European Union President Herman Van Rompuy has taken a message of support to Kyiv and the interim Ukrainian government.The day after referenda were held in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in the east, self-appointed separatist leaders there were calling for Russian troops and annexation by Moscow.“The Geneva joint statement on initial concrete steps to deescalate tension and restore security must be implemented. It is urgent that Russia call upon the armed separatists to lay down their weapons and to vacate the buildings they are illegally occupying,” said Van Rompuy.Interim Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk insisted he would only speak with the legitimate concerned parties in the crisis.“We support the format of negotiations only if they are attended by Ukraine, EU, USA and Russia,” he insisted, adding that he wanted a roundtable dialogue with all legitimate interested parties in the east.Moscow has consistently said the groups that seized power in Kyiv in late February are illegitimate, yet on Monday evening the foreign ministry said Europe should respect the results of the votes in Donetsk and Luhansk.Along with the EU, the White House on Monday also dismissed the referenda as “illegal”, and said the United States would not recognise the results.   Less

Trabaja en la toma de decisiones en el corazón de la Unión Europea. Un mediador entre los cada vez más euroescépticos, en uno de los periodos de mayor dificultad en la historia reciente de la Unión. Herman Van Rompuy, el presidente del Consejo Europeo nos acompaña en Global Conversation. Isabelle Kumar, euronews:Usted está aquí en Alemania, dónde acaba de recibir el premio Carlomagno, un prestigioso galardón para quienes han luchado por la unidad europea. Resulta un poco irónico ¿no? que usted reciba este premio cuando Europa parece abocada a partirse en dos. Como una de las tres cabezas de la Unión Europea ¿qué parte de responsabilidad asume dada la situación que estamos viendo ahora?Herman Van Rompuy, presidente del Consejo Europeo:“En la Unión Europea las cosas irán bien en la medida en la que se garantice la paz, tenemos problemas en nuestras fronteras, pero no dentro de la Unión Europea porque todavía somos el mayor projecto de paz en la historia de la humanidad. ¿Por qué recibo el premio Carlomagno en este periodo turbulento de eurohostilidad, de euronegatividad, de euroescepticismo? No debemos olvidar que incluso después de las elecciones europeas, el 70% de los europarlamentarios son eurodiputados de partidos que están a favor del proyecto europeo.euronews:¿Significa eso que más del 25 por ciento están en contra, algo que no había sucedido nunca en la historia de la Unión Europea?Herman Van Rompuy:“No, pero usted debe respetar la proporcionalidad porque todavía hay una abrumadora mayoría de gente a favor, eurodiputados que están por el proyecto europeo. Es cierto que la minoria de antieuropeos nunca había sido tan importante como ahora, pero no se trata de un grupo homogéneo, hay personas que vienen de la izquierda, de la extrema izquierda, de la derecha, de la extrema derecha….”euronews:Dada la evolución que han tenido en los últimos años, no le preocupa que pueda formar un grupo propio porque la líder de la extrema derecha francesa Marine Le Pen intenta...   Less

Catherine Ashton a sans doute posé pour l’une de ses dernières photos de famille en tant que chef de la diplomatie européenne. Selon toute vraisemblance, elle devrait être remplacée par Federica Mogherini, l’actuelle ministre italienne des Affaires étrangères. Une nomination qui doit être entérinée ce samedi lors d’un sommet européen à Bruxelles.Les dirigeants des Vingt-Huit devront également choisir le successeur d’Herman Van Rompuy à la tête du Conseil européen. Et là aussi, un nom se détache clairement, celui du Premier ministre Polonais Donald Tusk, qui a notamment le soutien de Paris et Berlin. Un représentant d’un pays de l’Europe de l’Est prendrait ainsi la tête de l’une des principales institutions européennes.En dehors de ces nominations, les dirigeants européens débattront des dossiers brûlants du moment, en particulier la crise en Ukraine. Ils pourraient étudier notamment de nouvelles sanctions contre la Russie. Le président ukrainien Petro Porochenko assistera au début   Less

Just over 400 years ago there was an attempt to blow up the house of parliament with dynamite and to destroy our constitution.nnThat was a violent approach, you of course have taken the dull, technocratic approach to all of these things, and indeed what you and your colleagues say time and again. You talk about e-initiative and what yoiu are going to do about employment - but the reality is, nothing in this Union is getting any better.nnIndeed the accounts - I thought it was 18 years in a row the accounts hadn't been signed off for, I'm now told told that it's 19 and you are doing your best to tone down any criticism whatever growth figure you may have, they are pretty anemic, and youth unemployment in the Mediterranean is 50% plus in several states.nnAnd of course you'll notice there is now a rise in opposition - real opposition - and much of it pretty ugly opposition, not stuff that I myself would want to lick hands with.nnIt was three and a half years ago that I got into some trouble by questioning who your tailor was. And they fined me 3,000 euros for doing so. Of course, I clearly was wrong. Look at you today, you are the smart, snappy young man around town.nnBut there's no question that your legitimacy hasn't grown in those three and a half years. In fact neither you, nor the Commission - even the Parliament - none of that connection with ordinary people has got greater. And that is why there is an electoral storm coming. There's something very dramatic that's going to happen in the third week of May next year [2014].nnBut you can stop it. You can stop these dark forces as you see them swarming into this Parliament, by actually admitting, openly, that the time has now come to legitimise, or otherwise, these institutions by holding free and fair referendums in the Member States as to whether your position should even exist.nnBecause the French and Dutch said, Mr Van Rompuy, you shouldn't exist. They vetoed it and yet you continue regardless.nnAre you prepared to sit there and wait for the electoral storm, or would you take the initiative and do your best to legitimise democratically this European Union, or not?nnSECOND ROUND (following Mr Van Rompuy's remarks)nnJust for a moment there it got fun, you got angry with me,, it all became impassioned. That was brilliant, because prior to that it was the usual dirge, wasn't it. It was Mr Van Rompuy talking about a 'single supervisory mechanism', a 'resolution fund'.nnWhat real people are talking about is the lack of jobs, the insanity - as in our case - opening the doors next year to the whole of Romania and Bulgaria. nnSo maybe, Mr van Rompuy, the answer is to ignore my pleas for a referendum and just come out and start attacking me and the eurosceptics and maybe then we'll make it a real European election.nnBut I warn you, the language that you and the rest of the European Commission use is not the way that ordinary people speak, it's not how they feel, and honestly, you sit there in front of that flag behind you: That flag and your position were rejected by the French and Dutch in 2005, you've carried on regardless, you have no legitimacy.nnLet's fight it out on the battleground next May.n.................................................nn• EU Member States:nAustria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Germany, Denmark, Estonia, Spain, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, United Kingdom   Less

