  • Letter by 466 European Parliamentarians Against Israeli De Facto Annexation of West Bank
    Letter by 466 European parliamentarians against Israeli de facto annexation of West Bank To: EU High Representative/Vice-President Josep Borrell European Foreign Ministers 28 February 2021 Dear High Representative Borrell, dear Foreign Ministers, The beginning of the Biden presidency provides a much-needed opportunity to address the Israeli- Palestinian conflict with renewed effort. The previous US administration left the conflict farther away from peace than ever. The Biden administration presents a chance to correct course and creates greater space for meaningful European engagement and leadership. In parallel, the announcement of Palestinian elections to be held in the coming months offers an opportunity for Palestinian political renewal and reunification. The recent regional normalization agreements with Israel led to the suspension of plans to formally annex West Bank territory. However, developments on the ground clearly point to a reality of rapidly progressing de facto annexation, especially through accelerated settlement expansion and demolitions of Palestinian structures. Despite the coronavirus pandemic, last year saw the highest number of demolitions of Palestinian homes and structures in four years, including humanitarian structures funded by European donors. This included the demolition of nearly an entire community in Khirbet Hamsa al-Foqa, in what the UN described as the largest forced displacement incident in over four years. At the same time, the advancement of illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory has skyrocketed, reaching the highest numbers since 2012, according to Peace Now. The recently approved construction of the Givat Hamatos settlement, previously referred to as Europe’s red line, is of particularly serious concern. Meanwhile, the humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate under the Israeli blockade, which is compounded by intra-Palestinian divisions.

  • 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.

  • Priority Question for Written Answer
    Priority question for written answer P-002058/2020 to the Commission Rule 138 Julie Lechanteux (ID), Mathilde Androuët (ID), Jordan Bardella (ID), Aurelia Beigneux (ID), Dominique Bilde (ID), Annika Bruna (ID), Gilbert Collard (ID), Jean-Paul Garraud (ID), Catherine Griset (ID), Jean-François Jalkh (ID), France Jamet (ID), Virginie Joron (ID), Herve Juvin (ID), Jean-Lin Lacapelle (ID), Hélène Laporte (ID), Gilles Lebreton (ID), Thierry Mariani (ID), André Rougé (ID), Nicolas Bay (ID), Maxette Pirbakas (ID) Subject: Legal basis for geo-tracking and the sharing of personal data during the coronavirus outbreak On 24 March 2020, the Commission revealed that it had held talks with telecommunications operators about joining forces to tackle the coronavirus outbreak. Thierry Breton, the Internal Market Commissioner, held a videoconference with the heads of Europe’s telecommunications companies and the GSMA (Global System for Mobile Communications) to explore options for sharing geolocation metadata in order to map and forecast the spread of the virus. The Commission claims that such a move would be fully in line with the General Data Protection Regulation and e-privacy legislation. How does the Commission intend to guarantee EU citizens full anonymisation of their personal data? How exactly does the Commission envisage using such data? Not content with surveillance and quarantine enforcement, Israel and a number of Asian countries have adopted a proactive AI-based approach that alerts individuals if they have been in contact with a virus carrier. How do the Commission’s plans compare, and what logistical support will it provide the Member States which opt for this approach? PE650.848v01-00.

  • 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.
