Leadership Européen BLOG POST LEADERSHIP EUROPÉEN | 22/05/2019 | DEMOCRACIE ET CITOYENNETÉ Nous voulons un leadership européen qui reflète l’Europe. Toute l’Europe. Les femmes également. Les élections au Parlement européen ont lieu [la semaine prochaine] dans toute l’Europe. Dans tous les États membres de l’UE, les femmes et les hommes iront voter. Nous espérons que vous irez voter et formulerez un vote qui mette les hommes et les femmes sur un pied d’égalité au sein d’un Parlement européen représentatif de notre société. Une juste représentation de notre société est dans l’intérêt de tous. Ce n’est pas un sujet purement féminin. Pourtant, certains agissent encore comme si les femmes étaient minoritaires. Nous ne le sommes pas. Nous ne devrions pas être minoritaires lorsqu’il s’agit de déterminer notre leadership européen. Aidez-nous à faire en sorte que les nouveaux dirigeants européens soient à parité de genres. Il est temps que nous ayons une Commission européenne équilibrée entre les hommes et les femmes. Le même nombre de femmes et d’hommes parmi les commissaires. Le même nombre de femmes et d’hommes au sein de l’equipe du président et des vice- présidents. Et autant de femmes que d’hommes à la tête des institutions européennes. C’est maintenant. Faites en sorte que cela se produise. Votez. #BalancedEurope #BalancedEurope Supporters Vytenis Andriukaitis, European Commissioner for Elżbieta Bieńkowska, European Commissioner for Health and Food Safety Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs Dimitris Avramopoulos, European Commissioner for Miguel Arias Cañete, European Commissioner for Migration, Home Affairs and Citizenship Climate Action and Energy Annalena Baerbock, Member of the German Bundestag, Anna Maria Corazza Bildt, Member of the European Chairwoman of the Green Party Nicola Beer, Lead Parliament Candidate of FDP, Member of the German Bundestag Emma Bonino, Lead Candidate of Più Europa, former Pervenche Berès, Member of the European Parliament European Commissioner 1 ▪ 2 Stine Bosse, President, European Movement Denmark Federica Mogherini, High Representative of the Union Franziska Brantner, Member of the German Bundestag for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Vice-President, European Commission Violeta Bulc, European Commissioner for Transport Mario Monti, former Prime Minister, Italy, former Katalin Cseh, Lead Candidate of Momentum European Commissioner Nico Cué, Lead Candidate of the European Left Party Pierre Moscovici, European Commissioner for Alexander De Croo, Deputy Prime Minister, Belgium Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs Bas Eickhout, Lead Candidate of the Greens/EFA, Emma Navarro, Vice-President, European Investment Member of the European Parliament Olafur Eliasson, Bank Artist Maite Pagazaurtundúa, Member of the European Meta Foldager, Executive Producer and CEO, Meta Film Parliament Martha Lane Fox, Founder and Chair, Doteveryone Geneviève Pons, Director, Institut Jacques Delors Maria Laura Franciosi, Founding Chair, Press Club Brussels Brussels Romano Prodi, former President, European Lieve Fransen, Senior Policy Advisor, former Director, Commission, former Prime Minister, Italy European Commission Conny Reuter, Secretary-General, Solidar Luis Garicano, Lead Candidate of Ciudadanos Mary Robinson, former President, Ireland, former UN Ana Gomes, Member of the European Parliament High Commissioner for Human Rights Arancha González, Executive Director, International Maroš Šefčovič, Vice-President for Energy Union, Trade Centre European Commission Sandro Gozi, Member of the Italian Parliament Nina Smith, Professor in Economics, Aarhus University Tarja Halonen, former President, Finland Christos Stylianides, European Commissioner for Shada Islam, Director for Europe & Geopolitics, Friends Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management of Europe Janne Teller, Author Věra Jourová, European Commissioner for Justice, Helle Thorning-Schmidt, CEO, Save the Children, former Consumers and Gender Equality Prime Minister, Denmark Jyrki Katainen, Vice-President for Jobs, Growth, Marianne Thyssen, European Commissioner for Investment and Competitiveness, European Employment, Social Affairs, Skills and Labour Mobility Commission Frans Timmermans, First Vice-President, in charge of Ska Keller, Lead Candidate and Co-President of the Better Regulation, Interinstitutional Relations, the Rule of Greens/EFA, Member of the European Parliament Law and the Charter of Fundamental Rights, European Silvana Koch-Mehrin, President and Founder, Women Commission Political Leaders Violeta Tomic, Lead Candidate of the European Left Eva Kruse, President and CEO, Global Fashion Agenda Party and Copenhagen Fashion Summit Philippe Lamberts, Jutta Urpilainen, former Minister of Finance, Finland Group leader of the Greens/EFA, Member of the Veerle Vandeweerd, former Director, UNDP European Parliament Sophie in ‘t Veld, Member of the European Parliament Pascal Lamy, President, Paris Peace Forum Karmenu Vella, European Commissioner for Gwendoline Lefebvre, President, European Women’s Environment, Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Lobby Guy Verhofstadt, Lead Candidate of Open VLD, Member Isabella Lenarduzzi, Founder and Managing Partner, of the European Parliament, former Prime Minister, Jump Belgium Enrico Letta, former Prime Minister, Italy, President of Margrethe Vestager, European Commissioner for the Institut Jacques Delors Competition Ann Linde, Minister for Foreign Trade, Sweden Margot Wallström, Minister for Foreign Affairs, Sweden Irene Lozano, Secretary of State, Global Spain Manfred Weber, Lead Candidate of the European Cecilia Malmström, European Commissioner for Trade People’s Party (EPP), Member of the European Joanna Maycock, Secretary-General, European Parliament Women’s Lobby Eva Witt, Director, KfW Neven Mimica, European Commissioner for Jan Zahradil, Lead Candidate of the Alliance of International Cooperation and Development Francisco Conservatives and Reformists in Europe (ACRE), Mingorance, Director, Europa Insights Member of the European Parliament 2 ▪ 2.

