  • COMMON STATEMENT on the US-EU WINE TRADE RELATIONSHIP June 14, 2021
    COMMON STATEMENT ON THE US-EU WINE TRADE RELATIONSHIP June 14, 2021 The EU and the US wine sectors play a critical role in supporting a vibrant transatlantic trade relationship. This sector is an essential driving force for many rural economies and for a significant number of medium and small enterprises. The undersigned deeply regret that the wine sector, as a notable industry in our two economies is sometimes caught in the crosshairs of unrelated trade disputes, causing economic damage to producers, and putting the millions of jobs that they support at risk. Consumers are also victims of those trading conflicts, which can lead to higher prices and reduced consumer choice. We urge the European Union and the US to resolve current trade disputes, to stop any related retaliatory action against wine exports, and to strengthen their bilateral partnership in order to avoid any sanctions against those sectors, including in the context of the current World Trade Organization Large Civil Aircraft Airbus-Boeing disputes. As legislators and policy makers on both sides of the Atlantic, we acknowledge the importance and benefits of strengthening this bilateral partnership. Both the U.S. and the EU are each other’s largest export markets, with the total wine trade reaching more than $5.3 billion (€4.5 billion) annually, creating jobs and investment and supporting sustainable agriculture on both sides of the Atlantic. We ask our governments to further support the economic vitality and diversity of our wine sectors by working to remove all tariffs on wine to achieve a “zero for zero” wine trade environment.

  • Factsheet: the Czech Senate
    Directorate-General for the Presidency Directorate for Relations with National Parliaments Factsheet: The Czech Senate Wallenstein Palace, seat of the Czech Senate 1. At a glance The Czech Republic is a parliamentary democracy. The Czech Parliament (Parlament České republiky) is made up of two Chambers, both directly elected – the Chamber of Deputies (Poslanecká sněmovna) and the Senate (Senát). The 81 senators in the Senate are elected for six years. Every other year one third of them are elected which makes the Senate a permanent institution that cannot be dissolved and continuously performs its work. Elections to the Senate are held by secret ballot based on universal, equal suffrage, pursuant to the principles of the majority system. Unlike the Lower Chamber, a candidate for the Senate does not need to be on a political party's ticket. Senators, like MPs have the right to take part in election of judges of the Constitutional Court, and may propose new laws. However, the Senate does not get to vote on the country budget and does not supervise the executive directly. The Senate can delay a proposed law, which was approved by the Chamber. However this veto can, with some rare exceptions, be overridden by an absolute majority of the Chamber in a repeated vote. 2. Composition Composition of Senate following the elections of 2-3 October & 9-10 October 2020 Party EP affiliation Seats Občanská demokratická strana (ODS) Civic Democratic Party 27 TOP 09 Starostové a nezávislí (STAN) Mayors and Independents 24 (some MEPs) Křesťanská a demokratická unie - Československá strana lidová (KDU-ČSL) 12 Christian-Democratic Union – Czechoslovak People's Party ANO 2011 Česká strana sociálně demokratická (ČSSD) 9 Czech Social Democratic Party Senátor 21 Senator 21 Česká pirátská strana 7 Czech Pirate Party (some MEPs) Strana zelených Green Party Non-attached 2 TOTAL 81 The next elections must take place in autumn 2022 at the latest.

  • Green Recovery Call to Action & Signatories 121
    GREENRECOVERY REBOOT & REBOOST our economies for a sustainable future Call for mobilisation The coronavirus crisis is shaking the whole world, with devastating consequences across Europe. We are being put to the test. We are suffering and mourning our losses, and this crisis is testing the limits of our system. It is also a test of our great European solidarity and of our institutions, which acted fast at the start of the crisis to deploy measures to protect us. The crisis is still ongoing, but we will see the light at the end of the tunnel, and by fighting together, we will beat the virus. Never have we faced such a challenging situation in peacetime. The fight against the pandemic is our top priority and everything that is needed to stop it and eradicate the virus must be done. We welcome and strongly support all the actions developed by governments, EU institutions, local authorities, scientists, medical staff, volunteers, citizens and economic actors. In this tremendously difficult situation, we are also facing another crisis: a shock to our economy tougher than the 2008 crisis. The major shock to the economy and workers created by the pandemic calls for a strong coordinated economic response. We therefore welcome the declaration of European leaders stating that they will do “whatever it takes” to tackle the social and economic consequences of this crisis. However, what worked for the 2008 financial crisis may not be sufficient to overcome this one. The economic recovery will only come with massive investments to protect and create jobs and to support all the companies, regions and sectors that have suffered from the economy coming to a sudden halt.

  • 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.

THE SUCCESS OF NEW POLITICAL PARTIES IN THE SLOVAK AND CZECH REPUBLIC AFTER 2010? Viera Žúborová Associate Professor University of St. Cyril and Methodius, Faculty of Social Sciences (Slovakia) Contact information Address: Namestie Jozefa Herdu 2, 917 01 Trnava, Slovakia Phone: +421 33 55 65 302 E-mail address: [email protected] Received: September 25, 2015; reviews: 2; accepted: December 28, 2015. ABSTRACT The last election in the Slovak and Czech Republic was special. It not only took place before the official electoral period (pre-elections), but new political parties were “again” successful. The article focuses not only on both elections in the last two years in a comparative perspective, but it analyses the opportunity structure of success as well, including types of new political parties (according to Lucardie). The article seeks to answer the question: why are new political parties electorally successful, able to break into parliament and even become part of a coalition government? We assume that the emergence and success of new political parties in both countries relied on the ability to promote “old” ideas in a new fashion, colloquially referred to as “new suits” or “old” ideological flows in new breeze. KEYWORDS New political parties, prophetic parties, purifiers parties, prolocutors parties - 10.1515/bjlp-2015-0020 Downloaded from De Gruyter Online at 09/13/2016 12:19:48AM via free access BALTIC JOURNAL OF LAW & POLITICS ISSN 2029-0454 VOLUME 8, NUMBER 2 2015 INTRODUCTION The research on the electoral success of new parties in Central and Eastern Europe still lacks depth.

  • Public Incentives Harmful to Biodiversity
    REPORTS & DOCUMENTS Public Incentives Harmful to Biodiversity Sustainable Development Report of the commission chaired by Guillaume Sainteny Public Incentives Harmful to Biodiversity Guillaume Sainteny Chairman Jean-Michel Salles Vice-Chairman Peggy Duboucher, Géraldine Ducos, Vincent Marcus, Erwan Paul Rapporteurs Dominique Auverlot, Jean-Luc Pujol Coordinators October 2011 March 2015 for the English version Foreword Public debate has sometimes tended to equate preservation of biodiversity with the emblematic fate of certain endangered species. We now know the importance of protecting fauna and flora as a whole, not only in certain “hotspots” upon the earth, but even in our local meadows and lawns. Of course, this involves not only the variety of species – and thereby the planet’s genetic heritage –, but also the many interactions between the latter (through pollination, predation and symbiosis) and the full scope of “services rendered” to mankind. For even though we are not always aware of it, mankind benefits from the immense services freely provided by ecosystems. This is the source from which we draw our food, as well as fuel and building materials. Apart from these “appropriable” goods, biodiversity enables the purification of water, climate stabilisation and mitigation, and the regulation of floods, droughts and epidemics. In short, biodiversity is vital for us. Yet, throughout the world, an increasingly rapid rate of decline in biodiversity has been observed for several decades, giving rise to fears of serious upheavals in our
