Ambassador of the Federative Republic of Brazil to the EU, Marcos Galvão (pro tempore presidency of Mercosur) Matthias Jørgensen, Head of Unit, Trade Relations with Latin America, DG Trade, European Commission Veronique Lorenzo, Head of Unit, South America, European External Action Service Ambassador Marcos Galvão said that the EU-Mercosur Association Agreement had a special meaning since it had been adopted in a turbulent international climate, less favourable to rules-based international trade, and with the WTO in deadlock, and stressed the scale and scope of the benefits of the agreement for both parties. He pointed out that the agreement did not seek deregulation but rather greater regulation of relations between the parties. In this regard, he recalled that the agreement provided for the application of the precautionary principle to all parties and sought to implement in Mercosur countries of a set of rules already applicable in the EU. Matthias Jorgensen (DG TRADE) underlined that the agreement was a clear sign of the value of predictable and rules-based international trade relations, and stressed that the agreement provided for an undertaking by all parties to comply with international agreements such as the ILO conventions and the Paris Agreement on climate change. He further underlined that the agreement boosted regional integration within Mercosur. Veronique Lorenzo (EEAS) stressed that the agreement strengthened the strategic partnership between the two regions and provided instruments to foster compliance by both sides with commitments in many sectors, including the environment, and to structure dialogue on many issues of common interest. She also emphasised that the role of civil society under the agreement needed to be bolstered. Some members of the delegation stressed the importance of the agreement which, in addition to trade, has made provision for regulations in many sectors, and underlined the spirit of openness and predictability with which both regions have entered into this agreement. Mention was made of the need to clarify and improve the mechanisms for implementing and monitoring the agreement in order to ensure that the parties comply with its provisions, and a call was made for greater efforts to explain content, in particular in relation to agriculture and the environment. Speakers: Jordi Cañas, Manuel Fernandes, Gabriele Bischoff, Mónica Silvana González, Mairead McGuinness, Nicola Danti 6. Exchange of views with H.E. Ambassador of the Republic of Argentina to the EU, Héctor Marcelo Cima, on the results of the presidential elections in Argentina Ambassador Marcelo Cima reported on the results of the Argentinian elections held on 27 PE596.558v01-00 2/8 PV\1196756EN.docx EN October 2019, from which the coalition ‘Frente de Todos’ had emerged victorious in 20 provinces, resulting in its leader, Alberto Fernández, becoming president of the country. In addition, ‘Frente de Todos’ secured a majority in both legislative chambers. The Ambassador highlighted how orderly the transfer of powers had been and referred to the challenges faced by the new government, such as management of the economic crisis and returning the economy to growth. Members enquired about the degree of public access to the documentation on the EU- Mercosur Association Agreement and expressed fears that the economic crisis would affect Argentina’s commitments regarding the payment of its debt and compliance with the EU- Mercosur Association Agreement. Speakers: Mónica Silvana González, Marco Campomenosi, Jordi Cañas, Gabriele Bischoff. 7. Exchange of views with H.E. Ambassador of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay to the EU, Carlos Pérez del Castillo, on the results of the presidential elections in Uruguay Ambassador Pérez del Castillo presented the results of the legislative and presidential elections in Uruguay, which had taken place in an exemplary manner. The Ambassador informed the Delegation that the Frente Amplio had won a slight majority in both chambers, but that coalitions and alliances would be needed to pass legislation. Luis Lacalle Pou, leader of the ‘Partido Nacional’ coalition, had won in the second round of the presidential elections. In response to questions from Members, the Ambassador stated that the new government would continue to support the ratification of the EU-Mercosur Agreement and that the development of infrastructure would remain a priority for government action. Speakers: Marco Campomenosi, Jordi Cañas. 8. Debate on the Delegation’s political priorities for 2020 This debate was postponed to the next meeting. PV\1196756EN.docx 3/8 PE596.558v01-00 EN 9. Other business H.E. Ambassador of Paraguay to the EU, Rigoberto Gauto, briefly intervened to express his gratitude for the imminent visit to Paraguay of a European Parliament delegation to follow up on Paraguay’s compliance with the recommendations of the EU Election Observation Mission carried out during the elections held in Paraguay in April 2018. 10. Date and place of next meeting The Secretariat announced that the date and place of the next meeting would be announced in due course. The meeting closed at 11.00.

  • 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. 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].

  • 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.

  • Ms Ursula Von Der Leyen, President of the European Commission European Commission Rue De La Loi/Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels
    Ms Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission European Commission Rue de la Loi/Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels Mr Charles Michel, President of the European Council European Commission Rue de la Loi/Wetstraat 175 1049 Brussels Brussels, 27 July 2020 Dear President von der Leyen, Dear President Michel, With this letter, we would like to draw your attention to the Polish government’s expressed intent to withdraw from the Istanbul Convention on fighting domestic violence. This latest development shows that we can never take women’s rights for granted. This is disrespectful, a clear violation of women’s rights and unacceptable. The signal the Polish government is sending is a highly troubling one in times that are already challenging for women. Women have been hit disproportionally hard by the Covid-19 crisis and face an increase in cases of domestic violence. The European Union is founded upon shared values that are enshrined in our Treaties, amongst them equality between men and women. We cannot regress on these core values stipulated in Article 2 TEU. We should never accept it when one of our Member States backtracks from equality. That is why we call on you, as the President of the European Commission, guardian of the treaties, and as the President of the European Council, to do everything within your power to discourage the Polish government from taking this misstep. Madam President, in your political guidelines, you made the commitment that the EU’s accession to the Istanbul Convention is a key priority for the Commission and that if the accession remains blocked in the Council, you would consider tabling proposals on minimum standards regarding the definition of certain types of violence, and strengthening the Victims’ Rights Directive.

