DIE THEMEN SEITE - Eskalation in der Ukraine 2 - CO2-Emissionen neuer PKW 2 - Einsatz bewaffneter Drohnen 3 - Tabakerzeugnisse 3 - Eisenbahnsicherheit 4 - Beziehungen EU-Schweiz 4 - Jugendgarantie 4 - Abkommen EU-Türkei 5 - Europäischer Haftbefehl und Ermittlungsanordnung 6 - Hilfsfonds für Menschen in Armut 6 II. PRESSETERMINE - Pressefrühstück der Europagruppe GRÜNE 8 - Pressebriefing der Ko-Vorsitzenden der Fraktion Die Grünen/EFA 8 1 I. Die Themen Eskalation in der Ukraine Erklärung der Hohen Vertreterin für Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik, Catherine Ashton mit Resolution Debatte am Mittwoch, 26. Februar Abstimmung am Donnerstag, 27. Februar +++ Kontakt: Rebecca Harms MdEP, Telefon 0032-228-45695 +++ Hintergrund: Nach der Eskalation in der Ukraine und dem Zustandekommen einer Einigung am Freitag, werden die Mitglieder des Europäischen Parlaments über die Situation in der Ukraine in Anwesenheit der EU-Außenkommissarin Catherine Ashton beraten. Dabei wird es auch um die Frage von Sanktionen und den Einsatz einer ständigen Beobachtermission gehen. Grüne Position: Die Fraktionsvorsitzende Rebecca Harms wird als Mitglied einer ad-hoc Delegation in die Ukraine zu Verhandlungen vor Ort am Wochenende aufbrechen. In den Verhandlungen zur Ukraine werden die Grünen weiterhin fordern, gleichermaßen Druck auf Kiew und Moskau auszuüben. Die Europäische Union muss konzentriert handeln und gezielte Sanktionen gegen den ukrainischen Präsidenten Viktor Janukowitsch und weitere Regierungsmitglieder verhängen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CO2-Emissionen neuer PKW Bericht Thomas Ulmer (EVP, Deutschland) „Ziel für 2020 zur Verringerung der CO2-Emissionen neuer Personenkraftwagen“ ordentliche Gesetzgebung, 1. Lesung Debatte am Montag, 24. Februar Abstimmung am Dienstag, 25. Februar +++ Kontakt: Rebecca Harms MdEP, Telefon 0032-228-45695 +++ Hintergrund: Die Regulierung für CO2-Grenzwerte für PKW von 2008 setzt einen Grenzwert von 130 Gramm CO2/km für 2015 fest und sieht ein 95-Gramm-Ziel für 2020 vor. Letzteres muss allerdings durch die vorliegende Revision bestätigt werden. Der Kommissionsvorschlag ließ kaum Abweichungen von diesem Ziel zu. Der Umweltausschuss hingegen weitete die Möglichkeiten, emissionsarme Fahrzeuge mehrfach anzurechnen (Superkredite) aus und setzte einen Zielkorridor für 2025 von 68-78 Gramm. Das Parlament einigte sich mit dem Rat auf eingeschränkte Superkredite. Vom Zielkorridor für 2025 blieb lediglich die Zusage über, die Verordnung 2015 erneut zu überarbeiten und dafür zu sorgen, dass vergleichbare Emissionsminderungen auch nach 2020 fortgesetzt werden. Anschließend erzwang die Bundesregierung eine weitere Abschwächung. So können 2020 die schmutzigsten 5% der Neuwagenflotte vom Ziel ausgenommen werden und die Verwendung der Superkredite wurde flexibilisiert. Grüne Position: Viele Hersteller haben seit Inkrafttreten der Regulierung bewiesen, dass sie in der Lage sind, den Spritverbrauch ihrer Fahrzeuge deutlich abzusenken. So haben einige Hersteller den Grenzwert für 2015 längst erreicht - ganz ohne Rechentricks durch Superkredite. Das Verhandlungsergebnis schöpft diese Möglichkeiten nicht aus und schadet damit dem Klima, den Verbrauchern und nicht zuletzt der Zukunftsfähigkeit der heimischen Automobilindustrie. