  • Frans Timmermans, Vice-President of the European Commission Mariya
    HORIZON2020 Programme Contract No. 733032 HBM4EU Frans Timmermans, Vice-President of the European Commission Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth Virginijus Sinkevičius, Commissioner for the Environment, Oceans and Fisheries Stella Kyriakidis, Commissioner for Health and Food safety Thierry Breton, Commissioner for the Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs Nicolas Schmit, Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights European Commission B-1049 Brussels Paris 21/08/2020 Open Letter: Human Biomonitoring as a tool to support Europe’s Chemical Strategy for Sustainability Dear Vice-President Timmermans, Commissioner Gabriel, Commissioner Sinkevičius, Commissioner Kyriakides, Commissioner Breton and Commissioner Schmit, We write on behalf of HBM4EU to express our strong support for the forthcoming Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability and the zero pollution agenda in the frame of the European Green Deal. HBM4EU is a European-scale human biomonitoring initiative under Horizon 2020 that includes 30 countries and the European Environment Agency. HBM4EU supports chemical policies by building knowledge on the exposure of the European population to chemicals and subsequent impacts on health. Zero pollution applies as much to people as to the environment. The bodies of European citizens are contaminated by hundreds of chemicals. To attain zero pollution, Europe needs human biomonitoring to measure chemicals in the bodies of European citizens and to assess the associated health impacts. Europe needs a human biomonitoring surveillance system grounded in European Union legislation. Populations in countries such as the USA, Canada and Korea already benefit from national human biomonitoring systems, a cornerstone of risk assessment and sustainable chemical management. Several Member States also have systems in place, including France, Germany, Belgium, Sweden and Czech Republic.

    Plenair verslag Tweede Kamer, 94e vergadering Woensdag 19 augustus 2020 • Aanvang 13:00 uur • Sluiting 17:04 uur • Status Ongecorrigeerd Regeling van werkzaamheden Regeling van werkzaamheden Regeling van werkzaamheden De voorzitter: Ik heb van meer dan 30 leden het verzoek gekregen om met een regeling van werkzaamheden te beginnen. Dat verzoek is gedaan door de heer Klaver. Ik geef hem het woord. Daarna schorsen we even voor een mogelijk debat. Het woord is aan de heer Klaver. De heer Klaver (GroenLinks): Voorzitter. Ik wil graag een debat aanvragen, mede namens de collega's van de PVV, van de Partij van de Arbeid, van de SP, van de Partij voor de Dieren, van DENK, Van Kooten-Arissen, de heer Krol. Ik moest even nadenken over hoe het nou zit met de namen van de groepen, voorzitter. Ik wil een kort debat, met een spreektijd van twee minuten, voorafgaand aan de stemmingen van straks. Het zal niemand zijn ontgaan dat we vorige week niet hebben gestemd over moties over het verhogen van de salarissen in de zorg. Ik wil heel graag dat we hier in de Kamer de kans hebben om nog een keer alle argumenten naar voren te brengen waarom het zo belangrijk is dat we de salarissen in de zorg structureel verhogen. Ik hoop dat we daar de coalitie van weten te overtuigen zodat de moties een meerderheid kunnen halen. De heer Dijkhoff (VVD): Dat kunnen we steunen. De heer Pieter Heerma (CDA): Steun voor het verzoek. De voorzitter: Wacht u even, want eerst moet de microfoon worden schoongemaakt, meneer Van der Staaij.

  • A Look at the New European Parliament Page 1 INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMITTEE (INTA)
    THE NEW EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT KEY COMMITTEE COMPOSITION 31 JULY 2019 INTRODUCTION After several marathon sessions, the European Council agreed on the line-up for the EU “top jobs” on 2 July 2019. The deal, which notably saw German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen (CDU, EPP) surprisingly designated as the next European Commission (EC) President, meant that the European Parliament (EP) could proceed with the election of its own leadership on 3 July. The EPP and Renew Europe (formerly ALDE) groups, in line with the agreement, did not present candidates for the EP President. As such, the vote pitted the S&D’s David-Maria Sassoli (IT) against two former Spitzenkandidaten – Ska Keller (DE) of the Greens and Jan Zahradil (CZ) of the ACRE/ECR, alongside placeholder candidate Sira Rego (ES) of GUE. Sassoli was elected President for the first half of the 2019 – 2024 mandate, while the EPP (presumably EPP Spitzenkandidat Manfred Weber) would take the reins from January 2022. The vote was largely seen as a formality and a demonstration of the three largest Groups’ capacity to govern. However, Zahradil received almost 100 votes (more than the total votes of the ECR group), and Keller received almost twice as many votes as there are Greens/EFA MEPs. This forced a second round in which Sassoli was narrowly elected with just 11 more than the necessary simple majority. Close to 12% of MEPs did not cast a ballot. MEPs also elected 14 Vice-Presidents (VPs): Mairead McGuinness (EPP, IE), Pedro Silva Pereira (S&D, PT), Rainer Wieland (EPP, DE), Katarina Barley (S&D, DE), Othmar Karas (EPP, AT), Ewa Kopacz (EPP, PL), Klara Dobrev (S&D, HU), Dita Charanzová (RE, CZ), Nicola Beer (RE, DE), Lívia Járóka (EPP, HU) and Heidi Hautala (Greens/EFA, FI) were elected in the first ballot, while Marcel Kolaja (Greens/EFA, CZ), Dimitrios Papadimoulis (GUE/NGL, EL) and Fabio Massimo Castaldo (NI, IT) needed the second round.