  • Ms. Adina Vălean Brussels, 30 March 2020 European Commissioner for Transport
    Ms. Adina Vălean Brussels, 30 March 2020 European Commissioner for Transport Ms. Margrethe Vestager Executive Vice President of the European Commission, in charge of competition policy Subject: COVID-19: Maritime rescue and recovery action plan Dear Commissioner, Dear Executive Vice-President, The COVID-19 outbreak has developed into a catastrophic event affecting many countries and their citizens around the globe. The maritime sector, responsible for almost 90% of EU’s external freight trade and 32% of the intra EU transport of goods is at stake. The EU’s internal market, citizens and industries need the smooth and timely transportation of essential goods, food, medicines and a vast range of products of first necessity. Mitigating the economic impact of the crisis and ensuring the continuity of industry and supply chains is of utmost importance for EU citizens and our European Single market. The expected transport of volumes for all good flows are already lagging behind the original forecasts, with a particularly negative effect on container transport. Moreover, the slowdown of the Global and European economy will have an effect of which we cannot yet determine the magnitude. Firstly, we would like to thank you and the entire Commission for recognising transport as one the most affected sectors by the COVID-19 crisis. In this regard, we also welcome the measures you have taken so far to compensate the economic damages, to guide Member States across the Union when it comes to the border management and the accompanying implementation guidelines. However, the sea and inland ports and the shipping industry urgently need a sector-specific rescue and recovery action plan in order to ensure the continuity of seaborne trade to and from the EU, as well as intra -EU, and to ensure the health and the safety of transport workers in the sector.

  • The Manifesto for Fair Internships
    Manifesto for #FairInternships We support the call of the Global Intern Strike for equal access to fair, quality internships for ALL young people. ● Equality: Internships need to be paid so that they are accessible to all, regardless of socio-economic background. ● Fairness: Interns must have basic employment rights such as protection from harassment and fair working conditions. ● Quality: Internships should offer meaningful learning experiences that help young people successfully transition from education to employment. We believe that all EU institutions should ban unpaid internships. ● We call all EU institutions to take the necessary steps to provide quality and well remunerated internships to ALL its interns and to stop offering unpaid internships altogether and avoid having a parallel system of less regulated internships aside from their regular internship program. ● We call the European Ombudsman to continue investigating the situation of unpaid interns in EU institutions after its recommendation on the EEAS practice of offering unpaid internships offered in EU delegations. To this end, the European Parliament should change its rules governing internships offered by MEP’s and political groups, taking into account the following demands: ● Pay trainees in in MEP offices or political groups a decent remuneration at a similar level as the Schuman trainees! The remuneration should cover living expenses in Brussels or the city where the traineeship is undertaken. The remuneration needs to be clearly included in the trainee’s contract. If provided by another institution, this needs to be documented and included in the trainee’s contract. ● Fix the standard duration of traineeships to 6 months and limit the maximum duration to 12 months.

This vaccination card would take into account national vaccination schedules, be compatible with electronic immunisation information systems and be accredited for cross-border use, thereby reducing duplications. The adoption of a common vaccination card is even more urgent in light of the imminent roll-out of COVID-19 vaccines. People in the EU who have received the vaccine should be able to prove this to authorities in an easy, effective manner without having their personal data and privacy compromised. The vaccination card could facilitate travel during the pandemic, strengthen the case for vaccines, support immunisation monitoring, and ultimately bring an end to pandemic restrictions through active acquired immunity.

Ares(2020)2751335 - 27/05/2020 JANUSZ WOJCIECHOWSKI Commissioner for Agriculture Brussels, 25.05.2020 (2020)3063219 Dear Ms Tolleret, dear Honourable Members, Thank you for your letter of 15 April in which you explain all your concerns relating to the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on the European wine sector. I share your concerns about the extremely negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the farming community and on its economy. It was a matter of urgency to provide help and relief to European agricultural producers and to the wine sector in particular. This is why the Commission responded very rapidly by adopting on 30 April and on 4 May last, a package of market measures under Regulation (EU) No 1308/20131. Based on the urgency procedure enabled by Article 228 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, two Delegated Regulations2 are already in force and in application subject to no objection being voiced by the co-legislators. The remaining Delegated Regulation3 was transmitted to the Parliament on the day of its adoption by the Commission. Lastly, nine additional Implementing Regulations adopted by the Commission on 30 April 2020 became applicable as of 4 May 2020.
