Europejskie Forum Parlamentarne Na Rzecz Praw Seksualnych I Reprodukcyjnych (EPF) Rue Montoyer 23 1000 Bruksela, Belgia Europejskie Forum Parlamentarne na Rzecz Praw Seksualnych i Reprodukcyjnych (EPF) Rue Montoyer 23 1000 Bruksela, Belgia Pan Mateusz Morawiecki, Premier RP Kancelaria Prezesa Rady Ministrów al. J. Ch. Szucha 14 Warszawa, Polska 19 Października 2020 Szanowny Panie Premierze, jako parlamentarzyści reprezentujący różne partie polityczne pragniemy wyrazić nasze głębokie zaniepokojenie sprawą toczącą się obecnie przed “Trybunałem Konstytucyjnym„ na wniosek posłów partii rządzącej, który wzywa Trybunał do wydania orzeczenia praktycznie zakazującego aborcji, nawet w poważnych przypadkach anomalii płodu. Wydanie orzeczenia spodziewane jest dnia 22 października 2020 r. [1]. Kobiety rozważające aborcję z powodu anomalii ich płodu, już teraz często stają w obliczu bardzo druzgocących decyzji. Jesteśmy przekonani, że każdy przypadek należy rozpatrywać indywidualnie - wiek ciążowy, osobiste uwarunkowania kobiety i jej rodziny, a także odpowiednie zalecenia lekarskie. Zakaz aborcji w przypadkach, gdy płód może nie być zdolny do życia, jest rozwiązaniem okrutnym, który pozbawia kobiety i ich rodziny godności, zmuszając je do stosowania odgórnie określonego, narzuconego, sposobu leczenia - mianowicie przymusowej ciąży i paliatywnego leczenie noworodka. Takie postępowanie może być sprzeczne z głęboko zakorzenionymi przekonaniami moralnymi, filozoficznymi czy religijnymi blisko tysiąca Polek, które każdego roku muszą dokonywać tego ciężkiego wyboru. [2] Ponadto, zakaz ten byłby sprzeczny z prawidłową praktyką medyczną i międzynarodowymi standardami praw człowieka określonymi w zaleceniach Światowej Organizacji Zdrowia [3] i Rady Europy [4]. Jednocześnie Polacy, a konkretnie Polki, wychodząc na ulice podczas „Czarnych Marszów” w 2016 i 2018 roku w bezprecedensowej liczbie, zdecydowanie wyraziły swoją opinię w tej sprawie, wysyłając jednoznaczny sygnał do polskich decydentów, że dalsze ograniczanie i tak już drakońskiego prawa aborcyjnego w Polsce nie ma poparcia. Na koniec „Trybunał Konstytucyjny”, który ma wydać wyrok w dniu 22 października 2020 r., sam jest instytucją kontrowersyjną, będącą przedmiotem unijnych dochodzeń w zakresie praworządności na podstawie art. 7 traktatów UE [5]. Sytuacja, w której taki kwestionowany organ ma wydać orzeczenie, które pozbawi praw człowieka części polskiego społeczeństwa, tylko pogłębia obawy, że polskie sądownictwo jest nie tylko wadliwe technicznie, ale przede wszystkim proaktywnie wykorzystywane do podważania praw podstawowych przez część polskiej elity politycznej. W związku z tym, wzywamy polski Rząd do podjęcia niezbędnych kroków, w celu zapewnienia poszanowania podstawowych praw wszystkich Polek i prawa do podejmowania autonomicznej decyzji dotyczących własnego zdrowia, zgodnie z ich własnymi przekonaniami moralnymi, filozoficznymi lub religijnymi.

English version European Parliamentary Forum for Sexual & Reproductive Rights (EPF) Rue Montoyer 23 1000 Brussels Belgium Mr Mateusz Morawiecki, Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland Chancellery of the Prime Minister al. J. Ch. Szucha 14 Warsaw, Poland 19 October 2020 Dear Mr Mateusz Morawiecki, Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland As Members of Parliaments from across the political spectrum, we wish to express our deep concern about the case currently pending before the, ‘Constitutional Tribunal’ with a ruling expected on 22 October 2020 resulting from a ruling party parliamentary initiative requesting the Tribunal to rule in favour of banning abortion in cases of severe foetal anomaly [1]. Women considering abortion for the anomaly of their foetus already often face an agonising situation. Each situation is unique taking into consideration the specific foetal anomaly, the gestational age, the personal circumstances of the woman and her family as well as the medical advice from her physicians. Banning the possibility to abort in cases when the foetus may not be viable is a cruel measure which deprives women and their families of their dignity by forcing them to follow a specific course of treatment not of their choosing, namely forced pregnancy for the woman and palliative care for the new-born. Such a course of treatment may go against the deeply held moral, philosophical or religious beliefs

These factors are: ✓ Political: local, regional, national or international factors that may affect the construction industry in the future. ✓ Economic: current or future economic issues that may affect the strategy to be created. ✓ Social: socio-cultural elements that may have an effect in the construction industry. It is recommended to pay attention to current social trends in order to know how they are changing. ✓ Technological: these are essential factors, since technological changes are currently happening very quickly. Whatever technological factor developed today will doubtless affect the future of the construction industry. ✓ Legal: these factors deal with the obligations to comply with the national/European legislation. Changes in the legislation will lead to changes in the markets and industry.

  • Transition to Zero-Emission Light-Duty Vehicles
    To: Mr. Frans Timmermans Executive Vice-President for the European Green Deal Ms. Adina Vălean Commissioner for Transport Transition to zero-emission light-duty vehicles Dear Executive Vice-President Timmermans, dear Commissioner Vălean, The transport sector accounts for around one quarter of the EU’s total greenhouse gas emissions, and emissions are increasing over time. In order for us to deliver on our short and long-term climate ambitions and ensure a shift towards a sustainable transport sector, we must speed up the transition of road transport by committing to zero-emission mobility and give clear signals to manufacturers, fleet owners and consumers. Towards this purpose, we – the signing Member States AT, BE, DK, EL, IE, LT, LU, MT and NL – count on an ambitious and cost-effective enabling framework with coherent policies and regulation needed to support an accelerated and balanced shift towards zero-emission vehicles as well as predictability for the industry. Please find enclosed a joint non-paper outlining our common position on four essential priorities to achieving the transition to zero-emission light-duty vehicles. We wish you all the best with your work on the “Fit for 55” package. Yours sincerely, Leonore Gewessler Federal Minister for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology of Austria Zakia Khattabi Minister of Climate, Environment, Sustainable Development and Green Deal of Belgium Tinne Van der Straeten Minister of Energy of Belgium Georges Gilkinet Minister of Mobility of Belgium Dan Jørgensen Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities of Denmark Benny Engelbrecht Minister for Transport of Denmark Lea Wermelin Minister for Environment of Denmark Kostas Skrekas Minister of Environment and Energy of Greece Konstantinos A.
