If there is need of additional information, #EP has the obligation to ask for additional impact assessment, there is even an obligation. You said the IA does not answer to the question about the impact on the economic cost. Here the answer simplified ec.europa.eu/commission/pre… 1/1
Minute 5: You cannot judge the importance of a legislation based on your personal assessment that this legislation is an invitation for court cases. A judge is focused on the common interpretation of rules, and not on quantifying targets. 1/2
Minute 6: I understand that you are worried about the potential incompatibility btw #Restorenature and Critical Materials Act. Please remember that currently there is no mine in Europe without environmental impact, nor will it be without social impact. 1/3
No incompatibility btw #Restaurenature and the Critical Material Act. Portugal wanted to open a new lithium mine near the village of Covas do Barroso in 2018 but residents resisted it successfully so far. 1/4
In Germany’s upper Rhine region, there is a huge lithium deposit is floating deep underground in thermal water, residents have concerns about the increased likelihood of earthquakes. 1/4
In #Italy, many of the Italian raw materials deposits are in tourist regions like Tuscany, Liguria and Sardinia with protected natural reserve areas. There will be a fierce resistance on the environmental assessments today and tomorrow 1/5
Evaluation of conflicting goals? Yes, there is a lot to find in renewables and green tech sectors, EU needs innovation and "NATURE". 1/5
Min 12: Allegation on #EuropeanCommission pressure which displays on a public platform 4 environment, the argumentation of MEP on #restorenature & their email address. You call it red line, I call it transparency! All MEP emails addresses are already displayed on #EP website 1/6
“The proposal is bad, it affects the cost of food. We should produce better, and not with this proposal. “Please Rapporteur #Sander quote a scientific report! No assumptions. U said: EC said that the legislation not binding. It's binding, EC wrote it: 1/7 environment.ec.europa.eu/topics/nature-…
Misunderstanding #EPP! Complaining about EC 'lobbying'? Nonsense! You have the obligation to collaborate with @EU_Commission! Please read the framework agreement EP the Commission! It's about political dialogue & collaboration at procedural level. eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/…
Have a great weekend! Below everything you want to know about #ChatGPT. Thank you Vered! I will add my #thread, with some information about #EU's reaction to ChatGPT.
#ChatGPT created by #OpenAI can carry out conversations, write texts on many topics, perform complex tasks: writing code &planning an event. #Italy's privacy watchdog asked to temporarily ban ChatGPT since the information collected & sent to #chatbot is in violation of #GDPR. 1/1
#ChatGPT unlawfully "fed" the personal data of millions of users to process its replies. @GPDP_IT opened an investigation against #OpenAI: the lack of information to users whose data are collected,absence of a legal basis justifying the massive collection/storage of #data 1/2
I received a gift from #India, a little stone, symbol of teaching. A very precious symbol to me. Now thinking about the new Team #Europe diplomacy on raw material. #Thread
#EU is trying is enhance its diplomacy by diversifying imports and increasing its own capacities through a better coordinated approach. We have now new legislation. The act foresees the creation of a board that would provide a #European perspective on #raw materials. 1/1
You might wonder: "Why start mines in #Europe, when the whole supply chain process works so well and cost-efficiently in #China?" 1/2
OK, I'm ready for this! In 🇯🇵 Prime Minister’s Office with Mr. Noriyuki Shikata, Cabinet Secretary for Public Affairs. Standing as a proud #European & got informed on #G7 & Japan Priorities. I am optimistic about #Japan’s new foreign policy for the following reasons. #Thread
#Japanese Realism Diplomacy means
- support for #Ukraine,
- free and open Indo-Pacific,
- enhancing relationship with like-minded countries,
- #UnitedNations Reform including the Security Council. 1/1
#Japanese Realism Diplomacy is about maintaining and strengthening the rules-based free & open international order, about the peaceful resolution of disputes, the non-use of force, & respect for sovereignty, freedom of navigation, free trade, and respect for human rights. 1/2
Focus on the #Japanese Realism Diplomacy for a new Era. We need some inspiration in #EU since Putin is striking strategic relationship with #China, #SouthAfrica & #Brazil. No time to waste on Franco-Italian tensions triggered by a diplomatic dinner. #Hiroshima#Thread
#Chinese FM Wang Yi will visit #Russia as part of a diplomatic tour in Europe. His 9-day trip will also include stops in #France, #Italy, #Hungary and #Germany, where he will speak at the #Munich Security Conference. #CNN 1/1
#EU ambassadors were briefed in small groups over the weekend by Ursula von der Leyen’s chief of staff Björn Seibert about the plans for the 10th sanctions package against #Russia. #Politico 1/2
Extradition, fighting terrorism and freezing assets was part of the memorandum of understanding that #Turkey signed with #Sweden and #Finland in return for Ankara’s approval to their #Nato accession. 1/1
In #Sweden extradition is not a political decision but based on the judicial system. Terrorism is much broader in Turkey than it's in Sweden. The Swedish court came to the conclusion that some of Turkey’s accusations against the journalist are not crimes in Sweden. 1/2
Just reading that @Europarl_EN cancels upcoming diplomatic missions to Morocco & Qatar amid ongoing probes of corruption allegations. 30 MEPs call on to ban Moroccan diplomats from entering #EP pending an outcome in the corruption investigation. Not my approach. #Mythread
The European Parliament needs first to apply the current rules properly. Let’s recall that a decade or so ago, the European Parliament was rocked by a cash-for-influence scandal leading to the resignation of some MEPs. 1/1
As the result, #EP introduced in 2012 a new Code of Conduct aimed at preventing corruption. Everything is in this Code: principles: disinterest, integrity, openness, diligence, honesty, accountability, respect for EP reputation. #Brussels 1/2
