In the United Kingdom, the election for the country’s 73 Members of the European Parliament will be held on Thursday 22 May 2014. The elections come at a crucial junction for UK-EU relations, and are likely to have far-reaching consequences for the UK’s relationship with the rest of Europe: a surge in support for the UK Independence Party (UKIP) could lead to a Britain that is increasingly dis-engaged from the EU policy-making process. In parallel, the current UK Government is also conducting a review of the EU’s powers and Prime Minister David Cameron has repeatedly pushed for a ‘repatriation’ of powers from the European to the national level. These long-term political developments aside, the elections will also have more direct and tangible consequences.

Question for written answer P-006993/2017 to the Commission Rule 130 Jiří Payne (EFDD) Subject: Brexit negotiations Article 50 (2) of the Treaty on European Union (as amended by the Lisbon Treaty) demands in its second sentence that the agreement setting out the arrangements for a withdrawal of a Member State from the EU must take account of the framework for its future relationship with the Union. I kindly ask the Commission to clarify how it can take account of the framework for the future relationship between the UK and the European Union if, according to the priorities set out for the negotiation, the future relationship with the Union shall be negotiated as the last item of the whole process. Is the framework being negotiated behind closed doors and the public is not informed? Or is it not being negotiated at all, and therefore the Treaty on European Union is being violated? We need to know the answer urgently because businesses on both sides of the Channel need to know immediately what framework for business relations they can count on in the future. Hesitation in answering this question will harm economic interests of all involved parties. Supporters1 1 This question is supported by Members other than the author: Mike Hookem (EFDD), Margot Parker (EFDD), John Stuart Agnew (EFDD), Robert Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz (EFDD), Nigel Farage (EFDD), Gerard Batten (EFDD), James Carver (EFDD), Jonathan Bullock (EFDD), William (The Earl of) Dartmouth (EFDD), Peter Lundgren (EFDD), Kristina Winberg (EFDD), David Coburn (EFDD), Nathan Gill (EFDD), Mireille D’Ornano (EFDD), Florian Philippot (EFDD), Sophie Montel (EFDD).

Euroscepticism and the Syrian Refugee Crisis
The Enemy Within or the Enemy Without: Euroscepticism and the Syrian Refugee Crisis Daniel T. Dye American University, School of International Service Paper prepared for the 2016 Political Studies Association Annual International Conference Brighton, England – 21-23 March Abstract How has the Syrian refugee crisis in Europe affected the rhetoric of Eurosceptic parties in the European Union? The crisis and the Union’s response touch upon many of the key objects of the debate about European integration—sovereignty, identity, the need for regional coordination. But they do so in a way that does not sit easily with the assumptions of nationalist Euroscepticism. Moreover, the crisis has heightened public salience of humanitarian concerns to a degree that makes the nativist discourse of some Eurosceptic parties more difficult to sustain politically. In essence, the crisis and the inter-state divisions it has engendered pose opportunities and risks for Eurosceptics. How they manage that tension will shape the direction of European policy on the issue. This paper analyzes this dynamic by using European Parliament addresses and other public rhetoric from UKIP and the Front National to compare arguments about migration, border control, and asylum before and after the recent crisis. It considers these changes within both the policy and political context of the parties involved. Finally, it advances the theoretical literature on Euroscepticism by reevaluating the hard/soft and nationalist/populist typologies. The European political space, and the transnational debates that take place within it, have been radically upset twice in the past decade. First, the regional response to the global financial crisis introduced “austerity” as a new touchstone for political rhetoric.

EU ELECTIONS Factsheet: Meps That Voted for NATURE in the COMMON FISHERIES POLICY
EU ELECTIONS Factsheet: MEPs that voted FOR NATURE in the COMMON FISHERIES POLICY TECHNICAL CONSERVATION MEASURES (TCM) REGULATION INFO In 2016, the European Commission made a proposal to establish new fishing rules in europe. These rules range from the mesh size of the net to to limit fishers from catching baby fish, to temporal closures to limit the impact of fishing on marine ecosystems (such as when seabirds are bycaught). On 16th January 2018, the European parliament voted on this file. Below we provide voting information on 4 key amendments that provide indication whether Members of the European voted for strengthening of the protection of marine ecosystems or on the contrary. BirdLife reaction: https://www.birdlife.org/europe-and-central-asia/pr/16-January-2017 VOTE results: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/seance_pleniere/proces_verbal/2018/01- 16/liste_presence/P8_PV(2018)01-16(RCV)_XC.pdf 1. Vote on AM 83 (Approved 358 in favour, 314 against, 5 abstained) This amendment changed the definition of driftnets to allow for semi-driftneting (when there is an anchor attached to the bottom of the net). Semi-driftnets are a major problem for the marine environment and by changing this definition, it doesn’t ban them from being used in particular in the Baltic and Mediterranean. Many marine species are bycaught in driftnets, including semi-driftnets. MEPs who voted in favour (+) of this amendment voted for the dilution of the definition and hence supported for increased number of marine species to drown in fishing gear (driftnets). 2. Vote on AM 295 (Not approved 175 in favour, 454 against, 43 abstained) This amendment set a quantifiable target that within 5 years, the bycatch of juvenile fish would be reduced by 50%.
