The number of such bodies may vary from one parliamentary term to another. Parliament’s interparliamentary delegations1 maintain and develop Parliament’s international contacts and contribute to enhancing the role and visibility of the European Union in the world. Accordingly, delegation activities have two aims, firstly to maintain and enhance contacts with parliaments of States that are traditionally partners of the European Union and secondly, to help promote in third countries the values on which the European Union is founded, namely the principles of liberty, democracy, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, and the rule of law (Articles 2 and 3(5) of the Treaty on European Union). Parliament’s international contacts are based on the principles of international public law and aim to foster, wherever possible and appropriate, the parliamentary dimension of international relations. 1 Implementing Provisions Governing the Work of Delegations And Missions Outside the European Union – Conference Of Presidents Decision of 29 October 2015 (Amending the decision of 10 April 2014, and incorporating updated references from December 2014 to ensure alignment with the Rules of Procedure and other relevant provisions and from September 2015 to Annex I to update the denominations of some interparliamentary delegations). 5 The standing interparliamentary delegations contribute to the work of parliamentary committees and other Parliament bodies where this concerns their particular geographic areas of responsibility, and provide input for debates within Parliament, particularly as regards: • the state of bilateral interparliamentary relations; • human rights, the protection of minorities and the promotion of democratic values, in the general context of EU policy in this area and in accordance with the positions adopted by Parliament; • the state of bilateral political, economic, financial and social relations; • the assessment of international agreements concluded between the European Union and third countries; • the external aspects of Union policies on the internal market; • a democratic scrutiny of the implementation of the European Union’s external funding instruments, including an assessment of the effectiveness, by virtue of their impact on the ground, of Union projects funded from the EU budget; • the implementation of recommendations made in the course of election observation missions, in close cooperation with the parliamentary committees responsible. The standing interparliamentary delegations also make their expertise available to election observation missions. The main objective of the interparliamentary delegations is, therefore, to establish, channel and promote parliamentary dialogue with the partner countries’ legislative institutions and also with the legislative institutions concerned with integration 6 at regional or sub-regional level. They achieve these aims through regular meetings held at the places of work of the European Parliament2 and the counterpart parliaments. Discussions at these meetings centre on issues of common interest at national, bi-regional or international level and are the very essence of parliamentary diplomacy. The work of delegations contributes to the implementation of Parliament’s political and legislative priorities by reflecting the positions both of Parliament, as adopted in plenary, and of the relevant committees which, in carrying out their work, should take due account of the contribution and external expertise of the delegations. Delegations for relations with Latin America The EU’s political priorities for Latin America were outlined by the Commission in its Communication entitled ‘A stronger partnership between the European Union and Latin America’ (2005) and explained in greater detail in its 2009 Communication on ‘European Union and Latin America: Global Players in Partnership’ and in the April 2019 Joint Communication to the European Parliament and the Council entitled ‘European Union, Latin America and the Caribbean: joining forces for a common future’. On 17 April 2019, Parliament adopted a resolution on the number of interparliamentary delegations, delegations to joint interparliamentary committees and delegations to parliamentary cooperation committees and multilateral parliamentary assemblies, which listed the delegations active in the current parliamentary term. On 17 July 2019, the European 2 Brussels, Strasbourg and Luxembourg. 7 Parliament adopted a resolution on the numerical strength of the interparliamentary delegations, setting the number of MEPs for each delegation. Of the 44 standing delegations active during the 2019-2024 parliamentary term, six will be responsible for bilateral and sub- regional relations with Latin America: • Delegation to the EU-Mexico Joint Parliamentary Committee3 • Delegation to the EU-Chile Joint Parliamentary Committee3 • Delegation for relations with the countries of Central America • Delegation for relations with Mercosur • Delegation for relations with the countries of the Andean Community • Delegation for relations with the Federative Republic of Brazil. Furthermore, the 75 members of the European Parliament’s Delegation to the Euro-Latin American Parliamentary Assembly (EuroLat) should come from these six delegations. The information compiled is made available to MEPs by means of regular reports or reports drawn up by the chair of each delegation after each visit or interparliamentary meeting4. The reports are usually submitted to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, the Subcommittee on Human Rights, the Committee on Development and the Committee on International Trade, as 3 The association agreements between the EU and Mexico and Chile provided for the establishment of fully-fledged joint parliamentary committees with these countries, with legal personality. 4 As a general rule, interparliamentary meetings are held alternately in one of Parliament’s places of work (Brussels, Strasbourg or Luxembourg) and in the third country or countries concerned. 8 well as to other committees when directly relevant to them. They sometimes give rise to European Parliament resolutions. The European Union and Latin America are linked in a Bi- regional Strategic Partnership established at the bi-regional summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1999. The parliamentary dimension of the Bi-regional Strategic Partnership is embodied in EuroLat, where Members of the European Parliament delegation and members of the national and regional parliaments who make up the Latin American delegation are able to engage in a frank dialogue on the challenges facing both societies. Delegation for relations with the Federative Republic of Brazil (D-BR) The Delegation for relations with the Federative Republic of Brazil (D-BR) was established by a European Parliament decision of 12 March 2014. Prior to this, relations with Brazil had been the responsibility of the Delegation for relations with Mercosur (DMER). D-BR held its constitutive meeting on 13 October 2014. During the eighth parliamentary term (2014-2019) D-BR was chaired by Paulo Rangel (PPE, Portugal) until 9 February 2017, and then Fernando Ruas (PPE, Portugal). MEPs António Marinho e Pinto (ALDE, Portugal) and Carlos Zorrinho (S&D, Portugal) were the First and Second Vice-Chairs, respectively. The origins of D-BR extend back to the conclusion of the EU- Brazil Strategic Partnership in 2007. In 2008, the National Congress of Brazil set up a Parliamentary Friendship Group with the European Parliament. This is an effective and flexible means of achieving the common goals of a bilateral relationship and driving forward cooperation agendas that are geared to 9 strengthening reciprocal relationships and exploring new fields of common interest. It has played a key role in tightening the bonds between the two parliaments and monitoring the Joint Action Plan implemented under the EU-Brazil Strategic Partnership. D-BR holds meetings at regular intervals in Brussels and Strasbourg at which matters relating to Brazil’s political, economic and social situation are discussed. The meetings focus on matters of mutual or regional interest, such as the negotiations between the EU and Mercosur on the signing of an association agreement. Sometimes meetings are held to examine a specific topical issue, with guests from Brazil’s political, diplomatic, trade union and civil society circles

