  • Proposal by Tobias
    International Conference, 23-25 April 2006, House of the Teacher, Volodymyrska 57, Kyiv / Ukraine „Chornobyl is a word we would all like to erase from our memory. It [opened] a Pandora's box of invisible enemies and nameless anxieties in people's minds, but which most of us probably now think of as safely relegated to the past. Yet there are two compelling reasons why this tragedy must not be forgotten. First, if we forget Chornobyl, we increase the risk of more such technological and environmental disasters in the future. Second, more than seven million of our fellow human beings do not have the luxury of forgetting. They are still suffering, every day, as a result of what happened 14 years ago. Indeed, the legacy of Chornobyl will be with us, and with our descendants, for generations to come." Kofi Annan, April 2000 On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Chornobyl nuclear disaster, the Heinrich Böll Stiftung (Berlin), Ecoclub (Rivne, Ukraine), The Greens/EFA in the European Parliament, the Nuclear Information and Resource Service (Washington, DC), the World Information Service on Energy (Amsterdam), IPPNW (Germany) and Bündnis 90/DIE GRÜNEN (Germany) are inviting independent scientists, environmentalists, non-governmental organizations and sustainable energy experts from all over the world for the international conference „Chornobyl + 20 – Remembrance for the Future“ to take place in Kyiv/Ukraine on April 23-25. The conference will focus on three areas: First, the ongoing catastrophe of Chornobyl and its continuing consequences, including the release of a new study which reviews and analyzes the recently published report of the IAEA and WHO; second, the continuing safety, economic, proliferation and other problems posed by nuclear power generally; and third, the development of a roadmap to a sustainable energy future.

  • Ska Keller (Franziska Maria ('Ska')Keller)
    Ska Keller (Franziska Maria ('Ska')Keller) Alemania, Member of the European Parliament Duración del mandato: July 14, 2009 - En funciones Nacimiento: Guben, Brandenburg, Germany, November 22, 1981 Partido político: Bündnis 90/Die Grünen Resumen The German Ska Keller, co-candidate of the Greens to the Presidency of the Commission in the EP 2014 elections has been MEP for the Greens since 2009. Her national party contributes with 14 deputies out of the 58 seats for the Greens. Her group was the fourth force in the EP after the 2009 elections. She is from East German and has studied in the Free University of Berlin and in Sabanci of Istanbul where she took Islamic, Turkish and Jewish Studies. With 32 years, she speaks six languages; besides German, her mother tongue, she speaks English, French, Spanish, Italian and Turkish. Her areas of expertise are Migration and Asylum policies, Common commercial policies, environmental protection standards, and relations with Turkey, which she has been dealing with in the parliamentary committee of Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs; the Commission of International Trade; and in the Delegation in the Mixed Parliamentary Commission EU-Turkey. One of her main worries is the rights of irregular migrants from outside the EU, which she studied in situ in the Spanish city of Ceuta, located in the African coast, in April 2014. Her trajectory in the Youth Section of Die Grünen coincided with the participation of the Greens in the German Federal Government under the leadership of Joschka Fischer. Between 2005 and 2007, before being elected in the seventh European legislature, she was the spokeswoman for the youth section of the European Green Party, the Federation of Young European Greens.

  • Parliamentary Assembly
    International Campaign for the Establishment of a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly Appeal for the establishment of a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly Appeal text • Signatories by country Statistics 15 April 2007 www.unpacampaign.org APPEAL FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A PARLIAMENTARY ASSEMBLY AT THE UNITED NATIONS Humanity faces the task of ensuring the survival and well being of future generations as well as the preservation of the natural foundations of life on Earth. We are covinced that in order to cope with major challenges such as social disparity, proliveration of weapons of mass destruction, the threat of terrorism or the endangerment of global ecosystems, all human beings must engage in collaborative efforts. To ensure international cooperation, secure the acceptance and to enhance the legitimacy of the United Nations and strengthen its capacity to act, people must be more effectively and directly included into the activities of the United Nations and its international organizations. They must be allowed to participate better in the UN’s activities. We therefore recommend a gradual implementation of democratic participation and representation on the global level. We conceive the establishment of a consultative Parliamentary Assembly at the United Nations as an indispensable step. Without making a change of the UN Charter necessary in the first step, a crucial link between the UN, the organizations of the UN system, the governments, national parliaments and civil society can be achieved through such an assembly. Such an assembly would not simply be a new institution; as the voice of citizens, the assembly would be the manifestation and vehicle of a changed consciousness and understanding of international politics.

