  • 2016 Business Mission Report
    10th Australian Business Mission to Europe Zurich, Bern, Brussels, Helsinki 26 June - 1 July 2016 Mission Report Supported by EABC Major Partner: (Executive Summary) Introduction The EABC Australian Business Mission to Europe is undertaken each year as an initiative to strengthen bilateral relationships with European leaders, institutions, officials, peak business groups and policy organisations. The Missions travel to Brussels as the political and administrative capital of the European Union, and to other political and commercial capitals in Europe. Since 2006, EABC delegations have travelled to Berlin, Bratislava, Budapest, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Geneva, Hamburg, Istanbul, London, Madrid, Milan, Munich, Paris, Rotterdam, Stockholm, Strasbourg, The Hague, Toulouse, Venice, Vienna and Warsaw. The visits provide opportunities for senior Australian business representatives to engage in dialogue on issues including policy responses to the global financial crisis, economic and fiscal policy, banking and financial services, foreign and security policy, trade, competition, energy and climate change policy, infrastructure, research and innovation. The Missions also provide a valuable opportunity for Australian business leaders to work with Australian Government representatives in Europe - principally with Australian Embassies and Austrade offices - to profile Australia’s economic credentials and capabilities and promote opportunities for European investment in Australia. Mission Leader & Endorsements The Council was delighted to have the leadership and participation of EABC Chairman and former Premier of New South Wales, the Hon Nick Greiner AC, for the 2016 Mission to Zurich, Bern, Brussels and Helsinki. The Prime Minister of Australia, the Hon Malcolm Turnbull MP, also endorsed the mission as an important initiative to foster greater economic relations between Australia and Europe.

They were soon joined by Poland’s Law and Justice Party and, following the European elections in June 2009, the European Conservatives and Reformists Group was born. It pledged to challenge the status quo in the European Parliament, where deals were often struck by a handful of party leaders behind closed doors. Not surprisingly our political opponents tried to block us, predicting that the ECR could not last. They were wrong. To the surprise and chagrin of many in Brussels, we emerged from the 2014 elections as the Parliament’s third largest group with 70 MEPs from 15 different member states and myself as chairman.

  • Women Candidates and Party Practice in the UK: Evidence from the 2009 European Elections
    Women candidates and party practice in the UK: evidence from the 2009 European Elections Abstract Existing comparative research suggests that women candidates have better opportunities for electoral success when standing in (i) second order elections and (ii) PR elections - the 2009 European Elections provide an example of both criteria. This paper examines the 2009 results to build upon earlier work on the 1999 and 2004 elections by considering (i) regional patterns across parties, with reference to any strategies to improve women‟s representation (ii) incumbency effects (iii) effects of changes in seat shares across parties. --------- EXISTING research on previous European elections demonstrated that the willingness of political parties to place women in the top places on party lists varied, equity in terms of candidate numbers did not result in equity in representation if women languished at the lower end of party lists. Furthermore, virtually all parties failed to take advantage of their own retiring MEPs to promote women1. In the 2005 European Election it was clear that both the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats had taken the most „positive action‟, whilst Conservative equality rhetoric had failed to materialise into notable female candidate selection, and the electoral success of UKIP served as a hindrance to female representation in general. The number of UK MEPs in total declined from 78 (three in Northern Ireland) in 2004 to 72 in 2009 (69 in Great Britain). Women constitute just under 32% of MEPs, compared to 24% as a result of the 2004 elections. The mainstream political parties in the UK foster different attitudes towards equality promotion and equality guarantees.
