Question for written answer E-001265/2020 to the Commission Rule 138 Marco Dreosto (ID), Anna Bonfrisco (ID), Marco Campomenosi (ID), Massimo Casanova (ID), Rosanna Conte (ID), Gianna Gancia (ID), Alessandro Panza (ID), Annalisa Tardino (ID), Lucia Vuolo (ID), Elena Lizzi (ID), Mara Bizzotto (ID), Simona Baldassarre (ID) Subject: European commitment to projects to exploit water reserves The problem of drought is affecting ever wider areas of EU territory, including some that do not normally suffer from it, partly because of climate change and increased use of water for civil and industrial purposes. To prevent local shortages, projects have been launched in various EU Member States to reuse disused quarries which, once suitably waterproofed, can be converted into reservoirs for rainwater and surplus water from nearby rivers when they are in flood. The reserves created in this way at times of heavy precipitation are then available for use during subsequent dry times. R&D as a basis for such schemes is encouraged, inter alia, by the EU Institutions, as they can significantly boost employment and facilitate the remediation and upgrading of sites which in many cases have been polluted and abandoned, but could be converted for civil and productive use. In the light of this, could the Commission answer the following question? Does the European Union intend to recognise the importance of remediation of these areas for the purpose of storing water, providing an incentive for, and making into a priority, measures supported by investment of structural funding for the environment and agriculture with a view to the construction and modernisation of water engineering works?

Priority Question for Written Answer
Priority question for written answer P-001210/2020 to the Vice-President of the Commission / High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Rule 138 Marco Zanni (ID), Marco Campomenosi (ID), Rosanna Conte (ID), Gianantonio Da Re (ID), Simona Baldassarre (ID), Alessandro Panza (ID), Lucia Vuolo (ID), Luisa Regimenti (ID), Alessandra Basso (ID), Danilo Oscar Lancini (ID), Valentino Grant (ID) Subject: Turkey’s decision not to stop Syrian refugees entering the EU According to the latest reports from the local media, Turkey has decided to stop preventing Syrian refugees from entering Europe, thereby breaching the agreement on the ‘EU Facility for Refugees in Turkey’. Local TV stations are already showing dozen-strong groups of refugees starting to cross the border with Greece on foot. Turkey’s decision would seem to have been triggered by the death of at least 33 Turkish soldiers in an aerial bombardment by Syrian government forces in the province of Idlib. Since, following Turkey's decision to effectively open the border, people are already on the way to Greece, and as Turkey has already received from the EU the EUR 6 billion earmarked for refugee management projects from now until 2025, in addition to around EUR 9 billion from IPA funds since 2007, can the High Representative indicate: 1. What urgent measures are being planned to avert a fresh humanitarian disaster in the EU and prevent an escalation of the conflict in Syria? 2. Whether, in the discussions on the MFF and in EIB policies, a decision will finally

Facebook Ads: Politics of Migration in Italy
Facebook Ads: Politics of Migration in Italy Arthur Capozzi?, Gianmarco De Francisci Morales, Yelena Mejova, Corrado Monti, Andr´ePanisson, and Daniela Paolotti ISI Foundation, Turin, Italy, isi.it Abstract. Targeted online advertising is on the forefront of political communication, allowing hyper-local advertising campaigns around elec- tions and issues. In this study, we employ a new resource for political ad monitoring { Facebook Ads Library { to examine advertising concerning the issue of immigration in Italy. A crucial topic in Italian politics, it has recently been a focus of several populist movements, some of which have adopted social media as a powerful tool for voter engagement. Indeed, we ﬁnd evidence of targeting by the parties both in terms of geography and demographics (age and gender). For instance, Five Star Movement reaches a younger audience when advertising about immigration, while other parties' ads have a more male audience when advertising on this issue. We also notice a marked rise in advertising volume around elec- tions, as well as a shift to more general audience. Thus, we illustrate political advertising targeting that likely has an impact on public opin- ion on a topic involving potentially vulnerable populations, and urge the research community to include online advertising in the monitoring of public discourse. Keywords: Targeted advertising · Social media · Politics · Immigration 1 Introduction According to the International Organization for Migration, almost 130k migrants have arrived in Europe in 2019.1 Global migration is a systemic challenge for Europe [18], and for Italy in particular being on the Mediterranean route [12]. Therefore, it is not surprising that migration is a central issue in European and Italian politics [1].