  • 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.

  • Understanding the Spitzenkandidaten Process
    BRIEFING Election of the President of the European Commission Understanding the Spitzenkandidaten process SUMMARY The European Parliament has long sought to ensure that, by voting in European elections, European citizens not only elect the Parliament itself, but also have a say over who would head the EU executive – the European Commission. What became known as the 'Spitzenkandidaten process' is a procedure whereby European political parties, ahead of European elections, appoint lead candidates for the role of Commission President, with the presidency of the Commission then going to the candidate of the political party capable of marshalling sufficient parliamentary support. The Parliament remains firmly committed to repeating the process in 2019 and, with EP elections now only weeks away, attention has shifted to the European political parties. A number of parties have nominated lead candidates, and this briefing gives an overview of their nominees, as well as looking more broadly at the process. This is a revised and further updated edition of an earlier briefing; previous edition from February 2019. Lead candidates of the six European political parties due to participate in the Eurovision debate, to be held in Parliament’s Brussels hemicycle, on 15 May 2019. EPRS | European Parliamentary Research Service Author: Laura Tilindyte Members' Research Service PE 630.264 – April 2019 EN EPRS | European Parliamentary Research Service The 2019 elections: European political parties It is widely acknowledged that the European political parties will play a crucial role for the future of the Spitzenkandidaten procedure. In this respect, commentators consistently point to the daunting and, before 2014, unprecedented challenge of a multilingual, continent-wide campaign in 27 or 28 countries, each with their own political culture and sensitivities.1 The Commission has made recommendations (February 2018) in this regard, suggesting, for example, earlier selection of the lead candidates (ideally by the end of 2018), leaving more time for the campaign.

  • Drucksache 19/4587 19
    Deutscher Bundestag Drucksache 19/4587 19. Wahlperiode 27.09.2018 Kleine Anfrage der Abgeordneten Bettina Stark-Watzinger, Alexander Müller, Dr. Stefan Ruppert, Nicola Beer, Till Mansmann, Dr. Hermann Otto Solms, Grigorios Aggelidis, Jens Beeck, Dr. Jens Brandenburg (Rhein-Neckar), Otto Fricke, Katrin Helling-Plahr, Markus Herbrand, Olaf in der Beek, Ulrich Lechte, Stephan Thomae, Dr. Florian Toncar und der Fraktion der FDP Ultranet-Trasse in Hessen Die vorhandenen Netzengpässe (www.iwd.de/artikel/teure-engpaesse-im-stromnetz- 397063/) erfordern einen Ausbau der Übertragungsnetze für Strom. Dabei müs- sen neben den Kosten auch die Akzeptanz der betroffenen Bürgerinnen und Bür- ger berücksichtigt werden. Ultranet ist eine geplante Hochspannungs-Gleich- strom-Übertragungsleitung. Strom soll über eine Strecke von etwa 340 Kilome- tern transportiert werden und die Stromversorgung in Süddeutschland sicherstel- len. Dabei durchquert die geplante Trasse u. a. hessische Regionen. Federführend ist die Amprion GmbH als zuständiger Übertragungsnetzbetreiber (www.amprion. net/Netzausbau/Aktuelle-Projekte/Ultranet/). Insbesondere im Rheingau-Taunus und im Main-Taunus-Kreis wächst Widerstand gegen die Planung (vgl. www.faz. net/aktuell/rhein-main/widerstand-gegen-ultranet-trasse-der-bundesnetzagentur- 15754706.html). Wir fragen die Bundesregierung: 1. Wie ist es aus Sicht der Bundesregierung zu rechtfertigen, dass Gleichstrom- Hochspannungs-Leitungen in Deutschland grundsätzlich in Erdverkabelung ausgeführt werden sollen, die Ultranet-Leitung (Vorhaben Nummer 2 der Bundesfachplanung) jedoch oberirdisch verlegt werden soll? 2. Ist der Bundesregierung bekannt, dass die für die Verwendung von Ultranet geplante Alttrasse sehr dicht an bestehender Wohnbebauung verläuft und an einigen Stellen einen Abstand von weniger als 20 Meter zu Wohnräumen hat? Falls dies der Bundesregierung nicht bekannt war und sie dies durch Nach- prüfung feststellen wird, hat dies Auswirkungen auf die weitere Bundesfach- planung? 3.