  • Declaración Del Parlamento Europeo Sobre La Fibromialgia
    C 46 E/46 ES Diario Oficial de la Unión Europea 24.2.2010 Martes, 13 de enero de 2009 Fibromialgia P6_TA(2009)0014 Declaración del Parlamento Europeo sobre la fibromialgia (2010/C 46 E/07) El Parlamento Europeo, — Visto el artículo 116 de su Reglamento, A. Considerando que cerca de 14 millones de personas en la Unión Europea y entre el 1 y el 3 % de la población mundial total sufre de fibromialgia, un síndrome debilitante que causa dolores crónicos generalizados, B. Considerando que, aunque la Organización Mundial de la Salud reconoció la fibromialgia como enfer­ medad ya en 1992, esta patología no está incluida en el índice oficial de patologías en la UE, lo cual impide a los pacientes obtener un diagnóstico oficial, C. Considerando que las personas que sufren de fibromialgia acuden con más frecuencia al médico de cabe­ cera, son remitidos con mayor frecuencia a especialistas, reciben más certificados de baja por enfermedad y son hospitalizados con mayor frecuencia, lo que genera una carga económica considerable para la UE, D. Considerando que los pacientes de fibromialgia tienen que luchar por llevar una vida plena e indepen­ diente, a menos que tengan acceso a un tratamiento y un apoyo adecuados, 1. Pide al Consejo y a la Comisión que: — desarrollen una estrategia comunitaria sobre la fibromialgia con objeto de que esta patología sea recono­ cido como enfermedad; — contribuyan a la sensibilización sobre esta patología y faciliten el acceso a la información para profesio­ nales y pacientes, apoyando las campañas de la UE y nacionales de sensibilización; — alienten a los Estados miembros a mejorar el acceso al diagnóstico y al tratamiento; — promuevan la investigación sobre la fibromialgia mediante los programas de trabajo del Séptimo Programa Marco de Investigación y Desarrollo Tecnológico y futuros programas de investigación; — promuevan el desarrollo de programas para la recopilación de datos sobre la fibromialgia; 2.

  • The European Parliament
    The European Parliament Kristin Archick Specialist in European Affairs May 19, 2014 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RS21998 The European Parliament Summary Between May 22 and May 25, 2014, the 28 member states of the European Union (EU) will hold elections for the next European Parliament (EP). The Parliament is a key EU institution that represents the citizens of the EU. It works closely with the two other main EU bodies, the European Commission (the EU’s executive) and the Council of the European Union (also known as the Council of Ministers, on which the national governments of the EU’s 28 member states are represented). Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) serve five-year terms, and have been directly elected since 1979. The next EP will have 751 seats. Once limited to being a consultative assembly, the EP has accumulated more power over time. Experts assert that the EU’s latest effort at institutional reform—the Lisbon Treaty, which entered into force on December 1, 2009—has increased the relative power of the EP within the EU considerably. The EP now shares legislative power with the Council of Ministers in most policy areas, giving the EP the right to accept, amend, or reject the vast majority of EU laws (with some exceptions in areas such as tax matters or foreign policy). The Lisbon Treaty also gives the EP the power to decide on the allocation of the EU budget jointly with the Council, the right to approve or reject international agreements, and greater decision-making authority on trade-related issues.
