Official Journal C327 ISSN 1725-2423 Official Journal C 327 of the European Union Volume 49 English edition Information and Notices 30 December 2006 Notice No Contents Page I Information EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT 2006/C 327/01 WRITTEN QUESTIONS WITH ANSWER List of titles of Written Questions by Members of the European Parliament indicating the number, original language, author, political group, institution addressed, date submitted and subject of the question .................................... 1 (See notice to readers) EN Price: 34 EUR Note to readers Written questions with answers tabled during the sixth parliamentary term are no longer available in all the official languages; the title only is translated into 19 languages (not Maltese). P and E questions are translated by Parliament into the 11 ‘old’ languages and into the author’s language if it is one of the 2004 enlargement languages. As regards answers to questions, the situation is more complicated: — Answers prepared by the Commission are supplied only in the author’s language and in either English or French, as requested; — The Council gives answers only in the 11 old Union languages. In the light of this situation, readers seeking details of the substance of questions and answers should go to Parliament’s website (Europarl) and, more specifically, the ‘Parliamentary questions’ heading: http://www. europarl.europa.eu/QP-WEB. Should the language version the reader is seeking not be available, Europarl will propose an alternative.

  • Horizontal Inequality in Chiapas – 25 Years After the Zapatista Movement
    Master’s Programme in Economic Growth, Development and Population Horizontal Inequality in Chiapas – 25 years after the Zapatista Movement by Juliane Koch [email protected] Abstract: The International Development Community places individuals at the center of concern for policy making. This study investigates why group analyses are crucial for the welfare of individual and social stability, and claims that the concept of Horizontal Inequality (group-based inequality) is important but widely neglected. The group of investigation is the indigenous population in Chiapas, Mexico’s poorest state. Since their initial protests in 1994, they demand more rights and a more equal society. The research at hand shows that little has changed since then as the indigenous population still lags behind in terms of socio- economic indicators. Apart from providing patterns over time, this study finds that the indigenous population in Chiapas is worse off than in other Mexican states. This demonstrates that the prevalence of high economic and social inequality patterns still hinder Chiapas’ indigenous population from improving their poor living standards. Thus, this thesis concludes with policy implications and a call for strengthening efforts on behalf of the Mexican government. Key words: horizontal inequality, indigenous population, poverty, chiapas EKHS21 Master’s Thesis (15 credits ECTS) 29-05-2019 Supervisor: Edoardo Altamura Examiner: Word Count: 15,971 Acknowledgements I am highly grateful to Frances Stewart and Alicia Puyana for their valuable advice and comments about the concept of this thesis and its methodology. Furthermore, I thank the National Council for Evaluation of Social Development Policy in Mexico for providing me with extensive datasets and clarifications.

  • Declaración Del Parlamento Europeo Sobre La Fibromialgia
    C 46 E/46 ES Diario Oficial de la Unión Europea 24.2.2010 Martes, 13 de enero de 2009 Fibromialgia P6_TA(2009)0014 Declaración del Parlamento Europeo sobre la fibromialgia (2010/C 46 E/07) El Parlamento Europeo, — Visto el artículo 116 de su Reglamento, A. Considerando que cerca de 14 millones de personas en la Unión Europea y entre el 1 y el 3 % de la población mundial total sufre de fibromialgia, un síndrome debilitante que causa dolores crónicos generalizados, B. Considerando que, aunque la Organización Mundial de la Salud reconoció la fibromialgia como enfer­ medad ya en 1992, esta patología no está incluida en el índice oficial de patologías en la UE, lo cual impide a los pacientes obtener un diagnóstico oficial, C. Considerando que las personas que sufren de fibromialgia acuden con más frecuencia al médico de cabe­ cera, son remitidos con mayor frecuencia a especialistas, reciben más certificados de baja por enfermedad y son hospitalizados con mayor frecuencia, lo que genera una carga económica considerable para la UE, D. Considerando que los pacientes de fibromialgia tienen que luchar por llevar una vida plena e indepen­ diente, a menos que tengan acceso a un tratamiento y un apoyo adecuados, 1. Pide al Consejo y a la Comisión que: — desarrollen una estrategia comunitaria sobre la fibromialgia con objeto de que esta patología sea recono­ cido como enfermedad; — contribuyan a la sensibilización sobre esta patología y faciliten el acceso a la información para profesio­ nales y pacientes, apoyando las campañas de la UE y nacionales de sensibilización; — alienten a los Estados miembros a mejorar el acceso al diagnóstico y al tratamiento; — promuevan la investigación sobre la fibromialgia mediante los programas de trabajo del Séptimo Programa Marco de Investigación y Desarrollo Tecnológico y futuros programas de investigación; — promuevan el desarrollo de programas para la recopilación de datos sobre la fibromialgia; 2.