European council president Herman Van Rompuy on Wednesday said that that despite concern about its long term future the EU "is still sexy".

Polls continue to show the popularity of the EU at an all-time low. Yet, speaking at the high-profile 'State of the European Union conference in Brussels, Van Rompuy, a self-professed federalist, made a strong defence of the EU. "As long as a club attracts new members it means it is in good shape," said the former Belgian PM said,

His comments came as over 500 business leaders met at the first 'state of the EU' forum at the Egmont palace in Brussels to discuss how to revitalise the European dream.   Less

FOR VERSION WITHOUT MUSIC - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHvTq6Bf_pg nn► European Parliament, Brussels - 24.02.2010 nn► Speaker: Nigel Farage MEP, UKIP, Co-President of the EFD group.nn► Debate: European Council and Commission statements - EU 2020 - Follow-up of the informal European Council of 11 February 2010 nnPresident of the EU Council Herman Van Rompuy and Commisson President Jose Manuel Barroso participated in the debate.nn..................................nnEntire Transcript:nnNigel Farage MEP, Presdient of the EFD Group (Europe of Freedom and Democracy):nnWe were told that when we had a president, we'd see a giant global political figure - the man that would be the political leader for 500 million people. The man that would represent all of us on the world stage. The man whose job was so important that of course you're paid more than President Obama. Well, I'm afraid what we've got was you. And I'm sorry, but after that performance, earlier, that you gave - and I don't want to be rude - but, you know, really, you have the charisma of a damp rag and the appearance of a low-grade bank clerk. And the question that I want to ask - [disruption] - the question that I want to ask is: Who are you? I'd never heard of you; nobody in Europe has ever heard of you. I would like to ask you, president, who voted for you? And what mechanism? Oh, I know democracy is not popular with you lot - [disruptions] - and what mechanism do the peoples of Europe have to remove you? Is this European democracy? Well, I sense though that you're competent and capable and dangerous, and I have no doubt that it's your intention to be the quiet assassin of European democracy and of the European nation states. You appear to have a loathing for the very concept of the existence of nation states - perhaps that's because you come from Belgium, which of course is pretty much a non-country. But since you took over, we've seen Greece reduced to nothing more than a protecorate - Sir, you have no legitimacy in this job, at all, and I can say with confidence, that I can speak on behalf of the majority of the British people in saying: We don't know you, we don't want you and the sooner you're put out to grass, the better. nnJerzy Buzek, President of the European Parliament:nnWell, as you said Mr Presdient, you wouldn't like to be rude, and I, well, I prefer to go ahead with this statement.nn[Joseph Daul here uses the 'blue card' and informs Mr Farage that the UK can leave the EU.]nnMartin Schulz MEP, Presdient of the S&D group (Socialists) on a point of order:nnI'm very disappointed with you, President Buzek. It is not acceptable that in this parliament, that a group chairman not only criticises a president of the council, but calls him a 'wet rag'. I expect you, president, to call this person to order. It's not right that this man should be able to trample on the dignity of this house. It's not just a case of allowing the UK to leave the EU, it would be better for Mr Farage to resign if the EU and the European Parliament are such bad things in his eyes.nnJerzy Buzek:nnThank you president, just as I have said to President Farage preveiously, two months ago, and today I repeat this. These types of addresses which are character assassinations of individuals are inadmissible in the European Parliament and I spoke to Mr Farage about it and I drew his attention to it. Mr Schulz, I'd like to say that this is how I work and that's my way of going about it.nn[Nigel Farage asks for a rebuttal]nnIs it personal statement? The floor is yours.nnNigel Farage:nnYou may not like what I say, but just consider your behaviour - you, after the Irish people in a referendum voted 'no', said that our group, by supporting the 'no' vote, had opened the door to fascism. You said that we had behaved as a group in the parliament, like Hitler and the Nazis in the Reichstag. We've been called by Danny Cohn Bendit, 'Mentally weak'. You know, it can't be one way...nnBuzek intervenes:nnIt is not personal statement, Mr President Farage, it is not personal satemtn. I am very sorry, it was not personal statement. We must keep order and all the regulations of our parliament.nnENDn..................................nn► Video: European Parliament Audio Visualnn..................................nn► EU Member States:nnAustria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Germany, Denmark, Estonia, Spain, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, United Kingdom   Less
