  • 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.

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].

  • Political Group Coordinators in Parliamentary Committees
    Political Group Coordinators in Parliamentary Committees Updated February 2017 Each political group in the European Parliament designates one of its MEPs to act as 'coordinator' on any particular Committee. The group coordinator is the main spokesperson for their group in the Committee, and also negotiates for the allocation of Rapporteurs. They assist Rapporteurs and Shadows in the drafting of voting recommendations and decide which substitutes can vote in the absence of full members. They also ensure that MEPs vote at critical times.

Jo Leinen Michael Detjen Peter Simon Evelyne Gebhardt Liebe Leserinnen unD Leser, wir Sozialdemokratinnen und Sozialdemokraten kämpfen für Europa – ein starkes, faires und soziales Europa. In den letzten fünf Jahren wurden unsere gemeinsamen Überzeugungen und Werte beson- ders durch rechtskonservative Nationalisten außerhalb und innerhalb der Europäischen Union angegriffen. Während wir uns früher weitestgehend auf internationale Verträge und Absprachen verlassen konnten, bedroht nun das kurzfristige Denken entlang nationaler Egoismen die Errungenschaften und die Zukunft internationaler Zusammenarbeit. Umso mehr brauchen wir ein starkes Europa, das solidarisch zusammensteht und Flagge zeigt für Frieden, Demokratie und Rechts- staatlichkeit. Wir müssen der „America First“-Politik des amerikanischen Präsidenten unsere Botschaft entgegensetzen. Sie lautet „Europa United“! Eine Europäische Union, die in die Zukunft investiert, gute Arbeit und faire Regeln für alle sichert in Zeiten einer globalisierten Wirtschaft - das ist unser Ziel. Und vergessen wir nicht: Die EU ist ein einzigartiges, erfolgreiches Friedensprojekt.
