Die Einführung der Europäischen Bürgerinitiative (EBI) stellt aus Sicht der ArbeitnehmerInnen eine der wichtigsten Neuerungen des Vertrags von Lissabon dar. Die EBI hat das Potential, die vielfach diagnostizierte Kluft zwischen der EU und ihren BürgerInnen zu mindern.

From the point of view of the employees, the introduction of the European Citizens‘ Initiative (ECI) represents one of the most important innovations of the Treaty of Lisbon. The ECI has the potential to reduce the often diagnosed gulf between the EU and its citizens. In an overall evaluation of the Treaty of Lisbon, the AK too regards its introduction as an important criterion for endorsing the new primary legislation structure of the EU.

The last session of the EU Parliament in this legislative period took place this week. The agenda was peppered with legislative acts, which still had to be voted on. Among these were three, which have a direct socio-political impact. MEPs voted on the Directive on the portability of supplementary pension rights, the Directive on the posting of workers from third countries and on the improved protection of posted EU citizens within Europe.

Die Behauptung, dass die europäische Wirtschaft mittlerweile das Vorkrisenniveau erreicht habe, gilt leider nur für das Bruttoinlandsprodukt und nicht für die BürgerInnen. Beunruhigend ist unter anderem, dass die Eurozone, die derzeit aus 19 EU-Staaten besteht, bei allen oben genannten Kennzahlen sowie dem Wirtschaftswachstum im Vergleich zu den EU-28 weiterhin "hinterherhinkt".

The claim that in the meantime the European economy had reached pre-crisis level, unfortunately only applies to the Gross Domestic Product and not to citizens. One worrying factor among other is that compared to the EU-28, the Eurozone, which currently consists of 19 EU countries, continues to "lag behind" with regard to all indicators mentioned above as well as in respect of economic growth. This can be explained by the fact that in particular non-Euro countries, such as Sweden or Great Britain are currently showing positive economic data.

Von konservativer Seite kam etwa das eher fadenscheinige Argument, dass durch das Führen von Lobbyregistern und die Veröffentlichung von Treffen der Kontakt zwischen einfachen BürgerInnen und Abgeordneten verkompliziert werde - um diese soll es jedoch bei der Regelung gar nicht gehen.

The discussion clearly showed the effort of all groups to stress their commitment for more transparency. However, there some doubts were also expressed. The Conservative side came with the somewhat lame argument that lobby registers and the publication of meetings between ordinary citizens and MEPs would complicate matters - however, the Regulation is not concerned with these. Apart from that, the Draft Report would in many respects go too far: secret negotiations (trilogues, international treaties) might be affected by publishing positions. The counter argument was that these were an obstacle to democratic interests. It should be possible, at least in the aftermath of any meetings, to read the minutes to find out the positions the various participating officials had represented in the negotiations.

As an elected voice of EU citizens, the Parliament used the resolution to set clear priorities: the interests of Europeans should be at the centre of the negotiations - especially the rights of EU citizens, who currently live in the UK and of British Citizens, who are currently resident in the EU27. That being said, the EU should take note that some regions of the United Kingdom voted against Brexit. To remove uncertainties, the status of all these groups needs to be clarified right at the beginning of the negotiations. Commission President Juncker emphasised that people must not be used as bargaining chips.

Seitdem am 1. Jänner 2014 auch BulgarInnn und RumänInnen vollen Zugang zum EU-Arbeitsmarkt bekommen haben sind die Begriffe Sozialtourismus bzw Armutszuwanderung in aller Munde.

Since Bulgarians and Romanians have been granted full access to the EU labour market on 1st January 2014, the terms ‘social tourism’ and ‘poverty immigration’ have been on everybody’ lips. Based on the fundamental right of free movement of persons, the EU grants its citizens the option of living, working or studying anywhere in the European Union. The allegation that the right of free movement of persons would now encourage Bulgarians and Romanians to scrounge benefits in other countries, as claimed by some politicians, triggered a heated debate throughout the EU. However, there has not been any evidence for this so far. The scaremongering by Great Britain proved to be unfounded.

Apart from the revised Posted Workers Directive, the Commission at the end of last year also presented a revision of the coordination of social security systems. This proposal is currently intensively discussed by the European Parliament’s Committee on Employment and Social Affairs (EMPL); after all, it concerns the claim to unemployment benefit, social security benefits for persons in need of long-term care and other social benefits for EU citizens living and working respectively in another Member State.

The European Parliament received Juncker's proposals with mixed reactions. It remains to be seen whether Juncker's wish to reach European citizens with the discussion on Europe's future can be fulfilled. After all it strongly depends on the preferences of the heads of governments of the Member States which scenario will be chosen. They will voice their opinion on 25 March on the occasion of the 60th Anniversary of the Roman Treaties at the latest. France and Germany have already signalled a preference for scenario 3 - a Europe of different speeds. Against the backdrop of the imminent Brexit, one must now also consider and imagine the possible future of the new "Europe of 27".

