Our infographic of the new European Parliament on Twitter shows this increase in the number of Twitter users also brings in some significant new faces: Pablo Iglesias, a Spanish Podemos MEP who is the radical left candidate for the presidency of the European Parliament, has more than 400,000 followers – far ahead of leading tweeters from the last parliament (such as Marine Le Pen, Martin Schulz or Nigel Farage). The GUE/NGL Group also has the biggest proportion of daily tweeters.

And they are right! Isn't this the role of OLAF? Why does the Commission need to create another institution?
There is no such a thing as a European penal procedure code. The EU would have to write this first. And then, this should only enable to define which national prosecutor is competent for investigating.
So the Dutchs are right to try to prevent the EU from creating more and more institutions. We recall the European Arrest warrant, from a judicial point of view a catastrophe, and it has been suspended accordingly by the German constitutional court.
We have Europol, we have Eurojust and all those institutions have a severe problem of parliamentarian oversight. We are creating an administrative monster in Brussels without having the democratic legitimate institutions and sufficiently efficient to control all those bureaucrates.
Dutch MPs are spearheading national efforts to weaken a European Commission proposal to set up an EU-wide public prosecutor (EPPO). Their envoy and national EPPO rapporteur is Ard van der Steur from the liberal VDD party. Tasked to mobilise allies from around the EU to reject the commission’s idea, Steur is seeking to pressure decision-makers in Brussels to accept an alternative vision for the office.

... nous appelons les dirigeants Euro-BRICS[3] à convoquer très rapidement[4] le premier "sommet Euro-BRICS pour l’Ukraine" qui aura pour objet d’établir les causes, d’identifier les solutions et de contribuer à mettre en place les conditions politiques et diplomatiques pour une résolution souveraine de la crise ukrainienne et pour la prévention de crises similaires avec d’autres États frontaliers euro-russes à l’avenir.

Mit den Milliardenbussen, welche die USA gegen fremdländische Banken wie die BNP Paribas aussprechen, handeln sie wie die Mafia
Geld eintreiben als Schutz vor einer Gefahr, die man selber darstellt. Das ist das Prinzip der Mafia. Und der USA. Wenn Banken in den USA gegen US-Gesetze verstossen haben, geht eine Strafe in Ordnung. Wenn die Schweizer Regierung den rechtsimperialistischen Übergriff der USA in die Schweiz hinein zulässt, dann ist das jämmerlich und die Aufgabe der Schweizer Rechtssouveränität.

Le président du Parlement européen doit être élu à bulletin secret mardi 1er juillet.
Le recours au vote secret pour cette institution qui fait preuve de beaucoup de transparence est donc l’exception. Elle s’explique par la crainte de pressions qui auraient pu être exercées sur les députés européens dont la légitimité était au départ plutôt faible. La mesure, qui s’appliquera également le 16 juillet lors du vote pour le président de la Commission européenne, semble désormais obsolète. Elle est de surcroit risquée.

NSA: Denmark has cooperated with the U.S. for years... le Danemark agent double américain pour la NSA... et on voudrait nous imposer Helle Thorning-Schmidt, pour la présidence du Conseil européen??? alors même que le Danemark n’est pas dans la zone euro!!!
Danmark har siden slutningen af 90’erne tilhørt den absolutte inderkreds i et internationalt aflytningssamarbejde. Det viser dokumenter, som DR har fået aktindsigt i. Dokumenterne supplerer de afsløringer, som Dagbladet Information har bragt i de seneste uger om, hvordan den danske stat så sent som i 2013 har givet amerikanerne adgang til overvågning af informationer via de danske kommunikationskabler.

So here the solution: "A Euro-BRICS joint statement on the Ukrainian crisis. Three strategic proposals" http://www.newropeans-magazine.info/A-Euro-BRICS-joint-statement-on-the-Ukrainian-crisis-Three-strategic-proposals_a123.html
EU leaders last Friday (27 June) gave Russia a new ultimatum on sanctions, but opinion differs on when the ultimatum is due and what the reaction will be. The leaders said they will take "further steps" unless Russia meets four conditions “by Monday 30 June”. The list includes the freeing of “all” hostages by pro-Russia rebels and the return of three border checkpoints to Ukrainian forces.

Schon die Unterzeichnung des Vertrags zwischen Frankreich und Russland im Jahr 2011 über die Lieferung von zwei Kriegsschiffen hat insbesondere in den USA für Unmut gesorgt. Mit der Ukraine-Krise ist der Druck auf Paris gestiegen, aus dem Rüstungsdeal auszusteigen. Für Frankreichs Präsidenten, Francois Hollande, kommt das nicht infrage.
