However, according to Mr. Yanukovych, Ukrainian legislation does not provide for any mechanism to accomplish this. In response, I expressed the opinion that Mr. Yanukovych could use his presidential powers to resolve this issue, to which the President of Ukraine answered that those powers are not broad enough. 145 Evans Avenue, Suite 207, Toronto, Ontario M8Z 5X8 Canada Tel: 416.323.3020 Fax: 416.323.3250 E-mail: [email protected] Skype: ukrainian.world.congress Website: www.ukrainianworldcongress.org 3 Mr. Yanukovych also indicated that, beyond repeated appeals to release Ms. Tymoshenko, the EU has still not provided any concrete recommendation on how to resolve this matter within the framework of the laws of Ukraine. Notwithstanding our difference of opinion concerning the availability of mechani sms to resolve this important matter, I informed the President of Ukraine that the UWC would contact the EU, including the Cox-Kwasniewski mission, to request that you recommend a solution that is available under Ukrainian legislation to satisfy the EU requirement regarding Yulia Tymoshenko. In view of the strategic importance of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement, both for the EU and Ukraine, the UWC calls upon you to address this issue without delay in order to enable the parties to sign the Association Agreement at the Third Summit of the Eastern Partnership member countries, to be held in Vilnius on 28-29 November 2013.

  • European Parliament: 7Th February 2017 Redistribution of Political Balance
    POLICY PAPER European issues n°420 European Parliament: 7th February 2017 redistribution of political balance Charles de Marcilly François Frigot At the mid-term of the 8th legislature, the European Parliament, in office since the elections of May 2014, is implementing a traditional “distribution” of posts of responsibility. Article 19 of the internal regulation stipulates that the Chairs of the parliamentary committees, the Deputy-Chairs, as well as the questeurs, hold their mandates for a renewable 2 and a-half year period. Moreover, internal elections within the political groups have supported their Chairs, whilst we note that there has been some slight rebalancing in terms of the coordinators’ posts. Although Italian citizens draw specific attention with the two main candidates in the battle for the top post, we should note other appointments if we are to understand the careful balance between nationalities, political groups and individual experience of the European members of Parliament. A TUMULTUOUS PRESIDENTIAL provide collective impetus to potential hesitations on the part of the Member States. In spite of the victory of the European People’s Party (EPP) in the European elections, it supported Martin As a result the election of the new President of Schulz in July 2104 who stood for a second mandate as Parliament was a lively[1] affair: the EPP candidate – President of the Parliament. In all, with the support of the Antonio Tajani – and S&D Gianni Pittella were running Liberals (ADLE), Martin Schulz won 409 votes following neck and neck in the fourth round of the relative an agreement concluded by the “grand coalition” after majority of the votes cast[2].

They long to know what the decision-makers are thinking, so they can plan ahead. They yearn to be in the loop, to have the drop on things. It is the genius of the lobbyists and the consultants to understand this need, and to satisfy it in the most imaginative way. Business forums are vehicles for forging links and maintain a dialogue with business, industrial and trade organisations. They allow the discussions of general and pre-legislative issues in a different context from lobbying contacts about specific matters. They provide an opportunity to get Members of the European Parliament and other decision-makers from the European institutions together with various business sectors.

    EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT 2009 - 2014 Delegation for relations with the Korean Peninsula 16th Inter-parliamentary Meeting between the European Parliament and the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea 10 January 2013 Brussels A delegation from the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea visited the European Parliament in Brussels on 10 January 2013 on the occasion of the 16th inter-parliamentary meeting between both Assemblies. The South Korean delegation was led by Mrs LEE Meekyung, Chairman of the Delegation for Relations with the European Union in the National Assembly (Democratic United Party). The European Parliament's Delegation for Relations with the Korean Peninsula is chaired by Mr Herbert REUL (Germany, EPP). This inter-parliamentary meeting was dedicated to four main issues: key political and economic developments in Korea and the EU, the situation on the Korean Peninsula and inter-Korean relations, and the development of the EU-Korea Strategic Partnership. The previous inter-parliamentary meeting took place in November 2011 in Seoul. Due to the parliamentary elections in April 2012 and the presidential elections in December 2012, no inter-parliamentary meeting took place that year. The Korean delegation also met with the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Mr Elmar Brok, the Chairman of the International Trade Committee, Mr Vital Moreira, and was received by Vice-President Georgios Papastamkos. Meeting with Mr Elmar Brok, Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee Mr Brok welcomed the Korean delegation to the European Parliament on the occasion of the first inter-parliamentary meeting following the April 2012 parliamentary elections in Korea.