  • S&D 2016/5 Pensioenen
    3 Redactioneel Progressief Zal er de komende jaren ooit iets van linkse samenwerking terecht komen? Erik Meijer breekt er in dit nummer van S&D (weer) een lans voor. En gelijk heeft hij. Want het is onthutsend om te zien dat er peilingen verschijnen waarin de linkse partijen samen ongeveer evenveel zetels halen als de PvdA nu in zijn eentje heeft — en dat iedereen dit ter kennisgeving aanneemt. De crisis op links is groter dan de schade van regeringsdeel- name. Veel zal afhangen van het mandaat dat de nieuwe lijsttrekker van de PvdA, zich toe-eigent. Programmatisch gezien zijn de marges op links makkelijk te overbruggen. De sfeer waarin Sanders over socialisme praat zoals Doeko Bosscher dat verderop in dit nummer beschrijft, is er een die men ook hier deelt — de ongelijkheid moet minder worden, niet meer. Maar GroenLinks is blij met een herwonnen eigen profiel en de SP wil wraak op, ja op wat eigenlijk? Dus van die kant is niet veel enthousiasme te verwachten. Een nieuwe lijsttrekker van de PvdA zal de eerste handreiking moeten doen. Bijvoorbeeld door de belofte bij deelname aan een nieuwe regering alleen uitgesproken linkse minis- ters te benoemen, die het pensioenstelsel democratiseren (zoals Paul de Beer verderop bepleit), de Europese interne markt zo te ordenen dat het sociaal beleid uit de verf komt (Ben Crum) en zich niet door rechtsstaat-vijandige referenda van de wijs laten brengen (Tom Eijsbouts). Het is een van de weinige manieren om de langzamerhand steeds meer op campagnes en steeds minder op maatschappelijke bewegingen rustende sociaal- democratie in contact met anderen te brengen.

  • Conflicting Rights, Environmental Agendas and the Challenges Of
    Chapter 5 Rights, Resources and the Politics of Accountability Conflicting rights, environmental agendas, and the challenges of accountability: social mobilisation and protected natural areas in Mexico Carlos Cortez and Luisa Paré 1 This chapter explores the contradictions between the agendas and accountability strategies of different social actors in two protected natural areas (PNAs) of rainforest in Southern Mexico. Different interests and perceptions over the actors’ rights are at the root of these contradictions, which undermine the construction of accountable practices around conservation and sustainable development strategies in PNAs. The two case studies are both situated in south-east Mexico: the Tuxtlas Biosphere Reserve in Veracruz, and the Montes Azules Integral Biosphere Reserve in Chiapas. These cases highlight questions about how to establish formal accountability mechanisms for defining development policies for environmental resources. Divergences over land rights and knowledge rights have resulted from historical power imbalances, institutional complexity, and the different political and economic interests of the actors involved. Conflicts over land rights centre on disputes about how land rights are guaranteed and how land is used. Conflicts over knowledge rights, on the other hand, have emerged from different views about ‘traditional’ or ‘indigenous’ knowledge, who has the right to knowledge about plants, medicine and other resources in the rainforest, and how these resources should be used. Given these conflicts over land and knowledge rights, and 1 Carlos Cortez and Luisa Paré are attached to Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Xochimilco (UAM-X) and Instituto de Investigaciones Sociales, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico (UNAM), respectively. the institutional and historical complexity that underlies them, this chapter explores the difficulties in building meaningful accountability.
