Roberts (item 6) CONFIDENTIAL - 3 - CM/Del/Concl(82)342 At the opening of the meeting, the Chairman had the pleasure of expressing a welcome to two new members of the Committee of Ministers, namely Mr. Leo Tindemans, Minister for External Relations of Belgium, and Mr. Sciberras Trigona, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Malta. He also had the pleasure of welcoming Mr. Nicos Yiannakis, Deputy Permanent Representative of Cyprus, who was attending a meeting of the Deputies for the first time. At the close of the meeting, the Chairman bade farewell to Mrs. Rose Lässing, Deputy to the Permanent Representative of the Federal Republic of Germany, who was leaving Strasbourg. Mr. Yáñez-Barnuevo (on behalf of his B-level colleagues) and the Deputy Secretary General also offered their best wishes to Mrs. Lässing and paid tribute to the contribution she had made to the work of the Council of Europe, in particular its intergovernmental committees and notably the Council for Cultural Co-operation (CDCC). Mrs. Lässing thanked the previous speakers, and expressed her regret that family reasons were obliging her to leave. CONFIDENTIAL - 5 - CM/Del/Concl(82)342 Item 1 1. ADOPTION OF THE AGENDA The Chairman said that he had received requests for postponement of the consideration of items 9 (Resale rights for works of art) and 23 (Public participation in decision-making on aircraft noise matters) for which the basic documents had been distributed only recently. The Secretary to the Committee said that it appeared that item 30c (European Youth Centre - 1982 Budget) was not in fact as urgent as it had seemed when the Secretariat proposed its addition under Other Business. The item could therefore be postponed. The Representative of the Federal Republic of Germany said that he wished to request, with reluctance, postponement of item 12 (Judgment of the European Court of Human Rights in the case of Luedicke, Belkacem and Koç) on the ground that new developments in this matter had arisen very recently. On the same subject, the Director of Human Rights, in reply to a question, said that the Secretariat could go along with the German proposal that the item be postponed. The Representative of Turkey said that as far as item 7 was concerned (Situation in Cyprus) the position of his delegation remained unchanged with regard to both the substance and the form. The Representative of France, supported by the Representative of Ireland, said that he felt that there were too many items on the agenda for the present meeting. Thirty was an excessive number of items for consideration at an A-level meeting, and many of the items listed concerned points of detail which could possibly be referred to B level. This was a matter of general concern to his delegation which wished to see A-level meetings enabled to concentrate on in-depth discussion of major issues. The Chairman replied that he would always endeavour whenever possible to refer matters to B level. However, this was not always particularly easy when B-level meetings were fairly intermittent, and also when there was a possibility of the Committee being able to adopt replies to Assembly texts prior to a forthcoming session of the Assembly when there was no further B-level meeting before that session. CONFIDENTIAL CM/Del/Concl(82)342 - 6 - Item 1 Decision The Deputies adopted the agenda of their 342nd meeting (January 1982 - A level) as it appears at Appendix I to these Conclusions, subject to the postponement of items 9, 12, 23 and 30c to their 343rd meeting (February 1982 - A and B levels - items 9, 12 and 30c to be discussed at A level, and item 23 at B level). CONFIDENTIAL - 7 - CM/Del/Concl(82)342 Item 2 2. THE QUESTION OF "POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS" (Concl(81)341/2b, CM(81)PV 3 prov.) The Chairman said that the following points had been selected for the exchange of views on East/West relations: 1.

  • Council of Europe
    AT A GLANCE Council of Europe The Council of Europe (CoE) is the oldest of the intergovernmental organisations set up in post-World War II Europe, and the one that has the most member states. Since its creation in 1949, the CoE has shared strong links with other European organisations, such as the European Coal and Steel Community and the Organisation for European Economic Cooperation; it now has close links with the European Union. Over time, the CoE has specialised in human-rights promotion and in monitoring the effective implementation of the European Convention of Human Rights. However, the CoE has recently come under pressure due to allegations of internal corruption and a rise of illiberal tendencies in Europe; in response, it has embarked on a reform process. A historical introduction to the CoE After the Congress of Europe in The Hague in 1948, a number of European countries decided to create the Council of Europe. This organisation, of which Winston Churchill was one of the founding fathers, was committed to intergovernmental cooperation among European countries to promote peace and cooperation on the continent. Central and eastern European countries were also invited to join, but in the end refused to become members due to Cold War tensions. Over the decades, the CoE has cooperated with the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and the Organisation for European Economic Cooperation (OEEC), as well as their successors (the European Communities/Union and OECD), and has gradually specialised in human rights and European cultural and scientific cooperation. As well as their interest in promoting European cooperation, the EU and the CoE share several symbols: Strasbourg is the seat of both the CoE and the European Parliament (which for many years also shared the CoE's debating chamber); both organisations have the same anthem and flag.

