Chair's announcement to inform the Committee on the WPoFCP meeting the 22 November 2011-12-21 Members of the WPoFCP discussed and agreed to propose the following to the Committee on Regional Development regarding the negotiations strategy: PE476.080v01-00 4/12 PV\884511EN.doc EN 1.1. The political target deadline for the adoption of the legislative package should be the end of 2012. The regulations should not be adopted before concluding the procedure on the MFF. However, the work is to be done in a parallel way. 1.2. The Rapporteurs will pursue negotiations with the EC and presidency individually, as it is customary in Parliament, but coordinated by the Chair and at the WPoFCP. The EC and the presidency will present regularly to the WP their views and the advancement the works. The Chair will participate in the trilogues when necessary or pertinent as requested by the Rules of Procedure and Code of Conduct. 1.3. The Rapporteurs should present their draft legislative reports in spring 2012. This could allow going to plenary either before or immediately after summer. 1.4. Most relevant issues and topics will be debated at the WP and later, when the debate is ripe, at the committee. The package should be dealt with at committee level as frequent as needed and at least every two meetings. Decisions on procedure and any other major issue will need to be always taken by the committee. Not all the reports should always be at the committees agenda; this would depend on the needs and problems arising during the negotiations. 1.5. Coordination with other committees is important in this procedure. Coordination with EMPL is central as they are responsible for three regulations in the package. The Chairs of the two committees should meet in order to further clarify and align positions if necessary. CONT is a committee which claims exclusive competence in several articles of the General regulation and the ERDF. Even if REGI cannot accept to break down the General regulation in pieces, we consider of paramount importance to have enhanced relations with the committee. The Chair and the secretariat will try to find an agreement which will make possibility a closer cooperation with this committee. Finally, the Chair reminded that it has also been decided to use the Working Party as a forum for debate, coordination and receiving evidence. Members agreed to the need of additional input from the EC and stressed the need to organise such exchanges in order PV\884511EN.doc 5/12 PE476.080v01-00 EN to get an in-depth insight into the proposals. The committee agreed with these proposals. The meeting adjourned at 12:20 and resumed on at 15:15 with Danuta Maria Hübner (Chair) in the chair. 10. The role of Cohesion Policy in the outermost regions of the European Union in the context of EU 2020 REGI/7/06912 2011/2195(INI) Rapporteur: Nuno Teixeira (PPE) DT – PE475.857v01-00 Responsible: REGI Opinions: BUDG, ITRE Consideration of working document Exchange of views with the following guest speakers: - Pedro Solbes Mira, former European Commissioner; author of the report "Europe’s outermost regions and the Single Market: The EU’s influence in the world" - Ana-Paula Laissy, Head of Unit, Co-ordination of outermost regions at EU Commission DG REGIO Speakers: Nuno Teixeira, Joachim Zeller, Luís Paulo Alves, Lambert van Nistelrooij, Jan Olbrycht, María Irigoyen Pérez, Pedro Solbes Mira, Ana-Paula Laissy 11.

How citizens, cities and parliaments should cooperate for Europe” Citizens are the cause and goal of the European Union. However, those citizens, as well as the cities and regions they live in, represent not only the basis of Europe – they are also jointly responsible for the success of the European unification process. This panel discussion confronts the citizens with the top-down mechanisms of everyday life in Europe. It demands for new methods of sharing responsibility in order for the European unification process to succeed. The opening event will discuss statements of representatives from each level of political responsibility: Emil Boc (Mayor of Cluj-Napoca), Elmar Brok (MEP; President Union of European Federalists), Karl-Heinz Lambertz (President Committee of the Regions), Gerry Woop (State Secretary for European Affairs, City of Berlin), Juan Gabriel Vásquez (writer) The panel is moderated by Laura Kleiner, Carin Tiggeloven members of the initiative “Wir sind Europa!”

  • 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.

  • Antonio Tajani President, European Parliament Boyko Borisov President
    Stefano Maullu Deputato al Parlamento Europeo Antonio Tajani President, European Parliament Boyko Borisov President of the Council (January- June 2018) Frans Timmermans First Vice-President of the European Commission (Better Regulation, Interinstitutional Relations, the Rule of Law and the Charter of Fundamental Rights) Maroš Šefčovič Vice-President of the European Commission for Energy Union Miguel Arias Cañete European Commissioner for Climate Action and Energy Jerzy Buzek Chair of the ITRE Committee, European Parliament Brussels, 10 January 2018 Dear Presidents, Dear Vice Presidents, Dear Commissioner, Dear Chair, We would like to bring to your attention several critical issues related to the European Commission’s proposal for amendments to the Gas Directive 2009/73/EC.We are concerned about a deviation from established decision-making practice and the principles of better regulation, a key priority of President Juncker and First Vice-President Timmermans which we fully support. 1. The European Commission’s proposal envisages the expansion of the rules of the EU Gas Directive to all existing and future onshore and offshore external gas pipelines. The wording of the proposal seems to significantly change the scope of the existing legislation. It touches upon investment framework and multibillion infrastructure projects. We believe that it is important to make sure that these amendments are subject to ordinary legislative scrutiny by the Members of the Parliament. 2. However, as we understand, no in-depth evaluation of their impact was carried out, nor 12-week stakeholder consultations of such an impact assessment were held prior to the announcement of the proposed amendments. At the same time, the absence of relevant data and a tight timeline for the fast legislative procedure could undermine adequate scrutiny of the proposed legislation by the co-legislators.

BRAGER A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Women’s & Gender Studies Written under the direction of Judith Gerson And approved by New Brunswick, New Jersey MAY, 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Bodies of Evidence: The Image, the Flesh, and the Modern Crisis of the Human By JENNA R. BRAGER Dissertation Director: Judith Gerson Bodies of Evidence is a study of the transnational optics of anti-blackness across German and U.S. settler colonial projects, with a particular attention to the afterlives of visual discourses in present-day politics and memory. This dissertation analyzes case studies from the U.S., Germany, and German South West Africa, what is present-day Namibia, to track the trace of settler colonial and racial ideologies across seemingly discrete and ruptural violences. Rather than continue to treat these histories and archives as distinct or hierarchical instances of violence, I argue for the importance of interpreting them as part of a broader, uninterrupted narrative. Bodies of Evidence adopts a transnational scope that places settler colonial violence—including the Herero and Nama genocide in German South West Africa—alongside European genocide, framing these events as part of the same ideological and scopic regime. My interdisciplinary analysis builds upon critical race theory, critical visual studies, postcolonial and Black feminist scholarship, museum studies, biological anthropology, among other interdisciplinary and theoretical threads.
