Welcome Statement For Wedding Meeting

Half of French MEPs support our claims!

After the election, a large work camp opens for the French deputies elected to Parliament: the regulation of multinationals. Of the 72 MPs who were elected Sunday, June 7 by the French, 35 of them signed the "Declaration commitment " containing the five proposals for regulating the campaign Holdup .

Beyond Ecology elected in Europe (14 members), PS (14 members) and the Left Front (4 members) who have signed Declaration collectively, support for the campaign are all trends via modem (6 members) and UMP (29 deputies). Many members aware of the impact of multinationals in the South, through the mobilization of our networks over the past three months.

Oxfam France - Agir ici ensure that those MEPs with their European counterparts build broad coalitions in order to regulate the activities of European companies abroad. We will continue to challenge the newly elected parliamentarians to honor their commitments to a Responsible Europe throughout the next term.

From the opening of parliament in Brussels in autumn 2009, the appointment will be many: Revision of EU Directive on taxation of savings, workshops on "social and environmental reporting" business
taking place from September 2009 to March 2010 and should enable the EU to clarify its position to establish, finally, the reporting requirement for companies and penalties for failure to do so.

What can European Union do?

Parliament European
elected every five years, the Parliament is the only EU institution that is elected by universal suffrage. The European elections are a unique opportunity for every citizen to take part in European political debate and to hear his voice. The voting is held in eight constituencies in proportional representation in France and takes place over a single lap. The seats are distributed among the lists receiving more than 5% of the votes cast. Parliament's power has been increased in recent years by extension, in legislation, the co-decision procedure with the Council of the European Union.
The European Union is committed to actively promote sustainable development worldwide. It has the duty not to seek its economic growth at the expense of states and peoples of the South by allowing its corporations to violate the social and economic rights with impunity.

She has the opportunity to undertake actions that we recommend, since the multinationals that have the greatest influence in the world are almost all based in Europe, where well over half of tax havens.

In the absence of an international legal framework for multinational companies, a development of existing provisions may see the light and partly fill the legal vacuum in which companies now surf