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 Einsatz bewaffneter Drohnen Aussprache mit Europäischer Kommission und Rat mit Resolution Debatte am Mittwoch, 26. Februar Abstimmung am Donnerstag, 27. Februar +++ Kontakt: Barbara Lochbihler MdEP, Telefon 0032 228-45392 +++ Hintergrund: Seit Jahren wird die Entwicklung von Komponenten für Drohnen aus dem EU- Programm zur Sicherheitsforschung finanziert. Im November 2013 gründeten sieben EU-Staaten, darunter Deutschland, einen Drohnen-Club und beschlossen, gemeinsam Drohnen zu entwickeln. Die Europäische Verteidigungsagentur soll dieses Vorhaben tatkräftig unterstützen. Die Schaffung eines europäischen Drohnenprogramms wurde im Europäischen Parlament von Konservativen, Sozialdemokraten und Liberalen pro-aktiv gefördert. Grüne Position: Angesichts dieser politischen Mehrheit hat die Grüne Fraktion die Frage des Völkerrechts und der Menschenrechte beim Einsatz von Drohnen ins Zentrum gestellt. Auch die Debatte samt Resolution zum rechtlichen Rahmen für den Einsatz von bewaffneten Drohnen ist eine Grüne Initiative. Die Grünen Kernforderungen diesbezüglich sind: Keine Nutzung von Drohnen durch EU-Mitgliedstaaten für außergerichtliche und extra-territoriale Tötungen; keine Hilfe für andere Staaten, die dies planen; die sofortige und umfassende Einbeziehung von bewaffneten Drohnen in alle relevanten europäischen und internationalen Exportkontrollregime; die Ächtung von Forschung, Entwicklung und Beschaffung von voll-automatischen Systemen, die ohne menschliche Entscheidungsgewalt töten können; und die schnelle Erarbeitung und Entscheidung über eine rechtsverbindliche Gemeinsame EU-Position zum Einsatz bewaffneter Drohnen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabakerzeugnisse Bericht Linda McAvan (S&D, Großbritannien) „Herstellung, Aufmachung und Verkauf von Tabakerzeugnissen und verwandten Erzeugnissen“ ordentliche Gesetzgebung, 1. Lesung Debatte und Abstimmung am Mittwoch, 26. Februar +++ Kontakt: Rebecca Harms MdEP, Telefon 0032-228-45695 +++ Hintergrund: Tabak verursacht jährlich 700.000 frühzeitige Todesfälle in der EU. 70 % der Raucher beginnen, bevor sie 18 sind. Ziel des Kommissionsvorschlags war es deshalb, den Anreiz bei jungen Menschen zum Einstieg zu verringern. Das Parlament wollte viele Vorgaben der Kommission deutlich abschwächen. In den Trilogverhandlungen zwischen Kommission, Rat und Parlament näherte man sich dem Kommissionsvorschlag wieder an, blieb jedoch insgesamt hinter dessen Vorgaben zurück. Warnhinweise in Bild und Schrift sollen in Zukunft 65% der Verpackung bedecken. Charakterisierende Aromen werden verboten - Menthol bleibt allerdings vier Jahre davon ausgenommen. Sehr gebräuchliche und problematische Zusatzstoffe müssen besonders untersucht werden. Grüne Position: Das Verhandlungsergebnis ist zwar schwächer als der Kommissionsvorschlag oder die Forderung der Grünen, stellt aber dennoch eine deutliche Verbesserung der aktuellen Situation dar. Die Grünen werden ihn daher unterstützen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 Eisenbahnsicherheit Bericht Michael Cramer (Grüne/EFA, Deutschland) „Bericht über den Vorschlag für eine Richtlinie des Europäischen Parlaments und des Rates über die Eisenbahnsicherheit (Neufassung)“ ordentliche Gesetzgebung, 1. Lesung Debatte am Dienstag, 25. Februar Abstimmung am Mittwoch, 26. Februar +++ Michael Cramer MdEP, Telefon 0032-228- 45779 +++ Hintergrund: Die Eisenbahn ist nicht nur das umweltfreundlichste, sondern auch das sicherste Verkehrsmittel in der EU. Jedoch behindern – anders als im Straßenverkehr - zeitraubende und kostenträchtige nationale Verfahren einen sicheren und effizienten Betrieb über Grenzen. Die Europäische Kommission hat deshalb die Schaffung eines europäischen Sicherheitszertifikats vorgeschlagen. Diesen Vorschlag stützt und verbessert der vom grünen Berichterstatter Michael Cramer ausgehandelte Kompromisstext. Grüne Position: Die Grünen unterstützen den Vorschlag der EU-Kommission ausdrücklich, denn die Einführung eines europäischen Sicherheitszertifikats wird die Sicherheit auf der Schiene weiter erhöhen, unnötige Kosten vermeiden und Zeit sparen. Redundante oder widersprüchliche Vorschriften müssen unter der Koordination der Europäischen Eisenbahnagentur (ERA) zusammengeführt und modernisiert werden. Das heutige Wirrwarr muss durch eine effiziente Zusammenarbeit aufgelöst werden, wobei die ERA im Konfliktfall das letzte Wort haben soll. