  • Mr Josep Borrell Vice-President of the European Commission High Representative of the Union for the CFSP Rue De La Loi 170 1000 Brussels
    Mr Josep Borrell Vice-President of the European Commission High Representative of the Union for the CFSP Rue de la Loi 170 1000 Brussels Brussels, 16th April 2021 Dear Mr. High Representative; Mr Vice-President of the Commission: A delegation from the illegitimate National Assembly of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which emerged from the electoral farce organised on 6th December 2020 by the regime of Nicolás Maduro, recently paid a visit to Brussels and was officially received by the institution you lead. According to a statement you made on behalf of the European Union on 6th December, this spurious process took place in the absence of electoral conditions that could have guaranteed its credibility, without any respect for political pluralism, and in an atmosphere of persecution and disqualification of democratic leaders whose legitimate rights were curtailed. Your statement concludes that such circumstances could not consider this process credible, inclusive, and transparent and therefore the results did not represent the will of the Venezuelan people. That initial statement was confirmed on 6 January of this year by a new declaration, in similar terms to those expressed on 6 December, and by the conclusions of the Foreign Affairs Council of 25 January. These reiterated the lack of recognition of the electoral process and regretted the behaviour of the authorities of the Maduro regime, whose actions are preventing a solution to the serious crisis in Venezuela. We were surprised and gravely concerned to learn that on 14th April, at your request, senior officials of the European External Action Service received the aforementioned delegation, comprising Iris Varela, Pedro Carreño and Desirée Santos Amaral, at the EEAS headquarters.

  • Letter to EU Telecom and Trade Ministers and to European Commissioners Thierry Breton, Margrethe Vestager and Valdis Dombrovskis
    Letter to EU telecom and trade ministers and to European Commissioners Thierry Breton, Margrethe Vestager and Valdis Dombrovskis We, the undersigned Members of the European Parliament from five different political groups, share a common concern regarding 5G security in Europe and unfair competition between European and Chinese 5G vendors. Therefore, we send this letter to you in preparation of the upcoming informal TTE Council on 15 October, urging you to take action on the points raised. We have learnt from the COVID-19 crisis that maintaining know-how, capacity and some level of independence in critical sectors, including medical/pharmaceutical, food supplies, and utilities, i.e. energy, water and communications infrastructure is indispensable for our survival. In the area of connectivity, COVID-19 has demonstrated how vital fixed and mobile connectivity is to help fight the crisis and to keep the economy and essential services running to the extent possible. The European Commission has, already pre-crisis, launched a number of initiatives to preserve our security and sovereignty, which today prove to be more relevant than ever before. These include a renewed industrial strategy with digitization and connectivity at its heart, increased funding proposals for connectivity, cyber security and AI, the investment screening framework to avoid harmful foreign take-overs of critical EU businesses, trade policy initiatives promoting reciprocity, and more concretely, the 5G security joint risk assessment and toolbox of mitigating measures. 5G is a central element in Europe’s digital sovereignty and the EU 5G security initiative rightly has the aim of safeguarding the security of 5G as a critical infrastructure for Europe.

  • 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.

Toute sa vie durant, il est resté très attentif à sa famille, malgré la lourde charge qu’il accomplissait avec sagesse et un grand sens du devoir. Il pouvait aussi compter sur le soutien précieux de son épouse, ma mère, la Grande-Duchesse Joséphine-Charlotte. Tourné vers les autres, il avait cette faculté d’écoute exceptionnelle qui touchait chaque personne qu’il rencontrait. C’était une personne au caractère éminemment positif. Curieux de tout, il participait quelques jours encore avant son hospitalisation au Forum organisé par mon épouse ou visitait une exposition. Il suivait tout ce qui se passait dans le pays. Même l’épineux dossier du “Brexit” n’avait que peu de secrets pour lui. Je suis persuadé que cette disposition d’esprit et sa vivacité ont été les garants de sa longévité. Dans son cercle plus intime, sa joie de vivre rayonnait sur nous tous et son sens de l’humour nous faisait parfois rire aux larmes. Il était d’un soutien constant, en nous encourageant et en nous félicitant dans nos actions, tout en respectant entièrement nos choix et nos décisions. Bien sûr, l’autre ambition de sa vie fut l’amour profond qu’il portait à sa patrie et la très grande affection qu’il vouait à ses compatriotes dans leur unité et leur diversité.

    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.

Ares(2020)2751335 - 27/05/2020 JANUSZ WOJCIECHOWSKI Commissioner for Agriculture Brussels, 25.05.2020 (2020)3063219 Dear Ms Tolleret, dear Honourable Members, Thank you for your letter of 15 April in which you explain all your concerns relating to the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on the European wine sector. I share your concerns about the extremely negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the farming community and on its economy. It was a matter of urgency to provide help and relief to European agricultural producers and to the wine sector in particular. This is why the Commission responded very rapidly by adopting on 30 April and on 4 May last, a package of market measures under Regulation (EU) No 1308/20131. Based on the urgency procedure enabled by Article 228 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, two Delegated Regulations2 are already in force and in application subject to no objection being voiced by the co-legislators. The remaining Delegated Regulation3 was transmitted to the Parliament on the day of its adoption by the Commission. Lastly, nine additional Implementing Regulations adopted by the Commission on 30 April 2020 became applicable as of 4 May 2020.
