  • Members of the European Parliament Mr Janusz
    Members of the European Parliament Mr Janusz Wojciechowski Commissioner for Agriculture European Commission Rue de la Loi 200 B-1049 Bruxelles Mr Virginijus Sinkevičius Commissioner for Environment, Oceans and Fisheries European Commission Rue de la Loi 200 B-1049 Bruxelles Brussels, 11 November 2020 Subject: Deforestation and illegal logging of Romania’s primary forests Dear Commissioners, we, the undersigned Members of the European Parliament, are addressing you to express our deep concerns about massive violations of the protection of Natura 2000 areas, primary and ancient forests and UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Romania. In Romania, deforestation caused by illegal logging is continuing on an alarming scale. It threatens the last and irreplaceable primary forests in the EU, which are more crucial than ever in the fight against climate change and for the preservation of biodiversity. According to expert estimates, up to two thirds of the EU’s remaining primary forests are located in Romania. Largely untouched areas in the Romanian Carpathian Mountains and the Făgăraș Mountains have survived until today – a European if not global heritage of invaluable ecological value. Some of these forests are also included in the List of World Heritage Sites UNESCO.1 Now, ruthless greed and large-scale corruption are seriously endangering these European natural treasures and the time for protective measures is running out. If no immediate action is taken, the still existing forests will soon be lost forever. Since the launch of the European Commission’s infringement procedure against Romania on 12 February 2020 for failing to establish effective measures against illegal logging2, thousands more hectares were destroyed.

  • 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.

  • Ramona Strugariu European Parliament, WIB 05M047 1047, Brussels Brussels, 29.04.2020
    Ramona Strugariu European Parliament, WIB 05M047 1047, Brussels Brussels, 29.04.2020 Dear Vice-President Jourova, Dear Commissioner Reynders, Dear Commissioner Breton, We are writing to you to reiterate previous calls for a proposal establishing a permanent European fund for journalists under the framework of the next MFF (2021-2027), as the current situation imposes a redrafting of the upcoming EU budget, as well as an Emergency Media Fund to support independent journalism and media outlets deeply affected by the crisis. It has long been time for the Commission to take the bold, courageous measures for safeguarding the freedom of the press and for establishing such a fund. The situation of the media had been very fragile for several years and with this exceptional context now, it has become more acute than ever and it rapidly continues to deteriorate. Local media is literally dying as we speak. Had such funding been available, the high toll this crisis is taking on the media sector would have been considerably less burdensome. Over the course of the previous years, we have seen the successful implementation of several projects providing financial support to media outlets. However, in order for this support to be sustainable and consistent, a permanent dedicated fund with grants independently distributed by a dedicated EU body is now, more than ever, a necessity. A free and independent press lays at the core of democracy, transparency, the protection of our fundamental values and our Union’s fight against disinformation. Reporters Without Borders highlighted in the recently published 2020 World Press Freedom Index, that the COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the threats to press freedom.

  • Ramona-Victoria Strugariu European Parliament, WIB 05M047 1047, Brussels Brussels, 30Th of April 2020
    Ramona-Victoria Strugariu European Parliament, WIB 05M047 1047, Brussels Brussels, 30th of April 2020 Dear Commissioner Breton, Dear Commissioner Gabriel, The Corona virus crisis is not only a medical, logistical and economic challenge, it is also a cultural challenge. As it was also underlined in the resolution of the European Parliament adopted on the 17th of April 2020 - EU coordinated action to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences, the cultural and creative sectors in the Member States have been hit especially hard due to the closure of cinemas, theatres and music venues and the sudden stop of ticket sales. The current crisis is particularly critical for cultural and creative sectors due to the sudden and massive loss of revenue opportunities. In the aforementioned resolution, the European Parliament has also pointed out that these sectors have high numbers of freelance and self- employed workers, many of whom were struggling well before the outbreak and that the effects are particularly dire for creative professionals, whose income streams have been unexpectedly reduced to zero and who now have little or no support from the social system. The current situation creates therefore a structural threat to the survival of many actors involved in cultural and creative production. And yet cultural actors have found creative ways to offer hope amid the COVID-19 crisis and showed their solidarity in very concrete ways. Many cultural institutions and actors have provided online and free content in recent weeks, aware of the fact that the availability of cultural contents contributes to the mental health and the general well-being of our populations, especially in times of crisis when citizens are confronted with the reality of disease and lockdowns.

  • Armons L'europe Contre Des Dérives Autoritaires
    APPEL Armons l’Europe contre des dérives autoritaires L’Europe, berceau des droits de l’Homme, de la liberté et de la démocratie, a de tout temps promu ses valeurs bien au-delà de ses frontières. Parlement européen, Conseil de l’Europe, États, tous défendent ces principes universels et appellent les pays du monde à les respecter. Mais aujourd’hui, notre continent inquiète. Le vrai visage des populistes Des leaders politiques profitent aujourd’hui d’une situation sanitaire inédite pour s’arroger des pouvoirs disproportionnés et illimités dans le temps. En Pologne, le chef de la majorité ultraconservatrice PiS a tenté un coup de force au Parlement pour maintenir l’élection présidentielle en mai en proposant de généraliser le vote par correspondance. Une proposition finalement rejetée après plusieurs semaines de protestations des partis d’opposition et de la société civile. Le président sortant Andrzej Duda, en campagne pour sa réélection, profite de l'épidémie pour exister seul dans les médias. En Hongrie, le premier ministre Viktor Orban a fait adopter une loi d’exception invraisemblable, lui conférant les pleins pouvoirs pour une période indéfinie. Point d’orgue, c’est à l’exécutif, donc Orban lui-même, de décider le moment opportun pour lever ces pouvoirs extraordinaires. Aucun dirigeant n'a besoin d’une telle concentration des pouvoirs. Ces dernières années, des régimes populistes ont accédé au pouvoir dans nos villes, nos régions, et jusqu’au sommet de l’État, avec de belles promesses. Nous observons, sans surprise et avec amertume, que ce sont à présent ces régimes qui bafouent les principes fondamentaux sur lesquels repose notre société : les libertés, la démocratie, l’État de droit.
