  • Declaración Del Parlamento Europeo Sobre La Fibromialgia
    C 46 E/46 ES Diario Oficial de la Unión Europea 24.2.2010 Martes, 13 de enero de 2009 Fibromialgia P6_TA(2009)0014 Declaración del Parlamento Europeo sobre la fibromialgia (2010/C 46 E/07) El Parlamento Europeo, — Visto el artículo 116 de su Reglamento, A. Considerando que cerca de 14 millones de personas en la Unión Europea y entre el 1 y el 3 % de la población mundial total sufre de fibromialgia, un síndrome debilitante que causa dolores crónicos generalizados, B. Considerando que, aunque la Organización Mundial de la Salud reconoció la fibromialgia como enfer­ medad ya en 1992, esta patología no está incluida en el índice oficial de patologías en la UE, lo cual impide a los pacientes obtener un diagnóstico oficial, C. Considerando que las personas que sufren de fibromialgia acuden con más frecuencia al médico de cabe­ cera, son remitidos con mayor frecuencia a especialistas, reciben más certificados de baja por enfermedad y son hospitalizados con mayor frecuencia, lo que genera una carga económica considerable para la UE, D. Considerando que los pacientes de fibromialgia tienen que luchar por llevar una vida plena e indepen­ diente, a menos que tengan acceso a un tratamiento y un apoyo adecuados, 1. Pide al Consejo y a la Comisión que: — desarrollen una estrategia comunitaria sobre la fibromialgia con objeto de que esta patología sea recono­ cido como enfermedad; — contribuyan a la sensibilización sobre esta patología y faciliten el acceso a la información para profesio­ nales y pacientes, apoyando las campañas de la UE y nacionales de sensibilización; — alienten a los Estados miembros a mejorar el acceso al diagnóstico y al tratamiento; — promuevan la investigación sobre la fibromialgia mediante los programas de trabajo del Séptimo Programa Marco de Investigación y Desarrollo Tecnológico y futuros programas de investigación; — promuevan el desarrollo de programas para la recopilación de datos sobre la fibromialgia; 2.

  • Der Halbierte Demos
    Klaus Höpcke Der halbierte Demos Nach der Europa-Wahl: Parteiensystem delegitimiert? Wie gehen wir mit PDS-Wahlergebnissen um: Erfreut? Nüchtern? Fragen wir: Warum nicht sieben Prozent? TEXTE & ARGUMENTE (Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung in Thüringen) Thüringer Forum für Bildung und Wissenschaft e.V. 2 KLAUS HÖPCKE Von 26,5 Millionen Bürgerinnen und Bürgern der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, die am 13. Juni 2004 an der Wahl der Abgeordneten des Europa-Parlaments teil- genommen haben, was einer Wahlbeteiligung von 43 % entspricht, gaben andert- halb Millionen (genau: 1.579.693) ihre Stimme den auf einer offenen Liste ange- tretenen Kandidatinnen und Kandidaten der PDS. Das ergab einen Anteil von 6,1 % an den abgegebenen 25.780.773 gültigen Stimmen. Damit gehören dem Europäischen Parlament statt bisher sechs künftig sieben Politikerinnen und Politiker an, die das Europa-Wahlprogramm der Partei des Demokratischen Sozialismus vertreten. Es sind dies: Sylvia-Yvonne Kaufmann, Helmuth Markov, Gabi Zimmer, Tobias Pflüger, Sahra Wagenknecht, André Brie, Feleknas Uca. Wahlenthaltung einer 57-Prozent-Mehrheit Bevor wir uns den PDS-Wahlergebnissen im einzelnen zuwenden, halten wir ei- nen Augenblick bei der Wahlbeteiligung inne: Eine Mehrheit von 57 % der Wahl- berechtigten hat nicht gewählt. In der Zeitschrift „DeutschlandArchiv“ (Heft 4/2004, Seiten 556–560) wertet Hans-Georg Golz, Bonn, in einem Kommentar unter der Überschrift „Zeit des Abstrafens“ die drastische Wahlenthaltung als das gravierendste Ergebnis der Juni-Wahlen 2004. Damit hat er meines Erachtens recht. Mir scheint aber, aus dieser Tatsache ergeben sich grundsätzlichere Fragen, als er sie stellt. Die Vorstellung von der Legitimität, der politischen Rechtmäßigkeit eines de- mokratischen Staats beruht auf der Annahme, in ihm bestimme das Volk, wer ge- wählt wird und wer nicht; dem gemäß gehe die Staatsgewalt vom Volk aus.

Het is uw parlement, waarin de door u rechtstreeks gekozen Parlementsleden uw belangen behartigen en onze gezamen- lijke toekomst voor een groot deel mee bepalen. De Europese volksvertegenwoordiging is sinds de beginjaren van het Europese eenwordingsproces uitgegroeid van een assemblee met alleen een adviserende stem tot het Europees Parlement zoals we het nu kennen. Het staat nu als wetgever op voet van gelijkheid met de Raad van Ministers, waarin de regeringen van de lidstaten vertegenwoordigd zijn. De Par- lementsleden hebben met succes gestreden voor het recht om mee te beslissen over de begroting van de Europese Unie. Verder speelt het Parlement een belangrijke rol bij de benoeming van de Europese Commissie, die alleen met zijn 3 goedkeuring aan de slag kan gaan. Na zijn ambtsaanvaarding wordt de Commissie, het uitvoerende orgaan van de EU, voortdurend door het Europees Parlement gecontroleerd.
