  • 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.

    Policy update CMU Policy Update October – November HIGHLIGHTS • European Commission publishes new CMU Communication to emphasise need for progress • European Commission publishes prospectus Delegated Regulation • European Parliament adopts its position on crowdfunding, prepares to decide on SME listings European Commission Commission publishes Work Programme for 2019, including CMU priorities 23 October The European Commission has published its Work Programme 2019. It sets out in detail the Commission s main legislative priorities for the next 12 months to come, and consists of new initiatives as well as prioritisation of initiatives that are currently on the table. As the current Commission enters its final year, the Programme focuses on delivery with only a limited number of actual new priorities. On CMU, the Commission announces its objective to conclude, notably, the files on PEPP, insolvency, ESAs reform, crowdfunding, and the SME listings proposals. The Commission s new CMU Communication, published later in November, provides even more detail on the CMU priorities (see article below). Commission publishes new CMU Communication to accelerate progress 28 November The European Commission has published a new CMU Communication accompanied by an Annex. They provide a comprehensive list of all CMU legislative proposals and their current state of play. The main message? Commission says that its job is done, having already launched most of the promised 30+ CMU actions. It argues that it is now up to the European Parliament and the Council to deliver, speed up their work and finalise the files. 1 The Communication is especially useful in demonstrating which CMU files the Commission sees as particularly problematic.

Een mooi moment om terug te blikken en conclusies te trekken. In juni 2009 vonden de verkiezingen voor het Europees Parlement plaats en werden 25 Nederlandse Europarlementariërs gekozen om de komende vijf jaar plaats te nemen in het Parlement. Het Instituut voor Publiek en Politiek (IPP)1 beschikt over data van de hoofdelijke stemmingen van de Nederlandse parlementsleden en hierdoor ligt de mogelijkheid vrij om deze gegevens te analyseren. Door deze informatie te interpreteren kan er onderzoek gedaan worden naar het stemgedrag van de Nederlandse parlementariërs. In 2009 is namens het IPP al onderzoek gedaan naar het stemgedrag van de Nederlandse Europarlementariërs in de periode oktober 2007 tot en met september 2008. Belangrijke conclusies van dat onderzoek waren: • Het stemgedrag van Europarlementariërs is vooral te verklaren vanuit een links/rechts ideologie en niet vanuit nationale belangen. In slechts 9,5% van de gevallen stemmen alle Nederlandse Europarlementariërs hetzelfde. • Het gemeenschappelijk stemgedrag binnen de delegaties ligt veel hoger. De cohesie binnen de verschillende politieke partijen ligt tussen de 0,94 en 0,99, waarbij 1 maximale cohesie is.

  • Ms Mairead Mcguinness European Commissioner for Financial Services, Financial Stability and the Capital Markets Union Mr
    TO: Ms Mairead McGuinness European Commissioner for Financial Services, Financial Stability and the Capital Markets Union Mr Valdis Dombrovskis European Commission Executive Vice-President for An Economy that Works for People CC: Mr Frans Timmermans European Commission Executive Vice-President for the European Green Deal Ms Kadri Simson European Commissioner for Energy Brussels, 13 April 2021 Dear Executive Vice-President Dombrovskis, Dear Commissioner McGuinness, We are convinced that the Taxonomy Regulation is crucial for the European Union to achieve both the new greenhouse gas emissions reduction target for 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050. Additionally, the Regulation should help strengthening the European Union’s strategic resilience and global economic competitiveness, maintaining its energy security and affordability, boosting growth and job creation and supporting a just and inclusive energy transition that leaves nobody behind. However, to what extent the Taxonomy Regulation will ultimately meet these expectations depends primarily on the technical screening criteria (TSC) defined in the Delegated Act on climate change mitigation and adaptation. We understand the European Commission will publish it later this month, whereupon the European Parliament may make full use of its scrutinizing prerogatives under Article 290 TFEU. In advance of its publication, we would like to share with you some of our major concerns regarding the revised draft version of this delegated act. Firstly, it is indispensable that the Taxonomy Regulation takes into account transition at the energy system level and supports the most cost-efficient decarbonisation pathway for each Member State in line with the principle of technology neutrality. In this context, it is key to acknowledge the role of gaseous fuels.
