  • Invit a Tion
    Dear Sirs, Dear Colleagues, Sluggish mass purchasing power on the one hand, wealthy investors only too ready to take risks on the other: growing inequality was a major cause of the international fi nancial and economic crisis. The crisis in the eurozone and a misguided orientation of fi nancial and economic policy have further widened the gap between rich and poor, stable and fragile economies in Europe. Our aim with the European Dialogue 2015 is to discuss the following issues: Can Europe free itself from this vicious circle? How will the inequality of incomes, wealth, taxation and access to education and training develop? Is European politics a part of the problem or part of the solution? We thank Prof. Paul Krugman, Princeton University and winner of the Nobel Prize for Economics in 2008, for making the keynote speech that opens up the debates. INVITATION In the individual workshops, issues relating to prosperity and growing inequality will be looked at from different perspectives and strategies discussed. Finally, László Andor, EU Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion 2010 –2014, Reiner Hoffmann, Chairman of the German Confederation of Trade Unions, and Maria João Rodrigues, Member of the European Parliament (requested), will focus on the question of whether the European unemployment insurance can be a way to more justice and stability. This year we are organising the European Dialogue in conjunction European Dialogue 2015 with the European Trade Union Institute. Prosperity in Europe* We look forward to seeing you. *only if we stop the growing inequality 16 - 17 April 2015, Brussels, Belgium Thursday, 16 April 2015 Prof.

  • Joint MEP Letter to Germany to Suspend Submarine Export to Turkey
    Her Excellency Mrs. Angela Merkel Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany Bundeskanzleramt Willy-Brandt-Straße 1 10557 Berlin - Germany 9 December 2020 Joint MEP letter to Germany to suspend submarine export to Turkey Dear Chancellor, in the light of ongoing tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean, as Greek and German Members of the European Parliament we call on the German government to immediately suspend the export of German submarines, its components and spare parts as well as all related maintenance activities. Our appeal follows the European Parliament’s resolution of 17 September 2020 on Arms export: implementation of Common Position 2008/944/CFSP (para 17) which: calls on the VP / HR, for as long as Turkey continues with its current illegal, unilateral actions in the Eastern Mediterranean that run counter to the sovereignty of any EU Member State (notably Greece and Cyprus) and international law, and does not engage in dialogue based on international law, to introduce an initiative in the Council for all EU Member States to halt arms export licensing to Turkey in accordance with the Common Position Turkey’s recent explorative activities for natural gas deposits has led to an escalation of a simmering dispute between Turkey and Greece over maritime rights in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. We are extremely concerned about Turkey’s threats of military action against EU Member States in the Eastern Mediterranean and fear that Turkey could employ submarines produced in Germany in this conflict. Therefore, we urge the German government to undertake urgent measures to suspend in relation to Turkey the export of submarines, its components and spare parts - largely produced by German Thyssen Krupp Marine Systems and assembled in Turkey – as well as related maintenance.