These shall apply in areas, where EU laws guarantee EU citizens and companies rights, in particular in respect of consumer protection, competition, environmental protection and financial services. The proposal to the Member States contains several principles. According to the European Commission, collective redress shall be fair, just, swift and affordable. It advises against success-related fees; instead organisations that represent claimants should be non-profit making.

Many citizens in the European Union would find it impossible to afford adequate living space. In 2010, about 6 percent of the population did not have any housing space and further 18 percent lived in overcrowded or inferior accommodation. Hence, there would be a social urgency for investments in social housing. 120 million people living in the EU were poor or at risk of poverty and the private housing market was increasingly less able to meet the requirements of this large group. According to Delli, both rents and energy prices were rising strongly.

The EU Parliament used the discussion on the free movement of workers to adopt a resolution in which it expressly rejected the position of some leading politicians in the EU whose intention it is to restrict the free movement of EU citizens. Parliament also notes that prior to the European elections the free movement of EU citizens has become an election campaign issue for some political parties, and that there is the danger that this debate might lead to a rise in racism and xenophobia. In conclusion, the EU Parliament once again pointed out that migrant workers overall make a measureable positive contribution both to the economy and the budget of their respective host country.

However, the contributions of MEPs, who are critical of the free trade agreement, made it clear that in spite of all the efforts, CETA in its current version would not correspond to the requirements of citizens. It was an agreement for large companies, however many values Canada and the EU would share. Among other, they would demand the recognition of all ILO Standards. The negative list approach and the lack of transparency were criticised, as well as the possible backdoor for large US corporations and of course the investment protection. One wanted to have the opportunity to revise parts of the agreement prior to the vote. Karoline Graswander-Hainz (S&D) asked for a "third way" apart from voting Yes or No, hence the ICS/ISDS chapter to be amended.

The Treaty of Lisbon and the economic and financial crisis demand new economic and social policy perspectives for Europe. The mistake must not be repeated that EU policies are predominantly oriented towards location competition and that large parts of the budget are allocated to particular interests such as agriculture. The EU citizens also want to see the realisation of a social Europe. That is why the objectives of the EU 2020 Strategy on employment and combating poverty have to be translated into action, hence they have to be considered in the next EU financial framework.

Also adopted by the EU Parliament was the Directive on intracorporate posting of employees from a third country. This proposal was very controversial as in terms of social rights it does not guarantee the equal treatment of third country members and EU citizens. However, this is an essential point in particular in respect of preventing social and wage dumping. Based on the adopted report, the EU Parliament has now supported the motion that executive and skilled personnel may only be posted to the EU for up to three years, whereas trainees will only be allowed to stay for maximum of one year. Especially large companies made increased use of such postings over the past years. However, many citizens ask themselves why the EU, especially in times of record unemployment, allows companies to bring in posted third country nationals instead of investing in local workers for them to take over the jobs.

On Tuesday, 25 October, the European Commission presented its renewed proposal for a Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base (CCCTB). After the first proposal in 2011 on the EU-wide harmonisation of calculation and consolidation failed in the Council, the Commission made a new attempt concerning a fair taxation of European companies. The proposal aims at those major corporations that engage in cross-border activities. In a press statement, Pierre Moscovici, EU Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs, declares that this is a positive step for European companies and EU citizens. Companies will see a harmonisation of cross-border tax regulations. EU citizens will benefit from the closure of loopholes, which is a contribution to combatting tax evasion.

Csaba Sógor of the European People's Party pointed out that everyone had a right to housing. However, it was also a problem that many people had to spend 50 or 60 percent of their income on accommodation. The Social Democrat MEP Alejandro Cercas emphasised that next to the right of work, the right to housing would be one of the most important issues. According to his knowledge, 150 million EU citizens were faced with housing problems. Many Member States would not even have a housing policy. In agreement with the rapporteur, the Liberal MEP Phil Bennion regards both energy efficiency as well as social aspects as key requirements. So far, unfortunately, the European Commission has not commented on the draft report.

What the Commission thinks of the individual scenarios remains open. Juncker only clearly said that he is not in favour of the second vision: A European Union that only consists of a Common Single Market falls short of its potential. To Juncker Europe is more than just the Euro and a free trade area. In his opinion, Europe also has to have a social dimension. It would now be time for the Commission to listen - to listen to the ideas and expectations of the European Parliament and the national parliaments, the local and the regional municipalities and the civil society. Any dictate from Brussels would only fuel the misguided "Brussels bashing" and the distance of the citizens to European institutions, as Juncker emphasised.

Gender equality was one of the most important tasks to improve the society for women and men for the better, said Eva-Britt Svensson, Chair of the EP's Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality at the beginning of her speech. Institutions at national and at EU level are very important but equally essential is the engagement of citizens or the civil society. She was positive about the gender equality roadmap of the Commission, but said she would miss concrete measures. In particular in connection with a greater participation of women in working life there would be many aspects, which had to be discussed. This would concern issues such as paternity leave, parent and family life, but also the care of the elderly.
