    Mr Josep Borrell Vice-President of the European Commission High Representative of the Union for the CFSP Rue De La Loi 170 1000 Brussels

    Mr Josep Borrell Vice-President of the European Commission High Representative of the Union for the CFSP Rue de la Loi 170 1000 Brussels Brussels, 16th April 2021 Dear Mr. High Representative; Mr Vice-President of the Commission: A delegation from the illegitimate National Assembly of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which emerged from the electoral farce organised on 6th December 2020 by the regime of Nicolás Maduro, recently paid a visit to Brussels and was officially received by the institution you lead. According to a statement you made on behalf of the European Union on 6th December, this spurious process took place in the absence of electoral conditions that could have guaranteed its credibility, without any respect for political pluralism, and in an atmosphere of persecution and disqualification of democratic leaders whose legitimate rights were curtailed. Your statement concludes that such circumstances could not consider this process credible, inclusive, and transparent and therefore the results did not represent the will of the Venezuelan people. That initial statement was confirmed on 6 January of this year by a new declaration, in similar terms to those expressed on 6 December, and by the conclusions of the Foreign Affairs Council of 25 January. These reiterated the lack of recognition of the electoral process and regretted the behaviour of the authorities of the Maduro regime, whose actions are preventing a solution to the serious crisis in Venezuela. We were surprised and gravely concerned to learn that on 14th April, at your request, senior officials of the European External Action Service received the aforementioned delegation, comprising Iris Varela, Pedro Carreño and Desirée Santos Amaral, at the EEAS headquarters.

    Ihre Afd-Delegation Informiert Über Die Arbeit Im EU-Parlament

    Ihre AfD-Delegation informiert über die Arbeit im EU-Parlament Ausgabe #2 / September 2020 2 Liebe Leser, in den vergangenen Wochen ist in Brüssel trotz – oder gerade wegen? - der parlamentari- schen Sommerpause viel passiert. Mitten in der Urlaubszeit leitete die EU-Kommission ei- nen neuen Migrationspakt in die Wege. Um demokratischen Anschein zu wahren, konnten die Bürger auf einer gut versteckten Webseite der Kommission vier Wochen lang ihre Mei- nung hierzu kundtun. Davon machten bis vier Tage vor Einsendeschluss europaweit noch nicht einmal einhundert Menschen Gebrauch. Alles geschah weitestgehend unter Aus- schluss der Öffentlichkeit, bis wir auf diese Pläne aufmerksam wurden, eine kleine Kam- pagne starteten, und auch die anderen patriotischen Parteien hierfür sensibilisierten. In kürzester Zeit erreichten wir hunderttausende Menschen, knapp 2.000 überwiegend ablehnende Bürgerzuschriften gingen bei der Kommission ein – die Eurokraten haben nun viel Lesestoff. Was es mit dem neuen Migrationspakt auf sich hat, lesen Sie in dieser zwei- ten Ausgabe unseres „Blicks auf Brüssel“. Weitere Themen sind die Rede zur „Lage der Europäischen Union“ von Kommissionspräsi- dentin Ursula von der Leyen, die unser Delegationsleiter Prof. Dr. Jörg Meuthen ordentlich zerpflückt hat. Außerdem geht es um die Brandstiftungen in Moria, um Nord Stream 2, um Guido Reils neues Buch über Obdachlosigkeit und um vieles mehr. Wir wünschen Ihnen viel Lesevergnügen!

    Question for Written Answer E-003824/2019/Rev.1 to the Commission Rule 138 Christine Anderson (ID), Charlie Weimers (ECR)

    Question for written answer E-003824/2019/rev.1 to the Commission Rule 138 Christine Anderson (ID), Charlie Weimers (ECR) Subject: Commission programme ‘Sport as a means of integration and social inclusion for migrants’ The Commission has set up a programme to promote, among other things, the ‘exchange of successful methods for integrating migrants’ through sporting activities. This encompasses various projects such as SFR-2287CF34 in Germany (EUR 240 000) and SFR-A72056BB in Italy (EUR 200 740). How many so-called migrants (broken down by age, gender, country of origin and project supported) are taking part in the programme? EUR 2 million have been set aside for the programme in the 2016-2018 funding period. What results are known to the Commission (with an indication of the survey and evaluation methods) in terms of successful integration? German football is seeing an increase in violent incidents. A whole team (BV Altenessen 06 II) was recently suspended after players and the coach attacked the referee. The names of players would indicate a migrant background (due to EU-data protection rules their names can not be published) Does the Commission programme include measures to prevent similar outbreaks of violence in sport from happening in the context of the projects? If no such measures have been put in place yet, how might the Commission support the Member States in the fight against acts of violence in sport carried out by migrants? Supporters1 1 This question is supported by Members other than the authors: Guido Reil (ID), Lars Patrick Berg (ID), Markus Buchheit (ID), Maximilian Krah (ID), Bernhard Zimniok (ID), Catherine Griset (ID), Gunnar Beck (ID), Sylvia Limmer (ID), Joachim Kuhs (ID), Nicolaus Fest (ID), Jörg Meuthen (ID) PE644.443v02-00.

