WELCOME TO DAY 2! #PPCLisbon

Today we have a packed programme full of great panels on topics like #Euroscepticism, #Migration, and #InDivEU

We'll be discussing the challenges of #EU2021PT and the opportunities presented in the current circumstances

/THREAD
First this morning we are enjoying a second set of Parallel Sessions

Here is the rundown of contributions, and some great highlights

/2
Parallel Session 3 concerns the TEPSA Book: "Euroscepticism and the Future of Europe: Views from the Capitals", co-edited by @MichaelKaeding, @_PaulSchmidt, and this session's moderator: @JohannesPollak from @WebsterVienna
We'll hear from Pedro Silva Pereira, Vice-President in the @Europarl_EN, Alice Cunha from @iprinova, and @MwiWind from @CentreforEUPol

/4
Parallel Session 4 is all about #MigrationPact

@TomLawMedia from @MediaGFMD moderates the discussion between TEPSA Secretary-General Jaap De Zwaan, @ministerieJenV's Nanda Kellij, and Madalina Moraru from @EuropeanUni

/5
Some highlights from Parallel Session 3: "Book Launch: Euroscepticism and the Future of Europe:

/6
"It is Fascinating to see that in some European Countries like Italy, China is more popular or trusted than the European Union"

- @JohannesPollak from @WebsterVienna

/7
"The TEPSA book is an important contribution on our debate on Euroscepticism. The book is added value for three reasons...

/8
... First, it is the result of a fact finding mission on chapters from 40 different countries from Europe; Second, it allows us to understand how diverse Euroscepticism is - it can have different political ideologies...

/9
...Third, the book shows us that the political movement is dynamic, the Euroscepticism is moving. We count a total of 205 members of Parliament (29%) who are Eurosceptic - a huge, strong force in the European landscape"

- Pedro Silva Pereira, Vice-President of @Europarl_EN

/10
"Euroscepticsts are selling illusions and false claims and this challenges European project in its core"

- Pedro Silva Pereira, Vice-President of @Europarl_EN

/11
"For 40 years now Portugal has a stable pro-EU political system. A new Portugese party has now imerged, which is called ''ENOUGH'' in English translation. They managed to elect their MEP after few months of party inception...

/12
... They are against loss of national soveregnity and they are against strong Europe in international context. Recent polls show that new party is gaining political support"

- Alice Cunha from @iprinova

/13
"Demark is an obedient complier of EU law, but we have a long history of Euroscepticism which is still there. On the other hand, opinion polls show that Danes have become increasingly pro-EU since Brexit"

- @MwiWind from @CentreforEUPol

/14
Some highlights from Parallel Session 4: "Migration" ⤵️

/15
"With regard to the handling of applications, there are questions of solidarity with Hungary and Poland to participate in the relocation system. We must unfortunately accept this"

- Jaap de Zwaan, TEPSA Secretary-General

/16
"To the extent that we can achieve a fair share, we should do this. If there is a complete refusal, then at least they should do something differently which can be measured on an equivalent basis such as sponsorships, funding, etc"

- Jaap de Zwaan, TEPSA Secretary-General

/17
"We should recognise the political reality we are in. It’s a fundamental area where we have to recognise that each Member State has some responsibility"

- Jaap de Zwaan, TEPSA Secretary-General

/18
Nanda Kellij from @ministerieJenV foruccsed on four areas:

"The combination of the screening procedure with the border procedure; returns sponsorships in the solidarity clauses...

/19
... an instrument to tackle secondary migration where the screening procedure can be applied to migrants once in the EU; a new strategy on labour migration pathways, which will be discussed next year"

- Nanda Kellij from @ministerieJenV

/20
"The approach thus far has been to keep the asylum and research procedure quite separate, because member states have different existing mechanisms for dealing with these procedures"

- Madalina Moraru from @EuropeanUni

/21
"The New Pact on Migration and Asylum, in wedding these two procedures together, puts a high pressure to adapt on national capabilities"

- Madalina Moraru from @EuropeanUni

/22
We thoroughly enjoyed the start to day 2 of #PPCLisbon with our partners over at @iprinova, tune back in for our #InDivEU project session at 14:00!
