  • Irene Tinagli (S&D)
    (English version) Question for written answer E-003192/20 to the Commission Pina Picierno (S&D), Irene Tinagli (S&D), Patrizia Toia (S&D), Massimiliano Smeriglio (S&D), Elisabetta Gualmini (S&D), Pierfrancesco Majorino (S&D), Giuliano Pisapia (S&D), Paolo De Castro (S&D), Alessandra Moretti (S&D) (26 May 2020) Subject: Facebook shuts down profile of journalist Mariano Giustino Mariano Giustino is a freelance Italian journalist who, since 2004, has covered Turkey's domestic and foreign policy (he has lived there since 2010), its relations with Europe and the geopolitical importance of Turkey’s Kurdish minority. On 16 April 2020, Facebook — without warning or justification — shut down the journalist’s personal profile after he posted a story about members of the terrorist organisation ‘Grey Wolves’ being released from prison as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Shutting down his profile means archiving an informed first-hand account of recent events in Turkey. The act deprives Europe of knowledge from a source who often reports on historical events before the national and international media. The shutdown also suggests a tangible threat to his personal and professional safety, since, in Turkey, such acts are often performed under pressure from the authorities and are a harbinger of harsher repression to come. Can the Commission clarify: 1. whether it is aware of these facts; 2. what measures it intends to take to address the growing media censorship in Turkey; and 3. what measures it intends to take to address the influence of authoritarian regimes on social networks? Answer given by Mr Várhelyi on behalf of the European Commission (4 August 2020) The Commission is aware of the situation mentioned by the Honourable Members.

  • Brussels, 23 April 2021 Open Letter Concerning European Commitment
    Brussels, 23 April 2021 Open letter concerning European commitment to end homelessness at the Porto Social Summit Dear President of the European Council Michel, Dear Prime Minister Costa, Dear Members of the European Council, Dear Members of the Employment and Social Affairs Council, In its Communication on the Action Plan on the European Pillar of Social Rights, the European Commission rightly states that the number of homeless people has risen sharply and is currently unacceptably high. The European Commission also refers to the fact that the European Parliament and stakeholders want the EU to set an objective to end homelessness by 2030, which was most recently called for in the report on ‘Access to Decent and Affordable Housing’. As Nicolas Schmit, European Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights, Ana Mendes Godinho, Minister of Labour, Solidarity and Social Security in Portugal, and Yves Leterme, Goodwill Ambassador for the Fight against Homelessness in Europe, jointly stated in June 20201: “Though complex, homelessness is not insurmountable and can be overcome. Ending homelessness requires resolute action addressing its root causes, and investing in prevention and empowerment strategies. The European Union also has an important role to play: it can rally all interested stakeholders around a shared goal, galvanise the political commitment of Member States, facilitate exchange of best practice and support the scale-up of evidence-based policies via the EU budget.” While we welcome the proposal for an EU Platform on Combatting Homelessness and the High Level Conference on it as important steps for putting homelessness on the European agenda and supporting Member States’ actions, we regret that the European Commission did not include a shared European goal to reduce and ultimately end homelessness as a sub-target of the poverty reduction target in the action plan.

  • Brussels, 15Th October 2020 Ursula Von Der Leyen, President European
    Brussels, 15th October 2020 Ursula von der Leyen, President European Commission Rue de la Loi / Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels Charles Michel, President European Council Rue de la Loi / Wetstraat 175 1048 Brussels Subject: (Re)asserting the commitment to the Istanbul Convention Honourable President Ursula von der Leyen, Honourable President Charles Michel, Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence (hereafter Istanbul Convention) is the first universally binding treaty that explicitly defines gender-based violence, especially against women and girls, as illegal. A complete ratification by all the Member States as well as EU’s accession would be a moment of historic prominence, both for the relevance of the treaty and gender equality and fight against gender-based violence in the EU. Almost a year after the election of the current European Commission, there is still a strong statement of then candidate for the Commission President resonating within the European Parliament: “We also need to talk openly about violence against women. If 1 in 5 women have already suffered physical or sexual violence in the European Union and 55% of women have been sexually harassed, this is clearly not a women's issue. I will propose to add violence against women on the list of EU crimes defined in the Treaty. And the European Union should join the Istanbul Convention.” Additionally, the Gender Equality Strategy marks a new era in the fight for gender equality with a specific focus on eliminating gender-based violence, thus stating: “the ‘Istanbul Convention’ – is the benchmark for international standards in this field.