  • European Parliaments in Transnational Organisations:Parliamentary
    European parliaments in transnational organisations: Parliamentary cooperation beyond the European Union by Stefan Marschall Paper prepared for the Conference “Fifty Years of Interparliamentary Cooperation”, 13 June 2007, Bundesrat, Berlin, organised by the Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik 1 “Fifty years of interparliamentary cooperation” – this picture emerges when we take stock of the forms of networking between the national parliaments within the project of European integration. However, if one turns beyond the European Union, soon it becomes clear that the network building between parliamentary bodies is much older and that the roots of transnational parliamentarism go a longer way back into history. As a matter of fact, the oldest forum of parliamentary cooperation, the Interparliamentary Union (IPU), was founded as early as 1888. Thus, taking into account the IPU we deal with about 120 years of transnational parliamentarism. And as we broaden our perspective, soon we are faced with an abundance of different forms of parliamentary networks that European parliaments and parliaments from all over the world take part in. In this paper I will address interparliamentary cooperation within and beyond the realm of the EU. In order to do so, I will at the beginning sketch the global picture of a type of organisation, which brings together national parliamentarians within intergovernmental organisations: so-called Parliamentary Assemblies. In a second step, I focus on those parliamentary assemblies where European parliaments are represented in. Therefore I examine three major cases: the Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe, and the NATO-Parliamentary Assembly.

  • Study: Mapping Fake News and Disinformation in the Western
    STUDY Requested by the AFET committee Mapping Fake News and Disinformation in the Western Balkans and Identifying Ways to Effectively Counter Them Policy Department for External Relations Directorate General for External Policies of the Union EN PE 653.621 - February 2021 DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR EXTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT STUDY Mapping Fake News and Disinformation in the Western Balkans and Identifying Ways to Effectively Counter Them ABSTRACT Disinformation is an endemic and ubiquitous part of politics throughout the Western Balkans, without exception. A mapping of the disinformation and counter-disinformation landscapes in the region in the period from 2018 through 2020 reveals three key disinformation challenges: external challenges to EU credibility; disinformation related to the COVID-19 pandemic; and the impact of disinformation on elections and referenda. While foreign actors feature prominently – chiefly Russia, but also China, Turkey, and other countries in and near the region – the bulk of disinformation in the Western Balkans is produced and disseminated by domestic actors for domestic purposes. Further, disinformation (and information disorder more broadly) is a symptom of social and political disorder, rather than the cause. As a result, the European Union should focus on the role that it can play in bolstering the quality of democracy and governance in the Western Balkans, as the most powerful potential bulwark against disinformation.

  • European Union Legal Materials
    ARTHUR W. DIAMOND LAW LIBRARY RESEARCH GUIDES Research Guide: European Union Legal Materials Written by Jennifer Wertkin Last Updated October 2014 The purpose of this research guide is to provide an introduction to the European Union and the resources available about it. It provides an overview of many of the information resources available in the library, through the library homepage and on the Internet. The guide is designed to present general information and resources first before giving specifics into the different kinds of EU materials. By gaining an understanding of the overall organization, it is then easier to sort through the information within each institution or subject area. For the beginning researcher it is helpful to start with the broad resources, which provide an overall sense of the EU structure and organization. Researchers who are more familiar with the EU may want to begin their research in a specific area of EU law. This guide is organized to follow the research strategy of a beginning researcher. It begins with the presentation of a general overview of the European Union history, development and structure and provides information for general resources. Following these, there are sections discussing the different types of materials created by the EU and presenting finding aids for these materials. For additional assistance in finding European Union materials at Columbia's Diamond Law Library, please do not hesitate to contact the reference librarians at the Reference desk.
