Group of the Progressive Alliance of S&D Socialists & Democrats in the European Parliament in partnership with: ABOUT CALL TO EUROPE The FEPS Call to Europe conference celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2021. Over the past ten years Call to Europe has evolved into a key progressive platform where experts, civil society representatives and policymakers jointly contribute to a melting pot of progressive ideas. This incredible yearly gathering of Europe’s greatest progressive thinkers, practitioners and activists seeks to provide joint solutions to address common European challenges while following a 3P rule of a Progressive, Participatory and Positive debate. It is this debate which is FEPS’ driving force to fulfil its mission of bridging the social gap.

Give it a try because we will prove that when organised by FEPS, an online conference stands for excitement, energy and positive debates! • Set up as a festival, you’ll be able to roam around our virtual conference venue and engage with leading progressive politicians, renowned academics, and civil society and trade union representatives, activists and interested citizens. • We will offer you a wide diversity of cultural experiences ranging from music to book discussions to picture exhibitions and much more! Call to Europe 10 Virtual Festival is going to be THE most exciting pan-European online event of 2021! In short, this is YOUR progressive social gathering that is Covid-safe! Don’t wait – get clicking and register NOW! EN FEPS @FEPS_Europe #CallToEurope INTRODUCTION TO THIS YEAR’S TOPIC Europe is slowly emerging from Covid-19. It has been a major health crisis and a magnifier of multiple challenges that have been left without a solution for far too long. So, while every vaccination increases the hope that life can slowly return to ‘normal’, there is at the same time a legitimate question about what the new normal will be. The European progressives, who have just been in the driving seat of the Social Summit in Porto, are very clear that the path forward must involve a fight – a fight against inequalities and for strong welfare states; against injustice and for a sustainable economy; against abuse and for resilient democracy in Europe and across the globe. How to make this happen, how to close the social gaps and how to act upon our solidarity are the questions at the core of the conversation that we as FEPS will hold at Call to Europe 10. Be part of it and you will contribute to shaping the policy proposals that will be discussed and the way to making them reality. This opportunity is just a click away! MIND THE SOCIAL GAPS… The aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic is tragic. It is leaving Europe like a battlefield covered with landmines, each of which represents a social gap and each of which can cause another explosion. It will take much leadership, perseverance and boldness to navigate this minefield and to build a bridge to move beyond. Some of the particularly large gaps to be bridged are the: • Gender gap. Since the pandemic has been an asymmetric shock, it has seen many women struggle to carry on with their professional lives and combine these responsibilities with the increased demands to provide care for their loved ones. The number of challenges in the fight for gender equality have risen and they can only all be tackled if Europe manages to build caring economies and caring democracies. • Income gap. During lockdowns, low-income people have had fewer opportunities to continue employment and have been the first to feel the painful consequences of precarious contracts and hazardous working conditions. Now is the time for Europe to focus on delivering on its promise of more and better jobs, with more lifelong learning opportunities and adequate social protection. • Territorial gap. Covid-19 has attacked disadvantaged regions the hardest. More people have died in these regions because of a lack of adequate health infrastructure and a lack of means to protect themselves against exposure. This is the toll of the neoliberal decades and austerity, and Europe needs to recover from it by investing and by improving the quality of public services for everyone across the European Union. • Intergenerational gap. 2020 made Millennials and Generation Z fall behind in terms of living and working conditions. The opportunities they hoped to grasp have become out of reach and the dreams they hoped to achieve by conquering the world to improve it seem to have blurred behind an unreachable horizon. The time is now for Europe to act and to put in place a new social contract that embodies intergenerational solidarity. The European Union must become the driver of progressive transformation – and that is the Call that FEPS, together with its members, partners and community of speakers, is making this year.

She held the European Union together through major crises and ensured the EU kept its global promises. When finishing her mandate two years ago, she honoured FEPS as the place to deliver her legacy speech.

