Nous vous donnerons des nouvelles de notre programme électoral (en cours d'élaboration) et de nos préparatifs pour les élections européennes.

As a Bulgarian, the United States of Europe’s idea seems realistic and I can almost touch it. For the past 8 years life standard has raised, Bulgaria’ economy’s growing (with + 5% GDP), we do not need visas to travel, he have the possibility to travel and to meet people, the possibility to work and live where our heart is… 25,000 students leave Bulgaria every year (out of 80,000), unemployment rates are low. Two thirds of Bulgarians are Euro-optimists.
The biggest problem for Bulgaria is the corruption and control of European funds to reach their purposes.
Now let me present some other ideas for the manifesto...
Women’s rights:
Let me show you two exemples of countries where no one would say that women occupy important posts: in Iran (Islamic Republic) half of the board of directors or financial directors in State-owned companies are women and in Bulgaria (the poorest EU member) women have the same or better salaries.
Women should have more rights especially during their maternity.

Was the activists
Forum in Vienna an abnormal week-end for abnormal people? Are we
abnormal people to start with as Bo Krovig - a campaign specialist
of the Swedish party - said?
In a way Bo was right, it was a beautiful week-end, nice and sunny in Vienna and there we were, a bunch of some 300 people sitting in a room with no windows, listening to other speakers talk, at times fighting against sleep, raising our hands to get a chance to say a word when instead we should have been pick-nicking in a park with friends or family. And, to make matters worse, we had to put our hands deep into our pockets to get those Euros out that paid for our trip to Vienna. And there was fatigue too. I had a General Assembly of my PS section and got home late on Thursday night, still having to pack, try to get a few hours of sleep before starting off and finding my way to the airport. Helène worked late on Friday, but I convinced her to go to because I was confident that she would love the experience. And she did, in spite of fatigue.
The Vienna forum was really worth it, and sorry Bo, but I wouldn't have traded it for the best pick-nick in the nicest park or field of the Union with the best possible company;... » Lire la suite ...

Note de
l'éditeur: Aidan OSullivan, des militants du PSE de Dublin, nous
envoie un exemple de bonne pratique au niveau européen, présenté
lors du séminaire "Echanges sur les campagnes
transfrontalières".
En mai 2007, nous avons invité des militants de la base de toute
l'Europe afin de venir nous aider avec la campagne en vue des
élections législatives irlandaises.
Cette initiative a été un franc succès! Nous sommes allés frapper
aux portes des gens ensemble, nous avons distribué des tracts
ensemble, nous avons partagé des idées et des histoires et nous
avons véritablement créé des relations politiques
trans-européennes!
C'est comme ça que ça fonctionne, les militans du PSE: une
coopération de militant/e à militant/e construisant ensemble la
nouvelle Europe sociale depuis la base vers le haut.
N'hésitez pas à consulter la brève présentation de notre
expérience!

Saturday I
joined the workshop on “European dimension in European election” at
the PES Seminar in Vienna. Thanks to PES, ECOSY – Young European
Socialists and their member organisation, I also had the
opportunity to present recent (international) campaigns, as for
example the Free Burma Campaign (JS in de PVDA), Disarmament and
Peace (JUSOS Germany) or a Belgian campaign concerning censorship
in Flanders (Animo Belgium). In addition I had the chance to
briefly speak about the “Netzwerk gegen Rechts” (Network against
right wing extremism), which was set up by the Socialist Youth
Austria (SJOE) in 2004 and still is very successful.
So far, more than 3000 young people joined the Network and are active in the fight against right wing extremism.
We as SJOE offer several things: concerts (rock against racism), seminars, workshops, exhibitions, meetings with contemporary witnesses, excursions and many materials. We consider that it is absolutely necessary to share our experiences with other organizations as many countries face... » Lire la suite ...

Vienna receives this weekend the first PES activists Forum. “Vienna 2008 – a strong voice for European social democracy” gathers together leading politicians from PES member parties, activists and experts to discuss the outcome of the manifesto2009 campaign. They will draw-up their ideas for a strong campaign for the next European elections.
The opening session of the Forum is scheduled for this afternoon. Tomorrow, Saturday, four parallel sessions will take place on both “Manifesto” and “Campaigning” themes.
During the day, participants will discuss not only the four consultation themes – “Save our World, “New Social Europe”, “Europe in the World” and “European democracy and diversity” – but also other transversal issues such as “Experience in Europe – Cross-border campaign exchanges”, “Strike back on ultraconservative speech”, “Social networking over Internet or “A European dimension in European election campaigns”.
The Forum, organised together with the SPÖ, the Renner Institute and the Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS), will close the PES manifesto consultation.

