Letter to the Commission Regarding Printers Voluntary Agreement
Brussels, Wednesday 26th of May To: Mr Virginijus Sinkevičius, European Commissioner for Environment, Oceans and Fisheries Mr Thierry Breton, European Commissioner for the Internal Market Mr Frans Timmermans, European Commission Executive Vice-President for the European Green Deal We urge the European Commission to keep its promises and propose a regulatory measure addressing the durability and repairability of printers as well as the reusability of cartridges as part of the forthcoming Circular Electronics Initiative. And we ask that the Commission rejects the proposed voluntary agreement drafted by manufacturers. The Commission's flagship Circular Economy Action Plan, adopted in March 2020, has set out to address the entire life cycle of products and tackle their premature obsolescence notably by promoting the right to repair for ICT products. In addition to mobile phones, laptops and tablets, the Plan has rightfully identified printers as a particularly wasteful product category, and has included a commitment to tackle them by means of a dedicated regulatory instrument “unless the sector reaches an ambitious voluntary agreement” by September 2020. Nearly one year later, the discussions on the voluntary agreement have not yielded any tangible results. Voluntary approaches clearly do not work. We need strong regulatory action now. We are extremely concerned by this situation. Not only because of the negative impacts of short-lived printers on the environment and on consumers but also because we are witnessing promises made being walked back on. Printers are one of the most iconic examples of premature obsolescence. Our analysis of printers in use today suggests that over 80% of them have been in use for less than 3 years, and only about 4% have been in use for 5 years or longer.

How Big Is Belgium's Love Still for Europe? - the Low Countries 29/05/2020 21:18
How Big Is Belgium's Love Still for Europe? - the low countries 29/05/2020 21:18 © Trui Chielens Zero Point 1945 SOCIETY HISTORY How Big Is Belgium's Love Still for Europe? By Ellen Vanderschueren, Jasper Praet, Hendrik Vos translated by Elisabeth Salverda 29/05/2020 ! 11 min reading time After the Second World War, Belgium was one of Europe’s founders. Over the years, Belgian politicians have played a prominent role in European politics. There was always a shared feeling among the population that integration with Europe was useful and in the national interest. In recent times, however, this consensus has been somewhat worn down. n 2009, the first President of the European Council to be appointed was a I Belgian, when Herman Van Rompuy became “President of Europe”. Five years later Donald Tusk, a former prime minister of Poland, took over the helm. And five years after that, in 2019, the role fell to a Belgian once more: Charles Michel fit the jigsaw of nominations and was asked by his colleagues to chair the European Council. Belgians have quite often had a steering role in European politics. Belgium was one of the founders of the European project, and has played a very active role over the years in its process of integration. https://www.the-low-countries.com/article/how-big-is-belgiums-love-still-for-europe Pagina 1 van 15 How Big Is Belgium's Love Still for Europe? - the low countries 29/05/2020 21:18 Herman Van Rompuy and Charles Michel, the first and current President of the European Council Much has changed over the past seventy years: the Community with a focus on coal and steel has grown into a European Union that plays a significant role in almost all economic and political spheres.

Question for Written Answer
Question for written answer E-000597/2021 to the Commission Rule 138 Luisa Regimenti (ID), Silvia Sardone (ID), Anna Bonfrisco (ID), Lucia Vuolo (ID), Elena Lizzi (ID), Marco Dreosto (ID), Stefania Zambelli (ID), Massimo Casanova (ID), Francesca Donato (ID), Gianna Gancia (ID), Simona Baldassarre (ID), Gilles Lebreton (ID), Bernhard Zimniok (ID), Carlo Fidanza (ECR), Joachim Kuhs (ID), Ioan-Rareş Bogdan (PPE), Sergio Berlato (ECR), Raffaele Stancanelli (ECR), Salvatore De Meo (PPE), Daniela Rondinelli (NI), Vilija Blinkevičiūtė (S&D), Ivan Vilibor Sinčić (NI), Ivan Štefanec (PPE), Elżbieta Kruk (ECR), Herve Juvin (ID) Subject: Measures to protect children on the internet Paedophilia has, in recent times, become an extremely serious issue, not only as a result of the large- scale dissemination of material over the Web, but also because the latter allows for intimate exchanges between possible partners, eliminating certain cultural, personal and age-related differences which normally limit relationships between adults and minors. The activities of the EU legislator do not, in fact, take into account all cases in which sexual abuse is directly consumed online, i.e. where child pornography is provided by the child following the establishment of a relationship of trust between predator and victim. Furthermore, uncontrolled use of the internet can facilitate access to content that is not suitable for children, such as websites that glorify practices relating to anorexia and bulimia, including websites that incite suicide and self-harm. In view of this: 1. Will the Commission collect and study data on online paedophilia in order to promote a child- friendly use of the Web? 2.

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].

Lettera Sassoli Chiusura Parlamento IT.Pages
8 marzo 2020 Caro Presidente Sassoli, Ti scriviamo per esprimere la nostra profonda preoccupazione per la diffusione della malattia infettiva causata dal coronavirus COVID-19 in Europa e per richiedere ulte- riori misure di sicurezza per salvaguardare i Membri del Parlamento europeo, il per- sonale e la popolazione locale. Come ben sai, il livello di emergenza legato alla diffusione di questo virus è note- volmente aumentato nel corso delle ultime ore: il numero di casi confermati si sta moltiplicando in molti Stati membri, compreso il Belgio, e sono state confermate nuove aree di contagio. Misure di sicurezza straordinarie sono state adottate dalle autorità pubbliche di tutta Europa e intere aree sono state messe in quarantena. Il numero di casi confermati è in costante aumento in Belgio e a Bruxelles e questa settimana abbiamo riscontrato i primi casi di nuovi coronavirus nelle istituzioni del- l'UE. Sebbene apprezziamo che siano già state adottate misure straordinarie per far fron- te a questa emergenza, riteniamo che la situazione in rapida evoluzione e i maggiori rischi per la salute richiedano ulteriori misure di sicurezza come l'immediata interru- zione di tutti i lavori parlamentari, compresa la prossima sessione plenaria, come misura precauzionale. Il Parlamento europeo, con oltre 5000 persone che vi lavorano e viaggiano regolar- mente tra la loro città natale e Bruxelles, ha il potenziale per diventare un focolaio di trasmissione del coronavirus. Con la presente ti chiediamo di sospendere tutte le attività parlamentari con effetto immediato, fino a quando i rischi per la salute legati alla diffusione del virus saranno sotto controllo.

