bahrain, in particular the government’s effective closing of all civil and political space. On 4 November, the Secretary General of Bahrain’s largest dissolved political society, Sheikh Ali Salman, was sentenced to life imprisonment. This sentence raises further concerns that the results will be viewed as unfree, unfair, and illegitimate. To ensure international recognition of election results, we urge you to take all necessary steps to ensure the elections’ credibility, including by releasing political prisoners and allowing the formation of independent civil and political society organisations. Denial of Political Participation In order for the elections to meet international standards of free and fair elections, citizens must be able to organise politically and have the opportunity to support a wide range of candidates running for office. However, your government’s decision to forcibly dissolve all major political opposition groups, including Al-Wefaq and Wa’ad, deprives large sectors of the population of their preferred political associations. Actions taken by your government’s security services – including harassment, intimidation, and arrest – towards smaller political societies like Al-Wahdawi, and high-profile leaders, further marginalised political opposition groups and limit many citizens’ ability to vote for policies they support. We are particularly concerned over the continued detentions of political leaders Hassan Mushaima and Sheikh Ali Salman.
