  • Regional Alliances
    101-06c Advocacy plan: Regional Alliances Regional Alliances - Advocacy Strategy 2020-2022 Please note: this strategy is a living document and needs further elaboration and thought. It will also need to be updated based on political opportunities that arise in the upcoming months and years until the end of 2022. 1. Advocacy issue 1.1. Definition of the problem: what is the problem? What are the root causes? Who is affected? What are the implications? In a world filled with new threats and opportunities, the European Union, as an actor on the world stage, needs to consolidate relations with its closest partners. The EU is a power that seeks to safeguard its interests vis-à-vis other big players in international relations in full respect of international law and its own values. Ursula von der Leyen, presenting for the first time her College of Commissioners said “My Commission will be a geopolitical Commission committed to sustainable policies. And I want the European Union to be the guardian of multilateralism. Because we know that we are stronger by doing together what we cannot do alone". A significant change in the new EC set up is the replacement of the ‘Development’ Commissioner with a Commissioner for ‘International Partnerships’, and it is unclear whether this marks a linguistic or substantive change. The emphasis on ‘partnerships’ rather than ‘development’ potentially signals a shift away from traditional donor/recipient relations and in this context CONCORD (with its members) must influence the EC interpretation of “international partnership” making sure that it won’t be exclusively focused on business, trade, growth, investment relations but that instead it will prioritise the wellbeing of people and planet and the fight against inequalities, promoting clear commitments towards a fairer and more sustainable world.

    Political Group Coordinators in Parliamentary Committees Updated February 2017 Each political group in the European Parliament designates one of its MEPs to act as 'coordinator' on any particular Committee. The group coordinator is the main spokesperson for their group in the Committee, and also negotiates for the allocation of Rapporteurs. They assist Rapporteurs and Shadows in the drafting of voting recommendations and decide which substitutes can vote in the absence of full members. They also ensure that MEPs vote at critical times.

How citizens, cities and parliaments should cooperate for Europe” Citizens are the cause and goal of the European Union. However, those citizens, as well as the cities and regions they live in, represent not only the basis of Europe – they are also jointly responsible for the success of the European unification process. This panel discussion confronts the citizens with the top-down mechanisms of everyday life in Europe. It demands for new methods of sharing responsibility in order for the European unification process to succeed. The opening event will discuss statements of representatives from each level of political responsibility: Emil Boc (Mayor of Cluj-Napoca), Elmar Brok (MEP; President Union of European Federalists), Karl-Heinz Lambertz (President Committee of the Regions), Gerry Woop (State Secretary for European Affairs, City of Berlin), Juan Gabriel Vásquez (writer) The panel is moderated by Laura Kleiner, Carin Tiggeloven members of the initiative “Wir sind Europa!”
