Question for written answer E-002666/2020 to the Council Rule 138 Marie-Pierre Vedrenne, Stéphane Bijoux, Gilles Boyer, Sylvie Brunet, Catherine Chabaud, Jérémy Decerle, Laurence Farreng, Sandro Gozi, Christophe Grudler, Pierre Karleskind, Fabienne Keller, Irène Tolleret, Véronique Trillet-Lenoir, Stéphanie Yon-Courtin Subject: Reciprocity and access to public procurement markets According to the Commission, over half of the public procurement markets around the world are closed to international competition, while the EU’s public procurement markets, worth close to EUR 352 billion, are open to competition. In 2012, and then again in 2016, the Commission proposed an International Procurement Instrument (IPI). The document is blocked at present, in spite of the European Council’s call on 21 March 2019 for discussions to start again. The IPI would help achieve reciprocity in access to public procurement markets and play a part in ensuring fair competition for EU businesses. At the same time, the World Trade Organization’s (WTO) Government Procurement Agreement (GPA), to which the EU is a party, aims at open, fair and transparent competition in government procurement. Nonetheless, only 48 states have become members, Can the Council answer the following: 1. What steps will be taken to break the deadlock over the file on the International Procurement Instrument and ensure full reciprocity in access to public procurement markets? 2. 2. What recommendations will it make concerning WTO reform in order to reinforce the GPA and demand reciprocity? 3. 3. Will it call on the Commission to propose legislation granting a preference to EU businesses when EU public procurement contracts are granted, as certain non-EU countries do already?

Lettre Conjointe De 1.080 Parlementaires De 25 Pays Européens Aux Gouvernements Et Dirigeants Européens Contre L'annexion De La Cisjordanie Par Israël
Lettre conjointe de 1.080 parlementaires de 25 pays européens aux gouvernements et dirigeants européens contre l'annexion de la Cisjordanie par Israël 23 juin 2020 Nous, parlementaires de toute l'Europe engagés en faveur d'un ordre mondial fonde ́ sur le droit international, partageons de vives inquietudeś concernant le plan du president́ Trump pour le conflit israeló -palestinien et la perspective d'une annexion israélienne du territoire de la Cisjordanie. Nous sommes profondement́ preoccuṕ eś par le preć edent́ que cela creerait́ pour les relations internationales en geń eral.́ Depuis des decennies,́ l'Europe promeut une solution juste au conflit israeló -palestinien sous la forme d'une solution a ̀ deux Etats,́ conformement́ au droit international et aux resolutionś pertinentes du Conseil de securit́ e ́ des Nations unies. Malheureusement, le plan du president́ Trump s'ecarté des parametres̀ et des principes convenus au niveau international. Il favorise un controlê israelień permanent sur un territoire palestinien fragmente,́ laissant les Palestiniens sans souverainete ́ et donnant feu vert a ̀ Israel̈ pour annexer unilateralement́ des parties importantes de la Cisjordanie. Suivant la voie du plan Trump, la coalition israelienné recemment́ composeé stipule que le gouvernement peut aller de l'avant avec l'annexion des̀ le 1er juillet 2020. Cette decisioń sera fatale aux perspectives de paix israeló -palestinienne et remettra en question les normes les plus fondamentales qui guident les relations internationales, y compris la Charte des Nations unies. Nous sommes profondement́ preoccuṕ eś par l'impact de l'annexion sur la vie des Israelienś et des Palestiniens ainsi que par son potentiel destabilisateuŕ dans la regioń aux portes de notre continent.

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.

Armons L'europe Contre Des Dérives Autoritaires
APPEL Armons l’Europe contre des dérives autoritaires L’Europe, berceau des droits de l’Homme, de la liberté et de la démocratie, a de tout temps promu ses valeurs bien au-delà de ses frontières. Parlement européen, Conseil de l’Europe, États, tous défendent ces principes universels et appellent les pays du monde à les respecter. Mais aujourd’hui, notre continent inquiète. Le vrai visage des populistes Des leaders politiques profitent aujourd’hui d’une situation sanitaire inédite pour s’arroger des pouvoirs disproportionnés et illimités dans le temps. En Pologne, le chef de la majorité ultraconservatrice PiS a tenté un coup de force au Parlement pour maintenir l’élection présidentielle en mai en proposant de généraliser le vote par correspondance. Une proposition finalement rejetée après plusieurs semaines de protestations des partis d’opposition et de la société civile. Le président sortant Andrzej Duda, en campagne pour sa réélection, profite de l'épidémie pour exister seul dans les médias. En Hongrie, le premier ministre Viktor Orban a fait adopter une loi d’exception invraisemblable, lui conférant les pleins pouvoirs pour une période indéfinie. Point d’orgue, c’est à l’exécutif, donc Orban lui-même, de décider le moment opportun pour lever ces pouvoirs extraordinaires. Aucun dirigeant n'a besoin d’une telle concentration des pouvoirs. Ces dernières années, des régimes populistes ont accédé au pouvoir dans nos villes, nos régions, et jusqu’au sommet de l’État, avec de belles promesses. Nous observons, sans surprise et avec amertume, que ce sont à présent ces régimes qui bafouent les principes fondamentaux sur lesquels repose notre société : les libertés, la démocratie, l’État de droit.
