  • European Commission
    EUROPEAN COMMISSION MEMO Brussels, 17 December 2013 European Parliament committee backs Commission proposal to protect euro from counterfeiting A key European Parliament committee has today backed a European Commission proposal to better protect the euro from counterfeiting through the use of criminal law measures (IP/13/88). The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) voted by 46 in favour, with 2 abstentions to support the Commission's proposal and enter negotiations with the Member States in the Council. The proposal aims to crack down on criminals who counterfeit euro notes and coins – a crime estimated to have cost at least €500 million over the past decade. New measures would include strengthening cross-border investigations and introducing minimum rules on penalties, including imprisonment, for the most serious counterfeiting offences. The draft law would also enable the analysis of seized forgeries during judicial proceedings in order to detect further counterfeit euros in circulation. "The euro is our common currency. If we don't take action to protect it, nobody else will," said Vice-President Viviane Reding, the EU's Justice Commissioner. "I am grateful to the European Parliament and to its rapporteur, Anthea McIntyre, for their support for the Commission’s proposal. This is solid work upon which we can build. I do regret however that the European Parliament did not agree on introducing minimum sanctions for the most serious offences. This would have been an additional deterrent for crimes against our common currency and it was supported by the European Central Bank. Mario Draghi knows what is good for the euro." "We will continue working closely with the European Parliament and Ministers in the Council to build on today's important vote and get the law adopted swiftly so we can close regulatory loopholes and put a stop to currency counterfeiting across the European Union," Vice-President Reding added.

  • On the Distinctiveness of Party Families
    On the Distinctiveness of Party Families Martin El E-mail: [email protected] Fachbereich Politik- und Verwaltungswissenscha Postbox D¥ Universitätsstraße Ôý Þ¥ Þ Konstanz Germany Prepared for delivery at the ÞÔth Annual Conference of the Midwest Political Science Association, Palmer House Hilton, Chicago, Illinois, April ÔÔ-Ô¥, òýÔç Abstract e concept of party families has been a useful tool for the comparison and analysis of party systems in European democracies. Central to the concept is that parties maintain an identity as member in one of the “familles spirituelles” due to their heritage from the great ideological movements of the ÔÀth and early òýth century. It is oen presumed that in a post-ideological age, party families may become obsolete. But whether this empirically is the case remains an open question. is paper examines the political distinctiveness of party families in European politics aer ÔÀ¥ . Using a novel approach at analyzing party manifesto data it overcomes the restrictions imposed on the such analysis by the assumption of one or two ideological “super- issue” dimensions. As a consequence it is possible to establish the distinction e.g. between party families such as the christian democrats and the conservatives, which oen are lumped together into a single category of “center-right” parties. Ô Ô Introduction Party families are a common notion used to describe party competition in Europe, a notion that is one of the “standard items” on the comparative politics of Europe and on party politics (see e.g. Newton and van Deth òýý ; Mény and Knapp ÔÀÀ; Bale òýý; Gallagher et al.

  • Hungarian Politics In-Depth an Anti-European Campaign in The
    Hungarian Politics In-Depth July 2013 An anti-European campaign in the making Fidesz has made no secret of its growing dislike of the European Union and especially its representatives. Viviane Reding is only the most recent high profile target in a long series of attacks on the EU and some of its leading politicians. Fidesz needs certain faces to attach to its anti-Europeanism at a time when the invocation of nebulous international forces attacking Hungary is emerging as key mobilising notion for the 2014 campaign. It's probably not a good idea to get on Fidesz's wrong side when Hungary's governing is in campaign mode. Even at its most relaxed, Fidesz's propaganda machinery is not known for its subtlety and finesse, but with an election pending it's more like a swarm of sharks with a scent. To said sharks, European Commissioner for Justice Viviane Reding must seem like a tasty appetiser en route to the main course due next spring. Why her, why now? Reding has angered the Hungarian right with her repeatedly expressed concerns over Fidesz's handling of constitutional amendments, especially in the context of the massive fourth amendment (discussed in detail in our March edition). In an unusually sharp rebuke for an EU official, Reding told the Austrian daily Der Standard that "[t]he state of law is not to be trifled with. A constitution is not a toy that one can change every few months." Reding is of course only the latest among a series of Fidesz's critics at the European level, and actually by far from the harshest.

  • Political Competition and Social Media: Can Facebook Change The
    Running head: POLITICAL COMPETITION AND SOCIAL MEDIA Political Competition and Social Media: Can Facebook Change the Status Quo of Finnish Politics? Aleksi Suuronen UNIVERSITY OF TAMPERE Faculty of Social Sciences Master’s thesis in Public Choice March 2018 DESCRIPTION Political competition and social media: Title of the master’s thesis Can Facebook change the status quo of Finnish politics? Author Aleksi Suuronen Supervisor Professor Katri K. Sieberg Time of Completion March 2018 Place of Completion University of Tampere, Faculty of Social Sciences Pages: 102 Pages of appendices: 3 ABSTRACT The rise of multiple social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter have sparked a debate within political sciences on the degree to which these new platforms influence the overall political system. For some, the expected impact is assumed to diversify the number of people who wield and influence political power, while for others the impact concentrates and solidifies power to those who could be considered as political elites. The purpose of this thesis is thus to investigate the underlying assumptions surrounding this debate and to construct a theoretical understanding of how social media can influence political power relations. The research conducted in this area has thus far mainly focused on studying Twitter and not many studies exist that have examined Facebook. Moreover, considerable gaps exist within the Finnish context, and no studies exist there that have explicitly examined what direct political gains social media platforms are able to give to its users. This thesis aims to fill these gaps by adopting a case study strategy on the 2015 parliamentary elections held in Finland by using quantitative techniques to estimate the impact that Facebook has had on the electoral performance of those candidates who have chosen to use it in their campaign.