Question for Written Answer
Question for written answer E-000989/2021 to the Commission Rule 138 Paolo Borchia (ID), Marco Campomenosi (ID), Matteo Adinolfi (ID), Simona Baldassarre (ID), Alessandra Basso (ID), Mara Bizzotto (ID), Susanna Ceccardi (ID), Valentino Grant (ID), Rosanna Conte (ID), Marco Dreosto (ID), Alessandro Panza (ID), Massimo Casanova (ID), Danilo Oscar Lancini (ID), Angelo Ciocca (ID), Elena Lizzi (ID), Annalisa Tardino (ID), Antonio Maria Rinaldi (ID), Silvia Sardone (ID), Luisa Regimenti (ID), Isabella Tovaglieri (ID), Lucia Vuolo (ID), Stefania Zambelli (ID), Francesca Donato (ID) Subject: Further restrictions on the free movement of commercial vehicles in transit through Austria and Germany The Commission communication of 19 January 2021 recognises that the protection of the internal market and its smooth functioning are the cornerstone of the European response to the pandemic; it therefore rejects the hypothetical correlation between free movement and the spread of the virus and specifies that any mobility restrictions decided on by national governments should be ‘proportionate and non-discriminatory’, in keeping with the Council Recommendation of October 2020. However, on 15 February 2021 some new restrictions on the transit of commercial vehicles through Austria and Germany entered into force, with the requirement to produce a negative swab test carried out within 48 hours of arrival at the border. The new provisions have led to serious traffic disruptions, including the immediate formation of tailbacks at the Brenner Pass. Those measures, moreover, come on top of the pre-existing restrictions to the movement of heavy goods vehicles adopted through Tyrol by-law No 81/2019, the compatibility of which with EU law is already being considered by the Commission.

Question for Written Answer
Question for written answer E-002467/2021 to the Commission Rule 138 Isabella Tovaglieri (ID), Antonio Maria Rinaldi (ID), Alessandro Panza (ID), Silvia Sardone (ID), Stefania Zambelli (ID), Matteo Adinolfi (ID), Elena Lizzi (ID), Simona Baldassarre (ID), Marco Dreosto (ID) Subject: Protection of classical culture on which Europe is based Over the past few days, a US university has decided to close its Department of Classical Studies1 because such studies are said to be ‘non-inclusive’ and ‘racist’. Similar initiatives, aimed at censorship and prejudice-based closures with regard to certain historical and cultural aspects of the past, seem to be increasingly widespread in other universities, too. This is dangerously restricting the freedom of expression of students, lecturers and researchers, and, above all, the opportunity for students to receive a comprehensive and open education. Classical studies form the basis of European culture and Europe’s very identity, as well as being the main vehicle for cardinal concepts in Europe, such as republic, democracy, citizenship, rights and law. To arbitrarily restrict those studies would mean attacking Europe’s cultural heritage, which also underpins much of our identity and our economy. In view of this, can the Commission say: whether it is monitoring the issue and whether it is possible to continue to fund and support universities which, rather than promote culture, are censoring it – behaviour that would cause huge damage to countries such as Italy and Greece; what its opinion is on these attacks on classical studies, and what stance it intends to take amid such intolerance; what tools it can put in place to encourage classical studies and the protection of our cultural heritage?

To the Attention of Ms Margrethe Vestager Executive Vice-President Ms Mariya Gabriel Commissioner for Innovation and Research European Commission
Gianna Gancia Member of the European Parliament To the attention of Ms Margrethe Vestager Executive Vice-President Ms Mariya Gabriel Commissioner for Innovation and Research European Commission Bruxelles, 24 April 2020 Object: 2020 World Intellectual Property Rights Day Dear Commissioner Vestager, Dear Commissioner Gabriel, We would like to use the occasion of the World Intellectual Property Rights Day to stress the importance of safeguarding intellectual property rights. Now as ever, we need to unleash the European innovation spirit. The World Intellectual Property Rights Day is an excellent occasion for us all to reflect on how far our civilization has moved because of innovation. Innovative breakthroughs are the only true method to help humanity to overcome challenges without having to reduce the standard of living of everyday people. Therefore, we recommend the following: First, it is important that the EU updates and maintains a world-class approval system of medicines that transparently communicates to patients and the public which drugs are available on the market and which will be available in the future. Second, safeguarding intellectual property rights within the European Union and globally through the EU’s trade policy. Strong IP rights are necessary in order to foster innovation in Europe and allow for much needed scientific breakthroughs to take place, in order to cure diseases we still struggle to cure. Third, a digital health infrastructure as part of the Digital Single Market that allows interoperability among eHealth systems and does not stifle the use of necessary data for medical research. It is paramount for the European Union and its Member States to provide a policy framework that fosters innovation as much as possible.
