  • Accusations Against Hungary - Embezzlement of EU Funds“ Wednesday, 13Th July 2016 – European Parliament Brussels
    Press Meeting Niedermüller/Weidenholzer/Sippel „Accusations against Hungary - embezzlement of EU funds“ Wednesday, 13th July 2016 – European Parliament Brussels PRESS MEETING „Accusations against Hungary - embezzlement of EU funds“ 13/07/2016 11h00-12h00 - PHS 00B001 (glass room) hosted by: Josef Weidenholzer, S&D Vice President „Citizens‘ Europe“, AT Peter Niedermüller, S&D Treasurer, HU Birgit Sippel, S&D coordinator LIBE, DE Premise: Over the last years, there have been a number of reports from Hungary, that money from European funds that had been allocated to different projects in infrastructure and training, was not used efficiently. Examples show that large proportions of the sums have been used for the administration of those projects and research studies. In 2015 the OLAF-report finds 17 cases in Hungary which present the suspicion of fraud. In 14 cases there is the justified suspicion of embezzlement of EU funds. OLAF recommends that the Commission should ask Hungary for a refund. Between 2008-2015 there were a total of 22 official recommendations for investigation to the Hungarian law enforcement agencies, but the Hungarian prosecution service looked only into four cases, three of which it decided to not investigate further. The European Parliament has the responsibility to make sure that the taxpayers’ money is used in an accountable and efficient manner. Therefore, a group of MEPs from several political groups, including the hosts of this press meeting, will prepare a parliamentary question in order to ask the European Commission

  • Stop Turkey´S Attacks Against Afrin Appel À La Paix Et Au Dialogue
    Strasbourg, 6 February 2018 Declaration for peace and dialogue: Stop Turkey´s attacks against Afrin In the past few days, Turkish air strikes have been launched against Afrin, a Kurdish region in Northern Syria, killing and wounding several civilians. This Turkish military operation is taking place without any provocation or attack by either Kurds in this region, or by Syria. The European signatories of this declaration urge the European Commission and the Member States to redouble their political efforts to demand that Turkey immediately stops its military offensive. We also request the urgent reactivation of the dialogue in the framework of the Geneva talks on Syria, involving all parties, including the Kurds. We further recognise that the fight of the Kurds in the front line against Daesh also contributes to European security. The destabilisation that Turkey’s attack will cause in this area seriously threatens the security of the entire region. The silence or equidistance of the European Union and the international community is not an option. We, the undersigned MEPs, call on the EU and the UN to take action in order for these attacks to stop immediately. Appel à la paix et au dialogue : la Turquie doit cesser immédiatement son intervention militaire à Afrine Ces derniers jours, des frappes aériennes turques ont été lancées contre Afrine, une région kurde du nord de la Syrie, tuant et blessant plusieurs civils. Cette opération militaire turque se déroule sans aucune provocation ni attaque de la part des Kurdes de cette région ou de la Syrie. Les députés européens signataires de cette déclaration exhortent la Commission européenne et les États membres à redoubler d’efforts politiques pour exiger que la Turquie arrête immédiatement son offensive militaire.

    Ana Gomes Member of the European Parliament His Excellency Mr. Joko Widodo President of the Republic of Indonesia Istana Merdeka Jl. Medan Merdeka Utara Jakarta 10110 Indonesia Email – [email protected] Brussels, 06 March 2015 Excellency, We are writing to you as Members of the European Parliament, to urge you to use all your power as President of the Republic of Indonesia to halt all plans to carry out all executions, including those of foreign nationals planned to be carried out shortly. This news is most concerning as it sets Indonesia against the global trend towards abolition of the death penalty and the country’s own progress in this area as an aftermath of the dramatic struggle at the turn of the 20 th century, as the Indonesian people and its society progressed towards democracy and the respect for human rights. There is no convincing evidence that the death penalty deters crime more effectively than other punishments. We therefore are writing to urge Your Excellency to use all your power as President of the Republic and instruct the Indonesian authorities to establish a moratorium on all executions commuting all death sentences to terms of imprisonment and to push forward the legal framework for Indonesia’s abolishment of the death penalty. This gesture will certainly set a positive landmark in your presidency both in the eyes of the Indonesian people and the international community. Yours sincerely, Petr Ježek, MEP Czech Republic Carlos Coelho, MEP Portugal Jude Kirton-Darling, MEP United Kingdom Maite Pagazaurtundúa, MEP Spain Gilles Pargneaux, MEP France Kati Piri, MEP Netherlands Anne-Marie Mineur, MEP Netherlands Helmut Scholz, MEP Germany Norbert Neuser, MEP Germany Ana Gomes European Parliament Bât.
