Question for written answer E-000922/2021 to the Commission Rule 138 Isabella Tovaglieri (ID), Alessandro Panza (ID), Silvia Sardone (ID), Matteo Adinolfi (ID), Mara Bizzotto (ID), Marco Dreosto (ID), Paolo Borchia (ID), Rosanna Conte (ID) Subject: EU-China relations and the Comprehensive Agreement on Investment In the last few weeks, the negotiations on the EU-China Comprehensive Agreement on Investment (CAI) seem to have gained momentum, and several media outlets have highlighted this as a positive step forward. Despite the weak conditions of the European economy, still deeply afflicted by the pandemic-induced crisis, the Commission President has said that the CAI will give ‘unprecedented access to the Chinese market for EU investors, enabling our businesses to grow and create jobs’. In view of this very optimistic assessment, and considering the deep impact that the CAI will have on the market and the external policies of the EU, can the Commission please clarify the following: 1. Considering the importance of human rights in shaping EU trade policy, does the Commission believe that the advancement in CAI negotiations is based on a marked improvement in human rights conditions in China? 2. Has the Commission carried out an up-to-date impact assessment as regards the CAI and its effect on EU consumers and companies, in particular in the light of the current economic crisis? 3. Considering the importance of Transatlantic relations, has the Commission involved the US Government or informed it about this decision, and is the Commission considering coordinating trade and external policies with the US given the sensitivity of the matter? Supporter1 1 This question is supported by a Member other than the authors: Gianantonio Da Re (ID) PE689.306v01-00.

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.

Question for written answer E-006514/2020 to the Commission Rule 138 Simona Baldassarre (ID), Francesca Donato (ID), Lucia Vuolo (ID), Silvia Sardone (ID), Isabella Tovaglieri (ID), Massimo Casanova (ID), Annalisa Tardino (ID), Paolo Borchia (ID), Vincenzo Sofo (ID), Alessandra Basso (ID), Rosanna Conte (ID), Matteo Adinolfi (ID) Subject: Declassification of the content of the agreement signed with the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca On 27 August 2020, the Commission concluded an agreement with AstraZeneca for the supply of 300 million doses to Member States, plus an option for a further 100 million doses. The content of the agreement is currently classified, owing to the commercially sensitive information within it. However, this protection of AstraZeneca’s legitimate interests should also be balanced by the need for transparency in relation to citizens and their representatives. It is unusual for even MEPs not to have access to the vital information set out in the trade agreement signed by the Commission, especially considering that on 22 September 2020 the ENVI and ITRE committees had invited the pharmaceutical companies involved in the search for a vaccine to attend a hearing, but AstraZeneca had declined the invitation. In the light of the above, can the Commission answer the following questions: 1. Does it not consider it appropriate to share the content of the agreement with Parliament, while taking due precautions? 2. In its view, could such a situation not set a significant precedent when it comes to balancing the interests of the commercial protection of a company with the need for transparency and citizens’ right to health?

Ms Mairead Mcguinness European Commissioner for Financial Services, Financial Stability and the Capital Markets Union Mr
TO: Ms Mairead McGuinness European Commissioner for Financial Services, Financial Stability and the Capital Markets Union Mr Valdis Dombrovskis European Commission Executive Vice-President for An Economy that Works for People CC: Mr Frans Timmermans European Commission Executive Vice-President for the European Green Deal Ms Kadri Simson European Commissioner for Energy Brussels, 13 April 2021 Dear Executive Vice-President Dombrovskis, Dear Commissioner McGuinness, We are convinced that the Taxonomy Regulation is crucial for the European Union to achieve both the new greenhouse gas emissions reduction target for 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050. Additionally, the Regulation should help strengthening the European Union’s strategic resilience and global economic competitiveness, maintaining its energy security and affordability, boosting growth and job creation and supporting a just and inclusive energy transition that leaves nobody behind. However, to what extent the Taxonomy Regulation will ultimately meet these expectations depends primarily on the technical screening criteria (TSC) defined in the Delegated Act on climate change mitigation and adaptation. We understand the European Commission will publish it later this month, whereupon the European Parliament may make full use of its scrutinizing prerogatives under Article 290 TFEU. In advance of its publication, we would like to share with you some of our major concerns regarding the revised draft version of this delegated act. Firstly, it is indispensable that the Taxonomy Regulation takes into account transition at the energy system level and supports the most cost-efficient decarbonisation pathway for each Member State in line with the principle of technology neutrality. In this context, it is key to acknowledge the role of gaseous fuels.

