7 October 2014 14:39

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: If approved, I will begin consultations so that within a year we have a ist of regulations that should be withdrawn

7 October 2014 14:41

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: The European Commissioners should work directly with national parliaments

7 October 2014 14:42

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: I will propose an inter-institutional agreement on lobbying

7 October 2014 14:43

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: I will use all the instruments at our disposal to ensure the rule of law. The failure of one is bad image to all of us

7 October 2014 14:51

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: If you were with me this time last year on #Maidan you would have seen how much Europe does inspire people. But in the same time it irritates with regulation

7 October 2014 14:57

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: I will not compromise with human rights. There is no cultural context that justifies human rights violations. All member states have all signed the charter. I will simply hold them to the commitments they made

7 October 2014 15:01

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: I wouldn't rush with Treaty change at this stage because I'm well aware of the problems last time

7 October 2014 15:15

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: I don't see a problem the fiscal compact to be incorporated into the European legislation

7 October 2014 15:16

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: I can assure you that my attitude (toward #Hungary) will be of commitment in the search of a solution in a spirit of dialogue. I will not hesitate to use all the means at the disposal of the Commission

7 October 2014 15:21

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: What has been agreed by the #Troika brought many economic benefits to #Greece. It's true that many people suffer, but the Troika's plan is based on the Treaties and the community legislation. I believe that it will be necessary when agreeing future measures we should take into account social impact. I cannot say that the Troika or Greece violated the human rights

7 October 2014 15:25

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: I will not support a separate parliament for the euro area

7 October 2014 15:39

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: I cannot assure you that we will never again have legislation like the one on oil cans

7 October 2014 15:41

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans believes the problems in #Hungary should be resolved via dialogue. So far the Commission has achieved success

7 October 2014 15:46

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: If dialogue with #Hungary does not deliver we will proceed with other measures, like infringement procedures all the way done to Article 7 if necessary

7 October 2014 15:53

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: The right of gay marriages is part of human rights

7 October 2014 15:59

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: You cannot expect me to be some sort of a sheriff and to force people to things

7 October 2014 16:00

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: Had it not been for the #Spitzenkandidaten then this Commission would have never seen the light of day here. That is an example of democratic renewal. Once it's there it's very difficult to undo that

7 October 2014 16:05

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: As soon as the eurozone regroups the question of single representation in international institutions will arise

7 October 2014 16:10

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: The EU is not a prison. If a member state wants to leave it has a right to

7 October 2014 16:11

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: Those were necessary reforms in #Greece. They are not something the #Troika and the government planned to harm the Greeks

7 October 2014 16:14

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: Given the diversity in Europe there is always someone to blame - Jews, gays, gypsies. The way we've learned that it's bad to kill, we should learn that it's bad ti discriminate

7 October 2014 16:25

Adelina Marini Тимерманс: Трябва да бъдем честни и в страните-членки. Често обвиняваме европейското законодателство, но има случаи, когато страните-членки изискват от ЕК конкретно законодателство

7 October 2014 16:28

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: We should be honest in the member states as well. Often we blame European legislation but how many times the member states demand the Commission to come up with specific legislation??

7 October 2014 16:29

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: The fact that a member state is constantly in the news doesn't mean we should pay more attention to it than to others that, too, violate the rule of law. We should be meticulously impartial in applying the rules

7 October 2014 16:38

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: We don't need new things but only political will to apply on we have on the table. The coming years will be a huge test for the member states' resolve to stick to their commitments

7 October 2014 16:39

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: The biggest enemy of the promotion of human rights is what-about-ism. This happened often in my meetings with Russian FM Lavrov. Every time I raise an issue in Russia, he'd tell me "What about France or the Netherlands?"

7 October 2014 17:08

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: The European project is in danger if we don't pay attention to our citizens

7 October 2014 17:10

Adelina Marini #EPhearings2014 #Timmermans: If we don't change the way we work, these institutions will remain in the Brussels bubble but too far from the European citizens

Today is a #Eurogroup day with two hot issues on the agenda. The first is #Greece's exit from the bailout programme. The other will take place in an expanded EU-format as it deals with the completion of the banking union and the reform of the #ESM. Although not on the agenda officially, another hot issue is the new government in Italy. Yesterday, President Sergio Mattarella gave Giuseppe Conte a mandate to form a coalition government between the populist M5S and the eurosceptic Lega. Stay tuned for live updates
