  • 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].

  • To the President of the European Commission Mrs. Ursula Von Der Leyen, Rue De La Loi / Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels
    To the President of the European Commission Mrs. Ursula von der Leyen, Rue de la Loi / Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels To the Executive Vice-President of the European Commission Mr. Vladis Dombrovskis Rue de la Loi / Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels Brussels, 22 October 2020, Subject: the EU must impose an import ban on Chinese companies using forced labour Dear President von der Leyen, Dear Vice-President Dombrovskis, For years, the Chinese regime has been detaining millions of human beings in camps, just because they were born Uyghurs. For years, Europe and the world have been witnessing a crime against humanity without opposing any resistance to it. In recent months, several studies have reported the use of Uyghur forced labour for the benefit of major European companies. Indeed, many Chinese factories, directly supplying EU brands exploit the Uyghurs and benefit from their forced labour. Facing this abjection, Europe must act to protect the lives and fundamental rights of Uyghurs. The EU should use its trade and market power to safeguards the founding principles enrichened in our Treaties and guiding our external policies. As the US did lately through an imports ban passed almost unanimously in the US House of Representatives, Europe urgently needs to establish a blacklist of Chinese companies implicated in Uyghur forced labour. We look forward to your response. Yours sincerely, 1. Raphaël Glucksmann, S&D 2. Dietmar Köster, S&D 3. Francisco Guerreiro, Greens 4. Sylvie Guillaume, S&D 5. Aurore Lalucq, S&D 6.

    Article 05-07-2017 - 10:24 Reference No: 20170627STO78427 Digitalisation and defence: Estonian MEPs discuss priorities upcoming presidency Estonia took over the rotating presidency of the Council of the EU on 1 July. All six Estonian MEPs share their views on the priorities and challenges. Estonian prime minister Jüri Ratas will present his country's priorities to MEPs during the plenary session in Strasbourg on Wednesday 5 July. Estonia has promised to focus on four priorities: an open an innovative economy, a safe and secure Europe, a digital Europe, and an inclusive and sustainable Europe. The six Estonian MEPs, who belong to four different political groups, agree that the priorities of their country's Council presidency will be creating a real digital single market and boosting European cooperation on defence and security. Tunne Kelam (EPP) Tunne Kelam said a successful presidency meant having to get 27 different governments to support agreements based on the EU's common interests. “This challenge will test the quality of Estonian officials and leading politicians,” he said. The priorities would be to create a common approach on security and defence policy, overcome countries' hesitations when it came to assessing Russia's aggression and work on the EU's eastern neighbourhood policy, Kelam said. He also said progress on the digital single market and the implementation of the common energy policy would be important. The MEP also underlined the need to cut red tape: “On the governmental level the presidency should create conditions for carrying out the European Commission’s deregulation programme that has to run in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity.
