DESCRIPTION:MEP Assita Kanko is hosting a conference on freedom of expression with guests; Ayaan Hirsi Ali\, writer and activist\, and the philosopher\, Pascal Bruckner. The event will delve into topics such as freedom of thought and action\, wokeness\, cancel culture\, Islam\, human rights\, identity and European values. \nTwenty years ago\, Ayaan Hirsi Ali had to go into hiding because of her political views\, and she still has to be guarded to this day. Recently\, another journalist in France received death threats and went into hiding. Nothing has improved or changed in all these years. Even worse\, the extremists killed innocent victims in bloody attacks all over Europe\, and even teachers and journalists were killed by them in cold blood. What can and will we do about this? Is it time for a stronger voice of opposition\, time for action? \nSilencing \nAyaan Hirsi Ali is a famous and controversial human rights activist\, former politician and professor in the US. She has been under protection for twenty years because of her statements in the Netherlands about Islam and the rights of Muslim women. She now works from America and fights for freedom of speech and human rights. Hirsi Ali and Kanko recognise much in each other’s views and ambitions. Both are committed to human rights\, experience freedom of speech as the oxygen of democracy and will not be silenced by intolerance and fundamentalism. \n Bruckner \nAlso on the programme is the presentation by the well-known French philosopher and writer Pascal Bruckner on freedom\, cancelculture\, racism and terror. \nProgramme: \n\n11:30: Welcome and coffee with snacks \n12:00: Introduction by Pascal Bruckner\, philosopher and writer\n12:15: Interview Ayaan by MEP Kanko \n13:15: Q&A session \n13:45: conclusion\n14:00: Reception URL:https://ecrgroup.eu/event/freedom_of_speech_who_dares_anymore/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ecrgroup.eu/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Eposte-31May-version011024_1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20220518T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20220518T110000 DTSTAMP:20260929T221638Z CREATED:20220512T125500Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260929T221638Z UID:8909-1652866200-1652871600@ecrgroup.eu SUMMARY:With open hearts DESCRIPTION:Relief efforts of Central and Eastern Europe to the humanitarian crisis caused by the Russian war against Ukraine. \nOn Wednesday 18 May 2022\, MEP Anna Fotyga\, ECR Spokesperson for Foreign Affairs\, will host the conference “With open hearts. Relief efforts of Central and Eastern Europe to the humanitarian crisis caused by the Russian war against Ukraine” in room ASP 6 B54. \nThe Russian war with Ukraine has forced millions of people to leave their homes in search of safety elsewhere in the country or in neighbouring countries. It is estimated that over 7.7 million people are internally displaced and over 5.5 million have crossed the borders to reach neighbouring countries. The Russian invasion of 24 February sparked the worst humanitarian crisis in Europe in decades. \nPanellists \n\nMEP Anna Fotyga\, ECR spokesperson for Foreign Affairs\nH.E.

