  • Hon. Mr President of the European Parliament, Dear David Sassoli
    Hon. Mr President of the European Parliament, Dear David Sassoli, Since March, when the outbreak of COVID-19 intensified in Europe, the functioning of the European Parliament (EP) has changed dramatically, due to the sanitary measures applied. We understand the inevitability of the contingency plan, taking into account the need to prevent infection and the spread of the virus and to protect the health and lives of people. Six months later, the functioning of the EP is gradually returning to normal. However, there are services whose unavailability seriously impairs parliamentary work, namely the interpretation service. The European Union (EU) has 24 official languages and all deserve the same respect and treatment. We recognize that the number of languages available in committee meeting rooms has been increasing, but even so, more than half of the languages still have no interpretation. Multilingualism is a right enshrined in the Treaties that allows Members to express themselves in their own language. Now, that is not happening and we are concerned that the situation will continue, even taking into account the expected workflow in the commissions after these atypical six months. In this sense, we appeal, once again, to you, the President of the EP for the application of the letter and the spirit of the principle of multilingualism, finding solutions that respect this principle and that allow the use of any of the 24 official languages of the EU. The expression of each deputy in her/his own language is a priority so that there can be conditions to fully exercise the mandate for which she/he was elected and a condition of respect for the citizens who elected her/him.

  • Members of the European Parliament Mr Janusz
    Members of the European Parliament Mr Janusz Wojciechowski Commissioner for Agriculture European Commission Rue de la Loi 200 B-1049 Bruxelles Mr Virginijus Sinkevičius Commissioner for Environment, Oceans and Fisheries European Commission Rue de la Loi 200 B-1049 Bruxelles Brussels, 11 November 2020 Subject: Deforestation and illegal logging of Romania’s primary forests Dear Commissioners, we, the undersigned Members of the European Parliament, are addressing you to express our deep concerns about massive violations of the protection of Natura 2000 areas, primary and ancient forests and UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Romania. In Romania, deforestation caused by illegal logging is continuing on an alarming scale. It threatens the last and irreplaceable primary forests in the EU, which are more crucial than ever in the fight against climate change and for the preservation of biodiversity. According to expert estimates, up to two thirds of the EU’s remaining primary forests are located in Romania. Largely untouched areas in the Romanian Carpathian Mountains and the Făgăraș Mountains have survived until today – a European if not global heritage of invaluable ecological value. Some of these forests are also included in the List of World Heritage Sites UNESCO.1 Now, ruthless greed and large-scale corruption are seriously endangering these European natural treasures and the time for protective measures is running out. If no immediate action is taken, the still existing forests will soon be lost forever. Since the launch of the European Commission’s infringement procedure against Romania on 12 February 2020 for failing to establish effective measures against illegal logging2, thousands more hectares were destroyed.

Thierry Breton, the Internal Market Commissioner, held a videoconference with the heads of Europe’s telecommunications companies and the GSMA (Global System for Mobile Communications) to explore options for sharing geolocation metadata in order to map and forecast the spread of the virus. The Commission claims that such a move would be fully in line with the General Data Protection Regulation and e-privacy legislation. How does the Commission intend to guarantee EU citizens full anonymisation of their personal data? How exactly does the Commission envisage using such data? Not content with surveillance and quarantine enforcement, Israel and a number of Asian countries have adopted a proactive AI-based approach that alerts individuals if they have been in contact with a virus carrier. How do the Commission’s plans compare, and what logistical support will it provide the Member States which opt for this approach? PE650.848v01-00.

  • Brussels, 17 September 2020 Dear Prime Minister Stefan Löfven, Dear
    Brussels, 17 September 2020 Dear Prime Minister Stefan Löfven, Dear Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Environment and Climate Isabella Lövin, We, Members of the European Parliament, are writing to ask the Swedish government to stop the expansion of the Preemraff oil refinery in Lysekil. As we have been made aware, it is now in the hands and power of your government to stop this huge fossil fuel project, locking our societies into further fossil fuel dependency. The message from scientists and the global environmental movement is unambiguous: Fossil fuels are not the future. If your government would grant Preemraff permission to expand, the refinery’s emissions would increase by 1 million tons of carbon dioxide per year, making it Sweden’s single biggest source of carbon dioxide emissions. As you are well aware, climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time. Several parliaments around the world, including the European Parliament, have declared a climate urgency. A global youth movement, spearheaded by Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, is calling for an immediate, radical change to fight the global warming of the planet. Two years ago, the Swedish Climate Act was passed in the parliament, obliging the government’s climate policy to be aligned with the climate targets leading to zero net greenhouse gas emissions by 2045 and to negative net emissions after 2045. In your annual government declaration, on September 8, you stated that ”We are the leading nation in the world fighting climate change.” We recognize the international voice and the important work done by the Swedish government to counteract climate change, and we welcome Sweden’s ambition to be a model nation in promoting and implementing progressive climate policies.

  • Question for Written Answer
    Question for written answer E-005578/2020 to the Council Rule 138 Julie Lechanteux (ID), Virginie Joron (ID), André Rougé (ID), Jean-Lin Lacapelle (ID), Maximilian Krah (ID), Gilles Lebreton (ID), Gunnar Beck (ID), Herve Juvin (ID), France Jamet (ID) Subject: Navalny case: additional sanctions against Russia On 7 October 2020, the German and French Ministers for Foreign Affairs announced their intention of proposing additional sanctions against Russia to their European partners, stating that 'there is no other plausible explanation' than Russia being responsible for the incident involving the politician Alexei Navalny1, which he himself has described as an attempted poisoning. This explanation harks back to the famous 'highly likely’ statement made in 2018 by the then British Prime Minister, Theresa May. Apparently, the two ministers did not need to wait for the findings of a judicial investigation to assign responsibility (naming defendants), establish guilt (delivering a verdict) and impose sanctions (handing down sentences), in a case that is still far from being definitively solved. Does the Council not take the view that such a decision violates Articles 48 and 51 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, which state that 'everyone who has been charged shall be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law’ and that 'the provisions of this Charter are addressed to the institutions and bodies of the Union with due regard for the principle of subsidiarity and to the Member States only when they are implementing Union law'?