  • Geschäftsbericht Der FDP 2015–2017
    Geschäftsbericht der FDP 2015–2017 Das Jahr der Bewährung vorbereiten Liebe Freunde der Freiheit, 2014 hielt jeder die Freien Demokraten für eine stinkende Leiche. Nach den ersten Erfolgen im Jahr 2015 verfemten uns viele als eine hohle Konserve mit sehr, sehr bunter Verpackung. Nach weiteren Erfolgen im Jahr 2016 meinten einige, die Liberalen seien der nützliche Idiot, der jeder beliebigen Regierung die fehlenden Stimmen verschafft. Doch die neu aufgestellten Freien Demokraten haben sehr sorgfältig abgewogen, wo sie sich in einer Regierung erfolgreich engagieren und wo nicht. Jetzt befinden wir uns im Jahr 2017, auf das wir uns in all diesen Jahren vorbereitet haben. Wir haben gezeigt, dass wir nichts von alledem sind, was uns andere nachsagen. Wir werden beweisen, dass wir in erster Linie eines sind: Die starke Stimme für mehr Chancen durch mehr Freiheit in den Parlamenten der Bundesrepublik Deutschland – einschließlich des Deutschen Bundestages. Im Geschäftsbericht lässt sich ablesen, dass zwei Dinge im Mittelpunkt der Arbeit standen: Die Vorbereitung auf die Bundestagswahl durch Programmentwurf und Kampagnenplanungen sowie die weitere Verwirklichung unserer Erfolgsformel: „Jeder Wahlkampf ist ein Wahlkampf der Gesamtpartei!“ Die Wahlkämpfe seit 2015 waren Gemeinschaftsproduktionen aus den Wahlkämpfern vor Ort in den Orts-, Kreis-, Bezirks- und Landesverbänden sowie der Bundespartei. Dadurch ist es gelungen, neue Arbeitstechniken und die reibungslose Koordination zwischen den Ebenen einzuüben. Das hat den Team-Geist auf allen Ebenen gestärkt. Daher können wir guten Gewissens schon jetzt eines sagen: Die Freien Demokraten werden als motivierte und geschlossene Truppe antreten, während bei allen anderen Parteien viel Verunsicherung und interner Streit besteht. So gut die Kampagne auch geplant sein wird, kann sie jedoch eines nie ersetzen: Das persönliche Bekenntnis unserer Mitglieder und Anhänger für die Freien Demokraten im Kreise von Familie, Freunden und Arbeitskollegen.

  • Geschäftsbericht 2019 – 2021 (PDF)
    2019BIS 2021 GESCHÄFTSBERICHT Wir sind Freie Demokraten. Wir glauben, dass Deutschland jetzt einen Neustart braucht. Wir glauben, dass es moderner, digitaler und freier werden muss. Wir glauben an das große DER Potenzial unseres Landes. Wir sind bereit, Verantwortung dafür zu übernehmen. FREIEN DEMOKRATEN Liebe Parteifreundinnen und Parteifreunde, liebe Freunde und Verbündete der Freien Demokraten, die besonderen Zeiten, die den Zeitraum dieses Geschäftsberichts prägen, manifestieren sich nicht zuletzt im anstehenden Bundes- parteitag: Zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte der FDP findet er digital statt. Bereits der Bundesparteitag im Jahr 2020 wurde von der Michael Zimmermann Corona-Pandemie beeinflusst: Gemeinsam haben wir – ebenfalls erstmalig – erfolgreich einen hybriden Bundesparteitag durchgeführt. Dennoch freue ich 2019 mich schon jetzt sehr darauf, bald wieder einen Parteitag in Präsenz veranstalten zu können. Auch politisch war der Berichtszeitraum von besonderen Herausforderungen geprägt. Die größte Stärke der Freien Demokraten war dabei eine stabilisierende Konstante: Hoch motivierte und engagierte Mitglieder, die sich ehrenamtlich in Gremien wie Bundesfachausschüssen eingebracht, die sich in großer Zahl an der Weiterentwicklung unseres Leitbildes Anfang 2020 beteiligt und die durch ihre Mitarbeit an unserem Entwurf für das Bundestagswahlprogramm die programmatische Aufstellung der FDP geprägt haben. Herzlichen Dank dafür! Mit der zügigen Einrichtung von digitalen Ortsverbänden, Fachausschüssen und einer Wahl-Software für Untergliederungen, mit neuen Mitmach-Formaten wie „Neu@FDP“ für Neumitglieder und „Wir@FDP“ als Schulungsangebot sowie mit weiteren Investitionen in die Digitalisierung konnten wir zur Modernisierung der Parteiarbeit beitragen – auch und gerade in Pandemie-Zeiten. Unsere Position als Digitalpartei Nr. 1, wie sie uns in einer Analyse der Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung bescheinigt wurde, wollen wir in Zukunft nicht nur halten, sondern noch weiter ausbauen.