  • Europa Stärken Heißt Deutschland Stärken! Deutschland Heißt Stärken Europa
    Europa stärken heißt Deutschland stärken! Deutschland heißt stärken Europa 1 2 Europa stärken heißt Deutschland stärken Die europäische Politik steht heute mehr denn je im Zentrum des öffentlichen Interesses in Deutschland. Die großen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit – die kriegeri- schen Konflikte in unseren Nachbarregionen, die Migra- tionsbewegungen und der Kampf gegen Islamismus und Terrorismus – lassen sich nicht mehr national lösen. Nur gemeinsam mit unseren europäischen Partnern können wir tragfähige Lösungen erarbeiten und die Errungenschaften der europäischen Einigung – Frieden, Freiheit, Sicherheit und wirtschaftlicher Wohlstand – erhalten. Das Auftreten populistischer, europafeindlicher Parteien und der von Großbritannien angestrebte Austritt aus der EU dürfen nicht darüber hinwegtäuschen, dass die überwältigende Mehrheit der Deutschen wie der Euro- päer von der Notwendigkeit der europäischen Einigung überzeugt ist. Dieses Vertrauen gilt es durch sachge- rechte politische Lösungen auf allen Ebenen zu stärken. Wir arbeiten daher nachhaltig für sichere EU-Außen- grenzen, eine dauerhafte Reduktion der Migrations- ströme nach Europa, eine stabile europäische Währung, solide Staatshaushalte, einen funktionierenden Binnen- markt, Wirtschaftswachstum und Arbeitsplätze, innere und äußere Sicherheit sowie die Bewahrung der Schöp- fung. All dies können wir nur gemeinsam mit unseren europäischen Partnern erreichen und dauerhaft sichern, im Interesse Deutschlands und Europas!

I immediately expressed our deepest sympathy, condolences and solidarity to the very many families who suffered as a result of this outrageous, unjustified and unjustifiable attack on the people of Spain, democracy, and on Europe. This was also a declaration of war on democracy. These unqualifiably evil acts marked a new step in the growing threat of terrorism. Our citizens now share the sense of vulnerability about a threat which can strike any of our Member States at any time. In January of this year, I addressed the first international conference for the victims of terrorism, and said then what I would repeat today: as a matter of duty to the Spanish people, and to the people of Europe, there must be no safe haven for terrorists and terrorism in the European Union. The Irish Presidency is to be congratulated for addressing the issue of terrorism at meetings of Council last week and this week.

  • Europe's Resource Grab Vested Interests at Work in the European Parliament
    Europe's Resource Grab Vested interests at work in the European Parliament Corporate Europe Observatory, 27 June 2011 On 30 June, the European Parliament’s industry, energy and research committee (ITRE) is due to vote on the EU’s Raw Materials Initiative, establishing guidelines for Europe's future policy on natural resource use. The Parliament’s report could effectively give the green light to mining in protected European nature reserves as well as a resource grab in Asia, Africa, the Americas and the Arctic. The vote follows fierce calls from a number of MEPs with close links to industry for European big business to be allowed to exploit other countries’ raw materials without any restrictions – via trade, development and even military policies. MEPs have also tried to block strong language in the report on the need to stop corporate abuse in the extraction sector and to reduce Europe’s over- consumption of raw materials. Several of the MEPs pushing this aggressive agenda are from the European People’s Party (EPP) and have close links to industry sectors which have a vested interest in the raw materials debate (Bendt Bendtsen – Denmark; Herbert Reul and Daniel Caspary – Germany). Others such as Paul Rübig MEP (EPP, Austria) seem to have clear conflicts of interest1. Rübig profits from companies which depend heavily on the access to cheap raw materials. He also has close connections with industry lobby groups which have tried to shape the EU’s Raw Materials Initiative. Nonetheless, Rübig is one of the lead persons in the debate in Parliament and has set up a cross-party group of MEPs, the European Raw Materials Group, which will follow the issue, working closely with a parallel industry group.

  • Joint Statement by President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz and Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman
    European Parliament President Martin Schulz Joint Statement by President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz and Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman Press Release Internal Policies and EU Institutions Brussels 01-03-2016 Today the European Parliament welcomes in Brussels the delegation of leaders of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. “The Ukraine week”, which is ongoing these days in the European Parliament, demonstrates continued strong solidarity between our respective chambers, following the historic simultaneous ratification of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement on 16 September 2014 and the joint Memorandum of Understanding we signed in Kyiv on 3 July 2015. During today's unprecedented joint political group leaders' meeting of both parliaments, we endorsed the recommendations of the report of the Needs Assessment Mission led by former EP President Pat Cox, which provides an ambitious roadmap for the reform and the transformation of the Ukrainian Parliament. The Report contains concrete suggestions on improving the quality of its legislative process, its efficiency and transparency, and represents a joint ownership of all the factions and groups of the Verkhovna Rada. We have also expressed our joint commitment for the implementation of systemic reforms in Ukraine, underlined our unwavering support for Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty and have stressed the importance of national unity and political consensus of all political forces in Ukraine in this difficult political period. We hope that the reform process of the Verkhovna Rada will unite the majority and the opposition for the common goal of increasing the credibility of the Parliament in the eyes of the society and turning it into a genuine backbone of Ukrainian democracy.
