Theresa May et l’article 50 : comme un conte de Noël !

March 31, 2017

23 juin 2016 – 29 mars 2017 : 280 jours pour produire une lettre qui m’inspire une gamme de sentiments allant du sourire à l’incrédulité. Et me confirme – ce dont je n’ai jamais douté – que le Brexit n’aura pas lieu, en tout cas ni dans les délais ou les modalités envisagées. Le Brexit… » read more

Réforme de la Comitologie ou comment désavouer les agences

March 21, 2017

Le projet de réforme de la Comitologie offre à la Commission la possibilité de s’abriter sous le parapluie protecteur des Etats membres. On peut y voir un manque de courage de la Commission qui s’efforce de revenir au système prévalant avant l’adoption du Traité de Lisbonne et qu’elle avait appelé de ses voeux pour accroître… » read more

Biocarburants : une obstination à jouer contre son camp

March 3, 2017

Nous nous sommes élevés contre les déclarations de Mme Donnelly (DG ENER) selon laquelle l’opinion publique étant contre les biocarburants, il convient de s’aligner sur la vox populi, qu’importent les faits. Le rôle de la Commission est d’agir dans l’intérêt général et donc d’informer les citoyens sur la base d’études objectives. C’est à cela que… » read more
