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].

European Alliance for a Green Recovery
Launch of the European alliance for a Green Recovery Press Release Under embargo until 14/04 7:00am At the initiative of Pascal Canfin, Chair of the Environment Committee at the European Parliament, 180 political decision-makers, business leaders, trade unions, NGOs, and think tanks have come together to form a European alliance for a Green Recovery. In the face of the coronavirus crisis, the biggest challenge Europe has faced in peacetime, with devastating consequences and a shock to the economy tougher than the 2008 crisis, Ministers from 11 countries, 79 cross-party MEPs from 17 Member States, 37 CEOs, 28 business associations representing 10 different sectors, trade union confederation representing members from 90 national trade union organisations and 10 trade union federations, 7 NGOs and 6 think tanks, have committed to working together to create, support and implement solutions to prepare our economies for the world of tomorrow. This first pan-European call for mobilisation on post-crisis green investment packages will work to build the recovery and transformation plans which enshrine the fight against climate change and biodiversity as a key pillar of the economic strategy. Sharing the belief that the economic recovery will only come with massive investments to protect and create jobs and to support all companies, regions and sectors that have suffered from the economy coming to a sudden halt, the alliance commits to contribute to the post-crisis investment decisions needed to reboot and reboost our economy. Covid-19 will not make climate change and nature degradation go away. The fight against this crisis will not be won without a solid economic response.

A Look at the New European Parliament Page 1 INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMITTEE (INTA)
THE NEW EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT KEY COMMITTEE COMPOSITION 31 JULY 2019 INTRODUCTION After several marathon sessions, the European Council agreed on the line-up for the EU “top jobs” on 2 July 2019. The deal, which notably saw German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen (CDU, EPP) surprisingly designated as the next European Commission (EC) President, meant that the European Parliament (EP) could proceed with the election of its own leadership on 3 July. The EPP and Renew Europe (formerly ALDE) groups, in line with the agreement, did not present candidates for the EP President. As such, the vote pitted the S&D’s David-Maria Sassoli (IT) against two former Spitzenkandidaten – Ska Keller (DE) of the Greens and Jan Zahradil (CZ) of the ACRE/ECR, alongside placeholder candidate Sira Rego (ES) of GUE. Sassoli was elected President for the first half of the 2019 – 2024 mandate, while the EPP (presumably EPP Spitzenkandidat Manfred Weber) would take the reins from January 2022. The vote was largely seen as a formality and a demonstration of the three largest Groups’ capacity to govern. However, Zahradil received almost 100 votes (more than the total votes of the ECR group), and Keller received almost twice as many votes as there are Greens/EFA MEPs. This forced a second round in which Sassoli was narrowly elected with just 11 more than the necessary simple majority. Close to 12% of MEPs did not cast a ballot. MEPs also elected 14 Vice-Presidents (VPs): Mairead McGuinness (EPP, IE), Pedro Silva Pereira (S&D, PT), Rainer Wieland (EPP, DE), Katarina Barley (S&D, DE), Othmar Karas (EPP, AT), Ewa Kopacz (EPP, PL), Klara Dobrev (S&D, HU), Dita Charanzová (RE, CZ), Nicola Beer (RE, DE), Lívia Járóka (EPP, HU) and Heidi Hautala (Greens/EFA, FI) were elected in the first ballot, while Marcel Kolaja (Greens/EFA, CZ), Dimitrios Papadimoulis (GUE/NGL, EL) and Fabio Massimo Castaldo (NI, IT) needed the second round.

Volodymyr Zelensky President Ukraine CC
Volodymyr Zelensky President Ukraine CC: Federica Mogherini High Representative of the Union Brussels, 04 september 2019 Dear President, It has come to our attention that the Russian Federation has requested that Mr Vladimir Borisovich Tsemakh be handed over as part of a prisoner exchange negotiated between the Russian Federation and Ukraine. Mr Tsemakh is a former commander of pro-Russian air defence forces in the non-government controlled territory of the so-called "Donetsk People's Republic" and is a key suspect in the tragedy of passenger flight MH17, shot down in eastern Ukraine on 17 July 2014 by a Russian BUK missile. All 298 people on board, including 196 Dutch, were killed. While we understand the context within which such negotiations are taking place and the diplomatic efforts by the Ukrainian authorities to this end, Mr Tsemakh is a suspect in the criminal investigation related to the downing of flight MH17 and his availability and testimony before the Joint Investigation Team is thus of the utmost importance for an effective prosecution by the countries involved. Mr Tsemakh is a Ukrainian citizen and is under Ukrainian custody. UNSC resolution 2166 demands that those directly or indirectly responsible for the downing of MH17 must be held accountable and must be brought to justice. The European Parliament and the European Council have reiterated on numerous occasions their full support to the work of the Joint Investigation Team and the ongoing efforts. All States that are in a position to assist with the investigation and prosecution of those responsible must fully cooperate with the ongoing criminal investigation.

