  • European Parliament: 7Th February 2017 Redistribution of Political Balance
    POLICY PAPER European issues n°420 European Parliament: 7th February 2017 redistribution of political balance Charles de Marcilly François Frigot At the mid-term of the 8th legislature, the European Parliament, in office since the elections of May 2014, is implementing a traditional “distribution” of posts of responsibility. Article 19 of the internal regulation stipulates that the Chairs of the parliamentary committees, the Deputy-Chairs, as well as the questeurs, hold their mandates for a renewable 2 and a-half year period. Moreover, internal elections within the political groups have supported their Chairs, whilst we note that there has been some slight rebalancing in terms of the coordinators’ posts. Although Italian citizens draw specific attention with the two main candidates in the battle for the top post, we should note other appointments if we are to understand the careful balance between nationalities, political groups and individual experience of the European members of Parliament. A TUMULTUOUS PRESIDENTIAL provide collective impetus to potential hesitations on the part of the Member States. In spite of the victory of the European People’s Party (EPP) in the European elections, it supported Martin As a result the election of the new President of Schulz in July 2104 who stood for a second mandate as Parliament was a lively[1] affair: the EPP candidate – President of the Parliament. In all, with the support of the Antonio Tajani – and S&D Gianni Pittella were running Liberals (ADLE), Martin Schulz won 409 votes following neck and neck in the fourth round of the relative an agreement concluded by the “grand coalition” after majority of the votes cast[2].

  • Lettera Sassoli Chiusura Parlamento IT.Pages
    8 marzo 2020 Caro Presidente Sassoli, Ti scriviamo per esprimere la nostra profonda preoccupazione per la diffusione della malattia infettiva causata dal coronavirus COVID-19 in Europa e per richiedere ulte- riori misure di sicurezza per salvaguardare i Membri del Parlamento europeo, il per- sonale e la popolazione locale. Come ben sai, il livello di emergenza legato alla diffusione di questo virus è note- volmente aumentato nel corso delle ultime ore: il numero di casi confermati si sta moltiplicando in molti Stati membri, compreso il Belgio, e sono state confermate nuove aree di contagio. Misure di sicurezza straordinarie sono state adottate dalle autorità pubbliche di tutta Europa e intere aree sono state messe in quarantena. Il numero di casi confermati è in costante aumento in Belgio e a Bruxelles e questa settimana abbiamo riscontrato i primi casi di nuovi coronavirus nelle istituzioni del- l'UE. Sebbene apprezziamo che siano già state adottate misure straordinarie per far fron- te a questa emergenza, riteniamo che la situazione in rapida evoluzione e i maggiori rischi per la salute richiedano ulteriori misure di sicurezza come l'immediata interru- zione di tutti i lavori parlamentari, compresa la prossima sessione plenaria, come misura precauzionale. Il Parlamento europeo, con oltre 5000 persone che vi lavorano e viaggiano regolar- mente tra la loro città natale e Bruxelles, ha il potenziale per diventare un focolaio di trasmissione del coronavirus. Con la presente ti chiediamo di sospendere tutte le attività parlamentari con effetto immediato, fino a quando i rischi per la salute legati alla diffusione del virus saranno sotto controllo.

  • To the President of the European Commission Mrs. Ursula Von Der Leyen, Rue De La Loi / Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels
    To the President of the European Commission Mrs. Ursula von der Leyen, Rue de la Loi / Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels To the Executive Vice-President of the European Commission Mr. Vladis Dombrovskis Rue de la Loi / Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels Brussels, 22 October 2020, Subject: the EU must impose an import ban on Chinese companies using forced labour Dear President von der Leyen, Dear Vice-President Dombrovskis, For years, the Chinese regime has been detaining millions of human beings in camps, just because they were born Uyghurs. For years, Europe and the world have been witnessing a crime against humanity without opposing any resistance to it. In recent months, several studies have reported the use of Uyghur forced labour for the benefit of major European companies. Indeed, many Chinese factories, directly supplying EU brands exploit the Uyghurs and benefit from their forced labour. Facing this abjection, Europe must act to protect the lives and fundamental rights of Uyghurs. The EU should use its trade and market power to safeguards the founding principles enrichened in our Treaties and guiding our external policies. As the US did lately through an imports ban passed almost unanimously in the US House of Representatives, Europe urgently needs to establish a blacklist of Chinese companies implicated in Uyghur forced labour. We look forward to your response. Yours sincerely, 1. Raphaël Glucksmann, S&D 2. Dietmar Köster, S&D 3. Francisco Guerreiro, Greens 4. Sylvie Guillaume, S&D 5. Aurore Lalucq, S&D 6. Izaskun Bilbao Barandica, Renew 7. Anna Cavazzini, Greens 8. Nora Mebarek, S&D 9.

  • Green Recovery Call to Action & Signatories 121
    GREENRECOVERY REBOOT & REBOOST our economies for a sustainable future Call for mobilisation The coronavirus crisis is shaking the whole world, with devastating consequences across Europe. We are being put to the test. We are suffering and mourning our losses, and this crisis is testing the limits of our system. It is also a test of our great European solidarity and of our institutions, which acted fast at the start of the crisis to deploy measures to protect us. The crisis is still ongoing, but we will see the light at the end of the tunnel, and by fighting together, we will beat the virus. Never have we faced such a challenging situation in peacetime. The fight against the pandemic is our top priority and everything that is needed to stop it and eradicate the virus must be done. We welcome and strongly support all the actions developed by governments, EU institutions, local authorities, scientists, medical staff, volunteers, citizens and economic actors. In this tremendously difficult situation, we are also facing another crisis: a shock to our economy tougher than the 2008 crisis. The major shock to the economy and workers created by the pandemic calls for a strong coordinated economic response. We therefore welcome the declaration of European leaders stating that they will do “whatever it takes” to tackle the social and economic consequences of this crisis. However, what worked for the 2008 financial crisis may not be sufficient to overcome this one. The economic recovery will only come with massive investments to protect and create jobs and to support all the companies, regions and sectors that have suffered from the economy coming to a sudden halt.

  • 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.

  • Dear President of the European Parliament, Dear President of The
    Dear President of the European Parliament, Dear President of the European Council, Dear President of the European Commission and Dear President of the French Republic, We all have a responsibility for the shared future of Europe. In this time of crisis, it is high time to re-evaluate some of the rules we have upheld till now and focus on the most important aspects of the European project, which will help us move forward. An unprecedented health crisis is currently affecting millions of people in Europe and tragically taking thousands of lives. However, this is not the end. The economic crisis will crush the hopes and dreams of generations of Europeans. We sincerely hope that we will all do whatever is in our power not to leave anyone behind. We firmly believe that the European Parliament needs to take on its responsibility and share the burden since it is the highest European directly elected body. We need to be part of the solution, not part of the problem. If we want the people to have confidence and trust in the European project, we need to show them that we are also ready to make concessions. Therefore, we would like to ask you to do everything in your power to change the treaties in order to have just a single seat of the Parliament in Brussels. This call has again gained a large majority of support in the 2018 Parliament discharge resolution adopted on 13 May 2020 and shall now be taken into account and acted upon. The financial and environmental costs of moving the Parliament are, especially in these times of digitally connected Europe, extremely high and hard to justify.

The Lisbon Treaty, signed in 2009, gave the European Parliament greater power in EU Idecision-making and an increased role in selecting and approving the European Commission. As a result, this year’s European election has a greater democratic influence than ever before.
