  • Europa Stärken Heißt Deutschland Stärken! Deutschland Heißt Stärken Europa
    Europa stärken heißt Deutschland stärken! Deutschland heißt stärken Europa 1 2 Europa stärken heißt Deutschland stärken Die europäische Politik steht heute mehr denn je im Zentrum des öffentlichen Interesses in Deutschland. Die großen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit – die kriegeri- schen Konflikte in unseren Nachbarregionen, die Migra- tionsbewegungen und der Kampf gegen Islamismus und Terrorismus – lassen sich nicht mehr national lösen. Nur gemeinsam mit unseren europäischen Partnern können wir tragfähige Lösungen erarbeiten und die Errungenschaften der europäischen Einigung – Frieden, Freiheit, Sicherheit und wirtschaftlicher Wohlstand – erhalten. Das Auftreten populistischer, europafeindlicher Parteien und der von Großbritannien angestrebte Austritt aus der EU dürfen nicht darüber hinwegtäuschen, dass die überwältigende Mehrheit der Deutschen wie der Euro- päer von der Notwendigkeit der europäischen Einigung überzeugt ist. Dieses Vertrauen gilt es durch sachge- rechte politische Lösungen auf allen Ebenen zu stärken. Wir arbeiten daher nachhaltig für sichere EU-Außen- grenzen, eine dauerhafte Reduktion der Migrations- ströme nach Europa, eine stabile europäische Währung, solide Staatshaushalte, einen funktionierenden Binnen- markt, Wirtschaftswachstum und Arbeitsplätze, innere und äußere Sicherheit sowie die Bewahrung der Schöp- fung. All dies können wir nur gemeinsam mit unseren europäischen Partnern erreichen und dauerhaft sichern, im Interesse Deutschlands und Europas! Diese Broschüre bietet Ihnen einen Überblick über die Arbeit und

Je tiens à prendre position par rapport à ces sujets. 1. Protection de la biodiversité Je vous remercie de vos suggestions concernant le développement de la stratégie de l'UE en faveur de la biodiversité, que j'intégrerai volontiers dans mon travail.

Je partagerai vos suggestions également avec mon collègue Norbert Lins, qui est chargé de cette question au sein du groupe CDU/CSU au Parlement européen et qui suivra de près l'évolution de la stratégie de l'UE en faveur de la biodiversité mentionnée ci-dessus.

  • The Future of European Solidarity”
    Results of the 3rd Round of European HomeParliaments by Pulse of Europe: “The future of European solidarity” Status: 04.01.2021 Dear participants, dear politicians, Thanks to the support of EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and 30 ded- icated EU politicians, Pulse of Europe succeeded during this round of Euro- pean HomeParliaments in imple- menting innovations for the partic- ipation of citizens in EU politics. Pulse of Europe provides the first pan-European, scalable grassroots project for the participation of Euro- peans in EU policy decisions. It works both offline in a private environment and now also online via our Video HomeParliaments. Our mission is to create a per- manent, bottom-up format for engaging with EU policymakers. For the first time, late 2020 people from Ger- many, Austria, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Portugal, Spain, Bulgaria and France exchanged their expectations for the EU. In addition, numer- ous cross-border HomeParliaments con- tributed to a transnational European dialogue. About 700 Europeans participated in local HomeParliaments. Another 500 discussed the future of European solidarity via the new Video HomeParliaments. As in the first two rounds of the European HomeParliaments, the participants of the privately organized discussion rounds were enthusiastic about the constructive exchange, the mutual understanding and the insights gained from the structured Click on the picture to see the video discussions about the future of European solidarity.
