    How Big Is Belgium's Love Still for Europe? - the low countries 29/05/2020 21:18 © Trui Chielens Zero Point 1945 SOCIETY HISTORY How Big Is Belgium's Love Still for Europe? By Ellen Vanderschueren, Jasper Praet, Hendrik Vos translated by Elisabeth Salverda 29/05/2020 ! 11 min reading time After the Second World War, Belgium was one of Europe’s founders. Over the years, Belgian politicians have played a prominent role in European politics. There was always a shared feeling among the population that integration with Europe was useful and in the national interest. In recent times, however, this consensus has been somewhat worn down. n 2009, the first President of the European Council to be appointed was a I Belgian, when Herman Van Rompuy became “President of Europe”. Five years later Donald Tusk, a former prime minister of Poland, took over the helm. And five years after that, in 2019, the role fell to a Belgian once more: Charles Michel fit the jigsaw of nominations and was asked by his colleagues to chair the European Council. Belgians have quite often had a steering role in European politics. Belgium was one of the founders of the European project, and has played a very active role over the years in its process of integration. https://www.the-low-countries.com/article/how-big-is-belgiums-love-still-for-europe Pagina 1 van 15 How Big Is Belgium's Love Still for Europe? - the low countries 29/05/2020 21:18 Herman Van Rompuy and Charles Michel, the first and current President of the European Council Much has changed over the past seventy years: the Community with a focus on coal and steel has grown into a European Union that plays a significant role in almost all economic and political spheres.

  • El Gabinete De Macri
    El Gabinete de Macri Equipo de trabajo: Ana Rameri Agustina Haimovich Alejandro Yoel Ventura Responsable General: Ana Rameri Coordinación: Claudio Lozano Tomás Raffo Diciembre 2015 1 El gabinete de Macri es la muestra más evidente del desembarco del gran empresariado en el gobierno. Si bien actualmente existe discusión en torno al tipo de vínculo que debe establecerse entre los funcionarios del Estado con el sector empresario para favorecer un sendero de desarrollo, hay un consenso bastante amplio acerca de los riesgos que para el desarrollo económico, para la inclusión social y para la democratización de la vida política que implica la colonización por parte de las fracciones del capital concentrado del aparato estatal. La historia argentina tiene pruebas suficientes acerca de la existencia de estos nexos estrechos y las implicancias nocivas que tienen para el desarrollo y el bienestar del pueblo. El enraizamiento del sector privado sobe el aparato del Estado tiene un denominador común que atraviesa históricamente los distintos ciclos de acumulación y que se trata del afán de la burguesía local por la obtención de rentas de privilegio, (muy alejadas de lo que en la literatura económica se conoce como las rentas tecnológicas schumpeterianas de carácter transitorias), y más asociadas al carácter parasitario de corporaciones empresarias que se expanden al calor de los recursos públicos y la protección del estado. Los aceitados vínculos entre las fracciones concentradas del capital y los militares del último gobierno de facto posibilitaron el surgimiento de lo que se conoció como la “Patria Contratista” que derivó en espacios privilegiados para la acumulación de capital.

  • Dear President, Dear Ursula, We Welcome the Letter of 1 March That
    March 8, 2021 Dear President, dear Ursula, We welcome the letter of 1 March that you received from Chancellor Merkel and PM Frederiksen, PM Kallas and PM Marin. We share many of the ideas outlined in the letter. Indeed, there are some points that we find are of particular importance as we work to progress the digital agenda for the EU. We certainly agree that our agenda must be founded on a good mix of self-determination and openness. Our approach to digital sovereignty must be geared towards growing digital leadership by preparing for smart and selective action to ensure capacity where called for, while preserving open markets and strengthening global cooperation and the external trade dimension. Digital innovation benefits from partnerships among sectors, promoting public and private cooperation. Translating excellence in research and innovation into commercial successes is crucial to creating global leadership. The Single Market remains key to our prosperity and to the productivity and competitiveness of European companies, and our regulatory framework needs to be made fit for the digital age. We need a Digital Single Market for innovation, to eliminate barriers to cross-border online services, and to ensure free data flows. Attention must be paid to the external dimension where we should continue to work closely with our allies around the world and where in our interest, develop new partnerships. We need to make sure that the EU can be a leader of a responsible digital transformation. Trust and innovation are two sides of the same coin. Europe’s competitiveness should be built on efficient, trustworthy, transparent, safe and responsible use of data in accordance with our shared values.

    DE TEEVEN-DEAL GRATIS Auteur: Marten Oosting Aantal pagina's: 160 pagina's Verschijningsdatum: 2016-04-26 Uitgever: Balans EAN: 9789460031342 Taal: nl Link: Download hier De lange geschiedenis van de Teevendeal: een tijdlijn Verantwoordelijk minister Opstelten vertelde de Tweede Kamer dat bij de schikking een bedrag van ongeveer 1,25 miljoen gulden terugvloeide naar H. Teeven zei zich het bedrag niet te herinneren, terwijl raadsman Doedens meldde een bedrag van bijna vijf miljoen gulden te hebben ontvangen ten bate van zijn cliënt. Opstelten trad af omdat hij de Kamer verkeerd had geïnformeerd, Teeven omdat zijn betrokkenheid bij de oorspronkelijke deal zijn geloofwaardigheid als staatssecretaris had aangetast. De affaire werd vervolgens op verzoek van de Tweede Kamer onderzocht door een commissie onder leiding van de voormalige Nationaal Ombudsman Marten Oosting , die in december concludeerde dat [2]. Kort na publicatie van Oostings rapport trad Kamervoorzitter Van Miltenburg af, omdat zij eerder in het jaar een anonieme brief aan de Kamer met details over de Teevendeal had vernietigd. Begin werd de commissie-Oosting herbenoemd om de gang van zaken omtrent de zoektocht naar het afschrift te onderzoeken, nadat de suggestie was gewekt dat bewindspersonen die hadden gedwarsboomd. Een jaar later kreeg de affaire een verder vervolg, nadat Nieuwsuur -journalist Bas Haan suggereerde dat Van der Steur nog tijdens Opsteltens bewind informatie over de Teevendeal voor zijn collega-Kamerleden achtergehouden had: met name de wetenschap dat Teeven zich het precieze bedrag in wél wist te herinneren. In oktober erkende oud- minister van Justitie Ivo Opstelten toe "cruciale fouten" te hebben gemaakt in de affaire.
