Member States may decide, on the basis of objective criteria and within the limit set out in paragraph 2, on the amounts of transitional national aid to be granted. 4. Member States may decide to adapt the reference period for the decoupled transitional national aid schemes. The adapted reference period cannot be later than 1 June 2018. Or. en Justification Transitional National Aid was introduced in 2004 with the aim to support the new EU Member States and to serve as an additional income support for the most vulnerable sectors and farmers, genuinely in need to supplement their income. TNA is budget neutral for the EU and has a significant social effect in supporting employment in rural areas. TNA will continue to apply during CAP transitional period but small farmers need predictability over the next 7 years. Since MFF cannot guarantee full external convergence of direct payments until 2027, it is crucial to keep TNA at the current levels.

  • Mr Josep Borrell Vice-President of the European Commission High Representative of the Union for the CFSP Rue De La Loi 170 1000 Brussels
    Mr Josep Borrell Vice-President of the European Commission High Representative of the Union for the CFSP Rue de la Loi 170 1000 Brussels Brussels, 16th April 2021 Dear Mr. High Representative; Mr Vice-President of the Commission: A delegation from the illegitimate National Assembly of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which emerged from the electoral farce organised on 6th December 2020 by the regime of Nicolás Maduro, recently paid a visit to Brussels and was officially received by the institution you lead. According to a statement you made on behalf of the European Union on 6th December, this spurious process took place in the absence of electoral conditions that could have guaranteed its credibility, without any respect for political pluralism, and in an atmosphere of persecution and disqualification of democratic leaders whose legitimate rights were curtailed. Your statement concludes that such circumstances could not consider this process credible, inclusive, and transparent and therefore the results did not represent the will of the Venezuelan people. That initial statement was confirmed on 6 January of this year by a new declaration, in similar terms to those expressed on 6 December, and by the conclusions of the Foreign Affairs Council of 25 January. These reiterated the lack of recognition of the electoral process and regretted the behaviour of the authorities of the Maduro regime, whose actions are preventing a solution to the serious crisis in Venezuela. We were surprised and gravely concerned to learn that on 14th April, at your request, senior officials of the European External Action Service received the aforementioned delegation, comprising Iris Varela, Pedro Carreño and Desirée Santos Amaral, at the EEAS headquarters.

  • Hon. Mr President of the European Parliament, Dear David Sassoli
    Hon. Mr President of the European Parliament, Dear David Sassoli, Since March, when the outbreak of COVID-19 intensified in Europe, the functioning of the European Parliament (EP) has changed dramatically, due to the sanitary measures applied. We understand the inevitability of the contingency plan, taking into account the need to prevent infection and the spread of the virus and to protect the health and lives of people. Six months later, the functioning of the EP is gradually returning to normal. However, there are services whose unavailability seriously impairs parliamentary work, namely the interpretation service. The European Union (EU) has 24 official languages and all deserve the same respect and treatment. We recognize that the number of languages available in committee meeting rooms has been increasing, but even so, more than half of the languages still have no interpretation. Multilingualism is a right enshrined in the Treaties that allows Members to express themselves in their own language. Now, that is not happening and we are concerned that the situation will continue, even taking into account the expected workflow in the commissions after these atypical six months. In this sense, we appeal, once again, to you, the President of the EP for the application of the letter and the spirit of the principle of multilingualism, finding solutions that respect this principle and that allow the use of any of the 24 official languages of the EU. The expression of each deputy in her/his own language is a priority so that there can be conditions to fully exercise the mandate for which she/he was elected and a condition of respect for the citizens who elected her/him.

The formally united European Community has to contend with a scarcity of actual cohesion. Internal contradictions hamper joint action, undermine the competitiveness of the economy and block free market mechanisms. Political instability around Europe hampers development planning and impedes initiative. The future of our Europe is a set of difficult questions. The European Economic Congress will attempt to answer them. 10.00-10.10 Opening of the Congress and reception of Guests: – Wojciech Kuśpik – Chairman of the Board, PTWP SA, Initiator of the European Economic Congress – Piotr Litwa – Voivode of Silesia – Wojciech Saługa – Marshal of the Silesian Voivodeship – Marcin Krupa – Mayor of Katowice – Jerzy Buzek – Member of the European Parliament, President of the European Parliament between 2009-2012, Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland between 1997-2001, Chairman of the Council of the EEC 10.10-10.30 Inaugural speeches: – Bronisław Komorowski – President of the Republic of Poland – Andrej Kiska – President of the Slovak Republic 10.30-12.00 300 billion for the new Europe.
