  • Western Balkans in 2020: the Year of Action and Decisions
    WESTERN BALKANS IN 2020: THE YEAR OF ACTION AND DECISIONS Friday, 20 March 2020 10:00 - 15:00 , National Palace of Culture (Hall 8), Sofia, Bulgaria ABOUT THE EVENT 2020 will be pivotal for the enlargement and the engagement with the Western Balkans countries and their perspective within the European Union. European prosperity and security is closely linked to the integration process and the advancement of peace, democracy, respect for human rights and rule of law in the Western Balkans region and their future in a strong and reformed EU. The Western Balkans, racked by war and tragedies throughout the 1990s, has recently seen a surge of significant political, social and economic progress. Yet the need for reforms and transformation is still crucial. We should not forget the fact that after a long stretch of ethnic instability, the region needs an accelerated pace of reforms to help countries moving towards the EU. The new methodology proposed by the EU commission should reassess and inject new dynamism into the enlargement process and provide a new impetus for the transformation of accession countries. EVENT SCHEDULE Friday, 20 March 2020 09:30 Arrival of participants and registration 10:00 - 10:30 Opening remarks: Ilhan Kyuchyuk MEP, Vice President of ALDE Party Jurgen Martens MP, President of European Liberal Forum Mustafa Karadayi MP, Chairman of MRF 10:30 - 12:00 Getting it Right: Towards a positive decision with a renewed accession process? Chaired by Ilhan Kyuchyuk MEP, Vice President of ALDE Party H.E. Nikola Dimitrov, Minister of Foreign Affairs of North Macedonia H.E.

  • Mr Josep Borrell Fontelles HR / VP of the European Commission [email protected] [email protected]
    Mr Josep Borrell Fontelles HR / VP of the European Commission [email protected] [email protected] Brussels, 13 May 2020 Dear High Representative and Vice-President Borrell, Censorship of the joint Op-Ed marking the 45th anniversary of EU–China relations on May 6 in the China Daily With this letter we would like to express our concerns about the way in which the EEAS is engaging with its Chinese counterparts and dealing with diplomatic pressure from Chinese official authorities. During our last exchange of views in the AFET Committee on April 30, you firmly reassured the Members of the Parliament that the EU would never bow to pressure coming from Chinese channels to censor our publications. Regrettably, we must however conclude that one week later the EEAS did exactly do that by watering down a joint Op-Ed marking the 45th anniversary of EU–China relations. After pressure from Chinese authorities, the Op-Ed was published on the 6th of May in the China Daily without the reference to the origins of the coronavirus. You will agree with us, that it is most unfortunate that this happened just few days following the World Press Freedom Day on the 3rd of May. The EEAS press release on May 8 attempts to justify the decision to proceed with the censored publication on the ground of the necessity to reach out to the wider Chinese public by passing key messages on a number of priority areas. We certainly recognise the strategical importance of engaging with China and its people.

    Ramona-Victoria Strugariu European Parliament, WIB 05M047 1047, Brussels Brussels, 30th of April 2020 Dear Commissioner Breton, Dear Commissioner Gabriel, The Corona virus crisis is not only a medical, logistical and economic challenge, it is also a cultural challenge. As it was also underlined in the resolution of the European Parliament adopted on the 17th of April 2020 - EU coordinated action to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences, the cultural and creative sectors in the Member States have been hit especially hard due to the closure of cinemas, theatres and music venues and the sudden stop of ticket sales. The current crisis is particularly critical for cultural and creative sectors due to the sudden and massive loss of revenue opportunities. In the aforementioned resolution, the European Parliament has also pointed out that these sectors have high numbers of freelance and self- employed workers, many of whom were struggling well before the outbreak and that the effects are particularly dire for creative professionals, whose income streams have been unexpectedly reduced to zero and who now have little or no support from the social system. The current situation creates therefore a structural threat to the survival of many actors involved in cultural and creative production. And yet cultural actors have found creative ways to offer hope amid the COVID-19 crisis and showed their solidarity in very concrete ways. Many cultural institutions and actors have provided online and free content in recent weeks, aware of the fact that the availability of cultural contents contributes to the mental health and the general well-being of our populations, especially in times of crisis when citizens are confronted with the reality of disease and lockdowns.

Theoretical background of care farming at European level. Care farming, also known as “green care”, “social farming”, "farming for health", and "green therapies", has taken on various forms and is organised in different ways in different European countries. There is great variety in the approaches to social farming across Europe, as well as in how it is connected to other sectors and the funding mechanisms that are used. Care farming has taken on many different forms across Europe, broadly based around three different discourses; multifunctional agriculture, public health, and social inclusion. One could say that care farming is most established in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Italy. Most research in the Netherlands focuses on care farming as part of the agricultural sector and as a new source of farm income. Great importance is also placed on interaction between participants and the farmers and their families. Care farming took off commercially in the Netherlands in the 1990s. It tends to operate on a service-based model. Engaging in care farming activities are seen as a type of social or health service and these activities are paid for directly or indirectly through health insurance. Similarities with the Dutch experience of social farming can be observed in Flanders (Belgium) and Slovenia.
