Question for written answer E-001341/2020 to the Commission Rule 138 Elisabetta Gualmini (S&D), Patrizia Toia (S&D), Simona Bonafè (S&D), Pina Picierno (S&D), Brando Benifei (S&D), Alessandra Moretti (S&D), Giuliano Pisapia (S&D), Paolo De Castro (S&D), Irene Tinagli (S&D), Franco Roberti (S&D), Giuseppe Ferrandino (S&D), Massimiliano Smeriglio (S&D), Pietro Bartolo (S&D), Pierfrancesco Majorino (S&D), Caterina Chinnici (S&D) Subject: Health emergency in the EU Since December 2019, the COVID-19 virus, which, it is assumed, originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan, has spread around the world. No vaccine is available for this highly contagious and rapidly spreading virus which poses a threat to the elderly and persons with an immunodeficiency and has a significant mortality rate. National health systems are therefore under pressure and Member States have responded in a number of different ways. Faced with challenges of this nature which can have a dramatic effect on public health and the EU economy, what is needed is a highly coordinated, if not unified, response by the Member States. Will the Commission say: will it recommend a joint approach of this kind based on Article 168 (6) TFEU and in compliance with the Schengen system? in order to safeguard the right to health (Article 35 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights) and promote health (Articles 9 and 168 TFEU), does it consider it advisable to strengthen the preventive measures to be taken in the event of a transnational health emergency that meet the need for common national measures, modelled on the EU’s external border controls, and for greater coordination between national health and administrative authorities? to this end, will it consider reviewing Decision No. 1082/2013/EU and extending the legal basis to include Articles 77,196 and 197 TFEU?

Green Deal – The Coordinators David Sassoli S&D ”I want the European Green Deal to become Europe’s hallmark.

I want Europe to be 1 February 2020 – H1 2024 the front-runner.

Choose Europe! Join for the Opening of the New European Parliament!
CHOOSE EUROPE! JOIN FOR THE OPENING OF THE NEW EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT! 1st of July 2019 | Strasbourg, France Citizens’ Agora European Youth Centre Strasbourg 30, rue Pierre de Coubertin, 67000 A new Parliament for a new Europe European Parliamentary Association 76 Allée de la Robertsau, 67000 2nd of July 2019 | Strasbourg, France Rally In front of the European Parliament 1 Avenue du Président Robert Schuman INTRODUCTION We have a newly elected Europe Parliament. It should become the front-runner in promoting a new Europe. Join us in Strasbourg for the opening session on 1-2 July to voice our demands for a more democratic, more social, more federal - a sovereign Europe! We are organising a 2 days bus trip from Brussels. The European Union has been “at a critical junction” for far too long. Radical reforms of the Euro, unity on security and defence, European democracy are urgently needed. Meanwhile Brexit looms, nationalism is on the rise, and citizens are puzzled on what Europe brings and where it is heading to. The next term of the European Parliament will be crucial to put Europe on a new course. The history of the European Union is one of citizens gathering and calling on elected leaders for more decisive steps towards political unity for the European people. Join us in Strasbourg to show that citizens support a federal Europe and engage with federalist members of the European Parliament on how to promote federalist goals in the newly elected Parliament. EU national leaders have failed us. European integration by intergovernmental cooperation has the EU stuck in a status quo that could well be its downfall.

Uef-Spinelli Group
UEF-SPINELLI GROUP MANIFESTO 9 MAY 2021 At watershed moments in history, communities need to adapt their institutions to avoid sliding into irreversible decline, thus equipping themselves to govern new circumstances. After the end of the Cold War the European Union, with the creation of the monetary Union, took a first crucial step towards adapting its institutions; but it was unable to agree on a true fiscal and social policy for the Euro. Later, the Lisbon Treaty strengthened the legislative role of the European Parliament, but again failed to create a strong economic and political union in order to complete the Euro. Resulting from that, the EU was not equipped to react effectively to the first major challenges and crises of the XXI century: the financial crash of 2008, the migration flows of 2015- 2016, the rise of national populism, and the 2016 Brexit referendum. This failure also resulted in a strengthening of the role of national governments — as shown, for example, by the current excessive concentration of power within the European Council, whose actions are blocked by opposing national vetoes —, and in the EU’s chronic inability to develop a common foreign policy capable of promoting Europe’s common strategic interests. Now, however, the tune has changed. In the face of an unprecedented public health crisis and the corresponding collapse of its economies, Europe has reacted with unity and resolve, indicating the way forward for the future of European integration: it laid the foundations by starting with an unprecedented common vaccination strategy, for a “Europe of Health”, and unveiled a recovery plan which will be financed by shared borrowing and repaid by revenue from new EU taxes levied on the digital and financial giants and on polluting industries.

Question for Written Answer
Question for written answer E-000444/2021 to the Commission Rule 138 Alessandra Moretti (S&D), Brando Benifei (S&D), Pietro Bartolo (S&D), Pierfrancesco Majorino (S&D), Giuseppe Ferrandino (S&D), Andrea Cozzolino (S&D), Irene Tinagli (S&D), Elisabetta Gualmini (S&D), Simona Bonafè (S&D), Pina Picierno (S&D), Paolo De Castro (S&D), Patrizia Toia (S&D), Giuliano Pisapia (S&D), Franco Roberti (S&D), Caterina Chinnici (S&D), Massimiliano Smeriglio (S&D) Subject: Delays to the EU vaccination campaign The Commission is in charge of making arrangements on behalf of all the Member States with the pharmaceutical firms manufacturing COVID-19 vaccines, with the aim of ensuring distribution to everyone in the EU is rapid, efficient and fair. In recent weeks Pfizer and AstraZeneca, two of the pharmaceutical firms the furthest ahead at present in the manufacture of effective proven vaccines, announced that they would be obliged to reduce supplies for various reasons. This news has caused bewilderment among EU citizens, who have already endured months of this pandemic that has caused thousands of deaths and enormous damage to the EU’s social and economic fabric. In this context: 1. In the agreements concluded by the Commission, what terms and conditions apply to the supply of the vaccines, and what dissuasive measures and sanctions were included to protect citizens’ rights and the interests of the EU? 2. What measures will the Commission deploy to ensure that these delays are not repeated in the future, including in the event that vaccines from other pharmaceutical firms come onto the market? 3.

Letter to Ursula Von Der Leyen, Margaritis Schinas And
President Ursula Von der Leyen Vice-President Margaritis Schinas Commissioner Ylva Johansson European Commission Rue de la Loi / Wetstraat 200 1049 1049 Brussels Belgium 25th March 2020, Dear President Von der Leyen, Dear Vice-President Schinas, Dear Commissioner Johansson, Over the past weeks, we have been witnessing a serious deterioration of fundamental rights and the rule of law that lead us to write to you today to call on you to act as the guardians of the Treaties to urgently investigate, monitor and act. We welcome in this regard recent statements of President Von der Leyen and Commissioner Johansson on the need to respect fundamental rights and the right to asylum, but these statements need to be translated into actions to ensure that the current deficiencies are addressed. First of all, we have serious concerns regarding the use of COVID 19 epidemic to justify denial of the right to seek international protection at our borders, detention of asylum-seekers and forced returns to situations of danger. As pointed by a group of UN human rights experts on March 16, 2020, “emergency declarations based on the COVID-19 outbreak should not be used as a basis to target particular groups, minorities, or individuals. It should not function as a cover for repressive action under the guise of protecting health”. We call on you to ensure that travel bans and restrictions on freedom of movement are not discriminatory nor have the effect of denying people the right to seek asylum or of violating the absolute ban on being returned to where they face persecution or torture.
