  • European Parliament: 7Th February 2017 Redistribution of Political Balance
    POLICY PAPER European issues n°420 European Parliament: 7th February 2017 redistribution of political balance Charles de Marcilly François Frigot At the mid-term of the 8th legislature, the European Parliament, in office since the elections of May 2014, is implementing a traditional “distribution” of posts of responsibility. Article 19 of the internal regulation stipulates that the Chairs of the parliamentary committees, the Deputy-Chairs, as well as the questeurs, hold their mandates for a renewable 2 and a-half year period. Moreover, internal elections within the political groups have supported their Chairs, whilst we note that there has been some slight rebalancing in terms of the coordinators’ posts. Although Italian citizens draw specific attention with the two main candidates in the battle for the top post, we should note other appointments if we are to understand the careful balance between nationalities, political groups and individual experience of the European members of Parliament. A TUMULTUOUS PRESIDENTIAL provide collective impetus to potential hesitations on the part of the Member States. In spite of the victory of the European People’s Party (EPP) in the European elections, it supported Martin As a result the election of the new President of Schulz in July 2104 who stood for a second mandate as Parliament was a lively[1] affair: the EPP candidate – President of the Parliament. In all, with the support of the Antonio Tajani – and S&D Gianni Pittella were running Liberals (ADLE), Martin Schulz won 409 votes following neck and neck in the fourth round of the relative an agreement concluded by the “grand coalition” after majority of the votes cast[2].

  • TTIP-Letter-To-Schul
    Mr. Martin Schulz, President of the European Parliament European Parliament Bât. Paul-Henri Spaak, 09B011 60, rue Wiertz B-1047 Bruxelles 7 July 2016 Dear Mr. Schulz, In anticipation of the 14th round of negotiations between the EU and US for the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) planned to start on 11 July in Brussels, we are writing to you on behalf of over 65 organisations representing consumers, farmers, not-for-profit health insurers, environmental and general public interest groups to express our serious concerns that the European Commission is failing to respect the European Parliament’s 2015 Resolution on TTIP. 1 Today, we released new analysis, which demonstrates that the European Commission continues to ignore critical aspects of the European Parliament’s Resolution on TTIP, in particular regarding recommendations related to protecting public health, the environment, and democracy. 1. Negotiating on and affecting EU chemicals and pesticides rules The European Parliament has called on the European Commission not to negotiate on issues “where the EU and the US have very different rules” and not to allow regulatory cooperation to affect future standards in such areas. However, the European Commission has continued to negotiate on issues that will affect legislation on chemicals, pesticides, and cosmetic products, whether directly or through regulatory cooperation. This is particularly worrying because the European Commission is already lowering current EU standards of protection (such as on limits to pesticide residues in food) in order to remove barriers to trade. 2. Respect for the EU regulatory system The European Parliament has called on the European Commission “to fully respect the established regulatory systems on both sides of the Atlantic”.

  • Brussels, March 4 , 2015 SUBJECT: the Case of Raif Badawi and Other Prisoners of Conscience in Saudi Arabia Madam High Repre
    Brussels, March 4th, 2015 SUBJECT: The case of Raif Badawi and other prisoners of conscience in Saudi Arabia Madam High Representative, We are again writing to you regarding the case of Raif Badawi, Saudi prisoner of conscience, currently held in detention by the Saudi authorities, after having been convicted by the Criminal Court of Jeddah. We remain deeply concerned about the possible developments in his case. We have been informed by multiple sources that Mr. Badawi may be subjected again in the near future to a new trial, this time for apostasy, and that he faces, if found guilty by the Criminal Court, the risk of being convicted to the death penalty. We, therefore, urge you to employ all your best efforts to call on the authorities of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the release of Raif Badawi, his lawyer Walled Abulkhair who is also imprisoned and of all other prisoners of conscience. Raif Badawi’s alleged crime was to use his freedom of expression, which is an international human right that Saudi Arabia is bound to respect. We understand that Saudi Arabia is deemed an important partner to the European Union, both individually and in the context of EU’s relationship with the Gulf Cooperation Council. Nevertheless, we strongly believe that engagement with third countries must be based on the upholding of international law, namely, international human rights law, and Saudi Arabia is no exception to that. The moment has come, especially now with a new Saudi leadership, for the EU to send a clear message to the Saudi authorities demanding that it respects, protects and fulfills international human rights, releases all prisoners of conscience and revokes all institutionalized practices that actively infringe fundamental freedoms in the Kingdom.

