Information Package WORKSHOP ON INTERRELATIONS AND MUTUAL REINFORCING SYNERGIES BETWEEN EE AND RES CONCEPT The goal of the workshop is to create a common understanding regarding the complex interplay and possible synergies between the EE and RES potentials in the contest of a transition towards a low carbon economy, integrating the latest expertise on the matter. On that basis, EU-ASE will be able to define a common and argument-based narrative and subsequently assess strategic partnerships with RES organisations at EU and national level, in a view of setting up a strong and unified coalition of stakeholders willing to push for decarbonization agenda. The workshop should provide inputs on the following questions: (i) State of play: what is the relation between EE and RES? How do they interact? (ii) Are there trade-offs between EE and RES? (iii) How would combined and mutually reinforced policies impact on the EU long term objective to decarbonise the economy?

  • Multi-Level Lobbying in the EU
    FNI Report 10/2012 Multi-level lobbying in the EU: The case of the Renewables Directive and the German energy industry Inga Margrete Ydersbond Multi-level lobbying in the EU: The case of the Renewables Directive and the German energy industry Inga Margrete Ydersbond [email protected] September 2012 Copyright © Fridtjof Nansen Institute 2012 Title Multi-level lobbying in the EU: The case of the Renewables Directive and the German energy industry Publication Type and Number Pages FNI-rapport 10/2012 109 Authors ISBN Ydersbond, Inga Margrete 978-82-7613-652-4 (online version) ISSN 1893-5486 Abstract This study examines the lobbying strategies employed by the interest organizations of Germany’s energy industries in the process leading up to the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive. How did they lobby, and what does this reveal about their perceptions of power relations in the EU? This report focuses on the most controversial part of the Directive: legal prescriptions for support mechanisms to increase the production of renewable energy in Europe. The utilities and the renewables industries disagreed deeply, with the utilities industry favouring an EU-wide green certificate scheme, while the renewables industry pressed for national feed-in tariffs. Nine interest organizations representing these sectors, five German and four at the EU level, serve as cases in this study. Expectations as to lobbying behaviour based on the two theories/theory perspectives of liberal intergovernmentalism (LI) and multi- level governance (MLG) are formulated and tested in a most-likely case design. Result: observations are better described by the MLG perspective than by LI.

  • The Permanent Downfall of Luxembourg's
    Luxembourg: The permanent downfall of Luxembourg’s dominant party? patrick dumont, raphaël kies and dan schmit the context The 2019 European Parliament (EP) elections were held only a few months after the October 2018 parliamentary elections. Surveys for the latter elections had predic- ted that the Christian Social People’s Party (CSV) would win votes and return to go- vernment after being an opposition party during 2013-2018, the second time sin- ce World War II. In the end, the CSV lost 5.2 percentage points, of the national vote, compared to 2013, and two of its parliamentary seats. The government coalition of the liberal DP, the social democratic LSAP and the Greens kept a majority of seats (thirty-one out of sixty) and stayed in power. In the previous European elections in 2014, the parties of the newly formed go- verning coalition had lost votes, while the CSV obtained its best result in any Euro- pean election. Two main reasons were identified to explain these results. First, a sub- stantial proportion of the electorate considered that the coalition parties had by-pas- sed the largest party CSV when forming a government, which was considered un- fair. This was due to the fact that, unlike all EP elections since 1979, the 2014 ones did not coincide with the national elections in Luxembourg: a governmental crisis in October 2013 had led to the first early elections in Luxembourg since the 1960s and the DP, LSAP and Greens had the numbers to unseat the usual and incumbent senior government party. Possibly unconvinced by the first months of this unusual coalition, a number of voters had chosen to punish the coalition parties in the 2014 EP election.

  • Download PDF of the Green Recovery Manifesto
    GREENRECOVERY REBOOT & REBOOST our economies for a sustainable future Call for mobilisation The coronavirus crisis is shaking the whole world, with devastating consequences across Europe. We are being put to the test. We are suffering and mourning our losses, and this crisis is testing the limits of our system. It is also a test of our great European solidarity and of our institutions, which acted fast at the start of the crisis to deploy measures to protect us. The crisis is still ongoing, but we will see the light at the end of the tunnel, and by fighting together, we will beat the virus. Never have we faced such a challenging situation in peacetime. The fight against the pandemic is our top priority and everything that is needed to stop it and eradicate the virus must be done. We welcome and strongly support all the actions developed by governments, EU institutions, local authorities, scientists, medical staff, volunteers, citizens and economic actors. In this tremendously difficult situation, we are also facing another crisis: a shock to our economy tougher than the 2008 crisis. The major shock to the economy and workers created by the pandemic calls for a strong coordinated economic response. We therefore welcome the declaration of European leaders stating that they will do “whatever it takes” to tackle the social and economic consequences of this crisis. However, what worked for the 2008 financial crisis may not be sufficient to overcome this one. The economic recovery will only come with massive investments to protect and create jobs and to support all the companies, regions and sectors that have suffered from the economy coming to a sudden halt.

Abstract Built upon a methodological assumption that conventional theory of democracy and party politics after some modifications can be applied to analysing the EU politics, this article offers a case study of the European Green Party (EGP) by focusing on its three aspects—political programme, organisational structure and political participation. As the main conclusion, the author argues that the EGP has evolved into a Euro-party by the end of the EP’s fifth term in terms of certain standards, yet its roles as a system-maker for the EU’s democratic transformation are still very limited.