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beziehungen EU-Schweiz Aussprache mit Europäischer Kommission und Rat Debatte am Mittwoch, 26. Februar +++ Kontakt: Rebecca Harms MdEP, Telefon 0032-228-45695 +++ +++ Kontakt: Ska Keller MdEP, Telefon 0032-228-45379 +++ Hintergrund: Nach dem Schweizer Referendum zur Beschränkung der Zuwanderung von EU- Bürgerinnen und Bürgern steht die Beziehung zwischen der Schweiz und der EU insgesamt auf dem Spiel. Denn das Abkommen zur Freizügigkeit ist Teil eines Gesamtpakets, das der Schweiz Zugang zum europäischen Wirtschaftsraum gibt. Es ist durch eine sogenannte Guillotine-Klausel abgesichert und das gesamte Paket stünde zur Disposition, sollte die Schweiz das Abkommen zur Freizügigkeit kündigen. Die EU-Kommission hat bereits Verhandlungen mit der Schweiz zum Studentenaustausch und zur Forschungsförderung auf Eis gelegt. Grüne Position: Die Freizügigkeit ist eine Grundlage für das Funktionieren der Europäischen Union und es gilt auch für assoziierte Länder wie die Schweiz. Es ist klar, dass die Europäische Union das Recht auf Freizügigkeit als Teil des Zugangs zum EU Binnenmarkt verteidigen muss. Genauso ist es richtig, dass die EU nun Konsequenzen aus dem Referendum zieht, die in der Aussprache im Europäischen Parlament diskutiert werden. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jugendgarantie Aussprache mit Europäischer Kommission und Rat Debatte am Mittwoch, 26. Februar 4 +++ Kontakt: Elisabeth Schroedter MdEP, Telefon 0032-228-45234 +++ Hintergrund: Im Dezember 2012 hatte die

  • 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].

  • Brussels, to the Attention of Members of the European Parliament Who
    CATHERINE ASHTQN ANDRIS PIEBALGS HIGH REPRESENTATIVE MEMBER OF THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION VICE PRESIDENT OF THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION DEVELOPMENT Brussels, A(2013)3540142-3819594 To the attention of Members of the European Parliament who signed the letter of 20 November Dear Colleagues, Thank you for your letter of 20 November addressed to both of us as well as to Commissioners Georgieva and De Gucht concerning land acquisitions in Colombia. Land issues axe obviously one of the key dimensions of the decade-old internal conflict in Colombia and therefore deserve close attention on the part of the EU. This is the reason why the EU has been devoting considerable financial resources to funding projects aimed at helping displaced people, at facilitating their return and reintegration and at supporting people at risk in the framework of the land restitution process. Moreover, the EU is also directly contributing to the implementation of the law on victims and land restitution through a project funded in the framework of the instrument for stability. At political level, the issues related to the implementation of the law are also discussed regularly in the framework of the various dialogue fora between the EU and Colombia, including the EU-Coiombia Dialogue on Human Rights. The EU is also engaged in exchanges with the Colombian authorities about mining and natural resources, which have an obvious relation with land use and occupation issues. The EU is hopeful that the current negotiations between the FARC and the Colombian authorities should, if they are successful, contribute to reducing tensions about land in Colombia. We have also been informed that the Colombian institute for Rural Development (INCODER), in charge of the formalisation of land titles, has launched a number of enquiries into a number of cases of alleged undue accumulation of agricultural family units (IJAF), including in the region to which your correspondence refers.

