  • A Look at the New European Parliament Page 1 INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMITTEE (INTA)
    THE NEW EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT KEY COMMITTEE COMPOSITION 31 JULY 2019 INTRODUCTION After several marathon sessions, the European Council agreed on the line-up for the EU “top jobs” on 2 July 2019. The deal, which notably saw German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen (CDU, EPP) surprisingly designated as the next European Commission (EC) President, meant that the European Parliament (EP) could proceed with the election of its own leadership on 3 July. The EPP and Renew Europe (formerly ALDE) groups, in line with the agreement, did not present candidates for the EP President. As such, the vote pitted the S&D’s David-Maria Sassoli (IT) against two former Spitzenkandidaten – Ska Keller (DE) of the Greens and Jan Zahradil (CZ) of the ACRE/ECR, alongside placeholder candidate Sira Rego (ES) of GUE. Sassoli was elected President for the first half of the 2019 – 2024 mandate, while the EPP (presumably EPP Spitzenkandidat Manfred Weber) would take the reins from January 2022. The vote was largely seen as a formality and a demonstration of the three largest Groups’ capacity to govern. However, Zahradil received almost 100 votes (more than the total votes of the ECR group), and Keller received almost twice as many votes as there are Greens/EFA MEPs. This forced a second round in which Sassoli was narrowly elected with just 11 more than the necessary simple majority. Close to 12% of MEPs did not cast a ballot. MEPs also elected 14 Vice-Presidents (VPs): Mairead McGuinness (EPP, IE), Pedro Silva Pereira (S&D, PT), Rainer Wieland (EPP, DE), Katarina Barley (S&D, DE), Othmar Karas (EPP, AT), Ewa Kopacz (EPP, PL), Klara Dobrev (S&D, HU), Dita Charanzová (RE, CZ), Nicola Beer (RE, DE), Lívia Járóka (EPP, HU) and Heidi Hautala (Greens/EFA, FI) were elected in the first ballot, while Marcel Kolaja (Greens/EFA, CZ), Dimitrios Papadimoulis (GUE/NGL, EL) and Fabio Massimo Castaldo (NI, IT) needed the second round.

  • Ms Ursula Von Der Leyen, President of the European Commission European Commission Rue De La Loi/Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels
    Ms Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission European Commission Rue de la Loi/Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels Mr Charles Michel, President of the European Council European Commission Rue de la Loi/Wetstraat 175 1049 Brussels Brussels, 27 July 2020 Dear President von der Leyen, Dear President Michel, With this letter, we would like to draw your attention to the Polish government’s expressed intent to withdraw from the Istanbul Convention on fighting domestic violence. This latest development shows that we can never take women’s rights for granted. This is disrespectful, a clear violation of women’s rights and unacceptable. The signal the Polish government is sending is a highly troubling one in times that are already challenging for women. Women have been hit disproportionally hard by the Covid-19 crisis and face an increase in cases of domestic violence. The European Union is founded upon shared values that are enshrined in our Treaties, amongst them equality between men and women. We cannot regress on these core values stipulated in Article 2 TEU. We should never accept it when one of our Member States backtracks from equality. That is why we call on you, as the President of the European Commission, guardian of the treaties, and as the President of the European Council, to do everything within your power to discourage the Polish government from taking this misstep. Madam President, in your political guidelines, you made the commitment that the EU’s accession to the Istanbul Convention is a key priority for the Commission and that if the accession remains blocked in the Council, you would consider tabling proposals on minimum standards regarding the definition of certain types of violence, and strengthening the Victims’ Rights Directive.

  • Dear Madam/Sir, the Trialogue Negotiations of the Reform of the EU
    Dear Madam/Sir, The trialogue negotiations of the reform of the EU Common Agricultural Policy have started some time ago. MTK, the Union of the Finnish Farmers’ and Forest Owners, would like to highlight a few very important points in the CAP process for the Finnish agricultural sector. At first, we would like to express our support for the CAP-decisions made by the Council and the European Parliament. It is of utmost importance to recognize the difference between member states and the flexibility needed for implementation of the new ambitious agricultural policy. Only with the flexibility, we can reach the objectives of the EU’s ambitious climate and environment policies. As a precondition for the successful new CAP is that the budget for the next MFF and the recovery package is confirmed as soon as possible. The funding for the CAP should be sufficient and cover the new environmental and climate work the farmers are committing to. Finland currently has strong agri-environmental measures in the CAP pillar II. Almost 90 % of the farmers are committed to voluntary measures. We find it crucial that the green architecture should be flexible enough for the member states to create the best possible combination of measures, to benefit the farmer and the environment. It is also important that all the environmental and climate work of farmers is counted in. The ANC support should be considered as an environmental measure since it maintains the agricultural production in the disadvantaged areas hence diversifying EU- production. The voluntary environmental and climate measures should have a possibility of incentive-based payments.

  • Letter on the 2021 IIHF World Championship Co-Hosted by Belarus
    Letter on the 2021 IIHF World Championship co-hosted by Belarus Stockholm, 23 november 2020 Dear President René Fasel, Dear International Ice Hockey Federation, We, the undersigned elected members of the European parliament, are writing with regards to the upcoming 2021 IIHF World Championship, co-hosted by Belarus and Latvia, scheduled to take place in Minsk and Riga. It is our strongest request that Belarus immediately will be deprived of the hosting of the Championship. The current situation in Belarus is cause for a great sense of worry and concern. During this year, the cruelty imposed by Belarus Authorities towards the Belarusian people have escalated. It has become unequivocally clear to the world that Belarus is a country of oppression, with Aliaksandr Lukashenka as its dictator. The 9 August elections were fraudulent, and Lukashenka and his government has ever since captivated, imprisoned, and abused political opponents, as well as journalists and civilians. Furthermore, light has been shone on Dzmitryj Baskau, the president of the Belarusian Hockey Federation, and allegations that he has participated in the structural oppression under the Lukashenka regime. Witnesses have identified Baskau as taking part in the abuse and violence causing the death of Raman Bandarenka: a peaceful protester unlawfully taken into police custody on November 11, arrested on the Square of Change. We, the undersigned, request for a reconsideration of the Belarusian hosting of the Championship. It is unthinkable that the IIHF will collaborate with the current Belarusian regime, and thereby indirectly legitimise the dictatorship and oppression in Belarus. We further expect that the IIHF will immediately put a stop to any contact with the Belarusian Hockey Federation, as long as they are under the lead of Dzmitryj Baskau.

China and the authorities in Hong Kong seem to use the Covid-19 crisis to crackdown on the opposition and pro-democracy movement. The United States, the UK and Australia have already condemned the arrests, but the European Union has not yet given any formal reaction so far. The Hong Kong police arrested these pro-democracy activists accusing them of organising and participating in unlawful protests. These arrests followed months of massive protests, in which millions participated to express their dissatisfaction with China’s moves to control Hong Kong’s internal affairs. The arrests seem to be an attempt to intimidate and weaken the pro-democracy forces ahead of the elections in September. With the global attention focused on containing the Corona virus, China is using this crisis to crush the democratic movement in Hong Kong. These political prosecutions are in clear violation of universal human rights and are not only an attack on Hong Kong’s freedoms, but also on the international rules- based order. We believe it is of the utmost importance that the European Union sends a very strong and clear message to the Chinese and Hong Kong authorities that such actions are unacceptable.