FEPS @FEPS_Europe #CallToEurope DAY 1: Tuesday 25 May 2021 TEN YEARS OF CALL TO EUROPE – A DECADE OF PROGRESSIVE THINKING 17:00 – 17:30 VIRTUAL COFFEE BREAK: DIGITAL NETWORKING ROOM IS OPEN THE HUMAN FACE OF THE EU The European Union has created an ineffable bond between its people – be they European citizens or newcomers. This bond arises from the promise of a construction that aims to sustain peace for as long as humanity lives. Humans in the EU is a project that brings together creators, storytellers, journalists and influencers to compose together the human story of Europe. As well as photographs and written texts, the project now uses diverse creative media to recount human stories fostering intercultural understanding, dialogue, and active citizenship. The project has received official support and funding from the European Parliament. Tune in for the first virtual carousel of Call to Europe and to a short storytelling session with the founder of the Humans in the EU project. SOUNDOUS BOUALAM, Head of Communications at Alliance4Europe and Founder of Humans in the EU, Morocco 18:30 – 19:15 ACCELERATING AND DELIVERING ON THE GREEN RECOVERY CALL TO EUROPE 10 TALK, FOLLOWED BY Q&A There may be no other chance like the present to ensure a systemic shift in our commitments towards carbon neutrality. This Call to Europe 10th anniversary edition marks the start of what scientists consider to be the most defining ten years in the future of our planet. The EU Green deal, and implementation of EU and national climate laws, offer very positive developments, yet there is still a huge gap in what needs to be done.

    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.

    To the President of the European Commission Mrs. Ursula von der Leyen, Rue de la Loi / Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels To the Executive Vice-President of the European Commission Mr. Vladis Dombrovskis Rue de la Loi / Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels Brussels, 22 October 2020, Subject: the EU must impose an import ban on Chinese companies using forced labour Dear President von der Leyen, Dear Vice-President Dombrovskis, For years, the Chinese regime has been detaining millions of human beings in camps, just because they were born Uyghurs. For years, Europe and the world have been witnessing a crime against humanity without opposing any resistance to it. In recent months, several studies have reported the use of Uyghur forced labour for the benefit of major European companies. Indeed, many Chinese factories, directly supplying EU brands exploit the Uyghurs and benefit from their forced labour. Facing this abjection, Europe must act to protect the lives and fundamental rights of Uyghurs. The EU should use its trade and market power to safeguards the founding principles enrichened in our Treaties and guiding our external policies. As the US did lately through an imports ban passed almost unanimously in the US House of Representatives, Europe urgently needs to establish a blacklist of Chinese companies implicated in Uyghur forced labour. We look forward to your response. Yours sincerely, 1. Raphaël Glucksmann, S&D 2. Dietmar Köster, S&D 3. Francisco Guerreiro, Greens 4. Sylvie Guillaume, S&D 5. Aurore Lalucq, S&D 6.

    Green Recovery Call to Action & Signatories 121

    GREENRECOVERY REBOOT & REBOOST our economies for a sustainable future Call for mobilisation The coronavirus crisis is shaking the whole world, with devastating consequences across Europe. We are being put to the test. We are suffering and mourning our losses, and this crisis is testing the limits of our system. It is also a test of our great European solidarity and of our institutions, which acted fast at the start of the crisis to deploy measures to protect us. The crisis is still ongoing, but we will see the light at the end of the tunnel, and by fighting together, we will beat the virus. Never have we faced such a challenging situation in peacetime. The fight against the pandemic is our top priority and everything that is needed to stop it and eradicate the virus must be done. We welcome and strongly support all the actions developed by governments, EU institutions, local authorities, scientists, medical staff, volunteers, citizens and economic actors. In this tremendously difficult situation, we are also facing another crisis: a shock to our economy tougher than the 2008 crisis. The major shock to the economy and workers created by the pandemic calls for a strong coordinated economic response. We therefore welcome the declaration of European leaders stating that they will do “whatever it takes” to tackle the social and economic consequences of this crisis. However, what worked for the 2008 financial crisis may not be sufficient to overcome this one. The economic recovery will only come with massive investments to protect and create jobs and to support all the companies, regions and sectors that have suffered from the economy coming to a sudden halt.

    DSA's Options and the Socialist International DSA Internationalism

    DSA’s Options and the Socialist International DSA Internationalism Committee April 2017 At the last national convention DSA committed itself to holding an organizational discussion on its relationship to the Socialist International leading up to the 2017 convention. The structure of this mandatory discussion was left to DSA’s internationalism committee. The following sheet contains information on the Socialist International, DSA’s involvement with it, the options facing DSA, and arguments in favor of downgrading to observer status and withdrawing completely. A. History of the Socialist International and DSA The Socialist International (SI) has its political and intellectual origins in the nineteenth century socialist movement. Its predecessors were the First International (1864-1876), of ​ ​ which Karl Marx was a leader, and the Second International (1889-1916). In the period of ​ the Second International, the great socialist parties of Europe (particularly the British Labour Party, German Social Democratic Party, and the French Section of the Workers International) formed and became major electoral forces in their countries, advancing ideologies heavily influenced by Marx and political programs calling for the abolition of capitalism and the creation of new systems of worker democracy. The Second International collapsed when nearly all of its member parties, breaking their promise not to go to war against other working people, rallied to their respective governments in the First World War. The Socialist Party of America (SPA)—DSA’s predecessor—was one of the very few member parties to oppose the war. Many of the factions that opposed the war and supported the Bolshevik Revolution came together to form the Communist International in 1919, which over the course of the 1920s became dominated by Moscow and by the 1930s had become a tool of Soviet foreign policy and a purveyor of Stalinist orthodoxy.