Albania\, Bosnia and Herzegovina\, North Macedonia\, Montenegro\, Kosovo and Serbia all have a prospect to join the European Union. The summit will focus on the issues of foreign interference and disinformation\, and the processes of EU enlargement and integration as opportunities for countries in the region to face up to current challenges – all this in the context of the ongoing debate on the future of Europe. \nThe first panel will carry out a general assessment of the state of play with regards to foreign interference and disinformation. Situated at the geopolitical crossroads between Europe and Asia\, the Western Balkan countries are prone to being exposed to foreign disinformation campaigns due to the overlapping interests of external powers. The region is constantly facing explicit acts of political pressure from countries like Russia\, China\, Iran and others. Any attempt to destabilise today’s fragile political balance poses a threat not only to the Western Balkans\, but to the EU as well. \nIn the second panel\, experts will discuss EU enlargement as an opportunity to overcome the challenges faced by the region. The Western Balkans are undeniably an integral part of Europe – culturally\, historically and geographically. On the other hand\, years after the first countries applied for EU accession\, the process has stalled. What are the main obstacles? What benefits would come of granting EU membership to the Western Balkan countries? What would be the impact on the future of Europe\, in terms of geopolitics and security\, economy\, culture and demography? \nSpeakers will try to define the role that Western Balkans countries might play in the future of Europe. \nEurope is not just the European Union\, and nor should these two terms be used synonymously. The ECR Group believes that we should use the opportunity offered by the Conference on the Future of Europe to make the voice of all Europeans heard. \nLive-streamed in English\, on the ECR Group’s YouTube and Twitter channels\, the broadcast will feature ECR Group Co-Chairmen Prof Ryszard Legutko and Raffaele Fitto; President of the ECR Institutional Policy Working Group Prof Zdzisław Krasnodębski; ECR MEPs Angel Dzhambazki\, Lars Patrick Berg\, Assita Kanko and Ladislav Ilcic; and distinguished guests: Ms Majlinda Bregu\, Secretary General of the Regional Cooperation Council and former Minister of European Integration of Albania; Mr Haki Abazi MP Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo\, Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora; and Ms Zorka Kordić\, Chief Negotiator for the EU Accession of Montenegro. \nProgramme \nOpening: Tuesday 29 March @ 16:30 CET \n\nECR Co-Chairman Raffaele Fitto MEP\nProf Zdzisław Krasnodębski MEP\, Chair of the ECR Working Group on Institutional Reform\nMr Angel Dzhambazki MEP\, Chair\, ECR Working Group on Western Balkans\n\nPanel I: ‘Foreign interference and disinformation in the Western Balkans’ \nIntroductory remarks \n\nMs Zorka Kordić\, Chief Negotiator for the EU Accession of Montenegro\nMr Angel Dzhambazki MEP\, Chair\, ECR Working Group on Western Balkans\n\nExpert discussion \n\nMr Milan Jovanović\, Analyst\, Digital Forensic Research Center\, Montenegro\nMr Drizan Shala\, National Security Expert\, Institute for the Rapprochement of Inter-Ethnic Relations in Kosovo\nMs Dominika Cosić\, journalist and author\, TVP correspondent in Brussels\nMr Lars Patrick Berg MEP\nMr Angel Dzhambazki MEP\, Chair\, ECR Working Group on Western Balkans\n\nPanel II: ‘EU enlargement process as an opportunity to counter the challenges in the Western Balkans’: Wednesday 30 March @ 10:00 CET \nIntroductory remarks \n\nMs Majlinda Bregu\, Secretary General\, Regional Cooperation Council\nProf Zdzisław Krasnodębski MEP\, Chair of the ECR Working Group on Institutional Reform\n\nExpert discussion \n\nDr Anton Panchev\, Department of Balkan Studies\, Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”\nMr Haki Abazi MP\, Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora\, Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo\nMr Gjergji Vurmo\, Program Director\, Institute for Mediation and Democracy\, Albania\nMs Assita Kanko MEP\, Member of the European Parliament Foreign Affairs Committee\, ECR Shadow Rapporteur on Albania\nMr Ladislav Ilcić MEP\, Member of the European Parliament Delegation for relations with Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo\n\nClosing remarks: Wednesday @ 11:15 CET \n\nECR Co-Chairman Prof Ryszard Legutko\, MEP\nProf Zdzisław Krasnodębski MEP\, Chair of the ECR Working Group on Institutional Reform\nMr Angel Dzhambazki MEP\, Chair\, ECR Working Group on Western Balkans\n\nThe show will be hosted by Milena Milotinova\, presenter of the “Brussels 1 TV Show”\, BULGARIA ON AIR TV.

Current State and the Way Forward \nNow\, when Ukraine is facing a full-scale aggression by the Russian Federation\, it is pertinent to focus once more on the details of the events of 2008. Batu Kutelia and Vasil Sikharulidze\, who were at the helm of the Ministry of Defence in 2008\, and are some the most credible witnesses of these events\, prepared a report in which they combined their political experience\, personal courage and analytical skills. \nThe French Presidency\, but also the collective West\, should draw conclusions from the 2008 War and ceasefire negotiations in order to unconditionally and permanently stop the Russian aggressor. \nPlease join us on Wednesday 23rd March 2022 at 14h00 to discuss the report: The French EU Council Presidency\, European Security\, and the EU Mediated Georgian-Russian Cease-Fire Agreement of 2008. Current State and the Way Forward. \nThe presentation of the report will be web-streamed on Twitter.

