  • Mr Josep Borrell Vice-President of the European Commission High Representative of the Union for the CFSP Rue De La Loi 170 1000 Brussels
    Mr Josep Borrell Vice-President of the European Commission High Representative of the Union for the CFSP Rue de la Loi 170 1000 Brussels Brussels, 16th April 2021 Dear Mr. High Representative; Mr Vice-President of the Commission: A delegation from the illegitimate National Assembly of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which emerged from the electoral farce organised on 6th December 2020 by the regime of Nicolás Maduro, recently paid a visit to Brussels and was officially received by the institution you lead. According to a statement you made on behalf of the European Union on 6th December, this spurious process took place in the absence of electoral conditions that could have guaranteed its credibility, without any respect for political pluralism, and in an atmosphere of persecution and disqualification of democratic leaders whose legitimate rights were curtailed. Your statement concludes that such circumstances could not consider this process credible, inclusive, and transparent and therefore the results did not represent the will of the Venezuelan people. That initial statement was confirmed on 6 January of this year by a new declaration, in similar terms to those expressed on 6 December, and by the conclusions of the Foreign Affairs Council of 25 January. These reiterated the lack of recognition of the electoral process and regretted the behaviour of the authorities of the Maduro regime, whose actions are preventing a solution to the serious crisis in Venezuela. We were surprised and gravely concerned to learn that on 14th April, at your request, senior officials of the European External Action Service received the aforementioned delegation, comprising Iris Varela, Pedro Carreño and Desirée Santos Amaral, at the EEAS headquarters.

  • Time for the European Commission to Legislate on Collective Redress
    Mr Jean-Claude Juncker President of the Commission Mrs Vera Jourová Commissioner The Consumer Voice in Europe European Commission Rue de la Loi 200 B – 1049 Brussels Ref.: BEUC-X-2017-107 10 October 2017 Subject: Time for the European Commission to legislate on collective redress Dear President Juncker, Dear Commissioner Jourová, I write on behalf of BEUC, The European Consumer Organisation, to ask you to propose a binding legislative measure on collective redress. Consumer rights at EU level have come a long way over the last 20 years. However, the inability of consumers to band together to claim their rights when they have suffered detriment is one of the missing pieces of the jigsaw for EU consumers to access justice. As you are aware, Volkswagen has steadfastly refused to compensate consumers in Europe affected by the emissions scandal. This is in stark contrast to their response in the United States, where the threat of class action has proved decisive in delivering compensation for affected consumers. In your State of the Union speech a few days ago, you said that you are “shocked when consumers are knowingly and deliberately misled” and that you “call on the car industry to come clean and make it right”. We know that despite Commissioner Jourova’s efforts, which we appreciate, the company still refuses to put things right. Since the scandal broke over two years ago, VW remains adamant it will not compensate European car owners. It is now in your hands to decide whether in the future European consumers who have been victims of fraud on a large scale, or who have suffered from a trader’s unfair or illegal practices, should have a realistic chance to be compensated.

  • Financial Crimes, Tax Evasion and Tax Avoidance’
    Investment Migration Council (IMC) Position Paper on TAX3 Committee Report ‘Financial Crimes, Tax Evasion and Tax Avoidance’ March 2019 Investment Migration Council (IMC) cautions MEPs against phasing out industry responsible for vital investments Key Ask: IMC calls on MEPs to table a plenary amendment to the TAX3 Committee report supporting better industry standards and regulation and removing references to phasing out the citizenship and residency-by-investment industry The IMC recognise the significance of the European Parliament’s TAX3 Committee report ‘Financial Crimes, Tax Evasion and Tax Avoidance’ in promoting discussion around the Investment Migration sector. Open discussion and scrutiny are the first steps in addressing the public concerns about Investment Migration and improving standards across the board to ensure the risks of abuse are mitigated. However, the IMC opposes the TAX3 Committee’s call for the Investment Migration sector to be phased out since these programmes are responsible for vital investments in EU Member States. The IMC calls on MEPs to table and support a plenary amendment (refer to IMC Proposed Amendments to TAX3 Committee Report.pdf) deleting direct references to banning or phasing out citizenship-by- investment and residency-by-investment programmes, essentially pioneering categories of immigration and instead supporting the implementation of improved standards and possible regulation of the sector. Investment Migration Council, 16 rue Maunoir, 1211 Geneva, Switzerland 1 investmentmigration.org European Commission Joint Transparency Register Secretariat ID: 337639131420-09 Investment Migration is a €20 billion industry responsible for significant investment, job creation and societal development Investment Migration accounts for billions of direct and indirect revenues in some smaller European states, as noted by the International Monetary Fund in its 2015 publication “A Passport of Convenience” as well as individual annual Country Reports.