To the President of the European Commission Mrs. Ursula Von Der Leyen, Rue De La Loi / Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels
To the President of the European Commission Mrs. Ursula von der Leyen, Rue de la Loi / Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels To the Executive Vice-President of the European Commission Mr. Vladis Dombrovskis Rue de la Loi / Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels Brussels, 22 October 2020, Subject: the EU must impose an import ban on Chinese companies using forced labour Dear President von der Leyen, Dear Vice-President Dombrovskis, For years, the Chinese regime has been detaining millions of human beings in camps, just because they were born Uyghurs. For years, Europe and the world have been witnessing a crime against humanity without opposing any resistance to it. In recent months, several studies have reported the use of Uyghur forced labour for the benefit of major European companies. Indeed, many Chinese factories, directly supplying EU brands exploit the Uyghurs and benefit from their forced labour. Facing this abjection, Europe must act to protect the lives and fundamental rights of Uyghurs. The EU should use its trade and market power to safeguards the founding principles enrichened in our Treaties and guiding our external policies. As the US did lately through an imports ban passed almost unanimously in the US House of Representatives, Europe urgently needs to establish a blacklist of Chinese companies implicated in Uyghur forced labour. We look forward to your response. Yours sincerely, 1. Raphaël Glucksmann, S&D 2. Dietmar Köster, S&D 3. Francisco Guerreiro, Greens 4. Sylvie Guillaume, S&D 5. Aurore Lalucq, S&D 6.

Lo Scorso Giugno L'organizzazione Internazionale Wikileaks Ha Pubblicato Una Presunta Bozza Dell'accordo Commerciale Sugli Scambi Di Servizi (Tisa)
Lo scorso giugno l'organizzazione internazionale WikiLeaks ha pubblicato una presunta bozza dell'Accordo commerciale sugli scambi di servizi (TiSA). Tali rivelazioni, che denotano importanti conseguenze in merito alla privatizzazione di servizi fondamentali, come banche, sanità e istruzione, vanno ad aggiungersi alle analisi previste dai negoziati in atto, quali la disamina dei principi comuni per la regolamentazione dei servizi finanziari e la valutazione dei potenziali vantaggi per crescita e occupazione. L'UE ha inoltre pubblicato recentemente un concept paper che indica una struttura dell'accordo basata su un approccio modulare simile a quello utilizzato per il ciclo negoziale di Doha. Per giunta l'accordo, oltre ad essere delineato con marginale trasparenza, potrebbe, secondo le disposizioni, non essere rivelato per i cinque anni successivi alla sua approvazione. A tal proposito, può la Commissione indicare: — come il TiSA determinerà le politiche economiche dei maggiori paesi a capitalismo avanzato e se i parlamenti degli Stati interessati verranno coinvolti; — quali benefici concreti potranno avverarsi per crescita e occupazione, e come il disciplinamento delle attività finanziarie e dei servizi summenzionati verrà alterato; — se ritiene che l'approccio strutturale indicato possa portare a un risultato fallimentare come accaduto per il Doha Round e se, in omaggio alla trasparenza, prevede una consultazione pubblica relativamente ai dieci cicli di negoziati che avranno luogo quest'autunno? Marco Valli (EFDD) , Tiziana Beghin (EFDD) , David Borrelli (EFDD) , Fabio Massimo Castaldo (EFDD) , Ignazio Corrao (EFDD) , Laura Ferrara (EFDD) , Dario Tamburrano (EFDD) , Marco Zanni (EFDD) Secondo quanto riferito di recente da diversi comunicati stampa, la Commissione potrebbe approvare il piano di aiuti di Stato del Regno Unito a favore della centrale nucleare «Hinkley Point C».

Europe's Two-Faced Authoritarian Right FINAL.Pdf
1 Europe’s two-faced authoritarian right: ‘anti-elite’ parties serving big business interests 15 May 2019 INTRODUCTION If the more pessimistic projections are to be believed, authoritarian right-wing politicians will do well in the upcoming European Parliament elections, reflecting a surge in EU scepticism and disillusionment with establishment parties, many of whom have overseen a decade or more of punishing austerity. These authoritarian right parties are harnessing this disillusionment using the rhetoric of ending corruption, tackling ‘elite’ interests, regaining ‘national’ dignity and identity, and defending the rights of ‘ordinary people’. However, the contrast between this rhetoric and their actual actions is stark. From repressive laws to dark money funding; from corruption scandals to personal enrichment; from corporate deregulation to enabling tax avoidance, the defence of ‘elite’ interests disguised as the defence of disaffected classes is a defining characteristic of Europe’s rising authoritarian right parties. After the election, Europe could well see the formation of a new axis by these parties across the EU institutions, simultaneously becoming a significant force in the European Parliament, while having a strong voice in the Council and European Council, and nominating like-minded commissioners to the EU’s executive. Such an alliance could undermine or prevent action to tackle some of the most pressing issues facing us such as climate change, whilst working against workers’ rights, and measures to regulate and tax business