This was an example of the now infamous “Russian Way of War” which the world is now watching with horror\, as this infamous strategy is exposed in all of its sickening brutality in Ukraine today. In the case of the Circassians\, once the largest ethnic group in the northern Caucasus\, this extermination was so complete that few today know this nation even existed. \nGenerations after the loss of their primordial homeland and hundreds of thousands of their men\, women and children to the Russian invaders\, the Circassians of today are fighting for the right to return to their beloved mountain homeland. In 2011\, lawmakers in Georgia recognized the mass deportation and killing of ethnic Circassians by Tsarist Russia as genocide. Every year on May 21st\, the surviving Circassians commemorate the Circassian Genocide. Please join us for a discussion on this genocide that has been kept hidden for decades and sadly removed the name of the ancient Circassians from most of the world’s conscience. We will have a panel of experts\, historians\, journalists and politicians to discuss this Tsarist era “Special Military Operation” from its origins in the extermination of the Circassians in their lost sacred town of Sochi (later used for Putin’s showcase of Russian nationalism in the winter Olympics) to the sickening massacres of Bucha\, Mariuopol and elsewhere in Ukraine today. \nPanellists: \nFatima Tlis is a Voice of America journalist in Washington\, D.C. Fatima helped found the VOA anti-disinformation site Polygraph.info. Polygraph launched in 2016 with a focus on Russia\, though the site now covers China and oppressive regimes in other parts of Asia\, Latin America\, Africa and the Mideast.

In 2007\, the United States granted Fatima asylum after series of threats and attacks on her by Russian security services. Fatima was actively involved in the initiative that led to the recognition of the Circassian Genocide by Georgia. \nJanusz Bugajski is a Senior Fellow at the Jamestown Foundation in Washington DC.

Most of the dumping episodes occurred following the end of the World Wars when unused war stocks required disposal. These hazards did not evaporate deep below the surface of the seawater. They still affect the Baltic Sea\, the North Sea\, the Adriatic Sea\, but also Atlantic coast of the United States\, Canada and continue to be a source of concern for Australia or Japan. Conventional and chemical weapons threaten human life and the marine environment. They endanger fishing and navigation\, impeding the development of offshore energy\, aquaculture\, shipping\, tourism and other sectors of the blue economy. \nIn this panel we will assess the legal framework and global attempts to tackle the problem of the conventional and chemical munitions dumped in the seas and oceans. \nSpecial remarks \n\nTerrance P. Long\, CEO\, International Dialogues on Underwater Munitions\, Canada\n\nModerator \n\nAssita Kanko\, ECR MEP\, Belgium\n\nSpeakers \n\nFredrik Haag\, Head of the Office for the London Convention/Protocol and Ocean Affairs\, International Maritime Organization\, UK\nCDR Herman Lammers\, Director\, NATO Naval Mine Warfare Centre of Excellence\, Belgium\nDr. Margo Edwards\, Director\, Applied Research Laboratory\, University of Hawaii\, USA\nCapt. (N) Prof. Bartłomiej Pączek\, Dean\, Faculty of Command and Maritime Operations\, Polish Naval Academy\, Poland\n\nPanel II: Unexploded ordnance and chemical residues in the Baltic Sea – the state of play and call for further actions @ 12:30 CET \nAs a consequence of World War II dozens of tons of munitions and chemical weapons were sank in the Baltic Sea\, which now experts consider to be one of the most polluted seas in the world. Due to inter alia incomplete documentation on the number and places of dumps\, it is impossible to determine the exact amount of the chemical munitions lying on the seabed\, containing toxic substances\, such as mustard gas\, and representing a serious hazard to the environment and to the people. Apart from the munitions itself\, there are also hundreds of shipwrecks which progressive corrosion creates a risk of leakage of fuel\, petroleum products and poisonous warfare agents. This may cause an ecological disaster and poison large areas of the Baltic