  • 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.

In recent weeks Pfizer and AstraZeneca, two of the pharmaceutical firms the furthest ahead at present in the manufacture of effective proven vaccines, announced that they would be obliged to reduce supplies for various reasons. This news has caused bewilderment among EU citizens, who have already endured months of this pandemic that has caused thousands of deaths and enormous damage to the EU’s social and economic fabric. In this context: 1. In the agreements concluded by the Commission, what terms and conditions apply to the supply of the vaccines, and what dissuasive measures and sanctions were included to protect citizens’ rights and the interests of the EU? 2. What measures will the Commission deploy to ensure that these delays are not repeated in the future, including in the event that vaccines from other pharmaceutical firms come onto the market? 3.

    Question for written answer E-001948/2021 to the Commission Rule 138 Massimiliano Smeriglio (S&D), Pietro Bartolo (S&D), Carlo Calenda (S&D), Giuseppe Ferrandino (S&D), Elisabetta Gualmini (S&D), Pierfrancesco Majorino (S&D), Pina Picierno (S&D), Franco Roberti (S&D) Subject: Protecting journalism in Europe: wire-tapping of journalists as part of the enquiry into NGOs According to recent press reports, Trapani Public Prosecutor’s Office has in recent years listened into the phone calls of at least 15 journalists, transcribing their conversations with their sources, colleagues and lawyers. The wire-taps were conducted as part of an enquiry launched in 2016 into the work of NGOs involved in rescue work in the Mediterranean. The journalists in question were following events concerning the NGOs but were not under investigation themselves. Their sources were therefore confidential and since they did not, moreover, provide the enquiry with information on the alleged contacts between humanitarian vessels and human traffickers, they should not have been exposed to any risk of disclosure and hence violation of the right to freedom of the press and the secrecy of its sources. Any failure to ensure that the relationship between journalists and their sources remains confidential would lead to these sources evaporating and make it impossible for the press to perform its duties to the best of its abilities. Can the Commission therefore indicate: 1. Whether it is aware of this case? 2. What specific initiatives it plans to take, within the ambit of the European Democracy Action Plan, to ensure better protection of the work done by journalists in Europe, especially as regards protecting professional secrecy and journalists’ sources, the disclosure of which compromises the relationship of trust that underpins journalism?

Underlines that the food and drink industry is the EU’s biggest manufacturing sector, employing more than 4.82 million people and adding EUR 266 billion in value; highlights the importance for all EU operators of a smoothly functioning single market in unlocking the full potential of the EU agri-food sector, stimulating greater competitiveness, growth and the creation of jobs including at regional and local level; points out that non-tariff barriers directly affect prices and generate major imbalances in farmers’ incomes; 2. Encourages the EU food and drink industry to continue its efforts to boost purchases of EU agricultural production; stresses that the proper functioning of the single market is key to safeguarding sufficient supplies of affordable and high-quality agri-food across the EU and is the best tool to ensure competitiveness, vibrant rural areas, decent incomes, a fair standard of living and a swift recovery for the European agri-food industry; recalls that obstacles to the smooth passage of food and animals across the EU can also be avoided by focusing investment on infrastructure such as roads and lairage facilities; 3.
