  • 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].

  • Power Ranking of Meps in the Agricultural Committee of the European Parliament
    Who has the critical vote? Power ranking of MEPs in the Agricultural Committee of the European Parliament A. Kovacs¹; I. Fertő²; L. Kóczy²; B. Sziklai²; A.A. Nás² 1: Tec de Monterrey, Department of International Business, Mexico, 2: Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Economics, Hungary Corresponding author email: [email protected] Abstract: We analyze the voting power of the members of the agricultural committee of the European Parliament using a spatial Banzhaf power index. Using a novel dataset of roll-call votes in the current EP-term, we identify critical members whose votes are necessary to form winning coalitions. We found that committee members with formal positions, EP group coordinators as well as German, French, Italian and British members are powerful actors. Nevertheless, rapporteurs are not necessarily influential. We also concluded that members with moderate ideological position but from Member States with extreme agricultural importance are the most powerful ones.

  • 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.

    Bruxelles, 11 novembre 2020 DÉCLARATION COMMUNE de députés européens sur l'approche à deux poids deux mesures de l'UE en matière de pesticides dangereux Nous, députés du Parlement européen, appelons la Commission européenne à interdire l'exportation de pesticides qui ont été interdits dans l'Union européenne (UE) en raison de leurs effets néfastes sur la santé et l'environnement, et à cesser d'importer des denrées alimentaires produites avec ces substances dangereuses en dehors de l'UE. L'UE possède certaines des lois sur les pesticides les plus strictes au monde et a déjà interdit ou strictement limité l'utilisation de nombreux pesticides susceptibles de causer de graves dommages à la santé humaine ou à l'environnement. Cependant, les entreprises restent libres d'exporter ces produits dangereux pour une utilisation dans des pays tiers. En outre, l'UE autorise également l'importation de denrées alimentaires produits avec des pesticides interdits. Exportations de pesticides trop dangereux pour une utilisation dans l'UE En 2018, les pays de l’Union européenne ont approuvé l’exportation de 81 615 tonnes de pesticides contenant des substances dont l’utilisation est interdite dans leurs champs en raison des risques inacceptables qu’ils présentent pour la santé humaine ou l’environnement. C'est ce que dévoile une étude publiée le 10 septembre 2020. Au total, 41 pesticides interdits dans l’UE ont été annoncés à l’exportation par une trentaine de sociétés depuis 11 pays membres. La plupart des exportations sont destinées à des pays plus pauvres comme l'Afrique du Sud, l'Ukraine et le Brésil.

    101-06c Advocacy plan: Regional Alliances Regional Alliances - Advocacy Strategy 2020-2022 Please note: this strategy is a living document and needs further elaboration and thought. It will also need to be updated based on political opportunities that arise in the upcoming months and years until the end of 2022. 1. Advocacy issue 1.1. Definition of the problem: what is the problem? What are the root causes? Who is affected? What are the implications? In a world filled with new threats and opportunities, the European Union, as an actor on the world stage, needs to consolidate relations with its closest partners. The EU is a power that seeks to safeguard its interests vis-à-vis other big players in international relations in full respect of international law and its own values. Ursula von der Leyen, presenting for the first time her College of Commissioners said “My Commission will be a geopolitical Commission committed to sustainable policies. And I want the European Union to be the guardian of multilateralism. Because we know that we are stronger by doing together what we cannot do alone". A significant change in the new EC set up is the replacement of the ‘Development’ Commissioner with a Commissioner for ‘International Partnerships’, and it is unclear whether this marks a linguistic or substantive change. The emphasis on ‘partnerships’ rather than ‘development’ potentially signals a shift away from traditional donor/recipient relations and in this context CONCORD (with its members) must influence the EC interpretation of “international partnership” making sure that it won’t be exclusively focused on business, trade, growth, investment relations but that instead it will prioritise the wellbeing of people and planet and the fight against inequalities, promoting clear commitments towards a fairer and more sustainable world.
