QUESTIONS TO HIGH REPRESENTATIVE CANDIDATE MOGHERINI
1. External vs Internal Security Policy
In your written respond y'all claim the demand of a consistent in addition to global approach to external in addition to internal security. However, legally these 2 dimensions receive got been artificially separated inwards the Treaties past times a disconnection clause (art.40 of TEU; see the Annex to this weblog post) according to which the external safety volition rest intergovernmental. This agency that consensus betwixt the 28 Member States volition rest the primary rule, at that topographic point are no legislative powers in addition to the Court of Justice has no total judicial oversight.
Bearing inwards remove heed these flaws of the European Union external safety policy (also from the dot of see of the republic regulation in addition to of the dominion of law) would non hold upwardly amend to attain some of your goals past times edifice them on the external dimension of “internal” policies (such as protection of borders, migration, judicial in addition to law cooperation)? If so qualified bulk voting volition hold upwardly the dominion in addition to external agreements volition hold upwardly approved past times the EP (as already happened amongst some EU-US agreements) in addition to European Union acts volition hold upwardly nether the command of the Court of Justice…
2. Solidarity clause inwards illustration of terrorist assail or natural or human being made disaster (art. 222 TFEU)
On a articulation proposal of your predecessor in addition to of the Commission on 24 June 2014 the Council adopted the arrangements for the implementation past times the Union of the solidarity clause (art 222 TFEU) to hold upwardly activated if a Member State is the object of a terrorist assail or the victim of a natural or man-made disaster. The text has been adopted without associating the EP in addition to moreover it does non foresee whatever structured information of the European Parliament on the way inwards which threats are defined in addition to monitored, non fifty-fifty inwards the illustration that such an trial occurs. However fifty-fifty if the Treaty does non impose a requirement to render this information nil would had prevented the Council from foreseeing it on its ain maiden besides because it would hold upwardly bizarre that the members of the EP detect a terrorist assail from the press rather than from institutional channels.
Will y'all suggest an amendment to that Decision past times recognising an adequate infinite for the EP?
3. Global Approach to Migration in addition to mobility partnership as a binding act
As y'all rightly say inwards your written answer, European Union evolution policy in addition to international agreements could hold upwardly the respond to address the root causes of displacement. However the Global Approach of Migration in addition to the mobility partnership are only diplomatic instruments in addition to are meaningless if non framed as total international agreements.
Should they hold upwardly transformed into legal binding acts (both for 3rd countries in addition to the European Union in addition to its Member States) in addition to hold upwardly accompanied past times formal European Union agreements amongst the relevant United Nations Agencies (UNHCR, IOM) tasking (and financing) them for the interventions inwards 3rd countries?
4. Agreements on the commutation of confidential information amongst 3rd countries
Since 2000 the Council of the European Union has concluded dozens of international agreements dealing amongst the commutation of confidential information amongst 3rd states in addition to international organizations. However, notwithstanding the entry into forcefulness of the Lisbon Treaty in addition to of fine art 218(10) of the TFEU which requires that the European Parliament should hold upwardly “immediately in addition to fully informed” during the negotiations this never happened.
Even worse these agreements follow the same model (originally defined for the EU-NATO agreement) according to which the Council concludes the understanding on behalf of the European Union past times granting to the other contracting political party the right of vetoing the transmission of the classified information to whatever other 3rd party, including the European Parliament.
Do y'all remember that inwards compliance amongst the democratic regulation within the European Union in addition to the regulation of loyal cooperation after the Lisbon Treaty these agreements should hold upwardly amended?
5. Art ix of Regulation 1049/2001 in addition to time to come revision of the Agreement on the commutation of classified information
Art.9 of Regulation 1049/2001 frames inwards a really concise way the handling of classified information as “confidential”, “secret” in addition to “top secret”. However at that topographic point is non yet a Definition of the criteria to hold upwardly followed for the classification/declassification.
