Progressive Caucus Green New Deal
12. Dezember 2019
The Progressive Caucus is a MEPs grouping coming from GUE, S&D and Greens. We increase exchanges, links and actions between progressive allies in the European Parliament and across Europe. We are sharing common values as environmentalists, democrats, feminists, internationalists, standing for solidarity against neo-liberalism and austerity.
We, the MEPs participating in the Progressive Caucus in the European Parliament, welcome the European Commission’s awareness in its proposals of the Green New Deal; however, we are calling for more to give the Planet the answer it needs.
We are asking for a radical policy paradigm shift to question the principle of growth.
We are waiting for a truly massive public investment plan to link ecological and social issues and to respect the Paris agreement.
– International trade agreements have a significant impact on climate, in addition to the Common Agricultural Policy. Proposing a Green Deal without questioning and redefining these policies is therefore inconsistent. We call for a mainstreaming of climate objectives in all European policies. Trade and investment policies should guarantee the respect of very ambitious social and environmental standards;
– Changing the way we produce and consume will also change the world of work. We must tax companies where their incomes are generated to finance a real transformative European Fund that trains workers and the unemployed in preparation for such an ecological shift and fair transitions;
– Without changing the current economic rules, we will not save the planet. We are asking a Sustainability Pact to replace the Stability and Growth Pact. The right to decent and energyefficient housing for all must be considered as a golden rule in this pact ;
– We need real legal guarantees in Europe to ensure compliance with the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals. For that we need to extend the mandate of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office to add environmental crimes;

Nach Einsicht in den #CureVac-Vertrag bleiben bei @rasmusandresen @GreensEFA Fragen offen. Um #ImpfBereitschaft zu erhöht & #VerschwörungsTheorien das Handwerk zu legen, sei mehr #Transparenz nötig. Abgeordnete sollen an 📑 Akteneinsicht nicht gehindert werden. @die_gruenen
“Wenn wir die Impfbereitschaft erhöhen & Verschwörungserzählungen das Handwerk legen wollen, müssen alle Informationen auf den Tisch.”
Die 🇪🇺 Kommission & Unternehmen wie Biontech müssen dafür den Weg frei machen.
The plenary debate about the Covid vaccines makes it crystal clear.
We need more transparency and a full disclosure of the 🇪🇺 vaccine contracts. #COVID
Ich wünsche mir im Bundestagswahlkampf weniger Personalpolitik und mehr Inhalte.
Die Bundestagswahl ist keine TV Show & wir haben kein Präsidentschaftsmodell. #ArminLassEs
Not a single euro cent of taxpayers' money 💶 should be spent on fossil fuels ❌ 🦕
This needs to stop now❗️#KickPollutersOut

The 🇪🇺 commission denies to have given 💶💶 to the fossil fuel lobby 🏭. We know that this isn’t true.
This practice has to stop. #nofossilfuelmoney

Heute hat die EU-Kommission den Wunsch von mehr als einer Million Europäer* innen ignoriert. Die Minority SafePack Initiative setzt sich für den Schutz von Minderheiten in ganz Europa ein, doch die Kommission möchte nichts unternehmen.
Doch so einfach kommt die Kommission nicht davon. Wir kämpfen weiter! ... See MoreSee Less

Heute haben wir über den EU-Forschungsfonds für Kohle und Stahl diskutiert.
Ja, den gibts tatsächlich. In der Vergangenheit wurden damit sogar Projekte der Kohlelobby Euracoal finanziert. Auch wenn sich die Kommission heute nicht daran erinnern konnte.

Wir wollen die Marktmacht der großen Techkonzerne wie Facebook brechen!
Unter anderem geht es darum, dass Nachrichten von zum Beispiel Whatsapp zu Telegram geschickt werden können. Die Kommission will das nicht nicht, antwortet ausweichend und schützt Facebook und co. Meine Frage an die Kommission: ... See MoreSee Less