They long to know what the decision-makers are thinking, so they can plan ahead. They yearn to be in the loop, to have the drop on things. It is the genius of the lobbyists and the consultants to understand this need, and to satisfy it in the most imaginative way. Business forums are vehicles for forging links and maintain a dialogue with business, industrial and trade organisations. They allow the discussions of general and pre-legislative issues in a different context from lobbying contacts about specific matters. They provide an opportunity to get Members of the European Parliament and other decision-makers from the European institutions together with various business sectors.

  • Letter Mr Rajoy Final.Pdf
    Brussels, 22nd of September 2017 Mr. Mariano Rajoy Brey, President of the Government of Spain As elected Members of the European Parliament, we would like to express our deep concern regarding the situation in Catalonia, which has reached a critical point. The repressive actions and threats carried out by the Spanish authorities, mainly the Spanish police, against civil servants, MPS, mayors, media, companies and citizens during these last few days are not only a violation of basic fundamental rights but a wrong approach to handle a political question. We are aware that 14 high-ranking government officials have been arrested by the Guardia Civil, and 5 Ministries of the Catalan Government have been raided, de facto Catalonia lives under an undeclared état de siege that goes against the EU Treaties and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. These actions are unacceptable and we demand you to backtrack immediately. The separation of powers is the cornerstone of any democratic society and the use of judiciary and legal action to deal with a matter of a political nature is a mistake and an abuse and misuse of power. Politicians, not judges or police forces, should primarily deal with political disagreements in any European democratic country. The debates in the Catalan Parliament to call a referendum on independence that has a wide support from the Catalan population cannot lead to a court case being brought by the Spanish government against its President and bureau. Thus, these breaches of freedom of expression and freedom of assembly are not acceptable in the European Union democratic standards, so it is our duty, as Members of the European Parliament, representing European citizens, to condemn these disproportionate reactions from the Spanish authorities to the political legitimate claim of Catalan society for a self-determination referendum.

  • Declaration Unfinished Justice: Restitution and Remembrance (Following European Conference on Restorative Justice Brussels, 26Th April 2017)
    26th June 2017 Declaration Unfinished Justice: Restitution and Remembrance (Following European Conference on Restorative Justice Brussels, 26th April 2017) Preamble It is now more than seventy years after the Holocaust (Shoah) in which six million Jews – seventy-five percent of the Jewish population of Europe – were murdered. Only a small fraction of private and communal immovable and movable property illegitimately seized from Jewish victims has been returned or compensated to rightful owners, heirs, or to the Jewish people at large. Many Holocaust survivors live in poverty and without adequate social care, and their social welfare needs are expanding rapidly as they age. In light of the above We, members of the European Parliament, affirm the moral responsibility of European Union member states to advance Holocaust-era property restitution. We also declare our enduring commitment to the provision of adequate and immediate social welfare support for Holocaust survivors, the demarcation, protection and preservation of Jewish cemeteries, mass graves and other burial sites, the preservation of Jewish heritage sites, and the promotion of Holocaust education, research and remembrance. We recognize the commitment of the European Parliament to restitution of Holocaust-era assets as called for in previous resolutions of the Parliament and reaffirm past international principles and declarations that reflect a consensus for the restitution of Holocaust-era assets. Considering the urgency of the matter We call upon Member States of the European Union to reaffirm their commitment to resolve remaining issues on restitution and compensation of looted property, in accordance with the principles of the Terezin Declaration on Holocaust Era Assets and Related Issues, and to address the growing social welfare needs of Holocaust survivors.
