  • Fighting for Human Rights Has Been a Guiding Principle Throughout My Life and Career and I Want to Commit My Passion and Energy to FRA
    1. Could you describe the reasons of your application for the post and why you consider yourself suitable for the post? Fighting for human rights has been a guiding principle throughout my life and career and I want to commit my passion and energy to FRA. While some may take fundamental rights in Europe for granted, data shows there is still much work to be done. High levels of anti-Semitism, discrimination against Roma and persons with disabilities, violence against women and LGBTI people, violation of children’s rights, racism and hate speech and discrimination based on race or religion are just some examples. To ensure that fundamental rights can become a reality for all in the EU, we need to further increase the impact and visibility of FRA's work. A lawyer by education, I started my career in the European Commission's external relations DG. Later I had the privilege of working on the historical accession of the new Member States to the EU as cabinet member and later Spokeswoman for Commissioner Van den Broek. The Commission’s reporting on the Copenhagen criteria, including on human rights, was a crucial element supporting transition, also by strengthening local actors to advocate for change. In 1999, I was elected to the European Parliament, where I served, inter alia, as vice-president of the Justice and Civil Liberties Committee. After a term in the Dutch national parliament - where I was spokeswoman on justice, police, terrorism, human rights and equal opportunities - I served as chief of staff to the President of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

    Congrestoespraak Lousewies van der Laan 7 oktober 2006, 15:00 Toespraak van Lousewies van der Laan tijdens het Jubileumcongres op 7 oktober in Amsterdam Democraten, Ik heb niet een hele speech voorbereid, met een kop en staart enzo. Maar ik zal proberen er bij in de buurt te komen. Want ik ben toch heel blij dat ik hier vandaag namens de Tweede Kamerfractie wat mag zeggen. Want het is goed gebruik bij ons in de partij dat jullie vertegenwoordigers in het Parlement ook hier verantwoording afleggen over wat wij doen. Bijvoorbeeld in relatie tot het kabinetsbeleid.Want misschien heeft u er iets over gelezen, er zijn wat dat betreft wel een paar dingetjes gebeurd sinds wij elkaar hier de laatste keer spraken. Want hoewel het congres tot twee keer toe nadrukkelijk heeft uitgesproken dat wij moesten deelnemen aan het kabinet Balkenende II, heeft de fractie toch de noodzaak gezien daaraan een einde te maken. Dat vraagt dus om een verklaring. Toen ik namens D66 de steun opzegde in het kabinet, had dat één reden. Namelijk dat het voor ons onacceptabel was dat mevrouw Verdonk gewoon minister van integratie en asiel zou blijven nadat zij acht uur lang aantoonbare onzin aan de kamer had verkocht in de gevoelige kwestie rond het Nederlanderschap van Ayaan Hirsi Ali. U bent het misschien alweer een beetje kwijt, maar Rita Verdonk hield bij hoog en laag vol dat zij niet anders kon handelen dan zij deed, toen zij zonder enig onderzoek en binnen luttle uren het paspoort van een kamerlid afpakte. Dat was een novum, een minister die effectief een lid van de Nederlandse volksvertegenwoordiging uitschakelde.

  • A Tale of Two Cities
    The four-day ‘red’ weeks in the European Parliament’s calendar above are Strasbourg weeks. The red 24-hour ‘mini-plenary’ sittings are in Brussels. A tale of two cities The political, financial, environmental and social impact of the European Parliament's 'two-seat' arrangement Report for the Brussels-Strasbourg Seat Study Group www.brusselsstrasbourgstudy.eu Chairman Edward McMillan-Scott MEP, Vice-President of the European Parliament Brussels/Strasbourg, February 2011 1 A TALE OF TWO CITIES "Il fallait aussi composer avec un problème que j'ai découvert avec stupeur: celui d'une assemblée contrainte de travailler en trois lieux différents. (…) Ce système existe depuis maintenant trente ans, coûte des fortunes, et ne soulève à peu près aucun tollé, et même aucune question. Les journalistes, pourtant friands de gaspillage financiers, demeurent curieusement muets sur la question. Si je n'accepte pas d'être taxée d'anti européanisme, je n'ai jamais dissimulé mon hostilité à cet éparpillement. Dès mon élection j'ai alerté tout le monde sur ce gâchis de temps et d'argent, réfléchi à une éventuelle utilisation des immenses locaux strasbourgeois - pourquoi ne pas y installer une université européenne, par exemple? -, mais en pure perte."1 - Simone Veil, Une Vie2. (Simone Veil was the first President of the directly elected European Parliament, from 1979 to 1982) 1 "I also had to deal with a problem I was stunned to discover: that of an assembly forced to work in three different places. (...) This system has existed for thirty years now, costs a fortune, yet it doesn't lead to an outcry, it doesn't even raise questions.
