  • 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.

  • Letter to EU Telecom and Trade Ministers and to European Commissioners Thierry Breton, Margrethe Vestager and Valdis Dombrovskis
    Letter to EU telecom and trade ministers and to European Commissioners Thierry Breton, Margrethe Vestager and Valdis Dombrovskis We, the undersigned Members of the European Parliament from five different political groups, share a common concern regarding 5G security in Europe and unfair competition between European and Chinese 5G vendors. Therefore, we send this letter to you in preparation of the upcoming informal TTE Council on 15 October, urging you to take action on the points raised. We have learnt from the COVID-19 crisis that maintaining know-how, capacity and some level of independence in critical sectors, including medical/pharmaceutical, food supplies, and utilities, i.e. energy, water and communications infrastructure is indispensable for our survival. In the area of connectivity, COVID-19 has demonstrated how vital fixed and mobile connectivity is to help fight the crisis and to keep the economy and essential services running to the extent possible. The European Commission has, already pre-crisis, launched a number of initiatives to preserve our security and sovereignty, which today prove to be more relevant than ever before. These include a renewed industrial strategy with digitization and connectivity at its heart, increased funding proposals for connectivity, cyber security and AI, the investment screening framework to avoid harmful foreign take-overs of critical EU businesses, trade policy initiatives promoting reciprocity, and more concretely, the 5G security joint risk assessment and toolbox of mitigating measures. 5G is a central element in Europe’s digital sovereignty and the EU 5G security initiative rightly has the aim of safeguarding the security of 5G as a critical infrastructure for Europe.

  • A Look at the New European Parliament Page 1 INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMITTEE (INTA)
    THE NEW EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT KEY COMMITTEE COMPOSITION 31 JULY 2019 INTRODUCTION After several marathon sessions, the European Council agreed on the line-up for the EU “top jobs” on 2 July 2019. The deal, which notably saw German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen (CDU, EPP) surprisingly designated as the next European Commission (EC) President, meant that the European Parliament (EP) could proceed with the election of its own leadership on 3 July. The EPP and Renew Europe (formerly ALDE) groups, in line with the agreement, did not present candidates for the EP President. As such, the vote pitted the S&D’s David-Maria Sassoli (IT) against two former Spitzenkandidaten – Ska Keller (DE) of the Greens and Jan Zahradil (CZ) of the ACRE/ECR, alongside placeholder candidate Sira Rego (ES) of GUE. Sassoli was elected President for the first half of the 2019 – 2024 mandate, while the EPP (presumably EPP Spitzenkandidat Manfred Weber) would take the reins from January 2022. The vote was largely seen as a formality and a demonstration of the three largest Groups’ capacity to govern. However, Zahradil received almost 100 votes (more than the total votes of the ECR group), and Keller received almost twice as many votes as there are Greens/EFA MEPs. This forced a second round in which Sassoli was narrowly elected with just 11 more than the necessary simple majority. Close to 12% of MEPs did not cast a ballot. MEPs also elected 14 Vice-Presidents (VPs): Mairead McGuinness (EPP, IE), Pedro Silva Pereira (S&D, PT), Rainer Wieland (EPP, DE), Katarina Barley (S&D, DE), Othmar Karas (EPP, AT), Ewa Kopacz (EPP, PL), Klara Dobrev (S&D, HU), Dita Charanzová (RE, CZ), Nicola Beer (RE, DE), Lívia Járóka (EPP, HU) and Heidi Hautala (Greens/EFA, FI) were elected in the first ballot, while Marcel Kolaja (Greens/EFA, CZ), Dimitrios Papadimoulis (GUE/NGL, EL) and Fabio Massimo Castaldo (NI, IT) needed the second round.

  • 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.

  • Domestic Violence During Coronavirus Pandemic
    H.E. Ursula von der Leyen President European Commission European Parliament, 11 May 2020 RE: RISE OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE DURING CORONAVIRUS EPIDEMIC Honourable President, We, undersigned members of the European Parliament are sincerely worried about the dramatic increase in domestic violence cases during the lockdown caused by the coronavirus epidemics in the member states of the European Union and beyond. We are of the conviction that both member states and the European Commission should introduce special measures to protect effective and potential victims of domestic violence. French Secretary of State for Gender Equality, Marlène Schiappa revealed that domestic violence across France increased by 32% in one week, in Paris alone it rose by as much as 36%. The French secretary of state rightly pointed out that addressing the situation has become more difficult, and even the emergency number to report domestic abuses has received fewer calls due to the fact that during quarantine “the victims are on lockdown with their abusers”. Another member state, notably the Hungarian government, used the pandemic to have the Parliament adopted a resolution in an extraordinary procedure to reject the Istanbul Convention becoming legally binding in Hungary and the European Union. Deputy Prime Minister Mr Zsolt Semjén’s argued that while the government wanted to eliminate violence, the aim of the Istanbul Convention is to eliminate the families. As you can see, the attitudes of member states can be much diverse. The rise of domestic violence, however, is a dramatic development in all of our member states. Due to the lockdown, tolerance in many families decrease, the functioning of state agencies and civil society organisations is also limited, and victims have fewer opportunities to seek for protection.
