  • Brussels, 24 February 2021
    Brussels, 24 February 2021 Declaration from Members of the European Parliament to urge the Commission and Member States not to block the TRIPS waiver at the WTO and to support global access to COVID-19 vaccines We, Members of the European Parliament, urge the European Commission and the European Council to review their opposition to the TRIPS waiver proposal at the World Trade Organisation (WTO), which serves to enable greater access to affordable COVID-19 health technologies, including vaccines, in particular for developing and middle income countries. This call comes in view of the European Council meeting of 25 February 2021 and the crucial decision to be made by all Member States at the WTO General Council on 1-2 March 2021. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the need to ensure global open access to COVID-19 health technologies and to rapidly scale up their manufacturing and supply has been widely acknowledged. However, despite efforts and statements made by the European Commission and several heads of state in support of treating COVID-19 medical products as global public goods, this has not yet translated into actionable realities. In this context, the EU’s open opposition to the TRIPS waiver risks exacerbating a dangerous North-South divide when it comes to affordable access to COVID-19 diagnostics, personal protective equipment, treatments and vaccines. The WTO decision on a potential waiver offers a crucial and much-needed act of effective solidarity, as it is an important step towards increasing local production in partner countries and, ultimately, suppressing this pandemic on a global scale.

Vote: June’s plenary EPP, ECR, ID and Renew’s refusal to vote on a resolution on the TRIPS waiver next week is irresponsible. Because of their veto, the Parliament won’t have any official position before the next WTO meeting, dedicated to intellectual property rights on vaccines. So much time has already been lost: we cannot postpone this crucial decision while thousands of people die every day because of the worldwide shortage of vaccines. Once again, the right is showing it only serves the interests of Big Pharma and lobbies. Manu Pineda – EU strategy towards Israel-Palestine Debate: Tuesday We strongly condemn all of the ongoing attempts by the Israeli authorities to evict Palestinian families in Sheikh Jarrah and other areas of East Jerusalem. The airstrikes must stop. The EU has clearly stated that such actions are illegal under international humanitarian law, and will only serve to fuel tensions on the ground. We also call on the urgent release of the Spanish aid worker Juana Ruiz, who has been arbitrarily detained and imprisoned.

  • Joint Statement: Europe and Poland Must Stop Turów’S Negative Impacts and Bring Water and Climate Justice
    Joint statement: Europe and Poland must stop Turów’s negative impacts and bring water and climate justice The undersigned NGOs, Members of the European Parliament, Members of Parliament and local authorities urge the European Commission, the International Commission for the Protection of the Odra River, and the government of Poland to stop the Turów mine’s transnational water grab and defend people from destructive coal extraction. At the Polish border with the Czech Republic and Germany, the Turów open-pit lignite mine is draining water resources and leaving entire villages dry. The mine is currently operating under a six-year mining licence extension obtained without public participation and a proper environmental impact assessment. Since May 2020, the mine has therefore worked illegally. The Polish state-owned company PGE threatens to expand the mine and re-license its operation until 2044. If this happens, thousands of people may lose access to water, amid a global health and climate crisis, and in a blatant violation of EU laws. The expansion of the Turów mine is incompatible with the Water Framework Directive (WFD), as it would cause inadmissible deterioration of water bodies, as well as the Environmental Liability Directive, the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive and the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Directive. EU laws are agreed to protect people, communities and public goods, but they are useless if they are not enforced. Poland is responsible for implementing EU laws on its national territories, and ensuring they are respected. As the “Guardian of the Treaties”, the European Commission must intervene where citizens’ rights are violated, and hold member state governments accountable.

  • Letter to President Tajani 21062018.Pdf
    Member of the European Parliament Bruxelles, 21st of June 2018 Honourable President Tajani, The rise of intolerance seems to be the distinguishing feature of current times in Europe. In each of our countries, we can find multiple examples of imaginary enemies created by the propaganda of certain parties that prefer to deflect their hatred toward others rather than come up with meaningful answers to the problems faced by their people. Immigrants from Eastern Europe, refugees and migrants, and the Roma people have all been the victim of such bigotry. Dear President Tajani, you will certainly be aware of the statements made by the Italian Minister of the Interior, who spoke of a "census" for the Roma people, which is only one of the most recent examples of the discriminatory and racist actions taken by European politicians. Furthermore it is impossible to forget the legacy of 1930s and '40s. We cannot, and must not allow this to happen again. Independently from a particular political position or party preference, there must be no place for racial discrimination, hatred or division in politics. European Union was born after the tragedies of two World Wars and the millions who were murdered because of their differences. Consequently, the European Parliament simply cannot stand by idly as Ministers in a European country resort to the kind of rhetoric that drives hatred. In light of these worrying developments, we the undersigned, call for an official written declaration reiterating the key values of our shared institution, and the EU’s core principle, of unity in diversity. The Parliament must make it clear that there is no room for racism, hatred or fear of diversity on its own horizon.

  • 1 EU Commissioner for Home Affairs Ylva Johansson Brussels, 30
    EU Commissioner for Home Affairs Ylva Johansson Brussels, 30 October 2020 Dear Commissioner Johansson, It has been nearly two months since the fire in Moria left more than 12,000 persons destitute and the response from Greece, the EU and member states has been pitiful. Whilst responding to urgent needs warranted setting up a temporary camp on Lesvos, we now risk seeing this temporary solution turning into a permanent one. But, based on the account of refugees themselves and experienced service providers, the conditions in the new camp are worse than the conditions in Moria. Almost 8,000 people – mostly families with children – have been forced to live in tents and face dire living conditions. Rapid protection assessments1 carried out at the end of September identified numerous risks to the people living in the camp. These include limited access to food with reports of residents fainting out of hunger, inadequate measures against Covid-19 as well as no drainage nor sewerage system on site, with only one toilet being shared by twenty people and no access for persons with physical disabilities. Due to a lack of running water, residents are forced to wash themselves in the sea – this raises a risk to children who could drown. This lack of sanitary facilities coupled with the insufficient lighting exposes women to an increased risk of sexual and gender-based violence. Residents are unable to access health services or legal aid. Children have no access to education and truly risk becoming a lost generation. We are increasingly concerned that the camp, located by the beach, will not withstand the against adverse weather conditions, such as strong wind and rain.
