However, only a small number of citizens are aware of their right to petition, as some are intimated Panel Speakers: by excessive bureaucracy while others are not aware of what matters fall under Carsten Berg Campaign General Coordinator, EU fields of activity. For these reasons, further efforts should be made in order to European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) raise awareness about this instrument. The European Citizens Initiative is a revolutionary tool of transnational participatory democracy through which Rainer Wieland citizens can call upon the European Commission to propose new or change MEP, EPP Group, existing European legislation. How can we make this and other instruments more Vice-President of the EP, Substitute Member of the Committee on petitions effective in bringing the EU closer to citizens?

Many party systems have become highly fragmented and political landscapes Panel Speakers: are quickly changing. Voting behaviour is transitioning towards more volatility. Karoline Edstadler What has changed and why is the approach of people’s parties facing growing MEP, EPP Group pressure?

Working life is changing, as Eoin Drea many entry-level positions are vanishing and the trust in the pension system is Senior Research Officer, Martens Centre shaking. At the same time, in many countries, the EPP is losing young voters to greens, populists, and liberals. How do we address these challenges and Juha-Pekka Nurvala Senior Political Adviser, EPP redeem our credibility as the voice of the future? What should be the centre-right approach to not only address youth unemployment, but the broader challenges Mikael Lehtonen facing this generation?

    Mr Josep Borrell Vice-President of the European Commission High Representative of the Union for the CFSP Rue De La Loi 170 1000 Brussels

    Mr Josep Borrell Vice-President of the European Commission High Representative of the Union for the CFSP Rue de la Loi 170 1000 Brussels Brussels, 16th April 2021 Dear Mr. High Representative; Mr Vice-President of the Commission: A delegation from the illegitimate National Assembly of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which emerged from the electoral farce organised on 6th December 2020 by the regime of Nicolás Maduro, recently paid a visit to Brussels and was officially received by the institution you lead. According to a statement you made on behalf of the European Union on 6th December, this spurious process took place in the absence of electoral conditions that could have guaranteed its credibility, without any respect for political pluralism, and in an atmosphere of persecution and disqualification of democratic leaders whose legitimate rights were curtailed. Your statement concludes that such circumstances could not consider this process credible, inclusive, and transparent and therefore the results did not represent the will of the Venezuelan people. That initial statement was confirmed on 6 January of this year by a new declaration, in similar terms to those expressed on 6 December, and by the conclusions of the Foreign Affairs Council of 25 January. These reiterated the lack of recognition of the electoral process and regretted the behaviour of the authorities of the Maduro regime, whose actions are preventing a solution to the serious crisis in Venezuela. We were surprised and gravely concerned to learn that on 14th April, at your request, senior officials of the European External Action Service received the aforementioned delegation, comprising Iris Varela, Pedro Carreño and Desirée Santos Amaral, at the EEAS headquarters.

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.

    A Look at the New European Parliament Page 1 INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMITTEE (INTA)

    THE NEW EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT KEY COMMITTEE COMPOSITION 31 JULY 2019 INTRODUCTION After several marathon sessions, the European Council agreed on the line-up for the EU “top jobs” on 2 July 2019. The deal, which notably saw German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen (CDU, EPP) surprisingly designated as the next European Commission (EC) President, meant that the European Parliament (EP) could proceed with the election of its own leadership on 3 July. The EPP and Renew Europe (formerly ALDE) groups, in line with the agreement, did not present candidates for the EP President. As such, the vote pitted the S&D’s David-Maria Sassoli (IT) against two former Spitzenkandidaten – Ska Keller (DE) of the Greens and Jan Zahradil (CZ) of the ACRE/ECR, alongside placeholder candidate Sira Rego (ES) of GUE. Sassoli was elected President for the first half of the 2019 – 2024 mandate, while the EPP (presumably EPP Spitzenkandidat Manfred Weber) would take the reins from January 2022. The vote was largely seen as a formality and a demonstration of the three largest Groups’ capacity to govern. However, Zahradil received almost 100 votes (more than the total votes of the ECR group), and Keller received almost twice as many votes as there are Greens/EFA MEPs. This forced a second round in which Sassoli was narrowly elected with just 11 more than the necessary simple majority. Close to 12% of MEPs did not cast a ballot. MEPs also elected 14 Vice-Presidents (VPs): Mairead McGuinness (EPP, IE), Pedro Silva Pereira (S&D, PT), Rainer Wieland (EPP, DE), Katarina Barley (S&D, DE), Othmar Karas (EPP, AT), Ewa Kopacz (EPP, PL), Klara Dobrev (S&D, HU), Dita Charanzová (RE, CZ), Nicola Beer (RE, DE), Lívia Járóka (EPP, HU) and Heidi Hautala (Greens/EFA, FI) were elected in the first ballot, while Marcel Kolaja (Greens/EFA, CZ), Dimitrios Papadimoulis (GUE/NGL, EL) and Fabio Massimo Castaldo (NI, IT) needed the second round.

  • 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!