Ms Ursula Von Der Leyen, President of the European Commission European Commission Rue De La Loi/Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels
Ms Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission European Commission Rue de la Loi/Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels Mr Charles Michel, President of the European Council European Commission Rue de la Loi/Wetstraat 175 1049 Brussels Brussels, 27 July 2020 Dear President von der Leyen, Dear President Michel, With this letter, we would like to draw your attention to the Polish government’s expressed intent to withdraw from the Istanbul Convention on fighting domestic violence. This latest development shows that we can never take women’s rights for granted. This is disrespectful, a clear violation of women’s rights and unacceptable. The signal the Polish government is sending is a highly troubling one in times that are already challenging for women. Women have been hit disproportionally hard by the Covid-19 crisis and face an increase in cases of domestic violence. The European Union is founded upon shared values that are enshrined in our Treaties, amongst them equality between men and women. We cannot regress on these core values stipulated in Article 2 TEU. We should never accept it when one of our Member States backtracks from equality. That is why we call on you, as the President of the European Commission, guardian of the treaties, and as the President of the European Council, to do everything within your power to discourage the Polish government from taking this misstep. Madam President, in your political guidelines, you made the commitment that the EU’s accession to the Istanbul Convention is a key priority for the Commission and that if the accession remains blocked in the Council, you would consider tabling proposals on minimum standards regarding the definition of certain types of violence, and strengthening the Victims’ Rights Directive.

Ms. Adina Vălean Brussels, 30 March 2020 European Commissioner for Transport
Ms. Adina Vălean Brussels, 30 March 2020 European Commissioner for Transport Ms. Margrethe Vestager Executive Vice President of the European Commission, in charge of competition policy Subject: COVID-19: Maritime rescue and recovery action plan Dear Commissioner, Dear Executive Vice-President, The COVID-19 outbreak has developed into a catastrophic event affecting many countries and their citizens around the globe. The maritime sector, responsible for almost 90% of EU’s external freight trade and 32% of the intra EU transport of goods is at stake. The EU’s internal market, citizens and industries need the smooth and timely transportation of essential goods, food, medicines and a vast range of products of first necessity. Mitigating the economic impact of the crisis and ensuring the continuity of industry and supply chains is of utmost importance for EU citizens and our European Single market. The expected transport of volumes for all good flows are already lagging behind the original forecasts, with a particularly negative effect on container transport. Moreover, the slowdown of the Global and European economy will have an effect of which we cannot yet determine the magnitude. Firstly, we would like to thank you and the entire Commission for recognising transport as one the most affected sectors by the COVID-19 crisis. In this regard, we also welcome the measures you have taken so far to compensate the economic damages, to guide Member States across the Union when it comes to the border management and the accompanying implementation guidelines. However, the sea and inland ports and the shipping industry urgently need a sector-specific rescue and recovery action plan in order to ensure the continuity of seaborne trade to and from the EU, as well as intra -EU, and to ensure the health and the safety of transport workers in the sector.

Przeczytaj i działaj! Na wstępie kilka słów wyjaśnienia. Projekt ten powstał bo są jeszcze osoby, które mają dość czekania. Czekania na spełnienie obietnic, także tych przed- wyborczych. Czekania i liczenia na to, aż ktoś coś zrobi dla pokrzywdzonych. Czekania na jakąkolwiek, sensowną, a nie propagandową inicjatywę mianowa- nych i samozwańczych reprezentantów pokrzywdzonych, którzy do tej pory ta- kiej inicjatywy nie podjęli. Oni, z sobie tylko znanych powodów, mogą czekać i zwlekać. My nie możemy! Co trzeba zrobić? Coś bardzo prostego. Wysłać e-maile do europosłów. Ale nie do wszystkich. E-maile wysyłamy tylko do szefów i kierownictw grup w Parla- mencie Europejskim. Także do grupy, w której znajdują się osoby odpowie- dzialne za kradzież świadczeń. Dlaczego? Bo mimo licznych, przedwyborczych haseł i zapowiedzi kandydatów Koalicji Europejskiej, europosłowie spoza Polski niczego nie wiedzą o tym, co wydarzyło się 16 grudnia 2016 roku, o przyczy- nach i skutkach tego wydarzenia, o wzajemnym związku grudniowej ustawy z bieżącą sytuacją w polskim sądownictwie Dlatego jako adresatów pomijamy polskich europosłów. Tych z PiS-u, z wiadomych przyczyn. Pozostałych dlatego, że wiedzą, ale skoro do tej pory nie podzielili się tą wiedzą z kolegami z macie- rzystej grupy, nie zrobią tego nawet po przeczytaniu dziesiątek takich czy po- dobnych e-maili. Oni na swoich zapracowanych głowach mają o wiele ważniej- sze sprawy niż - za przeproszeniem - jacyś tam emeryci z podejrzaną, PRL- owską przeszłością, potrzebni tylko w okresie wyborczym.
