  • Members of the European Parliament Mr Janusz
    Members of the European Parliament Mr Janusz Wojciechowski Commissioner for Agriculture European Commission Rue de la Loi 200 B-1049 Bruxelles Mr Virginijus Sinkevičius Commissioner for Environment, Oceans and Fisheries European Commission Rue de la Loi 200 B-1049 Bruxelles Brussels, 11 November 2020 Subject: Deforestation and illegal logging of Romania’s primary forests Dear Commissioners, we, the undersigned Members of the European Parliament, are addressing you to express our deep concerns about massive violations of the protection of Natura 2000 areas, primary and ancient forests and UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Romania. In Romania, deforestation caused by illegal logging is continuing on an alarming scale. It threatens the last and irreplaceable primary forests in the EU, which are more crucial than ever in the fight against climate change and for the preservation of biodiversity. According to expert estimates, up to two thirds of the EU’s remaining primary forests are located in Romania. Largely untouched areas in the Romanian Carpathian Mountains and the Făgăraș Mountains have survived until today – a European if not global heritage of invaluable ecological value. Some of these forests are also included in the List of World Heritage Sites UNESCO.1 Now, ruthless greed and large-scale corruption are seriously endangering these European natural treasures and the time for protective measures is running out. If no immediate action is taken, the still existing forests will soon be lost forever. Since the launch of the European Commission’s infringement procedure against Romania on 12 February 2020 for failing to establish effective measures against illegal logging2, thousands more hectares were destroyed.

  • Brussels, 21 January 2020 Dear President of the European
    Brussels, 21 January 2020 Dear President of the European Parliament, David Sassoli, Dear President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, On 26 May 2019, EU citizens elected their 751 representatives in the European Parliament. One of them was Oriol Junqueras, who was elected by over one million votes. Mr Junqueras was then and currently is imprisoned, deprived of his freedom for 810 days, for organising a referendum on self- determination. In the context of criminal proceedings arising from an affair of undeniably political nature, on 19 December 2019 the Court of Justice of the European Union clarified that the status of Mr Junqueras as a Member of the European Parliament arises solely from his election and was acquired by virtue of the official declaration of those results by the competent national authority, a circumstance that occurred on 13 June 2019. The Court also stressed that, once the electoral results are declared, all Members enjoy immunity as provided for under EU law. Despite this situation, the Spanish judicial authorities prevented Mr Junqueras from attending Parliament's inaugural session in Strasbourg on 2 July 2019 and insist in their position when they prevent him from attending January’s session. If his rights had been respected by the Spanish courts, Mr Junqueras should have been free since last June. Respect for the European institutions is what makes the European Union project strong. Thus, by preventing Mr Junqueras from performing his functions as a Member of the European Parliament in representation of his constituents, despite the ruling of the CJEU, the Spanish Supreme Court is attacking upon the fundamental values of the European project.

  • Brussels, 18Th September 2020 UNESCO Intergovernmental
    Brussels, 18th September 2020 UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage Place de Fontenoy 7 75007 Paris FRANCE Subject: Opposition to the classification of Bullfighting as Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding Dear Director-General of UNESCO, Ms. Audrey Azoulay, It came to our attention that an application to consider bullfighting as part of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding was submitted by the International Tauromaquia (Bullfighting) Association on 7 June 2020. In accordance with the provisions of the 2003 Convention, the application will most likely be discussed by the Bureau of the Intergovernmental Committee at its meeting in October this year. We recognize and fully support UNESCO’s vital mission of seeking to build peace through international cooperation in Education, the Sciences and Culture. Nevertheless, just like expressed in UNESCO’s mandate, we also agree that peace must be built upon the intellectual and moral solidarity of humanity. It is our view that intellectual and moral solidary of humanity necessarily encompasses solidarity towards all living beings. Bullfighting is an activity that depicts and glorifies abuse, violence and cruelty towards animals for the sake of the entertainment of a limited number of individuals around the globe. In addition to the brutality experienced by the animals involved, bullfighting also has serious mental repercussions on those of young age that are habituated to witness it and, consequently, not educated with the desirable ideals of peace and kindness towards all living beings. This way, from our perspective, bullfighting has no place in UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding.

