Throughout this period the Dutch government was Chairpersons of COSAC responsible for efficiently guiding the Council negotiations. But the Dutch Presidency also had a 'parliamentary dimension' to it. This entailed that the Dutch House of Representatives and the Senate organised six conferences for fellow parliamentarians from EU member states. Stability, economic 5 coordination and governance The aim of these conferences was to encourage parliamentarians to work together towards a stronger parliamentary engagement in European decision-making. Particularly now that many important decisions are made at a European level, effective parliamentary scrutiny plays a Innovative & Inspiring 7 major role. And that is why it is essential that national parliaments and the European Parlia- ment join forces and work together. It was in this spirit that, during the six months of the Dutch Presidency, the House of Representatives and the Senate made it their goal to encourage cooperation between parliamentarians and so increase their joint effectiveness.

  • United Nations Secretary-General Appoints Gunilla Carlsson As
    United Nations Secretary-General appoints Gunilla Carlsson as Executive Director, a.i., of UNAIDS GENEVA, 13 May 2019—UNAIDS warmly welcomes the appointment by the United Nations Secretary-General of Gunilla Carlsson as Executive Director, a.i., of UNAIDS. Ms Carlsson joined UNAIDS in February 2018 as the Deputy Executive Director for Management and Governance and Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations. Ms Carlsson provides strategic direction to management functions and is leading UNAIDS’ work in promoting effective governance of the Joint Programme and ensuring that UNAIDS continues to serve as a pathfinder for United Nations reform. “It is a great honour for me to serve UNAIDS as acting Executive Director at such a pivotal time for the Joint Programme, the United Nations and global health. The AIDS response cannot afford to be at a standstill,” said Ms Carlsson. “Human rights, gender equality and diversity must be at the centre of all we do. I look forward to continuing to work hand in hand with communities, staff and partners around the globe to achieve the 2020 targets and ultimately end AIDS.” Prior to joining UNAIDS, Ms Carlsson served as an elected member of the Swedish Parliament and as the Minister for International Development Cooperation. She also served as an elected member of the European Parliament. Ms Carlsson was the Chair of the Swedish-initiated Commission on Climate Change and Development.

  • Matteo Renzi
    Matteo Renzi Italia, Primer ministro Duración del mandato: 22 de Febrero de 2014 - En funciones Nacimiento: Florencia, región de Toscana, 11 de Enero de 1975 Partido político: PD Profesión : Comercial de marketing ResumenEl 22 de febrero de 2014 asumió la presidencia del Consejo de Ministros de Italia Matteo Renzi, el recién elegido líder del gobernante Partido Democrático (PD) y desde 2009 alcalde de Florencia. Con 39 años el más joven primer ministro en la historia del país transalpino y sin experiencia en la gestión pública nacional, Renzi, cuyos atributos más señalados son la desenvoltura mediática, la absoluta confianza en sus posibilidades reformistas y, según sus propias palabras, una "ambición desmesurada", ha coronado su fulgurante ascenso al poder en un movimiento desarrollado en dos tiempos. Así, primero, en diciembre de 2013, conquistó la Secretaría Nacional del PD, poniendo fin al período de interinidad abierto por la renuncia de Pier Luigi Bersani, el frustrado aspirante a jefe de Gobierno tras las elecciones de febrero y al que había disputado sin éxito la elección primaria de 2012. Luego, al cabo de dos meses, el síndico florentino no vaciló en desautorizar al primer ministro Enrico Letta, colega del partido y, como él, procedente de su ala popular- católica, centrista -diferente de la tradición socialdemócrata, ex comunista-, acusándole de pasividad reformista, obligándole a dimitir y arrebatándole el cargo con el concurso del presidente de la República, Giorgio Napolitano.Renzi se ha hecho con el timón de Italia apoyado en una coalición mayoritaria que además de su partido componen los nuevos centroderechistas de Angelino Alfano, los centristas liberales de Elección Cívica y los democristianos de la Unión de Centro.

  • Fredrik Reinfeldt
    2014 Press release 03 June 2014 Prime Minister's Office REMINDER: German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte to Harpsund On Monday and Tuesday 9-10 June, Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt will host a high-level meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte at Harpsund. The European Union needs to improve job creation and growth now that the EU is gradually recovering from the economic crisis. At the same time, the EU is facing institutional changes with a new European Parliament and a new European Commission taking office in the autumn. Sweden, Germany, the UK and the Netherlands are all reform and growth-oriented countries. As far as Sweden is concerned, it will be important to emphasise structural reforms to boost EU competitiveness, strengthen the Single Market, increase trade relations and promote free movement. These issues will be at the centre of the discussions at Harpsund. Germany, the UK and the Netherlands, like Sweden, are on the World Economic Forum's list of the world's ten most competitive countries. It is natural, therefore, for these countries to come together to compare experiences and discuss EU reform. Programme points: Monday 9 June 18.30 Chancellor Merkel, PM Cameron and PM Rutte arrive at Harpsund; outdoor photo opportunity/door step. Tuesday 10 June 10.30 Joint concluding press conference. Possible further photo opportunities will be announced later. Accreditation is required through the MFA International Press Centre. Applications close on 4 June at 18.00.