As limits to fundamental rights should hold upwardly founded on law in addition to non on internal organisational rules (the so called EUCI rules) volition y'all suggest a revision of article ix of Regulation 1049/2001 ?
The revision of the understanding on commutation of confidential information amongst the Council inwards the domains formerly covered past times the 2nd pillar is underway.
Will y'all choose an EP request for declassification inwards illustration after evidence a document appears to hold upwardly overclassified ?
6. International negotiations in addition to provisional application
In regulation the mandate for negotiations for an international understanding should betoken the envisaged legal base of operations (see the CITES judgment of the CJEU) but this has non been the illustration for the ACTA agreement, for the TTIP in addition to currently for the EU-USA umbrella understanding on information protection.
Do y'all handgrip that this is an essential chemical factor for the legality of the mandate fifty-fifty if the legal ground could hold upwardly updated on the ground of the outcome of the negotiations?
The signature of an international understanding non roofing only the CFSP requires the consent of the European Parliament. In illustration of mixed agreements (such for external trade) the provisional application could hold upwardly foreseen in addition to the EP volition non receive got the jeopardy to delay the application without rejecting the understanding itself.
Do y'all non consider that it would hold upwardly to a greater extent than wise to submit to the EP 2 dissimilar draft Decisions roofing respectively the understanding in addition to its provisional application?
7. Consular Protection
Foreseen past times the Maastricht Treaty the right to consular protection is silent the “cinderella” of European Union citizens’ rights, because of Member States’ reluctance to adopt fifty-fifty the Commission proposal to found a solidarity machinery inwards this area.
Will y'all endeavour to convince the MS that it is fifty-fifty inwards their involvement to adopt the Commission proposal?
QUESTIONS TO FRANS TIMMERMANS
Rather strangely the hearing inwards this illustration volition non follow the EP’s really detailed internal rules (art.118 in addition to Annex XVI of the EP’s rules of procedure; see the annex to this weblog post) which require that the hearing should choose house earlier the Parliamentary committees. Candidate Vice President Timmermans volition instead hold upwardly heard past times the Conference of Presidents of political Groups.
1.Rule of law / implementation of European Union law
The confidence of all European Union citizens in addition to national authorities inwards the functioning of the rule of law inwards the Member States is vital to growth the mutual trust in addition to to farther prepare the European Union into "an expanse of freedom, safety in addition to judge without internal frontiers".
In your written reply y'all strongly back upwardly the recent Commission proposal for a “common dominion of law framework (COM(2014)158 as repeatedly advocated past times the European Parliament (but criticized past times the Council legal Service). However such an exercise, which should encompass all the European Union fellow member states, risk beingness meaningless if the Commission does non strengthen the mechanisms which implement the regulation of sincere cooperation amongst in addition to betwixt the Member States. For instance at that topographic point is no Blue Planet inwards the Treaties which justifies confidential meetings betwixt the Commission in addition to the Member States (even inwards the framework of the so called “EU Pilot mechanism”) when legal certainty on the exact range of European Union citizens rights in addition to obligations are at stake.
As kickoff steps to strengthen the dominion of law would it non so hold upwardly appropriate to:
- update the way that the Commission on a day-to-day ground debates amongst the Member States nigh the implementation of European Union legislation?
- brand populace the Member States’ implementation plans as good as the tabular array of correspondence betwixt European Union in addition to national rules ?
- implement (five years after the Lisbon Treaty came into force!) Article lxx TFEU, providing for “objective in addition to impartial evaluation of the implementation of the Union policies” as regards Justice in addition to Home Affairs law, past times keeping informed the European in addition to national parliaments ?
- choose stock every twelvemonth of the rulings of the European Courts in addition to of the measures taken at national grade ?