  • European Alliance for a Green Recovery

    European Alliance for a Green Recovery

    Launch of the European alliance for a Green Recovery Press Release Under embargo until 14/04 7:00am At the initiative of Pascal Canfin, Chair of the Environment Committee at the European Parliament, 180 political decision-makers, business leaders, trade unions, NGOs, and think tanks have come together to form a European alliance for a Green Recovery. In the face of the coronavirus crisis, the biggest challenge Europe has faced in peacetime, with devastating consequences and a shock to the economy tougher than the 2008 crisis, Ministers from 11 countries, 79 cross-party MEPs from 17 Member States, 37 CEOs, 28 business associations representing 10 different sectors, trade union confederation representing members from 90 national trade union organisations and 10 trade union federations, 7 NGOs and 6 think tanks, have committed to working together to create, support and implement solutions to prepare our economies for the world of tomorrow. This first pan-European call for mobilisation on post-crisis green investment packages will work to build the recovery and transformation plans which enshrine the fight against climate change and biodiversity as a key pillar of the economic strategy. Sharing the belief that the economic recovery will only come with massive investments to protect and create jobs and to support all companies, regions and sectors that have suffered from the economy coming to a sudden halt, the alliance commits to contribute to the post-crisis investment decisions needed to reboot and reboost our economy. Covid-19 will not make climate change and nature degradation go away. The fight against this crisis will not be won without a solid economic response.

    Dear President of the European Parliament, Dear President of The

    Dear President of the European Parliament, Dear President of the European Council, Dear President of the European Commission and Dear President of the French Republic, We all have a responsibility for the shared future of Europe. In this time of crisis, it is high time to re-evaluate some of the rules we have upheld till now and focus on the most important aspects of the European project, which will help us move forward. An unprecedented health crisis is currently affecting millions of people in Europe and tragically taking thousands of lives. However, this is not the end. The economic crisis will crush the hopes and dreams of generations of Europeans. We sincerely hope that we will all do whatever is in our power not to leave anyone behind. We firmly believe that the European Parliament needs to take on its responsibility and share the burden since it is the highest European directly elected body. We need to be part of the solution, not part of the problem. If we want the people to have confidence and trust in the European project, we need to show them that we are also ready to make concessions. Therefore, we would like to ask you to do everything in your power to change the treaties in order to have just a single seat of the Parliament in Brussels. This call has again gained a large majority of support in the 2018 Parliament discharge resolution adopted on 13 May 2020 and shall now be taken into account and acted upon. The financial and environmental costs of moving the Parliament are, especially in these times of digitally connected Europe, extremely high and hard to justify.

    SOCIAL AFFAIRS FORUM NEWS JANUARY 2015 SECRETARIAT UPDATES Our next Social Affairs Forum and study visit at CSV UK will take place on 9 and 10 March 2015 in London. Please register here: http://solidar.org/spip.php?page=agenda&date=2015-03- 09 The agenda will follow in due time. Advisory group on asylum, migration and integration SOLIDAR constituted a transversal advisory group on asylum, migration and integration coordinated by our Italian member ARCI with the support of the Secretariat. The political reason for creating such a taskforce is that - despite the fact that migration is currently a very relevant political, social and cultural matter - a common approach has not emerged. On the contrary, migration more and more became a divisive question between different political and cultural visions on the future. The aim of the advisory group is to work together on a common approach on the issues of asylum, migration and integration by providing a platform to better understand the challenges that civil society organisations are facing at local level as well as to share knowledge about practices that SOLIDAR members are carrying out. A brainstorming meeting will take place on 10 February from 10:00 to 13:00 at SOLIDAR Offices. The aim of the brainstorming is to make a first exchange with members on the priorities, objectives and expectations about the work of this advisory group in 2015. Please also note that the brainstorming meeting will be followed by the SOLIDAR-CGIL round table Rights-based approach to EU migration policies: the role of the Trade Union Network on Mediterranean and Sub-Saharan Migrants that will take place on 10 February from 15:00 to 17:30.