Sea. \nPanellists will present the most current knowledge on unexploded ordnance\, munitions and chemicals lying on the bottom of the Baltic Sea\, and propose the most effective and economically viable solutions. They will also suggest what course of action should the EU Institutions\, Member States\, science\, private sector and other stakeholders take to solve this problem. \nSpecial remarks \n\nAmbassador Vaidotas Verba\, Head of Mission of the Republic of Lithuania to the International organizations in Vienna\n\nModerator \n\nAnna Fotyga\, ECR Foreign Affairs Spokesperson\, Poland\n\nSpeakers \n\nIglika Yakova\, Deputy Head of Unit A3\, Sea-basin strategies\, maritime regional cooperation and maritime security\, DG MARE\, European Commission\nAmbassador Grzegorz M. Poznański\, Director General\, Council of the Baltic Sea States Secretariat\, Sweden\nProf. Paula Vanninen\, Director\, Finnish Institute for Verification of the Chemical Weapons Convention\, University of Helsinki\, Finland\nProf. Jacek Bełdowski\, Institute of Oceanology\, Polish Academy of Sciences\, Poland\n\nPanel III: Research and innovative technologies as economically viable solutions @ 14:30 CET \nExperts and stakeholders agree that disposal of old conventional and chemical weapons\, lying in the seas and oceans\, is a necessity. Changing ocean temperatures\, salinity and density levels are having an unknown effect on the dumped munitions. As human use of the sea for energy\, aquaculture and other resources expands\, tackling munitions in the seas is becoming an increasingly pressing issue. Views on how to deal with this threat are divided and engineers\, scientists\, policymakers and financiers are currently debating the best strategies for safely destroying the weapons. Some experts insist that the munitions should be left where they are\, but that they should be properly secured against leakage and corrosion\, others argue it should be removed or neutralised\, ia. bioremediation. \nPanellists will discuss and present some of the environmentally-friendly and cost-effective solutions for controlling and cleaning the pollution emerging from the dumped munitions. \nModerator \n\nKosma Złotowski\, ECR MEP\, Poland\n\nSpeakers \n\nAnna Lutek\,Director of PR and Communications\, Enea Group\, Poland\nClaus Böttcher\, Ministry for Energy Transition\, Agriculture\, Environment\, Nature and Digitization of Schleswig-Holstein\, Coordinator of the Knowledge Hub “Munitions in the Sea”\nCharles Diggs\, CEO\, Dynasafe \, USA\nŁukasz Porzuczek\, CEO\, GeoFusion Group\, Poland \n\nClosing remarks @ 15:45 CET \n\n Anna Fotyga\, ECR Foreign Affairs Spokesperson\, Poland\n\nYou can follow the live broadcast on YouTube (EN & PL) or on Twitter.

Although disliked by the Ustaše and the German Nazis for his righteousness\, after World War II\, Cardinal Stepinac was trialled by the communist Yugoslav government and convicted of treason and collaboration with the Ustaše regime. Cardinal Stepinac is known for his actions promoting free and independent Croatia\, but also for his struggle to save the lives of many Croats\, Serbs and Jews. On 3rd October 1998 Cardinal Stepinac was declared a martyr and was beatified by Pope John Paul II. \nPart of the “Forgotten Leaders who built our Europe” series by the ECR Group\, this event aims to commemorate the life and deeds of the Croatian Cardinal with a debate\, the screening of a documentary movie “The Incarnated Lie” and the publication of the bilingual booklet “A Victor Over the Incarnated Lie”. \nSpeakers: \n\n Ladislav Ilčić MEP\, Croatia\nCristian Terhes MEP\, Romania\nAlexander Vondra MEP\, Czech Republic (video message)\nDavor Trbušić\, screenplay writer for “The Incarnated Lie”\nMario Jareb\, PhD\, Croatian Institute of History\n\nLive broadcast on the ECR Group YouTube channel URL:https://ecrgroup.eu/event/forgotten_leaders_who_built_our_europe_how_faith_and_freedom_prevailed_over/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20210701T143000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20210701T143000 DTSTAMP:20260929T221714Z CREATED:20210629T141400Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260929T221714Z UID:8708-1625149800-1625149800@ecrgroup.eu SUMMARY:Terrorism in the XXI century - What should the EU do?

