— UKRAINE REFORMS #UkraineReforms A successful transformation in Ukraine encompassing the rule of law, pluralist democracy and a functioning market economy is an essential condition for a peaceful and prosperous future, not only in the country but also for all of Europe. For that to happen the country An initiative of: needs to go through profound reforms. The ongoing reforms in Ukraine concern measures which have far-ranging effects on the Ukrainian population.

    The Polish Liberal Project in Jan Krzysztof Bielecki's Policy Statement

    Roczniki Historii Socjologii ISSN 2084–2031 • Vol. X (2019) p p. 9 3 –1 1 0 The Polish Liberal Project in Jan Krzysztof Bielecki’s Policy Statement Sławomir Drelich Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń Jan Krzysztof Bielecki’s liberal project—introduction The office of the first non-communist prime minister in post-war Poland was held by Tadeusz Mazowiecki. Linked with Solidarity from its beginnings, Mazowiecki began his political career in the PAX Association, on whose behalf he was elected to the Sejm of the Polish People’s Republic. Mazowiecki’s biography perfectly exemplifies the struggle of the generation which grew up during occupation and in Stalinist times, with a political regime imposed on the Poles. Mazowiecki’s policy statement, delivered on 24 August 1989, undoubtedly marked a symbolic end of the communist era in Poland. Although the message of Mazowiecki’s statement suited the period of transition that Poland was about to undergo, it did not provide a specific vision of Poland’s new political system. 93 Sławomir Drelich Mazowiecki was succeeded by Jan Krzysztof Bielecki, a politician younger than him by a generation; Bielecki was born in the Polish People’s Republic, and was also associated with Solidarity’s expert committee. While this organization essentially provided Bielecki with the first experience in his social and political career, he is considered as one of the so called “Gdańsk liberals” (Knoch 2015: 111–114). This is why Bielecki’s policy statement differed significantly from the policy statement of his opponent, as it includes a more precisely-put idea of the new political, economic and social system.

    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.