2. Charter of Fundamental rights as a “roadmap” for the European Union legislator ?
In a recent ruling the Court of Justice struck downwards for the kickoff fourth dimension an European Union Directive (the Data Retention Directive 2006/24) because “.., the European Union legislature has exceeded the limits imposed past times compliance amongst the regulation of proportionality inwards the lite of Articles 7, 8 in addition to 52(1) of the Charter. " According to the CJEU the Directive “..does non lay downwards clear in addition to precise rules governing the extent of the interference amongst the fundamental rights enshrined inwards Articles 7 in addition to 8 of the Charter” in addition to moreover “does non require the information inwards inquiry to hold upwardly retained within the European Union, amongst the outcome that it cannot hold upwardly held that the control, explicitly required past times Article 8(3) of the Charter, past times an independent authorization of compliance amongst the requirements of protection in addition to security, as referred to inwards the 2 previous paragraphs, is fully ensured…” In other damage from at nowadays on the Court of Justice volition require a strict assessment of the proportionality in addition to necessity of measures that constitute serious restrictions to fundamental rights, all the same legitimate the objectives pursued past times the European Union legislature.
On the ground of this landmark ruling create y'all non consider your priority to revise, to ensure its proportionality, the legislation falling within the sphere of judicial in addition to law cooperation inwards criminal matters adopted earlier the entry into forcefulness of the Charter in addition to of the Treaty of Lisbon ?
Will y'all commit to prepare a stronger in addition to to a greater extent than transparent strategy to bargain amongst infringements of European Union law where the rights inwards the Charter are threatened past times a Member State's non-existent or wrong implementation of its European Union law obligations?
Would it non hold upwardly sensible, taking into draw of piece of work concern human relationship your attachment to the REFIT exercise, to found “sunset clauses” for measures limiting European Union citizens rights? Moreover, as regards information protection, create y'all non consider that this ruling raises fifty-fifty bigger doubts on the compatibility amongst the proportionality regulation of the EU-US agreements on PNR in addition to TFTP in addition to of the legislative proposals submitted past times the Commission on the EU-PNR in addition to the “Entry-Exit” scheme (not to speak of the lack of compliance of the proposal on trusted traveller amongst the regulation of non discrimination) ?
3 Better Regulation –interinstitutional understanding on codecision – Transparency
In your written respond y'all recognise that the electrical current inter-institutional understanding on amend law making has several flaws but y'all envisage its revision only past times the cease of 2015. However inwards the meantime some practices against the spirit in addition to the alphabetic quality of the Treaties could continue. For instance the Treaties brand no reference whatever longer to the protection of the conclusion making physical care for for legislative procedures in addition to require populace debates besides at the Council level. Notwithstanding this novel legal framework until at nowadays the Commission has done nil to convey the Council in addition to EP closer on the revision of Regulation 1049/2001 in addition to create a sufficient bulk within the Council (as one-time Dutch government minister y'all should know this work really well).
Will you, as a kickoff priority, modify the 2008 Commission proposal on access to documents past times taking as a ground Article xv TFEU, Article 42 of the Charter in addition to the seat adopted past times the European Parliament inwards Dec 2011?
As the Council has de facto imposed upon the other European Union institutions, agencies in addition to bodies its internal safety rules as mutual standards for classified documents, would y'all non consider that the electrical current province of affairs violates the Treaty provision which requires a legislative mensurate to hold upwardly adopted nether art. xv TFEU ?
4. Delegated / Implementing acts - Transparency
After the Lisbon Treaty the Commission, instead of applying on a illustration past times illustration ground the implementation of the subsidiarity regulation past times defining policy past times policy what should hold upwardly considered basic rules, what could hold upwardly considered non-essential (and thus to hold upwardly delegated) and what could hold upwardly considered purely executive, has adopted a “horizontal” approach by taking as primary reference the pre-existing types of Committees.
This “shortcut” has non only ignored the evolutions of dissimilar policies (as good as of the institutions’ roles) but it is besides taking to a greater extent than fourth dimension it could have, as compared to updating the European Union legislative objectives inwards the lite of the revised Treaties in addition to of the Charter.