  • AI Risk and Alignment Student Seminar
    How Artificial Intelligence Is Dividing Us Today, and How Terminator Might Kill Us Tomorrow Hurford Center for the Arts and Humanities, Student Seminar Proposal Keeton Martin and Harry Taussig Faculty Advisor: Sorelle Freidler 17 March 2021 "The way to think about it is as 2.5 billion Truman Shows. Each person has their own reality with their own facts. Over time you have the false sense that everyone agrees with you because everyone in your news feed sounds just like you. Once you're in that state, it turns out you're easily manipulated.” - Roger McNamee “How do you ethically steer the thoughts and actions of two billion people’s minds every day?” - Tristan Harris Introduction The dangers of developing advanced artificial intelligence are already upon us. Worldwide we are suffering from increased polarization, disinformation, information overload, and poor mental health exacerbated by the influence of AI. Furthermore, because algorithms are often trained on biased data, or written by biased people, the negative effects of AI are already disproportionately harming underprivileged groups. Although right now artificial intelligence can only slightly manipulate human behavior, it does so to large populations all at once through our smartphones and computers, causing huge impact. This impact will only continue to grow and some prominent scientists put the development of increasingly intelligent AI as the largest risk to the survival of future human generations. We originally planned to split the seminar into two sections, where the first section would explore the current problems and risks already created by AI. Our current understanding is that societal problems caused by AI are already serious and complex, centering around the impact of individually cultivated streams of media and biased data.

  • Nigar Göksel: Five Years Ago, Empowering Democrats Can Mean
    On 24 March 2011, Turkish Policy Quarterly held a roundtable discussion in the European Parliament building in Brussels titled ‘Developments in Turkey’s Democracy and Regional Ambitions’. The roundtable discussion was organized jointly with the office of Marietje Schaake, with support from the Black Sea Trust for Regional Cooperation. The event took place at an interesting juncture. The roundtable was held a few days after a critical European Parliament report on Turkey, in the midst of ongoing outcry about the arrest of journalists on allegations of being part of a terrorist organization, and during a month that otherwise was characterized by upbeat debate about Turkey’s strategic value for the West in the wake of the Arab Spring and the potential for Turkey to be a model for Muslim nations of the Middle East and North Africa seeking a better future. Discussions, featuring Columnist of Milliyet daily Kadri Gürsel, Senior Transatlantic Fellow for GMF Ian Lesser, and Member of the European Parliament representing the Democrats 66 (ALDE), Marietje Schaake and Editor in Chief of Turkish Policy Quarterly, Nigar Göksel, focused on these themes and the interplay between them. Nigar Göksel, Editor in Chief of Turkish Policy Quarterly Five years ago, empowering democrats meant something different from what it does today. Five years ago, there was a so-called judicial coup against the government. There was the issue of weeding the military out of civilian affairs on agenda. The support of the EU was needed for such challenges. Whereastoday, democrats in Turkey are trying to protect media independence and judicial independence from government interference in many cases and we face the challenge of trying to get the progressive laws that have been passed actuallyimplemented ,and initiatives put into action.

    Hosted by the Office of Ms. Marietje Schaake, MEP Chairperson of the Parliamentarians for Global Action (PGA) Group in the European Parliament Roundtable at the European Parliament on the International Criminal Court and the European Union European Parliament, Alterio Spinelli Building – Brussels, Belgium Wednesday, 1st of June, 2011, 12.00 - 14.00 REPORT OF THE DISCUSSIONS Background and Objective Background Committed to preventing crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide, as well as to put an end to impunity for the perpetrators of such crimes, the EU provides unwavering support to the International Criminal Court (ICC) and other international criminal tribunals. At an international level, the EU frequently includes a binding clause in agreements with third countries, requiring them to cooperate with the ICC and, when the other Party agrees, to ratify the Rome Statute of the ICC. All EU countries are States Parties to the Rome Statute, and the EU has been a consistent political, technical and financial supporter of the ICC’s work. EU member countries are the biggest financial contributors to the ICC budget – along with Japan – and the EU itself funds projects supporting the ICC and international criminal justice through its European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR)). The EU support for the ICC is underpinned by an EU Common Position on the ICC, which established an agreed policy on supporting the Court in June 2003. The Common position is accompanied by the EU action plan on the ICC and was recently renewed in March 2011 by an EU Decision. The related renewal of the EU action plan on the ICC is ongoing and scheduled to be concluded under the Hungarian Presidency of the Council in June/July 2011.