  • Brussels, 24 February 2021
    Brussels, 24 February 2021 Declaration from Members of the European Parliament to urge the Commission and Member States not to block the TRIPS waiver at the WTO and to support global access to COVID-19 vaccines We, Members of the European Parliament, urge the European Commission and the European Council to review their opposition to the TRIPS waiver proposal at the World Trade Organisation (WTO), which serves to enable greater access to affordable COVID-19 health technologies, including vaccines, in particular for developing and middle income countries. This call comes in view of the European Council meeting of 25 February 2021 and the crucial decision to be made by all Member States at the WTO General Council on 1-2 March 2021. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the need to ensure global open access to COVID-19 health technologies and to rapidly scale up their manufacturing and supply has been widely acknowledged. However, despite efforts and statements made by the European Commission and several heads of state in support of treating COVID-19 medical products as global public goods, this has not yet translated into actionable realities. In this context, the EU’s open opposition to the TRIPS waiver risks exacerbating a dangerous North-South divide when it comes to affordable access to COVID-19 diagnostics, personal protective equipment, treatments and vaccines. The WTO decision on a potential waiver offers a crucial and much-needed act of effective solidarity, as it is an important step towards increasing local production in partner countries and, ultimately, suppressing this pandemic on a global scale.

    Executive Vice-President Frans Timmermans Commissioner Adina Vălean, European Commission Rue de la Loi / Wetstraat 200 Brussels, 30 June 2021 B - 1049 Brussels Subject: Implementation of the European Green Deal: alternatives to short-haul flights in the European Union Dear Executive Vice-President Timmermans, Dear Commissioner Vălean, In recent months, and in particular in the context of the European Green Deal and the ongoing climate emergency, all over Europe, the problem of short-haul flights was highlighted, particularly, where viable environmentally friendly alternatives exist. Member States are already taking action in this area. France recently legislated to prohibit certain flights, while the Austrian government has worked with Austrian Airlines as part of a bailout package to ensure journeys of less than three hours that have a rail alternative are phased out. Considering that within the EU, a significant amount of short-haul flights are cross-border, that their environmental impact is significant, and that in many instances there are sustainable alternatives, we believe the Commission should take action to inform consumers, and help and motivate them in making more sustainable choices. Specifically, we believe the Commission should take action in the following areas: 1) Passengers need accurate information on the environmental impact of journeys to make informed choices. When will the Commission make it mandatory for customers to be provided with information on the comparative environmental footprint of different transport modes

  • Letter to EU Commissioner on Health and Food Safety on Maternal Healthcare During the COVID19 Pandemic
    Mrs. Stella Kyriakides Commissioner for Health and Food Safety Dear Mrs. Kyriakides, EU Member States are dealing with unprecedented challenges arising from the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and health systems are now focused on social distancing and avoidance of non-urgent, non-COVID-19 related medical care. Unfortunately, the strains on our health systems and the difficulties are not being borne equally by the population - pregnant women in particular - still require competent and compassionate labor, birth and postpartum care. We have been approached by the international NGO “Human Rights in Childbirth” regarding concerns about the negative consequences to labor and birth care as health systems focus on tackling COVID-19. In this time of a health crisis, changes are being made to the provision of pregnancy and birth care which are not based on scientific evidence, WHO guidelines or guidelines of relevant European professional organisations. Those changes are arguably unnecessary and, in many cases, not proportional to the response required to the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, we are informed that: • Maternity services are being de-prioritised with regards to adequate staffing, personal protective equipment for staff and access to needed resources • Community and out of hospital maternity services (including midwifery units and home birth) are being closed down without warning • Women are being forced to submit to unwanted inductions and scheduled caesarean sections with no obstetric indication • Women are being separated from their newborn infants • Women are being denied the right to a companion in labour and birth, as well as visitors All citizens are entitled to the protection of their right to the highest attainable level of health during this crisis.

  • European Parliament, Brussels, 20 June 2019 Mr. Jean-Claude
    European Parliament, Brussels, 20 June 2019 Mr. Jean-Claude Juncker, President Mrs Cecilia Malmström, Commissioner for International Trade European Commission Brussels Mr. President, Madam Commissioner, The press has informed us that the European Commission is considering to conclude the EU-Mercosur Association Agreement in the near future, including a comprehensive free trade agreement. We - recently elected MEPs and MEPs of the outgoing period - consider it our obligation to accompany the negotiations in permanent contact with the negotiators of the Commission. We insist on receiving regular updates during the final phase of the negotiations, in order to provide for an informed debate in the European Parliament and the specialised committees and working groups. We consider this essential for the good functioning of the relations between our institutions. This is particularly important due to the fact that the EU - Mercosur Agreement is politically very sensitive. This has been further complicated by public statements of Brazil’s President Bolsonaro - on climate change, on the future of Amazonia, on workers’ rights, on the rights of indigenous peoples, on freedom of thought and freedom of expression and association. His announcement on turning land reserved for indigenous peoples into land used for industrial farming has provoked the largest protest gathering of indigenous population in Brasilia in the history of the country. In the favelas of Rio and other large cities, extrajudicial killings by police forces occur on a regular basis. Institutions in defence of the rights of minorities are being dismantled. Democratically constituted societies need a vibrant civil society that fights for and defends participation, which Brazil's civil society has done well since 1988.
