No one providing humanitarian assistance should be criminalised anywhere in Europe

People providing humanitarian assistance to those in need should not be criminalised anywhere in Europe. That was the message of a resolution backed today by MEPs in the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
 
S&D Group spokesperson for the resolution, Claude Moraes MEP, said:
 

European Health Forum Gastein 2018 announces its programme – bold political choices for health

 
  • European Health Forum Gastein’s (3-5 October 2018) detailed programme is available online.
  • Programme sessions cover four tracks: Innovation for All, Sustainable Systems, Evidence for Action and No-one left behind

Lobbying over copyright reform crossed a line. No MEP should be subject to death threats.

Over the last few days, numerous MEPs have received serious threats and verbal abuse over the proposed reform of EU copyright rules.

S&D Group president Udo Bullmann said:
 

Reform of European Citizens’ Initiative will make it easier for people to change direction of EU policy

The European Parliament today voted on the reform of the European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI). The European Citizens' Initiative is a unique and innovative way for citizens to shape the EU by calling on the European Commission to make a legislative proposal. Once an initiative gathers one million signatures, the Commission decides on what follow-up action to take. The reform voted today, will make it easier for organisers from different member states to work together on new initiatives.

S&Ds: On the expulsion of Bedouin communities from the occupied Palestinian territory, Israel shows not to be a healthy democracy

Following continuous pressure by Israeli authorities on Bedouin communities in the Negev and the West Bank, the forcible transfer of Bedouin families and the plan to dismantle the village of Khan al-Ahmar, the S&D Group sent a letter today to Israeli Ambassador to the European Union, Mr Aharon Leshno-Yaar, in which the Group raises its voice against these actions that openly contradict international law.
 
S&D Group vice-president, Elena Valenciano, said:
 

Accidental Americans: EU must stand up to US over double taxation of EU citizens

S&D MEPs today called for the European Commission to act to protect EU citizens affected by the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). The US is one of only two countries in the world to tax people based on citizenship rather than place of residence.
 
S&D Group spokesperson for the Parliament’s petitions committee, Virginie Rozière, said:
