  • February 12, 2015 Commissioner Vytenis Andriukaitis European
    February 12, 2015 Commissioner Vytenis Andriukaitis European Commission Rue de la Loi 170 B-1049 Brussels Dear Commissioner, The undersigned organizations, representing a broad section of the U.S. food and agricultural industry, urge you and your colleagues to ensure that draft Decisions authorizing the importation for food and feed processing of thirteen new biotechnology products are considered by the College of Commissioners without further delay. All of these products (soy, maize, rapeseed, cotton) have received positive European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) scientific assessments and have been considered by the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and the Appeals Committee. The majority of these product applications were ready for adoption by the College of Commissioners last summer but, unfortunately, the outgoing College failed to act before its term expired. The length of time taken for EU decisions on new biotech crops has only increased in recent years, and the approval process for import files now appears to have come to a complete stop. The last import authorizations were issued by the European Commission in November 2013. Some of the pending products are already being grown in exporting countries under stewardship programs, and production volumes are increasing each growing season for domestic and export markets. Timely action by the European Commission will avoid the risk of disruption to the essential supply of feedstocks needed by the EU’s livestock, poultry and feed industries, which are more than 70 percent dependent on imported protein. The uncertainty and undue delays surrounding import approvals are creating unnecessary costs for producers and the agri-supply chain.

  • THE JUNCKER COMMISSION: an Early Assessment
    THE JUNCKER COMMISSION: An Early Assessment John Peterson University of Edinburgh Paper prepared for the 14th Biennial Conference of the EU Studies Association, Boston, 5-7th February 2015 DRAFT: Not for citation without permission Comments welcome [email protected] Abstract This paper offers an early evaluation of the European Commission under the Presidency of Jean-Claude Juncker, following his contested appointment as the so-called Spitzencandidat of the centre-right after the 2014 European Parliament (EP) election. It confronts questions including: What will effect will the manner of Juncker’s appointment have on the perceived legitimacy of the Commission? Will Juncker claim that the strength his mandate gives him license to run a highly Presidential, centralised Commission along the lines of his predecessor, José Manuel Barroso? Will Juncker continue to seek a modest and supportive role for the Commission (as Barroso did), or will his Commission embrace more ambitious new projects or seek to re-energise old ones? What effect will British opposition to Juncker’s appointment have on the United Kingdom’s efforts to renegotiate its status in the EU? The paper draws on a round of interviews with senior Commission officials conducted in early 2015 to try to identify patterns of both continuity and change in the Commission. Its central aim is to assess the meaning of answers to the questions posed above both for the Commission and EU as a whole in the remainder of the decade. What follows is the proverbial ‘thought piece’: an analysis that seeks to provoke debate and pose the right questions about its subject, as opposed to one that offers many answers.

  • Mr Vytenis ANDRIUKAITIS European Commissioner for Health European Commission Rue De La Loi, 200 1049 Brussels
    Mr Vytenis ANDRIUKAITIS European Commissioner for Health European Commission Rue de la Loi, 200 1049 Brussels Ref: RB.RT.mcf/67.190 29 June 2015 Dear Commissioner, Following the meeting that my EFPIA colleagues and I had on 28 May 2015 with members of your cabinet in relation to the ongoing crisis in Greece, I am writing to follow up with more details on our concerns about what might happen within the medicines market in the event that Greece fails to reach a deal with its creditors and is forced to leave the Euro. In the worst-case scenario of ‘Grexit’, we believe the integrity of the medicines supply chain may be in jeopardy, which would create a risk to public health. As such we believe it prudent and responsible to ensure there is a dialogue between the Commission and the pharmaceutical industry on concrete contingency plans. There are two broad categories of issues that we believe may disrupt the supply of medicines under the Grexit scenario: 1. The first relates to the potential for general practical disruption in the operation of the business environment. Technical breakdown in infrastructure supporting transactions, uncertainty on the validity of contracts, coupled with general social unrest, is likely to lead to problems throughout the economy. The Greek medicines supply chain is complicated compared with other European member states and therefore we think that the medicines supply chain may be particularly vulnerable to the sort of disruption described here. We believe, for example, that several hundred wholesalers are involved in the purchase and distribution of medicines to Greek pharmacies (a supply chain that is much more fragmented than in other EU countries).
