This booklet is based on a work that was done by the German Greens lead by Anna Cavazzini and Reinhard Bütikofer. The information can also help you prepare for your local election programmes or campaigns. We place particular emphasis on how the people in your community benefi t practically from Europe, ranging from (Secretary General EGP) environmental protection to structural Mar Garcia policy, and what the Greens in Europe have achieved for European communi- ties. If you need more information on a spe- cifi c topic - no problem: in each chapter, you will fi nd a contact person who has contributed to this handbook and can answer your questions. We hope that this handbook will help you to prepare for the upcoming Euro- pean and local elections. Best regards 1. How do cities and municipalities benefi t from Europe? 5 1.1.

  • Datenschutz in Europa
    Fraktion der Progressiven Allianz der Sozialdemokraten im Europäischen Parlament Datenschutz in Europa © Gerd Altmann / pixelio.de Jutta Haug Bernhard Rapkay Birgit Sippel Die SPD-Europaabgeordneten für das Westliche Westfalen Datenschutz in Europa Vorwort Datenschutz ist ein Grundrecht. Niedergelegt in Art. 8 der Charta der Grundrechte der Europäi- schen Union heißt es da im Punkt 1: „Jede Person hat das Recht auf Schutz der sie betreffenden personenbezogenen Daten.“ Doch das Recht auf Datenschutz in Europa ist in den 27, demnächst 28 Mitgliedstaaten sehr unter- schiedlich geregelt. Es gibt zwar eine für alle verbindliche Richtlinie aus dem Jahr 1995; aber un- terschiedliche Umsetzungen haben zu einem ungleichen Datenschutzniveau in der EU geführt. Da- rüber hinaus sind wir fast 20 Jahre weiter und es gibt heute völlig neue und auch größere Heraus- forderungen für den Datenschutz. Um dem Rechnung zu tragen, ist eine Änderung der Datenschutzgesetzgebung nötig, für die die EU-Kommission im vergangenen Jahr zwei Vorschläge unterbreitet hat. Ziel ist ein einheitliches, modernes Datenschutzrecht mit hohen Standards für die ganze Europäische Union. Diese Vorschläge werden momentan in den zuständigen Gremien des Europäischen Parlamentes beraten. Der federführende Ausschuss für Bürgerliche Freiheiten, Justiz und Inneres (LIBE) wird in absehbarer Zeit einen Beschlussvorschlag unterbreiten. Wie heftig und umstritten die Debatte dazu ist, zeigt die Tatsache, dass einschließlich der Änderungsvorschläge der beiden Berichterstatter Dimitrios Droutsas (S&D-Fraktion) und Jan Philipp Albrecht (Fraktion der GRÜNEN) fast 4000 Änderungsanträge, die sich zum Teil natürlich diametral entgegenstehen, aus den Reihen der Ab- geordneten unterbreitet wurden. Die vorliegende Broschüre soll einen knappen Einstieg in diese Debatte vermitteln. Sobald im LIBE-Ausschuss das Mandat für die dann folgenden Verhandlungen mit dem (Justiz-) Ministerrat beschlossen wurde, werden wir in einer Folgebroschüre diese Entscheidung beschrei- ben.

They long to know what the decision-makers are thinking, so they can plan ahead. They yearn to be in the loop, to have the drop on things. It is the genius of the lobbyists and the consultants to understand this need, and to satisfy it in the most imaginative way. Business forums are vehicles for forging links and maintain a dialogue with business, industrial and trade organisations. They allow the discussions of general and pre-legislative issues in a different context from lobbying contacts about specific matters. They provide an opportunity to get Members of the European Parliament and other decision-makers from the European institutions together with various business sectors.