Not long ago I learned about the PES Group in
the Committee of the Regions. To be honest I didn't know
about the group's existence until a year ago (ignorance is not
always bliss), but it's a forum for local and regional
politicians to meet and discuss EU politics. It's an interesting
organization because many EU decisions impact greatly on the
local level - and the PES Group is a chance for local and
regional social democrats to meet and work together to influence
EU policies.
I admit that this was a digression from the topic that I actually
wanted to address in this post! The reason why I brought up the
PES Group in the Committee of the Regions is that the group has
its own PES manifesto consultation - and in this
consultation there's a fifth point of discussion, in addition to
the four 'traditional' themes - namely the gender dimension.
I agree very much with the view-point of the PES Group - that
there's a significant gender aspect to all four manifesto themes
- and I hope the 'pervasiveness' of gender issues will...

With attempts
to harmonize corporate tax rates being vetoed by states like the UK
and Ireland, the EU Commission wishes to address the tax obstacles
facing companies operating across the Internal Market by
implementing a Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base
(CCCTB).
The CCCTB would mean reducing the cost of working with 27 different national tax systems as they would be able to compute their aggregate profits to a single set of tax rules. The total EU profit would be then apportioned among the countries where the firm is active.
It has established a Working Group to consider first its technical definition and later details of the profit apportioning mechanism. Commissioner Kovacs had plans to bring forward proposals before the end of 2008, but this is now postponed due to the Lisbon Treaty vote in Ireland. The CCCTB will be optional and the Commission will propose its adoption under the enhanced cooperation mechanism failing unanimous agreement.
The Case for CCCTB
The Commission believes that reform of EU corporate taxation is crucial for achieving the goals of the Lisbon agenda... » Lire la suite ...

From a French
perspective, we always believe that Ireland has one of the lowest
taxation systems in Europe, and that one the reasons for the
Irish “no” was the protection of these low taxes.
A couple of days ago (on 26th June), Eurostat published very interesting and useful analysis to draw some comparisons between the different taxations in Europe. Thanks to this survey, we discovered that Ireland had now the highest implicit tax rate on capital amongst the 27 European countries: 42.5% in 2006, compared to 27.1% in 1996. In France for instance, this implicit tax rate on capital is “only” 41.5%... This proved once again that we, French people, should sometimes be more open minded and work at revamping our “idées préconçues”.
The survey also shows large spreads between taxation rates in Europe: on capital, the range of implicit taxation is between 8.4% in Estonia, and 42.5% in Ireland. On labour, it is between 21.5% in Malta and 44.2% in Sweden.
We strongly believe... » Lire la suite ...

While reading
the contributions submitted by several PES member parties or by
different NGOs I have noticed something that I thought has
disappeared. What is that exactly? The desire to
change the world, to ask ourselves what is wrong and, thus, to
think about improving the current situation.
We are far away from living in a perfect world and sometimes it can be difficult to imagine that thousands or millions of people are starving, getting incurable diseases, people who don’t have access to the basic survival needs, not to talk about the lack of education.
Europe is far from having resolved its own problems but the power of our political (social and economic) Union resides in the value of solidarity. Countries and regions have been reconstructed based on this solidarity, people have known prosperity and wealth, the living conditions have improved and no one can say otherwise. People from countries like Ireland, Greece, Spain, and Portugal know what I’m talking about… Solidarity is difficult when this means giving a bite of your wealth but you always have to remember that this is what EU is all about:... » Lire la suite ...

The European
Network of Social Democratic Foundations (ENSoF) became very
involved in the PES Manifesto consultation, coordinating research
with their 16 member organizations. They started in January 2008
with a preparatory workshop in Vienna and since then successively
held four further workshops in Sofia, Athens, Paris and Rome – one on each of the
core themes. Debating the draft papers with MEPs and other experts
in Brussels on May 29, ENSoF finally delivered a very comprehensive
booklet as their contribution to the PES
Manifesto consultation.
The scientific yet political approach of the foundations to the most important issues on the European agenda undoubtedly represents a unique enrichment to the consultation process. Having done extensive analytical research, ENSoF also presented a number of concrete proposals on “Europe in the world”, “European Democracy and Diversity”, “Save our Planet” and “New Social Europe”. Here is just a small selection:
