Bienvenue

Bienvenue sur le site internet de l'Assemblée parlementaire euro-latino-américaine.

Je suis Javi López, député au Parlement européen et président depuis septembre 2019 de la composante européenne de l'Assemblée.

Fondé sur une relation parlementaire ancienne ainsi que des valeurs et intérêts communs, le dialogue politique entre l'Union européenne et l'Amérique latine a pris ces dernières années un sens nouveau, dans un contexte marqué par la concurrence entre les grandes puissances. Nous espérons, grâce à notre travail, renforcer encore nos multiples relations politiques, commerciales et culturelles.

L'Europe et l'Amérique latine sont confrontées à des défis communs, tels que la défense à l'échelle mondiale d'un système multilatéral fondé sur le dialogue et le respect des règles, la concrétisation d'une croissance économique réellement inclusive et apte à réduire les inégalités, la lutte contre le changement climatique, qui constitue une réelle menace pour notre mode de vie, la réalisation des objectifs de développement durable, les efforts constants en faveur d'une véritable égalité entre les femmes et les hommes, la poursuite d'une mondialisation équitable, ainsi que le renforcement des institutions et des garanties démocratiques.

Au sein de l'Assemblée EuroLat, les 75 membres du Parlement européen œuvrent aux côtés des 75 membres latino-américains issus des parlements régionaux pour conférer une dimension parlementaire au partenariat stratégique birégional entre l'Union européenne et l'Amérique latine et les Caraïbes et pour évoquer, suivre et examiner toutes ces questions ainsi que les autres sujets présentant un intérêt pour les citoyens d'Europe, d'Amérique latine et des Caraïbes.

C'est pour moi un honneur et une fierté de collaborer avec des collègues issus des deux rives de l'Atlantique, qui s'attachent à encourager les relations birégionales et à achever de transformer l'amitié qui lie nos continents en une indispensable alliance.

Javi López

Président

The meeting of the Delegation to the Euro-Latin American Parliamentary Assembly (DLAT) took place on 7 March 2024 in Brussels. The meeting included an exchange of views on EU-CELAC relations and the activities with Latin America planned under the Belgian presidency of the Council, with the participation of Bernard Quintin, Director General (ad interim) for European Affairs, Federal Public Service for Foreign Affairs, External Trade and Development Cooperation.

This was followed by a discussion with researchers from the Elcano Royal Institute on their new report titled 'Why Does Latin America Matter?' that seeks to dismantle existing narratives on Latin America and the Caribbean.

As the last meeting of this legislature, this meeting was an opportunity to take stock of all the work that DLAT has carried out, the main milestones and achievements, and the opportunities for the next mandate.

The meetings of the Standing Parliamentary Committees of EuroLat took place in the Senate of the Dominican Republic in Santo Domingo from 30 October to 2 November 2023.

The Co-presidents of the EuroLat Assembly, Javi López, president of the Delegation of the European Parliament to the Euro-Latin American Parliamentary Assembly, and Amado Cerrud Acevedo, president of the Latin American component, jointly co-chaired the inaugural session on 31 October, which also featured interventions by Faride Raful, vice president of the Senate; Ricardo De los Santos, president of the Senate; Cristina Reyes, president of Parlandino; Mario Colman, president of Parlasur; Silvia Giacoppo, president of Parlatino; and Raquel Peña, Vice president of the government of the Dominican Republic.

The programme of these Eurolat meetings was made up of its four committees, the Executive Bureau, the Working Group on Food Security, the Meeting with Civil Society and the Euro-Latin American Women's Forum.

The Eurolat meetings were framed under three main axes:

- Migration, a topic of great importance in both regions as evidenced by the situation on the border of the Dominican Republic with Haiti.

- Digital and Educational Alliance, where emphasis is placed on important issues of development for our societies such as digital transformation, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, and where the EU-LAC Digital Alliance launched in Bogotá in March 2023 is valued and the investment agenda planned for the EU-LAC Global Gateway.

- Fight against climate change and its effects, where the EU-LAC Bi-regional Strategic Association can make an important contribution to global cooperation efforts.

The Working Group on food security and combating hunger exchanged views on topics such as 'threats and challenges to food security posed by climate change'.

These meetings also evaluated the European Union's Global Gateway investment programme established for Latin America and the Caribbean, for an amount of up to 45 billion euros until 2027, which is aimed at achieving the triple transition, digital, green and social, as well as the need to create follow-up and monitoring mechanisms when implementing these investment programmes.

Most of the meetings were webstreamed and could be followed live through links on the individual websites.