From a transparency perspective y'all province that you “will besides consider whether the Commission could systematically bring out draft measures at the dot at which consultations amongst practiced groups are due to start. This would allow the European Parliament in addition to the Council as good as other stakeholders to limited their views earlier formal adoption. The iii institutions could beak over whether a dedicated Register could hold upwardly constituent of the solution in addition to depending on the conclusions reached, I would hold upwardly create to examine the feasibility of this pick in addition to its inclusion inwards the modernised inter-institutional understanding on amend law-making”.
Are y'all aware that such an obligation already exists inwards Regulation 1049/2001 according to which “Wider access should hold upwardly granted to documents inwards cases where the institutions are acting inwards their legislative capacity, including nether delegated powers, piece at the same fourth dimension preserving the effectiveness of the institutions' decision-making process. Such documents should hold upwardly made straight accessible to the greatest possible extent.” ?
5. Subsidiarity inwards the Area of Freedom, Security in addition to Justice
In your written respond y'all brand reference to your maiden as one-time Dutch government minister for external affairs on what the European Union should create to comply amongst the principles of subsidiarity in addition to proportionality. However according to the 54 recommendations adopted 1 twelvemonth agone past times your regime the European Union should hold upwardly less ambitious, inwards the liberty safety in addition to judge area, on :
- consular protection for European Union citizens abroad (even if since its establishment past times the Maastricht Treaty this right exists only on paper)
- family reunification (where NL recommends higher historic catamenia in addition to civic integration requirements)
- admission of third-country nationals for the purposes of research, studies, student exchange, etc.
(where NL considers that the categories of pupils inwards commutation programmes, unpaid interns, volunteers in addition to au pairs should non hold upwardly covered)
- proposals to harmonise the law of criminal procedure where NL considers that “legislation should non hold upwardly ‘Lisbonised’ only because the Treaty of Lisbon exists” in addition to oppose “the introduction of legislative proposals purely on the grounds that the Council of Europe has already adopted a Convention on the same subject”. (NDR : So why they did bother ratifying the Lisbon Treaty in addition to a binding Charter when the previous regime was already satisfactory in addition to why bother amongst the European Union if the Council of Europe suffices?)
- proposals to harmonise substantive criminal law (where NL challenges, for instance, European Union proposals enforcing criminal laws against identity fraud in addition to customs law violations) in addition to the revision of the coin laundering legislation.
As a Vice President of the Commission volition y'all maintain the same approach ?
6. European Union agencies in addition to their powers /accountability
In the concluding x years the number of European Union agencies has rocketed from 10 to 32, sometimes for sound technical reasons, but to a greater extent than oft as a way for Member States to shape in addition to deal European Union policies without a existent accountability earlier the Commission, the European Parliament in addition to the national parliaments. Their global budget amounted inwards 2014 to 800 1000000 euros, in addition to amongst to a greater extent than than 6.000 officials they receive got go a parallel direction which acts inwards a rather fuzzy way without a clear legal administrative framework. The Common Approach to decentralised agencies (a “political” understanding reached inwards 2012 past times the Council, Commission in addition to European Parliament) has set downwards some parameters on European Union agencies’ establishment, hosting, human resources policy, transparency in addition to accountability but as such is to a greater extent than of cosmetic nature. But what is to a greater extent than worrying is the fact that some of the agencies are becoming political agenda setting bodies. In the FSJA the role of Frontex in addition to of Europol (managing the so called “policy cycle” which defines the European Union priorities against crime) is self –explanatory.
How create y'all intend to re-establish a existent binding administrative framework in addition to improve the rule of law principles for these “independent” European Union bodies?
You announced that y'all “will ready a proposal for an Inter-Institutional Agreement creating a mandatory foyer register roofing the Commission, the European Parliament in addition to the Council”. As cases of conflict of involvement receive got emerged volition y'all add together besides the European Union agencies to the register ?
