  • 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].

  • Power Ranking of Meps in the Agricultural Committee of the European Parliament
    Who has the critical vote? Power ranking of MEPs in the Agricultural Committee of the European Parliament A. Kovacs¹; I. Fertő²; L. Kóczy²; B. Sziklai²; A.A. Nás² 1: Tec de Monterrey, Department of International Business, Mexico, 2: Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Economics, Hungary Corresponding author email: [email protected] Abstract: We analyze the voting power of the members of the agricultural committee of the European Parliament using a spatial Banzhaf power index. Using a novel dataset of roll-call votes in the current EP-term, we identify critical members whose votes are necessary to form winning coalitions. We found that committee members with formal positions, EP group coordinators as well as German, French, Italian and British members are powerful actors. Nevertheless, rapporteurs are not necessarily influential. We also concluded that members with moderate ideological position but from Member States with extreme agricultural importance are the most powerful ones.

They long to know what the decision-makers are thinking, so they can plan ahead. They yearn to be in the loop, to have the drop on things. It is the genius of the lobbyists and the consultants to understand this need, and to satisfy it in the most imaginative way. Business forums are vehicles for forging links and maintain a dialogue with business, industrial and trade organisations. They allow the discussions of general and pre-legislative issues in a different context from lobbying contacts about specific matters. They provide an opportunity to get Members of the European Parliament and other decision-makers from the European institutions together with various business sectors.

  • Cartographic Pattern Recognition Based on Semantic Modelling of Geographic Phenomena
    Characterising urban space from topographic databases: Cartographic pattern recognition based on semantic modelling of geographic phenomena Dissertation zur Erlangung der naturwissenschaftlichen Doktorwürde (Dr. sc. nat.) vorgelegt der Mathematisch-naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Universität Zürich von Patrick Lüscher von Muhen AG Promotionskomitee Prof. Dr. Robert Weibel (Vorsitz) Prof. Dr. Dirk Burghardt Prof. Dr. Werner Kuhn Zürich, 2011 Summary National Map Agencies and other data producers capture large volumes of topographic data at high detail. As these topographic databases were designed for a broad range of applications, they model geographic reality in terms of single objects such as houses, streets, and lawns. However, many applications require specific higher order geographic phenomena that are not available in these general purpose databases, such as the extent of a city centre. Hence methods are needed to abstract these higher order geographic phenomena from the detailed representations of topographic databases. The ambition of this research is to automate abstractions from the detailed concepts offered by topographic datasets to produce higher order geographic phenomena by means of cartographic pattern recognition. Up to now, cartographic pattern recognition was mainly employed for optimising visual appearance. It can be argued, however, that it is primarily a task of modelling geographical content. The rationale of this research is to develop and evaluate an approach to cartographic pattern recognition that explicitly models semantic assumptions behind higher order geographic phenomena. With respect to this overall rationale, the research pursues the following three objectives: 1) Methods for knowledge acquisition to inform cartographic pattern recognition shall be explored; 2) instruments to model knowledge and compile the data enrichment process from semantically rich descriptions shall be developed; and 3) the role of uncertainty in the proposed approach shall be investigated.

    Deutscher Bundestag Drucksache 15/1251 15. Wahlperiode 24. 06. 2003 Kleine Anfrage der Abgeordneten Thomas Dörflinger, Peter Weiß (Emmendingen), Conny Mayer (Baiersbronn), Dr. Wolfgang Schäuble, Dirk Fischer (Hamburg), Eduard Oswald, Georg Brunnhuber, Dr. Klaus W. Lippold (Offenbach), Renate Blank, Hubert Deittert, Enak Ferlemann, Dr. Michael Fuchs, Peter Götz, Klaus Hofbauer, Volker Kauder, Norbert Königshofen, Werner Kuhn (Zingst), Eduard Lintner, Klaus Minkel, Gero Storjohann, Volkmar Uwe Vogel, Gerhard Wächter und der Fraktion der CDU/CSU Planungen der Bahngesellschaften Deutschlands, Frankreichs und der Schweiz in der „Trinationalen Plattform Basiliensis“ In ihrem im Februar 2003 vorgelegten Memorandum „Trinationale Plattform Basiliensis“ haben die Bahngesellschaften Frankreichs (SNCF/RFF), Deutsch- lands (Deutsche Bahn AG – DB AG) und der Schweiz (SBB) ihre gemeinsame strategische Gesamtplanung für den Zeitraum 2003 bis 2030 zur Schieneninfra- strukturentwicklung im Bereich Basel zusammengefasst. Hintergrund der Planungen der Bahngesellschaften ist die durch die Studie „Verkehrsführung im Raum Basel“ vom Juni 2002 getroffene Prognose, dass die bestehenden Schie- nenwege im Raum Basel einem zu erwartenden Zuwachs des Bahnverkehrs in den kommenden Jahrzehnten nicht mehr gewachsen sind. Kernstück der „Best- variante“ der Studie „Verkehrsführung im Raum Basel“, die in der trinationalen „Plattform Basiliensis“ dargestellt wird und für die die Bahngesellschaften be- reits eine Planungsstudie in Auftrag gegeben haben, ist deshalb die Schaffung alternativer Strecken für den Güterverkehr unter Umgehung des Bereiches Ba- sel SBB entlang des Ober- und Hochrheines auf deutscher Seite. Im Zuge des so genannten Bypasses sollen Güterzüge zwischen Frankreich und der Schweiz über die Strecken Mulhouse–Neuenburg–Müllheim (Baden) und Straßburg– Kehl–Appenweier auf die deutsche Rheinseite überführt werden, um dann in Richtung Lötschberg über den Rangierbahnhof Muttenz bzw.
