Green Deal – The Coordinators David Sassoli S&D ”I want the European Green Deal to become Europe’s hallmark. At the heart of it is our commitment to becoming the world’s first climate-neutral continent. It is also a long-term economic imperative: those who act first European Parliament and fastest will be the ones who grasp the opportunities from the ecological transition.

COMMON STATEMENT on the US-EU WINE TRADE RELATIONSHIP June 14, 2021
COMMON STATEMENT ON THE US-EU WINE TRADE RELATIONSHIP June 14, 2021 The EU and the US wine sectors play a critical role in supporting a vibrant transatlantic trade relationship. This sector is an essential driving force for many rural economies and for a significant number of medium and small enterprises. The undersigned deeply regret that the wine sector, as a notable industry in our two economies is sometimes caught in the crosshairs of unrelated trade disputes, causing economic damage to producers, and putting the millions of jobs that they support at risk. Consumers are also victims of those trading conflicts, which can lead to higher prices and reduced consumer choice. We urge the European Union and the US to resolve current trade disputes, to stop any related retaliatory action against wine exports, and to strengthen their bilateral partnership in order to avoid any sanctions against those sectors, including in the context of the current World Trade Organization Large Civil Aircraft Airbus-Boeing disputes. As legislators and policy makers on both sides of the Atlantic, we acknowledge the importance and benefits of strengthening this bilateral partnership. Both the U.S. and the EU are each other’s largest export markets, with the total wine trade reaching more than $5.3 billion (€4.5 billion) annually, creating jobs and investment and supporting sustainable agriculture on both sides of the Atlantic. We ask our governments to further support the economic vitality and diversity of our wine sectors by working to remove all tariffs on wine to achieve a “zero for zero” wine trade environment.

TO: Ms Mairead McGuinness European Commissioner for Financial Services, Financial Stability and the Capital Markets Union Mr Valdis Dombrovskis European Commission Executive Vice-President for An Economy that Works for People CC: Mr Frans Timmermans European Commission Executive Vice-President for the European Green Deal Ms Kadri Simson European Commissioner for Energy Brussels, 13 April 2021 Dear Executive Vice-President Dombrovskis, Dear Commissioner McGuinness, We are convinced that the Taxonomy Regulation is crucial for the European Union to achieve both the new greenhouse gas emissions reduction target for 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050. Additionally, the Regulation should help strengthening the European Union’s strategic resilience and global economic competitiveness, maintaining its energy security and affordability, boosting growth and job creation and supporting a just and inclusive energy transition that leaves nobody behind. However, to what extent the Taxonomy Regulation will ultimately meet these expectations depends primarily on the technical screening criteria (TSC) defined in the Delegated Act on climate change mitigation and adaptation. We understand the European Commission will publish it later this month, whereupon the European Parliament may make full use of its scrutinizing prerogatives under Article 290 TFEU. In advance of its publication, we would like to share with you some of our major concerns regarding the revised draft version of this delegated act. Firstly, it is indispensable that the Taxonomy Regulation takes into account transition at the energy system level and supports the most cost-efficient decarbonisation pathway for each Member State in line with the principle of technology neutrality. In this context, it is key to acknowledge the role of gaseous fuels.

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.

The Achilles Heel of Bulgaria's Far Right: the Linkage Between The
Start Podcasts Fokus » sicherheitspolitikblog.de Blog zur SicherheitspolitikBücher Über Uns English 18. Apr. 2016 von gast in Rechtsradikalismus Kommentare ( 0 ) The Achilles Heel of Bulgaria’s Far Right: the Linkage between the Extreme Right and the Patriotic Front This is the 14. article in our series Trouble on the FarRight. For more information on the series, please click here. by Yordan Kutiyski Ever since Bulgaria’s admission to the European Union (EU) in 2007, the country’s domestically weak far right has managed to send its representatives to the European Parliament (EP). Prior to 2014, these MEPs remained largely isolated, retaining a nonaffiliated status. Initially, Volen Siderov’s far right party Attack, the first of its kind in postcommunist Bulgaria, won three seats in the legislative body in 2007. Formed in 2005, Attack quickly gained electoral support, conveying a strong xenophobic and antiminority rhetoric combined with emphasis on Orthodox Christian values and opposition to globalization. No other Bulgarian party has previously sought to attract voters using such a strategy. Attack participated in the shortlived Identity, Tradition, Sovereignty group in the EP. Further efforts for constructing a lasting political grouping on the far right with the participation of Bulgarian parties remained futile, making their influence on debateshaping and decisionmaking hardly possible. Winning a seat less in 2009, Attack remained outside of any recognized EP political group. The situation changed in 2014, however, when the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization – Bulgarian National Movement (IMROBNM) propelled Angel Dzhambazki to the EP and later to the soft Eurosceptic European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group.

Z O2-Ö EM/Al Ares (2020) S 4485676
European Commission VALDIS DOMBROVSKIS THIERRY BRETON EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE EUROPEAN MEMBER OF THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION COMMISSION Brussels, ¿X'Jbb*x~ Z_o2-ö EM/al Ares (2020) s 4485676 Dear Honourable Members, Thank you for your letter of 24 June in which you present your vision for Europe’s raw materials policy. We welcome your initiative and the broad political support for strengthened action on raw materials. President von der Leyen insisted in her presentation of Next Generation EU on the need to increase the resilience and open strategic autonomy of the EU, notably by promoting investment in key value chains that are crucial for our future resilience. In line with the new industrial strategy, the Commission adopted, on 3 September 2020, an action plan on critical raw materials. One of the actions is to create a European Raw Materials Alliance, involving all relevant stakeholders. In addition, the Commission services have published a report looking at critical raw material needs for strategic sectors - such as renewable energy, e- mobility, digitalisation, aerospace and defence - that will be required in 2030 and 2050. The funds allocated to strengthen the EU economy need to be commensurate to the challenges we face. The InvestEU Programme identifies funding for primary and secondary raw materials in the sustainable infrastructure policy window. In addition, Horizon Europe will fund innovation to strengthen market intelligence and development throughout the life cycle of raw materials, i.e. production, recycling and substitution solutions. Non-budgetary policies will also accompany these measures to reinforce the EU open strategic autonomy while also defending our values.