  • Brussels, 27 March 2017 Dear Mr. Dijsselbloem, Earlier This Week We
    Brussels, 27 March 2017 Dear Mr. Dijsselbloem, Earlier this week we have known the statements you have made to a communication media, which we consider unequivocally discriminatory and offensive against several EU countries as well as offensive and sexist towards women. Shortly after the publication of your statements, you had the opportunity to rectify at the European Parliament, but you avoided doing so. On the contrary, instead of apologizing, you have said that the problem is that we do not understand the direct style of speech known to Calvinist culture. In our opinion, Calvinist culture has nothing to do with disdain for other people. This is the reason why we are again asking you - as representatives of European citizens, who have chosen us directly - to reflect and to rectify. Your statements attack one of the most important values that underpin our European Union: equality. In the last six decades, we have all managed together, Mr Dijsselbloem, to materialize a dream that once seemed unthinkable: that Europeans should be equal in opportunities, rights and obligations. The EU is not just rules, meetings and political decisions. What supports all of this, what gives meaning to the EU, are our common values, and equality as the most important one. Therefore, respecting these values should be the first obligation for any European leader, Mr Dijsselbloem. This includes assuming that European citizens, like any human being, are all equally respectable, regardless of our gender and our country of origin or residence. Attacking a certain group of countries as you have done is attacking each one of the EU countries.

  • Sprawozdanie Nt. Obsady Stanowisk W Parlamencie Europejskim 2014-2019 Bruksela, 8 Lipca 2014 R
    Bruksela, dnia 8 lipca 2014 r. Sprawozdanie nr 64/2014 Sprawozdanie nt. obsady stanowisk w Parlamencie Europejskim 2014-2019 Bruksela, 8 lipca 2014 r. Metodologia Podstawą rozstrzygnięć pomiędzy grupami politycznymi, jak i wewnątrz grup politycznych dotyczących obsady kluczowych stanowisk w PE jest system d’Hondta. Cały proces przebiega w toku negocjacji politycznych, w których ścierają się interesy grup politycznych oraz delegacji narodowych. W grupach politycznych, w zależności od liczby uzyskanych mandatów, tworzy się specjalny system punktów, przy wykorzystaniu którego dokonuje się podziału konkretnych stanowisk. W całym procesie dba się o zrównoważoną reprezentację dużych delegacji krajowych we wszystkich gremiach – np. także na stanowiskach wiceprzewodniczących PE (stanowiska reprezentacyjne o mniejszym znaczeniu politycznym, ale ważne dla prestiżu całego PE). I. Przewodniczący PE Martin Schulz (S&D/Niemcy), kadencja lipiec 2014 – grudzień 2016; uzyskał poparcie 409 eurodeputowanych; Wyniki pozostałych kandydatów: Sajjad Karim (ECR/Wielka Brytania) – 101 głosów; Pablo Iglesias (GUE/NGL, Hiszpania) – 51 głosów; Ulrike Lunacek (Zieloni/EFA, Austria) – 51 głosów. Przewodnictwo PE w kolejnej 2,5 letniej kadencji przypadnie przedstawicielowi EPP - spekuluje się, że będzie to Alain Lamassoure (Francja). 1 II. 14 Wiceprzewodniczących PE1: kadencja lipiec 2014 – grudzień 2016.

  • Brussels, 23 April 2021 Open Letter Concerning European Commitment
    Brussels, 23 April 2021 Open letter concerning European commitment to end homelessness at the Porto Social Summit Dear President of the European Council Michel, Dear Prime Minister Costa, Dear Members of the European Council, Dear Members of the Employment and Social Affairs Council, In its Communication on the Action Plan on the European Pillar of Social Rights, the European Commission rightly states that the number of homeless people has risen sharply and is currently unacceptably high. The European Commission also refers to the fact that the European Parliament and stakeholders want the EU to set an objective to end homelessness by 2030, which was most recently called for in the report on ‘Access to Decent and Affordable Housing’. As Nicolas Schmit, European Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights, Ana Mendes Godinho, Minister of Labour, Solidarity and Social Security in Portugal, and Yves Leterme, Goodwill Ambassador for the Fight against Homelessness in Europe, jointly stated in June 20201: “Though complex, homelessness is not insurmountable and can be overcome. Ending homelessness requires resolute action addressing its root causes, and investing in prevention and empowerment strategies. The European Union also has an important role to play: it can rally all interested stakeholders around a shared goal, galvanise the political commitment of Member States, facilitate exchange of best practice and support the scale-up of evidence-based policies via the EU budget.” While we welcome the proposal for an EU Platform on Combatting Homelessness and the High Level Conference on it as important steps for putting homelessness on the European agenda and supporting Member States’ actions, we regret that the European Commission did not include a shared European goal to reduce and ultimately end homelessness as a sub-target of the poverty reduction target in the action plan.