    Dr Stella Kyriakides Commissioner for Health and Food Safety, European Commission And Dr Thierry Breton Commissioner for Internal Market, European Commission And: Dr Rafael Mariano Grossi IAEA Director Subject: Transport of Radiopharmaceuticals in the European Union Brussels, 22th April 2020 Dear Commissioners, Dear Director during this pandemic period, the outcome of which is unknown, we must continue to ensure that services in the hospitals are provided to patients who require radiopharmaceutical care. Radiopharmaceuticals are drugs that are used for imaging diagnosis and therapy. Radiopharmaceuticals are crucial to provide CT scans for COVID-19 patients (SPECT/CT and PET/CT imaging) as well as for fragile patient populations, such as cancer and cardiac patients. Due to the radioactive part the shelf life is extremely limited and measured in hours and days. Whereas most regular drugs have shelf lives of months or years and can be produced in mass quantities, radiopharmaceuticals are produced in much smaller quantities and have to be produced for delivery just in time. This is often the day after production, and they are given to a patient usually on that day. In case of a imaging procedure, the scan also takes place the same day. This means that in the EU countries in over 90% of cases the time between the patient dose being ordered, produced, shipped and the actual diagnostic or therapeutic test is 24 hours. Furthermore, these short timeframes are extremely important since a radiopharmaceutical that cannot be used on the day of delivery and preparation in the hospital must be discarded. These days, the number of controls at the borders have seriously increased (potentially causing delays) and the administrative demands are sometimes hard to follow and fulfil.

    Major interpellation for written answer G-001001/2020 to the Commission Rule 139 Christine Anderson, Jörg Meuthen, Jérôme Rivière, Harald Vilimsky, Peter Kofod, Laura Huhtasaari, Jaak Madison, Gunnar Beck, Lars Patrick Berg, Markus Buchheit, Nicolaus Fest, Maximilian Krah, Joachim Kuhs, Sylvia Limmer, Guido Reil, Bernhard Zimniok on behalf of the ID Group Subject: The President of the Commission’s interference in the Croatian elections – violation of the Code of Conduct for the Members of the Commission On Friday 3 July, the President of the Commission Ursula von der Leyen appeared in a promotional video for the Croatian political party Hrvatska demokratska zajednica (HDZ) in the context of the recent national elections. She was filmed uttering the party’s campaign motto Sigurna Hrvatska (‘safe Croatia’) in a corridor of the Commission building, while her official title appeared on screen. This appearance has sparked outrage in the EU, as the President of the Commission is obliged to remain neutral. According to Article 9(3) of the Code of Conduct for Members of the Commission, Members ‘shall abstain from making public statements or interventions on behalf of any political party or organisation of the social partners of which they are members’. The Commission has expressed its regret over the incident, but has also sought to downplay its ramifications. While it accepted that technical mistakes were made 1 , it has boldly claimed that it was ‘the kind of things [sic] which must be permitted’ 2 , thereby implicitly denying that a breach of the Code of Conduct had occurred. 1. With particular regard to its Code of Conduct and the principle of neutrality, what is the Commission’s assessment of its President’s appearance in the aforementioned campaign video? 2.

    Commissioner Margrethe Vestager Executive Vice-President Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis Executive Vice-President Commissioner Thierry Breton Bruxelles 10th February 2021 Subject: Letter regarding implementation of communications technology in the EU We, the undersigned Members of the European Parliament from different political groups, share a common concern regarding the politicisation of the deployment of 5G technology across our Union. The European Commission, along with the Member States, has made clear that digitisation is one of the two key pillars on which the post-Covid recovery must be built. The "fifth generation" of telecommunication systems, or 5G, provides the capacities to meet Europe growing connectivity needs, which are the backbone of job creation, economic growth, public services fit for the digital age, and opportunities for all. Among other things, 5G will benefit healthcare by expanding telemedicine. Europe’s rural areas, in particular, are in need of better access to health – and here telemedicine is key. But telemedicine requires a network that can support real-time high-quality video, as it is the case with 5G. With 5G-enabled systems, patients can often get treated sooner, regardless of where they live. But healthcare is not the only sector that will benefit from 5G. Europe’s industry as a whole will benefit, too. Faster, more stable connections can connect teams in multiple locations at once, supporting remote work – which is essential in our fight against Covid-19. At the same time, the possibility to quickly access and share data will help businesses increase growth and savings, while improving customer experience. The Commission has even mentioned that the system will also increase a strong cooperation between member states and the European Union Institutions in matters of cyber security.
