  • COMMON STATEMENT on the US-EU WINE TRADE RELATIONSHIP June 14, 2021
    COMMON STATEMENT ON THE US-EU WINE TRADE RELATIONSHIP June 14, 2021 The EU and the US wine sectors play a critical role in supporting a vibrant transatlantic trade relationship. This sector is an essential driving force for many rural economies and for a significant number of medium and small enterprises. The undersigned deeply regret that the wine sector, as a notable industry in our two economies is sometimes caught in the crosshairs of unrelated trade disputes, causing economic damage to producers, and putting the millions of jobs that they support at risk. Consumers are also victims of those trading conflicts, which can lead to higher prices and reduced consumer choice. We urge the European Union and the US to resolve current trade disputes, to stop any related retaliatory action against wine exports, and to strengthen their bilateral partnership in order to avoid any sanctions against those sectors, including in the context of the current World Trade Organization Large Civil Aircraft Airbus-Boeing disputes. As legislators and policy makers on both sides of the Atlantic, we acknowledge the importance and benefits of strengthening this bilateral partnership. Both the U.S. and the EU are each other’s largest export markets, with the total wine trade reaching more than $5.3 billion (€4.5 billion) annually, creating jobs and investment and supporting sustainable agriculture on both sides of the Atlantic. We ask our governments to further support the economic vitality and diversity of our wine sectors by working to remove all tariffs on wine to achieve a “zero for zero” wine trade environment.

  • CP Michel RAISON Sécurité Routière 11 Janvier 2018
    ! ! Jeudi 11 janvier 2018 ! ! - Communiqué de presse - ! Prévention routière : les Sénateurs demandent la création d’une mission d’information ! Les Sénateurs cosignataires de la lettre ouverte demandant au Gouvernement les résultats de l’expérimentation sur la réduction de la vitesse - initiée par Michel RAISON, Sénateur de la Haute- Saône - ont pris acte de la décision du Premier Ministre de généraliser l’abaissement à 80km/h de la vitesse sur toutes les routes du réseau secondaire sans séparateur central. Ils dénoncent une nouvelle fois la méthode employée par le Gouvernement qui a choisi « la posture de la démagogie en cherchant à culpabiliser et à infantiliser les parlementaires ayant eu l’impudence de l’interpeller sur les résultats de l’expérimentation engagée depuis plus de deux ans ». « Après avoir évité toute concertation préalable sur un sujet aussi important, après avoir ensuite cherché à fuir tout débat, le Gouvernement a finalement été contraint sous la pression de reconnaître que cette expérimentation ne pouvait légitimer sa décision » pointent les Sénateurs qui regrettent « la précipitation d’une généralisation sur 400 000 kilomètres alors que d’autres solutions plus adaptées aux réalités locales étaient proposées par des élus ». « En imposant unilatéralement des mesures hâtives, en clamant vouloir assumer le mauvais rôle, le Premier ministre a rejeté tout esprit de pédagogie. Il a ainsi renoncé à l’adhésion de millions d’automobilistes le plus souvent raisonnables à une décision dont l’impact est réel pour leur quotidien, en particulier dans les zones rurales » soulignent les cosignataires. « Toute politique ambitieuse - surtout en matière de sécurité routière - doit être empreinte d’une forte acceptabilité sociale.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Public Incentives Harmful to Biodiversity
    REPORTS & DOCUMENTS Public Incentives Harmful to Biodiversity Sustainable Development Report of the commission chaired by Guillaume Sainteny Public Incentives Harmful to Biodiversity Guillaume Sainteny Chairman Jean-Michel Salles Vice-Chairman Peggy Duboucher, Géraldine Ducos, Vincent Marcus, Erwan Paul Rapporteurs Dominique Auverlot, Jean-Luc Pujol Coordinators October 2011 March 2015 for the English version Foreword Public debate has sometimes tended to equate preservation of biodiversity with the emblematic fate of certain endangered species. We now know the importance of protecting fauna and flora as a whole, not only in certain “hotspots” upon the earth, but even in our local meadows and lawns. Of course, this involves not only the variety of species – and thereby the planet’s genetic heritage –, but also the many interactions between the latter (through pollination, predation and symbiosis) and the full scope of “services rendered” to mankind. For even though we are not always aware of it, mankind benefits from the immense services freely provided by ecosystems. This is the source from which we draw our food, as well as fuel and building materials. Apart from these “appropriable” goods, biodiversity enables the purification of water, climate stabilisation and mitigation, and the regulation of floods, droughts and epidemics. In short, biodiversity is vital for us. Yet, throughout the world, an increasingly rapid rate of decline in biodiversity has been observed for several decades, giving rise to fears of serious upheavals in our

Since then, two European space agency (ESA) ministerial conferences have been held, one in Naples and the other in Luxembourg. At France's initiative, the Luxembourg meeting decided to design a new launcher (Ariane 6) and to establish a new model of governance that entrusts a greater role to industry. How has competition among launchers (SpaceX, new entrants) evolved? What is European industrial sector policy? What are the priorities for European space strategy? In this new context, how should French and European space policy governance change? organized by Catherine Procaccia Jean-Yves Le Déaut Bruno Sido Senator, MP, Senator, Vice-president of OPECST President of OPECST First vice-president of OPECST Thursday July 7th 2015 2 pm - 6 pm At the Assemblée nationale, room Lamartine, 101 rue de l’Université - Paris 7th (simultaneous interpretation in English and French) OPECST - Assemblée nationale - 101 rue de l’Université - Bât F - 75355 Paris 07 SP - tél : 01 40 63 70 65 Sénat - 15 rue de Vaugirard - 75291 Paris Cedex 06 - tél : 01 42 34 25 58 www.opecst.assemblee-nationale.fr - http://www.senat.fr/opecst/index.html Mr. Jean-Yves Le Déaut, MP, European space policy - 2 - Mr. Bruno Sido and Mrs. Catherine Procaccia, senators The OPECST, which was set up by Law n° 83-609 of July 8, 1983, following a unanimous vote of Parliament, aims, within the terms of the Law, "to inform Parliament of the consequences of the choice of scientific and technological options, in particular, so as to enable it to make enlightened decisions”.
