I have a feeling this tweet will soon be quite applicable to @vonderleyenโ€™s State of the Union.
#SOTEU ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ
โœ… Health Union: check
โœ… Economic and Monetary Union: check
โœ… Capital Markets Union: check
โœ… Industrial Union: check
Getting there!
โœ… Digital Union: check
๐ŸŽ BONUS: Anti-racist Union
๐ŸŽ BONUS: Union of Equality

โŒ On the downside, however, no mention of our political union. No words on how to strengthen our institutions and our #EuropeanDemocracy.
A #federalEurope is a necessary step for our future. ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ #SOTEU #SOTEU2020

โŒ Worthy of note: sharp nose-dive for virtually all pro-EU forces: @EPP, @PES_PSE, @ALDEParty, @europeangreens, @PDE_EDP, and EFA (even @europeanleft).
Only net winner: the @LeftAlliance_EU, but mostly because it starts from zero.
โŒ Conversely, the winners (except ELA) are all on the hard/far-right: @PatriotsEU, @ECRparty, and ESN.

Today, @POLITICOEurope's Playbook reports on two EU political alliances missing out on EU funds "because the paperwork is too complicated". A great opportunity to discuss the funding of #europeanparties! ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ

First of all, what are we talking about? This is about a special stream of European public funding set aside for #europeanparties and distributed every year. Out of that envelope, 10% is distributed equally to all parties and 90% proportionally to their number of MEPs. 2/23
But, actually, this turns out to be more about registration than funding. In the meantime, if you want to really understand the funding of European parties, hear this way ๐Ÿ‘‡ 3/23

A victory for #transparency!! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ
@EDC_eudemocracy paved for the way for information on #europeanparties to be available from the @Europarl_EN to citizens without delay!
Before, information took up to 8 years to be available in full.
@edecapitani @wouter_wolfs @POLITICOEurope A victory for #transparency...
Over the past several years, @EDC_eudemocracy has made many, many requests to the European Parliament to access decisions by its Bureau on the funding of #europeanparties. These included decisions for funding (for the coming year) and final accounts (which wrap up the process).
Invariably, these documents were provided with heavy redactions over the parts covering the EP's reasoning for its decisions: we could see the outcome (amounts), but not how decisions were made. Until yesterday, the latest full document related to funding for 2015 -- 8 years ago.

National parties have an obligation to display their affiliation to #europeanparties. Yet, they often fail to do so properly.

๐Ÿ”ฅToday, @Europarl_EN's Committee on Constitutional Affairs (#AFCO) will discuss #transnationallists. Here is why they may not be the good idea we think they are. A thread ๐Ÿ‘‡ 1/25
@EPInstitutional @Antonio_Tajani @guyverhofstadt @sandrogozi @d_boeselager @daniel_freund @inside_ep
Many have endorsed TNLs as the way to make our elections more #European, from pro-#EU groups (@federalists, @EMInternational), to politicians (@EmmanuelMacron, @vonderleyen) & advocates (@jonworth, @alemannoEU, @AndrewDuffEU). They argue TNLs will bring a European dimension. 2/25
To be clear, the point of this thread is *not* to argue that TNLs will make our common election less European, simply that they will not remedy the election's core deficiency (that national parties are in control) and that, therefore, they are not the right way forward. 3/25

.@vonderleyen poised to interview @MaireadMcGMEP & @AMcDowell early this week. For which job? Unclear! Maybe @dreynders gets trade portfolio... or sth else in case of reshuffle!
Such is the absurdity of the โ€œ1 country-1 commissionerโ€ rule. #IamEuropean
politico.eu/newsletter/bruโ€ฆ
Of course, "the @EU_Commission shall be completely independent" and "the members of the Commission shall neither seek nor take instructions from any Government". (Art. 17.3 TEU #LisbonTreaty). So there should be no need for #1country1commissioner rule. #IamEuropean ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ
Furthermore, "As from 1/11/2014, the @EU_Commission shall consist of a number of members [equal to] two thirds of the number of Member States" (Art. 17.5 TEU #LisbonTreaty)..... "unless the @EUCouncil [...] decides to alter this number". Which it did right away. #IamEuropean ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ
