Article 30-01-2017 - 11:23 Reference No: 20170127STO60006 Article 30-01-2017 - 11:23 Reference No: 20170127STO60006 European Parliamentary Week 2017: how to fight unemployment and ensure recovery benefits all Although investment has picked up and the economy has created new jobs, not everybody is yet sharing equally in the benefits of growth. During the annual European Parliamentary Week in Brussels from 30 January to 1 February, MEPs meet their counterparts from the member states and other high-level policy makers to debate how to boost growth and employment and increase fairness. The conference kicks off on Monday with a debate about this year's economic policy priorities - structural reforms, investment, responsible fiscal policies - and continues with an exchange of views on how to make European economic and monetary union stronger and more efficient. Participants include among others Parliament President Antonio Tajani, economic affairs committee chair Roberto Gualtieri (S&D, Italy), budget committee chair Jean Arthuis, (ALDE, France) and commissioners Valdis Dombrovskis and Pierre Moscovici. Fair taxation, social rights and the EU budget On Tuesday MEPs and their colleagues from national parliaments focus on measures to combat tax fraud and tax evasion in the light of the Panama papers leaks. Check out our top story and read the interview with Nobel Prize winner Joseph Stiglitz on why Europe should take the lead on this issue. Parliamentarians are also to discuss social rights. MEP Maria João Rodrigues, who wrote a report on the EU's social pillar, said in our interview, the EU should not be just a project of economic integration; if it wants to meet future challenges, it needs to strengthen its social cohesion. A debate on financing the EU budget also takes place on Tuesday. MEPs want to go back to a system of own resources instead of having to rely mainly on contributions from member states. Read our interview with Alain Lamassoure who represented Parliament in a high-level group on the EU’s own resources. European Semester Monday's conference takes place in the context of the European Semester, which is the EU coordination of member states's economic policies. It starts every year with the Commission Directorate General for Communication 1 I 5 European Parliament - Spokesperson: Jaume Duch Guillot EN Contact: [email protected] Article publishing its annual growth survey. This is a growth forecast setting up a framework, which EU countries can use to evaluate their budgetary plans. While strong growth means more revenue, weak growth leads to less revenue. The document also identifies countries that could find themselves in financial difficulties and spells out general priorities and country-specific recommendations. Once these recommendations have been adopted at the EU level, member states have to include them in their national budgets. However, the recommendations can have far-reaching implications for the countries involves as they can affect taxes, the labour market, unemployment benefits and pensions.

  • FRANCE: a HOTBED of OPPOSITION to the TTIP? Elvire Fabry | Senior Research Fellow at the Jacques Delors Institute
    POLICY PAPER 136 10 JUNE 2015 FRANCE: A HOTBED OF OPPOSITION TO THE TTIP? Elvire Fabry | senior research fellow at the Jacques Delors Institute SUMMARY Two years after the start of negotiations for the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) in July 2013, the evolution of French public opinion is intriguing. THE EVOLUTION OF FRENCH PUBLIC OPINION It was expected that opposition to TTIP would come primarily from France, IS INTRIGUING” where public opinion is traditionally wary of trade liberalisation. But in November 2014, when 59% of Europeans and 25 of 28 member states said they were in favour of TTIP, 50% of French held a favourable opinion while the Germans had become the leading opponents of TTIP. The shift in German public opinion in spring 2014 had not been anticipated, considering that the German econ- omy has turned towards exports and that the German government itself was active in supporting the launch of negotiations. Public debate over TTIP has only truly manifested in France during the European election campaigns of May 2014, when the minor parties opposed to negotiations put the spotlight on the sanitary, phytosanitary, and environmental issues of the negotiations. The two major political groups adopted a more cautious and even evasive approach, waiting until autumn 2014 to clearly state their positions. In summer 2014, meanwhile, the inclusion of a mechanism to resolve disputes between investor and state has imposed itself as a source of more mobilising fears and has united a cross-partisan opposition which has con- tributed to growing doubts over the benefits of the agreement.

At the same time, the order of 23 October 2008, gives a new dimension to contractual UCITS other than FCPRs. These UCITS can invest in all types of “products”, therefore including debt securities, while contractual FCPRs were not authorized to do so or, as debt securities are concerned, such possibility will be strictly limited. As a result, will the contractual FCPR be obsolete when it has just been formed?

  • The Government and Politics of France: Fifth Edition
    The Government and Politics of France This fifth edition of The Government and Politics of France offers a fully revised, updated and comprehensive view of the contemporary French political scene based on the work of the leading specialist on France of his generation. It covers such events as the dramatic presidential election of 2002 and includes a major new chapter on France and European integration, culminating in the historic rejection of the European consti- tutional treaty by French voters in May 2005. Although particular attention is paid to the most recent period, the book covers the whole of the Fifth Republic in depth, from its heroic beginnings under de Gaulle to the period of reverses and defeats sustained by successive governments under the Mitter- rand and Chirac presidencies. The contemporary period is placed firmly in the context of those long-standing political traditions which have maintained their power to shape French political behaviour to this day. The long view supplied in this book allows a unique understanding of how the dynamic, confident economic and political power of the early de Gaulle years has become the more hesitant and troubled nation of the early twenty-first century – and of the points of continuity that underlie this development. The Government and Politics of France is the authoritative guide to French politics and is essential for undergraduates and postgraduates with interests in French politics, European studies and political science. Andrew Knapp is Professor of French Politics and Contemporary History at the Uni- versity of Reading. He is author of Parties and the Party System in France (2004), Le Gaullisme après de Gaulle (1996), and, with Yves Mény, Government and Politics in Western Europe (third edition, 1998).
