Since 2002 Schieder chairs the SPÖ Penzing, as successor of his father. And since 2005 he has also been a member of the party leadership of the SPÖ Vienna.
In the 2006 national elections, Schieder became a member of the National Council. In parliament, he was his group's spokesperson on foreign policy. From 10 January 2007 he also served as international secretary of the SPÖ federal organisations.
On 1 July 2008 Schieder was appointed state secretary in the Federal Chancellery in the government of Chancellor Alfred Gusenbauer, succeeding Heidrun Silhavy. As state secretary he was responsible for the public service. After the first cabinet of Chancellor Werner Faymann was appointed in 2. December 2008, he also became state secretary in the Ministry of Finance.
On 28 October 2013 Schieder was elected parliamentary leader of the SPÖ in the National Council by the parliamentary club of his party; he succeeded Josef Cap who had held this position for 12 years. He resigned in 2017 and instead chaired the Committee on Foreign Affairs. In addition to his parliamentary work, he was a member of the Austrian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe from 2014 until 2019. Within the Assembly, he sat on the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights.[1]
Since June 2016 Schieder was one of the deputy chairmen of the Social Democratic Party of Austria.
European Parliament
Since becoming a Member of the European Parliament in the 2019 elections, Schieder sat on the Committee on Foreign Affairs. In 2020, he also joined the Special Committee on Foreign Interference in all Democratic Processes in the European Union.[2] Since 2021, he has been part of the Parliament's delegation to the Conference on the Future of Europe.[3]
In addition to his committee assignments, Schieder is part of the parliament's delegations to the EU-North Macedonia Joint Parliamentary Committee, which he chairs,[4] and for relations with Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo.[5] He is also a member of the European Parliament Intergroup on LGBT Rights[6] and of the URBAN Intergroup.[7]
In November 2021, Schieder joined a group of seven Members of the European Parliament led by Raphaël Glucksmann to the Republic of China (Taiwan) to send "a strong signal in support of the self-ruling island", despite a threat of retaliation from The People's Republic of China.[8]
Covid
The most important thing now is to vaccinate as many as possible against corona as soon as possible.. Where a compulsory vaccination is required, it should be introduced nationally.[9]
MEPs have called for clearer European corona travel rules in view of the further spread of the Omikron variant. It is in our very own interest to vaccinate as many people as possible, said Schieder, if necessary also with a mandatory vaccination. However, if vaccination is mandatory in Austria and Germany, it is questionable how to deal with unvaccinated arrivals from Eastern Europe, for example. In addition, it must be clarified how long vaccination certificates are valid and when booster vaccinations are recommended.[10]
