  • Volodymyr Zelensky President Ukraine CC
    Volodymyr Zelensky President Ukraine CC: Federica Mogherini High Representative of the Union Brussels, 04 september 2019 Dear President, It has come to our attention that the Russian Federation has requested that Mr Vladimir Borisovich Tsemakh be handed over as part of a prisoner exchange negotiated between the Russian Federation and Ukraine. Mr Tsemakh is a former commander of pro-Russian air defence forces in the non-government controlled territory of the so-called "Donetsk People's Republic" and is a key suspect in the tragedy of passenger flight MH17, shot down in eastern Ukraine on 17 July 2014 by a Russian BUK missile. All 298 people on board, including 196 Dutch, were killed. While we understand the context within which such negotiations are taking place and the diplomatic efforts by the Ukrainian authorities to this end, Mr Tsemakh is a suspect in the criminal investigation related to the downing of flight MH17 and his availability and testimony before the Joint Investigation Team is thus of the utmost importance for an effective prosecution by the countries involved. Mr Tsemakh is a Ukrainian citizen and is under Ukrainian custody. UNSC resolution 2166 demands that those directly or indirectly responsible for the downing of MH17 must be held accountable and must be brought to justice. The European Parliament and the European Council have reiterated on numerous occasions their full support to the work of the Joint Investigation Team and the ongoing efforts. All States that are in a position to assist with the investigation and prosecution of those responsible must fully cooperate with the ongoing criminal investigation.

Recalls that Parliament gave its consent to the EU-Vietnam Framework Agreement on Comprehensive Partnership and Cooperation (PCA) on 17 December 20151, which defines future relations and aims to enhance further cooperation on global and regional challenges; notes with concern that the human rights situation in the country has deteriorated since the entry into force of the PCA; 2. Regrets that the Commission did not carry out a human rights impact assessment on the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement, though requested to do so by Parliament, which runs counter to the decision of the European Ombudsman of 2015 and to the commitments made in the EU Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy, and calls on it to carry out such an assessment immediately; points out that the Commission also committed to carrying out an ex post economic, social and environmental impact assessment;

  • Brussels, 6. May 2021 Dear President Von Der Leyen, Dear Executive Vice
    Brussels, 6. May 2021 Dear President von der Leyen, Dear Executive Vice President Dombrovskis, Dear Vice President Schinas, Dear Commissioner Breton, Dear Commission Kyriakides, late last night the United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai released a statement that the Biden-Harris administration will support the waiving of intellectual property protection for COVID-19 vaccines. We, the undersigned Members of the European Parliament, urge you to drop your opposition and to actively support the adoption of the proposal for a temporary ‘Waiver from certain provisions of the TRIPS Agreement for the prevention, containment and treatment of COVID-19. According to the data from the WHO there have been 154,815,600 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 3,236,104 deaths1. There is an urgent need for strong international collaboration to speed and scale up manufacturing, to expand the supply of effective medical technologies and to work with governments and manufacturers to ensure fair and equitable allocation of the vaccines for all countries so that everyone, no matter where they live, is protected. We are experiencing shortages of supply and few wealthy countries were able to secure the biggest share of vaccine doses, leaving a majority of the global population living in low-and-middle income countries without any opportunity to receive vaccine 1 https://covid19.who.int/ (6. May 2021) doses. At the same time pharmaceutical companies approach to intellectual property remains business-as-usual, limiting manufacturing and supply capacities. While we fully support the European Union’s financial contributions to the Access to COVID-19 Tools Accelerator and its vaccine pillar the COVAX Facility for the purchase of potential COVID-19 vaccines, it is simply not enough.

  • Brussels, 15 October 2020 Mr Josep Borrell Fontelles, High
    Brussels, 15 October 2020 Mr Josep Borrell Fontelles, High Representative Vice President of the European Commission Dear High Representative, The situation in Belarus remains very difficult. For three months now, the women and men of Belarus have been fighting for their fundamental rights - including their rights to freedom and democracy - whilst the regime responded with nothing but brutality and violence. The EU must continue to support the people of Belarus in all possible ways, including through financial means. Although we welcome measures undertaken so far – such as a decision to provide additional funds of EUR 53 million – much more needs to be done in this regard. In its Conclusions from 1 October 2020, the European Council called on the Commission to prepare a comprehensive plan of economic support for democratic Belarus, whilst this Parliament has recently urged the EU to organise a donors’ conference for a democratic Belarus. Such a conference would bring together international financial institutions, G-7 countries, EU Member States and institutions, as well as others willing to pledge a multi-billion Euro financial package. This would offer us a unique opportunity to support future reform towards democracy, the modernisation of the country’s economy and to assist the Belarusian society in these changes. Therefore, we would like to ask whether the EEAS has started developing a concept of the donors’ conference for Belarus, and whether you have any tentative timeline concerning this valuable initiative? It would be worth drawing on the EU’s experience in this field, including informal donors' coordination meetings on Belarus that was a platform set up in the context of the conference „Solidarity with Belarus” organised in Warsaw in 2011.
