COMMISSIONS
I am proud to be the first permanent representative of our country in the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development
COMMISSION ON AGRICULTURE AND
RURAL DEVELOPMENT
A huge success for Bulgaria is the membership of MEP Atige Aliyeva-Veli in the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development. For the first time, our country has a permanent representative in the structure to protect the rights of native farmers.
The Commission is responsible for EU policy in the field of agriculture and rural development and deals with all aspects of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).
Commission on Agriculture and Rural Development (AGRI)
The Commission for Agriculture and Rural Development (AGRI) is an important player in shaping the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) as well as animal health and welfare policies, plant health, agricultural product quality, forestry agriculture and agroforestry of the Union. Most of this work is done by preparing reports on legislative proposals falling under the co-decision procedure of the Parliament and the Council to be adopted in plenary.
In addition to carrying out legislative activities, the commission also monitors the implementation of the adopted legislation. In this regard, it cooperates closely with the Commission, the Council, other EU institutions and stakeholders.
Committee on Employment and Social Affairs
In the difficult times of the coronavirus pandemic and its resulting socio-economic consequences, the membership of MEP Atige Aliyeva-Veli in the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs is important for Bulgaria.
The Commission coordinates and monitors national policies and the implementation of EU legislation and promotes the exchange of good practices in areas such as labor rights and coordination of social security systems, training, skills and entrepreneurship.
The EMPL Commission is responsible for employment and all aspects of social policy, including working conditions, social security, social inclusion and social protection; the free movement of workers and pensioners; the rights of workers and employees; measures for health and safety at work; European Social Fund; vocational training policy, including vocational qualifications; social dialogue; and all forms of discrimination in the workplace and in the labor market, with the exception of discrimination based on sex.