Question for Written Answer E-001911/20 to the Commission Marco
(English version) Question for written answer E-001911/20 to the Commission Marco Dreosto (ID), Massimo Casanova (ID), Rosanna Conte (ID), Danilo Oscar Lancini (ID), Antonio Maria Rinaldi (ID), Stefania Zambelli (ID), Anna Bonfrisco (ID), Andrea Caroppo (ID), Alessandra Basso (ID), Matteo Adinolfi (ID) (27 March 2020) Subject: European commitment to economic recovery in the Member States following the Covid-19 emergency The Covid-19 emergency will shortly and certainly create tensions regarding manufacturing, employment and logistics in every Member State, to the extent that countries are now discussing, nationally, how to deal with future macroeconomic scenarios. In order to avoid problems of social, as well as financial, unrest, and to revive consumption and investment, leading figures and political forces have argued that indirect taxation could be frozen for a certain period of time and that this could be done also by introducing the so-called zero VAT rate. This approach seems to be in line with the recent speech by President von der Leyen on the suspension of the Stability Pact and state aid rules, later summarised by the press with the motto ‘whatever it takes’. In its press release of 13 March, the Commission subsequently explained the President's thinking in more detail and confirmed the concept of ‘suspension’, without, however, openly declaring its non-opposition to a possible national cancellation or reduction of VAT. Will the Commission accept the proposal for individual Member States to reduce VAT to zero or, in any case, reduce it very substantially, or does it regard that as being contrary to the acquis communautaire — first and foremost the VAT Directive (Directive 2006/112/EC) and subsequent amendments? Supporter (1) Answer given by Mr Gentiloni on behalf of the European Commission (9 June 2020) The directive on value added tax (VAT) (2) provides a wide scope for Member States to take action to alleviate the negative impact of the COVID-19 crisis.

Question for Written Answer
Question for written answer E-001439/2021/rev.1 to the Commission Rule 138 Paolo Borchia (ID), Simona Baldassarre (ID), Matteo Adinolfi (ID), Alessandra Basso (ID), Massimo Casanova (ID), Danilo Oscar Lancini (ID), Rosanna Conte (ID), Angelo Ciocca (ID), Valentino Grant (ID), Marco Dreosto (ID), Elena Lizzi (ID), Alessandro Panza (ID), Antonio Maria Rinaldi (ID), Isabella Tovaglieri (ID), Lucia Vuolo (ID), Stefania Zambelli (ID), Marco Zanni (ID), Annalisa Tardino (ID), Mara Bizzotto (ID), Silvia Sardone (ID), Marco Campomenosi (ID) Subject: Exportation of EU-produced vaccines outside the Union According to press reports, as at 9 March the EU had allowed the export of a total of 34 090 287 vaccine doses to at least 31 third countries, including 9 106 162 to the UK, 3 917 640 to Canada, 3 134 204 to Mexico, 2 720 210 to Japan, 1 368 900 to Saudi Arabia, 1.3 million to Hong Kong and 953 723 to the USA. On 9 March the President of the European Council stated that the exporting of vaccines outside the Union was the result not only of business decisions made by the producing companies but also of a political strategy put in place by the European institutions to supply countries outside Europe with doses produced within the EU. Can the Commission therefore answer the following questions: 1. Can it confirm the accuracy of the above information? 2. Does it acknowledge that the delegation of powers from the Member States to the Commission to coordinate the procurement of vaccines was intended to ensure the Member States themselves had adequate supplies and not for possible exports outside the EU? 3.
