MEP Meeting 02/03/2021

Draft agenda

Recurring items

Delegation weekly plan
Delegation work in progress

Admin/HR/Organisational

  • public and in camera items
    • internal meeting minutes should be disregarded and sensitive items should discussed in camera
    • strong positions to be paraphrased
    • process of verification necessary before publication – approval of the meeting minutes at the beginning of each MEP meeting.
  • mobile phone purchase
    • intention to buy a new phone for Tomáš Polák has been approved
  • "harmonized telephone number for seniors' helpline"

    • Parliamentary question to be drafted by Zuzka based on the one pager provided by Marcel
    • Group’s support to be discussed
  • IT survey to be finalised this week

Policy/PR/Coordination

  • split votes CULT report possible: 71 signatures needed by Friday, request to be sent on behalf of Marcel
    - Art. 57 to be removed
    - Art. 59 to be rephrased. Wording to be shared with the advisor responsible and sent to MEPs prone to supporting it before sending it to the whole Parliament.
    -Art. 58 to be rephrased
    - Art. 63 to be approved

Problematic- split vote material
- 57 Welcomes the sixth evaluation of the Code of Conduct on Countering Illegal Hate Speech Online and the progress made in removing online hate speech; regrets the fact, however, that while the average rate of notifications reviewed within 24 hours remains high (81 %), it has fallen since 2020 (90.4 %), and the average removal rate has fallen to 62.5 % since 2019 and 2020; urges the Commission to continue its cooperation with platforms to eliminate hate speech online and to make improvements on removal rates, transparency and feedback to users
 
It promotes the  Code of Conduct on Countering Illegal Hate Speech Online, which however relies on moderation from the platforms instead of a judicial assessment of potential hate speech and that's why you voted earlier against promoting it when the opportunity presented itself in a form of a split vote. In this light, the enthusiasm for removals here could be problematic.
 
- 59. Observes that English is prevalent in the development, deployment and use of AI, including content filters; warns that online hate speech is also practised in other languages, whose content filters are less effective; calls for measures to fight hate speech in all languages
  - Let's improve upload filters?

Other points - MEPs opinion?
- 58. Expresses its concern about the spread of AI- and algorithm-enabled hate speech and disinformation that includes racial and discriminatory content; notes that hate speech and disinformation cause immediate disruption to our societies; calls for efforts to counter such activities, in particular by designing dedicated AI and algorithms with the ultimate goal of stemming the tide of hate speech and disinformation and mitigating its repercussions;

 - 'ultimate goal' doesn't sound a million miles away from 'eradicating' hate speech and disinfo

-no automation of fighting hate speech

MEP Meeting 08/03/2021
Draft agenda
Recurring items

• Approval of minutes from the last meeting https://nextcloud.pp-eu.eu/index.php/s/QnpistFGnMzyKti
o removal of link to editable document (Stella to flag to admin APAs)
o MEP contact sheet: Add info that personal phone numbers are only to be called by MEPs. (Stella to flag to Katka)

• Delegation weekly plan
• Delegation work in progress

Admin/HR/Organisational
Policy/PR/Coordination

• Data Act
o input for the CZ government position
 very early stage: committees have not yet been attributed
 Frank (Team Patrick) preparing some input by Wednesday
 focus on implications for privacy, need to make sure it doesn‘t affect existing framework, no new legal bases for sharing personal data. No opening up of definition of personal data (esp mixed data sets). Open software and open data provisions need to be checked too.
 Digital WG (Wed 15:00) will discuss Data Act group priorities
 Zuzana to forward these bullet points to CZ gov & delegation.

• Follow-up signatures for split vote: How to improve for the future?
o Need to ensure supporting MEPs are not discouraged for future attempts.
o Conslusuions 1) High thresold (71 signatures) is difficult to meet. 2) started collection too late, should start earlier.
 Texts should be checked 2 weeks before plenary, so we can start collecting 1 week before deadline. Sending to all MEPs immediately. Trying to get a non-delegation MEP on board for help collecting; also try to get other group MEPs to help collecting. Need to assess feasibility of achieving 71 signatures earlier, to not waste resources.
 Availability of reports usually on short notice before plenary. For committee voted reports, this might be an option. Zuzana usually sends texts Monday before plenary. Checking needs a couple of days (MEP meeting on Wednesday, usually). MEPs should react more quickly once texts are sent for checking. Waiting for MEP meeting is not timely enough. Could consider subjective importance of texts for PP Delegation, parallel to objective importance for others (CULT INIs might not be as important as legislative files).
 Also need to consider support within group early on. If no majority in own group expectable, should re-assess.
 If all MEPs are unvailable for Monday meeting, could consider having not all of them present in urgent cases.

• New committees: Membership application? Deadline Wednesday 15:00.

o Covid Special Committee
 Mikulas considering
o INGE 2 Special Committee
 Marketa applied (full membership)
o PEGASUS Inquiry Committee
 Marcel considering, indicated to Group
 Marketa applied (substitute membership)
o Need to clarify if two Pirates can join Pegasus. Marcel to talk to Marketa.

• Cooperation with the Czech Pirates in Gov

• EU Covid Certificate
o debate starting on whether we want to extend it
o we expect the extension proposal to be negotiated by LIBE again
o Exchange:
 Covid Certificate as facilitator for freedom of movement in EU. Extension makes sense as long as MS impose travel restrictions. Once measures are abandoned, certificate no longer needed.
 Patrick: agree.
 Mikulas: extension acceptable as long as global pandemic exists (also considering third-countries using it).
 Zuzana to flag future discussions in group to delegation. Last week’s exchange was quite restricted, not much room for debate. Group position unclear.

• CZ PRES - follow up to cooperation proposal

• PPCZ Bureau Debrief

Any other business
• CULT Report on the role of culture, education, media and sport in the fight against racism (2021/2057(INI)), Zuzana to flag text again for votes prep

a political agreement reached, we have Green Rapporteurship in EMPL (+FEMM). The mandate might also be challenged by right-wing parties, and then we will have to vote on it at the April Plenary.
trilogue to start shortly after with the FR Presidency, but this file will probably also land with the Czech Presidency.
Talk on the proposal - your thoughts and is this something the Czech Presidency would prioritise?
It contains also some elements on privacy and data protection vs transparency on the pay gap and wage - your expertise
talk 28/3-1/4
Mikuláš to take the meeting with Kira (to be arranged by Zuzka)

Transition of coal regions - demand for cooperation from Ska
have been working on the topic of lignite coal mining and transition of coal regions, now approached by a regional green NGO on the topic of connecting the regions of Lusatia (south Brandenburg with a lot of lignite coal mining) with Prague via Liberec by train.
This way to both bypass the Dresden-Prague Trainline (being too much used) as well as establishing an international connection for Lusatia in order to help the transition.
Are the Pirates in the EP already working on this issue. And which MEP would be responsible for Liberec Region? Possible cooperation on this issue.