The webinar will draw attention to ‘pandemic responses and the health situation’; ‘the influence of global actors on Africa and EU-Africa policies’; ‘the pandemic and its challenges to democracy\, fundamental freedoms and good governance’; and ‘women’s rights and the impact of the pandemic’. \nPandemic responses and the health situation \nCOVID-19 continues to be a severe burden on healthcare systems in Europe as well as in Africa. Many countries are experiencing healthcare product shortages in already often-unprepared healthcare systems. Access to adequate medical equipment is a challenge in low and middle-income countries and is an issue that needs to be jointly considered in preparation for future pandemics. Due to the global health crisis\, humanitarian and development aid has also seen a shift in priorities to adapt to the current situation. By drawing from learned experience of curtailing past pandemics\, a panel of experts will delve into how to best enhance health sector resilience to better manage the ongoing pandemic\, and to prepare for similar health crises in the future. \nSpeakers: \n\nAssita Kanko\, MEP\nBeverley Schäfer\, Deputy Speaker of the Western Cape government\nMountaga Keita\, Founder and Managing Director\, Tulip Industries Ltd\, Guinea\n\nYou can follow this panel on Wednesday 21 April at 16.00 HERE. \nThe influence of global actors\, most notably of China and Russia\, on Africa and EU-Africa policy \nIn many areas\, Africa has become a new arena of great power competition\, both to the detriment of African nations and to EU-Africa relations. There is a need for the EU to send a strong signal to China and Russia as they advance their geopolitical interests at the expense of the sovereignty of African nations and European security. This panel will touch upon the growing Russian and Chinese presence in African states and the rationale behind it\, in addition to how Europe can counter the harms arising from this increasing Russian and Chinese influence in Africa. \nSpeakers: \n\nAnna Fotyga\, MEP\nJoshua Meservey\, Senior Policy Analyst\, Africa & Middle East\, the Heritage Foundation\nSamuel Ramani\, Department of Politics & International Relations\, University of Oxford\n\nYou can follow this panel on Wednesday 21 April at 17.00 HERE. \nWomen’s rights and the impact of the pandemic \nThe COVID-19 pandemic has put women at a greater risk of encountering discrimination\, abuse and violence in both public and private spheres. Now more than ever\, gender equality and women’s rights need to play a key role in the new EU-Africa Strategy in order to meet the the goal of gender equality. This panel will look into how Europe and Africa can best cooperate to ban harmful practices affecting not only women but entire societies. \nSpeakers: \n\nAssita Kanko\, MEP\nJan Goossens\, Director\, Mamas for Africa\nNicolas Indenkleef\, Managing Director\, Eko Business\n\nYou can follow this panel on Thursday 22 April at 16.00 HERE. \nThe pandemic and its challenges to democracy\, fundamental freedoms and good governance \nOpen\, inclusive and accountable governance is fundamental to delivering sustainable development\, tackling global challenges and reducing the risk of instability. However\, the COVID-19 pandemic has triggered several exceptional responses from governments around the world as they seek extraordinary measures to manage these threats. This panel will touch upon the risks that the pandemic poses to democracy\, fundamental freedoms and good governance\, and how these negative impacts can be curbed and taken into account in the future. \nSpeakers: \n\nAnna Fotyga\, MEP\nDriss El Kaissi\, General Consul of Morocco\nProfessor Nicholas Cheeseman\, Democracy and International Development\, University of Birmingham\nJoseph Siegle\, Director of Research\, Africa Center for Strategic Studies\nMvemba Dizolele\, Senior Advisor\, International Republican Institute\n\nYou can follow this panel on Thursday 22 April at 17.00 HERE.

The tour takes the form of a series of live broadcasts from 15 European capitals\, in which citizens of our Member States are consulted.
