TERESA RIBERA, vicepresidenta cuarta y ministra para la Transición Ecológica y Reto Demográfico CAROLINA DARIAS, ministra de Política Territorial y Función Pública Portavoz.- Muchas gracias por su asistencia. Como ven, me acompañan esta mañana, la Vicepresidenta Cuarta y Ministra para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico, Teresa Ribera. Y la ministra de Política Territorial y Función Pública, Carolina Darias. Ambas van a dar cuenta de dos cuestiones que hemos abordado en el día de hoy en el Consejo de Ministros, como son: la aprobación de la Declaración de Emergencia Climática, en línea con la Declaración Europea suscrita el pasado mes de noviembre, y la subida del salario de los funcionarios cumpliendo nuestro compromiso con los empleados públicos. Para nosotros, una prioridad, porque ellos son la base de nuestro Estado del Bienestar y quienes contribuyen con su enorme esfuerzo personal a la defensa y sostenimiento de lo que más iguala a los ciudadanos, como son los servicios públicos, especialmente, durante la época de crisis. Yo creo que estas son dos medidas que hablan claramente de las prioridades del Gobierno: la apuesta estratégica de situar el cambio climático y la transición justa como eje trasversal de todos los Departamentos y de toda la acción del Gobierno orientando e impulsando la globalidad de las políticas.

  • Report 'Identifying Good Regulatory Practice in the EU Emissions
    Identifying Good Regulatory Practice In The EU Emissions Trading Scheme ii Introduction to IMPEL The European Union Network for the Implementation and Enforcement of Environmental Law is an informal network of the environmental authorities of EU Member States, acceding and candidate countries, and Norway. The European Commission is also a member of IMPEL and shares the chairmanship of its Plenary Meetings. The network is commonly known as the IMPEL Network The expertise and experience of the participants within IMPEL make the network uniquely qualified to work on certain of the technical and regulatory aspects of EU environmental legislation. The Network’s objective is to create the necessary impetus in the European Community to make progress on ensuring a more effective application of environmental legislation. It promotes the exchange of information and experience and the development of greater consistency of approach in the implementation, application and enforcement of environmental legislation, with special emphasis on Community environmental legislation. It provides a framework for policy makers, environmental inspectors and enforcement officers to exchange ideas, and encourages the development of enforcement structures and best practices. Information on the IMPEL Network is also available through its web site at: http://europa.eu.int/comm/environment/impel iii iv Identifying Good Regulatory Practice In The EU Emissions Number of the report Trading Scheme 11/2004 Project Manager:– Dr Neil Davies, Environment Agency, England Report adopted at and Wales IMPEL Plenary Authors:- Meeting in Cardiff Ian Skinner (IEEP) December 2005 Catherine Bowyer (IEEP) Jason Anderson (IEEP) Project Group Members Number of Pages See Annex 4.

  • Unidas Podemos Stakes Everything on a Social Solution to the Coronavirus Crisis
    N1 | April 2020 UNIDAS PODEMOS STAKES EVERYTHING ON A SOCIAL SOLUTION TO THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS. The first coalition government in democratic times faces its biggest challenge yet: how to respond to the pandemic? · The executive has launched social measures to ensure that “the burden of the crisis is not borne by the usual suspects” · The clashes between Spanish government ministers echo a broader controversy: the need for state intervention vs. neoliberal orthodoxy. Sato Díaz | @JDSato 29/03/2020* * This article was completed on Sunday 29th March. It analyses the response of the recently formed Spanish coalition government to the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The speed at which events are developing means that it will require updating, continuing or extending in a few days’ time. Suddenly, the world came to a standstill. The COVID-19 pandemic has produced a catharsis that is global in dimension. In just a few weeks, the epidemic that began in Wuhan, China, has spread around the world and given rise to one of the biggest crises in recent history. This is a cathartic moment. Once it has passed, the world will never be the same again. It is just as impossible to imagine the ways in which our societies will change as it is to envisage the new landscape hoving into view. The prevailing economic, political and social system is under immense strain. Ideological and political disputes are becoming more condensed, as political theory attempts to create new outlooks and praxis seeks to identify the path leading to them in response to the gaping void of the unknown.
