    To the President of the European Commission Mrs. Ursula von der Leyen, Rue de la Loi / Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels To the Executive Vice-President of the European Commission Mr. Vladis Dombrovskis Rue de la Loi / Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels Brussels, 22 October 2020, Subject: the EU must impose an import ban on Chinese companies using forced labour Dear President von der Leyen, Dear Vice-President Dombrovskis, For years, the Chinese regime has been detaining millions of human beings in camps, just because they were born Uyghurs. For years, Europe and the world have been witnessing a crime against humanity without opposing any resistance to it. In recent months, several studies have reported the use of Uyghur forced labour for the benefit of major European companies. Indeed, many Chinese factories, directly supplying EU brands exploit the Uyghurs and benefit from their forced labour. Facing this abjection, Europe must act to protect the lives and fundamental rights of Uyghurs. The EU should use its trade and market power to safeguards the founding principles enrichened in our Treaties and guiding our external policies. As the US did lately through an imports ban passed almost unanimously in the US House of Representatives, Europe urgently needs to establish a blacklist of Chinese companies implicated in Uyghur forced labour. We look forward to your response. Yours sincerely, 1. Raphaël Glucksmann, S&D 2. Dietmar Köster, S&D 3. Francisco Guerreiro, Greens 4. Sylvie Guillaume, S&D 5. Aurore Lalucq, S&D 6.

    TO: Ms Mairead McGuinness European Commissioner for Financial Services, Financial Stability and the Capital Markets Union Mr Valdis Dombrovskis European Commission Executive Vice-President for An Economy that Works for People CC: Mr Frans Timmermans European Commission Executive Vice-President for the European Green Deal Ms Kadri Simson European Commissioner for Energy Brussels, 13 April 2021 Dear Executive Vice-President Dombrovskis, Dear Commissioner McGuinness, We are convinced that the Taxonomy Regulation is crucial for the European Union to achieve both the new greenhouse gas emissions reduction target for 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050. Additionally, the Regulation should help strengthening the European Union’s strategic resilience and global economic competitiveness, maintaining its energy security and affordability, boosting growth and job creation and supporting a just and inclusive energy transition that leaves nobody behind. However, to what extent the Taxonomy Regulation will ultimately meet these expectations depends primarily on the technical screening criteria (TSC) defined in the Delegated Act on climate change mitigation and adaptation. We understand the European Commission will publish it later this month, whereupon the European Parliament may make full use of its scrutinizing prerogatives under Article 290 TFEU. In advance of its publication, we would like to share with you some of our major concerns regarding the revised draft version of this delegated act. Firstly, it is indispensable that the Taxonomy Regulation takes into account transition at the energy system level and supports the most cost-efficient decarbonisation pathway for each Member State in line with the principle of technology neutrality. In this context, it is key to acknowledge the role of gaseous fuels.

    Par Elise Bernard et Marie Conort #ELLESFONTBOUGERLEUROPE SVENJA HAHN MEP #ELLESFONTBOUGERLEUROPE INTERVIEW EUROPANOVA Sous la direction du centre des études EuropaNova Janvier 2021 PERSPECTIVES #ELLESFONTBOUGERLEUROPE What has been your journey to reach the position you currently hold? And have you felt, during your career, that being a woman could be an obstacle, or at least have an influence on your career path? If so, how did you overcome it? I joined politics in my first year of university because I wanted to make a difference. Running and being elected for the student council and working for a change in my and fellow students lives, the spark for politics grew into a bright flame. I discovered my passion for European politics. For six years since 2020 I spent all my free time working on liberalizing Europe in the board of the European Liberal Youth, the last two years as President. The umbrella youth organisation to national liberal youth movements and the youth of both the ALDE party and the Renew Europe Group in the European Parliament offered me the opportunity to visit more than 30 countries in that time. The opportunity to meet so many different young people and learn about their hopes and challenges. Fighting for fair opportunities for everyone no matter their background drove me. In 2019 I left my professional career as a public relations manager when being elected to the European Parliament. In my first days in the Parliament I often have been mistaken for my own assistant. In my professional and political career I learnt that young women are often underestimated.

  • Brussels, 27 March 2017 Dear Mr. Dijsselbloem, Earlier This Week We
    Brussels, 27 March 2017 Dear Mr. Dijsselbloem, Earlier this week we have known the statements you have made to a communication media, which we consider unequivocally discriminatory and offensive against several EU countries as well as offensive and sexist towards women. Shortly after the publication of your statements, you had the opportunity to rectify at the European Parliament, but you avoided doing so. On the contrary, instead of apologizing, you have said that the problem is that we do not understand the direct style of speech known to Calvinist culture. In our opinion, Calvinist culture has nothing to do with disdain for other people. This is the reason why we are again asking you - as representatives of European citizens, who have chosen us directly - to reflect and to rectify. Your statements attack one of the most important values that underpin our European Union: equality. In the last six decades, we have all managed together, Mr Dijsselbloem, to materialize a dream that once seemed unthinkable: that Europeans should be equal in opportunities, rights and obligations. The EU is not just rules, meetings and political decisions. What supports all of this, what gives meaning to the EU, are our common values, and equality as the most important one. Therefore, respecting these values should be the first obligation for any European leader, Mr Dijsselbloem. This includes assuming that European citizens, like any human being, are all equally respectable, regardless of our gender and our country of origin or residence. Attacking a certain group of countries as you have done is attacking each one of the EU countries.

  • RBC-WG-Letter-To-Reynders-Final.Pdf
    26 May 2020 Follow up to Responsible Business Conduct Working Group webinar on due diligence Dear Commissioner Reynders, On behalf of the members of the Responsible Business Conduct Working Group, we would like to sincerely thank you for taking the time to present during our online event on 29 March 2020. We found your presentation extremely interesting and we greatly welcome your public commitment to introduce a legislative initiative next year on mandatory human rights and environmental due diligence for businesses. We agree with the assessment outlined in the European Commission Study on due diligence requirements through the supply chain1 that voluntary measures have proved to be totally insufficient to guarantee corporate responsibility to respect human rights and the environment. Indeed, as the study as well as other existing reports such as the Corporate Human Rights Benchmark2 outline, only few companies have a due diligence process in place that thoroughly embeds human rights and environmental considerations. Therefore, we agree that introducing mandatory human rights and environmental due diligence legislation is the most effective means among the options examined, in order to ensure that companies, and those who finance them, take actions to tackle human and labour rights abuses and environmental harm. As both you and MEPs raised during the event, the Covid-19 crisis has highlighted the precarious nature of global value chains; whilst the subsequent health, economic and social crises have reinforced the need to ensure their resilience and sustainability. To this end, the European Parliament has recently voted in its Resolution on EU coordinated action to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences: ‘that corporate human rights and environmental due diligence are necessary conditions in order to prevent and mitigate future crises and ensure sustainable value chains’3.