At the same time, the international community is gradually putting an end to a half century of political division. There are more support and potential now for cooperation and reconciliation than ever before. The international community now has a real chance to create a better and more secure tomorrow. Finland faces a historic choice. As a nation, we now find ourselves in the fortunate position of not being forced by any outsiders into making it. We really are the shapers of our own destiny. The coming advisory referendum will be the first we have ever arranged on a foreign policy issue.

  • Gunilla Carlsson, Minister for International Development Cooperation Speech by Gunilla Carlsson at UN High-Level Meeting Check Against Delivery
    2010 Speech 21 September 2010 Gunilla Carlsson, Minister for International Development Cooperation Speech by Gunilla Carlsson at UN high-level meeting Check against delivery Mr President, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, Related Press Release: Gunilla (Sweden aligns itself fully with the statement delivered by the European Union) Carlsson to New York for The Millennium Development Goals represent a common agenda to enhance and coordinate our efforts for UN high-level meeting poverty eradication and sustainable global development. The MDGs are about improving the lives of the world's poorest people; everyone's right to take an active part in shaping their own future and that of their families, communities and countries. They are about enabling people to move out of poverty and into lives of freedom and opportunities. Governments that pursue democratic development hand-in-hand with human rights stand a better chance of achieving the MDGs. The overall trend is positive. Infant and child mortality have dropped and more girls attend school. Evidence shows that the MDGs can be met if there is sufficient political will. However, despite progress we still face challenges. Millions of people suffer from hunger and lack access to safe drinking water. Climate change affects our living conditions. The poorest suffer the most. Africa is particularly hard-hit. Mr President, Sweden is deeply concerned that some MDGs are lagging behind. This is especially true of MDG5 on maternal health. It is unacceptable that hundreds of thousands of women die every year from complications related to pregnancy and childbirth. The causes of maternal mortality are well known and, in most cases, preventable.

  • Jeroen Dijsselbloem JEROEN DIJSSELBLOEM Doctor Honoris Causa Dominolaudatio Jeroen Dijsselbloem
    UNIVERSITATEA DIN BUCUREȘTI Doctor Honoris Causa Jeroen Dijsselbloem JEROEN DIJSSELBLOEM Doctor Honoris Causa dominoLaudatio Jeroen Dijsselbloem Jeroen René Victor Anton Dijsselbloem (născut la 26 martie 1966 la Eindhoven) este o personalitate europeană de prim rang, care și-a câștigat prestigiul internațional prin modul în care a condus zona euro în cei mai dificili ani ai săi – anii de după criza financiară globală. Jeroen Dijsselbloem a fost Președintele Eurogrupului – organismul care reunește JEROEN DIJSSELBLOEM miniștrii de finanțe ai statelor membre din zona euro timp de cinci ani, între ianuarie 2013 și ianuarie 2018. A fost ales în această funcție de două ori (fiecare Doctor Honoris Causa mandat fiind de doi ani și jumătate). În această calitate, a fost și Președintele Boardului Guvernatorilor Mecanismului European de Stabilitate (ESM), instituția financiară internațională creată de statele membre ale zonei euro pentru a adresa problemele țărilor membre aflate în dificultăți financiare. Sub președinția sa, Irlanda, Spania și Portugalia au implementat agenda de reforme stabilită de Eurogrup și au recâștigat accesul pe piețele internaționale. De asemenea, ESM a încheiat noi acorduri de asistență financiară pentru Cipru în 2013 și Grecia în 2015, ajutând aceste țări să depășească gravele dificultăți economice cu care se confruntau. Cipru a finalizat acordul în 2016, iar Grecia anul acesta. Se poate spune că Jeroen Dijsselbloem a contribuit la salvarea zonei euro, pentru că, sub conducerea sa, a fost evitată intrarea în incapacitate de plată a unor țări membre ale zonei euro care aveau datorii excesive, acumulate în anii dinaintea crizei. În aceste vremuri tulburi, Jeroen s-a dovedit nu doar un economist strălucit, care a readus pe linia de plutire zona euro, atunci când puțini îi dădeau șanse.
