  • Power Ranking of Meps in the Agricultural Committee of the European Parliament
    Who has the critical vote? Power ranking of MEPs in the Agricultural Committee of the European Parliament A. Kovacs¹; I. Fertő²; L. Kóczy²; B. Sziklai²; A.A. Nás² 1: Tec de Monterrey, Department of International Business, Mexico, 2: Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Economics, Hungary Corresponding author email: [email protected] Abstract: We analyze the voting power of the members of the agricultural committee of the European Parliament using a spatial Banzhaf power index. Using a novel dataset of roll-call votes in the current EP-term, we identify critical members whose votes are necessary to form winning coalitions. We found that committee members with formal positions, EP group coordinators as well as German, French, Italian and British members are powerful actors. Nevertheless, rapporteurs are not necessarily influential. We also concluded that members with moderate ideological position but from Member States with extreme agricultural importance are the most powerful ones.

    Ref. Ares(2016)626783 - 04/02/2016 European Parliament Brussels, 29 January 2016 Dear First Vice-President Timmermans, High Representative/Vice-President Mogherini, On 27 January, renowned Turkish journalists Can Dündar and Erdem Gül have been informed that they both faced one aggravated life sentence, one ordinary life sentence and 30 years in jail on charges of revealing state secrets. These claims are based on an article Dündar published in Cumhuriyet newspaper, a major Turkish newspaper of which Gül was the Ankara bureau chief. The article claims to show proof that a consignment of weapons from the Turkish government seized at the border in January 2014 was bound for Islamist rebels in Syria. Similar penalties are usually reserved for cases involving violent crimes. As such they have a chilling effect on press freedom and freedom of expression in Turkey. The indictment prepared by Istanbul Deputy Chief Public Prosecutor ¡rfan Fidan accuses Dündar and Gül of "gathering secret state documents for the purposes of political and military espionage," "attempting to topple the government of the Republic of Turkey or attempting to stop either partially or totally the government from fulfilling its duties" and "deliberate support for a terrorist organization without being a member." The two men are accused of being "accomplices" of a so- called Gülenist Terror Organization/Parallel State Structure (FETÖ/PDY). According to the indictment, the purpose of the report published in Cumhuriyet was "to create the perception in Turkey and in the world that Turkey was helping terrorist organizations to associate the government with terrorism." Both the charges and the proposed sentences have serious implications for Turkey's already poor press freedom record.

    EUROPEAN COMMISSION DIRECTORATE-GENERAL ENVIRONMENT The Director-General Brussels, 2 0 HARS 201B ENV.E.l/MN/amj/ Dr Peter Liese Mr Axel Voss Mr Elmar Brok Mr Karl-Heinz Florenz Dr. Markus Pieper Mr Dennis Radtke Dr. Renate Sommer Ms Sabine Verheyen Email: [email protected] 'Í, Honourable Members ofthe European Parliament, Thank you for your letter of 15 November 2017 concerning the application of Directive 2011/92/EU ("EIA Directive") to lifetime extensions (LTEs) of nuclear power plants and nuclear reactors. I would like first of all to apologise for the delay in my reply due to an administrative error in our services. The objective of this Directive is to ensure that before development consent is given, projects likely to have significant effects on the environment by virtue, inter alia, of their nature, size or location are made subject to an assessment with regard to their environmental impacts. Lifetime extensions' fall under Annex II, point 13 (a) of the EIA Directive, which is why they do not automatically require an environmental impact assessment. Such planned activities are, however, subject to a screening process, i.e. the determination of likely significant effects on the environment, either on a case by case basis or according to thresholds or criteria set out in national legislation. Member States have discretion in deciding whether the projects listed in Annex II will be subject to an EIA; however, they have to take into account the relevant criteria of Annex III of the EIA Directive and ensure that such an assessment shall be carried out if the project is likely to have significant effects on the environment.
