The European Youth Event (EYE) 2018 is all about you. It is the European Parliament’s event where young people take centre stage. We believe that your ideas, thoughts and debates are pivotal to the future of the European Union. They will be harvested with great care during this extraordinary event. At the heart of the EYE is stimulation, innovation and interaction. Europe needs fresh ideas now more than ever. The European elections take place in May 2019 against a backdrop of renewed economic growth, yet youth unemployment remains stubbornly high. Only with real engagement by Europe’s citizens, but especially by young people who we believe so much in, can the EU surmount the challenges of the changing economy, migration and climate change. The five themes of the European Youth Event are astutely selected: 1) YOUNG AND OLD: Keeping up with the digital revolution. Digital skills are required for so many jobs on the labour market. Although young people already possess great digital skills, Europe is investing heavily to create a single digital market and ensure that high-speed internet is available for all, leaving no one behind due to a lack of training. 2) RICH AND POOR: Calling for a fair share. Your fresh ideas on how to ensure that the world’s scarce resources are more fairly distributed across Europe’s single market are needed more than ever. If we want globalisation to bring benefits to all we need to make democratic choices to ensure social justice. Europe is a diverse continent and great economic disparities still remain. 3) APART AND TOGETHER: Working out for a stronger Europe. The European Union is undoubtedly a champion of peace and prosperity - we have a proud history and a great future ahead of us. However, Europe does not always speak with one voice. Are we punching below our weight? – Should we not be more ambitious? 4) SAFE AND DANGEROUS: Staying alive in turbulent times. One of the greatest responsi- bilities for any government is to keep its citizens safe. European values have not been un- dermined by terrorist attacks, they have brought us closer together. However, the threat is evolving, from bombs to cyber-attacks, Europe’s defences are facing brand new challenges and finding innovative solutions is fundamental. 5) LOCAL AND GLOBAL: Protecting our planet. Young people will inherit our precious planet and Europe has been at the forefront of tackling climate for decades. The Paris Agreement is the foundation for protecting Earth, but some are ignoring the voices of scientists. This is the time to step up our efforts - there is a strong sense of urgency to fight the risk of climate collapse for the next generation. On behalf of the European Parliament, it is a great honour to welcome each and every one of you to Strasbourg. I know that for many of you this may be your first time in our building, which is your home, the beating heart of European democracy. I believe that the European Youth Event 2018 represents only the beginning of our journey together, so please enjoy this event and I am confident that this event will be fulfilling, planting the seeds of many lasting ideas and where many lasting friendships are made. Mr Antonio Tajani, President of the European Parliament 4 EYE2018 programme 5 FOREWORDS FOREWORDS Dear Young Europeans, I am very happy to welcome you to the seat of the European Parliament for an exciting weekend of ideas, debate and encounters in this third edition of the European Youth Event.

    Relations between the European Council and the European Parliament Institutional and political dynamics STUDY EPRS | European Parliamentary Research Service Author: Desmond Dinan European Council Oversight Unit PE 630.288 – November 2018 EN Relations between the European Council and the European Parliament Institutional and political dynamics This study explores the development of relations between the European Council (of Heads of State or Government) and the European Parliament, two institutions that have become increasingly central to the operation of the European Union political system, especially since the 2009 Lisbon Treaty. It explains the Treaty framework for relations between the two institutions and traces their practical evolution over time, including an analysis of the roles of the presidents of each institution in such interaction. It also examines points of contention in the relationship to date, including in relation to 'legislative trespassing' by the European Council and the Spitzenkandidaten process.

  • 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!

    LSE ‘Europe in Question’ Discussion Paper Series Chronicle of an Election Foretold: The Longer-Term Trends leading to the ‘Spitzenkandidaten’ procedure and the Election of Jean-Claude Juncker as European Commission President Martin Westlake LEQS Paper No. 102/2016 January 2016 LEQS is generously supported by the LSE Annual Fund Editorial Board Dr Joan Costa-i-Font Dr Vassilis Monastiriotis Dr Jonathan White Dr Katjana Gattermann Dr Sonja Avlijas All views expressed in this paper are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the editors or the LSE. © Martin Westlake Chronicle of an Election Foretold: The Longer-Term Trends leading to the ‘Spitzenkandidaten’ procedure and the Election of Jean-Claude Juncker as European Commission President Martin Westlake* Abstract By focusing on the near-term campaign in the 2014 European elections analysts have tended to over-look a series of longer-term trends that were jointly and inexorably leading to the Spitzenkandidaten (lead candidate) process and to some at least of the subsequent structural reforms to the Commission. The paper argues that those longer-term trends continue and that the (s)election of Jean-Claude Juncker as President of the European Commission and the structural reforms he subsequently introduced are better understood as steps in ongoing processes rather than fresh departures. Thus, what will happen in 2019 will have been conditioned not only by 2014, but also by previous elections and previous developments, as considered in this paper.
