Les instances. Quand le lobby automobile veut imposer le casque aux cyclistes. Le débat revient chaque été aussi sûrement que les fruits gorgés de soleil, avec le Tour de France. "Et toi, tu ne portes pas de casque sur ton vélo ? " La réponse fuse : "Ben non, pourquoi, tu conduis si mal que ça ? " Bouche bée assurée. Faut-il vraiment obliger les cyclistes à porter un casque ? Le sujet, qui agite en ce moment la Belgique et l’Espagne, est plus complexe qu’il n’y paraît. Molles contre dures. Or, toutes les observations le confirment : plus il y a de cyclistes, moins il y a d’accidents. Distribution gratuite de casques. Mais pourquoi le lobby automobile s’intéresse-t-il donc autant à la tête des cyclistes ? Signaler ce contenu comme inapproprié. EPFSF : European Parliamentary Financial Services Forum.

Esf_agree_trade_inv_e.pdf (Objet application/pdf) List of meetings with European Services Forum in 2012 - a Freedom of Information request to Trade (TRADE) - AsktheEU.org. Business-Managed Government - Trade in Services - Business Coalitions - European Services Forum (ESF) Business-Managed Government Leon Brittan was so pleased with the job that the Financial Leaders Group (FLG) did in jump-starting the stalled talks that he invited Andrew Buxton (pictured), chair of Barclays Bank and President of the British Bankers Association, to form a European services network to promote further progress in the more general services area.

Brittan noted: ‘A similar effort will be needed for the next Round of service liberalisation negotiations.’ The European Services Forum (ESF) was formed in 1998 (originally called the European Services Network) to provide private sector advice and information directly to the EU’s WTO negotiators. Its formation was supported by CEOs of leading European corporations and federations as well as Europe’s major employer association UNICE. Buxton was the first chair of the ESF. Modus Operandi ESF is an official member of the EU delegation at WTO conferences, as well as being a registered NGO at the same conferences. Tiered Structure Links. At your service: the European Services Forum’s privileged access to the EU Commission.

The Brussels Business, now shown in theatres and on television throughout Europe, reveals how the European Commission served the interests of European service companies years ago. How are things today? Internal documents reveal the privileged access that the EU Commission grants global service players such as Deutsche Bank, IBM and Vodafone to its trade policy-making. Banded together in an influential lobby group, the European Services Forum (ESF), these big companies receive regular detailed and exclusive briefings on the EU’s free trade negotiations from key EU trade negotiators. The Commission’s trade department (DG Trade) even seems to grant ESF member companies access to sensitive negotiating texts. There are also strong indications that the Commission has been paying the travel costs of ESF staff and members to attend business summits abroad. High-ranking Commission officials have repeatedly assured the ESF that they are “enthusiastic in working with the ESF”.

Link. Le Public Système. Qui sommes-nous ? Le collectif Regards Citoyens est une association constituée de citoyens de tous âges et régions qui se sont rencontrés sur Internet dans un désir commun de proposer un accès simplifié au fonctionnement de nos institutions démocratiques à partir des informations publiques. Le collectif s’est formé début Juillet 2009 à l’initiative de 3 de ses cofondateurs et de Brice Person qui quitte le collectif après 3 ans d’intense investissement pour se consacrer à de nouveaux projets : Nous nous sommes rapidement vus rejoints par d’autres citoyens de choc ! En juin 2010, le collectif s’est constitué en association régie par la loi de 1901 avec les statuts consultables en ligne sur ce lien. Par souci de transparence, l’intégralité des comptes de fonctionnement de l’association est publié et mis-à-jour régulièrement sur NosDonnées.fr.

Vous pouvez retrouver certains d’entre nous à divers moments de la journée sur notre canal IRC #RegardsCitoyens accessible par exemple via un client webchat. Envoyer des commentaires.
