The German Bundestag notes: A strong European Union (EU) built on solidarity which protects its citizens and our livelihoods is the best investment we can make in our future. Our aim is an EU that also and especially proves its worth during these difficult times of the corona pandemic, that fosters democracy, prosperity, equality and health and that resolutely tackles the challenge of the century that is climate protection. We need an EU that bolsters international cooperation on the world stage and does not abandon the weakest on this earth. proofread This requires an EU capable of taking effective action both internally and externally, it requires greater solidarity on our continent and beyond - because no country can effectively combat the climate crisis on its own, no country can stamp out the pandemic on its own.

Eine Entwaldung des Gebiets könnte laut dem Potsdam-Institut für Klimafolgenforschung einer der Kipppunkte für das Eintreten einer neuen „Heißzeit“ sein (www.tagesschau.de/inland/heisszeit-pik-101.html). Das Ziel der Erhaltung des Amazonas-Regenwalds muss daher nach Ansicht der Frage- steller auch deutsches Regierungshandeln bestimmen. Der Amazonienfonds für Wald- und Klimaschutz wurde im Jahr 2008 von der brasilianischen Regierung gegründet und wird von der Brasilianischen Ent- wicklungsbank für Wirtschafts- und Sozialentwicklung (BNDES) verwaltet. Der Amazonienfonds hat eine Reduktion der Entwaldung in Brasilien zum Ziel und wird maßgeblich von internationalen Geldgebern getragen. Norwegen ist mit 1,212 Mrd. US-Dollar der größte Geber. Die Bundesrepublik Deutschland trug über die KfW-Entwicklungsbank (KfW = Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau) bislang mit 55 Mio. Euro zum Amazonienfonds bei. Im Auftrag des Bundesmi- nisteriums für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung berät die Ge- sellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH die Beschäftigten des Amazonienfonds der brasilianischen Entwicklungsbank BNDES sowie dezent- ral weitere mögliche Antragstellende, Durchführungsorganisationen und die di- rekt von den Projekten Begünstigten (www.giz.de/de/weltweit/12550.html).

  • Germany's Foreign Policy: France Wears the Breaches?!
    Date submitted: 24-06-2016 Master Thesis GERMANY’S FOREIGN POLICY: FRANCE WEARS THE BREACHES?! Supervisor: Dr. G.C. van der Kamp- Alons Second Reader: Dr. T. Eimer Author: Anne Brockherde S4396774 University: Radboud University Nijmegen Study: Political Science (MSc) Specialisation: International Relations PREFACE The process to the final version of this thesis was one with a lot of obstacles - like every student who finished his master studies with the creation of the thesis will probably claim. The process in thinking, in understanding, in being capable to see the events around us in a different context and from several perspectives, is one, which needs a lot of effort. Adaptation of the way of thinking is one of the most difficult adaptations the mind needs to go through. Next to the development concerning critical thinking and gaining the knowledge which is necessary to follow and participate in the highly valuable discussions of the lessons, private developments arise. Not only the question, where I would like to go after my studies, but first of all the question, what specific goals I have in life, kept my mind busy. These factors and also external influences on the process of writing my thesis made me consider an internship in the area of International Relations before finishing the thesis. The choice to do an internship at the Asser Institute in The Hague was one of the best of my young career. I got to know the most important international and national organisations, and it left me with not only a lot of knowledge and a big network, but also with friends.

  • Uef-Spinelli Group
    UEF-SPINELLI GROUP MANIFESTO 9 MAY 2021 At watershed moments in history, communities need to adapt their institutions to avoid sliding into irreversible decline, thus equipping themselves to govern new circumstances. After the end of the Cold War the European Union, with the creation of the monetary Union, took a first crucial step towards adapting its institutions; but it was unable to agree on a true fiscal and social policy for the Euro. Later, the Lisbon Treaty strengthened the legislative role of the European Parliament, but again failed to create a strong economic and political union in order to complete the Euro. Resulting from that, the EU was not equipped to react effectively to the first major challenges and crises of the XXI century: the financial crash of 2008, the migration flows of 2015- 2016, the rise of national populism, and the 2016 Brexit referendum. This failure also resulted in a strengthening of the role of national governments — as shown, for example, by the current excessive concentration of power within the European Council, whose actions are blocked by opposing national vetoes —, and in the EU’s chronic inability to develop a common foreign policy capable of promoting Europe’s common strategic interests. Now, however, the tune has changed. In the face of an unprecedented public health crisis and the corresponding collapse of its economies, Europe has reacted with unity and resolve, indicating the way forward for the future of European integration: it laid the foundations by starting with an unprecedented common vaccination strategy, for a “Europe of Health”, and unveiled a recovery plan which will be financed by shared borrowing and repaid by revenue from new EU taxes levied on the digital and financial giants and on polluting industries.

  • The Parliamentary Dimension of Germany's Presidency of The
    The Parliamentary Dimension of Germany’s Presidency of the Council of the EU Concluding document Over the past six months, the Bundestag and the Bundesrat, acting on the basis of their Work Programme of 18 June 2020 and of the Declaration made by the Parliaments of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Portuguese Republic and the Republic of Slovenia on 29 June 2020 on the preparation and running of the parliamentary dimension of the Trio Presidency of the Council of the European Union, have held a total of 12 events and conferences as well as other meetings in special formats with a view to advancing discussions on the main political tasks of the European Union with the European Parliament, the European Commission and the Presidency of the Council and enhancing cooperation between the various political levels in the Union. For the first time in the existence of Council Presidencies and their parliamentary monitoring, the entire programme of events had to be conducted in video format, because the COVID-19 pandemic made it impossible for direct personal encounters to take place among Members of Parliament and with others in positions of political responsibility. Thanks to the great interest shown in the events and the need for exchanges of views and information as well as discussion on the management of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic and social implications as well as on numerous other formidable challenges facing the EU, all of the events have contributed to the efforts to create a stronger Europe after the crisis, to increase the Union’s capacity to act as well as fostering closer cooperation among the parliaments of Europe at this extraordinary time.
